    30thANNIVERSARY

    BY DONNA LUEKE

    In December of 1982 Ronald Reagan was President. Home mortgage interest rates were

    at 14-16%. The U.S. was just coming out of an inationary spiral. Locally the Port ClintonPress, a free weekly newspaper that had been in business since 1975, was set to close its opera-tions. The recession and hyper-ination had taken its toll. It was just about that time whenformer local radio personality John Schaffner, along with his twopartners, sold their broadcasting license for WKIQ FM Radio inBowling Green. Schaffner was in an unusual position. He waslooking for work again.

    In November of 1982 Schaffner contacted the Sandusky-basedowners of the Port Clinton Press about taking over as the news-papers manager. That is when he learned of the pending closureand decided to revive the newspaper he had managed in 1977and 1978. However, a legal dispute made it impossible to keepthe name of Port Clinton Press. In a dream, Schaffner envisionedthe banner for the new newspaper, and named it The Port Clin-ton Beacon. The 1967 Port Clinton High School graduate thenwent to work. He put together a staff made up of his two neph-ews and sister-in-law and launched the 16-page tabloid newspa-per on Feb. 20, 1983. 30 years later, The Beacon is still thriving.

    The 30th anniversary celebration for The Beacon was hostedby The Port Clinton Chamber of Commerce on Thursday, Feb. 7,at the 1812 Food and Spirits at The Island House in Port Clinton.The 5th and 25th anniversary celebrations of The Beacon werealso held at the Island House. Schaffner, now president of Schaff-ner Publications Inc. and publisher of The Beacon, announcedplans to hold the 50th anniversary celebration of The Beacon atThe Island House as well.

    Looking forward in time, Schaffner put on his Swamis tur-ban and predicted how The Beacon will look when it turns 50in 2033. The original business plan for The Beacon in 1983 wasthe same then as it is now, and I believe will be pretty much thesame in 2033, said Schaffner. Technology is moving media sofast these days that it will be hard to predict, but I still believethat people will enjoy holding that newspaper in their hands tocatch up on local events.

    Looking back in time, Schaffner quoted from the movieMeet Joe Black, When the Anthony Hopkins character made aspeech on his 65th birthday, he told the attendees that every faceis a memory!

    In 1983, the chances of success for the edgling newspaper were slim, but Schaffner persist-ed. He loaded his newspaper with local news and sports, avoided the ugly news stories andfocused on the positives. The newspaper was distributed from the Marblehead Lighthouse tothe west side of Oak Harbor, just as it is today. Schaffner was fortunate to have made manyfriends in his time at WRWR and is convinced today that those friendships gave his newspa-per the level of credibility to help it succeed almost immediately.

    Many of those friends have passed on, but many are still with us today, Schaffner stated.In the 30 years since the 1983, we have been fortunate to keep those old friends and make

    many new ones. Thats why I repeated the Hopkins line every face is a memory, because itis true!

    The biggest changes over those 30 years have come in technology. When we rst started, wehad to hand-deliver written ad and editorial copy four days a week to Sandusky. In the mid-1980s we got our own typesetting equipment and started composing the paper locally. That

    was just about the time when desktop publishing became a reality.We still had to cut and paste the entire paper together and deliverats to the printer each week. Today it is all done electronicallyvia cyberspace. We have always attempted to keep up the mostcurrent printing and publishing technology.

    Several years ago The Beacon added its own website, www.the-beacon.net. Ten years ago or so, all newspapers understood theyneeded to be online. Our advantage was that being online didntmean losing newspaper readership and circulation. It was a wayto extend the reach of The Beacon outside the borders of OttawaCounty and reach huge audiences who nd our local area inter-esting, for whatever reason, said Schaffner. Being a free commu-nity newspaper from the start has made a huge difference in thisarena. Instead of our website being a detriment to readership, it isa bonus to readers, because now we can update our local news ona daily, even hourly basis.

    So, from 1983 when the rst black and white issue of The Beaconwas printed to 2013s Beacon in full size and full color, the evo-lution continues. The original concept, however, remains, saysSchaffner. The Beacon was designed from the start to be totallyintegrated within the communities we serve. It has been designedto help our readers and our community as a whole to live herebetter. The Beacon has proven that over the years and has beennamed the Business of the Year by both the Port Clinton AreaChamber of Commerce and the Marblehead Peninsula Chamberof Commerce. It was also named the Economic Partner of theYear by the Ottawa County Community Improvement Corp.

    Looking at todays Beacon, Volume 31, Issue 1, Schaffner ndsmuch to celebrate. He is appreciative of The Beacons loyal read-ership base. According to the most recent independent audit, itsaverage circulation of 13,600 soars to over 17,000 in the summermonths, and, with each paper being read by an average of tworeaders, that means a readership of upwards of 34,000, making itby far the most read publication in Ottawa County. The growingnumber of website readers are adding to that base. Those who are

    wintering in warmer climates, those who maintain ties to family and friends in Ottawa Coun-ty and those who do all their reading electronically read The Beacon online. The upcomingenhancements for The Beacons website, www.thebeacon.net, are also cause for celebrationfor Schaffner.

    It doesnt happen without the help and support of family, says Schaffner, immediate fam-ily Mary Alice and son Mark, extended family, staff members past and present, and the largerfamily, legions of Beacon readers--my sincere thanks to one and all.

    A couple of weeks ago I wrote about the unusual eventthat nobody was elected to the Port Clinton High SchoolAthletic Hall of Fame. In my article, I wrote asking ifanybody had stats on Larry Wiley, star running back ofthe undefeated 1962 team. Well, guess who called me lastweek? Yep, it was Larry, who lives in Las Vegas now and isa retired electrical worker. I am going to Las Vegas soonfor a newspaper conference, and I told Larry I would de-nitely look him up when I got there.

    The store was immaculate. The service was amazinglypolite and old-fashioned friendly. I was offered a free miniPepsi and a free mini candy bar. And I felt like a person! Ilike this place. Keep up the great training, hiring and funbecause I felt warm and fuzzy leaving there Saturday.

    CATAWBA ISLAND from 1A

    Flagship BeersBacker Forward Brown AleBacker Forward Brown Ale is dark nutty brown ale with light chocolate notes cov-

    ering the alcohol. She gets a smoky bitterness as she warms up in your mouth ol-lowed by caramel avors that lead to a smooth creamy fnish. Puter in Reverse andBacker Forward.

    McFadden Red AleA dedication to a great riend who was taken ar too soon. McFadden Red Ale is

    West Coast Red Ale that utilizes British Ale yeast to throw your palate or a loop. Themalts and hops battle or your attention the second this beer hits your lips and it isup to you to decide who comes out on top.

    Couple Three Hops IPACouple Three Hops IPA is a Hop orward IPA that will send your imagination oat-

    ing on an inner tube in the middle o Lake Erie. At 6.4% ABV this is a beer that canbe enjoyed all day. Utilizing a mixture o American and British malts and a couplethree kinds o hops we have brought orward a bright piney/citrusy avor that isunmatched on a nice sunny Catawba aternoon.

    Is What It Is IPASomeone who likes very malty beers aces a dilemma: either have a couple o great

    beers that will put you to sleep or have some alright beers that you can drink ora while without ever really satisying your taste or the barley. Not any more, myriends. Your problems have been solved. Is What It Is IPA is a ull-bodied, malt or-ward IPA without the ridiculous alcohol content you have come to live with. At 8.0%ABV you can enjoy a ew with riends and stay awake to enjoy the company. The rightmix o grains and extra-long boil hit your lips and hang on as the mixture o NobleHops shine through in the back.

    Lucky Stone LagerYou know that little thrill you get every time you fnd a lucky stone on the beach?

    You will get that same eeling when you fnd Lucky Stone Lager. This is the lager theMacro-Brewers wish they could make. With the mouth eel you have come to expectin a lager and the absence o corn and rice this is a ull-bodied beer anyone couldenjoy. The malts in this beer run the show while allowing a perect hoppyness to showthrough. This may be the best thing you fnd all summer.

    Pebble Beach PorterThis rich smokey porter is the dark beer anatics dream, brewed with a big mixture

    o dark grains, coee and anise. Atop o the slightly bitter malt avor, coee avorsare prevalent through the beginning o your sip while the peat smoke avor slowlytakes over. A perect companion to any campfre.

    Sea Glass StoutA dark creamy stout that is as smooth as sea glass. Crated to leave behind the un-

    spoken rule that a stout should taste like a triple shot o espresso. This easy drinkingcreamy stout is great to warm you up ater a long day o ice fshing or cool you downater a long day on the beach.

    Sunset SingelSunset Singel is an easy drinking Belgian style beer with a slight banana avor, great

    or enjoying the sunset in your avorite lakeront hangout. Similar to a Belgian Tri-

    pel commonly enjoyed by the Monks who originallycoined the style, but as the name suggests, much light-er and tailored to an American palette.

    Specialty BeersCatawba Peach Pilz(Fall Seasonal)A spicy pilsner brewed with the unmistakable Ca-

    tawba Peaches you grew up with.

    Intentionally Sh*#$y LagerI.S.L., the hot dog o beersWe took the advice o our riends at the macro brew-

    eries and mass-brewed a beer too large or our brew-ery, utilized cheap improper/ingredients (like cornand rice) and spent all o our money advertising ourexceptionally sh*#$y beer. Any questions?

    Hopn Mango Habanero Hefweizen(Summer Seasonal)HmH2Coming in at 4.7% ABV, HmH2 is a light, reresh-

    ing wheat beer. But that is where the similarities to aHeweizen end. At the beginning o your sipping ex-perience, you will notice a slight tingling hotness thatdisappears as the mango and citrus avors take over

    your palette .This comes rom a mix o 4 dierenthops added to the beer at dierent times and containsno mango. Your frst sip o many concludes with thewheat and banana avors that remind you that you arein act drinking a Heweizen

    with GARY COON

    Take advantage of higher IRA contribution limitsFor the rst time since 2008, contribu-

    tion limits have risen for one of the mostpopular retirement savings vehicles avail-able: the IRA. This means youve got a

    greater opportunity to put more moneyaway for your golden years.

    Effective Jan. 1, you can now put in up to$5,500 (up from $5,000 in 2012) to a tra-ditional or Roth IRA when you make your2013 contribution. And if youre 50 orolder, you can put in an additional $1,000above the new contribution limit.

    Over time, the extra sums from the high-er contribution limits can add up. Con-sider this example: If you put in $5,000 per

    year to an IRA for 30 years, and you earneda hypothetical 7% per year, youd wind upwith slightly over $505,000. But if you con-tributed $5,500 per year for those same 30

    years, and earned that same 7% per year,youd accumulate almost $556,000, about

    $51,000 more than with the lower contri-

    bution limit.Keep in mind that if you have invested

    the above amounts in a traditional, tax-deferred IRA, youll be taxed on your with-

    drawals at your ordinary income tax rate.With a Roth IRA, your contributions aremade with after-tax funds, but your with-drawals have the potential to be tax-free provided youve had your account atleast ve years and dont start taking with-drawals until youre 59. (Not everyoneis eligible to contribute to a Roth IRA, asincome limits apply.)

    If you have an IRA, you already knowits advantages. If you arent investing inan IRA, you should be aware of these keybenets:

    Tax-deferred growth A traditionalIRA can provide tax-deferred growthwhile a Roth IRA can potentially grow tax-free, provided you meet the conditions de-

    scribed above. To get a sense of just how

    valuable these tax advantages are, considerthis example: If you put in $5,500 per year(the new IRA maximum) for 30 years toa hypothetical investment that earned 7%

    a year, but on which you paid taxes everyyear (at the 25% tax bracket), youd end upwith slightly more than $401,000 about$155,000 less than what youd accumu-late in an IRA. As mentioned above, youwill eventually have to pay taxes on yourtraditional IRA withdrawals, but by thetime you do, you might be in a lower taxbracket. Furthermore, depending on yourincome level, some of your contributionsto a traditional IRA may be tax-deductible.(Roth IRA contributions are not deduct-ible.)

    Variety of investment options Youcan invest your funds within your IRAin many types of investments stocks,bonds, certicates of deposit (CDs), U.S.

    Treasury securities and so on. In fact,

    within your IRA, you can create a mix ofinvestments that are suitable f
