Tell TalesCongratsTouch of Class
n The Touch of Class A Capella choir from Port Clin-ton High School recently competed in a major re-gional competition, I think in Chicago or somewhere in Western Michigan. Anyway, they WON! That also means that they will be headed to The Big Apple for the national championship, one of only 12 schools in the US to qualify! Quite an achievement! Naturally, it is not cheap to send a bus load of high school singers to New York City, something like $650 per kid. A spe-cial fund has been set up at PCHS to help defray some of the cost. So, send a check or drop one off at PCHS here in the next week. I am sure they will appreciate it.
n I recall back in the mid-1970s how the local Moose Club got behind the highly successful Port Clinton High School Sports teams of that era. We called them the Mooster Boosters! Anyway, the local Moose Club on W. Lakeshore Drive in PC will be hosting a pancake and sausage Breakfast every Sunday for the foresee-able future from 8 a.m. to 12 Noon. $1 of every break-fast will go to support the True Lay Stadium project. You get three pancakes, three sausage links, juice milk or coffee for just $6! Kids 10 and under get a smaller version for just $3.
n Our “Find Wylie” winner this week is Carl Voss of Port Clinton who found our friendly fish hiding in the ad for Howard Hanna on page 5B in last week’s Beacon. He was chosen from among 86 contestants who en-tered our weekly contest. So, Carl wins our weekly $20 gift card from Friendship Food Stores. We promise to hide Wylie again this week, so if you find him, drop off an entry form at our office in the Beacon Place Business Center or click on the Find Wylie Icon at our website thebeacon.net.
n Congratulations to Barbara and Mel Ayers, a pair of outstanding local entrepreneurs have created lots of local jobs with Nagoya and Ciao Bella. They are cel-ebrating two years in business at Ciao Bella this week.
n Gloria Rogers and her team at the local Rite Aid Store in Port Clinton is hosting a special spaghetti dinner with all the fixings this Sunday, April 12, from noon to 5 p.m. at the Catawba Community Hall on North-west Catawba Rd. Adults can eat for $10 and kids 12 and under can eat for just $6. They will have a silent auction, a 50/50 raffle, door prizes and karaoke. All money raised goes to the Children’s Miracle Network.
n The next iPad classes at Otterbein North Shore in Marblehead is this Friday, April 10, starting at 10 a.m. Immediately following, they will have their Lunch and Learn program featuring local realtor Tomi Johnson. Tomi will be speaking on the home selling process. For more information on these programs call Otterbein at 419-798-8254. Otterbein is also hosting their Stroke Support Group on Tuesday, April 21, at 2 p.m. in their Hearth Dining Room. This is a discussion group for any person, caregiver or family member dealing with this life-changing health issue. The presenter will be Laura Miller from Firelands Counseling Services.
n Join us for our next Coffee with the Editor session at Common Grounds held every Wednesday morning at 9 a.m. Each Wednesday we have a small group that discusses local issues and we get good ideas about community news stories to cover.
n Two fresh concerts are coming soon as part of the Firelands Musical Arts Series. On Saturday, April 18, the Kentucky Wonder String Band will perform at 7:30 at Firelands Presbyterian Church, serving up au-thentic blue grass and Appalachian music on Guitar. Then, on Sunday, May 3, renowned organist Charles Manning will perform at 3 p.m. I also heard that Mr. Manning will also be performing at morning services at St. Thomas Episcopal Church in Port Clinton.
n Local resident and armed forces veteran, Bill Payne has had a tough time of it recently. According to his comrades at the Port Clinton VFW Post, he had a massive heart attack, but survived. Unfortunately, he has no unemployment benefits, no health insurance and no income to keep him going while he recovers. So, VFW Post 2480 located at 214 Madison Street is stepping up to hold a special benefit Cabbage Roll Dinner for Bill on Sunday, April 26 from Noon until 3 p.m. The large meal is $10 and a small meal is $7. The public is welcome! As I have heard many times from our local veterans groups… “We take care of our own”!
n Tickets are on sale now for the Taste of Italy dinner and fundraiser hosted by the Ottawa County Repub-lican Party. The event will take place on Friday, May 1, from 6-9 p.m. at the Community Markets VFW Hall in Oak Harbor. Adult tickets are $20 each. Dinner in-cludes appetizers, salad, a variety of Italian dishes, desert and coffee, tea or lemonade. For more infor-mation, contact Pat Shookman at 419-797-4868. The deadline to purchase tickets is April 23.

BY JASMINE CUPPChildren gathered at East Harbor State Park on Satur-
day, April 4, to collect Easter eggs and to visit with the Easter Bunny. There were four categories of ages who took turns collecting 9000 eggs.
Each age group had four tickets hidden in eggs, the ticket holders got to pick from special Easter baskets.
The 7-9 and 10-12 age groups also had tickets to win fishing poles.
“In addition to the eggs, tickets, baskets and fishing poles we held a raffle for a giant Easter basket,” said event coordinator Anna Dodson. “The money raised in the raffle goes to the Friends for East Harbor which will go directly back into the park.”
East Harbor State Park holds Easter egg hunt
BY JASMINE CUPPOn Saturday, April 4, hundreds of children and fami-
lies gathered on the lawn of the Ottawa County Court-house to collect Easter eggs. Before the hunt started, the Easter Bunny arrived to meet children and watch them
collect eggs. The Easter Bunny was escorted by emer-gency services vehicles as he rode in on a City of Port Clinton fire truck.
Children were divided into age groups and were re-leased to collect their eggs.

THE GREAT MORELThe Great Morel has graced us with its presence in 2013. For most
of us we must still wait as the winter hiatus comes to a close, yet there are those few who are beginning to experience the delight. Most must continue to wait in patience for this glorious rite of spring, which brings us the Great Morel. This often unexplainable and euphoric ritual in which we annual partake will soon be head-ing our way. As it news, our conversation of the harsh winter many endured will be replace with conversation of the coming adventures of foraging as we wait for the appearance of the Great Morel.
The Great Morel wishes everyone the best of luck as this ephem-eral of nature we have come to know draws upon us. May everyone’s rewards be plentiful, as you begin the search for the ever-elusive and oh-so mysterious Great Morel!
Less is More...“I know that many people prefer to eat these with
some kind of coating, flour, crackers, etc.In my opinion, Less is More!I usually serve morels with a Red Meat dish. Noth-
ing like Morels and a big fat juicy steak off the grill! I use an Iron Skillet and melt as much butter as needed to cover what shrooms I have. I season the morels with salt and pepper only, maybe season salt if my taste buds desire, but that is all.
Sautee the mushrooms, over medium, heat until desired doneness and enjoy! I feel if you doctor them up too much you are really tak-ing away the true flavor of these magnificent jewels of the forest.
Thanks and see you in the woods.”

I respectfully ask to respond to your article on Robert Putnam:
According to him: Port Clinton is a symbol of how the American dream has morphed into a “split-screen nightmare” that represents “everything gone awry” in our country. Working class kids are “locked into troubled, even hopeless lives.” The rich live in near-million dollar mansions on the lakefront while “neighborhoods just inland have collapsed into poverty.” “Wealthy kids park BMW convertibles in the Port Clinton High School parking lot next to decrepit ‘junkers’ in which home-less classmates live.” Port Clinton has “no sense of civic obligation” and has a history of racism: “The whiteness of Port Clinton in the 1950s was not mere happenstance... there was a lot of racism in Port Clinton.”
Really? Actually, Port Clinton’s con-gressional district has a lower economic inequality index than the national aver-age, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. I could be mistaken, but there are few, if any, million dollar houses in Port Clin-ton. And did Putnam really stake out the high school parking lot to tally the ratio of BMWs to junkers?
Putnam acknowledges he got some flack from Port Clinton’s civic leaders in the aftermath of his August 2013 New York Times article entitled “Crumbing Ameri-can Dreams,” featuring a misleading photograph of the old high school in the process of being demolished. The story goes, however, that when he visited Port Clinton on 2014, he was “hailed as a hero” and that the former mayor “apologized for misunderstanding him.” I doubt that.
In truth, Putnam’s work would never pass peer-review. Take a close look at his methodology: a review of 75 question-naires filled out by his high school class-mates, plus a handful of interviews con-ducted by his young graduate assistant. He even cites HIMSELF as a source of his data. So far as I can tell, nothing was veri-fied and events were obviously cherry-picked to fit the narrative.
For example, he cites a young man re-ferred to as “David” found “hanging in a park” (isn’t that what parks are for?) who’s been arrested for robbery and fired from his job. With his father in prison, he “bounced around, attending seven el-ementary school.” But David must have done this “bouncing around” somewhere else, since there aren’t seven elementary schools in Port Clinton.
Putnam also recounts an unfortunate young woman identified in his New York Times piece as “R”: her stripper mother left her alone and hungry for days and she “wistfully recalls her stillborn baby, born when she was 14.” She pops up in Put-nam’s later works as “Mary Sue” and the stillborn baby she’s wistful about was now born when she was 13, not 14. Although Putnam recently claimed “Honestly, it’s hard for me to tell the story” (pausing, bit-ing his lip), he sure gets a lot of mileage out of it.
Putnam’s antidote for all this misery is more spending; free all-day kindergar-ten, free child care, bigger tax credits, the equalization of school funding, etc. But maybe he should take a hard look at why we have lost manufacturing jobs: the onerous regulations and taxes that have forced businesses to seek more hospitable venues. Instead of blaming Wal-Mart and greedy rich people, facing the unembel-lished truth would be a good first step.

Plans to provide a comprehensive pro-gram for career, college and vocational readiness opportunities for students in Ottawa County school districts, as well as to educate them to career opportuni-ties within Ottawa County just received a boost from a local grant.
The Ottawa County Community Foun-dation has approved just over $19,000 to be awarded to the Ottawa County Busi-ness Advisory Council (BAC). This is the first grant request funded from the recent-ly established Special Initiatives Support Fund for Schools through the Foundation. It will support the initiatives outlined in the BAC Career Development Roadmap.
The Roadmap provides a sequenced Ca-reer and College Readiness curriculum continuum that extends from kindergar-ten through 12th grade.
The Ottawa County Community Foun-dation is a public charitable organization created to improve the quality of life for those who live and work in the Ottawa County area. The Foundation supports a variety of charitable programs designed to address current and emerging needs of lo-cal residents in the fields of education, so-cial services, physical and mental health, safe and positive living environment, nat-ural resources and the arts.
Every year the Port Clinton Women of the Moose have an Easter party for mem-bers’ children ages eight and under. This year’s theme was lunch with the Easter Bunny.
On Saturday, March 28, twenty kids had lunch and pictures taken with the Easter bunny and then had an Easter egg hunt with gift basket prizes.

BY JASMINE CUPPAt Port Clinton Mayor Vince Leone’s town hall meeting
Thursday night at City Hall, the mayor spoke on, what has become a hot topic, the replacing of his former ad-ministrative assistant Jen Porter with Max Upton.
Mayor Leone started his town hall by introducing Up-ton to those in attendance. Upton spoke briefly on his background, former employment and schooling. After Upton’s introduction the mayor made a statement on for-mer employee Porter.
“I have taken a lot of hits for relieving Jen. I am not will-ing to go in depth about that. She is a young woman with a family. She had a chance to fix things. We need to give more respect to her and her family. I will not speak fur-ther on this issue,” said Mayor Leone.
Other questions from the audience then deferred to Up-ton, but were brought back again to Porter by Sandusky Register reporter Patrick Pfanner.
Later in the town hall Pfanner asked Mayor Leone why he was hesitant to grant him his multiple requests for an interview.
“If I say something you’ll put it all over the front page. When you smear me, you smear the City of Port Clinton,” said Mayor Leone.
“You are trying to make this political and I’m going to be honest, I don’t appreciate that,” said Mayor Leone. “I don’t appreciate the Register trying to drag a lady through the mud who worked for the City for 12 years. I know you’re trying to get your interview and I don’t like how the Register reports and I don’t have to talk to you and I’m not going to.”
Later, Pfanner again tried to ask Mayor Leone a ques-tion.
Mayor Leone: You have to understand something. You have already come at me with your conclusions of who I am and what’s going on in the city. If you want to report the news then I will talk to you all day long, but report it. Don’t make up some story to create an illusion of terrible things that are going on. There’s a lot of wonderful things going on in the City of Port Clinton, there’s a lot of bad things that go on in Port Clinton. And if you see me doing something terribly wrong then go ahead, but in this case I don’t feel you had any right. And even though Jen Porter isn’t an employee here anymore, I still have a loyalty to her. I will not let you or anyone else tear her up.
Pfanner: The newspaper isn’t tearing anyone up. Mayor, let me ask you something. You are very interested in get-ting the truth out there; the real story. Then why not grant me an interview to let me know what is going on and all the things behind this?
Mayor Leone: I would appreciate that if you actually printed what was true, but you have already demonstrat-ed that you are not willing to do that.
Pfanner: Well, what wasn’t true?
Mayor Leone: Read your paper, the last three articles that have my face plastered all over them.
Pfanner: Can you name something specific that wasn’t true?
Mayor Leone: The last three papers that you put out.
Pfanner: You can’t name something in the article specifi-cally?
Mayor Leone: I am not going to cite your own articles to you. Like I said, that is your opinion, this is mine. This is Jasmine, she works for The Beacon she asks me ques-tions and I tell her the answers to what she asks. If I can’t answer I will tell you that, it’s that easy. If you need some-thing, submit a public records request. You like to quote Ohio Revised Code, it’s in there. Submit a request to my auditor. He is only required to be here 4 hours a week. I don’t write his schedule. I do not have access to any per-sonnel files. I am not allowed by law. So I cannot give you any of that stuff. So when he gets it to you, he gets it to you.
Pfanner: Well what could have got lost in translation then is that you didn’t inform me that you did any of this. I sat a week; phone calls, emails and I did not hear back from you at all. This could have been much easier if you
would have said “hey, I passed your request along give it some time”. But, I got nothing.
Mayor Leone: I guess there needs to be a mutual respect at some point and time. It doesn’t bother me, I can take bullets all day long. But, when you are affecting other people around me that I represent, I take that very seri-ously.
Dawn Casler: Patrick, you just said something that hit me kind of funny. You just said you didn’t get anything back from him, is that what you said?
Pfanner: I got nothing personally from the mayor.
Casler: Right, you didn’t hear anything one way or anoth-er what he had done. You said, I got nothing. But then you were able to write something… where did that something come from? Did it come from your imagination?
Pfanner: I got nothing from the mayor.
Casler: Correct, but you were able to respond and write something about receiving nothing and by your assump-tion he’s hiding something because you received nothing. So, it sounds like you made something up. That bothers me.
Pfanner: We don’t make any assumptions.
Casler: If you said you had nothing then I don’t know how you could report it.
Pfanner: That is taken out of context, I said I had nothing from the mayor personally. That is what I meant.
Casler: Ok.
Jerry Jonke: Didn’t you turn Jen’s records over to The Beacon and the News Herald?
Mayor Leone: No I did not.
Jasmine Cupp: I never requested any.
Mayor Leone: According to my auditor, Cole Hatfield, he received a request from the News Herald.
Jonke: Maybe that’s the falsehood that he’s talking about then in the Register. The Register didn’t get the informa-tion, but the other two papers did.
Mayor Leone: Because they understood the process. I wrote him an email stating how he could obtain the re-cords.
Jonke: But you didn’t share that information with other newspapers.
Mayor Leone: I cannot, I don’t have access to it. I didn’t give anything to the News Herald and I didn’t give any-thing to her (Jasmine). After Coffee with the Editor she asked hey can I get 15 minutes from you and she walked down here with Max and I. Just that quick, that’s all the time I have I got to go. I have meetings, I have things I have to do. She left and that was it. I didn’t give anyone any public records.
Jonke: I guess what everyone wants to know is, did she get fired?
Three people in the audience responded with “No, I don’t need to know that”.
Mayor Leone: No, let him finish I will answer him. She was terminated.
Jonke: So she was fired?
Mayor Leone: She was terminated.
Besides speaking on Upton and Porter, members of CORD were at the meeting asking the mayor about soil samples collected at Waterworks Park. The mayor an-swered by saying that the studies that he has on file from 2006 were inconclusive and more studies needed to be done.
The mayor also said that he has invited SME to do a presentation at City council to go over the findings of the soil and groundwater studies that they are currently con-ducting.
“The information isn’t being hidden, it is incomplete at this time,” said Mayor Leone. “I don’t want to give a report on information that I don’t have.”
The next Mayor’s Night Out town hall will be held Thursday, May 7.

Mayor Leone defends Porter, confronts reporter
The Ottawa County Engineer’s Office, in collaboration with the county’s townships and the sheriff’s office, has been awarded a $500,000 Local Government Innova-tion loan grant by the state of Ohio in a decision reached Monday and announced by Ottawa County’s Senator Randy Gardner.
The Ohio Controlling Board voted today for the project, which provides support for upgrades to existing facilities designed to support township government and the sher-iff’s office, with services provided by the county engineer.
“This loan comes from a competitive state program, so Engineer Ron Lajti and the townships deserve credit for putting together a solid proposal,” Gardner said. “This allows the county to work even more closely and effec-
tively with its township partners to serve Ottawa County residents better.”
The loan specifically helps the county make structural enhancements to its shop, provide for better storage and maintenance of equipment, a concrete floor and heat and lighting improvements.
“As governmental budgets continue to get tighter and tighter, funding mechanisms like this are absolute life savers,” Engineer Lajti said. “They allow local govern-ments the ability to absorb the costs of making the essen-tial repairs and updates to our aging facilities over time. Without this option, many of these improvements and necessary repairs would not be possible.”

Anglers in pursuit of Lake Erie’s sport fish should experience another success-ful year as they pursue a variety of fish-ing opportunities in 2015, according to Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR).
“Similar to 2014, we expect fishing to be good again this year, especially when you consider the mix of species and sizes that are seasonally available to Ohio anglers on Lake Erie,” said Jeff Tyson, Lake Erie fish-eries program manager for the ODNR Di-vision of Wildlife. “While fishing success will vary among species and seasons, the lake’s population of walleye, yellow perch, black bass, white bass and steelhead are all stable, with a very broad distribution of sizes for each species.”
As a result of the 2015 quota allocation, the walleye daily bag limit is four and the yellow perch daily bag limit is 30 per an-gler in Ohio waters of Lake Erie until April 30, 2015. The daily bag limit will be six walleye from May 1 through Feb. 28, 2016. From March 1 through April 30, 2016, the daily walleye bag limit will be four. A 15-inch minimum size limit is in effect dur-ing the entire season for walleye. The yel-low perch daily bag limit is 30 from May 1 through April 30, 2016, with no minimum size limit. Lake Erie anglers can find wall-eye and yellow perch bag limit information at ODNR offices, in special publications at bait and tackle shops and at wildohio.gov.
Lake Erie walleye and yellow perch fish-eries are managed through an interagency quota system that involves Ontario, Mich-igan, Pennsylvania, New York and Ohio jurisdictions. Each jurisdiction regulates their catches to comply with quotas and minimize the risk of over-fishing these species. Quotas for the upcoming fishing season are determined through consensus agreement by these jurisdictions through the Lake Erie Committee of the Great Lakes Fishery Commission, which were just recently announced for 2015.
WalleyeOhio walleye anglers in 2015 will catch
fish mostly from the 2011, 2010, 2009, 2007 and 2003 hatches, with some fish from the 2008 and 2012 year classes. Walleye from the moderate 2010 hatch will range from 18 to 23 inches, while walleye from the 2007 hatch will be more than 20 inches. The 2003 and 2007 hatches are likely to carry most of the Central Basin fisheries. These walleye will contribute to the popu-lation that has a good number of fish over the 26-inch range. Large walleye from the strong hatch in 2003 will continue to pro-vide “Fish Ohio” opportunities (greater than 28 inches), with this year class near-ing the size that may give Ohio a new state record walleye.
Yellow PerchExpect good perch fishing in 2015, with
the largest fish in the eastern areas of the Central Basin. Perch anglers should en-counter fish ranging from 7 to 13 inches from the 2012 through 2007 hatches in this year’s fishery, with major contribu-tions from the 2012, 2010, and 2008 year classes. Fish from the average-to-better hatch in 2007 will contribute fish in the greater than 10-inch range.
Black BassSmallmouth bass fishing
in 2015 is expected to be fair but improving. Smallmouth bass catch rates increased in 2014 compared to 2013 and were the highest ob-served since the mid-1990s. Smallmouth bass caught should be excellent size (14 to 22 inches, weighing up to 6 pounds). The best fishing for smallmouth bass will continue to occur in areas with good bottom struc-ture, which is the available habitat across much of the entire Ohio nearshore area and islands areas. Continu-ing the trend from previ-ous years, largemouth bass fishing should be excel-lent in 2015. This emerging fishery is producing high catch rates and some large fish in nearshore areas and harbors across Ohio’s Lake Erie. All black bass (small-mouth and largemouth) must be immediately re-leased from May 1 through June 26, 2015. Beginning June 27, 2015, the daily bag limit for bass will be five,
with a 14-inch minimum length limit.SteelheadSteelhead anglers should enjoy another
year of great fishing in 2015 in Ohio’s Lake Erie open waters and in tributaries. Peak summer steelhead action on Lake Erie can be found offshore from June through August between Vermilion and Conneaut, with catches measuring 17 to 29 inches. Most Lake Erie anglers troll for steelhead in deep waters using spoons with divers or downriggers until fish move close to shore in the fall. The daily bag limit remains at five fish per angler from May 16 through Aug. 31, 2015, and two fish per angler be-tween Sept. 1, 2015, and May 15, 2016. A 12-inch minimum size limit is in effect throughout the year.
White BassWhite bass continue to provide excel-
lent seasonal fishing opportunities in the Maumee and Sandusky rivers and in the open lake. The 2015 catch will be domi-nated by fish from the 2012, 2011 and 2010 year classes. Fish from 2007 could be as large as 16 inches. Anglers should focus on major Western Basin tributaries during May and June and nearshore areas of the open lake during the summer. There is no white bass daily bag limit or size limit.
Other SpeciesBays, harbors and main lake shorelines
offer excellent fishing for panfish, as well as occasional northern pike and muskel-lunge in vegetated areas.
Anglers are reminded that fishing condi-tions on Lake Erie can change hourly, and adjustments are often necessary to im-prove success. Anglers should take
Lake Erie anglers should expect good fishing this season

BY HEIDI HUGHESGreat Egrets are large white wading birds with black legs
and feet, and yellow bills. During breeding season, their facial skin turns green - and they grow long white feathers called aigrettes from their backs.
Visitors can spot Great Egrets feeding on fish and other small animals in the marshes at Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge - along the southwestern shore of Lake Erie. These waders make an 18-mile round-trip daily flight between the marshes and their nesting grounds in trees on West Sister Island National Wildlife Refuge – the largest Great Blue Heron and Great Egret rookery in the U.S. Great Lakes.
Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge staff manages West Sis-ter Island as a wilderness area - Ohio’s only federal Wil-derness Area. To protect this vital nesting area, access is permitted for research only.
For more information about Great Egrets stop by the Visi-tor Center at 14000 West State Route 2 in Oak Harbor, or call 419-898-0014. The Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge Visitor Center is open every day (except federal holidays) from 9 a.m.-4 p.m.

All beach clean-ups will be held Satur-day, April 18, at 9 a.m. except for the Ma-gee Marsh beach clean-up which will be held at 10 a.m. Those interested in vol-
unteering at one of the five local beach clean-up events are asked to call and reg-ister.

The Ohio Ornithological Society (OOS) is now accept-ing signups for beginner bird tours during the weekend of International Migratory Bird Day, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR).
The OOS, in cooperation with the ODNR Division of Wildlife, will be conducting beginner guided bird walks May 9 and 10 at Magee Marsh Wildlife Area. The walks May 9 will be held at: 8:30 a.m., 10:30 a.m., 1:30 p.m. and 3:30 p.m. and the walks May 10 will be held at 8:30 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. Walks are limited to 15 participants each and will be filled on first come, first served basis. To signup, applicants should send an email to [email protected]. All emails should contain the ap-plicant’s name, phone number, date and requested time-slot. A return email will confirm the meeting place, date and time.
In 2011, there were an estimated 3.2 million wildlife watchers in Ohio. Approximately 48,000 out-of-state birders visited Ohio in 2011, with Lake Erie being the most popular destination. These groups spent more than $843 million in Ohio in 2011 alone on supplies, lodging,
gasoline, travel expenses, and food. A typical May can see 80,000 visitors from across the country come to Ma-gee Marsh Wildlife Area to witness the spectacle of the spring migration. Magee Marsh Wildlife Area is listed as one of the top 10 bird watching spots in the country.
Birders and others who enjoy nature and want to help fund conservation in Ohio can now purchase the 2015 Ohio Wildlife Legacy Stamp. This year’s collectible stamp features an eastern bluebird. The sale of the Ohio Wild-life Legacy Stamp benefits the Wildlife Diversity Fund, which is used to protect and manage wild animals and their habitats. The stamp may be purchased at wildohio.gov or at any license agent.
OOS is a statewide organization devoted to fostering a deeper appreciation of birds, fellowship and collabora-tion in advancing our collective knowledge, and ability to speak with one voice to preserve Ohio’s bird habitats.

Ohioans wanting to celebrate Arbor Day early this year and support their state parks are encouraged to donate and help plant a tree at one of nine Ohio State Parks on Saturday, April 18. In return for their efforts, participants will receive one free night of camping for each tree they donate and help plant. This is the second year for this tree planting event which celebrates Arbor Day, and growing on the success of last year’s event, nine parks will be participating, up from only four in 2014.
The Ohio Department of Natural Re-sources (ODNR) is encouraging park visi-tors to donate mature native tree saplings and help park staff and volunteers plant them in an effort to replace trees that were affected by the Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) infestation. Some ash trees within the state parks system were removed to ensure the safety of park visitors. The plantings will take place in northwest, northeast and southwest Ohio on Satur-day, April 18, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
The tree plantings will be held at nine state parks: Caesar Creek, Cowan Lake, Hueston Woods and Stonelick in south-west Ohio; Maumee Bay, Mary Jane Thurston and East Harbor in northwest Ohio; and Findley and Mohican in north-east Ohio. State park visitors will receive one free night of camping during the 2015 season at the state park of their choice for each donated mature sapling that is at least 5 feet in height. The promotion is limited to two free nights of camping per family. To receive camping vouch-ers, state park visitors must help staff and volunteers plant the tree. Ohio State Parks requests that people donate native tree species, such as red maple, red oak, burr oak, yellow poplar and beech.
Other volunteers and staff, as well as all necessary equipment and supplies, will be provided at each local state park. In addition to tree plantings, the Arbor Day celebrations will include naturalist-led activities for visitors of all ages. More information is available at parks.ohiodnr.gov/arborday. People interested in plant-ing a tree before Arbor Day are encour-aged to take advantage of this opportuni-ty to plant saplings that will be enjoyed by state park visitors for generations to come and will help improve the environment.
All questions regarding local Arbor Day tree plantings should be directed to the local park offices:
• Caesar Creek State Park - 513-897-3055
• Cowan Lake State Park - 937-382-1096
• East Harbor State Park - 419-734-4424

Award-winning Put-in-Bay author Bob Adamov has re-leased his ninth novel, Miss-ing. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to the Lucas County Human Traffick-ing Coalition and to Second Chance, a Toledo-based tran-sition center for trafficking victims.
Missing continues the pop-ular and growing Emerson Moore series created by Adamov in 2002 with the re-lease of Rainbow’s End, his first mystery adventure thriller. In the newly released novel, investigative re-porter Emerson Moore is again swept into a vortex of high-speed action, mystery and suspense. The story-line takes readers from the friendly island resort village of Put-in-Bay, Ohio in Lake Erie’s western basin, to the streets of downtown Detroit, the pricey island suburb of Grosse Ile, then on to the Florida Gulf coast and back to northeast Ohio.
“My readers tell me that they’d like to sit down in one of Put-in-Bay’s watering holes and have a beer with our good guy protagonist, Emerson Moore. It will be inter-esting to see if their perception changes when they see Moore’s dark side emerge and he commits cold-blooded murder in this new adventure,” Adamov commented.
Adamov will be signing books during the CIC Boat Show May 1-3. Autographed copies are available lo-cally at CIC, Mon Ami Restaurant and Winery, The Great Lakes Popcorn Company, Twisted Sisters Gal-lery, Northern Exposure, New Wave Scuba and Joseph Wise Fine Clocks.
Adamov is well known for his own adventurous travel, which often precedes the footsteps of his strong characters and imagination of his readers. His string of island bestsellers: Pierce the Veil, When Rainbows Walk, Promised Land, The Other Side of Hell, Tan Lines, San-dustee and Zenobia well reflect Adamov’s writing style that has been compared to internationally acclaimed bestselling authors Clive Cussler and Tom Clancy.
For more information or to have Adamov speak at your event, visit: BobAdamov.com or call: 330-289-7616.

The Lake Erie Shores & Islands 2014 advertising cam-paign, that promoted visitation to Erie and Ottawa coun-ties, has been proven to be highly effective at generating economic impact for the region.
Recently released research concluded that the 2014 campaign generated 1.8 million trips that would other-wise not have taken place. These trips brought $151.4 mil-lion in visitor spending and $4 million in local taxes. In other words, every dollar invested in advertising in 2014 generated $146 in visitor spending and $4 in local tax rev-enue for the benefit of Erie and Ottawa county residents.
The research was conducted by Longwoods Inter-national. The firm surveyed a representative sample of adult travelers residing in Lake Erie Shores & Islands’ advertising markets, which include Columbus, Cleve-land, Toledo, Fort Wayne, South Bend/Elkhart, Detroit,
Battle Creek/Kalamazoo, Lansing, Pittsburgh, and Chi-cago. The campaign, featuring the Lake Erie Love mes-sage and song, included TV, radio, digital, print, and out-of-home elements.
In addition to the return on investment data, the study showed that the Lake Erie Shores & Island branding con-tinues to gain significant recognition. About two-thirds of the respondents knew the location of Lake Erie Shores & Islands before they were exposed to the location on a map and more than 40% said they had seen or heard at least one Shores & Island ad. Intent to visit showed about one-third plan to visit Lake Erie Shores and Islands in the next 12 months.
Kim Moore, SVP, Client Services, from Ron Foth Ad-vertising (Shores & Islands’ Agency), commented, “the Longwoods research will be used to help direct future
marketing efforts and also to help establish a bench-mark for our continued work assisting Lake Erie Shores & Islands in building their brand and visitor base. Going forward we are looking to add a layering of research that allows us to better understand our travelers’ vacation habits, increase repeat visitation, and how we can cast a wider net for tourism in the area.”
Joan Van Offeren, Shores & Islands East Executive Di-rector, added that, “data from this research has already been helpful in providing evidence to support our deci-sions on some new advertising approaches in the 2015 plan.”
The “Lake Erie Love” television ad is viewable at SHORESandISLANDS.com.

First round awards announces for district grant program
Eleven organizations received funding to start recycling programs or to buy products made from recycled materi-als in the first round of competitive funding offered by the Ottawa, Sandusky, Seneca Joint Solid Waste Manage-ment District.
The grant program’s main priority is to set up recycling programs for educational institutions, governmental en-tities or non-profit organizations. Any agency applying must have a recycling program in place in order to ap-ply for funds for products made from recycled material. The applicant must match a minimum of 20% of the total project cost and products must contain at least 25% re-cycled material.
Entities receiving funding include• Main Street Port Clinton: $2000 to purchase pic-
nic tables made from recycled plastic lumber• City of Port Clinton: $10,000 to purchase play-
ground equipment made from recycled materials• Riders Unlimited Inc.: $7663 for recycled decking
and mulch made from recycled materials• Schedel Foundation: $7000 for recycled plastic
decking materials and furniture• Ballville Township Trustees: $8100 for playground
surfacing made from recycled rubber• City of Bellevue: $5000 to purchase chain link
fencing made from recycled steel for the city’s dog park
• Calvert Catholic Schools: $1226 for recycled lum-ber to build birdhouses
• Clinton Township Trustees: $9157 for improve-ments to their recycling area
• Heidelberg University: $5789 for patio furniture and trash receptacles made from recycled plastic lumber
• Sandusky County Park District: $5000 to pur-chase recycling containers located at Sandusky County parks
• Sorrowful Mother Shrine: $1600 to purchase re-cycled benches
Amy Drummer, Assistant Director of the Solid Waste District, administers the grant program and sees the di-rect benefits to the community.
“These grants provide an opportunity for local organi-zations to create and expand recycling programs,” said Drummer. “The purchase of recycled products provides the public examples of items that are made from the ma-terials they recycle every day.”
The next funding round deadline for the Competitive Funding Program is June 30, 2015. The grant application is available online, however, grant applicants are required to attend a meeting prior to submitting an application. The purpose of the meeting is to explain what informa-tion is needed to properly fill out the grant application form. The next meeting will be held Wednesday, May 27, at 10 a.m. The meeting will be located at the District’s main office, 1875 E. State Street, Fremont. Registration for the meeting is required.
For more information or to register for the meeting, contact Assistant Director, Amy Drummber, at 888-850-7224 or [email protected].

Donna Lueke has written a children’s book based on the popular Tin Goose air-plane located at the Liberty Aviation Mu-seum. The title of this new book is “Chita the Tin Goose, a mostly True Story”
The Liberty Aviation Museum contact-ed Jodie McCallum to illustrate the book. Jodie read Donna’s manuscript and agreed to proceed with the initial sketches for this 32 page hardbound book. Donna has included the history of this plane from its creation in Dearborn, MI, to its present home in Port Clinton, based on facts de-rived from James Larkins “The Ford Tri-Motor, 1926-1992.” Donna has also incor-porated a very whimsical storyline about “Chita,” that will keep the youngsters in-terest throughout the book.
The book is scheduled to be released for Christmas sales at the Liberty Aviation Museum’s gift shop later this year, and will be offered to several hundred other
Aviation Museums across the country. Plans are also being made to offer presen-tations of the creative process that goes into producing a book. Jodie & Donna will be available to discuss and display the rough manuscript and sketches, and fin-ished full color artwork to Tour Groups and School Groups within the museum and at designated locations, throughout the Shores & Islands later this fall.
Grant and Jodie McCallum have been contracted to develop over 60 children’s books that have been distributed nation-wide over the past 40 years. The unique-ness of this particular book is the fact that in all of those years the McCallum’s have never worked with a local author on any other book.
For more information contact the Lib-erty Aviation Museum at 419-732-0234 or McCallum Design Studios at 419-341-4508. Donna Lueke (left) and Jodie McCallum (right) going over ideas for the children’s book.
