Senior Rory Kaip plants a tree re-cently at a Huron event. Each senior helps to “plant” the tree representing their year by pouring a little water on it, with the help of a coach. The seniors also presented a check to the Michael Danilo family that evening. For their Senior Legacy they raised funds for the family because Danilo is suffering from Lou Gehrig’s Disease and Dani-lo’s son, Sam, is on the football team.

BY LISA YAKO OF HISTORICAL RESEARCH PARTNERS

I fi rst encountered 19th Century Huron resi-dent, Tower Jackson, several years ago and was so intrigued by his name that I wanted to know something about him. Yet, what is in a name? According to dictionary.com, the word tower can mean: “one that conspicuously embodies strength, fi rmness, or another virtue.” After re-searching the many facets of his life, I can truly say that Tower Jackson lived up to his name.

Tower Jackson was born in Woodstock, Vt., on Nov. 23, 1798 to Morris I. Jackson and Lucinda Sheldon. In 1804, the Jackson family moved to Hudson, New York, and then settled in Cleve-land in 1817. In 1819, Tower Jackson moved to Norwalk and gained employment as a clerk in the store of George and Ralph Lockwood in Norwalk. The Lockwood brothers relocated their store to Milan, and Tower moved also. Around 1820, Tower settled in Huron. He in-vested in various businesses in Huron, his fi rst being a dry goods and grocery store. For this venture, he partnered with Henry W. Jenkins. This partnership continued for a few years.

About 1830, Tower built the Huron House hotel on the northwest corner of Main and Wall streets. Around this same time, Tower en-tered into a partnership with Richard E. Colt. These two entrepreneurs invested considerable money in a variety of businesses, most notably in the building of ships. In 1833, they fi nanced the building of the 170-ton steamer Delaware. She was ready in 1834 and sold to a company in Detroit. From around 1834 through 1841, Tower served as the postmaster in Huron. He

was required to make a weekly trip to Cleveland to get the mail. For his efforts, Tower was paid $175 per year. In 1840, he built another hotel, the American House.

Tower remained in Huron until 1846 when he moved to Racine, Wisc. Prior to leaving Ohio, Tower became associated with John James Speed and Ezra Cornell, who were instrumen-tal in the creation of the telegraph. Tower, along with Speed, Cornell and others, erected and successfully operated more than 5,000 miles of telegraph line in New York, Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Wisconsin and Illinois. Tower also laid 100 miles of telegraph line from Cleveland to Newcastle, Pa., and was paid $20 per mile.

In 1848, he moved to Brooklyn, Ohio, just outside of Cleveland, where he lived with his brother, Morris, and some extended family. Tower was listed as one of eight directors of the Erie and Michigan Telegraph Company in 1849. In the 1850 census, Tower listed his oc-cupation as telegraph agent.

By 1852, Tower again changed careers. He was named the fi rst mining agent of the Cleveland Iron Company. Tower was sent to Marquette, Mich., to determine how to extract iron ore from a newly-discovered source and then bring it to the lakeshore for shipping. This was a daunting task, which Tower solved by erecting a plank road from the top of the mountain where the iron was located to the lakeshore.

Though Tower was replaced as mining agent in June of 1853, 1,449 tons of iron ore was shipped to Cleveland for processing in 1855 because of Tower’s efforts in building the plank road. The fi rst load that was shipped was 120

tons and was carried by the two-masted brig, Columbia. The Columbia was the fi rst vessel to pass through the Sault Canal between Lake Superior and Lake Huron. She reached her des-tination of Cleveland on June 18, 1855. Tower returned to Ohio and again changed careers. From 1860-1870, he was living in Huron and listed his occupation as farmer on the United States census. At the time of the 1880 census when he was 81 years old, Tower listed his oc-cupation as capitalist.

Tower’s personal life was just as interesting as his professional life. In 1822, he married Sarah Clock of Monroeville. She bore him several chil-dren, but only one, Sarah Elizabeth (Griffi th), lived to adulthood. Sarah Clock Jackson died in 1854, while living in Cleveland. In 1856, Tower married Lucy M. Button and then returned to Huron.

Tower was named one of the fi rst vestrymen of Christ Episcopal Church after the church was offi cially organized in 1839. While living in Cleveland, Tower joined forces with other aboli-tionists to help runaway slaves fi nd freedom, an effort he often supported with his own money. After returning to Huron, he was named a lay delegate for Christ Church in 1862, and again named to the vestry in 1865.

Tower died in Huron in 1891 in his 93rd year. He was buried in the Erie Street Cemetery in Cleveland. According to Tower’s obituary, he was “a man of wonderful vigor, both mentally and physically.” Further, “He was prompt in all business enterprises, and contributed more largely to the early prosperity of Huron than any other resident.”

Admirals Pointe and The Huron Hometown News ask for your help to Light up Huron. In cooperation with the Lighthouse Assembly of God Church we announce a charity silent auc-tion to assist in helping the needy of our com-munity. Lighthouse Church is celebrating 15 years as the Salvation Army’s service unit for Huron. They currently assist 135 families with food, clothing, baby needs, and many other items. Utilizing 6 rooms in the church to store donated food and supplies, everything is dis-tributed in the Huron community alone.

The Light up Huron silent auction takes place on Sunday, December 12th with a wine and

cheese party. Donations for auction should include decorated Christmas trees and/or wreathes. This will be a fun event with a com-petition and awards for best theme tree and best overall tree. We encourage companies, groups, and individuals to get involved. Trees can be donated and set up between November 15th and November 21st. Viewing begins No-vember 22nd to auction time.

BEHIND THE BADGE

BY JOHN T. MAJOYCHIEF OF POLICE

Halloween is one of the most excit-ing times of the year for children, but sometimes the most hectic for par-ents. The City of Huron has sched-uled trick-or-treat from 5 to 7 p.m., Sunday, Oct. 31. The Huron Police Department will have extra offi cers patrolling during these times to help keep children safe.

Nearly 94 percent of children be-tween the ages of 4 and 12 partici-pate in Halloween activities each year. Parents need to take a moment to

consider basic safety precautions that will make Halloween a safer night of fun.

• CHOOSE bright, fl ame-retardant costumes or add refl ective tape to cos-tumes and candy bags so children are easily seen in the dark. In addition, carry a glow stick or fl ashlight.

• PLAN a trick-or-treating route in familiar neighborhoods with well-lit streets. Avoid unfamiliar neighbor-hoods, streets that are isolated, or homes that are poorly lit inside or outside.

• NEVER send young children out alone. They should always be accom-

panied by a par-ent or another trusted adult. Older children should always travel in groups.

• ALWAYS walk younger children to the door to re-ceive treats and don’t let children enter a home unless you are with them.

• BE SURE children do not ap-proach any vehicle, occupied or not, unless you are with them.

• MAKE sure children know their home phone number and address in case you get separated. Teach • children how to call 911 in an emergency.

• TEACH children to say “NO!” or “this is not my mother/father” in a loud voice if someone tries to get them to go somewhere, accept anything other than a treat, or leave with them. And teach them that they should make every effort to get away by kicking, scream-ing and resisting.

• REMIND children to re-main alert and report suspi-cious incidents to parents and/or law enforcement.

The safety of our children is vital year round, but Hal-loween is an especially im-portant time for parents and children to pay extra attention to their surround-ings and not let their guard down. Parents need to ex-ercise a few basic safety pre-cautions to help ensure that Halloween is both fun and safe.

Get kids ready to safely celebrate Halloween

Soprano Margo Watson and baritone Gregg Busch join pianist Stuart Raleigh on Nov. 14 for an afternoon of Broadway favorites ranging from “My Fair Lady” and “West Side Story” to “The Music Man” and “Phantom of the Opera.”

Tickets are almost sold out for this performance, presented by the Firelands Symphony. It begins at 4 p.m. in the sanctuary of Sts. Peter and Paul Catholic Church in Sandusky. Tickets will not be available at the door, so to ensure a gener-al admission seat, call the Sandusky State Theatre box offi ce at 419-626-1950 or 1-877-626-1950 or access the symphony’s secure Web site at www.sanduskystate.com. Tickets are $26 for adults, $24 for seniors and $10 for students.

Watson is that rare performer who moves easily between concert and theater halls. The Salt Lake Tribune recently re-viewed: “Few sopranos can match Margo Watson’s range of expression and vo-cal talent... With her clean, pristine... yet lyrical and supple voice, she can do it all – from Baroque to Gershwin, and she does

it magnifi cently.” As the featured soloist with numerous

orchestras, Watson has performed in many shows, including a salute to An-drew Lloyd Webber, Irving Berlin clas-sics, “A Jellicle Night – Cats in Concert,” “Mary Poppins In Concert,” a salute to Gershwin, “Broadway’s Best” and “An Evening of Gilbert and Sullivan.” Watson has appeared numerous times with the Utah Symphony as a soloist in Handel’s “Messiah” and presenting music rang-ing from classic Viennese favorites to the tunes of Lerner and Lowe and Rodgers and Hammerstein. She has released sev-eral CDs and toured extensively through-out the U.S. and abroad.

Gregg Busch has performed across genres from opera to Broadway, Off-Broadway, regional theater and concerts with leading orchestras. As a concert so-loist, his performances have taken him throughout the U.S., Europe and Asia, where he has performed with the New York Philharmonic, Buffalo Philharmon-ic, Boston Pops, Colorado Symphony and

the Cleveland Pops Orchestra. He has also appeared at music festivals at Tangle-wood, Marlboro and the Aspen. Busch reprised his role of the Non Credo solo-ist in a special production of Bernstein’s “Mass” at the Vatican in Rome, presented as part of the Jubilee Celebration. He was also featured as part of the Taormina Arts Festival in Messina, Sicily, singing a trib-ute to the American musical.

Busch was invited to perform for former Presidents Reagan and Carter and sang with the legendary Frank Sinatra. He was chose to perform the musical tribute for John Raitt in a lifetime achievement award presentation during the Ovation Awards in Los Angeles.

Tickets are still available for the sym-phony’s Dec. 12 family concert, “Holiday Spectacular,” featuring Broadway star and Sandusky native Lynne Wintersteller and the Terra Choral Society. A 30-minute “Conversation with the Conductor and Guest Artists” begins one hour before both the November and December per-formances.

HURON TOWNSHIP – Erie County Law Enforcement, in concert with the Lake Erie Lodge of the Fraternal Order of Police are hosting a Policeman’s Ball fundraiser for two local charities. The Nov. 13 event will be held at the Sawmill Creek Resort in Huron and the proceeds will benefi t the United Way of Erie County and the Boys and Girls Club of America. Tickets are on sale now.

“There are local families that need our help and that is what we intend to do,” said committee member Dawn Borzon. “We are working on the notion of ‘Law Enforcement Gives Back’ as the foundation of this event. This is an opportunity for law enforcement to give back to families in Erie County.”

The fundraiser will consist of a formal dinner and dance to the music of The Cocobe-anos. There will be a silent auction of gift baskets donated by residents and businesses in Erie County.

The two benefi ciaries — United Way of Erie County and the Boys and Girls Club ofAmerica – will be able to use the money toward programs that will benefi t Erie County

families.“We are excited to be a part of the Policeman’s Ball as it will help us provide Christmas

presentsto local children and needy families” said Pamela J. Col-

bert Brumbaugh, executive director of United Way of Erie County. Locally, United Way has funded many local agen-cies and continues to work toward its mission to increase the organized capacity for people to care for one another.

The Boys and Girls Club of Erie County is an organiza-tion whose mission is to provide youths between 6 and 17 with a safe and nurturing environment during non school hours and in the summer months. Club Trustee Leslie Murray feels the money donated will help them sustain their programs.

The event is open to the public. Tickets are $50 each and can be purchased now at the information desk at the Mad River Harley Davidson on Milan Road or via e mail at ecpolicemansball@gmail.com. The event has a Facebook page where individuals can visit to get further informa-tion.

On Saturday, the 2009 Division III defending state champion Hu-ron Tigers opened their title defense against a familiar SBC opponent, the Port Clinton Redskins, at Huron High School. The home team beat PC 3-0 to offi cially claim their share of the SBC crown.

This match against the Redskins offered the Tigers little trouble ex-cept during the second game. The visitors jumped out to a 10-5 lead, forcing Huron coach Don Wood to call timeout when his team was not playing sharp ball. The Lady Tigers struggled between two and four points down until Kat Ferrell unleashed a kill and Taryn Graham fi red an ace to force a Port Clinton timeout. Huron was now trailing by just a single point at 15-16. The Red-skin came out of the break with one last gasp to go up 18-15. But Ferrell put an end to that with another kill

that started the Tigers off on a 9-4 run to close game two out with a 25-22 win.

Huron opened the fi nal game with a vengeance by taking a 10-0 lead before the Port Clin-ton could muster their fi rst point. The Tigers took the match 3-0 (25-13, 25-22, 25-7). Taylor Slauterbeck led the Tigers with 13 kills with Fer-rell contributing with 12 of her own. Samantha Wechter (19) and Sydney Grendow (11) combined for 30 assists. Justine Butler had 14 digs while Han-nah Figgins and Taryn Graham chipped in with nine a piece.

The Tigers, now 18-5, will face New London this week in Willard, hopefully en route to a third shot at the Margaretta Polar Bears in a District fi nal showdown.

Q: When and how did you fi rst pick up the game of golf?

A: I began playing every once in a while with my grandma, but didn’t become seri-ous about the game until my freshman year.

Q: What are your strengths as a golfer? What do you still need to work on?

A: My strength is the distance I can hit the ball, whether it’s with my driver or my long irons. I still need to work more on my put-ting.

Q: Have you set goals for yourself for this season?

A: Yes, my biggest goal was to get back to state and place higher than we did last year, which we were able to do (team fi nished fourth)!

do try and spend a lot of time working on my golf game though.

Q: What are your plans following the Huron High School years? What role do you think golf will play?

A: I am thinking about teaching or may-be going into profess ional golf manage-ment. I hope to continue playing golf while in col-lege.

Q: Tell me s o m e t h i n g that you want to try/see/go to that you never have and why?

A: I would love to get a hole in one!!!

Gene Leon TrombleeJune 26, 1934 - Oct. 21, 2010Gene Leon Tromblee, 76 of Seabrook

Texas, passed away in Clear Lake Regional Medical Center Thursday, October 21, 2010 from a brief illness. He was born on June 26, 1934 in Nashwauk Minnesota on the Mesabi Range to Rose and Leon Tromblee.

Gene was a 1952 graduate of Huron High School and then graduated from Case Western Reserve in 1956 with a Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering and from Texas A & M in 1970 with a Masters in Engineering. His professional career as a chemical engineer included Amoco Oil, Universal Oil Products, Monsanto and pri-or to retirement in 1991, Vice President of Operations for Sterling Chemical.

Mr. Tromblee is preceded in death, in ad-dition to his parents, by his son James Scott Tromblee. He is survived by his loving wife and devoted companion of 52 years, Donna Tromblee; daughter Jody Ann Young and husband, David of St. Louis Missouri; son John Thomas Tromblee of West Hollywood California; grandchildren Amye Metcalf of Kansas City Missouri, Sara Young of Boul-der Colorado, and Alex Young of Steamboat Springs Colorado; sisters Patricia Duck of

Sandusky Ohio, Vickie Kennison of Tampa Florida, and Conni Vianco of Lafayette In-diana; and other relatives which include numerous nieces and nephews.

He was a member of St. Mary’s Catholic Church in League City Texas. His honors and awards include: Texas A & M Univer-sity, Department of Chemical Engineer-ing for endowed gifts to The J. D. Lindsay Scholars Program (1990) and the C. D. Holland Scholars Program (2009); People of Vision Award, Man of Vision’ for service to the Galveston Gulf Coast area (1991); U.S. Small Business administration for out-standing performance (1998); Proclama-tion from Charles T.

Gene was a beloved husband, devoted father, compassionate brother, and caring friend. He savored and enjoyed life through his travels, family, and friends. His commit-ment to his faith and concern for his fellow man was evident in his charitable contribu-tions of both time and money. He was re-

spected and admired for his civic leadership and for his contributions to the progress of many Texas communities. Gene was truly a successful man. Ralph Waldo Emerson ex-pressed it best, “To laugh often and much; To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; To leave the world a better place... To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.”

The family received friends on Sun-day October 24, 2010 at Crowder Funeral Home, Webster Texas with a memorial service conducted on Monday, October 25, 2010 in St. Mary’s Catholic Church, League City Texas, Father Howard Drabek offi ciat-ing.

OBITUARY

In 2008, Christine Morehart became burdened with the reality of local families that may be going without because of job loss, foreclosure or other fi nancial hardships. Some-thing had to be done, and while she knew there was not going to be a cure for every economic woe, there could be relief and help given. Other people who Morehart knew through church felt the same way.

So a plan was made to deliver complete, ready-to-cook meals to area families for Thanksgiving. Through pulling resources with friends at the chapel and some help from the Nehemiah Partners of Sandusky to help identify indi-viduals in need, 15 local families were able to be helped that year.

In 2009, the push was to grow the outreach so that more families could be helped through having a community meal, but it was not to be. Despite efforts to grow the out-reach, doors were shut on the program. It seemed that the community meal would have to wait ... that is until 2010. Pastor Mike Cheek of The Sandusky Community Church of the Nazarene met with the Moreharts to hear about the vision, and accepted the challenge on behalf of his church.

So this Thanksgiving, those in need in the community can go the Nazarene church, located at 1617 Milan Road in Sandusky in the former IAB Club. The meal will be held on Thankgiving Day, from 1:30 to 4 p.m., and the meal is free. Cheek introduced Morehart to Rose Bailey from the church, who along with other members, has been in-strumental, diligent and visionary in their desire to see this mission come to pass.

“The meal will be designed so that people know that God loves them, and that we love them too, and that they are not forgotten.” Morehart told her congregation during ser-

vices. “We want to serve them in a way so that they leave the experience knowing they are special. We have the goal of feeding 800 people on Thankgiving Day.”

Her husband Mark says that regardless of whether people are in a fi nancial poverty, spiritual poverty, or just a pov-erty of loneliness, the outreach is there to help for a day. “The needs are increased this year, and even Victory Kitch-en (a food provider for the Homeless in Sandusky) has cut back due to a drop in donations. This makes the meal even more important for the community.”

On Nov. 4 at Skateworld / Ghostly Manor Thrill Center, a benefi t concert will be held, featuring the band “Unforsak-en” to help Harvest of the Heart and Victory Kitchen. Also, there has also been a Web site set up for the Celebration of Harvest of the Heart, www.feedsandusky.com. The web page is devoted exclusively to Christ-centered, food based ministries in the area. Anyone who would like to have their ministry listed on the site (for free) can contact the Feed Sandusky group directly through the site.

This is a very practical way to reach out and help some-one in our community. Families or businesses are welcome to get involved. No good deed is too small. If you want to help or even if you want to be helped, please call Christine at 419 515 0423 or Email to Join@FeedSandusky.com and see how you can serve.

The students of Shawnee Elementary and Woodlands In-termediate Schools are participating in the Annual Ameri-can Heart Association Jump Rope for Heart event. Stu-dents are jumping rope the next couple of weeks during their physical education classes to raise money to donate to the American Heart Asso-ciation.

The American Heart Association in return uses the money to help people suffering from all forms of heart disease. In ad-dition to jumping rope, the Huron students are learning the importance of a healthy diet, exercise and the roles they play on a healthy heart. For more information about the

event, go to www.americanheart.org. To help support the Huron students, consider donating to a neighborhood stu-

dent or contact Dana Skavnak, physical education teacher, at either school by calling 419-433-1234.

On Oct. 1, the students of Woodlands In-termediate School participated in a Mini Relay for Life cancer awareness program that resulted in more than $1,200 in dona-tions to the American Cancer Society.

Special guest speaker, Shawnee Elemen-tary School Principal Tanny Vonthron re-layed a heartwarming, inspiring message to all her special friends and former students how “cancer is like an accident” as a means of keeping it age appropriate.

Survivors that included staff members, community members, parents, grandpar-ents; caretakers and loved ones kicked off the walk with the “Survivor’s Lap”. Home-room classes joined the walk as well. Each classroom had a theme as they competed for the grade-level title. Winners for the most spirited classrooms were: third-grade, Patty Bollenbacher; fourth-grade, Molly Ryan and Tracy Harbal; fi fth-grade

Patrick Norwell; and sixth-grade, Rebecca Hoffman. All the homeroom classrooms were paired up with a Baker’s Buddy from the high School Band.

Woodlands students asked family mem-bers or relatives to purchase moons or stars for one dollar. Names were placed on the moons or stars in honor of or in memory of an individual that has had or is battling cancer. The moons and stars remain hang-ing in the school to signify the community’s support in fi ghting the disease.

The American Cancer Society provided the school with a variety of educational posters and materials about making healthy choices about tobacco, physical activity, nu-trition, and sun exposure. This program was made possible by dedicated commu-nity members such as: Anytime Fitness; Baker’s Buddies; Huron Browns Backers; Huron PTO; Huron Police Department; Firelands Regional Medical Center; Fisher-Titus, Stein Hospice; Subway – Huron; and

Wendy’s – Huron. All proceeds were given to the American Cancer Society.

Band Director Christine Scherley, Huron PTO and the Baker’s Buddies were the in-ternal organizers of this event, which drew support from the entire Woodland’s staff and student body. The Baker’s Buddies are a group of 22 band members, who for community service hours, not only helped in the organization of the Mini Relay, but also participate in the American Cancer Society’s overnight event, Relay for Life. To date, Woodland’s Intermediate School has raised more than $1,200 for the American Cancer Society this year. Monetary dona-tions made out to the American Cancer Society in support of these events are con-tinually accepted at Woodlands Intermedi-ate School.

Another beautiful Friday evening and Hu-ron Memorial Stadium at Kalahari Field was playing host to a nice crowd for Senior Night. The visiting team from Margaretta was here looking for their fi rst win against the Tigers in more than a decade. A big win over Oak Har-bor last week, and a loss by Clyde, had placed Huron in a three-way tie on top of the SBC and

in the hunt for the playoffs, if the Tigers win out. Even though Polar Bears came in with only 4-4 record, it was well known that they had played well all year against some of the league’s best teams and just fallen short. They were determined not to let it happen again.

The Margaretta offense was led by an out-standing young quarterback named Devin

Jones. On their fi rst drive, the visitors moved the ball well but seemed to stall when faced with a 4th and 6 on the Huron 38-yard line. But in a scene that played out the same way too many times on Friday night, the Polar Bears would go for it and make the fi rst down. Three plays later, the Huron defense yet again forced another fourth down, this time on the 30-yard line. And once again, Margaretta went for it. But this time, Jones rolls out to his right and found a receiver 30 yards down fi eld for a touchdown. And on it went from there. The Polar Bears would not use their punter until late in the fourth quarter and never turned the ball over on downs.

Now, for much of the game, the Huron of-fense was almost as productive as the Marga-retta offense (364 yards to 459). On the Ti-ger’s very fi rst play from scrimmage, QB Brian Bollenbacher hits Jake Hillman down the left sideline for a 70-yard touchdown strike. The problem was getting the offense time on the fi eld. The Polar Bears only allowed Huron four offensive plays the entire fi rst quarter.

The Tiger defense struggled with the Jones led offense all night long. He closed out the fi rst quarter with a 35-yard touchdown strike on yet another fourth down play. And the second quarter wasn’t much better. Every time Marga-retta faced a fourth down or a tough situation, QB Jones bailed the visitors out either with his feet or a nice pass to a wide open receiver. The Polar Bears mounted long drive after long drive. The only time Huron had defensive suc-cess all evening was on two-point conversion attempts in which the Tigers stopped every one tried by Margaretta. At the end of the fi rst half, the home team trailed 24-13.

Huron opened the second half with the ball. Bollenbacher hit Sean Fantozz for a 64-yard pass play to the Polar Bear eight. A few plays later, Bo ran in the second of his three one-yard touchdown runs to pull Huron to within fi ve, 24-19. But, the Margaretta offense wouldn’t be

denied and again mounted another long, time consuming drive that culminated in a half yard touchdown run by Corey Yontz. Now trailing 30-19, Huron gets the ball back.

At the start of the fourth period, the Tigers once again fought their way into Margaretta territory on the 18. Bollenbacher scrambled his way down to the one-yard line. Once again, he sneaks it in for six points and a 30-25 defi -cit after a failed two-point conversion attempt. But Huron again lost ground as the Polar Bears had another successful drive that ended with their quarterback dashing around the right end for a nine-yard touchdown for their fi nal score of the night and a 36-25 lead.

With 8:23 left in the game, Bollenbacher found Hillman open for a 54-yard touchdown pass down the left sideline to again pull within six points, 36-31. The Huron defense fi nally made their fi rst stop of the night, but Marga-retta really accomplished what they needed to by taking considerable time off the clock with a few fi rst downs. The Tigers forced a punt. With just 2:53 left in the game, Bollenbacher started the offense from their own fi ve-yard line. He completed passes to Brandon Krueger and to Hillman. Then he ran to mid-fi eld with 2:04 left. Following an incomplete pass and a sack, Huron fi red the ball down the right sideline, but has it picked off that essentially ends the game.

Bollenbacher had a big night with three rushing and two throwing touchdowns. WR Jake Hillman caught both touchdowns and also had 124 receiving yards. Sean Fantozz caught two passes for 65 yards while Justin Hicks rushed for 73 yards on 14 carries. Coach Legando reminded the young men to stand with heads held high, with dignity, and that in the grand scheme of things, this was just a football game.

Huron will close out their regular season next week at Port Clinton. For more game photos, go to www.huronhometownnews.com.

The High School Tigers Cross Country team contin-ued to prove what an impres-sive group of young individu-als they are as they competed in the district meet at Galion last Saturday. Most of the Varsity squad ran faster than they ever have on that course before, and eight of them ran a personal best.

The men’s team ended their season with a very strong performance at the meet, placing 10th as a team. They were led by Freshman Kevin Tomczyk (33rd) clocking a course best of 18:21. Sopho-more Jake Ramey (50th) and Freshman Brennan Cockrell (51st) pushed each other to run their personal best times of the season at 18:48 and 18:50. Freshman Nathan Zeck (61st), after being out injured for a majority of the season, still managed to run his personal best of 19:11. Ju-nior Michael Post (70th) and Freshman Will Koenig (74th) ran course bests of 20:32 and 21:01. Wrapping up the var-sity race with a 21: 37 was Stephen Tomczyk (77th), who has also been out with injury most of the season.

The Lady Tigers placed third, qualifying them to compete at the regional meet. They were led by a de-termined Morgan Mize, who earned 5th place and a per-sonal best of 20:02 this week. Following Morgan for the Tigers were Junior Maureen Giardina (18th), who ran her personal best time of 21:41; and Senior Rachel Miller (20th) with a course best time of 21:48. Junior Lynsie Schwerer (25th) and Fresh-man Brianna Lewis-Griffaw (26th) worked together to race their personal bests of 22:05 and 22:09, respectively. Freshman Katy Evers (42nd) ran her course best in 23:18 and Senior Jessica Majoy (44th) ran her personal best of 23:36.

The ladies will be compet-ing in the regional meet at Hedges Boyer Park in Tiffi n this Saturday, starting at 1:20 p.m. and the community is encouraged to come out and support them in their efforts.

“Welcome Fishermen.” The yard signs are all over Huron right now. Why are they dis-played? This is the time of the year that Huron becomes the mecca of walleye fi shing all over the country. Mecca is a pretty strong word, but it really is true.

License plates around Huron from all over the Midwest and beyond will be seen from now ‘til mid-December because of this fi shery. This has been happening for as long as there have been walleye in the lake.

In the spring, the large schools migrate to the east to get into deeper water for the sum-mer. Yes, there are always walleye in the area to catch – call them locals – but the big schools move to the east. So what goes east must head west in the fall. The difference is that we also have huge schools of shad that come to the area to spawn in the fall. Walleye eat the shad to fatten up for the winter, when their metabolism slows down. So here we are, schools of shad and migrating walleye meeting head on. Thus the best walleye fi shing anywhere for big fi sh is now.

FishHuronOhio, the local group that promotes fi shing out of Huron not only holds its own tournament in the fall, but promotes other groups to come to the area. You can see

in the picture the large donation of fi sh made to the Help-ing Hand Food Pantry that came from the fall tournament.

Last weekend it was Walleye Central that visited. That brought more than 400 anglers to a dinner held at Mesen-burg’s Plaza Place on Friday. They come here each year because of the fall fi shing. The next two weekends will see Lance Valentine’s Walleye 101 here in the area. This is a fi shing seminar program. You will see more than 80 fi sher-men in the area all week long. Drive by the new boat ramp and count the parked rigs. So when you see the Welcome Fishermen signs, be certain that the lake is helping the local economy. Those who want to know more about FishHu-ronOhio, should visit www.fi shhuronohio.com.

PHOTO BY SHEILA EHRHARDT The FishHuronOhio group sponsored its second annual Fall Walleye Chal-lenge on Saturday, Oct. 16, drawing some 250 fi shermen from Ohio and four surrounding states. Many of the anglers agreed to donate their catch to a local charity. Of the more than 1,300 pounds of fi sh caught, 430 pounds of fresh walleye were donated to the Huron Helping Hands Food Pantry. Pictured with FHO committee members, (back row, left to right): Rick Mesenburg, Matt Solberg, Steve Carlson, Don Ritzenthaler and Doug Stud-er presented 200 pounds of walleye fi llets to (front row, left to right) Tom Preston and Chris and Bob Hakeman, volunteers from the Huron Helping Hands Food Pantry at Lighthouse Church.

This years’ Girls’ Night Out netted more than $52,000 for four local charities: Cancer Services of Erie County, Fish-er-Titus Mammography Fund, Firelands Regional Medical Center’s Cancer Program Fund and North Coast Cancer Foundation. More than 1,200 women attended the large-scale event. In addition to Bollinger winning the bike, Joan Van Offeren of Huron, executive director of the Erie Coun-ty Visitors & Convention Bureau, was named the 2010 GNO Woman of the Year; many great gifts and prizes were awarded to lucky ticket holders; Victoria Shaw of Nashville entertained; and 1,300 pink balloons were broken with some lucky ladies winning $100 bills.
