Local Woman Honored for Years of Contribution to Track and Field On January 28, long time Sandusky resident Jackie Collins, was honored at the Ohio Track and Field and Cross Country Officials Association banquet in Columbus for her years of contribution, especially to the sport of Track and Field.

She was also honored at the recent Sandusky vs.

Huron boys basketball game (Feb. 15) for the award.

Jackie Collins has been involved with the Sandusky Booster Club for COLLINS over 20 years. She organizes and conducts the Sandusky Grade School

Biddy sports programs that includes, flag & tackle football, wrestling, boys & girls basketball and summer track. She also finds time to cook for the Sandusky & Huron Football teams.

Jackie volunteers her time by coaching track & field throwers from Sandusky (15 years) and Huron (10 years). She is an instructor at the Jud Logan Track and Field Summer Camp at Ashland University and holds numerous track throwing camps of her own. Jackie also coaches kids from the surrounding Erie County area.

She has coached numerous athletes to school records and State Champions. She has coached the last four athletes at Huron High that broke the school record in the Discus.

Despite a handicap Jackie is one of the hardest working individuals you could ever meet.

She does what she does for the love of the kids and to watch them succeed. Most of the time she is in a motorized wheel chair but her enthusiasm, drive, and encouragement out weigh her handicap. She can be found spending an afternoon coaching the throwers followed by a drive to the biddy games, followed by a Booster meeting and get up the next day and do it all again. She must be plugged in the motorized wheel chair otherwise how does she keeps it up. Her throwers affectionately call her ‘Mama’ and she deserves the title. She takes care of the throwers as if they were her own children and they reciprocate by trying their best just for her.

Jackie was nominated by Bill Scott, Huron’s head boys track coach.

Huron Swimmers Compete at District Meet Six Huron swimmers capped off a banner season by competing in the Northwest Ohio Division II District Championships at BGSU on Saturday. February 19.

For the boys, the 200 medley relay team of Stephen Tomczyk (Sophomore), Matt Buckingham (Junior), Jon Turner (Sophomore) and Ryan Brownell (Sophomore) dropped a half a second overall and finished with a 1:54.64.

Turner turned in a 2:22.52 in the 200 IM, while Buckingham had a personal record time of 1:08.93, dropping over a second in the 100 Breast.

Kevin Tomczyk (Freshman), Stephen Tomczyk, Turner and Brownell swam both the 200 Free and 400 Free relays posting personal records in both events with times of 1:40.68 and

3:47.68 respectively.

For the girls team, Alli Slocum (Sophomore) had a personal record in the 100 Breast with a time of 1:16.35.

Five of the six swimmers participated at this level for the first time, with Turner being

the only returning district qualifier. First year Coach Adam Warner was pleased with his team’s performance. “I thought it was a great experience for the swimmers to compete at a high level and get their best times in the process.”

District Meet Results While none of the Tiger swimmers qualified to move on, Coach Adam Warner is proud that Huron’s participants had all three of the mens’ relay teams drop one second off their best times.

Meanwhile, two out of the three individual event participants were able to decrease their best times.

Around Town LETTER TO THE EDITOR Dear Friends of the Huron Library: For those who don’t know me, I am Nancy Smith. Now retired, I am a volunteer at the library. At the last Friends of the Huron Library meeting, I was selected as the new president. I am honored to have the opportunity to serve as president for the “Friends”. This organization, started in 1990, is but a small piece of the financial outlook on the library; however, I hope to build on the successes of the past presidents, Mary Helen Kay and Marian Hancy, and move the organization to a place where some of the financial shortfalls of the state’s budgetary cutbacks on the library can be offset by its citizens and library patrons.

I know this organization can’t do this alone. It will take direction from the Library Director, the Library Board, and the staff of the library. Furthermore, the organization

can only be strong with the help, co-operation, and support of its members.

I feel that it is important that the “Friends” increase its membership rolls to help keep this library, which is a valuable resource, viable. Personally, I would like to see each and every family in Huron represented by at least one member. For less than 3 cents a day, this can be a reality. What else can you buy for 3 cents a day? Not a cup of coffee; not a candy bar; not a soft drink; in fact, there is not much that can be purchased for 3 cents a day except a Friends membership which helps the library with funds to pay for activities, books, magazines, DVDs, and more.

I look forward to meeting every member, new and old, in the coming months. With your help, we can make the Friends of the Huron Library group strong, and with strength, comes financial stability for our library.

Sincerely yours, Nancy Smith

FROM JUDGE WILLIAM STEUK The Huron Municipal Court has revised its security procedures while court is in session. During this time, the Williams Street door will be locked and visitors will only be allowed to use the door facing Main Street, which is the Municipal Building’s main entrance. Upon entering this door, a security officer will be checking each individual by a metal detector to determine if there are any forbidden items on their person or in their belongings. The security officer will be checking all bags including purses for any such items. All visitors to the Municipal Court during court hours may not bring wireless communication devices (including, without limitation, cellular phones, laptop or notebook computers, ipods, etc.) or weapons of any kind. All visitors are asked to leave those items in their car or home. These new security measures are similar to measures used by other courts and are implemented to help insure the safety of all visitors. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and do sincerely appreciate your understanding.

TAXES

Deducibility of Charitable Contributions FROM DEE HARTLEY, ENROLLED AGENT AND SENIOR TAX ADVISOR AT H & R BLOCK. This week I would like to talk to you about your Charitable Contributions.

To take the deduction for contributions to charities on your Schedule A you must have a receipt from the organization and or a canceled check. You can no longer take a deduction for a cash contribution unless you have a receipt from the church or charity. If you are giving cash at church you need to use your envelopes and request your giving report before you complete your tax return.

IRS says “For any contribution of $250 or more you must obtain and keep in your records a contemporaneous written acknowledgment from the qualified organization containing the name of the organization, the date of the contribution, and the amount of the contribution.”

Now let’s look at those receipts. Read them carefully. If

you can not find in writing a statement that they are a 501(c) 3 qualified organization, your contribution is probably not deductible. To check further you can go to www. irs.gov and put Pub 78 in the search box. This will get you to a search page where you can enter the name of the organization. If it is not in this IRS Publication it isn’t deductible.

Searching for Huron, Ohio will get you the names of 32 Huron organizations including the newest Huron Community Services (Dial A Drive) and our own Huron Playhouse.

This is not to say that collections from other groups are not worthy of your money. It takes money and a lot of dedicated time to get an organization to the 501(c ) 3 status.

Churches and Schools are generally qualified organizations and some groups are allowed to shelter under their status.

I have already seen some receipts that do a lot of talking about being registered and protecting your money. Reading all of the receipt and checking the Publication 78 puts their deductibility in the trash can.

If you have a question or a topic you would like to see covered here, please email me at dhartley@hrblock.com.

Everyone will notice, but no one will know.

Firelands Physician Group Achieves MGMA ‘Better Performer’ Status Firelands Physician Group was recently nationally recognized because of superior operational performance compared with similar medical group practices nationwide.

Specific areas for which Firelands Physician Group was recognized included, accounts receivable and collections, and patient satisfaction. The recognition as a “better performer� was based on the Medical Group Management Association (MGMA) Performance and Practices of Successful Medical Groups: 2010 Report Based on 2009 Data.

For over 20 years, Firelands Physician Group has been providing primary care and specialty care services to the surrounding region. “This recognition demonstrates the extraordinary care and outstanding practice management delivered by our physicians and staff,� says Janis Shriver,

Executive Director of Firelands Physician Group. “High patient satisfaction along with comprehensive medical services allows Firelands Physician Group to provide the community with the highest-quality healthcare services.�

The MGMA report, a benchmarking standard among medical groups for over a decade, was produced using data from respondents to the MGMA Cost Survey: 2010 Reports Based on 2009 Data as well as data from a questionnaire that assessed management behaviors, practices and procedures of better performers. The report profiles medical practices that have demonstrated success in one or more areas: profitability and cost management; productivity, capacity and staffing; accounts receivable and collections; patient satisfaction; and managed care operations.

What God Can Do REV. ROGER SKELLEY-WATTS, PASTOR HURON UNITED METHODIST CHURCH A cowboy named Stuart Hamblen went on a hunting trip one day, in the High Sierra Mountains. He came upon an old dilapidated prospector’s cabin. Inside Stuart found the old prospector, who had unfortunately not long before passed away from a heart attack.

The man’s hungry, bony, grey-whiskered hound dog lay outside on the front stoop, whining for his master.

Stuart gave the prospector a dignified burial, closed up the cabin; fed and adopted the dog. In the process of straightening up, Stuart found a sheet of butcher paper and a pencil. In about thirty minutes, he wrote out the words and sang the beginnings of a melody to a song which has been recorded numerous times since 1954: “This old house once knew my children. This old house once knew my wife. This old house was home and shelter as we fought the storms of life. This old house once rang with laughter. This old house heard many shouts. Now she trembles in the darkness when the lightning walks about. “This old house is getting shaky. This old house is getting old. This old house lets in the rain and this old house lets in the cold. On my knees I’m getting chilly. But I feel no fear or pain. ‘Cause I see an angel peeking through a broken window pane.

“Now the old hound dog lies asleeping. He don’t know I’m gonna leave. Else he’d wake up by the fireplace. And he’d sit there, howl and grieve. But my hunting days are over. I ain’t gonna hunt the ‘coon no more. Gabriel done brought in chariot When the wind blew down the door.

(CHORUS) “Ain’t gonna need this house no longer. Ain’t gonna need this house no more. Ain’t got time to fix the shingles. Ain’t got time to fix the floor. Ain’t got time to oil the hinges Nor to mend the window pane. Ain’t gonna need this house no longer. I’m getting ready to meet the saints.�

But, of course, the song is only superficially about a house. It is really about the foundation of our lives, and how well we see to its’ construction and upkeep.

That’s also what the Apostle Paul was writing about in his first letter to the Corinthian church chapter 3, and to the Huronites as well: “According to the grace of God given to me, like a skilled Master builder I laid a foundation, and someone else is building on it. Each builder must choose with care how to build on it. For no one can lay any foundation other than the one that has been laid; that foundation is Jesus Christ.�

Have you ever built a house or re-modeled with your spouse or significant other? How did that go for you?

Working together under stress exposes the infrastructure of our relationships. If we haven’t paid attention to keeping the wiring of communications up to code, it frays and sparks and can start a fire big enough to bring down the whole place.

Paul’s scripture wraps up with‌ “Do you not know that you are God’s temple and that God’s spirit dwells in you?...

For God’s temple is holy, and you are that temple.�

Cowboy Stuart Hamblen was the son of an itinerant preacher man from Texas. But he rebelled against his parents’ faith. Joined the rodeo circuit, became a singer of Western ballads. Radio stations began to ask him for guest appearances. In 1928 he recorded some songs for the Victor Talking Machine Company, which led to auditions for the fledgling movie industry.

Stuart was often cast as a “heavy� in those early talking pictures, opposite the “good guys� in the white hats like Roy Rogers and Gene Autry. But then he began to live out those make-believe roles in real life – losing his money at the horse-racing track, drinking, getting into bar-room brawls and landing in jail.

Then in 1933 he married beautiful Suzie who prayed long hours for him and for many years for him to re-build the foundation of his faith upon Jesus Christ. In 1949 evangelist Billy Graham was conducting a crusade in Los Angeles.

Under that enormous canvas cathedral tent, among those who came forward to make a commitment was one Stuart Hamblen. He stopped drinking. He re-named his radio show “the Cowboy Church of the Air.�

Soon after his conversion, he happened to run into old friend John Wayne on the street, who asked, “What’s this I hear about you, Stuart?� “Well, John, I guess it’s no secret what God can do!� Stuart said.

Wayne replied, “Sounds like a song you better hurry up and write down, pilgrim.� Which Stuart Hamblen did: “The chimes of time ring out the news, Another day is through. Someone slipped and fell. Was that someone you?

You may have longed for added strength, Your courage to renew. Do not be disheartened, For I have news for you. “There is no night for in His light You never walk alone.

Always feel at home, Wherever you go. There is no power can conquer you While God is on your side. Take Him at His promise, Don’t run away and hide. “It is no secret what God can do. What He’s done for others, He’ll do for you. With arms wide open, He’ll pardon you. It’s no secret what God can do.�

BGSU Firelands Professor to Release Book on Hometown Huron, Ohio – Larry Smith, professor emeritus of English at Bowling Green State University, is poised to release his newest addition to a growing collection of books on his hometown.

Mingo Junction available through Arcadia Publishing in their Images of America Series, provides a rich photographic history of this working-class town in the upper Ohio River Valley where Smith was born and raised. The book is co-authored by his longtime friend and fellow graduate of Mingo Central High School Guy Mason.

Featuring more than 200 vintage images and memories, the book traces the town’s history back to the Mingo Indians and transports the readers through its early days as a coal mining town and eventually a regional leader in the steel industry. The Ohio city was also a location for the filming of 1978’s award-winning movie The Deer Hunter.

The town’s deep character is etched in its work, social, cultural, and natural landscapes. This is displayed in its schools, churches, businesses and industry, daily life, active social organizations, and its notable historic figures. “Authoring the book was a job I couldn’t refuse,” Smith stated, “a

way to honor my hometown.”

Smith’s experiences as a steel worker in Mingo Junction in the 60s supplied him with a unique and first-hand knowledge of the area and community. Now retired, he also claims former careers as a high school teacher and college professor. He is currently director of the Writing Center at BGSU Firelands, and editor-in-chief of Bottom Dog Press, Inc., Huron, Ohio.

A graduate of Kent State University, Smith is the author of eight books of poetry, a book of memoirs, four books of fiction, two literary biographies, a life biography, and two books of translations from the Chinese. His two others books featuring Mingo Junction are Milldust and Roses: Memoirs and The Long River Home: A Novel.

Smith is the father of three adult children, and is married to Ann Smith, also a native of Mingo Junction, a professor emerita of Nursing at the Medical College of Ohio.

Mingo Junction is available beginning February 21 at area bookstores, independent retailers, and online retailers, or through Arcadia Publishing at www.arcadiapublishing.com or (888)-313-2665. A portion of the sales of the book will be donated to the Mingo Senior Citizen Center.

Keeping Kids Smiling for a Lifetime BY: PATRICIA SHARP, D.D.S, LATA STEFANO, D.D.S, INC. February is Children’s Dental Health Month, and there are several questions parents could be wondering about when it comes to your child’s teeth. Is dental care for my child really necessary? How can I care for my young child’s teeth? What’s the best way I can prepare my child for their first trip to the dentist?

The first thing you may wonder about when considering taking your child to the dentist is if it really needed? A common comment I hear among parents is that babies’ teeth aren’t call 440-967-2424 to schedule a tour today. that important and that they will eventually fall out, why should we care about them at all? I have yet to encounter a parent that would let a cut or wound go without some basic first aid: a little antiseptic, band-aid and tender loving care. Few parents would simply allow a cut to go uncared for, especially on their child’s face. But a similar situation is happening when a cavity is left unfilled in a child’s mouth.

The Commons of Providence Bacteria infect their small teeth and the end result can be facial swelling, pain, and lots of tears. Just giving those teeth a little preventative attention can keep both you and your child out of the ER late at night.

The best way to care for your children’s teeth is to start early. Babies need their gums rubbed with a wet washcloth twice daily, which is even more important as they start cutting their first teeth. Sleeping with milk bottles is discouraged, as this leads to early baby bottle tooth decay. Toddlers may need some incentive for dental care, so consider electric kids’ toothbrushes with fun colors or songs, and always help them and encourage them to brush their teeth. Colorful disposable flossers keep tiny tots from having cavities between teeth, especially between their top front teeth and back teeth. Children who can spit may use a pea-sized amount of toothpaste when they brush. Older children can • Care designed individually use a disclosing agent which turns plaque blue or pink to • Transportation to appointments help them make sure they are getting their teeth clean.

Two Win Weekend for Tiger Men Just as all coaches like to see, the Tigers seem to be building momentum as the season comes to a close. No longer is the team reliant solely on the back of Brian Bollenbacher.

Others are stepping up big when called upon. Don’t get me wrong, Huron will not go anywhere in the tournament unless Bo plays well, but one can really see the development of some of the younger players like Cody Thompson and Aaron Casey. Huron has one more game, next Friday at home against the SBC champion Edison Chargers (Senior Night).

That could be a good yardstick for the youngsters to measure themselves against following a full year of development.

James and his veteran coach- Aaron Casey, just a sophomore, ing staff have has played the most consistent created a team ball of all the youngsters on this that hustles, is Tiger squad. quick and opportunistic on defense, and can run a break like almost no one else in the league. This is a team that needs to run and has the athletic ability to do it. They still struggle with turnovers, a definite sign of a young team, but one hopes they will grow out of that. When slowed down by a solid, ball control offense with an inside presence, they struggle.

But as their bodies mature, that defense should improve as well.

On Friday night, the Tigers travelled to Port Clinton.

When Redskins slowed the game down to their tempo, Huron struggled, as in the first period. The Tigers trailed by eight points, 17-9. PC was lighting it up hitting from both the inside and outside. The visitors were not patient themselves on offense while Port Clinton ate up chunks of clock.

With very few fouls called on either team during the first half, the game flew by. Finally, in the second quarter, the tempo and momentum of the game shifted more to the visitor’s liking. Huron scored the first eight points to tie the game at 17 a piece. Huron’s zone press finally took the Redskins out of their offensive rhythm. A Bollenbacher three with 3:45 left in the first half gave the Tigers their first lead, 20-19 since the opening basket. The teams battled back and forth and went into the locker room tied at 25-25 at the half.

Port Clinton opened the third quarter on a 10-4 run to take a 35-29 lead. The Redskins were making a deliberate effort to slow down the game and pound it inside. But Huron center Aaron Casey knocked in four points at the end of the quarter to bring his team back to within two points, 33-35.

In the final quarter, following a steal, Bollenbacher hit a three to again tie the game at 39 a piece. A minute later, Casey, a very solid free throw shooter, sank two to give his team a 41-40 lead. From this point, the game went back and forth for the final three and a half minutes. Casey definitely playing more aggressively on the offensive end.

With :27 left Huron stole the ball and called time out.

James set up a play most certainly for Bo to get a final look in the closing seconds. But he wasn’t open. Thompson kept his cool and was able to turn the corner on his man at the top of the key, then headed straight for the hole. His running shot hit off the back the rim. Casey, who was crashing the boards, took the rebound and put it back up. It hung there for a moment, and just as the buzzer sounded, it fell through for the 47-45 win. Bollenbacher finished with 18 while the sophomore, Casey, had 15 points including the critical game winner.

On Saturday, the Tigers defeated the NOL leading Norwalk Truckers in Norwalk. Cody Thompson played an outstanding game on both the offensive and defensive ends in the 55-52 Huron victory. Particularly in the final quarter where the Tigers outscored the Truckers 21-13. Casey led Huron with 14 points while Thompson finished with 13 points, and Bollenbacher added 12 of his own.

One thing Huron was able to do well all night was to find a way to get Devon Koenig the ball down low. Her athletic ability allows her to make inside shots from what seems to be the oddest angles even though, at only 5’8”, she isn’t a big physical presence. When she went down for a couple minutes after tweaking her ankle during the final period, Huron had no answer for that. Volz struggled from the field most of the night and Sandusky was able to build a nine point lead with just three and a half minutes to play.

Determined not to give up this lead, Sandusky shadowed Volz no matter where she went during the final four minutes. Koenig came back in, but was noticeably limping and couldn’t jump to get the ball. Sandusky’s point guard Estel did a nice job keeping the ball moving and out of trouble, flying through the Tiger press. Ward tried to pick up the slack and hit Huron’s last two shots, but it was too little, too late and Huron fell, 51-45.

Keonig had an outstanding game scoring 20 points and picking up 12 rebounds. Senior Gina Munafo contributed five assists and six rebounds. Lauren Volz, playing in her final home game of the season with her fellow seniors, added 13 points and 7 rebounds.

The Tigers lost their final regular season game to the Edison Chargers in Milan, 58-46. Volz led Huron with 13 points while Koenig chipped in 10 of her own. The Tigers played an outstanding first half again, trailing by just two points, but could only muster seven while Edison hit eighteen in the deciding third period.

But the students also have flip cams to take photos and videos of their school day and what’s important to them. The students volunteered to take part in the project to show the community how EHOVE is helping them train for a career and prepare for college or the military.

The site features bloggers Forensics student Victoria Stutler (Western Reserve H.S.), Criminal Justice student Jerrid Tucker (Margaretta H.S.), Cosmetology student Kate Olson (Vermilion H.S.) and Forensics student Heaven Gunn (Norwalk H.S.). Each of the four bloggers volunteered to take part in the pilot project, even though it meant extra time out of their busy schedules that already include school, activities like Student Council and student

people who don’t know EHOVE, or knew EHOVE years ago, how great this place is now,” said Stutler.

Tucker wants everyone to know that he and his classmates are getting a great education. “We’re getting the best training in our field, becoming better people and being prepared for a solid future,” said Jerrid.

Gunn wanted to blog because she wants everyone to know what EHOVE has to offer. “I’m on my way to college and the career I want because of EHOVE,” said Gunn.

“I’ve gotten great training, real world experience and am way ahead.”

Olson agrees with her fellow bloggers, but also wants everyone to know she’s enjoying being an EHOVE student too. “We work hard, but we also have fun which helps us learn to make good choices. We’re going to out on our own as adults soon and EHOVE is helping us get ready for it the right way,” said Olson.
