The April 3 report from the United States

Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) states
that the water level of Lake Superior is 3
inches below its level of one year ago, while
Lake Michigan-Huron is 15 inches lower.
Lake Erie has levels 17 inches lower than a
year ago. Over the next month the water
level of Lake Erie is expected to increase 4
inches.
Keith Kompoltowicz, Chief of Watershed
Hydrology for the Corps of Engineers dis-
trict offce in Detroit, said that the seasonal
rise of Lake Erie is predicted as 9-11 inches
below the long term average, and two inches
lower than in 2012.
The report states that Lake Erie has an av-
erage seasonal rise of about 15 inches, but
in 2012 had no seasonal rise and rather has
had steady or declining levels since January
2012. This was the frst time in its recorded
history that Lake Erie did not have a sea-
sonal rise.
There is some good news for lake levels
this year. One reason it is predicted that Lake
Erie levels will have an average or above av-
erage seasonal rise is that there is still a good
amount of snow across the land areas adja-
cent to the upper Great Lakes, much higher
that the levels of 2012. Also, the offcial out-
look issued by the National Weather Service
shows the potential for above average pre-
cipitation in April, May and June.
As for predicting future lake levels beyond
the six month forecast, Kompoltowicz stat-
ed that, Based on historical scenarios, there
are any number of possibilities. Several sea-
sons of heavier snow and rain would be re-
quired to get the lakes back to average.
Across the Great Lakes the combination
of low lake levels and decreases in federal
funding for dredging has affected commer-
cial shipping, including the closing of sev-
eral Great Lakes ports. 36 of 60 deep draft
ports have been impacted by the low waters,
and 46 of 80 shallow draft ports. There is
currently funding for dredging at only 15-
23 of those ports.
LaFarge Marblehead Quarry, one of the
largest and highest volume quarries in Ohio
and on the Great Lakes, ships about 95% of
its material to customers via lake freighters
from its deep draft dock. Throughout Great
Lakes ports, freighters are carrying an aver-
age of 15% less cargo due to low water levels
and dredging issues. Though LaFarge re-
ports no major issues, when the water level
is low, they load less stone.
Coast Guard Station Marblehead patrols
from the Toussaint on the west to Vermilion
on the east, north to the Canadian border,
and also Sandusky Bay and the Portage, San-
dusky and Huron Rivers. Chief Petty Offcer
First Class Phillip Null said that low water
levels do not affect their ability to patrol and
rescue. We have the appropriate resources
for any needs, said Null. We had to assist
with a few more boaters that ran aground
with last years low water. Null said, howev-
er, that most of those incidents are handled
by commercial boat rescue operators.
Nulls advice to boaters, especially to those
that have not been on Lake Erie in a while
and may be unaccustomed to the lower wa-
ter levels: Beware of weather, currents and
low waters. Check www.noaa.gov for infor-
mation. That is what we use.
Chief Petty Offcer Second Class James
Hassinger reminds boaters to dress warmly,
especially this time of year, to always wear
a life vest and to carry a cell phone. He also
encourages boaters to take the safe boat-
ing class offered on Saturday by the Coast
Guard Auxiliary at the Station.
The most commonly recognized effect of
low water in this area is at the many private
marinas, where water levels determine the
size of the boats that can be docked and
launched.
Commodore John Schaffner of the Port
Clinton Yacht Club that sits at the mouth of
the Portage River said that soundings were
taken and it was determined that no dredg-
ing would be needed this year. Still, sailboats
with deeper keels may be affected by low
water levels.

Ohio United Way celebrated the organizations 100th
anniversary at their Annual Meeting, Wednesday, April 10,
at the Capital Club in Columbus.
Ohio United Way used the Annual Legislative Lun-
cheon to celebrate 100 Years - 100 Heroes, recognition of
the many individuals from across the state who have im-
proved lives in their communities through service to their
local United Way and/or the state organization. Honorees
were nominated by local United Ways and Ohio United
Way.
Ohio United Ways Board Chair, Attorney Clair Dick-
inson, states: Ohio United Way is thrilled to be using
the occasion of its anniversary to honor people who have
made its work possible: individuals from across Ohio
who have given selfessly to make a positive difference in
their communities.
In 2003 three local developers, Bob Snyder, Bill Van Der
Giessen and Pete Weimer, conceived the idea of a Car-
ing Giving Community. These three gentlemen thought
this was a way for developments to give back to the larg-
er community as part of a commitment made by all of
its residents. The program is designed to be a template
for developers and homeowner associations in Ottawa
County, and could be expanded throughout the state and
perhaps throughout the country. In fact the original Car-
ing Giving Community, Catawba Bay Development, has
inspired imitators in Ottawa County and there are now
three Caring Giving Communities.
Giving back to our community through an institution
like United Way makes us stronger, caring and creates a
better place for all of us to live in so many ways, says Van
Der Giessen, Catawba Bay project developer.
Supporting United Way through a program of total
community support is an ideal way to help build strength

The Danbury Township Board of Trustees was recently
the recipient of some very special items purchased by the
Marblehead Peninsula Chamber of Commerce. Fourteen
recycled-material benches were provided to the trustees
for use in parks throughout the township. In addition to
the benches the Chamber also purchased a new sign for
the dog park which was created and manufactured by
Allure Advertising in Danbury.
Keith Addy, Director Emeritus of the Marblehead
Chamber, said, The opportunity for the Chamber to
give back to the community in a visual, useful way was
the thought behind this donation. With the approval
of the Board of Directors to purchase the benches and
the sign, the rest was easy for this retired member of the
Chamber. It is a small way for the community and visi-
tors to recognize that there is an active Chamber of
Commerce on the Peninsula.
Trustee Dianne Rozak added, These new benches
should encourage our many visitors to stay a bit
longer at each of our parks to admire the views and
utilize our other amenities. Of course we hope they
will also patronize our local businesses. Our board is
a proud member of the Marblehead Chamber and
we are extremely grateful for this very generous do-
nation. The sign for the dog park is a welcome addi-
tion to our newest township project. I commend our
maintenance staff for their diligent work in keeping

April for all Kiwanis Clubs to perform a community project. By spreading the mulch

The Oak Harbor FFA Chapter was pre-
sented an opportunity by the Ohio Coun-
try Journal and Ohio Ag. Net to enter a
contest to create a music video/parody to
promote agriculture and the FFA organi-
zation. The Communications and Lead-
ership class decided to take on this task.
After a lot of brainstorming, they ended
up picking the song
Thrift Shop by Mackl-
emore. Then they started
brainstorming lyrics for
this song about agricul-
ture and the FFA. Over
a few weeks members
spent countless hours
flming video footage for
the song. Once the flm-
ing was over, students
uploaded the video and
began editing and putting
the video to the music.
Once the video was fnished it was up-
loaded to youtube. The video fnished 3rd
in the Ohio Country Journal Contest.
The link for the video: https://www.you-
tube.com/watch?v=MMEV8QHJh8g
Or you can go to www.youtube.com and
type in Ag Shop Oak Harbor FFA and it
will come up.

Mel and Barb Ayers announce the
April 16 opening of Ciao Bella Ris-
torante Italiano, their newest res-
taurant offering in the Port Clinton
area. Located at 3880 Harbor Light
Landing Drive off of State Route 53
in Harbor Light Landing, an open-
air entertainment destination, Ciao
Bella will be open year round for
both lunch and dinner.
Expanding on their successful Na-
goya Japanese Steakhouse and Sushi
restaurants in Port Clinton and Per-
rysburg, the Ayers bring Ciao Bella
and frst-class Italian cuisine to the
communities of the North Coast.
Ciao Bella is a 5,000 square foot res-
taurant seating 165 diners. It offers a
full service bar and lounge, outdoor
waterside dining, traditional Italian
cuisine and an extensive interna-
tional wine list. The dcor features
rustic Italian infuences.
Ciao Bella offers an array of Ital-
ian dishes that showcase the talents
of Chef Paul Matthews and include
soups, salads, pasta, sandwiches, handmade pizza, tradi-
tional Italian dinners, desserts and gelato. Pauls impres-
sive background as Chef and Executive Chef in the Greater
Toledo area signifcantly enhances our ability to provide
our guests with outstand-
ing quality, innovative
style and an unforgettable
dining experience, said
Mel Ayers. Ciao Bella also
offers 15 vegetarian selec-
tions and more than 20
gluten-free options, as well
as humanely-raised veal.
The bar and lounge area has a
freplace and seating for 30 peo-
ple. Guests can enjoy a full menu,
wines from all over the world, spe-
cialty cocktails and after-dinner
drinks. Happy Hour will be Mon-
day through Friday from 4-6 p.m.
and will offer small plates for the
bar customer as well as discounts
on beer, wine and spirits for all din-
ing customers. For seasonal outdoor
dining, Ciao Bella provides a pa-
tio with Italian-style pergolas and
festival lighting that overlooks the
shopping center and water feature
at Harbor Light Landing.
Ciao Bella also provides a private
dining room for special events, in-
cluding family style dinners for
groups of up to 16 people. Ciao Bel-
la has a full carryout menu featur-
ing Basta Pasta, carryout packages
which provide a full dinner for up
to four people, for boaters, families
and anyone on the run.
Ciao Bella offers daily specials for lunch and dinner and
Turnaround Tuesdays. Every time you turn around on
Tuesdays, theres a different type of pasta being served on
your plate. Its a great opportunity to try many of our
delicious pasta dishes and gives guests a chance to just sit
back and enjoy while our staff serves a sampling of the
chef s choice of pastas for the evening, said Barb Ayers.
The Turnaround Tuesday special includes soup or salad,
homemade focaccia bread and unlimited pasta.

Ciao Bella Ristorante Italiano opens April 16
On May 3-5 country musics Kelsey K.
and the Buffalo Ridge Band will be at the
Ottawa County fairgrounds in Oak Har-
bor to headline the Arena Fundraiser.
The arena at the Ottawa County Fair-
grounds has a heavy clay mixture. The
footing for horses and riders has been de-
pendent on the weather conditions. On a
hot day, the footing becomes loose and the
dust kicked up causes decreased visibility
and the horses, riders and spectators in-
hale the dust. When the arena is watered,
the relief is temporary because the bottom
layers of the arena are not properly irri-
gated. When it rains, which seems to often
happen during Fair Week, the water pools
and the footing becomes slick and dan-
gerous. A properly irrigated and prepared
arena can help solve all these problems.
The three-day event to help raise fund to
renovate the arena features a chili cook-
off, and several exhibitions and competi-
tions including an Open Speed Exhibition,
a Contesting competition and a Pleasure
Show.
Kelsey K. has already, at 13, written over
200 songs and released two original CDs.
She is the youngest songwriter ever select-
ed to attend NSAIs Advanced Song Camp.
Her song I Am Somebody was chosen
for MTVs documentary Bullied. Her
latest CD, Blue Jean Girl, produced by
Jimmy Nichols, musical director for Faith
Hill, was released in October of 2012.

and the project, check the website at www.

Fund or Facebook at facebook.com/Ot-

for others. A Caring Giving Community is a program that will
reward United Way with a contribution supplied by a portion
of the proft from the sale of each home. Additionally, as pro-
vided in the community by-laws and subsequent association
dues, an annual sum from each property owner will go toward
the support of United Way. In so doing, the development will
continue to be recognized as a United Way Caring Giving
Community.
Since 2003 the Caring Giving Communities in Ottawa Coun-
ty have contributed $82,273 to United Way in Ottawa County.
In addition Ohio United Way is recognizing Christine Galvin
and the Conestoga Project. Galvin has been the Ottawa Coun-
ty Director for United Way of Greater Toledo for the past 20
years. Through Christines leadership 21 community partners
began the Conestoga Program in Port Clinton, transforming
neighborhoods, addressing issues such as employment and
fnding a good job, providing a comfortable home, alcohol &
drug addiction, mental health and other issues affecting the
neighborhoods. The program and its success have now spread
into Sandusky.

Autism is a disorder that holds much mystery and few de-
fnitive answers. It is a spectrum disorder that deeply im-
pacts families and their children on many different levels.
An emotional reunion was held in the home of the Pratt
family to talk about what autism means for them. Cheryl
and Scott are typical parents of four growing sons. Their
second son Lance was given an early diagnosis of autism 13
years ago at the age of 2. Cheryl recalls those early years ten-
derly, with his Early Intervention Specialist Susie Maloney.
Cheryl states I dont know what I would have done without
you! When asked to recall what the biggest help in those
early days of diagnosis and therapies was, Cheryl teared up
and said, I will never forget the day you showed me that
Lance was capable of giving me eye contact. You gave me
hope! I needed to see that he could be like other children.
Following the diagnosis, Cheryl and Scott opened their
home to therapies 3x a week. Children with autism do not
process the world the way typical children do. Lance would
perseverate when he became anxious, had a high tolerance
for pain and did not understand physical and social bound-
aries. Cheryl states that his high tolerance for pain is still
quite a concern. His mom shares that he can eat a bowl of
steaming hot noodles and it will not faze him.
Lances three brothers are in his court. They are quick to
voice that they love their brother. They hate autism, said
Cheryl.
Lance has had a special fondness for horses since child-
hood. His parents have provided him with many opportu-
nities to pursue his interest and he has since become an ac-
complished rider. He is now affectionately called the horse
whisperer.
Lance is well known and accepted by his high school peer
group. Socially, Lance has come a long way from the little
boy whose parents initially thought that he was deaf and was
not interested in social engagement in any form.
Lance accompanied his mother to a recent Support Group
meeting following their return to the area. He surprised
everyone by greeting Susie and Sandy (his support special-
ist) with a hug and calling each by name. His mother was
shocked that he knew names, after all these years. He was
only told that he was attending a meeting, said Cheryl.
That is a testimony of Lances potential for early imprinting,
memory skills and his ability to bond. Lance has touched the
lives of many people. He is truly an inspiration.

Manager: Traci Bodi, 10th season
Last Season: 12-11 (7-7 SBC)
Batting Order: CF Kalib Shiets; C Blake
Calvert; SS Addison Rospert; RF Trey Glu-
th; 2B Chris Stokes; 1B Cory Colston; 3B
Sean Black; LF Kyle Radloff; P Zak Floro
Outlook: Thus far, the Port Clinton
baseball team has struggled.
After coming into the season with high
expectations, the Redskins have struggled
to a 1-6 start, something they hope is
more an aberration than anything else.
Manager Traci Bodi, now in his 10th sea-
son with the club, spoke about the season.
Weve played a challenging schedule,
he said of a run thats featured the likes
of Fremont Ross, Bellevue and Sandusky.
Were just not making plays that we need
to make to get out of big innings. Thats
one of the things that were going to try
and focus on. We had some injuries early
on with our pitching staff, (but) weve still
got to make plays.
Its a little bit of everything, an error
there or a routine play thats not being
made. Everything that can (go wrong) is.
Weve got to fnd a way to stop.
The team, which has nine seniors, fea-
tures a batting order of the following: CF
Kalib Shiets; C Blake Calvert; SS Addison
Rospert; RF Trey Gluth; 2B Chris Stokes;
1B Cory Colston; 3B Sean Black; LF Kyle
Radloff; P Zak Floro.
The best hitter of the group is Rospert, a
three-year letter winner who has commit-
ted to play baseball at Bowling Green State
University next season. Colston, Gluth,
Stokes, Black and Calvert have also seen
steady varsity action since their sopho-
more seasons.
The pitching staff features Rospert,
Gluth, Floro, Sean Black and Jason Bailey.
Those fve will go a long way in determin-
ing how the Skins do this season.
Our goal is to compete for the SBC
title, Bodi said. Its been a little bit of a
rough start, (but) well continue to get
better everyday. We push for one game at
a time in the SBC its going to challeng-
ing.
Bodi sees the league as being quite com-
petitive with Perkins being the favorite,
though he sees Oak Harbor and Clyde,
among others, as being pretty good.
Everyones strong thru the league,
he said. Its as strong as Ive seen it in a
while. Theres not going to be an easy road
in the league. Weve got to step it up.

Redskins hoping for big
things this season
BY YANEEK SMITH
Head Coach: Rob Schimmoeller, ninth year
Last Year: 18-8 (12-2 SBC)
Batting Order: SS Mark Konieczy; 2B Andy Rathbun; P
A.J. Cecil; LF Logan Winke; 1B Nate Segaard; CF Justin
Warnke; 3B Ben Genzman; RF Jourdan Maguire; C Mike
Osbourne
Outlook: The last two years have been pretty special for
Oak Harbor.
Last season, the Rockets won their frst Sandusky Bay
Conference title in 20 years and the year before that they
went on an incredible run that saw win fve tournament
games to advance to the Division II Regional Final.
Most of the key players from last years squad are gone,
meaning Oak Harbor has lost the vast majority of its pro-
duction. It should be noted that senior Kaleb Maguire,
who wouldve played a key role on this years team, will
miss the season because of a torn Achilles tendon injury.
Fortunately, Oak Harbor has two of the areas best play-
ers, Mark Konieczny and A.J. Cecil, back for one fnal run.
Konieczny, who plays shortstop and pitches occasionally,
hit .489 with a remarkable .718 on-base percentage while
serving as the catalyst for the offense last season. Cecil,
who plays center feld when hes not pitching, hit .435
(.590 OBP) and went 6-3 on the mound with a 1.41 ERA.
Senior Nate Segaard is expected to help as well, having hit
.455 in the frst four games to go with fve stolen bases.
Fortunately, A.J. and Mark are back to set the table,
manager Rob Schimmoeller said, so the middle of our
lineup should have plenty of RBI opportunities. Howev-
er, with only two returning starters, we may have to play
small ball with the bottom part of our order.
Thus far, the Rockets have raced out to a 7-1 start behind
a combination of good pitching and hitting. Cecil (3-0,
0.45 ERA), Segaard (2-0, 0.78 ERA) and Konieczny (0-1,
0.81 ERA) have all pitched very well this season.
Those three are also also part of the fve players who are
currently hitting at least .400 thru the frst eight games.
Cecil (.625 BA, 3 2B), Andy Rathbun (.500 BA, 2 2B), Lo-
gan Winke (.452 BA, 4 2B), Konieczny (.433 BA, 4 2B) and
Segaard (.400 BA, 9 RBI) have all been instrumental in
leading Oak Harbor to their fne start.
Oak Harbor looks to
defend SBC crown

Manager: Chris Rawski, 2nd season
Last Season: 8-18 (6-8 SBC)
Batting Order: RF Allison Wolf; P Sam Durivage; 3B Jus-
tin Webb; 1B Theresa Stokes; SS Rebecca Florio; DH Kim
Wahlers; C Maggie Tyburski; CF Sydney Street; LF Brandi
Lochotzki
Outlook: After going 8-18 last season, a year that saw
them start 1-10, the Oak Harbor softball team has started
off the 2013 campaign with a 7-0 record.
The combination of good pitching from Sam Durivage,
timely hitting and good defense has helped propel the
Rockets to their great start, one that has come exclusively
against non-conference opponents.
Thus far, the Rockets have won every game by at least
seven runs and, in the few instances in which theyve dealt
with adversity, theyve come through.
Having lost just two players from last season, Oak Har-
bor, under second-year head coach Chris Rawski, feature a
front-line starter in Durivage, a number of quality hitters
in Allison Wolf, Justine Webb and Theresa Stokes and a
defensively-sound infeld.
The lineup is, as follows: RF Wolf; P Sam Durivage; 3B
Webb; 1B Stokes; SS Rebecca Florio; DH Kim Wahlers; C
Maggie Tyburski; CF Sydney Street; LF Brandi Lochotzki.
Sams done a nice job (thus far), Rawski said. Shes
been attacking the hitters and letting her defense work be-
hind her. Sam is leading us in the circle and is a big part
of our offense.
As a team, we will focus on putting the ball in play with
two strikes and making the routine play on defense. Webb,
Stokes, Florio, Street, Tyburski and Wolf will also be a big
part of our offense.
Its an experienced squad, one that has six players (Erin
Bryant, Durivage, Florio, Tyburski, Street, Stokes) playing
their third season at the varsity level, giving the team rea-
son to be optimistic this year.
The preseason rankings had Edison and Perkins at the
top with Oak Harbor picked sixth. Rawski is hoping that
the Rockets will make a run at the league title, or at least
fnish near the top of the conference, and wants them to
make noise in the tournament.
For their efforts last year, Wolf, Webb, Durivage and Flo-
rio were named honorable mention in the Sandusky Bay
Conference.
In just a short period of time with the program, Rawski
has already helped to instill a culture of winning with the
players.
