TELLTALES BY JOHN SCHAFFNER
Before going onstage for Walleye Madness last Wednesday night, we had a marvelous dining experience at the New Year’s Buffet at The Island House. I ran into retiring Judge Paul Moon, and his only comment was “Isn’t it great to see this place hopping again?” There is more good news for downtown Port Clinton. I told you a couple of weeks ago about making a road trip to Green Springs and Papa Jimmy’s. Now, it is my understanding that Jim Kleinhans is bringing Papa Jimmy’s to Port Clinton and will be doing the food service at Slater’s Pub (formerly the Tin Goose Saloon). Last Sunday, we had breakfast at Second Street Diner, and it was packed. And there was Bob Underwood, behind the snack bar! In addition, several new businesses, including a new western restaurant, are locating there. What a difference having the Island House back and running has made. –––––––– We had 73 entries in our “Where’s Wylie” contest this week and our winner is Charles Kassay of Port Clinton who found Wylie Walleye in the Marilyn’s ad on page 6A in last week’s Beacon. Charles wins a $20 gift certificate to any Friendship Food Store throughout the area. We’ll be hiding Wylie Walleye again this week in one of our ads. If you find him, register to win by mailing the form in the paper; by dropping it off at our office next to Goodwill Industries in the Beacon Place Shopping Center; e-mail your entry to whereswylie@thebeacon.net; or click on the Wylie icon on our home page at www.thebeacon.net www.thebeacon.net. We had 61 entries in our “Win it on the Web” contest this week. The winner is Alberta Seymour of Oak Harbor who clicked her way to a $20 gas card from Friendship Food Stores. You might be our next winner, just log on to www.thebeacon.net and click on the “Win it on the Web” icon. –––––––– We have received quite a few comments on our “Tin Goose Rising” story from a couple of weeks ago. Andy Love, who worked and lived here for many years, sent me some photos, including one taken after the crash at the PC Airport in the 1970s. We also received a copy of the obituary from 2003 of Harold Hauck, Sr., who served as chief pilot of Island Airlines for some 32 years. –––––––– This Saturday, the Bloodmobile returns to Catawba Community Hall from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. For an appointment, call 419-734-1100. Walk-ins are welcome after 10 a.m. A photo ID is required. The Ballet School is starting a new Pre-School ballet class for 3 and 4 year olds. Classes will be held on Saturday mornings from 10:30 – 11 a.m. Space if very limited so register today by calling Mary Ann Snider at 419-635-6106. –––––––– Two nice events will be held at the Oak Harbor Public Library this week. There will be a used book sale Monday through Friday, January12-16 from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Proceeds will help offset the projected 7% decrease in State funding for libraries in Ohio. Also, Miss Brenda will present Story-time for preschoolers on Wednesdays at 11:30 a.m. or Thursdays at 7 p.m. starting on January 14. The adult book discussion group meets the third Thursday of each month at 10:30 a.m. –––––––– The Oak Harbor Knights of Columbus invites all boys and girls ages 10-14 to participate in the local level of competition for the 2009 K of C Free Throw Championship this Sunday, January 11 at St. Boniface School Gym.

The website is … www.ibeamsystems.com/private/brushwellman –––––––– Did you know that local insurance agent Matt Montowski helped make the holiday shine more brightly. One of his companies, Pekin Insurance, held a “Help the Troops Call Home for the Holidays” sales contest culminating in USO phone cards being sent to active units overseas.

Carl Koebel says Farewell after 12 years as County Commissioner
See You Later BY JOHN SCHAFFNER Being a County Commissioner is one of the most misunderstood offices in politics. For the last 12 years, Carl Koebel has served Ottawa County in that capacity, but handed the reins over this week to incoming Republican Mark Stahl. It is the first time Ottawa County has had a Republican majority on the Board of Commissioners since the mid 1970s. “First of all, I would like it said that no commissioner works alone; it is a team effort,” said Koebel on Tuesday morning. “I have been blessed to work beside people like Steve (Arndt), John (Papcun) and Jim (Sass) over the past 12 years and we worked well together, even when we didn’t agree on an issue.” Koebel believes strongly that the cooperation in the County Commissioners office spilled over into other offices which provided a friendly working environment in county government. We asked Carl Koebel to outline some of his more memorable achievements during his tenure. “I would say completion and addition to the Regional Water System, construction of County Agricultural Center and Resource Center, renovation of the Courthouse, establishment of County Housing Authority Board, establishment of the county Senior Resources program and expansion of sewers into Clay Center and Clay Township.” There have also been some disappointing moments as well. Koebel points to the recent failure of the Riverview Healthcare Campus levy, plant closings at Uniroyal and Celetex, as well as not being able to bring sewers to Johnson’s Island. Koebel also points to the South Bass Island water fiasco of several summers back. “Ohio EPA

Erie County Commission Nancy McKean joined Carl Koebel admiring the quilt he received as a going away present from the staff at the Commissioners office. PHOTO BY JOHN SCHAFFNER has yet to provide a valid connection between any illness and a specific water system on the island,” says Koebel. Koebel concluded by saying, “I know that I said it before, but I want to thank the people of Ottawa County for giving me the opportunity to serve as one of their commissioners for the past twelve years. They have been the happiest years of my life. I also want to thank my family for putting up with all the missed meals, school events, or lost family time when duty called. They have been spectacular supporters.”
Tax Bill is in the Mail
Property tax bills will be arriving soon in mailboxes across Ottawa County. Due to recent levies now taking effect, property owners may notice changes in their bill from last year, Ottawa County Auditor Jo Ellen Regal said. Other reasons taxpayers bill could change this year include: a special assessment (such as a ditch, sewer, etc) is added or removed to that taxing district, a levy is removed or added to that taxing district, the millage rate in a district

changes or a property changed use. For example, if the use has changed from commercial to residential the taxes might change. More reasons for change in bills could be that a Homestead Exemption was added or removed from the property, the 2 ½% owner-occupied tax reduction was added or removed, new structures or new buildings were removed or added to the property, on commercial or industrial properties, a tax abatement may have been added or expired, on agricultural properties, the Current Agricultural Use Value program may not have been renewed, therefore a recoupage charge was levied on the property, CAUV values may have changed. The auditor’s office also has been working on the state mandated Triennial update with new values expected to be available in the spring, Regal said. These new values will impact the tax bill taxpayers receive in 2010. The triennial values are determined based on a comparison of the auditor’s current value (established by the 2006 sexennial reappraisal) with verified sales that occurred in the three years since the last appraisal (2006, 2007 and 2008) and the indicated percentage change is then applied to all properties in a neighborhood, Regal explained.

Financial Focus Enjoy One-year Holiday from Required Minimum Distributions Although it sounds strange, you may encounter situations in which you have to accept money even if you’d rather not. Such is the case with required minimum distributions (RMDs) from your traditional IRA, 401(k) or other employGARY COON, er-sponsored retirement EDWARD plan. But thanks to recent JONES legislation, you can igINVESTMENTS nore the “required” part of RMDs — at least for a year. Specifically, lawmakers recently placed a one-year moratorium on taking (RMDs) for 2009. If you’re not familiar with the rules governing RMDs, here’s a little background: Generally, the IRS requires you to begin taking RMDs in the year in which you turn 70-1/2, or no later than April 1 of the following year. For example, if you turn 70-1/2 in 2009, you would normally be required to take your first RMD by April 1, 2010. You must also think about RMDs if you are a beneficiary of someone else’s IRA, 401(k) or other retirement account, because when the account owner dies, regardless of age, you must generally begin taking RMDs. And this is also true if you

are the beneficiary of a Roth IRA, even though Roth IRA owners are never required to take RMDs. But thanks to the new legislation, you can skip the required 2009 distribution if you reach 70-1/2 in 2009 or if you’re a beneficiary currently required to take RMDs. You also have until Dec. 31, 2010, to accept the 2010 RMD, which will be based on your retirement account balance at the end of 2009. Why did Congress decide to provide this RMD “holiday” for 2009? For the answer, you need look no farther than your IRA or 401(k) account balance. As you are well aware, 2008 was not a stellar year for the stock market. Consequently, as 2008 draws to a close, the market value of your IRA or 401(k) is probably considerably lower than it was in earlier years. This could have been a problem for you if you had to start taking RMDs in 2009, because these distributions are based, in part, on your account balance at the close of the previous year — which means you may well have had to sell some stocks or other investments in your retirement plan when their price was down. To help people avoid having to “sell low,” Congress acted. Ultimately, you will have to end up taking distributions again. But before that happens, take some time to decide how large a distribution you should accept each year. If you need the money, you might have to take out more than the RMD. But if you can get by on just the minimum distribution, you may want to do so, thereby keeping as much of your retirement account as possible in a taxdeferred account. But for now, if you have any questions about taking RMDs in 2009, contact your financial and tax advisors.

BeaconBits Christmas Reflections Well, I guess my holidays are almost over now that the New Year 2009 has arrived. Some of my Christmas engagements were postponed due to illness of other people, but we did our celebrating (after they recovered). I was never able to get all of my Christmas cards written and mailed and I do regret that. I tried. But I just couldn’t get it finished as there were too many other tasks to so. I’ll have to write something later to send to family and friends who were neglected this year. Even though Christmas is truly past, I’m still enjoying my lighted Christmas trees. Inside the house there are several with small white lights. On the porch there is a larger tree and in the office a tiny tree - both with colored lights. They are fun to see in the evening, and I’m surely not ready to dis-

mantle them yet. In fact, the house will look drab when all this glitzy stuff is put away for another year. This weekend has been a quiet one. So I’ve had fun watching a DVD of “An Affair to Remember”. This Cary Grant/ Deborah Kerr movie was made in 1957 and has recently been released in a 50th anniversary edition. The motion picture is a true icon. It’s always been popular but it has seen new life since it was featured in the movie “Sleepless in Seattle.” People who saw “Sleepless” decided they wanted to see the older classic, too. So “Affair” had a revival of sorts. I received the DVD as a Christmas gift. It has two discs featuring not only the movie but also interviews about the stars, the producer, director, etc. From those, I learned something I never knew before. Deborah Kerr, who starred in the musical, “The King and I” and “sang” in “An Affair to Remember” actually was not a singer! Her singing was dubbed by Marnie Nixon in both pictures. That was a surprise. I had always thought of Kerr as having a beautiful singing voice. Other DVD’s I received for Christmas were “Forrest Gump” and “Charlie Wilson’s War”. I’ve previously seen them both and will really enjoy having them available to see often. I recommend both of them. I also received “Mama Mia” and “Pride and Prejudice”, the P&P version that stars Keira Kneightly. If you have young children or grandchildren to entertain, Karen Shaw said her children received several entertaining (for all ages) DVD’s for Christmas this year. They enjoyed family movie nights complete with popcorn over the long winter break. Some of their favorite films included “Horton Hears a Who” (an animated adventure based on one of Dr. Seuss’ most beloved stories), “Kit Kittredge, An American Girl” (a story about how a nine-year-old girl and her family cope during the Great Depression), and “Nim’s Island” (a tropical paradise where imagination runs wild and adventure rules). “Kung Fu Panda” and “Secrets of the Furious Five” were two others the Shaw family liked. Both delightful animated movies with a martial arts theme. For winter reading, if you are tired of watching movies, try a book or two by Agnes Sligh Turnbull. Some that are good ones are “The Bishop’s Mantle”, “Gown of Glory”, and “The Golden Journey”. Others of her stories are about life on the early frontier, some set in what is now Pennsylvania or Ohio. Some of you readers might like them, too, as they are fairly realistic. Turnbull is a writer who really delves deeply into the life of her characters so she is a good “read” for many people. Now, also about Christmas… Most people who have written or commented about the series of short stories I wrote in this column at Christmas time liked the one about the Underground Railroad best. It was also my own personal favorite. Votes are now coming in about whether readers of Beacon Bits prefer one longer, serialized story at Christmas time (or) a series of one short story per week. So far the jury is out, but the serialized story with one chapter per week seems to be the more popular choice. However, some folks think that the “one per week” is better because, if you miss a week, it’s no problem. Another item of interest about a Christmas gift: Did you know that there are now “smart” Crock Pots available? These may be pre-set to cook for a specified time. When that time is over, the pot automatically reduces heat to keep the food warm and stop the cooking process. I think this gift will be very handy in the future, especially since it was accompanied

by a crock-pot cookbook. I never expected to have a set of new pots and pans – but that was a gift from my son. I’m going to wash them and start using them tomor- BY VIRGINIA PARK row. There are new utensils, too. It makes some of the really old stuff that I’ve been using look pretty dismal. Perhaps the most unusual (and precious) gift I received was a couple of ancient coins. These are similar to what was known as “The Widow’s Mites”. This term is derived from the comments of Jesus about the very poor woman who gave two little coins to the treasury in the temple. The tiny “mites” (coins) I received are bronze (copper with a little tin, zinc or lead) and are the type of coins the widow woman presented as her gift. My old friend of many years, Lynn Jones, stopped in for a chat at Christmas time. Lynn and his wife Jane were neighbors many years ago before they built a house and moved over to Fremont Road. Lynn had two “Stylin’ Trucks” catalogs to show me. Both featured his 2000 ST Chevy pickup truck on the covers. Lynn goes to Cruise-ins and, at one such event, the company saw his truck and asked to photograph it. “Stylin’ Trucks” is headquartered in Independence, OH and sells a wide range of products to customize and decorate vehicles. The last item I received for Christmas was a little magazine produced by the H.J. Heinz Company (food producers). It lists 100 helpful household hints utilizing vinegar. One hint sounded very interesting. For getting rid of stain or clog build-up in a coffee maker, brew one pot using cold water with ¼ cup vinegar. Then follow with a cycle of clear water and if you can still smell vinegar run another cycle with clear water. I tried this and it worked like a charm. The coffee cooks a lot faster now that I’ve cleaned out the coffee-maker. I can remember going out to the home of my parents to visit them on Saturday nights many, many years ago. And, inevitably they would be watching “the Lawrence Welk Show”. We’d all have to watch it – whether we liked the show or not. Most of us did not like it back then. After the show was over, we could turn off the television and talk. The Welk show was the only show that held sway over family conversation. Who would believe that I am sitting here on a Saturday night, watching channel 30 (Public Television) and Lawrence Welk re-plays are being shown? That show is a staple of Saturday nights. It’s been on public television since 1987. So there must be a lot of folks who really enjoy it. I can’t describe myself as a real Welk fan but I do see it quite often because I AM a real fan of public television. I tune on Channel 30 whenever the television goes on which – at my house – is not really very often. I don’t like television very much. And, speaking of television, I did buy that box gadget that we all have to have to convert an old television for the new kind of digital transmission that is coming in February. I didn’t know how to install it, but my brother figured it out and took care of it. I’m surprised that the picture is so much improved over what I had before. I thought that having to buy the converter box was a bit of a rip-off and really still do not understand the transition. But I like the improved picture now that I’ve seen it. So that all worked out ok. Don’t forget to buy the converter box if you need it. February 19 is the date.

your New Year’s resolutions. Whether your goal is to lose weight, exercise regularly or just get healthy overall, ZUMBA can work for you. What is ZUMBA? Zumba fuses hypnotic Latin rhythms and easy to follow moves to create a dynamic fitness program. The goal is simple: to want to work out, to love working out, to get hooked. Zumba fanatics achieve long-term benefits in one exhilarating hour of caloric-burning, body-energizing, movements meant to engage and captivate for life. The routines feature interval training sessions where fast and slow rhythms, and resistance training are combined to tone and sculpt your body while burning fat. Add some Latin flavor and international zest into the mix and you’ve got Zumba. Find an exercise buddy. Get a friend involved and be each other’s motivators, or join a group. The advantage to this approach is that you know other people are counting on you and you don’t want to let them down.

Sports Road Warriors BY JOHN SCHAFFNER 4-0! Oh, yes, the Port Clinton Redskin boys basketball team is 4-3 overall, but they are 4-0 in the Sandusky Bay Conference heading into a critical weekend featuring a pair of Sandusky Bay Conference road games. Saturday night, they took the measure of Sandusky St. Mary’s 65-48 with five players getting into double figures in scoring. “It was nice having five guys reach double figures, and we received solid contributions from everyone in our 8-man rotation,” said Redskin Coach Troy Diels on Monday. However, he added, “we did not play very well overall. We turned the ball over too much especially in transition. We will have to work on that and make sure to get better in that area.” The Redskins jumped out fast taking a 15-5 lead after the first quarter, and held a 28-21 lead going into the locker room. They sealed the deal with an 18-11 margin in the third quarter and cruised home from there. Allen Tigner Allen Tigner scores two of his led 5 Redskins in double figures with game-high 13 points against St. 13. Also scoring in double digits were Mary’s last Satuday. Ryan Hicks, Derek Colston, Josh FranPHOTO BY BILL MIGALA cis and Cory Brown.
The Redskins are tied with surprising Edison for first place in the Conference heading into this weekend’s games at Perkins on Friday and at Huron on Saturday. “We have a long way to go in the Conference,” says Coach Diels. “Right now, we need to worry about making ourselves better in all aspects of the game.” Perkins beat Clyde 57-56 on Saturday to run their SBC record to 3-1 (4-2 overall), one game behind Edison and Port Clinton. “Perkins suffered through some early season injuries, and they are back at full strength with their roster and are starting to play good basketball,” says Coach Diels about Friday’s opponent. Shon Alexander is Perkins’ leader. He went coast-to-coast with a rebound to score the winning basket at Clyde. Saturday night, Huron will be the place for a back-to-back on the road. Says Coach Diels, “Huron is playing an up-tempo style this year, where they are pressing a lot and spreading teams out on offense. We will need to take care of the ball and play sold defense in order to get a win on Saturday.” Huron is 2-4 overall, and 2-2 in the conference following a 46-38 win over Oak Harbor

ence this weekend will be a big challenge for us,” says Coach Diels. “Perkins and Huron are two tough places to play.”

Danbury won its TAAC opener in thrilling fashion by defeating the Toledo Northwood Rangers by a score of 55-50. Tyler Boring converted four straight free-throws in the last minute of the game and Hunter Stephens scored the crucial go ahead basket with eight seconds left to seal the victory. “Tyler and Hunter both made some big plays down the stretch,” said Coach Joe Miller. “I am very proud of how they performed under pressure.” “Vincent Manuella also converted some big shots that kept us in the game early,” added Miller. Michael Hamann led the Lakers with 14 points, 6 rebounds, and 4 assists, while Manuella added 14 points, 3 rebounds, and 4 assists. Hunter Stephens contributed 13 points and 5 rebounds, with Tyler Boring adding 8 points and 12 rebounds. The J.V. team lost to Northwood by a score of 33-15. Freshmen Lucas Kennedy led the Lakers with 6 points. The Lakers defeated the St. Joe Crimson Streaks by a score of 63-55. Michael Hamann led the Lakers with 18 points, 7 rebounds, and 5 assists, while Rodney Johnson scored a career-high 17 points to go along with 5 rebounds and 2 steals. Tyler Boring tallied 10 points, 5 rebounds, and 2 assists and Vincent Manuella tallied 7 points and 6 assists. In addition, Steve Feyedelem scored a career-high 5 points coming off the bench for the Lakers. “It was a great team victory and the players are very excited about the winning streak,” said Coach Miller. The Lakers overall record is 4-2 and they are 1-0 in the TAAC.
Redskin Grapplers Take 3rd at Mal Mackey Tourney Port Clinton wrestling coach, John Hazzard has said all along that the fruits of their “biddy wrestling program” are beginning to show. Well, they showed up in a major fashion on Saturday as the Redskins took 3rd in the Mal Mackey Tournament at Fremont Ross. PC wrestlers claimed four weight class championships… Greg Willis at 103, Derrick Johannsen at 130, Jared Fleming at 152 and Richard Harris at 160. They had 5 wrestlers in the finals, as Jacob Fleming fell in his championship finals match at 125 lbs. Stephen Pastor won his consolation finals match to gain third place at 135, while Brandon Meadows lost in his consolation finals match at 215 to finish 4th. The Redskins travel to Lake for a dual match on Wednesday, January 14 before getting ready for the SBC Duals on January 23 and 24.

OH Girls Lose SBC Thriller At Clyde BY J. PATRICK EAKEN In a tightly-contested Sandusky Bay Conference matchup, but the Clyde Fliers prevailed over the Oak Harbor Rockets, 48-41. “It was a very physical game,” Oak Harbor coach Dick Heller said. “Both teams really got after each other. Clyde really played well and smart down the stretch. Our girls did a great job battling their pressure.” Neither team opened a really commanding lead, as the game opened with each team scoring 13 points over the first stanza. Clyde prevailed by six
points in the second quarter and took a 26-20 lead into intermission. The second half was more of the same, but each team scored eight points down the final eight-minute stretch, and the Fliers remained on top at the final horn. Three Fliers got into double figures, led by Kaylea Griffin with 15 points and Spencer Robbie and Rachael Smatzler each scored 10 points. Oak Harbor also had three players in double figures, led by Sara Lipstraw with 12 points, and Sam Scott and Kayla Diefenthaler had 10 points each. Diefenthaler grabbed seven rebounds,
Scott had four as the Rockets out rebounded the Fliers 23 to 20. The game included 47 turnovers, 25 by Oak Harbor and 20 by Clyde. The Rockets made 16-of-41 field goals and 6-of-10 free throws, while Clyde made 15-of-40 field goals and 14-of-20 free throws. Two Oak Harbor girls games have been rescheduled due to inclement weather. The Oak Harbor at Edison game has been moved from Dec. 19 to Feb. 17, and the Huron at Oak Harbor game has been moved from Dec. 23 to Jan. 17. Both games have 6 p.m. junior varsity starts with the varsity to follow.
Lady Lakers Tori England Dials Long Distance BY J. PATRICK EAKEN Tori England hit six 3-pointers and then Danbury held off a fourth quarter rally by Seneca East as the Lakers won a non-league contest, 47-42. The six treys accounted for all 18 of England’s points, and teammates Christine Longer and Jackie Lammers also hit treys to account for over half of Danbury’s scoring. But, in the end it was free throws that spelled the difference. Three third quarter treys by England and one by Lammers helped Danbury outscore Seneca East 17-9 over that eight-minute span and take a 37-25
lead headed into the fourth. Then, the Lakers connected on 10of-14 free throws in the final stanza to help erase any doubts of a win by Seneca East. The Lakers shot 64 percent from the charity stripe (13-of-24) for the entire game, and 33 percent from the field. Seneca East made 24 percent of their field goals, 60 percent of their free throws (12-of-20). Despite the good shooting, the game was marred with 50 turnovers, including 27 by Danbury and 23 by Seneca East. Seneca East controlled the boards by a 41 to 27 margin, but Destiny Taylor grabbed eight caroms to lead the

Rocket Wrestlers Put In Strong Showing at Medina Oak Harbor wrestler Ian Miller won the Medina Invite this past week with a perfect 5-0 record at 135 pounds. His efforts, along with the rest of the Rocket team, earned Oak Harbor a fifth place finish overall and a second place finish in the Division II category. Coming into the tournament, Miller was unseeded and drew the number one seed in the second round. It was a close match going into overtime, but Miller came out on top with a 12-7 victory. Miller was not the only Rocket wrestler to place. Oak Harbor put four other guys onto the podium. Drew Stone wrestled his way to a fourth place finish at 119, while Freshman Alex Bergman took fifth at 103. Zach Sandwisch put together Sara Fisher battles for a loose a string of wins to take sixth, and Mike Mallernee took eight ball against Perkins. in the 171 division. PHOTO BY BILL MIGALA
