On Friday, January 6th the students of Huron City Schools had special presentations brought to them by the Huron Historical Society and Advanced Explosives Demolition (AED) in honor of the demolition of the ConAgra facility. The presentations at McCormick Junior High, Woodlands Intermediate and Shawnee Elementary School were all grade-level appropriate and tailor-made for the specific student bodies.

Mrs. Judy Ryan and Mrs. Kathy Muehlhauser-Moore from the Huron Historical Society gave a brief history of the property to the students before introducing Eliyah Kelly. Eliyah, 7, described to the students her role in the AED family business. Eliyah entertained several questions from the audience.

When asked by a Shawnee student what they were going to build at the site. She responded, “We are just here for a blast! I don’t know what they are going to turn it into. It’s kind of like a birthday present….it’s a surprise!”

The Shawnee and Woodlands students had the special opportunity to meet the boy behind the button – Max Hinton. Max, 8, is being treated for neuroblastoma, a childhood cancer that forms in the nerve tissue.

Max travelled to Huron, Ohio from California specifically to blow up the ConAgra facility. The Make-A-Wish Foundation fulfilled his dreams and made this possible.

On Sunday afternoon many students and residents took to the riverside to anxiously watch “history” in the making. After a brief daytime fireworks display put on by the City of Huron marking the historical moment, Max, Eliyah Kelly, 7, daughter of Lisa and Eric Kelly of AED, introduces Eliyah and her family with the push of a button successfully brought the Max Hinton, 8, the famous ConAgra button-pusher, to the Shawnee building down. The ConAgra facility was history and a new chapter for the Elementary School students on Friday, January 6th, 2011. community has begun.

Huron City Schools Ranked No. 1 in County The Huron City Schools is pleased to announce their Performance Index Score has them ranked in the top 13 percent for the state of Ohio and ranked number one in Erie County.

As noted in the graphs provided, Huron’s Performance Index Score totaled 125, with 1 being the best. The average score for Erie County is 356 and the average for the Sandusky Bay Conference Schools is 292.

“Our goal is to be in the top 10% of the state,” stated Superintendent Fred Fox. “We are continually looking at new ideas to help

the students and improve our scores.”

New in 2012, The Ohio Department of Education will be launching a new approach for comparing academic performance among school districts and schools across the state of Ohio. The new scoring system, mandated by House Bill 153 takes effect September 2012, and will allow educators to compare their performance with their peers.

Per the Ohio Department of Education website, the performance index rewards the achievement of every student, not just those who score proficient or higher. Students were

tested and earned points based on how well they did in all subjects in grades 3-8 on Ohio’s Achievement Assessments and on the 10th grade Ohio Graduation Test.

The Ohio Achievement Assessments have five performance levels. The levels include: advanced, accelerated, proficient, basic and limited. The percentage of students scoring at each level is calculated and then multiplied by the point value. From there it is assigned to that performance level. The points earned for each performance level are totaled to determine each school’s Performance Index Score.

FROM THE BENCH No Parking Signs

By Judge Bill Steuk, Huron Municipal Court Did you ever see a “No Parking” sign on private property?

There is an Ohio statute which applies to this situation. As Ohio Revised Code Section 4511.681 puts it,… if an owner of private property posts on the property, in a conspicuous manner, a prohibition against parking on the property or conditions and regulations under which parking is permitted, no person shall do either of the following: Park a vehicle on the property without the owner’s consent; Park a vehicle on the property in violation any condition or regulation posted by the owner.

A violation of this section is considered a minor misdemeanor which could mean a fine of up to One Hundred Fifty Dollars ($150.00). In addition to this penalty, violators could also face a towing charge if the property owner had the vehicle towed.

Girls’ Night Out Event Named Finalist in Cleveland Business Connects Connectors Choice Awards PUBLIC VOTE TO DECIDE IF LOCAL CHARITY EVENT IS BEST NON PROFIT FUNDRAISER OF 2011 Girls’ Night Out, a charity event to raise funds for Cancer Services of Erie County, the Fisher-Titus Mammography Fund, the Firelands Regional Medical Center Cancer Program Fund and North Coast Cancer Foundation, has been named as one of the finalists in Cleveland Business Connects (CBC) Connectors Choice Awards in the Best Non Profit Fundraiser category.

Public voting will determine the winner. To vote, log on to http://www.cbcmagazine.com/cca2012/vote before Feb. 10, 2012. (Individuals may vote only once from the same computer/email address. Complete rules are available on the site.)

“We are very excited to be a finalist for this honor and we ask that the community please go vote for this local worthwhile event which helps four local cancer programs,” said Doug Studer, co-founder of Girls’ Night Out. The Connectors Choice Awards, covering 17 categories, recognizes professionals in the corporate events and networking industries in Northeast Ohio. CBC received hundreds of nominations from its readers, subscribers, advertisers, and vendors, and our judges narrowed that

list down to the finalists in each category.

“Girls’ Night Out” (GNO) is a ladies-only evening of fun, friends and fund raising with the main focus of raising money for local cancer charities. In 2011, a record 1,200 women attended the event.

“Our 2011 event was the most noteworthy yet because each year we have accrued more sponsors and added more activities, amenities and reasons for ladies to attend and contribute,” Studer said. “This sold-out event at Kalahari Resort Convention Center in Sandusky raised $53,000.”

Co-founders Doug and Gretchen Studer envisioned this large-scale event in 2005. But, little did the founders or the GNO committee know how it would flourish. In its seventh year, it has expanded into a regional event that has raised $238,000 for Cancer Services of Erie County, Fisher-Titus Mammography Fund, Firelands Regional Medical Center Cancer Program Fund and North Coast Cancer Foundation.

Hardy Kiwi for Ohio

Mary Strayer, Master Gardener, Author Hardy Kiwi, Acinidia arguta and Acinidia kolomikta are native to southwestern China and are perennial plants are dioecious, which means that male and female flowers are borne on separate plants, so both vines must be grown to ensure pollination.

This special kiwi is cold hardy and can survive temperatures to -25 degrees F. The fruit size is considerably smaller than their larger cousins which we see in our local supermarkets.

They average the size of your thumb joint, knuckle to tip.

The vines bloom in early spring, and if we have a really late frost, lay in the first week of May, it will not produce that year. The flowers are just larger than a pea and white in color with intricate markings. The fruit is greenish yellow until it begins to ripen. At that point it turns a wonderful deeper maroon, and when you can give the fruit the slightest squeeze, it is ready to harvest.

In my garden, the vine is 7 years old, and it has bloomed the last 5 years. Last year the vine was covered with fruit, and we picked more than two pecks of fruit. We picked all the fruit at the same time, and sat it on the kitchen counter to finish ripening. We checked every day, and ate or gave away the ones which were Huron Hometown News® SM TM 1992 ready.

Baby Shower for Heartbeat As part of Catholic Schools Week, our Family Groups will be having a baby shower with all gifts being given to Heartbeat.

Heartbeat is an organization that assists women who are in need of monetary help during and after pregnancy. It is fitting that as a catholic School we demonstrate our support for these women who “choose life”.

Students will be encouraged to use money from their savings or allowance to purchase a gift for a baby. Please feel free to

donate to our Baby Shower by dropping off wrapped baby gifts to the school by Wednesday, February 1. Some of the needed items are: receiving and crib blankets, newborn to nine month sleepers, gowns, onesies, sweater sets, and socks, hooded towels and washcloths, diapers, baby wash, shampoo, powder, lotion, sippy cups, baby spoons, crib sheets, diaper bags, etc.

Thank you in advance for assisting us to show respect for all life.
