Tall Ships sailing into Fairport Harbor July 7-10
BY GLEN MILLER
Gazette Newspapers
FAIRPORT HARBOR Fairport Harbor Village and
Fairport Harbor Heritage
Foundation officials are
hoping the launch of the
Tall Ships Challenge from
Thursday, July 7, through
Sunday, July 10, will become
a permanent summertime
tradition for the small Lake
County community.
The popular Tall Ships
sail-in has been hosted by
Cleveland every three years
since 2001, but this year it is
being relocated to Fairport
Harbor because of scheduling conflicts with Cleveland
during the Republican National Convention (RNC).
Cleveland city officials
have said hosting both
events within eight days of
each other poses too many
security challenges.
About 100,000 people visited the Tall Ships in 2013,
the last time the event was
in Cleveland.
“This is going to be fantastic, something that we
would like to make a tradition for Fairport Harbor,”
said Mayor Tim Manross.
He explained the event
was arranged by Fairport
Harbor Heritage Foundation, a nonprofit cultural
and community economic
development and tourism
organization.
The effort to bring the
Tall Ships to the village
and Lake County began last
year after the Madeline,
a reconstruction of a mid19th century Great Lakes
schooner, docked in Fairport
Harbor during its annual
Harbor Fest.
“There was a pretty good

ports where

plan to stop.
turnout for this, but I always
wanted a Tall Ships event
by doing something a little
bit bigger,” Manross said.
“We always thought Fairport
Harbor would a good destination for this.”
That dream became a
reality with the help of a
former village economic development professional and
John Ollila, a trustee of the
Fairport Harbor Lighthouse
and Marine Museum, who
helped contact Tall Ships
America, the organization
that oversees the Tall Ships
Challenge.
Because of the RNC, the
organization was looking for
a substitute port and, after
its director visited Fairport
Harbor, it was decided the
village was an excellent site
to host the event, the mayor
said.
Soon, several Lake County officials also became involved because, “for this to be
successful, we knew it had to
be a countywide initiative,”
Manross said.
A small team of people
was created to develop the
entire Tall Ships event so it
benefits the village as well as
the entire county, Manross
explained.
Through marketing,
the mayor said organizers
hope to attract people from
throughout Northeast Ohio
and people from Erie, Penn.
to Toledo, as well as early
arrivals to the RNC.
“This is getting to look
like it’s going to be more
of a contested convention,
so were hoping people who
come to it are going to be
looking for things to do,”
Manross said. “We plan to let
people coming to the convention know that the Tall Ships
is among the things they can
see and experience.”
The mayor doesn’t think
RNC visitors will mind driv-
ing 30 miles east of Cleveland to see and visit the
gorgeous sailing vessels.
“This also gives the county a chance to showcase its
waterfront,” he added.
The ships will be docked
along the Grand River, while
420 Water St. in Fairport
Harbor will be where visitors
can find food trucks, bands,
performers, artisans and
other activities.
“We’re inviting visitors
to spend time in the village
enjoying themselves,” said
Pam Morse, an area business
owner and one of the Fairport Harbor Heritage Foundation’s founders. “This is
going to be an international
event because of where these
ships are coming from.”
There will be a trolley
to take people around the
village and a shuttle to take
people to and from parking,
she added.

JEFFERSON – The Ashtabula
County Port Authority met May 20
at its new offices on West Jefferson
Street to discuss new developments in
its remediation of the old FirstEnergy
“C” Plant on Lake Road in Ashtabula
Township, as well as several other
designated environmental cleanup
projects county-wide.
The Ashtabula FirstEnergy “C”
Plant, acquired by the Port Authority
in 2006, is currently under an environmental remediation project with
Mentor-based CT Consultants aimed
at re-purposing the facility. CT Consultants recently discovered the four
boilers on the premises still contain
a significant quantity of asbestos
insulation following a supposed top-
to-bottom cleanup by Michael Baker
International.
Representatives for Baker said they’d
have to review documentation to determine whether the boilers fell within
the scope of their cleanup contract and
would return at the Port Authority’s
next meeting with their findings.
The Port Authority Board voted
to approve hiring CT Consultants to
survey and test the materials present,
and then to develop/execute a RFP
(Request For Proposal) for the abatement. CT was retained at a cost not to
exceed $10,000.
The board also discussed possibly
funding an asbestos abatement for the
old Ashtabula Municipal Building, at
the request of Ashtabula City Manager
Jim Timonere. The board approved
the survey, along with a few other
brownfield-related projects.
The survey will cost $5,000 and
the funds are reimbursable under a
$600,000 U.S. EPA Brownfield Assessment Grant, Port Authority Executive Director Sean Ratican said.
The municipal building was one of six
projects the board discussed funding
under the grant.
The Port Authority Board then
discussed the successful cleanup effort
at the old Marathon service station
at the intersection of State Routes 45
and 307 in Austinburg Township and
the next steps for the property. The
Port Authority has the power to buy
property for cleanup and economic
improvement.
“The Port purchased the property
earlier this year and we have applied
for a grant through ODSA (Ohio Development Services Agency),” Ratican
said.
The board is still waiting to hear
on whether it has received the grant.

“It’s unfortunate that we
need this, but there is a
need for this both here and
nationwide.”
A pair of grant applications for the Ashtabula
Juvenile Court relating
to at-risk youth received
unanimous approval from
the board.
The first grant application to the Ohio Department
of Youth Services will total
just over $765,000 and fund
programs through the juvenile court aimed at rescuing
at risk and unruly youth
before they become involved
or, barring that, heavily involved in the juvenile justice
system.
The second application
requests an additional
$14,500 to fund a Detention Alternative Program
through a separate program
also administered by the
Ashtabula County Juvenile
Court and funded by the
Ohio Department of Youth
Services.
“Judge Camplese is re-
ally passionate about these
programs,” Commissioner
Daniel Claypool said. “He’s
really spearheaded the effort.”
The board also finalized
a contract with Ashtabula-based Union Industrial
Contractors for work on the
long-stalled Carpenter Road
sanitary sewer lift station.
The $369,000 contract will
execute immediately upon
signing and received an
enthusiastic ‘yes’ vote from
the board.
“This was a long time
coming,” Carlo said. “It
was part of the original
agreement with the City
of Ashtabula and Saybrook
Township and it was held up
because of some problems
with the property.”
With this vote, the rehabilitation project may begin.
The Ashtabula County
Convention Facilities Authority Board of Directors
will have a new face when
their new term begins on
June 1st. Clifford Henry
will be replacing outgoing
member Peter Pasqualone,
who notified the commissioners he doesn’t wish to
serve another term.
“[Pasqualone] has served
on the board a long time,”
Claypool said. “We’re sending him an official letter
thanking him for his service.
He’ll be missed.”
The board set a public
hearing for the Ashtabula
County Community Development Block Grant
Program at June 9th at
1:30 p.m. in the office of
the Board of Commissioners. This hearing will allow the public to speak to
the commissioners on the

prior to ratification by the
Ashtabula County Commissioners.
The commissioners then
adjourned until their next

occur on June 2 at 1 p.m.
due to observance of the

Since that day, veteran

the first to decorate both

make that claim.
The nation began to celebrate Memorial Day nationally after a proclamation
from the Commander-inChief of the Grand Army of
the Republic from General
John A Logan. On May 30,
1868, the first official Memorial Day ceremony honoring
veterans took place at Arlington National Cemetery.
Celebrations around the
country are taking place to

of decorating the graves of
all soldiers. The ceremony

seen at the international
level where ideas of ours

or NATO, or NAFTA – we
do what others can’t do, we
partner better than anyone.”
Partnering as a means to
success is as old as the country and Cole pointed to 18th
Century French political
thinker and writer Alexis
de Tocqueville, who wrote
extensively on America’s
early political mechanics
in his 1835 magnum opus
‘Democracy in America.’
“When Alexis de Tocqueville wrote Democracy
in America, he repeatedly
used an expression ‘selfinterest well-understood’ or
‘enlightened self-interest’ –
he didn’t create this concept,
but he did use it,” Cole said.
“Enlightened self-interest
works when Americans
voluntarily join together in
free associations and submit
some of their freedom for
the group’s good but in their
own self-interest for two
reasons: for their own good
and to do the right thing,
the morally right thing.”
Cole pointed to some of
the systemic challenges
the nation at large and the
county writ small are facing in today’s political and
economic climate.
“There are too many
old interests trying to stay
alive,” Cole said. “Too many
new interests the public
doesn’t yet understand and
an education system being
tested as it tries to adjust in
a nation big enough where
a one-size-fits-all approach
is not going to work.”
The solution, according
to Cole, is to use state and
federal resources administered at the local level
using partnerships with
agencies, churches and
firms with boots already on
the ground.
“If we’re going to help
people we’re going to need
to re-think our state and national strategy and perform
locally,” Cole said. “If we’re
going to do it locally, we’re
going to have to do what we
as Americans do – practicing our partnerships.”
Cole highlighted the reasons he thinks Northeast
Ohio is ripe for success.
“I think Northeast Ohio
is one of the best-kept secrets in the country – I really do,” Cole said. “This is
just a wonderful area. I’m a
native of Ohio and I have no
desire to leave. I think one
of the best drives in Ohio is
from Columbus to here. The
best part is not the Columbus part, it’s the here part.”
Toxic but Terrific Tour! tour of environmentally toxic
sites to be held in Terrific Ashtabula, June 4, 1-4 p.m.
in our communities.”
The tour kicks off at 1 p.m. from the Harbor Topky
Library, 1633 Walnut Blvd. in Ashtabula. It will start
with a brief presentation by Vanessa Pesec of NEOGAP
(Network for Oil and Gas Accountability and Protection).
Pesec will give an overview of fracking activity in the area,
provide information about the hazards of horizontal drilling, and discuss the impact of injection wells and drilling
by-products. Attendees will then board a bus for a two
hour tour.
Attendees may drive separately if needed – maps will
be provided. Organizers note, “We know people are busy
on Saturdays in the summer. You are welcome to join us
for as much or as little as you are able.”
ACWW invites members of the public to learn about
Ashtabula County’s toxic past and efforts to reach for a
cleaner future. To reserve a seat on the bus, or to coordinate
travel plans with the tour, please contact Ashtabula County
Water Watch via email at [email protected], by
phone at (440) 549-0111, or via the facebook event page.
This event is free and open to the public. Funds for
the tour were provided by a mini-grant from the Center
for Health and Environmental Justice. Tour sponsors include: Ashtabula, Geauga, Lake Counties Farmers Union;
Lake Effect OEFFA; FrackFree Geauga; FrackFree Lake
County; and the NE Ohio Sierra Club.

City of Geneva law enforcement
will show zero tolerance
GENEVA - Once again, the Geneva Police Department is reminding motorists to Click it or Ticket.
From May 23-June 5, state and local law enforcement
agencies across the nation are stepping up enforcement to crack down on motorists who aren’t wearing
their seat belts.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration, in 2014, there were 9,385 unbuckled
passenger vehicle occupants killed in crashes in the
United States.
“To help prevent crash fatalities, we need to step up
enforcement and crack down on those who don’t wear
their seat belts,” Chief Dan Dudik said.
In 2014, there were 602 children 12 years and
younger killed in motor vehicle crashes. Of those
deaths, more than a third were unrestrained. Among
young adults ages 18 to 34 killed in crashes, 57 percent were completely unrestrained. Men make up a
majority of those killed in fatal crashes - 53 percent
compared to 40 percent for women.
“If you ask the family members of those unrestrained people who were killed in crashes, they’ll tell
you - they wish their loved ones had buckled up,” added
Dudik. “The bottom line is that seat belts save lives. If
these enforcement crackdowns get people’s attention,
and get them to buckle up, then we’ve done our job.”

first Annual burning of the Homesafe announces
KiDS roCK events
Socks held in the Harbor
BY DEE RILEY
Gazette Newspapers
ASHTABULA - On Sunday, May 22, Bridge Street
in the Harbor held its first
ever Burning of the Socks to
say good-bye to winter.
The Lift Bridge Community Association supplied a
fire to roast those old socks
and welcome summer bare
feet.
The participants had
their choice of how to go
about this. Some threw them
in while others used a stick
to entice the flames.
This year’s attendance
was small, but with more
advertising and enthusiasm,
the committee hopes to make
next year better - so save up
those old socks and join the
fun next year.
Jacob Voice, age 8, throws his socks in. He just wanted to see them burn.
Rees Davis lights the fire for the event.
ASHTABULA COUNTY - Homesafe feels that to limit
the effects of bullying, you must empower youth to have feelings of self-worth and that is our goal for our special events
“KIDS ROCK.” Our special event promotes self-esteem,
self-worth, and self-confidence in our children.
This year we will have two separate special events for
children age 8 to 14. Our first event is Thursday, May 26,
at G.O. CDC on Station Avenue, Ashtabula from 2:10 to 6
p.m. Our second event is Friday, June 10, from 9 a.m. to
12 p.m. at Giddings Park, South Market Street, Jefferson.
KIDS ROCK at G.O. (May 26) will offer a basketball
shooting competition and ring toss games and also a choice
of painting a self-portrait or planting a vegetable to take
home. We will be volunteering to help at the G.O. Soup
Kitchen and visit the Samaritan House, gaining self-esteem
through helping.
KIDS ROCK joins Operation Preparation Ohio (Ashtabula County Health Department) on June 10, a collaboration
to benefit children. We have choice of different activities
including first-aid basics, water safety, fire house, and
emergency food preparation. Along with some community
service at the Senior Nutrition Center.
At both KIDS ROCK events, Grace Martial Arts from
Conneaut will be offering a few moves to defend yourself.
We will also have the ARMY represented, offering some
interactive activities with a soldier. We are hoping for the
rock-climbing wall for Jefferson and maybe the dog-tag
machine at G.O.
Please call Homesafe at 992-2727 to save a spot at either
of these fun opportunities for youth ages 8 to 14. If you
would like to donate or help with these events, call Julie
Wood or Sarah Chapman at Homesafe.
Homesafe’s Outreach goes into schools and talk about
the problems children have with anger management and
bullying, which spills into teen dating violence. This event
is structured to help build the confidence of those attending.
We want kids to understand that we think KIDS ROCK
and have the abilities to accomplish so much. We want the
success of helping those in need and learning how to defend
yourself along with other activities to build confidence and
self-worth.
Homesafe, Inc. is a private, not-for-profit community
agency, committed to breaking the cycle of violence in
Ashtabula County and its surrounding areas through the
provision of emergency and non-emergency services. Our
mission is to assure greater awareness of the problems of
domestic violence and abuse through the education and
empowerment of individuals, families, and the community.
If you or someone you know is in an abusive relationship,
call Homesafe at 992-2727.

Ellsworth Marteeny, ‘Tenor of the foxholes’
Singing for the King and
Serving in the Army
Editor’s Note: The Gazette has begun an ongoing
series of stories originally
published in the D-Day Conneaut programs. They are
dedicated to the men and
women who served during
World War II. This story
appeared in the 2011 edition and reflects details at
that time.
BY BARBARA J. HAMILTON
Gazette Newspapers
Opera and the military
do not normally go together,
but Ellsworth Marteeny
would show they are a perfect match when he took his
singing voice and military
skill all over Europe.
Born in West Springfield,
Pa., on April 19, 1915, to
Daniel and Hazel Marteeny,
he would finish school and
eventually get his degree
from the Dana School of
Music. At age 21, he was
awarded a scholarship to
study opera at the Royal
Academy of Music in London. He received his Masters
in Music at the prestigious
school.
The following years were
spent singing and touring
throughout Europe under
the sponsorship of the Italian Society of Great Britain.
While studying music
in Rome, he saw and heard
Mussolini addressing the
people.
But by far, Marteeny’s
most treasured moment
would be when he had the
honor of being a soloist at the
coronation of King George VI
in London in 1937.
In February of 1941,
before the Pearl Harbor
attack, he chose to enlist
in the Army and put his
opera career on hold. He
was stationed in Ft. Lewis,
Washington, where he met
his future wife, Jeanette
McCullough.
Already a world traveler,
the Army now gave him a
first-hand look at Africa,
Italy and Germany, serving with the 7th Infantry,
3rd Division, as a medical
technician.
But it was his voice that
set him a part from the rest
of the Army. He gained
the nickname “Tenor of the
Foxholes” and organized the
Seventh Infantry choir, even
as he remained on the front
line 386 days for the duration of the war.
It may have been his
music that helped him keep
going as he served as a sergeant and technical surgeon
assigned to line companies
as they went in the first
wave of soldiers at Fide-
la, Africa, under General
George S. Patton.
On July 10, 1943, while
under the command for the
second time with Patton, he
was wounded by machine
gun fire in Sicily. He had
surgery on a hospital ship off
the coast of North Africa and
after two months of recovery,
was sent back to the front
lines in Italy.
Eight months later, on
March 12, 1944, while fighting on the bach during the
Battle of Anzio, Marteeny
was wounded again when
hit by shrapnel.
There were some pleasant days in the midst of
the fighting. While fighting
near Rome, he entered the
city and got quite a surprise
when he ran across his former maestro under whom
he had studied opera before
the United States entered
the war.
His unit would attack the
Germans early in the morning and then dig foxholes the
rest of the day in anticipation of the counterattacks
by the enemy. At night, they
would move again, marching as much as 30 miles in
a night. They would then
start the process all over
again as they moved across
the countryside.
As his unit approached

Hitler’s countryside home,
Berchtesgaden, they were
the first to see the smoke
rising from the smoldering
ruins. Hitler and his wife,
Eva Braun, whom he had
married hours before in
the bunker, had committed
suicide and had the bunker
bombed with their bodies
inside.
Marteeny gave his firsthand account. “The upper
part was all burned out, but
the bombs never touched the
bottom,” he said. “He had a
library down there, his wine
cellar, and operating table
and his telephone switchboard that connected to all
the capitals of the world.
There was no electricity and
there were too many corridors - we didn’t know if there
was anyone there,” he said.
Marteeny’s outfit proudly
raised the American flag at
Berchtesgaden and the picture of the moment hangs at
the hotel there even today.
For his outstanding service, Marteeny was awarded
32 decorations, including
three Purple Hearts. The
French awarded him their
highest medal, the Croix de
Guerre.
The 3rd Division in which
Marteeny served suffered
more combat deaths in WWII
than any other U.S. division,
and the third highest among
modern U.S. Divisions, behind only the 2nd Infantry
Division in the Korean War
and the 1st Calvary Division
in the Vietnam War.
To Marteeny’s credit,
he fought and survived the
battles of Algeria-French
Morocco, Tunisia, Sicily,
Naples-Foggia, Anzio, RomeArno, Southern France, Ardennes-Alsace, the Rhineland and Central Europe.
After his discharge in
1945, Marteeny returned
home to his wife, Jeanette.
The extent of his injuries
kept him in the hospital
for a time. His mother, who
was taking night classes
in ceramics, suggested he
try painting ceramics while
recuperating.
“I couldn’t get around because of my leg, so I decided
to take up ceramics as a
hobby,” Marteeny recalled.
His hands were still steady,
but his voice was not as
strong as it had once been.
He made the choice to try
using his hands at something productive. He began
by shaping and sculpturing
modeling clay and evolved
into making his own molds.
Ultimately, he was certified
and began teaching adult
evening classes, which led
his hobby into a lucrative
career known as HEJD Ceramics, located on Rowe
Street in Conneaut.
The career lasted long
past retirement age. In fact,
Marteeny, at age 95, had
successfully run his business
for 60 years.
He was a man who needed and loved to work. His
drive and talent made him
into one of Conneaut, Ohio’s,
most successful businessmen. He once said, “If I quit
the business, I myself quit.”
He was proud to say his shop
never closed, not even in a
blizzard or electrical blackout. He was known to use oil
lamps in such emergencies
during his classes.
Marteeny and his wife,
Jeanette, had two children,
Daniel and Hazel. They gave
their parents six grandchildren and five great-grandchildren. Daniel had Dannia, Douglas and Dennis.
Hazel had Kristen, Kimberly
and Katie.
Daughter Hazel Phillips,
of Conneaut, accompanied
her father on the Honor
Flight of Cleveland for WWII
veterans to Washington,
D.C.
Ellsworth R. Marteeny
lived until the age of 95 and
passed peacefully from this
life on Sept. 17, 2010. His
wife, Jeanette, passed away
in 2007 after they had been
married for 65 years.
Full military honors were
given at Marteeny’s funeral
to honor his service and
exemplary life. He is buried
in Greenlawn Memorial
Gardens, North Kingsville,
Ohio.
Marteeny was of the stuff
real soldiers and real men
are made of. He accomplished more in his life than
most. He was courageous,
dependable, multi-talented,
dedicated, faithful and a
man among men.

Ashtabula Arts Center seeks
war letters for fall exhibit
ASHTABULA - Ashtabula County residents are being
called on to contribute to the September/October gallery
exhibit at the Ashtabula Arts Center. In conjunction with
the G.B. Community Theatre production of “If All the
Sky Were Paper,” a play by author and historian Andrew
Carroll about his global search for what he calls “the most
extraordinary war letters ever written,” the arts center
will have on exhibit the wartime correspondence and
photos of veterans and civilians from Ashtabula County.
The Ashtabula County District Library is partnering with
the arts center on this project and will be archiving all
submissions digitally as the inaugural collection in their
new “Ashtabula Memory Project.”
Submissions from any branch of service and any type
of correspondence related to war or life in the military
during wartime are appropriate for this exhibit, whether
it’s about boot camp and basic training, time on the front
lines, recollections of veterans written down after a
conflict is over, the experiences of family and friends at
home, or observations on war from civilian bystanders
and survivors.
To submit letters and photos, contributors should
bring them to the Ashtabula County District Library
main branch reference desk between July 5 and Sept. 3,
2016, for scanning. They will be asked to fill out a short
information sheet at that time. The library will not need
to keep any original documents or photos. They will be
scanned digitally and returned — a process that can be
completed in minutes while contributors wait.
Anyone with questions about contributing letters,
e-mails, or photos should contact Meeghan Humphrey,
Deputy Director and Director of Visual Arts, at (440) 9643396 or [email protected].
Those interested in learning more about Andrew Carroll and The War Letters Project should visit Chapman
University’s page for The Center for American War Letters at www.warletters.us.
Ohio Arts Council helped fund the arts center with
state tax dollars to encourage economic growth, educational excellence and cultural enrichment for all Ohioans.

Walk with a Doc is May 26
Ashtabula County Medical Center and Premiere Fitness’s
Walk with a Doc is headed to Lakeshore Park.
On Thursday, May 26, join Sara Wetzel at Lakeshore
Park Pavilion at 5 p.m. Wetzel will discuss how you can “Get
in the Habit to Get Healthy” prior to commencing the walk.
While at Walk with a Doc, walk at your own pace for 30 to
45 minutes. Additional ACMC staff will be on-hand to walk
with groups at different speeds. Walk with a Doc is free.
Walk with a Doc is a monthly program to educate and
motivate people to take advantage of an exercise just about
everyone can do - walk. Walk with a Doc is a national program that pairs people of all ages with a physician or health
professional who provide information about a specific health
topic and then walks with the attendees where additional
information can be given or questions answered. Walking is
a key step in improving a person’s health. Death from heart
disease could be reduced by 34-percent by walking only two
hours per week. Women with breast cancer who walk two
to three miles per week, three to five hours a week, have a
death rate half of that for sedentary women. For more information about Walk with a Doc, contact Premiere Fitness at
440-998-3488. No reservation is required for this free event.

Hello, Ashtabula County! What do Arden Bishop, Jackson
Bogardus, Raeann Eldred, Mitchell Inman, Calla Mazzaro,
Nicole Mann, Sarah Piper, Ashley Ray, Samuel Semai, and
Justin Swiger all have in common? If you guessed they are
very bright, talented, and goal oriented young people, you are
correct! Because of these qualities and many more, they were
selected to be recipients of a 2016-2017 Agricultural Scholarship Fund Award.
The Ashtabula County Agricultural Scholarship Fund was
founded on April 29, 1952 by a group of local leaders to help
promote interest in the study of agriculture, home economics,
environmental sciences, and natural resources. Since then,
the committee has grown to also additional community scholarships which are open to any student regardless of the college
major. This scholarship program is driven by a super group
of Ashtabula County volunteers and supported by countless
families, agribusiness firms and prior recipients.
This year, I am very pleased to announce the scholarship
committee was able to present a total of $11,500 in scholarship money to ten outstanding young people. It was a tough
selection process for our committee as we were impressed
with all the applications submitted for consideration. The

Stop and smell the roses

beginning of summer travel.
Many things to do. Is there
enough time to do everyPast President
thing? Most important is
to stop and smell the roses.
Northeast Ohio
Public rose gardens are a
Rose Society
feature of many towns and
cities. They are open to the
public. They are used to present and grow various types
of garden roses or rose species. As Millie and I traveled
across these United States
we found and toured many
rose gardens, both big and
small. An enjoyable time to relax and enjoy the beauty of
color and fragrance.
Here in Ashtabula County we are within a day’s drive of
spectacular gardens. Gardens where you can relax and lose
the stress of hectic living.
Take a day off, visit another town, enjoy the scenery and
a new place to eat. Close by, you can admire the roses at the
Madison Public Library. Then off to Mentor and walk through
the Memorial Rose Garden on Rt. 20. A short drive South you
will find the Rose Garden at the Mooreland Mansion located

Staying in the dairy business
Recent information from
The U.S. Department of Agriculture indicates a drop of
1200 to 1,300 dairy herds in
the United States in the past
year. At the same time the
number of cows in each herd
has gone up slightly. As a
result the total milk production has gone up some.
Locally, we haven’t seen

produce that milk. We might
expect a few to say it’s time
to quit.
Why is it that locally we
haven’t seen a drop in dairy
herds in spite of low prices
for that milk? Conversations
with a couple of dairy farmers suggest a couple of reasons. One is that most of the
dairy farms left in this area
are highly efficient and have
been able to at least break
even in the face of the poor
prices. They have kept their
costs of production down.
Another reason is they
have looked at every way
possible to cut costs. No
new machinery has been
bought; feed costs have been
carefully watched along with
lower fertilizer and chemical prices. They have used a
sharp pencil when it comes to
buying what they need.
Low debt levels have allowed some to hang on even
with the milk price where it
is. Some refinancing may
have helped a few. Living
on depreciation of existing
assets may also have been a

by, find the Cleveland Botanical Gardens and the Cleveland
Green house. In Shaker Heights look for the Community
Rose Garden alongside the Woodbury Elementary School.
This lovely garden showcases 400 rose bushes tended by

There are many gardens on the way to Akron. We especially like the Stan Hywet Hall and Gardens. It costs to
enter the rounds, but you will be spending a long day here.
So much to see and so much to enjoy. As you tour these gardens or other rose garden make sure that you take photos.
The photos will be important this fall before winter sets in.
You need time to make plan and make preparation for your
new garden next year. Remember: we want to make all of
our mistakes on paper.
Close by is the Fellows Riverside Gardens in Youngstown
just off of I 680. This garden is part of the Mill Creek Metro
Parks system. We enjoy the flowers, the peace and quiet as
well as flower shows. One Christmas they had a large display
of decorated Christmas tree. One tree was outstanding.
This was a rose tree decorated by the Mahoning County
Rose Society. They even had a mouse wearing a Santa hat.
You will be surprised at what you see and learn when you
visit these gardens.
The granddaddy of all rose gardens is the Park of Roses
in Columbus, Ohio. This 13 acre plot in Whetstone Park
showcases 11,000 total roses consisting of more than 350
different types. Visit this garden and pay attention to the
Earth-Kind rose garden. That garden requires no care
except for removing spent blooms. Whetstone Park began
in 1953 and for many years was the home of the American
Rose Society. The park is open from dawn to dark and there
is no admission for visitors. On the other side of Columbus
you will find the Franklin Park Conservatory. This glass
enclosure is something to behold. Tour the ORIGAMI display
in the garden. Inside see the how many butterflies you can
could count as they fly around.
Note: On Friday, June 3, 2016, Millie and I invite you
to view our rose gardens at 103 W. Jefferson St. Come see
the color and smell the fragrance. Visit and let’s talk roses.
View our new plantings, then come back in late September
and see all the growth. You will have to look up to see some
roses. Please come any time after 2 o’clock. We will enjoy
your company. Look for the flag sporting a large red rose
with the words THE ROSE. We expect to see you. We want
you to grow and enjoy our National Flower. Bring your

2016 District Fishing Forecast: Top 5 Northeast Ohio Inland Lakes by Species
As the spring days grow warmer, more and more Ohioans
will be venturing out to go fishing. Ohio offers many fantastic opportunities for the public to fish, including 124,000
acres of inland water, 7,000 miles of streams, 2.25 million
acres of Lake Erie water, and 481 miles of the Ohio River,
according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources
(ODNR). Here are a few areas in northeast Ohio anglers
may want to check out.
The ODNR Division of Wildlife has numerous resources
available to assist anglers, including lake maps, fishing
tips by species, and fishing forecasts based on survey data.
New this year, is an interactive fishing map which allows
anglers to select features to customize their own fishing
maps for Ohio’s inland lakes. The interactive map is even
mobile friendly so anglers can access information right on
the water. For more information, click the fishing tab at

as many inventions and patents that he owned, Thomas
Edison had many more that were not a success. But his
philosophy was “I haven’t failed, I’ve just learned many of
ways that won’t work.”
Learning requires hard work, diligence and passion,
Kimmel advised.
Kimmel, who was a unanimous selection by students to
offer his remarks, captured the rapt attention of his audience as he shared with the honorees a simple secret for a
fulfilling life explaining: “It’s something that you already
know, but probably forgot you know.”
Summarizing advice from the popular book “All I Really
Need to Know I learned in Kindergarten,” by Robert Fulghum, Kimmel said, “The book is a great read and it’s all
there: the Golden Rule, love, caring, compassion, environmental awareness, happiness and safety. Such important
lessons we learned in kindergarten. I think if you look back
over your lives you will realize that you have already been
doing most of these things and you will find similarities
to the four pillars of National Honor Society: Scholarship,
Service, Leadership and Character. I am convinced that is
why you are being honored here today.”
National Honor Society President Shelbie Sporcich, a
senior in A-Tech’s Health Care Academy, served as Master
of Ceremonies, introducing A-Tech Superintendent Dr.
Jerome Brockway who provided congratulatory remarks
prior to the formal induction ceremony conducted by second year members. Small Animal Care Program senior
Maranda Eliason introduced the four seniors who offered
comments about the four tenets of National Honor Society
membership. Ashley Stowers spoke about Leadership.
Erica Applebee offered comments regarding Scholarship.
Moria Blood spoke about Service and Dominick Barricklow
provided remarks about Character.
As the inductees participated in the traditional candle
lighting ceremony, Principal Mr. Paul Brockett and NHS
Advisor Tanya Hereen introduced them as full-fledged
members of the organization. Following the ceremony, the
newly minted NHS members and their families mingled

2016 Grand River District Pinewood Derby held
ANDOVER - This year’s Grand River District Pinewood
Derby was hosted by Andover Pack 44 at the Andover
United Methodist Church in Andover Ohio.
Finalists from 18 packs from all over Ashatabula and
Lake Counties attended the event.
Jeremy from Pack 71 provided the track and Pack 44
had a variety of delicious items for the concession stand.
The day started with Tom Lucas from the Grand River
District checking the racers in and assigning them numbers.
Fifty-two Cub Scouts registered to race and 18 registered
for the Derby show, which included several categories such
as most original, best paint where everyone in attendance
had a chance to vote for their favorites.
Tom Lucas began the ceremonies with the Pledge of Allegiance, explained the rules and then the racers were off! The boys hoped to win these trophies.
The boys enjoyed sitting at the end of the track to watch
the cars at the finish line. There was an electronic timer and
a computer program that kept the times for each heat. The
Scouts do not race against each other but race four times
with an average of the times being calculated.
The votes were tallied for the “best in show categories”
with four trophies being awarded then it was onto the racers. Awards were given for first through tenth place and
were handed out by Tom Lucas.
A big “Thank You” goes out to Andover United Methodist Church, Andover Pack44, The Grand River District and
Tom Lucas for your awesome hospitality and all of your
hard work.
Braden, who recently
crossed over into Troop 68,
was a helper for the day.

The golden age of becoming a “Senior Citizen”

Saybrook United Methodist Church to hold 37th Annual Strawberry Festival
SAYBROOK TOWNSHIP - Saybrook United Methodist Church will hold its 37th Annual Strawberry Festival from 4:30-6:30 p.m. June 18.
Be ready for the fresh picked, locally grown strawberries this year.
Many people pre-order the freshly-made strawberry pies to make sure they won’t miss
out on getting one. Last year, the church had over 100 pies purchased.
People can call the church office at (440) 969-1562 to pre-order their pies. Please plan
on picking them up when you come to the festival on June 18.
The church will also have chocolate-covered strawberries, short-cakes, freshly made,
baked beans, potato salad, hotdogs, sausage and peppers and sloppy joes.
There will be carry outs available for those that can’t stay and enjoy the fellowship.
Please plan on coming and enjoying the food, fun and fellowship.

DAIRY
factor. Not spending money on buildings or
machinery maintenance saves money now
but will catch up with a dairy farm later.
A long time interest in cows and working
with them keeps some in the dairy business.
They know and like handling the animals
and watching their production levels. Some
with registered herds have developed blood
lines that they value and want to keep.
If a farmer wants to stay on the farm,
the alternatives for making a decent income
are not the best right now. We’ve had a big
trend toward grain farming locally for many
years now. That has been because it is less
confining than dairy farming and would
return a reasonable living for the family.
But today’s grain prices don’t entice many
farmers to switch to that alternative.
Another factor that is an important part
of the picture locally is someone in the family is working off the farm. This brings in
income and maybe benefits that allow the
family to stay on the farm even if it isn’t
making any money.
A family has to look at many things in
making a decision about farming. If they like
dairy cows, that is important. On the other
hand if the confining work of milking two
or three times a day 365 days a year is not
to their liking, they can try something else.
Or frankly as many have done over the
years, they have sold the farm and found
a job in town. That can be a very difficult
decision for many.
As we reflect back over the years we
have seen dramatic changes locally and
nationally in our agriculture—and they are
not over yet.
TALL SHIPS
The $200,000 Tall Ships
event is being paid for
through a $50,000 contribution from the Lake County
Visitors Bureau, ticket sales,
and corporate and private
sponsorships. There also will
be day-sails on some of the
ships and a July 9 VIP event
for which special tickets are
being sold, Morse said.
Fairport Harbor is the
first U.S. port of arrival for
the 11-week Tall Ships Challenge, which launches with
a three-day stop beginning
July 1 in Toronto. Subsequent ports include Bay City,
Mich.; Chicago, Ill.; Green
Bay, Wis.; Duluth, Minn.;
and Erie, Pa.; with Brockville, Ont. being the last.
Fairport Harbor will be
the smallest community host-
ing the international event.
There will be additional
stops in yet-to-be announced
Great Lakes communities,
as well as Tall Ships races
on all five Great Lakes. The
Lake Erie race is set for July
11 from Fairport Harbor to
the Pelee Island area in Canadian waters.
The Great Lakes Challenge alternates with port
sail-ins along the Atlantic
and Pacific coasts, although
ports along the Gulf Coast
will be added in 2018, according to Tall Ships America
officials.
The Fairport Harbor Tall
Ships event includes nine
ships.

the Ashtabula foundation takes pride in granting charitable
organizations in Ashtabula County funds needed for the betterment
of people in our communities. their legacy either assists beneficiaries
that were designated by the donor, or for general funding needs at
the discretion of the board of trustees of the Ashtabula foundation.
due to the foresight of the above-named individuals, organizations
such as Ashtabula County Medical Center, Ashtabula County
yMCA, second Congregational Church, and the university of
sciences of philadelphia receive quarterly distributions from the
income derived from the original bequest of the donors. the
edward J. harvey scholarship fund generates $20,000 annually in
scholarships to assist Ashtabula County students to attend college.
the number of requests continues to increase each year, and the
dollar amounts needed keep getting larger. it is a challenge to meet
the needs of so many worthy organizations. We hope that people
who share the same vision of those donors we recognize, will give
thought to the Ashtabula foundation and be remembered for years
for their generosity.
if you would like to meet and discuss the possibility of being a future
donor, please contact the Ashtabula foundation office at

A WAY TO REMEMBER OUR COMMUNITY
AND BE REMEMBERED
From

1B
Springfield Lake, Summit County,
Akron, OH. Springfield Lake is stocked
every other year with channel catfish and
provides anglers with an opportunity to
land a true trophy.
There is shoreline access scattered
across many different areas of the lake.
Traditional baits such as chicken liver,
shrimp, cut bait, and night crawlers work
well. Anglers will find boat launches on the
North and South sides to access the unique
lake-bottom structure of the lake.
Walleye/Saugeye
Mosquito Reservoir, Trumbull County,
Cortland, OH. Mosquito has the densest
walleye population across all of Ohio’s
inland lakes. Each year, the ODNR Division of Wildlife collects broodstock walleye
from Mosquito for hatchery production. It
is known for producing great catch rates of
walleye from 14-18 inches, but anglers who
are familiar with the lake and the fishery
regularly catch walleye up to 28-inches.
Mid-lake areas from the causeway to
the “Cemetery” produce the best catches.
Drifting, trolling, or casting from the six to
15-foot range work best, but make sure to
align your baits with whatever season it is.
Call Wildlife District Three’s fish management section to learn more about seasonal
baits to try. Anglers who wade generally
find success near the State Park Access on
the south end.
Three public boat launches and two
private launches span the lake, with two
boat rental facilities available. There is
unlimited horsepower access, but a large
area north of the causeway is considered to
be slow/no wake zone. The extreme north
end of the lake above the buoy line is no
access due to the Wildlife Refuge.
Mosquito can produce trophy catches
year round. Whether it is ice fishing, early
season wading, mid-summer trolling, or
casting in the fall, Mosquito is the choice for
many walleye anglers across Ohio.
Muskellunge
West Branch Reservoir, Portage County,
Ravenna, OH. The ODNR Division of Wildlife’s Musky Angler Log indicates that West
Branch has produced the most fish last year
for musky anglers. This lake is known for
producing fish, but the number of large
fish reported has been high, making West
Branch a true trophy fishery for anglers.
West Branch is great for trollers and
casters. Long points, sunken islands, and
weed lines are ideal areas to start. A good
lake map is needed to ensure that you are
hitting the right areas.
Three improved launches and two unimproved launches are available. Boats with
unlimited horsepower are allowed, but the
areas west of Rock Springs Road are a nowake area.
West Branch has historically had numerous predators stocked over the years.
Muskie, walleye, saugeye, and even striped
bass have been stocked, so don’t be surprised with what you catch at West Branch!
