PRIME

USDA Prime Graded Beef: The Most Tender & Flavorful of SteaksAnyone that has savored a USDA Prime Graded Steak knows that it is delightfully tender

and juicy with a buttery flavor which makes it distinctively superior to any other steak. Of all the beef produced in the US, less than 2% is certified as USDA Prime. Typically you will

not find USDA Prime in the supermarkets since its limited supply is gobbled up by fine meat purveyors that retail it to upscale restaurants and affluent customers.

Potholes, potholes and more potholesThat is the cry from our citizens who are griping and

complaining about the sad condition of our streets. But that does not surprise me, what surprises me is the citizens not knowing this was going to happen. When-ever you use the wrong materials, or inferior materials, you will end up with an inferior job.

To me, blacktop is a very poor replacement for con-crete and should never be used on streets. I cannot be-lieve our administration does not know that blacktop streets are a never ending patch job. The cost of laying blacktop and maintaining it has to be one of the costli-est of all streets.

You ask, then why do we use blacktop? That is a question I cannot answer and I wonder if our admin-istration can or will answer it. How about it, Mayor? Why, why why?

Another question for the mayor: Do you intend to go ahead with the development of the Citizens Water-works Park even though the citizens voted it down at the polls (which is the American way)?

And if you do go ahead with the development, would it be your way of telling us citizens you do not believe in the American way or care what we citizens want?

There are those that believe that our administra-tion will go ahead with the building of those ugly view blockers until the beautiful sight of the river and lake will only be seen by the wealthy owners of the view blockers. I cannot believe that any true American that was voted into office will turn their backs on what was decided at the voting polls.

Citizens, this should all be decided by us, not our ad-ministration, so be heard. Love the CORD.

Bob Walls, Sr.Port Clinton

Friends and family of Mary KuhnTo the family and many friends of the late Mary

Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur, along with EPA officials and local leaders, an-nounced more than $2.4 million in Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (GLRI) fund-ing to fight invasive plant species in Lake Eire and its tributaries.

Lake Erie supports an estimated 120,000 jobs in Northern Ohio, generates more than $1.7 billion in total tax revenue and provides drinking water to more than 3 million Ohio residents. Tourism in the region accounts for an estimated $12.9 billion in retail sales and $3.3 billion in employee wages. The Great Lakes system supports a fishery valued at $7 billion, making it the most valuable freshwater commercial fishery in the world.

“Protecting our Great Lakes ecosystem is both an environmental and an economic priority,” said Kaptur. “With this impor-tant federal investment, Ohio and other Great Lakes states can work to ensure this ecosystem is as healthy as possible. GLRI support for programs like these has been critical to state and local efforts to protect our treasured Great Lakes, which are so vital to our region’s environmental and economic health.”

Jane Goodman, Executive Director of Cuyahoga River Restoration, added, “We are so grateful for this opportunity to gain a measure of control over invasive plants that threaten the health of our watershed. The collaboration among partners is what makes it all possible. Bringing together the expertise and resources of ODNR-DNAP, the Cleveland Metroparks, Sum-

mit County, Portage County and Geauga County park systems, the Conservancy for Cuyahoga Valley National Park, Tin-ker’s Creek Watershed Partners, and the Student Conservation Association, we will be able to remove or prevent invasion on a huge area of land and streams.”

Lorain County will receive $634,889 to control at least 30 acres of invasive plant species and to restore habitat in the Black River Watershed and two smaller tribu-taries to Lake Erie. This project will also create jobs for 10 seasonal employees who will be hired for the project through the Black River Civilian Conservation Corps.

The Cuyahoga River Community Plan-ning Organization will receive $534,230 to identify and remove invasive plants from about 1,800 acres in the Cuyahoga River watershed, which drains into Lake Erie. Local partners and stakeholders in the region will also coordinate a campaign to raise public awareness of invasive plants in this watershed.

Three projects totaling $1,241,741 will be overseen by The Nature Conservancy and will address invasive species impacting Ohio’s western Lake Erie basin, including the Maumee River and its tributaries. The Environmental Protection Agency is also funding another approximately $6 million in efforts to eradicate invasive species in the other four Great Lakes regions.

In cooperation with Materion Brush Inc. in Elmore, Terra State Community College is offering a pilot program this summer to introduce opportunities in the skilled trades to area high school sophomores.

The Skilled Trades Apprenticeship Readiness Training (START) program will offer 50 students entering the 10th grade the unique opportunity to receive hands-on experience in four areas: Automotive Services, HVAC, Machining and Welding and Fabrication.

START is being offered free to partici-pating students who live in Sandusky and Ottawa counties. Those who are interest-ed must complete an online application and commit to attending all four days of the program from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., June 22-25.

Officials at Materion developed the idea for the program and then approached Ter-ra State to partner with them.

“We in the United States are faced with a shortage of people who are entering the skilled trades,” said Jim Lippert, Mainte-nance and Engineering Manager at Ma-terion. “We need to work together with the community colleges such as Terra State to develop interest in the trades at an age when young people are looking to move forward and make decisions about their career paths. Efforts such as the START program are needed to encourage and help young people understand what kind of good-paying jobs are available in these fields.”

During the four-day program, students will experience different projects, includ-ing:

• Welding and Fabrication – Trans-forming a blueprint or sketch from a design into a usable product and learning to weld

• HVAC – Cutting and gluing PVC pip-ing; bending, flaring and soldering copper tubing; and learning electrical fundamentals

• Machining – Learning basic safety fundamentals of machining, includ-ing practical applications; drilling, turning and assembling an ink pen

• Automotive Services – Learning about safety, basic mechanics, elec-trical systems and caring for a vehicle

There will also be an optional Life Skills session from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. each day. Students will learn tips for finding jobs, how to develop an effective resume and more.

Parents and/or guardians of selected students, as well as the students them-selves, must attend an orientation session to learn about the program, complete au-thorization forms, and learn about guide-lines and attendee expectations. These sessions will be June 9 or 10 from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the college.

Transportation from a specified location in each county will be available and lunch will be provided for students each day.

The application form can be found at terra.edu/learning and must be com-pleted by April 10 for consideration. Space is limited to 50.

For more information, call Lifelong Learning at 419-559-2255.

The House of Representatives passed the Drinking Wa-ter Protection Act (H.R. 212) this evening by a bipartisan vote of 375 to 37 pushing federal agencies to provide clear protocols and oversight in the event of a large-scale algal bloom. Representative Kaptur is an original co-sponsor for this legislation which was introduced in this Congress by Rep. Bob Latta. Algal blooms are often the result of excessive runoff from agriculture or urban centers. They can produce a dangerous spike in the concentration of toxins in drinking water and eventually lead to major ecological collapse.

“When the water crisis hit Toledo last year, shortcom-

ings in our federal response to this kind of dangerous environmental event were laid bare,” said Kaptur. “While it has been long in coming, Congress has finally taken a critical step to arm communities against the threat of toxic algae, which I hope expedites the U.S. EPA’s work on long-overdue guidelines. I urge my colleagues in the Senate to approve this overdue legislation without fur-ther delay.”

Lake Erie is one of the largest sources of fresh water for drinking in the world. Communities along the coast of Lake Erie depend on the lake with more than 7 billion dollars a year in economic activity coming from fishing, recreation, and tourism.

Representative Kaptur is the Ranking Member of the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Energy and Wa-ter and was recently elected to serve as a new Co-Chair of the House Great Lakes Task Force She has sponsored algal bloom response legislation since the 2014 Lake Erie water crisis.

Lady Rockets’ magical run ends in the regional semifinalsBY YANEEK SMITH

Only four teams finish the season happy. For the rest, not winning a state cham-

pionship means their season ends with a loss. But that shouldn’t put a damper on a team’s accomplishments.

The Oak Harbor Rockets’ magical season came to an end when they lost, 53-42, to North Union in the Division III regional semifinals. In a back-and-forth game that featured two ties and eight lead chang-es, Oak Harbor held a 32-31 lead after Maddy Rathbun scored inside off a pass from Emma Bergman with 2:04remain-ing in the third quarter, but the Wildcats, who sport a 26-1 record a No. 4 ranking, closed out the quarter on a 6-2 run to take a 37-34 lead heading into the fourth and slowly pulled away in the final quar-ter. The Rockets’ last real chance came with 2:38 remaining when they trailed 45-40 and called a timeout, but were unable to convert and were forced to foul where North Union, which is located in Rich-wood, closed it out at the free-throw line.

It was a magnificent season for Oak Harbor, which won its first district title in 25 years, and just the second in program history. It was a memorable one that saw the team take the community on quite a journey.

Getting to this point wasn’t easy. The Rockets had to rally and defeat New Lon-don, 48-40, in the district final, taking the lead for good on a runner by Andrea Cecil with 4:30 to play, and that came just two days after Cecil had the game of her life as she scored 35 points to help Oak Harbor rally from a 15-point deficit to beat Genoa, 66-56. The 48-40 win over Bucyrus in the sectional final wasn’t an easy one, either.

The Rockets (17-8) were on a mission to get to this point for the last year after los-ing, 40-37, on a buzzer beater to Bucyrus

Wynford in last year’s district final. And not only did Tom Kontak’s club answer the call this season and achieve its ulti-mate goal, but they chose not to be con-tent with making it to regionals, instead playing with the heart and desire they ex-hibited all season long.

“This season has been one of the most incredible journeys I have experienced as a coach,” Kontak said. “The energy and passion the coaches and players put into this season with the climb to a district championship has been special. The road we have traveled has had some bumps but has not deterred our group. The class and drive these young ladies have displayed throughout was phenomenal.

“I told them (after the game) they had brought a community on a ride that was special for everyone. I think the fans of Oak Harbor fell in love with this team be-cause of how they play. This team played with passion and a style that I think peo-ple enjoyed watching. As coaches and players, we are grateful for the opportu-nity to represent our school and the Oak Harbor community.”

The Rockets’ resilience helped them re-cover from a 3-6 start, one that featured a difficult schedule that included quality opponents like Genoa, Bellevue and Lima Bath, before proceeding to win 14 of their next 16 games until falling to the Wild-cats. As a whole, this undersized group was greater than the sum of its parts and epitomized the true definition of a team, one where each individual understood her specific role and was willing to sacri-fice for the good of the team.

A team with no seniors, Oak Harbor was led by Cecil, a 6-1 forward who averaged an even 20 points and 8.2 rebounds. She

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.

Andy Schlotterer

OAK HARBOR from 1B

was joined in the start-ing lineup by 5-8 center Maddy Rathbun (10.2 ppg, 6.3 rpg), guards Emma Barney (8.4 ppg, 5.1 rpg), who’s 5-10, and Athena Eli (6.1 ppg), who’s 5-6, and the 5-4 Abby Dornsbusch, who runs the point. Emma Bergman, a 5-4 guard, and 5-10 forward Allie Kuhn were the primary reserves, and Ashley Riley, a 5-6 freshman, provided some relief off the bench when Eli was injured and missed much of the early portion of the season.

Speaking of Eli, she served the role of defen-sive stopper, often drawing the other team’s best play-er, and it was one she ad-

equately filled. Combined with her outside shooting, she proved to be vital com-ponent to this club, one whose value was not fully appreciated until she broke her finger midway thru the second game of the season and was forced to sit out eight games. During her three years in Oak Har-bor, Eli has lettered three times in volleyball, twice in basketball and was part of three relay teams that placed at the state track meet last year. The Rockets are fortunate to have her, seeing as she transferred from Genoa before her freshman year.

“It’s been a crazy ride (at Oak Harbor), Eli said. “Switching over here has been the best decision I made in my life. I love my Genoa girls, and I always will, and I love the oppor-tunities this school has given me. I love these girls and I wouldn’t have want-ed to do this with anyone else. This season has been unforgettable. After the game, I told the girls to keep their heads up. To be the second team to make it this far in school history and going from a team that was 3-6 to the regional semifinals is unbelievable.”

Eli comes from good basketball pedigree. Her older sister, Simone, a 2009 graduate of Genoa, played basketball at Bowl-ing Green, and her father, Art, who has been an assis-tant with Kontak for eight years, played basketball in high school with former Indiana great Steve Alford in New Castle, In. before playing college baseball at BGSU.

“Athena will always draw the top defensive assign-ment of the opponent’s guard,” Kontak said. “She takes that on as a personal challenge. Defensive stops do not show up in statis-tics. Athena brings high energy, toughness, intensi-ty and a competitive spirit that takes our team up an-other level.”

Every player on the team brought something to the table. Cecil was the team’s go-to player, the one they could count on in crunch time, Barney was a versa-

tile threat, one who could drive, shoot and rebound, Eli served as a three-point threat and played good, stout defense and Dorn-busch ran the offense and provided clutch outside shooting, hitting the go-ahead three-pointer in the sectional final against Bucyrus. Kuhn, mean-while, gave the team much-needed depth off the bench, Bergman served as a ball handler and an outside shooter that the team could rely upon and Riley’s three-point shoot-ing helped to spread the floor for the offense.

And of course there’s Rathbun, the undersized sophomore post player that has been a thorn in the side of opponents for two years. Despite stand-ing just 5-8 and sometimes giving up 3-4 inches to her counterparts, Rathbun has done a fine job since start-ing as a freshman last year. On an undersized team, she is someone her team-mates can count on down low to keep the opponent’s best post player in check while providing scoring and rebounding herself. A three-sport star who also excels at soccer and soft-ball, Rathbun talked about what it meant to have such a great season.

“We brought together a community who wasn’t able to do this in a while and that’s amazing,” she said. “We’re all coming back next year with great experience. It’s important that we take his and grow.”

Kontak summed it up best.

“I think the lesson this group has learned is how close they are to being a really good team on a consistent basis,” he said. “That comes from experi-ences like this whole sea-son -- how easy it can be to become deflated and how close you really are to great accomplishments. This group has experienced the full gauntlet of highs and lows this year. This run to end the season will be the motivation to take the pro-gram to a championship level. We will all be very excited for the next chap-ter.”

Five Rockets compete at state wrestling meetBY YANEEK SMITH

Competing at the highest level means facing the best Ohio has to offer, and Oak Harbor found that out the hard way dur-ing the Division II state wrestling tourna-ment last week.

Of the five wrestlers, three were just one match away from placing, and the two others lost in heartbreaking fashion to great wrestlers before being eliminated.

St. Paris Graham won its 15th consecu-tive state title with 250 points, followed by Central Catholic, who had 99, and Lexing-ton, which finished with 73.

Junior Rhett Petersen, who wrestled at 145 pounds, made his second appearance in Columbus and had a tough draw, fac-ing the top seed from the Alliance District, Parma Padua Franciscan’s Kyle Kaminski. The two battled to a 1-1 tie before going to overtime where Kaminski scored two points for a sudden victory to take the match, 3-1. (Kaminski would advance to the final and nearly won the weight class, losing to St. Paris Graham’s Brent Moore, 3-2.) Following his defeat, Petersen went into the consolation bracket and beat Dover’s Louis Hutras by the narrowest of margins, 1-0, before falling to Lisbon Beaver’s Daniel Hasson, 3-1. Had Petersen won that match, he would’ve been guar-anteed of finishing no lower than eighth place.

His cousin, Ben, just missed out on placing at 152 after finishing eighth last year. He lost his first match to Akron St. Vincent-St. Mary’s Ben Knaus, 6-3, in the

first round. Petersen then recovered to defeated Byesville Meadowbrook’s Bailey Jenkins, 10-4, but fell to Central Catho-lic’s Josh Mossing, 7-1, in the consolation bracket. (Mossing, the top seed in the Mansfield District, would go on to finish third.)

Fellow senior Jeremy Balboa (138) suf-fered a similar fate, losing his first match before rebounding to win and then los-ing to fall out of contention. Balboa faced Cuyahoga Valley Christian Academy’s Ryan Bennett, in the first round and lost, 10-4. (Bennett would advance to the final before losing to Central Catholic’s Nate Hagan, 5-4.) Balboa, a two-time state qual-ifier, edged Washington Court House’s Skylar Hester, 1-0, in his next match but fell to Johnstown-Monroe’s Hayden Bul-lard, 8-2.

Sophomore Brody Hennig (120) faced the eventual champion, Lurichsville Clay-mont’s Tyler Warner, in the first round and lost by pin at 2:12, then fell to Hamilton Ross’ Aaron Cox by ultimate tiebreaker, 3-2. Junior Brandon Garber (220) also lost in the first round to the eventual cham-pion, Amanda-Clearcreek’s Cole Gender, by tiebreaker, 4-1, and was then defeated by Alliance Marlington’s Ben Higgins, 5-2, in the consolation bracket.

“I was happy with the way we compet-ed,” Oak Harbor coach George Bergman said. “Our effort was definitely there. We had a couple of first-year guys wrestling there -- Brandon competed hard in both matches, and Dylan competed hard. There

is a very fine line between winning and losing. For whatever reason, we came up on the short end for most of the weekend. Our three middle weights had been there before and they gave up some size. The ef-fort was there, (but) some minute things (made the difference).”

It was a tough way for Oak Harbor, which won the Sandusky Bay Conference title, to end the season, but it doesn’t spoil what they accomplished. The team had a fine season, advancing to the regional finals of the Div. III state wrestling duals and performed well at a number of major tournament this season, finishing first at the Bob Bailey Invite, third at the Per-rysburg Tournament and seventh at the Maumee Bay Classic.

The team will return three of the state qualifiers, but it must say goodbye to Bal-boa and Ben Petersen, both of whom were SBC champions this year and accumulat-ed over 100 career victories.

“They’ve both contributed greatly over their four years,” Bergman said. “They’re both going to letter for a fourth time. Their work ethic is very good, they both pushed each other. Ben came up throughout bid-dy program -- he didn’t place at the ju-nior-high state tournament, but he got the state tournament twice (in high school), and he’s probably going to head off to Tif-fin Univ. He loves to wrestle and he’s im-proved a lot over the years. He’s going to have a good future in college.”

Next season, Garber, Hennig and Rhett Petersen can return with the confidence that comes with having competed at the state tournament and use that to their ad-vantage.

“I think (the experience) is huge,” Berg-man said. “You always want your guys to get down and experience the atmosphere and wrestle against that good competi-tion. More than anything, it will help them in the offseason. There is that sour taste,

and that’s what you want out of the un-derclassmen. That will help their training and their work ethic.”

This was also the final season for three other seniors, Nick Bergman (132), Brody Hennig (160) and Steve Simkus (182), all of whom were district qualifiers. Bergman, who was a state alternate as a freshman, missed the vast majority of his sophomore and junior seasons due to injuries and un-derwent 12 surgeries, making competing on the mat an accomplishment in itself. He fell two spots short of getting to Co-lumbus this season.

“I think especially because I have a son involved, my last son, it does make it more emotional and special, this was my last season with him,” Bergman said. “Steve just started wrestling in eighth grade, and for him to win a league title and to be a district qualifier -- he’s improved a lot, and that’s very impressive. Brody helped to stabilize our lineup at 160; he’s done a great job. Both of those guys are four-year lettermen. Nick, with all the injuries, it really caught up to him. He was one that never wanted to stop wrestling. Some of the doctors told him to think about pick-ing a different sport, (but) he always want-ed to wrestle; he was the veteran in the lineup. Nick and Ben were our two cap-tains. Nick was our vocal leader, and Ben let his wrestling speak for itself -- both did an outstanding job.

“Without those five seniors, it doesn’t have to be said that we wouldn’t have won the league. For us to win the league in our back yard was a real thrill, the high point of our season. We beat Edison, who was third in Div. III, and we beat a great team in Perkins that had some excellent competitors. Margaretta had four guys at state, and three placed. To win that league championship was the apex of our sea-son.”

Port Clinton Middle School announces honor rolls

The district highlight for the March 3, B-C-S Board meeting was shared by R.C. Waters Elementary School teachers Kris-ten McKee and Jennifer Giezie who pre-sented on how second grade students read a book entitled Grace for President!, and how it turned into a lesson on the election process. Students learned about some of the rules involved in elections, and those who wanted to hold office had to give

speeches to their classmates. With the help of their teachers, the second grade students campaigned for and held class elections. Some of the students who were elected spoke to Board of Education members about why they ran for class of-fice and what they hoped to achieve in of-fice. Board members asked some of the students’ questions, and were impressed with this authentic learning opportunity.

Second grade class elections highlighted at B-C-S Board meeting

R. C. Waters Elementary School student Allie Giezie makes a presentation to members of the Benton-Carroll-Salem Board of Education about second grade class elections as teacher Kristen McKee looks on during a meeting of the Board on March 3.

Hannah Genzman won the FCCLA (Family, Career, and Community Leaders of America) Creed Speaking content held February 11 at Penta Career Center. For the contest, Hannah memorized the FC-CLA creed, presented it in front of judg-es, and answered questions about her own interpretation of the creed. Jeremy Tingley placed third in the same contest.

Students were judged on their presen-tation skills, poise, and answers to ques-tions. The Oak Harbor Middle School FCCLA program is a satellite of Penta Career Center.
