I forgot to mention this last week, but last Thursday, Feb. 17, was officially The Beacon’s 28th birthday! As you can see this week’s issue is Volume 29, Num-ber 2. We have a staff full of folks who are justifiably proud of the work they do and all that they have accomplished over those 28 years. From my standpoint, the last 28 years have rolled by like a steamroller. My thanks to all of you, our loyal Beacon readers.

Port Clinton City School Dis-trict’s deadline for bids on the renovation and addition project at Bataan Memorial Elementary School was Wednesday, Feb. 16. There were a total of 52 bidders on 12 contracts. The large num-ber of bids created a competitive atmosphere resulting in some good news for the school district and community.

“The bids came in lower than we anticipated, approximately 10 percent below our bid estimate which is good news,” said Pat Ad-kins, superintendent of schools.

The bids are now being re-viewed by both legal council and architects.

“Interviews with the low bid-ders will be held before the bids are awarded on Feb. 28,” Adkins said.

The 12 areas for bid packages accepted for Bataan were for site, general trades, roofing, plumb-ing, HVAC/temperature con-

trols, electrical, fire protection, casework, athletic flooring, food service equipment and educa-tional technology. Since as much local participation as possible is the goal of the district, the Board of Education has defined “local contractors” as those from Otta-wa, Erie and Sandusky counties. In the bid documents, the Board of Education set a standard that any prime bidder outside of those three counties may bid on the project but needs to ensure that 5 percent of the total contract is in local labor, sub-contractors and supplies. As a government entity, the district must accept the low-est, most responsible bid for each bid package.

In November 2009, voters in the Port Clinton City School District passed a bond issue to: build a new middle school on the high school site campus; remodel

The Ottawa County Historical Museum will host “A Celebration of Rev. Harold Boggs and His Music” at 2 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 26, in honor of Black History month. The event will take place at 2 p.m. in the museum at 126 W. Third St., Port Clinton.

Boggs, of Port Clinton, was a well-known gospel composer and singer who made his first public appearance as a stand-up gospel singer in the Second Bap-tist Church in Sandusky in 1938 at age 11. Boggs suffered from an irreversible form of glaucoma and by age 13 was completely blind. His mother Rosa realized that her son had a very special talent and ensured he received special musical tutoring, includ-ing piano lessons with Connie Babcock of Port Clinton. Over the years, Boggs traveled exten-sively to perform with his good friend Warner Buxton or with a busload of singers from his home

church, the Gypsum Tabernacle, of which he became the pastor after his ordination in 1972.

The piano on which Boggs composed his music was donat-ed to the museum by his niece, Rosann Graves, of Port Clinton, and will be on display along with photographs and album covers. Those attending the program are invited to bring along any per-sonal items or photos and stories related to Boggs. The program will include storytelling about the singer, recordings of his mu-sic and a keyboardist playing gos-pel music. Other musicians and singers, whether or not they knew Boggs, are invited to join in the celebration. After the celebra-tion, Boggs’ piano will become the centerpiece of a permanent museum exhibit on the churches of Ottawa County.

For information, call museum curator Peggy Debien at 419-732-1039.

We welcome Jim Recker back to our family, and to the Port Clinton community. He became a licensed funeral

director and embalmer in 1998 and has gained valuable work experience over the years at other funeral homes. However, Jim

recently returned to Port Clinton to re-join the Walker family because of their strong commitment to quality and service.

He and his wife, Lisa (Ling), an Ottawa County native and licensed funeral director herself, are both committed

to the value of funeral service. They have two children Madeline and Michael, and are members of the

Immaculate Conception Catholic Church.

James CoolJune 18, 1933 — Feb. 14, 2011

James J. Cool passed away on Monday, February 14, 2011, at Hospice of the Val-ley following a long bout with cancer. He was born in Tiffin, Ohio on June 18, 1933, to Gladys Agatha (Myers) and Lawrence Henry Cool. He was preceded in death by his parents and one brother, John Henry Cool.

Jim is survived by his wife of 58 years, Dolores (Dee) Cool and seven children - Michael J. Cool (Sharon), Mary Javor

(Greg), Donald Cool (Christie), Janet Corliss (Ken), Thomas J Cool, Jacqueline Brickner (Frank), and Charles Cool (Judy).

Also surviving are thirteen grand-chil-dren, Andrea Javor, Daniel Javor, Eric Ja-vor, Lisa Maag, Amanda Cool, Maria Cool, Bradley Cool, Bailey Cool, Megan Cool, Samantha Cool, Joseph Brickner, Kather-ine Brickner, and Luke Brickner.

Three sisters also survive: Patricia Greene of Grand Rapids, Michigan, Janet Naviga-to of Solano Beach, California and Sister Mary Marguerite of Grand Rapids, Michi-gan.

Jim served honorably with the Michigan National Guard and was a lifetime member of the Knights of Columbus Council #608 in Tiffin, Ohio. He and his family resided in Republic, Ohio for 40 years. Jim was an elected official on the Town Council in conjunction with Mayor Pro-Tem respon-sibilities and was a member of St. Aloysius Catholic Church; the Holy Name Society; and the Parish Council. Jim devoted his time to several community service organi-zations including the Republic Lions Club and the Tiffin and Wickenburg BPOE.

As an avid fan of The Ohio State Univer-sity Buckeyes, Jim was pleasantly surprised to receive an autographed Get Well pho-tograph recently from Head Coach Jim Tressel.

His lifetime career began in the home furnishing industry, when later he and his wife purchased the Pancoast Furniture Co. Inc. Living at Lake Erie, his hobbies entailed fishing or restoring antique auto-mobiles. After retiring to Arizona, he spent many hours at the Wickenburg Country Club and also in his home woodshop.

A Mass in celebration of Jim’s life will be celebrated at St. Anthony of Padua Catho-lic Church on Friday, February 25, 2011 at 10am. Online condolences can be submit-ted to DavidsDesertChapelFuneralHome.com.

In lieu of flowers Jim’s family asks that donations be considered to any of the following organizations in his name: St. Anthony’s Church, Tegner Street, Wicken-burg, AZ 85390; Calvert Catholic Schools Educational Foundation, P.O. Box 45, Tif-fin, OH 44883 (or online to nwarnement@

calvertcatholic.org); or to Hospice of the Valley, 1570 E. Flower St, Phoenix, AZ 85014 (or by phone at 602-530-6900).

There will be a Mass celebrating Jim’s life for his family and friends in Ohio at a later date.

Obituaries

Recovery 2011Winter weather has blanketed much of

the nation over the past several weeks, and the storms are taking a toll on all of us. Perhaps even more important is the im-pact this weather has had on our nation’s blood supply.

You may not realize it, but every 2 sec-onds, someone in the United States needs a blood transfusion. The American Red Cross was forced to cancel more than 750 blood drives in January alone, resulting in a shortfall of more than 28,000 scheduled blood donations.

To help build the blood supply back up to sufficient levels, the Red Cross has in-troduced “Recovery 2011.” This campaign is designed to reach out to eligible donors to ask them to make and keep blood dona-

tion appointments as soon as they are able to do so. It also aims to encourage orga-nizations to step up and reschedule a can-celed blood drive, agree to host an emer-gency blood drive or increase their existing blood drive goal by 10 percent.

The Red Cross is grateful to those who responded to our appeal for blood dona-tions, yet the need is still great. Now is a great time to join the “Recovery 2011” ini-tiative and help meet the needs of patients in our local community. Please call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767) or visit redcrossblood.org to find out more about this program or to make an appointment to donate at a blood drive near you.

and expand Bataan into a preschool through grade five building (maintaining the current physical separation between primary grades and grades three through five); and provide minimal upgrades to the high school with a focus on increased ef-ficiency and long-term cost savings. After more than a year of planning and design, the Bataan portion of the facilities project is ready for construction to begin on or about March 1.

“The planning process for the addi-tion and renovation to Bataan Memorial Elementary Campus has been a lengthy process and we are very pleased with the results,” Adkins said. “As shown in the ren-derings, the addition will compliment the existing building while providing an up-

dated façade.”Port Clinton Middle School will follow

with another bid process beginning next month. A bid meeting will be held March 15 with bids due April 27.

Do you want to see more wildlife on your property? One effective way to attract and keep wildlife on your land is to plant and maintain wildlife food plots. Food plots are great, because they improve hunting and viewing by helping attract Deer, Ducks, Turkey, and Pheasants but more importantly, they provide critical habitats for many species of wildlife. Attracting wildlife to your back forty requires that you think beyond traditional landscap-ing techniques, which may not meet

the needs of wildlife. Wildlife have four basic requirements for survival: food, water, shelter and space. If you can develop a landscape plan that provides these elements, you stand a good chance of successfully seeing more wildlife on your property.

Establishing and maintaining wild-life food plots, however, can be ex-pensive and requires some knowledge of planting and how to properly use farm equipment. The Ottawa County Soil and Water Conservation District

realizes this hurdle and is proud to offer wildlife food plot planting for the 2011 season. You can start farm-ing for wildlife for a minimal amount of fifty dollars per acre. The District will plant wildlife food plots consist-ing of a choice of Corn, Beans, Sor-ghum, Sunflowers, Buckwheat and Millet. Interested landowners in Ot-tawa County can call Joe Uhinck or Mike Libben at the Soil and Water District 419-898-1595 or visit www.ottawaswcd.com

Representatives from the U.S. De-partment of Homeland Security’s Federal Emergency Management Agency, in conjunction with the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, will host a flood risk information open house from 4 to 7 p.m. Monday, Feb. 28, in the Multipurpose Room at the Riverview Health Care Campus, 8180 W. Ohio 163, Oak Harbor. The open house will provide county resi-dents with an opportunity to review a recently completed preliminary Flood Insurance Study and its ac-companying preliminary Flood In-surance Rate Maps. Those interested may drop-in at any time during the event to talk one-on-one with the FEMA and state representatives.

The FIS and the FIRMs provide base flood information, delineate areas subject to significant flood hazards within the county, and offer infor-mation public officials may use when permitting development in the flood-plain. The preliminary floodplain maps are available for review from 9 a.m. to noon and 1 to 4 p.m. week-days at the Ottawa Regional Planning Commission, 315 Madison St., Room 107, Port Clinton.

The open house will be staffed with representatives from various local, state and federal agencies who will provide the most current informa-tion about flood risk, flood insur-ance, floodplain development regula-tions and the process for floodplain

mapping within Ottawa County. The newly prepared preliminary flood-plain maps will be on display. Once the maps become effective, these maps will be used by floodplain per-mit officials, builders and developers, lenders, realtors, insurance agents and the general public to determine flood risk, develop mitigation measures and encourage wise and responsible risk management decision-making.

Property owners, realtors, lenders and insurance agents are urged to at-tend and take advantage of this op-portunity to learn more about flood risk and hazard mitigation within their community. For information, contact Mike Greene, Stantec Con-sulting Services, Inc. at 859-422-3079.

Mayor Fred Conley called the regular meeting of Council to order at 7 p.m. with the Pledge of Allegiance. Roll call was re-quested with the following members pres-ent: Don Douglas, Bill Eberle, Jon Fickert, Angela Petersen, Donna Wendt-Elliott and Tim Wilkins.

Minutes of the Jan. 18 meeting stand ap-proved as written.

Privileges of the Floor• SolarVision LLC — Mike Dickman and

Marty Magill presented the SolarVision proposal to erect a solar power generation system for the village. The village would enter into a Solar Power Purchase Agree-ment with SolarVision to purchase all the electricity generated by the project. The village would have no upfront capital in-vestment. SolarVision would install, own, operate and maintain the system for the life of the agreement. SolarVision would connect to the local distribution system at

no cost to the village. The proposed system would be 2 megawatts and would require about 12 acres. They have looked at the property referred to as “cabbage patch” on North Benton Street and it would be suit-able for the project. SolarVision would pay the village a licensing fee of $400,000 up-front in a lump sum. The SPPA is a 20-year agreement. The first 10 years would have a fixed rate of $ .075 per kWh. After the first 10 years, the system can be purchased at fair market value or the rate will be reset to 85 percent of the village’s average total kWh price paid to all other sources dur-ing the 10th operational year or $.085 per kWh whichever is greater. After the 20th year, the village may purchase the system or continue to buy all the power at 70 per-cent of the then-current average rate or have the system removed. Wilkins asked how this would fit into the village’s port-folio and Village Administrator Robert Pauley replied that he has asked Courtney

to look at the proposal but it should be a good fit. He has asked Courtney to be at the next Utility Committee meeting. Fickert asked how long the company had been in business and the answer was since 2008. Wilkins asked how this would fit into the village’s proposed use of the property and Pauley answered that is one of the questions that Council needs to answer. Wilkins asked that this be on the Feb. 22 meeting for discussion under the Util-ity Committee.

• Poggemeyer Design Group — Tom Stalter re-ported the agreement for the CSO lagoon repairs should be finalized in the next couple of weeks. They want to be ready to start the repairs when the weather is good.

Stalter also talked about the application they re-cently submitted on behalf of the village for funding the Ohio 163 waterline

replacement. At the time the application was submitted, the requirements were not known and the village was ranked 107, which was outside the funding level. The requirements they put on the projects were difficult to meet and projects fell out of the funding level until they got to Oak Harbor. PDG was excited until they found you had to be ready to go out for bid in April. It was for a 20 percent principal for-giveness loan. The EPA is now offering a 2 percent, five-year planning loan to pay for design with repayment deferred for five years. The thought is to get the planning loan, get the permit and have the project engineered to be ready to reapply next year for the construction loan. There are two big problems in the town. One is the Ohio 163 water line, which is a constant maintenance nightmare, and the other is the elevated tanks. Stalter presented the engineer’s estimates. The 163 water line is estimated at $4.2M, of which $243,900 is design costs. The thought is to submit two projects next year with the second be-ing the elevated water tank. The estimate on that project is $2.069M with $74,325 in design costs. The village can also apply for a disadvantaged community program. If the criteria are met there is principal for-giveness of up to 50 percent and interest rates from zero percent to 2 percent. PDG recommends submission of both projects next year by the March 15, 2012, deadline. They also recommend submission for the planning loan by March 15 of this year so plan design can start after that. Pauley said the total design cost for both projects is about $350,000 which can be rolled into the construction loan. Stalter will continue to work on the planning loan application in anticipation that the village will want to move forward. Wilkins said the village needs to see how this will impact the rates. He asked that this also be on the next agen-da for the Utility Committee. Pauley said council will need to take action no later than the March 7 meeting.

Mayor’s Report — Conley read two pieces of correspondence from Time War-ner Cable. The first was on agreements that are about to expire and the second was on interactive technology and how it will affect current users. TMACOG is sponsor-

ing a workshop on Financial Management of Water and Sewer Utilities for Local Offi-cials on Feb. 18 at Owens Community Col-lege. He passed on compliments to Gen-zman that he has received on the great job being done on the snow removal.

Police Report — Chief Steven Weirich was excused.

Fiscal Officer’s Report — Jenny Busche reported the January financial statements had been distributed.

Income Tax Administrator’s Report — No report.

Village Administrator’s Report — Pau-ley attended the TMACOG General As-sembly which focused on Economic Devel-opment Strategies. He reminded council of the TMACOG Leadership Orientation & Update and open house on February 10th for all elected officials. FEMA has scheduled the Preliminary Flood Insur-ance Study open house on Feb. 28 from 2 to 3:30 p.m. for elected officials and from 4 to 7 p.m. for the general public. Coun-cil was provided a copy of the Efficiency Smart flyer that will be included in the March utility bills. Mr. Pauley responded to a Section 106 review being done by EcoSmart Analytics for SUREnergy as part of the funding application for the potential wind turbine at Oak Harbor High School.

Solicitor’s Report — Solicitor James Barney had no report.

Business of the MeetingFirst Reading of Ordinances and Resolu-

tions:• Resolution No. 02-2011, a resolution

declaring intent to sell personal property, including motor vehicles acquired for the use of municipal officers, and depart-ments, and road machinery, equipment, tools, or supplies not needed for public use, or is obsolete or unfit for the use for which it was acquired by internet auction was read for the first time.

OUR THERAPYYour Independence

The following article contains partial excerpts from a book entitled “Generations, Planning Your Legacy” Jeffrey P. Roth is a contributing author.

• If I can’t make decisions for myself, who can?Periods of physical or mental disability are times that

none of us like to think about. Yet those times are the very ones which need the most advance planning.

People who are married oftentimes believe their spouse is automatically authorized to act for them legally if they cannot act for themselves. This is not true. In fact, if the person who is disabled has not drafted a legal directive (power of attorney) giving someone power to act for them during disability, then no one is automatically authorized.

• If I haven’t created powers of attorney and I become disabled and cannot act on my own behalf, what hap-pens?

If you have not created powers of attorney designating persons to act on your behalf legally during your disabil-ity, it becomes necessary for someone (usually a relative,

but applicants by law do not have to be relatives) to apply for a Probate Guardianship over your person, estate, or both, dependent upon the nature of your disability. The rules of Guardianship are saved for another ar-ticle suffice it to say that if you do not actively plan to determine who will assist you with your business de-cisions and personal every-day decisions, the court will. Any person who is compe-tent may, during lifetime, execute powers of attorney. These powers of attorney may be for the conduct of business, the power to transfer or encumber real estate and/or medical pow-ers of attorney granting the person designated as the power of attorney, the authority to make medical decisions for the disabled person.

• How do I make a power of attorney?

Powers of attorney are usually drafted for you by your attorney. The pow-ers you grant may be very narrow (for example: giv-ing someone the power to cash an individual check for you), or extremely broad (giving someone the authority to manage your business for you and make all the decisions you would ordinarily do). Powers of attorney need to be in writ-ing, signed and acknowl-edged by a notary or other qualifying authority. There is now no actual require-ment for two witnesses but it would still remain a good practice. Some states like Florida will not accept a Power of Attorney without two witnesses. Powers of at-torney may be for a specific period of time or for an in-

definite period of time in the future. Powers of attorney end when the person giving the power dies. Powers of at-torney become operative under the terms that are defined in the power of attorney document upon delivery of the power of attorney to the person designated to receive it from the person granting the power. Powers of attorney may be revoked (taken back) by the person granting them. However, if a person has delivered a power of attorney to someone and later decides to revoke the power, it is a good idea to seek legal counsel for assistance in this process. In some cases your revocation of the power of attorney must be recorded at the county courthouse to ensure that the person holding the revoked power no longer has authority to act for you.

• What is durable power of attorney?Under the law as it existed several years ago, any power

of attorney a person gave was deemed to be terminated if the person who gave the power later became incompetent. The legislature enacted a law (O.R.C. 1337.09) which, if followed, allows this problem to be cured by proper draft-ing of the power of attorney instrument. In most pow-ers of attorney created today the document on its face recites, “This power of attorney shall not be affected by the subsequent disability of the person granting the power and shall survive any disability and shall remain in full force and effect” or words of similar importance. This language means that even though the person granting the power later becomes incompetent, the power granted is DURABLE and survives the later incompetency of the person granting the power. Accordingly a durable power of attorney may be a business power of attorney, a health care power of attorney or any type of power of attorney. The durable nature of the power has nothing to do with the type of power of attorney being granted, but rather relates to the term of time for which any type of power of attorney is granted.

• What are the risks and benefits associated with creat-ing a durable power of attorney?

The risk of granting a durable power of attorney is that the person you name as power holder may either be dis-honest or have bad judgment. If the power holder is dis-honest, he or she could use the power to gain control of your estate and then abscond with or misuse the assets. If the power holder has bad judgment, he or she could mis-manage your assets or make poor decisions. The impor-tant point here is that a general power of attorney is only as good as the agent holding the power. Be sure to name honest and responsible people or financial institutions as your power holder.

Now for the benefitsIn terms of being prepared (and that is what estate plan-

ning is all about), it is good to have someone who can transact your financial matters for you if you are unable to do so for any reason. Professional advisors may differ on whether it is better to have a general durable power of attorney, which would allow someone to transact any business activity for you, or better to have a special du-rable power of attorney, which would allow someone to transact only specific business matters for you or would be effective only under certain circumstances, such as your disability. Consequently, you should discuss powers of attorney with your attorney or advisor so that you can decide which type is best for you.

• When should I sign a durable power of attorney?You should sign a durable power when you are healthy,

competent, and able to make your own decisions. This will alleviate much of the difficulty that could arise if you should become incapable of making these decisions.

• Must third parties honor powers of attorney?There is very little that an individual can do to force a

third party to accept a power of attorney. Their policy will dictate. Many banks will require that you fill out their forms to authorize your agent to write checks on your ac-count. Of course, the agent should always sign a signature card at the bank to verify his or her signature. In addition, the IRS generally will not honor a power of attorney but rather have their own forms. The Social Security Admin-istration recognizes only an individual who is appointed through the representative-payee designation process.

• If a person gives a general broad durable power of at-torney, can they make lifetime gifts of their assets after they become incapacitated?

IRS private letter rulings, federal case law, and the com-mon law of most states indicate that if the giver of the power wants the agent to make gifts, the power of attorney must clearly spell out that authority. Powers of attorney that do not specify this authority are routinely challenged by the IRS, and any gifts made under such circumstances have been included in the deceased power giver’s estate for state and federal estate tax purposes.

A power of attorney is an absolute necessity to a good estate plan, but one needs to take special precaution as to the document’s content and the person selected to assist in the handling of your affairs.

A clarification of the July article needs to be made. Gen-erally, a transfer to an irrevocable trust of an asset will have a sixty month rather than a thirty-six month look back period. As stated, an irrevocable trust can be a good tool, but a long term plan and a special reason are nor-mally in place to support the use of this type of trust.

The community is invited to come to a Coffee and Learn event at 11:30 a.m. Friday, Feb. 25, at Coffee Express, 128 W. Second St. There will be no charge for this talk. Feel free to bring a bag lunch — Coffee Express will provide the muffins.

We’ve heard it over and over again from reliable sources such as the American Cancer Society, the American Heart Association and the American Dietetic Association: “Our quality of life is deteriorating rapidly.” We are now begin-ning to fully understand the powerful relationship between lifestyle choices and health. Most of us are overweight, over-tired, over-medicated and under-nourished. Dis-cover how to build a better quality of life, feel better every-day and enhance your immune system through lifestyle changes that will make a difference in your health.

Information discussed will be how simple changes in your diet and lifestyle can have a dramatic effect on your weigh, energy level and state of well being. Learn the latest medical research on Alzheimer’s, osteoarthritis and can-cer. Find out how to slow the aging process and how you might be sabotaging your weight loss or wellness efforts unknowingly. We will discuss the autoimmune disorders and healing for chronic fatigue, rheumatoid arthritis, dia-betes and fibromyalgia.

Honey Odom Kirila, registered dietitian and nutrition-ist, has been in the health and nutrition field for more than 30 years.

Honey often presents talks to groups on the powerful relationship between lifestyle choices and the health ben-efit that food, exercise, stress reduction practices and wa-ter consumption can provide to achieve a quality of life. Recent medical studies have shown that boosting your immune system is the way to enhance the body’s ability to fight off all infections. The best way to enhance your im-mune system is to eat a diet rich in fresh fruits, vegetables and whole grains, seeds and nuts.

Space is limited. Call 419-707-3460 to make a reserva-tion.

Zumba Fitness is a Latin-inspired dance-fitness program that blends international music and contagious steps to form a “fitness-party.”

Since its inception in 2001, Zumba Fitness has grown to become the world’s largest and most successful dance-fitness program with more than 10 million people of all shapes, sizes and ages taking weekly Zumba classes in more than 90,000 locations across more than 110 coun-tries.

The purpose of the Zumbathon event is to help raise awareness of Zumba in the community, as well as to raise funds. It’s not just for those who have experience. An In-structor will show techniques on how to do lower-impact Zumba. This is a good way to learn about Zumba Fitness.

Danbury ran into the league-leading Ottawa Hills Green Bears, and the Lakers fell 65-24 on their home court.

For Danbury, Kelsey Clemons scored 10 points, Kayla Oxendale

and Tori England each scored four points, Lilly Kennedy and Alyssa Almendinger each had two points, and Erin Lavella and Ka-tie Almendinger each added one point. The Lakers were 4-of-12

from the free throw line.Danbury opened Division IV

sectional play against St. Mary Central Catholic on Tuesday at Norwalk High School.

By JOHN SCHAFFNERPublisher

“It is certainly nice to have ev-erybody back.”

Those were the words of Port Clinton boys’ basketball coach Troy Diels after his team split a pair of games over the weekend, losing on Friday night to Huron on a buzzer-beater and win-ning on Saturday night at home against Fostoria. Josh Graves, Robert Fravel and Jason Faust are all back from injury and suddenly Port Clinton is a dif-ferent team.

“Every second of practice be-comes precious,” Diels said. “Each possession these kids are able to spend on the floor to-gether helps to bring them to-gether. We do not have a lot of time to get acquainted with each other at this point in the season, so we must gel quickly.”

The loss on Friday was tough to take, since the Redskins led early in the fourth quarter by 6.

“We simply turned the ball over too many times. If you turn the ball over 26 times, you are not going to win too many games. Despite those mistakes we still had a chance to win the game,” Diels said.

PC came back on Saturday to win against Fostoria.

“I was very proud of the guys and the way they responded on Saturday night. Losing at the buzzer on Friday night was very tough and to top it off, we were down by double digits in the first quarter against Fostoria, but the kids fought back and found a way to win the game. I was extremely pleased with the way they showed some charac-ter and fought back on Saturday

night.”For the second time, Port Clin-

ton’s game at Tiffin Columbian Monday night was canceled by winter weather. It will not be re-scheduled.

So, the final regular season game on Friday will be at home against Clyde, the same team the Redskins drew for their first game in the Sectional tourna-ment. Seniors Fravel, Andrew Carden, Derek Colston and Graves will be honored before the game.

“They are all great kids and have dedicated a lot of time and energy to our program,” Diels said. “We will certainly miss the 2011 seniors and all that they have brought to the Port Clin-ton community and our basket-ball program.”

Clyde is 11-8 on the season while the Redskins stand at 5-13.

“They have shot the ball pretty well recently,” Diels said about the team his staff must prepare for twice in a row. “It will be a little different playing the same team twice in five days, but we are looking forward to it. This time of year is what every bas-ketball player, coach and fan looks forward to.”

With three veteran players just back from injury, the hope is that this could truly be a “sec-ond season” for Diels and his team.

“Our kids are anxious to put the regular season behind them and make some noise in the tournament. Based on last year’s experience, they understand what can happen if you are able to play quality consistent bas-ketball at the end of the year,” Diels said.

Sectional play Saturday for Lady Lakers

Redskins are back

BY J. PATRICK EAKENSenior guard Andrew

Karsten scored 10 points in overtime to lead Oak Har-bor to a 49-45 basketball win over visiting Danbury.

Oak Harbor improved to 3-16;Danbury fell to 4-14.

The Lakers led 24-23 go-ing into the final quarter, and the two teams were deadlocked at 35-all at the end of regulation.

In overtime, Karsten hit four field goals and made two free throws, and as a team, the Rockets made 5-of-8 free throws in the extra period. Karsten fin-ished the game with 16 points and Jake Scott add-ed 10 for the Rockets. For Danbury, center Hunter Stephens scored 14 points.

In a Sandusky Bay Con-ference match-up, Oak Harbor fell to Sandusky St. Mary Central Catholic 33-32.

The Rockets have one game remaining to close the SBC season Friday at Perkins. Perkins is 16-3, 10-3 in the SBC, with losses only to Edison 65-60 and 47-44 and Margaretta last week, 48-46. Perkins de-feated Oak Harbor in their first meeting 54-46.

The Oak Harbor boys’ team opens D-II sectional play against Rossford (3-16) March 1 at Oregon Clay’s Harold Potter Field House, tipoff at 8 p.m. The winner plays Toledo Scott (8-10) on March 4 at 8 p.m. at Potter Field House and advances to district play at Bowling Green State Uni-versity’s Anderson Arena on Mar. 9.

In Toledo Area Athletic Conference action, Dan-bury lost to Maumee Valley Country Day 44-31 on the Hawks’ Court.

On Friday, the Lakers fin-ish the regular season with a final TAAC match-up at Ottawa Hills (17-2, 10-1).

Danbury opens the Divi-sion IV sectionals against Sandusky St. Mary Central Catholic (6-12) at 8 p.m. on March 2 at Port Clinton High School. The winner goes against Fremont St. Joseph Central Catholic (9-9) on Mar. 4 at 8 p.m., and that winner advances to the Gibsonburg district on March 8.

The Oak Harbor/Penta FFA Agriculture Sales Team placed first at the District One Agriculture Sales Career Development Event on Thursday, Feb. 10. The team also received a “Gold” rating for their outstanding perfor-mance. The team consisted of Ashley Buhrow, Jake Bar-trom, Logan Bahnsen and Logan Fisher.

The Career Development Event is composed of an ob-jective test, sales demonstration, and “Customer Rela-tions” practicum. The test is designed to assess the team members’ understanding of the sales process and the role selling plays in marketing agriculture products. The sales demonstration assesses the team member’s ability to properly develop and sell an agricultural product to a cus-tomer and properly conclude the sales transaction.

The practicum consists of the participant interacting with a customer to determine how to help the customer with their complaint. Each team member competes sepa-rately in these three events and then each individual score is totaled for an overall team score.

Buhrow was the high individual along with Bartrom placing third overall. The team will be competing again on the State level at Tolles Technical Center in Plain City on Saturday, March 5.

Sixty-six Port Clinton Middle School Students were the first inductees to the National Junior Honor Society at PCMS on Tuesday, Feb. 8. Carrie Sanchez, PCMS prin-cipal, addressed the entire middle school student body and approximately 200 parents, grandparents and special guests in attendance.

“Today is a very exciting day for all of Port Clinton Mid-dle School, as we are stepping onto a new path, one that recognizes and honors and publicly celebrates the academ-ic accomplishments of our students,” Sanchez said.

According to its website, “The National Honor Society (NHS) and National Junior Honor Society (NJHS) are the nation’s premier organizations established to recognize outstanding high school and middle level students. More than just an honor roll, NHS and NJHS serve to honor those students who have demonstrated excellence in the areas of Scholarship, Leadership, Service, and Character (and Citizenship for NJHS).”

For the induction process, eligible students were asked to write an essay explaining why they would like to be a part of National Junior Honor Society, how they represent the characteristics of NJHS and what their future goals are for their lives.

“The students sitting before you and amongst you repre-sent hope and life and dreams and the vastness of the fu-ture. Their goals represent the solid foundations that you, their parents and families and teachers are giving them,” Sanchez said after reading excerpts form the essays.

Students inducted into the National Junior Honor Soci-ety at Port Clinton Middle School included:

• Fleet 6 — Keegan Chapman, Paul Dress, Samantha Em-mons, Meghan Gallogly, Victoria Glaze, Natalie Gottron, Thomas Keville, Courtney Koebel, Alyssa Krupp, Hailey Marez, Logan Martinez, Andrea Rewoldt, Gunner Reyn-olds, Taylor Rollins, Alex St. Leger, Austin Vargas, Katelyn Wammes and Stephanie Wheeler.

• Fleet 7 — Ellis Adolph III, Sydney Alexander, Gina Bu-ono, Allison Cline, Maddison Cole, Kelsey Dietrich, Carter Frye, Jasmine Garcia, Olivia Heckerd, Ashley Householder, Steven Kast, Hannah Kiker, Haley Klima, Katelyn Koebel, Baleigh Limestahl, Alyssa Peto, Collin Rider, Maranda San-toya, Emily Shaw, Noah Smith, Taylor Steyer, Natalie Sti-tak, Alana Sutherland, Bethany Urban, Alexandria Vickery, Spencer Wadsworth, Abigail Waite and Adam Wells.

• Fleet 8 — Emily Ashley, Gaberiel DeFreitas, Ty Gal-logly, Ashley Gill, Allison Gilleland, Benjamin Heminger, Colleen Keck, Heather Keck, Aaron Lockhart, Summer Magi, Shane Meek, Kathryn Mueller, Alec Ochs, Nicholas Reineck, Allison Schroeder, Katlyn Sheppard, Elizabeth Showalter, Gracey Stewart, McKenzie Stine and Hannah Weaver.

Financial Focuswith GARY COON

Brush up on your estate plan basicsDuring your lifetime, you make a lot of moves to pro-

vide financial security to your loved ones. You put away money for college for your children. You save and invest for your own retirement so that you won’t burden your grown children with significant expenses. And you pur-chase adequate life insurance to enable your family to maintain its lifestyle should anything happen to you. Yet, if you’re going to help preserve your family’s financial well-being after you’re gone, you also need to take one ad-ditional step: Create an estate plan.

Toward that end, you’ll want to start by learning a few of the estate plan basics, such as these commonly used tools:

• Will — For most people, a will is probably the most essential estate-planning document. Regardless of the size of your estate, you need a will to ensure that your assets and personal belongings will be distributed according to your wishes. If you die intestate (without a will), your be-longings will be distributed to your “heirs” as defined by state laws — and these distributions may not be at all what you had in mind.

• Living trust — A simple will may not be sufficient for your needs. Consequently, you may want to design a liv-ing trust, which provides you with more flexibility in dis-tributing assets. For example, you could direct your living trust to disperse assets to your children or grandchildren at specific ages. Also, a living trust makes it possible for your assets to be distributed without going through the often time-consuming, and public, probate process.

• Beneficiary designations — Over time, your life may change in many ways, through marriage, remarriage, chil-dren, stepchildren and so on. That’s why it’s important to periodically update your beneficiary designations on your insurance policies and retirement accounts, such as your IRA and 401(k). These designations are powerful and can even supersede the instructions left in your will or living trust, so it’s essential that you’ve got the right people listed as your beneficiaries.

• Irrevocable life insurance trust — Depending on the size of your estate, your heirs may ultimately have to pay estate taxes, though the estate tax laws have been in flux in recent years and may continue to evolve. If estate taxes are a concern, you may want to take steps to alleviate them, such as establishing an irrevocable life insurance trust, under which you’d transfer a life insurance policy out of your estate and have the trust distribute the proceeds to the beneficiaries you’ve chosen.

• Power of attorney — A power of attorney allows you to appoint a person (an “Attorney-in-Fact” or “Agent”) to handle your affairs if you can’t do so yourself.

• Health care directive — A health care directive allows you to name someone to make health care decisions on your behalf, should you become physically or mentally incapacitated.

Estate planning can be complex, so you’ll need to work with your tax, legal and financial advisors to make the ar-rangements that are appropriate for your needs. It may take some time to develop your estate plan, but it’s well worth the effort.

Bellevue native Becky (Windsor) Szilagyi is serving her 16th year at the helm of the Ottawa County Municipal Court making her that court’s longest serving Chief Ad-ministrator.

“As the Clerk of Court, Becky is sort of our CEO,” said Municipal Court Judge Frederick C. (Fritz) Hany. “She is responsible for day-to-day court operations which in-clude administrating a $1.5 million per year judicial op-eration. Through her leadership, we are proud that our court continues to collect and disburse back to tax-payer supported agencies — more money than the actual cost to operate the court.”

In addition, Szilagyi’s office tracks and accounts for a busy “People’s Court” case load. Last year was no excep-tion. Her office processed more than 9,000 cases whose subject matter ranged from minor traffic violations to DUI, assaults and initial felony matters.

“Our court averages over 9,500 cases a year and in excess of $1.5 million in gross receipts. I am fortunate to work with a very dedicated staff,” she said.

Szilagyi is a graduate of Bellevue High School and Bowl-ing Green State University. She and her husband Bruce reside in Port Clinton and have two children.

Szilagyi is court’s longest-serving chief administrator
