At 9 a.m. on Sunday At 1812 Food & Spirits and Rosies Bar & Grill on Sunday there was a line out the door for Nates 32nd Annual Benefit breakfast. Over $1500 was raised for the Holiday Bureau and the Salvation Army. In addition, there were boxes overflowing with toys and food items and clothing donated by the 175 people who enjoyed the festive brunch in 1812 and Rosies. Thanks to the vendors and the staff Santa wishes Chris Galvin a happy birthday for donating the food and their time for this benefit, said Kevin Lowe of 1812 Photos by Donna Lueke and Rosies.

Larry Hartlaub appointed Ottawa County Auditor

Monday evening at the meeting of the Ottawa County Democratic Party Central Committee Larry Hartlaub was appointed Ottawa County Auditor to fill vacancy for the unexpired term that was created by the retirement of Jodi Regal, newly elected County Commissioner. The term expires in 2014. The appointment must still be certified by the governors office, which can take two weeks. County Prosecutor Mark Mulligan outlined the ways the intricate process can be completed. Hartlaub received 17 votes to 3 for Lisa Sarty. Stephanie Skribina had also applied but withdrew her name from consideration prior to the meeting.

The true spirit of Christmas is alive and well

I would like to extend my personal thanks to all who once again donated to our Mitten Tree. Our friends at Salvation Army came by to pick up the last of the decorations on Monday. We were able to provide to the needy of Ottawa County a total of 174 items, many of which were beautifully hand knitted just for the Mitten Tree. We also had four coats donated! We can still take a few more items by the end of the week and sneak them into the distribution for Christmas. As always, the true spirit of Christmas is alive and well in Ottawa County.

Letters to the Editor

Bigotry should not be welcomed in Port Clinton restaurants After spending the Thanksgiving holiday at home with family, I went to Mr. Eds Bar and Grill to watch the Ohio State/Michigan game with fellow Port Clinton High School alumni. We had a great time and were happy to see that Ed Fitzgerald, the owner of the bar, was there and hosting a charity event to raise money for Port Clinton families who are struggling. However, after enjoying the game and donating to the fundraiser, I was disgusted by the evening entertainment that followed. The entertainer, known as Mad Dog, is apparently a frequent act on Put-in-Bay and on the mainland. Sadly, most of his performance that day was predicated on making fun of gay people. Whenever a person walked into the bar, Mad Dog asked the audience if the newcomer was gay or straight. Each time, his question was met with a holler of GAY! from the crowd. He made jokes about gay people in between songs. We were even treated to his song titled, Those Were the Gays, set to the tune of the television theme song, Those Were the Days. The bigotry towards gay people seemed never ending, except when interrupted by racist jokes about African Americans. I have never been so embarrassed in my hometown. After numerous attempts at contacting someone in charge at Mr. Eds, I finally received a return phone call from a manager who trivialized my concerns and assured me there was nothing she could do. When I asked another employee for Ed Fitzgeralds phone number so that I could talk to him about the situation, they told me that Ed loves Mad Dog and wouldnt care what I had to say. Does Mr. Fitzgerald realize that some people in the bar that day were visiting Port Clinton for the first time and now think it is a racist, homophobic town? Does he realize that some of the families his charity will help this holiday season will be African American families? Does he realize that members of some of the families will be gay? Why wouldnt he care what I have to say? One question remains for the residents of Port Clinton: Do you care? Scott Surovjak Port Clinton High School, Class of 2004 Thank you from Job and Family Services The Ottawa County Department of Job and Family Services would like to thank all of the community members who have worked and contributed to meet the needs of the less fortunate this holiday season. There are often times when we see needs that government programs are not designed to meet, especially at the holidays. Your efforts exemplify the caring and giving community in which we live. Thank you to 1812 Restaurant and Bar, Rosies Grille, their staff, and the staff from the former Nates Restaurant for continuing the annual Santa Benefit Breakfast, which provides assistance to those in need through the holiday and throughout the year. Thank you to Port Clinton troop of the Girl Scouts of Northwest Ohio for running the Pack a Truck food drive for our emergency food pantry. Thank you to the Ottawa County Realtors for the generous donations of Christmas gifts to our foster and other needy children. Thank you to the United Way and the Emergency Food and Shelter Program members for financially contributing to our emergency food pantry. Thank you to the staff at Job and Family Services for connecting families to the donations and resources we have available to them. Thank you to the countless volunteers and anonymous donors who have given of themselves to help our entire community enjoy the holiday season. Our genuine thanks go out to those organizations and individuals who respond through volunteer hours, gifts, and financial contributions. You made a difference in someones life this vear. Sincerely, Stephanie Kowal Director, Ottawa County Department of Job and Family Services Dear Constituents, As I conclude my work as your state representative, I find myself filled with a profound sense of gratitude. This is my last communication to you as your state representative, or at least for the time being. Holding public office has been a joy and a sacred privilege. Let me explain. When I first came into public office, particularly when I went to Columbus, I heard so many discordant and noisy voices from the far left and the far right that I found it annoying and even ridiculous. With time, however, I came to understand the deep wisdom in the creation of a democratically-elected legislature. As a state with over 11 million people and 220 miles across each way, we are a state with widely divergent views. It is precisely this cacophony of people and perspectives that creates the rich tapestry of our society. Ive come to appreciate, in this diversity, the handiwork of God himself. While this may be an unremarkable insight for many, it came as a revelation to me and in that and everyday life I find great joy. Public service has also been a privilege for the obvious reason that there are few who are able to serve in a limited number of offices. But it is also a privilege because we are entrusted with the authority that is only yours to give. And while many would argue that government is the very antithesis of secular society, I submit that there is a sacred dimension as well. While it may simply be that I lack the capacity to understand the obvious, I have never been able to fully comprehend the extraordinary authority with which I have been entrusted without thinking of it as a sacred gift which Ive been called upon to carry for a short while and return unblemished to the people who loaned it out. Im certain that we have not always agreed and know from the vote counts that many of you voted for my able opponents. I remain nevertheless deeply grateful to each of you for the opportunity to be of service. As one door closes, another invariably opens and I look forward to new opportunities to help in this beautiful area that my neighbors and I are lucky to call home. Sincerely, Ohio State Representative Dennis Murray Soundoff Papcun This is a very important message to all of you who helped in any way during our illness and recovery. Your prayers, cards, visits, etc., just shows again how much you care and it is just great to be from this area. Thank you and God bless you all, John and Betsy Papcun

The Reader, the Bell Ringer and the Blanket

BY DONNA LUEKE The Beacon office received a call this week from a kind-hearted Reader with a unique request. The Port Clinton woman, who wishes to remain anonymous, was talking with a Salvation Army Bell-ringer outside Community Market one day last week. The Reader asked the Bell-ringer if there was any need for an electric blanket, as she had one to give. The Bell-Ringer said that she would love to have an electric blanket. The Reader went home, thought about the Bell-Ringer, and called Salvation Army to offer the blanket to the woman. Since there were many bell-ringers that week, and the kindly Reader could not remember the exact time or day, it was not possible to determine the identity of the Bell Ringer. The Reader then called the Beacon and asked that we print this request that the Bell-Ringer with the wish for an electric blanket call the Salvation Army to receive her Christmas gift of an electric blanket from a kindly stranger. Whether the Reader, the Bell-Ringer and Blanket unite or not, our hearts are warmed.

AROUND OTTAWA COUNTY From the Bench

term in 2009. I also ran a private law office for 21 years before becoming Judge. I am married and have two children. I have lived all my life in this community. While it is improper for me to discuss any specific case, I will cover topics of general interest. I will also answer questions posed by readers so far as they do not relate to a specific case. Some topics I intend to cover are: an overview of the Ottawa County Court of Common Pleas, the duties and authority of the court, how a case comes before the Court and the steps to resolution in both civil and criminal cases. I will explain jury duty for grand jurors and petit jurors as well as the role the jury plays in a trial, both civil and criminal. I will explain criminal sentencing, diversion, intervention in lieu of conviction, probation, local jail time, prison time and other alternatives to traditional sentencing. I think you should know about Drug Court and explain what the Court is doing to address the issue of drug related offences. I will discuss foreclosure, divorce and dissolution, class action claims and more. I am very interested in your questions as well. Perhaps the best way to begin to explain our Court is to tell you what we do and what we dont do. The General Division of our court hears criminal cases which are felonies. Felony cases are those for which the punishment can be a year or more in prison, the more serious criminal offenses. Many of these cases are drug offences, thefts and cases involving physical harm. We also hear civil cases, that is money cases where the amount asked for is in excess of $15,000. These can be automobile accidents, foreclosures or property disputes. The Domestic Relations Division hears divorce and dissolution cases, child support and custody matters where the parents have divorced or are divorcing. The Domestic Relations Division also hears Domestic Violence Protection Order petitions and Stalking Protection Order petitions. Other duties of the General division include appointment of board members to

The Beacon

From the bench By Judge Bruce Winters We here at the Ottawa County Common Pleas Court believe we have a duty to better inform the public about the legal system. To that end I will be providing informative articles to be published on a periodic basis. My name is Bruce Winters and I am the Judge of the Ottawa County Court of Common Pleas General and Domestic Relations Divisions. I have worked in public service since 1975 when I began with the Oak Harbor Police Department. I subsequently served as a probation officer for the Ottawa County Juvenile Court, and as Ottawa County assistant prosecuting attorney. I served as a Magistrate in this court and was elected Judge and began a six year

the Veterans Commission, the commissioning of Notaries Public and appointment and budget approval of other conservancy districts and boards. I do not hear Juvenile cases, probate cases (the administration of wills and estates) and do not determine paternity, custody or support in those matters. I do not hear misdemeanor matters (less serious criminal and traffic matters) or small claims or bankruptcy cases. That said, we often find ourselves in situations where litigants have cases pending in more than one court and on occasion the orders of one court impact the other. In other instances, cases may be transferred from one court to another. The description offered above is an overview of what we do. I hope to bring you much moreinformation is the coming months. If you have questions not involving a specific case that you would like me to address in this forum, please e-mail me at ococpc@gmail.com.

National Art Portage Resale Instructor coming Center to Port Clinton NOW
The Port Clinton Artists Club is sponsoring a watercolor painting workshop at the Island House, 102 Madison St., featuring nationally known guest artist/instructor Mark Polomchak. The classes will be held from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, Jan. 11, 12 and 13. Polomchaks teaching style is engaging and entertaining. He works step-by-step, so everyone will go home with a painting suitable for framing from each day of class. The class offerings are at www.portclintonartistsclub.com, and the registration brochure is under the workshops/events tab. A 1975 graduate in fine art at Indiana University, Polomchak has exhibited his watercolors in various art shows and galleries throughout the United States and Canada. His style is achieved through the simplicity and grace of his painting. He produces a wide range of images, finding much of his inspiration in the serene lifestyle of the Amish, in the landscapes of the Midwest and the seascapes of New England. Polomchaks variety of subject matter also includes floral, abstracts, the Southwest and wildlife. His work can be viewed at www.polomchak.com. This workshop is open to the public and the cost is $60 per day. Seating is limited. For more information call Paula Hart at 419-734-5436.

Oak Harbor Students Perform with Toledo Symphony

On the evening of Nov. 28, Oak Harbor High School was the scene of sold-out performance that featured the Toledo Symphony Orchestra with Oak Harbor High School Choir and Band. Students were provided with the opportunity to perform alongside professional musicians. The performance also featured members of the Woodmore High School Chorale and Oak Harbor alum Kia Frank. The event was sponsored by the BentonCarroll-Salem Schools Music Boosters. The fundraising committee of Anne Mulligan, Pam Dedes, Ann David and Jaime Tooman worked to seek local sponsors. Mary Wood and a large committee transformed the theater into a winter wonderland for the event. Pam Dedes and Mary Frederick chaired the task of providing a meal for the Toledo Symphony and the nearly 250 performers. Mr. Russ Raber, Oak Harbor High School Choir Director commented, This was a once in a lifetime musical opportunity for our students. To perform alongside a major symphony is simply unheard of for high school students. My sincerest thanks to BCS Music Boosters and all the parents who worked so diligently to make this event a reality. Mr. Travis Magoto, Oak Harbor High School Band Director added, Having the opportunity to perform with a professional orchestra is something that our students will remember for the rest of their lives. It was truly a joy to have the opportunity to work with the Toledo Symphony, and I too would like to thank all who helped make this event possible. BCS Superintendent Guy Parmigian expressed his pride in the students, staff and all of the community that rallied to help make the event possible,This was such a rich experience for our students, and is a prime example of what makes BentonCarroll-Salem Schools the stand-out, world-class learning institution that we are.

PCHS Touch of Class attends festival, presents concert

The members of Port Clinton High Schools Touch of Class traveled to Kettering recently to participate in the Kettering Fairmont High School A Cappella Festival. Over 500 high school students from across the region came to participate in this event that featured the professional a cappella group Delilah. Delilah was featured on NBCs The Sing-Off during its third season. The members of Touch of Class had the opportunity to perform for members of Delilah and receive a one-on-one clinic to help them develop their talents. Later in the evening they were part of a sold-out audience to see Delilah perform in concert. Port Clinton High Schools Touch of Class is getting ready for a busy holiday performance season. The PCHS Holiday Concert is on Dec. 17 at 7:30 p.m. in the PCHS Performing Arts Center.

The Immaculate Conception Preschool ended their annual Christmas program on Sunday, Dec. 9, to a standing ovation by their families and friends. There could have been no better way to get into the Christmas spirit than to hear the voices of the thirty-eight 3 and 4 year olds sing the songs that they had been practicing for weeks. Under the direction of Miss Mary Heschel, Mrs. Michelle Wojciechowski, and Mrs. Amy Monk the sounds of the season couldnt have been sweeter and the spirit of Christmas couldnt have been more present.

Noted area soloists include soprano Katie Kline, teacher of voice at Bowling Green; alto Karen Roberts, soloist at St. John Lutheran; tenor Chris School, Chairman of Voice Department at Bowling Green State University; and bass Sean Cooper, Voice Faculty at Bowling Green State University.

The church has been full for past performances so come early to ensure a seat.

Enrich your life by becoming a Stein Hospice Volunteer

Retired teachers Carol Kegarise and Kathy Preston were looking for a meaningful way to spend their free time. They found that, and much more, when they joined Stein Hospice as a volunteer. Consider starting the New Year by joining these two women and dozens of other men and women who donate their time and talent to Stein Hospice. Two LifeCourse training classes begin in January, 2013. (See below.) Volunteer department staff works closely with volunteers to find an assignment that fits their schedule and preference. Carol joined Stein Hospice three years ago after the sudden death of her husband. Kathy followed a year and a half later. Both women expressed interest in visiting patients at both the Care Center and at nursing facilities near their homes. Their responsibilities and tasks vary. The two women listen to patients talk about their families, lifes milestones and thoughts about dying. They help patients with meals, and make sure families are comfortable. They load the dishwasher and stock the linen closet. And every Monday morning the two women volunteer together at the Care Center. As a result they have become good friends. Volunteers are so nurturing and selfless and positive. What better friendship can you make than that? Kathy said. LifeCourse , an 18-hour training program, will be offered at the following times: Firelands Regional Medical Center, South Campus, 1912 Hayes Ave., Sandusky, 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Jan. 7, 9, 14, 16, 21 and 23; Fremont Recreation Center, 600 St. Joseph St., Fremont, 9 a.m. to 12 p.m., on Jan. 8, 10, 15, 17, 22 and 24. To register contact the Volunteer Department, 800-625-5269. volunteers@steinhospice.org.

Port Clinton boys lose to Woodmore

Woodmore 68, Port Clinton 59 Behind 23 points from senior Donny Bowen, the Woodmore Wildcats defeated Port Clinton, 68-59, in non-conference action. After the Redskins outscored Woodmore, 17-12, in the first period, the Wildcats bounced back, outscoring the Skins, 24-6, in the second quarter to take the lead for good.

The Skins, meanwhile, fall to 0-3. Bowen led all scorers with 23 points and was complemented by Jake Lewandowski and Brad Flick, who finished with 16 and 12 points, respectively.

Oak Harbor girls improve to 2-1 on the season

After opening the season with a loss to Port Clinton last weekend, the Oak Harbor Rockets wanted to respond with a vengeance and they did just that in their 63-30 victory. In a game that saw Oak Harbor take the lead for good at 2-0 on Makayla Carpenter's steal and layup, the Rockets dominated throughout, controlling the tempo of the game as they slowly built the lead before taking a 34-14 lead into the half. Andrea Cecil and Maria Boers scored 30 of the Rockets' 34 first-half points with Cecil scoring 18 and Boers finishing with 12 points, nine of which came on three-pointers. In the first half, Cecil was able to break down the Charger defense with her athleticism, scoring on a number of high-percentage shots and feeding her teammates when the defense collapsed on her. Boers, meanwhile, connected on 4-of-9 field goals and was a consistent threat from the perimeter, scoring off a number of nice passes from point guard Makayla Carpenter. Oak Harbor head coach Tom Kontak, who got his first win as the Rockets' head coach, spoke about his team's play. We knew going in that Edison was a top pick (in the conference) and was very athletic, Kontak said. Combine that with what we all agreed was a disappointing performance to PC, and we were motivated. To hold Edison to 30 points, that's exciting, they're an athletic group. That was all parts of our game clicking. When they all understand their roles, that combined is pretty tenacious. Oak Harbor 61, Huron 33 After taking a 30-21 lead into the half, the Rockets put the game away in the second half by outscoring Huron, 31-12. Boers led the team with 22 points while connecting on five 3-pointers. Cecil finished with 14 points and Gezo chipped in with 13. Cecil got the team going in the first half with her penetration, scoring eight points as she helped Oak Harbor build its lead. Carpenter was able to break down the defense at times with her dribble penetration which opened things up for Boers, who scored most of her points on perimeter shots. And Gezo was a constant presence down low as she was able to get good inside position and score on several high-percentage shots. With the win, the Rockets improve to 2-1 overall and 2-1 in the Sandusky Bay Conference. This week, the Rockets travel to Bellevue to face the Lady Red and host Clyde and Woodmore.

Coach Hammond Retiring From Redskin Football

Toby Hammond announced last week he will retire from coaching football, something he has done for the last twenty-five years. The last nine years were as the Head Football Coach of the Port Clinton Redskins. While most coaches are judged by wins and losses, there is one thing for certain, the Redskins are better than they were nine years ago. Coach Hammond led the team to become more competitive and some games were just a play or two away from victory. He worked with district administration, alumni and community members to develop a strategic plan just for the football program, Redskin Rebuild. The group provided support to the football program and has benefitted all Redskin Athletes by raising over $80,000 in donations to build a new weight room at the stadium. The off season is also where Coach Hammond made a difference. With the new weight room, student athletes are working on and weight-training all year round. Coach Hammond will continue teaching at Port Clinton Middle School and will have more time to spend with his wife Diana and their grandchildren. Patrick Adkins, Superintendent of Schools stated, Coach Hammond has worked very hard to bring credibility to the Port Clinton football program and has been successful in doing so. We are very grateful to Coach Hammond and his family for what they brought to not only PC football but to our community as well. We wish him well as he begins this next chapter in his life.

Help Older Parents Avoid Financial Scams

Heres a disturbing statistic: One out of every five Americans over the age of 65 has been victimized by a financial scheme, according to the Investor Protection Trust, a nonprofit organization devoted to investor education. If your parents are in this age group, should you be concerned? And can you help them avoid being scammed so that they maintain control over their finances? The answer to the first question is yes you should be concerned. Of course, as the numbers above show, most aging Americans are not being swindled, which suggests they can take care of themselves quite well. Still, its no secret that many fraud schemes target seniors because of their concentrated wealth and in many cases, trusting nature. And as much as youd like to think otherwise, your parents could be susceptible to rip-off artists. Fortunately, in regard to the second question above, you can indeed take steps to help prevent your parents from being fleeced. Here are a few suggestions: Observe their behavior. If you live close to your parents, listen closely to any new friends, investment deals or sweepstakes they mention during your normal interactions.. If youre in a different city, try to stay abreast of your parents behavior by communicating with them frequently and by checking in with other family members or friends who have occasion to see your parents. Urge them to watch out for suspicious e-mails. Youve probably seen them the e-mails offering to reward you with huge amounts of money if you will only contact such-and-such from a distant country and then put up a small sum to initiate some ill-defined transaction. You probably spam these without a moments thought and you should urge your parents to do the same. Remind them that any offer that sounds too good to be true is, without question, neither good nor true. Encourage them to further their financial education. Law enforcement agencies, health care professionals and reputable financial services providers all offer personal financial management programs designed specifically for seniors. Look for these types of programs in your area, encourage your parents to attend and even consider going with them. Become familiar with their financial situation. Having a serious discussion with your parents about their finances may not be easy but its important. The more you know about their investments, retirement accounts and estate plans, the better prepared youll be to respond helpfully if they mention an action theyre considering taking that, to you, just doesnt sound appropriate. Suggest professional help. If your parents are already working with a qualified financial professional, theyre probably less likely to be victimized by fraud than if they were managing their finances on their own. And its a good idea for you to know their financial advisor, and for him or her to know you, as you may well be involved in your parents legacy planning. But if your parents dont already have a financial advisor, you may want to recommend one to them, particularly if its someone you already know and trust. Its entirely possible that your parents wont need any assistance in avoiding financial scams. But, just in case, be prepared to act on the above suggestions. Your intervention could help preserve your parents financial independence. This article was written by Edward Jones for use by your local Edward Jones Financial Advisor.

FDIC- personal accounts

BY JEFF ROTH With all of the national concerns, even protection of our funds in a nationally insured banking institution can be at issue. Several years ago the government increased the amount of coverage from $100,000.00 to $250,000.00 per depositor, per insured bank, for each account ownership category. The government devised a very complicated formula to determine exactly how much would be protected. It combines the entire depositors like accounts in the calculation. Protection is granted based on ownership and stated beneficiaries. Single accounts Single accounts are accounts that are held by one person in their individual name. The total of account protection for each banking institution is $250,000.00. This would include checking, savings, money markets or certificates of deposit or any form of those listed. All of these accounts are added together and considered one for insurance purposes. It has nothing to do with the number of accounts but rather the ownership of the accounts. Included in this category are any business accounts that are held in a doing business as nature. The account is separate only if it is a corporation or totally separate entity and has its own identification number, otherwise it is included in the above account totals. Joint accounts This is an account owned by two or more individuals. This would include joint with rights of survivor or tenants in common. Each person may have a total of $250,000.00 in any one banking institution. Each owner is considered to have an equal ownership interest unless clearly stated otherwise. If there are three owners then each has a onethird ownership. Each co-owner must have signed the signature card and have an equal right of withdrawal. If a person has $200,000.00 in various individual accounts and is a 1/2 owner of an account that has $160,000.00 then he or she will have coverage of a total of $250,000.00 and $30,000.00 will not be covered. All accounts are considered taken together and the use of the social security number is not relevant for insurance protection qualification. Payable on death accounts This is an account with a stated beneficiary. One must know the correct rules to guarantee protection. These accounts protect the beneficiary. If there are two beneficiaries and one dies, coverage terminates as to that beneficiary and only half of the account would be covered. Bank input is important to insure proper protection on this type of account. Individual retirement accounts This is an account that is owned and directed by you and not the plan administrator. This includes, IRAs, Roth IRAs, 401(k), Keogh plans, simplified Employed Pension Accounts and all 457 accounts. All self-directed funds owned by the same person are added together and protected up to $250,000.00 in each banking institution. It is irrelevant how many beneficiaries are listed. The only determination is $250,000.00 for each owner in each banking institution. Remember, this relates only to money accounts in an insured bank. This has nothing to do with stock. If an individual has seven different accounts ranging from $20,000.00 to $100,000.00 and many beneficiaries listed such as children and grandchildren only a total of $250,000.00 is covered and the balance is uninsured. My recommendation if you have considerable funds in several accounts at one banking institution is to have the accounts reviewed with a qualified bank employee. This will give you the comfort of knowing that the funds are totally protected with the full faith and credit of the United States.

The Beacon

Castalia State Fish Hatchery offers new lottery application dates for anglers
The application dates have changed for controlled troutfishing permits at Cold Creek at the Castalia State Fish Hatchery, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) Division of Wildlife. Anglers may apply for the controlled trout fishing random drawing from March 1-31. This is a change from previous years, when the application period was from the beginning of December to the end of January. The date change was made so anglers can apply for the drawing and fish at Castalia State Fish Hatchery in the same license year. Applicants must still purchase an Ohio fishing license to apply for the drawing. Anglers interested in fishing in the creek must apply online at wildohio.com in March and pay a non-refundable $3 application fee in order to be eligible for the random drawing. Random drawings for permit selection will be held in April, and fishing begins in May. An Ohio resident annual fishing license costs $19; a oneday fishing license costs $11. Individuals who purchase a one-day fishing license may later return it to a license agent to receive credit toward the purchase of an annual fishing license.
