Fighting for a future

HUMANE SOCIETY OF OTTAWA COUNTY

Beagle bonanza!
BY JOHN SCHAFFNER Publisher The shelter at the Humane Society of Ottawa County on Sand Road is packed. On Jan. 23, Humane Officer Denny Hammond was called by Port Clinton Police to an address on West Second Street. Neighbors had complained that there were a number of dogs at the residence, which had recently been foreclosed on by the bank. It was 9 p.m. when Hammond and police officers arrived. What they found was a house full of beagle puppies 13 of them! All of the dogs appeared to be in relatively good shape, but the house was a complete mess. The floors were covered with feces and urine. The police department located the dogs owners who were initially reluctant to allow the officers in the house. They eventually relented when told that the officers would just go get a search warrant. All 13 of the dogs have been rescued and are presently being housed at the Humane Society shelter. According to Hammond, the Humane Society is eager to find foster homes for as many of these dogs as possible. We are right now overloaded with dogs, said Hammond. He also noted that, amazingly, several of the Beagles are house trained.

St. Boniface School faces financial crisis

BY JOHN SCHAFFNER Publisher We received a letter last Friday from Sandy Heschel, a parent of a first grader. A year ago, her daughter Diane attended kindergarten at public school, but as an extremely shy child she had trouble adjusting to the overall environment, according to her mother. She and her husband Patrix Heschel decided to enroll Diane at St. Boniface School in Oak Harbor and saw a very positive change. Today, she comes home and cant stop talking about her day and even begs to stay in aftercare, said Sandy Heschel. Early this year, the parents of St. Boniface school children received a letter from Erin Karl, President of the St. Boniface School Advisory Council. Thanks to a 10 percent increase in enrollment for the 2011-12 school year, the school has managed to find the finances to keep going. That appears to be in jeopardy for the 2012-13 school year. Like your family, the school/church family is operated out of a single checkbook, says Erin Karl in the letter sent to parents. Just as the economy has taken a toll on our own personal finances, it has also taken a toll on school finances. During the harsh economic climate of the past few years, we

have experienced a decrease in fundraising profits. Our enrollment also declined until this school year. On Feb. 21, the Advisory Council is expected to present 5-year and 10-year strategic plans to the parish finance committee showing a viable path and sustainable funding, enrollment and growth. It will also show why St. Boniface Elementary School is a necessary and vital part of our parish and community, said Karl. According to Karl and the School Advisory Council, they need to acquire $100,000 to fund the school next

Tell Tales

Last shot story prompts look back at first shot

Last week we ran the story about The Last Shot at the Port Clinton Middle School Gym/ Auditorium. That got local historian Lock Zeis going and he went back into the archives of the Ottawa County Museum and pulled out an article in the Port Clinton Herald from Dec. 16, 1937, highlighting the FIRST GAME at what was then the brand new high school gym/auditorium! It was a 22-8 Port Clinton victory over Oak Harbor and drew a crowd of nearly 1,000 people. The player of the game was Gene Bolte, who replaced Big Jim Sims at center and was a rebounding machine. On nearly every play he was taking the ball from the backboards to help break up an intended Oak Harbor offense or aid in the taking possession of the ball for Port Clinton.
n

That team was coached by Art Burholt, who was one of the men of Tank Company C who didnt return from the Philippines in World War II. That first game was played nearly 55 years ago.

Additionally, parents have been asked to recruit one new student to St. Boniface School. Karl ended her letter to parents saying: The potential for growth is real, but we have little time to exploit the opportunity. We truly need your help and prayers. She closed by repeating the campaign slogan St. B is for me! The Ottawa County Genealogical Society will meet at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 21, at the Ida Rupp Public Library in Port Clinton.

Magruder Auxiliary shows support for employee wellness

The Magruder Hospital Auxiliary recently donated $1,000 to show its support of the hospitals employee wellness program Journey to Health. The program began in May of 2011 as a way to boost employee health and wellness and help control healthcare costs in the long run. Participants received tracking booklets where they recorded the various steps they took on their wellness journey, which involved physical, mental and emotional health. Full- and part-time employees were encouraged to participate in education and screenings as well as volunteering, getting flu shots, quitting smoking and getting their family involved. Those who completed Steps 1 and 2 of the program could choose from three incentives as their reward. The first year went very well, according to Jennifer Capizzi, Magruders Director of Human Resources. There were not overwhelming numbers of people who completed both steps, but staff consistently commented that it helped them do more for their health than they would have otherwise. For information on the Magruder Auxiliary, contact Kathy Gallogly at 419-734-3131, ext. 3140, or visit www. magruderhospital.com.

The Ida Rupp Public Library is delighted to announce that Ida Rupp herself has given the people of Port Clinton another gift, courtesy of Gary Lamsargis and Dr. Laura Shea. The couple found a painting Ida had done in 1916 and contacted the Library to offer it as a donation. Their letter accompanied the painting: To the Citizens of Port Clinton, Ohio: This painting appealed to us because it reminded us of a creek bed on our farm. Were sending it home to you and hope you enjoy it! Sincerely, Mr. Gary Lamsargis and Dr. Laura Shea 2/4/12 Stop in to see Idas painting above the circulation desk at the Library. Library staff is delighted to be given something that Ida created for the library that was named for her.

Terra sees MAGEE MARSH dip in enrollment Wildlife trail closed for nesting eagles
One loop of the walking trail at Magee Marsh Wildlife Area has been closed to protect a newly established bald eagle nest, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, 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 human activity near the nest and provide the birds with a good chance of producing a successful nest. 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. Several years ago another pair attempted to nest at Magee Marsh near the boardwalk, but the pair was unsuccessful. Bald eagle eggs take more than a month to hatch, and this pair at the Migration Bird Center has not laid eggs yet. The nest will be monitored to determine when the walking trail will be reopened to the public. The Sportsmens Migratory Bird Center is open during the winter Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. The trails are open during daylight hours. The Ohio Department of Natural Resources ensures a balance between wise use and protection of our natural resources for the benefit of all. Visit the ODNR website at www.ohiodnr.com.

Court celebrates graduate of intervention program

Magistrate Louis P. Wargo III recently presided over a special session of the Ottawa County Municipal Court when he recognized the sole graduate of its Benchmark Alcohol/Drug and Mental Health Intervention Court Program. The court session, followed by a reception for the graduate and his supporters, honored the programss graduate for his successful completion of the two-year court program. Since its inception nearly four years ago, the Benchmark Program has served the families and citizens of Ottawa County by addressing the Countys mental health and substance abuse issues, said Judge Frederick C. Hany II. Wargo, who regularly presides over the weekly court sessions, commended the graduate, stressing the fact that he had made great strides turning his life around for not only his betterment but also his family, friends and our community as well. The graduates family has been very supportive throughout this entire process, he said. This particular graduate has seen that through his perseverance, hardwork and commitment, he has not only bettered himself, but others as well, including his service as an active mentor for those participants following him in the program. The courts Benchmark Intervention Program has been supervising a rehabilitation program for chemically dependent individuals as well as individuals with serious mental health problems charged with misdemeanor offenses since July 2008. Funding for the establishment and operation of the Intervention Court was initially being supplemented by a Department of Justice Grant, but has, since that date, received the full support of the Ottawa County Commissioners.

Oak Harbors hold on dominance in the Sandusky Bay Conference in wrestling took a hit last Saturday as Edison outpaced the field to win the Conference title at Huron. Clyde finished second ahead of Perkins, Oak Harbor, St. Marys Margaretta, Huron and Port Clinton. The Rockets qualified four wresters for the finals, but only advance one champion, Jared Chambers. He defeated Edisons Zach Rutherford 9-5 in the finals to claim his first title. Nick Bergman lost to Edisons Jude Michael in the 112 lb. final by a 4-1 count; Jamie Balboa lost a tough 2-1 decision to Clydes Dakota Flores at 132 lbs.; Edisons Kyle Burns beat Alex Bergman 8-6 at 152 lbs.; while TJ Lawrence lost to Huron veteran Nino Majoy on a late 3rd period fall. Port Clintons Chris Overfield was the only Redskin in the finals but he made the most of it with a 5-2 win over Perkins John Workman for the title at 195 lbs.

PC eighth-graders clinch conference championship PC girls crush Huron

The Port Clinton eighth-grade boys basketball team exploded for 40 second-half points Saturday to turn a 23-21 halftime lead into a 63-43 victory over Edison in the Sandusky Bay Conference Championship game at Clyde. Nathan Stubblefield scored 10 of his game high 22 points in the third quarter to ignite the run, and Stone Scott scored 12 of his 16 points in the fourth quarter to help seal the victory. Also scoring for the Redskins was Drew Fodor with 8 points, Tytan Rumball with 5, Brandon Moore and Brad Rich with 4 points each, and Ben Mueller and Mitchell Mueller each with 2 points. The victory put the finishing touches on a perfect 17-0 season in the SBC. The only season loss was to undefeated Sandusky.

Port Clinton falls to Perkins

BY JOHN SCHAFFNER Publisher This basketball season is mirroring last season for the Port Clinton Redskin boys basketball team, especially due to the injury bug. They have been able to hang in there OK against a couple of opponents, but not last Friday. They were down 31-5 heading into the locker room at Perkins, finally succumbing to the Pirates by a lopsided 78-33 final score. We made a lot of mistakes early which led to easy scores for them, said PC Coach Troy Diels last Monday. We had a hard time getting good looks on the offensive end, let alone scoring. Defensively we tried a couple different looks but we were never able to set our defense because of all the transition baskets. It was a very frustrating night and I hope it

See REDSKINS 2B

It is a shame that Tuesday night games are too late to make our deadline. The Port Clinton Lady Redskins had a date with Fremont Ross on Tuesday, to determine if Coach Toby Bickel was going to finally shave his head! The veteran head coach who normally sports a buzz cut, started letting his hair grow at the beginning of the season and told his team he would not get it cut until they won 13 games! Last Saturday, they got it up to 12 wins with a 60-39 win at Huron. Once again, guard Alex Stephenson made news with five 3-pointers which allowed her to set a season record for treys. She also holds the career

record for triples at PCHS. Her five deep balls gave her 35 on the season, bettering her own record from a year ago by one. Bickels team jumped on Huron early with a 36-15 edge at halftime. Tiffany Colston got a game high 18 points to lead the Redskins. Stephenson added 15 with her five specialty shots, while Hope Thorbahn added 12. The Lady Redskins close out their regular season tonight with a home game against State Ranked Clyde, who comes in at 18-1 overall and 13-0 in the SBC. Can the Lady Redskins pull the upset? A full house at the Supreme Court might help.

Danbury girls fall, drop to 7-6 in the TAAC

BY YANEEK SMITH TOLEDO CHRISTIAN 47 DANBURY 35 Danbury held its own against one of the top teams in the Toledo Area Athletic Conference (TAAC), storming out to an 11-0 lead after one quarter before eventually losing, 47-35. Toledo Christian was able to slowly work its way back into the contest, outscoring the Lakers, 15-11 in the second quarter cut the deficit to 22-15 at the half. With the score tied at 26 heading into the fourth quarter, things fell apart for Danbury as the Eagles outscored them, 21-9, to take command. With the loss, the Lakers fall to 7-12 overall and 7-6 in the TAAC. The Eagles Camille Gist led all scorers with 11 points, followed by teammate Corresha Green, who finished with 10. Kelsey Clemons scored eight points to lead the team, followed by Katie Almendinger and Lilly Kennedy, who finished with seven and six points, respectively. DANBURY 31 MAUMEE VALLEY 14 The Lakers controlled this one from the beginning, grabbing an 8-5 lead after the first quarter before before dominating the second quarter (13-1) as they took a 21-6 lead into the half. In the second half, Maumee Valley (2-13, 2-9 TAAC) managed to keep the score respectable as they were outscored, 10-8. Danburys Kelsey Clemons led all scorers with 16 points, including two 3-pointers, and teammate Tori Wright chipped in with five points. The Lakers final home game of the season comes when they travel to Ottawa Hills on Thursday for a 7:30 p.m. tipoff. Following the completion of the regular season, Danbury will face St. Mary CC at Woodmore High School on Tuesday. The 6:15 p.m. contest will be a rematch from an earlier meeting this season, one that saw the Panthers trounce the Lakers, 49-20.

OHHS girls lose thriller to Tiffin Columbian, 48-46

BY YANEEK SMITH TIFFIN COLUMBIAN 48 OAK HARBOR 46 Oak Harbor, on the verge of sending the game into overtime, lost a heartbreaker when Tiffin Columbians Anna Williams scored with 10.5 seconds remaining to give the Tornadoes the 48-46 victory and its only lead of the fourth quarter. It was the first meeting between the two teams since Columbian defeated the Rockets, 56-31, in the sectional tournament last season. Williams was a force to be reckoned with all night, finishing with a game-high 26 points and 16 rebounds. Teammates Tori Stephens and Megan Moore scored seven points apiece. Oak Harbor forward Allison Dunn had a team-high 22 points and 10 rebounds and Abbie Gezo finished with 13 points. With the win, Columbian improves 6-12 on the season and the Rockets fall to 7-12 overall. The Rockets were done in by their inability to connect from the three-point line (0-of-12) and the free-throw line (8-of-16) as well as its 17 turnovers. Oak Harbor finishes the regular season when it hosts Perkins (13-5, 8-4 SBC) on Thursday. The Lady Pirates beat the Rockets, 61-35, earlier in the season. Following the completion of the regular season, the Rockets will face Bellevue in the sectional tournament at 8 p.m. on Feb. 25 at Sandusky High School. In their only meeting of the season, the Lady Red, who are 15-4 overall, beat Oak Harbor, 68-48. OAK HARBOR 45 ST. MARY CC 34 The Rockets entered the fourth quarter with a 26-25 advantage before outscoring the Panthers, 19-9, in the fourth quarter to win, 45-34. It was the third win in the last five games for the Rockets, who are now 3-10 in the SBC. SMCC is now 11-8 overall and 5-8 in the SBC. Abbie Gezo led all scorers with 14 points and six rebounds and Allison Dunn finished with 12 points.

CLYDE 54 OAK HARBOR 47 With the score tied at 30 midway through the third quarter, the Clyde Fliers went on a 12-0 run to take control, only to see the Rockets rally and cut the deficit to three on two different occasions, only to fall short, 54-47. The Fliers are now 11-5 overall and 8-4 in the SBC, tied for second place and Oak Harbor is 2-15 and 2-10 in the league. The Fliers had three players finish in double figures, among them Derek Gray (12), Zach Warner (12) and Joey Cooper (10). Oak Harbor got 12 points from Cecil and 10 from point guard Greg Haar. It was just announced that Oak Harbor will play Toledo Scott in the sectional tournament later this month. The game, which will be played at 8 p.m. on Feb. 29, takes place at Clay High School. This week, the Rockets have two games as they travel to St. Mary CC on Friday and Danbury on Saturday. In an earlier meeting, the Panthers (8-8, 4-7 SBC) beat Oak Harbor, 60-50, on Jan. 6.

REDSKINS from 1B
shows our kids in the program how much harder we need to work in order to improve. So, are the coaches seeing any bright spots? Its tough right now to pull a lot of positives away, says Coach Diels. I see our younger kids improving but I think we will reap the rewards of them playing right now in the next couple years. It is hard to duplicate the pace and intensity of a varsity game and the good thing is that our younger group of kids is getting to experience it first hand. The Redskins play at Huron Friday night. Huron is a team on the rise late in the season, having crushed Margaretta last Friday night 53-30. They have won 6 of the last 9 games since we played them the first time, says the Redskin Coach Troy Diels. They are going to play uptempo on offense and try to get after us on defense. We need to stop their transition and take care of the ball. Friday night the Redskins travel to Fostoria. Says Coach Diels, I think it will be a very similar type of game as the Huron game. They are 6-9 on the season and I will have an opportunity to see them play Eastwood on Tuesday night. Fostoria will look to force the tempo and we need to be ready for it.

Second-grade students at Bataan Memorial Elementary School have been busy making inventions. As part of the reading, social studies and science curriculum, teachers Stephanie Kreilick and Stacy Gillum created a lesson that was fun for all. Using pizza boxes, gallon jugs and other items, students used their creativity and made inventions to solve a problem or improve upon a current invention. Some of their creations included solar cars, math fact hats (to help with division and multiplication), quick shoes (for those who are always late) and robots to help organize or do chores. Students will be presenting their inventions to other students later this week at the Invention Convention. For more, including pictures and video, go to www. pccsd.net under the News section.

Under NO circumstance should you send any money in advance or give the client your checking, license ID, or credit card numbers. Also beware of ads that claim to guarantee loans regardless of credit and note that if a credit repair company does business only over the phone it is illegal to request any money before delivering its service.
