Work continues on Bataan addition, new middle school

By ANGIE ADAIR ZAM Editor Dust continues to fly on the grounds of Bataan Elementary and the campus of the future Port Clinton Middle School as construction projects move forward on new and improved facilities.

“Overall we are on schedule,” said Pat Adkins, superintendent of Port Clinton City Schools. In fact, according to Adkins, the new middle school is two to three weeks ahead of schedule.

Both the middle school and the addition to Bataan will

be completed by the start of the 2012-2013 school year.

“Hopefully a year from now we are all celebrating new, state-of-the-art schools,” Adkins said.

City drying out after flooding After more than 6 inches of rain fell in as many hours Sunday, parts of Port Clinton were left under water. Rising floodwaters around the city soaked basements, filled up streets and even the lobby of the local hospital.

Magruder Hospital experienced ankle-deep flooding in the main lobby and had 1 inch of water throughout the Imaging Department. The Emergency Department remained dry throughout the ordeal.

Backup battery-powered equipment and lights enabled the hospital to treat approximately eight patients in the Emergency Department for minor injuries in the Emergency Department during this main power shutdown.

According to the Magruder’s Director of Marketing and Public Relations Lis Brand, EMS squads were diverted primarily due to the state of the emergency declaration by the city of Port Clinton. Three inpatients were discharged and the other three were sent to area hospitals because of the decision to shut the power off in the hospital.

“It was the fast response of our emergency services personnel in the area, including the Port Clinton Fire Department, and our employees that kept the damage at a minimum. Our ER and inpatient staffs followed their protocols and did a great job with our patients,” said Lis Brand, Magruder’s director of marketing/public relations.

The decision to shut down power at the hospital was made due to fast-rising water levels in the electrical distribution room. Magruder was without power for approximately three hours

Emergency responders did a great job Sunday Last Sunday, I seriously thought about building an Ark! I know for sure that the local emergency responders had a very busy day dealing with 6 inches of rain in six hours. We have a few flooded basements for sure and power at Magruder Hospital had to be shut down for a time, but everything is back up and running there. Everybody involved did a great job! nnn

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has removed the Lake Erie watersnake from the Federal List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife. The snake becomes the 23rd species to be delisted due to recovery.

“Today the Lake Erie watersnake joins species such as the bald eagle, the American alligator, and the peregrine falcon that have rebounded from the threat of extinction and no longer require the protection of the Endangered Species Act,” said Ken Salazar, Secretary of the Interior. “These species — and the hundreds of others whose extinction has been prevented by the Act — are living testimonies to its ability to bring species back from the brink by protecting them and conserving and restoring their habitat.”

The Service listed the Lake Erie watersnake — a harmless species found on offshore islands in western Lake Erie in Ohio and

In cooperation with the Ohio Department of Natural Resources Division of Wildlife and other partners, biologists worked to minimize and reduce the threats to the snake by sustaining and protecting sum-

Dear Catawba residents

We are already into a busy season at Dr. John E. Braun Memorial Park. This will be the 41st year the park has opened for the many uses available to the community. For those not familiar with or who have not taken the time to drive back into the park, please be advised there are baseball diamonds, soccer fields, basketball and tennis courts as well as playground equipment. There is also a very nice shelter house with electricity and water available for reunions, picnics, family gatherings and other functions. To make reservations, please call 419-357-2634, This park operates without Catawba Island Township, county or state funds. We operate only and solely through donations and volunteers by area residents. Therefore, by copy of this letter, we again offer opportunities to participate in this most worthy endeavor in our midst. Thanks to the generosity in years past we were able to move forward and provide the needs of the community and offer safer grounds for the area children.

We have just purchased a front end loader to update current operating equipment and are looking to erect a new 30x40 equipment building to streamline park maintenance, keep all park and youth sports equipment under one roof.

Total cost is estimated at $35,000. A concession stand is also being considered as part of the facility. Your participation is critical for the park to survive in the years to come and especially with these above-mentioned plans to proceed.

Please send any/all tax deductible donations to Dr. John E. Braun Memorial Park, P.O. Box 207, Port Clinton, OH 43452. Thank you in advance for any consideration given this appeal.

A little over two years ago Port Clinton was deluged with heavy rains which flooded streets, basements and even our hospital.

This last Sunday, it happened again.

Granted that we received a “ton” of rain. Granted that our storm sewer system is antiquated and not fully capable of handling such an amount of rain.

But consider how much better the storm water runoff would have been if our sewer grates and the sewers themselves weren’t hampered, clogged and blocked with debris.

It’s long past time that our citizens stopped treating our streets as garbage cans. People who blow their lawn clippings in the street are littering — joining the ranks of those who throw fast food packaging, plastic bottles and cigarette butts in the street.

We have anti-litter laws on the books — shouldn’t we start enforcing them?

Can we ask our neighbors to be a little more considerate? To just think about the consequences of their thoughtless actions?

While these inconsiderate people may not be the sole cause of our flooding problems, why should they be contributing to them at all?

And, if you don’t feel like confronting these people,

tear this letter out of The Beacon and mail it to them — we can only hope that they’ll get the idea?

Awesome efforts

I’d like to take a moment to offer you my unique perspective on the men and women of our area’s emergency services and share with you what I witnessed on Sunday, Aug. 14.

Tipping my hat, offering a standing ovation, yelling hiphip-hurray or all of the other methods of showing phrase actions above and beyond just don’t seem to be enough. As I see it, our area’s emergency services and the individuals who serve are the best example of what this community represents. Their coordinated efforts on Sunday were awesome to witness.

That day stretched their resources to the extreme. In a very short time period they were asked to address everything from a tornado sighting and lightening strikes to private property; floods on an unprecedented proportion for this area and a smoking cars on Sixth Street; the evacuation of an entire hospital and they were still asked to manage all of the “normal” day-to-day calls for assistance from the public on what was definitely NOT a “normal” day.

As you read this please keep in mind that all the while the aforementioned events were under way, the PC Fire Fighters Association staffed and served 500 delicious chicken barbeue dinners to the public as a fundraiser with net proceeds to be turned back around to benefit the community in the form of new equipment and tools to assist when called upon for help. I believe that action alone is a perfect example of the character of these individuals.

Chief Hickman and Chief Johnson, I know you both thought Sunday would never end. I witnessed the soaking wet clothes splattered with mud and who knows what else and the tired faces of everyone on your departments as they staggered exhausted and hungry around the fire station at 10 p.m. cleaning gear, hoses and equipment. Sitting in the fire department dispatch center I took the calls from your spouses asking when their loved ones would be home to address their own flooded basements, leaking roofs and all of the other related issues faced by the citizens of Port Clinton on that day. Yet the members of your departments remained on their assigned duty posts until the job requested of them by their community was complete.

Now, I know some reading this will make comments like “that’s what they get paid for;” or, “they are firemen after all.” I can only remind those naysayers that these are volunteers who earn just enough money to pay for gas to get them to and from their home, work, place of worship, the grocery store or any other place they may find themselves to the fire station when the pager rings. These individuals are themselves plumbers, electricians, computer techs, HVAC techs, custodians, chiropractors, heavy equipment operators, members of our military services, pharmacy techs, mothers, fathers, office workers, small business owners, engineers, boat mechanics, auto mechanics, college students, probation officers, retired, full-time paramedics and EMTs, factory crew supervisors, laborers, private contractors and a few are part of the ranks of the unemployed. Yet, each will step away from the dinner table, bowling alley, kids dance recital or ball game when the call for help is sounded.

To the men and women of our area’s emergency services: you may have gone to bed Sunday night a bit wet from rain, dirty from mud, hungry from lack of food and exhausted from a very, very long day of service but, please remember your efforts and the skills of your departments did not go unnoticed — THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR SERVICE TO OUR COMMUNITY! CLEAR, Mike Snider

ORSI celebrates 35 years of service to Ottawa County The Ottawa Residential Services Inc. Board of Directors is celebrating its 35th year of service to Ottawa County.

Since incorporating in 1976, ORSI — a state certified non-profit housing development organization — has been planning, acquiring and developing safe, secure, accessible and affordable housing for Ottawa County residents with disabilities. Over the past 35 years, ORSI has expanded services to include owning and managing 15 residential homes, three group homes, 78 apartments and a 10-unit HUD 811 complex.

With a mission statement of providing housing or housing solutions for people with disabilities in Ottawa County, ORSI takes pride in knowing that they have been able to provide a place for people with disabilities to call home.

Over the past several years, ORSI has expanded its focus to include services that allow all Ottawa County residents to access affordable housing, programming and assistance funding. Through a strong partnership with both the Ottawa County Commissioners and the City of Port Clinton, ORSI serves as the Tenant Base Rental Assistance application and eligibility site for the Ottawa County Housing Authority, as well as an application site for the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program for the Sandusky Met-

ropolitan Housing Authority.

Serving as a “one-stop shop” referral resource, ORSI connects people in need of any type of housing assistance throughout Ottawa County to services such as rental housing and payment assistance programs, homeownership programs, foreclosure assistance programs, fair housing and tenant/landlord information, as well as a location for private landlords to list their openings and contact information.

One day, more than $18K for cancer Ottawa County raised more than $18,000 in one day to benefit the American Cancer Society of Northwest Ohio.

A duck drop and Chemo Crawl were both held Sunday, Aug. 18.

Starting at 11 a.m., 1,000 ducks were dropped in the Monsoon Lagoon Water Park to race to the finish. Ducks were sold at $10 each and each duck sale came with either a complimentary Water Pass to Monsoon Lagoon or a round trip ferry ticket on the Miller Boat Line to Putin-Bay. This event couldn’t have happened without the generous donation of these passes by Julene Market of the Miller Boat Line and Monsoon Lagoon. The race was only 4 minutes and the first place winner was Halle Bruening, of Marblehead, who took home a 50” HDTV. Second place was Rachel Fall of Magruder winning a getaway to Putin-Bay and third prize went to Lisa Redett winning $300 worth of local gift certificates. Special thanks to our first prize sponsors: Quinton Smith of Northern Manufacturing and Bob Snyder. Others donating included Kaspar

Auto in Sandusky, Nagoya, Bassett’s, Kroger and Walmart.

Following the duck drop, the third annual Chemo Crawl was held. Similar to a pub crawl, the area pubs, hotel and Jet Express gather to compete with each other to see who has the biggest Bar Heart for Cancer. The crawler’s started at the OurGuest Inn & Suites in Downtown Port Clinton, getting their card and T-shirt and then headed out to McCarthy’s, Madison Street Pub, Kokomo Bay, Traveler’s Inn and the Jet Express ending at Mango Mama’s for an evening of dance with Ronnie Howard and Cruizin.

The Jet Express alone raised more than $4,000 for the cause with Sara Burns, an employee at the Jet, raising more than $1,000 herself. The trophy for the BarHearts went to Bill Yuhaz at Mango Mama’s raising nearly $700.

Plans are under way for next year’s crawl. There may be some twists … possibly including Put-in-Bay. The preliminary date is Aug. 18. Organizers are setting up a Facebook page for next year’s event and will be updating the website at www.portclintonchemocrawl.com.

Youth group finds endangered species at Lakefront Preserve The Ohio Young Birders Club hosted a BioBlitz at Port Clinton’s Lakefront Preserve on July 23, and the results might surprise you. Well over 200 species of living things were documented on the property, which lies on the shores of Lake Erie between City Beach and Water Works Park. This area, a coastal wetland habitat, provides a home to many unique plants and animals.

More than 30 people, including student members from Michigan and Illinois, participated in the daylong BioBlitz event. A BioBlitz is an effort to identify all of the living things in a particular area. Participants collected species information that will serve as a valuable tool for helping to maintain the habitat, and provides baseline data that will assist in evaluating the success of ongoing restoration efforts.

In addition to surveying the property for birds, insects, turtles and snakes, the group also sampled Lake Erie for aquatic critters including fish and mussels. Assisted by UniIt’s Easy to Stay Comfortable with a versity of Toledo graduate student Todd Crail, the Young Birders Club documented two state endangered mussels: Carrier Infinity 2-Stage Energy Efficient the Eastern Pond Mussel and the Rayed Bean Mussel, a Air Conditioner!

Looking for a good home Daisy is a 6-year-old female lab mix whose earlier years were anything but happy. From the time she was a puppy she was always kept in an outdoor kennel with a doghouse that was too small for her. She was never out of the kennel and never taken to a veterinarian.

She began developing tumors and because her condition was ignored, they grew very large. To the point they would freeze to the ground.

Nancy Silva, the Ottawa County humane officer, responded to a complaint call and discovered Daisy’s plight. Rather than have the tumors treated, the owner threatened to shoot Daisy, so she was subsequently rescued.

She was taken to a veterinarian and was diagnosed as having heartworms, requiring immediate medical attention. Though the condition had progressed to the point her lungs had sustained some damage, she was treated and fully recovered. After a sufficient period of time passed, the tumors were analyzed.

It was determined the tumors could be removed and that the operation would not be life-threatening, so she was scheduled for surgery. The ordeal lasted about three hours and she received more than 100 stitches but all of the growths were removed. This was followed by the equally good news that an analysis of the tumors showed that none were malignant.

Despite these challenges, Daisy always has had a smile for whoever greets her. She doesn’t seem to walk these days, she prances. She is a happy girl who more than ever deserves a happy home.

To meet Daisy — or other animals in need of good homes — go to the Ottawa County Humane Society at 2424 Sand Road, Port Clinton; call 419-734-5191 or visit www.hsocpets.org.

Remarriage may require refocus on financial goals If you’re planning to get remarried, you have plenty of company: More than 40% of all U.S. weddings are second marriages for at least one of the participants, according to an estimate by the National Stepfamily Resource Center.

Naturally, a second marriage will bring many changes to your life — not the least of which may be changes in your financial strategy and goals.

disability insurance to ensure appropriate coverage is in place. Also, review life insurance policies and update beneficiaries and coverage.

• Income taxes — When you consult with your tax professional to discuss the tax implications related to your marriage, be sure to adjust your tax withholding on Form W 4 to reflect your marital status. You may also want to discuss whether your Social Security benefits will be impacted if you remarry and are under age 60.

• Estate considerations — Remarriage almost certainly will require you to work with a legal advisor to make changes to the following: will, living will, durable power of attorney, health care power of attorney and trust. If you have children, this step is critical toward ensuring your wishes will be carried out. You can also speak with your legal advisor if you are considering a prenuptial or postnuptial agreement.

And perhaps above all else, you need to communicate effectively with your new spouse about your respective ideas on managing finances and investments.

To develop a joint investment strategy that addresses your goals and your individual differences, you may want to consult with a financial professional.

Your remarriage can be a joyous occasion. And by making sure you and your new spouse are “on the same page” with regard to your financial situation and goals, you can make a positive contribution to your new life together. nnn This article was written by Edward Jones for use by your local Edward Jones Financial Advisor.

In fact, your remarriage should cause you to take a close look at these areas: • Past financial obligations — Before even discussing your investments, you and your new spouse should decide how to handle past financial obligations such as child support, alimony and debts. Consider temporarily managing three accounts – his, hers and ours – to keep track of these various payments.

• Retirement accounts — You and your new spouse may want to examine your respective retirement accounts — such as your 401(k)s and Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) — to determine if there are areas of duplication that you may wish to avoid. If you both have the same types of investments, you may be more susceptible to downturns that primarily affect one industry or economic sector. By diversifying your holdings, you can reduce the effects of volatility on your portfolios. Keep in mind, though, that diversification cannot guarantee a profit or protect against loss.

• Insurance — Evaluate your medical insurance plans to decide which policy is more economical and comprehensive for you, your spouse and any dependents. You may also want to review

Message from your superintendent B-C-S Schools

BY DIANE KERSHAW • Parents, students, and community members are invited to attend an open house at each of the district’s elementary buildings (R. C. Waters, Graytown, and Carroll) on Monday, August 22 from 5:30 to 7:00 P.M. Students are welcome to drop off school supplies at this time. An open house at Oak Harbor Middle School will be held on Monday, August 22 from 6:30 to 8:30 P.M. Oak Harbor High School’s open house will be on Wednesday, August 17 from 6:30-8:30 P.M. • Oak Harbor Middle School has scheduled a Rachel’s Challenge assembly with Oak Harbor High School in September to kick off our Olweus bullying program. Rachel Scott was the first person killed at Columbine High School on April 20, 1999. Her acts of kindness and compassion, coupled with the contents of her six diaries, have become the foundation for one of the most life-changing school programs in America. Powerful video/audio footage of Rachel’s life and the Columbine tragedy holds students spellbound during a one-hour school presentation that motivates them to make positive changes in the way they treat others.

This is followed by a separate interactive 90-minute training session involving both adult and student leaders that shows how to sustain the momentum created by the assembly.

The assembly creates the “want to” or desire for positive change. The training session teaches the “how to” and ensures that the positive impact will continue.

That evening the Rachel’s Challenge speaker conducts a powerful session with parents and community leaders. This session is similar to the assembly program and ends with a specific challenge to parents and community leaders, showing them how they can reinforce the decisions their youth are making. Rachel’s Challenge has impacted entertainers, politicians, sports celebrities, educators, and even two Presidents of the United States. However, students are the target audience and they have proven that they will respond with positive words, attitudes, and actions.

• The elementary buildings are looking forward to the second year of implementation of Response to Intervention (RTI) to assist students in acquiring strong reading skills. Using a systematic process to maximize student achievement, B-C-S elementaries identify students who need ad-

SCHOOLS from 1A One drive is being installed from Sixth Street through to Alice on the east side of the school. Adkins said in keeping with the disctrict’s promise to neighbors, that drive will be gated.

“We won’t have cut-through traffic during non-school hours,” he said.

On the west side of the school, a drive including a bus loop and parking behind the addition, is going in.

But even with the added concrete, a grassy area the size of two football fields will remain.

ditional support, provide researchbased interventions, and monitor student progress. Data on elementary students is entered into a districtwide data management system for easy access by classroom teachers, reading and intervention specialists, and each buildings’s data team.

• Acorn Alley, the district’s statelicensed before and after childcare program for elementary students, is gearing up for another great year!

Acorn Alley offers flexible enrollment options: children may attend a day here and there, several days a week, weekly, or all school year long. Childcare sites are in all elementary buildings and provide a safe and secure environment for K-6th grade students. Acorn Alley is open at 6 A.M. to the start of the school day and at the end of the school day until 6 P.M. as well as during school delays and most cancellations. Cost is $2/hour; financial assistance is available. To register or for more information, call 419-898-3315.

Danbury Schools

BY DAN PARENT The Danbury Local School district is excited about the opening of the 2011-12 school year. Students and parents are invited to our annual open house at the school from 25 to 7 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 23, followed by our meet the team night at 7 p.m at the stadium.

The mission of Danbury Local Schools is to work in partnership with family and community to prepare each student for a lifetime of learning and success. To accomplish this mission, Danbury is implementing a wireless technology system to educate our students in the technology of today and prepare them for the technology of tomorrow. Students will be implementing a variety of wireless devices into the school curriculum and networking with other students and their teachers on school lessons and projects. Our elementary students will be beginning the first phase of an enhanced reading program funded by Race To The Top grants. Each elementary classroom will be fitted with six student computers to allow the teacher to differentiate instruction in a large group, small group or individual setting.

These changes will allow our students to achieve in the school of today and prepare for the world of tomorrow.

Port Clinton Schools

BY PAT ADKINS Port Clinton City School District “We appreciate the patience of the neighbors,” Adkins said. “It will all be worth it for the finished project.”

The immediate concern is completing the cafeteria and kitchen area by the start of school next week. The equipment is standing by for drywall, paint and cleanup to be installed by final inspection Monday.

The construction will continue throughout the winter but Adkins said the students won’t be directly affected. And though parking will continue to be an issue, travel patterns remain the same at both Bataan and

FLOOD from 1A and was back up again by 7 p.m. By late afternoon Monday, Brand said the hospital was operating at almost full capacity and expects to complete recovery by the end of the day.

“Our biggest challenge throughout the whole deal was finding where to put the water,” said Port Clinton Fire Chief Kent Johnson.

When the power distribution room at the hospital was flooding, the firefighters had to run hoses down Fulton Street and pumped the water into the soccer field at the high school.

“It worked out pretty well,” Johnson said.

Tracy Colston, the city’s interim Safety Service Director, called in his staff Sunday afternoon to put up barricades and high water signs where needed.

“The pumps were all working, it’s just that the system could not keep up with it,” he said. “If the pumps are working, that’s the best we can do.”

Colston, who has worked for the city for about eight

is ready for the 2011-12 school year to begin as it brings us closer to the opening of our new school facilities.

Currently the construction sites at Bataan Memorial Elementary and the new Middle School, on the high school campus, are dusty, dirty and very busy. Even though it may not appear to be the case, we are making progress and very close to being on schedule for both projects. Approximately one year from now we will be moving into state of the art facilities thanks to the support of our community. To see the progress, log on to our live construction web cameras on our website www.pccsd.net.

Port Clinton City Schools will also continue to introduce new and innovative programs that will provide educational opportunities for our students. Rosetta Stone is an online language program that has been successfully adopted by other school districts. The traditional language offerings at Port Clinton High School have been French and Spanish. German was also offered for many years, but was discontinued due to declining enrollment. The adoption of the Rosetta Stone program will allow our students to choose the language of their choice in the near future. The former Distance Learning Lab at PCHS is being converted to a World Languages Lab. Mr. Jim Mozina will pilot the program at PCHS as we prepare to expand the program beginning in 2012-13.

This year, a full-year cycle menu has been developed. Ms. Liz Pagniano, Food Service Director, worked with other area school districts to develop the menu in accordance with the new US Department of Agriculture policy. The menu features more fresh fruit and vegetables plus whole grains. Parents and students should like the new menu that is a large magnet that can be posted on your home refrigerator all year long.

The energy in our district is exciting! We are excited about the improved test scores on the Ohio Achievement Assessments that will be announced in late August. We will continue our efforts to provide the community of Port Clinton with strong educational programs and build upon our position as one of the top performing high schools in Ottawa, Erie, Sandusky and Huron County.

Please access our web site (www. pccsd.net) to learn more about Port Clinton City Schools or sign up for our electronic newsletter! Should you have any questions please contact us at the board of education at 419-732-2102. We look forward to a wonderful 2011-12 school year.

years, said he’s seen flooding like this only one other time.

The areas hardest hit included the Lakeview Park and surrounding tree streets, Waterworks Park, 10th and 11th streets as well as the intersections of Harrison and Second and Sixth and Jefferson. But while some areas were covered with up to 3 feet of water Sunday, much of what covered the roads dried up less than 24 hours later. For many though, the damage left in and around their homes will take a lot longer to clean up.

Damage Assessment Teams are going door-todoor to assess damage and any potential needs of residents. For questions, or to report any damage, call United Way by dialing 211 or the Port Clinton Police Department at 419-7343121.

Artist doing public painting at PIB Tropical artist Steve Barton will showcase his colorful canvases Thursday through Sunday, Aug. 18-21, 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 techniques and inspirations.

As a special treat for art lovers, Barton will demonstrate his creativity by turning a vintage carnival car from Sandusky’s Cedar Point into a one-of-a-kind “art-o-mobile.” The car is owned by area resident and art collector George Thompson.

Barton plans to paint a vista from Put-in-Bay on the rear of the car, two scenes from Cedar Point on the sides, and a scene from America’s southernmost island of Key West on the front.

Barton’s lighthearted waterfront vistas, many featuring flower-edged welcome to join in. This is our opportunity to share important information on how we can help stop these Harmful Algal Blooms from happening in our beautiful Lake Erie.

worked hard to address threats to this species and ensure its long-term survival,” said Fish and Wildlife Service Director Dan Ashe.

Critical research, including an annual intensive Lake Erie watersnake census begun in 2001, provided data that identified when the species had achieved its population goal and threats to its survival had been reduced. In addition, public outreach programs provide awareness of the snake, its plight and its role in the ecosystem. Recovery criteria include a combined population of at least 5,555 snakes on the U.S. islands, sustained for six years, and protection of key habitat.

Through continued habitat protection and public education, the Lake Erie watersnake population grew to about 11,980 in 2009, and has exceeded the minimum recovery level since 2002.
