Old Woman Creek is much more than a small creek that you cross when driving on Route 2 or a wetland that you see as you drive east on Cleveland Road. Old Woman Creek, which en-compasses 573-acres of wetlands, forests, prairies, and beaches, has been protected as part of the Na-tional Estuarine Research Reserve (NERR) system since 1980. The NERR program, which promotes stewardship of estuaries through research and education, is jointly funded by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the state in which the estuary is located. Technically, an estuary is an area where salt water and
freshwater meet. Yet, the water in the Old Woman Creek wetland is distinctly differ-ent from the water of Lake Erie into which it emp-ties most of the year. Hence, Old Woman Creek was recognized as a unique system and became the first freshwater estuary in the NERR sys-tem.
Old Woman Creek is dynamic in that it is not only a beautiful natural area to visit, but it also is the site of many on-going and interesting research projects. The four full-time and five part-time employees include a resident researcher and an edu-cation specialist. Yet, at any given time, there are roughly 15 re-search projects underway that are directed by university professors from around the country. The primary areas of research include non-point source pollution, habi-tat loss, aquatic invasive species, and climate variability. Currently, a graduate student from the Uni-versity of Pittsburgh’s School of Engineering is researching mi-
crobial fuel cells at Old Woman Creek.
Though Old Woman Creek is a renowned research site, Frank Lopez, manager of Old Woman Creek, is amazed that more people in Huron and the sur-rounding area don’t know that there is a “world-class science facility and a very unique natu-ral resource in their backyards.” He is trying to change that by of-fering better visitor services. This year, a major overhaul of the visi-tor’s center, located at 2514 Cleve-land Road, E, was completed. The visitor’s center had remained un-changed since 1985. Though the information presented was still relevant, the means in which it was displayed no longer was. The renovations were funded solely by grants, and the con-tent for the new dis-plays was jointly de-veloped by many local agencies and WGTE Toledo. The displays now include interac-tive games, maps, and displays, as well as live animals and life-like mounts. The hiking trails around the visi-tor’s center have also been improved cour-tesy of some Eagle
Scouts and now cover roughly 2.5 miles. The newly renovated visi-tor’s center will be showcased at an Open House on Saturday, No-vember 5 from 10 AM until 4 PM. The Open House will include guided walks every hour, tutorials for the new displays, and refresh-ments that will be provided by the Friends of Old Woman Creek. Come see for yourself what a trea-sure Old Woman Creek truly is.

Brighten up Your Winter GardenMary Strayer, MaSter Gardener
The frosty nights are now upon us, and it gives us gardeners a chance to go outside when the daytime temperatures warm a bit, and notice if there is really color lacking in our winter gardens. Write down areas now that need color and plan for planting next spring.
Think about the combination of Ohio bamboo accompanying Heuchera ‘Amber Waves’ and Sedum ‘Angelina”. Then add a pretty pink and yellow pansy, and you have a color combination that can’t be beat. The Heuchera is valued for its amber-colored foliage and
rose undersides, thus being the gel that holds this arrangement together. Have you ever thought of putting the vibrant colors of ‘sweet flag’ with Spurge. Then add a few blue to purple pansies nearby, and the look is out of this world. I’ve used this idea with Euphor-bia and Greek oregano.
Consider preparing a pot in the summer next year to give your patio color in the fall. Plant autun fern with its copper colored fonds, to compliment the organge pink leaves of coral bells and you have a combination that can’t be beat. I put a small tuft of zebra grass in the back of the pot to give height and movement in the winter. The grass also gives a wonderful swishing sound in the winter winds.
Believe it or not golden creeping jenny with its spreading habit looks great in the fall when planted in a winter proof elongated pot with pansies. It will fade during the winter, but will return next season with another rush of color. Just don’t let it vine enough to touch the ground, and start a new colony where you don’t want one.
Are you aware of the Autumn Fern? It’s fairly new in our area, hardy in zone 5, and is evergreen if protected from drying winds. But remember to keep it watered or it does die back. It has wonderful coppery foliage which changes to green as the fern fond matures. Enjoy!
Perhaps instead of a ‘regular’ Alberta spruce, why not add evergreen conifers and shrubs that offer variegation or golden hues? Hardy trees and small shrubs offer much in variety and color for these cold winter months. Variegated English Boxwood and Hinoki cypress offer a different look in the gardens in the winter. Spreading winter-green provides a reddish hue. Another way to add color and texture is to plant a small conifer in a large pot, and put pretty rocks of various colors near it. Be sure your container is durable and can withstand the freeze thaw cycle. Place you container out of heavy winds, yet visable to your windows, and you can enjoy it all winter.
Lastly remember to plant red-twig and yellow-twig dogwoods near or in view of the house to enjoy their colorful stems during the cold months. These twigs are also great in floral designs for the holidays as well. Happy Gardening.

The Kent State University Women’s Chorus and the KSU Men’s Chorus will appear in concert at 7:00 pm on Mon-day, November 7 in the sanctuary of Huron First Presby-terian Church on Williams Street. The 50-voice Women’s Chorus, and the 30-voice Men’s Chorus, both conducted by Kerry Glann, have made several visits to the area in recent years, and the concert will be one of the stops on a four-day fall tour. The 2-part program will include secu-lar and sacred music of various styles performed by each chorus, and will conclude with selections performed by the joint choruses. Both the Choruses are comprised of
music and non-music majors from Ohio and surround-ing states, and have been recognized for excellence by se-lection to perform at several professional music confer-ences and in joint concert with other collegiate choruses.
A graduate of Huron High School, Bowling Green State University, and Kent State University, Mr. Glann, an asso-ciate professor of music at KSU, is a member of the Uni-versity’s Hugh A. Glauser School of Music faculty, serves as Choirmaster for Kent United Church of Christ, and is a Senior staff member of The Huron Playhouse, serving as Senior Musical Director/Conductor.
There is no admission charge for the concert in Huron, but a free-will offering will be taken to assist with the choirs’ travel expenses. A ‘cookies and punch’ reception for the choirs and audience will be held in Fellowship Hall immediately following the concert. The concert and re-ception are open to the public.

The eighth grade students at McCormick Junior High have another choice in courses offered to them this year. The Sci-ence Engineering & Technology course taught by Mr. Brian Kucbel is a hands-on science class that explores the technology of today. New to the grade level, students have begun learn-ing through studying a specific technology and experiencing it first-hand through laboratory activities that demonstrate how that technology affects our everyday life.
Science Engineering & Technology was a course started ap-proximately seven years ago by now Huron High School Sci-ence teacher, Mr. Roger Blevins. As times have changed, so has technology. McCormick Junior High teacher, Kucbel, has revamped the curriculum with new materials and updated the course syllabus with technology current with today.
The new syllabus includes sections on: design & engineering, structural engineering, air & space technologies, electricity & electronics, energy & power technologies, robotics and foren-sics. Each unit consists of an overview of the technology and 2-3 hands-on laboratory activities relating to the science. Kuc-bel promotes competitions in class on the laboratory activities to motivate the students and encourage them to get involved
with the assignments.“This is a really fun class to teach. The students who have
signed up for it, have an interest in science and really seem to be enjoying it,” stated Kucbel.
Some of the laboratory activities this semester will include, building a wind turbine and studying how it generates power, designing photocell cars and discovering how their design af-fects their speed, designing and building airfoils and learning about lift and movement.
Kucbel is very pleased with the support he has received in regards to this “hands-on” form of learning science from Mc-Cormick principal, Mr. Chad Carter, Superintendent Fred Fox and the Huron Board of Education
In addition to Science Engineering & Technology, Kucbel also teaches 8th grade science and coaches High School Cross Country. This is his 4th year at McCormick Junior High fol-lowing a brief career teaching Math at a Charter School in Glenville just outside of downtown Cleveland.
Outside of the school life, Kucbel is busy at home raising a 7 month old son.
Technology of Today Studied By McCormick Junior High Students
Wyatt Myers, Dean Dickirson, Nathan Reinbolt and Mr. Kucbel discuss the de-sign and direction of the wind turbine built by the students.
The third grade students of Woodlands Intermediate School presented the musi-cal “Go Fish” last week to their friends and family under the direction of Woodland’s music teacher, Mrs. Victoria Meadows. The musical’s positive message “to accept others for who they are” was very appro-priate for the students to share. The setting took place in the ocean with the lead char-acter, a Tiger Shark, wanting to be friends with all the different ocean creatures. The Tiger Shark, played by Jake Koba, enter-tained the crowd with his dramatic sense of acting and unique collection of sea friends. Other members of the “Card Sharks” cast included: Blue Shark (Cole Parker), Mako Shark (Aiden Kastor) and Hammerhead Shark (Drew Planthaber).
The Zebra Fish (Blair Petee), Octopus (Andrew Bott), Blow Fish (Danny Cur-rence), Tuna Fish (Libby Francis), Star Fish (Maisey Frederick), Needle Fish (Mckena Muratori), Angel Fish (Abby Wennberg), an electric eel (Clair Farrell, Tristan Plas, Mallory Nelson, Breanna Culler-Gautschi, Jacob Lawton, Makenna Pender and Ben Wainwright) and a small school of Clown Fish (Michael Lewallen, Andrew Hardy, Rachael Gunselman, Ayden Swinehart, and Izzy Majoy) were Tiger Shark’s friends who all had their own set of quirks. Together
they worked through their quirks and sup-ported each other creating an ocean full of unique opportunities.
Through creative songs and fantastic act-ing the cast portrayed the importance of accepting others. Other members of the musical included: the crabs (Kadyn Yates, Gabby Kopke, Luke Leimeister, Patrick Kaip, Makenzie Wilson, Alyssa Black, Layne Gimperling, Aliyah Caporini, Meadow Bess, Andrew Steinhour, Jayden LaCrosse, Olivea Gonzales, Cecilia Pinkerton, Olivia Arambula, Faith Diffenbacher, Nick Fee-ney, Sydney Gadd, Lacey Church) a Square dance caller (Mason Luipold), eight square dancers (Claire Solberg, Andrew Scherley, Kylie Masterson, Daniel Spurrier, Kennedy Crow, Devon Spurrier, Bailey Easton, Sal-vador Zamarripa), Red Snappers (Luke Lagando, Madi Reott, Makenna Schafer, Jennifer Cobleigh, Kyli Smercina), three sword fish (Scott Klaiber, Madison Boasko, Alyssa Zeigler), a Great White (Slade Mill-er). Many thanks to the stage crew (Zach Weyer, Tyler Adams and Ian Welborn) for their efforts in pulling off the production. The balance of the third grade class partici-pated as the chorus and supported the ac-tors in singing several songs that enhanced the theme.
The third grade class at Woodlands Intermediate performed the musical “Go Fish” last week to their family and friends.

Last Friday evening, the Huron Tigers completed the 2011 regular season with a 24-14 victory over the Edison Chargers in Milan. The win helped the visitors to a 9-1 record and spot in the Division IV State playoffs next week against Genoa Area, who also finished 9-1. The Tigers also finished second in the SBC behind only Clyde. Edi-son opened the game fired up and provided the only score in the first period. But Huron finally settled down before halftime with a pair of touchdowns by running back Troy DeLamatre. QB Kyle Pisano again did a lit-tle bit of everything well rushing for a Tiger team high 81 yards with a score while also throwing for 169 yards and another touch-down.

Political
Bill Needham
1) Why are you seeking a posi-tion on the Huron City School Board of Education?
I earned my Education degree with an emphasis in History and Government from Ohio University; I taught Govern-ment for most of my 29 years in the classroom; and I have been approached several times about running for public of-fice. I have had a long interest in local politics and developed a class (we called it Citizenship), under the guidance of Princi-pal Lynn Studer, teaching local governments to our students to help prepare them for the Ohio graduation test. I now have the time to devote my full attention to this position. I want to con-tinue to have an influence on students in our school district!
2) What do you feel is the major role of a school board member?
A board member’s major role is to be a leader in the school and the community! By estab-lishing the policies that oper-ate the school district, and be-ing an advocate for education, the individual board member can step up and be a leader.
3) Where do you stand on Senate Bill 5 (Issue 2)?
I am opposed to Senate Bill 5. I believe that the best solu-tions for local problems are the ones developed at the local level! Negotiations are a coop-erate effort and should remain part of the local labor scene.
4) All of you are involved in some activity within the school district, how do you remain im-partial and when do you feel you must abstain from voting?
I am not currently involved in any activity within the school district. I am and always have been an advocate for the de-velopment of the entire stu-dent and that includes the arts as well as the core subjects. As Athletic Director, I treated every sport and activity equally! I will be impartial and vote accord-ing to what I think will be best for the Huron City School Dis-trict. I do not believe that I will have any conflict issues such as family or business that would necessitate an “abstain” vote.
5) Currently, the Huron School District is excelling on all fronts – academics, financial, building upgrades and harmony on the workforce – what do you attri-bute this success to?
The Huron City Schools are excellent because of the parents, the students, and the staff of this school district. Through-out my 33 years of involvement in the Huron Schools, parents have placed an emphasis on education for their children and prepared them for the school experience. Parents also have traditionally been strong sup-porters of the District through the approval of levies and volun-teering their time. Secondly, our students have taken that paren-tal emphasis and turned it into their own desire to learn and ad-vance themselves! The students quickly learn the value of their education and act accordingly. Finally, the Huron Schools are excellent because of the teach-ers and staff members who work here to make Huron a great place to grow up and be educated. We need to develop a team approach to the education of our students. Every teacher and staff member is important and has something to contribute to the education of every student.
Nancy Buleau 1) Why are you seeking a posi-
tion on the Huron City Schools Board of Education?
I am seeking re-election to Huron’s Board of Education to “CONTINUE THE PROGRESS” that our schools are achieving. It is very important that we do not lose the momentum we have gained. Our goal is to be the Best! Huron Schools have earned an academic rating of excellent or excellent with distinction for the past three years on the Ohio State Board of Education’s report card. The Performance Index of 103.4, which measures the aca-demic achievement of every stu-dent, is the highest rating of any school system in our surround-ing area and we have achieved thisdistinction for three straight years. Our students are experi-encing a system with dedicated teachers and a caring staff in a secure learning environment. Our system has reached this ac-complishment while maintain-ing a fiscally sound budget and stretching the taxpayer’s dollars. As a Board Member my goal is to continue to support and im-prove upon this success.
2) What do you feel is the major role of a school board member?
The role of a Board of Edu-cation member covers a wide range of important issues which includes:providing a safe and productive learning environ-ment for students, setting dis-trict policy, establishing edu-cational goals, instituting long range plans, adopting a com-prehensive educational budget, and ensuring a two way process of communication between the school system and its citizens. Additionally, it is the respon-sibility of the Board of Educa-tion to employ a Superintendent and Treasurer and hold them accountable for managing the schools.
3) Where do you stand on Sen-ate Bill 5 (Issue 2).
The passage or failure of Is-sue 2, or Senate Bill 5, addresses so much more than the cam-paign talking points bombard-ing voters throughout Ohio from proponents on either side of this referendum. Both sides have simplified the issue to one which pits the right to collective bargain against increasing the amounts public workers pay for their retirement and healthcare. In reality, there are many more dramatic changes addressed in the 304 page bill. I am currently still making my own evaluation and have not determined which way my vote will go on Novem-ber 8th. I hope each voter will evaluate individually all the ef-fects of SB5 and make an in-formed decision on which direc-tion they feel would be best for Ohio.
4) All of you are involved in some activity within the school district, how do you remain im-partial and when do you feel you must abstain from voting?
Being involved in many ac-tivities throughout the Huron School district may create some issues as far as voting, however, I believe involvement of elected officials is a key element to suc-cessful public service. To remain impartial, I always remember the duty I owe to those who elected me, which is to represent the Huron residents and make the best and most informed deci-sions that I believe will benefit the school district as a whole. When voting, as a general rule, I would abstain when there is a conflict of interest. Conflicts may arise from several situations including a business arrange-ment, a family circumstance, or
financial condition that might indirectly affect myself or a close family member. If these conflicts arise, I would make a point to clearly express them to my col-leagues and the community and be transparent about the reason I am abstaining.
5) Currently, the Huron School District is exceling on all fronts – academics, financial, building upgrades and harmony in the workforce – what do you attri-bute this success to?
I would attribute the success of the Huron Schools to strong community support, dedicated personnel and high achieving students. The Huron Commu-nity expects and demands an educational system that provides high standards of learning for their children. The support we receive from the community through tax levies, individual volunteers in the school build-ings and attendance at a large variety of school events is in-comparable. Many citizens par-ticipated in the development of the city wide Strategic Plan. Our current Superintendent, ad-ministrators and teachers then adopted the Effective Schools Model which incorporated many of the objectives set forth by the Strategic Plan. Through this Ef-fective Schools Model, Huron Schools strive to continually im-prove the learning environment for our students.
Tim Soweke
1) Why are you seeking a po-sition on the Huron City School Board of Education?
I think it is important to give back to the community. My wife, Julie, and I have owned Hu-ron Ace Hardware for the past 10+ years and we were both born and raised in Huron. I feel the budget hardships in Washington and Columbus will eventually cause problems for the Huron Local School District and it will require creativity, hard work and teamwork to keep the Huron Schools strong. These are what I can provide as a member of the Board of Education.
2) What do you feel is the ma-jor role of a school board mem-ber?
To serve as the eyes, ears and voice of the citizens and the students of Huron. As a board member I will try to encourage my fellow board members to challenge the administration to get better every day. I will ask tough questions and demand good answers that will benefit the students. I feel the board of education should be more pro-active in establishing the goals of the district and making sure the administration demands the staff and students get better ev-ery day.
3) Where do you stand on Sen-ate Bill 5 (Issue 2)?
Columbus has failed repeat-edly to solve the school funding problems in Ohio, and now they want to tell us how to handle negotiations with our teachers and non-teaching staff at the lo-cal level. I feel Columbus should stay out of the relationship be-tween the Board of Education and the employees of the Huron City Schools. I will be voting “NO” on Issue 2, and look for-ward to working closely with the employees of the school district to improve education in Huron.
4.) All of you are involved in some activity within the school district, how do you remain im-partial and when do you feel you must abstain from voting?
A board member must abstain
from voting on any issue that could have a direct financial impact on the individual board member. For example, I’m a var-sity football coach and I will vote on issues pertaining to athletics, but if the question of pay for as-sistant coaches comes up I would participate in the discussion, but abstain from actually voting. If the school system wanted to pur-chase hammers and nails, since I own a hardware store, I would want to know why the system needs hammers and nails and want to explore all other alterna-tives, but I would abstain from voting on where the system de-cides to buy the materials.
5) Currently the Huron School District is excelling on all fronts- academics, financial, building upgrades and harmony in the workforce- to what do you attri-bute this success?
This really isn’t a question. It’s statement of opinion and then a request for me to explain why this opinion is a good thing. As a person with 25+ years expe-rience as newspaper reporter, manager and publisher I must take the Hometown News to task for phrasing #5 the way they have!
I happen to feel the Huron Schools need to get better on all fronts- academics, financial, building upgrades and especially harmony in the workforce. The administration and the current Board of Education have got-ten too “cozy” over the past few years and have stopped demand-ing daily improvement. There is too much patting each other on the back! The board can do bet-ter and the administration can do better, but it won’t happen with the same people getting re-elected!
John Caporini
1) Why are you seeking a posi-tion on the Huron City Schools Board of Education?
As a liflelong Huron resident, I have always felt that the life blood of our community has always been the educational system. To provide the best educational op-portunities for our youth is ex-tremely important in building a solid community. It ties together all segments of the Huron Com-munity: the business sector, the real estate and housing area, youth development, and senior citizen involvement, to name just a few, An attractive school system also draws new families and businesses which want to be a part of a strong and healthy community. This, in turn, keeps public services, such as the fire department, emergency services, roads and infrastructure in top-notch shape with a viable finan-cial network.
It has always been an honor and privilege to serve the Huron Community as a school board member. To impact our commu-nity by building public support and understanding of public education, while working hard to be a link between the schools and the public in expecting qual-ity learning, has been one of my prime goals.
2) What do you feel is the major role of a school board member?
A school board member wears many different hats. However, he or she must realize that they are part of a five person team that must work together with the fi-nancial resources available.
Toward this goal, school board members must establish policy and set educational goals for the system, while adhering to state laws and emphasizing commu-nity values. To implement the above, school board members must employ a superintendent and treasurer and hold them re-sponsible for the management of the schools in accordance with
the school board policies.
3 Where do you stand on Sen-ate Bill 5 (Issue 2)
I believe in the democratic pro-cess and Senate Bill 5 will be de-cided by the people. I also believe that the collective bargaining process should be an entitlement for both employee and employer, and is for the most part an effec-tive method.
From a school standpoint, I feel there is an underlying issue. What the legislators have conve-niently forgotten is the school funding issue. In the 1990’s, and several times since, the Supreme Court has declared the current method of school funding un-constitutional. These career pol-iticians have avoided addressing this.
Instead, in Senate Bill 5 we are presented with a 304 page document, which leaves many questions and Ohioans divided. Ohioans need to hold their rep-resentatives accountable for a school formula or plan, as their first course of action. These poli-ticians need to spend their time on fixing what has been mandat-ed by the Ohio Supreme Court – school funding.
4) All of you are involved in some activity within the school district, how do you remain im-partial and when do you feel you must abstain from voting?
At a certain point in every en-counter in the district, I always remember that as an individual board member I have no author-ity to speak or act for the Board. I always encourage ongoing com-munication among administra-tors, board members, students, staff and the community. I fo-cus on trying to move concerns through our administrative staff in a progression, while keeping our superintendent informed with appropriate feedback.
During school activities I work with the fellow board members to support and, if needed, estab-lish effective policies. My deci-sions are based on available facts. I always try to be informed and employ business-like judgment rather than be influenced by any specific individual or group. I abstain from voting on issues which are a conflict of interest or give the appearance of, while listening always to the advice of our legal counsel.
5) Currently, the Huron School District is excelling on all fronts – academics, financial, building upgrades and harmony on the workforce – what do you attri-bute this success to?
To excel on all fronts requires a coordinated effort from all com-ponents of the school system. All parts in the Huron system real-ize that their first and greatest concern is the educational wel-fare of all children attending our schools, while operating under the laws of Ohio and the United States.
Our board focuses on the over-all goals of the district, while staying informed with educa-tional issues and participating in in-service programs. Our Board is well acquainted with school policies and realizes that we are educational professionals and our role is not the day-to-day operations of the district. Rather, our primary concern is that the system is managed well by the professionals.
To have excellent results, a dis-trict needs administrators with vision and a constant attitude for improvement. Our Superin-tendent, Fred Fox and Treasurer, Mike Weis, bring an enthusiasm and desire to the district to be the best. They realize the contin-ual support of the community is vital and put all their efforts to-ward our best educational pack-age with our available dollars, while, at the same time, moving our staffs to seek continued im-provement and to never be satis-fied with the status quo.
Good Luck to all the
Candidates!

The community was invited to Admiral’s Pointe Annual Trick or Treat on Thurs-day, October 27th. Halloween delights the imagination, not to mention the sweet tooth, of the grown ups as well as the kids. The halls were lined with residents who
look forward to this event every year. For one night it is fun to be a kid again; the residents were dressed in costume as they handed out tons of candy. There were over 580 people that enjoyed the many activities that were around every corner;
Trick or Treating, cake walk, refreshments, games for the little ones. Those who were brave enough entered the Haunted Black Widow’s Den. There was truly some-thing for everyone. Amy Donaldson, the Administrator at Admiral’s Pointe stated, “We want to take this time to thank the Huron Police for being here to hand out candy & to assist wherever they were need-
ed. “Also a huge thank you to the Huron High School Honor Society students who helped with this event.” Lisa Hudson, Activity Director stated, “We are already looking forward to next year and plan to add more kid friendly events. The goal of Admiral’s Pointe is to provide a safe and fun Trick or Treat for the community every year.
