In the Christian tradition, this week is Holy Week. It com- memorates the horrific death and ultimate resurrection of a man named Jesus who lived in what we now know as Israel. Of course, not all faiths are Christian faiths. However, the tenants of many faiths, as they regard human behavior, are similar — one God — and treat others as you would like to be treated. It is a strong fam- ily time — a time for reflection, whatever your faith. I would ask all to honor their traditions of this weekend and enjoy. n n n A gentleman who adopted our area as his home several years ago, passed away last week following a long bout with cancer. Jim Zaremba was my brother’s neighbor on Catawba. As such, I had a number of opportunities to interact with him. He was truly a very nice, soft-spoken gentleman. We also lost Dick Spicer last week, former president of the Port Clinton Area Chamber of Commerce. Dick worked tirelessly to grow the Chamber during his tenure, and he was extremely successful. n n n Our Find Wylie winner this week is Tom Keller from Marblehead who found Wylie in the ad for the Bas- sett’s Market on page 3A in last week’s Beacon.

In the Christian tradition, this week is Holy Week. It com-memorates the horrific death and ultimate resurrection of a man named Jesus who lived in what we now know as Israel.
Of course, not all faiths are Christian faiths. However, the tenants of many faiths, as they regard human behavior, are similar — one God — and treat others as you would like to be treated. It is a strong fam-ily time — a time for reflection, whatever your faith.
I would ask all to honor their traditions of this weekend and enjoy.

A gentleman who adopted our area as his home several years ago, passed away last week following a long bout with cancer. Jim Zaremba was my brother’s neighbor on Catawba. As such, I had a number of opportunities to interact with him. He was truly a very nice, soft-spoken gentleman.
We also lost Dick Spicer last week, former president of the Port Clinton Area Chamber of Commerce. Dick worked tirelessly to grow the Chamber during his tenure, and he was extremely successful.

Our Find Wylie winner this week is Tom Keller from Marblehead who found Wylie in the ad for the Bas-sett’s Market on page 3A in last week’s Beacon. Tom wins a $20 gift card from Friendship Food Stores. We’ll be hiding Wylie again this week, if you find him, drop off an entry form at our office in the Beacon Place Busi-ness Center or click on the Find Wylie Icon at www.thebeacon.net.

You have only so many years to prepare for retirement. That’s why contributing to your Individual Retirement Account (IRA) is so important. Fortunately, you still have time to maximize your 2011 IRA contribution before the April 17 deadline.
By contributing now, your retirement savings can have more opportunity to grow. Even if you already have an IRA elsewhere, it’s easy to transfer it to an Edward Jones IRA and begin receiving the face-to-face guidance you deserve.
Retirement May Be Far Off,But the April 17 Deadline forIRA Contributions Isn’t.

James ZarembaApril 26, 1940 — March 30, 2012
Captain James William Zaremba, 71, of Catawba Island peacefully
passed away on March 30, from com-plications associated with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL). He is survived by beloved wife, Joette, of 24 years and daughters Jeanne (Brian) Marten, Jessica Karazsia, and Jocelyn Karazsia. Jeanne and Bri-an blessed Jim and Joette with four beautiful grandchildren, Owen, Marianne, Abigail, and Mitch-ell. He also leaves behind his brothers Steve (Carol) and Tom (Donna) Za-remba. Jim was preceded in death by his son, Robert Zaremba.
He was the son of Stephen and Emma Zaremba and born in Pitts-burgh, Pa., on April 26, 1940. Jim grew up in Ingomar, Pa., and attend-ed North Catholic High School. As a child he developed a love of boats and the water. After Jim graduated from Saint Vincent College, he com-pleted Officers Candidate School in Newport Beach, RI and joined the U.S. Navy. During his 29 years of ac-tive and reserve service, he rose to the rank of Captain and served with distinction as Commanding Officer on mind-sweeper and missile frig-
ate missions for the Atlantic Fleet. Jim earned his masters degree from the University of Pittsburgh and had a successful sales and publishing ca-reer in Cleveland, OH. After 34 years at Penton Media, he retired as an Ex-ecutive Vice President.
The discipline and loyalty Captain Z learned in the Navy never left him, as his friends and family would attest. Jim’s will to survive leukemia was legendary. Jim will be fondly remem-bered for his ability to captivate his audience while sharing a good story. He took pride in business, boats, good rounds of golf, and catching a big walleye. Jim also truly relished his friendships and family.
A Celebration of Life Mass will be held at St. Joseph Parish Catholic Church on April 20 at 11 a.m., 113 James St., Marblehead, OH 43440. A reception brunch at the Catawba Island Club will follow. Gifts in Jim’s memory can be made to the CLL Global Research Foundation to the attention of Dr. Michael Keating, Unit 428, P.O. Box 301402, Hous-ton, TX, 77230-1402 (www.cllglobal.com). Arrangements entrusted to Gerner-Wolf-Walker Funeral Home & Crematory, Port Clinton. Condo-lences maybe shared with Jim’s fam-ily by visiting www.walkerfuneral-homes.com

Sound OffCastle or bunker?
It’s been said that a man’s home is his castle. I’m wondering about that … especially if you live in the east end of Port Clinton. It may be that a sound-proof bunker would be more appropriate.
As has been recently reported, a stray bullet from a nearby shooting range entered a family’s home and
landed in their bathroom sink. It doesn’t take a lot of imagination to think of the real harm that bullet may have caused. A very dangerous and scary situation to say the least.
Why not use the world-renowned Camp Perry shooting range located a mere 4 ½ miles west of town? There are no homes to damage or people to endanger and disturb with all the weekly loud and irritating popping
and booming.Sounds like a safe and sensible so-
lution that would possibly prevent something much more serious from happening to one of our local neigh-borhood citizens.
Another plus is that we would not have to wear our earplugs numerous times throughout the week.

THE GREAT MORELThe Great Morel has graced us with its presence in 2012. For most of
us we must still wait as the winter hiatus comes to a close, yet there are those few who are beginning to experience the delight. Most must con-tinue to wait in patience for this glorious rite of spring, which brings us the Great Morel. This often unexplainable and euphoric ritual in which we annual partake will soon be heading our way. As it news, our conversa-tion of the harsh winter many endured will be replace with conversation of the coming adventures of foraging as we wait for the appearance of the Great Morel.
The Great Morel wishes everyone the best of luck as this ephemeral of nature we have come to know draws upon us. May everyone’s rewards be plentiful, as you begin the search for the ever-elusive and oh-so mys-terious Great Morel!
Less is More...“I know that many people prefer to eat these with
some kind of coating, flour, crackers, etc.In my opinion, Less is More!I usually serve morels with a Red Meat dish. Nothing like
Morels and a big fat juicy steak off the grill! I use an Iron Skillet and melt as much butter as needed to cover what shrooms I have. I season the morels with salt and pepper only, maybe season salt if my taste buds desire, but that is all.
Sautee the mushrooms, over medium, heat until desired doneness and enjoy! I feel if you doctor them up too much you are really taking away the true flavor of these magnificent jewels of the forest.
Thanks and see you in the woods.”

United States Secretary of the Navy, Ray Mabus, recently launched the Navy’s com-memoration honoring the bicentennial of the War of 1812 at the Library of Con-gress in Washington, D.C. A regional team from the volunteer, nonprofit Perry Group presented the Secretary with a “Battle of Lake Erie Bicentennial Celebration” com-memorative flag stitched with five indelible words: “Don’t give up the ship.”
“The flag draped over the shoulder of Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry — as pic-tured in the Halls of Congress, U.S. Naval Academy Museum and Ohio State House — include these instructional yet inspira-tional words that helped chart the course of victory for America against the British in the War of 1812,” says David Zavagno, chairman of The Perry Group’s Battle of Lake Erie Bicentennial Committee, which has been planning its tribute for more than three years.
Zavagno, along with Blanca Stransky,
superintendent of the Perry’s Victory and International Peace Memorial, which over-sees the Perry Memorial and surrounding grounds at Put-in-Bay, presented the navy blue flag to Mabus.
The turning point in the War of 1812 was the Battle of Lake Erie, when Oliver Hazard Perry — sailing under a “Don’t Give Up the Ship” battle flag — led the U.S. Navy over the British Navy in a historic battle near Put-in-Bay. “Don’t give up the ship” was the dying command of James Lawrence in 1813 aboard the USS Chesapeake. The War of 1812, also remembered for Francis Scott Key’s authoring of the Star Spangled Ban-ner and the burning of the White House by the British army, was America’s first great Naval war. The Battle of Lake Erie was the first-ever U.S. Naval fleet victory over the British navy.
The Navy, as part of its 15-city tour to commemorate the bicentennial of the War of 1812, will visit Cleveland Aug. 27-Sept.
4, featuring Navy ships and special events. A video about the Navy’s commemoration, including depictions of the pivotal Battle of Lake Erie, is available on YouTube: http://youtu.be/VD75BAzjqek.

American mayors across the coun-try recently showed their support for the Meals On Wheels program in their city, town or village by deliver-ing meals to seniors. Ottawa County mayors were no exception. Mayor Mark Williams of Genoa and Mayor Fred Conley of Oak Harbor partici-pated in this annual event sponsored by the Meals On Wheels Association of America as part of the National ‘March for Meals’ Campaign. The “March” — on Wednesday, March 21 — is intended to generate public awareness about the issues of senior hunger and nutrition issues. This
year’s March For Meals campaign also celebrated the 40th Anniversary of the inclusion of Senior Nutrition Programs in the Older Americans Act. The OAA is the primary piece of federal legislation that authorizes and supports vital nutrition services, both congregate and Meals On Wheels, to Americans age 60 and older.
Ottawa County Senior Resources’ Home Delivered Meal Program de-livers approximately 200 hot meals daily to eligible seniors in all Ottawa County communities.
“This program allows our commu-nity representatives the opportunity to witness first hand the benefits of the Home Delivered Meal Program,” said Dianne Martin Mortensen, exec-utive coordinator. “With the growing elderly population in Ottawa County, the mayors’ support is vital to the continued success of our program.”
Williams and Conley delivered meals in their respective communi-ties of Genoa and Oak Harbor.

FOOD PANTRYThe brethren of Oak Harbor Masonic Lodge No. 495 recently held a collection for the Oak Harbor School District Food Pantry. Their focus was on cereal for the children since food banks have a limited stock of cereal because of the high cost of this product. The brethren agreed that it was necessary to help provide the local children with a good nutritional breakfast to start the day. Pictured are Dutch Schultz, Keith Green, Tim Foust, Terry Clark, Butch Sprague, Larry Worthington, Michael Skomrock, Robert Green, Gene Draper, Jody Hatfield, Robert Britt and Frank Fowler.
“The people should be honored to have a museum like that here in this part of the country,” Wedekemper said. “These are in demand in the bigger cities.”
According to Stan Gebhardt, di-rector of the Erie-Ottawa Regional Airport, construction on the build-
ing should be completed at the end of May with a grand opening cel-ebration set for July 20-22.
The Yankee pilots and crew will return for that celebration, along with visits June 6 and 27 to offer rides to the public. For information or to make a reservation for a flight, call Dave Wright at 734-483-4030, ext. 236.

“B and B owners seem to know every-thing,” she said. “It’s a great way to learn the history of the area,” she said.
It’s just that local history that drew the adventurer here in the first place.
“I chose Port Clinton as a starting off point because there’s a lot of rich his-tory there,” the author said, referring to the Battle of Lake Erie during the War of 1812. “I don’t think people grasp the im-portance of the lakes back then.”
During her adventure, Niewenhuis will explore how important the Great Lakes system is to the entire country, doing in-terviews along the way and brining in her scientific expertise. The writer has bach-elor’s and master’s degrees in science.
“These five lakes contain 90 percent of the fresh, surface water in the nation,” Niewenhuis points out. “And tens of mil-lions of people get their drinking water from these lakes. They are vital to the region and the nation and we need to be better stewards of this amazing natural resource.”
Niewenhuis took off Monday morning from Magee Marsh, heading west for the second day of her journey. She hikes five to eight hours a day, sometimes more than 20 miles with a 30-lb pack strapped to her back. She carries rain gear, extra clothes, binoculars, a camera, her iPad — which she will use to blog the adventure — and the most important thing of all she said:
Advil. Her adventure continues along most of
the edge of Michigan’s Lower Peninsula. This part of the hike will allow her to touch lakes Erie, Huron and Michigan. Then, she will hike two stretches along Lake Su-perior’s coast: Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore near Munising and the Estivant Pine Preserve near Copper Harbor. Finally, along the fifth Great Lake, Lake Ontario, she will hike on the Canadian side from Toronto east to the Sandbanks Park near the point where Lake Ontario egresses into the Saint Lawrence River.
The grand finale of her hike will be the approximately 15 miles from the city of Niagara-On-The-Lake on the shores of Lake Ontario to Niagara Falls on the Ni-agara River Recreational Trail in Ontario. She will invite people to walk with her for the finale in the fall.
This journey will give rise to her next book, tentatively titled “A 1000-Mile Great Lakes Walk: The Adventure Continues Along the Shores of America’s Vast Inland Seas.” Crickhollow Books of Milwaukee will publish the book in early 2013.

This Sunday there will be people worshiping in the chilly outdoors as the sun rises over the lake, the large attendance for the Sunday services, the family dinner and all the other activities that are a part of our Easter observance.
After Supper one Easter evening, Lars Tharp led the family in prayer — as he did every evening — and then he opened The Holy Bible for their daily reading and dis-cussion. The reading for the day was JOHN 20:19-31 — a reading about one of Jesus’ Post-Resurrection appear-ances.
“The day Jesus rose from the grave — at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors where shut where the disciples were assembled, for fear of the Judeans, Jesus came and stood in the midst of them, and said to them, ‘Peace be with you.’ When He had said this, Jesus showed them His hands and His side. Then the disciples were glad when they saw The Lord.”
What a belief-inspiring sight that first Easter appear-ance must have been! They saw The Man Who had been crucified, dead, and sealed in an airtight tomb for three days now standing alive in their very presence and saying, “Peace be with you.”
Guenther excitedly exclaimed, “Wow, just like that Ab-bott and Costello movie they had on tv the other night – you know, Dad, where they were in that haunted house and the ghost kept coming through the wall and scaring poor Costello.”
I guess even some adults confuse the scene in the upper room with a scene out of a B-movie in a 1940s double fea-ture where a ghost comes floating through a wall to make an appearance. Nothing like that happened that evening in the upper room.
Lars smiled and said, “No, Guenther, it was nothing like that. You know Jesus is always present everywhere — He is here with us now — in this very place — at this very moment. We can feel His Presence as we pray and read God’s Words in The Holy Bible, we simply cannot see Him.
“That evening in the upper room, Jesus chose to have His disciples and the other followers gathered in that up-per room see Him. Always invisibly present, He suddenly became visible. He even permitted them to see those hor-rible wounds which the nails had made in His wrists and ankles and to see the gaping wound in His side which had been made by that spear which the soldiers used to prove He was dead.
For 10 of His original disciples and the other followers gathered so fearfully in that upper room, seeing the resur-rected Jesus was the path to believing in Him as their Lord and Saviour – the only true path to that ultimate whole-ness and peace which only Jesus can give. And as He sud-denly allowed Himself to be seen in their very midst, they knew that though no always visible to them He was never more than a prayer’s breath from them.

The public is invited to two special services at Fire-lands Presbyterian Church during Holy Week. The first is a Christian Seder meal at 6 p.m. on Thursday, April 5 (Maundy Thursday). The Seder (SAY-der) is the Passover meal celebrated by Jewish families around the world.
“This celebration reflects many of the Jewish customs but also remembers that Jesus and his disciples were eat-ing a Passover meal at the Last Supper,” said Pastor Jeanne Gay. “It’s a fun celebration, and a very meaningful one as well.”
Call the church office at 419-734-6211 to reserve a spot at the meal, which includes a light supper.
The second special service is the church’s Good Friday Service on April 6, which is built around a Protestant version of the Stations of the Cross. Participants will help carry the “heavy cross” around the church, remem-bering Jesus’ journey to the cross and meditating on what it means to us. All are welcome at this most mean-ingful service.
As member Joyce Jagucki said: “The readings were heart-wrenching. They seeped into my soul. Stand-ing at all the different cross-es and hearing the readings gave Good Friday more of an impact than I’ve ever had sitting in a service.”
Firelands Presbyterian Church is located at 2626 East Harbor Road, a half mile west of the Port Clin-ton Walmart. The church will celebrate the resurrec-tion at one service on Easter morning, at 10:30.
For more about these ser-vices, contact Pastor Jeanne Gay at 419-707-1562.

Port Clinton Church of the Nazarene is setting up for its annual Prayer Expe-rience. For two days before Easter, different stations are arranged around the church for guests to sit and have private time to pray. As you go from station to station, there is soft sooth-ing music flowing in the background.
The experience is a per-sonal one and guests will not be bothered. The point is to take time out of your busy schedule for one-on-one with Jesus.
All are welcome.Times are 9 a.m. to 11
p.m. Friday and 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday. Port Clinton Church of the Nazarene is located at 205 W. Fourth St. in Port Clinton.
For questions about the experience or the church, call 419-732-3035.

Girls in good shapeThe 2012 Port Clinton High School girls track team heads into their season in very
good shape experience-wise. Coach Seth Benner has 15 returning letter winners ready to go for the coming season.
“With half of our team being returning letter winners, we should be able to hold our own this season,” says Coach Benner. “We will be led by last year’s state qualifier in the shot put, Emaliegh Dunn. Emaleigh was also a regional qualifier in the discus.” Benner has 30 girls out for track this season.
Last year the Redskin ladies finished a strong third in the Sandusky Bay Conference and are looking to improve on that finish. Benner is assisted by Mallory Myers, who coaches the distance runners, Phil Fought who coaches shot put and discus as well as Jeff Karner who coaches the pole vault.
Benner thinks his team is going to be strong in the distance running events. “We have many of the members of the back-to-back SBC Cross Country Championship team,” says Benner. “We’ll leave the field events with some points and just have to hold on from there. We are lacking a true burner, but we’ll try to compensate in the areas we are able.”

The Oak Harbor baseball team, which advanced to the Division II Regional Finals last season, began the season with a two losses to Norwalk in doubleheader action, falling 12-5 and 5-2, to the Truckers. Since then, however, the Rockets have won three straight games, all in the non-conference, defeating Monroeville (12-2), St. Joseph CC (11-1) and Woodmore (9-6) to im-prove to 3-2.
The Rockets softball team, which is 0-5, has played against some of the area’s most elite competition, with all but one of its losses coming three runs or less. It will look to notch its first win of the season this week against Bellevue.
The Danbury boys baseball team has struggled to an 0-3 start, but there have been some positive signs. De-spite losing to Port Clinton, 10-0, last week, the Lakers had several opportunities to take the early lead on the Redskins, only to come up short. Had they been able to score early, the complexion of the game would’ve looked far different.
The Lakers softball team, which is also 0-3, has strug-gled mightily against competition from larger area schools (Huron, PC, St. Mary CC) thus far.

The Oak Harbor boys track team has its work cut for itself. The Rock-ets must replace a number of elite athletes, among them Jake Grzym-kowski, Myles Backus, Tyler Eoff, Ka-leb Smith and Adam Smercina, all of whom graduated last summer.
But the team does have nine re-turning lettermen, led by seniors Michael Hasselbach (distance), Jake Hetrick (sprints) and A.J. Skojac (dis-cus, shot) and others like Zach Sea-man (distance), Dalton Reau (discus,
shot), Josh Chambers (sprints, pole vault), Chris Tabbert (hurdles) and Cliff Biggert (sprints), athletes that serve a variety of roles.
The team, which consists of 20 un-derclassmen, will need, according to head coach Andy Augsburger, qual-ity leadership from its juniors and seniors if it wants to be successful. The younger athletes, especially the freshman class, which won the San-dusky Bay Conference (SBC) at the 8th-grade level last season, are quite talented and give the program hope
for the future. Augsburger credits the junior-high program with having turned out a number of athletes in recent years.
As far as the conference is con-cerned, Augsburger sees Perkins, the six-time reigning SBC champion, as the league favorite with Clyde, Huron and Edison set to challenge the Pi-rates for conference supremacy.
“It’s such a fight in the SBC,” said Augsburger. “It’s so competitive, (but) I’m excited. We’re going to be competitive.”

Boys team looks to replace grads
BY YANEEK SMITH
John McKitrick has built quite a program at Oak Harbor.
During his tenure with the Rockets, McKitrick has overseen a program that remains consistently competitive in the SBC and has won back-to-back and three of the last four league titles.
And while this year’s team is expect-ed to remain competitive, it will have to replace its share of great athletes like Kayla Diefenthaler, Kia Frank, Caitlyn Harvey, Emily Tice, Marlee Carpenter, Kelly Bryant and Dayna Setzler.
“Every year we’re going to graduate kids,” said McKitrick. “It’s about how we replace them. The junior high sent us a nice group of freshman this year.”
The Rockets have 13 returning let-
ter winners, led by Morgan Turnow, who was sixth in Division II in the discus last season. Allie Dombrowsky and Alexis Huntebrinker will look to complement Turnow as the squad’s elite competitors. In fact, Dom-browsky won the 300 hurdles and Alexis Huntebrinker was second in the 100 hurdles at the SBC Meet last year.
Other returning letter winners in-clude seniors Amber Moomey (pole vault) and Sinae Choe (relays) as well as Jordan Giesler (discus, shot), Allie Dresser (sprints), Sydney Allen (sprints), Trinity Gephart (distance), Nikki Weis (hurdles), Sydney St. Clair (relays), Coral Peterson (dis-tance) and Kaylie Hallett-Szymanski (sprints).
McKitrick is confident that this group, along with the newly-arrived freshman, can help the Rockets to remain competitive in the SBC. Ac-cording to McKitrick, St. Mary CC, which finished second at the confer-ence meet last season, could emerge as the top team in the league.
“We have some nice additions this year that are going to fill in some spots for,” he said. “Those 13 return-ing letter winners have expanded their roles. Instead of focusing on one or two events, we’ve asked some ath-letes to expand their roles.
“We have 31 kids — a good, work-able number. We have kids that are willing to buy into the system. The kids just want to be part of a program that’s competitive.”
Another good year expected for ladies
What the boys track team may lack in experience, they more than make up for in numbers. Coach Seth Benner has a total of 43 athletes out for track and field in 2012.
“There are 18 freshmen on the roster, so we won’t re-ally be able to hide our youth,” says Coach Benner. The Redskins return 9 lettermen to the squad that finished 7th in the SBC in 2011. Cody Smith will be our leader in the
throws. Brock Moore and
Justyn Holmes should prove to be tough sprinters. The distance crew is made up of a lot of youngsters so we need to be patient with them. I have no doubt they will pro-duce.”
Seth Benner has the same assistant coaching crew for both the boys and girls teams. They include Mallory My-ers, Phil Fought and Jeff Karner.

NEW LISTING
Officials at Materion Elmore have enlisted the assistance of Terra State Community College to ensure that an adequate and constant supply of skilled trades people is available to them.
“The ability to find and attract fully qualified trades people has been increasingly difficult,” Ran-dall Drummond, plant manager, said in a statement. “This fact, along with the additional facts that less people are going into the trades with multiple skills and our current trades’ workforce is aging, led us to the realization that we needed to develop a long term flexible plan to attract and develop trades people internally at Elmore in addition to our nor-mal recruiting efforts.”
Materion has developed the Skilled Trades Entry Program. It consists of a three-tier approach to allow people of various me-chanical and electrical skills or specific educational background to gain entry and develop into fully qualified trades personnel.
Terra President Dr. Marsha S. Bordner has been involved in the process with Materion and sees considerable benefits for both sides.
“Materion is one of the most forward-looking businesses in our region,” she said. “Their will-ingness to work with Terra is just one example of their leadership and willingness to be innova-tive. This partnership works for both our students and their busi-ness.”
The first two tiers involve those who have years of experience and certain skill sets (C1 and C2). The third tier, designated C4 and called Two-Year Degree (2YD), attracts people with a pre-defined associate’s degree in either the mechanical or electrical technical fields as developed with Terra.
The recognized degrees are: Manufacturing Engineering — Manufacturing Technology Ma-jor or Mechanical Engineering Technology Major, and Electric-ity — Power and Controls Major.
The two-year degreed hires will work at Elmore for hands-on training experience in conjunc-tion with specifically developed, technically focused training that will be required and provided at Terra or a similarly defined and accepted academic institution. A committee consisting of internal Elmore trade’s management and
Human Resources will monitor and administer the program to ensure people hired into the pro-gram make required progress and develop into fully-qualified C1 trades personnel.
“Similar to what the previous Apprenticeship Program pro-vided as opportunities to gain entrance to the skilled trades, we feel this will also be an opportu-nity for employees and external candidates by offering both a less than fully qualified and an academic route into the trades,” Drummond said. “By developing and offering new avenues of en-try, we feel that the skilled trades program will be a viable and re-invigorated program to benefit the company both short and long term.”
In addition to their work on the education component, fac-ulty members at Terra have been working with Materion staff in developing and implementing an electrical maintenance appren-ticeship assessment program.
Nicholas Elchert (Instructor/Programmable Logic Control-lers) and Jeffery Hamilton (In-structor/Motor Controls) have been developing hands-on as-
sessment components that will be used to help Materion assess the skills required by their facil-ity to advance within the skilled trades program.
Terra will become a third-party testing facility.
“This partnership is an example of how Terra is helping a local
industry benefit from the physi-cal and intellectual resources we have to offer,” Elchert said.
John Carpenter (Instructor, Automotive/Power Technolo-gies) and Kevin Walker (Machine Lab Supervisor) will be provid-ing mechanical hands-on assess-ments.

You’ve got until April 17 to contribute to your Individual Retirement Account
(IRA) for the 2011 tax year. That’s not a lot of time, but if you have some money
available, and you haven’t completely funded your IRA for 2011, consider do-ing so before the deadline. And once you’ve “maxed out” on your IRA for last year, why not get a jump on 2012?
Actually, you could have started contributing to your 2012 IRA as early as Jan. 2. In fact, if you can get into the habit of fully funding your IRA each January, you’ll give your money 15 extra months of growth potential, as opposed to waiting until mid-April of the following year. If you factor in all the years you’ll be contributing to your IRA before you retire, those extra months of growth opportunities, repeated over decades, could end up providing you with a fair amount of extra cash when you start tapping into your
IRA at retirement.Of course, you may not find it all that
easy to come up with the full IRA con-tribution amount at one time. (In 2012, you can put up to $5,000 into a Roth or traditional IRA, or $6,000 if you’re 50 or older.) But if you look at your entire financial picture, you may be able to think of some resources. Here are a few sugges-tions:
• Put your tax refund to work. In 2011, the average tax refund was about $3,000, according to the IRS. If you received that amount in 2012, and you applied it toward your IRA, you would already have met half the contribution limit (if you are 50 or older) or more than half (if you’re younger than 50).
• Take advantage of interest payments or dividends. If you own income-producing investments, you may find that they can help you fund your IRA early. For example, if you own dividend-paying stocks, and you don’t typically reinvest the dividends, consider putting some of these funds into your IRA. (Keep in mind, though, that stocks can reduce or discon-tinue dividends at any time). And you can do the same thing with any interest payments you receive from bonds.
• Put other “windfalls” into your IRA. If you receive a windfall, such as a bonus from your employer or a gift of cash, think about putting it into your IRA.
If none of these options present them-selves, and you can’t afford to write out a big check to fund your IRA very early in the year, do the best you can to reach the contribution limit as soon as possible. To make this happen, consider setting up a monthly automatic transfer from your checking or savings account into your IRA. Even if you were to divide these transfers into 15 equal payments totaling $5,000 (or $6,000 if you’re 50 or older), you would still be funding your IRA more quickly than if you would have scrambled to contribute in the last few months be-fore the tax filing deadline.
No matter when you do it, fully fund-ing your IRA is a great way to help build resources for retirement. But the earlier, the better — so do whatever you can to beat that tax deadline each year.
