Kitchen fires in Willard prompt safety reminders and Rotary day
The Willard Fire Department logged two kitchen fires this January with no serious injuries. One on Washington Street started by an unattended oven, triggering smoke but no flames, while a January 24 incident on North Street involved unattended stovetop cooking and a vent hood fire. Firefighters evacuated, used extinguishers, and noted no electrical issues. Chief Reiderman urged residents to stay with cooking, shut off appliances afterward, and follow heater safety this winter. Rotary Club of Willard is celebrated with a proclamation declaring January 26, 2013 as The Rotary Club of Willard Day, honoring its 75 years of service to the community and region.

Willard and Huron County ties shape 1958 district reforms
In mid January 1958 the Huron County Board of Education formed Huron Valley School District merging Greenwich Richmond and New Haven with a five member board led by Neil Slessman as president. Richmond and New Haven petition talks stirred merger rumors with Willard as Willard endured major snowstorms, relief hubs, and a bold daylight pharmacy robbery at Blocker's Pharmacy where two men looted narcotics but no cash. The piece reflects Willard’s ongoing civic challenges and community resilience.
