The weather could not have been more beau-tiful as hundreds of children descended upon Admiral’s Pointe for the annual Easter “Egg”-stravaganza event held March 27.
The annual event features a unique format: Children bring their own empty Easter baskets, and walk through the facility, as residents line the halls handing out candy-filled eggs. Adding to the excitement, some of the eggs had a ‘Gold-en Ticket’ in them that was used to redeem spe-cial prizes. Children had fun searching for the tickets. The event also had a drawing contest, games, refreshments, and was highlighted by a
visit from the Easter Bunny. Children were able to get their pictures taken with the Easter Bunny, and the facility coordi-nated emailing the photos to parents.
The event has become an annual tradition, with each year seeing increased attendance. Administrator Amy Donaldson said: “It was a thrill to meet so many people and see all those smiling faces; we are truly honored to be a part of this community.”
Plans are already under way for next year’s event, which will remain free and open to the public.
Northern Ohio Medical Specialists (NOMS) announces ten internationally-acclaimed leaders to speak at The Chapel in Huron in May.
Community business leaders can ac-cess the knowledge and experience of these leaders by attending the Chick-fil-A Leadercast at The Chapel in Huron on May 7, 2010.
The Chick-fil-A Leadercast is a one-day leadership training event broadcast LIVE from Atlanta, Ga to hundreds of host sites throughout the nation, including Huron. Speakers for the event include Jim Col-lins, Tony Dungy, John C Maxwell, Ben Carson, Chip Heath, Jim Goodnight, Ed Bastian, Connie Podesta, Mark Sanborn and Steve Uzzell.
The idea for the Leadercast was con-
ceived ten years ago by Dr. John C Max-well, “New York Times” best-selling author and speaker. He wanted to com-bine his influential voice in the commu-nity with his desire to reach leaders at the heart level.
This year’s program will focus on how individual and teams can be the one to make a difference at work, at home and in the community. The ten speakers will speak on subjects such as connecting with others, standing out amid the com-petition, ideas for creative problem solv-ing, leading in challenging circumstanc-es, creating strong team cultures and how to avoid, detect and reverse decline.
This event is co-sponsored by The Cha-pel and NOMS Healthcare. For more in-formation, call 419-627-0208.

Firelands Regional Medical Center an-nounces that Joan Did-ion has been selected as the “Beacon of Light” Award winner for March; and that Kathy Chestner is April’s recipient.
The Firelands Beacon of Light is a program developed to recognize team members who ex-emplify and exhibit the values of Firelands in the areas of service, integrity, respect, unity and stewardship, along with their commit-ment as a member of our community.
Didion, LPN/IV is a nurse on the Acute In-patient Rehabilitation Unit at Firelands and
displays all the qualities for which Firelands stands. Her nomination read: “Joan treats every patient as though she has only one – them. She goes above and beyond in every-thing she does. Not only does Joan provide outstanding service to her patients, she is always willing to listen/help/laugh with a co-worker. She always has time to help no matter how busy or behind she is. Joan is amazing at what she does, and the help she gives to the re-hab floor is beyond what words can say.”
Didion has been an employee at Firelands
for 31 years. She resides in Sandusky with her husband Tom and has two adult children.
Chestner is a rehab tech, PT/OT at Firelands and was also chosen as a person who displays all the qualities for which Firelands stands. Her nomination read: “Kathy constantly ini-tiates services for the patient to make their stay more comfortable. She exhibits concern for those less fortunate and looks for ways to help them and is always willing to assist not only PT/OT but nursing with patient care to make their jobs easier and safer.”
Outside of work, Chestner is involved in her church, donating much of her time and talent to fund-raising efforts. She has been an employee at Firelands for 28 years. She resides in Vickery with her husband, Wayne, and daughter.

The Huron Varsity baseball team recently opened their 2010 season by hosting Bellevue at Fabens Park. After the first two innings, the game was scoreless. But in the top of the third, the visitors rattled off seven runs to blow the game open. At the end of five innings, the Tigers were defeated 10-0. The only hit for Hu-ron came from catcher Joe Ramey. The starting pitcher for the home team was Troy Delamatre, who was later relieved by Kyle Koehler.
It could be a long season for the
young and inexperienced Tigers, who finished 2-22 last year, and its new head coach, Dustin Kastor. “We are looking to instill a positive at-titude in our players. There are go-ing to be games when our youth is apparent, but improving and learn-ing from our mistakes will be a ma-jor point of emphasis this year. On the other hand, there will be games when we bring it together and play like I know we are capable of as a team,” said a hopeful Coach Kastor.
The team returns just six letter-
men, but there are some bright spots. Delamatre and Drew Enderle are sophomore pitchers who show promise. When one pitches, the other plays shortstop. The team captains are seniors Ramey and outfielder/pitcher Koehler. Junior Brandon Johnson is extremely ver-satile and can play well wherever he is needed, according to Kastor. Thus far, the team has been very coach-able, with a positive attitude com-bined with a strong desire to win.
On a beautiful spring evening fol-lowing a glorious Easter weekend, the Lakota Raiders came to Fabens Park to take on a short-handed Tiger team. Huron was missing several varsity players who were on spring break with their families. Thus the home team was forced to play with members of the JV squad. Still, up until the final inning, the Tigers played a tight, spir-ited game.
Huron’s starting pitcher was sopho-more Drew Enderle, whose father, Joe, is currently serving his country in Iraq. Enderle opened the game by al-lowing the first three Lakota batters to load the bases. But he quickly stifled the threat and allowed only a single run.
Offensively, Enderle helped his own cause by scoring on a Troy Delamatre double to tie the game at one. In the top of the second, the Tigers again got in trouble early, but were able to hold the damage to only one run.
In the bottom of the third, Enderle doubled, advanced on Delamatre’s
sacrifice fly, and then tied the game at two on a passed ball. Junior Ian Mc-cready picked up two RBIs on a base hit to center field that gave Huron a 4-2 lead. Then the next three in-nings became a pitchers dual between
Enderle and Hoffman of Lakota. Both pitched all seven innings and Drew
delivered seven strikeouts.As Lakota came up to bat at the start
of the final inning, their first two bat-ters singled. A costly Huron error al-lows the Raiders to score and put men on first and third base with no outs. A deep sacrifice fly brings in the ty-ing run while advancing runners to second and third. And like a déjà vu moment, another sacrifice fly brings in the deciding run that gives the visi-tors a 5-4 win.
Coach Dustin Kastor said: “This was a tough loss. When leading in the final inning you expect to win. We made a few errors that really cost us in the end. Drew Enderle did a great job after the first inning keeping the Lakota hitters off balance and out of rhythm. Once again our gloves didn’t show up when we needed them most. (six errors) I saw a great deal of im-provement at the plate and the players really worked Hoffman to deep counts and forced him to throw a lot of pitch-es. We will learn from this experience and continue to grow as a team.”

Sophomore Drew Enderle (red) scores the Tigers first run on the game.
Senior Hayley Corso pitched an excellent game last week against an always tough NOL opponent from Bel-levue. She gave up six hits and only one unintentional walk while mowing down 12 Redskin batters over seven innings of work. “Hayley threw a great game tonight. She had solid defense behind her to get the key out when needed,” praised head coach Mike Everman.
The Tiger bats that were so silent recently in an 11 in-ning, 1-0 no-hit loss to Sandusky, certainly came alive against Bellevue. After three innings, Huron was up 3-0. Bellevue finally scored a run in the bottom of the fourth, but the Tigers responded with two more runs in the top of fifth to take complete control of the game. The offense was led by shortstop Lauren Volz, who went 3 for 4, with two doubles, a single, a stolen base, two RBIs, and also scored two runs. Senior Melissa Moberg also scored two runs and added a stolen base. Renee St. Clair went 1 for 2 with a walk, but that single brought home two RBIs. Corso aided her own cause as well with an RBI and a sacrifice bunt.
“I told the girls we needed to be more aggressive at the plate and they were,” said Coach Everman. “We strung together some key hits at the right time. A few walks on their part and we took advantage of them. It was a good team win today.”

Firelands Regional Medical Center has recently been ver-ified as a Level III Trauma Center by the Verification Re-view Committee, an ad hoc committee of the Committee on Trauma of the American College of Surgeons. For the past year, Firelands Regional Medical Center operated as a full Level III trauma center under the provisional status, and became verified after successful completion of an on-site consultation/survey by the ACS.
“This achievement reinforces the fact that Firelands Re-gional Medical Center is dedicated to providing optimal care for our emergency patients,” said Sheri Johnson, BSN, RN, Trauma Program Manager at Firelands. “Having a quality trauma program available to our local community is crucial considering that trauma is the leading cause of death among Americans under 44 years of age with the leading causes of trauma being motor vehicle accidents, falls, and assaults.”
To receive verification status, Firelands had to meet the essential criteria established by the American College of Surgeons’ Committee on Trauma’s Resources for Optimal Care of the Injured Patient manual. During an on-site re-view, the interviewers evaluated the emergency depart-ment, radiology, operating room, intensive care unit, blood bank, and rehabilitation department.
Firelands Level III Trauma Center is designed to serve the area communities that do not have immediate access to a Level I or Level II trauma center. There are four levels of trauma centers, with a Level III trauma center providing prompt assessment, resuscitation, emergency operations and stabilization of the trauma patient, as well as arranging for possible transfer to a facility that can provide a higher level of definitive trauma care, should the situation call for that. In addition, general surgeons are required to be in a Level III facility.
Norwalk – The American Heart Association and Fisher-Titus Medical Center called on Huron County residents to get involved in the Start! Walking nationwide program.
Local residents and members of the business community are encouraged to join the program, which began with an inauguration of the Fisher-Titus Start! Walking Path on April 7. Norwalk Mayor Sue Lesch will be on-hand to launch the event and invites area residents join the festivi-ties in FTMC’s Patient Pavilion parking lot off Shady Lane Drive.
Fisher-Titus is partnering the American Heart Associa-tion’s Start! Program, a national initiative that champions walking because it has the lowest dropout rate of any phys-ical activity. Fisher-Titus and AHA are working in con-junction with the Huron County Health Partners to roll
out the program countywide. The Huron County paths are among hundreds of Start! Walking Paths designated across the country. For a list of paths nationwide or to map a custom walking route in your neighborhood, visit www.startwalkingnow.org.
In January 2010, the American Heart Association defined the seven key factors to ideal cardiovascular health. Physi-cal activity is one of those factors, but only 15 percent of American adults achieve the association’s recommended levels of moderate aerobic exercise (150 or more minutes per week). The Start! initiative encourages all Americans to get started on a regular walking program as a way to achieve their physical activity goals and to reduce their risk of cardiovascular disease by as much as 30 percent.
“Healthy lifestyle choices should be a community prior-ity. Nearly 70 percent of adults in NW Ohio are overweight or obese and are at risk for heart complications from sed-entary lives,” said Christine Cooke, AHA Start! Heart Walk director. “Exercising just 30 minutes a day can make a big difference in their cardiovascular health.”
To learn more about the Start! Program, visit www.ftmc.com and click on the Start! button.
Sandusky – Sharon Dircks, Direc-tor of Nursing at Parkvue Health Care Center, has completed the required course work and passed the examina-tion to become Wound Care Certified.
“Once again, Sharon has shown her commitment to the patients and residents of Parkvue by increasing her knowledge about effective wound care treatments,” said Parkvue Ad-ministrator Ken Keller. According to the Wound Care Education Institute, the Skin and Wound Management Course Dircks complet-ed provides the highest quality wound care education pos-sible, because the course work focuses on practical wound healing techniques and treatments.

104 W Third St, Lakeside-Marblehead
3,432± sq. ft. in (2) Historic2-story Cottages Connected on Lower Level
The connected lower level has a large kitchen area, and seating for as many as 150 diners. The upper
levels have served as boarding rooms for seasonal em-ployees. With the origin of both buildings dating back 100 years, there is no shortage of charm or nostalgia.
The property is located in the Chautauqua of Lakeside, Ohio on Lake Erie. Lakeside is a private community in northern Ohio on the shores of Lake Erie. It was
formed in 1873 by members of the Methodist Church and remains a church-affiliated vacation resort. It is
one of only a few continuously operating Independent Chautauquas that persist in the 21st century. It is
located in Ottawa County’s Danbury Township, near the town of Marblehead.
