BY SHEILA EHRHARDT,HURON CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

Anne Hinton’s title for the past 23 years has been director of the Huron Public Library. But in that time, she’s worn many hats – among them overseeing construction of the new building at 333 Williams St. and trans-forming the tri-level structure into a bright,

welcoming collection of rooms and spaces. The addition nearly tripled the size of the

library, going from 12,000 square feet to 36,000. She and the staff have brought the small-town library into the computer age, opening up new horizons to readers of all ages. There were 43,977 titles on the shelves in 1988; by last year it had grown to 56,880.

“We’ve added all different types of media down through the year, with cassettes, books on tape, books on CDs, movies and videos,” Hinton said.

The Huron Library isn’t just a place to go in and get a book – thanks to the hard work and diligence of all the staff it’s become the com-munity center that Huron doesn’t have.

Somewhat of a computer wizard herself, one of Anne’s proudest accomplishments was joining the local library with the Clevnet system – “opening up the rest of the world of literature to Huron readers.”

“We had a collection of 50,000 books at that point, and now we have access to 2.5 million,” she said proudly. “And we’ve gone from four to 27 internet-accessible computers for pa-trons.”

There was one computer in the building when Anne came to work there in 1988. An Apple, it was used to create catalog cards.

Cathy Buckingham, former president of the

library board, feels that “Anne’s vision and contribution has been signifi cant in creating a modern day library that is a lasting gift to the Huron community.

“She has been an advocate of both the tax-payer and the library patron, leading our li-brary and providing quality services through periods of growth and also times of great fi s-cal restraint,” she said.

There are activities and community meet-ings going on non-stop throughout the year at the library and it also houses the huge col-lection of artifacts belonging to the Huron Historical Society.

Seeing many middle-school children com-ing over from McCormick School in the af-ternoons, with nothing but homework to occupy them for the several hours until their parents got off work, Hinton and the staff cre-ated the Huron Youth Connection, a program that is now part of the Boys and Girls Club of Erie County. It offers opportunities for social-izing, help with homework, craft projects and snacks after school.

While she will have more time to spend with husband, Gary, and her granddaughters, Sara, 6 and Jayna, 3 ½, as well as creating pieces of glass artwork, Anne’s not going far from the books. She’s already teaching a class in infor-mation literacy at Ohio Business College.

BY SHEILA EHRHARDT,HURON CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

Art is to be enjoyed by the masses. And retired Huron High School art teacher Rose Calienni spent more than 30 years sharing the challenges and satisfaction that can be achieved by creating a piece of art that is enjoyed by others.

When the Bellevue native graduated from Bowling Green State University in the late 1940s, her father gave her a trip out to southern California to visit a sis-ter. She soon fell in love with the balmy weather and ocean views along the Orange County coast-line.

“When I saw a classifi ed ad for a teacher at a parochial school in Santa Ana, I decided to stay a while and enjoy the sunshine,” she reminisced.

For the next 17 years, the ad-venturesome Ohioan taught art and home economics at Ma-tre Deis High School. “It was, and still is, the largest parochial school west of the Mississippi,” she recalled proudly.

Lured back to Ohio by the pull of family ties, Miss Calienni start-ed the art department at Vermil-ion High School and was there for several years until in 1969 the late principal Rockie Larizza convinced her to come and teach art at Huron High School.

“Miss Rose,” as she was known to her students, could spot artis-tic talent from a mile away and had a knack for making them see it, as well. Each holiday season, students vied for the honor of decorating downtown Huron store windows with Christmas scenes. “The boys and girls really got into it and I was always so proud of them, when people complimented us on their artistic skills,”

One picture in particular stands out in her memory. It was during the confl ict in the

Gulf, that a student painted a picture of a GI standing at attention, holding his weapon and looking wistfully at the infant Jesus and Mary shown in a stable on a small hill in the back-ground.

“I always let the students pick their subjects, it helped them become more involved and in-stilled a sense of pride in their work,” said Cali-enni of the scenes, which were created using tempera paint so that it could easily be washed off.

Miss Calienni’s art class created a huge mu-ral for Huron’s new city building, depicting a collage of local scenes. The wall had to be re-

moved several years later when new windows were installed, and the “mother hen teacher” is still miffed about it.

Seriously injured in a 1980 auto accident, she was forced to retire from teaching, but has

found a way to share her talents with neighbors and friends. Each year, shortly after Thanksgiving, the talented artist paints a holi-day scene on the front picture window of her Huron home. Former students often stop by to check out this year’s picture and visit a while with one of their fa-vorite teachers.

Several of her students have gone on to life careers in art. An-drea Bowers fi rst met Calienni when she was only 7 or 8 and her parents realized that she had a talent for drawing.

“My mom asked Miss Rose if she would give me some lessons and she had a special knack for teaching me the ‘meat and potato skills’ of basic drawing, some-thing that isn’t taught any more,” Bowers recalled.

Now based in Los Angeles, Bow-ers describes her work as political art, featuring activists for various causes from around the world. She blends pencil drawing with videos that she shoots herself. These are displayed together as multi-media installations at pres-tigious galleries in New York, Los Angeles and Europe. The versa-tile artist is a noted sculptor and also creates handmade books.

Another HHS grad who headed west with his portfolio and stayed

is Charlie Baker, who earned a degree in archi-tectural history from the University of Virginia and now does interior design work and creates specialized carpet installations for a company in Los Angeles.

Rose Calienni, an amazing octogenarian, has helped hundreds of young people better enjoy art, and guided dozens of others into sharing their artistic talents with the world.

BY CHIEF JOHN T. MAJOYOn behalf of the men and women of the Huron Police

Department, I would like to wish ev-eryone a Happy New Year. New Year’s Eve is, for many, a time to celebrate. The Huron Police Department en-courages those celebrating to use a designated driver. All too often we read about a senseless alcohol-related traffi c crash resulting in severe injury or fatality.

The Ohio Traffi c Safety Offi ce re-ports that in 2008, 449 people died in alcohol-related crashes on Ohio’s roads, down from 473 in 2007 and 495 in 2006. More than 8,000 people were in-jured. We would like to continue this declining trend from 2010 to 2011.

Consider the other potential consequences of drinking and driving – jail, costly legal bills, losing your license, job, reputation and damaging your future. Designate a sober driver or call a cab.

BY LT. PAUL HASENMEIER,HURON FIRE DEPARTMENTWinter is upon us and you have probably noticed the

freezing waters of our local ponds, the Huron River and Lake Erie. Although these bodies of water might look like they are frozen solid and it is very tempting to go for a walk, ice skate, go fi shing, or fi nish a sled ride down a hill onto the ice; you should never trust the ice by just look-ing at it. Over the next week, the weather forecast is for temperatures above freezing, which makes ice even more unpredictable.

Our recommendation is that you never venture out onto the river or lake and watch to make sure your children or pets do not wander out onto any body of water. Ice thick-ness is not always consistent and water levels underneath ice rises and falls. Keep in mind that the ice may be strong enough to hold small children, it may not hold you if you go after them.

We understand winter recreation around our area and urge all parents to remind their children of the dangers of playing on the ice. If you decide to go skating or fi shing keep the following tips in mind:

• Always check the weather and ice conditions before go-ing out on the ice

• Always tell family and friends where you are going and when you are expected back

• Use the buddy system• Dress in bright colors, wear an exposure suit and a PFD

• Carry a whistle to alert people of distress, carry a cell phone and/or a VHF-FM radio

• Carry two screwdrivers or a set of ice awls for self-rescue

If someone goes through the ice, remember to use the reach or throw method after calling 911 to get rescuers on the way. A rope, branch or other item may be used to try and reach the victim. Time is a critical factor in cold water immersion as the strength of a victim diminishes quickly. Huron fi refi ghters are trained in ice rescue and will quickly respond should the need arise, but hope for an uneventful winter season on the water.

Area students are invited to show off their artistic talent by participating in the inaugural Lyman Harbor Art Con-test and Scholarship.

The scholarship prizes are $2,000 for fi rst place; $1,000 for second place; and $500 for third place. The scholarship award must be split between the school and the partici-pant.

All participating students should create one piece of art depicting a Lake Erie Scene of their choice. Along with their artwork, they must write a short description of the loca-tion and its signifi cance to the artist. All artwork should worked on between Sept. 1 and Jan. 20 so that all partici-pants have an equal opportunity. In an effort to ensure the submitted art is original and that it was created during the allotted time frame, the blank artwork must be stamped with a teacher’s signature and date.

The contest will be held on Jan. 20. It is required that all students bring their artwork to Lyman Harbor for display by Jan. 19. The same day as the art show, Lyman Harbor will be the site of the American Red Cross Bloodmobile so that the public can view the artwork during the blood drive. Doors open at 4 p.m., Jan. 20, and three distin-guished judges will review and rate the artwork. Refresh-ments will be provided.

For the three winners of the contest, Lyman Harbor would like to award them by buying their artwork in the form of a scholarship. The artwork will then be perma-nently displayed at Lyman Harbor. The winner will be an-nounced at 7 on the evening of the art show. We encour-age all students with work on display to attend the contest. Pictures of the winners will be taken and submitted to the local newspapers.

For more information, contact Tammy Drossman at [email protected].

MILAN — Prominent leaders in both the corporate and non-profit worlds came together at the recent Jamie Farr Owens Corning Classic tournament’s annual charity lun-cheon. Veggie U was invited to be among these leaders.

At the luncheon, $315,000 was dis-tributed to Northwest Ohio children’s charities as a result of the 2010 LPGA golf tournament.

“What an amazing display of gener-osity,” said Molly Reams-Thompson, director of development for Veggie U.

During the luncheon, leaders an-nounced Veggie U as a beneficiary of the upcoming 2011 U.S. Senior Open Championship being hosted by the Inverness Club (July 25-31.)

Mill Manor Care Center is undergoing a multimillion-dollar expansion project that will increase the privately owned nursing and rehabilitation facility’s capacity from 25 to 33 Medicare/Medicaid certifi ed beds. The addition will feature more private rooms, a rehabilitation unit and a special care unit for persons with Alzheimer’s and related disorders.

The facility located at 983 Exchange St., Vermilion, is owned and operated by Steven and Wendy Rankin of Castalia. Steve is a 1987 graduate of BGSU and an Ohio licensed nursing home administrator. Wendy has an ex-

tensive healthcare background and is the facility’s quality assurance nurse.

Since the Rankins’ purchased Mill Manor in November 2004, the facility has undergone several enhancements and program changes that have led to its prominent status in the local health-care market. STAR Builders of Amherst, Ohio, is the general contractor for the project. The expan-sion and renovation project is expected to be complete in the spring of 2011.

For more information, contact Steven Rankin at 440-967-6614 or [email protected].

Q: How did Huron come to have a bowling team? A: This is not the fi rst time Huron High School has had

a bowling team. Huron had a bowling team that fi nished their last season in 2004. After that season most of the in-terest in a bowling team died out. Now that the interest in

bowling has grown again, Gary Gilbert and Chris Gosser decided to see if a team would be possible again. Gary Gil-bert is the owner of Riverview Lanes in Huron and Chris Gosser is the parent of two of the bowlers. Mrs. Gosser and Mr. Gilbert used the Saturday morning bowling leagues as a recruiting center and brought all of the kids together that now make up our team.

Q: How many kids are the team? How many participate in a match? Can people come and watch the matches?

A: We currently have 18 bowlers that make up our team. We have 14 high school team members and 4 middle school bowlers. The varsity team consists of our top 5 bowlers. Ev-ery practice we hold we have our bowlers throw one game and that game helps determine their average, top fi ve aver-ages compete as the varsity team. The fi fth and sixth place bowlers are used as alternates that can be mixed into the rotation at any time in case one of the varsity is struggling. After that the next fi ve highest average make up the JV team. The standard is that 10 bowlers make up the varsity and jv team, but up to three bowlers can be substituted for each team. We do our best to try to get all of our bowlers on the lanes during each match.

Q: Tell me about your coaching experience? A: As far as coaching a bowling team goes, this is my fi rst

time but I must say that I am already emotionally attached to working with this team. I am going into my 4th season as a head coach, my other coaching experience comes from the Huron High School boys tennis team and the Bellevue High School girls tennis team. These kids are smart bowl-ers but they still have a lot that they can learn and I believe that the coaching staff we have is ready to start providing them with more knowledge.

Q: When and how did you fi rst become involved in bowling?

A: I have been bowling for almost all of my life. The night

I was born my dad went bowling in celebration. Only a couple of nights after being released from the hospital my parents took me to a bowling alley for league night. I was in Saturday morning leagues from the time I could walk till I turned 18. I bowled for the Huron High School bowling

team from my sophomore year of high school till I gradu-ated in 2004. I play a multitude of sports but bowling has always been the most addicting of them and my favorite. I took a break from bowling when I went to college at Tiffi n University on a tennis scholarship. Then Chris Gosser gave me a call one day and asked me if I would be interested in helping with a new high school team and I knew this was going to be something I defi nitely wanted to be a part of.

Q: What happens in a typical dual match?A: Every varsity and JV match is run the same way. Two

standard games are bowled by each of the fi ve bowlers. Af-ter those games the team comes together to bowl 5 Baker games. A Baker game consists of each bowler throwing two frames of a 10 frame game. The fi rst bowler will throw frames 1 and 6, the second bowler frames 2 and 7, and so forth. After these fi ve games are bowled, the total pin fall from the fi rst two standard games and the fi ve baker games is added up and the highest score wins the match.

Q: What are your goals for the team in their inaugural season?

A: Ultimately, our inaugural season is about learning what we are capable of as a team. We have bowled a few matches already and we have kept close with our compe-tition so we know we have a strong team that just needs some guidance and experience. That is our main goal this year, building the experience.

Q: What kind of averages do your best bowlers have?A: Our top bowlers are holding averages anywhere from

175 to just over 200. When we are practicing at our home lanes, Riverview Lanes, we have a tendency to have high scores, but when we go to matches with different alley conditions (heavier oil, lighter oil, different oil layout) our scores tend to drop a bit because our kids are not use to dealing with these conditions.

Huron’s older Tigers, senior Brian Bollenbacher and ju-nior Kyle Pisano, led their varsity squad to a win last week in Oak Harbor. Bollenbacher led all scorers with 18 points,

while Pisano put in 15 points of his own. The win puts the Tigers back at .500 in both, the SBC (2-2), and in their overall total (3-3).

Tigers dismantle Rockets, 54-31

Kyle Pisano drives to hole on a Tiger fast break in a game earlier this season.

Last week the Huron Tigers and Coach Rob Majoy hosted eight schools in their annual Tiger Duals. With the pro-gram heading in the right direction, Coach Majoy’s squad fi nished third with a 4-1 overall record. In pool play, Hu-ron defeated Montpelier (60-21); Smithville (64-18); Lin-colnview (54-29); and Ontario (36-35 in third place fi nals); while only succumbing to North Ridgeville (52-26). Hu-ron has enough wrestlers in its program that it also had a “B” team that placed sixth after falling to Montpelier (39-36).

Huron’s two state qualifi ers from last season, Nino Ma-joy and Matt King, went a perfect 5-0 on the day. Senior Jordan Romick also fi nished 5-0 for an excellent start to his last year.

Huron Announces December Honor Students

Schools

Huron opened play last week in Margaretta with very solid performance against the heavily favored Polar Bears. While Coach Ray’s team eventually lost 45-40, his team battled back into the game after being down 30-20 at the half. On nights like this the team would have folded, but the girls continued to play hard. The Tigers were led by Lauren Volz, who had 10 of her 21 points in the fourth quarter as Huron closed in on Margaretta.

Two days later, at home, the Tigers won their second SBC game of the season. This time it came against the team

from Port Clinton, 57-46. Huron was strong both offen-sively and defensively in the win. On defense, they forced the Redskins into 28 turnovers while rolling off 35 points total in the second and third quarters on offense. Volz, with 17 points, had scoring help from seniors Devon Koenig and Alexis Lemar who contributed 9 points apiece.

Lady Tigers Progress with Solid Performances

Senior Alexis Lemar in her position in Huron’s full court zone press. Lemar had 9 points against Port Clinton.

Junior Sierra Ward fi nished with seven points against Port Clinton.
