Anglers Birding tradition lives on take over the lake
INTERNATIONAL MIGRATORY BIRD DAY
The warm winter of 2012 had Lake Erie about a month ahead of where it normally would have been in March for walleye habitat and spawning. So FLW Walleye Tour anglers competing May 10-12 on Lake Erie may not see some of the spectacular weights seen in past years. Jeff Graves of Chagrin Falls, won the 2011 event with more than 117 pounds. It is predicted that the winning weight will be right around the century mark — still nothing to sneeze about and one of the reasons anglers look forward to this stop on the FLW Walleye Tour year after year. Hosted by the City of Port Clinton and Lake Erie Shores and Islands, the tournament features as many as 150 of the world’s best walleye anglers in each of the pro and co-angler divisions. They are casting for top awards up to $63,000 in the Pro Division and $10,500 in the Co-angler Division. According to FLW Walleye pro Joe Whitten of Toledo, Ohio, current water temperatures are right around 53 degrees. These earlier-than-normal temps have moved the walleye out of their traditional holding spots for this time of year and have spread the fish all the way from Toledo to Cleveland. “The fish are all spawned out,” said Whitten, who is coming off a seventh-place finish at the 2012 FLW Walleye Tour event on the Mississippi River last week. “This tournament is going to be different than we have seen in any other year. Anglers are going to have to learn the lake all over again.” Anglers will take off from the Nor’Easter Club at 6:30 each morning. Thursday’s and Friday’s weigh-ins will be held at 3 p.m. in Waterworks Park. Saturday’s final weigh-in will be at 4 p.m. at Walmart. Fans will be treated to the FLW Expo at Walmart from noon to 4 p.m. Saturday. The Expo includes the opportunity to interact with professional anglers, a trout pond and interactive games and activities.

12-hour Big Sit set for Saturday
Tom Bartlett’s not waiting for Hollywood to come calling. His Big Sit is not as visually-stunning or as dramatic as the birding quest that led to the movie, “The Big Year,” starring Steve Martin, Jack Black and Owen Wilson. The film chronicled the competition of three birders attempting to break the record of 721 birds seen in a single year. The movie was based on the adventures of Greg Miller, a computer consultant from Canton, Ohio, who spent an estimated $31,000 chasing the record. Bartlett chases nothing. He sits on a ladder or camp chair within a 17-foot circle. Bartlett has conducted a 12-hour Big Sit on International Migratory Bird Day for 17 years at the west end of the Magee Marsh Boardwalk. So, what can you see restricted to a small circle, a 5-foot ladder topped with a hunter’s chair that swivels 360 degrees, a pair of binoculars, a 20x60 telescope and a MP3 player loaded with bird calls? Well, plenty. Bartlett saw a high of 112 species in 2005, 96 last year and a total of 181 species since 1995. Rare sightings for Northwest Ohio include a Summer Tanager, a Chuck-will’s widow and a Laughing Gull.

RECORDS
BIRDING from 1A
Bird watching, like golf, is a pursuit known for its honor code. If you’re compiling a life list, for example, you can’t count birds in a zoo or sanctuary or birds you can’t positively identify. Bartlett recalls one such disappointment regarding a warbler during a Big Sit. “This Cerulean Warbler was sitting around the corner and I never could see it. People would walk 30 feet from me and see it preening in the tree and feeding in the tree, but because of all the vegetation I couldn’t see through it to see it on the other side. At the end of the day, I walked around the corner and there was the bird sitting there. But, I couldn’t count it because I didn’t see it during the time period.” Serious stuff, this bird watching. While Bartlett can’t leave his 17-foot circle to count a bird, that doesn’t mean he can’t call the birds to him. He does this with his MP3 Player loaded with calls for such birds as the Great Horned Owl and the Screech Owl. The most effective time to call is just before dawn so Bartlett arrives at Magee Marsh shortly before 5 a.m. Bartlett’s Big Sit has become a big event annually for the Black Swamp Bird Observatory. He pledges $1 per species and those who join him make their own pledges. Kim Kaufman, executive director of BSBO, says these birders have contributed some $32,000 to support birding activities, including the Young Birders Club. Last year, Bartlett was joined by about 20 other birders, six of whom stayed the entire 12 hours. Bartlett’s love of birding arose from his inability to decide a career path when he moved from New Jersey to attend Heidelberg College in Tiffin, where he still lives. He would eventually graduate with four

majors — religion, psychology, biology and American studies — but it was taking an ornithology class on a whim that hooked him to avian life. Since then, the retired science teacher has become a licensed bander, one of only 50 in Ohio. As a master bander, he is certified to teach banding. He is also a research associate in the Division of Ornithology at the Cleveland Museum of Natural History. Bartlett first volunteered as a trail guide for BSBO in 1995. What he discovered was that birders on the trail didn’t need him, so he settled in on the Big Sit. You can join him on May 12 just for fun, or to learn more about birds. He’s not shy and he’s willing to share his knowledge and his stories, but just don’t ask him to leave his 17-foot circle. By the way, no reservations needed. If you wish to help the Young Birders Club, go to bsbo.org and download a pledge form.

next door to GSE Jewelers. That allowed Bassett to expand his hardware floor space from 10,500 square feet to 15,000. So, what has this accomplished? One of Bassett’s Do-itBest customers said it best. “Now we don’t have to go to Sandusky anymore.” At nearly $4 per gallon for gasoline, that could mean significant savings for Bassett’s customers. “Our customer survey told us that they wanted more items, so we added them,” said Bassett, whose family has been in business in Ottawa County since 1898. The expansion has allowed them to add more than 8,000 new items. They now claim the largest inventory of stainless steel items, nuts, bolts, fittings and nails, etc., in northwest Ohio. They have expanded their plumbing inventory and have a wide variety of furnace filters, house wares and seasonal items such as fans and other warm weather helpers. One of the new services being provided is a special keymaking department that includes the technology to make replacement remote entry keys for most cars and truck. They have also worked to expand their ability to take care of the building trades’ side of the business. Bassett’s parking lot will be the site for Rally for the Kids on Saturday, May 19.

Local Coast Guard unit jumps into action
A Port Clinton-based Coast Guard port security unit assisted four mariners in distress while conducting training on San Diego Bay, April 6. “This is an example of the multimission capabilities of the Port Security Units,” said Cmdr. Gerald A. Nauert, Port Security Unit 309’s commanding officer. “Our primary mission is to provide security to sensitive ports and vessels, but our training also enables us to provide humanitarian assistance to the public. It’s a perfect example of our members living up to our unit motto, Facta Non Verba — Deeds Not Words.” During the first incident, an under way PSU 309 boat crew observed a distress signal from three passengers aboard a nearby vessel. Their powerless vessel was caught in the current and was being pushed toward the shore. The Coast Guard crew pulled alongside to provide assistance. After the vessel’s engine would not restart, they safely towed the civilian crew and their vessel to its homeport. Later that same day, another PSU 309 boat crew was under way when Sector San Diego requested they assist a kayaker, who had washed onto rocks near the mouth of San Diego Bay. The crew made contact with the elderly male, brought him aboard and provided first aid before transferring him to a San Diego Harbor Police vessel to receive further emergency medical care. PSU 309 was conducting joint training on San Diego Bay with U.S. Navy Maritime Expeditionary Security Squadron Three in preparation for overseas deployment. Established May 1995 as a Coast Guard Reserve unit, PSU 309 provides security and protects personnel and facilities from terrorism, sabotage, espionage, subversion and attack. The unit has a proud operational heritage, including missions in support of Operations’ Enduring Freedom, Iraqi Freedom, Desert Storm, Noble Eagle and Uphold Democracy. PSUs are a component of the Coast Guard’s Deployable Operations Group. The DOG provides properly equipped, trained, and organized Deployable Specialized Forces to Coast Guard, Department of Homeland Security, Department of Defense and interagency operational and tactical commanders.

Division of Wildlife clarifies guidelines for anglers
The Ohio Department of Natural Resources, Division of Wildlife, has issued a statewide directive to its enforcement officers to clarify guidelines for enforcing a new rule that specifies the condition of fish fillets being kept or transported. “Many Ohio anglers have expressed that they were confused about the fillet rule so I asked our Division of Wildlife to clarify the rule so no innocent angler stands a chance of getting in to trouble when they are trying to follow the law,” said ODNR Director James Zehringer. The rule, Ohio Administrative Code 1501:31-13-08, states that it is unlawful to possess or transport a fish unless the fish is in the round or a complete fillet with skin attached until a person reaches their permanent residence. The confusion surrounding the question of whether the skin had to be kept on the entire fillet or whether a patch of skin to identify the fish species would suffice. Many Lake Erie anglers come to the lake for a few days or a week to sample the world-class fishery, and anglers may be bringing home several days’ limits of the various species. After a thorough review, a directive recently sent to wildlife officers from Scott Zody, chief of the Division of Wildlife, specified that the rule should be interpreted to mean that only a patch of skin, enough to identify the species of the fish is required to be left on the fillet. Changes will be made this fall during the regular rule-making package to further clarify the requirement in code. The rule is designed as a tool to protect the valuable Lake Erie fishing resource and to allow wildlife officers to identify fillets in an angler’s possession. “Our goal was to protect the state’s most valuable fishery,” said Zody. “It was not our intent to create a hardship for anglers, who bring a tremendous economic benefit to the state.” ODNR ensures a balance between wise use and protection of our natural resources for the benefit of all.

Magruder Hospital Edgewood Manor: excellent satisfaction brings urology services to community survey results
The Ohio Department of Health released the results of the skilled nursing facility resident satisfaction survey conducted this past winter. Edgewood Manor scored a 91 on the survey, while the State average was only 87.1. The current results demonstrate a continuing upward trend for resident satisfaction both at Edgewood Manor and other facilities in Ohio. The residents were asked specific questions that rated their satisfaction regarding the facility’s environment, activities, administration, direct care/nursing assistants, laundry, meals, dining, social services and therapy, as well as general satisfaction. The number of residents interviewed and which residents are interviewed are determined by the Ohio Department of Health. Edgewood Manor Executive Director, Lori Lieb-Opfer is extremely pleased with the results. “I am very happy with the results of this survey for many reasons. Most importantly, with the broad scope of questions asked, this is an accomplishment of our entire team. It does not just reflect one department, but everyone working together to provide great care for our residents, and it shows,” she said. The facility also conducts its own satisfaction surveys to residents upon returning to the community. According to facility statistics, the average score is 98 percent satisfaction. To learn more about Edgewood Manor or take a tour of the facility, call Carrie McGlothlin, Edgewood’s marketing director, at 419-734-5506, or stop by the facility located at 1330 S. Fulton St., Port Clinton. Dr. Dino Santacroce, a urologist with the RoMIUS Institute of Northwest Ohio, has recently joined the Magruder Hospital Medical Staff, specializing in adult urology. According to Mike Long, president and CEO of Magruder, Sanatcroce is adding a much-needed service to the commugroup of physicians at the RoMIUS Institute, the decision to move forward was unanimous. “We really think the community will be happy with these doctors. Dr. Santacroce will be the primary urologist seeing patients here at Magruder a couple of days a week,” said Long. Santacroce completed his undergraduate degree at The Ohio State University. He then went on to graduate from the University of Toledo Medical Center after completing his residency in Urologic Surgery. During his medical studies, he earned the Edward F.

riod, Trick was teamed with another registered nurse and will eventually undertake the home visits by herself, Kokinda explained. Trick and her husband, Craig, TRICK have four children: Nicole, Shelby, Corban and Alexis. Her favorite pastime is leisure boating on Lake Erie.

Magruder Auxiliary to host breakfast
The Magruder Hospital Auxiliary will host a free breakfast program to welcome the newest Auxilians, as well as guests and interested members, at 9 a.m. Monday, May 21. Currently the Auxiliary has more than 250 members and the volunteers donate approximately 11,000 hours of service to the hospital each year. Come learn about the Auxiliary and what it does for the hospital and the community. Auxiliary members help with two major fundraisers for the hospital: the Charity Ball and the Auxiliary Golf Classic. They also provide healthcare scholarships to local students, host A Day For Me, the annual women’s health seminar, help with hospital book fairs and uniform sales and volunteer in a variety of capacities throughout the hospital. No matter the level of interest or experience, the Auxiliary has something to offer everyone. Those interested are asked to RSVP by Thursday, May 17, to Kathy Gallogly at 419-734-3131, ext. 3140.

The Book Exchange under new management
The Book Exchange, downtown Port Clinton, is under new management. New owner Michael Fitzgerald — a long-time supporter and employee in the Port Clinton community — said he is excited and anxious for a fresh start for the store. He was previously involved as a partner in the business and has now taken over all responsibility of the store. Fitzgerald contemplated closing the store, but the outpour of support from the fellow downtown merchants and previous customers spoke volumes that they wanted the store to remain a piece of downtown Port Clinton. “My primary focus is customer service,” Fitzgerald said. “I want everyone to feel comfortable in my store and I want them to have a good experience. I plan to bring back the readers’ groups and writers’ groups we once facilitated for the community.” With technology playing such an increasing role in reading books, Fitgerald added: “I hope to not only grow the physical store but also online sales, which are available on our website and the e-reader market. “ The Book Exchange is located at 136 Madison St., Port Clinton. The new store phone number is 419-734-4590 and the store is open seven days a week: 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday.

If you’re a mother, you’ll probably get some nice cards and flowers on Mother’s Day. But of course, your greatest gifts are your children themselves. And since you want to see them happy and financially secure, perhaps you can use this Mother’s Day as an opportunity to consider ways to help your children at various stages of their lives. So, let’s take a look at steps you can take:

Skills for Life Marine Trades Think long-term program cited for economic on Mother’s Day development efforts
Officials from Ohio University and the Ohio Association of Community Action Agencies will visit the area on May 17 to unveil a report that cites the Skills for Life Marine Trades program as a contributor to the area’s economic development efforts. The group chose to release the report in May in recognition of Community Action Month across the nation. The report will be released during a presentation that begins at 11 a.m. on May 17 at the Ottawa County Resource Center, 8043 W. Ohio 163, Oak Harbor. “Ohio University’s research study proved the significant contribution CAAs make to a community’s economic development,” said Philip E. Cole, executive director of OACAA. “WSOS’ Marine Mechanics program is an excellent example of Community Action’s achievements. The program helps people attain stable careers and meets the training needs of the local business community.” Titled “Community Action Agencies: Strengthening Ohio’s Communities,” the report was conducted by the Voinovich School of Leadership and Public Affairs at Ohio University. The purpose of the report was to determine the impact that community action agencies have on the economic development of the communities they serve. Until 2001, Ohio lacked a training program to create a pool of qualified marine mechanics necessary to serve Ohio’s 400,000 registered boats. Partnering with the Ottawa County Improvement Corp., Penta Adult Career Center and area marine businesses, WSOS filled this local labor gap by creating a sector-based Marine Trades Training program that attracts students from across the country. Data from the study revealed that, to date, the program has trained more than 130 individuals, and of that number, 71 percent have secured employment. Not only does this program serve existing businesses, it has also attracted new ones to the Ohio area. In 2002, Volvo Penta of the Americas moved its training facility from Chicago to Oak Harbor in order to capitalize on this emerging labor pool. “We are proud of the success of the Marine Mechanics course and continue to add advanced classes to enhance program graduates’ skills,” said WSOS President/CEO Neil McCabe. This program provides participants with program instruction and hands-on training in the proper use of all tools used in the marine mechanic industry; diagnosis, repair and replacement of all components of outboard motors, stern drive motors; as well as the maintenance and repair practices of seasonal marine work. Participants also receive a boating safety certification from the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary and an Ohio boating law certification provided by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, 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. For information on how to enroll in this program, call George Dupey at 419-334-3332.

Financial Focus

WHEN YOUR KIDS ARE YOUNG • Teach them to be savers — Encourage young children to put away part of their allowance, or any money GARY COON they receive for household jobs, in a savings account. Offer to match their contributions dollar for dollar. • Help them become investors — Consider giving your children a few shares of stock in companies with which they are familiar. By following the movements of their stocks with them, you can explain how the markets work and how increasing share ownership is one key to helping build wealth. • Contribute to a college savings plan — One of the best things you can do to boost your children’s chances of success in life is to help them go to college. You’ve got several good college-savings vehicles available, such as a 529 plans, Coverdell Education Savings Accounts and custodial accounts. Your financial advisor can help you choose the vehicle that suits your needs and objectives. WHEN YOUR CHILDREN ENTER THE WORKFORCE ª Encourage IRA contributions — An Individual Retirement Account (IRA) is a great retirement savings vehicle. As long as your children have earned income, they can contribute to an IRA, so you may want to help them “max out” on their contributions each year. While you can’t directly contribute to a child’s IRA, you can write a check to your child and encourage him or her to use it for funding an IRA. • Make long-term care arrangements — If you needed long-term care, such as an extended nursing home stay, and you had inadequate financial preparations, the burden could fall on your children. Now is the time to consult with your financial advisor to begin preparing for possible long-term care costs. WHEN YOUR CHILDREN REACH MIDDLE AGE • Communicate your financial situation and estate plans — Don’t leave adult children in the dark as to your financial information. Share everything you can about how much you own, where you keep your assets and how you plan to eventually distribute them. By clearly communicating your situation and wishes now, you can avoid major problems later. • Create a durable power of attorney — By creating a durable power of attorney, you can appoint another person, such as an adult child, to conduct your business and financial affairs if you become physically or mentally incapacitated. Such a move can help reduce stress your children may be feeling, while allowing them to make moves that can help preserve your finances. Mother’s Day commemorates the special bond that mothers have with their children. By following the above suggestions, you can help strengthen that bond throughout your lifetime.

PC City Schools announces Flagship winners
The Flagship Awards are part of Port Clinton City School District’s recognition program to honor parents, community members, staff and students that help the district fulfill its motto of “Proudly Charting a Course for Success.” At the April 23 meeting, the Port Clinton Board of Education recognized the following with Flagship Awards: • 2011-12 Port Clinton High School Leadership Council, Crew Award (Community) The Port Clinton High School Leadership Council, including advisors Scott Cross and Mike Spencer, have done a phenomenal job this year of promoting positive character traits throughout the high school. Each year, they are instrumental to the success of so many activities at PCHS including Frosh Fest to welcome incoming students, Homecoming Parade and spirit events, staff recognition in May and much more. This year, after the Rachel’s Challenge assembly, the group was so moved by the assembly, they pledged to do more to promote a positive atmosphere. Leadership Council members have dedicated countless hours of their own time in a variety of ways including painting positive messages on the pillars and wall in the hallways. They have given students the chance to build lasting connections by placing their hand print under the theme “these hands will touch many lives.” The students also read to Bataan Memorial students a few days each week to help our youngest students develop and grow as well as give them positive role models to emulate. This energetic group has positively impacted the lives of countless students and created a positive environment at PCHS. The Port Clinton Board of Education honored their leadership with a Flagship Crew Award. Leadership Council Members: President — Sydney Smith; Vice President — Emaleigh Dunn; Secretary — Christian Cash; Treasurer — Cheyenne Meek; Historian — Katelyn Zam; seniors Eric Brahier, Natalie Eyink, Kelly Friemark, Raegen Frye, Brooke Kelly, Michael Long, Brenna Peterson, Amber Peto, Clayton White, Emily Ochs and Marcie Lindslay; juniors Sydney Adkins, Cory Colston, Brody Dunn, Trey Gluth, Jessica Johnson, Laura Masimore, Sam Miller, Katie Schroeder and Cody Smith; sophomores Zach Baugh, Tiffany Colston, Noah Cross, Ian Kyle, Jake Prosser, Amber Wuersig, Joey Zam and Elise Zeitzheim; and freshmen Ty Gallogly, Kathryn Mueller, Gabe Defreitas, Shane Meek, Andrew Cline, Allie Schroeder, Mackenzie Stine and Hannah Weaver. • Diane Zam, First Mate Award (Parents) While it is true that Zam is an outstanding teacher at Port Clinton Middle School, she is also an outstanding mother of two Port Clinton City School District Students, Katelyn and Joey. Zam is the mom that you see everywhere: Members of the Port Clinton High School Leadership Council accept their Flagship Crew Award timing at swim from the Port Clinton Board of Education. meets and helping at track meets, team feeds and much more. She supports all her children’s activities and in doing so benefits other students in our district as well. Zam is always willing to help whether it be serving on a committee or taking on special tasks both as a teacher during school or a parent after school. She is caring, energetic and a true friend to the Port Clinton City Schools and all of their students. Zam was presented with the Flagship First Mate Award to thank her for helping all students to Proudly Chart a Course for Success! • Dawn Courtright, Captain Award (Staff) Committed, dedicated, hard-working, going above and beyond, these are all descriptions that can be used to describe Courtright. She has served the school district in many capacities, most recently taking on the positions of maintaining grounds and athletic fields. She picked up right where retired Bob Britt left off and has taken pride and ownership in her work. Another descriptive word used for this past fall is “wet,” which made preparing athletic fields for soccer, football, band practice and much more challenging to say the least. With reduced places for kids to practice due to construction and extreme weather conditions, Dawn took on the Patrick Adkins, Superintendent of Schools (left) and Paul Shaw (right), Port Clinton Board of Education; with Flagship Award Recipients Diane Zam and Dawn Courtright. added challenge with gusto and provided our students with the proper grounds to practice or play. The Board of Education appreciates all Courtright does for the school district and its students as well as her outstanding work ethic. For her commitment and dedication, Courtright was presented with a Flagship Captain Award.

Billboard winners
Ottawa, Sandusky and Seneca County fifth grade students had the opportunity to participate in the OSS Solid Waste Billboard Contest earlier this spring. The contest is run annually and the billboards are posted throughout the month of April in Celebration of Earth Day. Students are encouraged to create a design with a recycling or litter prevention theme. OSS district staff selects three winners from each county displaying artwork on billboards within their respective counties. Winning designs include the following students and their school: Ben Strnad — Danbury Middle School, Kalee Rakosky — Danbury Middle School, Izzy Cuevas — Genoa Middlel School. All of the winners and their schools received a replica mini billboard featuring their artwork. Students also received a T-shirt with their winning entry and an eco-friendly fleece sweatshirt made form recycled soda bottles. Brad Schwan was at Danbury Schools April 19 for the Awards Assembly to make the presentations. He also took the opportunity to talk and involve the students in making their classrooms a “Green Classroom.” The winning designs can be viewed on the OSS website at www.recycleoss.org or on the billboards throughout the county.

WINDOWS TO THE PAST
Many at Port Clinton schools are asking, “What happened to the Middle School windows?” Over Spring break, some of the windows were removed and will be installed to the interior of the new middle school for a “windows to the past” display in one of the main hallways.

Rocket soft ball team advances to sectional
BY YANEEK SMITH After struggling to a 6-16 record in the regular season, the Oak Harbor softball team broke out Saturday, defeating Rossford, 13-3, in six innings in a Division II Sectional Semifinal at Clyde High School. The Rockets got on the board with three runs in the first and built the lead to 6-0 before the Lady Bulldogs responded with three runs in the bottom of the fourth to cut the lead in half. Oak Harbor, however, responded, scoring three runs in the top of the fifth and four more in the sixth to run-rule Rossford. Cleanup hitter Justine Webb went 3-for3 with a home run and a double, driving in two runs and scoring three times. Allison Dunn also went 3-for-3 with a triple and two RBIs. Sam Durivage got the win, allowing three runs on three hits in six innings of work. The Rockets now face Perkins in the sectional final. Should they defeat the Lady Pirates, Oak Harbor will likely face topseeded Shelby. ST. JOSEPH CC 12 — OAK HARBOR 11 After rallying to cut the deficit to one run in the bottom of the seventh, Oak Harbor fell just short in its non-conference matchup with St. Joseph CC, falling to the Crimson Streaks, 12-11. Despite falling behind, 11-2, the Rockets rallied and cut the deficit to 12-11 in the seventh after Allison Dunn hit a two-out, bases-loaded triple to right field. However, she was stranded at third when the next batter grounded out to second to end the game. Oak Harbor took a 2-0 lead after the first inning only to see St. Joe respond with nine runs in the top of the second. The Streaks sent 12 hitters to plate and got four RBIs, including a three-run home run from senior Katie Stroup. Be Reardon got the win for St. Joe CC, allowing 11 runs (seven earned) on 14 hits in seven innings of work. Theresa Stokes took the loss for the Rockets, allowing 12 runs (four earned) on 16 hits in seven innings.

BASEBALL
After having two regular-season games postponed due to rain, the Oak Harbor baseball team will face Huron in a Division IV Sectional Final at Bellevue High School. The Rockets, who defeated Huron, 12-4, earlier in the season, are looking to make a second consecutive run through the postseason. Last year, Oak Harbor won five games before falling in the Division II Regional Final to Parma Heights Holy Name, 9-4.

Danbury baseball team drops sectional game
BY YANEEK SMITH The Danbury baseball team fell, 4-1, to Toledo Christian in a Division II Sectional Semifinal matchup Saturday at Ottawa Hills High School. The Eagles jumped out to a 4-0 lead, scoring single runs in the second and third innings before scoring twice in the fourth inning. The Lakers responded with one run in the bottom-half, but got no closer. TC was led by Brett Freeman, who was 2-for-3 with two doubles and an RBI. Cory Miller got the win on the mound, allowing run on seven hits in seven innings of work. Cory Schenk, who’s pitched magnificently for Danbury this season, took the loss. Danbury is now 8-11 on the season. DANBURY 6 — NORTHWOOD 5 (8 INN.) After trailing, 5-3, in the bottom of the seventh, the Lakers rallied with two runs to send the game into extra innings before scoring a run in the eighth to defeat Northwood, 6-5, in eight innings. Lucas Kennedy scored on a wild pitch in the eighth inning to give Danbury the victory. The Lakers tied it in the previous inning when John Bunce hit an RBI single and Dalton Chapman, who reached on a double, scored on a passed ball to tie the game. Brandon Burke got the win in relief, allowing one run in 3.1 innings of work. GIBSONBURG 3 — DANBURY 1 The Lakers fell to Gibsonburg, 3-1, in Toledo Area Athletic Conference (TAAC) action last week. Cory Schenk pitched a fine game, allowing three runs (two earned) on five hits in five innings of work. He struck out three batters and walked three. Sam Kohler hit a two-run homer in the third inning and Billy VanDerLaar scored in the fifth. Schenk scored Danbury’s lone run in the bottom-half, reaching on a single before stealing two bases and scoring on an error. Gibsonburg improved to 16-5 on the season with the victory.

SOFTBALL
The Danbury softball ended its season with a loss in a Division IV Sectional Final, losing, 30-0, to Cardinal Stritch.
