Santa Claus is Coming to Town

Around Town Page 2­­ ­—————— Gardening & Church Chat

Santa Claus is Comin’ to Town, courtesy of The Huron Parks and Recreation. The Jolly Old Elf will be visiting Huron for a “Christmas with Santa” event from 3 to 8 p.m. this Saturday, Dec. 11, at the Huron Boat Basin.

Come welcome Santa into town when he arrives at 4 p.m. with a special escort. Once again the Boat Basin will be decorated for the season. A craft area will be offered where children can make and take a craft project home with them. The tradition of “Warm Hands from Young Hearts” will continue; the department asks that donations of gloves/mittens to those in need be placed on the tree at the event. Also, make sure to bundle up for a carriage ride around town and get up close and personal with a real reindeer.

In addition to the scheduled activities, organizers will “Light up the Boat Basin” with luminaries as the sun sets. The Parks n Rec Department would like to thank Cornell’s Foods and Hallmark Dry Cleaners for helping to provide this wonderful day for the community.

And for those who can’t come to see Santa Saturday, he will be back in town from 5 to 7 p.m. on Dec. 17 at the Boat Basin (this will be the only activity that day).

The store has been open since July 1st and carries an inventory of gently worn clothes along with a great selection of new handbags. Kelly got the idea of opening the store while taking a shopping trip to New York City where she fell in love with the stores there. Picking Huron was easy as they are residents and enjoy the community.

Around Town Goodwill Earns Customer Service Accolades

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Letter to the Editor, I am writing to publicly tell everyone of the great service that is provided by our Huron Fire Department, in particular the Huron Emergency Squad. I had the opportunity to need their assistance two Fridays ago. From the time my son contacted 911 to their arrival was less than five minutes. That in itself was amazing to me, but then came the professional care and treatment. Both squad members were excellent in their approach to my problem; answered my questions; made me comfortable; and proceeded to make my transfer to Firelands Regional Medical Center an easy one. Do I know their names? No, but if they are an indication of the type of care you can expect then we are all blessed. In today’s world I think we take too many things for granted and this is one of those areas we assume is always there. The Huron Emergency Squad is not just the ambulance they drive, but the people who man it. My hat is off to those people.

High Schoolers Present Feast of Carols The Huron High School Vocal Music Department will present the 75th Annual Feast of Carols at 7:30 p.m., Tuesday, Dec. 14 in the McCormick Junior High Auditorium.

Tickets are $5 and will be available at the door; or they can be purchased in advance during school hours in the Huron High School office.

Garden Club Celebrates the Season The Huron Garden club will celebrate the Holiday Season Friday, Dec. 17 with a noon buffet for members and guests.

The buffet will be served at the Sandusky Yacht Club, 529 E. Water St., Sandusky. Those attending will participate in a flower show. More information will be forthcoming by the calling committee. Coordinator for the event is Relda Neiderhofer; she can be reached at 419-626-2360.

SANDUSKY – Goodwill Industries of Erie, Huron, Ottawa and Sandusky Counties Inc. has earned accreditation for its major employment programs.

The accreditation from CARF International, an independent body that accredits agencies providing vocational rehabilitation services, is effective through November 2013 and demonstrates that Goodwill’s conforms with CARF standards. CARF was formerly known as the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities, but changed its official name to CARF. “We underwent a rigorous, on-site peer review in which a team of CARF surveyors determined that our programs and services are of the highest quality, and that’s what we strive for,” said Robert M. Talcott Jr., Goodwill president and CEO.

Goodwill’s mission is to provide training and employment services for the disabled and disadvantaged. Last year the Sandusky-based organization helped nearly 600 such individuals in its four-county service area.

The CARF approved Goodwill in all five community service categories it applied for: job development, job supports and job-site training. Also accredited were Goodwill’s employment development and organizational employment services.

“We’re also very proud of the fact that this is our 11th straight, three-year accreditation. This is a testament to the professionalism and dedication of our staff, and even the generosity of area residents, whose donations to our retail stores help fund our programs,” Talcott said.

A Glorious Pound Cake for the Holidays A homemade cake makes every holiday memorable. Although we love fancy cakes, the ones that become classics are often unpretentious and uncomplicated for their subtle rich flavor. Pound cakes fit that description perfectly.

Originally made with a pound each of butter, sugar, eggs and flour, pound cakes have evolved into an abundance of delectable variations.

“I think a pound cake is appropriate for almost any occasion,” said the Martha White baking expert, Linda Carman.

“Serve toasted for breakfast, plain for dessert or paired with fruit, ice cream or sauces. Easy to wrap, they make wonderful holiday gifts or dessert to carry to a holiday get-together.”

This glorious Coconut Almond Pound Cake has a vel-

vety texture, rich flavor and crackly top that make pound cakes timeless favorites. The addition of coconut and almond flavoring give it a distinctive holiday flair making it a wonderful choice for holiday entertaining, a special gift or just to have on hand for unexpected guests. Whenever you serve it, this cake is sure to get rave reviews throughout the holiday season.

desire a more acidic soil, and are grown in partial shade to full sun. There are many cultivars, so watch your labeling when purchasing Winterberry.

Some species grow 3 feet tall, while others an amazing 15 feet tall.

Because this shrub is dioecious, you need to purchase one male plant and surround it by females to create the fabulous red ber-

ries. Remember that the berries show after the weather turns cold, and the leaves drop from the plant. The berries hang on usually until the end of January, or later, if not eaten by birds, or the weather conditions allow.

In researching, I have learned that Winterberry is also an emergency food for birds and other small mammals. If you are passionate about crafts, cut your winterberry branches in November, before the birds and other critters decide the treats were grown specifically for them. Put the cuttings in a container with one inch of water. As the water evaporates or is used by the branches, the leaves will fall off leaving you with useful material for your crafting.

Happy Gardening.

Sports Young Tigers Win Season Opener It’s hard to tell what Huron is going to get from such a bacher and Kyle Pisano. young team each game. Some nights they may look great, The game, played in Norwalk, started close and remained other nights ... not so much. But after seeing the young that way throughout. In the first half, neither team had Tigers play on Saturday night, they sure will be exciting and fun to watch. These guys are athletic and seem to have decent court sense. What they lack in size, they make up for with hustle. Plus it doesn’t hurt to have a couple of hard working seniors to show them the ropes in Brian Bollen-

With 2.7 seconds left and Norwalk with the ball, Huron seems to do the unthinkable and fouls Norwalk’s Erik Stanberry. Fortunately, he misses the first free throw, then as he must, purposely misses the second shot. Huron rebounds the ball and is immediately fouled. The Tigers miss both free throws with just :00.5 seconds left. Somehow the clock doesn’t move on the rebound, allowing St.Paul to call timeout, and design one last play. Standing at half court,Adam Smith was able to get off a scary, decent-looking shot that just missed at the buzzer.

“Our kids are young and we came in to a tough place to play ... they’re a good team with a great coach ... ,” an enthusiastic Huron head coach Bobby James blurted out.

“We came into St. Paul and won with three sophomores and a freshman playing a lot!”

Huron’s Trae Graham goes for the steal.

greater than a three-point lead. Junior Sam Hemker was hit with two fouls early in the opening quarter, but his teammates filled in without skipping a beat. Sophomore post Aaron Casey saw a lot of quality playing time on the interior and looked good. Huron played their trademark man-to-man defense most of the game. The Tigers went into halftime with a 25-24 edge.

Huron opened the second half strong. Bollenbacher hit a three-pointer, then he and sophomore Aaron Driftmeyer both hit baskets following offensive rebounds to take a five-point lead, 32-27 with 4:10 left in the third quarter.

But, St. Paul calmly battled back to tie the game at 32 with a three pointer of their own with just more than three minutes left. Then the game went back and forth all the way to the wire.

With three minutes left in the final period, Norwalk committed two straight turnovers, both of which led to Tiger scores. The first was by Graham, while the next came on free throws by Bollenbacher, which gave Huron a 45-42 lead forcing a St. Paul timeout. After a free throw by the home team, the Tiger’s Casey completed a beautifully executed press breaker with a lay-in at the 1:35 mark, giving his team a 47-43 lead. Then St. Paul missed a big opportunity when it couldn’t convert either of two free throws with just 56 seconds left. Still, with just 20 seconds left, the home team didn’t panic and patiently executed their offense. They were rewarded with a wide open three pointer to make it, 47-46. Again, St. Paul presses, and again, Huron busts it forcing the defense to foul Kyle Pisano with just 15 seconds to play. He hits one of two for a two point lead, 48-46.

Huron Freshman Cody Thompson drives against the Norwalk defense.

When asked what his team needed to work on, James quickly said: “Everything – our man defense, our offense ... I wish we had another month before the season started.”

Flyers Defeat Lady Tigers in Home Opener, 65-31 Huron Tigers opened up their home schedule against arguably the finest team in SBC girls basketball on Saturday in the Clyde Flyers. Generally thought of as an aggressive, pressing team, the Lady Flyers lived up to all of the expectations as their tough defense proved too much for the Tigers. Led by Head Coach Ty Ray, Huron started all five of their seniors: Gina Munafo, Alexis Lemar, Devon Koenig, Justine Butler and Lauren Volz.

Both teams opened up the action in zone presses. Clyde scored first, which was quickly followed by two made free throws by Devon Koenig. Unfortunately, the Flyers then rolled off 17 unanswered points on their way to a 24-9 lead at the end of the first period. Huron’s press was largely ineffective as Clyde appeared very disciplined in its press break offense.

Eventually, Clyde called off their press, but that didn’t mean they slacked off defensively. The Flyers remained very effective at shutting down the Tiger interior passing lanes. The visitors were able to steadily increase their lead through the entire game. It was 37-16 at the half, which then became 48-20 at the end of the third period.

Lauren Volz was Huron’s most effective player. She finished with 12 points and six rebounds. Kelsey Koehler, a junior, contributed seven rebounds to go with six points.

Clyde was led by an outstanding freshman named Amanda Cahill, who led all scorers with 17 points and gave the Tigers’ fits with her defensive effort.

Health & Wellness Skin Graft Technique Saves Limbs Most people can relate to the pain and discomfort of a broken leg or burn. But, imagine living with that wound or chronic pain on a daily basis if it didn’t heal. “Almost six million Americans suffer from chronic, non-healing wounds. Many are associated with complications from diabetes, vascular disorders, or poor nutrition,� said Dr. Marc Dolce, a board certified podiat- DOLCE ric surgeon and member of Fisher-Titus Medical Center’s Wound Healing Institute. “Chronic wounds not only cause pain and discomfort, they are often signs of larger and more complicated problems.�

For the past 10 years, Dolce has been providing his limb salvage expertise at FisherTitus Medical Center. “We have saved a lot of limbs through this approach,� he said.

Since the opening of the FTMC Wound Healing Institute in 2009, even more options and treatments to treat patients with non-healing wounds have become available.

Dolce recently began performing “partial thickness� skin grafts at Fisher-Titus. Skin grafting is a surgical procedure in which skin or a skin substitute is placed over a burn or non-healing wound. Non-healing wounds, such as diabetic ulcers, venous ulcers or pressure sores, can be treated with skin grafts to prevent infection and further progression of the wounded area.

“A partial thickness skin graft contains a variable thickness of skin harvested from a site area on the patient, such as a thigh or buttock and transplanted it to the wound area,� Dolce said. “We have seen a high success rate in this procedure and have saved limbs that normally would have been amputated.�

Dolce completed his residency in foot and ankle surgery at University Hospitals in Cleveland. He received special training in residency on plastic surgery and also has advanced training on wound healing treatments. Dolce graduated from The Ohio College of Podiatric Medicine in Cleveland in 1999 with a doctor of podiatric medicine; and from Bowling Green State University in 1992 with a bachelor of science degree. He has served as chairman of the department of podiatric surgery at the Ohio College of Podiatric Medicine and is currently a Fellow with the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons.

Another recent addition to the FTMC’s wound therapies is The Qoustic Wound Therapy SystemŽ, which optimizes healing and minimizes patient discomfort by using a low-frequency portable ultrasound.

It lightly contacts the wound, gently separating and removing unwanted tissue while preserving For more informahealthy tissue. It also tion on FTMC’s is used to prepare Wound Healing the wound for other Institute, call therapies, such as 419-660-6980 grafts and flaps.

administrator of the Early Intervention program at the Erie County Board of Developmental disabilities, which oversees Erie County Help Me Grow. “The commitment level of our Help Me Grow team assists many Erie County children and families. Their lives are significantly impacted in such a positive way by the program.� “The earlier Help Me Grow can get involved with a child, the more likely it will have a positive impact on their life,� said Lisa Guliano, superintendent of the Erie County Board of Developmental Disabilities. “Studies have shown that the earlier the intervention, the more positive the result.

This rating by the state signifies that Erie County Help Me Grow is a strong, viable operation that has the best interests of our children and families at heart.�
