A Tiger Team Championship

Around Town Page 2 —————— Church Chat Page 3 —————— Library, Parks & Rec & Gardening

A Team Built during a Season of Lessons Opening the season with a five-set loss to conference rival Edison didn’t look like a good sign of things to come. Coach Don Wood and his team were looking for their 100th straight SBC win. Instead, the Tigers struggled, looking out of position at several critical points in the match. Now, with the 2009 Division III state title in hand (the third in 10 years), maybe it wasn’t

such a bad thing. Lessons often come in the guise of tough losses. About halfway through the season, Huron met the current reigning Division II champions, Padua. The Lady Tigers were swept away in three games. The important part of that loss, to this writer anyway, was that the Huron defense caught up with the speed and power of a true state contender during the second game. The tough, five-set matches against Edison (twice), Fairmont and Findlay prepared the team for overtime battles during the state tournament against two of Ohio’s finest in Archbold and Fenwick.

There were also major position changes that could have hurt the team’s chemistry if not handled correctly by the Huron coaching staff. Taryn Graham, one of the team’s leading hitters last year, was turned into a libero. Not just any libero, but maybe one of the finest defenders in the State. This stellar athlete finished the season with 1,046 digs for her career. “So far” – Coach Wood is quick to add, since she will be back next season. Setters Melissa Moberg and Devon Grendow replaced All State star Kelly Lehrer who graduated from last year’s team.

Festival Kicks Off with Light Tour Beginning the Friday after Thanksgiving – Nov. 27 – 32 area organizations will light their displays on the Holiday Tour of Lights along the Sawmill Creek Lodge Parkway, and auction off special items at the Ringing Swinging Silent Auction at the lodge that evening. A part of the 11th Annual Festival of Lights, everyone is invited to this event of fun, fellowship, food and a chance to

Page 4 —————— Schools

enter a silent bid on hundreds of donated items provided for a $5 admission. It is a great way to do some Christmas shopping, and all proceeds earned by these organizations during this evening and from the Santa Claus House on the Tour of Lights will be used to fund various area activities and charitable projects. Looking for an unusual, but historical lawn or home adornment? The Huron Bicentennial Committee is offering the exact replica of Huron’s second lighthouse (seen on the Bicentennial Float) in the Ringing Swinging Silent Auction held during the festival. Built by Huron’s own, Dick Durkin, the lighthouse stands 8 feet high and 6 ½ feet in diameter, and comes with a rotating beacon.

The Bicentennial Committee, just one of the 32 organizations that are part of this event, will also offer several items celebrating Huron’s history, including DVDs, books and prints. The renowned Bicentennial Float, decorated for the holidays, will be part of the lighted displays along the Sawmill Tour of Lights. This will be its last appearance as a symbol of the bicentennial year. The Huron Bicentennial Committee will offer the float, as well as the replica of Huron’s second lighthouse, as part of the silent auction. If it is not sold that evening, the float will be placed on “eBay” for sale after the New Year. Raffle tickets are now on sale for $10 at the Chamber of Commerce office and from charitable groups in town. The grand prize of the raffle is a seven-night Caribbean Cruise, with $500 for second prize and $300 as a third prize. Tickets will be drawn the night of the silent auction event.

Around Town LETTER TO THE EDITOR I would like to thank the Citizens of Huron for the opportunity to continue serving. I will try my hardest to make the best decisions for the good of this great city. I look forward to working with our new council members. It was great to see such interest by all candidates. I encourage their involvement to continue, perhaps on city boards. Thanks again for your support. Sincerely, Sam Artino Huron City Councilman

Slow Down in School Zones BY JUDGE BILL STEUK, HURON MUNICIPAL COURT As schools are now in session, you will see flashing school zone signs near our area schools. Ohio Revised Code Section 4511.21 (B) requires school zone speed limits to be 20 miles per hour during school recesses; while children are going to or from school during the opening or closing hours; and wherever the twenty 20-mile-per-hour school zone speed limit signs are erected. Please note that the law does not require school zones to be identified by signs equipped with flashing or any other lights, nor does special notice of the hours in which the school zone speed limit is in effect have to be given. Drivers should be particularly cautious within or near school zones because children are likely to be present. Ohio Department of Transportation studies show that in the last four years, 1,300 crashes, including two fatalities, have occurred in school zones. Additionally, more than 500 students and adults have been injured in school zone accidents from 2005 through 2008. We all need to be cautious drivers, pay particular attention in school areas, and slow down within school zones. 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.

EHOVE Beauty Shop, Restaurant to Close for Orientation EHOVE Career Center’s beauty salon and Young Chef Inn restaurant will be closed Dec. 1, 2 and 3 for sophomore hands-on visits.

During sophomore orientation, about 1,300 high school sophomores from Erie, Huron and Ottawa counties will experience career technical education first-hand with their half-day visit to EHOVE Career Center. Orientation includes an evening Open House for students/prospective students and parents from 4:30 to 7 p.m. on Thursday, Dec. 3. The schedule is as follows: Dec. 1 – Danbury; Edison; Huron St. Mary; Norwalk

Boy Scouts Host Jewelry artist hosts open house Spaghetti Dinner A local jewelry artist is opening her home studio to the public to view her artwork. Diane Chevalier is inviting the public to browse Tesserae Design from Nov. 14 through Dec. 30. For an appointment call 419-433-5143. Tesserae Design was born in the spring of 2000 from Huron resident Chevalier’s desire to take a few steps back from the digitalization of art. As a graphic artist, Chevalier felt that the computer was taking away the satisfaction of creating art with her hands, and what began with simple, singlestrand stretch bracelets evolved into an extended line of jewelry and accessories. Although jewelry is Chevalier’s primary focus, she displays her mixed media artwork in local galleries and fine art shows. She also teaches classes and provides private instruction so that she can share her passion for art with others. Each of Chevalier’s pieces is individually designed using glass beads, natural stones, semiprecious gems, metals, and found objects from both man and nature. Growth and change are her hallmarks; she continually searches out new methods of creativity evidenced by her teaming up with her daughter Tessann Brewster in the creation of the “Erie Rose� Adirondack chair for Huron’s Bicentennial public art project.

A non-profit organization that assists families with supervised visitations has received funding to help with the cause. Kinship Incorporated has announced that it received $20,000 from the Sam S. and Rose Stein Foundation and $10,000 from the Frost-Parker Foundation. Kinship plans to use the grant dollars to help with visitation services for children who need to continue their relationship with their non-custodial parents, but the funding for those families is unavailable. Kinship Incorporated is a non-profit agency located in the Erie Metro Parks that provides a safe, neutral, home-like environment for supervised visitation and exchange of children and their non-custodial parents. Most of the children participating in the program have experienced some sort of trauma stemming from such situations as divorce, separation, child abuse, neglect or witness to domestic violence. Anyone interested in sponsoring a family can send a tax deductible donation to KinShip House at 3920 Perkins Ave., Huron, 44839-1059. All donations will go to help families pay for weekly visitations or exchange services.

Church Chat

Church Hosts Interactive Christmas Program New Life Church will once again host its Search for the Christ Child presentation for family and friends to enjoy an evening of fun, fellowship, and adventure as they become a part of the Christmas Story. The church invites everyone to travel back in time to a year when the Roman Empire ruled and the Prince of Peace was born in a small town called Bethlehem. The Church first hosted the presentation in 1995, but it was suspended in 2004. The community is invited to be of the interactive walk, experiencing what it was like more than 2000 years ago when Jesus Christ was born. Shepherds will guide participants on a 20-minute walking tour

through Bethlehem, where they will encounter angels, innkeepers, King Herod, Wisemen and more. The tour will go through the busy marketplace where the atmosphere of the time comes alive with Roman soldiers, animals, dancers and vendors. Tour-goers will also encounter the serenity and peace of the Holy Family surrounded by angels and music. This free presentation will be hosted at New Life Church, 6511 Milan Road, just south of Bogart Road on Route 250. Continuous walking tours will be held on Saturday, Dec. 5 from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. and Sunday, Dec. 6, from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m.

Gardening

Be Frugal, Look for Tree Seeds MARY STRAYER, MASTER GARDENER Fall is winding down now here in northern Ohio, and while walking through leaves in parks – and yes, even in my own yard – I discovered seeds for various trees. Consider picking up a few and using them to try and start new trees for next year’s garden. Starting seeds for trees is an exciting adventure, and can be really rewarding. It can save you money in the long run and you or even perhaps your grandchildren will have fun watching the seeds grow. Many woody seeds (tree and shrub seeds) are dormant when you find them on the ground, or even still attached to the tree. Some must take in water to begin the germination process, and some seeds actually have built-in methods for the process. Trees and shrubs do this as a survival method, meaning they have an

internal process that allows the seed to germinate when growing conditions are right for the seed to survive. Not all seeds germinate the same year. If the seed has a very hard surface, you may need to scarify the seed, thus begin breaking down the hard coating to allow water and oxygen into the seed to begin the germination process. This is done in nature by the seed falling and hitting the ground, and with the freeze and thaw process of the winter. Some seeds on the other hand have to be out in the cold winter weather to know when to start the germination process in the spring. Red Horse Chestnut is a tree that I have seen grown successfully and easy in our area. Simply pick up the seeds, keep them cold all winter, and plant them come spring where they can grow. They usually grow a foot or a bit more in one season. To find out information about individual types of seeds, check the Ohio State University Factline for full detail. Just type OSU Fact Sheets into your internet browser and you can locate specific information. Happy Gardening!

State Semi-final: Huron defeats Middletown Fenwick 25-22, 15-25, 24-26, 25-21, 15-10

The Nutter Center, on the campus of Wright State University, is the home of Ohio’s Volleyball State Championships. It is a large and loud venue. And the students from Huron – dressed up in their finest Halloween costumes – made themselves heard. At the beginning of each big match, Coach Wood allows his team to get a look at their supporters so they can focus on the task at hand instead of letting their minds drift to the often outlandish outfits during the match. Wood said he was not surprised by how good Fenwick was because he had been voting them as the No. 1 team in the Division all season long. Even though Huron took the first game (25-22), the team looked sluggish – possibly nerves from the stage they were now on. Fenwick must have felt the same way, because they had to call time out after several of their own miss hits that gave Huron a 16-12 lead. At 22-21, Grendow tapped over a perfect shot that propelled her team to that first win. During game two, while Huron still struggled, the team from Middletown overcame their jitters by bursting out to a 22-11 lead and eventually a 25-15 win. The Fenwick coached commented after the match how his team tried to keep Huron out of their system and back on their heels. The Tiger’s Coach

up at two games a piece. The Tigers don’t have a star, they have a leader ‌ and her name is Jesse Miedema. Her enthusiasm for the game of volleyball and her teammates is contagious. Coach Wood instructed his hitters to attack down the line more, and Miedema along with Taylor Slauterbeck answered their head coach’s call. In the final set, Jesse scored Huron’s first three points with kills for a 3-2 lead. Then it was the Slauterbeck’s turn. The junior, who is as responsible for Huron’s success this year as anyone else, rattled off four big kill shots to give the Tigers their final lead of the match (9-7) and force Bishop Fenwick to call time. Huron would never trail again. Out of the break, the Tigers were focused on defense and Jesse would add three more kills to lead her team to the Championship game.

Day Two – The Champion Tigers Division III State Championship: Huron defeats Frankfort Adena 25-17, 25-21, 25-21

Frankfort Adena (26-2) won their way to the finals by taking down Smithville in four games, including a wonderful comeback during the third set that left Smithville in a daze during the final game. Outwardly excited as they first charged onto the floor, the Tigers demeanor during warm-ups had a confidence to it. Lined up for their final match of the year, each girl turned to her right and whispered to the teammate next to her, “Our time is now.� How prophetic they were. Game one started even up until 6-6. At this point, Huron went on a 13-6 run. When Erin O’Reilly hit a kill to give her team a 19-12, Adena was forced to take time out. Out of the break, Devon Koenig promptly hit her own kill, 20-12. At game point, with Devon Grendow serving, Taylor Slauterbeck hit the game winning shot for a 25-17 win. During the second set, Adena shot out to an 8-3 lead. Huron called time, but the girls never panicked. Three more kills by Slauterbeck started the Tigers on their march back into the match. The game remained even up until 18-17, when Devon Koenig’s perfectly placed drop shot fell to the floor, starting Huron on a 7-4 run. Game two came to a close when Devon Grendow and Katlyn Sommer blocked an attack by Kirsti Yates for the 25-21 Huron win. The Lady Tigers roared out to a 9-2 lead to open the final set of the 2009 season. Four of the first nine points were kills by Miedema. However, Adena would not go away. Led by Kelsey Bielanow’s 21 kills, they fought their way back to a 16-16 tie. Another Miedema kill, a Moberg ace, a block by Sommer and O’Reilly, and another Moberg ace, put the Tigers up for good at 21-16. A Katlyn Sommer ace put the Tigers on the brink of victory and an errant Adena serve kicked off the celebration. The girls shrieked and hugged each other in the middle of the floor. After the presentation of the medals and trophy, the girls ran over to their classmates to share the celebration with them. Just as on Saturday, what made the Tigers so tough to defend all season long was their balance. Miedema (12 kills), Slauterbeck (11 kills), and Koenig (7 kills) led the way on offense. Moberg and Grendow combined for 32 assists. Taryn Graham Wood stated later that “We were fortunate to be 1-1 at that had 28 digs while Taylor Slauterbeck added 12 of her own. “I couldn’t be any more pleased with this group of kids,� said point.� Middletown Fenwick won a tough fought game three 26-24. Coach Don Wood after the match. Certainly, the city of HuBut it was during this game where momentum began to turn ron feels the same way. Huron’s way. The Tigers, urged on by the coach, did not panic – even now down 2-1 – on the largest stage that many of these girls will ever play on. He stressed patience and was feeling better about his team’s chances. Huron could have blown it here and maybe a lesser team with just a star player or two would have tried to force the action. But not this Huron team. The third game would be the last one the Tigers would lose the rest of the weekend. Game four saw 11 ties and seven lead changes, the most of the match. With Fenwick jumping out 2-0, senior Jesse Miedema hit a kill shot. Then Captain Melissa Moberg took the ball. She served an ace followed by two more points on kills by Sommer and Miedema, 4-2. Middletown’s Alyssa Beck was impressive with a match leading 23 kills. Her attacks made her team an imposing force despite the Tiger’s building balanced attack. Huron would score, Fenwick would tie the score. On it went until a kill, down the middle, by Devon Koenig gave Huron a 19-17 lead. Fenwick called timeout. The Lady Tigers never allowed the Falcons to get any closer. A Katlyn Sommer drop over the net, set up by Devon Grendow, tied the match
