TELLTALES County BY JOHN SCHAFFNER

It was a blustery and eventful Snow Flurries Regatta last weekend at Port Clinton Yacht Club. One boat dismasted, and two members of the same family went overboard into the 59-degree water, on two different boats. Ian Kyle was tossed into the Lake aboard Ramon Eickert’s Coqui while Ian’s father Kevin took an unexpected swim while working the bow of Dave Caracci’s Crackerjack. Thankfully, nobody was seriously hurt. ——— We had only 19 “correct” entries in our Find Wylie contest last week. Apparently nobody expected us to hide Wylie on the front page ad for Catawba Mini Storage. Anyway, Sarah Hartley, of Catawba, wins a $20 gift certificate to Kokomo Bay. We will be hiding Wylie again this week. When you find him, fill out the form on page 9A this week and drop it at our office … or click on the Find Wylie icon online at www.thebeacon.net. Earl Vollmer won a $20 Friendship Food Stores Gas Card for signing up on our “Win it on the Web” contest. He just clicked the icon on our Web site. That’s how easy it is to win! ——— State Rep. Dennis Murray will hold a Town Hall Meeting at Catawba Community Hall this coming Monday, Oct. 12, starting at 6 p.m. ——— Boaters and Campers: don’t forget to gather your excess non-perishable food as we approach the end of the boating season. Area marinas and campgrounds are collecting them to give to local food pantries. ——— I received a nice note from Mike Simonis, who spearheaded the recent In-Water Boat Show at Bass Haven. They had a “Beer Boat” fundraiser and brought in more than $1,000 for the Epilepsy Foundation and Mike wanted to say “Thanks!” ——— Port Clinton High School Athletic Director, Carey Clum, has been involved with nearly 20 years of Port Clinton football. Last week, he promised his players that if they beat Oak Harbor, he would shave his head. Now, you can see the result! ——— The Port Clinton Area Chamber of Commerce is once again hosting Scott Brown for a series of customer service workshops. The first one will be this Tuesday, Oct. 13, at 1:30 p.m. in the Ottawa County Community Resource Center across from the fairgrounds on Ohio 163 between Port Clinton and Oak Harbor. Two more sessions are planned for Oct. 27 and Nov. 11. For information, contact the chamber at 419-734-5503. ——— Authors Don and Lois Babson, who wrote about their nearly five-year odyssey sailing around the world, will be at the Ex Libris Bookstore this Saturday, Oct. 10 from 1 to 3 p.m. ——— TOPS OH1487 meets every Tuesday at Resurrection Lutheran Church, Catawba — not Thursday as appeared in last week's Beacon. For info, call Leigh Carroll at 419-797-4129.

board changes name

Local officials and staff of the Ottawa County Board of Developmental Disabilities gathered Thursday to help clients celebrate an important change. The words “mental retardation” have been dropped from the group’s title — a move taking place at boards of MRDD across the state. This change, made official by the passage of Senate Bill 79, comes after 44 other states across the country dropped the term that clients say is disrespectful. Interim superintendent Melinda Slusser’s presentation of the board’s resolution was met with applause from the clients — one of whom shared her own experience with the outdated term. “When I was young they used to call me retarded and it made me cry,” she said. “That’s very telling,” according to

The process began more than two years ago when a group of people with developmental disabilities attended the Athens County Board of MRDD, and said they didn’t like being called “retarded.” Their personal stories touched the board members and then-Rep.

And of course, finding funds to do the work. Keep up the good job. Mayor Tester has been very instrumental in the soon improvement to Perry Street. I am working on federal funds for the improvements to the pump stations and discharge on Perry Street too. Citizens, wake up and thank the city for what good things they do. I hear so much negativism from residents who attend City Council meetings like C.O.R.D. etc. It’s time we thank those who do the right things for citizen taxpayers.

as they provide a healthy and safe food supply for our community. Believe it or not, each and every resident of Northwest Ohio has some connection to this traditional occupation. Whether you have experienced the hard work and satisfaction of exhibiting a market animal at a county fair, visited a local farm as a part of a school or leadership visit or simply purchased meat and animal products at our local grocery, each of you has somehow made a conscious decision to support local agriculturalists. To continue your support for Ohio’s largest industry, you must take a stand by voting yes on Issue 2 on Nov. 3. By maintaining excellent care of food animals in our state, Issue 2 will help to ensure the availability of safe, locally grown, affordable meat, milk and eggs. By passing Issue 2, you will also help sustain the viability of Ohio’s agriculture community, including the jobs it provides and the many economic contributions To the Editor: it makes.

So I that I have seen that word “doxology” many went over to the Township Hall on Saturtimes, but never really knew what it meant day to help. My job is to direct a little traffic

(not much) and make sure there is always fresh coffee and something hot to eat for the guys who are doing the actual work. They were Township Trustees Dan Mulligan and Gerry Perry, assisted by Dale (Fuzz) Rounds and Joe Veverka. I had a good time chatting with people, though. And it is always pretty interesting to see what people throw away. The guys sometimes pull interesting things out of the trash. And sometimes we rescue an item that has some use left in it. I actually found two nice purses — one black (for winter) and one that is cream and ecru colored that will be nice for next summer. They are both the kind that I like — with many different “compartments.” The fellows also dragged out a lawn ornament, shaped like a swan, for me. It is a bit chipped around the edges, and probably won’t last long. Meantime, I’m going to set it in the backyard in the place where I’ve had a new flower and evergreens bed constructed. Sometimes the guys have a little fun with what they find. Just to make an extremely hard and heavy job (not to mention a dirty one) a little more entertaining, they pull out items just to see how they work. They set these aside, and when they get a little break from the work, they take a look at them. One such item this year was a lown ornament, shaped like a windmill. It stood, perhaps, about 4 feet high, and after minor tinkering, it worked quite well. I’m not sure whether anybody gave it a new home or not. Most likely it went into the Dumpster where we were collecting metals for recycling. As for me, the prize-winning trash find this year was a Philadelphia newspaper dated Nov. 1, 1932. The guys found it and set it aside, thinking I would be interested in it. It was badly yellowed, pretty ragged around the edges and difficult to work with because it was very brittle. Just the same, the contents were very interesting. It was published just a few days before the general election, when Franklin Delano Roosevelt and incumbent President Herbert Hoover were vying for the presidency. That was the election when challenger Roosevelt first became president. There were several political items in the paper. It seemed to favor Hoover for re-election. It featured several pictures of him, among which were a series of six (!) photographs of Hoover making the same

speech. A picture of Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt, widow of the late president, shown with Lou Hoover, was prominently displayed. Mrs. T. R Roosevelt had introduced President Hoover for a speech at Madison Square Garden. He had also spoken at Carnegie Hall. As for Roosevelt, a small item describing his three-point plan for creation of jobs got very little “play,” but it was on the first page. As the time period was in the middle of the Great Depression, one might have thought that job creation warranted more prominent coverage in the news of the day. There were a couple of items relating to the economic woes of the people of this country at that time. In a story about Halloween, the people in Philadelphia had had such a good time at a public party in the streets of the city, that it had been, the paper said, “a case of sweeping Old Man Depression right off the city’s door step.” There was also a notice that the U. S. Post Office was going to hire 2,500-3,000 jobless people for the Christmas holidays. Jobs would go to the unemployed. There would be a preference for married men, war veterans and those having the dependents. Another vivid sign of those times was this: there was an article about a former gangster, who “is ready to take his role as the State’s star witness against a man accused of killing his brother.” The prospective witness had formerly been a gang member and had announced that he was “out of the rackets” in which he had been a leading figure for years. He had violated the underworld code of secrecy and had named seven men as slayers of his brother and another man who had been shot down. Crime and gangster activities plagued this era; the 1932 newspaper covered this story on its front page. Also on the front page was something we would never see now. It was an article about a truck driver who had had an accident while driving a vehicle carrying alcohol. The last sentence was this. “Mack Moore, colored, Philadelphia, the driver, was arrested.” This newspaper was published more than 70 years ago. Thankfully, those 70 years have eliminated references to ethnicity and religion when describing a person being written about. The newspaper was an interesting find.

The Ottawa County Board of Developmental Disabilities has named Melinda Slusser the new superintendent, effective Nov. 1. Slusser has been working in the county since June as the interim superintendent, while also maintaining her position as director of quality and compliance for the Wood County Board of DD. “Melinda’s background and education are a great match for the needs of the county,” said Jennifer Zelms, vice president of the board. She grew up in Putnam Count y and has remained in Nor thwest

Ohio throughout her career. She has a master’s degree in rehabilitation counseling from BGSU as well as a law degree from the University of Toledo, and is licensed as an attorney in the state of Ohio. She has more than 24 years experience working for the Wood County’s board in various positions, starting with direct service through middle and upper management. She has more than 15 years experience in management and leadership positions. Additionally, Melinda has a lot of experience working within the Medicaid funding environment, an asset that will help the board maximize federal funding and minimize the local dollars needed to effectively serve our constituents. For information, call Zelms at 419-7320316.

BOARD from 1A of changing the Ohio Department of MRDD and all County Boards of MRDD. In June, both the House of Representatives and the Ohio Senate unanimously passed the bill. “Every legislator understood that this bill wasn’t about money or politics. It was about the people with developmental disabilities in Ohio and their families,” said Linda Oda, director of communications for the Ohio Association of County Boards of MRDD. “It’s great that we can just deal with people and not labels,” said Slusser. According to its Web site, www.ocbdd.org, the Ottawa County board’s mission is “to ensure availability of supports to eligible citizens with developmental disabilities in gaining inclusion in their community. Further, to assist individuals and their families in achieving a life that they establish for themselves.”

AroundOttawaCounty Put-in-Bay Soil, Water Conservation District honors Cooperator Monument on 2013 quarter of the Year The Ottawa Soil and Water Conservation District recognized LJ Overmyer of Harris Township as the 2009 “Cooperator of the Year.� The individual is chosen by the amount of conservation practices he or she has installed on their land and also their continual demonstration of protecting our natural resources. LJ received this honor at the Ottawa Soil and Water Conservation District’s 58th annual Meeting and Banquet. A crowd of nearly 250 looked on as Overmyer was lauded for his various soil and water practices. Rich Thorbahn, Soil and Water Conservation District chairman, made the announcement with a presentation depicting LJ’s farming operation. “LJ is one of those farmers that puts conservation on the land with extreme detail and promptness,� Thorbahn said. Overmyer first visited the Soil and Water Conservation in 2006 with an interest in converting his 56 acres from cropland to grass and hay land for his 30 head of “Belted Galloway� beef cattle. Since that time the district has written a Compre-

hensive Nutrient Management Plan; drawn up engineering plans for both a 45x80 beef cow manure storage facility for winter months and a 60x80 gravel heavy use area for winter confinement feeding. Most recently, LJ has applied to build a 20x24 horse manure storage facility. This will hold one year’s worth of manure during the winter months. “These manure storage facilities that have been constructed on the ‘Country Blend Farms’ will help insure better water quality in the Sugar Creek and it’s tributaries, which run through his land. We can’t think of a better individual that shows dedication and willingness to help the Ottawa SWCD to educate and conserve our natural resources,� Thorbahn said.

The United States Mint will honor Perry’s Victory and International Peace Memorial in Ohio through its new quarter program. The Perry’s Victory design will be the 17th to be featured on coins released under the United States Mint America the Beautiful Quarters Program, and will be issued in 2013. Perry’s Victory and International Peace Memorial was established to honor those who fought in the Battle of Lake Erie, during the war of 1812 and to celebrate the long-lasting peace among Britain, Canada

and the U.S. The memorial, a Doric column rising 352 feet over Lake Erie, is situated 5 miles from the longest undefended border in the world. The monument bears the name of Master Commandant Oliver Hazard Perry and six officers (three American and three British) slain during the battle, who are buried under its rotunda. It was established as a national site in 1919. The complete registry, which lists all 56 sites to be honored is available at http:// www.usmint.gov/mint_programs/NSQuar tersProgram/?action=siteRegister.

All the way up

A large group of retired Coast Guardsmen and their wives were in town over the weekend for a reunion. While in Marblehead they visited the lighthouse, on-site keeper’s house museum and the Coast Guard station. Park Naturalist Dianne Rozak escorted the retirees to the top of the tower. “All of my summer visitors want to climb those extra few steps to the light area,� Rozak said. “But I always tell them it is reserved only for the Coast Guard since they maintain our light. It was a distinct pleasure to take this wonderful group all the way to the very top.�

BCS unveils updated Web site OAK HARBOR — Scott Schulte, Virtual Learning Academy instructor, and Neal Barrett, district technology director, updated Board members at the Sept. 22 regular Benton Carroll Salem Local School District board meeting regarding technology initiatives. In May 2009, the BCS board approved the participation in a Virtual Learning Academy as an extension to normal classroom education. Schulte demonstrated to the board how the student performance is monitored, tracked and assessed in the VLA environment. According to Superintendent Diane Kershaw, “It is the district’s intent to expand the curricular offering through the VLA environment as experience with the program increases.� The BCS Web page is a key communication tool available to district residents, www.bcs.k12.oh.us. With any type of communication tool, and especially a Web site, it is critical that the site be easy to use and the information is accurate and up-to-date. With that thought process as a basis, Technology Director Neal Barrett performed a facelift on the district’s Web site and presented the updated site to the board.

“The new format of the Web site allows designated individuals to update their particular areas of the Web site which ensures the most up-to-date information is available to district residents,� Barrett said. High School Assistant Principal Alison Wolf recognized Dylan Perkins on his team successes in the state and national auto skills competition. Dylan, a 2009 Oak Harbor graduate, and his teammate Zach Harteis, a 2009 Rossford graduate, won the state title this past spring. Dylan and Zach attended the Penta Career Center Auto Technology developing their skills and knowledge in automotive maintenance.

The year 1987 was also the last year Port Clinton defeated Oak Harbor in football. That is until Friday night when the Redskins held on to defeat the Rockets 25-14 in front of a Homecoming Crowd at PC’s True-Lay Stadium. It was the team’s first Sandusky Bay Conference victory this season.

Then we told the kids at half- with 46.2 seconds remaining in the first quarter as Colston completed a 15-yard touchdown pass to Wingo, who at time, ‘We’ve just got to finish the deal,’” Hammond said.

That is what Danbury has done all season, “the best 20 guys can on the field,” and it includes so far one win over Fostoria St. Wendelin. But Friday night in Williams County, near the Ohio-Indiana state line on Route 49, the Edon Blue Bombers had their way with the Lakers in a Toledo Area Athletic Conference contest. Danbury managed only 83 total yards and lost four fumbles in losing to Edon, 47-6. Danbury’s only touchdown came in the second quarter, but Edon, which had over 250 yards rushing in the game, had taken a 20-6 lead by halftime. Edon improved to 1-5 overall, 1-2 in the TAAC after getting its first win of the season. Danbury fell to 1-5 overall, 0-3 in the TAAC. This Friday night, Danbury hosts the Northwood Rangers (3-3, 2-0 TAAC), 52-34 winners over Hilltop last week.

On the hunt

$WUKPGUU %CTFU

HQT † HQT HQT † HQT Steve Gulas and Pat Adkins bagged a 700-pound, 5x5 bull elk the second day of their hunt Sept. 19. They called it in by bugling and cow calling and harvested it with a bow and arrow at 40 yards. The men were hunting on national forest land near Leadore, Idaho, in Wildcat Creek.

REDSKINS from 2B the only pass of the series fell incomplete. PC went three-and-out for the first time afterwards, losing seven net yards in the process, and it seemed as if Oak Harbor may have found some renewed momentum. Oak Harbor’s next drive took them into the end zone. An 11-yard pass from Young to Zack Priesman, an 11-yard run by Cannet, and three first downs led to a six-yard touchdown run by Young. But only 25.7 seconds remained in the third quarter, and the Rockets still trailed 25-14. The fourth quarter saw Harris run 10 times on two drives, taking up precious time. One Oak Harbor 7-play, 60-yard drive ended at the PC 15 when Tigner made his second interception in his own end zone and returned it to his own five-yard line. PC spent the final 7:16 of the game on a single drive, starting at its own five, and going to the Oak Harbor 40 in 12 rushing attempts. The Rockets had used their final time out, and Colston took a knee at the Rocket 38 on the final play, losing two-yards but letting the celebration begin. Nearly the entire PC student body attending ran onto the field to circle the Redskin football team and celebrate after the final whistle sounded. The win also comes as PC just finished getting through three tough losses to very strong Genoa (62-7), Edison (509), and Clyde (44-0) teams. “I’m just really proud of our kids,� Coach Hammond said. “Again, like I told our kids before the game, ‘We just went through three games of heck where we were just outmanned and outgunned.’ “I said, ‘You guys have done everything that we have asked of you — sticking together and working hard is going to pay off for you tonight.’� Port Clinton (3-3, 1-2) travels to Castalia this Friday for a contest against the Margaretta Polar Bears (1-5, 1-2). Margaretta lost to Oak Harbor 33-21 two weeks ago, and lost to Clyde 42-20 last week. Oak Harbor (2-4, 1-2) hosts Edison (5-1, 2-1), 20-13 losers to Perkins last week, this Friday night.

Put these estate planning moves to work

Like everyone else, you want to leave a legacy. To make it happen, though, you need to do some estate planning. For most of us, that sounds like a scary task, but it doesn’t have to be — as long as you break it down into a few key moves. Here, in a nutshell, are some of the broad-based moves you’ll want to consider: s #OMMUNICATE YOUR WISHES 7HEN drawing up your estate plan, you can’t leave anything to chance — so you need to communicate your wishes in writing. This means you need to draw up the appropriate legal documents, such as a will and a living trust. If you die intestate (without a will), your belongings will be distributed to your “heirs� as defined by state laws — and these distributions may not be at all what you had in mind. If you want to avoid probate and possibly draw up more complex instructions —, for instance, leaving different amounts of money to different heirs at different points in their lives — you may also need to create a trust. s 0ROTECT YOUR FAMILY 7HEN YOU HEAR THE WORDS hESTATE planning,� your first thoughts may be of what you can leave behind to grown children, grandchildren and even greatgrandchildren. But if you develop your estate plan while your children are young — and you certainly should — you should name a guardian for them in case both you and your spouse were to die prematurely. Of course, you’ll also need to consider having the right type and amount of life insurance for survivor income and loan repayments. s 0OSITION YOUR INVESTMENTS TO BENElT YOUR HEIRS 9OU can arrange for some of your investments to provide significant benefits to your heirs. For example, you can stretch your IRA to extend the key benefit of IRAs — tax-deferred EARNINGS ˆ OVER A PERIOD OF SEVERAL YEARS 9OU SHOULD ALSO make sure you’ve updated beneficiary designations on various accounts, such as annuities and 401(k) plans, to make sure the assets go to the right people. These designations are very important, as they can supersede even the instructions in your will. s 0ROTECT AGAINST INCAPACITY .ONE OF US CAN PREDICT THE shape of our physical and mental well-being in the years to come. But to protect your family, you’ll certainly want to be prepared for everything. That’s why you’ll want to make the appropriate arrangements, such as establishing a power of attorney and health care directive, while you’re still healthy. These types of documents will empower family members, or other people close to you, to take the necessary steps to carry out your wishes even if you become incapacitated. As with other aspects of your estate plan, however, you’ll want to review these arrangements periodically to make sure they still reflect your current thinking. To make any of these moves — in fact, to make any moves at all related to estate planning — you’ll need to work with a team of professionals, including your tax, legal and fiNANCIAL ADVISORS #OMPREHENSIVE ESTATE PLANNING CAN BE complex and time-consuming — but it’s worth the effort.
