TELLTALES BY JOHN SCHAFFNER

I picked up on an article recently published in the New York Times that quoted an old friend, Jimmy Scalf. The story was on the final season of the Appalachia (Virginia) High School football team, soon to be consolidated with another school district. Jimmy, a former School Board member and active member of the Athletic Boosters in Port Clinton, went to high school there. ——— We had 110 “correctâ€? entries in our Find Wylie contest last week. Walt Harkness, of Fremont, found Wylie in the L&D Lawn Services ad on page 7B of last week’s Beacon. Walt wins a $20 gift certificate to Kokomo Bay. We will hide 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. Amy Behm of Oak Harbor won a $20 Friendship Food Stores Gas Card just for signing up on our “Win it on the Webâ€? contest. She just clicked the icon on our Web site. ——— You know, when you are 24 years old, you think you will live forever. Unfortunately, that is not always the case. Josh Rollheiser died a couple of weeks ago of a massive heart attack and did not have insurance. There will be a special Texas Hold ’em benefit to help is family who was devastated by the loss, not to mention the expense. The “buy-inâ€? is $60 which includes food and beverages. The event will be held Friday, Oct. 23, at the Roger Carpenter Boy Scout Building at the end of Jefferson Street in Oak Harbor. ——— An officer of the Ohio State Highway Patrol will be at The Vineyard on Catawba to speak about the new driving laws in Ohio this Wednesday, Oct. 21, at 10:30 a.m. There will be a review of safe walking, biking and driving rules along with a question and answer period afterward. The program is open to the public. ——— The Ottawa County Humane Society and the North Coast Cancer Foundation will be the beneficiaries of a “Sweetest Day Black Tie Galaâ€? this Saturday, Oct. 17, at Lyman Harbor in Sandusky from 6 to 11 p.m. By the way, formal attire is NOT required. For information, contact the Humane Society at 419-7345191 or call Lyman Harbor at 419-625-9626. ——— P.E.O. local Chapter AI will hold its annual Rummage Sale this Friday and Saturday at St. Thomas Episcopal Guild Hall, 214 E. Second St., in Port Clinton. Friday hours are 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday hours are 9 a.m. to noon. They will have a good selection of gently used clothing, household items, jewelry, furniture, baby items, toys and much more. Proceeds benefit their Scholarship Fund along with other philanthropic endeavors. For information, contact Sandy Schaffner at 419-797-1349. ——— The Ottawa County Genealogical Society will meet this Tuesday, Oct. 20, at 7 p.m. at the Fountain Inn in Lakeside (enter at the Maple Avenue entrance). The group will go to the Lakeside Heritage Society Archives where Janet Stephenson will show their genealogical materials. There will also be a tour of Heritage Hall in Lakeside. That will be followed up with a birthday cake for the organization’s 40th anniversary. ——— The next Ottawa County Retired Teacher Association luncheon and meeting will be held at noon Thursday, Oct. 22, at Trinity United Methodist Church in Port Clinton.

BY LEONARD A. PARTIN Fireland’s Realtor of the year 2009 As an active Realtor and real estate broker I am always being asked: How’s the market? Have the prices hit the bottom yet? As in most of the country, our local market area is down in the number of residential units sold. The good news is the prices seem to have bottomed out and are starting to rebound. In the peak year of 2006, our MLS reported Jan. 1-Oct. 7 residential sales of 363 units. Compared to Jan. 1-Oct. 7 this year with 247 units. Each of the past four years, the total number of units sold has fallen — from 363, 347, 293 down to 247. That is a more than 30 percent reduction in residential units sold. The good news is the average prices are on the rise. In October 2008, the average price for the 32 reported sales was $198,058. February 2009 reports showed the lowest average price of $94,450 for only nine sales. Since February, the average price has gradually increased resting at an average price of $166,493 for the 36 reported sales in September 2009. Another reflection supporting the bottom is behind us is the reported quarterly sales activity. First quarter of 2008 reported 57 residential sales at an average price of $171,298. Second quarter 112 sales average price of $200,556. Third quarter 118 sales average price $182,087. The final quarter 2008 reported 74 sales with an average price of $186,665. First quarter of 2009 was the lowest reported average selling price $139,115 for 49 sales. Second quarter sales 90 units at $163,458.00. Third quarter residential sales was 104 with an average selling price of $175,695. The number of attractive homes on the market, sellers’ level of understanding the market place, the availability of attractive mortgage interest rates, plus the government tax incentives could make this the best opportunity a buyer will ever have. Call your local Realtor before you lose your opportunity to take advantage of this unique market place.

Women's Club spreading the warmth BY ANGIE ADAIR The Lakeside Women’s Club has been working hard to keep Ottawa County warm. The group — which meets throughout the 10-week summer season — recently turned in 22 homemade blankets to the Salvation Army. Detra Bennett, of Potomac, Md., said an article she read sparked the idea for the project about five years ago. “I was intrigued by this Warm Up America program I read about in a magazine,� she said According to www.warmupamerica. org, volunteers donate their time to crochet and knit 7-inch by 9-inch

To the Editor: This letter is written in support of the passage of the 0.9 mill levy that is on the upcoming ballot for the Port Clinton Ida Rupp Library. As most everyone knows, funding for Ohio public libraries was cut by 31 percent in the state government’s effort to balance the state budget. The Ida Rupp Public Library receives about 95 percent of its funding from the state budget. In response to the budget cuts, Ida Rupp has made dramatic and painful cuts to its hours of operation, services, and purchases. Anyone who uses the library, even if only occasionally, has felt the effects of these cuts. In a Sept. 24 letter, Peggy Debien eloquently listed the multitude of services provided by the well-trained and committed staff of Ida Rupp. I would like to speak of one of the lesser known, but invaluable services that our library affords its patrons, that being the service of Interlibrary Loan. Interlibrary loan is a service whereby a user of one library can borrow books or receive photocopies of documents that are owned by another library. The user makes a request with their local library, which, acting as an intermediary, identifies owners of the desired item, places the request, receives the item, makes it available to the user and arranges for its return. Having just completed an advanced graduate degree, and living far from any major university library, the interlibary loan service of Ida Rupp allowed me to access books from libraries throughout the nation, and in some cases from countries throughout the world. In addition, the incredibly competent and knowledgable staff at Ida Rupp was always professional, friendly, willing and able to assist me with my requests, no matter how obscure. This amazing service is provided free of charge, to anyone holding a library card. I would find it very sad to think that others in my position would not be able to benefit from Interlibrary Loan, or other valuable services at the hands of permanent funding cuts. In this time of economic hardship, the library services are needed more than ever, by many. The Ida Rupp Library is a gem in our community and its services are priceless. Please, let’s vote to keep it that way. Margy VanLerberghe

Dear Editor: Paul Shaw is the campus administrator of The Vineyard on Catawba, a community for those 55 and older. My husband and I have lived there for three years — we qualify for the “older� designation. We have seen how well Paul has identified the needs of the residents by listening and responding to their needs. He plans for their comfort and security and is careful in involving all residents in changes and activities. All of these qualities we need in our Port Clinton City School Board members. Paul’s energy and experience plus, most importantly, his being the father of three children in the Port Clinton schools make him a perfect addition to the school board. In this time of change and difficult fiscal decisions, we need someone who can meet these problems with experience and skill. His decisions will benefit the future of the children of our community. As parents of three children who went through the Port Clinton school system and now lead useful lives, we are anxious to see this quality of education continue. We feel Paul Shaw wants his three children to grow up in a school system that will prepare them for the future. We endorse Dear Editor: Paul Shaw for this most important position as a member On Nov. 3, Ohio voters will have a chance to put food of the Port Clinton City School Board. safety in the hands of those who know what is best for our Don and Joan Loeffler livestock.

How about a shower of greeting cards for Dick and Alberta Kaspar? They will celebrate the 65th anniversary of their marriage on Oct. 28. Their address is 907 Kaspar St., Port Clinton, OH 43452. I know that this popular couple would love to hear from their many friends and extended family. Dick and Alberta are two people who have contributed significantly to the community life of Bay Township, of Port Clinton and, indeed, of all of Ottawa County. They have been active in church and agricultural associations, to name just two. I hope you’ll send a card to let them know you’re thinking of them at this important milestone in their lives.

——— I received a cute note from Jane Kemp. She was responding to my comments about fruit flies in this column. She said that she had read somewhere long ago about how to make a trap for fruit flies and she said that it really works. Here are the instructions: Take a paper or plastic cup, and put a little vinegar or pickle juice or even a piece of cut fruit in it. Put plastic wrap over the top of the cup. Secure it with a rubber band to make the plastic tight. Poke just two or three small holes in the plastic with a pin or needle. The fruit flies will go into the cup and are trapped. Then just dispose of all of it. Jane also responded to the note in this

column last week about children saying funny things in church-related or religious situations. She said that she used to work in a church preschool in Wisconsin. The children brought their lunches. One little 4-year-old boy was asked to pray for the meal. He asked the Lord to bless the food, then added, “And, God, please don’t let my daddy put this kind of bread and these kind of cookies in my lunch anymore. Amen.â€? So‌ what about the rest of you readers? Do you also have cute stories about kids in these kinds of situations? I’d love to hear them and share them with folks in this column. Just e-mail me at ginny@nwonline.net or write to 900 S. Schau Rd., Port Clinton. ——— Let’s extend a greeting of welcome to Rev. Mike Weichers. He and his wife have recently moved to Port Clinton and are living in the Peace Lutheran Church parsonage on Alice Street. Mike will be the pastor not only for the Lutheran Church but also for St. Thomas Episcopal Church here. He will share his time equally between the two churches, and will preach at both each Sunday. On the fifth Sundays of the month (four times a year) the two churches will meet for a joint worship service. I believe that this is the first time in our local area that there has been such a shared ministry with churches of two denominations participating. We extend our best wishes to both churches and their new pastor for a very successful venture. I did enjoy reading Mike’s first “Pastoral Ponderingsâ€? in the church newsletter. He recounts his experience of leaving a successful large church and ministry at Bucyrus because he felt led to try something new in ministry. He and his wife Angie are already well settled into the parsonage, because he says his wife is great at making a new home. He acknowledges that he is not totally organized yet and still has some unpacking to do — well, maybe a lot of unpacking to do! He has already set a schedule of office hours at both churches, and will try to keep Friday as his day off. The part of his “letterâ€? that I liked best was where he recounted how welcome he has been made to feel by the two congregations here. He has received cakes, apples and many other foods as welcoming gifts. He claims to have gained 10 pounds since he arrived! If you think you would be interested in this combined ministry happening at either of the two churches of which he will be pastor, contact Mike at weichersmike@ yahoo.com. –—— It is not too early to mark your calendars for March 5 and 6 to participate in a women’s retreat next spring. This will include an overnight pajama party. It will be a hosted by the women of Trinity United Methodist Church, second and Adams Streets, Port Clinton. The agenda is already set, and it will include worship, meals, craft projects, fun and communion for all participants. Call the church office at 419-732-3161 for information or to register. ——— John Gibson, of Catawba Island, was recently honored by The Greater Toledo Area Chapter of the American Red Cross. He received the Clara Barton Award for outstanding service to volunteer leadership. This is the highest honor a volunteer can receive from the American Red Cross. During 30 years of service, John has primarily been a leader in emergency services. He has also served on the local advisory board and

has frequently volunteered for the blood services program. Congratulations, John. You are surely deserving of this recognition and award. ——— A wellness newsletter, “The Well Workplace,� offers these suggestions for preventing the flu. It states that good health habits can help stop germs. Yearly shots can help a lot, but good health habits can help prevent the spread of germs. Here are the suggestions listed (paraphrased from the article): s !VOID CLOSE CONTACT WITH ANYONE WHO is sick. If you are sick, keep your distance from others to protect them from getting sick, too, and to keep from spreading the illness around. s 3TAY HOME WHEN YOU ARE SICK 3TAY AWAY from work, school and doing errands. s 7HEN YOU COUGH OR SNEEZE COVER YOUR mouth and nose with a tissue. s +EEP YOUR HANDS CLEAN 7ASH YOUR HANDS often with soap. This will help protect you from any germs that you may have touched. s !VOID TOUCHING YOUR EYES AND NOSE OR mouth. Doing so will help keep germs from spreading. s 0RACTICE OTHER GOOD HEALTH HABITS BY GETting plenty of sleep, being active, managing your stress, drinking plenty of fluids and eating nutritious foods. The source for this article came from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. I would add two additional comments. First, I have heard that if you do not have a tissue into which to sneeze or cough, it is best to raise your arm, and sneeze into your elbow area. This keeps the germs from flying outward into the air and also away from your own hands. Secondly, I’d really like to stress the advisability of staying at home when you don’t feel well. It’s very tempting to continue your regular schedule. But you’ll feel better if you stay at home and rest, not to mention that you’ll not infect others. ——— Isn’t it great to get together with old friends? Several of us had a great opportunity to meet with other gals from our elementary school class this past Saturday. Jolene Danklefsen Kuzma and Myra Kuzma Ohm entertained us for lunch at Jolene’s home in Marblehead. It was also fun to take a tour of Jolene’s house. She has added on and completely redecorated. The work was done by a local contractor, but Jolene planned the design. Primarily that involved opening up several small rooms to create an open floor plan. And what used to be the living room is now the master bedroom. The addition incorporates a completely new living room that opens onto a large porch. There is also a new open stairway to the second floor, and it is a masterpiece. But, all of her guests especially liked her kitchen. There is lots of beautiful wood cabinetry, some with doors with open glass fronts. Topping it all off is a garden window facing the south over her kitchen sink. It is apparent that Jolene is really enjoying the “new� house and is very happy there. ——— This Saturday and Sunday were beautiful days. I happened to take a long drive, and noted many beautiful autumn colors in the foliage. I’m not sure, but I think we might be approaching the peak colors this week. So this would be a great time to relax, take a drive, and enjoy the view.

Schools Preschoolers Back to the Wild The Port Clinton preschoolers from 135 habitat for injured, orphaned and dis- presents educational programs to students Adams St. recently traveled to an animal placed animals in Castalia. Back to the Wild from all over Northwest Ohio. The primary mission is to rehabilitate and ultimately release these animals back into their natural habitat. They are a non-profit corporation, and depend on donations. The preschoolers were able to see up close, many different animals including an eagle that that had been hit by a train in Port Clinton, near Second Street. The eagle had lost an eye, and broke his wing. Some of the students also released a few Monarch butterflies hoping they will migrate down to Mexico. Each butterfly had an informative sticker on the wing letting Mexico know where they came

from, and also to let the habitat know they made it to Mexico. After the program, the students enjoyed their snack sitting next to the owls and eagles in their cages.

Parish members going door to door Immaculate Conception Catholic Church, Port Clinton, is celebrating “The Spirit of Jesus Alive Today: Pentecost in Our Time,� a home visitation process that takes members of the parish beyond the church walls. This door-to-door effort will extend an invitation to Catholics and others who no longer practice their faith. Parish members will visit homes giving packets of information on the Catholic faith, and information on Immaculate Conception Parish. This effort came about from an appeal from the Bishop to all parishes within the Toledo Diocese to make evangelization a priority. It is a build up to two major celebrations: The Toledo Diocese will celebrate 100 years in April 2010. Immaculate Conception Parish in Port Clinton will celebrate 150 years in 2011. Immaculate Conception Parish will be knocking on all 9,432 households within their boundaries, including the city of Port Clinton and the townships of Catawba Island, Portage, Erie and Bay. This campaign will continue throughout October 2009 in Port Clinton boundaries along with the Diocese of Toledo.

Entertainment Local tavern celebrates 30 years BY ANGIE ADAIR The owners of one of Port Clinton’s favorite taverns are celebrating three decades of beer and pizza Saturday. Jimmy and Nancy Russell and the staff at Bell Mell Tavern are throwing a party 30 years to the day after Jimmy purchased the bar Oct. 17, 1979. “We want to thank our customers,� he said. The event will be just as much an appreciation event as it is an anniversary celebration. In addition to the regulars, Jimmy will honor long-time employee “The Captain� Dick Below who is celebrating his 20th anniversary behind the bar. The manager of 12 years Barb Erickson has also put in a lot of hours over the years. She has worked at the tavern in some capacity since 1980. A buffet featuring Bell Mell’s homemade pizza will be set up and the crew will offer happy hour specials from noon to 6 p.m. Bar favorite Crazy Marvin and The Blues Express from Cleveland will perform from 6 to 10 p.m. When asked why Bell Mell has had such continued success, Jimmy simply says “the customers. “We have had so many regular customers that were here when we began and now their kids are regulars,� he said. The bar isn’t only a family tradition for the locals. Jimmy’s mom, Virginia Turner, was a huge part of the family business. She retired from Port Clinton National Bank after 27 years and worked until her passing in 2008 keeping the books and cooking up the famous food. Turner made pizza sauce and dough from the original recipe with another of Jimmy’s family members: Grandma Myrtle Bahnsen. Bell Mell Tavern today looks very different than it did when it first opened in 1935. The bar has expanded, been remodeled and extended outside with the addition of a patio and deck in 2007. But no matter how many changes have come to pass, according to Jimmy one fact remains: “it’s the original neighborhood bar.� The bar is open from 11 a.m. to 1 a.m. daily with kitchen service from 11 a.m. to midnight. Call Bell Mell at 419732-2760 (bar) or 419-732-7337 (kitchen). For information, visit www.bellmell.com.

7HERE YOUR JOURNEY BEGINS

History of Bell Mell Tavern 1905 — Building was built at 307 Fulton St. 1935 — Bar was established by original owners Bella and Mel Russell (no relation to the present owners). The tavern originally was a passenger train station for Norfolk & Western Railroad. Customers traveling to and from Pittsburg, Cleveland, Toledo, and Chicago would stop at the bar to purchase their train ticket and have a beverage before boarding the train. 1979 — Bell Mell was sold to Jimmy Russell who owns it today with his wife, Nancy. With the bar came the original pizza dough and sauce recipes still used today. 2000 — Former barbershop that shared the Fulton Street location became the kitchen for Bell Mell pizza. The bar is also the former location for a “Sip and Dip� Ice Cream Parlor, and a shoe repair shop. 2007 — Ohio’s no smoking law prompted an indoor remodel and addition of a deck and patio area where smoking is permitted.

FootballRoundup MARGARETTA 33 — PORT CLINTON 14 BY J. PATRICK EAKEN The Port Clinton Redskins were confident they could defeat the Margaretta Polar Bears Friday night. The Redskins defeated Oak Harbor two weeks earlier, and the Rockets defeated the Polar Bears by two touchdowns, 33-21, one week prior to the PC-OH game. But things did not work out Friday night. The Redskins lost their second consecutive Sandusky Bay Conference game Friday night to the Polar Bears, 33-14. The Polar Bears got 106 yards rushing from running back Devin Jones and three touchdowns from Bryce Frederick in defeating the Redskins. Port Clinton got its first touchdown on a

14-yard pass from junior quarterback Derek Colston to sophomore receiver Steve Wingo with 5:33 remaining in the first half. The Redskins scored the second time in the third quarter via a 12-play scoring drive, which ended in a two-yard touchdown run by senior running back Richard Harris. Port Clinton (3-4, 1-3) hosts Sandusky St. Mary Central Catholic (1-6, 0-4) this Friday night. St. Mary is winless in the SBC this season after losing 28-0 to Clyde Friday night, and it’s only win of the season is a 43-27 non-league victory over Mapleton. The Panthers lost to Margaretta this season, 42-14, to Perkins 57-0, but gave Huron a good fight in falling, 32-19.

With the dirtiest uniform on the field, Port Clinton’s Richard Harris heads upfield for a big gain against Margaretta. PHOTO BY BILL MIGALA

NORTHWOOD 49 — DANBURY 8 BY J. PATRICK EAKEN The Northwood Rangers stayed unbeaten in the Toledo Area Athletic Conference with a 49-8 victory over Danbury Friday night on the Lakers’ field. The Rangers scored three first half touchdowns, and added four more in the second half before Danbury could get on the scoreboard. Senior George Biedenbach scored Danbury’s only touchdown on a fiveyard run late in the fourth quarter. Senior quarterback Nathan Hartman added the two point conversion run for the Lakers. The electrifying and hard running Biedenbach finished the game with 93 yards rushing on 25 carries, and now is just one yard short of surpassing the 500-yard mark for the season with 499 yards on 71 carries (seven yards per carry).

the Chargers on a two-yard run with 8:04 remaining in the third quarter, the Rocket offense got into gear. Running back Jake Scott scored on a four-yard run with 4:59 remaining in the third, and then Scott added another touchdown on a 77-yard run in the fourth. Myles Backus added the conversion kick on Scott’s first touchdown. Scott led the Oak Harbor running game with 77 yards on five carries, good for 16.4 yards per carry. Quarterback Steve Young added 15 yards on five carries, including a 12-yard run. Matt Klippstein, Jordan Cannet, and sophomore Brian Mallernee each carried the football two times for Oak Harbor. Still, the Chargers dominated on paper, getting 17 first downs to Oak Harbor’s five. The Chargers outgained Oak Harbor in total yardage 470 to 160, with 421 of Edison’s yards coming via the run. Yovanov averaged 19 yards per carry in gaining 114 yards on six carries. Howard added 99 yards on 22 carries. Yovanov and Brandon Tomson combined completed only 2-of-7 passes for 49 yards.

Firelands in nation’s top 10 percent in vascular surgery rankings SANDUSKY — Vascular surgery at Firelands Regional Medical Center has been ranked in the top 10 percent in the nation by a new study released by HealthGrades, the leading independent healthcare ratings organization. The ranking places Firelands as one of only 52 hospitals in the nation to receive the HealthGrades Vascular Surgery Excellence Award. Firelands is among the top three in Ohio in vascular surgery and the only hospital in northwest Ohio to receive this award. The HealthGrades study evaluates objective patient outcomes in the nation’s 5,000 hospitals. “This ranking reflects the experience, outcomes and dedication of Drs. Swayngim, Buehrer and Kim, Vascular Surgeons on our Medical Staff, as well as the excellence of our entire Vascular Surgery team,� says Chuck Stark, president

and CEO of Firelands. “The real winner in this type of recognition however, are our patients and community residents who have the resources of one of the nation’s best in Vascular Surgery and the only program in northwest Ohio with this distinction.� Mr. Stark continues, “Our team of Vascular Surgeons collectively have 45 years of experience and strictly practice Vascular Surgery exclusively at Firelands. Patients have a choice of where to go for healthcare. No one from this area needs to go out of town for vascular care when Firelands has this distinct level of expertise right here in Sandusky.� The 2010 HealthGrades hospital ratings — including the complete methodology — are posted at www.healthgrades.com.

Financial Focus WITH GARY COON

Keep inflation in mind when investing

$ % $ $

As an investor, you’re always aware of the potential effects of market volatility on your portfolio. But you also need to pay attention to another factor that could impact your investments’ return — inflation. If you look back over the last few decades, you might not think inflation is much of a threat. Since the double-digit rates of the early 1980s, inflation has fallen significantly and, for the most part, has stayed low. Still, over time even a mild annual inflation rate can eventually erode your purchasing power. Obviously, if you’re a retiree, or close to retiring, you need to plan for the impact of inflation on your income stream, which may, to a large degree, depend on the types of investments you own. But even if you’re at an earlier stage in life, you need to think about inflation because it can reduce the “real� rate of return you receive on your investments. In any case, you can find investments that may be able to help you cope with inflation. When you own stocks, for example, you’ve got an ownership stake in companies that have the ability to raise prices — which make them effective inflation-fighting investments. Keep in mind an investment in stocks fluctuates and you can lose your money. But one of the biggest inflation-fighting benefits of stocks is the dividends that they may pay. Well-run companies may reward investors by paying them back with dividends — and some companies have increased their dividends annually for decades. A word of caution, though: Companies can reduce or eliminate them at any time, without notice. In fact, during the long market slump we experienced, some companies did cut back on their dividend payments. Not all stocks pay dividends, of course. In any case, if you’re going to maintain a balanced portfolio, you’ll also want to own other types of investments, such as bonds. But many bonds — along with other fixed-income vehicles, such as Certificates of Deposit — are not good “inflation fighters� because the fixed rate of return they offer simply may not keep up with inflation. However, if you built a “bond ladder� — that is, a group of bonds with varying maturities — you’d have more flexibility in combating inflation, because your longer-term bonds typically offer higher interest rates. What about the so-called “inflation hedges,� such as commodities and real estate? Actually, these “hedges� are extremely volatile and should be approached with great caution. You need look no further back than the bursting of the housing “bubble� to see that real estate, for instance, can go down just as fast as it goes up — and once down, it can take years to recover. In your efforts to invest wisely for the future, inflation is only one of the variables you need to consider. But it can be an important one — so make sure you choose the investments that both address inflation and can help you make progress toward all your financial goals.
