Partying for a cause

2011 HARVEST FESTIVAL Signs of the season filled Madison Street as vendors sold mums, painted pumpkins, crafts and more during Port Clinton’s Harvest Festival. The event, held Friday through Sunday, is just the beginning of the area’s fall festival season.

Local stars to dance for CASA Co-hosts Debra HymoreTester and Kami Sayre announced today the line-up of stars for the fourth annual “Ottawa County Casa Dances with the Stars” fundraising event. Stars dancing this year will be Lori Clune, court administrator for Ottawa County Juvenile and Probate court, with Hank Fox of Class A Performing Arts; Wendy Eller, Chief Operating Officer of Lakeside Association, with Timothy Nyman of

Black Tie Dance Studio; Tracy Gaines, Walker Family Funeral Homes, with Mary Ann Snider of The Ballet School; Brenda Murphy, principal, Genoa Elementary School, with Craig Olzsewski of Black Tie Dance Studio; and Dr. Jim Rumbarger with Annessia Nyman of Black Tie Dance Studio. The teams will be battling it out on the dance floor to raise funds for CASA, a program that provides advocacy for abused and neglected chil-

dren here in Ottawa County. The event will be held at The Ottawa County Fairgrounds on Nov. 5. The doors will open at 7 p.m. and the dancing will begin at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $30 each and include hors d’oeuvres and a cash bar will be available. To purchase tickets contact the CASA office at 419-301-0225 or tickets will be available at The National Bank of Ohio, Oak Harbor, and Port Clinton offices beginning Oct. 1.

This year’s event will be co-hosted by the Honorable Kathleen Giesler and Chief Bob Bratton. D.J. Jerry Wittman of the band Legacy II will spin the tunes for the evening. There will be special performances by local dancers, a silent auction and raffles. As always, a sold out show is expected. This will be an evening filled with fun and surprises while supporting the most vulnerable children in our community.

Some businesses in downtown Port Clinton are getting together to throw a block party Oct. 1. The event — featuring entertainment, food and more — will benefit Champions for Children, Port Clinton’s after-school program for kids in kindergarten through sixth grade. Captain Howdy (Jerry Baum), the Harmonica Man and Lenny Kromer have all donated their time to entertain the crowds gathering at from 5 to 9 p.m. along Second Street. There will be a chili cook-off in the Coffee Express parking lot and Focus Pointe will be on hand doing photographs with costumes for kids. Artwork will also be on display by Port Clinton High School students after art classes head down to the site Friday to decorate the sidewalk. Their work will be judged Friday evening. Businesses taking part include Coffee Express, Frederick Insurance, Second St. Gallery, Erie Cottage Trading Co, The End Zone, Captain Howdy and Dupps Printing. “I think what is most exciting about it, is that during a tough economy we have some industrious small business owners that are not sitting around just complaining about lack of business, but throwing a party to bring in business and support a great local organization like Champions at the same time,” said Lori Madison, who owns Frederick Insurance with her husband John.

Sheriff hopefuls to speak out The Ottawa County Democratic Party Central Committee will meet at 7 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 29, to discuss the appointment of a Sheriff for Ottawa County. Qualified candidates will be given an opportunity to speak and tell the group why they should be selected to fill the sheriff ’s position. This meeting — held in the activities room of the Riverview Nursing Home complex on Ohio 163 between Oak Harbor and Port Clinton — is open to the public and there will be time available for attendees to address the gathering. Only Democratic Central Committee members may vote on this appointment.

OTTAWA & HENRY COUNTIES

Boards of DD to share superintendent The Henry and Ottawa County Boards of Developmental Disabilities recently passed resolutions authorizing board presidents Char Zgela (Henry) and Terry Fejes (Ottawa) to enter into contract negotiations for the purpose of sharing a superintendent for the next two years. If negotiations are successful, Ottawa County Superintendent Melinda Slusser would divide her time equally between the two boards as each SLUSSER seeks to reduce its costs and improve overall efficiency. “We see this as an incredible opportunity to continue providing our residents with high-quality services while reducing costs in the long run,” said Zgela, Henry County board president. “Melinda has impressed us with her management abilities and we

believe she will bring many new and exciting ideas to the Henry County Board of Developmental Disabilities as superintendent.” Ottawa County Board of DD president Fejes echoed Zgela’s sentiments: “Melinda has been an asset to our board over the past two years, and we’re pleased that we can partner with our friends in Henry County to share her abilities while reducing our own expenses. It’s truly a win-win situation for both of us.” Slusser has 26 years experience in the field of developmental disabilities, including more than two years as Ottawa County superintendent. She holds a master’s degree from Bowling Green State University and is also graduate of the University of Toledo College of Law. “I see great things ahead under this arrangement for both county boards,” Slusser said. “I am grateful for this opportunity as well as to both the Henry and Ottawa County Boards of DD for their faith in my

abilities.” Slusser’s dual role would be a first for both county boards, though other counties in Ohio have already entered into successful arrangements with shared superintendents. Currently, Knox and Coshocton counties share a superintendent, as do Fairfield/Vinton, Shelby/Champaign and Belmont/Harrison/Noble counties. “Partnering with another county to share superintendent duties is an excellent way to increase the efficiency of a county board of DD,” said Monty Kerr, deputy director of policy and strategic direction for the Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities. Prior to joining the staff at DODD, Kerr held the position of shared superintendent for Belmont, Harrison and Noble counties in southeastern Ohio. “There are other benefits as well,” Kerr continued. “The ideas that can freely flow between each county with one shared administrator lead to more collaboration and better results for the people who are served.

Sponsors, participants sought for Take Back the Night resource fair Citizens of Ottawa County will gather at Oak Harbor High School Auditorium on Thursday, Oct. 20, for the third annual Take Back The Night March and Rally to call for an end to domestic violence. The event will include a community rally with various speakers, a march to the Oak Harbor Middle School, a candle lighting ceremony and a survivor speak out. This year’s rally will also include a Resource Fair, an opportunity for social service agencies to display brochures and information on services they provide to our community. Any social service agency or non-profit organization is invited to participate in this fair free of charge. To register for the event, contact Sheila Powell at 419-366-7420. The host and benefactor of the event is Joyful Connections, a su-

pervised visitation and exchange site located at 8200 W. Ohio 163 in Oak Harbor. Joyful Connections is looking for individuals, businesses and organizations to sponsor this event and all proceeds will go toward operating expenses for the site. We are asking for your support to not only take a stand against domestic violence but to also support the children who benefit from our services. Joyful Connections provides a safe and secure home-like environment where children can visit with parents and family members in a non-judgmental setting. Sponsorships of $50 or more will include the name of the individual, business, agency or organization on our event T-shirts and future advertisements. For information, contact Corrine

Creeden at 419-734-3266 or Karen Demangos at 567-262-3181. Take Back The Night events are held in communities around the world. This year’s event will focus on educating our youth and their families on the affects that domestic violence has on our community and to let them know that help is available. “The goal of TBTN is to not only raise awareness about violence against women and domestic violence but to empower women and give voice to their collective experience and help them to reclaim their right to be safe and free from violence,” said Creeden, Take Back the Night committee chairwoman. “This event is about supporting survivors, remembering victims and emphasizing that domestic violence has no place in our community.”

Republican Women’s fall mixer The Ottawa Co Republican Woman’s Club will hold its fall event at 5 p.m. Monday, Oct. 10, at the Island House on Madison Street in Port Clinton. The mixer will feature hors d’oeuvres and a cash bar with friends, co-workers and neighbors interested in good political conversation and with in-the-know Republican office-holders.

Several will be speaking starting at 6 p.m., among them State Sen. Mark Wagoner and others with briefings from around Ohio and possibly Washington. This is not just a gathering of women, but also men and teens, voters and potential voters who want to hear more of potential ideas of the Republican Party. As always, no membership in the club is necessary

Reservations are suggested and preferred. Send your check by Wednesday, Oct. 5, for $15 per person payable to Betty Jo Sherman, Treasurer, OCRW, to her at 19380 W Arthzheim Lane, Elmore OH 43416 (phone: 419862-2180) or your can make your reservation at the Island House with your check. For late reservations or questions call Joyce Murphy at 419734-3459.

We foresee great potential in this partnership.” Zgela said that the idea for sharing a superintendent came from Dan Ohler, executive director of the Ohio Association of County Boards of Developmental Disabilities, a state association that serves all of the state’s 88 county boards of DD as a professional trade group. “This partnership is a prime example of how county boards are willing and able to make sure their core mission is achieved in tough financial times. They are to be commended for making this proposal become a reality,” Ohler said. While details of the contract have not been finalized, both counties will expect to see a significant drop in expenses as Slusser’s employment costs are shared between them. The Henry and Ottawa county boards will maintain their own personnel and programs and continue to operate as separate government entities under the agreement.

Deadline approaches for fish sale Pond owners still have an opportunity to stock your pond with fish through the Ottawa Soil and Water Conservation District’s program until Friday, Sept. 30. The fish are supplied by Fender’s Fish Hatchery, Baltic. The tank truck, with aerator, will distribute the ordered fish on Thursday, Oct. 6, in the afternoon. Fish available are: Bluegill, Channel Catfish, Fathead Minnows, Largemouth Bass, Redear Sunfish and White Amur. White Amur (more commonly known as “Grass Carp”) are members of the minnow family reported to attain weights in excess of 100 pounds and to live up to 15 years. They bear little resemblance to the common carp. Although cultured in Asia as a source of food, the sterile

White Amur is primarily used in the United States to control aquatic vegetation. Leafy, rooted aquatic plants, such as pondweed and coontail, are the preferred food of these fish. Lacking these, they will consume floating duckweed, green algae and even cattails. All fish must be pre-ordered and pre-paid. To receive an order form, call the office at 419-898-1595 or stop in at 240 W. Lake St., Oak Harbor. Deadline for ordering is Friday, Sept. 30. Pick-up will be Thursday, Oct. 6, at our office located on Lake Street in Oak Harbor.

At the same time, I encourage you to carry forward this enthusiasm to meet the challenges that will face the Knights of Columbus in the years ahead. May this award be a reminder and an inspiration to the members of your council to continue to promote the ideals

of Columbianism for the good of the Church, your community, and the Order.” In accepting the award, Grand Knight Tim Kuhn said: “Receiving this award is quite an honor. We’re very pleased with this accomplishment.” The Knights of Columbus is the world’s largest Catholic lay organization. It provides members

and their families with volunteer opportunities in service to the Catholic Church, their communities, families and young people. With more than 1.8 million members in more than 14,000 councils around the world, the Knights of Columbus annually donated more than $154 million and 70 million hours of service to charitable causes.

TV collection Saturday at Ottawa County fairgrounds The Ottawa, Sandusky, Seneca Joint Solid Waste District is sponsoring a Television & Small Electronics recycling collection Saturday, Oct. 1. 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. to noon 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 the electronics recycler. To determine the size of your television, measure your screen diagonally from corner to corner. Fees are as follows: $2 for TVs 24” and smaller; $3 for TVs 25” and larger; $5 for all console units and projection screen TVs (limit two per resident). Additional materials that

will be accepted at no charge include small electronics (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 non-leaded glass materials will be recycled. Only wood and fabric 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. Questions regarding the television recycling collection may be directed to the OSS Solid Waste District Office toll free at 888850-7224. Information is also available on the District’s website www.recycleoss.org. For general recycling information, collections or events, log onto the OSS Solid Waste District’s website at www.recycleoss. org.

With so much happening in our lives, it’s easy to lose sight of the future – like retirement. Edward Jones can help make saving for retirement easier with our monthly IRA investing program. This simple, convenient service puts your retirement investing on “autopilot” by letting you put aside a set amount every month into an Edward Jones IRA. You can even set it up so that the money comes automatically from any account you choose. A systematic investment plan does not assure a profit and does not protect against loss in a declining market. Such a plan involves continuous investment in securities regardless of fluctuating price levels of such securities, the investor should consider the financial ability to continue the purchases through periods of low price levels.

For more information or to enroll in our monthly IRA investing program, call your local Edward Jones financial advisor today.

Cameron Confidential: North Coast brands are being bought, sold, and traded lately as vintners struggle to stay ahead of their obligations. The wines we sourced from this deal make up a considerable part of the repositioning of a particular ultra-premium Zinfandel and Zin-based blend producer that was sold a year or so ago. As part of the deal one of the brands was discontinued altogether and we purchased all of those wines and others from the flagship brand as they sought to maintain the high-dollar price point by reducing inventory. This is a classic deal for Cameron Hughes Wine but it’s also a one-time deal as they severely cut back the 2010 contracts, so grab what you can of these incredible values.

PCHS students Brittany Carstensen (right), Amanda Santoya, Mariah McCoy, Hunter Yarbrough sign to accept Rachel’s Challenge

Chain reaction of kindness Port Clinton Middle School and High School students accepted Rachel’s Challenge last week after hearing an inspirational message about kindness and compassion. The message left by Rachel Scott, the first person killed in the Columbine High School Tragedy in 1999, was to create a chain reaction of kindness. Students signed a banner after the presentation to accept this challenge and to treat others with kindness, by doing so they may change the world we live in. The program does not end with the oneday assembly, both the middle and high school had training sessions with students on how to create a Friends of Rachel Club. Students in the FOR Club have plans on how to increase membership, activities

to maintain the chain reaction of kindness and how to implement the challenge throughout the school. Seventy PCMS students attended the training as well as more than 100 high school students. Approximately 400 parents and members of the community attended the presentation last Wednesday evening to hear Rachel’s message. “The chain reaction started at Port Clinton High School and Middle School as a result of Rachel’s Challenge has been very powerful and refreshing,” said Pat Adkins, superintendent of Port Clinton City Schools. “It’s great to see our students accept such a strong message and vow to start a chain reaction of kindness, compassion and character.”

Reunion news SOH Classes of 1947 & 1948

On Saturday, Sept. 17, members of the Salem-Oak Harbor classes of 1947 and 1948 combined to celebrate their 64th and 63rd reunions respectively. A social hour preceded the swiss steak/chicken dinner held at the Elmore American Legion. Dave Martin, whose first year of teaching was with the class of ’48, was present, and on behalf of the late Les Sprouse presented a “Best Athlete” award to Dick Fought. Regrets had been phoned by former teacher Mary Ellen Clayton. Also remembered was former teacher Earl Johnson who had celebrated his 100th birthday earlier this year. Communications were read from Barb Sprouse and Emil Harrold from the class of ’48 and Randy Buchman, Joan (Mylander) Gehle and Rev. Ray Wolf from the class of ’47. Willys Zibbel, who also graduated with this class following his return from military service, phoned his regrets. Classmates attending from the class of ’47 were: Helen (Beier) Pfeiffer, Athalee

Blausey/Orhell Starkey, Robert/Delores Buhro, Jack Kemp, Zella (Schiller) Fought and Marvin Tabbert. From the class of ’48 were Elroy/Nancy (Baumgartner) Buehler, Max/Carol Drier, Jim/Faye Fastzkie, Richard Fought, Shirley (Fought) Missig, Frank Gluth, Marjorie (Hameister) Fillmore, Mary Loy (Heinsen) Houle, Wesley/Joyce Hoffman, Edna Mae (Hoplite)/Bob Hollar, Dale/Bea Kline, Eileen (Schutte) Hasselbach, Delores (Wainwright)/Oscar Schmid and Marilyn (Zibbel) Applehans. A short program was provided by a representative from the Tri Motor Heritage Foundation, a group working to assemble and maintain a Tin Goose airplane to be featured in a museum at the local airport. A yellow mum plant was presented to Frank and Deanna Gluth who celebrated their 50th anniversary the day before. The committee planning the reunion were Eileen Hasselbach, Dale Kline, Helen Pfeiffer and Robert Buhrow.

In honor of National Rehabilitation Week, Edgewood Manor hosted a luncheon and presentation to celebrate the residents who successfully completed their therapy program and were able to return home. The program was attended by nearly 60 past residents, their family members and the community. Physical Therapist Jason Geretz and Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant Joe Kovach welcomed the group by discussing the benefits of therapy and the various programs that Edgewood offers. It was also a time for the previous residents to thank the staff for helping them return home. “There is such a misconception about what we do,” said Carrie McGlothlin, marketing director at Edgewood Manor. “In the past, nursing facilities were a place for a loved one to spend the last years of their lives, when they could no longer be cared for at home. We know people would prefer to be in their own home, but sometimes that is not possible. So we educate them and give them the strength and skills they need to safely return to their home. Now we have an entire program designed for short-term rehabilitation, our Homeward Bound program. We helped 76 community members return to their home last year and are on target to help even more this year.” In addition to shortterm rehabilitation stays, Edgewood Manor also provides long-term care, respite care and outpatient therapy services. “We are in the process of opening a new outpatient therapy gym. It will enable our therapy team to work on wider range of conditions for the community to utilize on an outpatient basis,” added McGlothlin. Edgewood Manor is located at 1330 S. Fulton St., Port Clinton. To tour the facility, call 419-734-5506 or stop in anytime.

Sandwich Generation facing new challenges • THE SANDWICH GENERATION — It has become increasingly apparent that the average middle aged client has a real problem. While they are concerning themselves with their upcoming retirement, the reality has come to their attention that they are responsible for their children and also their parents. With parents living much longer and children wanting to keep ahead of the curve, the demands on the middle class have tripled. • THE MIDDLE CLASS—I had a client tell me that his mother moved into his house 15 years ago because she had one year to live. Thanks to modern medicine she is still there. This same client has three college bound children. He wants the best for all but the pie is only so big. He is part of the sandwiched generation. If he were rich there would be no problem. There would be plenty of money and his parents would probably have the same amount. If he were poor, the children would have many need based scholarships and loans available and the parents would be on Medicaid. It is that middle class that has the problem .They have too much money for assistance and not enough to provide for the needs of three generations. • WHO ARE BABY BOOMERS?—They are that group of individuals born from 1946 to 1965. They are the first generation to be influenced by television. They appear to be financially better than their parents and luckier than their children. This generation may have planned for their

children and themselves but the financial status of the parents present a real source of concern. • KIDS—The parents are being asked to insure their children’s education and preparedness for life. Not only is a college education not enough, but children expect to go to the best school at the best location. Even if the kids do not feel that way, the parents feel the peer pressure to see that their children have everything that their neighbor’s children or their siblings’ children have. Historically, a child stayed close to home and worked in the same factory as his father. Today, that factory may not exist. Communication, television and the internet has broadened the child’s horizons. He is not afraid to travel four states away since he can report home each evening via the internet. Many children expect parents to provide all that is necessary to insure that they have the latest and greatest. Children today are more aware of the importance of education and want to take advantage of what the world has to offer. • IDEAS—529 plans or other long term savings plans are great for the young child. If your child is now in college, a student loan is not a sin. Unsubsidized loans such as a Pell Grant allow the child to be involved and appreciate the value of doing well. Let the child select the college and split the cost. Any scholarship comes off his share. Have the children realize early in

high school that this will be a joint effort. • PARENTS—Along with advances in science and medicine comes longevity. Parents easily live to ninety and above. The problem is that their pensions and savings were based on 1960 numbers. Many are simply running out of money. Years ago, it was expected to have the parents move into the child’s home for the last two years of their life. Today, neither the parent nor the child wants to take this course of action. Parents more than children want their independence. With siblings, major problems are created between the expected caretaker and the child that is just too busy. In the end the one that was too busy expects everything to be equal. We won’t even bring in the subject of the in-laws and their opinions. Much goes unspoken in the area of planning for the parent between brothers, sisters and their spouses until after the funeral. At that point many families are destroyed because the children did not approach the situation with reality and a joint effort. • IDEAS—Children should address this potential problem when their parents are in their sixties. At least be involved to take an inventory of their available assets and anticipated needs. Have frank discussions as to alternative future courses of action. You will meet resistance because this generation thinks you are after their money. This is where an experienced third party can ask the right questions and assist the

family in planning for the future. The purpose of this article is to make you aware that you are not alone on this subject. Children being proactive at an early stage with their parents are the correct approach.

Seniors chili cook-off Fall fun coming up at Vineyard coming up at Riverview As in the past two years, the Ottawa County Senior Activities Committee and the Ottawa County area skilled-care facilities are working together to hold the Ottawa County Seniors’ Chili & Soup Cook-Off from 4 to 7 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 1, at the Riverview Health Care Campus, Oak Harbor. Admission is $3. Judging is by people’s choice with guests sampling the chilis and soups to determine the winners. According to Dianne Mortensen, executive coordinator of Ottawa County Senior Resources, this event is made possible not only through the planning and hard work of the Senior Activities Committee but also through the generosity and sponsorship of the area skilled-care facilities such as Edgewood Manor Nursing Home, Riverview Healthcare Campus, Otterbein North Shore Retirement Community, Genoa Care Center and Home Instead Senior Care who provide the table service,

sloppy joes, treats and beverages as a compliment to the chilis and soups. “The seniors and the skilled-care facilities pull together on this one to produce an event that is enjoyable and entertaining with a bit of spicy competition and lots of flavor,” she said. Ottawa County residents age 55 or older still have time to enter their crock pot of chili and/or soup or to sign up to attend the cook-off by calling Ottawa County Senior Resources at 419877-898-6459. A 50-50 raffle, music by DJ Songbusters and a special performance by the Buckeye Squares Square Dance Club will round out this year’s event.

OH junior wins third SBC championship Oak Harbor junior Ashley LaFountain recently won her third consecutive Sandusky Bay Conference Tennis Singles Championship. The tournament was held at Perkins High

School and she dominated from start to finish. LaFountain was also named the SBC’s Most Outstanding Performer for the third straight year.

It was a tough night for Redskin quarterback Addison Rospert against the relentless Oak Harbor defense.

Rockets top Redskins By JOHN SCHAFFNER Publisher The Oak Harbor Rockets controlled the football and the game claiming a 28-7 victory over their rivals from Port Clinton last Friday night. Mark Konieczny rolled up 252 yards on 43 carries as the Rockets running game simply wore down the Redskin defense and kept the Port Clinton offense standing on the sideline. “Give Oak Harbor all the credit,” said Port Clinton Coach Toby Hammond on Monday. “They played better than we did. We didn’t get off blocks very well and gave up some big pass plays. But our offense really didn’t help the cause either.” The Redskins actually took a 7-6 lead following Oak Harbor’s first touchdown, a 10-yard toss from Brian Mallernee to Austin

Wiegand. Following the ensuing kickoff, the Redskins drove the ball with their own 65-yard drive aided by an Oak Harbor pass interference call. Addison Rospert hit Steve Wingo for a 21-yard TD strike then added the extra point for a 7-6 Redskin lead. It didn’t last. The Rockets ground it out for 78 yards on their next possession to take control with a 4-yard Brian Mallernee run. It wasn’t all on the ground, as the big play came when Mallernee hit Wiegand for a big 57-yarder on that drive. The Rockets scored twice more in the second quarter to take a 28-7 lead into the locker room at halftime. That is how it ended. “They made plays, we didn’t” said Hammond. “We just didn’t execute as well as we can. Give Oak Harbor credit for that.” The Redskins hit the road Fri-

day night for a game at Margaretta. They begin their quest for their first winning season in a long time with a three game stretch against the Polar Bears, Sandusky St. Mary and Perkins, none of which are having stellar seasons. First up is Margaretta, who lost last Friday night to Clyde 54-7. “They are a young team, but will have a couple of injured guys coming back this week,” said Hammond. When asked if it is an advantage to playing a team the week after they play Clyde, coach answered: “Yes! Clyde is just so physical.” When asked about the upcoming schedule, he added: “I’m disappointed. I thought we closed the gap on some of these SBC teams. We have to play better on both sides of the ball to compete the last five weeks.”

HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL

Danbury falls to 3-2 with road loss to Edon By J. PATRICK EAKEN Editor Entering Danbury’s football game at Edon Friday night, the Lakers were 3-1 and eighth in the region in playoff points — good enough for a playoff position if Danbury could hold on until the end of the season. But Edon quarterback Keegan Long completed 11-of-17 passes for 178 yards and four touchdowns in a shootout as the home team defeated the Lakers 64-34. Danbury fell to 3-2 overall, 1-1 in the Toledo Area Athletic Conference while Edon improved to 2-3 and 1-1. Danbury senior quarterback Lucas Kennedy did his share of damage, too, completing 13-of-26 passes for 371 yards and four touchdowns, but it wasn’t enough as Edon pulled out to a 20-6 first quarter lead and 4320 halftime advantage. Kennedy also had two passes intercepted. The Lakers finished with 477 total yards, including 106 rushing, but it wasn’t enough. Danbury had 18 first downs, including 12 passing, five rushing, and one by penalty. Kennedy’s top receiver was Cory Shenk, who had six catches for 176 yards, and Brandon Bahnsen, who

had six catches for 181 yards. Taylon Molnar had one catch for 14 yards. Kennedy led Danbury with 104 yards rushing on 17 carries with one touchdown and one fumble. Edon scored first on a 62-yard pass from Long to Brock Thiel, but Danbury came back to close to within a point, 7-6, on a 53-yard touchdown pass thrown by Kennedy. In the second quarter, Danbury scored on a 76-yard hook-up between Kennedy and Schenk, but by that time, the game was out of reach. Edon added two touchdowns in the third quarter, and then Danbury scored twice in the fourth to a single Edon touchdown. This Friday, Danbury travels to play Toledo Christian, which lost 25-24 to Cardinal Stritch at Clay High School’s Memorial Stadium last Saturday night. Danbury defeated Stritch 4027 two weeks ago. Toledo Christian is 1-4 and 0-2 in the TAAC, with its only win coming in non-league action against Holgate, 47-45. The Eagles have also lost to Delta, 21-7, Fort Loramie, 53-0, and Hilltop, 46-35. The Danbury-TC game is scheduled to be played at Perrysburg High

School’s Steinecker Stadium Friday night with kickoff at 7 p.m. Kennedy only needs 90 yards passing against the Eagles to topple the 1,000 yard mark this, his senior season. So far, he has completed 46of-86 passes for 910 yards and eight touchdowns, plus he has ran for 637 yards on eight attempts and nine touchdowns and he has ran for six two-point conversions. Last year as a junior, Kennedy finished the season with 1,189 yards rushing on 152 carries with 14 touchdowns. He also completed 53-of-117 passes for 871 yards and five touchdowns, plus he caught one touchdown pass. Actually, Kennedy had four catches for 93 yards. “We’re happy to have him back,” Danbury coach Tim Heffernan said. Toledo Christian is coached for first-year mentor Scott Gibson, who returns only nine letter winners after last year’s team went 8-3 and won the TAAC with a 6-0 record and then reached the playoffs. His top returning starters are 5-10, 185 pound senior nose guard Ethan Wotring, 6-3, 200 pound defensive end Nate Lyell, and 6-4, 265 junior lineman Isaac Barringer.

Port Clinton and Oak Harbor soccer programs are on a roll By JOHN SCHAFFNER Publisher This time of year, we tend to get caught up in high school football, but another kind of football is sweeping Ottawa County. Both the Port Clinton and Oak Harbor High School soccer programs are doing extremely well this season, both the girls and boys programs. The Redskin boys team was 10-1

overall as of Tuesday. They are 6-0 in the Sandusky Bay Conference and in first place. They are in front of the Oak Harbor soccer team by only one game. The Rockets are 5-1 in SBC play. Those two teams meet this week in a big match. After that, Coach Paco Romero’s team plays Vermilion, Perkins, Huron and Clyde hoping to secure the SBC Championship.

This is the first year of varsity status for the PCHS girls soccer team and they are 8-2-1 over all and 5-1-1 in the SBC. They are 1-1/2 games behind the unbeaten Oak Harbor girls soccer team who is 7-0 in Conference play. The two Ottawa County rivals meet next week in a big match. The PC girls also must face Margaretta, Perkins, Huron and Clyde yet this season.

Redskin golfers shoot for SBC title The Port Clinton Redskin golfers have had an incredible season and are looking for more. Under head coach Rick Dominick, the team has rolled to a 10-3 overall record this season and clinched at least a tie for the Sandusky Bay Conference title. They had a match with Edison at Thunderbird Hills in Huron on Tuesday night to claim the title outright. The PC golf team hasn’t won an SBC title since 1980 when they died St. Mary’s for the championship. Should they come away with a win over Edison, it would be their first outright title ever. The team’s top seven are: • Kevin Hiller, senior • Hunter Floro, senior • Sean Black, junior • Donovan Guerra, junior • Jason Mueller, junior • Joey Kurtz, sophomore • Shane Meek, freshman

Weather causes schedule changes All of the scheduled athletic events for Oak Harbor High School were canceled for Monday, Sept. 26. Dates changes are as follows: • Boys golf at the Edison Invite was moved to Monday, Oct. 3 • Girls golf at Huron was moved to Wednesday, Sept. 28 • Girls Tennis at Edison was moved to 4 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 4 • Girls soccer vs. Port Clinton was moved to Saturday, Oct. 8.

Lake Erie Shores & Islands earns marketing awards The Ohio Association of Convention & Visitors Bureaus recently held its 14th annual Awards of Excellence in Waldo. MIDDY Awards are presented for destination marketing and tourism development. “The MIDDY Award name reflects our region of the country,” said Diane Watson, chairwoman of the OACVB MIDDY Awards for 2011. “Recipients are recognized for excellence in planning, creativity, effectiveness of message, concept and design.” More than 100 award entries were received in a variety of categories, including rack brochure, website, print advertising, specialty advertising, social media, television spot and tourism campaign. All entries are judged by a team of experts in the communications, advertising, public relations, publications and/or tourism from outside of the OACVB membership. Lake Erie Shores & Islands received three first place MIDDY awards. First place honors were presented to the LES&I team for their “Unplug to Recharge” print advertisement, “Unplug to Recharge” radio spot

and “Recharge Your Battery” television commercial. Accepting the awards were LES&I East Executive Director Joan Van Offeren, LES&I West Executive Director Larry Fletcher and LES&I East Managing Director Dawn Weinhardt. Lake Erie Shores & Islands is a cooperative marketing partnership of the visitors bureaus of Erie (east) and Ottawa (west) counties. “We’re both honored and excited to be recognized for our 2011 marketing campaign,” said Joan Van Offeren. “The LES&I team uses a variety of mediums to promote the region to visitors; it’s nice to be acknowledged for our marketing efforts in print, radio and television.” Convention and visitors bureaus are best described as destination marketing organizations and are responsible for travel and tourism product awareness to visitors. Many outstanding marketing projects were submitted for the annual awards competition. Being recognized for a job well done in the promotion of travel and tourism throughout the state of Ohio is a highly valued achievement.

Tim Kern, of Ron Foth Advertising, the designer/producer of the advertising; René Franklin, LES&I Marketing Manager; and Larry Fletcher, LES&I West Executive Director, show off the three first-place awards.

Beekeeper opens There will soon be a new place to dine in Oak Harbor. The Beekeeper Inn will be opening its doors to the public on Friday, Sept. 30. Located in the old Oak Harbor Hotel Building, The Beekeeper Inn is owned and operated by locals Peggy Dennis and Mark Kohn. Their goal is to become a destination steakhouse, offering a full menu of steaks, seafood, pastas, sandwiches, soups, salads and more. They have hired John Scott, an executive chef who formerly created culinary magic at the Sylvania Country Club to lead the kitchen team. The items on the menu will be made from scratch, seasonal and local as much as possible. They will serve lunch and dinner, as well as a great selection of wines. The Beekeeper Inn will be open for lunch and dinner from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Wednesday through Sunday with the bar open until 11 p.m. on weekdays and 1 a.m. Fridays and Saturdays. Plans for live music are in the works as well as an open mic night. The official ribbon cutting ceremony will take place at 10:30 a.m. Friday, Sept. 30, followed by the grand opening for lunch at 11 a.m. In the future, there will be expanded seating and banquet facilities. The Beekeeper Inn is located at 200 W. Water St. in downtown Oak Harbor. Check out the menu at www.beekeeperoh.com.

Reinvesting dividends can pay off

When you invest in stocks, you want their price to go up. But of course, you can’t control the rise and fall of stock prices. However, there is a key element of investing that you can control — the number of shares you own. And in the long run, share ownership may be more important than rising stock prices in determining your long-term investment clip this coupon

success. Of course, you might think that the advice of “buy more shares” is easier said than done. After all, not everyone can easily find a lot of extra money to invest. But you don’t need access to vast wealth to increase your share ownership — you just need to consistently reinvest your stock dividends.

Just how important are reinvested dividends to wealth accumulation, as compared to capital gains (the increase in stock prices)? Over the 135-year period from 1871 through 2003, owning stocks and reinvesting the dividends produced 97% of all stock market returns, with only 3% coming from capital gains, according to a major study done by Dr. Jeremy Siegel, one of the world’s leading researchers on stock market performance. Other studies have also pointed to the importance of dividends as a component of total returns. What are the implications of this disparity between the effectiveness of dividend reinvestment versus that of capital gains? First of all, it suggests that you may not want to spend an undue amount of time and effort in chasing after “hot” stocks, hoping for big capital gains. For one thing, by the time you buy these stocks, they may already be cooling off, but even more importantly, your focus on achieving large capital gains may not be the best use of your financial resources. Ultimately, the power of dividend reinvestment means, not surprisingly, that you may be able to help yourself if you look for quality dividend-paying stocks — and then reinvest the dividends, month after month and year after year. With just a little research, you can find

stocks that have paid — and even increased — dividends for many years in a row. (Keep in mind, though, that not all stocks will pay dividends, and even those that do can reduce or discontinue them at any time. Dividend reinvestment does not ensure a profit or protect against loss.) So, to help boost your share ownership, consider reinvesting the dividends back into the stock, rather than taking them as cash payments. If you do choose to reinvest your dividends, though, you will need to look to other types of investments to provide you with income, assuming you need some income from your portfolio, which may become more necessary during your retirement years. Your financial advisor can help you determine the appropriate investments to help provide this income. But in any case, if you can do without the current income provided by dividends, give careful consideration to reinvesting them. Dividend reinvestment is not a glamorous investment strategy, and it won’t help you “get rich quick,” but it can help you make steady progress toward your long-term financial goals — and that’s a key dividend in itself.

HEALTH & WELLNESS

County health dept. gets grant funding The Ottawa County Health Department has received a $40,000 state grant to be used for a community health assessment and programs to prevent childhood obesity. The grant, provided by the Ohio Department of Health, will include a sampling of several hundred adults and students living in Ottawa County, Health Commissioner Nancy Osborn said. The community health assessment samplings will include questions about health, lifestyles and access to health care. The health department staff will collect data in cooperation with the University of Toledo, the Hospital Council of Northwest Ohio and Ottawa County schools. Census records and other vital statistics also will be incorporated. The information then will be used to create a strategic action plan to prioritize community health issues in Ottawa County, put programs into place to address those issues and then evaluate program success. A critical element of the assessment is the focus on childhood obesity, Osborn said. “This is a very real problem in every community, including here,” she added.

Oral health is important to a child’s development

In the United States, tooth decay is a disease that affects children more often than any other infectious disease. It is one of the most common chronic childhood diseases, and is five times more common than asthma. Oral health is important to a child’s development into a healthy productive adult. Unhealthy children become unhealthy adults. Oral health is important to a child’s overall well-being. A child’s mouth is a part of the body and is a part of a child’s total health. Oral health is not only about tooth health; it also includes sensory, digestive, structural and emotional aspects of the teeth, mouth, and jaw. Untreated tooth decay leads to pain, infections, decay in adjacent teeth, and tooth loss, which in turn can lead to problems with eating, sleeping, speaking, playing, and learning. All of these are important to development. As in adults, dental infections in children can be dangerous to one’s health. However, tooth decay and oral disease in children can be prevented with good daily oral hygiene, proper nutrition, and regular visits to the dentist for exams, cleanings, fluoride, x-rays, and dental sealants. It has been estimated that more than 50 million school hours, and more than 1 million days of school are missed by children due to dental disease. A child in pain, or having prematurely missing teeth, has difficulty with concentration and learning, eating and speaking, with negative effects on social interac-

tion and self-esteem. This impacts his nutrition, cognitive and physical development, and his transition into a healthy, successful adult. Although baby teeth are designed to fall out, it is as important to keep them healthy as it is to care for adult teeth. As in an adult, a child’s mouth is his gateway to the body’s total health and development. Baby teeth provide chewing and nourishment, speech development, and reserve space for adult teeth. Losing baby teeth prematurely allows other teeth to drift, resulting in crowded adult teeth because they lost their space. To prevent problems, decayed baby teeth need to be treated by a dentist to prevent pain, infection, and premature tooth loss. Once a baby’s teeth begin to appear, a parent should clean the teeth with a moist washcloth after feedings. As the baby gets more teeth and matures, use a soft baby toothbrush with a pea-sized amount of toothpaste, preferably without fluoride until the child can spit out the excess. Pedodontists (dentists specializing in children) recommend dental visits when the teeth start erupting. This helps the child to get comfortable with dental care and to value dental health. Parents should continue to brush until the child has good manual dexterity, at about the time he would be proficient at good handwriting. Then monitoring during brushing and flossing is indicated until about age 12. Good habits are instilled within the child if preventative visits to a family dentist, consist-

ing of exams, cleanings, x-rays, and fluoride are regular for both child and parents. Children follow the lead of a parent. Have sealants applied to teeth, if recommended. Braces (orthodontics) are important for children who have an occlusal discrepancy (how the teeth of one jaw meet the other). Braces move the teeth into alignment for efficient contact in order to chew and to protect the TMJ. Crowded teeth are often times difficult, even impossible to thoroughly clean; orthodontics can also help the jaws develop to their proper size in order to fit the teeth and provide a proper sized airway for breathing. Narrow jaws can diminish the air flow, resulting in open mouth breathing, snoring and later in life, sleep apnea. With orthodontic treatment, oral health can be enhanced while gaining a beautiful smile. A child’s oral health is necessary for his overall well-being. Problems can affect his learning, speaking development, and social well-being, which can carry on well into adulthood. A parent should take charge of his child’s dental health with proper nutritional guidance, home hygiene care, and regular professional dental care. This educates a child to accept responsibility for his own health and to perform the tasks necessary to improve and maintain that health. As a parent, set a good example for the children by being proactive in your own dental health. As do adults, children deserve a healthy smile that does a body good.
