Ottawa County Republican Party Chairman Jill Stinebaugh, left, finally managed to host the GOP’s annual Lincoln Day Dinner recently at the Catawba Island Club. The traditional party was postponed twice because of the coronavirus pandemic. With Stinebaugh are Connie Focht, who won the artwork she is holding, and featured speaker Capt. Guy Gruters, with a powerful presentation of being a Vietnam prisoner of war for more than five years. (Photo by John Schaffner)
