Easter “Egg”-Stravaganza Well Attended at Admiral’s Pointe The weather could not have been more beautiful as hundreds of children descended upon Admiral’s Pointe for the annual Easter “Egg”stravaganza event held March 27.

The annual event features a unique format: Children bring their own empty Easter baskets, and walk through the facility, as residents line the halls handing out candy-filled eggs. Adding to the excitement, some of the eggs had a ‘Golden Ticket’ in them that was used to redeem special prizes. Children had fun searching for the tickets. The event also had a drawing contest, games, refreshments, and was highlighted by a

visit from the Easter Bunny. Children were able to get their pictures taken with the Easter Bunny, and the facility coordinated emailing the photos to parents.

The event has become an annual tradition, with each year seeing increased attendance. Administrator Amy Donaldson said: “It was a thrill to meet so many people and see all those smiling faces; we are truly honored to be a part of this community.”

Plans are already under way for next year’s event, which will remain free and open to the public.

NOMS and The Chapel to co-sponsor Chick-fil-A Leadercast Northern Ohio Medical Specialists (NOMS) announces ten internationallyacclaimed leaders to speak at The Chapel in Huron in May. Community business leaders can access the knowledge and experience of these leaders by attending the Chick-filA Leadercast at The Chapel in Huron on May 7, 2010.

The Chick-fil-A Leadercast is a one-day leadership training event broadcast LIVE from Atlanta, Ga to hundreds of host sites throughout the nation, including Huron.

Speakers for the event include Jim Collins, Tony Dungy, John C Maxwell, Ben Carson, Chip Heath, Jim Goodnight, Ed Bastian, Connie Podesta, Mark Sanborn and Steve Uzzell.

The idea for the Leadercast was con-

ceived ten years ago by Dr. John C Maxwell, “New York Times” best-selling author and speaker. He wanted to combine his influential voice in the community with his desire to reach leaders at the heart level.

This year’s program will focus on how individual and teams can be the one to make a difference at work, at home and in the community. The ten speakers will speak on subjects such as connecting with others, standing out amid the competition, ideas for creative problem solving, leading in challenging circumstances, creating strong team cultures and how to avoid, detect and reverse decline.

This event is co-sponsored by The Chapel and NOMS Healthcare. For more information, call 419-627-0208.

Taxes The Ins and Outs of Filing a Tax Extension From the desk oF dee hartley, senior tax advisor at h & r Block, huron Filing an Extension, Form 4868, extends the time to file, not the time to pay. You need to have a good idea of your bottom line and pay the required tax at the time of filing the extension.

The late filing penalty is greater than the late paying penalty.

What choices do you have if you owe?

1. Mail a personal check for the balance due.

2. Elect to have IRS electronically withdraw the amount from your personal bank account.

3. Pay by credit card.

If you do not have all of the money now, but will have within the next 120 days, you can use the Online Payment Agreement application where you have the choice of: 1.

Paying in full; 2. short term extension; and 3. a monthly payment plan. This is available through www.irs.gov.

If you owe but have NOT yet received a bill from the IRS, you will need the following information to establish an agreement on current year returns: • The balance due shown on the return; • Taxpayer identification number; • Spouse’s taxpayer identification number (if applicable); • Date of birth; • Adjusted Gross Income from last year’s income tax return.

If you are getting a refund what are your choices?

The safest fastest way to receive your refund is to request direct deposit to your checking or savings account. Dou-

Schools & Sports Corso, Volz lead Lady Tigers over Bellevue, 5-3

Sophomore Drew Enderle (red) scores the Tigers first run on the game.

Lakota Comeback Flusters Tigers On a beautiful spring evening following a glorious Easter weekend, the Lakota Raiders came to Fabens Park to take on a short-handed Tiger team.

Huron was missing several varsity players who were on spring break with their families. Thus the home team was forced to play with members of the JV squad. Still, up until the final inning, the Tigers played a tight, spirited game.

Huron’s starting pitcher was sophomore Drew Enderle, whose father, Joe, is currently serving his country in Iraq. Enderle opened the game by allowing the first three Lakota batters to load the bases. But he quickly stifled the threat and allowed only a single run.

Offensively, Enderle helped his own cause by scoring on a Troy Delamatre double to tie the game at one. In the top of the second, the Tigers again got in trouble early, but were able to hold the damage to only one run.

In the bottom of the third, Enderle doubled, advanced on Delamatre’s

sacrifice fly, and then tied the game at two on a passed ball. Junior Ian Mccready picked up two RBIs on a base hit to center field that gave Huron a 4-2 lead. Then the next three innings became a pitchers dual between

Enderle and Hoffman of Lakota. Both pitched all seven innings and Drew

delivered seven strikeouts.

As Lakota came up to bat at the start of the final inning, their first two batters singled. A costly Huron error allows the Raiders to score and put men on first and third base with no outs.

A deep sacrifice fly brings in the tying run while advancing runners to second and third. And like a déjà vu moment, another sacrifice fly brings in the deciding run that gives the visitors a 5-4 win.

Coach Dustin Kastor said: “This was a tough loss. When leading in the final inning you expect to win. We made a few errors that really cost us in the end. Drew Enderle did a great job after the first inning keeping the Lakota hitters off balance and out of rhythm. Once again our gloves didn’t show up when we needed them most. (six errors) I saw a great deal of improvement at the plate and the players really worked Hoffman to deep counts and forced him to throw a lot of pitches. We will learn from this experience and continue to grow as a team.”

Senior Hayley Corso pitched an excellent game last week against an always tough NOL opponent from Bellevue. She gave up six hits and only one unintentional walk while mowing down 12 Redskin batters over seven innings of work. “Hayley threw a great game tonight.

She had solid defense behind her to get the key out when needed,” praised head coach Mike Everman.

The Tiger bats that were so silent recently in an 11 inning, 1-0 no-hit loss to Sandusky, certainly came alive against Bellevue. After three innings, Huron was up 3-0. Bellevue finally scored a run in the bottom of the fourth, but the Tigers responded with two more runs in the top of fifth to take complete control of the game.

The offense was led by shortstop Lauren Volz, who went 3 for 4, with two doubles, a single, a stolen base, two RBIs, and also scored two runs. Senior Melissa Moberg also scored two runs and added a stolen base. Renee St. Clair went 1 for 2 with a walk, but that single brought home two RBIs. Corso aided her own cause as well with an RBI and a sacrifice bunt.

“I told the girls we needed to be more aggressive at the plate and they were,” said Coach Everman. “We strung together some key hits at the right time. A few walks on their part and we took advantage of them. It was a good team win today.”

Ready, Set...

SPRING INTO Boys Varsity Baseball Rebuilding FITNESS!

The Huron Varsity baseball team recently opened their 2010 season by hosting Bellevue at Fabens Park.

After the first two innings, the game was scoreless. But in the top of the third, the visitors rattled off seven runs to blow the game open. At the end of five innings, the Tigers were defeated 10-0. The only hit for Huron came from catcher Joe Ramey.

The starting pitcher for the home team was Troy Delamatre, who was later relieved by Kyle Koehler.

young and inexperienced Tigers, who finished 2-22 last year, and its new head coach, Dustin Kastor. “We are looking to instill a positive attitude in our players. There are going to be games when our youth is apparent, but improving and learning from our mistakes will be a major point of emphasis this year. On the other hand, there will be games when we bring it together and play like I know we are capable of as a team,” said a hopeful Coach Kastor.

The team returns just six letter-

men, but there are some bright spots. Delamatre and Drew Enderle are sophomore pitchers who show promise. When one pitches, the other plays shortstop. The team captains are seniors Ramey and outfielder/pitcher Koehler. Junior Brandon Johnson is extremely versatile and can play well wherever he is needed, according to Kastor. Thus far, the team has been very coachable, with a positive attitude combined with a strong desire to win.

Health & Wellness Parkvue Nursing Director Becomes Wound Care Certified Sandusky – Sharon Dircks, Director of Nursing at Parkvue Health Care Center, has completed the required course work and passed the examination to become Wound Care Certified.

“Once again, Sharon has shown her commitment to the patients and residents of Parkvue by increasing her knowledge about effective wound care treatments,” said Parkvue Administrator Ken Keller. According to DIRCKS the Wound Care Education Institute, the Skin and Wound Management Course Dircks completed provides the highest quality wound care education possible, because the course work focuses on practical wound healing techniques and treatments.

Firelands Receives Trauma Verification Firelands Regional Medical Center has recently been verified as a Level III Trauma Center by the Verification Review Committee, an ad hoc committee of the Committee on Trauma of the American College of Surgeons. For the past year, Firelands Regional Medical Center operated as a full Level III trauma center under the provisional status, and became verified after successful completion of an onsite consultation/survey by the ACS. “This achievement reinforces the fact that Firelands Regional Medical Center is dedicated to providing optimal care for our emergency patients,” said Sheri Johnson, BSN, RN, Trauma Program Manager at Firelands. “Having a quality trauma program available to our local community is crucial considering that trauma is the leading cause of death among Americans under 44 years of age with the leading causes of trauma being motor vehicle accidents, falls, and assaults.”

To receive verification status, Firelands had to meet the essential criteria established by the American College of Surgeons’ Committee on Trauma’s Resources for Optimal Care of the Injured Patient manual. During an on-site review, the interviewers evaluated the emergency department, radiology, operating room, intensive care unit, blood bank, and rehabilitation department.

Firelands Level III Trauma Center is designed to serve the area communities that do not have immediate access to a Level I or Level II trauma center. There are four levels of trauma centers, with a Level III trauma center providing prompt assessment, resuscitation, emergency operations and stabilization of the trauma patient, as well as arranging for possible transfer to a facility that can provide a higher level of definitive trauma care, should the situation call for that. In addition, general surgeons are required to be in a Level III facility.

Fisher-Titus Unveils Walking Path To Get Residents Moving Norwalk – The American Heart Association and FisherTitus Medical Center called on Huron County residents to get involved in the Start! Walking nationwide program.

Local residents and members of the business community are encouraged to join the program, which began with an inauguration of the Fisher-Titus Start! Walking Path on April 7. Norwalk Mayor Sue Lesch will be on-hand to launch the event and invites area residents join the festivities in FTMC’s Patient Pavilion parking lot off Shady Lane Drive.

Fisher-Titus is partnering the American Heart Association’s Start! Program, a national initiative that champions walking because it has the lowest dropout rate of any physical activity. Fisher-Titus and AHA are working in conjunction with the Huron County Health Partners to roll

Angie Smith, assistant health commissioner for the Huron County General Health District, Dr. John M. Kovesdi of FTMC’s Industrial Health Clinic and Christine Cooke, American Heart Association Start! Heart Walk director, introduce the Start! Program to area businesses during a recent luncheon. The Huron County Start! community kickoff is scheduled for 6 p.m. April 7.

out the program countywide. The Huron County paths are among hundreds of Start! Walking Paths designated across the country. For a list of paths nationwide or to map a custom walking route in your neighborhood, visit www. startwalkingnow.org.

In January 2010, the American Heart Association defined the seven key factors to ideal cardiovascular health. Physical activity is one of those factors, but only 15 percent of American adults achieve the association’s recommended levels of moderate aerobic exercise (150 or more minutes per week). The Start! initiative encourages all Americans to get started on a regular walking program as a way to achieve their physical activity goals and to reduce their risk of cardiovascular disease by as much as 30 percent.

“Healthy lifestyle choices should be a community priority. Nearly 70 percent of adults in NW Ohio are overweight or obese and are at risk for heart complications from sedentary lives,” said Christine Cooke, AHA Start! Heart Walk director. “Exercising just 30 minutes a day can make a big difference in their cardiovascular health.”

3,432± sq. ft. in (2) Historic 2-story Cottages Connected on Lower Level

The connected lower level has a large kitchen area, and seating for as many as 150 diners. The upper levels have served as boarding rooms for seasonal employees. With the origin of both buildings dating back 100 years, there is no shortage of charm or nostalgia.

The property is located in the Chautauqua of Lakeside, Ohio on Lake Erie. Lakeside is a private community in northern Ohio on the shores of Lake Erie. It was formed in 1873 by members of the Methodist Church and remains a church-affiliated vacation resort. It is one of only a few continuously operating Independent Chautauquas that persist in the 21st century. It is located in Ottawa County’s Danbury Township, near the town of Marblehead.
