District breaks ground for new middle school BY JOHN SCHAFFNER Publisher “Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow” was the theme for the official ground breaking last week for Port Clinton’s new middle school. The event was held in front a large crowd of community leaders and current middle school students at the high school’s Performing Arts Center. The focus of the event was a history lesson on the buildings that have been part of Port Clinton

City Schools since 1872, starting with the construction of the Union School at the current site of the middle school and Jefferson Elementary. The current Middle School was built in 1922, when it served as Port Clinton High School from that time until 1963 when the new high school was built on South Jefferson Street. It was a fascinating chronology that ends with the passage of the $42 million bond issue that cre-

ated the funds to renovate Bataan School and build the new middle school on the northwest corner of the high school campus. “The history of Port Clinton City School District changed on November 2, 2009, when the Port Clinton Community supported a bond issue to provide new school facilities to the students of Port Clinton,” said School Superintendent Pat Adkins. “Today we break

Our forefathers would be proud the building educated children for 90 years. Now history repeats itself with another new building to replace an educationally outdated school building” Adkins gave credit to the members of the Port Clinton Board of Education as well as his predecessor, Dennis Rectenwald, who Adkins said had the original vision for new buildings in the district.

Another aspect of the history lesson was an address by Bob Polochek, a teacher and middle school athletic director at the school since 1974. He admitted that he felt this day would never come, and when previous levies had failed he and many of his colleagues believed they would finish their careers at the old school on Fourth Street. Polochek also recognized the three generations of the family of John Rich who he had taught at the school.

Update from City Hall To the residents and guests of Port Clinton: It is time for another update on the happenings of our city. It seems that the April showers came in like a vengeance, and did not want to leave. Actually, we have had 7.8 inches of rain in April, and 7.33 inches in May, with a total so far this year of 23 inches, putting all of us behind in our work at home and here in the city. But, we are trying very hard to get caught up. Our Property Maintenance Inspector, Kent Johnson, has been very busy with many complaints and is making great progress. Along with the junk notices from the Police Department, most residents are complying. Projects throughout the city: • Perry Street resurfacing is complete. Remember the speed limit: it is still 35 mph. • Ohio Edison is replacing telephone poles in areas around the community. • Work is being continued on the Port Clinton Master Plan. • Beautification of the down-

town has taken place with flags, benches, planters and flowers. The planters along Second Street will be ordered soon. • Water breaks have been addressed and will continue to be repaired as necessary. • Even though, due to storms, fishing with the seniors was a little scary this year, fishing with the Port Clinton Middle School students, Troy Diels and Conrad Marsili from Kidsville News was a lot more calm. We all want to thank Sassy Sal Charters, Kroger and Community Market for their contributions for these special trips. • Columbia Gas is replacing 207 lateral lines and removing 112 meters from the inside to the outside of residences. • Mowing continues in our parks and cemeteries. • Punch items on the Third Street project continues. • The Second Street project was on hold due to the Walleye Festival preparations, but it is back in progress now. The boulevard trees will be removed in order to

move the waterline to the boulevard. • Clean-up continues in the downtown, cemeteries, Waterworks Park and the East and West ends. • The Waterworks fountain is working, but a small leak will be addressed soon, along with the lights. Also, I would like to commend everyone at Lakeview Estates, the Port Clinton Fire and Police Departments and the Red Cross on their cooperation during the Lakeview Estates’ fire. Those men and women, plus donations of time, money and shelter, certainly show the compassion of the citizens in our community. During the Memorial Day weekend, the Main Street Walleye Festival Committee and volunteers had several challenges to overcome, but all of their hard work paid off, keeping the festival open for our community and guests to enjoy. In addition, the 9-11 Memorial at Knights of Columbus was a wonderful addition to our Memorial weekend, a

Work begins soon on Tri-Motor museum The contract to build the new Tri-Motor Heritage Foundation museum facility was awarded to Janotta & Herner Inc., an employee-owned company based in Monroeville. This new 36,000-squarefoot facility will be located at the Erie-Ottawa Regional Airport in Port Clinton. Construction will begin soon and is slated for completion by the end of the year. Funding for the museum project was received through a private grant from the George V. Woodling Jr. Foundation. “It’s important to preserve the history of the Ford TriMotors, especially given its crucial role in local transportation to and from the Lake Erie islands,” said Ed Patrick, chairman of the George V. Woodling Jr. Foundation board. The new facility will include a dedicated Ford Tri-Motor museum, a classroom/conference room for educational programs & meetings, large hangar, gift shop and a fully restored, working vintage diner. Volunteers from EAA Tin Goose Chapter 1247 and the Tri-Motor Heritage Foundation have been working more than seven years on the ground-up restoration of their 1929 Ford Tri-Motor aircraft and are thrilled their project will have a new home to showcase their work to the public. “After all these years, this will be a fine place to display our volunteers’ efforts as well as historic items relating to the Ford Tri-Motor and its importance to this area,” said Warren Cermak, restoration Project Manager. “Work will not end with the construction of this building. We’ll need help from everyone to keep the museum going.” To that end, the George V. Woodling Jr. Foundation has also issued a Challenge Grant which will match $2 for each $1 in donations raised by the Tri-Motor Heritage Foundation and EAA “Tin Goose” Chapter 1247 through the end of 2011. “Being a 501(c)3 organization, ongoing expenses are raised solely through private donations,” said Tri-Motor Heritage Foundation board President Jody Brausch. “This Challenge Grant is a great opportunity for us to raise funds to help with the completion of our Ford Tri-Motor restoration.” Donations can be made online at www.TrimotorHeritageFoundation.org or by mailing a check to: Tri-Motor Heritage Foundation, 3575 E. Oak Lake Drive, Port Clinton, OH 43452.

Women for Memorial Day Ceremonies and the flags they put throughout our community. We here at City Hall wish everyone a good and safe summer, with patience during the construction seen throughout our community. Sincerely, Mayor Tester

WALLEYE FESTIVAL Hospice honors Winners announced for Kids Fishing Derby veterans with escort ceremony Stein Hospice’s escort ceremony to honor deceased veterans has received praise from families and inquires from hospices across the country interested in duplicating it. The ceremony, held for patients who die at Stein’s Care Center in Sandusky, is simple yet meaningful. The patient’s body is covered with a U.S. flag and escorted to the elevator by trained staff and volunteers. Family members are invited to join the procession. As the flag is folded, Veterans in the procession salute while others place their hand over their heart. Since March, the ceremony has been conducted for about 20 Veterans and their families. “It was awesome and very respectful,” said Marilyn Beckman, whose husband Don died at the Care Center in March. Don was a U.S. Army Veteran who served in the Korean War and was very proud of his military service, Marilyn said. A couple weeks later, hospice patient John Myers watched the military escort of another deceased veteran. “That’s a great honor,” the U.S. Air Force veteran told his wife Donna. An escort ceremony for John was held two days later. “It really was the highest military honor you can give a military person,” Donna said, her eyes filling with tears. Stein’s commitment to serve veteran patients is longstanding and varied. Since the mid-1990s, Stein has been caring for patients at the Ohio Veterans Home in Sandusky. Any Veteran who dies at the Veterans Home receives an escort and Stein’s on-site staff participates in those ceremonies. In January, Stein opened a hospice unit in Ohio’s other Veterans Home, located in Georgetown. Under the heading “PeaceWorks, hope and healing for Veterans,” Stein offers a number of services to Veteran patients, including a pinning ceremony and a mental health therapy especially beneficial for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. Stein is also a partner in “We Honor Veterans,” a national initiative launched last year by the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization, in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. The program helps hospice professionals meet the special needs of dying Veterans and their families through education, training and activities. Its web site, www.wehonorveterans.org, also promotes best practices, such as Stein’s escort ceremony.

New services available for post-9/11 vets and caregivers Post-9/11 veterans and their families are now eligible for additional services under the Caregiver and Veterans Omnibus Health Services Act, according to U.S. Rep. Marcy Kaptur. These services are meant to help eligible post-9/11 veterans who elect to receive their care in a home setting from a primary family caregiver. Kaptur said the Department of Veteran Affairs is now accepting applications for caregiver services, which include a stipend, mental health services and access to health care insurance if they are not already entitled to care or services under a health plan. “We know the need is great among our veterans,” said Kaptur. “Now there is additional help available to families who are trying to meet their challenge of care for their loved ones.” Services that are available under the program include: • In-Home and Community Based Care: skilled home health care, homemaker home health aide services, adult day health care and home-based primary care. • Respite Care: relief for the family caregiver from the constant challenge of caring for a chronically ill or dis-

abled veteran at home, including in-home care, a short stay in one of VA’s community living centers or an environment designed for adult day health care. • Caregiver education and training programs: opportunities that include pre-discharge care instruction and specialized caregiver programs in severe traumas such as Traumatic Brain Injury, Spinal Cord Injury/Disorders, and Blind Rehabilitation. • Caregiver support groups: family counseling, spiritual and pastoral care, family leisure and recreational activities, and temporary lodging in Fisher Houses, as well as support in a face to face setting or by telephone. • Other services: durable medical equipment and prosthetic and sensory aides to improve function, financial assistance with home modification to improve access and mobility, and transportation assistance for some veterans to and from medical appointments. Kaptur urged veterans who need assistance to apply at www.caregiver.va.gov or call her office at 419-259-7000 or toll free 800-964-4699.

Pioneer, Primitive Arts Festival this weekend The Ohio Atlatl Association is coming back to Fort Firelands for the fifth annual Pioneer and Primitive Arts Festival from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. June 11-12. This Ohio Atlatl Association-sanctioned event offers children and adults the rare opportunity to try their hand at this ancient weapon. Used by the Paleo hunter 12,000 years ago, the atlatl is a device for throwing 6- to 7-foot darts that look like giant arrows. The atlatl is the first known compound weapon system and it supplied sufficient power to bring down mammoth, cave bear and other large game. If you have never seen or tried the atlatl you are in for an exciting experience. In addition, a host of independent re-

enactors will be setting up a pioneer camp inside the Fort. Authentic dress and methods will convey “the way it was” on the early frontier. Musicians, tomahawk throwing and other demonstrations will be happening throughout both days. Flint Knappers will demonstrate the art of arrowhead and knife making while period vendors sell old-time wares. Located at Fort Firelands RV Resort at 5650 E. Harbor Road, this event is free to the public. Along with the onsite restaurant, flea market and shops, the tenants of Fort Firelands will be having a park-wide yard sale from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, June 11. They will be set up in the flea market.

The condition we call “burn out” is pretty familiar and it’s not fun. If you’re so sick of doing something that you want to quit doing it, no matter the consequences, you are burned out. Often, you are very good at what you do. The expectation is you will keep getting even better, especially if you work harder. We’re seeing an epidemic of burned out kids in youth sports. Burn out is always a result of too much pressure. Dr. Jim Loehr, a leading sports psychologist, describes it as a “consequence of excessive stress, either physical or emotional.” It’s a familiar cycle. A child shows interest and skill in a sport. They grow to love it. Parents are supportive and do everything in their power to provide encouragement and opportunities for improvement. Success follows and people begin to talk about college scholarships and the possibility of a professional career. Then the kid quits. What just happened here? Why the burn out? There are lots of causes, but when a sport becomes a job, it’s

not much fun anymore. When success gets harder to obtain (and it does at higher levels of competition), pressure to work harder increases. More work and more pressure lead to less fun and less fulfillment for the child. Pressure causes stress! Stress causes poor performance. Some parents are so disappointed about the child wanting to quit that they inflict emotional scars as they respond to the situation. They see pushing their child to work harder as being the solution rather than one of the causes of the child’s quitting. Teens who quit usually cite three reasons for their decision: playing the sport is not fun any more, it takes too much time and commitment and third, they are missing all the things the other kids are doing. They get tired, isolated and resentful. They may still be very good at what they do, but they begin to hate it because the emotional cost is too high. How can we help? Parents and coaches should be alert for symptoms. Notice loss of interest and a resistance to practice.

There will be plateaus and times when learning new skills cause setbacks. Performance often gets worse before it gets better. These will be tough times. Punishment or disapproval will not help. Listen to what the kids say. Respect their opinions. Yes, once they make a commitment, they should keep it. But, give them a choice about making the commitment. Keep a healthy perspective about the importance of building a star versus raising a healthy child. Sometimes, it’s the players themselves that cause the pressure. Insist they take some time off. Encourage them to play another sport. Build other activities into their schedule. The very best thing we can do to prevent burn out is to make sure the kids know we love them and will be proud of them for who they are and not what they are. That’s burn out prevention. nnn

Anger and irritability are seen during competition and at home. Making excuses for a bad performance is common as is blaming someone or something else (referees or windy conditions). Injuries, real or imagined, are a good way to get out of playing a sport. Watch for a pattern. Quitting during competition is a symptom. This isn’t actual forfeiting; it shows up as a lack of focus or care about the outcome. Showing anger is a warning flag, especially if it has not been an issue before. The player may ignore team rules. When disciplined, the player can then go off in a huff or quit the team altogether. What should we do? Our job is to support kids but not to use them for our own egos. We can be so sure we are doing the right thing that it gets very hard to take a step back and try to find out what is happening. We must reduce the pressure to win; not add to it! Establishing goals other than winning is a big step. We must recognize improvement is not a straight line.

COMMODORE PERRY

Ribbon cutting ceremony set for credit union Commodore Perry Federal Credit Union will have a grand opening at its newest building at 1016 S. Ohio 19 in Oak Harbor. Members and non-members are invited to a ribbon cutting ceremony at 8:30 a.m. June 17. Commodore Perry has been doing business in Ottawa County since 1975. Paul Calhoun moved to the area and was looking for a credit union, but none were available to him, so Paul decided to create his own. What started as a shoe box in Paul’s desk drawer has become much more, but the local feel and personal relationship with its members remains. There are two branches: the newly rebuilt location in Oak Harbor, and our branch in Port Clinton on Ohio 53. Come see for yourself. The offices are open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and 9 a.m. to noon Saturday with the drive-through opening at 8:30 a.m. Mondays and Fridays. For information, visit www. commodoreperryfcu.com.

Financial Focus

Make the right moves with inherited stocks

When you inherit a sizable amount of stocks, your overall financial picture can change significantly. But to make the most of your inheritance, you need to decide what to do with your new stocks. Should you keep them or sell them? Before you can answer this question, you need to review several factors, including the following: • Diversification — You’ll need to determine if an inherited stock adds to your overall portfolio diversification. Do you already have other, similar stocks in your portfolio? If so, you might want to sell the stock and use the money for a new investment opportunity. Conversely, if you don’t own anything similar to the inherited stock, and it can help your diversify, it may well be worth keeping. While diversification, by itself, cannot guarantee a profit or protect against loss, it can help reduce the effects of market volatility. • Fundamentals — It’s a good idea to closely scrutinize any stocks you inherited. Do they represent companies with strong management teams,

good track records and competitive products or services? Or, as is sometimes the case, did your benefactor simply keep these stocks because he or she had some type of attachment to them? You’ll want to own quality stocks for the right reasons. • Risk tolerance — An inherited stock may be either too aggressive or too conservative for your preferences. If the stock doesn’t fit within your risk tolerance, sell it and buy an investment that does. • Taxes — When you inherit stocks, they are generally valued at their market value on the day your benefactor died, not the date of the original purchase. For example, if you inherit stock that your father bought for $20 a share, and it’s worth $75 a share on the day he dies, your “cost basis” would be $75 a share. If you sell the stock right away, you’ll likely owe little or no income taxes. If the price of the inherited stock goes up before you sell it, you’ll pay capital gains tax on the difference between $75 and the sale price, at a maximum rate of 15% (at least for 2011 and 2012), no matter how long

you’ve held the stock. This is advantageous for you; typically, if you sell an appreciated stock that you’ve held less than a year, you’d have to pay capital gains taxes at your normal income tax rate. If you inherit stocks as part of a traditional Individual Retirement Account (IRA), you’ll probably have to pay taxes on withdrawals at your income tax rate. However, you may be able to spread withdrawals over your lifetime, which could result in more tax-deferred growth and a greater income stream. And if you inherit a Roth IRA, you won’t have to pay income taxes on any withdrawals, provided the Roth IRA account has been open for at least five years. If you need help in determining what to do with inherited stocks, consult with your financial advisor and tax professional. After all, you are acquiring an important asset — and you want to make this asset work for you. nnn

TERRA COMMUNTY COLLEGE

Local among profs granted emerita status Two retired faculty members have received the designation of professor emerita from the Terra Community College Board of Trustees. Carol Strebar, of Port Clinton, and Norma Worley, of Columbus, were giv- STREBAR en the honorary title in recognition of their outstanding service. The honor is reserved for a full-time employee who has served continuously at Terra for at least 15 years. “In Carol and Norma, we have two powerhouses in the history of Terra,” said Dr. Marsha S. Bordner, president of Terra. Strebar became a full-time faculty member in 1983. She developed the Intervention, Advocacy and Counseling Program and worked closely with the law enforcement faculty to ensure appropriate course-

work and experiences for students. Later, she developed the social work technology program. After the college converted from a technical college to a community college, she completed a master’s of psychology and became an instructor in that discipline. Once again, Strebar enhanced the curriculum, engaged with the community and garnered the respect of students, staff and community members alike. Strebar always expected the best from her students and was usually rewarded with just that. For example, in 2003, five of her students received national recognition for their submission of a service-learning project about homelessness. They took third place in the competition sponsored by the American Psychological Association. Strebar received the Excellence in Teaching award in 1992, Instructor of the Year in 2000 and the Circle of Excellence in Teaching award in 2008.

AGRICULTURE n CLASSIFIEDS

The Beacon

Funds to restore lakes available to Lake Erie Watershed Farmers Farmers in the Western Lake Erie Basin have the chance to sign up for a special program to improve water quality in the Great Lakes. The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Natural Resources Conservation Service will pay a portion of the cost of conservation practices that keep sediment and nutrients on the land and out of the Lake. “Impacts on Lake Erie water quality from harmful algal

blooms and excessive sedimentation are a real issue to Ohio residents,” says Terry Cosby, NRCS State Conservationist. “Water in the Lake Erie watershed provides drinking water for 11 million people. Over $10 billion is spent on recreation and tourism in the Lake Erie region every year.” The Great Lakes Restoration Initiative funding will be available to Ohio farmers through

existing NRCS conservation programs, including the Environmental Quality Incentives Program and the Wildlife Habitat Incentives Program. Through these programs, landowners receive technical and financial assistance to implement conservation activities on their land that conserve soil, water, air And wildlife resources. The deadline to sign-up for GLRI conservation programs is July 1.

Applications from farmers in the Blanchard, Lower Maumee, Upper Auglaize, Cedar-Portage, and Sandusky sub-watersheds will receive priority consideration for Great Lakes Restoration Initiative funding. Farmers in the St. Marys, Ottawa, St. Joseph, Tiffin and Upper Maumee watersheds may also apply. The counties in Ohio that have land in all or part of these watersheds include: Allen, Auglaize, Crawford, Defiance,

Erie, Fulton, Hancock, Hardin, Henry, Huron, Lucas, Marion, Mercer, Ottawa, Paulding, Putnam, Richland, Sandusky, Seneca, Shelby, Van Wert, Williams, Wood and Wyandot. Maps of the areas eligible for GLRI funding are posted on the Ohio NRCS web site at www. oh.nrcs.usda.gov/. Information is also available at the local NRCS office in Oak Harbor at 419-898-6431.
