Congrats to two fine gentlemenCongratulations to Doug
Young and John Madison, winners of the top awards given out at last Saturday’s Recognition Dinner at Port Clinton Yacht Club. Young was the winner of the Oliver True Award, given to a member who has given years and hours of service to the club. Young, who has served numerous positions at PCYC including Commodore in 2009, has also provided highly professional service as the principal race officer for both regattas and to the sail fleet series. John Madi-son won the Shark Trophy, given annually to a member who has provided exceptional
service to the PCYC sail fleet. Both gentlemen are most deserving.

I am very sorry to report the passing of Betty Quisno and Dick Winters. I first got to know Betty, along with her husband Don, through the PC Athletic Booster Club. They were, of course, the parents of Port Clinton football and Oak Harbor Coaching legend Gary Quisno. I am happy to say that the last time I saw Betty was Christmas Eve at church and I was fortunate enough to give her a big hug. Dick Winters you may not know. He was the individual upon
which the World War II TV series, “Band of Brothers” was based. Former local resident Rich Riley has dedicated much of his last 10 years following and acquainting himself with the men of 101st Airborne’s “Easy Company” who fought their way through Normandy, the Battle of the Bulge and the discovery of the Dachau Concentration Camp. Both of these wonderful people will be sorely missed by the people who loved them.

Dustin Chura of the Columbus area is our winner this week in the Find
Wylie contest. He, along with 52 other folks, successfully found Wylie hiding in the ad for Mr. Ed’s on page 4A in last week’s Beacon. Dustin wins a $20 gift/gas card from Friend-ship Convenience Stores. We’ll be hiding Wylie again this week, if you find him, just drop us a note at our office at Beacon Place on Southeast Catawba Road or click on the Find Wylie icon at www.thebeacon.net.

One of the advantages of living along and reporting on the activities vital to the golden shores of Lake Erie is that it is a magnet for some fairly impressive and accomplished people. Such are the cases of two Ohio Supreme Court Justices, Terrence O’Donnell and Judith Lanz-inger. Both see our area along the shores of Lake Erie as their second homes and their place to escape the extraordinary responsibilities of their positions.
Both were seated on the Ohio High Court bench when Maureen O’Connor
was given the oath of office on Friday becoming Ohio’s first-ever woman Supreme Court Chief Justice. She succeeds another who had local ties, the late Chief Jus-tice Thomas Moyer, a Sandusky native, who was an active Lake Erie sailor and passed away last April. I was honored to receive and ac-cept, along with my wife Mary Alice, an
invitation to the solemn ceremony held at the recently renovated Ohio Judicial Center.
We arrived there about an hour prior to the ceremony, and Justice O’Donnell was kind enough to give us a tour of some of the critical places inside the Judicial Center, including the Law Library and the Justices’ Conference Room where they make their Judicial decisions — de-cisions that impact directly nearly every Ohio citizen.

Elmore’s Country Crew 4-H club is in the running to score a big boost for the Ottawa County Fairgrounds. The group has en-tered its idea — a new exhibi-tion pavilion — into the Pepsi Refresh Project which will award $250,000.
According to the Pepsi Refresh
Project’s website: “We’re looking for people, businesses, and non-profits with ideas that will have a positive impact. Look around your community and think about how you want to change it.”
That’s just what the 4-H club members did. The students — chairwoman Katy Avers, news reporter Kurt Baumgartner, club president Zak Avers, Tyler Hell-
wig and Sarah Walter — created the proposal last spring, got it ap-proved by the fair board shortly after and have been trying to get it submitted since June.
“We tried every month from there on and they only accept 1,000,” said Katy Avers. “It fills up in matter of about two minutes.”
But after trying time and time again, the idea was finally accept-
ed in December.According to the students’ pro-
posal: “This project would build an exhibition pavilion on the grounds of the Ottawa County Fair to replace the existing build-ing in serious disrepair. The show barn is a focal point of the annual county fair used by nearly every youth in the participating orga-nizations. Other non-profit orga-
nizations as well as the fair board will be able to use the new build-ing throughout the year for vari-ous activities. These will provide the fair board with additional revenue to help operate the fair and maintain existing buildings before they need to be replaced. Therefore, this building will po-

The Port Clinton Area 4th of July Cel-ebration Committee, with help from the Port Clinton Elks Lodge, are hoping to organize the largest No Limit Texas Hold’em Poker Tournament ever held in the Port Clinton area Sun-day, Jan. 30.
Limited only by the number of seats avail-able in the Grand Ballroom of the Port Clinton Elks Lodge, located at 231 Buckeye Blvd. in Port Clinton, the goal is to put a big dent in the funding goal for the 2011 Port Clinton Area 4th of July Celebration.
According to tournament co-organizer and Port Clinton Mayor Debbie Hy-more-Tester, the planning committee is gambling on increasing the number of players for this year’s event.
“The ultimate goal for the 4th of July festivities is $8,000 to $10,000 and we’ve been successful in trimming down that amount in the past with smaller Texas Hold’em events at the Elks Lodge. We’ve had 40-player tournaments but we’re hoping to take it up a few notches this year and have set a goal of 100 players, but we can accommodate many more than that if the players turn out,” Hy-more-Tester said.
Elks Exalted Ruler George Delhees is happy to lend a helping hand.
“We believe we have a wonderful facil-ity and are very proud to share it with the community, especially for an event that celebrates the birth of our great nation,” he said. “We hope we draw interested participants from around the region and we’ll welcome them with traditional Elks hospitality.”
According to 4th of July Committee Chairman and City Councilman-at-Large Mike Snider, the date of this tournament is significant as well.
“Sunday, January 30th is the week just after the NFL Division Championship Games and the week before the Super Bowl. As a football fan I call this ‘Honey Do Sunday.’ It’s the first weekend since late August that I’m not going to be at-tending or watching on TV a football game. So rather than start on that list of projects my wife’s been accumulat-ing for five months I think I’ll play Texas Hold’em,” he said.

O’Connor was sworn in by the senior Justice on the Ohio Supreme Court, Paul Pfeiffer. In her remarks, Chief Justice O’Connor pledged to reduce the budget of the Court by 10 percent.
“Without question, each branch of government will un-dergo some degree of belt-tightening while still delivering high-quality services,” she said. “We are poised to make those difficult decisions strategically, collaboratively and soundly.”
The new Chief Justice also said she was honored to suc-ceed Moyer, a man for whom she held a great deal of re-spect. In fact, when she mentioned in her remarks, she had to pause a moment to recapture her composure.
Following the ceremony, Lanzinger greeted us along with her husband Bob. Both are members of Port Clin-ton Yacht Club and keep their boat there during the sum-mer months. Bob Lanzinger told us that his wife and the new Chief Justice became fast friends when Judith joined the court for her first six-year term, two years after Justice O’Connor joined Ohio’s High Court. They remain close today.
Administrator Bob Hruska is also famous for being the first person in Ohio to make an Egg McMuffin. How about that???

I notice that a number of folks (well, a few anyway) still have external Christmas decorations and lights brightening up the landscape. As I write on Sunday evening, I’m continuing to enjoy the lights from three trees in my home.
I was not able to do much decorating for the holidays this year. But in the living room, perched on a decorative box, is an “Austrian” tree with white lights and no other ornaments. On an old marble-topped table behind the couch is a fiber-optic tree — a small one — and it is adjusted to give only white light. On the front porch is a “normal” size tree with small white lights and no other decorations. I don’t see this one to enjoy as often as I would like but I do go to the front door to look out at it a couple times every evening.
Even though it is Jan. 9, I’m not ready to put the trees back in storage yet. There has not been enough time to enjoy them.
I’m running a little behind schedule this year. I did not get anything but the most basic decorations were up at Christ-mas time. Now gifts are piled un-der the Austrian Christmas tree in front of the fireplace. Maybe some evening this coming week I’ll go through them and put them away where they belong. Two of my favorite gifts were cookbooks. One is “Chocolate Epiphany” and you can guess what that’s about. The other is
Jan Karon’s “Mitford Cookbook and Kitchen Reader.” It was on the list of things I wanted for Christmas.
Perhaps you are familiar with author Karon. She has written a series of novels about Father Timothy Kavanaugh. Father Tim is an imaginary Episcopal priest in a small southern town called Mitford. The books are peopled with an assortment of characters, most of them beloved, some not so beloved and a few real charac-ters. I do love these books. They are just good, enjoyable reading. They are often humorous and always are good revelations into the human spirit and psyche.
Cooking of one sort or another is often featured in this series of books and the gift cookbook I just received is a compilation of recipes for foods mentioned in the books.

One night last week I went into the Goodwill Store out on Ohio 53 North in Portage Township. Not realizing that the store had moved into new quarters (next door to the old place), it was a very pleasant surprise to walk in and find a very big change. The first (and best) improvement is the lighting. It is immedi-ately noticeable and keeps the store sparkly bright. Next is a book reading area just inside the door and to the left. Home décor items are front and center and clothing flanks that area. Furniture and larger items are at
the rear. It was a real pleasure to shop through the store. I recom-mend a trip there when you have the opportunity.

The cold weather has really settled in. There is an old saying:
“When the days begin to lengthen —
The cold begins to strengthen.”That is certainly proving to be
true this year. It’s been very cold. More very low temperatures are predicted for this week. It’s com-fortable inside but I don’t like being outside for any extended period of time. And the intense cold seems to make muscles and joints on a lot of folks a bit “achy-er” than usual.
It’s also been difficult to keep the exterior of the car clean. With so much salt on the roads, every trip — even those of short duration — seems to provide an accumulation of the sticky, grainy white stuff. Frequent washings of the car have not been enough to keep the vehicle looking good.

The news from Tucson, Ariz., of a senseless shooting yesterday was disturbing. I heard about it last night and learned the full impact of it this morning on the news. It made me feel weepy and sad all day long. The death of a 9-year-old child at the hands of someone who is discontented about the government is almost too much to bear. And the other tragic deaths as well as the see-
ing agony of the families whose members were killed or wound-ed were saddening beyond belief. At the present time the Congresswoman upon whom the attack was directed remains alive but is in critical condition. A federal judge is dead. There is no explanation and no way to understand such incidents as these.
n n n
On a brighter note, the latest issue of the AAA “Going Places” magazine came last week. Law-rene Montowski, of Catawba Island, is pictured in it. Lawrene won a prize after registering for a Greek Isle and Mediterranean cruise. Congratulations to her.
An article in the magazine was called “Frugal yet Fruitful Liv-ing.” It contained a number of hints for saving money. Here is one I really liked: Carry a lunch to work rather than going out to a restaurant (even a cheap, fast-food restaurant) to eat. If you carry your lunch (brown-bag it) even just once a week, you can save a substantial amount of money each year. This is defi-nitely a good idea but not as easy to accomplish as it seems.
Here’s how it can work. A friend of mine plans her evening meals in order to have a serv-ing of leftovers to carry to work for lunch the next day. Another good idea for lunches: carry leftovers home from restaurants when dining out. The portions are always too big for most
people. So take them home and put them in plastic containers to carry to work the next day. Another idea — have the veg-etables and fruits that you will carry cleaned and ready to go. This saves time in the morning. An even better idea is to pack the lunch in the evening. Then it is and easy job just to grab it and go in the morning.

There has been a purported announcement from IRS that the deadline for filing federal income taxes this year is Monday, April 18. I hope that is accurate. If so, that will give us a little extra time to get our tax returns in the mail to meet the deadlines imposed by Uncle Sam.

The Friday Night movie series at the Ida Rupp Library at Port Clinton has resumed. Admis-sion is free and showing begins at 7 p.m. Next up is the 2010 “Inception,” starring Leonardo di Caprio. It will be shown this Friday, Jan. 14. And here are two movies I’d like to see: the remake of “True Grit” starring Jeff Bridges and “The King’s Speech” starring Colin Firth.

Still enjoying Christmas
Sound OffRed Kettle Campaign
It is, once again, that time of year to re-port the amazing and astonishing success of our Red Kettle Campaign, due to the generosity of the donors and bell ringing volunteers of Ottawa County. Each year, for the past three, as Director of The Sal-vation Army–Ottawa County, I have been amazed and overwhelmed at the charitable devotion that the people in Ottawa Coun-ty have. From the toy collection boxes, coat collections, mitten trees, toy donations, kettle donations and monetary gifts that
are a steady stream in my office from Oct. 1 through Dec. 31, I can honestly say, I have never been part of something this colossal. This year, I added two extra weeks of bell ringing, due to the economy and the in-creasing needs of people in Ottawa Coun-ty. I was apprehensive, at first, and fearful of not finding the volunteers to cover the 1,500 hours of bell ringing. As days went by, as they do every year for the past three, volunteers were calling my office and cell phone with holiday cheer, wanting to ring the bell! I am elated to say that we, the vol-unteers of Ottawa County, rang the bell for
1,500 hours with 516 vol-unteers.
With our Red Kettle goal at $52,000 this year, we surpassed our goal by raising $53,391.36! Con-gratulations to each and every person who donated money in our Red Kettles and bell ringers in Ottawa County, for we could not have attained this unat-tainable goal without you!
We also have received and distributed over 844 coats this year, through our Coats for Families Program and distributed over 4,700 toys to nearly 1,700 children through our Toy Program.
Without the generosity of the community and vol-unteers, we could not have served so many in Ottawa County and these pro-grams that The Salvation Army offer year-round,
could not happen.It is with great pride and admiration, for
which I am proud to say, I live in and work in Ottawa County!

Celebrate in styleEach year, Ruth Ann’s House holds a
Christmas party for the ladies currently or recently involved in the program. To make the party special, certain businesses are asked to help by donating stocking stuffers or raffle items. Once again, many area businesses were very generous.
Each lady received warm, fuzzy gloves (Dean’s Discount), Frosty coupons (Wen-dy’s), certificates for haircuts (Pin-Ups Hair Studio) and snowman ornaments/potpourri (Mary’s Blossom Shoppe) in their gift bag.
Raffle items donated included gift cer-tificates from Marcos, Pizza House, Cheese Haven, Community Market, Dianna’s Res-taurant, Kroger, Just Dessert It and Island House Restaurant. Jewelry was provided by International Jewelers (Sandusky Mall) and By Laurie. Gifts were from MozinArt, Ace Hardware, Newport Dry Goods, Oli-ver’s Hair Salon, Perfect Hair and Color, Second Street Gallery and Shoppe, Hot Topics (Sandusky Mall) and Dollar Island (Sandusky Mall).
Pizza Hut provided pizza for every family currently living at Ruth Ann’s House.
So just like in previous years, because of the kind-ness of these businesses in our area, Ruth Ann’s House was able to celebrate in style.
Sincere thanks to all who were a part of that success.

Holiday BureauOn behalf of the Holiday Bureau board,
I’d like to express heartfelt thanks to the people of Ottawa County for their gen-erosity in 2010. Residents and businesses enthusiastically made financial and in-kind donations, which helped the Holiday Bureau provide a total of 845 families with food and other necessities during Decem-ber. This could not happen without a tre-mendous show of giving and caring from a loving community.
It literally takes hundred of volunteers to sort, pack and distribute the donated items. This happens over a three-day pe-riod — a huge commitment during a very busy time of year. Special thanks goes to our partner, the Salvation Army, that pro-vides toys for the children.
Nearly 40 years ago, local women who saw an urgent need began the Holiday Bu-reau. Then, as now, the entire operation was funded by donations and operated by volunteers. I am proud to continue this legacy of giving and sharing.

What do Athens, Lake Placid, Innsbruck, Berlin, Albertville and Atlanta have in common? Give up? These cities have the high honor of playing host to past Olym-pic Games.
Hopefully by the end of January 2011, we might be able to add Port Clinton to that distinguished list as well.
At a recent Port Clinton City Council meeting, Emergency Services Committee Chairman Mike Snider announced that members of the Port Clinton area emer-gency services community, which includes the PC Fire Department, North Central EMS, PC Police Department, Ottawa County Sheriff ’s Office, Ohio Highway Patrol and U.S. Customs & Border Protec-tion, will be competing as two teams for bragging rights and a traveling trophy in the first-ever Emergency Services Olym-pics.
Snider exlains the concept of the Olym-pics like this: “There is a great deal of good-hearted gamesmanship between Fire/EMS and law enforcement in the area. So with the permission and assistance of the heads of the respective participating depart-ments, we put together a list of ‘safe and fun’ events and then brought the idea to the respective members. The membership of these organizations took over from there.”
Events include English darts singles and doubles, billiards singles and doubles, bas-ketball shooting, chess, euchre, bowling and the paper airplane toss.
When asked which team was going to win, Port Clinton Fire Chief Kent Johnson replied with a big smile on his face “any time, any place, the fire department and EMS will take ’em down!”
Port Clinton Police Chief Tom Blohm was looking for a bit more action with these games. “I wanted to add jujitsu but our friends with the big red trucks thought they’d get hurt so we dropped that event and replaced it with Euchre!”
The public is encouraged to watch and cheer for their favorite team. Although the date, time and location of most events will be scheduled at the last minute due to the nature of the duty schedules of the partici-pating agencies. This information will be posted on Facebook, bulletin boards at the participating departments and via e-mail.
However, with assistance from the Port Clinton High School Athletic Director Carey Clum the basketball event, which features Firefighter Jay “Slammer Jammer” Edwards versus Officer Ralph “Above the Rim” Edmonds, will take place at halftime of the Port Clinton girls varsity basketball Game on Saturday, Jan. 22. The pair will each shoot 10 foul shots, three 3-point shots and one half-court shot during the competition.
Anyone interested in getting more infor-mation on the date, time and location of the specific events can contact Snider at 419-732-1111 or [email protected].
Ottawa County Housing Authority in partnership with Ottawa Residential Ser-vices Inc. and WSOS, on behalf of the City of Port Clinton, is pleased to announce that the Tenant Base Rental Assistance ap-plication process opens Jan. 18.

COLUMBUS — Connect Ohio and Ida Rupp Public Library have partnered in the statewide Every Citizen Online broadband training project.
The program recently received $6.9 million in federal funding, as well as more than $3 million in assistance and contributions from a number of participating entities across the state, to increase the sustainable adoption of broadband services for more than 200,000 state residents. Free computer training sessions will be provided at public libraries and community colleges throughout Ohio to introduce new users to a wide range of commu-nication, education and healthcare tools available online. Interested adults throughout Ohio are eligible to participate in the program, which is geared toward first-time com-puter and broadband users.
Classes were set to begin Jan. 11 at the Ida Rupp Public Library classroom annex, locat-ed across from the Ottawa County Historical Society at 125c W. Third St., Port Clinton.
The coursework will include three, two-hour sessions covering computer basics, an introduction to the Internet and discussions about how broadband can be helpful in daily life.
Participants can register by contacting the library at 419-732-3212.“Ida Rupp Public Library is proud to partner with Connect Ohio to provide free on-
line training to those in our area,” said Deborah Rossman, library director. “Internet access opens a world of possibili-ties and we want to help make that available to everyone.”
“This is an incredibly exciting program for Ohio. Cur-rently, just 66 percent of Ohio households subscribe to broadband service, leaving more than 3 million Ohioans on the wrong side of the digital divide,” Connect Ohio Ex-ecutive Director Tom Fritz said. “The Every Citizen Online program is an opportunity to close the gap between those who have computer technology at home and those who do not, preparing state residents without high-speed Internet for a technologically driven society.”
Connect Ohio is a non-profit public-private partnership, whose mission is to see all Ohioans connected to the ben-efits of high-speed Internet service. Through the Every Citizen Online program, Connect Ohio is assisting librar-ies and community colleges with the cost of instructors, computers, and public awareness to provide training to as many as 200,000 new users over the next two years.
Other partners in the program include the State Library of Ohio, The Ohio Association of Broadcasters, The Ohio Public Television Stations, Ohio Public Radio, Ground-work Group, the Ohio Public Library Information Net-work, and a wide variety of libraries and community col-leges across the state. Computer companies, such as Intel and Microsoft, have expressed interest in the project and many broadband service providers across Ohio are work-ing to ensure that participants can easily get online by pro-viding special incentives to first-time broadband subscrib-ers who complete the training.

Act matching grant is awarded by the U.S. Department of Commerce’s National Telecommunications and Informa-tion Administration’s Broadband Technology Opportuni-ties Program.

The results of the survey are now post-ed online at www.oakharborohio.net for viewing and download. With the results of the survey, the Oak Harbor Downtown group is able to better gauge what Oak Harbor needs, and in what direction the committee needs to go. The group can also
share these results with landlords, building owners, potential businesses and develop-ers to help them determine a strategy for their building or business.
Officials say they appreciate everyone who took the time to fill out the survey and send a big thank you to Community Markets, National Bank of Oak Harbor, Oak Harbor Public Library, The Oak Har-bor Area Chamber of Commerce and the Village of Oak Harbor for passing out and collecting surveys over the last few months.
For questions or concerns regarding the survey, call Valerie Winterfield at 419-898-0479.

(ARA) - A fresh cycle starts fresh every year on Jan. 1. We promise ourselves we’ll start eating better, work out, save more money, or otherwise improve upon the way we live our lives. However, statis-tics show that by mid-January, most people don’t follow through on their resolutions and give up. This happens so often but it’s not always easy to understand why.
Peak performance coach and human behavior expert Tony Robbins says that when some-one isn’t achieving their goal, it’s often because they haven’t made it a “must.” “People give up on achieving their goals be-cause they are ‘shoulds’ and not ‘musts,’” says Robbins. “But when something becomes an abso-lute must for you, when you cut off any other possibility in your mind, then you will do whatever it takes to achieve your goal.”
Too often, people set unrealis-tic ways to reach their goals, feel disappointed when they have a setback and give up too soon. If you need to lose 50 pounds but haven’t exercised in three years, going out for a 10-mile run isn’t a good way to get started - you’ll
only be discouraged. Instead, start with goals that are achiev-able. You’ll enjoy consistent suc-cesses that add up to create the momentum needed to get you to your goal.
When faced with a setback, look at it as just a step along the way to your goal. When something doesn’t work, try another ap-proach and always keep your end goal fresh in mind.
Getting started is the biggest step you’ll take. Having some guidelines can help you begin working toward your goals. Tony Robbins offers these tips from his popular personal development program, Ultimate Edge.
*Raise your standards. To find real personal fulfillment, you must continue to grow by chal-lenging yourself and raising the standards by which you live
your life. “Most people fail in life because they major in mi-nor things,” says Robbins. Start by painting a mental picture: Who do you want to become as a person? Then, ask yourself what standards you would need to set to be that person - what would you have to believe or do; how would you have to dress, talk or walk?
*Drop the story and tell your-self the truth. Honest assessments can be hard to make, but it’s an essential step to lasting change. Write down, in detail, what your life is like right now in the area you want to change. Be specific. For example: “I can’t fit into any of my clothes and keep buying bigger sizes pretending I am not getting heavier.”
*Develop a vision that excites you and the habits you need to make it real. “Knowing what you want is important, but you need to know why you want it and to have a clear vision - that is what will keep pulling you toward your goal,” says Robbins. Instead of setting a goal to lose 10 pounds, make it more compelling by concentrating on the effects of
losing weight, like transforming your body or feeling younger and stronger. Write it down, using language that excites you and the habits you will need to achieve your goal - again, be honest, spe-cific and realistic.
*Find role models. Whether it’s friends, acquaintances or some-one in the public eye, find role models who inspire you and are achieving the results you want. Often, by watching and following what they do, you’ll get the same results. This can be an intimidat-ing step, but it can make a real difference - reach out to those people and tell them what you admire. Ask them about the steps they took to achieve success - this can provide you with a clearer idea of how to reach your goal.
Waiting for the calendar to turn to begin on your goals shouldn’t be part of your plan, get a head start now. If you’re starting out with questions, don’t worry - you’re not alone. Tony Robbins is scheduled to appear on QVC Friday, Jan. 14 and Saturday, Jan. 15 to offer the Ultimate Edge program. During the broadcast, Robbins will give you his inside
Achieve your New Year’s resolution: Make it a ‘must’
(ARA) - Seeking wellness and staying healthy are two things that most people strive to achieve throughout their lives. But many find it a challenge simply because they have so much going on at any given time.
Now, thanks to a new concept called “health coaching,” people are finding additional help with setting realistic goals, and staying on track.
Health coaching. It’s an increasingly popular method of guiding people to discover and address their unique health and wellness needs. And it can help increase their capacity to achieve short- and long-term goals. Based on the “whole person” approach, health coaching helps peo-
ple identify the motivation they need to get excited about working toward their objectives, and provides encourage-ment to address obstacles along the way.
Through a new interactive, virtual health-coaching tool called “HealthCoach4Me,” online health coaching is now available at no cost to consumers at www.Health-Coach4Me.com. Developed by GlaxoSmithKline, this program offers tools to help people set, track and reach their personal health and wellness goals.
The website provides health and wellness coaching in areas including nutrition, exercise, weight management, stress management and smoking cessation. It also pro-
vides comprehensive information and coaching around major medical conditions such as asthma, chronic ob-structive pulmonary disorder, breast cancer, diabetes, heart disease and migraine headache.
“HealthCoach4me is an innovative website that com-bines the latest science in behavior change with cutting edge technology in a creative way,” says Dr. Ruth Q. Wo-lever, director of Behavioral Health and Lifestyle Coach-ing, Duke Diet and Fitness Center; and director of Health Psychology, Duke University Integrative Medicine. Dr. Wolever also served as a development consultant on the site. “It helps people focus on small steps to achieve their personal goals, motivating them to adopt healthier hab-its.”
If you, a friend or family member could benefit from health coaching, HealthCoach4Me.com will set you up with a “My Coaching Plan” page where you can receive coaching messages and tips, use interactive gadgets, and set up e-mail reminders. Because support from family and friends is important in reaching health and wellness goals, the website incorporates sharing features on social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter. This means participants can post their successes or invite family and friends to support them - or even join themselves. The site also provides links to a large health library with up-to-date health-related information from a collection of more than 1,000 patient education resources.
“Our goal is to provide tools to help patients achieve better overall health outcomes,” says Mark Johnson, vice president of GlaxoSmithKline. “While excellent health coaching tools are offered for specialty areas like smoking cessation or weight management, we believe that Health-Coach4Me takes disease management to the next level and enables people to work on a broader set of personal health goals.”

Stein Hospice, a long-time advocate of end-of-life care for veterans, has reached the first benchmark of a pioneering cam-paign focused on quality veteran care.
“We Honor Veterans” recognizes that one in four dying Americans is a veteran who often faces unique challenges at the end of life. The program was launched in Septem-ber by the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.
To achieve full partnership in “We Honor Veterans,” a hospice must complete four levels of stringent requirements. Stein Hospice was recently notified that it is one of about a dozen hospices in the United States to reach level one. In addition, three hospices have reached level three.
To achieve the first level, Stein demon-strated that the agency has educated staff and volunteers about the specific needs of terminally ill veterans and has a system to identify patients with military experience.
“All hospices are serving veterans but often aren’t aware of that person’s ser-vice in the armed forces,” said J. Donald Schumacher, NHPCO president and CEO. “Through ‘We Honor Veterans’ we are tak-ing a giant step forward in helping hospice and palliative care providers understand and serve Veterans at the end of life and work more effectively with VA medical fa-cilities in their communities.”
The resources of “We Honor Veterans” focus on respectful inquiry, compassionate listening and grateful acknowledgment, coupled with Veteran-centric education of health care staff caring for Veterans. To learn more about “We Honor Veterans,” visit www.wehonorveterans.org.
In 1994 Stein Hospice began caring for residents at the Ohio Veterans Home in Sandusky. Since then, Stein has been at the forefront of providing end-of-life care to Veterans and has served as a model pro-gram in Ohio.
Stein Hospice offers a variety of sup-port groups, open to everyone in the community whether or not they have had previous involvement with Stein Hospice. The groups are free but registra-tion is required. Contact Hope Seavers at 419-625-5269 or [email protected] for information on these and other groups:
• Healing Hearts is an ongoing sup-port group for adults who have lost an
adult loved one, 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. the first Thursday of each month at Stein Hospice, 1200 Sycamore Line, Sandusky, and the third Thursday of each month at Magruder Hospital, second Floor Confer-ence Room, 615 Fulton St., Port Clinton.
• Rain’s End is a six-week group for adults who have lost a loved one through suicide, 5:30 to 7 p.m. Tuesdays, Feb. 15-March 22, Stein Hospice, 1200 Syca-more Line, Sandusky.
At its December meeting, the Memo-rial Hospital Medical Staff elected the first-ever female chief of staff: Mary B. Wonderly, M.D.
“I am deeply hon-ored to be given this opportunity by my esteemed colleagues at Memorial,” said Wonderly.
She began her ca-reer as a staff nurse at Memorial Hospi-tal and worked her way up to become the hospital’s chief of nursing. After 15 years in that field, Wonderly decided to pursue her life-long dream of being a doctor. With the support of her family, Wonderly attended medical school at The University of Toledo, where she was named as a top-20 family practice resi-dent in the country. She is now a board certified family practice physician in Fremont.
While attending medical school, Won-derly earned many honors, including the Janet M. Glasgow Achievement Cita-tion, the Toledo/Lucas County Academy of Family Physicians Award and several others.
Wonderly is president of the Sandusky County Medical Society, medical direc-tor at Heartland Home Care and Valley View Health Care Center and an assis-tant professor at UT. In 2008, she re-ceived the Dean’s Award for Teaching at UT.
“Our community has a tremendously talented team of physicians; I look for-ward to continue working with them as we build on our standard of excellence at Memorial,” she said.
As Chief of Staff, Wonderly will serve as chairwoman on the Medical Execu-tive Committee. She will also serve on the Joint Conference Committee, Phy-sician Recruitment Committee and on Memorial’s Operating Board of Direc-tors. She previously served as secretary/treasurer and chairwoman of the Bylaws Committee and served on the IT Steer-ing Committee.
In her spare time, Wonderly enjoys an-tiquing, restoring her 158-year old home and spending time with her husband and four children.
At the December meeting, Rick Wiecek M.D., was elected vice chief of staff. Wiecek has served on the medical staff since 2005. He will serve as chairman of the Patient Care Evaluation Committee, and will also serve on the Medical Ex-ecutive Committee and the Joint Con-ference Committee. He has previously served on the Cancer Committee, and as chairman of the Credentials Committee. Wiecek received his medical education and training at Wright State University and the State University of New York at Buffalo. In 2002-2003, he was honored with the Theodore C. Jewett Jr. M.D. Gold Star Resident of the Year by The Children’s Hospital of Buffalo’s Depart-ment of Pediatric Surgery. Wiecek is a native of Middleburg Heights.

When you go through two games on a weekend and score only 54 points “combined” … you can be pretty sure you are in a shooting slump. Such was the case for the Port Clinton Redskins over the weekend as they lost to Huron 36-23, and to Clyde 43-31.
Shooting isn’t the only problem for this year’s group. Possibly the No. 1 problem has been injuries to key players. Another one, Ja-son Faust, went down last week-end. He joined the other walking wounded, Josh Graves and Rob-ert Fravel, not to mention Derek Colston who is still not fully re-covered from his turf toe injury suffered in his last football game.
So, here is the update … Faust broke a bone in his hand, prob-ably out several weeks. Graves has a broken tibia and will be out an-other four to five weeks. Fravel is still week to week with a sprained MCL in his knee, but will not play this weekend.
Coach Troy Diels talks a lot about consistency, but how hard has it been with all the injuries this year?
“I believe we have had eight
different starting lineups in nine games this year,” said the coach. “It is hard on the kids to have dif-ferent lineups all the time, because they cannot get comfortable with who they are on the floor with. Hopefully in the second half of the year we can settle into a lineup and start to gain some of that con-sistency.”
The poor shooting last weekend has Diels somewhat mystified.
“I wish I had an answer,” he said. “We are taking good shots, but the shots just are not falling. As poor-ly as we played on offense this past weekend, I still felt like we were one run away from being in both games in the second half. We nev-er were able to put together a run.”
This week, the Redskins of “Wounded Knee” take to the road to face the surprise team of the SBC this year, the Edison Char-gers. How did that happen?
“Their senior group has really stepped up this year,” said Diels. “They are really hurting teams with their ability to get out in transition and score easy baskets. Their transition was the differ-ence in the first game (an Edison win). We need to focus on that go-ing into Saturday night.”
Shooting, injuries plague Redskins
Lakers fall to 3-5 on the yearBY J. PATRICK EAKEN
Maumee Valley Country Day jumped a 14-3 lead over the Lak-ers then held Danbury to under 30 points as the Hawks took a 47-25 Toledo Area Athletic Con-ference victory.
For Danbury, Hunter Stephens scored 8 points and had 11 re-bounds, Caleb Helline had 6 points, Brandon Burke scored 5, Lucas Kennedy had 4, and Dalton Chapman had 2 points. Burke and Helline each had goals from behind the 3-point arc, and the Lakers were three-for-four from the charity stripe.
The Danbury boys’ basketball team had a 23-20 lead at half against Emmanuel Christian on Saturday before the school lost power. While warming up for the second half, the power went out and head coaches Dave Reg-nier and Drew Davie made the decision to call the game.
“After we found out that there was a bad accident nearby that took out an electrical pole, Coach Regnier and I felt that postponing the game was in both schools’ best interest,” said Davie.
The teams agreed to finish the second half Jan. 27. The varsity boys’ basketball team is now 3-5 on the year, 1-2 in the TAAC and travel to Toledo Christian on Friday night.

“Our team has really grown since our first games,” said Oak Harbor coach Brad Hemminger. “We stood up to their pressure in the second half much better than any time this year. It was a great game to watch.”
Oak Harbor trailed 31-23 at halftime, but in the third quar-ter Maggie Zurvalec and Maria Boers each hit treys as the Rock-ets scored 16 points, and then Oak Harbor outscored Margaret-
ta 10-6 in the final quarter to tie the game at the end of regulation.

Oak Harbor opened a 13-9 lead and maintained that margin at halftime, 22-18. In the final quar-ter, Boers, Hetrick, Dunn, and Gezo hit key free throws.

Ceinwen and Tom Price of the Home Instead Senior Care in Erie, Ottawa, Huron and San-dusky counties are celebrat-ing five years in business. Their company was founded in January 2006 as part of a franchise net-work that has become the largest of its kind in the world.
Home Instead Senior Care pro-vides non-medical home care and companionship services for seniors, with more than 875 in-dependently owned and operated franchises in 15 countries and 16 markets, spanning four conti-nents.
Non-medical services include companionship, meal prepa-ration, medication reminders, light housekeeping and escort for errands and shopping. The company’s CAREGiversSM are screened, trained, bonded, in-
sured and have successfully passed thorough criminal back-ground checks.
The Prices said they realized the stress that being a family caregiv-er can cause after caring for their mother.
“We were delighted when we found the quality work that Home Instead Senior Care was providing in other areas of Ohio and wanted to bring the service to our local counties of Ottawa, Erie, Huron and Sandusky. We care for each client, as if, they were our parent.”
The Prices say they have built a staff of dedicated caregivers and office personnel.
“We owe our success in large part to our dedicated staff,” said Tom Price.
“The strong company brand and reputation have helped es-
tablish Home Instead Senior Care locally,” said Ceinwen Price. “The first advantage Home In-stead Senior Care gave us was the opportunity to own the business, which was tremendous. Second, the company’s franchise formula provided us with a successful model, which served as a road map to help the business thrive.”
Home Instead Senior Care cur-rently has representatives that are members of Kiwanis, The Alzheimer’s Walk Committee and Magruder Hospital Auxil-lary Board. The company takes great pride in spearheading the Be A Santa To A Senior program each holiday season. This pro-gram has delivered 2,000 gifts to Ottawa County seniors over the past five years.

As you navigate the financial world, you’ll most likely deal with a wide array of investment choices, constantly changing tax laws, estate-planning issues and other areas. And then, to make things even more complex, you’ll have to consider your own risk tolerance, time horizon and in-dividual goals. If you’re like most people, you don’t have the time and expertise to create, monitor and adjust your investment strat-egy by yourself, so you’ll need to get some help. But how can you choose a financial professional who is right for you?
You’ll need to do some research, possibly by interviewing a few candidates. Here are a few ques-tions you may want to ask:
• Do you have experience work-ing with people like me? Ideally, you’d like to work with someone who has experience in helping people like you — that is, people with similar income and asset
levels, family situations, goals and so on. The more familiar a finan-cial professional is with people like you, the better that person will be at helping you identify the appropriate investment moves.
• Do you have a particular in-vestment philosophy? Look for someone with a thoughtful, rea-soned philosophy on investing. As a general rule, be suspicious of anyone promising you big, quick gains. The best financial profes-sionals seek to help their clients achieve positive long-term results through disciplined, persistent and sensible investment moves.
• How often will you commu-nicate with me? If you’re going to entrust your hard-earned fi-nancial resources with someone, you’ll want that person to com-municate with you regularly as to how you’re doing and what changes you may need to make. How often will you receive in-vestment statements? How many
times a year will you meet to re-view your progress? Can you have face-to-face consultations when-ever you need them? These are the types of questions you’ll want to ask any prospective financial advisor.
• Will you be my primary con-tact? If you seek a one-on-one re-lationship with a financial profes-sional, you’ll want that person to be your main contact, if not your exclusive one. You deserve the at-tention and expertise of a finan-cial professional, so if you’re in-terviewing someone who seems as if he or she might try to “pass you along” to subordinates in the office, keep looking.
• What services do you offer? If you want your financial profes-sional to help you create a unified investment strategy, you’ll also want that person to help you im-plement it — which means he or she needs access to a full range of investment and money manage-
ment products and services.• How are you paid? Financial
professionals are compensated in any of a number of ways. They may work on a fee-only basis, with the fee either agreed upon in advance or based on the level of assets under management. And some financial profession-als work in a combined fee-and-commission arrangement. From an investor’s point of view, one method of compensation may not be “better” than the others; nonetheless, it’s important for you to fully understand how your financial advisor will be paid.
By doing your homework in advance, you can develop a solid relationship with a qualified fi-nancial professional — someone who will be with you far into the future.
