Port Clinton City Council voted five to one to take another step in converting the 14-acre parcel that includes Waterworks Park and the abandoned Waterworks building into a commercially viable devel-opment. URS Corp. has been hired to de-velop a master plan for the area.

LUCAS OIL PRO PULLING LEAGUE
See TRACTOR 7A
By ANGIE ADAIREditor
A local tractor pulling team recently brought home the Lucas Oil Pro Pulling League National Points Championship. The season started June 11 and wrapped up Sept. 11 at Lucas Oil Speedway in Wheatland, Mo.
“I just had to show up at the last event,” said driver Jeff Hirt, 30. “We won the first event and were second at the last event.”
Hirt started pulling at age 15 but the sport started much earlier for the fam-
ily. His father, Bill Hirt, who owns Bill’s Implement Sales in Port Clinton, started pulling around 1972.
The team — and each of the pulling events around the country — have a real
family feel according to Jeff and his sis-ter, Julie Overmyer. Her husband works with Jeff and her Dad on the team with maintenance of the tractor, keeping the engine up and running and, according to Jeff, “looking for little stupid things that could take you out of the event.” The family travels together throughout the summer to events from New York to North Carolina and Missouri and several stops in between.

What is left?In his article, “What Role Is Left For
Religion?” in the Nov. 4 Beacon, Kurt Burrows refers to the present as the Or-wellian Period. He states that he “cannot
remember a time when religious beliefs and Biblical ethics and morals have been under such frontal attack from so many venues.”
I respectfully disagree. Burrows men-tions he is in his seventh decade. I am only in my sixth, but it is apparent to me that he has failed to observe what has really happened in our lifetimes.
I remember when lynch-ing black people was not uncommon in the South, and few religious leaders would say anything about it. I had a friend in the fifth grade who, along with his mother, was a victim of domestic violence at the hands of his father, and whose mother was counseled by her pastor to keep quiet. I remember when contemporary music of the 1950s, as well as other simple celebrations of youthful human spirit, were frequently attacked from the pulpit as works of the devil. What Biblical ethics and morals does Burrows think were actually in place 50 years ago?
An effective way to evaluate today’s morals is to observe today’s youth. I’ve
never before seen a time in which young people so readily show compassion for one another, particularly when someone has suffered a tragedy. In terms of ethnic-ity, basic beliefs, physical characteristics and emotional orientation, what group of people in human history has ever been as tolerant as today’s young people? But the best thing about them is their curi-osity. The desire to know, to explore, to learn is unparalleled. So much more than any generation that has ever gone before them, their eyes light up at the prospect of taking delight in our Universe.
Are there problems? Of course. As always, human behavior is fraught with opportunity to make a mess of things, and every generation does to some extent. But to define the role of religion in terms of the intentions of our nation’s found-ers requires a severely myopic view of history. Our founders were not attempt-ing to establish religious principals. They were, in fact, attempting to establish basic human rights for the first time in history against a backdrop of thousands of years of denial of those rights, often by religious institutions.
One thing our wise founders knew is that real religion should never have a defining role, which was why they made sure it was kept separate from govern-ment. Real religion involves worship, compassion and respect. Real religion is far too busy dynamically participating in everyday human activity to be both-ered assuming some sort of coordinating position over our personal values as we explore, each in our own way, the pursuit of happiness.

John Braun Park GrantJohn Braun Park on Catawba has sub-
mitted a grant to Pepsi Cola for money to improve the park for the community. Each month Pepsi accepts 1,000 grant applications for six different categories. John Braun has submitted for “neighbor-hoods,” which will make any neighbor-hood a better place to live. John Braun has submitted for a $250,000 grant of which there will be two winners. The park has been notified it is a finalist and the grant is in the voter’s hands.
The park board is asking all residents of the area to go to “Refresheverything.com” and register as a voter. Voters are allowed
up to 10 votes per day during the voting period. Limit one registration per person/email address. The voting period will be from Nov. 1-30. The more votes the park gets, the better its chance of winning the money.
Since the park is a non-profit organiza-tion, it does not receive funding from the state or township. Money donated by individuals and what is raised from a trust fund is all that it gets to keep the park going. The new money would help build a 30’ x 40’ storage building with a conces-sion stand, purchase baseball mix, bleach-ers, backstop, resurface and stripe tennis and basketball courts and the parking lot, update playground equipment and much more.
This can only happen with your help. The park asks that you go to Refreshevfer-ything.com, register, click on “neighbor-hoods,” $250,000 and vote each day for the time allowed and to pass this on to your friends and associates who might also make a major contribution to our success. For those who text, you may text your vote by sending to 73774 (spells Pepsi) with the following text message idea code number: 104115. Your vote will be cast for the John Braun Park idea.
You can find John Braun Park on Face-book ([email protected]) and check to see what is happening with the grant and the overall park in general.
The Park Board sincerely hopes you will support our endeavor and help make the park better. Show your pride for John Braun Park.
Thank you for your help.Larry SchultzPresident, John Braun Park
Mainstream mediaAs a perfect example why the main
stream media is so pathetic one only had to watch 60 Minutes with Steve Kroft interviewing President Obama. The Presi-dent was complaining that the Republica-tions wouldn’t cooperate with his agenda. Steve Kroft should have asked why would that matter. You control the House and the Senate. Few in the media hold him responsible.
The media is supposed to be the sentry for our freedoms but that is no longer the case.

Display at historical museum will focus on local churches
The Ottawa County Histori-cal Museum has just sent its latest newsletter and it is an interesting one. Rosann Graves, along with the curator of the museum, Peggy Debien, have just finished cleaning up a piano that formerly belonged to Rosann’s uncle, the Rev. Harold Boggs. Boggs used this piano not only to prepare for church wor-ship but also to compose Christian music and Rosann donated it to the museum. The piano had been stored by Park McRitchie until the addition to the museum was completed. Now the piano (along with photos and album covers) will center an exhibit featuring local churches.
If you’re not a member of the Heritage Foundation that owns the museum on Third Street at Port Clinton, this would be a good time to join. And volunteers are always welcome too. You’ll be just in time to assist with a traveling photographic exhibit of the Great Depression and the New Deal in Ohio. The local members are collecting news articles, stories and photos of Ottawa County in the 1930s. If you have items or information to share, call the cura-tor at 419-732-1039. The Ida Rupp Library will be hosting programs on this subject and the Ottawa County Historical Society is taking oral histories of people who lived in that era. Now is a good time to join in and help to chronicle this fascinating history.
Here is the final item from the Foundation’s newsletter. It says: “Did you know that the National Archives has digitized documents that you can order online? Their records include: land files, immigration and naturalization records, court records, WWI draft registration cards, Native American records and more. They can be ordered (for a fee) at archives.gov/order or by calling 1-800-234-8861.

Does anyone besides me feel dis-combobulated on a day or two after the time change? I know, I know. We gained an hour of sleep. Just the same, the days don’t feel quite right after the “fall back” to Eastern Daylight Time from Daylight Savings Time. Frankly I wish the powers that be would just leave the time alone. I don’t see the value of switching things around twice a year. “Spring
ahead.” “Fall back.” Why? I’d really like to know. Why don’t they just pick out one of them and stick with it?

The elevator leading to the Second floor Fellowship Hall — and other facilities — at Trinity United Meth-odist Church, Port Clinton, has been completely repaired. The elevator was “down” for a while. The congre-gation generously gave the funds to have it repaired. The elevator makes a big difference in accessibility for use of the building.

This Thursday, Nov. 11, is Veterans’ Day. It is a day set aside for all of us to remember the work and sacrifices of those persons who ever were in military service. If you are grateful to have your freedom, thank a Veteran. And I would add to that, we should also thank the families of veterans because of the sacrifices they made on behalf of the person who was away to serve our nation.

I was very pleased to see an article on the importance of humor and laughter in a recent issue of EAP Newsnotes, the newsletter of the Summit Employee Assistance Pro-gram. The article was called “Laugh your way to Success.” The author interviewed people and noted seven characteristics of those who have a good sense of humor, enjoyed life, smiled and laughed. Here are some of the ideas. These people:
• Can laugh at themselves• Like surprises• Believe they deserve to be happy• Assume responsibility for their
own happiness• Enjoy being warm and friendly• Know how to take good care of
themselves• Act spontaneously and are sensi-
tive to othersThe writer, Mr. Czimbal, recom-
mends that workplaces develop a “humor policy” that makes a clear distinction between hostility and humor.” That seems like a good idea.
I really liked this article because humor is important in my life and I love to hear people laugh. But I will say this, humor isn’t helpful in every situation.
I do know people who cover up hostility and resentment with hu-mor. Sometimes humor directed at others (or at the expense of others) is downright mean.
I also know some folks who cover up their need to hide their own personalities with one joke after another. You cannot get close to
them. They will not discuss anything personal — they are too busy crack-ing jokes to let anyone else see inside their real personalities.
Perhaps the most offensive humor I’ve heard lately is someone who offered a prayer at a public gather-ing and put a joke (poking fun of someone else) at the end of it right before the “Amen.” It got some ner-vous laughter — from some people — and some raised eyebrows from others. It was totally an inappropri-ate time and place for that kind of comment.
So, humor is great if we use and enjoy it wisely. If it’s hurtful or inap-propriate, there is definitely some-thing wrong with it.

Did you know that a wonderful sterling silver baptismal cup has been put on display at the Lake Erie Island Historical Museum? This cup, about 3 inches tall, was given by Jay Cooke to a new resident of Put-in-Bay, Elizabeth Jane Hollway, when she was baptized at what is now St. Paul’s Episcopal Church on the island. This was the third baptism at the church and took place on Oct. 8, 1865. Elizabeth later married (in 1893) and moved away. Donor Jay Cooke was a very wealthy man, a financier of the Civil War. He had a home in Sandusky and a magnificent sum-mer place on Gibraltar Island in the Put-in-Bay harbor. The baptismal cup will remain at the museum until an appropriate display can be done at the church. Elizabeth Hollway was the first infant baptized at the church who survived to adulthood.

There were some milestone mark-ers last week. On Tuesday night, we had a heavy killing frost. Up until then flowers were still blooming and there were a few vegetables still coming out of the garden. That’s mostly all over now — although a couple of heads of cabbage remain out there. That will be just enough to make some halupki (stuffed cabbage rolls). I picked the last rose — a pink one — and brought it into the house and put it into a bud vase. I’m still enjoying that last flower of the sea-son. I pulled the last of the piddling little red beets that never amounted to much and cleaned them. Though very small, they still tasted very good after being roasted. On Friday, Nov 5, I saw a few flakes of snow in the late afternoon. It seems that summer is really over and that now we are headed for winter.

On Thursday, Oct. 21, Port Clinton High School stu-dents in Carla Pelz’s Digital Media Class and Karen Fer-dinandsen’s journalism class visited 13 Action News in Toledo. The students were on set for a live taping of the noon news. Afterward, they spoke with reporters, visited with the producer and director of the newscast. The trip provided the opportunity to learn about the many facets of a live news broadcast such as producing, editing and commercials. News anchor Susan Ross-Wells and meteo-rologist Jay
Berschback also met with the students to answer ques-tions about their roles in the news broadcast.
Michael Vollmer, Sean Black, meteorologist Jay Bersch-back, Ken Bacon and Adam Sebastiano stop for a photo on the set of 13 ABC News.

Judy Maher’s third grade class of Immaculate Conception School visited the Toledo Art Museum and viewed “Beau-tiful Creatures.” They were taken on a tour to locate beautiful creatures in Egyptian statues, Picasso’s “Lady & the Cat” and the masterpiece of St. George and the Dragon. Students were allowed to take time and see other art works, one that seemed to follow them with its eyes and one whose foot seemed to move as you did. They also located many religious sculptures and paintings of interest. Students then created their own beautiful creatures in art class at Immaculate Conception School. Pictured are Lohany Arambula, Lissa Gillman, Michael Helmer, Elena Kessler, Mason McDougall, Hannah Paeth, Sierra Robinette, J.T. Saffran, Cooper Stine, Selena Titta, Sam Walker and Zachary Weldon.

Magruder Hospital has recently added a new service to benefit the health needs of the community. The Magruder Hospital Pain M a n a g e m e n t Clinic is now ac-cepting patients under the care of Dr. Adam Hedaya, a pain m a n a g e m e n t specialist trained in interventional pain medicine from Mount Sinai Hospital in New York. Hedaya is a member of Midwest Pain Physicians, an alliance of board-cer-
tified pain management physicians providing service in hospital-based pain management clinics.
“We offer some of the most ad-vanced treatments available today for pain management. These treatments are more tolerable and less invasive than in the past,” said Hedaya. “Mil-lions of people suffer from chronic pain that affects their daily activities, pain management is proven and ef-fective at getting people back to a normal life.”
Among the conditions to be treat-ed at the clinic are: neck pain, back pain, sciatica, post-surgical pain, headaches, arthritis pain in the neck and lower back, reflex sympathetic
dystrophy, nerve damage or muscle spasm pain, chronic pelvic and shin-gles pain.
In treating these conditions, Hedaya works with referring physicians and many other specialty groups.
“The relationships we develop with patients, their physicians and other specialists will make this clinic a center of expertise people can trust. Having a resource like this in Ottawa County will be a great convenience for many of our patients,” said He-daya.
In most cases, pain management services are covered by insurance. For information or to schedule an ap-pointment, call 419-732-3972.

The speaker this year is Tom Farnquist, executive director of the Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum in White Fish Point, who is the foremost authority on this shipwreck.
There will also be a unique presentation by David Mek-ker from Ontario, Canada, which will feature the “Alvin Clark” narrated by Joyce Hayward, founder of the Ship-wreck Banquet who passed away in August 2009. This was a program she prepared but never had an opportunity to present.
The 2010 Underwater Images Photo/Video Contest win-ners will be announced by organizer Roger Roth during the Banquet Program.
There will also be presentations during the afternoon which include technical div-ing expert Sue Smith’s expe-rience diving on the USS Monitor and a recent video will be shown by renowned shipwreck hunter, David Trotter on “The Mighty Goliath.” Trotter’s new pro-gram, “Fury of the Lakes,”
will also be part of the Banquet Program. Georgann Wachter, co-author of Erie Wrecks series of
books will be presenting “Sidewheel Steemers, Disasters of the Great Lakes,” in the afternoon as well as woman diver Hall of Fame Jill Heinerth who will share her high-tech experiences of cave and iceberg diving titled “Challenging the Unknown.”
Heinerth is also presenting a workshop on re-breathers in the morning for those who are interested in the future of scuba diving with this underwater breathing apparatus.
The Banquet Program will be held in the Wilderness Hall ballroom at Sawmill Creek Resort, Huron. Banquet tick-ets are now on sale through PayPal at the Bay Area Divers website, www.bayareadivers.net, or you may order tickets directly through Michelle Stoffan at [email protected].

Surgeon leading program on acid reflux treatment
Magruder Hos-pital’s new general surgeon, Dr. Isidro Amigo, will present an educational pro-gram on treating acid reflux with minor surgery and some of the new minimally invasive surgeries now being offered at Magruder. The pro-gram will be held at noon Monday, Nov. 15, in the hospital’s conference center.
“I think most people are unaware of a
minimally invasive surgical procedure that is a treatment option for acid reflux. This information is especially important for people who can no longer manage their reflux disease with medicine, or just don’t want to take medications the rest of their life,” said Amigo. “I will also be briefly ex-plaining the benefits of all the new mini-mally invasive surgeries that are now avail-able to Magruder patients.”
There is a lunch available for $6, other-wise the program is free to anyone inter-ested. An RSVP is required and can be made by calling 419-732-4061 by Friday, Nov. 12.

“Regardless of us being around since 1886, there are still people who don’t know we exist. They don’t real-ize what’s available to them,” she said in an interview Monday.
The office provides assistance in get-ting benefits from the Department of Veterans Affiars such as disability and widows pensions, the War Bo-nus, home loan guantanty and pre-scriptions, among others. The staff also helps get a hold of military doc-umentation, gives various medical and safety products to vets and their familes and provides flags, grave markers and flag cases for the funerals of county veterans. Financial assis-tance is available to those eligible for rent, utilities and other basic needs. Trans-portation is also offered to VA medical facilities and Ohio State Veterans homes — at no cost. And though the amount of veterans in the county is dropping, the
amount of money coming to the area is ron the rise. In 1999, $2.3 million came into Ottawa County in com-pensation and pensions for 4,767 vets. Last year, almost $5 million was doled out to 3.837 county veterans.
“Theoretically we’re helping not only the veterans but the county,” De Ann said. “All that money comes back to Ottawa County.”
Another growing sector at the office is the staff, which has gone up since De Ann’s arrival. She leads a team that includes an additional veterans ser-vice officer, an intake/outreach spe-cialist, an administrative assistant and
four drivers — all who share close ties with the military. The office is gov-erned by Ohio Revised Code 5901 which mandates employees be veter-ans or a spouse or child of a vet.
“If anyone’s to understand a veteran it’s another veteran,” De Ann said.
It’s that understanding that fuels the outreach efforts of the office. De Ann speaks to local service organiza-tions, schools and today will take part in Veterans Day ceremonies in part to get the word out.
“We want to make sure they receive the maximum benefits ... not just vet-erans but surviving spouses,” she said.
VETERANS from 1A
Clinton’s economic development plan, the water-front and the downtown areas.
5 — To include a marina as part of the overall Port Clinton experience.
6 — To define the role of City Council as the entity setting the framework for economic development, ad-dressing zoning codes, standards and funding.
The steps were laid out in a report from Mayor Deb-bie Hymore-Tester, which also outlined the steps that have been taken since 2004 to move the project for-ward.
In her report, the Mayor outlined the first move — developing a zoning overlay for the downtown/wa-terfront district — which was accomplished in 2004. In a contested citywide vote, the Waterworks property itself was rezoned for general business by a two-thirds margin in 2007. It was during 2007 when the Puller Group from Indianapolis had a proposal approved for a six-story Hotel/Marina/Waterpark complex. Puller later pulled out in March of 2008.
Undaunted, Tester has continued to pursue other ideas such as making the property ready for develop-ment and seeking new sources of funding. The City hired consultants to review the land use challenges and later revised the Site Plan for the property.
The city has also investigated possible tax incentives and zoning regulations, including a Planned Unit De-velopment within the 14-acre area which may make it more attractive and cost effective to both the city and a potential developer.
According to Tester, the latest move will advance the Waterfront Development Project by coordinating the planning, preparing a flexible development framework plan, identifying infrastructure costs, create funding opportunities and provide an attractive package for soliciting more developer proposals when market con-ditions improve.

The Salvation Army kicked off its an-nual Red Kettle campaign Thursday with a breakfast event at the Island House in downtown Port Clinton. City and county officials, social service agency staffers, business representatives and volunteers gathered to hear the goal the organiza-tion’s largest fundraiser of the year.
Although need is up around the area, so were donations last year leading to a record-breaking collection in Ottawa County. This year, Salvation Army officials are hoping for the same amount, setting the county’s goal at $53,000. For the five-county region Ottawa County is a part of, the goal is $520,000 — up $15,000 to $20,000 from last year. Last year, the funds raised during the Red Kettle collection went to help more than 200,000 residents in the region.
“It’s my third season and I’m still
amazed,” said Maureen Saponari, Human Services Director for the Salvation Army’s Port Clinton Service Center.
To sign up to ring the bell, or for infor-mation on any of Salvation Army’s holiday programs, call Saponari at 419-734-2769.

The Musical Arts Series at Firelands presents the Max Brod Trio on its American debut tour at 3 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 14, at Firelands Presby-terian Church, 2626 E. Har-bor Road, Port Clinton. The trio of Peter Matejak on vi-olin, Kirsten Strassburg on piano and Maximilian von Pfeil on cello will perform a chamber concert of music by Shubert, Debussy and Shostakovich.
The Max Brod trio was formed during European Union-sponsored inter-cultural concerts in 2005. The trio is comprised of musicians from the Czech Republic and Germany, each with a distinguished international solo career and chamber music exper-tise. The trio takes its name from the renowned Czech writer, biographer/friend of Kafka and composer, who combined German, Czech and Jewish cultures. The trio continues this tradition and strives to provide an ar-tistic contribution to inter-cultural exchange and un-derstanding through music.
The Sunday afternoon concert will open with a work by Franz Shubert, who in his short lifetime wrote more than chamber works. The Max Brod Trio will per-form Shubert’s Trio in B flat major, Op. 99, described by Robert Schumann in these words: “One glance at Op. 99 and the troubles of our human existence disappear and the world is bright and fresh again.”
Following the Shubert trio will be Claude Debussy’s Trio No. 1 in G Major for Piano, Violin and Violin-cello, which, though writ-ten in the 1880s, was not discovered until 1979 in an auction of manuscripts. In early 1880, Debussy had been hired as a “house pia-nist” for a wealthy widow to play piano duets with his patroness, accompany her daughter who was an amateur singer, give piano lessons to another daugh-ter, and play in a trio with a Russian violinist and cellist. In a letter to Tchaikovsky, Debussy’s patroness wrote of the Trio No. 1, “Pianist Bussy … is working on a trio which is very pretty
and reminiscent of Mass-enet.” The trio’s charm and warmth of melody give it strong appeal to audiences.
The program will close with the Shostakovich Trio No. 2 in E Minor, Op. 67, which was written in 1944 and reflects the tense and tragic mood of the war years. This work is consid-ered one of the most bril-liant contributions to Soviet and contemporary music during World War II.
Following the concert will be a reception at which the audience may meet and greet the performers. Tick-ets are available at the door for $15; students may at-tend for free. This concert is sponsored by The Musical Arts Series at Firelsnds and WGTE, with hotel spon-sorship through Our Guest Inn. More information is available at www.fireland-schurch.org.

By PAT LUKACThe Tiffin University Hall of
Fame opened its doors for the first time in February 1995, and ever since the annual Induction Ceremonies have been the high-light of the athletic year. Each year at Homecoming, a new class is honored. These honorees have made tremendous contributions to TU athletics. They have made their mark both individually and for the university with their commitment, energy, talents and dedication — setting the high standards for which other ath-letes can aim.
Joe Macko, age 82, was inducted into the 2010 Tiffin University Hall of Fame on Friday, Oct. 22, at the Gillmor Center.
Macko was born and raised in Port Clinton. Attending this cer-emony with Macko was his son Mike, niece Pat Lukac and first cousin John Papcun. Macko and his son flew in from Arlington, Texas, for the special event and enjoyed spending the weekend visiting with his sister, brother-in-law, nieces, nephews and some old school friends.
Once one of the minor league’s all-time home run kings, with a
career total of 306, Macko quit baseball in 1964 to work for Hamm’s beer.
He never made the big leagues as a player, but, in 1953, he hit 11 home runs in spring training with Cleveland.
Macko’s best year was in 1956, when he hit 36 homers and scored 100 runs for the Dallas Eagles. He liked the area and so did his family. When Dick Butler offered him a job as business manager of the Dallas-Fort Worth Spurs after his stint in the bear suit, Macko quickly accepted. He eventually became GM of the Spurs.
When the Senators moved to Arlington in 1972, Macko finally made the big leagues. For most of the next 29 seasons, he served as either the home or visitors’ club-house manager.
While at Port Clinton, Joe earned five varsity letters, four in basketball and one in football. He was the first freshman to play on a varsity basketball team and led the team in scoring in 1946. He earned a scholarship to Tiffin University in baseball and basket-ball.
Macko has had a 61-year career in professional baseball. He at-
tended Tiffin University in 1947, excelling in both baseball and basketball during that period. He signed a professional baseball contract with the Cleveland In-dians in 1947 and played for the Indians and the Chicago Cubs for a total of 16 seasons, finish-ing as the 10th leading home run hitter in the minor leagues with 306 home runs. Following his playing days, Macko managed four years in the Chicago Cubs organization, gaining experience as a business manager and gen-eral manager before serving as equipment manager for the Tex-as Rangers for 23 years. Macko — already elected to the Kansas Baseball Hall of Fame (1982), Port Clinton Hall of Fame in 1996 and the Texas Baseball Hall of Fame (1984) — was inducted into the Texas League Hall of Fame in 2001 and still serves as a Lifetime Ambassador for the Texas Rangers. He resides in Ar-lington, Texas.
On Friday, Oct. 22, the Texas Rangers beat the Tampa Bay Yan-kees. The Rangers’ advancement marks the first time that the fran-chise has appeared in the World Series in its 50-year history.

The Marblehead VFW Post 7572 proudly honored the Danbury High School football team at the 65th con-secutive banquet at the post on Saturday, Nov. 6. Also honored was the memory of Cal Twarek, past com-mander and former master of ceremonies for the banquet.

On Oct. 26, the Ohio Economic Development Association rec-ognized the transition center at Silgan Plastics in Port Clinton as an outstanding program among those nominated for Excellence in Investing in People.
In OEDA’s Third Annual Excel-lence Award program, the tran-sition center’s nomination was the runner up to the winner, The Health Careers collaborative of Greater Cincinnati. There were five other Excellence award cat-egories.
The transition center, operated by WSOS Community Action Commission, is a partnership of the Ottawa County Improvement Corporation, Ottawa County commissioners and the Ottawa County Department of Job and Family Services. It is made possi-ble by funding from the county’s
DJFS.When Silgan Plastics an-
nounced its closing of the Port Clinton plant, community lead-ers searched for a plan to help the dislocated workers. DJFS pro-vided the funds and WSOS was appointed to do the work.
The transition center allows the approximately 150 affected workers and their families’ access to services, which is particularly helpful during what can be a dif-ficult transition. One unique aspect of the center is a peer-to-peer service that connects the dislocated Silgan Plastics worker with a local, Ottawa County in-dividual who has recently experi-enced a lay-off or downsizing.
Dale Blount and Dennis Peto are the peer counselors who pro-vide the assistance to develop re-sumes, learn interviewing skills,
job search assistance, financial planning and anything else they may need. Blount and Peto both have personal experiences with downsizing and layoffs.
Since June, 2010, OCIC has provided the leadership of the center and is the liaison between Silgan Plastics management and employers interested in hiring workers. OCIC’s assistance is in addition to the workforce devel-opment services the organization already provides through its rela-tionship with the Ottawa County Department of Job and Family Services.
OEDA is an organization that supports efforts by state, regional and local governments and other organizations to strengthen the economic environment, foster employment growth and expand economic opportunities for the
state.

The dental office and staff of Dr. Gary Greunke have welcomed Debra Lowe, DMD, to the practice at 327 Buckeye Blvd., Port Clinton. Lowe brings with her 25 years of experi-ence in all phases of general den-tistry. A graduate of Case-Western Reserve, she took her general den-tistry residency at Cleveland Metro General Hospital, then built a suc-cessful private practice in Mayfield before taking some time off to be a full-time mom to her two children. Most recently she has been practicing in the Mentor area. She and her husband, Pat, are long-time vacationers in the Port Clinton/Marble-head area and look forward to making it their permanent home.
Lower will begin taking appointments on Nov. 22 and new patients are welcome. The office number is 419-734-5574.

November is a popular month for “open enrollment” — that time when you can choose from the options offered in your employer’s benefits package. By making the right moves in some key areas — such as your 401(k) and life insurance — you can help protect your family and boost your progress toward your long-term financial goals.
Let’s consider your 401(k) first. If you haven’t taken part in your 401(k) plan, you need to review the benefits of this excellent retirement-savings vehicle. First, you contribute pre-tax dollars to your 401(k), so the more you put in, the lower your adjusted gross income — and the lower your annual tax bill. Also, your 401(k) earnings accumulate on a tax-deferred basis. Further-
more, your employer may offer a matching contribution, and if you’re not participating in your plan or not putting in enough to earn the match, you’re essentially leaving money “on the table.”
So, if you’re not already invest-ing in your 401(k), now is the time to get started. And if you’ve already been putting money in your 401(k), you may want to use the open enrollment period to increase your contributions or to rebalance your investment choices in response to changes in investment performance or in your goals or risk tolerance. Of course, depending on your plan, you may also be able to make changes in your 401(k) at other times in the year.
During open enrollment, you’ll also want to look at your insur-
ance choices. Your employer may offer a certain amount of life insurance, and possibly disability insurance, at no cost. Clearly, this coverage can be beneficial — but is it enough to meet your family’s needs?
To answer this question, you’ll need to review at least three key areas of your family’s finances:
• Debts — Try to calculate your overall debt load — mortgage, car payments, credit cards and so on.
• Education — If you are plan-ning on helping your children pay for college, try to estimate these costs. Keep in mind the considerable differences in ex-penses between colleges: public versus private and in-state versus out-of-state. Keep in mind that
college costs have been rising faster than the overall cost of living.
• Income replacement — Try to determine about how much of your income would need to be replaced for your family to maintain its current lifestyle.
Once you’ve made these types of calculations, you’ll be in a better position to know if the life and disability coverage offered by your employer is sufficient to meet your needs. You might be able to purchase additional in-surance through your employer, but even this coverage may not be enough. That’s why you may want to work with a professional financial advisor — someone who can help you identify any gaps that may exist in your cov-erage and recommend any addi-
tional coverage to fill this void. You may also find other ad-
vantages to individually owned insurance, such as portability — you can take your policy with you, no matter where you work — and affordability — you may find that some policies, particu-larly term life insurance, may be less costly than the supplemental insurance you could purchase from your employer.
So, review both your insur-ance situation and your 401(k) plan during the open enroll-ment calendar. It’s a great time to make those choices that can help you during all the seasons of your life.
