 COLUMBUS - John P. Onacila Jr., of Cleveland, recently was appointed by Governor Ted Strickland to serve a five-year term on the Ohio Waterways Safety Council, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) Division of Watercraft.

He also is a member of the Greater Cleveland Boating Association, Vermilion Power Squadron, Lake Erie Safe Boating Council, Inter-Lake Yachting Association, South Shore Cruising Club and Beaver Creek Boat Club. He additionally has received various boating awards and honors for his continued active role in recreational boating across the Lake Erie region.
