The McCormick Middle School eighth-grade Academic Challenge team brought home the Tri-County title last week after upsetting Nor-walk and Oak Harbor at Bowling Green State University Firelands Campus. Norwalk’s three-year winning streak came to an abrupt end when challenged by McCor-mick’s “magnificent eight,” a team made up of: Abby Wiseman, Mor-gan Odell, Benji Battiste, Jordan Stutzman, Kris Horman, Kevin Tomczyk, Spencer Maddox, and Will Koenig.

The team had advanced to the Tri-County Competition after sweep-ing the Erie County competition on March 11. The seven schools in Erie County that make up the San-dusky Bay Conference competed on that day, with McCormick’s eighth-grade Team taking first place.

Academic Challenge is all about “knowing trivia in five different ar-eas: math, language arts, science, so-cial studies and fine arts,” explained team member Emily Wiseman.

The diverse team is comprised of eight witty students – all of whom

clearly like to have fun. Outside of the Academic Challenge team these students are representatives from other areas of the McCormick fam-ily, which include: National Junior Honor Society; Student Council; Power of the Pen; Honorary March-ing Band; Cross Country; Track; Soccer; Football; Bowling; Wrestling; and there is even a unicyclist in the group. Aside from their diversity and their desire to have fun, they are motivated to suc-ceed. Will Koenig men-tioned practicing with the quiz sheets and the buzzers offered the team success; Emily Wisman felt balancing the team’s strengths and weaknesses also contributed to their first-place title.

The team agreed that the weekly practice for the past four months were well worth it and prac-tice competitions against the seventh-grade team

proved beneficial for both teams. The seventh-grade team also did very well, tying for second place in the Erie County competition.

“We hope to continue our success in High School,” said Spencer Mad-dox. The entire McCormick Eighth

Academic Challenge Team wanted to thank their teacher, Mrs. Sherry Rowen, and their principal, Mr. Chad Carter, for helping them to achieve their goal of obtaining the title “Champions of Champions!”

Firelands Habitat for Humanity is looking for individuals or fami-lies in the Huron area who might qualify to be Habitat homeowners.

An informational meeting will be held at 10:30 a.m. Tuesday, April 13 at Huron County Job and Family Services, 185 Shady Lane, Norwalk; or 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, April 20 at Your Job Store, San-dusky. Those interested in learning more about the program can call 419-433-2609 or 1-877-374-3487.

Habitat for Humanity is a home ownership program working in partnership with low income in-dividuals or families. Participants are chosen for the program on the basis of three criteria:

Need – They must have a need for housing. This can be anything from structural problems to over-crowding to excessive costs for ex-isting space.

Ability to pay – The program is geared toward individuals and families who fall within the range of 30 to 60 percent of HUD me-dian income limits. For a family of four in Erie County, the income

range would be $19,000-$38,000. The family must demonstrate an ability to make a timely monthly mortgage pay-ment including escrow for taxes and insurance. This housing ex-pense is estimat-ed to be $375-$400/ month. When construc-tion is complete and require-ments have been met, the home is sold to the indi-vidual or family with a mortgage written at 0 per-cent interest for a period not to exceed 25 years.

Wi l l i n g n e s s to Partner – the family must agree to put in between 400 and 500 hours

of “sweat equity” labor, attending workshops on homeowner-related

topics and helping to build houses of others as well as their own.

and Saturdays. Habitat ReStore accepts and recycles new or used building and remodeling materials that are in good condition, in an effort to save landfill cost as well as provide a tax deduc-tion. Items that are espe-cially needed are doors, win-dows, cabinets (kitchen or other) and working appli-ances (that are not more than 10 years old). ReStore provides donation pickup services once a week when scheduled in advance. Restore sells these items to the public at 50 to 70 per-cent off retail prices.

Clear skies and cool temperatures made for a perfect forecast for the Easter Bunny to make its annual appearance in Huron on Saturday. Over 175 children ranging between the ages of two and eight participated in the Huron Parks & Recreation Egg Hunt Saturday morn-ing at the Boat Basin. This number is up from previous years. “We have been lucky with the weather and we look forward to expanding next year,” stated Brian Croucher, Program Co-ordinator for Huron Parks & Recreation. New this year, Magician Greg Carson entertained people of all ages with his exciting magic and thrilling tricks. Several cartons of canned foods

were collected and donated to the food pantry at Lighthouse Church.

The morning was complete as it was kicked off with a community Pancake Breakfast

sponsored by the Lion’s Club and Stein Hospice at the Presbyterian Church. This year’s breakfast was a little different from past years. All of the proceeds from the breakfast were donated to the family of Vic

Nikolajev. The family received over $6,000 in donations from the breakfast combined with additional donations from the Lion’s Club, Stein Hospice, Huron Parks & Recreation, and Huron Presbyterian Church and other mem-bers of the community to help Vic’s son fight against Batten Disease (Neuronal Ceroid Lipo-fuscinosis). Vic has been a dedicated mail car-rier in Huron since 1994 with his route in the Wexford/Cleveland Road area and formerly in the Old Plat and Oklahoma areas. Over 400 people had attended and contributed to the pancake breakfast.

BEHIND THE BADGE

By John T. MaJoy, Chief of PoliCe

In the fall, I wrote an article on the new OhioBooster Seat Law that was passed. This law re-quiresthatchildrenages4to8rideinacarboosterseatunless theyare4 feet,9 inchesor taller. Thelaw went into effect on October 7, 2009, with asix-month period of warnings for violators.

The importanceof securing chil-drenintheproperchildboosterseatsisparamount.Ac-cording to theChildren’s Hos-pital of Philadel-phia,boosterseatshave been provento reduce thechances of suffer-ing significant in-juries in a crashby 60 percent inchildren ages 4to 7.

united MetHodiSt CHuRCH

So how did you feel about last Winter? One of the snowiest Febru-arys on record. Did you run out of places to put the white stuff?

My Dad’s 1979 Chevy Malibu Classic stayed parked in the driveway all Winter. My Saturn on one side, Joan’s Toyota on the other. All February long, we shoveled snow on top of the poor Chevy.

Until just a few weeks ago, the sun came out. Gradually, the snow banks all around the poor old car began to recede, until I could get the door open. Yes, it

had leaked oil on our new drive, which did not make my wife very happy.

But, you know what? With a little en-couragement and minor stalling, my Dad’s 1979 Malibu Classic started right up. So I could find the rear license plate, affix the new registration sticker, move it out for a drink of gasoline. What do you know about that?

Did the darkness of winter get you down? I know folks who need counsel-ing, medication, and UV lights just to make it until Spring. Didn’t it feel great when the temperature rose into the ‘50’s? Felt like a tropical heat wave!

Does it seem to you that just about everything that could go wrong went wrong? Political debate that degenerates into nothing but name-calling. Family issues that add to the stress load. A long

list of people in their prime dying way too soon. Economic growth tortuously slow and jerky. Everybody, it seems, has been sick. Problems pile on top of anoth-er until it seems that you just can’t catch a break.

But aren’t we overjoyed that these mal-adies are not the ultimate reality? Not only has an early Spring actually arrived, but we did even have a mild Winter until the one month of February.

My Dad’s old Chevy started right up. The driveway got cleaned. The sun is shining even behind the clouds — it just takes faith to see it! And that long list of temporary troubles? It may take time, but “this, too, shall pass.”

Healing does happen. Grief does lessen. Friends and family and family of faith do come alongside in places of need with a

word, a hug, a listening ear, a meal, a ray of hope.

That’s what Christ came to show us — not only is the glass 1/2 full instead of 1/2 empty, but it’s brimming over with blessings every day.

St. Paul wrote to the church at Philippi (3:8, 12, 14): “More than that, I regard everything as loss because of the sur-passing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord.

“Not that I have already obtained this or have already reached the goal; but I press on to make it my own, because Christ has made me his own...I press on towards the goal for the prize of the heavenly call of God in Christ Jesus..”

I hope and pray a joyous, hopeful, and happy Easter season. For “He is Risen! He is risen, indeed!”

In my studies recently I have learned that it really helps veggies to grow bet-ter, larger, and be a much more successful crop if you plant flowers near to them. For years, I have seen articles and books on things like carrots love zucchini, and plant basil in with your tomatoes to have a better tasting sauce. I always thought it was kind of stupid, but more and more of this informa-tion is out there, so I have tried a few things here on our property.

Vegetables growing on vines like cucumbers, mel-ons and squash need honey bees to pollinate them…then so do the rest of the crops that grow above the ground, fruit trees are a swarm of bees beginning in late April, through June. Cherries, nectarines, apri-cots, and apples all draw a parade of bees constant-

ly. The trees are p lanted in their own area towards the back of the l a n d -scape. To keep these plants happy, perennials could be planted near them to draw the pollinators.

Consider planting sand cherries to bring in the bees to your garden. These 8’ bushes bloom around the end of May, and draw bees to other fruit trees around. Don’t forget flowers need pollinators as well, so many of these tricks help a whole lot to get the job of pollination done in our gardens.

Another thing I have found really useful, is to plant oregano across one end of the vegetable gar-den. It is blooming from late July through frost, just the right time for toma-

toes and winter squash to be setting. They are also helpful with the cucum-bers and any other bloom-ing veggie. Oregano can also be used successfully in floral arrangements, and dry some (it dries per-fectly if hung upside down in the garage for a week in early fall) to table arrange-ments in late winter/early spring when nothing else real (growing outside) is available.

I also love planting herb-al sage around the patio to draw in the humming birds. They also spread pollen around, and the plant also attracts but-terflies to the area. I have also planted herbal sage out in the garden to draw the bees there as well.

Bees in the home garden are absolutely essential. To me, a bee is useful, and not menacing unless provoked. We have a lot of native bees in our gar-den, various colors from

green furry to black and brown ones, some with stripes and some without, but they all spread pollen, so unless they get where they CAN NOT be, I leave them alone. With all the problems with pollination now, and our loss of the beloved honey bees, I am careful to not harm the bees that are here.

From Dee Hartley, Senior tax aDviSor

at H & r Block

Many working taxpayers are eligible for the Making Work Pay Tax Credit, a provision created by the American Recovery and Re-investment Act in early 2009.

In 2009 and 2010, the Making Work Pay provision pro-vides a refundable tax credit of up to $400 for individu-als and up to $800 for married taxpay-ers filing joint returns.

The amount of the credit actually re-ceived during 2009 in the form of re-duced withholding will be reported on your 2009 tax return. Taxpayers who do not have taxes withheld by an em-ployer during the year can claim the credit on their 2009 tax return filed in 2010.

Taxpayers who file Form 1040 or 1040A will use Schedule M, Making Work Pay and Government Retiree Credits to figure the Making Work Pay Tax Credit. Completing Sched-ule M will help taxpayers determine whether they have already received the full credit in their paycheck or are due more money as a result of the credit.

Taxpayers who file Form 1040-EZ will use the worksheet for Line 8 on the back of the 1040-EZ to figure their

Making Work Pay Tax Credit. Certain taxpayers should review their

tax withholding to ensure enough tax is being withheld in 2010. Those who should pay particular attention to their withholding include: married couples with two incomes, individuals with multiple jobs, dependents, pen-sioners, Social Security recipients who also work, and workers without valid Social Security numbers.

Having too little tax withheld could result in potentially smaller refunds or – in limited instances – small balance due rather than an expected refund.

If you find you need to adjust your withholding, submit a revised Form W-4, Employee’s Withholding Allow-ance Certificate to your employer.

Did you receive a $250 Economic Recovery Payment in 2009? You’ll need to know if you are claiming the Making Work Pay Tax Credit on your 2009 tax return.

Only individuals who received in-come from the Social Security Admin-istration, Department of Veterans Af-fairs and Railroad Retirement Board received a $250 Economic Recov-ery Payment. (This is the way it was supposed to happen. I recommend checking your records and the IRS sources below to verify that you did or didn’t receive this payment)

If you received benefits from one or more of these agencies, but you are unsure if you received the $250 Eco-nomic Recovery Payment, you can

find out by using the “Did I Receive a 2009 Economic Recovery Payment?” feature online at IRS.gov or by calling 1-866-234-2942. These tools give you an easy way to verify if you received the one-time Economic Recovery Payment and which agency made the payment. These payments must be included when claiming the Making Work Pay Tax Credit on 2009 tax re-turns.

Certain government retirees who re-ceive a government pension or annui-ty payment in 2009 may be eligible for the Government Retiree Credit. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 provides this one-time credit of $250 for certain federal and state pensioners.

You can take this credit if you receive a pension or annuity payment in 2009 for service performed for the U.S. Government or any U.S. state or local government and the service was not covered by social security.

You cannot take the credit if you re-ceived a $250 economic recovery pay-ment in 2009.

This is a refundable credit, which means it may give you a refund even if you had no tax withheld from your pension.

To claim the credit, you must com-plete Schedule M, Making Work Pay and Government Retiree Credits, and attach it to your Form 1040A or 1040.

They only had six weeks, but they made it work. EHOVE Career Center Engineering Technology students built a robot with guidance from EHOVE Instructors Jim McIntyre and Steve Spriggs, and Engineer Mentors Alex Yeckley of Sierra Lobo, Rich Evans of NASA Plum Brook, and James Draper of BGSU Firelands/Lorain County Community College.

And they apparently put together a winner. At the ninth annual FIRST Buckeye Regional Robotics Competition Saturday held at the Wolstein Center, Cleveland State Uni-versity, the EHOVE team #2252, walked away with the top prize. Their regional win qualifies them to attend the na-tional FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) championship at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta, April 15-17. The competition this year included more than 60 teams hailing from across the nation.

FIRST, founded in 1989 by inventor and entrepreneur Dean Kamen, combines extreme sports with engineer-ing and technology to inspire young people’s interest and participation in science, technology and engineering. Sponsored by the NASA Glenn Research Center, the event challenges high school students, with guidance from pro-fessional mentors, to design and build a competitive robot to play in a game called Breakaway. The game is played on a 27-foot by 54-foot field, with two groups of three teams attempting to earn points by collecting soccer balls in goals or suspending the robot in air at the end of the match.

EHOVE Engineering Technology student Alex Prosser, Bellevue High School, said: “The process starts with a kick-off event with an opening ceremony where we re-view the rules. Then our next step is brainstorming.”

The members offer up ideas that turn into prototypes that eventually turn into the robot. “The best part is put-

ting it together, then firing it up,” said Prosser. The group also won the Innovation in Control Award, for their gyro control, which allows the robot to move in any direction regardless of which way it’s facing.

There’s a lot of testing involved too. “We test the code a lot to see if the robot has good reactions and strong com-ponents,” said EHOVE Engineering Technology student Aaron Ohlemacher, Norwalk High School. “Our robot was very reliable.”

“Our sponsors have been great. We couldn’t have done it without them,” said McIntyre, who is working to find additional funding for flights and hotels so the students can attend the national competition.

Sierra Lobo was the primary sponsor of the event. Oth-er sponsors included: Riley Contracting; Elektron Forge; John McIntyre Jr.; Schlessman Seed Company; Carol Kuns Family; JBT Foodtech; Smart Consortium; Martha Holden-Jennings Foundation; NASA.

EHOVE’s team mavericks were: juniors – Dustin Bot-tomlee New London HS; Jason Clevenger, Huron; Daniel Dechant, Huron; Eric Gildenmeister, Margaretta; Randall Harper, Bellevue; Makenzie Jones, New London; Andrew Lasnoski , St. Mary Central Catholic; Theren Vickery, Bel-levue; Taylor Webb, Margaretta. Seniors were – Cody Wat-kins, Western Reserve; Aaron Ohlemacher, Norwalk; Alex Prosser, Bellevue; Matthew Price, New London; A.J. Mon-day, Danbury; Nathan Chambers, Edison; Shane Martin, Perkins.

Non-EHOVE students were: Addison Spriggs, Al-exander Spriggs and Brian Evans.

Huron High School Senior Adriana Deluca was recently awarded the DePaul University Community Service Scholarship. Adriana was awarded the four-year, renewable schol-arship of $8,500 per year after completing an essay discussing her extensive involvement in community service. After being chosen as an essay finalist, she then attended a private interview at DePaul.

Adriana was instrumental in the formation of Teen Leadership Corps’ Youth Council.

She assisted in the development of Teen Leadership Corps’ Cleveland Indians High Achiever’s Leadership Academy; has volun-teered with Boys and Girls Club; and has significantly contributed to numerous other service events with Teen Leadership Corps.

There are only 30 recipients of this Service

Scholarship, from about 600 applicants.This select group has demonstrated an ex-

ceptional record of community service and has exhibited longevity and consistency in their community service as well as a deep un-derstanding of their services. Adriana will be enrolled in the Community Service Studies minor program and complete a minimum of 30 hours of community service each quarter.Deluca

Senior Adriana Deluca Awarded Community Service Scholarship

A recent project of some EHOVE Ca-reer Center Career Development students made a big difference for one community organization.

Utilizing $250 from EHOVE’s Educa-tional Development Corporation Fund – monies received from donations, projects built by students in the carpentry program, and EHOVE’s annual Trash to Treasures event – the students researched possible outreach projects meant to benefit the community. For this project, the students decided to purchase items for the animals at the Humane Society of Erie County.

Students selected items from the So-ciety’s wish list at www.humanesoci-etyoferiecounty.org, then researched the lowest prices in the area. Through their hard work, they were able to purchase about a half ton of cat litter and more than 100 toys for the animals. The students and their instructor, Duane Koch, delivered the donations last week.

“We are so grateful for the supplies. Their timing was perfect,” said Humane Society of Erie County Director Amy Porter. The facility, which is funded entirely by dona-

tions by area citizens and businesses, was down to its last bag of cat litter when the EHOVE students delivered the donations.

Porter also said it takes about $300,000 each year to run the shelter and supply donations found on their wish list are wel-comed. She said they also need foster fam-ilies because it’s “kitten season.” Another way to support the shelter is to purchase Easter baskets for pets. More information can be found in the special events section of the Web site.

The Career Development program was developed to help prepare students for the workforce. They keep busy with more than the community service project – ex-ploring different avenues of the industry in which they’re studying; learning financial management and money skills; and de-veloping resumé building skills are some of the areas of instruction they receive. In the past, the Career Development program has funded projects to feed local families during the holidays or help needy students with supplies to keep them in school.

Varsity Softball Coach Mike Everman has had a busy off-season. But such is life these days for a coach building a program. You don’t do it for the money, but for the kids and the love of the game. Everman, his wife Wendy, and a host of other adults have donated their time to build a softball pro-gram beginning at the elementary school level up to senior high. Now, in his fourth year at the helm, the Tigers seem primed to contend for an SBC title against the likely conference favorite, Edison Chargers.

The Lady Tigers are returning seven let-ter winners, all of whom were starters from last year’s varsity squad. The seniors – pro-viding leadership as captains – are pitcher Hayley Corso, third baseman/pitcher Me-lissa Moberg, and first baseman Abbey

Cook. Corso was named to last year’s sec-ond team all-SBC as a pitcher with a 2.00 ERA. She also led the team with 24 RBIs. Moberg had a 3-1 record from the mound and led the squad in stolen bases with 12. Cook hit a very respectable .324 on the sea-son, which was good enough to earn her SBC all honorable mention last year.

Underclassman expected to contribute and make up the bulk of the squad include junior shortstop Lauren Volz; pitcher/out-fielder Olivia Warren; sophomore outfield-er Katelyn Weber; and second baseman Renee St. Clair. Volz, a three-sport stand-out, led the team in hits with 31 and a .369 average. She was name honorable mention in the North West District for the state of Ohio as a shortstop. Weber, as a freshman,

earned second team all SBC for her play in the outfield. Also excelling as a freshman last year and name honorable mention in the SBC was Renee St. Clair. New additions to the squad include sophomores Caroline Estel, Kelsey Koehler, and a freshman from Georgia named Morgan Asberry.

According to Coach Everman: “Our pitching staff is three deep and probably the deepest in the SBC. I can throw any one of my three pitchers and win games. All have won at the varsity level with two seniors and a junior. It’s a good problem to have as a coach with pitching depth.”

Other strengths of the team include its defense, returning the entire infield, and its speed. But the head coach does note that his catchers include a sophomore and

a freshman. That is a key position to be so young. “But the team did win several SBC games last year with then-freshman, Katelyn Weber, behind the plate last year,” Everman is quick to point out in his always optimistic way.

Huron’s coaching staff is made up of John Johnston (pitchers); Joe Anthony (asst. varsity); and Kevin Bible, who will lead the JV squad. The 2010 varsity looks to im-prove on last year’s 7-7 SBC record and a district semi-final loss to Edison during the state tournament. The team also hopes to move into a new field on the grounds of Woodlands Elementary at some point this season. Until then, they will play at Fabens Park.

Varsity Softball Team Has High Hopes for 2010

Cancer knows no age, race or gen-der. It can strike young or old. For the past 50 years, local residents diag-nosed with cancer have found com-fort and aid through Cancer Services in Sandusky, a local non-profit agency that helps local cancer patients and their families.

‘More than 25,000 people in 50 years have received direct help during the difficult process of treatment for all varieties of cancer,” said Peg Miller, director of Cancer Services.

In 2010, plans are under way to cel-ebrate one-half of a century of minis-tering to area cancer families. To hon-or this 50-year legacy, Cancer Services is planning a year-long celebration filled with events and open houses. An upcoming event includes the an-nual Spaghetti Extravaganza with the AMVETS Post 17 on April 11.　

The non-profit agency offers a va-riety of services including help with breast prostheses, wigs, nutritional supplements, special equipment,

transportation and countless other types of support. Educational pro-grams and support groups are also included in the activities of this long-standing organization. In 2009, Can-cer Services helped a total of 426 per-sons with cancer including 347 clients in Erie County and 79 clients in the northern part of Huron County.

Cancer Services is located at 505 E. Perkins Ave. For information, call 419-626-4548 or visit www.freecan-cerservices.org.

formed in 1873 by members of the Methodist Church and remains a church-affiliated vacation resort. It is

located in Ottawa County’s Danbury Township, near the town of Marblehead.
