The Bogen family came to Huron in 1897 when Adolf Bogen was appointed rector of the Evangelical United Brethren Church (located where the United Methodist Church is today). The family consisted of Adolf, his wife, Caro-line, and their children: Helen, Emma, Edwin, Laura and Floyd. Interestingly, Rev. Bogen created quite a stir among the congregation in Huron after he began preaching in English, rather than German.

In 1901, Rev. Bogen was transferred to a church in Sandusky, and the family moved there.

By 1904, eldest son Edwin Bogen had re-turned to Huron. Edwin was born in 1883 in Ionia, Mich. He first worked as a fireman on the railroad, but was soon promoted to engi-neer. In 1904, Edwin married Ora Belle Scha-fer who was born in Milan, Ohio, in 1879. Be-cause of Edwin’s job with the Wheeling & Lake Erie Railroad, the couple moved to Pittsburgh, but they soon returned to Huron, as Edwin was required to work out of Toledo. Upon the cou-ple’s return to Huron, they resided at 223 Ohio St. In September of 1918, Edwin and Ora Belle purchased the house at 317 Williams St., and it was here that they both would remain the rest of their lives.

Edwin was known for his love of music, and was a member of the choir at First Presbyterian Church, Huron. Edwin died of a heart attack in 1952. Ora Belle was known as a wonder-

ful cook and a baker of excellent pies. In fact, from 1929 through 1939, Ora Belle operated a home baking business. In 1959 at the age of 80, Ora Belle married widower, Leo Sartor, of Sandusky. Leo and Ora Belle lived at the Wil-liamsStreet home until Ora Belle’s death in 1976. Both Edwin and Ora Belle are buried at McMillen Cemetery.

Edwin and Ora Belle had two daughters, Oletha, born in 1908, and Ruth, born in 1912. Oletha married Charles Naegele in 1925. Ole-tha and Charles’ son, Robert, was born in 1925 in the upstairs back bedroom at 317 Williams St. When first married, Oletha and Charles re-sided at 430 Cleveland Road West, but eventu-ally, Edwin Bogen purchased a home for them at 424 Ohio St.

In 1934, Ruth Bogen married Harold Haber at Lakeside, Ohio, and they had their wed-ding reception at the Williams Street home. They lived with Ruth’s parents for the first 18 months of their marriage and then moved next door to 315 Williams St. In 1956, Harold and Ruth Haber and Charles and Oletha Naegele began Modern Kleeners, a dry-cleaning busi-ness, on Mill Street in Huron. In the 1960s, the Habers bought out the Naegeles and operated the business solely until selling it in 1978. Both Oletha Naegele and Ruth Haber died in 2002.

The 2010 Parent Academy that took place on Wednesday, May 12th, 2010 at Woodlands Intermediate School offered parents and stu-dents the opportunity to have a hands-on approach and hear different speakers discuss the importance of healthier living choices. This event was spon-sored by the Ohio Department of Education. A grant had been applied for and obtained to cover the costs of the program. Several area vendors were avail-able to help stress the impor-tance of exercise and health diets, Sue Whitaker, Director of Food Services explained.

Over 350 students and parents from the district participated in the two hour event. One hour was dedi-cated to the parents as mini-seminars were presented to them. The seminars in-cluded: School Board Member Donna Green spoke regarding pre-paring healthy meals on a tight budget and the food Pyramid for family meals. Sue Whitaker, Director of Food Services explained how the Food Service Organization runs within the District and the benefits of the Free/Reduced lunch program. Nurse, Janis Wallace gave a talk regarding “por-tion distortion” comparing today’s food por-

tions to those of just a few years ago and how much more time and energy it takes to counter these extra calories. While the parents partici-

pated in the mini-seminars the students practiced yoga in the li-brary with Theresa Wittmer and dancing in the gymnasium with Mrs. Skavnak, the Gym teacher.

Following the parent/student breakout ses-sions the family’s regrouped to have a typical healthy school lunch in the cafeteria together.

The meal consisted of whole grain pizza, carrots and dip, baked chips, apple slices and milk.

Sue Whitaker, Janis Wal-lace and Beth Fisher had applied for the grant and organized this year’s event. Huron is one of two districts in the area that had received the funding to carry out the Parent Academy. The other area districts attendance for the Parent Academy was ap-proximately fifty for that evening.

Area vendors that partici-pated in the Huron Parent Academy include: Any Time Fitness, EHOVE Career Center, The Gym, Mulberry

Creek Herb Farm, NOMS, Erie County Health De-partment, Ernsthausen Community Complex, Erie Metro-Parks, Huron Parks & Recreation and Bay Area Soccer.

Northern Ohio Medical Fitness Center, Sandusky St. Mary’s Catholic Church and North Coast Cancer Care will be hosting their first Spin-A-Thon from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, June 5, to raise money for cancer research and treatments.

The event will be held at the new NOMS fitness center in Sandusky and is open to the public. Riders pay a $10 fee to register for a bike, and an ad-ditional $5 for each 30 minutes they decide to ride.

The groups will also be hosting a 4K for cancer participants. The 4K for Cancer riders will be provided with food, shower facilities and lodging for the night. 4K for Cancer is a non-profit organization dedicated to unit-ing communities across the country in

the fight against cancer by spreading awareness, raising funds and foster-ing hope. Uniting communities in the

fight against cancer is the organiza-tion’s core purpose, while the desire to spread awareness, raise funds and foster hope are the core values. 4K for Cancer distributes 100 percent of do-nations to organizations dedicated to

fighting cancer by utilizing corporate sponsorships to offset costs.

In seven years, they have donated more than $300,000 through riders, who raise $4,000 each to participate in the 4K. They fund organizations that align with their mission and have a history of demonstrated results. Addi-tionally, they donate a sizable portion of the funds to the Baltimore Hope Lodge, a free home-like residence for cancer patients and their families to stay while undergoing treatment.

Northern Ohio Medical Fitness Cen-ter will be offering other ways to do-nate, in addition to the Spin-A-Thon during the week-long donation drive. All money raised will be donated lo-cally for cancer treatment. For more information call 419-502-3500.

Harbor North Marina will host an open house June 5-6 as part of a cam-paign called “Discover Sailing!” to pro-mote the sport of sailing and benefit United Way of Erie County.

Harbor North will sponsor sailboat rides, demonstrations, free refreshments and a number of other activities between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. to encourage people

to learn more about sailing and become involved in the sport. Proceeds from the sailboat rides (suggested donation is $10 per person) will help benefit the United Way of Erie County. In addition, all Har-bor North “Discover Sailing!” partici-pants will be entered in a drawing for a free, two-day US SAILING class for one person at Harbor North.

“Our ‘Discover Sailing!’ Open House will give people of all ages a chance to experience sailing in a fun, relaxed at-mosphere,” said Bruce Roberts of Har-bor North. Last year, Harbor North took more than 300 people out sailing during the event weekend, he said.

For more information, call 419 433-6010 or 1-800-451-SAIL (7245).

Two EHOVE students helped show their appreciation for those who served this country by creating a new Veterans’ Honor Wall in the school.

Government and Economics teacher Ginger Packert had the idea to create a wall honoring local veterans as a way to say thanks a couple of years ago, so she and some students put together an area in EHOVE’s high school building.

Mary Rose and Haley Campbell, both of

New London High School, thought the wall was a nice idea and wanted to expand upon it. So, they took it down and started over.

Rose and Campbell are enrolled in EHOVE’s Visual C o m m u n i c a -tions Design program. They used the graphic design skills they learned in the

program to create the wall, which includes individual cards for each veteran that fea-ture his/her photo, name, rank, branch of service, years in service, conflict served

and awards won. Veterans that attended EHOVE also have a special notation.

Veterans on the wall include EHOVE staff and former students, and community members. Other veterans in the area that would like to be included on the wall are in-vited to send their information to EHOVE. Family and friends who would like to hon-or a veteran are also encouraged to send in the information.

Those who send in information should include the veteran’s name, branch, rank, years served, conflict served, and special military awards. Also include whether the veteran attended EHOVE and what program, or if the veteran is connected to EHOVE another way, if applicable. Send the information and a photo (don’t forget the photo!) to Ginger Packert at gpackert@ehove-jvs.k12.oh.us or 316 W. Mason Road, Milan 44846.

For more information or instructions, go to www.ehove.net and type ‘veterans’ in the search box.

SANDUSKY – Dr. Lata Stefano and Dr. Patricia Sharp of Lata Stefano, DDS, Inc. are offering free cleanings, x-rays, and dental exams for people of all ages from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., Friday,

June 4. The event will be held at Lata Stefano, DDS, Inc. at 1617 W. Bog-art Road, Suite 1, Sandusky, and is in sponsorship with Dentistry From the Heart and Give Kids A Smile.

This will be Dr. Stefano’s second annual “Dentistry From The Heart” event in which she treats patients of all ages. Partnering with Dr. Stefano are Construction Equipment Sup-

ply, Dresch Labs, Marconi’s Italian Restaurant, Brent Fantozzi Photography, Tatem Marketing, Benco Dental, Pierre’s Quickprint, OE Meyer, Derby Dental and Crest/Oral B.

“With the current econo-my, people are experiencing job loss or lack of dental in-surance, but they’re still in need of good preventative dental work, which is why we are so excited to offer this free day of dentistry to the public. It’s a way to give back to the community and help those who need it most,” Stefano said.

“Dentistry From The Heart” is a national non-profit organization found-ed in 2001 by Florida dentist Dr. Vincent Montic-ciolo. DFTH was created to aid those in need, including the growing population of under-insured Americans. More than 100 million Americans lack dental in-surance and over 29 per-cent of adults have untreat-ed cavities.

Appointments are not accepted, patients will be seen on a first come/first serve basis only, and there is no screening process. For more information, call 419-626-2205.

He was born April 30, 1946, in Fostoria, Ohio. Jim graduated in 1964 from Fostoria High School where he excelled at football, basketball and track, lettering all four years. He was inducted in to the Fostoria High School Hall of Fame in 2007 and in 2008. Jim attended The University of Toledo on a full-ride scholarship for football. While in Toledo, he played varsity football, ran track and was a member of Theta Chi Fraternity. After graduating in 1968 with a bachelor’s degree in Comprehensive Science and Physical Education, he accepted his first teaching and coaching position at his alma-mater, Fostoria High School. He taught bi-ology and physical education and was an assistant coach in boys basketball, football and track.

In 1973, Jim was hired as Perkins High School Head Football Coach in Sandusky. In 1975, Perkins won its first SBC football championship with a 9-1 record. Hauser also had a long tenure as the head girls basketball coach. He initiated the Perkins elementary girls basketball program and was co-founder of the Sandusky Area Girls Summer League. His 25-year career as head boys track coach was highlighted by Per-kins’ first state championship in 1984. He was inducted into the Perkins High School Hall of Fame.

John Lawrence “JL” TwellsFeb. 27, 1934-May 20, 2010

John Lawrence “JL” Twells, 76, of Huron passed away Thursday, May 20, 2010, at his home by the shores of Lake Erie.

Born Feb. 27, 1934, he is survived by his beloved wife, F. Lee Ann (Graham), also a 1952 Fostoria High School graduate; daughter, Linda; sons, John Jr. and Robert; and brothers, Douglas and Richard.

Well-known in manufacturing and dis-tribution circles as a turnaround special-ist, he established or invigorated national programs at many companies, including, Waukesha Engine (Speedi Parts); Otis/Bak-er Material Handling (BeavR); and Amweld

(No. 1 Amweld Service). His leadership and marketing abilities saved countless jobs and drove corporate sales and profits to record levels. In the 1980 annual issue of Sales & Marketing Magazine, he was named as one of the top three sales and marketing execu-tives in the country.

After retiring from a 40-year career in industry, he led a skilled trades program (Sandusky Adult Education) that offered 35 types of apprenticeships. John was a firm believer in education and had three degrees in business, BBA, MBA and DBA.

He joined the U.S. Army and proudly served our country as a special agent for the Criminal Investigation Division after receiving a BBA from the University of To-ledo. His business career began with the Autolite Spark Plug Company, a firm his father (Robert) established in 1935.

John was a member of Zion Lutheran Church, VFW, American Legion, AMVETS, Rotary International, Lions Club, Society of Automotive Engineers, Steel Door Institute (former president), Construction Specifi-cations Institute, Erie County Republican Club, Tau Kappa Epsilon and the Toledo Yacht Club.

Visitation was at 10 a.m. Monday in Zion Lutheran Church, 503 Columbus Ave., Sandusky; the service will begin at 11 a.m. A graveside service will be at 2:30 p.m. in Fountain Cemetery, Fostoria.

Contributions in memory of John may be made to Zion Lutheran Church, Sandusky, or Diabetes Research Fund 400-625 at the University of Toledo Foundation.

Pat Ginley is a member of my wife Joan’s former parish, Rockport Unit-ed Methodist Church, in Rocky River. He joined the Navy in 1968 and became a hospital corps-man, training with the Marines and caring for in-jured soldiers in hospital settings. He didn’t know what to expect and saw things he would never forget.

Through the Vietnam era to Guan-tanamo Bay, Cuba, he was increas-ingly traumatized by seeing such cata-strophic injuries and death.

Pat became a nurse and then a phy-sician’s assistant, and in 1990 received his commission as an Air Force officer. In 2006, Ginley served in the emer-gency room of the 332nd Theater Hos-

pital in Balad, Iraq. ‘ “War is Hell” is an understatement,’ he thought.

One night, under the influence of alcohol, he climbed to the top of his barracks and sat down. As his feet hung over the roof line, he thought to himself: ‘If I dive off head first, this all will be over fast, as soon as I hit the sidewalk.’ He was desperately lonely. ‘Does God exist? Why won’t he talk to me? Why won’t he give me a sign?’ Pat wondered.

Just then, in answer to his prayer, a meteor shower lit up the night sky. ‘I knew from that moment that God was with me. I began reading the Bi-ble, listening and watching for God’s clues. Slowly, I found my faith being strengthened instead of challenged. Every day gave me new opportunities to pray for and with casualties brought to my door.’

His favorite scriptures became “Lo, I am with you always, even to the ends of the earth” (Matthew 28:20), and “I

can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” (Phil.4:13)

His wife Jackie involved their church, sending care packages, phone cards, supplies, socks and underwear, gym shorts and T-shirts, United Method-ist servicemen’s devotional books, and tools that he used to fix kids’ bikes.

He is now the church lay leader. And whenever he tells his story, he relates the nickname that his Iraqi translator gave him, Abu Sha hab, or “Shooting Star” – another reminder of God’s presence; another sign of new life.

As Memorial Day weekend ap-proaches, let’s not just use it as a long-weekend vacation or for bar-gain shopping. Go to church. Attend a Memorial Day service locally. Find a family who has lost a loved one, or is worried about a relative or friend serving overseas. Ask what they need and reach out with a heart of compas-sion and prayer. Become a shooting star across someone else’s night sky.

Mary Strayer, MaSter Gardener

MarilynfromSanduskyemailedmewithaquestionaboutbindweed. Sheaskedifitwaspossibletocontrolitatall,asitisalovelyplant.

Bindweed is native to Europe, and is a perennial with arrowhead-shaped dark green leaves along a vine that is 1-4 feet long. The flowers are white, pink or a combination, and they are 1-inch trum-pet shaped flowers that twist and turn through anything that gets into its path. The plant has a fibrous, horizontal root system, and the roots can reach 10-20 feet below the soil line.

Bindweed also reproduces by seed, and grows everywhere except in the lower southern states. It is not picky about soil conditions and drought does not deter it at all.

The question was about the control of the plant, and can it be grown on purpose in our gardens. I would say a very loud “No!” Once started, it can only be killed by using a glyposate herbicide such as Roundup, to mature plants before they set seed. Repeated applications are necessary to kill this plant. You can try digging the roots out, but you have to go down at least 6 inches on a small plant, and at least 3-4 feet out from them main stem. Dispose of these plants in the garbage. Re-member that one plant can produce up to 500 seeds, and they can remain viable in the soil for 50 years.

SamfromNorwalkemailedmeandaskedwhatthesquig-glylinesareonhiscolumbineplants. Theflowersarebeauti-ful,buttheleaveslookhorrible.

Leaf miners are the problem here, and they won’t kill the plants, but sure do make them look horrible. They are the lar-

vae of a small brown fly, and they tunnel their way through the leaves of the columbines. You can get rid of these pests with a systemic pesticide, but simply removing the affected leaves and throwing them into the trash is easier and cheaper.

For a really bad case, cut the whole plant back after it flowers. The plant will send up new growth in a couple of weeks. By the time the new growth emerges, the leaf min-ers will be gone and you can enjoy clean foliage the rest of the growing season. Come next spring, your columbine will once again burst onto the scene with colorful abandon.

More questions? Email them to me at rmstrayer@msn.com, and I will get back to you personally as soon as possible; and I might use the question in a future column. Thanks and happy gardening!

Sixty-eight percent of the fifth grade class and eighty-eight percent of the sixth grade class are reading at or above the sixth grade level at Woodlands Intermediate School, according to recent test scores from the Accelerated Learning Program, a division of Re-naissance Learning. The Accelerated Reading program is designed to al-low students to personalize their reading at appropriate levels while making reading practices more ef-fective for all students.

The Accelerated Reader program requires each student to take a STAR Reading Test, which is a standardized reading assessment measuring reading ability, com-prehension levels and vocabulary. The results of the test are one way to determine a student’s reading level. The results are provided im-mediately and offer each student their specific reading zone. Insight is offered as to the lowest reading level they should choose books from to the highest level. The goal is for students to choose books that are neither too hard nor too easy, Tracy Harbel, 5th grade Language Arts teacher explained.

“It (the AR program) is an effective supple-ment to our current reading curriculum. It en-

hances what we already have in place. It allows us to monitor and personalize independent reading practice and provide students with instant feed-back. The most significant asset is that the Accel-

erated Reader program is based on students reading books that are ap-propriate for them. Stu-dents choose inde-pendent reading material based on

their individ-ual reading

level. This is our first year implementing t h e AR program. It was introduced to us at the beginning of the school year,” stated Harbel.

“The AR program has motivated students to read which has become an effective way for stu-

dents to increase their vocabulary and compre-hension abilities. This is just one more way we are preparing our students for the O.A.A.” stated Harbel. “With the overall goal of the program being comprehension, we want students to focus on reading and comprehending books that are

appropriate for them so they can develop to their full potential.”

“Initiating a new program is always a little challenging; however, we are just thrilled with the way this has taken off,” stated Christine Standring, Curriculum Direc-

tor. “Deanna Schumm, our librarian, has been instrumental in getting this program

launched. The program is driven by the teachers; however it is headquar-

tered in the library. Funding for the program was made possible by Title One Funds.”Due to the large number of fifth

and sixth grade students reading at or above the sixth grade level there is

a definite need for additional books. All the school libraries will be collecting slightly

used books the remainder of the school year. If you have extra books that you are no longer reading and would like to make a donation to any of the libraries please feel free to drop them off at any of the schools.

The annual Huron Band Awards Banquet took place at Sawmill Creek Lodge on Monday, May 17.

The evening began with the director, Adam Ladd, recapping the year. The band was very busy starting with band camp in Au-gust to get ready for a very successful march-ing band season. Main highlights included a Blues Brothers Show, and a variety of music ranging from the blues to Led Zeppelin to Metallica. The season ended with a spectacu-lar senior band show showcasing the senior band members danc-ing to “Thriller” and ending with the classic “Funk.” To celebrate the end of band sea-son, the members held a Halloween party fea-turing the “Slushbuck-ets,” a band that plays classic rock. Three of the band’s members – Alex Schlessman, Derek Morey and Matt Buck-ingham – are in the Huron High School Band.

Also this year, under the direction of Chris-tine Scherley, the volunteer pep band played for all boys’ home basketball games. For un-der $10, attendees could watch the JV and the varsity basketball teams play, and hear the pep band play such toe-tapping favorites as “Sweet Caroline,” “Louie Louie,” and other Huron fa-vorites. Ladd said he has received numerous compliments from area schools that the Huron Pep Band is the best around.

Also during all of this, the concert band per-forms winter concerts . Twenty-four members of the concert band competed individually as well as in group events at a solo/ensemble con-test. All members received superior and excel-lent ratings by the judges.

The Concert Band also competed at the Dis-trict OMEA Contest and received a rating of 1,

allowing them to compete at the state level on April 30. The Huron band received a state rat-ing of 1 at the state level as well (the highest rating).

After the year’s recap, guest speak-ers Tony Lagando and Fred Fox ad-dressed the audience that included a message to the senior band members.

Senior student band president Alex VanScoy addressed the crowd with some highlights of the seniors’ fa-vorite memories, and also extended thanks to many people in the audi-ence. There were 12 senior band members this year: Alex VanScoy, Colleen Allen-Clingan, Kate Jones, Abby Sachs, Jess Halsey, Lindsay Bille, Lauren Heil, Graham Pisano, Tylor Crawford, Brooke Bodi, Leah Sherer and Kaleigh Koschutnik.

After dinner, Ladd presented awards to all band members. Special awards were given to the following students.

Most Outstanding 8th Grade Band Member: Benji Battiste;

Most Outstanding Freshman: Zach Jones;Most Outstanding Sophomore: Matthew

Buckingham; Most Outstanding Junior: Elizabeth Slocum;Most Outstanding Tigerette: Lauren Heil.The Huron band parents presented scholar-

ships to the following senior band members: Colleen Allen-Clingan, Abby Sachs, Kate Jones, Lauren Heil, Lindsay Bille and Alex VanScoy.

Mr. Ladd presented the Section of the Year award, which went to the low brass section.

There were also three annual Senior awards that were presented. This year The Director’s Award went to Kate Jones; the Patrick S. Gilm-ore Award went to Colleen Allen-Clingan; and the John Philip Sousa Award went to Alexan-dria VanScoy.

The Band finished its year with a performance at the Spring Arts Festival on Tuesday, May 25.

The 2010 spring season concluded for Huron Varsity softball team this past week with two solid wins over the Port Clinton Redskins. The first win, played at Fabens Park, was a 5-3 thrill-er, while the final game saw the Huron bats roar for 16 runs with Hayley Corso fittingly fin-ished her fine Tiger career by throwing an SBC shutout.

The Redskins opened the first game with a run in the top of the first inning. Then both teams’ bats went silent until the bottom of the sixth. The Ti-gers batted around their entire lineup enroute to five runs that decided the game’s outcome. Renee St. Clair started the in-ning with a single, while cen-terfield Caroline Estel reached base on an error. Melissa Mo-berg singled to load the bases for Corso, who singled to score both St. Clair and Estel and give the Tigers the lead, 2-1.

But Huron still wasn’t done. Corso stole second base with Moberg now on third. Kate We-ber brought in Moberg with a single. Then with ladies at sec-ond and third, Kelsey Kohler hit a double that scored Corso. Olivia Warren came up and brought home Weber for a 5-1 lead. Senior Abbey Cook then executed a sacrifice bunt to put Warren and Koehler on second and third. They would finish the inning stranded in place, but, still the damage was done.

Port Clinton mounted a two-run rally in

the top of the seventh, but Corso closed the door on a 5-3 win. Corso had 13 Ks and gave up zero walks to pick up her 10th

win of the season. She also went 2 for 3 at the plate with 2 RBIs and a run scored.

Kate Weber also went 2 for 3 with a stolen base and an RBI.

The very next night, the Tiger bats picked up right where they left off, scoring 16 runs on 19 hits. Twelve of the runs were scored in the first three innings. Corso fired another gem. While only throwing two strikeouts, she was very efficient surrendering only five hits, no runs and no walks.

Caroline Estel led the Ti-ger offense with three hits including a double, two RBIs, and three runs scored. Corso, again, had an excel-lent day at the plate going 3 for 4 with five RBIs. Lady Tigers with multiple hits on the evening included Melissa Moberg (3 runs); Lauren Volz (3 RBIs); Kate Weber (2 RBIs); Kelsey Koehler, Abbey Cook (2 RBIs); and Renee St. Clair (2 runs). Morgan Asberry also knocked in two runs with a single and stole a base.

“This was a good team win with everyone contributing …” started Coach Mike Ev-erman. “It was a great way to send out my three senior captains (Moberg, Cook, Corso) in their last game. The bats finally came alive today. A little late in the season, but I knew we had them.”

Huron’s final record was 13-14 and 7-7 in the SBC. Pitcher Hayley Corso finished

the year with an 11-8 record and sported an outstanding 1.36 ERA. In 146 innings pitched, she also collected 223 strikeouts and only 28 walks. She also led Huron at the plate with a .407 batting average.

The Huron Track Team participated in the District track meet held May 18, 19 and 21 at Oak Harbor High School. This was again one of the toughest districts in the state.

Qualifying for the regional meet from the Huron girls’ team was the 4x800m relay team of Eileen Moriarty, Rachel Miller, Erin O’Rielly and Maureen Giardina. Qualifying for the regional meet from the boys’ team was also the 4x800m relay team consisting of Dylan Corwin, Jake Hillman, Danny Nagy and Ryan Biddlecombe.

Individually, Treyvon Matthews qualified in the 110m high hurdles; Ryan Biddlecombe in the 300m hurdles; and Jake Hillman in the 400m dash. The regional meet will be held at Lexington High School today, May 27, and Saturday, May 29.

Pictured at left is Treyvon Matthews running the 110 M High hurdles.

Lady Tigers Finish 2010 with Two Wins

Kate Weber collides with the Port Clinton catcher at home plate who baubles the ball. The umpire calls Weber safe for a Huron score! Port Clinton fans are not pleased.

JV Softball SquadSweeps Redskins

The Huron JV softball team finished its season just as the varsity did – by sweep-ing the two-game series against Port Clinton Redskins in outstanding fashion. The junior squad picked up their third win of the season at Port Clinton by a score of 21-7.

Addie Allen pitched a complete game for Huron, but the real story was the Tiger bats producing 17 hits. Jessie Allen led the way going 3 for 5 with 3 runs scored and 3 RBIs. Mackenzie Adams also had three hits and scored twice. Angela Barbour drove in four runs and scored four times herself off two hits and two walks. Others with multi-ple hits included Megan McNulty, Addie Allen, Allie Martinez and Lexi Dixon.

The season finale took place at Fabens Park. This game against the visiting Redskins went down to the wire. In the bottom of the seventh, Lexi Dixon drove in the game winning run for a 7-6 victory. The Lady Tigers continued their strong hit-ting, but couldn’t drive in the runs as they did the previous night. This time they stranded 12 runners. Allen again pitched a complete game for the win. Martinez went 3 for 4 at the plate.

Although the Huron JVs finished the sea-son 4-16, winning their final two games was a shining moment.

Todd Marshall received the Dean’s Special Recognition Award, posthu-mously, at the College’s 41st annual Recognition Program recently. Mar-shall died unexpectedly in March and was recognized in April. The Dean’s Special Recognition Award is given annually to individual faculty mem-bers, administrators, classified staff or members of collaborative teams who have made exceptionally meritorious career achievements as well as recent accomplishments.

“This year’s award was bittersweet because Todd was not there to receive it. The entire College community suf-fered a great loss with his death. This award is a very special way of com-memorating what Todd meant to our students, faculty and staff,” said Dean Balzer.

Marshall earned his bachelor’s de-gree in biology, summa cum laude, from Bowling Green State University

and his master’s degree in biology from the University of Michigan. He joined the BGSU Firelands faculty as an instructor of biology in 1993. Prior to that, he worked as an adjunct instructor in the Department of Sci-ence at Lima Technical College and as an instructor/lab demonstrator in the Department of Zoology at The Ohio State University at Lima.

The Distinguished Teacher, Enroll-ment Management, Developmental Education, Campus Safety and Secu-rity, the McBride Arboretum Board, and multiple faculty search com-mittees are just a few of the ways he found to serve BGSU Firelands. As a community leader, he worked with the Workforce Development Council, the Erie County Solid Waste Management District, Erie MetroParks, Erie-Huron Community Action Committee, and local scout troops to protect our envi-ronment and educate student leaders

of all ages.Students were his top priority. He

was a superb instructor whose keen scholarship and caring demeanor em-powered students to learn and to suc-ceed. His teaching skills earned him a BGSU Firelands Distinguished Teach-ing Award, a National Science Foun-dation Graduate Fellowship Award, induction into Phi Kappa Phi Aca-demic Honorary Society, two Bowl-ing Green State University Academic Achievement scholarships, and places on the dean’s honor roll at BGSU and the University of Toledo.

The Todd Marshall Firelands Memo-rial Scholarship will provide new re-sources to keep students a top priority at BGSU Firelands. For contribution information, contact Stacey Hartley, college development officer, at 419-433-5560, Ext. 20719 or e-mail stac-eyh@bgsu.edu.

SANDUSKY – Two Parkvue Health-care Center residents celebrated their 100th birthday just days apart from each other.

Ethel Raber was born in Monroe, Mich., on April 26, 1910. She was raised on a 40-acre farm with three broth-ers and one sister. Ethel said: “We made enough on the farm to sup-port the family. We grew everything but sugar. We had

lots of animals.” Ethel graduated from high school and went to a business col-lege. She was married to her husband, Morris, for 30 years. They lived in To-ledo, where he worked for Dana Manu-facturing. They had one daughter, who now resides in Huron.

Ethel has lived at Parkvue Health-care for a little more than a year and is very independent. She enjoys harness horseracing, playing games and listen-ing to music.

Evelyn Ford was born in Lakewood, Ohio, on May 10, 1910. She grew up in Cleveland, then moved to Parma Heights, Ohio with her husband, Rob-ert, where they raised three children.

Evelyn and Robert were married 71 years before he passed away. Evelyn worked as a pri-vate switchboard operator.

Evelyn said: “I had a wonder-ful husband and I am very close with my children and grandchil-dren.” She also enjoys watching the Cleveland In-dians and read-ing books. Evelyn has lived at Parkvue Healthcare for almost four years.

In May and June as we drive around we notice all the beautiful colors of iris blooming everywhere. There are so many color combos that it is impos-sible to collect them all, but it is fun trying.

The genus came from Greek mythol-ogy from Juno, the goddess of mar-riage. Iris has become a legend and has been since the 6th century. The flower it’s self is composed of 6 segments and 3 falls. There are 3 segments which are falling downward, and have a furry beard. The inner 3 segments are called standards, and they rise up above the falls. Iris leaves are nearly flat, and vary in size from 3” in size to nearly 3’ tall. The plants grow on thick creep rhizomes, fibrous roots, or bulbs. There is an iris that will bloom almost anywhere, sun or shade, dry or wet soil, with either early or late bloom. All in all there are over 100 species.

When growing iris, remember not to cover the bulb or rhizome completely. Plant the iris where the label says, ei-ther in sun or shade, or part either. The hybrids prefer full sun for best bloom. Do not cut off the leaves after they bloom. Simply remove the stem, and leave the leaves as a decorative part of the landscape.

Another reason to leave the leaves is to keep careful watch on them. Iris’s are susceptible to a number of prob-lems including rhizome rot and bacte-rial soft rot. Iris borer is another com-mon problem.

First of all, remove any leaves with brown or black spots as soon as you see them, and this helps stop future out-breaks. With the borer, the adult moth lays eggs on the foliage, and the larvae travel down the leave to the rhizome and eat until there is nothing left. If you notice the leave are turning brown, or have pieces missing, dig the iris, re-move any damaged pieces, seal these pieces in a plastic bad, and put into the trash. Then replant the iris, preferably in another area.

If you see brown streaks and chewing damage, you should also pinch the leaves to kill the larvae inside. Then dig and cut out the damaged parts. Dip healthy parts into 1:9 solu-tions of bleach and water. Then replant.

Take a drive or a walk in your neighborhood, and notice the iris in full bloom. They surely are a sight to behold. Happy Gardening.
