The Beacon | July 2, 2015

• Ohio 5th District Congressman Bob Latta has been selected to fire the First Shot downrange at this Mon-day’s annual First Shot Ceremony at Camp Perry, officially opening the 2015 National Rifle and Pistol Championships. No doubt, driving through the area during the next six weeks, you will see license plates from all over the United States. Welcome to all the participants in the 2015 National Matches!

• While the winds were howling out of the northeast, and the waters of the Portage River were beginning to pour over the sheeting onto the land, 163 mem-bers of Port Clinton Yacht Club met to discuss and decide the fate of their 45 year old swimming pool. They had already lost 3 trees on the property from the winds on Saturday from the high winds. In spite of all that going on around them, the membership approved the $790,000 project to rebuild the swim-ming pool in a near unanimous fashion.

• In spite of the nasty weather last Saturday, a good number of customers who participated in last week-end’s Parade of Homes reported good success and high traffic for the event. Mary Alice and I made the Marblehead side of the tour on Sunday. I was con-cerned that we would be dealing with a lot of angry folks who invested in this event, but I found that just the opposite was true. Saturday’s weather made it impossible for folks to get out on their boats, so many took the tour in spite of the weather. Now let’s hope that some of that exposure of beautiful homes, villas and condominiums results in a few new folks investing in living the lifestyle afforded on our two favorite peninsulas.

• Our “Find Wylie” winner this week is Barb Dwyer of Lexington, Ohio who was selected from 143 en-tries who found our friendly fish hiding in the ad for American Family Insurance on page 8A in last week’s Beacon. Barb wins our weekly $20 gift card from Friendship Food Stores, and also a nice door-mat from Cptn’s Custom Carpets at Fort Firelands. We will hide Wylie again this week, so if you find him, drop off an entry form at our office in the Bea-con Place Business Center or click on the Find Wylie Icon at our website thebeacon.net.

• The Catawba Island Volunteer Fire Department is in search of men and women to join their ranks as EMTs and Firefighters. No Experience is required and all training is provided. Their meetings and training sessions generally take place every Mon-day at 7 p.m. Interested individuals are encouraged to stop by and pick up an application. You can also look them up online at CIVFD.org.

• And speaking about the CIVFD, the annual Catawba Island Volunteer Fire Department’s Chicken Barbe-cue will be held on Saturday, July 11, at the Fire Sta-tion on Cemetery Rd from 3:30 to 7:30 p.m. Based on past experience, I suggest getting there EARLY! Their dinners include corn on the cob, baked beans, dessert and more.

• The folks at Otterbein North Shore Retirement Community have a bunch of activities planned for July. First will be their iPad Classes on Friday, July 10, starting at 10 a.m. Their North Shore Car Show is back and will be held Sunday, July 12, from noon to 4 p.m. They will host singers from the Fostoria Lake Plains Barbershop Chorus for a free concert on Monday, July 13, at 5:30 p.m. Their monthly Break-fast of Champions will be Thursday, July 16, at 9 a.m. and will feature Danbury Patrolman and K-9 officer Josh Young with his partner Jo-Jo. Otterbein will host the Marblehead Chamber Business After Hours on Thursday, July 16, from 5-7 p.m. On Monday, July 20, the Port Clinton Rotary Club’s Perch Wagon will pull up to Otterbein North Shore for a special lunch op-portunity. If you didn’t know, Otterbein North Shore is celebrating their 20th Anniversary in 2015.

• 4th of July is this Saturday! For those of you who love fireworks, I have great news…you will be able to view fireworks displays on Thursday, Friday and Saturday this weekend in Ottawa County. Thursday night will be the Catawba Island display off CIC. Friday night is the big display in Oak Harbor, and Saturday night there will be displays at Port Clinton, Put-in-Bay and Lakeside. Bang, Bang, BOOM!!!

Tanks, bombers and pyrotechnics bring spark to the CMP’s 2015 First Shot CeremonyBY ASHLEY BRUGNONE, CMP WRITER

Join the Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP) on the world-famous Camp Perry ranges in Port Clinton, for another thrilling display of live World War II history during the First Shot Ceremony of the National Trophy Pistol and Rifle Matches on July 6. There will be reenactors, ground vehicles, air support and exhilarating pyrotechnics on Rodriguez Range for the time-honored opening ritual.

The celebration beings at 9:30 a.m., with the help of the 122nd Army Band that will play American fanfare for assembling guests. The ceremony will formally start at 10 a.m. as First Shot Speaker, Congressman Robert Latta of Ohio’s Fifth Congressional District, delivers his speech and fires the traditional first shot.

Throughout the ceremony, scheduled flyovers by Yankee Lady, a fully-restored WWII B-17G bomber, and a visit from a WWII U.S. Navy TBM Avenger aircraft, will pay tribute to the brave men and women who fought for our freedom during the second World War. A demonstration of Thunderbolt, a WWII M4 Sherman Tank, will also entertain the crowd, along with a static display of eight WWII vehicles.

In addition to the TBM aircraft, the Lib-erty Aviation Museum in Port Clinton will also provide German reenactors, vehicles and anti-aircraft guns. Kevin Winters, mil-itary historian, will provide G.I. reenactors.

New this year, the ceremony will give special recognition to the hard working women of WWII with a Rosie the Riveter reenactor. The 555th Honors Detachment from Wooster will serve as color guard, while U.S. Navy (Ret.) Captain Pat Thomp-son will bring in the Wolverine Division of the US Naval Sea Cadets of Monroe, MI, to serve as honor guards and reenactors.

To add the feel along with the look of WWII, Robert Gillmor from Gillmor Ord-nance will provide pyrotechnics both on the range leading up to the parade ground and will detonate the ceremonial first shot target. Guests should be prepared for a few exciting moments of booms, smoke, fire and amazement.

The First Shot Ceremony is free and open to the public. All are encouraged to attend on the day of celebration. For more information on the National Matches, visit thecmp.org/competitions/cmp-national-matches/.

Children entering kindergarten in the fall of 2015 were invited to attend Port Clinton Safety Town June 23-26 at the Port Clinton Fire Department and North Central EMS station. This year, 28 chil-dren attended Safety Town learning in-valuable safety lessons from those who know safety the best: emergency services professionals.

On Tuesday Saergent Josh Nelson and K9 Spike from the Port Clinton Police De-partment and Ohio State Highway Patrol-man Zender spoke to the children about stranger danger, how and when to dial 911 and they also get to play with Spike.

On Wednesday, Port Clinton Fire Chief Kent Johnson and members of the fire de-partment spoke to the children about fire safety and prevention. They learned les-sons like get out, stay out; stay low and go; and stop, drop and roll. Children also got to go in the fire department’s smoke house to practice what to do in an emergency. And, the best part of the day, children got to shoot the fire hose.

Thursday North Central EMS and Ohio Department of Natural Resources officers talked to the children about water safety. Children got to learn about different kinds of life jackets and they got to tour emer-gency service vehicles.

Friday was bus safety day. Miss B the bus driver came to teach the children the

safest way to ride the school bus and then they went on a ride. When the children returned from their bus ride, their family and friends were there waiting for them and a Safety Town graduation ceremony took place to honor all graduates.

Students attending Safety Town were: Bristol Bazar, Spencer Beaver-Tyson, Levi Below, Clara Blatt, Jeven Buehler, Brayden Busby, Alexander DeFreitas, Arianna Dunson, Alexa Evans, Breanna Evans, Clark Fry, Decklyn Garrett, Lyric Jackson, Isabel Jeckering, Maya Klimen-tov, Lilly Kline, Landon Leis, Ahna Leigh Lerch, Evan Lovitt, Jaelynn Mazur, Chris-tian Miller, Grady Northrop, Cohen Roys-ter, Caden Smuniewski, Kerstin Thomp-son, Isabella Uebbing, Thaddeus Wierzba and Matthew Winters.

“We have had true life lessons that have come from Safety Town,” said Fire Chief Johnson. “One of the lessons we learn is do you know what an emergency is where we teach the kids when and how to dial 911. A little girl, who attended Safety Town, was at her grandma’s house and grandma fell down the stairs. She knew exactly what to do. That is really cool. To get these mes-sages across even to a couple kids makes it fun.”

“We keep it fun here, it’s not all doom and gloom,” said Fire Chief Johnson. “We don’t want them to be afraid.”

Improvements in the effectiveness of prostate cancer treatments are changing the outlook for men diagnosed with the cancer for the better.

Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men, and the second leading cause of cancer death among men in the United States. One in six men are likely to be diagnosed in their lifetime; most cases are found in men over age 65.

Today’s prostate cancer treatments include surgery, radiation and drugs that slow cancer cell growth. The safety and effectiveness of these treatments are steadily improving.

“Each treatment has its own benefits and risks, and choosing the right approach can be complicated,” says Phillip Engeler, MD, a Cleveland Clinic radiation oncologist who sees patients at Cleveland Clinic Cancer Centers in Sandusky. “Narrowing treatment options depends on the stage of the cancer and how quickly cancer cells are growing.”

In some cases, no treatment might be the most appropriate first step. Called “Active Surveillance,” this strategy allows men with early-stage or very slow-growing prostate cancer to avoid treatment and its side effects. The patient’s cancer is regularly monitored so that action can be taken if the cancer grows or spreads.

Radiation therapy is a treatment option that kills cancer cells and shrinks tumors. Radiation can be produced from a machine outside the body (external radiation) or by putting materials (often referred to as radiation “seeds”) that produce radiation into the area where the cancer cells are found (internal radiation or brachytherapy). Radiation oncologists should work closely with a patient’s urologist to ensure the right course of radiation therapy is provided.

“Unlike many cancers, prostate cancer usually allows the patient a significant window of time to consider their options,” says Dr. Engeler. “Make sure you understand all of the information before you and your physician agree on a course of treatment.”

For an appointment with Dr. Engeler or another Cleveland Clinic Cancer Centers oncologist in Sandusky or Clyde, please call 419.626.9090.

Men have more options in treatment of prostate cancer.

At the regularly scheduled Port Clinton City Council meeting held Tuesday, June 23, at 7:30 p.m. in the City council cham-bers, public comment was taken over by three citizens concerned about the license agreement that was on the agenda that night. Public comment, which is held at the beginning of the city council meeting before council votes on ordinances, was given by Rick Noderer, Rich Norgard and John Coppeler.

The Right of Entry and License Agree-ment between the City and the Port Clin-ton Lighthouse Conservancy was dis-cussed and presented to the Parks and Recreation Committee where it was sug-gested that the license agreement go for-ward for a vote at City council.

Noderer said that it was worthless to have such an agreement before council. “The lighthouse is a piece of history, but apparently you don’t feel that way,” said Noderer. He also implied that the City felt that placing the lighthouse would interfere with the development at Waterworks Park and that’s why he felt the process was talk-ing so long.

Next to speak in public comment was Norgard, President of the Port Clinton Lighthouse Conservancy. “I sent an email so hopefully you understand our objec-tions (with the agreement),” said Norgard.

“I want to talk about the people who have made this possible,” said Norgard. He went on to talk about how Darrell Brand, cur-rent owner of the lighthouse, has made it his legacy to see this project completed. He spoke about the volunteers who restored the lighthouse. “We have spent $34,000 on the restoration, but that doesn’t add up when you take into account the dedica-tion, work and sweat given.”

“This is a flawed contract,” said Norgard, “and it pains me to say because we have come so far.” Norgard then called the cur-rent agreement offensive.

“We would like to see some commitment from the City that seems more than a busi-ness transaction. If we are all acting in good faith, then give us a sign you value the lighthouse,” said Norgard.

After Norgard’s time was up, Ward 4 City Councilman Gabe Below wanted to ask Norgard a few questions.

Below referenced the email that Norgard sent to all of City council. “In your email it states that you anticipate obtaining a his-torical marker for the lighthouse. Can you discuss that?” asked Below.

“This is the only remaining pier head lighthouse left on the Great Lakes. Once the lighthouse is placed, even though it’s not in its original location, it will probably get approval for a historical marker,” said Norgard.

“Do you know of a timeline that would happen with that?” asked Below.

“I don’t know,” said Norgard.Below then referenced the statement

of intent that Norgard had sent with the email. Below asked Norgard to explain how the lighthouse will be maintained.

Norgard explained that the conservancy has created a manual outlining mainte-nance. “There will be occasional painting needed, etc. The plan is to keep $10,000 in the bank at all times for maintenance,” said Norgard.

“What about a long term plan? What happens when the money runs out?” asked Below.

“We currently have $30,000 in the bank,” said Norgard. “We plan to get more dona-tions and we also plan to charge for tours. We don’t expect funding to be an issue.”

“I look forward to seeing it out there,” said Below. “Thanks for your email.”

With no further questions, Coppeler was next with his public comment. “I got involved to help the conservancy obtain their 501C3. The negotiation progress be-tween the City and the conservancy has been challenging and frustrating,” said Coppeler.

Coppeler said that he felt the legislation seemed “strange”. “I have been represent-ing clients for 40 years and I have not seen something like this before. You (City coun-cil) are being asked to vote on something that the Lighthouse Conservancy doesn’t approve of.”

He then outlined the problems that the conservancy had with the agreement and said that the conservancy didn’t have a chance to actually meet with council about the agreement.

“Council should do something posi-tive for Port Clinton,” said Coppeler. “You

Ritter makes live art at Port Clinton Art WalkOn Thursday, June 25, inclement weath-

er moved Matt Ritter’s live art show from Friendship Park to the Clinton House where he painted a portrait on Johnny Cash on a 7’ by 8’ canvas that he con-structed. This event was in conjunction with the Greater Port Clinton Area Arts Council’s fourth Thursday Art Walk.

Ritter, who has been painting for 15 years, said that he tries to be resourceful with this art. “I don’t have the time and money to get really good materials, so I try to do good with what I have.” That he does.

By using materials like donated, old house paint and old barn doors, Ritter cre-

ates beautiful works of art that don’t just seem like someone just doing good with what they have; it’s more.

When asked why he prefers portraits Ritter said because it is a challenge.

“It’s not like there’s a scene with a front, back and foreground; when I want to cre-ate depth it is a real challenge,” said Ritter. “Using colors, shading and lighting makes me have to create that depth.”

Ritter encourages fans of his art to come have a beer with him at the Catawba Is-land Brewery where he also works. Ritter said “some of my best works are on tap.”

shouldn’t vote for this legislation as it stands. I hope you have the courage to vote this down, it is flawed. Do it the right way like the conservancy did when they restored the lighthouse.”

Council-at-large Lisa Sarty then asked to address the conservancy. “It’s our goal to have this lighthouse out there, I feel that it would be a great addition to what we already have going on downtown. We are trying to make this thing move too. We are not trying to stop this from happening.”

Next, President of Council Linda Hartlaub made a state-ment. “This was put into the Parks and Rec committee

by me, not the mayor. The mayor cannot put things into committee. It was moved to committee to get things mov-ing.”

“You are making a lot of assumptions that we don’t want it and that we don’t want it because of development,” Hartlaub said to the conservancy. “We have stated this to you many times that this is not the case. We are making an agreement with an organization that doesn’t even own the building. There has to be compromise.”

The lighthouse license agreement that was under the new readings of ordinances and resolutions in the agenda was moved to a second reading. The second reading of the license agreement will take place at the next Port Clinton City Council meeting Tuesday, July 14.

The Life on Lake Erie photo contest is an opportunity for amateur photographers, age 18 and older, to reveal their passion for one of Ohio’s most valuable and dynam-ic natural features, Lake Erie. Photographs taken between Aug. 1, 2014, and July 31, 2015, in and around the Lake Erie watershed can be submitted to the OLEC through July 31.

Winning photographs will be displayed at various events and through OLEC social media. The photographs may also be used in Commission publications to promote Lake Erie.

To enter send a compact disc (CD) with the electronic image file and a completed entry form to the Ohio Lake Erie Commission, 111 E. Shoreline Drive, Sandusky, OH 44870. Entry forms are available at lakeerie.ohio.gov. Par-ticipants may also submit images and electronic form via email to [email protected]. Submissions must be the original work of the photographer. Black and white and color photographs will be accepted. Digitally altered photos will not be accepted.

OLEC was established for the purpose of preserving Lake Erie’s natural resources, protecting the quality of its waters and ecosystem and promoting economic de-velopment in the region.

Additional members include the directors of the state departments of Transportation, Health, Development Services, Agriculture, Natural Re-sources and four additional members appointed by Gov-ernor John Kasich.

BY HEIDI HUGHES

There are more than 200 orchid species in North Amer-ica. One of them, the eastern prairie fringed orchid, is found in only 8 states, including Ohio. Back in 2008, US Fish and Wildlife Service biologists found nearly 200 eastern prairie fringed orchid plants, the largest flowering population in the state, at the Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge in Oak Harbor.

Eastern prairie fringed orchids are declining primar-ily due to loss of habitat (drainage and conversion of wetlands), competition from non-native species and over-collecting. These orchids are nearly impossible to transplant and grow in gardens because of their unique relationship with a special kind of soil fungi they need in order to grow.

Eastern prairie fringed orchids are on the list of feder-ally threatened species because they are likely to become endangered in the future.

Restoring and protecting threatened and endangered species is the primary objective of the US Fish and Wild-life Service’s endangered species program. The program worked with Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge biologists on a plan to increase the population of rare orchids at the only National Wildlife Refuge in Ohio.

How’d they do? This year the numbers of plants in-creased to nearly 2,000!

Now’s the time to see them. They flower in late June and early July and are pollinated by night-flying hawk-moths. Their seed capsules are dispersed by the wind from late August to September.

If you see one of these plants, please resist the tempta-tion to get close. Enjoy them from a distance with bin-oculars and a camera (with a telephoto lens). Please stay on the road and paths at the refuge.

For more information about Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge, stop by the Visitor Center at 14000 West State Route 2 in Oak Harbor, or call 419-898-0014. The Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge Visitor Center is open every day, except Thanksgiving and Christmas, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge Association is looking for volunteers to build and/or monitor bird nest boxes. No experience necessary. They will train you. For more information, call 419-898-0014, extension 13.

Marblehead Village SquareBY COUNCILMAN DUANE MYERS

With summer officially arriving, I’m sure you’ve noticed the pedestrian crosswalk signs that were placed in May. Most of the feedback council and administration received thus far has been positive. When you venture to cities and villages that have a large number of patrons walking and supporting downtown businesses, you will notice the newest trend in Main Street revitalization. As Ohio Re-vised Code chapter 4511 states, pedestrians have the right-of-way within crosswalks.

In June, Marblehead Village Council meetings moved from Thursday’s to the second and fourth Wednesday. With the number of activities and events in everyone’s

lives, we felt Wednesdays were conducive to the sched-ules of residents and council, without interfering with other meetings and school schedules when it resumes.

As a reminder, after Labor Day the new bike path con-struction will start. While driving around the village dur-ing season I’m reminded of how important, not just for safety, but also convenience this new venture will be. It was made possible with grants from the Ohio Department of Transportation and will be an asset to the village. With a completion date before November 1, we feel the con-struction impact should be minimized.

If you have questions about what’s happening in the vil-lage, please contact anyone from council and get involved.

The Marblehead Summerfest was canceled Saturday and Sunday due to inclement weather. Here the tent damage is seen. Photo by John Kozak.

Nehls family entertainment at Riverview Healthcare Campus

No matter what Dad’s favorite type of mu-sic was, he enjoyed the Father’s Day Cel-ebration held on Sunday June 2, at Ottawa County Riverview Healthcare Campus. The music variety was compliments of the Ne-hls family of Catawba. Dr. Robert Nehls en-tertained with his smooth vocals on country music, even taking a request for King of the Road.

Dr. Nehls was also joined by his grandchil-dren. Granddaughters, Brooke and Rebecca, joined their grandfather in special selec-tions of Grandpa and You Are My Sunshine. The girls turned up the tempo with the song, Achy Breaky Heart. Grandson Logan added to the musical variety with beautiful hymns, classical songs and even a Beatles’ tune, on the piano. Riverview Administrator, Kendra German, joined in the fun by singing, Crazy.

The Auxiliary of Riverview and St. John’s Lutheran church of Rocky Ridge provided

a variety of cookies for the crowd to enjoy during the musical performance. Auxiliary members were also on hand to assist resi-dents in finding their favorite cookies, help-ing with serving drinks and helping resi-dents transport to and from the event.

Riverview would like to thank, the Nehls family, St. John’s of Rocky Ridge and the Auxiliary of Riverivew for their assistance in making this a memorable Father’s Day celebration for Riverview residents, fami-lies and staff.

The Auxiliary is always seeking new members to assist in any or all of their ac-tivities. Dues are $10 annually or $50 for a life time membership. Names of lifetime members are placed on engraved plates and displayed prominently in the main lobby of Riverview. Membership forms may be picked up from our front desk or by contact-ing Madonna Beard 419-898-0803.

“Can Do Like You” attitude leads to success

Gary Rister shared that he had a rough childhood growing up and reported that people didn’t think he was ever going to be able to do much. People had this im-pression of Gary due to the fact that he has a developmental disability. Howev-er, Gary’s aunt believed in him and used to always tell his dad to “let him go, and one day he is going to surprise you!” That was many years ago, and Gary’s aunt was right. Gary has come a long way and he has surprised many.

Gary has been able to purchase his own home, hold a job with the same employer for 21 years and be married for 24 years. This may not sound huge to the average person, but these commitments take hard work and dedication every day. They are the same commitments that many in our society strive for and fail to obtain.

Gary shared that he started off years ago, working for RVI and dating a young lady. As the years passed, Gary began employment at the CIC club and started to date the young ladies’ roommate, Mar-tha. Gary and Martha just celebrated their 24th wedding anniversary (June 22). Gary commented that he and Mar-tha are friends and that is why their rela-tionship works. Gary and Martha started out residing in Marblehead but about 4-5 years ago they decided to purchase their own home and now reside in Port Clin-ton near the lake. Gary and Martha share their home with Gary’s dog, Bubbles, and Martha’s cat, Patches. Gary said now that they own their own home he has tackled many home improvement projects such

as replacing the kitchen sink and coun-tertop, installing new front and back doors, and even replacing electrical switches. Gary shared that he has learned most of his handyman skills by watching home improvement shows. Next on Gary’s list is replacing some flooring, but it all takes time and money.

Speaking of money, Gary became part of the CIC Club staff 21 years ago. Gary works Wednesday through Sundays and almost all holidays. Gary’s main job duty is washing dishes, however he fills in wherever he is needed like peeling pota-toes, cleaning outdoor furniture, or run-ning kitchen towels through the laundry. Gary even trains summer staff. Gary has been nominated in the past as the em-ployee of the month and commented that there is always something to do when get-ting ready for a wedding, special events like Father’s Day, or just parties in general.

When not busy at work or doing home

repairs, Gary and Martha enjoy watching DVDs from Gary’s collection. Gary has been collecting for some time now and has in excess of 300 DVDs in his collec-tion. Gary’s favorites include Science Fic-tion, Mysteries, and older horror movies. Gary commented that he is always trying to make stuff better for himself. Right now, Gary has his sights set on getting a different vehicle as well as retiring in a few years. Gary thinks once he retires and has more time he would like to get back into fishing for catfish and take a trip to the State of Kentucky, where his dad was originally from.

As for now, Gary is just like you and I, trying to get by. So the next time, you see someone that you think might not be able to do much, think again and offer them an opportunity. You will be surprised to see what they are capable of.

American Red Cross of Ottawa County’s Club Red held the 9th Annual “Sherry & Chocolates” event recently at the Put-in-Bay home of Jan and Michele Graves. The annual membership drive event enter-tained more than 90 guests and was host-ed by Club Red founder Cindy Amerine.

Club Red Chair Lynn Majce and Co-Chair Carol Schemmer shared informa-tion about the ladies auxiliary group and its mission to educate the public about the many Red Cross programs and ser-vices offered locally and across the coun-try. Many Club Red members have taken

volunteer training courses and support our Armed Forces personnel and their families, assist in disaster and emergency relief, health and safety training, commu-nity blood drives, and sit on local and re-gional Red Cross boards.

The Clara Barton Honor Award for Mer-itorious Leadership, the most prestigious volunteer award given by the Ameri-can Red Cross, was presented to Ottawa County Club Red Founder Cindy Amer-ine. Under her leadership Club Red ladies’ auxiliaries have been founded here in Ot-tawa County and in Aiken, NC.

On June 24, fifty five children from Ot-tawa County got up early, loaded up on a chartered bus filled with snacks and mov-ies and headed to Camp NEOSA in Car-rollton, Ohio, for 5 days filled with swim-ming, canoeing, hiking, outside sport activities, singing, role-playing, arts and crafts and lots of fun.

Camp NEOSA (Northeast Ohio Salva-tion Army) is one of the many programs offered by The Salvation Army-Port Clin-ton Service Unit. Camp NEOSA provides an atmosphere where campers learn skills in developing their physical, social and spiritual needs. To assist in the devel-opment skills of each camper, the camp is aimed at helping to learn good health habits, provides an opportunity to con-

tribute to and receive from a group living experience, and participate in activities that stimulate creativity and foster inde-pendence. The Port Clinton Service Unit has provided this opportunity to approxi-mately 35-55 campers each year for the past eighteen years.

Currently, Salvation Army is taking ap-plications for their Tools for School pro-gram and they need bell ringers for the Christmas in July Campaign July 24, 25 and 26.

If interested in finding out more infor-mation on programs offered by the local office, call Maureen Saponari at (419) 732-ARMY (2769) or stop in at 1854 E. Perry Street – Suite # 800, Port Clinton.

CLUB from 7A

As the mercury rises, the parties and festivities that have come to signify summer excite revelers far and wide. Sum-mer has become the season of pool parties, trips to the beach, barbecues, and, of course, fireworks.

Love it or hate it, warm weather seems to beckon neigh-bors out of hibernation and incites a desire to set things on fire. When cooking over an open flame doesn’t satisfy that desire, many take to shooting off bottle rockers and whistlers. But fireworks can still be dangerous, and not ev-eryone is equipped or legally allowed to ignite fireworks. Therefore, to avoid potentially dangerous injuries, fines or arrests, it pays to follow these fireworks dos and don’ts.

DO find out if fireworks are legal in your area. If you have to travel over state lines or into another country to purchase fireworks, there is a good chance you are not allowed to use fireworks in your community. There are many regulations regarding the sale, transport and use of fireworks, so be sure you’re not breaking any laws before buying any fireworks.

DON’T buy fireworks from just anyone. You want to en-sure you are purchasing them from a reputable retailer of legal fireworks.

DO check any safety guidelines and warnings on the wrapper of the fireworks before lighting them.

DON’T light fireworks near people, trees, homes, or any combustible materials.

DO keep a fire extinguisher or water hose nearby in the event of a fire. The National Fire Prevention Association notes that the Fourth of July features more reported fires than any other day of the year.

Beacon Audit shows continuing strong readershipAs a member of the Mid-Atlantic Community Papers

Association, The Beacon has its readership audited ev-ery two years to verify circulation and readership to carry the association’s network classified ads. The local weekly paper’s numbers were recently released by Circulation Verification Council of St. Louis, Missouri for the period: April 1, 2013 through March 31 of 2015 showing a net av-erage circulation of 13,956.

The audit verifies an average home delivery of 8,605 in addition to bulk (newsstand) delivery of 5,460. The Au-dit Company (CVC) conducted a survey of over 300 local

resident and found that nearly 76% of delivered copies of The Beacon are regularly read or looked through by de-livery recipients.

In the digital age, CVC also now audits and reports on the activity of newspaper websites. Once again, The Bea-con’s website (thebeacon.net) shows strong numbers with their online edition. During the audit period, they showed 9,415 unique visitors, 13,340 total website visitors and nearly 25,000 page views per month. The Beacon’s Face-book page received 1,418 likes during the audit period.

“Considering all of the changes in competitive media

and how people receive their local news and information, we are most pleased with these results,” stated Beacon Publisher, John Schaffner. “While online media has had a dramatic negative impact on paid newspapers, our model of a FREE Community Newspaper filled with hyper-local content remains a viable news and information source for the communities we serve.” Schaffner also noted the contributions made by The Beacon staff of community people dedicated to keeping “your” community lively and relevant. “Our mission is to help people live here…better,” said Schaffner.

Legal Lines

Life estates and real estateBY JEFF ROTH

There are many ways to own and transfer real estate. The subject of this article is the ownership of real estate by way of a life estate and a remainder interest.

A person is said to own real estate in a fee simple title if he owns the complete and whole title with the full right to transfer. That person may elect to divide the ownership with more than one person. Examples of this division of ownership are as follows:

Creation of a life estateThe owner may grant a third party a life estate. This

means that the life tenant after the recording of the deed has the right to live on and utilize the property. He has a legal right in the real estate and it cannot be taken away without his signature or his death. If the parent moves from the real estate the legal interest continues. Along with this right, he is entitled to all of the income and li-able for all of the land costs such as taxes, insurance and maintenance. This could be used to place partial owner-ship in a parent to allow them to receive income while the child still owns the remainder interest in the real estate. This is not a rental situation but rather an actual owner-ship in real estate.

Retaining a life estateThe owner of the fee simple title elects to transfer most

of his interest in the land but retain and hold a life es-tate interest. This is like transferring ninety percent while keeping the ten percent that allows the original owner to remain on the property and receive the income from the property.

Reasons for a life estateIn estate planning this is a very useful tool. It guaran-

tees that your children will own the property while you retain the benefits and the ability to continue to reside on the land.

ProbateWhen the life tenant dies the life estate is extinguished

and the full and complete title reverts back to the remain-der land owner immediately. An Affidavit of Termination

of a life estate is filed in the recorder’s office to reflect this fact. No probate will need to be filed relating to this real estate.

Tax planningOne major benefit is the immediate transfer of the real

estate with the avoidance of income tax at death. Dad buys a rental property and pays $50,000. He has depre-ciated the property down to zero. If dad were to sell the property for $100,000, he would have income tax, both ordinary and capital. If he were to give the property out-right to the son then someday the son would have the same issue. By retaining a life estate, the property is ap-praised at the fair market value at dad’s death and the son would receive a step up cost basis and avoid any income tax upon sale.

MedicaidThis tool has in the past protected the property from the

nursing home and only made a part of the value subject to recovery depending on the age of the parent. The older the parent the less would be subject to recovery. This is an ongoing issue and this transfer may not offer all of the benefits it once did. At a minimum, a five year period of time must elapse from transfer to entrance into a nursing home.

A life estate transfer can be an easy way to protect land title while still enjoying the real estate.

Lake Erie harmful algal bloom projectionHighest discharge yet recorded for the Maumee RiverOn Monday, June 29, the National Centers for Coastal

Ocean Science and the National Center for Water Qual-ity Research released their seventh projection report on the harmful algal bloom in Lake Erie. The severity of the western Lake Erie cyanobacterial harmful algal bloom (HAB) is dependent on phosphorus inputs from March 1 through July 31; this time is referred to as the loading sea-son. This new product projects the bloom severity based on the combination of current measurement of discharge and phosphorus loading from the Maumee River for the season to date with historical records from past years to estimate the remainder of the loading season.

Based on data from March 1 to this week, the extensive severe bloom observed in 2011 is not projected to occur this year. After a relatively dry April and May, heavy rains this month have led to the highest discharge yet recorded for the Maumee River in the month of June. Heavy rains on Saturday are producing another large discharge and load event this week. Researchers will know the extent of the event by next week.

This experimental product involves the Maumee River phosphorus load data from Heidelberg University’s Na-tional Center for Water Quality Research and the west-ern Lake Erie bloom severity models by NOAA’s National Center for Coastal Ocean Science.

CAPT BOB BROWN JR.

Lake Erie Fishing Report

I almost couldn’t believe Saturday’s forecast earlier in the week; another big NE storm was coming? OMG!! We were just talking about this a few weeks ago. There will probably be certain areas that were negatively impacted from Saturday’s big winds causing muddy water condi-tions where Walleye will be difficult to catch. By press time I am hoping things will be improving on the water clarity so I would suggest keeping an eye to the water as you head out. If you can see down a few feet then you are in a good area. Try stopping a few times on your way off-shore and if the water looks chocolate brown keep going!

Here are some areas that had improving fishing for Walleye just before Saturday’s blow: just west of the CIC club on Catawba Island, near the Crib, Toussaint reef ar-eas, NW of West Sister Island in 28-38 ft of water., NE of Kelleys Island along the border and then east to the Sand Bar that is near the weather buoy north of Vermilion. If you are able to go to Ontario waters, some nice fish were being taken off the west side of Pelee Island in 26-33 ft depths. The east and north sides of the Island were pro-ducing some fish mostly in deeper waters of 33’+.

Most Lake Erie captains that use casting as a preferred method to catch Walleye were using ‘weapons’ which is a modified worm harness with one larger hook instead of several small ones. This rig is tipped with a night crawl-er. Also, bottom bouncers were producing good fish on the breezy days. Trollers were using worm harnesses as well unless encountering lots of drum then switching to spoons was the norm. Trolling charter boats were work-ing the area south of Pelee Island, west of North Bass and west of Pelee Island. All of this could change after the big winds we just experienced, so keep that fuel tank full and be ready to keep moving further from shore to find

the cleaner water and biting fish. Gold was the hot color of spinner blades this week as that is the color of mayfly larvae as they are rising from the bottom. Hopefully the annual hatch will be dying down by press time this week.

Bass fishing kicked into high gear as the season opened on Saturday and, believe it or not, there were a few hard-core bass fishermen out in East Harbor braving the mon-soon conditions to catch that first legal bass of the sea-son! Maybe a little crazy, but you can’t catch them sitting at the motel with the boat on the trailer! Nice largemouth have been showing up in the harbors, and a few around the marinas on the islands as well. Smallmouth bass should be in various depths around the islands, and tar-geting them with hardware like crankbaits and tube jigs should still be working for a couple more weeks. Soon live large shiners or crawdads will be the best bait for small-mouth, but plenty will be attacking lures still this week.

Perch fishing was predictably slow during the mayfly hatch this past week but look for the bite to heat up as the hatch dies down the next couple weeks and the prized eating fish should be much easier to come by. Good plac-es to try after that big blow this week would be near the taco bell buoy north of North Bass, east of Middle Bass Island and east of Kelley’s Island.

I wish you all great success in your fishing adventures!

High winds from NE effect fishing again this weekExperience golden age of airliners

The Erie-Ottawa International Airport and the Liber-ty Aviation Museum will host a return visit by the mu-seum’s 1928 Ford Tri-Motor Tin Goose airplane from Tuesday, June 30, through Sunday, July 5.

The historic plane will allow passengers to experi-ence flight during the golden age of aviation aboard the world’s first mass-produced airliners.

The Ford Tri-Motor, owned by the Liberty Aviation Museum in Port Clinton, comes with an impressive history. This aircraft known as the City of Wichita is the last of the original 10 Ford Tri-Motors that began coast to coast air service. The City of Wichita flew out of Port Columbus to begin the western leg of the Trans-continental Air Transportation (TAT) on July 9, 1929. TAT would later change to TWA and the aircraft would lead a storied existence in several exotic and tropical locations.

The Tri-Motor can carry up to 10 passengers at a time, and every seat has a window and every seat has an aisle.

Tickets are $70 in advance for adults. Walk-up tickets are $75. Tickets are $50 for children ages 17 and under.

For more information contact the Liberty Aviation Museum 419-732-0234.

Event organizer Gabe DeFreitas said, “The Squirt Gun Run is a fun and healthy way to kick off Inde-pendence Day. Racing along the beauti-ful Lake Erie shoreline while beating the summer heat…it’s a winning combination for which racers keep returning!”

Members of the Greater Port Clinton Arts Council will serve as squirters for 2015, making the event wetter than ever! Proceeds from the event benefit the Ken-neth Jensen Memorial Scholarship, in conjunction with Terra State Community College. The scholarship will be awarded to a Terra student from Port Clinton in a

skilled trades or digital media program.Registration begins at 8 a.m. at the Jef-

ferson Street Pavilion, and the race begins at 9 a.m. The course will take participants along Lake Erie and through historic downtown Port Clinton before finishing at Adams Street Park. Racers will then head back to the Jefferson Street Pavilion for re-freshments and awards.

Racers can sign up online at squirtgun-run.com. Entry fees are $20 per racer for those who pre-register by June 30 and $25 thereafter or on race day. All participants registered by June 30 will also receive a t-shirt. For any questions about the race, contact Gabe DeFreitas at 419-341-6223 or by email at [email protected]. The Squirt Gun Run also thanks Lake Erie Shores and Islands for their continued support of the event.

Prolonged rainfall has increased nutrient load entering Lake Erie

Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur ex-pressed concern today following news that algal bloom severity projections for this year have been revised upward. The elevated threat is attributed to two weeks of heavy rain that have significantly in-creased the amount of phosphorous and other nutrients entering Lake Erie.

“While early projections suggested Lake Erie algal blooms could be less of a threat this year, weeks of heavy rain have dampened those hopes,” said Rep. Kaptur. “These updated predictions make it more important than ever for federal, state, and local agencies to work together, using of-ficial recommendations and the latest re-search findings, to prepare for the coming algal bloom season. This also shows the importance of detailed monitoring of the rivers that feed Lake Erie to ensure re-searchers can track and understand the root cause of these harmful algal blooms. I continue to support efforts by state and local leaders to use the best available in-formation to set responsible phosphorous limits without delay.”

Rep. Kaptur recently co-hosted a brief-ing with the National Oceanic and Atmo-spheric Administration on the use of algal bloom tracking and forecasting data. She has actively pursued improvements in federal responses to harmful algal blooms and supported state and local efforts to reduce nutrient loads entering Lake Erie. She co-sponsored legislation directing EPA to appoint an algal bloom response coordinator for the Great Lakes, secured federal funding for improved conserva-tion practices, and sponsored legislation to limit nutrient runoff into Lake Erie. Kaptur also praised plans for a $3.6 mil-lion algal bloom satellite early warning system using data from NASA, USGS, NOAA and the US EPA, and successfully called on NASA to fund the project at the national level. She currently serves as co-chair of the Great Lakes Task Force in the House of Representatives.

Harmful algal blooms cost the U.S. $64 million every year in the form of addition-al water treatment and the loss of recre-ational water usage and declining water-front real estate values.

THE ERIE SOCIAL 5686 E. HARBOR RD. Marblehead, OH (Located in the Safe Harbor Plaza on Rt 163)

The Lakeside Wooden Boat Society (LWBS) and So-ciety of Old Salts (S.O.S.) held the 5th Annual Lakeside Summer Sailstice on June 19. A variety of boats, large and small sailboats; powerboats; kayaks and canoes, partici-pated in this year’s event.

The summer sailstice is the global initiative that calls upon all boaters to mark the beginning of the summer sailing season. It also reminds people about the need to

preserve the waterways for future generations. Over the past five years, the Lakeside Summer Sailstice

has grown steadily from a handful of boats to 11 this year with full crews.

The highlight of the Lakeside Summer Sailstice each year is the blessing of the fleet by the Rev. Dr. Irwin Jen-nings. He stands at the end of the Lakeside dock and blesses each boat and crew as they pass. After the bless-

ing of the fleet, the boaters head out into the open waters to watch the sunset.

Prior to this year’s summer sailstice, boaters were invit-ed to hear Dr. Kristen Devanna-Fussell, senior research scientist at OSU’s Stone Laboratory, speak on the health of Lake Erie.

Semper Paratus (Always Ready)BY GRETCHEN S. CURTIS, LHS DIREC-TOR OF OPERATIONS

The Lakeside Heritage Society (LHS) presents Creation of the U.S. Coast Guard and History of the Marblehead Life-Sav-ing Station on Sunday, July 5, at 2 p.m. in Chautauqua Hall at Fountain Inn. The U.S. Coast Guard, the oldest continuous sea-going service in the United States, dates back to 1790. However, did you know the U.S. Coast Guard is actually a conglomer-ate of many services? Its first big change happened 100 years ago in 1915. Today the U.S. Coast Guard is one of the five armed forces of the U.S. and the only military or-

ganizat ion within the Department of Home-land Secu-rity.

This elite service is multi-func-tional with 11 different m i s s i o n s all centered around the water. The

U.S. Coast Guard has had a presence on the Marblehead Peninsula since 1876 when a U.S. Life-Saving Station was built where the current USCG Station is lo-cated. It is one on the busiest stations on Lake Erie servicing a 458 square mile area of response. The speaker is James Hilt who spent over nine years with the U.S. Coast Guard. He is a graduate of the U.S. Coast Guard Academy and the University of Virginia. A member of the Lakeside Heritage Society Board, Mr. Hilt is cur-rently in his third year at Cleveland State University working towards a dual JD/MBA degree.

For more information on this free pro-gram or any other LHS events, please visit the LHS website at lakesideheritagesoci-ety.org. During the Lakeside Chautauqua summer season, on Sundays there is a free Church Pass available between 7:30-10:30 a.m. and is valid until 3 p.m. This pass al-lows you to attend the Sunday morning worship service, dine, explore the shops, visit the Lakeside Heritage Society Mu-seum & Gift Shop and attend this free 2 p.m. Sunday Lecture Series program. The Church Pass includes admission for guests and auto and will be collected upon departing the Lakeside Chautauqua cam-pus. Gretchen Curtis may be reached at 419-798-5519.

St. John Lutheran Church summer day campAn exciting Summer Day Camp is being

hosted and conducted by St. John Luther-an Church on July 20-24. It will be held at 207 Adams Street, Port Clinton. Enjoy a week of camp without needing to stay away from home. The theme for this year’s camp is A Love That Never Ends. Activi-ties will include crafts, singing, games, sports, and Bible study.

Campers from ages two through enter-ing kindergarten this fall will meet from 9 a.m. to noon and two year olds must bring a parent or other adult. Campers who have completed kindergarten through 5th grade will meet from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

and should bring a sack lunch Monday through Thursday. Middle School aged and older campers will meet from 5:30-7:30 p.m. (which includes a free dinner) Monday through Thursday. There is a free picnic lunch on Friday, which is wa-ter day. Campers are encouraged to bring a bathing suit and closed toe water shoes for water games.

This is a cooperative effort of St. John Lutheran Church and Lutheran Outdoor Ministries in Ohio (LOMO). For more in-formation and registration, call St. John Lutheran Church at 419-734-5548.

The University of Toledo (UT) will receive $50,000 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to support re-search into commercial development of an innovative method developed at UT to source certain chemicals from algae instead of getting them from imported veg-etable oil or petroleum-based sources.

The chemicals extracted from algae through this meth-od, called lipids, could be used to create certain types of Nylon most commonly used in car components, sport-ing equipment, medical devices and solar panels. These chemicals can also be made into materials that have practical application as an ingredient in liquid laundry detergents, lubricants or as a “carrier” ingredient in medi-cation.

“This path-breaking research at The University of To-ledo, one of Northern Ohio’s top graduate-level universi-ties, has the potential to help our region invent the fu-ture and the new jobs that will come with it,” said Rep. Marcy Kaptur. “Extracting these commonly-used chemi-cals from locally-grown algae instead of from imported sources, especially foreign petroleum and palm oil, would be good for our economy and for the environment. Con-gratulations to the UT research team for this promising work. I look forward to learning more as this research progresses.”

Replacing petroleum and vegetable oil imports could have important macro-economic benefits: creating jobs, supporting U.S. energy independence, and divesting from global producers known for their environmental and labor abuses.

Kana Yamamoto, Ph.D., principal investor for the proj-ect, described some of the commercial goals of the re-search: “This grant will help us identify potential path-ways to market. Ultimately we would like companies to license our technologies, and this award helps us find and develop the research directions best suited to achiev-ing that goal.”

William S. Messer, Jr., Ph.D., Vice President of Research, said: “The research builds on efforts to convert biologi-cal materials such as algae into useful chemical prod-ucts — a form of green chemistry. The I-Corps program is designed to explore the potential economic impact of basic research findings, and this project will examine the application of readily available plant materials to the pro-duction of useful chemicals such as detergents. Beyond the scientific merit of the proposed studies, the work may spark the development of new technologies that could form the basis for spin-off companies from UT.”

Steven E. LeBlanc, Ph.D., P.E., Interim Dean, College of Engineering, added: “This project is an excellent example of UT College of Engineering researchers applying their engineering expertise to develop sustainable processes for producing industrially significant chemicals. This project will help to commercialize those processes and re-duce our dependence on imported chemical feedstocks.”
