The girls’ game will tip-off at 6 p.m., followed by the boys’ game at the Jim Poulos Recreation Center gym, Put-in- Bay School. This is not the first time these two island school districts have played one another. Put-in-Bay lost both games of a basketball double-header when they traveled to Mackinac Island on Dec. 29, 1994. “Their gym was so small that the spec- tators had to watch the game via closed circuit television from the classrooms next to the gym,” said Susan Har- rington, the coach at the time of that first meeting between the two schools. When Mackinac Island visited Put-in- Bay the following year, Harrington’s boys’ team executed an up-tempo style on Put-in-Bay’s “full-size court” to de- feat the Lakers. There are several similarities between the two islands. Mackinac Island, in Lake Michigan, is a top Midwest resort island, and 79 students attend kinder- garten through 12th grade. Put-in-Bay is also a popular tourist island destina- tion, located in Lake Erie, and has 86 students in pre-K through 12.

Put- in-Bay, however, plays an independent schedule of freshman teams from the Ohio mainland, along with a couple of varsity game against smaller schools.

At 53, Lori Berardi wasn’t ready to stop working and enjoying life. But cancer changed those plans, and a month before her death Stein Hospice was contacted. Lori spent the last two weeks of her life at our inpatient care center, surrounded by her warm and gregarious family, who circled the bed to cry and sing, pray and laugh.

Just days before her death, Lori promised her family she would send them a rainbow when she reached heaven. On the day of her funeral, as family and friends filtered out of the church, two brilliant rainbows illuminated the sky.

Stein Hospice made promises too. Stein promised Lori and her family they would provide medical care – and much more. Stein would send chaplains, social workers, bereavement counselors, massage therapists, home health aides and volunteers whenever she or her family needed or wanted those services. Stein would be available around the clock to answer questions and offer comfort. Stein would provide continuous care as Lori grew weaker and death was imminent.

Stein Hospice promised Lori and her family to share their journey.

“All the burdens were lifted and all we had to do was love her,” said Lori’s sister, Sue Fawcett. “Stein offered the comfort and suport our family needed during this difficult experience.”

The family’s only regret is that they didn’t contact Stein Hospice sooner.

Since 1982, Stein has lifted the burdens of thousands of families like the Berardis. We help light the way, while families are losing a loved one.

last flower arrangement wilts and the last family member has drifted home, it is now time to reflect.

Thankful is an all-encompassing word which hardly says near enough. My wife Ginger and I are thankful for

Coming from Detroit and moving

where all this would lead. One fact is for certain and that is the small town of Port Clinton and the Catawba Township is the best of what America is all about. Supportive, strong, heart-

felt and compassionate are only a few words to describe this area.

We thank everyone for being the best and for helping us absorb the loss of Jessica Frieda Schenk. Our wild child is gone, but her memory will live on as we build our “Jessica Schenk Me-morial Scholarship Fun.” We are off to a great start and our first recipient

is what our PC city schools gave our daughter Jessica and her family will in some small way show our apprecia-tion forever. In addition there will be an annual “Chase The Turkey, Jessica

God Bless everyone and their fami-lies through the holidays.

Dear friends and supporters,In the spring, the Friends of Port

Clinton Parks wrote to tell you of

support. We were planning to place six ornamental lampposts in Lakev-iew Park, along a new sidewalk on the south side of the paved parking lot. We felt this project would make the park more attractive and provide night-time illumination and a pleas-ant place to sit and look at the lake.

We are pleased to tell you that we are moving ahead with that project. The lampposts have been ordered and the electrical infrastructure will be laid in the ground within the next few weeks. The work is being done as part of a general upgrading of water and electrical service in Lakeview Park in preparation for the new restroom building to be built in the next few weeks.

This building will replace the cur-rent, dilapidated restrooms, and is be-ing built with grant money obtained by the city and private donations. Among those donations is a gift of $3,000 from the Friends of Port Clin-ton Parks. We wanted you to know that we have made this contribution and why we decided to spend money you have contributed on this project.

As you will remember, a new con-cession stand with restrooms has been the first priority for the last sev-eral years. However, the cost of the building we hoped to build made its construction prohibitive. It would have been many years before we could have made our building a reality.

Therefore, when Mayor Debbie Hymore-Tester invited us to consider this city-sponsored building, we were very interested. This will not be as large as we envisioned, but it will be a good start. It will give us new rest-rooms in the park and be the “starter”

building of a new conces-sion stand. We hope that as early as next spring, a con-cession stand will be operat-ing. We hope you agree with our decision to participate in erecting the new build-ing. We believe it will be a useful and attractive addi-tion to the park.

If you have not contribut-ed to Friends of Port Clin-ton Parks in the past, but would like to be included in the list of donors to the new building, send your contri-butions to Sharon Mefferd,

OH 43452. We will be ac-

or more will be included on the donors’ plaque to be af-fixed to the new building.

Sincerely yours,The Friends of Port Clin-

ton Parks: Robert E. Butch-er, Sharon Mefferd, Nancy O’Neal, Caroline Droll, Bob Underwood, Roseann Barker, Jim Cooper and El-len Calzonetti-Dress

Dear Editor,Together we will change

our future ... On behalf of the Port Clinton Elemen-tary Parents Club, we would truly like to congratulate the voters of Port Clinton for making the right choice for our community in sup-

Port Clinton City School District. This will indeed change the future of stu-dents now and for genera-tions to come. Our com-munity is coming together to generate jobs, income tax revenue and a positive im-pact in our local economy.

Beacon BitsBY VIRGINIA PARK

In elementary school Tessa wasn’t pretty and she wasn’t popular. She was shy. Inside, though, she really wasn’t shy at all. Inside she always knew what to say. But somehow when she opened her mouth, the wrong words always seemed to come out of it.

And she wasn’t good at games like tag or Red Rover. She could do a fair job at hide and seek because she always found great places to hide. But often Tessa didn’t win that game, either, because she was a slow runner. So the other kids usually made it

back to goal first.There was one thing that

Tessa was really good at and it made up for a lot of the unpopularity. She was a good student. She loved reading and spelling and geography and history. She did well at math, too, but only because she forced her-self to learn it, memorizing every math fact shoved in front of her. She didn’t re-ally like math. She just did it

because she had to.Her dad always told Tessa that she was

smart. He told her that he didn’t want ever to be disappointed when he saw her grades.

Her dad was rarely at home. He always had at least two jobs. Her dad was smart too but he was not educated. She knew early on that if you have to be one or the other — educated or smart — it’s a whole lot bet-ter to be smart. In fact, if life had turned out differently, her dad would have been a wealthy man. But he was always busy, work-ing hard, too hard, to have time to be the entrepreneur he could have been.

Tessa’s dad read a lot, and he remembered what he read. He was a fount of informa-tion. If Tessa was stumped with any home-work problem, her dad was her source for useful information.

In grade school, the kids teased Tessa un-mercifully. Contessa — her real name — was pudgy, and her clothes didn’t fit right. One of her nightmares was when she would have to wear a dress that was too small. Then the kids would circle her, dancing in a ring around her, sing-songing their hor-rible refrain: “short skirt, short skirt, short skirt.” She hated it, but she wouldn’t cry. She would never let them see her cry. Never.

Tessa went to work when she was very young. Mowing lawns. Picking fruit. Baby-sitting. As soon as she could, she started to buy her own clothes. But her dad made her save at least three-fourths of what she earned. He opened a savings account at the bank and told her to deposit her money there. She would need it for college.

From the time she started working, her wardrobe improved. She watched for sales and taught herself to sew, using her aunt’s old sewing machine. She found she could have three outfits for the price of one if she made them. Her math skills came in handy when it came to sewing — buying fabric, measuring, cutting the cloth just right and using as little as she needed to make a great looking, classy outfit. She was good at it. So pretty soon she was doing alterations. That became another source of income for Tessa.

High school would have been a breeze if she hadn’t had to work all the way through. Even so, it wasn’t too bad. After she got over the initial shock of being a freshman — changing classes and attending a much larger school — she started to get over her perceived shyness too. With a slimmed

down, trimmer phy-sique, clothes that fit and decent shoes that she had purchased, she started to feel more comfortable in her own skin. She definitely fit in better.

She wasn’t tongue-tied anymore. She made some friends to whom she would re-main close all her life. Between classes she laughed and talked. And she continued to study hard and get good grades. But after school and on weekends, she worked. If fel-lows asked her for a date, she declined be-cause there was the ever-constant need to get money into the bank. College loomed ahead. College would cost a lot of money.

Her dad told her he wasn’t going to be able to help her much: “You’re going to be on your own. And I know you will make it. Just keep at it. That’s my girl.”

And then she got the scholarship that made the college dream come true.

At college, she worked every day in addi-tion to classes. Sometimes she worked in the cafeteria. Sometimes in the library. Some-times at a job off-campus. She just worked.

She thought she’d be an English teacher, because English and foreign languages came easily to her. That seemed an appro-priate career choice. But when she was a sophomore Tessa realized she didn’t want to teach. All her life she’d studied and worked. She couldn’t envision spending the rest of her life in a classroom. She looked around to see what else the world had to offer. After a while, she settled on public relations. And that’s when her life really began.

She loved it. She loved the classes in mar-keting, graphics, writing and public speak-ing. She loved event-planning. Pretty soon, she interning with a big Columbus firm. And when she graduated the firm hired her.

Her dad was so proud of her. Now she had a good job doing something she loved, and she had earned an education — something, he said, that could never be taken away from her. She got a master’s degree, too, working on that with the help of the company that had hired her.

Then suddenly Tessa was 24 years old. And then she realized that she had never had a real date.

While everybody else had been out having fun, she’d worked. She now had some free time. She did work at night, a lot of nights, of course, and on weekends, because that’s

the kind of job she had. But many evenings were free. She had friends, but unlike other women of her genera-tion, those who had gone to college solely to find a guy who would marry them, Tessa had spent all her free time working. So now when it was time to date, perhaps to marry, perhaps to start a family, she didn’t have a clue as to how to begin.

She didn’t know how to flirt. She didn’t know how to catch a guy’s eye. She had turned herself off for a long time, telling herself that it didn’t matter that she couldn’t go to the dance or to the ballgame. Now that she had the opportunity to date, she didn’t know how to begin.

The years passed. She went out occasionally, but the dates never amounted to much. Sober, taciturn fel-lows seemed attracted to her. Often one date with some-one like that was enough. She never found anybody that she thought she could really love.

The dreaded age 30 was coming up fast. Then sud-denly, there it was. The BIG Three-Oh. Then she was on the wrong side of that number. Something inside her began to worry. Her career was booming. She had been offered an associ-ate partnership in the firm and had accepted. It was only a matter of time until she became a full partner. But now she worried about what life would bring. She tried hard not to think about that.

She brought in lots of business. Her accounts thrived. By then, she was traveling extensively, meet-ing clients and monitor-ing her team’s accounts. A number of men and wom-en took their direction and orders from her. Together they were a highly success-ful unit.

Yet there was something lacking in her life. Where family should have been was a hole that seemed to get larger and larger. And she was no closer to filling it than when she had been back in high school. She still spent all of her “spare time” with work.

Worse yet, Tessa now be-gan feeling as if no matter how hard she worked she would ever catch up. Yes, she loved her job. But fi-nally she came to the grim realization that this was all there was in her life and all there was likely to be.

It just wasn’t enough.

Next week, chapter two of “Tessa.”

the United Way officials see the holiday season as a time for giving.

“We’re grateful for what we’ve been given throughout the year and encourage others who feel the same way to give back to their community,” said Christine Galvin, director of United Way in Ottawa County.

Volunteers are asking residents to consider United Way your “one-stop holiday shop.”

“We would love every resident to give a meaningful gift this season,” said Donna Lueke, one of United Way’s vol-unteers. “United Way always accepts monetary gifts toward the annual campaign, and we’re also looking for gifts of time.”

December’s featured volunteer opportunities are as fol-

lows:

holding its annual Christmas Kettle Campaign to collect donations for families in need of holiday assistance. Vol-unteers will be expected to stand at the location with the kettle, ring a bell and thank/greet people as they donate.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is inviting all inter-ested and eligible entities to submit proposals, including those for basin-wide or large-scale regional projects, for the restoration of Great Lakes fish and wildlife resourc-es, to be funded under the Great Lakes Fish and Wildlife Restoration Act. Supported in part by President Obama’s Great Lakes Restoration Initiative, a total of $8 million will be available to support projects this fiscal year. This repre-sents the largest amount appropriated for this effort since the grants program began in 1998.

“The GLFWRA is the only federal statute dedicated solely for the restoration of fish and wildlife resources and their habitats in the Great Lakes,” said Midwest Regional

Director Tom Melius. “The Service is excited to provide enhanced restoration funding in 2010, made available through the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative recently passed by Congress,” said Tom Melius, regional director for the Service’s Midwest Region.

The service will accept proposals through Jan. 22 for funding consideration under the GLFWRA. States, feder-ally recognized tribal governments, Native American Trea-ty Organizations, local governments, non-governmental organizations, universities and conservation organizations within the Great Lakes basin are eligible to apply. Success-ful applicants are required to provide 25 percent in match-ing funding.

Details of the application process can be found at http://www.grants.gov or http://www.fws.gov/midwest/Fisher-ies/glfwra-grants.html

The mission of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is work-ing with others to conserve, protect and enhance fish, wild-life, plants and their habitats for the continuing benefit of the American people. We are both a leader and trusted partner in fish and wildlife conservation, known for our scientific excellence, stewardship of lands and natural re-sources, dedicated professionals and commitment to pub-lic service.

BY JOHN SCHAFFNER

It has been nearly nine months since the Port Clinton Redskins were dumped from tournament play by Margaretta 63-42. A lot of soul searching took place during the inter-vening timeframe, and last Saturday night, Coach Troy Diels’ team looked to be better for the experience.

In a roller-coaster of a game, the Redskins came from 14 behind in the first half to claim a 70-60 win over a very good Tiffin Columbian team that defeated Clyde the night before. It was the season and home opener for Port Clinton, and the home team looked a little shaky starting off. The Tornadoes jumped out to a 14-point lead early in the second period before the Redskins went on a 20-4 run to claim a two-point lead by the time the teams went into the locker rooms at halftime.

“We tried switching defenses early in the game to slow them down,” said Coach Diels on Monday, adding, “they were hitting some perimeter shots that hurt us. We then started trapping them at different areas on the court and that seemed to change the game around.” Diels said the coaching staff knew Tiffin Columbian is a fast-start-ing team. “We did not get the ball in-side early and I think that also caused us to get off to a slow start,” said Diels.

Once the adjustments were made, Diels said he thinks the increased defensive pressure turned the game around. “The defense led to some easy baskets and gave us momentum.”

The Redskins featured four players in double figures scoring-wise. Josh Francis led with 20, followed by Ryan

Hicks with 18, Cory Brown with 16 and Derek Colston with 11.

The Redskins start Sandusky Bay Conference play on the road Fri-day night at Clyde, who lost a pair of games this past weekend to Co-lumbian and Norwalk. “Both games were close,” said Diels. “They are a big group and pretty physical. Ben Dan-

hoff and Kyle Smetzler are two talent-ed players for them. They both have the ability to play inside and outside. Keeping them in check will be a big key for us.”

Saturday, the Redskins host Wood-more. The Wildcats opened their sea-son Tuesday night against Oak Har-bor.

‘Skins off to strong start

Lakers win season opener

PORT CLINTON 70 — TIFFIN COLUMBIAN 60

DANBURY 44OLD FORT 36The Danbury boys’ basketball team start-

ed its season off with a win over the Old Fort Stockaders by a score of 44-36.

The Lakers got off to a sluggish start in the first quarter, but a nice defensive play and a lay-up by Sophomore Dalton Chap-man at the halftime buzzer gave the Lakers a seven-point halftime lead (20-13). In the

second half, the Lakers were outscored in the third quarter by a 9-5 margin, but Dan-bury outscored the Stockaders 19-14 in the fourth quarter to secure the victory.

“It was nice to get a road victory to start the season,” said Head Coach Joe Miller. “I am happy for the players, but we need to learn from our mistakes and play better in

our next game.”Rodney Johnson led the Lakers with

20 points, five rebounds and two assists. Hunter Stephens scored 12 points and col-lected six rebounds, while Vincent Manu-ella had a team-high six assists.

The junior varsity team was also victori-ous, beating Old Fort by a score of 33-19.

Leading the way for the Lakers was Bran-den Burke with a team-high 10 points. Cory Schenk and Dakota Hruby chipped in with four points each and Wyatt Nelson added six assists.

Port Clinton’s Redskin bowling teams started the sea-son with strong wins over Rossford and Lexington Fri-day at Harbor Lanes.

Sophomore Ally Williams shattered the girls school re-cord for three-game series with a 572 on games of 141-230-201 as the girls rolled over Rossford 2,425-2,245. Williams broke the record of 551 set by Liz Dole in 2007. Morgan Meisler added 187-163-163 for a 513 series.

Freshman Sean Black started his career by leading the boys with a 665 series on games of 184-223-258. The varsity boys rolled to a 2,934 win over Rossford’s 2,694 and Lexington’s 2,441. Senior Jared Dunn added 228-183-235 for 645 and Zach Knecht had 196-172-238 for 606 as the ’Skins scored 1,044 the final game.

Sophomore Jonny Newton led the JV boys with a 642 series on games of 243-190-209 in the team’s win against lexington 2,429-1,742.

Coffin’sCornerBY KAREN COFFIN

Should you coach your own child in a sport? That time together can be great and create a lifetime of good memories for both of you. It can also have negative repercus-sions. Being the coach’s kid is tough. They play in a different spotlight than everyone else. For the adult, separating parental feel-ings and coaching duties is tough too.

There are some important issues to con-sider, especially if you coach beyond the initial years of your child’s athletic expe-rience. Tension can build and damage the relationship between parent and child. Hopefully, the hints that follow will help coaches avoid conflicts.

CHILDIt is impossible to be impartial about

your own child! You will be more proud of their success than anyone else is … and you’ll be more upset if they perform poor-ly. Try to step back and treat them just like you would any other kid. Most coaches err on the side of being too tough and criti-cal, which is not fair. A few are coaching to make sure their kids get preferential treat-ment, which isn’t fair either.

Ask your child how they feel about you

coaching. Is it really OK with them? You need to be upfront with each other about what to expect and get an understanding of the pressures that come with being the coach’s kid. Decide whether you should be called “Coach” rather than “Mom” or “Dad.” Make it very clear how you will in-teract and treat each other.

Just as the adult needs to separate the jobs of coach and parent, the athlete is trying to juggle two roles. Respect their bound-aries between being a player and a son or daughter. Do not ask them for reports on what’s happening with the other players or privately discuss coaching decisions with them. Keep coaching issues to yourself.

One of the biggest challenges to over-come is the universal tension between parents and teenagers. Kids are trying to become independent from their parents and that often shows up as disrespect or rebellion. If the coach’s child is exhibiting these behaviors, it may destroy team mo-rale or the coach’s reputation. It’s tough, but essential, that your child faces the same consequences as everyone else. It’s also necessary to treat all players with respect, including your child.

FAMILYIt’s hard to stop being the coach when

you get home. It is necessary, however. Family relationships are affected by coach-ing. A coach’s life during the season is very intense and time consuming, so a deter-mined effort must be made to make time for your family. Don’t bring the game home and have it monopolize all conversa-tions! Talk about the sport only if someone else brings it up.

Spouses are in a particularly difficult situation. They might feel like they are be-ing left out of your life. They end up in the middle if there is tension between coach and child. Siblings may feel ignored. Other parents think your spouse knows every-thing that’s going on and may pump them for information. They are expected to carry messages to the coach and will hear comments from fans. Sitting in the stands can be very uncomfortable. Be aware of the impact on your family.

TEAMHope your child is so good that nobody

questions their playing time, position or spot on the depth chart. If not, there will

be innuen-dos about favorit ism. If he/she is not the best, hope your family recognizes that truth; otherwise the people you care most about will be upset.

It’s tough to find a balance between be-ing too hard on your child and giving pref-erential treatment. Fans will be watching (and commenting about) how you treat each athlete.

Ask your assistants to tell you if they per-ceive any disparity. Other kids will be re-sentful if they sense the rules are different for them and may isolate your child. Allow them to be a part of the team family. Treat all the kids as if they were your own.

Coaching your child can be a wonder-fully rich experience. Don’t let anything interfere with that.

Coaching your child is a challenge

Rockets fall to CometsBY J. PATRICK EAKEN

The visiting Genoa Comets opened a 14-3 first quarter lead and went on to post a 57-42 victory over the Oak Harbor Rockets in both teams’ season opener Friday night.

In the Ohio 163 rivalry, the only Oak Harbor field goal in the first quarter came on a three-point shot by junior guard Steve Young.

The Rocket offense fared better the remaining three quarters, but there was no chance for Oak Harbor to dig out of the 11-point hole it created in the first quarter.

“It was disappointing,” said first-year coach Rob Collier. “We expected to play better.

“The kids played hard and they wanted to play well, it’s just Genoa got off to a quick start and we got down eight points pretty quickly and we just couldn’t get any shots to fall that first quarter. That made it tougher on us to have to play catch-up for four quarters. It’s not easy when you’re playing from eight, 10 down from 2 minutes into the game and on.”

Midway through the second quarter Genoa led by a 20-5 score when the Rockets went on a scoring spree to close the gap to 22-15 with 2:18 re-maining in the first half. But Genoa scored four field goals to go up 30-16 at intermission, including a three-pointer by Matt Bassitt at the buzzer.

Genoa continued to pull away, opening up a 42-23 lead with 1:49 remaining in the third quarter, then holding off the Rockets in the fourth quarter. Oak Harbor did outscore Ge-noa 18-14 over the final 8 minutes.

“I thought my kids competed well,” Collier said. “There are a lot of things

we have to correct and get better at. I like their attitude right now, I like how hard they are willing to work, it’s just a matter of ironing some things out and getting better at a few things.”

One of those improvements is foul trouble, as Genoa had 29 free throw attempts, making 17. The Rockets got to the line 11 times, making five, but two Oak Harbor players fouled out in the process — junior guard Jake Scott and junior forward D.J. Everett. Four other Rockets had at least three per-sonal fouls whistled on them.

“We didn’t do a very good job of keeping them off the free throw line tonight,” said Collier. “They shot a ton of free throws and that goes back to just being a little more disciplined, making sure we slide an extra step and getting to the right spot.”

Six-foot-6 senior center Kevin Young finished with 15 points and nine rebounds to lead Oak Harbor and Bassitt scored 18 points and 6-8 center Richard Wonnell added 13 more for Genoa.

Rounding out the scoring for Oak Harbor was senior center Kevin Lip-straw with eight points, senior guard Brandon Wasserman and Steve Young scored five points each, junior point guard Andrew Karsten had four points, junior guard Zack Priesman scored three points and Everett scored two points.

Oak Harbor had five treys, includ-ing two by Kevin Young and one each by Wasserman, Priesman and Steve Young.

Oak Harbor committed 15 turn-overs to Genoa’s 17, but the Comets out rebounded the Rockets 36 to 32.

For Genoa Coach Jeff Overmyer,

Bassitt ended the game with three three-point goals. Luke Sutter scored eight points, Jon Lester had six points, Stephen Clark five points, Matt Mur-phy and Derek Allgier three points apiece and Eric Schimming added one point. Clark had the Comets’ only other trey.

Even though Oak Harbor lost to its down the road rivals, a good crowd showed up along with media and two Internet broadcasting companies. The boys’ basketball team said in a public announcement on the school’s Web site they “would like to thank the student body for the great support you showed on Friday night.”

In the junior varsity game, Genoa defeated Oak Harbor 38-22. The Rockets were led by freshman guard Austin Weigand, who scored eight points and had five rebounds. Soph-omore center Mark Edwards added five points and 14 rebounds for Oak Harbor.

Rounding out the Rocket scoring were sophomore guard Jacob Hetrick with three points, and sophomore forward/center Philip Bryant and freshman guard Greg Haar scored two points each. The 6-0 Bryant also had six rebounds.

In the freshman game, Oak Harbor forward Mitch Hayslett converted on an old-fashioned three-point play with 12.4 seconds remaining to secure a 38-37 victory over the Comets.

The Oak Harbor boys’ basketball teams were traveling to Woodmore Tuesday, then Friday open Sandusky Bay Conference action at Perkins. On Dec. 15, Oak Harbor travels to Lake for a third non-league match-up this season.

GENOA 42 — OAK HARBOR 39

GENOA 53 — DANBURY 45

BY J. PATRICK EAKENThe Danbury girls’ basketball sea-

son opened with a 53-45 loss to Ge-noa despite 19 points from Laker K.C. Oxendale.

Genoa took a 24-17 halftime lead and held on through a fast and furi-ous third quarter that saw both teams combine for 35 points.

The Comets were led by Julie Swartzmiller’s 17 points and Jessica Feller added 15. Emily Mock scored eight points, Rachel Johnson had five points, Alyssa Meis had four points, Brandi Schimming three points, and Nicole Kraemer one point for Genoa. Swartzmiller and Schimming each had one three-point goal for Genoa.

For Danbury, Heather Bahnsen and Tori England each scored sev-en points, Kayla Oxendale had five points, Christine Longer scored four points, Brittany Isom scored two points and Devin Pollock scored one point. Oxendale and England each had one three-point goal for Dan-bury.

Danbury did out rebound Genoa 27 to 25 as Longer grabbed seven for the Lakers and Meis had eight for the Comets. But Danbury committed 33 turnovers to Genoa’s 18.

The Lakers shot 50 percent (7-of-14) from the free throw line and 33 percent from the field, while the Comets shot 68 percent (17-of-25) from the free throw line and 31 per-cent from the field.

Danbury came right back and won its next two games, defeating Tiffin Calvert 64-54 and Old Fort 40-33 to start the season 2-1.

In the win at Calvert, the Lakers had to come from behind as they trailed by a field goal, 32-30 at the half. But Danbury scored 34 second half points and held on for the 10 point victory in a physical contest.

The game was marred with a total of 52 turnovers, 30 by Calvert and 22 by Danbury. Calvert out rebounded Danbury 30 to 25 as Bowers grabbed 11 for the home team and K.C. Ox-endale had nine for the Lakers. Both teams combined for 80 trips to the charity stripe, and 37 points resulted from free throws.

For Danbury, Isom fouled out and five other Lakers had three or more personal fouls. For Calvert, two players (Cleo Bowers and Michelle Senslove) fouled out and two other players were in the game with four personal fouls.

Danbury shot 40 percent from the field and 44 percent from the free throw line, while Calvert shot 24 per-cent from the field and 49 percent from the free throw line.

For Danbury, Bahnsen scored 18 points and England had 10 points. Pollock and K.C. Oxendale each added eight more, Kayla Oxendale and Kelsey Clemons each had three points, and Brittany Isom scored two points. Longer had two 3-point goals

and Pollock and England each had one.

For Calvert, Ali Mann scored 19 points, Cleo Bowers had nine points, Brittony Peery scored eight points, and Kelsey Sikora scored seven points. Alexa Franks, Michelle Senslove, and Erin Gross each had three points — Franks’ came on Calvert’s only 3-point goal.

In the victory at Old Fort, the Lakers were led by K.C. Oxendale’s 12 points and Bahnsen’s 11 points. Christine Longer had nine points, Kayla Ox-endale had six points, England five points, and Isom three points. For Old Fort, Hailey Koebel scored 14 points.

Danbury shot 50 percent from the free throw line and 28 percent from the field, while Old Fort shot 24 per-cent from the field and 80 percent from the free throw line. Isom led Danbury with eight rebounds. Old Fort slipped to 0-4 with the loss.

In junior varsity action, Genoa de-feated Danbury 43-29 and Calvert de-feated the Lakers 28-14.

On Dec. 8, Danbury traveled for another non-league contest, this time against Sandusky St. Mary Central Catholic. The Lakers open Toledo Area Athletic Conference play Thurs-day night in a varsity-only contest at Emmanuel Christian (6 p.m.). On Tuesday, Dec. 15, both the varsity and JV get back into action with a non-league contest at Port Clinton.

BY J. PATRICK EAKENIt was just a year ago that the Genoa

girls basketball seemed untouchable — getting through much of the sea-son undefeated until running into the Lake Flyers.

This year the Comets had a target on their back, even though top playmak-er Simone Eli is now a Bowling Green Falcon. In both teams’ season opener, the Oak Harbor Rockets were almost able to take advantage of that.

Oak Harbor took a 10-8 lead on the Comets and held on to maintain that lead 20-18 at halftime in the non-league contest on Dec. 1. But the Comets came out of the halftime locker room to outscore Genoa 13-5 in the third quarter and rally for a 42-39 victory over Oak Harbor.

For Oak Harbor, Kayla Diefenthaler scored 11 points, Tory Wood scored 10 points and three other players had six points apiece — Morgan Turnow, Erica Mauder and Abby Zurvalec.

For Genoa, no player got into double figures, but seven got into the scoring column. Julie Swartzmiller, Alyssa Meis and Jessica Feller each scored eight points, Brandi Schimming added six points, Rachel Johnson and Bailee Adams scored five points

each and Emily Mock had two points. Schimming had two three-point goals for the Comets.

Both teams were fairly even in shooting percentage from the field and the charity stripe. Oak Harbor made 14-of-42 field goals and 11-of-16 free throws. Genoa made 15-of-43 field goals and 10-of-16 free throws.

Genoa out rebounded Oak Harbor, while Rockets guards had a total of seven assists. The Rockets committed 18 turnovers to Genoa’s 21.

The Rockets opened Sandusky Bay Conference action facing perennial power Perkins, coached by Ray Neal. Again, Oak Harbor was a force to be reckoned with, but not victorious.

Oak Harbor jumped to a 13-11 first quarter lead, but the Pirates rebound-ed by taking an 18-16 lead heading into intermission. Perkins outscored Oak Harbor 10-6 in the third quar-ter and the Rockets could not recover enough to get the victory.

Oak Harbor did not fare as well shooting-wise, making 10-of-40 field goals and 9-of-12 free throws. Perkins made 14-of-40 field goals, but only 8-of-13 free throws.

For the Rockets, Sara Lipstraw scored 11 points, including three

three-point goals. Diefenthaler had nine points, Zurvalec five points, Mauder had four points and Rachel Hegemeier had three points.

Oak Harbor had 29 team rebounds, including eight each by Diefenthaler and Zurvalec. The Rockets had two assists leading to baskets, and com-mitted 10 turnovers to Perkins’ 12.

For Perkins, Mallory Mullins and Jordan Fraley each scored 12 points, with Fraley scoring all of the Pirates’ 10 points on five field goals in the third quarter. Darcy Daniel had four points, four players — Amber Wolfe, Maddy Mullins, Shannon Ebert, Kris-ten Campbell — scored two points each, and Chelsea Smith added one point.

The Oak Harbor junior varsity (1-1) did get on track in its opener, defeat-ing the Genoa Comets 35-17, but lost to Perkins 33-15.

The Oak Harbor varsity (0-2 overall, 0-1 SBC) hosts the Denny Meyer-led Lake Flyers this Thursday evening in another non-league contest fitting Rocket coach Dick Heller against one of his former assistants.

Saturday Oak Harbor gets back to SBC action with a home game against rival Port Clinton at 1 p.m.

BY J. PATRICK EAKENThe Oak Harbor wrestlers started out the season on

a high note by winning their own invitational on Sat-urday.

Oak Harbor scored 279! points and was followed by Kettering Fairmont (223), Clay (190), Shelby (164), Fremont Ross (135!), Bryan (121!), Cleveland South (78!), Rossford (53), Cleveland Heights (39), and the Oak Harbor “B” team (37).

Seven Rockets were crowned champions, including Ty-ler Hackworth (119 pound class), Alex Bergman (130), Zach Bergman (135), Ian Miller (140), Jake Cramer (145), Konner Witt (160) and Mike Mallernee (171).

In their championship matches, Hackworth won by forfeit over Luke Cramer (Oak Harbor B); Alex Berg-man won by a 6-1 decision over Steven Johnson (Fre-mont Ross); Zach Bergman won 7-4 over Aaron Ford (Kettering Fairmont); Miller won by a 22-7 technical fall over Dylan Zedaker (Bryan); Cramer won by an 11-2 major decision over Dixon Johnson (Shelby); Witt won by an 18-2 technical fall over Jason Miller (Fairmont); and Mallernee won by a 14-1 major decision over Wyatt Wukie (Ross).

Three other wrestlers took runner-up honors as well. Freshman Alex Bowlick was second at 103 pounds, along with Jonny Bergman (215) and Zach Sandwisch (285). Kyle Mincheff took third place at 152.

In their championships, Bowlick was 3-1 in round rob-in matches, but finished behind Clay’s Mike Screptock, also 3-1, from a head-to-head tiebreaker; Bergman lost a 4-2 decision over Clay’s Garrett Gray; and Sandwisch was pinned by Nick Wagoner (Shelby) in 1:30. Mincheff won his third place match by a 12-6 decisiion over Cory Wiles (Bryan).

For the Oak Harbor “B” team, Cramer took second at 119 and Hunter Gresh took fourth at 130. Gresh lost his consolation final to Matt Deenlinger (Ross) by a 13-0 major decision.

Next for the Oak Harbor varsity wrestlers is the Iron Man Tournament at Walsh Jesuit High School this Fri-day and Saturday.

The Oak Harbor junior high wrestlers began the sea-son with a sixth place finish at the Genoa Middle School Invitational.

The Rockets crowned one champ in 98-pounder Tate Haar. Ben Genzman (150) and Cliff Biggert (160) fin-ished second, while Mike Osbourne (86) and Nick Berg-man (104) finished third and Andy Burnette (92) and Cobi Brough (134) were fourth. The team next traveled to Bellevue Middle School Wednesday.

The Marblehead Lighthouse Historical Society had a busy year and much was accomplished. The officers for the 2009-2010 year are Al Rowbotham, president; Bob Hartman, vice president; Jan Kimerline, secretary; and Andy Baker, treasurer.

The building fund received some great donations this year. The Li-ons Club again donated $1,000 along with some generous dona-tions from individuals. The $2 charge per person to visit the top of the Lighthouse generated a dol-lar from each person. It was also a good year in the gift shop, with Suzanne Hembly and the com-mittee keeping many nice items in stock.

Donations received this year for the museum were from Don Groff, Dan Moulton, Elmer Grahl, Terry and Brenda Weidner, Bruce and Martha Bridgeman, Brian Shrock, Eva Haeberle and Kim Wolfe. This spring the “Lucien Clem-ons Medal” was put on display in a special case made by Dennis Kennedy. A picture of Lucien with the medal, and also a picture of Don Clemons, great-great nephew of Lu-cien, adds interest to the display. The resemblance of these two men is amazing.

The “Memorial Brick Circle” was put in place this sum-mer, with time and labor being donated by Dick Frederick, Ron Kochensparger, Herb Roder and Andy Baker. Approx-imately 160 bricks are now in place and many compli-ments have been received on this impressive project.

The volunteers did a great job this year, selling tickets out-side by the Lighthouse, in the gift shop and being Museum Docents. They were: Nancy Adams, Nell Adcock, Andy and Kay Baker, Mikki Bauer, Martha Camdon, Jeanne Cook, Peter Corrado, Don Doell, Harold and Dottie Dou-glass, Lois Franklin, Rebecca Gonda, Lorrie Grentzer, Joan Harris, Bob and Mary Hartman, Suzanne Hembley, Nelf and Jan Kimerline, Ron Kochensparger, Beth Peticos, Lin-da Price, Sherwin Ritchie, John and Helen Rofkar, Al and Doris Rowbotham, Kathy Schneider, Esther Schnellinger, Ron and Helen Uebbing and Dick Washburn. Beth Peticos is the Docent Coordinator.

Many retired Coast Guard had reunions and visited the Lighthouse/Museum this year. The “Coasties” also enjoyed Lions Perch Festival and touring the area that has changed so much since they were stationed here.

Fundraisers went well despite heavy rainfalls and wind. If anyone has any nature or nautical craft items they can donate for next year, please save them for us. We will also have our chicken barbeque on the second Saturday in Au-gust.

With many thanks to The Ottawa County Community Foundation Inc. for the $1,500 Grant and other donors, our Life Saving Boat has been moved and work has begun on the restoration. Ned Boytim will be doing the work on this project.

The Lighthouse and Museum were trimmed for the Christmas season on Saturday, Nov. 21. Twelve MLHS members and volunteer students from Danbury High School — Caitlynn Biro, Kelcie McGhee, Meggie Ogles-

bee, Becka and Nate Hartman — did a great job of deco-rating the Lighthouse and fence.

We want to thank all of our members and our busi-ness members for their continued interest in helping the MLHS. We appreciate all of your support.

Lastly, we are sad to report the deaths of Barbara Lane, Kathleen Mutach, Betty Neidecker and Jim Wolfe, all of these members supported us financially as well as with items for the museum.

Hello again. This year seemed to fly by … or I’m just get-ting older and forgot half of it! I would like to take this op-portunity to remind everyone that the village has regular zoning hours now. You can stop in to the Village Hall or call 9 a.m. to noon Monday through Thursday and noon to 3 p.m. Fridays. The zoning office is in the Village Hall above the police station and the number is 419-798-4074. We did this so that you can more easily contact me and get answers to your zoning questions. You can walk out with your zoning permit usually within 10 or 15 minutes. Based on the use you all have made of the office, you like the ser-vice. We average about 15 calls or visits a week. When you get the chance, tell Mayor Bird and the Council that you appreciate this service. For those who do not already know, the owner of the property is not necessarily the one that has to come in to get a zoning permit. You can have your builder, architect, engineer or some other designee of your choice come in and get the permit for you. If you have any questions for me, just call the Village Hall or e-mail me directly at [email protected].

This year it seems more people are remodeling rather than building new. But remember that most any of the work you do, still needs a permit. The zoning ordinance reads that anything placed on or in the ground needs a permit. Some exemptions are a patio or driveway for your house, which can usually be placed right up to the property line without a permit needed. Just call me and we can de-termine if you need a permit or not. Most garages, sheds and decks are charged only the minimum of $25. That is a lot cheaper to do right up front than having to move the structure later because it violates zoning or building codes. The worst phrase I hear goes something like this, from the builder to the homeowner, “Oh, don’t worry, you don’t need a permit for that.” Remember that it is you, not the builder who ends up paying double, to fix something later, rather than to have spent the extra few dollars first for a permit, which would have let you know where you could build. It is fun when people walk out of the office thinking, “That was easy.” It is much more fun for me to be Santa than Ebenezer!

Merry Christmas. I hope the new year is bountiful and full of joy for you.

of economic uncertainty, the last thing you want is to take on a new debt load. Every-one in your life who is important enough to receive a gift from you will understand if you don’t splurge on presents you can’t afford.

And winter can be pretty gloomy when you’re trying to pay off big credit card bills

from the past holiday season.

Establish a gift fund. For next year’s gift-giving season, you may want to open a special “gift fund.” Of course, it’s not easy for any of us to find “extra” money after we’re done paying our bills, so the best way to set up your gift fund may be to have the money moved automatically each month from your checking or sav-ings account to another liquid account — one that you wouldn’t normally touch for your day-to-day expenses. Even if you can only afford to put in a small amount each month, you might be surprised at how much you’ll accumulate in a year.

Don’t touch long-term investments to pay for gifts. Some people tap into their

long-term investments to pay for holiday gifts, telling themselves they’ll re-fund the investment when they “get caught up” — but that rarely happens. In fact, once you cash out part of an investment to pay for a gift or an everyday expense, you’ll set yourself back in your pursuit of your fi-nancial objectives — so do whatever you can to help preserve those investments. Apart from setting up a gift fund, you’ll also want to make sure you have a reason-able amount of “cash” and cash equivalents in your investment portfolio.

Protect yourself from identity theft. Victims of identity theft can testify that it’s an enormous — and possibly expensive — hassle. Unfortunately, identity theft seems to go up during the holiday season, so take steps to protect yourself. When you go out shopping, just take one debit or credit card with you — and look around when-ever you use it. Identity thieves have been

known to copy down credit card numbers and even photograph credit cards with cell phones. Also, if you’re shopping online, make sure you’re on a secure Web site. One way to check for a secure site is to look for “https” in the Web address, along with the icon of the locked padlock on your brows-er’s status bar.

Shop early for bargains. As you prob-ably know, some of the best bargains come during stores’ “after-holiday” sales. By tak-ing advantage of these sales, you can stock up on gifts for the next holiday season.

By following these suggestions, you may be able to remove a lot of the financial stress that often accompanies the holidays — and that, by itself, can help you enjoy the season even more.

Smart financial moves can help brighten holiday season

NOMS chief honored

Two join team at Stein Hospice

Terra dean elected VP of math organization

Bradley P. Smith, chief executive officer of NOMS Healthcare, was recognized with a service award by the American College of Healthcare Executives and the Healthcare Ex-ecutive Association of Northeast Ohio at the annual meeting Nov. 12. The award was presented to Smith to acknowledge com-mitment to the healthcare management profession through the performance of activities and services that further profes-sional excellence. He was one of four indi-viduals in the chapter of nearly 500 mem-bers to receive this award for 2009. Smith was also recognized for having successfully recertified as a Fellow in the American Col-lege of Healthcare Executives. Smith was also notified recently that he had success-fully achieved recertification as a Fellow in the Healthcare Financial Management Association and for recertifying as a Board Certified member of American College of Medical Practice Executives.

FREMONT — Dr. Nancy Sattler, Dean of Liberal Arts and Public Services at Terra Community College, was elected Midwest Vice President of the American Mathematical Association of Two-Year Colleges. Sattler took office at the close of the 35th annual Conference in Las Vegas, Nev., which had more than 1,400 faculty, administrators and educational profes-sionals in attendance. Sattler has been very active in the organization serving as

the inaugural chair-woman of the Distance Learning Commit-tee and most recently completed a four-year term as treasurer.
