A hospital is a very scary place for a kid.

When Cindy Kerr’s son, Ryan, was diagnosed with cancer in 2002, she wanted to brighten up his hospital room, so she began making pillowcases. She soon realized the difference these brightly colored pillowcases were making in Ryan’s attitude and recovery, so she began making pillowcases for the other children staying in the Oncology Unit at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. Cindy’s pillowcase making idea took off and before she knew it, she had created the national non-profit organization ConKerr Cancer.

A chapter of ConKerr Cancer serving Toledo and Mercy Children’s hospitals has been started by Catawba Island resident Linda Peiffer.

After reading about ConKerr Cancer in Family Circle magazine, Peiffer felt compelled to start making pillowcases for children with serious illnesses as well. Since then Peiffer has become the regional coordinator for Toledo/Northwest Ohio.

ConKerr Cancer’s mission is “helping children feel special while battling life changing illnesses”. Volunteers sew pillowcases for the children and bring them to designated drop off points where ConKerr volunteers pick them up and deliver them to the hospital’s pediatric wards.

So far, 150 pillowcases have been delivered to the two Toledo hospitals. The need is great between the two hospitals as they can easily use 125 cases per month.

The pillowcases delivered so far have been made by just a handful of volunteers. Peiffer said a network of volunteers is desperately needed to sew the pillowcases, which is a very simple project requiring only basic sewing skills. The Chapter has set up numerous locations throughout Northwest Ohio to drop off the pillowcases making it convenient for the sewers. Corso’s in Sandusky and Fairyland Fabrics & Gifts in Vermillion are area drop off points. For a complete list of drop off locations go to www.conkerrcancer.org and click on “Chapters”.

If you sew and would like to help these hospitalized children, call Peiffer at 419-491-4722 or e-mail to kidspillowcases@gmail.com.

Pictured is recent recipient of a pillowcase from ConKerr Cancer NW Ohio Chapter, Alec McKenzie of Oregon.

Pillowcase Construction:

Use cheery fabrics for kids – colorful and fun as possible. Remember many patients are adolescent boys and girls, we always need pillowcases appropriate to teenagers.

Cotton or flannel only and no glittery fabrics

Supplies:

3/4 yard of fabric for pillowcase 1/3 yard of fabric for border of pillowcase

Sewing Instructions:

Cut the body of the case 26 1/2” x 40 1/2” and the border 10 1/2” x 40 1/2”.

Fold the border in half lengthwise, with the wrong sides together, and press.

Place the right side of the border on the right side of the body of the case. Stitch together using a 1/2” seam allowance.

Place right sides of the pillowcase together. Stitch down the side and across the bottom.

Turn to the right side and press.

Please finish seams so the pillowcases will not fray.

NOTE: Make sure to wash the fabric for the protection of the children. In addition place each pillowcase in a one-gallon ziplock bag. Pillowcases must be dropped off at a designated drop off site or mailed to 1314 N.Orchard Beach Drive, Port Cliinton, OH 43452, Do not deliver directly to the hospitals.

Around Town Cheryl’s Cookies Founder to Present at BGSU Firelands Area native and founder of Cheryl’s Cookies Cheryl Krueger will be presenting to students and the community on Tuesday, April 3 at Bowling Green State University Firelands College.

The Ohio Women’s Hall of Fame member and current business consultant will discuss her trials and tribulations as a fledgling business owner during her presentation “An Entrepreneur’s Road to Success.”

Krueger was born and raised in Bellevue, Ohio, attended BGSU Firelands, and eventually graduated from Bowling Green State University in 1974 with a bachelor’s in liberal arts.

She also holds an honorary doctor of humanities from Capital University, Columbus, Ohio.

Krueger experienced great success in the retail merchandising industry, at one time being responsible for more than $100 million in sales. Her greatest notoriety, however, came as the founder, president, and chief executive officer of Cheryl’s Cookies.

In 1981, Krueger and her college roommate opened the very first Cheryl’s Cookies in Columbus. The modest storefront sold six kinds of cookies, along with beverages. As the company grew, new desserts were added - gourmet brownies, cakes, and fancy cookies, including seasonal cutout cookies topped with a signature buttercream frosting.

Eventually renamed Cheryl & Co., the company became a multi-faceted operation comprised of retail stores in Ohio, a high-traffic Internet business, and a successful Business Gift Division, all headquartered in the Columbus.

By the time Krueger sold the business in 2005, the operation had grown into a $34 million corporation, and continues to flourish using her original business models. Conceived by Krueger as a product company that made the customer the number one priority, the business developed a reputation for product quality and innovation, financial discipline, and a

keen understanding of risks.

Krueger is now the chief executive officer of Krueger+Co. Consulting, Inc., and specializes in helping other businesses develop creative marketing strategies, identify opportunities for product development, and improve their financial performance.

Krueger will be spending the day at BGSU Firelands meeting with various student groups and the clients of RISE, a partnership between BGSU Firelands and the Erie County Economic Development Corporation which provides free counseling and assistance to new and existing businesses.

The public presentation is free and open to all students and community members and will be held on Tuesday, April 3, at 12 noon in the Cedar Point Center at BGSU Firelands.

This event is sponsored by BGSU Firelands, Erie County Economic Development Corporation, and RISE. For additional information, contact Dean Schnurr at 419.372.0613.

Tax Info From the Desk Dee Hartley, Enrolled Agent and Master Tax Advisor at Huron’s H & R Block office: Medical expenses can help reduce your Ohio tax even if you are not able to take advantage of them on your federal return. I always recomend that you track medical expenses starting early in the year. You never know what will happen later. To help you with this we have a Medical Expense Record Keeper that is free. Just stop in to the office an pick one up. It reminds you to record the mileage along with those copays.

Taxpayers can usually claim a deduction for medical and dental expenses if their total medical expenses are more than 7.5% (10% starting in 2013) of their adjusted gross income (AGI.) of

expenses, but they’re an adjustment to income. So, taxpayers can deduct 100% of their qualifying HSA contributions even if they don’t itemize deductions.

Whose Medical Expenses Can Be Included?

Taxpayers can deduct medical expenses for anyone who qualifies as their spouse or dependent at the time the service was provided or at the time the bill was paid.

When Do Payments Have To Be Made To Be Deductible?

Taxpayers can include only the medical and dental expenses they paid in the current tax year, regardless of when the services were provided.

If you want more information IRS publication 502 has a more extensive list of deductible and non-deductible expenses or take your questions to your tax professional.

Firelands Regional Medical Center and NOMS to Consider Service Line Acquisition

Suzan Harjo The White Man’s “Indian” in Movies, Sports, & Popular Culture

What Can Be Deducted?

To be deductible, medical care expenses must be mainly to alleviate or prevent a physical or mental defect or illness. (Vitamins and the like don’t count.) Taxpayers can deduct the cost of medical care from qualified practitioners, as well as: Transportation costs to and from medical care. (at the rate of 19 cents per mile until July 1st when it went up to 23.5 cents per mile) Prescription medicines Amounts paid for qualified longterm care services Limited amounts paid for any qualified long-term care insurance contracts Medical insurance premiums (but pre-tax salary contributions made to an employer-sponsored health insurance plan are not deductible.)

Medicare amounts not covered by Social Security Contributions made to a health savings account (HSA) aren’t medical

Recently, the Board of Directors of Firelands Regional Medical Center voted to sign a Term Sheet to pursue an acquisition for multiple service lines of Northern Ohio Medical Specialists (NOMS). The Service Lines to be explored include NOMS Women’s Imaging Center, NOMS Urgent Care & Occupational Health Center, and NOMS Imaging Center. The actual terms and conditions upon which Firelands Regional Medical Center or NOMS may participate are subject to the satisfactory completion of due diligence as determined by Firelands and NOMS. It is anticipated that the due diligence period may take up to 90 days.

William Springer, Chairman of the Firelands Regional Medical Center Board of Directors, shares some thoughts on this possible new endeavor, “The Firelands Board sees this proposed agreement as a win-win-win for Firelands, for NOMS, and for the community at large. This arrangement would put the strengths of both organizations together to better meet the

community’s needs and to more effectively provide these services to the region currently served by both entities. As two very strong healthcare providers in this community, it makes sense to explore ways in which we can enhance services, reduce costs, and provide added convenience to the community.”

Louis Ralofsky, MD, CEO of NOMS adds, “We are excited over the opportunity to work together. With the recent changes in healthcare, NOMS is being proactive by exploring synergistic opportunities to partner with other strong healthcare providers to continue to provide the needed services in the communities we serve. Our 2500 W. Strub Road site’s outpatient services, which include Imaging, Women’s Imaging, Urgent Care and Occupational Health, are considered for acquisition under this agreement. NOMS will continue its multispecialty physician practices throughout the region,” shares Ralofsky.

Rev. Roger’s Reflections Maybe you saw the newspaper cartoon a few weeks back that showed a snow man and snow woman standing at the bus stop. The sign behind them read “WINTER”. The snow man looks at his watch and asks his partner, “Do you think it will ever come?”

It never did come this year, did it? Robins are already singing, crocuses have pushed up through the warm moist soil, and Easter is early on the calendar.

School teachers and parents will tell you how “antsy” the children are, eager to get outside.

“In Spring, a young man’s (and woman’s) fancy turns to LOVE” the old adage says, and I already have eight weddings on my calendar for 2012. When I sit down with the couples I ask, “How do you feel about yourself when you are in the other’s presence?” They talk about marrying their best friend, already feeling “one in the spirit” of God’s love, trust and vulnerability, as the tears freely fall.

That’s true for any close relationship, isn’t it? We should not feel criticized, condemned, or put down by someone, and we should not do that to anyone else. Instead, we should build up one another with mercy, understanding, compassion, and grace.

Grace opens the door to growth. Grace blossoms from our most intimate relationship with God. “Indeed, God did not send the Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.” (John 3:17) It’s grace that motivates us to want to please God and one another. But we find precious little of it in our public “un-civil” discourse and private conversation, do we?

In the Sandusky Register a few weeks ago, Kathy Lilje wrote, “You don’t have to agree with someone to care about them. It seems the world has become a place where a person is either right or an idiot. It’s all black and white. No shades of gray allowed. Demon or angel. Super Hero or Villain.

“Be kind to each other this election season. Don’t let political arguments make you feel angry at someone you care about. Try to remember that whoever is elected won’t be perfect. Nor will that person be evil.

Just a frail human being like the rest of us – trying to do the best he or she can.”

I wrote Kathy to thank her for her column, and here is her response: “Dear Rev. Skelley-Watts, Thank you so much for your kind words. I just can’t keep from reminding people that we are all in this together. As you have made unity your life work, I’m sure you must feel heartache when you see division.

With the concerns that people face today, it certainly seems that manufacturing yet more things to divide us is counterproductive. Again, thank you, Kathy.”

St. Paul wrote to the divided community at Ephesus, “… we were by nature children of wrath like everyone else. But God, who is rich in mercy, out of the great love with which he loved us…made us alive together in Christ – by grace you have been saved.” (Ephesians 2:3b-5). God did not sacrifice his Son, and call us to follow him, so that we would be just like everyone else.

So among the things that we give up this Lenten season, along with the chocolate deserts, let’s give up listening to vile, hateful personal attacks upon other human beings that poison the groundwater in the well of our souls.

As long as the person is proposing a positive, constructive policy, program, or idea – fine, we’ll listen.

But keep that TV remote control handy, and as soon as the tone turns to vitriolic condemnation of another human being – TURN IT OFF! Give it up for Lent.

Whether the negative message comes from a candidate, an ad, or a commentator – turn it off. GIVE IT UP for Lent. Lower your blood pressure and flush that poison out of your soul. You might find it so refreshing that you’ll continue past the daybreak of Easter morn.

Grab your spiritual watering can on a regular basis.

Keep the water pure and clean. The flowers of your soul will grow and blossom all spring and summer long - for us, our families, friends and neighbors to enjoy. The stresses of life will not kill off the flowers of your soul, nor the summer heat. Streams of living water will flow from within us, when we turn to Christ regularly for a cool drink of the water of life.

“For we are what he has made us, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand to be our way of life.” (v.10) A blessed Lenten season of transformation to you, and a glorious early Easter joy.

Let’s Get Growing Mary Strayer Master Gardener Gardening Questions Answered: Kay from Norwalk stopped by to ask: “How can I prune an older apple tree, that hasn’t been cared for in years?” First of all, trip or prune off all suckers, or any growth below the 1st main set of branches. Now look for branches that are crossing each other. Remove these if possible. You can shorten the longer branches by a foot or so now, or you can wait until the tree bears its fruit this year, then prune after harvest.

This procedure should give you a crop this year. The next thing I would suggest is to go online and look up Ohio State University Extension Fact Sheets, and follow it closely as to the spraying the tree for insects and diseases. There are certain time periods, which blossoms and fruit must be sprayed to get the best fruit, and therefore it is important to follow these guidelines.

Steven from Sandusky emailed as stated: “I have a 10 year old wisteria that does not bloom. It is planted on the north side of the house, but it does receive several hours of sunshine every day. What can I do to get it to bloom?” First of all, if it’s on the north side of your house, your wisteria is not getting enough sunlight. The vines need at least 6-8 hours of sunlight a day, and typically won’t bloom if they are getting less than that. Second, although wisteria vines will live in our region, the flower buds may not survive over our harsh winters. The wisteria will be damaged by first the cold and then the heat, i.e. our winter this year!

Also the north side of the home is usually the coldest side of the home, as they are subject to worse cold than the south side of your home. Since your vine is 10 years old, it would be almost impossible to move, so perhaps you can just enjoy the foliage. My personal experience with wisteria taught me that if the vine is just budding now, but if we have another freeze, we would have few blossoms. The vine is lovely draped over an arbor with a seating area beneath,

so it will be enjoyed regardless of bloom.

Amy from Wakeman emailed and stated, “I love to share my geraniums with friends, so each summer, I take cuttings, dip them in root hormone and plant them in soil, and place them in a cool shaded room. Most die shortly thereafter. What am I doing wrong?” Cuttings are a great way to multiply your favorite geraniums. Cutting root best when placed in a brightly lit warm location. Increase the temperature by placing the containers of cuttings on a heating mat designed for starting seeds. Cuttings also prefer high humidity. Create a humid environment by covering the planted cutting with a plastic-bottle cloche or a zippered plastic bag.

Check them every few days for new root growth. Remove the cloche when the roots form. Happy Gardening.

Andrea from Sandusky emailed to ask; “I am stirring up my mulch in my perennial bed and found slugs everywhere. Now I know who has eaten my mums, asters, and some of my newest perennials. I don’t want this to happen this year. What can I do? Mulching is good, but it does provide a great cool, shady place for slugs to live.

Controlling the slugs will require persistence and time but should not be difficult.

They can be lured with bait, such as beer and then discarded. Sink a shallow dish of been so that the lip is close to the soil line, and the slugs will crawl in and drown.

Keep emptying and refilling the dish every day or two to eliminate the adult slugs and then again to capture the new slugs as they hatch. There are also commercial traps available if desired. Happy gardening.

Huron City Schools Staff Attends EdCamp Columbus Several staff members of the Huron City Schools attended “EdCamp Columbus” on March 3rd, 2012 at Upper Arlington High School near Columbus, Ohio. Mr. TJ Houston, Director of Technology, Mrs. Beth Kluding, 2nd grade teacher, Mrs. Marge Carter, Speech & Language, Mrs. Leah LaCrosse, 5th grade Science, and Mrs. Diane Berryhill, 6th grade English participated in the event. EdCamp Columbus was not the typical education conference, explained TJ Houston, Director of Technology. The event was more or less educators and people passionate about teaching and learning gathering to converse on topics related to education.

EdCamp Columbus was designed to be a participantdriven professional development for teachers. It was a non-commercial, vendor-free event comprised of sessions determined on the day of the event. All of the participants, teachers, students, parents and administrators were encouraged to be presenters to help develop a round general knowledge of the topics being discussed.

Having an informal presentation, followed by group discussion on topics that applied to everyone made for a comfortable situation to participate in, explained Mrs. Marge Carter. Topics included everything from: designing the perfect classroom to using I-pads in the classroom, Google Docs., Twitter and digital books. “It was excellent

all around; I left feeling very energized.”

For 2nd grade teacher, Mrs. Beth Kluding, EdCamp Columbus was a wonderful experience. She returned to Huron with extra “Tweet” knowledge and learned about some new apps she will be able to use in her classroom. In addition to that, she learned Mrs. LaCrosse is very good at using technology in the classroom.

“EdCamp Columbus was very open and had an exciting format where teachers from all backgrounds and experiences could share and learn from one another,” stated Mrs. Leah LaCrosse. It was great to see how other educators are using twitter in the classroom. As a presenter at EdCamp Columbus, Mrs. LaCrosse was able to share information about how she uses I-pad technology in her classroom.

She demonstrated how to integrate this tool to help students show what they know by completing projects and responding through edmodo, twitter, skype, and google apps.

“We have a classroom account for our 5th grade science class (@lacrossescience) that is utilized for sharing our learning with other science classrooms,” she explained.

The science classes use twitter during a science lab to share with three other classrooms around the United States. The students were able to pass on what they were discovering with magnetic energy through twitter posts to send real

time data.

“Being able to share and have dialogue on current educational trends in education regarding technology and how best to implement this technology while helping to support the students to becoming the best “digital” citizen they can” was the most valuable aspect of the program for Mrs. LaCrosse.

What’s next? A participant-driven professional development for the North Coast area is being planned for the near future. The program will be held in Huron and include schools districts from Toledo to Cleveland, stated Mr. Houston.

Firelands Montessori Firelands Montessori Academy students from ages 2-13 came together to honor their Montessori education in a number of ways this year including working with younger students within the classroom, wearing FMA logo gear and school colors and collecting donations for local charities.

The week culminated in a celebration of peace on the playground facing the school Peace Pole, which was dedicated in May

2011. Wishes for peace were shared, peace roses were distributed and “peace bubbles” were blown.

The Toddler Program collected diapers and other baby/toddler items to benefit Safe Harbor in Sandusky. The Preschool Program collected $390 in pocket change to benefit The Piggyback Foundation of Norwalk, the Lower Elementary Class collected non-perishable food to benefit the Huron Food Bank and the Upper Elementary class collected toiletry items to be donated to Crossroads Homeless Shelter in Sandusky.

ventor and entrepreneur, to inspire young peoples interest and participation in science and technology. FIRST programs encourage innovation and help students build practical skills.

While the Mavericks and their alliance were knocked out in the first round of finals, they are still very pleased to have been chosen for the Industrial Design Award, sponsored by General Motors. According to www.usfirst.org this award celebrates form and function in an efficiently designed machine that effectively addresses the game challenge.

“I have been very impressed with the dedication of our students, teachers, and mentors,” said Assistant Director Matt Ehrhardt. “FIRST is a program that is changing perceptions about engineering and technology throughout the United States, and I know it is inspiring our young men and women here at EHOVE.” Team sponsor Sierra Lobo, Inc. agrees.

FIRST Robotics Team 2252, The Mavericks, competed against 44 other teams at the Pittsburgh Regional event on March 8-10 with their basketball-playing robot in a game called Rebound Rumble. The team, which is hosted by EHOVE Career Center came away with their best finish ever in qualification matches and with another team award.

“This weekend was a great validation for our students,” said Engineering Tech Instructor Jim McIntyre. “All of their hard work paid off with a very competitive robot.”

That competitive robot earned them a third place finish in qualification rounds and the opportunity to choose their alliance for the finals, because all FIRST teams compete in groups of three. Not only does FIRST promote educational excellence through friendly competition, they also promote cooperation through teamwork.

Local business owner and EHOVE alumna Kirsten Shafer wanted more customers coming to her Monroeville salon, Snippers Salon & Spa, for facials. EHOVE Cosmetology students are on the case. As part of a SkillsUSA project, the Cosmetology students have put together a plan to promote Snippers’ facial services, such as shirts, buttons, coupon cards, posters and balloons. They will also present their efforts in an upcoming SkillsUSA competition.

SkillsUSA is a partnership of students, teachers and industry working together to ensure America has a skilled workforce. The Ohio chapter provides its 31,500+ career-technical education members, which includes many EHOVE students, the opportunity to participate in local, regional, state and national competitive events, and encourages students to give back to the community through various community service activities.

“The students are learning the industry they’ll be entering with this,” said EHOVE Cosmetology instructor Lynn Keefer. “With input from the owner, they’ll learn a key part of the business . . . how to promote it. The goal is an increase in productivity. It’s a huge eye-opener for students.”
