The retirement of long time Law Director, Lee McDermond, was announced in the second half of 2008 and set in motion the administration’s responsibility of recruiting his replacement. The early announcement provided time for the recruitment process, which attracted the attention of many local, statewide and out of state attorneys, to unfold in conjunction with the day to day operations within the legal department. Ultimately, the twin necessities of experience and budgetary limitation combined to produce not one, but two replacements. Section (5) of the City’s Charter establishes the Department of Law and charges it with two distinct responsibilities: prosecution of criminal cases before the Municipal Court and administrative counsel to city officials. Last December the City Council authorized the contractual hiring of Huron attorney, Terry R. Griffith as Law Director. Ms. Griffith brings over 20 years of legal experience to city hall and is an Ohio State Bar Association certified specialist of labor and employment law. She is ad admitted to practice in all the courts in Ohio, the Northern and Southern Federal District Courts in Ohio, the Six Circuit Federal Court of Appeals, and the U.S. Supreme Court. She is a member of the Erie County Bar, the Ohio State Bar Association and Federal Bar Association. She has been a citizen of Huron since 1991 and presently lives in Chaska Beach. She has 4 children. As Law Director, Ms. Griffith is responsible for the day to day operations of the Law Department and will be directly responsible for providing legal counsel on legislative, parliamentary, contractual and personnel issues. Also in December, the Council authorized the hiring of attorney Laura Alkire to serve in the capacity of part time Assistant Law Director/ Prosecutor. Prior to accepting the position, Mrs. Alkire served as Assistant Prosecuting Attorney for Erie County. While with the Prosecutor’s Office, Mrs. Alkire was responsible for the successful prosecution of felony cases in the Erie County Court of Common Pleas, presentation of cases to the Erie County Grand Jury, and arguments before the Sixth District Court of Appeals. During that period of time, Mrs. Alkire was also assigned to prosecute cases on behalf of the Erie County Drug Task Force from December, 2004 to January, 2007. Prior to her work as an Assistant Prosecuting Attorney, Mrs. Alkire worked as the appellate brief writer and law clerk for the Erie County Prosecutor’s Office. She is a graduate of the Cleveland Marshall College of Law and The Ohio State University. In the short term, assigning the overlapping responsibilities of the Department to two part time employees, in favor of one full time employee, allows the city the opportunity to focus on each function of the position separately. In addition, this arrangement allows for savings on a full time fringe benefits package and will reduce the need for outside legal consultation on matters of personnel. This is an example of a number of policy decisions the city will pursue in light of the current economic downturn and commitment to deliver superior public service at the most efficient cost.

Interest in the Huron Bicentennial Beard Contest is “Growing”! Pictured is a photo of the judging of the local 1976 USA Bicentennial Beard Contest. You may recognize the participants: Ron VanRossum examines the beard of Dave Dreffer, while Bob Barnes looks on. In 1976 the winner was Ben and Don Lindley’s dad. The Huron Rotary Club is sponsoring the beard-growing contest this year and judging will take place this summer. Prizes and unending recognition await the winners. By the way, our readers are encouraged to share any photos they may have showing Huron’s past activities and people. The Huron Historical Society will scan the photos. There is no risk of losing the originals to “Gee, I don’t know who has them!” Just call Kathy Muehlhauser Moore at 419-433-5087 and leave a message for her.

Thanks to overwhelming support from area residents and the business community, the 2008 Firelands Festival of Lights, sponsored each holiday season by Sawmill Creek Charities and Barnes Nursery, Inc., Huron, distributed $62,000 to the 30 participating non-profit organizations. The organizations received their final checks at their closing meeting held Wednesday, January 21, 2009. This money will, in turn, be put to use by all of the organizations to continue their important programs and services to individuals and families in the Firelands community. The success of this yearly fund raising event is attributed to the generous donations collected at the Candy Cane House, the Ringing Swinging Silent Auction, the Vacation Raffle and the many business sponsors who gave financial support, expertise, and time and materials necessary to construct the light displays. The Festival of Lights Committee thanked all participants for their dedication to this annual event, to business sponsors who contributed to the non-profit organizations, to Barnes Nursery for donating crews to put lights on the large trees along the Sawmill Parkway, to the Sandusky Register, and to all residents who drove through the Festival from the day after Thanksgiving to December 31, 2008.

The children really enjoy the activities and learning environment that she creates.” The other nominating mother stated, “She has gone above and beyond helping me and my daughter and truly cares about the students. She gives the extra help and attention that some kids need. She is very helpful and supportive to us both.” Mrs. Spitler received a desktop trophy from Downing Billiard and Award and gift certificates from Perkins Restaurant and Max and Erma’s Restaurant as small tokens of appreciation for all she does for her students and school.

“We are delighted with the growth, particularly the numbers of new freshmen and undergraduate non-degree students who have chosen BGSU Firelands this spring as their college. Special initiatives, like the dual enrollment grant, expanded Saturday offerings, and classes at Norwalk High School are helping us to provide affordable access to a quality BGSU education for more and more students in our area. As Ohio seeks to increase the numbers attending college, the regional campuses are playing a central role in driving enrollment growth across the state. At BGSU Firelands we are proud to have the lowest tuition among Ohio’s 24 regional campuses,” stated Interim Dean James. M. Smith.

HURON HOMETOWN NEWS | Thursday, February 5, 2009

Church Chat As a student at the American University in Washington, DC, I was tutoring inner city children the night that Dr. King was killed. We watched the city burn, were pelted by eggs and epithets before we were hustled out by our African-American friends. That summer, the Poor People’s Campaign came through without Dr. King, and I met his former assistant Rev. Andrew Young. A couple years later Andy ran for Congress in Atlanta and was having a public relations problem due to too much help from Northern funding. When I asked if he could use my help, his only question was, “Can you still speak Southern?” When I replied with a syrupy drawl of “Y’ all come back now, y’ hear?” I was hired on the spot. We were called every name in the book, threatened, and some of my relatives wouldn’t speak to me. After working late one night, my office was firebombed early the next morning. But after two years and three elections, Andrew Young became the first AfricanAmerican Congressman from the South since Reconstruction 141 years before. I still remember the euphoria of linking arms around a circle with Coretta Scott King, the Rev. M.L. “Daddy” King Sr., Ralph Abernathy and all the civil rights icons, singing together “We Shall Overcome”. More chill bumps.

REV. ROGER’S REFLECTIONS Have you ever been to a Presidential Inauguration? When he was 10, our son Andrew got interested and I was able to get a couple of tickets to Bill Clinton’s first. We stood for REV. ROGER hours in the cold SKELLEY-WATTS with 100,000 of our “closest friends” as choirs sang, Maya Angelou waxed poetic, the Marine Corps Band played, and the Rev. Billy Graham prayed. I don’t remember much of President Clinton’s speech, but I do remember vividly what happened next. The platform party disappeared into the Capitol building. After a few minutes, we heard the “thump, thump, thump, thump” of helicopter blades. Then from behind the Capitol dome, the Army helicopter rose, carrying Former President George H.W. Bush. Flying right over the mass of humanity which had assembled to witness the new President be sworn in, the helicopter hovered above our heads, and bowed to the crowd. When that helicopter dipped, we all cheered in apprecia-

tion as the former President flew away. It still gives me chill bumps. I kept thinking, “Is this a great country, or what? Where else could two people who had fought tooth and nail for two years have coffee together, shake hands, and peacefully transfer power?” Every U.S. citizen should attend one Presidential Inauguration. This year’s Inauguration, of course, carried even greater historic significance, regardless of your political stripe. Maybe because I’m approaching a landmark birthday (the big 6-0), or my background is forcing me into a reflective mood. Growing up in the segregated South (Nashville, Tennessee), I remember the restrooms marked “White” and “Colored”, the lunch counter sit-ins, attacks of fire hoses and police dogs. One night driving around the countryside I happened upon a full-blown KKK rally – white hoods, burning crosses and all. Hot rage burned up into my face. Despite the fact that our ancestors had owned slaves, my family and my church taught me that God loved everyone the same, and sang, “Jesus loves the little children, all the children of the world. Red and yellow black and white all are precious in his sight. Jesus loves the little children of the world.”

24-Hour Bible Reading and Prayer Vigil to be Held The Junior and Senior High Youth will hold a 24-Hour Bible Reading/Prayer Vigil from Saturday, Feb. 7 at 8:00 am until Sunday Feb. 8 at 8 am. They wish to express the basic message of Christianity. That message is: Prayer is fundamental to the life of a Christian; and the Bible is fundamental to the life of a Christian. They will be reading aloud in our church Sanctuary. Help support them in this very

moving and meaningful mission by: Attending to listen to the Bible being read aloud, submitting prayer requests, and offering a donation to support the youth. The youth will be using the donations for their retreats and mission projects for our church and community. Please stop in anytime to listen to our youth read in our beautiful sanctuary.

The next day as I was cleaning out my desk, Andy walked in and asked, “So do you want to go to D.C. with me? I loved DC, politics; and Andy who had reached out and convinced us that God wanted all people, rich and poor, young and old, black and white to work together for the common good. But somehow Jesus gave me the courage to reply, “I feel God calling me to return to school and complete seminary.” Which I did, and the next fall I met my future wife, Joan. We moved to Ohio and the rest is history. Have you had a crossroads experience like that? When faced with a fork in the road one turn changed your life forever? Read some of Psalm 139 and see if it resonates in your spirit with God’s very voice as it does with me: “O Lord, you have searched me and known me… You search out my path…Even before a word is on my tongue, O Lord you know it completely. You hem me in, behind and before, and lay your hand upon me…For it was you who formed my inward parts; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made…In your book were written all the days that were formed for me, when none of them as yet existed…I come to the end – I am still with you.” (Verses 1- 18 excerpts NRSV). So our God is good all the time; ALL the time our God is good, and He hasn’t brought us this far to leave us now.

Bob Huey tells the story of his artificial disk replacement ...

Why I Chose Firelands for Surgery “Last spring I started feeling a lot of pain in my shoulders and neck, and I was losing strength in my left arm. I hurt all the time, and nothing I did helped the pain. My family doctor referred me to Dr. Yoo at Firelands Regional Medical Center. Dr. Yoo told me about a new type of surgery he was doing for herniated discs, using an artificial disc. He explained that the artificial disc would not limit my range of motion like fusion would. I had the surgery. What a difference! The pain is gone, my strength is back, and I can move my neck without any discomfort. Best of all, I’m working on cars again and my son and I have been hunting.”
