Bicentennial celebration begins BY ANGIE ADAIR ZAM Editor Sept. 10, 2011, marks the 198th anniversary of the Battle of Lake Erie when Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry and his sailors defeated the British Navy to secure the Great Lakes region for the U.S. once and for all. This fight, one of the major battles of the War of 1812, is celebrated each year at Put-in-Bay during His-

torical Weekend. But with the 2013 bicentennial approaching, a much bigger celebration is kicking off. The Perry Group, a registered charity organization dedicating to supporting Perry’s Victory International Peace Memorial, is planning a massive celebration to celebrate the 200 years of peace. “We are engaging the entire region in our efforts to remember

this day in history and to salute our freedom and sovereignty,” said Dave Zavagno, a Perry Group board member. “We expect thousands of people to attend — not just from the region but from across America, Canada and overseas.” Zavagno said the group hopes to secure some serious star-

Honor of a lifetime

Arthur Alexander, 88, stands at the World War II Memorial in Washington, D.C. He, along with his daughter Virginia Browne, traveled to the capitol last week with Honor Flight.

Trip to WWII Memorial in D.C. was ‘utterly, utterly fantastic’

Each of the 80 veterans on the trip were provided with wheelchairs to keep them comfortable throughout the day.

By ANGIE ADAIR ZAM Editor Eighty veterans boarded a plane last week for the trip of a lifetime. They were flown from Toledo to Washington, D.C., to see the World War II Memorial as part of Honor Flight Northwest Ohio. “It is just utterly, utterly fantastic,” said Arthur Alexander, a WWII vet from Catawba Island. “It just makes me proud that I’m an American and makes me proud I was able to serve in the Air Force.” Alexander, now 88, left

for his service overseas on Thanksgiving Day 1943 and spent two years in Europe working as mechanic. The vets were greeted by more than 100 people who cheered them on and thanked them for their service as their day started at Toledo Airport. There, the participants — each accompanied by a guardian — were fed breakfast before being loaded onto a plane to Dulles Airport. The plane held more than people

Ottawa County is need of a new sheriff after Robert Bratton announced his resignation last week. According to a letter drafted by the sheriff, his last day in that position will be Friday, Sept. 23. “As Sheriff of Ottawa County, I cannot begin to express to the citizens the rewards that this job has brought to me,” the letter states. Bratton will continue his career in law enforcement as the Genoa Police chief. It is now up to the county’s Democratic party to appoint someone to fill Bratton’s unexpired term. “The next step is to get resumes from qualified and interested parties,” said Democratic Party Chairman Dan Laity, adding that this appointment is about more than just politics. “We have an obligation to all the residents to maintain the safety of the county.” The job of Ottawa County Sheriff is not the only one the Democrats are looking to fill. Kathy Kopchak will be retiring from the Ottawa County Board of Elections after working there for eight years. Although her retirement date is Dec. 31, her last day of work is Oct. 31. Kopchak’s duties as full-time Democratic Clerk in the four-person office were varied and the board will miss her greatly as they seek to find her replacement. Her duties included processing voter registration, auditing campaign finance reports, maintaining and packing election supplies, distributing county official’s ethics information and processing petitions. For questions about either open, call Laity at 419-332-9615.

Columbia Gas will be offering the Niagara’s Earth Showerhead, which saves water and money by using up to 40-percent less water than traditional “low-flow” showerheads. Upgrading a conventional showerhead with one that’s energy-efficient can save between 1,800 and 3,600 gallons of water annually.

FAA gives local airport $150K The Federal Aviation Administration has awarded $150,000 to the Erie-Ottawa County Regional Airport, according to U.S. Rep. Marcy Kaptur. Funds will be used for runway, taxiway and apron rehabilitation at Carl R. Keller Field and will be administered by the Erie-Ottawa Region-

All-you-can-eat breakfast at K. of C. On Sunday, Sept. 11, the Oak Harbor Knights of Columbus will be sponsoring an all-you-can-eat French Toast and Sliced Ham Family Breakfast at St. Boniface Catholic Church. Beginning at 9 a.m. the Knights will be serving up a menu including homemade rolls, homemade applesauce, coffee, hot chocolate and juice. Donation is $6 for adults, senior citizens $5, and children under 12 are $3. Proceeds will benefit the St. Boniface Parish CCD program. This Sept. 11, marks the 10th anniversary of the terrorist attacks on the United States. As the Knights of Colum-

bus observe World Day of Prayer for Peace on that anniversary, the day provides an opportunity to recall the tragic events of that day, honor the thousands who lost their lives, and pray for peace among nations, especially in those places where war or turmoil persist, so that religion will be a means of peace and accord and not an excuse for violence and division. The council participated in an Adopt-a-Road and Toussaint St. Joseph Cemetery clean-up Tuesday, Aug. 29, and received a Certificate of Appreciation from the OSS Solid Waste District Adopt-a-Road program.

Ottawa Soil and Water Conservation District has kicked of its 2011 Fish Sale. Area pond owners have the opportunity to stock their ponds with fish through this convenient and low-cost program until Friday, Sept. 30. The fish are supplied by Fender’s Fish Hatchery, Baltic, Ohio. The tank truck, with aerator, will distribute the ordered fish on Thursday, Oct. 6, in the afternoon. Fish available are: Bluegill, Channel Catfish, Fathead Minnows, Largemouth Bass, Yellow Perch, Redear Sunfish and White Amur. White Amur (more commonly known as “Grass Carp”) are members of the minnow family reported to attain weights in excess of 100 pounds and to live up to 15 years. They bear little resemblance to the common carp. Although cultured in Asia as a source of food, the sterile White Amur is primarily used in the United States to control aquatic vegetation. Leafy, rooted aquatic plants, such as pondweed and coontail, are the preferred food of these fish. Lacking these, they will consume floating duckweed, green algae and even cattails. All fish must be pre-ordered and pre-paid. To receive an order form, call the office at 419-898-1595 or stop in at 240 W. Lake St., Oak Harbor. The deadline for ordering is Friday, Sept. 30, with pick up Thursday, Oct. 6, at the soil and water office.

The purpose of the outreach was to educate voters about Issue 2 on the ballot Nov. 8. The teachers and other volunteers met near Fisherman’s Wharf before heading out to contact nearby residents in the community. “We are here to talk to people directly about how Senate Bill 5 hurts our schools and affects the safety of the community,” said Cindy Weible, a school custodian. “We

need to spread the word and let people know to vote ‘no’ on Issue 2 to repeal Senate Bill 5.” We Are Ohio will be conducting more events to connect with voters throughout the course of the next two months. The group is a citizen-driven, communitybased, bipartisan coalition that has come together to repeal SB 5. For details on Issue 2 and others on the November ballot, visit the Ohio Secretary of States website www.sos.state.oh.us

Parent Project of Ottawa County graduates its third class The Parent Project of Ottawa County graduated its third class Aug. 16 with 10 participants. To date, The Parent Project has successfully graduated 29 out of the 39 parents who have participated. Twenty children were served out of those parents who successfully graduated from the first two classes. The Ottawa County Juvenile Court evaluated the progress made in the families of the successful graduates 90 days after graduation and found that only five out of the 20 youth served had any new complaints or probation violations during this period. Additionally, eight of the youth who were on probation at the start of their parents attending Parent Project have since been terminated from probation. Parents that participate in Parent Project learn specific prevention and intervention strategies for dealing with their adolescent child(ren). Parents meet for 11 weeks and address such topics as drug and alcohol use, truancy, gangs, running away, violence, suicide and other criminal behavior. Parents also receive emotional support by the other parents in the class by working in a support group. Participants say they are learning many useful strategies by attending the class and appreciate knowing that they are not alone. One successful graduated stated, “When people say that kids don’t come with an instruction manual, I say yes they do! This class! This class is an important and necessary tool in raising kids. This class will empower a parent. I wish I would have had this class when I first started as a parent.”

PAYING YOURSELF FIRST

COULD PAY OFF LATER. LIKE WHEN YOU RETIRE. With so much happening in our lives, it’s easy to lose sight of the future – like retirement. Edward Jones can help make saving for retirement easier with our monthly IRA investing program. This simple, convenient service puts your retirement investing on “autopilot” by letting you put aside a set amount every month into an Edward Jones IRA. You can even set it up so that the money comes automatically from any account you choose.

Facilitators Sue Guerra (back left), Stephanie Weeks and Kelly Pape stop for a photo with graduates Karen Famolare, Gariea Minton, Lisa Otley and June Ireland.

A systematic investment plan does not assure a profit and does not protect against loss in a declining market. Such a plan involves continuous investment in securities regardless of fluctuating price levels of such securities, the investor should consider the financial ability to continue the purchases through periods of low price levels.

The next session of The Parent Project is scheduled to begin Tuesday, Sept. 6, from 6 to 9 p.m. at 8200 W. Ohio 163, Oak Harbor. The Parent Project is open to the parent of any child aged 11-18 and who resides within Ottawa County. Anyone interested in enrolling or with questions may call Stephanie Weeks at the Ottawa County Juvenile Court at 419-734-6839 or Kelly Pape at Ottawa County Department of Job and Family Services/Family and Children First Council at 419-898-3688, ext. 285. Material fee is $50 for an individual or $75 for a couple (with shared book).

CHILI COOKS HELP FAMILIES IN CRISIS Ken Kostal, representing the Chili Cook-off Society, is pictured here presenting a check for $1,136 to Connie Cornett, executive director of Ottawa County CASA, and Karen Demangos, executive director of Joyful Connections. The check represents donations collected during the Rally for the Kids event. Chili cooks had samples available to attendees of the rally in exchange for donations. The cooks then presented those donations to Ottawa County CASA and Joyful Connections. Both organizations help families and children in crisis situations. CASA volunteers advocate in court on behalf of abused, neglected and dependent children. Joyful Connections provides a safe, homelike environment for children and families to participate in supervised visitations and exchanges. These organizations depend on local fundraising and support to sustain their operations.

Grandparents may need to balance gifts and goals

Grandparents Day falls on Sept. 11 this year. While not as widely observed as Mother’s Day or Father’s Day, Grandparents Day nonetheless serves a valuable purpose in reminding us of the importance of grandparents in the lives of their grandchildren. If you’re a grandparent yourself, you already know the joy your grandchildren bring you, and through the years, you have probably been generous with them in many ways. At the same time, though, you probably need to strike a balance between your heartfelt gifts and your financial goals. It can be challenging to achieve that balance. For one There’s a

NUMBER or from

thing, you and your fellow grandparents have not been stingy in your giving over the past several years. America’s grandparents provided an estimated $370 billion in financial support to their grandchildren between 2004 and 2009, according to a survey by the MetLife Mature Market Institute. This averages out to $8,661 per grandparent household over that same period. However, many of these same grandparents may not be accumulating sufficient financial resources to enjoy the retirement lifestyle they’ve envisioned. In fact, the median balance of retirement accounts for 55- to 64-year-olds is only about $100,000, according to the Center for Retirement Research. That’s not a lot of money for an age group that could spend two or even three decades in retirement. So, as a grandparent, what steps might you take to bolster your retirement savings while simultaneously helping your grandchildren? Here are a few ideas: • Maintain permanent life insurance. Once your children are grown, you may feel less compelled to carry life insurance. But the right type of life insurance can benefit you throughout your life. Permanent life insurance offers you the chance to build cash value, which you may be able to access, depending upon the specifics of your policy. And you can name your grandchildren as beneficiaries of your policy. • Open a 529 plan. Use the money you’re already gifting

to fund a 529 plan to help your grandchildren pay for college. These plans have generous contribution guidelines, and withdrawals are tax-free, provided the money is used for qualified expenses. There may be state tax incentives available to in-state residents who invest in their home state’s 529 plan. And a 529 plan offers you a degree of flexibility; if the beneficiary grandchild decides to forgo college, you can transfer the unused funds to another grandchild, tax and penalty free. However, withdrawals used for expenses other than qualified education expenses may be subject to federal and state taxes, plus a 10% penalty. • Contribute to a Roth Individual Retirement Account (IRA). The Roth IRA is a powerful retirement savings vehicle. You can fund your IRA with virtually any type of investment, such as stocks, bonds and government securities, and your earnings grow tax free, provided you don’t take withdrawals until you’re at least age 59½ and you’ve held your account at least five years. Your grandchildren may appreciate your generosity, but they’ll also no doubt want you to enjoy a comfortable retirement. As always, you need to do what makes sense for your situation. You may find there are ways to help both your grandchildren and yourself. This article was written by Edward Jones for use by your local Edward Jones Financial Advisor.

MARBLEHEAD

Local company selected to renovate historic estate Grande Maison Construction Company has been selected to complete the renovation of a local historic estate. The project, located in Marblehead, has an interesting and unique history. The home was originally built by William A. Gamble, one of 10 children of James Gamble, the cofounder of the Proctor & Gamble Company of Cincinnati. William Gamble was well known in the Lakeside-Marblehead area as a successful businessman with interests in quarrying and was also a vice-president of the Proctor & Gamble Company. The home is situated in IsDr. Surfield treats patients land View — a subdivision for conditions including: of Marblehead and Lakeside Reconstructive Breast on property that was once a Surgery (after Breast Cancer) quarry operated by Gamble and three other business Cosmetic Surgery of the partners. As part of the Face & Body quarry operations a gravity Skin Cancer railroad was constructed to Facial Rejuvenation bring limestone from the Difficult Wounds quarry at the top of the hill to the pier at the base of present day Harsh Road to be shipped out through the Great Lakes. One of the most interesting features of the home is its classic example of Second Empire Victorian Architecture. Homes of this style are distinguished by their large “mansard” style roofs and ample dormers. The steep

double sloped roofs were characteristic of French and Italian Renaissance architecture, in fact French architect Francois Mansart used this style roof so frequently that they became known as “mansard” roofs. It is believed that this house was built in 1887 by Gamble. He used it as his summer residence until his death in 1897. At that time Fannie Gamble, his wife, sold the estate to the Kelley’s Island Lime and Transportation Company and they then used the house as the home for the General Manager of the Marblehead operations. An interesting side note is that William Gamble was married to Francis “Fannie” Nast of Cincinnati. Her father, William Nast, was the founder of German Methodism in America, the voice of German Methodism in Lakeside and founder of German Wallace College in Berea, Ohio of which he later became President. Fannie was also the first female graduate of Wallace College. Wallace College together with its sister institution English Baldwin College in Berea later became Baldwin-Wallace University. The more complex phase of the project has now been completed. This required shoring up the three-story house with a complex system of wood cribbing and beams, raising the house 3 feet, and rotating it 8 feet to its new permanent location. Then a new foundation was carefully constructed under the house and it was then lowered to rest on the newly constructed basement foundation. Work then continued with the construction of foundations for the new additions that will be added. The existing threefloor house will be completely renovated in addition to the large front additions and four-car garage. Anyone interested in following the progress of this project can do so by viewing the Grande Maison Construction’s website at www.granademaison.net.

Mary Lou Clark retiring from NBOH After 31 years in banking and 23 years of serving NBOH customers and the community in a variety of positions, Senior Vice President Mary Lou Clark is officially retiring Sept. 30. Her last day at the office of NBOH is Friday, Sept. 9, where she will be honored at a private reception by her coworkers. Prior to joining the banking team at NBOH, Clark held several banking positions at the Sutton State Bank in Attica. On Sept. 12, 1988, she began her career at NBOH as a teller. Shortly after, she was named Vice President and Assistant Cashier and took on the task of bank Com-

pliance Officer. Nine years later she was promoted to Senior Vice President. In 2007 Clark was named Cashier and she became the banks Human Resource Officer and IT Liaison. “I have truly loved the 23 years I have been at the bank and I am grateful for the opportunities that Tom Palmer, Dean Davis and Gary Macko have given me over the years,” said Clark. “I am going to miss all the wonderful people that I have worked with — they are my second family.” “Mary Lou has played an integral role here at the bank for many years,” said Gary P. Macko, President and CEO. “We will miss her, and want to thank her for her many contributions. The NBOH family wishes Mary Lou all the best in her retirement.”

Port Clinton 18 — John Marshall 12

Redskins on top after OT By JOHN SCHAFFNER Publisher Come-from-behind-wins have been few and far between for the Port Clinton Redskin football program over the past 20 or so years. So, when it happens, why not relish it? PC found itself down 12-0 going into the fourth quarter against John Marshall of Cleveland last Friday night in their home opener. That is when they collectively made a decision not to disappoint their home crowd. “The best thing we learned was being down 12-0 with 10 minutes left and we didn’t panic,” said Redskin Coach Toby Hammond on Tuesday morning. The Redskins got fourth quarter touchdowns by Andrew Leidheiser and Brock Moore to knot it up at 12-12 forcing overtime. After shutting down Marshall on their first overtime pos-

session, Cody Smith became the hero of the evening, scoring the winning touchdown on PC’s first and only possession. The Redskins were well prepared to face a team with the quickness of John Marshall. “We knew about their speed and we thought we could wear them down in the second half,” said Coach Hammond. “The big thing was that we didn’t give up any big plays. Our defense was really good.” This week, the task becomes much more difficult, as unbeaten Genoa comes to town. The Comets have become a football powerhouse since Coach Mike Vicars took over the west Ottawa County team. Last Friday night they pounded on Oak Harbor, 51-13 as their featured running back, Kyle Nutter ran over, under around and through the Rocket defense. So, what will be the Redskins

Port Clinton Coach Toby Hammond said his defense was tough against John Marshall, as this photo depicts. approach to Friday night’s game at True-Lay Stadium? Coach Hammond knows it won’t be easy. “They do everything well and make it hard to find a weakness to exploit. What makes them so tough is that you can’t stop just one kid or they will hurt you

somewhere else. They don’t get enough credit on how well they play defense. They score a lot of points but their defense is what makes them outstanding.” Kickoff between the two Ottawa County rivals will be at 7 p.m. on Friday evening.

Danbury 50 — Woodward 6

Lakers post win PHOTO BY JOHN KOZAK

Danbury’s Ben Adams zeros in on this Toledo Woodward running back in last Friday’s contest won by Danbury, 50-6.

By J. PATRICK EAKEN Danbury football improved to 2-0 with a 50-6 pounding over visiting non-league foe Toledo Woodward Friday night. Senior quarterback Lucas Kennedy ran for 106 yards on 11 attempts and completed 4-of-7 passes for 160 yards to account for 266 yards of total offense. Senior wide receiver Cory Schenk caught four Kennedy

passes for 160 yards and two touchdowns. The Lakers had 427 yards of total offense — 267 rushing and 160 passing. Danbury had 15 first downs, 13 rushing, one passing and one by penalty. The Lakers scored three touchdowns in the first half and added four more in the second half. Sophomore tailback Cody Ger-

Rockets brought down by Comets By J. PATRICK EAKEN One week after opening with a win over Springfield, the Oak Harbor Rockets took it on the chin, losing to visiting Ottawa County rival Genoa, 51-13, in non-league action. In the second quarter, Brian Mallernee threw a 19-yard touchdown pass to A.J. Cecil for the Rocket’s first score, and then in the final quarter Mark Konieczny scored on a twoyard run. Oak Harbor had 235 total yards, including 158 rushing and 91 passing. The Comets had 464 yards of total offense, including 392 rushing and 72 passing. It was the fifth straight year Genoa won the Celestial Ball contest. Kyle Nutter led Genoa with 140 yards rushing, plus he scored two touchdowns. This Friday night, Oak Harbor (1-1) travels to Eastwood (2-0), which has defeated Patrick Henry, 37-34, and Clyde, 35-32. The Eagles are led by junior running back Marquise Pitts, who led Eastwood in rushing last season, gaining 973 yards on 88 carries (11.1 average) and 10 touchdowns. The Eagles also have senior Zach Conkle, who ran for 539 yards and seven touchdowns. Conkle also caught 10 passes for 211 yards (21.1 average).

The Beacon By KAREN COFFIN

Coffin’s Corner

Worthy opponents? Am I the only person who thinks it doesn’t mean much to defeat an opponent who is vastly overmatched in a game? (I bet I just got a lot of readers ticked off.) Optional scheduling of weaker opponents is a time-honored practice of teams who play competitions outside their league commitments. It may be time-honored, but I don’t believe it’s very respectable. (OK, now I probably have everyone else mad too.) I know all the rationalizations and disclaimers, and I admit some of the arguments have validity. You may have guessed that this column is prompted by the beginning of the college football season, which traditionally features easy games for football powers against smaller schools that are happy to get the chance to compete in the spotlight. It happens at pretty much every level, which is why I’m writing about it in Coffin’s Corner, which is devoted to helping kids have positive experiences in youth sports. I’d like all of us to rethink how we treat these games as coaches and parents. Why is it an accepted practice to play lesser opponents and act like it is a big deal? Why is it OK to run up the score and humiliate the other team? What are we teaching here? Where big money is involved, as in college football, the primary reason for scheduling second level teams is easy to figure out. It’s the money! Millions of dollars are generated by one game in a high visibility arena.

The fans are happy. The underdog team receives a lot of money and a chance to play in the national spotlight. Of course, there is always the tantalizing dream of an upset to work for. The second significant reason (and it may be the key reason) for lop-sided contests to be scheduled is more insidious to me. It is about padding statistics. This is what bothers me at youth levels. Good statistics have become the Holy Grail of sports. Reporters and commentators rely on them. Coaches’ reputations are better with more wins. Parents generally have fewer complaints if their child has good stats. Post-season qualification can depend on records. All Star Teams are composed of kids with the best numbers. It’s a common misconception that college scholarships are awarded only on the basis of statistics. Not true. Scouts look for talent and they pay attention to the strength of the competition when deciding who to pay to attend their school. Pro teams will draft players with talent from small college teams. Many State and National athletic championships have elaborate selection guidelines as to who gets to participate. There is predictable outrage when a team with a worse record gets chosen or ranked over a team with more wins or even an undefeated record. The selection process which figures in strength of schedule is sub-

jective, but it’s a lot more accurate than just looking at records. We need worthy opponents to make us better. If winning is too easy, kids have no motivation to improve. In my coaching days, I always tried to schedule tough teams to prepare us for post season competition. The girls who were tested early in the season and learned to keep their composure, had much better success when faced with adversity later. There’s a tremendous satisfaction from winning against a strong adversary. Confidence is gained from playing well in pressure situations. Teams that win easily all the time have real struggles when faced with tough opponents. They don’t have the poise that comes from having experienced a battle. Winning by one point teaches a lot more about success than winning by fifty. The greatest games are fought between even teams. Rivalries are only intense when there’s a doubt about who will win. When we equate having good statistics with success, we are teaching that looking good is the same as being good. Respect and be thankful for worthy opponents. We need them to help us be the best we can be.

Rawski will be discussing a fall camp along with other important information regarding the upcoming softball season.

Lakers up 16-0. Kennedy then threw a 47-yard touchdown pass to senior wide receiver Cory Schenk, but a conversion kick failed, leaving Danbury ahead 22-0 with 7:27 remaining in the first half. Danbury opened second half scoring when sophomore fullback Cooper Eller scored on a 3-yard run just less than two minutes into the half. Kennedy added the two-point conversion and Danbury led 30-0. Woodward sophomore back Mordecai Brownlee got the Polar Bears into the scoring column with a 19-yard touchdown run with 4:27 remaining in the third. Danbury fullback Taylon Molnar scored on a one-yard run with 9:40 remaining in the game, giving the Lakers a 43-6 lead after freshman place kicker James Dorko added the extra point. Molnar scored again, this time from five yards out, with 2:51 remaining, and Dorko added the PAT conversion kick one more time. So far this season after two wins, sophomore tailback Cody German has caught four Kennedy passes for 43 yards and junior wingback Brandon Bahnsen has one catch for three yards. Schenk has six catches for 237 yards and two touchdowns. Bahnsen has ran the football four times for 105 yards, Molnar had 15 carries for 72 yards, German had 14 carries for 38 yards, Eller had 10 carries for 36 yards, senior Ben Adams had one carry for 35 yards, and freshman Caleb Gerber had one carry for four yards. Against Woodward, Bahnsen had seven carries for 86 yards, Molnar had six carries for 41 yards, Eller had six carries for 18 yards, and German had six carries for 16 yards. This Friday night, Danbury hosts Sandusky St. Mary Central Catholic, which is 1-1. The Panthers defeated Fremont St. Joseph 33-17 but lost to Norwalk St. Paul, 23-7.

Bay Point homes going quickly Phase I of Sunset Cove, a luxury development project in Marblehead, is sold out according to Bay Point Acquisitions. The company began marketing the first phase of Sunset Cove in August of 2010 and sold out Phase I of the project in 10 months. “Bay Point and the Sunset Cove subdivision development offer everything one could ask for in terms of location, unit sizes, amenities and value,” said Ellen Calzonetti Dress, vice president of Resort Sales for Bay Point. “Surrounded by one of the finest private beaches in northern Ohio and with the size of the units and rich amenities package, we are proud to have been able to offer this project at such great value to its customers. It is little wonder that the initial phase of this project sold out as quickly as it did.” Bay Point continues to sell single-family lakefront lots at a rapid pace. Currently, only seven lots remain from the initial 33 lots offered for sale. In response to current demand, as well as an increase in material costs, Bay Point Acquisitions is revising the pricing of the remaining inventory of both the single-family lots and Phase II of Sunset Cove.

Johnson is agent for Falling Waters Howard Hanna realtor Tomi Johnson was recently named the agent of record for the Falling Waters development at the corner of Ohio 53 and Muggy Road. “Despite the economic conditions throughout the country, energy efficient, new construction with attractive amenities make this project a good choice for today’s market,” said Johnson. Jim Davenport is the developer of Falling Waters, as well as Hidden Harbor, just up the road. “We are delighted that Jim has asked for our help with the new image,” says Mary Ann Gecsi, manager of the Catawba office of Howard Hanna. “We are working with Jim to create some new house designs to integrate into the community and there are some exciting changes on the drawing board including increased access to the waterfront for kayaks and canoes,” said Gecsi.
