All Entries Must Be Submitted by Friday May7 BY LISA YAKO OF HISTORICAL RESEARCH PARTNERS A series of tragic events led Andrew F. Linker to Huron in the late 1800s. Andrew Phoenix Linker was born on a farm on Galloway Road in Perkins Township on May 22, 1870, to John C. and Margaret Linker. Andrew’s mother, Marga- ret, died in 1878, and his father, John, died in 1888 after being run over by a train. Since adulthood, in the legal context, was not reached until age 21, Andrew came under the guardianship of family friend, Gustavus Gra- ham. Soon, Andrew came to live with the Gra- ham family and helped maintain their farm at 3419 Cleveland Road in Huron Township (currently owned by the Barnes family). Fur- ther, Andrew became the sole heir of Gustavus Graham after the Graham’s only daughter, Cora, committed suicide in December of 1888. n 1902, Andrew married Emma Josephine Frye. Emma, the daughter of Jacob and Emma Frye, was born in April of 1878, was raised in Huron, and graduated from Huron High School in 1894. She attended college in Berea, Ohio, where she obtained a teaching certificate. Emma taught in a one-room school house in Huron prior to and after her marriage. Af- ter Andrew and Emma’s wedding, the newly- weds lived with the Graham family. Andrew and Emma were blessed with three children, Lurella Belle born in 1904, Ivan Graham born in 1905, and Donna Rose born in 1921. The Linkers were quite active in the commu- nity and served on many committees. Their involvement included the Erie County Grange, the juvenile Grange, the Women’s Council of National Defense, the County Health League, the Erie County Fair, the Knights of Pythias, the Rye Beach Food Club, the Farm Bureau, and the Sandusky Library Trustees. Tragedy visited the Linker family when Ivan Linker died in July of 1919, at the age of 13. Ivan had been swimming with some friends at Rye Beach. The waves were large and the strong undertow caught Ivan and pulled him out of reach of his friends. His body was not recovered until the following morning. Andrew’s primary occupation was farming; yet, as the hard times of the Great Depression overtook the country, the Linkers, like most American families, could not survive on farm- ing alone. Around 1930, the Linkers opened their home to tourists as the Ridgewell Inn. In addition, two chicken coops that sat north of the house were converted to cabins and then rented to tourists. Later, the Linkers added a gas station to their offerings, which was locat- ed across the street on the corner of Cleveland Road and Camp Street. Later, the Ridgewell Inn also offered tennis courts and a miniature golf course for the guests. The Linker’s contin- ued to welcome tourists into their home until Andrew’s death in 1942. After Andrew’s death, Emma remained in her home for the next eight years. She was hav- ing difficulty maintaining the property and her daughters encouraged her to sell. Being fiercely protective of her home, Emma would not sell the property to just anyone. She espe- cially would not sell her home to someone that intended to turn the house into a liquor estab- lishment because she was strongly opposed to the use of alcohol. In 1950, Harold Barnes was looking for land along the lakeshore upon which to grow roses. Emma agreed to sell the property to Harold since his intentions were agricultural. After selling the property to Har- old, Emma moved to Sandusky. She remained in Sandusky until the time of her death in 1959. Emma was buried with Andrew and Ivan in the Oakland Cemetery in Sandusky.

A series of tragic events led Andrew F. Linker to Huron in the late 1800s. Andrew Phoenix Linker was born on a farm on Galloway Road in Perkins Township on May 22, 1870, to John C. and Margaret Linker. Andrew’s mother, Marga-ret, died in 1878, and his father, John, died in 1888 after being run over by a train. Since adulthood, in the legal context, was not reached until age 21, Andrew came under the guardianship of family friend, Gustavus Gra-ham. Soon, Andrew came to live with the Gra-ham family and helped maintain their farm at 3419 Cleveland Road in Huron Township (currently owned by the Barnes family). Fur-ther, Andrew became the sole heir of Gustavus Graham after the Graham’s only daughter, Cora, committed suicide in December of 1888.

n 1902, Andrew married Emma Josephine Frye. Emma, the daughter of Jacob and Emma Frye, was born in April of 1878, was raised in Huron, and graduated from Huron High School in 1894. She attended college in Berea, Ohio, where she obtained a teaching certificate.

Emma taught in a one-room school house in Huron prior to and after her marriage. Af-ter Andrew and Emma’s wedding, the newly-weds lived with the Graham family. Andrew and Emma were blessed with three children, Lurella Belle born in 1904, Ivan Graham born in 1905, and Donna Rose born in 1921.

The Linkers were quite active in the commu-nity and served on many committees. Their involvement included the Erie County Grange, the juvenile Grange, the Women’s Council of National Defense, the County Health League, the Erie County Fair, the Knights of Pythias, the Rye Beach Food Club, the Farm Bureau, and the Sandusky Library Trustees.

Tragedy visited the Linker family when Ivan Linker died in July of 1919, at the age of 13. Ivan had been swimming with some friends at Rye Beach. The waves were large and the strong undertow caught Ivan and pulled him out of reach of his friends. His body was not recovered until the following morning.

Andrew’s primary occupation was farming; yet, as the hard times of the Great Depression overtook the country, the Linkers, like most American families, could not survive on farm-ing alone. Around 1930, the Linkers opened their home to tourists as the Ridgewell Inn. In addition, two chicken coops that sat north of the house were converted to cabins and then

rented to tourists. Later, the Linkers added a gas station to their offerings, which was locat-ed across the street on the corner of Cleveland Road and Camp Street. Later, the Ridgewell Inn also offered tennis courts and a miniature golf course for the guests. The Linker’s contin-ued to welcome tourists into their home until Andrew’s death in 1942.

After Andrew’s death, Emma remained in her home for the next eight years. She was hav-ing difficulty maintaining the property and her daughters encouraged her to sell. Being fiercely protective of her home, Emma would not sell the property to just anyone. She espe-cially would not sell her home to someone that intended to turn the house into a liquor estab-lishment because she was strongly opposed to the use of alcohol. In 1950, Harold Barnes was looking for land along the lakeshore upon which to grow roses. Emma agreed to sell the property to Harold since his intentions were agricultural. After selling the property to Har-old, Emma moved to Sandusky. She remained in Sandusky until the time of her death in 1959. Emma was buried with Andrew and Ivan in the Oakland Cemetery in Sandusky.

By Judge Bill Steuk, Huron Municipal court

When you deal with stat-utes on a regular basis, you sometimes come across statutes that are quite un-usual. Since we are in the Easter season, I came across

one statute that was quite fitting. Under Ohio Revised Code Section 925.62, it is il-legal for any person, firm or corporation to dye or otherwise color any rabbit or baby poultry, including but not limited to chicks and ducklings. This law also makes it ille-

gal to sell, offer for sale, expose for sale, or raffle or give away any rabbit or baby poul-try that has been dyed or otherwise col-ored. This law was established in 1971 and has not been amended since. So although someone might find it cute, you cannot dye a rabbit or baby poultry for Easter. A viola-tion of this section is a misdemeanor of the fourth degree.

Articles appearing in this column are in-tended to provide broad, general information about the law. Before applying this informa-tion to a specific legal problem, readers are urged to seek advice from an attorney.

andy WHite, city Manager

At its regularly scheduled meeting of April 27, 2010 the City Council considered a number of important legislative items which in-cluded several amendments to the Codified Ordinances and Annual Budget, region-alism, capital infrastructure improvements.

Codified Ordinance Up-dates

The introduction of new personnel and perspective in the Law Department has provided an opportunity to review longstanding policy incorporated in local law. The Codified Ordinances establish the legal param-eters for the regulation of activities in the city rang-ing from applying to con-duct a garage sale at your home (741.04) to placing material on public property (970.08) to restricting the focus and aim of headlights (337.17). Periodically the laws are reviewed to reflect

any needed changes. A complete copy of the ordi-nances is available at http://www.cityofhuron.org/city-council.htm.

Three ordinances amend-ing the code were consid-ered on a first reading by the Council on Tuesday evening; in order to become permanent law the legisla-tion will be read at two ad-ditional meetings. Chapter 159, which regulates the city’s purchasing func-tion, was recommended for amendment. Specifically, the threshold limitation requiring a full bid pro-cess for purchasing equip-ment, currently limited at $15,000, would be raised to $25,000 to allow for an improved flow of business at city hall. The city would still seek quotes prior to procurement, and any final acquisition would be sub-ject to legislative approval by the Council. This ordi-nance has not been amend-ed since 1999 and the rec-ommended threshold of $25,000 is the standard for similar activity at the state level.

Ordinance No. 2010 – 17 recommends an increase of the fee to utilize the shelter rentals in the city’s parks system by $5. Currently the fee is $25.00 per day for residents and $35.00 per day for non-residents; if approved the fees would change to $30.00 and $40.00 respectively. In addition to the increase, a tiered use is recommended that would establish morning, after-noon and all day uses. The morning and afternoon rate is $30.00 and $40.00 for residents and non-res-ident and these amounts would be doubled for an all day event. The proposed amendment will provide increased flexibility for the rental of shelters. His-torically, shelters have been available to rent for events on a daily basis, which re-stricts the additional use during periods when the shelter is not needed by the renter. The proposal will

now allow individuals to rent a facility only for those hours needed, while allow-ing for additional activities to be held at the same shel-ter during different times of the day.

Finally, Chapter 721 of the Code which regulates Taxi-cab operations in the city has been recommended for amendment, specifically to increase the fee associated properly licensing the op-eration. The current fee, es-tablished in 1962, is $15.00 for the initial taxicab and $10.00 for each addition-al. If approved, after three readings, these amounts would change to $50.00 for the first cab and $20.00 for each additional cab. Addi-tionally, operators within the City need only to pro-duce a State issued certi-fication as opposed to the previous policy which re-quired the City to issue a separate license.

BudgetUpdateIn total Council approved

the increase of $24,600.00 for unanticipated receipts including $12,100 for an estate tax allocation, over $6,000 for the sale of equip-ment and $5,000 for the receipt of a grant award for the Parks and Recre-ation Department from the Sandusky Erie County Community Foundation (SECCF). On the expense side of the ledger, the coun-cil approved an expense of $5,000, utilizing the SECCF grant award which will ac-commodate the installa-tion of concrete curbing at Lakefront Park and the in-stallation of child-friendly groundcover surrounding the play equipment.

The Council also set a date for a Public Hearing to discuss the annual Tax Budget on June 8, 2010 at 6:30 pm at City Hall. The document will be available at the Clerk’s Office and the municipal website on or be-fore June 1, 2010.

RegionalismResolution No. 2010 – 29

was authorized by Council to enter into an agreement

with the Erie County Com-missioners for the provi-sion of Human Resources. Since 2004 the city has been without a full time depart-ment head in this position and limited in its ability to accommodate a full time replacement because of budgetary constraints. In place of full time personnel, department head positions have assumed a number of additional responsibilities to accommodate the void.

The cost for this agree-ment is $5,000 and will continue the professional relationship between the two parties established last year. Essentially, the city receives the benefit of a so-phisticated human resource program without the over-head associated with in-house personnel.

The Council also autho-rized an analysis of its water distribution system with an emphasis on its overall abil-ity to take on greater vol-umes of water. In 2009, the city conducted a leak detec-tion survey and discovered a large leak flowing into a stream and accounting for a large volume of lost water. After the necessary main-tenance was completed the filtration plant is now in a position to sell more water.

In an effort to stabilize or reduce local water rates the Council is exploring the city’s ability to accom-modate a large bulk water customer to guarantee an amount of the available surplus. The cost to push more water through the existing system is relatively fixed. Therefore, an agree-ment with a new company or local agency to purchase more water could bring in excess revenues that would be used to hold costs down, provide for needed capital or reduce current rates.

The analysis will be an important tool for the city’s future planning in this re-gard and also provide use-ful perspective in ongoing regional water discussions. Ultimately, the city will be best served through the implementation of a policy that has positive regional impacts.

Capital Improvement –StreetResurfacing

The Council is in the midst of planning for the 2010 street resurfacing pro-gram. Eight streets have been selected for improve-ment this season, including: Williams, Shirley, Mill, Hu-ron, Tyler, Paris, Stedman and Riverside Drive. Sever-al alternatives for each sec-tion will ultimately be con-sidered in the bid for the possible inclusion of new curbs, sidewalks and addi-tional cosmetic features.

The portion of Riverside Drive from Main Street to Laguna is in need of a com-prehensive improvement. What is proposed in 2010 is a short term repair that will improve the current surface for a three to five year peri-od. This will allow for nec-essary planning needed to for the implementation of new infrastructure includ-ing curbs and sidewalks on this entire street in the fu-ture.

Two proposals have been received for this work and are being reviewed now. It is anticipated the project will be awarded at the next Council meeting.

Huron Boat Basin

Huron City Schools has received a grant from the Ohio Department of Education to offer a “Parent Academy.” This program is set for Wednesday, May 12, at Woodlands Inter-mediate School from 5:30 to 8 p.m. There will be planned programs and activities for both parents and students.

During this program, attendees will learn about the school lunch program and how it can be part of a healthy diet. Physical activity, the use of MyPyramid and portion size will also be discussed. Several local vendors will have displays set up showcasing their offerings and how they can help with

better nutrition and physical activity for the whole family.A light dinner will be provided along with a take home

“healthy” snack. There will also be games and door prizes at this family event.

For more information or those with questions can call Food Service Director, Sue Whitaker at 419-433-1234, Ext. 5007; or School Nurse Janis Wallace at 419-433-1234, Ext. 5511 with questions. More information and an RSVP tear~off form Will also be sent home with students in the near future.

Students in kindergarten through the fourth grade in the Huron School System participated in the “Watch Me Grow” program in their physical education classes last week. Twice a year the students are challenged with an age-appropriate checklist to determine how they are progressing. The first sets of records were taken in mid-September shortly after the school year began. The second sets of records were recorded last week.

At the end of the school year a letter and detailed report will be sent home to parents informing them of their student’s progress. Important information such as height, weight and blood pressure changes along with vision and hearing assess-ments are all noted, as well as the progress of the physical activities on the individual grade level checklists. “The data is entered into a system to generate BMI reports. These re-ports come from the Center for Disease Control,” said Dana Skavnak, physical education teacher.

“The “Watch Me Grow” Program is a modified version of the “Presidential Physical Fitness Test”,” Skavnak said. The school system added a few important key elements, such as: height, weight, blood pressure, vision and hearing to round out the program. Physical activities kindergarteners were asked to complete included catching and throwing a bean bag, kicking a stationary ball, hopping on the right foot, then the left, galloping, skipping, changing direction while run-ning, summersault, and hopscotch. First grade students were observed dribbling a ball, jumping rope, galloping, skipping,

changing direction while running, summersault, hopscotch, sit and reach and the balance disk. Second-, third- and fourth-grade students were observed doing sit-ups, push-ups, standing long jump, jump rope, galloping, skipping, sit and reach, and shuttle run.

New this spring, nursing students from Lorain Community College’s School of Nursing assisted with the program. “It is a great opportunity for the Nursing Students to see healthy active kids, as well as, the nursing students have been of great help to the program,” stated Skavnak.

The program was made possible by the parent volunteers who contributed their time to help assess every student.

“Our parent volunteers are extremely helpful,” Skavnak said. “Without their help the program would not be possible.”

This past weekend, Huron played host to eight area teams for the Artie Miller Invitational. The men’s team led by Dylan Corwin, Kyle Miller, Jake Hillman along with Ryan

Biddlecombe and Treyvon Matthews, went on to place third against the likes of Edison (won both girls and boys titles), Bellevue, Margaretta, SMCC, Norwalk, Monroeville

and Willard. The Huron girls finished eighth in the event.The Huron Invitation was started in 1976 and has been

held every year except 1980 and 1981 (reason uncertain) and 2005, when it was canceled because of inclement weather. It originally was called the Huron Athletic Boost-er’s Invitational until the 1990s, when it was changed to the Huron Artie Miller Invitational. Artie Miller was the yearly track official that ran the meet and when he passed away the name was changed to honor him. Organizers still start the meet with his starter’s pistol.

The Huron notable results from this past weekend are as follows:

Haley Corso, pitching ace for the Huron Tigers Varsity Softball team, set a school record last week for the most strikeouts (22) in a game. She improved her season re-cord to 4-2 (1.18 ERA) with the 12 inning, 2-1 win over St. Mary’s Central Catholic. Haley also leads the team in hitting with a .463 average.

Q: First, tellmewhenyoubegantoplaysoftballandwho taught you how to pitch?

A:I began playing softball when I was 7 years old in the Huron Baseball/Softball Program Gremlin league. My stepdad got me started. I started pitching when I was 9 years old at a pitching clinic held over the winter in Huron. Since the age of 10, I mostly worked with John Johnston, who is our varsity pitching coach, but I have also worked with Dave Leffew, who is the pitching coach for Ashland University.

Q:Which do you prefer, pitching or playing outfield?Why?

A:I definitely love pitching. I feel more in control of the game when I pitch. But it is always nice to play the outfield. It is more relaxed for me. And I love to bat, also!

Q: What other activities do you participate in outsideofschool?

A: I play softball year-round, so there isn’t much time for other activities. When I’m not playing ball, I do have a job as a certified lifeguard at the Great Wolf Lodge. I will be working there over the summer full-time. When I’m not playing softball or working, I love spending time with my friends and hanging out.

Q: What are your plans after graduation?A:I plan on attending Baldwin-Wallace College, double

majoring in athletic training and exercise science. I will also be playing softball in college.

Q: What do you think will be your favorite memory ofHuron?

A: Just living in Huron has created great memories. I love this town and my school. It would be hard to forget little Huron!

Q:Tellmesomethingthatyouwanttotry/see/gotothat

youhaven’tdoneyetandwhy?A: I would really love to go to Italy. I am Italian, and

would love to explore some of my heritage. Hopefully I will be able to study abroad there. That would be a dream come true.

The Varsity softball team came into this week struggling with a 3-6 record. Following some wonderful weather that allowed Huron to warm their bats for some timely hitting, the Tigers are now rolling with a 7-7 record. Coach Ever-man and the team continued to get excellent pitching from Corso and Warren as they have all year, including a record-setting strike out effort against an SBC rival.

The Tigers opened the week against the Panthers. Hayley Corso fired a three-hitter over 12 innings in the pitchers’ dual. But the big news was that she struck out 22 visitors that set a new school record. The previous record was 20, set in 2000 by Becca Johnston against Sandusky. In the bot-tom of the 12th, Corso led off with a single and advanced to third via a base hit by Kate Webber. Then Kelsey Koehler, who went for 2-4, knocked in Corso for her second run on the night to give Huron the 2-1 victory.

The following night, Huron took on the Rockets of Oak Harbor. Corso again pitched well to improve her record to 5-2. Olivia Warren crushed the ball out of the park to tie the game at two apiece in the second inning. The game winning run was scored in the fourth inning by Koehler who was knocked in by Renee St. Clair for the 3-2 victory.

On Friday against Margaretta in Castalia, the Tigers final-ly found their bats. The hit parade was led by the multiple hitting Caroline Estel, Melissa Moberg, St. Clair, and Cor-so; Huron trounced the Polar Bears 13-3. Shortstop Lauren Volz knocked in three RBIs while Abbey Cook scored three times in the winning effort.

On Saturday, Warren got her chance to take the mound in the doubleheader played in Vermilion against the Sail-ors. She pitched both ends and went 1-1 with 16 Ks on the afternoon.

“Olivia pitched a good game (game one 4-3 loss) and should have got the win, but defense let her down,” said

Coach Everman. “When Olivia takes the ball, we need to do a better job getting her run support and play better defense behind her.”

In the second game, a 5-1 Tiger win, Warren finally got the run support she deserved. Led by Kelsey Koehler, who had a great week at the plate, Huron ground out 10 hits and three walks. Corso scored twice while Kate Webber knocked in two runs. Volz, Moberg and Jessie Allen also had RBIs.

On April 16, Parkvue Healthcare Center hosted its second annual Fast Track Reunion in the multi-pur-pose room with great suc-cess. Graduates returned to visit with the Parkvue staff who they entrusted with their therapeutic recovery while at the facility.

Many hugs and smiles were shared among the Parkvue staff and the re-turning graduates of the Fast Track Rehab Program. Connie Hill, COTA, said she was excited to see all of the former therapy patients and proud to see the progress each person had continued to maintain.

“It is so nice to visit with everyone and know that everyone is doing well af-ter leaving Parkvue.,” said Sharon Dircks, Director of Nursing.

An added bonus for the fast track rehab patients are the friendships developed during their stay. It is not uncommon for a person that returned home to call Parkvue to chat with staff and other residents and

check on the facility pets.Fast Track Rehab at

Parkvue is a highly-focused approach to reduce pain,

build strength and flexibil-ity, and helping patients get back to the life they want as soon as possible. Fast Track Rehab is different than other rehab programs; Parkvue’s certified reha-bilitation registered nurses and therapy team provide a holistic approach, which promotes a patient’s com-fort and pain relief while of-fering the comforts of home during his/her recovery. Fast Track Rehab is structured to create daily progress, build confidence, and ensure the patient makes the most of time in therapy.

Parvue staff members are proud that 100 percent of the respondents to a pa-tient satisfaction survey said they would recommend our program to their friends and family, and 100 percent also said said they made the right decision by choosing Parvue’s program.

Gardening with Mary

Mary Strayer, MaSter Gardener

At some speaking engagements recent-ly, I have been asked several questions about parsley and how to grow it in the home garden. First, parsley is a biennial, cooler temperature lover that makes a great edible edition to both patio pots, as well as planted in the garden.

In our USDA Zone 5, pars-ley at times sur-vives outside over winter. This last winter was par-ticularly mild, with heavy snow

cover for long periods of time. When the snow melted about a month ago now, the parsley was alive and well underneath. I don’t get too excited about that, as usually it grows beautifully for a month or so, and then goes to seed, and the flavor becomes very bitter and unusable in cooking.

The answer, then, is to watch around the area where the parsley was planted last year and look for new tiny sprouts. Those little sprouts will grow to wonderful plant over the course of the summer.

This past year, however, I had planted two parsley plants in a tall display pot for the patio. This pot was filled with red flowering Iron Cross Oxalis, Ipo-moea ‘Sunrise Serenade’ (morning glory). The parsley was used for the taller filler, and the combo was wonderful. That pot was kept inside in a totally unheated room, un-wa-tered, but in light for the entire summer. As soon as the warming trend start-ed, the parsley was up and growing. As of the writ-ing of this text, the plants were 6 inches tall already.

Parsley comes in two dif-ferent varieties, flat-leaved and curly-leaved. Under normal growing condi-tions, parsley grows to a foot tall. Last summer, in the garden the parsley grew to 3 feet tall, and in the pot, 18 inches tall.

Nutritionally, parsley has a very high vitamin A and C plus mineral content. It is also knows to be very effective at removing tox-ins from the body, as well as fighting bad breath. Today, we use parsley to flavor salads and put on baked potatoes, and it is used extensively in many of the herbal blends sold for huge prices in our lo-cal grocery stores.

Plant parsley in full sun, the soil well drained yet moist, with high organ-ic matter content. This means don’t let it stand in water for long periods of time, and use compost in the hole or row when you plant parsley. Parsley has a long tap root, which means once established, don’t keep trying to trans-plant it to various loca-tions in the garden.

Once is has reached 6 inches tall, you can be-gin harvesting for table use. Snip off around the sides of the plant, leaving the top to continue grow-ing. If we have a really hot summer with many days over 85 degrees, mulch heavily to keep the roots a bit cooler, and you should be able to enjoy until heavy frost. Happy gar-dening.
