The trustees Tuesday unanimously ap- proved a payment of $2,393 to the widow of Dan Sprinski, who died suddenly in May. The payment amount, however, drew criticism from Sprinski’s family and friends, who contended his widow is enti- tled to at least half of the 435.25 hours he’d accrued. Jeff Pettit, who chairs the board of trustees, said the payment reflects 25 per- cent of Sprinski’s accrued hours. That per- centage, he said, is set in the township’s contract with the police union and it’s been the practice of the trustees to treat union- ized and non-union employees equitably. Sprinski was among a group of non- police township employees who’ve agreed to be represented by the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 245 for collective bargaining but the union and township haven’t yet ratified a con- tract. The resolution approved Tuesday states Sprinski at the time of his death was entitled to 108.81 accrued sick time hours. Pettit noted he and trustee Melanie Bowen didn’t vote against a resolution pre- sented by Richard Welling during the trust- ees’ July 7 meeting that would have paid Sprinski’s widow for 240 hours of accrued sick time. Instead, he and Bowen said the township lacked a written policy for such payments and shouldn’t proceed without one. “This is not my money to pay out,” Pettit said, adding “It’s the residents’.” Bowen said many area communities have policies of crediting employees for 25 percent of their accrued sick time and Lake Township was “mirroring” the contract with the police union by doing the same with Sprinski.

We understand that.” “For those of you who say this was worse than it’s ever been, the answer is you’re right.

In June, up until that weekend, we had about six inches of rain. So we ended up with to- tally saturated ground. And the place we store much of our water is in our ground. When we have a rain event, it will suck up that rain event very well for us until it’s full. Then it’s like pouring on concrete. Beazley said the city received over six inches on June 27. “That’s a `once in every 200-year- Oregon Residents seek answers about flooding event.’ It’s the largest rainfall event we’ve ever had. There is no system or plan we can build that can deal with it. We do have some things we think can work. “I know a lot of people are frustrated,” said Public Service Director Paul Roman. The flooding, he said, is caused by “a combination of a northeast wind, the ground already saturated, and a lot of rain.” “You had six inches of rainfall fall within a 24-hour period. Twenty-four hours seems like a long time. But when ev- erything is already saturated, and nothing is draining out of the big ditches, that’s the problem. It literally was the perfect storm event.

Sprinski was 47 when he died and had worked for the township since 1999. He was promoted to cemetery sexton in 2014. “A lot of us knew and loved Danny,” a woman told the trustees. “I just don’t understand where you’re coming from. You need compassion.”

powerful going through those hoses. None of my neighbors had any fl ooding. The golf course was fl ooded behind me because there’s a creek. I don’t understand. Some of those homes have one pump and kept up. And my house couldn’t keep up with four pumps.” Mayor Mike Seferian, who lives in the same subdivision as Chisholm, said he thought her problem was caused by a natu-ral drain crossing into her yard. “I have neighbors whose pumps ran constantly. Mine barely runs,” said Seferian. “Our system is unique to others because it drains into ponds, then onto the golf course, then goes out onto the lake. I believe what happens in our subdivision is that some of the tile that’s crossing those ponds is crossing into your yard, too. Some of those people’s pumps run in dry weather, too. You have a natural drain coming into your yard somewhere from one of those ponds and it’s constantly running. You al-most have to correct that. When my house was built, they dug around the whole thing to make sure everything was sealed off. It was a lot of work. But that was done. And it did work. I have two pumps and only one of them comes on occasionally. The system

works very well with those ponds.” Roman noted that “everyone’s situ-ation could be completely different from each other.” “You have to fi nd the source,” said Roman. “When some of these subdivisions were made, there could be a lot of ways that something could leach out from your foun-dation and cause this problem. As much as storm drainage is supposed to stay in the pipe, it can travel on the outside, too. So

any pipe that goes to and from your home, out to the right of way or to the pond, water can travel on the outside of the pipe just as much. That can haunt you.” Councilman Jerry Peach said the city will help pay for the installation of a one way valve to prevent sanitary sewer back-ups in homes constructed prior to Dec. 11, 2006. “It could be installed in your sanitary sewer outlet. The city will contribute up to $1,000 to install that,” said Peach.

Indictments return A joint investigation involving Danbury Township Police, the Ottawa County Drug Task Force and Port Clinton Police has resulted in the arrest of 20-year-old Jonathan A. Buchanan, of Fremont. Buchanan, who is currently being held in the Ottawa County Detention Facility, was indicted July 15 on charges of breaking and entering, theft and theft of checks, all felonies of the fi fth degree. He is accused of entering Bergman Orchards Farm Market on SR 269 in Danbury Township, taking cash and checks from the register. As the result of an unrelated in-vestigation conducted by the Ottawa County Drug Task Force, Buchanan was also indicted on two counts of traf-fi cking in drugs, alleging that he sold heroin to a confi dential information on two occasions in April. The Ottawa County Grand Jury also indicted Zachary Sutherland, 21, whose last known address is 2010 W. Little Portage, Oak Harbor, with one count of failure to appear, a felony of the fourth degree after he alleged-ly failed to attend a court hearing on an unrelated indictment earlier this month.

Hearings are scheduled for Wednesday in Ottawa County Common Pleas Court for a complaint fi led by a Woodville woman against the Woodmore Board of Education. A mediation hearing is scheduled for 9 a.m. and another session is set for 1 p.m. before Judge Bruce Winters. Cara Brown fi led the complaint last February, alleging the school board has re-peatedly violated Ohio’s open records and meetings laws. Her lawsuit alleges:• Agendas for special and regular meet-ings of the board in 2014 and the fi rst two months of 2015 were defi cient and violated the laws.• The minutes of the board’s special and regular meetings during the same time are limited to roll call vote results with “virtu-ally no discussion” in violation of the laws.• Board committee meetings were sched-uled without appropriate notice to the pub-lic and meetings were not always open to the public. Also, agendas weren’t prepared for the meetings and there were no minutes written at their conclusion.• The board held a work session on Dec. 27 but the public wasn’t given adequate notice and the session wasn’t open to the public.• The board voted on important issues without any substantive discussion and board members have conducted “pre-ar-ranged discussions of public business.” Brown last week said concerns she had involving her children’s school bus stops led her to address a board meeting last August. However, her concerns weren’t in-cluded in the meeting minutes. “I was fi nding there were many other things that were not included in the min-utes,” she said. “I did some research, and, in my opinion, the board was not following the Sunshine laws. I approached the board in October and asked them to amend the previous meeting minutes to accurately re-fl ect my participation in the public meet-ings. “I fi led in February because I had wanted to give the board time to research what they were doing and what needed to be corrected. As meetings went on I noticed things were still being left out. The public wasn’t being notifi ed and given informa-tion and it was hard to understand how and why the board was making decisions.” About the time Brown approached the board, she also created a Facebook page, Woodmore Speak Up Speak Out, full of information about the school district, in-cluding its fi nances and operations. Audio recordings she makes of board meetings are also posted on the site. “I knew the only way to make a differ-ence is to let people know what your con-cerns are, prove your concerns and then get

Hearing Wednesday on records lawsuitsupport from the majority,” she said. “The best way to do that right now is through social media. It’s to supplement what the board isn’t giving the public.” The minutes of the board’s fi nance committee meeting this past April include an entry about the district’s cash reconcil-iation accounts and how they didn’t bal-ance with the bank. The minutes state that the treasurer, Jaime Pearson, asked for the board to re-approve all cash reconcilia-tions it had approved since October, when Pearson was hired. Pearson, according to the minutes, was aware of a prior imbalance but not aware a fi gure was being “plugged” in the fund bal-ance line. “Once a community member brought this to her attention, she researched the is-sue, and is now asking the board to re-ap-prove corrected statements which fairly state the district’s fi nancial situation,” the minutes state.

That community member is Brown, ac-cording to several sources. But she credits Pearson for bringing order to the district’s fi nances. “Her efforts brought in $600,000 more to the district last year,” Brown said. “That’s huge and it saved a lot of jobs. I don’t have enough words to express appre-ciation for what Jaime brings to this district and continues to do for this district. She hit the ground running.” Brown said she is “fairly confi dent” her lawsuit can be settled in mediation. She plans to soon fi le petitions to run for a seat on the school board in the November election. Derek Haggerty, attorney for the school board, also said he was cautiously optimis-tic the lawsuit could be resolved. “It is my expectation that both parties will work hard to resolve their dispute at the upcoming mediation,” he said in an email message.

Oregon’s new semi-trailer truck valued at $130,000 was stolen from a Western Star Dealer in Monroe, Michigan this month where it was being serviced under warran-ty. “We had an unusual theft to report to-day,” City Administrator Mike Beazley said at a council meeting on July 13. “One of our big semis disappeared. It’s gone. And it’s a large truck. It’s insured, but it’s someone else’s responsibility.” The truck was purchased last year, and went into service in October, Marty Wineland, superintendent of streets, told The Press after the meeting. “We used it for hauling stones and leaves, and to pull a low boy equipment trailer,” he said. The Western Star Dealer completed work on Friday, July 10, he said. “They got things taken care of, locked it up, put the keys in the offi ce,” said Wineland. “When they came in Monday, their fence was knocked down and the truck was missing.” Surveillance video at the dealer showed the truck being stolen, he said. “They watched the guy go over the fence, watched him trying to steal one of their new trucks – wasn’t able to do it. Watched him break the back window of our truck, watched him drive away, and watched him knock the fence down,” said Wineland. The city got the bad news on Monday. “We made the call ourselves. My me-chanic was going to pick it up Monday morning, so he called to make sure the war-ranty work was done because he was told it would be done Friday and we could get it Monday. So he called to make sure it was ready, and that’s when they told him, `We got some bad news.’” Truck recovered The city bought the truck from Kinstle Sterling Western Truck in Wapakoneta through the state purchasing program last year for $115,000. Added features brought

Oregon’s new semi stolen

the value of the truck to $130,000. The truck was recovered a week later in Detroit with considerable damage, said Wineland. “I received a call from the Monroe po-lice to say they had found it. The dealer-ship arranged to have it towed to Monroe. That’s when I went up to take a look at it last night. It was not in good shape. It was stripped down a little bit. The rear wheels were missing. They stole a fi fth wheel plate, fenders, air lines, took the light bar off the top, tore the headliner out, busted the dash, stole the radio. We’re not real sure what else,” said Wineland. The dealer’s insurance coverage is ex-pected to pay for the damage, he added. “The vehicle was under their care, so it’s their responsibility,” he said. Wineland, who has worked for the city for several years, said he remembers just one other time when an attempt was made to steal a city truck at American Enterprise. “I don’t remember if they were successful or not.” Wineland said Monroe police told him there have been a number of trucks stolen in the area. “I’m told a sister company, Freightliner of Toledo, have had quite a few trucks sto-len, also,” he said. The city will decide where to take the truck for repairs once the insurance adjust-er evaluates the damage. “The truck only had about 3,300 miles on it. It was a real nice looking truck,” said Wineland. We were proud of it. We were fortunate that the administration got us some good tools here. Then someone had to mess it up for us.”

Voters in the Woodmore School District won’t see a levy renewal request on the November ballot. The school board voted Tuesday to not seek renewal this year of a 5-year proper-ty tax that generates $600,000 annually for operations. The levy will expire in December 2016 but the board last month voted 4-1 to begin the process for placing it on this November’s ballot. Joe Liszak, a member of the board’s fi -nance committee, cast the sole vote against going on the ballot, arguing that voters in May had rejected the renewal levy and an income tax request. District residents,

By Deb WallacePress Contributing Writer

In a span of about 30 hours over June 26 and 27, approximately 6.5 inches of rain fell in the Woodville area. All of this rain in that amount of time caused area streams and rivers to fl ood quickly. The Portage River crested at approximately 13.71 feet. This was by no means a record for the area as there was a crest of 14.66 feet that was recorded in 2008. The highest recorded crest of all time was 17 feet in 1913. The deluge threatened Woodville’s 73rd Annual Fourth of July Celebration, forced committee members to implement Plan B and strategize a Plan C for future celebrations. With water covering Trailmarker Park, the festival site, less than a week before July 4th, many wondered if the annual celebra-tion would go on. Rene Dix, committee co-chair, said the committee wondered if the water would go down in time, would the ground dry out enough to have fi reworks on Friday night and would the river smell go away by the weekend. Dix said committee members moved fast to rearrange attractions. Food vendors were moved up to the street, the beer tent was moved to the bingo tent and bingo was moved to the shelter house. Big Six and raffl es were moved to the tennis court. Most of the front stage entertainment was cancelled for Friday and Saturday but the Game Show went on as planned. Once the water went down, tons of stone was brought in so the ride company could still bring in a few rides. She said they weren’t sure until Thursday evening if they would be able to shoot the fi reworks on Friday night as scheduled or if they would have to wait until the Sunday night rain date. Fortunately, things dried out enough that they could shoot on Friday. These changes were discussed at an emergency planning session on the evening of June 28. The committee had no Plan B in case of fl ooding, but decided they could scale back to keep the tradition alive. In the recent wrap-up meeting, the committee decided that the plans they did make for this year’s event would be a Plan

Woodville 4th fl ood plan B

B, with minor changes, should the river once again fl ood so close to the holiday. A suggestion was also made that there should be a Plan C in case the park fl oods so se-verely that they can’t even hold anything in the area. While the fl ooding led to a scaled back celebration, the village fared well. Keith Kruse, village administrator, said there were no damage reports to village offi ces and the biggest concern was fl ood waters getting into the community swimming pool. Once the waters receded, the main concerns were the standing water, mosqui-toes and debris. During any fl ooding event, Kruse stat-ed that they monitor the river level and at specifi c levels will remove pumps and controls from the pool basement and move picnic tables out of the low lying areas. He said they also inspect the inventory of sands bags and notify the police depart-ment of the availability if they were to get calls from residents needing to pick them up for use. Also, the county EMA is anoth-er resource that the village will utilize, and they keep in contact with them on chang-ing conditions. Kruse also stated that the village will review plans limiting activity in the park that are most affected by fl ooding. Even with rainfall totals that no one had seen in recent memory and a few short days to re-plan such a big event, the cele-bration committee and village employees, along with many others, made sure that Woodville was still able to have a success-ful party for the Fourth of July.

WoodmoreLevy renewal request dropped

he said, deserved a clearer picture of the school system’s fi nancial situation before the board opts to go to the ballot. Last week, however, the other board members also agreed to postpone seeking renewal of the levy. The district is expecting to receive ap-proximately $500,000 more in state fund-ing this fi scal year than last year. In other business, the board agreed to not save the K-1 wing of the former elemen-tary school in Woodville from demolition. One option the board had considered was to retain that part of the elementa-ry school for storage of athletic and other equipment. But the costs of renovating the wing to make it suitable for storage weighed on the board’s decision. The district opened a new pre-kinder-garten through eighth grade building last year in the village.

A public meeting to discuss chang-es to the state’s Current Agricultural Use Valuation tax formula is scheduled for Aug. 4 at 6 p.m. at Oak Harbor High School. Ottawa County Auditor Lawrence Hartlaub said he planned the meeting to in-form the public about recent changes in the program adopted by the Ohio Department of Taxation. Rick Hoffman, of Local Government Services, LLC, will discuss the changes. “The Ottawa County Auditor’s offi ce has worked with Mr. Hoffman for a num-ber of years on matters related to real es-tate taxation, valuation and budgeting,” Hartlaub said. “We will tap into his knowl-edge of the CAUV formula to explain the many recent changes to the formula and the future of the CAUV program.”

Meeting at Oak Harbor High School

Agricultural use tax valuations to be discussed The Ohio Farm Bureau, Ohio Farmer’s Union, and Benton-Carroll-Salem School District are also hosting the meeting. CAUV values are calculated by the department of taxation for each of Ohio’s 3,500 plus soil types. The soil rates allow land to be taxed based on its agricultural value rather than fair market value. Five factors are used in the formula: yield information, cropping patterns, crop prices, non-land production costs, and cap-italization rate. The Farm Bureau in March said it had initiated an extensive review of the program as tax bills for many farmers had doubled at a time when farm income was falling. After the taxation department adopted some of the Farm Bureau recommendations, the formula more accurately refl ected cur-rent economic conditions in the agriculture industry and better refl ected the value of woodlands, according to the Farm Bureau.

The Farm Bureau projected cropland valuations would be 26 percent lower and woodland valuations 54 percent lower than previously projected for Miami silt loam, one of the state’s most prominent soil type. While the projected reductions ap-plied to valuations and not to the overall tax amount, the Farm Bureau anticipated tax bills would be higher than but not as high as they would be without the changes. Local millage rates and other factors also affect tax rates. According to data compiled by the taxation department, the CAUV in area counties was signifi cantly lower than the market value in 2014 in Lucas (29 percent of market value), Ottawa (37 percent) and Sandusky (44 percent) counties. Wood County, at 84 percent, was closer to market value. Statewide, the average CAUV was 52 percent of market value. For information about the meeting call 419-734-6742.

A total of 443 entered this year’s Small Arms Firing School (SAFS) – held in Camp Perry’s historic Hough Theater and Viale Range during the 2015 National Trophy Rifle Matches. The clinic is designed for new and expe-rienced shooters alike. Beginners learn the basics of marksmanship and competition shooting, while the more advanced will have the chance to learn more specific instruction on how to improve their skills. D.J. Maier, 36, and his wife Keiko, 34, of Lake Villa, Illinois, participated in SAFS for the first time. D.J., a former Marine, had been to the matches before but hadn’t returned since 2000. His wife, who he met in Japan while he was stationed there, is totally new to the shooting game – but with the help of the SAFS instructors, she was able to catch on quickly. “She did fine today. I think it’s some-thing we’re going to do from here on out,” DJ said. “She’s new to it. She’s from Tokyo…for her to come out here, really her first time to pick up a highpower rifle – she was shooting 9’s and 10’s, so the instruc-tion had to have been awesome. She did very well.” “I enjoyed it a lot,” Keiko added with a smile. “First of all, I was really nervous because I had never touched a gun, even a small one, but I got a really good coach . . . I really enjoyed it.” The course is led by members of the Army Marksmanship Unit and other highly qualified military shooting team members and CMP instructors. At the end of live-fire practice on the range, all students are able to compete in a true EIC Match – with the chance to earn points towards becoming Distinguished marksmen. John Watson, 47, of Perry, Ohio, was the winner of the M16 Match with a score of 387-15x. During his impressive per-formance, Watson managed to clean both the Prone Rapid Fire and Sitting portions of the match – firing 100-3x and 100-4x, respectively.

443 enroll in small arms school

Clinics remain popular at rifl e matches

Micaela Wojnar, 16, of Milan, Ohio, was the high junior of the match – finishing in fifth place overall with her outstanding score of 385-8x. Along with SAFS, a junior high power clinic and advanced clinic, was also held on the Camp Perry ranges. The clinics catered to those who wished to acquire even more fundamental teaching as well as those who were looking for more progres-sive instruction. The CMP-Remington Advanced Highpower Clinic offers in-depth learning through classroom and dry-fire exercises on the range. The course is led by members of the Remington-Bushmaster Team and headed by retired U.S. Marine and former non-commissioned officer in charge of the Marine shooting team, Ken Roxburgh. This year, over 50 students took the course.

During the CMP-USMC (United States Marine Corps) Junior Highpower Clinic, members of the USMC shooting team pro-vided classroom instruction and also con-ducted live firing practice on the range from the 200, 300 and 600 yard lines. The group of over 140 juniors learned many variables of the sport including effects of weather, maintenance, and positioning and sight alignment. “We take what we know from being on the Marine Corps shooting team and basi-cally teach them what we know,” said Sgt. Mark Windmassinger, staff non-commis-sioned officer in charge. For information on the National Matches and its clinics, visit http://thecmp.org/cmp-national-matches/.

Third phase of sanitary sewer rehabilitation in OregonBy Kelly J. KaczalaPress News [email protected]

Oregon is about to begin Phase 3 of the sanitary sewer rehabilitation project to re-duce infi ltration and infl ow (I&I) of storm water into the sanitary sewers. Phase 3, which will be mostly fund-ed by a low interest loan from the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency’s Water Pollution Control Loan Fund (WPCLF), consists of lining sanitary sewers to elimi-nate sewer overfl ows. The city applied for the loan in April. Oregon council in June approved a $1.9 million contract with Performance Pipeline, of Ottawa, Illinois, for Phase 3. The bid was much lower than the city’s $3 million cost estimate for the project. Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation Projects Phases 1 and 2 have already been complet-ed. Phase 3 includes the rehabilitation of

mainline and lateral sanitary sewers in the Euclid Park, Old Eastmoreland, and Valley Park areas and the lining of 56 manholes. The targeted area is just north of Navarre, west of Wheeling, and south of Starr, said Public Service Director Paul Roman. It is one of the worst areas of in-fl ow and infi ltration in the sanitary sewers. Lining the sanitary sewers keeps the storm water out. Roman said rain can delay the start of the project. “Wet weather does affect us. We have to bypass pumps when we line the sewers. You want as less wet weather as possible,” he said. There will be little disruption in the traffi c fl ow while the work is being done, he said. “There is some open cut work on Wheeling Street, but a lot of it is between the curb and sidewalk. The bulk of the work is within the neighborhoods, on the local streets,” he said.

The project is part of the required sanitary sewer rehabilitation by the city’s Wastewater Treatment Plant Ohio EPA National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit. As authorized by the Clean Water Act, the NPDES Permit program controls water pollution by regu-lating point sources that discharge pollut-ants into bodies of water, such as Lake Erie. Municipal facilities are required to obtain permits if their discharges go into surface waters. The WPCLF, created in 1989, provides below market interest rate loans for com-munities to improve their wastewater treat-ment systems, according to Dina Pierce, spokesperson for the Ohio EPA. The city is receiving a 1.99 percent interest rate on its $1.82 million loan. The reduced in-terest rate will save the city an estimated $272,116 compared to a conventional, mar-ket-rate loan. The project will also receive $300,000 in grant and loan funds from the Ohio

Public Works Commission (OPWC). Phase 1 in 2009 consisted of a $740,000 sanitary sewer and manhole lining proj-ect that covered nearly 9,000 linear feet of sewer pipe and 51 sanitary sewer man-holes. Infi ltration target areas, such as sew-ers running underneath creeks, were part of the project. The normal dry weather fl ow seen at the wastewater treatment plant was reduced by about 500,000 gallons per day following the project, based on the elimina-tion of groundwater infi ltration into sewer pipes at creek crossings. Phase 2 consisted of replacing exist-ing sanitary sewer lines located within the right of way at Cresceus Road, Mambrino Road, and Grasser Street between Pickle Road and Dearborn Avenue. The project also included sanitary sewer lining on Wheeling Street, between Navarre Avenue and Bleeker Street, and Pickle Road be-tween Grasser Street and Wheeling Street. Phase 3 will take up to one year to complete.

T-Town Action Week comes to East Toledo on August 3-8, and residents are fo-cusing on an area One Voice for East Toledo leaders say is affl icted by prostitution and known drug houses. The City of Toledo and One Voice are re-cruiting volunteers to join their “anti-blight movement,” which means cleaning up the area between Starr to Navarre and Oak to White, focusing on East Broadway over to Main to Oak. Jodi Gross, East Toledo Family Center community builder and One Voice leader, says the area that faces the most challenges sits along East Broadway between Nevada and Starr. “That’s been on our radar for a long time,” Gross said, adding that the clean-up has been expanded to meet those challeng-es. “The biggest thing is just showing the community that we need to take back our neighborhoods. Even though we are pounding the pavement to try and get this taken care of, we need everybody to do it, especially in that particular area,” Gross continued. Toledo Police Chief George Kral has re-ported that throughout the city, compared to the same period in 2014, homicides are down 58 percent, burglaries down 17 percent, shootings down 40 percent, auto thefts down 12 percent and complaints against offi cers down 13 percent. However, in that particular East Toledo corridor, the crime occurring in one month’s time re-mains staggering. Searching the police department’s vio-lent crime activity report from June 24-July 22, a one-half mile circle centered on East Broadway and Woodville picked up six aggravated assaults, 11 simple assaults, 10 harassment/nuisance reports, nine menac-ing charges, eight discharging fi reworks, six aggravated assaults, fi ve criminal damage reports, fi ve criminal trespassing reports, two fl eeing/elude fail to obey citations, two

Touching Hearts, Changing Lives

During my childhood, my father would often preface

his trips to the garage with the announcement that he

was going downstairs to “putter,” often saying that he

was “just going to putter around” in the garage. What

he usually ended up doing for the next few hours was

fixing broken toys, lamps or other appliances, or

working on the cars. I distinctly remember looking up

the word “putter” after hearing my father use the term,

trust me, he “puttered” a lot, and chuckling when I read

the definition: to occupy oneself with minor or

unimportant tasks. But even then I knew that what my

father was doing wasn’t minor or unimportant. Seeing

him fix broken stuff around the house was an

important lesson on the value of resourcefulness,

frugality, and helping others. Some of my most

productive days now are those lazy Saturdays when I

putter around the house, doing some housework

perhaps between writing these short pieces, and then

maybe going for a walk. We never know what we

might find or how we might get inspired when we

putter. You don't always need a prioritized list in order

to get stuff done or to savor life in all its glory.

Sometimes you just need to take the time to putter.

“Praise the Lord , my soul; all my inmost being, praise

his holy name.” Psalm103:1

T-Town Action Week

Residents take on area affl icted by drugs

property aggravated weapons charges, one noise ordinance charge and nine multiple crimes. Property crimes included 13 aggravat-ed burglaries, 10 criminal damage to vehi-cle reports, 10 noise ordinance citations, nine thefts, four forgery/falsifi cations, and a handful of others, like harassment/nui-sance, one multiple crime report and an unauthorized use vehicle report. Where there is crime, there is typical-ly blight, as Gross and One Voice Housing Committee Co-Chair Amy Tingley found out while they were riding with a police of-fi cer inventorying properties for the Lucas County Land Bank. “When we were out, we stopped on East Broadway, and there was a lot of activ-ity — like people sitting on the porch, and the police offi cer wanted to get an idea of what was going on,” Gross said. “There is this one block (near Nevada) that there are some particular homes that need to be cleaned up. It’s sad, because I go by there practically every day and it’s just not good. Then, you walk through the neighborhoods and you feel a little bit better, but there is a lot of walking in that area,” Gross continued. “The alleys are a mess, the blighted properties need to be cleaned up, there have been some houses torn down on East Broadway. We also identifi ed those proper-ties, so if there was a blighted property, we are checking to see if it is on the land bank’s list to be torn down. We also looked at it to see if there is high grass.” While in the neighborhoods, they took

advantage of the opportunity, trying to reach out to residents and asking them to take part in the upcoming T-Town Action Week. It’s community policing Police Chief George Kral wants his men on the street to do. “My goal is to dramatically increase the visibility and accessibility of all TPD offi cers in this community,” Kral stated in a letter to residents. “As often as possible, offi cers are getting out of their cars and walking or riding bikes in both residen-tial neighborhoods and business corridors. Clearly, our priority is to quickly respond to 9-1-1 emergency calls for service. But, whenever possible, I have directed that of-fi cers get out of their cars and interact with the community.” For Gross, seeing this in action was en-lightening. “The police offi cers, while we were driving, we are stopping and talking to neighbors — as many times as we could. We got out and talked and encouraged peo-ple to come out during the week not only that week, but to stay engaged in the com-munity,” Gross said. During T-Town Action Week, there will be refuse collection sites set up at vari-ous locations and city staff will be available from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. to talk to residents about remediating blight and improving the community. Gross says all residents are welcome to participate morning and after-noon hours during the week, and work with city staff from 9 a.m. to noon on Saturday. “The really biggest thing is the city is going to go all in,” Gross said. “All the city services will be available that week to clean this entire area. Then, what’s going to happen is we are going to need that to stay maintained. And, it really is going to take the neighbors to do that. “I would imagine, especially on the main strip that is not going to happen over-night. That is going to take diligence in re-porting the houses that are bad. If you see something, report it. Because, we keep be-ing told, we have to be the eyes and ears for the police for code enforcement. If it’s not cleaned up, report it. If it seems suspicious,

Should S. Carolina lawmakers vote to remove the Confederate

Is performing gay marriages a judge's duty, despite any

personal beliefs?

One way or the other To the editor: Recently, Toledo Municipal Court Judge C. Allen McConnell recused himself from presiding at a same-sex marriage. Under the constitution and interpretation of the courts, he has the full right to do so. Our Founding Fathers established freedom of religion because they were forced to belong to the Church of England. They wanted the freedom to choose their own personal faith. This was the sole in-tent of the First Amendment concerning religion. Since then, our courts have interpreted that some of society’s religious beliefs, such as prayer in school and publicly displaying the Ten Commandments, violate the First Amendment. In essence, we cannot force the state to allow us to pray in schools, even though prayer is no particular religion.

Letters Letters should be about 350 words. Deadline Wed. Noon. Send to [email protected]

This must go both ways, since the courts have established and interpreted the First Amendment to be anything related to faith, including prayer, that personally of-fends someone. Just as a person of faith cannot offend the conscience of the state, according to the courts, the state may not offend one’s faith conscience. Anyone with the authority to preside over or service a same-sex wedding can-not have his or her conscience offended by being forced to perform the service. This would violate freedom of religion as estab-lished by the courts. You cannot have it one way and not the other. This would be unjust and dis-criminatory against a person of faith. And, there are many others who are willing to perform these services. Steven R CherryOregon

Life takes effort. Success takes effort. Suffering takes effort. Failure takes effort. Yet, “it takes too much effort,” is a con-stantly heard excuse for not even attempt-ing something. Effort is required for happi-ness and success. However, just expending effort does not guarantee success, nor does more ef-fort automatically accelerate your prog-ress. The effort you put into life must be focused toward one or more specifi c goals. Otherwise your energy is scattered without producing any desired results. Before you are ready to provide effort, you must know what goals you are working toward. Next, you need a plan designed to attain your goals. Now you can put in the effort required to implement each step in your plan. Self-monitoring is used to ensure your effort is actually keeping you on track. It’s essential to immediately detect if and when you drift off course. Then you are able to take whatever corrective action is required to get you back in the right direction. Without effective self-monitoring, you run the risk of squandering effort by going

Effort needs to be targeted, monitored to achieve success

in the wrong direction. Effort without re-sults is a waste of time. But discovering something that doesn’t work as expected is not a waste of time, it is a learning expe-rience which highlights what needs to be changed. Understanding the difference between productivity and activity is necessary for evaluating the effectiveness of your ef-fort. You are productive whenever you are working toward a specifi c goal. You are active when your are busy with no goal in mind. The objective is devoting your ef-forts toward productive behavior. Utilizing the 80/20 principle helps keep your efforts productive. This prin-ciple states that 20 percent of your ef-forts produce 80 percent of your results. Analyze your behavior to determine cause

and effect relationships. Now focus on the efforts which generate the most results. Keep this principle in mind as you utilize self-monitoring to maximize your produc-tivity. These strategies enable you to maxi-mize the positive impact of your efforts. You want to work smart fi rst, and then work hard at it. Intelligent application of focused effort accelerates your progress. Conversely, effort dispersed without direction drains you without moving you forward. Random effort scatters your energy. Whereas you are working hard, you are not working smart. Therefore, there are few, if any, results emanating from all of your hard work. You are drained with little or nothing to show. This scenario causes you measurable frustration leading to burnout. Your attitude suffers when you feel burned out. Since nothing has been accom-plished, your outlook turns negative. You are then more likely to give up because you see no point continuing to toil. Once you give up, failure is ensured. In a situation where your efforts are not yielding the desired results, your strate-

I love baseball. I have since I was a kid. And I’m lucky to be married to a woman who loves the game as much as I do. We recently attended the 86th an-nual Major League All Star Game in Cincinnati. As part of the opening cer-emonies, the Cincinnati Reds honored what they called the Franchise Four, the four greatest players in the team’s history: Johnny Bench, Joe Morgan, Barry Larkin, and Pete Rose. Bench, Morgan, and Larkin are mem-bers of professional baseball’s Hall of Fame. Rose, on the other hand, is banned from baseball for life. Despite being one of the greatest hitters and toughest players in the game’s history, he may never get this dis-tinction. Why? Because he gambled. Rose admitted in the late 1980s that he’d bet on baseball games, including his own. Even though he bet on his team to win, and never threw a game, this broke

Second chances in life are just as American as baseballGuestEditorial

baseball’s rules. The 50,000 fans in Cincinnati went completely crazy when Rose’s name was called. Hearing them chant “Hall of Fame! Hall of Fame!” as he walked out onto the fi eld, I thought about second chances. I work in Washington, D.C. — the City of Second Chances. Just ask any politician caught cheating on his taxes, exposed for campaign fi nance fraud, or busted in an af-fair with an intern or underage page. They usually go before the voters, hat in hand, issue a mea culpa, and get on with their lives. Most of the time charges are never even fi led. That’s true even in high-profi le security cases.

Former Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage, for example, was never charged for leaking the name of CIA op-erative Valerie Plame, whose husband had written a critical commentary of the last Bush administration. Scooter Libby, a former aide to Vice President Dick Cheney, was convicted of four felonies related to the case. But thanks to President George W. Bush commuting his sentence, Libby didn’t serve a minute in prison. The same can’t be said for the 3,278 Americans serving life sentences without parole for non-violent crimes that can be remarkably petty — including stealing a jacket or serving as the middleman in a $10 marijuana transaction. Don’t they deserve a second chance? What about the hundreds of thousands of people currently incarcerated as non-violent drug offenders? They make up half of all federal inmates. Shouldn’t they get a second chance too? A second chance for them might

mean keeping their families intact, saving their jobs, and sustaining their contribu-tions to their communities. It might mean allowing them to maintain a relationship with their children or keep employing people in their businesses. It would also save taxpayers a bundle instead of wast-ing money to lock up people who aren’t dangerous. And Pete Rose — who still autographs baseballs with “I’m sorry I bet on base-ball” — sure seems to have gotten a second chance from the people of Cincinnati, if not from Major League Baseball. It’s time to extend average Americans the same courtesy. Just as Pete Rose belongs in the Hall of Fame, non-violent drug of-fenders belong at home with their families.

gy needs to be reassessed. Identifying what changes are required is essential. You may need to adjust your focus. Perhaps a dif-ferent course of action is appropriate. It’s even possible more effort is called for in order to overcome obstacles. As tempting as it may be, giving up is never a solution. The expenditure of effort is the basis for achievement. There are no shortcuts. You must be willing to do what is necessary, for as long as it takes to reach your objective. Anything worthwhile takes effort. The loftier your goals, the more effort you must devote. Expecting something for nothing wastes time. Keep your efforts concentrat-ed on productive behavior. Since life takes effort, apply your effort towards success.

Some touch time with a newborn: Will he thrive?

“De-energizingrelationships

are morepotent than

energizing ones.

His whole hand covered just the fi rst knuckle of my index fi nger. He was swaddled and sleeping and still he clutched that fi nger as if it were a lifeline to a strange new world, one colder and brighter than the warm, safe one he emerged from two days ago. I had an hour of touch time with my newest grandson and, as he slept in the crook of my arm, I thought about how small and helpless he is and how he’ll have to be nourished and nurtured until he becomes one of us—an adult. His parents will not only feed him, shelter him, educate him and keep him from harm they will project their values on him. His attitude towards others and about himself will be shaped by the attitudes of his parents, his extended family and his peers. All of that will go a long way into de-termining whether or not he will thrive in this world, or struggle. Two recent studies provide some clues on how his attitude will determine his suc-cess and happiness. The fi rst deals with jerks in the workplace and the second with the social skills that can predict success later in life. Gretchen Spreitzer, professor of management and organizations at the University of Michigan, along with four other researchers conducted a study about jerks in the workplace entitled Destructive De-Energizing Relationships: How Thriving Buffers Their Effect on Performance.

Spreitzer’s group studied 161 employ-ees in the information technology depart-ment of an engineering fi rm. Employees were asked a series of questions about their relationship with each member of the de-partment. Employees were also rated by their immediate supervisors. The questions were designed to de-

termine whether so-called de-energizers—those with bad attitudes—negatively affect the performance of others. We need a study for this? Of course they affect the performance of others. Who wants to work with, live with, or associate with those who see road-blocks at every turn, those who talk more than they listen, those who bring you down through their inarticulate criticism, those who only see their viewpoints as having value, or those who spend more effort get-ting out of work than working. Bad attitudes are stronger than good ones, the study states, so “de-energizing re-lationships are more potent than energizing ones.” Spreitzer concludes de-energizers can hinder critical thinking, decrease motiva-tion to participate in the organization’s mission and leave teammates drained. De-energizers impact the performance of marginal employees, more so than those who thrive in their jobs. High achievers don’t waste much time with negative peo-ple. They are on a quest for what behavioral scientist Abraham Maslow called self-actu-alization—the realization of your full po-tential—to be all you can be. I contacted Gretchen Spreitzer after reading the study. She addressed the im-portance of attitude in an email “I think it shapes how we feel about our work in pow-erful ways. Performance matters, but feel-ing that one is on a positive trajectory, or thriving, is important too for people to feel

good about their work.” A second study confi rms these fi nd-ings. This 20-year retrospective study, conducted by researchers from Penn State and Duke, followed 750 subjects from kin-dergarten to age 25. Initially, children were rated by teachers on such social compe-tency skills as listening, sharing, cooperat-ing with peers and being helpful. The sub-jects were followed through personal con-tact, parental contact and offi cial records. Researchers determined that those who scored high in social competency skills in kindergarten were more likely to attain higher education and well-paying jobs. Conversely, those who scored at the lower end were more likely to drop out of school, abuse drugs and alcohol, engage in crimi-nal behavior and need public assistance. In light of these two studies, teaching our children to say please and thank you, to share with others, to play nice, to value the search for knowledge and the quest for self-actualization may help them fi nd a lifeline to a steady paycheck and a meaningful job.

The Ohio Monarchs Gold team won NABF College World Series champion-ships in 2008 and 2010, with players from The Press coverage area playing key roles.

This year could be the same scenario for the Toledo Hawks, one of 12 teams that will compete in the NABF World Series July 30 through Aug. 2. The Series, for ages 22 and under, will be played at four differ-ent local sites: Mercy Field, Bowman Park, Southview High School, and St. Francis High School. The title game is scheduled for 11 a.m. on Aug. 2 at Mercy Field.

Former Waite High standout Dylan Clifton-Lorton is a starting catcher for the Hawks, who were 25-20 through July 20. The Hawks were 14-17 in the Tri-State League and 11-3 in the Northwest Ohio Men’s Baseball Association.

“There are a lot of things to like about this team,” Hawks manager Ed Mouch said. “I do like our pitching. Our pitching is sol-id. We’ve got fi ve, six guys where when we get to the World Series who are capable of starting and winning games for us. When we have our regular lineup every day, we are really good with regards to swinging the bats. A lot of the time we don’t have our best lineups, because college kids have jobs and might have to go on vacations.”

Mouch will be counting on the 6-0, 190-pound Clifton-Lorton to compete in the World Series. Clifton-Lorton is one of three catchers on the Hawks’ squad.

“I try to make sure kids get an equal amount of playing time if they’re there all the time,” Mouch said. “Dylan is doing al-right. He is primarily the heart and soul of our team, and he’s been around for a few years. He gets the kids going. He and Mason Mayberry (University of Findlay pitcher) have been around the longest together.”

Last year’s World Series was canceled after pool play because of the water crisis in Toledo. Mouch said the Hawks’ pitching staff will have to step up if the team has any shot of winning the 2015 crown. The Hawks lost to the Livonia (Mich.) Bulls in the 2012 NABF World Series champion-ship game.

Waite, Stritch, Clay products seek national titles

“One of our big keys is pitching,” Mouch said. “We will need pitching to win. Defensively and offensively, we’ve been on a roller coaster at times. If we can be con-sistent defensively and get some timely hit-ting, we have as good a chance as anybody.”

The Toledo Hawks’ 16U team is also competing in the NABF 18U World Series this week in Struthers, Ohio. Mouch, who helped assemble the 16U Hawks team, said they qualifi ed by winning their league championship. Jeremy Snow, an assistant coach at Lourdes University, is the Hawks’ coach.

The Hawks have two players each from

Clay and Cardinal Stritch high schools. Clay’s Devin Lunsford pitches and Jack Winckowski pitches and plays in the out-fi eld. Stritch’s Andrew Flowers plays short-stop, and Joey Peternel is a catcher.

“Winckowski has impressed with his speed and defensive ability in the outfi eld,” Mouch said. “I watched Lunsford throw about six innings in a game and he threw re-ally well. Peternel is very solid defensively and has a good arm. He’s still developing as a hitter. Flowers is one of their best all-around players. He’s playing shortstop for them and having a really good summer. He’s able to run the bases, and he can hit.”

Owens athletics fi nishes 23rd in national cup By Nicholas HuenefeldOwens Sports [email protected]

Owens Community College earned a spot among the nation’s top two-year colleges as the National Alliance of Two Year Collegiate Athletic Administrators announced the fi nal NATYCAA Cup standings of the year recently.

Among all National Junior College Athletic Association scholarship schools, Owens fi nished 23rd in the nation. Owens fi nished ahead of all competitors in the Ohio Community College Athletic Conference. The only school to fi nish ahead of them in the region was Vincennes University out of Indiana, which fi nished 12th.

All schools are ranked based on how each of their athletic teams fi n-ished. Some of the highlights at Owens this year included the women’s soc-cer team making the NJCAA Division I National Tournament for the second straight year, the women’s basketball team fi nishing third in the nation at the NJCAA Division II National Tournament, the men’s golf team mak-ing the NJCAA Division II National Tournament for the third straight year and fi nishing ninth in the nation, and the softball team making the NJCAA Division II National Tournament for the fi rst time since 2011.

At the conference level, Owens won OCCAC championships in men’s basketball, women’s basketball and softball. They captured Region XII tournament championships in wom-en’s soccer, women’s basketball and softball. Men’s golf and men’s basket-ball each fi nished as the Region XII runner-up.

Earlier this summer, Owens was also named the 2014-15 OCCAC All-Sports Award winner.

Scott Wamer’s decision was diffi cult, but in the end it was fairly easy.

Wamer, the Clay girls’ soccer coach for the past 15 years, turned in his letter of res-ignation to the Clay Board of Education last month.

“It is time to just be ‘Dad,’ ” he said. “I am leaving the program in very good shape, with an outstanding staff.”

Don Hess, who has been Clay’s junior varsity soccer coach and varsity assistant for the past seven years, is taking over the program.

Hess said Wamer informed him about a month ago that he was resigning.

“I was very surprised,” Hess said. “He said it was time to be a dad. The program’s been running on eight cylinders for a few years now and doing well. A lot of (Clay) kids are playing soccer, and there is a lot of talent.”

Wamer fi nished with a 139-78-26 re-cord and coached the Eagles to the only fi ve league championships in school history — 2004, ‘07, ‘08, ‘12 and ‘14. The 2012 and ‘14 teams reached the district semifi nals. Clay has never reached a district fi nal, but the Eagles could return nine starters from last year’s team.

“I would like to make a deep tourna-ment run,” Hess said. “I’d like to win that district fi nal game and go further, along with playing for a league championship. I’m looking forward to it and I’m grateful for the opportunity.”

Coach Hess, Clay soccer players expect smooth transition

Wamer, who coaches the Eagles’ boys’ and girls’ track and fi eld teams, said he is grateful for the opportunity to lead Clay’s girls’ soccer program.

“I have poured my heart and soul into this program for 15 years,” he said. “I will take many fond memories with me. My daughter, Deighton, will be playing with an Elite club in Michigan. The Hawks are the

top club (team) in Michigan and is highly ranked nationally. With my son still play-ing at Pacesetter, my wife just can’t be at both places at the same time.

“Deighton has an unbelievable oppor-tunity with her own soccer career, and I feel it’s time for me to be there for both of my children.”

Wamer was a fi ve-time league coach of

the year and a three-time Northwest Ohio District Coach of the Year (2007, ‘08, ‘14). Clay fi nished fourth in the fi nal Division I state coaches’ poll last fall and was ranked in the top 10 in 2007.

Last year’s team fi nished 15-1-2, los-ing to Notre Dame Academy 2-1 in over-time during the district semis. The Eagles’ 2007 squad went 15-1-3 before losing to St. Ursula Academy, 2-1, in the district semis.

Sami Heintschel, who will be a ju-nior for the Eagles this fall, was a two-year starter under Wamer. She said the team was “shocked” when Wamer informed the play-ers of his resignation.

“There was some talk about him may-be resigning our senior year,” Heintschel said. “We were talking about it. Nobody had any clue he was going to (resign) my junior year. He has been our coach for two years in my (junior) class and we respect him. You wanted to go out and play well for him. He’s the kind of guy where you’re always looking for his approval and sup-port for the decisions you make.”

Heintschel, whose sister Alyssa played for Wamer for four years and is now a sophomore on scholarship at Ball State University, said naming Hess to replace Wamer was a good call.

“A lot of the girls my age, he was a basketball coach at Eisenhower in eighth grade,” she said. “He coached an Oregon Crew team before. I respect him as a coach. He knows what he’s doing and he’s aware of what it takes to be a head coach at Clay. He knows we lost a big part of the program and we have to build on the success we had last year as a team.”

Central Catholic senior middle linebacker and Woodville native Zach Sandwisch has been nominated to play in the 2016 U.S. Army All-American Bowl. Those nominated may be selected and have the opportunity to showcase their tal-ents on Saturday, January 9, 2016, in the annual East vs. West match-up, televised live on NBC at 1 p.m. “The U.S. Army All-American Bowl is a unique event designed to showcase and recognize the talents of America’s youth while celebrating the team that makes a dif-ference every day for the Nation -the U.S. Army,” said Mark S. Davis, deputy assis-tant secretary of the Army for marketing. “This nomination recognizes the ver-satility and adaptability Sandwisch pos-sesses both on and off the fi eld; qualities he shares with U.S. Army soldiers. We look forward to the 2016 Army All-American Bowl program that includes more than 200 events across the country and culminates in San Antonio during game week.” Sandwisch was nominated by the U.S. Army All-American Bowl Selection Committee, which consists of All American Games, 247Sports and XOS Digital, and All American Games’ network of regional coaches throughout the country.

Sandwisch couldn’t play for the Irish until Game 6 last season after transferring from Woodmore. The 6-foot-3, 218-pound Sandwisch will play his senior season at Central Catholic in 2015 and then it’s on to West Virginia University. Sandwisch gave a verbal commitment to the Mountaineers on March 18.

He can offi cially sign next February, but before that happens he hopes to help the Irish win a second straight state champion-ship. Central begins the season in front of

an ESPN national television audience host-ing Cleveland Benedictine at the Gallagher Athletic Complex near downtown Toledo on Saturday, August 29, kickoff at 4 p.m.

Sandwisch played in fi ve regular-sea-son games and fi ve playoff games last sea-son, recording 80 tackles (16 for loss) and three sacks, with two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries.

Sandwisch played a big role in

Central’s run to the Division III state cham-pionship last fall. The eighth-ranked Irish upset second-ranked and unbeaten Athens 56-52 in a back and forth title game at Ohio Stadium. Sandwisch led the Irish, who fin-ished 13-2, with 10 tackles despite break-ing his right hand in the first quarter. He made the last tackle of the game, as time ran out. Sandwich was joined on the Irish roster by Alex Thompson of Oregon.

Of the 400 nominees for the U.S. Army All-American Bowl, 90 will be ulti-mately selected and invited to participate. The next step for the nominees occurs in September, when the U.S. Army All-American Bowl Selection Tour begins. Player finalists along with U.S. Army All-American Marching Band musicians will be announced nationwide throughout the fall, with the selection tour ending in early December. For 16 years, the U.S. Army All-American Bowl has been one of the nation’s premier high school football game, serving as the preeminent launching pad for many of America’s future college and NFL stars. Andrew Luck, Patrick Peterson and Jamaal Charles made their national debuts as U.S. Army All-Americans, and a total of seven U.S. Army All-American Bowl alum-ni were drafted in the first round of the 2014 NFL Draft. The 2015 U.S. Army All-American Bowl drew a crowd of 35,687 at the Alamodome. The U.S. Army All-American Bowl is owned and produced by All American Games, a New Jersey-based sports market-ing and event management company. The U.S. Army is the title sponsor of the U.S. Army All-American Bowl, and American Family Insurance is the lead national spon-sor and presenting sponsor of the telecast on NBC. Other national sponsors include Adidas, Gatorade, San Antonio Visitors Bureau, 247Sports, XOS Digital, NCSA, Lockheed Martin, Xenith, Battle Sports Science, EvoShield, NewTek and Football University.

Northwood’s boys basketball program is notorious for chewing up and spitting out head coaches in the the last few years.

Jim Besgrove begat Matt Donegan as the Rangers’ coach, followed by John Bryan and, for the last three years, Jim Scharer, whose three years at the helm produced an 8-63 overall record including 3-41 in the Toledo Area Athletic Conference. Northwood’s last two teams both fi nished 1-22 and were win-less in the TAAC both years.

The Rangers’ last boys’ basket-ball championship was in 1964, in the Lakeshore Conference, according to ath-letic director Ken James.

On Tuesday, the Northwood Board of Education approved Allen Drake as the high school’s next boys’ basketball coach. Drake, who was an assistant basketball coach and assistant strength coach at St. Francis de Sales the past two years, played high school basketball at Start High and played at Urbana University for three years.

This is his fi rst head coaching experi-ence.

“I didn’t know anything about the school, as far as pre-vious (basketball) re-cords,” Drake said. “I did think about, ‘am I ready for that?’ One of the things that fuels me is, I’m a competi-tor and I like taking on challenges. Right now the challenge is tak-ing a school that is known for football and baseball in the TAAC and making it respect-able as a basketball school and then exceed-ing those expectations as time goes on.

“I felt like it was my time to take ad-vantage of the opportunity that was pre-sented to me.”

James said Drake, 30, beat out “about a dozen” other candidates for the Northwood job. Three potential coaches were inter-viewed.

“He has a similar philosophy as me in terms of athlete development, such as strength training,” James said. “We’re on the same page. We are getting a guy who can develop the athletes. He has good lead-ership skills, and he comes highly recom-mended. We’re excited about going in a new direction.

“He’s young and energetic and he’s old enough to have a little distance from the kids, but young enough to relate well with them. We’re hoping that will inject some excitement back into the program. We’re aware this is not a quick fi x. It’s going to be a long-term project. He’s aware of that.”

Drake, a two-year starter at Start (2004), averaged 14 points and 10 rebounds a game as a senior while earning second-team All-City honors. He grabbed 24 rebounds in a single game to set a school record.

The 6-foot-4 Drake played football

Coach Drake seeks to right ship(tight end) and basketball at Urbana and was a three-year starter in basketball for the Blue Knights (2004-08). He set the school career record for fi eld goal percentage (.635) and was an All-American Mideast Conference pick as a junior and senior.

He got his introduction to several Northwood players when the Rangers par-ticipated in a summer league at St. Francis in June, when Scharer resigned. James and Northwood’s cross country coach, Kelley Wills, coached the players in Scharer’s place.

“I had to ref one of their games, and one of the things I noticed was they played hard and never gave up,” Drake said. “The following week I was getting ready to ref another one of their games when they men-tioned their coach had just quit. At the time I didn’t think anything of it. I saw their de-meanor change when they realized they didn’t have a coach, but they had some type of self pride for themselves.

“Most teams, when they lose their coach, they say ‘what’s the point of play-ing?’ After talking to coach James the fol-lowing week, I put in my application. I got

to watch them a little closer and saw what type of talent they had on the team. I liked that they played hard and were real scrappy on defense.”

Drake said one of his main goals is to teach the players to use basketball as a means to an end, that the game means more

than just winning and losing on the court.“You have to prepare yourself on a dai-

ly basis,” he said, “and doing that makes you a better man in life. If I can get the kids to play hard and play smart for me, that’s the biggest thing. Get them to understand a team game is better than an individual game. I’ve got to get them in the mindset of just not showing up for practice, but also doing the right things like getting to study tables, getting to games at the right time, doing things at a higher level. Everything I’m used to is done at a high level.”

Drake added that the players, parents and administration must be willing to ac-cept change if Northwood hopes to turn the program around soon. He said one of his greatest strengths is being able to deal with various personalities and getting individu-al players to believe in what he’s teaching them.

In the end, James said Drake’s enthusi-asm and defensive philosophy were keys to Drake getting hired.

“I’m smart enough to know that if you play great defense, you’re going to be in every game,” James said. “We have some quick kids, but we’re small. We just need somebody to inject some enthusiasm in the program. We need a guy who understands defense and can pressure (opponents). He seems like a guy who really relates well to kids.”

““We just need somebody to inject some enthusi-asm in the program.
