Zac Behrens: A True Fighter

By Lisa yako Zachary Behrens has had to fight to live every day of his very short life. Zac was born prematurely just a little over two years ago. He had some initial problems, but Zac was able to come home to his family after a few weeks in the hospital. The next few months of his life were filled with growth and development, just as any babys life should be. Zac was actually developing rapidly and even rolling over sooner than expected. He was simply a joy to his parents, Katie and Dan, and his big sister, Alexis. At around five months of age, Katie noticed some changes in Zac. He was violently vomiting his food, and he was no longer able to move as well. In addition, his eyes were dancingly wildly. After being diagnosed with a bad case of reflux, Katie was sent home with Zac. Zacs condition did not improve with the reflux medicine, and she kept insisting that something was seriously wrong with her son. After about a month of misdiagnoses, Katie insisted that Zac be admitted to Rainbow Babies and Childrens Hospital in Cleveland for evaluation. A CAT scan revealed that Zac had a very large brain tumor that was causing a host of problems. Thus began the first of eight surgeries that Zac would undergo. Surgeons were able to remove a large portion of the tumor, but not all of it. The tumor robbed Zac of his sight, and altered the function of his pituitary gland and other portions of the brain that control bodily functions and development. After a few months, Zacs tumor began to grow again. Though the tumor was not cancerous, Zacs doctor suggested a 15-month treatment of chemotherapy to curb the tumors growth. Katie and Dans lives instantly changed with Zacs diagnosis, and they went from being Zacs parents to also being his advocates, nurses, and caregivers. Zac spent many of his days at the hospital in Cleveland, so the family decided to temporarily relocate from Huron to Avon to be closer to him. Zac was able to

the two men could ride together. There were two blind athletes that competed in the half triathlon with a partner who lovingly guided them along and prepared them for each challenge that came their way. Interestingly, one bike rider had a Barbie doll secured to the rear of his bike. Overall, all of the participants were very appreciative of the volunteers along the routes and were sure to express their gratitude. In speaking of his experience in the bike portion of the Rev3, Tim Golling exclaimed I had a great time. It was a well-run race. It was wonderful to see the Huron community supporting it. Randy Lehrer had a goal of completing the half triathlon in five hours. He reached his goal with a finishing time of 4:55:57. Lehrer stated The race went off perfectly, and the weather was just about perfect. Both Lehrer and Golling agreed that it was good to race on their home turf, and each were encouraged by seeing so many people in Huron who they knew and even those they did not who cheered them onward. Importantly, the Rev3 brought thousands of people to the area, who then patronized our local businesses and met with spectators and volunteers, producing quite the memorable experience for all.

Huron residents, Paul Hasenmeier, Tim Golling, and Chris Near (l to r).

The Rev3 Triathlon Rolls through Huron

By Lisa yako This past Sunday, some of the worlds finest athletes competed in the third annual Revolution3 Triathlon at Cedar Point. Approximately 1,500 athletes competed in either the full triathlon (2.4-mile swim, 112-mile bike ride, 26.2-mile run) or the half triathlon. Athletes competing in the half triathlon had the option of competing alone or as a team with each member completing one event. The competition included both professional and amateur athletes from around the world, as well as several athletes from Huron. Those Huron residents who competed included, but may not be limited to, Thomas Dusza in the full triathlon, Robert Cromley, Cori Dike, and Randy Lehrer in the half, and Tim Golling, Chris Near, Paul Hasen-

meier, Ken Bogden, Deb Bogden, Bob Boehk, Chad Kemp, Erica Kemp and several others who participated as part of a team. Though the swim and run portions of the competition took place in Sandusky, the bike route came through Huron. The Huron Police Department assisted in keeping athletes safe as they passed through town, and the Huron Fire Department oversaw swimmers from the fire boat off Cedar Point beach. Scores of volunteers spent 5+ hours of their day on Sunday working at the various water stations throughout the bike and run courses. In Huron, most of the volunteers that helped pass out water, Gatorade, and GU at the bike assist station on Jim Campbell Boulevard were associated with the Huron Cross Country team. All of these volunteers stated that they had a great experience and look forward to volunteering again next year. Volunteers had the pleasure of witnessing some of the more touching aspects of the race. One bicyclist who fell after hitting the rather large bump on Jim Campbell Boulevard assisted another rider who had a flat tire and had been waiting for over an hour for a repair crew. The injured rider not only provided the other man with a new tube but also waited for the repairs to be completed so

Zac Behrens from 1

2012 brought some hope for the Behrens family, and they moved back to Huron. Zac was seemingly doing well and developing. He said his first words, giggled, and learned to sit up unassisted. In March of 2012, Katie again noticed that Zacs eyes were moving erratically, and Dan and Katie thought maybe their son was regaining some of his sight. Unfortunately, Zacs sight did not return, and he was diagnosed with epilepsy. Zacs doctors tried various combinations of medicines to control the seizures, but sadly none have worked adequately. Due to the various complications associated with Zacs brain and the fact that his seizures are coming from several different areas of the brain, the seizures are now considered untreatable and are expected to take Zacs life. About two months ago, the family made the difficult decision to call in hospice for support, not only for Zac, but for all of them. Though no one knows how many days they have left to live, Katie and Dan are thrilled every day that Zac is still alive. Katie stated Each day that I go into Zacs room, and he is still alive, I thank God that I have one more day to be his mom. As can be expected, Zacs care has put a strain on the Behrens family in many ways. Dan continues to work, but recently received a small raise that consequently made Zac ineligible for continued support from Medicaid. Katie cannot work because she is the fulltime mom and caregiver for both Zac and Alexis, age 4. Yet, Katie does take some time to sell items on online garage sales to gain a few extra dollars. Thus, the family has now made the difficult decision to ask for help. They recently had collection jars located at Berardis and Dairy Queen, and are very thankful for the contributions the community made. Currently, the family has set up a web site (www.giveforward.com/prayersforzac) to collect donations and seek prayer support. Alternately, donations to the family can be made through Toft Funeral Home. When Zac was five months old, Katie and Dan told him that as long as he was willing to fight (to live), that Mommy and Daddy would be right by his side fighting along with him. The fight continues.

Focus on Huron
Firelands Historical Society
Firelands Historical Society members and friends will learn about the War of 1812 from the perspective of early settlers living in the Firelands area at a meeting at 7 p.m. Wednesday, September 19. The event will be held in the meeting room at 9 Case Ave., Norwalk, and will be free and open to the public. Speaker Louis Schultz, a native of Sandusky, is a member of the War of 1812 Bicentennial Commission and his collection of memorabilia of that war will be displayed at Hayes Presidential Center in Fremont from February to September, 2013. His talk will feature the response of the pioneers to finding themselves on the front line of the conflict, after the British captured the city of Detroit and the northwest Army. Schultz first became interested in his subject after a third grade field trip He is retired after 30 years teaching at Columbus Academy, a private school serving students in K through 12.

23rd Annual great black-backed gull watch this weekend

Sunday, September 16th , from 9:00 am to 12 Noon, The Friends of Harbour Town 1837 in partnership with the Erie County MetroParks, will be honoring Ohios Coast Weeks and will be presenting the 23rd Annual Great Black-backed Gull Watch at the Main Street Observation Deck, Main Street, Vermilion (Rt. 60) at Lake Erie adjacent to the museum building. This event is handicap accessible. Bring your binoculars and cameras and count the many birds. An Erie County MetroParks Naturalist will have a spotting scope and binoculars available for the public to search the sky, lake and break wall for the Great Black-backed Gulls, Bald Eagles, Osprey, and other birds species. If the wind conditions are right, we will keep track of migrating Monarch Butterflies flitting over from Canada on their way to Mexico to spend the winter. North Americas largest gull, the Great Black-backed Gull, has become a common visitor particularly in the winter along Lake Erie. At 30 inches in length and with a wingspan of more than 5 feet, it should be easy to pick out from the much smaller Ring-billed and herring Gulls. So, if you have not noticed this unusually large bird and want to learn more about their migration from Labrador to South America for the winter please join us! Brochures and fliers will be available of great events, birding, and Erie County Metroparks happenings. We look forward to visiting with all the birders, Greater Vermilion Area families, and guests who are traveling the area along the lake from other states and Canada. Do come and enjoy relaxing from the Observation Deck out to the beautiful lake. Take time to enjoy the beautiful setting of our town and tasty ice cream cones or eat at the many eateries in the downtown.

Fifth Grade Science Goes Global

Studying science in the fifth grade at Woodlands Intermediate School has been taken to a whole new level. Students of Mrs. Leah Lacrosses science classes are interacting with students across the country by participating in Mystery Skypes. A Mystery Skype is when two classrooms are able to interact and communicate through the computer while giving clues to each other about their location during a Skype call. The clues are relating to the classrooms state geography, location, science, and cultural history in which they reside. The partnering class must use the clues to figure out what state they are from while giving their own clues regarding their location, stated Mrs. Leah LaCrosse, Fifth Grade Science Teacher. The activity requires both quick and critical thinking skills, and knowledge in Social Studies and Science. The fifth graders in Mrs. LaCrosses room utilize the map puzzle, iPads, and team work to discover the mystery classs location, she explained. The Woodlands fifth grade students have already discovered learning partners from students in Alabama, Illinois, Georgia, California, Oregon, and Mississippi. They look forward to continuing their partnership throughout the year with science demonstrations, games and project sharing. At the end of the month the Woodlands fifth grade class will be traveling to the Stone Laboratory on Gibraltar Island just off of South Bass Island. Their goal will be to connect with their learning partners via Twitter to share their educational experiences on Lake Erie.

Thompson Rushes Tigers to 48-12 Win

Junior Cody Thompson took his QB play to another level Saturday in Norwalk, leading his Tiger Varsity football squad to a 48-12 victory over the always tough Nowalk St. Paul. In just ten carries, Thompson rushed for 243 yard and six touchdown. The other Tiger touchdown came on a 10 yard reception by senior running back Derek Daigle... of course thrown by...Cody Thompson. He threw for 146 yards, 104 which ended up in the hands of senior WR Aaron Driftmyer. Next up for Huron is the SBC conference show down against everyones preseason favorite, the Clyde Flyers.

Huron Cross Country Teams Compete at Tiffin Carnival

This past Saturday, the Huron High School cross country teams competed at the Tiffin Carnival, one of the largest cross country meets in the nation. The Tigers battled through injuries to put together two solid varsity performances. Out of 168 runners in their division, Sophomore Madi Mize led the womens team with another personal record (20:29, 30th place) and an inspiring performance! Freshman Abbey Black took lead of the Tiger pack with a huge personal record (23:56, 125th). Also part of that pack was Junior Katy Evers (24:00, 130th), Sophomore Alison Litz (24:03, 131st), and Freshman Hannah Blackwell (personal record of 24:16, 136th). Senior Hannah Smith finished in 32:15 (168th). The Womens team placed 20th overall in their division out of 25 teams. The Huron mens race consisted of 305 runners. The mens team was led by Sophomore Kevin Tomczyk (17:32, 40th). Junior Brennan Cockrell delivered his best race on the Tiffin course (18:45, 132nd), followed by three personal records from his teammates, Sophomore Sean Martin (20:13, 224th), Sophomore Graham Mast (21:27, 270th), and Freshman Jacob Fries (22:30, 286th). Junior Will Koenig finished in 25:31 (301st). The Mens team placed 40th overall in their division out of 46 teams. Both the Mens and Womens Cross Country teams will compete in the Galion The rains of last Friday evening and Saturday morning resulted in muddy Invitational on Saturday. conditions as the Huron Cross Country teams battled for position at the Tiffin Carnival this past Saturday.

Defense Carries 8th Grade Football; Tigers Start 2-0

Last Thursday, Hurons 8th Grade Tigers pulled out a gritty 10-6 victory over the Edison Chargers in Milan with a dominating team defensive performance. Leading the way for the Tiger defense was linebacker Will Steuk who amassed 11 tackles and caused a Charger fumble. Fellow linebackers Francesco Gioffre (9 tackles, caused fumble, fumble recovery) and Brandon Dowell (7 tackles) also turned in outstanding performances. Our linebackers really did play well today, said coach Adam Steinmetz, but thats a testament to the play of our defensive linemen keeping those guys free. Our D-Line played really tough today. In fact, both defenses were playing great as the score at halftime stood 0-0 (a first half Gioffre fumble recovery and return for a TD was called back because of a block in the back). Keeping in fashion with the game, it took a defensive play to break the scoreless gridlock when Huron defensive end Zach Cobleigh ripped through two would-be Charger blockers and tackled the Edison halfback in the endzone for a two point safety late in the 3rd Quarter. Huron capitalized on the shift in momentum as Quarterback Joey Harkelroad took a designed run around the right end and scampered 43 yards for a Tiger touchdown. After connecting with Steuk on the 2 point try, the Tigers led 10-0. Harkelroad led the Tigers in passing connecting on 5 of 8 tries for 67 yards and in rushing picking up 77 yards on only 7 carriesan impressive 11 yard per carry average. Francesco Gioffre chipped in 42 yards on 9 carries. Edison wouldnt quit however and quickly moved down the field to tack on a late touchdown pass which narrowed the score to 10-6. (Prior to scoring however, Huron safety Michael Boston intercepted a Charger pass and returned it 94 yards for a Huron touchdown but that, as well, was erased on a late hit penalty by the Tigers.). Cornerback Conor Fortune (6 tackles) intercepted the Charger two-point try and Tigers escaped with a hard fought victory. That was a heck of a tough game, said Head Coach Chris Folger, both teams played really physical football and the heat index was through the roof. I love the way our young men responded in the face of adversity. Next week the Tigers (2-0) host the Clyde Fliers (2-0) at 6:00pm at Huron Memorial Stadium in what should have huge implications on the 8th Grade SBC race. The Fliers dominated Bellevue (36-0) before beating defending SBC Champion Port Clinton (16-8) last week.

Huron Students Excel in Math

Huron City Schools is pleased to announce they are one of a few districts within Erie County that offers mathematic acceleration strategies in their curriculum. Many students in grades sixth and up are working ahead of grade level to ensure challenges and to reach full potential. The acceleration program begins with testing all fifth grade students at the end of the school year. Through a process of elimination from a series of assessments the students who score within a certain range make up the sixth grade Pre-Algebra class. The second highest range of scores generates a group of students that forms the Mathematics 6H class. This class studies from a 7th grade math book, explained Mr. Mark Doughty, Principal of Woodlands Intermediate School. The fifth grade testing process is based on knowledge and aptitude in order to be successful in the math acceleration program, stated Ms. Christine Standring, Curriculum Director for Huron City Schools. Currently there are 41 eighth grade students taking high school mathematic courses, 14 students taking Geometry and 27 students taking Algebra, explained Mr. Chad Carter, Principal of McCormick Junior High School. These students are in line to complete their high school math requirements by the end of their sophomore year and will be able to continue on with college level courses at that time, he continued. There will be approximately 25 sophomore students that have completed their High School mathematic credits by the end of this year, explained Mr. Scott Matheny, Principal Huron High School. Plans are in the works to determine the best avenue to continue to challenge and encourage these students to reach full potential through different courses of study, he explained. Some logical options for these students may include course work from the University of Findlay or BGSU Firelands, he continued. The administration recognizes not all students learn and progress at the same rate. Students need to be challenged and supported to reach their full potential. The benefits of acceleration are to match appropriate learning opportunities with student abilities and capabilities, stated Standring. Another avenue students have been able to obtain additional credit hours early on is through the Huron City Schools Credit Flexibility Program, stated Standring. The Credit Flex program is designed for students who demonstrate the ability, interest and maturity to accept personal responsibility for their learning in a selected curricular area, such as math in this case, and have the opportunity to pursue these avenues outside of the traditional school classroom settings with the approval of the School Board, she continued. For more information on the accelerated math program or the Credit Flex program log on to: www.huronhs.com
