Join us on Saturday, July 9, 2011 as we run the streets of Huron to help fight the battle against ALS. ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis – Lou Gehrig Disease) is a progres-sive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord. NOMS and the Huron Tigers Boosters have teamed up to sponsor this annual race which this year will assist a local family that has been directly impacted by this disease as well as the local chapter of the ALS Association.

Mike Danilo was a long time resident of Huron and avid supporter of athletics within the Huron system. Mike recently passed away on April 29, 2011. He was married with 3 children. Mike was diagnosed with ALS in 2007 and fought the disease with courage and grace. With the love and support of family and friends, he made the best of each day. He was passionate about youth, being active at St. Peter’s Youth Group, Huron, and coaching CYO Basketball. He was an avid fan of all sports. Throughout his life his determination, loyalty and humor shined brightly.

The 5K race is held the Saturday of Riverfest weekend (July 9) and begins and ends at the Huron Boat Basin. Walkers are also welcome and a Fun Run is also held for the kids. Please visit our website at www.huronriverfest5k.com for all the race details and registration information. Sign up early to be one of the 1st 150 runners and receive a free Tech running shirt. Past runners be sure to refer a friend for a chance to win a free iPod Shuffle. As Mike said, “ALS may take your muscles, but not your mind, heart, spirit and soul.” Help us with all your mind, heart, spirit and soul to fight the battle against ALS.

A “Flash Mob” broke out at the Huron Chamber of Commerce’s 6th annual “A Taste of Wine & Roses,” on Friday, June 24.The “mob” was made up of thespians from the Huron Playhouse who mixed with the capacity crowd for a time and then broke into song and dance routines that were the hit of the evening. On June 28, it was opening night for the Play-house’s 63rd season. The Chamber continued a longstanding tradition of hosting an opening night reception. Photo by Sheila ehrhardt

Huron, Ohio June 22, 2011. Late last month Huron City Council adopted Reso-lution 2011-46 which amended the city’s current contract, set to expire in December 2011, for refuse and recycling services with Fultz & Son Inc. (F.S.I.). The amendment established several important conditions, including: a five year extension fixing rates at 2011 levels through 2016 and allowing interested Huron Township residents to voluntarily subscribe to the city’s low cost, comprehensive service. The resolution is in concert with Council’s Strategic Goals 1 (sustainable community & economic development), 2 (superior quality of life), 3 (financial security and accountability), and 7 (deliberative regional partnership). A full listing of all Council goals is avail-able through the city’s website, under the strategic plan section.

City customers will pay a maximum of $55.00 per quarter, or $18.33 per month, for the remainder of the contract. This price includes refuse service for two 30 gal-

lon garbage containers, curbside recycling, yard waste/food scrap recycling and leaf removal in the fall. Residents opting for one barrel only, or not participating in the yard waste program, will pay slightly less. Bills will continue to be sent out quarterly as part of the water bill.

Participating Township customers will receive refuse service for two 30 gallon gar-bage containers, curbside recycling, yard waste/food scrap recycling and leaf remov-al in the fall for a maximum of $77.00 per quarter, or $24.00 per month. Interested Township residents are directed to the Fi-nance Department to begin receiving the service; payment will be due with an ap-plication for service.

Service costs have been frozen at current rates for the remainder of the contract. The amendment also allows either party to request modification which must be ap-proved by the Council. For example, if fuel prices or tipping fees increased dramati-cally, the amendment allows the contrac-

tor to request an increase. However, if the city determines costs are reduced because of increased participation, automation or overhead reduction it can also request rates to be lowered during the next five year period.

O v e r a l l , this amend-ment repre-sents another example of c o l l a b o r a -tion between the two com-munities in an effort to maintain su-perior service at an efficient cost. Dur-ing the next five year pe-riod the pro-gram will be

analyzed for participation volume and is expected to further reduce actual costs as participation increases. Several times over the past fifteen years FSI has reduced its fees in the city while increasing service.

FROM THE BENCH

Motor Vehicles and the Open Container Law

This article will focus on the State of Ohio’s open con-tainer law in regards to motor vehicles. This statutory law is provided under Revised Code Section 4301.62. In es-sence, it states that no person shall have in the person’s possession an open container of beer or intoxicating li-quor while operating or being a passenger in a motor ve-hicle on Ohio roadways. This section also forbids having an open container while in a stationary motor vehicle on Ohio roadways. A violation of this law is considered a mi-nor misdemeanor subject to a maximum possible fine of One Hundred and Fifty Dollars ($150.00).

Section 4301.62 does have two exceptions. One excep-tion applies to a person who is a passenger in a chauf-feured limousine and is not occupying a seat in the front compartment of the limousine where the operator of the limousine is located. The other exception to this statute applies to a situation in which someone purchases a bottle of wine at a properly authorized premise, such as a res-taurant, but the person does not finish the bottle of wine and would like to take it home. In this situation, the law requires that the bottle of wine be securely resealed by the permit holder or an employee of the permit holder before the bottle is removed from the premise. This bottle must be secured in such a manner that it would be visually ap-parent if the bottle has been subsequently opened or tam-pered with. It also requires that the bottle of wine that is resealed be stored in the trunk of the motor vehicle or if the motor vehicle does not have a trunk, behind the last upright seat in the area not normally occupied by the driv-er or passengers and not easily accessible by the driver. .

Ohio law also has a separate violation for those con-suming alcohol in a motor vehicle. This law forbids any person from consuming any beer or intoxicating liquor in a motor vehicle. Again this section does not apply if the person is a passenger of a chauffeured limousine as provided by Revised Code Section 4301.62. A violation of Section 4301.64 is more serious than a violation of the open container in a motor vehicle law. This violation is a misdemeanor of the fourth degree.

Ohio law has other restrictions in regards to having an open container in areas outside of a motor vehicle. Feel free to review Revised Code Section 4301.62 for further information.

Articles appearing in this column are intended to provide broad, general information about the law. Before applying this information to a specific legal problem, readers are urged to seek advice from an attorney.

“Smiley Automotive wins the 12U division at theAnnual Huron Splashtacular Baseball Tournament”

By Lisa yako

According to www.recycling-revolution.com, the Unit-ed States produces more trash than any other country, with each person producing 1,609 pounds per year. In other words, our country has 5% of the world’s popula-tion and generates 40% of the world’s waste. Much of what is thrown into landfills is recyclable, and recycling has never been easier, especially in Huron. Huron resi-dents have a good tract record for their recycling efforts. In 2010, Huron recycled 865 tons of paper, cardboard, glass, plastic, etc! This total does not include yard waste and food waste, which totaled 851 tons in 2010. Hu-ron residents are doing well in their recycling efforts, but there is always more than can be done.

As an avid recycler, I was surprised to learn of some of the items that Fultz and Sons (FSI) actually collects. Included in the list of items that FSI recycles are aerosol cans (like spray starch or hairspray cans), pizza boxes, aluminum foil (if it is first cleaned), and all plastics cod-ed 1-6. Since 1988, plastics have been given a resin iden-tification code which identifies the type of plastic from which an item is made. These numbers are intended to help consumers know whether and how to recycle vari-ous plastic products and packages.

Here are a few interesting statistics related to recycling, in general, taken from www.recycling-revolution.com. First, recycling one aluminum can saves enough energy to run a television for three hours. Further, there is no limit to the amount of times aluminum cans be recycled. To produce each week’s Sunday newspapers, 500,000 trees must be cut down. If all our newspaper was re-cycled, we could save about 250,000,000 trees each year. Americans use 2,500,000 plastic bottles every hour, most of which are thrown away. Every month, we throw out enough glass bottles and jars to fill a giant skyscraper, all

of which are recyclable. With free curbside pickup of your recycling, there is

really no excuse to not separate your trash items from the recyclables. If you need a recycle bin, you can obtain one, free of charge, from the Huron Finance Depart-ment. Please do recycle. It is not only a good thing to do, but it will keep many items from unnecessarily filling our landfills. Also consider pre-cycling by using cloth bags instead of plastic ones that need to be recycled, buy-ing in bulk to reduce packaging, and using cloth napkins and reusable plates and cups. Finally, do not purchase Styrofoam. It contains polystyrene, which is the most difficult material to break down in our landfill and is considered a hazardous waste. Next week, I will explore yard waste and food waste recycling in more detail.

At the Worship Service on Sunday, June 19th, 2011, Luke See receives a Prayer Blanket made with love by Tabitha and Janet and blessed by Rev Dr Karl F Fry. The St Matthew Lu-theran Church’s Prayer Shawl and Prayer Blanket Ministry began with a few ladies knitting and crochet-

ing shawls for people who are ill in our Congregation and friends and family members. We soon found we had some very talented Ladies in our group and numerous Prayer Shawls and Prayer Blankets have been pre-sented and blessed. A prayer to our Father, Son and the Holy Spirit, for

the recipient of the Shawl or Blanket is said for every stitch that is made. This important ministry at St Mat-thew’s emphasizes the gift of prayer, comfort and healing and has been appreciated by everyone who has re-ceived one.

I just love this time of year, don’t you? I mean, besides, by the time you read this the rain may have stopped and the sun may have come out, finally.

But starting on Palm Sunday through Holy Week and Easter, there seems to be one wondrous sign of hope after another.

I was privileged to officiate at three weddings in three weeks, beginning by marking my 100th marriage ceremo-ny in ministry. These couples ranged in age from 22 to 62. WOW!

Then the men of the congregation sang for their moms and souses. What a special day that was. We honored our faithful Christian Education teachers, thrilled at our con-firmation banquet which filled the Fellowship Hall; and confirmed four students after two years of study, worship, service and group-building experiences

Spring Fling rang with laughter at horse rides, games and food to wrap up our Sunday School year.

Memorial Sunday inspired us with tales of sacrifice for our freedom. Our graduates march across the stage in their robes. Pentecost wraps us in the Holy Spirit. Fathers are honored for their unique contributions to our lives.

What a season full of joyous celebration. We don’t have to look very far. And even when we get a little down in the mouth, God gives us some sign of grace to pick us up. Such a sign was lavished upon me on Palm Sunday afternoon.

Twenty-five years ago, my mother Willie Watts sent us an amaryllis plant for Christmas. It came in a box, which we unpacked, and watered the bulb.

If you have ever had one, you know that you can liter-ally watch them grow, it happens so fast. Four huge, peach and white colored blossoms appeared. Eventually, they died back to just a few gangly green leaves. I tossed the bulb into a flower box which sits on a stand in my upstairs study

Now and then, it does something, just when I see a sign of new life.

After the Palm Sunday festivities waned, I emotionally came down from the fun and walked through the church building from top to bottom. It was still a mess from all the renovation activity.

My journey ended up-stairs. There I noticed over in the corner where the flower box was pushed to get out of the way of construction work. My mom’s amaryllis plant had bloomed. Maybe forced to because it was in the dark...I know a sermon illustration when I see one.

My human eyes did not see how we could ever get back in the sanctuary for Easter, but this little sign of resur-rection opened my spiritual eyes to the possibilities, and here we are!

Thanks, Mom! Just in time for what would have been her 96th birthday. Just in time for Mother’s Day.

“Then the eyes of the disciples were opened, and they recognized Jesus… They said to one another, ‘Were not our hearts on fire as he talked with us on the road?....while he was open-ing the scriptures to us...the Lord has risen indeed.’ ” (Luke 24:31-34, excerpted and paraphrased). Amen.

Schools

As you prepare for summer picnics, reunions and cel-ebrations, think of the many products that will help earn cash for your school. There are a number of programs where your trash (yes, your trash), stuff you would just normally toss, can help your school earn cash and or points to trade for educational material or sports equip-ment. A little effort can pay off big.

Encourage your family, friends, and neighbors to help you collect!!

BOXTOPS FOR EDUCATION – This school year, The Huron PTO received over $1,800 from this program! The PTO used these funds to sponsor speakers and programs at all the Huron City Schools.The Box Top logo can be found on products in every aisle of the grocery store. Par-ticipating products include General Mills cereals, Betty Crocker baking products, Avery office supplies, Ziploc

bags, Hefty Trash bags, and many Pillsbury products. A complete list of participating product (PLUS coupons and recipes!) can be found at www.boxtopsforeducation.com. Simply clip the Box Top logoand bring into school– each one is worth .10 cents (a dime!) for your school. These dimes can really add up!

CAMPBELL LABELS FOR EDUCATION – Labels for Education points are earned by simply saving the UPC codes from participating Campbell brand products. Schools are able to accumulate points to then redeem for useful educational resources and equipment to support athletics, the arts, and academic programs.

MY COKE REWARD POINTS- Any points earned from codes found on My Coke Reward participating packages can be donated to your school. Donating code points to your school can be done in two ways – enter the codes

into your account and donate online, (The Huron PTO account is listed under Woodlands School, but will benefit all the schools) or you can collect codes and turn them into the school, where volunteers will enter them into the school account. Your point donations will go towards re-wards like Physical education equipment; art supplies and educational resources that help our students learn, play and have fun! With twelve different brands and numer-ous package sizes, points can be easily collected.

The Huron PTO will have a special collection bin set up at the Shawnee and Woodlands Open House next fall. All those who turn in their summer collection of Boxtops, la-bels, and codes at these Open house collection bins will receive a PRIZE!!

Don’t completely forget about your school over the summer
