The Beacon - March 8, 2012

Congratulations to several
local sports teams and athletes
… again! First, Oak Harbor’s
Luke Cramer and Alex Bergman
both fnished fourth in their
respective weight classes at the
state wrestling tournament in
Columbus last weekend. Alex
was in what was regarded as
the toughest weight class at the
tournament! Luke will be back
next year to try again. Also, the
Port Clinton boys’ bowling team
fnished 11th at the state tourna-
ment last weekend in Columbus.
nnn
It was quite an experience
last Saturday night to cover the
Lincoln/Reagan Day dinner at
the Student Union Ballroom at
Bowling Green. I was surprised
to see that Charles Knight of
Fostoria served as the emcee for
the evening. He and I were close
when he followed me as Lt. Gov.
of Kiwanis Division 12 a couple
of years ago. By the time you
read this, the results of Tuesday’s
primary will be known by all.
However, we got to hear from
and photograph Newt Gingrich
and Rick Santorum, as well as
Josh Mandel who will be run-
ning against Sherrod Brown for
the Senate this fall. It was worth
the trip!
nnn
This week, Alberta
Seymour, of Oak
Harbor, found Wylie in
the ad for the American
Legion on page 5A in last week’s
Beacon. Alberta wins our weekly
$20 gift card from Friendship
Food Stores. 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 Web Site
www.thebeacon.net.
nnn
Saturday night, March 10, folks

Port Clinton. First, a couple
of local actors will perform in
something called “Short At-
tention Theatre” from 8 to 9

Bacon Band from 9 to 11 p.m.
The cover charge is $10 and

raiser at Harbor Lanes from 1 to
4 p.m. Sunday, March 11. The

mary. According to unoffcial results from
the Ohio Secretary of State’s offce, Romney

ney took 1,610 local votes compared to San-
torum’s 1,953.

out Dennis Kucinich by more than 12,000

bacher — aka Joe the Plumber — topped Ste-
ven Kraus in the Republican race 15,015 to

main in effect for the next fve years.
• In Genoa, a 1.35-mill levy was replaced
and an increase of 0.25-mills was approved
for permanent improvements in a close vote,
986 to 978. A recount may be necessary when
the offcial results are tallied.
• Funding was approved for a new facility
in the Woodmore Local School District. A
5.43-mill bond issue was passed for a new el-
ementary/middle school building by a vote of
679 to 504. The levy will raise $15,709,840 to

or by the Sea Hospice, located in Spring Lake, N.J.

DD Awareness
In honor of Developmental Disabilities (DD) Awareness
Month, we at REM Ohio Inc. would like to take this op-
portunity to encourage all Ohioans to learn more about
individuals with intellectual and developmental disabili-
ties.
Our state-wide campaign for this year’s celebration and
community outreach is — “Our Community is Better To-
gether.” This theme encourages the public to understand
that when people with disabilities are welcomed into lo-
cal neighborhoods, workplaces, houses of worship, and
schools everyone wins. One of REM Ohio’s goals is to
reduce the stigma of a disability and replace it with an
understanding of abilities.
Several local direct support professionals of REM Ohio
as well as individuals with DD will participate in the De-
velopmental Disability Awareness Month Kick-off Event
held at the Statehouse in Columbus, Ohio on March 1.
We are encouraging everyone to join us at this event and
support the efforts to enhance the public’s knowledge and
awareness about developmental disabilities.
DD Awareness Month not only offers an opportunity
for increasing education, awareness, and community in-
clusion but paves the way toward improving the quality
of life for people with developmental disabilities. Sev-
eral awareness and outreach efforts will be hosted and
community involvement is encouraged throughout the
year. It is, after all, often a lack of knowledge and attitu-
dinal barriers that often results in isolation of citizens and
disconnection of a community.
Our hope is through education and support by our own
friends and neighbors many fears and false public as-
sumptions can be replaced with awareness, understand-
ing, and greater inclusion. Readers that are interested in
bringing awareness and inclusion of people with develop-
mental disabilities into their community can visit www.
rem-oh.com for more information.
Mary K Ziccardi, Regional Director
REM Ohio Inc.
Dear editor,
This is in response to the article written in “Sound Off,”
in the March 1 publication. I’m referring to the Traffc Plea
sent in by Bill Miller of Catawba Island. I am a year-round
Catawba Island resident and drive through the 163 and
53 intersection at least twice daily and sometimes more. I
am in complete agreement with Miller’s article and totally
support his recommendation. I have witnessed numerous
“near” accidents as well as actual accidents at the exact lo-
cation to which Miller refers.
I realize people are trying to be courteous in allowing
drivers from both directions to be able to access McDon-
ald’s, but many times it causes more harm than good. I
agree with him that the entrance and exit to McDonald’s
should be off of 163. I would take it a step further and
make the same recommendation for the Holiday Inn. I
would also hope that the owner of the McDonald’s would
support this recommendation.
I thank you for your time and I always enjoy reading The
Beacon every week, you and your staff do a great job!!
Sincerely,
Julia Sims

Municipal Court Administrator and
Clerk Rebecca Szilagyi recently completed
the 2011 year-end Municipal Court report.
“Gross receipts for this past year were
more than $1.4 million dollars, and the
Court administered to over 7,500 cases,”
Szilagyi said. “In accordance with the Ohio
law, these funds are disbursed to various
departments and law enforcement agen-
cies at the local, county and state levels. Of
the funds collected, more than $550,000
was paid to the Ottawa County General
Fund. An additional $469,000 was dis-
bursed locally and throughout the state
including approximately $40,000 to the
Ohio Victim(s) of Crimes Fund.
Of the newly fled cases: 4,074 were traf-
fc, 2,296 were criminal, 805 were civil and
small claims matters, 316 were garnish-
ments and bank aids and 318 were media-
tion requests.
The Ottawa County Commissioners ap-
proved a budget for 2012 of $724,000 for
the separate (but combined) functions of
the court — Court Operations, Clerk of
Courts Offce and the Probation Depart-
ment.
“The approved budget is actually 2 per-
cent less than 2011, and might have been
under its 2010 approved budget except
for the rising health care costs, which of
course the Court has no control. As in the
past the Municipal Court has collected and
disbursed more monies than the actual
cost of its operation,” Szilagyi said.
The court handles traffc and criminal
misdemeanors as well as felony cases to
determine whether probable cause exists
to bind an accused over to the Court of
Common Pleas. The Court also hears civil
cases such as contract, personal injury,
sale of personal property, landlord-tenant
matters, garnishments and attachment
proceedings.
Municipal Court Judge Frederick C.
(Fritz) Hany II said that overall flings in
Municipal Courts around the state have
declined from the previous year and the
Ottawa County Municipal Court is no ex-
ception.
“Even though our overall cases have de-
creased in numbers, it appears that drug/
alcohol-related offenses and property
crimes continue to be a large part of the
2,296 cases on our criminal docket,” Hany
said. “We have cases involving shop lifting,
theft of scrap metal and drug abuse cases
involving not only marijuana and cocaine
but also ‘bath salts’ of all things.”
The Court regularly evaluates persons
for different levels of supervision depend-
ing upon their risk to the public of com-
mitting future crimes.
“The good news is that OVI and Domes-
tic Violence cases are down. Due in large
part, I believe, to more public awareness
and a trained and experienced law en-
forcement community,” Hany added.
During 2011, the Court’s two Probation
Offcers conducted 246 pre-sentence in-
vestigations, tracked 391 cases of alcohol/
drug treatment, counseling and other edu-
cation programs, collected an additional
$35,000 in restitution for victims of crime
and monitored more than 9,000 hours of
community service. Currently, the Proba-
tion Department monitors 186 people on
various levels of probation from unsuper-
vised to the Court’s intensive BenchMark
Program targeting on Domestic Violence
and OVI offenders.
The court continues to make available
many programs beneftting the citizens of
Ottawa County. In addition to the special-
ized drug/alcohol and mental health court,
it continues to make available mediation
and expanded court business hours.

Ottawa County Commissioners have designated March
as American Red Cross Month. The proclamation states:
“The American Red Cross has touched many lives in Ot-
tawa County, as well as across the country and around the
world.
During American Red Cross Month, we thank those
who contribute to the mission of the Red Cross, whether
through time, money or blood, and we invite others to
support the Red Cross in helping people in need down the
street, across the country and around the world.
“The American Red Cross is synonymous with help-
ing people, and has been doing so for more than 130
years. Throughout the past year, the American Red Cross
launched hundreds of disaster relief operations in the
United States to help people affected by fres, foods, hur-
ricanes and tornadoes. The American Red Cross also sup-
ported major international disasters, including the Japan
earthquake and tsunami response, while continuing its
work on the 2010 Haiti earthquake response and recovery.
“In Ottawa County, the Red Cross works tirelessly
through its volunteers to support us when disaster strikes,
when someone needs life-saving blood, or the comfort of
a helping hand. It provides 24-hour support to members
of the military, veterans and their families, and provides
training in CPR, aquatics safety, and frst aid.
“For nearly 100 years, United States presidents have
called on the American people to support the Red Cross
and its humanitarian mission. Our community depends
on the American Red Cross and because it is not a govern-
ment agency, the Red Cross depends on support from the
public to continue its humanitarian work. This is especial-
ly important in these challenging economic times – which
impact the Red Cross and many people in our community
and across the nation.”

Students interested in environmental science and policy
have a unique opportunity for a summer class: a three-
week trip across the Great Lakes on the tall ship Brig Ni-
agara, a replica of Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry’s fag-
ship from the Battle of Lake Erie during the War of 1812.
The course, which is offered as a partnership between
Ohio State University’s Stone Laboratory, Niagara Uni-
versity and Penn State University, will introduce students
to hands-on lake science and Great Lakes policy issues
while allowing them to experience life aboard an authen-
tic wooden naval warship.
On the voyage, students will stop at ports of call in Mich-
igan, Ohio and Pennsylvania, including a two-day stay at
Stone Laboratory. Much of the course includes sailing the
ship, water sampling, fsh trawling and dissections, and a
general close-up on how lake science and ship handling
works. Class discussions will expand students’ knowledge
of current issues facing the Great Lakes, as well as apply
newly learned materials to concerns about Great Lakes
environmental policy.
While previous sailing experience is not required, stu-
dents will be expected to help sail the ship (within their
level of comfort). According to course instructor Dr. Bill
Edwards, few people have the opportunity to challenge
themselves in such a unique environment, and partici-
pants in previous years have come away from the trip with
newly learned self-confdence, along with valuable lessons
in teamwork, leadership, discipline and communication.
Students from any college or university are welcome to
apply for this three-week feld experience, running from
July 11-31. Stone Laboratory will be offering OSU course
credit for EEOB 3189: Field Experience for undergradu-
ate students and EEOB 5189: Field Work for graduate stu-
dents.
For detailed information, contact Matt Thomas, Stone
Lab Manager, at [email protected] or Bill Edwards,
Niagara University Associate Professor of Biology, at wje@
niagara.edu.
The application deadline is March 19. Interested stu-
dents should apply at stonelab.osu.edu/applynow.

On Feb. 16, Oak Harbor DECA members host-
ed a forum to discuss teen dating violence. Stu-
dents were invited during lunch to participate
in the event. The purpose of the event was to
create awareness about the issue of teen dating
violence
Ottawa County Sheriff Deputy George Byington pre-
sented several sessions to approximately 200 students.
Byington discussed legal issues associated with dating
violence. He also explained what teens should do if they
are being stalked or if they are a victim of other violent
acts. Students learned how they can help others who are
involved in unhealthy relationships and were able to ask
questions at the end of each session.
This event was one of many activities planned for stu-
dents during the Oak Harbor DECA Teen Dating Vio-
lence Prevention and Awareness Week. This week was
part of a public relations campaign entitled “Break the
Silence, End the Violence.” This project was developed
to educate students and community members about
ways to prevent both teen dating and domestic violence.
The campaign managers for this project are Shelby
Wilkins, Kurtis Tallman and Taylor St. Clair.

Phragmites australis, also known as common reed or phragmites, is a large, coarse,
perennial grass that is often found in wetlands, low
lying areas, and ditches. This plant out competes
native vegetation, reduces wildlife habitat, and
decreases property value of lake or river front
homes.
In 2011 the LECWMA treated 1,587 acres of
invasive species on the properties of nearly 100
program participants. Herbicide treatment is
conducted by ground crews, amphibious crews, or
helicopter application. Follow up treatments are
provided to participants, and prescribed burning
and smashing methods are being used to remove
the standing phragmites.
To sign up for the program, contact Mike Libben
at 419-898-1595.

To celebrate agriculture and honor our local producers the Ottawa Soil and Water Conservation District, Natural Resources Conservation Service, Farm
Service Agency, OSU Extension, Ag Credit, the Ottawa County Farm Bureau and various sponsors are celebrating National Agriculture Week by hosting
an Agriculture Community Breakfast. The 2012 Breakfast will be held on Friday, March 23rd, at 8:00 a.m. at St Johns Lutheran Church in Oak Harbor.
The cost for the all-you-can-eat scrambled egg, pancake and ham breakfast is $5.00 and can be obtain by calling the Ottawa SWCD at 419-898-1595.

Featured Speaker will be Karl Gebhardt. Mr. Gebhardt is the recently appointed Chief of the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, Division of Soil and

Proceeds from the breakfast go back into the agricultural community through various scholarships. These scholarships will be awarded to High School
students residing in Ottawa County and going into the field of agriculture, wildlife, forestry or soil and water at the breakfast. For more information about
our Ag Scholarship, please call Kathy Booher at 419-898-3631.

Wildlife Food Plots Do you want to see more wildlife
on your property? Food plots are a great way to keep wildlife on
your land as they improve hunting and viewing by attracting
Deer, Ducks, Turkey, and Pheasants but more importantly, they
provide critical habitats for many species. Attracting wildlife to
your back forty requires that you think beyond traditional
landscaping techniques. Wildlife has four basic requirements for
survival: food, water, shelter and space. Establishing and maintaining wildlife food plots,
however, can be expensive and requires some knowledge of planting and how to properly use
farm equipment. The Ottawa County Soil and Water Conservation District realizes this
hurdle and is proud to offer “wildlife food plot planting” for the 2012 season. The District
will plant wildlife food plots consisting of a choice of Corn, Sorghum, Buckwheat and Millet

Only Rain Down the Drain… Did you know
that everything that enters a roadside drain or ditch in
Ottawa County will eventually enter Lake Erie without
being treated!! The responsibility lies with all of us to keep
our waters clean. There are some simple things that
landowners can do to keep pollution, some of which is the
cause of recent algae blooms, out of Lake Erie.
When applying fertilizer to your lawn this spring, make
sure it only goes on your grass and not on the sidewalk
or driveway. Pick up after your pet, Wash your car on your grass or at a car wash
instead of the driveway. Fix any leaks to your boat or car quickly. One drop of oil can
pollute 26 gallons of water!!

All are invited to enjoy an authentic Amish-style
dinner at the Oak Harbor United Methodist Church
at its eighth annual Amish Style Pot Roast Dinner on
Thursday, March 22. This year’s dinner will be served
buffet style and, as always, it’s all-you-care-to-eat.
Much can be learned from studying the Amish way
of life. Their devotion to family and community and
their strong work ethic are good examples. The Amish
have a strong sense of community spirit, and often
come to the aid of those in need.
Our Amish neighbors have been employing horse-
drawn power since the days when horsepower had a
whole different meaning. In comparison to our fast-
paced society, the simpler, family-centered Amish way
of life holds a special fascination. They have gener-
ously agreed to share a central element of their culture
with us again this year to beneft a great cause.
The menu includes: pot roast of beef, mashed pota-
toes and gravy, traditional handmade bread dressing,
amish-made noodles, green beans, cole slaw (an old
family recipe), rolls and butter, and desserts.
Tickets are $9 for adults, $4 for children (6-12). Kids
under 6 are free.
Dinner will be served from 4:30 to 7 p.m. or until
sold out in the Fellowship Hall at the church, 360 E.

Weekly News From
OTTERBEIN
www.otterbein.org
Otterbein North Shore held an Interior
Design Seminar last week and we learned
a lot about “downsizing.” First things frst:
do one thing. We often hear that momen-
tum begets momentum and changing or
downsizing is no different. It’s that frst
step that seems daunting.
From there, though, it can be very excit-
ing. Choosing what stays, what colors you
want to try on your walls, foors and more,
what you might want new, there are many
possibilities in choosing a new home.
If you’re considering moving to a beautiful maintenance-free patio home by the lake,
make Otterbein North Shore your frst stop. Call today so we can treat you to lunch
and show you around. Or join us for our pre-spring Open House on Sunday, March
18 from 1-3pm.

The Port Clinton’s Redskin Bowl-
ers represented themselves well at the
OHSAA Boys Stater Bowling Cham-
pionships at Wayne Webb’s Colum-
bus Bowl Friday. They fnished 11th
out of a feld of the 16 best teams in
Ohio who advanced through Sec-
tional and District tournaments. The
‘Skins missed fnishing 8th and en-
tering the Championship Round by
only 22 pins.
“Twenty-two pins. Can you believe
it?,” asked Coach Bob Black. “Great
shots that don’t carry between strikes
are 20 pins. Missed spares. We could
fnd 22 pins in a lot of places, but
then, so could all the other teams. We
had our chances. Several open frames
at the end of the third game really
hurt us.”
The ‘Skins started slowly with an
887 game, but improved with 946
and 926 to be 11th, 51 pins out of
eighth after the three games.
“Our goal was to get to the Cham-
pionship round of eight teams and
get to the Baker Elimination matches,
where I think we would have had a
chance against anyone,” said Black.
PC rolled Baker games of 210-177-
175 for another 562 pins but it wasn’t
enough.
“We’ve struggled with Baker all
season,” said Black. “But we rolled
three pretty good games. Unfortu-
nately open frames each of the last
two games cost us. Overall, this might
have been our best performance of
the year.
“This was a fantastic experience for
our players and we competed well,
never gave up. This team can be very
proud of what they accomplished the
last 2 weeks.”
Sean Black earned Honorable Men-
tion All Ohio for his 627 series on
games of 224-215-188. He was pre-
sented a certifcate by the Ohio State
Bowling Coaches Association.
Darryl Trent rolled a fne series of
607 on games of 198-211-198. Da-
vid Wilburn added 535, Nathan Van
Hoose 507 and Jonny Newton 483.
Other team members are Jon Koch,
Jacob Reed, Brock Rider and Sam
Miller.

The Oak Harbor Rockets fnished their season with a
loss in the Division II Sectional Semifnals, falling 63-
37 to Toledo Scott at Clay High School last week.
Competing against a taller, more athletic team, the
Rockets hung tough in the early going, outscoring the
Bulldogs, 14-9, in the second quarter, led by Austin
Wiegand’s nine points, to go into the half down just
two, 21-19.
The Rockets kept things close in the frst two quar-
ters by playing good defense and rebounding the ball.
That all changed in the third quarter, however, when
Scott’s athleticism took over as they used a full-court
press to create problems for Oak Harbor. While the
Rockets were able to break the press in the beginning,
the Bulldogs’ length eventually became overwhelming
and caused trouble for Oak Harbor. Scott outscored
the Rockets, 20-8, in the third quarter to enter the fnal
period with a 41-27 lead before increasing their lead
further.
With the win, the Bulldogs improve to 12-8. The
Rockets, meanwhile, fnish the season with a 3-18 re-
cord.
Oak Harbor head coach Eric Sweet spoke about his
team losing control in the second half.
“(Scott) came out and pressed us in the third quar-
ter,” said Sweet. “We actually broke the press early, but
we didn’t score. There were a couple of possessions
where, if we would’ve scored, we would’ve had a little
more. But then you don’t score and (the lead) gets up
to 10 or 15.”
The Bulldogs were led by Dontonio Kynard, who led
all scorers with 26 points. He was paced by teammates
Shaquille Allen and Delequen Norwood, who fnished
with nine and eight points, respectively.
A.J. Cecil led the Rockets with 10 points, followed by
Austin Weigand and Sam Laderach, who fnished with
nine and eight points, respectively.
Despite the loss, Sweet was proud the effort his kids
put forth.
“Our kids fought, and that’s all I can ask (of) them,”
he said. “I feel for my boys b/c they’ve played their tails
off.”

As they usually do, the Oak Harbor
wrestling team sent a group of ath-
letes to the Division II State Tourna-
ment and returned with some hard-
ware.
This season, two wrestlers, senior
Alex Bergman and junior Luke Cra-
mer, each fnished fourth in their
respective weight classes as the Rock-
ets fnished 19th as a team with 26
points. It was the frst time in six
years that Oak Harbor failed to fnish
in the top-fve at the state meet.
Needless to say, Rocket head coach
George Bergman with the job his
team did this season.
“I’m ecstatic,” said Bergman. “Fif-
teen of our 23 kids are freshman,
we only had one senior. To do what
we did was awesome. We were in the
toughest district in the state (and) it
all started last week getting those guys
down (to Columbus). We very well
could’ve had no guys make it down
there. Any mistake, any hiccup and
you’re not making it to the state tour-
nament.”
Alex Bergman won his frst two
matches in dramatic fashion, defeat-
ing Justin Stitzlein, 2-1, and Jerald
Spohn, 7-5 with both wins coming
via sudden victory. Bergman then
lost to the eventual-state champion,
Bo Jordan (St. Paris Graham), losing
just his 10th match of the season.
In the consolation bracket, Berg-
man faced Stitzlein again, pinning
him in 30 seconds before falling to
Seth Williams (Tiffn Columbian),
5-2, fnishing in fourth place.
For his career, Bergman fnished
with 157 wins, tied for fourth in
school history.
As for Cramer, he defeated Joseph
Jones, 5-4, and Gabe Stark, 6-3, two
wrestlers who had a combined record
of 79-9 before falling in the semif-
nals to eventual second-place fnisher
Dalton Nicely, 8-4.
After moving into the consolation
bracket, Cramer defeated Cameron
Campbell, 4-3, who had beaten him
twice before during the season. How-
ever, Cramer, lost his last match to
Max Rohskopf, fnishing in fourth
place.
Cramer, Bergman take fourth
STATE WRESTLING
A portion of Toussaint Wildlife
Area has been closed to protect a
newly established bald eagle nest, ac-
cording to the Ohio Department of
Natural Resources’ Division of Wild-
life.
A pair of bald eagles has built a nest
on the dike at the Toussaint Wildlife
Area. The dike, which is often used
as a trail, will be closed until further
notice to eliminate human activity
near the nest and provide the birds
an opportunity to produce a success-
ful nest. There will be signs posted
on the wildlife area designating the
closed areas.
Bald eagle eggs take a little more
than a month to hatch, and it takes
another two and a half to three
months before the eaglets’ frst fight.
The nest will be monitored to deter-
mine when the area will be reopened
to the public.
The nest can be seen easily from
the Toussaint Fishing Access, which
is located off of State Route 19, and
provides a great viewing opportunity
to watch the eagles raise their eaglets.
ODNR ensures a balance between
wise use and protection of our nat-
ural resources for the beneft of all.

ohiodnr.com.

MARSH MONITORING PROGRAM
Come to the Ottawa National
Wildlife Refuge to learn about a fun
volunteer opportunity. The Marsh
Monitoring Program is a unique and
rewarding program for enthusias-
tic volunteers to survey wetlands for
both amphibians and marsh birds.
Volunteers involved in the MMP
contribute toward the understanding
and conservation of wetlands within
the Great Lakes Basin. Surveys are
exciting and no prior skill or knowl-
edge is necessary. If you are interested
in either volunteering or just want to
learn more about the program, stop
in between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. Sat-
urday, March 10, at the Ottawa Na-
tional Wildlife Refuge Visitor Center,
at 14000 W. Ohio 2, Oak Harbor. An
MMP regional biologist will be on
hand to answer all of your questions.
If you are interested but cannot at-
tend on this day, or for information
contact Kathy Huffman at 419-898-
0014, ext. 35, or at kathy_huffman@
fws.gov.
Amphibian surveys begin late
March or early April. Am-
phibian routes are surveyed
three times a year during
the late evening, and frogs
are counted at each point
along the route for 3 min-
utes. A typical amphibian
survey takes just one and
a half hours to complete.
Marsh bird surveys begin
in June. Marsh bird routes
are surveyed three times a
year during the early eve-
ning. All birds both seen
and heard are counted at
each point along the route
for 15 minutes. A typical
marsh bird survey can take
three hours to complete.
Each volunteer is provided
with both training materi-
als and feld training.
For information about
these or other Refuge
events, call 419-898-0014,

The Danbury Lakers season ended
with a 53-38 loss to St. Mary Central
Catholic in the Division IV Sectional
Semifnals at Norwalk High School
last week.
The Lakers hung tough in the frst
half, trailing by fve points at half-
time, 22-17, and actually took a 26-
24 lead early in the third quarter on
a three-pointer by Dominic Manu-
ella before the Panthers rallied to take
back control of the contest.
Entering the fourth quarter with a
34-26 lead, SMCC pulled away, out-
scoring the Lakers, 19-12, in the fnal
period. What ultimately did Danbury
in was its inability to rebound in the
second half as the Lakers dealt with
a sizable height disadvantage playing
against the bigger and more physical
Panthers.
With the win, SMCC improves to
12-9 overall and Danbury fnishes the
season with an 0-21 record.
Panther point guard Alex Opfer led
all scorers with 18 points and 10 from
center Joe Youskievicz.
Dylan Buckley led the Lakers with
13 points, followed by Caleb Helline,
who had 10.
Danbury falls to St. Mary CC, 53-38

Recently completed Ohio Sea
Grant research shows that bird
watching along Ohio’s Lake Erie
coast contributes more than $26
million and 283 jobs to northern
Ohio’s economy, according to Dr.
Philip Xie, Director of Bowling
Green State University’s College
of Education and Human De-
velopment. Understanding these
impacts will help local govern-
ments, park managers, and con-
servation groups better support
bird watching and market north-
ern Ohio to attract more bird en-
thusiasts, or “birders.”
There are nearly 2.4 million
birders throughout the state and
birding makes up a large portion
of Ohio’s $39 billion tourism
industry. But until Xie’s study,
nobody knew exactly how much
money birders spent or what
kind of economic impact they
had on communities.
“Having solid numbers will
help policy makers understand
the fnancial impact of bird
watching in terms of how much
tax revenue and jobs it creates,”
Xie says. “And this information
will be useful for strategic mar-
keting—once we know where
these birders are from, we will
know where to spend our mar-
keting dollars better.”
After surveying more than
1,100 birders at six of northern
Ohio’s most popular birding sites
(Oak Openings Preserve, Magee
Marsh Wildlife Area, Sheldon
Marsh State Nature Preserve, Old
Woman Creek, Mentor Marsh
State Nature Preserve, and Con-
neaut Harbor), Xie found that
most bird watchers who visit
sites along the Lake Erie coast
live in Ohio, but many birders
also travel from neighboring
states. Birders’ spending sup-
ports salaries, local products, and
taxes; when local people receive
that money, they turn around
and spend it again. This turnover
of money has a multiplying effect
for the entire region, generating
$1.48 for every dollar that birders
spend in northern Ohio.
Xie will be sharing similar in-
formation with various groups
along Lake Erie about what lo-
cal offcials and parks can do to
draw even more bird watchers.
“Communities have asked for
this economic impact informa-
tion so they can make wise de-
cisions about what investments
to make,” says Melinda Hunt-
ley, Ohio Sea Grant Extension’s
Tourism Program Director who
provided outreach support with
the study. “Before public offcials
plan marketing efforts or en-
hance natural areas and public
access opportunities, they want
to see the potential economic
value.”
In the long run, birding gives
considerable returns on invest-
ments, Xie says.
“It’s important for legislators
to understand the magnitude of
their decisions and to allocate re-
sources and implement policies
to attract birders,” he said.
“After all, birding is big busi-
ness and now we have a lot more
information about how to attract
it.”

The Marine Mechanics Skills
for Life program is planning two
10-day classes coming up and is
seeking participants now.
The frst class, set to begin
March 19, will focus on outboard
marine engines. It will operate
from 5:30 to 9 p.m. Monday to
Thursday and will be at the Ot-
tawa County Community Im-
provement Corp.’s offces on
Ohio 163 in Oak Harbor.
The second class will address
stern-drive motors and will run
from April 2-12. This class will
also operate at the same times
from Monday to Thursday at the
OCIC offces in Oak Harbor.
Supported by several local ma-
rinas, the classes are made pos-
sible by a collaborative effort of
the Ottawa County Community
Improvement Corp., Penta Ca-
reer Center and WSOS Commu-
nity Action Commission.
The class provides students
with program instruction and
hands-on training in the proper
use of all tools used in the ma-
rine mechanic industry: diagno-
sis, repair and replacement of all
components of outboard motors,
stern drive motors; as well as the
maintenance and repair practices
of seasonal marine work. Partici-
pants also receive a work ethics
certifcation and boating educa-
tion certifcation provided by the
Ohio Department of Natural Re-
sources, Watercraft Division.
It designed as an open entry and
open exit hands-on program that
allows participants to master the
skills of the marine trade in less
than six months. The participant
who completes the requirements
of this program can work at any
marina around the nation.

roll in this program, call George

As an investor, what are your goals? You can probably
think of quite a few — but over the course of your life-
time, your objectives typically will fall into fve key cat-
egories. And once you’re familiar with these areas, you can
start thinking of what they’ll mean to you in terms of your
fnancial and investment strategies.
So, let’s take a look at each of these areas and see what
they might entail for you:
• Preparing for retirement — With advances in health
care and a greater awareness of healthy living practices,
many of us can expect to live two or three decades in an
active retirement. To pay for all those years, you’ll need
to save and invest early and often. So, while you’re work-
ing, take full advantage of your 401(k) or other employer-
sponsored retirement plan, as well as contribute to a tra-
ditional or Roth IRA. After understanding your desired
retirement lifestyle, your fnancial advisor can help you
determine how, and how much, to save to provide for
your income in retirement.
• Planning for the unexpected — You can’t see into the
future, so you’ll need to prepare for anything that comes
your way. By building an emergency fund containing six
to 12 months’ worth of living expenses, you can possibly
avoid dipping into your long-term investments to pay for
things such as a new furnace or a major car repair. And
planning for the unexpected also means having suffcient
life insurance to provide for your family in case anything
happens to you.
• Educating your children — College is already expensive
— and college expenses have been rising faster than the
overall rate of infation. If you want to help your children,
or grandchildren, pay for school, you may want to invest
in a college savings vehicle, such as the 529 plan. You can
contribute large amounts to a 529 plan, and earnings have
the opportunity to grow tax-free, provided withdrawals
are used for higher education. (Withdrawals not used for
education are subject to income taxes and a 10 percent
penalty.)
• Living in retirement — Once you reach retirement,
your investment emphasis will shift somewhat, from accu-
mulating resources to making them last. By working with
a fnancial advisor, you can develop a withdrawal strategy
that can help make sure you don’t outlive the income you
receive from your 401(k), IRA and other sources. At the
same time, given the possible length of your retirement,
you can’t ignore the need to invest for growth, so you may
need to consider some growth-oriented vehicles in your
portfolio to help your income keep pace with infation.
• Transferring your wealth — When you’ve worked hard
your whole life, you want to be able to leave a legacy —
one that allows you to provide fnancial resources to the
next generation and to those charitable organizations you
may wish to support. So, when it’s time to think about
transferring your wealth, you’ll want to consult with your
fnancial and legal advisors to create an estate plan that’s
appropriate for your needs. And because these plans can
take signifcant time to create, you won’t want to wait too
long to start.
So, there you have them: fve key fnancial areas on
which to focus as you travel through life. By doing your
homework, planning ahead and getting the help you need,
you can make the journey a pleasant and productive one.
