NATIONAL RIFLE AND PISTOL CHAMPIONSHIPS

PHOTOS COURTESY OF THE NRA COMPETITIVE SHOOTING DIVISION

Shooters headed to town Thousands will flood area for national matches

Some 6,000 of the nation’s finest competitive rifle and pistol shooters will gather at Camp Perry for nearly five weeks of intense shoulder-to-shoulder competition. The National Rifle and Pistol Championships run July 11-Aug. 18. Considered to be America’s World Series of Shooting Sports, the National Matches have been held at Camp Perry since 1907. At stake are the National Trophies and NRA’s Championship Trophies. These works of art, many more than a century old, represent some of America’s oldest awards for sporting endeavors. Both collections are on display in the NRA Trophy Room, Building 1021C on Camp Perry’s Vendor Row during the National Championships. Also featured during the competition are some chances for shooters at all levels to get in on the action. Sign up to learn and shoot in the Civilian Marksmanship Program’s Small Arms Firing Schools for pistol or rifle. Volunteering is another way to get involved in the matches. Volunteers get

By JOHN SCHAFFNER Publisher With all of the negative publicity about the local economy, there is at least one success story. What started as a small local telephone company designed to provide affordable service to local and area businesses, has blossomed into a multi-faceted media company based in Port Clinton. Computer Resources started in July of 1994 as a computer store located in the Port Clinton Shopping Plaza annex. It was during the early stages of the Internet boom, and owner Mike Christiansen figured they were in the good position to become the area’s primary service provider. They got it going with four modems on a shelf and started to compete with such well-known names as AOL and Prodigy. Within a few years, the company had 1,100 lines and modems and between 8,000 and 10,000 local customers … and it was all on dial-up. Seeing the future, Christiansen turned to broadband, particularly for his many local business customers. Then the question came up … what do we do with all of these phone lines and switches? The answer was a little “out of the box” but he figured, “why not start a local business-oriented telephone service provider company?” In 2002, Ohio Telecom was born. The service was sold to existing Internet customers who subscribed to cros. net (Computer Resources online services). The first customer for Ohio Telecom to provide local and long distance phone service was the Jet Express. The company grew between 2002 and 2007 when Christiansen hired Dennis Russo to do direct sales work and the telephone side exploded. Their aim was to become the local “phone company you keep” by bundling services to pass along affordable phone rates to local business. By staying within the 419 area code, they were able to provide local and personal service to their customers and save them between 20 percent and 30 percent on their phone bills. Today, the customer base for Ohio Telecom numbers in the thousands. By the fall of 2009, they were providing “voice over Internet protocol” capability saving their customers even more. But, in the whirlwind world of technology, there were still more opportunities out there. The newest offering by Christiansen and Russo is just now getting started. They have garnered the local service franchise for Direct TV, a satellite television viewing network. They are now the authorized local dealer for Ottawa, Erie, Sandusky and Huron counties. Direct TV is the largest

Well, I didn’t get to ride on her — but I had the next best thing. A Ford Tri-Motor Airplane was at the Port Clinton Airport giving rides this past weekend. I got to see her twice, as she traversed the skies out over the Danbury Peninsula. It was a wonderful sight. Known affectionately in this area as “The Tin Goose,” the Tri-Motor used to be the best (and sometimes only) means of transportation to the islands. She hauled passengers, freight and mail back and forth on a regular basis. I believe that the flight took about 8 minutes. A long time ago I remember there was a sign at the Air Field that billed this as “The shortest scheduled flight in the world.” Fans of the Tin Goose say she was one of the most reliable planes ever built. She could carry exceptionally heavy loads and could take off and land on very short runways. She is an icon. It was good to see making her slow way through the sky here in the Lake Erie Vacationland. It was like seeing an old friend. nnn

There is a spectacular display of decorative quilts at the Ida Rupp Library in Port Clinton. Most of these are smaller than bed-size and in a home would likely be used as wall ornamentation. These vibrant works of art really have to be seen because it’s impossible to describe them. Stop in to take a look. And be sure you have adequate time to wander around and get a close up view because there are many on exhibit there and you won’t want to miss any of them. nnn

This summer the Lakeside’s Farmers Market will feature foods grown within 50 miles of the community. A free 90-minute shopping pass for the Lakeside gates is available. Have

it stamped by a vendor before leaving the community through a toll gate. The market will be open 9 a.m. to noon Tuesdays and Fridays on Walnut Street, between Second and Third streets. Enjoy the home-grown produce as well as homemade jams, jellies, baked goods, etc. Port Clinton is holding a Farmers Market at the north end of Jefferson Street each Saturday morning.

Lately I’ve been noticing an abundance of a small yellow flower along the road sides. A friend looked it up for me and identified it. The common name for this perennial wildflower is Birds-foot Trefoil or Birdfoot Deervetch. Its flower is small, shaped like a pea flower, in bright yellow or orange colors, sometime with tinges of red. It is named for the shape of its seed pod, which looks like the foot of a bird because three of its five leaflets are grouped together at the end of the leaf stalk. Interestingly, in Great Britain it is called “eggs and bacon” or “eggs and butter” because of the flower’s vibrant color. This low-growing plant is a native of North Africa and Eurasia. It can be a valuable forage crop, an invasive weed or an ornamental flower or groundcover — depending on the variety and where it is growing. It was imported into this country as a forage

crop. It grows well in full sun or light shade and in almost any soil, sand or clay, wet or dry. Most importantly it grows in soil too poor to produce alfalfa. Its tiny seeds germinate poorly. It can be grazed (without the bloating of animals such as is caused by green alfalfa), baled or used for silage and is especially liked by geese, deer and elk. However, its fresh leaves are poisonous to humans. As a groundcover it can be trampled or mowed down to 2 inches and it will still bloom from June to September. Seeds may be purchased from multiple sources on the Internet. A double-flowered variety is used as an ornamental garden plant but it may invade lawns and smother other flowers if it’s not properly contained. It is an important source of nectar for many insects and it produces food for the caterpillars of at least six different butterfly species. This plant is very sturdy. It multiplies by seed, by underground rhizomes or by above-ground runners. It grows 6-24 inches high in a thick tangled mat of dense growth that can choke out other plants and therefore become a problem for native plants. Classified as invasive in nine states (but not in Ohio), it has a 3-foot long taproot as well as secondary roots. Controlling its growth is by frequent low mowing or with application of most general herbicides. Look for it. It’s in bloom now and it’s different from what we have previously seen along most roadsides. nnn

It’s time to renew your membership in (or join) the Friends of the Ida Rupp Library. This group assists the library with financial support for the summer reading program for kids, programs for genealogy research, and an on-site license to show films, etc. Their major activity is a used book sale, scheduled annually and open to the public. This year the sale is open to the public Aug. 6-7. That event presents great books for great prices. Visit it to find a great supply of materials to match your summer reading needs. Until next week…

Parking lots Notice how carts seldom find their way to the cart corrals and seem to “cluster” in available parking spots? Why not help a few strays find their proper place? Or, what I try to do, wheel one or two with you on your way into the store. Trash and litter in the lot? Pick something up and toss it into the receptacle by the store’s door. You know, the proper place for trash (which other shoppers couldn’t find.) The handicapped parking hanging placard gives permission for special parking to its owner — not to the car. If you don’t feel comfortable saying something to that agile driver hopping out of the car they just pulled into a handicapped parking spot, could you at least give them the “evil eye?” Street and sidewalk litter Since when are cigarette butts not “litter?” People toss them out their car windows; and even empty their ashtrays in the streets and parking lots! Pullllease! Grass belongs in your lawn. And lawns do NOT belong in street. Last summer, rains caused flash floods, because storm sewers were clogged with grass clippings. Grass in the streets goes into the sewers. It doesn’t take a “rocket scientist” to see that mower discharge chutes can either blow clippings back into the lawn (good fertilizer) or into the streets (litter.) As you drive down your street, which of your neighbors is considerate and intelligent enough to keep their lawn on their property? Out for a stroll around the neighborhood? There are probably few trash cans along the way, so take a plastic bag with you and pick up litter as you go. Imagine the collective impact from all us who like to walk! Highway safety At dawn, dusk and when it’s raining – how about headlights? It makes us more visible to cars and pedestrians alike — and it could save a life or two. In fact, it ought to be law! Oh, that’s right, it IS a law, isn’t it? Farmers and Boat Haulers: School bus drivers know that it doesn’t take long for traffic to queue up behind them. Most are courteous enough to pull off to the side after a few miles to let the pent-up line of cars get by. All equipment that is moving slower than the posted speed limit on the highway should be as considerate. My list of social “trifles” could go on, and I’m sure you can add dozens more. These “little things” have minimal impact and importance one by one. But collectively, they become part of the fabric of our society and reflect our concern (or lack of it) for our environment and our neighbors. I’m suggesting that the collective force of our personal contributions, however small individually, can greatly impact our community and make all of our lives safer and more pleasurable. Jeffrey H. Bryden, Port Clinton

In Val d’Adige, at Terra dei Forti, the climate is characterized by intense temperature shifts and by constant winds. These rare climatic conditions and the great experience applied by our men, careful of each single bunch of grapes, from the defoliage to the double harvest, make this the best area for the cultivation of Pino Grigio. It is all still based on personal labor, and on knowing the right fields and the winds, which is knowledge handed down over time. Pale straw yellow in color. The scent has traces of white, flowers white peach and ripe pear. In the mouth great structure and balance, long and complex ending with a spicy note. Goes well with delicate appetizers, risotti, fish, soft cheeses and steamed vegetables. Excellent as an aperitif. 100% Pinot Grigio - vineyard age from 15 to 40 years.

One of my favorite magazines recently carried a fable about a man and his son who traveled to the marketplace with a donkey. As they started out, the boy rode the donkey and the man walked alongside. Some passersby shook their heads in dismay. “The children of today have no respect for their elders,” they said. “Look at that poor man walking while his spoiled son rides.” The man and his son shifted places. Soon other people passed by and shook their heads in dismay. “Look at that big strong man riding on the donkey while his little boy has to hurry alongside,” they said. “Some parents just don’t care about their children at all. Why do they have them?” Soon both the father and his son were riding together. Along came another group of people who protested, “How can people mistreat their animals so badly. Imagine, two of them riding the poor donkey.” As the father and son both walked to the marketplace alongside their donkey, some people laughed. “Look at the stupid people. They are both walking when they have a donkey fully capable of carrying one —perhaps even both — of them.” According to the fable, both father and son arrived at the marketplace — both

carrying the donkey. We live in a world where people have deep interest in public opinion polls — in knowing the “in things to think and to do” and the “out things which no ‘in the know person’ would think of doing” to gain acceptance by following the crowd. The problem is public opinion is usually wrong about as often as it is right. The most consistent thing about public opinion is how frequently it changes. Public opinion is usually diverse enough that nearly half the people will think we are wrong even when we always go with what the majority thinks. The problem with basing our beliefs and actions on gaining something called public acceptance is that it is often a fear similar to carrying a donkey to the marketplace. Carried to its extremes, this practice is epitomized by a new movement in the United States which has labeled its adherents as Heterodoxuals and which views all doctrines as of equal value and all beliefs or even atheism as equally valid. Their creed states “Reality is my god and integrity is my religion.” By believing in everything, they end up believing in nothing. Find that which is of ultimate truth and rooted in the Creator. Build your life on that truth and the world will have great difficulty placing unnecessary burdens on your back.

In September, Emily Wadsworth joined Stein Hospice as a nurse at the inpatient care center. Friends worried that working at a hospice center might be difficult for Emily, whose cancer was in remission. “Because I have cancer, I should be there,” the 61-year-old Clyde nurse told them. Emily’s career at Stein was brief, but her impact was vast. She served patients and families with compassion and dedication, never satisfied until all their questions were answered. When Emily’s cancer returned and she was no longer able to work, she shifted her attention to other Stein projects. This spring she laid the groundwork for Emily’s Library. A room at the care center will soon hold books, recordings and computers to help educate and comfort patients and families. “I think one of the best gifts you can give a family is the understanding of what is happening,” she explained. Emily joined a Stein committee that was planning a caregiver conference so she could share her experiences from both sides of the bed. And in an effort to further reach out to others, she asked to be part of Stein’s advertising campaign. Emily wasn’t able to complete all her projects. She died April 8 at the care center, receiving the kind of care she once delivered. Stein Hospice helped Emily deal with her death on her terms.

COULD PAY OFF LATER. LIKE WHEN YOU RETIRE. With so much happening in our lives, it’s easy to lose sight of the future – like retirement. Edward Jones can help make saving for retirement easier with our monthly IRA investing program. This simple, convenient service puts your retirement investing on “autopilot” by letting you put aside a set amount every month into an Edward Jones IRA. You can even set it up so that the money comes automatically from any account you choose. A systematic investment plan does not assure a profit and does not protect against loss in a declining market. Such a plan involves continuous investment in securities regardless of fluctuating price levels of such securities, the investor should consider the financial ability to continue the purchases through periods of low price levels.

Women’s Club convention July 14

Five talented actresses will portray the Nuns of Hoboken in Playmakers Civic Theatre’s production of Nunsense.” They are Margaret Helbing (left), Emily Dunn, Connie Mosher, Brenda BouSliman and Frankie Bickel.

Playmakers opens ‘Nunsense’ Playmakers Civic Theatre’s final production of their 63rd season will be the irreverent and hilarious spoof “Nunsense” by Dan Goggin. The story concerns five nuns from Hoboken who are trying to raise cash to bury the remaining four of 52 nuns who died of botulism after eating tainted Vichyssoise. They decide to stage a musical to earn the burial money, and the hilarity begins. Playing the Rev. Mother Superior is veteran Playmaker musical talent Margaret Helbing. Sister Robert Anne will be portrayed by FrankIe Bickel, new to the PCT stage, but not to musical theater. Frankie is also the show’s choreographer. Connie Mosher returns to Playmakers after too long an absence to play Sister Mary Hubert. Arriving

at the convent without one clue to her identity is Sister Mary Amnesia sung by Brenda BouSliman who is also the show’s director. Rounding out this quintet of quirky sisters will be PCHS Drama Club and track stand-out Emily Dunn playing the novice Sister Mary Leo. Assisting BouSliman on music are Bob Bell and David Alvarez. Tech director Steve Heineman has been assisted by Alex Szabo and Dale Jensen with Jim and Brenda MacDonald as lighting technicians. “Nunsense” will be presented at 8 p.m. July 8-10 and 1517 and 2 p.m. July 11 and 18 at Playmakers Theatre, 604 W. Sixth St., Port Clinton. For reservations, call 419-7345044. Tickets are $15 per person.

Local earns highest rank in scouting Zachary Dane Auxter has obtained the prestigious rank of Eagle Scout from the Boy Scouts of America. He is a member of Troop 360 of Port Clinton, sponsored by Trinity United Methodist Church. Zach has been in scouting since he became a Tiger scout in first grade with Cub Scout Pack 361 of St. John Lutheran Church. He finished Cub Scouting by earning the Arrow of Light. The climb to becoming an Eagle has afforded many learning and leadership opportunities. Having earned 29 merit badges, served as Patrol Leader, Assistant PL, Senior PL, Junior Assistant Scoutmaster and completing an Eagle scout project, Zach has gained many life skills. He is also a member of the Order of the Arrow. The Eagle Scout project Zach chose was to renovate the

youth loft at St. John Lutheran Church. Planning and approval started in spring of 2009. Zach was responsible for design, planning, raising more than $3,800, materials and coordinating more than 300 hours of labor. After a hot summer of painting, electrical work, adding ceiling fans, constructing and installating siding white boards, renovating cabinetry and general cleaning, the project was dedicated Oct. 4. Zach then spent the winter writing a required detailed manuscript of the project to bring before the Board for final review. Zach will be honored at an Eagle Scout Court of Honor Sunday, July 11, at St. John Lutheran Church. This project could not have been accomplished without generous support from friends, family, fellow scouts and leaders, St. John youth group, Pastor Jim Lehman, Pastor Dan Keck, Council President Bob Polachek, members of the congregation, Lowe’s (Fremont), Ace Hardware, the VFW Post 2480, the Elks Lodge No. 1718, Allied Waste, and special mention to the Fraternal Order of Eagles No. 2295, Bruce Bridgeman, Harvey Bachtel, Kyle Auxter and Bill Fehnrich. Zach is a senior at Port Clinton High School. He is a member of National Honor Society, Spanish Club, Key Club, the football and tennis teams and band all while maintaining a 4.0 GPA. He enjoys outdoor activities in all seasons, table tennis and American history. Zach serves as a member of the St. John Brass at his church and currently works at the Catawba Island Club. He is the oldest son of Kim and Angela Auxter.

Sculptor coming to local gallery Crystal sculptor Ed Kish from Corning, N.Y., will be at Ferguson Gallery on Saturday and Sunday, July 10-11. A long-time associate of gallery owner Cary Ferguson, Kish will be sharing the inspiration for his handengraved crystal pendants. The foundation of the jewelry line is “Soul.” “Soul,” is one of several pendants available from the artist. It is available

in several sizes with bail options in 14kt gold, 14kt white gold and sterling silver. Each piece is presented in a double plush velvet bag and is accompanied by a white linen trademark card with translucent explanation card. The copper wheel carving into the back of the highly polished 42 percent lead crystal disc creates a sheen

which causes a significant “light event” as viewed from the front. This light event, similar to a hologram, can be seen as a symbol of one’s soul. Ferguson Gallery is open 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday. For information, contact gallery manager Kim Mazur at 419-734-0600 or info@fergusongallery.com.

Vice-president Mary Oyer, program chairwoman from the Wauseon Women’s Club, reports that the convention will meet at Green Gables, the Lakeside Women’s Club home. Members, wearing hats and gloves, will be greeted by Eleanore Roosevelt, portrayed by Gale Conrad from the American Association of University Women.

he was quick to answer “Old coins and paper currency. For as long as I can remember I have been fascinated with collecting coins. I would go through the change in my parents grocery store looking for rare dates and errors. Once, I found a silver quarter that I sold for $300.00. Not bad for an 8 year old.” Fuller went on to explain that any U.S. coins made before 1964 are most sought after by collectors. Coins made before

Artists-N-Cahoots moves to new home LAKESIDE — Artists-N-Cahoots, the popular Lakeside store established by two Rhein Center artists and Lakesiders, Joyce Christman and Erin Rosson, has a new location to celebrate its fifth year. Artists-N-Cahoots can now be found at 222 Walnut Ave., the space formerly occupied by the Cokesbury Bookstore. Christman and Rosson said they are enjoying the additional space, and that the store is able to accommodate more artwork, including paintings, jewelry, ornaments and stained glass. The new space also makes the store accessible to a greater number of customers, including those who are handicapped or have strollers. “People can linger and can take their time and appreciate the art,” Christman explained. After two weeks of being in their new location, Rosson said the response from customers has been enthusiastic. “People who have been to the old location before are blown away. They can see everything now and they love it,” Rosson said.

Christman and Rosson had previously taught together in Columbus and became reacquainted at Lakeside. Christman describes them as “two teachers who love and promote art and artists.” After spending summers selling their own artwork off their porches, they became inspired to create a venue for artists to sell their artwork. The great response from Lakesiders and the community’s enthusiasm for the Rhein Center encouraged them, and they eventually made a proposal to the Lakeside Association to open the store. “They (the artists) volunteer to teach there and this is the one place where they have the opportunity to sell. But we also need to credit all the Rhein Center artists, guests and residents who support us,” Christman said. Artists-N-Cahoots features Rhein Center artists such as Ruth App, Robert Bruce, Jane Foy, Joan Garverick, Neil Glaser, Myra Leeper, Carol Murray and Juliann Breting Rohn.

Financial moves for non-retiring Boomers

If you’re in one of the early waves of baby boomers, you may know some retirees who are now enjoying a wide variety of activities — possibly even including a new career. And you, too, may now have some choices about how to spend your time. Should you stay at your current job? Should you retire altogether and travel or pursue hobbies? Or should you “retire” and then start a new job, do some consulting or even open your own business? While you may have choices on how to draw an income, you’ll also have some key issues to consider. For starters, think about how your earnings might affect one source of retirement income:

Social Security. As an early wave baby boomer, your “full retirement age,” from a Social Security standpoint, will be around 66. If you are younger than full retirement age during all of 2010, you will lose $1 from your benefits for each $2 you earn above $14,160. But if you reach your full retirement age during 2010, you’ll lose $1 from your benefits for each $3 you earn above $37,680 until the month you reach that age. (Keep in mind that these figures are for 2010 only; for changes in 2011 and succeeding years, you’ll want to check with the Social Security Administration.) Once you reach full retirement age, you can keep all your benefits, no matter how

much you earn. Deciding what to do about Social Security isn’t the only move you need to make if you work during your “normal” retirement years. You’ll also want to contribute as much as possible to your IRA, 401(k) or other employer-sponsored retirement plan. During these years, with your children grown and your mortgage possibly paid, you may have more investable income available — so take advantage of the opportunity. You’ll also need to carefully review your portfolio to help ensure your investment mix is appropriate for your needs. To stay ahead of inflation, you’ll still

need to invest for growth, but since you’re not that far from retirement, you’ll also want to control risk and volatility as much as possible. Furthermore, you’re at the time of life when you may want to consider consolidating your investment and retirement accounts. If you have an IRA here, a 401(k) there and another account someplace else, you have a lot of paperwork to keep track of, both during the year and, especially, at tax time. But even more importantly, with all your accounts scattered, you might not be following one central, unifying investment approach — an approach that could help make it easier for you to pursue

your long-term goals, including a comfortable retirement. By consolidating your accounts with one company, you can save time and possibly reduce administrative fees — while your accounts can work in harmony on your behalf. This may be a good time to consult with a professional financial advisor — someone who can help you make those choices that can help provide you with the freedom to spend this next phase of your life doing as you please. After all, you’ve earned it. nnn

It tells the tale of John Worthing and Algernon Moncrieff, who have taken to “bending the truth” in order to add a dash of excitement to their lives.

It has been nine months since Perry’s Victory and International Peace Memorial closed for restoration yet the number of education programs available to the public has increased. From historic reenactments to interactive lectures, Perry’s Victory offers a variety of artfully crafted programs appropriate for the whole family — all free of charge, said Memorial Superintendent Blanca Alvarez Stransky. Visitors are invited to come and enjoy any number of park ranger presentations throughout the summer. The educational programs, offered daily, provide unique perspectives on the people, events and landscapes surrounding the War of 1812, added Stransky. Children’s programs are offered daily at 11:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. These programs provide children 4 years of age and older with physical and creative outlets. There are several new programs this year including construction tours around the memorial grounds presented daily at 10:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. These programs highlight both the ongoing repairs, and the causes of the deterioration of the Memorial.

On Mondays, Wednesdays and Sundays, visitors can interact with park rangers dressed in period costume at one of the living history camps. Traditional campfire programs are offered at 7 p.m. on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays featuring topics such as Campfire Stories and The Lighter Side of the War of 1812. As part of an effort to provide an environmental prospective, Park Ranger Kathie Holbrook, a professor of biology and aquatics, teaches visitors about the impacts of invasive species and the health of Lake Erie. In partnership with Ohio State University Sea Grant Program (Stone Lab), two Ohio State University undergraduates — Park Ranger Megan Schuster, a student of zoology, and Park Ranger Nick Cooper, a student of environmental science — present natural history programs throughout the week. Nick and Megan work at Perry’s Victory three days a week and attend classes on Gibraltar Island the rest of the time. Despite the closing of the Memorial, Perry’s Victory is teaming with information and inspiration to share. All programs are free of charge.

As the “fastest way to Put-in-Bay and Kelleys Island,” The Jet Express is an easy means of transportation to the Lake Erie Islands. Other than The Jet’s regular boat schedule though, there are excursion adventures offered. On July 9, The Jet will take passengers to Pelee Island where a wine tasting and hog roast will take place. This particular trip is open to all U.S. citizens with a valid U.S. Passport for proof of citizenship. The cost is $85 per person, and the boat will depart at 5 p.m. from Port Clinton or 5:30

E-mail your photos to angie@thebeacon.net

p.m. from Put-in-Bay and will arrive at Pelee Island at 6 p.m. Once there, a tram will take everyone to the Pelee Island Winery. After hors d oeuvres and a wine tasting, there will be a picnic-style dinner with appetizers featuring a pig roast and barbecue chicken legs, veggies and dessert. Water and sweet tea will be provided and soft drinks and wines will be available to purchase. Live entertainment will also be included in the evening, but taking a tour of the vineyard, looking in the winery’s gift and souvenir shop or ex-

ploring the island via taxi service and tour shuttle are also possibilities. The boat will then depart Pelee Island at 10 p.m. Other upcoming excursion adventures include a trip to the Cleveland Indians vs. New York Yankees game July 29, another Pelee Island wine tasting and pig roast Aug. 6 and a Toledo to Put-in-Bay day cruise benefitting the Toledo Animal Shelter Aug. 29. For excursion adventure reservations or any questions about the Jet Express, call 800-245-1538.
