A big thank you to all who helped in some way with the Trunk or Treat event held on Oct. 28 at the Catawba Island Fire Station, hosted by the Fire Department Auxiliary. The weather could have been better, but it didn’t put a damper on the fun for those who attended. Great costumes, kids had fun with the games that the DECA students from Port Clinton High School helped with, and we even had one pet costume.
The auxiliary appreciates the follow- ing for their contribution to this event: JTs Catawba Cafe, Toft’s Dairy, Cameo Pizza/ Crosswinds Restaurant, Bergman’s Or- chards, Catawba Island Fire Department and Administration, The Lake House, Diane Beldon, DECA and to you, our community, for coming to our First Trunk or Treat. We hope to continue this event in the future.

I support Issue 8, which is the one mill renewal tax levy for the Oak Harbor Public Library. I enjoy reading the books that are available in hard copy, on CD’s borrowed from the library, as electronic books load- ed onto my Kindle or as MP3 electronic file books for listening to through a Bluetooth smartphone connection in my car. My wife and I have probably listened to over 200 books in our car while we have traveled over the last 10 years. It really helps make road trips more enjoyable. I am glad that the Library’s History Muse- um preserves the human history of the Oak Harbor community. It is fascinating to learn about the change and growth of the community over time. Someday our contributions will be part of the community history. The library is always busy when visit it. People of all ages are using it to discover in- formation or enjoy pleasure through read- ing books, accessing the internet through computer terminals or participating library programs. I also appreciate the hard-working, devoted staff that is friendly and always available to help with issues or questions. The library Board of Trustees is diligent in overseeing the library operation to be sure that the library resources are used to maximize the service of the library to the community. I urge you to vote “Yes” with me for Issue 8.

As Sheriff of Ottawa County, I have taken an oath to not only protect and serve my community, but also to ensure that like-minded people are placed into positions of trust. That is why I am voting for Joel Kuhlman for Judge of the 6th District Court of Appeals. I have known Joel’s family my entire life. Joel’s father was a couple of years ahead of me at Eastwood High School, and his uncle is married into our family. These men are of the highest integrity, exhibiting the leader- ship values that our youth will learn from for generations to come. Joel’s upbringing was instrumental in his receiving dual degrees from the University of Toledo (Engineering and Law), as well as his community work that he has already accomplished at a young age. Joel served as a Bowling Green City Councilman, as well as Wood County Commissioner. The integrity engrained in Joel through the family values he was taught from a young age will remain with him throughout his adult life. Therefore, it will also be evident through his service to our community as Judge within the 6th District Court of Ap- peals. Service to our community is of highest priority to me. And through recent conversations with Joel, I have confirmed that he feels just as strongly about putting service to his community ahead of his own needs. Please join me on Nov. 6 in casting a vote for Joel Kuhlman as Judge, 6th District Court of Appeals. All of the 6th District should be represented in our Court of Ap- peals, not just Toledo and its immediate suburbs, which is the present case. I believe that a vote for Joel is a vote for our future.
THANK YOU, STEPHEN J. LEVORCHICK OTTAWA COUNTY SHERIFF
