Friends of ALS Victim Ask For Communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Help Many of us have heard of someone who is battling Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)often referred to as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lou Gehrigâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Disease.â&#x20AC;? In the City of Huron that someone is Michael Danilo, a long-time Huron resident who is a familiar face throughout the community.

Mike is fighting a courageous battle and doing so with inspiration, determination and humor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lou Gehrigâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Disease,â&#x20AC;? is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord. Based on U.S. population studies, more than 5,600 people in the U.S. are diagnosed with ALS each

year. (Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 15 new cases a day.)

To help Mike with his medical bills and expenses, the Huron community has banded together to help in different ways by donating time and services. Friends have arranged for the following fund-raising events, and are encouraging community members to come out and support efforts: Tuesday, May 18 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Jimâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pizza Box in Huron will donate 10 percent of total sales for dine-in, delivery or carry-out. A huge THANK YOU to Jim and Nancy West of Jimâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pizza Box for supporting this cause.

Saturday, June 5 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Friends have searched and gathered treasures to sell at the Huron City Wide Garage Sale held this day at the Huron Boat Basin. All proceeds will go to the Danilo family.

Sunday, June 27 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Inspiration Run 5K Run/ Walk at Fabens Park. This is a Huron Parks and Recreation event/fund-raiser that spotlights a person or cause each year. This year, 50 percent of the $10 entry fee will go to the Danilo family.

With only four weeks of school left there is plenty of time to bring up the grades. The Student Exchange, launched this past February, is a tutoring program designed for students to assist students with just that.

The program has been challenged by the test of time and has proven to be very successful in more ways than one. Patty VanBarg, tutor exchange advisor and John Ruf, principal, have overseen the program from the beginning. One reason the program has been a huge success is because of the great relations among the students. There were dedicated tutors and appreciative recipients. Currently, there are 38 tutors helping students who may be struggling or in need of some form of additional help. Throughout the day there are four to six tutors available to help.

At this time the only servicing request that has fallen short are those in need of Spanish tutoring. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are working closely with Mrs. Arambula, the Spanish teacher, to provide Spanish tutors on Fridays,â&#x20AC;? VanBarg said.

Since February there have been 40 tutor requests and countless dedicated hours. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am so proud of the Tutors who volunteer their time to help their classmates,â&#x20AC;? VanBarg said. These requests have generated multiple tutoring sessions, usually one to three times per week. The 38 tutors were chosen by their teachers, based on their potential for leadership in Huron High School and excelling in three or more subjects.

Many students struggle with test taking.

Students will request an exchange tutor to review and study a day or two before taking a test.

Others request a tutor to help with homework a few days a week. Students sometimes seem to understand the new content in class when the teacher is teaching, but then when they are working at home alone, they struggle. Many students have been helped by being paired with an exchange tutor who meets to review homework such as algebra, explained VanBarg.

Many high school teachers and coaches have

helped make the program successful. For example, a young lady was struggling in math and had a full schedule with track after school.

VanBarg was creative and able to find a tutor on the track team who was willing to tutor between track events and after track at the stadium.

The administration, staff and student body have been working together as a team to help students succeed. If a teacher feels as though a

student is struggling, they will offer the student exchange services. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Almost all students have accepted the invitation graciously. The fact is this program is making a difference. Students have someone to go to if they need the help.

Many parents have called to thank us for helping their child succeed,â&#x20AC;? VanBarg said.

Another reason the program has been so successful is because of the organizational resources and tools used to keep the program going. The program was launched using Google

Apps Education Edition â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a set of customizable tools that allow faculty, staff and students to work together and learn more effectively.

Google Docs and Google Sites enable students and teachers to share documents online, at any time and from any location. The Google Apps Education Edition is ad-free and free of charge.

The tutoring request is made on the Huron High School Web site and the Google Apps Program sends an automatic email to VanBarg.

A tutor is notified through the Google Apps email at school. The tutor then makes contact with the requesting student during their available study hall, and arrangements are made for study sessions, discussions of subjects and availability. Parents and teachers are also able to request a tutor for struggling students. In many cases the person being tutored is given a Google account so that the tutor and student can email communications with each other to better facilitate the tutoring.

Google Apps and Google Docs allows for two or more Huron students to work on the same document in real time, giving everyone the ability to edit. This can be done at home, school or anywhere there is Internet access. Students can begin writing a paper at home on their Huron Google account and go to school and open the account to continue the work or to print.

The following students have dedicated themselves to the program: Angela Barbour, Paige Bragg, Emily King, Dani Czekja, Zach Dusza, Meg Mischler, Nathan Reineck, Jordon Romack, Colleen Machovina, Katie Zimmer, Keily Balduff, Bryce Haase, Thomas Kyer, Ben Washburn, Kayla Riddle, Jen Fialka, Faith Johnson, Ikki Tanaka, Matt Buckingham, Nino Majoy, Chris Wobser, Lauren Dewey, Austin Maddox, Kate Jones, Kathleen Fialka, Katie Fink, Taylor Asberry, Melissa Moberg, Dylan Corwin, Nick Lowry, Josh Marshall, Randi Minton, Andrea Gillespie Dan Nagy, Katie Thorne, Rachel Stelzer, Sam Wechter and Carley Fawcett.

Judge Lays Out the Law on Funeral Processions

NE

BY JUDGE BILL STEUK, HURON MUNICIPAL COURT Many drivers are unclear as to what to do when they confront a funeral procession, especially at an intersection. Ohio Revised Code Section 4511.451 is the law in that regard. This section defines a funeral procession as “two or more vehicles accompanying the cremated remains or the body of a deceased person in the daytime when each of the vehicles has its headlights lighted and displaying a purple and white or an orange and white pennant attached to each vehicle.”

Except for public safety vehicles or when directed by a police officer, pedestrians and the operators of all vehicles shall yield the right of way to each vehicle that is in a funeral procession. This section also states that when the lead vehicle in a funeral procession (usually the hearse) lawfully enters an intersection, the remainder of the vehicles in the procession may continue to follow the lead vehicle through the intersection regardless of the traffic control device. Vehicles that are part of the funeral procession are required to exercise due care while traveling in the procession to avoid colliding with any other vehicle or pedestrian.

Please note that the law requires that all vehicles in a funeral procession have their headlights activated and display the purple and white or orange and white pennant so that it is clearly visible to approaching traffic from any direction.

A violation of this section is considered a minor misdemeanor. However, the degree of offense can be elevated if the violator has prior offenses.

I hope this gives you a better understanding of the laws regarding funeral processions. It is important that all drivers who confront a funeral procession be patient and courteous to ensure the safety of all those involved.

Articles appearing in this column are intended to provide broad, general information about the law. Before applying this information to a specific legal problem, readers are urged to seek advice from an attorney.

Over the first weekend in May, the Huron Knights of Columbus conducted our 10th annual Measure Up Campaign along with the councils across Ohio. We look forward each year to this campaign as it serves people with developmental disabilities and your support is crucial. The weekend was very successful and we want to say thank you to the citizens of Huron for their generous donations. And a special thanks to Katmans, Ace Hardware, Cornell’s and the Huron Market for their support. Your generosity and kindness is limitless. The Knights of Columbus also serves many other causes, such as blood drives for the Red Cross, highway clean-ups and scholarship funding, to name a few.

Helping those with developmental disabilities is near and dear to our hearts and it is also good to know 80 percent of the donations goes directly to our fellow special needs citizens in Erie County. We are truly blessed to be living in

a great community with such caring neighbors.

Our Sincere Gratitude, Knights of Columbus, St. Edwards Council 5023 of Huron Dennis Pell, Dave Bruck, and Jack Busam, Grand Knight

Fundraiser Thank You The management and staff of Huron Discount Drug Mart would like to thank all of our loyal customers for supporting us with our Muscular Dystrophy fundraiser.

We raised $1,718 with the sale of shamrocks and three bake sales throughout the year.

We placed first in our division and fourth out of 68 Drug Marts. Once again, we thank you. We have truly great customers.

Sincerely, Huron Drug Mart Staff

City Looks for Grant Funds to Clean up Waterfront Area SUBMITTED BY ANDY WHITE, CITY MANAGER The city’s request for a $2 million Clean Ohio Revitalization Fund grant will be considered at the Round 8 Award meeting by the Clean Ohio Council on Thursday, May 27.

The COC consists of 14 members from state government and gubernatorial appointment and is responsible to approve and disapprove grant requests. If awarded, the city’s request will provide for environmental remediation and demolition of the former ConAgra milling and shipping operation. A project announcement is available at http:// www.cityofhuron.org/documents/CORFWebAnnouncement.pdf.

In the interim period between award announcement and the release of funding, city council will consider two contracts to begin an initial demolition exercise this month.

On May 5, the city accepted bids from several firms for as-

bestos abatement and demolition of auxiliary buildings at the site.

The asbestos abatement project, necessary to complete prior to any demolition, received a low bid of $29,627.

The best demolition project bid will generate a $52,500 payment to the city because of the value of the recyclable materials in the buildings to be razed. The method used by the city to advertise these bids netted the city $22,873 pending city council acceptance.

In addition to monetary compensation, the removal of the auxiliary buildings will provide a cosmetic improvement to the city’s appearance from the water. It also removes expenditures that would have been included as objective tasks in the city’s grant request to the state. Most importantly, the projects represent forward progress with regards to the city’s redevelopment efforts.

Fisher-Titus Medical Center’s Autism Spectrum Kids program has teamed up with Premiere Theater 8 in Norwalk to bring families and children with autism and other disabilities a unique private showing of the movie “Shrek Forever After.”

The movie will be adapted to be a “sensory friendly” film, and will be shown at 10 a.m. Saturday, May 22, at Premiere Theater 8, 50 Theater Drive, Norwalk. Children on the autism spectrum and with other disabilities can be oversensitive to light and sound, making it difficult for them to enjoy a typical movie showing.

“During sensory friendly films the sound is turned down, the lights remain on, and there are no previews or trailers,” said Dani Davie, occupational and sensory integration certified therapist at FTMC.

Drs. Jones and Peyton-Cook are on the medical staff of Firelands Regional Medical Center and are part of the multi-specialty practice of North Coast Professional Company (NCPC).

“These modifications create a sensory friendly environment that will decrease the likelihood that the child will become overstimulated.”

In regular movie showings, children are expected to remain seated and stay still and quiet for up to two hours, a task that can be very difficult for children with autism.

“At our sensory friendly film, children will be able to talk, sing, dance, walk around, move and take a break as needed,” said Lindsey Soisson, speech-language pathologist and FTMC’s special programs coordinator.

Children will be able to bring in their own gluten-free, casein-free, or other special snacks if on restricted diets, but the concession stand will also be open. “We realize that children with autism and other disabilities have unique challenges in regards to social and community activities, and often may not get to join their families and friends at the theater,” Soisson said. “This type of adapted showing gives these HOMETOWN NEWS children the opportunity GREAT PRESS FOR A GREAT LAKE PLACE to enjoy a movie with their Published by Huron Press, LLC. families in a safe and accepting environment.”

MARY STRAYER, MASTER GARDENER When I was a child, my mother always had a memory garden, and to her it was a special flower hopefully from a loved oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s garden, or one that reminded my mom of that person. Today, they are being done a little differently, but most assuredly they are beautiful and very meaningful.

To begin with, pick a place in your landscape that can be seen by a window you look out often, or where an outdoor seating area could be added. Keep in mind the sun, wind, water and soil requirements for the plants you want to add to your garden. Remember that sun-loving plants need at least six hours of sun a day, and shade plants will wither in direct sun.

There are many items or plant types that you could have in your memory garden. Keeping size in mind, consider a tree, whether large or small. A smaller tree is nice for a smaller garden and a larger tree is better for a large garden. Consider weeping trees, as well as blooming trees for your garden. Most of all, try to make the connection to the loved one when you make your selections.

For instance, my aunt hybridized peonies, and gave my mother some over the years. I did my best to make sure I got a start of one of the original peonies to keep as a remembrance forever of both my mom and my aunt.

The idea worked well, and the plant survives today.

If this idea wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work or you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the identical plant, then choose one that is available and add it to your own memorial garden.

How about adding a small pond feature to memorialize a loved one who enjoyed fishing? Incorporate these types of things into your garden, and your garden will always have meaning to you in a very special way.

Try to add a bench or some type of seating in the memorial garden if at all possible. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nice to sit there and remember good things about each of the people you loved. If a relative or friend loved chocolate, go to the greenhouse and pick up a chocolate-scented or chocolate-colored flower for the garden. Was the person a lover of the color blue? Then you could plant a flower that blooms in that color. One old-time favorite is the perennial bachelor buttons available today at local garden stores.

Just remember whatever you do, claim these and all your garden projects as your very own. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so much fun to create, and to then go out and enjoy your creations year after year. Happy Gardening.

Health & Wellness Firelands Acquires Modern Equipment for Digestive Health Firelands Regional Medical Center recently became the only hospital in Northeast Ohio – and second in the state – to acquire state-of-the-art equipment that will aid in quicker and more accurate diagnoses of digestive problems.

The Sierra Scientific ManoScan360 for Esophageal Manometery allows Digestive Health Center physicians at Firelands to use a catheter that has eight times more sensors than older systems to help diagnose the cause of swallowing disorders, such as trouble swallowing, pain when swallowing, and trouble keeping food down. It can also be used to evaluate patients with heartburn, those who are experiencing non-cardiac chest pain, and those with neurogenetic swallowing problems related to stroke and central nervous system problems.

“An esophageal manometry motility study tests the muscles of the esophagus, which is what you use to swallow, as well as the band of muscles at the bottom of the esophagus,”

said Sheila McFarland, charge nurse of Firelands’ Digestive Health Center. “If this lower muscle grows weak or doesn’t close the right way, food and liquid can move back up into the esophagus and cause heartburn.”

As the region’s only health-care facility to offer comprehensive digestive health services, the Digestive Health Center specializes in services for patients having gastrointestinal, pulmonary diagnostics, therapeutic and pain relief procedures. The center consists of four surgical suites and 14 private rooms for admission, recovery and discharge. The highlytrained staff and team of surgeons perform more than 3,500 procedures annually.

In addition, Firelands new ManoScan 360 provides numerous patient benefits: Reduces procedure time to 10 minutes as opposed to 45 minutes with conventional systems; Produces faster, and more accurate reports for physicians;

Is more comfortable for the patients by allowing the physician to leave the catheter in one position during the study as opposed to moving it into several positions with older systems.

The Firelands’ Auxiliary provided the $92,000 necessary to purchase the ManoScan, as well as high-resolution catheters, and a pH recorder for visualization.

Student to Win Car Friday EHOVE Career Center will give away a car Friday to one lucky student as part of its Perfect Attendance Initiative. At noon on May 14 in front of EHOVE’s A Building, all EHOVE students will be present to find out who will win the donated 1997 Ford Taurus.

Students qualify as having perfect attendance if they have no absences, no tardiness, and no suspensions. Getting a chance to win is simple, if students follow the basics. “Be here, be on time, and make good decisions,” said Assistant Principal Rod Smith.

The following 24 students had perfect attendance and qualified for the drawing: Tyler Ellick, Hu-

ron High School; Taylor Fitzwater, Norwalk High School; Libertad Flores, Danbury High School; Joe (Chris) Fowler, Perkins High School; Jennifer Franklin, New London High School; Joseph Gerber, Bellevue High School; Nathan Gray, Edison High School; Dylan Hale, South Central High School; Michael Hanneman, St. Paul High School; Tyler Hollis, Edison High School; Brandon Hoover, Norwalk High School; Sara Hugo, Vermilion High School; Katilyn Hurst, South Central High School; Sonnie Lang, Vermilion High School; Shane Martin, Perkins High School; Kayleigh Miller, Western Reserve High School; Nick Orzech, St. Mary High

School; Amanda Pfanner, Perkins High School; Joanne Smith, Perkins High School; Jacob Stierhoff, Margaretta High School; Jarrid Tucker, Margaretta High School; Justin Twary, South Central High School; Danielle Wallen, Monroeville High School; and Alandra Willis, Danbury High School.

The car was donated by Tom Surdyk, a former Sandusky City Schools teacher. After EHOVE received the vehicle, it first became another opportunity for some students to learn, as those in the Auto Tech program and their instructor went over the vehicle for safety purposes and fixed any problems they encountered.

Assistant Director Mark Ring-

lein said: “EHOVE’s attendance incentives are a great way to reward students who are demonstrating a commitment to their future by coming to school regularly. Our advisory members and business partners routinely tell us that workplace skills like punctuality and attendance are very important to them.”

The career center also does weekly and quarterly drawings, with prizes that include MP3 players, iPods, gift cards, a Wii game system and Guitar Hero.

The longer the time period with no absences, the bigger the prize in the drawing. Prizes have been donated by local businesses, citizens or staff, or paid for by grants.

EHOVE Experiences Rising Enrollment More local high school students will attend EHOVE Career Center’s high school next year.

Career center officials are seeing an enrollment increase of about 13 percent for the 20102011 school year. The facility serves students from 16 school districts primarily from Erie, Huron and Ottawa counties.

Three new programs are being offered next year: Green science technology; exercise science/rehab therapy; and forensics. EHOVE Principal Denny Muratori feels they are only part of the reason for the increase, citing that first-rate academic courses and partnerships with more post-secondary institu-

tions (where high school students can gain free college credit while attending EHOVE) have also drawn both students and parents.

Flexibility of student schedules is also a big help to many during their time at EHOVE. Many students need to manage their academic class time on EHOVE’s

campus and/or local college campuses, on the job training at local businesses, plus activities and sports at their home high school. EHOVE works with students to help them stay involved with their home high school activities and classmates, while gaining the necessary education and experience.

EHOVE’s Students Organize Blood Drive Four EHOVE students in the Public Safety High School; Nicholas Gebelle, Huron High Academy recently organized a blood drive with School; Rachel Colyer, Norwalk High School; the American Red Cross. Nick Grine, St. Paul and Alyssa Koelsch, Edison High School; worked with Red Cross staff to make the event happen. Other EHOVE students and staff members joined in on the effort to assist the community.

EHOVE Carpentry student Ben Rike, Bellevue High School, said he’s donating for the second time, the first being at EHOVE, too. “I read somewhere that most donate only once. I want to help my family and others.

You know, pay it forward.”

EHOVE students and staff contributed a total of 127 pints of blood. At December’s drive, they donated 106 pints as well.

Fellow EHOVE student AnnaMarie Herold, Perkins High School, who is enrolled in the Health Tech program, is also a second-time donor. “It just makes sense to donate. Why not?” she said.

As a special thank you, the American Pictured L-R are Public Safety students Nick Red Cross awarded EHOVE Career Grine, Nicholas Gebelle, Rachel Colyer, Alyssa Center with $1,500 in scholarships.

The Week in Varsity Softball The big news of the week for the Lady Tigers was the win in the opening round of the state tournament over Port Clinton on Saturday. But it certainly wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the only game for the girls. The team picked up two more SBC wins over SMCC Panthers and the Margaretta Polar Bears while falling to the Oak Harbor Rockets and the league leading Perkins Pirates.

The week opened with a 2-0 victory over the Panthers in Sandusky. Kelsey Koehler hit a two run double in the top of the seventh inning for the win. Hayley Corso fanned 15 Panthers and allowed just three hits on her way to her seventh win of the season.

Next up was a home game where the girls ran into a buzz saw of a pitcher from Perkins named Darcy Daniel. The impressive freshman held Huron to just two hits on her way to a 5-0 win. Lauren Volz and Kate Weber had the only base hits for the Tigers. After the game, a frustrated Coach Everman said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need to do a better job at the plate. We are looking at too many called third strikes. We need to start scoring runs or we wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t win in this conference.â&#x20AC;?

The team then traveled to Oak Harbor where they lost a heartbreaker, 2-0. Corso was the hard luck losing pitcher after giving up only four hits and picking up 11 more Ks. The Rocketsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Konieczny hit a two-run homer in the first inning and that was all they needed for the win. The Tiger bats remained silent except for Corsoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two singles and Volzâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s double.

It all came together for the Lady Tigers on Senior Night at Fabens Park. The victims were the Margaretta Polar Bears.

The team honored their three senior captains: Melissa Moberg, Abbey Cook, and Hayley Corso. Huron scored seven runs on eight hits. Sophomore Kelsey Koehler and freshman catcher Morgan Asberry combined to go 4 for 6 with 4 RBIs

Tigers Bite Polar Bears in Seventh for Win The varsity baseball teams surpassed last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s win total with a 7-6 victory over the visiting Margaretta Polar Bears at Fabens Park. The Tigers had to come up with a big four-run rally in the final inning to overcome a three-run deficit. Meanwhile, Huron pitcher Brandon Johnson, pitched seven solid innings for the win.

The Tigers struggled from the plate early on, finally getting their first hits in the fourth inning. In the fifth, down 3-0, Huronâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Nick Butler (3 for 4) drove in two runs, and then Alex Ruf scored on a Polar Bear error to tie the game. Margaretta reclaimed the lead with a run in the sixth and two more scores in the top of the seventh.

Senior Joe Ramey started the game winning rally with a check swing ball that the opposing catcher threw into right field. He would eventually score on a wild pitch.

Nick Butler then singled.

Drew Enderle then sacrificed himself to move Butler and Kyle Pisano into scoring position. Troy Delamatre battled the Polar Bear pitcher and eventually knocked in both runners to tie the game.

He then proceeded to steal second and scored on the game winning hit by Joey Bogden. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This was a great win for our team,â&#x20AC;? said Coach Dustin Kastor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Troy Delamatre had a great last at-bat and Joey Bogden (2 for 3 with a walk) really came through in the seventh â&#x20AC;Ś Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m proud of my players for fighting all the way to the end.â&#x20AC;?
