Students in EHOVEs Firefighter programs in the high school and adult education use real equipment in their training. Thanks to a donation from the Huron Township Trustees earlier this month, those students have another vital piece to learn the critical hands-on skills that firefighters need. Trustees donated a Gruman Pumper/Tanker which will allow EHOVE instructors to perform a variety of new training tasks, which were not possible with the previous situation of only one truck. Thanks to the donation, instructors are now able to train students in scenarios that include pumper to pumper relays, attack engine, rescue engine, water shuttles and more. Huron Fire Department has been a contributing department to EHOVEs Firefighter training programs for several years through allowing students to utilize equipment to supplement practical skills sessions for years. Weve had a long standing relationship with Huron Fire Department when it comes to training and donated equipment, said EHOVE Fire Training Coordinator Doug Nash. For several years, since at least as long as Ive been at EHOVE, theyve been supportive. Its a huge benefit for departments to have firefighters trained right and on the right equipment. Nash says that another major benefit of having two training trucks is that multiple classes can

marY StraYer, maSter gardener, author Many people are asking which perennials are best for sun, and dry summers. Its no fun to have to be watering every day or two, and when you have a lot of flower beds, it becomes impossible. One of the first perennial I would suggest are daylilies. They come in almost any color besides pure white, live long, can last a lifetime, require water only in drought, and can bloom from mid-April through to frost. Lemon lily is an old fashioned antique lily, and is the first to bloom. You would have to look online for a grower, but well worth having. Many other lilies are available for late blooms, and there are repeat bloomers available now to the public. Shasta daisies, Leucanthemum x superbum, are also long term bloomers, and if deadheaded will continue bloom all summer. Some grow to 36 tall, while others maintain the 24 mark. They like full sun, and average sun, and only need to be watered in drought. Russian Sage, Perovskia atriplicifolia, which actually comes from Asia, is very long lived, and extremely easy to grow. It can grow to 48 tall x3 wide, has silver leaves, and tiny purple/blue flowers that attracts hummingbirds. Deer avoid this plant. Recently a miniature Russian Sage has been developed, and again, it can be located online only for now. It grows to 24, but has the same leaf color and flower description. Both grow in well drained soil. For the last 10 years or so, perennial geraniums have been strongly introduced
into our USDA Zone 5. They do best in full sun, but survive in part shade. They are long flowering, and wont tolerate standing in water. Many companies now offer selections of 5-10 different varieties and they too can be found at local greenhouses, big box stores, and of course some located on the internet. This year a new pure red perennial geranium names PacKate was introduced, and it was meant for hanging baskets, but will survive planted in our gardens as well. For the last few years many rudbeckia have been introduced and will grow locally. There are species with pink and green leaves, pure red leaves, and of course Arc Angel which is pure white. All in all over 23 varieties have been introduced this year alone. Most grow to 18 high, spread nicely, and broom from late May until first heavy frost. They love full sun, and well drained soil, and are drought resistant. Agastache is a relatively new introduction in our area, and there are many colors coming out. It is a very touch growing perennial, and hummers absolutely love it. It is important with this plant to read the ticket that comes with it, as some require much more water than others. Most plants are tall, 30-48, spread nicely, and love full sun. These are available at local nurseries and greenhouses, and worth the time to brighten your gardens. Have fun adding new plants and happy gardening.

Where the heart is
EHOVE Forensic Science student Dylan Shea (Vermilion HS) wrote a compelling story, which caught the attention of many people as he wrote a 15-page essay for his application for the Firelands Positive People scholarship. Firelands 17th annual Positive People Scholarship program took place last month at Kalahari. Shea has certainly had some extreme and very personal hardships, which was the focus of his essay. That essay caught the attention of the judges, who awarded him a $3,000 scholarship award. This is a big help and will help pay off tuition at Tiffin University, said Shea. Forensic Science Instructor Kelly Bodkin is very proud of Dylans success. Hes shared his story with me before and to see his accomplishments from last year to this year is amazing, said Bodkin. Hes been more successful than most kids. He has great leadership abilities, and he is going to achieve many great things due to his commitment to be a different person. Shea is a role model for kids, and stays very involved at EHOVE and in the community. He participates in SkillsUSA, Mock Trial, Project Ignition, Jump Start Program at the Vermilion Police Department, plays football, Shakespeare contest, G.L.A.S.S. and takes the leadership position in the Forensic Science program at EHOVE. Dylan is also an EHOVE blogger at www.EHOVEconnection.com, where he has shared his senior year experiences through written blogs and firsthand videos. Shea says was very shocked when he won the scholarship. When his name was called, Dylan walked to the front of the room, and gave a speech from his heart. He left many people in the audience in tears, as he shared his story and positive attitude about life. Keep going for your dreams, said Shea. People said I was an inspiration. If you are going to let your past control your future, then you are not as strong as you think you are. Shea has completed his time at EHOVE, where he was studying Forensic Science. Students in this program learn how to process crime scenes, conduct investigations, analyze evidence and understand criminal psychology. As part of his training, he earned certifications in 911 Telecommunications
Dispatching, OSHA, HAZMAT, Homeland Security, Evidence and DNA Handling, and CPR and First Aid. Shea plans to continue his training by attending Tiffin University to study Forensic Psychology with a minor in Homeland Security, then attend EHOVE Adult Education Police Academy after graduation. He plans a career in law enforcement with a final goal of working for the F.B.I.

A Family Affair
EHOVES Medical Assistant Adult Education Program recently participated in a fun Friends and Family Night event. This event allows students in the medical assistant program to bring either a friend or family member to class for the evening to experience different skills and become educated on what the students have been learning. This practice will aid in preparation for their required practicum of 200 hours hands-on in various physician offices. Examples of skills students are learning include: blood pressure checks, routine venipuncture, throat swab, urinalysis, vital signs, wound dressings, first aid, injections and blood draw. Medical Assistant Director and Coordinator Tonya Lloyd is in charge of putting together the annual Friends and Family Night, and has been doing so for the last three years. This is very important for my students because it helps them to be prepared for their practicum, and it helps my students understand patient education, said Lloyd. Friends and Family Night at EHOVE included a total of 15 stations. Each student in this program had six minutes at each station to explain various topics they have been learning throughout this program. Each student started off with his or her own project, then rotated to a different station.
