It has been 200 years since there has been such a mo-mentous gathering of people and ships on the north coastof Ohio. In 1813, in the waters off of South Bass Island,there was a great naval battle. For the next dozen days wecelebrate that battles legacy of peace. In the past 200 years,the battles fought in our peaceful Lake Erie waters havelargely been conned to those of shermen vs. walleye.

On the mainland and on the islands there will be tallships and bands, reenactments, food, crafts, parades, mu-sicians, drama, a road race, a shing derby, vintage aircraftand ships and costumes, reworks, a wedding, canon reand a roving pirate.

Hundreds of volunteers (200 in Port Clinton alone),countless hours of planning and the generosity of spon-sors all are contributing to this grand party. All that re-

mains is for us to enjoy the festivities and share our natu-

ral easy hospitality with neighbors and visitors alike.Bicentennial Bits:

The longboat, funded by the Perry Group, constructed fromplans by Melbourne Smith of Annapolis from the originalplans that were with the tall ship Niagaras plans, and builtby John Riddle of Riddle Boatworks in Vermilion, was trans-

ported in style by Sam Halsteads gleaming 1936 Dodge truck.The longboats arrival was greeted at Put-in-Bay by Peter

Huston of the Perry Group, who oversaw the construction ofthe longboat, and a parade of antique vehicles that led theboat into town. Riding with the longboat was Jeremy Meier,who has been portraying Oliver Hazard Perry in a one-manshow that he researched and created for the Ohio Humanities

Council. Meier, theater professor at Owens Community Col-lege, has become very knowledgeable about all things OliverHazard Perry.

Downtown plantersAs my wie and I were walking through downtown Port

Clinton the night o Aug. 21 we were struck by the lack ocare (watering) that some o the large planters were receiv-ing. Plants in some o the planters looked very nice, indi-cating that some business owners were caring or them.Others, however, (including several located in ront osome o the ew remaining viable businesses downtown)looked very sad. The owers were not in good shape andnot very attractive.

Theres been a lot o talk recently about the downtown

area, and about how it can be improved. It seemed to usthat the simple act o business owners watering the plant-ers on the sidewalks in ront o their locations (or thoseadjacent to their businesses) would be a good start. Itwouldnt take more than a couple o minutes every coupleo days when the weather turns dry.

Ronnie Hall

Waterworks ParkIn response to the Aug. 15 Beacon article regarding the

Waterworks Park development, we would like to make acouple o comments regarding why the million dollar de-velopment would not be conducive or ull and part-timeresidents.

Most residents along E. Perry Street are against the de-

velopment and so are we. We love the small town ambi-ence and avor o the city and always eel welcome andprivileged to be part o this town on the Lake Erie shore.This is heaven or us. The disturbance o the community/city would be an unwelcoming event and make it not oursor any middle class olks choice o choosing.

Who is going to support the new businesses when thereare vacant properties and unused beautiul buildings andbusinesses on Madison Street? Has the development com-mittee taken a real hard look around other than their ownpocketbooks?

The opportunitist compared our town to Wooster, OH.Wooster is a much bigger town than Port Clinton and hasa college population. Port Clinton is a seasonal town andhas a 6,000 year round population compared to Woosterspopulation o 30,000.

The article mentioned 5 star restaurants. What about the

current 5 star restaurants that Port Clinton already has?We have enough. We as part-time residents only visit thehigh 5 establishments on special occasions. Futhermore, a

third o the restaurants/hotels in Port Clinton close in thelate all/winter, unlike the town o Wooster. The middleclass person cannot support an abundance o 5 star res-taurants.

Suggestion: Spend the money on revamping MadisonStreet i you want to have a spending spree. Revitalize thebeautiul historic downtown buildings.

Next point. Why the condos in Waterworks park? We livein a condo association with a beach that is private prop-erty. Who is to say that these new condo builders are goingto make sure that the public has access to the waterrontas promised. Promises are always broken ater tax abate-ments and contracts are lost in the system.

Bottom line is, Port Clinton will never become a big city

like Detroit, Cleveland, Chicago, etc. Port Clinton shouldcontinue to be a quaint, riendly tourist town. Whatswrong with that? Ask Sheri Andy Taylor and Aunt Beao Mayberry, R.F.D. Continue to support your local busi-nesses. We do and it is un in the doing.

Mark and Melanie Misencik

Evaluate your Part D prescriptiondrug plan. This is much easier thanmost people think. It is importantto make certain your existing medi-cations will still be covered on yourpresent plan for 2014. Also check tosee if there are other plans that mayoffer a lower premium and out-of-pocket drug cost savings. You can dothis by going to www.bolteinsurance.com and click compare Medicarehealth and drug plans. This tool will allow you to make aneasy side by side comparison of your present plan. Pres-ently there are about 30 Part D prescription drug plans tochoose from.

Re-shop your Medicare Supplement Plan. Althoughcoverage is the same for similar plan letters from com-pany to company, pricing can be signicantly differentfrom one company to the next. Many people have Plan For C which are the two most benet-rich plans. For manypeople these plans may be overkill. You may be wasting alot of money in premiums and could save money by con-sidering if Plan G, N or even high-deductible Plan F mightbe a better value.

Consider if a Medicare Advantage Plan is right foryou. Many counties have plans available that have littleor $0 monthly premium. These plans are typically PPOor HMO style plans. These style plans are not for every-body. However, they can be a great value and provide bothmedical and prescription drug coverage and offer consid-erable premium savings compared to Medicare Supple-mental Plans. In 2013 there were eight plans available inOttawa County through three different companies. Someof these plans even include extra dental and vision ben-ets and health tness center membership through theSilver Sneakers program. You can view plan benets atwww.bolteinsurance.com and click on Compare Medicare

Health and Drug plans.If you need help in nding a better plan, local indepen-

dent agents are available that can help you with this pro-cess. Contact Steve Gulas or Chuck Devore at Bolte In-surance Agency at 419.732.3111. They represent multipleMedicare plans and will put your interests rst.

Self-Assessment tools toavoid caregiver distress

BY JASMINE CUPP

A group of Port Clinton class of 1959

alumni are using their talents to bringsoftness and comfort to residents in thearea who are suffering from cancer. Thegroup makes cotton cancer caps for cancerpatients who have lost their hair. Jan Lock-hart, Mary McAtee and Gerri Gill broughtthe cancer cap creation to Ohio. This is thesecond year that the group has mass pro-duced the hats in Port Clinton, but theirventure started in Florida in 2007 wheresome of the women go for the winter.

Judy Carney started the organization inFlorida where she made the hats for can-cer patients in that area. During a monthlysocial meeting that women of the class ofPort Clintons 1959 have, they discussedhow one of their classmates had cancer

and could use some of the caps that Car-ney made. Interested in the things Carneywas doing, the women of the 1959 alumniclass decided to contribute and help makesome of the caps and donate them to peo-ple in our area that are in need. Now along

with Lockhart, McAtee and Gill, MyraOhm, Barb Coonrad, Jane Ohm, Dee Mas-

ing, Cathy Darr and Pat Horn all take partin the making of the cotton cancer caps.

This year between May 22 and Aug. 22the group made 270 caps. The caps areall made out of cotton and the women ofthe group buy the supplies and make allthe hats themselves. Each cancer patientgets two caps, free of charge. The caps aredonated to Magruder Hospital, FirelandsHospital and North Coast Cancer Cen-ter for Adults. Caps are also donated tothe Akron Childrens Hospital, RainbowBabies and child hospitals in Cleveland.Cancer patients like the hats because theyare all cotton, soft and not scratchy. Thegroup is also starting to make lap quilts forpatients using the scraps from the hats.

The group would love to purchase morematerials so that they can help morepeople and expand their services to otherhospitals. To make contributions or dona-tions to the efforts please call Gerri Gill at419-654-2425.

Black Swamp Conservancy and the Toledo Symphonyare collaborating to bring music and nature togetherthroughout northwest Ohio. The public is invited to therst concert of this innovative Simple Gifts: CelebratingOur Musical and Natural Roots series on Sunday, Sept.8th at the Meadowbrook Marsh Preserve on the Marble-head Peninsula.

In 2013, Black Swamp Conser-vancy partnered with Danbury Township to expand thissite by 80 acres, including the remainder of the marsh forwhich the preserve is named.

Simply Gifts is a collaborative project between theToledo Symphony Orchestra and the Black Swamp Con-

servancy, a land trust dedicated to protecting agriculturaland natural areas in northwest Ohio. The two organiza-tions are partnering during a celebratory time to createawareness of the many musical and natural gifts in theregion; the Conservancy is celebrating its 20th anniversa-ry, the Symphony is celebrating its 70th. The concert seriesis made possible in part by a grant from the National En-dowment for the Arts and the Edward H. Schmidt MusicalArts Fund of the Toledo Symphony.

The Sept. 8th concert is free and open to the public;however, tickets must be reserved by contacting the Sym-phony box ofce at 419-246-8000.

BY HOWARD M. MCCONNELL

In the day of Captains Perry, Elliott andBarclay, sea power was expressed in waysup close and personal. The range of ar-mament required this. Further, in order tomanage his ship in battle, a Captain hadto know all there was to know about han-dling a ship under sail, a prodigious un-dertaking. The only communication was

by voice or messenger on board the ag-ship, or simple ag hoist to other ships.These old ships were tough, beyond be-lief, and gunre alone sometimes failed toquell them. Often the ght was decided bya crew boarding the enemy, under intensere and hand-to-hand personal combat,while locked alongside one another withgrappling hooks.

Today, after two hundred years, every-thing is different. The last gun duel be-tween battleships was fought with shipsat maximum range of dozens of miles,in the year 1944. Battles are now foughtwith enemies hundreds of miles apart. Abattle group is not a line of battle, buta screening network of specialized ships

designed to defend the main combatantfrom assault by missile, air, surface, andsubmarine simultaneously. Weapons aredischarged electronically. Intelligence andre control are provided by radar and so-nar. Battles are managed from a combatinformation center deep within the hull ofthe main combatant, by ofcers observinglarge electronic displays. Communicationis instantaneous.

Only one factor is the same. In 1813,Commodore Perry stood in the open onhis quarterdeck, where he could see all. In2013, the admiral would stand in his com-bat information center, where he can seeall.McConnell, a WW II U.S. Navy ofcer,

and his stepson, Don Schilling o Lakewood,have developed a website that archives andmakes accessible historic documents on theBattle o Lake Erie. McConnell and Schil-ling, experienced Lake Erie sailors and stu-dents o history, share their knowledge andresearch at www.ancestrypaths.com/mili-tary-records/1813-battle-o-lake-erie.Image from McConnell-Schilling website

Until yesterday, I had never given it a second thoughtthat someone might not know how to net a sh. I some-times forget that what comes as second nature to me is

a very new experience to someone else and can be quitechallenging. I thought I would share this experience withall of you in the hope it is helpful.

My charter started out with a father and his two boys, 11and 19. We were trolling for walleye out on the Canadianline. After a couple hours of instruction on how to baitthe crawler harnesses, use the line counter reels correctly,attach the inline planer boards, set them out, and retrievethem, I went to the bow of the boat saying, Weve caught

your sh for your sh fry tonight, and you seem to knowwhat youre doing now, so now its up to you guys to do allthe work and just have fun!

Well, the one thing I never explained was how to use thebig walleye nets I have in my boat, because I had been net-ting all the sh that morning.

Is this the only way to do it? Maybe not, but after yearsof netting sh successfully, (mostly), it might work for

you too. You see, the nets I use have a very large basket onthem, and if the bottom of the basket isnt held with one

hand while also holding the handle before it enters thewater, it will drift back in the water making it impossibleto capture the sh. The netting will oat back with the

current and get in front of the basket opening, blockingthe sh from entering it. Or, it will catch an exposed hookon the wrong side of the net and the sh will be able toshake free.

When the older brother grabbed the net to help his Dadland a sh, I instructed him to hold the bottom of the netlike I explained above. With an obstructed view I watchedhim unsuccessfully go after the biggest walleye of themorning. When I could nally see what was going on Irealized he was never letting go of the net when it enteredthe water. The walleye just bounced off the taught nettingtime and time again. The sh won that ght and swam off.As I explained how the net works, his little brother wasgiving him the what for and we all laughed.

So, the next time you hand someone a net, dont take forgranted that they know how to use it.

It was certainly a big thrill for me personally and for ourcrew aboard our 30 sloop named SCOOP last Saturday.In case you didnt know already, it has been my privilegeto serve as Commodore in 2013 for Port Clinton YachtClub. Nine PCYC boats sailed last Saturday for the Com-modores Cup, 4 boats in PHRF (full spinnaker rig) and5 in JAM (jib and mainsail only). I am proud to reportthat SCOOP nished 1st on the 11 mile course from PortClinton to Catawba Can, to the G Can Firing Range buoythen back to Port Clinton. We had some battles with lightair heading into Catawba Can which essentially allowedus to stay within range of JEB sailed by Park McRitchie.The wind picked up nicely out of the east around 12:30in the afternoon, which allowed us to get around the Canand head to the ring range. My crew of Jeff Bugbee, TonyDouglas, John McIntosh and Tim Willford did an out-standing job of handling the sails, including the spinnakerset, gibe and take-down.

PHRF is a speed on distance handicap system rated byseconds per mile. After all the handicaps were guredin, SCOOP nished rst in the PHRF class, followed byPCYC Fleet Captain Ramon Eickert aboard COQUI, fol-lowed by JEB and THIN ICE sailed by Mark Sprenger.Cliff Ruckstuhl sailed his J-29 RED DOG to victory in theJAM eet followed by Jim Miller on SEA TURTLE andMike Robinette aboard HUGGY BARE.

This weekend is the Annual Green Island Race at PortClinton Yacht Club. We have invited sailors from all overLake Erie to come and sail with us and enjoy spending theweekend with the two Tall Ships that will be docked acrossthe Portage River from PCYC. There are two feeder racesthat will be coming in on Saturday, the Dedication DayRace from North Cape Yacht Club near Monroe, MI, theFunday Race from Sandusky Sailing Club.

The Green Island Race is one of the most popular sailingevent along the shores of Lake Erie. The race is held on

Sunday morning, Sept. 1, which gives the visiting yachts-men the opportunity to race in on Saturday, enjoy thehospitality of PCYC on Saturday evening, Race the GreenIsland Race on Sunday on the 20 mile course that goesaround one of the ring range markets west of Green Is-land, then around Green Island before returning to thenish line. Finally, the boats from North Cape will be ableto at least sail past the re-enactment of the Battle of LakeErie which will take place midday on Monday.

Because of the celebration of the Bi-Centennial of theBattle, PCYC has opened up the registration for boats inthe area that may not have formal PHRF ratings. Theywill be allowed to sail in the Casual Cruising Class inthe Green Island Race. Online registration can be foundat www.portclintonyachtclub.com. See you out there thisweekend.

I am absolutely amazed and touched by the interest andsupport I got during the Lake Erie Solo Challenge. Thiswas the most difcult thing Ive ever done. I was expect-ing it to be difcult; it is supposed to be difcult, and noteveryone is expected to complete it. One sailor was mak-ing his third attempt. The physical, mental, and psycho-logical challenges pushed every limit I had. However, therewards were commensurate. Im not exaggerating to saythat it was a profound experience and I learned a tremen-dous amount, about single-handing, sailing in generaland about myself.

Several people have asked me about the loop on my

last night (Monday night). The simple answer is that Isimply couldnt ght sleep deprivation any further. My 36year-old alternator was not charging batteries sufcientlyto allow me to use my autopilot. As a result, I had to handsteer the last three days of the race and couldnt take naps.For the sake of the non-sailors, Ill explain this a little fur-ther. My sailor friends can skip the explanation.

Steering a sailboat is not like steering a car. There areconstantly shifting forces, wind direction and force, wavesthat require constant adjustment of the wheel. Its morethan just moving your arm and turning the wheel. It re-quires constant data input from several sources to knowwhats going on: a wind direction arrow at the top of themast, the forward edge of the sails, the boat speed, thecompass. To maintain maximum speed requires that the

helmsman is getting this input continuously. Your eyes,and even your ears and your balance sense and inborn ac-celerometer are constantly gathering this information andmaking adjustments. It would be unusual for me to golonger than 10 seconds without analyzing this stuff duringa race, and its usually a continual process. The autopilotgives you a break. It gives you the opportunity to makesail changes and adjustments and take care of the dozensof other chores you have to do while sailing. Most im-portantly in a sail of this duration, it gives you a chanceto rest. Frequent 15 minute naps can keep you going for along time. However, the autopilot is a huge battery drain.

After mid-morning Sunday I didnt have enough juice in

the batteries to use the autopilot except for brief periodswhen I had to go somewhere else on the boat to do some-thing. As a result, I was tethered to that steering wheel forthe next three days, and my eyes, ears, and other senseswere constantly taxed. I had a spare voltage regulator onboard and changed it out, but it didnt help and actuallyoverheated my chart plotter (a device that displays anelectronic map and shows you where you are) with thehigher voltage output. That required another x.

By Monday night I simply couldnt ght sleep depriva-tion any more. I found myself unable to stay awake nomatter what I did. That loop and the periods before andafter were the result.

Around 2 a.m., 39 miles from the nish line, I made alast ditch regrouping, got the boat going where I wanted,

and called in my position. Thats the last thing I remem-ber until waking up at 6:15, drifting. The boat had heavedto on its own, and was drifting at about 1 knot. I dontremember falling asleep.

It was like waking up in college realizing that youveoverslept for a nal exam. I was sure people had noticedwhat had happened and had summoned the Coast Guardand Search and Rescue which would be sending a cutter orhelicopter at any time.

I made a couple of hurried phone calls to the race chair-man and Linda to assure them that I was still alive, thenheaded for the nish line. That last 30 some miles was ahard sail. I had dropped from 2nd to 5th place. It wasnt

long, though, before I remembered that my goal in thisthing wasnt a win, t was to nish, and I was going to dothat. It really didnt take very long before I was feelinggood about things again, and glad to be heading home to awife who I appreciated more than ever, and friends whosesupport was incredible, well rested, I might add.

After the race, when I explained my situation to the vet-erans, they all just chuckled and related the times on pre-vious Challenges that they had done the same thing. Theyalso reminded me that they dont call this a race, but achallenge.Mark Smith of Port Clinton sailed the 312 statute miles of

the Lake Erie Solo Challenge on Aug. 17-20. The Challengebegan at Monroe, MI, made the turn near Buffalo, NY, andnished near Erie, PA.

Port Clinton natives Rob Zajac and KyleKilmer released their fourth studio al-bum, To Ohio, At Last, with their bandDaddys Gonna Kill Ralphie (DGKR)at aCD release show Saturday, Aug. 17. Oth-

er members of the band, Corey Salts ofVickery and Toby Fallsgraff of Chicago,although not natives of Port Clinton, feelthat Port Clinton is the home of DGKR.

Fallsgraff started the band at Ohio Uni-versity, performing as a solo act. Throughworking at the college radio station hemet Zajac and they started making musictogether. They released their rst album,Letter Carrier (if these buttons control

you) in 2004 after graduating from OU.Over the course of two more studio re-cordings, the band grew into a four pieceband, adding Kilmer and Salts.

The latest release from the band, ToOhio, At Last, was friend-funded andhand made by the band and their friends.Through the online fundraising site Kick-starter more than 200 of the bands sup-

porters from all parts of the countrychipped in to help fund their project. Thecampaign raised nearly twice their statedgoal. When you have that kind of out-pouring of support from your friends, itsthe best motivation, said Fallsgraff. It re-

minds you why youre doing this.With the money in place for the album,the band could execute their vision for ToOhio, At Last. The vinyl art was done byPort Clinton native Clare Pluckhorn andwill be released this fall. The CD art was allscreen-printed, cut, and hand-made by theband and their friends, a source of greatpride for the band.

This band doesnt exist without PortClinton. Its our meeting place, the placeweve recorded each of our albums, andreally its a central part of our bands iden-tity, said Fallsgraff. I think no matterwhere we all go as individuals, the musicis being made right here next to Lake Erie.

Daddys Gonna Kill Ralphie releases areavailable on Amazon.com and through theiTunes music store.

Head Coach: Beau Carmon, 1st seasonLast Year: 1-9 (0-7 SBC)Outlook: Beau Carmon is hoping to

change the culture at Port Clinton.Though the Redskins were able to do

some good things under ormer headcoach Toby Hammond, they were neverable to get over the hump and establishthemselves as consistent winners in theSandusky Bay Conerence. In act, PortClinton hasnt had a winning season since1993.

Carmon spoke about trying to turnthings around within the program, which,he said, starts with investing time in theweight room during the oseason.

I really think a culture change (is need-ed), Carmon, said. Until our kids proveotherwise, Im going to continue to call

out how tough we are. Im not sold thatweve made a commitment to the weightroom. Its got to be better. I know, frst-hand, you can get by with good athletes,but it can only get you so ar. We reallyneed to put an emphasis on conditioningand our oseason eort when we arentplaying a sport. And even when we areplaying a sport (during the oseason), itsimportant to get into the weight room.

The Skins will run a spread oense thateatures a variety o looks with anywhererom 2-4 wide receivers seeing the feld atonce. But Carmon insists that running theootball is what he considers paramount,regardless o the ormation.

Well try to be 60/40 run-frst oense,he said. I certainly want to try to establishthe run.

Sophomore Brandon Moore will start

at quarterback with the Lowe Brothers,Keegan and Emerson, serving as the pri-mary running backs. By the end o last sea-son, Keegan was the starting tailback and,according to Carmon, Emerson, a resh-man, has a bright uture ahead o him.

Aidan Rospert and Jack Warner will startat wide receiver with Cole Araguz and Na-than Stubblefeld manning the slot posi-tions. Warner, a junior, will also see sometime at tight end. The oensive line, whichstarts three sophomores, includes, romlet to right, Trenton Williams, AndrewCline, Cameron Rodriguez, Eric Wheelerand Stone Scott.

The deense, which operates out o a 4-2-5 ormat, eatures Scott, Cline, Will Rollinsand Keegan Lowe on the line.

The linebacking core includes Araguz,Preston Keck and Tristan Mallory with Cal

Laurel serving as ahybrid between saetyand linebacker. In thesecondary, Stubble-feld and Cory Bealwill start at corner-back with Jesse Esc-obedo serving as theree saety.

On deense my co-ordinator, J.T. Bates, ismuch more aggressivethan I used to be. J.T is pretty creative withhis stunts and his blitzes. I think we willbe a risky deense; we will take chances,I think we have to. Were not as big andstrong as a lot o teams.
