The Kansas City-based Midwest Innocence Project is considering the case of convicted child molester Danny Wyatt Newton.

A former Air Force sergeant, Airman Basic Newton, an East Toledo native and 1995 Waite High School graduate, is cur-rently serving a 25-year sentence at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. He and his family in-sist on his innocence and blame the military justice system for making errors leading to his conviction.

AB Newton was found guilty by a jury of enlisted military personnel of attempted sodomy upon a child under 12 years of age, conspiracy to obstruct justice, indecent lib-erties, and sodomy upon a child under 12 years of age during a general court martial proceeding convened at Scott Air Force Base, Illinois, on December 21, 2010. The victim was his then-eight-year-old step-daughter.

In addition to his prison sentence, Newton received a dishonorable discharge, forfeiture of all pay and allowances and re-

duction in rank to E-1. Newton has main-tained his innocence since the ordeal began in 2008.

In August after his military appeals were exhausted, Newton fi led a writ to have his pleadings heard in the U.S. Supreme Court, but the court declined to distribute the case to conference. The writ referred to constitutional issues relating to how the military court and military police handled evidence and other issues.

The next recourse seemed to be taking the case to the innocence project network.

“We’ve been looking into the innocence project for some time, but the issue was he had to complete his appeals before they would even consider it,” said Virginia Beach (Va.) Master Police Offi cer Allen Perry, who is helping Newton with legal research. “Once that was done, it was a three to six month wait for them to review the initial application because they review thousands of these things. Just the fact that they have reviewed it and accepted it is a huge boon to us.”

The Midwest Innocence Project is a not-for-profi t corporation dedicated to the investigation, litigation and exoneration of wrongfully convicted men and women in a fi ve-state region. The MIP was founded a de-cade ago through the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Law and is part of the National Innocence Network.

The MIP claims recent independent studies conservatively estimate that be-tween two and fi ve percent of all inmates in America were falsely convicted, with some estimates reaching up to seven percent.

The MIP adds that after a conviction, it takes roughly seven to ten years for an in-

The Oregon school board plans to ask voters in the fall to pass a 3.95-mill levy to fund school operations. The levy is less than the 5.9 mill levies that voters have previously defeated, most recently in the General Election last November. “We are in need of a levy,” Super-intendent Dr. Lonny Rivera said at a recent school board meeting. “This district, over eight years ago, started with a 5.9 trajectory – it failed. A few years later, another 5.9 at-tempt – it failed. And then, just this past November, a 5.9 – and it failed.” He noted that the vote counts in the previous elec-tions were not even close. “The failures were not close. They were very large,” he said. “Truth be told, and I want this to be very clear, we need a 5.9 levy. But our community seems to be telling us that a 5.9 is not happening.” Rivera said voters may fi nd a smaller levy amount more palatable to support. “The idea of a 3.95 was something that we looked into. It’s not a cure-all for our district. We have some other things that are looming on the horizon that we’re hoping for that will help us maintain what we’re doing for kids. We have some industry that’s moving in that we’re very excited about that will start generating tax monies in 2017. We’re hoping that that will help. And we’re hoping that other spinoffs will come and help supplement what it is that we need to function,” he said. “Some people will say, `You must not need money. You’re dropping from a 5.9 to a 3.95,” he added. “I can tell you with all honesty, in all sincerity, we do need a 5.9, but I have to have something to run the dis-trict. We’ve made some cuts through attri-tion. There’s programs that no longer exist. We started this trajectory way back eight years ago, by removing things that we can live without, so we’re doing a slow bleed.” If there is another levy defeat in the district, more cuts are on the way, he said. “The things I have to look at to recom-mend to the board are things I hold very sacred and very dear to my heart. If we fail in November, then there’s going to have to

nocent person to be exonerated, and the pro-cess is typically expensive. Perry said the non-profi t group will take over all the legal work on Newton’s behalf. The MIP would not confi rm it is con-sidering Newton’s case during a telephone call, but Perry provided The Press written confi rmation via email.

Three-year wait loomsPerry says Newton will have to sit

in prison at least three years before the MIP takes any defi nite action on the case. Meanwhile, Newton and those helping are following up by preparing a more detailed report about the alleged errors that took place during the investigation and trial. “This case is just full of errors — mas-sive errors,” Perry said. “They are just glar-ing and disgusting. I mean, I’m a member of the American criminal justice system, and I’m ashamed of this case. “That’s really hard for me to accept because it’s one of my friends who I know didn’t do this. I know that the lack of quality of the investigation in this case makes me sick. I know that if I had done the same qual-ity of work with the agency that I work with, I would have been brought up on charges — either internal or criminal. That’s my opin-ion.” Perry, who is with the Virginia Beach Police Department crime prevention unit and is the Project Lifesaver coordinator there, says the allegations were originally made in Virginia and believes that is where the jurisdiction should be, not Illinois. “Unfortunately, he can’t sue the mili-tary because he’s a military member, but I believe he’s got a heck of a good case against Child and Family Services in the state of Illinois,” Perry said. “We (he and his wife) were caregivers for (the child) at different times when we didn’t have kids. I’m trained to see child abuse. This isn’t some foreign world — I’ve investigated these same kinds of cases on the street, and the only interview I got was a quick phone call from a Child and Family Services person who asked me my name, address, and how I knew Danny and Sherry, and as soon as she realized that I could give her evidence against the allegations, she ended the phone conversation,” Newton claims. “None of her teachers here were con-tacted to see if any changes were happen-ing in her school work or grades, and they contacted none of her other caregivers, like my in-laws, who lived less than a mile away from where Sherry and Danny lived and they baby-sat (the child) at different times. And, my mother-in-law is a teacher at an elementary school, and she was never con-tacted, even though Sherry and Danny gave them this information. Any information that didn’t meet their criteria for fi nding him guilty, they never bothered with.

“My father-in-law, who was a Major in the army, knew about this when it was go-ing on, and he made a comment about how screwed up the military legal system is.”

Perry alleges the military police vio-lated Newton’s constitutional rights. He said he saw military police get away with pro-cedures that he could never get away as a policeman in a civil setting, such as an al-leged illegal strip search by military police of Newton’s wife, Sherry, before she entered the courtroom.

“I could never in a million years get away with that, and neither can they,” Perry said. “You can’t just go sue them (military police) because they violated your constitu-

tional rights, and it’s not because you joined the military and don’t have constitutional rights. That’s not the case. You don’t burn the constitution when you join the military.”

It began in 2008 when Newton’s step-daughter began telling extended family members that her stepfather was asking her to commit sexual acts. A conversation be-tween the daughter and AB’s Newton’s wife was recorded and found on a computer dur-ing a search.

Newton said during one of two poly-graph examinations, which he passed, that on April 9, 2008, he attempted to call his stepdaughter, who was staying with her maternal grandmother in New York State

during a time he had just returned from a temporary duty assignment in Wichita Falls, Texas.

After receiving no answer, he attempted to call his wife Sherry, an Air Force staff ser-geant stationed at Camp Victory in Baghdad, Iraq. It was during that phone conversation with Sherry, who was crying, that she told Danny his stepdaughter was accusing him of illicit behavior while the family was togeth-er in Virginia. Prosecutors say the incidents continued from August 2005 to April 2008.

On September 30, 2008, AB Newton was approached by the Air Force Offi ce of Special Investigations while at Fort Meade, Maryland. He was given a Miranda warning and was advised that criminal charges were being fi led under Article 120 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice for indecent acts with a minor. Among letters of clemency written to an appeals court are eight written by family, including his wife, and 32 additional letters written by friends and associates. The major-ity are military personnel. Danny and Sherry met in 1997 and mar-ried in 2001, and her daughter was 4-years-old at the time. Danny, who joined the Air Force in 2002, specialized as a communica-tions radio operator until his arrest.

Road PlanPublic comment sought Draft transportation plan unveiledBy Larry LimpfNews [email protected]

To see where your tax dollars allo-cated for roads and related projects are going to be spent in the next 30 years or so, you can attend meetings organized by the Toledo Metropolitan Area Council of Governments. TMACOG is seeking public input on its draft 2015-2045 Transportation Plan for the region, which includes Williams, Defi ance, Paulding, Fulton, Henry, Lucas, Wood, Hancock, Ottawa, Sandusky, Seneca and Erie counties in Ohio and Hillsdale, Lenawee and Monroe counties in Michigan. The next meetings are scheduled for March 10 at the Way Library, 101 E. Indiana, Perrysburg, and March 12 at the Wood County offi ce building, One Courthouse Square, Bowling Green. The meetings are scheduled from 6:30-8 p.m. A daytime meeting is scheduled for March 13 at the Main Library, 325 Michigan St., Toledo, from noon to 1 p.m. TMACOG planners have compiled a list of what they call priority projects that would be implemented during the next 30 years if funding is available. Based on past funding levels, they believe there will be suffi cient revenues – primarily state and federal funds – for all of the proposed proj-ects. A project to improve access and pe-destrian safety on Navarre Avenue between White Street and Lallendorf Road is second on the list. The estimated cost is $10 mil-lion and construction is projected to occur between 2021 and 2025, A completion of the Oregon bike net-work ranks 44th and has an estimated cost of $1.7 million. It could start as early as 2016. Another project in Oregon and Toledo would construct a path connecting an ex-isting walkway near the Craig Street Bridge along Seaman Road to a trail in Oregon. It ranks 48th and has an estimated cost of about $600,000. Improvements to Tracy Road between State Route 795 and Walbridge Road to ac-commodate heavier trucks as well as add sidewalks rank 54th are on the list. The esti-mated cost is $2 million. Ranking 55th is a proposed project to improve the Tracy Road/Wales Road inter-section to better accommodate truck traffi c with a wider turning radius and traffi c sig-nal. The estimated cost is $1.2 million. In all, there are 154 projects on the list. transit and bikeways.

By Press Staff Writer Without hiring another paramedic, the Lake Township Fire Department will have, in effect, another set of hands to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation during medical emergency runs. The township has acquired a LUCAS (Lund Hospital Cardiac Arrest System) CPR device that will be kept in the Medic 50 ve-hicle, Bruce Moritz, fi re chief, said. Demonstrations of the device and a new Lifepak monitor/defi brillator were held Tuesday at the township administra-tion building following the regular meeting of the township trustees. Ray Lee, a battalion chief with the fi re department, said the LUCAS unit “frees up our people to do other things, It gives good quality CPR. We wear out. This thing doesn’t.”

New EMS equipment demonstrated He said that CPR protocol recommends that persons performing hand compres-sions on a victim’s chest switch every two minutes to keep compressions constant. That isn’t always possible in an ambulance racing to a hospital. EMS units in Lucas County have re-ported a signifi cant increase in survival rates among victims en route to a hospital while using the device, Lee added. New Lifepak units will be kept at the fi re department’s stations in Walbridge and Millbury. Chief Moritz said in addition to de-fi brillating a patient, the unit can monitor heat beats and blood pressure and record carbon dioxide levels in a victim. Electrocardiogram results can be trans-mitted to emergency rooms at St. Vincent Mercy Medical Center, Toledo Hospital, and the University of Toledo Medical Center.

Oregon levy

be some cuts in how we do business. From the last failure, there are over $500,000 in cuts. And we’re making those adjustments in-house to try to not affect our kids and the experiences they have in our district. But after November, if it doesn’t happen, there’s going to be issues of what we’re going to have to do without. And I have to preserve what happens in the educational environ-ment fi rst.” Those cuts would be in the extracur-ricular realm, he said. “It’s not a threat. It’s just something that – if we run out of money, in good con-scious, I can’t allow those things to con-tinue while I do not educate the kids who need a future, who have to fi nd a job, who have to have employment. Those things have to be fi rst and foremost. We’ve lis-tened to our community, we’re not going to try and do another 5.9. We’re going to try and get by with what we can. We’re hoping we get three years out of it. There’s other districts that do this approach – where they do smaller amounts – which is more palat-able to the community. Rivera said the district is doing “great things,” which would be compromised with another levy defeat. “I don’t want those things to stop. At least a 3.95 levy will buy us some time, and with the industry moving in, it may make our situation a little better,” he said. Board Member Dan Saevig agreed. “No one wants to add more taxes if it can possibly be avoided. But when you look at the fi nancial scenarios that are out there, this is a temporary extension for this school district. This is an issue that’s more

than just about our schools. This is an is-sue about the quality of life in our commu-nity. This is the most important thing fac-ing the city of Oregon – the strength of our schools. We need the support of our com-munity so we can ensure a quality educa-tion and quality experience for all of our students. Gov. John Kasich’s two year budget

proposal includes a school funding for-mula that would signifi cantly increase funding to many school districts, including the Oregon City Schools District. However, some of the increase would be offset by the loss in state reimbursements to schools for the phase out of the tangible personal property tax. “Everyone is aware the governor’s

budget did come in,” said Treasurer Jane Fruth. “However, there will be several more changes to the budget before it’s fi nal-ized. At this time, there wasn’t anything signifi cant beyond what we already esti-mated in our fi ve-year forecast, so it really hasn’t changed our fi nancial situation at this time.”

budget did come in.

CommissionOKs Brown Road permit By Kelly J. KaczalaPress News [email protected]

The Oregon Planning Commission recommended approval for a Special Use permit on property that will be used as a storage facility for wood and work trailers. The property, 5435 Brown Road, is the location of the now closed Schroeder and Younker Lumber Co. & Millwork. A.A. Boos is planning to buy the property. Sondra Boos applied for a Special Use in an R-1 Low Density Residential District. The matter was referred to Oregon City Council for the March 23 council meeting. Scott Hayes, who represented A.A. Boos at the Planning Commission meeting, said the property would not be a contractor’s yard, which will re-main at the company’s primary loca-tion on Pickle Road. A.A. Boos plans to tear down dilapidated structures on the property and build a new 9,600 square foot pole building for a small woodworking shop, which the com-pany would like to relocate from its Pickle Road location. The property, which still contains remnants of lumber, is in need of im-provements,” Mayor Mike Seferian said to The Press. Costs to clean up the site would be considerable, he added. A.A. Boos is doing the community a favor by getting rid of an eyesore. “The property is unsightly, and A.A. Boos wants to tear down the buildings, clean up the property, and put a new building up,” said Seferian, who is on the Planning Commission. “You can’t go wrong with that.” Seferian said the property is in a thickly wooded area that is not visible from the street. Approximately six work trailers would be stored outside. There would be no sales on the property, which would take place out of their Pickle Road offi ce. Up to three trucks per day might visit the site, with few deliver-ies. It would operate from 7 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. daily, rarely on the weekends. About four trees will be removed, though every effort will be made to keep as many trees as possible. It will take about a year to construct the facility. Most of the adjoining properties are zoned R-1 Residential and A-1 Agricultural. Buffering would be re-quired along those properties next to the site once the building is constructed, according to James Gilmore, Oregon’s building and zoning commissioner. Rick Orovitz, a member of the Planning Commission, asked Hayes if there would be any bulk storage of other construction materials on the property. Hayes said there would only be work trailers, wood and the wood-working shop. There was opposition to the ap-plication. A petition with 55 signa-tures was submitted to the Planning Commission. Some had concerns about the possible increase in traf-fi c, and drainage problems. Pamela Beavers, Pickle Road, expressed con-cerns about drainage and if the proper-ty use complies with the city’s Master Plan. Seferian said the Master Plan of-fers guidelines for land use. Public Service Director Paul Roman said drainage and all utilities will be reviewed once a complete site plan is submitted for approval. Gilmore said “anyone could go in and use the property as is.” “The reason we are here is be-cause the applicant wants to upgrade and improve the property,” he said. The Planning Commission recom-mended approval with stipulations: • No commercial sales; • Size of building limited to 10,000 square feet; • No outside storage other than wood, or anything directly related with mill work, and a maximum of six trailers; • If the property is sold after pur-chased by A.A. Boos, upon the sale of cessation of operations for a period of two years, the property will lose its Special Use permit status and revert back to R-1 zoning.

Oregon’s new senior center on Navarre Avenue is expected to open next month, ac-cording to city offi cials. “They are working to upgrade the building right now,” Mayor Mike Seferian said last week. “When it’s done, it’s going to look neat.” The city last year bought a 13,500-square-foot building at 4350 Navarre Avenue for a centrally located senior center. A small sec-tion of the building is being leased by an in-surance company. Although the building is in good shape, some upgrades were needed, including improvements to the kitchen so that meals can be served to seniors. “There’s a kitchen there, but it’s more like an offi ce staff break-room,” explained City Administrator Mike Beazley. “We’re going to be upgrading that a little bit so we can meet some of the food service needs of the senior center. The work in the kitchen is going to be completed after we’re opened. We don’t want to delay the opening.” Upgrades to the facility that will be completed this month include changes to comply with the fi re code, new fl ooring to meet the needs of a senior center rather than an offi ce facility, and the movement of some non-load bearing walls to bring more natural light into the rooms. “They had more individual small offi ces than what they needed in that corridor,” said Beazley. “Those are the things being worked on now, with an expectation that they can get this done in March. The group can get pre-pared to move when the weather is nicer in April,” said Beazley.

New Oregon senior center plans April opening The current senior center on Bay Shore Road has long been considered outdat-ed and too small for seniors’ needs. The James “Wes” Hancock Senior Center, a for-mer pumping station owned by the city, is cramped with only 2,800 square feet, which limits the availability of certain programs. Seferian said the city has not yet decided what to do with the building once the new facility is opened. “It’s an old building,” he said. Future use would require renovation, which would be costly. “It’s not realistic to put a lot of money into that,” he said. Beazley agreed. “It’s not in excellent condition. We want to look at a range of ideas that are the best options for the community,” he said. There has been some discussion with-in the administration and on council about the development of a lakefront access plan in that area, said Beazley. “We are looking at some ways to better connect our community with the lakefront, and our space in the South Shore Park area is part of that. During the course of this year, we’ll begin the process of looking at the range of options that are available to us. We have some opportunities, we think, to make it easier for our residents to con-nect to the lake. We’re going to get some community input. Between now and 2016, we’re going to make some decisions and see if there are some ways to achieve some of these objectives in practical ways,” said Beazley. Revenue from a 0.5-mill fi ve-year se-nior levy, which generates $210,000 to the city annually, will fund expanded services at the center.

A senior advisory committee met reg-ularly last year to discuss the best options for distributing the levy funds. The city ap-proved a senior service plan that includes enhanced transportation services, some chore services, outreach services, and typ-ical senior center activities that focus on socialization. The plans will likely change over time to meet the needs of seniors. “Until we get into the new space, we’re not going to know what there is a demand for. The goal is to make sure the plans are fl exible enough to change with the expec-tations and needs of the community,” said Beazley. The city will continue to lease part of the new senior facility to the insurance company. Approximately 6,500 square feet will be devoted for senior activities.

The Robotics Club at Cardinal Stritch Catholic High School competed in the re-gional meet in Fargo, ND, the weekend of Dec. 6. The team’s robot fi nished 27th over-all in the competition that included teams from various parts of the United States.

The team qualifi ed by fi nishing sec-ond in the BEST (Boosting, Science, Engineering, and Technology) competi-tion at Bowling Green State University on Saturday, Nov. 8. The group competed against 12 other high school teams through-out the region.

“This was a great accomplishment for our students,” said Eric Siej a, a science teacher at Stritch who was the team’s advi-sor. “There were a lot of obstacles for them to overcome and they were able to do so in a short amount of time and under the stress of a lot of pressure.”

To qualify, students had to design a robot that could pick up and move parts, as well as help build a windmill. In addi-tion to designing and building a working robot that completes these specifi c tasks, students were also tasked with creating a marketing plan and presentation for their work. They also were required to fully doc-ument all their activities and ideas related to the robot.

At the competition in Fargo, students were given the same tasks, but faced much

tougher competition and teams that have been competing for much longer than two years.

“Everyone was shocked when we told them this was only our second year of competing in the BEST Competition,” said Sieja. “Everyone kept saying, ‘This is only your second year and you made it here? Whoa.’ That really let us know that we are a lot further along than most teams in our position.”

The Robotics Club is part of the STEMM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math,

and Medicine) initiative at CSCHS. Any student, whether or not they are enrolled in a STEMM course, may join the Robotics Club.

Only 37 teams in the Midwest quali-fi ed for the competition and Stritch’s team accomplished the feat in just its second year.

“I’m so proud of our students,” said Sieja. “They came together as a team and made the necessary adjustments to ad-vance. This is a great group of kids who are incredibly committed to making this work.”

In addition to designing and building a working robot that completes a specifi c task, students were also tasked with creat-ing a marketing plan and presentation for their work.

They also were required to fully doc-ument all their activities and ideas related to the robot.

The Northern Plains Regional Final was sponsored by North Dakota State University.

The BEST organization is described on its website as “a non-profi t, volunteer-based organization whose mission is to inspire students to pursue careers in engineering, science, technology, and math through par-ticipation in a sports-like, science-and en-gineering-based robotics competition.”

nspirational essage of the eek: Staring at Monsters

The German philosopher, Nietzsche said that when

you look into the abyss, the abyss also looks into

you, and that when you stare at monsters, the

monsters stare back at you. By the abyss, Nietzsche

may have meant the emptiness and ultimate

meaninglessness of existence. And thus, what

Nietzsche seems to be saying is that anyone who

looks at life as devoid of meaning will have this

reflected back at them. A person who considers life

to be meaningless will likely reflect this in some kind

of existential despair. Likewise, we cannot look at or

expose ourselves to evil and be unaffected by it.

There is much to be said for believing that life is good

and worth living, and for living the kind of life that

makes it so. And although each of us may

occasionally have to jump over the abyss and

struggle with monsters, we shouldn’t look down

while jumping over the abyss, or become a monster

when we are fighting with monsters. Put on the whole

armor of God, that you may be able to stand against

the wiles of the devil. R.S.V. Ephesians 6:11

Tiger Ridge Exotics supporters say testimony from an Ohio Department of Agriculture worker has them fearing that the agency is not taking good care of the 11 animals it seized. Employing a search and seizure war-rant, ODA offi cials removed six tigers, a lion, black leopard, liger, bobcat, cougar and Kodiak bear from Tiger Ridge on a cold Wednesday afternoon in late January. The animals from the Stony Ridge ex-otic animal shelter remain at a holding fa-cility until appeals are heard from 71-year-old owner Kenny Hetrick and his Toledo attorney, Karen A. Novak. In Columbus, administrative hearings over the search and seizure fi nished last week and this week Hetrick begins his ap-peal to have his permitting for the exotic animals restored after it was previously denied by the state. Last week in Bowling Green Wood County Common Pleas Court, Judge Kelsey Reeves ruled against the Ohio Department of Agriculture’s fi ling request-ing the court to dismiss a lawsuit brought on by Hetrick. Last Monday, an ODA worker testi-fi ed that a cougar, Cindy, was bleeding when it arrived at the ODA facility in Reynoldsburg. The ODA acknowledged that the cougar had sore paws and they had put down rubber mats to help them heal, but ODA Communications Director Erica M. Hawkins said the worker exaggerated his testimony. The worker was dismissed by the ODA later in the week, but Tiger Ridge volun-teers praised his testimony on Facebook. “Good for this state employee for speaking up and doing the right thing,” stated a Facebook post attributed to April Green. “I can only hope others will, too. “This whole seizure was unnecessary and these animals need to be back safe, with their caretakers at Tiger Ridge. What happened with Cindy, the Cougar, is unac-ceptable. I hope the truth keeps coming out. The ODA can’t keep covering their asses forever. Please keep Tiger Ridge and their beloved big cats and bear in your thoughts and prayers. Truth has to prevail for the sake of these animals and their family.” A post attributed to Chris Tiefel stated, “I’m not saying the state didn’t overreact, make mistakes, or did things that amount to abuse in their attempt to circumvent the courts and keep the animals for as long as possible. “I’m saying that we should remain skeptical of things, even if they agree with our side, until there is evidence to back it up,” Tiefel’s post continued. “Especially from someone who was fi red coming for-ward with something so infl ammatory...” Hawkins admits that the ODA has nev-er seen so much support for an exotic ani-mal owner who has had his animals taken away. The supporters also posted two photos

showing two big cats in small enclosures with cages, allegedly taken by someone in-side the Reynoldsburg facility. The ODA’s policy is not allowing photographs of the animals inside its $3 million facility. “These two big cats were healthy, happy and well-cared for at Tiger Ridge Exotics,” posted the same April Green. “They lived in large outdoor enclosures, with dens, pools and enrichment. They had wonderful, loving caretakers, Kenny and his daughter Corrina,” the post continued. “Just from observing these photos, the tiger looks to have lost weight and could possibly be pacing ...his cage, a sign of stress. The lion, who’s 25 years old, is also showing signs of stress and perhaps even pain, the way he’s curled up with his face pressed against the cage. “This is not body language of healthy, content animals. These photos show be-havior and body language of animals under physiological and psychological stress. No matter how you feel about exotic animal ownership, you cannot tell me that this is in the best interest of the Tiger Ridge ani-mals.”

ODA says Cindy is healthy Dr. Dr. Melissa Simmerman, one of three veterinarians at the facility, assured The Press that the animals are doing fi ne, contrary to the worker’s testimony and posts on Facebook by Tiger Ridge support-ers. She said one way they can tell the ani-mals are content is that, unbeknownst to many people, large cats often purr just like domestic cats. “Some of them can’t purr and they make a unique sound that is specifi c to them. But, they all make noises that show that they are content,” Dr. Simmerman said. She said the veterinarians there are more than qualifi ed for their care, and they are receiving good care and diet. “Veterinarians are very diversifi ed. In our profession and our knowledge, we are basically equipped with all that we need while in vet school to be able to go out and essentially take care of any species of animals that is out there,” Dr. Simmerman said. “The diet we provide the animals is from a company that a lot of zoos get their diets from, so we make sure that we feed them a diet-specifi c to their species and their needs.” However, the animals are not able to go outdoors at the facility. “We have to keep in mind that our fa-cility is a temporary holding facility,” Dr. Simmerman said. “But, there are skylights built into the facility to allow natural light to come in and we also have all the light-ing factor in the facility on a 12-hour cycle to mimic what we call the natural diurnal cycle — which is basically a 12-hour day-night cycle.” “But we’re taking care of the animals daily, they are being looked at by a vet-erinarian daily, so we’re monitoring their health status to make sure that they are do-ing well back in the building.”

Voting questions To the editor: Would you want Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker to be our next president? His tax cuts have left the state with a $283 million defi cit and a projected defi cit of $2 billion by the end of the next fi scal year in July. Bloomberg News reported recently the state will delay $108 million in debt pay-ments due in May – a move that will in-crease the amount Wisconsin has to pay. Would you say this is good leadership? Would you want Jeb Bush to be our next president? His father and brother, George W., dragged this country through national traumas. In a recent speech, Jeb blamed our President Obama for the void that hatched ISIS, which he noted didn’t exist in 2003 at the dawn of the “liberation of Iraq.” Actually his brother’s invasion of Iraq spawned al-Qaeda in Iraq and started this trauma. Bush, Sr. thinks that Jeb will get elect-ed to correct and make up some of W’s mistakes. Bush W. knew nothing about for-eign affairs and his father surrounded him with his own advisers. On the day of Jeb’s speech, he released a list of 21 advisers, 19 of whom had worked in the adminis-trations of his father and brother. The list starts with James Baker. Then there was Paul Wolfowitz, a cheerleader of the Iraq in-vasion and the man who assured Congress that Iraqi oil would pay for the country’s reconstruction. Then there was Michael Hayden, who misled Congress about wire tapping and torture, and Michael Chertoff, then Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, who messed up the cleanup ef-forts following Hurricane Katrina. Jeb also praised Henry Kissinger, who advised pro-longing the Vietnam War, which the Nixon Administration thought might help win the 1972 election. Are you impressed with the advisers? Would you vote for Sen. Rob Portman? He was one of 31 Republican senators who opposed the “clean” Homeland Security Department funding bill because it did not address Republican objections to President Obama’s executive order on immigration. Portman didn’t care about protecting the U.S. from terrorism. Now here is a man who really loves his country? He would rather

not fully fund the department so he could get even with our president. Portman needs to uphold his oath of offi ce. He doesn’t work for Tom Zawistowski, executive di-rector of the Portage County Tea party, who was happy with Sen. Portman’s vote. The Republican party needs to start working for all the people. If they can’t do their job, we will vote them out of offi ce.Joann SchiavoneWalbridge

Editor’s note: According to Bob Lang, di-rector of the Wisconsin Legislative Fiscal Bureau, a recent bureau memorandum in-dicated a $283 million defi cit by June 30 of this year. However, the state has since been informed the Potawatomi tribe will be making a $50 million tribal casino gaming payment that it had withheld in 2013-14, reducing the projected defi cit to $233 mil-lion. The $2 billion projected defi cit fi gure is based on state revenue estimates for the next biennium ending June 30, 2017 and the full funding of all agency budget re-quests. If those requests aren’t fully funded but are kept near their current levels the bureau projects a defi cit in the $600-$800 million range. Schiavone was a volunteer with the Obama for America campaigns.

Don’t ignore stage 4 To the editor: Metavivor, a non-profi t organization for the research of metastatic breast cancer, has held an online campaign titled “Mets Monday” on March 2 to push for an increase in the percentage of fund-ing given to metastatic cancer research. The idea behind Mets Monday was to use social media to bring an awareness to the issue that an extremely deadly disease is signifi cantly underfunded, receiving only 2 percent of breast cancer research funding. Metastatic breast cancer is a type of cancer that spreads rapidly to other areas of the body. Primarily these areas are the lungs, bones and brain. Survival rates are terribly low, being that 97-99 percent of

patients with it will die. Metavivor reports that over 155,000 people worldwide are living with metastatic breast cancer. And with the given survival rates, only around 4,650 will survive. These percentages have remained unchanged since the 1980s. Unfortunately, the disease is not a rare one. Doctor Iman Mohammed, head on-cologist at University of Toledo Medical Center reports that around 30 percent of patients diagnosed with early stage breast cancer will end up with metastatic cancer down the road. This means that early detection of breast cancer cannot be counted as a cure. In fact, according to Dr. Mohammed, the high survival rates from early detection are manipulative, as they actually only mean an increased chance of survival for the next fi ve years. Metavivor puts 100 percent of dona-tions to metastatic breast cancer research, as research is the only way to fi nd a cure. Metavivor Research and Support Inc. states “We are tired of pink washing and aware-ness. We are tired of talk about ‘warriors’ and ‘winners.’ Metastatic breast cancer is 97-99 percent fatal. We don’t die for lack of fi ghting. We die because research for our disease receives only 2 percent of breast cancer research funds.” Because 30 percent of breast cancer patients will be diagnosed with metastatic cancer, Metavivor would like to see 30 per-cent of funding going toward researching the disease. With a disease so common and so deadly, 2 percent of funds simply isn’t enough to support the research needed to fi nd a cure.Amy BockeyWalbridge

A top priority To the editor: The public is not well informed regarding the costs associated with water and sewer rates. It is the respon-sibility of all municipalities that contract through the City of Toledo for water and/or sewer services to furnish their residents

with access to the rates compiled on the “Octopus Chart.” The chart displays total rates paid by all municipalities. Final cost consists of Toledo’s charge, county or district charge and your com-munity charge. Sewer rates add a very sig-nifi cant amount to our monthly water bill. We run many gallons per month onto our lawns, swimming pools, car washings and drinking water, etc. We pay sewer rates on all those gallons without benefi t of any re-duction in sewer rates. Most municipalities have an option to install a second water meter to avoid the sewer rate on water used via that meter. The second meter is expensive to install and has a monthly minimum charge when not used. Citizens would appreciate a de-termined portion of their water purchases to be exempt from the sewer charge with-out the costs of second meter. TMACOG (Toledo Metropolitan Area Council of Governments) has discussed the need to form a regional water authority to better manage facilities, water resources and the rates we pay. There is a percep-tion that Toledo opposes the creation of a regional water authority. The time has come for all of our may-ors and council members to make our re-gional water and sewer system a consis-tent, top priority. The public appreciates the recent governmental efforts put forth to address the toxic algae bloom. We would appreciate similar efforts in creating the re-gional water authority and addressing the informational issues listed above. Jim ReiterWhitehouse, O.

Dog park needed To the editor: I have visited many cities that have dog parks and now Toledo has a beautiful dog park. I would love for Oregon to have one too. Why do we need a dog park? The answer is simple – if you love dogs you know they need to run free and have fun too. At least mine do.Janice BillingsOregon

Too many people who actually set goals often fail to attain them. In this column, I will identify some of the predominant rea-sons this happens. Recognizing the pitfalls of goal achievement enables you to chart a successful course to realizing your dreams. You don’t believe it’s possible to attain your goal. If you don’t believe you can do it, you won’t. Your brain is programmed by your thoughts. When you instruct your mind that your goal is impossible, you will not reach it. You must fi rst believe you can and will achieve your goal before you can do so. You don’t believe you deserve your goal. Your mind subconsciously sabotages attaining anything you feel is not deserved. Any guilt about being successful causes this derailing. Fears of success include the possibility of being criticized, ostracized, or ridiculed by those who have not attained the same goal. You must believe you do deserve your goal before you can achieve it. You listen to naysayers. These nega-tive people always have a litany of reasons you can’t or won’t succeed. They share their opinions with conviction. Listening to them is discouraging, fi lling you with doubt. If you believe their drivel, you’ll abandon your goal. You have a goal that is not yours.

Unattained goals can stem from a variety of reasons

Setting a goal based on someone else’s ex-pectations sabotages success from the out-set. It’s impossible to be passionate about a goal you didn’t pick. Even if you do achieve a goal imposed by someone else, it brings little, if any satisfaction. Your goal must be your own. You have a goal with no perceived val-

ue. When this is case, there is no incentive for the goal’s accomplishment. It’s impos-sible to motivate yourself to work toward an objective with no benefi ts. This issue is often linked to a goal which is not yours. Pick a goal that has clear value to you. You don’t have a plan to accomplish your goal. A goal without a plan is just a wish. Hoping to reach a goal without a plan is pointless. You must have a step by step plan detailing what needs to be done to attain your goal. Each step must also be small enough to be manageable. You don’t take action. Without action, nothing happens. You can have a burning desire along with a detailed plan, but un-less you take action nothing will be accom-plished. Successfully reaching your goal requires consistently taking one step after another until you arrive at your destina-tion. You are not productive. Productivity is taking action which brings you closer to your goal. Activity is being busy without making forward progress or being involved in activities not goal related. Keep track of the progress made towards your goal. Eliminate unproductive activities. You give up. Setbacks are a normal part of reaching a goal. Failure is guar-anteed only when you give up. Get right

back up whenever you stumble and fall. Learn from mistakes. Make adjustments as needed. Determination and persistence is essential for success. You don’t apply enough effort. A half-hearted try isn’t effective. Anything worth-while takes effort. Without suffi cient effort, you will give up at the fi rst obstacle. Rather than trying to accomplish a goal, make a commitment to yourself that you will do whatever it takes to reach your destination. You tackle too many goals at once. Working on too many objectives simultane-ously dilutes your effectiveness. Although having many goals is good, you need to pri-oritize the order in which you will accom-plish them. Working on too much at once reduces your productivity. You can accomplish your goals. Avoid these pitfalls. Identify your goals, formu-late a plan, and then take action. Drive, dis-cipline, and determination are important keys to your success.

Dare to Live

by Bryan Golden

Circle of Grace almost broken at talk on Islamic terrorism


““If I am a moderate Muslim I am a target of radical Islamists, too.

The evening started out as a graceful conversation between a Muslim and close to a hundred Christians. It did not end that way. One man told the crowd he is afraid millions of radical Islamists want to come to America to behead us infi dels. He told the Muslim speaker he was not a true Muslim. Another young man started reading a six-page tract written by evangelical mis-sionary David Wood on the “true” evil intent of the Quran. He wouldn’t stop de-spite shouts to sit down. Reverend Bob Ball approached him face-to-face, pled with him to stop, and reminded him this was a “Circle of Grace” evening. He urged the man to join him in prayer. But, it was to no avail. The man ram-bled on. The event Wednesday evening at Rossford United Methodist Church was the second in a series of conversations about some of the most misunderstood groups in our country: Muslims, Hispanics and Afro-Americans. The talks are designed to be “graceful” conversations to examine how we can better understand and live in har-mony with those from different cultures, races or religious backgrounds. As you can see, graceful conversation is needed. We can’t go to war against 1.9 billion Muslims. We need ways to differen-tiate friend from foe. Dr. Sayed Amjad Hussain, a Pakistan native, author and past president of the Islamic Center of Greater Toledo, was the guest speaker and he attempted, in a grace-ful way, to provide insight into Islam. He talked about our common ground. “If I am a moderate Muslim I am a target of radical Islamists, too. We have something in common… We need to band

together against this menace,” he said. Dr. Hussain said the invasion of Iraq was not justifi ed. It was a mistake predi-cated on the false premise that Saddam had weapons of mass destruction. “However,” he added, “Even though we as a nation are war weary, unless America leads the way to stop and eliminate the Islamic State, it will proliferate and this is the time to go and face that menace.” Dr. Hussain said we need to understand the motivation of various radical Islamic groups and individuals. What drives ISIS is not the same motivation that drove the men who massacred 132 children in his hometown of Peshawar, Pakistan, and it is not the same motivation for the men who killed 12 at Charlie Hebdo, the Paris satiri-cal magazine.

The motivations are also different in Iraq and Syria. But all this violence is precipitated by Muslims, so it gets fi xed as “Islamic Terrorism” in the American conscience, Dr. Hussain said. Sometimes the violence has little to do with Islam and more to do with living conditions, power or self-determination. More than 60,000 Muslims in Pakistan have been killed by other Muslims, he said. The Charlie Hebdo attack was to avenge the prophet Mohammed who had been depicted unfavorably in a number of cartoons. Dr. Hussain said Muslims believe Mohammed to be a “near perfect” human and we need to understand ridicule of the prophet causes great pain to a Muslim. He likened the pain to that which Christians felt in 1987 when the artist Andres Serrano submerged the image of Christ on the cross in a glass of urine. Freedom of speech should not be sac-rosanct, he said. There are limitations for li-bel, slander, sedition, obscenity, incitement and hate speech. That said, Dr. Hussain is curious about the violent reaction to deni-grating the prophet Mohammed. He said Mohammed many times walked away from those who ridiculed him. “So I ask, if the man who is at the center of this discus-sion and controversy had the magnanimity to walk away when he was being insulted by his family, why don’t people walk away now and follow his example?” Muslims have had more than 1400 years of living peacefully with other cul-tures and religions and they have been as-similated in the melting pot of America. But, the perception of Muslims changed in 2001. Dr. Hussain told the story of a friend who, the day after the World Trade Center attacks, entered the neighborhood he had lived in for 35 to 40 years. His neighbor re-

treated when he saw him on the street and later told him he did so because he was fearful that all Muslims were fanatical. “Thirty-fi ve to forty years of living in the same neighborhood meant nothing, but that one broadcast on television meant ev-erything.” Can the image ever be repaired? Dr. Hussain is doubtful. He hears a fearful American public saying this about moderate Muslims, “If they’re not terror-ists, if they’re not fanatics, why don’t they speak up? And if they speak up, why don’t they speak up often enough? And if they speak up often enough why don’t they speak up loud enough?” Many Muslims are frustrated. All the leading Muslim organizations in the world condemn terrorism, but this message is not getting the same play in the media that gruesome acts of terror do. Stereotypes and hate dissipate with knowledge and communication. As the world gets smaller and more dangerous through technological advances, there is not a congregation in America that couldn’t benefi t from these Circles of Grace conver-sations. The rest of the schedule is: March 11: Rev. Lawrence Keeler on “Racism and Prejudice”; March 18: Lucy Mendoza, a Peru na-tive, on “The Hispanic Experience in America”; March 25: Rev. Larry Whatley on “The Black Experience in America”. All events are at Rossford United Methodist Church and start at 7 p.m. If you go, enter the double doors accessed from the parking lot at 270 Dixie Highway. Reservations are not needed.

11th Annual Stella Bertz Cheer For A Cure a success

Sober Living Home to become a reality in Ottawa CountyThe nonprofi t Light House Sober

Living Inc. has found a location and is moving forward with plans to provide the Ottawa County community with a safe and secure home offering hope, healing and life to men in recovery. The effort began three years ago when a group of community leaders and con-cerned citizens were brought together, led by Judge Bruce Winters. The group was formed under the Leadership Ottawa

County program, with the goal of creating the fi rst sober living community in the area. The nonprofi t organization, comprised of an executive board advisory committees (all unpaid positions) and two (paid) em-ployees, has purchased property located at 515 E. Fifth St. in Port Clinton, and plans are under way to open a Level 2 Recovery Residence later this spring. The house will be able to accommodate up to 10 male resi-dents in recovery.

Prior to the opening of the home, Light House will continue to fi nalize members of the board and hire employees. The board, along with the advisory committee, will develop agency policies and procedures, create budgetary guidelines, oversee com-mittees and vote on decisions pertaining to the operation of the agency. Funding for Light House Sober Living comes from two major sources — a match fund grant from the Ohio Department of

Mental Health and Addiction Services along with contributions from the Mental Health and Recovery Board of Erie and Ottawa Counties. The home will operate solely as a re-covery home and will partner with existing community agencies to offer resources and a holistic approach to life and recovery. To learn more about Light House Sober Living, to volunteer or to make a donation, contact Judy Flood at [email protected].

Maria Maluchnik founder of Cheer for a cure and her sister Valerie Widmer. (Submitted photo)

The 11th Annual Stella Bertz Cheer For A Cure was held at Genoa High School on Feb. 21. More than 90 squads from area schools as well as a school south of Columbus and one from near the Cleveland area attended the event. Cheer For A Cure is a yearly cheerlead-ing, dance troupe competition started by Maria Maluchnik to honor the memory of her mother, Stella Bertz, who had been the cheerleading coach at Genoa High School for over a decade. Each year Eva Dayringer, of Fremont, who is Maluchnik’s aunt makes a blanket to be presented to someone in the community dealing with cancer in their lives. The blan-ket is specially created with the recipient’s personality and interests taken into consid-eration. As each knot is tied on the blanket, Mrs. Dayringer prays for the person receiv-ing the blanket. This year’s recipient was 9-year-old Valorie Newton, of Walbridge, along with her mother, Diana was present to receive the blanket. The event continues to be an over-whelming success for many reasons, thanks to the dedication of the many volunteers who help each year. The day-long event raises money for cancer research and helps families deal-ing with cancer in their lives. This year’s event raised over $40,000. Learn more at CheerForACure.org.

Become an everyday hero The American Red Cross encourages eligible blood donors to become everyday heroes by giving blood in celebration of

Red Cross Month this March. Since 1943, every president has des-ignated March as Red Cross Month – a time to recognize those who support the Red Cross. Local communities depend on the Red Cross, which relies on donations of time, money and blood to fulfi ll its hu-manitarian mission. It doesn’t take a cape or superpowers to be a hero. By donating blood, eligible donors can help save the lives of patients in need. Those who are unable to give blood can support blood donations by or-ganizing a blood drive, volunteering to as-sist with Red Cross activities, or creating a SleevesUp virtual blood drive online at redcrossblood.org/SleevesUp and asking others to make a lifesaving donation. Upcoming blood donation opportuni-ties include: Oregon – March 20, 1-6 p.m., Heritage Church, 1640 South Coy Rd. Gibsonburg – March 21, 8:30-1:30 p.m., Zion Lutheran Church, 500 S. Brentwood. Curtice – March 31, 4:45-9 p.m., Jerusalem Elementary School, 535 South Yondota Rd. Oak Harbor – 12:30-5:30 p.m., Oak Harbor United Methodist Church, 360 E. Ottawa St. American Red Cross Toledo Blood Donation Center 3510 Executive Pkwy, Toledo, – Monday, 8 a.m.-4 p.m.; Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, 10:30 a.m.-6:30 p.m.; Friday, 7 a.m.-4 p.m.; Saturday, 7 a.m.-3 p.m. To make an appointment to give blood, download the Red Cross Blood Donor App, visit redcrossblood.org or call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767). A blood donor card or driver’s license or two other forms of identifi cation are re-quired at check-in. Individuals who are 17 years of age (16 with parental consent in some states), weigh at least 110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood. High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also have to meet certain height and weight requirements.

Currie named minority Amber Currie, MPH, CHES, has joined Susan G. Komen Northwest Ohio as Minority Breast Health Coordinator,

Currie previously served as a Health Education Volunteer for the Center for Health and Successful Living. She holds a Master’s in Public Health from the University of Michigan-Flint and a Bachelor of Science from Grand Valley State University. In her position, she will be responsible for the Mission for Minority Breast Health project, funded through a grant that Komen Northwest Ohio was awarded through a partnership with Walgreens. The project aims to improve breast health equity among African American and Hispanic/Latina women in Allen, Erie and Lucas counties. The project is community-based, aimed at building individual and community capac-ity through outreach, education, social sup-port, and advocacy. “I’m so honored and excited to be work-ing for Susan G. Komen Northwest Ohio,” Currie said. “I look forward to managing the project and working with the African American and Hispanic/Latina communi-ties to improve breast health outcomes in Lucas, Allen, and Erie counties.” For more information about Susan G. Komen, call 419-724-CURE or 1-877-604-CURE, or visit www.komennwohio.org.

Preventing overdose deaths State Rep. Steve Kraus (R-Sandusky) applauded the passage of a bill through the House of Representatives that takes further steps to curtail the opiate drug epidemic in Ohio. House Bill 4 expands access to nalox-one, a medication used to protect an indi-vidual experiencing an opioid-related drug overdose. Naloxone reverses the effects of opioids during an overdose, which can ef-fectively shut down a person’s respiratory system. “I’m happy to support H.B. 4, which gives fi rst responders another tool to save lives,” Kraus said. “The drug epidemic plaguing Ohio has taken many of our loved ones, and I think this bill is a step in the right direction in curbing the drug problem in our state.” As amended in committee, the legisla-tion also now requires the Ohio Department of Health to create a model protocol for nal-oxone and gives it permission to sell the medication wholesale to law enforcement offi cials. Health departments will also have the ability to issue naloxone protocols through their medical director or health commissioner. House Bill 4 passed with bipartisan support on the House fl oor and it will now head to the Senate for further consider-ation.

Question: I’m gathering everything I’ll need to fi le my taxes this month. Do I have to pay taxes on Social Security benefi ts? Also, where can I get a replacement 1099? Answer: Some people who get Social Security must pay federal income taxes on their benefi ts. Still, no one pays taxes on more than 85 percent of their Social Security benefi ts. You must pay taxes on some portion of your benefi ts if you fi le an individual federal tax return and your combined in-come exceeds $25,000. If you fi le a joint return, you must pay taxes if you and your spouse have combined income of more than $32,000. If you are married and fi le a separate return, you probably will have to pay taxes on your benefi ts. You can read more about tax preparation in relation to Social Security at www.socialsecurity.gov/planners/taxes.htm. Social Security ben-efi ts include monthly retirement, survivor, and disability benefi ts. They don’t include Supplemental Security Income (SSI) pay-ments, which are not taxable. You can also get a replacement 1099 or 1042S when you open your own personal “my Social Security account” at www.socialsecurity.gov/myaccount.

Question: I know I shouldn’t carry my Social Security card with me, and I always

Social Security answers commonly asked questionskeep it in a safe place. Somehow, I lost it. How do I get a replacement card? Answer: As long as you know your Social Security number, you probably don’t need a replacement. For most purposes, your number is your card. If you do need to get a replacement, you can do so for free. Although you can’t apply for a card online, you can learn what identifi cation docu-ments you’ll need, and you can fi ll out the replacement card application at www.so-cialsecurity.gov/ssnumber.

Question: I’ve been planning my retire-ment throughout my career, and I’m fi nally nearing the age when I can stop working. What is the earliest age I can start receiv-ing Social Security retirement benefi ts? Answer: You can receive Social Security retirement benefi ts as early as age 62. Keep in mind that if you retire at age 62, we’ll reduce your benefi ts by as much as 30 percent of what you’d get if you wait until your full retirement age. If you wait until your full retirement age (66 for people born between 1943 and 1954), you’ll get your full benefi t. You can also wait until age 70 to start your benefi ts. Then, we’ll increase your benefi t because you earned delayed retirement credits. When you’re ready to apply for retire-ment benefi ts, use our online retirement

application, the quickest, easiest, and most convenient way to apply. Visit www.so-cialsecurity.gov/retireonline.

Question: I want to make sure I have enough credits to receive Social Security retirement benefi ts when I need them. How can I get a record of my Social Security earnings? Answer: The best way for you to check whether you have earned enough credits (40 total, equaling 10 years of work) is to open a free “my Social Security account” at www.socialsecurity.gov/myaccount to review your Social Security Statement any time you want. Once you create an account, you can: • Keep track of your earnings to make sure your benefi t is calculated correctly. The amount of your payment is based on your lifetime earnings; • Get an estimate of your future ben-efi ts if you are still working; • Get a replacement 1099 or 1042S. • Get a letter with proof of your ben-efi ts if you currently receive them; and • Manage your benefi ts: • Change your address; and • Start or change your direct deposit.

Question: I’m applying for disabil-ity benefi ts, and I read about “substantial

gainful activity.” What is that? Answer: The term “substantial gain-ful activity,” or SGA, is used to describe a level of work activity and earnings. Work is “substantial” if it involves doing sig-nifi cant physical or mental activities or a combination of both.

It never fails – like clockwork, that ear-ache or pesky cough seem to fl are up just after dinner or on the weekend – when your family doctor is not available. For those times when you need to see a doctor but symptoms don’t warrant a trip to the emergency room, ProMedica has opened “AfterHours” at ProMedica Bay Park in Oregon. The medical offi ce opened Feb. 16 in Suite 100 in the Professional Offi ce Building, 2751 Bay Park Dr. Hours are weeknights from 6-11 p.m. at weekends from noon-7 p.m. Closed holidays.

AfterHours is staffed by certifi ed nurse practitioners who can di-agnose conditions, perform physical as-sessments and prescribe medication. It is designed to serve as an extension of care provided by a family doctor, offering same-day treatment for minor illnesses includ-ing: • Ear, nose and throat infections; • Cough or fever; • Typical headaches; • Allergies; • Mild asthma attacks; • Nausea, vomiting and diarrhea; • Bladder infections; • Rash or insect bites (without fever); • Pregnancy testing. Sports physicals and limited lab test-ing are also available. “Our aim is to be an extension of your family doctor when you need high-quality care for conditions such as fl u, rashes and infections during non-traditional business hours,” said Cindy Edwards-Tuttle, certi-fi ed nurse practitioner and vice president of advanced practice providers.

It seems highly unlikely, given where they are competing this weekend, but Clay’s wrestling team could have as many as 13 individuals competing at the state tourna-ment March 12-14 at the Schottenstein Center Columbus.

The Eagles advanced fi ve wrestlers last year and took fourth place at the Division I tournament. They took eight wrestlers in coach Ralph Cubberly’s fi rst year with the program (2010-11). This weekend, they competed in the meat grinder that is the D-I district tournament at Cleveland State University. Other participating teams in-clude state powers such as Lakewood St. Edward, Wadsworth, Elyria and Brunswick.

“This is a big one, a tough one,” Cubberly said. “It’s the toughest district in the state for Division I. All these kids are going to have obstacles to climb over. (Richie) Screptock, if things go right, will have to beat the kid he beat in the fi nals of the state meet last year, just to be a district champ.”

Screptock, a senior 138-pounder who won last year’s state title at 132, was one of nine individual champions for the Eagles at last week’s sectional tournament at Clay. He and his 12 teammates who advanced will have a lot of work to do in the practice room this week, Cubberly said.

“We will work on technique and mental preparation,” the coach said. “Things like fi nishing periods on top, scoring points at the end of periods, keeping pressure on kids and watching stalling calls. Those are things that win one-point matches, and there’s go-ing to be a lot of them from here on out.”

The Eagles claimed their eighth straight sectional crown a week ago, following their seventh straight conference title. Clay has never won a district title.

Cubberly said he envisioned the Eagles garnering 9-10 individual sectional crowns last week.

“We got the guys I thought would be champs,” he said.

In addition to Screptock, the Eagles who advanced to districts after win-ning sectional titles are sophomore Nick Henneman at 113 pounds, freshman Garret Anderson (120), junior Calixtro Mondragon (132), junior Lorenzo LeVally (152), senior Andy Howard (160), junior Matt Stencel (195), senior Tyler Koester (220) and fresh-man Nick Daly (285).

The other four Clay wrestlers who ad-vanced are seniors Kevin Witt (182) and Mike Ummel (145), junior Hunter McNutt (170) and freshman Mason Jaquillard (106).

Cubberly said Screptock (35-4) is wres-tling better than at any time in his career. Screptock recorded three pins at the sec-tional tournament.

Along tourney trail, mental preparation key for Eagles

“He’s just dominant,” Cubberly said. “He understands position like no other.”

Henneman (34-9), who was a No. 1 seed at sectionals, is peaking at the right time, according to Cubberly.

“He’s looking really good, really tough,” Cubberly said. “He’s a real physical wrestler. All three of his brothers wrestled at Clay and never went to state. Nick wants to be the fi rst one to do it.”

Anderson has compiled a 33-10 record as a freshman, while Mondragon is 34-10.

“Garret never gets out of position and is just a solid, hard-nosed wrestler,” Cubberly said. “He’s a surprise for us. I knew he was good, but I didn’t know he was as good as he is. Calixtro is very, fast. He has fast-twitch muscles and is super quick and hard to defend.”

Mondragon and LeVally, who both wrestled for the Eagles’ Green team last year, are taking advantage of their positions on the Gold team this season. LeVally (30-12) won the TRAC tournament as a No. 3 seed.

“Lorenzo and Calixtro are just solid, hard-nosed wrestlers,” Cubberly said. “(LeVally) beat the No. 1 seed in the (sec-tional) fi nals, a kid from Waite who was

“His strength is his experience...He

quickness.

42-8.”Cubberly warned not to be fooled by

Howard’s 27-15 record.“He’s been a wrestler since he was in

like second grade,” Cubberly said. “He has a lot of losses, but he’s wrestled some pretty stiff competition throughout the season. He was second in the TRAC and was a sec-tional champion last year at 160. He’s been there before. Hopefully he can take the next step to state this year.”

Stencel (37-1) hasn’t lost since Clay’s second tournament of the season, at the Ironman Invitational, and that was by just one point. Stencel, a state runner-up at 182 last year, had three pins including one fall in eight seconds at sectionals.

“He’s on fi re,” Cubberly said. “He’s wrestling really well.”

Koester (23-8) defended the sectional title he won last year, when he was one vic-tory away from advancing to the state tour-nament.

“He’s wrestling real well,” Cubberly said. “He had a pretty good kid in the (sec-tional) fi nals and wrestled well and beat the kid. He’s just solid and hard to score on, and he’s big and strong.”

Daly (27-4), the freshman heavyweight, used the second-place fi nish he earned at the TRAC tournament to propel him to a sectional title. The somewhat undersized Daly weighed 243 pounds at sectionals.

“He’s defi nitely a surprise,” Cubberly said. “His strength is his experience. He’s a freshman, but he’s been wresting since the fi rst grade. He wrestles like a smaller kid. He overwhelms kids with his speed and quickness.”

Jacob “Jake” Henderson, an NCAA Division I wrestler at Old Dominion, is making noise at the national level in the 285 pound weight class. Henderson holds a 20-10 overall re-cord, a 6-5 mark in dual action, and the redshirt senior a 70-49 career mark. He is ranked fi rst on the team with 14 deci-sions, claimed third place at the Johnathan Kaloust Bearcat Open, second at the Wolfpack Open and eighth at the Midlands Championships. He was the No. 4 seed at the Mid-American Conference tournament held over the weekend at the University of Missouri, bringing in a 5-1 conference dual mark. Henderson has already qualifi ed as one the MAC’s four wrestlers who will move on to the NCAA Division I championships be-cause of his No. 22 ranking nationally on the NCAA RPI ratings system and No. 29 ranking by the NCAA coaches panel. One of his most profi led wins this sea-son came when he took down No. 25 Jacob Aiken-Phillips (Cornell). He has four career wins over NCAA national qualifi ers. Henderson, who learned the sport un-der the tutelage of the East Toledo Wrestling Club as a youth, is now ranked 28th in the nation and continues to advance. Plus, he shines in the classroom, maintaining a 3.65 GPA while majoring in exercise science. ETWC assistant coach Hector Ramirez remembers Henderson as a biddy wrestler. Henderson started there at age seven while attending Garfi eld Elementary. “Jake was a bigger wrestler for his age,” Ramirez said. “A very mild-mannered and a very astute wrestler, even then, one could see the potential. He was very coachable and did what was asked of him. His size put him in the heavier weights, even as a young wrestler. He was taught and drilled to shoot, even if that was not considered the norm for bigger wrestlers. “His dad, Dave, would take him to all the wrestling tournaments the club went to. He either won many of them or placed in nearly every one of them, even on the na-tional level,” Ramirez continued.

Former local biddy wrestler an NCAA national qualifi er

In high school at Central Catholic un-der the tutelage of Coach Mitch Naufal, Henderson had success on and off the mat as well. He was a two-time state runner-up. Now a senior at Old Dominion, he’s re-peating the same success there as well. Henderson has wrestled at 220 pounds during most of his college career, but made room for another teammate by bumping up to 285, even though he weighs just 237 pounds. “In wrestling, anytime you give up weight and size, it usually goes against you,” Ramirez said. “For Jake, he has handled it in stride. Because he is usually lighter, by weight, he makes it up by being more muscular and faster on his feet.”

Ramirez, Naufal, and Coach Gary Burgess, who runs the ETWC out of the Clay High School wrestling room, traveled to Ypsilanti, Michigan when Old Dominion took on Eastern Michigan in a MAC dual match. Under Coach Steve Martin, 19th-ranked Old Dominion defeated Eastern, 25-13. Martin said Henderson, whose win clinched the dual victory, wrestled “smart.” Henderson won the 285-pound bout after notching one takedown and a three-point near-fall in the fi rst period. With riding time, Henderson took down Gage Hutchinson by a 6-1 decision to give the Monarchs a 20-13 lead with just the 125-pound match to go.

“The dual meet was pretty much in favor of Old Dominion when Jake stepped onto the mat,” Ramirez said. “He immedi-ately took a beautiful inside single and was awarded the takedown in the fi rst period. “He rode his opponent out. He took him down again in the second and then the opponent escaped. Jake leading 4-1, he was down in the third (period) and escaped. He was in on him and almost took him down again. Almost turning him, the match end-ed with Jake taking a solid 6-1 win. He did it with great shots from a bigger wrestler.” The Monarchs are just one of two MAC schools ranked in the top-20 in the coach-es poll, as Missouri (20-0) sits in second place. ODU is 12-4 in dual action overall and 5-1 in the MAC after defeating a peren-nial league power, Central Michigan, last week, 22-9. Henderson took down Adam Robinson by a 5-2 decision. “Henderson wrestled well on the top position, which is something we have been stressing with him all year long,” Martin said. “We are proud of the way our guys wrestled in a very hostile environment. We competed with a lot of energy, excitement and focus, which is what you have to do on day four of a road trip,” Martin continued. “It excites me as a coach to see our kids having fun. We have never beaten CMU at their place so we knew it would be a chal-lenge. All 10 of our guys were in positions to win each of their matches.” The Monarchs have taken down then No. 10 Edinboro, No. 21 Kent State, No. 22 Purdue, No. 23 Bucknell and No. 25 Chattanooga. ODU’s four losses have come to schools that are ranked in the NWCA top-20, as the Monarchs dropped matches to No. 2 Missouri, No. 9 Virginia Tech, No. 19 Wyoming and No. 25 NC State. Ramirez says Jake’s father told the ETWC coaches that Jake was “apprecia-tive” when he saw them in Ypsilanti. “He could hear our encouraging words and said he was not going to lose,” Ramirez said. “No matter what, that evening was special for us, too. What a great young man he has turned out to be — an accomplished wrestler and scholar. Not bad for an east sider with strong east side ties.”

Bowen, Henry named conference Player of the YearBy J. Patrick EakenPress Sports [email protected]

Two local senior guards, Connor Bowen (Lake) and Ramiah Henry (Waite) were named Player of the Year by their respective leagues. Bowen, the Northern Buckeye Conference POY, is joined on the fi rst team by Eastwood senior post Zach Jacoby, Genoa senior guard Luke Rightnowar and Lake senior guard Jared Rettig. Bowen averages 21 points, 7.4 assists, 5.1 steals and four rebounds, plus he is the all-time Lake career scoring leader with 1,445 points heading into the tournament. He also has over 600 assists and over 400 steals and holds nine school records. The Flyers shared the NBC title with Rossford. The Flyers and Bulldogs were both 13-1 in the league while Lake was 19-3 entering its sectional fi nal contest against Rogers Friday. Local second team selections are Woodmore senior guards Grant Weis and Drew Lewandowski, Eastwood senior guard Noah Smith and Lake junior guard Brandyn Neal. Honorable mention picks are Lake junior guard Jake Rettig, Genoa senior post Noah Goodrich, and Eastwood senior post Tim Hoodlebrink. Henry is Waite’s only player recognized on the Toledo City League fi rst team, but her teammates Alycia Matney and Letrecia Williams are honorable mention. Henry was selected as the conference’s top player even though Waite fi nished 1-20 overall and 1-9 in the conference. The 5-foot-7 Henry, a four-year varsity player, is also second team all-district. She averaged 19.2 points and 8.3 rebounds, shot 45 percent from two-point range and made 69 percent of her free throws. She also had 70 assists, six blocked shots and 86 steals. “Ramiah is a player who improved her game every year. She has done everything the coach has asked her to do without complaint. ‘Moose’ stays in the gym late and comes early to work on her and her teammates’ game,” Waite coach Manny May said. “Her focus is on improving every aspect of her game, as well as her teammates. I ask her to bring the ball down

the court and set up the offense. When we are struggling to score and rebound, she’s our go-to player. She is what makes Waite go. Ramiah can fl at out play. Ramiah is a leader on and off the court. She has a great attitude accompanied with great leadership qualities.” Decker, two divers place Oak Harbor diver Cooper Hicks fi nished ninth at the Division II state championships, scoring 372.6 points in the fi nals, scoring nine points for the Rockets. In the D-II girls diving championships, Oak Harbor’s McKenzie Pluto fi nished 17th and Waite diver Anna Campos was 18th in the D-I championships. Eastwood junior Alyssa Decker made it back to the consolation fi nals in both of her swimming events she qualifi ed for. She swam her personal best in the 200 IM and very close to her PR in 100 fl y. She fi nished 15th in the IM (58.73) and 14th in the fl y (2:12.3), but only two and a half seconds were spread between fi rst place and 16th place in the fl y. Decker scored a combined fi ve points with her fi nishes. Decker credits her coach, Carolyn Strunk, who has been teaching her the sport since she was 7-years-old, with instilling confi dence and training her to be ready for major events. At the district meet, Decker swam the 200 IM and the 100 fl y,

two grueling events, and was part of two Eastwood relay teams. “I trust in my coaches a lot in the aspect that physically they’ll get me ready and they’ll build up my endurance. Mentally, I have to refocus every time and tell myself that I’m not tired. This is it. I have to go after it, regardless. Back when I did USA Swimming and swam six events in one day, you’d be tired, but when you want something really bad, that’s what matters. “It’s not just physically, but mentally, too. They have taught me a lot on confi dence and that, it’s not all physical, it’s some mental.” Decker, who also plays volleyball and runs track, has been instrumental in helping to build the school’s swim program, which saw two relay teams and two other swimmers, Bethany Nabors and Natalie Reidling, advance to districts. “It was great seeing the girls at sectionals drop even more time at districts. It was almost shocking, but in a good way,” Decker said. “After that, I think the girls thought, ‘I can’t wait to come back next year.’ That’s what we as captains were hoping for. Nothing’s better than seeing them do well and want to come back next year.” (— Press contributing writer Yaneek Smith)

By J. Patrick EakenPress Sports [email protected]

If this year’s undefeated and state-ranked Gibsonburg boys’ basketball team wants to repeat what the 1952 Golden Bears did, they would have some lofty ex-pectations to fi ll. To this day, it is the school’s deepest run in the tournament, and it was one that few expected. Media called Gibsonburg a “one-man show” led by 6-foot-3, 170 pound senior center Charles McGuire. And one-man show the Golden Bears were, be-cause McGuire was one of the top scorers in the state. McGuire scored 29 points in leading the Golden Bears to a 44-41 victory over McComb before 6,200 fans in the Class B regional fi nal at the then-Toledo University Field House. At 24-3, Gibsonburg was heading to Columbus for the state tourna-ment under the guidance of Coach Robert E. Krotzer. Most of the starters are deceased, but Northwood resident Richard Posey was a 16-year-old junior forward on the team. He said he remembers the town going all out, with signs in windows and businesses clos-ing down for the regional and state tourna-ments. “Before we went, there was excite-ment,” Posey said. “They were really hyped up because we won a big game in Fremont to go to state. That was the biggest game, and then at state, we were just all fl at.” Gibsonburg residents Sam and Connie (Jurski) Gruner were at the state quarter-fi nal. Sam, a Gibsonburg grad, was in col-lege, and his wife was one of three cheer-leaders. Coach Krotzer was Connie’s uncle and starting guard Larry “Dutch” Arndt eventually married her cousin. “It was a blast,” Connie said. “We were scared to death — I mean, here are these country folks going to the big city and everything.” Gibsonburg’s small school state quarterfi nal against Nelsonville tipped off at 3 p.m. on a Thursday at the Ohio State University gymnasium with the winner advancing to the state semi-fi nals at the Columbus Fairgrounds Coliseum. A cap-acity crowd of 2,556 showed up at OSU for the quarterfi nal. Posey, who will turn 80-years-old on February 21, said McGuire, despite being smaller than other centers, could jump with any of them. Fremont News Messenger Sports Editor Al Coxon wrote “(McGuire) amazed the throng with his ‘suspension’ shot in sinking 14 goals. He fi red at the hoop 25 times. However, other Bears weren’t click-ing, although Larry (Dutch) Arndt turned in a stellar all-around performance.” Nelsonville used outside shooting and a fast break to take a 55-39 lead with 5:15 remaining. Gibsonburg superintend-ent A.N. Welter had given a motivation-al speech at halftime, and Gibsonburg fi nished on a 12-4 run, but it was too little, too late. The Athens County school won 59-51, gave Waynesburg (24-1) their fi rst loss of the season, 45-43, in the semifi nal, but the 23-4 Hounds fell in the champion-ship to Lockland Wayne (28-4), 56-46. For Gibsonburg to get to state, they had to defeat defending Class B state champ Grand Rapids, 57-56, in the district fi nal to advance to the regional. The win over the Pirates was the “big game” Posey refers to. Sportswriter Earl Snodgrass wrote that

Gibsonburg’s 1952 state qualifi ers set the bar high

“it was a see-saw battle all the way” that eventually was tied at the end of regula-tion, 54-54. It was estimated more than 1,900 attended the game at Fremont Ross. Coxon wrote that “McGuire’s leaping shot from the side” with 1:26 to play gave Gibsonburg a 54-52 lead, but the Pirates’ 6-7 center, Don Trumbull, who fi nished with 27 points, hit a lay-up with fi ve seconds re-maining to tie the game. In overtime, Trumbull and Russ Brown sank early free throws to put Grand Rapids up by two, but McGuire was awarded two free throws with 50 seconds remaining thanks to a deliberate foul whistled against the Pirates, making one. The Pirates tried to stall with a one-point lead, but McGuire intercepted a pass and was fouled with 41 seconds remaining, and his free throw tied the game at 56. In the fi nal minute, Arndt was fouled by Grand Rapids 6-5 forward Dick Heyman, and Arndt had the chance to make the win-ning free throw. “Arndt’s toss rattled the hoop as it set-tled between the iron braces and trickled down through the netting for a one-point lead for the Bears,” wrote Coxon. The

Pirates had time for one more possession, but failed to score. Arndt fi nished with 11 points and to this day the 1950-51 Grand Rapids team re-mains Wood County’s only boys’ basketball state champion.

Tough regular season Gibsonburg’s only losses that year were to Waite and Fremont St. Joseph during the regular season and Fostoria St. Wendelin in the fi nals of the Protest Tournament — which includes parochial and exempted village schools with the top two teams qualifying for the district. Coach Krotzer was quoted as saying a diffi cult regular season schedule prepared the Golden Bears well for the tournament. A key win was when Gibsonburg broke a 34-34 tie after three quarters, outscoring Coach Doyce “Frenchy” Filiere’s Troy-Luckey team, 14-7, over the fi nal eight min-utes as the Bears won on the Trojans’ fl oor, 48-41. McGuire scored 22. McGuire scored 29 as Gibsonburg de-feated the host Fliers, 62-40, to win the Clyde Invitational holiday tournament. He scored 13 of Gibsonburg’s 15 third quarter points as the Bears pulled away. In a 77-53 road rout over Sandusky St. Mary, McGuire scored 37, and McGuire totaled 32 in a 63-45 win over Old Fort. However, the Golden Bears had trouble with host Woodville in the home school’s fi nal game in an auditorium-gym built in 1921. Each team was whistled for 34 per-sonal fouls, and Gibsonburg made just 16 of 41 free throws and the Woodville Warriors made 20 of 38. That’s a total of 79 free throws shot in one game. The two teams ended regulation in a 62-62 tie, but Gibsonburg dominated over-time to take home a 76-64 victory.

The Bears won a Sandusky Bay Conference co-championship when they defeated Lakeside, 51-50, without the ser-vices of McGuire down the wire. He fouled out with 3:30 remaining in regulation, and the Stonecrushers rallied after trailing by 10 to tie the game, 48-48, at the close of regula-tion. Gibsonburg sophomore guard Richard Shreffl er scored the winning bucket. The Bears shared the league title with St. Joseph, both sporting a 6-1 league rec-ord. Joining McGuire on the All-SBC fi rst team was Genoa’s 6-4 senior Fred Diekman, Arndt was second team, and Gibsonburg 5-10 sophomore forward Curtis Bowser and 5-10 senior forward William Brown were honorable mention. A scrapbook gracious-ly provided by Brown’s family provides the information here and contains much more. Connie Gruner believes McGuire lives in the Detroit area today and 6-0 senior guard Roger Smith lives in Fremont. Posey said at a class reunion last year, 20 class-mates showed up, and at least one who at-tended has passed away since. At least seven players on Gibsonburg’s team are known to be deceased, including Shreffl er, Arndt, Brown, Curtis Bowser, 5-8 senior guard Arlen “Ernie” Spitnale, 5-6 senior forward Frank Cicanese and 5-10 sophomore guard Robert Bowser. Besides Connie Gruner, cheerleaders were Rita (Kirwen) Brown and the late Norma Hemminger.

Advanced Industrial Services, a com-mercial and industrial specialty contac-tor, has relocated from Northwood to 123 Oakdale Avenue in Toledo, according to Stacy Weber, public information offi cer for Paula Hicks-Hudson, mayor of the City of Toledo. The City of Toledo will provide the fi rm with $15,062 worth of incentives over a seven year term through its Toledo Expansion Incentives program. This pro-gram provides incentives to attract and grow businesses and create employment opportunities in the community. Advanced Industrial Services, a sub-sidiary of The Irex Contracting Group, a multinational contractor, provides exper-tise in thermal and acoustic insulation, specialized fabrication and sheet metal lag-ging of piping, ductwork, equipment and vessels. The fi rm also provides full service contracting in the areas of mechanical insu-lation, industrial and commercial coatings, asbestos and lead abatement, scaffolding, fi re stopping, noise control, and certifi ed energy assessments. The facility will be used as the com-pany’s regional headquarters for multi union craft personnel working on industri-al projects throughout Northwest Ohio and Southeastern Michigan. The company will invest $1.5 million into its new facility and become fully operational by June. “The City is honored to be part of this project. The east side of Toledo has histori-cally offered the community employment in the industrial sector, however over the past several decades there has been a pat-tern of disinvestment into this important part of our City. It is a strong sign for the economy of Toledo that these opportuni-ties are coming back again,” stated Mayor Hicks-Hudson.

Helping facilitate this relocation was Stephanie Kuhlman and Dallas Paul of Industrial Developers, LTD and Lynette Reichle of Reichle Klein. Industrial Developers is a development company lo-cated in Northwood with projects through-out the United States. The company part-nered with a group of local investors to purchase the Oakdale facility, which cre-ated the opportunity for the relocation of Advanced Industrial Services. At the clubs EPIC Toledo (Engaging People, Inspiring Change) will hold its “EPIC’s Emerald Birthday Bash” Friday, from 7 p.m. to 11p.m. at The Blarney Events Center and Huron Street Tent. Entertainment for the networking event will be provided by the local band Last Call Heroes. Tickets are $10. Attendees may register at www.epictoledo.com. The event is open to members, young professionals, the busi-ness community and anyone 21 years of age or older who believes in EPIC’s mission of connecting emerging leaders to each other and the community.

Sauder Village hosts work day Sauder Village is seeking people to make handcrafted items for the new Heritage Shop. A fun-fi lled workday has been planned Tuesday, March 10 to provide an opportunity to help make items for the shop and have fellowship with others who like to be creative. “Our Heritage Shop features hand-made exclusives made by friends of Sauder Village,” shared Kim Krieger, PR/Media Relations representative at Sauder Village. “This shop has been an excellent way for people to help sup-port the mission of our non-profi t or-ganization – either by donating a hand-crafted item or by making a purchase from the shop.” A variety of projects will be avail-able for people to help with March 10 from 1-4 p.m. in the Village Café. The workday will give knitters an oppor-tunity to make hats and headbands. Worsted weight yarn and a pattern will be available for people to use – just bring a size 8-17 inch circular needles and size 8 double pointed needles. Those who do not knit will also be able to participate in creative projects. All merchandise in the shop is handcrafted and donated. Donated items, which go through a juried selec-tion process, have included quilted, carved, painted, knitted, crocheted, hooked, woven, mixed media or fash-ioned in some other traditional method. Modern interpretations of traditional crafts are welcome and encouraged. To attend or donate an item, con-tact Debbi Russell at 800-590-9755 or email [email protected].
