New Doctors at NOMS in Huron We treat families and individuals of all ages, maximizing health and wellness to complement your life.

Three new doctors at NOMS in Huron are here to promote health for your family. They are Dr. Andrew Bejarano, Dr. Christopher Emery and Dr. Kari Ketvertis. They specialize in family practice, handling wellness and preventative care, acute care, pediatrics, adult medicine, women’s health, geriatric care, chronic disease management, injuries including sports injuries and dermatologic procedures.

Dr. Bejarano says, “Family practice involves everything from preventative and wellness care to keep people functioning the way they’d like to function.” His practice involves sports injuries and also chronic disease management such as high blood pressure and diabetes. Originally from Michigan, he went to medical college at Ohio University then completed his residency at Firelands Regional Medical Center before coming to NOMS Family Practice. He received his training through Richard Schuster who was formerly of NOMS Family Practice. He says that from the day they moved to the area in 2002 his family felt welcomed by the community and have enjoyed the people in the Huron area. “We are accepting new patients and getting to know those patients we have met,” he says.

Around Town Taxes Stimulus 2009: Something for nearly everyone

BY DEE HARTLEY, H&R BLOCK

95 percent of workers to benefit – but they will need to know how to take advantage of tax cuts Millions of taxpayers will take home more money from the almost $790 billion American Recovery and Reinvestment Act expected to be signed into law early this week, but most provisions won’t happen automatically. “The Recovery Act gives taxpayers money to spend, incentives to spend it and choices to spend it on,� said Dee Hartley; at H&R Block (NYSE:HRB). “There are provisions that pay you now and some that pay you later. But for most individuals, this isn’t a check-is-in-the-mail stimulus. Taxpayers will need to have guidance to maximize the benefit.�

H&R Block notes five key areas that impact individual taxpayers today and in the future: • Putting money in taxpayers’ pockets now • Helping more of those who have less • Making homeownership more affordable • Increasing access to higher education • Getting green from the garage “Taxpayers want to know how this Recovery Act affects them so they can get all the credits and deductions they’re due,â€? Hartley said. “The Tax Institute recommends consulting with a trusted tax professional to help decipher the complex changes and what they mean to each individual.â€?

Putting money in taxpayers’ pockets now The bill includes several provisions that immediately boost the wallets of workers, non-workers, the unemployed and retirees. For both 2009 and 2010, the Making Work Pay tax cut means up to $400 for individuals and $800 for couples through a reduction in income tax withholding; in other words, bigger paychecks.

Eligible workers may need to work with their employers to ensure any adjusted income tax withholding is appropriate for their situation. For example, if all working taxpayers are automatically transferred to the new reduced withholding amounts, certain taxpayers may actually owe more taxes when they file their 2009 and 2010 returns. “Knowing your tax situation is extremely important in instances like this,� said Hartley. “How and when this credit is actually going to be administered is still unclear.�

Eligible self-employed taxpayers can adjust their quarterly estimated payments.

For those taxpayers who do not receive the full amount this year, they will receive the remaining as a credit on next year’s tax return.

Dr. Gustovich is an Orthodontic Specialist with 28 Years Experience and is an Associate Professor of Orthodontics, Case Western Reserve University Treatments Include:

Increasing access to higher education More taxpayers will be able to qualify for the American Opportunity Tax Credit, which will provide a new, partly refundable $2,500 tax credit for college tuition in 2009 and 2010. By making the credit partially refundable, nearly 4 million lowincome students now will be able to qualify for the credit. This can be a better alternative for taxpayers than the two existing higher education credits.

Also, computer and computer technology costs will now qualify in 2009 and 2010 under the Section 529 Education Plans, which are tax-exempt college saving plans. Previously, eligible expenses included only tuition, room and board, and books, supplies and equipment that were required for attendance at the school.

Getting green from the garage The package allows taxpayers to deduct the state and local sales and excise taxes paid on the purchase of new cars, light trucks, recreational vehicles and motorcycles. The vehicles must be purchased from the enactment date of the Act through the end of the year.

The Act also provides a tax credit of up to $7,500 for families who purchase plug-in hybrid vehicles purchased after 2009 or plug-in conversion after date of enactment and before 2012. Even those taxpayers who don’t itemize can benefit from this.

retirees will get a one-time payment of $250. The Social Security Administration and Veterans Administration will provide the information about who qualifies for this payment, so eligible individuals won’t have to do anything. Individuals on a federal or state retirement program who don’t receive Social Security benefits can claim a $250 credit when they file their 2009 tax returns. “However, there’s no double-dipping,� said Hartley. “Taxpayers who qualify for both the Making Work Pay Credit and the $250 payment, can’t get the full amount of both benefits.� In these cases, the Making Work Pay Credit will be reduced by $250.

The Act has several benefits for the unemployed. Many will receive a $25 weekly boost to their unemployment check. In addition, the first $2,400 in benefits will be exempt from federal tax in 2009. Eligible unemployed workers paying for COBRA will benefit from a 65 percent federal subsidy for their monthly insurance premiums.

Helping more of those who have less The Recovery Act expands the Child Tax Credit, allowing families to begin qualifying for the credit with every dollar earned over $3,000. For taxpayers, this change translates into a refundable credit of up to $1,000 for each qualifying child under 17. Refundable credits give taxpayers a real boost because if the person has no tax liability, the credit is issued in the form of a refund.

This is the second year in a row the income threshold has been lowered. For 2008, it was lowered to $8,500 from $11,750.

The Act also increases the Earned Income Credit for families with three or more children, where previously EIC benefits were capped at two children. The Act would also increase the beginning point of the phaseout range for all married couples filing a joint return. That’s good news for married couples regardless of the number of children they have.

Making homeownership more affordable Taxpayers on the fence about buying their first home may want to consider the Act’s $8,000 tax credit.

Unlike the incentive passed last year, first-time homebuyers will not have to repay the credit as long as they live in the house for three years. To qualify, eligible homebuyers must make their purchase between Jan. 1, 2009, and Nov. 30, 2009.

Taxpayers who have purchased a home this year can take advantage of this credit on their 2008 return. For those who have already filed, filing an amendment is the best way to capture this full credit on their 2008 tax return.

The plan also includes tax credits for energy-efficient improvements such as qualified new furnaces, windows and doors to existing homes. The credit applies to 2009 and 2010 tax returns, with a lifetime cap of $1,500.

McCormick Science Fair: McCormick Junior High School held its annual science fair at 7:00 PM Monday, February 23, 2009. The projects presented covered the traditional areas of life science, earth science, and physical science, as well as other areas, such as the social sciences, math, and technology. Our local science fair was an opportunity for these students, who are willing to do some extra work to display their projects and possibly advance to higherlevel science fairs. Students who received superior ratings at our local fair are now eligible to take their projects to either the Mohican District Science Fair at Ashland University or the North Central Science Society Science Day at Heidelberg College.

News from St. Peter School Schedule changes for St. Peter School Students More days for the preschoolers and an earlier start and end to the school day for the Junior High are changes that are being addressed at St. Peters School for the 2009-2010 school year. “In an effort to meet the varied needs of students and parents here at St. Peters School, we are making these changes to our schedule,” reports principal Linda Smith. Many of our Junior High students take advantage of the opportunity to participate in SBC conference play through an agreement with Sandusky Central Catholic Schools. Their practices and games require us to dismiss our students early or make special arrangements for getting our students to the games. With us going on the same schedule as other Junior High students in this area, we should be able to address those problems in a better manner.” Students in the seventh and eight grades will begin school at 7:40 and end at 2:30. They will be able to ride the early bus to and from, if necessary.

The change in preschool schedule was made as a result of parent response to the annual survey that is done in the middle of the school year. Preschool parents indicated their preference for more days of school for their preschoolers. In response, the three-year olds will now attend on Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings from 8:30-11:15 while the four-year olds will attend four afternoons a week from 12:30-3:15.

Register today at last year’s rate The tuition for the 2009-2010 school year will remain the same as last year. Students in kindergarten through eighth grades are charged $1900 to attend school at St. Peter’s. There is a tuition scholarship fund available for returning families who have a need

for some assistance in meeting tuition obligations. In-house registration is being done now. On Sunday March 1, those families who are not currently enrolled at St. Peter School but want to learn more about the school may visit between 11:30am-1:00pm to meet with staff and pick up registration papers.

Mardi Gras Festivities The Junior High student hosted the annual Mardi Gras festival on Tuesday afternoon in the gymnasium. Games, raffles and treats were provided for the reveler’s entertainment. Mardi Gras was held as a last party in anticipation of the Lenten season which began the next day, Ash Wednesday.

Eighth grade student Lauren Mueller and 8th grade science teacher Brian Kucbel are in front of Lauren’s science fair project titled “Using A Laser To Measure The Speed of Light in Jello.”

Sports Tigers Struggle at Bellevue On an icy Saturday night, the Huron Tiger Men traveled south to Bellevue to face a strong NOL basketball team. It would be junior Eric Volz’s first varsity start for the Tigers. Neither team got off to an

Huron's Brian Bollenbacher sizes up his opponent before he fires another three pointer.

auspicious start as the first quarter ended with both teams tied at seven a piece. The first two minutes of the second period stayed the same way until Brandon Poorman hit for two to tie the game a 11 all.

Four minutes later, the home team had completed a 14 – 4 run to jump out to a 25 – 15 lead. At the end of the first half, Huron trailed 29 – 18.

The second half started with both teams lighting up the scoreboard. Unfortunately for the Tigers, every two point field goal Huron would get was answered by a Bellevue three pointer. After three straight Bellevue three pointers and two minutes of playing time, the Tigers were suddenly losing 38 – 22. The Bellevue defense clamped down and held the visitors to just six more points during the remainder of the third period. As the fourth quarter opened, Huron trailed 51-28. The Tigers would win the final period, outscoring the opposition, 22-16. Still, it was a Bellevue victory, 67-50.

Volz and Brandon Poorman led the Tigers with ten points each while sophomore Brian Bollenbacher chipped in with nine points. The Huron JV team was beaten by a score of 47-32.

Congrats to Lauren Volz who was selected to the All-District (District 6/Division III) Second Team and Sarah Phinney, who received Honorable Mention!!

Lauren Volz

Lady Tigers Stunned by Truckers

Huron's leading scorer, Lauren Volz, was shadowed all night by the Trucker defense. She would finish with a team leading ten points.

When you watch enough sports over the years, occasionally there are games that one just watches in stunned silence. No one seems able to explain what they just saw. Last Tuesday, in Norwalk, was one of

those nights. The Huron Tigers had been playing solid basketball going into the contest. But from the opening tip, something didn’t seem quite right.

Norwalk came out pressing and Huron playing their favorite zone defense but neither offense looked in sync. Halfway through the first quarter, Huron coach Ty Ray called his second time out only trailing 6-0. The visiting Tigers would not score their first points until the 2:39 mark when sophomore Lauren Volz hit a three pointer making the game only 6-3.

From that point forward, it was all Norwalk until there was just 3:32 left in the second quarter. By then the Truckers were ahead, 28-5. The home team was continuously able to work their offense inside for easy buckets while the Huron offense was muddled with turnovers.

Huron, at the same 3:32 mark, would embark on their only run of the evening. For a three minute period, the girls looked like the up and coming team they are. The 13 – 3 run started with a Volz FG and ended with a FG from freshman Caroline Estel at the 1:06 mark and the Tigers only down 31 – 18. Norwalk would hit two free throws before halftime to make it 33 – 18.

The Tigers would never get any closer on the night.

The visitors came out shooting cold and picking up one frustration foul after another while the Truckers continued to steadily run their offense. Norwalk would double their halftime lead by the end of the third quarter, and would continue building that lead the remainder of the game. The final score was Huron 34 Norwalk 70. Lauren Volz led the Tigers with 10 points while Devon Grendow finished with 8 points and 6 rebounds. Caroline Estel had eight points as well as chipping in with four assists and six rebounds.

✮ ✮ ✮ ✮ Sarah Phinney

The Huron Lady Tigers said goodbye to four very nice young women this past weekend at their final home game against the Clyde Flyers. The seniors, Sarah Phinney, Ashley Stacey, Jenn Semon, and Megan West, presented their parents balloons and flowers for all of their support during their long basketball careers. While they may have never seen the success they desired in wins and losses, they can be proud of the improvement they have begun in rebuilding the Huron Girls basketball program.

Their final regular season was 6 – 14, which is six more wins than last year. The young ladies can look back knowing they played hard and never displayed behavior that would embarrass their families, school, or town. Coach Ray added one nice final salute to his kids by starting all four of the seniors along with freshman Caroline Estel.

The JV game against Clyde was an exciting contest that went into overtime. At the 1:11 mark, the visiting Flyers were up by two, 38 – 40. Huron sophomore, Elizabeth Pucci, tied the game with two free throws. With :47 left, Clyde steals the ball, go the length of the floor then is fouled. They can only make one free throw, and again lead, 41-40. Things look bleak for the Tigers

on the ensuing possession when they turn the ball over and have to foul at the :31 mark. However, the Flyers miss the FT’s. With :11 left, Huron’s Kelsey Koehler is fouled. She hits both shots to give the Tigers the final victory, 42 – 41. The junior Tigers were led by Alexis Lemar (10 pts/6 steals) and Devon Koenig (11 rebounds/ 7pts).

Clyde’s varsity team is one of the best in the SBC. They came out this afternoon playing a suffocating press that gave the problems through out the first half. The Flyers were able to take control early, closing out the first period with a 24-6 advantage.

The second quarter saw little improvement and ended with the Tigers trailing, 41-18.

During the second half, the young Tigers settled down and won the third period, 17 – 9. With 2:12 left in the stanza, Huron had cut into the Clyde lead, closing within 15, forcing the Flyer coach to call time out. At the end of the period, the Tigers trailed 50 – 35. The tough Flyers opened the fourth with a 10 – 5 run that pushed the differential back up to twenty points, 60 – 40. During the last two minutes of the game, Coach Ray went with the intriguing lineup of Moberg, Grendow, Volz, Estel, and Koenig. A lineup of the future? It is hard to say for sure with some good, young talent on the junior varsity and freshman teams on the way. Clyde won the game, 64 – 44.

Everyone has their own ideal way of living out their retirement years. For Harold and Myrtle Claxton, that meant moving to Parkvue Place in Sandusky almost 3 years ago.

The Claxton’s journey to Parkvue Place has been a long and interesting one.

Married almost 66 years, they met and married in Michigan. Harold’s work required several moves for the family over the years which included Kansas City, Sandusky, Connecticut, and Huron until he retired in 1980. After their retirement, the Claxtons have traveled to every state in the United States except for North Dakota. Sometime after his retirement, the Claxtons relocated to Florida and later discovered Parkvue Place, indething he asked me to,� says Harold. In fact, the pendent living for seniors Claxtons recently agreed to appear in a comin Sandusky. “The transition to an apartment from a house mercial for Parkvue Place. The best advice was the most difficult for me,� said Myrtle. But the Claxtons have for anyone thinking about the Claxtons adjusted to the 2 bedroom, 2 bath moving to a senior apartment building from a apartment. “This is it,� she says, “we are done house is that for them this IS home, and you transitioning. This is home.� Myrtle says their have to make it home. Enjoy the activities and living conditions could not be any better. They stay active. enjoy all the activities, walking on the many paths around the building and having so many friends nearby. Myrtle especially enjoys not having to cook all their meals and shopping for all the food. They enjoy elegant Strengthening dining on the first floor with the Quality chef prepared menus. They are enjoying life and helping of life people.’ in a Home One example of enjoying life, is Harold’s ability to continue like setting with his favorite hobby – woodworking. Shortly after moving in, Harold rented additional garage space and opened his own woodworking shop. He’s been Assisted Living Community making dulcimers since the 50’s and most recently completed a project for Erie Metro Parks.

He made 6 woodpecker doorknockers for their shop. His latest project is making “cookie stools� for his grandchildren (see pictured) “I love doing things for people and I won’t take a dime for it,� said Harold.

Gardening MARY STRAYER, MASTER GARDENER

Creative Containers

Instead of purchasing new containers to hold your plants, make a trip to resale shops like Goodwill and Salvation Army, or to garage sales and take a close look at the merchandise for new options. There is usually a great selection just waiting to be claimed in these types of places.

Recycled items make the most interesting containers if you consider what you are buying and what it will be used for. Nearly anything can be filled with soil and used for a planter. For example, I have a girlfriend who gathers up work boots, and really any old boots, and plants herbs, wildflowers, and miscellaneous greens and comes up with the most delightful containers imaginable. When making the boots, remember to cut drainage holes in the bottom of the boots, and plant any holes worn in the sides or tops of the boots. My friend loves to cut holes in the toe part of the boots; then plant a vine or blooming plant in that hole.

Another one of the cutest containers I have seen is an oldfashioned child’s bike. Simply plant something trailing from the basket on the front of the bike, or maybe a Supertunia, and prop the bike up against a post in the garden, or against the mailbox.

I would recommend chaining down the bike if you put it beside the roadway as the bike is just too tempting to resist to a nearby passing thief.

Remember the old red flyer wagons that were around in the 40-60’s? That type of item would also look lovely planted and left in the garden. I think everyone has seen the old worn out wheelbarrows or even old bed frames decorated, and places in great spots in the landscape. All of this just takes a little thinking through the process, and the idea is a sure winner.

Another idea I saw one time was a mint plant planted in an old cracked tea pot, and basil or oregano in a large tomato sauce can, the type restaurants use. Would you like to make your own water garden, but don’t want to dig up the landscape to do it.

Try using and old bathtub, or even an old kitchen sink. Close off the drain hole permanently, fill first with pebbles, then but in pond plants, and watch the magic begin. Since your pond is small, do not put in full sun, but limit sunlight to 6 hours a day, preferable morning and late afternoon.

Two years ago, I tried this pond idea in a ½ whisky barrow, the type you find in outlets. The barrow was made out of Styrofoam. I put larger stones on the bottom, sat my plants on the stones, and couldn’t resist purchasing 2 goldfish locally. After the fish were acclimated to the water temp, I released them, and they were happy the rest of the summer, swimming among the plants. I put in a bit of fish food daily, but later learned that they really don’t have to be fed, but that the fish lived off the roots of the plants, and loved to eat the mosquitoes which landed on the pond. I was even blessed by two native frogs who took up resi-

dence in and around the pond as well.

Recently, I found an old broken down chair, the kind with the canning broken out, lying beside the road. I brought the chair home, wired it back together, matched the chair seat to the right size pot, and this year it will join my other relics in my landscape. I found that old bird cages work well for this too. You simply put small pebbles on the bottom of the cage; fill with soil to the possible fill line, and plant. I love the ones that come with stands, as they look lovely with vining plants trailing out of them.

As you see, as the old adage says, “one man’s trash is another man’s treasure”, and gardeners can find a tremendous amount of treasures out there one they begin to look around. It’s almost garage sale time again, so consider being creative when decorating your landscape. I have been told only poor people do this sort of thing, after all it is used junk. All I can say to them is ask if they have looked at the expensive cottage garden boutiques, or fancy garden shops, and seen the prices on some of this ‘junk’.

Have fun and happy gardening!

Keep your questions coming! Just email Mary at rmstrayer@ msn.com, and I will get back to you ASAP.

Athletic Trainer Provides Coaches Tools to ‘Fly Solo’ Dan Schultz, an athletic trainer at Fisher-Titus Medical Center, is a “flight” instructor of sorts. But instead of training pilots, he is teaching high school coaches the proper science-based strength training techniques to help their athletes.

Schultz is certified as a mentor by the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA) to teach the Fly Solo program and regularly performs Fly Solo Camps at Fisher-Titus Medical Center.

“To become a pilot, you first study the rules and regulations in the official flight manual before ever getting in the cockpit of an airplane,” Schultz said. “New pilots learn procedures to fly along side a certified pilot. New pilots only fly solo after their instructor believes they are ready. This model also applies for the NSCA Fly Solo Program for strength coaches.”

The NSCA Fly Solo Program www.nsca-lift.org is designed to help middle school and high school sports coaches improve athletic performance. NSCA Certified Professionals serve as coach advocates, helping them gain a better understanding of the strength and conditioning principles for their students and athletes.

Coaches first read an online Flight Manual then attend a Fly Solo Camp in the area. During this 8-hour hands-on camp, coaches work with the Schultz on the recommended major lifts, drills, and tests.

“Through my certification, I can teach high school sports coaches the scientific basics of lifting to make them more uniform across the board,” Schultz said. “Through the camp, I validate their knowledge.”

During the “hands-on” portion of the camp, coaches need to be prepared to answer questions and demonstrate their ability to perform and coach the major tests, lifts and drills.

After successful completion of the Fly Solo Camp, coaches earn a three-year certificate of completion with their “Wings”.

Schultz has been a certified athletic trainer for over five years and joined FTMC’s Athletic Training Program in 2007. He received his master’s degree in 2006 form Regis University and earned his bachelor’s degree in 2003 from Ashland University. He is certified by the American Heart Association as a CPR/AED instructor. In addition, he is a general assessor in body weight assessment for the Ohio High School Athletic Association and a program presenter for Ohio Department of Education’s Pupil Activity Supervisor Permit.

For information on the Fly Solo Camps, Schultz can be reached at 419-681-1591or dschultz@ftmc.com.

FTMC’s Athletic Training Services, housed in the FTMC’s Ralph & Alice Walcher Rehabilitation Center, provide athletic training services to schools within Huron County and the surrounding

Schultz is certified as a mentor for the program and helps coaches gain a better understanding of the strength and conditioning principles for their students and athletes.
