The Beacon | December 25, 2014

BY JASMINE CUPPOn Wednesday, December 17, the City

of Port Clinton and members of Pogge-meyer Design Group held a public meet-ing discussing the Second Street recon-struction project. The project extends two blocks from Monroe Street to Jefferson Street; approximately 1050 ft. The im-provements will include reconstructing the pavement, curb and walks, including new storm sewers and traffic control up-grades.

The project is estimated to cost $1,500,000. The City is receiving $598,254.98 in federal funds through Ohio Department of Transportation’s Small Cities Program in addition to a $175,000 grant from Ohio Public Works Commission. There is also $550,000 coming from a low interest loan through Ohio Water Development Authority and $200,000 from the main thoroughfare fund which the City receives through license plate fees. The remaining cost will be paid by the City. There are no plans to access any of these costs to the adjacent owners.

“We are trying to utilize every source we can to fund this project to keep the weight off the City,” said Mayor Leone.

The project will be completed in two phases: sanitary sewers (which will take place March through April) and road reconstruction (which is scheduled to go from May to November).

The construction will take place one block at a time to minimize the restriction of access to businesses.

Two-way traffic will be maintained along the side streets intersecting Second Street. It may be necessary to close the intersections within the project limits for short periods of time. The closure of intersections will be minimal. Pedestrian access to adjacent properties and businesses will be maintained during construction, but there will be no on street parking for the block cur-rently under construction.

During public comment at the meeting, the concern of street flooding was brought up by a downtown business owner.

“This project ties back into the combined sewer that drains to the river. The next project on Madison will separate the sanitary sewer with the storm sewer,” said

Neal Materni of Poggemeyer.“You have to understand that this is a phased project,”

said Mayor Leone. “We can’t guarantee there won’t be flooding, but as these projects progress you will see less and less flooding. It won’t be immediate.”

“The new road will be slanted properly. The pipes that are there now have roots inside them, the new pipes won’t have that. That will also help,” said Materni.

“It won’t be immediately perfect, it’s a process,” said Mayor Leone. “With our plans now, we are considering the future. We have to start somewhere.”

“This is the epicenter, the heart if you will, of the sys-tem. That’s why we need to start here,” said Materni.

Hours of construction during the project will be lim-ited to between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m.

The project was submitted to ODOT and the City re-ceived approval for the project Friday, December 19. Af-ter the award of the construction contract for the proj-ect, all adjacent property owners will be notified, prior to construction, of the details regarding the construc-tion schedule, property access, hours of operation, and other details through written notification and/or verbal communication.

For more information on this project contact Tracy Colston, Safety Service Director of the City of Port Clin-ton, at 419-734-5522. To view plans for the project visit thebeacon.net.

Tell TalesMerry Christmasfrom The Beacon

n Each year, The Beacon usually publishes a staff photo wishing you a Merry Christmas. Unfortunately, we didn’t get that photo taken this year, so on behalf of all of us who work so hard to give to you a weekly package of news, photos and information to help keep you going each week: Robin Quesada, Michelle Biers, Bruce Dinse (and all our carriers), Connie Roberts, Tina Britt, Vicky Kletecka, Adam Janes, Mark Schaffner, Jasmine Cupp, Tim Willford, Cory Roggeman along with Mary Alice and myself, may you all have a warm and wonderful Christmas. Thank you for reading The Beacon.

n Quick reminder…The Beacon deadline next week will be early to accommodate New Years happening on Thursday this month. Please have all your submis-sions to us by Friday at 5 p.m. (December 26). Thanks. Also, prepare yourselves for our annual special edition of Telltales next week. Once again, the Great Swami, the seer of all seers, will gaze into the great crystal ball and predict what Ottawa County will look like 10 years hence, in 2025! We should have plenty of material this year.

n Our “Find Wylie” winner this week is Al Sakacsi of Port Clinton who found our friendly fish hiding in the ad for Catawba Dental on page 5A. He was chosen from among 112 contestants who entered our weekly contest. So, Al wins our weekly $20 gift card from Friendship Food Stores. We promise to hide 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.

n We are very sad to learn of the passing of two outstand-ing local citizens, Pat Gipe and Mary Jo Celek. Pat was the wife of former PCHS Swim Coach Ken Gipe, and a very proud mom of some very successful kids. Same goes for Mary Jo Celek, wife of former PCHS bookkeep-ing and business teacher Richard Celek, whose children wound up in the Athletic Hall of Fame.

n I hear that they had a great crowd for the Redneck Claymation Christmas at the Port Clinton VFW Post last Sunday. The Spaghetti Dinner and Auction was all for local resident Tony Tucker, who has been diagnosed with State 3 Lung Cancer. I hope everybody had a great time.

n Local Businesses are being invited to recognize those community businesses and individuals that have posi-tively contributed to the greater Port Clinton communi-ty. Each spring, the Port Clinton Area Chamber of Com-merce gives out five special awards based on separate criteria. Lighthouse Award: Recognizes a business that has made an outstanding contribution in their field; Outstanding Citizen: Recognizes an individual who through hard work and achievements have contributed to the citizens and/or the well-being of the business community of Ottawa County; New Business: recogniz-es a business that opened in 2014; Beautification Award: recognizes a business that has significantly contributed to the aesthetic enhancement of the Greater Port Clin-ton Community either at their place of business or at another area in the City/County (i.e. a park or public area); Business Member of the Year; recognizes the overall contribution of the business/individual to the Chamber, the community and the business environ-ment. Nomination forms are available at the Port Clin-ton Area Chamber of Commerce office at 110 Madison Street in downtown Port Clinton. Nominations should be turned in by February 6, 2015. The Awards dinner will be held on Thursday, April 16.

n Rarely do events that happen in New York City have a big impact on us here in Ottawa County and Ohio. However, the sad, senseless and tragic deaths of two NYPD officers had an effect on all of us. At this time of the year, it is good for all of us to count our bless-ings. For us, one of those blessings is the safe environ-ment we all live in, thanks in large measure to the men and women who wear the black (Ottawa County Sheriff Deputies) and blue (local police officers). I hope I speak for nearly all of the citizens when I say “Thank You” and Merry Christmas to our local law enforcement officers.

n The Ottawa County Museum at 126 W. Third Street in Port Clinton will be open additional hours on Wednes-days, Fridays and Sundays during the Christmas sea-son. Hours are Noon to 3 p.m. on December 24, 26, 28 and 31 as well as January 2 and 4. The museum has an extensive collection of photos and artifacts of Ottawa County’s early settlers, including items from the Battle of Lake Erie. They are also open by appointment with curator Peggy Debien who can be reached at 419-732-1039. Admission is Free.

n Join us for our next Coffee with the Editor session at Common Grounds held every Wednesday morning at 9 a.m. Each Wednesday we have a small group that dis-cusses local issues and we get good ideas about com-munity news stories to cover.

NEW SELF-SERVE AUTOMATIC

COIN SORTER AND COIN COUNTER!

BY JASMINE CUPPThe Ida Rupp Public Library Conference

Room was packed Thursday night for a meeting with Judge Bruce Winters and Mayor Vince Leone concerning the place-ment of a Sober Living Facility in Port Clinton. The facility, which is proposed to be located at 515 Fifth Street in an old church, is in the heart of a residential neighborhood.

“After the town hall that I held last week, I sent an invitation to Judge Winters to come and answer questions that I could not answer,” said Mayor Leone. “No one was against the facility, just the location.”

Judge Winters addressed the crowd, giv-ing citizens information and trying to ease those that are skeptical of the facility.

“I have been talking about this for the last three years,” said Judge Winters. “This is nothing new. This is not a court of a judge project; it’s personal. After seeing the people that come through the court, I saw a need. There is a cycle. They come in and end up coming right back. We need a facility that is 24/7 to help these people get better.”

Winters said that the Mental Health Board of Erie and Ottawa County let him know that there was a grant available for a Sober Living Facility. They also saw the need in the community. The grant, which was obtained by Winters and The Light House, Inc. in early November, is a matching funds grant; however much money they receive, the organization

needs to match. The Mental Health Board of Erie and Ottawa County has agreed to give The Light House, Inc. $75,000 a year for three years.

The requirements of the grant are that the facility has to be owned, it cannot be a rental property, and the facility has to be up and operational by the end of April 2015 or the organization does not receive the grant money.

Winters explained they have looked at old school properties and other facilities in the area that just didn’t fit the budget.

“We have looked at many locations,” said Winters. “There are limits on where we can put the facility. We looked at the old Gypsum school, but there was no way to divide off the building for living quarters and the utilities would be beyond our bud-get. We also looked at the old Rocky Ridge school, which actually sold for only $5000, but it costs a fortune to heat. If we needed to put money into a roof for that building, we wouldn’t be able to afford. It. We also looked into the developmental disabilities building which is on SR 163, shared with Joyful Connections. We never got to the point of negotiating a price because it was way too expensive. That would have been a great place, but it was not in our budget.”

Judge Winters said that they are still interested in the property on Fifth Street and they are ready to make an offer to purchase.

“My vision for this place is a clean and sober living facility, not a halfway house. In a halfway house people come from prison to where they are supervised and integrated back into the community. That’s not what we are looking for. This is a place for people that have been through treatment and have a history of sobriety. We want them to have a place,” said Judge Winters.

The project states that it will be a level two sober living facility. Winters said the Board of Directors of The Light House, Inc. will chose who inhabits the house.

“I cannot be on the board,” said Winters, “I cannot be on any board because I am a judge. The board will, however, chose the people that will make good neighbors; people we think will help the neighbor-hood.”

“My point isn’t to make Ottawa County worse. I see it as an improvement to the neighborhood. The building has been im-proved and we will fix it up even more. It’s not been a great structure in the neighbor-hood until the last few years,” said Win-ters.

There were many questions and com-ments from the audience.

Where will they come from?From Ottawa County; they will come

from a situation where they have had treatment and have proven they can be sober.

For how long (referring to their sobriety)?I don’t know. We don’t have a board yet,

we don’t have regulations yet.Shouldn’t you form a board before you

buy property?We will form a board real soon. There are

20-30 people right now that meet and talk

about the project. I would encourage some of you to attend those meetings and let us know your opinions, maybe you could be a board member.

How can you apply for a grant without a plan?

We have a plan, but not specifics like how long a person has to be sober before entering the facility.

“If these people cannot find work, they will do community service. We want to help these people get a job and to be re-sponsible enough to get a job,” said Win-ters.

“There are no guarantees,” said Judge Winters. “These people are already in the community. The people in this facility will be supervised, they will be drug tested. I cannot ensure anyone’s safety at any time, but I wish I could.”

Dr. Holliday of the Erie and Ottawa Mental Health Board was also in atten-dance at the meeting and took the time to say a few words.

“There is a statewide movement towards residential facilities,” said Dr. Holliday. “If people are out of control, we need to put them into a place where we can keep them in control. This project takes property and makes it better and increases property value. We also want people to tax contrib-utors, not tax users.”

The treatment for the facility will be off-site. The facility will house ten people, all male, it will have five bedrooms, a shower, kitchen, bathrooms and a community liv-ing space.

“There will be restrictions on who can come into the facility,” said Judge Winters.

“I’m not concerned with who is allowed into the house, I care about these people walking around the neighborhood with my family,” said a concerned audience member.

“It’s not just these people causing crime in the community, it’s everyone. These people that would utilize this facility need hope. This place is their hope,” said a man who identified himself as a former addict who himself has gotten help and become sober for years.

“These people are seeking redemption,” said another person in the audience. “They want to prove to their family, that they have alienated, that they can be bet-ter. This place can be their start.”

“They are fathers and brothers looking for hope, they work jobs just like you,” said Judge Winters. “These people are every-where. These men are not going to be the ones that don’t want help.”

WHAT’S THE NEXT STEP?The Light House, Inc. will have to place

a bid on the property and see if it is ac-cepted. They will then go from there.

“Not everyone will be happy with this project right now, but my hope is that they will be happy when they see the results of the project,” said Judge Winters.

Judge Winters encouraged citizens to contact him with any concerns or ques-tions through his email: [email protected].

BY LINDA HUBER, LHS BOARD MEMBER

To preserve, promote, and advance the history of Lakeside, the Marblehead Pen-insula, and the Chautauqua Movement in America and to become a premier public resource for that history; that is the mis-sion of the Lakeside Heritage Society. Al-though you may not know much about the Society, they operate a Museum located at 238 Maple Avenue and an Archives Center directly west of the Museum at 324 Third Street. Both the museum and archives are open free of charge to the public with visiting hours listed on their website lakesideheritagesociety.org. But what information will you find there?

Built in 1875, the Museum is located in the original Lakeside Methodist Chapel. The Museum tells the story of Lakeside’s physical and spiritual development and displays artifacts, records, photographs, antiques, and memorabilia of Lakeside and the Marblehead Peninsula including businesses, schools, Johnson’s Island Civil War prison area, and local transportation via boat and railroad.

Since 1990, the Archives has operated within a cottage at 324 Third Street. When the cottage was built in 1949, no one could have imagined the amount of history the little house would contain; thousands of books, maps, postcards, and newspapers. Open for personal use and academic re-search, the Archives provides access to area history from 1873 covering Lake-side and the Peninsula. For example, the Lakeside Volunteer Fire Department may have responded to one of your needs. When it ceased to exist in 2013, its collec-tion of photographs and recorded history from 1905 to 2013 was donated to the Ar-chives.

The Lakeside Heritage Society programs are not limited to these two buildings. During the summer, the Society spon-sors free Sunday afternoon lectures open to the public. A few of the 2015 summer Sunday topics will include Marblehead’s

Life Saving Station 1874-1915, the Battle of Bataan with Involvement of Port Clin-ton Soldiers, and a Civil War topic to be announced. One of the purposes of the Society is to share the area’s rich history with the community and in this regard the Director of Operations, Gretchen S. Curtis, visits with Danbury Elementary School fourth graders monthly as they study Ohio history presenting local histo-ry topics like the Marblehead Lighthouse, Lafarge Quarry and winter activities on Lake Erie ice: harvesting ice, ice sailing and ice fishing.

The Society’s most ambitious project to date is addressing the preservation needs of the Archives. A recently completed Preservation Assessment highlighted a significant number of issues related to inadequate preservation and storage ca-pabilities. This resulted in the Society’s on-going $750,000 capital campaign to build a 21st century environmentally safe, fire-resistant building to house its historic documents and memorabilia as well as provide a research reading room for pa-tron use.

Public support to complete this project is being sought and there are a number of ways you may contribute: matching gifts, in-kind gifts, challenge grants, ap-preciated stock, and a monetary donation to a specific portion of the construction. The Society is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit cor-poration. It’s Heritage Hall Museum, Ar-chives Center and educational programs are financially supported by member-ships, donations, and fund-raising activi-ties. Membership is $20 individual and $30 family. If you are interested in learn-ing more about the new Archives Center, membership or any activities of the Lake-side Heritage Society, please visit their website at lakesideheritagesociety.org, contact Gretchen S. Curtis at 419-798-5519, or contact Carol Morgan, Lakeside Heritage Society Board President at 419-798-5217.

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. John Schaffner

Port Clinton Ford is a relatively small auto dealership, family ownedand operated. They generally average 18 to 25 car and truck sales permonth. In June, things changed...dramatically. They ran a series of fullpage ads in The Beacon and the results...42 car and truck sales in themonth of July. Shown in the photograph (l-r): Joe Mason, Parts Mgr.;Jeff Griffin, Sales; Doug and D’Ann Franck, and Bob Joseph, Service Mgr.So, print advertising is dead? Not for the folks at Port Clinton Ford.

Miss Ohio 2014, Mackenzie Bart, will be the hostess on a live broadcast of Port Clinton’s Wall-eye Drop over the OhioTV Network this year. She will be as-sisted by her ventril-oquism partner, Roxi. The Walleye Drop broadcast marks the debut live show over OhioTV which is headquartered here.

“OhioTV takes advantage of the latest in technology,” says show producer Kim Kindinger. “We will be live over the Roku system which has more than 10-million viewers. In addition, you can stream the Walleye Drop live from our web site over any iPhone or Android phone as well as over the internet.”

Mackenzie Bart is the reigning Miss Ohio and first-place winner in the talent division at last summer’s Miss America pageant. She is an honor student at Ohio State University studying atmospheric sciences with an eye toward developing a TV weather program for children when she graduates. She has already interned with The Weather Channel.

Miss Ohio is being hosted by the OhioTV Network. “We were lucky to get her for our live broadcast of the Walleye Drop,” says Kindinger. “We had to beat out the ‘Cleve-land Rocks’ event. Getting Mackenzie was a major accomplishment for us.”

Miss Ohio will be appearing and signing autographs at various locations during the

street celebration leading up to the Wall-eye Drop. Mackenzie has said she wants to meet and talk to as many local residents as possible.

OhioTV is a production of the X5 Net-work which is based in Ottawa Coun-ty. “We don’t have a brick-and-mortar home because we’re always on the road,” Kindinger said. “People have probably no-ticed our production van parked around the area.”

Live coverage of the Walleye Drops marks the grand opening of the OhioTV Network. In addition to live broadcasts, this network carries stories about people and events around the Buckeye State.

“We just got back from a swing through Bucyrus, Columbus, Crestline and Cleve-land,” says Kindinger. “In April we will be presenting a special on the route of the fu-neral train of President Abraham Lincoln through Ohio. We went looking for what remains from those days and found lots of interesting history.”

OhioTV uses video-on-demand tech-nology. Viewers can access programs whenever they want and from wherever they happen to be. It is not necessary to be sitting in front of a living room TV set to watch. The video is customized for all types of hand-held and desktop devices.

“We are also proud to be part of the Roku system,” says Kindinger. Roku uses a small set-top box to give viewers access to more than 1,500 channels over their home TV sets.

Thirty-four students of St. Joseph Church presented Nativity Play, A Christmas Story by Irish author Susan Gately. The play was directed by Halle Bruening and assisted by Maureen Ken-nedy. Dennis Kennedy designed the set and animals. Many other adults assisted as prompters, costumes, with lighting and with photography.

Fr. Daniel Borgelt welcomed the audi-ence at 4:00 PM on Sunday, Dec. 14th in the church.

The play began with Mary (played by Tess Humphrey) sewing her dress. The Angel Gabriel suddenly appeared an-nouncing the news of great joy, “You are going to have a child and he will be called Jesus!” As the play continued, the audience saw Joseph (played by Gavin Keller), Roman soldiers, angels, innkeep-ers, the Star, The Three Kings (Melchior, Caspar and Balthasar), shepherds and animals. The play concluded with all the children processing out of the church with electric candles singing “Silent Night.”

Students, kindergarten through sixth grade, performed as characters in the play. Upper grade students, mixed with some adults, sang in the choir with Ron Ossovicki as the organist.

A special thank you from St. Joseph Church to all those who helped make the play a success.

BY ROB ZAJACAlaina Schultz, 8th grader at Port

Clinton Middle School, broke the school record for diving in route to winning the Middle School Diving Championships Friday, December 19. Alaina starting diving last year in 7th grade and really excelled at the Port Clinton Dive Clinic over summer. Alaina relies on her parents and her broth-er Kyle for pushing her to do her best. Alaina has been working on bigger and hard-er dives to help raise her scores. Her newest dive is a front 2 somersault that she learned late in the season. The dive is her favorite dive because it has high degree of difficulty and it was the dive that broke the record. Alaina scored 130 points, break-ing the old record of 111 points from Andrea DeLeon in 2005. Coach Zajac has had some girls come just short of breaking the record in the last few years, and couldn’t be happier to see Alaina take the record down by such a large mar-gin. He is excited for her to continue her diving as a freshman next year and keep building her diving list with bigger and harder dives.

BY JOHN KOZAKThree factors decided the Danbury Lady Lakers 53-41 loss to visiting Northwood last

Friday and that was getting outscored by nine points in the 2nd quarter, the Lady Rang-ers stalling the ball for parts of the game and the most important was the knee injury to senior post Megan Stephens who could not play.

Other than that, the Lady Lakers played an even battle with the visiting Rang-ers. Stephanie Kukay paced the Lakers with 15 points followed by Alyx Perram’s 14.

The Junior Varsity girls won the opening game convincingly by a 38-10 margin. The next home game for the girls is Saturday, January 3, against Port Clinton at 1 p.m.

Danbury’s Stephanie Kukay tosses in two of her total 15 points surrounded by three Northwood defenders.

The largest crowd to date, two hundred and twenty-five local residents, attended the Port Clinton High School Holiday Breakfast with the Arts on Tuesday, De-cember 16. Residents of the Port Clinton City School District, age 60 and older, en-joyed a breakfast followed by special per-formances of the PCHS Band, Choirs, and Orchestra. The school district has hosted the event for twelve years and attendance grows each year. The event showcases Port Clinton High School’s talented stu-dents and is a way to give back to the local community.

The guests were welcomed by Patrick Adkins, Superintendent of Schools, and Gary Steyer, PCHS Principal. Following

the breakfast meal prepared by Nyla Den-man, Director of Food Services, guests were entertained by the Port Clinton High School choirs under the direction of Eric Watts. The orchestra under the direction of Brian Stitak also performed as well as the concert band directed by Rod Miller. More pictures of the event are posted at pccsd.net or the Port Clinton City School District Facebook page.

Students from Port Clinton High School organizations such as Leadership Coun-cil and National Honor Society helped to host the event. Local residents enjoyed the morning concert which has become a holiday tradition at Port Clinton High School.

Bataan Memorial Primary grade one students traveled around the world during their recent Christmas around the world les-son. Students made passports and their own briefcases to store their work. As they traveled to each first grade classroom they learned about geography and Christmas traditions in various countries. Students learned about the La Befana in Italy, that poinsettias come from Mexico, then matched French words with the corresponding picture in France. Other countries stu-dents studied were England, Germany and Sweden.

Christmas around the world

Paige Bradfield is busy matching French words with pic-tures during the first grade Christmas Around the World lesson at Bataan Memorial Primary School.

Each month a small group of students at Immaculate Conception School are given the opportunity to take their love of art and their enthusiasm for creativity a step further than in their classroom weekly art lesson.

Mrs. Joni Hoffman, ICS art teacher, offers an after school art club in which she selects a project that takes a little more time than her weekly classes allow for. On Wednesday, the art club students made beautiful trees by cutting in half a cardboard toilet paper rolls which they then used to paint with. Each tree was as different as those found at a tree farm, but each just as beautiful as the next.

Christmas Art Club at ICS

The children of Immaculate Concep-tion School did nothing less than bright-en the world with their annual Christ-mas program held Thursday, December 11, in the school gymnasium. The con-cert was performed by grades kindergar-ten through grade 5 and was attended by a full gymnasium of parents, grandpar-ents, family and friends.

During the first half of the perfor-mance, the children poured their hearts and souls into traditional favorites like Must Be Santa, Winter Wonderland and Jingle Bell Rock. Fifth grader Anabelle Barna sang a solo of the beautiful hymn Oh Holy Night during a short intermis-sion. The second half of the program included a Christmas pageant where ev-

ery child had a role in the portraying of the First Christmas. During the pageant portion of the show, narrator and fifth grader Ryan Zam told the story of the first Christmas while the students both acted and sang traditional Christmas hymns.

The Immaculate Conception Bell Choir added to the splendor of the evening by a wonderful performance of The Carol of the Bells and Joy to the World. The program was led by Mrs. Mary Krejci, Director of Music for the school, and ac-companist George Krejci. The spirit of Christmas hope was certainly present in the voices of the Immaculate Concep-tion School children on this very special evening.
