In 1872, on April 10, so the story goes, Mr. Julius Sterling Morton, a Michigan transplant to Nebraska, founded Arbor Day, ostensibly to promote wind breaks, soil retention, and increased lumber production. More than one million trees were planted that day in Nebraska. Truth to tell, though, the holiday was actually the brainchild of Sterling Morton’s wife, Carrie. Huron staged its version of Arbor Day this past Friday at two different locations. Not a million, not even a hundred, just five trees officially were tucked into holes, though doubtless, dozens of others made their way into Huron’s soil on this near-national holiday. The city’s Park’s and Recreation Department actually jumped the gun, planting the first tree on Wednesday, Earth Day, at Lakefront Park. Then on Friday morning, promptly at 10 AM, in the median of the highway behind the Donut Shop and behind the sign welcoming visitors to Huron, three crab apple trees were dedicated to the city in a ceremony presided over by Mayor Sherer, members of the Huron Bicentennial Beautification Committee, the Parks Department, and interested citizens. In a few years, at this time of year that area will be a pink blaze of glory as the trees bloom. The particular variety planted seems rather close together, but the species actually is a columnar variety and will not spread to crowd out each other. Later in the day, at 12:30 PM at the James McBride Arboretum on the campus of Firelands College, another tree planting ceremony occurred. This one featured a white oak being planted on a knoll ideally suited for its eventual spread – over ninety feet tall and at least that much across as its branches spread out from its
stout trunk. Four hundred years from now this oak will be a living testament to the day’s activities. The oak had been arranged for by the Science and Environmental Club at Firelands under the direction of Dr. Linda Cornell and was donated by Barnes Nursery. The planting and siting were arranged by Mr. Neil Leimbach of the McBride Arboretum Board. Honored at the planting with a short ceremony was Mr. Dean Sheldon, Jr., a long-time conservationist and true tree hugger. Dean’s father purchased what became known as Sheldon’s Folly back in 1954. After nurturing it for decades, Dean then turned it over to the State of Ohio in the 1980’s for preservation as a marshland and as a bird and wildlife habitat. Since then, Dean has been active in
Audubon Society activities, boy scouting, blue bird habitat promotion, and other conservation activities. It was truly a fitting day to honor his accomplishments in a setting bathed in sunshine, on the first summer-like day of the year, surrounded by trees. Looking south out over the farm land, one could feel what Mr. Sterling must have felt years later upon visiting the site of his first Arbor Day plantings. There spread the vast expanses of Ohio’s soybean and corn fields, once mighty prairies, now with a little touch of primal forest-to-be at its margin. The Chinese were right in their ancient proverb – one can tell how much one loves his grandchildren by counting the number of trees he plants. Well done, Huron.
Walleye 101 Trophy Recap
We all know what the winds were like on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday last week. Don’t tell that to the 90 plus fisherman that came to Huron for the annual spring Walleye 101 Trophy Hunt. They went out in the wind and dirty water conditions on all three days. At least it wasn’t cold and rainy commented one of the fisherman. They came from Michigan, Indiana and Pennsylvania to fish out of Huron. Saturday night, the Fishhuronohio.com committee hosted a fish fry for the group at the Huron Conservation Club on Huron Avery Road. Beradi’s supplied their famous fries. Even though Left to right: Mike Herrick of Grand Rapids, MI., Lance Valentine – the actual catch was very low due to the conditions the overall consensus Walleye 101, and Les Tharp of Holland MI. was that they will be back to Huron. Special thanks must go to Jay and Jen at J & J’s Harbor Drive Thru for all their help with this event. Watch for more events like this for Huron brought by Fishhuronohio.com.

Voir Dire If you have ever been involved in a jury trial or seen a jury trial on television, you might have come across the term “voir dire.” “Voir dire” originally evolved from the Latin term “verum dicere,” which meant an oath to tell the truth. “Voir dire” is French in origin. It BY JUDGE BILL STEUK, HURON MUNICIPAL COURT means to speak the truth. This term has had a variety of applicatons in the legal context; however, today it generally refers to the procedure in a jury trial where potential jurors are questioned about their background and feelings by the judge and the attorneys involved. The purpose of voir dire is not to pry into the personal affairs of a potential juror but to discover if the juror has any knowledge of the case, or if he or she has any preconceived opinions or biases that cannot be set aside so that the juror can render
a fair verdict. If a question posed to a juror might cause some embarrassment, the juror can be questioned confidentially, with only the judge and the attorneys present. Generally, each side in a case has a right to ask that a certain limited number of jurors be excused without giving a reason (called a peremptory challenge). Usually, each attorney is entitled to three peremptory challenges during voir dire. Each side also can make an unlimited number of challenges for good reasons (called challenges for cause). Attorneys use peremptory challenges and challenges for cause to help insure that the jurors chosen will evaluate the case as fairly as possible for their clients. I hope this gives you a better understanding of the “voir dire” process in the United State legal system. 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.

why ? Bruce Roberts tells the story of his orthopedic surgery ...
Why I Chose Firelands for Orthopedic Surgery “Last winter when I slipped on ice and broke my leg I was rushed to Firelands Regional Medical Center’s Emergency Room. Upon arrival, I was evaluated by the ER physician who found that I had a complicated fracture. The ER physician called in Dr. Kam Wong, an orthopedic surgeon on staff at the hospital, for an orthopedic consult. Because the one break in my leg was so bad, Dr. Wong had to insert a metal rod and screws to fix it. He explained that it was best to have the surgery within 24 hours, which I did. Now I’m back at work and able to get around again. Best of all, Dr. Wong said I’ll be able to snow ski next year!”
Kam M. Wong, MD is an orthopedic surgeon on the Medical Staff at Firelands. Firelands Regional Medical Center was rated Best in the Area for Overall Orthopedics by a National Independent Healthcare Ratings Company. For more information, please call Firelands Active Lifestyle Center at 419-557-7687.

Firelands Regional Medical Center Blood Gas Laboratory Receives Accreditation From College of American Pathologists Firelands Regional Medical Center Blood Gas Laboratory has been award an accreditation by the Commission on Laboratory Accreditation of the College of American Pathologists (CAP), based on the results of a recent on-site inspection. The laboratory’s director was advised of this national recognition and congratulated for the “excellence of the services being provided.” Firelands Regional Medical Center Blood Gas Laboratory is one of the more than 6,000 CAP-accredited laboratories nationwide. “The CAP program is the most respected and recognized laboratory accreditation program in the nation,” says Tina Ammanniti, Director Cardiac & Respiratory Services. “It is considered the ‘gold standard’ against which others are measured.” The CAP Laboratory Accreditation Program, begun in the early 1960s, is recognized by the federal government as being equal to or more stringent than the government’s own inspection program. During the CAP accreditation process, inspectors examine the laboratory’s records and quality control of procedures for the
preceding two years. CAP inspectors also examine the entire staff ’s qualifications, the laboratory’s equipment, facilities, safety program and record, as well as the overall management of the laboratory. The stringent inspection program is designed to specifically ensure the highest stand of care for the laboratory’s patients. The College of American Pathologists is a medical society serving nearly 16,000 physician members and the laboratory community through the world. It is the world’s largest association composed exclusively of pathologists and is widely considered the leader in laboratory quality assurance. The CAP is an advocate for high-quality and cost-effective medical care. Firelands Regional Medical Center is a 401-bed, full service, not-for-profit hospital.

‘Building Doctors’ Will Be Making Rounds in Huron May 14-15, 2009 The Old Plat Association, Huron Public Library, Cardinal House Bed & Breakfast, and the Ohio Historic Preservation Office of the Ohio Historical Society will sponsor a Building Doctor Clinic for old-building owners in the Huron, Ohio, area on May 14-15, 2009. The clinic features Building Doctors Judith L. Kitchen and Mariangela Pfister of the Ohio Historic Preservation Office. It begins with a free seminar on Thursday, May 14, from 7-9 p.m. at the Huron Public Library, 333 Williams St. , Huron. Open to all old-building owners in the area, the seminar will feature guidelines for renovation projects and ways to solve some of the most common problems of buildings dating from 1800 to 1955. On Friday, May 15, from 9 a.m.-2 p.m., Kitchen and Pfister will be available to visit pre-1955 buildings within five miles of downtown Huron, advising owners on specific technical or design problems by appointment. The on-site consultations are free. The ‘doctors’ examine all kinds of older buildings. Some of the things that typically call for an on-site examination include persistent peeling paint or flaking plaster, a wet basement, deteriorating masonry, and plans for remodeling, additions, or demolitions. Kitchen heads the Technical Preservation Services Department, which advises on the care of older buildings and reviews applications for federal and state rehabilitation tax credits. She holds degrees in architecture, architectural history and business administration from the University of Virginia and The Ohio State University and has taught American architectural history and historic preservation courses at Ohio State for many years. She has written extensively on the subject of rehabilitating old and historic buildings, including the Old-Building Owner’s Manual (Ohio Historical Society, 1983) and Caring
for Your Old House (The Preservation Press, 1991). Pfister, technical preservation services manager for the Ohio Historic Preservation Office, manages the Building Doctor program, answers questions about care of older buildings, and works with applicants for a federal Rehabilitation Investment Tax Credit and the Ohio Historic Preservation Tax Credit. She has developed a wood conservation presentation, has written articles on preservation topics, and continues to work on a series of fact sheets entitled Fast Facts on common old-building maintenance issues. Pfister holds a master’s degree in history from The Ohio State University and bachelor’s degrees in history, English, and secondary education from Capital University. The seminars and visits from the Building Doctors are free, but advance registration is required. To register, visit www.building-doctor.org or call toll free 1-800-499-2470. For more information, contact Lisa Yako of Huron, (419) 433-6233 or old.plat@gmail.com. The Building Doctor program is made possible in part by a grant from the U.S. Department of the Interior’s Historic Preservation Fund, administered by the Ohio Historic Preservation Office of the Ohio Historical Society. Each clinic is made possible by support from local cosponsors, as well. The Ohio Historic Preservation Office is Ohio’s official historic preservation agency. A part of the Ohio Historical Society, it identifies historic places in Ohio, nominates properties to the National Register of Historic Places, reviews federally-assisted projects for effects on historic, architectural, and archaeological resources in Ohio, consults on the conservation of older buildings and sites, and offers educational programs and publications.
Firelands Regional Medical Center Expands Laboratory Firelands Regional Medical Center is pleased to announce the completion of their Laboratory expansion and renovation. The project, which began early last year, nearly doubled the size of the laboratory providing additional space for all laboratory functions. In addition to the expansion, Firelands Laboratory also installed a new Automated Laboratory Specimen Processing/Handling System, the only one of this magnitude in a healthcare facility in the immediate area. The new system accepts blood and urine samples in test tubes which are placed in the handling system. The specimens, which are bar coded for positive patient identification, are centrifuged during which the cells are separated from serum. The samples are then transported to the de-capper where the caps are taken off the test tubes and then to the aliquoter, which divides specimens if testing is to be performed in more than one laboratory section. After the aliquoter, samples are then transported to the appropriate testing instrument (chemistry analyzer or immuno chemistry testing). According to Cathy Owens, Assistant Director of the Laboratory at Firelands Regional Medical Center, “Firelands Laboratory processes over 1,100 samples per day. The new automated lab is able to process as many as 300 tubes per hour, allowing laboratory personnel to work more efficiently. It also provides additional safety for the laboratory
personnel by eliminating many of the sample handling steps that could result in exposure to biological fluids.” Firelands Regional Medical Center is a 401-bed, full service, not-for-profit hospital. Serving the five-county region, Firelands provides comprehensive diagnostic, medical, surgical, emergency and rehabilitation services for people of all ages.

Are you noticing various veggies and some flowers missing…chewed off? Deer aren’t the only problem wildlife. My garden each year consists of at least 2 sets of baby bunnies and of course the adults. They scamper about usually about 2 hours before sunset around our house. I noticed that they have done their usual trim job on my shrubs this last winter. The common rabbit or eastern cottontail (Sylvilagus floridanus) can do considerable damage to flowers, vegetables, trees, and shrubs anytime of the year in places ranging from downtown city dwellers yards, to rural farmers fields. Control is necessary but please don’t think you have to exterminate every one. These cottontails are about 15-19 inches long, and range in weight between 2-4 pounds, with not much color differentiation between males and females. You can spot them by their brownish coat, with a floppy white tall bobbing along behind as they run. Rabbits love to hide in brushy fencerows, brush piles, thickets, on the edge of the farmer’s fields, and in lovely
landscaped backyards where there is food and shelter available. The sometime dig into mulch piles and have their young there, especially the very early, or first births for the spring as the mulch piles heat up quicker that just brush piles, and it keeps the youngsters quite content. They love natural habitats, such as cavities or burrows created by woodchucks are frequently used as well. Rabbits use soft grasses mixed with their own fur to line their nests, and spend most of their lives in an area of 10 acres or less. Our rabbits eat a large variety of green vegetation especially in the spring when young succulent plant material is present. In our garden, they seem to devour burning bushes. When you see gnawing on older woody growth, and clean-cut clippings of young stems, you will also see distinctive round droppings and tracks, which give them away. Last year it was my new row of “Blue Bird” rose of Sharon that they decided to shorten for me. Most of the plants will survive but you loose at least a year’s growth. According to OSU Extension Fact

Sheet #HYG1031-96 no toxicants or fumigants are registered for use against rabbits. The use of mothballs or crystals is not actually intended to repel rabbits either. Chemical repellents using the fungicide thiram may discourage rabbit browsing. Repellents should be applied before the damage is done, and after a rain, snow, or even heavy dew. Habitat control techniques provide long-term and non-lethal control. Remove dense heavy vegetative cover, brush piles from your landscape. We use fencing made from chicken wire, with the mess less than one inch, placing it around the vegetable garden during the summer. One year, a young rabbit got caught unawares in the spinach and lettuce row. I came into the garden just in time to see him run so fast towards the fence that it catapulted him over its 2 feet height. It was hysterical. Good luck with your ‘cottontails’ and Happy Gardening!

Taxes The New Sales Tax Deduction for Vehicle Purchases FROM DEE HARTLEY, ENIOR TAX ADVISOR AT H & R BLOCK.
It is easy to see the economic benefits of some parts of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. If you qualify for the first time home buyer you can amend your 2008 return or wait until you file your 2009 return and receive up to $8,000 in a refundable refund. In our area sales of new cars has been very important to our economy since New Departure came here in the late 1940’s. Now you can help save the auto industry and possibly help the bottom line on your 2009 tax return. As always, check with your tax professional before you count on that bottom line help. Here’s what IRS has to say about this one year only deduction for those who do not itemize: Taxpayers who buy a new car or several other types of motor vehicles this year may be entitled to a special tax deduction when they file their 2009 federal tax returns next year. The tax break is part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.
Here are seven things you should know about this new deduction: State and local sales taxes paid on up to $49,500 of the purchase price of qualifying vehicles are deductible. Qualified motor vehicles generally include new (not used) cars, light trucks, motor homes and motorcycles. Purchases must occur after Feb. 16, 2009, and before Jan. 1, 2010. This deduction can be taken regardless of whether or not you itemize other deductions on your tax return. Taxpayers will claim this deduction when filing their 2009 federal income tax return next year. The amount of the deduction is phased out for taxpayers whose modified adjusted gross income is between $125,000 and $135,000 for individual filers and between $250,000 and $260,000 for joint filers. The deduction may not be taken on 2008 tax returns. Consumers who are considering buying a new car may find that this tax incentive means there may have never been a better time to buy. For more information about the sales and excise tax deduction for motor vehicle purchases visit the official IRS web site at IRS.gov.

Trusted Broadway’s Best! Care for Presented by the Senior Sandusky Concert You Association Care for.
Come! Enjoy an evening with friends, Broadway’s best music, featured soloists: Nat Chandler and Carol Dusdiecker and The Toledo Symphony Orchestra. New York Times theatre critic D.J.R. Bruckner proclaimed, “Nat Chandler is a find…he displays rich comic gifts and he can use his fine operatic voice to express any emotion he wants to.” Well known to theatre and concert audiences around the country, on Broadway, he was seen in the title role of Sir Percival Blakeney in the Tony nominated musical, The Scarlet Pimpernel, and played many performances to great acclaim. Mr. Chandler has played leading roles in a broad spectrum of American musicals and operetta across the country, including A Little Night Music, Carousel, Oklahoma! South Pacific (with Howard Keel), Cinderella, Cabaret, The Most Happy Fella, Show Boat, Candide, Trouble in Tahiti, Desert Song, The Merry Widow and Kismet Carol Dusdieker, soprano, is currently pursuing her Doctorate in Music at Indiana University under the tutelage of Costanza Cuccaro. Last summer, Ms. Dusdieker made her debut with Cincinnati Opera as the First Priestess in Aida. Ms. Dusdieker has also performed sacred and secular concert works, and Pops concerts featuring the American songbook with ensembles ranging from the Cedar Rapids Symphony Orchestra, Windsor Chamber Orchestra, Heidelberg Concert Chorale, Iowa Chamber Orchestra and the Indianapolis Chamber Orchestra. The Toledo Symphony, under the current direction of Chelsea Tipton II, is celebrating 65 continuous seasons of excellence in performance. Beginning in 1943 with only a few concerts per year, the orchestra and its musicians now perform over 400 times per season for nearly half a million people. Well known conductors vie for a chance to work with the orchestra and international soloists have their agents lobby for a spot on the Toledo Symphony roster of concerts. Unique to the Toledo way is a strong commitment to taking the orchestra to the people – in churches, schools, and regional venues like universities and community concert organizations. Broadway’s Best, with the Toledo Symphony Orchestra is presented by The Sandusky Concert Association with support of the Ohio Arts Council and the Dorn Foundation. Do not miss this great performance at the Sandusky State Theatre; Friday, May 8, 2009 at 7:30 p.m. Ticket prices for the event are $30, seniors $25 and $5 for students.

To be eligible to receive a First Book grant, organizations are required to: incorporate reading as part of their program activities, serve a majority of children and families from low-

Comprised of volunteers from all sectors of the community, First Book of Huron County works to promote and facilitate the distribution
of new books to children involved in literacy programs in the Huron County area. “In order for our children to love reading and learning, they need to have access to books,” said Sondra Anderson, chairperson for First Book – Huron County’s Advisory Board. “With the help of leaders in our community, more children will receive books to take home and have as their very own.” To be considered, First Book of Huron County applicants must have grant forms completed and mailed back to First Book of Huron County no later than Tuesday, May 12. Send completed grant applications to: First Book of Huron County P.O. Box 147, Norwalk, OH 44857.

Insurance Shocking News About Lightning BY BRUCE MILLER STATE FARM® AGENT
Lightning brightens the sky and provides a spectacular display of Mother Nature’s power. This awesome phenomenon also causes more deaths and property destruction in a typical year than floods, hurricanes and tornadoes combined. Don’t underestimate the dangers of lightning The threat of lightning danger can occur anytime, but the most likely time for damaging thunderstorms is June through August. The early spring is also a vulnerable period. Scientifically speaking, lightning is the visible discharge of electrical energy. It is often accompanied by thunder–which is a sonic boom created by the same electrical discharge. This electrical energy seeks a path to ground– and that path can be your home, a tree in your yard, or even you! The key to your protection is diverting that discharge to a grounding path away from people and property. A lightning protection system has two objectives: Provide a direct path for the lightning to follow to the ground and prevent destruction, damage, injury or death as it travels that path. Many of you are likely aware of lightning rods. Contrary to typical references to these devices, lightning rods do not attract lightning. They also cannot prevent lightning from
striking your home. What they are designed to do is provide that safe path to the ground for the electrical current. Rods are just one part of an effective lightning protection system. If you’re serious about lightning protection, State Farm® recommends you have a qualified contractor evaluate your home, explain the many parts of a total system and perform the installation. While lightning’s first target may be your house, there’s also a need to protect the property inside your home from the electrical surges that accompany a lightning strike. Surge protection devices installed at the main electrical panel or meter and at outlets serving electronics can often prevent these sudden spikes in electrical current from damaging TVs, VCRs, computers and other expensive electronic devices. Personal safety first Most importantly, protect yourself. If lightning is present, seek shelter inside an enclosed building or vehicle, stay away from electrical appliances and avoid using the telephone. If you cannot find shelter, stay close to the ground in a low-lying area, avoiding isolated trees, high ground, bodies of water or large open areas. If someone is injured, administer first aid if you are qualified to do so, and call for emergency help. You cannot be “shocked” by someone who has been hit by lighting. For more information on this and other safety issues related to your home and family, please stop by my office or visit statefarm. com.
