Progress Around Town- The Pier

By Lisa yako Many exciting projects are underway around Huron. Though these projects do not always proceed as expected, sometimes you have to make a bigger mess before things get better. Such is the case with the ConAgra silos, the road construction on the Cleveland Road Bridge and on Main Street, and the pier. In the end, all of this means that things are progressing around Huron. Great changes are apparent at the pier due to the ongoing Huron Pier/Lighthouse Improvement Project. Several weeks ago, City employees completed the widening of North Main Street up to the entrance to the pier. The stone that was used for this aspect of the project was taken from the ConAgra demolition site. Most recently, Buckeye Tree and Crane Service completed the initial removal of foliage and tree growth along the pier. Before the next phase of construction begins, the City needed to revise its 25-year lease agreement with the Army Corps of Engineers. With this agreement, the City will be permitted to proceed with the following aspects of the pier project, most of which will be completed in July: 1. Concrete Cap and Installation of Observation Deck on the Block House, 2. Installation of Galvanize Railing, 3. Installation of ADA Ramps along pier and accessing Observation Deck, 4. Additional Tree Clearing north of the block house; 5. Vegetation Control along west side of pier, and 6. Asphalt Cap over stone base section and widening of access point. The Huron Pier/Lighthouse Improvement Project is estimated to cost $97,000. Funding for this project was taken from Economic Development Fund 277. According to City Manager, Andy White, The Finance Committee recommended the Council sequester one time revenues generated from a large estate tax deposit solely for the use of projects supporting community, economic or capital infrastructure improvement. Further, White explained that over the next few years, the City will consider completing additional work on the pier and lighthouse including a landscaping plan to replace some of the cleared vegetation and grass planting to allow for greater recreational access into the Contained Disposal Facility (CDF); installation of utilities, including lighting; pedestrian access paths inside the CDF; a walkway along the entire perimeter of the CDF and exploration of a joint governance partnership for annual maintenance. In the end, the pier and lighthouse area of Huron will not only be more aesthetically pleasing, but it will be more accessible also. Overall, Hurons city leaders are working toward goals to enhance the quality of life for and economic benefits to Huron residents. This truly is an exciting time for Huron!

She was known for her smile and her big hugs. She always had a way of cheering you up. She was a great leader and motivator and loved to work with little children. Michelle graduated in 2001 and was on the Volleyball 1999 State Championship Team and the 2000 State Runner-Up Team. She was also the 2000 Homecoming Queen. She will always be remembered for her smile, her positive attitude and her team spirit. Both girls attended Bowling Green State University where they were roommates. Ryan wanted to be a Math Teacher and Michelle was studying to become a Nurse. Their vibrant lives were cut short when they were killed in an automobile accident on March 15, 2002, along with 4 other roommates. To keep their memory alive, friends Kirsta Solberg and Aubrey Miller began the first Inspiration Run to remind everyone how much Ryan and Michelle still inspire them to keep a positive attitude, keep friends and family close, live life to the fullest, and live a healthy lifestyle. Please come out to Fabens Park to support the Scholarship Fund and be inspired to run/walk to celebrate the legacy of Ryan and Michelle!

Cancer Services Charity Golf Outing 2012 - Benefiting people with cancer! Sandusky, Ohio, Wednesday, July 11, 2012: Cancer Services Charity Golf Outing 2012 is scheduled for Wednesday, July 11, 2012 at Eagle Creek Golf Club, a premier golf club in Norwalk. The event is open to the public with food, drink, on-course games and prizes.

The cost is $95 per person and includes green fees, cart, lunch and dinner. Cancer Services Golf Outing started as a community event and the community has responded, said Peggy Miller, Cancer Services executive director. They have taken it personally because cancer is personal. Each year the number of participants and teams grows. Many of us in our communities have family and friends who have had cancer or know someone who has lost their battle with cancer. Cancer Services is there to provide assistance and hope by lifting the burden of this devastating disease of cancer. This event will benefit Cancer Services programs that include: financial assistance for cancer-related medications, travel reimbursement to medical appointments, liquid nutritional supplements, medical equipment loans, wigs and more, at no charge, here in North Central Ohio. Last year the event raised over $10,000 for this worthwhile cause. Sponsorship opportunities are still available for the event. We also have a new opportunity this year to celebrate someone by contributing to be a Tribute Hole Sponsor at our Charity Golf Outing, Miller said. Tribute Hole Sponsors will be able to honor someone special by having a hole sponsorship with a twist. Sign-up forms to be a Tribute Hole Sponsor, as well other sponsorships, are available online at the Cancer Services website: freecancerservices.org or call Cancer Services at 419-6264548.

ATTORNEY GENERAL HELPS COURT WITH COLLECTIONS

By Judge Bill Steuk, Huron Municipal courT The Huron Municipal Court has recently entered into an agreement with the Ohio Attorney Generals Office (AG) regarding the collection of unpaid fines and court costs. Under this agreement, the Court will submit certain unpaid claims to the AGs office regarding offenders who have failed to pay for court fines and court costs. The AG will, in turn, use their office to pursue collection efforts. This can include attaching state income tax refunds from those offenders. There is no cost for utilizing the AGs services to the court or to the citizens of this community. A fee will be charged to the non-paying offender for the AGs costs in the collection efforts. The court certainly welcomes the partnership with the AGs office as this will be used as an additional mechanism for enforcing the Courts judgments. 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.

FSOs Jamie Steinemann appointed chair of League of American Orchestras committee

Jamie Steinemann, executive director of the Firelands Symphony Orchestra (FSO), will join leaders of the nations largest orchestras while serving on the board of the League of American Orchestras. Steinemann was appointed chairman of Groups 7 and 8 of the League, which includes approximately 250 orchestras with budgets of $500,000 or less. The League is the national support and advocacy group for more than 850 member orchestras including the Cleveland Orchestra and the New York Philharmonic. In this role, Steinemann will represent the interests of smaller budget orchestras and participate in the efforts to ensure the future vitality of symphonic music. She, along with her co-chair, will lead group sessions for smaller budget orchestra executive directors at the annual conference and mid-winter managers meetings in New York City. Jamie excels in her creative approach to the unique challenges of managing a smaller budget orchestra, said Jesse Rosen, President and CEO of the League of American Orchestras. We are pleased that she is willing to take this position, to help guide and strengthen the leadership of similar sized orchestras. Steinemann recognizes the unique advantages of smaller entities, such as the FSO. Orchestras overall are undergoing a transformative period, she said. Although all arts and cultural organizations are facing challenges, smaller budget orchestras tend to be more flexible and resilient in economic downturns. We have to understand what our communities want and program to their needs. At the recent annual League conference in Dallas, the dominant theme was innovation in orchestras. Traditional models are being expanded to include community outreach in settings such as prisons, shelters, hospitals and senior living homes. Lifelong learning and reaching individuals outside of the concert hall are current goals of orchestras. Smaller budget orchestras are accomplishing these goals by becoming involved in their schools and communities, and by providing free concerts when possible. The FSO plans more than 20 school outreach programs in the 2012-13 school year, and a free outdoor concert at BGSU Firelands campus on Aug. 25. Students are offered complimentary tickets to concerts during the school year. FSO musician ensembles will perform in assisted living and nursing homes, as well.

Preparing Your Home for Summer

BY LiSa Yako Summer is now officially here! First, summer heat can cause high cooling bills. To reduce your costs, make sure that your air conditioner is in good running order. It is best to hire a trained professional to tune up your unit so it is working properly and efficiently. If your air conditioning unit is more than 10 years old, it might be time to upgrade to a more energy-efficient model. Now is a good time to either tune-up or replace your system because First Energy is offering rebates for both. You can receive a $25 rebate for tuning up your existing central air conditioner or up to $150 on the installation of a new, high-efficiency central air conditioner. For more information and to locate a certified HVAC provider, visit www.energysaveohio-home/hvac or call 1-888-243-6808. It is also important to regularly replace or wash the filter on your heating/cooling system. Other ways of reducing your energy costs include closing blinds and curtains during the hottest part of the day, especially for south-facing windows, and making sure all doors and windows are properly caulked and weather-stripped. The outside of your home will need some attention this summer to keep out critters, especially spiders, insects, and bats. There are several means of dealing with the abundant spiders. Many local businesses offer spider spraying; check in the phone book or online for a list of providers. Alternately, you can do the spraying yourself with products purchased at a local store, or mix your own solution if you want a natural means of spider control. To create a natural solution, mix one tablespoon of an essential oil, such as peppermint, citronella, or tea tree oil, with one quart of water and five tablespoons of natural dish soap. Spray weekly on any surfaces where you might find spiders. Ants could also be a problem this time of year, so be sure to properly seal your house, especially around doors and windows, and be diligent in cleaning up food crumbs. Bats are beneficial in that they eat many insects, but at this time of year, they are looking for somewhere to raise their young. Take some time to thoroughly inspect your home for gaps in the roof and also along the foundation. Seal any gaps in the foundation with spray foam. Some other tips for keeping your home in good running order include cleaning your gutters. Cleaning out the entire length of your dryer duct and finally, vacuum the coils of your refrigerator to help it to run more efficiently. This will be especially important to keep your summertime beverages cold! In the end, a small amount of time spent in preparing your home for summer will be beneficial for both peace of mind and cost savings.

Cosmetology Coordinator Gena Vanover is very optimistic about graduates success in the workforce. The ones who have graduated all have jobs, said Vanover. The 18-month program at EHOVE includes not only a cosmetology license but also a managers license, so that students and graduates can manage their own business someday. Graduate Ciera Johnson is so excited to begin her career. EHOVEs program offered very good hands-on experience, which is exactly what I needed and helped with my learning ability, said Johnson. EHOVES Adult Ed Cosmetology Program is great. I absolutely feel ready for the workforce, and I would recommend this program to anyone. No unemployment in this industry. If you want to work, you have a job. Any student can make 20,000 to 80,000 a year, depending on location, said Vanover.

Moving On To The Next Step

EHOVE students, family, friends, partner school principals and superintendents, Post Secondary Partners, instructors, staff and the EHOVE Board of Education and Administration celebrated with graduates for EHOVES Career Center Senior Recognition Ceremony at the Sandusky State Theater on May 25. With just about every single seat filled in the theater, its no wonder EHOVE choose to have two senior recognitions: 830 am and 11:00 am. After the presentation of the Colors, Forensic Science student Haley Olds (Monroeville HS) sang a beautiful rendition of the National Anthem. EHOVE Superintendent Sharon Mastroianni and Principal Rod Smith welcomes the crowd and commended students and parents. After each student received his or her career portfolio containing the validation of work performance, awards, certifications, resume, letters of verifications and recommendations, the crowd enjoyed the Senior Music Video. The video featured a compilation of images and videos of the students, plus a popular section of them performing and lip syncing to the popular *NSync song, Bye Bye Bye. Tears and laughter filled the theater with many proud graduates and parents as memories were displayed on a big screen of this past year at EHOVE. Firefigher/EMT student Ashley Jett (Margaretta HS) felt great about todays ceremony. It went really well, said Jett. I am ready for the real world and EHOVE has helped me become prepared and ready to move forward. Students were not the only ones feeling proud. Jetts mom, Linda, felt the ceremony went great. I am so proud of my daughter Ashley, said Linda Jett. Shes following in her fathers foot steps who is a fire chef. EHOVE is a great start and a great way for anyone to jumpstart their future, said Jetts father, Kerry. EHOVE has great quality teachers and their technical fields. The ceremony was great, said Criminal Justice student Josh Langenfelder (Perkins HS), who will be attending college this fall for Natural Resources Law Enforcement. It is finally hitting me we are moving on and going to college. I am going to miss my classmates and teachers. I am so proud of Josh and all that he has accomplished at EHOVE, said his father, Bob. I would recommend EHOVE to anyone. Its such a great place for youths to jumpstart their careers. Today was awesome, said Health Tech student Asha Pearson (Perkins HS), will be going to the University of Toledo and majoring in Health Care Administration. I am super excited to move forward. EHOVE has well prepared me for my future. Some graduates plan to go to college, others to a career. Some will go back to EHOVE for further education. Wherever they choose to go, they are ready and excited. I am going back to EHOVE for Paramedic and Fire Fighter Level Two, said Jett. Piper Wheeler (Norwalk) plans on entering the workforce for cosmetology and she also has some other big plans in mind. I will be going to BGSU Firelands College for business, said Wheeler. Someday, I want to run my own salon. Graduates showed excitement and readiness to tackle their future and eager to fulfill their dreams and goals in life. Congratulations to the Class of 2012. A large number of photos of the ceremony are available at www. Facebook.com/EHOVEworks.

Generous Donation That Works

EHOVES Electrical Tech program received a very generous donation of three tool kits from Wolf Bros. Supply in Sandusky and Greenlee Tools. Electrical Tech instructor, Chuck Oeder, is very impressed by the donation. Thousands of dollars worth of tools were donated to my Electrical Tech program, said Oeder. This is amazing in todays economy to receive donations from businesses to help with students education. Bill Porter from Wolf Bros. Supply in Sandusky Ohio helped start the Klein Tool program back in 1999. Klein has provided a $250 Electricians Tool kit to the top Electrical Tech senior every year. This year I was able to secure two additional $300 tool kits from Greenlee Tools for two additional seniors, said Porter. The seniors who received the donated kits this year were all part of EHOVEs Summer Jumpstart Program (summer internship/on-the-job work experience) and have had superior ratings from their employers. They also were in the top of their class in academic performance, attendance, and lab related work. Students selected for the tool kits were: Nick Doughty (St. Paul HS) received the Klein Tools package. Doughty has been active as a Skills USA voting delegate and has been employed with Norweco Co. in (L-R) Adam Stierhoff, Nick Doughty, Cody Hicks Norwalk, Ohio. He will be attending Ohio University in the Fall studying Electrical Engineering. Cody Hicks (New London HS) received one of the Greenlee kits. Hicks did a year long internship with NASA Plumbrook Station and is currently employed with All Phase Power & Lighting in Sandusky, Ohio. He will continue an apprenticeship program when he graduates. Adam Stierhoff (Margaretta HS) received a Greenlee kit. Adam has been working with R.J. Beck Security in Norwalk, Ohio. Stierhoff worked with R.J. Beck and he will continue his employment after graduation. Students showed a lot of gratitude for the generous donations. This is a great donation said Stierhoff. It saves me money and is a great tool set. I think its great they are investing in our education. Tools are very expensive to buy, so the donation helps tremendously, said Doughty.

Visual Communication Design students from EHOVE recently received recognition for their original artwork for the Ohio Duck Stamp contest. Melissa Enderle (Norwalk HS) placed 3rd out of the State of Ohio for High school students. Her artwork will be displayed throughout the state of Ohio for this upcoming year. Cory Goolman (Edison HS) and Brittni Flemming (Monroeville HS) each received honorable mention. We were given a list of ducks to choose from, said Enderle. I picked the ruddy duck because it has very colorful wings. Enderle says she has always expressed passion and shown talent with her artwork since a very young age. The contest took place in April, and results were released only recently. There were a total of 500 entries. Forty five were for high school students alone. Any age could participate in this contest.

Fisher-Titus Honored with Ohio Hospital Association Environmental Award

Fisher-Titus Medical Center was honored with the Melvin Creeley Environmental Leadership Award during the Ohio Hospital Associations annual meeting in Columbus on Monday, June 11. This was the second-consecutive year that Fisher-Titus has been awarded this prestigious recognition. The Melvin Creeley Award honors hospitals that promote sound environmental practices through environmental stewardship and exemplify best practices for other hospitals to emulate. Fisher-Titus is one of 10 hospitals throughout Ohio to be honored this year. This award does not focus on a specific project, but rather the Medical Centers continuing efforts to reduce our impact on the earth and achieve environmental stewardship and sustainability, according to Patrick J. Martin, Fisher-Titus president. We have been a leader in environmental stewardship for many years resulting in a multitude of environmentally sustainable practices at Fisher-Titus. Its latest success story is its composting program that regenerates food waste into compost that is used in the hospitals landscaping. The initiative is a cooperative effort of hospitals environmental services department and dietary services department and Allied Waste and Barnes Nursery, a local recognized expert in composting, said Lisa Meyer, director of environmental services at Fisher-Titus. Fisher-Titus is the first hospital in Ohio and the seventh in the nation to create this type of sustainability program, Meyer said. Programs such as composting have earned Fisher-Titus numerous environmental awards, including being a five-time recipient of the American Hospital Association H2E Partnership for Change Award, which recognizes health-care providers that make changes in their operations and facilities to protect their communities health and the environment. The changes Fisher-Titus has instituted over the years have been driven by the organizations goal of Sustainability: Zero Waste through source reduction, recycling and re-use. Fisher-Titus Environmental Services Department has spearheaded this process, beginning with a mercury reduction program 16 years ago and continuing with many other hospital initiatives. One of Medical Centers earliest environmental projects was to eliminate mercury within the hospital. All mercury-containing devices, including mercury-based fever thermometers and blood pressure monitors, mercury-containing pharmaceuticals, mercury-based cleaning products, and mercury-containing novelty items sold through the gift shop, have been eliminated at Fisher-Titus. As a part of that initiative, Fisher-Titus also participated in the EPAs Green Lights Program eliminating all mercury-containing lights in the Medical Center. The Medical Center extended its mercury-reduction efforts outside the walls of the hospital with a series of community Mercury Thermometer Exchanges where local families could exchange their mercury fever thermometers for safer digital versions. More than 45 pounds of mercury were removed from Huron County communities and 2,773 fever thermometers collected and safely disposed, earning Fisher-Titus the Ohio EPA Mercury Challenge Award in 2003. In 2006, Fisher-Titus organized a public initiative to provide education and awareness training to homebased sharps users on the dangers of improper syringe disposal into the public waste stream. As part of the program, the BD Clipper, a home needle destruction device, is available through the Medical Centers Laboratory and Industrial Health departments. Within the Medical Center, a reusable sharps container system promotes employee safety through its direct drop needle disposal design and significantly reduces the amount of plastic waste in landfills. From 2008 through 2011, over 60,000 pounds of plastics were diverted from the landfill. Fisher-Titus environmental program also includes using Green Solutions environmentally friendly cleaning supplies wherever appropriate; recycling and reuse initiatives; regulated medical waste reduction; solid waste reduction; and integrated pest management. We believe that an important way to promote the health of the communities we serve is to protect the environment we all share, Martin said. In our daily practices, there are many opportunities to consider environmental stewardship. We thank our employees for their commitment to and involvement in our sustainability programs. The Creeley Award is named after Melvin Creeley, the retired president and CEO of East Liverpool City Hospital who served as chairman of the Ohio Hospital Associations Environmental Leadership Council from its inception in 2001 to 2010.

vice president of administration and business development. Yet, patients and their families will notice some added features during their visit to Fisher-Titus for emergency and outpatient services. Designed for Patients When designing the space, the overall patient experience was at the forefront of the planning. This $12.5 million expansion allowed Fisher-Titus Medical Center to re-engineer the ER patient process from admission and registration to the delivery of care to ensure the best outcomes and the best overall experience for our patients and their families, said Fisher-Titus President Patrick J. Martin. More space is one feature of the new facility. The existing emergency department including registration/admitting and outpatient laboratory was a little more than 14,500 square feet. The new 29,500 square-foot facility has been equipped with the right mix of lobby seating, as well as more private areas for patients registering for tests. As you enter the main lobby, you will notice a registration counter designed with two different types of patients in mind, Strayer said. A registration area for the Emergency Department patient is to the left and a registration area for Outpatient Services is to the right. So depending on your needs, our Registration/Admitting staff will direct you either to the left for Emergency Services or to the right for Outpatient Services such as Laboratory or Radiology Services. The Main Lobby also includes a Childrens Play Area, equipped with a fun interactive gaming system to help occupy the younger crowd while they are waiting. Fisher-Titus Medical Centers Emergency Department is specialized for the care of patients with acute illnesses and/or injuries. Fisher-Titus is Huron Countys only hospital certified by the Healthcare Facilities Accreditation Program (HFAP) as a Primary Stroke Center and fully accredited as a Chest Pain Center through the Society of Chest Pain Centers, as well as verified as a Level 3 Trauma Center. In 2011, more than 26,000 patients were treated in the Fisher-Titus Emergency Department. Each of those patients represented a unique case that required our medical professionals in the emergency department to adapt to a wide range of circumstances, Strayer said. This new facility takes into account the complexity of the patient mix we see in the Emergency Department and how we can best serve each individuals needs in a timely mannerwhether that need is diagnosing a strep throat or treating a stroke patient. We want to get the patient where he or she needs to be as quickly as possible whether that is a trauma room, minor treatment area or an observation area. The new space has a total of 22 rooms including 11 treatment rooms (including universal rooms and rooms to accommodate womens health and behavioral health needs), four trauma rooms, a clinical decision unit with a nurses station and four observation rooms, a minor treatment area with three rooms, a triage area and a blood gas lab. Features that may not be as visible include new technology and enhanced processes that will improve workflow. For patients accessing outpatient services, features include an expanded registration/admitting reception area with four private registration rooms, an updated telecommunications center and a financial counseling office. A new laboratory draw area equipped with four private collection stations also is part of the outpatient services side of the facility. The Outpatient Lab had 43,285 visits in 2011.
