In a recent article, I explained how theCity o Huron recently completed a ma-

jor overhaul o the Citys water fltrationplant. Namely, city employees modern-ized the plant, identifed and repairedwater main leaks, paid o debt, replacedwater meters and acquired the capabil-ity to automatically read them. Despiteall o these improvements, water rates orresidents within the city limits have notincreased since 2007.

Jason Gibboney serves as the superin-tendent and laboratory manger or Hu-rons water fltration plant which is locat-ed on Cleveland Road, West. Gibboney isenthusiastic about his work and is alwaysthrilled when someone has an interest inknowing rom where their water comes.

Further, he is always ready and willing togive anyone a tour o the plant. Last week,I did just that.

Hurons water fltration plant, construct-ed in 1957, is the second plant in Huronshistory. According to Gibboney, Huronswater fltration plant is a conventionalsurace water plant, which means thatits unctions consist o coagulation, oc-culation, sedimentation, and fltration. Inlayman terms, this means that the water,which is drawn rom Lake Erie, must befltered and cleaned through a series oprocesses and addition o chemicals inorder to make it potable. Hurons water

fltration plant has a 3-oot diameter con-crete intake pipe which extends about 0.5miles out into Lake Erie. Water is drawn

rom the lake into a shore well that sitsdeeper than the intake. The water nextows to the wet well which is deeper thanthe shore well. From there, 4 pumps, eachwith a pumping capacity o 1,875 gallonsper minute, are employed to move thewater into the ash mix chamber. At thispoint, the water is mixed and 2 chemicalsare added. Because the lake water con-tains sediment (i.e., sand, dirt, etc.), alumi-num chlorohydrate is added to act as acoagulant and help the sediment to pre-cipitate out o the water. When neededto improve taste, carbon is added at thispoint also. Next, the water travels to 1 o5 occulators which slowly mix the water

and chemical so as to promote sedimen-tation. The water then ows to 1 o 5 sedi-mentation basins and remains there or4 hours. Approximately 99% o the sedi-ment or turbidity settles out o the waterin the sedimentation basins. Ater this,the water travels to 1 o 5 conventional fl-ters representing dierent grades o fltra-tion media. The water passes through theflters at a rate o 300 gallons per minute.The remaining 1% o the turbidity in thewater is absorbed by the flter media atthis point. As the water passes out o theflters, chlorine, uoride, and caustic sodaare added. The chlorine disinects the wa-

ter. Fluoride, added to drinking water as

required by the Environmental ProtectionAgency, helps build strong teeth. Finally,caustic soda helps adjust the pH (i.e., theacidity/alkalinity) level o the water. Thewater then passes through a maze o 3clear wells. This maze allows the chlorinetime to work. From the fnal clear well,4 high-service pumps, each capable opushing 1,840 gallons per minute, pro-vide the pressure necessary to bring wa-ter to your home and to the citys 2 watertowers. Additionally, water is pumpedto Erie Countys water tower which hasa capacity o 1 million gallons. Just be-ore the water leaves the plant, however,a small amount o phosphate is addedto coat the pipes throughout the city in

order to prevent corrosion. All in all, the

whole process rom water being drawnrom Lake Erie to the point that it leavesthe plant takes 12 hours.The plant, which is operated 10 hours

per day, currently produces 1.2 milliongallons o clean water per day. How-ever, at maximum capacity the plant canhandle up to 3.4 million gallons per day.Further, with a relatively easy and inex-pensive expansion, the capacity couldbe increased to 4.9 million gallons perday. So, the question remains as to whatshould or could the City o Huron do withthis potential excess o water? This is thequestion that I will address in uture ar-ticles. Again, I welcome your commentsand questions.

Civic leaders have a variety o economictools that they can employ to promote eco-nomic development. According to HuronCity Manager, Andy White, these tools in-clude but are not limited to tax abatements,tax increment fnancing, wholesale utilityrates, income tax credits, competitive prop-erty pricing o city-owned property, accessto state and ederal grant programs, accessand coordination with Jobs Ohio, etc. Onetool that has gained popularity amongst civ-ic leaders and business owners is tax abate-ment, a temporary reduction or eliminationo a tax. According to sections 3735.65-70o the Ohio Revised Code, the purpose osuch abatements is to promote re-vitaliza-tion in depressed areas by oering propertytax exemptions or any increased propertyvaluation that would result rom renovationo existing structures or new constructionactivities within the area. In order to oertax abatements, a municipality must frstcreate a Community Reinvestment Area(CRA). Around 2007, Huron designated thearea rom the southeast corner o Rye BeachRoad and Cleveland Road to the northwestcorner o Rye Beach and Bogart roads as aCRA. More recently, the ConAgra site hasalso been designated as a CRA. Hence, anybusiness located within a CRA that is plan-ning an expansion or any business wishingto re-locate there is eligible to apply or a tax

abatement.On Tuesday evening, the Huron City Coun-cil overwhelmingly approved a tax abate-ment agreement with Huron business,News 2 You. This company produces sym-bol-supported news articles, curriculum,and other media specifcally designed orspecial learners. Though already located on

University Drive, East, within the CRA area,News 2 You plans a $1.7 million expansion otheir acility. The company, which currentlyhas 34 ull-time employees and a payroll o$3.2 million, expects to create a minimum oour new ull-time positions ollowing theexpansion. In their CRA application, News2 You requested the maximum thresholdallowed by law, a 15-year 100% tax abate-ment. Though the taxes on the currentNews 2 You acility will be unaected, theproperty taxes on the proposed improve-ments will be ully abated or 15 years ol-lowing completion. This will correspond toan annual savings o about $36,548. Underthe abatement agreement which was previ-ously approved by the Huron Board o Edu-cation, the Huron City Schools will receive agit o 25% o the abated tax annually. Thiswill equal approximately $137,055 over 15years. The Huron City Schools has electedto earmark this money or capital expendi-tures related to special education.

Though tax abatements might seem a bitcontroversial, they are an eective tool orpromoting economic growth. In the case oNews 2 You, Huron City ofcials recognizedthat oering the tax abatement made goodeconomic sense. There is no developmentwithout an incentive. I this incentive ailedto go through, the $1.7 million expansionwould have been hypothetical. The $1.7million would have been invested else-

where. explained White. Because the taxabatement has been improved, News 2 Youand their employees will remain rooted inour community. Ultimately, the abatementis good or both the company and the com-munity as a whole. News 2 You plans tocommence work on their expansion on orbeore May 1, 2013.

Candy-striped beets,popcorn shoots, celerymicrogreens, anise hys-sop. More than likely, mostpeople have never tried, let

alone ever heard of, thesevegetables; yet, Mrs. DianaMillers fourth grade classat St. Peter School

had the opportunity to taste these veg-etables and more last Wednesday. Thisexperience is part of the Veggie Uclassroom garden program that isunderway at St. Peter. Accordingto Vicki Jenkins, marketing coor-dinator at Veggie U, This uniqueprogram was designed to teachchildren about nutrition andthe importance of making wisefood choices, as well as intro-duce them to the concept ofsustainable agriculture. Veggie

Us attitude surveys show thatparticipation in the program in-creases the likelihood that vegeta-bles will remain a healthy choice inthe students diet.The vegetables that the St. Peter students

tasted were grown and supplied by the ChefsGarden. The 27 students were very excited and willing totaste the unique vegetables. Some vegetables were def-initely better-received than others. The students usedadjectives such as fresh, sweet, bitter, and disgusting todescribe what they tasted. Allison Dieter, who statedthat she had never before tasted cauliower, gave it athumbs up. Overall, the majority of the students agreedthat they would like to eat these vegetables again. Themost popular of the offerings were cauliower, carrots,spinach, and beets. No one expressed interest in trying

anise hyssop, which tastes like black licorice, again.In the next phase of the program, the St. Peter studentswill be growing some of their own vegetables, as wellas sustaining a worm farm. Jenkins stated that VeggieU truly believes that educating children in an engag-ing, experiential way helps them to learn. Veggie Usscience-based program offers a hands-on seed-to-plant-ing-to-harvest experience. This comprehensive programcovers both state and national science standards. Stu-dents are fully engaged in the process and are requiredto keep a journal of their experiences. The classroomlessons include studies of soil, composting, planting, nu-

trition, and plant anatomy. The program will be culmi-nated with a vegetable Feast Day.

Jenkins explained that the overall mission of VeggieU, a non-prot, is to promote the well-being of childrenthrough a healthy lifestyle, with a focus on making wisefood choices. Further, she explained that Veggie U is

an effective way to combat the growing epidemic ofchildhood obesity and diabetes, and the onslaught ofpackaged food marketing aimed at schoolchildren.

The Veggie U curriculum was created by a teamof educators, a physician, and a nutritionist.

To date, over 2,600 of the classroom gar-den kits have been placed in 31 states

and Washington, D.C. The programis made available to classroomsthrough private donations andgrants. At St. Peter, the programwas made possible through agenerous donation by BlockCommunications. For moreinformation on Veggie U, visittheir web site www.VeggieU.org.

On Wednesday, April 17, 10 young children and their parent or guardian visited the Huron Fire Station for a time

of reading and touring. The children are part of Erie County Board of Developmental Disabilities Early ChildhoodIntervention program. This program assists children from birth to age three who have been diagnosed with adisability or established developmental delay. Captain Doug Nash and Lieutenant Ken Berlin read with children,

passed out re hats, and allowed the children to climb aboard the ambulance and retrucks. A delightful time was had by all.

Reading With Rescuers

The Ohio Department of Natural Resources, Division ofWatercraft stopped by Shawnee Elementary School toremind the rst grade students with summertime on itsway and living in a lakefront community it is importantto play it safe in and around the water. State Watercraft

Ofcers Walter Hodgkiss, Mike Pager and Maurice Irishspent the afternoon with the rst grade students lastWednesday reviewing the different types of lifejacketsand determining which size and style best suited theyoung audience.The energetic little Shawnee students were able to see

rsthand how wearing a lifejacket properly is importantand how they save lives. The Watercraft Ofcers cre-ated a boat accident scenario for the students which

required them to think through properlyputting on their life jackets. The observ-

ing students then had to determine which classmateshad jackets on correctly and tting properly. Make surethere are enough jackets in the boat for everyone, re-minded Ofcer Hodgkiss.

There are ve different types of life jackets: Type I, TypeII, Type III, Type IV, and Type V. Two of the more commontypes often seen along the shores of Lake Erie are TypeII and Type III. When purchasing a life jacket make sure ithas a Coast Guard Approved label, a snug t, head sup-port for younger children and is comfortable and ac-cepted by older children so they will wear it, advised theDivision of Watercrafts website.Type II life jackets can only be worn one way. Childrens

version of a Type II often has a high collar to help keep

the face out of the water.Type III life jackets are very

similar to Type II in perfor-mance, however they varyin style. Type III jackets areoften more comfortable andoffer more freedom of move-ment.Type I looks very similar to

Type II however is for boatingin severe conditions whererescue may be delayed. TheType I jacket is very square,spongy and has reectivetape on it for easy spotty,explained Ofcer Irish. The

Type IV jacket is a boat cush-ion and it not meant to beworn. This cushion is meantto be tossed to someone in

the water and to be hugged like a bear, explained Of-cer Pager.

In addition to reviewing the different types of life jack-ets, the students took a pledge to always be safe andwear their life jackets around the water. For more infor-mation regarding life jackets, proper t and water and

ODNR Division of Watercraft Visits Shawnee Elementary School

ODNR Watercrat Ofcer Irish assists a Shawnee frst graderin putting on a Type III lie jacket to model to her classmates.

ODNR Watercrat Ofcers Irish and Pager simulate a boataccident with the students o Shawnee Elementary Schoolduring a lie jacket campaign last week.

After a rough early season of poor weather, Springmade enough of an appearance to allow the HuronTigers Varsity Softball squad to play a double headeragainst the Monroeville Eagles.

In the rst game, Sophomore Emma Elder threw sixscoreless innings that included 11 Ks while giving upjust two hits and a single walk. Meanwhile the Tigeroffense exploded with 10 runs. Morgan

Asberry and Jenna Witter both were perfect at theplate, going three for three. Freshman Bailey Gaddwent 2 for 3 with a single and triple, driving in tworuns for the home team. The score was 10 - 0 with

Huron out hitting the Eagles twelve to two.In the second game, the Tiger offense grew even hot-

ter picking up a 19-5 victory. Jenna Witter, again, hadthree hits and scored three times while teammate Ali-son Litzs three hits included two triples and a double.In this game, Gadd hit a home run and nished theday just a double shy of the cycle. Kiersten Hammondreceived her rst win of the season from the mound.She lasted ve innings, giving up four earned runs onthree hits and four walks.

According to Huron head coach Mike Everman, Weare getting some good quality at bats from the middleto the bottom of our order. Alison Litz and Jenna Wit-ter are seeing the ball really well lately. Our defense iscutting down the mental and physical errors as of late,which helps out our pitchers. The team is currently3-5 and 1-1 in the SBC.

Thirteen Shawnee Elementary Schoolstudents participated in the St. JudesMath-A-Thon recently under the direc-tion of kindergarten teacher, Mrs. KelliMalone.

St. Jude designed Math-A-Thon to sup-plement a teachers existing curriculum,

while teaching students the importanceof helping others. The Shawnee studentswho participated completed a mathworkbook based on their grade level andcollected pledges from sponsors for ev-ery correct problem they did.This year, the Shawnee students donat-

ed just over $600 to St. Judes ChildrensResearch Hospital. An additional $100was donated from the staff for a casual

dress day. To date, the kindergartenersthrough 2nd grade have raised $3,098.37.

St. Judes is very appreciative of the do-nation. The love comes through whenthe students and school does the Math-A-Thon, not only to learn more math, butto learn about St Jude and to keep their

doors open for the future, stated a St.Jude representative.The Math-A-Thon has been Americas

largest education-based fundraiser andhas been going strong for over 30 years.The funds raised by the students benetSt. Jude, where doctors and scientists areworking nonstop to eliminate childhoodcancer and other tragic childhood dis-eases.
