Kaptur gets strong challenge from Iott KAPTUR

By JOHN SCHAFFNER Publisher Marcy Kaptur has been in congress a long time. She has been the congressional representative for Ottawa County for less time, but during that period she has used her position to make positive things happen here. But in this election year of the Tea Party, it appears no incumbent is safe. It is 2010 and she

IOTT

is receiving a serious challenge from Republican and former Food Town CEO, Rich Iott.

They squared off at the Candidates Forum on Thursday night at the Port Clinton Elks Lodge. In their first 5-minute presentation, Iott repeated the words of the late President Ronald Reagan that in America, government is not the solution to our problems, government

is the problem. He made it clear that he is pro free enterprise and that it is the private sector that must be allowed to create jobs. He noted that the uncertainty small business feels for what might happen because of high unemployment and the looming tax increases. Iott cited the stimulus and healthcare bills as ex-

Residents of West End work for change

By ANGIE ADAIR ZAM Editor Efforts are under way to bring chance to a neighborhood with something of a bad reputation. Taking a cue from the successful Conestoga revitalization efforts across town, city officials, social service workers and residents are coming together to better the area historically known as Erie Gardens. First on the agenda: shedding that name.

“They are calling themselves the West End,” said Ottawa County’s United Way Director Chris Galvin. “They think there is a perception that you can’t cross Fremont Road.”

“Hopefully we can rid some of that negative mentality,” said Brian Curley, pastor of Rebirth Community Church, which is located in the neighborhood.

The first steps came almost as a coincidence. City Councilman Vince Leone had gone to an event at Rebirth over the summer and reached out to Curley to help the struggling area. Shortly after that conversation, Curley made another connection when he appeared on Galvin’s show on WPCR, All Around the Town with Chris Galvin. Both Leone and Galvin took notice of Curley’s references to the West End and both offered their resources to effect some change.

A meeting was then put together with residents of the area, the mayor, city councilmembers and social service staffers to see what could be done. Issues like mi-

Girl Scout chooses beautification project to earn highest honor the plate,” said Dana Alvarez, president of the Friends group. “She should get a lot of credit.”

The journey to this project was not a short one. Zoeller first started in scouting in the third grade with leaders Karen Gresh and Andrea Wells. Then, after earning various badges, Zoeller moved on to the preliminary requirements for the Gold Award. Candidates must earn badges for three interest projects, spend a minimum of 30 years in a leadership role and have at least 40 of work experience like a summer job or internship.

Then comes choosing the project.

“I asked the mayor for ideas and this is the first one she came up with. It just clicked, I just knew this was my project,”

Mausoleum gets facelift

By ANGIE ADAIR ZAM Editor PORT CLINTON — The view at Lakeview Cemetery is looking better and better. The Friends of the Cemetery group has put focus on the mausoleum there — securing funding to redo window coverings on the old structure. And now, thanks to one local Girl Scout, the formerly barren landscape around the building is full of life.

Port Clinton High School senior Ashley Zoeller has taken on the project to earn her Gold Award — the highest award a Girl Scout can earn. Zoeller, her family, troop members and Friends of the Cemetery volunteers gathered Sunday to plant trees, bushes and flowers around the mausoleum.

Sound Off Habitat thank you

Habitat for Humanity of Ottawa County would like to thank everyone who stopped by the booth at the Oak Harbor Festival.

I would like to extend a special thank you to the following for their continued support to Habitat for Humanity of Ottawa County: Oak Harbor–Penta FFA class for designing and constructing the play barn which was won by Sara Shanteau, of Oak Harbor; Dale Wendt, of Oak Harbor, for building and donating the bench, won by Melanie Pert, of Fremont; and to all the volunteers who helped work at the Habitat booth this year.

Honor Flight

In March of 2009, a group of veterans met at the Riverview complex in Ottawa County with a delegation from Honor Flight. The reps told us of an opportunity to fly to Washington sometime in the future. On Sept. 4, I received a call about the flight. My number came up and the trip was set for Oct. 6, a Wednesday. We were instructed to be at the Toledo Express Airport at 6 a.m. for an early breakfast before boarding.

John Mizla, a Navy WWII, veteran also from Danbury Township, and me arrived early, both being on the same Honor Flight. After 49 veterans were registered and assigned a guardian, we were asked if we would need any assistance. Well, I’ve walked with a cane for the last five years and I occasionally misplace it from time to time. So the only assistance I could think of was for some one to help me find where

I would have misplaced it. Our guardians saw it differently. To them, we were a group whose average age was coming up on 90 and they assigned us to wheel chairs with a guardian for each one of us. This trip is such an honor for us as most of us never expected to see the memorial in our lifetime.

So after finishing our rolls and coffee, we boarded between two rows of cheering friends and family holding flags and thanking us for our dedication and service. As our planes taxied into position, we passed under an arch of water created by a pair of fire trucks. This was our final salute of honor as we left Toledo for the nation’s capital. At 10 a.m. we arrived in Dulles to another cheering reception and wheelchairs for all. Our chairs were then loaded into buses and were with us throughout the trip.

Our first stop was the WWII memorial.

We spent about an hour and a half there, reflecting, thinking and taking it all in.

Standing in front of Freedom Wall with its 4,000 gold stars (each star representing 100 American lives lost), some veterans were moved to tears, grateful that they we able to have the chance to be at their memorial.

Of course there were many pictures taken.

We were each given a camera by the Honor Flight organization, and there were also group photos taken as well.

We then boarded buses for Haines Point Park. Weather was just right for a box lunch picnic under the trees of the park.

We toured the Korean Memorial, the Viet Nam Wall and the memorial honoring the Nurse Corps. We stopped at Arlington and watched the solemn changing of the guard ceremony. The guard only changes on the

hour so we had to wait a little there. Loading up again we drove by the Iwo Jima Memorial and the Air Force Memorial before arriving back at Dulles Airport with more flags and cheers.

It’s now about 9:15 p.m. and we are just touching down in Toledo. It’s been a very long day, but we didn’t expect to see the 300 to 400 people welcoming us back home.

There were two rows of full-sized American Flags, about 40 in all, that formed a corridor for us as we disembarked. The Genoa Community Band, with its 40 or so musicians, was playing. There were grade school kids singing, a women’s dance troupe and flags and family and friends and people everywhere expressing their gratitude and thanking us. This was a real reception!

I cannot thank enough the Honor Flight organization, the donors and volunteers who made it possible and especially our guardians who tirelessly watched over our every step. For them, the flight was not free as it cost them $400 each for the privilege of being a guardian. Thank you again for a most memorable and very long day.

Pet rescues

As many people may already know, the Humane Society of Ottawa County is in the middle of another full-scale rescue operation: this one on the beach behind Port Clinton Burger King. This has long been a favorite place for irresponsible owners to “dump” their pets, rather than making the commitment to care for them or find homes for unwanted litters. “Dumping” or abandoning animal is illegal in Ohio.

It is also inhumane. With winter quickly

approaching, abandoning animals pretty much means a death sentence for them.

Local authorities have been informed of our efforts and we will all be concentrating on stopping these inexcusable acts. Anyone found to be “dumping” their cats, will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

You have a terrific asset just minutes away — a local, no-kill animal shelter, the Humane Society of Ottawa County. They offer a variety of low-cost spay and neuter programs and are willing to assist those who need help in finding their pets homes.

We do want to thank all the people who have been involved and are still helping in the trapping, rescuing and transporting of the cats to our shelter. We appreciate the people calling when they’ve seen a cat in one of the cages; our transporters; Dr. Stone, who has made sure the necessary medications and vaccines have been available to us; to all those scrubbing floors, cleaning the cages and socializing with them; the entire staff and volunteers of the HSOC; Barb, who knows each and every cat and kitten and who has unselfishly been watching over them daily; right down to the “little lady” who crawled into a drainage pipe to pull out kittens. As a matter of fact, we think she may still be in there. We could not be accomplishing this without the help of all of you.

If you want to help by donating desperately needed wet and dry kitten food, or monetarily for medical and housing costs, stop by the shelter at 2424 Sand Road, Port Clinton, or call 419-734-4191.

Remember — do not dump these animals. They deserve better.

Two ladies of great accomplishment have passed from the scene locally. First, Maureen “Mimi” Campbell, former director of Nursing at Magruder Hospital, passed away last Friday at home.

She and her late husband Jerry, a former editor of both the News Herald and News Messenger in Fremont, left a legacy of terrific daughters who still live here and contribute lots to our community in so many ways. Also, Norma Foreman, a long-time member of Port Clinton Yacht Club. She was a mainstay of the “Wet Ones” group that exercised in the PCYC pool every morning in the summers. She was asked once why she always watched the sunsets and her answer was “because I never know when I will see my last one.” Both of these fine ladies will be sorely missed.

“The time to act is now. I will go to Washington and my first job will be to find a way to repeal the health care bill,” he said.

Kaptur told those gathered that “Liberty is not for the few but for the many.” She noted a concern that just six banks in the United States control a significant majority of the money and that controls need to be exercised.

She also noted a number of projects in Ottawa County that she helped get funding for. They include the refurbishing of Perry’s Monument, the expansion of Brush Wellman, island dockage, improvements at the Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge and improvements at Camp Perry.

I got a nice note from old friend Phil Weirich, of Oak Harbor, who I watched as an outstanding Rocket Wrestler back in the late 1970s. He has a son, Phillip Jr., who has broken the OHHS school record for goals and assists as an outstanding Soccer Player. He has more than 100 goals in his storied career.

He was second team All-Ohio last year, and just could make it to first team this year and is probably headed to college on a soccer scholarship.

“We have been working with the Hyde Amendment for 25 years that prohibits funding for abortions,” she said.

Iott responded that he has been endorsed by every Right to Life organization out there and restated his condemnation of the Healthcare Reform Bill and his desire to repeal it in its entirety.

They were asked about gay marriage and the military “don’t ask-don’t tell” policy. Iott stated that it is his belief that marriage is between a man and a woman and that the federal government has no business sticking its nose into military operational decisions. Kaptur cited a number of states that allow civil unions.

She also said that she fears for

the safety of gays and lesbians who serve openly in the military and suggested that perhaps special units be created to minimize safety concerns.

The candidates were asked about the potential for privatization of Social Security. Kaptur said she favors the current system that she has stated is sound until 2040, quoting the Congressional Budget Office and independent groups. But she noted that the Social Security system will need new revenue streams by then. Iott noted that the Social Security Trust Fund has been continuously raided by Congress to fund its programs. He noted that he does not favor privatization of Social Security, nor is that being considered as an option by the Republican Party.

The two sparred over free trade and the trade imbalance.

Kaptur wants to gut the Trade

Ambassador’s office in Washington and renegotiate all current trade agreements. Iott noted that America has the highest business taxes in the world, 50 percent higher in some cases.

“Companies exist to make a profit. When the business environment no longer works here, companies are going to move overseas,” he said.

They also spoke to energy issues.

“Nationhood takes precedence over the market place,” Kaptur said in regards to dependence on foreign oil and her determination to convert from oil to wind and solar energy.

“Let the marketplace work,” Iott said. His belief is that when alternative energy is efficient, the marketplace will find a way to make it work.

With a plan in place, Zoeller sought donations and looked for volunteers to make her project a reality. The area around the mausoleum was prepped during the first work session and planting went in Saturday.

The next part of her project will be less physical. Zoeller has chosen to delve into the history of the stone structure for the educational requirement. She said she hopes to complete the

project by the end of the year.

Then, once approved by the Girl Scouts, a ribbon-cutting ceremony will take place and she will officially earn the Gold Award — what may be the first in the area. Troop leader Gresh, who is in her 19th year with the organization, said she doesn’t know of another girl from Port Clinton ever earning this honor.

“It’s great seeing this little girl who wouldn’t say anything to this girl who can take charge.

It’s pretty awesome,” Gresh said.

A sentiment echoed by many friends and family present on Saturday.

“I think it’s really awesome she’s taking all this time out of school and everything she does,” said troop member Andrea Wells, also 17. Wells said she will “most definitely” go for the Gold Award when it’s her turn after seeing Zoeller’s plan become a reality.

“It would be nice to see what it’s really like on this side,” said Horne. “We want help from anybody who wants to help. We

A jaunt into Michigan

October 24, 2010 Happy Birthday with love from your family

Two days prior to the Columbus Day weekend, on Oct. 7-8, I took a little jaunt into Michigan. DESTINATION: The outlet malls at Birch Run and the nearby town of Frankenmuth. OBJECTIVE: Shopping for necessary clothing items, a pair of shoes and Christmas gifts. MISSION: Accomplished.

The weather was wonderful. As many days have been Send cards to 20311 Pemberville Rd., Pemberville, OH 43450 this autumn, it was sunny, warm and dry. It was not necessary to wear a coat or jacket. There were a few sales at Birch Run but most of them were not yet taking place and Create Your Kitchen or Dream Bath! would start on Saturday of the holiday weekend. It would be good to remember that for another time.

I did find some black shoes (badly needed but ugly, I must say), several gifts, some books, two sweaters and a offers a huge selection of Corian colors & few other items.

It is now billed as the largest of its kind in the world! But I’m saving a visit there for the next time I go to that area.

Oh, about the books I found … an author is doing a contemporary series of novels, each based on a story by Jane Austen. I found “Possibilities” (based on “Persuasion”). “First Impressions” (on “Pride and Prejudice”), and “Reason and Romance” (on “Sense and Sensibility”).

Although I’ve not yet had time to begin reading them, I’m looking forward to delving into them on some cool evening this autumn or winter.

A couple of things were different about the Michigan landscape on the drive north up Routes 23 and 75. Although goldenrod was still bright yellow here at home, the color had all faded from them farther north. It had that dusty, dirty look it takes on for the winter. Also, phragmites — the very invasive, grassy plant species — seemed 1 Female, 3 Males, 12 weeks old not to be at all prevalent up near Frankenmuth. But it is 1st & 2nd Shots, Vet Checked & Chipped growing in abundance north of Toledo. In one place it was Dam: On site thick for miles along the west side of the highway.

Sire: Ocean working dog in Rhode Island Phragmites is somewhat attractive. It’s tall and has a seed head on the top of the stalks. It looks as if it would make a good background planting in some garden areas. But once it gets a foothold, it is nearly impossible to eradicate.

So if it shows up on your property, don’t waste any time in doing battle with it.

“American Grace” is a big book with 550 pages of text. It is scholarly and contains the results of numerous survey questions about religious practices in our country, dating back to the years following World War II. It traces rises and declines in worship attendance and observances in those years and explains what prompts these trends. Most interesting, though, are vignettes of visits the authors made to various congregations. In these they give great verbal pictures about how churches are conducting their work today.

I read most of the book and skimmed the last few chapters because time was running short. I’ll return to it soon and read it in entirety. My guess is that this iconic work will be delved into by church leaders for years to come in an effort not only to understand what has happened to churches in the past but also to plan where and how to proceed in the future.

Currently Bob Putnam is making the usual rounds of promoting the book in radio and newspaper interviews.

In a phone call to my brother, Jim Allen, at his home in Millsboro, Del., I learned that he had seen a reference to the book on the Lehrer news show on public television. So the word is getting out across the nation about this important book. nnn

Recently I have spent some time on a couple of favorite leisure pursuits by re-reading LaVyrle Spencer’s “Small Town Girl.” This is the story of a mega-star country singer who reluctantly returns to her small-town home for a month to care for her mother, following “momma’s” hip replacement surgery. The singer meets a fellow from her past and she and “the guy next door” take up the not-sogood relationship they shared in high school. Other developments occur as the month moves along. It’s a great Spencer book, a favorite of her readers. And it’s very interesting, in particular because of its glimpses and insight into the world of big show business stars. nnn

A four-part mini-series from long ago television also made an interesting diversion. Not having seen it for a while, I began by watching Part One recently and will certainly view the rest of it as time allows. It is “The Thorn Birds,” based on Colleen McCollough’s epic saga about an Australian family who run a huge sheep-raising station, and it definitely withstands the test of time. I like both the book and the video series and return to them occasionally for pure enjoyment. The story centers around Meggie Cleary, the only daughter of the family. Throughout her entire life she loves only one man, a priest, Father Ralph DeBricassart, who, of course, she cannot marry. But there is far more to the story than that and it is wonderfully interesting. nnn

It is possible that the last of the tomatoes have been picked in my garden. There is still some cabbage out there and I’m saving that to make cabbage rolls (halupki) on a cold day. Most of the zinnias are past their prime but the mums look great. The prettiest thing in the garden right here at the end of the season is the cosmos. I have them in dark pink, light pink, lavender and a vibrant white.

They did poorly all summer long but are putting on a brave show these days. And they are a great cut flower, too.

There is a large bouquet in my living room right now.

Something that is also really attractive currently are the tiny little daisy-like flowers, white with a yellow center, that grow in clusters and abounds along the roadsides and hedgerows. They make a lacy edge between my lawn and the surrounding fields and it is really pretty. There are still some blue chicory flowers, goldenrod and even some dandelions. But when we see these things we know it is almost time for frost. nnn

As time for the November election draws near, my mail is flooded with political advertisements, different from any that I’ve ever seen over the course of a long life of watching them. I don’t watch commercial television but folks tell me that the airwaves are screamingly full of vicious ads, many bearing little or no resemblance to the truth. Even a cursory reading of newspapers and magazines gives some sense of how the current election campaigns are being run.

On a local level, signs have been vandalized and stolen. I have a friend who has replaced one large sign in a public place three times. Other signs at the same location (for the opposing party) have not been touched. In his yard, signs have been trashed, stolen and tomatoes and other garbage have been thrown at the signs and at his house.

He replaces the signs regularly, moving them around even in his own lawn, to try to thwart the criminals who do these things.

PC Schools announces Flagship Captain Award winner The Flagship Awards are part of Port Clinton City School District’s recognition program to honor parents, community members, staff and students that help the dis-

trict fulfill its motto of “Proudly Charting a Course for Success.” At the Oct. 11 meeting, the Port Clinton Board of Education recognized high school mathematics teacher

Vicky Gresh Ullman with the Captain Award.

Gresh Ullman received the award based on a letter received from former student Danielle DeVore, PCHS Class of 2009. When her DeVore told Gresh Ullman she was having trouble passing the Coast Guard admissions test, the teacher volunteered her help afterschool and in the summer. This past September, DeVore passed the test and will be entering the Coast Guard in January 2011. Randall Knight, MK2 from the U.S. Coast Guard was also present to thank Gresh Ullman for her dedication.

“We can tell candidates areas on the test they need to improve but do not offer any tutoring,” he said.

He added that the Coast Guard is also appreciative of her effort.

DeVore read her letter to the Board of Education which ended: “I am very proud to say that I graduated from Port Clinton and you too can be proud to have Ms. Gresh on your staff. Ms. Gresh has gone above and beyond when it comes to caring for her students, especially since I was no longer a student. Please recognize Ms. Gresh as one of the outstanding teachers Port Clinton has to offer. Thank you to Ms. Gresh, I will never forget what you have done for me, you will always have a special place in my heart. And lastly, thank you to the Board of Education for making Ms. Gresh a teacher at Port Clinton High School.”

Oak Harbor FFA, with the assistance of the Ottawa Soil and Water Conservation District, partnered with Charlie Morse’s fifth grade class from Rocky Ridge to do water quality monitoring in the Portage River. Testing is done all along the Portage River in the fall and again in the spring by Oak Harbor FFA, Danbury Middle School, Woodmore Elementary and Woodmore FFA in addition to several schools toward the “headwaters.”Chemical tests for Nitrates, pH, dissolved oxygen and phosphates are completed as well as a macroinvertebrate count, turbidity and temperature.

The school thanks Brush Wellman for allowing them to test in their campground area and for providing lunch.

The Beacon

Riverview celebrates 10th annual Trick or Treat Night An Ottawa County Halloween tradition will celebrate its 10th year, thanks to support of the Riverview Nursing Home Auxiliary. Ottawa County Riverview Healthcare Campus will open it doors to the public for Riverview’s annual Trick or Treat Night Sunday from 6 to 7:30 p.m., Oct. 24.

Little ghost and ghouls are invited to Trick or Treat at the door of more than 100 of the resident’s doors.

“This is a win-win for both Riverview and the community,” said Kendra German, campus administrator. “It gives families a safe, well-lit, warm place to Trick or Treat and our residents have a ball getting to see all the different costumes. It something that they may have enjoyed in their own home and we are happy our Auxiliary has given us the opportunity to provide the experience right here in

our building.”

At 7:15 p.m., families can gather in Riverview’s Multipurpose Room where guests are invited to enjoy cookies and punch. Trick-or-treaters can participate in the costume contest. First, second and third place prizes will be given out to for prettiest, funniest and scariest costumes and for our littlest goblins (ages 0-2 years) a best baby costume will be given out. The Ottawa County Sheriff ’s Department will also be at the event to fingerprint children.

The Auxiliary is donating $1,000 worth of candy, but there is always need for more. Those interested in donating candy or money can call Kim Geldien at 419-8982851, ext. 200. All donors will be announced throughout the event and have their name displayed in the “Pumpkin Patch.”

When he escapes Dracula’s clutches, Dracula follows him to England, knowing who his next victim will be — Lucy Wenstrom, played by Morgan Parker. Harker and Van Helsing are unable to save Lucy from Dracula, who then turns on Jonathan’s wife, Mina (Katie Ashley). To break the spell, Van Helsing and Harker return to Transylvania, trying desperately to discover Dracula’s whereabouts. The coach breaks down, the wolves are baying and a night of

Area residents who may be interested in water plant operation jobs can join a 16week water operator’s course beginning in November. An exact date is still to be determined.

Participants in the course will receive a Level 1 Water Operator’s certificate at the end of the program, which will be conducted by the Operator Training Committee of Ohio Inc. Internships are a required part of the course and will be conducted at area water treatment facilities.

Classes will be held at the Ottawa County Resource Center on Ohio 163, Oak Harbor, and will run from 5:30 to 9:30 p.m. Monday to Thursday.

According to Curtis Truss Jr., executive director of the Operator Training Committee of Ohio, “water treatment is a field that is stable and that is an in-demand occupation.”

Truss says he has had trainees who have found jobs when they went to take the state test. Of the eight students who graduated from the last class, five of them have found jobs at area water treatment facilities while another has gone on to advance his skills at a local community college.

Historic Saturday for PCHS sports Girls CC team wins first-ever SBC title; four from tennis team quality for state

BY JOHN SCHAFFNER Publisher Maybe it all started with last season’s PC boys basketball success. Whatever the case, the winning attitude was contagious and bore more fruit on Saturday. Two Port Clinton girls’ doubles teams qualified for the state tennis tournament, while the girls cross country team upset Oak Harbor to win the team’s first-ever Sandusky Bay Conference title. The Redskin football team won its fifth game of the season, poised for the school’s first winning season since 1990, and the boys soccer team had a resounding 8-0 win over Toledo Waite in the Sectional Tournament opener.

Three years ago, I asked PC Football Coach Toby Hammond if turning around Port Clinton’s football fortunes was his toughest coaching challenge. He agreed that it was. Now, following his team’s 35-7 win over Sandusky St. Mary’s, the Redskins are 5-3 on the season with games against Perkins and Huron remaining. One more win means a winning season. No longer are the Redskin footballers the doormat of the SBC. The PC Girls tennis team, on the other hand, has dominated the SBC for years.

After Saturday’s performance, Saman-

tha Griffin, Rachael Szabo, Aubrey Gillman and Chelsea Beck will head to the state tennis tournament in Columbus this weekend. Griffin and Szabo beat Norwalk in the district semi to move to the championship match before dropping it to Lexington 6-1, 6-3. The team of Beck and Gillman lost a tough match to Lexington in the semifinals 7-5, 6-3 but came back to beat Norwalk for third place and a ticket to Columbus.

Oak Harbor’s Ashley LaFountain followed up her SBC singles and sectional singles championships with a runner-up finish at districts. She lost to Courtney Earnest, of Lexington, in the district finals match, 6-1, 6-2. It was only LaFountain’s second loss of the season.

The PC soccer team plays Saturday for a sectional title after trouncing Toledo Waite. Nick Heminger scored two goals for the Redskins in the rout.

Finally, the PC girls cross country team won its first-ever SBC title, edging heavily favored Oak Harbor. Three of the girls ran their way to the First Team all conference squad: Abby Pitts (third), Nicole Hablitzel (fifth) and Cheyenne Meek (seventh).

They are coached by Del Culver and have also drawn the interest of longtime former track and cross country coach Jim Radloff.

Kiwanis sponsors basketball Coach Diels sets parents meeting

The Port Clinton Kiwanis Club is once again sponsoring the fourth-, fifth- and sixth-grade boys basketball teams. The clinic and evaluation day is 12:15 to 1:15 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 6, from at the Port Clinton High School gym. During this session, there will be a random draft after the workout and practice times will be set.

Games will be played on Saturdays at PCHS. The registration fee is $20, which includes a team shirt. The fee can be waived since the goal of Kiwanis basketball is to involve as many players as possible. Registration forms will also be available at the elementary schools or on the school district website www.pccsd.net under Jefferson and Port Clinton Mid-

dle School News. Make checks payable to Port Clinton Kiwanis.

The Kiwanis Basketball Program provides the opportunity to gain experience, learn the game and have fun. Those interested in volunteering can call Coach Troy Diels at 419-734-4448. For questions, call Diels at the number above or Dr. David George at 419-797-6240.

There will be a meeting for parents of boys interested in Redskin boys basketball, grades nine-12, at Port Clinton High Schoolat 6 p.m. Oct. 28 in the PCHS library. The Ohio High School Athletic Association re-

quires such a meeting to take place. Coach Troy Diels and assistant coaches will review requirements for athletes and discuss the practice schedule with parents.

PORT CLINTON 35 — SANDUSKY ST. MARY CENTRAL CATHOLIC 7

Redskins on way to first winning season in decades

By J. PATRICK EAKEN By defeating St. Mary Central Catholic 35-7 at Sandusky’s Strobel Field Saturday night, this year’s Port Clinton football team will become the third PC team in 30 years to finish with a .500 record.

The last Redskin football team to do so was in 1992. The last team to have a winning record was in 1964. At 5-3 overall, PC needs one more win to assure itself of a winning record.

“I was really concerned,” PCHS coach Toby Hammond said. “Especially before the game, like I told our kids, ‘You ought to see how far our program has come.’ We’re not expected to win a whole lot, but like tonight, we were supposed to.”

The Redskins improved 3-2 in the Sandusky Bay Conference with the victory over the Panthers. SMCC fell to 1-7 overall and is winless in five SBC games.

Port Clinton did not waste any time ruining SMCC’s Homecoming party. After taking possession at the Redskin 39 after the opening kickoff, it took PC four plays to find pay dirt.

On second-and-nine, senior quarterback Derek Colston threw a 41-yard pass to classmate Josh Graves, who was wide open.

After a three-yard run by senior running back Stephen Pastor, Colston took off on a 16-yard touchdown run into the end zone. Sophomore Addison Rospert added the conversion kick, and PC was up 7-0 just one minute and 45 seconds into the game.

“We scored on our first drive and I really think that’s what got things going for us,” Hammond said. “Derek had

a big play along the sideline to Josh, and that just got my men going for us, and we took care of the ball.”

After SMCC went three-and-out on its first possession, PC went 53 yards in 10 plays, capped by a one-yard touchdown run by Colston with 4:29 remaining in the opening quarter. Rospert’s conversion kick was just left, leaving PC up, 13-0.

SMCC went on another three-and-out, and PC got to the Panther 33 but failed to convert on a fourth-and-three.

After one more SMCC three-and-out, PC went on a 69-yard scoring drive in 12 plays, capped by a 16-yard touchdown pass from Colston to Graves. Junior Andrew Leidheiser added the two-point conversion run, and PC was on top 21-0 with 4:24 remaining in the half. At that point, PC’s offense was in high gear.

“I guess that’s coaching, seeing what our kids can do,” Hammond said. “You know, it just took us a while just to see what our kids can after the first couple weeks.”

In the third quarter, PC junior defensive back Steve Wingo intercepted an SMCC pass on the opening possession, but the Redskins were unable to turn it into points on offense.

On PC’s next possession, Colston hooked up with Wingo on a slant pass, and Wingo took it 60 yards to the house with 4:19 remaining in the third quarter. Rospert added his conversion touch, and PC was up 28-0.

On SMCC’s next possession, playing defensive end Pastor recovered a Panther fumble at the St. Mary 17-yard line. Three plays later, junior running back Diante Laurel ran two yards into the end zone, putting PC up 35-0 with 2:54 left in the third.

SMCC put together a 7-play, 51-yard scoring drive in the fourth quarter, culminated by sophomore Alex Guerra’s seven yard touchdown run with 5:59 remaining in the game. Junior Cameron Wiess’ conversion kick just made it over the crossbar.

PC had 317 yards of total offense — 178 passing and 139 rushing. Colston was 12-for-22 passing for 170 yards, and Rospert completed one pass for eight yards. PC had 14 first downs to SMCC’s 10. The Panthers had 98 yards passing and 34 yards rushing.

Graves caught three passes for 57 yards, Rospert caught one for four yards, Wingo caught three for 78 yards, senior tight end Eric Reynolds caught one for five yards, Leidheiser caught two for seven yards, and senior receiver Zach Auxter caught one for eight yards.

Pastor ran for 41 yards on nine carries, Leidheiser had 36 yards on eight carries, Laurel had 27 yards on six carries, Colston ran for 18 yards on three carries, junior Joe Escobedo had one carry for 11 yards, and junior Jimmy Digby had six yards on four carries.

“We just came out and made sure we executed correctly,” Hammond said.

This week, Port Clinton hosts Perkins in another SBC encounter. Perkins is 2-6 overall, 2-3 in the SBC, but the Pirates upset state-ranked Clyde last week 20-17. The other Pirate victory was over SMCC, 29-6.

Perkins losses have been to Bellevue 20-17, Sandusky 28-7, Norwalk 12-7, Oak Harbor 12-9, Edison 21-20, and Huron 14-0.

HURON 32 — OAK HARBOR 26 After Oak Harbor opened up a 23-7 lead over Huron, the Tigers came back and upset the Rockets 32-26 in SBC action Friday night.

It was Oak Harbor’s first league loss, but they keep in a

three-way tie for first place because Clyde was upset by Perkins 20-17. Oak Harbor is 6-2 overall, while Huron joins the first place tie at 6-2 and 4-1.

Oak Harbor scored twice in the first quarter — on a 40 yard run by Jake Scott with 6:14 remaining in the first quarter and a 21 yard field goal by Miles Backus two minutes and nine seconds later to take a 9-0 lead.

But a minute and a half into the second quarter, Huron would get on the board via a 13-yard touchdown pass from Brian Rollenbacher to Brandon Krueger. John Dusza’s conversion kick closed the gap to 9-7.

Oak Harbor came back with two straight touchdowns — a one yard run by Kyle Mincheff with 5:02 left in the half and a 60 yard run by Scott with 2:50 left. Backus’ conversion kicks gave the Rockets a 23-7 lead.

Huron got on the board one more time in the first half on a six yard pass from Bollenbacher to Sean Fantozz with 35 seconds remaining. Bollenbacher threw a pass to Krueger for the two-point conversion, and the Rocket’s lead was cut to 23-15 at halftime.

Huron came out in the second half and scored two third quarter touchdowns and kicked a field goal before Oak Harbor could answer again.

Bollenbacher threw a 12-yard touchdown pass to Jake Hillman with 7:51 left in the third quarter, but the conversion pass failed, leaving Oak Harbor still up 23-21.

Then, Bollenbacher hit Hillman again for six points, this time from 20 yards out with 35 seconds left in the third.

This time, Bollenbacher completed a two-point conversion pass to Justin Hicks, giving Huron a 29-23 lead.

Dusza added a 28-yard field goal for the Tigers with 7:18 remaining in the game, and Backus added a 27-yard field goal for the Rockets with 3:37 remaining to close the scoring.

Things don’t get any easier for the Rockets. Oak Harbor travels to Clyde, which will be coming off a 20-17 upset by Perkins. That was the Fliers first loss.

Clyde has defeated Eastwood 21-17, Youngstown East 38-22, Bellevue 17-0, Port Clinton 42-7, Huron 15-0, Margaretta 33-12, and Sandusky St. Mary Central Catholic 35-0.

TOLEDO CHRISTIAN 70 — DANBURY 0 Once quarterback Lucas Kennedy got hurt, the Danbury Lakers knew they were in trouble.

Kennedy had been their all-purpose back with 1,033 yards rushing on 119 attempts (8.68 per carry) with 13 touchdowns, and completing 40-of-89 passes for 720 yards and five touchdowns entering last Friday’s contest with Toledo Christian.

Kennedy hurt his knee in the first quarter after two series. Team officials say he is doubtful for this Friday against Ottawa Hills, but he still might play. When you have barely over a dozen football players available, the loss of any player will hurt.

TC went on to defeat Danbury 70-0 last Friday in a Toledo Area Athletic Conference game. The Eagles had four first quarter touchdowns, three second quarter TDs, two in the third, and one in the fourth.

State biologists predict good waterfowl hunting COLUMBUS — Ohio waterfowl hunters should have good opportunities to take some of the most popular species of waterfowl, based on the findings of biologists at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

The spring pond index for the prairie pothole region of North America and breeding duck surveys indicate an above average reproduction for most duck species. Ponds are housing above average numbers and good production has been noted from most of the primary breeding range.

Duck numbers are slightly lower than 2009, but they are still 21 percent above the long-term average.

Closer to home, the Upper Great Lakes states showed average habitat conditions and similar production of mallards as last year. The Upper Great Lakes are the primary breeding range for mallards harvested in Ohio.

Mallards are Ohio’s number one harvested duck and can be found throughout the state.

Wood ducks, the second most important duck to Ohio hunt-

ers and the state’s number one breeding duck, appear to have had a fair production year. Late summer dry conditions may concentrate birds, but a variety of hunting locations should be available for Ohio hunters.

Canada geese are the most harvested waterfowl in Ohio and can be found in good numbers everywhere. Locally raised giant Canada geese had the fourth highest population estimate this spring and all indications are there was fair to good production across Ohio. Migrant interior populations (Southern James Bay and Mississippi Valley) of Canada geese have also had good production. With proper weather, the hunting outlook is good to very good.

With good habitat conditions, Ohio hunters will enjoy a liberal 60-day hunting season once again this year. Pintail again showed an increase in population which will allow a two-bird bag this year.

Scaup showed a slight increase in population, so there will be a two-bird bag for the whole season. The canvasback population

decreased slightly, but there will still be a full season in 2010.

The success of Ohio waterfowl hunters has more to do with weather conditions and choice of hunting location than available ducks. Hunters should be scouting their territories now and securing landowner permission where needed. State wildlife areas are in good condition with excellent fall food potential.

Heavy rains early in the summer followed by an extended drought permitted considerable growth in moist-soil plants in many traditional wetlands. A flooding of those areas by early fall rains should provide additional waterfowl habitat. Hunters should not only check their traditional spots, but also more marginal haunts for food production and water quantity.

Details of the waterfowl and all other hunting seasons can be found in the Ohio Hunting and Trapping Regulations and in Ohio Waterfowl Hunting Seasons. Hunters can also review seasons and regulations online at wildohio.com

HOW TO: Job search and get hired

BY BONNIE NUSSER Director of Northcoast Jobs Connection Some people chose to job search. Some people have to job search. It is inevitable, so you might as well learn how. Whatever the situation, there is help out there. The help that we provide in the Job Store is unbelievable. You have to see us to believe us.

We will help guide you in your job search, from A to Z. Searching for work is not as easy as it once was. There were times when you could get a job on a handshake, or maybe all you needed was a relative saying – “he/she’s a good person.� Not so much anymore. Applications, Resumes, Cover Letters, Interviews, Testing, Assessments and Internet Job Searching. This list keeps getting longer. Competition is fierce. One of the tricks is to not get discouraged. In job search seminars they will tell you that you need to get those “no’s� before you get the “yes’s.� Very rarely does someone get a job by applying to just one employer. The ratio is 9 no’s to every 1 yes. Read on for more advice and information about our services.

What’s next/first?

We can help you decide ‘what to do next’ if you are suddenly faced with the reality of having to find a different job because of a lay off or similar situation that now has you unemployed. Trained and dedicated staff are available to talk with you about your skills, your interests, what makes you ‘tick.’ This is important for the simple reason you have to know yourself before you can sell yourself to a future potential employer. When you put that Resume together, your personality needs to show. You need that interview. There are a variety of skills and interest inventories and assessments that can guide you in the direction of a career that you are suited for. Some of our assessments actually document your aptitude and knowledge in specific work

related areas.

In essence, you are the product. You have to sell ‘You’- your personality, your attitude, your skills‌‌Your next employer (and there will be one - if you want one) will be very interested in you for ‘you’. You may not have all of the skills they need, although if you have the aptitude and the drive to learn, they will train you.

The perfect resume Resumes are almost always needed now when applying for work. Your Resume is your primary piece of advertising and therefore it needs to get the attention of the person reviewing it for the next step – the Interview. You need that Interview. Your Resume is sitting in a big pile on the employer’s desk. Why should they look twice at yours? Ask yourself that question before you send off that Resume. Make sure there are no errors; spelling, spacing, or otherwise. Employers typically will scan your Resume for 10 – 20 seconds before making a decision to look at it closer. Your Resume has to get their attention.

If you have a Resume (in any shape) bring it with you when you come to see us. We will critique your current one and help you design a new one. We say design, because it is much more than just words on paper. You may even need more than one Resume depending on the job you are applying for. We have dozens of books and samples of Resume designs and outlines that you can review. Once again, the trained and dedicated staff will help you.

We will keep the Resume you design on a disk on site. The Perfect Resume should be up-to-date and easy to read. We will print or copy it for you on white or light colored paper. It’s also a good idea to carry copies with you EVERYWHERE. Typical headings in a resume would include Experience (include detail about the actual job you did – don’t assume that the reader will know what you did,) Education, Accom-

plishments/Skills, and References. Sometimes having an Objective is appropriate and sometimes not. It all depends again on the job you are applying for.

References When developing your reference list, you will need to include the name, address and phone number of each reference. If they are Professional References, you should include their name, their job title, their company name, address and phone number.

ALL References whether they be personal or professional must be contacted to let them know you are using them as a reference. Give each of them a copy of your Resume. It is also a very good idea to let them know what specific companies you have applied for and shared their names.

This way they will not be surprised when they get that reference check phone call or letter.

Who to use as references? The rule of thumb is to use more professional than personal. Use male and female. Unless you are in these professions, don’t use clergy, attorneys, or doctors. Relatives are rarely appropriate.

Ace that interview!

Now, you landed an Interview! In order to interview well, you must know yourself and be very confident and able to talk about yourself. This is more difficult than one would think. We typically can speak about others better than we can ourselves.

You might want to look over some descriptive words and/or ask friends how they would describe your personality. You also need to be ready to talk to employers about your strengths using examples and explanations. Employers are looking for more than one word answers to their questions. They would like your answers to be short yet informative.

What to take to your Interview? Take copies of your Resume, reference list, paper, pen and a list of questions in a folder or briefcase. The questions could be from that all important RESEARCH you did on the company you are applying for. You can easily conduct research about a business or occupation on the Internet. Look through their web site to learn more about them.

Have some questions ready about something that you read. That will impress the interviewer. You actually ‘studied’ for the interview! You came prepared and it will show. There are several resources at the Job Store that can help you research the company as well. Leave your cell phone in your vehicle or turn it off completely during the interview, if you choose to have it with you.

Don’t forget how important that first impression is. Have a firm handshake, good eye contact and smile. That handshake –

women too, needs to be firm, not ‘wimpy.’ Also, when you enter an employer’s ‘house’ your interview has begun. It starts in the parking lot. Pretend as though there is a camera on you from the time you enter the parking lot to the time you leave the parking lot. The employee in the guard shack, the receptionist at the front desk have formed an opinion of you, and they won’t hesitate to share their thoughts with the interviewer, especially if it was not good.

Dress for success Dressing for success is part of that interview. When interviewing, you want to impress the employer. Experts agree that dressing one step above what you would wear for the job is most appropriate. Most people can wear the color blue well, so that is usually the best color. Wearing layers of clothing is also good for temperature changes. If it is necessary to purchase a new outfit for interviewing, think about sales, used clothing and clothing care.

One classic outfit can go a long way. Many counties have clothing banks. Ask at The Job Store.

Keeping that job — work ethics The advice we have for you in this section is more about how to behave while working. The term “Don’t burn any bridges� is very fitting, and also very true. Make a good name for yourself in the work world.

Take pride in your work. Have a positive outlook. Speak well of others. Think about if you were the employer. Would you appreciate an employee who comes in late, or just at the ‘buzzer?’ The hours you are supposed to work are not a convenience for you. They are what the employer needs.

Would you appreciate an employee who gets their paycheck at noon and decides just then to take the rest of the day off?

When you are gone from work, unscheduled or last minute, think about how this will affect your fellow employees - who will need to pick up their pace to get the product out the door because of your unexpected absence. Someone has to cover for you when you are not there.

Integrity, honesty, loyalty, dedication, responsibility and reliability are just a few values that come to mind that make for an excellent employee. Employers will forgive for an honest mistake. Don’t be one who covers things up or place blame on others for their own mistakes. We can give you some good advice dealing with work situations should you find yourself in a bind with a co-worker or supervisor, so don’t hesitate in calling us. Getting the Job was a job in itself, right? So, let’s work extra hard to Keep that Job!

Financial Focus

Consolidating retirement accounts can pay off Now that fall is officially here, change is everywhere. The days are shorter and cooler and, in many places, the trees are bursting with color. In preparation for the long winter, squirrels gather nuts and put many of them together in one place. If you’re nearing retirement, you might be able to learn something from our furry friends, as you, too, may want to consolidate some of your assets — in particular, your retirement accounts — as you prepare for a new season in your life.

You might be surprised at the number of retirement accounts you’ve accumulated over time.

For example, you may have 401(k) plans with a few employers, along with IRAs that you’ve established with different

financial services companies. If you were to consolidate all these accounts with just one provider, you might find several key advantages.

Possibly the biggest benefit of consolidating your accounts is that it may make it easier for you to track and manage your retirement assets. Once you retire, you could choose to do any number of things: travel the world, pursue your hobbies, volunteer or even open a small business or do some consulting. But whichever retirement lifestyle you choose to follow, you will need to know how much you can afford to withdraw each year, how you can stay ahead of inflation and how best to control your investmentrelated taxes. You may find it easier to accomplish these things
