Cornhole: What’s Cornhole? There has been a lot of talk around town lately about Huron Rotary’s Cornhole Tournament. The Huron Rotary Club is proud to be hosting the 1st annual cornhole tournament on Saturday, August 7, 2009 at 10 AM at the Boat Basin during the Rotary festival. So, what is cornhole? Cornhole has been called many things, corn toss, bean bag, bean toss, soft horseshoes, but to many of us the game is passionately called cornhole. It has been said that the game originated in Germany in the 14th century and was rediscovered in the hills of Kentucky over 100 years ago. The truth is, no one really knows, but the game is great fun for all ages and can be played anywhere.

Cornhole is similar to horseshoes except you use wooden boxes called cornhole platforms and corn bags instead of horseshoes and metal stakes. Contestants take turns pitching their corn bags at the cornhole platform until a team reaches the score of 21 points. Each team is made up of two players. A corn bag in the hole scores 3 points, while one on the platform scores 1 point. Scoring can be swift and many lead changes may occur during a match before a winner is decided. Every cornhole match is broken down into innings of play, similar to baseball. During each inning there is a top and bottom round of play. The top of an inning is completed when both contestants pitching from the first cornhole platform pitch all four

corn bags. The bottom of the inning is completed when the remaining contestants, pitching from the other cornhole platform, pitch all four corn bags. The game is generally played tournament style with a team being named champion at the end of the tournament. Huron Rotary’s cornhole tournament will be a doubles tournament. The entry fee will be a $20 donation for the two person team. Prizes will be distributed to the top finishing teams. No past experience with cornhole? “Beginner’s luck” can often be a factor, so don’t let inexperience deter you from play. For more information, entry forms, and rules please visit Huron Rotary’s website at huronrotary.org. Make sure to sign up now before all spots are reserved.

Around Town Norwalk Autumn Leaves Festival Plans ‘Falling’ Into Place Norwalk’s Main Street Program is working hard to pull together the Norwalk Autumn Leaves Festival. The festival will take place on Saturday, September 19, 2009 and feature arts and crafts vendors, antiques and collectibles, a kid’s activity area, and food as well as entertainment throughout the day and into the evening. The event will be kicked off at 11am with the annual Pet N Pup Parade organized by Joe Lindenberger, Recreation Director of the Norwalk Parks and Recreation Department. The decision was made to join the two activities at a recent meeting of the Main Street Norwalk Promotions Committee. “We were very excited to speak with Joe and have the opportunity to combine these two activities- one an annual tradition for many area families and one a new festival which we hope to make an annual event.” comments Kristie Wert, Main Street Norwalk Program Manager. “It will help both organizations to combine the individual events. It is partnerships like these that help make events successful.” The Pet N Pup Parade features area children and their pets of all kinds dressed in themes. A Queen and King are chosen at the end of the parade, which in 2009 will move through the Autumn Leaves Festival. Currently, the committee is looking for artists and crafters that are interested in participating. The committee hopes to find vendors that can offer hands on activities like candle dipping, pottery painting, and wood carving, or those that can do demonstrations throughout the day. Vendor spaces are available for $40.00 per vendor. Those offering hands on activities may charge for the activity or offer those for free. A kid’s area will feature games, a possible haunted park, inflatable fun houses, pony rides and a petting farm. The committee is also looking for groups that would like to participate by organizing and running a game in the kid’s area. “This area is a great opportunity for area non profit organizations, sports teams, youth groups, boosters, and parent organizations to get involved in this exciting new Norwalk event and make some money for their program at the same time,” says Wert, “ Christine Nawalaniec, is coordinating the kid’s activities and has brought a lot of creative and energetic ideas to add to the event.” “Our mission is to have an event that is family oriented, one that brings out the child in all of us. To remember those warm nights with our families eating too much and never laughing enough! So, mark the date, bring your lawn chair, and your kids’ wagon for a day of fun and good evening entertainment. Come join us and socialize with your neighbors!” says Lynn BoldenMoser, Promotions Committee member,

Huron Bicentennial

Birthday Bash Sunday Aug. 9 The Huron Bicentennial Committee is planning a wonderful birthday celebration to begin the Bicentennial Week. The celebration will begin at 1:00 on the stage at the Huron Boat Basin. After you have enjoyed the Community Brunch under the tent at the Boat Basin, take a seat in the amphitheatre at 1:00 p.m., as Huron’s Mayor Marilyn Shearer makes the official birthday proclamation. Since this is such a special year, we hope that the entire community takes the time to come down, because immediately after the mayor’s proclamation, a community photo will be taken. Do you think all 7000+ of us will fit in the picture? It will be a day to remember, and something we’ll be talking about 100 years from now! After the photo there will be music to entertain you and a couple of presentations from Huron’s own

Entries submitted for the Huron Bicentennial Photo Contest were judged at the Huron Chamber of Commerce on Wednesday, July 8.

Sponsored by Ohio Physicians Services and the Village Gallery and Framer, the contest was judged by Jason Werling, chief photographer for the Sandusky Register, and by Abby Bobrow, who produced the Huron Urban Renewal documentary. The first place photo captures sunset at the Huron pier and was taken by Bob Beiter. He will receive

Fisher-Titus Foundation outing brings in $36,700 More than $36,700 was raised for Fisher-Titus Medical Center’s Pediatric Therapy Program during the 2009 Fisher-Titus Foundation Golf Tournament. 128 Golfers on 32 teams participated in this year’s golf outing at Eagle Creek Golf Course in Norwalk, and in turn, helped donate money. “Since the early 1980s, Fisher-Titus Medical Center has provided outpatient pediatric therapies including physical, occupational, speech/language and audiology,” said Joyce Hill, director of FTMC’s rehabilitation. “The money from the 2009 Fisher-Titus Foundation Golf outing will help to provide scholarships to area children to insure they can attend these worthwhile programs.” In 2006, as part of the FTMC Rehabilitation Center’s expansion, a unique area, “The Kids’ Place for

FTMC’s specialized therapy team offers individual and group therapy for children of all ages and diagnoses. Licensed therapists supply kids with an environment conducive to learning while giving them an opportunity to play. About 200 children visit the pediatric therapy department weekly and around 50 of these children receive more than one therapy — physical, occupational and speech. The title sponsor for this year’s golf outing was Cerner Corp. with Asset Consulting Group sponsoring the dinner and Time Warner Cable Business Class sponsoring the lunch. The other major sponsor for the event was MedHelp which sponsored the event’s tee prizes.

The top teams included first place team Legacy Commercial Flooring Group consisting of Chuck Rajner, Mike Rajner, Steve Kalinoski and Jeff Schenkel. Second place went to the Kaiser-Wells group of John Kaiser, Dick Wollenberg, Al Koontz and Don Weltin, with third place honors going to the Norwalk Investment Properties team of Lorraine Bleile, Tom Bleile, Bob Bleile and Mary Bleile.

Some positive news about home sales by john schaffner

Turn on the news, and you don’t hear much positive coming from the TV or radio. The big newspapers are just chock full of economic doom and gloom. Finally … some good news! U.S. Home Sales rose by 11 percent in June, one of the fastest increases in more than 8 years. In our area, home sales actually rose in June, albeit very slightly. However even a leveling off could be a positive indicator or future activity in the local housing market. The markets along the lakeshore counties that comprise the Firelands Area Board of Realtors, have been struggling since the fall of 2006 — nearly three years. The first half of 2009 was the worst of it, actual units sold fell by more than 12 percent and the total dollar volume of home sales in the Firelands Area dropped by more than 30 percent. During the same time period, the average home price fell by almost $26,000, a drop of 20.6 percent. However, things were much rosier in the month of June. Following six or seven months of continuing decline, the number of units sold in the Firelands area remained exactly

the same as 2008, as did the total dollar volume of home sales and the average price. “The good news is the movement is up,” says Firelands Board of Realtors President Len Partin of Jack Bradley Realty. “However, once housing sales start increasing, the better buyer opportunities will start declining. Smart buyers

realize that so they are buying now.” Buyers appear to be taking advantage of high value prices of homes close to the lake. Buyers are also taking advantage of low interest rates and the tax credit being offered to first-time homebuyers. Several other local realtors have confirmed the up-tick in activity. “It is my understanding that across the country, new listings priced to the current market are selling fast,” said Tomi Johnson of Howard Hanna. “Last week, I had three offers in the first 10 days on a new listing so perhaps this is confirmation. Our market historically is a bit slower than the primary market in larger metropolitan areas, but once they take off, our area follows and continues to stay active longer.” Phillip Bolte, broker/manager of Bolte Real Estate stated, “As one of the younger members of our industry, this is my first go-around with a serious recession. If anything, it makes you thankful of the things you have and even more, appreciate the good times as they come around again.” Cindy Bolte of Bolte Real Estate added, “Anyone not buying now is missing the boat!”

Don’t Ignor Random Selections

In 1998 the Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) began its random selection program. By random computer selection, individuals are sent a notice requiring them to show proof of insurance for the currently registered vehicle and date of such insurance. Ohio Revised Code BY JUDGE BILL STEUK, Section 4509.10(A) authorizHURON MUNICIPAL COURT es the BMV to perform these random selections. Failure to show proof of insurance as required will result in a driver license suspension for a ninety (90) day period for a first offense, one year for a second offense, and two years for a third and subsequent offense if the offenses were committed within a five (5) year period of time. Any suspension other than the random selection suspensions could be counted as a prior offense, which would enhance the random selection suspension. In addition to a license suspension, the registration and license plates of the motor vehicle may be impounded. The offender’s driver license may also be surrendered. Certainly, when anyone receives a random selection notice, it is important to comply promptly with the notice

Nemecek Insurance & Financial Services DAWN BAUMAN, LICENSED OFFICE MANAGER 2012 Cleveland Rd W Suite D Huron, OH 44839 419-433-5887

requirements. In order to regain driving and registration privileges, any individual under suspension must comply with the following requirements: 1. Serve out the suspension time, as discussed above; 2. File and maintain financial responsibility insurance (Form SR 22 or bond) for three (3) years on the first offense, five (5) years on the second and subsequence offense; 3. Pay the appropriate reinstatement fee. Not responding to these notices can cause great hardship as well as a financial strain, as we have discussed. If you would like more information about the random selection program, please visit the BMV’s website at www.bmv.ohio. gov. Articles appearing in this column are intended to provide broad, general information about the law.

Car Show Prayer “Cruze-In” to benefit Huron Community Labyrinth and Prayer Path, Saturday, July 18, 2009, 11:00 AM Dear Lord: We come to you as flawed vehicles trying to carry your love out into the world. But we are dented, scratched, rusted, and old. Our transmission is shot, so we find it difficult to shift gears as conditions change. We run off the road sometimes because we insist upon driving ourselves instead of giving you the wheel. We get out of balance – alignment skewed when our worldly self gets humped up higher than our spiritual self. Any hole in the road or speed bump that we hit seems to knock us off course, lacking the Godly resources to put us back on track. We confess that by neglecting our spiritual maintenance routine, we let daily friction with other people and situations rub us the wrong way. So we run out of oil or coolant, blow a plug or pop a cap all over ourselves and others. Make noise like a rattle-trap. Often we’re sidelined by a simple broken timing chain, blown tire, split hose, or snapped belt prevention could have made life so much easier. Birds land and mess all over us, insects splatter across our windshield which blots out our view of the road ahead, throwing us out of sorts. The good news is that we can be spiritually washed bright as new. We can be restored, by your good graces. Not just with a paint job that hides the surface damage, but we want you to restore us from the inside out. We need shiny new parts freshly milled, clean fluids and filters. Give us a brand new outlook that makes us feel like facing the future unafraid. With dents pounded out, past damage of ugly scars forgiven, rust healed down to the bare metal. All the interlocking parts meshing and working together in perfect harmony – hummmmmmming along down the road toward worship, study, service, and witness in response to your gracious restorative love.

For the beautiful ways in which this Huron community of Christ works together to show the world how easy it should be to love one another, we praise your Holy name. For the awesome gift of walking your path of prayer, and the privilege of meditation to your glory in your natural world, we thank you. For the promise of complete restoration and detailing by the Master mechanic’s hand, we rest all of our anxiety and worry in your precious care. Work with us, we pray. Restore us fully – leave no oil drip unsealed. We know that we are still up on the rack, in the shop, and that you’re not quite done with us yet. Besides, the total bill has already been stamped, “PAID in full”. In our God’s glorious name we pray, on rainy or sunshine days, AMEN. By Rev. Roger Skelley-Watts Huron United Methodist Church

So, it’s best to consult a professional to discuss all your insurance and financial needs.

We never think about growing older until it is suddenly upon us. This is very true for Dorothy Ochs at age 77 and facing multiple medical issues since turning 65. She states she has always been extremely healthy and active, being a stay at home mom and raising 3 children. She has lived in Huron her whole life and worked at Philco until getting married. Dorothy’s husband, Thomas Ochs, worked as a Commercial Fisherman until starting at Lorain Ford where he spent 22 years. Sadness soon followed when her husband passed away shortly after retirement. Her strength and determination as well as living in such a caring, giving community has helped her to face her many challenges. Her son recently moved back from North Carolina to live with her. Her heart belongs to beautiful, picturesque Huron. She feels blessed to have lived in an area that demonstrates such a sense of community, “A Great Lake Place.”

Dorothy is one of Admiral’s Pointe Nursing & Rehabilitation’s many success stories. Her health had begun to deteriorate and she spent several weeks in the hospital. Facing a few weeks of needed rehab, Dorothy chose

Admiral’s Pointe, becoming the first person to be admitted to their new 14,000 sq ft. therapy suite addition. Dorothy can’t stress enough the great care she has received. She stated, “It’s nice, the rooms are so big, and private.” She has instantly felt not like a resident, but a part of the family. Her first

reason for choosing Admiral’s Pointe was being so close to home, and all her family and friends being close by. She says now as she is getting ready to leave and return home that Admiral’s Pointe has been her home away from home. She believes the individualized care she received is the key reason she is ready to resume her active lifestyle. She states, “The staff and therapy staff are caring and dedicated”. She smiles as she talks about the great care she has received, the friendships she has made. She wants everyone to know that in choosing a Nursing Home, you don’t have to look any further than Admiral’s Pointe. She told friends that you don’t have time to get bored, the activities keep you very busy and there are many to choose from. Dorothy smiles as she is greeted daily by the facility dog “Shadow”. Dorothy states, I would reccomend Admiral’s Pointe to anyone who wants to regain their independence because your road to recovery begins when you walk through their door.

Gardening

August and September Gardening The heat has come, scorched our gardens, and then the time of rain came and overwatered them. What can a gardener to do to maintain his landscape, and keep it looking nice through fall? Many questions have come to me in the past several weeks, about what to do about the tomatoes, and how to save the lawn. The following are a few tips to take to heart, and start taking care of our fall gardens. First of all, perennials which are finished blooming maybe deadheaded and cut back now, if you don’t want them to show in the winter months. I leave grasses, lilies, vines, and various stalk plants to show up with winter snow, just to add interest at my windows this winter. Nothing is lovelier than the bending and waving of the grasses after a snow storm. As long as your flowers are still blooming, make sure you

deep water 1” per week until the show fades. When tomatoes start winding down they can be pulled and thrown into the compost pile if the vines are just old, and NOT diseased. If they are diseased wrap in plastic and put into the usual garbage. Please do not burn these plants, as some of the diseases live on, and come back next year. Allow you grass to become a little longer, to keep the roots cool. Mow when you must, but realize that even the grass is slowing down now or it is supposed to be slowing down! Each area of the county will be slightly different when it comes to amount of rain received, so you have to be the judge over your own landscape. Now is also the time to nose about and collect seeds from annuals and vines. I have a very interesting scarlet runner bean, which has red flowers, and purple edible pods that I grow on a arbor which is over a walkway, and the bean plant gives me seeds for the next year. The same goes for morning glories, and other vines. Just remember to dry them thoroughly on paper towels, and then store in manila envelopes over the winter in a dark cool place. They will

reward you again next year with blooms. Early in September is the time to plant a late crop of green beans, or even spinach and lettuce. Plant quickly, make sure they are watered, and you can have that second crop. Now is also the time to decide if you want to plant new spring bulbs, and plan splashes of color around your landscape. One of my beds has over 300 bright yellow ‘King Alfred” daffodils, and they stop traffic when they are all blooming. I am noticing that the slugs and snails are after my Hosta again, and have discovered an easy cure. Place small lids or tins of stale beer around the garden, and they will become interested in the beer and crawl in and drown. Remember that weeds are still growing well, and dropping seeds like crazy in August. Check the gardens frequently and pull them out as soon as they are seen. I know the weeding is most peoples worst chore, but, if you think about it, what you pull out now will not make more seeds for more generations of weeds to come. Happy Gardening

We want your pictures and stories. Drop them in the Huron Hometown News mailbox at the Huron Chamber of Commerce.

What’s Cooking? with Gretchen Studer

Pork Tenderloin with Balsamic Olive Oil Sauce Prep Time: 5 minutes Serving Size: about 4-oz. each Number of Servings: 6 servings Special Notes: Pork tenderloin is too little to be treated like a roast and too large to be treated like a steak. Butterflying the tenderloin lengthwise, however, makes it possible to quickly cook this cut stovetop. If the tenderloin is too long for the pan, simply cut off the thin tail end and cook it in the skillet alongside the main piece. Ingredients • 2 small pork tenderloins (about 12oz. each), patted dry and sliced lengthwise almost all the way through, then opened up • 3 tablespoons pure olive oil • Salt and ground black pepper • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar • 1/4 cup chicken broth • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

Directions Pour pure olive oil into a shallow pan. Dip each side of each tenderloin in the oil to completely coat, then sprinkle each side with salt and pepper. Heat a 12-inch heavy-bottomed nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add tenderloins. Cook until pork develops a thick, golden brown crust, about 5 minutes. Turn pork and cook until remaining side develops the same crust, about 5 minutes longer. Remove pork from heat and let stand while making sauce. Add vinegar and chicken broth to the skillet; boil until reduced to 1/4 cup, about 1 to 2 minutes. Whisk in extra virgin olive oil. To serve, slice tenderloins in half lengthwise and then into 1-inch slices. Serve with sauce.

Changes at Huron Library Due to a projected 30% reduction in state funding, the Huron Public Library will be open fewer hours, cut staffing, reduce wages, and cut library spending in all areas. The Huron Public Library’s hours of service effective August 9, 2009 will be Monday and Tuesday 10 – 6, Wednesday and Thursday 10 – 8, Friday 10 – 5 and Saturday 10 – 1 throughout the year. Staffing changes include wage reductions, reductions in hours, and layoffs. There has also been a significant reduction in spending, par-

ticularly supplies and materials. The Huron Public Library is committed to providing the best possible library services with the resources available. The Huron Public Library thanks the supporters of the library who made the difference in lessening the state budget reduction by calling, writing and emailing the Governor and legislators. Your continued support of public libraries is critical and we thank you for your patience as changes are implemented.

Local students learn CPR & AED During cardiac arrest, every second counts. The American Heart Association recently celebrated National CPR & AED Awareness Week by working towards training one million people in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and the use of an automated external defibrillator (AED). Marisa Munafo, RN, Education Specialist at Firelands Regional Medical Center and Training Center Coordinator for the

THE PARTNERSHIP of Firelands Regional Medical Center and University Hospitals Ireland Cancer Center brings you and your loved ones the highest quality distinction in cancer care – now available close to home, where we can work together to cure cancer.

American Heart Association recently volunteered her time along with Huron Firefighters and Janice Wallace, RN, school nurse with Huron City Schools, to teach CPR to Tom Bollenbachers physical education class at Huron High School. Over 80 students were taught the American Heart Association Heartsaver CPR class. Students were able to successfully demonstrate correct hand position for CPR and

practice CPR on manikins. They also learned how to respond to a choking victim. The students had the opportunity to practice with the Automatic External Defibrillator (AED). An AED is located in Huron High School, McCormick Junior High School, Woodlands Intermediate School and also the field house. “It is imperative that the students are aware of the location and function of the AED’S. If the AED is used within 3-5 minutes it can save lives,” states Marisa Munafo, RN. Firelands Regional Medical Center is a Training Center for the American Heart Association and offers numerous classes including: Healthcare Provider CPR, Heartsaver CPR, Community & Friends CPR, Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) and Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS). To register for an American Heart Association class call Firelands Regional Medical Center at 419-557-6740. Firelands Regional Medical Center is a 400-bed, full service, not-for-profit hospital.
