VERMILION – One of the fi rst responsibilities of new Mayor Eileen Bulan was to appoint staff to the positions of director of public service, city law director and city en-gineer. The appointments were approved by Vermilion City Council at its organizational meeting on Monday, Jan. 4. Bulan will carry out the responsibilities of the City’s safety director.

The Mayor’s appointees are as follow:Director of Public Service: Darin M. Gillis

Gillis possesses extensive experi-ence in multiple areas of manage-ment, operations, fi nance and ac-counting for companies ranging from $200 million to $17 billion operations. His comprehensive experience includes strategic plan-ning, business development, facility and land development, labor and overhead analysis control, union negotiations, vendor negotiations and executive management.

Gillis received an MBA from Loyola University and a BBA from Western Michigan University. He was a vice-president for KTM North America, a recognized world leader in the power sports industry. He served a variety of positions for Ford Motor Company including plant site controller, special studies manager, senior fi nance manager of product development and fi nancial analyst.

served on the Board of Directors of Elyria Hockey Club and Ohio Flames.

City Law Director: Kenneth S. Stumphauzer, Stum-phauzer & O’Toole

Born in Lorain, Stumphauzer re-ceived his BA from Ohio University, graduating cum laude in 1967. He subsequently received his law de-gree from Akron University and was admitted to the Ohio Bar in 1976 and the U.S. District Court, North-ern District of Ohio in 1980. He is a member of the Lorain County and American Bar Associations. His practice areas include business law, public sector law, civil litigation,

and business and corporate succession planning.Stumphauzer O’Toole is a general civil practice fi rm that

City Engineer: Lynn S. Miggins, KS Associates

Miggins, P.E., is president of KS Associates, a civil engineering and land surveying fi rm. She has made substantial progress in grow-ing the business by focusing on core values such as respect for her employees and giving back to the community. Miggins lives in Ver-milion, is a member of the Lorain

County Workforce Invest-ment Board, the Lorain County Chamber of Com-merce Board, and is on the board of directors of EMH Regional Medical Center. In 2005, she was honored as one of the Top 10 Women Business Owners in Cleve-land. Miggins has more than 25 years of experience in all aspects of project de-velopment.

The company works in partnership with government entities to pro-vide solutions that make the best use of public resources - helping cities plan for and implement projects that provide long-term viability and sustainability for the community.

VERMILION – It was standing room only at the swear-ing-in ceremony for Mayor-elect Eileen Bulan and a Ver-milion City Council when they took the oath of offi ce Dec 31 against the backdrop of the historic Town Hall.

The Pledge of Allegiance was recited, and an invocation was given by Rev. Heidi Strickler. The mayor’s oath was administered by the Honorable W. Zack Dolyk, Vermilion Municipal Court Judge. Mayor Bulan received a standing ovation from the audience.

President of Council, Fred Ostrander; Council At Large, Heidi Strickler; Ward One, Scott Sherwood; Ward Two, Frank Loucka; Ward Three, Steve Holovacs; Ward Four, Barb Brady and Ward Five, Madio Rossini were then sworn into offi ce.

Bulan thanked the audience, stating she was over-whelmed by the show of support. She said that together, the community would build a better Vermilion. She re-cited her favorite quote by Margaret Mead: “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.”

President of Council Ostrander stated in his speech that City Council will work together and work with the mayor to move the city forward.

During her invocation, Strickler prayed for the new may-or, her family, city council and the City of Vermilion.

Bulan also thanked Janet Ruh and volunteers for orga-nizing the ceremony, and Manny Legacé for use of the Old Town Hall. The Mayor said the building held special meaning for her, as it was where she worked many years in different capacities for the City of Vermilion.

“If anyone would have told me then that I’d be the mayor, I wouldn’t have believed it,” Bulan said. “It was never part of my plans.”

Bulan grew up in Cleveland and is a fi rst generation American, with her parents emigrating from County Mayo, Ireland. She moved to Vermilion when she married. She at-tended Lorain County Community College and went back to school for her degree when her children were in college. She graduated from David Myers College in 1996 with a bachelor’s degree in business management.

Bulan began working for the City of Vermilion as clerk of council in 1980. She then moved to the administrative offi ces in 1994 under Mayor Elizabeth Sheehe and was the director of public service from 1996 until December 2005. As well as being service director, she served as the recy-cling coordinator, affi rmative action offi cer, and enterprise zone administrator for the city. She also served as the city’s representative to Greater Erie Marketing (Economic De-velopment Committee of Erie County); the Erie Regional

Planning Commission; and the Metropolitan Planning Organization in Erie County. She was also a grant writer for the city.

Bulan has also served as grant consultant for the Ver-milion Port Authority and was responsible for bringing in funds to develop the McGarvey’s Landing project. She has written grants for Ritter Public Library and St. Mary School.

Bulan is a graduate of the Cleveland State Leadership Academy, as well as the Lorain County Leadership Class. She has served on the executive board of the Vermilion Ro-tary Club and on the board of the Vermilion Chamber of Commerce. Under her leadership, Vermilion received mil-lions of dollars in downtown revitalization grants and she helped the city receive Main Street status.

Bulan was a Lorain County Comprehensive Plan Com-mittee Member; Committee Member of Bike & Pedestri-an Paths in Erie County; involved with the Erie Regional Planning Comprehensive Plan for Vermilion; worked cooperatively with Ohio Department of Transportation and Vermilion Township; and served on the Vermilion Township Board of Appeals. She has served on St. Mary’s Pastoral Council; the board of Family Health Services of Erie County; and the Sandusky-Erie County Community Foundation.

Bulan and her husband, Richard, have two adult children, Rich and Christy, and four grandsons, Jack, Peter, Spencer and Caden. The couple also owns “Bulan’s Boatyard,” a marina in Vermilion.

I was honored in November, 2006 when the citizens of Erie County gave me the opportunity to serve them as their County Commissioner. After consulting with my campaign manager and my best friend, my wife Judy, I have decided to run for re-election in 2010.

This past year has been a very diffi cult year for all govern-mental agencies, both big and small. I have been a member of a very solid team, our Erie County employees. We have been able to balance the budget in 2009 under some very trying times that we fi nd our country in today. We have taken measures to trim the excesses we have lived with for too many years here in Erie County and we have started paying down our debt. We were one of the few counties in the State of Ohio that received a Moody’s A1 rating due to our vigilance with our fi nances in 2009. I will continue to be a full time County Commissioner and I will work for the betterment of all Erie County Citizens. We have many projects in the works that I have been involved with that I want to see through to their fruition, such as the NASA in-frastructure projects that are on the drawing board. Work-ing together as a team, we can make it happen.

My forty years in business as a senior member of the management team of the worlds largest secondary alumi-num company gives me a background that has brought about many positive changes these past three years in Erie County government. I look forward to this coming year and the next term starting in 2011.

Do You Love Kids?

MARY STRAYER, MASTER GARDENER

The snow is fl ying and it’s downright cold outside most days here in Northern Ohio, but there is always something gar-deners could/should be doing with fl ow-ers while planning for the next season’s blooms.

First of all, to get in the mood, bring some color into your home and surroundings. Purchase a bouquet of fl owers, plant some paper whites or crocus bulbs, or simply head to the greenhouse and purchase an orchid.

Orchids, people ask? Many of the new orchids are la-beled ice cube orchids. This means that you simply put four ice cubes on the soil once a week, and let them melt, and the watering problems are conquered. So far, I have used this method with 18 of my orchids – all sitting in the east facing windows in broken light from a plum tree out-side the window without leaves. It has worked well. I have blooming plants this way almost year-round, and most of the orchid blossoms last a month or better. In fact, I had one orchid that was blooming on the same stem for 19 months. Hint: Avoid cold drafts and areas around heating

vents. My orchids are planted in bark that is mixed with a tiny bit of soil. Bark alone is hard for the plant to grasp when newly planted, and just a bit of soil makes it easier for them to begin growing. Web sites I use are orchids.com, and the Royal Orchid Society site in Fla. Both send wonderful orchids, if you choose not to shop locally. So give them a try, it’s worth the effort.

Now there are a couple of things you need to be doing for sure this month. Get any seeds you want ordered ASAP, because sometimes the seed companies sell out, and you won’t get that special packet.

Another fl ower to try is the pansies, which come into greenhouses and nurseries about this time each year. When you see them out, they are usually ready to plant at home, unless there is a pile of snow on the ground. If there’s snow, just wait for the thaw and plant. When planted, try to deadhead, removing recently spent blooms, and trim off discolored leaves. Then, please, water with all-purpose liq-uid fertilizer, according to package directions. Pansies love sunshine; at least fi ve hours a day of full sun. The plants will continue to grow and bloom, until the summer’s heat forces them into dormancy, where they will stay until it cools off again next fall. Thanks for reading, and Happy Gardening.

Gardening with Mary

Don’t Discount February for Flowers

The Ohio Department of Natural Resources welcomes Ohioans and out-of-state guests to celebrate the cold days of winter with an ar-ray of outdoor events and activities across the state.

Ohio’s 74 state parks are offering dozens of fun, family-oriented outdoor events this winter. From Malabar Farms State Park in Richland County to Lake Hope State Park in Vinton County, there will be plenty of winter recreation including cross country skiing, win-ter hikes and sledding. These family favorites are highlighted this year by some new features and events.

The anticipation for substantial snowfall al-ways runs high this time of year. Be ready for winter fun once the white blanket of snow ar-rives. This year, sled down one of the thrilling hills found at many of Ohio’s state parks. Each region boasts several locations. Or, join a pre-scheduled winter hike, but remember to come prepared for cold weather by dressing in lay-ers and wearing appropriate footwear. To fi nd a state park near you, visit www.ohiodnr.com/parks.

There’s plenty of action for those who like to spend their outdoor time hunting or trap-ping. Depending on the game species, Ohio’s furbearer hunting and trapping season is un-der way or will soon begin. Safety is the No.

1 issue when entering the woods to hunt. Hunter-education courses are in full swing this time of year with courses being offered all around Ohio. All fi rst-time hunting license buyers in Ohio must complete a hunter educa-tion course. To learn more, visit www.ohiodnr.com/wildlife.

With Ohio’s ever changing temperatures, an ice fi shing season can come and go as quickly as a trophy fi sh at the end of your line. Because of the need for consecutive days of freezing weather, it’s hard to say when – or if – safe ice fi shing conditions will surface. Savvy anglers know that preparation is the key to grabbing their chance to enjoy this fl eeting fi shing op-portunity or else to be left, quite literally, out in the cold. To learn more about ice fi shing in the Buckeye state, visit www.ohiodnr.com/wildlife.

Like your winter getaways a little warmer? Ohioans are invited to enjoy the comforts of the lodge rooms or cozy cottages at Ohio’s state parks. Special packages featuring discounted rates make winter state park getaways even more appealing. To learn more, visit www.ohiodnr.com/parks.

For more information about ODNR events and activities, visit www.ohiodnr.com and click on Winter Escape. Additional winter events can be found at www.discoverohio.com or by calling 1-800-BUCKEYE.

As the Christmas break continues for the Huron School District, winter sports seasons carry on. For a Varsity Boys Basketball team that has suffered from a few years of los-ing, they continue to work to fi nd an identity and develop consistency. Earlier in the season the team seemed to burst out of the gates against opponents, but would then strug-gle offensively the rest of the game. However, last week the trend seemed to completely reverse. Huron would start slow and then try to come back to claim victory. During

The Margaretta Polar Bears visited Huron High over the Christmas Break to take on the struggling Lady Tigers. The Bears also have a young squad learning how to play the game, although they were picked to fi nish above Huron this year. As Margaretta teams tend to do, they came out pressing. But Huron would hit the fi rst two buckets to take a 4-0 lead. The press did eventually create turnovers and traveling calls that allowed the Polar Bears to go on a 12-4 run and take a 12-8 lead with :13 seconds left in the open-ing quarter. Lauren Volz’s last second three closed the gap to 12-11 at the close of the period.

Margaretta opened the next quarter on an 8-2 run. Hu-ron sophomore Sierra Ward would hit two free throws and a fi eld goal to keep the game from getting out of hand at halftime. Still, the Polar Bears had a 28-20 lead. The third period saw very little scoring from either team. Follow-ing two points from Tiger guard Caroline Estel, Huron

the latest two-game stretch against Norwalk St. Paul and Oak Harbor, the Tigers fi nished 1-1. Still, the important thing is the team record is 4-3 (3-1 in SBC play).

On Monday night, three of the fall state fi nalists were honored including Huron’s volleyball team and Norwalk St. Paul’s football team when the Flyers came to town. Norwalk shot out to a 17-7 lead and continued to hold down the Tigers throughout the fi rst half and part way into the third period. Huron then launched into a 12-1 run and a 9-0 run late in the game to pull out the 45-40 win. Post Steve Bowers led the Tigers with 14 while Brian Bollen-bacher added 11 of his own.

Following the previous night’s energy draining come-back, Coach James was concerned that his team might suffer a let-down as they traveled all the way out to Oak Harbor. Not sure if it was fatigue or the fact the Oak Har-bor played a deliberate, very patient offense that helped the Rockets control tempo and outscoring the Tigers during the fi rst quarter,12-6. Three of the fi rst four Oak Har-bor fi eld goals were three pointers. With 4:22 left in the fi rst half, Huron trailed 18-9. Coach Bobby James called time and instituted a full-court press to initiate action. It seemed to wake the slumbering Tigers who went on a 13-4 run. Led by steals and lay-ups by Volz and Bollenbacher, Huron closed out the half trailing just 24-22.

During the third quarter, Zach Grieves immediately gave the Tigers a 25-24 lead with a long three pointer. For the remainder of the period, scoring was limited, but the play was not necessarily sloppy. Both teams were very patient on offense. With 30 seconds left in the third quarter, the Rock-ets hit a three to take a 34-28 lead. The fi nal quarter was played in the same manner. Midway through the fourth, Tiger center Brandon Poorman hit two straight buckets to get Huron again within two points, 35-37. Oak Harbor called time out with 3:25 left. The Rockets came out and made an 8-2 run that essentially put the game away. Bow-ers and Bollenbacher would hit late three-pointers, but Oak Harbor hit just enough free throws to stay ahead for good. Huron missed their three fi nal shots and fell by the fi nal score, 48-43. Zach Grieves had 11 points and Steve Bowers contributed 9 points.

The more Huron plays, the more they grow as a team. To win the SBC, they must level off those peaks and inexplica-ble valleys. The team seems to be able to play hard-nose de-fense when needed. While balance is often times a blessing, they must try to fi nd that someone on the team who can step forward to become that go-to guy late in tight games.

Huron sixth-grader Cody Myers fi nished in second place in the Heavy Weight Novice division at the recent “Biddy Beast in the East Team Tournament” run by the East Tole-do Wrestling Club. The event was held at Anderson Arena on the campus of Bowling Green State University. Cody weighed in at 136 pounds in a category that went up to 160 pounds. Participants came from Ohio, Indiana, Michigan and Pennsylvania to wrestle in the program, which is for kids 12 and under.

On Saturday, Dec. 12, nearly 200 students participated in Mount Vernon Nazarene University’s winter commence-ment ceremonies. Huron native Brent Slisher was one of those students, graduating summa cum laude with a Bach-elor of Science in mathematics and a minor in computer science. During his college career, Slisher was named to the Dean’s List for fi ve semesters. In the summer of 2009, he completed a 10-week internship at NASA’s Glenn Research Center.

The 2007 graduate of Huron High School is the son of Kevin and Elaine Slisher of Huron.

Mount Vernon Nazarene University is a private, four-year,

intentionally Christian-teaching university for traditional age students, graduate students and working adults.

MVNU offers an affordable education to more than 2,600 students from 25 states and eight countries/U.S. territories. Learn more at www.mvnu.edu.

Huron Native Graduates From MVNU

only trailed by three, 28-25. But the Lady Tigers were held scoreless the rest of the quarter until senior Melissa Mo-berg hit a jumper just before the buzzer sounded. Marga-retta was up 34-27.

During the fi nal period, the closest Huron could get to taking the lead was when Lauren Volz would rebound a free-throw miss and put it in to make it 38-33. The Tigers went ice cold and would only score one basket (a Moberg jump shot) through the fi nal fi ve minutes of regulation. Volz fi nished the game with a double-double (10 points, 10 rebounds) while junior Devon Koenig had eight points, four steals, and 11 rebounds. Sierra Ward contributed six points and four rebounds to the Tiger cause.
