ASHTABULA - Buildings with
newly painted red doors line a portion of Main Avenue in the City of
Ashtabula - all looking for artists
and other creative people to call
them home.
This stretch of buildings from
4626 Main Ave. down to the corner
of West 46th Street (not including
Dublin Down Pub) make up what
developers are calling the “Red
Door Corridor.”

The festival offered plenty of

and review a pair of items in a rather brief meeting.
Amanda White represented the city’s zoning department and gave a precis department’s activities
and plans for the coming summer season – highlighting in particular the improvements in efficiency
resulting from a recent software upgrade.
“We’re looking at migration and implementation of

AUSTINBURG TOWNSHIP The First United Church of Christ
in Austinburg officials and parishioners are asking for the community’s support in raising funds to
repair the church’s steeple.
“We found out last year that it
was deteriorating up top,” Kanda
O’Dell said.
The First United Church of
Christ in Austinburg was formed
by the founding fathers of Austinburg in 1801 and was the first
church organized in the Connecticut Western Reserve. The church
itself, located at 2870 Route 307,
was built in 1875-76 and the steeple has since served as a landmark
and symbol of hope in the rural
landscape.

City of Ashtabula’s
curbside recycling
program awaits hauler
BY GABRIEL McVEY
Gazette Newspapers
ASHTABULA – The City of
Ashtabula’s long-awaited curbside
recycling program is ready to go
and the last step before hauling
can begin is for the Ashtabula
County Solid Waste Management
District to contract a hauler to
carry recyclables, according to City
Manager James Timonere.
“There’s not really a holdup,”
Timonere said. “It’s really just the
last step in the red tape of government.”
The City of Ashtabula has everything in place for its curbside recycling program and the county has
established pickup points as well,
according to Timonere. As part of
the stipulations for the city-county
partnership, the county simply has
to contract with a hauling service to
carry the materials from collection
points to a depot where they will be
sorted and processed.
“This is the last step and we’re
waiting for it to fall into place,”
Timonere said. “We have the

The Rock Creek Veterans of Foreign Wars, neighboring fire departments, baton groups, tractors and more all
participated in the parade on Saturday, which also saw the
naming of the Citizen of the Year.
Joe Blaha was named this year’s Citizen of the Year because of his work throughout the village, including helping
to build a chapel at Union Cemetery.
Additionally, Capt. Eric Goodge was named the fire department’s Officer of the Year, with Bryan Ledford being
named the Firefighter of the Year.
The ox roast event provides much-needed funding for
the Morgan Hose Volunteer Fire Department. Proceeds are
used for firefighter recruitment, training and equipment
that protect and save the lives and property of residents of
Morgan Township and its surrounding communities.
The crowd begins lining up to watch the parade at the Morgan Hose Ox Roast.

Vandalism forces closure of
restrooms at Giddings Park
BY STEFANIE WESSELL
Gazette Newspapers
JEFFERSON - Repeated vandalism has forced the closure of the
restrooms at the Giddings Park
playground.
“Not only were there stones in the
toilets, but there were things on the
wall,” Mayor Judy Maloney said.
Maloney said village workers had
to power wash the walls.
Because of the vandalism, the restrooms will only be unlocked during
special events. For the other times,
a port-a-potty was placed at the park
for day-to-day use.
“It had been locked at night. It was
happening prior to it being locked,”
Maloney said of the vandalism.
Although there was a camera at
the park in the past, it has not functioned since the police department
move. The village has plans to run
wires from the camera to the new
police department to get it working
again.
In other village news, Village
Administrator Terry Finger said the
community center now has four part-
time, front-desk employees.
“This number of employees will allow the scheduling flexibility we need
to cover the hours without increasing
the budget,” Finger said.
Finger said there are plans to
increase the Monday to Thursday
closing time from p.m. to 8 p.m. as
soon as the staff is properly trained.
Additionally, Finger said the
roof at the community center was
repaired.
“There have been no reported
leaks for two weeks,” Finger said.

RED DOOR
Developer Tony Cantagallo and a silent partner
own the buildings and have
hopes to turn the first floor
of the buildings into shops,
with the second floor being
transformed into a complex
of artist studios.
The Cantagallo name
may be familiar because
of his stint as a former
Ashtabula city manager,
but Cantagallo also spent
decades working to revitalize
downtown areas in Dayton,
Cincinatti, Toledo and more
as an employee of contractor
John W. Galbreath.
“This is in the middle of
Main Avenue, in downtown
Ashtabula. The purpose of
the whole thing is the rehabilitation of the block,”
Cantagallo said.
Work already is underway to rehabilitate the nine
buildings on Main Avenue.
New coats of paint are going
on the outside - with Cantagallo painting the buildings
himself - and work inside
is turning the shops, offices
and apartments into usable
space. When Sherwin-Williams heard of Cantagallo’s
plans, they donated 30 gallons of paint in colors popular during the turn of the
century - including the red
for the doors.
“They built nine buildings and then they enclosed
them with one brick wall, so
it looks like one building,”
Cantagallo said.
Each of the buildings, located near a parking garage
and other public lots, has
its own basement and second floor. The first building,
which is next to the walkway
just past the green space next
to Dublin Down Pub, is in
talks to become an antique
furniture shop, Cantagallo
said. The walkway wraps
around the back of the buildings and up along West 46th
Street, creating the corridor.
Plans haven’t been determined yet for the second
building, on the other side of
Dublin Down, but the third
building will be transformed
into an art gallery where
artists renting the upstairs
artists’ studios (more on that
later) can sell their works.
Next is Styles by Ken &
Co., which has been in business for 30 years under Ken
Vanek, who still uses the
old-style way of barbering
with scissors instead of clippers (“We’re a dying breed,”
Vanek said).
The fifth building is in
talks of becoming a bakery.
No plans are set yet for the
buildings down West 46th
Street, but Cantagallo has
hopes of them becoming
shops as well - perhaps a

bookstore, jewelry shop or
other places that will bring
more activity to Main Avenue.
“We’re looking for tenants
right now…Activity breeds
activity,” Cantagallo said,
highlighting Dublin Down
Pub and the True Til Death
Tattoo Company down the
street as recent success stories on Main Avenue.
While shops will fill the
first-floor spots, Cantagallo
also has ambitious plans for
the second floor - plans to
create an artists’ haven.
Three apartments are located on the second floor, including a studio apartment,
a one-bedroom apartment
and a spacious two-bedroom
apartment. Those will be
rented out.
But also on the second
floor are more than a dozen
offices leftover from the Barsky Law Firm that occupied
the space 25 years ago.
The offices range in size
from 600 to 800 square feet,
with high ceilings and cherry
paneling along the walls.
“I’m going to rent each
one of these rooms as artist
studios,” Cantagallo said.
“The artists will be able to
have access to them 24 hours
a day.”
In order to bring the artists to Main Avenue, Cantagallo is renting the studio
spaces for a mere $150 a
month - all with the electricity, water and heating utili-

ties paid.
“The one thing I learned
is, when you try to turn a
bad neighbored into a good
neighborhood, you turn to
art,” Cantagallo said.
Cantagallo said the idea
for artist studios came about
after a visit to Beaufort,
South Carolina, two years
ago.
“I came across a building
just like this one,” Cantagallo
said.
And in that building were
18 artists studios, as well
as an art gallery where the
artists could sell their work.
Cantagallo wants to bring
that to Ashtabula.
Cantagallo believes the
artists can find success on
Main Avenue, all while helping with the revitalization of
the area.
“Ashtabula has lost a huge
amount of retail,” Cantagallo
said. “What we’re going to
do is look for these kinds of
small shops that we lost.”
Cantagallo believes the
Red Door Corridor has

JEFFERSON - Tearing
down a farm building can
be a sad occasion, but when
reclaimed barn artists get
their hands on the wood,
new life is given to the
boards and a work of art
takes shape. When artists take those works and
put them on old buildings,
those structures have new
purpose and life.
When wooden barn
quilts were introduced
into our county, the idea
took off like wildfire. Beautiful patterns with their
wonderful kaleidoscope
of colors now grace our
countryside and hang on
barns, outbuildings and
historic structures. The
creations are also created
for private homes. Some
of the creations are done
in family interests, businesses, crests and sports
interests.
During Jefferson Days,
on Saturday, June 18,
from 9 a.m. - 3 p.m., an
art show displaying barn
quilts, barn art pictures
and quilts will be shown
inside the Jefferson Historical Society building at
42 East Jefferson Street.
Some barn quilts, size 2’
X 2’, and barn art pictures
will be for sale.
Barn art is comprised
of thin strips of reclaimed

Tabor for the Jefferson Historical Society building. It is on

shown inside during Jefferson Village Day.
barn wood, stained or left
natural, and placed in
unique designs within a
barn wood frame. Several
of the art pieces will be on
display and for sale. They
are intended for indoor use
and range in sizes, 2’ x 9”
to 2’ x 12”.
Chris Angerman, a Barn
Quilt Trail coordinator,
will be on hand to talk
about the barn quilts and
the trail and to answer
questions. Three or more
artists and creators will
also be on hand. The society building will be filled
with actual cloth quilts
more than 100 years old.
A dedication of the barn
quilt outside of the Historical Society will take place
at 1 p.m.

Council authorizes
WWTP upgrade
project
Proposed pay
changes for Roaming
Shores Village
council spur debate

JEFFERSON - Jefferson
Village Council approved a
resolution authorizing a cooperative agreement for the
construction of a wastewater
treatment plant ultra-violet
disinfection lighting upgrade
project between the Village
of Jefferson and the Ohio
Water Development Authority during its meeting on
Monday, June 6.
Village Administrator
Terry Finger wrote in his
report that the village has
been approved for an OWDA
loan to cover the village’s
part of the project, so council
needed to approve an ordinance for the loan.
“This action will enable
us to complete the sludge
pumps and valves project
[(Ohio Public Works Commission) Round 30] this year
also,” Finger said.
Finger said the UV project material is ordered, with
the UV unit having a six- to
eight-week lead time.
In other news, Finger
said the Kabota tractor’s
transmission is leaking oil.
“This unit is on the wish
list for replacement,” Finger said. “We will compare
repair versus replacement
costs to make a long-term
best decision.”
Lastly, Finger said design
work to build a coveredbridge style pavilion at Giddings Park is underway. The
goal is to have it finished by
the 2016 Covered Bridged
Festival.
ROAMING SHORES – A
proposal to increase pay for
mayor, president pro tempore and council members in
Roaming Shores Village was
discussed in council session
May 17, where the matter
was set aside after debate
between council members.
“I’m totally against it,”
Roaming Shores Village
Council Member Robert
Cook said. “Now that we
have the police levy and the
pressure is off of the general
fund, they want to use that
for a pay raise.”
Council Member Edward
Koziol said the rates of pay
for elected officials were
higher in surrounding communities.
“We were comparing other municipalities and what
their council and mayor
were compensated,” Koziol
said. “We looked at Orwell,
Geneva-on-the-Lake, and
places like that. Either way
at this point I think we need
to continue looking at it.”
Cook raised a point claiming Roaming Shores is not
like other communities in
Ashtabula County.
“This is a small community – always has been,”
Cook said. “When this community started it was based
on volunteers. The tradition
here since the beginning has
been volunteers.”
During the May 17th
meeting, the potential pay
raise was discussed but no
vote was taken and the mat-
ter was tabled.
“The discussion was just
to get an idea of how council
felt about it,” Cook said. “If
we’d been against it, it would
have dropped.”
Koziol said the matter
would likely be taken up
again.
“We’ll be looking a little
more closely at our next
workshop next Tuesday,”
Koziol said. “Whatever we
decide there, we can’t act on
anything next until our next
meeting.”
Cook said the proposed
raise for mayor would be
from its current rate of $80
a month to $500, president
pro tempore would change
from $80 to $275 and council members would increase
from $60 to $250 a month.
“This was not mentioned,
but the pay increase percentwise would be quite high, but
right now it’s $60 a month,”
Koziol said. “No one would
be eligible if it passed unless they got re-elected or a
new person got elected, so
it wouldn’t take effect until
after the next election cycle.”
A previous story on the
May 17th Roaming Shores
Village Council meeting
that ran in the Shores News
incorrectly gave positions in
this debate to members of
council they did not or did
not necessarily have and
gave positions on the debate
as votes cast when this did
not occur. It also gave pay
rate changes as percentages
that were not precise. This
is a regrettable error, and
we apologize for the mistake.

Lighthouse Harvest Foundation receives grant
ASHTABULA - Lighthouse
Harvest Foundation, 2710 State
Road, Ashtabula, received a
$1,000 award through the efforts
of Ducro Funeral Services and
Crematory as a grant from the
Matthew’s Children’s Foundation. This was the first time
Lighthouse Harvest Foundation
has received a Matthew’s grant.
The Lighthouse Harvest
Foundation plays a critical role
in helping the less fortunate
children of our community. This
past year they distributed 1500
back pack bunch lunches each
month, including delivery of 365
lunches to three Ashtabula Area
City Schools elementary buildings that serve grades K-3 and 10
lunches to Lakeside Junior High.
These lunches were delivered
each Friday and were used by
these children to feed them for
the weekend.
For those wanting to learn
more about Lighthouse Harvest
Foundation, call 998-7813 or
email lighthouseharvest@yahoo.
com.
According to J.P. Ducro IV,
“We are grateful that Matthews
(formerly the York Children’s
Foundation) has honored an-
other Ashtabula County entity
with a grant through our funeral
home. Past recipients on numerous occasions have included
Big Brothers/Big Sisters, After
School Discovery, SpiderWeb,
and GO Community Development Association. We are so
pleased to help bring assistance
to these fine organizations. They
help develop our future leaders.”

will be busy this Saturday,
as they prepare strawberry
shortcake and other strawberry treats.
The church’s annual
Strawberry Festival will be
held from 4-7 p.m. Saturday,

feature strawberry items
such as pies, shortcakes,
chocolate-covered strawberries and more. Other food also
will be for sale, including hot
dogs, Italian sausage, baked
beans, potato salad and more.
The items are fresh and
homemade, volunteer Earline Stiltner said.
“Come join us for this

The First United Church of Christ in Austinburg was built
in 1875-76.
O’Dell said the church
has been awarded $35,000
in grants for the project,
including $25,000 from the
Ashtabula Foundation. However, the church is still in
need of about $50,000 to cover
the repairs.
“We want to repair it,”
O’Dell said. “To tear it down
is as much of a cost to repair
it, and since it’s a historical building, we’re trying to
save it.”
There is peeling paint and
loose plaster in the front entrance way and deteriorated
bricks at the main entrance,
but those are just signs of a
much larger problem up in
the steeple.
“At the base of the steeple
is a built-in copper gutter and
unbeknown to us it has been
leaking and water has been
coming down in between the
bricks,” church officials said.
“There is some significant
masonry damage at the base
of the steeple due to freezing
and thawing. The copper gutter needs to be replaced and
also some rotted wood gutter
replaced. Because this damage is so high up in the air, it
will be costly to repair.”
The project is too big for
the church to handle on its
own, so they are asking for
donations, O’Dell said.
People interested in donating may visit the Go-
Donations so far.

JEFFERSON - It is that time again when kids are out of
school with time on their hands! Take advantage of a great
opportunity to use up their energy while learning about the
weather and the some great truths on the subject from the
Bible.
Wednesday Wonders Kids Day Camp is ready to begin with
a great month of looking at the weather by making weather
related take home projects, participate in weather related
experiments and sports, and discovering how weather affects
many our moods, jobs, and attitudes.
Every Wednesday in July, kids ages 5-11 will look at
different weather conditions and see that God is in control
of all of them. “Grab Your Umbrella” will be the theme of
Wednesday, July 6, as day campers will learn that God is
the rain, wind, lightning and thunder. Special presenter will
be Chris Kettanen, a pilot, who will share how the weather
affects flying. Kettanen is also the director of nursing at the
Ashtabula County Health Department.
Wednesday, July 13, will hear sounds of “Crash! Bang!
Boom! “as kids learn that God is in control of earthquakes.
On hand will be a veterinarian who will bring dogs and thunder vests used to comfort animals that become very nervous
during loud thunder.
Wednesday, July 20, “Wild Weather” will be presented
with a study of unusual weather. Special presenter will be
Abbey Averill, program assistant for the Ohio Extension
Department. Averill will demonstrate through experiments
and visuals different atmosphere changes and how they can
create wild weather.
“All Steamed Up” on the last Wednesday, July 27, will
see kids learning about the seasons. Special presenters from
occupations affected by the season changes will be on hand.
Registration is open to kids, ages 5-11, kindergarten
through fifth grade and is open to everyone in the community.
Camp will be held at the new facility of Bethel Bible Church,
88 East Beech Street, Jefferson, Ohio, across from the Jefferson Rehabilitation Center.
Hours of the Day Camp are 9 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. and include Lessons on weather and how God controls the weather,
music, DVD weather shows, weather crafts, sports and a hot
meal. There is no cost to the camp, but registration is highly
recommended. A full staff of volunteers will guide your child
through the sessions but parents, grandparents or guardians
are invited to stay through the camp sessions and work with
their child.
We request that children must be five years of age to attend
as a guest or participant. Please call the office at 576-5949 or
576-9691 to register or stop by the office, Tuesday through
Friday, 877 East Beech Street, Jefferson, 9 a.m. - 12 p.m. to
pick up a registration form.

Jefferson Area Education Foundation and
Alumni Association announce changes
JEFFERSON - The Jefferson Area
Education Foundation (JAEF) and Alumni
Association are adjusting the format of
the organization. The three main events
this organization sponsors are: 1) Annual
Scholarships for Jefferson graduates, 2)
selection of an alumnus as the annual
Hall of Fame Inductee presented at the
Homecoming game, and 3) the Alumni
Summer Banquet.
Due to declining attendance at the
summer banquet and lack of members interested in assisting in that endeavor, the
banquet will no longer be held. Additionally, many class groups are having lunches
throughout the year and social media has
made it easier to network with classmates
at various times. Increased costs for the
Alumni Banquet no longer makes it feasible to collect enough money for this to be
a fundraiser for the scholarships.
Funds held by the group will be put
into an account at the Jefferson Area Local
Schools and be used for the Scholarships
and the award plaque for the Hall of
Fame Inductee. Any donations for those
two purposes will be gladly received with
checks made out to Jefferson Area Local
Schools with the notation that it is for the
JAEF/Alumni. The scholarships are very
helpful to Jefferson graduates and the Hall
of Fame Honor is indeed worth maintaining. The group desires to see these two

Education
Students learn about how animals pollinate flowers
JEFFERSON/ROCK CREEK - For their unit on animals,
the Christine Kovacs’ Gifted Reading Classes at Jefferson
and Rock Creek Elementary Schools learned about how
animals pollinate flowers.
“We watched a Disney nature movie called Wings of
Life. One of the parts the kids found the most interesting
was when an orchid bee, in the process of mixing his own
perfume from orchids, falls into the sticky liquid of a bucket
orchid. There is only one way out, so the bee swims to the
exit,” Kovacs said. “But, the flower squeezes him tightly
while pods are glued to his back. He is held for up to an hour
while they dry. When the flower lets the bee go, it heads
to another bucket orchid, falls in again and the pods come
off. This is how the flower is pollinated.”
Another part that caught their attention was all about
hummingbirds.
“I decided to make some of our own-to brighten up our
classroom. The kids each tried to follow the direction to
make their balloon animal hummingbird, and a tissue
paper flower. The balloons popping made for a loud day!
We all gained a new respect for clowns,” Kovacs said. “A
conversation that was sparked by this movie was very
interesting. Have we, as humans manipulated plants to
use them as we need them? Or, have they employed us to
take care of them?”
Pictured are Rock Creek fourth- and fifth-graders Ben Cleveland, Sakora Caudell, Zoey Hill-Braden, Adrianna
Brass, Mallory Ellefsen, Kaylee Dietrich, Maggie Dolezal, Bella Brecker, Avery Nank, Sam Wright, Sadie Funtash,

Scott Plescia
Rebecca Blenman
SAYBROOK TOWNSHIP - Sister Maureen Burke,
president of Saint John School, recently announced the
appointment of the principal of Saint John School.
Mr. Scott Plescia has accepted the position and will begin
his position on July 1, 2016.
At the same time, Burke announced the hiring of Rebecca Blenman as the assistant principal for the 2016-17
school year.
Plescia will assume the position held by Nick Perkoski
since 2012. Perkoski is leaving Saint John to assume the
position of Director of Religious Education at Corpus Christi
Parish in Conneaut.
Plescia has a Master of Arts Degree from Ursuline College in Educational Administration and a BA in Philosophy
and Theology from Franciscan University of Steubenville.
Plescia has taught at Trinity High School in Garfield

chair of the Ohio Catholic Schools Accreditation Committee
and Theology Department. He has also been the Campus
Minister at the school.
Plescia states, “My service at Trinity has provided me
with a vast array of leadership opportunities that have
prepared me for an administrative position at Saint John.
Additionally, my experience has provided me with opportunities to support the spiritual formation and academic
achievement of all students. I look forward to sharing my
gifts and working with the faculty and staff, students and
parents at Saint John School.”
Blenman has been a faculty member at Saint John since
2013. Blenman has prior experience at both the elementary and high school level and has her Masters in Special
Education. As the Assistant principal, Blenman will focus
on student life and curriculum at the elementary level.
Blenman sees this as an “Opportunity to make a different
type of impact for the Herald community. I will miss my
interactions in the classroom with students, but will have
the chance to work with faculty, staff and parents as well
as students. I am excited to join the administrative team
of the school and continue the Herald legacy.”

Paving project
underway in Jefferson
PHOTO BY STEFANIE WESSELL
A paving project through the Ohio Department of
Transportation began this week on Chestnut Street in the
Village of Jefferson. The paving project is ongoing on State
Routes 46 and 307 in the Village of Jefferson and Jefferson,
Plymouth, Austinburg and Harpersfield townships. The
work is part of a $2.2 million project to resurface SR 46
between the southern Village of Jefferson corporation
limit and SR 11 and on SR 307 between SR 534 and SR 46.
The project also includes bridge repairs on SR 307. The
entire project is scheduled to be completed by late July
2016, according to the Ohio Department of Transportation.

ZONING
of the fire department, we’re going to
have help with rental inspections. It’s
a real boon to finding violations and
improving housing stock in the city.
We’re going to go through records of
our rentals and we’ll definitely have
more rentals than we have registered.
So we’re focusing on getting those
recorded and get those inspections.”
White said the zoning department
will also be focusing on violations – in
particular inoperable and junk vehicles on properties in the city.
Two representatives from Youth
Engaged in Learning Leadership
(Y.E.L.L.) – T.J. Showman and Brandon Cloos – gave a presentation during
the first citizens’ comments section of
the meeting on their findings after taking water samples from Cowles Creek
to discover its pollution levels.
The boys found ammoniac nitrogen levels at Geneva State Park
they deemed “concerning,” as well as
trash littering the creek throughout
its length in Geneva. They recommended the reinstitution of the Clean
and Green Committee which was
disbanded in 1995 to focus on cleanup
efforts throughout the city but Cowles
Creek in particular.
An ordinance amending Geneva’s
budget passed unanimously. Fiscal
Director Traci Welch said the changes
to the budget were due in part to software upgrades in her department as
well as unforeseen events necessitating transfers and appropriations to
balance the city’s books.
“In a nutshell, I did not have all the
pieces I needed to make sure everything was budgeted for,” Welch said.
“We need it.”
Wastewater Superintendent Gary
Hydinger, filling in for City Manager
Doug Starkey, who was away, gave the
City Manager’s Report – giving particular emphasis to the excessive wear
and damage done to the city’s waste
water treatment plant by disposable
or flushable wipes that residents put
down the toilet, but play havoc with
treatment equipment at the plant.
“We’re having to spend $75,000
to prematurely clean a digester that
we should have another three to four
years on,” Hydinger said. “We’re also
having to spend $80,000 on pumps because of these disposable wipes. If you
watch TV, you can flush a bag of dog
food, you can flush a dozen golf balls
– that doesn’t mean that’s where it
goes. These wipes belong in the trash.”

ASHTABULA – B.J. Baker
Bicycle Sales and Service has
been an Ashtabula fixture at
966 W. Prospect Rd. since it
moved there in 1970 and Bernie Baker has been running it
there for just as long – providing new bicycles from a wide
array of lines, providing parts
and accessories and servicing
customers’ bicycles before
and during the summer biking season.
“We pretty much take
care of bikes that are sold
anywhere and everywhere,”
Baker said. “Anybody who
comes in, we give them a
free estimate – what it’d run
to fix it and if they decide to,
we can fix it up usually in a
couple days.”
The business began in 1949
when Baker’s father moved to
Ashtabula from Pennsylvania
and took over an existing
bicycle shop, beginning a
family tradition of selling
and servicing Ashtabula’s
bicycles that continues to the
present day.
“We carry Schwinn, Mongoose, GT Bicycles, Sun Bicycles
and Iron Horse,” Baker said.
“We’re a family-oriented bicycle shop, so we carry the
small kids’ bikes through the
adult bikes and we have road
bikes, comfort bikes, the mountain bikes and fat tire bikes
– we even have tricycles for the
young kids.”
Baker said the “fat-tire”
models are a recent innovation to the classic beach
cruiser that’s proven to be an
effective and popular off-road
model and also better able
than conventional mountain
bikes at navigating snowy
conditions – something any
Northeast Ohio bicyclist can
attest is a bonus feature.
“The fat tire bikes started
out as a single speed to ride
on the beach and that went
over pretty good,” Baker said.
“Now they found out they
can ride them off road in the
mud – kind of an all-terrain
bicycle.”
Another popular model
for bicyclists in Ashtabula
County is the recumbent –
something Baker said is easily
available through the Sun line
of bikes.
“We sell recumbent bikes –
we have a complete line that’s
available in a couple days,”
Baker said. “If we don’t have
what you’re looking for, it
only takes a couple days to
get it.”
Baker’s shop is usually
busy with repair work as well
as sales, and he keeps busy
with accessories and parts as
well for riders who want to do
their own repair work.
“We do service on any
brand of bike and we also
offer over-the-counter parts,”
Baker said. “So if someone
wants to do their own repairs
and they need bearings or
wheels or tire or tubes or
whatever. Occasionally we do
used bikes, but mostly new
and mostly repair work.”
The shop is more than bicycles, Baker is quick to point out
– children’s pedal cars, Baker’s
original paintings and prints
and something new for Baker:
a large collection of collectible
die-cast model cars.
“I bought collections and
so we have quite a variety –
over 400 pieces,” Baker said.
The nice thing is by selling
them as pre-owned out of
collections is, a lot of times
we’re selling them for a lot
less than they might have
been. A lot of them are in
perfect condition.”
