involves nearly 90 class hours over three weeks on 14 topics, a presentation on contemporary issues in law enforcement, a first line supervisor 360 evaluation, and capstone case studies. Since 2004, 193 Ohio law enforcement supervisors have graduated from STEP.

Fire Department Community Education Programs The Huron Fire Department’s public education programs educated 2,200 community members of all ages in 2010. Some of the programs included; CPR/First Aid, Fire Extinguisher Training, Safety Talks, Fire House Tours, Water Safety Day, Safety Town, Fire Prevention Week and our 1st annual Open House. For 2011, we have a lofty goal of more than doubling the number of CPR students we taught in 2011. American Heart Association statistics show that 92% of sudden cardiac arrest victims die before reaching the hospital. Other statistics show that if more people knew CPR, more lives

could be saved. We are reaching out to community groups and neighborhoods to contact us to schedule a CPR class. Our goal is to equip 500 community members with the knowledge to initiate care to another citizen experiencing cardiac arrest. By recognizing the emergency, calling 911, and initiating CPR, you may ultimately save a life. For more information about the Huron Fire Department education programs check out our website at www.cityofhuron. org or contact the firehouse at 419-4333544 to schedule a class.

Commenting on the value and importance of STEP, Chief John T. Majoy indicated, “The result of Sgt. Graham’s attendance at STEP will be evidenced in his enhanced management and leadership skills. Our agency and community will be the beneficiaries of Sgt. Graham’s accomplishment.”

Fifth grader wins Geography Bee The National Geographic Geography Bee was held at St. Peter School on Tuesday, January 11. Emerging as champion over 29 other participants was fifth grader Jake Bradfield. Seventh grader Jimmy Pajk took second place. When asked about his knowledge of geography, Jake shared that his grandpa liked geography and that had something to do with him liking it, too. Jake will next take the qualifying test to see if he is one of the top 100 scorers in the State of Ohio. That would make him eligible for the state competition to be held later this Spring.
