BY JASMINE CUPP The City of Port Clinton’s finances and state of being have been a hot topic for some time among residents, part-time residents and frequent visitors to the area. The condition of City streets and infrastructure are a concern for residents and visitors. With a decreasing population and just un- der half of Port Clinton’s population being retired and not contributing to income tax revenue, the City is receiving less and less to keep up with day to day operations. Being the county seat, it is said that the economy in Port Clinton has a direct ef- fect on the rest of the county. City of Port Clinton Auditor Cole Hatfield and Port Clinton City Council Finance Commiee Chair Mike Snider explain how the City gets its revenue, how the budget is created and just how much money the City really has. HOW MUCH MONEY DOES PORT CLINTON REALLY HAVE? “The City budget is established by historical record. Out of the $12 million plus budget, $9 million of it is set in stone. That only leaves $3-4 million for day to day operations in the general fund. For the general budget there are 17 categories that the funds go; police depart- ment, street department, mayor, etc. In 2014, the gen- eral fund was $3.5 million and of that $3.5 million all but 6.48% was allocated towards specific things; equipment, contracted services, wages, etc.” said Snider. “So, when we look at the budget, yes, its $12-13 million, but we are only able to control a small portion of that because it’s allocated to specific tasks and functions. When the administration brings a budget proposal to the financial commiee they look at the 6.48% and de- cide where that goes,” said Snider. The things that comprise as discretionary are the fire- works fund, incidentals (such as if a window in the Se- nior Center breaks), recreation programs (such as open gym at the high school), sponsorships (such as if a fish- ing tournament comes to town) and this year park im- provements; the addition of restrooms at Portage Park. All these things need to be done, but they are not part of the day to day operations. “It would be nice to have heated arguments in the finance commiee meetings, but there is not much to argue about because there is not much to allocate,” said Snider. WHERE DOES THE MONEY COME FROM? In the allocation of expenditures, the City auditor looks at the revenue. City revenue is made up of three things: real estate tax, bed and dock tax and (what rev- enue is mostly made of) income tax. From 2009 to 2014 revenue expectations have gone down $600,000. “The only way to tell if the calculations are correct is if at the end of the year when the actual money comes in. We can only project,” said Hatfield. “The projections and revenue have gone down. Right now we are looking at a 6% decrease from last year.” “Everyone thought we’d see a boost in the spring due to the Davis Besse maintenance. In reality, we haven’t seen the numbers go above last year. What that is telling us is that if it weren’t for Davis Besse we would be even lower than last year; Davis Besse actu- ally helped us maintain,” said Hatfield. “The fire department is not in the general fund, it is funded by levies. Port Clinton Fire Chief Kent Johnson has been great at using funds to update equipment and to take action to improve the longevity of the pump- ers and trucks at the sta- tion,” said Snider. “He is only able to do that because he knows he has a source of revenue to count on. No other department in the City can plan for that type of long term viability because the revenue streams aren’t there. For example, even though the po- lice department has goen some new vehicles, the other vehicles that need replaced need maintenance and that drags down the budget.” HOW IS THIS AFFECTING THE CITY? “The streets and infrastructure is a big issue. One mile today costs $1 million to update; that includes new streets, curbs, sewers and waterlines. It’s about $50,000 per block (which is roughly 1/10 of a mile) to grind and pave the street. It is suggested that streets be repaved every 20 years and to keep up with that the City should be paving 1 ½ miles every year. This year only 100s of yards were done,” said Snider. “Now, unfortunately, we have to rely on grants to ac- complish these repairs and those are very competitive,” said Hatfield. “To do basic “keep the lights on” services, we need more revenue. We are already at bare bones, making more cuts would have serious implications on the City,” said Hatfield. If property taxes are going down, real estate tax goes down and if people are not working who live inside the City limits then the income tax revenue goes down. We are already experiencing a “perfect storm” of revenue streams going down,” said Hatfield. “We have been blessed in the past to have carryover, but that is lessening because of ongoing projects; car- ryover can only last so long,” said Snider. “We are trying to even out expenditures with revenue. The margins are geing smaller and smaller.” We are doing the best with what we have, but we need additional revenue. Looking long term, we need to do something. We are looking to maintain, at this point we cannot expand. We are not near bankruptcy by any means, but we need to do something,” said Hatfield. HOW CAN THE RESIDENTS HELP? Councilman Snider explained that anyone spending money inside the City will help with revenue. “Even something as easy as going out to eat one time a week in the City is helpful,” said Snider. “It sounds simple, but all the small things really add up.” “Council is looking to make Port Clinton more busi- ness friendly, but government cannot solve all the prob- lems.” Dire straits BY JASMINE CUPP The Lake Erie Warbirds hosted a WWII TBM Avenger gathering and final reunion at the Liberty Aviation Museum on Saturday, September 27.

Starving ArtistIt seems that every time I step on the

scale I am reminded that I m not a starv-ing artist. It was an honor to accept the award for “Best of the Best Artist” in Ot-tawa County. For this I am grateful, and wish to thank everyone for that privilege. Receiving that award caused me to reflect back 35 years ago when I opened my stu-dio. It has not been an easy climb. Early on, I rented a space in an old warehouse in Cleveland to be close to my mentor who was in his 80’s. Not having much money, I had to live in my studio where I put up two walls with a door in the corner that became my bedroom. I did not have a shower or a kitchen. When I lay down at night, I could hear the rats scrounging around my studio. I also had a gun held on me and thought I was going to die. But hey, that’s another story.

Being an artist is not as glamorous as most people think. Consider the facts; the average wage for an artist is $44,000. There is no pension, health benefits, paid vacation, sick days, retirement package, or weekly pay check. As a result, almost all the artists I know have to work an-other job. A typical artist buys materials, spends time creating their art, then hopes and prays that someone will come along

to buy it, never knowing when they will get paid. When they do, it’s usually at a discounted offer. Sadly, some of their art-work never sells. Because of this, every artist I know struggles and never reach-es their creative potential. I state all these facts just to make people aware it is very common to see an artist close their gallery and leave our community because they couldn’t make ends meet. I want to encourage everyone to consider your lo-cal artist the next time you need a gift or want to enhance your home. Try not to run to any store and buy something made in China that will not last. A nice gift of art can enhance a person’s life every day. When you support any of our local art-ists a couple things will happen; you will make the artist’s day, they will be able to pay their bills, and it will encourage their creativity as they buy materials and create more fabulous art. And you will be sup-porting American jobs. After all, our prod-ucts are made in the U.S.A!

VotingOur efficient Ohio Secretary of State Jon

Justen has told us that in Ohio it is easy to vote and hard to cheat; vote from home, vote early or vote on election day. Just call the Ottawa County Board of Elections at 419-898-3071 for instruction.

Now we have no excuse for not voting and, consequently, the election of profes-sional politicians, double dippers or fam-ily members without qualifications. Let’s keep it honest, let’s stop listening to shal-low politics from desperate people.

Wake up, folks! Let’s think for ourselves! Let’s show that we do care!

Thank you for the water rescueOn Friday September 19th I was taking

our family boat to Bass Haven Marina in Marblehead. On the way my engine over-heated and died. Two fisherman from So-lon, OH, who were in town for a bass tour-nament, rescued me and eased my level of panic and towed me to Bass Haven.

Neither of these gentleman would take any money or give me their names. Brian from Bass Haven assisted these rescuers and ensured I got into the hoist safely. For all of these people who helped me, I send a big heartfelt thank you for your kindness and assistance.

BY JASMINE CUPPRick Noderer of Citizens Organized for Responsible Develop-

ment (CORD), under the Ohio Sunshine Law, did a public re-cord’s request through City Hall requesting copies of leases from the City leasing property. Noderer requested leases from 2009 to 2014 and only received two documents back from the City.

“From my request I received two leases through the City: one was regarding the Senior Center and the other was Sassy Sal Charters,” said Noderer. “This tells me that the City does not con-sider park reservation contracts or event applications as leases.”

Port Clinton Mayor Vince Leone was quoted in The Beacon at a Friends for Port Clinton meeting question-ing if CORD’s ballot initiative about parks (Issue 6) would halt any activity on any park land. “There is no exchange of funds, but it constitutes as a lease because the space is reserved on park land by the City,” said Mayor Leone.

CORD hopes that after this finding, Mayor Leone will retract recent statements being reported by the press and repeated on social media sites because he is attempting to confuse voters.

“This appears to be a misinformation campaign by the opposition resulting in the manufactured appearance of

a community in confusion. We have encountered hundreds of voters who are eager to have a voice and vote on the sale or lease of our parks. A public retraction would be in order along with his assurance that passage of the ordinance would not affect the citizens’ use of the parks,” said Noderer.

CORD is a Political Action Committee formed to promote re-sponsible development in Port Clinton through and by ballot ini-tiatives and City legislation. For more information about CORD visit savewaterworkspark.org.

Are the Mayor’s statements meant to confuse?

Ottawa County Auditor Lawrence Hartlaub is hosting three pub-lic Town Hall meetings across the county in October. Hartlaub is pro-viding this opportunity for Ottawa County residents to learn more about their property tax bills, available tax credits and the property valuation process. In addition, he will explain where residents’ tax money goes and different ways Ottawa County com-munities utilize levies.

Ottawa County residents are welcome at any of the

three meetings without prior registration; however, seat-ing is limited. Each Town Hall Meeting will begin at 5:30 p.m. and likely conclude around 6:30 p.m. with a question and answer period. The schedule is as follows:

Wednesday, October 8 at Ida Rupp Public Library Room A in Port Clinton

Thursday, October 9 at the Oak Harbor Public LibraryTuesday, October 14 at the Genoa Public Library“Property taxes can be difficult to understand, espe-

cially when our state’s tax department makes annual changes,” said Hartlaub. “My goal with this presentation is to demystify the property tax system and create more trust between the citizens and the government through

knowledge of our tax system.”Auditor Hartlaub has already presented at several lo-

cal subdivisions’ monthly meetings this year includ-ing Danbury Schools, Port Clinton Schools, City of Port Clinton, Village of Marblehead, Bay Township, Carroll Township, Clay Township, Danbury Township, Harris Township, Portage Township, Put-in-Bay Township and Salem Township. Additional subdivision presentations are scheduled in the near future.

For questions about the meetings or the Ottawa Coun-ty Auditor’s office, visit www.ottawacountyauditor.org, email [email protected] or call 419-734-6740.

BY JASMINE CUPPOn Sunday, September 28, Ottawa National Wildlife

Refuge hosted its 7th annual Cars for Critters benefit car show. Over 220 cars were involved in the event. Drivers picked from a variety of critter themed classes to show off their vehicles including: best bird, mammal, fish, insect, reptile, street rod, antique, and fledging classic.

BY JASMINE CUPPAt their quarterly meeting held on Thursday, September

25, at Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge in Oak Harbor, the Ohio Lake Erie Commission announced the winners of their Life on Lake Erie photo contest and presented the Ohio Lake Erie awards.

The Life on Lake Erie photo contest encouraged pho-tographers to submit photos that depict life in and around Lake Erie. This year there was also a special category ask-ing for winter scenes and icescapes to highlight the harsh winter in the area. Photographs were to be taken between August 1, 2013 and July 31, 2014. The winning photo-graphs in the contest are going to be used by Ohio Lake Erie Commission to promote various events to promote Lake Erie.

“The photo contest provides photographers a chance to show what life is like for them and how they experience the lake. Many photos captured special moments and the serenity that the lake can provide,” said Ohio Lake Erie Commission executive director Gail Hesse. “We want to honor these moments by sharing these moments.”

At the meeting there were six out of the eleven winners present:

Patricia Healy of Toledo with a photo of a warbler, Tom Green of Vandalia with a photo of the Brig Niagara, Stephanie Weeks of Port Clinton with a photo of a car-dinal, Chad Whaley of Sandusky with an icescape of the lake, Valerie Giavanucci of Toledo with a marsh land-scape and Kim Yanke of Huron with a portrait of a young girl playing on the beach.

family of Carl Driftmyer, 86, of Portage Township surprised him with a very special honor at the Lib-erty Air Museum. Army Private Driftmyer, a veter-an of the Korean War who served 10 months driving tanks on the front lines, was presented with a Quilt of Valor by Kathy Pettry of North Ridgeville.

He was totally surprised by his special honor, not-ing that since he returned home in the early 1950s, “I never got thanks for anything!” Driftmyer was wounded in action, receiv-ing the Purple Heart, along with a number of other medals from his time in the military.

Over 10,000 handmade Quilts of Valor have been presented to worthy veter-ans over the years. Kathy Pettry and her husband Tim have presented over 30 of them this year alone.

The Nature Conservancy’s Great Egret Marsh celebrated its Grand Opening on a perfect fall day in September. The event was hosted by TNC staff members. A crowd of supporters, including birders, canoers and kayakers, hikers, nature lov-ers, and government dignitaries gathered under a white tent facing a gorgeous vis-ta of open water for a welcome by Josh Knights, TNC Ohio Executive Director. Marian Gabel, Chairman of TNC’s Ohio Board of Trustees, described the mission and scope of the Conservancy and where Great Egret Marsh fits into the plan.

U.S. Representative Marcy Kaptur spoke of the value of preserving and restoring this wetland which will help contribute toward a healthier Lake Erie. She empha-sized that the Western Lake Erie Basin

is the most productive area in the Great Lakes and is economically important to Ohio. A flyover of migrating Canada geese added emphasis to her remarks.

State Senator Randy Gardner gave a rundown of the state’s efforts to deal with the microcystis blooms in the lake, start-ing with phosphorus loading from farm runoff. The water crisis in Toledo in Au-gust was a wakeup call to action. The state government is serious about doing what-ever is necessary to bring our lake back to health. The geese seconded his words with another flyover.

Tara Baranowski, Lake Erie Coasts & Is-lands Project Manager, explained plans to restore the Great Egret Marsh wetland to its original condition beginning this fall with moves to eradicate stands of the in-vasive plant phragmites, a tall marsh weed

which grows abundantly in wetlands. Next spring planting of native trees and shrubs will continue the restoration process.

Congressman Kaptur and Senator Gardner shared the ribbon-cutting honor to officially open the in-terior of the 155-acre pre-serve to the public. Staff people led hikes on the 1.2 mile trail with its two over-looks, while canoers and kayakers explored the wa-ters off the shore.

The Nature Conser-vancy purchased land for the Great Egret Marsh in 2013 with a grant from the Clean Ohio Conservation Fund. The marsh protects coastal wetlands that re-duce the amount of pollut-ants entering Lake Erie. It provides important habitat for fish, birds, and other aquatic life. During the spring and fall Lake Erie is one of the most important stopover sites in North America for bird migra-tion.

Great Egret Marsh is lo-cated on Buck Road across from East Harbor State Park. For parking take Route 269 north to Buck Road 139a. Turn left at the ice cream stand. The en-trance is 500 feet on the right. The marsh is open from sunrise to sunset dai-ly year round. For more in-formation visit nature.org/greategretmarsh.

This is the 19th year this program has been provid-ing coats to the local resi-dents. Collection areas for new coats are the News Herald, Executive Clean-ers, Howard Hanna and The Salvation Army.

Executive Cleaners is of-fering a 10% off cleaning coupon to every person who brings in a coat for this program. They are pro-viding cleaning of all coats, at no cost, and offered to be a satellite collection and

PC jumps on top of Margaretta, wins 44-20BY YANEEK SMITH

After losing its first game of the season last week to Oak Harbor, Port Clinton wanted to get back on the right track.

The Redskins wasted no time in answering the call, scoring on their first five possessions before defeat-ing Margaretta, 44-20, in Sandusky Bay Conference ac-tion Friday night at True-Lay Stadium.

Port Clinton, which improved to 4-1 and 1-1 in the SBC, scored its first touchdown as a result of the de-fense. Keegan Lowe intercepted a Dylan Bailey pass and returned it 42 yards to the 2-yard-line, setting up his brother, Emerson, who ran it in from two yards out to put the ‘Skins ahead for good, 6-0. Nathan Stubblefield, who connected on five extra points and a 43-yard field goal, pushed the lead to 7-0.

Port Clinton’s second touchdown was also set up by the defense when it stopped the Polar Bears (3-2, 0-2 SBC) on fourth-and-1 at the 34. Two plays later, a 66-yard run by quarterback Brandon Moore, who finished with 11 carries for 107 yards and three scores, put the ‘Skins up 13-0.

Margaretta answered, driving 79 yards in eight plays, scoring on a 4-yard run by Ryan Green to cut the deficit to six points, but the Bears would get no closer.

Port Clinton outscored Margaretta, 17-14, in the sec-ond quarter to take a 30-20 lead into the half and pushed the advantage to 17 points when Moore scored on an 18-yard run in the third quarter.

Port Clinton head coach Beau Carmon talked about how important it was for his team to rebound after los-ing to Oak Harbor last week.

“It was big,” he said. “You’re talking about kids that had an emotional loss the week before. These are teenagers that have worked very, very hard, and the setback against Oak Harbor was emotionally and physically draining. The week leading up (to this game) was key. We had a fantas-tic week of practice. We tried to put Oak Harbor in the rear-view mirror, and we played a better game against

Margaretta, I think they’re a solid football team, and they’ve got some nice players.

The key to the victory was the performance of the of-fensive line, which opened holes for Moore and Emerson Lowe, who had a remarkable game, finishing with 12 car-ries for 172 yards and three touchdowns. His 91-yard run in the fourth quarter sealed the victory and accounted for the final scoring.

“They did a good job,” Carmon said of the men up front. “That was our best rushing game. Clyde had a hard time running the ball against Margaretta last week, and we were able to create some holes for our running backs. We used the read option to keep them off balance and we mixed in the pass. You’ve got to run the ball in high-school football.”

“The two previous games, we wanted Brandon to get comfortable and establish the run first, and we were able to do that. We’re averaging about 12-14 passes each game, and he’s throwing about 125-150 yards per game. There are big plays when we do throw it, but that’s not our game plan. You want to run the ball first, and go with the pass off that. That starts with the offensive line, and they controlled the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball.”

At this point, Carmon is just trying to make sure his kids stay focused and continue to work hard. This group, which has gone 1-19 over the last two seasons, is not used to being in this position, one that finds them in fourth place in the Division IV, Region 12 Standings with 7.00 points.

“We just want the kids to finish everything,” Carmon said. “Finish practice strong, our lifts strong, our indi-vidual drills strong. That’s something we’ve really, re-ally worked on — finishing things. You simulate things in practice and drills, whether it’s blocking for the offensive line or gang tackling.”

This Saturday, the ‘Skins travel to Conneaut to play the Conneaut Spartans. Conneaut is 4-1 and is currently ranked 11th in the Div. IV, Region 11 Standings.

Oak Harbor falls to Edison late, 14-7BY YANEEK SMITH

In a defensive struggle, one or two plays can make or break a game.

With the game tied at 7 late in the fourth quarter, two runs that netted 77 yards set Edison up for the winning score, a three-yard run by Owen Moyer with 2:15 remain-ing that gave the Chargers a 14-7 victory over Oak Harbor last week.

The first big run, a 50-yarder by Moyer, was followed by a 27-yard dash by quarterback Keegan Hall that gave Edison a first-and-goal at the 3-yard-line.

In a back-and-forth game that saw points come at a premium, the Chargers took the lead just before halftime when Hall scored on a 25-yard run with 2:39 to play in the second quarter. Hall was held in check for the most part by the Rocket defense, completing 6-of-17 passes for 42 yards and rushing 13 times for 54 yards and a score. Moyer finished with five carries for 57 yards and a touch-down and had two catches for six yards.

Dan Stoll had nine carries for 48 yards to help pace Edi-son (3-2, 1-1 SBC), which switched from a triple-option

offense to the spread formation during the offseason. Clay Goodwin led the team in receiving, catching three passes for 32 yards.

Oak Harbor, which fell to 1-4 and 1-1 in the Sandusky Bay Conference with the loss, tied the score at 7 when Andre Ramsey connected with Jourdan Maguire on a five-yard pass with3:20 remaining in the third quarter. Ramsey completed 7-of-17 passes for 66 yards and a touchdown and Maguire finished with three receptions for 32 yards and a score. Running back Andrew Heberling led the Rockets with 21 carries for 59 yards.

The Rockets had a fake punt that was run in for a touch-down, only to see it called back because of a penalty, something that came back to haunt them.

Oak Harbor will look to get back on track when it hosts Huron (4-1, 2-0 SBC). The Tigers surprised people when they defeated Perkins, 45-13, last week.

Huron, which is currently ranked eighth in the Division V, Region 16 Standings with 8.60 points, employs a spread offense and has scored 99 points in its last two games.

Gibsonburg pulls away from DanburyBY YANEEK SMITH

Sometimes, the final score is very deceiving.That was certainly the case in Danbury’s 58-24 loss to Gibsonburg on Friday night at

Biro Field.In its matchup with the top team in the Toledo Area Athletic Conference, the Lakers

fought tooth and nail to hang with the Golden Bears before Gibsonburg pulled away, pushing its 35-24 lead, which it held early in the fourth quarter, to 58-24 by scoring 23 unanswered points in the game’s final nine minutes.

After the Danbury defense forced the Bears to turn the ball over on downs at the Laker 9-yard-line, quarterback Seth Vargo was tackled in the end zone for a safety, pushing Gibsonburg’s lead to 37-24 and giving them the ball back. From there, the Bears took over, scoring three touchdowns in the next six minutes to put the game away.

Following Danbury’s free kick from the 20-yard line, which gave Gibsonburg the ball at the Laker 44, Bears quarterback scored on a touchdown run from 44 yards out to make it a 44-24 game, and a turnover gave them the ball back, setting up Tille’s 25-yard touch-down pass to Derek Angelone. And the last score came on a 14-yard run by Troy Ickes.

But save for the game’s final nine minutes, it was a pretty close, hard-fought thriller.A back-and-forth contest saw the first score come on a one-yard touchdown pass from

Tille to Tyler Hovis, giving Gibsonburg a 7-0 lead. Tille connected with Erik Jahna from 51 yards out before Danbury got on the board with Justin Tibbels’ 51-yard punt return for a touchdown early in the second quarter, a score that cut the deficit to 14-7. Tibbels’ run saw him elude two defenders before racing to the right side and outrunning the defend-ers to the end zone.

Tille hit Griffin Geary deep over the middle for a 64-yard score to push the lead to 21-7. On the play, Tille perfectly lofted the ball over the Laker defender before Geary broke two tackles. The Lakers answered again, scoring on a seven-yard pass from Vargo to Sam Tyson, making it 21-14, a score that would hold up until halftime. On the touchdown, Vargo ran left before throwing back across the field to Tyson, who leapt and grabbed the ball while holding off a defender.

On the first possession of the third quarter, Danbury forced a Gibsonburg punt, and on the Bears’ next possession, the Lakers stopped Gibsonburg on a fake punt that gave them the ball at their own 47-yard-line. But a fumble on the very next play gave the Bears the ball back, setting them up for a drive that resulted in Tille running in a touch-down from five yards out to make it 28-14.

Danbury later drove to Gibsonburg’s 19-yard-line before getting a 36-yard field goal from James Dorko. The teams traded touchdowns, with Tibbels returning another punt for a score, this time from 39 yards out early in the fourth quarter.

Ultimately, the Lakers, who dropped to 2-3 overall and 0-2 in the TAAC, were done in by seven turnovers. When presented with opportunities, Danbury answered the call at time, but too often a fumble or an interception gave the ball back to the Bears, who pos-sess one of the most potent offenses in the area.

This week, the Lakers host Hilltop, which is currently 1-4 and 0-2 in the TAAC. Danbury defeated the Cadets, 38-35, last season. Hilltop lost to Cardinal Stritch, 27-15, last week.

Danbury’s Justin Tibbels  returns this punt 51 yards for his first of two rushing touch-downs against Gibsonburg last Friday evening.  The Lakers lost to the Golden Bears, 58-24.

BY JOHN SCHAFFNERAbove top: The members of the 1976 Port Clinton High School football team that went 9-1 with 7 shutouts and a Great Lakes League Championship were formally induct-ed into the Port Clinton High School Athletic Hall of Fame Saturday Night. With Leo Alvarado holding the GLL Cham-pionship Trophy, the team surrounds its head coach, Jim Hastings, who made the trip from Tennessee to Ohio this weekend for the special ceremonies. Hastings teams were 16-4 in his two seasons at the helm of the Redskins. Hast-ings spoke to the gathering on Saturday night and told a few stories about the team. He also admitted he may have made a mistake leaving for a College Coaching job at Morehead State in Kentucky. “No matter where I have gone in my coaching career, my heart is now and will al-ways remain with Port Clinton and these great players.” Two of the members of that team have passed on, includ-ing the starting center, Mike Ebert, who was represented by his wife Olga (pictured far left).

PCHS Athletic Hall of Fame inductees: Scott Rickel and Class of 1976 football team

Above below: Also inducted into the PCHS Athletic Hall of Fame on Saturday night was Scott Rickel, pictured here with his parents, Carla and Karl Rickel, both 1967 PCHS graduates. Scott was a three sport star athlete at Port Clin-ton High School in the early 1990s, playing football, bas-ketball and baseball. He went on to an outstanding ath-letic career at Wittenberg University in Springfield, Ohio, where he played football and tried his hand at Track and Field. He was so good, he still holds several indoor and outdoor track records at Wittenberg.bv

The earliest graduate participating was Mrs. Peg Bolte, PCHS Class of 1938, and she received a stand-ing ovation from the crowd.

The complete photo album can be found at the Port Clinton City School District website www.pccsd.net .
