Lata Stefano, DDS, Inc. announces the retirement of Dr. Craig Johnson, be-ginning March 1, 2012. After practicing dentistry in the Sandusky, Ohio area for more than 35 years, Johnson’s retirement will allow him more time to golf, travel and fish. For more information, call 419.626.2205 or go to www.stefanodental.com.

“Our team is very happy for Dr. Johnson as he embarks on this new phase of his life,” said Lata Ste-fano, DDS, owner of Lata Stefano, DDS, Inc. “We appreciate all his work and com-mitment to our patients.”

Lata Stefano, DDS and Patricia Sharp, DDS of Lata Stefano, DDS, Inc. look for-ward to servicing and working with all Dr. Johnson’s former patients, providing them with excellent clinical and patient care.

Johnson graduated from The Ohio State University (OSU) in 1974. Prior to study-ing at OSU, he attended Miami University of Ohio. He continues to be active in the community, as a swimming and diving official for the Ohio High School Athletic Association for the past nine years. He had served as head swim coach at Huron High School for 12 years and was a past president of the Sandusky Rotary Club. He enjoys fishing, golfing, traveling, and spending time with his wife, two adult daughters and grandchildren.

Local farm family directs $2,500 to United Way of Erie County through America’s Farmers Grow CommunitiesSM

Sandusky, OH. Feb. 16, 2012 – The United Way of Erie County has been improving people’s live for over 90 years. Thanks to the America’s Farmers Grow CommunitiesSM program it will now be able to put some much needed funds towards a variety of community services.

Grow Communities gives farmers the op-portunity to win $2,500 for their favorite local nonprofit organizations. Jeff Hartley, who has been farming in Bellevue for more than thirty years, was the winning farmer in Erie County. He recognized the need for additional fund-ing and directed the donation to United Way of Erie County.

“We chose the United Way of Erie County because they reach so many worthy charitable organizations,” said Teresa Hartley, Jeff ’s wife. These organizations include the Salvation Army, Red Cross, Goodwill, and a variety of scholarships, shelters and other worthwhile

charitable organizations. “United Way of Erie County will include

these funds in our 2012 annual community campaign,” explained Pam Brumbaugh, exec-

utive director. “Funds will then be invested in four primary programs which provide youth and emergency services, counseling and trans-portation among other programs.”

After being on the job for nearly one month, Huron’s new police chief, Bob Lippert, could not be happier. Lippert, 48, a native of Nor-walk, had looked forward to living in Huron his whole life. After living here for the past 9 years, Lippert was thrilled to be hired as Chief. “I have a vested interest in Huron. I live here. I don’t plan on leaving here. I wanted to do as much as I could for the communi-ty and what better way than to be the Chief of Police.” stated Lippert.

Lippert has a long history in law enforcement. After obtaining his associate’s de-gree from Terra C o m m u n i t y College, Lippert found his first full-time employ-ment in Milan. After one year on the job in Milan, he was hired by the Erie County Sheriff ’s Office. Over his 25-year career with the Sheriff ’s Of-fice, Lippert served as a patrol officer and within the detective bureau. At the time of his retirement in October 2011, Lippert held the rank of Lieutenant.

According to Lippert, his primary goal as Hu-ron’s Police Chief is “to run a modern, produc-

tive, proactive, and cost-effective agency that is manned by highly-trained officers.” Lippert wants the officers to be more visible than ever before, which he feels will deter crime. Also, Lippert stated, “I want to make sure that of-ficers are accountable to the citizens they are protecting.” Lippert is truly impressed with Huron’s current group of officers, and he pro-claimed that they “accept that they have a job to do and know what they have to do.” This

was most appar-ent during the time period in which there was no Chief in place. Lippert praised Sergeant Zappa for his leader-ship during that transitional time period.

Though tech-nology has not only improved the ability of of-ficers to obtain information, but it also has kept officers safer while on patrol. Nonetheless, Lip-

pert feels that nothing can replace the benefits obtained by partnering with the community and getting to know its residents. Lippert will strive to lead the 13 full-time officers and other part-time officers in an efficient manner, while not losing sight of the fact that they are here to serve the community.

The 23rd Annual Huron Boosters Reverse Raffle will be held at Saw-mill Creek Resort on Saturday, March 17 th. Doors open at 6pm, Dinner will be served at 6:30pm. All proceeds from this event provide scholar-ships to qualifying Huron High School senior athletes.

available at the cash bar. Local musician, Steve Brownell will provide entertainment. This fun-packed evening will host Games of Chance,a Silent Auction, a 50/50, and several other surprises that await ticket holders.

Around TownFirelands Symphony Orchestra (FSO) has awarded

scholarships for private violin or piano lessons to three lo-cal music students.

Isaiah Taylor, Eric Woods and Katey Garza will study at the Firelands School of the Arts through June and will be eligible to apply for continuing support through the next school year. The scholarships are made possible through the generosity of FSO donors.

“The mission of the FSO is to enrich the region’s quality of life by presenting high quality live musical performances and educational experiences,” said Ann Voight, president of the FSO board. “We consider it our legacy to the future to make it possible for aspiring musicians to have instruc-tion that enhances their talents.”

The FSO also funded international performing artist Seo-na McDowell at five area elementary schools on Jan. 17-20. More than 1,750 students at Ontario Elementary in San-dusky, St. Peter and Shawnee Elementary in Huron, Edison Elementary and Pleasant Elementary in Norwalk took part in the interactive music program “Citizens of the World” by playing in a world band, singing on stage, doing hand actions and dancing. These programs are made possible through grants to the FSO from the Mylander Foundation, Stein Foundation and GeoTrac Foundation.

Over the past four weeks, FSO musicians have been teaching students at St. Peter Catholic School in Huron about the various sections of the orchestra. Students were able to see most of the instruments in each section and hear the sounds they make. They learned how musicians in an orchestra work together and with the music direc-tor and where they sit in their sections. These educational workshops will culminate with an invitation to attend the FSO Harp Magic concert at 8 p.m. Feb. 25 at the Sandusky State Theatre.

For more information about FSO educational programs, please visit www.FirelandsSymphony.com or call the Sym-phony office at 419-621-4800.

This is a reminder to all you boat owners that it is time to check your boat registration to see if it expires on March 1 of this year.

Boat registrations are good for three (3) years and expire on March 1 of the final year. All boats need to be regis-tered in Ohio, including canoes, kayaks and certain inflat-ables. Ohio Revised Code Section 1545.54 is the statute that covers the requirement for boat registration. Ohio law also requires boat owners to place two (2) tags on their boats indicating the expiration date. These tags are the familiar colored stickers of the State of Ohio which includes the expiration date. Ohio Revised Code Section

1545.57 is the section which deals with the requirement for placement of these stickers or tags as well as the iden-tification numbers located on the hull of the boat near the tags. Please review these sections and the Ohio Depart-ment of Natural Resource’s (ODNR) website at www.dnr.state.oh.us for more information. ODNR usually does send reminders to boat owners when the registration is to expire; however, it is the owner’s responsibility to make sure that their boat is properly registered. Ohio law has determined that a violation of these registration laws is considered a minor misdemeanor.

Articles appearing in this column are intended to pro-vide broad, general information about the law. Before ap-plying this information to a specific legal problem, read-ers are urged to seek advice from an attorney

Firelands Historical Society members and friends will hear about “Lake Erie Ice Fishing” from James O. Miller, president of Sandusky’s Citizens Bank, when they meet Wednesday, March 21 “I have been interested in local mar-itime history for as long as I can remember,” the Sandusky native said today. The meeting will be held at 7 p.m. in the Research Center at 9 Case Ave., Norwalk.

Miller has been working with the Sandusky Maritime Museum since it was founded in 1993, and seeks to pre-serve information on “a heritage that is very integral to our community,” he said. This event is free and open to the public.

The first paragraph is theirs. Note - they are making a stab at humor.

Your kids can be helpful at tax time. That doesn’t mean they’ll sort your tax receipts or refill your cof-fee, but those charming children may help you qualify for some valuable tax benefits. Here are 10 things the IRS wants parents to consider when fil-ing their taxes this year.

1. Dependents In most cases, a child can be claimed as a dependent in the year they were born. For more infor-mation see IRS Publication 501, Exemptions, Standard Deduction, and Filing Information.

2. Child Tax Credit You may be able to take this credit for each of your children under age 17. If you do not ben-efit from the full amount of the Child Tax Credit, you may be eligible for the Additional Child Tax Credit. For more information see IRS Publication 972, Child Tax Credit.

3. Child and Dependent Care Credit You may be able to claim this credit if you pay someone to care for your child or children under age 13 so that you can work or look for work. See IRS Publication 503, Child and Dependent Care Expenses.

4. Earned Income Tax Credit The EITC is a tax ben-efit for certain people who work and have earned income from wages, self-employment or farming. EITC reduces the amount of tax you owe and may also give you a re-

fund. IRS Publication 596, Earned Income Credit, has more details.

5. Adoption Credit You may be able to take a tax credit for qualifying expenses paid to adopt an eligible child. If you claim the adoption credit, you must file a paper tax return with required adoption-related documents. For details, see the instructions for IRS Form 8839, Qualified Adoption Expenses.

6. Children with earned income If your child has in-come earned from working, they may be required to file a tax return. For more information, see IRS Publication 501.

7. Children with investment income Under certain cir-cumstances a child’s investment income may be taxed at their parent’s tax rate. For more information, see IRS Publication 929, Tax Rules for Children and Dependents.

8. Higher education credits Education tax credits can help offset the costs of higher education. The American Opportunity and the Lifetime Learning Credits are edu-cation credits that can reduce your federal income tax dollar-for-dollar. See IRS Publication 970, Tax Benefits for Education, for details.

9. Student loan interest You may be able to deduct inter-est paid on a qualified student loan, even if you do not itemize your deductions. For more information, see IRS Publication 970.

10. Self-employed health insurance deduction If you were self-employed and paid for health insurance, you may be able to deduct any premiums you paid for cover-age for any child of yours who was under age 27 at the end of the year, even if the child was not your dependent. For more information, see the IRS website.

Not long ago I gave a pint of blood to the American Red Cross. This I do on a regular basis as my Dad did before me. This time, however, was special. In addition to the normal afterwards treats of Lorna Doon cookies and pineapple juice (maybe that’s really why I go), I got a t-shirt and a cou-pon for a strawberry pie at Denny’s.

So on the way back from hospital calling one afternoon, I stopped by the restaurant to redeem my certificate. Cozy in a corner booth by myself with a cup of steaming coffee, newspaper spread out on the table in front of me, I was salivating in anticipa-tion of my delicious piece of pie. The rest would be taken home to my wife Joan. Our Schnauzer dog Greta might get a taste, too.

I looked up to see a single woman, and two adorable children maybe 7 and 10 years of age walk through the front door. A girl and a boy.

The Mom was talking on her cell phone. They were shown to a booth, sat down, pe-rused the menu, and ordered their food. The Mom continued an animated and laughing conversation on her cell phone.

The attentive wait-ress gave the chil-dren, who had been talking to one an-other, crayons and activity placemats. They began to color, draw, and write as their food arrived.

In between bites, Mom continued her conversation – on her cell phone. They finished, paid the check, and departed, Mom leading the way, with her cell phone still firmly attached to her ear. I kept wondering, “Who is she talk-ing to? Who is she listening to?” I couldn’t help but ask myself, “What is so impor-tant?” And anguish at what a missed op-portunity to engage in conversation with her children.

Such as, “How was school today? How are friendships going? Any problems or situa-tions I should know about? What about the

Dr. Stefano had the students act as teeth and show them how to brush the teeth and how to floss (in between the teeth). Dr. Stefano also discussed with the students the snacks that are good for teeth (cheese, fruits, vegetables). Dr. Ste-fano tried on her mask, gloves, and glasses for the stu-dents, to show them what their dentist may look like so they would not be afraid.

School Open House for

New Families On Thursday, February 23, students at St. Peter School attended the fourth presentation by the Firelands Sym-phony Orchestra. Each week for four weeks, one section of the orchestra came and entertained the students while teaching about their particular section. Last week, the string section was represented. One of the preschoolers even was able to touch the instrument to help all of the students understand why there are holes in the cello.

On Friday, the guest harpist for the Firelands Sympho-ny Orchestra came to talk with the students and demon-strate the harp. Cheryl Losey then performed Saturday night as the guest harpist for the Firelands Symphony Orchestra. Approximately seventy students and family members from St. Peter School attended the symphony on Saturday night in Sandusky.

EHOVE Career Center’s Mavericks have unveiled their competition robot for the upcoming competition sea-son. The robotics team is made up of students in EHOVE’s training programs of Engineering Tech, In-dustrial Tech, Interac-tive Media Tech and even Health Careers students from eleven of EHOVE’s 16 part-ner school districts throughout Erie, Huron and Ottawa Counties.

At their rally for EHOVE students and staff, local business sponsors and men-tors, the team intro-duced their robot and the process it took to get them to the fin-ished product. A cloth was draped over the robot to hide it before the big reveal, (except for the flashing lights that shone through the cloth). Afterward, the students demonstrated how their robot could maneuver on the court, retrieve bas-ketballs, shoot baskets, and balance

on a pivoting board. All of the skills necessary to compete in the FIRST Robotics competitions this year.

“I’m so proud of their hard work.

It’s an enormous project, especially for high school kids going through this process for the first time. It’s a great way to get kids excited about science, technology and math. what it’s all about. To show them that en-gineering is a rewarding career,” said

EHOVE Engineering Tech Instructor and Robotics Team Coach Jim Mc-Intyre.

The team members make the most of their interest in science, math, engineering and tech-nology to plan and build the robot for the First Ro-botics competitions, which are sponsored by NASA, Lego, General Motors and many other nationally rec-ognizable companies. The EHOVE team has been a tough competitor, earning a spot amongst about 10,000 other students to advance to recent national competi-tions. Special thanks to the generous sponsorships of local businesses and pro-fessionals donating their time as mentors, including NASA, Sierra Lobo and sev-eral other whose generous

support is greatly appreciated. More information about First Robotics is available at www.usfirst.org. Photos from the rally and results of the up-coming EHOVE Mavericks competi-tions will be available at www.Face-book.com/EHOVEworks.

EHOVE recently received the certification as a train-ing site and approval by the National Healthcare Asso-ciation (NHA) to administer the National Certification Examination for Patient Care Technician (CPCT), EKG Technician (CET), and Medical Administrative Assistant (CMAA) on campus. Many national certifications re-quire the student to travel to an off campus testing site, usually 30 minutes or more away. This recent certifica-tion with NHA will benefit the students in being able to take their examination right here on campus.

EHOVE Medical Assistant Director and Coordina-tor Tonya Lloyd was chosen to attend the national item writer/review workshop (all expenses paid by NHA) in

December of 2011 with 100 other educators across the nation, due to her involvement with EHOVE’s new Pa-tient Care Technician program. This programs starts in March 2012, and details describing it can be found at www.EHOVE.net.

“I gained a very different perspective and understand-ing on not only all the hard work that goes into writ-ing certification examination questions, but also a great insight as to what students can expect to see as poten-tial certification examination questions. Likewise, the networking was phenomenal, as EVERYONE was so willing to share program ideas and teaching styles,” said Lloyd.

Both the Varsity (13-7) and JV squads finished off successful regu-lar seasons with convincing wins in Milan over the Edison Chargers. The junior varsity, coached by Dar-ius Schaefer, completely dismantled the home team by a score of 65-15. Meanwhile, the Huron mens squad continued the evening’s work by starting out strong by coming out with 21-12 first quarter effort. The younger members of the team saw valuable varsity minutes as the Ti-gers coasted to a 73-51 win. Sopho-more Keegan Bollenbacher truly took advantage of the opportunity by knocking down 13 points to lead his team including a three pointer at the halftime horn. The Huron perimeter were finally able to get the ball into Aaron Casey who had 12 points on the night. While the Varsity have played a successful fast, athletic press all season long, the Tigers need to motivate their offen-sive effort.

Firelands Re-gional Medical Center is pleased to announce that Lynne James has been selected as the Beacon of Light Award win-ner for February.

The Firelands Beacon of Light is a program devel-oped to recognize team members who exemplify and exhibit the Values of Firelands Regional Medical Center in the ar-

eas of Service, Integrity, Respect, Unity and Stewardship along with their commitment as a member of our com-munity.

Lynne James is a member of the Dietary Services De-partment serving as the Lead Barista at Java City and displays all the qualities for which Firelands stands. Her nomination read, “Lynne is smiling each and every day and has a positive, friendly attitude. She goes out of her way to make sure every guest and employee feels spe-cial, in addition to making the coffee shop exude a fun, friendly atmosphere.”

Outside of work Lynne started the Community The-atre back up on Put-In-Bay. She created the non-profit organization and received $10,000 in grants from the State of Ohio the first two years. Lynne involved children and now the first kids that were on stage back in 2000 to 2002 are graduating. She started a scholarship open to any graduating student who participated in the theatre. In addition, Lynne was one of the creators and a current cast member of Short Attention Theatre in Port Clinton.

Lynne has been an employee at Firelands Regional Medical Center for over three years. She resides in Port Clinton with her husband, Nick.

Lynne JamesRecognizedas February

Beacon of Light Gregory Surfield, MD, FACS, plastic and reconstructive

surgery, was recently awarded board certification in Plas-tic Surgery by the American Board of Plastic Surgery.

Dr. Surfield is a board certified plastic surgeon special-izing in cosmetic and reconstructive procedures. Certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS) and American Board of Surgery, he completed his Bachelor of Science in only two years from the University of Akron and completed his medical education from Northeastern Ohio University College of Medicine (NEOUCOM). Dr. Surfield completed five years of medical residency in gen-eral surgery at Summa Health Systems in Akron and is a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons (FACS).

A growing body of research suggests that Board Certi-fied physicians deliver higher quality care than non-cer-tified physicians. By choosing a plastic surgeon who is certified by The American Board of Plastic Surgery, Inc., you can be assured that the doctor has graduated from an accredited medical school and has completed at least five years of additional training as a resident surgeon in

a program accredited by the Accreditation Council for Medical Education or the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada. This includes a minimum of five years of residency training in all areas of surgery, includ-ing at least two years devoted entirely to plastic surgery. Certification is a voluntary process a surgeon seeks after this training. To become certified, the doctor then must pass comprehensive written and oral exams.

ABPS is one of the 24 specialty boards recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS). It is the only ABMS board which certifies in the full spectrum of the specialty of plastic surgery of the entire body. That is, plastic and reconstructive surgery of the head and neck, trunk and extremities.

Dr. Surfield is a member of Firelands Physician Group, a multi-specialty group providing primary care & special-ty care services to the surrounding region, and is on the medical staff at Firelands Regional Medical Center.

Firelands Regional Medical Center will be hosting Stork Express on Saturday, March 24 from 9 – 11 am. Stork Express will be held at Firelands Main Campus, 1111 Hayes Avenue, Sandusky.

Stork Express is a free program designed to give pregnant women the opportunity to start on paperwork that is required during their hospital stay. During the program, each participant will review and sign the necessary paperwork, watch the required safety video and take a tour of the OB De-partment.

Stork Express helps to cut down on the amount of paperwork during admission,

allowing the focus to be on the birthing process. It also provides mom-to-be and her spouse/support person the opportu-nity to meet a nurse from the OB Depart-ment and ask any question that may be lingering as their exciting day approaches. Any mom-to-be that is at least 34 weeks into her pregnancy is welcome to attend. A spouse/support person is also welcome and is encouraged to participate.

The Foundation for Firelands provides funding to make this program possible. To register for a session of Stork Express, please call 419-557-7840.

church youth group ac-tivities coming up? Teach-ers? Sports? Homework? Clothes? Tests and projects need time? How can I help?” And what kind of parenting model was she providing for the children to draw upon for the future?

Now, I’ll admit that I’m a low-tech kind of guy, but not a fuddy-duddy who decries all forms of communica-tions technology. I attended a workshop recently spon-sored by the Ohio Council of Churches on using social media for congregational connections and attracting new folks to Christ, espe-cially young adults. I’m very excited about our new web site created by Josh, Chris, and Beth. I can now get my e-mails on my cell phone.

But I also hear parents pulling their hair out over teens logging thousands of text messages. My wife has already conducted a funeral for a young woman who was texting while driving. Coaches, teachers, sports figures, politicians, jour-nalists, and celebrities of all sorts get into major hot water with one thought-less “tweet” that goes viral globe-wide in a matter of moments.

Who are we talking to? Who are we listening to? What is so important?

The Lenten season has ar-rived. One Wednesday night we lined up to have ashes smudged upon our fore-head to signify penitence. What do you need to do to make a stronger commit-ment to Christ who gave his life for you? And what behavior are you model-ing for children and others who look up to you, that they will remember for the future?

Some observe a “techno-Sabbath” day when every-one in the family unplugs (including TV) and actually relates to one another. Some give up certain pleasures during these 40 days of Lent until the Easter celebration. Some concentrate upon do-ing more good deeds. Oth-ers do both, fast, or come up with creative ways to ob-serve Lent.

The Advent and Christ-mas season is chocked full of activity, fun, busyness, food and bustle. Lent invites us to slow down, divest our-selves of materialism, and talk to God. Listen to God. Confess and repent. Start a new spiritual life.

At Jesus’ transfiguration, from an overshadowing cloud came a voice, “This is my Son, the Beloved; Listen to him!” When they looked around, they saw only Jesus. That is my prayer for you and me this Lenten season.

Sincerely in Christ Jesus, Rev. Roger.

A voice for the middle class, speaking up for our citizens!

Vote Tuesday, March 6Vote

Erie County is at a tipping point. Together, all Erie County must reinvest with a unified vision toreduce tax payer burden, support existing businesses and bring in new, good paying jobs.

What the people say:

“Hard working became Sam’s life, serving his country as a Marine, and services to his community on Huron City Coun-cil.”- James (Jimmy) Dean

“Sam understands if you’re going to be an effective voice you must first be a good listener.”- Lattie Slusher

“Some attributes that made a good leader are courage, in-tegrity, and honesty, regardless of circumstances; this is Sam Artino.”- Jim and Marva Jackson

“Sam is listening to people’s day to day concerns and relaying how his skills and experience match the needs of Erie County. Sam is one of the people, standing shoulder to shoulder with his fellow citizens. I hope you will consider Sam Artino for your vote on March 6th. Sam has the experience to start the job on day one, knowing what is important to you and how to get it done.”- Dave Waddington, Former City Commissioner of Sandusky

Sam Artino is one of the people; he grew up in Perkins town-ship, lived in Sandusky and now lives in Huron.

Reasons for change:• Raising Sewer and Water Rates• Unfunded Mandates and Recycling and Economic development pushed to local gov-ernments.• Reducing services to children, families, and seniors with a 50% staff reduction at Jobs and Family Services.• Creating adversarial relationships during difficult times when cooperation is essential.

These are short term actions that will have a devastatinglong term financial impact on tax payers.

Accomplishments:• Huron City Council member - 2 terms• Worked together with the City Manager, staff and employees to reduce debt by 50%.• Reduced health care cost by 11%• Reduced operating cost while continuing growth in the City operating fund.

Sam Artino stands with the people: US Marine Corps, 6 years in Huron City Coun-cil, UAW leadership and a small business owner. He has 18 years experience coaching and training others in team building, leadership and conflict management.

Sam Artino is speaking up for people; he has visited over 40 gatherings at church-es, coffee shops, and factories in the last few weeks to learn of your concerns and ideas.
