The English Invade Huron BY CONNIE ROBERTS Hundreds of English Cocker Spaniels came to Huron last weekend as Sawmill Creek Resort hosted the breed’s 2009 National Specialty Meet. This meet rotates yearly to locations from coast to coast and brings together the top show and field prospects from around the country. This year, there were both dogs and breeders from around the world. We met breeders from Hawaii, Oklahoma, England

and Australia, just to name a few. It takes very little time to see why the breed is so popular with its limited U.S. following. These dogs are friendly and affectionate with tails that stop wagging only to eat. Spend a little time at an English Cocker meet and you get the impression there is something special here. This group is very loyal and protective of their breed and they maintain very high breeding standards as well as limiting yearly litters. “We are one big family” said Terri Burrows, English Cocker Spaniel Club President. Worldwide, the English Cocker is the breed referred to as the Cocker Spaniel. In the United States, it is the opposite as the American Cocker holds this distinction, and its cousin is almost unknown. The American Kennel Club granted a separate breed designation for the English Cocker Spaniel in 1946. Visiting the meet twice over the weekend, we heard numerous times how the group enjoyed Ohio and specifically the Sawmill facility and staff. “beautiful”, “over
the top”, and “very accommodating” were just a few words and statements we heard. Someone even asked if everyone in Ohio was this friendly. Great job Sawmill! By the way, if this article sounds somewhat biased, it could be because I’m also the proud owner of an English Cocker named Juice.
“Anything Goes” with Huron High School Vocal Music Department McCormick Auditorium was the place to be last weekend as Huron High School students presented “Anything Goes”. It’s an age old story of boy-meetsgirl aboard an ocean liner traveling from New York to London wrapped around the much loved music of Cole Porter. A standing ovation to the Huron High School Vocal Music Department and the entire cast and crew!

Around Town ARTirondack Off & Painting The Huron Bicentennial ARTirondack project is off to a great start! The Amish built Adirondack chairs were delivered to the Huron Chamber of Commerce on Thursday, April 9, 2009. Artists were then able to pick up their chairs along with primer donated by the Glidden Company. Local businesses and families have sponsored the chairs and will be able to select which local charitable organization will receive the proceeds from the grand Auction held on August 11 in the Nia Center at Kalahari. “This public art project is a great way for our local businesses, community members and artists to support many different local charitable organizations.” stated Julie Foster.

The Huron community has had a long-standing and strong association with the Boy Scouts of America program. Numerous boys from Huron have attained Scouting’s highest honor, the rank of Eagle Scout, from former Troops 12 and 86, and from Boy Scout Troop 31 which has been providing Scouting opportunities for 69 continuous years. Next year, 2010, marks the 100th anniversary of the Scouting movement within the United States. Special events and celebrations are being planned across the country to mark the occasion. A gathering of all Eagle Scouts is being planned for those currently residing in Huron and those who attained their Eagle Scout rank from a Huron based troop but not presently living in Huron. Contact information is needed for the planning committee. If you are an Eagle Scout living in Huron (regardless of where you attained your Eagle award), or if you have contact information regarding those who earned their Eagle from a Huron based troop but not presently residing in Huron, please contact either Richard Haase (419-433-4893) or Chuck Bille (419-433-2327).

Milestones OBITUARIES Audrey (Curtis) Mackiewicz, Aug. 23, 1924 - May 1, 2009 Audrey Curtis Mackiewicz, 84, of Huron, passed away Friday, May 1, 2009, in Firelands Regional Medical Center following a brief illness. She was born August 23, 1924, in Sandusky, and graduated from Sandusky High School in 1942. In 1944 Audrey enlisted in the U.S. Coast Guard SPARS where she met her husband of 60 years, William “MAC” Mackiewicz. Audrey was extremely dedicated to her home town area. She was a Girl Scout leader for 12 years, formed the youth group at Christ Episcopal Church and made sure everyone understood the history of Huron by being a key player in the Sesquicentennial historical production.
She was hired at the Sandusky Register as a proof reader and worked her way up to become the state editor until 1972 when she helped start the Firelands Farmer, an agricultural newspaper. She later returned to the Register as special features editor until her retirement in 1982. Pioneering for working women, she became the first woman, and then later president, of the National Association of Farm Editors. In 1998 she was inducted into the Ohio Women’s Hall of Fame. Being a veterans advocate for more than 25 years, she was the first female member of the Board of Trustees of Ohio Veterans Home and was named a member of the Ohio Veterans Hall of Fame in 1995. Audrey was a lifetime member of Huron AMVETS Post 49 and a member of Berlin Heights American Legion Post 659. She was also a charter member of the Women’s Memorial and WWII Veteran’s Memorial in Washington, D.C. Audrey is survived by her daughter, Cathy Keelan of Tra-
Rev. Roger’s Reflections So, when have you ever had a dream actually come true? Susan Boyle had a dream. A Scottish lass, 48 years old — never been kissed — frumpy and homely, Susan held onto her dream. She wanted to be a singer, and took lessons for a while; worked in the little village of West Lothion ; and recorded a charity version of the blues standard “Cry Me a River” to raise money for tiny Whithburn Community Council. Only 1,000 copies were pressed and I bet REV. ROGER they’re all for sale on E-Bay today. SKELLEY-WATTS A heart breaker of a song about unrequited love... Now you say you’re lonely. You cried the long night through. Well, you can cry me a river. Cry me a river. I’ve cried a river over you. ...sang Susan Boyle ten years ago. She had been devoted full time to caring for her Mom, who lately passed away. So unemployed Susan decided to revive her dream, which eventually led to a tryout for the TV show “ Britain ’s Got Talent,” the English version of “American Idol,” and judged by the same hyper-critical Simon Cowell. When dowdy Susan stepped onto the stage, clad in her Sunday-best, but very beige dress, an old-fashioned hairdo obviously done by herself at home, little, if any, makeup, the audience was stunned. Then, they began to snicker and outright laugh at the ugly duckling standing helplessly before them. Simon tried to hold back a smirk. But then the music began and she began to sing...like an angel…a most depressing, tear-jerking song from Les Miserables entitled “I Dreamed a Dream.” Her emotional life of broken dreams came pouring out... I dreamed a dream in time gone by When hope was high and life worth living. I dreamed that love would never die, I dreamed that God would be forgiving… I had a dream my life would be So different from this hell I’m living,
verse City, Mich.; her son, Curt (Mary) Mackiewicz of Huron; three grandsons, Mark Doinidis of Cape Coral, Fla., Eli Mackiewicz of Bellingham, Wash., and Kyle Mackiewicz of San Francisco; and many relatives and friends. Audrey was preceded in death by her husband, William “Mac” Mackiewicz; her parents, Clarence and Norma Curtis; her brother, Donald Curtis; and numerous aunts, uncles and cousins.

still they were inside the house, hunkered down, but this time Thomas was there. Although the doors were shut, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.” Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here and see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it in my side. Do not doubt — but believe.” But Thomas did not have to go that far. Immediately he shouted “My Lord, and my God!” Jesus doesn’t take time for congratulating Thomas on seeing the obvious — and believing. Jesus looked straight at you and me and said across time and space, “Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have come to believe.” said the Lord to us. God bless your dreams..
So different now from what it seemed Now life has killed the dream I dreamed. ...Susan Boyle sang. As the TV director kept his camera tight on the face of Simon, whose eyes grew wider and his jaw dropped, he slowly broke out into a grin from ear to ear, not believing what they were hearing. The other judges seemed to blink back tears. The crowd was stunned again into silence, then brought to their feet for a standing ovation! The judges gave her unprecedented accolades. Afterwards, Oprah Winfrey called for an interview. The original singer of the song said Susan had “pluck.” Susan is making the round of talk shows, saying, “Modern society is too quick to judge people on their appearances. There is not much you can do about it; it is the way they think; it is the way they are. But maybe this could teach them a lesson, or set an example.” Amen, Susan Boyle!

Jesus’ disciples were having doubts about God’s dreams for them — weren’t they? Christ had been crucified, dead and buried. The women had discovered his tomb empty, were told by an angel that he had been risen from the dead. The disciples knew the information, most of them had even seen Jesus alive. Yet one of them was not there. Thomas missed the main event, so he was not going to place his life on the line on the basis of hearsay — even from his best friends.

Gardening weeks late. Our wisteria vine did this as well, and it should be blooming shortly, but instead it is just pushing out the first sign of green. All plants need the right growing temperatures, and when nature changes things, sometimes they really suffer. We planted 6 new apple trees this year, and remembered to plant a plastic tile horizontally beside each tree. This way we could water right to the root of the tree without wasting so much water with run off, and hoping that the water went to the roots of the tree where it was needed the most. Remember this tip when planting trees in the future. You may remove the tile in 2-3 years, and feel certain the
Plant & Tree Care MARY STRAYER, MASTER GARDENER
Many questions have come to me about young newly planted trees leaves yellowing and falling off. First of all the most common reason for yellowing leaves on a young newly planted tree is excess heat, then excess water, and perhaps late frosts. If your gardens are stressed now, this could be the problem. Many of the trees tried to bud out way early this spring, and now, are coming back about 3
roots of the tree are established enough to continue on. As you see, the all plants simply need enough time for their roots to establish themselves before the weather changes. The natural reaction of the tree is to drop some of its foliage. The only thing that you can do is to make sure the young plants have enough soil moisture at the right times. Every year is different; this year the apricots set on the tree, but the raspberries are slower in coming. This is why gardening is such an adventure. Have fun with it, and go with the flow. If you have questions about gardening, email Mary at rmstrayer@msn.com, or call them into the Huron Home Town News.

Health & Wellness Parkvue Health Care Center Rehab Reunion On April 16, 2009, Parkvue Health Care Center hosted its first annual Fast Track Rehab Reunion in the multi-purpose room with great success. Many graduates returned to visit with the Parkvue staff who they entrusted with their therapeutic recovery while at the facility. Amy Mathews, LPTA and Connie Hill, COTA were excited to see all of their former therapy patients. There was lots of conversation, laughs and reminiscing. They were especially proud to see the progress each person had continued to maintain. Sharon Dircks, Director of Nursing, commented “It does our hearts good to know they are all doing so well after leaving Parkvue.” Amy
DiFilippo, Recreation Coordinator, said she was proud of all the former fast track patients that they are all doing so well at home. Many hugs and smiles were shared as everyone mingled and enjoyed the party atmosphere. Former resident Mary Fear said she misses the Parkvue staff and being involved in activities. Family members that attended expressed their appreciation for Parkvue and the great job the staff had accomplished with former patients. Current patients of the Fast Track Rehab Unit also attended the celebration. They enjoyed listening to the casual talk and left inspired by the accomplishments shared by the attendees. An added bonus for the fast track rehab patients is the ever lasting friendship that develops during their stay. It is not uncommon for a person that returned home to call Parkvue to chat with staff, other residents, or
check on the facility pets! One fast rehab graduate continues to come and play bingo at Parkvue periodically. Fast Track Rehab at Parkvue is a highly focused approach to reduce pain, build strength and flexibility, and helping patients get beck to the life they want as soon as possible. Fast Track Rehab is different than other rehab facilities, featuring comfortable home like rooms which include phone, cable, flat screen TV with DVD player, wireless internet, and excellent recreational activities. “What makes Fast Track unique is our flexible structure,” said Amy Mathews, LPTA, Rehabilitation Coordinator. “We give our patients the confidence each day to make progress, but always with sensitivity to their overall health.”
Mow the Lawn, Not Your Foot! The thousands of lawnmower-related foot injuries every year can be prevented DR. MARTIN LESNAK, DPM, FACFAS Springtime is here and a local foot surgeon cautions weekend gardeners that their yards could become “toe-away” zones if they’re not careful when operating rotaryblade lawn mowers. Each year, some 25,000 Americans sustain injuries from power mowers, according to the U.S. Consumer Products Safety Commission.
Combining dignity & affordability. We offer our most popular caskets together with our uncompromised service. That means we can create the memorial you had in mind, for much less than you would have expected -just one of the many ways you’ll be pleasantly surprised. Groff Funeral Homes now offer funeral and cremation services at our new Huron Chapel which is located at the entrance of Meadow Green Memorial park.
“Although the number of accidents has steadily declined since the 1982 adoption of federal safety standards, we still see too many foot injuries from power lawnmowers,” says Martin Lesnak, DPM, FACFAS, a member of the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons (ACFAS). “The blades whirl at 3,000 revolutions per minute and produce three times the kinetic energy of a .357 handgun. Yet we see patients who have been hurt while operating a mower barefoot! Foot injuries range from dirty, infection-prone lacerations to severed tendons to amputated toes.” If a mower accident occurs – even just a minor injury – Lesnak says immediate treatment is necessary to flush the wound thoroughly and apply antibiotics to prevent infection. Superficial wounds can be treated on an outpatient basis, but more serious injuries usually require surgical intervention to repair tendon damage, deep clean the wound, and suture it. Tendons severed in lawnmower accidents generally can be re-attached surgically unless toes have been amputated.
Lesnak says children under the age of 14 and adults over age 44 are more likely to be injured from mowers than others. He says anyone who operates a power mower should follow a few simple precautions: Don’t mow a wet lawn. Losing control from slipping on rain-soaked grass is the leading cause of foot injuries caused by power mowers. Wear heavy shoes or work boots when mowing – no sneakers or sandals. Mow slowly across slopes, never go up and down. Never pull a running mower backward. Keep the clip bag attached when operating a power mower to prevent projectile injuries. Use a mower with a release mechanism on the handle that automatically shuts it off when the hands let go. Always keep children away from the lawn when mowing it. For further information about foot and ankle problems, contact Lesnak’s office at 419-433-4800, or visit the ACFAS consumer Web site, FootPhysicians.com.
