Girls’ Night Out founders Gretchen and Doug Studer recently spread some cheer to four local cancer programs by distributing to them the proceeds from the sixth annual Girls’ Night Out event, an evening of entertainment, fun and fund-raising just for women held Oct. 20 at the Kalahari Resort Convention Center.

The local benefi t was attended by more than 1,200 women and raised $54,000 for Can-cer Services; the Fisher-Titus Mammography Fund; the Firelands Regional Medical Center Cancer Program Fund; and North Coast Can-cer Foundation.

One of the highlights of the event included Doug Bollinger of Huron winning the Hog for a Cause Harley Davidson donated to Girls’ Night Out by Jim and Jamie Fitzgerald of Fitzgerald Body Shops in Monroeville, Willard, and Sandusky. In addition, Huron resident Joan Van Offeren, executive director of the Erie County Visitors & Convention Bureau, was named the 2010 GNO Woman of the Year and many great prizes and gifts were awarded dur-ing the large-scale event.

“Girls’ Night Out 2010 was a phenomenal success and we thank all who attended and made it possible to give to four local cancer programs that will help our community,’” said Doug Studer, who is also co-owner of Curves

in Sandusky. The Studers founded Girls’ Night Out in 2005

as a way to give back to the community and to support local cancer programs. More than $170,000 has been raised in six years and dis-

tributed locally through the event. The 2011 event is tentatively scheduled for the

fi rst Wednesday in November. Watch for more details on www.girlsnightoutcharity.com.

Brenda Culler of Huron captured these beautiful winter weather photos over the weekend at Sheldon Marsh State Nature Preserve in Huron. The area received its fi rst signifi cant snowfall of the year, coupled with temperatures in the teens and strong winds.

SUBMITTED BY THE HURON FIRE DEPARTMENTLT. PAUL HASENMEIERThe Huron Fire Department wishes you and yours a safe

and happy holiday season. Listed below are some tips to help bring in the New Year without a fi re or medical emer-gency.

Christmas TreesChristmas trees that are not kept moist can present a very

serious fi re hazard. A dried out Christmas tree can be to-tally consumed by fi re in less than 30 seconds. Take spe-cial precautions when buying your Christmas tree. Trees with brown shedding needles should be rejected. If the tree looks green and fresh, take a long needle and bend it be-tween your thumb and forefi nger. If it snaps, the tree is too dry. When the trunk of a tree is bounced on the ground, a shower of falling needles shows that tree is dry. When you bring a tree home, cut about an inch off the end of the trunk. This will remove the dried end and allow the tree to absorb water. Make checkerboard cuts into the base at different angles to make a greater surface for water absorp-tion. Always turn off lights on trees and other decorations when you go to bed or leave your home. A short circuit in any of this equipment could cause a fi re. Never use electric lights on a metallic tree. Damaged insulation in lighting on a metallic tree could cause the entire tree to be charged with electricity. To avoid this danger, use colored spotlights above or beside a metal tree, never fastened onto it. Keep children away from light sets and electrical decorations. All lights present the problem of shock and casualty hazards for curious kids. When you are stringing the lights on your tree, be careful how you place them. Keep all bulbs turned away from gifts and paper ornaments. Lights in windows can cause curtains and drapes to ignite.

CandlesCandles are a traditional and beautiful part of the season.

But they are still a direct source of fi re in your home. Keep candles a safe distance from oth-er things. And remember that a fl ickering fl ame is a thing of fas-cination to little children. Keep candles out of their reach.

- Never use lighted candles on a tree or near other evergreens.

Notice is hereby given that as of December 2010, meet-ings of the City of Huron Planning Commission will take place on the fourth Wednesday of the month at 6:30 p.m in Council Chambers at City Hall, 417 Main St., Huron. The next meeting of the Planning Commission will be Dec. 22 at 6:30 p.m. This notice is given pursuant to Section 121.01 of the Codifi ed Ordinances of the City and to comply with Section 121.22 of the Ohio Revised Code commonly known as the Sunshine Law.

FROM THE FIREHOUSE

Have you noticed the new Erie County United Way ther-mometer in front of Huron’s City Hall? The 2010-2011 campaign is in full swing and the Huron Campaign is at 70 percent of its $30,000 goal.

The Erie County United Way supports 22 local agencies that work for the people in Erie County, so giving to the United Way fund is like helping one out of four people right here in Erie County, according to Huron co-chairman Ben Lindsley. Huron’s goal is a part of Erie County’s overall goal of $750,000, which is presently 50 percent complete.

“We are very proud of the wonderful campaign chaired by Alyson Wilson this fall at BGSU Firelands Campus,” Lindsley said. “The facility and staff exceeded 100 percent of their $5,000 goal. We truly appreciate the support from the Huron community, but we need a little more help to reach our goal, which extends to the latter part of January.”

Huron co-chairmen are Lindsley and Wayne Foster; and campaign workers are Carole Dreffer, Dee Hartley and Dave Clark.

Donations can be mailed to Erie County United Way 416 Columbus Ave. Sandusky 44870; or call the Erie County United Way offi ce for questions or to make a pledge. The Web site is www.uwerieco.org.

Huron United WayCampaign in Full Swing

A local chef ’s gingerbread house masterpiece is being raffl ed off for children’s charity next week. A drawing for the house, designed and created by Chef Kenneth Feathers

II, will be held on Tuesday Dec. 21 at Marconi’s Restau-rant. Funds raised will go toward the Girls and Boys Club of America.

Chef Kenneth is the pastry chef for Marconi’s as well as Carlo Martellos business partner in Cafe Piccolo. The licensed chef has been in the restaurant industry for 31 years, previously as the chef at the Wyndham Casa Marina in Key West, Fla. He received his degree in hospitality man-agement from the the University of Akron.

The house took just over 120 hours to build, from plans that Feathers drew up. It includes: 1,124 Necco wafers on the roof; 764 candy “lego” bricks in fencing; 426 chocolate rocks in the chimney; 116 cups powdered sugar in the ic-ing; and 48 cups of brown sugar in the gingerbread. The house comes complete with a wraparound porch, a Jacuzzi on the porch and a pond in the yard. And the hard candy windowpanes glow from lighting inside the house.

The house will be on display at Marconi’s Restaurant, 424 Berlin Road, during regular business hours until the win-ner picks it up after the drawing.

Huron died Tuesday, Dec. 7, 2010, at Fire-lands Regional Medical Center in Sandusky.

Everett J. Rea Sr.Oct. 1, 1918 - Dec. 11, 2010Everett J. Rea Sr., 92, of Huron died Sat-

urday, Dec. 11, 2010, in Firelands Regional Medical Center, Sandusky.

Born Oct. 1, 1918, in Syracuse, N.Y., Ever-ett was a resident of Huron for the past six years after previously residing in Brooks-ville, Fla., and Syracuse.

A member of the Greatest Generation, he served in the Army Air Force during World War II in the Philippines and as a POW for four years after being captured in Bataan. Believing life’s diffi culties should not defi ne you and that you should always move for-ward, Everett lived his life to the fullest and was an incredible friend and role model to all those who knew him.

After the war, he married the love of his life, Marie, at Atonement Lutheran Church, Syracuse. He went to work for the Post Standard newspaper in Syracuse as a print-er and then as the manager of Spaulding Law Printing. Possessing a gentle nature,

he was loved by all who worked with him. Retiring in 1980, they moved to Brooksville where they focused on being loving parents and grandparents as well as being active at Nativity Lutheran Church.

In 2004, he moved to Huron, living on Lake Erie where he thoroughly enjoyed the lake, community, family and Zion Luther-an Church. He enjoyed walking, reading, story telling and meeting people. He leaves a proud legacy of service to country, com-munity involvement and his family.

He is survived by two daughters, Susan (William III) Welser of Melbourne, Fla., and Judi (George) Heck of the Kenilworth, Ill.; a son, Everett Rea Jr. of Huron; 10 grandchildren, Amie (Samuel) Price, Wil-liam IV (Eileen) Welser, Mi-chael (Sara) Welser, Sarah Welser, Sarah Heck, Andrew Heck, Katherine Rea and Nicholas Rea; six great-grandchildren, Samuel, Ev-erett and Celia Price, and Alaina, William V and Cal-vin Welser; and his sister, Jane Stearns.

He was preceded in death by his wife of 60 years, Ma-rie H. Rea, who died March 16, 2008; parents, Leon and Edith (Sell) Rea; and siblings, Leon, Walter and Frances.

Friends called from 10 a.m. Monday until services at 11 a.m. in Zion Lutheran Church, 930 S. Main St., Huron. The Rev. Raymond Vance will offi ciate. A burial service will be at Atonement Lutheran Church, Syracuse, with interment at Woodlawn Cemetery in Syracuse.

Contributions may be made to Zion Lu-theran Church, 930 S. Main St., Huron, OH 44839 or Fisher House, Dover AFB, DE 19901, supporting the families of fallen sol-diers returning home to our nation.

Foster Funeral Home, 410 Main St., Hu-ron, is handling arrangements. Condolenc-es may be shared at fosterfh.com.

Peter School students showed their gift of giving recently by making toy donations to Care and Share. Each

student was asked to bring in one gen-tly-used toy for distribution to area children in need (and many students

brought in several items), resulting in a collection of hundreds of toys.

This is the second year St. Peter stu-

dents have participated in this holiday philanthropy project; it began last year with the kindergarten class and

was expanded this year to include the entire school. Care and Share Director Dan Ward personally came to St. Peter to accept the donation.

“This was a wonderful lesson in giving,” said Linda Smith, St. Peter School principal. “The students really enjoyed bringing in their toys know-ing they were going to children who would be so grateful to receive the items as gifts for Christmas.”

The mission of St. Peter School is to foster a Catholic faith community, while providing a safe environment which emphasizes Christian moral values, academic excellence, social awareness, physical development and a cultural appreciation. Care and Share serves residents of Erie County who qualify for assistance under Fed-eral guidelines. It distributes food, clothing, furniture, children’s toys, household goods and more to people in need. For more information, call 419-624-1411.

The following McCormick Junior High students earned the “Student of the Month” title for November: Bai-ley Gadd, seventh-grade; and Alisia Kelley, eighth-grade.

McCormick Principal Chad Carter, and the grade-level teachers recognize one deserving student in each grade every month throughout the school year.

“The award will be based on the fol-lowing criteria: attendance, attitude, workmanship, growth and improve-ment, classroom behavior and work completion,” Carter said.

Student of the Month candidates are nominated by the grade level teachers and selected by Carter and the Mc-Cormick staff.

At its recent awards banquet, the Tennessee Walking Horse Breeders’ and Exhibitors’ Association honored Duke and Rhonda Thorson of Huron, Ohio, with its prestigious Youth Am-bassador Award. Presented annually, this award recognizes a member of the Tennessee Walking Horse community that has gone above and beyond in their efforts to support and promote youth in the Tennessee Walking Horse industry. This year’s event was held Dec. 3 in Lewisburg, Tenn.

As part of the award presentation, which was made by TWHBEA mem-ber-at-large youth Margo Urad, the biography of the Thorsons (below) was read:

“This year’s TWHBEA Youth Am-bassador Award is being presented to Duke and Rhonda Thorson. The Thorsons originally became im-mersed in the world of the Tennessee Walking Horse for one reason: their daughter, Allison. On a trip to Mar-tinsville, Virginia to watch the family’s racing team compete, they stopped at a West Virginia horse farm where Alli-son was able to ride a Tennessee Walk-ing Horse for the fi rst time. When they came back to Ohio, Allison took her fi rst lessons at Maplecrest Farm, and she quickly displayed her talents and instincts. Now, seven years later, the entire Thorson family has broadened their horizons; Allison has become one of the top youth riders in the country, while her parents have built their own horse farm, grown the num-ber of horses they own, and expanded their business interests into the eques-trian world.

“Allison’s enthusiasm for horses on

that long weekend in 2004 ultimately resulted in the acquisition of their fi rst two horses, Vigor’s Dixie Chick and

Heza A Grey Ghost. From there, Thor-Sport Farm was born. Built in late summer 2008 and located in Perkins Township, Ohio, the sprawling facility includes a large indoor training arena with multiple viewing platforms, out-door pastures, indoor meeting facili-ties, and an a full-sized tennis court. ThorSport Farm has grown to 15 horses trained in Ohio, Tennessee and Kentucky, including two-time World Grand Champion “Roll The Gold.”

“Allison’s passion for horses also led to an expansion of the ThorWorks In-dustries product line. Known world-wide for its complete line of pavement maintenance products and equip-ment, ThorWorks has become heav-

ily involved in the equestrian world with its revolutionary dust-free Thor Turf equestrian surface. Additionally,

through FarmPaint.com, the company has expanded into a full line of farm coatings, including barn and fence paints, roof coating, dust control and much more.

Generous to a fault, the Thorsons have sponsored numerous events within the Tennessee Walking Horse industry, including All Youth Day, which they have supported for mul-tiple years. Through their support of Allison they have been instrumental in the promotion of the Tennessee Walking Horse as a youth mount at events such as Equine Affaire and the 2010 World Equestrian Games.”

Early Dismissal forHuron High School

The Board of Trustees of the Huron Public Library re-cently announced fi ve Trustees Emeritus. To be honored as a Trustee Emeritus, a Board member must have served with distinction for at least 15 years.

Saundra Dolbeer, a retired preschool teacher, served 18 years, 1992-2009. Alea Dahnke, a retired Spanish teacher, served 23 years, 1986-2008. Former City of Huron recep-tionist Jo Homyak served 24 years, 1975-1998. Retired den-tist Dr. Gordon Meeker served 23 years, 1972-1994. The

Trustee Emeritus with the longest period of service is re-tired realtor John Halter, who served 40 years, 1970-2009.

Dolbeer, Dahnke and Halter were actively involved in the library’s building project in 2000-2002.

The Huron Public Library Board of Trustees thanks these dedicated individuals who volunteered untold hours to benefi t the library and the Huron community. A plaque honoring the fi ve is located on the main fl oor by the stair-way to the lower level.

Sports

At the end of the fi rst quarter, the Huron spectators who traveled to Vermilion for this contest had to be thinking that the Sailors were lucky that the game was tied at eight apiece. The Tigers looked much more athletic and Vermil-ion did not have the same size they did in previous years. It seemed to play right into Huron’s hands. But when assis-tant coach Frank Gioffre yelled out to the team, in frustra-tion, that they had already committed nine turnovers after just four minutes ... that told you everything you needed to know about the night to come.

Senior Brian Bollenbacher gave Huron their largest lead of the night with a three pointer at the 3:55 mark in the second quarter. It was 18-13 and the Tigers looked like they were fi nally going to settle in and take command. But the Sailors chipped away, closing to within one point at the half (20-19). Bo’s aforementioned three had been Huron’s last fi eld goal of the fi rst half.

Huron gave up the lead for good early in the third quar-ter. Vermilion developed a patience on offense that pro-duced lay-up after lay-up. The home team opened with a 10-4 run followed by a Tiger timeout, then a 6-2 run to close out the third period up 35-26. Huron’s offense had absolutely gone cold and to make matters worse, the kids were committing the type of frustration fouls that makes a coach go grey. The most common example was a reach-in foul after the turnover had already been committed and the ball secured, instead of hustling back on defense.

The fi nal quarter was a clinic of patience put on by the Sailors for the young Tigers. Almost every basket was from three feet and in. Huron did battle to get back to within seven points (40-33) following a bucket by sophomore Aaron Driftmeyer with 6:16 left in the game. But that was the last made shot from the fi eld for the Huron. In sum-mary, long draughts of poor shooting and multiple un-forced errors sealed the visitors’ fate. But, as will be the story much of the season, the potential is there and Coach James has the young men playing hard.

The Lady Tigers picked up their fi rst SBC win this week in two years when they defeated the St. Mary’s Panthers, 73-62. Huron jumped out early and held the lead throughout,

taking advantage of numer-ous Panther turnovers. Lau-ren Volz led the way with 25 points, while point guard Alexis Lemar chipped in 16 of her own. Coach Ray’s team also received excel-lent bench play from junior Sierra Ward who added 10 points with eight rebounds.

Later in the week, the Ti-gers traveled to Perkins to face one of the better teams in the SBC. While the Pi-rates were able to maintain their undefeated season (3-0) with a 53-34 victory, the game was much more con-tested then they certainly would have liked. First, Hu-ron came out playing very aggressively in a zone de-fense, reaching for the ball whenever possible. But they were also frustrated by the Pirate press, which created numerous turnovers and held the visitors to just fi ve

fi rst-quarter points.Early on the Tiger offense seemed geared to posting Volz

up in the high post, but the guards struggled to get the ball into her. Perkins did a nice job of denying the ball with their length. Eventually, she was pulled back out to the pe-rimeter where she could fi nd brief openings for jumpers with her quick release. Junior Kelsey Koehler opened the second period with a fi eld goal to close the margin to 12-7. Volz then rolled off two straight three pointers, but the Pirates responded each time, making it 18-13 with 5:49 left in the fi rst half. The teams played hard and evenly until halftime, with Huron trailing 28-19.

Senior Devon Koenig closed the margin to seven points with the second half ’s fi rst bucket. The Pirates then went on a 10-2 run that fi nally came to a halt with two minutes left in the third period on a Volz 15-footer and a Koenig score. Another Volz three pointer brought the Tigers back to within eight (38-30) going into the fi nal quarter.

Unfortunately, the Tigers would not score for another

three minutes, while Perkins scored seven unanswered points. With just over fi ve minutes left, the Pirates went into a well-run stall. Huron was forced to foul and Per-kins capitalized on six of eight free throws to close out the game. The Tigers went ice cold from the fi eld and could only muster four points in the fourth period. Lauren Volz, again led the offense with 18 points, while fellow senior Devon Koenig added eight.

Swim Team Splits with Norwalk

The Huron High School Swim Team opened up its season last week vs. Norwalk. The Tigers split the meet with the girl’s team winning 81-70, while the boys lost 108-45. Tiger coach Adam Warner commented: “It was a great meet to start off with; many of our swimmers got their personal best times. It is always nice to start off the year with a personal best because it gives the kids mo-tivation to keep getting better.”

Swimmers who fi nished either fi rst or sec-ond were:

Swimmers Improve at A-Behr Invite

The Huron Tigers swim team participated in the Sandusky A-Behr Invitation held last Saturday. The girls fi nished in sixth place

out of nine teams with a

score of 100 points. The guys took fourth place with a score of 113 points. Both teams were able to fi nish faster and score more points than the previous season. Coach Warren added: “I could not be happier on how we did as a team and with everyone individually ... they dropped a ton of time and blew away my expectations of how they did.”

The Sandusky State Theatre announces that direct from Branson and Nashville

The Lowes Christmas Spectacular will ap-pear live on stage at 7:30 p.m., Tuesday, Dec. 21.

The talented Lowe family has been enter-taining hundreds of thousands around the

world for more than 25 years. All seven of the Lowe family siblings began studying and performing the music of the masters at very young ages.

The Lowe family has been called a “mod-ern day version of the . . . Osmonds with Donnie and Marie, Lawrence Welk, the Rockettes, and an Andy Williams Christmas rolled into one.” Versatile on many instru-ments, the Lowes offer an amazing blend of show-stopping classical, Broadway, Irish,

jazz, bluegrass, old-time favorites, spectacu-lar dance, six-part harmony, gospel, a stir-ring patriotic tribute, and more.

“The musical capabilities of the entire family are amazing. They have honed their skills so that they can perform any type of music-and do it with exceptional skill,” said Cincinnati Post writer Johnnie Wolfe.

Adults Show Only is $10-24 and the Chil-dren (12 & Under) Show Only is $10. A Din-ner and Show Package is also available for $30-45 per person and will be catered by Creative Cuisine. Tickets are on sale now and can be purchased online at www.sanduskys-tate.com; by phone at 419-626-1950 or 877-626-1950; or in person in the box offi ce/gift shop located at 107 Columbus Ave. (corner of Water Street and Columbus Avenue).

The Huron Historical Society can help you with gift giving this year. Residents can choose from high-quality prints, books and DVDs that offer glimpses into Huron’s history.

Prints- One print available is “Old Downtown

Huron 1957” by Owen Felton. This num-bered, limited edition print is sized to fi t a standard 16 by 20 mat and frame. It captures downtown Huron before urban renewal. The minimum donation for this print is $38.

- Another is “The Golden Age” by Mans-fi eld, Ohio artist Kinley Shogren, which de-picts the Golden Age, a 287 foot long schoo-ner. Built by Valentine Fries on the Huron River in 1883, it was the largest vessel on the Great Lakes at the time. Minimum donation for this print is $60.

- Last minute shoppers can also choose a color copy of the “Huron Ore Dock,” a print by Bruce Dickens, produced for the Nickel Plate Road Historian Society’s convention held at Sawmill Creek in October. It features the Fairbanks-Morse “Baby Trainmaster” switcher working in Huron. The minimum donation for this print is $5.

Books

Two books, “Not To be Forgotten Times,” Volumes I and II, describe life in Huron from the 1700s to 1929. Each high-quality book is full of interesting stories and historical facts and is a minimum donation of $20 each or $37.50 for the set.

DVDsTwo DVDs available were created in 2009

during Huron’s Bicentennial Celebration.- “Downtown Interrupted,” Huron’s Ur-

ban Renewal Experience, is an informative documentary, and tells the story of Huron’s controversial urban renewal project and the animosity it sparked between those who sup-ported the project and those who did not. The minimum donation for this DVD is $15.

- “Huron, My Hometown, a Series of Oral Histories,” consists of fi ve DVDs featuring 19 interviews with local residents, and describes the history of the area through the eyes of those who lived it. The minimum donation for this set of fi ve is $30.

For more information about purchasing these items, check out www.huronhistorical-society.com, or call the Huron Historical So-ciety at 419-433-5009 Ext. 243, and leave and message.

The Huron Chamber of Commerce is once again selling the commemorative Christmas ornaments that have been a Hu-ron tradition for more than two decades.

Featured on this year’s white frosted or-nament is Kalahari Field at Huron Memo-rial Stadium. For many years, local art-ist Bob Hilty has created these miniature sketches that are barely one-inch square. With his passing last month, this year’s or-nament will be his last creation.

The ornaments are available at the Chamber offi ce, 509 Huron St., at Katman Graphics, ACE Hardware and from Boost-er and H-Team members. Cost is $10.

Jewelry, glass artwork, Huron prints, Judy Ryan and Kathy Muehlhauser Moore’s two volumes of local history and other Huron memorabilia are available at the Chamber.

Sandusky State Theatre Hosts The Lowes Christmas Spectacular

Historical SocietyCan Help With Gift Lists

Chamber of Commerce 2010 Ornament

- Always use non-fl ammable holders. - Keep candles away from other decora-

tions and wrapping paper. - Place candles where they cannot be

knocked down or blown over. PaperDispose of gift wrappings soon after

opening presents. A room full of paper ly-ing around on the fl oor is just one more holiday hazard. Place trash in an approved container. Do not burn wrappings in the fi replace. They may ignite suddenly and cause a fl ash fi re.

Christmas GiftsOne of the best Christmas gifts you can

get someone is a smoke detector. A smoke detector is worth so much, possibly a loved one’s life, yet so inexpensive. More than 90 percent of fi re deaths occur in residential dwellings between 11 p.m. and 6 a.m. when occupants are asleep. Smoke detectors alert occupants when a fi re is still small and there is still time to escape.

Holiday PlantsHolly and mistletoe can be fatal to a small

child and the smaller the child, the smaller the dose that can cause serious medical problems. Poinsettia leaves are not fatal if

swallowed, but can cause a skin rash and an upset stomach. Call 9-1-1 if your children ingest any of these holiday plants.

Trimming the TreeWhen choosing the fi nishing touches

for decorating your tree, purchase tinsel or artifi cial icicles of a non-leaded mate-rial. Leaded materials may be hazardous if eaten by children or pets. Avoid any decora-tions that tend to break easily or have sharp edges. Keep tree trimmings that are small or have removable parts out of the reach of your child. These pieces may be swallowed.

LightsUse only lights that have been tested for

safety. Identify these by the UL label from Underwriters Laboratories or another reputable testing agency. Check each set of lights for broken or cracked sockets, frayed or bare wires or loose connections. Check labels of lights to be used outdoors to see that they are suitable for outdoor use. Nev-er use indoor lights outside. Fasten outdoor lights securely to trees, walls or other fi rm support to protect them from wind dam-age. Use no more than three sets of lights per single extension. Read the manufac-turer’s instructions carefully and do not use more than the recommended number of lights in one circuit.
