Christ’s Community Meal: Feeding Huron’s Needy and Building Community

Around Town Page 2 & 8 ——————

BY LISA YAKO In 2009, Chris Hakeman of Huron was given a vision by God to help her neighbors in need. Chris had already been volunteering in area soup kitchens and food pantries, but her heart became burdened for those in her own community. Hence, out of this vision, Christ’s Community Meal was born. Chris knew that this vision was too big for her to handle alone, so she met with her pastor at Christ Episcopal Church who, in turn, encouraged her to meet with the pastors of all of Huron’s churches.

Chris was overwhelmed when each churchChrist Episcopal, First Presbyterian, St. Peter’s, Zion Lutheran, Lighthouse Assembly of God, and Huron United Methodist- agreed to support the meal both financially and by encouraging their members to volunteer.

Christ’s Community Meal began in November of 2009 and was held once per month at Christ Episcopal Church. Due to the overwhelming attendance at those first meals and the fact that the basement at Christ Church where the meal was served was not handicap accessible, the location of the meal was moved to First Presbyterian Church in December 2010.

Roughly 40 individuals are fed a hearty meal each month. In addition, about 20 people take home a meal and another 20+ meals are delivered to those who cannot attend. The deliveries are made to those who are not only in need financially, but also to those who are ill or cannot prepare a meal for themselves. The March meal included meatloaf, gravy, potatoes, homemade macaroni and cheese, green beans, salad, and rolls. Of course, there were many desserts from which to choose, as well as

a variety of beverages. Attendees also had the opportunity to take home some grocery items.

All in all, no one went home hungry. Mission

nity Meal and mailed to First Presbyterian Church, 225 Williams St., Huron, Ohio.

If you are in need of a good meal or just

accomplished!

In an effort to help those in need a bit more frequently, Christ’s Community Meal will be held on both the second and fourth Wednesdays of the month beginning in April. For April, this will be on the 13th and 27th. With this increase in frequency comes a need for more volunteers. If you are able to help with setting up the tables, food preparation, serving the meal, or clean up, please contact Chris Hakeman at 419-433-4903. Financial contributions are greatly appreciated also. Checks should be made payable to Christ’s Commu-

some good company, please plan to attend the next Christ’s Community Meal. For those who would like a meal delivered, contact Chris Hakeman to make arrangements. Finally, if you know of a friend or neighbor who is ill or housebound and would appreciate a meal, call Chris, and she will arrange a delivery for them.

For Chris Hakeman, the success of this simple idea and the overwhelming support from the community is phenomenal. “This is God’s will. It has meant everything to me.” stated Hakeman with a smile.

FROM THE BENCH New Way to Pay Reinstatement Fees

BY JUDGE BILL STEUK, HURON MUNICIPAL COURT The Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) has recently announced that Ohio drivers may now pay suspension reinstatement fees via phone by calling the automated telephone systems 1-866-0PLATES. Previously, reinstatement fees could be paid only by mail, online or in person at a reinstatement center. These options are still available. The link to pay reinstatement fees online is available at www.oplates.com or you can or you can access the link at BMV website at www.bmv.ohio.gov. In order to pay online or by calling 1-866-OPLATES, the reinstatement fee must be Twenty-Five Dollars ($25.00) or more and the fee must be paid by check only by entering the nine (9) digit routing number and the account number at the bottom of the check.

Although this new option of calling to pay the reinstatement fees is a much easier method, all other reinstatement requirements such as court appearances, clearing suspensions in other states, community service or filing proof of insurance much also be completed before driving privileges can be restored. Please check the BMV website at www.bmv.ohio.gov for further information.

Rob Smith Set To Release New Book at Huron Public Library

BY LISA YAKO Huron resident and established author, Rob Smith, will hold a book release and signing for his latest novel, McGowan’s Return. The event will be held at the Huron Public Library on Wednesday, April 13 at 6:45 PM. Half of the proceeds from the sales of the book will benefit the Huron Public Library.

McGowan’s Return is the third book in Smith’s McGowan series. Smith’s main character, Davis McGowan, is based on Smith’s own life. Interestingly, Davis was Smith’s grandmother’s SMITH maiden name, and McGowan equates to Smith in Scottish, Smith’s ancestral heritage. Smith is a retired minister, and so is McGowan. Smith lives in Huron; so does McGowan. The parallels are numerous. According to Smith, “McGowan stuff is really things that I know about or that happened in a different setting, but the situations (in the novels) are absolutely fictitious.� Smith intended to write only one McGowan adventure, but he is now working

on his fourth book in the series and has realized that the McGowan stories were easy to write because they are somewhat therapeutic for him. However, this particular novel was delayed by six months as Smith and his wife, Nancy, refurbished an old house in the Old Plat neighborhood.

In McGowan’s Return, Davis McGowan finds himself as the interim pastor of a church located on Public Square in downtown Cleveland. Due to this new position, McGowan must commute from Huron to Cleveland several times per week. However, the majority of the story takes place in Lakewood. In terms of the setting of the story, residents of Huron, Lakewood, and Cleveland will feel nostalgic reading this novel due to the familiarity with the landmarks and streets mentioned. Seemingly an unlikely adventure for a minister, this story involves a serial killer, a young detective, a merchant marine, a faithful neighbor, and others whose lives are woven together into the plot.

If you cannot attend the book release at the Huron Public Library, all of Smith’s books can be purchased on Amazon. com or BarnesandNoble.com. Alternately, McGowan’s Return can be found at the Great American Exchange in Huron. For more information, please visit DrinianPress.com.

Shawnee Elementary Students Celebrate ‘Right to Read’ Week The students of Shawnee Elementary School celebrated Right to Read Week last week. The week was packed full with exciting goals and challenges while encouraging the students to focus on the basic concept of reading. The theme for this year’s week-long event was “Recipe for Reading”. Posters decorated by the students filled the halls giving recipes listing the ingredients on how to be a good reader. The week was kicked off on Monday with an assembly where students took turns reading to a partner for ten minutes.

“Reading Recipe Cards” were filled out by the students after each book was completed and placed in a large cooking pot.

Other students could preview the recipes to determine if the book sounded “appetizing”.

In addition to reading awareness the staff also incorporated “healthy eating” habits into the daily lessons. Each morning there were healthy food tips read by students during the announcements.

The students were given chefs hats to illustrate their favorite healthy foods and on Wednesday students were asked to wear the color of their favorite fruit or vegetable. The hallways could have been mistaken for a garden filled with tomatoes, carrots, strawberries, green apples and blueberries.

In celebration of their reading success, on Friday the students were treated to a taste testing during their lunch time by the kitchen staff. Everyone was encouraged to taste a

healthy pumpkin mousse made from a variety of spices.

Students were asked to cast a vote as to whether or not they liked the mousse. The general consensus was a large display

of smiling happy faces, a common site around Shawnee Elementary. In addition to the taste test, the students were also treated to a special week-end Magic Show brought in by the Huron PTO. The very enthusiastic magician entertained the energetic student crowd by incorporating and reiterating the good nutrition theme into his act as he concluded the 2011 Right to Read week at Shawnee Elementary School.

Sports Tiger Tennis Team Opens with Win The mens tennis team began the 2011 campaign with a 3-2 victory over the visiting Willard Flashes.

“All in all we had a tough match today. We only have two returning varsity players from last year so we had some butterflies.” commented Coach Hodges. “Our doubles teams may be raw right now, but I believe they will make their marks by the end of the year. Once we get rolling and get our confidence as a team built up I think we will have a great year.”

Senior Athletes Honored The city of Huron, its school district, and basketball programs have watched two special student athletes take their final bows on the winter athletic stage. Brian Bollenbacher and Lauren Volz, because their talent was recognized early on, seem to have been playing varsity sports here forever. Both excelled in the Fall leading their respective teams into the postseason.

The women’s golf team made it all the way to state.

Both athletes faced very different challenges during this 2010-2011 basketball season. Bo was to lead a team full of very young, albeit talented kids that had a lot of learning ahead of them. Meanwhile, Lauren was to play on a senior laden team, but one that had experienced very little success. In the end, both Senior Brian Bollenshined through their chal- bacher. lenges and were recognized outside the community for their individual achievements.

“Brian was always the first in the gym and the last to leave and if you saw any of our games he played as hard as he could because he hates to lose. Brian was that way in practice, and the younger kids saw that work ethic day in and day out. Brian displayed this work ethic not only in the gym but also in the classroom as he is a 4.0 student and the number 1 boy in his class.”

That is how head coach Bobby James felt about his team captain. Bollenbacher was first team SBC and District 6.

He also made second team for the Northwest District and Honorable Mention All-State. He is also currently in the running a spot on the Academic All-Ohio squad.

More important than his 16.2 points per game average or 750 career points, he was essential ingredient in the development of the young Tigers. James said that Brian showed the younger kids what it took, in terms of work ethic, to be a good varsity basketball player. In tight games, Bollen-

bacher would make good decisions and take the fight to the opposition when things seemed to be slipping away. He would take the big shot, or dive into a pile to force a jump ball. There is not much more you can ask of leader.

The ladies varsity squad’s head coach Ty Ray gives out a Miss Offense award every year. No surprise that Volz has won it every year starting with her freshman season. For Lauren’s senior year however, he decided to change the name of it to simply... MVP. That’s because she lead this years team in points, assists, both offensive and defensive rebounds, and steals. Like Bo, she was also the team’s captain and took part in the SBC Wendy’s All-Star Classic game.

Her list of achievements are quite remarkable for this season: Second team all-SBC, SBC All-Academic, and All-District team. She twice set the school record for three pointers in a single game with seven and now holds the school’s career mark with 156 from behind the arc. She also scored 939 points total in her career.

Senior Lauren Volz with her parents, Jeff and Patty Volz.

As previously reported here, Lauren will be spending her college career golfing for Ohio University while she pursues a degree in physical therapy. Meanwhile, Brian is uncertain whether or not he will pursue athletics at the next level.

He has been accepted into the Fisher School of Business at The Ohio State University, but hasn’t ruled out playing basketball somewhere.

Tiger Baseball Bounces Back with Two Wins After the Tigers struggled with their home opener against Vermilion, at the new Tiger Fields, Huron has bounced back with two wins and a loss despite the cold, early spring weather.

“We are still shaking some rust off of many of our players.

Our basketball kids have only had about seven practices to get into the swing,” said said head varsity coach Dustin Kastor. “I’m sure our bats will warm up along with the weather.”

The first home win of the season came in a non-conference game against Danbury. Kastor’s squad fell behind 2-0 in the top of the first inning. But junior pitcher Drew Enderle settled in and threw seven scoreless innings including 11 K’s. In the meantime, the Huron offense picked up a run in the third and fifth innings to tie the game. Freshman Cody Thompson came in relief of Enderle and struck out the side in the top of ninth. Brandon Johnson, who went 4 for 4 on the evening, scored the game winner in the bottom of the ninth for the 3-2 victory.

Against Bellevue, the Tigers ran into a buzz saw of a pitcher named Mike Fry. Brandon Johnson led off the game with a double and there would only be one more hit all evening to speak of, by Nick Butler. Huron was defeated, 4-0.

According to Coach Kastor, “ Fry found a grove in the fifth inning and he finished the game in a very strong way. He struck out the side in the seventh inning. He seemed to get stronger as the game went on.”

The final win of the week came against Western Reserve.

The game went back and forth through out. The Tigers went up 2-1 after the home half of the first inning. Johnson led off the game with a triple. Brian Bollenbacher walked, then stole second. Both scored, first on a sacrifice fly by Nick Butler, then on a base hit by Troy Delamatre.

Western took the lead back by scoring a run in both the third and fourth innings. Huron tied the game in the sixth inning. In the seventh, Brandon Johnson reached base on an error, then made second base on a passed ball. Bollenbacher then sacrifice bunted him to third. Butler then stepped up and drove in the game winning run through the middle of the infield.

“We made a lot of careless errors tonight,” said a relieved Coach Kastor, “but we made enough plays to get the win.”

Cody Thompson and Troy Delamatre combined their pitching efforts for the 4-3 Tiger victory.

Coach Optimistic of Young Team 2012 Cleveland Rd., Huron 419-502-4348 3104 Milan Rd., Sandusky 419-609-9262 www.anytimefitness.com

Coach Mike Everman’s softball team opened the 2011 campaign 0-3 despite a brand new ball field at Woodlands.

But there is room for optimism in this young season.

Freshman Amanda Vacca and senior Lauren Volz are hitting the ball very well. First time varsity pitcher, Karissa Shepherd, has proved to be the work horse for the staff, starting all three games and should improve as the weather turns warmer.

The Lady Tigers opened the season at home against Western Reserve. Shepherd pitched well in her first start and the team played solid defense behind her. That will be key this season as she is not a strike out producing machine like Corso was last season. Kate Weber went 3 for 3 with two doubles and a single. Renee St. Clair crushed a double Beginning at Two Months in the fourth, scoring two, and temporarily giving the home team a 2-1 lead. But Western knocked in four

Hey Mom, Immunize!

runs in the top half of the sixth inning. Huron loaded the bases in the seventh inning down by two runs but just couldn’t get the winning score across. The final was 5-4.

On Saturday, the Tigers hosted the tough hitting squad from Eastwood for a doubleheader. It didn’t help matters that four junior starters on the team were in Washington DC on their annual class trip and the home team filled their spots off the JV squad.

“The JV girls that filled in did great today and held their own in those spots... I am very proud of them,” said Coach Everman.

Huron dropped both games (13-4, 14-5) to Eastwood.

Highlights of the day for the Tigers included shortstop Lauren Volz hitting the first home run at the new Tiger Softball Field to go along with her triple, three runs, and two RBI’s. Vacca went for 4 for 7 on the afternoon. During the second game, Olivia Warren went 2 for 3 with two doubles and two runs scored. In the same game, Shepherd took a line drive of the leg and had to come out, but freshman pitcher Kierra McKitrick took the circle and did a fine job in a tough spot according to Coach Everman.

Are you ever really going to wear those prom or formal dresses again? Free up some closet space and donate the dresses to EHOVE Career Center’s Student Council Prom Dress Drive.

EHOVE Diesel Truck Technology student and Student Council President Betsy Thayer, Vermilion High School, is continuing the effort started two years ago by the previous President and EHOVE Carpentry student Robin Miller of Western Reserve High School.

“Numerous students were able to have an affordable way to attend prom, and we hope to be able to make that happen for more again this year,” said LaFollette.

The collection is year round, then the school holds a “Rental Day”, where interested EHOVE students may try on dresses and make a selection. A minimal rental charge is based on the student’s ability to pay, and used only to cover dry cleaning costs. The dresses will be dry cleaned over Spring Break and ready for pickup when students return to school.

Pictured at right is EHOVE Diesel Truck Technology student and Student Council President Betsy Thayer with many of the dresses collected.

Can’t Wait to Garden?

MARY STRAYER, MASTER GARDENER, AUTHOR People, who really enjoy gardening, want to garden all year round, and that is really hard to do in USDA Zone 5 Ohio in the deep winter months. The following is a listing of things that could be done now, in preparation for the upcoming growing season.

1920 Cleveland Road West, Huron Want to plant out early, build a cold 419-433-4990 frame. A cold frame is really a minMaking a difference... one resident at a time. iature greenhouse, used by gardeners to start plants earlier because you can protect the seedlings during cold spells. Make a cold frame by simply piling straw bales in a square, and placing old windows over the structure. On a sunny day, the outside temperatures can go up quickly, so you need to monitor your cold frame, and open up the windows until evening again, when you would close them cold frame. On very cold nights it helps to cover the cold frame completely with an old blanket. This set-up allows you to plant spinach and cold hardy lettuce in the ground in the cold frame, or use it to harden off seedlings you started in the home.

You might also consider making a bird feeder, or a trelincludes soup & salad bar lis. How about making those special stepping-stones you $ 00 5:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m. wanted for the garden last year, but didn’t have time to make? You could build flower boxes for your window, or Every Friday During Lent OFF how about for the barn out back. You could even build the Begining March 11 trellis for your veggie garden. Climbing cucumbers do grow well on a trellis. How about decorating some terra cotta Happy Hour Mon. - Fri. 4:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m. pots to fit into your color scheme for the patio this year? $ 2 Tall Domestic Drafts • $2 Bottles Choose You could also paint a mailbox, install it in your garden (or from Miller Lite, Coors Light, MGD or MGD 64 have it ready to install when the weather breaks!) and use 1/2 Price Appetizers (excludes 4-wheelers) this mailbox for hand tools and supplies and yet keep them protected from bad weather.

Live bands every Saturday night!

Fruit trees and flowering shrubs are best pruned in late Hours: Mon. - Thur. 11:30am - 10pm, winter, before buds show. Do this after the coldest weather Fri. & Sat. 11:30am - 1am, Sun. 12pm - 8pm is past, but before you see any buds forming. Be sure to check a gardening manual for each type of tree or shrub 5150 Liberty Ave., Vermilion, OH you intend to prune.

440-967-3724 • www.thelube.com With all the snow that lay on our ground so long, now is the time to look about for any damage done by animals. Rabbits, voles and other critters nibble on lower branches and these need to be taped or removed. I usually wait to see if they CALL ROBYN will but out, but taping on a dry day helps a lot.

Lastly I would suggest installing a winter station. We did this last year, and it was at 419-433-1401 amusing to have our own to run weather forecast, and compare it to the Cleveland or Toledo area weather forecasts on television. It also tells you things like humidity, and soon you will know in the HURON by looking at the gages if it HOMETOWN is really pleasant in the gardens or not.
