By Lisa Yako The constraints of time, place, and events will often define us for good or ill. In the context of farming and life in general, tragedy might destroy or alternately open doors of opportunity. Such was the case for the Bob Jones family. While working and living as a traditional Ohio farming family, tragedy struck in the form of a catastrophic weather event combined with high interest rates. The result was the loss of all the seasons produce and all but a 6-acre plot of land. To have succumb to this random event would have made tragedy complete, but the Jones family redefined themselves and chose opportunity. Their plan to rebuild, however, was not defined immediately, but unfolded slowly. The Jones family began growing high-quality vegetables that were not genetically modified and utilizing sustainable agriculture practices. The truly defining moment in the transition from the near loss of their business and way of life came with meeting Chef Jean Louis Palladin. Palladin, a native of France, had struggled to find fresh ingredients in the industrialized food system of the United States. Upon meeting the Jones family, Palladin challenged them to work with chefs to provide high-quality produce, and he then helped foster these relationships. Hence, in 1983 The Chef s Garden was born. Today, the Jones family farm comprises 300 acres. The Chef s Garden employs around 150 people, and the business serves clients worldwide. Despite their growth, The Chef s Garden has remained a family business. Bob, Sr. oversees the business operation and orchestrates special projects. His son, Lee, focuses on sales and marketing, and son, Bobby, oversees field production. Yet, the Chef s Garden is not your typical farm. Every farming method from germination to harvesting is highly researched and controlled. The only aspect of the farm that cannot be fully controlled is the weather. Every measure, including those that might seem antiquated and newer hightech methods, is taken to ensure a good yield. The
Chef s Garden purchases seeds from about 600 countries, and their products range from kohlrabi to cucamelons to red noodle beans and beyond. In addition, they grow 60 different varieties of herbs and many edible flowers. Ironically, however, each year nearly half of the familys land sits fallow, allowing the soil time for regeneration of nutrients, thus limiting the need for large chemical inputs to maintain production. Though there is a strong push these days to buy local, Lee Jones explains that The Chef s Garden does not get all wrapped up on a 50-mile or 100mile radius, but they continue to foster relationships with chef s that have a similar philosophy about sustainable agriculture and want a nonGMO (genetically modified organic) quality sustainable product. Currently, Chef s Garden produce is shipped to 49 states and 15 countries. In most cases, the produce goes from field to plate within 24 hours. Locally, produce from the Chef s Garden can be enjoyed at Bar North Bistro, Marconis, Zinc Brasserie, Chez Franois, and Bay Harbor. Further, the Chef s Garden has a Community Supported Agriculture program that offers the public the opportunity to buy produce directly from their farm. More information on this program can be found at www.farmerjonesfarm.com. Though the Jones family has found opportunity and success in The Chef s Garden, they never forget their past. The family, especially Bob, Sr., has developed some Jonesisms that sum up what they have learned over the years. One of Bob, Sr.s favorite Jonesisms is The only thing that we are trying to do is become as good a grower as our grandparents were. Lee explains that this saying refers to farming that was pre-chemical, preGMO, pre-synthetic fertilizer and a closer union with working in harmony with nature versus trying to outsmart it. Through all of their ups and downs, the Jones family lives by the motto The race doesnt always go to the fastest man, yet to the man that thinks he can.

Even though there are twenty-three days until the 2012-2013 school year begins the Huron PTO (Parent Teacher Organization) has been planning, developing and working hard to continue the great work from last year. We wanted to make you aware of some of the great things the PTO is doing for our Huron schools and students. Last year, with the wonderful support and generosity of the community, the PTO kicked off the year with the Fall Fundraiser Raffle. The grand prize was an i-Pad for the winning student and the students teacher! Other prizes included cash awards of $300 and $400, gift certificates and great donations from many area businesses. The Raffle Fundraiser was a great success bringing in over $7,000! Great job Huron!! The PTO used those funds to enhance the learning experience at Shawnee, Woodlands and McCormick Schools. Special assemblies were held, like the puppet and magic shows; encouraging students with lessons on anti-bullying, good nutrition, and friendship. In addition to the assemblies the teachers and PTO worked together compiling a long
wish list of items that would help enhance the classrooms at the three schools. After a lot of researching, meetings, communications and ideas, the Huron PTO was able to purchase fourteen i-Pads with charging stations and carts, digital cameras, a new computer, wireless keyboards for each classroom, many, many batteries, industrial pencil sharpeners for each room at Shawnee and Woodlands, and lots and lots of books! Each school year the PTO also hosts the Scholastic Book Fair. The Book Fair is a great opportunity to encourage students to explore the world of reading and finance. The Book Fairs help raise funds that the PTO put right back into the school. The PTO was able to give the libraries $1,000 in books AND fulfilled teacher classroom library book wishes with the monies raised! Last year, with your help, Boxtops for Education presented the Huron PTO with a check for $2,646.40! Students are given collection sheets, turn them in with ten Boxtops taped to each sheet and have the opportunity to win prizes just for collecting the Boxtops. Anyone can participate in collecting and the money really adds
up! Visit www.boxtops4education. com and select Woodlands Elementary School (all three schools Boxtops are bundled under the one name) you will see a complete list of products that have Boxtops and can track how the schools are doing. We are on track to earn over $2,000 again this school year! Coming up this year the PTO will kick off the school year with the Back to School Carnival, and the Fall Raffle Fundraiser. Grand prize of the Raffle is an i-Pad 2 with case! Many other prizes include cash awards, spa treatments, certificates from local eateries, resorts, shop and many more. Look for your favorite student for raffle tickets this September. Scholastic Book fairs, special assemblies, rallies and much more are in the works for this amazing school year. Please visit us on Facebook at Huron PTO or join us at our meetings held the first Wednesday of each month at the Woodlands library. The Huron PTO appreciates the help and support of everyone in our community. We would not be able to help support our students and teachers without you, thank you for your continued support.
PROBATION
Probation is defined as a sentence imposed for a commission of a crime whereby a convicted offender in lieu of incarceration is released into the community under the supervision of a probation officer. Probation is a mechanism to allow an offender an opportunity to prove that he or she can refrain from committing future illegal acts. Additionally, probation also can include the offender attending and completing programs to correct certain behavior. For example, a court as a condition of probation may require the offender to attend drug and alcohol treatment, mental health treatment, anger management or other appropriate programs. There is a wide range of conditions that a court can require an offender to complete during the course of his or her probation term. The goal of probation is to restore the offender to good standing in the community. Offenders in general, must report their progress to the probation officer. Usually, this is done with periodic meetings with the probation officer. Here at the Huron Municipal Court we have developed a probation department. Presently, we have approximately sixty (60) offenders on current active probation under supervision with our probation officer. Many others are on inactive probation, which means that they do not have to periodically meet with the probation officer but must fulfill other conditions placed by the court. Articles appearing in this column are intended to provide broad, general information about the law. Before applying this information to a specific legal problem, readers are urged to seek advice from an attorney.

Serving Our Seniors & Alzheimers Association NW Ohio Reaching Out to Address Memory Loss
Serving Our Seniors is helping The Alzheimers Association, Northwest Ohio Chapter to reach Huron/Huron Twp residents who are experiencing memory loss. Through The Alzheimers Association s, Early-Stage Social Engagement Program, those who have memory impairment can have the quality of their lives enhanced, and can make connections with others to help cope with a diagnosis of early stage Alzheimers Disease or a related dementia. This Social Engagement Program is a fun, safe, and comfortable way for people in the early stage of these diseases to get out, get active, and get connected with like individuals through a variety of activities. The chosen activities are selected by participants, based on the needs and interests of the group. The Alzheimers Association, Early-Stage Social Engagement Program is a grant funded program and the first session runs June through the second week in October. Each activity will be at no, or very low cost. The group started meeting recently and has the following social activities on their agenda: Coffee & dessert at Ryans Restaurant, visiting the Koch House Museum, OVH Military Museum, walking at Lions Park and more. It is not uncommon for individuals who are experiencing memory loss problems or who have received a diagnosis of Alzheimers disease or a related dementia, to withdraw(al) from activity and experience social isolation. Staying active, building support, and remaining an active member of society enhances not only the lives of individuals who are experiencing memory loss, but the community as a whole stated Beth Wong, a social worker with the agency. Call Brenda Hendricks or Beth Wong at the Alzheimers Association, 1-800-2723900 for more information.

Schools
Ready to start again
Its that time of year already. School is just around the corner. Almost 700 students throughout Erie, Huron and Ottawa Counties were at EHOVE on July 17 and 18 to register for the new school year. They did the usual things, like updating contact information and getting their schedules, but they also had a chance to do a little more. Students had the opportunity to meet teachers, see classrooms, speak with guidance counselors and find out more about work-based learning opportunities available to them. Morgan Berger (Sandusky HS) and Caitlyn Dickey (Vermilion HS) are new students at EHOVE. I choose EHOVE to get ahead in school, said Berger. I enrolled in the Visual Media Tech Program to help me figure out what I want to have as my major for college. It will really help guide me in my decisions. I choose EHOVE to get several credits for college and to work on my pre-requisites, said Dickey, who be in the Teacher Academy program. Returning student Matt Rigsby (Vermilion HS) is a senior this year at EHOVE and is in the Computer Network Tech Program. I am definitely excited to begin another year at EHOVE, said Rigsby. I cant wait to see all the kids in class again, and my instructors make me laugh, which is a good motivator, plus earning more college credits while Im there. Both seniors have different plans after graduating from EHOVE. Rigsby plans on attending college at BGSU and focusing on his career after graduation. Shanks plans on attending EHOVE Adult Education.

In order to earn the Statesmans Award, students participated in SkillsUSA leadership and competitive events sponsored in part by the Ohio Army National Guard and Hocking College. On July 18, the students joined the Glouster Volunteers, a group of residents of this once-thriving coal-mining town, who are working to spruce up the community and literally paint the town. Founder Jim Cotter, 81, started the painting project to alleviate his grief following the death of his wife last year. He wanted to occupy his mind and his time by working to improve his community. The project was sponsored in part by the Wooster Paint Brush Company, Hocking . Athens . Perry Community Action, Bercom Inc., Hocking College, Tri-County Career Center and Nelsonville Krogers. It was a great experience learning leadership roles, said Forensic Science student Brandon Calvert (Vermilion HS). Helping out the community was the greatest feeling. It was unbelievable to see all the hearts warmed by the SkillsUSA campers cleaning up the community and painting the houses. Students also worked on community service projects like landscaping, light construction, cleanups and painting projects sponsored in part by Toolbox for Education grants from Lowes Charitable and Educational Foundation. SkillsUSA is a partnership of students, teachers and industry working together to ensure America has a skilled workforce. The Ohio chapter provides its 31,500+ career-technical education members, which includes many EHOVE students, the opportunity to participate in local, regional, state and national competitive events, and encourages students to give back to the community through various community service activities.
