Dear Friends of the Huron Library:For those who don’t know me, I am Nancy Smith. Now

retired, I am a volunteer at the library. At the last Friends of the Huron Library meeting, I was selected as the new president. I am honored to have the opportunity to serve as president for the “Friends”. This organization, started in 1990, is but a small piece of the fi nancial outlook on the li-brary; however, I hope to build on the successes of the past presidents, Mary Helen Kay and Marian Hancy, and move the organization to a place where some of the fi nancial shortfalls of the state’s budgetary cutbacks on the library can be offset by its citizens and library patrons.

I know this organization can’t do this alone. It will take direction from the Library Director, the Library Board, and the staff of the library. Furthermore, the organization

can only be strong with the help, co-operation, and sup-port of its members.

I feel that it is important that the “Friends” increase its membership rolls to help keep this library, which is a valu-able resource, viable. Personally, I would like to see each and every family in Huron represented by at least one member. For less than 3 cents a day, this can be a real-ity. What else can you buy for 3 cents a day? Not a cup of coffee; not a candy bar; not a soft drink; in fact, there is not much that can be purchased for 3 cents a day except a Friends membership which helps the library with funds to pay for activities, books, magazines, DVDs, and more.

I look forward to meeting every member, new and old, in the coming months. With your help, we can make the Friends of the Huron Library group strong, and with strength, comes fi nancial stability for our library.

Sincerely yours,Nancy Smith

FROM JUDGE WILLIAM STEUK

The Huron Municipal Court has revised its security procedures while court is in session. During this time, the Williams Street door will be locked and visitors will only be al-lowed to use the door facing Main Street, which is the Municipal Build-ing’s main entrance. Upon entering this door, a security offi cer will be checking each individual by a metal detector to determine if there are any forbidden items on their person or in their belongings. The security offi cer will be checking all bags including purses for any such items. All visitors to the Municipal Court dur-ing court hours may not bring wireless communication devices (including, without limitation, cellular phones, laptop or notebook computers, ipods, etc.) or weapons of any kind. All visitors are asked to leave those items in their car or home. These new security measures are similar to measures used by other courts and are implemented to help insure the safety of all visitors. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and do sincerely appreciate your understanding.

FROM DEE HARTLEY, ENROLLED AGENTAND SENIOR TAX ADVISOR AT H & R BLOCK.

This week I would like to talk to you about your Charitable Contributions. To take the deduction for contribu-tions to charities on your Schedule A you must have a receipt from the orga-nization and or a canceled check. You can no longer take a deduction for a cash contribution unless you have a receipt from the church or char-ity. If you are giving cash at church you need to use your envelopes and request your giving report before you complete your tax return.

IRS says “For any contribution of $250 or more you must obtain and keep in your records a contemporaneous writ-ten acknowledgment from the qualifi ed organization con-taining the name of the organization, the date of the con-tribution, and the amount of the contribution.”

Now let’s look at those receipts. Read them carefully. If

you can not fi nd in writing a statement that they are a 501(c) 3 qualifi ed organization, your contribution is prob-ably not deductible. To check further you can go to www.irs.gov and put Pub 78 in the search box. This will get you to a search page where you can enter the name of the orga-nization. If it is not in this IRS Publication it isn’t deduct-ible.

Searching for Huron, Ohio will get you the names of 32 Huron organizations including the newest Huron Com-munity Services (Dial A Drive) and our own Huron Play-house.

This is not to say that collections from other groups are not worthy of your money. It takes money and a lot of ded-icated time to get an organization to the 501(c ) 3 status. Churches and Schools are generally qualifi ed organizations and some groups are allowed to shelter under their status.

I have already seen some receipts that do a lot of talking about being registered and protecting your money. Read-ing all of the receipt and checking the Publication 78 puts their deductibility in the trash can.

If you have a question or a topic you would like to see covered here, please email me at [email protected].

REVEREND ROGER’S REFLECTIONS

REV. ROGER SKELLEY-WATTS,PASTOR HURON UNITED METHODIST CHURCH

A cowboy named Stuart Hamblen went on a hunting trip one day, in the High Sierra Moun-tains. He came upon an old dilapi-dated prospector’s cabin. Inside Stu-art found the old prospector, who had unfortunately not long before passed away from a heart attack.

The man’s hungry, bony, grey-whis-kered hound dog lay outside on the front stoop, whining for his master. Stuart gave the prospector a dignifi ed burial, closed up the cabin; fed and adopted the dog. In the process of straightening up, Stuart found a sheet of butcher paper and a pencil. In about thirty minutes, he wrote out the words and sang the beginnings of a melody to a song which has been recorded numerous times since 1954:

“This old house once knew my children. This old house once knew my wife. This old house was home and shelter as we fought the storms of life. This old house once rang with laughter. This old house heard many shouts. Now she trembles in the darkness when the lightning walks about.

“This old house is getting shaky. This old house is getting old. This old house lets in the rain and this old house lets in the cold. On my knees I’m getting chilly. But I feel no fear or pain. ‘Cause I see an angel peeking through a broken window pane.

“Now the old hound dog lies asleeping. He don’t know I’m gonna leave. Else he’d wake up by the fi replace. And he’d sit there, howl and grieve. But my hunting days are over. I ain’t gonna hunt the ‘coon no more. Gabriel done brought in chariot When the wind blew down the door.

(CHORUS) “Ain’t gonna need this house no longer. Ain’t gonna need this house no more. Ain’t got time to fi x the shingles. Ain’t got time to fi x the fl oor. Ain’t got time to oil the hinges Nor to mend the window pane. Ain’t gonna need this house no longer. I’m getting ready to meet the saints.”

But, of course, the song is only superfi cially about a house. It is really about the foundation of our lives, and how well we see to its’ construction and upkeep.

That’s also what the Apostle Paul was writing about in his fi rst letter to the Corinthian church chapter 3, and to the Huronites as well: “According to the grace of God given to me, like a skilled Master builder I laid a foundation, and someone else is building on it. Each builder must choose with care how to build on it. For no one can lay any foun-dation other than the one that has been laid; that founda-tion is Jesus Christ.”

Have you ever built a house or re-modeled with your spouse or signifi cant other? How did that go for you? Working together under stress exposes the infrastructure of our relationships. If we haven’t paid attention to keep-ing the wiring of communications up to code, it frays and sparks and can start a fi re big enough to bring down the whole place.

Paul’s scripture wraps up with… “Do you not know that you are God’s temple and that God’s spirit dwells in you?... For God’s temple is holy, and you are that temple.”

Cowboy Stuart Hamblen was the son of an itinerant preacher man from Texas. But he rebelled against his par-ents’ faith. Joined the rodeo circuit, became a singer of Western ballads. Radio stations began to ask him for guest appearances. In 1928 he recorded some songs for the Vic-tor Talking Machine Company, which led to auditions for the fl edgling movie industry.

Stuart was often cast as a “heavy” in those early talking pictures, opposite the “good guys” in the white hats like Roy Rogers and Gene Autry. But then he began to live out those make-believe roles in real life – losing his money at the horse-racing track, drinking, getting into bar-room brawls and landing in jail.

Then in 1933 he married beautiful Suzie who prayed long hours for him and for many years for him to re-build the foundation of his faith upon Jesus Christ. In 1949 evange-list Billy Graham was conducting a crusade in Los Angeles. Under that enormous canvas cathedral tent, among those who came forward to make a commitment was one Stu-art Hamblen. He stopped drinking. He re-named his radio show “the Cowboy Church of the Air.”

Soon after his conversion, he happened to run into old friend John Wayne on the street, who asked, “What’s this I hear about you, Stuart?”

“Well, John, I guess it’s no secret what God can do!” Stu-art said.

Wayne replied, “Sounds like a song you better hurry up and write down, pilgrim.” Which Stuart Hamblen did:

“The chimes of time ring out the news, Another day is through. Someone slipped and fell. Was that someone you?

You may have longed for added strength, Your courage to renew. Do not be disheartened, For I have news for you.

“There is no night for in His light You never walk alone. Always feel at home, Wherever you go. There is no power can conquer you While God is on your side. Take Him at His promise, Don’t run away and hide.

“It is no secret what God can do. What He’s done for oth-ers, He’ll do for you. With arms wide open, He’ll pardon you. It’s no secret what God can do.”

Firelands Physician Group was recently nationally recog-nized because of superior operational performance com-pared with similar medical group practices nationwide. Specifi c areas for which Firelands Physician Group was recognized included, accounts receivable and collections, and patient satisfaction. The recognition as a “better per-former” was based on the Medical Group Management Association (MGMA) Performance and Practices of Suc-cessful Medical Groups: 2010 Report Based on 2009 Data.

For over 20 years, Firelands Physician Group has been providing primary care and specialty care services to the surrounding region. “This recognition demonstrates the extraordinary care and outstanding practice management delivered by our physicians and staff,” says Janis Shriver,

Executive Director of Firelands Physician Group. “High patient satisfaction along with comprehensive medical services allows Firelands Physician Group to provide the community with the highest-quality healthcare services.”

The MGMA report, a benchmarking standard among medical groups for over a decade, was produced using data from respondents to the MGMA Cost Survey: 2010 Reports Based on 2009 Data as well as data from a ques-tionnaire that assessed management behaviors, practices and procedures of better performers. The report profi les medical practices that have demonstrated success in one or more areas: profi tability and cost management; productiv-ity, capacity and staffi ng; accounts receivable and collec-tions; patient satisfaction; and managed care operations.

Huron, Ohio – Larry Smith, professor emeritus of English at Bowling Green State University, is poised to release his newest addition to a growing collection of books on his hometown.

Mingo Junction available through Arca-dia Publishing in their Images of America Series, provides a rich photographic his-tory of this working-class town in the up-per Ohio River Valley where Smith was born and raised. The book is co-authored by his longtime friend and fellow graduate of Mingo Central High School Guy Mason.

Featuring more than 200 vintage images and memories, the book traces the town’s history back to the Mingo Indians and transports the readers through its early days as a coal mining town and eventually a regional leader in the steel industry. The Ohio city was also a location for the fi lming of 1978’s award-winning movie The Deer Hunter.

The town’s deep character is etched in its work, social, cultural, and natural land-scapes. This is displayed in its schools, churches, businesses and industry, daily life, active social organizations, and its no-table historic fi gures. “Authoring the book was a job I couldn’t refuse,” Smith stated, “a

way to honor my hometown.”Smith’s experiences as a steel worker in

Mingo Junction in the 60s supplied him with a unique and fi rst-hand knowledge of the area and community. Now retired, he also claims former careers as a high school teacher and college professor. He is currently director of the Writing Center at BGSU Firelands, and editor-in-chief of Bottom Dog Press, Inc., Huron, Ohio.

A graduate of Kent State University, Smith is the author of eight books of poetry, a book of memoirs, four books of fi ction, two liter-ary biographies, a life biography, and two books of translations from the Chinese. His two others books featuring Mingo Junction are Milldust and Roses: Memoirs and The Long River Home: A Novel.

Smith is the father of three adult children, and is married to Ann Smith, also a native of Mingo Junction, a professor emerita of Nursing at the Medical College of Ohio.

Mingo Junction is available beginning February 21 at area bookstores, inde-pendent retailers, and online retailers, or through Arcadia Publishing at www.arca-diapublishing.com or (888)-313-2665. A portion of the sales of the book will be do-nated to the Mingo Senior Citizen Center.

February is Children’s Dental Health Month, and there are several questions parents could be wondering about when it comes to your child’s teeth. Is dental care for my child really necessary? How can I care for my young child’s teeth? What’s the best way I can prepare my child for their fi rst trip to the dentist?

The fi rst thing you may wonder about when considering taking your child to the dentist is if it really needed? A common comment I hear among parents is that babies’ teeth aren’t that important and that they will eventually fall out, why should we care about them at all? I have yet to encounter a parent that would let a cut or wound go without some ba-sic fi rst aid: a little antiseptic, band-aid and tender loving care. Few parents would simply allow a cut to go uncared for, especially on their child’s face. But a similar situation is happening when a cavity is left unfi lled in a child’s mouth. Bacteria infect their small teeth and the end result can be facial swelling, pain, and lots of tears. Just giving those teeth a little preventative attention can keep both you and your child out of the ER late at night.

The best way to care for your children’s teeth is to start early. Babies need their gums rubbed with a wet washcloth twice daily, which is even more important as they start cut-ting their fi rst teeth. Sleeping with milk bottles is discour-aged, as this leads to early baby bottle tooth decay. Toddlers may need some incentive for dental care, so consider elec-tric kids’ toothbrushes with fun colors or songs, and always help them and encourage them to brush their teeth. Col-orful disposable fl ossers keep tiny tots from having cavi-ties between teeth, especially between their top front teeth and back teeth. Children who can spit may use a pea-sized amount of toothpaste when they brush. Older children can use a disclosing agent which turns plaque blue or pink to help them make sure they are getting their teeth clean.

A child’s fi rst visit to the dentist should occur around two years of age, unless there are earlier signs of tooth de-cay. The goal is to create a low-stress environment to al-low small children to get used to bi-annual checkups. A cleaning and brief exam will take place, with x-rays taken at a subsequent appointment. Parents may hold their child on their lap during this process, or a quick “knee-to-knee” examination may occur. Another way to prepare them is by reading to them. A couple of great children’s books that may help prepare your child for the dentist are Barney Goes to the Dentist by Linda Cress Dowdy and My Little Friend Goes to the Dentist by Evelyn M. Finnegan.

By promoting early dental care for your children you es-tablish healthy habits. Regular dental appointments will ensure your little one a healthy smile for a lifetime.

Just as all coaches like to see, the Tigers seem to be build-ing momentum as the season comes to a close. No longer is the team reliant solely on the back of Brian Bollenbacher. Others are stepping up big when called upon. Don’t get me wrong, Huron will not go anywhere in the tournament unless Bo plays well, but one can really see the develop-ment of some of the younger players like Cody Thomp-son and Aaron Casey. Huron has one more game, next Fri-day at home against the SBC champion Edi-son Chargers (Senior Night). That could be a good yardstick for the young-sters to mea-sure themselves against follow-ing a full year of development.

James and his veteran coach-ing staff have created a team that hustles, is quick and op-portunistic on defense, and can run a break like almost no one else in the league. This is a team that needs to run and has the athletic ability to do it. They still struggle with turnovers, a defi nite sign of a young team, but one hopes they will grow out of that. When slowed down by a solid, ball control offense with an inside presence, they struggle. But as their bodies mature, that defense should improve as well.

On Friday night, the Tigers travelled to Port Clinton.

When Redskins slowed the game down to their tempo, Hu-ron struggled, as in the fi rst period. The Tigers trailed by eight points, 17-9. PC was lighting it up hitting from both the inside and outside. The visitors were not patient them-selves on offense while Port Clinton ate up chunks of clock.

With very few fouls called on either team during the fi rst half, the game fl ew by. Finally, in the second quarter, the tempo and momentum of the game shifted more to the visitor’s liking. Huron scored the fi rst eight points to tie the game at 17 a piece. Huron’s zone press fi nally took the Red-skins out of their offensive rhythm. A Bollenbacher three with 3:45 left in the fi rst half gave the Tigers their fi rst lead, 20-19 since the opening basket. The teams battled back and forth and went into the locker room tied at 25-25 at the half.

Port Clinton opened the third quarter on a 10-4 run to take a 35-29 lead. The Redskins were making a deliberate effort to slow down the game and pound it inside. But Hu-ron center Aaron Casey knocked in four points at the end of the quarter to bring his team back to within two points, 33-35.

In the fi nal quarter, following a steal, Bollenbacher hit a three to again tie the game at 39 a piece. A minute later, Casey, a very solid free throw shooter, sank two to give his team a 41-40 lead. From this point, the game went back and forth for the fi nal three and a half minutes. Casey defi -nitely playing more aggressively on the offensive end.

With :27 left Huron stole the ball and called time out. James set up a play most certainly for Bo to get a fi nal look in the closing seconds. But he wasn’t open. Thompson kept his cool and was able to turn the corner on his man at the top of the key, then headed straight for the hole. His run-ning shot hit off the back the rim. Casey, who was crashing the boards, took the rebound and put it back up. It hung there for a moment, and just as the buzzer sounded, it fell through for the 47-45 win. Bollenbacher fi nished with 18 while the sophomore, Casey, had 15 points including the critical game winner.

On Saturday, the Tigers defeated the NOL leading Nor-walk Truckers in Norwalk. Cody Thompson played an out-standing game on both the offensive and defensive ends in the 55-52 Huron victory. Particularly in the fi nal quarter where the Tigers outscored the Truckers 21-13. Casey led Huron with 14 points while Thompson fi nished with 13 points, and Bollenbacher added 12 of his own.

The Huron Tiger Bowling team has earned a spot in the District Tournament on February 25. The Sectional Tournament, advanced the area’s top seven teams. Huron qualifi ed by taking 5th place out of 17 teams that partici-pated. They will bowl at Interstate Lanes in Rossford for the District Tournament. A very pleased Coach Hodges stated, “This is Huron’s fi rst bowling team in six years and they have done a fantastic job of competing right out of the gate.”

Huron’s Varsity team for the Sectional Tournament was made up of Shane Brandal, Bryce Haase, Ryan McNulty, Kevin Gosser, Austin Thorn, Jordan Stutzman, and Nick Fisher. One other bowler, Thomas Kyer, will be joining the Varsity Team for the District Tournament.

The team bowled 3 standard games and 6 baker games:Standard Game Scores:Game 1 - 799; Game 2 - 984; Game 3 - 954Baker Scores: Game 1 - 168; Game 2 - 179; Game 3 - 177Game 4 - 150; Game 5 - 193; Game 6 - 150Grand Total = 3754

The Huron Lady Tigers fi nished up their regular sea-son this past with a fi nal record on 4-16 and 2-12 in the SBC. Their last home game came on Tuesday night (Se-nior night) against the Sandusky Blue Streaks. It was also a return visit of former starting point guard Caroline Estel, who is now a junior point guard for the Streaks. While only scoring two points on the night, her ball handling skills and hustle proved to be a difference maker in the 51-45 Huron loss.

The game opened up fast and furious for both teams. Huron played maybe one of its strongest halves of the sea-son. Senior Devon Koenig hit the Tiger’s fi rst three buckets while Volz nailed a three with 4:50 left in the fi rst quarter to give Huron a 9-7 lead. Unfortunately for Huron, that would be their only three of the evening. Still, both teams played a fast paced game, and after junior Sierra Ward’s short jumper near the buzzer, the Tigers just trailed by two points, 17-15.

Both teams scoring pace slowed a bit, especially late in the second stanza. Koenig and Volz answered every Sandusky score, with Koenig giving the home team a one point ad-vantage, 27-26, following two late lay-ins before halftime.

The second half become a more physical contest. Follow-ing a technical foul on Coach Ray, the Blue Streaks went on an 8-2 run that ended with a Huron time out at the 2:42 mark. The Tigers now trailed 38-31. Koenig was able to close the margin to within four points, 40-36 as the third period drew to a close.

One thing Huron was able to do well all night was to fi nd a way to get Devon Koenig the ball down low. Her athletic ability allows her to make inside shots from what seems to be the oddest angles even though, at only 5’8”, she isn’t a big physical presence. When she went down for a couple minutes after tweaking her ankle during the fi nal period, Huron had no answer for that. Volz struggled from the fi eld most of the night and Sandusky was able to build a nine point lead with just three and a half minutes to play.

Determined not to give up this lead, Sandusky shadowed Volz no matter where she went during the fi nal four min-utes. Koenig came back in, but was noticeably limping and couldn’t jump to get the ball. Sandusky’s point guard Estel did a nice job keeping the ball moving and out of trouble, fl ying through the Tiger press. Ward tried to pick up the slack and hit Huron’s last two shots, but it was too little, too late and Huron fell, 51-45.

Keonig had an outstanding game scoring 20 points and picking up 12 rebounds. Senior Gina Munafo contributed fi ve assists and six rebounds. Lauren Volz, playing in her fi nal home game of the season with her fellow seniors, added 13 points and 7 rebounds.

The Tigers lost their fi nal regular season game to the Edison Chargers in Milan, 58-46. Volz led Huron with 13 points while Koenig chipped in 10 of her own. The Tigers played an outstanding fi rst half again, trailing by just two points, but could only muster seven while Edison hit eigh-teen in the deciding third period.

Congratulations to McCormick Jr. High Schools 8th grade boys and girls basketball teams for claiming SBC titles. The boys fi nished their regular season with an out-standing 12-0 record. They had tournament wins over #8 seed Edison in the fi rst round and #5 seed Port Clinton in

Schools

The Huron City Schools Cafeterias played host of the School Nutrition Association meeting last Monday. Following the meet-ing at Woodlands Intermediate School, the eighty-four member group was treated to a “Destination Dinner” sponsored by Ratio-nal and The Culinary Vegetable Institute.

The evening was tailored to the Valen-tine’s Day theme with fresh roses, fi ne china and linen table clothes all to honor the Caf-eteria “Sweethearts”. “The Rational Chef ’s and the Culinary Vegetable Institute staff prepared an outstanding dinner, which was enjoyed by all,” stated Sue Whitaker, Hu-ron’s Food Service Director. Whitaker was the only member of the Association who was involved in the planning and knew the

exact location prior to arriving.Two Chefs from Rational gave an infor-

mative presentation on the many uses and benefi ts for healthy cooking when using the Rational SelfCooking Center. Rational is a unique cooking equipment company that provides to restaurants and schools.

The School Nutrition Association meets three times a year to further their knowl-edge on school meals, healthy choices, and staying up to date on the latest regulations. The host school provides an evening of learning, information and dinner to area school district’s cafeteria staff.

“With the help of all those involved, it was truly a Valentine’s Day to remember,” stated Whitaker.

What’s it like to go to EHOVE? Who are EHOVE students? Now you can fi nd out by hearing fi rsthand from four EHOVE

students who are documenting their senior year through EHOVE Connection. This new blog website features written entries by the students, which is what you’d expect. But the students also have fl ip cams to take photos and videos of their school day and what’s important to them. The students volunteered to take part in the project to show the community how EHOVE is help-ing them train for a career and prepare for college or the military.

The site features bloggers Forensics stu-dent Victoria Stutler (Western Reserve H.S.), Criminal Justice student Jerrid Tucker (Margaretta H.S.), Cosmetology student Kate Olson (Vermilion H.S.) and Forensics student Heaven Gunn (Norwalk H.S.). Each of the four bloggers volun-teered to take part in the pilot project, even though it meant extra time out of their busy schedules that already include school, activities like Student Council and student

organization competitions, homework, sports, jobs, community service projects and much more. “The blog site will show

people who don’t know EHOVE, or knew EHOVE years ago, how great this place is now,” said Stutler.

Tucker wants everyone to know that he and his classmates are getting a great edu-cation. “We’re getting the best training in our fi eld, becoming better people and be-ing prepared for a solid future,” said Jerrid.

Gunn wanted to blog because she wants everyone to know what EHOVE has to of-fer. “I’m on my way to college and the ca-reer I want because of EHOVE,” said Gunn. “I’ve gotten great training, real world expe-rience and am way ahead.”

Olson agrees with her fellow bloggers, but also wants everyone to know she’s enjoying being an EHOVE student too. “We work hard, but we also have fun which helps us learn to make good choices. We’re going to out on our own as adults soon and EHOVE is helping us get ready for it the right way,” said Olson.

Congratulations to the following Mc-Cormick Junior High students for earning the “Student of the Month” title for Janu-ary: Kylie Greulich, 7th grade & Paige Gra-ham, 8th grade.

McCormick Princi-pal, Mr. Chad Carter, and the grade level teachers will recognize one deserving student a month throughout the school year. “The

award will be based on the following cri-teria: attendance, at-titude, workmanship, growth and improve-ment, classroom be-havior and work com-pletion,” stated Mr. Carter, McCormick Principal. The Student of the Month candi-dates are nominated by the grade level teachers and selected by Mr. Carter and the McCormick staff.

Huron, Ohio – Local green-businessmen Tim and Craig Rathbun will keynote the 38th Annual University Business Sympo-sium hosted at Bowling Green State Uni-versity Firelands College on March 1.

Graduates of BGSU, Tim (’86) and Craig (’83) have collectively contributed to one of the fastest growing environmental busi-nesses in the state – SUREnergy, LLC is the Midwest’s leading wind energy company, both designing and installing wind power systems for residential, commercial, agri-cultural and industrial applications.

The theme of the 2011 University Busi-ness Symposium is Going Green in Busi-ness: Reducing Your “Wasteline.” The Symposium series was created to provide students, faculty, and the business commu-nity with an opportunity to exchange ideas concerning business topics.

Tim, Chief Executive Offi cer of SUREn-ergy, has more than 20 years of legal and management experience. He managed all fi nancial aspects of manufacturing opera-tions in his six years as an attorney with the law fi rm Shumaker, Loop & Kendrick, fol-lowed by three years with Venture Packag-ing, Inc., and the last 13 years as the princi-pal and manger of Encore Industries, Inc., which has offi ces in Ohio, Minnesota, Utah, and Georgia. Tim is also a 1989 Graduate of the Case Western Reserve School of Law.

Craig, President of Encore Plastics and

Chief Business Offi cer of SUREnergy, has more than 25 years of experi ence in sales and operations management and a com-prehensive knowledge of business develop-ment having owned and operated his own successful manufacturing businesses - Ber-ry Plastics Corporation, Venture Packaging and Encore Industries.

Also presenting at the Symposium will be David Jenkins, director of operations for the EHOVE Career Center. A native and long-time resident of Erie County, Jenkins is a 1993 graduate of BGSU. He has been with EHOVE for more than 15 years and is currently in charge of information tech-nology, maintenance, custodial, and secu-rity departments. He also directs all facil-ity, capital improvements, and equipment purchases for the district. Most recently Jenkins implemented a $1.8 million energy effi ciency project.

The Symposium is co sponsored by BGSU Firelands, Erie County Chamber of Com-merce, Huron Chamber of Commerce, and the EHOVE Career Center. Activities will be held in the Cedar Point Conference Cen-ter at BGSU Firelands and will begin with refreshments provided by EHOVE Adult Career Center Professional Culinary Pro-gram at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, March 1.

Free and Open to the Public. For addi-tional details, please contact Dr. Cindy Mi-glietti, 419.433.5560 ext. 20684.
