Joseph John MackoFeb. 19, 1928-Dec. 26, 2014

Port Clinton native Joseph (Joe) John Macko died Friday, December 26 at an assisted living in Fort Worth, Texas at the age of 86. Macko, touched thousands of lives during his more than 63 years in profes-sional baseball.

Macko was born, February 19, 1928 in Port Clinton, son of John and Barbara Macko. Macko played ball all around Ottawa County during his high school days and was well known by many and touched the lives of thousands.

A graduate of Port Clinton High School, Macko earned 5 varsity letters; 4 in basketball and 1 in football. He was the first freshman to play on the varsity basketball team and led the team in scoring in 1946.

In 16 minor league seasons, he hit 306 home runs with a career .272 batting average. He hit a career-high 37 hom-ers in 1956, playing for the San Diego Padres and Dallas Eagles in the minors. Macko also pitched for parts of four seasons, compiling an 11-7 record with a 3.70 ERA in 37 appearances, including 15 starts.

He attended Tiffin University in 1947 where he excelled in both baseball and basketball. He signed a professional baseball contract with the Cleveland Indians in 1947 and played for the Indians and the Chicago Cubs for a total of 16 seasons, finishing as the 10th leading home run hitter in the minor leagues with 306 home runs.

While playing for the Indians he met his wife Dorothy in Burlington, Iowa. They married in Dallas in 1952. Macko’s sister, Catherine, and her husband were living in Lub-bock, Texas and traveled to Dallas for the wedding. “Joe and Dorothy were married in the church earlier in the day. Prior to the ball game that evening, they were mar-ried again at home plate,” said Limestahl.

Macko was also a member of the Port Clinton High School Athletic Hall of Fame. He was also elected to the Kansas Baseball Hall of Fame in 1982 and the Texas Baseball Hall of Fame in 1984.

Macko spent the last 29 years of his career as a club-

house manager for the Rangers, first in the Rangers’ club-house from 1973 to 1994 and in the visitors’ clubhouse from 1995 to 2001. After his retirement in 2001, he was the Texas Ranger’s Goodwill Ambassador and made hun-dreds of personal appearances over the next 12 years.

Macko managed four minor league teams while still an active player: the Tulsa Oilers (as interim) in 1955, the St. Cloud Rox in 1961, the Wenatchee Chiefs in 1962 and 1964, and the Amarillo Gold Sox in 1963.

Before his playing days were over Macko was business manager and general manager for the Dallas-Fort Worth Spurs in the Texas League from 1965-71.

Macko is survived by daughter Karen and husband Josh Wells, daughter Linda and husband Chris Eadler, and son Mike and wife Brooke. He had two grandchildren, Jay and Lindsey Eadler.

Ottawa, Sandusky and Seneca County art students in seventh grade through twelfth grade were given the opportunity to participate in the OSS Solid Waste Dis-trict’s Calendar Design Contest. Students were encouraged to create a design with a recycling or litter prevention theme to be included in a 2015 Calendar created by the District.

“The calendar contest is a great way for the District’s recycling goals to reach middle and high school students. These talented students then express those goals through their own artwork to further the environmental message,” said Amy Drum-mer, the district’s Assistant Director, “We enjoy working with the art councils, who judge the contest, making this a good community project as well.”

Entries received were judged by the Greater Port Clinton Area Arts Council. Twelve designs were selected to be dis-played in the calendar.

GENOAWinning designs at the Middle School

level were submitted by Jessica Cable, Art Teacher at Genoa Middle School and in-clude the following students: First place Isabel Cuevas and second place Veyda Sievert.

PORT CLINTONWinning designs at the Middle School

level were also submitted by Mrs. Arthur,

Art Teacher at Port Clinton Middle School and include the following students: First place Alexis Bradshaw and second place Zoe Zgodzinski.

All of the winners received a dorm size recycling bin made from recycled plastic filled with a variety of art supplies and a framed picture of their original artwork.

The finished 2015 calendars were dis-tributed to all of the schools and county offices in each of the three counties. The District would like to congratulate all of the winners and thank all students who participated in the contest.

For general recycling information, Dis-trict recycling collections or sponsored events log onto the OSS Solid Waste Dis-trict’s website at www.recycleoss.org. Get connected with the District by joining us on Facebook and searching: Ottawa San-dusky Seneca Green Recycling Scene and hitting the like button on our page. Fol-low us on Twitter by searching: OSS Solid Waste @Aim2BGreen.

The Ottawa, Sandusky, Seneca Joint Solid Waste Management District was formed in March 1989 under HB 592 which required counties to form single or multi-county solid waste districts. The District has developed a solid waste plan which insures disposal capacity for the next 15 years. The District also sponsors waste reduction, recycling, and reuse pro-grams designed to increase recycling to meet state waste reduction goals.

The Ohio Lake Erie Commission (OLEC) awarded two quarterly grants through Ohio’s Lake Erie Protection Fund at its December meeting in Columbus.

The fund was established to help finance research and projects aimed at protecting, preserving and restoring Lake Erie and its watershed. The fund is supported by Ohioans through tax-deductible donation or purchase of a Lake Erie license plate displaying the Marblehead Lighthouse or the Lake Erie life preserver.

GRANTS WERE AWARDED TO:

• John Carroll University – $15,000 to develop and test a water quality metric for algal phytoplankton in the Lake Erie nearshore area. The met-

ric will be used to score the health of algal phytoplankton communities and the impacts of phosphorus. Re-searchers will use a numeric scale based on sensitivity values of organ-isms at each sampling site. The metric will serve as a tool for assessment of water quality along Lake Erie’s near-shore.

• The Ohio State University – $14,956 to compare composition, size and seasonal variation of fish species at three different water conveyance structures in Lake Erie coastal wet-lands. The project will assess which structures provide the most efficient and cost-effective fish passages for wetland restoration purposes. Re-sults will help inform management

decisions related to maintenance of coastal wetlands for both water levels and fish access.

All donations and proceeds from the sale of Lake Erie license plates are used to fund grants to benefit Ohio’s Great Lake. Citizens may make a tax-deductible do-nation directly to the Lake Erie Protection Fund by sending a check to the commis-sion office at 111 E. Shoreline Drive, San-dusky, OH 44870.

OLEC was established to preserve Lake Erie’s natural resources, protect the

quality of its waters and ecosystem and promote economic development in the region. The director of the Ohio Environ-mental Protection Agency serves as the commission’s chairman. Additional mem-bers include the directors of the state de-partments of Transportation, Health, De-velopment Services, Agriculture, Natural Resources and five additional members appointed by Governor John Kasich.

The Ottawa, Sandusky, Seneca Joint Solid Waste District will offer grants in the first round of the Competitive Fund-ing Grant Program in 2015. The second round grant meeting will be held Wednes-day, January 7, at 10 a.m. at the OSS Sol-id Waste District office at 1875 E. State Street, Fremont. Eligible participants are required to attend a meeting prior to sub-mitting an application.

The grant program’s main priority is to set up recycling programs for educational institutions, non-profit organizations, townships, cities and villages in Ottawa, Sandusky and Seneca Counties. Once a recycling program has been established,

an agency can apply for funds for prod-ucts made from 25% recycled content. The District cannot fund any privately owned businesses.

Applicants are required to attend the in-formational meeting at the District office in Fremont for this funding round. If a representative does not attend the meet-ing the entity cannot apply for a grant. Applicants may register by calling the Dis-trict office at 419-334-7222, 888-850-7224 or email Assistant Director, Amy Drum-mer at [email protected]. The applica-tion and guidelines are available on the District’s website: recycleoss.org.

The official song of the village of Put-in-Bay, Friends of the Bay, has a brand new music video on YouTube and bobgatewood.com. The song has been freshly re-recorded by Bob Gatewood and produced by Country Music Award winning guitarist Tom Bukovac. The ac-companying video was recorded by Nick James Pro-ductions this past Labor Day in downtown Put-in-Bay and features hundreds of weekend revelers.

Gatewood wrote Friends of the Bay some 20 years ago and since then it’s heartfelt lyrics have become a popular sing-a-long at parties and celebrations on and off the island. Hence, the Put-in-Bay village council designated it as the island’s official song. The new re-cording of Friends of the Bay will also be available for download at bobgatewood.com after the release.

BY ROBERT HRUSKAMARBLEHEAD ZONING ADMINISTRATOR

Happy New Year everybody! I hope you had a great Christmas.

Instead of talking about zoning stuff today, there is a much more exciting thing to discuss. The Village of Mar-blehead is currently working with The Western Reserve Land Conservancy to help us acquire the Lifeboat Station property and turn it into a public lakefront park for the Village. That is the development over near the cemetery, owned by Blue Isle intended to be used for a single-fam-ily subdivision. The Village owns no lakefront property right now and this would be the perfect place for a park. As a park, it would provide public access to the lake. It is about 2 acres that we could use for a nice place to relax with a view of the lake. Sometimes we do not stop and think how nice it is to drive by that area and see the lake. That is, until it is gone! This parcel is the only open space still available on the water in Marblehead.

A park on the lake in this location could be a destina-tion spot for other visitors to the area, which is also close to the downtown business district. This would attract visitors from the Lighthouse, travelers going to the Ferry, bicyclers and others, to spend a little more time with our local businesses. Instead of just passing through to an-other destination, they could make the Lifeboat Park the destination.

Even without being a destination, preserving this small piece of lakefront for residents is a worthwhile endeav-or. It would create public access for fishing, hiking, bird watching and other recreation. We could put ramp ac-cess for non-motorized boats such as Kayaks or shallow draft motorized craft like motorboats and jet skis. The Village already owns the land across the street from this property that could be used for permanent style rest-rooms and temporary parking for park visitors.

We have had a completely positive response from our community so far. If you need any more information on the proposed Lifeboat Station Park, you can call, email or stop in to the Village office, which is located above the Police Station. The Zoning and Planning Office is open every weekday from 8:00am to 1:00pm. (419) 798-4074 or [email protected] except holidays.

If you would like to make a tax-deductible contribution for the proposed Lifeboat Station Park, please send it directly to Western Reserve Land Conservancy, 3850 Chagrin River Road, More-land Hills, OH 44022-1131. Put Lifeboat Park in the memo.

BEST OFTHE BEST!

BY YANEEK SMITH

After rallying from a 15-point deficit to tie the score late in the fourth quarter, the Oak Harbor Rockets watched as St. Mary Central Catholic finished the game with a flurry as the Panthers won, 70-62, in non-conference action.

With the score tied at 60, SMCC’s Trent Zimmerson, who led all scorers with 27 points, hit Trevor Fitzthum on a long outlet pass that Fitzthum converted into a layup, accounting for the winning basket with1:36 to play. From there, the Panthers (7-1) would score eight more points from the free-throw line to close out the game.

Zimmerman scored 11 of his 27 points in the fourth quarter, and teammate Melvin Jackson finished with 19.

Playing without leading scorer DeShawn Johnson hurt

the Rockets (1-5), who were outscored, 20-8, in the first quarter. Oak Harbor then slowly chipped away, cutting the deficit to 32-25 at halftime.

The third quarter saw the Rockets battle back from a double-digit deficit twice before finishing the quarter on a 7-4 run to cut the deficit to 50-43. They did it again in the fourth quarter when, down 60-52, Oak Harbor went on an 8-0 run and tied it on a steal and a layup by Isiah Jefferson.

Tyler Sievert led Oak Harbor with 19 points, Paul Shay scored 16, including four 3-pointers, and Jefferson chipped in with 14.

Oak Harbor Girls BasketballPerkins 41, Oak Harbor 39Despite trailing for most of the second half, Perkins

played well when it counted most, rallying to defeat Oak Harbor, 41-39, in Sandusky Bay Conference action.

After falling behind 27-18 with 2:11 remaining in the third quarter, the Pirates went on a 16-5 lead to take the lead for good at 34-32 on two free throws by Haylee Darr.

Perkins pushed the lead to 38-32 before the Rockets rallied, cutting the deficit to 41-39 before Emma Barney misfired on a three-pointer at the buzzer.

Darr led the Pirates with 13 points, Emily Wagner chipped in with 12 and Hailee Smith finished with 11.

Oak Harbor’s Andrea Cecil led all scorers with 15 points and Emma Bergman chipped in with 12.

Rockets put up a fight in loss to St. Mary CC

BY YANEEK SMITH

Danbury held off a late rally to defeat St. Joseph Central Catholic, 61-55, and pick up its first win of the season at the Seneca East Shootout.

Behind Hunter Stinchcomb’s 20 points, the Lakers built a 56-47 lead with just under two minutes remaining be-fore the Crimson Streaks mounted a rally.

SJCC went on an 8-0 run, cutting the deficit to one be-fore Lucas Michael missed a shot that would’ve given the Streaks the lead. Instead, Danbury (1-5) closed the game out on a 5-0 run, a spurt that was started by Caleb Ger-ber’s two free throws. After Michael missed on a three-pointer, the Lakers rebounded the ball and closed it out

by scoring three more points at the charity stripe.In a back-and-forth first half, Danbury led 10-8 after the

first quarter and 26-22 at halftime. The Lakers outscored SJCC, 16-15, in the third quarter to take a 42-37 advantage into the final quarter.

The difference in the game was Stinchcomb’s ability to score inside. His 20 points were six more than the next highest scorer, Ryan Chapman. John Rhodes chipped in with seven points and Gerber had six.

The Streaks were led by Michael, who scored 14 points, and Jake Yeckley chipped in with 13.

With the score tied at 32 midway thru the third quarter, Danbury took the lead for good after going on an 8-2 to run to push the advantage to 40-34.

Danbury Girls BasketballDanbury 46, Maumee Valley 17The Lakers dominated in their win over Maumee Valley

Country, holding the Panthers to just four points in the

first half of their 46-17 victory.In addition to its stout defense, Danbury had a balanced

scoring attack that saw Stephanie Kukay, Lexi Mitchell and Alyx Perram finish with eight points apiece.

The win puts the Lakers at 3-3 overall and 3-1 in the Toledo Area Athletic Conference.

Northwood 53, Danbury 41The Lakers lost their first conference game of the sea-

son, falling, 53-41, to Northwood in Toledo Area Athletic Conference action.

The difference in the game was the Rangers’ perfor-mance in the second quarter, which saw them outscore Danbury, 15-6.

Allison Roach had a game-high 19 points for North-wood, which employed a stall-ball strategy for parts of the game.

The Lakers, playing without Megan Stephens, got 15 points from Stephanie Kukay and 14 from Alyx Perram.

Danbury boys get first win of the season

REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS

To start the Christmas season off right, Edgewood held its annual Tree Lighting Ceremony in December. Staff, residents and family gathered to hang ornaments on the living room tree while listening to music by Mark Wilkins. The entertainer sang a variety of oldies while the audi-ence enjoyed cookies and punch. Then once the tree was fully adorned and the

living room was dimmed, the tree lights were turned on. As the attendees clapped with delight, everyone joined together to sing such holiday favorites as Silent Night and White Christmas. It was a beautiful and memorable evening filled with smiles, singing and tradition as loved ones gath-ered together to celebrate.

Mr. Earl Dunfee and his daughter Cheryl Weiber hang an ornament on the tree at Edgewood Manor.

Tree Lighting Ceremony at Edgewood

The World Wide Shop received nearly 300 entries for a gift basket in the shop’s annual Christmas drawing. The gift bas-ket, that had a $275 value, was awarded to Stephie Richards of Catawba Island.

All of the items, from book ends, dried fruit and spices to a wine holder, candle and a wooden game, are all made by ar-tisans in poverty areas around the world.
