MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR
Greetings! I sincerely thank the staff, Board, and library members for welcoming me with open minds and hearts into
this community. From the first, fresh (and cold) days of 2014, I have enjoyed every opportunity to learn more about
the great people of Huron, the goals and plans of our city leaders, and the multitude of ways in which the public
library connects us all. I am pleased and grateful to have discovered an organization pulsing with life and a
community that understands the value of its hometown library. Let‟s use 2014 to get to know each other, share our
hopes and goals for the greater community, and establish increasing interconnectivity between government and
citizens, business and consumers, library and people. I look forward to developing, along with my staff, Board, and
dedicated volunteers, ever expanding connections to the people, city, and environment that surround us. The Huron
Public Library is here to support your goals; whether you are exploring bold ideas, embarking on a career change,
discovering new technology, or preparing young children for a literate life.
Thank you for the opportunity.
Most sincerely,
Benjamin Reid

WEEKEND FAMILY MOVIES
Nanny McPhee Returns
Disney’s Frozen
2010, 109 minutes, Rated PG
2014, 102 minutes, Rated PG
The magical Nanny McPhee (Emma
Thompson) always seems to arrive
when she‟s needed the most and
wanted the least. When she knocks
on the farmhouse door of a busy
young mother, Isabel Green
(Maggie Gyllenhaal), she discovers
that Mrs. Green‟s children are in an
all-out household war with their two
spoiled city cousins. Relying on
magic, Nanny shows the children
five valuable lessons, the most important of which is learning how to
get along. Critics are saying this
heartwarming family adventure is
sure to become a classic.
This is a captivating film inspired by
Hans Christian Andersen‟s story “The
Snow Queen.” Princesses Anna and
Elsa are sisters who are close until Elsa
discovers she has an uncontrollable
power to create ice and snow. Elsa
isolates herself to protect everyone but
Anna tries to stay as close to Elsa as
she can. Years later when Elsa comes
out of isolation to be crowned queen,
things go horribly wrong and she banishes herself to the mountains. Anna,
along with an interesting array of characters, sets out to save her sister and
the kingdom that has been inadvertently frozen. This movie has many wonderful visual effects and great music.

SPEAKER SERIES
A Conceptual History of the Sublime
Managing Healthcare Costs During Retirement
Thursday, March 6 at 7 pm
The Sublime is a quality of greatness beyond all possibility of
calculation and comprehension. As an experience (whether of art
or the natural world), it leaves the observer in awe, terror, or
confusion. This talk examines the development of this concept
from its earliest incarnations in the philosophies of Ancient
Greece and Medieval theology to its modern renditions à la
Victor Hugo and Jean-Francois Lyotard. This presentation is by
Jarret Pervola, a professor of philosophy and the arts at Lorain
County Community College and an avid library enthusiast.
Thursday, April 3 at 7 pm
This program is presented by William Murray of UBS
Financial Services, Inc. of Sandusky. Health care is currently
the second largest expense for many retirees, and costs are
expected to increase more quickly than the rate of inflation.
Please join us to learn more about Medicare and various
solutions that may help you cover your health care expenses
throughout retirement.
Begin Birdwatching:
Where to Go and What to Look for When You Get There
Thursday, March 13 at 7 pm
Paul Sherwood, a local avid birder will help beginning birdwatchers get started in this wildly popular hobby. Discussion will
include local birding hotspots, identification techniques, tips on
purchasing optical equipment, use of field guides, and much
more. Paul got his BS in Natural Resources from Ohio State and
MPA from the University of Akron. He has been a naturalist for
Columbus/Franklin County Metroparks, Huron National Forest
(Tawas City, MI), Logoly State Park (McNeil, AR), Erie Metroparks, Magee Marsh Wildlife Area, Black Swamp Bird Observatory and a field biologist for BHE Environmental Services
(Cincinnati). Migration season starts soon and North-central Ohio
is the place to be in spring. Get prepared to get birding.
Plum Brook and the Farmers
Thursday, April 10 at 6:30 pm
Bill Lucht presents his documentary “LAND of the Free? Home
of the BRAVE!” In 1941, the way of life for dozens of families
living in several townships of Erie County was altered forever.
The War Department displaced dozens of families from their
farms and businesses so that it could build the Plum Brook
Ordnance Works in order to produce TNT in preparation for
war. Come hear and see the pathos in the stories of these
patriotic people whose families and community were
uprooted. There will be opportunity for interaction with the
producer.
AUTHOR VISITS
Five Million Steps:
Thru-Hiking the
Appalachian Trail
Tom Batiuk and the
“Funky Winkerbean”
Tuesday, May 6 at 6:30 pm
Robert Grau was retired and a non-hiker with no hiking gear,
when he decided to thru-hike the 2181-mile trail. His lifechanging journey took 170 days as he hiked through 14 states
from Georgia to Maine. Less than 25% of aspiring thru-hikers are
successful in completing the very arduous trek. Mr. Grau was
severely challenged but not deterred after breaking his ankle in
the White Mountains of New Hampshire. To complete the hike, he
hobbled the last 380 miles over very treacherous terrain. At the
conclusion of the presentation, Mr. Grau will sell and sign his book,
Five Million Steps on a Journey of Hope: Thru-Hiking the Appalachian Trail. All book proceeds go to benefit “Journey of Hope,” a
local charity that helps adult cancer patients.

Thursday, May 22 at 7 pm
Tom Batiuk has been recognized for his humorous and
entertaining fictional portrayals, and acclaimed for his sensitive treatment of social and educational issues. Mr. Batiuk was
a junior high school art teacher in Elyria when he created a
comic panel for teens for the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram. That
panel was the precursor to his award-winning comic strip
“Funky Winkerbean.” Since its debut in 1972, Funky
Winkerbean has chronicled the lives of a group of students
from the fictitious Westview High School. The Complete Funky
Winkerbean, Vol. I, presents the strip‟s first three years, introduces Funky, and his friends Crazy Harry Klinghorn, Bull
Bushka, Livinia Swenson, Les Moore, Holly Budd, and Roland
Mathews. Join Mr. Batiuk as he shares his early attempts at
cartooning, discusses his career and explains the genesis of

March: Alex Miller
Alex Miller is a child of the sixties born one generation too late. From an early
age he never wanted to pursue any career other than being an artist whose job,
as he describes it, is to bring beauty into the world. Alex graduated from EHOVE
in 2005 where he studied Visual Communication. He currently lives with his
parents in the house where he was raised. Alex‟s future plans are to do whatever
he can to help the world while having as much fun as he can while doing it. Alex
mainly works with acrylics but dabbles in other mediums. Lately he has been doing
a series he calls “The Elements” using oils on barn slates.
April: Spring Showcase
Bob Herkner painted “The Eternal Cross” as an individual project while he was a student at
the Episcopal Theological School in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The painting was previously
on exhibit in the school‟s library in 1973. “Rooted in history,” he notes, “the cross lives on
beyond space and time as we understand them. Long a symbol of the Christian faith, the
cross endures as testimony of Jesus‟ triumph over sin and death. An instrument of death
became the symbol for new life. The painting can be useful for personal reflection and
meditation.” Mr. Herkner served for many years as the rector of Calvary Episcopal Church in
Sandusky. Now retired, Bob lives in Huron with his dog, Samson.
May: Loretta Majoy
Although born in Mansfield, Loretta Majoy has never been a stranger to Huron.
Her family had a cottage here and made summers a yearly tradition. In 1994,
Loretta moved into the family cottage and accepted a position as a nurse in
Sandusky.
Loretta was always a “photographer” of sorts and loved to capture images of her
family, pets and landscapes. Back in the days of film, she had a small darkroom
in her home and processed black and white photographs, really enjoying the challenge and fun of having more control over the outcome. Loretta refers to herself
as a “wannabe” photographer and by taking photography classes at EHOVE and
through the Lorain Arts Council, she has learned to “see” differently through the
lens. Her favorite subjects are flowers, wildlife, local landscapes and catching the
subtle nuances and moods of a scene.

2014 is off to a good start, and it is time for the Annual meeting. Some of the things your membership accomplished in 2013
