Ladies night out got a little loud Monday at the Oak Harbor Con-servation Club. Nine at a time, the daughters, sisters and moms took aim during the Women on Target event offered by the club and the Women of the NRA. The class was free and taught by local shooters — male and female.

“It’s out of a love of firearms and to the share the knowledge,” said Harry DiCarlo, who did much of the class-room instruction.

The local classes have been going on for the past four years and the woman who spearheaded the event, Michelle Woods, directs the program that has graduated more than 100 ladies rang-ing in age from 17 to 85. Woods said they started the program to promote the junior pistol program.

“We figured if the moms under-stand, they would bring the kids out,” said Woods.

And though many of those in at-tendance don’t have competition-age kids, it seemed they all had a

good time and learned a lot.The three hours were split in the

classroom and out in the range fir-ing air pistols first, then rim-fire and center-fire pistols. The group listened to DiCarlo explain the guns — their parts, ammunition and function — then picked up the firearms, each with their own personal instructor. A 9 millimeter, an assortment of .22s, a .45 caliber as well as single- and dou-ble-action .38s were on hand for the practice.

According to participant Cathy Ha-

Program director Michelle Woods helps a shooter during the Women on Target event Monday. PHOTO BY ANGIE ADAIR

required.To sign up or get information,

Dear Editor,On behalf of the Holi-

day Bureau board, I’d like to express heartfelt thanks to the people of Ottawa

County for their generos-ity in 2009. Residents and businesses enthusiasti-cally made financial and in-kind donations, which helped the Holiday Bureau provide 2,857 people, a total of 914 families, with food and other necessities during December. This could not happen without a tremendous show of giv-ing and caring from a lov-ing community.

It literally takes hundreds of volunteers to sort, pack and distribute the donated items. This happens over a three-day period — a huge commitment during a very busy time of year. Special thanks goes to our partner, the Salvation Army that provides toys for the chil-dren.

Women who wanted to help people in need began the Holiday Bureau nearly 40 years ago. Then, as now, the entire operation is funded by donations and operated by volunteers. I am proud to continue this legacy of giving and shar-ing.

Gratefully,Judy Just2008 Ottawa County

Holiday Bureau Chair-woman

On behalf of the Respect Life Ministries of Immac-ulate Conception and St. Joseph Catholic Churches, we would like to thank you all for your witness to life in Washington, D.C., last Friday. For some it was a

financial sacrifice, for oth-ers it meant valuable time away from work, family or school. And for all of us it was a physical sacrifice of sore feet, tired legs and aching backs but most of you would agree that it was well worth it.

Organizing this trip was a bit nerve racking to say the least. Putting down huge non-refundable de-posits on the bus and hotel without knowing for sure how many people would sign up required a great amount of trust and confi-dence in God’s plan for us. I want to give credit where it is due and it was Judy’s faith and perseverance that kept things moving for-ward when I had doubts that we could actually make this happen. Thank you, Judy!

Many of you talked about next year before we even left D.C. Our Respect Life ministries meet together in early February and a trip for next year will certainly be discussed but we need your help before we make any decisions about that. Please give us some feed-back on your experience.

If you have some good group photos from the trip please e-mail them to me along with a quote or personal testimony about your experience that we could include on the flyer.

Thank you all again and I look forward to hearing from you.

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.

Erica Schimming, Port Clinton Middle School Fleet 7 math teacher, has been se-lected as the second Teacher of the Quarter by her students. PCMS students voted dur-ing their lunch periods for the one teacher they thought has been the most influential to them. All students could vote from a ballot of all teachers.

Some of the quotes from students on their nomination forms about Schim-ming included: “She makes math fun,” “She makes me work hard and learn” and “She understands me.” When asked how

students would describe Schimming, some said “Awesome,” “The Best” and “Fun.”

Schimming received a trophy donated by PCMS Student Council, Certificate of Appreciation, a gift certificate donated by Hair Quarters and gift certificate donated by The End Zone. In addition, Schimming received a “coupon” for one class to be taught by Carrie Sanchez, PCMS principal.

The Teacher of the Quarter program was initiated this year to give teachers the op-portunity to be recognized by their stu-dents for all their time and energy.

Erica Schimming is surrounded by her students, along with Troy Diels, dean of students, and Patrick Adkins, superintendent, after being named Port Clinton Middle School Teacher of the Quarter.

Being an explorer in the 1300-1500s could be rough. Your crew might desert you in Canada. You may end up secretly bur-ied along the Mississippi River, hidden from angry natives. And there was al-ways the nagging fear that you might sail off the end of the world.

On the other hand, you may be considered a god-king, or end up with a gal-axy named after you.

St. Boniface students learned this and other in-teresting facts as their social studies class-mates created reports with PowerPoint and presented them on the classroom SMART Board. Using textbooks, ency-clopedias and history books, along with a list of trusted Web sites provided by teacher Brenda Brahier, pairs of students researched noteworthy explorers such as Ferdinand Magellan, Marco Polo and Henry Hudson. Their reports included pictures and maps of their explorer’s voy-ages, as well as information such as the country they sailed for, the dates and pur-poses of the voyages, hardships encoun-tered and whether or not the voyages were considered successful.

Students were given a choice of media to present their reports. All chose Power-Point, having learned the program from computer class. The students began their

projects with their textbooks, but quickly found that good research was not as easy as checking an index or pulling up a Web site. Emma Bergman and Lucas Gregilla said Web sites usually gave more informa-tion than books, but it was often “iffy,” and they didn’t know if it was accurate. Chris Kuhn solved this by checking many differ-ent sites and watching to see which facts kept coming up the same.

When asked if they thought there were explorers today like those they studied, most students didn’t think so. Technology such as satellite imagery makes it unlikely that people could make new discoveries in the way of the old explorers. Astronauts, they believe, and undersea researchers such as Robert Ballard are the explorers of today. There are still exciting discoveries to be made without the worry of running out of world.

Beacon BitsBY VIRGINIA PARK

It’s Saturday night, about 7:30 and deep, deep dark out-side. It’s been a rainy, blustery day — but fairly warm — and most of the snow that had covered the ground has melted away. But there is more snow in the weather fore-cast for Toledo. So maybe if it gets colder again we’ll see more accumulation of the white stuff.

———Don’t forget that the Ida Rupp Library is showing inter-

esting movies on some Friday nights. Show time is 7 p.m. A schedule is available at the library’s circulation desk and events are listed in The Beacon’s Community Calendar. These movies are fun. The last one I saw was “Julia and Julie,” an interesting story about Julia Child and a wom-an unknown to her who tried to cook all of the recipes in Child’s cookbook, “The Joy of French Cooking.” Julia Child is portrayed by Meryl Streep. Strep is absolutely spectacular and has Child’s voice, accent and mannerisms down pat. It’s a very entertaining motion picture.

Another movie I’d like to see is Harrison Ford’s newest. He plays a scientist trying to help a father of two children who have been stricken with a rare, fatal disease.

———Kern Center at Terra Community College has its winter/

spring catalog of courses out, so now is the time to sign up to learn something new. There are classes in supervision and management, computer skills, grant writing, foreign

languages, music and so much more. Many courses are also offered on-line.

EHOVE Adult Career Center also has courses to help those searching for careers. Culinary arts, health care, computer skills and public safety are among the class of-ferings. Marine trades and cosmetology are also popular at that facility.

———Several people who read in this column that lots of folks

have sinus problems this year have a solution. They have purchased a little teapot like device and in that goes warm water in a saline solution. To use you tip your head to the side, pour the solution into one side of your nose, it runs through the sinuses and out the other nostril, cleaning out passages as it moves along.

I’m going to try it soon. The drawings look a little com-plicated. I’m not sure I can do it but I’m going to give it a try. I am not good at reading instructions (and actually hate following written instructions). Considering that it took several weeks to learn to wear pierced earrings “pain-free,” this procedure sounds like something that would not be easy for me. But I’d sure like to get relief from sinus pain.

Carolyn Culp forwarded an email that said a combina-tion of cinnamon and honey is good for a lot of health problems as a home remedy. A combination of the two foods supposedly helps cure arthritis, bladder infection, upset stomach, gas, influenza, pimples, colds, skin infec-tion and halitosis. It is also said to improve hearing, low-er cholesterol levels and assist the immune system. For weight loss, drinking honey and cinnamon boiled in one cup of water early in the morning (before breakfast) and then again at night before sleeping may be helpful.

I can’t vouch for the efficiency of any of these cures. But it likely wouldn’t hurt to try them.

———… And so now it is Monday evening and time to finish

writing this and the get it over to The Beacon offices.

Today the weather turned cold and it seemed as if it all happened in mid-morning. The climate was mild at the time I went to work and then it was cold and windy by lunchtime. It also snowed a bit today and it may contin-ue doing that through Tuesday. There is ice on the top of some of the bodies of water around our community. But the ice is, by no means, safe to go out on it. So be sure you know what you are doing and be sure you know the ice is thick enough to support you if you decide to try your luck ice fishing or skating. Otherwise those can be very danger-ous sports.

———I am looking for a walker — the kind that is used in as-

sistance with walking following hip and knee surgery. The kind that seems best to me is the one with two wheels. I don’t need this for myself but would like to have it on hand. Do you have a used one to donate or sell for a mini-mal amount? If so, just contact me at 419-734-2753.

Also, I want to say thanks for all the Christmas cards that were giv-en to me for a youth craft project. I have plenty of cards now and will put them to good use.

———Do you feel stressed? Lots of people do. “The Well Work-

place” newsletter lists these events as being the most stress-ful in a person’s life: death of a spouse, divorce, marital separation, time in jail, death of a close family member, personal illness or injury, marriage, pregnancy or retire-ment. The newsletter also lists some ways to cope with stress and I’ve paraphrased some of them in the following paragraphs and added a few additional ideas.

The “remedies” for stress included relaxation using deep breathing exercises, an active lifestyle with plenty of ex-ercise, healthy eating, making “to-do” lists and planning your time well, and preparing ahead for stressful events by picturing the event in your mind and having a back-up plan if things go wrong. Talking to family members or friends if you feel stressed may help, and, of course, seek-ing professional guidance is always an option if you need it. I would add to all of that to get plenty of rest and make sure you get your sleep on a regular schedule. Also it’s wise to limit alcohol, caffeine and sugary foods. (When you de-cide to undertake some exercise, be sure it is something you enjoy doing.)

Something that really helps me keep from getting stressed-out is not only making a list but then also arrang-ing the items on it in priority order. Do the important things first and do “first things first.” For example, if you have something that must be done in the afternoon, let that be the first thing you work on in the morning. When you get that task finished, you can deal with the other items on your list.

I also like to make a good plan for doing errands. Plan a route so as not to do any backtracking. Do the same with your grocery list. Imagine the layout of the grocery store and arrange your list in the order that you will walk through the store. When I shop without a list I backtrack incessantly. And sometimes I also forget some of the im-portant items that I need. So a list can be very helpful for some people.

The most stress-producing component of my life at home currently is not having a good system for dealing with stacks of paper. I don’t get the paperwork properly organized and labeled and therefore spend too much time searching for what I need — sometimes going through the same stack of paper several times. I need to get a handle on that. I guess I’ll do some serious reading about that and then follow the experts’ advice.

But, readers, do you have any suggestions about dealing with too much paper? If so, send them to me at [email protected] and I’ll not only use them at home but will also share the ideas in this column.

Aromatically, this wine exhibits black cherry, vanilla, eucalyptus and mocha. The nose is complemented with dark fruit, toast, dried cherry and blueberry on the palate. I would suggest decanting this wine for at leas 30 minutes prior to drinking.750mL

This blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Petit Verdot grapes expresses Red Head Ranch’s signature style. Elegance and focus of fruit producing wines that are supple and accessible. Enjoy!750mL

This is a gorgeous Cabernet, but it’s pretty young and while it’s delicious now due to the ripe fruit, it really needs time. Wrapped in fresh, tight tannins, it displays powerful red and black currant, blackberry, cherry, chocolate and vanilla oak flavors and shows the elegant, important mouthfeel of a top Napa Cab. Drink now-2020.750mL

The deep ruby/purple-colored 2003 Vacqueyras Grandy (75% Grenache and 25% Syrah) possesses sweet, chewy fruit and body, abundant tannin and plenty of depth and intensity. Its low acidity and exotic characteristics suggest consumption over the next 5-7 years is warranted.750mL

Honor roll

With a double-digit enrollment increase this spring, Terra Community College has

posted a record number of students for the third consecutive term.

There are 26.8 percent more students this spring than last year and 34.3 per-cent more full-time equiva-lency as compared to 2009.

Headcount this spring is 3,326 compared to 2,622 in 2009 and 2,454 in 2008. FTE is at 1,041 this year compared to 775.2 in 2009 and 712 in 2008.

The Spring 2010 statistics became official on Monday, Jan. 25.

Enrollment is measured both in the actual number of students on campus as well as FTE, which is the to-tal number of credit hours for all students registered by the census day divided by 30 credits for campuses on a se-mester system and 45 credits for those on a quarter system. Ohio public colleges receive funding from the state based on annual FTE.

GENOA — The Stella Bertz Memorial Cheerleading As-sociation, an organization created to memorialize Stella Bertz, today announced the upcoming sixth annual Cheer for a Cure Championship to be held Saturday, Feb. 20.

The Stella Bertz Memorial Cheerleading Association will again host its annual cheerleading competition with all collected donations being distributed to three noteworthy causes. Fifteen percent of the total profit will be donated directly to the American Cancer Society; while a portion of the funds will be used to assist in the purchase of new equipment for the Genoa Area School District’s cheerlead-ing squads. The remaining funds will be contributed to the Stella Bertz Memorial Scholarship Fund.

This year’s event is scheduled for Saturday, Feb. 20, at the Genoa Area High School. Doors will open at 7 a.m. Squads from local schools, as well as various elite teams, come to participate in this well-known championship. Approxi-mately 50 squads, ranging in age from Pee Wee to College, will compete for the championship title. The day’s events

will also include two 50/50 cash drawings. Cheer apparel, American Cancer Society “ribbons,” and a variety of con-cessions will be available for purchase.

Through the “Cheer for a Cure” Championship, the Stella Bertz Memorial Cheerleading Association has been able to donate more than $25,500 to the American Cancer Society in the past 5 years alone.

If you would like to make a contribution, need informa-tion or would like to enter a team, call Maria Maluchnik or Jen Bullock at 419-345-0911.

Bertz, an enthusiastic Genoa Comet supporter, coached cheerleading in the district for more than 10 years. She could be spotted at any Genoa sporting event, come rain or shine, no matter what the game, she just loved supporting the kids. Stella succumbed to cancer in February 2003, but continues to live in the hearts of many through her family and friends. Through this memorial scholarship, Stella is continuing her unending support of Genoa students.

Mayor Debbie Hymore-Tester recently honored the re-cipients of Port Clinton’s Citizen of the Year award for con-tributing unselfishly to the community. Jim Hansen, city native and member of the St. John Lutheran Church, has not only served the community in his council capacity, he has volunteered many years for the National Rifle Matches,

Ben and Wendy Richmond of the Richmond Gallery in Marblehead have announced plans for everyone to help the American Red Cross efforts in Haiti.

“After seeing the overwhelming devastation from the recent earthquake in Haiti, we knew we just had to help,” Wendy said. “So we’re giving proceeds generated from Ben’s newest Plein Air print, ‘Setting the Sail,’ directly to that effort.”

“We have thousands of collectors who, with their pur-chase of this print, can help the homeless, the needy and especially the children who don’t even have basic necessi-ties,” she said. “At the same time those who contribute, will receive an everlasting reminder of their charity. We will also add their names, personal or business, to a letter which will be sent along with the monies raised to the American Red Cross relief efforts,” she continued. “We did a simi-lar campaign after the 9-11 attacks and hurricane Katrina, which raised literally thousands of dollars. We know times are tough, but this is one way for anyone to help those in need and get something tangible in return,” Wendy said.

For information, contact The Richmond Gallery, at 417

W. Main St., Marblehead, at 800-441-5631 or www.rich-mondgallery.com

The Seeds of Hope Farm of Tiffin is expanding its prod-uct line for the 2010 growing season. In addition to the more than 30 varieties of vegetables and herbs now be-ing produced, the farm will offer new produce this year: kohlarabi, ancho and pablano peppers, leeks, red cabbage, bok choy, dichons and en-dive. The farm also will be adding to its line of pota-toes, herbs, squashes and specialty lettuce mixes.

Seeds of Hope Farm is also expanding the number of Community Supported Agriculture shares available to the public. In 2010, 100 shares will be offered on a first-come, first-served ba-sis. CSA shares are offered for individuals and families of varying sizes and include both working and non-working shares. Sharehold-ers receive more than 20 weekly shipments of locally grown, all-natural, seasonal produce. The farm offers pick-up sites for CSA mem-bers in Port Clinton, Tiffin, Findlay and Perrysburg.

Seeds of Hope Farm also maintains a self-service farm stand open from dawn to dusk on the St. Francis campus during the grow-ing season. The farm stand features seasonal vegetables, eggs from free-range lay-ing hens, as well as whole and cut-up chickens from pastured broilers. Both eggs and chickens are available year round.

The farm’s continued growth has required adap-tation of the barn areas used for packaging and storing produce. Staff members spent winter months build-ing new and more-efficient staging areas for preparing and packing vegetables for shareholders, the on-site farm stand and wholesale buyers, as well as areas for long- and short-term stor-age of produce.

Seeds of Hope Farm is a small, diversified farm dedi-cated to the production of quality, chemical-free vege-tables, herbs, eggs and meat chickens. Located in Tiffin on the St. Francis campus, the farm operates in part-nership with the Franciscan Earth Literacy Center, an environmental education and demonstration cen-ter serving northwest and northcentral Ohio.

Seeds of Hope Farm is managed by Sr. Rita Wien-ken, who with more than 30 years experience in sus-tainable agriculture, has developed numerous meth-ods for producing the high-est quality vegetables and herbs. Assistant Farm Man-ager Tricia Valentine and

marketing coordinator Erica Snyder, round out the farm’s staff.

blitzel, of Port Clinton, the teachers took the fear out of it. “Everybody here was so fantastic and knowledge-able,” she said.

Hablitzel came with and Marty Fol-ger after being invited by Nancy Bai-ley.

“Nancy invited me,” said Folger. “It sounded like fun and it was.”

Bonnie Wickert, of Fremont, said this was her first time shooting. The 60-year-old grandmother of 10 en-joyed herself so much that she plans on checking out the Wednesday night air pistol session.

“My husband’s a shooter … I thought it would be nice to know what he’s talking about,” she said.

Debbie Henderson, also a first tim-er, came from Amherst for the event.

“It’s better to know how to use it and never have to,” said Henderson.

John Brinkmanis, Deb Cantor, Ralph Burnstine, Becky Monnin, Jackie Slosnerick, R. Jay and Gary Finke, Jack Woods and Richard El-lis among others joined Woods and DiCarlo on the range to help the shooters. The women were provided with ear and eye protection, cook-ies and drinks, as well as a visor and other goodies to take home to re-

member the night. The atmosphere was friendly and comfortable and, of course, safe.

“We are not going to let you get in over your head,” said DiCarlo.

The event is meant to be fun and form is valued over function. Though a bullseye would be nice, like Burn-stine said: “no husbands, no boy-friends, no pressure.

The Ottawa County Health Department continues to en-courage all individuals to get protected against the H1N1 virus and is offering clinics. There is an ample supply of free vaccine available for anyone wishing to receive it.

CDC recommends influenza vaccination as the first and most important step in protecting against the flu. Because supply and availability of the H1N1 vaccine have increased dramatically, CDC is now encouraging everyone to get vaccinated at this time.

Even though flu activity has decreased over the past few weeks, there is still a likelihood of future wave of H1N1 influenza. However, if more people are vaccinated, the dis-ease is less likely to spread in the coming months.

It is also important that children age 6 months through 9 years receive two doses of H1N1 vaccine spaced at least 28 days apart. Because the H1N1 flu strain is unlike others,

children appear to have virtually no immunity to it. For that reason, the CDC recommends that children receive two doses to obtain the maximum protective benefit.

Ottawa County Health Department has a supply of H1N1 influenza vaccine for anyone 6 months or older who would like to receive it. There is no vaccine available for infants less than 6 months old.

The health department continues to offer H1N1 vaccine clinics. The clinics are by appointment only and the vac-cine is free. Clinic dates and times are as follows: 3 to 6 p.m. Jan. 28, 9 to 11 a.m. Jan. 30 and 4 to 6 p.m. Feb. 4.

For an appointment or questions, call the health depart-ment at 419-734-6800. Visit the Ottawa County Health Department’s Web site for future clinic dates at www.ot-tawacountyhealth.org.

Below is the schedule for Feb. 1-5. All clinics are at the Ottawa County Health Department with appointments being made by calling 419-734-6800 or 800-738-8803.

• Monday: Immunization— 7:45 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.; Wom-en, Infants and Children — 7:45 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

BY JOHN SCHAFFNEROh, those three-point shots! The

undefeated Port Clinton Redskins ran into a red hot Bellevue team on Satur-day night and nearly saw their unde-feated regular season go away. The Bel-levue Redmen hit on 12 three-pointers that kept them in the game until the end. However, the Port Clinton Red-skins still managed to prevail 60-58 to run their season record to 12-0.

The win at Bellevue followed the second win of the season against Oak Harbor by a comfortable but signifi-cantly narrower margin.

“Oak Harbor has been playing good basketball lately and I think that con-tinued on Friday night,” said PC Coach Troy Diels. “We missed a lot of shots at the rim that we usually make.”

The Redskins were led in scoring by Derek Colston who had 22.

“Derek has the capability to have nights like that all the time,” said Diels. “Derek is very unselfish and does a great job of taking what defenses give him. Friday night we needed him to

step up and be a scorer and he did it very well.”

On Saturday, the Redskins nearly fell victim to Bellevue’s three-point jug-gernaut.

“They shot the ball very well, to say the least,” said Diels on Monday. “Our kids were in the correct spots on de-fense, but they shot the ball with a lot of confidence. Otherwise, I feel very good about winning a game on the road against a quality opponent.”

The Redskins will put the 12-0 re-cord on the line this Friday night when they travel to meet Margaretta.

“Going against Margaretta always presents a challenge in itself for us,” said Diels. “The last couple of years have been better for us, but it always a tough place for us to play.” The Polar Bears lost a one-point game to Clyde last week.

“I thought they played with as much confidence in that game as I have seen out of them this year,” said Diels. “We will need to be ready for a battle on Friday night.”

Redskins rebound after tough loss

Lakers win one, lose one on the road

Oak Harbor sweeps SBC duals

BY J. PATRICK EAKENHosting the SBC duals is always exciting for the host

team, especially when that team dominates the field and goes undefeated.

Oak Harbor did just that this past weekend as eight teams walked into the gym and only one came out with a perfect 7-0 record.

Oak Harbor rolled through the competition. The Rocket wrestlers left no doubt that they are the superior team in the SBC. Things started off on a high note with a 61-0 victory over Margaretta and were left at pretty much that, averaging 61 points per match while giving up no more than 16 points in any dual and losing no more than three matches in any dual.

Oak Harbor defeated Perkins 62-6, Sandusky St. Mary Central Catholic 60-16, Huron 71-3, Clyde 59-15, Port Clinton 60-14, and Edison 55-15.

Six of the wrestlers finished things off with perfect 7-0 records, which should earn them top seeds when the tournament comes up.

The perfect Rockets were Drew Stone (125 pound weight class), Jake Cramer (140), Ian Miller (145), Kon-ner Witt (160), Mike Mallernee (171), and Sean McGee (189).

Others with only one loss were Alec Bowlick (103), Luke Cramer (112), Alex Bergman (130), Zach Berg-man (135), and Zach Sandwisch (285). Kyle Mincheff (152) and Jonny Bergman (215) were both 5-2, and Josh Chambers was 2-5.

The wrestlers will be in action this week at Napoleon High School as they take on Napoleon and Findlay Thursday, Jan. 28.

BY J. PATRICK EAKENLast week, the Danbury boys’ var-

sity basketball team defeated Cardi-nal Stritch 65-50, but lost to Ottawa Hills 68-59. Both games were played on the road.

The Lakers are now 7-4 overall, 4-2 in the Toledo Area Athletic Confer-ence. Stritch is winless in 13 games, including seven conference games. Ottawa Hills, on the other hand, is 10-1 overall and perfect in six confer-ence games.

In the win over Danbury, Rodney Johnson had two 3-point goals and scored 16 points to lead the Lakers, Tyler Boring had 15 points, Hunter Stephens added 14 points, and point guard Vincent Manuella scored 10 points. Steven Feyedelum had six points on two three point goals, and Dakota Hruby added four points on two 2-point goals. For Stritch, Jus-tin Staler scored 21 points, including three 3-point goals.

The Lakers led by only four points, 15-11, after one quarter, but out-scored the Cardinals 19-8 over the next eight minutes to take a 34-19 halftime lead.

Each team scored 31 points in the second half as Danbury held off any

hopes of a Stritch upset bid. The Car-dinals did have six 3-point goals.

In the loss to league leader Ottawa Hills, the Green Bears ran to a 23-8 first quarter to quickly dispel any hopes of a Danbury victory.

However, the Lakers fought back, closing the gap to 37-25 at halftime, and then outscored Ottawa hills 34-31 in the second half.

Johnson scored 22 points and Ste-phens scored 20 points to lead the Lakers, while Manuella had seven points, Nathan Hartman had six points, and Boring had four points. Manuella and Johnson each had a trey for Danbury.

Elliot Browarsky dominated for the Green Bears, scoring 27 points on only six field goals, including two 3-point goals, and 13 free throws.

The Danbury boys’ basketball game at Maumee Valley Country Day orig-inally scheduled for Jan. 7 will be made up Tuesday, Feb. 16 with the junior varsity game starting at 6 p.m.

On Tuesday, Jan. 26, the Lakers were to contend with another TAAC oppo-nent, Emmanuel Christian (3-9), 68-54 losers to Monclova Christian (9-5) last Friday.

This Saturday, Jan. 30, Danbury

plays host to non-league foe Seneca East, and on Feb. 2 the Lakers play host to conference foe Northwood (3-8, 2-4).

Youth interested in learning the art of fly fishing and practicing their skills on a half-mile section of Cold Creek at the Castalia State Fish Hatchery in Erie County are en-couraged to enter a lottery for a youth only clinic, accord-ing to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources Division of Wildlife.

There will be 30 spots available for this popular program held 8 a.m. to noon and 1 to 5 p.m. June 18.

Topics covered will be elementary “bugology,” nomencla-ture, set up and casting. In addition to fly-fishing instruc-tion by ODNR Division of Wildlife staff and members of the Clear Fork Chapter of Trout Unlimited, attendees will be able to test their newly acquired skills by fishing for the abundant rainbow trout found in Cold Creek. Anglers may also encounter an occasional brown trout.

To apply, applicants must submit a postcard listing their name, date of birth, address and phone number. Each ap-plicant must be 15 years of age or younger by the date of the clinic and be accompanied by a non-fishing adult. Postcards must be postmarked no later than May 14. No duplicate postcards may be submitted. Postcards should be sent to: ODNR Division of Wildlife District Two, 952 Lima Ave., Findlay, OH 45840 Attention: Youth Fly Fishing Clinic.

For information on Ohio’s fishery resources, call 1-800-WILDLIFE or visit ohiodnr.com on the Web. The Castalia State Fish Hatchery is located in Erie County off Ohio 269, near Castalia.

We all know time is valuable and money is limited, but the reality is there is no bet-ter time to focus on available business re-sources. The Ottawa County Chambers of Commerce and Visitor’s Bureau have en-gaged Scott Brown, Great Service Lives, to create and present the following dynamic workshops at the Ottawa County Visitor’s Bureau Welcome Center.

These business development CEUS count toward the requirements to maintain SEE Certification, however, they are open to all businesses and their workforce.

• “Harnessing the Power of Social Net-working” Facebook, Twitter LinkedIn as

a business and personal resource (No. 1 in a two-part series) — 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 24.

• “Who are you and what are you doing here?” Knowing your customers, how to gather and know really important infor-mation, from counter surveys to mystery shops — 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. Wednesday, March 24.

The cost is $25 each for SEE Certified businesses, $30 each for chamber members and $35 each for others.

For questions or registration — which is due by 5 p.m. Feb. 22 — call the Port Clin-ton Area Chamber at 419-734-5503.

On Jan. 25, some of us celebrate Opposite Day. Its origins are murky and even its exact date is in some dispute, but Opposite Day has proved to be a source of fun for many people, especially children, who choose to eat breakfast at suppertime and oth-erwise do things in reverse. However, you may find that acting in an “oppo-sitional” manner is not so harmless at other times in your life — such as when you’re investing.

What types of “oppositional” moves should you avoid? Consider the fol-lowing:

Buying when prices are highWhen the financial markets keep rising, many people

continue buying more shares in the mistaken belief that “up” is the only direction their investments can go. But while it may be human nature to want to continue racking up gains, it’s not necessarily smart investing. The higher an investment has gone, the more likely it becomes that it will plateau or potentially even drop in value. Of course, an in-vestment may one day rise again, but for the near term, its “upside potential” may be limited, so you might do better by finding other opportunities.

• Selling because prices are low — Just as some investors keep buying when prices are rising, others will sell when prices have dropped, just so they can “cut their losses.” This may be a mistake. If the investment still plays a role in your balanced portfolio, and you believe its prospects are still good, you may want to hold on to it despite its price. Fur-thermore, if your investment’s decline is due more to an overall drop in the market than a change in its own fun-damentals, it may bounce back when the market recovers. Generally speaking, you should sell an investment if your goals or risk tolerance have changed, if you need to rebal-ance your portfolio or if the investment itself has under-gone some type of shift that no longer makes it compatible with your needs.

Investing too conservativelyGiven the volatility we’ve seen in the last couple of years,

it’s probably not too surprising that many investors have “pulled back” from the market and put a lot of money in certificates of deposit and other fixed-rate, low-return in-vestments. While there is a place for these vehicles in your portfolio, you won’t want them to become too dominant — because you still need to invest for growth if you’re go-ing to achieve your long-term goals, such as a comfortable retirement. The amount of growth-oriented investments you own will depend on your risk tolerance and time ho-rizon, but there’s no point in your life — even your retire-ment years — when you won’t need some growth poten-tial.

Failing to diversifyIt is important to diversify your dollars among stocks,

bonds, government securities and other investments. Even within these broad classes, you should diversify — for ex-ample, you should consider owning stocks representing different industries and bonds with a variety of issuers and maturities. While diversification, by itself, cannot guaran-tee a profit or protect against loss, it can help reduce the effects of volatility on your portfolio.

Opposite Day comes but once a year. But making “op-positional” investment moves can have long-lasting — and potentially harmful — effects. So take the time to explore your investment decisions carefully.
