The Erie County Economic Development Cor-poration has appointed Peter H. Zaehringer as its new executive director.

Zaehringer was most re-cently an administrator for the Summit County Executive’s Department of Community and Economic Development in Akron. He was responsible for the creation of programs to enhance the lives of county citizens and businesses. Pe-ter has more than 15 years

experience in business development, marketing and sales in for-profi t and non-profi t sectors.

“I see tremendous opportunities in Erie County and look forward to working with community leaders, businesses and residents to propel eco-nomic development and chart the course for a prosperous future,” Zaehringer said. “I am excited to lead an organization whose board members are enthusiastic about economic development and see the possibilities ahead.”

Zaehringer is also the chief executive offi cer and president of Zynergy Global LLC. He established Zynergy Global in 2009 to help increase economic and business development activities between Eu-

rope and North America, with a focus on Ohio. “Peter has the leadership qualities and experi-

ence our board was seeking. We conducted an ex-tensive search that involved area community and business leaders in the interview process. Peter’s presentation rose to the top,” said Ted Kastor, Erie County Economic Development board president. “Peter is a true professional and brings a wealth of skills and has an international background that can only enhance his ability to attract and retain businesses to our county.”

Zaehringer begins his duties on Nov. 15 and can be contacted at 419-627-7791 or [email protected].

Bryan Erney, manager of Discount Drug Mart and his staff, sold hot dogs and baked good recently to raise $521. The funds helped Dial-A-Ride fi nance services to seniors in the city of Huron and the township. From left to right are: Dan-nielle Wiggins, Kyle Cooper, Rich Gordon, of Dial-A-Ride; Er-ney and Penny Breier. Not pictured are Drug Mart employ-ees who also worked on the fund-raiser: Harley Roberts and Lynn Chubak.

The Huron River Fest is gearing up for its 20th Anniversary celebration on July 8, 9 and 10, 2011. The Huron River Fest Com-mittee anticipates this event to be the greatest event ever. In order to adequately do so, the HRFC is in need of some fresh ideas and new faces to help pull it off. The River Fest Committee will be holding an Open House on Thursday, Nov. 18 at 7 p.m. at the Huron Boat Basin Building. This Open House is an opportunity for anyone who is interested in getting involved in their community while working with a fun, energetic group.

River Fest Weekend is often a time for family and friends to reunite and to gather to celebrate summer in Hu-ron. The weekend itself generates quite a bit of revenue for many differ-ent venues around town; it also offers a lot of good times and fond sum-mer memories for many of Huron’s residents. One of the main benefi ts of the weekend is to raise money to

be put back into the community – many businesses, civic organizations, churches and groups prosper from this event. One of the main goals ev-ery year for the River Fest Committee is to make the weekend enticing for the community as well as fi nancially prosperous for the many identities involved.

Whether you are a business owner who may have a special talent or skill, a resident with a strong desire to make this particular weekend better, or an established organization driven to do more – the River Fest Commit-tee is looking for you. A small com-mitment on the part of a few talented individuals part could ultimately serve the 20th Anniversary Celebra-tion of the Huron River Fest and the Huron community well. If you are interested in being a part of the plan-ning and detail work associated with the event and are unable to attend the Open House on Nov. 18, call Jennifer at 419-602-1340 or email [email protected] to express interest in participating in the committee next year.

On a cold, slick, and snowy evening, the Huron Tigers traveled to Elyria to face the Division IV No. 2 seed, Elyria Catholic, in a fi rst round play-off match-up. Huron advanced after defeating the Port Clinton Redskins the previous week. EC’s quarterback, Danny Reaser, had passed for more than 3,300 yards on the season – orchestrating a very high-powered offense. It was a game that most experts didn’t think Huron would even compete in, but the kids showed the large crowd in Elyria that they had plenty of fi ght.

Huron opened by promptly going three and out. But the defense stepped up big forcing the Panther’s high-octane offense to punt on their fi rst two possessions, then followed up by forcing them to give up the ball on downs. Huron took the ball on their own 26-yard line and mounted a drive down to the EC eleven. QB Brian Bollen-bacher threw a pass that went through his team-mate’s arms and was intercepted by Jake Lawler, who returned it 95 yards for the game’s opening score, 6-0. Huron would again mount a drive, late in the fi rst quarter, that took the Tigers down to the Panther 10. But a bad snap cost them 10 yards and Huron was forced to try a 32-yard FG, which was blocked.

It was in the second period where the EC offense began to come alive. Huron pooch punted the ball and pinned Elyria inside their own one-yard line. On the Panther’s second play, they ran the ball right past a blitzing Tiger linebacker and pick up 18 yards. Reaser then hit one of his receivers on a fl y pattern down the left sideline for a 53-yard gain. To make matters worse, Huron was hit with a personal foul on the play. First down and eight, Joe Dempsey ran the ball in for the touch-down and a 12-0 lead. On the EC’s next posses-sion, beginning at its own 22, Reaser struck on a pass for 33 yards. A few plays later, with 1:50 left in the half, Reaser crossed over the goal line from

fi ve yards out. Following a two-point conversion, the Panthers led 20-0.

Here was where the Tigers could have simply folded. But starting at their own 17-yard line and with less than two minutes left, Huron players marched down the fi eld – aided by a roughing the kicker call on a punt play that keeps the drive alive. Bollenbacher completed a couple of critical passes that moved the Tigers to the 12-yard line with just 10 seconds left. Then, WR Jake Hillman made a sliding catch in the end zone for the score, 20-7, to end the fi rst half.

Huron had their fi rst opportunity with the ball in the second half on the EC 39-yard line. On fourth down and three on the 32, the team was able to get to the 10-yard line. RB Justin Hicks ran it to the four. Then Brian Bollenbacher called his own number and ran up the middle for the score, which was now 20-14. The momentum truly seemed to have shifted the Tiger’s way. But Elyria Catholic changed tactics on the ensuing drive by predominantly running the ball through the Hu-ron defense. On fourth down and three, Reaser threw a deft touch with a 12-yard lob right over the Tiger defender to take a 28-14 lead.

Again, Huron didn’t quit on themselves. They mounted their own drive late in the third quar-ter. This one was capped off by a startling fourth down, 22-yard pass from Bollenbacher to Hillman that is tipped by an EC defender. Huron now only trailed by seven, 28-21 going into the fi nal period.

The Tigers spend the fourth quarter trying to mount that scoring drive that would give them victory. The defense continued to do their part by not allowing the Panthers any more points, but also struggled to get the ball back. Huron’s

best opportunity came with 7:33 left, when Bol-lenbacher hit Sean Fantozz on a 31-yard pass play that gets Huron to the EC 29-yard line. But on

fourth down, at the 24, the Panthers saved them-selves from disaster with an interception. The Ti-gers can’t pry the ball back for another shot. Thus, Elyria Catholic advances to the next round of the playoffs with a 28-21 victory.

The crowd from both sides was large and loud, despite the conditions. QB Brian Bollenbacher put on a gutty performance in his fi nal game in a Ti-ger uniform, going 20 of 46 attempts for 194 yards passing and two touchdowns. He also ran another one into the end zone. The Huron defense held Reaser to just 169 passing yards. RB Justin Hicks rushed for 46 yards while Brandon Krueger led the Tiger receivers with 7 receptions for 92 yards. Jake Hillman also caught seven passes for 63 yards and two touchdowns.

Tigers Fight Hard, But Fall Short, 28-21

The Tiger defense works hard to contain the fast Panther offense.

Senior Center Hosts Tea andEntertainment

The Erie County Senior Center is having a Christmas Tea at 2 p.m., Dec. 1. The event is titled “Tea in the Par-lor” and the entertainment is Norma Cook of Huron; Jack Hubbard of Milan; and Stephanie Kramer-Vetrone of Huron – “Norma and Her Songbirds.” Tickets are $5 and reservations can be made by calling Kramer-Vetrone at 419-621-4235, Ext. 29.

The Foundation for Firelands will be promoting health and well-being while supporting the Heart & Vas-cular Institute at Firelands Regional Medical Center, through the fund-raising event Salute! This afternoon of fi ne wines and gourmet cuisine will be held from 2 to 7 p.m., Sunday, Nov. 14 at Sortinto’s Little Italy Ristorante, 1220 Sycamore Line, Sandusky.

The open house style of this ex-clusive event allows all community members to enjoy discovering new wines and gourmet appetizers artful-ly prepared by the restaurant’s owners George and Jim Sortino.

A silent auction features items such as a private dinner for 12 in Sortino’s Little Italy Ristorante’s new God-father Room; hand-painted crystal wine glasses; a boat trip; and other wine and food-related items. The fea-tured wines will be available for sale.

Cost for the event is $50 per person,

which includes wine tastings, heavy appetizers, and a tax-deductible contribution to The Foundation for Firelands Heart & Vascular Institute Fund. A limited number of tickets are available.

George Sortino said: “The best ex-ercise for your heart is to give. It is our profound honor, on behalf of my brother Jim and our family to have the privilege to be involved in such a prestigious feel-good cause.”

The Heart & Vascular Institute at Firelands offers services ranging from general cardiology and the treatment of chronic heart and vascular condi-tions to advanced surgical techniques, including open heart surgery. The Heart & Vascular Institute Fund helps to provide needed items such as the LIFENET System. According to Tina Ammanniti, director of cardiac and respiratory services at Firelands: “LI-FENET is used by EMS personnel to

transmit critical information from the fi eld to the emergency room. Emergency room physicians utilize this information to determine if the patient is having a heart attack and if they need to mobilize the Cardiac Catheterization Lab for immediate treatment. LIFENET not only pro-vides the physicians with important information, but it also helps to ex-pedite care for the patient which can save a life and heart muscle.”

The time it takes to get a blocked artery open after a heart attack has a direct effect on the damage that the heart experiences, and even on the chances for recovery or survival. Studies show that patients who are treated in less than 90 minutes after a heart attack have improved outcomes and an increased chance for survival.

To make a reservation or for more information, call The Foundation for Firelands at 419-557-7150.

On Oct. 28, the Stone House, located among the ap-ple orchards of Quarry Hill Orchards on Mason Road in Berlin Heights, was offi cially listed on the National Register of Historic Places. This is the fi rst property in Berlin Heights to be listed on the National Register. The Stone House – a small Greek Revival structure built solely of quarried sandstone – qualifi ed for the National Register listing under Criterion C-architecture. The house was constructed around 1835 by Connecticut na-tive Joseph Tucker.

The National Register nomination was completed by Lisa Yako of Historical Research Partners of Huron at the request of William Gammie, owner of the Stone House and Quarry Hill Orchards and Winery. Gammie hopes to renovate the house now that its status as an archi-tectural gem has been confi rmed by the National Park Service. The nomination process from the preliminaryquestionnaire to the fi nal listing took over a year. Yako is currently working on the National Register nomina-tion for McCormick School in Huron.

BY REV. J. ROGER SKELLEY-WATTS, PASTOR, HURON UNITED METHODIST CHURCH

Don’t you just loooooove Novem-ber? So many meaningful events take place this month.

This pivotal month is preced-ed by Halloween, or as the church celebrates, “All Saints Day.” We remember the wonderful fam-ily members and servants of God who have paved the way before us. Even if they weren’t “saintly” people, the irritating stuff tends to fade away and the positive infl uences push for-ward into our souls. And although we may not always appreciate the secular trends, costumes and movies, some-how even that helps some folk come to grips with their own mortality – per-haps even looking up to God for help.

Then on the fi rst Tuesday of No-vember comes Election Day – fi nally all those negative political ads are over for a while – yeah!!! Next comes our opportunity to all pull together as agents of healing in Huron, Ohio, and

our beloved nation. Regardless of our political differences, we have much more in common than divide us. As people of faith, we should insist that those who represent us embody the best angels and work for the common good. Name-calling and obstruction-ism should not be rewarded.

Not long after civil rights marchers had died for their right to vote, I was on the Rev. Andrew Young’s campaign staff. My offi ce was bombed late one night, but he became the fi rst Afri-can-American congressman from the south in 141 years. Only a few years after the bloody civil war, I served as presidential election observer in El Salvador. Arriving early to my post, an elderly woman was already sitting at the door, dressed in a pressed purple outfi t, to cast her fi rst ballot safely in decades.

On a mission trip to Cuba, our cab driver was a college-educated profes-sor who lost his job and wife because he accepted Christ and dropped out of the communist party. Our son An-drew’s fi rst awareness of elections was Bill Clinton’s fi rst. I was able to fi nagle tickets to the inauguration. After the ceremony, from behind the Capitol, rose former President Bush #1 in his

helicopter, which hovered and bowed to the cheering crowd. Talk about peaceful transition.

We all have much for which to be thankful, and more than enough faith to carry us through any rough patch. On another November celebration called Veteran’s Day on the 11th, ask someone who served from WWII to today. Why, we’re even given an extra hour this month to be thankful, as Daylight-Savings Time ends on the 7th as we “fall back” and get to spend that same hour all over again. What a gift.

Almighty God, for those who wait on healing, send your Spirit. For those whose healing waits on a change of heart, send your wisdom. For those who walk the long road with friends or loved ones who yearn to be well, send your grace. For those who grieve the ones who are basking now in your glory, but whose absence leaves a dark hole, send your strength. For those who struggle to fi nd something for which to give thanks, may we be agents of your healing and wholeness and wellness, to send your amazing love to startle their hearts to life once again. Amen.

Sheryl Christan Vecchio Young

Nov. 6, 2010Sheryl Christan Vecchio Young, 66, of

Point Marion, Pa., was taken home to be with her Lord on Saturday, November 6, 2010. She passed peacefully at home with her loving family at her side, following

a three year brave and courageous battle with breast cancer. Born and raised in Point Marion, Sheryl was a daughter of the late Frank and Thora Fowler Vecchio.

A 1962 graduate of Albert Gallatin High School, she had resid-ed in Huron, Ohio for

20 years, traveling with her successful ca-reer with Essilor. Upon retirement, she re-turned to her family home in Point Marion.

Surviving are two daughters and their husbands, Siobhan and Scott Whitehead of Sterling Heights, Michigan, and Dawn and Michael Parr of Powell, Ohio; four grand-children, Brandon, Donovan, Bailey and Nicholas; and two brothers, Frank Vecchio of Dunkirk, Maryland, and Robert Vecchio of Los Angeles, California.

A celebration of her life will be held in late December in Point Marion. In lieu of fl owers, donations in Sheryl’s memory may be offered to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, P. O. Box 650309, Dal-las, TX 75265-0309. Arrangements are in the care of the Richard R. Herod Funeral Home, 501 Morgantown St., Point Marion, PA 15474.

The 27th annual Shipwreck and Scuba Banquet will be held on Nov. 20 and the topic the Edmund Fitzgerald, recognizing the 35th anniversary of its sinking. The speaker this year is Tom Farnquist, execu-tive director of the Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum in White Fish Point, who is the foremost authority on this shipwreck.

There will also be a unique presentation by David Mekker from Ontario, Canada, which will feature the “Alvin Clark” nar-rated by Joyce Hayward, founder of the Shipwreck Banquet who passed away in August 2009. This was a program she prepared but never had an opportunity to present.

The 2010 Underwater Images Photo/Video Contest winners will be announced by organizer Roger Roth during the Ban-quet Program.

There will also be presentations during the afternoon which include technical div-ing expert Sue Smith’s experience diving on the USS Monitor and a recent video will be shown by renowned shipwreck hunter, David Trotter on “The Mighty Goliath.” Trotter’s new program, “Fury of the Lakes,” will also be part of the Banquet Program.

Georgann Wachter, co-author of Erie Wrecks series of books will be present-ing “Sidewheel Steemers, Disasters of the

Great Lakes,” in the afternoon as well as woman diver Hall of Fame Jill Heinerth who will share her high-tech experiences of cave and iceberg diving titled “Chal-lenging the Unknown.”

Heinerth is also presenting a workshop on re-breathers in the morning for those who are interested in the future of scuba diving with this underwater breathing ap-paratus.

The Banquet Program will be held in the Wilderness Hall ballroom at Sawmill Creek Resort, Huron. Banquet tickets are now on sale through PayPal at the Bay Area Divers website, www.bayareadivers.net, or you may order tickets directly through Michelle Stoffan at [email protected].

For the sixth-grade class at St. Peter School, November opened with a three-day, outdoor learning experience at Mohican School in Butler, Ohio. Students packed their gear for the three days, and after arriving were quickly immersed in the environment in which their classes were taught. Ecology, geology, and nocturnal awareness were interwoven with creative writing, rock art and animal care. Forming new friendships and interacting with different people were also bonus experiences for St. Peter students, as they shared the camp experience with two other schools.

Being able to study many of the live animals in residence at the camp was of special interest to students. Natalie Wil-son and Hayden Farmer were amazed at the owl and red-tailed hawk. Natalie also enjoyed walking the goats. The compass challenge kept the interest of Jake Messer smith and Carlos Flores. Students discovered that fi nding the way through 17 clues by reading directions and degrees on a compass was a challenge. The food at camp was also some-thing memorable. Michael Boston described it as “deli-cious.”

Students were assigned to tribes when they arrived at Mohican and were given the responsibility of a job while they were there. Some swept the fl oor; others served the food; while others helped to recycle what was left over. Bragging rights for winning the citizenship award went to Evy Bates, Carlos Flores and Karl Atlagovich.

As a testimonial to the value of the three-day experience, Thomas Hufnagle shared: “If you love the outdoors you will love all the activities at Camp Mohican. When you go there you also meet really cool friends from different places.”

Dave Haynes, the sixth-grade teacher at St. Peter School,

was also impressed with the camp experience. “Well done classes, good organization and an enthusiastic knowledge-able staff made this a great experience for our kids,” he said.

Tigers defeat Bishop Ready 3-0 (25-20, 25-22, 26-24)

The Huron varsity volleyball squad spent the past weekend back at Liberty-Benton High School (south of Findlay), once again playing for a fi nal four berth at Wright State to defend their 2009 state title. Standing in their way was the Silver Knights of Bishop Ready (17-7) and in the regional fi nals, the Panthers of Rock-ford Parkway.

On Thursday, the Tigers opened the semi-fi nal match in a slow fashion, falling behind early, 6-3. With Kat Ferrell serving, Huron went on a 4-0 run following a well-placed dink over the net by Taylor Slauterbeck, an ace, and a Katlyn Sommer kill. After exchanging a couple points, the Tigers ran up a 15-11 lead forc-ing Bishop to call timeout. Led out of the break with a block by Erin O’Reilly and a Ferrell kill, the Silver Knights fell behind 21-12. Slauterbeck nailed the fi nal point for a 25-20 win.

The second set started in much the same manner

with the Tigers starting slowly, but then playing catch-up. Trailing 8-9, Ferrell contributed a block and a kill, back-to-back, to give Huron the lead. Both teams struggled with their serves (Huron with 14 total), but Bishop Ready’s problems seemed to come at precisely the wrong times. After a Devon Koenig block, then kill, Huron led 17-14. The Knights fought back – despite sloppy play from both teams – to tie the game at 20-20

apiece. Following another poor serve by Ready, Sa-mantha Wechter, then Slauterbeck both scored points – leading the Tigers on a 5-2 to close out the game.

The fi nal set and match, won by Huron, was an ex-citing 26-24 overtime affair. The Tigers fi rst three points were all kills by Ferrell who led the team with 12 for the match. She then nailed two aces to lead her team 11-8 lead. Meanwhile, libero Taryn Graham was wowing the crowd with great saves on some im-possibly fi erce kill shots. She would have 20 digs in all, while Slauterbeck would kick in 10 of her own.

The Tigers maintained a three-point margin much of the way until senior Devon Koenig scared every-one by going down with a sprained ankle at the 18-15 mark. The Knights battled back to tie the match at 18-18, then 21-21, and then 23-23. An ace by Ready gave them the lead briefl y at 23-24. This was followed by another poor serve that went long, which tied the match yet again. Ferrell stood tall for the second of her two blocks, then an errant Silver Knight kill shot put Huron in the regional fi nals on Saturday. Parkway would come into the fi nals with a record of 21-5, af-ter dispatching the Raiders from Lakota (23-2) in four games prior to the Tiger win.

Huron vs. Parkway in the Regional Finals While most in the crowd thought Parkway the bet-

ter team in the regional semi-fi nal match, they didn’t feel the Panthers were unbeatable. Huron opened up a quick 9-3 lead on two blocks and a kill by Katlyn Som-mer, as well as an ace by Hannah Figgins. (Sommer, Devon Koenig, and Slauterbeck would each fi nish with four blocks on the afternoon). Parkway called timeout. Ferrell nailed one of her 20 kills out of the break. Then the Panthers went on the offensive, scoring 10 out of

the next 12 points. Koenig stopped the bleeding with one of her 11 kills at 13-15. Parkway hitters Kelsey Bates and Emily Crowell were keys to the match by

keeping the Tiger defenders on their heels throughout. The Panthers also seemed to do a nice job of staying away from Graham as much as possible. While Huron scored evenly the rest of the way, they couldn’t make a dent in the defi cit and lost, 25-20.

Game two was evenly fought up until a Koenig kill forced another Parkway time out at 21-18. Ferrell fi red a kill for a 22-18 lead that immediately forced another Panther time. Ferrell would nail two more kill shots to give the Tigers their last set victory of the season, 25-20.

The third game saw Coach Wood call timeout af-ter his troops fell be-hind 12-8. Kill shots by Koenig and Ferrell and an ace by Slauter-beck brought the Tigers within two points at 11-13. But Huron was not able to move closer un-til after another break called for at 21-16. Then Koenig nailed two points, Slauterbeck hit one, and Wechter fi red an ace forcing Parkway to take their own time out leading just 20-21. Ferrell’s next kill, along with a Panther miss, brought Huron on the brink of forcing OT, but a bad serve that went wide saved Parkway, giving them a 2-1 lead.

The fi nal game of Huron’s season saw the opposition offense surging unlike anytime during their match with Lakota. The Tigers played tough defense with

Graham and Slauterbeck coming up big with 29 and 20 digs respectively. But Parkway made it diffi cult for Huron to mount any sort of lasting attack. The Lady Tigers trailed 5-1, then 10-5, then 13-8. Each time Huron would battle back to within a point or two. Fi-nally, after a Parkway kill attempt went long, the Tigers were able to tie it at 21 apiece. They tied once more at 23 after Ferrell hit her own kill shot then dropped a well-placed tap over the net. But, Parkway closed out the match with the next two points at 25-23 (3-1) to earn a trip to the coveted fi nal four.

Sensory-friendly Trip to MoviesFisher-Titus Medical Center’s Autism Spectrum Kids pro-

gram (ASK) has teamed up with Premiere Theater 8 in Nor-walk to bring families and children with autism and other dis-abilities a unique private showing of the movie “Megamind.” The movie will be adapted to be a “sensory friendly” fi lm, and will be shown 10 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 13 at Premiere Theater 8, 50 Theater Drive, Norwalk.

Children on the autism spectrum and with other disabilities can be oversensitive to light and sound, making it diffi cult for them to enjoy a typical movie showing.

“During sensory friendly fi lms the sound is turned down, the lights remain on, and there are no previews or trailers,” said Lindsey Soisson, speech-language pathologist and FTMC’s spe-cial program coordinator. “These modifi cations create a sen-sory friendly environment that will decrease the likelihood that the child will become over-stimulated.”

In regular movie showings, children are expected to remain seated and stay still and quiet for up to two hours, a task that can be very diffi cult for children on the autism spectrum.

“At our sensory friendly fi lm, children will be able to talk, sing, dance, walk around, move and take a break as needed,” said Soisson.

Children will be able to bring in their own gluten-free, casein-free, or other special snacks if on restricted diets, but the con-cession stand will also be open.

For more information on the sensory friendly showing of “Megamind” or any of FTMC’s pediatric programs, contact Soisson at 419-663-1975, Ext. 3040.

ing from 6 to 10 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 16, at the hospital, 272 Benedict Ave., Norwalk. Participants will learn CPR, breathing, resuscitation techniques, and choking response techniques. To register or for more information, call 419-660-2646.
