St. Thomas Episcopal and Peace Lutheran churches have joined together to share a ministry, the services of the Rev. Mike Wiechers and now, a free community meal. The first dinner is Jan. 21 and the gatherings will continue the third Thursday of each month. And, according to Wiechers, his wife Angie is responsible. “She’s the one really get-

ting this whole thing started,” he said. According to Angie, when the two churches interviewed the couple they expressed interest in community outreach. “The church we came from had a community meal and I mentioned it,” she said. From that conversation came decisions to move forward, set a schedule and have the meal at St. Thomas. The churches will pay for the food, par-

ish members will sign up to volunteer to cook and serve the meals that are open to “anyone and everyone,” according to Angie. Donations will be accepted but are not required. The first dinner will feature spaghetti and meatballs, garlic bread, salad and dessert. “A real dinner,” said Angie.

Kalinoski moved to Florida after earning a degree at Bowling Green State University and founded his video production company Evolution Media in 2004. And the company has been evolving ever since. “We’re very fortunate to have such great clients, who bring us so many interesting and challenging projects,” said Kalinoski, president of Evolution Media. “It’s an honor to be recognized with such a prestigious award like the Emmy.” Awards were for • “Explore Adoption,” a 30-minute special television program produced for the State of Florida and the Executive Office of the Governor to raise the public’s awareness of foster children in need of loving and permanent homes. “Explore Adoption” was produced with Ron Sachs Communications and CoreMessage, and nominated in the Public/Current/Community Affairs category. Honorees include: CB Lorch, Kalinoski, Ron Sachs, Charles Belvin, Michelle Ubben, Ivette Marques, Alia Faraj-Johnson, Cory Tilley and Rachel Gustafson; and • “An Unpleasant Problem,” produced with Governance Inc, and TAPP and won in the Community/ Public Service Announcement category.

Around Ottawa County Race to Cub Scouting Racing to Cub Scouting is the theme for a special Cub Scout signup to be held at 6:30 p.m. on Friday, Jan. 15, at St. John Lutheran Church, 207 Adams St., in Port Clinton. Each boy registering for Scouts at Racing to Cub Scouting will receive a Pinewood Derby racecar to build for his pack’s Pinewood Derby Race in February. While this event is being held in Port Clinton, boys registering for Cub Scouts are able to join a Cub Scout Pack in Elmore, Genoa, Oak Harbor, Marblehead, Port Clinton or Williston.

Scouting is a home- and neighborhood-centered program designed to support and encourage quality family involvement for boys in the first through fifth grades (ages 7 to 10). Each Cub Scout learns to respect his home, country and other people. The program also helps boys this age to: • Learn new physical skills through sports, crafts and games. • Learn how to get along with others through group activities. • Learn to make value-based decisions that assist them throughout their adult life. Parents or guardians should come along to help the LODGE NO. 341, F. & A.M. boys sign up for Scouting. For information about Racing to Cub Scouting or how to join Cub Scouts, call Dave Barth at 419734-1727.

As we enter our third decade of service, our gift to the community is the recovery rate of our patients, results that have placed our rehab program as one of the best in the country for patient outcomes and quality of care.

Beacon Bits By Virginia Park

When I began writing this column tonight and wrote the date when this paper will be published — Jan. 7 — I mistakenly wrote Dec. 7 instead. Then I quickly changed it to the correct date. December went by in a blur, as fast as lightning (or so it seemed). And here we are at the new year already. May 2010 — the beginning of the second decade of the millennium — be a better year for everyone. Have you made any New Year’s resolutions? I read an article about a guy who made only the resolutions he knew he could keep. If I did that I’d have to say that I resolve that my house will remain cluttered, that I won’t get enough exercise or drink enough water and that I won’t go on a diet. How’s that for making a list of resolutions a person can keep? For those of you who are actually trying to make some improvements in your life, here’s some counsel: If you want to change a habit, you must keep doing the new activity for at least 21 days. Then there will be a chance of keeping it going. That’s the

conventional wisdom, I believe. So these first three weeks of 2010 must be filled with will power. Good luck! ——— I received some super great presents for Christmas. One was a little slow cooker (it holds 20 ounces) and is for snack foods, small amounts you’re just keeping hot, not cooking. It’s really neat. Other very welcome gifts were several religious study books, including a Bible dictionary. I always receive pretty soaps and lotions and note paper; this year was no exception. Candles, an unusual flowerpot, portable phones and some jewelry and other goodies came my way. I was happy with the offerings. I do, though, have a few regrets about this past Christmas. For example, I didn’t get my Christmas cards written. I sent a few … but neglected family and friends. I did get a holiday letter written and I may still send that. We’ll see. No promises there. I also neglected to have my annual Christmas lunches with a number of friends. Maybe there will be time to catch up with that during January. One good thing: I won’t be late getting my Christmas decorations down. That’s because I didn’t get them put up. Nothing inside the house. Nothing outside the house. It seemed very strange. But I took special pleasure in seeing other people’s decorations this year because I had none of my own. I did bake one batch of cookies and contributed all of them to a Christmas bake sale. But cookies came as gifts and I bought some others to be able to give pretty plates full of them away to friends. And my good neighbors sent cookies to me — so I was, by no means, deprived, even though there was so little time to bake. I kept my self-made promise to take the same dish to all Christmas pot•••• lucks. That’s a big time-saver and money-saver. And, I will start to buy 2010’s Christmas presents the first time I go shopping. It’s a Donna at 419-732-3571 help to have most of the shopping done when the holiday season rolls around again. And it, too, will come sooner than we expect. It’s always that way. But the holidays are a very welcome

Specializing in Occupational Medicine Board Certified in General Practice

had a job teaching in a one-room school. In the morning she had to hitch up the horse and buggy to get to work. Once there she started the fire, pumped water for the day and even cleaned the privy before classes started. Annie’s grandfather, Fred, saw her driving past his home every day and the two met and fell in love. He took her away from the teaching job by marrying her. Together they raised eight children (mostly without running water!) and were married 60 years. Early in their marriage they had Aladdin kerosene lamps. Annie says, “They had a Delco powered Radio with a giant ‘horn’ so they could listen to the Renfro Valley Barn Dance on Saturday nights … their home was filled with beauty, love, laughter, aunts, uncles, cousins and delightful aromas.” Annie’s Christmas letter was wonderful — filled with accounts of what she’s doing each day on the island with her recollections of times gone by. We should all take time to write down things like that. It’s a rewarding pastime. ——— And, speaking of writing, here’s a big thanks to everyone who has mentioned “Tessa,” the Christmas story that appeared in this column over the last four weeks. “Tessa” was not the best story I’ve ever written, although I did like the final chapter. In it there was repartee’ between Tessa and Jake (the movie star). Most of the action of the story takes place in the Ohio Governor’s mansion in Columbus. The description of the exterior of the house was real. It was just as I saw it when arriving at an actual Christmas party there earlier this season. It was lovely — and one of my favorite events of the holidays. ——— Congratulations to Curt Laubner, newly elected President of the Marblehead Peninsula Chamber of Commerce. Curt takes over the reins from Past President Ann Duez. ——— The Ottawa County Exponent recently featured a front-page story about the new Chop-Shop Deli. It’s owned and managed by Matt and Hope Adkins and located near the Buckeye Pit Stop at 513 W. Oak St., Oak Harbor. Specialty sandwiches, soups and pasta salads are featured along with desserts at the new establishment. ——— The Ottawa Sandusky Seneca Solid Waste District has moved to a different location. The new address is 1875 E. State St. in Fremont. ——— Here’s hoping you have a prosperous, fun-filled and joyous year 2010. Enjoy the days and weeks ahead.

You have only so many years to prepare for retirement. That’s why contributing to your IRA is so important. Fortunately, you still have time to maximize your 2009 IRA contribution before the April 15 deadline. By contributing now, your retirement savings can have more opportunity to grow. Even if you already have an IRA elsewhere, it’s easy to transfer it to an Edward Jones IRA and begin receiving the face-to-face advice you deserve.

season of the year — even when we don’t have time to do all of the traditional things we enjoy. Here are a few things I managed to finish up on the New Year weekend. I sorted all my Christmas cards from this year (and from 2008) and dug out addresses. I also put away all of the Christmas wrap, bags and bows plus a few gifts I didn’t give to anyone. I cleaned up one bedroom and closet and finally got my summer clothes into a plastic container and ready for storage. It’s great to know that’s finished. I also had time to read some old newspapers to catch up with news from around the area. That gives the opportunity to reflect on what’s been going on. Some great news: the Magruder Hospital Auxiliary donated $65,000 to the hospital toward the purchase of digital mammography and ultrasound technologies. Auxiliary members raise money through fundraising events and also serve as volunteers in many departments at the hospital. ——— Congratulations to the “Put-In-Bay Gazette.” The island newspaper began its 30th year of publishing in December. Back in 1980 the Gazette got its start with a twopage flyer; it announced that there would be a monthly island newspaper. Kendra and Jeff Koehler are still the owners and they write, take photos and do just about everything needed to get this very welcome paper into the hands of loyal readers. The December issue had a big “30” on the front page and the numerals were made up of photographs taken over the years. Other good news — the library at Put-inBay School has been completely remodeled for the benefit of both students and islanders. This is only a small part of the school renovations that were recently completed. They also included technological improvements, a lowered stage in the gym, storage space added and more. And in writing about Put-In-Bay I’m reminded of my Christmas gift from Mary Ann Market. It was a package of gnocchi — small round pasta made with potato flower. They were good, especially served with the eggplant parmesan I fixed over Christmas weekend. Another island pleasure: a Christmas note from Annie Parker. She wrote about counting numerous Tundra swans in the bay in back of Perry’s Monument on Dec. 20, during the annual Audubon bird count. The swans weigh about 20-21 pounds and Annie says that gather there. Annie, who celebrated her 80th birthday this past year, says she walks at least a mile a day and is enjoying driving around in a golf cart even in the blustery winter weather. She also wrote a nice narrative about how, in the mid-1880’s, her grandmother Jenny

Around Ottawa County Preliminary Lake Erie coastal erosion maps available COLUMBUS — Property owners along Ohio’s Lake Erie coast will receive letters from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources identifying whether their property is preliminarily located within a coastal erosion area. The letters will initiate a 120-day comment period for an updated set of coastal erosion maps originally released in 1998. Maps release by the ODNR Division of Geological Survey are available online at www.ohiodnr.com/CEAm and in print at affected counties, municipalities and townships in Ohio’s coastal counties. Ohioans may learn more about the preliminary 2010 Coastal Erosion Area maps at eight public hearings scheduled across the coast beginning January 25. Under Ohio’s Coastal Management law, ODNR is required to measure coastal recession rates along the state’s Lake Erie shore. Land areas predicted

Public Hearing WHEN: 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Feb. 3 WHERE: Ottawa County Court House, Emergency Operations Center, 315 Madison St., Port Clinton to erode within a 30-year period, if additional approved erosion control measures are not completed, are included in designated coastal erosion areas. Ohio law defines a coastal erosion area as beginning at the water’s edge and extending landward a specific distance based upon the rate of recession along that stretch of bluff, bank or beach ridge. Following the procedures outlined in Ohio Revised Code 1506.06, the 2010 maps should be finalized in early 2011. However, until the 2010

Property owners considering a construction project along the coast or selling littoral property may visit the ODNR Office of Coastal Management’s Web site at www.ohiodnr.com/coastal or call 419-626-7980 to learn more. Staff members will assist landowners in determining if a property is within a 1998 designated coastal erosion area. The Office of Coastal Management can also guide property owners through the permitting process and advise about Ohio’s Residential Property Disclosure law.

ARTIST from 1 Street in downtown Port Clinton. Admission is free of charge. Members of the local Artist Club will be on hand to share their memories of painting with this extremely talented lady. Rhiel, who was twice named Port Clinton’s Woman of the Year (1959 and 1979), came to the area with her husband, the late Dr. James Rhiel in 1947. A graduate of the Ohio State University with a bachelor of science in fine arts education, Priscilla worked as a commercial artist in a large vocational school in Kansas City and later taught for two years at Ohio State. After moving to Port Clinton, she shared her talents with students in the art departments of Gypsum and R.C. Waters in Oak Harbor. Although Priscilla Rhiel’s paintings have hung in prestigious galleries from New York City to El Paso, Texas, including a one-woman show at the Toledo Museum of Art, she is perhaps best known locally for her murals hung in numerous churches, the Ida Rupp Library and Playmakers Civic Theatre. During her lifetime, Rhiel designed and executed more than 50 sets for the community theater group, often teaching novice volunteers to assist her in the process. Many Artist Club members acquired new techniques while painting with this talented artist, always willing to share her talents with anyone willing to learn. Her quiet thoughtfulness was also treasured by all who knew her.

Firelands String Quartet Exchange students visit PCMS making two stops in county International exchange students came to visit dents who have studied abroad discussed their

Thanks to a grant from the Ottawa County Community Foundation, the Firelands String Quartet will present two concerts at senior residences in Ottawa County on Jan. 9. Both concerts are presented by the Musical Arts Series at Firelands with the goal of making live, professional musical entertainment accessible to seniors when the weather prevents many from going out. The Firelands String Quartet has performed across northern Ohio for more than four years and blends varied musical backgrounds with years of experience. Included in the quartet is Port Clinton resident and cellist Brian Shifflet. The first concert will be held at 1:30 p.m. at Edgewood Manor, 1330 Fulton St., Port Clinton. The second show will be at 2:45 p.m. at Otterbein North Shore Retirement Community, 9400 North Shore Blvd., Marblehead. Both concerts are free and open to the public. Those interested in attending the concert at Edgewood Manor should call 419-734-5506, as space is limited.

with Port Clinton Middle School students and share their experiences before Christmas break. The visit was part of various lessons planned for International Student Day on Dec. 21 at PCMS. Exchange students shared the benefits of studying abroad as well as some of the unique challenges. Students from other countries currently studying in the local area include Luca Guimardes from Brazil and current Port Clinton High School exchange students Thomas Sorenes and Eirik Bakland from Norway and JuYoung Woo from South Korea. In addition, PCHS stu-

experiences. Those students included Lorraine Boissonneault who studied in France; Alex Moore who studied in Italy; Beth Logsdon who studied in Switzerland; Mike Logsdon who studied in Sweden; and Ingrid Logsdon, from Germany, who studied in the United States. PCMS teachers arranged the visit. Students learned what is required to participate in international study experience. Students represented two organizations: Youth For Understanding and American Field Service.

Celebrating the holidays The Vintage Vixens Red Hatters of the Port Clinton area recently enjoyed their Christmas Party with hors d’oeuvres and champagne punch at the Lake in the Woods home of Elma Nelson and then had dinner at the Islander Grill on Sand Road. The 16 attending were (left to right, first row) Katie Chaffee, Elma Nelson and Carol Lake; (second row) Leah Tusen, Karen Crall, Gail Daniels, Penny Milliser and Bonnie Segaard; and (last row) Helen Casale, Judy Mulligan, Carol Woodard, Irene Vangeloff, Judi Stoss, Joyce Murphy Queen Mother, Marilyn Demaline and Donna Swiergosz. The next meeting will be lunch at the Maumee Bay State Park Lodge.

PCHS exchange students who visited PCMS include JuYoung Woo (left) from South Korea; Thomas Sorenes and Eirik Bakland, from Norway; and Luca Guimardes from Brazil.

Each year in December, the Kindergarten class of Immaculate Conception School dictates recipes for their favorite foods to their teacher to be printed in a cookbook as well as published in “The Beacon.” This process started about 26 years ago with Mrs. Lindsey Kaufman. It was inherited by Mrs. Pat Seibert 22 years ago. We are not always aware of how what we do has an effect on our children. We do a lot of things quickly and don’t notice if little eyes and ears are paying attention. This project is a culmination of things taken in by 5- and 6-year-olds. Cooking can sometimes be a learning experience for the observer as well as the cook. It can be amazing to see what a child sees as important and what they take for granted. This may be the first published work for many of them. I am sure it will not be their last! With a little bit of encouragement their tender hearts will express more of themselves as time goes on.

Sports PC faces two-headed Danbury takes down SJCC challenge this weekend

By John Schaffner Winners of seven straight to start the season, the Port Clinton Redskins face a very tough challenge this weekend as they host a pair of key Sandusky Bay Conference games. The Monday night game against Perkins has been re-scheduled for Saturday, Feb. 6. So, when the Redskins play Huron on Friday night, it will be their first game action in nearly two weeks. However, this weekend could prove to be pivotal in PC’s quest for another SBC title. Friday night, they host Huron. From a basketball standpoint, the Tigers represent a very close rivalry between the two schools. In the days when Dino Caporini coached the Tigers and Tom Bodager the Redskins, there have been some epic battles. “Huron is led by seniors Zach Grieves, Derek Dowell and Steve Bowers,” said Redskin Coach Troy Diels. “They have a nice balance of inside and outside play. We have had many good battles with Huron through the years and I expect Friday to be more of the same.” An even bigger challenge looms Saturday night as the Redskins host the rematch with the Clyde Fliers, winners of four straight since losing to PC back on Dec. 11. In that game, the Fliers jumped

No doubt, the Fliers will have revenge on their minds Saturday night. “Their size and strength have hurt their opponents this season,” said Diels. “We will need to win the battle of the boards in order to have success on Saturday night.”

By J. Patrick eaken The Danbury boys’ basketball team handed Fremont St. Joseph Central Catholic its first loss on Dec. 29, 63-52. The Lakers pounded St. Joe in the first half, rushing to a 14-6 first quarter lead and expanding that to 32-18 at halftime. St. Joseph came back with a 24 point third quarter to take a 42-41 lead heading into the final stanza, but the Lakers held back their non-league visitors from the Midland Athletic League by outscoring St. Joe 23-10 over the final eight minutes. In that fourth quarter, point guard Vincent Manuella connected on 9-of-9 free throws, Rodney Johnson made four free throws, and Lucas Kennedy, Tyler Boring, and Hunter Stephens also combined for five throws to put back St. Joe’s comeback attempt. For the game, Danbury had 48 free throw attempts, making 28. St. Joe made 11-of21. Johnson led Danbury with 21 points, Stephens had 14 points, Manuella 12 points, Boring scored nine points, Kennedy had four points, and Steven Feyedelem scored three points. Feyedelem’s points came from

behind the 3-point arc. Manuella also had seven assists, two rebounds, and one steal, Johnson had two assists, six rebounds, and one steal, and Boring had one assist, 10 rebounds, one steal, and two blocked shots. St. Joseph, which fell to 6-1, had 18 points from Brant Reardon, who also had the team’s only 3-point goal. Danbury (5-2 overall, 2-0 TAAC) got back into Toledo Area Athletic Conference action Jan. 5 with a home game against Cardinal Stritch (0-6, 0-2). Thursday, Jan. 7, the Lakers travel to Maumee Valley Country Day School for another TAAC match-up. The Hawks (34, 0-2) were picked to finish third in the league behind Toledo Christian School and Ottawa Hills and that’s just what their two league losses are to. MVCDS has defeated Miami Valley Country Day 67-38, Monclova Christian Academy 53-42, and Bettsville 63-43, while losing to TCS 52-42 in a hard fought physical match-up, Ottawa Hills 40-32, and in non-league action to North Baltimore 5753 and Fayette 41-36.

Rockets defeat Tigers By J. Patrick eaken Oak Harbor boys got on the winning track in the Sandusky Bay Conference with a 48-43 victory over the Huron Tigers Dec. 29. It was Huron’s only league loss so far as the Tigers fell to 5-3 overall, 4-1 in the SBC. Oak Harbor is currently to 2-6 overall, 1-4 in the SBC. Jake Scott scored 12 points for the Rockets and Steve Young had five and grabbed six rebounds. For Huron, Zach Grieves scored 11 points, including three treys. The Rockets opened a 12-6 first quarter lead, but the Tigers came back to close the gap to 24-22 at halftime. Oak Harbor outscored Huron 24-21 over the final two quarters to hold off any attempts at a Tiger comeback. The one thing holding off any chance of Oak Harbor putting the game away was its free throw shooting — the Rockets were under 50 percent, making 11 of 23. Huron made 8 of 14. Besides Scott and Young, six other Rockets got into the scoring column. D.J. Everett had nine points, Kevin Young scored eight, Brandon Wasserman shot for six points,

Andrew Karsten scored five, Kevin Lipstraw had two and Zack Priesman had one. The Rockets connected on seven threepoint goals — including three by Scott, two by KYoung and one each by Wasserman and Karsten. For Huron, Steve Bowers had nine points, Brandon Poorman and Brian Bollenbacher each scored seven points, Derek Dowell had five points, and Brandon Krueger had four points. Bollenbacher and Bowers each had a 3-point goal. The Oak Harbor junior varsity was also victorious, defeating Huron 39-33. The Rocket boys’ varsity basketball team lost to Clyde to open the new year by a score of 54-42. Leading scorer for the Rockets was Jake Scott with 12 points. Clyde is 4-3 overall, 3-0 in the SBC. The Oak Harbor JV lost to Clyde, 55-48. This Friday evening, Oak Harbor hosts league rival Sandusky St. Mary Central Catholic, also 2-6 overall and 1-4 in the league. St. Mary has defeated Fostoria St. Wendelin 60-44 and Edison 57-45, but lost to Tiffin Calvert (61-52), Margaretta (64-46), Danbury (54-51), Huron (52-48), Clyde (68-42), and Port Clinton (68-45).

Ottawa Outdoors Ranking for conservation applications starts soon Program applications for the 2010 funding cycle for the Environmental Quality Incentive Program, the Wetlands Reserve Program and the Wildlife Habitat Incentives Program are due in to the Natural Resources Conservation Service by mid-February to be considered in the first round of ranking for funding. While the application period for these conservation programs is continuous, funding selections are made once or twice a year, depending on the number of applications and availability of funds. Several opportunities exist for addressing priority natural resource issues using EQIP, including an air quality category, a forestry category for both general forest resource concerns and invasive species control, and an organic category. Limited resource producers, beginning farmers and socially disadvantaged farmers will be eligible for up to 90 percent cost share and an advance of 30 percent of the cost of implementing a practice. More than $6 million is available for landowners interested in creating, enhancing or restoring wetlands through WRP this year. Pasture, forest and crop land that has been drained and cultivated are eligible for this program. Easement options include 30-year or perpetual easements. The actual easement payment will be the lower of a Market Survey Analysis, Geographical Area Rate Cap or landowner offer. More than 20 conservation practices are available to agricultural producers interested in improving wildlife habitat using WHIP. Landowners must be involved in agricultural production to be eligible for WHIP. Special consideration will be given to applications that will provide habitat for declining or endangered species. Landowners interested in any one of these programs should contact the local NRCS office, at 240 W. Lake St., Unit B, Oak Harbor, or 419-898-6431, or visit www. oh.nrcs.usda.gov for eligibility information.

The Erie-Ottawa-Sandusky Chapter of Pheasants Forever invites wildlife enthusiasts, sportsmen, kids and couples to its 19th annual fundraising banquet Saturday, March 13, at the Camp Perry Clubhouse. Events will include live and silent auctions, raffles and door prizes, along with a catered dinner. Beer and soft drinks will be provided, with a cash bar for mixed drinks. The annual fundraiser helps raise money to develop habitat for upland birds and wildlife throughout the three-county area. The local chapter has been recognized nationally for spending more than $0.5 million on upland habitat improvements in Erie, Ottawa and Sandusky counties since its inception in 1991. “What is really great about Pheasants Forever is that all the money we raise at the banquet stays in our chapter area,” said Joe Uhinck, habitat chairman. Tickets will be available late January. For information on how to become involved or become a sponsor, call Uhinck at the Ottawa County Agricultural Office in Oak Harbor at 419-898-1595.
