Pick up next week’s paper for Veterans Day promotion On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918, the guns went silent at the end of World War I, the “war to end all wars.” Sadly, America has had to sacrifice its best young men and women many times since in the defense of freedom. A week from Friday will be Veterans Day, 2011. Yes it will be 11/11/11. In an effort to help Reggie Langford, who went around all of Ottawa County securing a special discount for Veterans on Veterans Day, The Beacon will be running a number of ads for many of our local businesses in next week’s edition. Those businesses that include a special discount for veterans in their ad will also be helping us help the vets. $1 per column inch of every ad will go to the Wounded Warriors Project. For those business folks who are reading this, we hope you will participate and help us honor our veterans. Thanks. nnn

RECORDS n COMMENTARY

The Beacon

Obituaries James Allen

ments will be announced by Gerner-WolfWalker Funeral Home & Crematory, Port Clinton.

Died Oct. 31, 2011 James F. Allen, 83, of Port Clinton, died Monday, Oct. 31, at Edgewood Manor Nursing Home, Port Clinton. Arrange-

Betty Leonard Feb. 7, 1923 — Oct. 25, 2011

A recent endorsement of a Port Clinton mayoral candidate ended by stating that the candidate “gives credit where credit is due,” so let’s do that.

Parsons Elena Bryn Parsons was born May 6, 2011, to Ben and Laura Parsons. She was 7 lbs. 6 oz. and 20 inches long and welcomed home by big brother Caden. Maternal grandparents are Celia L. Erebia, Port Clinton, and the late Federico Erebia, Lakeworth, Fla. Paternal grandparents are Joan Parsons, Upper Arlington, and Jim Parsons and Norma Selders, Gahanna.

The endorsement pointed to a solution to a resident’s sewer problem. It was solved with the Safety Service Director Tracy Colston’s help. He is quick to respond to problems brought to his attention. Give credit where credit is due to Mayor Tester for appointing Tracy to that position. The endorsement also states the candidate has a “vision”. His “vision” is the result of Mayor Tester hiring URS to develop a master plan for the Waterworks property and asking developer Larry Dillon to provide additional input in development of the master plan. The master plan now encompasses not only the Waterworks property but all of downtown and surrounding areas. Give credit where credit is due to Mayor Tester and “her vision”.

Sound Off Yes on Issue 2 I speak from eight years of serving on Port Clinton City Council when I say: vote yes on Issue 2. City officials have a job to do yet unfortunately, the existing collective bargaining environment has made it difficult to operate efficiently and allow city managers to manage. Good labor/ management relations are important, but they are only part of the environment. Most importantly, the city must be able to meet the needs of the residents by providing the services that are expected and paid for by the amount of tax dollars the community can afford. The city’s employees and elected officials serve the residents’ needs, not the other way around. Senate Bill 5 was written to correct many errors created when the pro-labor collective bargaining laws were forced through the Legislature in the 1980s, and return some balance to the dysfunctional labor negotiation process that exists today. This process has become so distorted from reality and common sense that money, time and effort is wasted. Things like giving raises based on merit are commonplace in the private work force, and Senate Bill 5 brings this to the table, but public employee unions say no. SB5 brings much-needed transparency and public input into the contract negotiation process. SB5 requires mediators to be qualified to mediate and arbitrators to arbitrate based on the reality of today and not on what could be tomorrow. After coming up for air from the deluge of anti-SB5 hyperbole, remember that we, the working class of Ohio,

The endorsement mentions accomplishments. Looking around the City reveals that major infrastructure improvements are being undertaken. Work is underway in areas needing renovation with some projects already completed. The east end of town has seen sewer and waterline upgrades and streets resurfaced. Fulton Street work is ongoing and Sixth Street is scheduled for next year. Give credit where credit is due to Mayor Tester and her ability to secure substantial grant money to bring this work about. Perry Street and Lakeshore Drive have been repaved. Sidewalks have been installed on Buckeye Boulevard. Downtown improvements continue as dollars are available. The list goes on. The important thing is that this hard work by Mayor Tester benefits all who live and work in Port Clinton. Give credit where credit is due, indeed!

On November 8th Give Credit where Credit is due and re-elect Mayor Tester. Paid for by Mark Coppeler 326 W. 4th Street, Port Clinton, Ohio 43452

are for the most part non-unionized, while the vast majority of public employees are. Therefore, the claim that the working man will be harmed by SB5 is false. In this case, the “corporate giant” the unions are demonizing and railing against is you, the Ohio taxpayer. Keeping SB5 on the books will keep public employees employed, (while probably putting a few union officials out of work). It’s all about money and it’s your money, your tax dollars that should be spent on infrastructure projects and not on paid lunch hours or heavily subsidized health care coverage. I strongly urge you to vote yes on Issue 2. John Folger Port Clinton

Veterans to be honored at November event

Veterans have been invited to participate in the first area Stand Down event on Thursday, Nov. 10, at the Bellevue VFW. Sponsored by the VFW Post 1238, NorthCoast Jobs Connection and WSOS Community Action Commission, the event will feature an opening ceremony with Color Guard, guest speakers, various veteran

service providers, and a closing ceremony with a bagpipe tribute to veterans. Aimed at connecting veterans who may be experiencing difficulties in housing with appropriate services, the event begins at 9 a.m. at the VFW hall located at 6104 U.S. 20, Bellevue, and ends at 2 p.m. The presentation of the colors will be promptly

at 9 a.m. Veterans who attend the event will be asked to show their DD214 papers. Information booths will feature services in the following areas: medical, financial, employment, housing, veterans’ benefits, notary public services and several other social services. Also, the Dayton VA Mobile Healthcare Clinic will be on site dur-

ing the event to assist veterans with health concerns. Several other local community service-providers will be available to assist with a variety of needs. Free breakfast and lunch will be provided to all who attend. Transportation also is available by calling Jeni at 419-898-2089.

WSOS

Appointments taken now for heating assistance Residents who may need assistance paying their heating bills may make an appointment now to file that application. The 2011-12 Emergency Home Energy Assistance Program runs from Nov. 1 to March 31 and appointments to apply for assistance with heating bills are being accepted now at the WSOS offices. This year’s program remains the same as last year’s with income limits and the amount of assistance per household: $750 for those who use propane and up to $450 depending on electric and heating source for others. EHEAP provides emergency assistance to income-eligible residents to help them maintain their heating source by making a one-time payment of their heating bills. To receive assistance, a household must meet

the income guidelines and have received a disconnect notice or have less than a 10day supply of bulk fuel. Income-eligible residents are those with incomes up to 200 percent of the federal poverty income guidelines, which amounts to $29,420 for a two-person household or $44,700 for a four-person household. Households that do not have an emergency may receive assistance with heating bills from regular Home Energy Assistance Program. This program also provides a one-time per heating season assistance. However, applicants must file their own applications. WSOS can provide the applications and can assist applicants with the forms. HEAP operates also until March 31. Currently, Columbia Gas is conducting a program for its customers in partnership

with WSOS. This means that residents who are Columbia Gas customers can get help with their bills through the Columbia Gas program and EHEAP. WSOS will also enroll eligible applicants in the PIPP Plus program. PIPP Plus targets customers of most heating utility companies, except for small companies who are at or below 150 percent of the federal poverty guidelines. Gas and electric customers will pay no more than $10 or 6 percent, whichever is greater, of the gross monthly household income each month. Those households that are entirely electric will pay $10 or 10 percent, whichever is greater. This payment is to be made each month for the entire year. Once payments are on time and in full, they no long owe rest of that month’s billed amount,

and payments made on time and in full for 24 straight months means all arrearages will be eliminated. Customers will be dropped from the program if they miss payments or do not reverify their income each year. At the time of re-verification, the customer will have one billing cycle to make up any missed payments. If that does not happen, the customer will be dropped and the entire debt will be due immediately. Also, customers also must notify the company if their income changes and they become ineligible for the program. Call 1-888-441-4327 now for an appointment for EHEAP assistance.

Danbury Board of Education My name is Timothy Mackey and I am a 1983 graduate of Danbury High School. After graduating from Danbury I attended Kent State University and the University of Toledo receiving degrees in Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering.

Nantucket Scallop Season kicks off November 1. Foley Fish will be there harvesting the world’s sweetest scallops!

www.bassettsmarket.com

Nantucket Cape Scallops

There are many bay scallops available but none are nearly as sweet, rich or tender as Nantucket Capes. Nantucket Cape Scallops are harvested annually between November and April. These scallops are best when prepared simply to allow their natural sweetness to shine. Nantucket Capes command a premium price but we believe they are worth every penny.

Baked Nantucket Cape Scallops Serves 4-6

Nantucket Cape Scallop Sauté Serves 4

1 1/2 lbs. Nantucket Cape scallops 2 tablespoons butter, melted 1/2 cup crushed Ritz crackers 1 tablespoon dry vermouth Preheat oven to 450°. Place scallops in a baking dish. Melt butter and pour over scallops. Cover with a light coating of Ritz cracker crumbs and sprinkle with dry vermouth. Bake for 6-10 minutes.

1 lb. Nantucket Cape scallops 2 tablespoons oil 2 tablespoons butter Preheat non-stick sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add tablespoon oil and 1 tablespoon butter. Add half the scallop and sear quickly for 1-2 minutes. Remove to warm platter. Add remaining oil and butter to pan and sear remaining scallops. Serve immediately.

Riverview honors 140th patient discharged from rehab In honor of its 140th year of “Caring for the Community,” Riverview HealthCare Campus is celebrating the 140th discharged patient from its Rehab program. Dorothy Lully, of Port Clinton, was treated to a special cake and balloons and a gift certificate from the Riverview Auxiliary on Thursday, Oct. 13, just before she left to go home from her rehabiliation stay at Riverview. Lully was born in Caribou, Maine, to Roseanna and Archie Theriault. She has one sister Marie. Dorothy met her husband Walter at a roller rink in Caribou when he was in the Army Air Corps. Three months later, they married and started their family. They had eight children: Dorothy Ann, Richard, David, Judy, Archie, Fred, Debbie and Christopher. Walter finished his term in the armed forces and became an iron worker and helped to build the first Memorial Bridge in Delaware. As their children were growing up,

Dorothy was very busy keeping house and cooking. Her oldest daughter, Dorothy Ann met a serviceman from Ohio in a restaurant. They later married and her parents came to visit the newlyweds here in Oak Harbor. Both Dorothy and Walter fell in love with this area. They loved the lake and took lots of vacations here throughout the years, until Walter’s passing in 1991. Dorothy remained in Maine until the three girls, who by this time all lived in Ottawa County, encouraged her to move to Port Clinton. Dorothy gave in to their pleas in 2004. Dorothy said she feels that Riverview’s Rehab Department has helped her gain back her independence. She had little use of her left leg when leaving the hospital and now she can walk confidently. She is anxious to go home and see all of her friends and resume her normal activities. Riverview HealthCare Campus specializes in occupational, physical and speech therapies and is currently adding an additional six private rooms to the Rehab Center.

Caregivers’ Support Group begins Marilyn Fine, LSW, will facilitate an ongoing caregivers’ support group at 2 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 8, at The Vineyard on Catawba’s Community Room. All caregivers are invited to share their experiences with others to help manage stress, reduce the feeling of isolation and recognize that they are not alone. Call The Vineyard at 419-797-3100 for information.

Mental Health NOW is YOUR time to QUIT Board hands out awards Thursday, November 17 Choose One of Two Sessions To Help You Quit Smoking Noon-3pm & 6-9pm

Hypnosis works!

David S. Prudhomme has a proven track record for helping people just like you STOP SMOKING FOREVER! A study presented October 22, 2007 at the annual meeting of the American College of Chest Physicians found that Hypnosis is: • More than twice as effective as quitting “cold turkey”. • Over three times as effective as nicotine replacement therapy. “YES, it’s true. I’m a nonsmoker. I was smoking 2&1/2 packs a day. I tried to quit smoking several times with medication, but it only made me feel tired and depressed, and I was only able to cut back on smoking not quit. Then my doctor suggested hypnosis to quit smoking. I called the number and spoke with David, he was very confident that I would walk out a non-smoker. I thought on it for a couple of weeks, and then set up my appointment. I am proud to say I have been a non-smoker since 3/12/2009. Thanks to David Prudhomme and hypnosis I couldn’t have done it without him. Thank you!” -- Jody A

“I came to you to stop smoking and also for anxiety. I would like the world to know how much you have helped me, I am no longer a smoker, no urges to smoke, no anxiety. I feel WONDERFUL. I am in control of my life for the first time in many years. This has been the most rewarding experience and so unlike what I expected. David you are awesome!!! There are no adequate words to describe how much I appreciate what you have helped me to become, A NEW NONSMOKER, RELAXED, ANXIETY FREE, HAPPY AND ALL WITHOUT TAKING ANY MEDICATION. Thank You.” -- Wanda Keller

These special Great American Smokeout small group sessions are only $250 per person. If you prefer a private, individual Stop Smoking session, those are $450. Sign up your friends and STOP SMOKING together. You will be glad you did! Session size is limited; call or email NOW to reserve your seat.

PC Schools announce Flagship Award winners The Flagship Awards are part of Port Clinton City School District’s recognition program to honor parents, community members, staff and students that help the district fulfill its motto of “Proudly Charting a Course for Success.” At its September meeting, the Port Clinton Board of Education recognized the following with Flagship Awards: Mark Harnisch, First Mate Award (Parents) At the home football game on Sept. 9 against Genoa, one of the electrical boxes on a light pole began to smoke. When school district officials were made aware of the problem, they went over to examine the situation, only to have Harnisch close behind. Harnisch, a faithful PC fan, was there watch the game and cheer on the Redskins. When asked his opinion of what was happening, he responded that it was probably a ballast, and it would burn out soon and stop smoking. As they monitored the situation, the ballast continued to smoke, the entire light pole was shut off. As a stepladder was brought out and the fire department arrived, Harnisch went into action. Off duty from his job at AT Emmett, he climbed the ladder and spent several minutes making sure that the problem was only a ballast. After identifying the problem, he cut the appropriate wires and returned power to the remaining lights on the pole. Because of his quick thinking and dedication, the lights only had to be turned off for a few minutes and the game continued on. The board recognized Mark for his willingness to go above and beyond and presented him with a

Flagship First Mate Award. Ralph Moore, Captain Award (Staff) Moore was hired as the Port Clinton High School Principal in 2006 and his dedication to the district will leave a lasting legacy. Under his leadership, PCHS has achieved the “Excellent” rating on the Ohio Graduation Test for the past six years. It was his proven record with student achievement at PCHS that made Moore a prime candidate for his new position at the Ohio Department of Education. Besides academics, Moore worked to increase school pride in athletics. In 2006, he spearheaded a football strategic plan, putting together a team of community members, alumni and coaches to rebuild the Redskin football program. The group, Redskin Rebuild, has worked together with the coaching staff to rebuild the Redskin football team from 23 members in 2006 to more than 40 taking the field on Friday nights in 2010. Volunteers were organized to refurbish True-Lay stadium stands, locker rooms, press boxes and ticket booths increasing pride for both players and fans. Moore and the Rebuild Committee were also successful in raising donations to build a new weight room at True-Lay stadium that is utilized by all student athletes. This weight room, and the new-found pride in PC football and athletics, is a direct result of Moore’s vision and will be his legacy to decades of PC student-athletes. For the aforementioned outstanding achievements, Moore was presented with a Flagship Captain Award.

The Sutton Center is hosting a new collection of still-life sketches in the gallery operated by the Port Clinton Artists’ Club. Club member and local artist Rosemary Schramm guided the classes that were held for three consecutive months. Schramm began the instruction by discussing the fundamentals of drawing and by introducing basic shapes like triangles, ovals, cylinders and circles, and then gradually adding depth to the subject with shading and adding and subtracting lines. Using dramatic lighting, she demonstrated how light plays on the surface of an object to bring the three-dimensional illusion onto a two-dimensional

piece of paper. “It was so uplifting to see the drawings come alive no matter what level of drawing skill each artist has,” said Schramm. In addition to the Sketches from Still Life display, the Sutton Center Gallery includes art created by Port Clinton Artists’ Club members, which is available for sale. The gallery features oil, watercolor and acrylic paintings, batik, copper enamels, pencil drawings and mixed media. The gallery, at 1854 Perry St., is located next to Common Grounds Deli and is open to the public. For information about the Club, visit www. portclintonartistsclub.com.

ENFORCEMENT from 1A with detectives and court representatives. “It’s extremely eye-opening learning how each of the agencies interact with each other,” said Amy Drummer, one of this year’s class-members. “It’s almost like the spokes of a wheel.” Drummer said though she grew up with respect for law enforcement, seeing the issues that face today’s officers — like protecting the border — gives her a new perspective. “It’s just a completely different world than when I was growing up,” she said. “I’m kind of in awe of our local law enforcement.” Lisa Bodi, another class member and physics teacher at Port Clinton High School, said she signed up for the academy to enrich her classes, which include forensics. When asked what she was looking forward to most, she was quick to respond: “CSI night.” Another activity many in the class look forward to is a trip to the shoot house at Camp Perry. There the students will get hands-on training with 9 mm simulated ammunition — paint balls that fit into gins that look like the weapons the Sheriff ’s Office uses — in a simulated environment. “It’s the best form of training,” Levorchick said. “It’s not just encountering paper downrange.” According to the sheriff, the handson classes seem to be the most popular with the students. And though this is the first year for the academy, he wants to see it grow and become an annual program. “We’ll learn from this year and try to make it better in years to come,” he said. To join the academy, citizens are required to pass a background check. For information, call the Sheriff ’s Office at 419-734-4404.

Redskins finish 5-5, still have work to do BY JOHN SCHAFFNER Publisher There appears to be a definite split in the football power rankings of the Sandusky Bay Conference. Clyde has now won five straight conference titles. Huron and Oak Harbor make up the second tier of SBC football powers. Then comes the rest of the pack. For a long time, the Port Clinton Redskins were on the bottom tier. Now they have clawed their way back to the middle of the pack with back to back 3-4 conference records. The power split became obvious last Friday night as the Clyde Fliers, on their way to the State Playoffs again, bludgeoned the Redskins 48-6 on their home

field. “Clyde is a very good team,” said Redskin Coach Toby Hammond on Tuesday. “I was proud that the kids played hard. “We beat the teams we should have and lost to the teams that were better than us,” Hammond said of the season. “We’ve caught up to some teams but have a ways to go to catch up with Oak Harbor, Clyde and Huron.” The Redskins have a goodly number of seniors who played their final football game at Clyde last Friday night. “This senior class was one of the most successful classes have had in a while. Most of them deserve recognition by all the time they put into the program,” coach said.

Redskin runner Diante Laurel keeps his focus upfield as he tries to break away from the Clyde defense.

Obviously, one of the items on Hammond’s mind is how to make the program rise from here. “Obviously, the offseason weight room is vital for continued improvement,” he said. There is no magic wand to wave to become good … you have to work for it and you have to deserve to win.” After a pair of 5-5 seasons, and after eight years of recruiting the halls of both the High School and the Middle School to find players who want to play, the next step is to break through to a winning season and contention in the SBC. Mentally, Redskin football players now know that they “can win.” The next step is for them to “expect to win” every time they

step on the field. That would be a quantum leap. “We have a way to go to catch

up to those top three teams,” said Hammond, whose planning for the 2012 season begins now.

Rockets close the season 6-4 after win over Perkins BY J. PATRICK EAKEN Oak Harbor scored the first three touchdowns, and then held on to defeat Perkins in a Sandusky Bay Conference encounter on the Rocket’s field, 36-21. The Rockets close the season 6-4 overall and 5-2 in the SBC. Oak Harbor finished 11th in its Division IV region, three places out of a playoff spot. Quarterback Brian Mallernee completed 12-of-19 passes to five different receivers for 138 yards and two touchdowns. Running back Mark Konieczny ran for 86 yards on 21 carries and two touchdowns, and Mallernee scored one rushing touchdown himself. Konieczny finished the season with 1,394 net rushing yards on 212 carries (6.6 per carry) and 11 touchdowns, and Brian Mallernee completed 88-of-171 passes for 1,188 yards and 14 touchdowns. Friday night, Konieczny scored

first on a 10-yard touchdown pass from Mallernee, and J.J. Rathbun added the conversion kick, to put Oak Harbor up 7-0 with 6:08 remaining in the first quarter. Konieczny then scored on a 2-yard run, and Mallernee ran for the two-point conversion to give the Rockets its 15-0 lead with 3:08 remaining in the first. Oak Harbor opened its lead to 22-0 on a 16-yard run by Konieczny on the first play of the second quarter, and Rathbun added the conversion with 11:57 remaining until halftime. But, Perkins scored with 6:57 remaining. Holden Stacy added the conversion kick. Mallernee then tossed a 13-yard touchdown pass to brother Joey Mallernee with 4:13 remaining until halftime, and behind Rathbun’s kick, the Rockets were again up three touchdowns, 29-7. Benkey scored on an 8-yard touchdown pass from Tony Didion with 18 seconds remaining

Danbury drops league game against Hilltop BY J. PATRICK EAKEN Cody German scored on an 18-yard run with 2:34 remaining in the third quarter to bring Danbury to within one touchdown, 30-24, against Hilltop Friday night. But Hilltop scored 20 points in the fourth quarter for a 50-30 victory over the Lakers in a Toledo Area Athletic Conference matchup at Biro Field. Hilltop improves to 4-6 overall and 2-5 in the TAAC while the Lakers close the season at 3-7 overall and 1-6 in the league. After opening the season 3-1, Danbury finished with six straight losses. Despite that, this team set school records, including most points in a year (268), most offensive yards gained in a year (3,703), most receptions in a season (62 by Cory Schenk), and most receiving yards gained in a season (1,024 by Schenk). Schenk scored eight touchdowns on pass receptions and had one two-point conversion catch. As a team, this year’s Lakers piled up 3,703 total yards, including 2,082

rushing and 1,621 passing. Senior quarterback Lucas Kennedy finished the season with 2,887 total yards. He ran for 1,266 yards on 177 attempts (7.1 per carry), 15 touchdowns, and nine two-point conversions. He also completed 108-of-206 passes for 1,621 yards, 11 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions. Against Hilltop, Kennedy completed 18-of-28 passes for 280 yards, but he had two intercepted by Hilltop. Kennedy also ran for 148 yards on 17 carries. Friday night, in a game where both teams scored in every quarter, it was the Lakers that hit the scoreboard first. Senior quarterback Lucas Kennedy scored on a 34-yard run with 7:59 remaining in the first quarter and he added the two-point conversion run to push Danbury to an 8-0 lead. But Hilltop’s Brandon Semer scored on a 29-yard touchdown run and Miklo Abner added the two-point conversion to tie the game at 8-all with 3 minutes remaining in the opening stanza. Hilltop quarterback Justin

Grapengeter then tossed a 7-yard touchdown pass to Billy Wagner, and then Grapengeter found a Hilltop player in the end zone for two more points to put the visitors up 16-8 with 10:21 remaining until halftime. Kennedy scored on a 1-yard run with 6:04 remaining until halftime, and then threw a conversion pass to German to knot the game again at 16-all. Hilltop added the final first half score on a 1-yard run by Somer with 2:37 remaining, and Somer added the conversion run, giving the visitors a 24-16 lead at intermission. Hilltop then stretched its lead to two touchdowns as Grapengeter threw a 14-yard scoring pass to Wagner, but the conversion failed, leaving the visitors with a 30-16 lead with 7:30 remaining in the third quarter. Danbury’s defense scored two points on safety with 4:02 remaining, and then German ran for his 18-yard touchdown in the third. That was before Hilltop’s offense broke loose. Hilltop scored three times: on

an 8-yard run by Abner just 6 seconds into the final quarter, on a 1-yard run by Semer with 8:50 remaining and on an 80-yard run by Abner with 2:37 remaining. Semer added a two-point conversion run after the first touchdown, and on the other two Hilltop’s conversion kick failed. Danbury scored its final touchdown with 7:37 remaining on a 1-yard run by Kennedy. Danbury piled up 499 total yards, including 280 passing and 219 rushing, and the Lakers had 17 first downs — eight rushing and nine passing. Schenk caught 12 passes for 182 yards and German had six catches for 98 yards. German also ran for 57 yards on 10 carries and Schenk had one carry for 14 yards. Next to Schenk’s record-setting season, Brandon Bahnsen was Kennedy’s next in line as top receivers, catching 15 passes for 268 yards and two touchdowns. German caught 22 passes for 226 yards, Taylon Molnar had seven catches for 75 yards, Jim Chamberlin had one catch for 16 yards,

and freshman Caleb Berger had one catch for 12 yards. German had 301 yards rushing on 46 carries, Molnar had 253 yards on 66 carries, Bahnsen had 143 yards on 25 carries, Ben Adams had 41 yards on 12 carries, Cooper Eller had 36 yards on 10 carries, James Dorko had 17 yards on two carries, Schenk had 15 yards on three carries, Gast had 6 yards on three carries, and Gerber had 4 yards on one carry. The Lakers opened the season with a 43-24 win at Fostoria St. Wendelin, a 50-6 rout over Toledo Woodward and a 40-27 TAAC win over Cardinal Stritch Catholic. The second quarter was the only period where Danbury outscored its opponents over the stretch of the season, by a 98-90 count. Losses were to Sandusky St. Mary, 42-13, Edon, 64-34, Toledo Christian, 35-16, Northwood, 52-14, Ottawa Hills, 34-22, and Gibsonburg, 30-6. Edon, Northwood, and Ottawa Hills, all TAAC teams, are continuing their seasons in the playoffs.

COMMENTARY

Thursday, November 3, 2011 3B

By KAREN COFFIN

Coffin’s Corner

A parent’s primary job

The vast majority of parents involved in youth sports try the best they know how to help their children. They want their kids to have fun, learn good character traits and have a positive experience when playing a sport. In the last few years, sport parents have made the news for the wrong reasons: fighting with other parents, verbally and physically abusing officials, harassing coaches and putting too much pressure on their children. These people are not the majority. They are ones who have lost perspective about what’s important. They’re teaching some very bad lessons, but the bottom line is that they are damaging their children. The “winning at all costs” mentality carries a very high cost indeed. It’s not the parent’s job to endorse that mentality; but to prevent it. A parent’s primary job is to support their child. This responsibility has many facets and some are easier than others. Providing the support of basic physical needs, like feeding, doing laundry, making schedules and providing transportation is an ongoing commitment. It can drive parents nuts as home life can end up revolving around getting all these things done smoothly. They are actually the “easier” tasks because they can be put on a “to do” list. The frazzle factor is high, but the ones most affected are the parents. The truly long-term responsibilities involve paying attention to what is happening to the player. One is to watch out for injuries. Pay attention to pain. Pain is different from the muscle soreness that often

accompanies athletic participation. “Overuse” injuries are a big concern in kids. Playing one sport exclusively all year round is an invitation to an overuse injury. Performing a skill, like throwing a curve ball, before the elbow is developed fully, can do permanent damage. Not getting enough rest causes problems. Parents have the main responsibility to teach and expect good behavior from their kids. Back up the coach, school or league if a behavior problem results in consequences for your child. It’s very hard to do and your first impulse may be to intervene on behalf of your child, questioning the rule, the infraction and the severity of the punishment. Be mindful of what lesson you are teaching by your reaction to the situation. Leave the coaching to the coach! Yelling advice from the stands doesn’t help anybody. Helping your child practice does, as long as you aren’t contradicting what the coach teaches. Remember, the game is for the kids, not the adults. Criticizing coaches is the new national pastime, in my opinion. Please be careful not to destroy your child’s respect for their own coach. Each child is different, and parents know their own child best. Watch for your player’s emotional health by noticing a change of any kind in their behavior, especially a negative change. Notice differences in sleep patterns or eating habits. Pay attention if a “talker” turns quiet. Expect tears when something goes bad. Deal with them gently. Frequent tears may mean something else. Warning flags about emotional

damage might be outbursts of anger while playing, resisting going to practice, unrelenting irritability, over-reaction to mistakes, constant complaining about coaches or teammates, and loss of commitment or effort. (Yes, I know this describes about all teenagers: a development time fraught with roller-coaster emotions, so it can be difficult to discern real problems, but pay attention.) Communication and understanding are the keys if you are worried about your child’s emotional health. Talk to your child. Talk to other adults who can help if there is a bad situation that needs to be addressed. Generally, the culprit is too much pressure. It can come from many sources, coaches, other kids, media or even the player themselves. Expectations equal pressure! A player worried about not living up to expectations feels pressure. Fear of failure and the repercussions are hard enough for an adult to deal with, let alone a child. The very best thing parents can do to help kids experience the enjoyment and personal growth that can come from playing sports, is to let them know, by your words and deeds, that you love them unconditionally. nnn Thanks to Margy VanLerberghe, Ph.D., for consultation on this column.

Financial Focus

Improve your financial picture during ‘open enrollment’ Late fall marks the beginning of the holiday season, which probably means that you’ll have a lot going on over the next couple of months. However, busy as you are, you’ll want to take the time to review your employee benefits package, since November also is a popular month for employers to offer open enrollment. And the decisions you make now could have a big impact on your financial outlook for years to come. So, if you are in an open enrollment period, here are some steps you may want to take: • Boost your 401(k) contributions. It’s almost always a good idea to put in as much as you can, up to the contribution limit, in your 401(k) or similar retirement plan. After all, you typically contribute pre-tax dollars, so the more you put in, the lower your taxable income. Also, your money can grow on a tax-deferred basis, which means it has the potential to grow faster than an investment for which you paid taxes every year. At the very least, contribute enough to earn your employer’s match, if one is offered. For example, if you work for an organization that will match 50 percent of everything you put in up

to, say, 6 percent of your salary, then you should contribute 6 percent of your salary — which is like getting a three percent raise. • Rebalance your 401(k) portfolio. You may have a dozen or more investment options in your 401(k). Ideally, you’ll want to spread your money among these options in a way that’s appropriate for your risk tolerance, time horizon and long-term goals. But over time, your 401(k) portfolio can become “unbalanced,” even if you made no changes. For example, if you’ve invested in a couple of aggressivegrowth accounts, and these accounts have gained significantly in value, they may now be taking up a greater percentage of your portfolio than you had originally intended, exposing you to more risk than you’d like. Consequently, if your plan doesn’t offer an automatic rebalance option, you may need to rebalance your portfolio by moving some of your assets into less aggressive vehicles. • Be cautious about adding company stock. You may be loyal to your employer, but try not to hold too much company stock in your 401(k). After all, your company, like all businesses, may go through ups

and downs, and if your portfolio is dominated by this single stock, you may experience considerable volatility. And if your company matches your 401(k) contributions with its own stock, you may want to invest all your own money in vehicles other than company stock. • Take all the insurance that’s offered. Typically, when employers offer life insurance as a benefit, it’s at little or no cost to you, so you’ll probably want to take all that’s offered. However, this amount may still be less than what you really need to fully protect your family, so you may well need to purchase an individual policy to supplement your employer’s coverage. And always be aware if your employer reduces or eliminates the insurance that’s offered as an employee benefit, because you’ll then need to adjust the policy that you’ve bought outside work. You can review and improve your financial picture during open enrollment — so take advantage of this opportunity. nnn This article was written by Edward Jones for use by your local Edward Jones Financial Advisor.

OHIO ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ASSOCIATION

Marine Mechanics program earns OEDA excellence award The Ohio Economic Development Association recognized the Marine Mechanics Skills for Life program with an Excellence in Workforce Development Innovation award Oct. 27 at its annual conference in Columbus. The Marine Mechanics program, which is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year, is operated by WSOS Community Action Commission, in partnership with the Ottawa County Improvement Corporation, Penta Adult Career Center and local marine businesses. “It feels awesome to get this award,” said Renee Goldstein of Penta. “It is exciting to see all of our efforts come together and get recognized for all the years of focus on this sector initiative.” In 2010, the Silgan Plastics Transition Center was a finalist for an OEDA award also, but did not win. The Marine Mechanics program has trained more than 130 area residents since its inception in outboard and inboard marine motor repairs. Due to the program, Volvo Penta of the Americas moved its training facility to Oak Harbor. In addition, the partners recently launched a class to provide advanced marine mechanics

The group wants to hear from other female Veterans in Northwest Ohio and encourages them to attend and share their stories. They can email Joy Skarupa at joy@damesbond.com. Dames Bond is a professional networking community for women and was established to help women succeed, personally and professionally. The event is 6 to 8 p.m. Friday, Nov. 11, at the Ohio Veterans Home, 3416 Columbus Ave, Sandusky. The cost is $5 for nonmembers or free for female veterans.
