May 1, 2009 marked the end of a 30 year career in law enforcement for Chief Randy Glovinsky. Randy always knew he wanted to be a policeman and started out at Cedar Point Police Department, moving to Huron Police Department part-time and then full-time in 1980. He has served as Police Chief since 1991. When asked about his most memorable experiences during his tenure, Randy said one of the things he is most proud of is being a part of helping to create the Erie County Drug Task Force with law enforcement officials from surrounding communities. This group of well trained detectives were very proactive in trying to rid Erie County of the many problems that result from drug traffic in the area. Chief Glovinsky was able to use the training and education he received as a member of the task force to the benefit of the police department and the citizens of Huron. There have been many changes in law enforcement over the years, not the least of which is an increase in the amount of education the officers now have. This advanced education and training are part of the reason that the department never faced a lawsuit while Randy was chief. Implementing the DARE program, Cop Cards, Bike Patrol and Marine Patrol are some of the other accomplishments he will remember. Randy says he will miss the people he worked with before deciding what to do next. as well as the citizens he served, the law enforcement community and We salute you Chief Glovinsky, for your dedicated service to the compoliticians he met over the years. He intends to enjoy the summer off munity. We join with the citizens of Huron in wishing you the best!

The Building Doctors The Building Doctors are coming to Huron, May 1415. Huron has been selected as one of seven locations for the 2009 tour of the Ohio Office of Historic Preservation’s Building Doctor Programs. On Thursday, May 14 at 7 p.m., the Building Doctors will teach old-building owners how to recognize and solve some of the most common sources of problems in maintaining older buildings and how to make informed decisions about repairs and improvements. On Friday, May 15, they will make up to 10 home/building visits to teach owners how to deal with specific problems. If you are interested in attending the seminar and/or having a visit from the Building Doctors, you must sign up for the program at www.building-doctor.org or call toll free 1-800-499-2470. This event is sponsored by the Old Plat Association, the Friends of the Huron Public Library, and the Cardinal House Bed & Breakfast.

Mystery Book Group The Huron Public Library’s Mystery Book Group will meet on Wednesday, May 20 at 7 p.m. and discuss Murder at Union Station by Margaret Truman. In this month’s mystery, writer Richard Marienthal is eagerly anticipating his publishing debut, an organized crime exposé that owes much to Louis Russo, a former hit man turned government informant. But when murder enters the picture, Richard must decide whether or not to pull the plug on his book. Call the library at 419-433-5009 for more details. Thursday Night Theatre The Huron Public Library’s Thursday Night Theatre will be on Thursday, May 21 at 6 p.m. In this month’s free comedy movie, we find Paul Blart is a mild-mannered, dutiful father who works as a security guard in a New Jersey mall. He has always wanted to be a cop but has remained stuck in his current job. One day when a gang of organized criminals

place the mall under siege and take hostages, Paul remains inside and tries to thwart the group with hilarious results. Children age seven years old or younger must be accompanied by a caregiver who is at least 12 years old. This movie has been rated PG by the MPAA and will run 87 minutes. Refreshments will be available for a nominal fee from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. If you have recently become a new parent, the Huron Public Library congratulates you on the arrival of your child and extends an invitation to visit the library to pick up your New Baby packet.

Gardening Evening Fragrance Recently while thinking about the hope of evenings with friends on the patio, I decided to research what types of plants would be MARY STRAYER, MASTER GARDENER great to have around the patio, simply to enjoy their fragrance. We know that white plants show up best at night, and are best planted near lights to again help brighten the evening, but the problem was finding the right type of plant to put near those lights and to have near our seating areas. The following annuals are available locally as seeds or on the Internet in catalog form as plants. First, consider moonflowers, Ipomoea Alba, which come in bush form as well as vines, and both are planted from seeds. The vine grows to 15 feet tall, with large 6” morn-

ing glory-like blooms in the purest white. Occasionally these can be found as seedlings, so check around locally. Tuberoses or Polianthes tuberosa are bulbs with a truly fragrant scent. Plant in containers or in the nearby garden about 3” deep, and dig up the bulbs in the fall for storage before the first heavy frost. The flowers remind me of double white gladiolus. Nicotiana or Nicotiana alata’ is a tall annual which grows to 5’ tall, and tubular flowers that smell like a cross between jasmine and freesia. Datura is a tender perennial, which means it is hardy in Zone 6. The trumpets are the purest of white, and the blooms reach 8” across. The plant is very thirsty, requiring 1 gallon of water a day in a 16” pot. It starts blooming in mid June, and can be taken inside for the winter in a cool room to hold un-

til next spring. My experience with the plant is great, and the growth in one year had the plant having 42 trumpet flowers at one time. It’s a great show piece, good on a patio, and a great attention getter. The plant grew to 5’ tall and 6’ wide in one season. We have one perennial here in U.S. Zone 5, and that is the wisteria floribunda. It is a hard plant to get started, usually blooming in 3-5 years, but once started you will love the long purple/white clusters of flowers. It would be wise to get one that is already in bloom when you purchase it. Plant it alongside the edge of a patio for best exposure. Lastly, each year my husband and I plant Four o’clocks, Mirabilis Jalapa, near the patio as well. It has multicolored blooms, and they open around 4PM each day. They love full sun but can survive partial shade. There is a lemon scent that is pleasing in the evening. It’s time now to design your patio, so have fun with scents this summer. Happy Gardening.

Gutter Topper® ends gutter cleaning forever Tired of cleaning your gutters? Afraid of getting up on the roof? Protect yourself from injury and save a ton of work and worry...let Gutter Topper® put an end to clogged gutters ... FOREVER! Owner Mike Shanks gets a lot of smiles from satisfied customers because he has just installed Gutter Topper®, the simple solution to gutter pollution. The Gutter Cover Company will install Gutter Topper® over your existing gutters and you’ll never be on a ladder again-at least not to clean out your clogged gutters. Gutter Topper® has an exclusive, patented clip-on system that will attach to your gutters without unsightly hangers or brackets. After installing Gutter Topper® water will flow into your gutters with

leaves and other debris falling to the ground with no chance of clogging your gutters EVER AGAIN! “Best of all, Gutter Topper® carries a lifetime, transferable, performance warranty on the finish,” according to owner Mike Shanks. In addition, it is the only gutter protection that has been independently tested to resist 110 mph hurricane force winds, will take 22 inches of rain per hour and has a weight resistance of 1,200 pounds per square foot. This is very important when ice and snow buildup in the gutter during the winter. Both are the biggest enemy a gutter can have over the years and is often unseen until it’s too late. By then the damage is already done and can be extremely costly to repair. In case you didn’t know, most homeowner’s

insurance doesn’t cover damage caused by clogged gutters. Gutter Topper® is manufactured in Batavia, Ohio by a family-owned company that has the highest quality standards. People are often unaware of the danger of being on a ladder. Last year there were over 175,000 falls from ladders and with over 300 deaths. “Those that survived spent an average of $2,500 in medical costs, prescription drugs and therapy - more than many people spend on gutter protection systems,” reports Mike.
