CIRCULATION AUDIT BY

Jenny Smith, of Oak Harbor, re-cently returned from a very inter-esting trip to visit her sister, Susan Herl, who lives in Kingston, N.Y. That is just 20 minutes from Wood-stock, where the famous Woodstock Music Festival was not held 40 years ago. It was actually held on Max Yas-ger’s farm just outside Bethel, N.Y. Anyway, while we were rockin’ at Gem Beach on Aug. 15, Jenny was at the site of the original Woodstock festival on the occasion of its 40th

anniversary. She actually saw Richie Havens, a featured per-former at Woodstock back then. “It was interesting to look back and remember how much simpler life was back then,” Jenny said.

Put-in-Bay Local Schools earned a score of excellent on the Ohio Department of Education’s 2008-2009 school report cards. The district — which stepped up from last year’s rank of Effective — is the only in Ot-tawa County to receive the high mark.

"It’s a collective effort between the teachers, our board of education and the parents ... with the support we’ve got we were able to do this," said Steve Poe, superinten-dent of Put-in-Bay schools.

The district earned and Excellent rating three years ago and according to Poe, was within a few percentage points the past two years.

"We've been knocking on the door ... we are very, very

proud," he said.Port Clinton City Schools, Benton-Carroll-Salem Lo-

cal Schools and Danbury Local Schools all received an Effective rating.

Students continue to make strong gains in academic achievement across the state, according to the report cards results released Tuesday.

After consulting with family physician Sandy McLean, Sheriff Robert Bratton has been released to return to work on a part-time basis. He is work-ing several part-time days and attending various meetings in hopes he will return to his duties on a full-time basis within two and a half weeks. This follows his recent cardiac bypass surgery.

Bratton has received a clean bill of health from his cardiac physicians and McLean and he will con-tinue cardiac rehabilitation at St. Charles Hospital.

Director of Administration Deputy Rhonda

St. Clair will have his schedule should anyone wish to contact Bratton.

The sheriff is eager to return to his duties serving the citizens of Ottawa County with the staff of the Ottawa Coun-ty Sheriff ’s Office. He would also like to extend his thanks to everyone who sent cards, letters or flow-ers, and those who called or stopped by his resi-dence to check on him. It was greatly appreciated and means a great deal to him.

Levy OK'd for Nov. ballot

Back in session

The Ottawa County Board of Commissioners voted Aug. 11 to place a .5 mill levy on the No-vember ballot for the Ottawa County Riverview Nursing Home. The Commissioners have deter-mined that a dedicated levy for the debt retire-ment of it’s current $3,391,422 Building Bonds and building maintenance is necessary to main-tain the Riverview Nursing Home as a viable asset in Ottawa County. The proposed levy cannot be used for wages, salaries or benefits.

The Riverview Nursing Home staff has re-structured their operations and demonstrated that they can operate within their present rev-enue streams but those revenues are insufficient to maintain the building and its assets. The levy, if approved by the voters, would reinstate the .5 mill levy that expired last year that had supported Riverview Nursing Home’s debt retirement and general operations for many years. This proposed levy would be dedicated to the maintenance and operation of the Ottawa County Riverview Nurs-ing Home. Ottawa County Riverview Nursing Home. The approximate annual cost to a hom-eowner would be $15.75 per $100,000 of valua-tion of their home.

•••••••••

Dear Editor:Last weeks “open letter” to

federal legislators was actu-ally a lengthy rant against Congress, the current admin-istration, illegal aliens, so-cialized medicine, etc., etc. It was filled with the standard talking points written and circulated by some politi-cal party leaders. They want to prevent Congress and the administration from address-ing real problems identified in the last presidential campaign. They are also inciting people through fear tactics, mali-cious lies (eg. death panels) and the corporate-controlled media. A response addressing his multiple points and issues will be sent to the writer with copies to our representatives and available on the Beacon Web site.

To respond to his criticisms of current proposals being made to address real problems in the health care and insur-ance industry, it is important to understand the basic ques-tion. Who, if anyone or any corporation, should profit from the misfortunes of those needing medical care? Those who actually provide health care should certainly earn a salary commensurate with the cost of their investment in education, equipment, offices, staff and their dedication to address the medical problems of their patients.

However, “health insurance” companies do not provide health care. Their sole inter-

est (reinforced by a Supreme Court decision) is to make a profit. As many companies have merged into four huge conglomerates, they provide no real competition to lower premiums, provide better ser-vice to medical providers or patients and encourage pre-ventative medicine. How can there be a “free market” when nearly 30 million customers cannot obtain insurance pri-vately or through employers?

Their goals? To maximize profits, CEO salaries/ben-efits and political advantages through massive public-ity campaigns, lobbyists and contributions to elect sena-tors and representatives most favorable to their interests. How? By increasing premiums and reducing expenditures by denying as many claims as they can. Who is making the real decisions as to what healthcare you receive? Under the current private, for-profit system certainly not you or your family, and in many cases not your doctor, or the person you want to be your doctor.

Citizens frightened into opposing “socialized” medi-cine, government control, etc. should remember the same threats of rationing and name-calling accompa-nied the discussion over So-cial Security and Medicare. Medicare is a popular, single-payer plan similar to that of Canadian provinces in which private doctors and hospitals earn a “fee for service” to pa-tients (no preexisting condi-tions, no denial of enrollment for anyone currently needing medical services, etc.) Senior citizens and handicapped per-sons who are Medicare recipi-ents pay a monthly fee consid-erable cheaper than private, for-profit insurance compa-nies. This is possible under a single-payer program or a strong public option because overhead costs are a minimal 5 percent while that of private insurance companies is 30 percent to 50 percent.

Our veterans and service personnel benefit from a sys-tem most closely like Great Britain where a government (Veterans Administration and Department of Defense) owns all facilities, hires all doctors, sets wages and procedures, and is responsive to Congress and the administration.

I urge you to support a “Medicare for All” option, a single-payer plan or at the very least a strong public op-tion to bring competition back into the system and let your federal representatives know … Join me and other citizens for a Rally at Port Clinton Lakeview Park at 10:30 a.m. Monday, Sept. 28. A group of Oregon state doc-tors who support health care reform will stop in on their way to a Rally in Washington, D.C. For details, visit www.madashelldoctors.com.

Dear Editor:In response to her letter to

the editor in the Aug. 13 is-sue of The Beacon concern-ing health care in America, I would like to ask Nancy Beadle a question. The ques-tion is: Where have you gone, where do you go now and where will you go in the future for treatment of your health care concerns?

Louis Ball,Catawba Island

Dear Editor,There has been a good deal

of discussion about health care, but these are the facts most people overlook.

First and foremost any Congressman or Senator that votes for the health care even if it’s your mother or brother, should get the boot. This is not a democracy this is a Con-stitutional Limited Republic for a reason. Every congress-man and senator took an oath to uphold the Constitution. That Constitution lists their limited powers. If the power is not enumerated in the Consti-tution they are not allowed to exercise it period. Nowhere is health care listed.

Next, health care is not a right, no matter what Hill-ary, Nancy Pelosi or anyone else says. Rights by their very nature are sovereign. They cannot be given or taken away. A right cannot negate a right. You cannot negate one persons’ property rights i.e. his right to keep what he has earned through the use of government force in pursuit of another person’s need.

In addressing the cost of health care, it’s clear govern-ment is the problem not the solution. We’ve seen how they’ve limited the number of doctors and medical schools early in the last century. They have also given us the most ex-pensive redundant serial killer imagination: the FDA. It holds up already-tested, life-saving drugs for years driving drug costs through the roof while people die and it protects no one. My own son is a case in point as he was poisoned by a tested drug. The government also could save us billions of dollars by addressing tort re-form by simply making the loser of frivolous lawsuits pay but they won’t. This would drop malpractice insurance up to $100,000 in some cases. It also would eliminate unnec-essary medical tests and would trim millions of dollars re-ducing the cost of heath care. Another important act would

be to lift Congress’ ridiculous ban on the interstate selling of insurance. This would flood the market with all kinds of innovative health insurance. Virtually every intrusion by government has driven cost or slowed the process. So let’s start reversing the process.

The next step is addressing costs and perhaps most im-portant is the consumer must be in the mix where he has something to gain or lose. No longer should you be able to hand a card and the insurance provider blindly pays for $25 aspirin.

Finally we don’t want a sys-tem where a government bu-reaucrat can ration or call the shots. We don’t want a system like the VA where it takes 77 days for an emergency MRI. We don’t want a system where physicians can’t afford to treat you as we have now in some cases. We don’t want a system where the additional paper-work alone could require so many personnel and with the government setting prices could deter physicians from even practicing. And, we cer-tainly don’t want Ezekiel Em-manuel or Dr. Mengele to de-termine who and what kind of care we get.

The obvious solution for health care which is never mentioned is the free market. Sheldon Richmond in his Fu-ture of Freedom article said “a freed medical system would be competitive, entrepreneur-ial and innovative in getting services to greater number of people at reasonable prices.”

Today the Obama camp has turned the topic from health care to health insurance for a reason. Unlike Hillary Care, and according to the Wash-ington Post and a column by John Stossel, the Obama ad-ministration has formed an alliance with the big health care industry so as to control competition. So when you see President Obama demonizing the insurance companies it’s a show for your benefit. Large insurance companies will be funding the ads for govern-ment health care and writ-ing the rules that will limit competition and once again Americans will be had. With the Obama health care sce-nario, the main objective is for government to take over another one sixth of the econ-omy. We only have to think about England where their health care is the third largest employer to realize once this horrendous system is in place your stuck.

I’ve been asked this ques-tion. If government were out of health care, how would the health care needs of the less fortunate be resolved? The answer would be by allowing people to keep what they earn there would be far less needy. I can write a check as well as most Americans. With more disposable income, the always generous Americans would gladly give to private organi-zations if they demonstrated the need. It’s the way people did it more than 100 years with success.

Nugents Canal Yacht Club$7.00 • 8-Noon

3035 W. Canal Road - NugentsFor more info call 419-503-0144 It’s almost the end of the

month — almost the end of summer, too, in fact, and I have not had any real hot weather vacation yet. But it has been a pleasant, al-though busy, summer that’s gone by much too quickly!

———Following through on a

long-standing promise to two grand-nephews from Clyde, I took them to Kel-leys Island last Friday. It was a perfect day to do that. It was sunny and warm (but not hot) and there was a brisk breeze. We had set the date long ago and I had promised to go if the weather was not rainy or blisteringly, humidly hot.

My sister, the boys’ grand-mother, went along and said she had not been to the island in many years. We rented a golf cart at the dock, got an island map and took off.

Our first stop was at In-scription Rock. This is a huge boulder right on the lakeshore that was incised with line drawings by Indi-ans several hundred years ago. Wind, weather and

human beings have done decades of damage to the drawings. But, by looking at them intently and then comparing them to a chart that was made a long time ago by someone who stud-ied them, we could iden-tify some of the drawings carved into the rock.

After the boys lost in-terest in them, we turned around, went past the dock where we had landed, then headed off to the east and drove around the southern shore in what was surely the slowest golf cart on the island. We went past the airport looking for low-flying planes before we ad-vanced. On that part of the island we had a good time looking at houses and cot-tages, open fields and little wood lots.

We passed the 4-H Camp and stopped a moment to talk to its director. He told us that, in about 20 minutes from that very moment, the last group of campers would be leaving for the mainland and home. 4-H Camp is over for this sum-mer. We did get a good look at the cabins in the woods, albeit from a little distance, and then went on. This time our destination was for the fabled glacial grooves.

These are magnificent. The grooves show evidence of how great glaciers carved them as they passed over the rock as the glaciers re-ceded during the Ice Age. The first sign we came to said that this area is the greatest example of glacial grooving left in the world. The area has been main-tained as a state memorial for many years.

We toured past the state park with its campground and great beach. But it was lunchtime so, instead of stopping to explore, we headed off to West Bay for food. My sister and I had perch, of course, but one of the boys chose a steak sand-wich with fries and the oth-er had a pizza. So, among the four of us we managed to have most of the special-ties of the house!

Back on the road again we continued to tour around the western perimeter of the island. From this side we had already had some grand views of Perry’s

Memorial Monument at Put-in-Bay on South Bass Island. Now we were going steadily toward the down-town village at Kelleys Is-land and eventually turned a curve and were heading back to the east.

Downtown we saw the pubs, the town hall, the park and the Caddy Shack.

Then we toured past Zion United Methodist Church and St. Michael’s Roman Catholic Church before turning around and head-ing for downtown. We went into the island’s grocery store as the last stop where everybody (except me) got cookies and a beverage.

I enjoyed a sign in the lit-tle store; “If we don’t have it, you don’t need it!”

Here are some things to do on Kelleys Island: fish-ing, jet-skiing, bicycling, golf-carting, shopping for gifts and casual clothing, hiking, boating, camping, kayaking and more. It’s a great place to spend a few hours or a few days. And some lucky folks have cho-sen to live there for a life-time.

After we had taken a good look at the Kelleys Mansion, we headed back toward the ferry dock. It was Friday afternoon and lots of cars, campers and people were disembarking from the lat-est boat. We went aboard, again went “up top” for a good view, and enjoyed the short boat ride back to the peninsula. I love seeing the Marblehead Lighthouse from out on the lake. And seeing the Cedar Point sky-line is pretty amazing, too!

I’d had a very relaxing time on the island but was tired enough to take a nap when I got back to my own home! I think that was a result of being outdoors on a brisk day. Anyway, after a rest, I was ready to face laundry, a messy house and some other tasks. It was a good day.

———Family reunions … have

you planned or attended one lately? My Allen fam-ily reunion took place a week ago and it was made very special by the fact that brother Jim Allen and his wife Joanne came from Millsboro, Del., and were “home” in Port Clinton for

a few days. Here’s what a family re-

union offers — a chance to see family members who drive long distances to catch up with relatives (and friends), good food, sometimes an opportunity to attend worship services together, games, taking pictures, looking at old pic-tures and other family-re-lated items and (for many) a bit of relaxation.

If you haven’t attended a family reunion, I suggest you try it. It’s a great way to get to know your family better. And it’s a great time to see the babies and little children. They don’t stay little long; they grow up too fast. “Right now” is the time to see them at their won-derful squirming, giggling best.

———Did you know that the

“soap opera” called “Guid-ing Light” is going off the air? It began on radio in 1937, moved to television in 1952, and will conclude on Sept. 18. I remember lis-tening to that show when I was just a kid. It was always good entertainment.

———So here is an opportu-

nity to enjoy some his-toric cookery. The Ottawa County Historical Society will host an open hearth cooking demonstration beginning at 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 9. This will be presented by some folks who recently attended an open hearth cooking workshop.

Following the demonstra-tion, there will be a potluck meal. Call Nancy Dunham, at 419-797-2244 to reserve a spot for the meal. For the potluck, take an old-time food (or anything you think might have been served on the Ohio frontier back in the days of the set-tlers). Baked ham will be provided. For suggestions of recipes to try, contact ndcat@roadrunner.com or just fix your own special treat to add to the potluck.

All this happens at The Keeper’s House, the origi-nal stone house of Rachel and Benajah Wolcott, circa 1820. Address is 9999 Bay-shore Road on the Danbury Peninsula.

LAKESIDE — The men and women of the U.S. Coast Guard patrol and protect the beautiful Lake Erie waters, acts often unnoticed by the surrounding commu-nities. To honor the dedicated service of these men and women, the Lakeside As-sociation has slated Saturday, Aug. 29, as Coast Guard Appreciation Day. Lakeside hopes that this event continues to future Chautauqua seasons, honoring all branch-es of the military.

To show our appreciation, free access will be offered to the Lakeside grounds to Coast Guard personnel, allowing these men and women to experience the serenity and excitement of the lakefront communi-

ty. While at Lakeside, families will have the opportunity to take part in a number of recreational and cultural activities, wheth-er it is sailing, swimming, playing shuffle-board or miniature golf or attending the evening performance, Dwight Lenox — Tribute to Motown & Lou Rawls. During the opening remarks, the Coast Guard will be recognized. For information, contact 1-866-952-5374.

Admission to the grounds of Lakeside re-quires a one-day gate pass of $17 (adult), $12 (youth ages 12-18) and children under the age of 5 and guests over 90 are free. For information, visit www.lakesideohio.com or call 1-866-952-5374.

We would like to thank our customers and employees over the years for this great milestone.

er levels and, in many cases, surpass the rigorous academic standards that have been laid before them,” said Deborah S. Delisle, superintendent of public instruc-tion. “More districts have earned a rating

of effective or higher on their 2008-2009 report cards than in previous years.”

The performance index score across the state has increased by more than 26 per-cent since it was introduced in 1999-2000, from 73.7 to 92.9 this year. This perfor-

mance index measures the achievement of every student, not just those who score proficient or higher.

More than 85 percent of school districts and almost 72 percent of school buildings received ratings of Effective or higher on this year’s report cards. These figures in-clude 116 districts and 215 schools that have earned the Excellent with Distinc-tion designation. The Excellent with Dis-tinction rating is achieved by districts and schools that otherwise would have been rated Excellent based on the other three components of the accountability system, but exceeded the value-added standard for two consecutive years.

Value-added results are calculated for grades four through eight in reading and mathematics, and a composite result also is available for each district and most school

buildings. The results show whether a dis-trict or school meets, exceeds or is below one year of growth for its students.

“The value-added measure allows dis-tricts and schools to demonstrate that their students are making significant improve-ment even when they have not yet met the proficiency target,” said Delisle. “This mea-sure shows progress over time, rather than the single snapshot that test scores pro-vide. Certainly, the value-added measure can serve as an incentive for students who struggle. They can see that their efforts are paying off.”

More than 88 percent of Ohio’s school districts met or exceeded the value added standard.

“The value added results are extremely encouraging,” Delisle said. “Districts and schools across the state are demonstrating

that they are helping their students make progress, whether those students re-quire intensive support or are at the top of their class.”

The Port Clinton Harbor Patrol Unit had conducted the final Operation Safe Boating campaign Aug. 22 in conjunction with the “See Something, Say Some-thing” and “Sober Boater” campaigns at the Portage River at the city docks at the North Jefferson Street Pier.

Twenty-six vessels were stopped, boarded and in-spected as part of the safety campaigns. Eight agencies participated in the opera-tion with 22 law enforce-ment officers, on fire department staffer and a Port Clinton city councilman in at-tendance.

Three sumsonses are pending for a vessel that was stopped and did not have the re-quired safety equipment.

For those who would like to have their boats inspected, contact the Port Clinton Police Department at 419-734-3121. A ma-rine officer, if available, will respond. You must live within the city of Port Clinton. If you have your boat on a trailer, it can also be brought to the police department, 1868 E. Perry St., to be inspected as well.

If officers are unable to do your inspection at that time, an appointment will be set.

The following agen-cies and officers took part: U.S.C.G. Station Marble-head — Tim Kelley, David Contrearas, Mike Pow-ers and James Hassinger; U.S. Customs & Border Protection:— Jim McDou-gall and Brian Moore; U.S. Border Patrol — Robert Si-mon and William Albaugh; Ohio Department of Public Safety, Division of Home-land Security — Olen Mar-tin; Ottawa County Sheriff ’s Office — James Hanney and Dean Hammer; Port Clinton Police Depart-ment — Tom Blohm, Josh Nelson, Ellis Fuiava, Mike Frank, Joel Barton, Daniel Laird, Don Gaydosh and Rob Hickman; Perrysburg Township Police Depart-ment — Mike Munoz; Port Clinton Fire Department — Kent Johnson; and Port

Clinton City Council — Mike Snider.The Ottawa County Transportation

Agency allowed use of their its as a mobile office and the Port Clinton Fraternal Order of Police Lodge No. 79 donated pop for the officers.

According to Marine Patrol Coordinator Ellis A. Fuiava, a few boaters have voiced concerns about the operation. “We are not here to harass boaters, as a few of you may think, but we are trying to push the efforts in keeping the boaters safe on the water, which I had thought was our job as Marine Officers. I feel if we can check their equip-ment now, before leaving the river, we may be able to prevent or minimize the mishaps and/or fatalities on the lake,” said Fuiava.

Late summer to early fall has arrived and your excitement is building as you contemplate where you are going to explore on your mini or large travels. But there also is hesitation…

As the primary caretaker for your parents or another family member, you have more to consider than arrival and departure times or if the hotel has an in-house gym you can use. As you relax in the locale of your dreams, you want to feel reassured that your loved one is relaxing in a place where they are having fun, as well.

Senior Resources will be hosting the fourth annual Day on the Bay event on Monday, Sept. 14. This year, the event will feature an Island Hopping cruise aboard the Good Time I.

The group will board the Good Time I at the Miller Ferry Dock on Catawba Island. During the trip, seniors will visit Kelleys Island and take a trolley train tour then re-board for a cruise around the islands of Ottawa County. Lunch will be served on board during the cruise.

The Good Time I will then venture to Put-in-Bay on South Bass Island. While at Put-in-Bay, seniors will have a chance to explore the island, shop or just enjoy the scenery.

The day will end with a cruise on the Good Time I back to the Miller Ferry Dock on Catawba Island.

Tickets for the cruise, including lunch and tours, are $30 per person and are available at all Ottawa County Senior Centers. Reservations should be made early as space may be limited.

For information about this trip and other events spon-sored by Ottawa County Senior Resources and the Senior Centers, visit www.co.ottawa.oh.us/ocseniorresources/in-dex.htm or call senior resources at 419-898-6459 or 1-877-898-6459.

The Vineyard on Catawba residents and staff gathered Aug. 14 for a special event. A wonderful meal, preceded by a champagne toast, was catered by John and Roben Ben-nett and the staff of The Second Street Diner. One year ago, this adult community began enjoying dinners at the Community Center on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fri-days. The dinners have been catered by John and Roben and their family. On this occasion, 61 people gathered in the community center, where John, Roben, Chef Allen and their staff served prime rib, shrimp and scallops, wild rice, baked potatoes, grilled asparagus, carmelized carrots and assorted desserts.

Paul Shaw, housing administrator, welcomed everyone and introduced John Bennett, who gave a heartfelt toast to the residents and staff.

This meal plan runs one month in advance, with resi-dents and their guests ordering which meals they would prefer. Dinners are catered by the Second Street Diner and served in The Vineyard Community Center. Residents of The Vineyard are able to enjoy tasty yet nutritious meals while benefiting from the social opportunities of living in this unique community.

COLUMBUS — These are the “dog days of summer,” and, as usual, they have ushered in high temperatures and humidity throughout Ohio. The state Department of Ag-ing encourages all Ohioans to remember that our ability to handle excessive heat tends to decline as we get older, and that special care must be taken to prevent heat-related illness.

“Excessive heat exposure caused 8,015 deaths in the United States from 1979-2003, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,” said Barbara E. Ri-ley, director of the department. “The most common heat-related illnesses are heat cramps, heat exhaustion and heat stroke.”

People age 65 years and older are more prone to heat stress than younger people because older adults typically do not adjust as well as young people to sudden changes in temperature, are more likely to have a chronic medical condition that upsets normal body responses to heat and are more likely to take prescription medicines that impair the body’s ability to regulate its temperature or that inhibit perspiration.

Interestingly, many of the same steps used to treat heat-related illnesses can also pre-vent it. When the heat and humidity are on the rise, all Ohioans, regardless of age or activity should:

• Drink plenty of cool, non-alcoholic beverages, avoid-ing extremely cold liquids and fluids that contain large amounts of sugar or caffeine.

• Wear lightweight cloth-ing, avoid strenuous activity and rest frequently.

• Take a cool shower, bath or sponge bath.

• Remain indoors during the hottest part of the day and seek an air-conditioned environment — if you don’t have access to air condition-ing at home, visit an air-con-ditioned public place, such as a store or public library.

If someone you know is at increased risk of heat-related illness — either due to age or medical condition — Visit them during excessive heat and humidity and watch them for symptoms of heat exhaustion or heat stroke. Make sure the temperature inside their home is not too high to be comfortable. Buy or loan them a fan. Take them to air-conditioned lo-cations if they don’t have ac-cess to transportation.

Extreme heat calls for extra care as

we age

Annette ReiderFeb. 17, 1919 — Aug. 17, 2009Annette Reider, 90, of 614 ½ E. Perry

St., Port Clinton, passed away Monday, Aug. 17, at H.B. Magruder Hospital, Port Clinton. She was born Feb. 17, 1919, in Henry County, Ohio. Reider was the daughter of the late Edward and Dora (Fedderke) Wendt and the

daughter-in-law of Otto and Laura (Wilhelmsen) Reider, of Oak Harbor. On Dec. 27, 1945, in the home of her aunt and uncle, Dr. C.A. and Annette “Nettie” (Annette’s name-sake) Schmitt, of Lima, she married Robert W. Reider. He preceded her in death March 4, 1976.

Annette was salutatorian of her graduating class at Rid-geville Corners High School where she also lettered in sports. She attended business school in Lima, and worked as a secretary at the City Loan of Lima. She operated An-nette’s Gift Shop on Put-in-Bay the summers of 1953-1966 for the late Chick Linker.

It was unusual in 1956 for a woman to campaign in all of Ohio’s 88 counties, but Annette Reider did this for her hus-band’s unsuccessful bid for governor of Ohio. Ten years, later one of those 88 counties selected her the 1966 Ottawa County Woman of the Year.

Annette was involved with and was a past president of the Port Clinton Business and Professional Women’s Club and the Thursday Study Club, as well as other civic organiza-tions. For many years she was a member of the Catawba Is-land Club and the Port Clinton Yacht Club and other social clubs. In her earlier years, she volunteered at her church, especially at St. John’s Lutheran Church in Oak Harbor, and at St. John Lutheran Church in Port Clinton.

Annette co-founded Ottawa County’s first daily news-paper (The Daily News-the “News” half of the News-Her-ald), first radio station (WRWR-FM, with a sister station WAWR-FM in Bowling Green named in her honor) and first cable television system (Cablevision Corporation of Ohio). She previously co-published the Ottawa County Exponent for many years. As a gracious and giving matri-arch, Annette will be greatly missed by her loving family and friends.

Survivors include one son — Bob (Barbara) Reider Jr.; two granddaughters — Jennifer Classetti and Melissa Reider; five great-grandchildren — Morgan Classetti, Jil-lian Classetti, Anthony Classetti, Addison Classetti and Ava Beard, all of Cape Coral, Fla.; one sister — Mary Ann Barrington of Fremont; one sister-in-law — Mary Ellen Wendt, of Deshler; nieces — Susan Barrington, Christine Kelly, Julie Lieby, all of Fremont, Priscilla Lockwood, of Tofino, British Columbia, and Marsha Wendt, of Find-lay; four nephews — John Barrington, of Athens, Ohio, Douglas Kramer, of Marietta, Ga., Paul Robert Lockwood, of Oak Harbor, and DeWayne Wendt, of Findlay; her late husband’s living local cousins — Pauline Gulau and Carl (Alice) Hemminger, all of Oak Harbor; and her longtime caregivers — Alma Gonya and Linda Nichols, of Port Clinton. Annette was preceded in death by her husband Bob; her sister Helen Kramer, of Norwalk; her brother Carl Wendt, of Deshler; her nephew Ronald Kramer, of Norwalk; her sister-in-law Jean Lockwood; and her broth-ers-in-law Jack Barrington, Marshall Kramer and Paul Richard Lockwood.

Visitation will be 4 to 8 p.m. Friday, Aug. 21, at the Gern-er-Wolf-Walker Funeral Home & Crematory, Port Clin-ton. Funeral services will be conducted by the Rev. James Lehman at 11 a.m., Saturday, Aug. 22, at St. John Lutheran Church, Port Clinton, where there will be visitation one hour prior to the service. Interment will be at Catawba Is-land Cemetery.

Memorial contributions in memory of Annette may be given to St. John Lutheran Church, Port Clinton, the Put-in-Bay Public Library/Put-in-Bay School Library, or a charity of the donor’s choice. Online condolences may be shared with the family at www.walkerfuneralhomes.com.

Redskins ready to take the field

High School Football

By J. Patrick EakEn

Coach Toby Hammond will be bringing his Redskins into the fire called the Sandusky Bay Conference — where in the schools like Huron, Clyde, Edison, Perkins and Oak Harbor have demonstrated an ability to compete state-wide.

Last year, the Redskins were 1-9 overall, but winless in their seven SBC contests. In six seasons at the helm against powerful SBC competition, Hammond’s PC teams have been a combined 9-41.

This year, Hammond admits the team’s biggest weakness is “lack of numbers” and “quality back-ups,” but he expects this team “to be as competitive as we can be.”

This year, PC returns offensive starters in senior wide receiver Allen Tigner, senior running back Richard Har-

ris, senior offensive lineman Tyler Shoemaker and junior quarterback Derek Colston. Tigner was Second Team All-SBC as a wide receiver last year.

On defense, returnees include Tigner and Harris at de-fensive back, and juniors Eric Reynolds and Steven Pastor at linebacker.

The Redskins were not picked to finish last again by SBC coaches, but Hammond would like to see his team do even better than seventh. This season, Clyde was picked to win the SBC, followed by Perkins, Edison, Huron, Margaretta, Oak Harbor, PC and Sandusky St. Mary Central Catholic.

Port Clinton opens non-league play this Friday night at Woodmore. The Redskins host two more Suburban Lakes

League schools — Gibson-burg on Sept. 4 and Genoa on Sept. 11 — before begin-ning SBC action.

In league play, Port Clin-ton travels to Clyde (Sept. 18); hosts Edison (Sept. 25); hosts Ottawa County rival Oak Harbor (Oct. 2); visits Margaretta (Oct. 9); hosts St. Mary (Oct. 16); visits Perkins (Oct. 23), and then closes by traveling to Huron on Oct. 30.

By J. Patrick EakEn

Danbury football is under new leadership, and it’s from an old traditional source.

Cleveland native Tim Heffernan, a graduate of state powerhouse St. Ignatius, has taken over the Laker program with hopes of building it back up to its former glory.

Heffernan is a Bowling Green State University graduate who has makes his home in Marblehead now. But he’s not really someone new to this com-munity.

“I love it. It’s great,” Heffernan said. “The school is wonderful. It’s a great community. The football team needs a little work. It’s a numbers game.”

His family has had a boat in the area for 30 years, so he says he “kind of grew up in the area during the summer months and thought it would be a great place to live and work.”

Heffernan is a former assistant coach at Cleve-land Villa Angela-St. Joseph and taught in Cleve-land City Schools and also coached in Cleveland’s historic Senate conference at Division I Lincoln West. He said Cleveland Glenville’s dominance in the Senate and in Ohio has made it tougher for other city schools to do well.

Heffernan fills in for Coach Gene Paluso, who virtually came out of coaching retirement to take over the Laker program in 2008 because the hired coach ran into some family issues. It was Palu-so’s fifth decade in coaching, but one year wasn’t enough for the legendary coach to begin rebuild-ing the program. That job will fall on Heffernan’s shoulders now.

Last year, Danbury finished the season winless at 0-10 and in last place in the Toledo Area Athletic Conference (0-6). This year, Heffernan’s Lakers have seven seniors and eight returning lettermen and starters.

“I would say our biggest strength is our run game and our work ethic,” Heffernan said. “We have a core group of guys in Mike Hirsh, Rodney John-

son, Nathin Hartman, Hunter Stevens and Dakota Hruby who provide daily leadership.

“Our biggest weakness is our youth and an in-credibly poor self image. My overall expectation is for every young man who wears the royal blue of Danbury to do something every day to make the team better,” Heffernan continued.

“In terms of the TAAC, Northwood is a great program and Mr. (Ken) James does a great job up there. He does a fabulous job with football. I see them at the top of the TAAC pile this year. I see us competing with most of the smaller schools in the league. Obviously we are not quite on a par with Northwood.

“Hilltop has a pretty decent team this year, from what I understand,” Heffernan said, adding that Toledo Christian shows improvement almost ev-ery year.

Danbury’s season opens this Friday when Upper Scioto Valley out of the Northwest Central Confer-ence arrives in town from McGuffey. On Sept. 4, Danbury hosts North Baltimore out of the Mid-land Athletic Conference. On Saturday, Sept. 12, Danbury travels to Fostoria to take on St. Wende-lin, another NCC team.

League play begins for the Lakers on Sept. 18 when Hilltop arrives in Danbury. On Sept. 25, Danbury travels to Northwood High School to take on the Cardinal Stritch Cardinals in their sec-ond TAAC contest. On Oct. 2, Danbury travels to western Ohio to face Edon. On Oct. 9, the Coach James and the Northwood Rangers arrive in Dan-bury. The Lakers travel to Central Catholic’s Galla-gher Stadium to face Toledo Christian on Oct. 16, and then Ottawa Hills comes to Danbury on Oct. 23. In a season-ending, non-league contest on Oct. 30, Danbury travels to Northwest Ohio Athletic Conference country to face the Swanton Bulldogs.

By J. Patrick EakEn

Coach Mike May has the daunting task of getting the Rockets back on track two years after coach Gary Quisno, who is now at Sandusky Perkins, led the program to a 224-83 record in 29 years. Last year, in May’s first season, the Rockets were 2-8 overall, 2-5 in the Sandusky Bay Confer-ence.

May, a Vanlue native, is confident he can achieve that task, having brought with him experience as an assistant at St. Mary’s Memorial in the mighty 10-team Western Buckeye League — one of North-west Ohio’s most historic and competitive leagues for bigger schools.

May spent eight years as the defensive coordinator at St. Mary’s Memorial, and before that he spent three years as an as-sistant coach at Elmwood. He was also an assistant coach at Ohio Northern for one year.

St. Mary’s used the powerful wing-T of-fense, considered by many coaches to be ideal for high school football, and May is continuing to use that formation at Oak Harbor. It is also the same forma-tion Quisno used at Oak Harbor and uses now at Perkins, so there really is very little changing of the guard the past two years in the Rocket camp.

“I played in this offense in college at De-fiance, and the two schools I coached at previously were both wing-T schools,” May said. “I’ve just always followed the wing-T offense and studied it. It’s one of the best offenses you can run in high school.”

Returning starters on offense for the Oak Harbor Rockets are junior quarterback Steve Young (6-3, 180), senior running back Matt Klippstein (5-9, 180), junior running back Jake Scott (5-9, 175), senior wide receiver Brad Perry (5-10, 165), se-nior offensive linemen Steve Lindsay (6-2, 255), Zach Sandwisch (6-2, 285), and Mike Mallernee (5-10, 195), and junior offen-sive lineman Jake Grzymkowski (6-2, 210).

Last year, Young got plenty of experi-ence at quarterback — completing 25 of 57 passes (43.9 percent) for 202 yards and

one touchdown. The 6-2, 285 pound Sand-wisch returns to the O-line after earning all-league honors a season ago.

Returning starters on Oak Harbor’s tra-ditional 4-3 defense are senior defensive back Nick Priesman (5-8, 150), junior linebacker Scott (5-9, 175), senior defen-sive back Davey Burkett (5-11, 155), senior defensive linemen Lindsay and Sandwisch, senior linebacker Mallernee, and junior defensive lineman Grzymkowski.

Mallernee returns after getting 57 tackles a season ago, including 10 for a loss, and brings with him all-league accolades from 2008.

It is the experience that returns, includ-ing “senior leadership and overall attitude” that Mike May says will make a difference between this year’s club and last year’s. May says he recognizes that the Rockets still “need to create depth at most posi-tions,” meaning any kind of injury could be disastrous for the season’s long haul.

May says he believes the Rockets must “play hard for 48 minutes and the wins will come.” Oak Harbor was picked by coaches and media to finish sixth in the SBC, but May says “Clyde would be my pick (to win the league) until someone knocks them off.”

“One of our goals by our captains is to be 1-0 every week,” May said. “We focus on that. We don’t look ahead or look be-hind. We want to be 1-0 and improve every week — just try to be prepared and ready for Friday night the best we can.”

For the second straight season, Oak Harbor opens against non-league rival Springfield of the Northern Lakes League, only this season the Rockets are traveling to Blue Devil country. Then the Rockets have their annual Celestial Bowl match-up hosting Ottawa County and Ohio 163 rival Genoa and then another key non-league match-up at Eastwood.

“We need senior leadership and we’re going to need a number of juniors to be ready to step up and play,” May said. “We need to improve every day and take a step forward every day.”

COLUMBUS — Ohio hunters will again enjoy a 60-day duck hunting season and a six-duck bag limit this year. The 2009-2010 waterfowl hunting season dates have been ap-proved by the Ohio Wildlife Council and are the most lib-eral regulations allowed by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, Division of Wildlife.

The waterfowl seasons will open Oct. 17 in both Ohio’s north and south zones. Hunters 15 and younger have the opportunity to enjoy a special statewide season Oct. 3-4.

The duck hunting season in the North Zone is Oct. 17-Dec. 6, followed by a late portion that opens Dec. 26-Jan. 3. In the South Zone, duck season is open Oct. 17-Nov. 1, followed by a late portion that opens Dec. 12-Jan. 24.

The daily bag limit for ducks is six, which may not include more than four mallards (no more than one female), three wood ducks, one black duck, two redheads, two scaup, one canvasback, one pintail and one mottled duck. Ohio duck hunters will note that canvasback populations have recov-ered well enough to allow for limited harvest opportunity this year. Likewise, scaup populations have improved from 2008 and the bag limit of two applies for the entire season, unlike the regulations in place last year.

The daily bag limit for mergansers is five — only two of which may be hooded. The daily bag limit for coots is 15. Possession limits after the first day are twice the daily limit.

Ohio hunters will enjoy a slightly longer goose season this year. In the Lake Erie Canada Goose Zone, the goose sea-son is Oct. 17-Nov. 29 followed by a second segment that opens Dec. 7-Jan. 3. The goose season for the remainder of the North Zone is Oct. 17-Nov. 29, with a second segment Dec. 19-Jan. 17. In the South Zone, goose season is Oct. 17-Nov. 8 followed by a second segment Dec. 12-Jan. 31.

The daily bag limit for Canada geese is two. Light geese (snows, blues, Ross’) have a daily limit of 10, and white-fronted geese and brant have a daily limit of one. The pos-session limit for brant and geese is twice the daily bag limit after the first day.

The 2009-2010 hunting licenses and wetland stamps are on sale now and remain valid through Feb. 28.

Copies of this season’s waterfowl hunting regulations, which include maps of the zones (Pub-lication 295, Waterfowl Hunting Seasons), will be available online at wildohio.com or by late September to hunters at all license vendors.

OPEN HOUSE

Business

The Port Clinton Elks Lodge 1718 has named Gina Marie Nowak its new club manager. Nowak is a recent graduate of the Northwest Culinary Institute which is accredited by The Ohio Restaurant Association. Nowak was previously

employed by Gladieux Enterprises, Tamaron Country Club and Pro-Medica in her hometown of Toledo. Nowak was also employed at the Erie Street Market in Toledo. There she served as office manager, events coordinator and also the interim manager. Gina is very familiar with working for and with not-for-profit organizations and was involved with many fundraisers in the community.

A new lunch menu will be implemented beginning in September.

According to Nowak, “Lunch at the Lodge” will have something for everyone, set in a casual atmosphere. Eve-ning dining will be a bit more elegant and a new menu is scheduled to debut in October. The venue will be trans-formed into a “made from scratch” dining experience.

The banquet hall will also feature a new menu and pro-fessional services.

“I have experience in most every possible restaurant po-sition imaginable from waitress, busser and bartender to sous chef and manager. The facilities here at the lodge are phenomenal and the possibilities are endless. I am very comfortable and confident in my new role at the Elks Lodge.”

MARBLEHEAD — The sluggish economy has been challenging for the marine industry. In response to the challenging times, Skipper Bud’s opened the first Midwest Marine Repo Center in Oshkosh, Wis., on Lake Butte des Morts. Based on the overwhelming success of the Oshkosh location, Skipper Bud’s is opening its second Midwest Marine Repo Center in the Ohio market. The Marblehead dealership on East Harbor will now serve as a liquidation site for larger repo product from all over the coun-try, especially the East coast. The times are right for consumers who have a budget for a boat to get a great buy on one of the many luxury models avail-able today.

The first Midwest Marine Repo Cen-ter started by purchasing 150 units from a dealer bankruptcy. This loca-tion quickly proved that there was a

high demand for boats at specific price points, only 15 units remain from the original purchase. As the excitement around the Midwest Marine Repo Center grew, floorplan companies be-came interested and recognized they could liquidate inventory within a discounted price structure. The Mid-west Marine Repo Center in Ohio has a large product mix and has created another visible, marketable and acces-sible venue for all types of boats from 16’ to 60’ all makes and models. The new location serves as a more con-venient distribution center for larger product coming from the immediate market and from dealers on the East coast. The Wisconsin location has doubled its sales year over year and the new Ohio Center is positioned to do the same. Consumers are not the only group taking advantage of this low-priced inventory, many dealers have

been able to purchase inventory at sig-nificantly reduced rates directly from the Midwest Marine Repo Center.

Consumers today are shopping for deals on everything, not just boats and they are finding boats at the Midwest Marine Repo Center that are priced to sell quickly. Boats and yachts offered at the Midwest Marine Repo Centers can save consumers thousands of dol-lars and offer enjoyment for all levels of the boating lifestyle. This product is centralized at the two Repo Center locations in Ohio and Wisconsin, but is available for sale at all Skipper Bud’s facilities.

Consumers can contact the new Ohio location at 419-732-2587 or e-mail repoboats@skipperbuds.com. For lender or dealer inquiries, contact Todd Riepe, triepe@skipperbuds.com. Visit MidwestMarineRepoCenter.com to learn more.
