VETERANS DAY

PHOTOS BY ANGIE ADAIR ZAM

Survivors, students and supporters marched in the rain last week to speak out against domestic violence.

Locals Take Back the Night Survivors, students and supporters gathered last week at Oak Harbor High School to take a stand against domestic abuse. Take Back the Night, the annual rally and march, included a resource fair, a variety of speakers and a march, all for one purpose: Stop the violence. “Domestic violence knows no race, no economic background,” said Kathy Newlove, of Alicia’s Voice, a Northwest Ohio group dedicated to increasing support for victims and awareness of the abuse. Alicia’s Voice was named in honor of Newlove’s daughter and was formed only nine days after

Silent witnesses stand among the guests at Oak Harbor High School during the Take Back the Night rally. The silhouettes represent women whose lives ended violently at the hands of a husband, ex-husband, partner or acquaintance.

Help is available Family and Child Abuse Prevention Center — 419734-3266; Joyful Connections — 567-262-3181; or Child Protective Services/ODJFS — 419-898-3688 or 800-665-1677 x 232

Alicia was shot five times and died at the hands of an ex — a scene witnessed by Alicia’s children. Judge Kathleen Geisler, who also spoke during the event, said in looking back over reports of women seeking protection orders, the common thread was the children being present during the abuse. “Children grow up thinking it’s OK to hurt people and let others hurt them,” the judge said as she encouraged attendees to volunteer and educate. “We’re here simply to make people aware that violence must end in Ottawa County,” she said.

Reggie Langford is at it again By JOHN SCHAFFNER Publisher First it was spraying Catawba for the Gypsy Moth. Then came a statue of a soldier to grace the Catawba cemetery. Now, the Vietnam War veteran is at it again with a new project targeted for this coming Veterans Day, Friday, November 11. “When I get on a project, I am relentless,” said Reggie Langford. Langford was badly injured when a mortar round came into his hooch and exploded 10 feet away in February of 1965. Langford was a helicopter mechanic with the U.S. Army in the early days of the Vietnam conflict. He had to be sent back to Walter Reed Army Hospital in Washington, D.C., to be treated for his injuries. A couple of weeks ago, Langford remembered seeing an ad in The Beacon for Nagoya offering a 10 percent discount for active military. He then got the idea: why not ask local restaurants to give a 10 percent discount to veterans on Veterans Day. That is all it took. Langford had another project in his head, and he transferred it to his feet. He covered Ottawa County going to every restaurant he could find to ask the owners if they would offer a 10 percent

Richard Dubbert

Vote for B-C-S

Jan. 16, 1943 — Oct. 21, 2011 Richard M. Dubbert Jr., 68, of Marblehead, died Friday, Oct. 21, at Edgewood Manor Nursing Center in Port Clinton. There will be no visitation or services as cremation has taken place. Online condolences may be left for the family at www. neideckerleveckcrosser.com.

Vote for the Benton-Carroll-Salem Schools? We are voting yes and here are a few reasons why: the B-C-S schools have provided a sound education to hundreds of children. They continue to look for ways to save money while providing youth with knowledge and skills to prepare them for their future. The schools are living up to their responsibilities. It is imperative that we provide them with the necessary resources. We support the B-C-S schools because we are advocates for young people. Providing a quality education for our youth is basic to helping them learn, grow and prosper. Times are difficult. We have experienced job cuts, wage freezes and increased expenses but we believe that the children of our community deserve a sound future. We are voting for B-C-S. We hope you join us.

Lakeside fire The Lakeside Volunteer Fire Department has been in existence since 1905 serving the residents of Lakeside/Marblehead and Danbury Township. Throughout the years, the department has received great community support from the residents and the business community. This year has been no exception. In spite of the economy, on Labor Day the fire department served nearly 600 meals at its annual spaghetti dinner. Support and attendance by the residents again made the dinner a huge success. This year was a record breaking year. This year, the Kroger Company, in cooperation with its local store in Port Clinton, contributed nearly all of the food and paper products. Special thanks to Alan Faust, from the corporate office in Cincinnati, and Robert Sears, manager of the Port Clinton Kroger Store, who coordinated the necessary details with John Starcher. Starcher has di-

rected the annual spaghetti dinner for several years. The Lakeside Volunteer Fire Department sincerely appreciates the generosity of the Kroger Company, for sharing its resources of time and talents in making the spaghetti dinner a huge success. Since the fire department is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, all funds and revenues received go toward providing quality fire and emergency service protection for the residents of this area. The revenue generated from the 2010 dinner was used to purchase a Winter Rescue Boast that has been in service. Again, thank you to Kroger, the volunteers and the residents who supported this annual fundraising endeavor. Marvin W. Rettig Lakeside Volunteer Fire Department

We extend our thanks to Missy and her help at the Galley Restaurant for serving a delicious meal. Our volunteers are looking forward to another enjoyable season. Many volunteers have expressed that being a Docent is a very rewarding experience. Beth Petisco Marblehead

It's a Spootacular Week

Ottawa County Juvenile Court celebrates Recovery Month The Ottawa County Juvenile Court observed National Recovery Month in September. The national observance educates Americans on the fact that addiction treatment and mental health services can enable those with a substance use or mental disorder to live a healthy and rewarding life. The Ottawa County Juvenile Court embraces this idea by partnering with local treatment providers and community service agencies to provide quality services to consumers of mental health and addiction services here in Ottawa County. The Ottawa County Juvenile court is proud to showcase successful individuals who have worked hard to obtain sobriety and mental health.

The Ottawa County Juvenile Court’s Families And Courts Together program is a specialty docket concentrating on court-connected youth who are dealing with substance abuse issues and/or serious mental health issues. The FACT participant and their families report to Judge Kathleen Giesler and to a treatment team of community agency members who are able to wrap services around the participant and their families. The treatment team is a valuable component of this specialty docket because each agency represented provides ideas and resources to the FACT participant and their families. The families involved with the FACT program are strong and resourceful but they have

suffered from the effects of substance abuse or untreated mental illness. It is the goal to assist youth in achieving sobriety and complying with the mental health treatment while also supporting the linking families to services in the community. Current graduates are both from the Danbury school district and each has worked to achieve sobriety. They were required to attend and successfully complete substance abuse treatment, school, probation, community service, remain law-abiding and comply with all court orders. They have succeeded in each of these categories. Collectively they had 653 days of sobriety and have been successfully released from Court supervision.

Meet Ron, one of RVI’s finest October is National Disability Employment Awareness Month. It is designed to shine the light on individuals who live with disabilities and their contributions to the work force. In the spirit of this month, we would like to take this opportunity to introduce you to some exceptional individuals. Ron is a young man in his 20s who is employed at RVI in Oak Harbor. A proud father of a 7-week-old baby boy, Ron works on numerous different projects and is a huge asset to everyone he works with. “If I had fiv employees like Ron, there isn’t a thing that we couldn’t accomplish.” said Ron Dubbert, a supervisor at RVI. “He comes in, asks what needs to be done, and by the end of the day, it is done.” When asked what word best described Ron, Dubbert replied without hesitation, “Super.”

Sitting down and talking to Ron, it is easy to see why not only his supervisor, but his co-workers speak so highly of him. Mild mannered and kind, he is at ease in conversation and all you have to do is mention his son to see his bright smile. Ron has been working at RVI for almost six years, he says that it has been great and he has enjoyed being able to meet so many great people. While at RVI, Ron has done some of the more difficult and challenging tasks, from working the shrink wrap machine and cardboard bailer, carpentry work and assisting with maintenance. He also works in the community with the Janitorial Department of RVI. He has worked out at East Harbor State Park, cleaning and maintaining the shower houses and restrooms and also at an ODOT rest stop, assisting with general cleaning.

“You have something that needs done, Ron is your guy,” said Dubbert. When I asked Ron what living with a disability meant to him he said, “hassle,” with a crooked smile. While it is a hassle to Ron, he does not let it stop him. He has attended Four County Career Center, EHOVE and Terra Community College, and has received multiple certificates, electrical being his favorite. “Having a disability is difficult,” he explains, it makes finding job opportunities a challenge. Ron wishes that employers would look at his skills and credentials, not at a diagnosis. “I would like to get into the electric field, to better support my family.” “Dependable” is a word that Ron says describes him, and others agree. “I don’t want to be defined by my disability; I want to be able to do more,” he said.

Coats for Families The Salvation Army in Ottawa County has partnered with the News Herald, Executive Cleaners and Howard Hanna to provide warm winter coats for local families in need. The Salvation Army’s “Coats for Families” program will run through January. This program is based on donations from the general public of new and gently used coats to be cleaned by Executive Cleaners, at no charge, and redistributed cost-free to local families in need of a winter coat. Last year, The Salvation Army collected and distributed more than 840 coats to local families in Ottawa County. This is the 16th year this program has been providing coats to the local residents. Collection areas for coats are the News Herald, Executive Cleaners, Howard Hanna and The Salvation Army. Executive Cleaners is offering a 10 percent off cleaning coupon to every person who brings in a coat for this program. They are providing cleaning of all coats, at no cost, and offered to be a satellite collection and distribution site for The Salvation Army. Anyone who needs a warm winter coat can stop by The Salvation Army at The Sutton Center and pick one out. To donate gently used coats, drop them off at one of the sites listed or call The Salvation Army at 419-7322769 and speak with Director Maureen Saponari.

rus, chorale and Touch of Class will be featured. Brian Stitak, orchestra director, and Eric Watts, choir director, invite the community to hear the talented students of PCHS.

Benton-Carroll-Salem teachers agree to concessions After weeks of negotiating, the Benton-Carroll-Salem Board of Education and the teacher’s union have negotiated a new agreement that will save the district more than $300,000. This was all made possible when the teachers agreed to open their Contract — which was scheduled to expire in June 2012 — early. The new contract includes the roll back of 2.5 percent on the base salary and increases the employee’s insurance contribution to 15 percent percent. The board appreciates the teaching staff for opening their contract and shouldering some of the burden of cost reductions. The board is continually trying to improve the district’s financial picture by reducing expenses and increasing revenues. By the start of this school year, savings of more than $1.2 million dollars were achieved. The savings included an administrative base pay freeze, reductions in staff, elimination of bus routes and the closing of Rocky Ridge Elementary School.

Discuss the future of Fourth Street As the Port Clinton City School District new school buildings get closer to completion, the school district is once again asking for input from the community. On Tuesday, Nov. 1, there will be an important community forum to discuss the future of the Fourth Street Block. The meeting will be held at 6 p.m. in the Port Clinton Middle School Cafeteria. “Communication is important to the operation of any

public school district,” said Patrick Adkins, Superintendent of Schools. “We encourage communication from the community that has helped to direct the school district with a variety of issues in the past. On Tuesday, November 1, 2011, your school district once again needs your input.” For those that cannot attend the meeting there is an online survey at the district’s website, www.pccsd.net under the “New Facilities” link.

Pictured with their creations are Mitchell Coon (front left), Chase Mayle, Adrianna Hummel, Parker Kajfasz (back left), Garrett Hirt, Joseph Bennett and Collin Fleming.

Pumpkin adventures Mrs. Maher’s third grade class at Immaculate Conception School recently decorated pumpkins, and created a story about their Jack-o’-lantern. They shared their stories with first- and second-graders. Their adventures included trick or

treating, decorating themselves and making costumes. One pumpkin met a ghost. Another found a vampire pumpkin friend. Some of the pumpkins watched TV or played Xbox. There was even a pumpkin with magic powers.

Redskins stay competitive BY JOHN SCHAFFNER Publisher The hopes and dreams of a winning season for the Port Clinton Redskins are beginning to fade. With just two games remaining, the Redskins had the two best teams in the Sandusky Bay Conference to contend with, Huron and Clyde. However, last week, Port Clinton football coach Toby Hammond challenged his players to not pack it in after losing to Perkins. It didn’t create an upset, but it worked well enough to keep the Redskins competitive with the Tigers throughout the game in a 22-6 loss. “We played as well as we could,” said Coach Hammond this week. “I couldn’t be more proud of our kids. They could have folded up the tents after the Perkins game but they came back and played a very good Huron team the best we could.” Huron is now 8-1 on the season and headed for the playoffs. Statistically, the game was very evenly played as the Redskins matched Huron play for play, first down for first down. The biggest difference in the game was two short punts that gave the Tigers a short field to work with in the first half. “We wanted to run the ball on them,” said Hammond. “We needed to keep the ball out of their hands. Short fields hurt us. They are so good on returns we wanted to keep the ball away from #14. With the poor weather for practice that week, we didn’t

Huron’s Quarterback is dragged down by PC’s Chris Overfield (53) work on it as much as we should.” Next up is a trip to Clyde, who has been pounding everybody in the SBC since the 4th week of the season. “We need to be even more aggressive,” said Coach Hammond. “We hit with Huron and we must hit with Clyde. The key will be our offense in just trying to keep the ball away from them.” The Fliers beat Edison 47-20 last week, scoring 40 points in the first half. They have been led all season by the unexpected play of running back Brad Smith.

“He came out of nowhere,” said Coach Hammond about the Clyde superstar. “I talked with Coach Gibson about him and he said the same thing.” Clyde is looking for their 5th consecutive SBC football championship, having already clinched at least a tie by virtue of their win over Huron earlier in the season. I asked Toby Hammond if there was any chance of a Clyde letdown. “I don’t think so. An outright title and to get ready for the playoffs will be motivation enough.”

Oak Harbor tops Sandusky SMCC BY J. PATRICK EAKEN Oak Harbor scored once in the first quarter, twice in the second, and added a touchdown in each of the third and fourth quarters to defeat host Sandusky St. Mary Central Catholic, 35-13, Saturday night. Alex Bergman scored the Rocket’s first touchdown on a one-yard run in the first quarter. Quarterback Brian Mallernee added a one-yard TD run of his own to open second quarter scoring, and then Austin Wiegand scored on a three-yard

run later in the quarter. In the third quarter, Mallernee threw a five-yard touchdown pass to Wiegand, and in the fourth, Brian Mallernee threw a 30yard scoring pass to his brother, Joey, to finish off scoring. On all five touchdowns, J.J. Rathbun nailed the conversion kick. Oak Harbor improves to 5-4 overall, 4-2 in the Sandusky Bay Conference. SMCC falls to 3-7 and 1-5. This Friday, Oak Harbor closes the season by hosting Perkins, which is the only

SBC team that St. Mary has defeated this season, 13-12, in the first week of league play. Perkins, however, has won two straight SBC contests, defeating Port Clinton 20-6 two weeks ago and Margaretta 6-0 Friday night. Those are the Pirates’ only wins this season. Other losses have been to Bellevue (2814), Sandusky (27-0), Norwalk (24-6), Edison (28-27), Huron (6-2), and Clyde (56-0).

SOCCER

Redskins play in Sectional The Port Clinton boys soccer team defeated Perkins Monday night by a score of 4-2. They broke open a tied match with a pair of goals late in the game to pull away for their 16th win of the season against only one loss. Nick Heminger was the star of the game with two goals for the Redskins. David Brown and Brandon Stubblefield were the other goal scorers. It was the goal by David Brown that broke the tie as he banged in a rebound off a shot from Stubblefield. Garrett Zunk made eight saves in goal for the Redskins. The team plays Lexington for the Sectional title Wednesday night at Huron Middle School.

PCHS holds fall sports banquet The Port Clinton High School Fall All-Sports Banquet will be held at 6 p.m. Nov. 3. Athletes and their families will gather in the cafeteria for a dessert buffet to start the evening. The general awards presentations will begin at approximately 6:30 p.m. in the Performing Arts Center followed by breakouts into individual sport awards in designated areas of the high school. Port Clinton High School has had an exceptional fall sports season earning three SBC titles in boys golf, boys soccer and girls cross country.

The Beacon

Danbury falls short in matchup with Gibsonburg BY J. PATRICK EAKEN Danbury held a 6-0 lead over Gibsonburg in a Toledo Area Athletic Conference football game Friday, but could not hold on as the Golden Bears scored 30 unanswered points in the second half. Danbury’s only touchdown came after a Gibsonburg fumble was recovered at the Golden Bear 10-yard line by senior defensive back Lucas Kennedy. Kennedy, then on offense, then threw a 10-yard touchdown pass to senior wide receiver Cory Schenk with 8:25 remaining in the first half. Danbury coach Tim Heffernan said Gibsonburg wore the Lakers down in the second half. “It’s a wear-down — it’s a grind,” Heffernan said. “When they are a little bit bigger and stronger than you

are, they’ll wear you down. Hats off to Gibsonburg — they are a good team and they are going to be a good team in the future. This was a weight-room loss for us.” Kennedy, a returning honorable mention All-Ohio QB, was virtually shut down by the Golden Bears, finishing the game rushing for negative yardage and completing 6-of-18 passes for 67 yards. After getting 95 total yards the first half, Danbury managed just 29 in the second half. Freshman fullback Taylon Molnar rushed for 60 yards on 10 carries for the Lakers. For Gibsonburg, senior Travis Tille ran for 103 yards on 17 carries and sophomore Jeremiah Brauer ran for 162 yards on 15 carries. Senior QB Matt Tille completed 6-of-14 passes for 68 yards.

“It’s a weight-room loss,” Danbury coach Tim Heffernan said. “We played our hearts out, we gave 110 percent effort — there was no question about heart, no question about effort. “When you are up at half, you should win in the second half,” Heffernan continued. “We gave them everything they could handle for half of a football game, but half a game doesn’t win. Only four quarters wins.” This Friday, the Lakers close the season by hosting Hilltop of Biro Field. Hilltop is 3-6 after losing to Cardinal Stritch, 36-13, last Saturday night. Hilltop has wins over Antwerp (21-6), Holgate (27-13), and Toledo Christian (46-35). Other losses have been to Edgerton (60-7), Ottawa Hills (48-30), Northwood (62-8), Edon (63-26), and Gibsonburg (29-19).

ACHIEVEMENT CENTERS

Wheelchair basketball game coming up at OHHS Oak Harbor High School senior Adam Benner, who was born with Spina Bifida and has been in a wheelchair most of his life, is playing on Achievement Centers’ Junior Wheelchair Cavaliers. The team is comprised of boys and girls from 8-18 from all over Ohio. They play against teams in Detroit, Nashville, Fort Wayne and Wooster. Through generous sponsors — including Cleveland Cavaliers, Cleveland Browns, Cuyahoga County Board of DD, Invacare Top End (wheelchairs); American Tank & Fabricating Company; Bravo Wellness LLC; and Campana Development NY2 — the Adapted Sports program has become a reality and is making a difference in these

children’s lives. Benner was able to work with OHHS to bring a game to Oak Harbor. That game will be played at noon Saturday, Nov. 12, at the high school. All are invited to come out and pack the house in support of Benner and his teammates as they host a double header wheelchair basketball game against Detroit. If you’ve never been to a wheelchair basketball game, it is amazing what they go through to score those points. This game will also act as a fundraiser for his team to offset the travel costs and the cost for uniforms. According to Matt and Lisa, Adam’s parents, he has wanted to play basketball ever since he was a toddler. If

fact, his first steps at Physical Therapy (aided by braces and walker) were achieved by his motivation to be like Michael Jordan. He was able to play in his wheelchair in sixth grade, but in the seventh grade Adam was informed the Ohio Sports rules would no longer allow him to play. He was devastated and just couldn’t understand why he couldn’t play with his friends. Fortunately, in August 2009, the family learned about Tim Fox and the Achievement Centers for Children’s Junior Wheelchair Cavaliers team. “Adam really enjoys being able to play basketball again and has also had the opportunity to meet new friends!”

Legal Lines

Goals in jeopardy Working with many people who are retired or planning to do so in the near future, two goals have emerged from their conversations. First, they want to continue the standard of living that they have enjoyed in recent years. The second goal is the desire to leave an inheritance to their children, loved ones or charity. These two goals can be in direct conflict if a long term plan is not considered. In the seventies, fewer people lived into their eighties or nineties. Today, this is common place. This is due in large part to modern medical advancements that allow for longevity. Along with living longer comes the greater possibility of incurring major health problems that can be treated, but with considerable cost. Medicine, doctors, human resource assistance and nursing homes all keep us going but cut into that second goal of leaving a legacy to our children. Social Security provides some cash assistance. Medicare rehabilitation and home health care benefits provide short term protection .These programs are not the solution to a long term medical problem. Many people feel these government programs will take care of them in their time of need only to find they will be required to liquidate their savings to sustain their care. People work hard to create assets that will be there for them in later years. They owe it to themselves to take time to inventory what they have and seek advice as to what alternatives are there to protect those assets for their families. To assist in deciding if you would need a comprehensive estate plan, ask the following questions: 1. Are my assets at risk if I would need personal long term care services or a nursing home? 2. Is it likely that I will incur long term medical problems? 3. Is it important to me that my estate is protected for my spouse or children?

4. Am I interested in seeing my important assets transferred to my children or grandchildren provided my health care and long-term care options are preserved? Procrastination and concern of expense are the two major stumbling blocks. It is very important that a qualified attorney whose practice is focused in this area is consulted. The value of the service should become quickly apparent. If the money paid is a fraction of the amount that the estate plan protects and this plan can prevent future out of pocket costs, then it can be easily justified. Most clients are extremely relieved to have a qualified third party review all of their assets and documents to insure that all are correct and current. The review provides the peace of mind that their affairs are in order. There are several proactive alternatives that can protect your assets and allow for your medical care to continue. With sufficient time and family cooperation, one can be assured that there heirlooms and property will be passed to their family. Individuals go to the doctor for a physical but neglect to review their own estate plan.

REAL ESTATE

News is good, bad for local market BY JOHN SCHAFFNER Publisher The Ohio housing market posted big gains during the third quarter of the year, according to Meg Hudson, president of the Ohio Association of Realtors. Ohio showed an 18.8 percent gain compared to the same period in 2010 based on statistics

provided by the state’s Multiple Listing Services. September sales in the area covered by the Firelands Association of Realtors jumped 32 percent in the number of units sold compared to September of 2010, well above the state average. Sales volume in dollars rose 22 percent based on the back side of the ac-

tivity scale, the average sale price, which dropped by 7.6 percent in September. Local sales in the Firelands area has risen 7.1 percent in the first three quarters of 2011 in the number of housing units sold. Total dollar volume is up by 3.6 percent while the average sale price continues to lag, down 3.3

percent during the same ninemonth period. The Firelands real estate sales numbers are well above state averages in all areas except average sale price. Local selling prices are about a half percent lower for the first three quarters than the statewide average. A recent statewide survey of

real estate professionals suggests that the industry is cautiously optimistic about the market’s outlook in the coming months. The OAR Housing Market Confidence shows that optimism, with 60 percent of Realtors who believe home prices over the next year will remain stable and could even post gains.

RIVERVIEW HEALTHCARE CAMPUS

Kendra German gets 20 under 40 award Ottawa County Riverview Healthcare Campus Administrator Kendra German was selected for the prestigious “20 under 40 Award” sponsored by the Toledo Business Journal and WTOL Channel 11 of Toledo. The ceremony was held at the Fifth Third Center in Toledo. German was raised in Graytown and graduated from Oak Harbor High School in 1997. She attended Bowling Green State University earning dual degrees in business administration with a specialization in healthcare administration and gerontology with a specialization in long-term care administration. Under the direction of German, Ottawa County Riverview HealthCare Campus has achieved a Five Star Medicare Rating. Additionally, the campus was named in the listing of Best Nursing Homes in 2011 by US News and World Report. As the first executive coordinator of Ottawa County Senior Resources, she had oversight of the county’s home-delivered meals and six senior centers. Additionally, she assisted the program in establishing the Oak Harbor Senior Center, Adult Day Service and Home Care Program. As administrator of Riverview HealthCare Campus in 2009, she led the

facility in a restructuring that saved $1.5 million per year. She is very active with business-related activities including The Oak Harbor Rotary Board of Directors, Elmore Chamber of Commerce Secretary, Ottawa County Summit on Aging Taskforce, the Benton-Carroll-Salem School District Treasurer’s Financial Advisory Board and the Riverview HealthCare Campus Levy Campaign. In 2009, German coordinated a benefit for Honor Flight Northwest Ohio which raised $2,600 with a dinner, auction and concert. German currently resides in Graytown with her husband Chad and their son, Trace. In her spare time, she enjoys spending time with family and friends and scrapbooking. German is a member of Elliston Zion United Methodist Church where she is active in Bible Study, the Worship Committee and Worship Team. German lends her vocal talents to many different aspects of the Ottawa County Community such as various churches in the Elmore, Oak Harbor and Port Clinton area, the Oak Harbor Fourth of July and Apple Festival events. She has also sung for the Elmore Fireworks, Ottawa County Relay for Life, The Ohio Healthcare Association District IV Legislative Dinner, the Area Office on Aging and various senior events. German was also chosen as one of 30 from more than 200 auditions to sing the National Anthem at the Toledo Mud Hen’s games.

New president named for Marblehead Bank The Marblehead Bank has promoted William Tuttamore the position of president. Tuttamore has been with the bank since 1992 as vice president of lending and a director. He has nearly 29 years experience in banking. Tuttamore replaces longtime President David King, who retired from the bank after 23 years of service at Marblehead Bank and 42 years in banking. “Our staff is some of the best professionals in the business and I will miss them and our customers that I have interacted with on a daily basis,” said King. As part of the succession plan, King will remain in an advisory role during the transition and remain as a Board member. “I wish to thank David for his many years of dedicated service to the bank, the

board, the staff and most importantly our customers,” said Tuttamore. “I know that his ‘retirement’ from the bank creates new opportunities to be with his family.” “The Marblehead Bank is stronger than ever as we have just completed our 104th year in business and our current management team is very strong and averages 25 years of experience with Marblehead Bank. Our transition will be seamless and position us for a continued local focus as the Peninsula’s community bank,” said Thomas Lane, Chairman of The Marblehead Bank Board of Directors. The Management staff includes; Pete Schwager (AVP Lending), Patricia Pepa (AVP Customer Service), Lori Fletcher (AVP, Branch Manager) and Deborah Stephens (AVP, Cashier).

Try to avoid these scary investment moves

If you have kids — or even if you don’t — you’re probably aware that Halloween is fast approaching. Of course, you may find the ghouls, witches and creepy impersonations of celebrities to be more amusing

than alarming, but, as you go through life, you will find some things that are generally frightening — such as investment moves that are misdirected or go awry. Here are some potentially scary investment moves to avoid: • Investing too aggressively • Investing too conservaRE/MAX tively — You can’t invest Lake Shore Realty with no risk.

Keep in mind, though, that diversification\can’t guarantee a profit or protect against loss. • Chasing “hot” investments — By the time you hear about a “hot” investment, it will probably already be cooling off. • Trading too frequently — If you’re con-

stantly buying and selling investments to maximize your profits, you may end up actually minimizing your success. • Starting too late — The earlier you start saving and investing for your goals, the better your chances of attaining them. • Taking a “time out” from investing nnn
