Magruder Hospital renovating ER

Magruder Hospital has started making improvements to its emergency room that will improve the hospitals service to patients and accommodations for emergency personnel. The Board of Trustees recently approved this project and it is estimated to cost the hospital $950,000. The renovation will feature an additional entrance for ambulances, allowing for more private transportation of patients into the hospital. All of the treatment rooms will now be private, another enclosed registration area will be added and a new report room for emergency personnel is all part of the plan. Back in 2009 we added additional exam rooms to our emergency room, and in the process, we had to reclaim space being used by emergency personnel to complete their reports, said Jack Smith, Magruders Director of Facilities Management & Improvement. He said the hospital allocated another area adjacent to the ER for emergency personnel, but it was not as convenient for them as the previous location. We knew we had to get them back in the hospital, so when we began our renovation plans, we included a report room for them, said Smith. Smith went with Mike Long, Magruders President & CEO, to an emergency personnel meeting this summer to presented initial plans for the report room. They were thrilled to be getting space back within the ER. We wanted them to have a say in the design of the space, so we asked them for their input. We have kept in touch with them as we have progressed with the project, said Long. The entire renovation project is scheduled to be complete this summer.
Herman Cain, Joe the Plumber at fairgrounds

Former presidential candidate Herman Cain will join Republican Congressional Candidate Samuel Wurzelbacher at the Ottawa County Fairgrounds at 8:30 p.m. this Friday, Feb. 24. Wurzelbacher became an overnight sensation during the 2008 presidential election when he challenged then-candidate Barak Obama about his tax proposals. Actually it was Obamas answer, wouldnt you like to WURZELBACHER see the money spread around? that created most of the furor. Cain became a popular candidate as recently as December pushing his 9-9-9 plan. He is still a promoter of that tax concept and will speak to it when he appears with Wurzelbach- CAIN er this Friday at the Ottawa County Fairgrounds Banquet Facility. The event is free and open to the public. Cain and Wurzelbacher will be appearing at the Lucas County Lincoln Day Dinner earlier in the evening. The event is being hosted by Joe the Plumber supporters and area Tea Party members throughout Ottawa County. Wurzelbacher will be running for the 9th District Congressional seat against the winner of the primary election battle between a pair of incumbent Democrats: Marcy Kaptur and Dennis Kucinich.
Firefighters doused a blaze in Lakesides pavilion last week.

Fire damages pavilion

Lakeside security guard honored for quick response to blaze
BY ANGIE ZAM Editor Thanks to the fast action of a security staffer and the quick response of fire crews, the pavilion is still standing in Lakeside after a Valentines Day blaze. Security guard Andy Larson said he was doing his final rounds Tuesday night when he saw flames coming out the door of the pavilion. He immediately jumped in his truck and called for help. The Lakeside Fire Department later joined by crews from Marblehead and Catawba was on scene in minutes. According to Tom Derby, Lakesides Chief Financial Officer, their speed made all the difference. That coupled with the firewall doing its job pretty much saved the pavilion, he said. According to Derby, the blaze started in the stairwell on the east side of the pavilion and spread up to the roof. Significant damage was done to that portion of the structure but a firewall kept the flames from going into the central pavilion. Residents and Lakeside leadership took time at their monthly potluck meeting to thank Larson and the fire crews. They gave me a plaque and gift card to Walmart, Larson said. I was really surprised. That gave me a fat head for a day and half. He moved real fast and did the right things and we feel he was a big part of saving the building, Derby said. Our goal now is to get some contractors in this week and get started rebuilding before the season.
Care packages headed to Afghanistan

A Port Clinton area soldier stationed in Afghanistan recently reached out for support and VFW Post 2480 is answering the call. Sgt. Kenneth Bacons unit is collecting school supplies to hand out to the local children. In addition, Bacon pointed out that some men in his unit dont receive care packages from friends and family in the states. The soldiers could use bathing supplies and snacks. Rose Isaacs Port Clinton Kids Care Club has begun working on a campaign to collect the school supplies and requests have been sent out to some local businesses. To make a donation for the kids or the soldiers, a collection box has been set up in the VFW Canteen, 214 Madison St. To have your items picked up, call 419734-9981.

The Beacon begins 30th year

Today is Volume 30, Issue 1 of The Beacon. That means we are beginning our 30th year as a community newspaper serving the people of Ottawa County. Much has changed over the past 29 years since we began publishing in a tiny upstairs office at 106 W. Perry St. in Port Clinton. One big change has been the Internet. Many newspapers have been adversely affected by making choices about what to put online and what not put there. Fortunately for The Beacon, our circulation has remained virtually unchanged for 29 years, while our website has grown dramatically in popularity and readership. For all of you who make reading The Beacon a part of your week, no matter what format you use, we say thank you from the bottom of our hearts. It is you who keep us alive.

Thanks
To the angels in Marblehead: I want to thank all of you for the kindness you gave to my sister, Gail Anderson, in her time of need. You took care of her from the time the breast cancer set in, to losing her job and lastly when the leukemia ravaged her body. Without all of the help you gave her she wouldnt have survived as long or as well as she did. You made sure that she had food, made sure her bills were up to date, some of you gave her odd jobs to do to help with expenses, you gave her love and hope and the friendship only a small town can do. Some of you do not live in Marblehead any more but I still consider you Marblehead Angels. The Ya Yas, the Elves, the Lutherans, the Catholics, the Methodists, the Greek Catholic Byzantine, the Russian Orthodox, the UCC, The Chapel on the Lake and all the rest of you who helped with prayers, gifts, love, work around the house (WOW, what an improvement). If I tried to name all of you I know I would miss many so you know who you are and please accept my utmost thank you. God bless all of you! With love and sincere gratitude, Sharon Mefferd

Hake is a mild-avored white sh native to colder northern seas. Hake is related to cod and whiting and is similar to them in texture and taste. Because Hake is a mild sh, it serves as a good foundation for stronger avorings. Sauteing Hake with lemon, garlic, capers and olives is a great way to enjoy strong Mediterranean avors on a delicious bed of sh.

Economy presents issues for adult children

With all of the economic turmoil, parents are becoming aware of their childrens problems. Mom and dad need to confront these issues with their own estate planning. Here are some examples: DIVORCEYour son or daughter calls and states that things are not going well and that they may file for divorce in the near future. If you die and leave anything to your child shortly before the divorce then your assets could be counted in the childs assets. This happened several years ago. I rewrote the trust leaving the child out of the final distribution. Sure enough, the father died and the daughter in law tried to get to the assets. By preplanning, the assets were protected and eventually got to the sons children. ILLNESSThis is the hardest one to explain. The case is when the adult child has a serious long-term illness. It is anticipated that the child will have large medical bills. If they run out of funds then they may apply for government assistance. In either event, if the parent dies and a large amount of money would pass on the death of the parent, it would immediately go to the payment of medical bills and not be available for the surviving spouse and grandchildren. Preplanning can provide an alternate distribution that would protect your assets and see that the assets get to your loved ones. JOB LOSSYour child, who has done very well and has a large home, suddenly loses his job. The credit card is over the limit and the penalties for mortgage nonpayment make home ownership out of the question with no possibility of sale in sight. If the parent dies, the inheritance is immediately available for all of the excessive charges that have accumulated. Bypassing the child will eliminate the loss of your estate for payment of excessive debts. REAL ESTATE several scenarios. 1. Your child purchased an expensive home and was able to get a 95% loan. You know the rest of the story. With the job loss, many children just quit paying. Sometimes the bank will string the children along and let the debt grow with interest only payments that only compound the problem. 2. Your child has a fixed rate loan. Then, the bank offered an equity loan with a large amount of available credit and a checkbook. Along came a new car and the family vacation. What a great piggy bank. With every check came a larger payment. Soon the limit was reached and the payments were equal to the first mortgage payments. 3. The children are daring. They buy a house for no money down and fix it up with the guarantee of doubling their money. The bank helped with the plan and they are on their way to a fortune. They may even quit their day job it was going to be so lucrative. You know the last chapter of this story. The children still own the house and the mortgage payment has taken all of their other available assets. BANKRUPCTYYour child may have to declare bankruptcy. If you die shortly before or after he files, his share of your estate is immediately available for payment of all of the worthless debt.

BCS seeking renewal levy

In 1991, Benton-Carroll-Salem Local Schools passed a 4.33 mill operating levy. The community has been steadfast in that commitment and has continued to renew that levy four times since then. BCS is looking for the continued financial support of the community on March 6 this year. The Board and Administration are committed to producing a balanced budget while maintaining excellence for the students and district. The renewal of this levy is very important to meet our goal of a balanced budget for next school year, said BCS Board President Jeff Dornbusch. Benton-Carroll-Salem Local Schools is striving to eliminate deficit spending for the next school year after three failed new levy attempts in 2011. However, in May 2011, the state reduced the districts revenue by almost $700,000 for this year and approximately an additional $350,000 for next school year. As BCS leaders looks to the future, they are economizing wherever possible. They are continuing to make reductions in staffing and spending. We are thankful for the past support of the community and looking for their continued support at the same level, Dornbusch said. This renewal will not be a tax increase and will help continue the Excellent rated education the community expects and deserves.

Help PC firefighters in their climb for a cause

Fortunately many of us will never experience the trauma of not being able to take a complete breath. However, those who live in multi-story homes or in an upper-floor apartment understand the issues of carrying a basket of laundry or groceries up a flight or two of stairs. Now imagine climbing 42 flights of stairs, 804 steps, while wearing an extra 40 pounds of firefighter gear. That is exactly what Port Clinton Firefighters Matthew Horn and Jay Edwards will be doing on Saturday, March 3, as they climb Terminal Tower in downtown Cleveland as they participate with others in the American Lung Associations Fight For Air Climb. Horn, a local Chiropractor and lecturer on nutrition and other health topics, was initially intrigued by the challenge after talking to another Port Clinton resident, Joe Camerato. Camerato, a firefighter in Toledo, participated in another climb in early February and recruited Horn. Joe said it was the hardest thing hes ever had to do, Horn said. I didnt want to be the only firefighter from our department so I asked if anyone was interested and Jay jumped right up. Edwards, an avid runner and bicyclist, said he was just looking for another challenge. When Matt asked for volunteers, I thought it was for a great cause and would be a huge challenge. Forty-two flights of stairs in full fire gear, including helmet, gloves and air tank is not something many people would ever do in their lifetime, let alone voluntarily, he said. The three have been training for about two weeks, running a few miles each day and climbing the steps at TruLay Stadium and an area condo complex to build up endurance. Some participating look at it as a race. Im just looking to finish for a sense of accomplishment, Horn said. We know it will be a challenge but were looking forward to it. Port Clinton Fire Chief Kent Johnson is proud of Horn and Edwards. As firefighters we understand the importance of adequate air supply. Without it we cant do our job. And, if we cant do our job properly, people get hurt, Johnson said. I cant say enough good things about Matt and Jay for what they are doing. Its a wonderful event for a wonderful cause. When asked why he wasnt participating in the Climb for Air Chief Johnson joked, Oh, but I am! Ill take the elevator to the top floor where Ill be waiting with a bottle of water for each of them. Port Clinton Firefighters Horn and Edwards are accepting donations on behalf of the American Lung Association. According to the event webpage (http://www.lung. org/pledge-events/oh/cleveland-climb-fy12/) donations may be given online with a credit card or checks made payable to the American Lung Association may be mailed or dropped off at the PC Fire Station located at 1755 State St., Port Clinton, OH 43452, with the notation Horn/Edwards in the memo section of the check. All proceeds from this event will be used by the American Lung Association for continued efforts toward education, research and advocacy in the fight for healthy lungs and healthy air. For information or to start your own team, contact Climb Manager Patty Kaplan at 216-532-8203.

Lenten Mission kicks off at ICS

Immaculate Conception Church Port Clinton is having a 2012 Lenten Mission Make Way, Make Way, Here Comes the Image of God from 6:30 to 8 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 26, to Wednesday, Feb. 29, in the church. Sister Christine Pratt, OSU, and Sister Margaret Marszal, HM, both from Our Lady of the Pines Retreat Center in Fremont, will be presenting these interesting and informative evenings with reflective, prayerful and unique approaches to individual, family and global relationships with God. These will be excellent evenings for the beginning of positive Lenten reflections. The first evening will reflect on who am I? Who am I in Gods eyes? Who is God to me? What ways do I walk with God in my daily life? The second evening will focus on who my family is. How my family is a source of community for me. What ways do I support others at home, work, school and in my parish? The third evening is about, who is my neighbor? Where do I connect with people who need help outside of my neighborhood? What ways do I learn about global concerns? The fourth evening will be a tying together of all the evenings and a final mass. What is a mission? It is a time when we come together to reflect on our lives in the light of the Gospel message. A time when we come together to pray as a Christian Community. A time when we come to celebrate our faith in Jesus. A time when nothing less than miracles can happen. Miracles of the heart! Come join the people of IC for all evenings or just the evenings that you are available. All are welcome.

Village Watch program?

BY CHIEF GREG FULTZ Marblehead Police Village Watch is a team effort by community members to look out for each others safety and to help law enforcement officials protect people and their property against criminal activity. The Marblehead Police Department has learned that community participation in the fight against crime is essential. One of the most effective ways is to promote information sharing through established neighborhood groups to determine specific problems or needs. The police can then act on this information and report back to the neighborhood group on their progress. Working together, neighbors learn how to safeguard each others homes and property and thus reduce the risk of crime. They become more alert to suspicious circumstances and individuals in their area, and feel more at ease in calling the police for assistance. Village Watch is not a vigilante organization. Rather it promotes and provides awareness, techniques and tools to assist each of us in making our community a safer and better place to live. Village Watch provides law enforcement with the resource of many more eyes and ears to assist in their efforts to provide services. In short, Village Watch is a pro-active approach to crime prevention and community safety. Neighborhood meetings promote friendships between neighbors as well as community leaders and members of our police department. Working together we can improve and preserve the lifestyle we have come to appreciate. Together we make the Village of Marblehead a happy, effective and productive community. If you are a Village resident and would like be part of a Village Watch program, contact Chief Gregory Fultz or Patrolman Casey Joy at 419-798-5881 for information. The Marblehead Police Department will host a meeting regarding the start up of a Village Watch program. The date and time for that meeting will be determined and announced if enough interest is shown.

Residents continue to seek assistance with heating bills

Around the WSOS four-county service area, 518 households have been approved to receive assistance to pay their heating bills in January 2012 through the Emergency Home Energy Assistance Program. A total of $144,752 was approved to assist these residents. This number is fewer than those served in December 2011. According to Tony Lindenberger, basic needs specialist at WSOS, this could be attributed to two reasons: a warmer January and the PIPP Plus program that allows delinquent gas and electric company customers to pay off their bills with a very small monthly amount. The balance of the bills is then forgiven if the customer maintains a good payment record over a period of time. To date, the number of people who have been approved for assistance to pay their heating bills since the program started Nov. 1 is 1,796. In January, the number served in each of the WSOS counties is as follows: Wood County 154 households for a total of $43,090 Ottawa County 93 households for a total of $27,920 Sandusky County 143 households for a total of $39,163 Seneca County 128 households for a total of $34,579 The income limits to receive assistance through this program remains at 200 percent of the federal poverty guidelines. This means that households with one person should earn no more than $21,780 or four-person households should have incomes of no more than $44,700. EHEAP provides one-time assistance to income-eligible residents to help them maintain their heating source by paying some of their heating bills. These households receive up to $450 one time to pay electric and other utilities, and up to $750 for those who use propane and have less than a 10-day supply left in the tank. Residents who have shut off notices receive assistance with heating bills through EHEAP while assistance for those who do not have shut off notices is available through regular HEAP. Regular HEAP also provides a one-time per heating season assistance with paying some heating bills. However, regular HEAP requires applicants to file their own applications. WSOS has applications available and can assist applicants with the forms. Both EHEAP and HEAP operate until March 31. Appointments are required to apply for assistance through EHEAP. To make an appointment, regardless of which county you live in, call 1-888-441-4327.

PC faces Clyde to close regular season

About all that can be said for the 2011-12 basketball season for the Port Clinton boys team is that it allowed a number of younger players to get involved and get some major experience. The Redskins dropped a pair of games last weekend, as they watched Huron drop in a 24 point 3rd quarter to put the game out of reach on Friday, and then they battled at Fostoria on Saturday night before dropping a 59-47 decision. I thought we played better on Friday against a pretty good Huron team, said PC Coach Troy Diels on Tuesday. We had our chances, but just made too many mistakes. Our young kids are getting better and will be better for going through all this in the future. Against Fostoria the Redskins made it close. It was a 4-point game a half, but they beat us up on the boards in the 3rd quarter and we could never recover from it, said Diels. Alex Greene returned to form for the Redskins in both games with 17 points and a bunch of rebounds, but the effort was not enough. PC has now lost 11 of their last 12 games since the injury bug hit taking seniors Jason Faust and Aaron Mier out for the season, one with a knee injury that required surgery and one with an Achilles injury. The Redskins finish the regular season on Friday night at Clyde. The Fliers have been surging in the second half of the season and will provide a stiff test for the road-weary Redskins as they play their fourth consecutive road game. They (Clyde) have been playing very well since the mid-point of the season, said Coach Diels. I think the biggest thing for them is that they execute so well in the half court, about as well as I have seen all year. Tournament play begins next week with the Redskins moving to the Sectionals to be held at Oregon Clay. The Redskins play Toledo Woodward Tuesday night at 8 p.m.

Redskin bowlers make it to sixth District tourney

The Redskin boys bowling team struggled but hung on long enough to earn a sixth consecutive trip to the OHSAA NW District Tournament at Interstate Lanes in Rossford next Friday. Bowling begins at 5 p.m. PC ended up seventh out of 17 teams advancing with a 3,569 score for three team games and six Baker games. Senior Jonny Newton led the Skins with games of 195-1,789190 for a 563 series. Sean Black chipped in with 191=530, David Wilburn 190=525, and Darryl Trent 201=512. Other team members are Jon Koch, Brock Rider, Nathan Van Hoose, Jacob Reed and Sam Miller. We certainly didnt bowl our best, although we did roll the fourth highest team game of the tournament with 917, said Coach Bob Black. Our Baker games were fair but we started the third game with seven consecutive strikes and ended with a 235. That gave us enough to slide ahead of Sandusky by 40 pins. While we struggled at times, our players never quit, worked hard and were rewarded. Well work hard in practice this week and try to earn a trip to Columbus for the state finals.

Sloopys Sports Caf owners Brad Corbin and Matt Mangan show off one of two firstplace prizes they won at Pizza Pizzazz.
Sloopys sweeps top prizes in pizza competition

Brad Corbin and Matt Mangan, co-owners of Sloopys Sports Caf in Lakeside, took first place and each won a $6,000 cash prize in the gourmet and traditional categories at the 2012 Pizza Pizzazz competition. The contests were conducted in conjunction with the annual North America Pizza and Ice Cream Show, held at the Columbus Convention Center Jan. 29-30. Corbins Japanese-inspired pizza, The Hibachi, and Mangans Meatball Supreme pizza bested entries made by more than 50 pizza makers from 11 states. The Hibachi combines a Japanese white sauce, fried rice, sauted broccoli, carrots, onions, zucchini and mushrooms, marinated chicken and shrimp, oyster sauce and sesame seeds. Asked how he came up with idea for such a unique combination, Corbin credited a Japanese restaurant near Lakeside. Im a big fan of nontraditional foods to begin with, and I love that restaurants food, said Corbin. Getting the fried rice cooked correctly so it could be baked on a pizza posed the only challenge to making the pie. Ive never seen anybody do fried rice on pizza before, but we thought, Why not try it? Lets think outside the box. The Meatball Supreme combines red sauce, meatballs, Italian sausage, onion, mushrooms, mozzarella cheese and
Sloopys Sports Caf

218 W. Second St., Lakeside 419-798-4457 www.sloopyspizza.com topped with a gorgonzola cheese sauce. While Mangan said his pizza doesnt sound terribly complex, getting it perfect against such stiff competition made the contest stressful. This is a hard competition because of whos here, said Mangan. I saw guys here from Georgia and Texas, from all over, traveling to Columbus. So for us to come up here and do this is amazing. Some of these guys are current and former members of the United States Pizza Team. Their victories now add up to the third time Sloopys has won a category in the prestigious Best of the Midwest contest. Former owner Michael Speck won in 2003, and sold the business in 2010 to Corbin and Mangan. We figured we could do pretty well coming here, but neither of us talked about winning and certainly not about both of us winning, he said. No restaurant has ever won both days. Were just glad about the attention it will bring to the restaurant. Its all good for business.
