We’re just one week away from
the biggest party of the year…the
Gem Beach Rock ‘n’ Roll Reunion.
It was about 20 years ago when
Bob Hille and I frst spoke about
doing an all-day Woodstock-style
rock concert out at Gem Beach to
commemorate the place where he
and I, along with thousands of
other baby boomers, misspent so
many hours of our youthful ado-
lescence.
When I served as Chairman for
United Way fve years ago, I asked
the question: “How do other re-
sort-market United Way agencies
raise funds?”
Chris Galvin told me directly,
“Events!”
“Well,” I said, “I have an idea for
a fundraising event.”
Thus the Gem Beach Rock ‘n
Roll Reunion was born, and so it
continues today…or at least on
Saturday, Sept. 8 from noon to 8
p.m. Four bands playing all those
oldies! What a party!!!

This is my annual Labor Day
weekend speech. Many think that
Labor Day is the end of the sum-
mer season around here. Well,
as Colonel Potter used to say on
M.A.S.H., “HORSE HOCKEY!”
The Lake Erie water tempera-
ture is still above 70. Because of
the lake’s infuence on our air
temperatures we can expect at
least six more weeks of beautiful
weather most years. So the fore-
cast for a beautiful Indian sum-
mer is extremely good this year.

Our Find Wylie winner
this week is Olga Ebert,
who was among the 194
contestants who found
Wylie hiding in the ad for
Camp Runinmuck on page 5B in
last week’s Beacon. Olga wins our
weekly $20 gift card from Friend-
ship Food Stores PLUS 2 tickets to
Gem Beach Rocks Again on Sept.
8. We’ll be hiding Wylie again this
week. If you fnd him, drop off
an entry form at our offce in the
Beacon Place Business Center or
click on the Find Wylie Icon at
our website, www.thebeacon.net.

With this being Labor Day
weekend, and Monday being a
legal holiday, our deadline for ads
and editorials will be this Friday,
Aug. 31 for our Sept. 6 edition. All
who need to send in material for
next week, please make sure we
get it by this Friday. Thanks.
nnn
Also, this weekend is the An-
nual Green Island Race hosted by
Port Clinton Yacht Club. The frst
starts are Sunday, Sept. 2, around
9:30 a.m. The starting line is set
up just to the north and west of
the Portage River entrance. With
any luck, we will have southerly
winds so that the colorful spin-
nakers will be fying. The overall
winner in the Performance Hand-
icap Fleet wins the Green Jacket,
emblematic of a “Masters-ful”
sailing victory.
The eighth annual Perch, Peach, Pierogi and Pol-
ka Festival will be held at the Knights of Columbus
Hall, 109 E. Perry Street, downtown Port Clinton,
on Labor Day Weekend. This year the festival will
begin on Friday, Aug. 31, at 5 p.m. The fun, food
and fantastic polka music will continue Friday eve-
ning until 11 p.m. and from 11 a.m. until 11 p.m.
Saturday, Sept. 1 and Sunday, Sept. 2.
Lake Erie yellow perch sandwiches and dinners
will be served along with pierogis and peach cob-
bler. Polish sausage sandwiches and pizza will also
be available. Soft drinks, wine coolers and ice cold
beer will be sold in the beverage tent.
Saturday at 4 p.m. Black Tie Dance Studio will
provide free polka lessons for those wishing to
improve their polka
skills. On Sunday at 5
p.m. will be the ever
popular pierogi eating
contest. Cash prizes go
to the winner.
The festival will kick
off at 5 p.m. Friday,
with all food and bev-
erages available. The
lead band will be the
Eddie Rodick Orches-
tra. This band played
at last year’s festival
and was a real crowd
pleaser. Eddie has been wowing audiences with
his unique and exciting accordion playing for over
40 years. One of last year’s festival goers made the
comment that Eddie’s accordion seems to be part
of his body and his soul. The entire band is made
up of outstanding musicians and vocalists.
Eddie has been awarded the Lifetime Achieve-
ment Award for the National Polka Hall of Fame,
and his orchestra was named the Band of the Year
in 1990, 2002, 2007 and 2008. Their album, “Polka
Sweethearts” was the winner of the 2007 record-
ing of the year. Eddie and his orchestra have played
throughout the United States, in Spain, Holland,
Canada and Mexico.
The Eddie Rodick Orchestra will perform again
from 12 noon until 4 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 1.
Also highlighting the weekend music will be the
Del Sinchak Band from Youngstown. Del will play
from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Saturday and from 12
noon until 5 p.m. on Sunday. The Del Sinchak
Band has seven successful releases on the award
winning Peppermint label. The National Cleveland
Style Polka Hall of Fame nominated four of these
albums for the Album of the Year. The National
Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences nominat-
ed Del’s album “Let the Sunshine In” for a Grammy
Award for the Best Polka Album in 1999. In 2005,
Del’s album “Polkapizzazz” was also nominated for
a Grammy. Del Sinchak is a member of the Na-
tional Cleveland Style Polka Hall of Fame and in
2009 he received a Lifetime Achievement Award.
This group has won the hearts of thousands of
polka fans with their
energetic live perfor-
mances.
The fnal band to
play at this year’s
festival will be the
Wayne Golob Or-
chestra. This band
is a new addition to
the festival and will
perform from 5:30
to 9:30 p.m. Sunday.
Wayne, an accordi-
onist from Sandusky,
has been playing
professionally since 1971. He has worked with sev-
eral bands over the years, and was the director of
the Lorain Slovenian Button Accordionists of Lo-
rain. In 1983 the ensemble recorded a best-selling
album and toured Slovenia.
The current Wayne Golob Band was formed in
2006 and has played at numerous festivals, con-
certs, and dances throughout Northern Ohio, in-
cluding annual appearances at the famous Halupki
Festival in Marblehead. As they are the area’s only
working polka band, they continue to be a local fa-
vorite.
Admission to the festival is $3.00 for adults. Any-
one under 18 is admitted free. The facility is pro-
tected from the elements and the festival will con-
tinue rain or shine.
Perch, Peach, Pierogi and
Polka Labor Day weekend
On Monday, Aug. 27, in the
Sutton Center, Port Clinton, the
International Joint Commission
(IJC) hosted a public meeting,
providing information about its
Lake Erie Ecosystem Priority and
hearing from the public about
concerns regarding nutrient pol-
lution and harmful algal blooms.
The IJC was created in1909 by
the Boundary Waters Treaty for
the purpose of helping Canada
and the U.S. protect their shared
waters. It is an independent body
of experts working to develop
consensus fndings and recom-
mendations for their govern-
ments. All IJC members are com-
mitted to serving without bias.
The IJC has direct authority to
regulate water fow in the Great
Lakes, and serves in an advisory
capacity on water quality. Since
2002 it has been a strong advocate
for action to prevent Asian carp
form entering the Great Lakes.
The meeting was attended by
concerned citizens from around
Ottawa county and by research-
ers and environmentalists from
across Ohio, Michigan and On-
tario. The Port Clinton meeting
was one of eight being held across
the region. David Dempsey, Poli-
cy Advisor to the IJC, gave a brief
presentation and led a pro-active
discussion about our lake and
its watershed and the challenges
ahead.
Much of the discussion centered
on the phosphorus overload and
the algal bloom. Though this
year’s algal bloom has not yet
reached the extent of last year’s
bloom, the conditions for an-
other extensive bloom still exist.
Dempsey pointed out that after
Lake Erie’s infamous crisis in the
70’s, the commitment of resourc-
es and effort restored the lake to a
healthy balance within a decade.
When monitoring was stopped
and regulations were relaxed,
Lake Erie again began to decline.
The IJC is committed to exam-
ining the broad range of scien-
tifc and social/economic issues
related to excess algae growth
in Lake Erie. Contributing fac-
tors include weather conditions,
water temperature, agricultural
runoff, failed wastewater man-
agement, invasive species, open-
lake dumping of dredged sedi-

Art in the park
For the 55
th
year the Port Clinton Artists’
Club presented Arts in the Park, a festival
of art and crafts at Lakeview Park. It was
a tremendous success and the Club would
like to thank the volunteers, vendors,
sponsors and patrons for their participa-
tion and patronage. Vendors had their
best sales in several years! Thousands of
people strolled through Lakeview Park on
August 4 & 5 to view and purchase from
more than 100 vendors. The Port Clinton
Artists’ Club is proud to have had a posi-
tive impact on the economy of the City of
Port Clinton and Ottawa County. We en-
courage the community to mark calendars
for August 3 & 4, 2013 for the 56
th
annual
Arts in the Park.

Library Book Sale
The Friends of the Ida Rupp Public Li-
brary’s annual Book Sale was again a
huge success this summer, but only due
to those volunteers who did all the hard
work. Therefore, MANY thanks to the 13
men, women and children who spent their
Sunday morning removing boxes of do-
nated books from the library attic, carting
them onto the sale foor, and completing
the necessary pre-work. MANY thanks to
those who unboxed the books onto the
tables Monday and Tuesday morning and
fnished in record time. MANY thanks
to everyone who worked the book sale
Thursday night, all day Friday, and Satur-
day morning, and, along with the Kiwanis
volunteers, quickly removed the remain-
ing books, once again clearing the library’s
community room for public use. Finally,
MANY thanks to Susan Smith, who has
been kind enough to help me with this
event for the past two years.
It takes a team to prepare the annual
Friends’ Book Sale and I am proud to have
had a very capable and caring one this year.
There is no way that we would have been
able to sell over 5000 items and to give the
necessary fnancial assistance to our great
Port Clinton library without such wonder-
ful volunteers. It was an honor to be the
chairwoman of this fundraiser for the past
two years.

Tell Tales from 1A
IJC from 1A
BY JOHN SCHAFFNER
Since the mid 1990s, I have personally
had meeting after meeting with the op-
erators of the food service venues at The
Island House in downtown Port Clinton. I
always pointed out that the proper opera-
tion of that facility was a “sacred trust” for
the community because the Island House
was the cornerstone of Port Clinton’s his-
toric downtown.
Unfortunately, for a variety of reasons,
my words were not followed up by posi-
tive action over the past 15 or so years. The
Island House has suffered several different
food service operators in that time frame.
The food and service was inconsistent at
best. But since the massive remodeling
taken on by former owner Jim Stouffer
in 1986, the inside of the historic build-
ing has continued to sparkle. The Island
House now takes on an all new sparkle
since Bill Van Der Giessen and Kevin Lowe
joined forces to open the new 1812 Food
and Spirits and Rosie’s Bar and Grille on
either side of the lobby.
Several years ago, the hotel was pur-
chased by the partnership of Ken McLaren
and Scott Prephan, both from the Toledo
area. They have put close to $1 million in
improvements into the building and struc-
ture. According to Van Der Giessen, the
parties involved plan to work closely with
some combined promotions to market the
facility.
The hotel has been the destination of
Presidents Hayes and Garfeld. It has been
visited by celebrities such as Humphrey
Bogart, Lauren Bacall, Babe Ruth and Joe
DiMaggio. For decades, the Island House
Restaurant was the epitome of fne din-
ing and served for over a century as the
cornerstone of downtown Port Clinton.
Other businesses have come and gone, but
the Island House has stood the test of time
for over 125 years.
Kevin Lowe, formerly of Nate’s Restau-
rant and other area top line food service
facilities, has teamed up for a second time
with local developer and entrepreneur
Bill Van Der Giessen, who for many years
owned and operated the Nor’Easter Club
on Catawba. Both Kevin and Bill noted
the difference in the two establishments.
1812 is a fne dining establishment that
has largely incorporated a menu that looks
a lot like Nate’s old menu. Rosie’s, named
for another famous former Port Clinton
resident, has a much more casual dining
atmosphere. Both are now open for lunch
and dinner.
I no longer feel the need to preach to the
new owners the importance of properly
operating their new entities as a “sacred
trust”. Both are long-time Port Clinton
area residents and understand the impor-
tance of The Island House to the fabric of
the community. They held a quiet opening
a couple of weeks ago. My wife Mary Alice
and I just had to give it a try on opening
night. It was superb. Their “offcial” Grand
Opening is scheduled for September 10, to
coincide with the 199th anniversary of the
Battle of Lake Erie.
Kevin and Bill expect to be open through-
out the year so locals and visitors alike will
have another great choice for dining out.
They will host meetings, weddings and
other events in the nearly 10,000 square

Since 1993, over $65,890.00 has been
donated to United Way in Ottawa Coun-
ty by the National Bank of Ohio. NBOH
has also had diaper and food drives, and
time has been volunteered by NBOH
employees.
United Way has partnered with the
National Bank of Ohio in an effort to
ignite a social movement, encouraging
residents to give, advocate and volun-
teer to improve the conditions in Ottawa
County.
United Way’s mission is to improve
lives by mobilizing the caring power of
communities, to advance the common
good. United Way 211 connected 1,262
Ottawa County residents to community
resources in 2011.
48 percent of children in the Port
Clinton City Schools qualify for free or
reduced-price lunches. A summer lunch
program was created by several local or-
ganizations to help ensure that students
have access to healthy meals in the sum-
mer. The Summer Lunch & Fun program
served more than 75 nutritious lunches
two days a week at three sites to any
student that attended Port Clinton City
Schools in 2011.
Many families with limited incomes
have personal goals of increasing their
fnancial stability. Public benefts and
community resources may be available,
but the complexity of the system makes
it diffcult to gain access. With the help of
the United Way, 494 people were assisted
through the Ottawa County family wrap-
around programs and case management,
providing a guiding hand and support
toward long-term fnancial and housing
stability.
More than 40 people have raised their
hands to volunteer for a three-year, com-
munity-wide campaign to recruit100
readers and tutors.
223 volunteers gave their time for Unit-
ed Way’s annual fundraiser, Gem Beach
Rocks, on Catawba Island.
The National Bank of Ohio would like
to encourage local businesses and indi-
viduals to join them in giving, advocat-
ing, and volunteering as they make an
even greater difference this year.
NBOH has been in business since 1934
and is an independently-owned provider
of fnancial services to businesses and
consumers. Currently NBOH operates
four full- service offces located in Oak
Harbor, Curtice, Port Clinton and Or-
egon, and two loan production offces in
Perrysburg and Fremont, Ohio.
United Way partners with NBOH
Port Clinton is the host for the September
training of the Main Street Revitalization
Series with Heritage Ohio. The topic of the
Wednesday, Sept. 19, workshop is Commu-
nity Branding and Marketing.
This hands-on workshop will help clarify
the meaning and benefts of place brand-
ing. Questions to be asked include: What
is a brand? What is your city’s brand? Why
should you care? Who defnes it? Who con-
trols it? Can you change it? What’s the dif-
ference between a logo and a brand? What’s
the difference between a desired brand and
an actual brand?
There will be breakout time in smaller
groups, followed by researching and defn-
ing audiences, studying the competition
and clarifying the features and benefts of a
place. All this information will then be used
to defne a brand message strategy that can
effectively beneft your community.
The Community Branding and Market-
ing workshop is from 10:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.
at the Port Clinton Yacht Club, 127 Brook-
lyn Ave., Port Clinton. To register, visit

Otterbein North Shore, in keeping with
its mission of embracing a whole-person
wellness philosophy, has added a new di-
mension to the community – drum circles.
Recently three employees became certifed
HealthRHYTHMS facilitators, trained in
recreational Empowerment Drumming,
an evidence-based therapeutic approach
to wellness based upon an emerging disci-
pline called Rhythmacology.
At Otterbein North Shore the drum em-
powerment sessions elicited immediate
interest and enjoyment from the residents.
Participants smiled throughout the session
and wanted to know “when can we do this
again?” Drumming is now offered month-
ly, with full participation. Resident Janet
Clark commented, “When we’re drum-
ming there’s a smile on everyone’s face!”
Joe Williams, who plays the banjo, said he
comes because he enjoys music and the as-
sociation with other people.
“Music is a common denominator. Most
people enjoy music, but can’t necessar-
ily play an instrument profciently,” said
HealthRHYTHMS Facilitator Barbara
Radebaugh. She added that empower-
ment drumming is ideal for everyone, as
it is an opportunity to participate in rec-
reational music making while reducing
stress and increasing a feeling of joy, im-
proving wellness.
Otterbein North Shore plans to offer a
limited amount of recreational Drum Em-
powerment sessions to community orga-
nizations, as well as to continue to offer it
as an activity for residents.
For more information about the pro-
gram, contact any of the three trained
HealthRHYTHMS facilitators at Otterbein
North Shore - Kim Beaver, Barbara Rade-
baugh or Jody Strickling - at 419-798-
8203.

HOW WILL MY LIVING
TRUST AVOID PROBATE?
A Revocable Living Trust ensures that
your estate does not require a court super-
vised probate. Probate is the process of a
court overseeing your fnal distribution of
assets at death. Whether or not you have a
will, probate is necessary unless you choose
to have your estate administered outside of
probate. You have a selected trustee who is
responsible for carrying out your wishes
after your death. Your declaration of trust
states your desires, and your trustee fol-
lows your exact directions to distribute
immediately without court direction.
WHO CAN BE A TRUSTEE?
During your lifetime, you are the trust-
ee. At your death, a person chosen by you
handles your affairs, receiving their in-
structions from your written document.
This person can be anyone who you totally
trust and frmly believe will follow your di-
rections. It can be a family or non-family
member. Many times it is best to have an
outsider administer your estate to guaran-
tee equality and the correct distribution in
accordance with your directions. A bank
trust department is often used when the
trust is to last a long time or special fnan-
cial guidance is necessary to preserve and
grow the assets.
DEFINITIONS.
The GRANTOR is the person writing
the trust and providing directions as to
the distribution of assets. The TRUSTEE
is normally you while you are alive. You
hold title as trustee rather than individu-
ally to allow for automatic transfer at your
death. The SUCCESSOR TRUSTEE is a
person named in the document to imme-
diately take control after your death. The
BENEFICIARY is the individual or charity
named to receive the assets after all debts
are paid.
WHEN IS THERE A TRUST?
A trust is created when you sign a docu-
ment directing that a trustee hold title
to your assets with a further direction to
transfer to a named benefciary later. You
then FUND the trust by transferring title
of the assets to the trustee of the trust. At
that time, you no longer own the asset
personally but as a trustee. You direct the
trustee to distribute the assets immediate-
ly at death or to continue to hold the asset
until a child is of a certain age or until an-
other person should die and then transfer
to his children or some other person.
WHY HAVE A TRUST?
The purpose beyond probate avoidance
is to control the assets after your death to
complete your estate plan. Giving assets
directly to children at your death may be
a bad idea. Family problems, money prob-
lems or disability problems offer reasons
to leave the assets in your trust until that
problem can be resolved. Having a trustee
control and invest your assets for a benef-
ciary can provide stability and protection.
People think a trust is only for the
wealthy. There are many nontax reasons
to use a revocable trust and protect your
estate.

The nose is warm and inviting, reminiscent
of nutmeg, almond and brioche, coffee bean
and bittersweet chocolate demonstrate this
wine’s persistence. This Cab coats the entire
palate with favors of silk caramels and dark
fruits.
The wine is dark, and attractive garnet red
with deeper shades of violet refecting the
high proportion of merlot, this 2008 opens
on intense, almost jammy red fruit mingled
with delicate touches of roasted coffee.
Round and perfectly structured on the
palate, it reveals blackberry and black current
fruit. Great aging potential!

This is a highly rich, dramatic Cabernet. The
underlying fruit is spectacular, offering tiers
of blackberries, black currants and cocoa,
while 100% new French oak aging lends
strong, but balanced, layers of toast. The
tanins are ripe and sturdy, yet very fnely
ground. 95 Points - Wine Enthusiast
This wine displays rich blackberry, cassis,

With hurricane season
fully under way and torna-
does, fooding and home
fres an ever-present threat,
the American Red Cross is
asking the public to con-
sider learning more about
becoming a disaster volun-
teer this year.
“Having a trained, pre-
pared and ready-to-help
team of volunteers is one of
the most valuable resourc-
es a community can rely
on when disaster strikes,”
said Ottawa County direc-
tor, Beth Leggett. “Often,
it takes a disaster of great
proportion, as Hurricane
Katrina was, to remind
people that volunteers are
needed.”
In an effort to build
upon the strong teams of
volunteers that are able to
respond at home or across
the nation, the Red Cross
will conduct Disaster Col-
lege Weekends at area
training hubs this fall.
Disaster College 100,
a package of classes re-
quired in order to become
a member of the Red Cross
Disaster Services Human
Resources System, the
cadre of trained disaster re-
sponders, will be offered in
September.
Disaster College 200, of-
fered in October, combines
additional classroom learn-
ing with hands- on training
opportunity.

While many were glued to their televi-
sion sets watching the Olympics the past
two weeks, friends and relatives of 12-year
old Lauren Redfern were closely watch-
ing their computer screens and Facebook
pages as she made a little history of her
own. She’s not competing in London, but
she did become the youngest competitor
to participate and complete the Missouri
American River MR340, a 340-mile en-
durance canoe and kayak race across the
state of Missouri from the frst stroke in
Kansas City to the last gasp in St. Charles.
Lauren, a soon-to-be seventh grader at
Holy Childhood School in Mascoutah, Il-
linois, is the daughter of former Port Clin-
ton and Marblehead residents Jonathan
and Edie (Gaydosh) Redfern. The family
relocated to Mascoutah, which is about 30
minutes from St. Louis, 3 years ago when
Jonathan, a senior master sergeant in the
Air Force, was transferred to Scott Air
Force Base.
At 12-years old, Lauren set the record as
the youngest paddler ever to compete and
fnish the MR340 race, the longest non-
stop canoe race in the world. She and her
father, a 1988 graduate of Port Clinton
High School, and family friend and team-
mate, Kaitlin Jiral, 21, of San Marcos, Texas
spent a rigorous 54 hours and 27 minutes
paddling day and night down the Missouri
River.
During the event, teams had mandatory
checkpoints with race offcials that also
offered a rest stop where support teams
could provide food and medical supplies.
At the start of the race July 30, there were
340 teams, but by Aug. 3, only 230 fn-
ished, giving the Redfern team third place
in their division and an 18th overall fnish.
Jonathan is an experienced paddler who
has competed in adventure races and ca-
noe/kayak racing all over the world. His
interest in paddling began nearly 20 years
ago when he was stationed at Howard Air
Force Base in Panama, where he and Edie,
raced in Cayucos [hollowed out trees built
by local Indians indigenous to Central
America] from the Atlantic to the Pacifc
Ocean through the Panama Canal. His
most recent endeavor was the Texas Water
Safari (the world’s toughest canoe race),
where he and his teammate fnished in the
top 20. Jonathan is also a veteran of the
MR340 having paddled twice previously
with top 5 fnishes both times. In 2010, af-
ter some persuasion, he joined a team that
now holds the Guinness World Record for
the longest journey by a dragon boat. Lau-
ren has spent her entire life cheering on
her dad; it was only natural that she would
become interested in competing as well.
Because of Jonathan’s extensive paddling
skill and knowledge, Lauren was allowed
to get an age-waiver to participate in this
year’s race.
Lauren began training in earnest for the
MR340 about a month ago. “My dad and I
did some short trips to the Kaskaskia River
so that I could learn how to paddle cor-
rectly and steer the boat,” said Lauren. “He
also made me learn how to do a wet en-
try just in case we fipped. We drove to St.
Louis and did a long paddle so I could get
used to the river and could learn how hard
it would be to sit in the boat for long peri-
ods of time. My dad is huge on safety and
drilled me on boating safety rules, what-if
scenarios and marine and river terminol-
ogy.” In addition, her dad had her read
extensively about food, nutrition, and the
importance of electrolytes. To prepare, she
also stopped drinking sugar and caffeine.
Those safety lessons came in handy in the
early hours of the morning on night two,
when they found a female solo paddler in
distress. The paddler had become separat-
ed from her boat and was calling for help.
Team Redfern was successful in rescu-
ing her and her boat and they were able
to contact the race safety offcials and pro-
vide exact coordinates to aid the paddler
who did eventually fnish the race.
“My motivation for participating in this
race was knowing that if I fnished I would
be the youngest paddler to ever do the race
and paddle the entire 340 miles,” said Lau-
ren, that and a promise of an ice cold Mc-
Donald’s Coke at the fnish line kept me
going.”
Lauren said the hardest part of the race
was staying in the boat when you really
wanted to get out and of course trying to
stay awake.
“It’s very easy to get angry at your team-
mates when you are tired, hungry, wet and
cold,” she said. “It was also a little strange
to be so tired that your eyes start to play
tricks on you. I kept seeing large crowds of
people and a bear on the sand bars.”
Endurance, competitiveness and pa-
tience were other key skills the team said
they used to complete the race.
Lauren’s mom, Edie, a 1989 graduate
of Danbury High School, said that, “even
though Lauren is very adventurous, she
did have one small fear--Asian Carp. She’s
had previous experience with them jump-
ing into her kayak and actually bruising
her ribs before she could get it back out of
the boat.”
During this trip at night while the team
was skirting one of the shallow dikes, three
carp jumped into their boat, but no one
was hurt.
“It was scary and the biggest fsh I have
ever seen,” said Lauren. “It was dark, we
were stuck on a log and the fsh weighed at
least 20 pounds. I’ve been hit by an Asian
carp before so I was even more scared that
I would get hurt. The fsh was so big my
dad (Jonathan) had to grab it by its tail
with both hands and throw it out of the
boat. Two more jumped in before we were
able to get out of the wing dike. Kaitlin and
I were screaming the entire time and our
fellow paddlers teased us about it for miles
down the river.”
“Anyone who knows Jonathan, Lauren
and Kaitlin knows they are very competi-
tive, however our goal for both girls was
for this race to be a positive experience so
that they would want to race again,” said
Edie.
“So many times we see young athletes
in paddling sports compete in one race,
never to compete again,” said Jonathan.
“We hoped that both of them would enjoy
the experience so much that they would
get ‘hooked’! I think we were successful.”
Who knows maybe in a few years there will
be a female tandem of Redfern and Jiral!

PORT CLINTON – Melanie Anslow
has joined the nursing staff of the Ottawa
County Health Department.
Anslow, a Catawba
Island resident, has
been in the nursing
profession 38 years.
She works in the
home health care
division on a part-
time basis, visiting
patients in the pri-
vacy of their homes.
She began her em-
ployment there in mid-April.
“What’s not to like,” she said about the
profession. “In my mind, I have always
been a nurse for as long as I can remem-
ber.”
“Home health care is a great oppor-
tunity to see your patients in their own
setting. You get to know their kids, their
family.” Anslow said.
Anslow came on board with a wealth of
experience, said Diane Kokinda, the de-
partment’s director of nursing.
Her hiring brings the nursing staff to
four full-time employees and four part-
time employees, Kokinda added.
Anslow has a husband and three chil-
dren, a son and daughter who live in Ot-
tawa County, and a daughter who lives in
Columbus.

“Maximize me” could be a new mantra for people giving the gift of life through the
American Red Cross.
“It’s human nature to want to make the most of things,” said Tiffany Hayes, Spokes-
person for the Western Lake Erie Blood Service Region of the American Red Cross. “At
the American Red Cross, we want to help our blood donors maximize their donation by
recommending donation options that best meet hospital and patient needs.”
Whole blood donations typically yield three main components: red cells, platelets and
plasma. Medical professionals may prescribe transfusions of particular blood compo-
nents to treat specifc patient needs. Patients experiencing chronic blood loss, surgeries,
anemia or trauma may need red cells. Cancer patients frequently need platelets. Patients
in shock, with serious burns, or with some blood or immune disorders may need plasma.
Blood type can play an important role in meeting patient demand for certain blood
products. For instance, most patients can receive red cells from type O donors, while
most patients can receive plasma from type AB donors.
“Whole blood is rarely transfused as an individual unit,” said Hayes. “Collecting blood
components based on blood type can be extremely helpful in meeting hospital demand.”
Donors can give whole blood, double red cells, and platelets and plasma through par-
ticular donation procedures. Since type O and B red cells are in high demand, donors
with those blood types may be asked to give double red cells. And since demand is high
for type A and AB platelets and plasma, type A and AB donors may be asked to give these
components.
“Our goal is to fnd the donation procedure that’s the
best ft for you and for hospital patients,” said Hayes. “The
main point to remember is this: whatever your blood type
and whatever way you chose to give, someone needs you.”
The Western Lake Erie Region of The American Red
Cross serves 11 counties, and needs to collect about 300
units of blood a day to meet patient need in 24 hospitals.
How to Donate Blood
To schedule an appointment to donate call 1-800-RED
CROSS (1-800-733-2767) or visit www.redcrossblood.org
for more information. Individuals who are 17 years of age
(16 with parental permission in Ohio), meet weight and
height requirements (110 pounds or more, depending on
their height) and are in generally good health may be eli-
gible to donate blood. Please bring your Red Cross blood
donor card or other form of positive ID when you come
to donate.

Commemoration of the Battle of the
Peninsula Sept. 22 and 23 The Ottawa
County Historical Society Keeper’s House
will sponsor a War of 1812 military en-
campment and bicentennial activities on
Sept. 22 and 23 at the Wolcott Keeper’s
Cottage at 9999 East Bayshore Road, Mar-
blehead. The event will commemorate the
frst battle fought on Ohio soil during the
War of 1812.
Activities will include skirmishes in pe-
riod uniforms, music, food and beverages,
and speakers who will describe the cir-
cumstances of the battle and the roles of
Tecumseh and Native American peoples
in the War of 1812. Speakers will also dis-
cuss Native American food and medicines.
There will be a memorial service at 2 p.m.
on Saturday the 22nd to honor the sacri-
fces of the fallen.
The First Skirmish, also known as the
Battle of the Peninsula, was a two-day skir-
mish between local state militia and a force
of Native Americans. Several ferce battles
took place between US and British troops
and their Native American allies, as well as
the pivotal Battle of Lake Erie on Septem-
ber 10, 1813, which changed the history of
the world and the map of North America
forever.
Compared to other arenas of the war,
the fghting on Marblehead may seem
inconsequential, but brave men on both
sides suffered grievous wounds and lost
their lives for what they believed to be just
causes.
Up until the confrontation on Septem-
ber 29, the militia and the Native Ameri-
cans had been engaged in a protracted cat
and mouse game. Everything changed that
morning when the militia walked into a
carefully laid ambush.
Native Americans suddenly rose up from
deep grass and let loose a well coordinated
fusillade of musket and rife fre, killing a
local farmer named Valentine Ramsdell,
who had been acting as guide, and severely
wounding another soldier. While the battle
ended with no clear-cut victor, forty Na-
tive Americans and eight militiamen had
lost their lives by the time it was over.
To learn more about the First Skirmish,
the War of 1812, and Native American
history and culture, visit the Marblehead
Lighthouse Keeper’s Cottage Sept. 22 and
23.

tember’s scheduled activities, check the

Clay Evans is no stranger to the music business. Clay started
his frst band, Bluestring, in 1998 while attending the University
of Georgia in the national music mecca of Athens, GA. Within a
few years the group became local heroes, winning the Flagpole
Athens Music Award for “Best Band To See Live” and selling
out the historic Georgia Theatre a record-setting six times. The
band’s local success garnered attention from national booking
agents and Bluestring took it’s act on the road, playing as
many as two hundred shows per year. In 2002, Clay’s quirky,
authentic writing was noticed by Allman Brothers’ drummer
Butch Trucks and the drum legend signed Bluestring to his
own Flying Frog Records. Clay dedicated the next few years
of his life to his songwriting and began to focus on a solo career. Evans has a soulful, hooky writing
style and his musical perspective has been described as “Paul Simon meets Gavin Degraw.” Currently
he is working with numerous co-writers in Nashville including Steve Leslie, Mike Willis (Big Tractor
Publishing), James Farrell, Larissa Maestro, Josh Byrd, Glenn Mitchell, Matt Moore, and Jay Brunswick
(Better Angels Music).

Name: Mark Konieczny
School: Oak Harbor
Position: Running back
Height: 5’ 7’’
Weight: 180 lbs.
Class: Senior
Overview: Last week, Konieczny ran 15 times for 243
yards and four touchdowns in leading the Oak Harbor
Rockets to 63-6 victory over Sheffeld Brookside in the
opening game of the 2012 season.
Konieczny is hoping for big things this season. For one,
he is hoping to lead Oak Harbor back to the playoffs for
the frst time since 2007 and has a shot at breaking the
single-season and school records for rushing yards.
Konieczny, who rushed for 1394 yards last season, got
off to a good start with his performance last Friday, mov-
ing him within 1229 yards of the career rushing record
held by Roger Hamilton, a 1995 graduate of OHHS. The
single-season rushing record is 1720 yards, held by ‘03
graduate J.D. Bergman, who had a stellar wrestling career
at Ohio State University.
Konieczny was complimentary of the job the linemen
did opening up holes for him in their victory over the
Cardinals. “That was exceptional (blocking),” Konieczny
said. “They were blowing their defenders fve yards back.”
Konieczny is one of four captains on the team and un-
derstands the importance of serving as a leader. “We all
work together to keep everybody in line,” Konieczny said
of he and his fellow seniors. “I think the biggest thing is we
lead by example.”
Besides being a stellar athlete, (he also earned frst-team
league honors in baseball last spring), Konieczny is also a
fne student who maintains a 4.0 grade-point average. He
says that he is considering Ohio State and Ohio University,
as well as some other schools, and notes that he is thinking
of majoring in aviation in college.
He has two sisters, Julia, 19, and Faith, 13. Julia currently
attends OSU and Faith in an eighth-grader. His mother,
Kathy, works as a teacher, and his father, John, works for
the Jeep plant in Toledo and also manages the family res-
taurant, Kozy Korners, in Oak Harbor.
“I’m really excited (about this season),” he said. “We’ve
got a lot of hard-working guys and I think the (hard work)
will pay off.”

Player of
the Week
BY YANEEK SMITH
Behind three touchdown runs from
quarterback Addison Rospert, Port
Clinton rallied from an early 7-0 def-
cit and defeated Woodmore, 35-14.
After Wildcats quarterback Jake
Matwiejczyk hit Zach Brossia for a
42-yard touchdown with 5:48 re-
maining in the frst quarter, the Red-
skins responded, scoring the next fve
touchdowns to take control of the
contest.
Rospert scored on an 18-yard run
with 3:45 left in the frst quarter to tie
the score at 7 and, later in the quar-
ter, running back Cody Smith gave
Port Clinton the lead for good when
he raced 80 yards for a touchdown to
make it 14-7. Rospert had two touch-
down runs (32, 1) in the second quar-
ter, pushing the lead to 28-7 at half-
time and the Wildcats never seriously
threatened after that.
“Addison just adds another dimen-
sion to our offense in that he can run
the ball,” said Port Clinton head coach
Toby Hammond. “We just wanted to
make sure he could do his thing.”
The Redskins rushed for 250 yards
on 40 carries and accounted for 284
yards of total offense. Smith led the
way, running for 140 yards on fve
carries and a touchdown and Rospert
fnished with 10 carries for 48 yards
and three touchdowns.
The Redskins intercepted Matwiejc-
zyk six times, including two apiece by
Rospert and Brock Moore. Trey Gluth
returned an interception 85 yards for
a touchdown in the third quarter to
push the lead to 35-7.
But the real key to victory came in
how Port Clinton’s defense was able
to hold Woodmore’s rushing attack
in check and force them into obvious
passing situations. For the game, the
Wildcats rushed for just 61 yards on
21 carries.
“I was really pleased with how well
we played de-
fensively,” Ham-
mond said.
“Our secondary
played well, ex-
cept for the one
blown coverage.
I think we end-
ed up with six
picks and we ran
one back (for a
touchdown).”
Offensively, the
Redskins made
some big plays
but weren’t able
to consistently
run the ball ef-
fectively. In fact,
over half of their 250 rushing yards
came on two long runs by Smith.
“To help our defense out, we were
counting on us running the football
and playing keep away, but I was dis-
appointed that we didn’t block well.”
This week, the Redskins travel to
Delphos to face the St. John’s Blue
Jays, a Division IV powerhouse pro-
gram. In fact, St. John’s has won six
state titles in the last 15 seasons.
It is the beginning of the toughest
stretch of the season for Port Clinton
as they play the frst of four consecu-
tive road games (Genoa, Edison, Oak
Harbor). The game, which takes place
on Saturday, features two teams who
rely on a strong running game and
solid, unrelenting defense. The Blue
Jays feature a stout rushing attack led
by Tyler Jettinghoff. In St. John’s 18-

ping with the run, so we’ve got to play

Behind a Herculian performance from
running back Cody German, the Danbury
Lakers defeated Elyria Open Door Chris-
tian, 63-20, to open the season 1-0.
The Lakers jumped out to a 24-0 lead in
the frst quarter behind touchdowns from
German and Brandon Bahnsen. German,
who fnished with 234 yards on the ground,
scored from 41 yards out just 13 seconds
into the second quarter to make it 32-0.
The Patriots, who were competing in their
frst football game in the school’s history,
cut the defcit to 32-8 on an 8-yard touch-
down pass from Tyler Haas to Jacob Lowe.
German then put the game away, scor-
ing from 70 yards out with 7:56 remaining
in the frst half to push the lead to 38-12.
Danbury would go into the half with a
50-8 lead and Open Door never threat-
ened thereafter.
For Danbury head coach Bryan Dudash,
who took over during the offseason, it was
his frst career victory.
“It was a great way to start the season,”
said Dudash, who served as the team’s
offensive coordinator in 2009-10. “I was
happy to get the frst win, my frst win
personally. The main thing is that we came
through healthy. We got the opportunity
to get into a game situation (and) it was
nice to get some young guys into the ball-
game. Our guys made some plays and the
offensive line played great.”
As a team, the Lakers rushed for 580
yards and set a school record for points
(63) in a game.
“It was a special night for (Open Door),”
Dudash said, alluding to the fact that it
was the Patriots’ frst game in the pro-
gram’s history. “We did a fairly nice job
(on defense). They had a few playmakers
that had us concerned going into the game
(and) we knew their quarterback getting
into space would be trouble. We contained
them in the frst quarter, but we were not
happy that they had some good drives and
we had some penalties.”
This Friday, Danbury travels to Holgate
to face the Tigers, a school out of the Green
Meadows Conference.
“They have about the same number of
guys as we do (in the program),” Dudash
said. “They like to run the ball. They don’t
have humongous size, they’re a lot like us.
It should be their running game versus our
balanced attack.”
Holgate lost a tough game to North Balti-
more, 32-17, in Week 1. The Tigers feature
a rushing attack that is led by running back
Chance Gray. Last week, Gray ran for 87
yards on 11 carries and a touchdown while
quarterback Jacob Williams completed 10-
of-18 passes for 119 yards, a touchdown
and two interceptions.
Last season Holgate,
which is located 15 miles
east of Defance, went 2-8.
“We’ll make sure that
we get a lot of work in
(this week),” Dudash said.
“We’re going to work on
stopping (Holgate’s) run.
And we’re going to use a
balanced attack on offense
to combat them.”
Holgate is the frst of three
road games for the Lakers
who travel to Sandusky to
face St. Mary CC in Week
3 and Cardinal Stritch in
Oregon in Week 4. To make
matters worse, the Lakers
must travel 90 miles for
their games against the Ti-
gers this week.

This one was never in doubt.
Oak Harbor recovered a fumble on the frst play from scrimmage and scored on the
ensuing play before cruising to a 63-6 victory over Sheffeld Brookside at home Friday.
The Rockets dominated throughout, scoring four touchdowns in the frst quarter be-
fore taking a 49-0 lead into the half.
Oak Harbor running back Mark Konieczny led the way, running 15 times for 243 yards
and four touchdowns. He was consistently provided with sizable holes all night as the
offensive line manhandled the Cardinals’ defensive front.
Fullback Ben Genzman and backup running back Dillon Glass fnished with 56 yards
and one touchdown apiece and the Rockets fnished with 469 yards rushing as a team.
“The (offensive line) did a nice job,” said Oak Harbor
head coach Mike May. “They came off the ball and were
physical and that’s what we challenge our kids to do on
both sides of the ball.”
The Rocket defense was magnifcent, holding Brook-
side’s running game in check and forcing six punts.
“Everybody was doing their job (on defense) and I was
thrilled to see us swarming to the ball on just about every
play,” said Oak Harbor safety Austin Wiegand. “The de-
fense did an awesome job shutting them down. Altogeth-
er, the defense demoralized Brookside from the frst snap.”
Wiegand, who also plays quarterback, was 2-for-2 for 39
yards and a touchdown. His 28-yard scoring strike to Ja-
mie Balboa came towards the end of the frst quarter and
put the Rockets ahead 28-0.
This week, Oak Harbor plays cross-town rival Genoa for
the Celestial Bowl. Genoa defeated Ottawa Hills, 58-7, in
Week 1 behind 553 yards rushing as a team. All-Ohio run-
ning back Kyle Nutter led the way, carrying the ball 16
times for 237 yards and fve touchdowns.
Since 2007, the Comets have established themselves as
one of the top programs in northwest Ohio, going 56-7 in
the last fve seasons and establishing themselves as a pe-
rennial playoff team. Genoa has won the last four games
in the series by a combined score of 178-20, with the clos-
est game coming in ‘10 when the Comets held off Oak
Harbor, 15-7.
Genoa returns just seven starters (three on offense, four
on defense) and has only seven seniors on the team, but
possesses incredible depth. The Comets use from six to
eight running backs in a game, having juniors David Nut-
ter, Ryan Espinoza and Alex Hayes as well as sophomores
Cody Pickard and Jake Wojciechowski there to spell Kyle
Nutter when he needs a break.
May knows that his team, while capable of beat Genoa,
has a tough challenge facing them. He’s hopeful that the
Rockets’ stellar play against the Cardinals is an indication
of things to come this season.
“Hopefully, we can take some momentum from the
(Brookside) game and use it this week (against Genoa),”
May said.
The next two weeks feature a diffcult portion of the
schedule for the Rockets, who host Eastwood in Week 3.
The Eagles beat Oak Harbor, 52-14, last season. Should
the Rockets get through the non-conference portion of
their schedule with a 2-1 or even a 3-0 record, things will
set up nicely for them as they enter Sandusky Bay Confer-
ence play.

Next week, we observe Labor Day, which
honors all the hard-working men and
women in the United States. As an investor,
you’d like to think that all your investments
are working hard, too — including the ones
that are producing income. But can your
income-oriented investments be produc-
tive when short-term interest rates are at
historic lows? Or can you fnd other invest-
ment possibilities that could potentially
boost your cash fow?
The answer to both these questions is
“yes” — but you may have to take a closer
look at where you stand on the risk-reward
spectrum.
For example, you might need to consider
longer-term income producers, which typi-
cally pay higher yields than shorter-term
equivalents. Longer-term fxed-rate securi-
ties, such as bonds, must pay these higher
rates to reward investors, who face both
interest-rate risk — the possibility that in-
terest rates will rise, causing the value of ex-
isting bonds to fall — and infation risk, the
threat of losing purchasing power by the
time long-term bonds have matured. Still,
you may be willing to accept these risks in
exchange for the higher yields.
However, you may be looking for income
producers that can work hard for you with-
out having to hold them for a long period to
maturity. This is because the “yield curve”
— the line that plots the relationship be-
tween yield and maturity — is fairly steep
right now, which, in English, means you can
gain noticeably higher yields just by mod-
estly increasing the maturity of your invest-
ments. Your fnancial advisor can suggest
some short-term and intermediate-term
vehicles that may be appropriate for your
needs. And while these rates will still not be
as high as those offered by longer-term ve-
hicles, they do offer fexibility — along with
less interest-rate risk and infation risk.
You can also help protect yourself from
these risks by building a “ladder” consisting
of short-, intermediate- and longer-term
bonds and certifcates of deposit (CDs).
Once you’ve built your ladder, it can help
you weather changing interest-rate envi-
ronments. When market rates are low, you’ll
still have your longer-term bonds and CDs
earning higher interest rates. And when
market rates rise, you’ll be able to reinvest
your maturing short-term investments at
the higher levels. If you need the cash, you
can liquidate the maturing bonds and CDs.
Thus far, we’ve only looked at fxed-rate
investments — but you may also be able to
boost your income by owning dividend-
paying stocks. Some companies have paid
— and even increased — their stock divi-
dends for many years in a row. If you’re not
in need of the cash, you can reinvest the
dividends and boost your ownership stake,
which is a key to increasing your wealth.
But if you do need the money, you can take
the dividends as cash. Keep in mind that
income producers are not a “sure thing”
because companies can decide to reduce,
or even discontinue, their dividends at any
time. In addition, history tells us that you
may experi-
ence more
price vola-
tility from
stocks, and
they can be
worth more
or less than
the original
investment
when sold.
As you can see, you can fnd ways to keep
income-producing investments working
hard for you, despite the prevailing low in-
terest rates. So consider your options, weigh
the risks — and then work with your fnan-
cial advisor to make those choices that are
right for you.
This article was written by Edward Jones
for use by your local Edward Jones Financial
Advisor.
You must evaluate whether a bond or CD
ladder and the securities held within it are
consistent with your investment objectives,
risk tolerance and fnancial circumstances.
Certifcates of deposit (CDs) are federally
insured up to $250,000 (principal and inter-
est accrued but not yet paid) per issuing in-
stitution. Please visit fdic.gov or contact your
fnancial advisor for additional information.
CD values are subject to interest rate risk such
that when interest rates rise, the prices of CDs
can decrease. If CDs are sold prior to ma-
turity, the investor can lose principal value.
FDIC insurance does not cover losses in mar-
ket value.
Before investing in bonds, you should un-
derstand the risks involved, including interest
rate risk, credit risk and market risk. Bond
investments are subject to interest rate risk
such that when interest rates rise, the prices
