The VFW Post 2480, located at 214 Madi-son Street in downtown Port Clinton, Ohiois currently experiencing the stresses o thepoor economy.

Our services are donated to the com-munity, in most cases. We support mili-tary, student and other charitable groupsthrough the donation o the use o theiracilities.

As we move orward and attempt to ad-just and survive, we ask or your supportand consideration o what the communitywould miss, should we not survive.

Your suggestions, support and donationso any type are welcome in our quest to re-main a viable part o the Ottawa Countycommunity.

Salvation ArmyThe success o Ottawa County is truly

the story o David and Goliath. It is evi-dent each and every year that I have beenthe Director or The Salvation Army in thisamazing County. Each year our Red KettleGoal is given to us by The Northwest OhioSalvation Army in Toledo and this year wasraised to $55,000.00. Because o the tre-mendous generosity and support o ourCommunity along with the support o ourBell Ringing Volunteers o Ottawa County,we raised $60,776.32!! The 662 Bell Ring-

ing Volunteers o Ottawa County rang thebell or 1,500 hours! Congratulations toeach and every bell ringer and donor inOttawa County, or we could not have at-tained this unattainable goal without you!!

For the past our years, as Director oThe Salvation Army Ottawa County, Ihave been amazed and overwhelmed at thecharitable devotion that the people in Ot-tawa County have. This year, we had threeindividuals/organizations who have joinedThe $1,000 Club. Jeerson Elemen-tary Students raised $1,208.16, CIC raised$1,065.25 and a special award to MayorDebbie Hymore-Tester who, given TheMayor Challenge by Mayor Bell in Toledoto beat his $155, not only conquered him,

but dominated him, by raising $1,025.53 injust 1.5 hours!!From the toy collection boxes, Angel Tree

tags, Coat collections, mitten trees, toy do-nations and monetary gits that are a steadystream in my ofce rom Oct. 1 throughDec. 31, I am, once again, speechless at thebigheartedness o Ottawa County!!!

We also have received and distributedover 1032 coats this year, through our Coatsor Families Program and distributed over6,500 toys to nearly 1,700 children throughour Toy Program, with over 100 volunteers.

Without the generosity o the Communi-ty and Volunteers, we could not have servedso many people in need in Ottawa Countyand these programs that The Salvation

Army oer year-round, could not happen.It is with great pride and admiration, orwhich I am proud to say, I live in and workin Ottawa County!

owes to current and future generations tomaintain these natural areas that all of usown together.

The building will include changing areas,vending, locker areas, outdoor showers,lifeguard ofces and storage space. Theformer building will be demolished as partof the project.

East Harbor State Park is located alongthe north coast of the Marblehead Penin-sula and includes 1,500 feet of Lake Eriebeach, a marina, campgrounds, picnic ar-eas, and scenic wetlands. The park openedin 1947.

Brenda Cantu has lived in Port Clintonfor quite a while. Last Spring, she tookthe plunge, so to speak, and invested inthe restaurant site in the Midway Plaza onNortheast Catawba Road, or Ohio 53, in

Catawba Island Township. Previously, shehad invested in a popular dining spot onWest State Street in Fremont that formerlyhoused Bonnie and Cys Restaurant. Shechanged the name there to Sweet HomeCaf. Her new place in the Midway Plazais Sweet HomeEatery wherethe CatawbaCaf used to be.

The vision isfor a full ser-vice family din-ing restaurantin both loca-tions. Custom-ers can expect

a menu chockfull of home-made comfortfood servedin hearty por-tions. Theirsignature din-ner item is alightly breadedchicken dinnerwith home-made side dish-es and uffybiscuits. Theycan be servedon plates orin buckets for

carryout. Theyalso featuregourmet burg-ers on theirsignature bunwith a varietyof toppingsand homemadesides. Another

popular item is their open faced roast beef.Says Brenda Cantu, We are a restaurant

that food lovers enjoy. We cook with loveand fresh, tasty ingredients.

Hours of operation at the Sweet Home

Caf, 1224 W. State St. in Fremont are from7 a.m. to 8 p.m., Sundays through Thurs-days, and from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m., Fridaysand Saturdays. Hours at the Sweet HomeEatery on Catawba are from 7 a.m. to 3p.m. Thursdays through Sundays.

Ouch again! The Port Clinton Redskinssaw their record drop to 4-6 overall and4-2 in the Sandusky Bay Conerence overthe weekend, as they ell to Huron in over-time on Friday and to Fremont Ross onSaturday.

In the game Friday night, the Redskinshad a 9-point lead with less than 2 minutesto go when the Huron press got to them.Hurons Cody Thompson, who scoreda game high 28 or the Tigers, drove thelane with time ticking o, then dished to ateammate in the corner who dropped in a3-pointer as the buzzer sounded in regula-tion. The Tigers scored all 8 points in theovertime to win, 65-57.

We simply did not handle their pressurelate in the game on Friday, said CoachTroy Diels on Monday. They showed itearlier in the game and we were able to doOK against it, but or some reason we didnot respond well to it in the last two min-

utes. Deensively, we didnt do what weneeded to in order to get stops late in the4th and in overtime so that is also some-thing that we will work to correct. Huronscored 19 o the last 21 points o the game

in regulation and overtime.On Saturday night, the Red-

skins had a similar outing,only the oppositions spurtcame much earlier. The Red-skins took a one point leadearly in the 3rd quarter on aKelley Friemark triple, andthen Fremont Ross went on a

run through most o the 3rdquarter. They started the 4thquarter on a big run as well,and the end result was a 67-50 loss at home. This time,Coach Diels said it was a com-bination o Rosss pressureand mental lapses. To me itseems to be hal mental andhal physical. We have justdone uncharacteristic things

to allow teams to take advantage o us.The Redskins will try to get back on the

winning track this weekend when they playClyde at home on Friday and unbeatenNorwalk on the road on Saturday. With

Clyde we will see a lot o the same thingsthat we saw against Huron and Ross. Theywill try to orce us to be up tempo and wewill need to respond better. Clyde is a pe-rimeter oriented team that likes to shoot alot o threes so we need to be able to de-end well and control the boards.

On Saturday, PC plays 10-0 Norwalk.They have been as good as advertised,

says coach Diels. They have good guardsand a nice balance o post play inside.They are still very young in that they startand play several underclassmen but theyare very, very good. They will also lookto make us play at a quick pace so we willneed to play with composure on Saturdaynight as well.

Redskins look to bounce back rom drubbing

Game rescheduledThe Port Clinton Freshman boys basket-ball game against Clyde has beenrescheduled from Feb. 24 to Feb. 3.

Danbury 40, Maumee Valley 19The Lakers controlled things rom the

start, outscoring Maumee Valley, 14-6 inthe frst quarter and 11-1 in the secondperiod to take a 25-7 lead at the hal.

The Lakers had a well-balanced scoringattack that saw Erin Lavelle fnish with 11points, Tori Wright score nine points andStephanie Kukay and Kelsey Clemons fn-ish with six points apiece. Clemons alsohad eight assists to help pace Danbury.

Danbury head coach Ron Aukerman wasquite pleased with his teams perormance.That is something that weve been

working towards, some people steppingup and taking the scoring burden o oKelseys shoulders, said Aukerman. Wecant rely on one person to score a major-ity o points or us on one night.

Coupled with the loss to Cardinal Stritchearlier in the week, the Lakers are now 3-6overall and 3-2 in the Toledo Area Athletic

Conerence (TAAC).The Lakers ace Toledo Christian (6-2,

4-1 TAAC) on the road at 7 p.m. on Thurs-day, host Ottawa Hills (7-1, 5-0 TAAC) at2:30 p.m. on Saturday and travel to San-dusky to play St. Mary CC (6-5) at 7:30p.m. on Tuesday.

(Toledo Christian) is very tough, veryathletic, they provide a lot o pressure,said Aukerman. Theyre usually one othe top two teams in the conerence.

Cardinal Stritch 51, Danbury 33Cardinal Stritch (3-7, 2-3 TAAC) won

by jumping out to an early lead and out-scored the Lakers 23-17 in the frst hal,controlling the game rom that point on.The Cardinals stretched their lead to a10-point margin at the end o three quar-ters (39-29) and put the game away with12-4 advantage in the ourth quarter.

Stritch was led by Abby Maas, who scored17 points, and Marisa Katafasz and CatyRieker, who scored nine points apiece.

Kelsey Clemons had a game-high 19points to help pace the Lakers.

BOYSCardinal Stritch 62, Danbury 48Ater alling behind 16-9 at the end o

the frst quarter, the Danbury Lakers wereoutscored 21-15 in the second period, giv-ing Cardinal Stritch a 37-24 lead at thehal. From that point on, the Cardinalscontrolled the game.

With the loss, the Lakers all to 0-8 over-

all and 0-4 in the TAAC.Danbury was led by Caleb Helline, whofnished with 16 points. For the season,Helline, who has led the team in scoring inall eight o its games, is averaging an even21.0 points. Helping to pace the Lakerswas Dalton Chapman, who had 12 points,and Kegan Rakosky, who scored 10.

The Lakers play Maumee Valley CountryDay (7-1, 3-1 TAAC) on the road at 7:30p.m. Friday.
