FROM THE BENCH RENTERS FACING FORECLOSURE BY JUDGE BILL STEUK, There have been HURON MUNICIPAL a number of stories COURT about foreclosure cases in the news lately. Foreclosures not only affect homeowners but foreclosures can impact landlords who own apartment units. Foreclosures of these units can leave a tenant who rents from such a landlord in a very difficult position. Many tenants may not know what to do in this situation. The Ohio Attorney General’s Office, the Ohio Department of Commerce and the Ohio State Legal Services Association have offered some help. These offices have developed an information sheet to inform renters of what options and assistance are available when the house or apartment they are renting is in foreclosure. The information sheet is in a question and answer format. Below are examples. What happens if I am renting a house or apartment that is in foreclosure? Answer: In Ohio, foreclosure is a legal process. A complaint (lawsuit) must be filed in order for any lender to legally take the house or apartment away from an owner. The filing of a complaint is only the beginning of the legal process. Your landlord still owns the house or apartment until a court grants a judgment in foreclosure and the property has been sold at a sheriff’s sale. Do I need to keep paying rent once the foreclosure is filed? Answer: Yes. Your landlord still owns the property until there is a judgment and sale. If you stop paying your rent, your landlord could file an eviction action in court for nonpayment of rent. However, each person’s situation is different, and there are many practical is-
sues you may want to consider in making a decision to stop paying rent or to move. You may be in the best position to decide whether your landlord will decide to take legal action against you. Is my landlord still required to perform his/her obligations while the property goes through the foreclosure process? Answer: Yes. Until the court approves the sale, your landlord must still fulfill all of his/her obligations under the lease and law, just like you must continue to pay rent. Therefore, your landlord is still responsible for making repairs, paying any utilities he/she agreed to pay, etc. The fact that a foreclosure was filed is NOT an excuse for the landlord to stop performing his/her obligations. If you are having difficulty getting your landlord to fulfill his/her obligations, you may want to seek legal advice by contacting your local legal aid program. To find the legal aid that serves your county, go to http://www.ohiolegalservices.org/programs or call 1-866-law-ohio (1-866-529-6446). To view the complete information sheet, you can visit the following website: www.savethedream.ohio. gov or visiting the Ohio Attorney General’s website: www.ag.state.oh.us. You can also call 1-888-4044674 for this information. Furthermore, renters who are seeking information or legal assistance regarding foreclosure issues can call Ohio Legal Services at 1-866-law-ohio (1-866-529-6446) or visit www.ohiolegalservices.org/programs. 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.

The Huron Police Department’s Marine Enforcement Unit receives the gift of a 1999 - 26 ft. Boston Whaler from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) Division of Watercraft.
ODNR Gifts Boat to Huron PD BY JENNIFER B. KILBURY, FREELANCE WRITER/PHOTOGRAPHER FOR THE CITY OF HURON
In keeping with the spirit of the season the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) Division of Watercraft has given the Huron Police Department’s Marine Enforcement Unit the gift of a 1999 26 ft. Boston Whaler. This used watercraft is fully equipped and will replace the 1986, 22 ft. Boston Whaler the department was using as their Police Boat. The 26 ft. Whaler became available after ODNR was awarded a boat through Homeland Security. After several letters lobbying for the boat, ODNR awarded the vessel to the Huron Police Department. With the opening of the new public boat ramp sometime in 2009, the potential of increased boat traffic is great. The newly gifted police boat from the state will be a valuable tool for the Huron Police Department to be better equipped to patrol the waterways, enforce the laws and help educate boaters in and around the Huron area. There are several grants associated with the possession of this particular watercraft making the benefits outweigh the costs, stated Sergeant Kevin Durbin, who coordinates the marine patrol operations for The City of Huron Police Department. The operational costs associated with the police boat are minimal compared to the benefits, stated Sergeant Durbin. The Marine Patrol Unit has been awarded grants for six consecutive years through the state’s very competitive ODNR Marine Patrol Assistance Program. The Division of Watercraft relies heavily on local marine patrols to help keep Ohio’s waters safe and this program helps offset the operational expenses associated with the police boat. The ODNR assistance grant covers 75% of the costs associated with operating the vessel, leaving approximately 25% of the costs to be covered by the city. In 2008, the ODNR Marine Patrol Assistance grant awarded $16,983.00 toward the police department’s marine enforcement efforts. Per the grant guidelines, the city set aside approximately $6,000.00. This grant helps to pay for uniforms, equipment, salaries, training and fuel. Other grants that have been applied for and have been received have covered the costs of swim buoys and proper signage. In addition to the increase in boating popularity in Huron due to the new boat ramp, the new Huron Police Boat will also be beneficial in generating a presence and assisting in Homeland Security tasks. There is critical infrastructure within the city that can be easily accessed from either the lake or the river.

There are three water treatment plant facilities that supply water to thousands of residents in Huron. The Norfolk and Southern Railway routes cross over the Huron River, thus allowing access to a great deal of the north central United States and Canada. The Ohio Turnpike and Ohio State Route 2 are two major interstates each accessible by the Huron River. By having added protection by boat to these critical infrastructure areas offers the opportunity to receive extra funds through a Homeland Security Grant. “While on a Homeland Security designated patrol the Huron Police Department is reimbursed 100% for the hours worked by the Homeland Security Grant,” stated Sergeant Durbin. The city of Huron has a jurisdiction of a 3 to 4 mile stretch along the southern shoreline of Lake Erie. Totaling a six square mile area of coverage when factoring the enforcement authority extends another two miles out from the shore. “The lake is one of Huron’s greatest resources,” stated Sergeant Durbin. The shoreline is predominately beaches or residential property….it needs protecting, he continued. Many times, the fact that Huron is a border city with an international shipping channel is overlooked. With the increased boating traffic in Huron waters, it is good to be proactive, stated Sergeant Durbin. Sergeant Durbin downplays his role in the development of the Marine Patrol Program. In 1993 the program began with the support of Police Chief Randy Glovinsky and then City Manager Mike Tann. Three police officers became Marine Patrolled Certified while riding with ODNR to begin developing the Marine Program. Over the years the program has expanded and changed as different opportunities have presented themselves. “We are very excited about how far we have come with the program, currently 12 out of the 13 officers within the department are Marine Patrol certified,” stated Sergeant Durbin. “Much of our success has been contributed to the great relationships we have developed with ODNR, Border Patrol, Homeland Security, Huron Fire Department, Huron Parks & Recreation, the Boat Basin, the local marinas, and many local businesses.” What is going to happen to the old police boat? In 2006 the 1986 22 ft. Boston Whaler was given to the Huron Police Department from the Huron Fire Department. At that time, the state of Ohio outfitted the boat with 2 new motors, new paint and graphics. The motors will be returned to the state and the boat will be returned to the Fire Department to be sold or auctioned. At that time the proceeds will be returned to the Rescue Squad Fund.

City of Huron Receives Grant to Dredge BY: JENNIFER B. KILBURY, FREELANCE WRITER/PHOTOGRAPHER FOR THE CITY OF HURON Recreational boaters will notice improved waterway navigation next summer at the Huron Boat Basin. The City of Huron received a grant back in September of 2007 under the Recreation Harbor Evaluation Program Grant, awarded by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) Division of Watercraft to dredge the municipal boat basin. “This grant was one we applied for back on April 1, 2007. It is 100 percent funded and will allow the City of Huron to continue its efforts to attract recreational boaters and further improve the waterfront area,” stated Doug Steinwart, Facilities Manager of the Huron Boat Basin. “We have contracted with Geo. Gradel Co. of Toledo, Ohio for maintenance dredging to remove 10,500 cubic feet of silt before the end of the year.” The 100 percent funded Recreation Harbor Evaluation Program Grant covers the total $135,650 from Geo. Gradel Co. The Geo. Gradel Co. bid includes furnishing all labor, material, tools and equipment required to dredge the approximate 10,500 cubic yards of silt from the municipal marina and dispose of it in the Huron Harbor Open Lake Disposal Site. The Huron Harbor Open Lake Disposal Site is an approved dumping area located three miles north of the Huron Lighthouse. Prior to dredging according to the Project Condition Soundings the average depth within the basin ranged from 2 to 6 feet. The more shallow area tended to be closer to the amphitheater and the deeper area closer to the river. Ultimately after dredging, the marina should be about 7 to 8 feet deep depending on the water level. This should help us to better accommodate the sailboats that use our marina, stated Steinwart. The last time the Huron Boat Basin Marina was dredged was in the years 1999 and 2000. These consecutive years combined approximately 20,000 cubic yards of silt was removed from the basin. Huron has been very fortunate over the past years to have been awarded this grant funding from the state. Steinwart states he is proactively taking steps to investigate alternative methods of controlling the sediment build up in the basin. Grant opportunities to slow down the sediment fill by adding sheet piling to the outside marina wall is one method. This type of protection from surges and northeast winds that currently accelerate the movement of silt is being studied and evaluated. The ODNR Division of Watercraft administers the Recreation Harbor Evaluation Program, which provides local political subdivisions, recreation, park and conservancy districts, and state and federal agencies up to 100 percent re-
imbursement assistance for dredging projects that benefit recreational boaters on Lake Erie, the Ohio River and their respective tributaries. The funds are provided through the Ohio Waterways Safety Fund, which is comprised of a share of the state motor fuels tax, watercraft registration and titling fees, and assistance from the U.S. Coast Guard.

What in the world do we have to learn from Ebenezer Scrooge about protecting our identities during the busy holiday season? Plenty! Scrooge was a miserly old git who wouldn’t share anything—his coal, his wealth, his love. The ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future scared him into realizing that giving generously is what the holidays (and life) are all about. But the ghosts forgot to mention that as he donated his wealth, paid for Tiny Tim’s medical care and purchased gifts for all of London, he should continue to be miserly with personal information! Distraction is our worst enemy. During the holidays, in addition to spending more money, we tend to be busier, more stressed out and less careful than other times of the year. Identity thieves take advantage of our distraction to perform information extraction. In the spirit of Charles Dickens, here are Scrooge’s Holiday Prevention Tips: Protect your home. Your greatest risk during the busy-ness is all of the extra people that come into your home. It makes it very easy to pocket a checkbook that’s on your desk or a brokerage statement in your filing cabinet. We’d all like to believe that the people we know wouldn’t steal from us. Unfortunately, statistics prove that identity theft is committed by someone the victim knows approximately 30-50% of the time. I recommend that you shred every document you don’t need and purchase a fire-safe to lock up your valuable identity documents. Use your credit card. Don’t use checks and don’t use a debit card. When you use either of these forms of payment, the money is drawn directly from your bank account. If fraud does occur, it’s harder to get the money reimbursed and in the meantime, you don’t have the money to spend. When you use a credit card, nothing is withdrawn from your bank account. Leave your purse in the trunk. For women, take a wallet that fits in your coat packet and leave your purse in the trunk or at home. It is too easy to steal a purse (30% of all identity theft) that is sitting at your feet as you pay or have lunch. The very best advice is to take your driver’s license and one or two credit cards with you as you shop and store them in your front pocket. The chances that you will lose them decrease exponentially as you leave more at home. If you must have a purse, use one that zips and hangs in front of you. Watch your statements. Simply monitoring your checking, debit and credit card accounts frequently can catch most forms of holiday identity theft. Remember, the pain of this crime gets much worse if you don’t catch it quickly. By monitoring your financial statements, you will catch credit card and check theft immediately. I recommend that you monitor your accounts online, which is fast, convenient and smart. Even better, sign up for automatic account alerts when any transaction occurs on your account. If you spend $1 at a store, you receive an email notifying you of the purchase. If you receive email for an amount you didn’t spend—bingo! —You’re probably a victim of fraud. Visit your bank online to set up account alerts. Shop on secure websites. Shopping online can be safer for your identity than shopping in person. But you do need to make sure you adequately protect your computer and that you shop on secure websites. Sites with a good reputation (such as Amazon, Sears, Land’s End, Eddie Bauer— names you can easily recognize) are a good place to start. When you begin shopping, make sure that the website address in your browser changes from http:// to https:// This lets you know that your private information (name credit card number, address and phone) will be encrypted so that hackers can’t steal it. Finally, if the Lock symbol appears in the bottom right-hand corner of your browser, click on it and make sure that the security certificate belongs to the store at which you are shopping. Don’t trust your email. There are so many holiday scams by email that you should read everything with an enormous grain of salt. If someone is promising you something for nothing (free gift, free money, etc.), don’t buy it. If they threaten to close your account if you don’t update information online, don’t buy it. If you don’t know the person on the other end of the email, don’t believe it. Delete it. Be a Scrooge with what you say. Don’t give your credit card number (or Social Security Number) over the phone if someone is within an earshot. Be especially careful about what information you give away over your cell phone in public. When you are typing your PIN into your ATM or the credit card swiper at the store, cover up your fingers so that the person behind you can’t see. There are so many fraud schemes once someone has your PIN I can’t even describe them here. Rotate your credit cards. After the busy holiday shopping season is over, call your credit card company and ask them to issue you a new card. (You can tell them you are concerned your credit card number was stolen.) Make sure they transfer your credit limit to the new account with any miles or perks you have attached to that card. Also make sure any auto-pay charges set up on your card are transferred to the new card (e.g. if you auto-pay your cell phone bill on your credit card each month you will need to call your cell phone provider and give them the new credit card number.) By rotating your credit card this way, you are making sure that all of the personal data sitting in retail databases is no longer valid. If they lose the credit card number you used during holiday shopping, it will no longer be valid. Please remember that your private information is YOUR PROPERTY. Treat it with care and have a safe and happy holiday!

Gardening Care of Christmas Cactus BY MARY STRAYER, ERIE COUNTY MASTER GARDENER
party, and bring them out then. If you leave them in the warmer temperatures for a few days, you chance loosing young blooms, which haven’t really matured yet. Just try to keep them away from drafts from any heat source for longer life. Secondly, watering is very important. The plant is a tropical plant and not quite as draught tolerant as their name implies. Water thoroughly when the top half of the soil in the pot feels dry to the touch. Discard excess water, then do not water again until the top is dry once again. The length of time between watering does vary depending upon the air temperature, amount of light, and rate of growth, plus humidity in the room. After the blossoms fade and fall off the plant doesn’t look like much, but with a little extra care they will comeback larger and full of blooms next year as well. First of all don’t forget that these plants can adapt to low light, but do much better in more intense light. It is for this reason that I take my own outside around May 15, here in USDA Zone 5, and bring them in when the nights get below 45 degrees. Keep them in the shade or semishady location and check their water supply often. Too much direct sunlight burns their leaves. This causes the blooms to begin to form, and assures me that I will have blooms as holiday time.
Christmas cacti have been around for centuries, as they are very long-lived plants. They are what gardeners call ‘pass along’ plants, and they go from one generation to the next. My own family has one that measures 5’ across, and has bloomed at one home for more than 50 years. Many ‘starts’ have been given over the years. However if you want to keep them going after you receive one there are a few tips that really work. First of all, when you receive your cactus, it usually is in bud or even has some blooms on it. Those blooms stay longer in cooler temperatures. So, keep them in a bright window in a cool room until you are ready to show them off at that special

Well-drained soil is a must for Christmas cactus. Use a commercially package potting mix for succulent plants for best results. You can mix your own by combining two parts plain potting soil with one part clean sand. Pruning your Christmas cactus after blooming will encourage the plant to branch out. Remove a few sections of each stem by pinching them off with your fingers. These sections can be rooted by simply placing them back into the soil in the pot the mother plant was in. If you want to force your cactus to bloom, they respond well to long uninterrupted dark periods. Begin the dark treatments in mid-October, to have them in full bloom by the holidays. Be sure the room/closet where they are placed is not warmer than 50 degrees for the best results. Happy Gardening!

So far we have collected over 8 giant garbage bags full of just plastic bottles. This Holiday season we made an evergreen tree out of only clear bottles for our SAVE A TREE PROJECT. We will continue to collect bottles throughout the year to take to the local recycling center. We are also holding a contest to guess the number of bottles used in the trees construction for fun holiday prizes.

Earlier this year, she staged the play, “Vision,� at the Cleveland Playhouse featuring children from five to fifteen years old as cast members. The children also helped to write the script that centered on
their vision of the present and the future.

Football Team Celebrates a Year of Success On a recent evening, the 2008 Huron Tiger Football team and cheerleaders gathered for one final time at the Kalahari Resort. The team had many things to be proud of besides the fact that they were the first to play on the new Kalahari field. They overcame the loss of their starting QB in the first game, persevered, and still reached a goal of making the state playoffs. It was a wonderful evening and a celebration of young people We have the Perfect who have given up their time and worked hard to achieve. The banquet, well organized by Beth Grieves and emHoliday Gift Ready for You. ceed by Mac Lehrer, was a well run machine. Typical of the Huron football program, the evening was a team efHUSQVARNA VIKINGÂŽ fort with all of the coaches participating in one form or Emerald 116 for ONLY $299 another. The food, provided by Kalahari, was excellent. PLUS FREE Sewing Classes in 2009!* In keeping with a theme that these kids are first and foremost student athletes, the first recognitions of the night were for those who displayed excellence off the field. An amazing 39 of 60 of the team members had a 3.0 GPA or higher. The team average was an outstanding 3.3 with two members, Joe Ramey and Eric Hahn carrying a 4.0. Several scholarships were presented to a variety of student athletes including Patrick McNulty, Mike Mielke, Craig Thorne, Ben DeLamatre, and Matt Likes. There was a presentation of this seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s *Owner classes provided by Dealer cheerleaders done by advisors Lisa Smith and Aimee Johnson.

Tiger Hoopsters Drop Pair On The Road AS REPORTED BY: MAC LEHRER The 2008-09 Huron Tiger Boys Basketball team had a tough start to their season with road losses to the Edison Chargers and Sandusky Blue Streaks over the weekend. The Tigers played Friday at Edison and ended up on the short end of the scoreboard (94-62), in a fast paced, up tempo ball game for both squads. Huron used a full court press and deep bench strength for much of the first half to keep the game close (5139) before intermission. In the second half, the Chargers used their size advantage and skillful ball handling to pull away from the Tigers for the win. Huron was led by sophomore Brian Bollenbacher with 16 points in his first varsity start, and Steve Bowers and Anthony Camella each chipped in with 13 and 12 points respectively. On Saturday, Huron took on the talented Sandusky Blue Streaks at the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Big Houseâ&#x20AC;? at Sandusky High School. Fans were entertained with a â&#x20AC;&#x153;run and gunâ&#x20AC;? first quarter, as both teams sprinted up and down the court, with Huron holding the lead (24-21) at the end of the first stanza. Tigers turnovers and heavy pressure from Sandusky, took its toll in the second quarter as the Streaks gained a (4534) advantage at halftime. The second half turned in favor of the hosts, as the scrappy Tigers went cold from the field and lost the rebounding battle to the taller Blue Streaks. The final score (95-58) does not reflect the effort and determination showed by the Huron team. Leading the Tigers in scoring were senior Matt Lehrer with 12 points and senior Collin Scheid with 10. Head Coach Jeff Winslow and his squad will be searching for their first win, as the Tigers play host to the Norwalk Truckers on Tuesday, then travel to â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Denâ&#x20AC;? for a Sandusky Bay Conference clash with the Panthers of St. Mary Central Catholic High School on Saturday.

Leasing With An Option to Buy —One Route to Home Ownership BY SCOTT BIECHELE, PRESIDENT, FIRELANDS ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS
Leasing with an option to buy is an often-overlooked type of financing that can make home ownership a reality for cash-strapped buyers. A lease-purchase option offers a dual advantage, by giving buyers time to accumulate down payment or closing cost funds, while eventually netting the seller a return as favorable as that realized on a more immediate sale. A lease-purchased option is a cross between a typical contract-of-purchase and a lease, and is scarcely different from writing a contract with a delayed closing. Although this type of transaction is a little more complicated than some of the others, it helps prospective buyers become homeowners. Sellers will be happy they’re out of the property and pleased to have renters who may take better care of the home than would renters with no stake in it. A lease purchase option agreement generally lists the purchase price, amount of option funds (a nonrefundable payment the buyer makes toward the down payment), length of the lease term, amount of the monthly rent payment, and the amount of the rent payment to be credited toward the purchase. Since the option funds are not refundable, the tenants must be prequalified for the financing needed to close when the lease-purchase option is drawn up. In addition, they must make sure they will have the funds to close on the specified closing date. REALTY, INC The greater the option funds payment, the ore serious a tenant is about buying when the lease expires. Although an offer of a minimal deposit is best discarded, an offer for incremental deposits should be considered. The seller could, in turn, apply the option funds collected toward a lease-purchase option of his own, if he is financially incapable of buying until his tenant exercises the option to buy. In addition, while the home is leased, the rent (419) 627-1111 collected by the seller covers the monthly mortgage payment on the www.VacationlandRealty.com unsold home. A major benefit for both buyers and sellers is that a lease-purchase option allows immediate occupancy for prospective buyers who would otherwise not be buying the seller’s home. This is particularly useful for contracts involving out-of-town buyers. Since a lease-purchase option does involve the risk that the option will not be exercised, the agreement should require the tenant to notify the seller of his intentions within 30 to 60 days before the lease expires. Then, the seller can begin marketing the property before the lease expires should the tenant decide not to buy. However, payment of the non-refundable option funds, plus the rent credit, does give the tenant STRAYER GROUP a strong incentive to purchase the property.
