B-C-S considers school closings

By ANGIE ADAIR ZAM Editor The Benton-Carroll-Salem school board is considering making some big changes. During board’s regular meeting Oct. 26, a work session with school administrators was held to discuss potential school closings.

According to the board, a reduction of facilities is being considered because of reduced student

enrollment, increasing operating costs and the opportunity to reduce facility maintenance costs while maintaining or improving educational quality.

“We need to make sure we can maintain the programs we have,” said Superintendent Diane Kershaw. “We worked really hard to get to excellent and we want to remain excellent.”

But with dropping enrollment,

Kershaw says the district isn’t using its facilities to the fullest; empty and under used classrooms aren’t efficient.

“We’ve lost 200 students over the past five years,” said school board President Ron Overmyer.

“This gives us the opportunity to combine the students in fewer buildings … reducing operating costs and maintenance costs.”

The board recently laid out six

scenarios — though both Kershaw and Overmyer say nothing is certain.

The possibilities at this point are: 1. Maintain facilities as they are today; 10.1 mil levy 2. Close outlying elementary building; 9.5 mil levy 3. Close two outlying elemen-

CASA

Two stars take top spot in dance off Ottawa County CASA supporters were treated to the third annual Ottawa County Stars Dance for CASA Saturday night at the Port Clinton Elks Club.

Ottawa County Municipal Court Judge Fritz Hany and his partner, Port Clinton Mayor Debbie Hymore-Tester won the contest by raising the most money for their dance to “Born to be Wild.” The judge’s choice award went to Kami Sayre and her partner Timothy Nyman of Black Tie Dance Studio.

A sold-out crowd of nearly 240 people enjoyed dancing by local celebrities paired with professional dancers. Other locals and their teachers were: Mark Coppeler and MaryAnn Snider of The Ballet School; Jamie Beier Grant and Hank Fox of Class A Performing Arts; and Angie Adair Zam and Craig Olzsewski of Black Tie Dance Studio. Tester agreed to dance with Hany when last-minute schedul-

out literature and pushing for a petition against the possible closures and taking the superintendent to task.

“Her main approach on cutting the budget is facilities only,” the letter states, and suggests other options should be considered.

Kershaw argues that her focus is on maintaining the quality of education within the district.

“The case is we want to not cut programs, but we have to fund them,” the superintendent said. Other benefits to the possible consolidations include more interaction between students and collaboration between the teachers.

“The concern that I only care about facilities is not correct,” Kershaw said.

The parents’ group letter also gets specific as to what schools would close in each scenario and fears of Rocky Ridge on the chopping block have mom Amber Worthington concerned.

“I like the little quant school that has the history,” she said.

“You get more one on there.”

Worthington drives her firstgrader to school at Rocky Ridge every day though it’s not the closest school to the family’s home.

“Rocky Ridge in general is an awesome hometown feeling,” she said.

Officials say nothing has been decided though about what schools would close.

“There are some benefits to each building and some non benefits to each building,” Kershaw said.

In an effort to continue dialog and answer residents’ questions, officials have set up a blog, “The Rocket Rumor Mill,” on the B-C-S website, www.bcs. k12.oh.us. There questions are answered about the plans and general school operations.

“We are collecting input and information and (residents) are welcome to contact the superintendent, treasurer or any board member,” Overmyer said.

CIRCULATION AUDIT BY

Rep. Dennis Murray, who was on hand for the celebration.

Twining, from Marblehead, served as an Army Sergeant with an infantry company assigned to the 378th Infantry Regiment-95th Division. That group sailed for Europe on Aug. 10, 1944, and was sent to combat Oct. 19 of that year in France. By the end of November, the 95th had pushed its way into Germany.

In just less than three years of service to his country, Twining earned the Combat Infantryman Badge, Sharpshooter Badge for both rifle and carbine, the Army Good Conduct Medal, American Theater Ribbon, European-African-Middle Eastern Theater Campaign Ribbon with

two service stars and the World War II Victory Medal.

It was only recently brought to light that Twining should have also gotten the Bronze Star. At the end of the war, with so many soldiers returning home, many were overlooked during the discharge process. But late in 2008, the Ottawa County Veterans Service Office set out to identify local soldiers who had been missed.

During preparations for Edgewood Manor’s Veterans Day celebration, the staff found that Twining was on the list. The Bronze Star is awarded to combat service people who exhibit valor and meritorious action while protecting our country’s freedom.

Other veterans honored at Edgewood Thursday were: • Kelly Hymore — Marine Private,

WSOS

WE UNDERSTAND Apply now for heating help COMMITMENT. The 2010-11 Emergency Home Energy Assistance Program has begun and applications are being accepted at the WSOS offices at 103 S. Front St., Fremont.

This year’s program maintains the increase in the income limits set last year so that more people may be eligible for assistance. The amount of assistance per household also remains the same as last year — $600 for those who use propane — and up to $250, depending on electric and heating source.

EHEAP provides one-time assistance to income-eligible residents to help them maintain their heating source by paying some of their heating bills. Income-eligible residents are those with incomes up to 200 percent of the federal poverty income guidelines, which amounts to $22,050 for a one-person household or $44,100 for a four-person household.

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. EHEAP provides emergency assis-

tance. This means that to receive assistance, a household must meet the income guidelines and have received a disconnect notice or have less than a 10-day supply of bulk fuel.

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 with paying some heating bills. However, these applicants must file their applications themselves. WSOS can provide the applications and can assist applicants with the forms. Both EHEAP and HEAP operate until March 31.

Appointments are required for EHEAP applicants. To make an appointment for EHEAP help, call 419734-2652.

A new and improved Percentage of Income Payment Plan is also under way. This is called PIPP Plus and it makes the monthly payments for households more affordable on a year-round basis.

This program 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.

When PIPP Plus customer makes a payment on time and in full, they no long owe rest of that month’s billed amount. The customer also receives a 1/24 credit toward any old debt. 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 re-verify 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.

Customers must also notify the company if their income changes and they become ineligible for the program.

Eligible residents may enroll when they enroll in PIPP Plus for EHEAP or HEAP.

SOUND OFF n COMMENTARY

The Beacon

By VIRGINIA PARK

Beacon Bits

Classics stand the test of time

Over the past weekend I did a lot of thinking about old movies, and viewed a couple too. There are some real classics that have stood the test of time. One of my all-time favorites is “Casablanca” starring Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman.

Set in Casablanca, Morocco, the city was a jumping off place for folks trying to escape from Europe to the United States during World War II. In the movie, the almost ethereal beauty of Bergman is spellbinding. She is married to an underground leader and they must get out of Casablanca so that he can return to his work. Bogart is an American, a Casablanca bar-owner named “Rick”. He and Ilsa (Bergman) had previously met in Paris and had fallen in love after she thought her husband had been killed. The story plays itself out in the gritty, corrupt environment of Morocco.

While watching I was reminded again of the number of phrases that originated in this movie and these have come down through the ages and are a common part of our language today.

• “Play it again, Sam.” (Rick) • “Here’s looking at you kid.” (Rick), and • “We’ll always have Paris.”

There are numerous other phrases that we use frequently that have come to us from motion pictures. Think about “Gone With the Wind” and its familiar phrases still used today.

• “I don’t know nothin’ about birthin’ babies.” (Prissy) played by Butterfly McQueen • “It ain’t fittin’ (Mammy) played by Hattie McDaniel • “Frankly, me dear, I don’t give a damn.”

(Rhett Butler) played by Clark Gable.

• “I’ll think about that tomorrow.”

(Scalett O’Hara) played by Vivien Leigh),

and, of course, • “After all … tomorrow is another day.”

(Scarlett) Both “Casablanca” and “Gone With the Wind” remain strongly popular as viewers sense their greatness. I thought it would be fun to look up the stars of GWTW to see what their lives were like and what other work they did.

According to information on the Internet, Olivia DeHavilland (who planed Melanie Hamilton Wilkes) is the only one of the major actors from the film who is still alive. Born in Tokyo in 1916, she is 94 years old. Actress Alicia Rhett (who played India Wilkes) and Ann Rutherford (who played Carreen O’Hara) are still living.

About de Havilland: She has one sister, actress Joan Fontaine. Her early career was on the stage but she quickly made the change to movies and eventually starred opposite actor Errol Flynn in eight films.

She was under contract at Warner Brothers and when the studio tried to lengthen her contract without giving her more important roles, she sued Warner Brothers and won. The important decision laid down in a California Court of Appeals case is still known as the “de Havilland law.” It limits a contract to seven years unless an employee agrees to an extension period.

After the court case de Havilland signed a contract to do three movies for Paramount Pictures and these started a career that showed her greater acting capabilities. In 1946 and 1949 she won the “Best Actress” designation from the Academy Awards.

De Havilland was married twice and divorced twice and had two children. One of her good friends was Bette Davis and the two starred in “Hush, Hush, Sweet Charlotte” in 1964. She maintained a close relationship with Davis. She and her sister (Joan) have been completely estranged since 1975.

In GWTW (1939), de Havilland played the wholesome, quiet, loyal Melanie Hamilton who marries Ashley Wilkes just as the Civil War begins. Ashley, a “gentleman,” was played by Leslie Howard and was as different from the swashbuckling rogue Rhett Butler One of the few professionals still making house calls. as night is from day.

the oldest among them. Born in 1893, he was 46 years old when the movie was filmed. In 1917 he began acting on stage in London but gained prominence when he came to Broadway. Later he was “called” to Hollywood and performed in movies although the stage continued to be more important to him. He was also a successful playwright.

In Hollywood, Leslie Howard had a number of successes and starred along with Bette Davis in several films. He also worked with Ingrid Bergman, Norma Shearer, and Olivia de Havilland. He was chosen for the GWTW role and it is his most famous. He returned to England to help with the war effort during WWII. He died in 1943 when flying to Bristol from Lisbon on a commercial flight. He worked undercover for the UK during the war. The plane was shot down by the Luftwaffe over the Bay of Biscay.

Beautiful, stunning, vivacious and “wildlooking” Vivien Leigh won the coveted role of Scarlett O’Hara in GWTW. The undisputed star of the magnificent production, Vivien was somewhat of a surprise for the role because she was British. Yet she won two Academy Awards for “Best Actress” for portraying southern belles. The first came for GWTW in 1939; the second was for her steamy portrayal of Blanch Du Bois in “A Streetcar Named Desire” in 1951. She had played that same role on stage in London.

Leigh was a gifted and talented actress often portraying Shakespearean heroines on stage. She worked for more than 30 years.

Her health was a detriment to her; she had what is now described as bipolar disorder and also had chronic tuberculosis.

She was born in 1913 in Darjeeling and was the daughter of a British officer in India. She later traveled in Europe with her father and told her parents she wanted to be an actress. They enrolled her in a drama school. She became an accomplished actress and while working met Laurence Olivier. They began an affair although they were both married at the time. After their divorces they were married.

When Leigh read the American novel, GWTW, she was determined to play the important role of Scarlett O’Hara. Her lover, Olivier went to Hollywood to star in “Wuthering Heights.” That was in 1939 and Hollywood was embroiled in a long search to find an actress to play Scarlett.

She “applied for” the role, but was, at first, thought to be “too English.” She was taken

to the movie set one night, where the famous “Atlanta burning” scenes were being filmed. David O. Selznick, producer, wrote to his wife after meeting Leigh that the search for Scarlett had now been narrowed to four actresses: Jean Arthur, Joan Bennett, Paulette Goddard and Vivien Leigh.

Vivien got the prize role.

There was never any real doubt about who would play the role of Rhett Butler in GWTW. In 1939 Hollywood’s hottest property and foremost leading man was Clark Gable; he looked exactly right for the role.

Gable, who was born in 1901, was also exactly the right age (38) for the Butler character. His birthplace was Cadiz, Ohio.

His stepmother had taught him to play musical instruments and made sure he was well-dressed and well groomed. He learned Shakespeare very early. As a young man Gable worked in the Goodrich Tire factory in Akron.

He began acting and eventually met the women who would become the first of his four wives. Josephine Dillon was 17 years older than Clark and she changed his looks, hair style and voice to prepare him for films. The couple went to Hollywood in 1924 and he found work as an “extra.”

After leaving that and appearing in numerous stage productions, Gable finally landed some speaking roles in movies. In 1930 he came to the notice of studio heads at MGM. His arrival back in Hollywood came at a time when MGM was expanding its list of male stars. Gable appeared in several movies, becoming more and more popular with the fans. He starred opposite nearly all of the female stars of the day. In 1934 he won an Academy Award for his performance in “It Happened One Night.”

This remains a favorite movie with many old-time movie fans. He was also nominated in 1935 for his staring role as Fletcher Christian in “Mutiny on the Bounty.”

It’s reported that Gable did not really want to portray Rhett Butler but the entire country thought he was right for the role. He was spectacular in the film and was nominated for, but did not receive, an Academy Award for it.

The remainder of his life was devoted to making movies, the last of which was “The Misfits” with Marilyn Monroe. This was also Monroe’s last movie. Many people considered this final Clark Gable movie to be his finest performance.

Sound Off Election: Cost and corruption

It has been well reported that the 2010 midterm elections were the most expensive in history, with a total cost that is now expected to equal roughly $4 billion. Was there anyone not screaming “ Enough … Enough … I can’t take it anymore! The same political ads over and over again! What a waste of our time and resources. We need a lot more reforms of our political process, like shortening the campaigning time frame like Great Britain. We could certainly use that money to rebuild our national infrastructure.

What is more alarming is the corruption in our larger cities run by the Democratic Party, and how votes are stolen. The most well known is the charges against Acorn for voter fraud throughout our country. Isn’t it wonderful that our taxes go to an organization that commits voter fraud all over our nation! The FBI has certainly been busy.

The core leadership of the Democratic Party in Cuyahoga County (Cleveland) has been indicted or arrested including the head dog Jimmy Dimora. In the Minnesota election there were more votes in the recount in Minneapolis than were cast in the election which would indicate fraud.

The Illinois Governor arrested. Federal prosecutors in-

dicted 12 in Philadelphia in 2004. Philadelphia election numbers continue to grow despite a declining population!

One of our continuing problems is not counting the votes of our military, the most famous was the 2000 election where the absentee votes were not counted in Dade and Brower County in Florida. The Marine Corps Times reported in 2009 that 28 percent of deployed service members were not counted. There have been several charges in the recent election about the military absentee ballots not being counted, but of course, unreported by the press.

King County (Seattle) is one of the worst … forget about electing a Republican out there. Well what major city is free of corruption … How about the Big Apple, yes New York. Since Giuliani was elected, corruption ended, the city was cleaned up and efficiency of government was installed. With the current Republic major Bloomberg, New York continues to be a model city. As of this year the FBI Uniform Crime Report indicates New York is the safest city in the U.S. What lessons can be learned here?

Beaujolais Nouveau is a very special wine with a great history. Made from the Gamay varietal, all grapes grown for Beaujolais Nouveau are hand picked in whole bunches. Almost 35,000 people come together to pick the Nouveau grapes. They are then transported whole and placed in vats where the grapes undergo Carbonic Maceration. This essentially means that whole grapes are left in bunches to ferment without manual pressing. This fermentation allows the juice to become alcohol in their skins, resulting in a very fruity wine with low tannins.

This is not a complex wine, but one to be drunk early and easily. As the name suggests, the time from picking to bottling for Beaujolais nouveau is usually less than 6 weeks.

French law prohibits releasing this wine before midnight on the third Thursday of the November, so precisely midnight, the negociants and winemakers leave their homes and villages throughout the region traveling to deliver their Beaujolais Nouveau to Paris where it can be shipped all over the world.

Come Taste the 2010 The urgency behind getting this wine to market has turned the release Beaujolais Nouveau into a great festival and celebration. with Mike Bassett Winemakers enter Paris under banners proclaiming “Le Beaujolais Nouveau est Thursday, Friday, Saturday Nov. 18, 19, 20 arrive!” “The New Beaujolais has arFrom Noon - 4:00pm rived!” Over 65 million bottles of Beaujolais will be shipped around the world. *Small Fee Applies

Morris is Board Certified in internal medicine, pediatrics and sleep medicine.

HEALTH

The Beacon

Stein Hospice CEO gets Heart of Ohio Award Jan Bucholz is the recipient of the 2010 Heart of Ohio Award, honored for her courage, creativity and commitment to hospice and palliative care. The Ohio Hospice & Palliative Care Organization pre-

sented the award to Bucholz, Stein Hospice President and CEO, on Nov. 12 during its annual conference in Columbus.

The Heart of Ohio Award is given to an individual OHPCO member who has

“made significant and repeated achievements in hospice and palliative care, particularly on a state level.”

Jan was nominated by Stein Hospice Medical Director William Inglis and James Preston, associate medical director.

Inglis praised Jan for her hard work and vision, embracing such programs as the Sacred Art of Living and Dying, Reiki and Guided Imagery.

“I’ve worked as a physician with hospice in Columbus and then Sandusky for 33 years, and Jan is the most outstanding hospice professional that I have ever worked with. Her achievements include increasing patients served from 50 to 375 in 5 years and developing a staff to match,” Inglis wrote in his nominating letter.

Richard Hatcher, superintendent at the Ohio Veterans Home, wrote a letter of support because of Stein’s comprehensive endof-life care for veterans.

“Their staff consistently provides quality and compassionate care to those most in need. Might I add, one need not speak long with Jan to know that the caring way in which the Stein staff provides service starts at the top with caring and involved management. Jan expects a lot from her employees, but no more than she is willing to give of herself,” Richard wrote.

Also supporting Jan’s nomination was Tamara Jackson, senior vice president and chief nursing officer at Firelands Regional Medical Center. The two women worked together when Stein’s care center opened on the South Campus of Firelands in 2005, and more recently on a successful partnership to create a Fellowship in Hospice and Palliative Care Medicine.

“As a member of the Board of Stein Hospice, I have personally observed Jan’s commitment and compassion to the patients they serve,” Jackson wrote.

One Day

does make a difference A comforting, soothing massage.

A friendly visit from a volunteer to hold your hand.

A nurse who stays by your bedside until all your questions have been answered.

These are just a few of the gifts Stein Hospice delivers to patients and families every day.

For some patients, one day is all they have with Stein Hospice. But look at what can be accomplished in 24 hours. Or less.

At 52, Deb Smith fought for four years to rid her body of cancer. But when the fight was over, Deb and her family did not want her life to end in a hospital room. On a spring afternoon Deb arrived at the Stein Hospice Care Center. By sunrise she had died.

But in those 16 hours Deb and her family received many gifts...

A chaplain stopped by to pray.

Volunteers helped the family with meals.

Nurses watched over Deb to make sure she was not in pain.

“Everybody was so nice and considerate and would stop to talk, not small talk. It was personal to them. They felt like family,” said Deb’s daughter, Stephanie.

Whether a patient is staying at the Care Center, in a nursing home or private home, services such as the ones Deb and her family received can begin within two hours of admission and are provided around the clock.

The Smith family will tell you:

One day does make a difference.

HOLIDAY HAPPENINGS

The Beacon

Holiday Bureau looking for helping hands 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.

How to help: • Philanthropic opportunities — Cash donations are essential. The Holiday Bu-

reau saw a 10 percent increase in need in 2009 and could see a similar increase this year. To make a monetary donation contact the individual in your area representative.

• Sign up — Individuals and families who need assistance may contact the representative in their area of Ottawa County.

• Giving Sundays — Most local churches participate in Giving Sundays. Church attendees are asked to donate canned goods and/or cash donations, as well as mittens and hats, which are in urgent need. This year Giving Sundays will be Nov. 22, 29 and Dec. 6.

• Essential needs — A basic box of items includes meat, potatoes, noodles, rice or stuffing, canned and fresh vegetables and fruit, soup, boxed foods, condiments, coffee or tea and juice. Also included are laundry and dish detergent, soap, shampoo, toothbrushes and paste, and paper

products.

For information, contact Judy Just, Ottawa County Holiday Bureau Chairwoman, at 419-798-4163.

Book commemorates Music on Sunday the role Kelleys Island series kicks off played in the Civil War

TERRA COMMUNITY COLLEGE

On April 15, 1862, President Lincoln issued a proclamation calling for 75,000 militiamen. A week later, the first Kelleys Island men answered that call. The South had seceeded from the Union, this was the beginning of the Civil War. Before the war finally ended, 100 men would be sent from the shores of Kelleys Island to fight for the reunification of the country.

Local author Leslie Korenko tells the story of Kelleys Island and the men who served in the 3rd Ohio Cavalry; the 38th, 100th and 101st Ohio Infantries; 1st Ohio Heavy Artillery; and the 130th Ohio Volunteer Militia. Stories are told through the first-hand accounts from the soldiers themselves in “Kelleys Island 1862-1866 — The Civil War, the Island Soldiers & the Island Queen.”

The war that divided the North and South and pitted brother against brother had an extraordinary impact on this Lake Erie island. By 1864, 100 of the 600 residents of Kelleys Island had enlisted.

“Few people realize the important roll that the island soldiers played. One soldier, Jacob Rush of the 3rd Ohio Cavalry, enlisted when he was just 15 years old. He was wounded twice and just before the end of his enlistment, he was captured as a spy and sent to Cahaba Prison. He helped organize an escape attempt and survived a brutal flood of the prison. When he was finally released, he became one of the 2,000 men sent home on the steamboat Sultana.

He was one of just 500 survivors of the steamboat explosion,” said Korenko. Out of the 2,200 persons on board, only 550 were rescued and of those, 150 died within 24 hours of exposure.

Korenko also writes about the plot to release the prisoners on Johnson’s Island.

“In September 1864 the steamers Philo Parsons and the Island Queen were seized at Put-in-Bay, part of a plan to take control of the gunboat Michigan and turn the guns on the Johnson’s Island garrison, forcing the release of the Confederate prisoners. On the Island Queen were 25 soldiers of the 130th Ohio Volunteer Militia who were just returning from their 100 days service.”

Although the book covers the island’s history during the Civil War years, it is not all about the war. Property changed hands, couples got married and the island community prospered. Some of the island’s classic houses were built and grape fever was fueling a growing wine industry. The islanders held dances, festivals and entertainments. Leslie notes that “even at this time the island was fast becoming a place of resort where people could come to get away from the city and take in the clean, refreshing lake breezes. Some families stayed the entire summer while their working husbands visited on the weekends.”

This is Korenko’s second book. The first book, Kelleys Island 1810-1861 – The courageous, poignant and often quirky lives of

island pioneers debuted in 2009 and tells the story of the early discovery and development of the island as well as the exploits of its resident pirate, Ben Napier.

“These islanders believed in recording their history for future generations. This resulted in many interesting and often very funny stories,” Korenko said.

Terra students advance in NetRiders Challenge Four information technology students at Terra Community College will continue to the second round of the Cisco Networking Academy NetRiders Challenge after placing in the top 10 during the first round.

The NetRiders Challenge is an interactive skills competition for students enrolled in a Cisco Certi-

fied Networking Associate course in the U.S. or Canada. Students learn to install, configure, operate and troubleshoot medium-sized route and switched computer networks.

“All students in my Networking II class participated in round one on Oct. 28,” said adjunct faculty member Sara Akers. “I thought

this would be a great opportunity for my students. Even if they did not place, they would gain great team skills. Fortunately, we had two teams place and now they will compete at the state level.”

Cody Semer, Seth Sholl and Richard Bogart, all of Tiffin, and Zach Jess of Port Clinton were set to compete in round two on Nov.

15. Semer and Sholl placed sixth while Bogart and Jess took 10th.

All four will receive a letter of recognition from Cisco for qualifying for round two.

Akers said the competition is also good practice for the CCNA exam. Students who complete Networking I and II at Terra have all the skills and information they

need to take the exam. This is an industry standard exam provide

by Cisco Systems.

Networking I is offered spring semester 2011 which begins Jan. 10. Registration is already in progress. For information on the information technology program, contact Sara Akers at sakers@terra.edu or call 419-559-2410.

SCHOOLS

The Beacon

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 who help the district fulfill its motto of “Proudly Charting a Course for Success.” At the Oct. 25 meeting, the Port Clinton Board of Education recognized the following with Flagship Awards.

Lisa Sarty

First Mate (parents) Whether it is helping at the front gate of athletic events, working the concession stand or helping with any other student event, Lisa Sarty is usually there and willing to help. Sarty has been active in many district organizations and

currently serves as secretary for the Port Clinton Athletic Boosters. Lisa can often be seen working at many of the athletic events including serving as statistician for volleyball and softball.

If there is an activity that involves students or student-athletes, Sarty is there helping transport students or doing anything that needs to be done for the kids.

Her tireless efforts are sometimes behind the scenes and may go unnoticed but the Board of Education greatly appreciates her dedication to students and presented her with the Flagship First Mate Award.

tion of a new 70,000-square-foot facility and the purchase of new manufacturing and machinery equipment at the plant. Without any requirement to do so, Fenner Dunlop Inc. will pay the district a total of $437,000 over a 15-year period. Of which, more than $150,000 has been allocated to Port Clinton High School for a state-of-the-art Industrial Technology/STEM — science, technology, engineering and math — Lab for students. Students can use electronic, robotic and hydraulic simulators while still maintaining a smaller version of the existing hands-on workshop.

The new computer lab provides for Computer Aided Design projects and a three-dimensional printer to print their designs.

Students interested in pursuing the field of engineering gain insight from this new class curriculum. The lab can also be used by other instructors for science and math projects.

Financial Focus

Don’t let ‘double dip’ fears sink your plans Fears of a “double-dip” recession are in the air. Obviously, this isn’t particularly good news; we’d all like to feel that the economy is growing robustly. At the same time, however, you’ll want to avoid making hasty, ill-advised investment decisions based on the mere threat of a slide into another recession. Instead, you’ll want to keep your long-term investment plan intact — in all economic environments.

The possibility of a double-dip recession makes great headlines.

But such events have been rare.

In fact, we’ve seen only one double-dip recession in the past 77 years. However, this history hasn’t stopped gloomy forecasters from predicting a double-dip in 1991 (it didn’t happen) and in 2003 (when it didn’t happen again).

Will we again avoid the double-

dip recession this time? It’s dangerous to make predictions, but it seems more likely that what we’re really experiencing is a “soft patch” in the economic recovery as retail sales remain weak, consumer confidence is low and unemployment remains high. But on the positive side, manufacturing activity has been strong, corporate earnings have rebounded to pre-recession levels and profit margins are near all-time highs.

And yet, many investors are focusing strictly on the negative reports — and they’re acting on their fears by moving money from stocks to fixed-income vehicles, such as bonds. During the period from July 2008 through June 2010, investors pulled more than $200 billion out of stock-based mutual funds and put more than $475 billion into

bond funds, according to the Investment Company Institute.

Bonds can provide a source of regular income and will return your principal when they mature, providing the issuers don’t default. They’re an important part of most investors’ portfolios. But if you’re joining the crowd and over-concentrating on bonds, you risk losing the following: • Growth opportunities — According to Ibbotson, a leading investment research organization, stocks have done particularly well following 10-year periods in which the stock market hasn’t performed strongly — and the past 10 years were one of the worst periods we’ve ever seen for stocks. And right now, many quality stocks are trading at some of the most attractive values in 15 years, as

measured by price-to-earnings ratio, or P/E. • Portfolio balance — Ideally, you want your portfolio to contain a mix of investments — stocks, bonds, international and cash — designed to reflect your risk tolerance, time horizon and long-term goals. You’ll need to adjust your investment mix over time to reflect changes in your life, and regular portfolio reviews will prompt you to rebalance back to your target mix and determine whether any other changes are needed. But if you’re constantly disrupting your portfolio’s balance by reacting to short-term events, you’ll have a much harder time achieving your objectives. In virtually all areas of life, balance is essential

SERVICE EXCELLENCE EXPERIENCE

Harness the Power of Social Media at training The Service Excellence Experience Customer Service Program announces two upcoming workshops presented by Scott Brown of Great Service Lives:

Social Media 1

“Harnessing the Power of the Internet & Social Media for your Business” Social media sounds like a great idea, and its marketing effectiveness is proven, but how do you get started?

This session will introduce a practical guide to creating and implementing a social media strategy. We’ll explore which services to use, what to focus on and specific strategies and tasks to take the guess work out of social media sites like Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and examples of organizations who are doing it right. You’ll leave this fast-paced workshop with

ideas, strategies and energy to supercharge your online marketing!

Social Media 2 “Integrating Your Social Media Strategy” Posting on Facebook and sending out tweets are the first steps in a successful social media campaign.

But without a plan, you may never see results that you are seeking. Social Media 2 will explore new social media services like Foursquare, Facebook Places and how to integrate all of your social media services into one cohesive marketing strategy to position your business or service in the forefront of your customers’ minds.

We will also take a deeper look at the functionality offered by Facebook and Twitter. This workshop will provide you with insight into the newest social media trends and tools to suc-

cessfully utilize these services.

These workshops count towards the requirements to maintain SEE Certification; however, the workshops are open to all businesses and their workforce. You can opt to attend one or both workshops.

Both workshops will be offered on Friday, Dec. 3, at the Ottawa County Improvement Corp., 8043 W. Ohio 163, Suite 100, Oak Harbor.

Social Media I will be offered from 9 to 11:30 a.m.; Social Media II will be offered from 1 to 3:30 p.m. The cost for each workshop is: $10 for SEE Certified Businesses, $15 for chamber members and $20 for others.

To register for the workshops or for questions, call the SEE Administrator, Sheila Powell at 419-366-7420 or email serviceexcellenceexperience@ gmail.com.

The deadline to register is 5 p.m.

Wednesday, Dec. 1.

Frank Leone takes over local Edward Jones office Frank Leone has been named to take over the local Edward Jones office located at 2870 E. Harbor Road. Leone transferred to Port Clinton from an Edward Jones office in North Olmsted.

“We’re very proud to have Frank represent us in Port Clinton,” said Jim Weddle, the firm’s managing partner.

“The people of this community have grown to rely on our firm for their invest-

ment needs, and I am confident Frank will continue our outstanding tradition by providing one-on-one service to our clients.”

Cheryl Molnar is serving as branch office administrator.

“I am very excited about working with Frank,” said Molnar. “Together we will provide investors with unparalleled personal service.”

— and that’s certainly true in regard to your investments.

A “double-dip recession” might sound scary, but it may well never come to pass — so don’t let the mere prospect throw you off your investment strategy. Good investment opportunities are out there — so dip into them.

Deer-gun season opens Nov. 29 COLUMBUS — Ohio’s popular deer-gun season opens statewide on Monday, Nov. 29, offering hunters a full week to harvest a whitetail. The upcoming season will again include an extra weekend of gun hunting Dec. 18-19, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, Division of Wildlife.

Deer can be hunted with a legal muzzleloader, handgun or shotgun from one half-hour before sunrise to sunset through Dec. 5 and Dec. 18-19.

With a pre-hunting season population estimate of 750,000 white-tailed deer, the ODNR Division of Wildlife anticipates 115,000 to 125,000 deer will be killed during the nine-day season. Approximately 420,000 hunters are expected to participate in this year’s season, including many out-ofstate hunters. The white-tailed deer is the most popular game animal in Ohio, frequently pursued by generations of hunters. Ohio ranks eighth nationally in annual hunting-related sales and 10th in the number of jobs associated with the hunting-related industry. Each year, hunting has an

Ohio is divided into three deer hunting zones. Beginning on the opening day of gun season and continuing through Dec. 5, a limit of one deer may be taken in Zone A (20 counties) and two deer in Zone B (30 counties). A total of six deer may be harvested in eastern and southeastern Ohio’s Zone C (38 counties) through the week long gun season. The antlerless deer permit will be valid for deergun week only in Zone C. Beginning on Dec. 6, the bag limit is three deer in Zone C and antlerless deer permits are no longer valid. Any time a hunter is allowed to take more than one deer, they must purchase an additional permit.

Those hunting in urban units and at Division of Wildlife-authorized controlled hunts will have a six-deer bag limit, and those deer will not count against the hunter’s zone bag limit. Antlerless deer permits can be used for the entire season in urban deer units or Division of Wildlife-

authorized controlled hunts. Antlerless deer permits must be purchased

by Nov. 28. Hunters may take only one antlered deer, regardless of zone, hunting method or season. A deer permit is required in addition to a valid Ohio hunting license. Approximately 60 to 75 sales agents throughout Ohio will be testing the newly designed fishing, hunting and trapping license and permit sales system during the 2010 fall hunting season.

This test will be for licenses and permit sales only, electronic game check begins in spring 2011. Pilot licenses and permits will look different, but will still be valid. Each license buyer must have a Social Security Number recorded in the system. Youth hunters and those hunters who have never had a driver’s license swiped during the license buying process must provide their SSN. The Harvest Information Program survey process will be different than in the past. Hunters will be asked to call a toll-free number to register. More information on the testing can be found at wildohio. com.

Hunters are encouraged to kill more does this season using the reduced-priced antlerless deer permit and donate any extra venison to organizations assisting Ohioans in need. The division is collaborating with Farmers and Hunters Feeding the Hungry to help pay for the processing of donated venison. Hunters who donate their deer are not required to pay the processing cost as long as the deer are taken to a participating processor. Counties being served by this program can be found online at fhfh.org.
