“ARTirondack” Public Art Project Seeks Artists

As you may have heard by now 2009 marks the 200th Birthday Celebration for Huron and in celebration of this commemorative year the Huron Bicentennial Committee is planning a community Art Project named “ARTiron-dack”!

ARTirondack is looking for artists with an eye to recreate Huron in an art form AND use an Adirondack chair as the canvas! The Hu-ron Bicentennial ARTirondack Committee will provide the chairs and the fun, while the artists will need to bring the creativity and the imagi-nation!

ARTirondack will feature 25 individually de-signed and hand-painted Adirondack Chairs. The Chairs will have their fi rst public appear-ance at a “Preview Party” at either the James H. McBride Arboretum or in the Cedar Point Room at BGSU Firelands scheduled for June 11, 2009. After The Preview Party the Chairs

will be featured at local businesses, and other selected public locations during the months of June and July before being auctioned off on August 11, 2009 at a gala event at the Nia Cen-ter in the Kalahari Resort during the Bicenten-nial Week.

ARTirondack will provide an opportunity for sponsors and artists to support the History of Huron and its 200th year Bicentennial cel-ebration. All participating artists will be rec-ognized in all publicity releases and marketing materials with their chair.

If you are interested in participating in AR-Tirondack or would like more information regarding the community art project please contact either Julie Barnes Foster at [email protected] or Jennifer Kilbury at [email protected] to receive an “Artist’s Pack-et of Information”.

Girls’ Night Out organizers Gretchen and Doug Studer recently spread some cheer to four local cancer programs as they distributed the proceeds of the fourth annual Girls’ Night Out event, an evening of entertainment, fun and fundraising just for women held Oct. 29 at the Nia Center at Kalahari. The local benefi t was attended by over 1,100 women and raised almost $30,000 for Cancer Services, the Fisher-Titus Mammography Fund, the Firelands Regional Medical Center Cancer Program Fund and North Coast Cancer Founda-tion.

“This year’s Girls’ Night Out event was a phenomenal success and we thank all who attended and made it possible to give to four local cancer programs that will help our community,’” said Doug Studer, co-owner of Curves in Norwalk, Sandusky and Huron and co-founder of Girls’ Night Out with his wife, Gretchen.

The fi rst Girls’ Night Out was organized by the Studers and a committee of dedi-cated volunteers in 2005. Funds were given to local cancer programs, Cancer Services of Erie County and the Norwalk area and

Fisher-Titus Mammography Fund. That year $11,500 was raised for the two chari-ties and over 300 women attended.

“Over the years, this event has become a regional event and has truly become a community effort to support the lo-cal cancer programs that touch so many lives,” Studer said.

In 2006, Firelands Regional Medical Center’s Cancer Fund also was a recipient of the $21,000 raised and over 900 ladies attended the event at Kalahari’s Nia Cen-ter. In 2007, the event was attended by over 1,000 women and raised $25,000 with the money divided between Cancer Services, Fisher-Titus Mammography Fund and Firelands Regional Medical Center Foun-dation Cancer Program Fund.

“It is amazing that we are now planning for our fi fth annual event,” Studer said. “This event would not be possible without the help of many organizations, groups and volunteers that make it such a suc-cess.”

This year’s event is tentatively scheduled for Wednesday, Oct. 28. Watch for more details on www.girlsnightoutcharity.com

THE CITY OF HURON, OHIOAndy White

Acting Clerk of CouncilIf you desire to obtain a temporary driving permit, commercial driver’s license, or a mo-torcycle endorsement, the procedures have changed as of December 15, 2008. Customers fi rst must visit the Ohio State Highway Patrol Driver Examination Station to take a knowl-edge test as opposed to purchasing a tempo-rary packet before taking the test. A photo will be taken at this time. Customers must bring two (2) forms of identifi cation for the test. Ex-amples of identifi cation needed are a birth cer-tifi cate and social security card. A complete list of acceptable forms of identifi cation is found at the Bureau of Motor Vehicle website at www.

bmv.ohio.gov/driver-license/aid.htm Customers will be able to purchase the tem-

porary permit from the Deputy Registrar only after successfully passing the knowledge test. This new procedure reduces paperwork, increases effi ciency, and also insures that the person taking the test is the same person who is receiving the license.

Articles appearing in this column are in-tended 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.

Each year, Erie MetroParks and the Eagle Protection Task Force determine management issues related to MetroParks that are home to American Bald Eagles, such as Commu-nity Foundation Preserve at Eagle Point and Joseph Steinen Wildlife Area. These MetroPark areas are located off SR 6 (Cleveland Road) between Sandusky and Huron. Due to the resident eagles changing their nest location, Joseph Steinen Wildlife Area will be closed this year in addition to areas at Eagle Point that were closed during previous nesting sea-sons.

In consideration of the needs of both the eagles and the public, Erie MetroParks has formed the Eagle Protection Task Force, a group of interested citizens and professionals who act as a guiding hand on how the property will be man-aged for public use. Erie MetroParks and the Eagle Protec-

tion Task Force jointly devised a plan to expand public access to during the nesting season while continuing to protect the breeding habitat of the eagles by following state and federal land use guidelines. Although the eagles don’t seem to mind the nearby trains, planes and automobiles, they are often easily disturbed by humans simply walking near their nest.

Task force members created a plan that honored this im-portant detail, while also allowing the public to enjoy their MetroPark. The eagles will still have the peaceful habitat they desire, while just outside their range, the public may also enjoy their own area for hiking, cross country skiing and more. In essence, both the public and the eagles win!

The accessible areas are located off Cleveland Road in a property adjacent to the MetroParks, which is owned by the City of Sandusky called East Sandusky Bay Extension.

It includes a loop trail that connects to the existing Erie MetroParks parking lot at Eagle Point. Most area residents recognize this property as the site of the former drive-in the-ater that was recently demolished. These areas will be open from 8 am to dark daily. Visitors may follow the trail, but avoid other trails that are posted on the boundary estab-lished for the eagle zone.

The closed areas will reopen for public use this summer, or sooner, as determined appropriate by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Ohio Department of Natural Re-sources Division of Wildlife.

Groups wishing to arrange a supervised tour or program with EMP program staff may do so by contacting Erie MetroParks. For more details,contact Erie MetroParks at (419) 625-7783 or [email protected].

Schools

State Funding of Huron SchoolsThe State of Ohio has a complex formula, to say the least, for

providing State funding to school districts.The formula is based on a per pupil amount, $5,732 for this

year, that is given for each student attending Huron Schools. In addition more monies are added if the student has special needs such as speech therapy, etc. Depending on the severity of the needs the amount could be almost double the basic, $5,732.

However, there is a MAJOR “Catch 22”. After computing the basic amount, $8.1 million in our case, the State makes a sub-traction. This subtraction is based on District wealth. Wealth in Ohio is considered property values. In our case that is $342 million, which puts us in the top tier of the state’s “wealthy” districts. The state computes the amount that 23 mills generate from our property value. That is $7.6 million. And, they SUB-TRACT it from the basic amount of $8.1 million leaving us eli-gible for $500,000 in basic aid from the state.

When the state adopted this system in 2004 there were almost 200 districts, like us, that were harmed by the formula. For that reason, they promised to hold us “harmless” and guarantee us what we received before the implementation of this system. So we receive an additional $1.5 million in Transitional Aid. How-ever, keep in mind this holds us harmless to income levels that are from 2004!!! Basically, barring some minor shifts in special needs our income stream from the State is frozen at 2004 levels.

We do receive some additional money from the State for things like transportation, $319,000; curriculum help of $72,000, etc. The bottom line is that we receive about $2.5 million annually. This represents about 15% of our total funding.

The State will say it is higher because they count monies as state aid that they send us for Rollback, Homestead exemption and Personal Property Tax reimbursement. However, keep in mind this is merely the legislature returning monies to us that were already on the tax rolls and we were collecting before they eliminated these taxes. And, the return is not one dollar for each dollar lost, more like 90 cents on the dollar. And, in 2012 it is going to get worse as the State will begin to phase out reimburse-ment for Personal Property taxes lost. Likewise, the Governor has announced he is reducing transitional aid next year by 5%. That means we will lose $75,000. But even counting in the above reimbursements, for things like Rollback, etc., State assistance was still only 27% of our total revenues last year.

Like it or not we are basically on our own in the funding of Huron Schools.

The Governor has indicated that he will be proposing a new school funding system with the next budget. We can only hope that it will bring some relief to the local tax burden that “wealthy” districts, like us, continue to bear.

SCHOOL LUNCH MENUSHURON CITY SCHOOLS

News from St. Peter SchoolWe are Family!

St. Peter School students are using their family groups to live out their call to service. Family groups, made up of 14-16 stu-dents of all ages, meet to take part in activities built around one of the nineteen life skills that contribute to the wholeness, and holiness, of our students. The monthly meetings follow a format of community builder, brain gym activity, cooperative activity, prayer and a challenge assignment. Students have been

challenged to hone their skills in building courage, patience, and caring as well as to work on being truthful, trustworthy and producing your personal best ef-fort in all you do.

The most recent of the meet-ings was built around the life skill of caring. The Erie County Humane Society was invited in

to make a presentation of the services they offer and to let the students know how they might help the Humane Society. Sev-eral of their animals were there to see, much to the glee of all in attendance. As their challenge, students received a list of items that could be donated to the So-ciety. It was their challenge to fill the family group decorated boxes with these items and send them to the Humane Society. Several boxes were donated.

Catholic Schools Week ActivitiesSt. Peter School students and staff have spent the time of Janu-

SportsTigers Fall Just Short

Against PanthersBy ChriS MiSChler

On a bitter cold Saturday evening, the St. Mary’s Panthers traveled to Huron to take on the Tigers in a conference game. Huron was looking to sweep the season series against the Panthers, but were playing without their start-ing point guard, who is out for the remainder of the season. Also on stage tonight were the Tiger Mini-Cheerleaders to add a little extra pep for the team, so there was a good-sized crowd on hand.

Huron opened the game with a big starting lineup consisting of Zach Grieves, Brandon Poorman, Steve Bowers, Matt Lehrer, and Bri-an Bollenbacher. Good thing for the Tigers that Poorman was on the court for he would hit the Tigers first five baskets plus one free throw for 11 first quarter points. At the 1:59 mark, Zach Grieves would hit a three pointer then thirty seconds later add two more to give the home team a 16 – 11 lead. St. Mary’s would finish the first period on a 5-0 run to tie the game at 16 a piece. There was little scoring for either team in a haphazard second stanza as the Pan-thers would take a 24 – 20 lead into the locker room.

The third period was a tale of three signifi-cant runs. First, the Panthers sprinted out on a 13-0 run that had the Tiger faithful scratching their heads wondering about their team. But halfway through the quarter, Huron senior Co-lin Scheid went on a 6-0 run of his own which included a fantastic diving steal and heads up time out call to get his team mates the ball. Matt Lehrer and Brandon Poorman both hit FG’s to pull Huron to within three of the lead at 30 – 33 with 1:05 left in the third quarter. In that last minute, St. Mary’s had the final run picking up five more points and a 38 – 30 lead.

Colin Schied opened the exciting fourth with a basket from about five feet beyond the three point arc. Matt Lehrer would add his own bucket. That, along with two free throws from Scheid, and suddenly Huron was only down by one point, 37 – 38 at the 5:34 mark. At this point, both teams began to tighten up. With 3:51 left and St. Mary’s up 39 – 37, the Pan-ther’s quick point guard, Dane Windisch went into what can best be described as a one man stall. Being, by far, the quickest and best ball handler on the floor, Windisch ran the clock down to below the two minute point. With 1:33 left, Huron’s athletic Matt Lehrer tied the game (39-39) with a field goal. Windisch, who would lead all scorers with 18 points, led his Panthers right back down the floor to pick up two more points (41-39). At the :46 mark, Brandan Poorman draws a foul and hits two big free throws to tie the game yet again.

The Panthers decide to hold the ball for one final shot and run the clock down to :10 before calling time out. When St. Mary’s inbounds the ball, the Tigers immediately double team Windisch, but inadvertently cause a blocking foul putting the pesky Panther point guard on the line. He sinks both shots (43 – 41). With just six seconds left, and the Tigers needing to go the length of the floor, a SMCC player fouls Matt Lehrer just as the ball is in bounded. So with :05 left and the Tigers trailing by two points, Matt Lehrer hits the first of two free throws but misses the second. Huron center, Steve Bowers gets the long rebound and has one last good, but hurried look from ten feet out. The shot falls short as do the Huron Ti-gers, 42 – 43.

Brandon Poorman led all Tigers with 17 points while Collin Schied had a very big elev-en points of his own. The JV game had the Tigers posting a 41-35 victory. The home team was led by junior Eric Volz’s 18 points and big man, Jon Hicks’16 points.

A Few Moments with…Megan WestBy ChriS MiSChler

Megan West is currently a senior at Huron High School and has played this year on both the basketball team and the soccer team. As you will see below, she is high energy both on and off the playing surface.

Q: When did you first start playing basketball and with whom did you play? A: I first started playing competitive basketball when I was in 5th and 6th grade for CYO at St.

Peters Catholic School. Q: What are your strengths as a basketball player? A: I feel that one of my strengths as a basketball player is that I’m willing to learn from my mis-

takes to become a better player. Q: Which sport do you feel is tougher to play, basketball or soccer, and why? A: I would have to say basketball is tougher only because you have to constantly be thinking and

it’s always go go go… Don’t get me wrong, Soccer is very tough as well but you only have a certain job that you have to do on a certain part of the field and when you finish doing yours, you can only hope that your teammates do theirs. In Basketball, you’re playing both defense and offense, working as a team the entire time that the clock is running.

Q: What are your plans for the spring when basketball is done? A: When the season is over, I plan to work before heading off to college. I’m not sure what I want

do in the future at this point, so I’ll also be doing a lot of research to help me understand what I would like to pursue as a career. Basketball will fit in as often as I can and I’ve already talked to Coach Ray about coming back and helping him and the future Lady Tigers for the upcoming season.

Q: What are your plans after high school? A: I plan on attending Kent State University in the fall and until then I’ll be working. Q: If you have an afternoon free, what would you do? A: A free afternoon with my friends could be filled with a lot of different things. We love to go

dancing even if it’s just in the car, outside or just sitting around listening to music. There’s never a dull moment with them. We’re all easily entertained so even if we don’t have plans to hang out with boys or go out to the movies, we have a blast just sitting at home. Of course, a free afternoon with my parents would be “The perfect time to clean!” Usually a free afternoon with my family is filled with talking, laughter, movies and card games. We play ‘em all: Rummy, Speed, Garbage, Gin 13, Euchre, etc. It’s just nice to stay home every so often with the people that you’re most comfortable around.

Q: Who has had the most positive influence on your life so far, other than your parents? A: I would definitely have to say that my older brothers, Stephen and Brian, have had the biggest

impact on my life so far. They have helped me with so many different situations, whether it be helping me with a sport, school work, or giving me advice on life and friends. They’re there for me whenever I need it. I guess you can say they’re my best friends.

Q: What is the best movie you’ve seen in 2008? A: The best movie I’ve seen in 2008 would definitely have to be The Dark Knight. Q: What is currently on your ipod that you listen to the most?A: I have the biggest variety of music on my ipod, ranging from Hip-Hop and R&B to Country

to Rap to Alternative Rock to simply alternative. I love all different types of music. Q: What is your favorite class in school?A: I would have to say Art. I enjoy all different types of Art: Oil Painting, Drawing, Watercolor,

Photography, etc. Since Interior Design or Marketing is two of my career options, Art helps me broaden my creativity.

Fourth Quarter Propels Pirates Past TigersPerkin’s Bethany Caudill

reaches 1,000 Career PointsBy ChriS MiSChler

The Huron Girls Varsity team was finally back at full strength last Friday night just in time to see one of the SBC’s best teams, the Perkins Pirates, come to Hu-ron. Having faced the Oak Harbor Rockets earlier in the week without Tiger guards, Caroline Estel and Meg West, the depleted Lady Ti-gers were handed a tough 53–25 loss in Oak Harbor. Now the Tigers were back home and ready to face a more talented Pirate team, but one that they had played tough earlier in the year.

Meg West opened the scoring in a tightly contested first quar-ter. Defense was the name of the game early on, with Huron in their 2–3 zone and Perkins in a half court press. Halfway through the first period, the score was still 2-2. Four minutes later, the quarter ended with Perkins on top 10–8. The second stanza saw both teams open their offenses slightly. With 4:21 left in the first half and the

game tied 14 apiece, Huron went on 6-0 run. The run was broken and play stopped at the 2:30 mark when the Pirate’s Bethany Caudill reached the career 1,000 point plateau. Then 30 seconds later, Caudill hit a three pointer to

bring the Pirates back at 20–19. The Tigers would finish the second period still in the lead, 22–19. Ashley Stacey and Meg West had five points a piece.

Perkins came out of the break fast by go-ing on a 14–3 run. Huron called time at the 3:36 mark in the third quarter to halt Pirate momentum. It worked, but play for both teams turned sloppy as only one basket was scored, by Huron, until there was 1:15 left in the period. That’s when Perkins would hit a three to take a 36–27 lead. With fifteen seconds remaining, Huron’s Devon Gren-dow would make a field goal that looked be the last points of the third period. Bethany Caudill charged down the floor and hit a long three at the buzzer to give the Pirates a 41–29 lead. That proved to be too much for the Tigers who would score only eight more points in the game giving Perkins a 54–37 victory. Huron was led by the hustling freshman point guard Caroline Estel, who hit the final basket at the final buzzer to give her 6 points, 3 assists, and 6 rebounds. The star of the night was the Pirate’s Bethany Caudill who would finish with a team lead-ing 19 points.

The Huron JV’s were again victorious and now sit with a 7–5 record. “The girls have definitely turned a corner and are re-ally starting to get it.” Said the enthusiastic JV coach Monica Asher. The Tigers scoring

was very balanced but the leaders were Ellie Justus with eight points and Justine Butler with seven points.

Mini-Cheerleaders Show Tiger Pride

This past Saturday, elementary age girls from all over Huron were invited to take part in an annual cheerleading class put on by the High School Cheerleading Advi-sor, Lisa Smith and all the cheer-leaders. The young ladies arrived at 10:30 am and spent much of the day with the high schoolers. The children were taught a variety of cheers, tumbling and dances but probably most important, they got to spend time with the dedi-cated older students they look up to with admiration at the sporting events. The day was capped off by a performance in front of a large Huron home crowd during half-time of the Huron vs. St. Mary’s Varsity basketball game.

Swim Team Fundraiser The Huron Swim Team will be having a fundraising event to increase revenue for the team.

Team parents will bake homemade treats for Valentine’s Day and the team will sell tickets for a drawing for $2.00 each. The winner will receive 10 dozen treats.

DEE HARTLEY

SENIOR TAX ADVISOR AT H & R BLOCK

Even the most basic informa-tion needed on your tax return is not simple. Filing Status and De-pendents and the forms that go with them take hours of class time to learn. Every tax pro at our of-fi ce has this knowledge and knows where to fi nd the answer to your question if it goes beyond what was covered in their 69 hours of instruction.

Here is what IRS has to say about these two tax return items: 1. Dependents may be required to fi le their own tax return.

Even though you are a dependent on someone else’s tax re-turn, you may still have to fi le your own tax return. Whether or not you must fi le a return depends on several factors, in-cluding: the amount of your unearned, earned or gross in-come, your marital status, any special taxes you owe and any advance Earned Income Credit payments you received.

2. Exemptions reduce your taxable income. There are two types of exemptions: personal exemptions and exemptions for dependents. For each exemption you can deduct $3,500 on your 2008 tax return. Exemptions amounts are reduced for taxpayers whose adjusted gross income is above certain levels, which is determined by your fi ling status.

3. Dependents may not claim an exemption. If you claim someone as a dependent, such as your child, that dependent may not claim a personal exemption on their own tax return.

4. Your spouse is never considered your dependent. On a joint return, you may claim one exemption for yourself and one for your spouse. If you’re fi ling a separate return, you may claim the exemption for your spouse only if they had no gross income, are not fi ling a joint return and were not the dependent of another taxpayer.

5. Some people cannot be claimed as your dependent. Gen-erally, you may not claim a married person as a dependent if they fi le a joint return with their spouse. Also, to claim some-one as a dependent, that person must be a U.S. citizen, U.S.

resident alien, U.S. national or resident of Canada or Mexico for some part of the year. There is an exception to this rule for certain adopted children.

For more information on dependents and exemptions, in-cluding whether or not you or your dependent needs to fi le a tax return, see IRS Publication 501, Exemptions, Standard Deduction, and Filing Information

The Five Filing Status Possibilities Everyone who fi les a federal tax return must determine

which fi ling status applies to them. It’s important you choose your correct fi ling status as it determines your standard de-duction, the amount of tax you owe and ultimately, any re-fund owed to you.

There are two things to consider when determining your fi ling status:

First, your marital status on the last day of the year deter-mines your fi ling status for the entire year. Secondly, if more than one fi ling status applies to you, choose the one that gives you the lowest tax obligation.

Here are the fi ve fi ling status options: 1. Single. This will generally apply to anyone who is un-

married, divorced or legally separated according to your state law.

2. Married Filing Jointly. A married couple may fi le a joint return together. If your spouse died during the year, you may still fi le a joint return with that spouse for the year of death.

3. Married Filing Separately. A married couple may elect to fi le their returns separately.

4. Head of Household. This generally applies to taxpayers who are unmarried. You must also have paid more than half the cost of maintaining a home for you and a qualifying per-son to qualify for this fi ling status.

5. Qualifying Widow(er) with Dependent Child. You may be able to choose this fi ling status if your spouse died dur-ing 2006 or 2007, you have a dependent child and you meet certain other conditions.

There’s much more information about determining your fi ling status in Publication 501, Exemptions, Standard De-duction, and Filing Information. Publication 501 is available on the IRS Web site at IRS.gov or by calling 800-TAX-FORM (800-829-3676).
