Public meeting with developer to be held in Port Clinton on Feb. 20


There will be a public meeting on February 20 at the Elks Lodge on Buckeye Boulevard in Port Clinton from 6-8 p.m. The meeting will be an informative meeting with Mike Rose, a developer from Washington Properties, to talk about downtown Port Clinton and the waterfront. Council members and administration will have the first opportunities to ask questions then it will be opened to public questions if time allows. Rose is the founder and chief executive officer of Washington Properties, a commercial real estate development, leasing and project management company specializing in the renovation and adaptive reuse of historic downtown properties. For over 27 years Rose, a Cleveland native now residing in Medina, has built, leased and managed commercial and retail space in a variety of settings. He began rehabilitating residential projects in the 1980s and developed a passion for sustainable community development. Rose founded Washington Properties in 1985. As one of the civic leaders concerned about the physical and economic deterioration of downtown Medina, Rose and his firm took the lead in transforming a shuttered, 88-year-old department store into retail and office space. Rose has also developed a number of commercial campuses along the growing Route 18 corridor that links Medinas Public Square with I-71. Rose then entered the Wooster, Brecksville and Orrville markets, initiating revitalization projects to bring new businesses into the central business districts. Today, downtown Wooster features approximately 50 high-quality residential lofts that continue to be nearly 100 percent occupied. In 2012, Rose also began leasing the first market-rate condominiums in the city. The idea is creating a metropolitan lifestyle with a small town charm, said Tony Cerny, architect at Architectural Design Studios, of the Wooster revitalization. More information on Washington Properties is available at www.washingtonpropertiesinc.com.

Mike Bassett contributes to PC Mayor touts city departments Ron Case Challenge in State of the City Address Match
BY JOHN SCHAFFNER Mike Bassett has joined the United Way in Ottawa County Ron Case Challenge match of Tom Bohlander, Fairways Villas developer. Bohlander contacted United Way to honor the memory of his Fairway Villas partner and friend Ron Case by offering a tribute match donation challenge of $7500. United Way in Ottawa County needs $15,000 to meet this years goal. Bassett has offered a Contribution Day to help meet the challenge and in celebration of Rons life. On Saturday, Feb.16, Bassetts Market in Port Clinton will be donating $5 for every $50 spent on groceries (no alcohol or cigarettes) in the store. WPCR will also be doing a live radio remote from 10 a.m. to noon. If the challenge match is met on Saturday the 16th and through other donations, United Way will be able to meet this years goal and will be able to continue to provide needed services throughout Ottawa County and to honor Ron Case, Tom Bohlander and Mike Bassetts commitment to the community. A year ago, Port Clinton Mayor Vince Leone didnt think he had enough knowledge and information to give a State of the City address. However, this year he did, and he gave it at Tuesday nights Port Clinton City Council Meeting. Right out of the box, he was full of praise for his staff at City Hall. The first and most important accomplishments this year in my belief is that I have surrounded myself with a great group of people that equally share the desire to move the City of Port Clinton in a forward and positive motion, stated Mayor Leone at the beginning of his speech. He then moved on to heap praise on all of the City Departments, starting with the Police department and Chief Rob Hickman. He noted that three veteran officers, Don Gaydosh, Bob Case and Louise Bergeman retired, all with over 35 years of service. As for the Fire Department led by Chief Kent Johnson, Leone stated he would put this fire department up against any community anywhere. Leone followed up with the Service Department. They completed negotiations with the city through Teamsters Local 20. They implemented a new way to repair streets by using a hot box trailer which holds hot asphalt. Over 200 tons of asphalt was used patching city streets in 2012. They also had to deal with 18 water breaks. An outsourced investigation of Port Clinton infrastructure revealed 19 leaks including 14 hydrants, 2 water mains and 2 main valve leaks. All of the repairs were made in house, according to the Mayor. Eric Peterson is the head of the Citys Service Department.

Tax revenues to the City increased by over $133,000 in 2012 compared to 2011. Improved collections and the renovations to Bataan School and construction of the new Middle School also had an impact. Mayor Leone also talked about a number of ongoing projects including the work of the Conestoga groups and the volunteers working on the City Garden on Beech Street. He also noted the special attention that was given to Veterans Park on Monroe Street. He spoke of the completion of the Sloan Ditch project on the Citys east side and a $250,000 grant from the Army Corps of Engineers for the waterfront. A copy of Mayor Leones complete State of the City address has been posted on The Beacons website, www.thebeacon.net.

That meant going after Port Clintons infamous house of ill-repute, Rosies. Gordon hired him anyway, and it wasnt that long after that he made good on his promise.

Letter to the Editor


Thank you It is hard to believe that it has been over a month since my mother, Mary Alice Streeter, passed away. She, like my father, Clarence Streeter, loved this town of Port Clinton. They were both raised here as children and felt this was a wonderful town in which to live and raise a family. Dad even said to me one time while we were walking near the lake, I think Port Clinton is Gods country, why would anyone want to live anywhere else? To which I responded, I agree with you, Dad. Port Clinton is a wonderful area, not just because of the spectacular view of Lake Erie, and not just because of the beautiful seasons we have, its crowning glory is the people who live here! Moms brothers and their wives and dads sister all raised their families here as well, so cousins were plentiful, which made Port Clinton the family place to be. Growing up here we felt safe, got a good education and made oh so many wonderful and fun memories. Our neighborhood was special, too. Keith & Marge Montgomery and Earl and Patsy Warnke were our other parents who kept me in line as much as my own parents did. But more, they, and their children, were family, too. But this past January proved that many in Port Clinton are family to Greg and me as well. We received so many wonderful cards offering condolences, prayers, and Masses for mom. So many memorials to Immaculate Conception, American Red Cross and to Stein Hospice, as well as other non-profit organizations, like the Ottawa County Museum, etc. We received many Facebook messages, emails and texts telling us that people are thinking of us, praying for us. For a month now, wherever I go people come up to me and tell me how sorry they are that mom is gone, that THEY MISS HER SO MUCH, that mom always put a smile on their face when they would depart. People would stop their conversations and say, I have to give Carol a hug as I was coming toward them. The hugs and the smiles that I get in the grocery store, at church, in the street.. maybe there are other places in Ohio, or even in the United States, like this, but I am glad I am here, with all of you. I feel I am blessed, and I KNOW I am blessed, to have so many to comfort me, as I pray I am comforting you as well in your loss of a friend, a mentor, a role model, a buddy, a sister in Christ. Mom left a wonderful legacy in Port Clinton, as did my dad. They gave to others and in return they received so much goodness and love. Many of the girls at Curves said mom inspired them as well as made them laugh while working out, now it is YOUR responsibility to keep the smiles and laughter going. You keep encouraging each other so you can look good in the box! (Moms sense of humor - the daughter of an undertaker!) Even after all these words, I still dont know how to say, THANK YOU for all you have done for mom and for Greg and me. I truly am so appreciative of all the TLC this past month. Sometimes it seems she is not even gone because I see her reflected in all of you. I will say it again, I feel so blessed to be living in Port Clinton with so many wonderful people. God Bless. Love you, Carol & Greg Fox

WENTE BROTHERS MORNING FOG CHARDONNAY
Each summer morning, fog billows inland through the Golden Gate, pushed by Pacific wind streams into the bowl of the San Francisco Bay. Here, it forms deep fog banks that rest on the East Bay Hills. In just one place, the Livermore Valley, with its unique East-West orientation, the fog banks come further east, cooling the air as it goes. This daily phenomenon creates the Mediterranean or Marine climate found in less than 1% of the worlds land mass. And it makes the San Francisco Bay and Livermore Valley appellations ideal for growing wine grapes that are beautifully balanced. This Chardonnay, named Morning Fog, pays homage to this rare climate.

Rep. Latta visits The Beacon


BY DONNA LUEKE On Friday U.S. Representative Robert Latta, whose 5th district includes parts of western Ottawa County, visited The Beacons office in Port Clinton. Rep. Latta talked about the four issues that he most commonly hears about from his constituents. They are: regulatory issues, health care, taxes and energy. Latta serves on the Energy and Commerce, Telecommunications Rep. Bob Latta with John Schaffner and Regulatory committees. According to Latta, the brightest spot amongst these issues and committees is energy, as it is predicted that by 2020 the United States will pass Saudi Arabia in energy production and has the potential to be the worlds largest supplier of natural gas. Lattas recommendation on energy is that we dont pick the winners and losers with energy companies. When asked what he can do or is doing to help break the partisan deadlock in Washington, he said that the administration has made bipartisanship difficult, but also that Republicans need to do better at communicating, and I really think we can all work together. When asked what his constituents can do, he advised that they stay informed and in contact, by email, mail and calls. Never say my voice doesnt matter. I am just one person. I look at every letter. Dont be afraid to talk to your friends and neighbors (about policies and political issues). If you dont, others will.

PCHS DECA Denim for a Difference


Port Clinton High School DECA is collecting old jeans in preparation for their trip to the State DECA conference in March. PCHS students are teaming up with other area high schools for their Denim for a Difference campaign. This is a spin-off of a larger campaign called Jeans for Teens. Any unwanted jeans, in any size and any condition, are welcomed. Community collection boxes for donating denim are at Ida Rupp Public Library and Huntington Bank on Catawba between Feb. 19 and March 11. PCHS DECA students will take the donations with them to Columbus. All the jeans will be cleaned and repaired then distributed to homeless shelters across Ohio.

Left to right: PCHS DECA members Amber Waite, Chris Stokes, Ross Meek and Breahana Hernandez are organizing Denim for a Difference.

Retirement May Be Far Off,


But the April 15 Deadline for IRA Contributions Isnt.
You have only so many years to prepare for retirement. Thats why contributing to your Individual Retirement Account (IRA) is so important. Fortunately, you still have time to maximize your 2012 IRA contribution before the April 15 deadline.

By contributing now, your retirement savings can have more opportunity to grow. Even if you already have an IRA elsewhere, its easy to transfer it to an Edward Jones IRA and begin receiving the face-to-face guidance you deserve.

To learn more about the advantages of an Edward Jones IRA, call or visit today.

Port Clinton rebounds from loss to defeat Edison


BY YANEEK SMITH Following a heartbreaking loss to Clyde last weekend, the Port Clinton girls basketball team responded with a resounding victory over Edison, 49-25, Thursday to improve to 17-3 overall and 11-2 in the Sandusky Bay Conference. The Redskins controlled the game throughout, taking a 32-6 lead into halftime as they cruised to victory. Hannah Weaver led all scorers with 16 points and Emily Ashley chipped in with 14 as Port Clinton shot a stellar 63 percent from the field in the first two quarters. Ciara Reed had 11 points to lead the Chargers. The Skins finish the regular season with home games against Fremont Ross (Tuesday) and Huron (Thursday). Port Clinton has yet to face Ross this season but did defeat Huron in the first matchup.

Lady Rockets win third straight


BY YANEEK SMITH In what could be the defining game of the year for the Oak Harbor girls basketball team, the Rockets rallied from a 14-point deficit and defeated Margaretta in dramatic fashion, 4945, last week to improve to 13-7 and 7-6 in the Sandusky Bay Conference. Down 28-17 at halftime, the Rockets went on a furious rally as they employed a full-court press that gave the Polar Bears fits, causing a number of turnovers as Oak Harbor got back into the game. Andrea Cecil helped pace the Rockets with 15 points and Abbie Gezo chipped in with 14. Margaretta point guard Kelsey Kromer led all scorers with 16 points and Kendra Gast added 12. Oak Harbor 54, Eastwood 38 Oak Harbor was in control from the beginning, leading, 9-4, after the first quarter and 28-14 at halftime in its 54-38 defeat of Eastwood. Abbie Gezo led all scorers with 16 points, Maria Boers had 12, including three 3-pointers, and Cecil also finished with 12. Diana Bushman had 14 points for Eastwood. Oak Harbor 52, Tiffin Columbian 29 The Rockets controlled this one throughout, jumping out to an early lead and taking a 32-17 advantage into the half. Maria Boers led all scorers with 16 points, Andrea Cecil chipped in with 15 and Abbie Gezo had 14. Jocelyn Cole finished with 11 points for the Tornadoes. Oak Harbor finishes up its regular-season slate with a road game against Lakota on Tuesday before coming home to host St. Mary CC on Senior Night on Thursday.

Port Clinton freshman, Nathan Stubblefield, puts up a shot over the Clyde defense on Friday night.

Oak Harbor boys fall to Perkins


BY YANEEK SMITH Despite getting 15 points from guard A.J. Cecil, the Oak Harbor boys basketball team lost its fourth consecutive game, falling, 69-41, to Perkins last weekend. Holding a 29-25 lead at halftime, the Pirates put things away in the third quarter by outscoring the Rockets (9-9, 6-5 SBC), 23-6, to put the game out of reach. Perkins (15-4, 11-1 SBC), which is tied with Huron for first place in the conference, got 17 points apiece from Nick Williams and Brandon Smith. Greg Haar helped pace Oak Harbor with seven points. Genoa 77, Oak Harbor 73 In a back-and-forth game that saw the lead change countless times, Oak Harbor fell to cross-town rival Genoa, 77-73, in non-conference action last week. Led by Luke Rightnowars 22 points, the Comets stormed back from a second-half deficit and took the lead for good late in the fourth quarter on a layup by guard Casey Gose. Jake Schimming and Noah Goodrich helped pace Genoa (3-16) by scoring 15 points apiece. All of Goodrichs points came from beyond the three-point line. The Rockets got 17 points from Austin Wiegand, who gave the Rockets their final lead on a bucket inside with 50 seconds to play, and A.J. Cecil chipped in with 14 while Greg Haar and Andy Rathbun finished with 12 apiece. Oak Harbor returns to action this week when it travels to Margaretta (Fri.) and host Danbury (Sat.).

PC boys fall to Fliers


BY YANEEK SMITH Behind 19 points from point guard Derek Gray, the Clyde Fliers defeated Port Clinton, 68-47, last Friday. With the win, the Fliers improved to 12-6 and 7-3 in the SBC while the Skins fell to 3-14 and 3-9 in the league. Clyde got going from the start, taking a 17-13 lead after the first quarter before pushing the advantage to 41-25 at halftime. Freshman Nathan Stubblefield led all scorers with 21 points and Carter finished with 11 points to lead the Skins. The Skins host Edison (Fri.) and Fostoria (Sat.) this weekend.

Danbury boys fall to Lakota in game at The Q


BY YANEEK SMITH In a special event for Danbury High School, the Laker boys basketball team competed at Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland last week against Lakota as part of the High School Hoops Showcase. Danbury did lose the game, 47-33, but it was a special experience nonetheless. The Raiders (6-13) took an 8-4 lead after one quarter before pushing the advantage to 22-11 at halftime. The Lakers responded in the third quarter, outscoring Lakota, 11-7, to make it a 29-22 game heading into the final period, but the Raiders put things away with an 18-11 run in the fourth to claim victory. Lakotas Darris McGown led all scorers with 14 and Colin Timmons and Nate Ray scored 13 and 12, respectively. Chance Mackall led Danbury (1-16) with 12 points and Dylan Buckley finished with eight. The Lakers have three games this week @ Maumee Valley CD (Tues.); Toledo Christian (Fri.); @ Oak Harbor (Sat.). Danbury fell in their first matchup versus MVCD, 65-30, and lost to the Eagles, 84-31, on Jan. 18.

Danbury defeats MVCD, improves to 10-11


BY YANEEK SMITH After losing three straight games, the Danbury girls basketball team righted the ship with a 43-7 victory over Maumee Valley Country Day last week. After improving to 9-8 two weeks ago, the Lakers fell on hard times, losing to three quality opponents in Toledo Christian, Cardinal Stritch and Huron to drop to 9-11. Danbury (10-11, 9-4 TAAC) took control from the outset as it connected on a number of outside shots against the Hawks zone defense. Danbury raced out to an early lead and held a 19-2 advantage after one quarter before pushing the margin to 25-6 at halftime. The Lakers controlled things in the second half as well, outscoring MVCD (1-17, 0-12 TAAC), 18-3, in the final two quarters. Lavelle led all scorers with 14 points. Stephens finished with eight and Stephanie Kukay and Katie Almendinger scored six and eight points, respectively. Cammie Lonsway, Miranda Vargas and Kennedy Jackson each finished with two points to lead the Hawks. Danbury hosts Ottawa Hills next Thursday on Senior Night with a chance to finish the year at .500 with an 11-11 record. And, after going 7-7 in the conference last season, a win would put the Lakers at 10-4 and assure them of a second-place finish in the TAAC.

Danburys Erin Lavelle scores two of her 14 points against Maumee Valley CDS in a game played Thursday, Feb 7. The Lady Lakers were victorious, 43 - 7.

LEGAL n OTTAWA OUTDOORS

Thursday, February 14, 2013 3B

by JUDGE BRUCE WINTERS

From the Bench

The Court of Common Pleas


termine what, if any, drugs are in his or her system. We are testing for illegal drugs and drugs for which the accused does not have a prescription. When any accused is released into the community the court monitors them with drug testing on a consistent, but random basis. If the accused is found to have used drugs, the community release is terminated and they are sent to jail to await trial. The second hearing is the Arraignment where the accused enters a plea of guilty or not guilty. Following arraignment the case is set for pretrial where the prosecutor and the defense attorney exchange evidence and information in an effort to resolve the case, either through a negotiated plea to a less serious charge, plea bargaining, dismissal of the charges, or trial. Very few criminal cases proceed to trial, less than 2%. Plea bargains are given at the sole discretion of the prosecutor because he alone knows the quality of his case and the shortcomings, if any. The next step in the process may be trial and I will cover that aspect in a later article along with jury service. If the accused is found guilty at trial the matter is set for sentencing. If the trial concludes with a not guilty finding, the charges are dismissed and the defendant is released. If rather than trial, a plea is negotiated between the prosecutor and defendant, the matter is set for plea Change where the defendant admits the charges. Again the matter is then set for sentencing. Following the plea Change, the Probation Department of the court the engages in an investigation of the defendant, his or her criminal background if any the defendants mental health, drug and alcohol issues, and any other factors that may play a part in determining an appropriate sentence. It has been my experience that nearly 75% of the defendants who come before me have drug and or alcohol issues and as many as half have a mental health issue the requires medical intervention. I review the report of the probation department before the sentencing hearing. At the sentencing hearing I listen to the prosecutor, the defendants attorney, victims and others before I make a decision about a sentence. While are also available for purchase. Native grass packets are again available. The District reminds everyone that the Colorado Blue Spruce, Norway Spruce, Arborvitae, Bald Cypress and White Oak are only seedlings, with sizes ranging from 8 18. The following hardwoods will be between 4-5 in size and are sold individually: Canada Red Choke Cherry, Tulip Poplar, Autumn Blaze Maple, Red Oak, Princeton American Elm, Cleveland Flower Pear, and Prairiefire Crabapple. Green Rocket Cedars do very well in our soil and are about 2 in size. All are pre-packed and come complete with planting instructions! Prices range from $8.00 to $35.00. If you would like an order form or have questions, call the Ottawa SWCD office at 419-898-1595. Early ordering is encouraged because supplies are limited (particularly for the fast growing varieties and Red Oaks). Deadline for ordering is April 5, 201. Money raised from the program goes to support District Programs throughout the year. To view the different varieties or print out an order form visit www.ottawaswcd.com. many have opinions as the proper sentence the final decision is mine alone. The law allows me a certain range of sentence, such as up to 12 months in prison, or up to life in prison depending on the seriousness of the offense, but in reality the law doesnt permit me to send many defendants to prison. After plea bargains are made only 6% are eligible for prison. The remainder either spend time in our local jail or are placed on probation. I will talk more about these options in future articles. If you have questions you would like me to address please contact me at ococpc@gmail.com. Remember, I cant talk about specific cases.

I promised to tell you more about the Ottawa County Court of Common Pleas on a regular basis. Our last article gave an overview of what we do, now perhaps Ill delve into the specifics of how criminal cases come to us. Unlike the Municipal or Juvenile Courts, police officers are not permitted to file their cases directly with this Court. Criminal cases come to this court either having been reviewed by the Municipal Court Judge in a Preliminary Hearing, or by being reviewed by the Grand Jury to determine if there is probable cause for someone to face charges. Probable cause means that a crime has probably been committed and the accused probably committed the crime. Only then can charges be filed in the Common Pleas Court. If the Municipal Court Judge finds there is probable cause, he then transfers the case to the Common Pleas Court. If the matter is heard by the Grand Jury and they find probable cause an indictment is given. The indictment is the document informing the accused that he or she has been accused of a crime and gives the general nature of the offense with which he or she has been charged. Under either procedure the accused is served with formal charges, usually by the Sheriff. In some circumstances the accused is arrested and in others the accused is ordered to appear in court at a specific time and date. The prosecuting attorney makes the determination who is arrested and who is summoned into court. The first appearance in court is called an initial appearance. This is where the accused is formally advised of the charges against him or her, the potential penalties involved, as well as his or her right to an attorney. If the accused is unable to afford an attorney, one is appointed to represent them from a list of local attorneys. Bail is then set. The purpose of bail is to ensure the accused returns for future court proceedings and to ensure that the accused is law abiding if he or she is out of jail while their case is pending. We require that everyone who comes into court for a criminal offense of any type submit to a drug test to de-

Magruders Laboratory earns CAP re-accreditation


PHOTO BY JOHN SCHAFFNER

TWO DEDICATED KIWANIANS HONORED


Last Wednesday Port Clinton Kiwanis Club President Carl Koebel (far right) awarded two long-time and dedicated Kiwanians, Mark Giaco and Anita Gribble, The Walter Zeller Fellowship Award. The award is named after Walter Zeller, who made the first donation to the Kiwanis International Foundation. The Port Clinton Kiwanis Club made two $1,500 donations to the Kiwanis International lead project known as the ELIMINATE project. The organization globally is trying to raise enough money to wipe out maternal neo-natal tetanus and the Port Clinton Clubs donation is going toward that cause.

Magruder Hospitals Laboratory Department was awarded re-accreditation by the Commission on Laboratory Accreditation of the College of American Pathologists (CAP), based on results of a recent on-site inspection. Lawrence Fanelly DO, Medical Director of Magruders Laboratory, was advised of this national recognition and congratulated for the excellence of services being provided. Magruders Laboratory is one of more than 7,000 CAP-accredited lab-

oratories nationwide. During the CAP accreditation process, inspectors examine the laboratorys records and quality control of procedures for the preceding two years. CAP inspectors also examine the entire staff s qualifications, the laboratorys equipment, facilities, safety program and record, as well as the overall management of the laboratory. The CAP inspection is recognized by the federal government as being equal to or more stringent than

the governments own inspection program. The College of American Pathologists is a medical society serving nearly 18,000 physician members and the laboratory community throughout the world. It is the worlds largest association composed exclusively of board-certified pathologists, and is widely considered the leader in laboratory quality assurance.
