Fallen Heroes Memorial Dedication

Last Thursday, October 24th, 2013 at 8:00 pm at Huron Memorial Stadium the Huron community gathered to unveil and dedicate a 9.5 foot wide by 5.5 foot tall granite Fallen Heroes Memorial to honor the local war heroes and their families. The memorial is engraved with 61 names of those from Huron who have been killed in action while serving in the United State Military. The Huron Historical Society assisted with the project by researching the names of the fallen heroes, some dating back to the Civil War and World Wars I & II. The new granite memorial will serve as a reminder to the community that freedom is not free, stated Huron Alum and project coordinator Mr. Paul Ward. MARINES FOREVER, a group of former Marines, served as the honor guard for the ceremony. In addition to presenting the colors, they also red off 3 volleys symbolic of duty, honor, and country. The ceremony was primarily student led with the Marching Band playing the Armed Forces Melody and the Battle Hymn of the Republic . The High School Choir sang the Nation Anthem and both the cheerleaders and football team had pertinent roles in the unveiling and laying of the wreath. Huron Superintendent, Mr. Dennis Muratori addressed the community with opening remarks, while Mr. Paul Ward concluded the event. The ceremony was open to the public with approximately 200 people in attendance. Through fundraising efforts, the Huron community has raised over $12,000 since 2008 to make the Fallen Heroes Memorial a reality. The new memorial will serve as

Wear WHITE for Hannah Miller Friday Night Football Game

Huron students and the entire community are asked to once again show their support for yet another Huron student, Junior, Hannah Miller, as she continues to battle Osteosarcomas bone cancer. This is a very crucial time for Hannah, as she is going through her home stretch of chemotherapy and is in need of that extra push to overcome the difculties she is enduring. The Teen Leadership Class of Huron High School is asking the Huron community and anyone planning to attend the Friday Night Football Game against Clyde to show their support in a stadium WHITE out . The TLC would like those attending the game to wear WHITE for Hannah and her family on Friday, Nov. 1st during the last home football game. The Teen Leadership Class is looking forward to seeing how the Huron community will come together in support of a great cause. Bone cancer is a relatively rare disease in which cancer cells grow in the bone tissue. In the year 2013, only about 3,010 new cases have been diagnosed. There are no known causes, but genetics can play a large role in this disease. Children and teens are most at risk for bone cancer during their adolescent growth spurts. Hannah Miller, a 16 year old junior at Huron High School is one of the few who has been unfortunately affected by this disease. Hannah has always been actively involved in many extracurricular activities, including varsity volleyball, throughout high school. Unfortunately, after being diagnosed with Osteosarcomas bone cancer, her everyday teen

activities have been put to a halt. In addition to the Stadium WHITE Out being planned for the home Football Game Friday Night there is also an All You Can Eat Wings Benet planned in Hannahs honor on Thursday, November 17, from Noon to 4:00 at the Huron Brass Pelican. The proceeds from this All You Can Eat Wings Benet will help Hannahs parents offset some of the costs of her treatment and related expenses. Tickets are $20 for adults and $15 for students. The Benet is open to the public and tickets may be purchased in the High School Main Ofce. Mr. Scott Matheny, Principal, has details, for questions call: 419-433-1234 or email: Smatheny@huronhs.com.

Huron City Schools, EHOVE Seek Levies

BY LISA YAKO
Good schools are truly an assest to any community. To achieve success and produce well-performing schools, the community must make an investment in their schools and students. On November 5, Huron residents will have an opportunity to show their support for both the Huron City Schools and EHOVE Career Center. The Huron City Schools are seeking a renewal of their current 5.9-mill operating levy. Basically, voters are being asked to approve an extension of what they are currently paying. According the Mike Weis, treasurer for the Huron City Schools, This is a renewal levy which means there would be no increase in taxes. Valuation (of properties) is based on when this levy was rst put on the ballot. The valuation used to determine the tax will be based on that original value of the home at that time, not its current value. Hence, what you are paying for the levy now will remain the same for the next ve years if the levy should

be approved. This levy is important for the operation of our schools. Weis explained that The renewal levy on the ballot is critical to the Districts nancial health. While we do have some problems, the passage of the levy will enable us, with certain actions, to avoid a return to the ballot for new money anywhere from two to three years. This means it will be 12 plus years since the last tax increase. A failure of this levy would limit our exibility and result in forcing us to the ballot sooner than any of us would like. One of the problems that Weis mentioned is the fact that state funding has continued to be cut, and there is no plan for reinstatement of funding from the state in the near future. Hence, failure to pass this renewal levy will put a major strain on the district and many cuts will have to be made. EHOVE Career Center is seeking 0.5-mill replacement of the levy that was most currently passed in 2008. If approved, this levy will cost the owner of a home valued at $100,000 an additional $9.30 per year. EHOVEs levy dollars

will be used for operating costs such as updating equipment and instructional materials so as to maintain stateof-the-art career tech programs. EHOVE trains over 3,500 high school and adult students each year for in-demand careers critical to growing our local economy. According to the EHOVE web site,Students are given the opportunity to take challenging academic classes in a customized and relevant curriculum to prepare them for a specic career or college, and learn skills to advance in the trade of their choice, for now or the future. This type of alternative education provides valuable opportunities for specialized education for a variety of students. When you complete your ballot on November 5, consider the investment that you can make in your community by showing your support for the Huron City Schools and EHOVE. The future of our schools and ultimately the success of our students lie in your hands.

Around Town 2 Hellmanns Makes Donation The Glass Menagerie at to Huron High School BGSU Firelands Theatre
Thursday, October 31st, 2013 www.HuronHometownNews.com
This season, Americas favorite mayonnaise is supporting Huron High School by providing a donation as part of Hellmanns Real Whipped Tangy Dressings season long sponsorship. At the Huron High School football game on October 18th Hellmanns delivered a check to the Huron High School Athletic Director. High school sports are an integral part of many communities in America, and student athletes are supported on a daily basis by their moms and families. Hellmanns recognizes this, and is proud to be supporting 95 high schools across the Midwest and Central regions of the country this season. Bowling Green State University Firelands College Theatre begins its 46th season next month with the presentation of The Glass Menagerie , by Tennessee Williams, directed by Grechen Lynne Wingerter.The Glass Menagerie was Williams's rst successful play; he went on to become one of America's most highly regarded playwrights. It is a highly autobiographical play that tells the story of Amanda Wingeld, a faded, tragic remnant of Southern gentility who lives in poverty in a dingy St. Louis apartment with her son, Tom, and her daughter, Laura. Amanda strives to give meaning and direction to her life and the lives of her children, though her methods are ineffective and irritating. Tom is driven nearly to distraction by his mother's nagging and seeks escape in alcohol and the world of the movies. Laura also lives in her illusions. She is crippled, and this defect, intensied by her mother's anxiety to see her married, has driven her more and more into herself. The crux of the action comes when Tom invites a young man of his acquaintance to take dinner with the family. Jim, the caller, is a nice ordinary fellow who is at once pounced upon by Amanda as a possible husband for Laura. In spite of her crude and obvious efforts to entrap the young man, he and Laura manage to get along very nicely, and momentarily Laura is lifted out of herself into a new world. But this crashes when, toward the end, Jim explains that he is already engaged. The world of illusion that Amanda and Laura have striven to create in order to make life bearable collapses about them. Tom,

The Right Path

Some of us are lucky enough to know and love what we do for our careers from the beginning. Kevin McGraw of Huron has felt that way for a long time. McGraw enrolled in the Public Safety Academy program his junior and senior year of high school. After attending college, 4EHOVE Adult Career Center helped him to continue his education where he received the National Registry Paramedic certication and the Fire Inspector certication. The skills I got here was the perfect jumpstart to get me in the right direction to being a full time Paramedic Fireghter, said McGraw. Getting those skills out of high school had me prepared to get going early. I was ahead certication-wise when I got to college.In addition to working as a Paramedic Fireghter, McGraw enjoys using his Fireghter EMT skills to teach at EHOVE.Students are receiving real on-the-job training by getting the skills and information they need to be successful when they get to be in that hiring position, said McGraw. Whats great about EHOVE Career Center is that they continue to grow. They have the best equipment to get your hands on the upcoming technologies and teach you whats going on.

o Failure to obtain a timely Single Audit o Findings for recovery less than $100 oPublic meetings or public records We always expect to receive a clean audit, said Hanneman. Thats what we are hired to do to be in good stead with and accountable to the taxpayers now and in the future. EHOVEs audit was an expedited audit which requires the Audit be completed 60 days after the Fiscal Yearend (6/30/13). The district was one of the rst in the area to undergo the process. According to Hanneman, the expedited audit is good for planning and management of funds throughout the year. The audits results recognize that EHOVE has met its nancial and legal requirements on federal, state and local levels. Hanneman was pleased with the results, but focused on acknowledging the work by his department staff. This audit pinpoints the quality work of our EHOVE staff, he said. We accomplished this by working together in the same direction.

Community members have already pointed out in reader forums that PAC supporters of Asher, Bulea and Muehlhauser have published large amounts of incorrect information to get their candidates elected to the school board.

The PAC Campaign of Misinformation Continues:

Myth: Board members should not dismiss ODE rulings Fact: The ODE hearing is part of a superintendents due process and is a necessary step. The referees opinion is not legally binding. Recent court cases involving Bellevue and Toledo schools demonstrate that the courts will counter ODE recommendations and uphold local boards decisions to terminate employees who commit wrong doings. Myth: Confidential information is being distributed by those opposing the PACs candidates Fact: The only information we are aware of that is being distributed is absolutely considered public record. To say otherwise can only be construed as intimidation. Myth: The business community has turned its back on our school district Fact: Our relationship with local businesses and civic organizations is as strong as ever. We continue to receive gifts from the PTO and various businesses throughout the community. Athletic Boosters ad revenue is as high as it has been in 13 years. Additionally, Sharpnack Chevrolet donated a $15,000 car to be used as a fundraiser. Myth: The current board is not being fiscally responsible Fact: The 5 year forecast indicates the districts finances are exactly at the point that has been forecasted for several years. The former superintendent situation has not impacted the overall financial position of the district. Myth: The board majority ignored policy and violated Sunshine Laws Fact: The majority followed policy and provided due process. No Sunshine laws were broken. Every action taken that required a vote was taken in public with all five voting and the majority never met in private. Fighting against a majority vote, Mr. Asher created chaos, along with legal fees to the taxpayers by filing a lawsuit against the district that was thrown out by the courts. Myth: The investigation of the former superintendent could have been handled internally at no cost Fact: An investigation could not have been handled by any district personnel who reports to the superintendent, and a board that has members so dug in with their protection of an employee is not capable of a fair and impartial investigation. The board has an obligation to protect all employeesnot just one. Further, the boards regular attorneys hourly rate is higher than that of the attorneys used for the investigation. Myth: The districts finances are spiraling out of control and the PAC candidates can restore fiscal stability Fact: Under new leadership, the district instituted $652,000 in cost savings for the 2013/2014 school year. Mr. Asher voted no on the initiative to assign transportation director responsibilities to a principal, an initiative that resulted in annual savings of over $100,000. Mrs. Bulea approved a more than 8% raise for Mr. Fox in 2005, shortly after Huron citizens passed an 8.9 mil levy.

points of the evening. RB Andrew Dowell also ran the ball into the endzone from 3 yards out during the third period. Zach Souter caught three Thompson passes for 49 yards while Nick Stauffer had the long reception of the night for 42 yards. The Huron defense also played well allowing only one successful reception out of 11 attempts to the Charger offense. They also forced an interception and four fumbles (two lost) during the game. The nal regular season game is a showdown in Huron against the Clyde Flyers. With a victory, there is a chance the Tigers could lock up a home playoff game. Huron currently holds a 7-2 overall record and is 5-1 in the SBC.

New Fall Colors for your Gardens

Now is a great time to check your landscape for needed color. Perhaps you need more color in view of the road, or of the house, or how about just off the patio, so you can enjoy the colors all during fall. The following are some ideas which really add color to your yards, and are easy to manage as well. Remember you can plant in our area until the ground freezes, usually in late November. Common Witchhazel, Hamamelis virginiana is a fantastic shrub that give you a double dose of color. In spring it's the rst to bloom in late Feb or early March, and then in the fall the whole tree lights up with astounding color of vibrant yellow. The small tree produces small creamy owers in early fall, followed by full color yellow. The shrub loves to grow in full sun to part shade, and in

slightly acid soil, that is well drained and moist. It will got to stand 10-20' tall and 15-25' wide, so plant it where it can have room to spread out. Reblooming bearded iris, 'immortality' is also a wonderful perennial that reblooms late in September to October. I have seen the white 'immortality' bloom both spring and summer in my own gardens, and have really enjoyed it. It loves full sun, and average, well drained soil. It grows to 24" tall, and makes a clump to 24" wide. Oakleaf hydrangea, Hydrangea quercifolia is a dramatic shrub that grows into a pyramidal shape with white clusters of owers in the spring, but in the fall the leaves turn purple, crimson, and bronze, and is a knockout in your landscape. The shrub loves full sun to part shade, in

rich moist well drained soul. It grows to 8" tall and wide. Another shrub I enjoy is "Beautyberry" which works well in a perennial border, or allow it to stand alone as a spotlight in your landscape. It survives to 20 below zero, and in late summer has pink owers which by fall turn into dark to light purple berries all in a row, tightly placed on the top of the branching stems. It holds until frost. Plant it among yellow blooms shrubs for a gorgeous spot in your landscape. The shrub grows to a maximum of 5' at maturity. Here's hoping that you have gotten some new ideas and are already thinking about adding new things to your landscape for next year. Happy Gardening.

tional by the Ohio Supreme Court but without a remedy. Huron is considered a rich district by the State and the majority of our funding comes from the local taxpayer. I believe that we owe it to the taxpayers to manage the District as efcient as possible and work on what we can control, expenditures. I am committed, along with Kevin Asher and Eric Muehlhauser, to identify and implement immediate cost saves that will have the least impact on academics. In this manner we must STRETCH the remaining cash reserve before we can come to the taxpayers and request new money. While this may not sound creative, it is what must happen. I urge Huron taxpayers to vote yes on the 5.9 renewal levy. It will not raise taxes. Next year we will be putting the 1.25 mil renewal levy on the ballot as this levy also expires at the end of 2014 and it also must pass. It is unfortunate that the current Board missed an opportunity to put into place cost savings that would have saved $4.3 million over the forecasted years. The majority Board members were focused on other matters and took their eye off of scal management. The Board should take the advice given to us by our experts, the Treasurer and Superintendent instead of dismissing it. A District cannot have a successful academic system in place without a strong balance sheet. 2. How do you see education and the means of teaching our students changing in the future? First it is important to recognize that our current systems are working as evidenced by the improvement increase in State Report Card Performance Index scores of 89.7 in 2002 to 103.4 in 2013. This is a tribute to teachers, administrators and students. However we cannot rest on our laurels. Todays demands on educators can be overwhelming. The bar is being raised on academics. Ohio is among 45 states nationwide, which have adopted Common Core Standards. These are clear educational objectives that students are expected to learn in grades K-12. Our teachers are responsible for writing our local standards. Along with these standards, Ohio along with 19 other states will enact by the 2014-2015 school year, Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC). These tests are computer based and assess critical thinking, math reasoning and problem solving instead of just lling in the blank or giving a correct multiple choice answer. Upon completion of these tests, results will be evaluated and improvements made to problem areas. Along with these new standards, comes the Ohio Teacher Evaluation System (OTES). Teachers will be rated 50% on teacher performance through administrators evaluations and 50% on student growth measures. Our teachers and administrators have attacked and implemented these new programs with academic improvements as their foremost goal. Technology will play a huge part in these two new programs and we should provide necessary resources to support the needs required to compliment the above programs. 3. In light of recent school shootings, what suggestions do you have for keeping our schools safe? Huron Schools have a safety plan in place. I support the continued updating and improvement of this plan as we do each year. Our buildings are secure and have restricted entry at each location. Also, we are fortunate to have a Resource Ofcer in our system. The students and teachers have safety drills and are aware of the procedures put in place in the horrible event that they are needed. As with tornado and re drills, being prepared to react quickly without fear is the key to keeping everyone safe. In every school tragedy upon completion of after the fact evaluations, signals were there. It is also important that we provide a safe, secure and private environment for our students to come forward and report potential abnormal behaviors. We as leaders need to provide this education to our students and faculty by bringing in resources that have real-world experiences that the students can relate to. We must continue to teach, instill and promote the need for students and faculty to come forward and report abnormities that can be investigated by professionals.

Candidates
another district or consortium like we do health insurance? Where can we utilize technology to save money? Do we have policies and procedures that are efcient and effective or do we do things because that is the way we have always done them? Are we holding everyone within the organization accountable and responsible for spending? 2. How do you see education and the means of teaching our students changing in the future? What do the Huron schools need to do to stay competitive? Children come to school as kindergarteners already exposed to technology. They have a different attention span than children a decade ago. They are curious and eager to learn therefore teachers must challenge themselves to meet the individual needs of these fast paced children. The world expects students to graduate career and college ready with a higher level of problem solving skills and a commitment to be life- long learners. Teachers must prepare students for the high demands of todays world. The new Common Core Standards along with the new PARCC assessments are two examples of the new demands being placed on teachers and students. The Ohio Department of Education will soon replace the Ohio Graduation Tests with new assessments to determine graduation eligibility and teachers must prepare students for these new academic measurements. Teachers and administrators are now held to a much higher level of accountability than ever before through a new evaluation system that is based on student performance. Never in the history of education has educators been held directly accountable for individual student academic performance. Huron City Schools must meet the needs of its customers to stay competitive. Customers include all stakeholders such as parents, students, business and industry, taxpayers, colleges and universities, technical schools, employers, and the community. Huron City Schools must uphold high academic standards while meeting every students individual needs, offer students a variety of academic choices and pathways, offer extra-curricular and co-curricular activities, and maintain a healthy, safe environment. This is a tall order but in todays environment of parental choice through open enrollment and online learning opportunities, high expectations of post-secondary education and employers, and the existing school climate, it is the minimum we must do. 3. In light of recent school shootings, what suggestions do you have for keeping our schools safe? Administrators, teachers, support staff and students must be taught to be proactive. Everyone within the school district must always be aware of their surroundings, of potential situations, and listen to what is being said. No one can take a chance and not take a potential situation seriously. It is very important to practice, practice, practice, and to be prepared. People will resort to what they know in a panic situation and therefore it is important to practice. Children are not injured in school res because they know what to do. Unfortunately we must teach our children what to do in an intruder or shooting situation. I would like to see Huron Schools utilize the ALICE training as a means to prepare staff and children. 4. What motivates you to serve on the Huron School Board? In June of 2012 I began asking for public records regarding a variety of situations within the school district. It was clear to me that there was a lack of accountability with some board members prior to February 2012. I became a regular attendee of board meetings since and have watched a transformation take place within the organization. Under the leadership of the deputy superintendent, positive changes started to take place including accountability within the system and progress in the area of academics which will move our students to the next level. It is important for the district to continue to move forward and believe we cannot afford to slip back into the old ways of some of our previous boards. I believe members of a school board have a responsibility to the students we educate, the parents who place their trust in the schools to educate their children, and the taxpayers who fund their education. With my experience as an educator, I have rst- hand knowledge of the issues that school districts face and I am willing to take on the responsibility of serving the community as one of its board members.

Kevin Asher
1. As state funding to schools continues to be cut, what creative ideas do you have for keeping our schools aoat? The budget for the Huron City Schools is lled with red ink. The looming potential legal costs, declining enrollment, and uncertain state funding cuts make the situation dire with a 5year forecast inundated with red numbers. At this point, everything must be on the table as solutions. The obvious area to address rst is staffing levels, especially with a declining enrollment. Next years negotiations with the teachers union is critical and will be a determining factor in how much gets cut and where. We should look at shared services with the city, other school systems, the library, the county, and any other entity that performs many of the same functions. The areas that can be affected by this are endless; foodservice, janitorial, transportation, certain administrative positions, teaching staff, etc. The roadblock with some sharing of services is the contractual agreements currently in place with the classied and non-classied unions. Technology can help as we move from text books to electronic information. With declining enrollment we should look at a single bus run for all students which would also allow us to start each school at the same time and get kids home earlier than we do now. This would also relieve pressure on the transportation department with less miles and time needed for supervision. Getting out of our legal issues would also bring some certainty to the budget. Reviewing all the supplemental contracts is necessary, from coaching staffs to clubs to mentoring positions, etc. We need to redene the high school as we send countless students to BGSU during the day to get an early start with college credits. The program is great but we havent adjusted at the high school completely. The state clearly needs to come to grips with school funding. The system needs an overhaul. We must get teachers on board with the changes. New teachers need to be paid more to start. The step increase system needs to be changed. All that needs to be done while keeping teachers who have been in the system a long time whole and honoring our agreements with them. As a last resort, with declining enrollment and a budget awash in red ink, we may have to consider closing a school and going back to three buildings. The savings in staff at all levels would be signicant. I dont like this idea right now. I think that the expansion to four buildings has been one of the factors that has led to our high test scores. Without new money we may not have a choice. The community needs to decide what works best for them in funding, property tax versus income tax, is retire-rehire something they can live with. Those are issues that need to be discussed in an open forum as a community. We need the community to pass the renewal levy that is on the ballot and pass the next one that is not yet on the ballot. Lastly, all funding in the schools name needs to go through our treasurers ofce. 2. How do you see education and the means of teaching our students changing in the future? Teaching and learning need to become a 21st century endeavor. Again, technology, on-line coursework, more use of BGSU and other educational institutions are necessary. Getting teachers on board with all this is critical. When we look at grants and programs like Race to the Top and the Straight A grants, we need to have teachers as part of the decision making process. We have to convince teachers that the new Ohio Teacher Evaluation System is a good thing and helps make them better educators. It should not be seen as an attempt to criticize teachers, but an attempt to help them allow our students achieve. Huron has a number of teachers who have volunteered to pilot the evaluation system, almost a third. We need to get the other two-thirds on board. As achievement rises, so do our chances of having a grateful community help fund more and better programs. We need to create a professional learning community that involves committees of teachers, administrators, citizens, and others for curriculum, honors and AP curriculum, data analysis, technology, intervention and response to that intervention all with the goal of improving achievement. We need regular department meetings to discuss goals and how to attain them, to understand and implement student learning objectives required by the evaluation system, and to promote mentoring and interaction among colleagues. All this will help identify our strengths and weaknesses and move forward developing plans to get all on board, teachers, administrators, parents, students, and the community. We should continually see what other school systems are doing and having success implementing. 3. In light of recent school shootings, what suggestions do you have for keeping our schools safe? Keeping schools safe is as important as educational achievement. They go hand in hand. A safe place to learn leads to achievement. This is a community issue. Training teachers to be aware of their surroundings is critical. Knowing what to do in a bad situation is critical. At Huron we are training and implementing the ALICE program with the guidance of our school resource ofcer and the police department as a whole. We have had the good fortune of signicant donations from the Huron Eagles to upgrade our security and technology systems. We need to review all this annually to make sure what we are doing is correct. We need teachers and administrators to be vigilant. They need to know the signs of a troubled youth or a youth in a difcult situation. They need to be aware of bullying as best they can. We need help from parents. They too must be aware of what is going on in their childs life. Be aware of what they do with social media. Do not tolerate bullying in any form. Do not be afraid to report what you may think is wrong and want to get corrected. Stand up to bullies. Help those who stand up to bullies. Dont tolerate it in school or anywhere else whether school related or not. As the ALICE program teaches, be alert, lockdown, inform, confront, and evacuate. 4. What motivates you to serve on the Huron School Board? My motivation to run for the School Board is simple, I think I can help. My father graduated from Huron and served as its mayor for 16 years, my brother and my sister graduated from Huron as did I, my children and my nephews graduated from Huron, I have a grandson at Huron. All are successful and the education they received from Huron Schools is a big part of that success. This school system has given my family a lot, and I am obligated to give back to it.

We have used security rms to maximize our childrens safety; initiating practices such as locked down entrances and exits, as well as check points for all visitors coming onto our premises during the day. We have allocated resources from our permanent improvement fund to prepare for actions we hope never happen. On a nonfacility level, we have invested in character and bullying education, as bullying is many times the rationale behind an individuals attack on students and/or staff. 4. What motivates you to serve on the Huron School Board? Serving on school board is a challenge and a joy. Education is an extremely important issue in Huron; people have strong beliefs about what should or should not occur in the schools. Dealing with challenges such as limited resources, changing demographics, and everhigher expectations requires tact, patience and a strong commitment to the children in our community. Setting the vision for education in the local community, making curriculum decisions, allocating resources and establishing student performance standards are just a few of the types of issues that boards must face. But the rewards of serving on a local board of education are also great. The work we do now will inuence the lives of children well into the future, even though we may no longer serve on the board. The future of our community (and our nation) begins in our classrooms. est link, a school district is only as strong as its weakest students. Using evidenced-based methods that are guaranteed to meet the needs of the struggling student will benet ALL students and improve the educational outcome for ALL students. This is not a matter of dumbing down the curriculum, but rather, it is making the curriculum and learning accessible to ALL students. 3. In light of recent school shootings, what suggestions do you have for keeping our schools safe? I would recommend to continue the resource ofcer program as this provides a valuable service to the district to keep students and personnel safe. Even though Ohios gun law allows school boards to authorize school employees to possess weapons on school grounds if those employees pass the requirements of the concealed-carry law, I am not an advocate of this policy. There are several Ohio school districts (Montpelier, Orville, Newcornerstown, and Edgewood) that allow school personnel with concealed weapon permits to carry guns to school. I strongly believe that only those with extensive training and experience, such as law enforcement, should be allowed to carry guns onto school grounds. Law enforcement personnel go through extensive training that is continually updated so that these personnel have the skills to act appropriately when confronted with dangerous situations. Those that do not have this extensive training do not have the necessary experience to act appropriately when confronted in

dangerous situations and this may result in unintended tragedy. 4. What motivates you to serve on the Huron School Board For the last 1.5 years or so, I have been trying to push the district to improve their reading program by advocating for a structured language literacy program that is explicit, systematic, and evidenced-based, such as the Wilson Reading program in which teachers recently received training in. I have also been advocating for the early identication of struggling readers and for providing those students with the appropriate intervention. If a struggling reader is caught in kindergarten or 1st grade and given 30 minutes a day of appropriate intervention, the child will be reading on par with his peers by the end of 3rd grade. If a struggling reader is caught after 2nd grade, that child will require 2 hours a day of intervention and will never read as uently as his peers. Not only will this save the child from future struggles, but it will also save the school district future costs in special education and will also improve student prociency and educational outcomes. I thought that maybe I could be more effective as a school board member rather than just a parent, which is one reason why I am running for school board. The other reason why I am running is that I feel very

1. As state funding to schools continues to be cut, what creative ideas do you have for keeping our schools aoat? In order to increase revenue, we need to attract businesses and families that want to move here by offering something that is uniquely provided by our school district and community. Behind every vibrant community is an excellent school system, which is the heart of a community because it attracts families and businesses that want to move here and stay here, thus increasing revenue. The school board needs members that understand this reciprocal relationship between a community and its school system and that work in tandem to develop both. Another opportunity to increase revenue is to nd out why the district is losing approximately $285,200 annually in payments to other districts for the roughly 50 students that opt out of the Huron City School District to open enroll in other districts (source: Treasurers Notes can be found on www.huronhs.com). What are these districts offering to these students that Huron City School District is not providing and what is the cost benet ratio for Huron to meet their needs? Other options to increase school funding: Pursue grants to support educational initiatives. There are many grant opportunities. One example is The Straight A Fund which promotes innovative local ideas and programs to help transform and modernize Ohios education system. Huron City School District just applied for this grant with a proposal to transform educational delivery in collaboration with Bowling Green State University, which if awarded, would provide over $170,000 for this educational initiative. Establish a non-prot, 501(c)(3) corporation designed to support and enhance the educational experience of Huron City School District students. This would provide an opportunity for local businesses, organizations, and community members to contribute tax-deductible donations. Partner with local organizations, such as the Rotary Club, Lions Club, and Kiwanis since basic education and literacy are areas of focus for these organizations and such organizations are required to do annual initiatives for their community service goals. 2. How do you see education and the means of teaching our students changing in the future? What do the Huron schools need to do to stay competitive? The educational eld is changing rapidly with mandates such as the 3rd grade reading guarantee, the implementation of the Common Core State Standards, and the development of a new teacher rating system based on student prociency. Huron must adopt evidencedbased methods in order to meet these new mandates and to ensure all students are procient. A strong educational foundation must be built during the early elementary years and students must learn subjects to mastery. Students that are struggling in the early years (k-3) need to be identied and given the additional support they need in order to be successful so they have a solid educational foundation to build future skills and knowledge on. Like a chain that is only as strong as its weak-

Candidates
the children of this district to receive the same excellent education that I received from the Huron school system and my commitment to community service that motivated me to want to serve on the Huron School Board. have great partnerships with local institutions of higher learning. We are currently delivering quality curriculum opportunities in partnership with BGSU Firelands and the University of Findlay. In our buildings today we are focusing on the Third Grade Reading Guarantee, the Ohio Teacher and Principal Evaluation System, and the Common Core. In this new world of open-enrollment, we must think of our students and parents as customers, and we must work to provide them with stellar educational opportunities in order to retain their business. 3. In light of recent school shootings, what suggestions do you have for keeping our schools safe? The safety of our children and our staff is the top priority. To keep our schools safe everyone involved with our schools must stay current. Moving our 5th and 6th graders out of the annex at McCormick was a necessary step in that direction. Recent research suggests that there are better ways to mitigate the devastation of school shootings and intrusion incidents. Our staff will be involved in extensive training in December to address this very issue. We use nger printing technology, security cameras, and background checking. And we will continue to look to enhance these measures. Our School Resource Ofcer Keith Lobsinger and the Huron Police Department are a valuable piece to our overall security. This partnership is absolutely vital. 4. What motivates you to serve on the Huron School Board? Huron has provided us with a wonderful place to raise our family. When I was rst elected to the Board eight years ago, I wanted to give back to the community. Today this is still what motivates me. I offer 20 years of Human Resources experience and have expertise in Labor Relations. I am committed to scal responsibility, and I have high expectations of our entire staff. The district now has an excellent Leadership Team in place and we are engaging the community once again. The district is moving forward to new levels of success. If elected to another term, I will continue to do everything possible to give our children opportunities to be successful. If elected to another term I will continue to represent the entire community.

strongly that new members are needed to change the direction of the school board to put the focus back on our children and their education. School Board members without children in the district or that have not kept up with the everchanging educational requirements have lost touch with what is required to successfully move a district forward. As a parent of 4th and 5th graders in the district, I will be the only board member with current knowledge of the educational experience in the Huron City School District. As a parent of children in the district, I implore you to vote based on the candidates qualications rather than based on names, friendships, alliances, how long someone has been a resident of Huron, or who is related to whom. Voting based on anything other than a candidates qualications leads to cronyism and a lack of both transparency and accountability. The future success of the district relies on voters electing qualied board members that have the skills, fortitude, vision and foresight to move the district forward and whose judgment is not clouded by friendships, alliances, vendettas, and personal agendas. funding does not become available, then we will need to look at expenditures cuts. If expenditures cuts are necessary, we would need to make those cuts that have the least impact on the education that is provided to the districts children. I would rely to a great extent in making those decisions on expenditure cuts on the recommendations of the administration and teachers and their expertise in dealing with those issues. 2. How do you see education and the means of teaching our students changing in the future? How do you see education and the means of teaching our students changing in the future? What do the Huron schools need to do to stay competitive? I believe that the trend of more and more alternatives to the traditional public school education becoming available to students will continue in future years. Huron schools are in competition with private schools, other public schools through open enrollment, home schooling, online schools and other education alternatives to attract and keep students in the district. This competitive environment requires the Huron schools to market its strong points to potential students in the Eric Muelauser area. I believe a marketing plan needs 1.

1. As state funding to schools continues to be cut, what creative ideas do you have for keeping our schools aoat? School districts have a constant challenge to meet the needs of the students in light of the fact that state funding continues to be cut. Eight years ago, we created a reserve fund setting aside $1 million a year so that when expenditures inevitably exceed declining revenue, we could stretch out the funding cycle to delay the need for new money from the tax payers. As forecasted, that is exactly where we are currently. Our schools will stay aoat by eliminating waste and ensuring that quality services are being provided in the most economical ways. Under our new leadership we identied and implemented $652,000 in cost savings for the 2013/2014 school year. And, through a successful negotiation with the classied union membership we are saving $100,000 annually. We are committed to continued cost containment and will always work to manage expenditures. Additionally, we should continue to explore shared services with other school districts and other government entities. By pooling resources we will be able to contain costs and free up monies to be spent in other vital areas. 2. How do you see education and the means of teaching our students changing in the future? What do the Huron schools need to do to stay competitive? I see the means of teaching our students changing in many ways. We must always consider what our students need to be prepared for their next level whether for a vocational type career, or continued higher education. Our schools must stay on the cutting edge with technology. We must weigh the cost with the need and provide our students with adequate tools, and we must continue to

Myth:
The 3/2 majority chased away the biggest philanthropic donor in Huron history, Todd Nelson of Kalahari, who was ready to bring forward an additional $600,000 for refurbishment of the McCormick auditorium. (savehuronschools.com) Remember that in this time of money need our largest philanthropic donor, Todd Nelson, has been chased away. (Asher, Bulea, Muehlhauser Letter to the Editor, Huron Hometown News) All board members, including Mr. Asher, acknowledged Jim Campbell as the biggest philanthropic donor to Huron City Schools at a value exceeding $1.2 million.* Not one board member, including both Mr. Asher and Mr. Caporini, could confirm Mr. Nelson ever approached the board about donating an additional $600,000 to refurbish the McCormick auditorium. The McCormick project is being funded by a tax abatement given to Kalahari.* *( Source - audio recording of the October 15, 2013 board meeting) _____ This deficit includes revenue from the upcoming renewal levy. We will need to make immediate cuts and may have to be on the ballot for new money in Nov. 2014. (Asher, Bulea, Muehlhauser - Letter to the Editor, Huron Hometown News) We now have to go to the taxpayers and ask for new money by November 2014 (savehuronschools.com) If voters approve both renewal levies and district officials enact a few cuts, Huron Schools will possibly have enough reserve cash to end the 2015-16 school year without a deficit Weis said. (Sandusky Register, October 18, 2013, page A5) Budget forecast is positive and the district will not need to ask for NEW money before 2015, even if the renewal levy fails. (Source - audio recording of the October 15, 2013 board meeting) _____ The turmoil of the last 18 months has brought needless stress, hard feelings and a financial crisis to the Huron School District. Instead of concentrating on the demands of the School District, the Board Majority has pursued personal agendas, while letting the School Budget spiral out of control. (John Caporini Letter to the Editor, Huron Hometown News) Since the issue arose regarding the former superintendent, the board has implemented cost savings measures saving the district $652,000. Mr. Caporini and Mr. Asher objected to the largest single cut which was the elimination of a position which saves the district over $100,000 annually (Board Minutes, May 21, 2013 - Resolution 6509).

Rafaella Gioffre SBC's Golf Player of the Year

Rafaella Gioffre was just chosen the SBC women's golfer player of the year for 2013. This marks her fourth straight selection as a member of the SBC's rst team. She averaged 38.5 strokes per round. That is up from her freshman average of 43.3 strokes. An outstanding career, no matter how you look at it. She also led her well rounded team to a fourth place nish at the State nals in Columbus. Sophomore Kylie Greulich also made the SBC rst team with a 41.37 average. Juniors Allie Lenyo (46.75) and Ashtyn Stadler (47.5) qualied for second team honors. Freshman Rachel Stadler was SBC honorable mention. Note: The averages were based on all away scores and the best home course score.
