Hurons Farmers: The Jones Family and The Chefs Garden

By Lisa Yako The constraints of time, place, and events will often define us for good or ill. In the context of farming and life in general, tragedy might destroy or alternately open doors of opportunity. Such was the case for the Bob Jones family. While working and living as a traditional Ohio farming family, tragedy struck in the form of a catastrophic weather event combined with high interest rates. The result was the loss of all the seasons produce and all but a 6-acre plot of land. To have succumb to this random event would have made tragedy complete, but the Jones family redefined themselves and chose opportunity. Their plan to rebuild, however, was not defined immediately, but unfolded slowly. The Jones family began growing high-quality vegetables that were not genetically modified and utilizing sustainable agriculture practices. The truly defining moment in the transition from the near loss of their business and way of life came with meeting Chef Jean Louis Palladin. Palladin, a native of France, had struggled to find fresh ingredients in the industrialized food system of the United States. Upon meeting the Jones family, Palladin challenged them to work with chefs to provide high-quality produce, and he then helped foster these relationships. Hence, in 1983 The Chef s Garden was born. Today, the Jones family farm comprises 300 acres. The Chef s Garden employs around 150 people, and the business serves clients worldwide. Despite their growth, The Chef s Garden has remained a family business. Bob, Sr. oversees the business operation and orchestrates special projects. His son, Lee, focuses on sales and marketing, and son, Bobby, oversees field production. Yet, the Chef s Garden is not your typical farm. Every farming method from germination to harvesting is highly researched and controlled. The only aspect of the farm that cannot be fully controlled is the weather. Every measure, including those that might seem antiquated and newer hightech methods, is taken to ensure a good yield. The

Chef s Garden purchases seeds from about 600 countries, and their products range from kohlrabi to cucamelons to red noodle beans and beyond. In addition, they grow 60 different varieties of herbs and many edible flowers. Ironically, however, each year nearly half of the familys land sits fallow, allowing the soil time for regeneration of nutrients, thus limiting the need for large chemical inputs to maintain production. Though there is a strong push these days to buy local, Lee Jones explains that The Chef s Garden does not get all wrapped up on a 50-mile or 100mile radius, but they continue to foster relationships with chef s that have a similar philosophy about sustainable agriculture and want a nonGMO (genetically modified organic) quality sustainable product. Currently, Chef s Garden produce is shipped to 49 states and 15 countries. In most cases, the produce goes from field to plate within 24 hours. Locally, produce from the Chef s Garden can be enjoyed at Bar North Bistro, Marconis, Zinc Brasserie, Chez Franois, and Bay Harbor. Further, the Chef s Garden has a Community Supported Agriculture program that offers the public the opportunity to buy produce directly from their farm. More information on this program can be found at www.farmerjonesfarm.com. Though the Jones family has found opportunity and success in The Chef s Garden, they never forget their past. The family, especially Bob, Sr., has developed some Jonesisms that sum up what they have learned over the years. One of Bob, Sr.s favorite Jonesisms is The only thing that we are trying to do is become as good a grower as our grandparents were. Lee explains that this saying refers to farming that was pre-chemical, preGMO, pre-synthetic fertilizer and a closer union with working in harmony with nature versus trying to outsmart it. Through all of their ups and downs, the Jones family lives by the motto The race doesnt always go to the fastest man, yet to the man that thinks he can.

Christ Church Marks 175th Anniversary


By Sheila ehrhardt Christ Episcopal Church is celebrating its 175th anniversary. Officially organized on March 15, 1837, the congregation met for several years in a schoolhouse located on the southeast corner of South and Ohio street and later in a temporary chapel in a room above a store on Main Street. The worshipers did not have the luxury of their own pastor, but relied on the occasional visits of traveling preachers who journeyed through the wilderness on horseback. Although they still lacked a minister, Christ Church was officially organized on March 15, 1837, with 41 people signing articles of association. John W. Wickham was elected Senior Warden, an office he held for 59 years, until his death in 1896. One of the early rectors resigned over a disagreement as to where the church building should be erected. One of the sites considered was north of Wall Street, on land that has since eroded away, about half way out to the present-day spoils site. The simple, but majestic, red brick chapel was eventually built at the corner of Ohio and Park streets, overlooking Lakefront Park and the lake beyond. It is the oldest church building still in use in the city, having been completed in 1838, under the guidance of the Rev. Timothy M. Leavenworth. The Rev. Samuel Marks became the rector of Christ Church in 1839, a position he held for the next 43 years. A native of Ireland, Rev. Marks is buried in the Huron Cemetery. Moving forward to recent history, the Rev. Eugene Smercina became the 19th clergyman to serve Christ Church in 1966. The congregation continued to grow under his guidance. In addition to a marked growth in the number of parishioners, which increased to about 250 members, the church underwent numerous renovations and repairs, several of which took place in the 1970s. After 37 years of serving the congregation, Rev. Gene retired in 2001 and the current rector is Rev. Wanda Ray, who was installed on Sept. 29, 2003.The church continues to grow under her direction, with a variety of new ministries having been added. These include: a healing ministry team, shepherding program, prayer team ministry, a growth team ministry, and many other innovative programs. Church members observed the 175th anniversary with a weekend celebration on Aug. 3-5 that saw Rev. Smercina installed as Rector Emeritus of Christ Church. Current vestry members include: Charles Bille, Donna Klepper, Frederick Fogle, Dennis Lehner, Edward Asher, Mary Trout, Barbara Vermillion, Jack Pincura, Nanette Bateson and Peter Trout. Happy Birthday Christ Church!! Ed. Note: This story is derived from a complete history of Christ Church, compiled by Kathy Muehlhauser Moore.

Even though there are twenty-three days until the 2012-2013 school year begins the Huron PTO (Parent Teacher Organization) has been planning, developing and working hard to continue the great work from last year. We wanted to make you aware of some of the great things the PTO is doing for our Huron schools and students. Last year, with the wonderful support and generosity of the community, the PTO kicked off the year with the Fall Fundraiser Raffle. The grand prize was an i-Pad for the winning student and the students teacher! Other prizes included cash awards of $300 and $400, gift certificates and great donations from many area businesses. The Raffle Fundraiser was a great success bringing in over $7,000! Great job Huron!! The PTO used those funds to enhance the learning experience at Shawnee, Woodlands and McCormick Schools. Special assemblies were held, like the puppet and magic shows; encouraging students with lessons on anti-bullying, good nutrition, and friendship. In addition to the assemblies the teachers and PTO worked together compiling a long

wish list of items that would help enhance the classrooms at the three schools. After a lot of researching, meetings, communications and ideas, the Huron PTO was able to purchase fourteen i-Pads with charging stations and carts, digital cameras, a new computer, wireless keyboards for each classroom, many, many batteries, industrial pencil sharpeners for each room at Shawnee and Woodlands, and lots and lots of books! Each school year the PTO also hosts the Scholastic Book Fair. The Book Fair is a great opportunity to encourage students to explore the world of reading and finance. The Book Fairs help raise funds that the PTO put right back into the school. The PTO was able to give the libraries $1,000 in books AND fulfilled teacher classroom library book wishes with the monies raised! Last year, with your help, Boxtops for Education presented the Huron PTO with a check for $2,646.40! Students are given collection sheets, turn them in with ten Boxtops taped to each sheet and have the opportunity to win prizes just for collecting the Boxtops. Anyone can participate in collecting and the money really adds

up! Visit www.boxtops4education. com and select Woodlands Elementary School (all three schools Boxtops are bundled under the one name) you will see a complete list of products that have Boxtops and can track how the schools are doing. We are on track to earn over $2,000 again this school year! Coming up this year the PTO will kick off the school year with the Back to School Carnival, and the Fall Raffle Fundraiser. Grand prize of the Raffle is an i-Pad 2 with case! Many other prizes include cash awards, spa treatments, certificates from local eateries, resorts, shop and many more. Look for your favorite student for raffle tickets this September. Scholastic Book fairs, special assemblies, rallies and much more are in the works for this amazing school year. Please visit us on Facebook at Huron PTO or join us at our meetings held the first Wednesday of each month at the Woodlands library. The Huron PTO appreciates the help and support of everyone in our community. We would not be able to help support our students and teachers without you, thank you for your continued support.

FROM THE BENCH


By Judge Bill Steuk, Huron Municipal court

PROBATION
Probation is defined as a sentence imposed for a commission of a crime whereby a convicted offender in lieu of incarceration is released into the community under the supervision of a probation officer. Probation is a mechanism to allow an offender an opportunity to prove that he or she can refrain from committing future illegal acts. Additionally, probation also can include the offender attending and completing programs to correct certain behavior. For example, a court as a condition of probation may require the offender to attend drug and alcohol treatment, mental health treatment, anger management or other appropriate programs. There is a wide range of conditions that a court can require an offender to complete during the course of his or her probation term. The goal of probation is to restore the offender to good standing in the community. Offenders in general, must report their progress to the probation officer. Usually, this is done with periodic meetings with the probation officer. Here at the Huron Municipal Court we have developed a probation department. Presently, we have approximately sixty (60) offenders on current active probation under supervision with our probation officer. Many others are on inactive probation, which means that they do not have to periodically meet with the probation officer but must fulfill other conditions placed by the court. Articles appearing in this column are intended to provide broad, general information about the law. Before applying this information to a specific legal problem, readers are urged to seek advice from an attorney.

Serving Our Seniors & Alzheimers Association NW Ohio Reaching Out to Address Memory Loss
Serving Our Seniors is helping The Alzheimers Association, Northwest Ohio Chapter to reach Huron/Huron Twp residents who are experiencing memory loss. Through The Alzheimers Association s, Early-Stage Social Engagement Program, those who have memory impairment can have the quality of their lives enhanced, and can make connections with others to help cope with a diagnosis of early stage Alzheimers Disease or a related dementia. This Social Engagement Program is a fun, safe, and comfortable way for people in the early stage of these diseases to get out, get active, and get connected with like individuals through a variety of activities. The chosen activities are selected by participants, based on the needs and interests of the group. The Alzheimers Association, Early-Stage Social Engagement Program is a grant funded program and the first session runs June through the second week in October. Each activity will be at no, or very low cost. The group started meeting recently and has the following social activities on their agenda: Coffee & dessert at Ryans Restaurant, visiting the Koch House Museum, OVH Military Museum, walking at Lions Park and more. It is not uncommon for individuals who are experiencing memory loss problems or who have received a diagnosis of Alzheimers disease or a related dementia, to withdraw(al) from activity and experience social isolation. Staying active, building support, and remaining an active member of society enhances not only the lives of individuals who are experiencing memory loss, but the community as a whole stated Beth Wong, a social worker with the agency. Call Brenda Hendricks or Beth Wong at the Alzheimers Association, 1-800-2723900 for more information.

Second Crop Vegetable Plantings


Mary Strayer, MaSter Gardener, author Hows your garden growing? Thats the question we are all asking each other now that we have had such a dry spell. With over a 3 inch deficient in rainfall, most gardens are there, but the production is minimal. Green beans dried up, broccoli did not head out, etc. Perhaps its time to consider second crop vegetable plantings. It would certainly be worth a try. First of all consider the soil. Did you already add a long acting fertilizer, if so, dont add more. Just remove the old non-productive crops, and till again. Then replant, watering when finished. The cool season crop is grown for its vegetative parts; the roots, leaves and stems and even the immature flowers of broccoli. The food value of cold-season crops is generally higher than that of warm-season crops per pound, per acre. Their natural planting and harvesting period is in the cool time of the year. However these crops can be grown twice a year with just a little planning. They are well adapted to small areas and containers because their root systems are shallow to medium in depth. In USDA Zone 5, we can plant green beans, broccoli, lettuce, green onions, peas, radishes, and spinach in late August to early September. One thing to consider is that crop rotation discourages diseases, and even in a small city garden problems can occur. It is much easier to start these gardens by planting plants, rather than seeds if at all possible. We are time limited, and things like seeds used for onions will not grow large enough to use in our area, but planting onion sets, if available will work well. Take note, that since our rhubarb also suffered terribly, you may consider just taking enough in the fall for that rhubarb pie you missed. The rhubarb should start to grow good again with the cooler weather. This does depend upon how much damage the roots sustained. If it is full and healthy, dont be afraid to use just enough to feed the family one time. Then water well, and let the plant fully recover until next year. Also, with the heat being so severe in June, many annuals just died in the heat. Many big box stores as well as greenhouses and nurseries still have annuals which have plenty of time to grow and show off again if replanted. One of my raised beds failed to grow, actually burnt off because I couldnt water it during the heat and drought. This week, I replanted it with blue annual salvia, watered well, and it will bring the garden back to life. A gardeners we have to adjust and used every trip we know to keep our gardens lovely. Mostly its fun, enough so to make us shout, Happy Gardening.

Schools
Ready to start again
Its that time of year already. School is just around the corner. Almost 700 students throughout Erie, Huron and Ottawa Counties were at EHOVE on July 17 and 18 to register for the new school year. They did the usual things, like updating contact information and getting their schedules, but they also had a chance to do a little more. Students had the opportunity to meet teachers, see classrooms, speak with guidance counselors and find out more about work-based learning opportunities available to them. Morgan Berger (Sandusky HS) and Caitlyn Dickey (Vermilion HS) are new students at EHOVE. I choose EHOVE to get ahead in school, said Berger. I enrolled in the Visual Media Tech Program to help me figure out what I want to have as my major for college. It will really help guide me in my decisions. I choose EHOVE to get several credits for college and to work on my pre-requisites, said Dickey, who be in the Teacher Academy program. Returning student Matt Rigsby (Vermilion HS) is a senior this year at EHOVE and is in the Computer Network Tech Program. I am definitely excited to begin another year at EHOVE, said Rigsby. I cant wait to see all the kids in class again, and my instructors make me laugh, which is a good motivator, plus earning more college credits while Im there. Both seniors have different plans after graduating from EHOVE. Rigsby plans on attending college at BGSU and focusing on his career after graduation. Shanks plans on attending EHOVE Adult Education. EHOVE Adult Career Center Cosmetology students - Brandi Klein of Bellevue, Ciara Johnson of Marblehead, Hannah Davis of Berlin Heights, Holly Cooper of Huron and Sarah Lazette of Sandusky

In order to earn the Statesmans Award, students participated in SkillsUSA leadership and competitive events sponsored in part by the Ohio Army National Guard and Hocking College. On July 18, the students joined the Glouster Volunteers, a group of residents of this once-thriving coal-mining town, who are working to spruce up the community and literally paint the town. Founder Jim Cotter, 81, started the painting project to alleviate his grief following the death of his wife last year. He wanted to occupy his mind and his time by working to improve his community. The project was sponsored in part by the Wooster Paint Brush Company, Hocking . Athens . Perry Community Action, Bercom Inc., Hocking College, Tri-County Career Center and Nelsonville Krogers. It was a great experience learning leadership roles, said Forensic Science student Brandon Calvert (Vermilion HS). Helping out the community was the greatest feeling. It was unbelievable to see all the hearts warmed by the SkillsUSA campers cleaning up the community and painting the houses. Students also worked on community service projects like landscaping, light construction, cleanups and painting projects sponsored in part by Toolbox for Education grants from Lowes Charitable and Educational Foundation. SkillsUSA is a partnership of students, teachers and industry working together to ensure America has a skilled workforce. The Ohio chapter provides its 31,500+ career-technical education members, which includes many EHOVE 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.

Fisher-Titus Medical Center Named Among 2012 Most Wired


Fisher-Titus Medical Center in Norwalk has been recognized as one of the nations MOST WIRED, according to the results of the 2012 Most Wired Survey released recently in the July issue of Hospitals & Health Networks magazine. Fisher-Titus was one of 12 Ohio hospitals in this designation. The nations Most Wired hospitals are leveraging the adoption and use of health information technology (IT) to improve performance in a number of areas, according to Health Cares Most Wired 2012 Survey released recently. As a field, hospitals are focused on expanding and adopting IT that protects patient data, and optimizes patient flow and communications. Fisher-Titus has been at the forefront of information technology for more than 25 years, said Patrick J. Martin, president of Fisher-Titus Medical Center. As an organization, Fisher-Titus has always strived to provide our community with the most advanced technology available. It is an honor to be recognized for this on a national level. The Fisher-Titus Information Services Department has achieved many milestones throughout the years as it progressed from a three-person data processing department in 1978 with a spotlight on supporting the financial aspects of the hospital to a 21-employee information services department today with a major focus in the clinical areas and patient care, said John Britton, vice president of information services at Fisher-Titus. In 1998, two major information technology (IT) initiatives began a focus on electronic medical records both in the physician offices and in clinical data, according to Britton. The Medical Center first partnered with Dr. Eric Prack at Family Health Partners to launch the first physician practice electronic medical record system in the area. We were ahead of the curve at the time, Britton said. Now, with the support of the Fisher-Titus Information Services Department to help with integration, 80 percent of our active medical staff has some form of electronic medical record system in their office. The other highlight that paved the way for electronic medical records in the clinical areas was the introduction of the picture archiving and communication system (PACS) in fall of 1998. Fisher-Titus was one of the first hospitals in Ohio to have PACS, an imaging technology which provides economical storage of, and convenient access to, images from various medical imaging instruments including computed tomography (CT), digital X-rays, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), ultrasound, positron emission tomograSince 1999, Fisher-Titus also has partnered with Magruder Hospital in Port Clinton on many technology initiatives. The most significant initiative was when the two hospitals worked with internationally known Cerner Corporation in 2010 to go all-digital in all areas. As technology advanced throughout the years in the clinical areas, the information services department worked to provide the best technology for individual hospital departments. For example, laboratory, surgery, emergency and radiology all operated with their own systems, in a model known as best of breed, but the challenge was to make the systems talk to each other. In 2010, Fisher-Titus, as an organization, made a strategic decision to integrate each clinical department onto one system to provide each patient with a comprehensive electronic health record. This project was an amazing accomplishment that was a team effort, not only from the information services department, but all employees, physicians, board members and volunteers, said Britton. At the conclusion of this 10-month project, Fisher-Titus became the nations first all-digital smart community hospital after implementing a fully integrated electronic health record system and interactive technology in patient rooms. Powered by Cerner Corp., the system advanced Fisher-Titus to the top 5% of the most automated and safest hospitals in the nation and created the infrastructure to build a connected health network in the region. In 2011, Fisher-Titus achieved Stage 6 (the second highest level achievable) on Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) Analytics Electronic Medical Record (EMR) Adoption Model. Fisher-Titus and our own communities physicians not only brought the whole health-care system in this community online, but to date we have one of the most integrated health-care information systems available, said Britton. Since going live with Cerner in 2010, Fisher-Titus has hosted the U.S. Department of Defense and many other healthcare systems, including international visitors from the United Kingdom, Brazil, Chile and Canada, who have traveled to Norwalk to see components of the system. Health Cares Most Wired Survey, conducted between Jan. 15 and March 15, asked hospitals and health systems nationwide to answer questions regarding their IT initiatives. Respondents completed 662 surveys, representing 1,570 hospitals, or roughly 27 percent of all U.S. hospitals. Among the key findings this year: Ninety-three percent of Most Wired hospitals employ intrusion detection systems to protect patient privacy and security of patient data, in comparison to seventy-seven percent of the total responders. Seventy-four percent of Most Wired hospitals and fiftyseven percent of all surveyed hospitals use automated patient flow systems. Ninety percent of Most Wired hospitals and seventy three percent of all surveyed use performance improvement scorecards to help reduce inefficiencies. One hundred percent of Most Wired hospitals check drug interactions and drug allergies when medications are ordered as a major step in reducing medication errors As shown by these survey results, hospitals continue to demonstrate how IT not only can be used to improve patient care and safety but it is also a means to improve efficiency, says Rich Umbdenstock, president and CEO of the American Hospital Association. Hospitals receiving Most Wired recognition are truly representative of our nations hospitals and systems - rural and urban, small and large, teaching and non-teaching, and critical access hospitals geographically dispersed.
