“…if we accept that a mother can kill even her own child, how can we tell other people not to kill one another?”
Saint Teresa of Calcutta (Mother Teresa)
Life is a Gift
Our Nation was founded on the principle that each human life is a gift given by our Creator God. Each one of us is valuable beyond
measure and is endowed with rights, specifically because God has poured His creative genius into making each one of us. We can rejoice
that each of us is unique and unrepeatable. We are wonderfully made to know and to love God and each other. And in God’s plan, a
husband and wife are given the awesome privilege of co-creating, with God, a brand new human life.
January 22 – A tragic anniversary for our nation
On that day in 1973, the U.S. Supreme Court took away the right to life of unborn children. Instead of protecting life, the Court made it
the role of government to protect killing. The Court ignored science and instead declared American children before birth -- living human
beings -- to be less than human.
For 48 years, our Nation’s laws have ignored the scientific truth that our unborn
brothers and sisters are, in fact, fully human, fully alive, and that they possess an
unalienable right to life.
Every one of us began our lives as a single cell, smaller than a grain of sugar, but with
all our traits already determined: boy or girl, eye color, hair color, and even our dimples!
By day 21, our hearts were circulating our own blood. At 40 days, our brain waves 8 weeks
could be detected.
By 8 weeks, every organ was present, and our
liver and kidneys were functioning.
At 4 months, we could suck our thumb, turn
somersaults, and we could feel pain.
16 weeks
From that point forward, we have simply grown up!
20 weeks
Every day, the abortion industry kills thousands of American babies
by surgically ripping them from the safety and warmth of their mothers’ wombs. (see abortionprocedures.com)
Thousands more are killed by birth control chemicals and devices and so-called “emergency contraception” – all of
which can cause early abortions (see LorainCountyRighttoLife.org/ChemicalAbortion).

Abortion pits a mother against the life of her child. But we can love and care for both mother and child, even in difficult
circumstances. If you’re pregnant and need help – you are not alone! To find a nearby pregnancy help center, visit
optionline.org or birthright.org or call 1-800-712-4357. If you’ve been involved with abortion, hope and healing are
available. Visit hopeafterabortion.com or call 888-456-HOPE (4673).

Story and photo by Jim Jablonski
COVID-19 has disrupted all of our lives. For many, that means no
sports or fun nights out. But for others, including the Ballard family
of Lorain, it means so much more.
In his 80 years, Clarence Ballard never spent a day in the hospital
— until he got COVID-19. “Then things went bad fast,” says his son,
Mark Ballard, a business leader and president of the Lorain City
School Board.
Mark will never forget driving his dad to the hospital. “He thanked me
for being a good son and apologized for catching the virus. He
said he wished he’d listened to me and been more careful.”
Clarence passed away May 3. As we enter the holiday
season, Mark has a message for all of us:
The COVID-19 vaccine is coming. Soon enough, we
will be able to gather and get together as much as
we’d like. We will be able to shake hands and hug.
Wear your mask and social distance so that those
you love are healthy and here when that glorious
day comes. #StayStrong #MyCovidStory

Happy New Year - Welcome 2021! I hope you all had a rest-
ful and safe winter break. Please continue wearing your masks,
practicing social distancing and limit gatherings.
We began 2021 in our Hybrid model and it has been nice to
see our students and staff off to a great start and engaging both
in-person and at home.
January is School Board Recognition Month. Our Board of
Education works hard all year to serve our students/staff and
keep our district strong. Thank you Brett Murner (President),
Penny McClaflin (Vice President), Ayers Ratliff, Jessica Reyn-
olds and Kevin Stump for all you do.
A special Board of Education Work Session will be held
via Zoom at 6 p.m. on Jan. 13 to discuss and amend the Safe
School ReStart Plan for the 3rd Quarter. Information to attend
via Zoom is posted on the district website and district Facebook
page.
I have some good news to share from our district treasurer,
Mark Donnelly. The Treasurer’s office has been working with
the Underwriter and Bond Counsel to prepare a Preliminary
Official Statement, which provides potential investors (bond
purchasers) a wide variety of information about our school
district and the Wellington community. It has taken a while to
compile all of this data and we are now preparing for the rating
call with a rating service such as Moody’s. Once our bond
rating has been determined, we can go to market in a relatively
short period of time.
One of the strategies we will be using to maximize the sav-
ings for the taxpayers is to issue Bank Qualified Bonds, which
makes our bonds more attractive to more potential customers,
which will lower the interest rate we have to pay. It will mean
that a small portion of the old bonds will not be called and we
will continue to pay them off over the next four years. The bot-
tom line is that we can save additional dollars for the taxpayers
with this strategy. Until we actually go to market and sell the
bonds, the savings are simply an estimate. However, the esti-
mated savings for our community is $2.8 million between now
and 2048, when the last payment is made.
Good luck to our winter sports student athletes as they con-
tinue their seasons in the New Year. Go Dukes!
