Prizes and awards made possible by Pat to the City of Huron by the engineering firm, Hull & Associates, Inc., “Burdue & Company plans to drop the structure westward and away from the shipping inlet by first placing jacks on the east side of the structure, then cutting supports on the west side of the structure and using the jacks to cause the trolley to begin to lean, then fall westward.” The trolley is scheduled to be removed this week. Once the silos and trolley are down, work will be far from complete. The specifications for the remediation of the ConAgra site call for removal of the building foundations up to 4 feet below ground level. Also, soil remediation is needed for three areas where several hundred cubic yards of soil will be excavated to four feet in depth. Confirmatory sampling of the soil on the site will begin the third week of July. Ed Burdue & Company will remain on site and continue to crush the ruble from the silos and other structures into various O’Brien Chevrolet and Mad River Harley Davidson. Live entertainment begins again on the Boat Basin stage at 1:30 pm on Saturday for an afternoon and evening of great tunes. Huron’s very own The Slush Buckets will kick off the music extravaganza from 1:30 pm to 3:30 pm, Sandtown from 4:30 pm to 6:30 pm then Eddie Brunswick and the Hot Rod Lincolns from 7:30 to 10:30 pm wrap up the evening. Sunday is Family Fun Day with the Huron High School Band serving their Pancake Breakfast beginning at 8:00 am. The HHS Cheerleaders will take the stage at 1:00 pm and will perform with the Mini Cheerleaders. Monkey Love will take the stage for some final live entertainment at 3:00 pm. sizes of useable stone. Once this is complete, the site will appear to be an industrial storage facility for some time with all of the recycled materials awaiting their final destination. The City will be selling the crushed stone for $3 per ton. Any money generated from the sale of the recycled materials will be reinvested in the site for capital improvements. Despite anxiety felt by many Huron residents, the ConAgra project is one year ahead of schedule and still $300,000 under budget. The City is hoping to redirect the remaining funds for other projects at the site, but this will be determined by the terms set forth in the grant. If approved, some of the remaining funds will be used to stabilize the shoreline. Towards this end, the City will use some of the large pieces of concrete from the demolition. All in all, work is progressing in a timely fashion. For now, Huron residents can only dream of what the ConAgra site will be in the future.

Progress Around Town-ConAgra
By Lisa yako As of Monday morning of this week, Huron continued to be filled with sounds of smashing, crashing, and grinding at the ConAgra site. The remaining silos were scheduled to be demolished by July 6, but inclement weather affected the progress of the work. Yet, Andy White is confident that the project will be completed by the August 22, 2012 deadline. Once the silos are completely down, which should happen this week, the crane will remain on-site to remove the trolley that is located on the north end of the silos.

Letter to the Editor
This letter is in response to the June 28th letter to the editor by Mr. Asher and Mr. Caporini. They lay out for the reader their side of the story regarding Mr. Fox and the actions of the other board members. Their explanation of the Arizona trip hit a nerve and was less than truthful. I would like to share what public records obtained from the Huron Board of Education supports. In October 2010, Mr. Fox indicated through email to the board members that he would like to attend the Effective Schools Conference in Scottsdale, Arizona and that he planned to pay his own airfare. Emails between four of the board members supported that he attend. Mrs. Bulea shared that she felt the board should pay the airfare whereas Mrs. Green objected, although she stated that the others could vote in favor to pay.Airfare would have been a legitimate expense for the trip if the board they agreed to cover it. Mr. Fox confirmed that he was going to attend the conference and would cover his own travel expense. On 2/18/11 a purchase order number for $1500 was issued with Mr. Fox as the vendor. It was the approximate cost of food and lodging for the Effective Schools Conference with dates of March 2 – March 5, 2011. There is no documentation that supports he attended the March 1 preconference. On 3/7/11 a check was issued to Mr. Fox that included the expenses for the conference. What was included but not permissible: Lodging at $165 per night from 2/26 through 2/28 -he was only eligible for 3/1- 3/4 as he flew home on 3/5. Food bill from 2/27 for $30.14 - not only was is not permissible because of the date, it was not itemized. The school board policy requires that all bills be itemized. A charge from the hotel/resort’s restaurant on 3/4 for $30.15 and not itemized - the establishment serves both food and alcohol and alcohol is not permissible.The board does not even know what they paid for when approving this expense. Rental car from 2/26 through 3/5 for a total of $373.37- Mr. Fox picked up and returned the car at the hotel. The use of public monies only allows rental cars if there is no shuttle service from the airport to the hotel or if public transportation is not available to reach the conference. The brochure for the conference indicates that both were available. Reimbursement of the rental car fee was not a legitimate expense. Late Feb. 2012, a year after the Arizona trip, Mr. Fox writes a personal check to the district for the amount similar to the cost of the rental car. This is after the internal investigation begins regarding a separate issue. Mr. Asher and Mr. Caporini state in their letter that Mr. Fox only submitted one food receipt which is not true. He turned in a total of three with only one for $8.49 that was within the approved dates and itemized. They also state that the food at the resort was expensive yet they approve a nonitemized charge of $30.15. They did not even take the time to review the expenses but were eager to share the “truth”. All board members must have been aware of the district policy and the use of public monies policy. Mr. Caporini as an experienced board member and Mr. Asher with his legal background should have known that what they approved was unethical and illegal. Mr. Fox as the superintendent would have been aware of the district policy and the use of public monies policy and Mr. Weis as the board treasurer knew that this was wrong but paid it anyway at the direction of board members. This was a poor decision on his part. All parties involved knew what they were doing and are equally responsible. This was not an error in judgment. This was an abuse of authority and intentional misuse of taxpayer money. They knew the rules but chose not to follow them. In my opinion, Mr. Asher, Mr. Caporini, and Mrs. Bulea did not think that anyone would ever learn of what they did. They were to be stewards of the taxpayers’ purse but instead used our money as an entitlement. Sherry Catri

OBITUARY
Dolores Heydinger
Aug. 31, 1941 — July 7, 2012 Dolores Mary (Kellerman) Heydinger, age 70, passed away on July 7, 2012, at the University of Toledo Medical Center from complications after a routine procedure. She was surrounded by her husband and sons. Dolores was born in Sandusky on Aug. 31, 1941, and was a lifelong resident of the area. She attended Holy Angels grammar school and graduated from St. Mary High school in 1959 where she played the school operettas during her career. She graduated from Mary Manse College in Toledo with her teaching degree in 1964. She then taught first grade and kindergarten in the Sandusky City Schools for twenty-two years, from 1964 until her retirement in 2002, with time out for raising her own family. She also worked for Kiddie Koral during her child rearing years. Children always came first in her life, as she was born to teach. In her later years, despite her many health challenges, she remained an avid traveler, always keeping a bag packed for spur of the moment trips. She claimed 48 states and most of the Provinces, and had visited Europe and Alaska several times and Africa once. She was active for many years in various church and school ministries, serving on the St. Peter and Paul School Board, until health issues forced her to gradually withdraw. She also enjoyed the outdoors, family gatherings, and the special apple of her eye, her only granddaughter, Taliesin. Dolores is survived by her husband of 46 years, Michael, sons Scott of Lexington KY, Marcus of Sandusky, and Charles (Vicki) of Savannah GA, a granddaughter Tali, her brother, Marcus (Carol) Kellerman of Santa Fe NM, an aunt, Annie Parker of Putin-Bay, numerous cousins, nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents, Marcus and Mary (Parker) Kellerman, an infant son, Joseph Marcus, a brother-in-law, Lauren Joseph Heydinger and numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins. Visitation will be held on Thursday, July 12, from 2 PM until 4 PM and from 6 PM until 8 PM, at the David F. Koch Funeral Home, 520 Columbus Ave., Sandusky. A Rosary will be recited at 8 PM at the funeral home. On Friday morning, July 13, 2012, prayers will be recited at the funeral home at 9:40 AM followed by a Mass of Christian Burial at 10 AM at St. Peter and Paul Church, 510 Columbus Avenue, Sandusky, with Rev.

Your memories and words of comfort may be expressed to Dolores’s family at davidfkoch.com. She was born June 29, 1913, in Cleveland, daughter of the late Adolph H. and MayZ. Shagrin. She graduated from Cleveland Heights High School and from Western Reserve University’s Flora Stone Mather College with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Music. A gifted classical pianist, she earned a Master of Arts Degree in Music from Western Reserve University. After marrying Don J. Young Jr. in June, 1937, and moving to Norwalk, she taught school, gave private music lessons, tutored, and worked as a children’s and school librarian. She received a Masters Degree in Library Science from Western Reserve University and was elected to membership in Beta Phi Mu, National Library Science Honorary Society. During her lengthy professional career, she taught in Norwalk Public Schools and was children’s librarian at Norwalk Public Library. She was instrumental in cataloguing and organizing the library for Firelands Museum at the time the museum relocated from its quarters in the basement of the Norwalk Public Library building. She worked as a school librarian, choral director, and English teacher at Monroeville High School. After her husband was appointed to the Federal Judiciary, they relocated to Toledo where she took a position as school librarian at Bowsher High School. Both as an individual and, in the company of her husband, she was active in her community. She devoted her significant talents and abilities to various philanthropic endeavors. She was a lover of the arts and humanities. She was a gifted pianist and musician and tireless mentor to the countless numbers of young people who were graced with her presence in their lives. She is survived by her daughter Patricia Young Alverson, of Chattanooga, Tenn.; daughter-in-law Karen Young, of Sandusky; four grandchildren; 10 great-grandchildren; and nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her husband the Honorable Don J. Young, U.S. District Court Judge, Northern District of Ohio, Western Division; her son Dr. Don Young, of Sandusky; and brother Col. R.A. Shagrin, of Seattle. Private graveside Services will take place at Woodlawn Cemetery, Norwalk. The Rev. Roger Skelley-Watts, pastor of the United Methodist Church, Huron, will officiate.

For more information call Mary at 419-668-1415 or by E-mail: mac4133@ frontier.com Gary and Georgiana Sherz, Garcia Drive, have a flower garden with lots of perennials and old favorites. Their flower beds are bordered with many interesting and bright low growing blooms that frame taller perennials. Whimsical garden art, a water feature, and rescued stones add to the beauty of the garden. Mammoth hostas, great visitors to the home of Dan and Kathy Holtz, James Street. Pink coneflowers, hanging baskets of annuals, potted trees and Japanese maples complement the ruby rose bricks trimming the house. Beds of dark green ivy are trained to surround the house instead of mulch. A party paradise greets you in the back yard with an outdoor kitchen, pool, fireplace and lounging area. In this garden next to Richard Missler’s Concord Court apartment, you will find robust vegetable plants growing. The garden is edged with large stones and annual flowers. The garden of Robert and Mary Messersmith, Lee St. is only a year old. After many years of gardening at this site, their house burned and almost all you see is new. They were able to rescue some of their previous plantings. The new grey and white house has a beautiful deck and terrace. Some fantastic stones and whimsical artifacts mingle with annuals, new perennial plantings and rescued old favorites. The home of Scott and Teresa Crabtree, North West Street has a dramatic sweep of native and ornamental landscaping that drops into a ravine below and elevated gazebo. A rain fence, which is a tall arbor with water falling into a submerged pit, is centered with a fireplace and seating. A beautiful Japanese maple greets you when you visit the garden of Ralph and Penny Seward, Fair Road. A trip through the gate leads to a patterned concrete patio and nearby pergola. In the back of the garden is another shady nook with plants, seating, a water feature and flowers. The garden also has raised vegetable beds, and a beehive which is a new venture for Ralph. A small garden greets the visitor as they approach the home of David and Vicki Cronk, West Maple Street. A long the way to the larger back yard garden which has many lovely perennials and a cozy seating area, you will see beautiful hanging baskets, statuary, and other interesting plantings.

Schools
Safety Town
Students visited the Huron Police Department and the Fire Department during the two-week Safety Town program sponsored by Huron Parks and Recreation. The program teaches safety in a variety of settings to children entering kindergarten in the fall. Local high school and middle school students volunteer their time to help with the program, which “graduated” 65 proud five-year and six year old students on June 21st. Our thanks to the Huron Eagles and St. Peter Church for their sponsorship, as well as the many Huron businesses whose donations help to support Safety Town.

Stepping up with confidence
EHOVE and several local community members celebrated the first STEP UP graduation. Twelve graduates from various locations marked the successful end of their participation in the 14-week program at EHOVE Adult Career Center. Graduates include: Larry Bethea: Sandusky Julie Blankenship: Sandusky Gina Cisco: Norwalk Matt Conley: Huron Sherrie Harper: Norwalk Estela Luna: Willard Carol Mossa: Wakeman Joey Patterson: Monroeville Cheryl Reinbolt: Milan Brittany Sandridge: Sandusky Iantha Skelton: Sandusky Jose Zamano: Norwalk STEP UP helps people in the community gain confidence and basic employability skills, and improve time management. This free program features a holistic approach and allows each person to focus on individual education and career goals. EHOVE joined forces with Norwalk City Schools ABLE and BGSU Firelands College to help assist local workers through this program, which was funded by a grant from the Ohio Board of Regents. Participants were taught a variety of skills and studying techniques to enhance their career plans including: Math, Reading, Employability Skills, Teamwork, Learning how to locate information, SelfEsteem and Confidence. EHOVE’S Adult Counselor/Student Services Coordinator Deb Presser is very excited about the success of this program and says another grant is being pursued to fund another class for Spring 2013. “More than half of our graduates decided on a career path and will enroll in Surgical Technology, Massage Therapy, Industrial Technician and Dietary Manager, just to name a few,” said Presser. Matt Conley (Huron) graduated from STEP UP with a Perfect Attendance Award, and his future goal is to enroll in the Network Technician Program. “It’s a free program and I definitely would recommend this to other people,” said Conley. “The instructors cover a lot of content. It’s a great way to prepare for any kind of education.” Joey Patterson (Monroeville) is inspired by this program and plans on enrolling in the Surgical Technologist Program offered at EHOVE this fall. “This experience motivated me to change careers,” said Patterson, who was voted class speaker for the ceremony. “I definitely sharpened my math skills and communication skills. I learned how to work well with groups of people, and learned a lot about self-confidence.” “I would absolutely recommend this program to others,” said Patterson. “I think this is a very positive approach to making a career decision.” “What a celebration,” said EHOVE Director of Adult Education Viki Kaszonyi. “I would like to thank our first class of graduates. You all have been an amazing class. The students have worked hard; really challenging themselves and stepping out into some untried territory.” “I realized I met a very caring and generous group of people immediately,” said Patterson. “It has been a growing experience. We all walked away with a lot including friendships made. There is so much potential in this group and in this program.” Each graduate had a chance to receive a $300 scholarship to use toward EHOVE or BGSU Firelands. To qualify, students must have a 90% attendance and a 78% completion of all assignments. The next STEP UP Program is slated to begin Spring 2013. If you or someone you know may be interested in this program, applications are available in the EHOVE Adult Ed Office or the ABLE Program in Norwalk. For more information, call EHOVE Adult Career Center at 419-499-4663 x280.

Progress Around Town- Various Updates
By Lisa yako The changes to Huron’s landscape and infrastructure continue. In addition to ConAgra, there are a variety of projects underway around town and at different stages of completion, and others yet to begin. According to City Manager, Andy White, “A major issue confronting the city and challenging its future development is the lack of a downtown district and disconnected transportation system.” To remedy these issues, the City has taken a pro-active approach to resolve and improve current conditions. Here is an update on the status of a few select projects: Fabens Park- One thousand tons of stone from ConAgra will be used for a resurfacing project at the park. Other improvements will also be made. Further updates will follow at a later date. State Route 13 Resurfacing- The resurfacing of this road is complete. Later this year or early next year, sidewalks will be installed along the east side of the road. The City invested $128,000, 10% of the total cost, into this project, while the State of Ohio funded the remainder. Pier- Work at the Pier will continue throughout this summer and beyond to improve accessibility and views of the lighthouse. Eventually, the spoil site will be seeded with grass, and trees will be planted. The Huron Parks and Recreation Department will work with the Erie Metroparks to establish trails throughout the site. Cleveland Road Bridge- The State of Ohio is funding this resurfacing/ re-decking project. The City received grants to install new, more decorative lighting and to redirect the wiring. By the end of the summer, traffic flow along Cleveland Road from Berlin Road to Huron Street will be permanently reduced to one lane of traffic in each direction. An 8-foot wide bike lane will run in each direction. Master Plan- The City is working with City Architecture to develop a Master Plan for Huron. This plan is expected to be presented to the Planning Commission on July 12 and will be available for public comment shortly thereafter. Bike Path Surfacing- The City has been awarded a $215,000 grant to improve the bike path that runs parallel to Route 6 from Huron High School to Woodlands Intermediate School. The path will be paved, and lighting will be installed along the path. This project likely will be completed next spring. Main Street Reconnection- The City has received a commitment of funding for the reconnection of North Main Street. Much planning needs to take place before this project can begin, and the funding will not be available until 2014 at the earliest.

Huron Safety Forces Assist with Presidential Visit
By Lisa yako Whether you agree with his politics or not, it was pretty exciting to have President Barack Obama visit the area on July 5. This is definitely not an everyday occurrence. A sitting United States President has not traveled to Erie County, Ohio, since Harry Truman visited in 1948. As is to be expected, the Presidential visit required cooperation from many members of the area’s safety forces. Each Department involved was given their instructions about 48 hours in advance of the President’s visit. Both the Huron Police Department and the Huron Fire Department were involved in this event. Five officers from the Huron Police Department assisted the Sandusky Police Department in providing perimeter security during the event. Huron Police Chief, Bob Lippert, was one of the Huron officers who assisted the Sandusky Police Department. Chief Lippert had the privilege of providing inner perimeter security. He was assigned to Washington Park between East Washington Row and East Washington Street between Columbus Avenue and Wayne the highway and every entrance and exit ramp. The Huron Fire Department assisted in providing traffic control on State Route 2 as the Presidential motorcade traveled eastbound. Though no major problems occurred, minor issues were encountered, mostly involving individuals unaware that certain areas were closed to the general public. Neither the City of Huron, nor any other city, was compensated for the time spent protecting the President. However, Chief Lippert stated “I think most of the officers involved viewed this as a oncein-a-lifetime opportunity to provide security for the President of the United States. We all felt honored and privileged to be a part of this event.”
