Over the past five years, the Huron River Fest Committee has paid local groups, civic, school, and church organizations about $25,325 com-

bined for assistance with the annual festival weekend. Groups and organizations have earned money from River Fest Inc. by working different areas of the festival. This year’s event is being held July 9-11.

The River Fest Committee reaches out to dif-ferent groups and organizations to assist with

installing fencing, removing trash and man-ning ticket booths. The following groups or organizations are a random sampling that has

made a profit over the years from work-ing the festival: HHS Student Council; Girl Scouts; HHS National Honor Soci-ety; Huron Parks and Recreation; Huron Band; Huron Chamber of Commerce; First Presbyterian Church; and members of the Huron Swim Team.

This past year, the Huron Boat Basin re-ceived a donation of a new vinyl cover for the canopy over the stage at the amphithe-ater from the committee. “This donation was made to the Boat Basin facility as a way of saying ‘Thank You’ for the endless hours they donate to the festival week-end every year,” said Sue Fawcett, president of the Huron River Fest Committee. The metal structure and original cover for the canopy was purchased about 10 years ago by the Lion’s Club. The new cover has both the Lion’s Club logo and the new River Fest logo on it as a symbol of community.

The $25,325 community pay-back does not reflect the income made by other local businesses and organizations during the fes-tival weekend, such as charging for use of private parking lots, selling rotators, beer or other food items, or duck races and other planned activities that take place in conjunction with the re-union weekend.

Fortunately for the River Fest Organization and the Huron Community, several sponsors

of the festival weekend are sponsors in-trade. The sponsors in-trade fre-quently includes the radio stations, the newspapers and other service organizations. These groups make such a great commitment to the River Fest weekend that without these loyal

sponsors in-trade assisting organization, the costs would be much greater for the weekend and there would be much less to pay the local groups and organizations that work during the weekend.

“The opportunity to give back to the com-munity would not be as great if it were not for our sponsors in-trade,” Fawcett said.

The River Fest Committee is run by volunteers, therefore, all of the proceeds of the weekend are returned to the community in one way or an-other. Anyone interested in volunteering on this committee, or who has a group or organization looking to make a little extra money this sum-mer, should go to www.huronriverfest.com.

Members of a few of the different groups who have earned money over the years are pictured in the photo. Coming down the stairs are: Dave Zimmerman, Lion’s Club; Billy Graves, Huron Band; Ben Washburn, Huron Band; Rachel Stelzer, HHS Student Council; Sue Fawcett, President of the Hu-ron River Fest Committee; (back row) Doug Steinwart, Huron Boat Basin and Sheila Eh-rhardt, Huron Chamber of Commerce.

Huron River Fest Gets New LookThe Huron River Fest Committee has launched a new marketing plan for the 2010 festival. A new logo has been designed, and a Web site has been added for the convenience of the sponsors, vendors, visitors and the Huron community. On the Web site’s homepage there is a complete list of the 2010 Schedule of Events includ-ing this year’s entertainment line-up and the 2010 River Fest sponsors. This year’s event is being held July 9-11.Also, new this year are the Sponsorship Levels. A Gold sponsor, for $250, includes a logo on the poster, a link on the Web site and inclusion in River Fest sponsorship radio advertising during the fes t i va l weekend. A Silver sponsor, for $100, includes a listing on the poster, a listing on the Web site and inclusion in the radio advertising during the festival weekend. Log on to www.huronriverfest.com for more information.Also, the Huron River Fest Committee is helping to advertise class reunions this year for those planning one. The coordinator’s contact information will be listed on the Web site for $25. Log on to www.huronriverfest.com and contact anyone of the committee members for more information.

The 4th Annual Water Safety Day celebration took place at the Huron Boat Basin last Thurs-day as a special guest visitor stopped by to pres-ent the 1000th life jacket. Slider from the Cleve-land Indians dropped in to help share with the third and fourth grade students of Huron the importance of Water Safety. The Water Safety Day message was shared for over the 1,000th time as the 1,000th free life jacket was handed out this year to the participating students. Sara Lundy was the lucky fourth grade student from Woodlands Intermediate School to wear and take home the 1000th life jacket. “We are ex-tremely thrilled this program has escalated and developed into what it is today...the students receive hands on approach to the importance of Water Safety,” stated Christine Crawford of the The Chapman Insurance Group.

The Water Safety Day program is designed for the students to absorb as much water safety information as possible. The United States Coast Guard had participated in the event by sharing with the students one of their helicop-ters and a Coast Guard Cutter. The students were able to board both the aircraft and the vessel and ask questions and interact with the crew.

U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary members were on hand to assist with all different aspects of the day. Auxiliary members assisted with ev-erything from helping to make sure life jackets were a proper fit on the students, to making sure teachers and students knew where to go and what to do, to distributing goody bags, to teaching students how to tie different types of knots.

The Huron Fire Department also partici-pated in the event. The Underwater Recovery Team performed an underwater demonstra-tion for the students while firefighters dem-onstrated rescue techniques with life rings and

hooks. The students were allowed to practice pulling the firefighters to safety with the actual equipment.

Ohio Department of Natural Resources and the Huron Police Department worked together as a team to teach the students about the differ-ent types of personal flotation devices and the proper way to throw them. A little fun was had during the process as relay teams were formed to see who could throw more accurately. The competition stiffened when the girls were able

to out throw the boys.Fish Huron made an appearance this year

at WSD. Doug Studer and Don Ritzenthaler spoke to the students about the different types of fish in Lake Erie and the proper lures and nets that should be used. Tory Gabriel from the Ohio Sea Grant also gave a presentation about aquatic invasive species in the Lake. Students were able to learn the importance of these spe-cies and what can be done to help protect them.

The students enjoyed a little snack at the Hu-ron Yacht Club while learning some very im-portant First Aid basics by the American Red Cross. Denise taught these basics through a questions and answers game that made learn-ing fun for the kids.

This fun filled day was made possible by sig-nificant contributions by the following indi-viduals, businesses and groups: The Chapman Insurance Group, Huron Fire Department, Huron Eagles, Harbor North, South Shore Ma-rine, Ralph & Bette Smith, Wal-Mart of San-dusky, Kohls of Sandusky, Paul Berlin, Phyllis Wassner, Jim Tremelling, Huron Police Dept, Huron Parks & Recreation, HYC Ladies Aux-iliary, USCG Auxiliary 09E-06-05, US Coast Guard Station Marblehead, Cottage Designs, Ohio Sea Grant Program, ODNR-Div of Wa-tercraft, American Red Cross, MetLife Auto & Home, City of Huron, Huron Township, North Coast Prop Tech, Huron Pizza House and Fish Huron.

“We are always so excited to be a part of such an important educational day. With Huron being a waterfront and riverside community, WATER SAFETY cannot be stressed enough. Teaching kids the importance of awareness when they are around the water, and having fun at the same time…is a perfect mix for a great day!” stated Christine Crawford of The Chapman Insurance Group.

Slider Makes Water Safety Day a Real Splash

The Cleveland Indians mascot, Slider, sporting an ODNR life jacket, stops by Water Safety Day to help Mayor Mari-lyn Shearer deliver a proclamation de-claring May 27, 2010 as Water Safety Day in Huron, Ohio.

More questions from my readers …

1. “Ihavebeenhear-ing about miniatureorchids? Do they ex-ist?”

Recently, garden-ers on the lookout for the new and unusual have noticed the ap-pearance of miniature orchids on the market. Miniature orchids, the size that will fit into a petite teacup, are now available in upscale greenhouses and gar-den gift shops. These orchids make up for their lack of size with exquisite small-scale perfection.

It seems that there are thousands of spe-cies and hybrids, and every major group has its own miniatures with a full range of color, shape and scent – similar to the larger species orchids. I find it quite fascinating that an orchid in a 4-inch pot can contain hundred of blossoms. You can have a large collection, and still they don’t take up much space.

It is very difficult, however, to explain the care of orchids in general, as each species has its own growing requirements. For ex-ample some orchids like it cooler and some warmer. The best advice I can give here is read the ‘stick’ in the pot of the plant, or ask the salesperson for details. One general tip I can give is to check for dryness more fre-quently than you would normally, as any-thing small is grown in a small pot, and the soil will dry out very quickly. Another tip is to try these miniature orchids in open top terrariums, as this will help keep the hu-midity level high enough for the species. As

with any plant, please make sure your pot is free draining, as orchids large or small do not like their feet soaking in water.

2.“Ihaveheardthatmyseedssavedfromyearspastarenotgoodanymore. Is thistrue?”

Seeds vary widely in their viability and some can last for years, and others loose their ability to germinate very quickly. Commercial seed packages often display the germination percentage determined by testing. Storing seeds in sealed containers in a cool, day area can help extend their vi-ability. One way to check germination for yourself is to wrap some seeds in a moist pa-per towel and put them into a zip-lock bag out of the sun. Check them in a week and count the percentage that has germinated. This will give you a good idea of what to ex-pect when you sow them. Personally, I save seeds each way using the method described above, and have good success.

3.“Ireallywanttohavefallcolorinmyyard,andInoticesomeroseshaveredrosehipsleft.WhichroseshouldIbuy?

Rose hips, and the seeds within the rose, are the real reason that roses grow. But if you really want pretty red rose hips, you could plant the paper-white Rosa rugosa ‘Alba’ and the smoky R.r.’Rubra,’ which pro-duce the green hips that first turn to yellow, then shades of orange, and lastly a bright red for the winter months. You could also try the bright yellow ‘Rugelda.’ All of these will continue to bloom even as the hips form and mature, creating memorable Sep-tember displays for new blooms and ripe red fruit. Another great thing about the rugosa roses is that the Japanese beetles will not touch their rose hips, so you will have a sure color for the fall.

Happy Gardening!

EHOVE Career Center offers in-demand and relevant training for Adult Education students looking for dynam-ic and exciting career opportunities. The Marine Trades Technician program fits the bill for both. Students from previous marine trades programs have gone on to work at local marinas or pursued other employment endeavors utilizing the training they received in this unique program.

With Lake Erie and the large marine industry it gener-ates, EHOVE is looking to continue to support the com-munity by training locals who will then work in the local marine industry. So the school has partnered with Skip-per Bud’s on East Harbor Road in Marblehead for the new training site. This location will allow students to learn in

a classroom setting and gain real world experience in the field from professionals.

The 850-hour marine trades program at EHOVE fo-cuses on nearly every aspect of the job that an entry level technician should know. The entire boat is covered from stem to stern, including engine diagnosis and repair; win-terization; electrical; rigging; fiberglass repair; plumbing; and trailer maintenance. Customer service and work ethic skills are also included in the training, as well as a strong focus on safety aspects.

For more information, go to www.ehove.net or call 866-256-9707, Ext. 280.

The Huron City Schools would like to challenge their students in sec-ond- through sixth-grades to con-tinue reading this summer. In doing so, the district has developed a Sum-mer Reading Program that includes a list of recommended books based on reading levels, AR quizzes and a re-wards policy for those who complete the program. Students are encour-aged to use the book list created on the school Web site (www.huronhs.com/curriculum-department.html) or www.ARbookfind.com site to find books for their reading level.

Students are being challenged to read four books during the summer and pass the Accelerated Reading quizzes online to attend an ice cream social af-ter the start of school in the fall.

Four books equal one scoop of ice cream; five books equal one scoop of ice cream and one topping; six books equal one scoop of ice cream & two toppings; eight books or more equal two scoops of ice cream & two top-pings

The quizzes can be accessed through the school Web site at www.huronhs.com/learn.html. Students participat-

ing in the Reading Challenge will also be awarded a ribbon. For questions, contact Chris Standring, curriculum director at chris_standring@huronhs.com or 419-433-1234 Ext. 5.

Huron students in kindergarten through eighth grade have been selected to participate in the Huron City Schools Summer Learning Camp in August. This camp has been designed to help students get a jump-start on the new school year. Teachers have referred all invited students who have shown a need for intervention based on class-room performance and assessments.

Classes will be held from 9 to 11:30 a.m. August 9-20 at Woodlands Intermediate School. The summer camp

includes: Tri-C Mathematics and Language Arts work-books, a snack, instructional focus on reading, writing and mathematics, a certified teacher for each classroom, small class sizes and transportation to Woodlands Intermediate School.

There is no cost for this camp. All students must be re-ferred to the camp by a teacher. Those who feel their child would benefit from this camp should contact the child’s teacher for further discussions.

EHOVE’s Academic Students Announced

Four BGSU Firelands faculty members were rewarded for achievement at the May Bowling Green State University trustees’ meeting. Dr. Linda P. Cornell of Milan and Dr. Philip D. Weinsier, both of Huron, were granted tenure and promotion to associate professor. John C. Moor of Fremont was promoted to senior lecturer and Sylvia E. Hermo-Fedro of Avon Lake to lecturer.

Cornell, an associate professor of chem-istry in the Department of Natural and So-cial Sciences, earned her bachelor’s degree at Syracuse University, her master’s degree at Renesselaer Polytechnic Institute (Troy, New York) and her doctorate, summa cum laude, from Mississippi State University. She is also a registered professional engi-

neer and holds an Ohio Teaching Certifi-cate in comprehensive science, grades 7–12.

She has taught several area educational facilities, including BGSU Firelands, Lorain County Community College and the Uni-versity of Toledo. Her professional experi-ence in research and development includes stints as project director, senior research associate and research associate for Heidel-berg, Case Western and NASA’s Lewis Re-search Center.

Weinsier, an associate professor of in-dustrial technology in the Department of Applied Sciences and a Fulbright Scholar, earned his bachelor’s degree from Berry College and his master’s and doctorate from Clemson University. He joined the BGSU

Firelands faculty in 2004 as an instructor of electri-cal/electronic engineering technology and was soon promoted to assistant. He also taught at Appalachian State University, Northern
