Huron Salutes Chief GlovinskyMay 1, 2009 marked the end of a 30 year career in law

enforcement for Chief Randy Glovinsky. Randy always knew he wanted to be a policeman and started out at Cedar Point Police Department, moving to Huron Po-lice Department part-time and then full-time in 1980. He has served as Police Chief since 1991.

When asked about his most memorable experiences during his tenure, Randy said one of the things he is most proud of is being a part of helping to create the Erie County Drug Task Force with law enforcement of-fi cials from surrounding communities. This group of well trained detectives were very proactive in trying to rid Erie County of the many problems that result from drug traffi c in the area. Chief Glovinsky was able to use the training and education he received as a member of the task force to the benefi t of the police department and the citizens of Huron.

There have been many changes in law enforcement over the years, not the least of which is an increase in the amount of education the offi cers now have. This advanced education and training are part of the reason that the department never faced a lawsuit while Randy was chief. Implementing the DARE program, Cop Cards, Bike Patrol and Marine Patrol are some of the other accomplishments he will remember.

Randy says he will miss the people he worked with as well as the citizens he served, the law enforcement community and politicians he met over the years. He intends to enjoy the summer off

before deciding what to do next. We salute you Chief Glovinsky, for your dedicated service to the com-

munity. We join with the citizens of Huron in wishing you the best!

Itching to plant? Let’s go AS LONG AS THE SOIL IS DRY

___SPRING HARVEST1. Tired of salad greens? Seed or plant

summer veggies2. Leave 1” of greens, lettuce and

spinach-may re-grow3. Pull green onions4. Pull kohlrabi, cut off stems, peel, slice,

eat fresh5. Pull rhubarb stalks and use stalks only6. Harvest asparagus by cutting at ground

level

___SUMMER VEGETABLES TAKE OVER1. Tired of salad greens? Seed or plant

summer veggies

2. You need to re-nourish your soil -Apply a layer of compost in row or over bed -Sprinkle with organic fertilizer -Till or hand spade in; Dig deeply,

Tread lightly3. Examples -Seed 10’ of bean seeds where the spinach grew -Plant late potatoes where the radishes were4. Plant early, main and late season

of some crops -Corn -Beans, snap or lima (late varieties NA)

___COMPANION PLANT WHEREVER FEASIBLE

1. Neighbors can help each other in many ways

2. Get those herbs in with vegetablesExamples: basil helps pepper or tomato lovage with beans bee balm with tomato marigold & potato, rose or tomato

Recently while think-ing about the hope of evenings with friends on the patio, I decided to research what types of plants would be great to have around the patio, simply to enjoy

their fragrance. We know that white plants show up best at night, and are best planted near lights to again help brighten the eve-ning, but the problem was fi nding the right type of plant to put near those lights and to have near our seating areas.

The following annuals are available locally as seeds or on the Internet in catalog form as plants. First, consider moonfl owers, Ipom-oea Alba, which come in bush form as well as vines, and both are planted from seeds. The vine grows to 15 feet tall, with large 6” morn-

ing glory-like blooms in the purest white. Occasionally these can be found as seedlings, so check around locally.

Tuberoses or Polianthes tuberosa are bulbs with a truly fragrant scent. Plant in contain-ers or in the nearby garden about 3” deep, and dig up the bulbs in the fall for storage before the fi rst heavy frost. The fl owers re-mind me of double white gladiolus.

Nicotiana or Nicotiana alata’ is a tall annu-al which grows to 5’ tall, and tubular fl owers that smell like a cross between jasmine and freesia.

Datura is a tender perennial, which means it is hardy in Zone 6. The trumpets are the purest of white, and the blooms reach 8” across. The plant is very thirsty, requiring 1 gallon of water a day in a 16” pot. It starts blooming in mid June, and can be taken in-side for the winter in a cool room to hold un-

til next spring. My experience with the plant is great, and the growth in one year had the plant having 42 trumpet fl owers at one time. It’s a great show piece, good on a patio, and a great attention getter. The plant grew to 5’ tall and 6’ wide in one season.

We have one perennial here in U.S. Zone 5, and that is the wisteria fl oribunda. It is a hard plant to get started, usually blooming in 3-5 years, but once started you will love the long purple/white clusters of fl owers. It would be wise to get one that is already in bloom when you purchase it. Plant it along-side the edge of a patio for best exposure.

Lastly, each year my husband and I plant Four o’clocks, Mirabilis Jalapa, near the patio as well. It has multicolored blooms, and they open around 4PM each day. They love full sun but can survive partial shade. There is a lemon scent that is pleasing in the evening.

It’s time now to design your patio, so have fun with scents this summer. Happy Gar-dening.

Maximize Your ResultsKEN CUTCHERPERSONAL TRAINER ANYTIME FITNESS HURON AND SANDUSKY

We all want to make sure that we’re getting the most out of our fi tness program. Here are a few tips to help you maximize your results.

1. Set Goals. You need to have a clear idea of what you’re trying to accomplish. Set both short-term and long-term goals that are both clear and measurable.

2. Record Everything. Get yourself a journal and record everything that you do in the gym (exercises, sets, reps, weights, rest periods, etc.). Keep track of your weight, body fat percentage, and girth measurement at regular intervals as well.

3. Push Your Limits. Strive to set a new record every time you enter the gym. Increase the weight or do one more repetition for a given exercise. Rest less in between your sets. It doesn’t have to be major, but it should always be more than you did before.

4. Keep Things Fresh. Change things up every once in a while. Your body will get used to doing the same thing over and over. Modify your workout routine every four weeks or so to keep your body off balance and maintain the effectiveness of your workouts.

5. Eat a Balanced Diet. No matter how hard you train, you can’t out-train a bad diet. Eat 5-6 small meals per day. Keep sugars down to a minimum and eat more whole grains. Always eat plenty of fruits and veggies. They’re low in calories and will keep you feeling full. Not to mention they’re rich in vitamins and nutrients.

For more information on this and other fi tness related topics contact Ken Cutcher at SanduskyOH@anytimefi tness.com or just stop by at Anytime Fitness in Sandusky or Huron and check us out.

FTMC Quality Assurance Coordinator Passes Exam

Sarah Maurer, Quality Assurance Coor-dinator in Fisher-Titus Medical Center’s Patient Access Department, has success-fully passed the exam to become a Certifi ed Healthcare Access Associate (CHAA).

This is the only nationally recognized cer-tifi cation of its kind in the fi eld of Patient Access Services. It certifi es that Maurer has demonstrated knowledge in the areas of admissions and registrations, patient rights and responsibilities, customer service, in-surance and fi nancial information and laws and regulations which affect patient access services.

Maurer has been employed at Fisher-Titus Medical Center in Norwalk since 2003. As quality assurance coordinator, she checks registrations for accuracy, con-veys new policies or procedures to fellow employees, writes procedures, and answers

questions regarding different aspects of the registration process. Maurer also coordi-nates training of new employees in the Pa-tient Access Department.

Gutter Topper ® ends gutter cleaning forever

Eliminate gutter cleaning forever ... guaranteed ™

Mike Shanks of Gutter Cover Company shows how easy and safe your life can be without having to clean your gutters again! Call 440-366-0688 for a free estimate today! This is a paid advertisement.

Tired of cleaning your gutters? Afraid of getting up on the roof?

Protect yourself from injury and save a ton of work and worry...let Gutter Topper ® put an end to clogged gutters ... FOREVER! Owner Mike Shanks gets a lot of smiles from satisfied customers because he has just installed Gutter Topper ® , the simple solution to gutter pollution.

The Gutter Cover Company will install Gutter Topper ® over your existing gutters and you’ll never be on a ladder again-at least not to clean out your clogged gutters.

Gutter Topper ® has an exclusive, patented clip-on system that will attach to your gutters without unsightly hangers or brackets.

After installing Gutter Topper ®

water will flow into your gutters with

leaves and other debris falling to the ground with no chance of clogging your gutters EVER AGAIN!

“Best of all, Gutter Topper ® carries a lifetime, transferable, performance warranty on the finish,” according to owner Mike Shanks. In addition, it is the only gutter protection that has been independently tested to resist 110 mph hurricane force winds, will take 22 inches of rain per hour and has a weight resistance of 1,200 pounds per square foot.

This is very important when ice and snow buildup in the gutter during the winter. Both are the biggest enemy a gutter can have over the years and is often unseen until it’s too late. By then the damage is already done and can be extremely costly to repair. In case you didn’t know, most homeowner’s

insurance doesn’t cover damage caused by clogged gutters.

Gutter Topper ® is manufactured in Batavia, Ohio by a family-owned company that has the highest quality standards.

People are often unaware of the danger of being on a ladder. Last year there were over 175,000 falls from ladders and with over 300 deaths. “Those that survived spent an average of $2,500 in medical costs, prescription drugs and therapy - more than many people spend on gutter protection systems,” reports Mike.
