Ohio Parks and Recreation Association (OPRA) has recognized the Huron River Boat Access in their Annual Awards of Excellence. The newly opened public boat ramp had been awarded 3rd

Place for the category of “Facilities ranging from $0 - $2,500,000”. The Annual Awards of Excel-lence were presented during a banquet in Febru-ary at the Cincinnati Netherlands Plaza in Cincin-nati, Ohio. Doug Steinwart, Municipal Boat Basin Facility Manager and Chris Basting, Parks Manag-er representing the Huron Parks & Recreation De-partment, attended the annual OPRA conference and awards banquet to accept the 3rd place honor.

The OPRA awards are judged in a two-tiered process, which includes a panel of parks and rec-reation professionals from around Ohio, as well as the association’s Board of Directors.

The OPRA panel evaluates the projects on their purpose, the participants, how specifi c goals and objectives are met, community activation and an explanation of how challenges were handled.

“The Huron River Boat Access project is unique in the sense it was a collaboration of state and lo-cal identities working together to form a partner-ship that promoted access to river and lake waters while revitalizing the riverfront landscape,” stated Doug Steinwart, Municipal Boat Basin Facility Manager. “Both public access and revitalization efforts have been successfully obtained through this project.”

The Ohio Department of Natural Resources’ Di-vision of Wildlife purchased the 19.8 acre prop-erty from ConAgra in August of 2006 when the grain elevator closed its doors. The purchase was made possible through the Boater-Angler Fund.

The fund received its cash fl ow from motor fuel taxes paid by boaters. State and local offi cials signed a memorandum of understanding at the

time of the deal agreeing to a state-local partner-ship to redevelop the site. The state took posses-sion of the southern-half of the property, while the city gained possession of the northern portion of the property.

The boat ramp, located just north of Cleveland Road on the southern portion of the peninsula, is owned by the state and managed by the city. The nearly $2 million ramp includes four lanes into the water, 135 parking spaces for trailers and 33 for autos. The partnership continued as the state funded the project and the city acted as the project manager.

The project has improved the overall aesthetics of the community while serving the public a cost free means of accessing the waters of the river and

the lake. Additional sidewalks were installed to provide a safe fl at surface for pedestrians to ex-tend their exercise circuits. Green energy light-ing and LED lighting was added throughout the property for additional security while contribut-ing positively to the environment. A very con-servative, natural, low-maintenance landscaping scheme has been incorporated into the property to enhance the overall appearance. Park benches and public restrooms are available for public use.

The OPRA award is the second honor the Huron River Boat Access has awarded this year.

At the Huron Chamber of Commerce’s an-nual dinner meeting and recognition event, six awards were presented to Huron area busi-

ness owners and residents. Chamber president Bruce Miller and director Sheila Ehrhardt in-troduced the honorees.

Guests attending the “Hawaian Luau” on Tuesday, March 15 at the Kalahari Nia Center were urged to come dressed in Caribbean ca-sual. An authentic Hawaiian hula dancer en-tertained and there was even an “Ugliest Shirt” Contest, whose winner shall remain nameless.

Winners of the “Bright Star 2011” awards included: Bill Scott, a lifetime Huron resident and high school teacher for 35 years. A Huron High School graduate, he excelled in football and track, setting records in both sports. He still holds the HHS record in the 220-yard dash. A graduate of Muskingum College, he broke the school record for the 220, and, along with Edwin Moses, qualifi ed for the national track meet in 1976.

After earning a master’s degree in Sports Sci-ence from BGSU, “Doc,” as the athletes refer to him, put his talents to good use, becoming somewhat of an expert in sports injuries and the treatment to heal them.

After a decade of teaching in Monroeville, he came to Huron High School in 1986 and will be retiring this spring after a lifetime of pro-viding encouragement, life skills and a window to future success for three generations of track and cross country teams.

Immediate past president of the Huron Chamber, Doug Studer, earned an award and

the nickname “P.T. Barnum. Ehrhardt de-scribed him as the guy who always sees that “the show must go on.” Be it the Huron Rotary

Festival, a Chamber event, the FishHuronOhio organization formed to promote area fi sheries or Girls’ Night Out, Studer gives it his all.

Founders of the annual girls’ gala fi ve years ago, he and his wife, Gretchen, have raised more than $120,000 for Cancer Services and other local cancer foundations with the huge event that draws more than 1,200 women each year.

Huron Street Department crew members, Dan Hoppe, Brent Yoakum, Jim Blainey and Dan Rosenberg were honored for their work with the Chamber and other community groups installing personalized summer ban-ners for local businesses and holiday decora-tions each year throughout downtown Huron.

Marge Billman received an award for her many years of dedicated volunteer work for the Chamber, and the Erie Community Feder-al Credit Union was honored as “Outstanding Huron Business.”

Studer presented the fi rst annual “Unsung Hero Award” to Wayne Foster, owner of Foster Funeral Home & Crematory. The HHS gradu-ate has worked behind the scenes for many years, designing computer programs that he uses to keep complete “stats” for the school’s football program. In addition to his work as co-chairman of the Huron campaign for Unit-ed Way and many other behind-the-scenes civic activities, Foster handles offi cial timing for all high school track events.

BY LISA YAKOAfter being on the job for over a month, Daniel Slife,

the new director of the Huron Public Library, has settled into his position and into life in a small town. The transi-tion from Lakewood to Huron has been a pleasant one for Daniel and his wife, Natalie. Daniel has enjoyed meeting many Huron residents and has observed that “People here are very friendly and down to earth. It has been very easy for me to connect with my neighbors and begin to feel at home.” One aspect of Lake-wood that both Daniel and Natalie truly miss is the acces-sibility of a variety of ethnic foods. In addition, they both have been trying to wean themselves off espresso due to the lack of a true coffee shop in Huron; however, they have come to enjoy the freshly roasted coffee beans sold at Cor-nell’s Foods.

Daniel has been overwhelmed by the love that Huron res-idents have for their library. He stated, “I am lucky enough to be sitting at the heart of the community here at the li-brary and have noticed that people have a deep respect for this library. I have not met anyone in town, yet, who is not a library supporter.” In addition to the community being very supportive of both Daniel and the library in general, Daniel has been impressed by the library staff members who he feels are attentive to the needs of the community and have been tremendously supportive of him. In speak-ing further about the library staff, Daniel claimed that he “could not have asked for anything better.”

Daniel sees a bright future for the Huron Public Library. The Board of Trustees is getting ready to go through a stra-tegic planning process in which they will be working with the community and staff to get a sense of how the Huron Public Library’s goals and objectives can be realigned to-wards the community’s hopes and aspirations for the li-brary. Daniel sees the library’s role now and in the future as “a place through which people can dream big and a tool through which to realize those dreams.”

Overall, Daniel is enjoying his new home and is quite im-pressed with our library. Huron is very fortunate to have such an enthusiastic and energetic library director who will not only carry on the good work that Anne Hinton did for the library, but will also branch out in new directions.

BY JUDGE BILL STEUK,HURON MUNICIPAL COURTYou may have heard about a visit-

ing judge hearing a case on the Ohio Supreme Court. Our Supreme Court consists of seven (7) justices. Some-times a justice cannot hear a case due to illness, disability or disqualifi ca-tion. A disqualifi cation may indicate that a judge has a confl ict of inter-est in regards to the case before the Supreme Court. You may have heard the term “recusal.” Recusal applies when a judge is disqualifi ed on the objection of either party to a case, or when the judge disqualifi es himself or herself from a case. The Ohio Constitution in Article IV § 2 sets forth a process to replace a justice of the Ohio Supreme Court who cannot hear a case. This section gives authority to the Chief Justice to direct any judge of the Court of Appeals to sit in for the absent judge. The Court of Appeals is the sec-ond tier (level) of the three tier judicial system of the State of Ohio. So if you hear of a visiting judge sitting in on the Supreme Court, you know that he or she is an appellate court judge who is replacing a Supreme Court judge under the authority of the Ohio Constitution.

Articles appearing in this column are intended to provide broad, general information about the law. Before applying this information to a specifi c legal problem, readers are urged to seek advice from an attorney

FROM THE BENCH

FROM DEE HARTLEY, ENROLLED AGENTAND SENIOR TAX ADVISOR AT H & R BLOCKIf you are still gathering information

for preparing your 2010 tax return or even if you have already fi led, here is a check list of easily missed items.

1. When someone receives income from the Ohio Police & Fire Pension Fund and pay their medical insurance from their retirement plan distribu-tions. They are allowed to exclude up to $3000 of insurance paid for medi-cal, drugs, dental and vision. You will fi nd the amount paid on the year end statement from their pension check.

2. In 2008 Ohio started allowing the deduction of Retire-ment income received for active duty military service or the National Guard or Reserves, as well as income received by a surviving spouse through the Survivor Benefi t Plan.

3. Qualifying child (not a dependent) – missed EIC4. Older kids – under 24 still in school or disabled –

missed exemption and /or EIC5. Moving Expenses6. Military Reservist traveling over 100 miles to reserve

meetings – adjustment instead of Sch A7. Adoption Credit8. Energy Credit9. Making work Pay credit10. Child Tax and Additional Child Tax Credits11. 1099Rs - Qualifi es as disability and gets EIC Exemp-

tion from 10% penalty Deduction or credit on OhioEducation credits and deductions are very confusing be-

cause there are so many of them and so many choices. If you are paying tuition for one class or full time student there is a tax benefi t for you. Get help in fi guring the right one for your situation.

SANDUSKY– There is still time to get your taxes fi led. Many Erie County residents have begun the fi ling process to ensure that they receive their refunds. To save taxpayers a little extra money this year, when individuals and families can use every extra dollar, United Way of Erie County is still available to help low- and moderate-income Ohioans obtain free Federal and State income tax return assistance and to identify if they are eligible for other work support benefi ts.

Free tax assistance is provided through The Ohio Benefi t Bank (OBB), an online service. Trained counselors at two locations throughout the Sandusky area are available to help residents prepare and fi le their tax returns at no cost if they meet the income eligibility requirement of less than $60,000 per year in household income. Anyone interested in having their taxes completed, should call the United Way Offi ce, at 419.625-4672, to schedule an appointment. If eligible, clients can also claim the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), a special tax refund program for working

families and individuals. “Too many Ohio taxpayers miss out on receiving free tax

assistance each year just because either they don’t know it’s available or they don’t know where to get this valuable service,” said Pam Brumbaugh Executive Director for Unit-ed Way of Erie County. “In addition, at least one in every four taxpayers eligible for the EITC fails to claim the credit, which is why United Way of Erie County is urging residents to call and schedule an appointment to learn more so they don’t miss out on potential benefi ts and tax savings this year.”

Eligible individuals can obtain free tax assistance by visiting The OBB website at www.ohiobenefi ts.org. The website is designed, not only to help individuals and families prepare and electronically fi le their taxes, but also enables Ohioans to claim all credits for which they are eligible at no cost, as well as review potential eligibility for other commu-nity supports. If clients choose to use direct deposit, they can receive their refund in as few as seven to 10 days.

REVEREND ROGER’S REFLECTIONS

BY REV. J. ROGER SKELLEY-WATTSPASTOR, HURON UNITED METHODIST

CHURCH

Have you ever been shepherded around by your Mom or Dad or another relative to a family reunion or other gathering where you only see people occasionally now, or can you remember back when you were a child? Where people would pat you on top of the head, ruffl e your hair, chuck you under the chin, hit you on the upper arm, and pinch your cheek – too hard.

Well, my Granddad Rogers used to do that when we would visit him and Grand-ma and all the cousins down on the farm in South Georgia.

There’s a crossroads at Nicholsville, and on one corner was the gas station, and di-agonally across the Street at the other cor-ner was the general store.

At the gas station they had one pump of Ethel and that’s the kind of gas you used, whether you wanted it or not. Always in the back, next to the pot-bellied stove were a couple of pot-bellied old codgers, huddled over a barrel that supported a checker-board. They were intense about their game. They sat in rocking chairs, but they never rocked.

Then you walked across the street, slowly; there was only one light. Through the screen door that always slammed, you walked into the general store, and for a penny, which the owner would ring up with a chorus of bells on an ornate metal cash register the size of an upright piano, you could reach down into the pickle barrel with your bare hand and grope around in the sticky juice and pull out a dill pickle as big as a zuc-chini and take a big sour bite off the end. The juice would roll down your chin, which you wiped off with your sleeve. Yum!

Then to the family reunion where you got hugged to the bosom by fat aunts and ate a little of everybody’s favorite casserole and a

lot of cousin Lucille’s hot apple pie. Double yum!

Then on a boring Sunday night, which, seeing as how this was Nicholsville, was ev-ery Sunday night, we went to church in a house back in the woods where we sang and watched a big preacher pace back and forth and sweat and shout, and where my grand-dad would get up and testify that he felt like he was “14 years old again” (he wasn’t), and where everyone would fall down on their knees and pray out loud at the same time.

And everywhere we went, everybody had the same speech. It was like they had called ahead and said, “Roger’s coming, dust off that old speech and get ready!” It went something like this:

“Well, my, slap my britches and call me Fannie, ain’t you Willie Ree and John T’s boy? Why I ain’t seen you in a month of Sundays. Why, you’ve growed up like a weed. I remember you when you was just knee high to a grasshopper. So, tell me, boy, what are you going to be when you’ve growed up? What’cha gonna make of your-self?” And they’d pat me on my head, ruffl e my hair (which was not gray at that time), chuck me under the chin, hit me on the up-per arm, and pinch my cheek too hard.

Everyone wanted to know what I wanted to be at age 8, and what I was going to make of myself.

But how do you make something of your-self? You compete. You go out there and get ahead of everybody else. You try like fury to get to the top of the mountain.

However, no matter what we achieve, it is never enough. We still feel in the bottom of our stomach that we are nobody.

Do you know what we need? We need to hear the Gospel down in our guts. Do you remember in the Sermon on the Mount, when Jesus said, “You are the light of the world”? He did not say that you have to earn light or become number one in order to get light He said simply, “You are light.” If you and I could ever hear that down in our soul – really experience what it means, then we could do what Jesus goes on to say: We could let our light shine, and other people could see the good thing God has created

and give glory to the Father in heaven.We are now in the season of Epiphany, the

time when we celebrate Christ as the light of the world. And we consider not only how this light shines to us, but through us. If we take our text seriously, you are led to the conviction that you and I already are Light.

We are children of the living Lord. We are the light of the world. We bring warmth to a cold world, light to a dark time. We are infi nitely precious to a loving Father.

For the world without Christ is gray. Life without Christ is like winter without Christmas. It is like freezing snow without the promise of a coming spring.

And God, to whom we witness, is not a frowning deity. God is a loving, life-giving Father...and not only a Father in heaven, but a loving parent whose light shines through each and every one of us on this earth. And if we are light for the world, our witness must be radiant and attractive. We are not to turn people off but to turn peo-ple on. To walk into your life ought to be like walking into a cabin in winter and cozy up to a warm and blazing fi replace.

We are to really care about the people with whom we work or live or go to school or church or volunteer in organizations. They are not things to be used but people to be prized. We are to pay loving attention to every person we meet, to really see them and really listen to them, and really bring light to their darkness.

But remember, we are not simply point-ing to ourselves and our own goodness when we come as light for the world. No, we point to God. Yes, we do not direct people to ourselves and our goodness; we point persons to God and His grace. We are to give glory to our Fa-ther who is in heaven. For our light comes from God, the great Source. And we in-vite people to a personal re-lationship with God “from whence cometh our help.”

For you are a child of God, and you belong to him. And whoever is telling you that

you are a nobody...whatever person or situ-ation is putting you down; whoever it is who is telling you that you are worthless – that person is wrong!

Because that is not what God created you to tell you. That is not what God sent Christ to this earth to tell you. That is not why God forgave your sins and offered you the gift of eternal life to tell you.

God came to earth as Christ to tell you that you are somebody. God came to earth to tell you that you are the light of the world.

God came to tell you that you don’t have to make something of yourself. He has al-ready made something beautiful of you, and he’s not done yet.

God came to tell you that His love is free for the asking.

From Eugene Petersen’s The Message: “Let me tell you why you are here. You’re here to be salt-seasoning that brings out the God-fl avors of this earth. If you lose your saltiness, how will people taste godliness?

“Here’s another way to put it: You’re here to be light, bringing out the God-colors in the world. God is not a secret to be kept. We’re going public with this, as public as a city on a hill. If I make you light-bearers, you don’t think I’m going to hide you un-der a bucket, do you? I’m putting you on a light stand. Now that I’ve put you there on a hilltop, on a light stand – shine! Keep open house; be generous with your lives. By opening up to others, you’ll prompt people to open up with God, this generous Father in heaven. (Matthew 5:13-20)

A job applicant’s online reputation is becoming just as important as a strong resume and networking skills. This means successful job seekers need to build a positive per-sonal brand online by taking advantage of social media sites like Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter and MySpace.

“What you do and say online, as well as how you present yourself on social networking sites could be important in landing the position you’re seeking,” says Bowen Hopper, a former recruiter for Fortune 1000 companies and current-ly a career services director for Colorado Technical Univer-sity, a leading provider of education for career-motivated students. “Your online presence and brand needs to refl ect your skills, attitude and talents.”

* Do an online search on yourself. This is a good start-ing point to determine what fi rst impression you would make on a recruiter or HR manager who conducts the same search.

* Use discretion. A simple rule of thumb is to limit your content on social networking sites to what you would feel comfortable having a current or future employer view.

* Consider creating a personal website. This is an increas-ingly popular and relatively inexpensive way to increase online visibility and searchability for your skills, experi-ence and qualifi cations.

This 2-week (Monday-Thurs-day, Monday-Thursday) program is a planned curriculum program incorporating classroom activities to familiarize children with the school setting. Safety Town allows chil-dren entering Kindergarten to learn safe ways to approach school and everyday situations. The children are taught the basics of fi re, water, traffi c, and playground safety, as well as poison control, bus behavior and seatbelt importance. Huron Parks and Recreation is fortunate to have help from The Huron Fire & Police Departments, Erie Metroparks, Erie County Environmental Services, Ohio State Highway

Patrol, Sandusky Power Squadron/ Coastie, and Huron City Schools, who help make this program so successful. In ad-dition, we have outstanding Teachers and Safety Town Teen Counselors who create a wonderful, fun and creative envi-ronment for our participants. Last but certainly not least, Huron Parks and Recreation has been fortunate to have the support of many local business who help with sponsorship and/or donations toward our daily snacks/supplies. More on these great community partners to follow in future articles.

This year Safety Town will take place from June 13-23 (Mondays-Thursdays) at Shawnee Elementary School. Thursday, June 23rd is Graduation Day… students and par-ents attend for a Graduation Ceremony/Party! The registra-tion fee is $35 for Residents and $40 for Non-Residents, the deadline for registration is May 13, 2011. Safety Town Reg-istration Forms are available on our website or at the offi ce.

How do I become a Safety Town Counselor? Safety Town Counselors are one of the most important parts in running a successful program. Each year we have between 40-50 counselors who donate their time daily. The typical age of a Safety Town counselor is between 6th and 9th grades. We do have some older, experienced Safety Town counselors who are in 10th, 11th and 12th grade. Safety Town Counselors must have completed 6th grade before Safety Town begins.

These counselors are vital in the day-to-day operations of Safety Town. Each counselor is assigned to a classroom or help on the blacktop outside.

More importantly, a Safety Town Counselor is responsi-ble for bringing excitement and energy to the participants. Many children in Safety Town are nervous the fi rst day and it is the role of the counselor to make sure they feel com-fortable. Most importantly, they make sure the kids are safe and have fun.

Safety Town is a great way to help your community and gain Community Service Hours toward your Diploma of Distinction. You must bring the required paperwork from your high school guidance counselor to the counselor meeting prior to the start of Safety Town. Forms will be completed after completion of Safety Town and you will be contacted to pick up these forms when ready.

If this sounds like something you would be interested in, you will need to complete and return a “New Counselor Application Packet” which can be found on our website or pick one up from the offi ce. The deadline for submitting an application is Friday, April 1st, 2011.

There’s something magical about an outdoor wedding. Being surrounded by nature as you say your vows can make your day even more special. Many couples choose outdoor weddings and receptions

because the event can be highly customiz-able.

An outdoor venue provides the oppor-tunity to save money because you can rent everything you need. Here are some

ideas from the American Rental Associa-tion (ARA):

1. Tents protect from all types of weatherMaking sure you and your guests are

comfortable is very important, and rent-ing tents is the easy way to add comfort and protection to your outdoor wedding space.

2. Customize with the ideal decorations

Next, prioritize the most important elements. For ex-ample, if you want a formal, ocean-themed wedding, you might want to rent chandeliers for inside the tents, along with a fountain for the centerpiece and blue linens and sashes for the tables and chairs.

3. Decide on the right food options

An experienced caterer can help ensure that cold foods stay cold and hot ones stay warm so that guests have an enjoyable meal. If you’re plan-ning to provide the food your-self, make sure to rent the ap-propriate equipment to keep food temperatures safe.

Visit www.rentalhq.com for more information.

Three EHOVE Cosmetology students, Kerri Garner (Western Reserve H.S.), Jessica Parr (Margaretta H.S.) and Tiffani Patrick (South Central H.S.), took a State Board of Cosmetology test last week. Each passed and is now a li-censed cosmetologist!

Cosmetology instructor Pam Warner said the students were serious about the upcoming test and studied hard. Their efforts truly paid off. They needed a minimum score of 75% to pass, but each scored 93% or above in the hands-on test, and 89% or above in the written test. The test can consist of a variety of questions, so the students must pre-pare well for all the skills covered in their book.

The students felt so confi dent in their skills that they thanked Warner and her fellow instructor Lynn Keefer for preparing them so well. “They let us know we prepared them well and they knew exactly what was expected of them,” said Warner.

“I was extremely proud of their professionalism and their endurance during their testing time. It is so rewarding as a teacher to watch their faces when they open their envelopes and see how good they did,” said Warner.

Congratulations to the following Mc-Cormick Junior High students for earn-ing the “Student of the Month” title for February: Kaelin Cockrell, 7th grade & Danzell Harris, 8th grade.

McCormick Principal, 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 follow-ing criteria: attendance, attitude, work-manship, growth and improvement, classroom behavior and work comple-tion,” stated Mr. Carter, McCormick Principal. The Student of the Month candidates are nominated by the grade level teachers and selected by Mr. Carter and the McCormick staff.

EHOVE students have the opportunity to belong to student organizations. Like most schools, there is Student Council, where students have an active voice in what happens with ac-tivities and events, but EHOVE offers even more. Each of the organizations offers students the opportunity to participate in local, regional, state and national competitive events, and encourages students to give back to the community through various community service activities.

This is competition season, so a large number of EHOVE stu-dents are busy creating and improving their presentations and projects. The competition categories are quite varied through-out the organizations. There’s everything from technical math to mock interviews, and fi rst aid to advertising design. Many students in a recent SkillsUSA local competition advanced to

the regional competition. They hope to win at the upcoming regional event and join a long list of previous EHOVE students that have qualifi ed for the national competitions. If they suc-ceed, they’ll be able to travel to Nationals and compete against the other regional winners from all over the U.S. Keep watching the News Center at www.ehove.netfor updates on t he students’ competitions and community service projects.

Nino Majoy (junior) and Matt King (se-nior) represented Huron this past week at the Division III State Championships held in Columbus, OH. Matt fi nished another

successful season with a second straight trip to state. His fi rst match on Friday was against Zeb Beam of Waynedale in which he lost by fall. But he came right back to

win his second match against Devin Cart-wright of Mohawk. King’s third match was a 1-6 defeat at the hands of Aaron Yonker of Garretsville Garfi eld.

Nino opened his title bid against Danny Richards of Garaway which he won 2-1 in overtime. His next opponent was Michal Stenger of Clinton Massie. Stenger placed 6th in the State last year and knocked Ma-joy out of tourney in 2010. But Nino exact-ed his revenge with a 4-3 OT UTB(ultimate tiebreaker). In the semi-fi nals, Majoy faced Clint Endicott from Crestview who fi nished 7th in State last year. Unfortuneately, Ma-joy got caught on his back and was pinned.

Majoy’s fi rst match on Saturday pitted him against Zach Srock of Doylestown Chippewa which he won 3-0. This set up his fi nal match. He claimed his 3rd place fi nish in match versus Aaron Silverio of Shayside and won a 2-1 victory.

It was Huron’s best fi nish in over 15 years. Majoy fi nished the season at 49-4. All four losses were to wrestlers who wrestled in the State fi nals this season. They included Clint Endicott and Mimmo Lytle in DIII Finals, and Trevor Strickland who wrestled in the DII Finals. (He lost to Lytle twice dur-ing the season and split with Endicott and Strickland) He is supremely confi dent that

hard work during the off season will pay big dividends next year.
