Oops-The Hometown News made a mistake. The Anytime Fitness

Anniversary sale on December 6, was published as December 12.

So, they have EXTENDED the SALE

to December 12 9a-1p and December 13 9a-5p.

Santa Claus is Comin’ to Town, courtesy of The Huron Parks and Recreation. The Jolly Old Elf will be visiting Huron for a “Christmas with Santa” event from 3 to 8 p.m. this Saturday, Dec. 11, at the Huron Boat Basin.

Come welcome Santa into town when he arrives at 4 p.m. with a special escort. Once again the Boat Basin will be decorated for the season. A craft area will be offered where children can make and take a craft project home with them. The tradition of “Warm Hands from Young Hearts” will continue; the department asks that dona-tions of gloves/mittens to those in need be placed on the tree at the event. Also, make sure to bundle up for a carriage ride around town and get up close and personal with a real reindeer.

In addition to the scheduled activities, or-ganizers will “Light up the Boat Basin” with luminaries as the sun sets. The Parks n Rec Department would like to thank Cornell’s Foods and Hallmark Dry Cleaners for help-ing to provide this wonderful day for the community.

And for those who can’t come to see Santa Saturday, he will be back in town from 5 to 7 p.m. on Dec. 17 at the Boat Basin (this will be the only activity that day).

Santa Claus is Coming to Town

Bella’s Boutique Holiday Grand

Letter to the Editor,I am writing to publicly tell everyone of the great ser-

vice that is provided by our Huron Fire Department, in particular the Huron Emergency Squad. I had the oppor-tunity to need their assistance two Fridays ago. From the time my son contacted 911 to their arrival was less than five minutes. That in itself was amazing to me, but then came the professional care and treatment. Both squad members were excellent in their approach to my problem; answered my questions; made me comfortable; and pro-ceeded to make my transfer to Firelands Regional Medical Center an easy one. Do I know their names? No, but if they are an indication of the type of care you can expect then we are all blessed. In today’s world I think we take too many things for granted and this is one of those areas we assume is always there. The Huron Emergency Squad is not just the ambulance they drive, but the people who man it. My hat is off to those people.

The Huron Garden club will celebrate the Holiday Season Friday, Dec. 17 with a noon buffet for members and guests. The buffet will be served at the Sandusky Yacht Club, 529 E. Water St., Sandusky. Those attending will participate in a flower show. More information will be forthcoming by the calling committee. Coordinator for the event is Relda Neiderhofer; she can be reached at 419-626-2360.

The Huron High School Vocal Music Department will present the 75th Annual Feast of Carols at 7:30 p.m., Tues-day, Dec. 14 in the McCormick Junior High Auditorium. Tickets are $5 and will be available at the door; or they can be purchased in advance during school hours in the Huron High School office.

SANDUSKY – Goodwill Industries of Erie, Huron, Ot-tawa and Sandusky Counties Inc. has earned accreditation for its major employment programs.

The accreditation from CARF International, an indepen-dent body that accredits agencies providing vocational re-habilitation services, is effective through November 2013 and demonstrates that Goodwill’s conforms with CARF standards. CARF was formerly known as the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities, but changed its official name to CARF.

“We underwent a rigorous, on-site peer review in which a team of CARF surveyors determined that our programs and services are of the highest quality, and that’s what we strive for,” said Robert M. Talcott Jr., Goodwill president and CEO.

Goodwill’s mission is to provide training and employ-ment services for the disabled and disadvantaged. Last year the Sandusky-based organization helped nearly 600 such individuals in its four-county service area.

The CARF approved Goodwill in all five community service categories it applied for: job development, job sup-ports and job-site training. Also accredited were Good-will’s employment development and organizational em-ployment services.

“We’re also very proud of the fact that this is our 11th straight, three-year accreditation. This is a testament to the professionalism and dedication of our staff, and even the generosity of area residents, whose donations to our retail stores help fund our programs,” Talcott said.

Looking for a gift that lasts all year long? The Y has mem-berships for all ages. Come in and take advantage of our Christmas 15, 15, 15 Membership Special: Purchase a “new to the Y” membership 15 days before or 15 days after Christmas and receive 15 percent off.

A homemade cake makes every holiday memorable. Al-though we love fancy cakes, the ones that become classics are often unpretentious and uncomplicated for their sub-tle rich flavor. Pound cakes fit that description perfectly. Originally made with a pound each of butter, sugar, eggs and flour, pound cakes have evolved into an abundance of delectable variations.

“I think a pound cake is appropriate for almost any occa-sion,” said the Martha White baking expert, Linda Carman.

“Serve toasted for breakfast, plain for dessert or paired with fruit, ice cream or sauc-es. Easy to wrap, they make wonderful holiday gifts or dessert to carry to a holiday get-together.”

This glorious Coconut Al-mond Pound Cake has a vel-

vety texture, rich flavor and crackly top that make pound cakes timeless favorites. The addition of coconut and al-mond flavoring give it a distinctive holiday flair making it a wonderful choice for holiday entertaining, a special gift or just to have on hand for unexpected guests. Whenever you serve it, this cake is sure to get rave reviews throughout the holiday season.

Tis the season, it seems, to really want to see something green or otherwise beauti-ful in our gardens and landscapes. Recently were driving past a well-known restau-rant near us, and saw fabulous red berries on small shrubs all around the establish-ment. Wow! There really are berries on shrubs – berries that are really red in color – and its mid-Decem-ber in USDA Zone 5.

Research has shown me that I had located a grand display of a deciduous holly (Ilex verticillata) in its glory. The leaves had dropped, and the cherry-red berries are absolutely breathtaking. The berries are so beautiful, that they nearly dispel some of the chill in the air.

For me, December is a wonderful time to drive around and look at all the colorful dis-plays of lights and other decorations. I be-lieve it is important to keep our landscapes beautiful, even in the winter months, and this particular holly does the job for us.

Winterberry is a native to Canada and the eastern half of the U.S. The shrub survives in wet areas and has adapted now to sur-viving in the home landscape as well. They

desire a more acidic soil, and are grown in partial shade to full sun. There are many c u l t i v a r s , so watch your label-ing when purchasing Winterberry. Some species grow 3 feet tall, while others an amazing 15 feet tall.

Because this shrub is dioecious, you need to purchase one male plant and surround it by females to create the fabulous red ber-

ries. Remember that the berries show after the weather turns cold, and the leaves drop from the plant. The berries hang on usually until the end of January, or later, if not eaten by birds, or the weather conditions allow.

In researching, I have learned that Win-terberry is also an emergency food for birds and other small mammals. If you are pas-sionate about crafts, cut your winterberry branches in November, before the birds and other critters decide the treats were grown specifically for them. Put the cuttings in a container with one inch of water. As the water evaporates or is used by the branches, the leaves will fall off leaving you with useful material for your crafting.

Happy Gardening.

Enjoy the Winter Colors of the Winterberry

Saturday Nights at Black Bear Saloon

It’s hard to tell what Huron is going to get from such a young team each game. Some nights they may look great, other nights ... not so much. But after seeing the young Tigers play on Saturday night, they sure will be exciting and fun to watch. These guys are athletic and seem to have decent court sense. What they lack in size, they make up for with hustle. Plus it doesn’t hurt to have a couple of hard working seniors to show them the ropes in Brian Bollen-

bacher and Kyle Pisano.The game, played in Norwalk, started close and remained

that way throughout. In the fi rst half, neither team had

greater than a three-point lead. Junior Sam Hemker was hit with two fouls early in the opening quarter, but his teammates fi lled in without skipping a beat. Sophomore post Aaron Casey saw a lot of quality playing time on the interior and looked good. Huron played their trademark man-to-man defense most of the game. The Tigers went into halftime with a 25-24 edge.

Huron opened the second half strong. Bollenbacher hit a three-pointer, then he and sophomore Aaron Driftmeyer both hit baskets following offensive rebounds to take a fi ve-point lead, 32-27 with 4:10 left in the third quarter. But, St. Paul calmly battled back to tie the game at 32 with a three pointer of their own with just more than three min-utes left. Then the game went back and forth all the way to the wire.

With three minutes left in the fi nal period, Norwalk com-mitted two straight turnovers, both of which led to Tiger scores. The fi rst was by Graham, while the next came on free throws by Bollenbacher, which gave Huron a 45-42 lead forcing a St. Paul timeout. After a free throw by the home team, the Tiger’s Casey completed a beautifully ex-ecuted press breaker with a lay-in at the 1:35 mark, giving his team a 47-43 lead. Then St. Paul missed a big oppor-tunity when it couldn’t convert either of two free throws with just 56 seconds left. Still, with just 20 seconds left, the home team didn’t panic and patiently executed their of-fense. They were rewarded with a wide open three pointer to make it, 47-46. Again, St. Paul presses, and again, Huron busts it forcing the defense to foul Kyle Pisano with just 15 seconds to play. He hits one of two for a two point lead, 48-46.

With 2.7 seconds left and Norwalk with the ball, Huron seems to do the unthinkable and fouls Norwalk’s Erik Stan-berry. Fortunately, he misses the fi rst free throw, then as he must, purposely misses the second shot. Huron rebounds the ball and is immediately fouled. The Tigers miss both free throws with just :00.5 seconds left. Somehow the clock doesn’t move on the rebound, allowing St.Paul to call time-out, and design one last play. Standing at half court,Adam Smith was able to get off a scary, decent-looking shot that just missed at the buzzer.

“Our kids are young and we came in to a tough place to play ... they’re a good team with a great coach ... ,” an enthusiastic Huron head coach Bobby James blurted out. “We came into St. Paul and won with three sophomores and a freshman playing a lot!”

When asked what his team needed to work on, James quickly said: “Everything – our man defense, our offense ... I wish we had another month before the season started.”

Huron Tigers opened up their home schedule against ar-guably the fi nest team in SBC girls basketball on Saturday in the Clyde Flyers. Generally thought of as an aggressive, pressing team, the Lady Flyers lived up to all of the expec-tations as their tough defense proved too much for the Ti-gers. Led by Head Coach Ty Ray, Huron started all fi ve of their seniors: Gina Munafo, Alexis Lemar, Devon Koenig, Justine Butler and Lauren Volz.

Both teams opened up the action in zone presses. Clyde scored fi rst, which was quickly followed by two made free throws by Devon Koenig. Unfortunately, the Flyers then rolled off 17 unanswered points on their way to a 24-9 lead at the end of the fi rst period. Huron’s press was largely ineffective as Clyde appeared very disciplined in its press break offense.

Eventually, Clyde called off their press, but that didn’t mean they slacked off defensively. The Flyers remained very effective at shutting down the Tiger interior passing lanes. The visitors were able to steadily increase their lead through the entire game. It was 37-16 at the half, which then became 48-20 at the end of the third period.

Lauren Volz was Huron’s most effective player. She fi n-ished with 12 points and six rebounds. Kelsey Koehler, a junior, contributed seven rebounds to go with six points. Clyde was led by an outstanding freshman named Amanda Cahill, who led all scorers with 17 points and gave the Ti-gers’ fi ts with her defensive effort.

Most people can relate to the pain and discomfort of a broken leg or burn. But, imagine living with that wound or chronic pain on a daily basis if it didn’t heal.

“Almost six million Americans suffer from chronic, non-healing wounds. Many are as-sociated with compli-cations from diabetes, vascular disorders, or poor nutrition,” said Dr. Marc Dolce, a board certifi ed podiat-ric surgeon and mem-ber of Fisher-Titus Medical Center’s Wound Healing Institute. “Chronic wounds not only cause pain and discomfort, they are often signs of larger and more complicated problems.”

For the past 10 years, Dolce has been pro-viding his limb salvage expertise at Fisher-Titus Medical Center. “We have saved a lot of limbs through this approach,” he said.

Since the opening of the FTMC Wound Healing Institute in 2009, even more op-tions and treatments to treat patients with non-healing wounds have become available. Dolce recently began performing “partial thickness” skin grafts at Fisher-Titus. Skin grafting is a surgical procedure in which skin or a skin substitute is placed over a burn or non-healing wound. Non-healing wounds, such as diabetic ulcers, venous ul-cers or pressure sores, can be treated with skin grafts to prevent infection and further progression of the wounded area.

“A partial thickness skin graft contains a variable thickness of skin harvested from a site area on the patient, such as a thigh or buttock and transplanted it to the wound area,” Dolce said. “We have seen a high suc-cess rate in this procedure and have saved limbs that normally would have been am-putated.”

Dolce completed his residency in foot and ankle surgery at University Hospitals in Cleveland. He received special training in residency on plastic surgery and also has advanced training on wound healing treat-ments. Dolce graduated from The Ohio College of Podiatric Medicine in Cleveland in 1999 with a doctor of podiatric medicine; and from Bowling Green State University in 1992 with a bachelor of science degree. He has served as chairman of the department of podiatric surgery at the Ohio College of Podiatric Medicine and is currently a Fel-low with the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons.

Another recent addition to the FTMC’s wound therapies is The Qoustic Wound Therapy System®, which optimizes healing and minimizes patient discomfort by us-ing a low-frequency portable ultrasound. It lightly contacts the wound, gently sepa-rating and remov-ing unwanted tissue while preserving healthy tissue. It also is used to prepare the wound for other therapies, such as grafts and fl aps.

Skin Graft Technique Saves Limbs

SANDUSKY – Erie County Help Me Grow, a program that provides health and developmental services to expectant par-ents, newborns, infants and toddlers, re-cently earned a “Meets Standards” rating in a review by the Ohio Department of Health. The exemplary status of “Meets Standards” is the highest rating available.

The review focused on the program’s abil-ity to serve children with disabilities and delays. The review determined that Erie County Help Me Grow was 100 percent compliant with state regulations and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. The state reviewed such areas as county compliance, performance data, and infor-mation obtained through focused monitor-ing visits.

“This is a direct result of the tireless work of our dedicated staff,” said Carrie Beier,

administrator of the Early Intervention program at the Erie County Board of De-velopmental disabilities, which oversees Erie County Help Me Grow. “The commit-ment level of our Help Me Grow team as-sists many Erie County children and fami-lies. Their lives are signifi cantly impacted in such a positive way by the program.”

“The earlier Help Me Grow can get in-volved with a child, the more likely it will have a positive impact on their life,” said Lisa Guliano, superintendent of the Erie County Board of Developmental Disabili-ties. “Studies have shown that the earlier the intervention, the more positive the result. This rating by the state signifi es that Erie County Help Me Grow is a strong, viable operation that has the best interests of our children and families at heart.”
