n To say that she was surprised would be an under-statement! My wife Mary Alice has decided to retire, so I contacted a few people to throw her a big sur-prise party at Port Clinton Yacht Club last Saturday evening. She is also having a birthday on Friday, but I won’t say how old! Anyway, much thanks to Vicki Heinsen, Ann Duez, Connie Roberts, and many oth-ers who helped make it happen. She was surprised by many, many of her good friends, the kind of friends you make in a lifetime of living here…which she has! It was a hoot!

n As I write this on Tuesday morning, a longtime Ca-tawba resident, Ernie Washington is winging his way to Washington D.C. on an Honor Flight. Ernie is 88 years old and enlisted in the U.S. Navy when he was 17. Ernie is an experienced diver and used to own a dive shop in Mansfield. We will have a complete re-port next week from his escort, Tomi Johnson, along with photos of Ernie at the World War II Memorial in Washington. We should also be able to post photos on our website by Wednesday (or by the time you read this in the paper).

n Our “Find Wylie” winner this week is Jean Dietz of Ca-tawba who was one of 233 people to find our friendly fish hiding in the ad for Furniture & Mattress Liqui-dation on page 7A in last week’s Beacon. Joel wins our weekly $20 gift card from Friendship Food Stores. We’ll be hiding Wylie again this week, so if you find him, drop off an entry form at our office in the Beacon Place Business Center or click on the Find Wylie Icon at our website thebeacon.net.

Surprise!

BY JASMINE CUPPThe Greater Port Clinton Area Arts Council (GPCAAC)

has launched a project entitled Perspective, murals by working, local artists. The showcase area for this proj-ect will be in Friendship Park on the wall where the old mural once was. Keith Fleming and Carol Morgan, co-chairs of the project, said that estimations they received to just fix the wall, not even counting the mural, ranged from $30k-$115k.

“Mineral pigment paint was supposed to be used on outside murals and the mural was painted with latex paint,” said Fleming.

The wall that the mural was painted on also wasn’t built to hold a mural even if it was applied correctly.

Fleming and Morgan decided to find a way to still showcase art in our community at a lower cost. The new display comes to no cost to the taxpayer and was

funded by the GPCAAC and by donations from Hart Billboards.

“The new display will be a three panel billboard vinyl wrap,” said Morgan. “Local artists will be showcased on the panels and then when the next artist is ready to be displayed, we plan on hanging the former panels around town on the sides of buildings.”

The vinyl wraps have an estimated life of 6 years.“We want to get the community involved in this proj-

ect,” said Morgan. “Artists are encouraged to submit their work to our review board for consideration.”

The first artist to be showcased is Kelly Rigoni of Hot Shots Photography. The work will be from the Battle of Lake Erie Reenactment from the summer of 2013.

For more information on how to submit work or for more information on the GPCAAC contact 866.732.0941 or visit ottawacountyarts.org.

Friendship Park to showcase local artists

BY JASMINE CUPPKelly Rigoni, a 1993 Port Clinton High School gradu-

ate, and her husband, Billy, have opened Hot Shots Photography and Northern Exposure Gallery that does custom framing, has jewelry and other gifts and décor. Kelly moved away to go to college and then lived in Fre-mont and Clyde before heading back to Port Clinton, the place her and Billy call home.

Kelly’s family had a business in downtown Port Clin-ton for 50 years, Bristley’s Jewelers and Art Department, which was owned by her grandparents and was located at 130 Madison Street. The location of her grandparents shop is just a few doors down where Kelly and Billy opened the doors for their business. Kelly’s parents also owned Barn Rats Bait and Tackle for ten years.

“I was bound to start a business in Port Clinton,” said Kelly. “My grandma was an inspiration to me as an art-ist. I want to instill those same things into our children; whatever you want to do, you can do it you just have to

keep at it.”Kelly says the reason she came back to Port Clinton

was because of Billy. She also says the reason she finally opened her own business was the same reason.

“If I didn’t have Billy to motivate me, we wouldn’t be here,” said Kelly. “He pushed me to open my own busi-ness. We are very like-minded and that definitely helps when working together.”

“This has been a success because the local businesses support each other,” said Kelly. “This is a great town. I formed this business to fit to the community, we’ve not just a business downtown; we’re a gallery, a frame shop, a jewelry store and a photography studio.”

“The legacy of my family’s businesses is living on through me and I am glad that they paved the way.”

Hot Shots Photography and Northern Exposure Gal-lery are located at 210 Madison Street and can be reached at 419-967-5556.

Obituaries

BY JASMINE CUPPAfter many phone calls and Facebook

posts, it was brought to the attention of the City that the condition of the ceme-teries in Port Clinton were not up to par. Since then, Mayor Vince Leone has issued an apology taking personal responsibility for the problem and is doing everything he can to make the situation right.

“There was definitely an outcry from the people,” said Mayor Vince Leone, “and I appreciate that the people let me know about the conditions. To ensure that we can have a manicured, clean cemetery, we need to enforce the cemetery rules. For years the rules have been relaxed.”

To mow the grass at the cemetery quick-ly and efficiently, the rules of the ceme-tery will start to be enforced. Mayor Le-one said that he and Tracy Colston, City of Port Clinton Safety and Service Director, decided that residents have until June 13 to remove anything that doesn’t fall under the rules for gravesites.

The rules of the cemetery state:• No glass allowed• Decorations must be placed to the side

of markers (sheppard’s hooks, planters, solar lights, etc.)

• Decorations must be removed when worn, broken or shoddy.

• Fall clean-up is October 1.• Spring clean-up is March 15.Appropriate gravesite accessories are

available from the Friends of the Cem-etery organization.

“We used to have 22 full time City work-ers and now we have 11; 9 on average with sick time and vacation,” said Mayor Le-one. “This is due to budget cuts over the last few years. We have been trying to implement our “do more with less” men-tality, we are doing what we can with what we have.”

Questions and comments on the issue are to be directed to the Mayor’s office at 419-734-5522 ext 8.

Rules to be enforced to ensure a clean cemetery

TOP: The name has been removed out of respect, this is an example of a site that fol-lows the rules of the cemetery. BOTTOM: The name has been removed out of respect, this is an example of a site that doesn’t follow the cemetery rules making it harder for City workers to mow in an efficient manner.

BY JOHN SCHAFFNERPort Clinton Police Officer Ron Timmons and Deputy Sheriff Curt

Cochran received their departments’ highest honors Wednesday at the Port Clinton Kiwanis’ annual Law Enforcement Day. Timmons was named Officer of the Year, while Cochran was named 2014’s top Deputy.

Ron Timmons began his career with the PCPD in June of 2012 and has made a big impression in a short period of time. He was nominated for the honor by his peers at the Department. He and his wife, Hailey, reside in Port Clinton and he works the midnight shift. He also serves as a backup detective under Sgt. Corbin Carpenter. He recently became an official expert in Marijuana. Timmons served two deployments overseas as a United States Marine, serving in Iraq from 2006-2007 and in Afghanistan from 2010-2011.

Cochran started his law enforcement career with the corrections di-vision of the Ottawa County Sheriff’s office in June of 2007 where he worked for over 5 years. In April of 2011 he became a member of the Department’s Special Response Team (SWAT). In 2012 he attended training to become an unarmed self-defense instructor through the Ohio Peace Officer Training Program. In 2013, he led the Sheriff’s Of-fice in criminal arrests.

“I would like to let you all know that early in Curt’s career, in my mind, I was not sure that Curt was mature enough for the road or even law enforcement,” said Ottawa County Sheriff, Steve Levorchick. “However, I saw that it was only my shortsighted vision, not any short-comings of Curt’s. I am extremely proud that I opened my eyes and saw the great deputy that was right in front of us, and I was able to put him on the road. He is an extremely hard working deputy, who takes great

pride in his job, in his service, but most of all in his community.” Both Timmons and Cochran were awarded their individual honors

by a vote of their peers, which may be the highest honor of all. Nobody knows the value of a law enforcement officer like the law enforcement officers themselves.

On May 27, the Ottawa County Commissioners recognized Ottawa County veteran Roger Akins, American Legion Post 113, Port Clinton.

Roger Akins served with the Ohio National Guard from February 1970-May 1974 and the United States Army Re-serve from May 1974-February 1976. He completed Basic Training at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri. Once he finished basic training, Roger went onto AIT and trained as a Combat Engineer.

After graduation, he was assigned to Ohio National Guard Company B, 112th Engineer Battalion in Kent/Akron. He was also assigned to the United States Army Reserve 5046 US Army Garrison, Detroit, Michigan (Judge Advocate Generals

Office). Upon discharge, Roger was a Specialist 4th Class.Mr. Akins opened the regularly scheduled meeting for the

Ottawa County Board of Commissioners by leading with the Pledge of Allegiance. He was honored for his dedication and sacrifices through his service to our country with a plaque from President Regal. “It was an honor for me to present the proclamation to Roger and to recognize his bravery, sacrific-es he made, and to thank him for his service to our country,” said President Regal.

The County Commissioners will be recognizing a veteran within the community the first or second Tuesday meeting of every month. The month of June will be a veteran from the American Legion Post 542, Put-in-Bay.

BY DONNA LUEKEOn May 10, International Migratory Bird Day, another

jewel was added to Ottawa County’s necklace of wetland preserves along the Lake Erie shoreline. The Great Egret Marsh Preserve, managed by The Nature Conservancy, consists of more than 150 acres of marsh and surround-ing upland across the road from East Harbor State Park.

The historyLocal residents may remember when Floyd McCullough

developed the marina and West Harbor Lagoons. The McCulloughs preserved much of the marshlands and ad-jacent upland, at times leasing a portion of the upland for farming. A Clean Ohio Conservation Fund grant, a bar-gain sale from Floyd’s daughter Mary Ann McCullough and a generous bequest from the estate of Pauline B. Miller of Tiffin assured that the land could be obtained by The Nature Conservancy and protected for the benefit of wildlife and future generations.

The preserve contributes to The Nature Conservancy’s goal to protect and restore an additional 10,000 acres of coastal habitat along Lake Erie. Its marshes are part of the West Harbor Basin, a long, narrow pool of Lake Erie backwater that geologists believe was once the channel of the Portage River. As the last wave of glaciation receded and Lake Erie’s water level rose, the river naturally re-routed itself to empty into the lake at Port Clinton instead of nearby East Harbor State Park.

In 2013 the Conservancy was awarded a grant from the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation to restore the old farm fields on the Preserve back to natural landcover

and improve fish passage in the existing diked marshes. Improvements in 2014 will include management and removal of invasive phrag-mites and other non-native vegetation in both the wetland and upland areas.

The preserveThe Great Egret Marsh Preserve, a haven for

waterfowl and wading birds, is open daily to the public from dawn until dusk for wildlife-watching, fishing, hiking, kayaking and canoe-ing. There is a kayak and canoe launch ramp into West Harbor only a short distance from the parking area. An easy, 1.2 mile mown-grass loop trail guides visitors through the marshes and surrounding upland, with the initial 0.2 mile along West Harbor being ADA accessible. About half of the preserve is covered in classic Lake Erie marshland, blanketed each summer with water lotus.

“What sticks in my mind is the sweeping view of West Harbor and the abundance of great egrets feeding in the marsh,” said Terry Seidel, the Nature Conservan-cy’s director of land protection in Ohio, of his first visit to the property. “If you live inland, it is pretty impressive to see 50 or so of these big birds in different clusters in shallow waters.”

Nancy Beadle of Marblehead, who took part in the opening day hike on May 10, said, “We are fortunate to have this beautiful preserve so close. I am so grateful that The Nature Conservancy was able to preserve this trea-

sure.” Directions to the Preserve: Take State Route 2 to State

Route 269 North. After 2.5 miles, turn right onto S.R. 163 East/S.R. 269 North for about ½ mile. Turn left onto S.R. 269 North/North Buck Road for about ¾ mile. Turn left onto Buck Road, 139A. Go 500 feet and the entrance to the preserve will be on the right.

The Ottawa County Sheriff’s Office has reports that a male subject is call-ing people in the City of Port Clinton saying that he is the Sheriff of Ottawa County. The subject tells victims that they didn’t show up for jury duty and that they have an active warrant for their arrest. The subject posing as the Sheriff then says the war-rant would be taken care of if they sent him money over a Pay Pal account.

The Sheriff’s Office is warning the public that at no point would any police agency handle a warrant in this manner. If anyone re-ceives a phone call of this nature, they are advised to contact their local police department immediately and file a report about the incident.

For more than three generations the Tacchino family has been producing truly superb wines in the hills of Piedmont. Alessio and Romina represent the next generation, inher-iting their passion for these lands from their grandfather who founded the winery nearly a half century ago. Piedmont has a great winemaking heritage, this is where Tacchino

vineyards cover 25 hectares. Most of the vineyards are located in a natural amphitheater, where the hills protect the vines from cold northern breez-es. With the most recent technology and assistance from veteran winemakers Alessio and Romina are producing some truly world-class vintages.

Promoting art to people with disabilitiesBY JASMINE CUPP

In June and July at the Sutton Center in Port Clinton the Accessible Expression Ohio (AEO), in conjunction with VSA Ohio, RVI and the Port Clinton Artists’ Club,

is exhibiting its art show. The goal of AEO is to challenge a person’s notion of dis/ability and inspire creativity. AEO is an adjudicated, statewide exhibition and tour of visual art for artists of all ages with disabilities. AEO is partnering with VSA Ohio, the State Organization on Arts and Disability, which represents people with all types of disabilities; mental, physical and developmental.

The Port Clinton Artists’ Club is donating half of the space in their Sutton Center gallery to house the exhibit.

In celebration, local artist and Port Clinton Artists’ Club member, Dee Cochran hosted a VSA Ohio artist workshop on June 3. The class was 20 students, 10 of them who are disabled. The class is a batik class, which only includes four colors and is easy for anyone at any skill level. A batik is a work of art made on rice paper using ink, watercolor and hot canning wax.

For more information visit vsao.org or portclintonartistsclub.com.

NEW!Design a transit system

The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) is asking Ohio residents to design the transit system that they would like to ride.

ODOT has designed an interactive tool and survey that lets users decide what the priorities should be and matches those with the dollars it takes to deliver them. The sur-vey also illustrates the community benefits based on how funds are spent, helping us-ers understand the trade-offs that decision-makers must face as they invest in our tran-sit systems.

For example, residents of urban areas like Akron or Toledo may want more bus ser-vice, running more often, on more days. Those who live in rural areas like Athens or Holmes counties may want van service that takes them to medical appointments or shopping locations. All across Ohio, resi-dents may be thinking of new types of ve-hicles, services, and technology, which the survey will also help measure.

Ohioans are encouraged to use the inter-active tool and take the online survey by June 30.

The interactive tool is located here: at www.ohiotransitsurvey.com. Click “Pro-ceed to Next Page” to be guided to the cor-responding Ohio Transit Survey. (Google Chrome users may need to use only “ohio-transitsurvey.com” to access the page.)

The survey findings will assist ODOT’s evaluation of how transit needs and pref-erences vary by audience, region and ex-perience. This feedback, along with other analyses of Ohio’s unique transit needs and the nation’s best practices, will shape recommendations produced by the ODOT Statewide Transit Needs Study, expected by the end of this year.

For more information on the ODOT study, visit www.TransitNeedsStudy.ohio.gov.

Local Art Graces Visitor Center

Visitors and locals will have the oppor-tunity to view the Splendor of Lake Erie at a special exhibit at the Lake Erie Shores & Islands Welcome Center West. The ex-hibit features a variety of lake art from local artists Celeste Mycoskie, Put-in-Bay; Barbara Radebaugh, Catawba Island; Rosemary Schramm, Port Clinton and Jim Siemer, Columbus and Middle Bass Island,

and will run through Labor Day.

Mycoskie, a watercolor art-ist, spent sum-mers on PIB as a teen and en-joys sketching and painting the island offer-

ings. Her annual calendar with 12 island views has become a collector’s item.

Radebaugh, a watercolor artist and pho-tographer, paints or photographs unusual scenes from the wonders of nature that surround the beauty that is Lake Erie. Her macro of a mayfly either thrills people or makes them say “eww!”

Schramm has a BFA from Bowling Green University. She is an artist, singer and songwriter, and was born and raised in Port Clinton. Schramm can be seen paint-ing oils in plein aire around the area. Her “treasure paintings” are sought after, as well as her portraits.

Siemer is an artist from Columbus, Ohio whose family built a cottage on Middle Bass Island in 1983. Inspired by the beauty of Lake Erie, Jim began painting watercol-ors of local landmarks like Lonz Winery. For 25 years Jim has captured the splendor of the Lake Erie Shores and Islands in his paintings.

The Visitor Center is located at770 SE Catawba Rd. (SR 53), Port Clinton, OH 43452. For more information or assistance to plan a stay in the Lake Erie Islands Re-gion call 800.441.1271 or visit [email protected].

What a Great Holiday Weekend!BY JULIA DAVIS

Fishing Report

Who could ask for more? The weather was fantastic, and the fish cooperated nicely.

Light winds made fishing very pleasant and moving around from spot to spot was an easy task. Fish were everywhere from in close, up to Canada, and to the east of the Western Basin. While some resident big fish can still be caught on the end, the majority have been on the move, due to the water temperatures rising. Temps are now in the high 60s in most places, and the big girls are on the move to cooler/deeper waters to the east.

If you were fishing this past weekend, then you know that there were hundreds of boats on the water, and finding a pack of fish-ing boats was not difficult. There was a flotilla of boats just out-side of East and West Harbor off Scott’s Point, where easy limits were taken by drift casters and trollers alike. If you listen to chan-nel 79, you would have heard the charter captains chatting back and forth helping each other out with what program was working best and reporting how many limits they had in the boat already.

Personally, I like to find spots away from all the other boats, as it’s easier to make a trolling pass without interference from other’s who may reroute me from my chosen course, and it keeps my stress level way down. Thanks to a friend’s tip, I had a spot pretty much to my self all weekend, making it very enjoyable for not only myself, but for my customers too.

Finding fish was not an issue, because reports of fish being caught were from all over. The east and north sides of Kelleys was popular again, as was A can, B can, and C can west of the islands. The “Kidney” and north of North Bass produced fish, as did the area between North Bass and Middle Island, west of Green and Rattlesnake, and northeast of Niagara.

My best program for easy limits everyday was crawler harness-es behind 1 oz inline weights at 35-41 back, and #2 Tadpoles at 27 & 29 back, at a speed of 1.3 against the current and 1.5-1.7 with the current. Any blades that had a shiny pink painted underbelly or a chartreuse underbelly worked best.

There are a ton of White Bass and White Perch that are eager to steal your crawlers though, so it takes a lot of nonstop work to keep the lines in the water. But, the results are well worth it. I am guessing that’s why the big charter boats prefer to use spoons behind Jets and dipsies instead of crawlers. Some of those big boats can run up to 16+ lines off the big board mast system, so keeping crawlers on that many lines would be a daunting task.

This coming week-end is promising to be another very good weather weekend, so get out there while the conditions are stable and enjoy the fantas-tic fishing we have been experiencing lately. We never know what Mother Nature has up her sleeve, and conditions could change at any time making it a tough bite, or worse yet, making it so we can’t even get out on the lake. So, take advantage while the getting is good, and go catch some fish!

Good luck fishing and be safe!Captain Juls can be contacted by email at [email protected],

In 1979 Cary Ferguson put his dreams into action open-ing Ferguson Gallery. Ferguson is inviting the public to come and see the landmark achievements of his success. The open house, which will be held June 7 and 8 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., is intended to show gratitude to the loyal customers and dear friends that have supported the busi-ness over the years. As a thank you from Ferguson, there will be a paperweight glass making extravaganza for only $28 a person (regularly $68) along with free food and drinks for everyone in attendance.

The open house will also feature painting, photogra-phy and glass blowing demonstrations by resident artists

Rick Dziak (OPA), Dave Kyle (Cleveland Cavaliers pho-tographer), Cary Ferguson and Deborah Prue. Rick Dziak, Ferguson Gallery’s newest feature artist, will be doing oil painting demonstrations in his newly decorated show-room space. For many visitors to the gallery, this will be the first time they see the brand new showroom featuring Dziak’s work. The new showroom is the most recent ad-dition to the floor space at Ferguson Gallery.

The glass blowing workshop is on a first come, first serve basis so Ferguson encourages people to come early to get a spot. For more information about this event or to contact Ferguson Gallery, call 419-734-0600.

There are thousands of children and families that are in need of su-pervised visitation services. Parents, guardians or family members may have chemical dependency, mental health or domestic issues which can put strain on a child’s home life. Joyful Connections is a safe place where children can visit their parent or family member who may have a prob-lem with any of these issues, but wants to try and work them out for the sake of their family and the sake of their child.

“No matter what has happened to these kids, they’re excited to see their parents,” said Sheila Powell, Executive Director of Joyful Connec-tions. “Seeing their parents and having that connection gives them a taste of normal.”

Joyful Connections just celebrated its fifth year anniversary. The pro-gram stemmed from a Leadership Ottawa County project after the group found a need for these services in our area. Leadership Ottawa County went to different organizations in the county with the idea of supervised visitation and a safe child exchange area where parents wouldn’t have to see each other. Leadership Ottawa County found a group to launch the organization and the first board of directors met in July 2007 and Joyful Connections opened in October of 2008.

Since then, Joyful Connections has monitored roughly 3400 visits, which is 7000 hours of child family time, and has hosted 500 child ex-

changes.“A lot of families need this service,” said Powell, “if a family isn’t ex-

posed to anything like this, they don’t know. I never thought the need for this program would be this great. There are so many different cases and so many different kinds of children.”

“We really see the children as our clients. It’s the child’s emotional well-being that’s at stake when they are removed from their family.”

Everything at Joyful Connections has been donated by members of the community or has been acquired by grants. They are always in need of donations and volunteers. The organization does hold fundraisers throughout the year to raise money for their needs.

On June 14, Joyful Connections is teaming up with CASA, Court Ap-pointed Special Advocates for children, for the Amazing Island Raise. This is the second year for the fundraiser and it mimics the television show The Amazing Race. Contestants are put on Put-in-Bay to complete different challenges at different locations.

“It’s good to team up with CASA, Joyful Connections and CASA serve a lot of the same clients,” said Powell. “We are both small, non-profit organizations that could use the help.”

THE SO-CALLED “EXPERTS” ARE SIMPLY MISINFORMED!

Newspapers are dead?Over the last 15 years, since the proliferations of the internet, paid circulation newspapers have seen their subscriptions drop dramatically, up to 8% per year. That is why you hear “Newspapers are dead”. That’s the bad news. The good news is FREE community papers, like The Beacon, have had ZERO reduction in circulation and readership! Our latest audit shows that nearly 80% of the households who get The Beacon READ The Beacon. PLUS The Beacon is read by over 2 individuals per household. So, while the daily papers have suffered, the FREE communities weeklies like The Beacon have thrived. And better yet The Beacon’s Web Site just gets better and better, updated every day with new community news items. The Beacon was “Hyper-Local” before the term was coined!

So, when you hear “Newspapers are dead” ... don’t believe it! Community papers are alive and well, thank you! And our Web Sites are great as well because we don’t have to worry about losing readership to our own Web Site. All you have to do is sit back and read your weekly Beacon and stay informed about the “good news” happening every day. JohnSchaffner

Rockets finish 3rd at regionals, send 6 to Columbus BY YANEEK SMITH

The Oak Harbor 4x400 relay team celebrates its victory at the Division II Regional Track Meet in Lexington. From left, Karis DeWalt, Cydney St. Clair, Athena Eli & Allie Jett.

PHOTO BY REBECCA ELI

A tremendously success-ful season for the Oak Harbor Rockets only got better when the team finished third at the Divi-sion II Regional Track & Field Meet at Lexington High School on Saturday.

In a testament to their im-mense depth, the girls track team saw six athletes qualify for the state meet in Columbus this week. The 4x400 relay team of Karis DeWalt, Cydney St. Clair, Athena Eli and Allie Jett finished first in 4 minutes, 0.91 seconds, setting a school record. Jett, De-Walt, Eli and Rebekah Rayburn finished second as part of the 4x200 squad in 1:44.28, also a school record, and the 4x100 team of Jett, Rayburn, St. Clair and Eli were fourth (50.22), com-ing in just ahead of Heath (50.29) for the final qualifying spot as Eli outlasted Claudia Allen.

Junior Jordyn Dunn was the lone indi-vidual to qualify, doing so with a throw of 114 feet in the discus. Dunn, a region-al qualifier last season, qualified on her sixth and final throw. Alexa Weis was eighth in the 300 hurdles (48.08), senior Trinity Gephart was ninth in the 3200 (12:09.25), Ally Bloomer came in ninth in the high hump (4-10) and Raybun was 15th in the long jump (14-6.5).

On the boys side, Cody Pfeiffer and Cole Weirich both finished just short of getting state, coming in sixth and eighth, respectively, in the 110 hurdles (15.51) and the 100 (11.55). Tyler Sievert, who was battling the flu, came in sev-enth in the 1600 (4:36.03) and 15th in the 800 (2:14.25).

Head coach John McKitrick talked about the performance of his squad, specifically his relay teams.

“We have three relays going to state,” McKitrick said. We’re probably one of the only teams in the state that has three relays going. They’ve sacrificed for the good of the team. These girls compete together, and they win togeth-er. We took 19 girls to the league meet, and I think 17 girls scored. We talk about

how every-one contrib-utes in those victories; it has become a team en-v i ronment .

There’s not a lot of finger pointing or bickering. I’m real proud of these girls. They’ve done everything I’ve ever asked of them. They don’t argue; they know the coaching staff is there to help them.”

“It’s amazing when you’re little, and Oak Harbor is little, and you don’t know you’re little, and you start thinking big. And that’s what these girls are doing, they’re starting to think big. They don’t realize they’re a small Div. II school competing against bigger schools. When little people starting thinking big, that’s a good sign.”

McKitrick is especially proud of St. Clair, who has come a long way in the last year to get to this point.

“Cydney had a good year as a sopho-more, and then she regressed,” McK-itrick said. “Before this year, she was never a regional qualifier. You would have never thought of her as a regional qualifier. She worked hard (in the off-season) — she showed up at morning weightlifting. She switched positions, and went to hurdles and the sprints. You could see that her speed was bet-ter (early on), but you’re wondering if it was going to be good enough. She kept getting better, and once she gained the confidence down and seeing that she could be a sprinter, it changed every-thing.”

“Her attitude has been wonderful. She’s going to be role model for next year’s team. For anyone that fell short of their goals, and wants to change an event, they can look to her. You get in

the weight room, you work hard, you don’t take a day off, and that’s Cydney St. Clair. It’s so nice to see her going out on a high note.”

OSU National Ultimate Frisbee Champions

Danbury graduates 34 in Class of 2014BY JASMINE CUPP

In the Danbury High School gymnasium on Sunday, June 1, at 2 p.m. a commencement ceremony was held for the Class of 2014. At the beginning of the ceremony, Lind-say Mark, class president, presented the school with the gift from their class which was a motorized flag. The flag drops from the middle of the gymnasium and then recedes when no longer needed.

“We thought it was important to honor those that served our country,” said Mark.

Superintendent Daniel Parent offered words of wisdom to the students during the welcome and introductions por-tion of the commencement; never stop asking, never stop learning, enjoy every moment, never look back with regret and take a minute to thank those that got you to where you are. Great advice for anyone entering the world after graduation.

There was a special remembrance for Austyn Morin, a classmate who unexpectedly passed away in the summer of 2013, at the age of 17. Friends Jim Chamberlin and Cody German honored Morin by leading the remembrance. “We stop to remember our friend, you are missed by not forgot-ten.”

Alyssa Biro and Lindsay Mark both gave class addresses at the commencement. During Mark’s speech she said “let’s not let the work take our goodness from us, let us bring our goodness to the world.” This is remarkable advice to give to anyone, no matter what age, on how to be a pro-ductive, great person in the world.

The Citizenship Award was given at the ceremony and for the girls there was a tie between Erin Lavelle and Alys-sa Almendinger. The male student receiving the Citizen-ship Award was Dominic Manuella. The prestigious Dan-bury Key Award went to Class President Lindsay Mark.

ICS Preschool Graduates 26Their future IS so bright, they do need to wear shades! That is exactly what a group 4 and 5 year olds did on Wednes-

day morning as they graduated from ICS Preschool. Under the direction of Miss Mary Heschel, Miss Michelle Wojciechowski, and Miss Emily Tichy the group of 26 sang their hearts out and entertained a full gym of parents, sib-lings, grandparents, and school mates. Tunes like a rap version of “Itsy Bitsy Spider” by the 4 and 5 year olds rocked the house.

Beach Dreaming

My special dream was a common one, to see the grandkids playing on the beach in front of my new home. Obviously that dream is a common one whether the home is a camper or a mansion, it can be a reality.

Families today are finding that investing in quality time with children and grandchildren, away from home where the focus is different, the pace less hectic is very rewarding.

Where did Jimmy discover his love for Marine Biology, catching Blue Gills in Lake Erie. Where did Kathy learn how to water ski? At the cottage by the Sandusky Bay!

What are your dreams for your family? Quality time is priceless; build strong families with priceless rewards.

I can help you realize your dreams, call me today!!
