Gov. John Kasich’s budget proposal to cut taxes on businesses and to expand the sales tax base presents a quandary for busi-ness organizations which can see benefi ts as well as disadvantages for their mem-bers. House Bill 59 lowers the rate of the state sales tax from 5.5 percent to 5 percent while expanding the state tax base to in-clude most sales of services. Julie Feasel, a spokesperson for the Ohio Chamber of Commerce, said the chamber hasn’t yet taken a position on the tax proposals in the budget. “We are still reviewing the bill. Our tax committee met today to go through portions of the bill and we have other committees meeting over the next couple of weeks. Be-cause the bill is over 4,200 pages, it might be a couple of weeks before any decision is made on what position, if any, we will take,” she said. Currently, the sale or use of services are exempt from taxation unless a particu-lar service is expressly subject to the tax. The bill reverses that and instead re-quires the taxation of sales of services un-less the sale is exempted, according to an analysis of the bill by the Legislative Ser-vice Commission. Services that will remain exempt in-clude:• Medical and health care• Educational and tutoring• Real property construction• Lease or rental of a residence if the lessee occupies the dwelling for at least 30 days and the dwelling is his or her primary resi-dence.• Adult and child day-care• Social assistance• Services used in the production of tan-gible property by mining• Residential trash pick-up and disposal at single-, two-, and three-family dwellings.• Funeral services• Transactions in which a consumer ob-tains insurance.• Services of an employer for workers.

Sales vs. income:The tax quandaryfor businesses

By Kelly J. KaczalaPress News [email protected]

The Oregon school board passed a res-olution at its last meeting to authorize Trea-surer Jane Fruth to refi nance the balance of its school improvement bonds and save the district $3 million. The district issued $44,999,993.05 school improvement bonds on May 12, 2005 to fund the construction of a new el-ementary school to replace Coy Elementa-ry, and to renovate, add and remodel other buildings in the district, including an ad-dition, partial demolition and renovation of Clay High School. It also funded equip-ment, furnishings, site improvements and landscaping. “The interest rates have been drop-ping,” said Fruth at a Feb. 19 meeting. “The rate is roughly ranging from 3 to 5 percent on the current debt. Preliminary numbers as we run our estimates show we could re-duce that from 1 to 4 percent. This would save our taxpayers over $3 million over the life of the debt, or roughly $158,000 per year. Any way we can fi nd savings for the taxpayers, we will. This resolution allows us to proceed and look into the refi nanc-ing.” The resolution provides for the issu-ance of up to $33,960,000 in school im-

Oregon

Schools may refi nance, save millions

provement refunding bonds. “If the markets were to change in a manner that is no longer advantageous, obviously we won’t follow through,” said Fruth. “But this is the fi rst step in the pro-cess.” Board member Jeff Ziviski said the resolution gives Fruth authorization to pro-ceed with refi nancing the debt. “This is the only motion the board has to make. If the numbers come in the way we want them to be, then we go forward with it,” said Ziviski. “This reduces the rate down to 1 percent for the fi rst several years, then it goes up a percent every fi ve years. But the highest rate it’s going to go is still lower than the highest rate we are going to pay under the current term. And

the $158,000 savings per year is not out of the general fund, but the bond fund. I don’t want to get those two confused. Just be-cause we’re authorizing this tonight doesn’t mean we’re doing it, but only gives Jane the opportunity to investigate it and make sure things go the way we want them to before we proceed.”

More money Also at the meeting, Fruth said in her treasurer’s report that the money the dis-trict will receive from Gov. John Kasich’s new school funding formula if the state’s two year budget is passed will not come close to making up the fi nancial losses over the years. “Oregon is one of the districts that ac-tually has good news from the budget. We will have increases. For 2014, it’s $1.9 mil-lion of increases. For 2015, it’s $2.3 million. The reason this is helping us so much is be-cause it’s been at least four or fi ve years the district has been on a formula. And in that time, I’m sure you’ve heard us talk about the loss of personal property taxes and all kinds of valuation. The bottom line, since 2006, our district has lost 34 percent of our valuation. So this is the fi rst time we’ve received any relief from the state on this,” said Fruth.

“Under our current fi ve year forecast, we were talking about having negative cash balances in 2015 of $490,000 and looking at a negative cash balance in 2017 of $16.8 million. With this new budget, we’d be end-ing 2015 with over $5 million, and ending 2017 down $5.5 million compared to $16.8 million,” she said. She cautioned that the governor’s bud-get has not yet been approved by the Leg-islature. And if it is approved, the increase in funding will not go very far. The dis-trict, she noted, will no longer receive hold harmless monies from the state. “In the governor’s budget, we are not going to get any more money they’ve been sending us to replace the monies we lost in the tangible personal property taxes,” she said. “That’s huge. Obviously, again, this isn’t fi nal. Who knows what other rug can be pulled out from under us. But we’re one of the districts that are happy. It’s about time we’re happy when we consider all the valuations we’ve lost. Yes, we’re having an increase. But in terms of our total budget, what does this really mean to us? You can

see it’s only 5 percent of our general fund budget. Forty-eight percent of our general fund budget comes from our real estate taxes, and 23 percent comes from the state foundation. The 5 percent slice is the in-crease.” Board President P.J. Kapfhammer said it was important to note that the increase in state funding would help the general fund, but not the capital or permanent improve-ment fund. The district is seeking a renew-al of a 2-mill, fi ve year permanent improve-ment levy on the May 7 ballot. The levy is

(local) sales and use tax was collected from 180,934 different vendors. Out of the 30 classifi cation groups, collections ranged from a high of $542.4 million from general merchandise stores to a low of $3.1 million from the agricultural, forestry, and fi shing sector, according to the Ohio Department of Taxation. The bill reduces personal income tax rates over three years and creates a new deduction for business income for those receiving income as a sole proprietor or as an owner of a pass-through entity (S cor-porations, partnerships or limited liability companies treated as partnerships for fed-eral income tax purposes). The deduction equals half of the business income and is capped at $375,000 per year or $187,500 for married couples who fi le separately. Valerie Winterfi eld, executive director of the Oak Harbor Area Chamber of Com-merce, said the organization defers to the Ohio and U.S. chambers on political issues. “It creates too much feedback from both sides in a small town. We focus on helping the business and growing our com-munity,” she said. The board of governors of the Ohio State Bar Association, however, has voted unanimously to oppose the expansion of the sales tax, arguing that taxing legal ser-vices would put Ohio businesses at a com-petitive disadvantage and cause clients to move their business to a state without simi-lar taxes. Joel Dollarhide, a certifi ed public ac-countant with an Oregon fi rm, said the bill would likely result in a 5 percent cost in-crease for businesses using outside profes-sional accounting services “Currently no state adjoining Ohio lev-ies a sales tax on professional accounting services, if the State of Ohio goes forward with this new sales tax it would lead to a competitive disadvantage for Ohio CPAs,” he said. Sarah Beavers, executive director of the Eastern Maumee Bay Chamber of Com-merce, said lower taxes could be benefi cial to the business community but the bill war-rants more study. “We feel a change in legislation that promotes business growth is important. A reduction in certain taxes will hopefully improve small business by allowing them to invest in their business and back into the community. We will be looking into HB59 further as it was just recently introduced,” she said. Roger Geiger, executive director of the National Federation of Independent Busi-nesses/Ohio, told the Ohio Township As-sociation recently the federation’s member-ship was split fairly evenly on the proposal. He said about 1 million small business-es would benefi t from the tax cut but they remain concerned about the broadening of the sales tax.

Sales tax

expected to collect $1,018,277 from 2014 to 2018. The revenue would be used to fund improvements in the district, such as major building repairs, technology upgrades, and the purchase of buses. It would not go to-wards salaries or operations. “This will help the general fund,” Kap-fhammer said of the increase in state funds, “but it has nothing to do with the capital or permanent improvement fund. What we use that money for is busing, security, text-books.”

Rt. 2 bridge, pavement projects The Ohio Department of Transporta-tion has begun a bridge project on State Route 2 near the border of Ottawa and Lucas counties that will close a section of the route through May. The project began last Monday. Route 2, between Veler and Krause roads, will be closed for the bridge replacement, de-touring traffi c to State Route 579, State

Route 51, and I-280. Following the closure, intermittent lane restrictions are possible on Route 2, between Bono Road and Duff Washa Road for pavement repairs. Traffi c will be maintained by fl ag-gers. Weather permitting; the project is scheduled to be completed by October.

Oregon City Council on Monday ap-proved a zoning change and conditional use permit for a parcel on Navarre Avenue for a proposed used car lot. Zoning at 2705 Navarre Avenue was changed from R-2 Medium Density Resi-dential to C-2 General Commercial Zoning. Henry’s Automotive was formerly at the location on the north side of Navarre Avenue, east of Wheeling Street. Jim Gilmore, commissioner of building and zoning, said the parcel has split zon-ing, with C-2 in the front, and R-2 in the back. “The plan commission has granted a conditional use for outdoor sales of autos, and also recommended approval for the zoning change,” Gilmore said. The property that is rezoned at the rear will hold a detention pond, which would provide screening or act as a buffer to resi-dential property that abuts the site. “Are we assured then that the property, when rezoned, will line up with properties next to this parcel with similar zoning?” asked Councilman Jerry Peach. “That is correct. C-2 zoning is the ad-jacent zoning and would match up perfect-ly,” said Gilmore. “The holding pond is great,” said Councilman Sandy Bihn. “Is there actually screening that will go on the northern side of this property so you can’t see residential from this parcel at all? It’s my pet peeve on Navarre Avenue when you look back that you can see all the residential on so many of these parcels and they’ve not been prop-erly screened for the transition from com-mercial to residential.” “That is correct,” Gilmore said of trees and bushes that will provide screening. “We’ll have screening of 20 feet that’s re-quired by the code.” “I remember doing the Home Depot parcel and there was a lot of screening and a whole buffer zone,” said Bihn. “How tall will this grow? Will it actually create a screen after it’s planted that will actually not allow you to see the residential behind it. “If I’m correct, the trees will be every 25 feet and the bushes, which will get to a height of 3 feet within two years, will be the amount of screening there,” said Gilm-ore. “This will be about the best screening in this area that will make the zoning con-sistent,” said Administrator Mike Beazley. “This is a considerable upgrade, about the best we have. The planning commission felt good about it.” Bihn said she thought the screening behind Walmart was more than 20 feet. “Wasn’t the buffer much more than 20 feet? Are we consistent in how we treat people, because it affects property values and it affects the aesthetics in the neighbor-hood, which is important.” “We are consistent,” said Gilmore, “but there’s always a chance council will

Oregon ok’s zoning change for car lot

approve some special project that might require larger buffer yards. It’s specifi ed in the code and that’s what we follow. It’s 20 feet when it abuts residential.” Councilman Dennis Walendzak asked Gilmore if he spoke with residents whose properties abut the parcel and if he had ad-dressed any of their concerns. “I did not have conversations with any residents,” said Gilmore. Residents who would be affected were notifi ed by his of-fi ce about the proposed zoning change. “I did not hear from anybody.” Bihn asked what type of trees will be

used for screening. “We have a list of trees we go off of,” said Gilmore. “There’s a number of differ-ent trees they’re allowed to use. In this particular situation, I believe the screen-ing that’s planned will be even larger than what is required. I believe they will have trees planted around the detention pond, not because it’s required by our code, but because they want to do it. There is a num-ber of species of trees that we could use.” Bihn said Evergreens would be better for screening because the trees are cleaner and create a better buffer. “If it’s possible to suggest that, it would be a good thing,” said Bihn. According to the proposed site plan, the detention pond will be in the back 206 feet of the property and the paved area where the cars will be displayed would be in the fi rst 426 feet. The Project Review Committee dis-cussed the matter and feels that the po-sitioning of the detention pond and the screening in the back 20 feet will buffer the C-2 use against the R-2, according to Gilm-ore. At a planning commission meeting on Jan. 15, Greg Perrin, who represented the owner of the company, said the company owns 22 other used car dealerships. He also said the property will be leased and that the other lots usually have no more than 40-50 autos displayed on the lot.

Two Villages forumaddresses teen issues “Sometimes I don’t know what I need to know in order to make the best decisions for my children.” This comment, often shared among parents, is at the root of the work underway by Two Villages. Formed in 2009 by residents in the Elmore and Woodville communities, Two Villages provides community awareness programs designed to keep adults current on information regarding the core issues surrounding high risk behaviors in teens. The 2013 Community Forum will be held Sunday, March 10 from 3-4:30 p.m. at Grace Lutheran Church, 19225 Witty Rd, Elmore. The fi rst presentation will be “Teen Health and Safety: A Review of Ottawa and Sandusky County Community Health As-sessments” facilitated by Kathy Silvestri, Director of Health Planning of the Hospital Council of Northwest Ohio. Silvestri will discuss the results of the 2011 and 2012 health survey that local teens participated in and compare the data with state and na-tional fi ndings. The second presentation will be on Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD), a condition that is often misdiagnosed as ADD/ADHD and places children at risk for school failure. FASD is a term for a range of effects that can occur in an individual whose mother drank alcohol during preg-nancy. Sister Mary Sartor, FASD Specialist, Double ARC, will facilitate the discussion. The Sisters of Notre Dame founded Double ARC in 1992 to work collaborative-ly with parents and professionals in educa-tion, health and social services, to meet the needs of children with FASD. Sponsors which make these communi-ty events possible include Brush Wellman, Inc., Crosser Funeral Home, Elmore Fam-ily Dentistry, Elmore Kiwanis Club, Elmore Lions Club, Fremont Federal Credit Union, Genoa Medical Center, Grace Lutheran Church, Harris-Elmore Public Library, Otta-wa County Juvenile Court, St. John United Church of Christ, The Press, Trinity Luther-an Church, Woodmore Elementary Student Council, Woodmore Key Club, Woodmore Local Schools, Woodville United Method-ist Church, and several individual donors.

On March 23, the American Legion Post 183 Calf Club is hosting a benefi t for Jimmy Bockbrader, a familiar face in Wood County and the Pemberville area now liv-ing with cancer. Bockbrader has worked for The Fork’s Restaurant for over 50 years. He has been active in the Sons of American Legion Post 183 and other community events. Last year Bockbrader, a lifelong resi-dent of Pemberville, was diagnosed with colon cancer. Although he does not have health insurance and is not able to work, he is currently receiving treatment for his cancer. The benefi t will feature music provided by the Sound of Sorgenbrecher band, 50/50 raffl es and several theme basket raffl es. Admittance to the event includes chicken and beef sandwiches, chips, pretzels, pop-corn and beverages including soda, beer and wine. It begins at 8 p.m. and runs until midnight. “To ensure that this benefi t is as suc-cessful as possible, we have been seeking contributions and donations for this impor-tant event from businesses and individuals in Wood County and throughout north-western Ohio,” Bill Kuhlman, of the Jimmy Bockbrader Benefi t Community, wrote in an email to The Press. “Contributions and donations will be used for several theme baskets that will be part of a raffl e held that evening. We are hoping that we can draw over 300 people for this benefi t. We appreciate any assis-tance that you can provide. It is a fantastic way to show our support and how much we as a community care about our neigh-bors. If you have any questions or need any additional information, please do not hesi-tate to contact me,” Kuhlman continued.

Jim’s father, Kenneth, went into partnership as co-owner of The Forks Restaurant in Pemberville with Paul and Marie Wiggins in 1959.

Jim, who turned 60-years-old last November, started working at The Forks when he was 10.

His mother worked there, too, making pies and doing the dishes or whatever it took, for more than 10 years. Jim’s brother, Steve, who is seven years older to the day (Nov. 20) than Jim, pulled work detail at The Forks. Their sisters, Nancy and Mary, were waitresses and worked in the kitchen as well.

A Lake Township police sergeant will be suspended from duty without pay for being intoxicated while off duty. Police Chief Mark Hummer imposed the disciplinary measure Thursday after meeting with Sgt. Scott Sims to discuss the events of Feb. 16 when the sergeant was driven home from his brother’s wedding re-ception by two members of the township’s volunteer fi re department who were con-cerned he was unable to drive safely. The disciplinary memo from the chief to Sgt. Sims says, “You are hereby sus-pended from duty, without pay from the Lake Township Police Department for a pe-riod of fi ve working days. three days shall be served at the discretion of the Chief of Police and the following two days will be held in abeyance for a period of one year from this date.” If there aren’t more disciplinary ac-

tions against the sergeant in a year the two-day suspension will be waived. The memo is to remain in Sims’s per-sonnel fi le for up to two years as stipulated in the department’s union contract. The township trustees on Feb. 21 ac-cepted the resignations of Fire Chief Todd Walters and the fi refi ghers/emergency medical technicians, Richard Hallock and Michelle Hallock. The three were at the wedding recep-tion of Sgt. Sims’s brother, Steve, also a member of the fi re department. Scott Sims and Steve Sims are the sons of Ron Sims, a township trustee. After driving Sgt. Sims to his home, which is outside the township, the Hallocks administered two bags of saline solution intravenously to him. The trustees, Richard Welling and Melanie Bowen, said their action violated township regulations and occurred on Walter’s watch. The saline solution bags were taken from the township fi re station on Ayers

Road. Ron Sims didn’t attend the Feb. 21 meeting. Chief Hummer’s memo thanks Sgt, Sims for his honesty during the investiga-tion and says the chief has…”faith that you will continue to serve the residents of Lake Township with compassion and dignity in the future.” “He’s a good offi cer and some poor decision shouldn’t refl ect on his whole career,” the chief said Thursday. “People are human, we don’t employ robots. We dealt with the situation and move on from here.” Sgt. Sims is one of two K-9 offi cers with the department and is co-commander of a recently formed regional Special Weapons and Tactics team serving northern Wood County. He has been a member of the township department for 15 years. Chief Hummer said he had no discus-sions with Ron Sims about the disciplinary measure prior to the sergeant’s hearing.

Being intoxicated off duty gets offi cer suspended

Mall asbestossurvey planned,owner rep saysBy Larry LimpfNews [email protected]

A survey of asbestos in the Woodville Mall, which would be an initial step in the demolition process of the deteriorating retail structure, is be-ing scheduled for this week according to the mall’s former general manager. Juanita Jones, who’s told Northwood city offi cials she is representing the new owner of the mall for the demolition, said she’s received bids from two com-panies for demolishing the mall and was expecting a third bid this week. During a Jan. 24 town hall meet-ing, Jones told city council and Mayor Mark Stoner the mall “is coming down” when asked about the owner’s plans. Bob Anderson, city administrator, said the owner would need a demoli-tion permit from the city and would have to post a bond before razing could start. As of last week, no one has ap-plied for a permit, he said. A permit from the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency would be needed to remove asbestos. The city fi led a lawsuit Jan. 17 against Soleyman Ghalchi, of Great Neck, New York, who bought the mall for $800,000 in December, and the sell-er, Mehran Kohansieh, of Little Neck, New York. The complaint is for nui-sance abatement and the removal of buildings and contends the structure is in violation of fi re regulations and health department codes. Northwood Police Chief Tom Cairl last week said Jones has had glass doors and windows boarded up and weeds and debris removed. “That is greatly appreciated,” he said, adding the building had been a target for vandals and metal scrappers. Except for a Sears store, which was one of three anchor stores, and the Andersons, which closed recently, the mall has been vacant for more than a year. Jones told a packed council cham-bers during the town hall meeting the new owner is open to ideas for re-de-veloping the site, including a strip mall between the Sears store and for-mer Andersons site. City offi cials were skeptical and said the lawsuit would proceed. Residents attending the meeting com-plained of vandalism and roofi ng ma-terial blowing into their yards from the mall. They were also concerned about fl ooding of retention ponds which col-lect water from the parking lot. Anderson last week said the city would keep the pressure on the owner to proceed with the demolition. Jones, in an email message to The Press, said she has received calls from two “major companies wanting to build on the property as soon as it is torn down.”

Screenings offered The Ottawa County Board of Developmental Disabilities is hosting a free developmental screening for chil-dren ages 0-3 on Mar. 12 from 4-7 p.m. in Oak Harbor. Residents who live in Ottawa County, have a child ages 0-3 and suspect that child has delays, in-cluding but not limited to speech, so-cial, motor or cognitive, call 567-262-3141 for an appointment.

Back in the day, Jim said it was noth-ing for him to work 60 to 70 hours a week at the family restaurant. He has tended bar – his dad taught him to make drinks – at The Forks for over 40 years.

Jim said he knows what makes a good bartender – “Good service, I guess” – and he usually gets a feel for what his custom-ers want to talk about, if anything.

“I talk about whatever they want to talk about,” he told The Press in a 2008 in-terview. “We talk about politics and what else is going on. You just talk to people. I’m a little bit of everything. You have to keep yourself open-minded and just take care of business.

“If you’re listening and doing a good job, people see that. I see people walk in and I start making their drinks. I can re-member their drinks better than I can re-member their names. I know where they sit. You show you care. That’s just the way it should be done.”

In 1980, fi ve years after Ken Bockbrader passed away of a heart attack at age 58, the Bockbrader family sold The Forks to George

Simon from Toledo.Simon owned the restaurant for about

a year, Jim said, before selling it to Tom Reitzel, who owned the establishment for about eight years. Reitzel sold The Forks to Gordon Bowman, who owned it for about 13 years. Bowman then sold it to the cur-rent owners, Larry and Carol Moore.

Larry Moore, who has owned the Forks for over 12 years, calls Jim “Mr. Everything.”

“He’s super dedicated,” Moore said. “It’s amazing how he knows the people when they walk through the door. He some-times has something fi xed and on the table before they sit down. They love him. They say he makes the best drinks they’ve ever had.

“He does anything that we need to have done. He doesn’t cook, but he mops fl oors, does dishes, waits on tables. He’s a great waiter. He helps out servers when they need anything. He keeps everything spotless and clean.”

Many small towns in Northwest Ohio are nice places to live and raise a family, but most of them do not feature much by way of allure or appeal. There are small communities here that are known for their pizzazz and panache. Elmore and Marblehead come to mind. The residents of Oak Harbor are look-ing to join that group by giving the village something of a “facelift” in order to increase its awareness and appeal to passersby. New businesses include a Verizon store, Lexi and Emma's Closet consignment shop, two excercise faciliities (Body Works and Lisa's Fitness Studio), Millstreet Brew coffee shop, Jewelry by Laurie, Medi-Quip Repairs medical supplies, Kocher & Gillum law offi ce, Senior Helpers home health aids, Primitive Cupboard home decor and craft store, LDJ Nutrition vitamin supplement store, and new businesses coming soon are a jiu jitsu center and an art gallery. But there’s a desire to have more. Mike Shadoan, who owns Radiant Windows, one of the town’s prominent businesses, is heading up the Oak Harbor Downtown Implementation Committee, an organization that consists of local residents that have come together in the hopes of “sprucing up” the town. The goal of the group is to “revitalize the downtown area by bolstering the exist-ing economic base and identifying oppor-tunities that will attract and accommodate future investment.” “We’ve actually gone to towns like Wa-terville and Wooster,” Shadoan said, “and we visited a town up in Michigan. We’ve gone all over. I’ve even gone to some semi-nars on how to revitalize the downtown area. We want to make sure we don’t rein-vent the wheel. A lot of little towns have seen people go to these big stores like Lowe’s, Walmart and Menard’s, and it hurt local business. We’re trying to recapture some of the downtown area. That’s a chal-lenge and we want to take it seriously.” In short, there are three phases of the plan that are being considered. The fi rst phase includes a “beautifi ca-tion” of the town, something that features 13 new benches, 30 fl owerpots and 17 trash receptacles in a Victorian motif be-ing placed along the sidewalks. Shadoan is hopeful that the town can obtain sponsor-ships for these items. “Our goal is to receive sponsorships for as many of these items as possible through donations,” Shadoan said, “featuring a plaque recognition program.” Secondly, the group wants there to be more banners, specifi cally noticeable banners that catch people’s attention. The second phase would also include a further “beautifi cation” of the town with decora-tive poles, bicycle racks and trees being added in and around the village. “Right now, people just drive through Oak Harbor,” Shadoan said. “We want them to stop and take notice and say, ‘This is a nice, quaint little town.’ We want signs, ban-ners that let people know we’ve arrived.” And, thirdly, the plan will consist of some sort of development and revitaliza-tion of the riverfront area. More than anything, Shadoan, a 1987 Oak Harbor High School graduate, believes that these ideas can help to create a news sense of pride in the town. “We want people to be proud of Oak Harbor,” he said. “It seems like when you graduate, you can’t wait to move away. I went to Chicago, California, and then I came back because it’s a great place to raise a fam-ily.” The National Bank of Ohio (NBOH) donated $2500 to the project in the hope that it will help to stimulate change within the town’s landscape. NBOH, which has six locations scattered throughout Ottawa and Lucas County, has been in business for nearly 80 years. “We want to help make Oak Harbor at-tractive and continue to be proud of where

we work and live,” NBOH President & CEO Gary Macko said. “Putting Oak Harbor on the map as a nice, clean community ben-efi ts us all.” In addition to NBOH, Shadoan notes that organizations like the Rotary Club, Li-ons Club and Radiant Windows, among oth-ers, have also been instrumental in helping to fund the project. Shadoan also notes that this isn’t some rogue operation, but rather a collaborative project between residents, businesses and the local government. “We will do all of this with the guid-ance of the village,” he said. We want the administration to be involved as well. We don’t want to do things that are not within the guidelines (of the village).” Shadoan is a fi rm believer in the group’s ideas and is confi dent that residents will follow suit. “I’m optimist,” he said. “Everyone that we’ve tried to reach out to has been giving us positive feedback. Once we get some of these items in place, I think the positive awareness will grow exponentially.” For information, contact Mike Shado-an at 419-706-6034, the Oak Harbor Cham-ber of Commerce at 419-898-0479 or visit www.oakharbor.oh.us.

Thirteen businesses and organizations have been nominated for the 20th annual Prism Awards, a local initiative to honor excellence. The fi rms range from the smallest, Ace’s Barber Shop in East Toledo which employs one, to BP-Husky, the Oregon re-fi nery which employs more than 600. The group will be honored at a banquet Wednesday, 6:00 pm at Sunrise Park & Ban-quet Center in Millbury. Chrys Peterson, news anchor for WTOL-Channel 11, will be the Master of Ceremonies. The program, which is sponsored by the Eastern Maumee Bay Chamber of Com-merce, is open to all businesses located in an area encompassed by East Toledo on the west, Oregon on the north, Oak Harbor on the east and Gibsonburg on the south. Tickets are $50 and a table of eight is $400. RSVP to Sarah Beavers at 419-693-5580. Here are the nominees with a highlight from their applications:

Ace’s Barber Shop Patti Jo Dickey has operated Ace’s since 1983, when it was located on Starr Ave. She stayed there until 2003 when she had both knees replaced and moved to her current location at 1326 Nevada. Prior to her physi-cal limitations, she donated two hours a month to the Toledo Rescue Mission to cut hair for the less fortunate.

BP-Husky Refi nery Last year was the best year for safety in the refi nery’s 94 year history. The refi nery is approaching 10 million hours without a lost-time injury, or more than two years. The company has 600 employees and more than 600 contractors on site daily. One innovation management and employ-ees have adopted is a near-miss strategy in which incidents that could have but did not happen are reported. These raise awareness of hazards and potential safety incidents so strategies can be implemented before an ac-cident takes place. In the area of environmental perfor-mance, BP-Husky has decreased criteria air emissions, as defi ned by the EPA, by more than 45 percent since 2000.

Cancer Connection of N.W. Ohio Jean Schoen founded Cancer Connec-tion out of a personal cancer experience. She saw a need to connect individuals with community resources to help cancer victims through their day to day journey. Services patients can access include a fi -nancial assistance fund, donated medical equipment, temporary housing, nutrition assessment and holistic therapies. Pro-grams and services are free.

an educational initiative designed to pre-pare students for careers in those rapidly growing fi elds. Not only does the rigorous curriculum prepare students, the school has forged partnerships with local businesses who supply speakers to engage students in these fi elds. These include BP-Husky, Mer-cy St. Charles Hospital, ProMedica, First Solar and the University of Toledo, among others. This concentrated curriculum has led to the largest freshman class at Stritch in fi ve years.

Future Wave Salon Jodi Eckman and her 36 employees at Future Wave strive to set an example of environmental leadership in the world of beauty. The fi rm uses Aveda, fl ower and plant based beauty products. More than 90 percent of the essential oils and 89 percent of raw herbal ingredients are certifi ed or-ganic. The salon takes their environmental mission a step further by getting involved in other earth friendly causes. They collect jeans for use in insulation and they collect funds for the Alliance for the Great Lakes. Eckman is also a cosmetology instruc-tor at Clay High School and the salon pro-vides internships and, at times, job place-ment for students.

Holiday Inn Express Holiday Inn Express is a non-smoking, 85-room “Green hotel.” The hotel employs energy saving and water saving measures as well as having a recycling program. Holiday Inn is involved in the Oregon community. It has in the last few years do-nated some 250 rooms for stays for organi-zations and fundraisers. There are 20 employees. To motivate them to provide great service there are “Caught being Good” and Caught being Great” programs in which employees can earn prizes for exceptional service.

Marsh Funeral Homes In 1983, Dave Marsh purchased what

would become the fi rst of his three funeral homes in Luckey. He has since added loca-tions in Pemberville and Woodville. There are three full-time and 17 part-time em-ployees. Marsh was recently named the exclu-sive Veterans and Family Memorial Care Provider in Wood and Sandusky coun-ties. The designation is given to those who provide a high level of affordable, profes-sional service to veterans. Veterans fami-lies receive a Custom fl ag case to preserve the burial fl ag and Marsh collects used cell phones for the Cell Phones for Soldiers pro-gram. Marsh also has an 1884 horse-drawn hearse available for families who use the Pemberville chapel.

Oregon Health & Welfare This effort, which was launched by a few teachers in the 1960s, involved more than 100 volunteers who collect and dis-tribute Christmas food baskets for the less fortunate. In 2012, 259 families were served which included 137 children under the age of 12. School children and teachers annu-ally collect some 2,000 to 3,000 pounds of canned goods a year. Local businesses also contribute cash as well as food. The pro-gram serves Oregon, Harbor View, Curtice and Jerusalem Township.

Oregon Northwood Rotary Chartered in 1987, the Oregon/North-wood Rotary Club has 20 members. This small group has been involved in a number of community programs since 2003. These include the club’s literacy project which has raised more than $7,000 to provide dic-tionaries to third graders. The club, through its annual golf outing, has raised funds to sponsor schools attending the Challenger Learning Center ($57,900) and Rotary In-ternational’s fi ght against polio and other international projects ($21,999) . The club also hosts a Breakfast with Santa program for moderate-income fami-

lies. Food, entertainment and a visit with Santa are provided and a bike is given away. Penta’s ABLE Program Penta Career Center’s Adult Basic Ed-ucation Program started in the 1980s and served 200 students in eight locations. Last year, the program served 1,714 adults in 11 counties and 214 students received their GED. Penta has a partnership with the Uni-versity of Toledo to allow a graduating stu-dent to attend the university free for two semesters. The program is the third largest in Ohio. The Ohio Board of Regents has rat-ed Penta’s ABLE program between 98 to 100 percent during its annual review. The school has met every benchmark and edu-cational functioning level for the past four years.

Pet Finatics David Grosjean and Tracy Kamelesky opened Pet Finatics in 2009. Since then, in-ventory has doubled and employment has increased to six. Employees are trained to advise customers on the digestive habits of various breeds of dogs as well as providing advice on allergies and nutrition. Employ-ees are also trained to advise prospective pet owners on the proper care for reptiles, fi sh or birds. The Press The Press began publishing as The Suburban Press in 1972. Circulation was 12,000. Today, the company publishes two newspapers with a circulation of nearly 34,000, a tourist guide and various maga-zines, directories and school newspapers. The Press covers 19 communities in four counties. The Press employs 15 and has an independent carrier force of 75. The Press has won more than 70 fi rst place awards for investigative reporting, government reporting and in-depth report-ing from such professional organizations as the Ohio Society for Professional Journal-ists and the Ohio Newspaper Association.

Toledo School for the Arts The Toledo School for the Arts current enrollment includes students from 32 dif-ferent school districts, including 12 stu-dents from Oregon. TSA has been rated Ex-cellent by the Ohio Department of Educa-tion on the last seven State Report Cards. In addition to core subjects, TSA offers classes in music, dance, theater and the visual arts. There are “ARTnerships” with all of Toledo’s major cultural institutions to provide summer employment and oppor-tunities for students to work with profes-sional artists. Crystal Bowersox, 2010 American Idol second place winner, attended the school.

Oregon City Administrator Mike Bea-zley told council at a meeting on Feb. 25 that he recently spent some time fi elding calls from the public asking about the city’s plans to build a jail. Beazley, who was in Columbus, was puzzled, since there were no such plans. Apparently, a TV station in Toledo believed such was the case and had broad-casted the inaccurate story, which sparked the inquiries from Oregon residents. “Someone from one our local media outlets took a cursory look at Oregon coun-cil’s agenda and concluded that Oregon was building a jail,” Beazley joked to council. “I was in Columbus with the EPA, and I kept getting calls from people asking me about

Oregon backs funding to study need for new jailthis jail we were building.” The item on council’s Feb. 25 agenda that had apparently confused the station was a resolution expressing support for the Lucas County board of commissioners, in cooperation with the Lucas County sheriff’s offi ce, to submit a grant application to the Ohio Department of Development Local Government Innovation Fund (LGIF) for the purpose of obtaining fi nancial assis-tance to study the feasibility of replacing the current Lucas County Correction Facil-ity. “They gain additional points if other jurisdictions pass resolutions in support of their application for funding,” explained Beazley. “This is not something that the City of Oregon would fund, and we don’t have any other interest in it other than our taxpayers benefi t from an effi ciently oper-ated county jail system.

The Ohio Department of Development administers, and has made available, the lo-cal LGIF for local jurisdictions to enhance effi ciency, collaboration, or shared services in government operations. The fund was established to provide fi nancial resources for planning and short-term fi nancing to implement planned projects. Lucas County offi cials say that the cur-rent county correctional center is opera-tionally obsolete and does not provide an optimal environment for inmates nor cor-rection offi cers. The building does not meet current effi ciency standards, requiring sig-nifi cantly more personnel than facilities of comparable size. In addition, it is believed that the physical plant has reached its us-able life. There are several costly capital projects, which will require attention in the short term to maintain the facility. As a result, the feasibility study is needed to

determine whether the correctional facil-ity should be replaced. The Local Govern-ment Innovation Fund grant would assist with studying opportunities to create op-erational effi ciencies in a new, refurbished, or repurposed Lucas County Correctional Center. The city’s relationship with the county has changed over the years, said Beazley. “We have been working on it for a couple of years. We spend a lot less on jails than we have historically and the county has picked up that burden as we move for-ward. I think we would all benefi t as coun-ty taxpayers if this were a more effi cient system. I do want to emphasize this is just a resolution in support of their application for state funding in the spirit of regional cooperation. We would have no fi nancial obligation associated with this project. The resolution makes that clear,” said Beazley.

Church is frugal To the editor: After reading the letter from Dave Jaeger, I felt the need to add my two cents in the matter of St. Ignatius’ new church building. I cannot speak for others but my family goes, I feel, way above and beyond the call of “stewardship” to others. We volunteer our time, give our money and share our talents in many different ways – most of them ac-tually not even connected with our parish. We’ve even taken a couple people into our home that needed a hand. We received no help for doing this, no award. It was just the right thing to do. So for you, Mr. Jaeger, to insinuate that we don’t do enough for the commu-nity/poor/homeless is absolute lunacy. It’s pretty much how we spend our days. We are not rich. We do not stand to inherit a large amount of money. We are very middle-class – especially since I became unemployed in August 2011. We bust our cans for every-thing we do and everything we have. Even though I am not working, we have not changed how we give. We live within our means. When we need to make a large purchase or want to do something special, we save for it. We are one of the 350 families paying the bill for our much-needed new church building. Believe me, soul-searching is some-thing we do before we do anything. Not re-ally soul-searching, as much as God-search-ing – praying, that is. We consult God fi rst before doing anything and He has always taken care of us. We have never not had food on the table; never not been able to pay our bills. It has been very scary at points, but we always trust that it will work out – and it always does. So, Mr. Jaeger, for you to insinuate that we are being frivolous is extremely insulting to me, to my family and parish family. Frankly, the fi scal business of our par-ish members is their business and nobody else’s. And, as I would never assume that I could begin to tell people what to do with their money or assets – personally or in busi-ness practice, I would never expect anyone to give me such unsolicited advice. As I’m not sure any of us asked for you (whom I don’t even know) to inform us of what to do with our money, as it is just that – our money – to do with as we please, we don’t really warrant a response from you in that respect. In Oregon, in Ohio, and, for now, in the United States of America – it is everyone’s own personal decision what to do with his or her earned income. If we want to spend everything we have on a train collection, or give it all to the Cherry Street Mission, that is our right. It is also up to churches to do

with their money as their parish sees fi t. The existing structure, as it stands, is not, as indicated, “structurally sound.” The idea of repair was considered, and it was shown to be very, very costly – and of course only temporary. All avenues were discussed with those of us who took the time to discuss them. This new church is being built – not for us, for today, but for future generations to enjoy. Yes, these are uncertain times and get-ting more uncertain by the hour. So, in 10 years, or 20, when we really need to build a new structure, are times going to be any bet-ter? I strongly doubt it, considering the di-rection of un-Godliness that our country has taken. We may not be business owners, have a ton of money, or hold patents, but we are well-educated people and we do research before we make decisions.Julie CoxPaul Cox Jr.St. Ignatius Parish members

Slow it down To the editor: You press the accelera-tor and feel the raw power as your hyper-chipped, turbo diesel, springs to life. The high-fl ow custom exhaust sounds as if 400-plus horses are snorting in unison while the speedometer quickly climbs toward 50 mph in only a few hundred feet. The adrenaline-fueled rush gives you a boost of excited en-ergy, as you are thrown back against your seat. As I recall, I have noticed you enjoying your thrill ride since the middle of last sum-mer. You have obviously invested a lot of money in performance upgrades. It is your truck, so you have every right to thrash it to your heart’s content. The only problem is you are doing it on my densely residential 35 mph Toledo Street. Since I am a mechanic, I know that parts in a vehicle’s suspension and drive train have been known to sometimes break, resulting in a loss of control. These parts are especially vulnerable to failure when they are subjected to abuse on a regular basis. There are a number of children in my neighborhood including four of my own grandchildren who ride bikes and play in the front yard. Like I said it is your truck – you are entitled to treat it any way you want. I just want to say that the risk of a ter-rible accident is not something that my fam-ily wishes to share with you. And since my grandchildren are a part of this equation, I

have to say that, if anything were to happen to them, I would without question become quite vengeful. Now I could just call the law and ask them to talk to you, but my karma tells me not to. Besides I really don’t think you need the trouble. So could you slow it down until you get out of town?Randy Kania Curtice

Sad misunderstanding To the editor: My three children gradu-ated from Clay High School alive and well, and are responsible, successful citizens. That was many years before school mass shootings were happening. P.J. Kapfhammer was charged with menacing and disorderly conduct after the unfortunate incident when he had to con-front a disabled man. Too bad all people involved in being at the gym, including Mr. Kapfhammer, weren’t aware Thomas Blackowski was cleared to be in the gym. I’m still wondering why some-one there didn’t identify Blackowski. Surely others must have known that he was cleared to be there at the time of the confrontation. Why didn’t anyone speak up, or identify him? I fi rmly believe Kapfhammer did the proper thing for these times and days of dan-ger – he followed through on what was the best for the most people. Had Blackowski been a shooter, citizens could be attending untold numbers of funer-als, instead of court hearings. Had my children been there, I person-ally would offer a medal to Kapfhammer.Marge Stover Oregon

Thanks, Ted To the editor: Ted Nugent says that guns don’t commit crimes, people do. Thanks, Ted. You’ve just offered the best reason for gun registration, background checks, clos-ing gun show loopholes, and passing legal guidelines for assault weapons and surro-gate “straw” purchases. Ted also points to tough gun laws and rising murder rates in Chicago as proof that gun laws are ineffective. Again, thanks for bringing this up, Ted. Tough gun laws need to be national so that criminals won’t go over state lines like they do in Illinois. Finally, Ted says that

99.9 percent of gun owners are responsible. That’s good, Ted. But since 1960, that other 0.1 percent has been responsible for many deaths. Thanks for alerting the majority of NRA members and the nation who favor sensible gun legislation, Ted.Paul SzymanowskiCurtice

Afraid of government To the editor: I am 85-plus years old, served in the Air Force and have never been afraid of my government – until now. This President scares me. It appears to me that he is trying to do what Hitler did in 1933. I have not talked to two people who voted for him. I do not like military-type rifl es. Our snipers did more damage than the man with a machine gun. If you can hit a target, you do not need a spray gun. I buy my guns through dealers and I know the FBI keeps a record. I am also an NRA member.George BiechelerOak Harbor

Generosity applauded To the editor: I recently helped with the Oregon Health & Welfare Christmas Basket program. Before the distribution started, Bo Marquette announced that BP had donated $3,500 to the organization. He said that the donation had been made from the BP Husky refi nery employees. The refi nery had set a Safety record and the company was going to reward the employees. At Christmastime the employees decided to donate the monies to local charities – all $20,000 of it. I wanted to congratulate the employ-ees on their generosity to the community at these tough timesJohn EisenhartOregon

Lighten up To the editor: It seems to me that the recent forced resignations of the two Lake Township fi refi ghters and especially the fi re chief were excessive. A reprimand and/or a suspension would have been suffi cient. Lighten up trustees.Donald ShafferOregon

CorrectionA sports feature about former Cardinal Stritch and Tri-State University basketball player Joe Gajdostik in The Press incorrectly gave his wife’s fi rst name. Her name is Jodi Gajdostik, not Mary. The Press regrets the er-ror.

The Press Opinion

John Garcia, former Ohio State Repre-sentative and Golden Gloves boxer, passed away 10 years ago, but his reach from the grave is still felt by Ohio’s criminal gangs. In 1998, Garcia was living on Albert Street in East Toledo. His neighborhood, like others in the city, was scarred with gang graffi ti and drug abuse. Violence was common, so much so the Toledo Po-lice Department created a gang task force. Toledo was just one city in a state ranked fourth in the country with an estimated 17,000 criminal gang members, according to the National Youth Gang Center. Today, it’s worse. According to the FBI, there are 33,000 gangs and 1.4 million gang members in the United States, 135 of those gangs op-erate in Ohio. In 1998, Garcia sponsored a bill drafted by then Attorney General Betty Montgom-ery. The bill made it a crime to be a mem-ber of a criminal gang. While it received support from law enforcement, Garcia was ridiculed by those on the left who said it trampled on a person’s civil rights. They claimed the bill would infringe on a per-son’s right to assemble. Guilt by association is not a crime, they said. Garcia pushed forward and later that year Governor George Voinovich came to the East Toledo Family Center to sign the bill into law. Ten years later, law enforcement fi nds the bill a useful tool in its fi ght against gang violence, although it is rarely used. Det. Orlando Colon of the Lorain Po-lice Department said his department has used the bill twice and found it “extremely effective.” In the most recent case, the department targeted a gang that controlled Long Street

in the western part of the city. Twenty-two members were charged with participating in a criminal gang. Twenty have pled guilty and two cases are pending, Det. Colon said. “We went after the most violent, the most active and the most infl uential gang members…They terrorized the citizens of that neighborhood. They had it under iron-clad control. Now, it’s a ghost town. The citizens can now enjoy their neighborhood without these guys controlling them and without the drive-by shootings. We target-ed the right people.”

“

“Law enforcement, as a whole, tends to be behind the

curve in regards to recognizing gang

activity...

The law, Ohio Revised Code 2923.42, classifi es criminal gang participation as a felony and stipulates a sentence of two to eight years. An additional sentence of one to three years can be added to any crime committed by a gang member. Forfeiture of property including drugs, guns, computers, vehicles and property is also stipulated. However, there are problems. “It’s rarely used because of the volume of work you have to do with it,” Det. Colon said. “Law enforcement, as a whole, tends to be behind the curve in regards to recog-nizing gang activity for what it really is. You tend to look at each thing as an indi-vidual act instead of how it fi ts into the big picture.” Capt. Brad Weis, commander of the Strategic Response Bureau of the Toledo Police Department, and the man who was in charge of the gang task force for seven years agreed. “It’s certainly a positive. But, it’s tough to put a case together because you have to have a past history of gang participation. You have to prove they’re a member of a gang and there usually has to be an offense of violence in their history,” he said. To compile that past history, police of-fi cers need to comb a mountain of reports to determine where crimes are committed, who committed them and who their as-sociates are. Social Internet sites are also tracked. Custom designed, expensive, ana-lytical software is utilized to establish rela-tionships between gang members and their activity. Capt. Weis said two Toledo gangs are expected to be prosecuted under the gang law. The department has ramped up gang counter efforts following the drive-by

shooting at the Moody Manor in Toledo in which a one-year-old toddler was killed. He added that Toledo offi cers have pro-vided information to prosecutors in Wood and Seneca counties about Toledo gang members arrested there. Capt. Weis said the department’s gang task force is tracking 20 major gangs and numerous neighborhood gangs. The task force has 15 offi cers to meet the increased activity. Julie Wilson, chief assistant prosecutor for Hamilton County, said her department has used the law in three prosecutions in the last fi ve years. The biggest case was a 95-count indictment of members of a north side Cincinnati gang. A report on that in-vestigation by the Cincinnati Police Depart-ment and prosecution by Hamilton County was published by the National Network for Safe Communities. The report states 71 arrests were made and 15 gang mem-bers were charged with participating in a criminal gang. It concludes that the inves-tigation, called the Cincinnati Initiative to Reduce Violence (CIRV), led to a 40 percent reduction in violent crime in the Northside neighborhood. Lt. Brett Isaac, director of the CIRV, says that while the law has been used it is time consuming, resource intensive and costly. Besides, he adds, “So many of these gangs are so loosely affi liated that gang prosecu-tion is not the most effective tool.” “We can’t arrest our way out of these problems,” he added. Maybe not. But, John Garcia would be pleased to know that his foresight has made some neighborhoods in Ohio safer.

Comment at [email protected]

It’s not true that experience is the best teacher; someone else’s experience is a bet-ter teacher. So who do you turn to for advice? Af-ter all, there’s no reason to reinvent the wheel. This seems like a simple concept rooted in common sense. Who are the right people to take ad-vice from? You want advice from those people who are where you want to be. People who have attained the same goals you are striving for know what the pitfalls are and how to overcome them. Their ad-vice can save you a vast amount of time and effort. It’s great if you know someone person-ally, but you don’t have to in order to ben-efi t from their experience. Most success-ful people write books or articles or have books or article written about them. They give interviews and talks. Some give train-ing seminars. There are frequent news stories about people who succeed as well as those who fail. These stories provide invaluable ex-amples you can learn from. Always look for the common personality and character traits displayed by successful people. Con-versely, what are the elements shared by those who fail? What about situations where no one has yet achieved what you are trying for? People responsible for breakthroughs and discoveries never start from scratch. They

thing already existing. For example, the people who created the fi rst personal computers did not start by rediscovering electricity. Nor did they reinvent electronics from scratch. They modifi ed and adapted existing products in order to realize their vision. Great generals always study success-ful and unsuccessful battle strategies throughout history. Business leaders are well versed in the lessons of their prede-cessors. Each year, technology advances by modifying and improving successful products. As soon as Thomas Edison invented the light bulb, others began enhancing it. They used what Edison had already dis-covered as their starting point. Once the Wright brothers built a working airplane, aviation companies sprung up to improve on the original design. Learning from those who have gone be-fore you is working intelligently. Although hard work is the foundation of success, it is a waste of time when it takes you in the wrong direction. Who are the wrong people to take ad-vice from? Those people who are not where you want to be. Just about everyone will offer you their opinion if you ask and many will do so without your invitation. Although they may be well meaning, their advice is often faulty. If they knew

what they were doing, they would have succeeded with their own advice. People listen to wrong advice for a variety of rea-sons. They think the person knows what they are talking about. They fear being shunned if they reject the advice. They crave approval. The person offering the advice may be overbearing. Regardless of the reason, taking bad advice guarantees undesirable results. The advice you want comes from those who are already where you want to be. When you share your dreams with others, you attract unsolicited, unproven advice. Just because advice is offered, you are un-der no obligation to follow it. Don’t argue with someone offering uninvited advice. Thank them and change the subject. Be selective about the advice you fol-low. Search out people who have attained the goals you seek. They know a lot about what works and what doesn’t. Learn from their experience and you’ll accelerate your success.

Boosters’ Mardi Gras event a sure bet for a good timeBy Cynthia L. JacobySpecial to The [email protected]

An evening of festivities and gambling, complete with a makeshift horse race, will highlight the Genoa Comets Athletic Boost-ers’ Mardi Gras fundraiser March 15 at Mill-bury Firemen’s Hall. This is the third year for the event – one of two of the organization’s key fundrais-ers for the year. The 2012 event, attended by an estimated 300 people, brought in about $24,000, said Booster President Laura Sheahan. Sheahan’s husband made the wooden, stick horses that’ll be ridden by “jockeys” such as coaches of various Comets’ teams. “It’s just some silly little fun that helps us raise money for the teams,” she said.

Tickets are $75 per couple, which in-cludes a reverse raffl e ticket. Individual tickets are $50. A single reverse raffl e tick-et is available for $25, and the purchaser need not be present to win. Last year, there was a top prize of $1,000, Sheahan said. Tickets are available from any Genoa Athletic Boosters offi cer or at the offi ce of Genoa Athletic Director Mike Thomas, lo-cated at the high school. Doors open at 6 p.m. when guests can begin dining. Entrées for the cafeteria-style dinner include barbecue ribs and chicken dishes. Then the fun will revs up at 7 p.m. as the Big Six Wheels and the Beat the Dealer tables start running, along with other live raffl es and the silent auction. “There is constant entertainment go-

ing on all the time,” Sheahan said. The Mardi Gras fundraiser benefi ts the athletic teams and their facilities, but students and those under 21 cannot partici-pate. The boosters have a temporary liquor license for alcohol sales that night includ-ing beer and wine coolers. “Because of the gambling and the al-cohol, kids are not allowed,” Sheahan ex-plained. The Genoa Athletic Boosters have a strong fundraising history. The two biggest fundraisers are the Mardi Gras party and the Goal Post Gala held each August. Their efforts have enabled the organization members to contribute toward major un-dertakings on the Genoa Schools’ campus on Genoa-Clay Center Road. Most recently, a donation approved by the Genoa Board of Education went toward

new lockers at the newly-renovated high school gymnasium. And last year, a sum of $215,000 helped create the new regulation soccer fi eld and practice facility as well as support baseball fi eld upgrades. This year’s Mardi Gras party is being supported by a number of prominent spon-sors – GenoaBank, Baumann Auto Center, the Dave Marko company and Dimech Services all contributed $1,000 for a gold sponsor designation. Nissen Concrete is a silver star contributor. Sheahan noted a number of businesses and individuals in the community con-tribute cash, items and time to make the event a success. She said business such as Potter Creek Pottery, Mr. Emblem and Ge-noa Custom Interiors donate merchandise for the silent auction.

Reese Dailey Band delivers sounds of “Americana”By Jeffrey D. NorwalkPress Contributing [email protected]

It doesn’t sink in that I’m fi nally about to interview Pat Dailey – one of the cool-est son-of-a-guns I’ve ever seen – until he shoots me a quick text, to change our meet-ing place. “Swig in Perrysburg,” he suggests. Two or three beers apiece, along with chasers of belly laughs later, and we’ve chewed upon everything from baseball to island bar Tony’s Garage, to playing live music in said bar with cats named Dan, Mike, and Chuck. Yes, the interview with the “Great Lakes Troubadour” aka the “South Bass Bard” – the iconic singer, songwriter and storyteller whose prolifi c work is as much a part of the summertime soundtrack around these parts as, say, Cedar Point, was one of the best in my career. So was the one with his son Reese, a 49-year-old fi nance specialist with Mathews Ford in Oregon, who happens to be carry-ing on the Dailey family tradition of mak-ing music as the lead vocalist and guitarist for his Reese Dailey Band. Reese has that famous Dailey grin, can spin yarns with the best of them and has a deep respect for his pops and the legacy he’s forged. Still, the younger Dailey and his boys want to sail in their own waters. Their music is a little more bluesy than Pat’s – de-cidedly more Southern rock, and less folky. It’s a little darker and more “slice-of-life.” Still a good time and danceable. “It’s a funny thing actually, because in a very real sense, my dad’s not been very supportive at all,” shares Reese as he re-fl ects on growing up on the west side of Chicago, where he got to watch his father collaborate with late author, cartoonist and singer-songwriter Sheldon Silverstein (“Where the Sidewalk Ends”) on what would become the impetus of many a Pat Dailey island-fl avored, nautically-themed

tunes, including “Walleye Willie,” “On the Water” (for which the pair would win a Telly, for its use in a TV commercial) and the children’s album “Underwater Land” to name a few. It was a time that fi rst inspired the son to pick up a guitar, and later start gigging around Chicago at high school parties, much to the dad’s chagrin. “I can actually hear him say to me, ‘Learn how to do a job. The music business is too tough; it doesn’t pay. Go out and fi nd something that will make you money’,” remembers the younger Dailey. “He tried to talk me out of music, be-cause he knew he’d had a hard life, be-ing divorced, with three kids (Reese has two brothers, Kevin, 48, and Tom, 43), and trying to make ends meet,” he said.

“Often, he’d play six nights a week, and when you’re drinking six nights a week, that’s a hard way of life. So, he succeeded in talking me away from it and it worked for about 20 years, until music pulled my heart back. “I had moved to Cleveland right around the age of 22, and started bartending. I got into the title insurance business, which I did for about 20 years, and was making good money. I was just having a lot of fun in life, boating, traveling, and playing base-ball,” continues Reese. “But something was always missing, and that something was music. “I just thought to myself, ‘I’m not going to spend the last half of my life wondering what this music thing could’ve been,’” he said. “I got out of the title business. I got some guys together, and we formed a band. Then I played with some other guys, and we ended up playing together in the band we’re in today,” he said. “My dad was totally against the whole idea, until I’d been playing for about four years. In that time, our band had gotten to the point where we were playing for him, then with him, and he saw how people were kind of making a big deal out of us,” Reese said. “Then our album came out, and he was like, ‘Boy. . .where did you come from?’ Ever since, he’s been taking us really seriously.” And who can blame him? It takes only a quick listen to the RDB’s debut album “Simpatico,” released in 2010 by Olympia Records, Inc. out of Put-in-Bay, to discern that this is one exciting collection of musi-cians steeped in dedication, electric chem-istry, tight musical chops, a loose sense of fun, and perhaps most importantly that old-est, purest, most-timeless form of American music, the blues. The disc’s opening track, “Live it Up” – a sexy, mid-tempo blues number features Reese and pops Pat trading off on growl-

ing out the verses about getting up, dusting yourself off and celebrating life after being down for so long. The buoyant “Save Me,” has meaning to Reese as it tells of trials, tribulations, wreckage and rebirth that he went through in an earlier time in his life, carried along by lyrics that proclaim, “Save me, take me, away from here/See me, for who I really am, and love me, dear.” Though just as quickly as “Simpatico” takes you soaring up into the light, it also drops you back down into the depths, as on offerings like “Detroit,” with dark, forebod-ing undercurrents that lament the glut of foreign cars currently choking the life out of American streets. Guitarist Mike Cleveland’s hotshot fret work is both tempered in a harder-edged, rock-n-roll vein and seasoned from approx-imately 15 years of touring with regional fa-vorites All Hail Me. He also stands in as the band’s “Wizard Behind the Curtain” when it comes to matters of mixing the RDB’s sound both in-studio and live. Bass player Dan Langguth, a Chicago native, grew up with Reese and played in the same high school band, brings a myriad of experience and style to the game, having gigged everywhere from churches, to Chi-cago’s seediest clubs, to the national stage. The RDB is what Reese likes to call “Americana.” “I like to think our sound catches a whole bunch of different styles. I grew up on Southern rock like Lynyrd Skynyrd, the Allman Brothers, the Marshall Tucker Band, and the Charlie Daniels Band, so that’s there. There’s a little bit of country in there, because my parents raised me on it. The blues is in there. My dad’s songwriting style is in there, since I used to watch him write. There are lyrics that take you some-where, that tell you a story, rather than just a few catchy lines. There’s good, hard, driving guitar, and slide guitar. It’s Ameri-cana.”

Reese Dailey shares a commanding stage persona as well as his strong vocal fortitude with his father, Great Lakes Troubadour Pat Dailey.

Christian Soto (standing) and Wes Sneed rehearse for Fassett Middle School’s upcoming performance of “Little Mermaid Jr.” (Press photo by Ken Grosjean)

In keeping with recent tradition, the opening night performance Friday March 22 will serve as a benefi t night for Andrew Gale. Andrew, a 2010 Clay High graduate, was a member of the Limelighters and cur-rently attends Bowling Green State Uni-versity. He is recovering from an accident that occurred in the fall while on a fi eld trip

with the BG Outdoor Activity Club to Hope Lake in southeast Ohio. As he dove/swam out into the lake water, he hit his head. Immediately, he turned himself around and yelled for help from friends. He was airlifted to a hospital in Columbus and although he never lost consciousness, he suffered a severe spinal cord injury. Andrew had several surgeries to repair his broken vertebrae and attend to other injuries. Today, he continues to heal and rehab through physical therapy. The Limelighters will donate $1 from every ticket sold on opening night as well as a percentage of the 50/50 proceeds and concession sales. Money raised may help with therapy or book expenses when An-drew returns to BG in the fall.

By Mark Griffi nPress Contributing [email protected]

What is the defi nition of respect?Respect is when coaches and media

members who cover your team vote you to the All-Three Rivers Athletic Conference second team and name you honorable men-tion all-district.

Patricc Booth recently garnered both of those honors despite playing for a Clay basketball team that fi nished the regular season with a 1-20 record.

The 6-foot-1 junior guard, a second-team all-conference pick as a sophomore, fi nished third in the TRAC in scoring at 16.7 points per game and grabbed 5.7 re-bounds a game. He shot 76 percent from the free throw line.

“He’s a good student, a positive kid,” Clay coach Rob Belegrin said. “He listens to what you tell him and he doesn’t think he’s above the team, and he very well could be like that. It’s been tough, but my team works their butts off.

“We play in a great league and we’re outmanned. We don’t have an inside game and we shoot 22 percent from the 3-point line. We can shoot, they’re just not fall-ing.

“We work very hard on defense and our kids play hard every game. I know that’s cliché, but I have people coming up to me to tell me that. The kids still believe. We’ve been close.”

Booth refuses to criticize his team-mates for the Eagles’ lack of success this season – Clay was 5-16 a year ago – even though, like them, he can get frustrated. At the same time, he has a desire to improve several aspects of his game, which includes getting in the weight room to add some

Booth respected by Three Rivers coaches

bulk to his 160-pound frame.“One of my big goals was to be fi rst-

team All-TRAC,” Booth said. “Other than that, I accomplished many of my goals. Scoring-wise, I thought I did pretty good. Other things I can work on, like my (shoot-ing) percentage. It all starts with the off-season, putting up shots and putting in the hard work. Your team might not be doing well, but you’ll get better. I could have done some things better.”

Booth, whom Belegrin has called “the purest shooter I’ve seen at Clay High School in 17 years,” shot just 23 percent from 3-point range this season. And yet, he still surpassed 20 points in a game eight times, including a season-high 29 at Lima Senior.

“I’ve been kind of streaky this year,” Booth said. “I’ve had games where I was hot and had games where I was cold. For me, it’s more mental. I’m not scared to

shoot, it’s just that I have to work on my form with repetition, over and over. A lot of shots I take are good shots and they just don’t fall. I just have to work on letting the shot (attempts) come to me instead of rush-ing it.”

Belegrin said Booth’s shot selection this season was good, for the most part, and the coach was pleased that his standout guard was able to get to the free throw line more than he has in the past.

“Scorers get to the foul line, and he needed to get better there this year,” Belegrin said. “He’s done that, but he still needs to get there more. The best part of his game is his mid-range game. I just want him to get stronger going to the rim, going in and drawing contact. If he puts anoth-er season like this one together, he’ll be a 1,000-point scorer. He could easily be av-eraging 22 points a game if he shot 30-35 percent from the 3-point line.”

Booth said he looks forward to help-ing Clay basketball get over the hump next season. His goal is to earn a college scholar-ship in the process.

“We would hang out a lot more as a team last year, not just on the court,” Booth said. “This year there wasn’t as much of that. You hang out with someone more, bet-ter things will happen on the court. Next year I think there will be more team bond-ing.”

Belegrin added that Booth, who played some varsity as a freshman, is a safe bet to fi nally get on that All-TRAC fi rst team next season.

“He’s been consistent for two years in a league that has three state-ranked teams,” Belegrin said. “Next year he might be a fa-vorite for player of the year in the TRAC. He’s been a pleasure to coach for three years.”

““He’s been consistent

in a league that has three state-ranked

teams. Next year he might be a favorite

for player of the year...

Szypka fourth at SEC Brad Szypka, a 2011 Genoa gradu-ate and sophomore at the University of Kentucky under a track and fi eld scholarship, took fourth in the shot put at the SEC Championships in Fayette-ville, Arkansas. He threw 18.83 meters (61 feet, 9½ inches), which is also his personal best mark this year. The mark was eighth-best in school history indoors. He is currently ranked 17th among throwers in NCAA Division I. He is hoping to get an invitation to the D-I NCAA champi-onships on March 9. Szypka is considered one of the team’s top throwers with the Ken-tucky’s best shot put mark coming at the Florida Relays (16.62m/54-06.50). He also registered in the team’s top three in discus and hammer throw and competed in the USA Junior Outdoor Track & Field Championships shot put in Bloomington, Ind., fi nishing 13th. His mark of 16.62m/54-06.50 was his best throw of 2012. During the indoor season, Szyp-ka had the team’s best shot put of the indoor season on his home track at the SEC Championships (16.35m/53-07.75). He produced the team’s second-best weight throw (15.92m/52-02.75) at the Rod McCravy Memorial. While at Genoa, Szypka fi nished fi rst in the weight throw at the state in-door track meet of Ohio as a senior. He fi nished fi rst in district Division II in the shot put as a senior, and won the Division II regional meet as well, and won the state championship in Divi-sion II in the shot put as a senior. Szyp-ka owns the Genoa High School shot put record (64 feet, 4.5 inches). He also was a fi rst team All-Suburban Lakes League football player.

Getting to the City League champi-onship game got to be a normal thing for Waite’s girls’ basketball team the last few years.

Reaching this year’s CL title game on Feb. 16 against sixth-ranked (Division II) Rogers didn’t come with all the pomp and circumstance as the Indians’ previous ap-pearances with all-everything player Na-tasha Howard, but it was special just the same.

Coach Manny May, in his 15th season, guided Waite to the league title game with-out Kre’ana Henry, the team’s leading scor-er. The 5-foot-11 senior wing was one of the top scorers in the CL and was the Indians’ second-leading rebounder when she was lost for the season after 14 games.

Henry was averaging 17.6 points a game when she went down with a torn ACL against Columbus Brookhaven.

“She did the little things,” May said. “She handled the ball in the high post and had nice height, and she could handle the basketball. She had great leadership skills. Losing Kre’ana was very hard for the team to recover from because of her leadership.”

May said a variety of players stepped up in Henry’s absence, most notably Late-sha Craig, a 6-1 junior post. Craig averaged 12 points and a team-best 10.5 rebounds a game after Henry went down with the in-jury.

“She’s been dominating in the post,” May said. “She could be very good, one of those kids who can come out of the City of Toledo and dominate. She has a good jump shot, and the sky’s the limit if she puts the work in.”

Waite, which lost to former CL rival Central Catholic in the sectional tourna-ment on Feb. 20 at Clay, fi nished the sea-son with an 8-13 record and a 6-4 mark in the CL.

The Indians had four players average between 6-7 points a game this season.

After reaching City fi nal, Lady Indians exit tourney


Devon Dunbar has had one wrestling coach his entire life, and that’s just fi ne with him.

Dunbar’s coach is his father, Bill Can-non, the head coach at Northwood.

“I’ve never had any other coach but my dad,” Dunbar said. “I feel I work a lot harder when he’s there.

“I don’t wrestle just because he was a state champion (at Lake), I just wrestle be-cause I love the sport. It’s a lot better having a dad as a coach. He makes it easier to learn and stay motivated.”

A father-son relationship turned coach-son relationship on a consistent basis can often be a prickly situation. The two have their moments. Every match Dunbar, a 106-pound sophomore this season, wins, Bill fi nds joy. Lose a match and Dad feels like you just cut his heart out with a spoon.

“I don’t know if it’s losing a lot of sleep as much as losing life,” Bill joked about watching Devon on the mat. “It’s frustrat-ing, but I love it. Sometimes we argue like crazy in the (practice) room and get on each other’s nerves. But in the corner, we’re a great team.

“He knows as long as he can come off the mat and know that he can hang his hat — try as hard as he can — at the end of the day I won’t be mad at him. I tell all my wrestlers that. If you feel you did your best, our job is done.”

Devon and his old man were equally frustrated at last week’s Division III district tournament at Bowling Green. A week ear-lier at the Elmwood sectional, Devon took third in his weight class to advance to BG. The top four placers at districts advanced

Ranger sophomore just misses trip to state to this week’s state tournament in Colum-bus. The fi fth-place fi nishers qualify as state alternates.

Devon Dunbar fi nished sixth at dis-tricts, losing the match for fi fth/sixth place to a wrestler from Edgerton. It was the same opponent that Devon whipped in the open-ing round, 15-2, a day earlier. Devon lost the rematch, 8-7.

“He beat the kid the day before and came out and wrestled like crap (on Satur-day),” Coach Cannon said. “He did not feel good, so he kind of fell apart at the end.”

Dunbar opened the tournament with a loss to a wrestler from Sandusky St. Mary. He beat an opponent from Genoa, then an-other one from Lake. That set Devon up with a match against Woodmore junior standout Evan Ulinski, who took fourth at 106 pounds at last year’s state tournament and will take a 46-3 record into this week’s tournament.

Ulinski got a second-period escape and held on for a 1-0 victory over Cannon.

“He was very elusive,” said Ulinski, who pinned Cannon twice last season.

Bill Cannon knew his son was in for a tough match against Ulinski, a three-time league champion who is considered a “big” 106-pounder.

“It was the luck of the draw,” Coach Cannon said. “Devon had to wrestle some-body big to get out. We had a lot of scram-bles, a lot of activity the whole match and that’s how it ended up.”

The loss dropped Devon down to the match for fi fth/sixth place, against the foe from Edgerton.

“After that match (with Ulinski) I was disappointed I wasn’t going to state,” Devon said. “It wasn’t the right time to be wrestling in a match (for fi fth/sixth place). I didn’t feel good and my mind wasn’t in it.

With Ulinski, I know he’s strong and I know if I get myself in a bad position he’ll capi-talize off that. I was stopping his shots and tried not to get muscled. I started scram-bling and it was only a one-point match. It stunk, because I was one point away.”

Dunbar fi nished the season with a 30-9 record — and made his coach very proud in the process.

“When he wrestled Ulinski, that was probably the best he’s wrestled all year,” Bill said. “I was impressed. I told him, ‘you did nothing wrong.’ Coming into next year, he’s probably going to be the guy to beat, I’m thinking, at 120. He’s been growing a lot and was struggling to get to 106 this year. My goal is to make him really strong this summer.”

Dunbar said he plans to take a week off and then begin training with strength coach Tyler Derr. He qualifi ed to the Junior Na-tionals in Fargo, N.D., as an eighth-grader but took last summer off, but he plans to go there again this summer.

“I don’t want to get burned out,” Devon said. “I’ll take a week off to rest up and then I’ll push myself so I’ll be where I want to be next year. My technique’s good and I want to work on getting stronger, then I’ll have every single aspect to be the best. Being a state champion is my goal.”

Sophomore point guard Ramiah Henry, who saw some varsity action last season,

averaged seven points, fi ve assists and two steals a game during the regular season.

“She’s a heck of a defender,” May said. “I just want her to take control of the basket-ball and be a point guard. As a sophomore, she hasn’t learned how to do that. She de-fers too much. At crucial times, when she should be handling the ball, she’ll let some-body else have the basketball when it’s not their forte. She needs to point people to where they need to be and do the things they need to do.”

Senior guard/forward Janea Kenny and junior guard Yatiah Caldwell both averaged seven points a game.

“Janea is coming around; she had her ups and downs,” May said. “She’s a very talented kid, one of those (players) who could have scored more. But, she would rather pass. She needs to be more poised at times, but she can handle the basketball and she can shoot it. If she puts her mind to it, she can accomplish anything.

“Yatiah is a fl at-out scorer. Her abil-ity to get to the basket is phenomenal, but she has to know when to go and when to put the brakes on and make a pass. She’s a north-south player. She has to improve her game, to see the game on the east and west side of the fl oor.”

Taylor Works, a 5-10 junior wing, aver-aged six points a game while May’s daugh-ter, junior guard Kayla May, averaged three points.

“Taylor is hard on herself,” coach May said. “She has a nice jump shot, but she has to develop dribble skills and move her feet. She has another year to work on that. Kayla had some jitters at times, but she played really good defense and made good deci-sions. She didn’t show people the level she could play at.”

Coach May said the Indians could be even more competitive next year if they continue to work hard in the offseason.

“Next year depends on how we do in spring and summer,” he said. “They have to really get in the gym and work on their game as individuals and as a team. We’ll have a good mix of juniors and seniors, and they have to to jell together and work hard together and really get after it.”

Clay sends 7 wrestlers to state meetBy J. Patrick EakenPress Sports [email protected]

Three weeks after Clay, the No. 5 ranked team in Division I, reached the quarterfi nals of the fi rst annual state dual team tournament, seven wrestlers qualifi ed for the individual state meet in Columbus last weekend. Eagles qualifying were junior Jared Da-vis (32-11) at 113, sophomore Richie Screp-tock (48-4) at 120, senior Damon Dominique (31-7) at 152, junior Nick Stencel (41-10) at 160, senior Edward Silva (39-9) at 182, se-nior Jarred Gray (21-5) at 220, and junior Antonio Zapata (33-18) at 285. At the Cleveland State district meet, Screptock was Clay’s only champion. The Eagles fi nished third as a team in the 41-team district, scoring 173 points to follow champion Lakewood St. Edward (271) and Brecksville (224). The Eagles had lost to No. 4 Brecksville in the team state duals meet, 48-19, as only Screptock, freshman Matt Stencel, Gray, and Zapata won matches. Four Oak Harbor wrestlers continued their season at the D-II state tournament. The Rockets fi nished sixth overall in a fi eld of more than 40 teams at the district meet. Oak Harbor senior Luke Cramer (38-5) will be making his second appearance after fi nishing fourth at last year’s state tournament. He did it by defeating his fi rst two opponents by pins at the district meet, then taking down the defending state champ by a score of 5-0. In the fi nals, Cramer defeated his op-

Lawrence (31-11) punched his ticket to state. Lawrence made the fi nals after win-ning a close fi rst match in overtime then taking his next two matches with 3-1 and 5-0 scores. He ended up second at the dis-trict meet. Seniors Jared Chambers (30-9) and Alec Bowlick (34-10) took third at the dis-trict tournament to move on to state. Chambers (152) advanced to the semi-fi nals, dropped that match, but came back and to win the consolation fi nal. This will be his second trip to the state tournament. Bowlick dropped a close 3-2 decision to the eventual district champ, but battled back in consolation to also fi nish third in the 132-pound weight class.

A record 11 Genoa wrestlers competed in the 56-team D-III district tournament at Bowling Green State University, six placed, and four advanced to state. In 47 years Ge-noa has only qualifi ed four wrestlers twice before (1993 and 1998). Genoa set yet another mark in the books as a team by outdistancing Archbold for a third place fi nish. It was the school’s highest fi nish ever in any district wrestling tournament. Delta won, scoring 143 points, fol-lowed by Upper Sandusky (120½) and Ge-noa (105). Other area D-III schools fi nished as follows: Woodmore was 23rd, North-wood 36th, and fi nishing tied for 37th were Gibsonburg and Lake. Pinning down a second place fi nish at 220 pounds was Genoa sophomore Jay Nino (57-4). Senior 145 pounder Drew Keenan (61-4) defeated Michael Bear of Elmwood in the fi nals to place third while

fellow senior Jake Fejes (152) and junior Cody Buckner (285) each placed fourth for the Comets. Fejes was 52-8 and Buckner 32-9 heading into the state meet. Junior Max Reeder (132), 55-9, earned fi fth place honors and qualifi ed as a state alternate by crushing his opponent in the fi nals, 14-0. Mike Snider (170) fi nished off a solid 47-win senior campaign by placing sixth. Woodmore junior Evan Ulinski (46-3) fi nished third at the BGSU D-III district and qualifi ed for state in 106 pounds. It is Ulinski’s third trip to Columbus. Four other Woodmore grapplers, soph-omore Thomas Schnitker, junior Tony Ro-zzi, and seniors Colten Datkun and Dylan Young qualifi ed for the district meet.

Young children seem to have the utmost trust in theirparents. For instance, they know that whenever they arenot feeling well, their parents are there to comfort themand do whatever is necessary to make them better. Aparent's love is special, and it seems that there is nothingthat they would not do for their children. As adults, weshould remember that all things of this world aretemporary and that there is nothing we can truly dependon or be absolutely sure of. A loved one passing away, orfinances being low, or a serious illness could turn ourworld upside down in an instant. However, we shouldtake heart; there is good news: we are God's children,

and His love for us is even greater than that of ourparents’. And although it takes enormous courage to putour complete trust in God, we must believe that He wantsonly what is good for us. What is required of us is to seeGod's work in everything we do, and develop perfect trustto accept the trials of his life The first step in increasingour trust in God is to thank Him daily for His manyblessings and to go to Him with our anxieties.

Trust in the

Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own

understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and

Feinstein Food Drive The Salvation Army of Northwest Ohio will host a food drive March 1 to April 30, in conjunction with the Fein-stein Foundation. The Salvation Army is asking for non-perishable foods that can be dis-tributed through their food pantry at their downtown offi ces, as well as monetary donations. Each year since 1996, the Fein-stein Foundation, started by Alan Shawn Feinstein, encourages non-profi ts and churches across the coun-try to host food drives in an attempt to end hunger in the United States. Each non-profi t and church reports the total of food and monetary donations, then will receive a portion of the million dollars. The more food and monetary donations each group brings in will increase the amount of the donation money from the Feinstein Foundation. Food will be collected at various sites across the Toledo area, but The Salvation Army is looking for more groups or organizations that would like collection boxes at their sites. To schedule a collection box to be set up at your site, call The Salvation Army at 419-241-1138. Currently, food items can be dropped off at The Salvation Army, 620 N. Erie St. Toledo, Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. 4p.m.

An ad should be flexible...

Like your business.

Not chiseled in stone like

a stagnant yellow page ad.

So if you’re choosing between The Press Expert

Section and the yellow pages, consider this...

You can frequently change the size and copy of

your ad in The Press to advertise seasonal offers,

special prices, new products & new services.

Each lively issue of The Press is full of news,

information and features from 14 towns and their

surrounding areas in Lucas, Ottawa, Sandusky

and Wood Counties. More than 475 businesses

and individuals use The Press each week to sell

goods and services.

With cell phones, caller i.d., internet directories,

search engines and competing phone books there

is less reason to go to a phone book with your ad in

it. On the other hand, you have The Press in your

hands just like your potential customers living or

working in 33,892 homes and businesses in your

market area. For less than $21 a week, you can

reach them in The Press Expert Section.

Your Services Change

Your Prices Change

Why Does Your Yellow

Page Ad Stay The Same?
