Hill 881 South

BY JOHN SCHAFFNER

I went to my first “Sousa Concert” on Sunday afternoon presented by the Port Clinton High School Band (along with several community members, including Jon Waters, Assistant Director of Bands at Ohio State who is from Elmore). Band Director Rod Miller is a patriot and a devotee of John Phillip Sousa. He integrates a marvelous history lesson with this concert, their 3rd annual. Anyway, part of it saluted 10 surviving veterans from Iwo Jima. Perhaps the most moving portion of the concert was the young students depicting the famous flag raising at Mount Surabachi. Thankfully, Al and Carol Riznikove of Focus Point Studio, who were doing the sound and lighting, managed to capture a photo of that re-enactment. Kind of sends shivers up your spine, doesn’t it? –––––––– We had 148 entries in our Find Wylie contest this week. Our winner is Mrs. Randy Simmons of Sandusky who found Wylie hiding in the Nick’s Roadhouse ad on page 12A last week. Mrs. Simmons wins a $20 gift certificate to Crow’s Nest. Our “Win it on the Web” Contest winner this week is Emmy Bryan of Port Clinton chosen from 76 entries. Emmy wins a $20 gift card from Friendship Food Stores. We’ll hide Wylie again this week and when you find him, fill out the Find Wylie Ad and drop it at our office (Beacon Place Shopping Center, next to Goodwill) or … click on Wylie on our website homepage, www.thebeacon.net or … click on the “Win it on the Web” icon. You could be our next winner. –––––––– It seems a retired Catholic priest who lives on Catawba went to a service in Bowling Green last week and decided to return along the scenic State Route 105. He came upon a police cruiser going slowly with his lights going, then noted lots of people lining the streets. Thus, he became part of the Right to Read parade in Pemberville. So what did he do? “I rolled down my windows and started waving!!!” Uh, Father, we have several parades this weekend you might consider joining!!! –––––––– Congratulations to Jason Laubacher and Kelsey Gahler of Oak Harbor and Charles Hurt and Ann Marie Gonzales of Port Clinton, winners of the 2008-2009 Sandusky Bay Conference Sportsmanship Awards. –––––––– Listen up, all you Port Clinton High School graduates. The PCHS Alumni Association will hold the 125th Anniversary Alumni Gathering September 25 and 26. Lots of very special activities are planned, including a tailgate party at True Lay Stadium before the PC-Edison game; a brunch at PCYC Saturday morning, and a big party at Mango Mama’s Saturday night. All this will happen in conjunction with the Harvest Festival that is coming back that weekend. –––––––– Earl D. Mack, Jr., Deputy Director, Ohio Dept. of Public Safety, Division of Homeland Security will be the featured speaker at the 4th Thursday Republican Lunch Bunch at the Port Clinton Elks Lodge at 12 Noon. No reservations are necessary. –––––––– The Friends of the Hotel Lakeside will hold their Annual Pancake Breakfast this Sunday, May 24 from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the Wesley Lodge. Tickets are available at the door. Proceeds are used to help renovate the grand Hotel Lakeside. –––––––– The Port Clinton Community Band is organizing again for the summer season. Anyone who enjoys music is invited to dust off the old horn or drumsticks and join in. Practices are Monday evenings at 7 p.m. in the Port Clinton High School band room. –––––––– Ohio Retired Teacher Association Executive Director Ann Hanning will be the guest speaker for the Ottawa County RTA’s noon lunch meeting next Thursday, May 28th at Trinity United Methodist Church in Port Clinton. Reservations can be called in to Joyce Doust at 419-635-2446. –––––––– St. Paul Lutheran Church on Church Rd. in Marblehead is having a “Trash & Treasure Sale” this Friday and Saturday from 9-5 on Friday and 9-Noon on Saturday.

William L. Matthews Jr., a Port Clinton native and PCHS graduate of the class of 1966, followed his life-long dream to be a Marine just like his father who fought in the South Pacific battles of WWII. Bill enlisted in the United States Marine Corps immediately following high school. The Marine Corps trained Bill for combat and to be a wireman in Khe Sanh, Viet Nam, now part of the illustrious Marine Corps history. Khe Sanh was involved in a continuous bombing of the base and surrounding hills for the “77 Day Siege”. Most of Bill’s time in Khe Sanh was spent at the combat base. He was supposed to rotate within 30 days with other 3rd battalion 26 Marines wireman on the surrounding hills of Khe Sanh. The hill that Bill eventually went to was called Hill 881 South. With the start of the siege, January 20 1968, it made it impractical for unnecessary trips from the Khe Sanh base to the outpost hills. It was during this period that Khe Sanh was under siege by a North Vietnamese Army (NVA) force which reached a peak of more than 30,000, or six times the number of US Marines which were garrisoned there. Logistical support by ground had become impossible due to the concentration of NVA forces and the monsoons washing bridges away. Logistical support by air also became so hazardous that only the plight of the Marines and the President’s order to ‘Hold Khe Sanh’ could justify the terrible losses of aircraft encountered in re-supply attempts. Several C-130s and C-123’s were destroyed on Khe Sanh’s airstrip while attempting to bring in the supplies required to ‘Hold Khe Sanh.’ The enemy siege became so tight that C-130s were finally prevented from landing and were forced to resort to paradropping the supplies, some of which fell to earth outside the perimeter of Khe Sanh and became sustenance for the enemy. Helicopters still had to brave the heavy mortar, artillery, rocket and automatic weapons fire to carry the critical supplies from Khe Sanh to the surrounding outposts. The losses of helicopters in the attempt became so numerous it was obvious a less costly method had to be developed if the outposts were to be held. An imaginative plan, the “Supergaggle,” was developed to re-supply the beleaguered outposts by helicopter from Dong Ha. The plan had one very serious drawback - the heavy monsoon weather prevented VFR (visual flight rules) through the high hazardous terrain between Dong Ha and Khe Sanh. Another detrimental factor was the Khe Sanh TACAN (tactical air navigation) and GCA (ground controlled radar approach) facilities were inoperative most of the time due to constant enemy bombardment. The plan was a bold one. Fully aware of the aeronautical skill required and the hazards that would be involved, the courageous pilots of HMM364 a unit called the “Purple Foxes” readily accepted

Marine L/CPL William L. Matthews, Jr. this tremendous challenge. Through their valiant efforts, and only through their efforts, were the outposts around Khe Sanh sustained and provided with the means of holding the area and maintaining constant surveillance of the enemy. Finally about mid-March during the siege, thanks to the “SuperGaggle”, Bill was to relieve his fellow wireman on Hill 881 South. He made it through the official (January 20 through April 9th) days of the 77 day Siege. He was about to leave the Hill 881 South when the NVA made a last big go at the hill, a mortar round ended his life on the 15th of April. Bill’s name along with 45 other “Warriors of Hill 881 South” are on a plaque dedicated at the National Marine Corps Museum in Quantico, Virginia on November 10th of 2006. No one in Bill’s family knew of this dedication until recently. A member of Bill’s family, Dick Mullins, Bill’s cousin and also a Marine, saw a lonely post on a Khe Sanh Veterans website that simply said “ KIA”. Dick opened the post, it read “L/Cpl William L. Matthews Jr. KIA 15 Apr. 1968 RIP Earl.” Dick emailed Earl and asked him how he knew of his cousin Bill. Earl Huse was a fellow wireman and a friend from the Khe Sanh Combat Base. More than likely according to Cpl Earl Huse, Bill was his replacement on Hill 881 South. Earl showed Dick the website for the “Warriors of Hill 881 South”, and now the entire family knows. Earl has never forgotten his friend and “Brother” from Khe Sanh. Dick Mullins thought the city of Port Clinton should also know about the first casualty from Ottawa County killed in Viet Nam, L/Cpl William L Matthews Jr. died as a very proud Marine, and “A Warrior on Hill 881 South”.

Port Clinton’s Traveling Flag BY JOHN SCHAFFNER There is an American flag in Ottawa County that has been, and will continue, to make the rounds, so to speak. Just like all American Flags, wherever it flies, it is an honored place. Richard Ellis, spokesman for Port Clinton’s VFW Post 2480, called The Beacon on Tuesday morning to inform us about the flag donated by the local Post. It first went to the Ottawa County Courthouse at the end of April and remained there for two weeks. That is when the traveling began. The flag was taken down from the Courthouse and taken to the Ottawa County Veterans Services office on State Route 163 near Oak Harbor. The flag came down Tuesday and was transported to True Lay Stadium in Port Clinton where it will remain until Friday, May 22nd. At 1:30 Friday afternoon, the flag will be taken down by VFW Honor Guard and marched to Bataan School for the annual Bataan Memorial Ceremony

honoring the men of Port Clinton’s Tank Company C, who deployed to the Philippines in late 1940 and were captured by the Japanese on the Bataan Peninsula in 1942. Barely half of the Company survived the Bataan Death March and over three years of cruel captivity. Only one survivor remains from Tank Company C, Joe Hrupcho who served as Grand Marshall for the Memorial Day parade two years ago. The flag will fly on the flagpole at Bataan School until Monday, when it will be taken to Port Clinton’s Memorial Day Service and will fly over Veterans Memorial Park on Adams Street. It will remain there for several weeks and will be once again hauled down and delivered to the Air National Guard’s 200th Red Horse Unit at Camp Perry. The flag will accompany the unit to a deployment in Iraq next April. One flag, so many honorable places to fly! May it help us all remember all the sacrifices made to help keep us free. Port Clinton Kiwanis Club observed Law Enforcement Day on Wednesday, May 6 and presented Dean Hammer with the Deputy of the Year Award and Bruce Szilagyi as Port Clinton Police Officer of the Year. Pictured here L-R: Sheriff Robert Bratton, Deputy Dean Hammer, Officer Bruce Szilagyi, Roger Akins (PC Kiwanis President) and Bob Case (filling in for Police Chief Tom Blohm.)

Which theory is correct? Obama is the greatest orator since FDR, and has so fogged the news media and our youth that they think they are in an Evangelical Revival Meeting. Or no one has so crystallized our nationsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; problems with the eloquence of his vision. Mass voter defections to the Democrats now including Arlan Specter. Or Specter has not been a good Republican since he spiked Judge Bork for the Supreme Court, as Bork was considered the greatest living judge at that time. He has promised no lobbyist in congress or he hired 17 in his first two weeks. He says he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to run the Auto industry, yet fired Oak Harbor the CEO of General Motors and threatened the lawyers 7:30 a.m. of Chrysler if they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cave in to his demands.

I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care about Cartyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offer to cut grass in the Toledo parks - and was pretty sure Sheriff Braton would live down calling the idiot ice fishers idiots and might be honored so I quickly turned to my favorite newspaper editor and the Beacon.

The Beacon I

Thursday, May 21, 2009

BeaconBits Memorial Day is coming up this weekend. The special day will be celebrated on Monday, May 25 and is a national holiday. Since 1971 it has annually been observed on the last Monday of May. Formerly known as Decoration Day, it commemorates the men and women who have died while in U.S. Military service. Decoration Day was first enacted by the Grand Army of the Republic in 1868 and designated as a day to “decorate” the graves of union men who had died in the Civil War. Veterans posts and comrades in arms were encouraged to arrange fitting services and tributes as well as to decorate the military graves. Later on (after World War I) the day was expanded to honor the American casualties of all wars or military actions. More recently this season has become a time to honor all deceased people by cleaning up and decorating their gravesites. Many folks visit cemeteries or attend memorial services. A moment of silence is observed nation-wide at 3 p.m. Eastern Time. Volunteers from various organizations place small flags on all military graves. Other, happier celebrations are family picnics, parties, trips, games etc. Memorial Day is viewed as the day that opens summertime activities. Parades are often held with members of fraternal, civic or youth organizations taking part. And so, here we are, ready to celebrate Memorial Day and quite ready, in fact, to start summer. ~~~~~~~ I already have begun to celebrate summer with a onenight stay at Sunnybrook Trout Club’s Farrell House Lodge. That was last Wednesday. The Farrell Lodge is really an inn – rather like a Bed and Breakfast - near Sandusky. It has ten guestrooms with various and amenities. The rooms range in price and the lodge is on a very scenic 130 acres. Grand trout streams run through the grounds. Farrell House owner Doug Lamb once was a retailer and bought the club after his retirement. The facility was built in 1941 as a private residence for

Member SIPC

a wealthy local businessman but was later turned into a fishing club. The club now has about 180 members. If you are a guest there and want to fish, you can buy a oneday guest fishing pass for $65. Gear is also available for rent. I’m told it’s a perfect place for fly-fishermen, but I didn’t try my luck. I did enjoy watching the fish, though. The trout stream’s waters come from the underground streams in or near Castalia and then run briskly on to empty into Sandusky Bay. The trout are not native to the area. They were stocked in the streams in 1873. I heard about the club from an article by Steve Stephens in the Columbus Dispatch. Some of the information written above was extracted from the Stephens article and some came from Mr. Lamb when I called to make the reservation. It’s a neat place and a very enjoyable place to stay. ~~~~~~~ I read an Associated Press article that said that the $250 stimulus checks that some folks will receive soon may be like “a loan” for many (people). It seems as if no one is eligible for both the full tax credit and the promised stimulus payment. And the $250 may affect a persons 2009 tax bill even though the stimulus money is not taxable income. I didn’t really understand the article but it appears that some people may have to give the $250 back to the government at tax time next year. It’s confusing. So a good idea would be to ask an accountant or the social security office about this if it seems confusing to you, too, or if you need more information. ~~~~~~~ There’s a little book out called “Test Your I.Q.” I bought it and decided to try the first test. I was doing okay (actually fairly well – or so I thought) when I came upon a question that showed a bunch of dark circles with a white line and a white dot in each one. In each succeeding circle the line and dot had moved. The question was to pick out from the possible answers the circles that would be next in the series. I looked and looked at it, finally gave up, and went on to other questions. When it came time to grade the test I looked at the answers and didn’t understand that problem even when I knew which answer was correct! If it is this perplexing, maybe I don’t need to know what my I.Q. is! I put the new book down and haven’t looked at it since. ~~~~~~~ Dale Wendt came in to the County Recorder’s office a few weeks ago and asked if we would be interested in some old church records. He had purchased the church building formerly belonging to the Latter Day Saints in Carroll Township. In an old desk, and in some other places, were some very old records of births, deaths, baptisms, etc. I suggested some organizations I thought would like them and later received a note from Donna Gyde.

Dale had taken the memorabilia to the Carroll History meeting, amazing the members with what he had found in the old church. The organization intends to copy BY VIRGINIA PARK the original records so the information on them is available for research. Copies will also be given to the Ottawa County Genealogical Society and placed in libraries as well as in the history building at Carroll Township. So – thanks to Dale Wendt – these important old papers will be saved for posterity. ~~~~~~~ Main Street Port Clinton will host the annual Walleye Festival this weekend, May 21-25 at Waterworks Park. There will be fun for all ages so trot on down to see what’s happening there. Also, on Sunday, May 24, the American Legion will host its regular Breakfast Buffet from 8:30 to 11:30 a.m. Cost is $6 for adults and $3 for children under age 12. Location is at the corner of Christy Chapel and Sand Roads and the public is invited to attend. ~~~~~~~ Here’s a heads-up about a date change that’s been announced by the Riverview Nursing Home Auxiliary. The group’s annual autumn luncheon at Catawba Island Club has been changed to October 7. And the gift shop at Riverview is now stocked with spring and summer items. There is a nice selection of hand-painted vases, ornaments and other fine things. The Otterbein North Shore Retirement Community Auxiliary also hosts a gift shop in the main building at North Shore, just to the west of the gates of Lakeside. The shop has been newly renovated and features a variety of items including greeting cards. Quilted handbags and coordinating fashion accessories top the list of things to look for. Call 419-798-8203 for more information. ~~~~~~~ I’ve heard that May is “bike” month – a time when drivers are encouraged to leave their motorized vehicles at home and ride their bikes to work or school. If you can participate, it will help the environment. ~~~~~~~ Maureen Saponari of the local Salvation Army unit says that Camp NEOSA provides a great free camping experience for children ages 6-12 from low-income families. Transportation to the camp is provided. Activities geared to campers’ physical, social, and spiritual needs are featured. Proper rest, balanced diet and exercise along with many traditional camping exercises, games, crafts and lots of other good things to do are offered to the children June 17-22 at the camp. It’s located on 200 acres on Leeville Lake. Call 419-732-ARMY to inquire about registering.

Ottawa County Bar Association Names Essay Award Winners BY JOHN SCHAFFNER It is an annual tradition in early May … a tradition fostered by now retired Ottawa County Common Pleas Court Judge Paul Moon. It is called Law Day and is observed every year with a special luncheon hosted by the Port Clinton Kiwanis Club at their regular Wednesday weekly meeting. This year’s featured speaker was Mel Maurer, one of America’s leading scholars on the life and accomplishments of Abraham Lincoln, both as a traveling attorney and as a politician and American President. Maurer, who resides in Westlake, is a member of the Lincoln forum and is president for the Cleveland Civil War Roundtable. He spoke about Lincoln’s life and travels and used several humorous excerpts from Lincoln’s speeches. One of them was Lincoln’s response to Stephan Douglas calling him “two-faced” in one of their memorable debates. Lincoln responded … “If I was two-faced, do you think I would be wearing this one in public?” In light of the speaker, Ottawa County students were invited to participate in the annual Bar Association essay contest. The topic they were to write about was simply … “Lincoln, the man and the President”. The winner was Sarah Harder, a senior at Oak Harbor High School Danbury sophomore Rebecca Hartman was second and Port Clinton senior Shelly Wagner was third. All won cash awards. The Ottawa County Bar Association also presented the

agement District. Schwan, also known as “The Recycle Guy”, talked about the five most common recycled items; glass, plastic, paper, aluminum cans and steel. He noted when considering what to recycle only those plastic containers with the number 1 or 2 in the center of the triangle on the bottom are recyclable. He said it is important to recycle because plastic is made out of oil, one of our precious natural non-renewable resources. Other interesting facts he shared included tissue and cereal boxes are not recyclable because they are made from pressed cardboard, and pizza boxes are not accepted due to the potential of grease or food remaining on the cardboard. Also, Styrofoam products like cups and egg cartons are not recyclable. Any metal a magnet will stick to is recyclable. Club members also enjoyed making paper from recycled pink and purple paper pulp while learning how producers, consumers, and retailers are interdependent. The presentation was entertaining and educational. Recycling sites in Ottawa County can be found on the Joint Solid Waste Management District website at www.recycleoss. org. 4-H club members were reminded to bring baked goods for the annual Ace of Clubs “Send a Kid to Camp” Bake Sale on Saturday, May 23 from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Kroger in Port Clinton.

Stop Smoking Before it Starts On Monday, May 18, Port Clinton High School students in Future Professionals in Medicine (FPM) visited grade five classrooms at Jefferson Elementary. The older students used several tools to educate the younger students about the dangers of smoking. They pointed out how tobacco companies are targeting advertising to younger consumers. Students also had several teaching tools to show a smokers mouth compared to a non-smoker, lung capacity of a healthy lung compared to lungs with emphysema and lung cancer and much more. The highlight of the lesson for the 5th grade students was to see a pig’s lung and see how a lung functions. Natalie Twarek, PCHS School Nurse and FPM advisor, said they are visiting younger students because studies show smoking can start as early as middle school. The Tobacco Education program, “Be Smart, Don’t Start” is presented annually to grade five classes in the Port Clinton City School District including ICS. PCHS Future Professionals in Medicine members presenting were Melissa Benfer, Becca Day, Alexis Jones, Melanie Oreskovich and Logan Wheeler.

Business Lake Erie Business Park Attends Wind Convention James McKinney and David Fahrbach, owners of the Lake Erie Business Park in Erie Township, attended the American Wind Energy Association’s WINDPOWER 2009 Conference & Exhibition in Chicago last week. The fourday event attracted more than 23,000 professionals from the wind energy industry and over 1,280 exhibitors. “The convention was almost twice as big as the one we attended last year in Houston,” said McKinney. “The alternative energy industry just continues to grow, and it is exciting to develop relationships with companies that might benefit from the assets available at the Lake Erie Business Park.” A large display at the convention featured the local business park as the home of the country’s first rooftop mounted “Wind Cube” installation. The mammoth 60 kW Wind Cube, developed by Ohio’s Green Energy Technologies, was installed in April as part of Crown Battery’s expansion to the Lake Erie Business Park. Crown Battery will use the electricity generated by the Wind Cube and a

13.4 kW solar array to charge industrial strength batteries at the brand new 15,000 square foot Renewable Energy Center. “We’ve developed a successful value proposition that is attractive to companies who want to be able to predict what their energy costs will be ten or twenty years from now,” said Fahrbach. “Burning coal or natural gas might be a bit cheaper now, but most experts predict that electricity generated by those sources could rise rapidly, especially if the country adopts a carbon tax.” While at the convention, the duo attended a special reception for Ohio-based businesses where they were able to speak directly with Governor Ted Strickland and Lieutenant Governor Lee Fisher. “Ohio had a big presence at the convention this year,” said McKinney. “The administration is definitely working to capitalize on the area’s industrial base as it works to attract green-minded businesses to the state.” In addition to a wide variety of manufacturers of wind-related components, economic development teams from Lucas County, Lorain County, Hardin County, and Cuyahoga County promoted the benefits of starting or expanding businesses to Ohio. “Whether it is rail access, 4-lane highway access, affordable manufacturing space, or a qualified local workforce, our local area has the assets these companies are looking for,” said Fahrbach. The team installed a 60 meter-tall meteorological tower in September 2007, which has now gathered over 18 months of wind speed data. “Because of our location on the lake, our park has some of the best recorded wind speeds in Ohio,” said McKinney. “It was great to actually be able to show these companies over a year’s worth of data about our wind resources. They definitely take you David Fahrbach, left, with Governor Ted Strickmore seriously when you have the data in hand. We inland at the WINDPOWER 2009 convention in Chivested a lot to get ahead of the game and now we have to cago. capitalize on our efforts.”

Terra Nominees Recognized by Ohio Association of Community Colleges Two men who been instrumental in the growth of Terra Community College were honored by the Ohio Association of Community Colleges during a ceremony on May 15. Tom Wylie received the Distinguished Alumnus Award while former State Representative Chris Redfern received the Friend of Community Colleges Award. The recognition is part of the OACCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spring conference in Dublin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is an honor to be able to recognize these two individuals who have been such strong supporters of Terra over the years,â&#x20AC;? said Dr. Marsha S. Bordner, president of Terra and Catawba resident. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It takes many supporters to make a college work, and these are two of the best.â&#x20AC;? Wylie is not only an alumnus of Terra, but he also served as an instructor and as the Executive Director of the Community and Industrial Development Center for four years. It was in the latter capacity, in 1997, that he earned acclaim when the center was considered one of the top three in the state for comprehensive service to Ohio businesses. The holder of two Terra degrees, Industrial Electricity in 1980 and Electronics in 1983, Wylie is currently the Vice President of Workforce Development at Northwest State Community College in Archbold. He also has a Bachelor of Science in Industrial Technology and a Masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in Career and Technology Education, both from Bowling Green State University. Terra provided a strong base for Wylieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s career. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Terra helped me find my true interest and helped me develop the skills to start my career,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After many years in industry, I came back to Terra to teach. Terra once again helped me springboard into a new career. I felt a lot of pride, carrying on the rich technical tradition we had at Terra. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Looking back after all these years, I feel that I would have never gotten to where I am today without getting my two-year degree from Terra.â&#x20AC;? Wylie and his wife, Therese, live in Archbold. They have three children, Erica, Brian and Laura. Redfern is the current chairman of the Ohio Democratic Party. He previously served as the State Representative for Ohio House District 80, and in 2003, was presented the Myrl H. Shoemaker Award for outstanding state-wide service. Terra has benefited from Redfernâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s involvement in a variety of events and causes. He is an active participant in the collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual legislative receptions, he served as the 2005 commencement speaker, he took the role of John Kerry in a student-sponsored Kerry/Bush debate-by-proxy in 2004, and he presented an overview on Governor Stricklandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vision for higher education in 2007. Redfern also was a staunch supporter of the development of the Associate Degree Nursing Program at Terra in 2006. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Marsha Bordner and the Terra community continue to do outstanding work,â&#x20AC;? Redfern said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am honored to receive this award but I recognize that it is the students and faculty of community colleges that deserve praise.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s graduation time at colleges across the country. If you have chilGARY COON, dren graduating from college, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re EDWARD probably excited about the opporJONES INVESTMENTS tunities that lie ahead for them. But once your last child leaves home, and you become an â&#x20AC;&#x153;empty nester,â&#x20AC;? you also may find some good opportunities for yourself â&#x20AC;&#x201D; opportunities to improve your financial situation. In fact, your empty nester status may help you make progress toward what are likely some key financial goals at this stage of your life: Getting rid of debt and accelerating your savings for retirement. What steps should you consider? For starters, you could downsize your home by moving into a smaller, less expensive one. If you make a profit on the sale of your home, you could use it to invest for retirement and clear up debts. Of course, you may be emotionally attached to your home and neighborhood, but downsizing may be a good financial option to consider at some point. Here are a few other suggestions for taking advantage of your empty nest: * â&#x20AC;&#x153;Max outâ&#x20AC;? on your retirement plans. If you now have money no longer needed for your childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s college education, use these funds to help save for retirement. Try to fully fund your traditional or Roth IRA, and put as much as you can possibly afford into your 401(k) or other employer-sponsored retirement plan. If you still have money available after â&#x20AC;&#x153;maxing outâ&#x20AC;? on these accounts, look for other retirement savings vehicles. * Increase your investments for other goals. Up until now, part of your investment strategy â&#x20AC;&#x201D; perhaps a large part â&#x20AC;&#x201D; was aimed at building enough resources to help your children pay for college. Since that need has now been met,

you may be free to boost your investment toward other goals, such as travel, a vacation home, charitable giving, funding for a small business you hope to operate after you retire â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the list could go on and on. And since you are probably entering your peak earning years, you may be able to add substantially to the investments designed to help you achieve these various objectives. * Reduce your credit card debt. If you have more disposable income available now, try to pay off your high-rate credit cards. By freeing up this money, you can save and invest more. * Evaluate your insurance needs. When you purchased your life insurance, you may have factored in enough coverage to pay off your mortgage, send your kids to college and provide some retirement funds for your spouse. But if your kids are through school, your mortgage is nearly paid off and your spouse has accumulated some money in an employer-sponsored retirement plan, you may not need the same amount of life and disability coverage. Any money you can save on insurance can be used to help fund your IRA, 401(k) or other investments. As an empty nester, you will miss your children, but youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll also find that you have greater freedom to pursue your hobbies or other interests. And by taking the steps described above, you can help yourself move closer to reaching your financial objectives as well. This article was provided by Edward Jones.

OttawaOutdoors Anglers Survey Offered The Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) Division of Wildlife invites anglers to visit www.ohiodnr. com/creel to take a new online angler survey. The online survey consists of 19 questions asking anglers to provide feedback on a variety of topics, including where they fish and the methods they use; what species they fish for; effects the economy is having on fishing habits; and length and rod limit regulations. Anglers will also be given

the opportunity to provide general comments about fishing in Ohio. The online survey was made available May 15 and will run through September 30, 2009. Responses to the survey are confidential. Information provided by anglers through the surveys is vital to the successful management of Ohio’s fisheries and the Division encourages all anglers to participate.

Fisheries biologists use angler survey data in combination with biological data from fish populations to identify ways of improving fishing on Ohio’s inland reservoirs, lakes, rivers and Lake Erie. The Ohio Department of Natural Resources ensures a balance between wise use and protection of our natural resources for the benefit of all. Visit the ODNR web site at www.ohiodnr.com.

2009 Ohio Spring Turkey Harvest Tops 18,500 Birds Hunters checked 18,936 wild turkeys during Ohio’s fourweek, statewide spring turkey-hunting season that ended May 17, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) Division of Wildlife. The preliminary total represents a 2 percent increase over last year’s preliminary harvest number of 18,556. In Ottawa County seven turkeys were caught in 2009 and nine were reported in 2008. Ashtabula County again led the state in the number of turkeys killed with 831. Counties with additional high harvest numbers were: Ashtabula-831, Harrison-631, Tuscarawas-609, Clermont-580, Trumbull-568, Guernsey-560, Highland-517, Washington-485, Jackson-475 and Coshocton-454.

In addition to the turkeys taken during the regular season, young hunters harvested another 1,814 birds during a special hunt for ages 17 and younger held April 18-19. The ODNR Division of Wildlife estimates that more than 75,000 people hunted turkeys during the season. Prior to the start of the spring hunting season, state wildlife biologists estimated the wild turkey population in Ohio to be more than 200,000 birds. This was the tenth spring that turkey hunting was open in every Ohio county. Only 57 of the state’s 88 counties were open to spring turkey hunting in 1999. Wild turkeys were nearly extinct in Ohio before being reintroduced in the mid-1950s by the Division of Wildlife. The first spring turkey-hunting season opened in 1966.

Landowners Can Now Extend CRP Contracts to Keep Grasslands, Protect Water Quality Some landowners whose Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) contracts expire in September can now extend their contracts, keeping the land in grassland or woodland. “That’s very good news for Ohio’s landowners, wildlife and water quality,” said Luke Miller, a wildlife program administrator with the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) Division of Wildlife “Without this opportunity, just over 17,000 acres of mostly grassland would likely be converted into cropland this fall.” “That would have a significant impact on Ohio’s grassland bird species - from the bobolink and meadowlark, to pheasant and quail,” Miller said. “But just as important, CRP grassland and forests sequester significant nitrogen and hold soil in place on erosive ground, protecting waterways from sediment, agricultural chemicals and excess nutrients.” Extensions will be offered only to landowners whose contracts have the highest environmental benefits for soil erosion. Generally landowners who planted good wildlife mixes on highly erosive land will qualify for an option to extend the contract. Extended contracts will be at the same rental rate they are currently receiving. Most contracts will be extended for three or five years. Landowners can choose to ex-

tend the entire acreage under contract or a portion of it. However, they cannot enroll additional acres and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) will not hold a general CRP signup this year. Landowners with general CRP contracts that expire Sept. 30, 2009, who are eligible for a contract extension, should receive a letter in May from the USDA-Farm Service Agency (FSA). These landowners should visit their local FSA office between May 18 and June 30 to apply for an extension. Landowners who do not receive an offer to extend their contracts can enroll at least part of the field in the continuous CRP with updated rental rates. Visit the local USDA office to sign up or call the local wildlife district office for the name of a private lands biologist who can help with applications and plant material choices. Stream buffers and filter strips are examples of eligible practices and sign-up can be completed at any time. The grass, trees and shrubs that are planted under a CRP contract provide long-term protection to soil and water while adding wildlife habitat to the landscape. In return for the societal benefits, landowners receive annual rental payments, which help offset the cost of not raising a crop on those acres.

Wild turkeys are now present in all 88 counties. Turkey hunters are reminded that licenses purchased now are also valid during the 2009 fall hunting season. Spring turkey permits are good for spring season only. Those participating in the fall turkey season will need to buy a fall turkey permit. The 2009-2010 licenses will not be printed on weatherproof paper. Sportsmen and women should protect their licenses and permits from the elements by carrying them in a protective pouch or wallet. The Ohio Department of Natural Resources ensures a balance between wise use and protection of our natural resources for the benefit of all. Visit the ODNR web site at www.ohiodnr.com.

Thursday, May 21, 2009

Faith the nation and world with which He has so abundantly blessed us. Jesus told us that all people have the God-given responsibility to “render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar’s and unto God the things that are God’s.” (MATTHEW 22) Christian people, Islamic people, Jewish people – we all owe everything we are and everything we possess to God for it all belongs to our Creator and Sustainer Who has placed our very lives, and all we are and ever hope to be, and every resource we have into our stewardship. Basically, after creating all things, God said, “I created everything – it’s all mine – take it and use it wisely on My behalf for your well-being.” Our God-given responsibilities to “Caesar” (the state) begin with the understanding that God instituted government that His people might always be kept safe and treated with justice. Those wise forefathers who established our nation gave us a foundation which recognized that among the vast cornucopia of blessings God has given us as a people were certain inalienable rights including life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. All who govern do so with the authority and resources God has given them and permitted them to have. All who govern – whether they recognize God or not – are ultimately responsible to God and will be required to make an accounting of their stew-

Good News Musings BY DR. KURT W. BOROWS, JR. RESURRECTION LUTHERAN CHURCH Memorial Day – a time to celebrate the two centuries and more of freedom that has been ours as a nation – a time to celebrate that freedom which is presently ours – a time to commit ourselves to keeping that freedom for ourselves and for our progeny – a time for family and neighborhood picnics in communities which are free of organized government oppression – a time to display the flag with as much pride as ever. Memorial Day – above all, a time to remember what it cost for us to have this blessed land of freedom and purpose – to remember and to honor those who have paid the cost with their time, with their talent – and often with their very lives. Memorial Day should also be a time to remind ourselves of the responsibilities God has given to us as citizens of The First Dock of its Kind... The LAST Dock You’ll Ever Need!

ardship – of how they kept us safe, treated us with justice, and defended our God-given inalienable rights. Here in America, the ultimate earthly authority lies with the people – with you and me. This is God’s great gift to us and our great responsibility. We delegate portions of that authority to responsible officials on the local, state, and federal levels – but the ultimate authority – and responsibility – lies with each of us. Most people – especially those living in democratic republics – get the government they deserve. How we support those who govern, how we stay informed and share our views with them and with others, and how we vote determines how we are governed. From even before our nation actually became a republic and throughout our existence as that democratic republic, there have been those whose stewardship of the land and values with which God Himself has blessed us has involved their offering the supreme sacrifice (their very lives) to keep us that land of the free and home of the brave which some of our citizens seek to condemn by challenging the very foundations of our freedoms and which millions of people each year try to enter and become a part of – legally and illegally. This Memorial Day we again remember and thank all who have given of themselves and their lives to defend the land and the values God has given us as a nation. Thank you, God, for giving us the land and the values to defend.

Angels in the Atmosphere in Port Clinton? You Decide. BY PASTOR STEVE FISH A local pastor, while searching for a building to rent for a community outreach center, found this image among the pictures he took. Pastor Steve Fish has his own thoughts. “I have been profoundly moved ever since seeing the photo and have been searching to understand its significance. I have had many thoughts, but mostly I am convinced that God intends for the Christian communities along the shoreline of Lake Erie from Sandusky to the Marblehead Peninsula to Port Clinton to Oak Harbor, Genoa and beyond, to join in this vision. To see the power of the Mighty Hand of God in reaching hurting people and sharing Jesus with all who journey here. God wants to display the power of His Heavenly Kingdom in this place in our time. It seems like a coincidence that God chose this time to display His kingdom, since we are spearheading the local movement of the Global Day of Prayer. Over the eleven days starting May 21-31 2009, 212 of the 220 countries of this world will be praying for restoration and healing of our land and our people. The first ten days will be continuous prayer May 21-30. Then Sunday May 31 at 6 p.m. we will gather at the Lakeview Park at the Port Clinton City Beach along with millions of Christians worldwide to pray for the world. The Global Day of Prayer is a call from God to meet with Him along with all our brothers and sisters in Christ to bring forth all He desires among his people. Despite the gloom of the economic times, He wants to put hope in us, to heal our families, our land and our people so that the earth will be covered with the sparkle and laughter of His glory. This is a call to be one voice, one people, seeking our Father in heaven at one time. So Come. Make a difference. For local details and the prayers see the blog Ottawaprays. blogspot.com for International details see www. g lobaldayofprayer.com. Many local churches in our area will be open from Noon to 1 p.m. to pray during the 10 days. See the blog for those open. We are updating the list of churches daily. Currently the following area churches are open: Erie Shores Church, 220 Gill Rd, Port Clinton; Grace Baptist Church, 4650 Port

In early April, local pastor Steve Fish took this picture of the former Fashion Bug at the [Bassett’s Mall] in Port Clinton. Here’s the story: Recently, we were exploring locations to begin a new Christian outreach. About an hour before an important meeting concerning this new ministry, I purchased a disposable camera at Walmart and proceeded to take pictures of various vacant buildings in both Port Clinton and Oak Harbor. The workers at the Rite Aid in Oak Harbor developed the 27 exposures a half hour before the meeting began. As I drove to the church with pictures in hand, I was amazed to see this one in the stack. I saw the angel image immediately and have been profoundly moved ever since trying to understand its significance.

When the Outside World Crumbles, Family Hearth Starts to Burn Again In every family, parents pass certain heritage on to their children, for better or worse. Our current generation, however, seems to have lost its ties to the family legacy. The sense of comfort, security and support that parents should pass on to their children has instead given place to alienation and loss of family identity. However, this is starting to change, and economical uncertainly has contributed to the re-defining of the family value system. Family members are getting closer together in search for security, emotional support and some kind of order when the whole outside world seems to be in chaos. Dr. J. Otis Ledbetter is the founder of Heritage Builders and the website (www.heritagebuilders.com) and Dr. Sherman Smith is Executive Director of Heritage Builders. Both are the authors of many books that teach basic spiritual family values. They teach parents to base their legacy on three fundamental blocks. The first one, Dr. Ledbetter explains, is an emotional component, which inspires stability at home, unconditional love and support. The second component is social and it involves spending more time with your children in social environments, such as participating in their soccer practice, for example. The third component is spiritual, and this one, according to Dr. Smith, is the most absent from our modern families. The spiritual heritage is the knowledge that children should get from their parents on how to deal with the unseen and unexpected realities of life and their relationship with God. According to history, the Great Depression had already taught families similar lessons and stressed the value of family bonds and heritage. However, since the great recession has hit us two generations later, the lessons that were learnt have been forgotten, and the corporate culture, individualism and materialism seem to have replaced the core values of family legacy. For the families wondering where to start, there are certain simple steps. Family Heritage has many easy-to-use tools, such as educational books that teach how to create or re-establish family traditions that will be passed on from generation to generation. The family traditions will create a strong sense of identity and may include events such as holidays, spiritual birthdays and other events. Then there is information on how to create a home environment that draws children back. This inviting home environment usually includes five “aromas”: affection, respect, order, merriment and affirmation. Therefore, even though the economical situation is tough and the external world might seem cruel and unforgiving, parents and children can create or re-establish their strong bonds and draw their security and comfort from their strong family traditions that should eventually be passed on to the future generations. The strength of a nation, after all, comes from the strength of a family.

AroundOttawaCounty VFW Ladies Honor Mayor Bird It’s Walleye Festival Time! The Walleye Festival Committee invites you to attend the 29th Anniversary of Main Street Port Clinton’s Walleye Festival in downtown Port Clinton. The Festival gets underway this weekend with an array of free live concerts, Kids Fishing Derby, Grand Parade, carnival rides and more than 130 food and merchandise vendors from around the nation. We hope to see you at this perfect summer kick-off!

BY MARY ANN MONAK The sixth annual celebration of the Marblehead Peninsula’s Lakeside Daisy was also a special time to honor VFW Post 7572 Ladies Auxiliary sister Mayor Jacqueline Bird. Mayor Bird is BSW, LSW Director of Nursing Home Social Services at the Sandusky Ohio Veteran’s Home. When Jackie became a member of the Ladies Auxiliary to the Veterans of Foreign Wars, she honored her father former Mayor Robert Bird, veteran of WWII, serving in the U.S. Navy. On this day in May, because of her dedication to the community and veterans, Ladies Auxiliary President Debbie Garrard and Mary Ann Monak gifted Mayor Jackie Bird with the Auxiliary’s unique hand knitted American Flag sweater. Our sweater is worn at ceremonies during inclement weather, flag raising at the Danbury football games and special occasions.

2009 Little Miss Daisy Chosen The 2009 Little Miss Daisy was crowned on Saturday, May 9, at the 6th annual Daisy Day. This year there were three young ladies who entered the contest; Olivia Dove, Claudia Gillum and Ryleigh Lerch. Mayor Jackie Bird asked each

Bluegrass Music Fills Edgewood The residents of Edgewood had a down-home Easter Party as Randy Velliquette showed off his musical prowess on the harmonica. Bluegrass music filled the facility as all in attendance clapped to the beat of his repertoire of tunes. Bubbles floated through the room and passed the residents as they giggled while trying to catch them in the palm of their hands. Familiar songs were enjoyed as they sang along. Some even had the special treat of wearing the musician’s favorite hat and crooning a duet into the microphone with him. Everyone at the party had their fill of freshly popped hot buttered popcorn, and to compliment the treat, indulged in mugs of ice cold root beer. As the party came to a close, the harmonica man brought out his well broken in set of spoons and amazed the audience with his talent. A little knee slapping, some chair dancing, lots of great music and smiles made the party a fun-filled success! “It was so much fun….we’ll have to do this again soon,” resident Fern Baumgartner said with a smile. Resident Lois Bauer giggles while catching the floating bubbles. Harmonica Man plays in the background.

Mary Arndt of Elmore had an award-winning quilt on display at the 33rd annual Quilt Show at Sauder Village in Archbold, OH. Her entry entitled “Dragonfly in Stained Glass” received first place in the Wall Quilts Appliquéd-Machine Quilted category.

NOTICE of PUBLIC Hearing #2 Community Development Block Grant FY’08 Economic Development The Ottawa County Commissioners intend to apply to the Ohio Department of Development (ODOD), for funding under the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Economic Development Program, a federally funded program administered by the State. The County is applying for an estimated direct loan/ administration grant of up to $500,000 of FY’08 CDBG funding for assistance for a direct loan to support a company’s economic development activity within the County. The firm will be purchasing land and an existing building; making building improvements and on-site infrastructure improvements; purchasing machinery & equipment, furniture and fixtures; and investing working capital. Proposed investments are estimated at approximately $2,450,000. The proposed project will be creating approximately 20 fulltime equivalent new jobs for the County over a three-year period. On April 1, 2008, the County conducted the first FY’08 public hearing to inform citizens about the CDBG program, how it may be used, what activities are eligible and other important program requirements. A second public hearing will be held on June 2, 2009 at 11:00 a.m. at the County Courthouse, 315 Madison Street, Port Clinton, Ohio 43452 to give citizens an adequate opportunity to review and comment on the County’s proposed grant application for the direct loan project before the County submits it to the Ohio Department of Development. Citizens are urged to attend this meeting to express their views.

North Coast Live

Walleye Festival – A Fish Load of Fun Main Street Port Clinton will hold its 29th annual Walleye Festival May 21st through May 25th at Waterworks Park. An array of free live concerts, a kids fishing derby, carnival rides and more than 100 food and merchandise vendors from around the area will this make this event one of Ohio’s premier outdoor weekend celebrations. Festival goers will be rewarded with the enticing smells of the funnel cakes, pizza, burgers and cotton candy. Vacationers and visitors from around Ohio will return to the Walleye Festival as Port Clintonites open their arms to welcome the thousands of Walleye Festival fans. Each year, the children can barely contain their enthusiasm as they watch the rides, and vendors set up at Waterworks Park. They dream about the Grand Parade on Saturday, catching the winning fish at the Kids Fishing Derby on Sunday, petting their favorite animals at the petting zoo, watching a mime, or catching candy thrown at the parade. They won’t rest until Mom or Dad buys them the all-day, all-you-can-ridepass for the Carnival Rides.

Live entertainment that is at the top of everyone’s list is British Invasion covering music from the Rolling Stones, The Kinks, the Who and everything from The Animals to The Zombies; Nuthin Fancy playing Classic Rock to Motown, and a little bit of country; and The Soul Men, a Blues Brothers tribute band. You won’t want to miss Rumors, G-Force three piece girls band and BE Man the Energy Man. Krush Band, playing Sunday evening, will be giving away an electric guitar to someone in the crowd. Festival goers will also have open market-style shopping as vendors from all over the country showcase their wares. Just strolling along the pathways among the vendors or around Derby Pond is sure to bring a nostalgic smile. You can hear screams of joy as festival goers ride the Ferris wheel or the Scrambler. At the end of the evening, as the sounds from the carnival fade and the bands pack their instruments, the Walleye Festival runs Thursday, May children will once again be dreaming 21st from 5 – 11 p.m.; Friday, May about tomorrow and how many times 22nd from 5 – 11 p.m.; Saturday, May they can ride the carousel or win that 23rd from 11 a.m. – 11 p.m.; Sunday, stuffed animal at the ring toss.

29th Annual Walleye Festival A Reel Catch for the Small Fry One more sign that the summer season will soon be upon us is the annual MAIN STREET PORT CLINTON WALLEYE FESTIVAL KIDS FISHING DERBY, taking place on Sunday, May 24th at 1p.m. This year’s event is Co-Sponsored once again by Morgan Realty Group\GMAC and Center Stage Barber Salon. “In the past years we’ve had anywhere from 90 plus children in attendance, even setting a record of 228 kids in 2005”, said Randall G. Lipstraw, Chair of the Kid’s Fishing Derby. “Good attendance depends on good weather, which we’ve been blessed with the last few years.” The event is entirely free to the participants, aged 12 and under. Registration begins at 12noon at The Derby Pond, fishing from 1-2p.m., and awards presented at approximately 2p.m. at Derby Pond. There will be 1st, 2nd and 3rd place awards for participants in the categories of largest fish, and most caught. The ODNR loans 100 poles to use at the event, so those participating are greatly encouraged to bring along their lucky fishing pole if they have one. Wozniak’s Sunoco

graciously donates all the bait used and Adventure Island has also graciously donated passes to be given to all participants. All participants also will receive a “goody bag”, ballcap, and the chance to win several door prizes. One boy and one girl in each age group will have the chance to win a tent, tackle box, tackle and fishing pole prize package in one drawing. There also will be a drawing for a fishing trip on a head boat, courtesy of Dick and Jan Czierwinski of Sassy Sal Charters. “The work involved for the Derby actually seems effortless with the great team of volunteers and donations from community individuals and businesses”, said Lipstraw.

JOINS US FOR THE CAVS PLAYOFFS

Port Clinton’s River Front Live! Outdoor Summer Music Program has gone through a transformation, starting with its new name, to its location now at North Jefferson Street Pier Pavilion [beside the city parking lot]. From May 29th - August 22nd, Fridays and Saturdays from 6:30-8:30 p.m., locals and tourists will be entertained with 26 nightly performances by a variety of performers ranging from the harmonies sung by a barbershop quartet, to the eloquent strings of a harpist, to the bold sounds of a 30-piece band. The purpose of the program is to showcase talent from around the area, singers, performers, and musicians, who have chosen to volunteer their talents. Audiences are encouraged to show their support of the performers through contributions during the evening. Restrooms are on-site and several local businesses will be open during show times. Attendees should bring comfortable chairs to sit back and simply enjoy the pleasures of a free concert. Co-chairs of this event, Mary Gordon and Kathy Jo Schweitzer, announced this summer program and are looking forward to warm summer nights, since rain will cause program cancellations in the open-air venue. They are looking forward to offering such a variety of free entertainment to the City of Port Clinton and its surrounding area. River Front Live! Outdoor Summer

Music Program 2009 is sponsored by the Port Clinton Area Chamber of Commerce and Neidecker, LeVeck & Crosser Funeral Home. For performers’ schedules contact the Port Clinton Area Chamber of Commerce at 419734-5503 or refer to weekly performance bios in local newspapers and calendars of events. If interested in volunteering as a performer [easylistening only], or as a River Front Live! Representative, who is present during the performances, names are being taken for next year’s schedule. Contact MSKJS@cros.net.

The original Kelleys Island, Marblehead, Port Clinton and Put-in-Bay Hook Bracelets are here! Starting at $115 in sterling silver and 14K (14K with or without diamonds). These beautiful bracelets are recognized by locals and loyal visitors alike as a symbolic treasure of our island traditions.

Website Tells of Shipwrecks and Maritime Tales The Ohio Sea Grant College Program has launched a new website, “Shipwrecks and Maritime Tales of the Lake Erie Coastal Ohio Trail” at www. ohioshipwrecks.org. The purpose of this website is to help promote the protection of shipwrecks and increase awareness of the rich maritime history which lies beneath the surface of Ohio’s Lake Erie. The history associated with each shipwreck reveals the role it played in

More than 6,000 shipwrecks are known to have occurred on the Great Lakes with Lake Erie claiming the most at 1,700. The website features historical information about the shipwrecks, as well as photographs and video
