Jefferson Elementary Principal Hired

Mike Jenkins was hired as the Jefferson Elementary Principal at the June 22 Port Clinton Board of Education meeting. He comes to Port Clinton from the Parma City School District where he has been a principal since August 2007. He replaces Gary Steyer who accepted the High School Assistant Principal position. The Jefferson Elementary staff had a role in the interview process, along with administration and board members, to help select their new principal. Jenkins earned his Bachelor of Arts degree from State University of New York in Buffalo and his Masters in Curriculum Instruction, Elementary Education from the University of Houston. When contacted last week, he stated, “My family and I would like to thank the Port Clinton City School District for this wonderful opportunity, as I look forward to serving the community as the Principal of Jefferson Elementary School. Throughout my years of experience as an educator, I’ve learned that nothing is more important than a child-centered approach teaching, thus ensuring that each and every student is successful. I feel that the elementary years are crucial for building a strong foundation not only for academic success, but for character as well.” He added, “In recognition of the hard work of parents, teachers, district staff and the community, I am honored to be a member of the team. As the new school year approaches, I look forward to meeting new faces and getting Jefferson Elementary School off on a good start.” Prior to being a principal Jenkins was an elementary teacher for grade 5 at Cleveland Heights – University Heights School District, Grade 7 Talented and Gifted Instructor at Lakewood Schools and grade 5 Instructor for Houston Independent School District. He also served as a Curriculum Developer to create and edit online coursework for Complient Corporation.

The new Yoga on the Beach at Gem Beach is apparently catching on. Three days a week at 8:30 a.m. (Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays), Donna Lueke is conducting Yoga sessions on the beach at Gem Beach on Catawba. Each session is $5 with a portion of the proceeds going to United Way in Ottawa County.

United Way Investments Focus on Financial Stability United Way in Ottawa County has announced it is investing more than $350,000 in local programs after a successful 2008 campaign in which the organization surpassed its campaign goal. During the 2009/10 funding year which runs July 1, 2009 through June 30, 2010, 11 local programs will receive support. This is the first year of investments in United Way’s new Agenda for Change that was unveiled

last fall. The Agenda focuses on education, income and health, with a foundation of community outreach and essential services. While money will be invested in every part of the Agenda, the current economic times have called for a special focus on income and financial stability. Brenda Smith, co-chair of the United Way in Ottawa County Community Solutions Team that makes funding recommendations, continued on page 2A...

Dear Editor, At a news conference on Friday, June 19, Gov. Strickland outlined his â&#x20AC;&#x153;frameworkâ&#x20AC;? to fill the gap in the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budget that must be balanced by Ohio General Assemblyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Conference Committee by June 30. Unfortunately, his proposal includes an unprecedented 30% cut in the Public Library Fund - in addition to the 20% reduction in library funding already experienced since January 2009. Libraries have been slashing their budgets for months to find ways to maintain library services with a 20% reduction in state dollars. The additional 30% reductions proposed by Gov. Strickland will force some libraries to close completely, close branches and drastically cut hours and services â&#x20AC;&#x201C; beginning July 1. Ohioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s public libraries, which are recognized as the best in the nation, cannot survive a 50% reduction in funding. Ottawa Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s three public library systems include the Ida Rupp Public Library, the Oak Harbor Public Library and the Harris-Elmore Public Library, and all three libraries depend exclusively on state funding as none has an operating levy. The Governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposed funding cuts come at a time when Ohioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s public libraries are experiencing unprecedented increases in demand for services. In every community throughout the state, Ohioans are turning to their public libraries for free, high speed Internet to access information on employment opportunities, children and teens are beginning summer reading programs, and people of all ages are turning to the library for information and education. I encourage patrons to call the Governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office (614466-3555) to express their opposition to this proposed 50% cut in library funding, and to urge Senator Mark Wagoner (SD02@senate.state.oh.us) and Representative Dennis Murray (district80@ohr.state.oh.us) to reject the

Governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plan. James Crawford, Director Ida Rupp Public Library, Port Clinton Dear Editor, Hundreds of profitable car dealers with thousands of employees are being forced out of business? How will this create jobs? The independent dealers have done a lot to support their respective communities. Where will this support come from now? Bill Beck Port Clinton Dear Editor, I would be the first to say that bicycle week in northwest Ohio is a positive. Thousands of riders can be seen enjoying the environment and contributing to the retail trade. Yet, these riders seem to have their own rules of travel. This morning in a ten minute span of time I observed the following: riders two and three abreast on a two lane highway, a rider stayed in the right lane in front of the beach park through two lights talking to fellow riders and causing traffic to switch lanes, seven riders used the cross walk five seconds after the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Walkâ&#x20AC;? was displayed and while the light for traffic turned green, a rider rode through a stop sign causing me to jam on the brakes, and ten bikers rode through four consecutive stop signs on our side streets. Lawful riding and courtesy do not seem to apply to many of our bicycle riders. We car drivers would be ticketed for many of their indiscretions. I ask only that they lawfully drive, use logic and be courteous. There is no reason riders and drivers should not co-exist safely. Kenneth Krogulecki Port Clinton

United Way Investments Focus on Financial Stability Continued from page 1A... explained how crucial the income piece has become. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Through our case management work at the Sutton Center and our work with the Save Our Homes task force, it has become increasingly clear it is absolutely critical to address financial stability,â&#x20AC;? Smith said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As a result, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see a new collaborative program with WSOS on this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s list.â&#x20AC;? The program Smith is referring to is a financial stability program that crosses county lines to offer an added financial counseling piece in Ottawa and Wood counties. The counseling will focus on available public resources, but also how people can utilize their personal resources and networks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a fantastic new program to bring to Ottawa County residents,â&#x20AC;? said Chris Galvin, Director of United Way in Ottawa County. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We identified a need to help individuals and families move to financial security, so thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every penny raised in Ottawa County stays in Ottawa County, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re so grateful to our community that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re able to invest this kind of money in local programs,â&#x20AC;? Galvin continued. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hope people will remember to be as generous during the 2009 campaign in a year where weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll most likely need it even more.â&#x20AC;?

Murray Announces Funds for Community Mental Health Facilities State Representative Dennis Murray has announced the release of $250,000 for the Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s share in Project MH-859, State Assistance for Community Mental Health Facilities in Erie and Ottawa counties. Project MH-859 involves the purchase and renovation of a 10 unit motel into eleven one-bedroom apartments to provide independent housing for persons with

severe and persistent mental illness. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Putting recovery into action means building the resilience of people with mental health problems, not just on managing their symptoms,â&#x20AC;? Rep. Murray said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Treatment most certainly helps, and people do recover. Allowing these individuals to live independently is an important part of both treatment and recovery.â&#x20AC;?

BY VIRGINIA PARK

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m writing on my lunch break on Thursday, June 25, and it is another wonderful dayâ&#x20AC;ŚMore storms are predicted for later â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing in the sky to indicate inclement weather now. As I just drove around town doing some errands many people were out walking, gardening or just seemingly enjoying the outdoors. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no better weather anywhere than a fragrant, breezy, green late spring day in the Lake Erie Vacationland. There are oodles of summer activities scheduled in our area. In Elmore there will be a huge bicycling event before you read this paper on June 21 and 22. The Elmore Historical Society is planning food service and it appears that the entire village is getting involved. Then the Portage River Festival is on the weekend of June 27 and 28, again in the village of Elmore, and I want to help at the Elmore Depot with that, too. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not sure how many years Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done that now, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fun. And itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good place to see local people helping out with the fundraising for the Society and many other organizations and churches. I believe there is an all-village garage sale scheduled for that weekend, too. Another fun thing to see â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the brig Niagara is slated to be at Put-In-Bay June 26 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 29. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not sure of the times but the Put-In-Bay Chamber of Commerce or the county visitors bureau could provide that information. Here is a personal favorite and I gladly recommend it as an interesting and worthwhile thing to do. The ladies (with some fellows helping) at First United Church of Christ at the corner of James and Prairie Streets, Marblehead, will host their annual Rummage Sale this Friday and Saturday, June 26 and 27. Most of the sales items are in the church basement (thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an elevator) but some of the bigger items (appliances, for example) are in the sanctuary level. Times each day are 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more, also, as the ladies sell sandwiches, beverages and have a bake sale. This year there will even be some elderberry pies --- and those are hard to find. The church members have been working on this sale

since Christmas and have more wares to sell than ever before. Proceeds are used to keep the church in good shape but also go for Mission Work and other projects of the world-wide church. If you wait to go until afternoon on Saturday, you can buy anything thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s left for $1 a bag. So if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re furnishing a cottage or just wanting to find a bargain, this is the weekend, and the place to do it. Barb Bouska at 419-734-9417 can answer any questions about the event. Sunscreen (liberal applications of it) is recommended for anyone who will be spending time with skin exposed to the sun. Studies have shown that there is a link between sunburns and an increased risk of melanoma (skin cancer). Modern sunscreens are effective in protecting people from the sunâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rays. (This information is from an article in â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Well Workplaceâ&#x20AC;? health newsletter. Some tips from the article and elsewhere: Use a lot of sunscreen (about an ounce) and apply to all exposed areas. Rub it in â&#x20AC;&#x153;completelyâ&#x20AC;?. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget scalp, neck and even your ears. Re-apply after two hours or after swimming or perspiring. If your supply of sunscreen is old (more than three years) replace it. It may no longer be effective. If your lips are sensitive, use lip balm with at least 15 SPF (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sun Protective Factorâ&#x20AC;?). So far Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve not seen too many May Flies, also know as June Bugs. This newspaper wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be out for a week so perhaps by the time you read this, more of the little â&#x20AC;&#x153;crittersâ&#x20AC;? will be around. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been out to Lakeside a couple of times in the last two weeks. It was really busy out there as first the West Ohio, then the East Ohio, Conferences of the United Methodist Church were in session. Both times I visited people staying there as part of their vacation. It was a fun place to be and there was lots going on. My vegetable garden is planted and most of the flowers (annuals) are in the ground. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m hoping for some time this weekend to get things completed. One of the prettiest lawns Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen this year is at the home of Sue and Horst Herzog where evergreen and deciduous landscaping elements combine with both annual and perennial flowers to make a nice display. There is even a â&#x20AC;&#x153;miniatureâ&#x20AC;? garden â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with some small plants â&#x20AC;&#x201C; an unusual addition and very attractive when surrounded by the larger plants. And now, writing early on Thursday evening, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m in the Fountain Inn at Lakeside and waiting for a workshop to begin. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m the first one here so I had a sandwich supper at Abigailâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tea Room (which is much different this year) and decided Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d continue writing and really beat the Monday night/

Marblehead Lighthouse Historical Society will host a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nature and Nauticalâ&#x20AC;? sale on July 11 from 10:00 a.m. to 3 p.m. This will be an outdoor sale near the museum in the Lighthouse State Park at the tip of the peninsula. Then on August 8 the Society will host a chicken barbecue dinner from 11-3. The public is invited and proceeds will go to the building fund for the Lifesaving Station/ Education Center. Both the present museum and the Lighthouse are open to visitors daily, on Monday â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Friday from 1-5, Sunday 5-7 p.m. and on the second Saturday of the months July â&#x20AC;&#x201C; October from 10 a.m. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 3 p.m. If you need more information call Mary Hartman at 419-798-4877. Writing very early in the morning on Tuesday, June 23, 2009â&#x20AC;Ś I drove home late last night from Elmore and the â&#x20AC;&#x153;long dayâ&#x20AC;? evening skies were beautiful. It was nearly ten oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;clock and the skies in the west still had light as I drove along. Right now, as we are in the season of the longest days of the year, I love the extended evenings, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t you? They are great.

Tuesday morning deadline. The women members of the Put-In-Bay Yacht Club Auxiliary celebrated 60 years as an organization this past week with a luncheon topped off with a huge birthday cake. This was served by past commodores of the Yacht Club. These fellows also sang some impromptu old tunes as entertainment for the ladies. Rose Kahler (of Tiffin), a summer resident of the island, invited ten guests from her school days at Elmore to join her for the birthday event. Most of her guests then stayed the night at her East Point Cottage to catch up on news and also went out to dinner together to cap off the fun day. The robins who built the nest in the boxwood bush in back of my house are now a family. I have seen at least three babies who have hatched and who sometimes stretch their scrawny necks out waiting for food from the parents. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a neat thing to watch but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be glad when they have fledged so that I can get rid of the nest. These birds are a little too close to the back deck. Of special interest to local residents is that Beau Hamann of Third Street, Port Clinton, will play the lead in â&#x20AC;&#x153;Grease.â&#x20AC;? Beau is a music major and will play Danny Zuko in this everpopular musical production that was a Broadway hit and a smash motion picture starring John Travolta in 1978. This will be a presentation of Terra Community College. Call toll free 1-877626-1950 for box office information for this or any other show.

Schools St. Boniface Displays Artistic Works Where could you find the Battle of Iwo Jima, a solar system of t-shirts and a tenfoot high mobile of stars and streamers all in one gymnasium? All were represented at the St Boniface School Art and

Learning Fair. Displayed for parents, parishioners and other art lovers were many of the art and special classroom projects the students completed this school year under the guidance of art teachers Marilyn

Alyward and Patti Greenhill. The artwork ranged from crayon self-portraits done by the kindergarten and first graders to vibrant still life paintings created by each class. Every student in the school contributed to

the colorful mobile entitled “We Are All Stars” that streamed from a basketball hoop to the gym floor. Also displayed were the prize winning safety posters students entered in the 2009 AAA Northwest Ohio Traffic Safety Poster contest. Competing with students from over eighty schools Samantha Greenhill, Allison Kuhn, Noah Spieldenner and Bob Rosiak all won cash prizes for their creations. Science and History class work was also represented, including a working volcano and a demonstration of how to grow crystals in your own kitchen. The Extended Studies students presented dioramas of historical events, such as the first day of the Battle of Iwo Jima and models of frontier sod houses. At the close of the Art and Learning Fair a selection of projects were collected to be enjoyed again while on display this summer at the Ottawa County Fair.

St. Boniface Catholic School serves students in grades K-5 of all religions, racial, ethnic and income backgrounds. For information on the curriculum,

admissions policies and registration contact the school office at (419) 89891340 or visit the website at www.ourstb.com.

Dear Walker Funeral Home...

Jim Ridener

Friends at Otterbein who enjoy a friendly card game are: from left, Ed Kolarek, Myrtle Lutterbein, Pearle Cunningham and Dr. Craig Johnson.

Edgewood Manor stimulated its residents with a variety of musical genres to touch the soul and delight the memory. The Port Clinton High School chamber ensemble, Touch of Class, graced the facility living room with exquisite harmony as their director, Greg Fox, accompanied on the piano. Dressed in their elegant formal attire, the ensemble captivated the audience with the maturity and beauty of their voices. Keyboard

Cleats, a local honky tonk piano player, performed an assortment of lively songs that had the residents jumping. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He can play anything,â&#x20AC;? commented resident Doris Rounds with a huge smile. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great!â&#x20AC;? Then a Broadway musical review rounded out the mixture with such favorites as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hello Dollyâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Sound of Musicâ&#x20AC;?. Resident Fern Baumgartner said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;This whole week brought back so many memories. I just love music.â&#x20AC;?

Restaurant and Historic Winery We would like to thank all of our men and women who have served our country in our time of need. We must never forget who gets the credit for the freedoms we have for which we should be eternally grateful. We are praying for their speedy return home, along with their safety while abroad. We appreciate your sacrifices and would like to honor you this Independence Day. I watched the flag pass by one day, It fluttered in the breeze; A young Marine saluated it, And then he stood at ease. I thought... how many men like him Had fallen throught the years? How many died on foreign soil? How many mothers' tears? How many pilots' planes shot down How many died at sea How many foxholes were soldiers' graves No, Freedom is not Free. I wondered just how many times That Taps had meant "Amen" When a flag had draped a coffin Of a brother or a friend I thought of all the children, Of the mothers and the wives, Of fathers, sons and husbands With interrupted lives. Author Unknown

It is with great appreciation that the Mon Ami staff supports our troops! May you always know you are in our prayers and thoughts.

Business Port Clinton Restaurant Opens for Business There’s a new restaurant for all of us to visit. Crosswinds Restaurant and Bar opened for business on June 4 and offers a full service dine-in menu as well as a full bar and carryout and delivery of Cameo Pizza items. Specialties of the house for the hungry customer include the Crosswinds’ Original Perch Salad, Lake Erie Perch and Walleye Sandwiches and charbroiled Angus burgers. Cameo Pizza, which has been in Port Clinton for several years, will operate carryout and delivery from Crosswinds’ facility. While Cameo Pizza is also a staple dine-in menu item at Crosswinds Restaurant, it is only a small part of the traditional American menu that is offered. Crosswinds Restaurant and Bar is an entirely new business, but has joined with Cameo Pizza and its neighbor Island Adventures

Family Fun Center to complete a family friendly destination. The 149 seat dining facility also features a 16 seat granite bar and there are eight large televisions throughout the restaurant.

Crosswinds has been in the works for over two years. Primary operators of the restaurant, William Moore, Jr., Eric Schramm and Theresa Schramm, have added approximately 55 new jobs to the area. All three are residents of Catawba Island, attended Port Clinton City Schools and been in food service before. “Cameo Pizza was growing very quickly and needed to expand. Expanding in conjunction with the development of Crosswinds gave us the opportunity to operate from a state of the art, energy efficient and highly visible facility while at the same time significantly expand the menu,” said Moore. Cameo Pizza now has its own pickup room on the airport side of the building. The restaurant, 280 SE Catawba Road (Rt. 53), is intended to meet the needs of those who want to watch a sporting event or spend a relaxing night out with their family. “We are very fortunate to have the opportunity to employ such a

skilled and affable staff. It has been rewarding to see so many fine individuals come together as a team and strive towards a common goal,” said Moore. “We are confident that our facility, products, services and staff will exceed our clients’ expectations. “Our kitchen staff is very excited to grow into the new facility. We will be offering new selections and specials regularly and look forward to remaining distinctively unique in the products we offer,” said Theresa. Because of the restaurant’s location next to the Erie-Ottawa Regional Airport, Crosswinds has been decorated with a subtle nautical and aeronautical theme. Deeply colored wood throughout, delicate indirect lighting, metallic bar ceiling, distinctive floors and an open yet private feel ornament the facility throughout. The view from one side is runway 9-27, so guests have the opportunity to watch aircraft fly in and out. The view from the other side showcases the fountains and landscaping of Island Adventures’ miniature golf course where guests can go play before or after a meal. What is the best part of owning the business? “It’s the opportunity to provide visitors and residents a high quality, reasonably priced menu in a family friendly atmosphere,” said Moore. “In addition to the encouraging response from our out of town visitors, we have been humbled by the staggering representation of our local neighbors and the positive feedback which they have presented us,” Eric said. Hours are: Monday-Wednesday 5-10 p.m. and ThursdaySunday 11 a.m.- 10 p.m. The website: www.crosswinds-restaurant.com

Financial Focus Choose Mutual Funds Carefully to Help Diversify Portfolio If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re somewhat familiar with investing, you probably have heard that owning mutual funds is a good way to help diversify your portfolio. Is this true? And, if so, how should you go about selecting the right mutual funds? GARY COON, To begin with, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quickly review the EDWARD JONES importance of diversification. By ownINVESTMENTS ing a variety of investmentsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; such as stocks, bonds and government securities â&#x20AC;&#x201D; you can help reduce the effects of volatility on your portfolio. And while diversification by itself cannot guarantee profits nor protect against a loss, a diversified portfolio can help you reduce the impact of market downturns that may hit one asset class particularly hard. Because an individual mutual fund invests in many different securities, it automatically brings a certain degree of diversification to your portfolio. And yet, you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just purchase any combination of mutual funds and expect good results. Consider this: There are more than 8,000 mutual funds in the financial marketplace, according to the Investment Company Institute, the trade group for the mutual fund industry. About 60 percent of these funds are stock funds, with the rest being â&#x20AC;&#x153;hybridâ&#x20AC;? or â&#x20AC;&#x153;balancedâ&#x20AC;? funds (which invest in a mix of stocks and bonds), taxable bond funds, municipal bond funds, and money market funds. With such a large number of funds available, and with a finite amount of stocks, bonds and other securities in which these funds can invest, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy to see that there is going to be considerable duplication among many of these mutual funds â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and duplication is the opposite of diversification. Consequently, when you invest in mutual funds, you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just adopt a philosophy that can be boiled down to â&#x20AC;&#x153;the more, the merrier.â&#x20AC;? Furthermore, it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just a matter of one â&#x20AC;&#x153;large-cap growthâ&#x20AC;? fund looking like another. You might find that the large-cap fund (a fund that invests in stocks of large companies) is also quite similar to a â&#x20AC;&#x153;technologyâ&#x20AC;? fund. So, whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the solution to avoiding â&#x20AC;&#x153;overlappingâ&#x20AC;? funds? Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no magic formula â&#x20AC;&#x201D; you have to do your homework. Before purchasing a new fund, look closely at its holdings, which will be posted on the fundâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s prospectus. (Also, while youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking at the prospectus, make sure you understand the fundâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s investment objective, risk, charges and expenses.) Then compare these holdings to the ones listed on your existing mutual funds â&#x20AC;&#x201D; if you see too many redundancies, you may want to take a pass on this particular fund. Ultimately, your first step in diversifying a mutual fund portfolio is to identify your individual risk tolerance and investment objectives. Are you a conservative, moderate or aggressive investor? Do you need growth, income or a combi-

nation of both? Once youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve answered these questions, you can then begin selecting the right mix of mutual funds to help you achieve your financial goals. Of course, with all the variables involved, both in your personal situation and in the funds themselves, you may want to enlist the help of a professional financial advisor â&#x20AC;&#x201D; someone

with the experience to help you choose those funds that are right for you. Many people have successfully incorporated mutual funds into their investment strategy â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and with the proper effort and assistance, you can too. Mutual funds are offered and sold by prospectus. You should consider the investment objective, risks, and

charges and expenses carefully before investing. The prospectus contains this and other information. Your Edward Jones financial advisor can provide a prospectus, which should be read carefully before investing. This article was provided by Edward Jones.

Moore worked with a dedicated committee of alumni, community members, and coaches called Redskin Rebuild to make the dream of a new weight room a reality for Port Clinton athletes. The new facility will open on June 29th for all Port Clinton High School and Middle School student athletes during the following scheduled times: June 29 through July 17: Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 6:30 a.m.; 10 a.m.; 6 p.m. or Tuesday and Thursday at 10 a.m. to Noon and July 20 -31: Monday through Thursday from 10 a.m. to Noon. The following local businesses have made substantial contributions of donated labor or materials for the completion of the weight room (alumni and financial donors will be recognized during pre-game of the Varsity Football game on September 25, 2009): A.T.
