Before we get to the Great Swami, I must say a few words about a couple of fine people that passed on last week. First, my “roomie,” former Probate Judge Dave Zeitzheim. He and I, along with several others, went on a ski trip out west many years ago. After the first night, it was decided that we would room to-gether … something about intol-erable snoring. We have referred to each other as “Roomie” ever since. I’m going to miss him.

Also longtime Marblehead public servant Bill Davis passed away last week in Florida. His daughter, Diane (Davis) Jano-wich was an employee of The Beacon back in the 80s, one of the original “Beaconettes.” Both obituaries can be read in this week’s Beacon.

Bonnie Crawford of Bay Town-ship was selected as our “Find Wylie” winner last week. She found our friendly fish hiding in the ad for Kaspar Auto Group on page 6B last week. Bonnie wins a $20 gift card from Friendship Food Stores. We’ll be hiding Wylie again this week. If you find him, just drop off an entry form at our office in the Beacon Place Business Center, or hit the Find Wylie icon at www.thebeacon.net.

Ok, it is New Years, so it is time once again for The Great Swami (otherwise known as your slightly cynical Beacon Newspa-per Publisher) to predict what Ottawa County will look like in the year 2022. Just having a little

fun, OK?• January 2022 — Even though

the Walleye Drop is called off, thousands of local revelers pack Port Clinton for New Year’s Eve. At midnight, they pour out of the Waterworks Hotel and Casino complex to celebrate the coming of 2022. Casino Manager Giuseppe Mantalbano says it was a good night all the way round. The bar inside the Casino is called “Rosie’s.”

• February 2022 — Valentine’s Day is another big weekend for the Casino. A visitor from Cleveland, Flavio Costenzo, wins the big ticket lottery and walks away with $5 million. However, investigators learn that the pro-gram was rigged since Flavio was a personal friend of Manager Mantalbano!!! Mayor Leone says he is shocked! The whole scheme

Former Port Clinton Mayor Debbie Hymore-Tester and Law Director George Wilber took part in several meetings with officials from the Ohio Depart-ment of Natural Resources, Di-vision of Coastal Management. Chief Chief John Watkins and Patrick Ernst, along with Tester and Wilber addressed the fol-lowing question: who has the

title on the property?Tester and Wilber are happy to

announce the ownership of the Waterworks property is not in question, and the city will not need authorization to develop under the Ohio Revised Code Section 1506.11.

“This is one more step closer to developing our waterfront,” said Tester.

Home sales throughout Ohio in November posted gains for the fifth consecutive month, helping the market-place nearly mirror the results of a year ago for the first 11 months, according to statistics provided to the Ohio Associa-tion of Realtors by the state’s Multiple Listing Services.

“In all corners of Ohio, we’ve experi-enced a significant uptick in activity since mid-year … a hopeful sign of an improv-ing and stable marketplace,” said OAR President Meg Hud-son. “This current stretch of five monthly sales gains marks the first time since 2005 (July to November) that we’ve experi-enced similar increases over the prior year. Our market contin-ues making strides toward fully regaining its footing and over-coming the challenges that have beset the sector since the onset of the recession in 2008.”

Ohio sales in November 2011 reached 7,415, marking an 11.1 percent increase from the 6,672 sales posted during the month a year ago. The month’s average sale price posted a 3.8 percent decrease to $124,140, com-pared to the $129,071 mark of November 2010. The total dol-lar volume during the month surpassed $920 million, a 6.9 percent jump from the more than $861 million posted a year ago.

Hudson notes that a recent survey of the state’s real estate professionals suggests that the industry remains optimistic

about the market’s outlook in the coming months.

Locally Fireland’s Board of Realtor’s market areas for Port Clinton, Oak Harbor, Marble-

head, Put-in-Bay and surrounding town-ships has reflected a sales gain, however not as much as the combine sales within the State.

The local market as reported in Fire-land’s MLS reflected an uptick of 4.3 per-cent for residential properties sold (De-

cember 1, to November 31) in 2011 compared to 2010. The sales total volume for 2011 was $66,766,570.00 reflecting a gain of 3.16% .

Notable one of the best re-flections was for the Danbury Township, Marblehead and, Lakeside market area reflecting a gain of 14.55 percent in units sales having a total volume gain of 3.74 percent. Catawba Island Township on the other hand, reflected a decline of 9.52 per-cent for units sold with a decline of 3.74 percent in total volume.

Interestingly the median price declined from $130,000.00 to $128,500.00 illustrating the lower priced properties have had more buyer activity. A positive market reflection is the average days on market for sales in 2011 declined from 162 to 143 days.

In all the market appears to have bottomed out and is on the uptick. Smart buyers realize the benefits of the all time low for interest rates, and are tak-ing advantage of the soft market prior to the uptick becoming an upswing.

Shopping SpreeThe Ottawa County Junior Fair

would like to thank everyone who bought a raffle ticket for a shop-ping spree in 2011.

The winning ticket that was drawn was the Senior Fair Board’s ticket. Instead of going through with the shopping spree, the board voted to donate the money they would have won in groceries to a local charity. The Ottawa County Senior Fair Board has a check for $400 which will be donated to the Ottawa County Holiday Bureau.

Thank you to Oak Harbor’s Community Market and both Oak Harbor and Port Clinton’s Liberty Tax offices for helping the Junior Fair sell tickets.

Holiday givingThe St. Vincent de Paul food pan-

try would like to give a most heart-felt thanks to the community and the churches of Port Clinton for their generosity. Your year-round support has made a world of dif-ference in the lives of so many who are struggling day to day.

The students of Bataan and Jef-ferson schools are to be com-mended for their selfless giving in the “Charity Coin War.” The stu-dents of the two schools save all their coins and try to out-match each other. We were amazed at the amount collected and truly grate-ful. What an outstanding group of students! Thank you from the bot-tom of our hearts.

Sound Off

was unraveled by local police chief Cory Car-penter. Veteran Quarterback Robert Griffin III leads the Browns to victory in the Super Bowl over the St. Louis Rams.

• March 2022 — ODOT announces that it will begin a major study on a major expansion of both Ohio 53 between Port Clinton and Fremont as well as Ohio 2 between Toledo and Port Clinton in response to the closing of the Ohio Turnpike, which was sold by the state of

Ohio 8 years ago to Mangiovani Investments Company. County Commissioners Randy Drummond, Brenda Smith and Larry Hartlaub applaud the decision.

• April 2022 — A record hatch of Asian Carp ultimately affirms that the invasive species that appeared in Lake Erie in 2018 has now offi-cially eliminated all native species. While film-ing his fishing TV show, D’Arcy Egan is struck in the face by a flying carp and knocked off the boat where he is bitten by a Round Goby.

• May 2022 — Ed Fitzgerald an-nounces a key strategic partnership with several other business owners on Put-in-Bay to allow gambling on the island. However, the McCann family balks at the proposal, so the primary source of entertainment on the island will continue to be rock ’n’ roll. LONG LIVE ROCK ’N’ ROLL!!! Ageless entertainer Mike “Mad Dog” Adams also commented, but his com-ments were not printable!

• June 2022 — The Miller Boat Line introduces a new high-speed ferry boat, the S.S. Billy Market! It goes from Catawba Point to the Lime Kiln Dock on Put-in-Bay in 3 minutes! To commemorate the maiden voyage, the Lime Kiln dock plays host to 50,000 aging Parrot Heads as Jimmy Buffet performs on the Island.

• July 2022 — Lake Erie turns green from heavy phosphorus-laden algae blooms from Monroe to Cleveland. The bloom kills all of the Asian Carp in the Lake. The massive kill is blamed on asbestos contamination from the artificial reefs created in 2012 from the ruins of the old Water-works Building in Port Clinton.

• August 2022 — The Inter-Lake Yachting Association’s annual Sail Re-gatta at Put-in-Bay draws 357 yachts

from all over the Great Lakes. The event has become the No. 1 sailing event in the world!!! For the eighth straight year, former Beacon Publisher John Schaffner wins first overall honors! Oak Harbor joins Genoa and Elmore as a highly desirable residential community fed by the huge expansion of the Materion operation and the expansion at Davis-Besse. Because of the population shift, the County Commissioners announce that they will move the county seat to Oak Harbor.

• September 2022 — Eric and Kassie An-derson’s NASCAR team featuring local driver Alonzo Russo, wins the Sprint Cup in Home-stead, Fla. Football season begins with the Port Clinton Lakers favored to win the Sandusky Bay Conference championship. However, they lose to Oak Harbor for the sixth straight season as the Rockets go on to the Championship.

• October 2022 — A special “Sweetest Day” poll on The Beacon’s website (there are no print newspapers in 2022) establishes former Port Clinton Mayor Debbie Hymore-Tester as the “Sweetest” person in Ottawa County! The city allows a special Goose Hunting day on the Port Clinton City Beach, which had been condemned due to excess goose coli-form pol-lution.

• November 2022 — Jimmy Stefano runs for the 9th District congressional seat held by Chris Redfern and wins a squeaker. Port Clin-ton Mayor Vince Leone announces that he will organize and appoint an “Ad Hoc” committee to study a potential marina in Port Clinton. “I think this could help revitalize the downtown,” says Leone.

• December 2022 — Despite losing only one game to Oak Harbor, the Port Clinton Redskins win their first State Championship in football. Coach Toby Hammond credits the “Redskin Rebuild” program for its dedication and patience in creating the most “state-of-the-art” weight room in Ohio high school football!

William DavisNov. 12, 1925 — Dec. 30, 2011

God loaned us an amazing gift for 86 years. William W. Davis returned home to his Father and Savior on December 30, 2011. Wil-liam (Bill) Davis, eldest of seven children born to Curtis V. Davis Sr. and Florence (Weaver) Davis, was born Novem-ber 12, 1925 in Warren, Ohio. He graduated from Portage High School, Portage, Ohio in 1943. After graduation, he was a farm hand until he was inducted into the United States Army on April 30, 1944. William was part of the Corporal Headquarters Battery, 779th Field Artillery Battalion and served 14 months in the Philippines during WWII. He received the following decorations and citations: American Theater Ribbon, Asiatic-Pacific Theater Ribbon with one Bronze Star, Philippine Liberation Ribbon, Good Con-duct Medal, and the World War II Victory Medal World. He was honorably discharged following his service to his country. William went on to receive his Bachelor of Science in Education and Master of Education from Bowling Green State University.

William married the love of his life Marilyn J. Miller on December 27, 1952 at Grace Lu-theran Church, Fremont, Ohio. The couple recently quietly celebrated their 59th wed-ding anniversary by proclaiming how truly blessed they were to have each other. William and Marilyn Davis had six children: Pam (Sam) Guerra of Madison, Ohio, Diane (Bill) Janowich of Huron, Terry (Tammy) Davis of Port Clinton, Karen (Tom) Keller of Sylvania, Tom (Stephanie) Davis of London, Ontario, Canada, and Barbara Mitchell of Port Clin-ton. William was the best role model that any child could hope to emulate.

William Davis loved and served God, his country and his family with his whole be-ing. He was best known as husband, father, grandfather, teacher, mentor, advisor and friend. William was an active member of St. John’s Lutheran Church, Port Clinton and then transferred to Sheppard of the Hills Lu-theran, Dade City, Florida when the couple moved to Zephyrhills, Florida in 1984. Wil-

liam, fondly known to his students as Sarge, retired from Danbury High School in 1977 with 27 years of service to education where he taught Industrial Arts and Drivers Edu-cation. He retired with a total of 33 years of service to his country. Additionally, he was a Sunday school teacher, Auxiliary State Pa-trol Officer, park ranger at East Harbor State Park, life-long VFW and American Legion member, and served as Danbury Township Clerk and Trustee. When not working, he loved to “putter” in his shop, square dance, and play cards.

William is survived by his loving wife Marilyn, his six children, 13 grandchildren, and 3 great-grandchildren. Additionally, he is survived by three brothers: Curtis (Edna) Davis Jr. of Bowling Green, Ohio, Sidney (Lois) Davis Sr. of Zephyrhills, Florida and Irvin (Darlene) Davis of Marblehead, Ohio and one sister: Florence (Richard) Kimmel of Nunn, Colorado. William was preceded in death by his parents and two sisters: Alice (Carlo) Roppainen and Bertha Davis (died in infancy).

A private family service will be held. Wil-liam will receive a military funeral and be buried at Ohio Western Reserve National Cemetery in Rittman, Ohio. The family re-quests that donations be made to the Shep-pard of the Hills Lutheran Church, 37015 Orange Valley Lane, Dade City, FL 33525.

The OSS Solid Waste District is expand-ing its grant program from two funding rounds to three in 2012. The program requires that eligible participants register and attend a meeting at the District office that helps explain the application process and offers guidelines for the program.

The grant program’s main priority is to set up recycling programs for three groups: educational institutions, govern-mental agencies and non-profit organiza-tions. The groups must be located within the District’s three-county boundaries of Ottawa, Sandusky or Seneca. The District cannot fund any private businesses.

Once a recycling program is established, these agencies may apply for funds for products made from recycled material — a minimum of 25 percent recycled content

is required and proof of the content must be included with each application.

Deadlines for funding rounds in 2012 are as follows: Jan. 31, June 30 and Oct. 31. Required informational meetings will be held the first week of each of the deadline months at the District office in Fremont. The first round meeting is scheduled for 10 a.m. Thursday, Jan. 5. Applicants may register by calling the District office at 419-334-7222, toll-free 888-850-7224 or email assistant director Amy Drummer at [email protected]. You must attend the meet-ing in the month that you intend to submit an application.

The application and guidelines are avail-able on the District’s website: www.recy-cleoss.org.

BY YANEEK SMITH

Despite an 0-7 start to its season, the Danbury boys basketball team has had one bright spot show through for the entire season.

Caleb Helline. The senior guard has been the one con-

stant for the Lakers all season long, aver-aging an even 21.0 points per game. He’s scored in a variety of ways, from two-point shots, jumpers from beyond the arc and at the free-throw line.

“He’s been solid all year, consistent,” said Danbury head coach Drew Davie. “He’s really stepped up his game form a year ago; that’s due to how hard he worked in the offseason; he was in the gym everyday (during the offseason).

“He’s been solid for us the entire year.”

When he’s played his best, so has Danbury. In the Lakers’ two closest de-feats, against Northwood (47-45) and Bettsville (52-51), Helline, who averaged nine points last season, scored 26 points in each contest.

Davie also compliments Helline on his intangibles, such as his leadership abil-ities.

“He’s a good kid to have around and he leads by ex-ample.”

Despite the team’s rough start to the season, Davie re-mains optimistic.

“We’re continuing to stay

positive all the time,” David said. “We basi-cally said that with the new year, we’d like to start over. They keep working every-day to get better. If we keep fighting and putting together a good four quarters, we feel we can compete with anyone on our schedule.”

Ouch! The Port Clinton Redskins got pounded out of a share of the Sandusky Bay Conference lead Friday night by the heavily favored Perkins Pirates. Both teams came in at 4-0 in the conference, but Per-kins put a licking on the Redskins 76-50 behind 20 points by Brandon Smith in his first game of the year.

“We gave up way too many offensive re-bounds in order to compete with them,” said Coach Troy Diels on Tuesday. “That is something that we need to work on and get fixed. Perkins is a talented team and we can’t let them have that many second chances.”

The Redskins were outscored in every quarter, and were down by 15 at halftime. “We have some things we can learn from and move on. The good thing is that we are still just one game back in the SBC,” said Diels.

PC is now 4-4 heading into the 2012 por-

tion of the season, 4-1 in the Conference. Friday night, another of the teams picked

to finish high in the SBC comes to town: the Huron Tigers.

“Huron is playing a lot of talented guys,” said Diels. “They start a senior, three ju-niors and a sophomore. They bring a ju-nior, sophomore and a freshman off the bench. They are 4-3 overall, but 2-3 in the Conference.”

It is safe to say that a win at PC is critical to Huron’s hopes of competing in the SBC race this year.

“They have a bunch of nice athletes on their team,” Diels said.

Those would be young athletes who are probably getting better every game out.

Saturday night, the Redskins host Fre-mont Ross. The Little Giants are 3-4 over-all and 2-2 in the new Three Rivers Ath-letic Conference.

“They have a nice blend of talented guards and a sold big man in Nick Streak-er,” Diels said.

Portage Inn owner DJ Greenhill stands behind the bar.

There really is someplace special to make you want to drive to Elmore other than Schedel Gardens. DJ and Patti Greenhill and their three children have made a pretty good name for themselves at The Portage Inn in downtown Elmore.

The Portage In was established in the early 1940s and DJ Greenhill purchased it in 2005. Since then they have become a popular neighborhood bar and grill. They have a big screen TV and a couple of pool

tables to keep their customers entertained. Their favorite menu items have become their pizzas and subs and a Taco Salad with a sweet sauce that has been passed down through generations.

So, if you hanker for a warm, hometown atmosphere that is friendly, warm and cozy, The Portage Inn is the place for you. They are open seven days a week. Be sure to ask for Pat Garcia who has been at the Portage Inn for over 26 years.

The Ida Rupp Public Library and the Port Clinton Chamber of Commerce have teamed up to offer a busi-ness presentation, What your Library of the Future Looks Like and What It Can Do for You. As a business profes-sional, you know how hard it is to keep up with the explo-sion of technology and remain relevant in the changing workplace. Nowhere is that more of an issue than in your public library. The community looks to the library to de-liver current information and show patrons how to keep up with today’s world and struggling economy.

During the past year, the local library has been the center of it all, and the next several years promise more changes. Join in for this futuristic presentation and find out what to watch for, learn about free business resources, see how to turn output into outcomes and most importantly, find out how to play an active role in positive change for your business and community.

The workshop is 8:30 to 9:30 a.m. Thursday, Jan. 26, with registration and refreshments starting at 8 a.m. RSVP to the Port Clinton Area Chamber at 419-734-5503 or [email protected] by Jan. 23. Ida Rupp Public Library is located at 310 Madison St., Port Clinton.

A new Caregiver Support Group will begin in January for people who care for an older, disabled or ill family member or friend. The group will meet on the second Wednesday each month at 6:30 p.m. in the Magruder Hospital Conference Center.

The group is being established so care-givers can learn and share about their role

and the resources available to help them with this challenging job. The facilitators will be Michele Mueller of Home Instead and Jody Strickling of Otterbein North Shore.

Participants do not need to RSVP, but if anyone has questions, they can call 419-734-5050.

Caregiver Support GroupVisiting with patients and families is just

one of many volunteer opportunities at Stein Hospice. The not-for-profit agency also needs office workers, dog owner teams and men and women interested in helping at Encore, an upscale resale shop in down-town Sandusky.

Patient care volunteers must first com-plete a six-week (three hours each week) course called LifeCourse, but anyone is welcome to attend the free course. Topics include concepts of death and dying, pain management, family dynamics, spirituality and bereavement.

For information or to register call the Stein Hospice volunteer department, 800-625-5269 or email [email protected].

The upcoming LifeCourse schedule is: • 1 to 4 p.m. Tuesdays, Jan. 17-Feb. 21, at

the Ohio Veterans Home, 3416 Columbus Ave., Sandusky

• 6 to 9 p.m. Wednesdays, Jan. 18-Feb. 22, at Stein Hospice South Campus, 1912 Hayes Ave., 3rd Floor, Sandusky

• 1 to 4 p.m. Thursdays, Jan 19-Feb 23, Ida Rupp Public Library, 310 Madison St., Port Clinton

Magruder Hospital is starting a new eve-ning session of Tai Chi in the Conference Center. The six-part session will be held from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. on the following Mondays: Jan. 16, 23 and 30 and Feb. 6, 20 and 27. The class will be taught by certi-fied instructor Lisa Shuey from the San-dusky County YMCA. Cost for the class is $4 if paid class-by-class, or $20 if paid up front for the entire 6-week session. Partic-ipants should wear comfortable clothes.

Tai Chi originates from China and con-sists of fluid, gentle movements that are relaxed and slow in tempo. It has been shown to relieve stress, pain and stiffness as well as to improve concentration, bal-ance, posture and heart and lung func-tion.

The Port Clinton Artists’ Club is once again sponsor-ing a watercolor painting workshop at the Our Guest Inn featuring guest artist/instructor Mark Polomchak. The classes will be held from 9:30 a.m. until 4 p.m. Fri-day, Saturday and Sunday, Jan. 13-15.

A 1975 graduate in fine art at Indiana University, Polomchak has exhibited his watercolors in various art shows and galleries throughout the United States and Canada. His teaching style is step-by-step, so beginners as well as seasoned painters will go home with a paint-ing suitable for framing from each day of class.

Interested artists can view the class offerings at www.portclintonartistsclub.com where they’ll find the regis-tration brochure under the “workshop” tab. Look for “2012 Polomchak brochure.”

Polomchak’s heartwarming style is achieved through the simplicity and grace of his painting. He produces a wide range of images finding much of his inspiration in the serene lifestyle of the Amish, in the landscapes of the Midwest and the seascapes of New England. Polomchak’s variety of subject matter also includes flo-rals, abstracts, the Southwest and wildlife. His work can be viewed at www.polomchak.com.

This workshop is open to the public and the cost is $55 per day. For information call Club President Dee Cochran at 419-898-6914.
