Tell Tales

n We are very sorry to report that Richie Saponari, the husband of Salvation Army Ottawa County Director Maureen Saponari, passed away last Friday. He was one of those “characters” on the local scene that made life more interesting and fun! Mon Ami is planning a special benefit for Richie this coming Tuesday, April 22 from 6-10 p.m. They are asking a minimum $20 do-nation at the door or you can purchase tickets at the following locations: The Beacon, Minuteman Press, Mon Ami or the Crow’s Nest. All proceeds will go to his medical expenses. Ronnie Howard and his band, Cruisin’, along with the Flashback 3 band from Seniors Gone Wild (which Richie organized and got started) will provide the entertainment. He also started Island Idol, another popular entertainment venue from past years. He knew how to twist my arm to get me to judge many of those Island Idol events. For more informa-tion, contact Mon Ami at 419-797-4445.

n We want to wish a very happy 50th Birthday to the late Earl Warnke’s favorite daughter (I won’t mention any names). All I can say is that she looks terrific and still knows how to have lots of fun!

Mon Ami holding benefit for Richie Saponari

BY JASMINE CUPPThe Port Clinton Recreation Department and Cham-

pions for Children sponsored Port Clinton’s annual Easter egg hunt at the Ottawa County Courthouse on Sunday, April 13. The Port Clinton Fire Department, Councilman Mike Snider and Tara Crump of the Port

Clinton Chamber and Main Street Port Clinton also do-nated their time to the event.

When the courthouse clock struck 1 p.m., children ac-companied with one adult took to their age specific area and the hunt was on.

On Saturday, April 12, at 2 p.m. Oak Harbor Chamber of Commerce held its annual Easter Egg Hunt. The chil-dren lined up by age group, were given a number and were able to go on the lawn of Adolphus Kraemer Park by the Log Cabin to pick two eggs. After getting their eggs, the children went through downtown Oak Harbor looking for their number in shop windows around town. When they found their number, that business gave the children a bag of candy. Then, at the Portage Fire De-

partment, children were able to visit with Mr. and Mrs. Bunny.

The bags of candy were filled by RVI, the PA system used for the event was donated by Spangler Motors and Boy Scout Troop 316, the Oak Harbor Police Department and Portage Fire Department volunteered their services to make sure the event went safely and smoothly. For more photos of these events visit thebeacon.net.

A true find!! Bright red ruby is the first thing you see fol-lowed by purple tones. The aroma is intense berry jam a mocha with spices and chocolate. Cara-melized sugar finish-es off this heavy Zin-fandel that's worth twice the price.

This Oregon Pinot Noir has twice made the top 100 Wines by Wine Spec-tator. Rated 90 points it is by far one of the most popular choices. A to Z producers relentlessly chase perfection in pur-suit of excellence. Light in body but has a great fruity earthy texture and taste. Perfect for your Easter Meal.

This 2013 Rose is a madcap blend of Merlot, Syrah and Gewurztraminer. The two red grape varietals received a 24 hour cold soak on the skins to give the wine its suggestive pinkness and luscious body. The Gewurztraminer was cold fermented to preserve the ex-otic spice and naked fruit. A fruit laden roller coaster ride of raspberries and strawber-ries, lychee nuts and flowers with a silky smooth finish.

Ca'Momi Rosso di Napa 2012 Napa Valley Blend

A to Z Pinot Noir Menage A Trois RoseCa'Momi Napa Valley Zinfandel

So friendly and ap-proachable with a medium body and de-ceptively rich flavors. A "rosso" - red - blend that shows great fresh red fruits wrapped up on the finish with vel-vety smoothness. You won't believe the price on this wine!

For you, Roseann, pictures from heaven

Today we got to see your little face again. That little smiley face we so re-member and never will forget.

Last night I had a dream. I called up to heaven and asked to speak with

you. I couldn’t wait to tell you. Hey Babe, your mommy is sharing you with us again, as she always did when you lived here with us. She put a picture of you for all of us to see in a story she wrote for you. She said she found your little footprints, which she also shared with us. They brought tears of joy to her eyes. I know that made you happy because I heard a little giggle, “Yes, little Tyler, mommy loves you and miss you so very, very much!”

She went on to tell us she lost your pictures in the fire, but I will tell her what you said, “Silly mom-my, you didn’t lose the picture. I just brought them up to heaven with me! I love you too, mommy, and I miss you very, very much. And when it’s time for you to spread your wings, I will be here waiting. I will show you, mommy, how beautiful heaven is. Tell my brothers Dallas and Dustin I love and miss them too!”

Forever in our hearts, love you all,Aunt Dolly and Uncle “Dau do”Sonia Boy Philip and Mimi too

Lake Erie algaeI’ve lived on Catawba Island since 1960 and have fished

most of those years. I received my Charter Captain’s Li-cense in 1980 and started in earnest catching walleye and small mouth bass. Back then you could catch 20-30 small mouth bass in a day’s charter around the islands. I don’t think one could catch half as many in a week now. Ten fish used to be a daily limit of walleyes; 60 fish could be caught in half a day. Running two-a-days was the norm for most captains until the zebra mussels came in and devastated the walleye population, eliminating all the reef fishing. Nobody did anything to fix this situation, to this date, other than a lot of “discussions”.

While we were wringing our hands, the quagle mussel came in and out numbered the zebra ten to one; they are still thriving on the shoreline. Five years ago the walleye were beginning to leave the western basin; you had to go into Canadian waters to get a decent catch of 10-12 fish. Three years ago they were almost non-existent in Ameri-can waters. Factory farms moved into Lenawee County, Michigan, with 20,000 dairy cows and 10,000 pigs per farm dumping their waste products onto the farm land they bought.

Field tiles to ditches to streams to Lake Erie had nothing to do with the algae problems being experienced in the western waters of Lake Erie. In 2013 I turned down doz-ens of charters because of terrible fishing. I wouldn’t take their money for 2-5 fish in a day’s trolling on the Ameri-can side. The green soup that was out there the past few years just disgusted me to the point that I sold my 30’ Baha Cruiser boat in October and let my license expire.

Herl’s Harbor used to have 12 charter boats docked there. When I left there was only one. West Harbor used to have a continuous line of charter boats leaving Captain’s Cove Marina for a day of fishing on the lake and last year there were a pitiful few that went out. I ran three trips last year because my customers couldn’t believe what I was telling them. July 30 we caught four walleye for seven hours of trolling; Aug. 15, three walleye; Oct. 2, 17 perch for three

guys and we fished every-where. I only charged them $300 a trip. Running to Rondeau Bay for fish was not my cup of tea.

Wisconsin DNR ran an article on dioxins, fluo-rinated compounds and blue green algae. Blue green algae can produce toxins that are harmful to fish. Eating these fish can cause health risks largely unknown. Green pea soup, green or blue paint they described on the water is what I’ve seen in Lake Erie. They recommend, “Choose another water to fish.” I took their advice. Remem-ber the thousands of wall-eye that washed up on the shore in the Catawba area two years ago? The official reason was stress? Really? This lake is not going to fix itself. Are you going to wait for sickness and poison-ing before someone takes some positive action to fix it?

Poggemeyer market studyI just read with astonishment, frankly,

the “Downtown revitalization presented to council” article in The Beacon by Editor Jasmine Cupp. “The market study found that manufacturing, medical, service and food were the growing areas of industry in the area; the highest being food service.” And, “People are coming to the commu-nity; we just need to get them to stay here.” That’s vague. To live? To visit? To what?

“We need to aim towards locals and then to the tourists.” Really? The census in Port Clinton is about 6,000 and 40,000 in Ottawa County. Don’t hundreds of thou-sands of people visit every season to bird watch (Ottawa County is ranked as one of the best places in the country to visit dur-ing migration season), participate in and watch shooting matches at Camp Perry, fish (we have a Cabela’s sponsored na-tional pro-am walleye tournament here), visit the Marblehead Lighthouse (thou-sands of people visit every year-once source said 500,000 throughout the year), see the tall ships, take the Jet and ferries to the islands, attend the Walleye Festival and Arts in the Park, and enjoy the rising number of excellent restaurants and art galleries? They don’t come to get a new physician.

They are part-time residents, friends of residents, people who love the area–bird watchers, fishing lovers, history buffs–not necessarily full-time residents. They are

people who would come all year long if there was a reason to come.

Many businesses literally succeed year after year only because of tourists. There are not enough people in Ottawa County, let alone Port Clinton, to base this initial plan on. Focus on the residents first? Not in my humble opinion. Don’t get me wrong. I live in Ottawa County. I love all of the seasons, including winter, but let’s not disrespect the tourists. Let’s meet ev-eryone’s needs. It can be done.

Why not move the Ottawa County His-torical Society building to the center of downtown or Waterworks Park? Create a museum of sorts. Include a history of Camp Perry (it’s fascinating), partner with Magee Marsh to create a bird migration and fish exhibit. People go to the Marble-head Lighthouse because it’s history. Ot-tawa County has a great historical story. Let’s tell it.

Many people wish there was a venue that would hold more than 200 people–an all year venue. Do it! Have a bird sympo-sium, teach basic boat classes and hunting safety–all in January and February. Make it fun. Add more original public art. Fix the roads. Hire a public relations person for the city/county to create and celebrate the magnificence of the city. There is so much potential here. The bickering must stop and compromise begin.

Devin Kohlman named Chamber’s Outstanding Citizen BY JASMINE CUPP

There was a record number turnout of 180 people at the Port Clinton Area Chamber of Commerce and Main Street Port Clinton’s annual dinner and awards ceremo-ny. The event, which was held Thursday night, April 10, at the Catawba Island Club, honored outstanding busi-nesses, volunteers and citizens.

“Our record turnout is a testament to the great things happening in our community,” said Port Clinton Area Chamber and Main Street Port Clinton President Laura Schlachter.

One of the most moving and tear-jerking moments of the evening was Devin Kohlman winning the Chamber’s Outstanding Citizen Award. The award was accepted by Devin’s mother, Alexis Kohlman, and Devin’s grandfa-ther, Bill Van Der Giessen.

“Devin is looking down and smiling. He helped prove the value of community; how great a community Port Clinton is to live in with your family and friends,” said Van Der Giessen.

Also nominated for Outstanding Citizen were Di-ane Belden and Reggie Langford, who brought Wreaths Across America to our community, and Paul Shaw, who is a very active member and a great contributor to the community.

The Business of the Year award went to Erie-Ottawa International Airport. The airport last year became an international airport and constructed nine new hangars. It shares the field with a prominent museum in the Lib-erty Aviation Museum, and the addition of Griffing flight service adds island flights, flight instruction and mainte-nance. Also nominated were Baumann Auto Center and Magruder Hospital.

The Lighthouse Award is for a business that has made an outstanding contribution to the community. That award this year went to Common Grounds. The coffee shop is

operated by RVI, which provides employment op-portunities to adults who have developmental dis-abilities. Also nominated for the Lighthouse Award were The Liberty Aviation Museum and the P.O.R.T.S. Committee.

Businesses and organi-zations nominated for the Beautification Award were The Bay’s Edge, Friends of the Ida Rupp Public Library and Portage Resale Center. Portage Resale Center was given the award for the best aesthetic contribution to the community. Bob and Linda Snyder were gifted the old Heineman Distributing Company property and its 15,000 square foot building. A grand transformation took place and now the building is a great, usable space that houses the Portage Resale Center.

Ciao Bella Restorante Italliano came away with the Outstanding New Business Award. Ciao Bella is owned and operated by Mel and Barb Ayers. Just as they did with Nagoya, Mel and Barb wanted to bring a dining option to the area that offered something unique. Also in the run-ning for Outstanding New Business were The Cakery’s Bakery and JT’s Catawba Café.

Main Street Port Clinton’s awards were presented to Volunteer of the Year John Madison and Business of the Year Slater’s Madison Street Pub.

The Executive Board and the Board of Directors for

both Port Clinton Area Chamber of Commerce and Main Street Port Clinton held their elections to fill vacant seats in their Board of Directors. For the Port Clinton Area Chamber of Commerce Todd Almendinger of Magruder Hospital and Lance Woodworth of Jet Express were elect-ed and have started their first term. For Main Street Port Clinton Lori Madison of Frederick Agency and Jasmine Cupp of The Beacon were elected and have started their first term.

The Port Clinton Area Chamber of Commerce and Main Street Port Clinton work hand in hand to make Port Clin-ton a thriving, functioning place to live. For more infor-mation on the PCACC visit www.portclintonchamber.com and for Main Street Port Clinton visit www.historic-portclinton.com.

New public radio system goes live

On Tuesday, April 8, Ottawa County announced the replacement of its 25 year old 800 MHZ system with a new P25 800 MHZ radio system. The new radio system has a value of over six million dollars and went live last Thursday, April 3.

“The new system exceeds our expectations,” said Ot-tawa County Sheriff Steve Levorchick.

The new system, that was pro-vided by Harris Corporation and was installed by Cleveland Com-munications Inc., was funded by grants, Sprint/Nextel funds and other financial contributions, without utilizing any taxpayer dollars. Ottawa County worked with Sprint/Nextel through the federally mandated 800 MHZ re-banding order to obtain the sys-tem at no cost to the county.

“The clarity of the system is ex-tremely better than the old sys-tem,” said Communications Ser-geant Jim Lucas, who is the direct supervisor over all dispatching and 911 operations. “We had a problem with coverage inside of buildings before, but with the new system that problem has been alleviated.”

Alan Close of Cleveland Communications said that the new system will still be able to be accessed by at home scanners as long as they have a linear simulcast.

The new public radio system is used by public safety officers (police, fire, EMT), Port Clinton City Schools, Ot-tawa County Transportation Agency, Life Flight, the dog warden and other public organizations throughout the county.

“We didn’t want someone’s safety to be compromised because of an old, failing system,” said Sheriff Levorchick.

Peterson explained that the clarity of the new system reduces the need for repeating information, which saves time. In an emergency, time can make a difference. He also said that another transmission site was added on the west end of the county to help with communication, which was also a problem before.

Pictured, left to right, are Com-munications Ser-geant Jim Lucas, Ottawa County Sheriff Steve Levorchick, Fred Peterson of Ot-tawa County Emergency Man-agement Agency and Alan Close of Cleveland Communications.

Osprey returning to northwest OhioThere are high hopes at Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge

(ONWR) near Oak Harbor. This week a pair of osprey have been working on a nest at a platform in the Blausey Unit of the Refuge. If successful, it would be the first osprey nest in northwest Ohio since 1913.

Ospreys are bright white underneath, with dark brown patches at the carpal joints and a mottled dark brown neck-lace. The bottoms of an osprey’s feet are specially adapted for gripping and carrying fish, as they are covered with short, sharp spines. Average length of an osprey is 25 inch-es, with a wingspan of 4-5 feet.

Like bald eagles, ospreys have faced many of the same crises which decimated their numbers in North America. Though they were quite common at one time, habitat de-struction, poor water quality, agricultural chemicals and pesticides such as DDT resulted in no osprey being seen in Ohio from 1913 to 1996. In 1996, Ohio began efforts to rein-troduce and restore osprey populations, with the goal of 20 nesting pairs by 2010. This goal was achieved well ahead of schedule in 2003, though no osprey nests are in northwest Ohio.

Inviting osprey to ONWRThe Refuge was contacted by Dick Tuttle and Dick Philips

in 2009. Both men are retired science school teachers who have assisted in constructing several osprey platforms in the Delaware area.

The ONWR platform was put up in the recently restored wetlands habitat of the Blausey Unit in February, 2013.

Ospreys feed almost entirely on fish living in shallow wa-ter, making the ONWR wet-lands an ideal location for a nest. An osprey pair began con-structing a nest in July of 2013, but the nest was unsuccess-ful. Now there again is a pair building a nest on the platform, although it is unknown if it is the same pair from 2013.

Whiskey light is onThe Round House Bar on Put-in-Bay flipped the whis-key light on Sunday, April 13, around 2 p.m. The whiskey light reflects the start of the season on the island. Ray Fogg was there to perform while patrons celebrated.

Due to winter holding up progress on the dock renovation at Put-in-Bay, the project will do done later than origi-nally planned.

“We are hoping that C dock will be open by Memorial Day,” said Put-in-Bay Village Administrator Doug Kanu-er. “We expect A dock to be done by the end of June.”

Right now the docks are full of equip-ment and cribs. The roads in front of the docks are only open to foot traffic. There is a pile of steel that is laying in the harbor right now that will be put inside the cribs for the new docks. For more photos of the progress of the proj-ect visit thebeacon.net.

Main Street PC announces Downtown Grants Main Street Port Clinton is pleased to announce

that Downtown Improvement Grants are available for downtown businesses and building owners. The

focus of the Downtown Improvement Grants is to provide financial support to downtown business owners and downtown property owners to improve their property, positively influence economic growth and enhance aesthetic appeal.

These grants are made possible because of the success of Main Street’s fund-raisers, specifically the Walleye Festival. Last year, $15,000 was to four downtown business owners and building owners.

Main Street Port Clinton is striving to promote, preserve, and improve down-town historic Port Clinton as a vibrant center for businesses, entertainment and cultural activities for residents of the community and visitors to our area. Lar-ry Hartlaub, Chair of the Economic Restructuring Committee and Main Street PC Board Member said, “I am really excited about the Downtown Improvement Grant. It is our organization’s opportunity to put dollars into projects that reflect our mission.”

Committee Member Lee Vivod said, “I feel the Downtown Improvement Grant program shows Main Street’s commitment to the community and offers us an op-portunity to put the money that was earned downtown to work downtown with our business owners.”

For more information about the Downtown Improvement Grants, contact the Main Street Port Clinton office at 419-734-5503 or pick up grant applications at 110 Madison Street.

Prescribed fire season at ONWR  The staff of Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge (ONWR) would like to notify the public that they are entering the spring prescribed fire season. The spring prescribed fire season typically runs between April 15 and May 15. During this time frame smoke may be visible above the refuge. Prescribed burning on the refuge is conducted to improve wildlife habitat and reduce the accumulation of fuels that lead to uncontrolled wildfires. Ottawa NWR has historically treated between 100 and 800 acres an-nually with prescribed fire. A prescribed fire during this time period is especially productive for habitat manage-ment and brush control. Local officials have been informed of the planned man-agement actions. Prescribed fire will only be conducted when conditions allow for safe implementation. Any questions concerning the prescribed fire season may be directed to Refuge Manager Jason Lewis or Rebecca Hinkle.

Donna Sullivan’s 100 years

This Sunday, April 20, Donna Sullivan will be celebrating her 100th birthday. Donna (Madonna), who was born on April 20, 1914, is the eighth of ten children born to Corne-lius and Clara Druyor. She married William Sullivan on Aug. 5, 1933. Donna and Bill, who passed away in 1998, had nine children, 24 grandchildren, 46 great-grandchildren and eight great, great-grandchildren. One of Donna’s most difficult times was the loss of her one daughter, Pamela, in 2011. Pam was the wife of John Carpenter, who passed away in 1999.

Donna’s chil-dren and their spouses will be having dinner with her at the Island House on Saturday. After the din-ner, they will be joined by the grandchildren and other wel-come friends to enjoy a birth-day cake baked by the Island House to commemorate the occasion.

Donna has written articles for the lo-cal paper and also served with the “Green

Thumb” program, often serving people younger

than herself. Donna has always consid-ered her children to be her greatest trea-sure. In 100 years,

she has faced many challenges

and had many blessings. If you ask her, she would probably tell you, “They haven’t all been easy, but they’ve all been good!”

Happy birthday, Donna.

The Lakeside Daisy attracts area visitors in MayBY KALEN CAP The Lake Erie Water Snake is not the only local threatened species iconic to Ottawa County. During May, the Lakeside Daisy flowers brighten the Marblehead peninsula in the last remaining native locale population remaining in the United States. This local flower is a native natural wonder that draws springtime visitors to the area as it blooms.

While Kelleys Island has a burgeoning population of Lake-side Daisy blooms annually, that population was seeded there to help the flower species, listed as endangered in Ohio and federally threatened. Restoration efforts by various gov-ernment, nonprofit, and private organizations have kept the delicate Lakeside Daisy from facing outright extinction in recent years.

The nineteen-acre Lakeside Daisy State Nature Preserve is the only native site of naturally occurring Lakeside Daisy under public ownership in the United States. All other sites with the flower have been seeded from another location, of-ten the Marblehead peninsula.

This year, Flora-quest has teamed with the Ohio Natu-ral Areas and Preserves Association to present a two-day workshop on the Lakeside Daisy and its native alvar habi-tat. Event dates are May 12 and 13 with an additional venue welcome at the Lakeside Fountain Inn on May 11. Event speakers include Allison Cusick, retired chief botanist of the Ohio Division of Natural Areas and Preserves, leading a dis-

cussion of alvar habitats and their significance and Jennifer Windus of the Ohio Division of Wildlife discussing rare spe-cies, focusing on the Lakeside Daisy.

In addition to trips to the Lakeside Daisy State Nature Preserve, event guests will also have trips to Meadowbrook Marsh, Marblehead Lighthouse, and a private property that has an alvar habitat and glacial grooves. So, while the Lake-side Daisy is the star attraction, event guests will get a taste of other attractions that Marblehead and eastern Ottawa County have to offer.

An impressive roster of sponsors reveals that the Lakeside Daisy is an Ottawa county natural resource valued through-out the state and beyond. In addition to the Ohio Natural Ar-eas and Preserves Association, event sponsors include the Trust for Public Lands, Cincinnati Wild Flower Preservation Society, Ohio Environmental Council, Ohio Prairie Nursery, Black Swamp Conservancy, Black Swamp Bird Observa-tory, Wild Ones Columbus Chapter, Midwest native Plant Society, and the Cleveland Museum of Natural History. The unique qualities of the Lakeside Daisy and alvar habitats are a valuable resource drawing regard to the greater Marble-head area.

Click it or Ticket starts May 19The Ottawa County Sheriff’s Office will kick

off its involvement with Click it or Ticket on Monday, May 19. The Click it or Ticket cam-paign is an effort throughout the State of Ohio to raise awareness to use seat belts.

Redfern co-sponsors and votes for SB 150

State Rep. Chris Redfern (D-Catawba Island) voted in favor of Senate Bill 150 this week on the House floor. The bill requires the certification of individuals who apply ag-ricultural fertilizer, incentivizes the development of nu-trient management plans for residual farm products, in-cluding soil sediment, and it directs dollars to the Healthy Lake Erie Fund.

“This bill is a step in the right direction to address the harmful algal blooms in Lake Erie and its tributaries,” said Rep. Redfern. “This issue cannot be settled through one bill, but it is encouraging to see the agricultural commu-nity work with the legislature to make meaningful prog-ress.”

Rep. Redfern is a co-sponsor of the SB 150, which passed the House unanimously with support from envi-ronmental groups and farmers.

THE SO-CALLED “EXPERTS” ARE SIMPLY MISINFORMED!

Newspapers are dead?Over the last 15 years, since the proliferations of the internet, paid circulation newspapers have seen their subscriptions drop dramatically, up to 8% per year. That is why you hear “Newspapers are dead”. That’s the bad news. The good news is FREE community papers, like The Beacon, have had ZERO reduction in circulation and readership! Our latest audit shows that nearly 80% of the households who get The Beacon READ The Beacon. PLUS The Beacon is read by over 2 individuals per household. So, while the daily papers have suffered, the FREE communities weeklies like The Beacon have thrived. And better yet The Beacon’s Web Site just gets better and better, updated every day with new community news items. The Beacon was “Hyper-Local” before the term was coined!

So, when you hear “Newspapers are dead” ... don’t believe it! Community papers are alive and well, thank you! And our Web Sites are great as well because we don’t have to worry about losing readership to our own Web Site. All you have to do is sit back and read your weekly Beacon and stay informed about the “good news” happening every day. JohnSchaffner

For my business, Bayside Comfort, we choose to advertise with The Beacon! Here at Bayside Comfort we see the results from advertising in The Beacon, and we continue to do business with The Beacon for this reason. As a local business Bayside Comfort has been operating for over 23 years, and we know advertising is an important part of getting services to our great customers who need them. The Beacon helps us do just that!

Real Living Morgan Realty Group announced this week that Alex Morgan Johnson has received the Premier Ser-vice® Diamond national award for providing superior customer service to home buyers and sellers in Ottawa, Erie and Sandusky Counties.

“Alex Morgan Johnson joins a select group of real estate professionals recognized nationally for providing incred-ibly high levels of customer service to their local clients,” said Real Living Real Estate president Robert McAdams Jr. “With our Premier Service program, buyers and sell-ers are asked to complete a survey evaluating the service they receive and Morgan Johnson received one of the company’s highest rankings.”

To qualify to become a Premier Service Diamond award winner, Morgan Johnson had to receive a minimum 95

percent customer satisfaction rating. “I am absolutely thrilled to receive this award since it’s an independent rating based upon evaluations from those people who matter most, my clients,” said Alex.

Premier Service is one of the most comprehensive and effective customer service programs in the real estate in-dustry. Through the program, Real Living Real Estate’s agents put in writing, up front, the services they will perform. Following the transaction, Real Living Real Es-tate asks customers to honestly rate their performance through a written survey from an independent third party.

Real Living Morgan Realty Group is located at 100 S Jef-ferson Street Port Clinton, OH 43452. For more informa-tion, go to www.MorganRealtyGroup.com.

Ribbon Cutting held for Lilly & Gerts’ new location

The Port Clinton Area Chamber of Commerce and Main Street Port Clinton will hold a ribbon cutting ceremony on Thursday, April 17, at 4:30 p.m. for the grand opening of Cielo Grande, located at 117 Madison Street in downtown his-toric Port Clinton.

Alexis Kohlman, Chris Schaffer, Kevin Lowe and Bill Van Der Giesen are bring-ing the latest and perhaps the most unique addition to downtown Port Clin-ton. Cielo Grande is a Spanish-themed sports bar and restaurant specializing in tapas style dining. The tapas restaurant features small plates of snacks and ap-petizers, encouraging sharing and table conversation. Cielo Grande will have ten beers on tap, a wide selection of wines, homemade sangria and a full bar.

Happy Hour is Monday thru Friday, 4-7 p.m. All house brand drinks (wine, beer, and liquor) are two for one. Cielo Grande can accommodate private par-ties for up to 100 in the upstairs loft. For more information, call 419.967.9084.

At the Annual Dinner on April 10, four individuals were elected by the membership to serve on the Board of Directors for Main Street Port Clinton through the year 2017. They are: Don Clem-ons with America’s Best Value for his second term; Jasmine Cupp with The Beacon for her first term; Lori Madison with the Frederick Agency for her first term; and William Moore with Erie Shoreline Properties who will serve his first term repre-senting the Port Clinton Area Chamber. The newly elected board members began their terms on April 1.

Jasmine, Lori, William, and Don will join the following in-dividuals on the Board: Dana Bacak Lynd with the Civilian Marksmanship Program; Ottawa County Auditor Larry Hartlaub; Roseann Hickman with Perfect Color Hair and Tan; Resident Amy Northrop; Jim Recker with

Gerner Wolf Walker Funeral Home; Aimee Slater-West with Slater’s Madison Street Pub; and Missy Walker with First Nation-al Bank.

Ex-Officio Board members include City of Port Clinton Mayor Vince Leone, Port Clin-ton Councilman Linda Hartlaub and Duane Myers with Lake Erie Shores & Islands.

At the Annual Dinner, John Madison with the Frederick Agency was thanked for his commitment to Main Street Port Clinton for the past six years. His dedication and energy on the Board will truly be missed.

At the March Board meeting of Main Street Port Clinton, the following officers were elected with terms beginning on April 1: Roseann Hickman, President; Missy Walke, Past-President; Aimee Slater-West, Vice-Presi-dent; Larry Hartlaub, Treasurer; and Jim Recker, Secretary.

Redskins Sweep LakotaBY YANEEK SMITH

After winning the first game of their doubleheader with La-kota, 11-2, the Port Clinton Redskins baseball team had to hold off the Raiders to win the second contest, winning, 8-7, to com-plete the sweep.

The second game saw Port Clinton (4-3) use four pitchers be-fore Stone Scott came on in relief to earn the save. Scott, who drove in a run and scored once at the plate, made a key play in the final inning when he fielded a groundball and held the run-ner at third before completing the out.

Max Avis got the win, allowing four runs (one earned) on five hits to go with three strikeouts and one walk in four innings of work. Nolan Smith contributed at the plate with an RBI and two runs.

Port Clinton 11, Lakota 2Trevor Frias did damage at the plate and the mound as Port

Clinton won easily in the first game of their doubleheader with Lakota, 11-2.

Frias had a double, two RBIs and scored a run at the plate and got the win on the mound, going six innings while allowing two runs (one earned) on just two hits. He struck out four batters and walked four.

Dylan Webb also contributed, walking three times and reach-ing base in four at-bats, and Drew Fodor scored a run to help pace the attack.

Port Clinton softball team loses to Old Fort Port Clinton’s softball team fell in non-conference action to Old Fort, 13-3. The Stockaders led 2-1 after the second inning before break

ing the game open with four runs in the third and three more in the fourth. Jordan Magers, who got the win on the mound, went 2-for-3 at the plate with an RBI and three runs. Teammate Krista Ward also went 2-for-3 with a double, triple and two RBIs.

PCMS Athletic Director Bob Polacheck to receive Lifetime Service Award

Mr. Bob Polachek, Port Clinton Middle School Athlet-ic Director, has been chosen to receive a Mac Morrison Lifetime Service Award by the Northwest District Athletic Board. The Mac Morrison Lifetime Service Award is presented to “individuals who have made noticeable contributions (in the area of athletics) to young people within the schools of jurisdiction of the Northwest District Ath-letic Board”.

Port Clinton High School Athletic Director Rick Dominick said, “Bob is well respected in Port Clinton, in the Sandusky Bay Confer-ence, Ottawa County and surrounding area for his professionalism, work ethic and dedi-cation. He has dedicated his life to the Port Clinton community and our school system. He is the epitome of this award. ”

Since starting his teaching career with the Port Clinton City School District in 1974, Mr. Polachek has been one of the most hard-working and dedicated staff members in the school district. Over his career he has coached multiple athletic teams including middle school boys basketball, girls basketball, football, track, cross country and golf. Even with thirty plus years of service, he embraced a brand new industrial technology (STEM–

science, technology, engineering & math) curriculum and immersed himself and his students in the most current technology available. He was the middle school newspa-

per advisor and Midships department chair. As the middle school athletic director and athletic booster trustee, he is a fixture at all middle school and high school athletic events.

Patrick Adkins, Superintendent of Schools stated, “Upon his retirement from the Port Clinton City School System in June of 2012, Bob Polachek continued to not only be in-volved, but also be an active member of our school district team by remaining as our mid-dle school athletic director. After 38 years in education it would have been easy for Bob to walk away but his commitment to the young men and women of our school system is as strong today as it was on his first day in the

district in August of 1974.”Mr. Polachek will be honored at a luncheon at Bluff-

ton College on April 29, where he will receive this award. Superintendents, principals, and athletic directors from the Northwest District will be in attendance, along with representatives from the Ohio High School Athletic Association.

PC DECA fundraising underwayPort Clinton High School marketing students and DECA

members are seeking sponsors for the 2014-15 school year. The reason for the early start is four students are attend-ing the International Career Development Conference in Atlanta May 2-7 and many members will be attending the DECA Summer Leadership Retreat (DECA Camp) July 11-14. Both events need support to help defray students’ overall costs.

Normally Port Clinton marketing students are kept busy securing sponsorships from local businesses in order to attend a Regional Conference either in Minneapolis, MN, or Washington in early December. This year’s DECA chap-ter has set a goal of $7,000 to help defray the cost of the

conference including travel, registration and lodging fees. Also, DECA membership has increased from 24 to over 40 members so a few new DECA Blazers worn at competi-tions will need to be purchased.

Students have been issued an “Apprentice” style chal-lenge putting Juniors against the Seniors to see which group can raise the most money. There are four spon-sorship levels: Platinum at $150 or more, Chief at $100, Redskin at $65, and Indian at $35. Sponsorship forms are available at the PCHS Main Office, the Board of Education Office and online at www.pccsd.net under District News. Forms can also be obtained and questions answered by calling Bill Hollister, DECA Advisor, at 419-260-9068.

B-C-S puts Carroll School in good hands

Schools are centerpieces of the communities in which they are located. Schools are not simply bricks and mor-tar that serve as spaces where young people are educated. Schools also serve as commu-nity centers, and help to shape the identity of the area in which they are located. Based on this belief, the Benton-Car-roll-Salem Board of Education worked to ensure that Carroll School be put into respon-sible and community-minded hands when it made the deci-sion to sell the building after it was closed at the end of the 2011-2012 school year.

In late 2012, Benton-Car-roll-Salem Board of Educa-tion reached out to the Carroll Township Trustees to see if they had an interest in purchasing the Carroll School prop-erty. Following negotiations, the Benton-Carroll-Salem School Board decided to sell the Carroll School building and property to the Carroll Township Trustees for $15,500. The sale was finalized in early March.

Benton-Carroll-Salem Board President Jamie Tooman commented, “On behalf of our Board and school district, we are very pleased to know that the Carroll School property

is in good community-minded and responsible hands.” Judy Peters, who served as principal at Carroll School from

1999 through 2012, commented: “It was indeed a privilege to serve as the principal of Carroll School. The students, staff, and community always worked together to provide a safe, productive, family environment for generations of students to learn. I am so pleased that the building is in the hands of the Carroll Township residents, for I know that the activities within those walls will continue to touch the lives of Carroll residents.”

Superintendent Guy Parmigian concluded that it was a pleasure to work with the Carroll Township Trustees as “good neighbors” to ensure that the Carroll School property will be utilized by responsible owners for generations to come. Parmigian added, “The generations of excellent edu-cation and memories at Carroll School will be honored and will always be part of the rich history of our school district as we build for the future.”

Pictured, left to right, B-C-S School Board members Heather Dewitz, Kim Dusseau, and Jamie Tooman along with Carroll Township trustees Kenny Gyde, Rodney Biggert, and Donald St. Clair, met on April 2 to celebrate the sale of the former Carroll School property to the Carroll Township Trustees.

ICS Journeys with Jesus

Students at Immaculate Conception School in Port Clinton spent time during this Lenten season reflecting on the pain and suffering of Jesus and the new life and hope that was given to them through his death and res-urrection.

Immaculate Conception School first grade teacher, Miss Karly Cross, and kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Su-sie Adams, spent time in church last week with their classes. Father John Missler spent the morning with the kindergarten class as they prayed and reflected on the sacrifice of Jesus. The students visited the Stations of the Cross and took a walk in Jesus’ shoes as they walked through the Stations of the Cross. Students thought about the last days of Jesus’ life and how much he loved them. The Stations of the Cross themselves are usually represented in churches by a series of 14 pictures or sculptures covering our Lord’s Passion. They are meant to be stopping points along the journey for prayer and meditation. The classes took turns reading prayers at each station and reflecting on how they can live as Jesus did, with love and sacrifice.

Father John Missler helps complete the prayer and sticker book that explains the Stations of the Cross with the kindergarten-ers in Mrs. Susie Adams’ class.
