BY JASMINE CUPPOn Friday afternoon Lake Erie

Shores and Islands West ExecutiveDirector Larry Fletcher gave a presen-tation revealing the economic impactof the Battle of Lake Erie Bicentennialevents. To preface the presentation of

data, Fletcher asked Chairmen of thePerry Groups Bicentennial Commit-tee Dave Zavagno to say a few words,praising Zavagno as the one who hadthe vision and brought everything to-gether.

The vision we had started fouryears ago, said Zavagno, how canwe celebrate as a region and bring thewestern basin together along with theUnited States and Canada? He wenton to say that it was great to see thatthe communities did come togetherto bring national prominence to thearea.

As a token of appreciation, Zavangopresented Fletcher and Julene Market,Miller Boat Line Head of Marketing,with framed prints of the tall ships.

Fletcher called the Battle of LakeErie Bicentennial the largest multicommunity event ever in the LakeErie western basin. The event invitedpeople to learn about and appreciatethe Lake Erie Shores and Islands. Wedefinitely accomplished that, saidFletcher. The event has had a lasting

media impact, inviting visitors to re-member the western Lake Erie basin.

Miller Boat Line set an all time re-cord for passenger transportation toPut-In-Bay on Sept. 1, 2013. Marketsaid, commenting on the record, Ev-eryone was happy about the event.

We were busy but we were also pre-pared. Happy visitors led to a happyevent.

Peter Huston, a director/producerfor Film Affects who produced theBattle of Lake Erie bicentennial reen-actment documentary, said, We likedthe people who came to this area forthe event. They were appreciative ofthe history.

The following data is relative to Bat-tle of Lake Erie bicentennial spend-ing in Ottawa County and KelleysIsland in Erie County between thedates of Aug. 29-Sept. 10, 2013. Fig-ures are based on actual visitor ticketsale counts provided by the variousUnites States port communities andconservative estimates on numberof hotel, bed and breakfast, vacationrental room nights and campgroundoccupancy.

Visitor spending calculations arebased on the Ohio Office of Tour-isms 2013 multiplier of $108 a dayfor a day trip visitor and $321 a dayfor an overnight visitor.

People from all over the countryand all over the world attended thebicentennial events in our area. Doc-umented, people came from: Alaska,California, Colorado, Florida, Indi-ana, Illinois, Kentucky, Maryland,Michigan, Minnesota, New Mexico,

New York, Pennsylvania, Texas, Utah,Virginia, Washington, WashingtonD.C., Wisconsin, Wyoming, Canada,England, Germany and Italy.

BY DONNA LUEKE

This week Cathy Allen of Marblehead,representing the Ottawa National Wild-life Refuge Association (ONWRA), is inWashington to take part in the Land andWater Conservation Fund Coalition fly-in. Allen, former executive director ofthe Ohio League of Conservation Voters,is joined by Matt Misicka, Vice Presidentof the Ohio Conservation Federation andChair of the Ohio Advisory Committee for

the Bull Moose Sportsmens Alliance.The AgendaAfter a briefing by the Land and Water

Conservation Fund Coalition, Allen andMisicka are visiting with their congressio-nal representatives to garner support fortheir mutual concerns.

Allens wish for the trip is to let ourfriends know what they can do to help us.Though she has no specific expectations,Allen will be meeting with Sen. SherrodBrown, Sen. Rob Portman, Rep. Bob Lattaand Rep. Marcy Kaptur to get legislativebacking for funding for maintenance andoperation of ONWR. The recent federalgovernment shutdown and sequester haveseriously affected programs at ONWR.

The value of the RefugeA report released last week by the U.S.

Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) showsthat national wildlife refuges are a goodinvestment for American taxpayers andboost local economies. The Banking OnNature study shows that for every $1 Con-gress provides in funding to run the Na-tional Wildlife Refuge System on average$4.87 is returned to local communities.

Conservation conserves more thanwildlife, it is conserving our tax dollars; animportant value for Americans of all po-litical stripes said David Houghton, Presi-dent of the National Wildlife Refuge Asso-ciation (NWRA). There is nothing more

conservative than conservation or moreprogressive than preserving our naturalworld for future generations.

The needThe Refuge System is facing the loss of

more than 450 staff positions by the end ofnext year should Congress continue slash-ing their budget, said Houghton. Ref-uges will be forced to eliminate popularhunting and wildlife watching programs,end volunteer efforts due to lack of staff

to provide oversight and many will closetheir doors entirely. These short sightedbudget cuts will ultimately hurt not onlywildlife, but local economies that dependon these unique federal lands.

In a statement drafted by the Board ofDirectors of the Ottawa National WildlifeRefuge Association, the Board calls on na-tional leaders to ensure that a budget ispassed in sufficient time to avoid a repeatgovernment shutdown. The recent lapsein appropriations had significant negativeimpact on the Refuge Complex and on ourAssociation.

The statement further details that nega-tive impact, including:

Closure of the Refuge and Visitors Cen-

ter, prohibiting the public from accessingtheir land for any purpose, including ob-servation of migratory birds, waterfowland deer hunting, and school programs.

Lapse in vital research as migratorybirds are caught, weighed and measured,and tracked over the course of years.

Lapse in maintenance projects on theRefuge, including fall activities such as in-vasive species control, habitat restoration,winterization of outbuildings and regularmaintenance of equipment.

Closure of the ONWRA Bookstore, lo-cated in the Visitors Center, diminishingtheir nonprofit associations annual rev-enues.

Inability of Associa-

tion members and volun-teers to access the office,records, mail, or computerequipment, causing delaysin fund deposits, membercommunications and allongoing projects.

BY DONNA LUEKE

75% of those thatcome before OttawaCounty Probate CourtJudge Bruce Wintersfor a criminal offensetest positive for drugs.A majority of thosetest positive for opi-

ates, most often pre-scription drugs. Opi-ate addiction has quadrupled in 15 years, andOttawa County is no exception. Accordingto Winters, the problem is county-wide andcrosses all social and economic classes.

The problem of opiate addictionThe problem of opiate addiction often be-

gins with a prescription from an emergencyroom, dentist, family doctor or pain man-agement clinic, and can escalate to an addic-tion that costs up to $200 a day. This causesa great deal of collateral social and economicdamage, according to Winters, and at timesresults in the person switching to heroin as acheaper alternative to avoid being dope sickfrom withdrawal.

The role of the courts3,000 drug tests per year are being admin-

istered in Ottawa County. The Court ordersdrug tests when a person enters the court sys-tem and random drug tests for those on pro-bation. For those who test positive for drugs,a short-term stay in the Ottawa County Jail isthe first step.

The next step, if there is a positive drug testwhile the person is on probation, is the In-tensive Outpatient Program (IOP), a 16 weektreatment plan of three hours of classes threedays a week and regular consultation with amental health professional. This seems to beworking significantly better than the locked-in treatment program, says Winters.

If an addict chooses not to help themselvesand follow the IOP program, a Departmentof Corrections prison is the next step. Therecidivism rate for those sent to prison is95%, according to Winters.

Drug CourtOn Nov. 7, Ottawa County began a new ini-

tiative, a Drug Court. The Court is for high-risk, high-need offenders. An individual canask for Drug Court or be nominated by afamily member or by their attorney. Thosewith a drug or an alcohol addiction can ap-ply. Each Thursday, there is a sit-down withprobation officer, treatment officer and drug

court co-ordinator to address progress andshort-comings.

The Drug Court program is 66 weeks long,the minimum requirement set by the OhioSupreme Court for a step-down program,based on research that 18 months of treat-ment is required for a person to stay cleanand sober.

Judge Winters explained the elements of

the first sixteen weeks of the Drug Courtprogram: Enrollment in the I.O.P. program Drug tests three times a week AA meetings three times a week Meeting with probation officer three

times a week Community service Work on a G.E.D. degree or equivalent

if indicated Show that prescribed medication is be-

ing taken Establish a stable home environment A program with a mental health profes-

sional if indicated

The best chance for recovery is when theperson has family support, emphasized

Winters.Quest for Clean and Sober LivingWinters has identified another need--a

clean and sober living environment for therecovering addict. There are no such placesin Ottawa County. He envisions a Clean andSober Living House that is peer-monitored,not court-mandated, with a salaried housemanager. The objectives of the Clean and So-ber Living House would be sobriety, mentalhealth, physical health and spiritual health.

Since the Clean and Sober Living Housewould include what Winters sees as a key ele-ment, that of spiritual health, it would needto be funded by private individuals, busi-nesses and civic organizations. He sees it as anatural mission for Ottawa County churches.

The first step in setting up a Clean and So-ber Living House is to establish a committeeof six or more people willing to make a year-long commitment to find the funding and setup a Board for the House.

To helpThose who are interested in more informa-

tion about the Clean and Sober Living Ini-tiative, and those interested in having JudgeWinters speak to their organization about theInitiative, call 419.734.6790 or email [email protected].

On Tuesday, Oct. 29, at 10 a.m. the PortClinton Chamber of Commerce held a rib-bon cutting for Goodwill Industries DayHabilitation facility located at 205 SE Ca-tawba Rd. The Day Habilitation programsare offered in Erie and Ottawa counties for

people with disabilities to work in a closelysupervised environment. Workers sortdonations (such as baseball cards, jewelryand toys) and bag or organize to sell in theGoodwill stores. Workers also scan donat-ed books and enter them into a computerdatabase so the books can be sold on Ama-zon or Half.com.

Its a great work environment, saidGoodwill CEO Eric Kochendoerfer. Weare very excited for this location to open.

All of the donations are sold, cleaned, re-used or recycled. Even if shirts are torn orhave holes and cannot be sold in the store,they are shredded and used as rags forcleaning. Books that have been donatedthat cannot be sold are shredded and re-cycled. This program is a minimal waste

program and is green friendly.Ninety five cents to every dollar goesback into the industries and back intoprograms like this. It happens because ofthe generosity of the communities that weserve, said Kochendoerfer.

For more information on Goodwill In-dustries or the Day Habilitation programcontact the local main office in Sanduskyat 419-625-4744 or visit www.goodwill-sandusky.org.

With the continued support of the com-munity, third graders at Bataan Elemen-

tary participated in oral health educationprovided by the Dental Center of North-west Ohio on Oct. 30. Each child receivedan apple, generously donated by BergmanOrchard as well as a toothbrush kit assem-bled by the special education class at PortClinton High School.

Smile Express, the Dental Centers of-fice on wheels, visits Bataan Elementaryroutinely and the Sutton center monthly.The mobile office provides a full range ofdental services to persons of all ages withincome at or below the 300% of the federalpoverty guidelines.

request additional locations by contactingthe Dental Center.

Dental care remains the largest unmethealth care need for Ohios citizens regard-less of race or ethnicity.

BY YANEEK SMITHUnfortunately, all good things must come to an

end, and sadly Oak Harbor found that out Tuesdaynight as Gates Mills Hawken defeated the Rockets,4-1, in a Division III State Semifinal at Cedar PointStadium in Sandusky.

Throughout much of the match, the Hawks (16-1-5) utilized their speed and were able to consistentlypush the ball into the Oak Harbor zone, scoring twogoals in each half to take a 2-0 before the Rockets

rallied to cut the deficit in half on a goal by Alexa Weiswith 12:10 remaining in the first half.

In the second frame, Hawken scored twice, at 32:29 and19:30, to put the match away. Oak Harbor (19-2-1) hadtwo chances to tie it early in the second half, but AmandaHetricks free kick from about 50 feet out was grabbedby the goalkeeper and Emma Barneys straightaway shotfrom roughly 35 feet away sailed just over the crossbar.From that point forward, the Hawks were able to movethe ball and got off a number of shots. Had it not been forthe play of goalkeeper Ivy Martin and an opportunisticdefense, Hawken couldve easily scored 7-8 goals.

The Hawks, who lost in the state semifinal last year, willplay the winner of Hamilton Badin High and MiddletownBishop Fenwick.

(Hawken) was faster than us, Oak Harbor head coachRenee Goldstein said. They won the 50-50 balls (and) I

think our girls played a little conservative.Its disappointing (to lose), but Im proudof the girls. How can you not be proud? Wehad a great season and we (were) the lastpublic school in the tournament.

It was the best season for a program, nowin its 11th season, that has been incrediblydominant. Winners of six consecutive San-dusky Bay Conference titles, the Rocketshad made it to the district final in five of thelast 10 years before finally getting over thehump with a 5-0 victory over Woodmoreon Oct. 26.

All season, our goal was to make it to the

state final after losing in the state semifi-nal last season, said Hawken head coachStan Shulman. We knew Oak Harbor wasvery good offensively and we felt that if wecould limit them (on that end), wed beable to score some goals. But their goaliewas amazing, shes a very nice player. Theyre a very youngteam and they will do well (in the future).

Sadly, this was the final game for three seniors, Hetrick,Hannah Hess and Nikki Weis, three girls that have beeninstrumental in helping to lift the team to new heights.

One of our goals was to get past districts because (theprogram) had never gotten this far, said Barney, who as-sisted on Weis goal and was named the SBC Player of theYear for her efforts this season. We have a lot of mixedemotions right now, but were very happy with what wedid. This was a really good season and we should be proud

of this.It was a special experience for the Benton-Carroll-Salemcommunity, one that has seen few teams advance this farin tournament play before. Oak Harbor has never had a

team win a state championship, though the wrestling pro-gram has two second-place finishes (2008, 10), the boysbasketball team was the runner up in 1983 and the foot-ball team advanced to the Final Four twice in 99 and 06.As they have throughout the tournament, the fans cameout to support their Rockets.

Our parents have been there along the way, said Gold-stein. The community has been great people were verysupportive and had so many signs made. And I have somegirls that played for me before that are here. I think werepresented the community well. Its great to be from asmall town because this is what you get (from people).

On the bright side, with all but three players returning tothe team next year, the future looks quite promising.

Im ready for everything good that will come our way,Barney said.

ROCKETS from 2B

BY YANEEK SMITH

Tate Haar was the best player on one of theareas best teams this year, and for his efforts, hewas named the Sandusky Bay Conferences Play-

er of the Year.This year was a dream season for the Oak Har-bor Rockets, and Haar was instrumental in lead-ing the Rockets to their third league title in six

years, a sectional championship, an undefeatedregular season and a 16-1-1 record.

Unfortunately, Oak Harbors dream seasonended prematurely in the Division II DistrictSemifinals with a 2-1 loss in overtime to Maumee(12-6-1), a team that featured Michigan State re-cruit Alex Wagner. Wagner scored both goals inthe defeat of the Rockets. (As for the Panthers,they advanced to the regional semifinals, losing,1-0, in double overtime to St. Marys Memorial.)

After earning all-league and all-district honorslast season, Haar was even better this year, scor-ing 16 goals and setting a single-season team

record with 28 assists. He was instrumental inhelping lead his team to a 15-0-1 regular seasonmark, one that saw Oak Harbor storm throughthe conference and dominate its opponents.

Both forwards, junior Andy Burnette (26 goals,six assists) and senior Connor Eli (23 goals, 16assists), combined for 49 goals, providing close

to half of the teams scoring. Their ability towork well with Haar, who moved from forwardto midfielder before last season to help the team,was the key to creating such a potent offense.

For his efforts, Haar, along with teammateBrandon Schimming, earned first-team NorthCentral Ohio Scholastic Soccer Coaches Asso-ciation (NCOSSCA) honors. Burnette and TylerSievert were named to the second team and Eliand Tim Poiry were recognized with honorable-mention status.

We wanted to win the league title and I thinkwe had a pretty good idea that we could do it,Haar said. It was one game at a time gettingthrough the tournament and unfortunately, wedidnt get to go where we wanted, but it was stilla good season.

Haar also spoke about the teams impeccablechemistry, something that was vital in helping tothe Rockets success.

As a team, you have to be close if you want to

win big games and our team got really close, hesaid. There was nobody on the team that gotaway from each other. We all stay close, and thatswhat keeps a team together.

Its a great accomplishment, Haar said. Wefinished with the best record in Oak Harbor His-tory and tied the most wins in school history.

On Saturday in Cincinnati, thePort Clinton boys U10 soccer teamplayed in the Ohio area state tour-nament in Cincinnati. The scoreafter double overtime was Fairfield1, Port Clinton 1. The teams thenwent to a shoot-out that Fairfield

won. The Port Clinton team lost,and it won. It lost the game tonumber one seeded Fairfield and itwon enriching experiences and les-sons. During regulation play, a PortClinton goal was disallowed on acontroversial off-sides call. In the

shoot-out, there wasanother controversialand game-decidingcall.

By all reports coach-es Abby and SteveLukac and the boysparents made thechoice to support andencourage the boysthrough the disap-pointment, ratherthan dwell on thecontroversy. After thegame sponsor Dana

Stahl provided a pizza dinner forthe team. Then the boys were reada letter from Port Clinton Redskinhead soccer coach Paco Romerocongratulating them on making itto state, followed by the presenta-tion of a Port Clinton Redskin soc-cer jersey for each player.

These future Redskins came awaywith the experience of a memora-ble season, a memorable weekendin Cincinnati, Redskin jerseys, andmemorable soccer and life lessons.

The so-called experts

are simply misinformed!Newspapers are dead?Over the last 15 years, since the proliferations of the internet, paid circulationnewspapers have seen their subscriptions drop dramatically, up to 8% per year. Thatis why you hear Newspapers are dead. Thats the bad news. The good news isFREE community papers, like The Beacon, have had ZERO reduction in circulationand readership! Our latest audit shows that nearly 80% of the households who getThe Beacon READ The Beacon. PLUS The Beacon is read by over 2 individuals perhousehold. So, while the daily papers have suffered, the FREE communities weeklieslike The Beacon have thrived. And better yet The Beacons Web Site just gets betterand 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 ... dont believe it! Community papers arealive and well, thank you! And our Web Sites are great as well because we dont haveto worry about losing readership to our own Web Site. All you have to do is sit backand read your weekly Beacon and stay informed about the good news happeningevery day.
