Huron Rotary Honors Roger Markin

The Huron Rotary honored long time member, Roger Markin, for his 42 years of service and over 30 years of leading the club in song. Roger, also a past president of the club, joined Rota-ry in 1967 and began his career as the song leader some years later. Roger, who has graced the area with song for over 40 years, and his wife, Barbara, raised 4 daughters in Huron after mov-ing here from the Toledo area. When he was asked about his years of service he commented that the camaraderie of the Huron Rotary is why he is still so active. If you should have the pleasure of hearing Roger sing, you will then understand that he is the Bard of Hu-ron Rotary.Pictured, Bill Scott, Carol (Markin) Scott, Roger

Ohio Law requires all business entities, including but not limited to corporations, limited liability companies, and non-profi t corporations, to appoint and maintain a Statutory Agent. A Statutory Agent is a representative of the business entity who

receives legal documents. This includes receiving a lawsuit fi led against the business entity. A Statutory Agent can be served a copy of the lawsuit and summons. A Statutory Agent may be a natural person who is a resident of Ohio or it can be a domestic corporation or a foreign corporation holding a license under Ohio Law. Statutory Agents for a business entity must be registered with the Ohio Secretary

of State. The Agent’s name and address (not a P.O. Box address) must be fi led with the Secretary of State. One function of the Secretary of State is to keep track of all registered

Statutory Agents. If you have internet capabilities and know the

name of the business entity you are researching, it is easy to fi nd out the name and address of the Statutory Agent. Go to the Ohio Secretary of State’s website at www.sos.state.oh.us/. On the left column, click on “Business Filings”. On the next screen, click on “Search Filings” on the left column. On the next screen, click on “Business Name” and then type the business name. Once you do this, the entity will be displayed and you can click on “Agent/Contact Info” to get the information on the agent. Other information is available, including whether the entity is still in existence. In many instances, you can click on scan fi lings the entity has fi led with the Secretary of State. This is the easiest way to get information in regards to a business entity you desire to research. You can also call the Ohio Secretary of State’s offi ce at 1-877-767-3453 to obtain this information. Be advised that it is sometimes diffi cult to get through to Secretary of State’s offi ce due to the number of calls it receives.

Articles appearing in this column are intended to provide broad, general information about the law. Before applying this information to a specifi c legal problem, readers are urged to seek advice from an attorney.

Oddball Olympics Coming SoonOn Thursday, April 9, students at Huron High actually

began their spring break a few hours early. It was Oddball Olympics time again, that annual rite of spring in which teams from each class vie against one another in a series of competitions that can best described as zany.

Who ever heard of such sissy games like the four person push up? Or the cart race? Or the hula hoop race? Whatever happened to the days of the really rugged, he-man games like the sack race, the three legged race, the softball toss, or squop-ping or blitzing at Tiddley Winks? Gone! All gone!

Now days, these other crazy games are all designed just to be riotous fun, mixing up the sexes in fi erce inter-class com-petition, and in general relieving the tensions built over a full semester of hard work since mid-January. Ordinarily a good snowball fi ght on a snow day would accomplish the same re-sult, but these days with global warming, kids can’t be sure of any free days. Hence, Oddball Olympics.

Now, in honor of the Huron Bicentennial being celebrated this summer, it has been decided that the entire community will share in the fun by engaging in its own community-wide Oddball Olympics in August. Imagine the whole town gathering on a Sunday afternoon to view the competitions between various sections of town, with each neighborhood fi elding its own team, and all vying for a trophy, ribbons, tee shirts, and Donut Shop bragging rights! A committee of ex-perienced sportsmen has been meeting since January work-ing out the details of how to divide the community equitably,

what games to use, and where to hold the events. In future issues we will be gradually revealing all the details, so be sure to watch here. We see this event turning into an annual rite of late summer frivolity in Huron, with a trophy being award-ed annually to the conquering Huron neighborhood whose brave gladiators shall have dominated the fi eld.

Stay tuned to see how you and your friends can organize to participate in these games and preserve your neighborhood’s honor. This summer let us resolve to begin our town’s third century with EVERYONE in Huron for at least one day be-coming an oddball!

The reading and book signing will be followed by an Open-Mic reading. The event will be held in the Cedar Point Center, Room 1009.

GardeningStructure in the Garden: Go Vertical!

MARY STRAYER, MASTER GARDENER

Lately, people have been asking me about vines and want to know if there ones that are fun, or come back year after year. To answer that question, I would like to introduce you all the Scarlet Runner Bean, Phaseolus coccineus. The hum-ming birds love it because it is bright red, with brilliant trusses of bloom, plus it produces edible pods as well. Grow this vine in your landscape where it will show off, and give it space to grow. The beans are produced in the summer, and if you stop picking and eating by late August and let the pods dry out, you will have seed pods for a crop for next year. Dry and save the seeds in a cool place, and you can do this over and over for years. I have personally grown this vine for 17 years, and the

photo is of my garden. One nice thing about the vine is that it is annual, and if you don’t like it, you don’t have to fi ght to get rid of it next year. It dies with the fi rst killer frost.

Now as long as we are all working faithfully with grow-ing bicentennial colored plants, you could plant Lace Vine, or Autumn Clematis “Sweet Autumn”. These can be found locally, grow to 15’ or more on supported trellis’s, etc. Both of these white blooming vines are perennial, and come back year after year. You prune the Clematis to 1-2’ each year in early spring as leaf buds begin to show, removing all dead stems above new growth.

This year, I plan to plant morning glories ‘Picote’ which is bright dark blue with the Scarlet runner bean vine, to carry out the color scheme. Picote is about 3” across, grows

to 10’, and is the truest blue I have found in morning glories. Both vines remember are an-nual, and will die with the fi rst hard frost.

There are other vines which you could choose from, so look locally at our nurseries, green houses, and even general mer-chandise stores for seeds. Have fun, and make your landscape the most beautiful ever. Happy Gardening.

A Bicentennial Flashback…

Find Prehistoric Cemetery At HuronExcavation of an artifi cial mound of earth on the banks of

the Huron River, two miles south of here by an adventure-seeking Boy Scout troop, is bringing to light skeletons and works of an old tribal race thought to date back to prehistoric times.

Starting last October as a casual search for arrowheads, the venture inspired by tales of Indian lore has grown to propor-tions far exceeding the bold dreams of the youthful members of the Huron Scout troop.

Several days after the fi rst shovel of earth was turned, a skull was uncovered. Digging since then has gone on at top speed fi red by young imaginations. Nineteen skeletons have been found so far, old squaws with children nestled in their arms, warriors killed in battle, all resting peacefully 10 feet down.

At fi rst it was thought the remains were those of the Huron Indians, who roamed the vicinity two centuries ago, Indications now, however, are that the remains are of the Hopewell Indians, a prehistoric tribe previously unknown in

Ohio.Discovery of a curious ceremonial pipe led to the latter be-

lief. The pipe is of a design no known in the culture of the traditional American Indians. It is a clay pipe of reddish hue, artfully shaped into an alligator’s head.

The above article appeared in the Cleveland Plain Dealer sometime in the early 1970s. The pipe and other artifacts are now part of the Ohio Historical Society collection. The complete article is posted in the Huron Historical Society showcase on the lower level of the Huron Public Library. More information is sought about the discovery.

Like many other folks in the area, Erie MetroParks is look-ing for ways to conserve and spend wisely. So, it makes sense that the park district makes choices that save taxpayer dollars and help the environment at the same time.

All Erie MetroParks staff have their paychecks direct depos-ited and do not receive a paper paystub. Instead, staff have online access to their paystub and all previous paystubs since the online service began earlier this year.

Financial Administrator Sara Lippus explained, “The cur-rent process of delivering paystubs is labor-intensive, because the paystubs need to be printed, folded, put into envelopes and delivered to each staff member.

However, with online statements, employees can access their paystubs from any location with an internet connection, 24 hours a day. This not only saves the time spent processing each employee’s paystub, but it eliminates the need for the paper it was printed on and the envelope it was sent in.

Additionally, employees can access not only current, but

also prior paystubs as well, making pay history available to employees for loan applications, fi nancial transactions, or other agencies requesting wage verifi cations as needed.”

Since the online service is free, the new procedures are more than a timesaver, they are a money saver. Executive Direc-tor Steve Dice said, “As conservations we continually look in unusual places to improve our wise use of natural resources. Eliminating paper pay stubs and direct depositing checks re-duces paper consumption and saves trees.”

According to Financial Administrator Sara Lippus, staff are all using direct deposit, and are in a transition period right now with the online paystub access. To make the new process run smoothly, the online access has been in place for almost a month, but paper paystubs are still being printed. She antici-pates that she will no longer print paystubs for the staff as of the end of this month.

For more information, contact Erie MetroParks at (419)621-4220 x21.

Saving Paper = Saving Green

Erie MetroParks is pleased announce it’s now even easier to fi nd on the Internet. Do you have a MySpace, Facebook or Twitter account? If so, search for Erie MetroParks and check out what our pages have to offer! You’ll fi nd lots of photos and the latest information.

For those that aren’t familiar with these free services, Erie MetroParks invites to try them along with us. See how we’re making the most of them, and maybe you’ll fi nd a new hobby.

Executive Director Steve Dice said, “We need to recognize that communication methods are changing. It is important for Erie MetroParks to remain current with technological communication advances to insure we reach all segments of our community.”

Taxes

That bigger pay check last week was designed to give you more to spend to help the economy. Here is what you need to consider now to avoid a big surprise come tax time next year.

As you may be aware, the IRS has an-nounced changes to the withholding tables that refl ect the benefi ts of the Making Work Pay Credit (MWPC).

Employers are being encouraged to begin using the new tables as soon as possible, but not later than April 1.

Because the withholding tables cannot take into account ineligible taxpayers, workers with multiple jobs, or dual income married couples, the reduced withholding may ac-tually exceed the credit that you’ll be able to claim when you fi le your tax return. As a result, a married couple could EACH have $800 less withholding during the rest of the year ($1,600 combined). Their maximum credit on the 2009 return will only be $800. A single taxpayer, who has two jobs, could have $400 less withholding from EACH job for a total of $800 in less withholding. His maximum credit on the 2009 return will only be $400. Each case results in a lower refund, which could turn the taxpayer’s situation into a balance due.

Remember, too, that not all workers qualify for the MWPC. Nonresident aliens, individuals who are a depen-dent of another taxpayer, and individuals who do not have a valid social security number will fi nd that their withhold-ing is reduced the same as other workers, all of which will result in a reduced refund and perhaps even a balance due.

(For joint fi lers, only one taxpayer must be eligible to claim the MWPC.)

Adult recipients of Social Security, Railroad, SSI, and Vet-erans Retirement or Disability benefi ts, WHO ALSO HAVE W-2 income, should be aware that the $250 one-time Eco-nomic Recovery Payment which they will automatically re-ceive reduces any allowable “Making Work Pay” credit that they’ll be able to claim on the 2009 Tax Return.

As an example, assume a married couple who both work use Married for their withholding status. They also re-ceive Social Security benefi ts. The couple could receive as much as $2,100 in early benefi ts ($800+$800+$250+$250). The problem arises when the 2009 Tax Return is pre-pared. Assume the couple is entitled to a tentative Making Work Pay Credit of $800. They will only be able to claim a $300.($800-$500) MWPC compared to their $1,600 re-duction in withholding. This would result in additional tax liability of $1,300 tax liability-A BAD SURPRISE!We encourage individuals who will receive the Economic Recovery Payment and continue to work, individuals with multiple jobs, married couples who both work, and indi-viduals who do not qualify to claim the MWPC to consider submitting a revised Form W4 with their employers. The most straightforward “fi x” is to request a specifi c additional dollar amount to be withheld from each check (Form W-4, line 6) to increase your withholding to where it needs to be.

As always, H&R Block is here to assist you. You may con-tact us to help with planning or making changes to your current withholding.

Mrs. Ingrid Ritzler, fourth grade teacher at Woodlands Intermediate School, recently re-ceived a Tiger Fund Grant for $520 to help bring a special immigration program to the school. The Western Reserve Historical Society came to the fourth grade with the pro-gram “Traveling Immigration Trunks.” During this pro-gram, trunks telling the “sto-ries” of immigrants who came from different locations were brought to the school. One hundred and seven students participated in this program by unpacking the trunks and putting together the immi-grants’ stories.

“The students had a lot of fun and were very involved (in the program),” Mrs. Ritzler said.

This program helped meet the state curriculum in many ways. It met part of the Peo-ple in Societies Standard and part of the Social Studies and Methods Standard. During the program, the fourth grade teachers split the students up into groups. The fourth grade teachers also split up, with each teacher working with a group. “The (other) fourth grade teachers and I share many ideas. That is how we get some of the best ideas for projects and programs like this.” Mrs. Ritzler said.

After the program came to the school, the classes followed up with a class discussion and the students each wrote up a written response. The students enjoyed and benefi ted from the immigration program.

This is the fi rst Tiger Fund Grant that Mrs. Ritzler has re-

ceived. She has received a SmartBoard grant and a supply grant, however. Mrs. Ritzler has been teaching for fi fteen years and has been teaching fourth grade for eight of those years. “Teaching is very rewarding. I would hope that my students have enjoyed my class,” Mrs. Ritzler said.

Mrs. Leah LaCrosse, fi fth grade science teacher at Wood-lands Intermediate School, has received $1,000 for a grant from the TIGER Fund.

The purchase will be used to make mini movies on units in science and health. She used the money to purchase a digital camcorder, a Mac Mini processor and hard drive, and iStop Motion software. The software will be available for use by all of her classes all the time. A small group of students will make a movie, and it will be shown to all of fi fth grade science or heath classes depending on the subject of the movie.

Mrs. LaCrosse decided to purchase these items because when she taught eighth grade multi-media she used similar software. She wanted to try it out on fi fth grade science stu-dents. Anyone interesting is seeing the videos will be able to fi nd them at www.huronhs.com, on Mrs. LaCrosse’s website. Mrs. LaCrosse said that this software is only one step below what some producers on TV use to edit their shows.

Mrs. LaCrosse has written about fi fteen grants in her twelve years of teaching. She has taught many different grade lev-els such as fi rst grade, fourth grade, sixth grade, and eighth grade. Mrs. LaCrosse said she enjoys teaching because she learns along with her students.

The Huron boys and girls Jr. High and High School track teams cookie sales came to a close March 11. The teams sold over 800 boxes of Ready to Cook cookie dough and received just over $5000 for their efforts. The following individuals will receive free track T-Shirts and some with receive even free track sweats for their selling expertise: Ryan McNulty, Macy McFarland, Rika Izumi, Katie Zimmer, Dani Czekaj, Erin O’Reilly, Kassie Nageotte, Kaileigh Koschutnick, Jes-sica Majoy, Amber Harkey, Lisa Harkey, Rachel Miller, Kelsey Reno, Jessica Emery, Jadi, Minton, Brooke Barnhart, Katsuy-

ori Izumi, Nick Lowy, Josh Marshall, Ron Ross, Tyler Wat-son, Michael Post, Ryan Biddlecombe, Ethan Felton, Hannah, Niebler, and Kelsey Solberg. The top seller was Michael Post who received $43 for selling 43 boxes and the Kalahari water park day pass was won by Kelsey Reno. The money earned will go towards pole vault poles, after meet treats, end of the season scrapbooks, and any other item deemed necessary to help run the program for the athletes safety and enjoyment. We hope you will consider buying next year and to those of you who did, enjoy and thank you for your support.

Get the Credit Rating You Want

BY BRUCE MILLER,STATE FARM® AGENT

Customers often ask why lenders need to review their credit report before approving them for a home or car loan or a credit card. Credit reports contain a lot of valuable infor-mation about your previous fi nancial behavior and help lenders predict whether you’ll pay off any new debt. There-fore, it’s important that you maintain a good credit report.

If you’re just starting out, there are several ways to establish a good credit history. You could apply for a credit card or ob-tain an installment loan. It’s smart to start out using credit cards and installment loans for small items – this gives you time to gain experience with working monthly payments into your budget.

Just as credit cards and loans can help build your credit history, so too can your everyday actions. Always be sure to pay your bills on time, including rent, electric, gas, water, and cable tv bills.

If you are interested in learning more about your credit re-port, Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion are all major credit reporting agencies. You may contact one of these companies to obtain a copy of your credit report.

Unfortunately, there are times when we may fi nd ourselves with an unfavorable credit rating. If you’ve found yourself in this position, there are steps you can take to improve your credit report: begin paying your bills on time, avoid taking on any new debt, and work with your current creditors to repay your debts. If you are very late on your payments, consider calling a credit counseling agency instead of claiming bank-ruptcy. Credit counseling can assist you in reducing your debt without as much damage to your credit report. By addressing your problems early, many creditors will be willing to work with you provided you show a sincere interest in repaying your debts.

Whether you’re just now beginning to establish credit for yourself or you’re trying to improve your credit rating, taking smart steps now will enable you to enjoy greater opportuni-ties later; when it comes time for you to apply for a loan on a new home or that car you’ve been eyeing, you’ll be confi dent that your credit report won’t be stopping you from the things you enjoy.
