More infrastructure work is be-
ing done in Port Clinton. Water-
line replacement work on Maple
Street started on Monday. Ed
Burdue is the subcontractor for
this work. Due to the age of the
water-main infrastructure in the
area, it is possible for sudden
water loss due to depressuriza-
tion of the water mains as crews
connect existing lines to the new
water mains being installed. The
City may have to issue boil water
advisories to the homes and busi-
nesses affected. They will be lifted
as soon as testing results allow.
Questions can be directed to City
Hall at 419-734-5522.

There are a few ladies of our
area I call Mom, and Lillian
Hanes was one of them. Thats
because she was Nadine and Ani-
tas mom (Nadine Hanes Jensen
was a classmate and former staff-
er at The Beacon) and because
she was such an incredibly sweet
lady. She was a long and faithful
member of Faith United Meth-
odist Church in Port Clinton and
used to head up the 4th Friday
lunches at the Church. She made
sure that they got a blurb in Tell-
tales. She will be missed.

Congratulations to Luke Cra-
mer, the 22nd Oak Harbor High
School wrestler to win a state
championship. Luke jumped
from the 138 lb. weigh class to
170 lbs. this year, but just got
stronger and stronger as the sea-
son wore on. He won both of his
frst round matches to qualify
for the semi-fnals. He defeated
a wrestler from St. Paris Graham,
perhaps Ohios most dominant
wrestling program, in the semi-
fnals by a 6-1 count and then
won his fnals match 16-4. Oak
Harbor fnished 7th overall as a
team in Division II. So congratu-
lations to George Bergman and
his staff at Oak Harbor on an-
other fne season.
nnn
Also congratulations to Toby
Bickel and his staff along with
the players of the 2012-13 Port
Clinton Lady Redskin basketball
team. They fell to state ranked
Toledo Rogers last Saturday, but
had a heckuva season. They were
the frst PCHS girls basketball
team to win over 20 games in a
season. Unfortunately, they are in
the same conference with anoth-
er state ranked team, the Clyde
Lady Fliers, who moved on to
the Regionals. Welcome to March
Madness!
nnn
Your prayers are requested for
a couple of local folks who have
made a big impact on our com-
munity. Former Port Clinton
Mayor Tom Brown has had some
serious heart issues recently,
but is up and around. We spoke
briefy on Monday evening and
he told me his issues are probably
not over. Also, Dave Audiano, a
Past Commodore of Port Clin-
ton Yacht Club, is a real fghter,
according to Lock Zeis. He was
moved to Hospice of Northwest
Ohio last Friday, but is starting to
respond to treatments.
nnn
Speaking of prayers, Devin
Kohlman, the Port Clinton Mid-
dle School Student diagnosed
with metatistatic medulloblas-
toma, an aggressive form of brain
cancer, underwent another sur-
gery last Friday, his third. He has
been through radiation therapy
and chemotherapy and is started
a second regime of chemothera-
py. A beneft is being planned for
Wednesday, March 27 from 6-9
p.m. at Rosies Bar and Grill lo-
cated at the Old Island House at
the corner of Second and Madi-
son Streets in downtown Port
Clinton. There will be entertain-
ment by Corduroy Road, food
and refreshments will be served.
They are asking a donation of
$20 per person with 100% of the
proceeds going to Devin and his
mother.
nnn
On a cheerier note, congratu-
lations Ottawa County! You did
it! Tom Bohlander $7,500 com-
munity challenge was met, and
then some. United Way of Ot-
tawa County raised over $9,500
to match Toms challenge when
the campaign fell $15,000 short
this year.

Tell Tales
By JOHN SCHAFFNER
March madness, sadness and gladness
BY DONNA LUEKE
Most lighthouses dont move around
much, but Port Clintons little lighthouse
is looking for a new home. The four-sided
pyramidical wooden structure was erected
in 1896 at the mouth of the Portage River
and was relocated to its current home on
the Brands Marina property 60 years ago.
In 2011, Darrell Brand initiated discus-
sions on transferring ownership to the city
of Port Clinton. That year the Port Clin-
ton Lighthouse Conservancy (the PCLC),
a non-proft group, was formed by a group
of local citizens interested in restoring the
lighthouse and helping it fnd a new home.
The group of volunteers, spearheaded by
Rich Norgard, has been working since that
time on restoring and repairing the light-
house. The cupola was removed in 2011 to
an indoor facility at Brands Marina and
has been mostly restored by John Smoth-
ers , Bill Moon and their group of volun-
teers. Tuesday the base of the lighthouse
was lifted and moved to facilitate repairing
and replacing the fooring.
The PCLC has developed a proposal
for the relocation of the lighthouse that
was sent to Port Clinton City Council on
Thursday. According to the proposal, the
potential transfer of the lighthouse to the
city will result in the permanent preser-
vation of a structure with signifcant his-
torical importance and an iconic symbol
of the cityIf implemented quickly, its
effects will be felt as soon as this summer
and will enhance the impact of tourism
generated during the Battle of Lake Erie
Bicentennial festivities. The plan suggests
three possible locations along a lakefront
corridor. Alex Thomas, secretary/treasurer
of the group, emphasizes that the light-
house relocation can be accomplished in-
dependent of other plans for downtown
and waterfront development.
It (the restoration and relocation of
the lighthouse) is not by itself going to be
the salvation of Port Clinton, but can be
something meaningful and striking that is
a piece of the picture, said Thomas.
The goal of the PCLC is to have the light-
house completely restored and in place by
June 21. Once it is in place, the restoration
of the siding and interior would be com-
pleted. The PCLC would implement the
transfer and maintain the lighthouse at no
cost to the city.
There will be a public meeting on
Wednesday, March 13, at 6:30 p.m. at Ida
Rupp Library in Port Clinton. The Port
Clinton Lighthouse Conservancy will
discuss their proposal at that time. For
more information, a copy of the proposal
is posted at Ida Rupp Library or available
from Norgard at nauticalguy@hotmail.

Port Clinton Lighthouse
To the Citizens of Port Clinton:
The Port Clinton Lighthouse Conservancy has present-
ed a detailed proposal to the city council for the transfer
of the old Port Clinton Lighthouse currently being re-
stored at Brands Marina - to the city and its placement
on the waterfront. This proposal represents a unique and
historic opportunity for the city to acquire and preserve
for its citizens a truly iconic city landmark.
Our proposal makes clear that the lighthouse will be a
great asset to the city and its downtown, given the tremen-
dous popularity of these structures and the proliferation
of lighthouse tourism. We also show that the small foot-
print and aesthetic qualities of the lighthouse ensure its
compatibility with any future waterfront development,

The Port Clinton Lighthouse is featured prominent-
ly on the seal of the city, which hangs proudly in the
council chambers, and whose image graces the wel-

be wonderful if the lighthouse once again graced our
waterfront?

Ottawa County
has met the chal-
lenge. On Jan. 28,
Tom Bohlander,
partner in Fair-
way Villas, issued
a challenge to lo-
cal residents and
businesses. He
promised to give
$7500 to United
Way in honor of
his late business
partner Ron Case
if United Way
could raise a matching $7500 by Feb. 28,
2013.
Chris Galvin, Director of United Way
is thrilled to report a total of $9500 has
been raised in response to Mr. Bohland-
ers generous offer. According to Galvin,
Local media, businesses, and individu-
als stepped up and put United Way over
the top.
Thanks to the
generosity of nu-
merous support-
ers this will mean
United Way can
continue invest-
ing in programs
and initiatives
that advance the
common good in
the areas of Edu-
cation, Income
and Health.
This is a heart-
felt tribute to a friend who loved Ottawa
County and found value in the programs
necessary to continue to sustain the
programs so important to our Ottawa
County communities, said Galvin.

trees to be planted in Newtown, CTt. Over $1,300 was
raised that evening with the assistance of the commu-
nity, local stores and restaurants, the sale of spaghetti
dinners donated by Kostal and the sale of tickets for do-
nated raffe items. To date, the total raised for the project
is just over $2,600 with another $400 pledged by Lori
Fletcher and Patty Pepa from the upcoming 9th Annual
Marblehead Bank 5K Daisy Run to be held on May 9.
The pledge will be used toward the purchase of a me-
morial sign to accompany the trees. Fletcher and Pepa,
both Assistant Vice-Presidents at the Bank, organize the
yearly run with all proceeds going to area charitable or-
ganizations.
Danbury Township Trustee Dianne Rozak, coordina-
tor of the 26 Trees project, stated, With just over $3,000
in the bank account and
pledged we are nearing our
goal to purchase 26 ever-
green trees for Newtown,
a next-door neighbor to
Danbury, CT, for whom
our township is named.
We would like to raise an-
other $500 to cover all of
the expenses for the tree
purchase and planting.
Donations will continue
to be accepted until mid-
March at both locations of the Marblehead Bank, at
the Danbury Township Police Station and at Danbury
Township Hall where a 24-hour drop-box is available
outside of the zoning offce. Checks should be made
payable to the Newtown Community Fund. Questions
can be directed to Rozak at (419) 798-4071 or visit the
townships website at www.danburytownship.com for
further information. In the event donations exceed the
amount needed for the tree purchase they will be do-
nated to a fund established in Newtown for the victims
of the Sandy Hook tragedy.

One loop of the walking trail at Magee
Marsh Wildlife Area has been closed to
protect a bald eagle nest, according to
the Ohio Department of Natural Re-
sources (ODNR), Division of Wildlife.
A pair of bald eagles has built a nest
behind the Sportsmens Migratory Bird
Center at Magee Marsh Wildlife Area.
The trail will be closed
until further notice in
order to eliminate hu-
man activity near the
nest and provide the
birds with a better
chance of nesting suc-
cess. There will be signs
and barricades posted at
the trailheads. The other
loop of the walking trail
will remain open from
the bird center to the
observation blind.
Currently there is an
eagle nest at Magee
Marsh near Turtle Creek
and several years ago
another pair attempted
to nest at Magee near
the boardwalk but was
unsuccessful. Bald eagle
eggs take a little over a
month to hatch, and this
pair at the bird center
has not laid eggs yet. The
nest will be monitored
to determine when the
walking trail will be re-
opened for the public.
During the winter the
Sportsmens Migra-
tory Bird Center is open
Monday through Friday
from 8 a.m. until 4:30
p.m. The trails are open
during daylight hours.

4R Tomorrow
Since 1952, the Ottawa Soil and Water Conservation District
has worked to assist local communities in the
stewardship of Ohios water, soil and other natural
resources. As algae blooms and nutrient management
issues in several Ohio lakes intensify, the Ohio Federation of
Soil and Water Conservation Districts (OFSWCD) and the
Ottawa Soil and Water Conservation District have launched
the 4R Tomorrow program to encourage and engage all
Ohioans in protecting and improving water quality.

Farmers and non-farmers are joining the 4R Tomorrow Team by resolving to reduce
the amount of phosphorus and nitrogen that is applied to their fields and yards in an
effort to reduce potential runoff and erosion that may negatively impact Ohios water
quality. For farmers, this means implementing the 4R principles (the four rights in
nutrient stewardship)the right fertilizer source, right rate, right time and right
placement. For non-farmers, this means implementing Backyard Conservation practices.

To learn more about the 4R Tomorrow program and how you can join the 4R
Tomorrow Team, go to www.4RTomorrow.org or contact Ottawa SWCD at 419-898-
1595. Remember, everyone plays a part in improving and protecting Ohios natural
resources.

Lake Erie Cooperative Weed Management Area
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.
The LECWMA was established in 2009 and has completed over 5,000 acres
of invasive species treatment on the properties of nearly 150 program
participants throughout Ottawa, Lucas, Erie, and Sandusky counties.
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. The LECWMA and the Erie, Ottawa, Sandusky
Chapter of Pheasants Forever have successfully completed 318 acres of
phragmites burns. Roughly 300 acres of phragmites has been smashed or
mowed allowing native vegetation to reestablish and providing access for additional herbicide
applications and reseeding

Backyard Conservation
Backyard Conservation is about simple adjustments to lawn care that can help protect our natu-
ral resources. Some modifications to the way you already care for your lawn include: Keeping
hard surfaces such as sidewalks and roadways clear of grass clippings and fertilizer, which
could then go into our waterways. Another great alternative is choosing a lawn fertilizer that is
phosphorus free or very low in phosphorus if a soil test shows it is needed. Also mowing grass
high, this allows for deeper and stronger grass roots which then keep the soil in place, helps
prevent weed germination and youll mow less often. The last tip is to mulch leaf and grass clip-
pings on the lawn because they will return valuable nutrients back to the soil. For more infor-
mation on backyard conservation please call Ottawa Soil and Water Conservation District at
(419) 898-1595.

Catawba Islands Dr. John E. Braun Me-
morial Park was established nearly 50 years
ago when the District American Lutheran
Church purchased 18 acres to establish a
mission church on Catawba Island. Short-
ly after, the present Resurrection Lutheran
Church was established, and the ALC de-
cided to sell the remaining 12 acres of land.
Two of the Lutheran Church members,
Sherman and Doris Titsworth, purchased
the land and deeded it back to the church
with the stipulation that a park be estab-
lished on the land. At that time, Catawba
Island had no place for children to play,
so the church established a separate park
board in 1970 to operate and maintain the
park.
Today the park has many uses available
to the com-
m u n i t y .
There are
three baseball diamonds, soccer felds, bas-
ketball and tennis courts and playground
equipment. There is a shelter house with
electricity and running water that is avail-
able for reunions, picnics and family gath-
erings.
The part operates without township,
county or state funds. The Titsworth Fund
provides funds for basic operations only.
Money for new equipment, major over-
hauls, and new buildings must come from
community donations. There is currently
a need for a new equipment building to
store and maintain park and sports equip-
ment. The cost for the building is $35,000.
For more information about the park,
hours and rentals, or to send tax-deduct-
ible donations, contact Larry Schultz at

schools and business are prepared for
possible severe weather.
Listen to weather alerts and des-
ignate a safe space where people can
gather for the duration of the storm,
said Beth Leggett, Ottawa County Di-
rector, The area should be a basement,
storm cellar or an interior room on the
lowest foor away from windows.

Lake Erie Aquarium and Museum
I would like to share my idea for what i believe is best
for Waterworks Park area in Port Clinton. I am envision-
ing a Lake Aquarium and Museum, where there would
be taxidermy mounts and aquariums of all types of fsh
that are found in Lake Erie to educate people to what lives
in Lake Erie. We could call it Water Works Museum and
Aquarium--Come and see how the Water Works in Lake
Erie.
This would tie beautifully with the Nature Preserve just
down the way and Derby Pond. It could also be used to
inform people about the hazards of what people are doing
to the lake, encouraging people to be mindful of their ac-
tions. It could be like COSI for the family and be all about
our lake with a Wylie Walleye and South Bay Bessie fea-
ture for kids. There could be a fun and entertaining South
Bay Bessie (Lake Erie Monster) exhibit with a huge repre-
sentation of the creature along with the history of sight-
ings that would be a huge hit with children and sparking
peoples imaginations. There could also be a large map
showcasing the sunken ships of Lake Erie.
A special Wylie Walleye exhibit would be a featured des-
tination for kids, where there would be a Lake Erie themed
play-center for little children to crawl all over, like those
they have in malls. There is really nothing for families in
this area. Could you imagine if there one complete center
that a family could go to and enjoy themselves before/after
they go to the islands? They may not even want to go to
the islands after visiting this idea.
Imagine a special spot where fshing tournaments could
set up and have a professional looking setting to have their
awards ceremony for people to participate in and enjoy.
We live right on the Lake but never take advantage of all
the possibilities to showcase why we are so special because
of this lake. Having this we could showcase events possi-
bly by Bass Pro Shops, Ducks Unlimited, ESPN and other
outdoor fshing resources.
An amphitheater would be included also for entertain-
ment and performances. It would be great to include a
roadside attraction, too. Not sure why this trend hasnt
caught on in our down economy. Its popular in books
and on TV. It would be a hit as a landmark in Port Clinton,
an attention catcher.
I believe this is an area where a museum and aquarium
would thrive all year long. This is what I believe would be
the best for Port Clinton. Thank you for your time.

At Danbury Schools pool on Monday evening, the an-
nual two-person Regatta entertained an appreciative
crowd of students, parents, faculty and local residents.
The race is always a popular part of the schools Science
Olympics. The rules for the race state that all watercraft
must be constructed of cardboard and no more than three
rolls of duct tape. The competition was friendly and feisty,
with only one second separating the frst and second place
fnishers. Both the frst and second place teams broke the
previous pool record of 50.2 seconds.
There were 16 teams competing this year. Nearly half
fnished the competition. The participants who had the
misfortune of having their watercraft sink bailed out
safely and with good humor and style.
First place went to
juniors Lindsay Mark
and Erin Lavelle, who
skillfully paddled
their catamaran-style
watercraft the length
of the pool and back
in 45 seconds. Mark
and Lavelle bested
seventh graders Cade
Wilhite and Devon
Grosswilers duct-
tape silver water-
crafts pool record,
set moments earlier,
of 46 seconds. Eighth
graders Sierra Puckett
and Allisa Ritterbach
fnished third in 1
minute 11 seconds.

The Flagship Awards are part of Port Clinton City
School Districts recognition program to honor parents,
community members, staff and students that help the
district fulfll its motto of Proudly Charting a Course
for Success. At their Feb. 18 meeting, the Port Clinton
Board of Education recognized the following individuals
with Flagship Awards.
Nanette Yoh, Crew Award (Community)
Three years ago, a recess reading intervention program
was started at the former Jefferson Elementary School.
Nanette Yoh was one of the frst parent volunteers. She
came in every week during recess for the entire school
year to help students with reading. In 2011-12, Nanette
was back again to help with the program and she was giv-
en additional tasks on the side. When a new coordinator
was needed in 2012, Nanette was on board, assuming the
role even though her children were now in middle school.
Nanette recruits and schedules all the volunteers and
also continues to volunteer herself several times a week.
Her positive attitude and dedication to each students
growth is truly inspiring. Bataan Inter-
mediate is grateful for Nanette Yoh giv-
ing her time and talents to their learning
community. The Port Clinton Board of
Education thanked her for her leader-
ship and commitment to learning with
a Flagship Crew Award.
Carey Clum, Captain (Staff)
Carey Clum started his career at Port
Clinton City School District in 1990.
Ever since, he has been dedicated to
Port Clinton High School Academics
and Athletics. Carey is a Social Studies
Teacher at PCHS and is dedicated to his
students in the classroom, even serving
as an OGT Tutor. He loves the game of
football, serving as the Head Football
Coach from 1990 96. He continued to
coach students as a Middle School Foot-
ball Coach, Assistant Varsity Coach and
Weight Room Supervisor.
As the Athletic Director he has spent
countless hours scheduling games and
practice space, rescheduling games, coordinating that
playing felds and transportation are ready for student
athletes to compete. In addition, he supervises coaches
and works directly with the Port Clinton Athletic Boost-
ers. Carey also coordinates the PCHS Athletic Hall of
Fame selection and annual May induction. The Board of
Education appreciates all the time and effort Mr. Clum
has dedicated to students and athletes over the years. For
his commitment and dedication, he was presented with a
Flagship Captain Award.

tain Award and Board of Education President David Belden.
Port Clinton High
School has announced
that the Student of the
Month for February
2013 is Allison Long.
Allison Long has been
a member of the Redskin
Girls Tennis Team for the
past four years, earning
three varsity letters. This
year she also was named
Co-Captain. Allison has
been involved in Future
Teachers and Key Club. With her interest in teaching,
she is volunteering during her study hall to assist in a
Freshmen English Classroom at PCHS. Allison is also
earning college credits while still in high school by
participating in PCHSs Post Secondary Educational
Options (PSEO) courses through Terra State Com-
munity College.
Allison enjoys dancing and is involved with The
Ballet School, where she is a student teacher and has
taken lessons since kindergarten. Next year Allison
plans to major in Special Education at Eastern Michi-
gan University. She is the daughter of Mike and Barb
Long.
Port Clinton Preschool incorporated a pirate theme
into their lesson plans this week. As they walked the
plank, they were learning how to balance without fall-
ing off the beam. They searched the room for missing
letters of the alphabet. Once found, they identifed each
letter and letter sound and then returned them to the
treasure box. There were plenty of gold coins to count,
and an obstacle on the last day to practice their large
motor skills. All these activities work on building strong
kindergarten readiness skills.
Port Clinton Preschool incorporates Port Clinton City
Schools program from Bataan Elementary School. Jolly
Phonics from the UK and Everyday Math are part of
their curriculum, which helps for an easy transition into
kindergarten. The preschool has been a part of the com-
munity since 1967.
Four Danbury High School students were chosen for the District II choir, band and
orchestra. Left to right are Scott Nave (choir/band director at Danbury) along with
the students that were honored: Gina Moravec (percussion), Jessica Stover (choir),
Caleb Griffn (choir) and Seth Bowser (alto saxophone).

Behind Luke Cramers
frst-place fnish at 170
pounds, the Oak Harbor
Rockets fnished seventh
at the Division II State
Wrestling Meet with 44
points, the sixth time in
seven years that the team
has fnished in the top-10
at the state meet.
Along with Cramers
victory at 170, fellow
senior Jared Chambers
came in ffth at 152 and
sophomore T.J. Lawrence
was eighth in the heavy-
weight division (285).
For the 13th consecu-
tive season Graham won
the state title, fnishing
with 155.5, ahead of Per-
ry (87.5) and Akron St.
Vincent-St. Mary (78.5).
In addition to fnishing
seventh this season, the
Rockets had fnished in the top-fve for fve consecutive
seasons (2007-11), coming in third, second, ffth, second
and third, respectively, during that span.
Cramer, who fnished fourth at 138 last season, was ab-
solutely dominant, winning one of his matches with a pin,
and the other three by a combined score of 34-5. After
defeating Eatons Tyler
Claybaker by major de-
cision, 12-0, in the frst
round, he pinned Matt
Dennis (Uhrichsville
Claymont) in 3:36 be-
fore defeating St. Paris
Grahams Lane Thomas,
6-1, to advance to the f-
nals. From there, Cramer
took Clarksville Clinton-
Massies Wyatt Run-
ning, winning by major
decision, 16-4, to claim
Oak Harbors 22nd state
wrestling title.
Chambers, who quali-
fed for state last sea-
son, pinned Columbus
Miffins Hannibal Tate
in 3:23 to win his frst
match before falling to
eventual-champion Alex
Marinelli of Graham,
13-5, in the quarterf-
nals. Chambers did re-
cover, however, winning three of his next four matches in
the consolation bracket to fnish ffth, defeating league foe
Blake Miller of Clyde, 4-2.
T.J. Lawrence, who burst onto the scene this year
as a sophomore, won his frst match by sudden victory,
4-2, over Columbus Hamiltons Alonzo Jewell before fall-
ing to Perrys Billy Miller, the eventual champion, by pin
at 3:54. After being moved to the consolation bracket,
Lawrence was able to outlast Evan Loughman of Thorn-
ville Sheridan, 3-2, fnishing eighth.
Senior Alec Bowlick came up just short in his quest to
place, losing two out of three matches, including, 9-4,
to Fairfeld Unions Stewart Oehlers in the consolation
bracket. Had Bowlick won that match, he wouldve guar-
anteed himself of, at worst, an eighth-place fnish.

Despite setting a program record with 21 victories and
winning its frst sectional title in seven years, the Port
Clinton Redskins season came to an end Saturday when
they fell, 68-40, to Toledo Rogers in the Division II Dis-
trict Final at Lake
High School.
Behind a com-
bined 46 points
from the backcourt
duo of ChaRon
Sweeney and Sasha
Dailey, the Rams
took the lead for
good on a basket
by Sweeney late in
the frst quarter
and never looked
back as their full-
court press gave
Port Clinton fts
all night. For the
game, Rogers
forced 24 turn-
overs, 14 of them in
the frst half. Down,
8-7, late in the frst
quarter, the Rams
went on a 29-9 run
to take a 36-17 lead into the half. Sweeney had 10 points
in the second quarter and Dailey added seven to help
Rogers break the game open.
With the win, the Rams improves to 23-3 while the
Skins fall to 21-4.
Hope Thorbahn led Port Clinton with 14 points and
Tiffany Colston contributed with 10 points and six
boards to help pace the Skins.
Port Clintons
best season in
school history saw
them go 19-3 in
the regular season
and saw them just
miss out on win-
ning a Sandusky
Bay Conference
title, fnishing
with a 12-2 mark
in the league be-
hind Clyde (14-0).
The team will
also return every
one of its players, a
sign that even bet-
ter things could
be on the horizon.
Next years group
will features six
seniors in Thor-
bahn, Colston,
Paige Culver, Kris-
ten Wood, Maddie Burris and Hannah Rose as well as
four juniors, Hannah Weaver, Kennedy Gulas, Emily
Ashley and Kiya Brown, and sophomore Marissa Day.
PCHS girls season ends with loss

Behind a frst-quarter scoring outburst that saw them
put 34 points on the board, the St. Paul Flyers defeated
Danbury, 84-35, to win the Division IV Sectional Semif-
nal last week at Norwalk High School.
In the frst quarter, St. Paul shot 15-of-18, including
4-of-6 from the three-point line to build a 34-10 lead that
was pushed to 49-20 at the half.
The Flyers, who had 12 players score, were led by Brian
Griffn, who had a game-high 22 points.
With the win, St. Paul, which tied for second in the Fire-
lands Conference this year, improves to 18-6 while the
Lakers fnish the year at 1-22.
Danbury, which returns seven letter winners to next
years team, got a game-high nine points from senior
Chance Mackall.

Behind a fast start that saw them take a 24-9 lead after
the frst quarter before pushing the advantage to 44-19
at halftime, the Bellevue Redmen controlled the game
throughout in their 71-34 victory over Port Clinton in
the Division II Sectional Semifnals at Clay High School.
The Redmen (13-10) had three players fnish in dou-
ble fgures, led by Jalen Santoro, who had a game-high
28 points. Trent Stamm contributed with 15 and Derek
Smith fnished with 12.
Nathan Stubblefeld had eight points to lead the Skins
(5-16), Cameron Rodriguez fnished with six and Brock
Moore chipped in with fve.
While Port Clinton does graduate four of its players
from this years squad, the Skins will return a number
of key contributors, among them Nathan Stubblefeld,
Brock Moore, Cameron Rodriguez, Dylan Webb, Carter
Rumball and Ian Kyle.

Brad Corbin, co-owner of Sloppys Sports Cafe in
Lakeside, notched an unprecedented back-to-back win
in the 2013 Pizza Piz-
zazz Gourmet category
on Feb. 17. Corbin, who
co-owns Sloopys with
business partner Mat
Mangan, took home the
$6,000 cash prize with
an unusual strawberry-
accented pizza named
Paiges Delight, and
marked the fourth time
that the restaurant has
grabbed a top spot at
Pizza Pizzazz. In addition
to Corbins two wins,
Mangan won the Tradi-
tional category in 2012,
and Michael Speck, a previous Sloopys owner, won in
the Traditional category in 2003.
The annual contest, operated in conjunction with the
annual North America Pizza and Ice Cream Show and
held at the Columbus Convention Center Feb. 17-18,
allows winners not only to claim the title, Best of the
Midwest, but reap a sales bonanza as pizza fans fock
to their restaurants to taste those winners. Corbin, who
won last year with a Japanese-inspired pizza named
The Hibachi, said customers came to Lakeside from as
far away as Athens, Ohio, to try the pie.
Four people drove four hours to taste that pizza,
said Corbin. Who does that for pizza when there has
to be at least 500 pizza places on the way up? That says
something about how important this is to customers.
Paiges Delight is made from a medium-thick, hand-
tossed crust spread with a sauce made of pureed straw-
berry jam and a balsamic vinegar reduction. Its topped
with marinated chicken, apple-wood smoked bacon,
red onions, a blend of provolone and mozzarella chees-
es, and garnished with sliced strawberries and spicy
chili sauce. The pizza sells for $20.99 (16 inch); $15.79
(12 inch); $10.49 (9 inch) and $6.29 (7 inch).
We like to do things that are a little outside the box
but that taste good and get customers to try something
different, said Corbin, who stressed hes not a trained
chef, rather just a cook willing to experiment. He
added that he and Mangan will now have a little extra
spending money for their April trip to the World Pizza
Championships in Italy, where both will compete. We
came up with the idea just playing around with differ-
ent things and seeing what worked together. Im also a
fan of watching cooking shows, so maybe Ive learned
through the television, too.
BY YANEEK SMITH
In a game that saw momentum switch hands a number
of times in the second half, Clyde managed to weather
the storm and answer every Oak Harbor rally to edge the
Rockets, 54-51, in the Division II Sectional Semifnals at
Clay High School.
Down 45-35 midway thru the fourth quarter, the Rock-
ets staged a rally that started with a three-pointer by A.J.
Cecil and ended with a Greg Haar triple to cut the defcit
to 47-43 with 2:30 remaining.
After some back-and-forth possessions that didnt net
any points, Paul Cullen hit what appeared to be the dag-
ger, connecting on a three-pointer out of the left corner
with 1:01 remaining.
Down 50-43, Austin Wiegand hit a three for Oak Har-
bor to cut the defcit to four, and, after two free throws by
Cullen, Haar hit a three from the top of the key to make
it 52-49 with 30.5 seconds remaining. After the Fliers
missed the front end of a 1-and-1 on the opposite end,
Haar misfred on a triple from the left wing and, after Rie-
man came up with a steal, Clyde put the game away at the
charity stripe.
Derek Gray led the Fliers balanced scoring attack with
18 points, followed by center Jonathan Linnestad, who
had 10. In addition to Riemans eight points, Cullen fn-
ished with seven and Gregory chipped in with six. In the
third quarter, Oak Harbor was able to cut the defcit to
31-30 and the Fliers, as they did all night long, responded,
scoring fve straight points to take a 36-30 lead into the
fourth quarter.
Haar led all scorers with 24 points, including fve
3-pointers, and Cecil contributed with 18. Twenty of
Haars points came in the second half.
After Oak Harbor outscored Clyde, 12-9, in the frst
quarter, the Fliers responded by winning the second pe-
riod, 12-4, to take a 21-16 lead into the half.
Our boys played really hard tonight, said Oak Harbor
head coach Eric Sweet. They executed my game plan
defensively pretty well. You have to give credit to Derek
Gray. Hes hitting some shots that a lot of kids just dont
make and my kids are looking at me saying, What can we
do?. Hes hitting step-back jumpers that are tough.
For Haar, Cecil and Weigand, all of whom are three-year
lettermen, and fellow seniors Sam Laderach, Andrew Ben-
ner and Bryce Rubie, its the end of a career that saw them
turn around a program that had fallen on hard times in
recent years. In the last seven seasons, the Rockets won
a combined 21 games and fnished in seventh or eighth
place in the Sandusky Bay Conference each time. This
year, however, Oak Harbor managed to go 11-11 in the
regular season and 7-7 in the SBC, good for fourth place.
Im proud of my kids, Sweet said. These seniors, all
six of them gave me a heck of an effort. They bought into
me, they bought into the program. We went 11-11, its
something we havent done in a long time and Im proud
of my team.
Haar spoke about what he and his fellow seniors have
done to try and help rebuild the program over the past
two seasons.
What we did this year is all from Coach Sweet, Haar
said. We came to practice every day ready to work our
tails off. He set the tone at the beginning of the season.
The last (number) of years, teams would just fold. The
reason we won so many games this year is because we
played harder and with more intensity. The defense was
the main reason we were in a lot of games.
A.J., Austin and I watched (the losing) happen for three
years and we got sick and tired of it. When were down,
were going to make stuff happen. Its just about being
competitive. You cant fold, you cant give up. Thats an-
other (testament) to Coach Sweet. Hes got all the faith in
us and it helped us out confdence-wise.

Chris McIntire, President and
Founder of McIntire Retirement
Services with offces in Perrysburg,
Fremont and Port Clinton, recently
attended a two-day Social Security
seminar in Cincinnati. Premier Liv-
ing, a Social Security consulting frm
based out of Sharonville, Ohio, held
the seminar. One of Premier Livings
two principals has 35 years of expe-
rience working for the Social Security Administration,
while the second principal has 30 years of public account-
ing experience.
I specialize in working with clients who are in retire-
ment or approaching retirement, and this seminar was
very timely and helpful in covering the many issues asso-
ciated with claiming Social Security benefts, says McIn-
tire. The people putting on the seminar were very experi-
enced in dealing with the Social Security Administration,
so they provided unique insights and perspectives. Mc-
Intire says the two-day program provided a lot of eye-
opening examples. Did you know there are about a dozen
ways that married couples can claim their Social Security
benefts? Each option they consider provides them with a
different level of monthly income. Ive invested the time
learning the ins and outs of how Social Security works,
and I can help clients with this.
McIntire says the average person doesnt understand the
Social Security system and that there are many miscon-
ceptions about it. My clients want to know how much
they will receive from Social Security, when they should
apply, and when they should start receiving benefts. The
seminar gave us insight on how to handle individual cas-
es. He says family issues play a role in how and individ-
ual should approach Social Security. If you are divorced,
widowed, or have children it can signifcantly affect your
Social Security benefts and how you should approach it.
In addition to the Social Security portion of the seminar,
Medicare Parts A, B, C, and D were also covered. They go
hand in hand, says McIntire referring to Social Security
and Medicare. Clients want information about both.
McIntire has worked extensively in the feld of fnan-
cial management as an Investment Advisor Representa-
tive, which gives him a fduciary responsibility to act in
the best interest of his clients. I use my experience and
expertise to assist clients in structuring their retirement
assets to last a lifetime and beyond, says McIntire.
McIntire Retirement Services has offces in Perrysburg
and Fremont as well as a new offce in Port Clinton. He
resides in Woodville with his wife, Robin and three dogs.

vices, visit www.mcintireretirementservices.com, call 419-

Magruder Hospitals Laboratory was
recently granted re-accreditation by the
American Association of Blood Banks
(AABB).
Magruder is one of the few area hospitals
to earn this accreditation. The process in-
cludes an intensive on-site assessment by
specially trained AABB assessors and es-
tablishes that the level of medical, techni-
cal and administrative performance within
the facility meets or exceeds the standards
set by AABB. By meeting the requirements,
Magruder joins approximately 1,800 simi-
lar facilities across the United States and
abroad that have earned AABB Accredita-
tion.
Accreditation by the AABB is the des-
ignation of choice for blood banking,
transfusion medicine, blood management
and cellular therapies because it demon-
strates an organizations commitment to
advanced learning, continuous improve-
ments and innovation by striving to sus-
tain the highest possible level of patient
and donor care.
Credit card fraud prevention
Theft, the most obvious form of credit card fraud, can
happen in a variety of ways, from low tech dumpster
diving to high tech hacking. A thief might go through
the trash to fnd discarded billing statements and then
use your account information to buy things. A retail or
bank website might get hacked, and your card number
could be stolen and shared. Perhaps a dishonest clerk
or waiter might take a photo of your credit card and
use your account to buy items or create another ac-
count. Or maybe you get a call offering a free trip or
discounted travel package, but to be eligible you have
to join a club and give your account number, say, to
guarantee your place. The next thing you know, charges
you didnt make are on your bill, and the trip promot-
ers who called you are nowhere to be found.
What can you do?
Incorporating a few practices into your daily routine
can help keep your cards and account numbers safe.
For example, keep a record of your account numbers in
a secure place along with their expiration dates and the
phone number to report fraud for each company. Dont
lend your card to anyone, even your kids or roommates,
and dont leave your cards, receipts, or statements
around your home or offce. When you no longer need
them, shred them before throwing them away.
Other fraud protection practices include:
Dont give your account number to anyone on the
phone unless youve made the call to a company
you know to be reputable. If youve never done
business with them before, do an online search
frst for reviews or complaints.
Carry your cards separately from your wallet. It
can minimize your losses if someone steals your
wallet or purse. And carry only the card you need
for that outing.
During a transaction, keep your eye on your card.
Make sure you get it back before you walk away.
Never sign a blank receipt. Draw a line through any
blank spaces above the total.
Save your receipts to compare with your statement.
Open your bills promptly, or check them online
often, and reconcile them with the purchases
youve made.
Report any questionable charges to the card issuer.
Notify your card issuer of your address changes or
if you will be traveling.
Dont write your account number on the outside
of an envelope.
Report losses and fraud
Call the card issuer as soon as you realize your card
has been lost or stolen. Many companies have toll-free
numbers and 24 hour service to deal with this. Once
you report the loss or theft, the law says you have no
additional responsibility for charges you didnt make.
In any case, your liability for each card lost or stolen is
$50. If you suspect that the card was used fraudulently,
you may have to sign a statement under oath that you
didnt make the purchases in question.

Recent fndings from what is believed to
be the largest study of a weight- loss pro-
gram in the United States indicates that
TOPS, the nonproft weight-loss support
organization, is associated with clinically
signifcant weight loss among participants
who remain in the program for at least one
year.
According to a study published in Obesi-
ty, the offcial journal of The Obesity Soci-
ety, TOPS participants who renewed their
annual membership consecutively over a
period of one to three years lost between
5.9% and 7.1% of their initial weight.
People who remained in the program lost
6% of initial weight in the frst year and
maintained that weight loss for up to three
years.
In addition to regular group meet-
ings designed to reinforce healthy habits
such as setting reasonable goals, increas-
ing physical activity, portion control, and
food journaling major components of
TOPS weight-loss philosophy, the TOPS
program includes a six-week quick-start
guide, MyDay One, and a one- year sub-
scription to TOPS News, the organiza-
tions members-only magazine.
