Redskins second in state

By J. PATRICK EAKEN Sports writer It was not very often during the basketball season that Port Clinton went into a game as the underdog.

It happened in front of 13,658 fans during the Division II state championship game at The Ohio State University’s Schottenstein Center Saturday afternoon.

The No. 4 ranked and undefeated PC Redskins had the dubious pleasure of taking on No. 2 ranked Dayton Dunbar.

The Redskins played basket for basket with the Wolverines for three quarters, but PC eventually fell, 64-50.

Port Clinton comes home as this year’s D-II state runner-up — putting the Ottawa County school on Ohio’s basketball map. PC coach Troy Diels, the Associated Press Ohio Coach of the Year in D-II, can ask for little more.

“First of all, I think it was big for our community to experience it,” Diels said.

“I think it’s good for all of our school-age kids, elementary school, middle school and high school, to experience something like this. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

“I’m so happy for our kids and the seniors got to experience something like this. It’s obviously something they will never forget and to go through it with them is an honor for me. And, if it happens to help out our program in the end — great, but I think those other things are more important than that.”

Even though Dunbar finished the season ranked second in the Associated Press poll, it had been No. 1 nearly all season long until losing three of six games just before the sectional tournament started.

Dunbar already had three state championships under its belt. However, for PC it was the first trip ever to a state final.

Wolverine wins this season included a 112-47 rout over Dayton Ponitz and 10647 over Dayton Belmont. In addition, 19

AGRICULTURE COMMUNITY BREAKFAST

Speaker: Get ready for a fight

By ANGIE ADAIR Editor OAK HARBOR — More than 150 farmers, legislators and students attended the 2010 Agricultural Community Breakfast Friday to celebrate the industry and look to the future. That future, according to featured speaker Dr. Leah Dorman — veterinarian, farmer and director of food programs for the Ohio Farm Bureau Federation Center for Food and Animal Issues — could be a rough road.

“We are an industry under attack,” she said.

Dorman was referring to a pending ballot initiative by animal rights groups that seeks standards to protect farm animals.

She said that the initiative’s backers — The Humane Society of the United States and Ohioans for Humane Farms to name a few — are using misleading language to hit voters on an emotional level. Their hope, she says, is to institute unreasonable restrictions on Ohio’s farmers — a move that could be devastating to the state’s farming communities.

Redskins brought the town together

By JOHN SCHAFFNER Publisher Remember when the New Orleans Saints won the Super Bowl a couple of months ago? Remember the “pundits” saying that no city in the U.S. “deserved” to have their team win like New Orleans because of all that they had been through. To a smaller extent, the Port Clinton Redskins’ run to the State Division II championship game did the same for Port Clinton and Ottawa

County.

When the Redskins clinched the Sandusky Bay Conference Championship in February, just about the time the Saints won the Super Bowl, folks around here said, “That’s nice.” When the Redskins finished their season 20-0, folks around here said, “Wow, that’s never been done before!”

When they defeated Perkins for the third time this year to

Port Clinton Police Detective Bob Case sent out a warning this morning about the newest form of highway robery.

According to Case, skimmers have been hidden in gas pumps that are able to read your credit or debit card numbers and your pin. This is then transmitted to a remote unit and cards are made and used to purchase items that get charged to your account.

“I’ve gotten calls from other agencies,” Case said. “It’s going on across Ohio I can tell you that.”

Because the investigation is ongoing, additional details are not available. Case suggests that drivers pay cash for gas whenever possible. Anti-skimmers have not yet been introduced to gas pumps.

American hero makes great Easter wish

I received a wonderful note this week from our genuine American hero, Joe Hrupcho, the last surviving member of Tank Company C and the fall of Bataan.

I have been watching the new HBO series “The Pacific” and you really get a sense of what the jungle warfare in that theater of war must have been like. Anyway, Joe says thank you to all who sent him letters. He received more than 50 cards from family and friends in Ottawa County and more than 400 from the students at Bataan School.

“That was a great surprise,” Joe said. “I also want to thank the many people who expressed their thanks for my part in the defense of America. It makes me proud of the outcome of the war but sorry for the price we had to pay. Let’s all work for a solution to all wars and live in a peaceful

world as God intended.”

Now there is a great Easter wish if there ever was one.

We had 84 correct entries in our Find Wylie contest last week.

Our winner is Sarah Hartley, of Catawba, who found Wylie in the Bob’s Lawn Service ad on page 8A last week. Sarah wins a $20 gift card from Friendship Convenient Stores. We’ll hide Wylie again this week. If you find him, drop us a note at our office or click on the Find Wylie icon online at www.thebeacon.net.

Kelli Rex, of Oak Harbor, for the front of the shirt and Alexis Dedes, of Oak Harbor, for the back of the shirt. Both winners will receive the first T-shirts as well as recognition at the Independence Day Celebration and a spot in the Apple Festival Parade.

Congratulations to the Port Clinton High School boys basketball team, the coaches and head coach Troy Diels for a spectacular winning season. It was great to watch them play. They were really great sportsmen, too, in the way they conducted themselves both on and off the court.

It was a whirlwind journey for the team and their devoted and enthusiastic fans. With each win throughout the regular season, more attention was focused on them. People got interested in the team’s progress. Numerous folks started following the action both at home and away games.

I think it’s safe to say that their efforts unified the entire community in a way that has rarely happened before.

PCHS graduates who now live in other places traveled long distances to come home for the games. People said it was a lot of fun not only to watch the games but reto connect. In many ways it was like a big family reunion. And the Port Clinton fans were loyal through and through.

Many families, like my own, kept out-of-town relatives such as our brother in the state of Delaware informed about what was going on. So even these folks — who could not possibly attend a game because of the distance — kept current on the team’s progress. Other folks came home from winter vacations in southern, warmer regions for the express purpose of attending the final games at Columbus.

It’s been an exciting, energizing time — one that will be remembered for years to come in the annals of PCHS sports. We are all proud of this great team and of the Port Clinton fans who bolstered them with constant support. nnn

Now here is a heads-up. The remainder of this column is devoted to religion. If you are interested in hearing about the events of the first Holy Week and Easter, you will want to continue reading.

Christian believers acknowledge this week and Easter (Sunday, April 4) as the holiest time of the year. Attendance at most churches climbs as people make an effort to get to a service on Easter, the holiest of holy days. It is now that we celebrate the Resurrection of the Lord Jesus. The faith of Christians is this: his suffering and death on the cross and subsequently being raised from death on the third day bought our eternal salvation. Belief in salvation and in the teachings of Christ constitute the basis of our faith.

The Bible tells us what happened nearly 2,000 years ago.

Accounts of the trial, crucifixion and resurrection appear in various formats throughout the four Gospels (Matthew,

Mark, Luke and John) and then subsequently appear in letters and accounts of these events that were written later. So I am paraphrasing here, and drawing on several of sources to tell the story. This, is definitely not an “official” version and should not be construed as such.

After about three years of ministry, Jesus approached his destiny at Jerusalem. He sent two of his disciples ahead from an area near the Mount of Olives and, as instructed, they brought a colt back to him. They threw their cloaks on it and Jesus sat upon the colt to ride forward. Along the road people gathered, spreading their cloaks in his path that he might pass over them. They waved palm branches in the air to greet him. Then the disciples started up a song of praise to God and saying, “Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord.” There were Pharisees in the crowd who heard this and told Jesus to tell his people to stop. But the die was cast; the people could not be stopped.

For, as Jesus said, “if these (people) were silent, the stones themselves would shout out.” We remember this occasion on the day we call “Palm Sunday” or “Passion Sunday.”

It became time to celebrate the annual Jewish Passover Meal and Jesus and his Disciples were partaking of this while gathered in an “Upper Room.” (At this time, Jesus had already been betrayed to the authorities by Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples.) During this meal Jesus girded himself with a towel and insisted upon putting himself into a subservient position by washing the feet of his disciples.

And later he said, “I am among you as one who serves.”

Then, at the end of the meal Jesus took bread and wine and instituted what would later become our “Holy Communion.” In this we now eat a small portion of bread to remind us of the body of Jesus that was given for us on the cross. And we drink a small portion of wine or juice to remind us that the blood of Jesus was shed for us. The bread and wine are eaten for the remission of our sins.

This Holy Communion is a sacrament and we are to participate in it to remember Jesus and the sacrifices he made for us. Today the “annual” observation of this meal usually takes place in the evening of “Holy Thursday,” also known as “Maundy Thursday,” the day before we observe the Lord’s death on “Good Friday.”

Later Jesus and his followers went out again to the Mount of Olives where Jesus prayed. When he returned to the disciples, a crowd of people led by Judas approached Jesus and Judas kissed him. This was the final betrayal. Jesus was seized and led away to the house of the high priest. During that dark night Peter, who had vowed to go even to death with Jesus, denied three times that he even knew him. And those guarding Jesus taunted and beat him.

At daybreak Jewish priests and elders gathered and brought Jesus before their council for questioning. But Jesus deflected their questions. Then they took Jesus before Pilate who asked, “Are you the King of the Jews?” And Jesus answered enigmatically, “You say so.” Pilate said that he could find no guilt in Jesus. Still the crowd insisted, “He stirs up the people … ” So Pilate sent Jesus off to Herod because Herod was in Jerusalem at that time.

Herod questioned Jesus at length but Jesus would not answer. Finally Herod put a robe on him and sent him back to Pilate. Pilate still insisted that neither he nor Herod could find Jesus guilty of anything. “So I will have him flogged and release him.” Then the crowd grew raucous. Instead they asked that Barabbas (an insurrectionist and murderer) be released. And about Jesus they demanded, “Crucify him!” At last Pilate relented to the crowd’s demands.

Jesus was forced to carry his cross. Then a man called Simon of Cyrene was compelled to carry it for him. A great number of people followed along toward the Hill of Calvary. At a place called “The Skull” they crucified Jesus with two criminals, one on either side of him. It was now about noon; darkness came over the land until about three o’clock. From the cross Jesus uttered seven phrases that are related in various accounts. Finally Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Father, into your hands I commend my spirit.”

And then he died.

A man, Joseph of Arimathea, asked Pilate for Jesus’ body, took it down, wrapped it in linen cloths and laid it in a new rock-hewn tomb. These events took place on the day we now call, “Good Friday.” Women who had been with him before and who had followed to witness the death finally left the place and went to prepare spices and ointments.

But on the Sabbath — the next day — they rested, according to the mandates of Jewish belief.

And so we come to the Resurrection. Early on the first day of the week, the followers of Jesus went to his tomb and found it empty. Mary Magdalene, Simon Peter and another disciple found the empty cloths. Thinking the body had been stolen, Mary Magdalene looked into the tomb and saw two angels sitting there. She asked where Jesus had been taken. Then she turned around, saw Jesus standing near and acknowledged that he was the great Lord and teacher that she knew. He was not dead; he was alive.

Jesus instructed her to go to “my brothers” and tell them that he was ascending to his father and their father, his God and their God. All this was done. Later Jesus manifested himself in various ways to his followers again.

He had risen. He had risen indeed. This is our belief and the promise of our own eternal life.

May you have a blessed Easter as you worship in any church of your choice. You will be welcome wherever you go.

THE GREAT MOREL

The Great Morel has graced us with its presence in 2010. 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 heading 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 ephemeral 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!

“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. Nothing 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 taking away the true flavor of these magnificent jewels of the forest.

Thanks and see you in the woods.”

The Beacon

Recently I visited some extremely happy friends who had just moved into a new home. They had purchased a lot, selected the style of home they wanted, and then watched the progress of the various craftsmen who transformed the dream of a house into the reality of a home.

Periodically, they would drive to the site of their future home, look at the progress and take a few pictures for their scrapbook. When I saw them recently they had just moved into their new home and they were extremely happy because they could now look at the house and say “It is finished.” A real sense of accomplishment!

Early one morning, I began the writing of this column. There were visits and appointments and a variety of tasks that captured my attention during various parts of the day. Late in the afternoon I was finally able to look at the typed manuscript and say “It is finished.” A sense of accomplishment!

Two thousand years ago, God’s Own

Son, Jesus The Christ, hung upon a cross suffering and dying for us and, in the last few moments of His agony, Jesus was heard to say, “It is finished.”

Yes, you and I have heard those words before — we’ve all said them before — but never in the way Jesus said them upon that cross — never as a judgment upon an entire life.

Jesus came into the world to show us God’s Love for us in the most meaningful and dynamic way possible and He did that completely with nothing left to be done. Jesus came into the world to pay the penalty for our sins to earn us Divine Forgiveness and Pardon and He did that completely with nothing left to be done.

Jesus came into the world that we might have life and have it abundantly and He accomplished that completely with nothing left to be done. Jesus came with purpose and tasks to fulfill and in the last moment of His earthly life was able to say in a way no one else ever could “It is finished — all has been completed perfectly, fulfilled in its entirety with nothing left undone, it is finished.”

And then Jesus died to rise again three days later with at the drawbridge eternal life for us all.

Three awarded ag scholarships The Ottawa County Agricultural Agencies hosted a very successful Ag Breakfast for producers and businesses in celebration of National Ag Week.

OSU Extension Ottawa County, Ottawa Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD), Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) and the Farm Service Agency (FSA) staff prepared and served the meal.

The event “kicked off ” with Kevin Fox auctioning off a framed wildlife photo donated by photographer, Dave Lewis of Bay Village. Andy Swerlein of Luckey Farmers bid the highest for his table to be the first to eat.

After breakfast, Dr. Leah Dorman shared an update on The Center for Food and Animal Issues. This Center was created with the passing of Issue 2 and engages farmers, consumers and others who have connections to

animals.

To wrap up the morning and celebration of Ag Week, the 2010 Ag Scholarship Winners were announced.

Receiving the $250 scholarships from Oak Harbor FFA Chapter were: • Bret Braun, the son of Bret Braun and Gail Underwood, who will be attending OSU Agricultural Technical Institute in the fall majoring in power and equipment.

• Travis Meek, the son of James and Tammy Meek, will also be attending OSU ATI in the fall majoring in agronomy.

BASKETBALL from 1A times Dunbar scored 70 or more points, including five times in the 90s and five more times in the 80s.

None of that, including the hype presented by Daytonarea media, impressed Diels. PC was prepared to play at the same level or higher.

“These kids are competitors,” Diels added. “They thought we could win that game today. I don’t care who we would have played out here these kids would have believed they could have played with them and beat them.

“That’s no disrespect to anybody else, that’s just how big a competitors these kids are. That’s what they do. That’s why they’ve been so successful. They weren’t in awe. They just found a way to get it done and fight, and they did it.”

The Redskins held their own against Dunbar. PC led 27-26 at halftime thanks to a long-range, 3-point goal at the buzzer by 6-foot-3 junior guard Derek Colston. It was Colston’s third trey of the first half — all of them his patented high-arching shots that hit nothing but net.

At that juncture, Diels felt his team was on track to win a state championship.

“I think we had some momentum going in (to halftime), definitely,” Diels said. “I think most importantly, after our first and second quarter, we knew we could play with them. We felt good about where we were at. We had a belief that we could win that basketball game.”

PC rotated six players, while Dunbar rotated 10. Dunbar often substituted four to five players at a time much like a coach would do when replacing complete lines in hockey.

It eventually took its toll.

Dunbar’s full-court pressure defense, often applied even after a PC defensive rebound, in addition to the Wolverine’s high-octane, fast-paced offense eventually got rocking in the final quarter. Dunbar went on a 15-4 spurt and outscored PC 22-13 over the final 8 minutes to take back to Dayton a D-II state championship.

“I’d like to congratulate Dayton Dunbar on their state championship,” Diels said. “Secondly, I just wanted to say I’m proud of my kids and how well and how hard they competed.

“I felt we were in a good position going into the fourth. I felt good about where we were at and I think we just wore down in the end,” Diels continued. “We made some mistakes that typically we don’t make. Again, I’m proud of the way our kids fought and played hard and gave themselves

Dorman challenged those in the agriculture industry right here in Ottawa County to get ready for a fight.

“We’ve got to connect with the consumer,” Dorman said. “There is no one better able to do it than you people. You’ve got to stand up and tell your story.”

She urged farmers to stay informed, spread the word and invite people to their farms to see for themselves how the operations are run. Suggestions State Rep. Dennis Murray (D-Sandusky) says everyone should follow.

“It is incumbent on all of you to take this message to your neighbors and your friends,” Murray said.

BUYING - BUYING - BUYING Gold is at an all time high 10K Receiving the $500 scholarship for 2010 was Kelly Luckey of Woodmore FFA. Kelly is the daughter of Randy and Beth Luckey and will be attending Stautzenberger College majoring in veterinary technician this fall.

“We kind of wore down cardiovascular hospital! and made a couple crucial mistakes and they really capitalized on it. That’s why Firelands Regional Medical Center was named a Thomson 100 Hospital they are the champions,” for superior performance in the treatment of: Hicks said.

The Redskins finished the Heart Attack Angioplasty/Stenting season with only this blem Heart Failure Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery (CABG) ish en route to a 26-1 season. Dunbar closed 25-3.

Riverview announces Employee of the Year On Thursday, March 18, during the Celebrate Riverview Pig Roast Potluck, Administrator Kendra German and the Ottawa County Board of Commissioners, proudly named Sharon Johnson, R.N., as the Ottawa County Riverview Healthcare Campus 2009 Employee of the Year.

Johnson was born and raised in Genoa and graduated from Genoa High School in 1973. She lives in Elmore with her husband of 37 years, Rick. They have two children and enjoy spending time with their six grandchildren.

Johnson’s career in healthcare began in 1989, when she became a State Tested Nurse Aide. While raising her family, Johnson continued to work full time and began classes at Owens Community College in 1990, earning her associate degree in science

and becoming a Registered Nurse in 1995. Johnson wanted to become a nurse for the satisfaction of helping someone. She said she thought nursing was exciting and after 15 years in the field, still enjoys the excitement of her job.

After two years working as a nurse, Johnson joined the Riverview Healthcare Campus team in January of 1997. She has worked in many different positions and units throughout the campus.

She began her work in the Subacute Unit, then became the Director of Nursing, Unit Manager and is currently a Nursing Supervisor.

“Every department I have worked in has been a fulfilling experience,” she said.

Johnson was voted 2009 Employee of the Year after being chosen as October 2009 Employ-

ee of the Month. Her nomination form read: “Sharon is always willing to help anyone in any way.

She goes out of her way to make residents feel extra special. Takes the time to listen to staff and is always available to both staff and residents. Sharon cares about the staff and residents and those are her priorities while she is on duty.”

Johnson said she likes working at Riverview because of the people. She enjoys working with the staff and getting to know the residents and their families. She said she has met many interesting people over her 13 years at Riverview.

Johnson’s favorite part of her job is “knowing the decisions I make are best for the resident and often times save a life.”

New activities to be offered this summer From black powder demonstrations to construction tours, to battle reenactments to 1812 fashions, Perry’s Victory and International Peace Memorial will offer a slew of new education programs and special events for all ages this coming summer, said Superintendent Blanca Alvarez Stransky.

While some may be disappointed that the actual memorial is closed due to construction, the park hopes to entice visitors to the site with these new programs and special events. “We are looking forward to providing these new activities this summer. The programs offer plenty of opportunities for visitors to learn about the War of 1812 and the Battle of Lake Erie in a fun and engaging manner. And let’s not forget — all programs and special events are free,� said Stransky.

This winter, park staff diligently worked on developing new programs and applying for National Park Service grants to fund the additional activities. “Since the actual memorial will be closed this year, we recognized the importance of providing new learning experiences for our visitors. We do not stop telling our nation’s history just because we are under construction. We develop other methods for sharing the story,� Stransky said.

Every year, National Park Service areas across the country compete for project funding. If successful, park areas such as Perry’s Victory receive additional money to repair infrastructure or launch new programs. In 2010, Perry’s Victory will receive approximately $50,000 in project funding for education programs. The Commodore Perry Midshipmen Junior Ranger Program, the War of 1812 Education Adventure, 1812 Period Fashions, a Web-based junior ranger program, and a construction activity are some the programs funded by these special grants.

Thanks to funding from The Perry Group and Eastern National, the park will host numerous events throughout this summer beginning with Earth Day and the Junior

Ranger Jamboree on Saturday, April 25.

The park will offer several new Ranger programs including construction tours. “The building of the actual Memorial between 1913 through 1915 was an incredible feat and one that needs to be shared with our visitors. We have developed a program that will enable visitors to build their own Memorial using foam blocks.

Visitors will also discover why the nearly 100-year-old Memorial needs constant care,� Stransky added.

In addition, visitors to Perry’s Victory and International Peace Memorial will utilize new digital signs this summer funded with entrance fee revenues generated at the park. The new touch-screen signs will be posted at the entrance to the Visitor Center and throughout South Bass Island.

The signs will feature park and islandwide events, as well as provide visitors with basic wayfinding information. “Even though we are on an island, finding different locations can be problematic for our visitors. These signs will provide information about events and help visitors locate the different attractions on the island,� Stransky said.

For information about the new programs or special events at the park, call 419-2852184 or visit www.nps.gov/pevi. For information about the Memorial construction project, call Stransky at 419-285-2184.

It will soon be time for millions of birds to be migrating through our area and nesting in our backyards. Learning a little more about what birds you are seeing can be a really fun thing to do!

Terra trustees raise tuition for fall semester The Terra Community College Board of Trustees voted last week to raise tuition 3.5 percent effective fall 2010.

“This is certainly not a move we make lightly but we don’t feel we have much choice,” said board chairwoman Susan Starr. “Even with this increase, we are confi-

dent that we will still be among the lowest priced collegiate options in Northwest Ohio.”

In making its recommendation to the full board, the finance committee noted several budgetary concerns the college is facing in the near future.

The hiring of new faculty mem-

bers and additional services required to meet the needs related to double digit enrollment increases highlight the personnel issues while continued investments in the state-mandated energy plan and the unknowns which accompany state subsidies are other major considerations.

The issue of losing federal stimulus dollars for higher education as a whole is huge in fiscal year 2012.

Cost per credit hour will move from $123.84 to $128.17. The total increase in tuition for a fulltime (30 credit hours) Terra student would be about $130 for the

Prom Night Special

Students pick Sara Logsdon as top teacher Sara Logsdon, Port Clinton Middle School Fleet 7 social studies teacher, has been selected as Teacher of the Quarter. PCMS students voted during their lunch periods for the one teacher they thought has been the most influential to them. All students could vote from a ballot with all teachers listed. Logsdon was the highest vote-earning teacher out of the 29 teachers nominated.

Some of the quotes form students on their nomination forms about Mrs. Logsdon included: “She is dedicated to making learning fun,” “She is an awesome teacher” and “She is really cool because she knows how to make you get better grades.” When asked what one word students would use to describe the teacher they were nominating, they said: “awesome” and “energetic.”

Logsdon received a trophy donated by PCMS Student Council, Certificate of Appreciation and gift certificates to The End Zone and Coffee Express. In addition, Logsdon received a “coupon” for one class period to be taught by Carrie Sanchez, PCMS principal.

“Pell Grants, which about 44 percent of our students receive, are increasing by $200 next year,” Starr said. “This would offset the proposed tuition increase for our neediest students.”

Students begin registering for fall semester classes on March 29.

On Saturday, at the ninth annual FIRST Buckeye Regional Robotics Competition held at the Wolstein Center of Cleveland State University, the EHOVE team, No. 2252, walked away with the top prize. Senior A.J. Monday, of Danbury High School, was part of the winning team led by instructors Jim McIntyre and Steve Spriggs and engineer mentors Alex Yeckley of Sierra Lobo, Rich Evans of NASA Plum Brook and James Draper of BGSU Firelands/ Lorain County Community College. The competition this year included more than 60 teams hailing from Ohio to New York to Wisconsin.

The regional win qualifies the team to attend the national FIRST — For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology — championship at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta on April 15-17.

FIRST, founded in 1989 by inventor and entrepreneur Dean Kamen, combines extreme sports with engineering and technology to inspire young people’s interest and participation in science, technology and engineering.

Sponsored by the NASA Glenn Research Center, the event challenges high school students, with guidance from professional mentors, to design and build a competitive robot to play in a game called Breakaway. The game is played on a 27-foot by 54-foot field, with two groups of three teams attempting to earn points by collecting soccer balls in goals or suspending the robot in air at the end of the match.

“The process starts with a kick-off event with an opening ceremony, where we review the rules. Then our next step is brainstorming,” said EHOVE Engineering Technology student Alex Prosser, Bellevue High School.

The members offer up ideas that turn into prototypes that eventually turn into the robot. “The best part is putting it together, then firing it up,” Prosser said. The method seems to have been right, as the group was also won the Innovation in Control Award, for their gyro control, which allows the robot to move in any direction, regardless of which way it’s facing.

Sponsors are: Sierra Lobo (primary sponsor), Riley Contracting, Elektron Forge, John McIntyre Jr., Schlessman Seed Company, Carol Kuns Family, JBT Foodtech, Smart Consortium, Martha Holden-Jennings Foundation and NASA. EHOVE’s Team Mavericks also included students from New London, Huron, Margaretta, Bellevue, St. Mary Central Catholic and Western Reserve high schools.

The property is located in the Chautauqua of Lakeside, Ohio on Lake Erie. Lakeside is a private community in northern Ohio on the shores of Lake Erie. It was formed in 1873 by members of the Methodist Church and remains a church-affiliated vacation resort.
