Commissioners to discuss contribution to economic development office
By LAUREN SCHLOSSER
Staff writer
The Wyandot County Commissioners learned about the efforts to start an economic development office in the county Thursday.
Doug Frisch and Gary Ward, of the Wyandot County Business Retention and Expansion task force, explained the attempts to gain public and private support for the project.
Wyandot County is one of the only counties in Ohio that does not have an economic development office, Frisch said.
"Each public entity that contributes would get a board seat," Ward said, adding the board will have about 12-15 people.
Frisch said he has had a lot of vocal support for the project, but many entities have not given an official commitment.
The village of Carey has committed to $10,000, he said.
The task force is hoping to get $115,000-$125,000, which would fund a full-time employee and a part-time employee, and expenses such as travel.
Frisch said the task force is anticipating the effort will receive half its funding from the public sector and half from private.

Turnovers help Carey roll to victory
By LONNIE McMILLAN

CAREY - The Carey girls basketball team knew Fremont St. Joseph’s weaknesses and exploited them.
The Crimson Flashes’ propensity for turnovers was evident, and the post-oriented team did not have the speed to keep up with the Blue Devils, who ran away with a 73-47 victory Thursday night.
St. Joseph, averaging the third most turnovers in the league at 25.8 per game, committed 33 against Carey, including 18 in the first half when the Blue Devils stormed out to a 42-20 lead.
