The Huron Fire Department was dis-patched for a house fi re on the evening of Jan. 10 in the Village Green neighborhood. All resi-dents evacuated the structure prior to the fi re departments arrival. Smoke detectors were present and operational, according to Fire Chief Steve Osterling. Smoke was present throughout the structure and the fi re was contained to the basement, where signifi -cant damage to the structure and contents resulted, said Osterling.

As seen in these photographs, Huron Fire-fi ghters recently attended a fi re suppression

course on the uses of foam and foam systems. The Huron Fire Departments newest engine

has an integrated foam system that

makes application quicker when needed. In certain circumstances, foam helps improve vis-ibility, decreases water damage and reduces the

chance for a fi re rekindle, said Lt. Paul Hasenmeier. Foam can also improve the safety of fi refi ght-ers operating at a fi re and lessen property damage, he said.

On Tuesday, Jan. 5 at the Hu-ron City Schools Board Offi ce, Kev-in Asher attended his fi rst meeting as a Huron City School Board member. Asher ran uncontested for the position this past Novem-ber, replacing Joy Hillman.

I ran for a simple reason to

give back to a school system and a communi-ty that has given me and my family so much. Now that the family business has been sold and my children have grown, I have the time, and feel the obligation to help what is a solid and well-run school, said Asher.

Asher said his goal is to build on the founda-tion that the current Board has laid a founda-tion that has helped Huron achieve the Excel-lence with Distinction recognition.

The school system has outstanding teach-ers and administrators, a supportive commu-nity, and leadership that has transformed this school system from State control to Excellent with Distinction, Asher said.

The new board member would like to see the school system expand its community partner-ships with the Huron Eagles, ICI Glidden and Kalahari. He would also like to see the system upgrade its course offerings, its facilities, and its relationship with the community as a whole, while working with the schools staff.

The current staff is the reason the school system is outstanding. Hiring the best and the brightest will only add to the high standards that already exist, Asher said. Secondly, and

as important, keeping the school systems fi -nancial house in order is a must. This is es-pecially important in times when funding for schools like Huron get cut by the Federal and State government. Making sound fi nancial de-cisions and getting help from partners in the community will help keep us in the sound fi -nancial condition we currently enjoy.

Thirdly, keeping the community apprised of what issues the school is facing, what our fu-ture plans for the school may be, and how we plan to get where we have our sights set will help keep the community as the most impor-tant partner we have. Knowing where we want to go and how to get there and keeping the community in that loop fosters cooperation that is invaluable.

Asher has been involved throughout the community in many ways. Over the past 15 years, he has coached basketball for Huron and is currently the eighth-grade girls coach. Oth-er areas throughout the community Asher has been involved include the Jaycees, the K of C, the Huron Schools Community Board, and the Saunders-Foss Memorial Golf Scramble. Ash-ers wife, Anne, teaches middle school science at St. Peters in Huron. He has two children: Monica, the new Athletic Director at Huron High School; and Nick, a mechanical engineer. Asher has worked for Marinas International at Lakefront Marina in Port Clinton after 25 years with The Asher Bros. Company in Sandusky. Prior to earning his Juris Doctor degree from Syracuse University College of Law in 1981, Asher had graduated from Ohio Wesleyan University majoring in economics and political science in 1978. Asher is a 1974 Huron High School graduate.

As Asher is beginning his term with the board of education, Joy Hillman is stepping off. Hill-man had served on the board for the past four years and had made a personal/family decision

not to re-run. So many good things have happened over the

past four years, said Hillman, former school board president. One of the most memorable in my tenure for the board is achieving the Ex-cellent with Distinction status.

It has been a great four years. We have had a very cohesive board that has accomplished a lot. The Superintendent, the Treasurer ... all have contributed, the system has benefi ted greatly.

Hillmans School Board career began when she was the Deputy Treasurer several years back for the 8.9 mil levy that removed the District from fi scal emergency. Her duties of drumming up support throughout the com-munity, opening lines of communication and the challenge of gaining back the mistrust that had occurred lit a fi re from within and encour-aged her to run.

Right out of the gate the board was faced with one of their greatest challenges learning how to recover from fi scal emergency. They needed to work together with the community, the staff and each other to overcome some major rela-tionship issues that had developed over time. This board was instrumental in improving relationships, Hillman said.

Hillman takes particular pride in her personal hand in weighted grades for high school stu-dents. A weighted grade is when an Honors or an AP class is worth more points toward a GPA than a basic class. This weight potentially could raise the GPA to a higher number, depending on the outcome of the class and the number of Honors or AP classes taken. Colleges and Universities look closely at both weighted and non-weighted grade point averages.

Hillman wishes the schools continued growth and improvement. They are well run right now and I think Kevin will do a good job continuing on with this board, Hillman said.

Fisher-Titus Medical Centers Autism Spectrum Kids pro-gram has teamed up with Premiere Theater 8 in Norwalk to bring families and children with autism and other disabilities a unique private showing of the movie Alvin and the Chip-munks: The Squeakquel. The movie will be adapted to be a sensory friendly fi lm, and will be shown at 10 a.m. Saturday, Jan. 16 at Premiere Theater 8, 50 Theater Drive, Norwalk.

Children on the autism spectrum and with other disabilities can be oversensitive to light and sound, making it diffi cult for them to enjoy a typical movie showing.

During sensory friendly fi lms the sound is turned down, the lights remain on, and there are no previews or trailers, said Dani Davie, occupational and sensory integration certi-fi ed therapist at FTMC. These modifi cations create a sensory friendly environment that will decrease the likelihood that the child will become overstimulated.

In regular movie showings, children are expected to remain

seated and stay still and quiet for up to two hours, a task that can be very diffi cult for children on the autism spectrum.

At our sensory friendly fi lm, children will be able to talk, sing, dance, walk around, move and take a break as needed, said Lindsey Soisson, speech-language pathologist and FTMCs special programs coordinator.

Children will be able to bring in their own gluten-free, casein-free, or other special snacks if on restricted diets, but the con-cession stand will also be open. We realize that children with autism and other disabilities have unique challenges in regards to social and community activities, and often may not get to join their families and friends at the theater, Soisson said. This type of adapted showing gives these children the opportunity to enjoy a movie with their families in a safe and accepting en-vironment.

Children on the autism spectrum often have diffi culty tran-sitioning to new places and activities. To help prepare the chil-

dren for the movie experience a Going to the Movie social story has been created. This social story will be mailed out to the ASK mailing list, will be at the theater, and is also available upon request to any-one who will be attending the event.

Introduced to the commu-nity in 2001, ASK is a program of Fisher-Titus Medical Cen-ters Pediatric Therapy Department. It is a program designed to help families and children living with autism spectrum disor-der by offering educational seminars, referral resources, phone consultation, outreach programs, classes for children and fami-lies, and promotion of autism awareness.

Firelands Symphony Orchestra will present Russian Duo, an interactive musical program aimed at children preschool through grade 4, in a free concert at 2 p.m. Jan. 31 at Adams Junior High School, Sandusky.

The concert will introduce the audience to the folk music, tra-ditional instruments, dance and costumes of Old Russia. A free workshop demonstrating traditional folk dances will take place on stage at 1 p.m.

Russian Duo is an international project, born out of a love of traditional music and classical elegance. Balalaika virtuoso Oleg Kruglyakov and pianist Terry Boyarsky team up for exu-berant presentations of soulful, passionate music. Their pro-gram highlights the mysterious sounds of the balalaika a na-tive Russian instrument with three strings and a characteristic triangular body underscored by the full expressive range of the piano. Featuring vocals and Russian percussion, they draw from Russian folk music, romances, dances, classical music,

gypsy melodies and songs.

Kruglyakov was born in Omsk City, Siberia, in 1966 and be-gan playing the balalaika at the age of 7. Many of his experienc-es growing up centered on singing with family members. He has a keen ear for musical styles and a deep respect for cultural tradition.

Boyarsky, pianist, is a movement specialist, singer and ethno-musicologist who believes that every person is musical. Her thirst for musical collaboration has led her into chamber music, choral singing, folk dance, coaching, accompanying dance and creating ceremony.

Russian Duo is on the rosters of the Ohio Arts Council Ohio Artists on Tour and Young Audiences of Northeast Ohio. In reviewing them, Cleveland Classical noted: the musicality and virtuosity displayed will appeal to a broad spec-trum of music lovers.

Seats for the Jan. 31 event are available on a fi rst come, fi rst serve basis. Call the Firelands Symphony Orchestra at 419-621-4800 for information.

2008 Huron High School graduate Andrea King is currently working a co-op under the chefs at Narcoosees, at the Grand Floridian Hotel in Disney World, Orlando. Andrea is a second-year culinary student at Johnson & Wales University in Charlotte, N.C., which is the alma mater of many successful chefs, such as Emeril Lagasse and Tyler Florence, both famous chefs with shows on the Food

Network channel.King was chosen for her co-op assignment from a long list of

applicants based on her academic achievements, her past culi-nary experience, recommendations from her chef instructors,

and a very intimidating and in-depth interview with the Disney World representatives.

Narcoosees is a seafood restaurant overlooking the water with a view of the nightly fi reworks and the electric parade. Since arriving at Disney, King has been personally introduced to the General Manager of the Grand Floridian Hotel, Norm Noble; the Vice President of Resort Operations, Kevin Meyers; and the President of Disney World Resort, Meg Crofton. Andrea is the daughter of Bill and Jamie King. Her parents said she was un-able to come home for Christmas because of her co-op com-mitment, but that they are very proud of her accomplishments and earning her way into this opportunity.

FROM THE BENCH

BY JUDGE BILL STEUK,HURON MUNICIPAL COURT

With bad weather conditions ahead this winter, motor vehi-cle accidents will occur in our area. Many of these accidents will be a result of an operator of a motor vehicle crashing

into the back of a vehicle traveling in the same direction ( the rear-end collision). Many times when a police offi cer investigates this kind of ac-cident, he issues a citation to the driver of the vehicle who rear-ended the other for failing to maintain an assured clear distance ahead or ACDA. The applicable statute under the Ohio Revised Code is 4511.21(A). It reads as follows:

No person shall operate a motor vehicle, trackless trolley, or streetcar at speed greater or less than is reasonable or proper, having due regard to the traffi c, surface, and width of the street or highway and any other conditions, and no person shall drive any motor vehicle, track-less trolley or streetcar in and upon any street or highway at a greater speed than will permit the person to bring it to a stop within the assured clear distance ahead.

In the case of a rear-end collision, if a driver approaches another vehicle from the rear, the driver must be able to bring the car to a stop to avoid a collision. If a collision does occur, the driver can be charged with ACDA and could be responsible to the other driver for bodily injuries or prop-erty damage. It is important

to note that an ACDA violation does not nec-essarily involve whether or not the driver was driving above or below the speed limit. Also, poor weather conditions are not generally a de-fense to this violation. The statute requires that a driver maintain a distance ahead to stop the vehicle regardless of the conditions or speed of the vehicle. The purpose of the statute is to re-quire all drivers to take conditions into account to avoid accidents and certainly avoid serious injuries.

There are some defenses to an ACDA viola-tion. They include when the vehicle ahead sud-denly changes lanes into the rear drivers lane and when the vehicle ahead was not discernable. An attorney should be consulted to determine if these defenses are warranted to challenge an ACDA violation. Even if a defense is applicable, a driver could still be liable for an accident for other reasons.

To help prevent accidents occurring on our roadways, please take into account adverse weather conditions, poor lighting, uneven road surfaces and contours and all other conditions. Avoid ACDA violations, injuries and damages. Drive safely.

Articles appearing in this column are intended to provide broad, general information about the law. Before applying this information to a specifi c legal problem, readers are urged to seek advice from an attorney.

Many of us make grandiose New Years reso-lutions that we mean to follow through on and never do. Sometimes we might know that what were doing isnt sustainable over a year, and other times, we underestimate exactly what we need to stick to a resolution. You often need more than just will power to really see results, especially when it comes to the popular resolution to get fi t.

If youre embarking on a journey to fi nd a fi tter, healthier version of yourself, start with these tips that will keep you from putting limits on what you can achieve.

Exercise anywhereEven when youve fallen into a good, steady rou-

tine in your everyday life, fi tting trips to the gym and other workouts in when you leave the home base can be diffi cult. Its very easy to be tempted to cut yourself some slack and ignore exercising, but youll regret that decision sooner rather than later.

Luckily, technology makes it easy to bring your workout along with you. With workout programs like iTrain, your exercise regimen is as mobile as you are - you can easily down-load workouts and carry them with you everywhere, on your MP3 player. So whether youre in New York or London, you really can work out, just the way you want to.

Exercise any wayTheres no one best way

to work out - you need to know whats best for you. Many people need to keep things fresh to maintain their interest in exercising, and they need to look for different kinds of activities that will help them along the road to fi tness. By using online resources for exer-cise, youre expanding your repertoire. Not only will you stay interested, you can also work different parts of your body. There are a wide vari-ety of programs on iTrain, ranging from their iSculpt Ballet program, which uses ballet techniques to cre-ate long, lean muscles, to cardio programs that focus on heart healthiness while helping you create a toned body.

Exercise anytimeThere are some days when

youve got to do a shorter workout and others when you can go on as long as youd like. Downloadable fi tness workouts range in length - you can pack your MP3 player with everything from 20-minute workouts to 60-minute sessions - so you can have the right workout for any situation.

Of course, time means the long term, too. Dont box yourself in to a time limit like three or six months - take all the time you need to achieve your desired results. To make things more streamlined, you can pay one fl at fee for a year of unlimited down-loads on iTrain. While they also offer plans that let you download programs a la carte or three at a time. Ei-ther way, once you pay the fee, the workouts are yours to keep, so you can go back to them time and again.

Exercise at any levelWhether you just want to

get healthier or are shooting for sculpting your body into Hollywood shape, with ded-ication and the right tools,

you can achieve your goals. Its important to have good support, which you can often fi nd with a personal trainer - but that can be an unrealis-tic expense for many people. Online programs offer some of the most valuable ben-efi ts of a personal trainer at a fraction of the cost. Celebrity trainers provide the instruc-tion on workout MP3s from iTrain, and you can also e-mail the company to ask for customized routines. If you feel limited in what you can achieve, search out solutions on the Web or at the gym, and youll be able to make good on your New Years resolution.

After indulging during the holidays, many people start the new year with intentions to eat well.

Treating yourself during the holidays and depriving yourself in January is not healthy, says Anne M. Wolf, R.D, M.S, obesity specialist and instructor of research at the University of Virginia. A better approach is to consid-er what youre eating and its effect on your well-being, no matter what time of year it is.

To start the year off right, Wolf recommends eating well-balanced meals instead of obsessively counting calories. She suggests stocking up on fresh vegetables and fruits,

lean proteins, healthy breakfast foods and better-for-you snacks.

But practicing portion control and choosing healthy foods over high-fat ones isnt easy for everyone. For those who need some extra help, Wolf recommends FDA-ap-proved alli to her patients. With the alli plan, you can lose weight gradually by learning the right way to use food. Be-cause of the way it works, alli makes you more conscious of the fat in the foods you eat, which ultimately helps you lose weight, says Wolf. It should be used as part of a compre-hensive plan that teaches you to make healthy decisions.

Start the new year with ahealthy approach to eating

If youre determined to eat right to lose weight or improve your health, the foods you choose could also make you hap-pier. Weve all heard the old adage, you are what you eat, and the importance of eating for physical health. But did you know that at the same time you could also be eating to improve your mental sharpness, energy and inner peace?

Make breakfast a natural high Restock your fuel stores in the morning with healthy foods, and your body, mind and energy will repay you throughout the day.

Embrace the good fats The more DHA omega-3 you eat, the more it is incorporated into brain cells, the more fl exible your brain cell membranes become, the better you

think, the more you remember and the happier you are. Look for products bearing lifesDHA (www.lifesdha.com) on the label, such as Mission Life Balance Flour Tortillas, Silk Soymilk Plus DHA, or Walmart Spring Valley Fish-Free Algal-900 DHA supplements.

Choose quality carbs While all carbs will boost your mood, quality carbs in whole grains and colorful starchy veggies like sweet potatoes will give you sustained energy and a mood high without the extra calories.

FROM DEE HARTLEY, SENIOR TAX ADVISOR AT H & R BLOCK

For many of you, decid-ing how or who will pre-pare your 2009 tax return is the fi rst step in fi ling. Software online or from a

box will guide you through the process, but a one-on- one with a tax professional will get a much better result.

Look for a tax professional or fi rm that requires continuing education. There are at least 25 tax changes for the 2009 return and more for 2010 that you need to know about now. Someone who took a class even two years ago could miss a big deduction for you or, worse, miss a new requirement.

When you receive a letter from the IRS or a notice from the city in July, will they be around to help you respond? When you have a question in August will you be able to get an answer from them? You misplaced your copy and the bank wants one now, will

they be able to help?When you think your tax

professional is really be-ing nosy asking all those questions that dont seem to be related to taxes like who lives in your home remember this statement from the IRS Web site, IRS.gov, regarding choosing a paid preparer:

Understand that the most reputable preparers will re-quest to see your receipts and will ask you multiple questions to determine your qualifi cations for expenses, deductions and other items. By doing so they have your best interest in mind and are trying to help you avoid penalties, interest or addi-tional taxes that could result from an IRS examination.

Is your tax professional asking you questions?

The IRS e-File system went live Jan. 15. The fastest way to receive your refund at no extra cost is to e-File and have the refund directly deposited to your bank ac-count or pre-paid debit card. This is also the safest way. A mailed return when received by the IRS will be entered into their computer system by a data entry per-son. A mailed refund goes into the postal system a full week after it would have been ready to direct deposit.701 Tyler Street Sandusky 419-557-7480 www.firelands.com

MARY STRAYER, MASTER GARDENER

Look outside your windows with all this snow and all the new snow that is forecast and notice the garden as it stands barren and white. Watch it care-

fully as the snow piles up. Is there someplace you would like to have an architectural element, a statue, a new shrub to give the garden even more shape and form? Look at

it carefully, especially out the windows where you sit the most, at any time of the day. Is there something great to see? Try to envision a red holly shrub, with its bright red berries still attached. Would you like to look at a sway-ing grass such as Miscanthus? Make yourself a note; put it into your day planner or your garden journal so you can remember these thoughts early next spring.

Now, when the winds calm down and you begin again to get cabin fever, go outside and look at the trunks at

the ground level, and see if there are any rodent tracks or tunnels there. If you fi nd your tree trunk has had damage from rodents nib-bling on it, then there still might be time to remove the snow from around the tree

trunk and cover the bottom of the trunk with a piece of plastic fl exible pipe used for drains. Simply cut a length, and stretch it around the damaged area. Again, make a note to remove the pipe in mid-spring.

If you havent already done so, take time now to go over the garden catalogs online, or ones that might have come in the mail. Every year, I try to add at least one new thing to my garden. Over the last three years, I have been cutting down on the size of the gardens and the work that has to be done there. But, still, I will add at least one new thing each year. Some will say its crazy, but I believe that as long as you can still actively garden, you need a little new each year to keep your mind happy and spirits high. Even if you can only have a few pots outside your condo door, change what is in them each year. Have fun with gardening every minute you possibly can. Happy Gardening.

Sports

The three-time All-OAC defensive tackle and Huron na-tive, Matt Grieves has had an outstanding career playing football for Heidelberg University. So much so that follow-ing the 2009 football season, he was named a Second Team All-American for Division III football. It may also surprise some people to know that the 6-foot -5-inch, 255-pound senior is also a current member of his colleges basketball squad.

Then again, if you are from Huron, maybe it is not that big of a surprise. You see, Matt was an All-Ohio basketball player at Huron in 2006 besides being a standout football player. He was recruited by colleges as a basketball player as well as for football, but when he arrived at Heidelberg, he decided to focus solely on football. Grieves had been approached to play for the basketball team before, but had been too hurt following a football season spent in the trenches to give it a serious try. With a new basketball coach

on campus, Grieves was once again approached partway through his senior football season. This time Matt decided to give it a try. Three days after the football season ended, he was fi ghting for rebounds on the basketball fl oor.

I asked Matt how long it took him to get in basketball shape. He laughed and said, I dont think I am quite there yet. Despite being out of competitive hoops for four years, Matt is not just there as a practice body, but is a contribu-tor coming off the bench. In the nine games he has played so far this season, Grieves has averaged 3.7 points per game as well as 2.4 rebounds. He has also shared or was the lead-ing rebounder for The Berg in three of those contests. Hei-delbergs current record is a solid 8-4.

Matt is majoring in criminal justice. Upon graduation, he hopes to attend the police academy. Grieves is the older brother of a current starter for Hurons Varsity basketball squad, Zach, and is the son of Don and Beth Grieves.

It has been a rough two weeks for Coach Ty Ray and his Varsity Girls basketball team. He lost one of his best all-around players and best ball handler, point guard Caroline Estel, for much of the remainder of the season. Backup guard Justine Butler severely sprained her ankle at Monro-eville and illness has also played a large factor. The loss of two guards certainly hurts when playing against the mul-titude of presses Huron sees in the SBC. Since the victory over Monroeville during Christmas break, Huron has lost games to Bellevue, Port Clinton, and most recently, the Edison Chargers.

It is always tough to play a bigger school as are the Bellev-ue Redmen and this was no exception. The Tigers lost this game 56-40. Lauren Volz led Huron scorers with 17 points, including three 3-pointers. Steadily improving sophomore Sierra Ward had 10 points and seven rebounds. Alexis Le-mar played a well-rounded game with six assists, fi ve steals, and eight points.

The low point of the Lady Tiger problems may have come at Port Clinton when Coach Ray could only dress seven players total. Huron was still able to make a competitive show of it but eventually fell, 39-34. Volz again led the way with 12 points, four rebounds and four steals, while senior Devon Grendow contributed with seven points, six rebounds and three steals.

Next up was a game at Edison against the struggling Chargers. Like Huron, the home team went into the game looking for their fi rst conference victory. For the Tigers, Butler would fi nally dress, but her ankle still looked shaky

in warm-ups and she did not play. Backup point guard, Gina Munafo, always a bundle of energy on the fl oor, has come in to do a respectable job fi lling in at point guard. Alexis Lemar has also been fi lling in for Estel. Still, the Ti-gers are very susceptible to the press and the Chargers gave them a full dose of it all game long.

When the Tigers ran their offense, they got good looks but could not hit the shots. Huron was held scoreless for more than four minutes in the fi rst quarter until Volz hit a three-point shot with an Edison defender in her face. A minute later, Munafo would fi nd Volz for another two. Still, the Chargers would fi nish the opening period up 14-7. The closest Huron would get to a victory came at the opening of second quarter when feisty point guard, Alexis Lemar, would make two steals and two buckets to close the margin to 14-11. Edison would hit a free throw, and then at the 5:12 mark, Volz would hit her second of three 3-point-ers to again get Huron within three points, 17-14. Unfor-tunately, the Chargers would hold the Tigers to two points the remainder of the half to open up a 25-16 lead.

Edison continued to roll during the third period, out-scoring the visitors 12-7, to widen the margin, 37-23. Early in the fourth, Hurons last gasp came when Volz went on a little fi ve-point run to make the score 39-28. The Chargers defense would rise up and only allow four more points the entire afternoon, while scoring nine more of their own for a fi nal score of 48-32. Volz fi nished with 13 points and Devon Koenig led Huron with eight rebounds and added four points of her own. The Tigers have a 1-7 overall re-cord.

Coach Bobby James Var-sity Boys team had a busy fi rst week back from the holiday break. The Tigers opened the week at home with an exciting, last-second win over the Margaretta Polar Bears. That set up a showdown between the No. 1 (Port Clinton) and 2 (Hu-ron) teams in the SBC. At Port Clinton, the Tigers ran into a very talented, physi-cal team that gave Huron their second conference loss of the season. Undaunted, the Tigers came right back the following night and re-turned to their winning ways with a victory at Edison.

There were two exciting contests that Monday night against the visiting Polar Bears. First, the JV contest went into overtime with Margaretta coming out on top, 45-44. Then, the Hu-ron varsity started slowly by spotting the well-coached Bears a 10-4 lead early in the main event. Tiger wing, Derek Dowell, would hit the home teams fi rst six points, but otherwise, Huron was

cold from the fi eld. The Tigers fi nally tied the game at 16 a piece with 3:41 left in the half, af-ter Brian Bollenbacher scored on a lay-up. The low-scoring game went into the break with the Tigers up 22-20 following a Zach Grieves lay-in. The Tigers would do a nice job most of the night patiently working their offense to fi nd lay-ups or short jumpers.

To open the second half, the Tigers went on a 10-3 run, thanks in large part to playing very solid man-to-man defense and the inside moves of center Steve Bowers. The fi nal three minutes of the third period saw the Bears begin to slowly battle their way back into the game, 36-29. Hu-ron turned the ball over twice in a row early in the fourth to allow the visitors to close within three, 36-33. With 1:19 left, Margaretta would hit a short jumper to make it 39-38 Huron. With 35 seconds left, the Polar Bears made a free throw to tie the game at 39. The Tigers then decide to play for the fi nal shot. Margaretta tips an errant pass out of bounds with 11 seconds left. After a Tiger timeout Steve Bowers despite being covered at the top left corner of the key squares himself and man-ages a last second 15-footer to give Huron the vic-tory. Bowers led Tigers with 14 points, while Dowell added 12 of his own.

The fi rst major SBC showdown of the season pit-ted Huron visiting Port Clinton on Friday night. Again, another exciting JV game went the wrong way for the Tigers, 51-49. Cody Crandall had 16 points while Drew Enderle added 14 in the reserve effort.

As the Varsity game opened, both squads came out playing tough, quick man-to-man defenses.

Port Clinton mounted a quick 10 1 run in the middle of the fi rst period to take a 12-5 lead. But Huron fought back, with two straight baskets inside by Bow-ers and a short jumper by Eric Volz to make it 17-13 at the end of the fi rst quarter. The Tigers opened the sec-ond quarter with buck-ets by Volz and Dowell to close within two points with 5:41 left in the half. Following a timeout, Port Clinton quickly struck with a 13-4 run to close out the second stanza up 32-21.

During the latter half, the Tigers could never really get the stops they needed con-sistently to make a real run. Huron would score 13 points in the third period including a last second 3-pointer by Bollenbacher but PC would score 18. In the fi nal quarter, the Redskins outscored the Tigers only 16-15. Bowers would again lead the way with 16 points, ten of which were in the fi rst half. Brandon Poorman added 11 while Eric Volz hit 9.

The following night at Milan, the 5-4 Tigers defeated the 5-4 Edison Chargers. Senior Zach Grieves helped Huron get back to its winning ways by scoring 12 points. Eric Volz contributed nine points to the conference win.

Fisher-Titus Medical Center hosts American Red Cross Blood Drive

Firelands Regional Medical Center will be hosting a Pedi-atric Pulmonology Clinic on Monday, Jan. 25. Staffed by a Board Certifi ed Pediatric Specialist from Rainbow Babies & Childrens Hospital, Pediatric Specialty Clinics are held in the Firelands South Campus Outpatient Clinic, 1912 Hayes Ave., Sandusky.

To schedule an appointment for the Pediatric Pulmonol-ogy Clinic, call 1-800-377-3117.

Additional Rainbow Babies & Childrens Hospital Pediat-ric Specialty Clinics are also available at Firelands Regional Medical Center. For a schedule of the Pediatric Specialty Clinics, vist the Calendar of Events at www.fi relands.com. For more information about the Pediatric Specialty Clin-ics, call 419-557-6767.

Firelands Regional Medical Center is now offering Seasonal Flu and the H1N1 vaccines to community members who are 18 years and older. Vaccines are available (while supplies last) Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Firelands Corporate Health Center, 1031 Pierce St., Suite A, Sandusky. No appointment necessary.

The H1N1 vaccine is free of charge and available to those 18 years or older. Registration is required to receive the H1N1 vaccine, and pre-registration is recommended through the Ohio Department of Health Web site (as noted below). You can register when you arrive at Firelands Corporate Health Center, but for quicker processing pre-registration is available through an online registration system set up by the Ohio De-partment of Health. The pre-registration form can be accessed at www.odh.ohio.gov and clicking on H1N1; or https://h1n-1vaccine.odh.ohio.gov. Anyone receiving the shot should then bring the form with them.

The seasonal fl u vaccine will be offered to those 18 years or older. The cost for the seasonal fl u vaccine is $20 (credit card or cash). Those who are allergic to eggs should not receive the vaccine. Pregnant women should consult their physician. There is no cost to those with Medicare Part B (who have their Medicare Card with them at the time of the shot), however, Medicaid or private insurance will not be accepted.

The pneumococcal vaccine will be available for $40. CDC guidelines for pneumococcal vaccines are as follows: one injec-tion before age 65 and one injection after age 65 with a mini-mum span of fi ve years between doses. A person must have a physicians order for any additional pneumococcal vaccines.

There are other steps community members can do to pro-tect themselves and their loved ones during fl u season, such as washing their hands. Flu viruses can survive on surfaces for up to eight hours. Keeping surfaces washed down regularly with an antimicrobial cleaner will also help to lessen contact with fl u viruses. Additional Good respiratory etiquette and hygiene habits include:

Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze and then throw the tissue away.

If you dont have a tissue, cough or sneeze into your elbow or upper sleeve.

Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after you cough or sneeze or use the restroom and before eating. If you are not near soap and water, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer.

Try not to touch your eyes, nose or mouth as germs often spread this way.

Stay away from people who are sick. If you get sick, stay home from work or school.For more information about seasonal fl u and the H1N1 vi-

rus, visit the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention at www.cdc.gov, the Ohio Department of Health at www.odh.ohio.gov or contact the local health department. Continue to visit www.fi relands.com for information about the seasonal fl u and the H1N1 fl u.
