TellTales BY JOHN SCHAFFNER

For most of his 23 years, Grant Dziak has dreamed of charging onto the field at “The Shoe” as a member of the Ohio State Buckeyes. Now, he is living the dream. The son of Mary Snider at Mary’s Blossom Shoppe impressed Jim Tressel and his coaches with his hard work and Grant Dziak his determination to the point that now he wears No. 46 on his scarlet uniform for OSU home games. He is listed as a sophomore for eligibility purposes, which means he has been working in the weight room and the classroom since graduating from Port Clinton High School five years ago. When he spoke with me on Tuesday, he wanted to thank especially his family for their support and his trainer, Phil Fought, PC football strength coach. What a great story. ——— We had 167 entries in our Find Wylie contest last week. Jim Witter, of Port Clinton, found him hiding in the Mattress and Furniture Liquidation ad on page 11A last week and wins a $20 gift certificate to Kokomo Bay. We will be hiding Wylie again this week. When you find him, just drop us a note at our office or click on the Find Wylie icon online at www.thebeacon.net. Also, Marilou Karr wins a $20 Friendship Food Stores Gas Card for signing up on our “Win it on the Web” contest just by clicking icon on our web site. That’s how easy it is to win! ——— It is now officially autumn here along the lakeshore. We are still a ways away from haul out season for the boaters, but United Way has a new program as you get your boat or camper ready for winter. Local marinas and campgrounds are participating in a food drive to help stock local food pantries. So, if you have non-perishable food items, paper and cleaning products, etc., don’t throw it out! Turn it in to your marina office or campground office to be put to a good and charitable use. ——— Class reunions abound these days. First, the Port Clinton High School All-Class reunion is this weekend, culminating in a party at Mango Mama’s starting around 6 p.m. on Saturday. The PCHS Class of 1939 held its 70th with 10 in attendance a couple of weeks ago. Attendees included Curt and Arlene Nelson, Dick and Alberta Kaspar, Dick and Lucille Smith, Deloris Harnish, Lillian Hanes, Dottie Bredbeck and Mary Alice Streeter. Last week, we reported on the 55th Class Reunion of PCHS, but hit a 6 instead of a 5 in the first line, making the folks in that class suddenly 10 years older. We apologize for the mistake. Also, a couple of weeks ago, 28 members of the PCHS Class of 1967 celebrated their collective 60th birthday party at Mon Ami. ——— Bay Township Volunteer Fire Department will host its 42nd annual Chicken Barbecue this Sunday, Sept. 27, from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at the fire station located on Ohio 53 south of Port Clinton. A half-chicken dinner is only $8. You can eat it there, or take it home. ——— John Clemons of J&D Basement Systems will be sharing part of his tent at this weekend’s Harvest Festival with the Humane Society of Ottawa County. They will have adoptable pets there on Friday from 5 to 8 p.m.; Saturday from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. ——— The Ladies of Faith United Methodist Church at the corner of 5th and Jackson streets in Port Clinton will be back in the kitchen for the Fourth Friday luncheon this Friday from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. They will be serving up their delicious homemade soups, sandwiches and pies. Beverages are free. Speaking of faith, Jim and Shirley Tubbs will present a traditional inspirational service of music there this Sunday starting at 9 a.m. The couple has done more than 3,000 concerts. ——— Nugent’s Canal Yacht Club will host its annual Auxiliary Card Party this Wednesday, Sept. 30, starting at noon. It is $6 per person which includes a salad bar. The public is welcome. For reservations, call Nell Enright at 419-732-3762.

Aluminum Overcast The Experimental Aircraft Association’s restored B-17 bomber, Aluminum Overcast, arrived at the Erie-Ottawa Regional Airport Monday as part of the 2009 Salute to Veterans national tour. Vets were brought over from the Ohio Veterans Home and the crew took some for a ride. “I’m 81 years old and this is a new experience for me. I’ll probably be scared to death,” said Bud Walters before the flight. Walters, from Dover, came with the Veterans Home group and served in the Navy from 1951 to 1954. “(Veterans) go from one extreme to the other,” said crewmember Larry Gray. “Some will just break down. Others just shake their heads and walk out.”

Schools ready for swine flu Schools are taking a common sense approach to keeping kids safe from the flu this year. After the H1N1 virus was declared a pandemic in July, health officials started distributing information to area schools preparing them for onslaught of questions — and germs — that the beginning of the year would bring. “We are following the same precautions we would for any flu,” said Pat Adkins, superintendent of Port Clinton City Schools. “We feel very prepared if something were to happen.” Teachers at Danbury Schools are

Ottawa County Health Department.......... 419-734-6800 Ohio H1N1 Information Line....................... 866-800-1404 working to be proactive — especially with the younger kids — reminding them to wash their hands and cough into their elbows, according to superintendent Dan Parent. The district has also installed hand sanitizers in every classroom and the cafeteria. “Precautionary measures are our main concern right now,” Parent said.

The Beacon I Thursday, September 24, 2009

SoundOff I could go on, but you get the picture! The library has something for everyone. In the past, the state has paid for 95 percent of the library’s expenses. This year, the library has suffered a 31 percent cut in these state funds, and that was preceded by approximately 8 percent in cuts since 2001. The facility has laid off the part-time staff, cut the hours of full-time staff, eliminated DVD purchases, drastically cut book purchases and reduced opening hours in an effort to stay within the budget. If we want the kind of library we have had in the past, we must support it now. Please vote YES for the library levy, Issue 18. Peggy Debien, Co-Chairwoman, Citizens for Ida Rupp Public Library To the Editor: Many thanks to the donors and volunteers that contributed their efforts to the Red Cross Blood drive held on Saturday, Sept. 12, at the Catawba Island Community Center. The drive was a great success! Special thanks to the men and women who gave up their Saturday morning to give blood, the gift of life! Thank you to all the volunteers: the Ladies of the Trinity United Methodist Church, Linda Snyder, and guest Linda, Toni De Luca, Mary Triska, Marcia Sprenger, Phyllis Cousino, Mike Minor, Dale Dietrich and Alice Holly. Edwina Minor, Red Cross Blood Drive Chairmen Dear Editor: The members of the Port Clinton Knights of Columbus would like to thank everyone who attended and contributed to the success of the fifth annual Perch, Peach, Pierogi and Polka Festival. This is the second year that the local K. of C. has organized the event and this year’s was the most successful to date. We could not have achieved this feat without the tremendous outpouring of support by community members, local businesses and, of course, our visitors to the Northcoast. We would especially like to acknowledge the businesses and individuals listed here for ensuring the success of our festival: Fellhauer Electric, The

Dear Editor, This letter is written in support of the upcoming library levy in November. When we look at our city we can comprehend the value of our outstanding schools, hospital and library. Our Ida Rupp Public Library is a showpiece of our city. We are so fortunate to have a library that serves so many people throughout the county. With cutbacks already made the writing is certainly on the wall of possible reduction in services and the use of the library conference rooms, etc. If you haven’t been to our library recently you should see its update with all the new volumes of books that provide education and leisure reading. The children use the computers after school as well as the children’s reading areas, the many school tours to the library, the summer reading programs and special community events held in the conference rooms. With my wife and I walk through the doors of our library we are greeted by a friendly library staff ready to help us with whatever library needs we may have. Let’s show our support on November 3, 2009. Please join my wife and me in voting yes for the library levy. They have helped us for many, many years; now it is time for us to step forward and help them. Vote yes for the library. Thank you. Mayor Dr. Tom and Helen Brown, Retired Port Clinton

Beacon Bits By Virginia Park

As we near the end of September, more and more fall colors appear in the foliage. It’s a beautiful time of the year and one that is interesting to watch. Almost all of the green hues in the woodlots are now a lighter, less vibrant emerald color. On most days, if a person is watching carefully, the colors can be seen as being different from the day before.

In my own lawn the colors of the bushes, trees and flower stems and leaves have already changed significantly. And many folks now have mums in glorious bloom. I always feel a kind of bittersweet emotion at this time of year. It is a nice to see the color changes, but they signify that warm summer weather is coming to an end and that before long, cold temperatures will be upon us. In the meantime, let’s all just enjoy the autumn and maybe take a ride or two around the countryside. It’s definitely the time to take a little excursion and see the wondrous colors of nature. ——— Here are a couple of reminders that folks have mentioned to me. First, Dan Mulligan asked me to mention that this coming Sunday, Sept. 27, is the date for the 42nd annual chicken barbecue dinner hosted by the Bay Township Volunteer Fire Department. This is a Dr. Gregory Hart, DDS great event to attend. The 3274 NE Catawba Road Port Clinton, OH 43452 Amish-grown chicken is cooked over an open pit fire, www.catawbadental.com using a special sauce. Baked potatoes, coleslaw, roll and butter, and dessert round out the meal. Either one-half or onequarter chicken meals are available. Serving time is from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at the Bay Township Hall on Ohio 53, about 4 miles southwest of Port Clinton. The public is invited to attend. Advance tickets are available from any firefighter; tickets will also be sold at the door. I hope you’ll make this great event, one of the must-do items on your early fall calendar. ——— For information on the library levy go to The second reminder is http://sites.google.com/site/idarupplibrary2009 this: Judy Knecht, long-time volunteer at the Care and Share facility at Gypsum, mentioned that the needs of many people are very great Paid for by CITIZENS FOR IDA RUPP PUBLIC LIBRARY at this time.

many who are working unable to live adequately on the small amount of money they make at low-paying jobs, Care and Share is pressed to the limit to provide for them. Care and Share is looking for donations of anything that can be of use to someone else. Clothing, furniture items, appliances and accessories that you no longer need can find a home, free of charge, with someone who needs them. So please take donations of your items to Care and Share on Wednesdays from 9 a.m. to noon and on Fridays from 2 to 5 p.m. Someone will be there to accept these things. The building is open at the same time, to people who can come in and find things that would be useful in their lives. There is no charge for anything but a donation is always welcome. Contributions of money are also needed to help Care and Share with their mission of providing necessities to those who need them. To keep the facility open and functioning, utilities must be paid. And there are always other expenses, too, although all of the workers serve on a voluntary basis. This is a place where community members can really help each other. So when you are doing your fall cleaning, don’t forget to help Care and Share. But don’t go to the building and leave your donations outside. This makes more work for the volunteers. And absolutely do not take items that are broken or in any other way unsuitable for use. Doing so means the workers must haul away the junk. This takes time and money away from their ministry. For information, call 419-797-2531 and Judy will be happy to let you know how your donations can help or even tell you how you can obtain an item you need to make life a little easier. ——— Bill and Donna Sijan are leaving our area and moving permanently to Idaho. These folks have lived at Catawba for many years and have been wonderful citizens in our community. The move comes as a result of their adult children wanting them to live nearer to their extended family. Donna and Bill say that they want to make the move while they are feeling strong and healthy and well able to do so. Their house is sold and the last time I talked to Donna they were busily packing and sorting through things they no longer needed. I am not sure exactly when they leave, but when I have a new address for them, I’ll share it in this column. Meantime, we all wish the Sijans the best of luck in this new phase of their lives. ——— Leah and Steve Tusen hosted an evening ice cream party at their home recently, inviting as their guests the members of the Sarah Ladies group from Trinity United Methodist Church at Port Clinton. For the program, Steve explained the art of Bonsai and described how long-living plants are

kept at a very small size in specially designed containers. He also explained the hobby of model railroading which he incorporates into the area where he keeps the Bonsai. Steve has been collecting plants and caring for them for many several years. And now he is seeing the wonderful results of his labors as the miniature plants take on real and mature beauty. Steve explained that he has always loved farming and working with plants. The miniature plants give him the opportunity to garden in a small confined space. So, in many ways, he has the best of both worlds. His plants have been collected from many parts of the world and he has chosen some of them for their very unusual characteristics. One plant that he likes especially came from Australia. He also has specimens of trees and plants that have lived on earth for thousands of years. It is wonderful to see these items and realize that their “ancestors” wore here when dinosaurs roamed the earth. Now, if you happen to be wondering about just what an “ice cream party” consists of, here is a description of what Leah did: She provided several kinds of ice cream, and invited her guests to bring toppings or foods that especially complement ice cream. Some of the innovative items that appeared were pineapple, maraschino cherries, bananas, chocolate syrup, peanuts and other flavored toppings. I didn’t see any strawberries, but those would have been good, too. As if that were not have enough, some cookies and other accompanying foods were provided by the guests. It seemed like a wonderful way to serve a veritable buffet of ice cream treats. ——— Football season is under way, and high school and college games are spoken of everywhere. This is good weather to attend a game. It is still warm in the evenings and comfortable to be outside. So now is the time to go to watch your favorite team — before the weather turns bitter. ——— The catalog for the Kern Center at Terra Community College is now available. Business-related courses (both on-campus and online) are featured. There is even a “brown bag lunch series’ where interested parties can take their lunch and participate in a one-session class setting. And these are free. Two of the topics coming up are recycling and wind energy. So if you’re looking for a bit of a change in your life, this may be the time to sign up for a college course. It will be mind stretching and enjoyable — just what the doctor ordered for people at loose ends who do not have jobs or for folks who are retired and want to keep active. Look into it by calling Terra Community College at 419-559-2255.

“We are recommending that everyone get their seasonal flu shots,” Osborn said. Last year about 1,600 across the county received a seasonal flu shot. The Ottawa County Health Department will continue to monitor cases of influenza throughout the area to keep the schools informed and post information on its Web site, www.ottawahealth.org. Graphs are posted on the site showing reports of influenza-like illness in the county in the past 31 days and showing the number of influenza diagnostic tests performed in the county and how many of those were positive for Type A flu. Local officials are expecting the swine flu vaccine to come in around the end of October. According to Osborn, the state will distribute the vaccine to each county based on its target population. “As more become available, everyone may be able to get them but until then we are directed to only administer the vaccine to those at the highest risk,” Osborn said. For information and upcoming vaccination clinics, call the Ottawa County Health Department at 419-734-6800. For information about swine flu, call the Ohio H1N1 Information line 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, at 1-866800-1404.

said. “I tell moms and dads that we’re always concerned with the health of the children … we’ll be in communication as needed,” Kershaw said. The HINI Toolkit — available online at www.cdc/gov/h1n1flu — offers up guidelines for school administrators to deal with all aspects of flu season, from how to communicate with parents to how long to stay home if you’re sick. Though details are still not available about how many vaccinations Ottawa County will receive and when, Parent said he offered up Danbury School as a possible clinic location. “Our plans are to make H1N1 vaccine available for people who have been identified as target populations by the CDC and Ohio Department of Health,” according to Ottawa County Health Commissioner Nancy Osborn. Those populations are: pregnant women, household caretakers of infants under 6 months, health care and EMS workers, people 6 months to 24 years old and individuals age 24 to 65 who have a chronic health condition.

Community members were greeted in the front parking lot by 10 antique tractors displayed for the morningâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s festivities. Residents enjoyed reminiscing about which tractor looked most like the type used on their

farms. Â A bit of banter went on about which brand of tractor was the best. As guest walked in the building they were able to view the Vintage Clothing display.

OSS Joint Solid Waste District awards grant to Otterbein North Shore Otterbein North Shore Retirement Living Community received $3,500 from the Ottawa/Sandusky/Seneca Joint Solid Waste District to purchase recycled picnic tables, chairs and benches for its assisted living patio. As required by the grant, the furniture has recycled content. It also resists sun and rain, is heavy and sturdy. It’s marketed as lasting 400 years and replaces furniture that was more than 10 years old and breaking down. OSS Joint Solid Waste District Director Tim Wasserman visited Otterbein and was impressed with the excellent quality of the furniture. Wasserman enjoyed “hobo stew” prepared by Wellness Director Denise McCubbin during his visit.

Edgewood Manor residents go ‘Back to the Wild’ Residents of Edgewood Manor took an out-of-facility trip to “Back to the Wild,” a wildlife rehabilitation and nature education center located in Castalia. Each year, the center receives more than 1,200 animals in need of help. Many are released back into their natural habitat. A few disabled animals, however, become permanent residents who are used in educational programs to benefit other wildlife. Owls, flying squirrels, bald eagles, foxes, hawks, waterfowl, amphibians, rabbits and deer are just some of the variety of animals the residents got to experience at the center. While taking a tour around the grounds, they learned about not only the characteristics of each animal but also how to protect the creatures’ habitats. “This was a wonderful trip,” said resident Fern Baumgartner. “I’m so glad I went.”

Prayer Time The Vineyard on Catawba recently hosted an inspiring talk on prayer by Rev. Bob Butcher and his wife, Anne. Anne played harp and piano. The large crowd of Vineyard residents and friends were encouraged to find quiet places and times to pray.

FootballRoundup CLYDE 44 — PORT CLINTON 0 By J. Patrick Eaken The Clyde Fliers shut down the Redskins’ offense en route to a 44-0 Sandusky Bay Conference victory Friday night. Clyde led only 7-0 after one quarter, scoring on a running play to the right for a touchdown. But four second quarter scores put the Fliers up 35-0 at halftime. Clyde added a third quarter touchdown and a 26-yard field goal in the third quarter to close out the scoring. The Fliers had 26 first downs to PC’s four, and 507 yards rushing to PC’s 38. Even in total offensive plays, the Fliers dominated 67 to 38. The PC passing game was even put at bay, with only 22 net yards. PC completed none of its 10 third down conversions and had to punt eight times. Port Clinton’s overall record now evens out at 2-2 overall, but the Redskins fall to 0-1 in the SBC. Clyde, with only a loss to Eastwood on its schedule, improves to 1-0 in the SBC. PC hosts Edison this Friday in another SBC encounter.

HILLTOP 54 — DANBURY 16 By J. Patrick Eaken Hilltop scored six first half touchdowns en route to opening Toledo Area Athletic Conference play with a 54-16 victory over Danbury Friday night. After Hilltop took a 41-0 halftime lead, Danbury came back and scored two second half touchdowns. Senior fullback George Biedenbach scored on a 20-yard run with 3:25 remaining in the third quarter, which was followed by a two-point conversion pass from senior quarterback Nathan Hartman to senior Rodney Johnson. Hartman scored on a one-yard run with 1:58 remaining in the game for Danbury’s second touchdown, and then he followed by running in the two-point conversion. Danbury (1-3 overall, 0-1 TAAC) travels to Northwood High School this Saturday for a 7:30 contest against Cardinal Stritch (0-4, 0-1). Stritch lost to Ottawa Hills in its TAAC opener, 33-30.

PERKINS 35 —OAK HARBOR 7

Rockets fall to Pirates

By J. Patrick Eaken Former Oak Harbor football coach Gary Quisno returned to town last Friday night with his current team, the Perkins Pirates, and soundly defeated the Rockets 35-7. In the first half, Perkins did all their scoring damage against the Rockets through the air. Perkins scored three first half touchdowns to take a 21-0 halftime lead.

Business Lake Erie Business Park on Ohio Solar Tour The Lake Erie Business Park — home to Ottawa County’s largest solar electric array — will be featured as part of the seventh annual Ohio Solar Tour. Green Energy Ohio is coordinating this annual event in cooperation with The American Solar Energy Society’s National Solar Tour, in what has become the largest demonstration of installed renewable energy technologies and energy efficient building practices in the United States. In addition to solar systems, the Ohio Solar Tour highlights wind, biomass, LEED design and a variety of energy-saving technologies. Interested members of the public are invited to view the 60-panel array from 1 to 4 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 4. Representatives

from the park, located on Ohio 2 west of Camp Perry, will be on-hand to answer any questions visitors might have about the renewable energy initiatives underway at the facility. The 13.4 kW array was installed on the roof of the site’s marquee 756,000 square foot facility in August 2008 by Dovetail Solar and Wind of Athens, Ohio. It is expected to produce approximately 14,900 kWh of electric power every year for the next 25 years. The electricity from the array supports Crown Battery’s Renewable Energy Center, which will use clean energy from the sun’s rays to provide the initial charge for the company’s line of high quality industrial

The large wind turbine, developed by Green Energy Technologies and purchased by Crown Battery, is the first of its kind in the nation. The turbine was installed in April of this year.

ance may protect them. But choosing the right amount of coverage, and the right type, is not quite that simple. So let’s take a look at two key questions you need to ask: How much insurance do I need? And what type of insurance is right for me? There are many factors to consider when determining how much insurance you need. That’s why you’ll need to look at some key variables in your life, such as: How many children do you have? Do you plan for them all to go to college? Do any of them have special needs? How many years left on your mortgage? What other debts do you have? An experienced financial professional will be able to use the answers to these questions and others to help determine how much life insurance you need. Your next step is to decide which type of coverage best fits your needs. Essentially, your choice is between term insurance, which offers a death benefit for a specific period of time, and permanent insurance, which can provide lifetime protection plus the potential to build cash value tax-deferred. Keep in mind that all guarantees are based on the claims-paying ability of the issuing insurance company and that certain features come at additional costs. There’s no hard-and-fast rule as to which type of coverage to choose. However, when you’re starting out in your career, and your children are young, you might find that term insurance could be a cost effective way for covering a short-term need (generally 20 years or less). On the other hand, if you choose a permanent insurance policy, such as whole life or universal life, you can potentially build cash value that you can access during your life on a tax-advantaged basis. Since permanent insurance has a cash value component, the premiums may initially be more costly than those for term insurance. Which choice — term or permanent — is right for you? It depends on a variety of factors, including your cash flow, your investment portfolio and how many years you plan on keeping your coverage. Also, you’ll need to review your insurance coverage regularly to make sure it still meets your needs and addresses any changes in your situation. A financial advisor can help you make the right selections.
