I hope you like spaghetti!!!

There will be TWO spaghetti dinners the next two weeks for good causes. First, on Friday, Feb. 5, a spaghetti dinner will be served for Simon Mercurio, the 17-yearold who was paralyzed from the waist down in a tumbling accident. The din- Mercurio ner is from 4 to 6:30 p.m. in the Port Clinton High School Cafeteria and the price is $7 for adults and $5 for students. Afterward, (or after the PC basketball game) the Travelin’ Lounge Lizards will be playing the First Friday benefit party at Mango Mama’s from 8 to midnight. Tickets for that are $10, and will include a $100 raffle ticket for a Walmart gift certificate. Tickets are on sale at the door or from Minuteman Press, Our Guest Inn & Suites (downtown) or Great Lakes Popcorn.

The John Waite Family benefit will be held Saturday serving from 5 to 8 p.m. at Port Clinton Yacht Club. Nearly 80 items have been donated for a silent auction to take place during dinner. You could win ferry tickets, hotel and B&B or spa packages, dining certificates, jewelry, fishing trips, autographed Browns and Buckeyes memorabilia and much more.

You might even get to bid on playing the cowbell with the Travelin’ Lounge Lizards, who start playing at 8 p.m. Tickets are $12 and all proceeds will help the Waite family with their staggering medical bills ——— We had 98 correct entries in our Find Wylie contest last week. Our winner is Tim Glovinsky, of Port Clinton, who correctly found Wylie in the Commodore Perry Credit Union ad on page 2B last week. Tim wins a $20 gift card from Friendship Convenient Stores. We’ll hide Wylie again this week. If you find him, drop us a note at our office … or click on the Find Wylie icon online at www.thebeacon.net.

Oak Harbor Conservation Club

Ladies night

BY ANGIE ADAIR Ladies night out got a little loud Monday at the Oak Harbor Conservation Club. Nine at a time, the daughters, sisters and moms took aim during the Women on Target event offered by the club and the Women of the NRA. The class was free and taught by local shooters — male and female.

“It’s out of a love of firearms and to the share the knowledge,” said Harry DiCarlo, who did much of the classroom instruction.

The local classes have been going on for the past four years and the woman who spearheaded the event, Michelle Woods, directs the program that has graduated more than 100 ladies ranging in age from 17 to 85. Woods said they started the program to promote the junior pistol program.

“We figured if the moms understand, they would bring the kids out,” said Woods.

And though many of those in attendance don’t have competitionage kids, it seemed they all had a good time and learned a lot.

The three hours were split in the classroom and out in the range firing air pistols first, then rim-fire and center-fire pistols. The group listened to DiCarlo explain the guns — their parts, ammunition and function — then picked up the firearms, each with their own personal instructor. A 9 millimeter, an assortment of .22s, a .45 caliber as well as single- and double-action .38s were on hand for the practice.

According to participant Cathy Ha-

County for their generosity in 2009. Residents and businesses enthusiastically made financial and in-kind donations, which helped the Holiday Bureau provide 2,857 people, a total of 914 families, with food and other necessities during December. This could not happen without a tremendous show of giving and caring from a loving community.

It literally takes hundreds of volunteers to sort, pack and distribute the donated items. This happens over a three-day period — a huge commitment during a very busy time of year. Special thanks goes to our partner, the Salvation Army that provides toys for the children.

Women who wanted to help people in need began the Holiday Bureau nearly 40 years ago. Then, as now, the entire operation is funded by donations and operated by volunteers. I am proud to continue this legacy of giving and sharing.

Gratefully, Judy Just 2008 Ottawa County Holiday Bureau Chairwoman On behalf of the Respect Life Ministries of Immaculate Conception and St. Joseph Catholic Churches, we would like to thank you all for your witness to life in Washington, D.C., last Friday. For some it was a

financial sacrifice, for others it meant valuable time away from work, family or school. And for all of us it was a physical sacrifice of sore feet, tired legs and aching backs but most of you would agree that it was well worth it.

Organizing this trip was a bit nerve racking to say the least. Putting down huge non-refundable deposits on the bus and hotel without knowing for sure how many people would sign up required a great amount of trust and confidence in God’s plan for us.

I want to give credit where it is due and it was Judy’s faith and perseverance that kept things moving forward when I had doubts that we could actually make this happen. Thank you, Judy!

Many of you talked about next year before we even left D.C. Our Respect Life ministries meet together in early February and a trip for next year will certainly be discussed but we need your help before we make any decisions about that.

Please give us some feedback on your experience.

If you have some good group photos from the trip please e-mail them to me along with a quote or personal testimony about your experience that we could include on the flyer.

Thank you all again and I look forward to hearing from you.

Schools PC City Schools offering community computer classes

Erica Schimming is surrounded by her students, along with Troy Diels, dean of students, and Patrick Adkins, superintendent, after being named Port Clinton Middle School Teacher of the Quarter.

The Port Clinton City School District will once again offer computer classes for the community. Registration is required and more details will be provided with registration. The 2010 schedule includes the following classes: • Just the Basics A beginner computer class to discuss the basics of how to save files, burning CDs and “What is a USB anyway?” A great class for those just learning to use the computer but there will also be tips for the experienced user as well; 2 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 18.

• Picture This!

What can you do with all those digital pictures on your camera or computer?

This class will provide the answers. Participants will learn various methods to edit, store, send and share digital pictures; 2 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 24.

• Web Video — YouTube Here I Come!

This new class will offer participants hands-on experience using digital video cameras. Various techniques will be utilized to view and post Web casts and podcasts. Learn how to edit and share video on the web; 2 p.m. Thursday, March 22.

To register for any of the classes, call 419-732-2102, e-mail jgluth@pccsd.net or register online at http://www.pccsd.net/ forms/computerclasses/. The classes are free to residents of the Port Clinton City School District. Space is limited.

Being an explorer in the 1300-1500s could be rough. Your crew might desert you in Canada. You may end up secretly buried along the Mississippi River, hidden from angry natives. And there was always the nagging fear that you might sail off the end of the world.

On the other hand, you may be considered a godking, or end up with a galaxy named after you.

St. Boniface students learned this and other interesting facts as their social studies classmates created reports with PowerPoint and presented them on the classroom SMART Board. Using textbooks, encyclopedias and history books, along with a list of trusted Web sites provided by teacher Brenda Brahier, pairs of students researched noteworthy explorers such as Ferdinand Magellan, Marco Polo and Henry Hudson. Their reports included pictures and maps of their explorer’s voyages, as well as information such as the country they sailed for, the dates and purposes of the voyages, hardships encountered and whether or not the voyages were considered successful.

Students were given a choice of media to present their reports. All chose PowerPoint, having learned the program from computer class. The students began their

projects with their textbooks, but quickly found that good research was not as easy as checking an index or pulling up a Web site. Emma Bergman and Lucas Gregilla said Web sites usually gave more information than books, but it was often “iffy,” and they didn’t know if it was accurate. Chris Kuhn solved this by checking many different sites and watching to see which facts kept coming up the same.

When asked if they thought there were explorers today like those they studied, most students didn’t think so. Technology such as satellite imagery makes it unlikely that people could make new discoveries in the way of the old explorers. Astronauts, they believe, and undersea researchers such as Robert Ballard are the explorers of today. There are still exciting discoveries to be made without the worry of running out of world.

Schimming is Teacher Students at St. Boniface use of the Quarter at PCMS technology to study history

Erica Schimming, Port Clinton Middle School Fleet 7 math teacher, has been selected as the second Teacher of the Quarter by her students. PCMS students voted during their lunch periods for the one teacher they thought has been the most influential to them. All students could vote from a ballot of all teachers.

Some of the quotes from students on their nomination forms about Schimming included: “She makes math fun,” “She makes me work hard and learn” and “She understands me.” When asked how

students would describe Schimming, some said “Awesome,” “The Best” and “Fun.” Schimming received a trophy donated

by PCMS Student Council, Certificate of Appreciation, a gift certificate donated by Hair Quarters and gift certificate donated

by The End Zone. In addition, Schimming received a “coupon” for one class to be taught by Carrie Sanchez, PCMS principal.

The Teacher of the Quarter program was initiated this year to give teachers the opportunity to be recognized by their students for all their time and energy.

Several honored at Ohio University Courtney Kihlken and Marie Wlodarczyk recently graduated from Ohio University in Athens. Kihlken, of Marblehead, earned a bachelor of science in education and graduated cum laude. Wlodarczyk, of Port Clinton, earned a bachelor of arts in economics.

The following students were recently

named to the dean’s list at OU: • Cody Brough, senior psychology major, from Oak Harbor.

• Jason Sharp, junior exercise physiology major, from Oak Harbor.

• Elizabeth Polachek, senior hearing, speech and language science major, from Port Clinton.

Terrific Kids In cooperation with the Port Clinton Kiwanis Club, Port Clinton City Schools recognizes outstanding elementary students as “Terrific Kids.” The following have been honored as Terrific Kids in December: • Bataan Memorial Elementary: Teagan Kelley, Hunter Bechtel, Rebekah Nehls, Austin Helton, Garrett Cornell, Maddie Ingram, Thomas Ball, Justin May, Megan Bolyard, Rebekah Koehl, Emma Gottron, Alaina Dackermann, Caden Chapman, Grace Heilmann, Hailey Ranzenberger,

Carli Laurel, Mandi Koehl, Camden Riggs and Henry Mowery.

• Jefferson Elementary: Analisa Snyder, Alexis Yoh, Amaya Henderson, Madison Vargas Bryanna Barr, Morgan Bagovich, Alexius Borton, Cailee James, Brandon Davis, Quincy Kowal, Hannah Castro, Ashlyn Borton, Eian Burkholder, Taylor Diles, Briana Escobedo, Natalie Gottron, Tori Glaze, Zach Barr, Raelynne Floriana and Rebecca Jones.

At 53, Lori Berardi wasn’t ready to stop working and enjoying life.

But cancer changed those plans, and a month before her death Stein Hospice was contacted. Lori spent the last two weeks of her life at our inpatient care center, surrounded by her warm and gregarious family, who circled the bed to cry and sing, pray and laugh.

Just days before her death, Lori promised her family she would send them a rainbow when she reached heaven. On the day of her funeral, as family and friends filtered out of the church, two brilliant rainbows illuminated the sky.

Stein Hospice made promises too. Stein promised Lori and her family they would provide medical care – and much more. Stein would send chaplains, social workers, bereavement counselors, massage therapists, home health aides and volunteers whenever she or her family needed or wanted those services. Stein would be available around the clock to answer questions and offer comfort. Stein would provide continuous care as Lori grew weaker and death was imminent.

Stein Hospice promised Lori and her family to share their journey.

“All the burdens were lifted and all we had to do was love her,” said Lori’s sister, Sue Fawcett. “Stein offered the comfort and suport our family needed during this difficult experience.”

The family’s only regret is that they didn’t contact Stein Hospice sooner.

Since 1982, Stein has lifted the burdens of thousands of families like the Berardis. We help light the way, while families are losing a loved one.

It’s Saturday night, about 7:30 and deep, deep dark outside. It’s been a rainy, blustery day — but fairly warm — and most of the snow that had covered the ground has melted away. But there is more snow in the weather forecast for Toledo. So maybe if it gets colder again we’ll see more accumulation of the white stuff. ——— Don’t forget that the Ida Rupp Library is showing interesting movies on some Friday nights. Show time is 7 p.m.

A schedule is available at the library’s circulation desk and events are listed in The Beacon’s Community Calendar.

These movies are fun. The last one I saw was “Julia and Julie,� an interesting story about Julia Child and a woman unknown to her who tried to cook all of the recipes in Child’s cookbook, “The Joy of French Cooking.� Julia Child is portrayed by Meryl Streep. Strep is absolutely spectacular and has Child’s voice, accent and mannerisms down pat. It’s a very entertaining motion picture.

Another movie I’d like to see is Harrison Ford’s newest.

He plays a scientist trying to help a father of two children who have been stricken with a rare, fatal disease. ——— Kern Center at Terra Community College has its winter/ spring catalog of courses out, so now is the time to sign up to learn something new. There are classes in supervision and management, computer skills, grant writing, foreign

languages, music and so much more. Many courses are also offered on-line.

EHOVE Adult Career Center also has courses to help those searching for careers. Culinary arts, health care, computer skills and public safety are among the class offerings. Marine trades and cosmetology are also popular at that facility. ——— Several people who read in this column that lots of folks have sinus problems this year have a solution. They have purchased a little teapot like device and in that goes warm water in a saline solution. To use you tip your head to the side, pour the solution into one side of your nose, it runs through the sinuses and out the other nostril, cleaning out passages as it moves along.

I’m going to try it soon. The drawings look a little complicated. I’m not sure I can do it but I’m going to give it a try. I am not good at reading instructions (and actually hate following written instructions). Considering that it took several weeks to learn to wear pierced earrings “painfree,� this procedure sounds like something that would not be easy for me. But I’d sure like to get relief from sinus pain.

Carolyn Culp forwarded an email that said a combination of cinnamon and honey is good for a lot of health problems as a home remedy. A combination of the two foods supposedly helps cure arthritis, bladder infection, upset stomach, gas, influenza, pimples, colds, skin infection and halitosis. It is also said to improve hearing, lower cholesterol levels and assist the immune system. For weight loss, drinking honey and cinnamon boiled in one cup of water early in the morning (before breakfast) and then again at night before sleeping may be helpful.

I can’t vouch for the efficiency of any of these cures. But it likely wouldn’t hurt to try them. ——— ‌ And so now it is Monday evening and time to finish writing this and the get it over to The Beacon offices.

Today the weather turned cold and it seemed as if it all happened in mid-morning. The climate was mild at the time I went to work and then it was cold and windy by lunchtime. It also snowed a bit today and it may continue doing that through Tuesday. There is ice on the top of some of the bodies of water around our community. But the ice is, by no means, safe to go out on it. So be sure you know what you are doing and be sure you know the ice is thick enough to support you if you decide to try your luck ice fishing or skating. Otherwise those can be very dangerous sports. ——— I am looking for a walker — the kind that is used in assistance with walking following hip and knee surgery. The kind that seems best to me is the one with two wheels.

I don’t need this for myself but would like to have it on hand. Do you have a used one to donate or sell for a minimal amount? If so, just contact me at 419-734-2753.

Also, I want to say thanks for all the Christmas cards that were given to me for a youth craft project. I have plenty of cards now and will put them to good use. ——— Do you feel stressed? Lots of people do. “The Well Workplace� newsletter lists these events as being the most stressful in a person’s life: death of a spouse, divorce, marital separation, time in jail, death of a close family member, personal illness or injury, marriage, pregnancy or retirement. The newsletter also lists some ways to cope with stress and I’ve paraphrased some of them in the following paragraphs and added a few additional ideas.

The “remedies� for stress included relaxation using deep breathing exercises, an active lifestyle with plenty of exercise, healthy eating, making “to-do� lists and planning your time well, and preparing ahead for stressful events by picturing the event in your mind and having a backup plan if things go wrong. Talking to family members or friends if you feel stressed may help, and, of course, seeking professional guidance is always an option if you need it. I would add to all of that to get plenty of rest and make sure you get your sleep on a regular schedule. Also it’s wise to limit alcohol, caffeine and sugary foods. (When you decide to undertake some exercise, be sure it is something you enjoy doing.)

Something that really helps me keep from getting stressed-out is not only making a list but then also arranging the items on it in priority order. Do the important things first and do “first things first.� For example, if you have something that must be done in the afternoon, let that be the first thing you work on in the morning. When you get that task finished, you can deal with the other items on your list.

I also like to make a good plan for doing errands. Plan a route so as not to do any backtracking. Do the same with your grocery list. Imagine the layout of the grocery store and arrange your list in the order that you will walk through the store. When I shop without a list I backtrack incessantly. And sometimes I also forget some of the important items that I need. So a list can be very helpful for some people.

The most stress-producing component of my life at home currently is not having a good system for dealing with stacks of paper. I don’t get the paperwork properly organized and labeled and therefore spend too much time searching for what I need — sometimes going through the same stack of paper several times. I need to get a handle on that. I guess I’ll do some serious reading about that and then follow the experts’ advice.

But, readers, do you have any suggestions about dealing with too much paper? If so, send them to me at ginny@ nwonline.net and I’ll not only use them at home but will also share the ideas in this column.

The deep ruby/purple-colored 2003 Vacqueyras Grandy (75% Grenache and 25% Syrah) possesses sweet, chewy fruit and body, abundant tannin and plenty of depth and intensity. Its low acidity and exotic characteristics suggest consumption over the next 5-7 years is warranted.

The Stella Bertz Memorial Cheerleading Association will again host its annual cheerleading competition with all collected donations being distributed to three noteworthy causes. Fifteen percent of the total profit will be donated directly to the American Cancer Society; while a portion of the funds will be used to assist in the purchase of new equipment for the Genoa Area School District’s cheerleading squads. The remaining funds will be contributed to the Stella Bertz Memorial Scholarship Fund.

This year’s event is scheduled for Saturday, Feb. 20, at the Genoa Area High School. Doors will open at 7 a.m. Squads from local schools, as well as various elite teams, come to participate in this well-known championship. Approximately 50 squads, ranging in age from Pee Wee to College, will compete for the championship title. The day’s events

If you would like to make a contribution, need information or would like to enter a team, call Maria Maluchnik or Jen Bullock at 419-345-0911.

Bertz, an enthusiastic Genoa Comet supporter, coached cheerleading in the district for more than 10 years. She could be spotted at any Genoa sporting event, come rain or shine, no matter what the game, she just loved supporting the kids.

Wendy said. “So we’re giving proceeds generated from Ben’s newest Plein Air print, ‘Setting the Sail,’ directly to that effort.� “We have thousands of collectors who, with their purchase of this print, can help the homeless, the needy and especially the children who don’t even have basic necessities,� she said. “At the same time those who contribute, will receive an everlasting reminder of their charity. We will also add their names, personal or business, to a letter which will be sent along with the monies raised to the American Red Cross relief efforts,� she continued. “We did a similar campaign after the 9-11 attacks and hurricane Katrina, which raised literally thousands of dollars. We know times are tough, but this is one way for anyone to help those in need and get something tangible in return,� Wendy said.

The farm also will be adding to its line of potatoes, herbs, squashes and specialty lettuce mixes.

Seeds of Hope Farm is also expanding the number of Community Supported Agriculture shares available to the public. In 2010, 100 shares will be offered on a first-come, first-served basis. CSA shares are offered for individuals and families of varying sizes and include both working and nonworking shares. Shareholders receive more than 20 weekly shipments of locally grown, all-natural, seasonal produce. The farm offers pick-up sites for CSA members in Port Clinton, Tiffin, Findlay and Perrysburg.

Seeds of Hope Farm also maintains a self-service farm stand open from dawn to dusk on the St. Francis campus during the growing season. The farm stand features seasonal vegetables,

eggs from free-range laying hens, as well as whole

and cut-up chickens from pastured broilers. Both eggs and chickens are available year round.

The farm’s continued growth has required adaptation of the barn areas used for packaging and storing produce. Staff members spent winter months building new and more-efficient staging areas for preparing and packing vegetables for shareholders, the on-site farm stand and wholesale buyers, as well as areas for long- and short-term storage of produce.

Seeds of Hope Farm is a small, diversified farm dedicated to the production of quality, chemical-free vegetables, herbs, eggs and meat chickens. Located in Tiffin on the St. Francis campus, the farm operates in partnership with the Franciscan Earth Literacy Center, an environmental education and demonstration center serving northwest and northcentral Ohio.

Seeds of Hope Farm is managed by Sr. Rita Wienken, who with more than 30 years experience in sustainable agriculture, has developed numerous methods for producing the high

est quality vegetables and herbs. Assistant Farm Man

Health Health department clinics

Health department offering free H1N1 vaccine clinics The Ottawa County Health Department continues to encourage all individuals to get protected against the H1N1 virus and is offering clinics. There is an ample supply of free vaccine available for anyone wishing to receive it.

CDC recommends influenza vaccination as the first and most important step in protecting against the flu. Because supply and availability of the H1N1 vaccine have increased dramatically, CDC is now encouraging everyone to get vaccinated at this time.

Even though flu activity has decreased over the past few weeks, there is still a likelihood of future wave of H1N1 influenza. However, if more people are vaccinated, the disease is less likely to spread in the coming months.

It is also important that children age 6 months through 9 years receive two doses of H1N1 vaccine spaced at least 28 days apart. Because the H1N1 flu strain is unlike others,

children appear to have virtually no immunity to it. For that reason, the CDC recommends that children receive two doses to obtain the maximum protective benefit.

Ottawa County Health Department has a supply of H1N1 influenza vaccine for anyone 6 months or older who would like to receive it. There is no vaccine available for infants less than 6 months old.

The health department continues to offer H1N1 vaccine clinics. The clinics are by appointment only and the vaccine is free. Clinic dates and times are as follows: 3 to 6 p.m.

Jan. 28, 9 to 11 a.m. Jan. 30 and 4 to 6 p.m. Feb. 4.

For an appointment or questions, call the health department at 419-734-6800. Visit the Ottawa County Health Department’s Web site for future clinic dates at www.ottawacountyhealth.org.

PCHS Redskins win squeaker at Bellevue to stay unbeaten 2010 Athletic

BY JOHN SCHAFFNER Oh, those three-point shots! The undefeated Port Clinton Redskins ran into a red hot Bellevue team on Saturday night and nearly saw their undefeated regular season go away. The Bellevue Redmen hit on 12 three-pointers that kept them in the game until the end. However, the Port Clinton Redskins still managed to prevail 60-58 to run their season record to 12-0.

The win at Bellevue followed the second win of the season against Oak Harbor by a comfortable but significantly narrower margin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oak Harbor has been playing good basketball lately and I think that continued on Friday night,â&#x20AC;? said PC Coach Troy Diels. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We missed a lot of shots at the rim that we usually make.â&#x20AC;?

The Redskins were led in scoring by Derek Colston who had 22. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Derek has the capability to have nights like that all the time,â&#x20AC;? said Diels. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Derek is very unselfish and does a great job of taking what defenses give him. Friday night we needed him to

step up and be a scorer and he did it very well.â&#x20AC;?

On Saturday, the Redskins nearly fell victim to Bellevueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s three-point juggernaut. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They shot the ball very well, to say the least,â&#x20AC;? said Diels on Monday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our kids were in the correct spots on defense, but they shot the ball with a lot of confidence. Otherwise, I feel very good about winning a game on the road against a quality opponent.â&#x20AC;?

The Redskins will put the 12-0 record on the line this Friday night when they travel to meet Margaretta. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Going against Margaretta always presents a challenge in itself for us,â&#x20AC;? said Diels. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The last couple of years have been better for us, but it always a tough place for us to play.â&#x20AC;? The Polar Bears lost a one-point game to Clyde last week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought they played with as much confidence in that game as I have seen out of them this year,â&#x20AC;? said Diels. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will need to be ready for a battle on Friday night.â&#x20AC;?

Oak Harbor sweeps SBC duals

BY J. PATRICK EAKEN Hosting the SBC duals is always exciting for the host team, especially when that team dominates the field and goes undefeated.

Oak Harbor did just that this past weekend as eight teams walked into the gym and only one came out with a perfect 7-0 record.

Oak Harbor rolled through the competition. The Rocket wrestlers left no doubt that they are the superior team in the SBC. Things started off on a high note with a 61-0 victory over Margaretta and were left at pretty much that, averaging 61 points per match while giving up no more than 16 points in any dual and losing no more than three matches in any dual.

Oak Harbor defeated Perkins 62-6, Sandusky St. Mary Central Catholic 60-16, Huron 71-3, Clyde 59-15, Port Clinton 60-14, and Edison 55-15.

Six of the wrestlers finished things off with perfect 7-0 records, which should earn them top seeds when the tournament comes up.

The perfect Rockets were Drew Stone (125 pound weight class), Jake Cramer (140), Ian Miller (145), Konner Witt (160), Mike Mallernee (171), and Sean McGee (189).

Others with only one loss were Alec Bowlick (103), Luke Cramer (112), Alex Bergman (130), Zach Bergman (135), and Zach Sandwisch (285). Kyle Mincheff (152) and Jonny Bergman (215) were both 5-2, and Josh Chambers was 2-5.

The wrestlers will be in action this week at Napoleon High School as they take on Napoleon and Findlay Thursday, Jan. 28.

Redskins rebound after tough loss Tiffin Invitational

Port Clintonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jared Dunn vowed to make his senior year outstanding and last week against Fremont St. Joe at Harbor Lanes he lived up to his promise, striking on 27 out of 37 shots and rolled games of 267-245 to set a school record for two-game series with 512. Freshman Sean Black was close behind striking on 26 out of 34 shots for games of 244-244 for a 488 series. Sophomore Jonny New-

BY J. PATRICK EAKEN Last week, the Danbury boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; varsity basketball team defeated Cardinal Stritch 65-50, but lost to Ottawa Hills 68-59. Both games were played on the road.

The Lakers are now 7-4 overall, 4-2 in the Toledo Area Athletic Conference. Stritch is winless in 13 games, including seven conference games.

Ottawa Hills, on the other hand, is 10-1 overall and perfect in six conference games.

In the win over Danbury, Rodney Johnson had two 3-point goals and scored 16 points to lead the Lakers, Tyler Boring had 15 points, Hunter Stephens added 14 points, and point guard Vincent Manuella scored 10 points. Steven Feyedelum had six points on two three point goals, and Dakota Hruby added four points on two 2-point goals. For Stritch, Justin Staler scored 21 points, including three 3-point goals.

The Lakers led by only four points, 15-11, after one quarter, but outscored the Cardinals 19-8 over the next eight minutes to take a 34-19 halftime lead.

Each team scored 31 points in the second half as Danbury held off any

hopes of a Stritch upset bid. The Cardinals did have six 3-point goals.

In the loss to league leader Ottawa Hills, the Green Bears ran to a 23-8 first quarter to quickly dispel any hopes of a Danbury victory.

However, the Lakers fought back, closing the gap to 37-25 at halftime, and then outscored Ottawa hills 3431 in the second half.

Johnson scored 22 points and Stephens scored 20 points to lead the Lakers, while Manuella had seven points, Nathan Hartman had six points, and Boring had four points.

Manuella and Johnson each had a trey for Danbury.

Elliot Browarsky dominated for the Green Bears, scoring 27 points on only six field goals, including two 3-point goals, and 13 free throws.

The Danbury boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; basketball game at Maumee Valley Country Day originally scheduled for Jan. 7 will be made up Tuesday, Feb. 16 with the junior varsity game starting at 6 p.m.

On Tuesday, Jan. 26, the Lakers were to contend with another TAAC opponent, Emmanuel Christian (3-9), 6854 losers to Monclova Christian (9-5) last Friday.

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be an â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Opposite Dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; investor On Jan. 25, some of us celebrate Opposite Day. Its origins are murky and even its exact date is in some dispute, but Opposite Day has proved to be a source of fun for many people, especially children, who choose to eat breakfast at suppertime and otherwise do things in reverse. However, you may find that acting in an â&#x20AC;&#x153;oppositionalâ&#x20AC;? manner is not so harmless at other times in your life â&#x20AC;&#x201D; such as when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re investing.

What types of â&#x20AC;&#x153;oppositionalâ&#x20AC;? moves should you avoid? Consider the following:

Buying when prices are high When the financial markets keep rising, many people continue buying more shares in the mistaken belief that â&#x20AC;&#x153;upâ&#x20AC;? is the only direction their investments can go. But while it may be human nature to want to continue racking up gains, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not necessarily smart investing. The higher an investment has gone, the more likely it becomes that it will plateau or potentially even drop in value. Of course, an investment may one day rise again, but for the near term, its â&#x20AC;&#x153;upside potentialâ&#x20AC;? may be limited, so you might do better by finding other opportunities. â&#x20AC;˘ Selling because prices are low â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Just as some investors keep buying when prices are rising, others will sell when prices have dropped, just so they can â&#x20AC;&#x153;cut their losses.â&#x20AC;? This may be a mistake. If the investment still plays a role in your balanced portfolio, and you believe its prospects are still good, you may want to hold on to it despite its price. Furthermore, if your investmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decline is due more to an overall drop in the market than a change in its own fundamentals, it may bounce back when the market recovers.

Generally speaking, you should sell an investment if your goals or risk tolerance have changed, if you need to rebalance your portfolio or if the investment itself has undergone some type of shift that no longer makes it compatible with your needs.

Investing too conservatively Given the volatility weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen in the last couple of years, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s probably not too surprising that many investors have â&#x20AC;&#x153;pulled backâ&#x20AC;? from the market and put a lot of money in certificates of deposit and other fixed-rate, low-return investments. While there is a place for these vehicles in your portfolio, you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want them to become too dominant â&#x20AC;&#x201D; because you still need to invest for growth if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to achieve your long-term goals, such as a comfortable retirement. The amount of growth-oriented investments you own will depend on your risk tolerance and time horizon, but thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no point in your life â&#x20AC;&#x201D; even your retirement years â&#x20AC;&#x201D; when you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need some growth potential.

Failing to diversify It is important to diversify your dollars among stocks, bonds, government securities and other investments. Even within these broad classes, you should diversify â&#x20AC;&#x201D; for example, you should consider owning stocks representing different industries and bonds with a variety of issuers and maturities. While diversification, by itself, cannot guarantee a profit or protect against loss, it can help reduce the effects of volatility on your portfolio.

Opposite Day comes but once a year. But making â&#x20AC;&#x153;oppositionalâ&#x20AC;? investment moves can have long-lasting â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and potentially harmful â&#x20AC;&#x201D; effects. So take the time to explore your investment decisions carefully.
