Graham was a senior captain and the current career record holder of digs for the 2010 Huron Varsity Girls Volleyball team. The Knights are located in Erie, Penn., and play in the western division of the Pennsyl- vania State Athletic Conference. Gannon is an NCAA Division II School and its volleyball team is coached by Matt Darling, who is in his fourth season. The team currently sports a 20-9 record and is ranked fifth in the Atlantic region. They are currently vying for a spot in the NCAA Division II tournament for the second straight season. A sure-fire future Huron Hall of Famer signed this week to play Division I golf for the Ohio University Bobcats of the MAC down in Ath- ens, Ohio. Not only is Lauren an outstanding high school golfer, but barring any unforeseen injury, should receive two more varsity letters (basketball/softball) before her senior year comes to a close – for a total of 12. “I am looking for- ward to the day she gets inducted into the Huron Hall of Fame. I want to be that coach that nominates her because of everything she’s done for the golf program,” said Girls Varsity Golf Coach Frank Gioffre. An outstanding ath- lete, Volz plays each sport with an ease that almost looks – to the untrained eye – as if she isn’t giving her all. That’s until you try to keep pace with her. For- mer Huronites that I played with or against who were that smooth had names like Jim Le- gando, Jim Jenkins, or her coach, Frank Giof- fre. But, in fact, they do work hard and brother, are they competitive. When asked what makes Volz special, Gioffre said: “Words can’t express her dedication and her work ethic, just overall being the ultimate team player ... Lauren ranks up there with anyone I have coached in my 20 years – some of them even made it to the high- est level of their respective sports.” Lauren was named the SBC player of the year for the 2010 golf season with an impressive 38.9 stroke average. She placed in the top 10 individually (9 and 8) at the state tourney the past two years, but she will tell you proudly that she was part of a team that qualified for state three straight years and finished fourth overall in Columbus in 2010. Still, she is excited to see how much further she can take her golf game on the next level. Following the conclusion of the Huron softball season, Volz will begin play- ing in the PGA Calloway Series tournaments against some of the best kids in the Midwest. The prospect of concentrating solely one sport excites her. Volz loves the challenge of golf, believes in herself, and calls the game relax- ing. But make no mistake, the obstacles will be great- er. Gioffre warns that the courses will be longer and tougher. She will no lon- ger face young high school kids, but will face more ex- perienced – and mentally tougher – opponents. Still, Gioffre states that her new coach, Kelly Ovington, likes Lauren’s steady demeanor. It never changes, even when she might struggle on the course. What attracted Lauren to Ohio University wasn’t just its golf team. She could have played at several schools. She targeted OU very early because it has a strong physical therapy pro- gram and she liked its beautiful campus in the Hocking Hills region of Southern Ohio. Volz is an honor roll student and knew that wherever she decided to go had to have strong course work in her major. It seems like a good fit. “I am very proud of her, like a happy dad... ,” Gioffre gushed. Quick… when was the last time you heard about a child who went trick-or-treating and then willingly gave away some of the candy they received? The students at St. Peter Catho- lic School in Huron did just that this year for a great cause. Students at St. Peter set aside a portion of their Halloween haul last week to send to local Armed Forces units who are fighting overseas. The kids collected more than 115 pounds of candy – from candy bars to suck- ers and other sugary treats, the kids brought their candy into school to be boxed up and shipped directly overseas. Kids also collected non-sug- ary items as well, including tooth paste, dental floss and other personal items. “We couldn’t be more proud of our students,” said Linda Smith, St. Peter School prin- cipal. “One of the core values that we teach the students here at St. Peter is caring for others and sharing. The fact that the entire school partici- pated in this and was able to donate a record amount of candy is truly a testa- ment to wonderful kids, parents and educators we have here at St. Peter.” Event coordinator Angie Edwards partnered with the Toledo-based Heroes in Action to help determine how and where to ship the 115 plus pounds of candy and other items. “We appreciate the participation and efforts of the families at St Peter in collecting candy and items for the care packages sent to our service members overseas,” said Dawn Heisler with He- roes in Action. “The holidays are a very difficult time for those servicemen and servicewomen to be away from home and their loved ones. They are so appreciative of all those at home that help honor our troops serving our country and in re- turn, thanking them with a care package.” St. Peter School is a member of the Diocese of Toledo that strives to offer a strong academic education in a Christ-centered community that emphasizes Christian moral values.

BEHIND THE BADGE

On Wednesday, Nov. 24, from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m., offi cers and dis-patchers from the Huron Police De-partment will be stationed outside of Cornell’s Gro-cery Store to ring the Salvation Army Bell. An annual tradition, the bell ringing event helps raise money for local charities.

For many years police personnel

have volunteered their time by partici-pating in this event, which has drawn local attention and raised hundreds of dollars.

From its inception, The Salvation Army has relied heavily on volunteers who support its programs. Often re-ferred to as “the army behind The Army,” volunteers play a crucial role in The Salvation Army’s ability to pro-vide quality social services for the en-tire community.

With Christmas around the corner, we believe that it is indeed the time

for giving back to the community to help out local residents who are need of assistance. Special thanks go out to all of those who help organize such an event. In particular, I would like to thank Rev. Tom HolzaEphel for his dedication and hard work to make this an annual event.

I encourage all of you to stop by Cor-nell’s Grocery Store on Wednesday, Nov. 24, to say hello to our personnel, but also to make a small donation to help out those in need this holiday season.

The Northern Ohio Area Chambers of Commerce is observing its 15th an-niversar. The group is made up of 120 Chambers located in towns all across northern Ohio, representing some 30,000 members. At this year’s NO-ACC Bright Star awards, local member Matt Cummings was a recipient.

“For these 15 years, we’ve been ful-fi lling a mission to secure benefi ts to business owners that they would not be able to get on their own. It’s an in-valuable resource,” said Vicky Hawke, NOACC’s executive director, speaking at the semi-annual board of trustees meeting last month at Cleveland Me-troparks Zoo.

Chambers, like any progressive ser-vice organization, couldn’t function without a great team of dedicated vol-unteers. “That can mean everything from event planning to recruiting and retention efforts, to chairing commit-tee and stuffi ng envelopes,” explained Wayne Lawrence, executive director of the Beachwood Chamber of Com-merce and chairman of the NOACC board.

“These volunteers help run the chambers, expecting nothing in re-turn,” said Hawke, introducing the 46 winners of Bright Star awards for 2010. Gorillas, snow leopards and a couple of ring-tail monkeys peered out of the fl oor-to-ceiling glass panels of their habitats, just inches from the more than 150 guests enjoying dinner in the primate building.

Presenting the awards was Mau-reen Kyle, an anchor and reporter at WKYC-TV3. Selected to receive one of this year’s NOACC Bright Star awards was Cummings, Huron Chamber vice president and two-term board mem-ber.

A young man who worked his way through high school and several years of college while working part-time for Barbare Leber at Pizza House West in Sandusky, he liked the business so much that in 1991 he became propri-etor of the Huron Pizza House. And the rest is history.

Cummings has become a vital mem-ber of the Huron business community, making generous donations for school activities throughout the year and hosting dinners at his Main Street piz-

zeria. Proceeds go to local families fac-ing medical crises as well as numerous Huron Tiger fund-raisers.

He recently assumed the vice-presi-dency on the Chamber board of direc-tors. He lends his strong arms and spir-it of cooperation to just about every Chamber project throughout the year. Dressed in his signature denim shorts and Pizza House T-shirt – whether it’s 90 degrees during the annual River Fest or 20 degrees and blowing like a gale as the Festival of Lights display at Sawmill is put up and taken down – Cummings is there to lend a hand.

“He chaired the personalized street banner program and has been my guy-to-go-to on numerous Chamber proj-ects through the years,” said Chamber director Sheila Ehrhardt.

The Sandusky State Theatre is pleased to announce the creation of The Ackerman Family Children’s Theatre. Gary and Diane Ackerman are the generous sponsors of this wonderful Sandusky State Theatre program.

The children’s theatre will fea-ture student matinees, public per-formances, workshops and youth performances. The program kicked off with a presentation of “Other-wise Known as Sheila the Great” on Wednesday, Nov. 10, where more than 1350 students attended the 10 a.m. performance.

The inaugural public performance will be “The Best Christmas Pageant Ever” that will take place on Dec. 7. More than 52 youth and adult pro-fessional actors are cast in this heart-warming holiday classic. In honor of the season of good will, The San-dusky State Theatre is partnering with Nehemiah Partners for the Sat-urday, Dec. 4 performances at 2 and 7:30 p.m. in order to raise commu-nity awareness and support for the opening of their new youth center.

“The Best Christmas Pageant Ever” is sponsored by Terra Community College and Gene Ptacek & Son Fire Equipment Company Inc.

Here’s a sneak peek: Meet the Her-man kids. They steal, scream, fi ght, and smoke cigars (even the girls!). Their classmates are only safe from them at church. That is, until an in-nocent comment brings the Herd-mans into church and starring in the annual Christmas pageant. Soon the congregation is running for cover! Who would have guessed that the parents, teachers, children, and es-pecially the Herdmans could end up discovering the true meaning of the season? Find out why everyone is in such an uproar over the Herdmans, and how they turn a series of di-sasters into what everyone agrees is “The Best Christmas Pageant Ever.”

Performances are 7:30 p.m., Fri-day, Dec. 3; and at 2 and 7:30 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 4. Tickets are $15 for adults and $10 for children.

OBITUARY

MARY STRAYER, MASTER GARDENER, AUTHOR

With Christmas just around the cor-ner, our minds are on presents, cel-ebrations, and of course decorations. For years, each Christmas I wished I had holly in my landscape, but never did anything about it. This year, I did, and it’s wonderful. According to an old English tradition, even the hum-ble honeybee must be wished a Merry Christmas: Every hive must be orna-mented with a sprig of ruby-berried holly. This tradition has continued into our world today. Holly simply means Christmas to most of us.

Hollies are versatile and handsome, and belong to the family of Ilex. They range from height of trees that tower 100 feet, to creeping prostate shrubs less than a foot tall. There are more than 800 species and selections of hol-lies in cultivation. Here, we are probably most familiar with English, Chinese and Japanese holly shrubs and trees that decorate parks and yards all year. There are 30 species native to North America alone.

One of the best cone-shaped tree hollies I have ever seen may be viewed at Scheopfl e Gardens in Birmingham. The tree is close to 100 feet tall, and defi nitely has that ‘wow’ factor. They have several varieties, including the English Holly ‘Moonbeam,’ which has yellow berries. One only has to imagine the im-pact this holly would have on your own landscape.

Holies grow best in organic matter-enriched soil, and an annual application of compost. Add a thick layer of pine needles or other woody material to maintain the soils acid-ity, and to keep roots most and cool.

All hollies are dioecious, which means you need a male and a female plant to bloom/have berries. When planted in full sun, huge crops of berries may be expected. The hollies most easily found in our immediate area are both “Blue Girl” and “Blue Boy.” The best thing to do when purchasing holly plants for your landscape is to talk to the nurseryman, and follow his instruc-tions for your own par-ticular shrubs.

Happy Gardening.

Schools

The following Huron High School’s students were named Students of the Month for October. These students were voted by their teachers as dem-onstrating exceptional character, atti-tude, good discipline, academics and respect: Freshman Will Koenig; Soph-omore Anthony Ricci; Junior Qiongxi Ouyang and Senior Billy Graves.

EHOVE’s Engineering Technology program received a nationally-recog-nized program re-certifi cation award. This award from the Ohio Department of Education and Project Lead the Way acknowledges that EHOVE’s program teaches the students to the national stan-dard. Re-certifi cation is required every fi ve years to maintain high standards and ensure that the Engineering Tech-nology program is staying current.

Students in EHOVE’s Engineering Technology program invent, design and produce solutions for complex engineer-ing challenges from concept to comple-tion. They explore mechanical, electri-cal, and civil engineering using math and science, and also experience advanced robotics, electronics, Computer Aided Design, and Computer Aided Machin-ing technologies.

While still in high school, these EHOVE students get a head start by earning college credits toward an associate’s degree in Electrical/Electronic Engineering, Mechanical

Engineering and Technology or Technical Study. These courses are offered through a partnership with BGSU/Fire-lands, and are free to students. For more information, go to www.EHOVE.net or call 419-499-4663.

Huron High School is proud to announce the following students who have achieved the Honor Roll for the fi rst nine weeks of the 2010-2011 school year. Students who have at least a 3.5 GPA with no grade lower than a B qualify.

On Nov. 2, St. Peter Junior High School students went high tech in a very personal way. Each student received an iPad, complete with keyboard, to use throughout their school day. Along with easy access to the Internet for re-search, the students can also access all of their textbooks with a simple tap on the screen. They can send their writ-ten work electronically to the teacher, making them par-ticipants in the “green” movement.

“Everything from educational videos to academic enrich-ment activities is now right there at their fi ngertips. This is a great tool for me as I work to individualize student

instruction. A student can move at his or her own pace as there is always something there to challenge or remediate each student,” said Anne Asher, one of the teachers using the technology. “Though I view personal attention as my most important tool in educating youngsters, I can see that this particular technology grabs their attention and helps them to hold their focus.”

“What a joy it was to watch the kids’ faces light up when they entered the classroom and saw that the iPads were sitting ready at their desks,” said Cathy Buckingham, the technology coordinator who researched and readied the iPads for student use.

The iPads were purchased with auxiliary service monies, dollars allotted to private schools in Ohio to purchase edu-cational supplies for their students. The iPads are stored in a cart purchased with memorial donations from friends and family of Andrew Johnson, a long-time parishioner of St. Peter Parish. The cart includes a charger that allows all of the iPads to be charged every evening so that they are ready for use the next school day.

What do the seventh grade students think about this latest technology? The response is nothing but positive. Libby Vacca likes what it does to enhance the social studies, mentioning especially the World Maps App. Lily Engeler and Lucas Pajk like the numerous educational uses they offer students Luke’s brother Jimmy sees the iPad opening many doors of opportunity for educational advancement while Eddie Reilly sees education becoming more exciting. Noah Stevens sums it all up: “What an advantage this is – like having a computer sitting on your desk.”

EHOVE Engineering Technology Instructor Steve Spriggs (center) received a nationally-recognized program re-certifi cation award commending the program on its high standards. The award was given by Terrie Schultz, Project Lead The Way regional representative (left); and Steve Stokey, executive vice-president, Allied Machine and En-gineering Corporation and Ohio Project Lead The Way executive council (right).

The Huron High School Bowl-a-thon was a fund-raiser held last Saturday night at Riverview Lanes. The bowling team is a new addition this year to the Huron city school’s athletic department as a club sport with the intention of becoming a varsity sport within two years. It consists of 14 high school students under the direction of head coach Ryan Hodges and assistant coach Bill Hodges. The middle school has four students led by Head coach Gary Gilbert and assistant coach Jeff Decker. The league is thankful for all of the donations at the bowl-a-thon that will allow the program to get off to a good start.
