Taste of Huron’s “Taste of the Week”

Domino’s

The Chamber of Commerce Bright Stars for 2011 were recog-nized on Thursday, October 27th at the semi-annual Chamber Leadership meeting and fourth annual Bright Star Awards pre-sentation of the Northern Ohio Area Chambers of Commerce (NOACC) at the Hyatt Regency Cleveland at the Arcade in Cleve-land.

Mike Wilde, owner of Domino’s Pizza earned the Huron Cham-ber’s 2011 Bright Star award. Pre-senters this year were Wayne Law-rence, NOACC Chairman and Lute Harmon, chairman of Inside Business Magazine.

Almost 50 Chambers of Com-merce across northern Ohio nominated a member as a “Bright Star,” to recognize those who have “made a significant impact on the chamber through membership, retention, sponsorship, economic development, operations and/or education.” Each Bright Star is an active chamber member for no less than two years and is likely to be an unsung hero or a dedicated behind-the-scenes volunteer.

Wilde is a soft touch. The owner of Domino’s Pizza in Huron, he is constantly sought out by every club, sports team and civic orga-nization planning a fundraiser. He’s always willing to donate his pizzas – and lots of them -- for just about any good cause.

Throughout the l3-year history

of the Huron Chamber’s annual Lighthouse 10-Mile and 5K races, Mike not only donates more than a dozen pies for the ravenous runners, but is up at the crack of dawn on race day -- after clos-ing the store very late on a Friday night, coming in to bake them himself.

During a Water Safety Day event for several hundred Huron schoolchildren, Christine Craw-ford, the organizer, realized that there had been a glitch in order-ing lunch for the dozens of adult volunteers. She made a frantic call to Mike at 11 a.m. Though not actually open yet, in just

30 minutes he had 16 pizzas out of the ovens and delivered down to the grounds of the city Boat Basin

A former member of the Cham-ber’s Board of Directors, he con-tinues to be a promoter of the value of Chamber membership.

The shimmering windows can be viewed at 124 East Market Street, Thursday through Sunday, during this holiday season. The variety of authentic aluminum trees highlighted by numerous color wheels creates a holiday spectacle certain to be enjoyed by adults and kids alike!

The first tree in Bill Djubek’s collection was a gift given on Christmas Eve by his wife Jayne and their two sons nearly 20 years ago. That original tree continues to be their Christmas tree each year. This year Bill has decided to share the rest of his collection of trees and color wheels with you - making them affordable for any budget, as over thirty trees range in price form $20.00 to $200.00. Also not to be missed are various other col-lectibles including ornaments, dolls from the 1950’s, candles, purses, and mangers which will add a nostalgic feel to any holiday celebration.

RetiredTeachers Meet

According to the snow-man in the beloved Christ-mas special, Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, “What’s a Christmas tree without tinsel, and pretty silver and gold decora-tions? Can’t really call it a Christmas tree now, Can you?” Well, snowman, things have changed! Silver and gold are no longer the only colors of Christmas. The Trend Curve declared that this year’s hot colors are silver paired with frosty green. “The mantra for affordable holiday deco-rating this year is: Keep it simple. Keep it clean. And keep Mother Nature in mind.” stated the Dayton Daily News. So what does a typical Huronite do to keep up with these trends?

Many local businesses will be happy to help you tweak your décor to stay in tune with trends or just make a few updates to your current collection. Barnes Nursery has a lovely selec-tion of trendy and clas-sic Christmas décor. Nan Weigman, lead flower de-

signer at Barnes Nursery, explained that Christmas décor lags only slight-ly behind home fashion trends. Thus, in addition to silver and pale green, other popular colors for this year include bright red and bright green, purple and plum, and bright aqua blue. Overall themes that are popular are bright, whimsical colors, vintage looks, and anything with butterflies, either in their natural colors or in glitter. Julie Barnes Foster stressed that if you want to incorporate some of these new looks into your current décor, it is best to start small with a themed, tabletop tree or other small tree. Barnes Nursery is a great place to get ideas for themed trees and to pick up a little something to jazz up your Christmas. Some of the themed trees that can be seen around the Barnes’ Garden Center are a wine and cheese tree, a whimsical tree with bright, fun colors and ornaments, a silver and green tree, and a nautical tree that incorporates drift wood. No matter the trends, stated Nan Weig-man, there are always people who seek to decorate with fresh greens and red velvet ribbon.

All in all, the decision regarding your Christmas décor is truly a per-sonal one, and your décor should consist of what appeals to you. None-theless, it is always fun to try some-thing new!

This week, officials from the city, state and federal agen-cies along with members of the demolition contractors met to discuss the removal of remaining buildings on the former Conagra peninsula.

The contractor for the final phase of demolition is San-dusky’s Burdue & Associates LLC; Burdue has subcon-tracted for the removal of the seven story mill building, grain elevator and silos with Advanced Explosives Demoli-tion (AED), Inc. of Tensed, ID. You may recognize Mr. Eric Kelly and his AED team from their TLC television program “The Imploders.” The meeting was the initial discussion for the planning and logistics for the building removal. Contractors will be on site the week of December 12th to determine the best method to remove the buildings.

A public meeting is tentatively scheduled for mid-De-cember to provide a detailed summary of the project, proj-ect date and to answer questions.

After the demolition is complete Burdue & Associates will crush the materials in order to complete the projects. Additional details will be forthcoming in this newspaper.

Huron 6th-grade student, Gretchen Blackwell, re-cently had 8 inches of her hair cut at Looks Salon in Sandusky, for a good cause. She donated her hair to Pantene Beautiful Lengths, a program in partnership with the American Cancer Society in which donated hair is used to make wigs for women battling cancer. About a year ago, Gretchen decided to grow her hair with the intention of even-tually donating it. The wigs that are created through the Pantene program are distributed free of charge through select American Cancer Society wig banks across the United States. Pantene’s mission of pro-viding free wigs for women suffering from cancer is based on the fact that one in three women will be di-agnosed with cancer in her lifetime, and 60% of those women regard hair loss as the worst side-effect of the cancer treatment.

Some of the other orga-nizations that accept hair donations include Locks of Love, Wigs for Kids, Chil-dren with Hair Loss, and the Childhood Leukemia Foundation. Most of the wigs created are intended for children who are finan-cially disadvantaged. If you are interested in donating your hair, refer to the guide-lines that are listed on each organization’s web site.

For years people have been call-ing Thanksgiving Cactus Christ-mas Cactus. S c h l u m e r g e r a truncata is the Latin name for T h a n k s g i v i n g cactus. They are sold as a flower to bloom at Christ-mas time, but have you ever noticed, that in the local stores right now, they are bloom-ing. The true Christmas Cactus blooms a month or two later than at Christmas time.

S. truncata (Thanksgiving cactus) is easy to distinguish from the ‘real’ Christmas cactus, S xbuckleyi. The Thanksgiving cac-tus flower are asymmetrical and are held out from the plant almost horizon-tal from the tips of the segments. Leaf blades edges are toothed. The plant itself stands more upright than the other species.

Flowers from the Christmas cac-tus are radically symmetrical and hang down against the stem when blooming. The leaf blades of the true Christmas cactus are scalloped and do not have the teeth or points along the sides. This species lays down over the planting pot.

Flowers from both the aforesaid cactus are in shades of white, red, pink, and an orange.

About two year ago, I purchased a yellow ‘Thanksgiving Cactus’ that was sold in a greenhouse before Thanksgiving. It burst into bloom for Thanksgiving. It has done the same for each successive year. I have tried to get information about this partic-ular plant, and can’t seem to find out any further information.

About 20 years ago, I was given a start from what I was told was an Easter Cac-tus. It blooms from March through May, and occasionally sends a flower during the summer. The leaves are elongated, and at each segment there are 1/4” hair clusters. The flowers petals are pointed, stamens coming out beyond the flower. The flower is a funnel shape and a piercing bright red.

Christmas cactus’s are wonderful to have around whenever they bloom, and make great gifts for the holidays. Thanks for reading my columns and Happy Garden-ing.

The third grade students of Woodlands Intermediate School had a special one hour assembly prior to Thanksgiving Break performed by Sergeant Steve Ritterbach of the Sandusky Police Department and his K9 “Justice”. Sergeant Ritterbach and Justice very enthusiastically together demonstrated to the students not only the teamwork necessary, but the training, the partnership, and the dedication that enters this faith-ful relationship.

Sergeant Ritterbach began the demonstration paralleling his career and relation-ship with his dog with that of main characters from a story the third grade students had just finished reading and studying. The story “Aero and Officer Mike: Police Partners” by Joan Plummer Russell was in the third grade reading text “Storytown” by Harcourt School Publishers.

Officer Keith Lobsinger, the School Resource Officer was instrumental in intro-ducing Sergeant Ritterbach and Justice to the students and participated in the K9 demonstrations.

Sergeant Ritterbach explained in great detail and in a very playful and energetic manner for third grade students to understand how Justice was trained, how he is able to sense different smells and how he is able to track different people from kids to adults. Sergeant Ritterbach explained to the students for Justice to search for narcotics it is like he is searching for his toys. The demonstration included Officer Lobsinger portraying a “bad guy” and was attacked by Justice under the direction of Sergeant Ritterbach.

Following the study of “Aero and Officer Mike: Police Partner” the third grade students read some additional stories about service dogs helping people – “Balto, the Bravest Dog Ever”, “My Buddy” and “Harry and His Helping Hands”.

Sergeant Steve Ritterbach and K9 “Justice” of Sandusky Police Department perform a demonstration to the third grade students at Woodlands Intermedi-ate School with School Resource Officer Keith Lobsinger.

Samantha Wechter officially commits to Seton Hill with the signing of her National Letter of Intent, while surrounded by family and team – mates. Hu-ron’s Senior Captain feels very blessed to have the opportunity to continue playing volleyball at the next level while pursuing a career in the medical field. At the end of her senior year of volleyball she earned All Sandusky Bay Conference 2nd Team, Honorable Mention District 6, Division III, and was selected to the District 6 All Star Game.

Located in Greensburg, Pa, Seton Hill is a private Catholic University , just 3 ½ hours from Huron. They are a member of the West Virginia In-tercollegiate Athletic Conference which competes at the NCAA Division II level. SHU’s Head Coach Rick Hall directed the 20 Griffins to a 25-2 record overall and a 0-4 conference records, which was good enough for 3rd place within the 115 team league. They are a young team with 7 first year players on the roster but will have 3 starters to replace. Samantha has made the trip to Greensburg five times and is very comfortable with her college choice. She knows the entire staff and team, and she has already started some new friendships with other incoming freshman from Ohio. Academics are the top priority of the university, while volleyball still remains very competitive and fun.

Throughout the years Samantha has had the privilege of always being on the court with quality players and highly respected coaches, both at Huron and throughout her JO Club years with the Northshore and Black Swamp Volleyball Clubs. In 2008, she was a member of Coach Don Wood’s 14-Na-tional Team that earned a bid to compete in the USA Volleyballs National Tournament held in Dallas. Texas. As a 16 year old she earned a spot on the 17- American Black Swamp team that was crowned the Ohio Valley Region Champions. Huron’s 2009 season ended as Samantha joined her Grandfather as a State Champion for HHS. Charles Wechter was a member of Huron’s first State Championship Team, the 1953 football team. She is no stranger to great competition. The reputation of Huron Volleyball established by Coach Wood has allowed the Tiger’s to continually play against some of the best programs in the State, In fact, of the 16 teams in this years State Tournament, Huron met half of them on the court.

Samantha joins former Tigers, Sara Sage (2008)-UCLA, Jesse Miedema (2010)-Radford University (VA), Taryn Gra-ham (2011)- Gannon University (PA), and Taylor Slauterbeck (2011)- Malone University (OH), who are currently active in the collegiate volleyball.

Sports

Fall sports are an important part of every student attend-ing the Huron School System, at any given moment you can hear the Marching Band practicing, along with the whistle of the football coaches. Each day after school you

can see students pounding the pave-ment as they run those daily miles for cross country. The Huron girl’s ten-nis team is also out there practicing every day too, running drills and im-proving their serves. This fall the girl’s

tennis team had a magic season, a dream team, the right com-bination of tal-ent, and a selfless commitment to winning the San-dusky Bay Con-ference title. Be-fore every match the girls would from a circle and shout their cheer:

“ Keep it Classy” these three words say it all about these girls.

In the last match of the season it came down to the final score of the second doubles team of Emily Waldrop, and Holly Richardson, because of the rain it was played at Bay-winds Racquet Club. These two girls had the weight on the whole season on their shoulders, would they win the SBC or share it with another team? The varsity players sat in the balcony, and when Emily and Holly stopped to drink or change sides; these girls would do the silent wave to cheer them on. At the last second Emily and Holly made the winning shot; all the varsity girls did not stop to hug each other, but ran full speed to the court and engulfed Emily and Holly, the looks on their faces said it all “Keep-ing it Classy”. CONGRATULATIONS, GIRLS!
