State officials hit PIB

19th annual Legislative Days shines spotlight on lake issues By ANGIE ADAIR ZAM Editor Elected officials hit the islands last week to learn about issues affecting the Great Lakes and Ohio State University’s research to solve those issues when Ohio Rep. Dennis Murray and Ohio Sen. Mark Waggoner played host to Legislative Days. The two-day event brought the officials together with representatives of the tourism industry and scientists to show them just how

important this area is. “It’s an opportunity to introduce lawmakers from around the state to one of the greatest destinations Ohio has to offer,” said Marc McQuaid of the Ohio Travel Association. McQuaid was among those gathered for a luncheon Friday at Put-in-Bay to wrap up the 19th annual event. “Many haven’t experienced the island and this is a great way to showcase the natural beauty and the economic im-

pact,” he said. Officials were welcomed Thursday by OSU President Gordon Gee before heading to Gibraltar Island and OSU’s Stone Lab. There, they were able to take a trip on one of university’s research vessels to pull a fish trawl and discover what lives under the surface. They also had the chance to speak with scientists and Ohio Sea Grant staff and get the

PORT CLINTON SEES FIRST-EVER FLASH MOBS

The Benson Ford Shiphouse, an iconic and awe-inspiring image on Put-in-Bay, will be featured Aug. 12 on MTV’s new spin-off program Extreme Cribs. The newest edition to the MTV Cribs franchise, Extreme Cribs is a 16-episode series which will showcase homes with peculiar features and design quirks that are unique, unusual, alternative and extreme. From scaling living spaces suspended in tree tops to crawling through cozy caverns built inside caves, viewers will be whisked away to the doorsteps of some the most distinctive dwellings across the globe and meet the families that call these places home. The Aug. 12 episode of the program will include a segment on Put-in-Bay’s Benson Ford Shiphouse which is owned by Bryan and Emily Kasper of Sandusky. The luxurious Shiphouse is the retrofitted front end of the Ford Motor Company’s former Benson Ford (I), a freighter that transported iron ore and related materials across the Great Lakes from 1924 through 1981. After the freighter was decommissioned, the four-story, forecastle was removed and placed on the island as a summer cottage. The home would include the walnut-paneled staterooms, dining room, galley and passenger lounge designed by Henry Ford for his own pleasure while traversing the Great Lakes on business. Towering over the rocky cliffs of the island and jutting out into Lake Erie, the Benson Ford Shiphouse has been featured on Home & Garden TV’s Extreme Homes, the Travel Channel, The British Daily Mirror, Ohio Magazine, the National Enquirer and countless area publications.

Attendees at both Arts in the Park and the classic car show in Port Clinton Saturday were surprised with a flash mob, a group of dancers who put on an unexpected show for the crowds. The music kicked on and row after row of movers and shakers gathered first at Lakeview Park then an hour later at the intersection of Second and Madison streets downtown. Surprised onlookers were quick to pull out their cameras and cell phones to record the action. To check out videos online, find North Coast Flash Mob on Facebook.com.

You know you are from Port Clinton/Catawba when ... For those of you on Facebook, have you heard about the new group: You know you are from Port Clinton/Catawba Island when … ! I got invited last Thursday by Rich Riley who graduated from PCHS in the early 80s. Well, let me tell you, this thing has gone viral! By the time I got back from the Bay Week Regatta, I had more than 800 e-mails with some extraordinary reminiscing. A lot of folks remembering Gem Beach, particularly the Roller Rink

there. Also Enchanted Lake Park, Edgar’s, jumping off the cliff at The Nabagon in Catawba Cliffs, the Spook Light and on and on. There has to be close to 1,000 postings by former local folks from all over the world! Also some frank admissions about stealing the Big Boy from Frisch’s! nnn

Book sale success From July 30-Aug. 3, the Friends of the Ida Rupp Public Library’s book sale was set-up, opening Aug. 4 to the membership and Aug. 5-6 to the public. Receiving from the community over twice the book donations from last year, there was also double the work for everyone. But, due to the extremely hard work of 60+ volunteers, we were able to sell more than 5,500 items with all the proceeds going directly into programs and supplies for the library. I cannot say thank you enough to the community and the volunteers for their support with this important fundraiser. But, I can mention a few people, without whose assistance we would not have been able to open on time. First is the wonderful staff at the Ida Rupp Public Library, especially Lauren Lemmon, who came in early on Saturday morning to help us. In addition, the Library Director Deborah Rossman, Administrative Assistant Amber Rutherford and daily library workers answered questions, retrieved things I asked for and assisted when I needed help. Ladies, you are why we have such an awesome library. A huge thank you to Cathy Schellin, Elisa Schellin, Sue Piacentino, Steve Levorchick and Shelly Carshedi. These vol-

County judge elected president of state association Judge Kathleen L. Giesler of the Ottawa County Probate/Juvenile Court, recently became the President of the Ohio Association of Probate Judges. Supreme Court of Ohio Chief Justice Maureen O’Connor administered the oath of office to Giesler during the judges’ summer conference in Columbus. “I am honored to have the opportunity to lead this association over the next two

years and to work with judges throughout the State of Ohio,” Giesler said. She has served as the probate and juvenile judge in Ottawa County since 2003. The Ohio Association of Probate Judges was organized in 1897 and is dedicated to the improvement of probate law and to the efficient and effective administration of justice within courts having probate jurisdiction.

Cooling program assists with ACs and electric bills With the Summer Crisis Cooling Program provided by WSOS set to end Aug. 31, 337 electric bills and air conditioners have been provided to area residents, outpacing the total provided for the same period in 2010 when 312 households received assistance. Tony Lindenberger, basic needs specialist at WSOS, said since the start of the program on July 1, he has seen a steady increase in the requests for assistance. “Based on the call volume, I expect (August) numbers to increase,” he said. The two-month program, operated by WSOS Community Action Commission, is available to income-eligible households in the four-county area of Wood, Sandusky, Ottawa and Seneca counties. It provides a one-time payment of $175 in electric bills to those households where there is a person 60 years of age or older or, where there is no one over the age of 60, where there is someone who has a medical necessity verified by doctor’s documentation. Only households with these requirements and who meet the income-eligibility will receive assistance. A household may be eligible for an air conditioner if the household has not received one in the past three years and need one due to a medical condi-

tion verified by a doctor. A total of 197 households within the four-county area received electric bill assistance while another 140 received air conditioners. The number of those who received assistance in each county are as follows: • In Ottawa County, 36 households received help with electric bill payments while another 15 received air conditioners, for a total disbursement of $5,029. • In Sandusky County, 65 received assistance with electric bills while 43 received air conditioners for a total of $11,170 disbursements in the county. • In Seneca County, 49 households received air conditioners and 60 were assisted with electric bills. This assistance amounted to $11,742. • In Wood County, 36 received utility assistance and 33 received air conditioners for a total of $7,535 in disbursements. In addition, Emergency Services program continues to certify residents for enrollment in the Percentage of Income Payment Plan Plus for customers of Columbia Gas, the American Electric Power Company, Toledo Edison, Ohio Edison and Suburban Gas. For information, call WSOS Emergency Services at 1-888-441-4327.

Gladiolus growers compete at Lakeside Gladiolus growers and exhibitors from northwest and central Ohio and southern Michigan will be participating in a Gladiolus Exhibition and Competition at Lakeside’s Hoover Auditorium. The event, which has been held at Lakeside for more than 50 years, will take place from 1 to 5 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 13, and noon to 5 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 14. Many different and unusual gladiolus arrangements will be on display. Exhibitors and Gladiolus Society members will promote appreciation of gladiolus growing and assist interested persons or groups in their cultivation and use. Gladiolus is a genus of flowering plants in the iris family. Sometimes called the sword lily, the most widely used English common name for these plants is simply gladiolus. The genus gladiolus contains about 260 species, of which 250 are native to sub-Saharan Africa, mostly South Africa. Although “glads,” as they are commonly called, are used to a limited extent for landscape effect, their chief value is for cut flowers. Gladioli produce tall spikes of large blossoms in a rainbow of colors. Only clear, true blue is missing; white, pink, red, purple, yellow, orange, salmon and even green gladioli are available, along with many bicolors. The wide range of colors, sizes and

flower types make them particularly useful for flower arrangements. This is an open entry show. Locals may bring “glads” on the morning of Saturday, Aug. 13, between 8 and 11 a.m. and will receive assistance in exhibiting. Special classes for novice, intermediate and youth are provided. Come and enjoy the many different and unusual gladiolus cultivars and arrangements. The flowers will be distributed to the public free of charge after 8:30 a.m. on Monday, Aug. 15 on the Hoover Auditorium porch. The show has been organized by Cliff Hartline and the Northwestern Ohio Gladiolus Society. Hoover Auditorium is located at 115 Third St. in Lakeside. Admission to the Lakeside grounds requires a gate fee. 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). The Gladiolus Show and Exhibition is free once inside the gates of Lakeside. A partial day, or three-hour, gate pass is also available for $5.50. To park on the Lakeside grounds or the South Gate Parking Lot, there is a $7.50 auto fee. For information on Lakeside Chautauqua, visit www.lakesideohio.com or call 419-798-4461.

Golf scramble to benefit the BCS Food Pantry St. John Lutheran Church in Oak Harbor will be sponsoring a golf scramble Saturday, Sept. 17, at the Oak Harbor Golf Course beginning with a 1:30 p.m. shotgun start.

Toast of Ohio wine heritage festival Aug. 13

“Heavenly Light” is one of Walfrido’s classic canvases. He will unveil his latest images Aug. 11-14 at Put-in-Bay’s Wyland Gallery on Catawba Avenue.

Walfrido to debut seascapes at Wyland Gallery Romantic realist Walfrido is scheduled to showcase his light-swept images of sea, shore and sky Thursday through Sunday, Aug. 11-14, at Put-in-Bay’s Wyland Gallery, 495 Catawba Ave. He will be on hand daily and by appointment to meet gallery visitors and discuss his inspirations and techniques. He will also demonstrate his artistry by painting captivating new canvases as show attendees watch. Based in Hawaii for many years, Walfrido has found inspiration in the waters and shorelines surrounding the islands. He is widely acclaimed for his mastery of light and shadow. His images feature vividly illuminated seas and skies, fiery mountain volcanoes and streaming lava, tranquil dockside vistas and shores glimpsed from inside flower-edged seaside caves. For information, call the gallery at 419-285-2233 or visit www. wylandkw.com.

The always popular Toast of Ohio Wine Heritage Festival, held annually on Sandusky’s waterfront, is back. To celebrate the area’s heritage as the largest wine-producing region in the nation prior to Prohibition, the one-day event includes wine tasting, gourmet food eating and art show shopping fun. Now in its eighth year, the festivities kick into high gear on Saturday, Aug. 13, at the waterfront Sandusky Bay Pavilion, 605 E. Water St. The event features thirteen Ohio wineries, gourmet food, live musical entertainment and an artist’s showcase. The festival grounds will be open Saturday from noon to 8 p.m. Participating wineries include Quarry Hill Winery, Meier’s Wine Cellars, Hermes Vineyards, Firelands Winery, Mon Ami Winery, Ferrante Winery, Stoney Ridge Winery, Viking Vineyards & Winery, St. Joseph Vineyard, Raven’s Glenn Winery, Maize Valley Winery, Matus Winery and Myrddin Winery. Gourmet food will be available from J. Bistro, Great Wolf Lodge, Sandusky Yacht Club and Sandusky Lions Club. Admission is $5 per person and includes a souvenir Toast of Ohio wine glass and two complimentary wine tastings. Admission fees benefit the sponsoring museums, the Maritime Museum of Sandusky and Merry-Go-Round Museum. Tickets will be available to purchase for exchange of wine tastings and food purchases. Wine tasting tickets are four for $3 and glass pours will vary by vendor. Food offerings will range from $1 to $5. Ticket packages — including a combination of food tickets and wine tickets — also will be available for purchase — ranging from $5 to $20. The $20 package includes admission, glass, 10 food tickets and 10 wine tastings. Wine-related merchandise and souvenirs will be sold separately. A variety of musical entertainment and family fun activities will occur during the festival. Entertainment throughout the day will be provided by The Chefs of Dixie, Brad Walk Trio, and Summer of ‘65. There will also be book signings by authors Claudia Taller (Ohio’s Lake Erie Wineries) and Will and Pat O’Connell (Ohio Lighthouses). The Maritime Museum of Sandusky and the Merry-GoRound Museum, co-sponsors of the festival, will host tours and activities.

Extend your wine weekend with a two-hour sunset wine tasting cruise on the Goodtime I, offered on Sunday, Aug. 14, departing at 7 p.m. at the Jackson Street Pier in Sandusky. Tickets are $25 per person and include appetizers catered by Creative Cuisine, wine and entertainment. The Lake Erie Shores and Islands region once featured huge vineyards that spread from east of Sandusky to the western region near the bay because of the lakeshore climate. The Toast of Ohio event was developed to celebrate the area’s winemaking heritage. Today, dozens of wineries still operate in the region. Other event sponsors include Ohio Grape Industries Committee, Lake Erie Shores & Islands and Buckeye Cablesystem.

Artist reveals latest in island series Rafe Goldbach has introduced his latest painting titled “Mouse Island.” The 12-inch by 16-inch acrylic on canvas is part of a trilogy of Island paintings featuring the artist’s latest style of definitive brush strokes combining to create the illusion of motion while maintaining a whimsical, almost cursive appearance. Many of his paintings, along with a sampling of art from other local and regional artists, are on display at the new Canoe Club Gallery and Wine Bar, located at 5831 E. Harbor Road. The gallery is open daily from 11:30 a.m. to 11 p.m.

MTV from 1A “When I purchased the home in 1999, I never thought it would become a media and television darling,” said Bryan Kasper, co-owner of Kasper Auto Group. “It’s an amazing place and has really taken on a life of its own.” With recent renovations to the first floor, the structure includes a garage and 1,200-square-foot barroom (complete with pool table, slot machine, arcade games and wide-screen TV), six bedrooms, five full baths, a dining room, living room, galley, and, of course, the pilot house which offers spectacular views of the setting sun off the western shores of Put-in-Bay. “I was surprised when MTV contacted me,” said Kasper, “I’m excited to be part of a well-known program with national and mainstream exposure.” Kasper said the host and tour guide of the segment will be the family’s 17-year-old babysitter, Taylor Linden. “MTV said Emily and I didn’t necessarily fit their demographic,” joked the 41-year-old car dealer with two sons. “They featured the whole family, but Taylor is the real star.” The Benson Ford Shiphouse episode of “Extreme Cribs” airs at 4:30 p.m. ET, on Friday, Aug. 12, on the MTV Network.

On Friday, participants chose tours of Kelleys, Middle Bass or South Bass islands. State Rep. Tracy Maxwell Heard (DColumbus) — who said she’s been to Put-in-Bay many times — was among those in attendance Friday. “I’m surprised that each time I come I keep finding new things,” she said. Heard, who serves in the 129th General Assembly as the Minority Whip, said that tourism and continued economic development are major issues for the state. “I hope they leave with a renewed appreciation for our crown jewel,”

Marblehead Mayor Jackie Bird thanks Tom Krivos for his donation while police officers Casey Joy and Aaron Gibson look on.

Life savers

At a recent council meeting, Marblehead Mayor Jackie Bird presented a “Certificate of Appreciation” to Marblehead policemen Casey Joy and Aaron Gibson for performing CPR with an automated external defibrillator to Tom Krivos while awaiting the arrival of Marblehead EMTs at Jill’s Bakery on June 25. Krivos was in cardiac arrest as both Joy and Gibson arrived as first responders while on patrol. Kri-

vos was rushed to Magruder Hospital and then taken to Toledo by medical helicopter where doctors there said he would not be alive today if it weren’t for the immediate treatment he received after his seizure. Krivos attended the July 28th Marblehead Council meeting and gave a $2,000 donation to be shared by the police and fire departments.

Financial Focus

Don’t let downgrade deter you from investing Just when you thought you could take a break from financial drama, following the resolution of the debt ceiling issue, here comes Act 2: the downgrade of the U.S. long-term credit rating. As a citizen, you may be feeling frustrated. And as an investor, you might be getting worried. But is this concern really justified? Certainly, it was news when Standard and Poors (S&P) lowered the U.S. long-term credit rating from AAA to AA+. This was, after all, the first time that the U.S. has lost its AAA status since its initial publication 70 years ago. Furthermore, S&P put a negative outlook on the rating, which means that further downgrades are possible. But despite these developments, there’s no reason to think that the sky is falling in on the investment world. Consider the following: • “Downgrade” doesn’t mean default. Rating agencies such as S&P assign ratings to bonds to help investors measure credit risk — the chance that they won’t receive timely payments. The downgrade to AA+ just means that investors would be slightly less likely to receive future payments than if the bond had an AAA rating. This is far different from a default, which would result in investors not receiving current payments. • U.S. credit rating is still high quality. S&P didn’t change the U.S. government’s short-term credit rating, which applies to debt maturing in less than one year. Furthermore, even the long-term rating of AA+ is still considered high quality. Also, keep in mind that two other major rating agencies, Moody’s and Fitch, both affirmed their AAA rating on the U.S., although Moody’s

has a negative outlook on its rating. • Downgrade was not a surprise. Because the downgrade had been rumored for weeks, the financial markets may have already “priced in” some of the impact. While it’s possible that interest rates may rise, it’s also important to note that similar downgrades of other countries’ debt in the past have not resulted in significant rate jumps. As for the stock market — which was already volatile, partially due to the debt ceiling issue — the negative reaction we’ve seen to the downgrade will likely be short-term. This downgrade should not be as calamitous as we’ve been led to believe. Corporate profits, always a key driver of stock prices, are still strong, and with the market correction we’ve seen in the past couple of weeks, many quality stocks now appear to be more attractively priced — which means it may actually be a good time to look for investment opportunities that make sense for you,

rather than head to the “sidelines.” In any case, you never want to overreact to any one piece of news. If you were to make big changes to your investment strategy, you’d likely incur fees and expenses — and, even more importantly, your portfolio might no longer be positioned to meet your long-term goals. You’re much better off by sticking with a strategy that’s based on your individual needs, risk tolerance and time horizon. This can be challenging, especially in light of the screaming headlines. But remember, although past performance isn’t indicative of future results, the U.S. financial markets have seen plenty of traumas in the past, and have always survived — and, usually, eventually prospered. As a smart, disciplined investor, you can do the same. nnn

New brand name, logos reflect expanded services Otterbein Senior Lifestyle Choices, formerly known as Otterbein Retirement Living Communities, has grown, introduced new services and changed significantly over the past five years. Once exclusively traditional continuing care retirement communities, Otterbein has expanded its ministry to include a wide variety of lifestyle community wellness and life-enriching services, small house skilled nursing and rehabilitation neighborhoods, and regional home health services. The organization has grown and changed and now offers a variety of lifestyle choices for Ohio’s seniors. Each of Otterbein’s senior lifestyle choices has its own unique design and structure, but all still act as one ministry, answering one call, as one Otterbein. The new name and accompanying logo are designed to reflect the full range of services provided by the faith-based, non-profit ministry, yet maintain continuity with the heritage and reputation of Otterbein Homes.

Otterbein’s former corporate brand name, Otterbein Retirement Living Communities, made sense when it was comprised exclusively of retirement living communities. With the traditional continuing care communities joined by new services, new ministries, and with aspirations for additional new offerings in the future, Otterbein has outgrown that name and the range of choices the name implies. “It may be a new name and a new logo, but the Otterbein family is still supported by the strength of 99 years of quality, commitment and an Otterbein passion for enhancing the lives of older persons,” said Otterbein

President and CEO Jill C. Hreben. Acknowledging that rebranding reflects a change and all change takes some time to get used to, she went on to say, “I believe the new name and logo are a big step forward in positioning Otterbein to serve seniors throughout Ohio (or perhaps beyond) for the next 100 years. It allows Otterbein to combine our continuing care communities, our (previously called) Avalon by Otterbein small house neighborhoods, and our regional home health organization, under one umbrella — Otterbein Senior Lifestyle Choices. Changes are under way to outdoor signage, internal support materials, brochures and other collateral, the www.Otterbein.org web site, and will be introduced publicly via newspaper and magazine advertisements in August and September. To learn more about Otterbein Senior Lifestyle Choices, and to view the new branding in action, visit www.otterbein.org or call 1-888-513-9131.

OHIO SEA GRANT

Educator earns honors for outdoor writing PUT-IN-BAY—John Hageman, co-manager at Ohio State’s Stone Laboratory and Ottawa County Extension Educator, received three awards for his magazine writing at the Outdoor Writers of Ohio Conference on May 12. His article, “Dead Zones May Lead to Mayfly Declines in Lake Erie,” won First Place for Best Magazine Article, beating 30 other entries, and he won a Second Place award and an Honorable Mention for two other articles. Dead zones form in areas of Lake Erie over the summer when warm surface water separates from cold bottom water. As animals and decaying algal blooms use up the bottom water’s limited oxygen, there isn’t enough oxygen left to support fish and other animals, including mayflies, which serve as food for important sport fish, like walleye and yellow perch. “Mayflies are canary in the coalmine,” he said. “If there were widespread mayfly deaths one year, that shows we had low oxygen in the lake the previous summer. Nobody is coming out and saying this, but there’s plenty of evidence.” Last July, students working on independent research projects while attending Stone Laboratory classes measured areas with low oxygen in several Western Basin locations around the Lake Erie islands. Later in the month, Ohio Division of Wildlife biologists cited low oxygen as a possible reason for low young-of-year walleye catches in their July trawls. A member of the Outdoor Writers of Ohio since 1995, Hageman has the background to write about outdoor activities from first-hand experience. His love for the outdoors and outdoor magazines stretches back to when he was 13 years old, learning how to hunt, fish and trap. He only had to walk down his street to hunt pheasants and the four days of high school he missed were the opening days of pheasant season every year. Around the same time, he began trapping animals to sell their fur. “I trapped on my bicycle and checked the traps every day until I got a car,” he says. “The magazines I started getting then were a great avenue to teach me new skills and techniques.” He got good enough that one year, he paid his tuition at Ohio State just by trapping muskrat along the Olentangy River. Now, he subscribes to about 30 publications — one from as far away as South Dakota where he used to go pheasant hunting — and writes for a handful, including Ohio Outdoor News and Great Lakes Angler. He saves some and throws away others, but has every issue of Fur-Fish-Game since 1973. “I’ll need to sell some of them on eBay soon,” he says. Ohio State University’s Ohio Sea Grant program is part of NOAA Sea Grant, a network of 32 Sea Grant programs dedicated to the protection and sustainable use of marine and Great Lakes resources.

Pizza House Manager Sue Deak prepares a personal pizza in the oven for Champions participant Haylie Sewell. Also looking on are Gaven Sewell and Justin Wilhelm. Each summer Champions for Children visits Pizza House to make their own pizza.

Summer Champions hit the road One of the many highlights of the Summer Champions Enrichment Camps is the field trips. On Monday, Aug. 8, Champions participants walked to Pizza House for their annual visit. Every summer, Pizza House welcomes Champions for Children to come in and make their own pizza. Sue Deak assisted children in making their own mini-pizzas donated by Pizza House. The children then walked to the Ida Rupp Public Library Community Room to enjoy their pizza lunch.

Thanks to other donations, participants were able to go on several other field trips during the Summer Enrichment Camp program. There were two trips to Put-in-Bay thanks to donated transportation from the Jet Express. In July, a day trip to Greenfield Village thanks to Mike Schenk and the Catawba Island Club donation of Greenfield Village “Fun Money” and bus transportation for the day donated by a monetary donation from Bob and Nancy Hartung. Champions participants

are members of Ottawa County 4-H, due to the partnership with The Ohio State University Extension Office, and had the opportunity to visit the Ottawa County Junior Fair. “We appreciate the support of the community and several local businesses for their generosity that enhance our summer and after school programs,” said Jackie Warnicke, Champions for Children Coordinator. Champions for Children offers Summer Enrichments Camps as well as before- and after-school

child care for Port Clinton City School District students in grades kindergarten through five. Enrichment activities are also provided during the school year for champions participants with the assistance of community volunteers. Champions for Children is a self-supported, after-school enrichment program available through the Port Clinton City School District and receives funding for scholarship from the Port Clinton Kiwanis Club and the United Way.
