This week- end was the first time ice formed locally on Lake Erie. Cathy and Bob Adorni of Perry Street provid- ed a photo of the ice forma- tions right at Port Clinton’s City Beach over the weekend. But it didn’t last long. Unfortunately for the ice fishermen, the really cold weather didn’t stick around, as highs went back into the 30s and 40s and Mother Nature even dumped thunderstorms on the area Sunday night. A chance of rain continues throughout the week, until tempera- tures are forecasted to drop into the 20s again this weekend, when we might see more snow flurries.

The Greater Port Clinton Area Arts Council in partnership with the City of Port Clinton is commissioning Ottawa County artist Mike Sohikian by installing his piece “Restructur-ing Matisse,” a metal sculpture at the Friendship Park on Perry Street.
The exhibit will be available for viewing as an exhibit from Jan. 26 to mid-April. With the help of artists like Mike Sohikian, the City of Port Clinton and the GPCAAC are able to
display art in t h e c o m -m u -nity at no ex-p e n s e to the t a x -
payers of the area. The placement of public art along Perry Street helps create identity for Historic Down-town Port Clinton’s retail corridor and conveys a message that the com-munity values the cultural arts and our local talent, said Carol Morgan of the GPCAAC.
Featured artist is Mike Sohikian of Genoa. Mike is a retired ironworker with a lifetime love and appreciation of art, but he did not begin his career until 1995. Sohikian is best known for his taking salvaged steel to new heights with innovative concepts.
In the past 13 years his paintings and sculpture works have been published in news articles and numerous art publications, most noteworthy is in-clusion of his work in four of Schiffer Publishing Collectors Editions, most recently Ironwork Today Volume
3 (Illustrated) by Arthur Wil-liams, 2011. Mike’s paintings and sculptures are in more than 400 art collections nation-wide. Mike’s sculpture “Restructuring Matisse” installed in this exhibit was voted the most popular sculpture in the Canton, Mich., sculpture exhibit.
The Greater Port Clinton Arts Council is a non-profit organization created to strengthen, support and promote arts and culture in Ottawa County. It was founded in 2006 by a group of people trying to raise mon-ey for a larger than life bronze statue of a local fisherman and during the process discovered there was more to it than just purchasing and placing.
For more information, call Carol Morgan at 419-341-0979.

Danbury Township is seeking individu-als interested in serving on the Zoning Commission or Board of Zoning Appeals.
Those interested should call Zoning In-spector Kathryn Dale at 419-734-6120 or email her at [email protected] to learn more about the activities of these boards.
The Zoning Commission meets at 7 p.m. on the first Wednesday of each month and is responsible for amendments to the zon-ing resolution and map. The Board of Zoning Appeals meets at 6:30 p.m. on the third Wednesday each month and hears applications for appeals, variances and conditional uses.
To be considered for a board position a person’s residence of record must be Dan-bury Township. A letter of interest should be submitted to the zoning inspector. Pri-or experience or knowledge about zoning please should be included in the letter.
Currently there is an opening for an al-
ternate position on the Zoning Commis-sion. Zoning commission members are responsible for the contents of the zoning resolution. Their job is to keep the zoning resolution up to date for the protection of the township as a whole. For these purpos-es the zoning resolution not only includes the text, but the zoning map as well. The zoning commission proposes to the town-ship trustees any changes to the text or the map as they determine to be in the best in-terests of the township.
The Board of Zoning Appeals is in inde-pendent board authorized to hear appeals in matters relating to all zoning ordinanc-es and to review zoning ordinance inter-pretations made by the zoning inspector. Because the board acts somewhat like a court, it is called a quasi-judicial body and is required to follow accepted procedures and to fairly evaluate the relevant facts in each case that comes before it.
Both the commission and appeals board are comprised of five mem-bers appointed by the town-ship trustees. Each member is appointed for a five-year term. Each term is staggered to have one term ending each calendar year. Members may be reappointed by trustees. The trustees also appoint two alternate members for five-year terms. The commission is supported by zoning depart-ment staff that receives and reviews applications.

Swai is a white-flesh fish (typically available in fillet form) with a sweet mild taste and lightly flaky texture that can be broiled, grilled, or coated with bread crumbs and fried, according to experts. It can be prepared simply, but also takes well to sauces. A 3.5 oz. serving of plain fish contains around 90 calories, 4 grams of fat (1.5 saturated), 45 grams of cholesterol and 50 milligrams of sodium.

For the last month or so, a number of people have told us that they are not spending another winter shut in,shoveling out, and shriveling up. They want someone else to clear the walks, maintain transportation, make hot soups, look after that winter cold, and so much more.
Right now, we are taking reservations for newlyremodeled patio homes, apartments and assisted living suites for just the winter or for as long as you’d like.
Don’t sit out on all the benefits of living in a full service community one more winter. Call us today or visit us during our upcoming Open Houses onSunday, January 29th or February 5th from 1pm til 3pm!

After 35 years of community service ac-tivities and educational meetings, the Oak Harbor Young Farmer Wives Chapter has decided to end their meetings and activi-ties. Over the years, this group of women — associated with agriculture in Ottawa County — has been busy with numerous educational meetings, creation of holi-day crafts, making numerous donations to Community organizations, FFA Camp Scholarships, Ohio Young Farmer Associa-tion activities and donations to the Ottawa County Fair.
This group began their meetings in 1976, with Barb Lorensen serving as the first president of the newly organized Oak Harbor Young Farmer Wives Chapter. The other officers during the organization year included: Linda Apling, Barb Libben and Gail Overmyer.
Here is a summary of donations from this group over the past 35 years:

TOLEDO - People say it’s just a cookie. But the Girl Scout cookie can do many
things. It could send a girl to camp. It could help pay to refurbish a room at a homeless shelter. It could cheer up a soldier who is far from home.
As the nation enters the 100th year of Girl Scouting this year, the organization’s cookie mission remains the same. A Girl Scout cookie could still help buy supplies for underprivileged kids, or fly a troop of girls from Port Clinton, Bowling Green or Elmore to Washington, D.C.
Cookie sales are now under way in the area, offering six different choices. The girls in scouts decide where the money goes from purchased cookies. They have big hearts and big imaginations.
Girl Scout cookies can help bring out the confidence in a girl, said Barbara J. Bonifas, CEO of Girls Scouts of Western Ohio. “It’s no easy thing to ask a stranger to buy something. You have to speak up, look them in the eye, believe in what you’re doing and believe in yourself. With every season of Girl Scout cookies, another gen-eration of girls learn to set goals, make a plan and manager money.
It will help them in the future as women, no matter their path, she said.
“Girl Scouts is the best leadership devel-opment program for girls in the United States.” Bonifas said. “The Girls Scout Cookie is a hands-on leadership and busi-
ness activity where girls develop five es-sential skills—goal setting, decision mak-ing, money management, people skills and business ethics. Troops often decide to spend some of their cookie sale earnings investing in the community through ser-vice projects.
All Girl Scout Cookie Sale proceeds stay in the community. This year, customers can choose from their old favorites: Thin Mints, Samoas, Tagalongs, Trefoils and Do-Si-Dos, or they can try a new addition this year - a lemon wedge cookie called Sa-vannah Smiles, which pays tribute to the 100th Anniversary of Girl Scouting.
In addition to the money earned by the girls, Girl Scout cookie proceeds support leadership training and camp operations as well as a variety of Girl Scout program activities. Girl Scout cookies are made by Little Brownie Bakers. They sell for $3.50 a box.
In 2012, Girl Scouts is celebrating its 100th Anniversary. The organization has nearly 14,000 adult volunteers, and serves 50,000 girl members in 21 coun-ties throughout western Ohio and south-eastern Indiana. In the 1930s, Port Clin-ton joined the Maumee Valley Council of the Girl Scouts; the remainder of Ottawa County was included in the 1960s.

The Fremont Flight Academy is hosting its fourth annual Private Pilot Ground School.
In order to earn a Private Pilot’s License, the Federal Aviation Administration re-quires a student to pass three tests: writ-ten, oral and a flight test. The private pilot ground school’s main objective is to give the instruction necessary for students to be confident to pass the written and oral portions of their private pilot test. The FAA requires that a student receive ground training in several areas and this ground school is designed to surpass all FAA re-
quirements.The school is taking anyone interested
in learning to fly, whether it be to start a career in the field of aviation, or just an interest in picking it up as a hobby or skill.
The private pilot ground school will be held at the New Fremont Airport, 365 S. Ohio 53, Fremont on Saturdays running through March 31. The classes will be held from 10 a.m. to noon. The Fremont Air-port is located just one mile south of Terra Community College.
For questions and to register, call Chris at 419-332-8037.

When you think of eating in the Ottawa County communities west of Oak Harbor, probably the first word that comes to mind is “homemade.” That would be an accurate descriptive word for The Village Inn in El-more.
Every day, seven days a week, The Village Inn is there serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. Owner Heather Socie and Man-ager Brandy Morrison pride themselves on friendly service, delicious homemade soups, Lake Erie perch and homemade pies. Their house specialties are hot roast beef, chicken pasta and pitas. Another
favorite is a refreshing Toft’s Ice Cream homemade milkshake.
In spite of its hometown atmosphere and approach, The Village Inn has garnered regular customers from near and far. One of its regular groups is the Elmore crowd known affectionately as “The Knights of the Round Table.” They also get visitors from as far away as Chicago.
The Village Inn, 362 Rice St., is open all year long. Their hours are 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. Mondays through Fridays; from 6 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturdays, and from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Sundays.

Graham Veysey, a 29-year-old entrepre-neur and candidate in the U.S. Congressio-nal race for the newly remapped 9th dis-trict, has released a 30-second commercial
that introduces him to voters.
Veysey is in a three-way race for the March 6 Democratic Primary for the U.S. House of Represen-tatives in the district, which now spans the
north coast of Lake Erie – from Toledo to the west side neighborhoods of Cleveland. He is running against long-time incum-bents U.S. Rep. Marcy Kaptur (D., Toledo) and U.S. Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D., Cleve-land).
This is Veysey’s first time running for political office and the campaign prom-ises this spot is just the beginning of his outreach to voters. Though many consider him a dark horse, Veysey said he is quickly gaining steam and gathering supporters.
The campaign’s ultimate goal is for Ku-cinich and Kaptur to divide the establish-ment vote while Veysey’s growing support will leads to a victory on March 6, said campaign manager Jason Russell.
The television spot is being played on Time Warner Cable and is targeted at Democratic primary voters. “We have an enormous challenge in the next 46 days to introduce Graham to voters. We think that if voters know that there is alternative to the status quo - two people who have
been politicians for a combined 70 years - the voters will prefer to support a fresh face that represents the future as opposed to two people in Congress who represent the past,” Russell said.
Veysey is a former grassroots organizer for Barack Obama’s 2008 presidential bid and a small business owner in the Cleve-land area. He said he was born the same year Kaptur was first elected to Congress.
“Nobody knows me. I don’t need a poll to tell me that my name recognition is in single digits - if that,” Veysey said. “What I do know, though, is that only 9 percent of people think Congress is doing a good job and if people know that there is someone like me that wants to represent the inter-ests of the new 9th District more than the interests in Washington, I think I can earn their vote.
“We are going to be outspent by over one-million dollars. My opponents col-lect money from special interest groups and lobbyists. We can do better. We have a $15 trillion debt. Congress is mortgaging my generation’s future. I was always taught that if you break it, you buy it, you own it. They’ve broken it and my generation will have to own it so we should have a seat at the table.”

The Port Clinton Redskin boys’ basketball team has been struggling, not just with making shots and maintaining
intensity and discipline on defense, but keeping healthy players on the floor. With a makeshift lineup last Friday, the Redskins managed to control the Edison Chargers for a 46-35 win on the road.
The Redskins are playing without a pair of senior starters – Aaron Mier and Jason Faust. Mier had knee surgery last Friday and is likely done for the year. Faust has a strained Achilles and might come back in February.
Redskin Coach Troy Diels has no other choice but to ask for other players to step up. One who has is 6-foot, 6-inch tall Alex Greene, who had 11 points and 13 rebounds against Edison.
“Alex has been very solid for us this year,” says Coach Diels. “He has consistently put up good numbers. His teammates have done a nice job getting him the ball and Alex has responded.”
Greene’s 11 points led the Redskins balanced scoring at-tack that took charge early against Edison, taking 16-7 ad-vantage after the first quarter. “I liked our intensity from the start of the game,” said Coach Diels on Monday. “We came out with a purpose and set the tone against them and established a lead that we were able to keep through-out the course of the game.”
Thursday night the Redskins host the 1-11 Oak Har-bor Rockets in an attempt to make it two straight. “I have had a chance to see them play recently,” says Coach Diels. “They are perimeter oriented and they are led by Greg Haar, (who led them in scoring last Friday night in a loss to Margaretta). He is a very good talent and quietly having a good year. We need to have someone step up and take on
the challenge of guarding him.”The Redskins come back on Saturday night with anoth-
er SBC game against improving Margaretta on the road. “They have been on a roller coaster as well this year,” says Troy Diels. “We were able to disrupt their flow on offense the last time and we will need to do that again if we expect to get a win at Margaretta. I feel we have an advantage on the inside and we will try to take advantage of it.”

In spite of winning seven of the 12 events last Thursday, the Port Clinton women’s swim team dropped a close 97-89 decision to Notre Dame Academy at home. The boys swam against St. John’s Jesuit and were well dunked at 129-35.
Again, leading the way for the Port Clinton Girls team
were Cheyenne Meek and Mackenzie Stewart with a pair of individual wins each. Stewart also swam a leg of the winning 200 Individual Medley Relay team. Her individ-ual wins came in the 200 IM and the 100 breast-stroke.

GIRLSEdison 45, Oak Harbor 36
Down 20-15 at halftime, the Rockets were outscored, 13-6, in the third quarter as the Chargers pulled away to win, 45-36.
For Oak Harbor, which has lost five consecutive games, is now 4-10 overall and 1-9 in the Sandusky Bay Confer-ence (SBC).
Edison (11-3, 7-3 SBC) was led by Ciara Reed, who had a game-high 20 points, and Susan Knight, who finished with 14 points.
Allison Dunn led the Rockets with 11 points, Makayla Carpenter scored 10 and Abbie Gezo finished with nine points.
Oak Harbor has a chance to get back to its winning ways with its next two games coming against Huron (Fri.) and Lakota (Tues.). The Rockets beat the Tigers (0-9, 1-13 SBC) earlier in the season, 58-54. As for the Lady Raiders, they haven’t fared much better, going 1-11 this season.
The girls also lost earlier in the week to Port Clinton, 55-36. More information on that game appears in this sports section.
BOYSWoodmore 61, Oak Harbor 27
The Rockets were dominated throughout, falling behind 16-2 after one quarter and 29-10 at halftime before losing, 61-27, to the Wildcats.
Woodmore’s Donny Bowen and Jon Sandwisch led all scorers with 14 points apiece. Oak Harbor was led by A.J. Cecil, who finished with 10 points, and Austin Wiegand and Greg Haar, who had seven points apiece.
With the loss, the Rockets fall to 1-12 on the season.
Margaretta 52, Oak Harbor 40
With the scored tied 18-18 at halftime, Margaretta out-scored Oak Harbor, 34-22, in the second half to take con-
trol in their 52-40 win.Midway through the third quarter, the Polar Bears (6-6,
5-3 SBC) slowly built their lead and pulled away from the Rockets.
Corey Kane led Margaretta with 12 points, 10 of which came in the second half, and Austin Moore and Andrew Freeh finished with 10 points apiece.
Oak Harbor’s Greg Haar led all scorers with 14 points, including four 3-pointers.
Rockets head coach Eric Sweet said that, for his team, it came down to failing to execute on the defensive end.
“We didn’t get back (on defense) and we gave up buck-ets. They made runs and we didn’t, and that’s the differ-ence,” he said.
With the loss, Oak Harbor is now 1-7 in the SBC.
Clyde 66, Oak Harbor 42
After building a 10-point lead in the first half, the Fli-ers outscored the Rockets, 39-25, while cruising to a 66-42 win.
Clyde had three players finish in double figures, led by Joey Cooper, who had 16 points. Zach Warner and Sam Jess finished with 15 and 11 points, respectively.
Greg Haar had a game-high 17 points, highlighted by four 3-pointers, and teammate A.J. Cecil scored 11 points.
Oak Harbor head coach Eric Sweet was displeased with the effort put forth by his club.
“They out-worked us tonight,” said Sweet. “Coach (Ryan) Carter has got them playing their tails off (and) we didn’t match their intensity.”
With the win, Clyde improved to 7-4 overall and 5-3 in the SBC.
On Thursday, the Rockets travel to Port Clinton (5-8, 5-3), which defeated Edison, 46-35, after suffering four consecutive losses. The Redskins are led by center Alex Greene, who’s been a sustained force in the post, and Brandon Stubblefield, a consistent three-point threat. Oak Harbor then hosts Edison (1-11, 0-8 SBC) on Saturday, which it beat, 44-43, earlier in the season for its lone vic-tory. The Chargers have struggled mightily this season as they’ve had to replace all five of its starters from a team that won the SBC last season.

SANDUSKY, OH – Lake Erie Shores & Islands – the Erie and Ottawa County Visitors Bureaus - is hitting the road this month to promote the region’s visitor destinations at several
travel shows. One of the first was the AAA Great
Vacations Expo in Columbus Jan. 20-22, where 13 of the region’s tourism industry businesses will join forces
to promote the area. This large representat ion has resulted in Lake Erie Shores & Islands being acknowledged as one of the major sponsors of the show.
Participating industry partners include Cedar Point, Ghostly Manor Thrill Center, Good-time Lake Erie Island Cruises, Jet Express, Kelleys Island, Lakeside Association, Mill-er Ferries, Perry’s Victory and In-ternational Peace Memorial, Put-in-Bay Chamber of Commerce, Put-in-Bay Tour Train, Put-in-Bay Winery, Sawmill Creek Resort and Schedel Arbore-tum & Gardens.
Lake Erie Shores & Islands Welcome Center staff will be on hand to pro-mote these and all other visitor desti-nations in the region.
Lake Erie Shores & Islands has been a part of this annual show since it began in 2009 and this year they are poised to make the biggest impact yet. The group will occupy a 40 foot by 40 foot space loaded with activities and exhibits to attract attention and engage show visitors.
A special features includes a Jack Sparrow impersonator joining the pirate-themed group from the Put-in-Bay Chamber of Commerce. Ad-ditionally, Cedar Point is sponsoring an appearance by Snoopy and will also have a moving, roaring, 10 foot-long dinosaur to promote their new Dinosaurs Alive! Adventure. Ghostly Manor is providing a “green screen” activity that superimposes people’s photos over fun backgrounds, and the Put-in-Bay Winery will be pro-viding wine tastings at a specially constructed Tiki bar. There will also be a mini “beach” created with more than four tons of sand and a 20 by 40-foot Lake Erie waterscape mural as a backdrop to the booth area.
Guests will be able to register for hourly prize drawings and in the pro-cess have the opportunity to sign up for email newsletters and to receive detailed information about visiting the Shores & Islands area.

The Ottawa, Sandusky, Seneca Joint Solid Waste District has recently launched a new and im-proved Web site at www.recycleoss.org. The site has a similar look as before but now features brighter col-ors, increased recycling op-portunities and convenient tabs for quick searches.
The recycling portion of the site experienced the most improvement. The District has maintained the interactive maps of each county, which allows residents to view town-ship, city and village re-cycling drop-off informa-tion. However, quick tabs have been introduced to search for more recycling opportunities. Residents can search for curbside re-cycling programs, private
businesses and non-profit organizations accepting materials to recycle.
The district has also in-creased the listings of recy-clable materials and loca-tions accepting materials for disposal. The available tabs on the Web site have been created to make the process of searching for in-formation convenient, effi-cient and informative.
“We look for a variety of ways to communicate with our residents and using the internet has been a valu-able tool,” said OSS Solid Waste District Director Tim Wasserman. “The Web site is one way that some-one can get their recycling questions answered 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.”
Residents can also find the district on Facebook by searching: Ottawa San-dusky Seneca Green Recy-cling Scene and hitting the like button on our page. For more information, call the district’s main office at 419-334-7222 or toll free at 1-888-850-7224.
The Ottawa, Sandusky, Seneca Joint Solid Waste Management District was created under HB 592, which required counties to form single or multi-coun-ty solid waste districts. The District has developed a solid waste plan, which ensures disposal capacity. The District also sponsors waste reduction, recycling and reuse programs de-signed to meet recycling goals. The District’s Board of Directors includes the Board of Commissioners in Ottawa, Sandusky and Seneca County.
