First food and wine fair Saturday at Bassett’s Vendors will be on site with samples and coupons Now that Halloween has come and gone, it’s time to start thinking about the coming Holiday season. In line with that idea, The Beacon, along with WPCR Internet radio and Bassett’s Market have partnered to present the first annual North Coast Holiday Food & Wine Fair from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 6, at Bassett’s Market.

Some 20 Bassett’s vendors will

be providing free food samples and special coupons all day long at this special event. Admission will be one (or more) canned or non-perishable food item to be donated to the Ottawa County Holiday Bureau and the “Fish and Loaves” organization in Bellevue.

Among the vendors providing displays and samples of their products will be: Kaito Foods,

Tank’s Meats, Gerber, NOO Beverage, Keystone, Keebler, CocaCola, Euclid Fish, Gentle Bens, Nash Brothers/Trading, Murray Brokerage, Paramount Coffee, Heidelberg, Hammer, Heineman’s and Stanley Meats. There will also be tables featuring other retailers located in the Knoll Crest Shopping Center, including Desdemona’s and Newport Dry Goods.

Election results are in

By ANGIE ADAIR Editor The state will see some changes after Tuesday’s election but for Ottawa County, things remain mostly the same.

Ottawa County Commissioner Jim Sass retained his seat after a challenge from Genoa minister Tim Davies.

“You’re stuck with me for another four years,” said Sass to cheers from the small crowd gathered at Port Clinton Yacht Club Tuesday.

Sass, a Democrat from Portage Township, defeated Davies 8,628 to 6,912 according to unofficial results from the Ottawa County Board of Elections.

“I’m just relieved and glad it’s over. I’m ready to get back to work,” said Sass.

JoEllen Regal, who ran unopposed to keep her position as county auditor, dramatically wiped her brow as the results came in.

“It was a touch campaign,” she joked.

It takes hundreds of volunteers to sort and pack the thousands of food and other essential items that are donated to the Holiday Bureau every year for individuals and families right here in Ottawa County. The all-volunteer-operated Ottawa County Holiday Bureau provides direct assistance to people in need during the Christmas holiday season. Food on the table everyday, mittens and hats for our kids, fresh fruits and vegetables — what many of us take for granted — isn’t what every household experiences. But, in mid-December, because of heartfelt giving by residents, schools and businesses in Ottawa County, individuals and families in need are given food, daily living items and toys, mittens and hats. In partnership with the Salvation Army and Toys for Tots, in 2009 the Holiday Bureau brightened the lives of 914 families — 2,827 people, 50 percent of whom are under 18 — right here in Ottawa County. That total is 7 percent of the population.

Governor John Kasich (R) — 49.33% Ted Strickland (D) — 46.74%

Attorney General

How to help:

DeWine, Mike (R) — 47.80% Richard Cordray (D) — 45.98%

Auditor Dave Yost (R) — 50.55% David Pepper (D) — 44.58%

Secretary of State Jon Husted (R) — 54.04% Maryellen O’Shaughnessy (D) — 41.09%

Celebrity Server Night

On behalf of the Port Clinton Area Business and Professional Women’s Club, we thank all who made our Sixth Annual Celebrity Server Night at Cleat’s Club Seat Grille a great success. Through the kindness of managers Tony and Trisha Weaver and Hostess Anna, we had a wonderful venue. Their wait staff, hostesses and bartenders could not have been more welcoming or helpful.

A special thank you to our “celebrity” servers, who worked hard, were good sports and dressed in their favorite athletic teams colors to make the evening a lot of fun.

Our celebrity servers were Chris Galvin of United Way, Scott Street of Street Sotheby Realty, Donna Schoonmaker of Howard Hanna Realty, Angie Adair Zam from The Beacon, Maryann Snider of The Ballet School, Commissioner Jim Sass, Commissioner Steve Arndt and Brenda Smith of RVI. We would also like to recognize Joan and Jeff Bryden who helped spread the word. This year’s addition of the scratch-off golf game was a hit with attendees.

And finally, thank you to all the generous diners, donors and BPW members who made the event a great fundraiser for BPW scholarships and all BPW programs. Bragging rights go to Chris Galvin as she was the biggest fundraiser for our 2010 event, followed by Brenda Smith and Maryann Snider!

The Terry Heise Family

To the Beacon:

I am writing this Nov. 1, before Election Day. As I write, the outcome of the election is unknown for candidates for Ohio governor and the state legislature, but I have become so frustrated with the political debate that I wanted to communicate with the people of Ottawa County in this manner.

Here are a few of the issues I want to address: • Governor’s school funding plan — Regardless who is elected governor, the new “Evidence-Based Mod-

el” must be repealed or changed.

The official state aid projection for two of Ottawa County’s school districts is a disaster, even when Governor Strickland’s plan is “fully phased in”. How many people in the area know that Port Clinton is scheduled to receive a minimum 75.8% cut in state funds with the current plan, and Danbury Local is to be reduced by 70.8 percent? These statistics are from the Legislative Service Commission printout. No school district of course can experience these kinds of cuts and expect to serve students. For many districts, the current state budget and future projections will force more pressure on local property tax payers.

• School consolidation — In the final days of the campaign, supporters of Governor Strickland attempted to persuade voters to oppose John Kasich on the issue of school consolidation. No matter who wins the governorship, people should know there will be no forced consolidation of school districts in Ohio, and neither candidate supports such a plan. Both of them have publicly expressed support for “shared services” to help reduce costs.

• Unfunded school mandates — There is a big difference between the candidates for governor and the two political parties on the issue of unfunded school mandates.

The governor’s new funding plan imposes significant new costs on local schools at a time when the actual state aid was reduced by hundreds of millions of dollars. I proposed an amendment to allow every school district in Ohio to decide whether funds were available for mandated all-day kindergarten and forced lower class sizes, but every Democrat in the Ohio House said no to my amendment. Again, regardless who is chosen to serve as governor and in the State House, we must allow local schools to save money and work toward balancing their budgets without new costly, unnecessary mandates from Columbus.

This really ought to be a bipartisan issue.

I will do my best to work with all those who may be elected this year toward a fair state budget. Let’s hope that the issues I’ve outlined here can be seriously considered in the months ahead.

Reginald Rose’s Award-winning classic drama

Adapted by Sherman Sergel

Based on the classic film, Twelve Angry Men, 12 jurors assemble to decide the fate of a 19-year-old accused of killing his father. All believe the boy is guilty except for one lone juror who begins to break down the facts of the case. Reasonable doubt arises as all the jurors reveal themselves and their prejudices until a final verdict is reached. This is American democracy at its finest.

The holidays are coming

Let’s see —this page comes out with only three weeks until Thanksgiving Nov. 25. Then, exactly a month (actually four weeks and two days) later, Christmas will come. Christmas will be on a Saturday this year. That sounds nice, doesn’t it? On Christmas Eve, Friday, Dec. 24, there will be a holiday for those of us who observe the regulated legal holidays. Then we have Saturday to celebrate the Holy Day and Sunday to get some rest before going back to work. It all sounds pretty good to me.

But first we come to Thanksgiving. It is my favorite (or at least one of my favorite) days. It is usually filled with family, friends, fun and good food. And there isn’t as much stress related to thanksgiving as there is to Christmas. I like — even love — Christmas, but lots of people really work too hard on nonessential tasks to get ready for the day. So there are many folks who are really tired and upset by the time the actual day rolls around.

On Oct. 8, I was shopping at the Birch Run Outlet mall near Frankenmuth, Mich. I was in the checkout line in a home décor store. A guy was running the cash register and talking into a phone he had plugged into his ear (so much for customer service – he didn’t even make eye contact with the folks he was waiting on.) Anyway, on the phone, perhaps to someone in the storage room at the rear of the store, he said, “Get out here and get rid of this stuff and bring Christmas out!” I assume he meant that the employee should bring out the special merchandise and Christmas decorations to put up in the store.

The phrase rang in my ears.

“Bring Christmas out!” And on Oct. 8. It sounded strange. But even then many stores were decking the halls and trimming the trees. I’ve no objection to any of that. Most of us love the lights and colors and candles and pure magic of Christmas and enjoy thinking of it in advance. But we just wish they wouldn’t start quite so early. That was 11 weeks before the big day.

Unlike many folks, I don’t object to Christmas being a time of spending some money. I don’t think that gift-giving automatically makes Christmas “too commercial.” In fact, I really enjoy receiving and giving gifts. I like a little shopping for the right gifts for people I love and, it must be admitted, that I was actually doing a little Christmas shopping when I was in the Frankenmuth area in October. Shopping early helps to keep a person organized and more stressfree. I also enjoy making gifts such as cookies or candy, etc., and that takes some advance planning But I do have a “problem” with parents and grandparents who give kids too many material things at Christmas without explaining what the holiday is all about. I had the misfortune, once, of seeing grandparents give a total overabundance of gifts to two young children. By the time the kids were finished, the living room floor was filled, literally, with presents. There was no room to walk.

The children didn’t have time to play with anything. “Put that away and open the next one,” was the constant refrain. I actually thought that was pretty sad, maybe even cruel. It didn’t look like much fun

to me. And I’m not sure that those children had been encouraged to do something for anyone else to celebrate the spirit of the holiday.

So, there was no pleasure in watching that.

To cap off this thinking about the holidays, I remind myself that it is time, maybe past time, to begin writing my annual Christmas story. I haven’t started it yet. But I’ve got an idea for a plot and that’s the toughest part. Maybe this weekend will provide the time to get started on it.

And here is a favor I want to ask of you folks who read this column.

If any of you are planning a trip to Frankenmuth and Birch Run in the next couple of weeks, I’d really be grateful if you would return a small item back to a store there. I bought the wrong size and it needs to go back for a refund. Could you take it for me? I’ll make the arrangements and also get it to your house to make it convenient for you to do this. 419-734-2753 is my phone number and it is best to catch me there in the evenings. Thanks! nnn

Oh, by the way — back to the topic of children for just one more item. A recent survey of 1,000 moms revealed that nearly 60 percent of them rarely now play board games or cards with their children.

Yet 50 percent of these same women said that playing games with parents and loved ones is among their favorite memories of childhood. This is a telling fact about our society today. We’ve moved on, it seems, from actually interacting in games with the younger generation. The children, and adults too, must be very busy texting acquaintances — too busy to do the fun things the parents enjoyed when they were young .

Do you remember playing checkers, Chinese checkers, Monopoly and various card games?

Pinochle was a favorite at our house.

But when we were too young for that we played gin rummy and Authors.

Flinch was a family favorite, too. Girls played jacks and boys played marbles — even at school at recess time. Do kids even know how to play these games today? I wonder. All I ever see happening are video games and there is precious little conversation going on during those.

weather is coming on there is a serious need for coats for both children and adults in our community.

The Salvation Army’s “Coats for Families” started Oct. 18 and runs through Dec. 31. Partnering in the project are the News-Herald, Executive Cleaners and Howard Hanna Real Estate.

Here’s how it woks: Donations of new or gently used coats are received from the community.

The used coats are cleaned by Executive Cleaners at no cost to the program. These are distributed to people who need them. Last year more than 800 coats went to local residents.

This is the 15th year that the “Coats” program has existed. Collection points are the offices of the News-Herald, Howard Hanna and the Salvation Army. You may also take coats directly to Executive Cleaners. If you take a coat there to donate, you will be given a coupon for 10 percent off your next cleaning order.

And anyone who needs a coat should stop by the Salvation Army at the Sutton Center, Suite 800 at 1854 E. Perry St., in Port Clinton.

Call 419-732-2769 if you need further information and speak with director Maureen Saponari. This is a great opportunity to get rid of the coats in your closet that you no longer wear or simply no longer fit. nnn

Marcia Jess sent a note to announce that a “Dining With Diabetes” class has been scheduled.

The class is a collaborative effort the Ottawa County Extension Office of Ohio State University and Magruder Hospital at Port Clinton. It is a three-part series from 2 to 4:30 p.m. Nov. 16, 17 and 23 and is open to those with diabetes, their caretakers and family members. It takes place at the conference room at the hospital. Cost is $25 per person or $30 per couple.

Classes will each feature three to four recipes, cooking demonstrations, meal planning and easy food preparation. Nutrition and the importance of exercise will be discussed. Materials, supplemental materials and door prizes are featured at each session. Call 419898-3631 to register. Then make payment at the first class. nnn

And here is one last item, this one about fall cooking. The newest issue of “Better Homes and Gardens” magazine, praises the hard-to-find “Northern Spy” apple as being a great apple for baking.

These old-style apples cannot be beaten for taste and texture in baking but you may have to travel a distance to find them. I don’t have to worry about that because my brother finds them for our family every year. I believe that he travels to Amherst to get them. They are wonderful.

Benefit set at Waldo Pepper’s Waldo Pepper’s is holding a special chicken dinner to benefit families of two employees. Each was affected by a separate tragedy.

Jamison Walker’s mother, Tonya Walters, was burned in a grease fire that caused her to be in ICU for about a month. She is now faced with many surgeries — and the bills that go with them — that prevent her from working.

Darnell Wheeler’s partner

of 5 years, Jason Vollmar, was crushed to death when a car he was working on fell off the jack. Jason is survived by his two children.

The benefit features a $10 chicken dinner from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 14, at Waldo Pepper’s in Knoll Crest Plaza. The full menu will not be available during the benefit. For information, call 419-3013700.

What role is left for religion?

Having left the most creative and inventive century in all of human history and now being a full decade into what has the potential of being a more creative and more inventive century, what role is left for religion in such a “brilliant and self-sufficient” humanity?

institutions Judeo-Christian and non-Judeo-Christian) does not fare much better. We have religious leaders and denomination convention delegates editing their beliefs and doctrines according to the cause of the day or their own personal passions and desires. Several denominations now follow a policy they call “bold conscience” which means all views must be accepted if the person expressing those views hold them firmly in their own conscience — even if they conflict with the most basic beliefs and doctrines of the church.

What can be said of the church and the state can as readily be said of the media and even in some areas our institutions of learner and higher education. Is the foundation of our society and its institutions built on truth or political correctness?

What then is the role of religion and why do we need it?

The dictionary defines religion as “a system of rules of conduct and laws of action based upon the recognition of belief and reverence for a superhuman power of supreme authority.” That’s a fair definition — though I would lay a greater emphasis on that Supreme Authority and the personal relationship a person believes that Supreme Authority has established with him or her and the lifestyle growing out of that relationship.

The religion a person has is that person’s connection with God through time and eternity.

And in the area of ethics and morality, there can be no ethics or morality without a foundation that a person’s religion provides. The United States history provides a dynamic example. From God’s bestowing of our inalienable rights to the foundation underlying our entire legal system, our founding fathers built our nation upon a Judean-Christian model. Each day we see the results of all the movements away from that foundation — especially when those movements usually are more politically correct and personal agenda driven than truthful.

Just for Ewe owner releases first book Gift

Bazaar Nov. 12

Book signing, holiday shopping event this weekend MARBLEHEAD — Christi’s Just for Ewe has announced the publication of “Twenty-Five for TwentyFive,” a knit and crochet book.

“It has been my lifelong ambition to pass on any information that can make one’s life or passion in life more fruitful,” said Christi Soski, proprietor of Just for Ewe. “Sharing the easiest, quickest and most economical way to accomplish the task

at hand delights me to no end.”

Patterns included in the special limited 1st edition of “Twenty-Five for Twenty-Five” were handpicked by unsuspecting customers who happened to walk into the shop when it was time for the big vote. Many had previously knitted included patterns.

Soski will be on hand to sign books at Christi’s Just for Ewe’s 24th annual Open House Nov. 5-7 in Marble-

head. Open House hours will be 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday.

HURON 20 — PORT CLINTON 0

Future looks bright despite loss to Huron

By JOHN SCHAFFNER The Port Clinton Redskins’ dream of gaining their first winning season since 1990 evaporated last Friday night, but it appears the PC football turnaround is still moving forward. They dropped a 20-0 decision to Huron last Friday, but their future looks extremely bright.

“Huron just executed a little better than we did,” said Coach Toby Hammond. “We moved it between the 20s but couldn’t punch it in.”

The Redskins finish their season at 5-5, losing their final two games and finishing 3-4 in the Sandusky Bay Conference. A major reason for Port Clinton’s improvement has been a tight core of seniors who played their last game last Friday.

“Our seniors were a big part of our success the last few years,” said Hammond. “They played valuable roles for us as starters, on special teams and on scout teams.”

Senior Derek Colston was the leader with more than 1,000 yards passing this season. He may well make the record books as one of Port Clinton’s most pro-

lific passers.

The Redskins had 57 football players on the sideline, most of them underclassmen. They could be much better next season, and Hammond knows it.

“We have a chance to be very good next year,” the coach said Tuesday. “It is up to the returning players how much better we will be.”

The common phrase for building football programs is to have players that are “bigger, stronger and faster.” When asked what his returning players must do to be very good next year, Hammond said the offseason is vital.

“We must put the time and commitment into the weight room to get bigger and stronger in order to compete in this league.”

All the way down the program, Port Clinton had successful football teams, from being able to field a JV team, to their freshmen squad, their middle school teams and an unbeaten grade school team. It has been a long haul, over 20 years. But slowly, the enthusiasm for a Redskin rebuild appears to be getting hotter.

Super Bowls wrap up season The 2010 Fall Lake Erie Flag Football season came to a close on Saturday, Oct. 30, with two exciting Super Bowl games. The Vikings and Titans faced off for the first division, with the Vikings beating the Titans 19-13.

The Super Bowl win caps off an undefeated season for the Vikings, coached by Craig Ish. “I had a fantastic group of kids who worked hard all season and it paid off on Saturday,” said Ish. This ends Ish’s third season as a LEFFL coach and his second Super Bowl appearance, losing last season to a different Vikings team.

On the other side of the field was Titans’ coach Tony Stewart,

making his fourth Super Bowl appearance. After a four and three regular season record, the Titans made their way through the playoffs to earn a spot in the championship. With all the excitement of a real NFL Super Bowl, one touchdown was all that separated the two determined teams.

The second division matched the Packers against the Falcons.

The Packers, led by secondseason coach Tom Reinhart and also undefeated in the regular season, outscored the Falcons 33 to 18. This year’s Falcons, coached by Kevin Rutledge who made his first Super Bowl appearance in that division, fin-

ished their season with seven wins and only two losses.

“Thanks to all the players, parents and coaches for making this a great season,” said Stewart, who also acts as League Administrator.

The Oak Harbor-based flag football league is sponsored by the NFL and hosts two divisions — first-, second- and thirdgraders and fourth-, fifth- and sixth-graders and is open to boys and girls. The league hosts a fall and a spring season and is led by Eric Parker, league president; Roger Parker, vice president; and Stewart. For information, visit www.nflflag.com/ website/home/leffl.

OAK HARBOR 49 — SANDUSKY ST. MARY CENTRAL CATHOLIC 6

By J. PATRICK EAKEN Oak Harbor running back Jake Scott ran for 138 yards on 20 carries and scored three touchdowns as Oak Harbor closed its campaign with a 49-6 rout over Sandusky St. Mary Central Catholic.

At 7-3, the Rockets finish just out of the playoff picture.

Scott scored the opening touchdown one a 5-yard run with 7:49 to go in the first quarter. Miles

Backus added one with the kick.

In the second quarter, Oak Harbor scored three times to take a 28-0 lead into the locker room at intermission.

It took Oak Harbor exactly 58 seconds to get on the board in the second half as Scott scored his third touchdown on an 8-yard run. It was the first of three thirdquarter Rocket touchdowns.

D.J. Everett caught a 13-yard

touchdown pass from Young with 6:37 left in the third, and A.J. Cecil had an 82-yard kickoff return with 2:38 left in the third.

Cecil’s return came after SMCC’s only score — a 6-yard touchdown pass from Alex Guerra to Demarius Harris.

The Rockets had 217 yards rushing and 79 passing, while SMCC had 72 and 126 respectively.

For Oak Harbor, Mark Koniece-

ny had 23 yards on seven carries, Davey Burkett had 22 yards on three carries, Mincheff had 15 yards on two carries, Alex Bergman had 8 yards on two carries, and Austin Weigard and Jared Chamber each had 2 yards on one carry.

Young completed 9-of-14 passes, including three to Warnke for 25 yards, three to Zach Priesman for 22 yards, one to Scott for 14

yards, one to Everett for 13 yards, and one to Konieceny for 5 yards.

Oak Harbor had 15 first downs to SMCC’s 11. The Rockets had 10 rushing, four passing, and one by penalty. The Panthers had three rushing and eight passing.

Oak Harbor converted 3-of-11 third downs and 1-of-2 fourth downs, while SMCC converted 1-of-8 third downs and 2-of-2 fourth downs.

Ask most people why it’s a good thing for kids to play sports, and the answers aren’t about numbers.

When considering special awards, make sure they really mean something.

All the kids know when something isn’t deserved.

For me, it was hard to single out individuals for honors when I spent the season emphasizing that every player was important and needed to do her best every day. I did it because it was tradition, and certain players did deserve special recognition. It meant a lot to them. I tried to avoid giving out awards just to soothe wounded egos. Self esteem is not enhanced by receiving an unearned award.

‘Elect’ investments to help pursue your goals It’s election time again, so you take time to learn about the various candidates and their positions on the issues. But you also need to make informed decisions in other areas of your life — such as when you “elect” the investments to help pursue your goals.

Actually, you can find some similarities in selecting candidates and choosing investments. Here are a few “votes” that can apply to either situation: • Vote for vision. When you vote for political candidates, you expect that they have a solid vision for what they want to accomplish. And when you put together an investment strategy, you also need a vision of the goals you’re hoping to reach — and this overall vision should help guide your moves over the years.

• Vote for potential. When you vote for candidates, you are showing your confidence in their potential to be effective

legislators. And when you choose specific investments, you are counting on their potential to help you attain your objectives. For example, when you purchase growth-oriented investments, you are anticipating that their value will grow so that you can eventually sell them and make a profit. Of course, the price of these investments will fluctuate, and if you sell when the price is down, you could lose some or all of your principal. But if you purchase quality investment vehicles, and you hold them for the long term, you may be able to “smooth out” some of the market’s volatility and take advantage of your investments’ potential.

• Vote for suitability. In choosing a candidate, you’re looking for someone who will represent your views, as well as the best interests of your community or state. And you also want to choose investments that are suitable for your individual preferences and goals. So, if you’re naturally a conser2010-2011 vative investor, you won’t want a heavy exposure to riskier investments. Or, if Presents you need a specific amount of money in a set number of years, you may want to choose an investment that offers greater protection of principal and possibly a fixed rate of return.

• Vote for clarity. Before you vote for a candidate, you’ll want to be sure you really understand his or her messages and promises. And you’ll need a similar clarity in choosing investments. Never invest in something unless you understand its risks and potential rewards.

• Vote for experience. In any election, you want to vote for someone who has the ability to carry out the office that he or she is seeking. And before you choose an investment, you should have the experience Book & Lyrics: Phil Olson necessary to evaluate the Music: Paul Olson pros and cons involved.

You can gain some of this knowledge by studying up on the investments that you’re considering, but, given the complexities of the financial world, you also may want to work with an investment professional.

Shores & Islands earns marketing honors Lake Erie Shores & Islands, the destination marketing organization for travel and tourism to Erie and Ottawa counties, was recently awarded for its advertising and marketing campaigns.

The Ohio Association of Convention and Visitors Bureaus awarded two Middy Awards to Lake Erie Shores & Islands. Awards were given for the Group Tour & Meeting Planner, a printed guide for group travel planning, and for overall Marketing Campaign, which combines advertising on television, in print and online, as well as promotional materials such as leisure and group travel planners, giveaway items, social networking sites, SHORESandISLANDS.com,

monthly email newsletter, media relations, tradeshow displays and outdoor billboards.

The Middy is the Ohio Association of Convention and Visitor Bureaus’ award of excellence, given each year to deserving members of the organization. The award is named the “Middy” after our region of the country as well as the states contiguous to Ohio.

The industry awards, which include entries from convention and visitor bureaus throughout the state, are presented to bureaus for excellence in creativity, design and effectiveness of message. The OACVB is a membership organization representing the interests of convention and visitor bureaus throughout the state.

The Ohio Travel Association recently recognized Lake Erie Shores & Islands with two Ruby Awards. A Citation of Excellence was awarded for the SHORESandISLANDS.com website, which featured many design and operational upgrades in 2010.

The most prestigious award received was the Delegates Choice Award, voted on by industry peers attending the OTA Ohio Conference on Tourism. It was given to Lake Erie Shores & Islands for the 2010 Marketing Campaign.

Now in their 13th year, the Ruby Awards, which “Recognize Uncommon Brilliance,” honor the most innovative examples of marketing by Ohio tourism entities each year.
