Centennial Activities begin with Transfer of Command Ceremony in Cleveland
By John Schaffner It was symbolic, but impressive none the less. On Thursday, August 30, the commander of the Brig Niagara, a direct descendent of Oliver Hazard Perry, was lowered onto a longboat with the “Don’t Give Up The Ship” flag draped over his shoulders (as has been depicted by historians) and was rowed by several Niagara crew members to board the USS DeWert, an Oliver Hazard Perry Class frigate docked in Cleveland Harbor. It was an historic transfer of command from the direct descendants of the commander of the US Navy Fleet in the September 1813 Battle of Lake Erie to the commander of a modern US Navy ship. This event was the official opening of a number of ceremonies and activities that will commemorate the bi-centennial of the Battle of Lake Erie on September 10, 1813 that took place about 10 miles north of Port Clinton. The guest speakers for the event included Commander Joseph C. Thomas, the Commanding Officer of the USS DeWert; Rear Admiral Gregory Nosal, Commander Carrier Strike Group Two, Vice Admiral Charles W. Martoglio, Deputy Commander U.S. European Command, US Coast Guard Admiral Mike Parks and David Zavagno, Chairman of The Perry Group Battle of Lake Erie Bicentennial Committee. In the battle, Perry was forced to transfer his flag through a hail of enemy fire from his flagship, Lawrence, to the other brig in his command, Niagara. That singular event has been depicted in many pieces of artwork, including the mural in the stairwell at the Ottawa County Courthouse as well as in a painting that hangs on the wall in the Victory Bar at The Is-

A committee, headed up by former Port Clinton Mayor Debbie Hymore-Tester, is meeting to plan the City’s activities to welcome one of 16 Tall Ships from all over the Great Lakes for the celebration over Labor Day weekend in 2013.

Adventurous Couple Sails Two Oceans: Thursday, September 13 at the library
In the spring of 2008, longtime HuroniteJim Roberts and Nancy Abbott were cruising their 42.4 foot Pearson sailboat, REVERY, in the Caribbean. At a stop in St. Lucia, Nancy saw a small card on a bulletin board at the marina, “looking for a couple to sail on our 48.5 foot Oyster brand sailboat, OUT OF THE BLUE, to the Galapagos and Australia through the Panama Canal.” The sailing couples met, sailed to Trinidad and stored their boats for the hurricane season. The owners of the Oyster came to Huron to meet Jim’s family (who still run Harbor North Marina) and sail on Lake Erie. The couples decided that they were “compatible” and made plans to sail on the Oyster from Trinidad in November 2008. Their voyage included stops at the islands of Venezuela; Bonaire; Cartagena, Columbia; San Blas Islands; the Perlas Islands of Panama; Galapagos Islands; the French Islands of Marquesas and Tahiti; Tonga; Vanuatu; and several others ending at the Great Barrier Reef of Australia. The Captain’s wife, Helen, and Nancy produced a video of the trip. Jim and Nancy, who are in their 80’s, will be at the Huron Library on Thursday, September 13 at 6:30 PM for their first public showing of their travel video and to share their experiences of this 12,000 mile journey that took 8 months.

FROM THE BENCH
By Judge William Steuk, Huron municipal court NEW OHIO DRIVER’S LICENSES AND STATE IDS The Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) has announced recently that Ohio driver’s licenses will be changing in the near future. The changes are in response to the Federal “Real ID Act of 2005.” Changes will begin starting January 2013. New driver’s licenses and state identification cards will be called “Ohio’s Safe IDs.” On December 1, 2014, Federal Agencies will no longer accept state driver’s licenses or identification cards for “official” purposes from individuals born after December 1, 1964, unless they are Real ID compliant. The Federal Homeland Security defines “official” purposes as boarding commercially operated airlines and entering into Federal Buildings (including Social Security offices and Federal Court buildings, etc.). The only exceptions are those individuals born after December 1, 1964, who currently hold what is called a legacy license or identification card (traditional) with an expiration date that occurs after the December 1, 2014 deadline. These licenses and identification cards will be accepted until they expire. Between 2013 and 2017, the BMV will offer the new Ohio’s Safe ID and also will offer the legacy or traditional driver’s licenses for those renewing their licenses and choosing not to purchase the Safe ID license. New drivers and those moving from another state will be required to get the new Safe ID. Beginning December 1, 2017, Ohio’s traditional legacy driver’s license or traditional state identification cards will not be offered. The purpose of the Safe IDs is to include enhanced security features in order to prevent counterfeiting, fraud and identity theft. These changes make the Ohio Safe IDs the most secure driver’s licenses and state identification cards ever issued. Customers will still apply for Safe IDs at the local Registrar’s offices but due to the special security features, the Safe ID’s will not be available that same day. They will have to be mailed to the customer from the state’s central office. Customers will be given a temporary document that they will be able to use until the Safe ID cards are mailed to them. For more information, please visit the BMV’s website at www.bmv. ohio.gov . Articles appearing in this column are intended to provide broad, general information about the law. Before applying this

‘Rat Pack’ to Kickoff the ElderCollege Semester at BGSU Firelands
The Rat Pack is back! Well at least for one performance at the Bowling Green State University Firelands College ElderCollege fall semester kickoff. On Wednesday, Sept. 5, Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin will thrill audience members with their energetic and entertaining performance of such classics as Frank’s Fly Me to the Moon and Dean’s That’s Amore. The incarnations of Frank and Dean are provided compliments of Cleveland-based Damion Fontaine and Scott Brotherton. The duo capture the fun, the jokes, and the timeless music of the Rat Pack during their highly praised performance “Frank & Dean . . . and then some” which includes music of Bobby Darin, Michael Buble’, Neil Diamond, Elvis, and more. “We like to start the year with a bang,” said BGSU Firelands Assistant Director of the Office of Educational Outreach Kelly Cusack. “The goal of ElderCollege is to provide participants with a broad range of engaging social and educational experiences, and this event is a great way to kickoff the year.” Fontaine and Brotherton perform at clubs and venues throughout the tri-state area and have even provided a performance at the Ohio Governor’s Mansion. Collectively their experience includes performances in Las Vegas, New York, and Los Angles. The kickoff of the fall semester is set for Wednesday, Sept. 5 from 1:30-3:30 p.m., in the Cedar Point Center at BGSU Firelands. The event is free and open to the public. ElderCollege is an independent organization supported by BGSU Firelands. With more than 150 members, it is designed to promote lifelong learning for adults 50 years of age and beyond from all educational and socio-economic backgrounds. There are no academic requirements to join ElderCollege, and there are no tests or grades. Individuals simply attend for the enjoyment of learning. Thirty-five classes are planned for fall semester. Topics range from local and national history to portrait painting, and much more. Individuals can enroll in ElderCollege for a fee of $63 per semester or $99 per year, which entitles them to attend unlimited classes during the selected period. Non-members also can participate by paying a minimal fee per class – typically $20. For more information about the ElderCollege fall kickoff, contact Tracy DeFazio in the Office of Educational Outreach at 419372-0617 or by e-mail at [email protected]

Fitzgerald Automotive Group will be the presenting sponsor of the 2012 event as a way to give back to the community and raise money for four local charities-- Cancer Services, Fisher-Titus Mammography Fund, Cancer Program Fund at Firelands Regional Medical Center and North Coast Cancer Foundation. “Cancer is a very serious subject and one that has touched many of us, whether personally, through a family member, or a friend,” said Jim Fitzgerald, president of Fitzgerald Automotive Group. “At Fitzgerald Automotive Group, we have always been very committed to being involved with our area schools, churches, youth groups and local organizations whenever we can to help assist in their success” “In the past, we have supported this worthwhile event by donating a motorcycle for Hog for Cause, this year we decided to offer our support in a different way. We are excited to be able to help the Girls’ Night Out fundraising program again this year.” In addition, Fifth Third Bank is this year’s entertainment sponsor. Fifth Third has been providing sponsorships year since 2007. And for the second year in a row, VacationLand Federal Credit Union is the sponsor for Bras for a Cause. “Over the years, this event has become a regional event and has truly become a community effort to support the local cancer programs that touch so many lives,” said Doug Studer, co-founder of Girls’ Night Out. “It is businesses like Fitzgerald Automotive Group, Fifth Third Bank and VacationLand Federal Credit Union that makes Girls’ Night Out such an overwhelming success year after year. It just keeps getting bigger and better.” Sponsorship and vendor opportunities are still available. For more information, call Doug Studer at 419602-0819 or visit girlsnightoutcharity.com.

Rev. Roger’s Reflections
 by Rev. J. RogeR Skelley-WattS PaStoR, HuRon united MetHodiSt CHuRCH As London approached the closing ceremonies of the Olympics last month, multiple stories were reported of athletes, coaches, families and fans – some with the wisdom of God to do the right thing – others who did not. Some from the 2012 games, other stories from the past – all with lessons from which you and I can benefit spiritually. One that caught my eye and touched my soul was the story of Louis Zamperini in Laura Hillenbrand’s book entitled Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption. The author came across Louis’ story while researching her previous book, Seabiscuit, about an ugly, misfit horse who shattered all odds to become a Triple Crown winner and hero to a nation fighting the Great Depression and the Second World War. Seabiscuit’s and Louis Zamperini’s stories occurred at about the same time. Louis was a troubled child from a family full of drama. He stole everything in sight, spent time in juvenile prison and took up running – to work out his stress and escape the cops. He grew up to become one of the greatest track stars of his generation, shattering the national high school record for the mile and becoming the youngest member of the 1936 U.S. Olympic Team. Many predicted that Louis would become the first to break the four-minute mile. But World War II intervened. He was drafted into the Army Air Corps and assigned as a bombardier upon a B-24. After surviving a crash landing and a number of bombing missions, his plane went down into the Pacific Ocean while looking for another downed plane. Fighting hunger, thirst, typhoons and sharks, Louis was adrift for 46 days and spent over two brutal years as a POW in Japan. Daily beatings were administered by a guard known as “the Bird.” Louis Zamparini endured each one. Some Japanese personnel did their best to shield the prisoners, even at the risk of their own safety. After the war, Louis spiraled into post-traumatic, years before anything was known of the syndrome. Nightmares of “the Bird” haunted his fitful attempts at sleep. Alcohol and more trouble with the law followed, until his marriage to Cynthia who saved his life. She also led him to a Rev. Billy Graham Crusade in LA – the preacher’s message was on “the power of forgiveness.” Louis went down front and was prayed over with laying on of hands to strains of the hymn “Just as I Am Without One Plea.” That night, for the first time, God came to him in a peaceful dream. He poured the booze down the sink. Cynthia and Louis then went to Japan and reconciled with as many of his prison guards as they could find – to do the right thing. What do you think about that? The most notorious one “the Bird” would not meet with them. But it was Louis’ prayer for the ability to tell right from wrong – an under-standing eye, plus a discerning heart, plus a listening ear – and wisdom’s truth taught him that forgiveness is not dependent upon the response of the other. Forgiveness comes from God, through one’s own willing spirit of love. Amen? During the 1998 Olympics in Japan, Louis ran holding aloft the torch over the site of his former POW camp. But that’s not all – that’s not the rest of the story. Louis wondered why author Laura Hillenbrand, over seven years of interviews, would never meet with him in person. Come to find out, through gentle but persistent questioning, that she had suffered from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome for 25 of her 42 years. She is housebound, in constant pain, and sometimes cannot even roll over in bed. Yet she has written two long, exhaustively researched , creatively written, best selling books about unique characters who have fought victoriously against all odds. So it was that just last year Laura Hillenbrand opened her door to 92 year old Louis Zamperini. They sat in chairs across from one another, held hands, looked deeply into understanding eyes. Louis says, “It’s easy to open up to her because she knows I’ve suffered, too. She gets it. She’s been to this place herself.” Laura responds, “Having to go all the way to the bottom of yourself to find the resources to survive: this is something I understand well. I understand desperation. You feel like you don’t know where you’re going to get the strength to carry on and then you do. “We’ve been to the same place in different circumstances. I’m not comparing myself to a prisoner of war, but there are common emotions that enable me to identify with him. “Louis was liberated from the prison by the Allies. Louis was liberated from the prison of his hate-filled heart by the power of God’s forgiveness. Louis took my hand the other day. We opened the front door, and walked outside. I trusted his wisdom. And at least for a while – I, too, escaped.” reports Laura. So as many of us, families and friends begin a new school year son, may we pray for some of the Wisdom of King Solomon, Louis and Laura: an understanding mind, a heart able to discern between good and evil. To instinctively know what is right and what is wrong. Listening ears attuned to the truth of God’s justice. And as we happily walk in God’s ways, keeping His statutes and commandments, He will honor us with far more than we dare to ask. Amen. (1 Kings 2-3)

Gardening with Mary
Mary Strayer, MaSter Gardener tiMe to Plant daffodilS Fall is in the air, and the daffodils are for sale everywhere. Many people have emailed asking about growing daffodils. First of all, what is the difference between daffodils and narcissus? Narcissus is the botanical name for all daffodils, and Daffodil is the common name for all members of the genus Narcissus. So technically they are the same thing. There are at least 25 species of daffodils, and many of these have different forms, and there are several natural hybrids. There are over 13,000 hybrids according to the Daffodil Data Bank (on the web) and there are 12 divisions of the official classifications. Secondly, squirrels and other rodents do not eat daffodil bulbs. When you live in a sandy area, the possibility of rodents visiting your gardens is very high, so I recommend planting as many daffodils as you would like, and just sit back and relax, knows you aren’t feeding those awful moles! Third, I was asked about the prices for the bulbs. In the fall the bulbs range from $1 to $100, according to the special qualities of the bulbs. However, if you watch, now come spring, the general merchandise stores sell the bulbs out when they are done blooming dirt cheap. So you might get 5-8 bulbs for 50 cents. You can also watch the garden catalogs for special sales, 2 for2’s etc., and pick up a nice variety that way. Cultivars for naturalizing cost much less, and you can order the bulbs by the bushel come fall planting time. Have fun, and look online for dates for the American Daffodil Society’s daffodil shows. Purchase bulbs that don’t look shriveled, and generally look healthy with no mold visible. Choose a well drained sunny place to plant them. Hillsides work well, as do raised beds. In my gardens, I have one raised bed that contains over 300 daffodils, all the giant King Alfred. When planting them, plant 2 times the depth of the bulb. For instance plant a 2” high bulb 4” into the ground. If you plan to plant many bulbs, invest in a bulb digger, a tool which allows you to just push into the soil with the tool, and it digs the hole for you. Once planted fertilize with a 5-10-10 fertilizer each year. Water your daffodils once planted, and during the blooming season, for longer lasting flowers. Stop watering 3 weeks after all blooms fade. Lastly, after blooming do not cut the foliage off from the bulb. If it irritates you, just use a rubber band, and fold leaves over, attach band, and allow the leaves to dry down completely before removing from the bulb. Most of all enjoy your blooms and Happy Gardening!

Parental Involvement in Education Leads to Student’s Academic Achievement
Study after study has proven student achievement advances when parental involvement is high in the educational process. According to The Ohio School Boards Association, August edition of the “Briefcase”, good students become even better students when parents are involved. “Studies show that families from all income and education levels and all ethnic and cultural groups support their children’s learning at home.” It has recognized that parent’s involvement is a key factor in the enhancement of student achievement and well-being. OSBA’s “Briefcase” states, students are more likely to be motivated, to earn higher grades, to have better behavior and social skills, and to continue their education to a higher level when their parents are actively engaged in supporting their success at school. There are many different ways parents and teachers can work together to ensure parental involvement with their children academically. Several ways the OSBA newsletter suggests include: attending parent-teacher conferences, keeping open lines of communication through notes, phone calls or emails and offering and accepting volunteer opportunities in the classroom when time permits. Volunteering for field trips and school activities is a great way to get involved and be a part of your child’s educational experience. Offering support during homework time or inquiring about the day’s events are additional ways for parents to support and encourage their children. “Time” may be the largest obstruction in a parent’s ability to be involved in their student’s education. According to Margaret Peterson, APR, Communications Consultant for OSBA, teachers can encourage parental involvement by assigning home activities that encourage family participation. “Home activities allow for flexibility in scheduling and provide opportunities for parents and children to spend time together. The most beneficial home activities are interesting and meaningful, not trivial tasks parents and children have to ‘get through’.” Teachers and parents need to understand each other’s roles for this opportunity to achieve success. Linking home activities with family activities to improve the student’s learning is one way for both educators and families to work together to offer support to the students, the article explained. As time is often the culprit, it is important for both teachers and parents to realize at the end of the day everyone’s best interest is the student. Working together and keeping open lines of communication are two of the best ways to ensure student academic achievement.

You CAN Learn This High-Demand Skill Now
What’s a skill in high demand by local employers? Welding. EHOVE Adult Career Center’s offers training for anyone interested in gaining this valuable skill. Enrollment is open for the next program now. To enroll, call 419-4994663 ext. 280. More information is also available at www.EHOVE.net. Students will gain the knowledge and skills to become a proficient welder and learn what it takes to become employed in the manufacturing industry. Welding processes that will be taught include: STICK-SMAW, MIG-FCAW & GMAW, TIG-GTAW. Employment and future job outlook for students’ careers looks promising. “Every week we receive inquiries from industry looking for trained workers,” said Diversified Industrial Trades Coordinator Doug Klein. “Quality welders are in short supply and seem to be hired very quickly. Industry wants experienced workers and appreciates the dedication of students who finish the Welding Technician Program and complete the internship.” Klein says this program and training can provide many opportunities for a student’s career. “The manufacturing workforce is nearing retirement and as industry recovers, employers are looking for talented workers that have substantial training and practice,” said Klein. “In EHOVE’s Welding Technician Program, students train and practice for real world jobs in the industry”. The Welding Technician program is based on the NCCER curriculum, which provides training for the most used, welding processes used in the industry. “Instructors for the program are industry professionals, either currently employed or retired from the trades,” said Klein. Some additional areas of knowledge students will experience are: Safety Training, CAD, Plasma Cutting, Hand and Power Tools, Construction Math, Manual and CNC Machining, and Employability. “Along with learning and practicing the most used welding procedures in the industry, welders will learn basic machining, shop safety, drawings, metallurgy, rigging and material handling,” said Klein. Students will participate in an internship at a local business to learn how industry works, how to fit into the workforce, and what is expected of them. “The internship also can provide a valuable job referral for the student,” said Klein. “The most valuable thing I have learned in this program at EHOVE is blueprint reading and welding,” said Welding graduate John Clemons. “EHOVE has been a big help for preparing me for the workforce.”

Training For A Truly Versatile Job
Quick! Guess what job is found in pretty much any industry, any business type or any city? Administrative assistants! That’s right. Nearly every business, government entity or even charitable organization needs qualified administrative support. The Professional Business Specialist Program at EHOVE Adult Career Center offers training for anyone who wants to become an Administrative Assistant, Secretary or Receptionist. Enrollment is open for the next program now. To enroll, call 419-499-4663 ext. 280. Job opportunities are great right now. “We are seeing so many jobs available in this field,” said EHOVE Adult Career Center’s Business Services Department Coordinator Candy Goff. “The job outlook is good for these students.” Students learn how to professionally use Microsoft Office 2010, employability skills, resume writing and interview techniques. They also learn QuickBooks Pro 2011 Accounting, office procedures, business writing and communications, customer service, business math, and office machines. “We give them a broad background of everything,” said Goff. Students utilizing Microsoft Office 2010 applications and are given the opportunity to take the National Certification Test for Microsoft Office 2010. “The certification is a great way for students to prove they can work these programs,” said Goff. Certified workers with proven skills contribute to a more knowledgeable and productive working environment. Research has shown that businesses with certified employees are more productive, and that certified employees bring increased value to their jobs. When students finish their classroom hours they will embark on an internship experience with a local business. “Many students are employed by graduation because of their internship,” said Goff. “We try hard to place students close to their homes for their internship and match them to the appropriate business.” “Students have an appreciation of how hard an Administrative Assistant works and all the things they are expected to know and do,” said Goff. “Students in this program graduate with a lot of self-confidence. I’ve seen a lot of growth. Students have the skills and are prepared for what’s out there in the workforce. Their certifications prove they are prepared.” Graduate Mary Molique feels EHOVE’s program was a life-changing experience. “The most valuable thing I learned is selfworth and self respect,” said Molique. She interned at the Huron Chamber of Commerce, and then found employment at N2Y (News 2 You) in Huron, where she works as an Administrative Assistant/Customer Service Representative. “EHOVE gave me all my skills I needed to be where I am now,” said Molique. “I absolutely recommend this program to anyone. So many job opportunities are available. The instructors were fantastic and made sure we succeeded. This program was the best thing I could do for myself.” Enrollment is open for the next program now. You must be a high school graduate or have a GED to register.

Huron Rides Green Wave to 38-21 Win….. Huron Rides Green Wave to 38-21 Win…..
Last Friday, an already injury riddled Huron squad met Holy Name for the second consecutive season. The Tigers started out slowly unable to generate much offense in the opening quarter, then trailing at 14-9 at the half. But Huron came out on fire in the second half. Junior QB Cody Thompson ran in two TD’s and also threw an 11 yd strike to senior WR Aaron Driftmyer during a third quarter offensive explosion to take control of the 31-14. In front of the home crowd and an excited bunch of mini-cheerleaders, Huron’s Mauricio Vazquez scored the final touchdown of the game from one yard out to make a final of 38-21.

Huron Varsity Learns From Findlay Match
The Huron Lady Tiger Volleyball team opened their season in typical coach Don Wood fashion, by facing off against one of the best teams in the State of Ohio. How else to gain the true measure of one’s ability. For the first game and a half of the 3-1 loss to Findlay, the Tigers showed what a special team they could become by the end of the season. Near the end of game 1, a 24-26 Huron win, one of the head officials was overheard commenting that this match was being played at a “(State) championship level”. The crowd was loud and the gym was warm and muggy, but the level of play was outstanding. As the match wore on the Lady Tigers showed glimpses of still being young and raw while Findlay show why they were a Division I final four team last year with an eye on the ultimate prize this year. Findlay wins 24-26; 25-16; 25-19; 25-19.

8th Grade Football Dominates in Opener
Last Wednesday, the Huron Tiger 8th Grade Football team opened the 2012 season in dominant fashion with a 34-12 victory over the visiting Western Reserve Roughriders in non-conference action. It took just ten minutes for the Tigers to race out to an insurmountable 34-0 lead. On the game’s opening play, Quarterback Michael Boston connected with Fullback Francesco Gioffre for a 33 yard pass and catch. Two plays later, Joey Harkelroad took an end-around and raced 35 yards for the Tiger score. Boston scampered in for the two point conversion and the Tigers led 8-0. Quarterback Michael Boston had a fine opener connecting on 5 of 6 passes (83%) and a TD. On the ensuing Roughrider drive, Defensive End Zach Cobleigh and Defensive Tackle Ian Wierzba put serious pressure on the Western QB, causing him to fumble the ball which Linebacker Francesco Gioffre scooped up and sprinted in for the Tiger defensive touchdown. The next two Huron drives resulted in touchdowns as the Tiger offense went to the air. Receiver Will Steuk hauled in a 5 yard scoring strike from Boston followed by a beautiful 58 yard touchdown bomb from Joey Harkelroad to Conor Fortune which put the Tigers ahead 28-0 in the 1st Quarter. Harkelroad closed out the scoring taking a designed QB run 51 yards to pay dirt at the beginning of the 2nd Quarter. “We pride ourselves on our flexibility,” said coach Adam Steinmetz, “Joey [Harkelroad] scored three touchdowns; one as running back, one throwing [Fortune] and one running as a QB. And then you have Conor [Fortune] who caught that bomb and also a big run on a Jet Sweep. Our guys can play multiple positions and we think that really helps us.” Jared Hohler hauled in two catches while Brandon Dowell had two rushes for 17 yards and also grabbed one catch. Defensively, the Tigers were led by Linebacker Colin Pender who paced the Huron defense with 6 tackles and a QB pressure. Defensive End Lorenzo Ruta chipped in 5 tackles and a QB sack. “It was a good performance and we’re glad to open with a win,” said Head Coach Chris Folger, “but we’ve got to be honest with ourselves, and the truth is, we’ve got a lot of work to do before we head into SBC play.” On Thursday, the Tigers (1-0) travel to Edison (0-1) to play the Chargers who dropped their opener to Norwalk 14-0.

FROM THE CHIEF
By Chief BoB Lippert When I was appointed to this position, I said that I was honored and privileged to serve the citizens of Huron. As I enter into my eighth month on the job, that feeling has only strengthened. I have been welcomed by the citizens of Huron with open arms. I have found that the citizens of this great city appreciate the fact that we have a police department who conducts itself in a professional manner, is accountable to itself and the public we serve, and accepts the responsibility of keeping the citizens of Huron safe and secure. The daily goal of the Huron Police Department is to be a dynamic law enforcement agency, a progressive, proactive, highly trained, cost effective agency providing the highest level of service to the citizens of Huron so that they may feel safe and secure in their community. We strive to hold ourselves accountable, to respect, to set an example by following the highest standards of conduct, maintain integrity in the pursuit of justice and to follow the Law Enforcement Canon of Ethics. The Huron Police Department is compiled of many highly trained officers who understand the previous paragraph. We are fortunate as residents of Huron to have an exceptional group of officers who take their responsibility seriously and continuously strive to provide the citizens of Huron with the highest level of law enforcement services. We have a group of officers who are willing to go “above and beyond” on a daily basis to improve the quality of life for the citizens they serve. I look forward to continuing to serve as your police chief and to meeting as many residents as possible. I wish you all the best and want you all to know that without the support and assistance of the community we serve we could not strive. The Huron Police Department is here for you and please don’t ever hesitate to call with concerns or to ask for an officer response even if you think you have a minor issue that we don’t have time to deal with. We make it a point to respond to the needs of the citizens we serve. It is no coincidence that this edition is being circulated on the anniversary of the worst terrorist attack in history on American soil, the now infamous “911 Attack on America.” We need to honor and we must always remember those who have gone before us and served in the professions of Law Enforcement and Firefighting. On September 11, 2001, 72 Police Officers and 343 Firefighters were killed while doing their job. We promise to strive everyday to make sure they did not die in vain. Thank you for your support and please never forget.

HURON BLOCK WATCH PROGRAM
By Sergeant Sean ryan The Huron Block Watch Program is simply neighbors watching out for each other. It is a program designed to get you, the resident of a neighborhood, involved in actively participating in preventing crime. This not only helps the police keep your neighborhood safe, but also improves the overall quality of life for everyone. The Huron Block Watch Program in your neighborhood will also help you become acquainted with your neighbors by working together with police to identify specific problems and concerns in your neck of the woods. You are the best judge of what is “normal” activity in your neighborhood and by using crime prevention techniques you can take back your neighborhood. The police cannot be everywhere at once and that is where you come in. By keeping an eye out for unusual or suspicious activity and calling 911, you will help police be in the right place at the right time! This works best when organized throughout the neighborhood to ensure maximum effectiveness. Starting a Block Watch is easy! Just talk to your neighbors and set a time and place to meet. Contact the Huron Police Department (419)433-4114 (Sgt. Sean Ryan) and we will arrange for a Crime Prevention Officer to attend your meeting. The officer will provide valuable information on simple prevention techniques you can use to make your neighborhood and home safer. Something new that is being added will be weekly updates via e-mail of criminal activity in the area that may affect your neighborhood. The Huron Police Department is looking to add more neighborhoods to those already participating. So if you are interested please contact us so we can keep Huron a Great Lake Place!

New Improved Ambulances of the Huron Fire Department
CApt. Kurt sChAfEr In August of 2011, the Huron Fire Department placed into service a new medium duty Horton ambulance to replace the existing smaller lighter duty model you have been accustom to seeing in Huron for the last few decades. Due to a consistent annual increase in squad calls, we were forced into a heavier duty model that was going to hold up better to the demands our ambulances now require. This increase in ambulance calls trend is continuing as we have handled 83 more calls this year than we did last year at this time! This new ambulance has served as our first out (primary) ambulance since August and already has 24,000 miles. The heavier duty suspensions and larger chassis on these modBy

School resource officer/ dare program
By offiCEr KEith loBsinGEr The School Resource Officer (SRO) position is in its 10th year with the Huron City School District, which consists of four schools: Huron High School, McCormick Junior High , Woodlands Intermediate, and Shawnee Elementary. I am in my third year of assignment as the School Resource Officer and look forward to teaching D.A.R.E. for the first time this year. Officer Curt Fleming has taught D.A.R.E. for several years in the Huron Schools. In an effort to streamline services, the Huron Police Department combined the duties of the School Resource and D.A.R.E. Officer. The SRO is expected to participate in school functions and connect with the students he or she is responsible for protecting. The past school year I taught classes at the High School, including drug/alcohol laws and sex offense laws to the High School Health classes. In addition to these classes, I conducted a fingerprinting presentation to the Forensics Science class, and talked with the Social Studies class about several legal and Law Enforcement related topics during their studies of “Street Law.” At McCormick Junior High, I talked with the 7th graders about “bullying,” “sexting,” and telecommunications law. Also at McCormick, the 8th grade Language Arts students read the book, “Twelve Angry Men.” When the students were finished reading the book Huron City Prosecutor Laura Alkire and I talked with the students about several legal topics related to the story. The Ohio Department of Public Safety funds a third grade seat belt program that was presented to all third graders in the city, including St. Peter’s School. With the assistance of a high school teacher, I organized a “Don’t text and Drive” program. The students were able to use a simulator to see and feel, first hand, the dangers of texting while driving. Important to note, the SRO position and the DARE Program are funded in part by a drug use prevention grant awarded annually by the State of Ohio. The grant provides funding for one half of the assigned officer’s salary. The remaining balance is split equally between three entities: the City of Huron, Huron Township, and the Huron City School District. This position would not be possible without the cooperation of the Huron City School District, the Huron Township Trustees and the city of Huron. The SRO position demonstrates the commitment of the Huron Police Department and the aforementioned entities to the safety and security of our most valued asset, our children.

els have already proven to hold up better to the daily wear and tear than our older smaller models. This mainly saves money for the City on maintenance and decreases the overall time our ambulances need to be out of service for preventative maintenance and repairs. We are expecting delivery of a second medium duty Horton ambulance in late September of this year. This will replace the last of our smaller duty ambulances and will be almost identical to our current primary medium duty ambulance mentioned above. We at the Huron Fire department look forward to this delivery in the near future to help us better serve the citizens and visitors of the City of Huron and Huron Township.

Huron Fire Department Explorer Post #2421
By ExplorEr Austin GArdnEr The Huron Fire Explorers is a program that offers high school students between the ages 16 and 18, the opportunity to learn the daily roles and responsibilities of a Firefighter/EMT. This program allows high school students to gain firsthand experience of what it is like to have a job in the fire service. This real life experience helps students see if they want to pursue a career in the fire service. The explorers are expected to maintain a 2.5 or higher GPA throughout the school year. Explorers are encouraged to do homework and other school work while doing ride time. Each Explorer must ride a minimum of 8 hours per month. While doing ride time, Explorers are expected to respond to all EMS and fire related calls, and assist personnel as needed. While on scene Explorers are expected to retrieve equipment and assist as needed during incidents and as well as know where the equipment is located at all times. Each Explorer is encouraged to attend monthly trainings, these trainings include; acquired structure burns, car extrication, wild land fire tactics, ladder operations, search and rescue, fire attack, ventilation, and forceful entry. Explorers have the opportunity to learn in real life situations, such as on scene at a structure fire or on an EMS call. When on scene, Explorers may be asked to do simple task, such as assisting firefighters in rehab, or assisting the Chief with command related tasks. Explorers have the ability to learn leadership skills and the responsibilities that come with the fire service. The Huron Fire Department currently has four explorers on the roster. The roster is kept at a maximum of five explorers. The Huron explorers will be accepting applications until December of 2012. Any High School age students interested in joining the explorers can contact Lieutenant Kenneth Berlin, or Explorer Austin Gardner.

5 Ways to Help Prevent a House Fire
House fires are the number-one disaster threat to homeowners. Between 350,000 and 400,000 house fires occur each year in the United States. Unlike natural disasters such as tornadoes and floods, house fires are often preventable. Observe National Fire Prevention Week this year by taking these fire-prevention steps to help keep your home and your family safe. Avoid the sun. Flammable products such as paint thinner and lacquer can be ignited by heat sources around your home—even by sunlight streaming through a window. Always keep flammable products in a cool, dark place and in their original containers. Control candles. Keep lit candles away from materials that could easily catch fire, such as curtains. Never light candles when you’re feeling drowsy—accidentally falling asleep plays a role in 12 percent of all candle fires. Opt for battery-operated candles if you want a little bedtime glow. Enjoy your fireplace safely. The National Fire Protection Association recommends making sure your fireplace has a sturdy screen to prevent sparks from flying into the room. Also, allow fireplace and wood/pellet/coal stove ashes to cool before disposing in a metal container. Keep your stove company. Never leave the kitchen when you have food cooking on the stove. If you must leave the kitchen for any reason, remove the pan from the heat and turn the burner off. Care for your cords. Electrical cords can produce heat, so make sure they have room to “breathe.” Never trap them tightly between a piece of furniture and the wall or run them under a rug. Check the condition of cords regularly. Frayed wires or those damaged by pets are potential fire starters.

Huron Police Dept. Marine Patrol
By offiCEr ryAn BoEsCh The Huron Police Department takes great pride in participating in marine patrol every summer. The goal of which is the protection of life and property in the waterways around the City of Huron. This is accomplished through conducting investigations as a result of a boating casualty or boating accident. The Huron Police Marine Patrol unit is comprised of the entire staff of full-time officers and one part-time officer. To be part of the Huron Police Marine Patrol Unit an officer must attend an approved waterway enforcement officer training approved by the agency. This generally means sending an officer to a week-long course taught by the Ohio Department of Natural Recourses – Division of Watercraft. A fully-equipped, 1999 26 foot Boston Whaler, donated by the Cleveland office of the Division of Watercraft, makes marine patrol possible. In addition, a grant through the Ohio Department of Natural Resources – Division of Watercraft is responsible for funding 75% of expenses related to marine patrol to include equipment, fuel, boat storage, and salaries of officers. The remaining 25% is a required minimum match for the grant provided through budgeting from the City of Huron. With these resources available to the police department, the marine patrol is able to be a great success. The police department yearly averages 100 written safety inspections, over 100 safety spot checks, and 500 boater contacts. In addition, the Marine Patrol unit actively participates in the Huron Water Safety Days program and the Ohio Homeland Security based Northern Border Initiative. The Huron Police Marine Patrol unit desires to work closely with the boating community to provide the safest waterways within the City of Huron. Contact is best made through the non-emergency phone number, (419) 433-4114, or through e-mail at huronpolice@ cityofhuron.org.
