n We sure did get a lot of comments on last week’s Tell Tales from the “Great Swami”. Even Gary Rasmussen told me he was pleased to have been named the director of the Ohio Department of Natural Resources! Remember folks, it was all in fun! However, many of my craziest predictions have actually happened!

n We have a couple of new businesses that have recently opened in downtown Port Clinton. Sloopy’s in Lakeside is now a chain!

year, North Madison Street in Port Clinton was filled with celebration despite the cold.

In addition to the Walleye Drop at midnight, there were children’s activities during the early evening. Emergency response vehicles from around the county gathered for children to see in an event called Touch a Truck which started at 5 p.m. This gives children a chance to see the vehicles up close and personal, even

getting a chance to sit in the seats and sound the sirens.At 6 p.m. at the Knights of Columbus building there

Mackenzie Bart, Miss Ohio 2014, was greeting mem-bers of the community at the festivities.

In Loving Memory

Madison Olivia KleteckaMar. 17, 2012-Dec. 28, 2014

Madison Olivia Kletecka was born in Newport Beach, California, to her loving parents, Charlie and Kristie Kletecka. The three of them relocated to Columbus, Ohio, in February 2013 to be closer to family before adding the fourth member of their family, Greyson, born in February of this year.

Madison had a fond admiration for Clifford, Curious George, owls, and bossing around her little brother. Her beautiful disposition filled the biggest of rooms with love, energy and laughter.

In addition to her keen fashion sense that included pairing winter hats with brightly colored tutus (often while running in circles through the house), Madison enjoyed completing puzzles and art projects. She was an extremely bright child who quickly caught on to learning her numbers and colors. Madison also enjoyed giving “huggys,” jumping on the couch, and eating chocolate; although she was not keen on eating real food.

As her parents, we feel very blessed with all the fond memories and happy moments we will continue to enjoy in our hearts. She will forever be an influence on our appreciation for the simple things in life and we are thankful for the time we had with our Madi Bear, however too short.

She is preceded in death by her grandfather, Kenneth Lariccia Sr. and several great-grandparents. She is survived by her adoring parents Charlie and Kristie Kletecka and her baby brother, Greyson, all of Westerville, Ohio; grandparents Chuck and Vicky “Gaboo” Kletecka; Bev and Jordan Soulerin; and Lynn Koby.

The Funeral Service will be held on Friday, January 2, at 10 a.m. in the Chapel at Sunset Memorial Park, 6245 Columbia Rd. North Olmsted, where family will receive friends from 9 a.m. until the time of the service.

Mike Rose of Washington Properties plans to move for-ward with his residential and commercial development of Water Works Park. The project, which is available for view on The Beacon website on the right hand side under the fishing report, is proposed to take up only 15% of the 14 acre waterfront property.

“We are still very interested, and we feel the commu-nity is still extremely supportive,” The Blade reported that Rose said. “We feel that the plan we presented was an outstanding concept and an economic benefit to the re-gion.”

In the November general election, Port Clinton resi-dents approved an ordinance that requires the sale or transfer of city parkland to be voted on in a general elec-tion. The ordinance, put forward by CORD (Citizens Or-ganized for Responsible Development), narrowly passed the night of November 2.

“I think it’s a worthwhile project that needs further in-vestigation,” said Port Clinton Mayor Leone on the proj-ect. “We have been working diligently up to this point on numbers. We need realistic numbers for both sides of the aisle. What we have now are not actuals. To have a deal come to the table, we need to have actual numbers.”

“The Blade mentioned 2007 and change of zoning. Rose and I have spoken loud and clear on moving the city for-ward. This hasn’t faded in our community. The initiative on the ballot was misleading and sold inappropriately,” said Mayor Leone. “I am glad Mike Rose understands that and wants to put something on the table. When this finally does go to the citizens and they vote on it they will see we have done our due diligence for the betterment of the city.”

“We will be transparent and get the right information to the community, not the Facebook opinion information. I have faith in the people of Port Clinton,” said Mayor Le-one.

To the Real Estate Tax Payers of Ottawa County

On Friday morning, January 2, we dis-covered an error in the data file sent to our printer. The error caused the tax bills sent on December 31 to show the word de-linquent on the top and bottom portions of the bill and it eliminated the half year payment option.

We will be printing new bills this week and mailing them by the end of the week. Please destroy the old bill to prevent any further problems with payments.

If you need a bill prior to the new ones being mailed, you can view and print a correct bill from our website at www.ot-tawacountytreasurer.org under the tax search tab or call my office.

I apologize for any inconvenience this has caused and if you need any further clarification you can contact my office at 419-734-6750 or me, at my email address which is [email protected].

Sincerely,Robert J. HilleTreasurer

According to Ottawa County Auditor, Lawrence Hart-laub, the recent passage of House Bill 85 increases the amount of homestead exemption for military veterans who are rated 100% disabled from a service-related dis-ability from $25,000 to $50,000. It also exempts disabled veterans from the income means testing, regardless of age.

The bill is designed to add all disabled veterans to the list of individuals who may apply for the homestead-tax exemption, as well as increase their deduction from $25,000 to $50,000. This means a disabled veteran who qualifies would only have to pay taxes on $100,000 of a home valued at $150,000.

To receive the increased exemption under the bill, a homeowner must be a veteran of the United States armed forces, reserves, or National Guard who was honorably discharged with a service-connected total and perma-nent disability certified by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs or other federal agency. When apply-ing for the exemption, the veteran must provide written confirmation of the disability from the federal govern-ment.

Applications may be filed from January 5, until the first Monday in June.

Any disabled veteran currently on the homestead ex-emption needs to complete a new application to receive the new expanded exemption.

For more information, please contact the Ottawa Coun-ty Auditor at 419-734-6740.

“David Prudhomme’s approach made the process comfortable and easy. He spent time to understand me and my situation. The information he shared was eye-opening and helpful for me to solidify my goals. Then the actual hypnosis brought it all together. The best part is, it works - immediately! I’m finding myself desiring the healthier choices and weight loss is proving to be effortless. I’m much calmer in situations that previously stressed me out. I can feel this is a permanent, internal shift and I’m thankful I made the choice to work with David.”- Barbara Miller

“We all have the ability and tools to heal ourselves. This is what I discovered at Mederi Wellness. The programs at Mederi will place you and your family on a path of discovery and healing. You will have positive changes in all aspects of your life.”- Douglas Van Fossen

“My experience with Mederi Wellness was very positive. They took a sincere interest in me and helped me to realize what things I needed to do to allow me to live a better life.”- Jim Sass

“Working with David Prudhomme has been wonderful, life changing experience. He is compassionate, insightful and truly cares about his clients. With his coaching and hypnosis, weight loss and stress relief have been easy. I have more confidence and have learned to let go of worries and fears to enjoy healthy, peaceful balance in my life.”- Cindy Perkins

“Three years ago I met David Prudhomme, with this help and everyone at Mederi Wellness I was able to make many changes in my life. The biggest change came in the way I handled stress. I changed the way I reacted and that was the beginning of a happier life. My family, my job, my financial situation did not change, I did and I am still enjoying those benefits three years later. Anyone with an open mind and a desire to change can learn how to control their emotions and live a life they never thought was possible!”- Joann Dottore

“I went to Mederi Wellness for weight loss, but that was just the beginning of my journey. Identifying my personality type with the MBTI and understanding the other types has helped me know myself better and relate to others in a healthier way. Through hypnosis, I was able to identify and heal old emotional wounds that were causing me to over-eat. I lost 40 pounds in 4 months.”- Terri Kardos

“I was skeptical about what a ‘hypnotist’ could do with or for me. And then, I met and worked with David Prudhomme. I went for the weight reduction, I stayed for the opportunities to change what my conscious mind had not been able to handle for years. Hypnotism took me further on my life journey and brought my intellect into congruence with my spirit.”- Chris Galvin

Stop Smoking for Good with Hypnosis

Hypnosis has helped millions of people easily quit smoking for good after the first session, withoutgaining weight and without the need for willpower. Hypnosis allows you to change your subconsciousmind to match you conscious desire to be a non-smoker.

A study presented October 22, 2007 at the annual meeting of the American College of Chest Physicians found that hypnosis was more than twice as effective as quitting “cold turkey,” andover three times as effective as nicotine replacement therapy (NRT).

Lose Weight Easily with Hypnosis

Hypnosis can help you lose weight easily and permanently without dieting. Hypnosis allows you toeasily let go of your cravings for sweets, unhealthy snacks or emotional eating patterns. In hypnosis yoursubconscious mind accepts and creates new healthy patterns and habits. Stop feeling bad or beatingyourself up, because the fact is willpower doesn’t work. Hypnosis helps you eliminate the self-sabotagingbehavior and thoughts that are keeping you from true positive change in your life; and because eachsession is customized for your specific needs, your eating behavior changes after the first session.The Journal of Clinical Psychology reported that in a recent study weight loss subjects whoutilized hypnosis as an adjunct to their weight loss programs experienced significantly moreweight loss than the subjects who did not use hypnosis. The mean weight loss was 6 poundswithout hypnosis and 15 pounds with hypnosis. The benefits increased substantially over time.

Hypnosis and Self-hypnosis for Stress Reduction, Anxiety, Pain and Better Sleep

Hypnosis can help you reduce stress and anxiety in your life. You will learn how your mind processespain and how you can reduce or even eliminate chronic pain, back pain, migraines, and joint or musclepain. Learn what your mind does when you sleep and how hypnosis can help you fall asleep fast andachieve deep and restful sleep through the night.

The Ottawa County Visitors Bureau, Lake Erie Shores & Islands West, is announcing its 2015 Tourism Grant pro-gram.

The program is available for new and existing commu-nity friendly events that take place in Ottawa County. It is designed to assist non-profit organizations and small businesses in promoting events that generate overnight stays, create media exposure, increase area economic impact and generate awareness that Lake Erie Shores & Islands is a year-round destination.

The primary mission of the Visitors Bureau is to encour-age economic development in Ottawa County through promotion of tourism for business, pleasure and enrich-ment. Organizations that hold events that fit within this mission are encouraged to take advantage of the avail-ability of the grant funds.

All applicants who have not previously applied for an Ottawa County Visitors Bureau Tourism Marketing Grant are required to attend one of two pre-application meetings where the program and scoring criteria will be described. At these meetings the application form will be reviewed and all questions will be answered.

Meeting dates are Tuesday, January 20, at 10 a.m. and Thursday, January 22, at 10 a.m. Meetings will be held at the Lake Erie Islands Regional Welcome Center, 770 SE Catawba Rd., Port Clinton. Application deadline for this year’s program is February 28.

More information and a grant form are available by contacting Larry Fletcher at 419-734-4386 ext. 225 or [email protected].

PEEK OF THE LAKE

ACCEPTED OFFER

BY YANEEK SMITH

After blowing a 15-point, second-half lead, Port Clinton showed its resilience and came up with a big play in the closing seconds to eke out a 50-48 victory over Lake.

Emily Ashley scored on a three-point play with 23 sec-onds remaining to bring the Redskins back from a 48-47 deficit and account for the final scoring. Her basket came off a steal from Adrianna Hall as the Flyers were trying to run out the clock.

Lake trailed 45-37 midway thru the fourth quarter be-fore going on an 11-2 run to take the lead.

Following an opening-season loss to Bellevue, Port Clinton has won 11 straight games, with nearly every vic-tory coming in convincing fashion.

Port Clinton led for nearly the entire game, holding a 14-8 advantage after one quarter and a 24-17 lead at half-time. The Redskins led 33-18 midway thru the third quar-ter before the Flyers embarked on 30-14 run to take the lead late in the fourth quarter.

Ashley led all scorers with 19 points, Hall finished with 12 and Bethany Urban had 11.

Rebekah Swartz and Alexis Hansen led Lake with 11 points apiece.

Port Clinton 54, Fostoria 35A big second-quarter push helped Port Clinton break

the game open on its way to a 54-35 victory over Fostoria.

Port Clinton wins its 11th straight game

BASKETBALL from 1B

Since graduating from Oak Harbor High School in 2003, J.D. Bergman has been pursuing his dream to be an Olympic champion and the best wrestler in the world. The road has been rigorous but he has seen some great success, including 10 national titles. Of recent, he beat a couple of Russians and brought the gold back from Rio a few weeks ago. (The plan is to make that a habit.)

Bergman is headed to Colorado in January, Cuba in February, and Belarus in March to start his winter tours where he is excited to compete!

J.D. Bergman has been very fortunate to be one of five US athletes chosen for a new crowd funding platform called Pursu.it. This platform allows world class athletes to raise money to support their dreams. Bergman’s jour-ney thus far has been incredible. To help keep this mo-mentum, he needs to raise awareness of his campaign and drive traffic to the web page.

B-C-S Superintendent Guy Parmigian spoke with Berg-man by telephone as he prepared to head off to Colorado Springs for training. “I am impressed by the drive, spirit, and resiliency of J.D. Bergman as he pursues his goals. He has worked to overcome many obstacles, and his hard work is paying off,” Parmigian said. Parmigian also talked with Bergman about the costs involved in training and competing on the road to the Olympics and it is quite costly. Bergman commented, “If many give a little, it will be a lot. I would appreciate your consideration of a dona-tion.”

For more information about Bergman’s journey and how to support his cause, please check out his Facebook page at facebook.com/jdbergmanusa.

The so-called “experts” are simply misinformed!

Newspapers are dead?Over the last 15 years, since the proliferations of the internet, paid circulation newspapers have seen their subscriptions drop dramatically, up to 8% per year. That is why you hear “Newspapers are dead”. That’s the bad news. The good news is FREE community papers, like The Beacon, have had ZERO reduction in circulation and readership! Our latest audit shows that nearly 80% of the households who get The Beacon READ The Beacon. PLUS The Beacon is read by over 2 individuals per household. So, while the daily papers have suffered, the FREE communities weeklies like The Beacon have thrived. And better yet The Beacon’s Web Site just gets better and better, updated every day with new community news items. The Beacon was “Hyper-Local” before the term was coined!

So, when you hear “Newspapers are dead” ... don’t believe it! Community papers are alive and well, thank you! And our Web Sites are great as well because we don’t have to worry about losing readership to our own Web Site. All you have to do is sit back and read your weekly Beacon and stay informed about the “good news” happening every day.

Facing a Margaretta team that has played well thus far, not to mention the fact that it handed St. Mary CC its only defeat of the season, Danbury fell to the Polar Bears, 83-32, in non-conference action.

Margaretta led 27-8 after the first quarter and broke the game open by outscoring the Lakers, 24-3, in the second quarter to take a 51-11 lead into halftime.

Bailey Kimberlin led the Bears with 18 points and Toby Miller, son of Danbury Middle School Principal Joe Mill-er, scored 17 points, including three 3-pointers.

Hunter Stinchcomb led the Lakers with a game-high 18 points and Ryan Chapman chipped in with five.

Danbury, which is playing without two key players, Grady Mark and Seth Vargo, is now 1-6 on the season.

Girls BasketballGenoa 92, Danbury 29Genoa, one of the area’s best teams, took control from

the outset and defeated Danbury, 92-29, in non-confer-ence action.

The Comets, who have won eight consecutive games, got a game-high 21 points from Haley Pickard and 18 from Haley Gerke and led 29-1 after the first quarter and 52-11 at halftime.

The Lakers, playing without Megan Stephens, got a team-high eight points from Alyx Perram. Three different players, Lily Bishoff, Stephanie Kukay and Lexi Mitchell, finished with four points apiece.

Danbury is now 3-5 on the season.

After losing in the first game, Oak Harbor rebounded to defeat Lima Central Catholic, 65-53, and finished third at the Lima McDonald’s Holiday Classic.

The Rockets, who lost to the host, Lima Bath, in the first game, jumped out to a 14-11 lead and held a 25-21 ad-vantage at halftime before slowly pulling away. Holding a 39-34 lead midway thru the third quarter, Oak Harbor finished the game on a 26-19 run to put the Thunderbirds away.

Andrea Cecil, who battled a knee injury, led the way with 25 points and 11 rebounds, and Maddy Rathbun con-tributed with 15 points and eight boards.

In all, four Rockets finished in double figures. Emma Barney had a double-double, finishing with 12 points and 10 rebounds and Abby Dornbusch contributed with eight points and three assists.

It was a big win for Oak Harbor, which had lost five

games in a row after starting the season 3-1. Currently, the Rockets are 4-6 and 2-3 in the Sandusky Bay Conference.

Madison Stolly led the Thunderbirds with 12 points, Sydney Santaguida and Kayla Verhoff both finished with 12 and Liz Taflinger chipped in with 10.

Boys BasketballPerkins 67, Oak Harbor 56Perkins grabbed an early lead and never looked back in

its 67-56 defeat of Oak Harbor. The Pirates raced out to a 16-4 lead and led 18-9 after

one quarter before slowly building the advantage from there. Perkins held leads of 31-19 and 49-36 after the sec-ond and third quarter, respectively.

Connor Roesch led all scorers with 21 points and team-mate Alec Speer had 16, including four 3-pointers. Will Rickard was the third Pirate to finish with double figures, scoring 11.

DeShawn Johnson, who returned from injury, scored 15

points and Tyler Sievert contributed 10 to lead the Rock-ets.

Oak Harbor is now 1-7 and 1-3 in the Sandusky Bay Con-ference.

watching the Rockets get to within seven points at 30-23, finished the half on a 7-0 run to take a 37-23 lead into halftime.

From there, Bellevue slowly built its lead, which rose as high as 22 points.

Dylan DeWitt led the Redmen with 17 points, including three 3-pointers, Thomas Pressler had 11 and Seth Linder finished with 10.

Oak Harbor’s Tyler Sievert led all scorers with 21 points and Cole Weirich had eight.

Rockets stop the bleeding with key win

The Benton-Carroll-Salem Board of Education met on December 18 for their regular meeting and Oak Harbor Middle School was the District Highlight, a monthly fea-ture at Board meetings. Principal Marie Wittman intro-duced math teacher Mr. John McKitrick and a group of his 7th grade students who were present for the meeting. This group used classroom lessons and activities with Board members, the Superintendent, and the Treasurer to demon-

strate the depth of knowledge required by new mathematics standards. Board members were impressed with the stu-dent’s level of engagement and knowledge level.

In other business, the Board approved the monthly finan-cial report of Treasurer Tim Coffman and appointed Mrs. Jamie Tooman as President Pro-Tempore for the Board’s January Organizational Meeting, which is required by Ohio Revised Code. The Board accepted several resignations for retirement purposes, including Carol Jensen (Kindergarten teacher), Deb Triana (middle school teacher), and Joyce Lenz (middle school secretary). The Board also accepted a gen-erous donation from Materion Brush, Inc. in the amount of $657 to fund a student field trip to Imagination Station, as well as a donation of $650 from the Free Masons Lodge in Fremont, Ohio to benefit students at Oak Harbor High School.

The Board approved a three year administrative con-tract for Mr. James Boss to serve as the district’s Director of Student Services (Special Education) effective on August 1, 2015. Boss currently serves the district as a school psy-chologist, a position he has held for the past five years. He will replace Mrs. Judy Peters who will retire after serving the district as a teacher and administrator since 1985.

Board members also approved several individuals as sub-stitute employees, approved the Ottawa County Interagen-cy Agreement, approved the payment of dues to the Ohio School Boards Association, approved a job description for the Board Office custodian, and held an executive session.

The B-C-S Board of Education will meet next on January 15 at 6:30 p.m. at the Board of Education Office for its 2015 Organizational Meeting. This brief organizational meeting will be followed the Board’s January regular meeting. Please note that this date is a change from the Board’s regular meeting time, which is the fourth Tuesday of each month.
