It was a perfect fall day for fishing as over 250 anglers made up a full field of 80 teams in the October 8th Fish Huron Ohio Walleye Challenge Tournament that paid out over $20,000 in prize money.

There were 280 walleye brought to the scales weighing 1,710 pounds with an incredible average weight of over 6 pounds per walleye.

The winning team was captained

by Chad Shilling from Baltic, OH with partners Jimmy Whitehair and Jason Schatzel from Dundee, OH. They had an incredible weight of 46.95 pounds for their tournament limit of 5 walleye, anchored by a 12.05 pound monster, to win the 2011 FHO Walleye Challenge presented by South Shore Marine and Pursuit Boats.

Five teams had weights over 40 pounds for their 5 fish tournament limit with another 4 teams weighing over 39 pounds. It took 37.75 pounds to get in the money at 11th place. The overall biggest walleye was a 12.31 pound trophy caught

by Shawn Ritchie’s team to win the Big Fish award presented by Marine Max and Mako Boats. Complete tournament results can be found at www.fishhuronohio.com.

Many were surprised by the fantastic catches especially with all of the green algae in the area. Teams

Candidates Night Thursday, Nov. 3

Around Town Event to Benefit Acute Inpatient Rehabilitation Salute! The Foundation for Firelands will be raising a glass to improving the health and mobility of rehabilitation patients with a benefit for the Acute Inpatient Rehabilitation Unit at Firelands Regional Medical Center. This afternoon of fine wines and Sortino’s famous Italian cuisine will be held on Sunday, November 6 from 1 – 4 pm at Sortino’s Little Italy Ristorante, 1220 Sycamore Line, Sandusky.

Every year thousands of people undergo major operations because they are involved in severe car accidents; or they have bad falls; or they suffer illnesses such as stroke, cancer or M.S. The one thing all of these people have in common is they have to re-learn how to use their bodies. The Acute Inpatient Rehabilitation Unit at Firelands Regional Medical Center offers a number of specialized rehabilitation therapies designed to address specific diagnoses and address specific patient needs. The Rehabilitation Unit at Firelands is ranked as one of the best programs in the country. In fact, Firelands was rated as one of the nation’s top 100 facilities based on its excellent ratings for patient outcomes and quality of care.

George Sortino noted, “It is our profound honor, on behalf of my brother

Jim and our family to have the privilege to be involved with this extravaganza. The amount of support we provide cannot compare to the support a patient needs as they encounter the physical, mental, and emotional stress, just to recover some aspect of their former life.”

Salute! is an open house style event which allows you and your friends to enjoy and discover new wines and indulge in gourmet appetizers artfully prepared by the restaurant’s owners George and Jim Sortino.

A silent auction will feature items such as gift certificates for Sortino’s Little Italy Ristorante, hand-painted crystal wine glasses, and wine and food-related items sure to please any epicurean. You can even buy your favorite Adler Fels wines after you taste them at the event.

The cost for the event is $60 per person or $110 per couple, which includes wine tastings, heavy appetizers, and a tax-deductible contribution supporting the Acute Inpatient Rehabilitation Unit at Firelands Regional Medical Center. A limited number of tickets are available.

To make your reservation or for more information, call The Foundation for Firelands at 419-557-7152.

Trick or Treat our Troops St. Peter’s School is sponsoring its Third Annual Trick or Treat for our Troops.

Last year, over 110 pounds of candy was collected. We are hoping to set a new record.

Do you love watching your kids dress up for Halloween, but dread the amount of candy that comes home. If your answer is yes, please consider donating a portion of your kids’ Halloween candy to the Armed

Forces. You may add a personal note, or card, or draw a picture for the care packages. The soldiers are also in need of personal hygiene items (lip balm, toothpaste, toothbrushes, soap, etc), powdered drink mixes, and pocket packs of tissues. Donations can be dropped off at the school through Monday, November 7. Any questions, please contact the school 419 433-4640.

Craft Fest Enjoys Success Spectacular fall weather on Saturday, Oct. 8 created the perfect backdrop for a new event tradition here in Huron. More than 300 fishermen turned out for the 3rd annual FishHuronOhio Walleye Challenge and hundreds of shoppers came to the boat basin grounds in search of a huge variety of craft items showcased at the Chamber of Commerce’s first annual Huron River Craft Fest.

Chamber members manned a snack bar and small gift shop stocked with Huron

memorabilia. Board member Grant Cornell served some of his store’s gourmet coffee, fresh-squeezed cider and doughnuts to the hungry shoppers Vendor Tom Steinmetz carried out the fishing theme, serving hundreds of his famous perch sandwiches.

The fishermen went home with prize money and lots of tall stories about the one that got away and the shoppers carried home lots of unique treasures.

In partnership with the Huron Chamber of Commerce the Huron Public Library is hosting a Candidates Night on Thursday, November 3 at 6:30 PM. Candidates running for seats on City Council, the Board of Education, and Township government have been invited to share their vision with the community and field questions from voters.

The event will be conducted under the guidelines of the League of Women Voters, a nonpartisanship method to ensure an unbiased forum that will be both informa-

tive to voters and fair to each candidate.

Please join us on November 3 for an informative dialog with the candidates. Candidates and their supporters are welcome to distribute campaign material after the meeting. Materials may not be distributed before or during the meeting, nor may campaign paraphernalia be worn by anyone attending the meeting.

For more information, contact the Huron Public Library at 419-433-5009 or visit us on the web at www.huronlibrary.org.

Nick Shamhart releases novel Rapid changes in book publishing give readers and writers more options Author Nick Shamhart released the first novel “Grey” of his new paranormal fantasy series this week. It is available on Amazon’s Kindle, Barnes & Noble’s Nook, Apple’s IBookstore, and Sony Reader.

After months of talks with the publishing industry the author turned down an offer of conventional publication in favor of publishing his work in an eBook. This allowed Nick more autonomy and responsibility with his work. He designed his own cover art and enlisted private editors.

There are many changes occurring within and more on the horizon for the publishing world. It can be difficult for a new artist to break into any medium. The changes that have piggybacked onto the advent of the internet, with social media leading the charge, have allowed budding artists to take the initiative and strike out on their own. With the literary industries heavyweights Stephen King recently releasing an

eBook only story and Amazon hiring their own authors in an attempt to “cut out the middlemen” - the publishing house - those changes are happening fast.

Nick wanted to be on the cusp of these changes by considering the environmental and economic advantages that eBooks provide the public. He priced his work at a dollar and ninety-nine cents. After the distributors take their percentage, he will see the same profits he would have if he had signed with a publisher, without charging the reader more.

Nick Shamhart lived in Huron for the bulk of his youth and graduated from Huron High School in 1998.

Nick Shamhart launched his online writing career with a social media campaign that includes his website Nickshamhart. com where readers can contact him with questions, comments, or find information on up and coming releases.

Firelands Symphony

Where should you go for the best in orthopedic and spinal surgery?

The Firelands Symphony Orchestra welcomes the ReedWorks Sax Quartet to the Sandusky State Theatre for an ensemble-only concert at 7 p.m. Nov. 13. Since 1988, this impressive ensemble of tenor, alto, baritone and soprano saxophones has entertained audiences with musical finesse and sensitivity, covering a wide range of music styles.

Equally at home with music from the Baroque to present day, this group performs great transcriptions of the “classics” and many new arrangements and original compositions. The audience may hear anything from the Muppet Show theme, to “Flight of the Bumble Bee,” to the Glenn Miller big band classic “In the Mood.” The quartet changes up its harmonic combinations with clarinets and flutes.

Tickets available at the Sandusky State Theatre Box Office at 419-626-1950 or toll free at 1-877-626-1950 and Sanduskystate.com or www.firelandssymphony.com.

Sandusky Sites Open to Collect Gift-Filled Shoe Boxes VOLUNTEERS WORKING TO COLLECT 1,500 GIFTS FOR NEEDY KIDS THIS CHRISTMAS While many Sandusky families are busy with holiday activities, a group of local volunteers is focused on filling empty shoe boxes with school supplies, toys, hygiene items and notes of encouragement for needy kids overseas.

Sandusky families are participating in the world’s largest Christmas project of its kind-Operation Christmas Childan effort that has hand-delivered 86 million gifts to kids worldwide since 1993.

This year-round project of Samaritan’s Purse is coming to its peak, as local businesses, churches and schools prepare to collect gift-filled shoe boxes during National Collection Week, Nov. 14-21. Volunteers can drop off their shoe box gifts at one of ten bustling locations in the area to help kids in 100 countries know they are loved and not forgotten.

GARDENING WITH MARY

mulch on your perennial gardens, and even be blown onto your now dead veggie garden, and then tilled in for fertilizer for next year’s garden. Leaves on the perennial garden, and even on other plants that do not like cold feet, like clematis, will help keep the wet and cold off and help the plants from heaving when the weather temperatures change drastically during the winter months.

MARY STRAYER, MASTER GARDENER

WHAT TO DO WITH ALL THOSE LEAVES Getting your lawn ready for winter is always fun. People need to know if we cut it long or short, and especially is there anything special we can do with the leaves.

First of all, never remove more than 1/4 of the grass’s height in any one mowing.

Grass does go better into dormancy in the winter if cut short. Begin mowing a little shorter each time, until the grass is only 1” tall the last mowing.

You may fertilize your grass if has now been snowing as late as Nov. 15. Use a fertilizer low in nitrogen and higher in phosphate and potassium. If it is already too late to do this, just wait until spring, and reverse the listing. The lawn needs the nitrogen first thing, with a small number of the other two ingredients. If you have clippings all season from the lawn, leave them on the lawn, unless of course mowing was put off for some reason, and you get clumps. Rake or otherwise remove clumped grass from the lawn surface.

In late fall, as the leaves pile up on the lawn, some of course can be mowed over as long as the leaves shred up while being mowed. If not the leaves can be used for

Sports Huron 8th Grade Football Ends Season Unbeaten; SBC Champions The Huron 8th Grade football team ended their season undefeated (7-0) and SBC Champions with a 24-8 victory over the Port Clinton Redskins.

In a game plagued by high winds and heavy rain, the Tigers kept the ball on the ground for the duration of the contest. The Tiger backfield of Grant Ferrell and Cody Myers each carried the ball thirteen times gaining 112 and 144 yards respectively.

After struggling to move the football on their first few drives, Kyle Kovach sneaked into the end zone from a yard out. Grant Ferrell added the two point conversion and the Tigers had a 8-0 lead.

In the second quarter, Cody Myers set up the second Huron touchdown when he broke a tackle in the backfield and rumbled 18 yards to the four yard line. Ferrell slipped into the end zone from four yards out (behind the lead blocking of Cody Myers) on the next play and after another 2 point Ferrell run, the Tigers had a 16-0 lead which they took into halftime.

Keeping the scoring drive alive was a key 18 yard reception on third down by wideout Will Springer.

“That was really big for us,” said coach Adam Steinmetz, “it was really cold, and pouring rain, but we needed some big

yards and knew Will would pull it in.”

In the third quarter, Dean Dickirson added an 18 yard scoring scamper, his only rush in the game. Brant Stieber reeled in Kyle Kovach’s 2 point conversion pass and the Tigers had a 24-0 lead. Dickirson’s touchdown run was set with sweep by Nic Smercina who simply ran over a Port Clinton defender en route to a 35 yard gain.

“If you want to be successful in football, you have to have a good offensive line,” said Head Coach Chris Folger, “Salsa (Tyler Sasala), Tommy, (Tommy King), Burly (Nathan Burlovich), Magic Man (Chase Mosijowsky), Mikey (Mike Huddleston),

those starting five up front are so good. We try to acknowledge them, but I don’t know if we can enough.”

Scads of Huron defenders got into the action on defense led by defensive back Logan Weber who picked off a Port Clinton pass early in the first quarter and defensive end Nic Swope who caused a fumble. Kevin Staphanian added seven tackles.

Huron ended the season 7-0 and SBC Champions.

“It was great season, but I’m most proud with the way these young men have handled themselves all season,” Folger added.

Huron High School’s Top Runner Advances to Regionals HHS Sophomore Kevin Tomczyk knows how to over- Come on out and cheer Kevin on at the Regional Meet in come adversity. He’s been doing it all year. Lead run- Tiffin on Saturday! ner for the Men’s Cross Country team all season, he is the only one who has earned a spot in the Regional race next week at Tiffin. It seemed like a fight before the race even began. XC times all over the Ohio regions have been slower due to the saturated ground this fall. The Tigers competed in Ottawa Hills for the District meet this year, an unfamiliar course, and a 2 hour bus ride away. On top of that, the heavy rain this past week flooded the competition course, leading to the last minute postponement of the meet from Saturday to Sunday afternoon. Both men’s and women’s teams have been riddled with illnesses and ailments this fall, creating an ever changing Varsity roster on the women’s side, and some unfinished races on the men’s side. While the rest of the Tigers battled it out in the mud to close out their season, Kevin showed his mental toughness, outsprinting his competition at the very end of the race to earn the last spot out to Regionals (16th).

It’s the same toughness he’s displayed in practice and races all year, despite balancing XC with his spot on the Drum Line for the Marching Band.

That is the kind of dedication that could catapult him to State. Way to go, Kevin! Good Luck at Regionals! Never give up. Look for ever improving Sophomore runner Brennan Cockrell (51st) to join him next season, as he put in a tough race at Districts as well, along with his Freshman teammate Sean Martin (83rd). Other finishes by the men included Junior Stephen Tomczyk (103rd) and Sophomore Will Koenig (111th).

The girls team was missing a lot of their competitive heart on Sunday due to injury and illness, but still showed up to run. Leading the women for the Tiger’s was Junior Kayla Hamilton (26th), followed by Sophomore Katy Evers (46th), Senior Kelsey Koehler (54th), Senior Maureen Giardina (58th), Juniors Alex Wisehart (59th) and Chloe Greenawalt (60th), and Freshman Sammy Hebert (68th). This young team Photo by Chris Mischler shows a lot of potential for next year, and both Seniors (Maureen and Kelsey) will be missed! Kevin Tomczyk at the SBC Championships this fall

The Amazing Kreskin at Sandusky State Theatre Nov. 5 The Sandusky State Theatre presents The Amazing Kreskin, Saturday, November 5th at 7:30 pm, tickets are $15.00 - $50.00 per person.

With a showman’s flair, a comedian’s wit, and the capacities of a bona fide Mentalist or thought reader, The Amazing Kreskin has, for some six decades, dramatized the unique facets of the human mind…his own. His very name has become an integral part of pop culture throughout the world, invoked in comedy clubs, comic strips, print stories, and TV shows from sitcoms on through national magazines.

Born in Montclair, New Jersey, it was during the childhood game “hot and cold” that Kreskin’s remarkable ability to find hidden objects emerged. His ability to read thoughts expanded, and by his teens he also became nationally recognized in the United States as “The World’s Youngest Hypnotist”, resulting in his collaborating in psychological clinical studies extending into the realm of Parapsychology and the Power of Suggestion. By his late teens, this icon of thought transference developed a mental test that has become the highlight of his performances all over the world.

This signature piece has Kreskin requesting that his check be hidden somewhere within the venue he is appearing. If he fails to find it, he will forfeit his fee.

The Amazing Kreskin has also become a training consultant to law enforcement

and security personnel throughout the western world in the development in their own powers of observation and intuitive skills. Kreskin continues to offer “$50,000 to anybody that can prove that he employs paid secret assistants or confederates in any phase of his program”. It is an offer that he has held for many, many years.

Finally, through the years, Kreskin has received international recognition for extraordinary predictions often dealing with world affairs. Regarding the US Presidential Election in 2008, he logged the results with a written statement made 11 months earlier, on December 6, 2007. In the year 2008 on FOX Business News, he predicted the results of the Super Bowl three days before the game.

A few years earlier in Canada, one month before a national election, he predicted the re-election of Prime Minister Martin, and named the exact amount of seats he would carry. On the day after the election, on National Canadian Television, he reflected that the government could collapse in 14 months. He was off by 5 days. He has been called by many the Nostradamus of the twentieth century.

Order tickets in person at The Sandusky State Theatre, 107 Columbus Avenue, Sandusky, OH, via phone 419-626-1950 or 877626-1950 or online at www.sanduskystate. com.
