Huron River Fest Set for July 13-15

By Lisa yako

As of Monday morning of this week, Huron continued to be filled with sounds of smashing, crashing, and grinding at the ConAgra site. The remaining silos were scheduled to be de-molished by July 6, but inclem-ent weather affected the progress

of the work. Yet, Andy White is confident that the project will be completed by the August 22, 2012 deadline. Once the silos are completely down, which should happen this week, the crane will remain on-site to remove the trolley that is located on the north end of the silos. Accord-ing to documentation submitted

to the City of Huron by the en-gineering firm, Hull & Associates, Inc., “Burdue & Company plans to drop the structure westward and away from the shipping inlet by first placing jacks on the east side of the structure, then cutting supports on the west side of the structure and using the jacks to cause the trolley to begin to lean, then fall westward.” The trolley is scheduled to be removed this week.

Once the silos and trolley are down, work will be far from com-plete. The specifications for the remediation of the ConAgra site call for removal of the building foundations up to 4 feet below ground level. Also, soil reme-diation is needed for three areas where several hundred cubic yards of soil will be excavated to four feet in depth. Confirmatory sampling of the soil on the site will begin the third week of July.

Ed Burdue & Company will remain on site and continue to crush the ruble from the silos and other structures into various

sizes of useable stone. Once this is complete, the site will appear to be an industrial storage facility for some time with all of the recy-cled materials awaiting their final destination. The City will be sell-ing the crushed stone for $3 per ton. Any money generated from the sale of the recycled materials will be reinvested in the site for capital improvements.

Despite anxiety felt by many Huron residents, the ConAgra project is one year ahead of sched-ule and still $300,000 under bud-get. The City is hoping to redirect the remaining funds for other projects at the site, but this will be determined by the terms set forth in the grant. If approved, some of the remaining funds will be used to stabilize the shoreline.

Towards this end, the City will use some of the large pieces of concrete from the demolition. All in all, work is progressing in a timely fashion. For now, Huron residents can only dream of what the ConAgra site will be in the fu-ture.

Dolores HeydingerAug. 31, 1941 — July 7, 2012

Dolores Mary (Kellerman) Heyding-er, age 70, passed away on July 7, 2012, at the University of Toledo Medi-cal Center from complicat ions after a routine procedure. She was surrounded by her husband and sons.

Dolores was born in San-dusky on Aug. 31, 1941, and was a lifelong resident of the area. She attended Holy Angels grammar school and graduated from St. Mary High school in 1959 where she played the school operettas during her ca-reer. She graduated from Mary Manse College in Toledo with her teaching degree in 1964. She then taught first grade and kindergarten in the San-dusky City Schools for twenty-two years, from 1964 until her retirement in 2002, with time out for raising her own family. She also worked for Kid-die Koral during her child rearing years. Children always came first in her life, as she was born to teach.

In her later years, despite her many health challenges, she remained an avid traveler, always keeping a bag packed for spur of the moment trips. She claimed 48 states and most of the Provinces, and had visited Europe and Alaska several times and Africa once. She was active for many years in various church and school min-istries, serving on the St. Peter and Paul School Board, until health is-sues forced her to gradually withdraw. She also enjoyed the outdoors, fam-ily gatherings, and the special apple of her eye, her only granddaughter, Taliesin.

Dolores is survived by her husband of 46 years, Michael, sons Scott of Lexington KY, Marcus of Sandusky, and Charles (Vicki) of Savannah GA, a granddaughter Tali, her brother, Marcus (Carol) Kellerman of Santa Fe NM, an aunt, Annie Parker of Put-in-Bay, numerous cousins, nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents, Marcus and Mary (Parker) Kellerman, an infant son, Joseph Marcus, a brother-in-law, Lau-ren Joseph Heydinger and numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins.

Visitation will be held on Thursday, July 12, from 2 PM until 4 PM and from 6 PM until 8 PM, at the David F. Koch Funeral Home, 520 Colum-bus Ave., Sandusky. A Rosary will be

recited at 8 PM at the funeral home. On Friday morning, July 13, 2012, prayers will be recited at the funeral home at 9:40 AM followed by a Mass of Christian Burial at 10 AM at St. Pe-ter and Paul Church, 510 Columbus Avenue, Sandusky, with Rev. Franklin Peter Kehres officiating. Burial will take place immediately following at Calvary Cemetery, with a luncheon to follow in the parish Gathering Space. The family requests that in lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Scholarship Fund of the Huron High School Alumni As-sociation, Box 112, Huron, OH 44839, or St Peter and Paul Church, 510 Co-lumbus Ave., Sandusky, OH 44870, or to one’s favorite charity.

Your memories and words of com-fort may be expressed to Dolores’s family at davidfkoch.com.

Janet Sprankel March 24, 1944-July 7, 2012

Janet Sprankel, 68, of Huron, died unexpectedly Friday evening, July 7, 2012, in the Firelands Regional Medi-cal Center, Sandusky. She was born March 24, 1944, in Monroeville and was a 1962 graduate of Perkins High School. She was employed as a nurse’s aid at the Lutheran Memorial Home, Sandusky, until her retirement in 1998.

Seville (Shagrin) Young, 99, of Hu-ron, died Thursday, July 5, 2012, at a local health care facility in Sandusky.

She was born June 29, 1913, in Cleve-land, daughter of the late Adolph H. and MayZ. Shagrin. She gradu-ated from Cleveland Heights High School and from Western Reserve University’s Flora Stone Mather Col-lege with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Music. A gifted classical pianist, she earned a Master of Arts Degree in Music from Western Reserve Uni-versity. After marrying Don J. Young Jr. in June, 1937, and moving to Nor-walk, she taught school, gave private music lessons, tutored, and worked as a children’s and school librarian. She received a Masters Degree in Li-brary Science from Western Reserve University and was elected to mem-bership in Beta Phi Mu, National Library Science Honorary Society. During her lengthy professional ca-reer, she taught in Norwalk Public Schools and was children’s librar-ian at Norwalk Public Library. She was instrumental in cataloguing and organizing the library for Firelands Museum at the time the museum re-located from its quarters in the base-ment of the Norwalk Public Library building. She worked as a school li-brarian, choral director, and English teacher at Monroeville High School. After her husband was appointed to the Federal Judiciary, they relocated to Toledo where she took a position as school librarian at Bowsher High School. Both as an individual and, in the company of her husband, she was active in her community. She devoted her significant talents and abilities to various philanthropic endeavors. She was a lover of the arts and humanities. She was a gifted pianist and musician and tireless mentor to the countless numbers of young people who were graced with her presence in their lives. She is survived by her daughter Patri-cia Young Alverson, of Chattanooga, Tenn.; daughter-in-law Karen Young, of Sandusky; four grandchildren; 10 great-grandchildren; and nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her husband the Honorable Don J. Young, U.S. District Court Judge, Northern District of Ohio, Western Division; her son Dr. Don Young, of Sandusky; and brother Col. R.A. Shagrin, of Seattle. Private graveside Services will take place at Woodlawn Cemetery, Norwalk. The Rev. Roger Skelley-Watts, pastor of the United Methodist Church, Huron, will offici-ate. Arrangements are being handled by Foster Funeral Home & Crema-tory, Huron. In lieu of flowers, do-nations may be made to a charity of choice. Condolences may be shared at fosterfh.com.

Gary and Georgiana Sherz, Garcia Drive, have a flower garden with lots of peren-nials and old favorites. Their flower beds are bordered with many interesting and bright low growing blooms that frame taller perennials. Whimsical garden art, a water feature, and rescued stones add to the beauty of the garden. Mammoth hostas, great visitors to the home of Dan and Kathy Holtz, James Street. Pink cone-flowers, hanging baskets of annuals, pot-ted trees and Japanese maples comple-ment the ruby rose bricks trimming the house. Beds of dark green ivy are trained to surround the house instead of mulch. A party paradise greets you in the back yard with an outdoor kitchen, pool, fire-place and lounging area.

In this garden next to Richard Missler’s Concord Court apartment, you will find

robust vegetable plants growing. The gar-den is edged with large stones and annual flowers.

The garden of Robert and Mary Mess-ersmith, Lee St. is only a year old. After many years of gardening at this site, their house burned and almost all you see is new. They were able to rescue some of their previous plantings. The new grey and white house has a beautiful deck and terrace. Some fantastic stones and whimsical artifacts mingle with annuals, new perennial plantings and rescued old favorites.

The home of Scott and Teresa Crabtree, North West Street has a dramatic sweep of native and ornamental landscaping that drops into a ravine below and el-evated gazebo. A rain fence, which is a tall arbor with water falling into a sub-merged pit, is centered with a fireplace and seating. A beautiful Japanese maple greets you when you visit the garden of Ralph and Penny Seward, Fair Road. A trip through the gate leads to a patterned concrete patio and nearby pergola. In the back of the garden is another shady nook with plants, seating, a water feature and flowers. The garden also has raised veg-etable beds, and a beehive which is a new venture for Ralph.

A small garden greets the visitor as they approach the home of David and Vicki Cronk, West Maple Street. A long the way to the larger back yard garden which has many lovely perennials and a cozy seat-ing area, you will see beautiful hanging baskets, statuary, and other interesting plantings.

Students visited the Huron Police Department and the Fire Department during the two-week Safety Town program sponsored by Huron Parks and Recreation. The program teaches safety in a variety of settings to chil-dren entering kindergarten in the fall. Local high school and middle school students volunteer their time to help with the program, which “graduated” 65 proud five-year and six year old students on June 21st. Our thanks to the Huron Eagles and St. Peter Church for their sponsorship, as well as the many Huron businesses whose dona-tions help to support Safety Town.

EHOVE and several local communi-ty members celebrated the first STEP UP graduation. Twelve graduates from various locations marked the success-ful end of their participation in the 14-week program at EHOVE Adult Career Center. Graduates include: Larry Bethea: Sandusky Julie Blankenship: Sandusky Gina Cisco: Norwalk Matt Conley: Huron Sherrie Harper: Norwalk Estela Luna: Willard Carol Mossa: Wakeman Joey Patterson: Monroeville Cheryl Reinbolt: Milan Brittany Sandridge: Sandusky Iantha Skelton: Sandusky Jose Zamano: Norwalk

STEP UP helps people in the com-munity gain confidence and basic employability skills, and improve time management. This free pro-gram features a holistic approach and allows each person to focus on indi-vidual education and career goals.

EHOVE joined forces with Nor-walk City Schools ABLE and BGSU Firelands College to help assist local workers through this program, which was funded by a grant from the Ohio Board of Regents. Participants were taught a variety of skills and studying techniques to enhance their career plans including: Math, Reading, Em-ployability Skills, Teamwork, Learn-ing how to locate information, Self-Esteem and Confidence.

EHOVE’S Adult Counselor/Student Services Coordinator Deb Presser is very excited about the success of this program and says another grant is being pursued to fund another class for Spring 2013. “More than half of our graduates decided on a career path and will enroll in Surgical Tech-nology, Massage Therapy, Industrial Technician and Dietary Manager, just to name a few,” said Presser.

Matt Conley (Huron) graduated from STEP UP with a Perfect Atten-dance Award, and his future goal is to enroll in the Network Technician Program. “It’s a free program and I

definitely would recommend this to other people,” said Conley. “The in-structors cover a lot of content. It’s a great way to prepare for any kind of education.”

Joey Patterson (Monroeville) is in-spired by this program and plans on enrolling in the Surgical Technolo-gist Program offered at EHOVE this fall. “This experience motivated me to change careers,” said Patterson, who was voted class speaker for the ceremony. “I definitely sharpened my math skills and communication skills. I learned how to work well with groups of people, and learned a lot about self-confidence.”

“I would absolutely recommend this program to others,” said Patterson. “I think this is a very positive approach to making a career decision.”

“What a celebration,” said EHOVE Director of Adult Education Viki Kaszonyi. “I would like to thank our first class of graduates. You all have been an amazing class. The students have worked hard; really challenging themselves and step-ping out into some untried territory.” “I realized I met a very caring and generous group of people immedi-ately,” said Patterson. “It has been a growing experience. We all walked away with a lot including friendships made. There is so much potential in this group and in this program.”

Each graduate had a chance to re-ceive a $300 scholarship to use to-ward EHOVE or BGSU Firelands. To qualify, students must have a 90% at-tendance and a 78% completion of all assignments.

The next STEP UP Program is slated to begin Spring 2013. If you or some-one you know may be interested in this program, applications are avail-able in the EHOVE Adult Ed Office or the ABLE Program in Norwalk. For more information, call EHOVE Adult Career Center at 419-499-4663 x280.

Stepping up with confidence

(L-R) Front row: Jose Zamano, Sherrie Harper, Gina Cisco, Julie Blankenship, Carol Mossa, Joey Patterson. Back Row: Brittany Sandridge, Cheryl Reinbolt, Matt Conley, Larry Bethea, Estela Luna, Iantha Skelton.

EHOVE Adult Career Center’s Culinary Arts program includes classroom work, hands-on training and an internship. Top-ics include basic and advanced cooking, basic baking, nutrition, culi-nary math, purchasing, kitchen management, and menu planning and design. In addition, stu-dents receive industry-mandated ServSafe Food Safety and Responsible Alcohol Service certifi-cation.

If you or someone you know is interested in enrolling in the next EHOVE Adult Career Center Culinary Arts program, starting in August, call Beth Funk at 419-499-4663 ext. 313.

Two EHOVE Adult Career Center Culi-nary Arts graduates traveled to Columbus last month to take the American Culinary Federation (ACF) exam. The assessment for certification practical testing is divided into four general areas: Safety and Sanita-tion Skills, Organization, Craftsmanship Skills and Finished Product Skills.

Each candidate’s skills are evaluated during the ex-amination period through frequent monitoring by the evaluators. The practical examination is scored over-all as pass or fail. Points are calculated in various areas and a total numerical score is calculated.

EHOVE graduates Den-ese Hall and Regina Meyer, both from Norwalk, passed their written and practical ACF exam and have earned the distinction of Certified Culinarian. EHOVE Culi-nary Program Coordinator Beth Funk is very proud of her students. “This test shows their level of skill and knowledge by a profes-sional organization, which is world-wide recognition,” said Funk.

Hall and Meyer came face-

to-face with ten chefs where they worked hard to demonstrate their skills and knowl-edge. “I put in a lot of hard work, determi-

nation and passion into this exam,” said Hall.

Both women, who graduated from EHOVE’S Culinary Program on May 24, feel very proud of their accomplishments. “It was the greatest thing I could have achieved,” said Meyer. “I never dreamed my life would be going in this direc-

tion. I am so proud and elated that all of my hard

work has paid off.” “This certification is a great accomplish-

ment and something proud to add on my resume,” said Hall.

Hall and Meyer say they received plenty of support from their instructors at EHOVE, family, friends and John Loose, Director of Dietary Services at Fisher Titus Hospital.

“Achieving this level of certification is great,” said Funk.

Whether you agree with his politics or not, it was pretty exciting to have President Barack Obama visit the area on July 5. This is definitely not an ev-eryday occurrence. A sitting United States President has not traveled to Erie County, Ohio, since Harry Tru-man visited in 1948. As is to be ex-pected, the Presidential visit required cooperation from many members of the area’s safety forces. Each Depart-ment involved was given their in-structions about 48 hours in advance of the President’s visit. Both the Hu-ron Police Department and the Hu-ron Fire Department were involved in this event. Five officers from the Huron Police Department assisted the Sandusky Police Department in providing perimeter security during the event. Huron Police Chief, Bob Lippert, was one of the Huron offi-cers who assisted the Sandusky Police Department. Chief Lippert had the

privilege of providing inner perimeter security. He was assigned to Wash-ington Park between East Washington Row and East Washington Street be-tween Columbus Avenue and Wayne

Street. Chief Lippert’s post was across the street from the President.

As the Presidential motorcade left Sandusky and headed to Parma, Ohio, for the next campaign stop, other safety forces secured the roadways. Safety forces could be found at every overpass and median crossing along

the highway and every entrance and exit ramp. The Huron Fire Depart-ment assisted in providing traffic con-trol on State Route 2 as the Presiden-tial motorcade traveled eastbound.

Though no major problems occurred, minor issues were encountered, most-ly involving indi-viduals unaware that certain areas were closed to the general public.

Neither the City of Huron, nor any other city, was com-

pensated for the time spent protect-ing the President. However, Chief Lippert stated “I think most of the of-ficers involved viewed this as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to pro-vide security for the President of the United States. We all felt honored and privileged to be a part of this event.”

Focus On HuronBy Lisa yako

The changes to Huron’s landscape and infrastructure continue. In addi-tion to ConAgra, there are a variety of projects underway around town and at different stages of completion, and others yet to begin. According to City Manager, Andy White, “A major issue confronting the city and challenging its future development is the lack of a downtown district and disconnect-ed transportation system.” To rem-edy these issues, the City has taken a pro-active approach to resolve and improve current conditions. Here is an update on the status of a few select projects:

FabensPark- One thousand tons of stone from ConAgra will be used for a resurfacing project at the park. Oth-er improvements will also be made. Further updates will follow at a later date.

State Route 13 Resurfacing- The resurfacing of this road is complete. Later this year or early next year, side-walks will be installed along the east side of the road. The City invested $128,000, 10% of the total cost, into this project, while the State of Ohio funded the remainder.

Pier- Work at the Pier will continue throughout this summer and beyond to improve accessibility and views of the lighthouse. Eventually, the spoil site will be seeded with grass, and

trees will be planted. The Huron Parks and Recreation Department will work with the Erie Metroparks to establish trails throughout the site.

Cleveland Road Bridge- The State of Ohio is funding this resurfacing/re-decking project. The City received grants to install new, more decorative lighting and to redirect the wiring. By the end of the summer, traffic flow along Cleveland Road from Berlin Road to Huron Street will be perma-nently reduced to one lane of traffic in each direction. An 8-foot wide bike lane will run in each direction.

Master Plan- The City is working with City Architecture to develop a Master Plan for Huron. This plan is expected to be presented to the Plan-

ning Commission on July 12 and will be available for public comment shortly thereafter.

Bike Path Surfacing- The City has been awarded a $215,000 grant to im-prove the bike path that runs parallel to Route 6 from Huron High School to Woodlands Intermediate School. The path will be paved, and lighting will be installed along the path. This project likely will be completed next spring.

Main Street Reconnection- The City has received a commitment of funding for the reconnection of North Main Street. Much planning needs to take place before this project can begin, and the funding will not be available until 2014 at the earliest.
