According to OhioMeansJobs. com, there are over 14,000 jobs available in northwest Ohio and in northeast Ohio there are over 17,000. These are jobs that spread over many industries and skill lev- els. In Oawa County, we do not typically follow the trend of unemployment that the state of Ohio holds. Due to the seasonal workforce in the tourism industry, there are times where Oawa County’s unemployment is double the state average. Statewide the unemployment rate for November 2014 was 5% and December 2014 was 4.8%. In Oawa County those numbers were higher: November 2014 the unem- ployment rate sat at 7.3% and in December it rose to 8.4%. Still, this is a far cry from January 2010 when Ot- tawa County’s unemployment rate was 19.3%. With that being said, there is hope. There are many companies that are in Oawa County that are growing in manufacturing and skilled trades, but there seems to be a gap in the workforce. “We have companies that are willing to invest in people. They want them to stay in their company,” said Jamie Beier-Grant, director of the Oawa County Im- provement Corporation. “Its job retention. They are not just looking at today. This is a good indicator of our economy when companies are investing in their people. Right now, we have a lot of companies doing that. With that being said, there is a gap in skills in the workforce. We are seeing a strong demand for skilled trades (jour- neyman cards and two year technical degrees) and not seeing a lot of demand for four year degrees.” Beier-Grant explained that people that do have skilled trade experience are currently employed. She feels that there are not enough people in the upcoming genera- tion that are qualified for these skilled trade jobs. In 2008 when there was a downturn in the economy, there were many layoffs to the skilled trade industry. “There was a contraction of employment across the board in 2008. Now companies are growing their com- panies again. Those people who were laid off then now have jobs in their field.” In 8-10 years Beier-Grant predicts that there will be an even higher demand for workers in the skilled trades. “If we haven’t had kids graduating and going into the skilled trades’ field; its supply and demand. There will not be enough of the two year technical degree holders.” The Oawa County Improvement Corporation along with other entities around the county have researched and implemented ways to try and get students interest- ed in the skilled trades industry. “We want to get students engaged in different areas that they might have interest in; expose them to the skills and commitment level a career takes. We need to find out what they like and what they don’t like about it. We can take what they did like and apply that to the last few years of education. We want to bridge and pave the road for them and set them up for aſter high school.” Beier-Grant wants students to know there are other options besides four year college. She points out that the process is an overwhelming experience. She also points out that there are many internship and apprentice programs available at companies. Graduates can go into the workforce and get an education for their career. “We need to look for ways to see what career paths are available and advertise what’s available. We need to pitch to eighth, ninth and tenth graders. We need to take what we have already done and expand; expose the stu- dents to help them with their decision on their career path.” “We need to retain kids and keep them here to move the community forward. We need to excite them about what is here and what is available.” “There will always be a need for four year degrees and if that’s what someone is really interested in that is the path they should take, but right now we are seeing a gap in skilled trades that will only grow.” The Oawa County Improvement Corporation re- ports that in 2014 Oawa County experienced a 7% job growth with 185 new jobs being created. These numbers don’t count jobs that were created, but not filled. Manufacturing and industrial jobs tend to be high paying and offer full-time employment all year. Beier-Grant said there are 22 manufacturing and in- dustrial companies within Oawa County. The com- panies that we have are growing; they are producing business models and projecting sustainability. This will cement their existence for the future. “The business community in Oawa County cares about their community and their children. When you care about those things your business succeeds. There are very, very good companies in Oawa County and they are homegrown and successful.” Unemployment numbers drop, skilled trades gap increases “We need to retain kids and keep them here to move the community forward. We need to excite them about what is here and what is available.” JAMIE BEIER-GRANT n Director of OCIC THE OTTAWA COUNTY IMPROVEMENT CORPORATION: OCIC.BIZ OHIO MEANS JOBS: OHIOMEANSJOBS.COM U.S. BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS: BLS.GOV OHIO LABOR MARKET: OHIOLMI.COM OHIO DEPARTMENT OF JOB AND FAMILY SERVICES: JFS.OHIO.GOV For more information

Dear community members,
As many of you know, we retired almost two years ago. We may in the near future be moving to a smaller home. Leave Port Clinton? Heavens no. We would miss seeing and chatting with all of you in the stores, at school events, at the library or just walking around town.
We have maintained many of our files throughout the years, but a smaller residence means less storage and so we must part with a lot of our files. If we did any photog-raphy for you between 1977 and 2000 (family, children, high school senior, publicity, wedding or other) and those files are still stored, you are welcome to purchase your negatives.
Weddings are $50 for the entire envelope and all other types are $25 per envelope. If you are interested, please contact me through the studio phone number 419-732-3412. We plan to maintain much of our digital files from 2001 to present for the time being. I continue to do re-touching, artwork and copy restoration projects. I am still available to digitize and restore your negatives, slides or prints on our digitizing equipment.

Intense purplish red color. Sweet, spicy and intense aromas, with notes of red fruits and herbs. In the mouth, this wine is soft, velvety, fresh, and well balanced.
Dona Paula "Los Cardos" Malbec Columbia Valley, WA Dark red with ruby rim. Cherry spice, blackberry, plum, black pepper,
hint of vanilla and supple tannins. This juicy, lip-smacking red is the epitome of California Cabernet Sauvignons. The refined aromas of cherry spice, plum and black pepper compliment the bold structure and supple tannins. With a hint of vanilla in the balanced finish, The Pessimist pairs well with food or is ideal to enjoy alone.

Ottawa County Auditor Lawrence Hart-laub is a recipient of the “Distinguished County Auditor” award, presented by the County Auditors’ Association of Ohio (CAAO). The award recognizes county auditors who have completed 100 or more hours of continuing education during their term of office.
Hartlaub was recognized and received the award from CAAO Northwest District President Kevin Garringer, Henry County Auditor, during a recent district meet-ing. In recognizing this achievement the
CAAO notes, that when considering the time commitments on county auditors in general, it is truly an accomplishment for a county auditor to have over 100 hours of credit.
Section 319.04 of the Ohio Revised Code requires county auditors to complete at least 24 hours of continuing education during their term of office. Hartlaub ob-tained his training in topics such as Fun-damentals of Mass Appraisal, Disaster Recovery Plans and two mandatory class-es in ethics and substance abuse.

Many people think that the only rea-son to consider estate planning is for the avoidance of estate tax and probate. These are major reasons but to me they are not the most important reasons. Estate plan-ning generally needs to be done:
• TODAY, ALIVE AND WELL. You have a plan, whether you thought it through or just let it happened. How are your assets titled? Have you placed your ac-counts in jeopardy with the problems of another? If you placed another name on your title, what happens if they have an accident, get divorced or get into financial problems? Are your assets at risk? If you get sick, do you have documents that allow someone else to speak for you or assist you with your day to day business such as pay-ing bills or filing tax returns? Are you still in control? Have you protected your own assets from the personal misfortunes such as an accident or a health problem of the other person? Is your current ownership titled for the best tax outcome when you get sick or die?
• TOMORROW WHEN DISABLED OR ELDERLY. Suddenly you are disabled or it seems, suddenly, you are “old”. Are you prepared for others to legally help you personally and financially? Are your accounts in danger of being taken over by another who seemed to be the right person at the time it was created but now may take advantage of the situation? Will there be conflicts among the children? It is so important to select those who will protect you rather than select “Bob” because he is the oldest. Again, control is major but it may be a decision of who should have control because you can no longer handle your affairs. Have you planned for independence or will you be de-pendent on others without any ability to control the decisions?
• POST MORTEM PLANNING. Do you have the documents in place to
control what happens to your STUFF? This could be a million dollars or just the family homestead. Have you titled assets to transfer automatically or by will, if you have one? What if you placed your daughter’s name on your account and you have four kids. I hope your daughter will share?
My father always said you need to treat your kids’ equitably not necessary equal. How do you transfer the family business or the antique car? Leaving real estate to all four can many times guarantee the property being sold to someone that you would not approve. Allowing the one child that lives next door or is active in the busi-ness the first right to purchase the real estate at the appraised value may solve a problem while being fair to all.
Automatic transfers sound simple but can have disastrous consequences if the recipient is in financial trouble or will not honor their word to make equal with the other siblings.
The point of this article is to show that to do nothing can only create bad results. It does not matter whether your estate is large or small. The purpose of estate planning is to take the steps necessary to insure personal protection while you are alive and confidence that your wishes will be fulfilled at your death.

In honor of Black History Month this February, and in the spirit of Dr. Charles Drew, an African-American surgeon who was the first medical director of the Amer-ican Red Cross and a modern blood-banking pioneer, eligible donors as diverse as the patients who need their blood donations are encouraged to give blood to ensure a sufficient blood supply.
Blood from a donor with a similar ethnic background as that of the patient is less likely to cause complica-tions, particularly for those patients whose chronic conditions require repeated transfusions. Sickle cell disease is one such chronic condition affecting as many as 100,000 people in the United States.
Prior to transfusion, blood type and Rh factor are matched between donated blood and the patient in need. In some cases, additional red cell markers in do-nated blood must be matched, as well. These markers are best found in blood from donors of a similar ethnic-ity.
With seasonal flu and inclement winter weather pre-venting many regular donors from giving, the Red Cross urges healthy, eligible donors to make an appointment to donate blood in the coming days and weeks. All blood types are currently needed to help maintain a diverse and sufficient blood supply, especially types O negative, A negative and B negative.
To learn more about donating blood and to schedule an appointment, download the Red Cross Blood Donor App, visit redcrossblood.org or call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767).
Brush StreetWood CountyBradnerFeb. 7: 9 a.m.- 2 p.m., St. James Lutheran Church, 165
Timmons Rd.How to donate bloodSimply download the American Red Cross Blood
Donor App, visit redcrossblood.org or call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767) to make an appointment or for more information. All blood types are needed to en-sure a reliable supply for patients. A blood donor card or driver’s license or two other forms of identification are required at check-in. Individuals who are 17 years of age (16 with parental consent in some states), weigh at least 110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood. High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also have to meet certain height and weight requirements.
About the American Red CrossThe American Red Cross shelters, feeds and provides
emotional support to victims of disasters; supplies about 40 percent of the nation’s blood; teaches skills that save lives; provides international humanitarian aid; and supports military members and their families. The Red Cross is a not-for-profit organization that depends on volunteers and the generosity of the American public to perform its mission. For more information, please visit redcross.org or visit us on Twitter at @RedCross.

The Redskin girls and the Olmsted Falls boys emerged as champions of the Redskin Bowling Tournament held at Star Lanes at the Harbor in Port Clinton on Saturday, January 24. Forty five high school bowling teams from around Ohio participated in the tournament.
Reilly Wittman led the Redskins with a 553 series (152-219-182) to earn All-Tournament Team Honors third and Alysia Zoeller 552 (188-170-194) for All-Tournament Team fourth. Sam Stroupe was seventh with a 519 series, Joz-lyn Seamon eleventh with 495 and Eryn Binder was thir-teenth with 490.
The top four qualifiers on each squad advanced to the 8 Baker Game Match-play segment with a 30 pin bonus for winning each Baker game.
The Lady Redskins were fourth going into the final po-sition round game, trailing second place Bowling Green by 100 pins. They rolled a 218 final game defeating Ross-ford and with the bonus tallied 248. Bowling Green rolled 147 and the Redskins made the top two step-ladder finals by one pin.
After losing the first game to Kettering Fairmont in the two of three format, the Lady Redskins came roar-ing back to win the final two Baker games to claim the championship.
“Our girls were fantastic today,” said Coach Bob Black. “We had our backs to the wall several times today, but they found ways to win.”

Olympic hopeful J.D. Bergman to speak at OHHS on Feb. 7BY YANEEK SMITH
Twenty years of training and just under 20 months remaining.
That is the mindset Oak Harbor native J.D. Bergman is carrying with him as he continues his journey on the wrestling trail in the hopes that he can qualify for the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro.
Bergman, a 2003 graduate of Oak Harbor High School, will return home on Feb. 7 to speak before the community at the high school. The first part of the event, which will be held in the cafeteria at 1 p.m., is a chicken barbecue lunch that costs $10. Bergman’s speech will be held from 2-3 p.m. in the auditorium and costs $15. The cost of attending both events is $20. Pro-ceeds go directly to Bergman’s Road to Rio fund to help him on his journey to the Olympics. Bergman will discuss his Olym-pic journey and give a world-class health talk on wellness.
“It will be a chance for people to hear the truth about their body and their health that you just don’t hear in our culture,” he said. “I’ve been blessed to have the oppor-tunity to speak all across North America
and I’m very excited to come home to share with the people of northwest Ohio, especially at Oak Harbor High School.”
Bergman promises to inspire and notes that the event is family-friendly.
Most recently, Bergman, who just re-turned from Colorado Springs, where he was wrestling against some of his team-mates at the U.S. Olympic Training Cen-ter, won the Gold Medal at the Brazil Cup in November. Oddly enough, the event was held in Rio, where Bergman, one of the best wrestlers in the world, hopes to return next year as an Olympian. Next month, he’ll compete in Cuba and then travel to Turkey in March. Earlier in 2014, he finished third at both the U.S. World Team Trials and the U.S. Open, events that he won the year before. His banner year might have been 2010 when he won the U.S. Open and the U.S. World Team Trails for the first time and was named the Wrestler of the Year by USA Wrestling.
Those are just some of Bergman’s ac-complishments. Currently ranked third in the country at 97 kilograms, Bergman has experienced success at some prestigious
tournaments. He was the Ziolkowski International champion in ‘12, finished third in the Yasar Dogu In-ternational competition in ‘11 and was second in the Alexander Medved Inter-national in ‘10. Collegiately, he was a three-time All-American and finished sec-ond at the ‘08 NCAA Cham-pionships as a member of

The Ohio State wrestling team. (Bergman, a proud Buckeye, sug-gested that I capitalize “The.”) After graduating from OSU in ‘08, Berg-man left with 129 career victories, which at the time were the sixth-most in the program’s history and was one of only 16 Buckeyes to reach the century mark in career wins. In high school, Bergman was a two-time state champion and ac-cumulated an 85-0 record during his final two years as a Rocket. He was a force on the football field as well, earning All-Ohio honors in Division III as a first-team running back in ‘02 while leading Oak Har-bor to a Sandusky Bay Conference title and an appearance in the re-gional semifinals.
The cause has certainly endured as medical expenses have piled up over the years. Bergman has under-gone four knee surgeries, suffered a broken back, tore two laburnums and most recently, sustained a torn disc in his back. The things that I have to do to keep my body func-tioning at the highest level is a lon-ger list than most people because of what I’ve been through. For those interested in donating to the cause, visit www.bitl.y/JDRoad2Rio. In fact, Bergman’s story so resonated with Pursu.it that he is one of just five U.S. athletes that were chosen to be part of the fundraising cam-paign. (The campaign ends Jan. 28.)
“It’s a crowd-funding platform for athletes to help them achieve their goals and meet their training needs,” said Bergman. “It helps me pay for my medical expenses and massage therapy and organic gro-ceries and stuff like that. I’m 95% funded and it’s going pretty well.”

Behind a game-high 19 points from An-drea Cecil, Oak Harbor jumped out to an early lead and slowly took control on their way to a 46-31 victory over Port Clinton.
The Rockets outscored the Redskins, 13-7, in the first quarter and Abby Dornbusch’s driving layup on the first play of the sec-ond quarter put Oak Harbor ahead by eight. Port Clinton would get within eight points just twice during the rest of the game.
After Emily Ashley connected on a free throw to make it a 23-16 game late in the first half, Cecil took over, scoring the final six points of the quarter to give the Rockets a 29-16 lead going into the break. She con-nected on a free throw, hit a three-pointer from the left wing with 55 seconds remain-ing and, after a back-and-forth sequence that saw both teams turn the ball over, Cecil converted on a mid-range jumper with 21 seconds left.
Oak Harbor pushed the lead to 33-16 after scoring the first four points of the second half, but Hannah Weaver and Bethany Ur-ban keyed a 5-0 run, only to see the Rockets respond with a 5-0 run of their own to take a 38-21 lead after three quarters.
It was the first loss after 15 consecutive wins for Port Clinton, who are now 15-2 and 7-1 in the Sandusky Bay Conference, alone in first place. Oak Harbor, meanwhile, got a much-needed win after falling to Huron last week and is now 8-7 overall and 5-4 in the league.
The Rockets’ pursuit on defense was the difference as they forced the ‘Skins into some tough shots and prevented Port Clin-ton from getting into any sort of a rhythm.
“We’ve been working on a defense to stop dribble drives and to match up with the perimeter shooters that we’ve seen,” Oak Harbor coach Tom Kontak said. “Which-ever team has the lead completely controls the game. It was almost a reversal of Game 1 when Port Clinton had the lead against us.”
The game he’s referring to came on Dec. 19 when the ‘Skins defeated the Rockets, 58-52.
Sophomore forward Maddy Rathbun was a force in the post, scoring 16 points while cleaning up the glass and scoring inside on a number of occasions. And Dornbusch, a freshman, finished with six points and scored on some key drives to the basket.
“In the first half, I thought Maddy was an absolute beast on the boards,” Kontak said, “and was about as determined as I’ve seen
her. And Abby has really quarterbacked our team. What she and Emma Barney do is free up Andrea and get the ball up the floor when (the defense) is concentrating on An-drea. The confidence Abby and Emma have has grown.”
Port Clinton, which is currently ranked 15th in Division II, is still in control of its own destiny in the league. The ‘Skins are currently one game ahead of Clyde in the loss column.
“(Oak Harbor) played like their capable of playing, and hats off to them,” Port Clinton coach Toby Bickel said. “They beat us in ev-ery single phase of the game.”
Port Clinton returns to action this week, hosting Tiffin Columbian in non-confer-ence action and Perkins in an SBC title on Saturday at 2:30 p.m. The game against the Pirates is important because it gives the ‘Skins an opportunity to stay ahead of Clyde in the race for the league title.
“We’ll find out what we’re made of,” Bickel said. “We’re still in first place and we’ll find out what we’re made of. I think we’re made of something special.”
Port Clinton 62, Fremont Ross 48Holding a four-point lead at halftime, Port
Clinton used a strong performance in the third quarter to break open their game with Fremont Ross as they defeated the Little Giants, 62-48.
With the Redskins holding a 31-28 lead at the 7-minute mark of the third quarter, Emily Ashley and Hannah Weaver went to work, helping to key an 11-2 run that saw Port Clinton push the advantage to 42-30. Ashley scored six points, four on field goals and two on free throws, during the run, and Weaver contributed with five, including a three-pointer.
The ‘Skins would hold a 45-33 lead after three quarters before Ross (3-9) would cut the deficit to nine points on two separate occasions. But Port Clinton would respond with baskets to stop both runs and ulti-mately put the game away at the free-throw line, shooting a remarkable 28-of-30 (93%) from the charity stripe.
The first half was much closer as the ‘Skins took a 12-10 lead after the first quar-ter before rallying from a 17-16 deficit to take a 29-25 lead into the half.
Ashley had a game-high 21 points, Beth-any Urban scored 14 and Weaver chipped in with 13.
Elayna Ackerman scored 21 points to lead Ross and Valerie Samson finished with 11 points, including three 3-pointers.
Oak Harbor outlasts Port Clinton, 46-31

BY JOHN KOZAK
In a game played last Saturday evening against visiting Old Fort, the Danbury Lakers fell behind early and had to play catch-up the rest of the evening and as a result lost, 62-33.
At the opening tip off, baskets were difficult to make as no one scored until 5:26 in the opening quarter when Danbury scored first. Danbury then struggled and fell behind 14-6 after the first quarter and 28-15 at half time.
Both Caleb Gerber and Hunter Stinchcomb paced the Lakers with 7 points each, followed by Ben Schank and Seth Vargo with 5 apiece.
Danbury JV lost their contest 44-38. The next boys’ home game is this Saturday against La-
kota at 6 p.m.
Danbury’s Connor Lenthe stretches to catch this long pass down court for an easy two-point play against Old Fort.Danbury 6’3” senior, Hunter Stinchcomb, has his eye on this short jump shot against Old Fort last Saturday evening.
