Officials put focus on Lake Erie John Kasich became Ohio’s sixth governor to take part in Fish Ohio Day Monday on Lake Erie. Members of the media, representatives of the tourism industry, elected officials and conservation leaders gathered at the Lake Erie Shores and Islands Visitors Center in Port Clinton after a gathering storm cut the trip a bit short. “I don’t think people really understand what we have here in Ohio,” the governor said after a morning fishing for walleye and catching some sheephead. “If we can sell Ohio externally, that’s good for everyone.” The governor also shared his commitment to addressing algal blooms and invasive species threatening the lake. “We are prepared to come up

National Matches begin

By JOHN SCHAFFNER Publisher A lot of people locally are very concerned about what could happen to Lake Erie if the Asian Carp escapes from the Mississippi River basin, swims up the Illinois River into the Chicago Shipping Channel and finds its way into Lake Michigan. The introduction of this voracious swimmer and eater could have long-term ramifications to the eco-system of the Great Lakes as a whole and to Lake Erie in par-

1911 Centennial Collection on display at Camp Perry In celebration of 100 years of the Model 1911, the National Firearms Museum will have a special display at Camp Perry today through July 17. The commemorative exhibit, located in Building 950, will feature pistols that illustrate the path to the very first Model 1911’s and showcase the evolution of the classic design which would change the history of American military handguns. The public is invited to see the display first hand. “The Colt Model 1911 is an important part of American military history and the history of the National Matches at Camp Perry. Each year, more than 2,000 NRA and Civilian Marksmanship Program competitors bring their Model 1911’s to shoot the NRA National Outdoor Conventional Pistol Championships and the CMP Trophy Pistol Matches,” said Mike Krei, Director of NRA’s Competitive Shooting Division. Five of the pistols on display were part of the U.S. Service Pistol Trials that paved the way for the military’s adoption of the M1911. The first is a Luger 1901, one of 1,000 7.65 mm purchased for initial testing by the U.S. Cavalry in 1901. There will also be three 1907 models chambered in .45 caliber in the display, including the Grant-Hammond 1907 Trials Pistol bearing serial No. 1, a Colt Model 1907 Trials Pistol, and the prototype Savage Model 1907, also serial No. 1. The final pistol, critical to the early stages of the M1911, is the Early Colt M1911 with serial No. 4.

Waterworks building might come down

By JOHN SCHAFFNER

Welcome Shooters! The first shot downrange was fired opening the Nation Rifle and Pistol Championships at Camp Perry on Monday. This is truly one of the great traditions of our area that dates all the way back to the early parts of the last century. The Beacon officially welcomes the participants who come from all over the country for this unique sporting event.

Three historical M1911’s used in war will be featured including WWII Marine Aviator, Medal of Honor recipient and former NRA President Joe Foss’ Colt M1911, issued to him in 1943 at Guadalcanal. The next is a Colt M1911 ordered by Admiral Willis August Lee, a Navy Cross recipient and five-time gold medalist shooter at the 1920 Olympics. The final is a Colt M1911recovered from a fallen American serviceman who escaped the Japanese bombardment of Corregidor with 17 others in a small boat that traveled 29 days and over 2,000 miles to Australia.

Port Clinton City Council heard the second reading of a ordinance Tuesday night to move forward with tearing down Waterworks building. City administration has contracted with BEC Associates to do the specs on the building and to engineer the project. “Hopefully September, October we can start to demo,” said Mayor Debbie Hymore-Tester. “What it means for the waterfront development is that we are going to get this site ready to be a shovel

ready site.” The building has undergone asbestos abatement and will be torn down as is. The cost of the demolition has been estimated at $40,000 to $60,000, all of which would come out of the city’s general fund, waterfront development money. Although officials sought funds for the project through the capital budget last year, the mayor said those efforts fell through. City Council will vote on the ordinance later this month.

Sound Off Blood appeal As a physician, I have seen first-hand how blood transfusions can truly help save lives. Right now, the American Red Cross is issuing an appeal for blood donors to roll up a sleeve and give blood because there is a critical blood shortage nationwide. While many blood donors are busy traveling, vacationing or just visiting with friends and family during the summer months, donations have dropped dramatically. Blood donations were at the lowest level the Red Cross has seen in the May and June timeframe in more than a dozen years, while demand for blood products remained steady. The Red Cross needs blood donors now more than ever. All

types are needed, but especially O negative, which can be used to treat any patient. Donors are encouraged to visit redcrossblood.org or call 1-800-RED CROSS to make a blood donation appointment. Thank you for your continued support of the American Red Cross. NurJehan Quraishy, MD/Medical Director American Red Cross Western Lake Erie Blood Services Region Toledo

resentatives honored us, after our first 10 years on television. Many loved the ragdoll characters. The memories came reeling back as the newspapers contacted me for information. Eighteen years later we retired. Our season was over. I am in a new season and enjoying many things since our move to Tennessee almost 20 years ago. God has provided wonderful friends and opportunities for us. My Patches of Life, is really like my costume I wore: patches of a variety of subjects. Today it is a sad patch as I said goodbye to my partner. The happy patch is that she is no longer trapped in her sick body, but rejoicing in her heavenly home. Bev Schwind “Patches”

Patches loses Pockets

Campaign kick off

The headlines in the Sandusky Register read, “Patches loses Pockets to heart failure.” This was referring to the passing of my friend and television partner for over 20 years. Sue Donner and I began a journey through the years as we raised our families and performed for thousands in a tri-state area and sometimes on national television. We were considered pioneers of children’s programming in 1970. We sat at conferences with Kaptain Kangaroo and Jim Henson. We appeared on the Phil Donahue show and traveled to Texas and Virginia to be on television shows. We never dreamed that two housewives, living on Catawba Island, would have the honor of reaching into the lives of so many children. We were blessed that we could have a fun job that allowed us to enjoy a variety of activities and meet many fine people. We spoke to large audiences, skated with Holiday on Ice and were honorary ringmasters for the Ringling Bros Circus. Our kids thought all that was cool as they went with us.

As Sheriff of Ottawa County, I am pleased to announce my candidacy for re-election. I have started to form various committees and am compiling a plan of action for the November 2012 election. As the seated sheriff, running a reelection campaign, there will be a big demand on my time. Therefore it is imperative that I plan ahead for such an important race. The future of law enforcement, both state and national, appears to be deteriorating. As Sheriff, I need to direct my attention to maintaining the effective response that our citizens have come to expect. The Ottawa County Sheriff ’s Office personnel address calls for service and those demands. Their efficiency and professionalism have been demonstrated by their overall job performance on an ongoing basis. We cannot lose the law enforcement structure which currently exists in Ottawa County. As this campaign progresses, I will communicate with the citizens of Ottawa County. I am committed to continuing to be direct in my approach to today’s law enforcement demands and my accessibility to the citizens. Sheriff Robert Bratton

ASIAN CARP from 1A particular. Asian Carp can grow to 3-feet in length and can weigh up to 100 lbs. They consume 40 percent of their body mass everyday in plankton, a key source of the Great Lakes food chain. That is why John Goss from the U.S. Council on Environmental Quality and a number of other officials, including Maj. Gen. John Peabody, the regional commander of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, came to Port Clinton on Thursday to update the local populace on the threat and what is being done to contain it. What the local folks found out was that there is good news and bad news. First, the good news. According to Peabody, a native of Norwalk, Ohio, three electrical barriers have been installed and are now working in the Chicago shipping channel south of the city. Virtually all of the officials from such agencies as U.S. Fish and Wildlife, the Great Lakes Fisheries Commission, the U.S. EPA and the U.S. Geological Survey agency all agreed that Asian Carp, flourishing in the Mississippi River have not gone beyond the electrical barriers and have not found their way to Lake Michigan. Peabody called this “the third Battle of Lake Erie.” First came in 1813 when Oliver Hazzard Perry defeated the British fleet off South Bass Island, the second came when Lake Erie was dramatically cleaned up in the late 1960s and 1970s, and the third is the continuing battle going on now against a major algae bloom and containment of the Asian Carp. “The electronic barriers are extremely effective,” Peabody said. “Of the tagged fish being tracked electronically, not one has gone through the barrier.” Other speakers on Thursday included Gary O’Keefe of the Great Lakes and Mississippi River Inter-basin Study, a group is monitoring other pathways into the Great Lakes, who noted that a lot of data collection is in process right now. John Detmers, of the Great Lakes Fisheries Commission, said “we feel good about where we are now, but we continue to be concerned about the risks.” The growth of the Asian Carp has been enormous in the past 13 years, as females can carry millions of eggs and the species spawns sometimes three times per year. All of the speakers talked about the plethora of ongoing studies under way, which frustrated a number of local fishermen, including Rick Unger, President of the Lake Erie Charter Boat Association, and Mike Matta, a member of the Ohio Fisheries Commission whose family has fished Lake Erie for decades. Their message was, the time for studying the problem is over, the time to take action and force these monsters back to the Mississippi River is now. The response was that a formal risk assessment report would be issued by the collaborating agencies in early 2012. In the meantime, action is being taken in the areas south of Chicago to prevent the Asian Carp from escaping to Lake Michigan. Leon Carl of the U.S. Geological Survey in the Midwest spoke forebodingly about the threat … specifically about whether or not Asian Carp could survive and thrive in the Maumee River or the west basin of Lake Erie. His answer: “Yes, Asian Carp can spawn in Lake Erie and the Maumee River and they do eat green-blue algae, so their food sources here would be plentiful.” Concerns were also raised about Eagle Marsh near Fort Wayne, Ind., and its proximity to the Maumee River. Plans are in place to install a 1,500-foot electronic barrier fence at Eagle Marsh to block Asian Carp from the Wabash River to the Maumee River and Lake Erie. Other concerns included the introduction other invasive species in the released ballast water of lake and ocean freighters. For information on the latest advances of Asian Carp, a website has been established, www.asiancarp.org, which will soon become www.asiancarp.gov. A display about the Asian Carp and a model of the fish created by local taxidermist Mike Pusateri will be on display at the local Visitor’s Center on Ohio 53 North, according to Lake Erie Shores and Islands Director Larry Fletcher.

Watercolor artist Jim Siemer has released his latest piece: Lake Erie Trifecta. According to Siemer, the work is dedicated to his father, also named Jim Siemer. “My dad loves fishing and I have fond memories of fishing with my dad up on Lake Erie. When I asked my dad what were the most popular fish up on Lake Erie, he stated emphatically: Walleye, Yellow Perch and Small Mouth Bass!” Siemer painted the watercolor during the Fourth of July weekend on Middle Bass Island. “I can’t begin to convey how much I love being up on Middle Bass Island,” he said. “I hope this Lake Erie Trifecta Poster will inspire others to visit the Lake Erie Shores & Islands and fish in one of the most beautiful places in the world.” This poster will be available in gift shops around the area next week and is currently available online at LakeErieArt.com.

Kids home from Camp NEOSA Twenty-five children got up early on June 17, loaded up a chartered bus filled with snacks and movies and headed to Camp NEOSA in Carrollton, Ohio, for a week filled with swimming, canoeing, hiking, outside sport activities, arts and crafts and lots of fun. Camp NEOSA — Northeast Ohio Salvation Army — is one of the many programs offered by The Salvation Army-Port Clinton Service Unit. The

camp provides an atmosphere where kids learn skills in developing their physical, social and spiritual needs. To assist in the development skills of each camper, the program is aimed at helping learn good health habits, provides an opportunity to contribute to and receive from a group living experience, and participate in activities that stimulate creativity and foster independence. The Port Clinton Service Unit has provided this oppor-

tunity to approximately 25 campers each year for the past 13 years. Currently, Salvation Army is taking applications for the “Tools for School” program and need bell ringers for our Christmas in July.

Wooden Boat Show and Open Plein Air Art Festival coming to Lakeside A collaborative effort blending the craftsmanship of the Lakeside Wooden Boat Society and the artistic expression of the Lakeside — Open Plein Air Art Festival will create one of Lakeside’s most unique weekends of the Chautauqua season from July 15-17. This three-day event begins on Friday, when plein air artists arrive at Lakeside to paint outdoor landscapes until Sunday. The term “en plein air” means painting “in the open air.” The festival will host more than 30 plein air artists from across the Midwest. Guests are invited to watch them paint. There will be opportunities to purchase artwork with the addition of the Open Air Gallery, located on the pedestrian walkway of Walnut Avenue, between Second and Third streets in Lakeside. The Open Air Gallery will be open preceding the 8:15 p.m. Hoover Auditorium performance from 7 to 8:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. Plein air events will continue Sunday, including a Plein Air Paintout from 1 to 3 p.m. Guests are invited to watch the painters create beautiful landscapes. Children may paint on the Pavilion lawn from 1 to 3 p.m. for a fee of $2. This children’s event is sponsored by Lakeside’s C. Kirk Rhein Jr., Center for the Living Arts. A Wet Paint Sale, held on the Pavilion lawn from 3 to 5 p.m., will display original paintings that were completed by the plein air artists throughout the entire weekend. The Lakeside waterfront will transform into an outdoor showroom of classic wooden boats as these cruisers line the dock and the lawn of Hotel Lakeside at the annual

Lakeside Wooden Boat Show from noon to 5 p.m. on Sunday, July 17. More than 40 wooden boats, each classified based on the year of the model, will be featured. The boats are categorized by: historic (prior to 1918), antique (1919-1942), classic (1943-1975), early contemporary (1976-1984) and late contemporary (past 25 years). The sizes of the wooden boats range from 9 feet to 57 feet. There will be many events throughout the day. Sunday Brunch at the Hotel Lakeside Café, which overlooks the Boat Show, will be available from 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Several food vendors will be offering picnic items in Central Park from noon to 5 p.m. Wally & The Beavs will provide a wide range of music, including songs by Steely Dan, Chicago, Joe Cocker and The Beatles from 12:30 to 3:30 p.m. at the Pavilion. An original watercolor painting by Larry Golba, titled “Wooden Boat Paint Out,” is on display at Lakeside’s Artists-N-Cahoots store, located on Walnut Avenue. A silent auction is in progress for the painting. Visit Artists-NCahoots for more details. Lakeside is a gated community. Three-hour gate passes are available for $5.50; the Lakeside Wooden Boat Show event is free. Free parking is available at Danbury High School; however, no shuttle service is provided from the

school. To park on the Lakeside grounds, there is a $7.50 auto fee. To stay on the grounds longer, guests are encouraged to purchase a daily gate pass ($18 for adults, $12.50 for youth ages 12-18 and free for children under age 12 and guests over age 90), which is valid from the time it is purchased until 7 p.m. the following day.

Underwood’s is back

Restaurant now open on East Second Street

PHOTO BY ANGIE DINE

A ribbon cutting was held recently at the new Underwoods Restaurant.

In 1946, Bob Underwood opened his restaurant on East Second Street in downtown Port Clinton. The establishment has had a number of different owners over the past 20 years or so, but Bob has never been able to completely retire. Now, a longtime Port Clinton-area family has taken over and has brought back the Underwood name, in the same location, next to Underwood Park. They even brought back Underwood himself, if only just to help and advise the new owners. Steve and Lisa Gilleland spent a lot of time this spring working on major infrastructure projects at the restaurant. A lot of stuff needed fixed. They opened in mid-June and maintained the flavor of the old Underwood’s Restaurant but have named

the place “Underwood’s Grill.” Many of the menu items that made Underwood’s a popular eating establishment with locals are back. Breakfast is served all day and Bob’s famous bread pudding is also back on the menu. The Gilleland’s have also brought back family-style meals, particularly popular with seniors. Many of the best lunch items have returned as well. Owners Steve and Lisa Gilleland are both U.S. Armed Forces veterans. Steve is an Army vet and Lisa was in the Navy. Steve was born and raised in Port Clinton and even was a former newspaper carrier for The Beacon. They have seven children and are members of Trinity United Methodist Church.

Thai Restaurant opens in Port Clinton Pattaya Thai and Sushi has officially opened its doors to the public offering a unique dining experience that Port Clinton and the area has never seen before. They feature an extensive menu of items favoring a Thai, Japanese and Vietnamese flavor. Owner Tony We came to the US more than 14 years ago. In 2004 he moved from New York to Ohio and opened the Peking House located in the Kroger plaza. Seven years later, Tony and his wife Suki Lin decided that the area needed a fine dining establishment to serve the best of Asian cuisine. Tony is an expert Sushi chef as well as all types of Asian dishes. The new restaurant, located at the east end of the Port Clinton Plaza on East Perry Street, features a calming and relaxing atmosphere with a large selection of fresh fish. Appetizer specialties include the Pattaya Eggroll and a lettuce wrap dish. The restaurant also offers Thai noodles or Green curry and a full array of seafood, including a seafood soup. The most popular entrees are Thai Eggplant Chicken, Pattaya Thai Chicken, Spicy Garlic Shrimp, Mongolian or Satay Beef as well as Crispy Duck. Local perch and walleye will also be on the menu prepared Thai style. Tony and Suki Lin We live in Port Clinton along with their two children. Reservations are suggested by calling the restaurant at 419-960-7361.

Financial Focus

Is your portfolio like a baseball team? If you’re a baseball fan, you’re no doubt aware that the MLB All-Star Game is being played on July 12. But while you’ll probably appreciate the grace and skill of the players, you may not realize just how much a baseball team can teach you about other aspects of life — such as investing. Specifically, consider the following characteristics: • Consistency — Baseball teams need to be consistent. They choose quality players and must have the patience and discipline to stick with those players during slumps. As an investor, you should choose quality investments and have the patience and discipline to stick with them over the long haul. • Diversification — A baseball team doesn’t have just one type of player — it contains pitchers, catchers, infielders and outfielders. Your portfolio also needs to be diversified because if you own only a single type of investment, and a market downturn strikes that asset class particularly hard, your portfolio could take a big hit. Owning a diversified mix of stocks, bonds, government securities, certificates of deposit (CDs) and other investments can help reduce the effect of market volatility on your holdings. Keep in mind, though, that diversification, by itself, can’t guarantee a profit or protect against loss. • Unity — While a baseball team contains a diverse collection of players, they all strive toward a common goal. And the mix of investments in your portfolio needs to work together to help achieve the various goals you’ve established, such as a comfortable retirement, college for your children and a legacy for your family. To

work toward your individual objectives, you will need to create an investment mix that’s based on your risk tolerance, time horizon, family situation and other factors. • Flexibility — While every member of a professional baseball team is a good player, one might be better than another in a given situation. For instance, a faster runner might pinch-run for someone else. And as you move on in your “game” of life, you will need flexibility in making your investment decisions. As one example, when you near retirement, you may want to reduce your exposure to risk somewhat, so you might decide to replace some — but certainly not all — of your growth-oriented vehicles with investments that can offer greater protection of your principal. • Good management — Even the best group of baseball players needs a manager to guide them and make decisions during a ballgame. And to help you make investment choices during different times in your life, you might benefit from working with a financial professional — someone who knows your risk tolerance, investment preferences and long-term aspirations. You may never find yourself surrounded by the greatest ballplayers in the world — but remembering these traits can help keep your portfolio “in the game.”

Local team headed to state championship Sandusky Legion Post 83 Juniors won the Legion District Tournament for the second consecutive year and will head to the State Championships this weekend in Lancaster. The team is comprised of players aged 16 and under from the following schools: Sandusky, Perkins, Clyde, Huron, Norwalk St. Paul and Port Clinton. The team beat Marysville and Strongsville 8-0 and 8-2 respectively last weekend. Post 83 complemented strong pitching and defensive play with key hits with base runners in scoring position. They will now compete against the best 16 and under teams in Ohio for the state crown. “We have a young,

but experienced team that has competed in many tournaments this year from Indianapolis to West Virginia playing against outstanding competition. This is a fun team to watch as we play very aggressively with hit-and-runs, sac bunts, suicide squeezes, and back door pick offs,” said Head Coach Jeff Rospert. “We told these boys back in January when we started practices that we would teach the game at the D1 collegiate level. I’m impressed at how well the team has responded and retained.” The state tournament begins Saturday at noon and will finish on Monday.

SCHOOLS B-C-S SCHOOL BOARD

Future Facilities Plan to be highlighted in July newsletter Some of the financial issues affecting the district are soon to be known so appropriate decisions can be made concerning District school facilities. The Ohio state budget should be finalized this week. The district will know exactly the loss it will have to absorb due to reduced state funding. Then the board can assess the impact of the passage or failure of the August levy. “There has been little change to the District facilities structure since the three townships merged and the high school was built,” said Board President Rick Bast. “That changed this year with the closing of Rocky Ridge. We continue to look at future consolidations to reduce costs but not jeopardize our excellent academic program.” Superintendent Diane Kershaw indicated that the administration will be finalizing potential facilities restructuring scenarios for board consideration. After the board has an opportunity to review the scenarios, the most viable scenarios will be shared with the public. “BCS District residents should especially read the mid-July issue of The Sampler which will update the public on the future directions being considered by the board,” said Kershaw. “The impact of the success or failure of the August levy will be covered in The Sampler.” Ginger Stayancho, BCS Director of Transportation, updated the board about the busing program. Following is a summary of her presentation: • All kindergarten through thirdgrade students receive training on bus etiquette and bus safety. • Class field trips requiring buses were reduced several years ago and have been consistently low since the reduction. • Bus use for athletic events is fairly constant due to the variety of sports that are offered for both boys and girls during the year. • Bus operation cost savings are being achieved by eliminating some shuttles. • Two buses that 13 and 14 years old need to be replaced so bids are being sought for replacement buses. • Up-to-date video cameras are being placed in 22 buses. The cameras will provide several views in the bus. The cameras will provide additional supervision and safety controls. Andrea Smith, BCS Curriculum Director, updated the board on three aspects of the curriculum. The first update was on the results of the One: One Computer Initiative that was initiated with all fourth-grade students in the 2009-2010 school year. A study of the initiative by Dr. Judy Lambert of the University of Toledo measured four positive results. They were: • There were student academic achievement gains from third grade to fourth grade. • There was improved integration of technology into instruction. • Teachers changed their delivery style towards a more “constructivist” model. • Teachers accessed more resources through the Internet to plan instruction. Smith also reviewed the progress of the Federal Race to the Top Initiative. The administration and staff have formed appropriate teams, outlined the task of those teams and have begun to implement the initiative. Areas addressed include academic standards content, formative assessment, student assessment, new teacher & principal evaluation and staff mentorship. Smith also reviewed the preliminary results of the Ohio Achievement Tests which are part of the State Report Card. The preliminary results

indicate that BCS students as a whole made significant improvements in reading, math and science. The state will announce the final results in August when all schools will receive their State Report Card rating. The BCS district was rated “Excellent” last year. Following are the business actions by the board at the meeting; • Approved the May 18th & May 24th Board minutes • Approved the monthly financial report • Approved a contract with Healthcare Process Consulting, Inc. to process eligible • Approved Medicaid Reimbursable Services for Ohio Medicaid School Program • Approved temporary appropriations for the 2011-12 school year at 25 percent of the 2010-11 expenditure levels • Approved the following as Summer Acorn Alley Staff: Site Directors — Brittany Slauterbeck and Heidi Walterbusch; Program Assistants — Brittany Slauterbeck, Heidi Walterbusch, Samantha Boss and Dawn Peters; Substitutes — Ashlee Auble and Elizabeth Zelms. • Approved Alana Stanbery as a Community Education Site Director & Lifeguard • Accepted the following resignations: Rob Collier — Head Boys Basketball Coach; Michaela Straw — Kindergarten Teacher; Brian Oestreich, Michelle Raugh and Nadine Karsten — Summer Maintenance; Robert Geiser and Kathleen Fic — Bus Drivers. • Approved Allie Dombrowsky as a student lifeguard • Approved supplemental contracts for the following as Summer OGT Intervention Instructors: David Thiel, Lauretta Swint, Tiffany Ahlberg, Scott Schulte, Keith Recker and Mike May • Approved Andy Augsburger and Dan Hoover as summer physical education instructors • Granted supplemental contracts for the 2011-12 school year as listed: Dan Hoover — Assistant High School Athletic Director; Wayne Siefke — Assistant Middle School Athletic Director; Nadine Scott — Athletic Ticket Manager; Dan Hoover — Athletic Trainer; Mike May — Head Football Coach; Doug Slagle, Keith Recker, Scott Schulte and Lou Bosh — Assistant Football Coaches; David Thiel and Rob Schimmoeller — Freshman Football Coaches; Ed Jordan, Andy Augsburger, George Bergman and Eric Parker — Middle School Football Coaches; Renee Goldstein — Head Girls Soccer Coach; Elizabeth Malik — JV Girls Soccer Coach; Laurie Anne Andryc — Volunteer Assistant Girls Soccer Coach; Gina Warnke — Head Girls Cross Country Coach; Eric Buckman — Head Boys Cross Country Coach; Tracy Dresser — Middle School Cross Country Coach; Megan Bodnar — Head Volleyball Coach; Jacki Gezo — Assistant Volleyball Coach; Stephanie Hammond — JV Volleyball Coach; Brittany Slauterbeck and Shannon Gregory — Middle School Volleyball Coaches; Michelle Bloomer —Volunteer Assistant Volleyball Coach; Trisha Bauer — Head Cheerleading Coach; Dani Arebaugh — Assistant Cheerleading Coach; Lynda Mackey — Middle School Cheerleading Coach; Eric Sweet — Head Boys Golf Coach; Bob VanHorn — Head Girls Golf Coach; Eric Dusseau — Assistant Volunteer Football Coach; and Cassie Dornbusch — Assistant Volunteer Volleyball Coach. • Authorized continued participation in the Virtual Learning Academy • Approved the contract for Com-

Edward Jones office holding school supply drive Jeff Chio, an Edward Jones financial advisor in Oak Harbor, is supporting area schools by using his office as a drop-off location for a school supplies campaign. Local residents and businesses may help by bringing in items to the Edward Jones branch office during regular business hours from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. The branch address is 178 W. Water St., Oak Harbor. “As our world becomes more global, competition within our younger generations continues to rise, emphasizing the importance of a quality education,” said Chio. “I’m proud to support the academic development of young minds in this community through this summer’s

school supply donation program. “I’m asking area residents to donate school supplies or volunteer their time,” Chio said. “These donations can add value as one more student will be provided with the appropriate tools to begin or continue his or her learning and development.” The items needed for the school supply drive include: book bags, crayons, scissors, spiral notebooks, wide- and college-ruled paper, pocket folders, pens, No. 2 pencils, colored pencils, erasers, markers, glue (sticks and bottles), etc. Edward Jones provides financial services for individual investors in the United States and, through its affiliate, in Canada.

The State Budget will be approved this week. The impact on BCS by the state school funding adjustments in the new State Biennium Budget should be known this week. Then potential courses of action based on passage or failure of the August levy will be highlighted in the July Sampler sent to every household. The Board went into Executive Session to consider the appointment, employment, dismissal, discipline, promotion or demotion, or compensation of a public employee or official and for preparing, conducting, or reviewing for negotiations or bargaining sessions with public employees concerning their compensation or other terms and conditions of their employment. There will be a special board meeting at 7:30 a.m. Tuesday, July 12, in the board office. The next regular board meeting will be at 6 p.m. Wednesday, July 27, in the board office.
