CRYSTAL BOWERSOX Elliston Idol Singer could be headed home for performance

Home visit Friday

If American Idol Contestant Crystal Bowersox survives Wednesday night’s elimination, this is her tentative “Hometown Visit” schedule for Friday, May 14:

BY ROBERTA REDFERN She has been compared to musical greats Janis Joplin and Bonnie Raitt.

She has been called “the one everyone has to beat” and a “true artist” from the infancy of this year’s season of the wildly popular Fox television show “American Idol.”

But local native and Idol contestant Crystal Bowersox — who calls a small western Ottawa County town home — has already made a mark on the world regardless of the show’s eventual outcome.

“I hope she makes it. She deserves it,” said fellow Ottawa County resident and fan Emmie Crump.

The show has aired weekly since February, and Elliston resident Bowersox made it to at least the final four before a winner is crowned in just a few weeks (The Beacon’s deadline for this publication was Wednesday morning before the elimination round airs Wednesday night).

But if Tuesday night’s performance had the impact it should have had on the nation, she’s still around.

“I have been saying this since Day One — you are definitely an artist,” said Idol Judge Randy Jackson.

The top three contestants are jetted off to their hometowns for local performances that will air nationwide next week. Should Crystal still be on the show at the time of this publication, she is scheduled for a whirlwind of activities Friday in Ottawa and neighboring Lucas counties, including a mini-concert Friday afternoon at the Ot-

• 8 a.m. — Interview on 101.5 FM, The River: In studio with Mary Beth and Rick.

• 11:30 a.m. — Downtown Toledo Parade: It will start near OwensCorning at 11:30 a.m. and end at Promenade Park. Crystal will do a two or three-song concert at Promenade Park after the parade.

(Parade will begin on Ottawa Street in front of O-C, heading toward the high-level bridge, then turn on Washington and on to Summit Street back toward downtown.

Parade will end near the Key Bank building downtown on Summit Street.)

• 4 p.m. — Ottawa County Fairgrounds, “Bower-Stock”: There will be a small parade on the fairgrounds at 4 p.m. then Crystal will do a two- or three-song concert.

Gates open at 1 p.m.

• 6 p.m. — Toledo Mudhens Game, Fifth Third Field: Crystal will sing the National Anthem and throw out the first pitch.

BY ROBERTA REDFERN A local girl with a special connection to overnight superstar Crystal Bowersox is hoping to be front and center Friday at the American Idol contestant’s event at the Ottawa County Fairgrounds.

Hannah Castro, 10, of Port Clinton, has had Type I diabetes since she was 5. It’s the same disease Bowersox has, and the same one that landed her in the hospital early in the American Idol competition.

“Hannah looks up to Crystal as a role model,” said her mother, Jennifer Garlock. “It’s been a day of e-mails and constantly calling people. We are hoping we can get her up close to the stage. She will definitely be at the fairgrounds and then we are going to the Mud Hens game right after.”

Hannah’s crusade to help herself and others afflicted with her disease goes beyond connecting with the American Idol star, however.

A week ago, she created Hannah’s Hope for a Cure — a Facebook page to garner support for the Walk for a Cure that is held at East Harbor State Park every year. In that amount of time, she has gathered more than 1,400 fans and has raised about $650 for her cause, said her mom.

“The group just grew and grew with new members joining rapidly and donating,” Garlock said.

Hannah is raising the money to go toward the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, the national organization that hosts the Walk across the country every year. Hannah has to inject herself three to five times a day with insulin, but has a great attitude about her disease. Her site says she likes to listen to her iPod, go shopping, play on her scooter and listen to Hannah Montana.

“I will do anything for my daughter … she is the bravest little girl I know,” Garlock said.

tawa County Fairgrounds.

“It’s a way to allow Crystal to come back to her roots in Ottawa County, to be recognized for what she has accomplished,” said Ottawa County Commissioner Jim Sass, who helped organize the fairground event. “It also creates some positive national exposure for Ottawa County and that’s a good thing.”

Crystal will participate in radio interviews at local stations Friday morning, followed by a parade in downtown Toledo.

Later that evening, after her performance at the Ottawa County Fairgrounds, she will make an appearance at the Toledo Mud Hens game at Fifth Third Field in Toledo to sing the national anthem and throw the first pitch.

Ottawa County’s rising young star, whose musical idols include Joplin, Jewel, Tracy Chapman and Melissa Etheridge, has stayed true to form throughout the national competition. Also playfully nicknamed “Mama Sox” by the nation because of her devotion to young son, Tony, the 24-yearold sang gospel at her local church growing up, rocked it out in local pubs and taverns, and played her guitar and sang in the subways of Chicago.

Her style is that of a gravelly rocker with a powerful voice that she usually accompanies with a guitar, although she showed the world her potential for diversity a few times by ditching the guitar for a piano, having a Didgeridoo instrument player accompany her, and well, just Crystal and her voice. Wildly popular throughout the entire county, her biggest fans are locals Bill, her father; her boyfriend, Tony; and their son, little Tony.

“Especially in Ottawa County I think there will be a pretty big turnout,” said Tom Cook, program director at 101.5 FM Toledo, The River.

On Tuesday night, the contestants were mentored by actor and R&B singer Jamie Foxx and sang songs from movies. Crystal performed a solo song last, and also did a duet with fellow contestant Lee DeWyze halfway through.

For her solo, Bowersox chose the song “I’m All Right” from the movie Caddyshack, a song by artist Kenny Loggins.

“That performance just got ‘Crystallized.’

I think you actually took that song and made it better,” said Idol Judge Ellen DeGeneres.

The other judges agreed.

“I would say after that performance, you,

Crystal, are back in the game,” said curmudgeon-like Judge Simon Cowell.

Since she made it to the shows finals, she has remained “in the game” locally, as residents near and far root her on. As one drives west in Ottawa County, fan support is apparent everywhere. In Oak Harbor, where Crystal went to high school, not a single window front is clean of decorative paint cheering on the local sensation.

Slightly further west is Bowersox’ hometown of Elliston, a tiny community that sits to the north of Ohio 163.

At the outskirts of the town sits a sign reading “Ellison, Est. 1867 Home of Crystal Bowersox.” A stone’s throw away is Crystal’s church, the Trinity United Church of Christ, which decorates its yard with a sign supporting the star. Members meet every week to watch their hometown hero, wearing bright red shirts that say “Elliston, Ohio Supports Crystal Bowersox and I Do, Too!” Crump, an employee of Country Keg farther on down the road, wears her shirt at work, and is joined by patrons on a daily basis. She heard Crystal perform at the “Keg” a few years back — before her days on Idol — and is more than impressed.

“She does an excellent Janis Joplin. I think that’s her best style,” Crump said.

COMMENTARY

The Beacon

By VIRGINIA PARK

Beacon Bits

It’s green, green, green everywhere

It’s Monday and I’m out and about on my lunch break. And “sure and begorra,” ‘tis a fine and splendid day! No, I’m not in Ireland. But with all the vibrant shades of green in the grass, foliage and flowers, our community looks a bit like pictures of Ireland that I have seen over the years.

Here it is in the middle of May and the outdoors colors look clean and beautiful.

And there is a fresh, clear look in the air.

Last Friday night, May 7, the sky wasn’t very pretty, though. In fact, it was dark and threatening. When the alarm sirens sounded, I went out to look around but could see nothing awful heading my way.

After a while my son Jeff called and said, “well, did the wind blow you away?”

Nope, I was still around. He said that was because the storm in my area had gone past just a bit to the south. We talked for a few minutes and I didn’t think any more about it until later.

That’s when I was standing at the kitchen sink, cleaning vegetables and fruit to cut up and put in the refrigerator and the sky off to the west looked foreboding

and dark. Only a few minutes later it had grown much darker still. In fact the sky seemed to be getting blacker moment by moment as I watched! It didn’t look good out in the western skies.

So I called my brother-in-law. Was there a storm coming?

“Nope.”

Well, I told him, this one that is coming NOW looks worse than the earlier one.

But he said he’d been watching television and there were no more forecasts for violent storms.

Then we heard that a tornado had touched down in Clyde. Our sister lives in Clyde. She said the weather was fine there.

Later we heard that a sheer cloud had been sighted there. Our sister hadn’t seen it. In fact, the weather at her house was totally okay.

Then we heard that a tornado had touched down in Fostoria and was moving eastward at 60 mph into southern Seneca County where friends live. The friends were preparing to go into their basement. The storm did not arrive there.

Mother’s Day was a strange day for me.

I was gone all day and didn’t have the opportunity to accept my son’s invitation to brunch. But when I got home at about 10 p.m. there was a very nice bouquet of cut flowers on the kitchen cupboard with a card. That was so nice, a welcome home indication that Jeff had been there.

While carrying things from the car in the garage to the house, I saw a little box near the vase of flowers! Opening it revealed a little cross pendant on a chain. It was silver and had little beads in it. That was very nice.

Then, under all of that, there was a manual for a microwave. So I looked in the cupboard where the old microwave had been and there was a new one in its place.

The old was completely gone — it had totally disappeared from sight. I wouldn’t have the nuisance job of getting rid of it.

All that was very nice — a super topper to a long day. nnn

Finally I went to bed and stopped thinking about all the forecasts. It had been a really “weird” weather night.

Saturday was cold and blustery but since then there’s been a big improvement. Today is gorgeous. From one extreme to another — yes, that is spring time in northwest Ohio.

Does this seem possible? I read that there are 2 million different sandwich combinations that can be created by a Subway restaurant menu! My question: how long would it take to try (or even just taste) all of them? nnn

As summer heat gets nearer, some good advice is to make sure your ceiling fans are in good shape. Use of ceiling fans keep

the air in your home circulating, help to keep you cool and are cheaper to operate then your air conditioner. Another good option is a box fan or an oscillating fan.

In fact, I sometimes use fans in addition to the air conditioner in order to keep the cost of electricity down. This works if you don’t have the temperature set too low on the thermostat.

And your lawn equipment needs to be in tip-top shape now. Keep your power mower clean by scraping the blades and undersides of your mower (only when the mower is turned off, of course). Now is a good time to plant flowers; the frost-free date for our area is May 15, I believe. And if you do your summer repair work and painting now, rather than later, you’ll have more time for fun in the sun as the season rolls on.

Be sure to put down mulch after your flowers are planted. Mulch helps to retain moisture and inhibits the growth of weeds. And it looks nice, too. nnn

The annual recycling sale at Lakeside is May 21-22. Sponsored by the United Methodist Women, it will be held at South Auditorium — directly across the street from the United Methodist Church. The sale will be open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday and 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday. In the afternoon Saturday, you can fill a bag of “whatever” for $1.50. If you want to get rid of items, you may donate them to the sale up until May 20. nnn

Also planned for Saturday, May 22, is the Annual Ace of Clubs 4-H Bake Sale to help fund tuition for members attending 4-H camp this summer. This year’s bake sale takes place at the Friendship Stores located at Ohio 53 and State Road and Ohio 2 and 101. Be sure to stop by and pick up some sweet treats or the ever-popular pepperoni rolls during your travels. You’ll enjoy the goodies and the proceeds from the sale go for a great cause. nnn

I was sorry to learn that Otterbein North Shore’s wonderful executive director, Rhonda Wolpert, has left the facility.

But congratulations are in order because Rhonda has taken a position as development director at St. Francis in Tiffin. This talented gal will also do grant-writing for St. Francis. And she will be working much closer to her home at Republic, Ohio. We wish her well in her new position.

AROUND OTTAWA COUNTY

Thursday, May 13, 2010 5A

Allen Twp honors veterans and Mother Nature Allen Township became a pioneer in Ottawa County by installing the first section of porous or pervious pavement in the Allen Township Cemetery memorial area.

“Traditional concrete pavement or asphalt can be ‘impervious’ by not allowing water to filter into the ground.

Instead the water runs off the surface picking up pollutants and warms the water temperature,” said Crystal Dymond, Ottawa Soil and Water Conservation District stormwater technician. “This can be harmful to the receiving streams and aquatic life.

By installing the pervious pavement, Allen Township is allowing the water to filter into the pavement through small pores to reduce pollutants and potential flooding.”

The memorial was designed to honor veterans, firefighters, families, organizations and now Mother Nature. This is not the first environmentally friendly act within the cemetery.

Grant funding through the OSS Solid Waste District was used to install recycled steel posts for fences and recycled trash bins.

Ottawa County Commissioner

Mark Stahl, Allen Township Trustees Scott Everhardt and Greg Blausey, maintenance supervisor Mike Harder, fiscal agent Sonia Eischen and the OSWCD were some of those present during construction. The pervious pavement installation was done by Bureau Concrete from Perrysburg.

Allen Township officials are excited to continue “going green” and invite residents to support the memorial by purchasing engraved bricks or granite benches.

For information, call 419-898-1595 or 419-836-4204.

Murray to host tour and Car seat checks Saturday town hall in Sandusky COLUMBUS — State Representative Dennis Murray (D-Sandusky) scheduled a town hall meeting on Monday, May 17, at Sandusky’s Big Island Water Works as part of a continuing effort to hear the concerns and perspectives of the people he represents. The event will start with a tour of the Sandusky facility.

Murray’s location for this town hall focuses attention on the challenges to safe drinking water. Following the tour, Doug Keller, Sandusky Superintendent of Water Services, will outline several of these challenges and answer questions about the ways water systems, like Sandusky, can respond.

“We must not underestimate the importance of reliable, safe drinking water,” said Murray. “Hopefully, this event will help highlight the challenges we face

and help educate people about the water treatment process.”

“One of the most rewarding aspects of serving as state representative are listening and talking to people in town hall and other meetings as we collectively consider how to best shape our state government,” said Murray. “It is also a productive opportunity to learn about legislation that we should be considering and to have small group discussions about people’s expectations of government in a time of hardship and change.”

The tour and town hall will be 6 to 7:30 p.m. at Big Island Water Works, 2425 First St., Sandusky.

Guests who plan on participating in the tour should wear sensible shoes — this is a working facility including many steps and tight spaces.

Compost workshops offered at wildlife refuge Composting is one form of recycling that can happen right in your backyard.

Discover how composting yard waste, food scraps and other organic materials are used to create a nutrient-rich soil conditioner for your yard or garden. The Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge, Ottawa, Sandusky, Seneca Joint Solid Waste Management District, Sandusky County Park District, Ottawa County Soil and Water Conservation District and Seneca County Health Department are sponsoring a composting workshop on Tuesday, May 25.

Pre-registration is required to attend one

of two available sessions because of limited space. The sign up deadline is Friday, May 21. The first session will begin at 10 a.m. and the evening session will begin at 6:30 p.m. In addition, there will be a charge of $5 to participate, which must be pre-paid before the event.

The 2010 workshop will be held at the Ottawa County at the Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge at 14000 W. Ohio 2, Oak Harbor. Each year the workshop is sponsored in one of the district’s three counties.

The compost workshop is open to all district residents. This includes all residents

of Fostoria and Bellevue.

“It doesn’t make any sense to throw away materials that can be turned into compost in your backyard,” said Tim Wasserman, director of the OSS Joint Solid Waste Management District. “We want to offer these workshops to educate residents on the proper way to create and maintain a compost pile.”

The workshop will cover basic techniques and essentials of composting. These aspects include the composting process, materials to place in your pile, common compost problems, as well as other helpful

information.

Registered participants will be put into a drawing to win composting and gardening door prizes. In addition, participants will be provided with snacks and a hayride tour of the refuge grounds during the morning session only (in case of inclement weather, the hayride will not be offered).

Residents may pre-register by calling the Ottawa County SWCD office at 419-8981595. Information regarding the workshop can also be found on the OSS Solid Waste District’s website: www.recycleoss.org.

TV collection May 22 AmeriCorps honors The Ottawa, Sandusky, Seneca Joint Solid Waste District is sponsoring a television recycling collection Saturday, May 22. The event is open to Ottawa, Sandusky and Seneca County residents, including all residents of Bellevue and Fostoria. This collection is for residents only. Materials from businesses will not be accepted. The event will take place from 9 a.m. until 12 p.m. at the Ottawa County Fairgrounds, West Ohio 163, Oak Harbor.

Residents will be charged to recycle CRT (lead/glass tube) televisions. The fee associated with the service reflects 25 percent of the district’s cost and is based on contract pricing with electronics recycler. To determine the size of your television, measure your screen diagonally from corner to corner.

Fees for televisions are as follows: • TV’s 24” and smaller — $2 • TV’s 25” and larger — $3 • All console units & projection screen TV’s (limit 2 per resident) — $5 Additional materials that will be accepted at no charge include electronics (e.g. DVDs, VCRs, stereos, etc.), flat-panel televisions and cell phone equipment.

All electronics will be processed in the U.S. and all plastics, metals and leaded and nonleaded glass materials will be recycled. Only wood from the console and projection screen televisions will be landfilled. Additionally, lead and mercury will be removed domestically and handled under U.S. regulations.

Computers are no longer accepted during the television recycling collection.

A full-time option for computer recycling is available at Goodwill Store locations throughout the area including Port Clinton’s store at 205 S.E. Catawba Road.

Computers and computer-related equipment will be recycled through the Reconnect program, an electronics recycling partnership between Dell and Goodwill Industries. For information, residents can contact their local Goodwill store directly or visit the Reconnect Web site at www.reconnectpartnership.com.

Questions regarding the television recycling collection may be directed to the OSS Solid Waste District Office toll free at 888-850-7224.

Andrea Weber

PORT CLINTON — This week, United Way AmeriCorps is recognizing Andrea Weber in honor of National AmeriCorps Week. Weber is serving her second consecutive year at United Way in Ottawa County as a community mentor.

Weber provides information and referral for Ottawa County residents in need. In her two years of service, she has taken more than 3,100 calls regarding rent, utilities, food, medical bills/prescriptions and transportation needs. She delivers food to those with no transportation and interacts closely with other nonprofits located in the Sutton Center where United Way is housed. Weber also coordinates other United Way volunteers in the office.

“The experience here has been wonderful and such a blessing. I’ve learned so much about the community and what the needs are and how

we can help,” Weber said.

AmeriCorps, a national service program, provides opportunities for individuals to give back to local communities through jobs that range from tutoring and mentoring youth and running after-school programs to building afford- WEBER able housing and helping communities respond to disasters. The program is now recruiting for its 2010-11 service year.

For more about the program and how to become a United Way AmeriCorps member, visit www.unitedwaytoledo.org/americorps or call 419352-2390.

Ace of Clubs 4H club elect Kay Bodi as president The Ace of Clubs 4-H club met on March 22 in the community room at Riverview Senior Health Care Campus. Members received their 2010 Ottawa County Fair project books and were reminded the fair will be July 19-25 with pre-fair judging taking place the week before. All members taking livestock projects attended a Quality Assurance session. The remaining members played word games while the

younger Cloverbud members talked about farm animals and colored pictures of a farm setting.

The Ace of Clubs 4-H club met again April 11 at the Ottawa County Fairgrounds. The meeting began with the election of officers for the year. Members elected Klay Bodi as president, Sarah Bastian as vice president, Michelle Fillmore as treasurer and Emily Shaw as secretary.

Alex Suter and Thomas Keville will share health and safety responsibilities. Suter, Keville and Madeline Brazzel will share recreation tasks. Lauren Shaw will report club information to the newspaper.

Following the election of officers, a grand Easter Egg hunt took place with more than 900 eggs hidden for participants to find. A special area was designated for Cloverbud members only. Each egg held paper tokens

to be traded in for special prizes of each member’s choice.

Members were reminded of the annual Ace of Clubs Bake Sale to take place Saturday, May 22, at the Friendship Stores located at Ohio 53 and State Road and Ohio 2 and 101. Proceeds will help fund tuition for members attending 4-H camp. The next meeting will be May 16 at the Ottawa County Fairgrounds.

East Harbor gets $75K for improvements

Hi, Barry the Bear here. I am still being held captive. We have raised about $150 for the Humane Society. My kidnapper will not release me until we raise $2,000 for my friends at the Humane Society. They need food and litter really bad. I went golfing this week and even though I am having a good time, I really miss my family and friends at my home, the Catawba Inn. Please make checks payable to the Humane Society and drop them off or send them to the Catawba Inn at 4112 Crogan Road, Port Clinton, OH 43452. Please, I want my friends to eat and I want to come home.

COLUMBUS — State Representative Dennis Murray (D-Sandusky) today announced $75,000 in state funds for revitalization efforts at East Harbor State Park that will attract tourists and help the local economy. The project includes a new beach house with an updated restroom and shower facility.

“The new beach house will continue to make the beach and the entire state park a summer destination for families. East Harbor is an incredible asset belonging to the people of Ohio, and it has the potential

In September, Emily Wadsworth joined Stein Hospice as a nurse at the inpatient care center. Friends worried that working at a hospice center might be difficult for Emily, whose cancer was in remission.

“Because I have cancer, I should be there,” the 61-year-old Clyde nurse told them.

Emily’s career at Stein was brief, but her impact was vast. She served patients and families with compassion and dedication, never satisfied until all their questions were answered.

When Emily’s cancer returned and she was no longer able to work, she shifted her attention to other Stein projects.

This spring she laid the groundwork for Emily’s Library. A room at the care center will soon hold books, recordings and computers to help educate and comfort patients and families.

“I think one of the best gifts you can give a family is the understanding of what is happening,” she explained.

Emily joined a Stein committee that was planning a caregiver conference so she could share her experiences from both sides of the bed. And in an effort to further reach out to others, she asked to be part of Stein’s advertising campaign.

Emily wasn’t able to complete all her projects. She died April 8 at the care center, receiving the kind of care she once delivered.

Stein Hospice helped Emily deal with her death on her terms.

to be a great beach again. While it appears to many that well-intentioned engineering mistakes have harmed the beach in the past, the state is now on the right track to correct these issues. Our actions today will ultimately allow science and Mother Nature working together to restore the beach that many of us enjoyed in years past.”

Murray also noted that Ohio has applied for $1.14 million of Great Lakes Restoration Initiative funding to better understand the complex situation at East Harbor and to conduct a pilot project to determine the best method for restoring the beach.

ALZHEIMER’S ASSOCIATION

Caregiver support groups offered in Ottawa County People who have Alzheimer’s disease or a related disorder are often cared for at home by family members and friends.

The Alzheimer’s Association, Northwest Ohio Chapter, invites anyone who has a family member or friend with memory loss to attend a caregiver group meeting.

Caring for a person with Alzheimer’s disease is a challenge. Changes in the person’s behavior, caused by the progress of the disease, can lead to frustration and anxiety for a caregiver. Caregivers attending a support group meeting find a relaxed, confidential atmosphere. They are among other caregivers and discuss suggestions for handling specific medical, legal, behavioral and financial problems.

Meetings are free and open to the community. Registration is not required however, it is strongly suggested that you contact the facilitator of the group you plan to attend

for the first time to confirm the time, place and date of the meeting or the Alzheimer’s Association, Northwest Ohio Chapter, at 1-800-272-3900 or 419-227-9700.

Port Clinton’s meetings are at 9 a.m. the second Monday of every month in the Conference Room at Magruder Hospital, 615 Fulton St. The facilitators are Priscilla Faris, 419-341-1434, and Marian Blevins, 419-797-4923. The facilitator for Oak Harbor meetings — which have no set time — is Amy Simkus, 419-239-8235.

The Alzheimer’s Association, Northwest Ohio Chapter, provides an extensive range of caregiver and professional education programs, support groups, a 24-hour Helpline, an Adult Day Center and more.

Locals get shot at free ride EHOVE giving car to one student with perfect attendance EHOVE Career Center will give away a car to one lucky student as part of its Perfect Attendance Initiative. Students qualify as having perfect attendance if they have no absences, no tardies, and no suspensions. Getting a chance to win is simple, if students follow the basics. “Be here, be on time, and make good decisions,” said Assistant Principal Rod Smith.

Drawings are also weekly and quarterly with prizes like mp3 players, iPods, gift cards, Wii game system and Guitar Hero. The longer the time period with no absence, the bigger the prize in the drawing.

Prizes have been donated by local businesses, citizens or staff, or paid for by grants.

At noon Friday, May 14, in front of EHOVE’s A Building, all EHOVE students will be present to find out who will win a 1997 Ford Taurus.

Two locals are among the 24 students who had perfect attendance and qualified for the drawing: Libertad Flores and Alandra Willis, both students at Danbury High School.

The car was donated by Tom Surdyk, a former Sandusky City Schools teacher. After EHOVE received the vehicle, it first became

another opportunity for some students to learn. Students in the Auto Tech program and their instructor went over the vehicle for safety purposes and fixed any problems they encountered.

“EHOVE’s attendance incentives are a great way to reward students who are demonstrating a commitment to their future by coming to school regularly,” said Assistant Director Mark Ringlein.

“Our advisory members and business partners routinely tell us that workplace skills like punctuality and attendance are very important to them.”

BUSINESS

The Beacon

B&B owners changing with the times The Port Clinton Area Bed and Breakfast Association, now starting its eighth year, shows how small businesses can change & thrive. The 9 member Inns are scattered through out Port Clinton, Catawba and Marblehead. They joined together to pool resources, talents and to promote their bed and breakfasts.

The members of PCABBA look to each other for help, advice, friendship and referrals, but do not consider each other as rivals, or “the competition.” Working together, sharing ideas and traumas, strengthens the group and their businesses. To best serve customers, members commonly recommend other inns when they are full or the other inn would suit a guest more appropriately. In 2010, the innkeepers diverse talents are moving them forward as they define their unique niches in the tourism industry.

Victoria Heinsen, owner of the Marshall Inn, has become well known for her evening Ghost Walks around the downtown Port Clinton area. Her talents and these walks reached the ears of The History Press who contracted with her to write Haunted Tales of “Lake Erie’s Northcoast: Port Clinton, Put-in-Bay, Catawba, Marblehead and Other Ghostly Communities,” a book about the ghostly activities in the area. Look for Victoria at area book signings this summer to obtain your copy. Victoria’s husband Ed has talents of his own and is famous for his delicious homemade cinnamon rolls that he offers every Sunday to guests at the inn.

Allen & Barb Cabral, owners of the Battenberg Inn, are working to support and promote tourism in the Shores

and Islands area in ways that reach beyond their bed and breakfast.

Allen is currently president of the Ottawa County Visitors Bureau board where his legal and accounting background aid the board in decision making. Barb is working to promote The Shores and Islands for “Destination Weddings.” She performs wedding ceremonies and offers whole house rentals where couples can have a small romantic wedding in their Victorian Home.

In fact, the whole house rentals have become so popular that they are now the main focus of Battenberg Inn where the house is available for reunions and seminars.

Wayne and Ann Duez have been the proud owners of the Victorian Inn Bed and Breakfast for the past 16 years.

They are a great example of how changing with the times and being sensitive to customers needs and wants insures long-term success. Always ready to go the extra mile, Ann, who is the past president of the Marblehead Chamber of Commerce and the Ottawa County Visitor Bureau board, has also helped many other local businesses to succeed.

The Victorian Inn is a romantic and charming Victorian farmhouse built in the 1800s.

Here, the Duez family enjoy guest year round and where they are also are able to provide food service for large groups and special occasions. Unique among the area B&Bs and a favorite with the ladies, is the gift shop attached to the inn.

Bird watching is exceptional on The Shores and Islands of Lake Erie particularly during the spring and fall migra-

Financial Focus with GARY COON

When investing, learn about risk In life, you can’t avoid all risks — and you shouldn’t try, because endeavors that carry risk also bring the prospect of reward. And it’s certainly the same in the investment world. So instead of trying to invest risk-free, which is impossible, learn to recognize the different types of investment risk while becoming familiar with your own risk tolerance.

With coupon. Expires 05-17-10 Not valid with any other offer.

To start with, let’s quickly look at some of the most common forms of investment risk: • Risk of losing principal — This is the type of risk most commonly associated with investing. You could lose some, or even all, of your principal if you sell an investment, such as a stock, whose value has dropped lower than the purchase price. You can’t eliminate the risk of losing principal, but you may be able to reduce it by buying quality stocks and holding them long enough to overcome short-term market drops.

• Inflation risk — With an investment that pays a fixed rate of return, such as a certificate of deposit (CD), you run the risk of not keeping up with inflation, which means you could lose purchasing power over time.

Consequently, it’s a good idea not to “overload” on these types of investments.

• Interest-rate risk — When you own a bond, your investment is somewhat at the mercy of changing market interest rates. For example, if you buy a bond that pays four percent interest, and market rates rise so that newly issued bonds pay five percent, the relative value of your bond will go down; no one will pay you face value of your bond when they can get new ones that pay higher rates. Of course, if you hold your bonds until maturity, which is often a good idea, you can avoid being victimized by interest-rate risk.

• Concentration risk — This type of risk occurs when you have too much of your money concentrated in one area, such as in a particular stock or in one industry. If a downturn strikes that stock or industry, your portfolio could take a big hit. To combat this type of risk, you need to diversify your holdings among stocks, bonds, government securities and other investments. While diversification, by itself, cannot guarantee a profit or protect against a loss, it can help reduce the effect of volatility.

In addition to understanding the above types of risk, you also need to be familiar with your own risk tolerance and how it affects your investment strategy. If you are constantly worried about “the market,” you’ve probably got too many investments that are at risk of losing principal. At the other end of the spectrum, if you’re always concerned that your portfolio won’t grow enough to generate the income you’ll eventually need for retirement, you may be investing too conservatively — and, as a result, you’re inviting inflation risk.

Ultimately, you need to match your own risk tolerance with a strategy that allows you to achieve your goals. This will require self-awareness, patience, discipline — and, at times, a willingness to move outside your own “comfort zone.” By learning to balance and manage risk, you can ultimately put yourself in a position to pursue your investment strategy.

tions. Focusing on birding promotions is an excellent way for local tourism-related businesses to expand their busy summer season into the spring and fall “shoulder seasons.”

Many of the B&Bs provide opportunities for bird watching including The Five Bells Inn. Here Jerry and Eileen Jarc, taking advantage of their perch overlooking Lake Erie, are attracting bird watchers to their home. They have also become active in the Black Swamp Bird Observatory and in the promotion of the Biggest Week in American Birding held in the area. The Jarcs have owned the 5 Bells Inn since 1998. Here they have met hundreds of people over the years and feel that they have been enriched by meeting so many good people and through working together with PCABBA members.

The PCABBA is expanding with new faces and a brand new Bed and Breakfast. Bart and Sandy Erwin open the doors to their B&B, Our Sunset Place. Only steps from Lake Erie, this delightful location is perfect for kayakers who seem to be increasing in numbers by the day and for bird watchers. Their beautiful gardens can be viewed from the deck and are a perfect place to look for butterflies and migrating birds. This unique property also offer birders a chance to view shore birds from the deck while breakfasting or from the waters edge.

SunnySide Towers in Catawba has new owners, Scott and Vickie, who are also new PCABBA members. This intriguing B&B is being refreshed not only with paint and decorations but also with the bright enthusiasm of these new owners. They are breathing new life into this historic B&B which features almost 2 acres of yard space. Additionally, with access to 18 acres of woods it offer a great place to commune with nature and do some bird watching. They reported that a recent guest spotted 22 bird species on their 30-minute hike!

Other PCABBA members are The Bashful Mermaid and Bayhaven Inn in Port Clinton; and McKenna’s Inn in Catawba. These Inns have been PCABBA members since its founding. Their continued success is a testament to their adaptability and exceptional customer service.

Here is what just one of our customers had to say: I am an Ex-CEO TeleCom Ind. and now a Business & Technology Consultant. We took our business virtual approx. 4 years ago. We are 98+% automated for e-business producing 99% of all our print material in-house for years.

A few months ago, I started using Minuteman Press and found that the cost is about equal; the quality is higher; able to submit my literature in e-format and you store it so I can simply call in and obtain x number of copies for my immediate need(s); I don’t have to inventory or store the documents; I can make changes easily and the best of all is that it is “On Demand” based on my needs & time frames–priceless!

As a Business Advisor, I am now recommending the same strategy to my customers across the MidWest. The mental image of having to order volumes at a time induced me to not even consider/pursue the “On Demand” custom service possibilities, like many others I am sure.

Beyond that, the staff is unbelievably great! Lori, Mark & Jim have been tremendously courteous and helpful! I have yet to walk in and not see a smile–priceless!
