Marblehead resident takes over countys Republican Party

BY JOHN SCHAFFNER Marblehead resident Carolyn Adams understands the challenge that lies ahead. Ottawa County is now and has long been a Democratic Party stronghold. But now that she is the chairman of the Ottawa County Republican Party, she says that unity will be her new watchword. At its December meeting, the Ottawa County Republican Central Committee accepted the resignation of long-time County Chairman Terry Lowe of Williston, as well as the resignation of vice-chairman Joyce Murphy of Port Clinton. Carolyn Adams and her husband Dex moved to Marblehead from Lima in 2004 and got involved in local politics almost immediately. Things are different in Allen County it is a strong Republican area. There, Carolyn Adams served as Shawnee Township Trustee for 10 years and was their chairman when she retired to move to Marblehead. She helped with campaigns for Lima city government Republican candidates as well as Allen County candidates. She helped organize the Presidential Republican Headquarters in 2008 here in Ottawa County, and was appointed to the Central Committee in 2009. Says the new County Republican leader: I am so excited and proud the Ottawa County Republican Party Chairman! As party leader, establishing a policy of inclusion and unity is imperative. Setting common goals and reaching out across the County will be a priority, she added. I want to provide opportunities for involvement on all levels. She faces a daunting task in 2012. Former State Representative and Ohio Democratic Party Chairman Chris Redfern is back and involved in a big way. He is running for his old seat in the state legislature and was very active in helping new Port Clinton Mayor Vince Leone defeat incumbent Debbie Hymore-Tester. Ottawa County has two elected Republicans in the Ottawa County Courthouse. Both are County Commissioners (Mark Stahl and Steve Arndt) and both will be running for re-election in November. County Auditor Jodie Regal, a Democrat, has filed to run against Stahl. There have long been philosophical differences in both major political parties due in large measure to the geographic and demographic nature of Ottawa County. Carolyn Adams, in a recent meeting with a group of Catawba Island Republican leaders, pledged to work to unite all segments of the Republican Party in the county. She told the group there is too much work to be done to spend time worrying about west end and east end issues.

The swimming rivalry between Port Clinton and Perkins has been going on since PCHS opened their new high school in 1963. It continued last week with a dual meet last Tuesday, won by both the Perkins boys and girls teams. However, the PC girls made it close. Then last Saturday was the Sandusky Bay Conference Swimming Championships, also won by both Perkins teams. Again, the PC ladies were right there until the end. Mackenzie Stewart and Cheyenne Meek were both double winners for the Redskins, but they fell just a few points short. As we head into more events, no doubt the rivalry will continue for Dan Diaz and his swimmers.

Consignment sale comes to an end

BY LOUIS DAMSCHRODER SECRETARY/PAST ADVISOR The Oak Harbor Young Farmers group decided at its meeting last meeting month to end community activity and call a close to the annual Consignment Sale. The Young Farmers Chapter has conducted this event the first weekend in March for the past 36 years. The amount of hours in labor, and a dispute with the fair board over donations and use of the county fairgrounds lead to the decision. The Young Farmers Chapter wishes to thank the Oak Harbor community and Ottawa County for their run of consignment auctions, and for providing many dollars, which were donated back to this area in community service work. Over the past 36 years, and because of this main project and other special project donors (Pig Scramble and State Tour donors 2008), the Oak Harbor YF Chapter has given away more than $180,000. The breakdown since 1976 according to the minutes of the Oak Harbor Young Farmers shows that $143,464.61 went to the Ottawa County Fair; $17,900 to the Oak Harbor Community; $14,715 to the FFA for FFA Camp, FFA Foundation and College Scholarships; and $5,800 to the State Young Farmers Association in donations. A summary of the $143,464 donations made to the Fairgrounds includes: construction of six small and three large bleacher sets, installing hub rail at racetrack, helping to install manure pits, purchase of pens for the swine barn, purchase and installation of concrete flooring and water system in swine barn, donation to concrete in sheep and goat barn, purchase of livestock ring for show barn, conducted pig scramble from 19682005, conducted the Antique Tractor Pull for many years, donated numerous 4-H & Junior Fair awards, participated in Jr. Fair Livestock Sale as buyer for 40 years, $4,000 to Maintenance fund, Non-refundable deposits for use of fairgrounds for YF Consignment sales, Concrete for livestock scales, purchase of digital livestock scales, donation for Quality Assurance team polo shirts, donation for jackets for Youth Judging Teams, purchase of three barn fans, three remote broadcasts with Ed Johnson of ABN, donated labor to help construct shelter house, Pig barn wash area, installed holding tanks for waste water at swine barn, donated for benches and exhibits tables, and donated $750 for announcers stand.

Stein Hospice celebrates 30 years

When Stein Hospice opened its doors in 1981, hospice care was just starting to take root in the United States. Hospice was a new word and a new way of caring for those who were sick and dying. Now 30 years later, Stein Hospice is burgeoning. So is the national hospice movement, which is being recognized during November, National Hospice and Palliative Care Month. Coping with a life-limiting illness is not easy. Its about the most challenging thing a person will ever do, said J. Donald Schumacher, president and CEO of the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization. We want to make sure people know that help is available and thats why National Hospice and Palliative Care Month is still so important after more than 35 years of observance. Every year more than 1.5 million Americans living with a life-limiting illness and their families receive help from hospice and palliative care providers. In addition, more than 468,000 trained volunteers contribute 22 million hours of hospice service annually. Closer to home, Stein Hospice last year: Admitted 1,032 men, women and children as patients Received an average of 372 hours each week from volunteers Held Camp Good Grief in three cities (Huron, Port Clinton and Tiffin), reaching 71 children Provided more than 5,000 face-to-face grief counseling sessions In 1981, Stein Hospice began out of a tiny room in the basement of the former Providence Hospital in Sandusky. That first year, Stein cared for just 11 patients. Roland Homan was one of them. When the Monroeville farmer was told that his cancer was terminal and he had only six months to live, his family sought out Rosalie Perry, the nurse who had started the agency. Rosalie assured Rolands wife Irma that she would make her husband as comfortable as possible and follow Rolands wish to die in the hospital. Today, Irma is one of Steins biggest cheerleaders and Rolands daughter, Nancy Stallcamp is a long-time patient care volunteer for Stein. Rosalie said most of the patients in those early years had cancer. It was never true that hospice was just for cancer patients, but people seemed to believe it, she said. One of the biggest challenges was convincing a physician that talking to a patient about dying was a compassionate rather than an unkind gesture. The original name of the agency was Providence Hospital Hospice Association. The hospital funded the hospice through December 1983, when the agency became Stein Hospice to honor the generosity of Rose and Sam Stein. In those first years Stein often had more volunteers in the office than paid staff. Betty Ott started out volunteering one day a week, and before long was in the office so much they offered her a job. Now, 26 years later, Betty still works at Stein, as administrative assistant to Jan Bucholz, president and chief executive officer. During Bettys tenure, the longest of any Stein employee, she worked out of three of the four company offices. After leaving Providence, Stein moved to a little white house on Columbus Avenue, then an office on Madison Street, and finally, in 1992, into its current home at 1200 Sycamore Line. Today Stein has grown so big that one office cannot house all of its staff and services. In all, the not-for-profit agency has seven locations, including a 17-bed Care Center and offices in the Ohio Veterans Homes in Sandusky and Georgetown. Steins professional team of physicians, nurses, social workers, counselors, health aides and chaplains serve patients and families in seven counties (Erie, Huron, Ottawa, Sandusky, Seneca, Lorain, Brown) and the surrounding area. Hospice care is covered by Medicare, Medicaid and most private insurance plans, but at Stein Hospice no one is turned away because of inability to pay. As we continue to grow and plan for the next 30 years, the needs of our patients and families will remain at the forefront. Excellent, comprehensive services are and will continue to be Steins trademark, Jan Bucholz said.

Redskins looking for turnaround

BY JOHN SCHAFFNER Intensity! Just three weeks ago, the Port Clinton Redskins were in a showdown game with Perkins at home. They got blasted. Since then, they have struggled mightily, losing four more games in a row. Friday night, they were doubled up by Clyde at home and were held to under 30 points. I did not think that we were ready to play on Friday night, said Redskin head coach Troy Diels. We did not play with the energy that I would have liked to have seen out of our guys. Clyde played pretty well and they shot the ball particularly well, but we need to do a better job playing with enthusiasm, emotion and intensity. The Redskins have been having some injury issues with some of their key players. We do not know when we will get them back so we need to have our younger kids step up and play some big minutes for us, says Coach Diels. Saturday night they traveled to unbeaten and state ranked Norwalk and the result was pretty much the same, as the Truckers rolled to an 80-59 victory. Norwalk is playing very well right now, said Coach Diels. They have the ability to beat you in a variety of ways. The Thomas kid is a tremendous player for being only a sophomore. I thought we handled their pressure and traps fairly well, but we just could not match up with them on the defensive end. So, what is the solution to ending the Redskins five-game skid? We need to get better on the defensive end and we need to get the balance back in place between our perimeter players and our post players, explained Coach Diels on Tuesday morning. The Redskins are 4-7 and will play seven of their final nine games in the regular season on the road, starting with Friday nights game at Edison. We played a lot of home games so far this year, said Coach Diels. It seems like every other year we end up our home schedule early in February. We only have one more non-league game left this year and that is Fostoria in late February. Friday night, the Redskins play the SBC cellar-dwellers, Edison Chargers, who picked up their first win of the season over Monroeville last Saturday. Says Coach Diels, I am sure that win will give them some confidence going into Friday. Edison has never been very kind to us, so we need to be ready to go on Friday night.

Maumee Valley 68, Danbury 39 Danbury had a tough time with one of the best teams in its conference, falling, 68-39, to Maumee Valley Country Day.

MVCD, which is 9-1 overall and 3-1 in the Toledo Area Athletic Conference (TAAC) was led by Julius Turner, who finished with 19 points to lead the Hawks. Teammates Rick Deichert and Jared Sturt finished with 15 and 10 points, respectively. With the loss, the Lakers fall to 0-9 overall and 0-5 in the (TAAC).

Oak Harbor loses heartbreaker to Eastwood

BY YANEEK SMITH
BOYS
Eastwood 57, Oak Harbor 55 In a back-and-forth contest, the Rockets fell, 57-55, to Eastwood in non-conference action Saturday. The contest featured a number of lead changes that saw the Eagles lead after the first quarter, 15-8, before Oak Harbor rallied to take the lead at halftime, 23-20. But Eastwood, which trailed, 39-36, going into the fourth quarter, took control in the final period, outscoring Oak Harbor 21-16 to steal the win. With the loss, the Rockets fell to 1-9 on the season. It was a duel of sorts between Rocket guard A.J. Cecil and Eagle guard Jacob Faykosh. Cecil finished with 25 points and Faykosh scored 27 points to lead all scorers. It was a breakout game for Cecil, who hit four 3-pointers and was 7-of-7 from the charity stripe. Faykosh also connected on four 3-pointers and made all seven of his free throws in leading his team to the victory. Perkins 58, Oak Harbor 27 The Rockets were dominated throughout in their contest with the first-place Pirates, who led, 15-7, after one quarter and 34-14, at halftime before cruising to the 58-27 victory. Perkins (10-1, 7-0 SBC) had a balanced scoring attack that saw Michael Ebert finish with 11 points, followed Nic Williams, who had nine points, and Mitch Benkey Cameron Waldock, who scored seven points apiece. The Rockets got a game-high 12 points from A.J. Cecil and four
points apiece from Austin Wiegand and Sam Laderach. Tiffin Columbian 68, Oak Harbor 55 Tiffin Columbian outscored Oak Harbor in every quarter on its way to the 68-55 non-conference win. The Tornadoes outscored the Rockets by two points (14-12) in the first quarter, five (19-14) in the second, three (20-17) in the third and three (15-12) in the fourth. The Tornadoes (7-3) had the games top-three scorers, Nick Loura (18), Jonah Boyer (14) and Bryce Lonsway (14). Greg Haar led the Rockets with 12 points. This week, the boys travel to Clyde (Jan. 17), host Margaretta (Jan. 20) and face Woodmore on the road (Jan. 21). The Fliers (4-3, 4-2 SBC), who beat Port Clinton, 58-27, last Friday, have yet to face Oak Harbor. Margaretta (4-6, 4-3 SBC) beat Oak Harbor, 48-29, earlier the season and the Rockets have yet to face Woodmore this season, which competes in the Northern Buckeye Conference (NBC).
GIRLS
Ottawa Hills 66, Danbury 35 Ottawa Hills took control from the beginning, grabbing a 13-8 lead after one quarter before taking a comfortable 3219 lead at halftime. From there, MVCD pulled away, outscoring the Lakers, 21-4, in the third quarter to blow the game open before closing it out, 66-35. Allie Dewire led all scorers with 20 points and Caroline Arnos finished with 19 point to lead the Green Bears (9-1, 7-0 TAAC), the first-place team in Danburys Katie Almendinger goes high for this rebound against an Ottawa Hills defender Saturday.

With the loss, the Lakers fell to 3-8 overall and 3-4 in the conference. Toledo Christian 60, Danbury 31 The Lakers hung tough with Toledo Christian in the early going, trailing just 14-10 after the first quarter. But in the second quarter, the Eagles outscored Danbury, 20-5, to take a 34-15 lead and seize control of the game on its way to the 6031 victory. TC was led by Camille Gist, who had a game-high 19 points, and Darian Westmeyer and Lydia Yeager, who finished with 12 and 11 points, respectively.
