One-room schoolhouses dot the landscape of Ohio and pro-vide a reminder of what life was like for the children of rural areas at the beginning of the 20th Cen-tury. Sadly, only two of the more than eight, one-room school-houses that once stood in Huron Township remain today.

As early as 1841, a schoolhouse stood on Fox Road just west of Camp Road in Huron Township. In September of 1841, Squire Bar-rett sold a small plot of land in the north part of Lot 9, Section 3 to Huron Township for school purposes. As the population of Huron Township grew, so did the number of children attending the rural schools. In the early 1860s, there was an average of 25 stu-dents attending the school on Fox Road, which became known as the Sub-district No. 8 School. Hence, a new and improved schoolhouse was needed to accommodate the growing number of students.

In 1868, the director of the Sub-district No. 8 School, George W. Harris, suggested that a new schoolhouse be constructed in his district just to the west of the original schoolhouse. Hence, in May of 1868, the Board of Educa-tion of Huron Township resolved that a tax would be levied on all of the property of Sub-district No. 8 in the amount of $500; and a tax would be levied on all the taxable property of the township (village exempt) in the amount of $700. These taxes were for the purpose of purchasing a lot, building a 24-foot by 30-foot brick school-house, digging a well, and fenc-ing the ground in Sub-district No. 8. By April of 1869, the new

schoolhouse was well under way. Unfortunately, the $1,200 in taxes that was collected from the residents of Huron Township was not enough to complete the new schoolhouse. Therefore, the board of education levied another $900 tax. The new schoolhouse was likely ready for use by the fall of 1869.

In 1868, a vote was put to the people of both the township and village to decide whether or not to build a central high school. The voters in the township voted against the measure; however, the people of the village voted for it. Though defeated in 1868, efforts to centralize the schools continued nonetheless. In 1886, Huron built a large school in the village on the corner of Williams and Shirley streets. The younger grades were composed primarily of students residing in the village, but high school students came from all over the township.

In the early 1900s, August Scheid was appointed director of the school in Sub-district No. 8. Scheid, who had several chil-

dren in the district, was a strong proponent of centralized schools. In 1911, Scheid personally pro-vided the means for children to be brought into the village for school by purchasing a bus to transport students from Sub-District No. 8 into Huron each day. Mrs. Scheid designed the bus, and it was man-ufactured in Sandusky. Further, the Scheid’s son, Lyndon, who was to attend Huron High School, would be the bus driver. Hence, the schoolhouse in Sub-district No. 8 was no longer in use after September of 1911. A few of the other one-room schoolhouses survived the centralization effort for a short time, but all eventually succumbed.

From 1911 until 1941, the schoolhouse in Sub-district No. 8 sat vacant, but was still un-der the ownership of the Huron Township Board of Education. During the 1930s, the owner of the land upon which the school-house sat allowed their pigs to use the structure for shelter. The once lovely schoolhouse was now in shambles. In March of 1941, Thurman, Katherine and

Emory Fox purchased 196 acres of land, including Lot 9, from the People’s Loan and Savings Com-pany. The People’s Loan and Sav-ings Company had recovered the property in 1931 in a suit against August Scheid, who owed them $47,535. The Fox family likely challenged the Board of Educa-tion of Huron Township for own-ership of ‘the schoolhouse lot’ since the schoolhouse was obvi-ously not in use as a school, and, therefore, the land upon which the schoolhouse sat was supposed to revert back to the land owner. In June of 1941, ‘the school house lot’, containing 0.65 acres, was subsequently sold to Dennis C. Fox. By the time Fox came into possession of the schoolhouse, all of the windows and doors were gone. Yet, he had a vision for the old schoolhouse, which included rehabilitating it and making it his home. Since that time, many oth-ers have made improvements to the schoolhouse and have called it home, but yet have lovingly re-spected the house’s unique past.

The Huron Board of Edu-cation will host a series of informational meetings re-garding Open Enrollment for the Huron City School District. The first meeting will take place at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 10 in the McCormick Middle School Auditorium.

Superintendent Fred Fox and Treasurer Michael Weis will explain how Open En-rollment works and will discuss the options the Board of Education has based on the Huron City Schools policy on Open En-rollment. Currently, more than $200,000 in Huron City School revenues are being transferred to other districts as Open Enroll-ment has become a finan-cial burden to the district. All informational meetings are open to the public.

about school sign up

Three sixth-grade Gifted Lan-guage Arts students — Hannah Blackwell, Kylie Greulich and Maggie Nelson — learned recent-ly their work will be published in the upcoming months in the na-tional magazine, Creative Kids.

Earlier in the school year, the students of Dale Casper’s sixth-grade Gifted Language Arts Class had focused their studies on a section of creative writing. One unit within this section included poetry. The students were asked to write 40 to 50 poems creating a book out of their best 15 to 20. Upon completion of this assign-ment the students were asked to select their “best” work for sub-mission to a contest in Creative Kids magazine. “All of the stu-dents did a fantastic job,” said Casper, gifted intervention spe-cialist. Many students have sub-mitted materials and have been selected before, however, never has there been three students ac-cepted at one time, he explained. “To be chosen is an accomplish-ment,” he said.

The magazine is geared toward gifted children between the ages of 8 and 16. Being a national magazine, the competition is tough; therefore, the guidelines are very extensive. Materials for submission include cartoons, songs, short essays, puzzles, pho-tographs, artwork, games, editori-

als, poetry and plays.The following are the poems and

the thoughts behind the poems from the Woodland’s authors.

Farm PondBy Hannah Blackwell

Bluegills nip at my toesAs I swim in pitch black water.Duck weed and leaves cover the water like a blanket.In the shallows,Muck oozes between my toes.Frogs jump seconds beforeI step on them.

Hannah had written “Farm Pond” this past November as she reminisced about a trip she had taken this past summer with her family to her “Grandmoth-er’s cousin’s house somewhere far away.” For Hannah the true meaning of this poem lies within her personal experience. Having had the experience of swimming in the farm pond helped her to re-live the event through words.

Hannah’s word choices add great description in completing the overall visual she was trying to ac-complish. Hannah plans to con-tinue her creative writing while exploring other writing opportu-nities.

BonfireBy Kylie Greulich

The pyramid made by the logs.The heat of the fire, so hot on my

face.The orange color of the flame,Lights the dark sky.The popping sounds of the

moisture in the wood.The fire dying down, now you

see the glow of the embers.The heat of the embers,letting you throw a coin in andletting it melt.This is the power of the bonfire.

Poetry and journaling are Ky-lie’s favorite forms of writing. She

Around TownHuron City Tax Forms

A reminder to the residents of Huron that the Finance Department of the City of Huron is no longer able to provide as-sistance with the preparation of annual tax forms.

Completed forms may be delivered to the department Mondays through Fridays, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Although assistance in the completion of the forms was previously performed by finance staff as a courtesy, a recent legal opinion now prohibits the activity.

Yard Waste/Food Scrap Program 2010

In December 2009, Huron Coun-cil accepted a two-year bid proposal from Fultz & Sons Inc. for the provi-sion of refuse and recycling services within the city. As in the past, the service will include optional service for the re-moval of yard waste materials beginning April 1. Residents utilizing the yard waste option for the recycling of food scrap and biodegradable materials, however, will be afforded the opportunity to recycle this

material for the entire year. Investments at the Barnes Nursery composting facil-ity now allow for the recycling of food scrap material January through December. The inclusion of yard waste materials is prohibited from January through March 31, 2010; the collection of yard waste will begin again in April and continue through the end of the year at a cost of $20 per quarter.

The City is researching additional op-tions to facilitate the process of recycling food scrap material. Please contact the City Manager’s office with ideas on how

to improve the process. The removal of this waste from weekly trash receptacles will lower the cost of the refuse program over time — the more participation the greater the cost savings. Therefore, the city encourages involvement and strongly supports the continuation of recycling food scraps.

Residents interested in this service should complete the Yard Waste application form, which is available from the Web site or at the Finance Department. Questions should be directed to the city at 419-433-5000, ext. 3, or at www.cityofhuron.org.

Updates for Huron Residents

From

Dee Hartley, Senior tax aDviSor at H & r Block

There have been so many tax chang-es and IRS policy changes that it

is hard for me to decide where I am going with this column each week. Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC or EIC) affects many of our clients at this time of the tax season, and with this economy many more taxpayers will qualify for EIC this year.

Earned Income Tax Credit is a re-fundable tax credit designed to assist low-income workers and to offset the burden of U.S. payroll taxes, usually meaning more money in their pock-ets.

It reduces the amount of tax owed, and may also provide a refund.

Thebasicrequirementsforreceiving

EICare:• Must have a valid social security

number;• Must have earned income from em-

ployment or from self-employment;• Cannot be filing as married filing

separately;• Must be a U.S. citizen or resident

alien;• Cannot be a qualifying child of an-

other person;

Iftaxpayerdoesnothaveaqualifyingchild,thetaxpayermust:

• Be age 25, but under 65 at the end of the year;

• Live in the US for more than half the year;

• Not qualify as a dependent of an-other person.

• Maximum income caps apply.This government assistance pro-

gram is designed to help the indi-vidual just entering the job market by paying them to work.

The big picture is like a bell curve. You work a little bit you get a little bit.

You work more you get more. When you reach a certain point your EIC stays the same for a while. After that as you work more you get less until your income fazes you out of the pro-gram.

For example, if you are single be-tween 25 and 65 you might qualify for EIC when you have earned at least one dollar and you stop getting EIC when you earn $13,400. You get the most EIC between $6,000 and $7,500. If you are married you can earn more than $18,350 before you faze out.

You also can earn more and receive more if you have a child and more if there are two qualifying children; and this year three children will increase your EIC. There are several rules for qualifying a child: residency, relation-ship, age, and joint filing are the main rules.

As you can imagine, this area of the tax code is very susceptible to fraud and many questions need to be an-swered so getting qualified help is strongly recommended.

TaxesMany More Will Qualify for EIC

A big thank you goes out to the Hu-ron community for supporting the second year of “Christmas in Huron.” With your generosity we were able to decorate all the lamp posts on Main Street with natural garland and bows, as well as decorate the large evergreen tree at the boat basin with lights and a star, and the small trees at the top of the boat basin.

The “Welcome to Huron” signs were made festive with greenery and bows, too. We were also able to add addi-tional lights at Huron City Hall and the fire station this year.

This would not have been possible without the donations of both money and time from the following indi-viduals; businesses; organizations and the City of Huron: Steve and Char-lene Baron; Suzanne McFee; Mary Jane Patterson; Leslie and Terry Si-mon; Hartung and Associates; St. Pe-ter Catholic Church; Gay and Dennis Green; Rye Beach Pizza N Deli; Judy and Ken Lee; Mary and Will Folger; Judy and Mike Tann; David and Car-ole Dreffer; Stephen and Judy Schaef-

We would like to continue “Christ-mas in Huron” in 2010 and are look-ing for any volunteers who would like to be a part of this endeavor. If you are interested please send an email to either Sandy Otterman at [email protected] or call her at 419-433-3415; or email Julie Sowecke at [email protected] or Beth Fisher at [email protected].

From the BenchBeware of Jury Duty Phone Scam

From Judge Bill Steuk, Huron municipal court

The Supreme Court of Ohio and the Ohio Attorney General’s office are warning Ohioans of a jury duty scam that unfortunately is used to steal citi-zens’ identities by way of tricking them

into turning over personal information. The scam involves the perpetrator calling a victim, claiming that he or she works for the court system. The caller tells the victim that a warrant has been issued for his or her arrest for failing to report for jury duty. In an effort to clear up the issue, the victim is told that he or she must provide his or her Social Security number, date of birth and sometimes even a cred-it card number. The unsuspecting victim who provides that information will have his or her identity stolen. The

Ohio Attorney General’s office states that “the best rule of thumb is to never give out personal information over the phone regardless of who is calling. Unless you initiate the call, you really don’t have verification of who is on the oth-er end.” In addition, the Ohio Supreme Court has stated that officers of the court do not request personal infor-mation over the phone. Please be advised that the Huron Municipal Court would not call and request personal in-formation for those serving on jury duty. Potential jurors are sent a letter through the U.S. mail notifying them of their potential service as a juror. If you have any further questions in regards to serving on a jury for a particular court, feel free to contact that court to discuss the matter.

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.

Feb. 3, Frank Kunstel discussed government spying, the Patriot Act and issues of personal privacy and national securi-ty. The other two parts of the series will be held on the following dates:

• Feb. 24, Shakyra Diaz will discuss racial justice in a soci-ety already sensitized to terrorist acts and threats.

• March 3, Christine Link, executive director of the ACLU of Ohio, will discuss the progress and pitfalls of women’s rights in today’s society.

Both free talks will be 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. in the Firelands Room (115 West Building). Each is open to the public.

If you have answered yes to these questions, then con-sider partnering with Firelands Habitat for Humanity to obtain affordable housing.

The students at St. Peter School had “a real ball” this week at an interactive assembly presented by Jim “Basket-ball” Jones – a motivational speaker and entertainer who wowed students and faculty with messages of hope, determination and hard work, while showcasing basketball handling skills. Jones’ presentation was part of a Na-tional Catholic Schools Week celebra-tion at the school.

The Jim “Basketball” Jones program has empowered students and teachers at more than 3,000 schools around the country for 11 years. Jim’s posi-tive approach on life and his own sto-ry of overcoming dyslexia was a true inspiration to the crowd and left the St. Peter students cheering him – and each other – on.

Catholic Schools Week marks a na-tional celebration of the long-term benefits Catholic schools provide to the nation’s youth and is a spe-cial time to reflect on experiencing a faith-based education. Other events at St. Peter School this week included a kick-off Spaghetti Dinner; Service Day with a discussion about orphan-ages in Africa; Community Day to thank local leaders; Teacher Day hon-oring the gift of teaching; and a Faith Day with a special mass on Friday.

“Families and communities can count on Catholic schools to instill in students the faith, knowledge, morals and discipline that will enable them

to fulfill their future roles as com-mitted citizens, productive employ-ees and effective leaders,” said Linda Smith, St. Peter School principal. “We are so proud that St. Peter School and our students are a reflection of this.”

The mission of St. Peter School is

to foster a Catholic faith community, while providing a safe environment that emphasizes Christian moral values, academic excellence, social awareness, physical development and a cultural appreciation.

Students receive message of hope from dynamic basketball handler

inspired to write “Bonfire” one eve-ning when looking out her bedroom window she could see a neighbor’s bonfire. The bonfire triggered all sorts of fun memories of special times she and her family have shared with their friends around a bonfire. Kylie uses sensory words in her poem to help describe the bonfire in detail, how-ever, she leaves a little mystery story hidden within the poem for only the

participants to fully understand.

RosesBy Maggie Nelson

They watch me as I walk along,The pathway filled with flowers.They sing silent songs,Of their powers,To make passing people smileThey say they want me to stay awhileAnd sing with them. Maggie has several special ties to this

particular poem; the first being, Rose

is her middle name and the second, is the rose happens to be her favorite flower. Maggie feels as though her strength in writing is predominately in nature and potpourri poems. She is often told that her funny, witty sense of humor is present in her writing. To date, she estimates having about 175 poems in her poetry collection. For her, poetry comes naturally. Mag-gie plans to continue to write short stories and poetry and would like to someday write a book.

SANDUSKY – Dr. Lata Stefano recently attended the Invisalign Workshop: Clear

Essentials Certification II in Detroit. Each year, Align Technology Inc., the inventor of

Invisalign provides doctors from around the world the chance to learn about clini-cal techniques, case studies, new product developments and best practices through their certification process. Invisalign is a clear, remov-able method of straighten-ing teeth without wires and brackets.

Attendees attended pre-sentations led by national-ly-known Invisalign edu-cator, Dr. Carlyn Phucas. Stefano is a leading certi-fied Invisalign provider in the area, and she peri-odically attends workshop sessions to learn Invisalign straightening procedures and practices.

“The workshop offers me a chance to exchange treat-ment techniques with other Invisalign experts and learn from top innovators,” said Stefano.

“Invisalign is a revolu-tionary product and this continued education helps my team to continue to provide the best possible and most up-to-date care for our dental patients.”

Get Fit 2010 Can exercise really be considered

medicine? We all know that regu-lar exercise can help us maintain a healthy body weight and reduce stress. Exercise can give us more energy and make us feel better about ourselves, but, according to leading medical ex-perts, there is so much more to it than that. Regular exercise might actually help boost your immune system and fight off many chronic diseases.

I don’t mean to downplay the weight loss benefits of regular exercise. Let’s not forget that obesity is the fastest growing public health challenge in America. If obesity rates continue to grow at their current pace more than 40 percent of the American popula-tion will be considered obese by 2018. Keeping that figure in mind, the U.S. will spend $344 billion on health-care costs related to obesity, account-ing for 21 percent of all health-care spending.

Studies have repeatedly shown that physical activity can help prevent obesity, cardiovascular disease, diabe-tes and other chronic conditions. Ac-cording to research published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, low cardio-respiratory fitness and physical inactivity has a greater ef-fect on mortality rates than smoking. What’s even more shocking is that a study in The Journal of the Ameri-can Medical Association found that a low level of fitness is a bigger factor in mortality than mild to moderate obesity. This research would seem to

suggest that regular exercise could be the ultimate in preventative medicine.

So how much exercise do you need to do in order to see all these benefits? Leading a healthier lifestyle is easier than you might think. You don’t have to go to the gym every day or spend an hour on the treadmill every night. According to the Center for Disease Control Web site, you need about 150 minutes of light to moderate aerobic activity and 2 or more days of muscle strengthening activity every week to see benefits. This could be as simple as going for a 30-minute walk, five days a week and adding in weight-bearing exercise twice a week. Just 30 minutes of physical activity per day can:

• reduce mortality rates by 50 per-cent;

• lower the risk of colon cancer by 60 percent;

• reduce the risk of developing Al-

zheimer’s by a third; • and decrease depression as effec-

tively as a prescription drug. So, I guess exercise is medicine and

it’s time to get started on your pre-scription. Call your doctor today to set up an appointment for your an-nual checkup or plan to talk about physical activity at your next doctor’s office visit. If you need help with your exercise program, a qualified personal trainer can work with your doctor to develop a plan. Most importantly, just get up and start moving!

2010! Where did 2009 go? Many of us have probably already set new goals for our families, our professions, and/or our finances. Did you remember to set your FITNESS GOALS? The Gym wants you to keep the following quote at the top of your mind:

“The first Wealth is Health” –Ralph Waldo EmersonFor every goal we set, we must have our health to achieve it! If you are sick, usually you can call off from work 1 or 2

days or even a week. Usually that is not a problem but if you are sick for a straight month, then what? Do not allow 2010 to go as quickly as 2009 without achieving your personal, professional, and fitness goals. Write them

down, set a date, and put forth the effort. You only live once!

With individuals working longer, harder, and more stressful jobs these days, we created our facility to be accessed 24 hours a day. At The Gym you workout when it is convenient to your schedule. We understand that getting that workout in to relieve the daily stresses of life is vital to maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Stop in during our staffed hours for access details.

The Gym would like to thank everyone who has supported us in 2009. We truly appreciate your support to a locally owned business! Hopefully 2010 will be an even better year, set those goals!

The National Certifica-tion Board for Diabetes Ed-ucators recently announced Brandi Roeder, a registered nurse and member of Fish-er-Titus Medical Center’s Diabetes Education team, achieved Certified Diabetes Educator® status by suc-cessfully completing the Certification Examination for Diabetes Educators.

CDE® candidates must meet rigorous eligibil-ity requirements, including 1,000 hours of documented education time with pa-tients, to be able to take the examination. Achieving certification status dem-onstrates to people with diabetes and employers that the health care professional possesses distinct and spe-cialized knowledge, thereby promoting quality of care for people with diabetes.

Roeder of Monroeville has worked at Fisher-Titus since 2002 and has been part of the Diabetes Educa-tion team since 2005.

Sports

Sixth-graders from Woodlands Elementary participated in the Bay Area Youth Basketball League. Huron’s team is coached by John Springer and Bill Kovatch. The young Tigers picked up two wins playing at Huron High School. The first was against Clyde (35-10) and the latter was a tough game against the previously undefeated team from SMCC. Huron won that game by the score, 34-28.

Bay Area Ballers

The sight that welcomed Huron basketball fans to Mon-day night’s home game against Vermilion was disconcert-ing to say the least. The Tiger’s best player, Lauren Volz, was on crutches because of a severe ankle sprain suffered in the final seconds of a tough loss to Oak Harbor this past weekend. Who would step up on offense?

As the game opened, Huron’s offense looked completely lost. It took the Tigers over four and half minutes just to score their first basket. In that span of time, the visiting Sailors had pumped in 14 points.

Then an interesting thing happened. Huron went on a 7-2 run led by forward Devon Koenig to finish the first period down 16-7.

The home team began passing the ball quickly on the break and in their offense, instead of dribbling every-where. The Tiger run continued into the second period to close the score to13-16 at the 5:13 mark. But Vermilion is a good team, and rallied to regain part of their margin by halftime, 28-17. By this point it was clear who would pick up the slack for Huron – Koenig and point guard Caroline Estel. Both had six points and five rebounds at the half.

The Sailors opened the second half on fire, hitting five three-pointers in the third period. With Volz out, Huron really had no three-point threat and the visitors built a 45-28 lead.

The Tigers closed out the quarter strong and it carried over into the final stanza. Down 50-36, with six and a half minutes left, both Devon Koenig and Devon Grendow hit jumpers. Justine Butler added a three to narrow the gap back down to seven points, 50-43. The Sailors then capi-talized on a couple turnovers, rebounding to a 56-43 lead with less than five minutes to play. The Lady Tigers would only get as close as eight points again following a Koenig bucket with 1:43 left. A few Vermilion free throws later and the final score was 66-52.

Considering where Huron started the evening, their of-

fense had tremendous output. Head Coach Ty Ray agreed that their ball movement was as good as it had been all season and that his team was forced not to rely on Volz.

Devon Koenig led the way with 15 points and nine re-bounds. Sophomore Caroline Estel played an active all around game with 14 points, seven rebounds, five assists, and three steals. Sierra Ward came up big as well with 10 points and seven boards. The Huron JV squad won their game, 39-25. Kelsey Kohler had 14 points and 17 boards while Allie Carroll had eight points, 13 rebounds, and four steals to lead the way to victory.

Nicole Luzader is a senior cheerleader at Huron High School that you often see doing much of the acrobatics during the games. She was also this year’s Homecom-ing Queen as selected by her class-mates.

Q: When did you first tryout to be cheerleader? Did you always know you wanted to try it or did you get talked into it?

A: I first tried out for cheerlead-ing in the 7th grade. I didn’t always know I wanted to be a cheerleader, but I liked dance and figured cheer-leading could be just as fun.

Q: Nicole, you do a good deal of tumbling in some of your routines. Where did the training for that come from? Have you ever gotten hurt?

A: I learned to tumble at The Dance Connection here in Huron. I have never gotten hurt from tumbling.

Q: Do you prefer cheering at football or basketball games and why?

A: I definitely prefer cheering for basketball games. I feel a lot more involved as a basketball cheerleader and it’s better to tumble in the gym than on the track.

Q: What other activities are you involved in? A: I am the National Honor Society secretary, student council vice-president, and I am on the Dance Connec-tion competition team.

Q: What are your plans following the Huron High School years?

A: I plan on studying business and personal finance at Firelands College.

Q: If you weren’t a cheerleader, is there a sport Huron offers that you would have liked to try?

A: Now that the band has a flag team that is something that I would have liked to try.

Q: Tell me something that you want to try/see/go to that you never have, and why?

A: I would love to go to a “So You Think You Can Dance?” (television show) taping.

The Huron Varsity wrestlers don’t have many home matches. There are a wide va-riety of larger tournaments. So when they do have one, you have to make the most of it. Thus, last Tuesday night was Parents night for the home squad. The Tigers host-ed varsity squads from Lakota and Tiffin Calvert in a tri-match.

The opening match pitted Huron against Lakota. Taylor Wysocki opened at the 103-pound. class with a win by forfeit for the home team. The Tigers roared their way to victory, 54-12. The remainder of the results of the first contest is as follows:

112 – Corey Lowery was pinned.119 – Both teams forfeited.125 – Colton Roth lost by a 7-8 decision.130 – Josh Russo won by forfeit.135 - Will Sams won by technical fall.140 - Dominic Maschari won by a 10-8

decision.145 – Tre Bell won 10-2.152 – Matt King won by technical fall.160 – Troy DeLamatre pinned his man in

the first period.171 – Zack Blodgett pinned his opponent

in the second.189 – Mauricio Vasquez won by forfeit.215 – Jordan Romick pinned his oppo-

nent in the second period.285 – Nino Majoy lost 6-8.

The last match of the night pitted Huron against Tiffin Calvert. These were tougher opponenst for the young Tigers with the visitors taking the event, 44-21. The results were as follows:

103 – Wysocki was pinned.112 – Lowery was pinned.125 – Roth lost by decision, 4-8.

130 – Russo pinned his opponent.135 – Sams was pinned.140 – Maschari pinned his opponent.145 – Bell lost by a 3-4 decision.152 – King won by a 10-3 decision.

The Huron Wrestling program, headed up by Head Biddy Coach Matt Majoy, has been very active this season culti-vating young talent for the high school program. Recently, the program spon-sored the Huron Biddy Tournament at Huron High School. They had a great turnou,t with many local schools that have their own “biddy” programs par-ticipating. Here is how the Huron chil-dren fared:

Division 1 (6 years and under)Marc Hurst – second place

Division 2 (7-8 years old)Joey Huddleston – fourth placeMatthew Hurst – fourth placeJohnathon Litz – third placeAustin Wieczorek – third place

Division 3 (9-10 years old)Tim Delahunt – second placeDillion Resley – fourth place

Schools

The staff at Huron High School would like to recognize Kate Jones for be-ing voted Senior Student of the Month for January. Kate demonstrates out-standing academic achievements and has completed nu-merous community service hours in-cluding working for Habitat for Human-ity and traveling to different states to help build things for elderly or disabled people. She is active at her church, is a group leader for elementary and middle school girls and does whatever she can to help other students in the high school.

At its board meeting on Jan. 14, the EHOVE Board of Education posthu-mously recognized former Board Mem-ber H. Theodore “Ted” Kuns with a photo in the EHOVE Honor Area, located in the High School.

Kuns served as the County Board’s rep-resentative to the EHOVE Board of Edu-cation from 1966 through 1979. In addi-tion to his service to EHOVE, Kuns served on the Margaretta Local Board for 16 years, and the Erie County Board of Edu-cation for 12 years.

During the ceremony, which included members of the Kuns family as guests, EHOVE Board President Dr. Paul Lock-wood said: “Ted Kuns was here at EHOVE

during a critical time in our formation. It’s an honor for me to recognize his con-tributions.”

Kuns contributions to the formation of EHOVE also figured in the letter of nomi-nation written by former EHOVE teacher, Deborah Laird. “It is Mr. Kuns image that comes to mind for many of us from EHOVE’s early years.”

Kun’s daughter-in-law, Carol Kuns con-tinues his dedication to education as a current member of the EHOVE Board of Education.

To be considered for the EHOVE Educa-tor Honor Area, a candidate must have a minimum of eight years of service to the school District and a recommendation

from at least 10 persons employed by or serving the district. Kuns is the 45th per-son recognized in the Honor Area.

Pictured here are: EHOVE Board President, Dr. Paul Lockwood; re-tired EHOVE English Teacher who nominated Kuns, Debbie Laird; Larry Kuns, brother of Mr. Kuns; EHOVE Board Vice President Carol Kuns; Carolyn Warner, Kuns sister; Linda Kuns, sister-in-law of Kuns; and Dick Kuns, Kuns’ brother.

EHOVE Career Center Board Meeting SummaryBoard meetings

Vicki Kritzell of Hearth to Hearth Ministries visited St. Peter School as part of the Catholic Schools Week celebration of service. She spoke with the students about her work with the orphan children in Kenya and Uganda. Grandma Vicki, as she is known to the orphan children at the Hope for Children Center in Kenya, shared stories about the typical day in the life of an orphan living at the orphanage. Students were challenged to think about all they have and to consider giving up some of their wants so that others might have what they need.

Hannah Digman, Stephanie Endlish, Elaina Hemker and Maggie Murphy, all eighth-graders at St. Peter School, participated in the district Power of the Pen competition held at Tiffin Middle School on Jan. 23. Both Hannah and Elaina scored a Best of Round in the competition and Hannah placed 8th in the top 15 writ-ers attending the event. The top scorers at the event are eligible to compete at the regional contest being held at Findlay High School on March 6. Moving on to the regionals are Hannah, Elaina and Maggie.

Power of the Pen is a state competition that en-courages the skills of creative expression in writing. At each event, students write in response to prompts provided to them. The writings are scored by trained judges and the results are based on the total of the three writing pieces students have created.

The local competition for the National Geography Bee was held at St. Peter School on Jan. 27. Students competing in the finals included Brandon Lochotzki, Natalie Andrews, Grace Claus, Noah Stevens, Sophie Dandurand, Lilly Engeler, Joey Harkelroad, Ben Lan-gan, Maggie Murphy, Amanda Vacca and Adam Myers.

Maggie Murphy and Noah Stevens, the 2009 St. Peter School champion, had the high scores after the final rounds to qualify for the championship round, with

Maggie receiving the championship medal. Maggie will now take a written test to determine if she will qualify for the state finals later this spring.
