We are so excited to be a part of such an important
educational day. With Huron being a waterfront and
riverside community, water safety cannot be stressed
enough. If we can teach kids the importance of aware-
ness when they are around the water, and have fun at
the same time, it will be a great day! stated Christine

Approximately 265 third and fourth grade students
from all around Huron learned through the hands on
approach the valuable lessons of practicing water safety
last week during the 7th annual Water Safety Day event
held at the Huron Boat Basin.
Mayor Rick Schaffter proclaimed May 23, 2013 as Water
Safety Day in Huron. Local businesses along with Fed-
eral, State, and Local Safety Service agencies pulled to-
gether forces to deliver the powerful water and boating
safety messages. The goal of this event was to teach the
third and fourth grade students of Huron the need to
practice safety measures in and around water. Approxi-
mately 265 students participated in this event that had
blossomed from a coloring book idea 7 years ago.
US Coast Guard Station Marblehead, the local US Coast
Guard Auxiliary Flotilla 09-06-05, ODNR Division of
Watercraft, Ohio State Sea Grant, Erie MetroParks, Huron
Fire, Huron Police, Blinky and Coastie along with many
others spent the day with the students. The program is
designed for the students to travel in an organized fash-
ion between fve different interactive educational safety
sessions.
The hands on experience came when students were
actually able to toss life rings or boat hooks to frefght-
ers who were in the water and pull them to the docks.
Students continued their tossing skills with ODNR Divi-
sion of Watercraft as they would toss life rings to mani-
kins.
Erie MetroParks provided a large unit on kayaking and
the importance of wearing a life jacket and wet suit de-
pending on water temperature. Students were able to
sit in the kayaks on land to get a feel for their stability.
Mr. Tori Gabriel from the Ohio State Sea Grant spoke on
Lake Erie and the interesting creatures one may fnd in it.
US Coast Guard Station Marblehead had three of their
boats available for the students to board and explore.
The crew gave a short presentation of their duties and
was available to answer questions the students had. The
Coast Guard Auxiliary taught the students how to tie dif-
Huron Students Learn Valuable Water Safety Lessons
A 6th grade Gifted Language Arts student,
Grace Moser, learned recently her poem; Climb
Away from her book Gravity will be published
in an upcoming issue of the national magazine,
Creative Kids.
Grace is the eighth student in fve years from
Woodlands to have had work accepted into Cre-
ative Kids magazine, explained Mr. Dale Casper,
Gifted Intervention Specialist. We have had
some very strong submissions over the years,
he continued.
Earlier in the school year the students of Mr.
Caspers 6th Grade Gifted Language Arts Class
had completed a section on poetry in their Cre-
ative Writing unit. The students learned about
writing different types of poems and toward the
end of the unit created a book out of their best
works of art.
Moser received a letter in the mail confrming
her future publication in the magazine. Her win-
ning poem, Climb Awayis a nature poem about
her love for climbing her favorite tree. Moser re-
fers to the winner as a Double Haiku with a 5-7-5-
7-5 pattern. The selected piece was written this
past fall as part of the classroom assignments.
Moser is a very talented young lady with many
interests. When not in the classroom writing po-
etry, she may be seen in the dance studio per-
forming many different types of dance; such as,
ballet, tap or contemporary. Moser is also broad-
ening her repertoire with acting and piano les-
sons and on many of Saturday mornings she can
be found on the soccer feld. One of Moser fa-
vorite pastimes is travelling with her family.
The Creative Kids magazine is geared toward
gifted students between the ages of 8 and 16.
The competition is tough as students are com-
peting on a national level. Materials for sub-
mission include cartoons, songs, short essays,
puzzles, photographs, artwork, games, editorials,
poetry, and plays.

The Losses:
Hermes & Scott, fsh warehouse, $5,000; no insurance
W.C. Heyman, fsh warehouse and contents, $6,000; no insurance
W.C. Heyman, ice house, $500; no insurance
C.A. Weichel, stock of ice, $500; no insurance
V. Fries estate, barn and lumber, $1,000; fully insured
For a time, Friday afternoon, the village of Huron was
threatened with a most disastrous fre, which seemed
likely to sweep the river front and spread to business
blocks. The dying down of the wind, however, prevented
such a disaster, and the blaze was practically confned to
four buildings, the lumber yards being saved. The total
loss is estimated at about $12,000 or $13,000, with but
little insurance being given above.
The fre broke out in the fsh and twine warehouse of
Hermes and Scott, on the river front, near the Fries lum-
ber yards, and spread rapidly. A half dozen people saw
the blaze break out about 4:30 and turned in the alarm.
How the fre started no one knows. A puff of black smoke
suddenly burst out of a window on the frst foor, and in
another moment the building was a mass of fames. No
one had been near the building, and no fre was near the
place, so far as is known. The day before, a large quantity
of nets and twine had been freshly tarred and stored in
the building, and this burned like tinder.
Huron has no fre department to speak of. There is one
little hand engine and a supply of hose, and a volun-
teer company, of which Henry Shaffer is chief. The fre-
men turned out in good order, and soon had the little
engine manned, but the sickly stream of water thrown
was of no avail. The fames rapidly spread to the large
fsh warehouse of W.C. Heyman, and also to Heymans ice
house. When it was seen that the fre was likely to spread
to the lumber yards, an urgent appeal for help was sent
to Sandusky. It required time to make up a special train
and get the big steamer loaded on, but a quick run was
made and by 5:45, the Sandusky fremen were on hand
and ready for business. By that time, however, the fre
was well under control, and there was nothing to do but
turn a stream onto the ruins and keep the fre in check as
a precaution against a possible high wind.
Huron will feel the loss by fre severely. In both fsh
houses, there were quantities of twine which were de-
stroyed. The ice, owned by C.A. Weichel, was consider-
ably damaged and may be worthless. It is not likely
that the warehouses will be rebuilt, and this makes the
loss the more severe for Huron people. They consider
themselves fortunate; however, in that the fre came at a
time when there was little wind, for had the strong north
wind of the last few days been blowing, nothing would
have saved the lumber yards and many buildings in the
vicinity.
It was the hard work of the Huron fremen and citizens
that saved much loss in the lumber yard. Before the
steamer arrived from Sandusky, the blaze had spread to
a barn adjoining the lumber piles. On the second foor
of this barn was stored a quantity of fne lumber. As
the lower part of the barn was burned away, the foor
fell. Then men went to work tearing down parts of the
burning building and removing the lumber. One pile of
lumber was also torn down, and this prevented a further
spread of fre. At one time, the large lumber ware house
was on fre, so great was the heat, but this blaze was ex-
tinguished. The loss to the Fries estate will not exceed a
thousand dollars.
Two vessels, the tug Industry and the barge Columbia
were lying in the river adjoining the fsh houses, but they
were not in much danger at any time.
The fre attracted a great crowd of people, and cars
running to Huron from both east and west carried many
people. When the Sandusky steamer was started, there
was a novel sight for the Huron folks. Their chief regrets
that the fremen did not reach them earlier.

United Way of Erie County and Family-
Wize Community Service Partnership, the
nations leading provider of free prescrip-
tion drug discount cards, along with 1,000
other local United Ways today announced
the milestone achievement of having
helped more than 5 million people get
medicine they otherwise would not have
been able to afford. Locally, 713 people
have been directly helped by this pro-
gram.
Saving people money on necessary
prescriptions is vital to the health and
well-being of our families and our com-
munity, said Pamela Brumbaugh, Execu-
tive Director, United Way of Erie County.
Too often, not taking medicine you need
because you cant afford it begins a series
of consequences that could start with
disease progression and end with large
medical bills or even bankruptcy.
Since 2005, FamilyWize, United Ways
and pharmacies around the country have
helped people stay healthy and produc-
tive in more than 95 percent of all U.S.
counties. The partnership has provided
free prescription discount cards that help
people get the medicine they need, ac-
counting for more than $500 million in
direct savings on prescriptions. Patients
in our area have saved $78,415 since the
program began.
Dan Barnes, president and CEO of Fami-
lyWize, noted the signifcance of reaching
the $500 million milestone, explaining
that, We set an ambitious goal for our
partnership - to help families save $1 bil-
lion on the cost of medicines by the end
of 2015. Now were halfway there.
Studies show the partnership addresses
a critical need. According to Consumer
Reports, Americans who are fnancially
strapped tend to skip medicine or lower
their dosages. A New England Journal of
Medicine article reported that the cost of
medicine not taken exceeds $100 billion
each year on avoidable hospitalizations
and $177 billion on additional health-
care costs. And a Harvard University/CVS
Caremark study shows that taking medi-
cine as prescribed can save as much as
$7,800 per patient annually, money that
otherwise would be spent on emergency
rooms, hospitalizations, tests and other
procedures. Financial complications that
often arise when necessary medicine isnt
taken as prescribed include absentee-
ism, job losses, mortgage forfeitures and
bankruptcies.

ship demonstrates how a grassroots
initiative can help individuals and com-
munities avoid such consequences,
Brumbaugh added. We provide these free
prescription discount cards to local social
service agencies, faith-based organiza-
tions, schools, community centers, local
government and healthcare providers so
everyone can get the medicine they need.
Many local pharmacists and physicians
also assist by providing cards or making
their patients aware of how to get a card,
either through United Way of Erie County
or the FamilyWize.org. Savings are often
as high as 75% off the price charged with-
out the card, which can be used for any
FDA approved medicine at most pharma-
cies. With average savings of about $20
per prescription, the FamilyWize card of-
ten means families can avoid an unpleas-
ant choice between get-
ting medicine or buying
food.
Peoples need for such
assistance will not dimin-
ish with the Affordable
Care Act and Healthcare
Reform, Barnes said, add-
ing that the Congressio-
nal Budget Offces recent
report on the Effects of
the Affordable Care Act
on Health Insurance Cov-
erage estimate anywhere
from 29-44 million will re-
main without insurance
over the next ten years.

about the free prescription
cards, call United Way of Erie
County at (419) 625-4672.

Huron High School Awards
Students of the Month for April
Part of being a student in EHOVEs
Construction Tech program is work-
ing at off campus job sites to gain real
world experience. Many times, the stu-
dents and their instructor, Bob Wilhelm,
make a point of working on projects
that are meaningful to the community.
This school year, the Construction
Tech students have worked on two
such important sites. At the Ohio Vet-
erans Home (OVH) in Sandusky, the
seniors repaired the roofs on the mau-
soleum and the pump house, which
were both built in 1878, working hard
to maintain the authentic look of both
buildings. They also converted an old
storage room into a break room for
OVH staff. They were assisted with the
electrical work by the EHOVE Electrical
Tech seniors.
At the Huron County Fairgrounds in Norwalk, the ju-
niors constructed the Monica Beth Rose Memorial Shel-
ter is in memory of an EHOVE Career Center student
who passed away during her senior year after being
diagnosed with a very rare type of liver cancer at age 16.
Monica loved EHOVE Career Center, said Monicas
mom Holly Rose of Bellevue. Having EHOVE involved in
this project means a lot to our family.
The Huron County Fairgrounds was a very important
part of Monicas life. Monica loved horses and enjoyed
riding them since the age of six.
I think this project EHOVE is doing is wonderful, said
Monicas aunt Irene Poore of Bellevue. EHOVE offered
to do this as a class project versus other contractors
who wanted a lot of money.
I think this is a great class project and a great thing to
do for the family,said Construction Tech student
Collin England (Monroeville HS). Its great to do
something good for Monicas family and it gives
construction tech students a great experience.
Monicas initials are carved in the cement. The
Price Family Foundation also contributed by do-
nating money for the bleachers.
EHOVE Career Center is a leading career tech
school in Milan Township. This high school and
adult education facility draws students from
a variety of locales, and serves multiple school
districts in Erie, Huron and Ottawa Counties.
Students are given the opportunity to take chal-
lenging academic classes in a customized and
relevant curriculum, and gain hands-on training
and real world experience to prepare them for
college or a specifc career. For more informa-
tion, go to www.EHOVE.net or call 419-499-4663
