The Beacon - January 12, 2012

The Port Clinton Area 4th of
July Celebration Committee,

with help from the Port Clin-
ton Elks Lodge, have organized
what is planned to be the largest
No Limit Texas Holdem Poker
Tournament ever held in the
Port Clinton area on Sunday,
Jan. 29 .
The event is limited only by
the number of seats available in
the Grand Ballroom of the Elks
Lodge, 231 Buckeye Blvd. The
goal is to put a big dent in the
funding goal for the 2012 Port
Clinton Area 4th of July Celebra-
tion.
According to tournament co-
organizer Debbie Tester, the
planning committee is gambling
on increasing the number of
players for this years event.
The ultimate goal for the
4th of July festivities is $8000
to $10,000 and weve been suc-
cessful in trimming down that
The rare snow owl has been
spotted recently around Ot-
tawa County. Experts from
the Black Swamp Conserva-
tory said its a rare visitor
to this area, however, this
has been an exceptional
year, and there have been
numerous reports of these
gorgeous birds of the arctic
tundra showing up across
the Midwest.
The snow owl was spot-
ted sitting on top of a barn
near the overpass on Ohio 53 by Brian Sims of Port Clinton, and just
south of Port Clinton by Oak Harbor resident, Tiffanie Hayes.

The I-X Center in Cleveland will again play host to one
of the largest indoor boat shows in the country over this
weekend and the coming week.
This is the 55th consecutive year for the Progressive
Insurance Mid-America Boat Show, which starts this Fri-
day, Jan. 13, and runs through Jan. 22.
Visitors will be able to board, tour and buy the newest
powerboats, sailboats, fshing boats, ski boats, pontoon
boats, personal watercraft and quality pre-owned models
of all shapes and sizes from regional dealers, according to
the Lake Erie Marine Trades Association.
But the collection of boats, though, will not
be the only draw. We are going to have a lot
of engaging speakers at our entertainment
stages, said show manager Ken Alvey. They
will cover a wide range of interests and pro-
vide some fun information for boaters.
Underwater archaeologist Ralph Wilbanks,
who directed the successful search for the
sunken Civil War submarine H.L. Hunley and
is currently looking for John Paul Jones Bon-
homme Richard, will make scheduled presen-
tations on Jan. 14 and 15.
On the same days, solo sailor Abby Sunder-
land will meet with visitors and sign copies of
her book Unsinkable. The now-18-year-old
Sunderland attempted in 2010 to become the
youngest person to solo circum-navigate the
globe. Her trip
ended, though,
when a rogue
wave dismasted
her boat in the
Indian Ocean.
At the Anglers
Alley stage, pre-
sentations and
demonstrations
will be conduct-
ed throughout
the show dates
by regional fsh-
ing profession-
als and experts.
This years lineup of speakers will include 2010 MWC
Team of the Year member Mike Knippenberg, 2010 MWC
Father and Son Team of the
Year members Gary and
Nicholas Zart, 2009 MWC
Team of the Year members

invasive species, including Asian carp, harmful algal
blooms, as well as general information about Stone Lab
and Lake Erie issues. Kristin Thomas, the Island Snake
Lady, will be on hand to talk about the Lake Erie water-
snake and will have some slithery friends with her.

HURON - Thousands came out this weekend to witness the implosion of the former ConAgra Foods grain mills on the banks of the Huron River. The 1940s-built structures a
seven-story and an 11-story building were taken down about 3 p.m. Sunday. Here are some photos of the structure right before the building is detonated and as it is crashing
to earth. The remainder of the structures used for more than 30 years to mill grain and closed in 2001 will come down mechanically this week.

amount in the past with smaller Texas
Holdem events at the Elks Lodge, Tes-
ter said. Last year we had 107 players, up
from 40 the previous year, and we hope
to meet that number this year but we can
accommodate many more than that if the
players turn out.
Elks Exalted Ruler Craig Ward said he is
happy to lend a helping hand.
We believe we have a wonderful facil-
ity and are very proud to share it with the
community, especially for an event that
celebrates the birth of our great nation,
he said. We hope we draw interested par-
ticipants from around the region and well
welcome them with traditional Elks hos-
pitality.
According to 4th of July Committee
Chairman and Port Clinton Councilman
Mike Snider, the date of this tournament
is signifcant as well.
Sunday, Jan. 29 is the week just after the
NFL Division Championship Games and
the week before the Super Bowl, he said.
As a football fan I call this Honey Do
Sunday. Its the frst weekend since late
August that Im not going to be attending
or watching on TV a football game. So
rather than start on that list of projects my
wifes been accumulating for fve months I
think Ill play Texas Holdem.
Pre-Registration is suggested with any
remaining open seats available at the door.
Contact Debbie Tester at 419-732-3012
for details and to preregister. A $50 buy-in
with no re-buy is requested.
Doors open on Jan. 29 at noon; table as-
signments are at 12:45 p.m., and the frst
deal is at 1 p.m.

I am writing to make the community
aware of some facts and to ask the public
for their support.
The VFW Post 2480, located at 214 Madi-
son Street in downtown Port Clinton, Ohio
is currently experiencing the stresses of the
poor economy.
The VFW Post 2480 was established eighty
years ago to serve its membership as a fra-
ternal organization intended to promote
patriotism, history and education among
its members. We preserve and strengthen
comradeship, perpetuate the memory of
our dead, and assist their survivors.
Our services are donated to the com-
munity, in most cases. We support mili-
tary, student and other charitable groups
through the donation of the use of their
facilities.
As we move forward and attempt to ad-
just and survive, we ask for your support
and consideration of what the community
would miss, should we not survive.
Your suggestions, support and donations
of any type are welcome in our quest to re-
main a viable part of the Ottawa County
community.
Richard Ellis
Commander, VFW Post 2480

The success of Ottawa County is truly
the story of David and Goliath. It is evi-
dent each and every year that I have been
the Director for The Salvation Army in this
amazing County. Each year our Red Kettle
Goal is given to us by The Northwest Ohio
Salvation Army in Toledo and this year was
raised to $55,000.00. Because of the tre-
mendous generosity and support of our
Community along with the support of our
Bell Ringing Volunteers of Ottawa County,
we raised $60,776.32!! The 662 Bell Ring-
ing Volunteers of Ottawa County rang the
bell for 1,500 hours! Congratulations to
each and every bell ringer and donor in
Ottawa County, for we could not have at-
tained this unattainable goal without you!!
For the past four years, as Director of
The Salvation Army Ottawa County, I
have been amazed and overwhelmed at the
charitable devotion that the people in Ot-
tawa County have. This year, we had three
individuals/organizations who have joined
The $1,000 Club. Jefferson Elemen-
tary Students raised $1,208.16, CIC raised
$1,065.25 and a special award to Mayor
Debbie Hymore-Tester who, given The
Mayor Challenge by Mayor Bell in Toledo
to beat his $155, not only conquered him,
but dominated him, by raising $1,025.53 in
just 1.5 hours!!
From the toy collection boxes, Angel Tree
tags, Coat collections, mitten trees, toy do-
nations and monetary gifts that are a steady
stream in my offce from Oct. 1 through
Dec. 31, I am, once again, speechless at the
bigheartedness of Ottawa County!!!
We also have received and distributed
over 1032 coats this year, through our Coats
for Families Program and distributed over
6,500 toys to nearly 1,700 children through
our Toy Program, with over 100 volunteers.
Without the generosity of the Communi-
ty and Volunteers, we could not have served
so many people in need in Ottawa County
and these programs that The Salvation
Army offer year-round, could not happen.
It is with great pride and admiration, for
which I am proud to say, I live in and work
in Ottawa County!

The Salvation Army-Ottawa County
Joe Cornwall, Jeff Liskay and Jonathan
Shoemaker.
Families will also want to catch the en-
tertaining and educational shows pro-

The Ottawa County Department of Job
and Family Services has earned statewide
recognition for performance by its Child
Support Enforcement Agency. The JFS
received notifcation of the Best Perfor-
mance on Support Order Establishment
in the Medium to Small Caseload Divi-
sion award last month. This award is
based on the percentage of eligible cases
in the county with child support orders
established or in existence during the pre-
vious federal fscal year, and is divided into
caseload size for all Ohio counties. Be-
tween October 2010 and September 2011,
there were 2,022 eligible child support cas-
es in Ottawa County, of which 1,933 con-
tained established child support orders,
representing a 95.6 percent establishment
rate. During this same federal fscal year,
the Child Support Agency averaged 2,500
cases monthly and collected more than
$6.9 million in child and spousal support
payments.

Kids in Ottawa County grades third through sixth will
be bringing home fyers about a free, fun event happen-
ing on Jan. 14 at Magee Marsh Wildlife Area and Ottawa
NWR from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
The Christmas Bird Count (CBC) 4 KIDS event will be
a similar type event to the century old Christmas Bird
Counts that happen across America and are sponsored by
Audubon, but geared toward kids.
Children must be accompanied by an adult and will go
out in groups with adult bird guides to count every bird
that they see or hear on a planned route. A basic bird ID
and binocular use session will precede the feld session, so
prior birding experience is not required. Participants can
bring their own binoculars or use a pair from the Marsh.
A hot lunch will be provided by the Friends of Magee
Marsh, and Back To The Wild wildlife experts will attend
with live birds from their Wildlife Rehabilitation and Edu-
cation Center.
Pre-registration is strongly encouraged, but not re-
quired. Participants should plan to dress for the weather.
Registration for this free event will take place at the Bird
Center at Magee Marsh, 13229 W. Ohio 2, Oak Harbor.
To pre-register, call Mary at 419-898-0960, Ext. 31.
COLUMBUS - State Rep. Dennis Mur-
ray (D-Sandusky) this week announced
the release of $600,000 in state funds for
improvements at East Harbor State Park.
The project includes a new restroom
facility to replace an existing, outdated
building that serves the beach area of the
state park.
After years of underfunding our state
parks and after decades of neglecting one
of Ohios real gems, the state must invest
in facilities that will make it easier, better
and safer for Ohioans, visitors and their
families to take advantage of the lake front
at East Harbor State Park, Murray said.
This frst step is a small down payment
on a much larger obligation that Ohio
owes to current and future generations to
maintain these natural areas that all of us
own together.
The building will include changing areas,
vending, locker areas, outdoor showers,
lifeguard offces and storage space. The
former building will be demolished as part
of the project.
East Harbor State Park is located along
the north coast of the Marblehead Penin-
sula and includes 1,500 feet of Lake Erie
beach, a marina, campgrounds, picnic ar-
eas, and scenic wetlands. The park opened
in 1947.
Ottawa Residential Services, Inc. will be
open every Monday, Wednesday and Fri-
day between the offce hours of 10 a.m.
and 4 p.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays will
be by appointment only. Additionally,
the ORSI observes the following holiday
schedule: Jan. 16 - Martin Luther King
Day; Feb. 20 - Presidents Day; May 28t
Memorial Day; July 4 - Independence Day;
Sept. 3 -Labor Day; Nov. 12 - Veterans
Day; Nov. 22 -Thanksgiving; Nov. 23 - in
lieu of Columbus Day; Dec. 24 - Christ-
mas Eve; Dec. 25 - Christmas; and Dec. 31
-New Years Eve.

tioner were recently certifed in Hos-
pice and Palliative Medicine.

by Vincenzo Postiglione in
Naples, Italy, began her in-
ternational career with the
English Chamber Orches-
tra at age 21. She has
toured Europe, Asia
and North and South
America with such
musicians as Pinchas
Zuckerman, Jean-
Pierre Rampal, Barry
Tuckwell, Itzhak Perl-
man, Isaac Stern and
Vladimir Ashkenazy
and has recorded doz-
ens of albums for EMI,
Decca, and CBS labels.
Bruce Uchimura,
who performs on an
Enrico Marchetti cello
made in Turin, Italy, in
1899, received a bachelor of music degree from The Jul-
liard School of Music and a Master of Music degree from
Cleveland Institute of Music, and was named 2010 Music

Reunion
Students in Judy Mahers third grade class at Immaculate Conception
School had a special speaker, Kelly Snyder along with her guide dog
visit their class recently. The class had just fnished reading the story
Moms Best Friend by Sally Hobart Alexander. This story spoke about
a mother who needed a guide dog. The dogs name was Ursula.
Snyder was just partnered with her second guide dog in June. She was
able to explain the training process and proper manners people should
use when they see a guide dog that is working in public. The students
asked lots of questions.

Oregon Career & Technology Center is
currently accepting applications for win-
ter programs set to start in mid-January.
The center offers training programs to give
adults the skills employers want to re-enter
the workforce or to change their career.
Now is the time to look at training op-
portunities and be prepared for positions
as they become available in the months to
come.
OCTC offers two administrative assis-
tant programs. The Medical Administra-
tive Assistant Program includes termi-
nology, transcription, billing and coding,
electronic health records and more. The
dental administrative assistant program
offers the student everything they will
need to know to enter the dental feld in
the front offce. Computer software skills
are also included in these programs. Both
programs are 22 weeks long and include a
two-week externship.
The Northwest Ohio Culinary Insti-
tute teaches student the skills needed to
work in the restaurant industry. They will
learn about product ID and food equip-
ment, preparation of meats and seafood,
side dishes, small and large plate design
and more. You will also study and test
for ServSafe, a nationally recognized cre-
dential. The culinary class prepares din-
ners and works on events throughout the
training. This is a 25-week program and
is offered in the morning and evening, de-
pending on class size.
The Early Childhood Development Pro-
gram is offered to current employees of
daycare facilities, but also to students in-
terested in this feld of work. This program
requires 120 hours of classroom time and
480 hours of on-the-job training. We will
place you in a daycare for the hours you
need to complete for the Early Childhood
Associate credential. This is a test you will
be prepared to take after completing this
program.
Along with longer programs, OCTC of-
fers an array of short-term trainings in
other medical areas such as pharmacy
technician, electronic health records, med-
ical terminology, medical billing and cod-
ing, and transcription. We offer CPR Heart
Saver, AED, Healthcare Provider and the
CPR Instructor Course. The EMT Basic
Program is offered twice a year, with the
next class to start Jan. 23. In addition, both
10- and 30-hour OSHA Training. New this
year in the medical area is phlebotomy.
This class is tentatively planned for Febru-
ary.
OCTC also offers OSHA-approved fork-
lift training in the warehouse located in
East Toledo. Students are trained on both
sit-down propane and stand-up electric
forklifts. Also offered are basic construc-
tion trades programs in framing, roofng,
siding, drywall and electrical. This training
gives the student a basic idea of what they
may be interested in pursuing with one
of the local apprenticeship programs or
for the do-it-yourselfer wanting the basic
knowledge for that home project.
An array of computer and special interest
programs are offered in the evening. Com-
puter classes include Fundaments, Word,
Excel, Power Point, Access and Basic Web
Design. Selling on eBay is a popular class
that teaches students to sell and buy on-
line. The school has partnered with WGTE
in Toledo to offer four new technology
opportunities. Just in time for tax return
season, new iPad and Kindle training pro-
grams will be offered that include an iPad
or Kindle Fire. Both of these technology
trainings will be held at the WTGE station
in Toledo. Space is limited.
Special interest classes are also offered
throughout the year. New topics include
quilting and rug braiding. Other offerings
include woodcarving, foral design, ball-
room dancing, Zumba, yoga, kickboxing,
self-defense and much more.
Oregon CTC is now located in the Wynn
Center at 5224 Bay Shore Road in Oregon.
All of the classes in listed here, along with
directions for registration, are found on-
line at oregonctc.org or by calling 419-
693-0668 or 419-697-3450. The career
center is open 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday
through Thursday.

Brenda Cantu has lived in Port Clinton
for quite a while. Last Spring, she took
the plunge, so to speak, and invested in
the restaurant site in the Midway Plaza on
Northeast Catawba Road, or Ohio 53, in
Catawba Island Township. Previously, she
had invested in a popular dining spot on
West State Street in Fremont that formerly
housed Bonnie and Cys Restaurant. She
changed the name there to Sweet Home
Caf. Her new place in the Midway Plaza
is Sweet Home
Eatery where
the Catawba
Caf used to be.
The vision is
for a full ser-
vice family din-
ing restaurant
in both loca-
tions. Custom-
ers can expect
a menu chock
full of home-
made comfort
food served
in hearty por-
tions. Their
signature din-
ner item is a
lightly breaded
chicken dinner
with home-
made side dish-
es and fuffy
biscuits. They
can be served
on plates or
in buckets for
carryout. They
also feature
gourmet burg-
ers on their
signature bun
with a variety
of toppings
and homemade
sides. Another
popular item is their open faced roast beef.
Says Brenda Cantu, We are a restaurant
that food lovers enjoy. We cook with love
and fresh, tasty ingredients.
Hours of operation at the Sweet Home
Caf, 1224 W. State St. in Fremont are from
7 a.m. to 8 p.m., Sundays through Thurs-
days, and from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m., Fridays
and Saturdays. Hours at the Sweet Home
Eatery on Catawba are from 7 a.m. to 3
p.m. Thursdays through Sundays.

Ouch again! The Port Clinton Redskins
saw their record drop to 4-6 overall and
4-2 in the Sandusky Bay Conference over
the weekend, as they fell to Huron in over-
time on Friday and to Fremont Ross on
Saturday.
In the game Friday night, the Redskins
had a 9-point lead with less than 2 minutes
to go when the Huron press got to them.
Hurons Cody Thompson, who scored
a game high 28 for the Tigers, drove the
lane with time ticking off, then dished to a
teammate in the corner who dropped in a
3-pointer as the buzzer sounded in regula-
tion. The Tigers scored all 8 points in the
overtime to win, 65-57.
We simply did not handle their pressure
late in the game on Friday, said Coach
Troy Diels on Monday. They showed it
earlier in the game and we were able to do
OK against it, but for some reason we did
not respond well to it in the last two min-
utes. Defensively, we didnt do what we
needed to in order to get stops late in the
4th and in overtime so that is also some-
thing that we will work to correct. Huron
scored 19 of the last 21 points of the game
in regulation and overtime.
On Saturday night, the Red-
skins had a similar outing,
only the oppositions spurt
came much earlier. The Red-
skins took a one point lead
early in the 3rd quarter on a
Kelley Friemark triple, and
then Fremont Ross went on a
run through most of the 3rd
quarter. They started the 4th
quarter on a big run as well,
and the end result was a 67-
50 loss at home. This time,
Coach Diels said it was a com-
bination of Rosss pressure
and mental lapses. To me it
seems to be half mental and
half physical. We have just
done uncharacteristic things
to allow teams to take advantage of us.
The Redskins will try to get back on the
winning track this weekend when they play
Clyde at home on Friday and unbeaten
Norwalk on the road on Saturday. With
Clyde we will see a lot of the same things
that we saw against Huron and Ross. They
will try to force us to be up tempo and we
will need to respond better. Clyde is a pe-
rimeter oriented team that likes to shoot a
lot of threes so we need to be able to de-
fend well and control the boards.
On Saturday, PC plays 10-0 Norwalk.
They have been as good as advertised,
says coach Diels. They have good guards
and a nice balance of post play inside.
They are still very young in that they start
and play several underclassmen but they
are very, very good. They will also look
to make us play at a quick pace so we will
need to play with composure on Saturday
night as well.
Redskins look to bounce back from drubbing

The Port Clinton Freshman boys basket-
ball game against Clyde has been

Danbury 40, Maumee Valley 19
The Lakers controlled things from the
start, outscoring Maumee Valley, 14-6 in
the frst quarter and 11-1 in the second
period to take a 25-7 lead at the half.
The Lakers had a well-balanced scoring
attack that saw Erin Lavelle fnish with 11
points, Tori Wright score nine points and
Stephanie Kukay and Kelsey Clemons fn-
ish with six points apiece. Clemons also
had eight assists to help pace Danbury.
Danbury head coach Ron Aukerman was
quite pleased with his teams performance.
That is something that weve been
working towards, some people stepping
up and taking the scoring burden off of
Kelseys shoulders, said Aukerman. We
cant rely on one person to score a major-
ity of points for us on one night.
Coupled with the loss to Cardinal Stritch
earlier in the week, the Lakers are now 3-6
overall and 3-2 in the Toledo Area Athletic
Conference (TAAC).
The Lakers face Toledo Christian (6-2,
4-1 TAAC) on the road at 7 p.m. on Thurs-
day, host Ottawa Hills (7-1, 5-0 TAAC) at
2:30 p.m. on Saturday and travel to San-
dusky to play St. Mary CC (6-5) at 7:30
p.m. on Tuesday.
(Toledo Christian) is very tough, very
athletic, they provide a lot of pressure,
said Aukerman. Theyre usually one of
the top two teams in the conference.
Cardinal Stritch 51, Danbury 33
Cardinal Stritch (3-7, 2-3 TAAC) won
by jumping out to an early lead and out-
scored the Lakers 23-17 in the frst half,
controlling the game from that point on.
The Cardinals stretched their lead to a
10-point margin at the end of three quar-
ters (39-29) and put the game away with
12-4 advantage in the fourth quarter.
Stritch was led by Abby Maas, who scored
17 points, and Marisa Katafasz and Caty
Rieker, who scored nine points apiece.
Kelsey Clemons had a game-high 19
points to help pace the Lakers.
BOYS
Cardinal Stritch 62, Danbury 48
After falling behind 16-9 at the end of
the frst quarter, the Danbury Lakers were
outscored 21-15 in the second period, giv-
ing Cardinal Stritch a 37-24 lead at the
half. From that point on, the Cardinals
controlled the game.
With the loss, the Lakers fall to 0-8 over-
all and 0-4 in the TAAC.
Danbury was led by Caleb Helline, who
fnished with 16 points. For the season,
Helline, who has led the team in scoring in
all eight of its games, is averaging an even
21.0 points. Helping to pace the Lakers
was Dalton Chapman, who had 12 points,
and Kegan Rakosky, who scored 10.
The Lakers play Maumee Valley Country
Day (7-1, 3-1 TAAC) on the road at 7:30
p.m. Friday.

St. Mary CC 58, Oak Harbor 52
A hard-fought game throughout, St.
Mary CC took the lead for good on a layup
by senior Lindsay Kaatz with 3:34 remain-
ing in the third quarter.
The bucket, which gave the Panthers
a 43-41 lead, was part of an 8-2 run that
helped SMCC build an six-point lead, one
that would never get below three for the
rest of the game. Kaatz, who scored 18
points to lead the Panthers, was respon-
sible for six of the eight points during the
run. SMCC (6-5, 3-5 SBC) had four play-
ers score in double fgures, the others be-
ing Maddie Engeler (11), Katy Glovinsky
(10) and Alivia Curtis (10).
The game was close throughout the frst
half, with the Panthers taking a 13-11 lead
after one quarter before the Rockets came
back to tie it at 32 at halftime.
Oak Harbors Allison Dunn had 21
points to lead all scorers and Abbie Gezo
chipped in with 16.
Margaretta 68, Oak Harbor 49
The Margaretta Polar Bears continued
their winning ways with a 68-49 win over
Oak Harbor Saturday.
Oak Harbors Allison Dunn scored on a
three-point play with just under six min-
utes remaining to cut the defcit to 56-49,
but Margaretta (7-3, 5-3 SBC) dominated
from that point forward, outscoring the
Rockets 12-0 to fnish them off.
The Polar Bears were led by Sarah Weyer,
who had 21 points, and Kelsey Kromer,
who fnished with 11.
Dunn and Maria Boers, who made four
three-pointers, scored 14 points apiece to
lead Oak Harbor.
The Rockets were done in by their poor
defensive performance in the frst half, one
that saw them go into the half down 38-29.
Perkins 61, Oak Harbor 35
The Rockets fell behind early and were
never able to seriously compete with Per-
kins as the Pirates took a 41-15 lead into
the half. In the frst half, Perkins shot 16-
of-31 while Oak Harbor struggling, shoot-
ing 5-of-17.
Rocket forward Allison Dunn led all
scorers with 19 points, but it was the Pi-
rates well-balanced scoring attack that
proved to be the difference. The Pirates
got 14 points from Jordan Fraley, 13 from
Darcy Daniel, 12 from Kayla Yost and 10
from Shannon Ebert.
BOYS
St. Mary CC 60, Oak Harbor 50
The Rockets were done in by their per-
formance in the middle two quarters,
one that saw the Panthers outscore them
35-22 to take 48-33 lead and command
of the game following the third quarter.
St. Mary CC point guard Alex Opfer took
over in the second quarter, scoring 13 of
the teams 16 points in the period to help
the Panthers sustain control of the game.
Opfer led all scorers with 20 points, cen-
ter Joe Youskievicz had 14 points and De-
narius Harris fnished with 13 to help pace
SMCC (4-5, 2-4 SBC).
With the loss, the Rockets fall to 1-6
overall and 1-4 in the SBC.
We had a bad third quarter, and before
you know it, were down 13 points, said
Oak Harbor head coach Eric Sweet. We
were down 19 in the third quarter and, to
the kids credit, they busted their tails and
fought. We just couldnt make a shot to
break (into single digits).
Greg Haar led Oak Harbor with 17
points, including fve three-pointers, and
Mark Edwards had 13 points.
The Rockets travel to Perkins (9-1, 6-0
SBC) on Friday, host Eastwood (6-2), the
frst-place team in the Northern Buckeye
Conference (NBC) on Saturday and Clyde
(3-3, 3-2 SBC) on Tuesday.

Hoop Shoot Jan. 15
BY KAREN COFFIN
My columns generally focus on how
adults can help kids succeed in sports. This
ones about what the athletes need to do.
Parents and coaches are in reality the sup-
port system for kids. Both are essential for
the athlete to realize their full potential,
but in the end, its the athlete who has to
meet the challenge of competition.
Adult help is crucial, but the athlete has a
major responsibility in creating a success-
ful, positive experience for him- or herself.
Three important characteristics for suc-
cess are respect, work ethic and attitude - I
suspect my categories might be somewhat
surprising, but they were what I looked for
in fnding players that could win champi-
onships. I also wanted players who loved
competition.
Respect is a major part of what we call
being coachable. It means the player is
receptive to what is being taught by the
coaches. It means listening in practice
rather than being disruptive. It means be-
ing willing to try hard things to improve
rather than sticking with familiar methods
that work most of the time. It can even
mean switching to a new position if asked.
Respect is given to teammates in the
form of support and cooperation. Success-
ful athletes work to make everyone better
and dont focus just on themselves. They
dont expect special treatment or privileg-
es. Respect is given to opponents through
fair play and sportsmanship. To win with
class and lose with dignity is the mark of a
good competitor. They never quit, what-
ever the circumstances.
Obviously, having a great work ethic is
crucial to becoming excellent at any diff-
cult task. Dedication and hard work defne
excellence. Being a really successful athlete
requires an immense commitment to con-
ditioning, practice and competition. If a
performance looks effortless, that athlete
has spent countless hours of practice to
make it look that way. Some players have a
head start by being blessed with great co-
ordination. Others have the advantage of
the perfect body type for a sport. A great
player recognizes their abilities and limita-
tions and puts in the extra work to maxi-
mize their performance.
Its not enough to just show up. Its not
enough to rely on natural ability. Just be-
ing a senior doesnt earn a player a start-
ing position. Athletes have to be willing
to do the work to get the glory. They have
to have dedication and commitment to
the sport. They have to be disciplined and
schedule time carefully. Eventually, they
will compete against someone as naturally
talented as they are. Work ethic makes the
difference.
Players need to recognize that the only
thing they can control is individual effort.
They cannot control their playing time or
the skill of the opponent. They will have
to learn to handle adversity and disap-
pointment. They will have to handle ex-
pectations and pressure. Players will need
to care about the mental part of the game
and devote time to study. A wise kid will
also know that life is more than just about
playing a sport and make time for other
activities.
A good attitude includes keeping star-
dom in perspective. In our culture, where
sports fgures are celebrities and heroes, it
can be hard to keep any semblance of hu-
mility if one is a star. If an athlete is truly
famous in his or her arena, its easy to
buy into an attitude of self-importance
that can be very destructive. Kids need to
appreciate that their success is due to the
contributions of many people and not
just of their own making. They can also
do their own laundry and carry their own
equipment!
Coaches love players who have good at-
titudes: those who never make excuses,
those who are a positive presence in the
locker room, who are quick to help team-
mates recover from mistakes, and those
who dont complain. A kid with a good at-
titude knows that sports are supposed to
be fun, but that the fun should never be
cruel at someone elses expense.
Respect, work ethic and attitude: three
essential responsibilities for an athlete.
They will lead to success in all the ways
that count; I guarantee it.

Johnnies Electric
and Heating Service
in Elmore has ex-
panded its team with
the addition of Mike
Beam, senior installa-
tion technician.
Beam is a Woodville
native and a graduate
of Woodmore High
School. Upon gradu-
ation, he joined the U.S. Air Force where
he was an aircraft technician. He served
our country for 10 years, and is a veteran
of Desert Storm.
Beam worked as an installer at Johnnies
Electric & Heating for fve years prior to
the business 2001 closing. He then further
honed his HVAC skills at Bayside Comfort
Inc. of Port Clinton. During his 10 years
at Bayside, he became the lead installer
and the installation trainer. His experience
with Bayside kept him current in the latest
HVAC technology including: heat pumps,
high effciency boilers, geothermal systems
and everything in between. When John-
nies re-opened for business in 2011, Beam
was eager to join the team again, this time
as the senior installation technician.
I knew when I re-opened Johnnies
Electric & Heating that I wanted to work
with Mike again, he is an extremely knowl-
edgeable installer and was a joy to work
with before. The customers always liked
Mike, said Tom Deitemyer, owner, John-
nies Electric & Heating Service.
Beam is married to Debi and has three
grown children. He lives in Woodville and
his hobbies include woodworking and re-
modeling his home. Beam and his wife are
also avid boaters and you will fnd them
out on the lake most summer weekends.

The mission and vision of OPRS will

When Should You Start Taking Social Security
If youre of a certain age, the New Year
means youre that much closer to a day you
may have anticipated with a combination
of humor and resignation specifcally,
the day youre eligible for Social Security.
But just because you can take Social Secu-
rity, it doesnt mean you must take it. So,
should you?
Before we get to that question, lets review
the basic rules governing Social Security
payments. You can typically start collecting
benefts at age 62, but youll get only about
75% of what youd receive if you waited
until your full retirement age, which var-
ies according to your birth year but is most
likely 66. Youll get even bigger monthly
checks if you delay collecting them un-
til youre past 66, and youll max out on
your payments once you reach 70.
So, the question boils down to this:
Should you start collecting Social Secu-
rity early thereby receiving smaller, but
more numerous, checks or later, when
your checks will be bigger but fewer?
If you really need the money once you
reach 62, youve already got your answer.
But if you could potentially afford to wait,
we recommend you view your decision
through a LENS:
L: Your projected lifespan You cant
see into the future, but given your family
history and general health, you can make
an educated guess about your projected
longevity. If youre fairly confdent that,
once you reach 66, youve still got another
two or more decades in front of you, you
may want to consider delaying taking So-
cial Security past age 62.
E: Your employment status If youre
under full retirement age between 62
and 66 then for every two dollars you
earn over $14,640 (in 2012), youll lose one
dollar in Social Security benefts. In the
months before you reach your full retire-
ment age, for every three dollars you earn
over $38,880 (again, for 2012), youll lose
one dollar in benefts. But starting in the
month you reach your full retirement age,
you can earn as much as you want without
losing any benefts.
N: Your need, including your other
sources of retirement income If you
have a pension, or youve built substantial
resources in your IRA, your 401(k) or oth-
er employer-sponsored retirement plan,
and you can support your income needs
with modest withdrawals from these ac-
counts, you might decide its worthwhile
to delay taking Social Security to maximize
your benefts. Remember that regardless of
your Social Security decision, you typically
would have to pay a 10% early withdrawal
penalty if you started taking withdrawals
from these accounts before you reach age
59.
S: Your spouse/marital status If youre
single, you basically just need to think of
yourself when making this decision. But its
a different story if youre married. If you die
frst, your spouse can keep receiving his or
her own Social Security beneft or receive
yours whichever is larger. Consequently,
you and your spouse will want to coordi-
nate when you take Social Security benefts
so that you can maximize the beneft for
the spouse likeliest to live longer.
The choice of when to start taking Social
Security can affect your lifestyle through-
out your retirement years so weigh all
the factors and make the choice thats right
for you.

for use by your local Edward Jones Finan-
cial Advisor.
