Tell Tales

Bundle up, ice fshing season may be here

High School Basketball

Well it was inevitablelastweeks 60-degree temperatureswere just not going to stickaround. It is January along theshores of Lake Erie. Actually, thereare some signicant silver liningsto these cold temperatures. First,the lake is freezing over and frozenwater (ice) doesnt evaporate. Oneof the primary causes of lowerlake levels that cropped up late lastsummer was the evaporation fac-tor from the mild winter of 2012.The other positive factor is thatthe extended cold weather justmight freeze Lake Erie enough to

allow for some ice shing.

With a little more than a month left in its 2012-2013campaign, United Way in Ottawa County is approximately$15,000 short of its fund-raising goal. United Ways yearly in-vestment in the community is over $365,000. If you havent

yet given to United Way this year, it is not too late, says ChrisGalvin, Director of United Way in Ottawa County. We need

your help in order for us to continue to fund all the programsin need. If every person in the county donated $10 a year, wewould reach our goal.

Every dollar donated in Ottawa County stays in the UnitedWay programs in Ottawa County. We continue investing inprograms that are increasing the stability of the entire fam-ily through strategies in education, income and health, saidLori Clune, chair of United Way in Ottawa Countys Com-munity Solutions Team that makes funding recommenda-tions. Between kid-centered initiatives, nancial stability

and case management programs, and neighborhood devel-opment like the Conestoga Project, were advancing the com-mon good of our entire community.

Through the tough economic times the past few years Gal-

vin said that United Way in many ways worked as a safetynet to sustain the communitys needs.

Gem Beach Rocks on August 17 and the United Way GolfOuting on May 3 at CIC are fund-raisers for Ottawa CountyUnited Way, but the majority of funding comes from theworkplace and community donations.

Some ways you can give, advocate and volunteer: Begin or energize a United Way donation program at your

place of business or school. Sponsor a band for Gem Beach Rocks or a hole at the Unit-

ed Way Golf Scramble. Create a fund-raising challenge with your friends, family,

class or workplace. Volunteer via 2-1-1 as a reader or with the summer school

lunch program.

For more information or to donate, contact United Way inOttawa County through 2-1-1 or at 419-734-6645 or www.unitedwayottawacounty.org or visit their ofce at 1854 E.Perry Street in Port Clinton.

United Way was recently selectedby Forbes Magazine as one o fveAll Star Charities nationwide.

For United Way o Ottawa County, the strate-gies or advancing the common good are:

In the area of education: preparing children toenter and graduate from school.

In the area of income: increasing individualand family nancial stability.

In the area of health: increasing access tohealth care, nutrition and healthy environ-ments.

By the numbers (2010-2011 program out-comes or Ottawa County): In the Conestoga program in Port Clinton,

5 dilapidated numbers were demolished, 2houses were built, 1 park was created, 1 grouphome was secured, 1 park was restored

40 community gatekeepers were trained to

ensure their neighbors nd help. 30 adults received help to take the GED testand get a job.

50 volunteers and 18 volunteer groups and 17local businesses came together for summerlunch and fun programs, which served 50 pluslunches 2 days a week at 2 sights.

287 people with severe mental illness avoid-ed hospitalization and were provided withsocialization opportunities and job skillsthrough the Club House at the Oak House.

40 people volunteered for the campaign to re-cruit readers and tutors.

494 people were assisted through familywrap-around programs, providing long-termsupports in nancial and housing security.

1,262 Ottawa County residents connected to

community resources through United Way2-1-1.

The United Way Advisory Board and Community Solutions Team met at Ida Rupp Library last week.

Each year the Leadership Ottawa County (LOC) class com-pletes a project. The 2013 class is organizing The WelcomeDoors of Ottawa County. These doors, modeled on the ur-ban fairies project of Ann Arbor, MI, is designed to encouragetravel and exploration throughout our region and encour-age children of all ages to discover new points of interest and

businesses in Ot-

tawa County.To promote TheWelcome Doors,LOC will be part-nering with theOttawa CountyVisitors Bureauand area cham-bers of commerce.A yer with a map locating all participatingbusinesses and organizations will be avail-able to the public. A website and social mediacampaign is also being developed.

The design of The Welcome Doors can besimple or elaborate. In Ann Arbor, many ofthe 25 or so doors are miniature reproduc-tions of the faade of the businesses where

they are located. While most are outside, afew are also inside. Visitors sometimes leavetiny mementos, such as a token or charm or apiece of beach glass.

Businesses and organizations can partici-pate by simply installing a Welcome Door.

The LOC is asking participating sites for a contributionof $25 for registering their location and to help offsetcosts for printing the yers and developing the websiteand social media campaign. Welcome Door sites areencouraged to install their doors in April, as yers andthe website will be available in May. Businesses may alsochoose to incorporate their Welcome Doors in incentive

or coupon offers.Several businesses have already signed up for this in-expensive and whimsical way to enhance and encourageOttawa Countys reputation as an interesting and uniqueplace to visit or live.

To register or with any questions, contact Lisa Dewey [email protected].

There are many resources available for designing andbuilding a Welcome Door. Doll house doors can alsobe used, with some preparation for and protectionfrom the elements.

Some resources include:

Linda Peiffer of Port Clinton heads upthe Northwest Ohio Chapter of ConKerrCancer. The group makes pillowcases forchildren in the Oncology Department atToledos Childrens and Mercy ChildrensHospitals.

The Chapter responded to a plea fromthe national ofce of ConKerr Cancer tosend pillowcases to Quilters Corner in

New Milford, CT, for the children of San-dy Hook Elementary of Newtown. Therewere 60 pillowcases ready, so Linda boxedup the pillowcases and sent them off to thequilt shop for distribution to the childrenat Sandy Hook.

Packaged with each pillowcase is a notewith the contact information for the con-tributers. Last week Peiffer received anemail from one of the fathers of a SandyHook student:

My son, who is a student at Sandy Hook

Elementary School, came home yesterdaywith one of your pillow cases. As soonas he came in from school, he pulled outthe pillow case, which was covered withsmall orange basketballs, ran to his room,brought down his pillow and promptly re-placed the plain dull white one with himnew snazzy case. He loves it.

Thank you very much for the thoughts

and efforts, we appreciate them more thanyou know. The outpouring of support forour children has been amazing and heartwarming.

Again, thank you for all that you do for tobring a smile to the rest of the world.

Warmest Regards, A Happier StudentsDad

varying names, was held and the studentsand faculty of Danbury High Schoolraised $637.72. Nickel Wars is essentiallya spare change contest wherein nickelsare used to lower the total of a compet-ing class. In the Danbury contest, theSophomore class, with a total of over $5a

For much o the frst quarter, Port Clinton outplayed OakHarbor and held a 13-8 lead with about a minute remainingbut things changed.

A.J. Cecil connected on a layup and Sam Laderach hit athree-pointer at the buzzer to tie it at 13, swinging the mo-mentum in the Rockets avor as they went on a 12-0 runand took control o the contest beore deeating the Red-skins, 58-47.

Greg Haars three-pointer with 6:16 let in the secondquarter gave Oak Harbor the lead or good at 16-13 and theRockets never looked back.

Haar, who led all scorers with 22 points, had 15 in the frsthal as the Rockets increased the margin in the second quar-ter and took a 28-23 lead into the break.

With the win, Oak Harbor improves to 8-5 overall and 5-2in the Sandusky Bay Conerence. Port Clinton, meanwhile,alls to 2-10 and 2-6 in the league.

Oak Harbor head coach Eric Sweet talked about his teamsvictory.

The dierence between this year and past years is Ive gotkids that are confdent on the court, he said. Ive got kidsthat want the basketball in their hands. And its not just A.J.and Greg, its guys like Austin (Wiegand) and Josh (Sarah-man). Nobody is scared to have the basketball in their hands.Theres no ear this year. I its close, we know were going tobe okay.

In addition to Haars 22 points, Cecil chipped in with 15,connecting on three 3-pointers and Wiegand and Sarahmanfnished with eight and seven points, respectively.

Coming into the season, the Rockets, who hadnt beat theircross-town rivals since 2003, have now taken both gamesthis season.

Its a huge win or our program, Cecil said. To get tworom these guys (this season) we hadnt beaten them in10 years weve been talking since we were young that we

were going to be the class that comes in and changes (theprogram). To get two rom one o the better programs in theleague is huge.

Cecil also talked about the momentum that Laderachsbuzzer-beating three-pointer gave the club.

Sams three was huge, he said. To send us into the (break)with the big got us going and fred us up. We extended thelead (in the second quarter) and never looked back.

Brock Moore led the Skins with 20 points and Kalib Shi-ets and Nathan Stubblefeld fnished with eight and seven,respectively.

Ater trailing 42-30 heading in the fnal period, Port Clin-ton was able to chip away and mount a rally, getting as closeas fve when Moore connected on a runner with 3:02 re-maining to cut it to 47-42. However, Haar, who connectedon a number key shots during the game, took the ball coast-to-coast and scored on a leaner in the paint to push the leadback to seven. From there, the Rockets put the game away atthe ree-throw line.

We told the guys (in the ourth quarter) that we wantedto get it down to a two-possession game, Port Clinton headcoach Troy Diels said. Brock hit a shot to cut it to fve andthen Greg (Haar) came down and hit a oater and it sort obroke our spirits. That was a senior stepping up with a bigplay.

Keith Witt won a Division II state wres-tling title at 171 pounds for Oak Harborin 2008.

When he arrived on the Kent State cam-pus a few months later to wrestle for the

Golden Flashes, high school suddenly feltlike a distant memory. His weight bal-looned to 220 pounds his freshman yearand he ended up redshirting that season.

I was really out of shape, said Witt, nowa fth-year senior. I was training with theteam all year round. I wasnt in my topform. It was my rst year of college and mybody wasnt in the best form it could be. Itwasnt like I gained any good weight. I wasdumpy and not in the best shape.

The 6-foot Witt decided to drop 50pounds and compete at 174 pounds as aredshirt freshman in 2009-10 and endedup doing very well. He nished with a21-9 record after starting the season 8-6,recorded 10 pins and placed second at the

Mid-American Conference Champion-ships. He also earned an automatic bid tothe NCAA Championships, where he lostboth matches.

That (174) was the best weight for me atthe time, Witt said. I felt good through-out the season.

Witt moved up to 184 pounds a year lat-er and went 15-9 with seven pins, second

most on the team. He bumped up to 197last season and had great success, winninga MAC title and earning another automat-ic bid to the NCAA Championships, wherehe went 0-2 again.

Witt is nishing out his wrestling careerthis season by competing at 285 pounds. Itis a weight class that often has Witt, whoweighs 225 pounds, going head to headagainst much larger wrestlers. He has an11-11 record so far this season.

Its different, Witt said. Its denitelya different style of wrestling comparedto any other. At heavyweight, guys are alot bigger and stronger. I lifted a lot lastsummer to try to get stronger to get someweight on. I was able to do that. Im tryingto get used to the weight class; its movingalong.

Witt said one reason he moved up to285 was because the Flashes have the top-ranked 197-pounder in the country in

fth-year senior Dustin Kilgore, a formerNCAA champion who redshirted last yearin order to train at the U.S. Olympic Train-ing Center in Colorado.

It was better for the team for me to goup there (285), Witt said, and it was anopportunity for me to be in the startinglineup my last year. Once you get up to 197and heavyweight, its a total difference in

wrestling than at the lighter weights. Guysare so much stronger and bigger.

Witt, a four-time state tournament quali-er who compiled a 151-32 career recordat Oak Harbor, said he tries to use hisscrambling ability when he faces bigger,stronger competition.

I feel like Im a better scrambler, he

said. I can out-quick them if they get onmy legs and I can try to scramble out of it.I have that advantage over them. I feel ifI can get to the second period with a 0-0score, I can win the match because I feelIm better on top than the bigger guys.That tends to go to my advantage in mostof my matches. Most of my losses havecome against guys (ranked) in the top 20.

Witt, 23, is trying his best to qualify forhis third trip to the NCAA Championshipsbefore he graduates in May with a degreein justice studies.

Id like to get to the national tourna-ment, get to the round of 12 and try toget All-American (top eight), said Witt,who has been wrestling since age 5. Im

just training hard the last few months ofmy career and well see what happens. Imactually kind of excited to see what Im go-ing to do after college. Im trying to nd a

job and see where life takes me. Im goingto miss wrestling, but it hasnt hit me yet,I guess.

In the aftermath of the July 1, storm that caused exten-sive damage to homes and roofs throughout Catawba,Marblehead and Lakeside, Firelands Mechanical Heatingand Air Conditioning of Danbury Township reports thatthey found many problems stemming from roof damageand roof repairs.

After new roong had been installed for many of theircustomers, Firelands found that water heater vent pipeshad become disconnected inside the house or in the at-tic space. This can be dangerous, as the vent gases maybe entering living space air, and this can cause health and

safety issues.Firelands therefore recommends that if your roof has

been replaced recently your water heater and furnaceshould be checked by a professional immediately. Theyalso recommends installing a carbon monoxide andsmoke detector in or near a sleeping area as most carbonmonoxide alarms occur during the early morning hours.

Otterbein addresses scal cliff deal

If you look at investing in terms of an athletic event, itsmore of a marathon than a sprint. So as an investor, youcan learn a few things from marathoners.

First, be prepared. Marathoners train for months, and

sometimes years. As an investor, you can prepare by learn-ing about different asset classes and risk factors.Also, show patience and perseverance. Marathoners deal

with injuries and other setbacks but still manage to pre-vail. When you invest, youll face obstacles, such as marketdownturns. But if you keep following a proven investment

strategy, you can succeed.Finally, get proper coaching. Marathoners either work

with coaches or attend clinics to learn how to run theirgrueling race. As you work toward your important goals,

you can benet from the help of a nancial professional.You can learn a lot from marathoners. Put this knowl-edge to work soon.
