Seiberling Building Demolished
When was the last time you could stand in the rear parking lot, behind
the old Seiberling School building, and see Reservoir Park?
Probably not since the building was first constructed in 1921.
Now that the building has been demolished, that view exists.
Construction crews are currently leveling the ground and plotting
the new Seiberling Community Learning Center.

Derek Wyatt Remembered
Memorial placed at Reservior Park
A boulder that for nearly 90 years marked an ancient American Indian walkway on Perkins
Park Dr. is now going to be used to tell future generations about a fallen Marine who
played baseball at Reservoir Park.
The park is where Marine Cpl. Derek Wyatt played when he attended East High School.
The ball field was dedicated to the Marine on Sept. 11. The boulder was moved to
the park on Nov. 3.
A new plaque will be placed on the boulder dedicating the field to the Marine and former
All-City second baseman on the East High School baseball team.
Wyatt, 25, was killed in combat in Afghanistan Dec. 6, 2010, one day before his wife Kait Wyatt,
a Marine veteran, gave birth to the couple's first child, Michael.
( Here
is the article appearing in the Akron Beacon Journal.)
Deputy Mayor Dave Leiberth holds a replica of the future plaque to be placed on the boulder
moved to Reservoir Park to commemorate Marine Cpl. Derek Wyatt.

David Hill Joins East Cluster
Barber, Seiberling boundaries change
David Hill Community Learning Center will become part of the East Cluster.
The school, located at 1060 E. Archwood Ave., has in the past straddled the borders of both
the East and Garfield clusters.
To avoid confusion parents have had about where their children will attend middle and high
schools, the Akron School Board has redrawn boundaries in the following manner:
- Students living east of S. Arlington St. will attend David Hill and be part of
the East Cluster
- Students living west of S. Arlington St. will be assigned to Barrett Elementary
and be part of the Garfield Cluster.
In another Board ruling affecting the East Cluster, in areas where Barber and Seiberling
boundaries overlap, those students will be assigned to Barber.
These changes will be in effective beginning with the 2011-12 school.

A Better
Example
There is a lot of talk in popular culture today about role models. There are
also some very questionable choices offered as examples. Here is a better example.
Akron Municipal Court Judge Annalisa Williams served as Akron's Asst. Law Director
and as a Domestic Relations Court Referee before being elected to the bench in 2003.
She was re-elected in 2007 and most recently in 2011.

The Akron Public Schools are divided into seven neighborhood groups or clusters
— each headed by the high school located within that cluster. The rest of
the cluster is made up of the middle school that feeds into that high school and the
various elementary schools that feed into that middle school. The clusters were
formed to increase community identity within a large school system.
