BY LISA YAKOThe trees groaned with the force of

the wind as my husband and I be-gan our journey on the trails at Old Woman Creek National Estuarine Reserve in Huron. The fi rst signs of spring were apparent along the trail, with the small splashes of green that had emerged from below last year’s fallen leaves and the birds that fl itted about in anticipation. The air was brisk, but the hope that comes with the change of seasons was upon us. As we walked along the paved trail, we stopped often to identify birds. In our brief walk, we encountered the following species: bald eagle, red-tailed hawk, turkey vulture, black-capped chickadee, tufted titmouse, Canada goose, blue jay, red-winged blackbird, downy woodpecker, red-bellied woodpecker, American crow, great blue heron, and eastern phoe-be. We were also delighted to view a muskrat meandering along while we stood at the observation deck.

Huron and the surrounding com-munities boast many natural areas, but my favorite place to escape has always been Old Woman Creek. Old Woman Creek is unique in that it was the fi rst Great Lakes freshwater estuary in the National Estuarine Re-search Reserve System. Designated in 1980, Old Woman Creek, which en-compasses 571 acres, is managed as a cooperative partnership between the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the Ohio Department of Natural Re-sources, Division of Wildlife. Inter-estingly, Old Woman Creek was the only freshwater estuarine reserve in the NOAA system until 2010 when the Lake Superior National Estua-rine Research Reserve in Wisconsin was welcomed into the reserve sys-tem. Having these two freshwater

systems in the estuarine reserve sys-tem is exceptional in that an estuary is defi ned as a place where freshwa-

ter and saltwater meets. These two freshwater reserves qualify as estu-aries because there are distinctive characteristics (e.g. chemistry) of the water in the wetland versus the lake into which it empties.

Old Woman Creek Reserve has wel-comed researches from all fi fty states. According to NOAA, “the purpose of the Old Woman Creek research pro-gram has been to identify the various components and processes within this freshwater estuary and to deter-mine the role of this and other es-tuarine areas within the Great Lakes ecosystem. The program is also de-veloping a database that can be used to evaluate the subtle, long-range changes in the Lake Erie system.” The research at Old Woman Creek is critical to our understanding of the role of wetlands in ecosystem pro-cesses, particularly because Ohio has drained nearly 90% of its wetlands.

I encourage everyone to take ad-vantage of this natural jewel that we have right here in Huron. Through-out the summer and fall, Old Wom-an Creek offers various programs that give you the opportunity to explore the estuary and learn some-thing about it. There are also guided canoe trips that allow you to explore the wetland itself. More informa-tion can be found at the Old Woman Creek web site.

THE SHOW WILL GO ON! The Huron Playhouse, Ohio’s oldest continuously running summer

theatre, is planning for the future. For 62 years, the Playhouse has operated in Huron under the guid-ance of the Theatre Department of Bowling Green State University. However, for its 63rd consecutive season The Huron Playhouse is now an independent non-profi t corporation operating under a lo-cal Board of Directors and man-agement.

In August of 2010, The Huron Playhouse fi led the Initial Articles of Incorporation with the State of Ohio and recently received ap-proval from the IRS to act as a charitable 501(c)(3) non-profi t organization. These actions enable the Playhouse to assemble the 2011 summer season and to accept tax-exempt donations from individual and business supporters.

The Playhouse also established its Board of Directors with the appointment of Mark Koch as

President, John O. Bacon as Vice President and Treasurer, Sue Cloak as Secretary and Jackie Mayer and Rob Smith as at-large Direc-tors. The Board then selected Jann Graham Glann to continue as the Artistic and Managing Director and Frank W. Glann as Associate Director. The Board and staff are currently working on the fi nal ar-rangements for the 2011 season and in the near future will be an-nouncing ticket prices and the spe-cifi c shows and schedule.

For additional information or to make a donation, please contact any Board member or Jann Gra-ham Glann at: The Huron Play-house, Inc., P.O. Box 487, Huron, OH 44839, 419 433-3503, [email protected]

BY LISA YAKOOn March 1, 1961, President John F. Kennedy

signed an executive order that offi cially estab-lished the Peace Corps. President Kennedy’s vision for this new agency was “to send out volunteers to serve their country and the cause of peace by living and working in the develop-ing world.” Over the past 50 years, more than 200,000 Americans have joined the ranks of the Peace Corps and have served in over 139 coun-tries. The primary areas of service in these for-eign lands include education, health and HIV/AIDS, business development, environment, ag-riculture, and youth development.

After completing his undergraduate degree in environmental policy at Bowling Green State University and working for a few years, Huron resident, Adam Carruthers, decided to join the Peace Corps. Early in 2008, Adam completed his paperwork for the Peace Corps on which he stated that he was willing to travel any-where and help with any project except teach-ing English. By September 2008, Adam was in Nicaragua. He spent three months in a training program where he learned Spanish and was in-troduced to the agricultural methods employed in Nicaragua. Helping with agriculture was to be Adam’s primary mission, but he found him-self being required to do more than he thought was possible.

At the end of the three month training period, Adam was sent to La Sabaneta, a rural village of 800 residents where he was the only English-speaking person. For his fi rst four months in the village, Adam lived with a host family in their cinderblock house with a dirt fl oor. After that time, Adam lived in his own house which was constructed of brick and which had a con-crete fl oor. Adam’s fi rst goal was to build the

trust of the villagers because building relation-ships was crucial to the success of his work in La Sabaneta. During his time there, Adam helped

to strengthen and establish community banks, improved ovens for baking purposes, created family gardens, and worked with local women to increase the profi ts from the sale of their handmade wares. Most importantly, Adam be-came involved in the lives of many of the vil-lagers.

After living amongst the people of La Saba-neta for two years, Adam returned to Huron in December 2010. Adam was moved by the fact that he had made such a mark on the villagers’ lives during those two years that they did not want him to leave. Adam has yet to realize the depth to which this experience has affected him,

but he has come to the realization that life in America is not inherently better than life in Ni-caragua. “In some sense, we have complicated

our lives with all of the choices we have.” stated Adam. One aspect of life in America for which he is immensely thankful is the availability of clean drinking water. This is a luxury that is not found in many parts of the world. All in all, Adam truly enjoyed his experience in the Peace Corps and has benefi ted in unimaginable ways.

If you are interested in learning more about Adam Carruthers’ experiences in the Peace Corps, you can hear him speak at St. Peter’s Church on Thursday, April 7 at 7:00 PM. For information, contact Jane Miller at 419-433-3543.

BEHIND THE BADGE

BY CHIEF JOHN T. MAJOYThe law enforcement community re-

cently sustained a signifi cant loss from the line of duty shooting death of Sandusky Offi cer Andy Dunn. Andy leaves behind his family including his father and fellow police offi cer, Matt Dunn, along with his mother, wife and two small children.

This unnecessary and tragic loss of life has affected all of us to some degree. For the offi cers of the Huron Police De-partment, many of us knew Andy personally and are very saddened by his death.

I fi rst met Andy about eight years ago when he was a ca-det in the police academy. Having known his father for a long time, I quickly learned that Andy was an outstanding individual who had the drive and motivation to be an ex-cellent police offi cer. I recall a time where Andy was laid off and asked to come work for HPD on a volunteer basis just because he loved the job so much. Fortunately his layoff ended and shortly thereafter he was back on the streets of Sandusky to protect and serve.

In the week that followed, members of the Huron Police Department stepped up and provided a great deal of service and support in many ways. This was in the form of mutual aid assistance, shift coverage, meetings and, of course, fu-neral services for Offi cer Dunn. We were humbled by the amazing support of people from near and far. During the processional we saw people holding signs reading, “Thank You” and others holding their hands over their hearts.

I am very proud of the way our personnel handled them-selves during this diffi cult week. I was equally proud of how personnel went well above the normal call of duty to pro-vide assistance to the Sandusky Police Department along with the support given in recognition of Offi cer Dunn.

In tragic times like these, it is important for all of us to re-member that Andy served for a cause; he served for a belief; and he served for the betterment of his community.

To Offi cer Andy Dunn, our friend and fellow comrade, may you rest in peace in a place of honor…

Remembering Offi cer Andy

Dunn, a True Hero

EHOVE Treasurer Larry Hanneman of Norwalk was recently awarded the Certifi ed Ad-ministrator of School Finance and Operations certifi cation by the Association for School Busi-ness Offi cials I n t e r n a t i o n a l (ASBO Interna-tional).

This certifi cation is granted to highly qualifi ed individuals who ful-fi ll multiple requirements, including demonstrating eligibility through work experience and education, pass-ing a comprehensive two-part exam that tests competency in accounting and school business management topics, and adhering to the ASBO International Certifi cation Code of Conduct.

Hanneman volunteered to partici-pate in the beta test with 120 other candidates from all over the United

States and Canada, and with varying backgrounds and career fi elds. Feel-ing it was a good measure of the skills he’s acquired through his career, his efforts resulted in his receiving the certifi cation. 98 of his fellow candi-dates also earned the certifi cation. “I’ve been doing this for 22 years. It feels good to earn a certifi cation in my fi eld and know I’ve accumu-lated the right skills over that time,” Hanneman said.

POLICE REPORTS

Huron, Ohio – Four employees and three students of Bowling Green State University Firelands College recently received the “Institutional Change” honor as part of the 2011 Feminist Falcon Awards program sponsored by the Women’s Studies Department at Bowling Green State University.

The award recognizes individuals who have signifi cantly contributed to changes at BGSU that benefi t women. The changes may be recent or histori-cal and the award is open to all BGSU faculty, students, staff, and commu-nity members.

The seven BGSU Firelands awardees were nominated for their efforts in establishing, organizing, and execut-ing the VDay 2010 and 2011 activities on campus. VDAY is a global move-ment of grassroots activists dedicated to generating broader attention, edu-

cational awareness, and funds to stop violence against women and girls in-cluding rape, battery, incest, and sex slavery. This global effort creates new opportunities and resources by sup-porting local activities, which in turn donate proceeds to local and broader organizations.

The BGSU Firelands awardees are: Heather Beverly, Huron, is fi nishing her associate degree this year and will continue her education to become a Registered Nurse; Katia Castile, Nor-walk, is a liberal studies student and vice president of Women’s Resource Group; Traci Taylor, Sandusky, is completing an associate in the arts and is president of Women’s Resource Group; Sharon Britton, Oberlin, is director of the Library, an assis-tant professor, and co-advisor of the Women’s Resource Group; Brigitte

Green-Churchwell, Sandusky, is a special needs assistant in the Teach-ing and Learning Center; Sue Ellen McComas, Huron, is an assistant pro-fessor and co-advisor of the Women’s Resource Group; and Julie Didelot, Castalia, is an instructor of sociology and women’s studies.

According to the nominator, “These individuals have collectively been a part of shifting the institutional cul-ture at Firelands from one in which women’s issues were virtually invis-ible to one in which there is an in-creasing awareness of women’s issues, both local and global.”

The awardees were recognized at the Women’s Studies Research Sympo-sium Reception on Friday, March 25, held at the BGSU campus.

Sandusky, OH-Parkvue hosted our Second An-nual Fundraiser Fish Fry event at Parkvue Place on Friday, February 11 from 11:30 a.m. - 6:30 p.m.

Our Second Annual Fund-raiser Fish Fry was a huge success! There were nearly 300 people that at-tended event. That equates to about 1800 pieces of Yellow Perch breaded and fried at Parkvue. We were pleasantly pleased with the great atten-dance of this event. Parkvue is an not for profi t organization, therefore each year a team of employees meet to discuss ways we can better enrich the lives of the people that live at Parkvue. This year it was decided that the funds raised from the fi sh fry would help purchase communication equip-

ment to improve the lives of those living with impairments such as loss of hearing, eye sight, speech, and fi ne motor skills. Employees sold tickets, donated their time, and visited with guests to help support the event and the resi-dents they love.

Parkvue also had several raffl es to help support the fundraiser. Dirty Bird Charters, Huron, do-nated a porterhouse steak meat board; won by Sara Allen, and a wine and cheese basket; won by Ken Keller. Spray Solutions, Sandusky, donated a St. Patrick’s Day corned beef package, and pork

loin meat board; won by Dave Clark. Clara Mul-lins, Huron, donated a breakfast board; won by Amy Difi lippo. The 50/50 raffl e was won by Lois Finley, resi-dent at Parkvue Place.

Many guests’ stated this was the best fi sh they ever had and hoped we continue this event again next year. Oth-ers told us how well organized this event was. Everyone seems to have a won-derful time.

For more in-formation on how you can help Parkvue continue our mis-sion of caring for older adults by volunteering in future fundraising events or making a donating contact Tracy Clark at 419-602-2509 or email her at [email protected].

TAXES

FROM THE DESK OF DEE HARTLEY, SENIOR TAX ADVISOR, HURON H & R BLOCK

As if we don’t have enough to be concerned about in these tough eco-nomic times we fi nd our parents’ income decreasing and our children haven’t found the right job yet. Mom and Dad need help with their house-hold expenses and the kids move back home, sometimes with the grandchil-dren. The tax advantages can be a fi -nancial help.

More than 60 percent of baby boomers are actively helping a parent and half of them also have children under 25. These members of the “sandwich generation” – those supporting their parents and their own children – may be able to claim the up to $3,650 qualifying relative exemption for supporting their parents.

Generally, the eligible taxpayer must provide more than 50 percent of the fi nancial support for eligible expenses such as food, lodging, clothing, education, medical and dental care, recreation and transportation.

However, non-relative qualifying dependants also may allow supporters to claim expenses associated with their care, if they live with the taxpayer all year and meet other qualifi cations. And, the children claimed do not have to be blood relatives, but they must live with the taxpayer for more than half the year and meet other qualifi cations.

Meet with an H&R Block tax professional about under-standing how taxpayers can claim dependants of all ages and other tax breaks they might be entitled.

Other Money Management topics you may want to re-ceive information on are Budgeting, credit and debt, Re-tirement distribution planning and Identity theft.

BY LISA YAKOOn Sunday, March 27, approximately 50 people gathered

at the meeting hall of First Presbyterian Church in Huron to enjoy poetry and music. Huron resident and retired BGSU Firelands professor, Ron Ruble, had the vision for a local event to celebrate the written and musical arts. Ron’s vision became a reality this past Sunday. The afternoon event featured nine local poets including current Huron Poet Laureate, Rob Smith, and seventh-grade student, Hannah Blackwell. Each poet was challenged with creat-ing a poem that focused to some degree on spring. The topics of the poems ranged anywhere from pink shoes to oranges to war. Interspersed with the poetry readings were lovely musical pieces performed by Kim Ryu on cello, Janis Brewer on violin, and Jann Glann on piano. In the end, a most enjoyable time was had by all in attendance. Huron truly has some talented residents!

Ron Ruble hopes to make this event a tradition and ul-timately would like to hold poetry readings four times per year. The next event will be held on Sunday, October 2, 2011. The October reading will feature budding poets from McCormick Junior High School. The public is welcome to attend and is encouraged to participate. For more infor-mation, contact Ron at 419-433-3820.

Woodlands Intermediate School students were whisked away in the ‘Magic of Reading’ this past week. The students and staff enjoyed a week full of Right to Read activities

tied to the theme of magic. With guidance from principal, Mark Doughty, and third grade teacher Laura Harkelroad, the students felt they had a spell cast on them! Activities included voting for their favorite books and authors, de-signing posters and decorating doors.

The third through sixth grade students were really ex-cited to dress as their favorite book character or author. Contests were held on Wednesday for the best costume, and characters ranging from Harry Potter to Dracula were represented. Students were even asked to periodically to

STOP, DROP, and READ throughout the day. When Mr. Doughty sounded the sirens over the announcements sys-tems, students quickly grabbed their silent reading books and got right into reading, sometimes even in the halls. Several students admitted to this being one of their favor-ite activities of the week. Jaret Monak, a fifth grader, said, “I got so excited when Mr. Doughty told us to Stop, Drop, and Read. I wanted to do that ALL day!”

Another high ranked activity included the book swap held on Friday. Students brought in books to trade with one another, and at the start every table was covered. Stu-dents traveled through the swap selecting books for them-selves, siblings, and other family members. It was great fun for all. Also, all students were surprised with a free NEW book as they left lunch. Tables were brought in with books of all levels and interests. Students were able to pick out their new book to take home over the weekend.

The week concluded with a PTO sponsored magic show that was phenomenal. Students and staff were amazed by the clever show, and everyone agreed that it was definitely a great finale to a very successful week of reading activities!

The Cleveland Indians have teamed up with the local Teen Leadership Corps (TLC) for this year’s Goodwill do-nation drive.

The “Home Run Derby” donation drive seeks to col-lect gently used clothing and household goods to benefit Goodwill Industries and its mission to provide employ-ment services for the disabled and disadvantaged.

Under way now, the drive runs through April 8 and is being held at participating area schools. Families are asked to clean out their closets and send the gently used items to school with their children; and as an added bonus every student that donates has a chance to win tickets for the In-dians’ April 16 home game.

Teen Leadership Corps’ mission is to empower teens to make a difference in their communities through a service-learning curriculum and activities like the clothing drive.

“TLC is proud to partner with Goodwill again this year. The drive has been successful in the past, and the students get an inside look at Goodwill and the benefits of volun-teering,” said Mary Ann Creamer, TLC executive director.

“Goodwill greatly values working with a youth organi-zation like the Teen Leadership Corps, and is honored to again be the beneficiary of their efforts,” said Jeff Reed, Sandusky Goodwill’s director of marketing.

“The Cleveland Indians organization recognizes the im-portance of getting the youth involved in the community and were glad we could contribute to the drive,” said Steve Frohwerk, director of community outreach and charities for the Indians.

The Tobacco Education Awareness Management Com-mittee (TEAM) recently announced the semi-finalists in the 10th annual KICK SOME BUTTS anti-tobacco commercial contest. Final judging of the anti-tobacco commercials was held on March 23 in the Fisher-Titus Learning Center at Norwalk High School. The evening’s emcee was Kami Moon of WLKR Radio. This year, the date was chosen to coincide with the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids Kick Butts Day, a national day of activism that empowers youth to speak up and take action against tobacco use. Winners included:

First place received a plaque and $1000 and was awarded to: Monroeville High School “Tar and Hair Dye and Can-cer OH MY!” Team Mem-bers: Bailey Bollenbacher, Deanna Cox, Hallie Swan-son, Hannah Koch, Advisor: Connie Hanke.

Second place received a plaque and $800 and was awarded to: Crestview High School “The History For-gotten”. Team Members: Samantha Bradley, Chelsie Howman, Advisor: Judith Roman.

Third place received a plaque and $500 and was awarded to: Monroeville High School “Ingredients of Death”. Team Member: Desiree Boyer. Advisor: Connie Hanke.

The Larry Hanneman Award was presented to: Norwalk High School “Don’t Become Another Statistic”. Team mem-ber: Brandon Helman. Advisor: Christina MacFarland.

This year’s finalists and their videos were: Ashland High School “Awesome Power Pals”, Ashland High School “The Smoking Legacy”, Bowsher High School “Don’t Be A Statis-tic”, Upper Sandusky High School “The Flashback”, Clyde High School “The Smoke”, EHOVE Career Center “Thank You Big Tobacco”.

Each of the finalists received a plaque and $200.This contest has grown annually as students enthusiasti-

cally embrace the opportunity to showcase their creativity and communicate their message on tobacco use. Students may address a variety of topics including secondhand smoke,

dangers of cigarettes or cigar smoking, and smokeless tobac-co products in their videos.

The contest was open to area high school students in grades 9-12. To participate, students were invited to form teams of no more than five students, and create their own 30-second anti-tobacco commercial. This year, there were over 100 entries from 16 high schools throughout Northwest and Central Ohio. From these entries, 9 semi-finalists were chosen. The committee also selected a winner of the “Larry Hanneman Award”. This award is given to an entry that did not place in the top 10 but that the committee felt deserved recognition. The award was formerly named the Committee Choice and renamed to recognize Mr. Hanneman’s instru-mental contributions in making the Kick Some Butts anti-tobacco commercial contest the resounding success that it is today.

Every year more than 36,800 Ohio children under 18 will become new daily smokers. One third of them will eventu-ally die prematurely from smoking related diseases. This contest offers an educational experience in the power of ad-vertising, a creativity experience in communication, allows a student to exercise good citizenship skills in being proactive, encourages teamwork and offers substantial monetary prizes of $1000.00, $800.00, $500.00, and $200.00. Perhaps most significantly, by participating in this contest, many students may be encouraged to avoid becoming part of the sad Ohio smoking statistics. Sponsors of the contest include: Fisher-Titus Medical Center, The Bellevue Hospital, Memorial Hos-pital of Fremont, Samaritan Regional Health System, Samar-itan Hospital Foundation, Firelands Federal Credit Union.

Sam Pisano and Dick Klein threw out the fi rst pitch at Hu-ron’s new Varsity ballfi eld at Woodlands Elementary School. These two gentlemen played on one of the great area ball

teams in the 1930’s, 40’s and 50’s, with names like Campbell, Enderle and Volz. Back when towns all had their own teams and were not limited to the schools.

“We are very excited we have been able to provide our stu-dent-athletes with such beautiful facilities,” said Athletic Di-rector Monica Asher. “The Boosters have worked incredibly hard to bring these fi elds to fruition and we are incredibly lucky to have their support. These past two weeks, the Boost-ers, maintenance, and parent crews have worked around the clock to prepare the fi elds for play. It speaks volmes about this community and school district that we have so many people willing to volunteer their time for our kids and programs!”

Despite the pre-game festivities, the Huron Tigers fell to the Vermilion Sailors at the fi rst home game of the 2011 season.

Huron, Ohio – Bowling Green State University Fire-lands College is proud to announce the creation of the Richard P. “Dick” Smith BGSU Firelands Scholarship which will be available to students next fall semester.

The endowed scholarship is funded by Dick Smith, a native of Norwalk, Ohio, and owner of Dick Smith Re-

alty in Milan, Ohio. Smith is a 1974 graduate of BGSU Firelands where he was also student body president and president of the BGSU Firelands Viet Nam Veter-ans.

Smith’s commitment to the BGSU community ex-tended well beyond his graduation and included service

on the BGSU Firelands College Advisory Board for ten years, membership on the BGSU Continuing & Extended Education Advocates Board, and he currently serves of the BGSU Firelands Develop-ment Board.

In 1997, Smith was awarded BGSU Firelands College’s Distinguished Alumnus Award for achievement in his voca-

tion, service to his community and commitment to BGSU Firelands.

As an endowment, the Richard P. “Dick” Smith BGSU Firelands Scholarship will be awarded each year to a BGSU Firelands student with junior or senior stand-ing. Applicants for the $1,000 award must have a min-imum 2.5 grade point average and exhibit fi nancial need. Preference will also be given to non-traditional students who live in Erie or Huron counties, but these are not requirements.

Smith, who was actively employed while he was earn-ing his degree in the 70s, has stipulated that recipients of the scholarship must also demonstrate that they are contributing to their educational expenses by working in addition to their educational responsibilities.

For information on scholarship opportunities at BGSU Firelands, or to apply for the Richard P. “Dick” Smith BGSU Firelands Scholarship, please contact the Admissions Offi ce at 419-433-5560.

The National Safe Boating Council (NSBC) has an-nounced the 2011 winner of the BoatUS Boating Safety Youth Award. The Huron Water Safety Day Program has

won an award for its Water & Boating Safety Awareness Education Program for the youth.

Christine Crawford, Chairman and Co-Founder of the annual Water Safety Day event, travelled to Savannah, Georgia to accept the award at the beginning of March. Huron’s Water Safety Day is a structured educational full-day event focusing on water and boating safety available to all the third and fourth grade students of Huron. The Water Safety Day team assists with coordinating the event, while the Federal, State, and Local Safety Service agencies work together to deliver the powerful water and boating safety mes-sages. The US Coast Guard units from Marblehead and Detroit, the local US Coast Guard Auxiliary Flotilla 09-06-05, ODNR – Division of Watercraft, the American Red Cross, the American Canoe Association, Ohio Sea Grant, Huron Fire and Huron Police along with many others spend the day with the approximately 250 students. The program is designed for the students to travel in an organized fashion between fi ve differ-ent interactive educational safety sessions.

The program began in the spring of 2007 when Craw-ford sat down with then Fire Chief Paul Berlin to discuss how to create an enjoyable

program for the young students to learn about the nec-essary safety. Crawford, holder of a Coast Guard Master Captain’s License, a member of the Coast Guard Auxiliary, an avid sailor and Huron business owner used hers and Berlin’s talent, background and local resources to launch the successful program. Five years later the program has delivered the 1,000th life jacket while reaching out to 1,011 students about water safety. The program has been rec-ognized by the City government through several procla-mations, has been honored by receiving the Comman-dant’s Award from the US Coast Guard in 2008 and has received the US Coast Guard’s endorsement of the program and all the while being asked to present to the US Coast Guard Auxiliary a “How to” presentation. “Water and boating safety is critical in a riverfront, lake-front and Great Lake com-munity. We had no idea that fi ve years late our program would be growing and be-come a staple in the com-munity,” stated Crawford.

Crawford and Berlin still lead the Water Safety Day Team with the help from Jared Smith from the Hu-ron Fire Department, Doug Steinwart from the Huron Boat Basin, Jim Tremelling from the Coast Guard Aux-iliary and Jennifer Kilbury of Cottage Designs.

The Boating Safety Youth

Award is intended to provide a vehicle for recognizing in-dividuals and organization that have developed and suc-cessfully implemented innovative youth water and boating safety education programs.

The goal of this award is to encourage the development of the innovative water and boating education programs directed at youth. The Huron Water Safety Day Program was a fi ne example of innovative water and boating educa-tion programs for youth.

Water Safety Day Receives National Recognition

Christine Crawford and Paul Berlin, co-founders of Huron’s Water Safety Day for the third and fourth grade students of the Huron communi-ty, pose with the BoatUS Boating Safety Youth Award the program won earlier this month.
