MIDDLE BASS ISLAND
Mark Reighard couldn't find a place to sit.
With July 4 approaching, the popular winery buzzed with the holiday weekend excitement of 1,000 people.
Music bounced off the castle's walls and ricocheted across the island. A light breeze blew off the shoreline, easing the assault of the early summer sunshine.
Because of the heavy crowd, Reighard, 29, a successful businessman and Toledo native, stood beside a full table of friends, munching on pizza and sipping wine.
And then the floor disappeared.

Gee wiz, go to the doctors here in sandusky, and the bills never stop coming, they even got magic numbers that apear from nowhere, and change the numbers and get billed twice, this was it for me, last straw. That why I will never again go to doctors here. CLEVELAND CLINIC here I come. You'd think they would learn after loosing so many clients.
