Speaking of St. Boniface, what a great story we got to publish last week about how 25 families got out on the street and raised
$100,000 in just seven weeks to keep the school open. My sister Ann Sardeson worked for many years for the Toledo Diocesan Schools, and one of her key as-signments was working directly with St. Boniface Principal Millie Greggila on ways to recruit more students. Again … congratula-tions to all involved.

2012 is starting to look like it could be a better year for local real estate sales in Erie, Huron and Ottawa counties. According to numbers released last week from the Ohio Association of Realtors, unit sales are up and so are prices.
“The Ohio housing market continues to display signs of recovering from the econom-ic challenges that have confronted the nation since the onset of the economic downturn that began in 2008, with sales activity in Feb-ruary posting gains of more than 19 percent from the mark set during the same moth a year ago,” said Robert Miller, president of the Ohio Association of Realtors.
Unit sales in February 2012 in the Fire-lands Association of Realtors area — which includes Ottawa, Huron and Erie counties — increased 6 percent, from 116 units sold in February of 2011 to 123 units sold in Feb-ruary of 2012. However, total dollar volume increased 12.3 percent in February, mainly due to a combination of increased unit sales plus a nearly 6 percent increase in the average sale price.
The year-to-date figures for the first two months of 2012 show similar gains. The number of units sold is up nearly 9 percent for the year, while the total dollar volume is up nearly 10 percent due in large measure to an overall increase in the average sale price compared to the same time frame a year ago.
All of those numbers are lagging behind the comparable figures from the State of Ohio as a whole which has seen a 16.5 percent in-crease in unit sales from the same two-month period a year ago.
Miller noted that a recent survey of the state’s real estate professionals suggests that the industry remains optimistic about the market’s outlook in the coming months. Sev-enty-seven percent of Realtors describe the current housing market in their area as mod-erate to strong, an 11 percent jump just since January. Eighty-two percent of Ohio Realtors believe home prices over the next year will re-main stable and could even post gains.

Farmers and friends gathered Friday in Oak Harbor for the 2012 Agricultural Community Breakfast. Karl Gebhardt, recent-ly named chief of the Ohio De-partment of Natural Resources Division of Soil and Water, spoke to the crowd about water quality. In a recent report, the directors of the Ohio EPA, DNR and Depart-
ment of Agriculture made several recommendations for decreasing the amount of agricultural phos-phorus flowing into the Western Basin of Lake Erie.
“We don’t have the need for more regulatory programs,” Geb-hardt said. “Farmers have a tradi-tion of stepping up to deal with the issues.”
The goal is to keep more agri-cultural nutrients on the ground
and out of the lake. Too much phosphorus in the water contrib-utes to dangerous algae blooms on the lake.
Gephardt suggested farmers test their soil before adding fertilizers and quickly explained 4R Nutri-ent Stewardship guidelines laid out in the report. Farmers are encouraged to apply fertilizer at the right source, at the right rate, at the right time and in the right
place.“There is no silver bullet,” he
said. “Different options will work on different farms.”
The state officials recommend better communication and edu-
cation among researchers and producers and a focus on spend-ing funds in the best way possible.
“Our No. 1 objective is to keep agriculture a viable industry,” Ge-phardt said.

Sound Off
The “Grassholes” are back!It’s that time of year again in Port Clinton. Trees are bud-
ding, grass is growing and the “Grassholes” are dumping grass in the streets again.
Familiar with the term “Grasshole?” This is an inconsid-erate or unthinking person who, when cutting their lawns, lets their lawn mower blow grass clippings into the streets.
Where do they think this debris is going to go? Most in-telligent folks know that the next rain will rinse the grass toward the nearest storm drain. If the grass doesn’t clog the drain, it will be dumped into our storm sewer system, adding to the already aged and over-stressed system of pipes beneath our streets. And when storm sewers can’t handle the rainwater runoff, remember the last two sum-mers of flooded streets and basements?
Throwing debris of any type in the street is against the law. And it’s just plain inconsiderate too. Don’t be a Grass-hole — keep your lawn in your lawn. And please pass this advice along to any neighboring Grasshole you see?
Yours for cleaner (and drier) streets,Jeff Bryden

THE GREAT MORELThe Great Morel has graced us with its presence in 2012. For most of
us we must still wait as the winter hiatus comes to a close, yet there are those few who are beginning to experience the delight. Most must con-tinue to wait in patience for this glorious rite of spring, which brings us the Great Morel. This often unexplainable and euphoric ritual in which we annual partake will soon be heading our way. As it news, our conversa-tion of the harsh winter many endured will be replace with conversation of the coming adventures of foraging as we wait for the appearance of the Great Morel.
The Great Morel wishes everyone the best of luck as this ephemeral of nature we have come to know draws upon us. May everyone’s rewards be plentiful, as you begin the search for the ever-elusive and oh-so mys-terious Great Morel!
Less is More...“I know that many people prefer to eat these with
some kind of coating, flour, crackers, etc.In my opinion, Less is More!I usually serve morels with a Red Meat dish. Nothing like
Morels and a big fat juicy steak off the grill! I use an Iron Skillet and melt as much butter as needed to cover what shrooms I have. I season the morels with salt and pepper only, maybe season salt if my taste buds desire, but that is all.
Sautee the mushrooms, over medium, heat until desired doneness and enjoy! I feel if you doctor them up too much you are really taking away the true flavor of these magnificent jewels of the forest.
Thanks and see you in the woods.”

The OSS Solid Waste District and the county juvenile courts of Ottawa, Sandusky and Seneca counties are working together to improve and expand litter pickup on township and county roadways throughout the three-county area. One of the district’s goals is to make residents more aware that discarded trash along roadways is ugly and unwanted and can be costly in equipment repairs and man-hours for road crews.
To combat this issue, the District contracts with the county juvenile courts to pick up litter along roadways. The program benefits residents by cleaning up unsightly litter and debris and providing youth the opportunity to work off community service hours as-signed by the juvenile court judge. The crew is supervised by an employee of the court and they work directly with the District, township officials and county road mainte-nance crews to plan a schedule to avoid activities like paving, construction and mowing schedules.
In 2011, a total of 1,290 miles of District roadways were cleaned, for a total collection of 871 bags of trash weighing more than 4,800 pounds. In addition, the crew makes an effort to separate items that may be recycled. Last year a total of 709 bags weighing in at 3,170 pounds of recyclable items (aluminum, glass) were collected. That’s a grand total of 7,970 pounds (almost 4 tons) of debris cleaned up from our roads.
In past years, the program has operated April through October but with the mild weather this season the crews have already started cleaning. If you approach one of our litter crews while driving any of our District roads, please take caution and slow down.
For information on recycling or litter prevention in Ottawa, Sandusky and Seneca counties, check out the District website at www.recycleoss.org.
The community is invited to the annual Ecumenical Good Friday Worship sponsored by the Danbury Ministerial Association. This year it will be noon to 1 p.m. Friday, April 7, at the First United Church of Christ, 802 Prairie St., Lakeside Marblehead.

Kay Cox, First United Church of Christ; Rev. Chris Young, St. John and St. Paul Lutheran; Rev. Jerry Phelps, Lakeside United Methodist Church; and Rev. Brad Hall, Chapel on the Lake.

An ecumenical choir will practice at 11 a.m. before worship. There will be a free-will offering and collection of food items, all to benefit the Danbury Food Pantry.

The Port Clinton High School Concert Band received a “Superior” rating this past Saturday at the Ohio Music Education Association Large Group Contest, the highest rating a band can receive. This is the sixth year in a row that the Port Clinton Band has received this top rating. The band is under the direction of Rod Miller, who is cur-rently in his sixth year as director of bands at PC Schools.
“I am so proud of these band members,” Miller said.
“They have worked very smart and very hard to achieve this rating for the 6th year in a row. I also want to thank all of the parents that came to support the band.”
The PCHS Band performed “Rough-Riders” by Karl King, “I Am” by Andrew Boysen, and “Foundry” by John Mackey. The band’s next performance will be the annual Sousa Concert at 7 p.m. Saturday, May 12, in the PCHS Performing Arts Center.
“I remember shooting marbles, playing 4-square and Mrs. Rice’s “Circle 3 Jambo-ree” in growing up at Carroll School.”
While we are sad that Carroll School will closing its doors at the end of the 2011-2012 school year, a day to celebrate its history is set for 2 to 4 p.m. Sunday, May 20. “A Building of Memories” is the theme as we join together and host a tribute to a school that holds many happy and fun memories.
Planning has begun and the committee is asking for past graduates, teachers, fam-ily, board members and friends to help us by sending us letters, sharing stories or historic pictures (copies will be made and originals returned) and mementos (maybe
an old valentine or story you wrote) of days gone by.
A video session has been set up for those who would like to share memories in this format. If you and some old classmates would like to sit down and share some fun memories, taping is scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday, April 4-5, at Carroll School from 5:30 to 7 (deadline April 3). We’ll have questions to get you going. What a wonderful way to share those crazy stories!
Call Linda Dick (Carroll School) at 419-898-6215 to schedule a time for the vid-eo session, bring in memorabilia, letters or volunteer to serve on the committee. Deadline for items is April 15.

FUN WITHDR. SEUSSImmaculate Conception School children recently enjoyed a presentation about Dr. Seuss and his books. Mr. Jim Kleefeld spoke to the children us-ing magic and the follow-ing book topics: “Horton and the Egg Cages,” “One Fish, Two Fish, More Fish,” “The Oobleck Solution,” “Sneetches,” “The Lorax” and “Was That A Cat in That Hat.” He explored the idea of how books play an important part in the learning process. Students watched Horton hatch an angel elephant while one student offered his shoe for an experiment only to discover the polishing ma-chine broke and his shoe disintegrated.

PC Seniors have joined the “Pink Army” in the fight against breast cancer and have scheduled two events to raise funds for the Susan G. Komen 3-D Walk for the Cure.
“Girls’ Night Out,” hosted by Mary Jane Happel-Mead-ows, PC Site Manager, and Jennifer Waldron of Gerner-Wolf Walker Funeral Homes, will be 5 to 8 p.m. Wednes-day, April 18, at the PC Senior Center, 320 E. Third St. Enjoy girl talk, pizza, snacks, games and the movie “The Help” for a $2 donation. Not only are the pizza and snacks courtesy of Gerner-Wolf Walker but G-W-W will match
the donations received at Girls’ Night. Call Mary Jane at 419-734-1481 or Juanita at 419-341-1080 to reserve your spot; seating is limited
“Cupcakes for the Cure” is the main event in the two-part “pink army” project. The “Cupcakes for the Cure” Competition and Cupcake Auction will kick off with a pink balloon release at 10 a.m. on Saturday, May 5, at the Knights of Colum-bus Hall, 108 Perry St. The contest will determine who makes the best cupcakes in Port Clinton while rais-ing funds for the fight. The contest is open to the public
and includes a Junior Division for ages 6-12. Contestants are asked to deliver 2 1/2 dozen standard-size cupcakes (six for judging and 24 for auctioning) to the K. of C. Hall by 9:30 a.m. on the day of the competition. Contestants may represent themselves, a business or a group. The cup-cakes will be judged on: cupcake taste, frosting taste, pre-sentation and uniqueness. Hot dogs, chips, and pop will be available for a small donation and Pinky the Clown will be on hand for the kids. Although there is no entry fee, pre-registration by May 2 is requested to allow for set up. Anyone wishing to make a cash donation or donate a raf-fle prize in honor or in memory of a “pink warrior” or for information, call Juanita Mills-Persely at 419-341-1080.
“Cupcakes for the Cure” is in response to a request to Port Clinton Seniors from Celinda Mills Gerhardstein (PCHS 1988) for assistance in raising funds ($2,300 each) to participate in the Susan G. Komen 3-D Walk in Wash-ington, D.C.
Celinda’s aunt lost her battle to cancer in 1973 leaving her husband to raise five small children. Celinda’s team-mate, Carol Carter, was only 14 when she lost her mother. Jennifer Waldron’s (G-W-W) mother and three aunts have also fought breast cancer. In 1998 Juanita Mills-Persely was found to be pre-cancerous and underwent a bi-lateral mastectomy. For Celinda, Carol, Jennifer and Juanita, this is a personal grudge as it is for many people out there with similar stories. Through the Susan G. Komen Foundation, much progress has been made in the battle against breast cancer. Maybe someday the Pink Army will make it go away completely.

DANBURY BASEBALL• Coach: Adam Steinbrick• Last Season: 10-14 (2-7 TAAC)• Returning players: Lucas Kennedy,
Branden Burke, Cory Schenk, Dalton Chapman, John Bunce, Zach Kalinoski, David Gast, Chase Botson
Last season, the Danbury baseball team, after struggling to a 9-13 record and a 2-7 mark in the Toledo Area Athletic Confer-ence (TAAC), redeemed themselves by winning the Division IV Sectional Cham-pionship with an 8-2 victory over Old Fort.
This season, manager Adam Steinbreck is hopeful that his senior-laden squad can achieve success.
The top of the lineup will feature Lucas Kennedy (C/P/OF), Dalton Chapman (P/INF), Branden Bahnsen, Cory Schenk (SS/P) and John Bunce (1B/DH), all se-niors. Steinbreck is confident that this quintet will do a sufficient job of providing enough offensive punch to keep the Lakers in games this season.
As far as pitching it concerned, Schenk and Branden Burke will serve as the team’s primary starters.
“They’re a good group of kids that we’re excited about,” said Steinbrick. “It’s going to be critical for us to start (the season) fast.”
The Lakers will play a non-conference schedule that features the likes of Huron, Port Clinton and Woodmore. Steinbrick hopes that competing against these bigger, competitive teams will prepare his squad for league play.
As far as the conference is concerned, Steinbrick sees Ottawa Hills, Northwood and Toledo Christian as being the top teams in the TAAC.
“We have 25 guys out, numbers are some of the best we’ve had in a long time,” said Steinbrick. “We just want to get better, we want to improve, if we can improve each week and get better, you never know what it will turn into. We’d love to get back in the situation we were in last year (in the tournament). Take it one game at a time, continue to use our strengths to the best of our ability. If we play to our potential, we’ll be happy where we’re at. It comes down to throwing the ball, catching the ball and, of-fensively, putting the ball in play. We try to put pressure on the defense and we need to make sure our pitchers throw strikes and play defense behind them.”
DANBURY SOFTBALL• Coach: Chris Matta• Last Season: 6-14 (2-5 TAAC)• Returning players: Angie Lancaster,
Jessica Hruby, Rhonda Chapman, Tara England, Engelica Cichocki, Evelynn Her-miller, Cassidy Rhodes
For Danbury manager Chris Matta, it’s all a work in progress.
One that, it appears, is making strides to-wards success.
This year’s squad, which is expected to be led by third baseman Angie Lancaster, re-turns a total of four letterwinners, includ-ing Jessica Hruby (CF), Rhonda Chapman (1B) and Tara England (P/RF). Those four, along with other returning players Engel-ica Cichocki (LF), Evelynn Hermiller (P/
RF) and Cassidy Rhodes (2B) as well as the newcomers, will look to replace Morgan Scott, Tori England and Felicia Beverick, who all graduated last summer.
“We’ll see how it goes, if our defense is strong, we’ll be in good shape,” said Matta. “We’ve been hitting well (in practice). My goal with (the pitchers) is to get them to throw strikes. We’re hoping to throw the ball over the plate and play good defense. Once you get outside (and start) playing – it’s gonna be interesting.”
Matta, who was an assistant under Vicki Gresh at Port Clinton for a number of years, touched upon the progress the pro-gram has made.
“Our first camp had 23 kids, we had it for the third year (this summer) and we are up to 50-some kids for the camp,” said Matta. “I’ve got three managers working with us. After these next couple years, we should be able to put some numbers. We have some classes coming through that should be good.”
In the end, Matta hopes that her confi-dence will rub off on her players.
“We want to win every game we play – if you don’t have that attitude, you’re in trouble,” she said. “We might surprise some teams. I like being the underdog.”
OAK HARBOR BASEBALL• Coach: Rob Schimmoeller• Last Season: 14-9 (7-7 SBC)• Returning players: Joey Mallernee,
Brian Mallernee, Mark Konieczny, A.J. Ce-cil, Phil Bryant, Trent Lacer, Josh Graber, Payson Galway, Cory Grotz, Trent Lacer, Logan Fisher, Cody Schultz
Last year was the Oak Harbor baseball team’s greatest season in school history. After finishing the regular season with a 9-7 overall record and a fourth-place fin-ish in the Sandusky Bay Conference (SBC), the Rockets won five tournament games, four in their last at-bat, to advance to the Division II Regional Finals before losing to Parma Heights Holy Name, 9-4.
The team must replace Josh Warnke, D.J. Everett and Jake Scott, but the bulk of the squad’s talent has returned. Warnke was a four-year starter at shortstop, Everett, who is playing collegiately at the University of Findlay, started at first base for three years and Scott was the center fielder.
Returning are the Mallernee twins, Brian (1B/P) and Joey (C), who were instru-mental in the team’s incredible run to the regional finals, as well as A.J. Cecil (OF), Mark Konieczny (SS) and Phil Bryant (2B), who will serve as the team’s primary offensive contributors. Last season, Cecil was named to the SBC’s first team, Koniec-zny and Bryant earned second-team status and the Mallernees were honorable men-tion.
Other returning letterwinners include Josh Graber (P), Payson Galway (OF), Cory Grotz (3B/P), Trent Lacer (cen-terfield), Logan Fisher (INF) and Cody Schultz (OF). Newcomers include Nate Segaard (3B), Justin Warnke (INF), Kaleb Maguire (OF), Alex Bores (P) and Jake Be-bow (INF).
Brian Mallernee, Cecil, Graber, Koniec-zny, Grotz and Bores will serve as the
team’s pitch-ers. With most of the pitchers returning from last year’s team, the Rockets could perhaps become more of a low-scoring, defensive-oriented squad that doesn’t have to rely as much on its offense as it did last season.
With the Rockets, the ques-tion is not whether or not they’re talented enough to make enough run through the tournament, but whether they can remain focused for the duration of the season.
“I would defintely agree that the mental focus is needed to make it that far (again),” said Rob Schimmoeller, a 1994 Oak Har-bor graduate. “For the players, the expec-tations are to go at least as far as last year. We’re trying to keep that in perspective.”
As far as the conference is concerned, Schimmoeller sees perennial power Per-kins as the league favorite with Huron and Port Clinton set to challenge the Pirates for the title.
OAK HARBOR SOFTBALL• Coach: Chris Rawski• Last Season: 5-15 (4-10 SBC)• Returning players: Kaylee Wilburn,
Erin Bryant, Allison Dunn, Sam Durivage, Rebecca Florio, Sydney Street, Maggie Ty-burski, Theresa Stokes
The good news is that Oak Harbor has a passionate, young coach that is willing to help build a successful program and is get-ting an elite athlete in Allison Dunn back after missing last season because of knee injury.
The bad news is that the Rockets are coming off a 5-15 season and have to re-place four-year starter Julia Konieczny.
Helping to complement Dunn, the sec-ond baseman, is Kaylee Wilburn (1B), Erin Bryant (2B/OF), Sam Durivage (P/C), Rebecca Florio (SS), Sydney Street (OF), Maggie Tyburski (C/OF) and The-resa Stokes (P). Durivage and Stokes will serve as the team’s primary pitchers. Newcomers include Haley Smith (OF), Allison Wolf (INF/OF), Justine Webb (3B) and Brooke Meyer (OF).
For now, manager Chris Rawski is focused on taking it one day at a time.
“We want them to work hard and focus on improv-ing every day,” said Rawski. “We have goals that we are trying to accomplish that we share together as a team (and) we work towards those goals everyday. Our practice is very competitive that helps us to deal with certain pressure situations.”
Rawski has the Rockets playing a tough non-con-ference schedule that features the likes of Elmwood, Gibsonburg, Maumee and Notre Dame Academy in the hopes that it will strengthen the team as before it enters Sandusky Bay Conference (SBC) play. He believes that Edison is the league favorite and sees Perkins and Clyde as having a chance to challenge the Chargers for the SBC crown.
“The conference is going to outstanding,” said Rawski. “Every night is going to be a challenge.”
For Rawski, who served nine years as an assistant coach, eight of them under Tom Kontak, whom he credits with helping to shape his managerial philosophy.
“It’s nice because I’m well prepared be-cause of the guys I worked with especially, Tom Konack,” said Rawski. “You have to be organized, build relationships, stay in con-tact (with players).”
Moving forward, Rawski believes that good things are in store for his Rockets.
“We’ve prepared ourselves with a very tough non-league schedule for (confer-ence play),” he said. “We’re learning how to finish off games and put ourselves in posi-tion for Ws.”

ClassifiedsLEGAL AD/NOTIFICATION
The region’s destination marketing organization, Lake Erie Shores & Is-lands, recently received another hon-or for the 2011 “Recharge” marketing campaign. A billboard, which was lo-cated on U.S. 6 in Erie County, was named “Best in Show” in the 2011 Joseph Radding Eight Sheet Outdoor Awards. The award was given by the Eight Sheet Outdoor Advertising Association, an organization which develops and enforces industry stan-dards for 6’x12’ billboards, called eight-sheets.
Each year the ESOAA judges eight-sheet billboards nationwide for cre-ativity and effectiveness. The judges for the 2011 competition were Dave Jacobs and Frank Nataro, each past
executives with the ESOAA, Ran-dall Williamson, Publisher and Editor of Out-door Advertising Magazine, and Cindy William-son, Marketing and Finance Di-rector of Out-door Advertis-ing Magazine. Eighty-two entries were considered for eight awards, eight runner-up awards and one “Best of Show.”
The Lake Erie Shores & Islands billboard was designed in-house by LES&I-East Marketing Manager René
Franklin and submitted to the com-petition by Hart Advertising. Other award-winning local billboards sub-mitted by Hart Advertising included Barnes Nursery and Miller’s Garden Center, as well as a runner-up award for Marconi’s Italian Restaurant.
