Norma Malone Cook Honored Sunday What began has an offer to “fill in” for the retiring organist at the Huron United Methodist Church, became a 40-year commitment for then 15-year-old Norma Malone. Last Sunday, the congregation of the Huron United Methodist Church honored Norma Malone Cook with a special presentation during the 10 o’clock service and

a reception attended by her family and friends afterward. In September 1969, faced with the retirement of the church organist, the Reverend Ross Carothers, asked Norma’s father, Charles Malone, if he thought Norma might serve as a substitute until the church council hired a new organist. Norma was a student of piano and organ, so her proud dad quickly volunteered her services. We’re not sure when this became a permanent job, but her service and dedication since that September day have rarely been matched, and the entire congregation appreciates what she has contributed to the outstanding musical foundation of the church.

The organ itself has been refurbished and expanded over the years, thanks to Norma’s expertise, and she has been known to get every available ounce of music out of that fantastic instrument – those who have attended her concerts will attest to that! Watching her hands fly across the keyboard, her feet tap from key to key at the base of the organ, and her head and body bouncing as she plays is something to behold. Thank you, Norma, for your dedication these last 40 years, and to the entire Malone family for all the wonderful music they have brought to our church and the rest of the community for an even longer period of time!

Fisher-Titus Medical Center is working collaboratively with the Huron County Health Department to help ensure that free H1N1 vaccines are available to as many high risk individuals as possible in Huron County. The hospital is providing additional doses to the Health Department for clinics from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Wednesday at Western Reserve Middle School; from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Thursday at New London High School; and from 7:30 to 11:30 a.m. Saturday at a Drive-thru Clinic at the Huron County Fairgrounds. The doses donated by FTMC were unused doses from those given to health-care workers at the Medical Center. The clinics will follow the Centers for Disease Control guidelines for offering the vaccines to priority groups, which include: Pregnant women, Young people six months to 24 years old, Those who live with or care for infants younger than six months old, People 64 years old or younger with an underlying medical condition, and Health-care or emergency medical service workers. Anyone attending Saturday’s drive-thru clinic must be over age 14 and in a priority group. Those attending are asked to pre-register to receive the vaccine at ww.h1n1vaccine.odh.ohio.gov and print and bring the form to the clinic. Pre-registering to receive vaccine does not guarantee vaccine, but may speed the wait at clinics. H1N1 vaccines are free. For more information, visit www. huroncohealth.com. Fisher-Titus also has a new Flu Forum on its Web site at www.ftmc.com where persons can ask questions and get answers from health-care professionals.

Cherie Spragg, FTMC’s vice president of nursing, gathers H1N1 doses from the Fisher-Titus Pharmacy to be used at local Flu Shot Clinics this week. FTMC donated its unused doses to the Huron County Health Department to help ensure the vaccines are available to area residents in CDC priority groups.

St. Peter’s Preschoolers Collect Candy for Troops A group of young Huron children found an answer to a parent’s common question – ‘What to do with all of the extra candy that kids collect while trick-or-treating on Halloween?’ The 3-year-old and 4-year-old students at St. Peter Catholic Preschool in Huron set aside a portion of their Halloween haul to donate to local troops who are fighting overseas. That ‘haul’ equated to more than 50 pounds of candy – from candy bars to suckers and other sugary treats. The kids brought their excess candy into school to be boxed up and shipped directly overseas. “This was a wonderful idea,” stated Linda Smith, principal at St. Peter School. “It helps teach the kids a great lesson about sharing – a characteristic we promote here at the school – and is a testament to the type of kids and parents that we have here at St. Pete’s.” Event coordinator Angie Edwards and several other parents partnered with Pat Pell, president of Blue Star Mothers of Cleveland Chapter 26, to help determine how and where to ship the 50-plus pounds of candy overseas. St. Peter School is a member of the Diocese of Toledo. St. Peter strives to offer a strong academic education in a Christcentered community that emphasizes Christian moral values. For more information about St. Peter Catholic School log on to www.huronstpeterschool.org or call 419-433-4640.

Milestones OBITUARY Paul Richard Matthes May 6, 1924-Nov. 18, 2009

Paul Richard Matthes, 85, passed away in his Huron home, Wednesday, Nov. 18, 2009, following a courageous battle with cancer, surrounded by his children and his hospice caregivers. Paul was born May 6, 1924, in Mansfield to Waldo and Marguerite (Dillon) Matthes. Upon his graduation from Mansfield Senior High in January 1943, he joined the U.S. Army. In a battle in France later that same year he was injured, earning a Purple Heart. The result of this injuring eventually took his sight. Paul never let his blindness define his life. He married Elaine Miller in 1947; they were married 51 years before her passing in 1998. Paul worked at Barnes Pumping in Mansfield for several years. After losing his job when the line moved to another area, Paul studied piano tuning. He tuned pianos in the Mansfield area for many years. He also restored player pianos, bringing many dilapidated pianos back to life. Paul had many hobbies. He enjoyed woodworking, building furniture and toys for his grandchildren,

wood carving and working with copper and tin. He loved music. He and Elaine loved to dance they were members of the Pandora Dance Club in Mansfield. He was a former member of the Masons, a member of American Legion Post 0083 and the Huron Eagles. He especially enjoyed playing his harmonica. He could be encouraged to jam with his lifelong friend, Earl Turner (dec.) to the delight of their families. Paul loved animals. He was close to his “seeing eye� dog, and raised quarter horses, enjoying the foals each year as well as riding. He loved to fish, a sport he shared with his children and grandchildren. You would always find a radio near Paul so he could keep tabs on all his sport teams, whether it was the Indians or Reds, Ohio State football or basketball, or the local high school teams he followed them all and loved to talk sports. He enjoyed life to the fullest, but nothing gave him more happiness than his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He shared many laughs with them as they told their stories and listened to his. Paul and Elaine lived many places, they had homes in Mansfield and Lexington, moving to Apple Valley-Mt. Vernon in 1977. They also had a home in Bonita Beach, Fla., they enjoyed six months a year. In 1991, they moved to Huron to be near family. He is survived by his son, Gregg (Carol) Matthes of Ber-

Church Chat

Rev. Roger’s Thanksgiving Reflections

I have a study upstairs at the church – “closer to heaven” – where I can get away and read. But I don’t get there every day – maybe a couple times a week. One day I opened the door and noticed things were awry … stuff from the tops of bookcases and window sills were knocked to the floor, and little pasty piles of white goo dotted the furniture. Pulling boxes away from the walls, I found peeking out from under the baseboard heater trying to keep warm and hide from me, a trembling baby Robin. With a paper towel I scooped him up and tossed him (or her – I didn’t ask) out the open window into the freedom of Huron skies. As I reflected upon this experience, I asked myself, “I know what the Robin is thankful for – freedom. But what is my thanks-giving? The answer - that it wasn’t a turkey that got loose in my office – that’s for sure!” So sometimes when we have a problem we can be grateful that we don’t have a bigger problem, but maybe the best way to look at life is through St. Paul’s eyes of faith when he writes “… Giving thanks to God the Father at all times and for everything in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.” (Ephesians 5:20) After the initially hard winters, getting on their feet with the help of the Native Americans, the Pilgrims forgot about Thanksgiving. It fell out of favor until the middle of the Civil War. So prosperity can make us take our blessings for granted. But it’s the hard times that lead us to prioritize, put first things first, and thank God for what we have. We can imbue every natural setback with a spiritual hope and expectation for a happy outcome with God by our side. We can climb into God’s spirit-filled balloon basket and rise above the fray, remembering to be thankful at all times and for everything. This gives the Holy Spirit wind the power to push away the dark storm clouds of doubt, despair, distress and fear of the unknown. In the face of such challenges, war and economic disaster, President Lincoln declared a day of thanks-giving for our nation, and one year later our spiritual ancestors, the evangelical Christians of Huron, Ohio, founded a new church at the corner of Shirley and Williams Streets. Should we have any less faith? It is healthy to give thanks – healthy for our spirits, attitudes, and interaction with others. Thanksgiving reminds us how blessed we are – not only materially, but especially spiritually. Thanksgiving reminds us of the source of our blessings and how much God loves us. Last week, 30 volunteers fed 45 hungry folks Thanksgiving dinner early at Christ Episcopal Church, blessed by all Huron city churches. Because Chris Hakeman caught a vision, barriers came down for many to work together, folks were fed not only the physical meal; but spiritually they feasted upon prayer, compassion, companionship, and the assurance that they are not alone – that God and his children care. When we give thanks we are reminded to share with others what the Lord has done for us. And it makes everything taste better when we are thankful. That way, we can keep Thanksgiving all year long. Have a blessed Thanksgiving season.

Health & Wellness Firelands Nurse Achieves CNOR Certification Firelands Regional Medical Center is pleased to announce that Jane Herold RN, CNOR recently earned the CNOR credential, a professional designation specifically designed for nurses whose practice emphasis is in providing nursing care in the surgical setting. Certification recognizes the professional achievement demonstrated when an individual nurse’s knowledge in the perioperative role exceeds that which is necessary for competency in practice. It indicates the attainment of a practice standard licensure and registration are based on minimum competence while certification denotes proficiency.

A graduate of Providence School of Nursing, Herold has been an employee at Firelands Regional Medical Center for 19 years and has more 13 years of nursing experience. She resides in Sandusky with her husband Marc and has two daughters. CNORs are valuable members of the health-care team. In 2005, the Competency & Credentialing Institute (CCI), the certifying body for operating room nurses, conducted research that showed certified nurses are more confident in their clinical abilities and have a strong commitment to quality patient care and continuing education. Results also supported the belief that patients were also more con-

fident in the care they receive from a certified nurse. In general, nurses highly value certification and often seek it to fulfill intrinsic rewards such as professionalism and accountability. Certification of operating room nurses is defined as the documented validation of the professional achievement of identified standards of practice by an individual registered nurse providing perioperative nursing care. CCI is the leading provider of certification for perioperative nurses, as well as a premier provider of competency assessment, and competency-based education to surgical healthcare professionals.

HURON HOMETOWN NEWS | Thursday, November 26, 2009

A Few Moments with ‌ Jesse Miedema You might say that Jesse had a pretty good Fall. First, she was chosen to be on the court at Huron’s Homecoming festivities. Then, she was named to the First team All State team as a hitter in volleyball. Next, her volleyball team – of which she is one of three captains – won the Division III State Championship. And last, but certainly not least, she signed a letter of intent to continue on her academic and athletic careers at Radford College in Virginia. Not bad ‌ not bad, at all.

REALTY, INC.

Scott Biechele “A house SOLD name!� (419) 627-1111

www.VacationlandRealty.com

Q: You have played on some good teams at Huron. Why did this particular team win the Division III state title? Jesse: I definitely believe this team was particularly successful because we had great chemistry and lots of talent. We had so many options to access the net and that’s vital when scoring against good teams. Q: What have you learned from Coach Wood that you will carry beyond Huron High School? Jesse: Patience. In volleyball, you can’t rush a play, you have to wait for the right opportunities and then make smart decisions. These lessons that he’s taught us also apply to life. Q: Why did you pick Radford out of the many choices I am guessing you had to continue on in your athletic career? Jesse: I really liked the coach and the mountainous location. They offered me (a scholarship) early, but I knew it was the right fit! Q: When you are not playing volleyball, what do you like to do? Does anything else give you same charge? Jesse: I like to listen to music, eat sushi and hang out with friends. And, nope! Being on the court is the only time I’m truly aggressive and competitive! Q: Are there any other extracurricular/community activities you participate in? Jesse: I am the student body vice-president, in National Honor Society, and participate in Teen Leadership Corp. (TLC).
