It was symbolic, but impressive none the less. On Thursday, August 30, the commander of the Brig Niagara, a direct descendent of Oliver Hazard Perry, was lowered onto a longboat with the “Don’t Give Up The Ship” flag draped over his shoulders (as has been depicted by historians) and was rowed by several Niagara crew members to board the USS DeWert, an Oliver Hazard Perry Class frigate docked in Cleveland Harbor.
It was an historic transfer of command from the direct descendants of the commander of the US Navy Fleet in the September 1813 Battle of Lake Erie to the commander of a modern US Navy ship. This event was the official opening of a number of ceremonies and activities that will commemorate the bi-centennial of the Battle of Lake Erie on September 10, 1813 that took place about 10 miles north of Port Clinton.
Port Clinton is the host for the September training of the Main Street Revitalization Series with Heritage Ohio. The topic of the Wednesday, September 19, workshop is Community Branding and Marketing.

Marsico graduated from the University of Toledo with his Bachelor of Science in Pharmacy, graduating cum laude.

In addition to his current role, Marsico will now oversee the operations of respiratory therapy, pulmonary rehabilitation and sleep medicine.

Melanie Anslow has joined the nursing staff of the Ottawa County Health Department.
Anslow, a Catawba Island resident, has been in the nursing profession 38 years.
She works in the home health care division on a part-time basis, visiting patients in the privacy of their homes. She began her employment there in mid-April.
“What’s not to like,” she said about the profession. “In my mind, I have always been a nurse for as long as I can remember.”
“Home health care is a great opportunity to see your patients in their own setting. You get to know their kids, their family.” Anslow said.
Anslow came on board with a wealth of experience, said Diane Kokinda, the department’s director of nursing.
Her hiring brings the nursing staff to four full-time employees and four part-time employees, Kokinda added.
Anslow has a husband and three adult children, a son and daughter who live locally and a daughter who lives in Columbus.
