On Friday, January 6th the students of Huron City Schools had special presentations brought to them by the Huron Historical Society and Ad-vanced Explosives Demolition (AED) in honor of the demolition of the ConAgra facility. The presentations at McCormick Junior High, Wood-lands Intermediate and Shawnee Elementary School were all grade-level appropriate and tailor-made for the specific student bodies.

Mrs. Judy Ryan and Mrs. Kathy Muehlhauser-Moore from the Huron Historical Society gave a brief history of the property to the students be-fore introducing Eliyah Kelly. Eliyah, 7, described to the students her role in the AED family business. Eliyah entertained several questions from the audience.

When asked by a Shawnee student what they were going to build at the site. She responded, “We are just here for a blast! I don’t know what they are going to turn it into. It’s kind of like a birthday present….it’s a sur-prise!”

The Shawnee and Woodlands students had the special opportunity to meet the boy behind the button – Max Hinton. Max, 8, is being treat-ed for neuroblastoma, a childhood cancer that forms in the nerve tissue. Max travelled to Huron, Ohio from California specifically to blow up the ConAgra facility. The Make-A-Wish Foundation fulfilled his dreams and made this possible.

On Sunday afternoon many students and residents took to the riverside to anxiously watch “history” in the making. After a brief daytime fireworks display put on by the City of Huron marking the historical moment, Max, Eliyah and her family with the push of a button successfully brought the building down. The ConAgra facility was history and a new chapter for the community has begun.

Eliyah Kelly, 7, daughter of Lisa and Eric Kelly of AED, introduces Max Hinton, 8, the famous ConAgra button-pusher, to the Shawnee Elementary School students on Friday, January 6th, 2011.

Huron Students ReceiveHistory Lesson Just In Time

North Coast Cancer Foundation (NCCF) is pleased to announce that Cruisin’ by the Bay was voted the best car show in 2011 for downtown events by readers of Cruisin’ Times Magazine for the second year in a row.

The Cruisin’ by the Bay Committee was pleased to hear about the recent recognition. An increased number of entries, sponsors, and community support for prostate cancer awareness also helped to propel the event last year.

Plans are already in the works for the 21st Annual Car Show and Cruise-In. It’s scheduled again this year for Friday, September 7 and Saturday, September 8, 2012. Details about this year’s show will be available soon at www.cruisinbythebay.org.

More about North Coast Cancer Foundation:North Coast Cancer Foundation is dedicated to enhancing the lives of all people

affected by cancer. Toward this end, they seek to provide support in these areas:• Financial support for uninsured and underinsured cancer patients• Education for patients, community members, and fellow healthcare profes-

sionals • Complementary therapies where appropriate for patients and their caregivers • Research opportunities to improve patient’s outcomesEvents such as Cruisin’ by the Bay help fund programs and services through

North Coast Cancer Foundation.

The Huron City Schools is pleased to an-nounce their Performance Index Score has them ranked in the top 13 percent for the state of Ohio and ranked number one in Erie County.

As noted in the graphs provided, Huron’s Performance Index Score totaled 125, with 1 being the best. The average score for Erie County is 356 and the average for the San-dusky Bay Conference Schools is 292.

“Our goal is to be in the top 10% of the state,” stated Superintendent Fred Fox. “We are continually looking at new ideas to help

the students and improve our scores.” New in 2012, The Ohio Department of

Education will be launching a new approach for comparing academic performance among school districts and schools across the state of Ohio. The new scoring system, mandated by House Bill 153 takes effect September 2012, and will allow educators to compare their per-formance with their peers.

Per the Ohio Department of Education website, the performance index rewards the achievement of every student, not just those who score proficient or higher. Students were

tested and earned points based on how well they did in all subjects in grades 3-8 on Ohio’s Achievement Assessments and on the 10th grade Ohio Graduation Test.

The Ohio Achievement Assessments have five performance levels. The levels include: advanced, accelerated, proficient, basic and limited. The percentage of students scoring at each level is calculated and then multiplied by the point value. From there it is assigned to that performance level. The points earned for each performance level are totaled to deter-mine each school’s Performance Index Score.

Cruisin’ by the Bay Car Show Voted # 1 Again

Your #1 Value in Advertising!#1 in Readership • #1 in Circulation • #1 in Results

By Judge Bill Steuk,Huron Municipal court

Did you ever see a “No Park-ing” sign on private property? There is an Ohio statute which applies to this situation. As Ohio Revised Code Section 4511.681 puts it,…

if an owner of private property posts on the property, in a con-spicuous manner, a prohibition

against parking on the property or conditions and reg-ulations under which parking is permitted, no person shall do either of the following:

Park a vehicle on the property without the owner’s consent;

Park a vehicle on the property in violation any condi-tion or regulation posted by the owner.

A violation of this section is considered a minor mis-demeanor which could mean a fine of up to One Hun-dred Fifty Dollars ($150.00). In addition to this penalty, violators could also face a towing charge if the property owner had the vehicle towed.

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.

Girls’ Night Out, a charity event to raise funds for Can-cer Services of Erie County, the Fisher-Titus Mammogra-phy Fund, the Firelands Regional Medical Center Cancer Program Fund and North Coast Cancer Foundation, has been named as one of the finalists in Cleveland Business Connects (CBC) Connectors Choice Awards in the Best Non Profit Fundraiser category.

Public voting will determine the winner. To vote, log on to http://www.cbcmagazine.com/cca2012/vote before Feb. 10, 2012. (Individuals may vote only once from the same computer/email address. Complete rules are avail-able on the site.)

“We are very excited to be a finalist for this honor and we ask that the community please go vote for this lo-cal worthwhile event which helps four local cancer pro-grams,” said Doug Studer, co-founder of Girls’ Night Out.

The Connectors Choice Awards, covering 17 catego-ries, recognizes professionals in the corporate events and networking industries in Northeast Ohio. CBC received hundreds of nominations from its readers, subscribers, advertisers, and vendors, and our judges narrowed that

list down to the finalists in each category.“Girls’ Night Out” (GNO) is a ladies-only evening of

fun, friends and fund raising with the main focus of rais-ing money for local cancer charities. In 2011, a record 1,200 women attended the event.

“Our 2011 event was the most noteworthy yet because each year we have accrued more sponsors and added more activities, amenities and reasons for ladies to attend and contribute,” Studer said. “This sold-out event at Kalahari Resort Convention Center in Sandusky raised $53,000.”

Co-founders Doug and Gretchen Studer envisioned this large-scale event in 2005. But, little did the founders or the GNO committee know how it would flourish. In its seventh year, it has expanded into a regional event that has raised $238,000 for Cancer Services of Erie County, Fisher-Titus Mammography Fund, Firelands Regional Medical Center Cancer Program Fund and North Coast Cancer Foundation.

Mary Strayer,MaSter gardener, autHor

Hardy Kiwi, Acinidia arguta and Acinidia kolomikta are native to southwestern China and are peren-nial plants are dioecious, which

means that male and female flow-ers are borne on separate plants, so both vines must be grown to en-sure pollina-tion.

T h i s special kiwi is cold hardy and can survive temperatures to -25 degrees F. The fruit size is considerably smaller than their larger cousins which we see in our local supermarkets. They average the size of your thumb joint, knuckle to tip.

The vines bloom in early spring, and if we have a really late frost, lay in the first week of May, it will not produce that year. The flowers are just larger than a pea and white in color with intricate markings. The fruit is greenish yellow until it begins to ripen. At that point it turns a wonderful deeper maroon, and when you can give the fruit the slightest squeeze, it is ready to harvest.

In my garden, the vine is 7 years old, and it has bloomed the last 5 years. Last year the vine was covered with fruit, and we picked more than two pecks of fruit. We picked all the fruit at the same time, and sat it on the kitchen counter to fin-ish ripening. We checked every day, and ate or gave away the ones which were ready. They lasted a month, and they are totally enjoy-able. If you love the large store ones, these taste the same. They are smooth, no fuzz, and have no insect or disease problems problems.

Their smallish dark green leaves shine all summer long, and thus makes a lovely addition to gardens and landscapes. They grow vigorously, making shade under the vines. It would make a lovely privacy screen for the end of a patio. They also make a great conversa-tion piece.

Plant the kiwi vines in full sun, and in any type of garden soil. They prefer rich humus soils, and PH around 6.5. Plant them in well drained areas, and do not fertilize, and the fertil-izer burns the roots.

Prune in late fall after har-vest. They then will re-grow in spring and produce your harvest.

Happy Gardening.

As part of Catholic Schools Week, our Family Groups will be having a baby show-er with all gifts being given to Heartbeat. Heartbeat is an organization that assists women who are in need of monetary help during and after pregnancy. It is fitting that as a catholic School we demonstrate our support for these women who “choose life”.

Students will be encouraged to use mon-ey from their savings or allowance to pur-chase a gift for a baby. Please feel free to

donate to our Baby Shower by dropping off wrapped baby gifts to the school by Wednesday, February 1. Some of the need-ed items are: receiving and crib blankets, newborn to nine month sleepers, gowns, onesies, sweater sets, and socks, hooded towels and washcloths, diapers, baby wash, shampoo, powder, lotion, sippy cups, baby spoons, crib sheets, diaper bags, etc.

Thank you in advance for assisting us to show respect for all life.

Baby Shower for Heartbeat

The ten finalists were: Natalie Andrews, Grace Claus, Marc Dieter, Emily Endlish, Ron-nie Eytchison, Hayden Farmer, Carlos Flores, Lake Lamb, Rosie Murphy, and Noah Stevens. After several close rounds, fifth grader Marc Dieter became our Geog-raphy Bee Champion, with Lake Lamb the runner-up. Marc will now compete in the national writ-ten test.

Huron needed a win like this. A victory where the Tiger defense swarmed with abandon in the first half as it sensed its quickness and aggressiveness were too much for Edison.

Cody Thompson’s confidence contin-ued to grow as he led the team with 17 points including three crowd rousing dunks. Most importantly, Huron climbed over the .500 mark to go 4-3 in confer-ence play.

TigersDominate Chargers

Coach Adam Warner’s Tigers improved their standing in the SBC Championship meet over last year, with the boys placing 4th and the girls plac-ing 5th.

Kevin Tomcyzk led the Tiger boys, winning the 500 freestyle and placing 2nd as part of the 200 medley relay, along with Stephen Tomczyk, Ryan Brownell and Matt Buckingham. The 200 free re-lay team of Tomczyk, Tomczyk, Brownell and Iki Tanaka also placed 2nd. Buckingham placed 4th in the 100 breast and was part of the 6th place 200 free relay team, along with Josh Battiste, Jack In-eson and Jon Turner. Turner added a 5th place fin-ish in the 100 fly and an 8th place in the 200 IM and S. Tomcyzk placed 6th in the 50 free. The 400 free relay team of Tomczyk, Tomczyk, Turner and Brownell placed 6th while Brownell took 7th in the 100 free and Brennan Cockrell took 8th in the 100

breast.Alli Slocum led the girls with a 4th place finish

in the 100 breast, and 5th place finishes in the 500 free and as part of the 200 medley relay team that also included Julia Martello, Emily Ineson and Courtney Hart. Martello added a 5th place in the 100 fly and an 8th in the 200 IM. The 200 free relay team of Slocum, Megan Maley, Martello and Hart placed 8th.

The girls scored 39 points this year, up from 23 last year while the boys moved up two places from last year, scoring 88 points vs. 61 in 2011. Coach Warner was pleased with his Tiger swimmers and is training them hard for upcoming meets against Margaretta and SMCC.

The meet was won by both boys and girls Perkins Pirates.
