Huron City Schools Receive “Auditor of State” Award A recent financial audit of the Huron City School District by the Auditor of the State Dave Yost’s office has returned a clean audit report. Huron’s excellent record keeping has earned it the “Auditor of State Award”. This award is presented for exemplary financial reporting in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) for the year of 2010. “This is further evidence that the District is in compliance with all the state rules and regulations as the audit looks at the entire school operation,” stated Superintendent Fred Fox. “Receiving this award is confirmation that our school Treasurer, Mike Weis and his staff are

We are fortunate to have our business (Huron Market) located in the best community in the whole USA. The new resurfaced Cleveland Road will only add to our great community and we are for anything that improves Huron. There has been a cost beyond the 75 days of long delays, detours, and wear and tear on our automobiles. This is the cost to the merchants of Cleveland Road. Surviving in today’s economic and competitive arena is a challenge to say the least and more so for the locally owned and operated entrepreneurs. These are the people that invest their lively hood in their community believing if they work hard, stay focused, appreciate their customers they will succeed “The American Dream”. They are also the ones that hire locally and the first to support their community, neighbors and friends. This pretty much describes Huron Market along with many other local businesses. We are not the first nor will be the last to live through government projects many do not survive. It is tough to go through 75 days of construction in peak business months. Most Seasonal businesses depend on the summer business to get them through the winter months. We also

Several hundred anglers will cruise into town this Saturday, in search of the wily walleye that inhabit the waters offshore from Huron. FishHuronOhio is hosting the 3rd annual Walleye Challenge and the Huron Chamber of Commerce is sponsoring the 1st annual Huron River Craft Fest. “We have nearly two dozen of the leading artisans from around Ohio who will be offering their wares to the fishermen’s wives, as well as area residents this Saturday on a bluff above the boat basin,” said Chamber president Bruce Miller. Hand-painted gourds, many styles of custom-made jewelry, pottery and handmade OSU baubles are just a few of the unique items that will be available from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 8. Gourmet coffee, cider and doughnuts, along with perch sandwiches, barbecued ribs, hamburgers and hot dogs will be available throughout the day. This fast-growing fishing tourney draws 80 teams of four anglers each, from around the Midwest. It’s an awesome sight to see all these boats heading out into the lake as the sun is rising. And shoppers can go down along the river later in the afternoon and watch the weigh-in that will determine which fishermen will share the jackpot of more than $16,000. “See you at the Basin on Saturday.”

top notch.” The “Auditor of State Award” is evidence that the residents of Huron are well-served by the effective and accountable financial practices this District implements. The award is presented to local governments and school districts that file timely financial reports in accordance with GAAP as well as receive a “clean” audit report. The “clean” audit report means the financial audit did not contain any findings for recovery, material citations, material weaknesses, significant deficiencies, Single Audit findings or questioned costs. And finally the District’s

had to deal with the threat of our customers changing their shopping habits perhaps taking their business out of Huron to Sandusky. Not a day went by without Don and myself wanting to grab a shovel and go out and help with the project . A small business is a lot like a family (in many ways it is a family) when change comes you tighten your belt hold on a little tighter appreciate your customers and friends a little more. Every penny counts and you find yourself turning lights out and working a little harder. Don was the first to cross the new bridge I never knew he could do the Irish Jig he did not either. With the bridge open and the road finished soon I am looking forward to welcoming many of our customers back and a special thanks to our customers that endured the recent construction. Huron is a special place in a crazy world (Just go to a Tiger Football Game on a Friday Night .) Don and I and the whole staff at Huron Market are proud to be part of it. Bob & Don Huron Market
