JEFFERSON - Strawberry
shortcake and historical buildings
were the stars at the 29th annual
Strawberry Festival and Craft
Bazaar, which was held at the historic 19th century Jefferson Depot
Village this past weekend.
During the festival, visitors
enjoyed the strawberry desserts,
played kids’ games, browsed the
many craft vendors, toured the
historic buildings on the Depot
grounds and more. On Sunday,
visitors also enjoyed an Antique
and Classic Car Show.
The Strawberry Festival shared
its weekend with the Jefferson
Days and Carnival this year, and
many families made their way to
the festival, remarking on how
many activities were going on in
Jefferson this past weekend.
C r aft vendor s c am e fr om
throughout Ohio and neighboring
states. One vendor, Brad Preston,
of Bradford, Pa., embraced the
spirit of the 19th Century Depot
and demonstrated how to make
hand-made brooms. Preston and
his son, Andrew, of Jefferson, are
“broom squires.”
“Andrew’s grandfather, my father, and I did this in Columbus,
Ohio, when I was younger,” Brad
said. “I basically inherited all of
the equipment.”
Brad said the brooms are made
from broom fiber - which comes
from broom corn. While the broom
corn looks a lot like field corn,
it has a longer growing season,
making northeast Ohio a poor climate for it. Much of the fibers are
therefore imported from the south,
particularly Mexico, he said.

Volunteers from the Lakeside High football team swarm the pirateship-themed jungle gym during the installation.
ASHTABULA HARBOR – The
long-awaited installation of new
children’s playground equipment
at Walnut Beach began the morning of June 16, with city officials,
volunteers, a pair of supervisors
from North Royalton-based Snider
Recreation and a contingent from
Lakeside High School’s football
squad to provide strong backs for
the three-day project.
“We will be installing six
swings,” Mary Church of the
City of Ashtabula’s Planning and
Community Development Agency
said. “Two larger child swings, two
bucket swings and two belt swings
– the adult type, I guess you could
call it. We’re putting in a two-seat
see-saw, two sand diggers – that’s
the thing I’m most excited about.
It’s got a claw and a seat for a child
to sit and dig up sand.”
The installation was made possible by an Ohio Department of
Natural Resources NatureWorks
project grant of $38,000, with a
25-percent match from the City of
Ashtabula for a total of $50,000.
Church said there are more ordinary, but needful improvements
as well – the city will be installing
eight new trash cans and four
benches in an effort to improve and
beautify the park.
The Lakeside boys and their
adult counterparts had the jungle
gym mostly assembled Friday
afternoon, with all the constituent parts laid out and awaiting
attachment to the main body of

Ashtabula City Council initiates parks levy process
BY GABRIEL McVEY
Gazette Newspapers
ASHTABULA – The Ashtabula City
Council met in regular session June 20 to
hear departmental reports and review a
slate of proposals held over from its last
meeting June 6 due to a lack of a quorum,
as well as acting on a motion by Ward 4
Councilor Josephine Misener to initiate the
process to place a 1.5-mil parks and recreation levy on the November 2016 ballot.
“I’m hoping the people will get behind
this and what it can do for the community,”
Misener said. “The need is definitely there.”
Misener said during her remarks on
the levy proposal that according to rough
calculations, the levy would mean a $39
tax on a home valued at $75,000 and would
immensely benefit the city’s parks.
“That works out to about $3.50 a month,”
Misener said. “We all waste that much
money every month.”
Ashtabula City Council Vice President
Christopher McClure weighed in positively
on the proposal.
“I hope to hear more on this from [Misen-
er’s] committee as you move forward,” McClure said. “We have a pretty good record
with the police levy. We need to get behind
this as a council.”
Ashtabula City Solicitor Michael Franklin said the initial vote by council would
send a request for valuation to Ashtabula

Eddie Sezon
Eddie Sezon is a 1951 Geneva High School graduate. He
studied Business Administration at Kent State University.
Eddie is the owner of Eddie’s Grill, which he founded at the
age of 17, with the help of his Slovenian immigrant parents,
Frank and Mary, and his sister, Rose Marie (GHS ’54), a
retired Geneva teacher.
Eddie’s Grill, a 1950’s-style Geneva-on-the-Lake icon
where generations of customers meet family and friends, is
known for its foot-long hot dogs, cheeseburgers, fries, root
beer, and fresh lemonade.
Eddie credits his community for teaching him a strong
entrepreneurial spirit and work ethic. As a young boy,
Eddie worked at Geneva-on-the-Lake during his breaks
from school, an inspiration for him to open his own family
business. The belief that young people should gain work
experience at an early age learning real life skills and the
value of a dollar has led Eddie to employ countless local
high school and college students, many for their first job.
Each season, former employees return to Geneva-on-theLake to share with Eddie the ways the lessons they learned
at the Grill prepared them for success in their own careers.
He works alongside his entire family at Eddie’s Grill each
summer, in fulfillment of the American Dream.
Eddie, married to his wife Anne for over 45 years, has two
daughters, Marianne Sezon (Dana) (GHS ’89), an Ashtabula
County Common Pleas judge, and Jennifer Sezon Brugger
(GHS 93), a teacher, and three grandchildren. Eddie was
awarded the Growth Partnership for Ashtabula County’s
Award for Lifetime Achievement.

and its students before her retirement in 1985.
Barbara earned a B.S. in Nursing at the University of
Cincinnati before being hired in 1953 at GHS as a part-time
nurse. She served as a school nurse for 10 years. After the
death of her husband in 1958, Barbara returned to college
at Kent State University earning a second degree, a B.S. in
Physical Education, in 1970. She accomplished this while
raising her four younger children and maintaining full-time
employment. In 1973, Barbara was hired at GHS as the
girls’ high school Physical Education teacher.
Barbara was recognized as an Outstanding Secondary
Educator of America in 1974.
Barbara was the first female Athletic Director in
Ashtabula County maintaining that position for eleven
years. During her tenure at GHS, she served as both JV
and Varsity cheerleading advisor for 13 years. For six years,
Barbara assisted students as the Career Education Advisor. In her retirement, she continued to support the girls
and boys tennis teams at home matches and traveling to
Sectional, District and State matches.
Barbara was also active in the Geneva community. She
assisted with Red Cross blood drives and at the voting polls.
She was a member of Friends of the Geneva Library and
worked with the Geneva Police Department to develop the
Eagle Block Watch. She has been a member of the Modern
Literary Forum since the group was formed in 1949.

ing (Cum Laude) from Case School of Applied Science (now
Case Western Reserve University) and did graduate work
in electronics technology at Harvard University and the

Martin is also credited with the original design and
development of the True Temper fiberglass fishing rod
manufactured in Geneva.
Active in civic and community affairs, Martin served on
the Geneva Schools Board of Education and on Geneva City
Council. The Martins were one of the first Geneva families
to host an American Field Service student.
An early advocate for STEM education, Martin taught a
computer skills class at Geneva High School on a volunteer
basis. When Martin passed away, his wife Margery, son
Thomas (GHS ’67) and daughter Beth (GHS ’64) established
the Morgan Martin Award which has been granted annually
for nearly 40 years to a GHS graduating senior who excels
in science and mathematics, exhibits interest in technology
and computer science and demonstrates intellectual curiosity and creative thinking ability. A corresponding award is
presented at the Middle School level.

ASHTABULA TOWNSHIP – For Cosmos D. Ray,
a high school diploma was a
long time coming.
Some 70 years after he
left Edgewood High School
just before graduation to
serve with the U.S. Army
in occupied Japan, Ray was
presented his diploma posthumously June 5, the first
diploma to be awarded during commencement exercises
for the Class of 2016.
The document is deeply treasured by his wife,
Anne, his seven living children, 19 grandchildren, 22
great-grandchildren and two
great-great grandchildren.
Cosmos’ widow and
daughter, Tina Ray, accepted the red leather document
from Buckeye Local Schools
Superintendent Dr. Tim
Diringer and Buckeye Board
of Education President Dave
Tredente to a standing ovation.
Ray left Edgewood High
School when it was housed in
the current Braden Middle
School building.
“He was an Army cook,
figuring if he worked in the
kitchen, he’d get more to
eat,” Edgewood High School
Principal Dr. Tim Neal said
in his presentation. “But
he noticed that locals were
often coming to take food
scraps out of the trash cans,
so he made it a point to scrub
the trash cans clean.”
Honorably discharged
in April, 1948, Ray worked
with the railroad before
entering the insurance field
and eventually starting his
own insurance agency.

GENEVA-ON-THELAKE – Starting Memorial Day weekend, Geneva
Marina saw the opening of
a new addition to the evergrowing list of summer attractions at Geneva-on-theLake. GOTL Watersports
has brought what tourists
and locals have been asking
about for years: jet ski rentals for on-the-water fun.
“We got a vacation house
at Lake Erie Vista and
we noticed there wasn’t a
place that did jet ski rentals,” Dockhand Matt Paczak said. “About six years
ago we noticed and so we
started one.”
Matt Paczak is the son
of owner Chris Paczak.
The Paczaks are from Aurora and spend summers in
Geneva-on-the-Lake with
Chris spending weekdays
in Aurora and weekends on
the lake while his son and
another dockhand manage
the business.
“We opened Memorial
Day weekend and already
[business] has exceeded
what we planned,” Paczak
said.
GOTL Watersports currently operates six jet skis;
two Yamaha Waverunner
V1 Sport craft with a 110
horsepower engine and a
top speed of 50 miles per
hour and four Sea Doo RXT
260 high-performance models with a supercharged 260
horsepower engine.
“The Sea Doo will do 70
miles per hour in the water,” Paczak said. “It’s really
powerful – it’s a wild ride.”
The slogan at GOTL Watersports is “Make Wake”
– and these vehicles do. All
of the craft are three-seat
models, so families can ride
together on one or customers can rent more if they
wish.
“Customers pay when
they call and make a reservation,” Paczak said. “You
can rent by the hour and we
have a special all-day rate.”
GOTL Watersports also
offers kayak rentals for
those who’d prefer a more
leisurely pace of fun on the
lake this summer. Customers can rent a Malibu XL
kayak that seats two and
offers the chance to take in
all the lake has to offer of a
summer day.

‘Feed Your Brain: Facts, Snacks and Getting on Track’

Lunch and Learns to be held at Ashtabula Senior Center lends a voice to his dog
ASHTABULA - As perceptions of aging continue to evolve
and barriers to exciting new beginnings increasingly erode,
older adults are re-defining the very definition of health. The
Ashtabula Senior Center provides empowering classes, workshops, and social events focused on maintaining personal
health, engaging the senses, and motivating its members.
In addition to social services and support, Center members get a jam-packed calendar of events, cultural celebrations, and innovative health and wellness programs. We’ve
all heard it: tap into the brain, use it, feed it, pursue knowledge and we open up ourselves for different opportunities.
And the truth of the matter, it’s not hard and it allows us
to have some control over our destiny.
Access to lifelong learning opportunities is unlimited
and offers amazing benefits for mental health, confidence,
income and employment opportunities. Some research suggests that lifelong learning keeps the brain healthy, active
and less prone to debilitating diseases such as dementia
or Alzheimer’s.
Are you ready to tap into your true potential? The
Ashtabula Senior Center is offering a series of free Lunch
and Learn called “Feed Your Brain: Facts, Snacks and Getting on Track Seminars”
The Ashtabula Senior Center is joining forces with area
organizations to connect and educate seniors about living a
healthy lifestyle. Each seminar takes place once a month
on Wednesday from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Ashtabula
Senior Center.
During each seminar guests 55 and older can enjoy an
afternoon of learning and a free lunch.
“Why a lunch and learn? We have found if you feed them
they will come,” said Ashtabula Senior Center director, Lisa
Bruckman. “It is also a great way for seniors to learn about
their health and how to stay healthy at any age.”
This is the first year that senior center has offered the
“Feed Your Brain: Facts, Snacks and Getting on Track”
Lunch and Learns with participating members of the community. Lunch will be provided to those individuals who
register and attend the seminars, Bruckman said.
“This is a chance for seniors to build a relationship with
the community and have their questions answered in a
friendly casual setting,” she said.
The next segment of “Feed Your Brain: Facts, Snacks
and Getting on Track” seminars is “Chill and Grill” Summer
Safety Tips on Wednesday, July 13, at 11 a.m. sponsored by
Carington Park, Lakeside Nursing and Rehab and Tridia
Hospice. Guests will learn how to stay safe and healthy (and
cool!). Our speakers will offer all kinds of senior friendly
activities and fun ways to stay safe and active this summer.
Some of the other seminars we will offer this summer are:
—Wednesday, July 13, Chill and Grill, 11 a.m.
—Wednesday, Aug. 17, We will do something with
peaches, 11 a.m.
—Wednesday, Sept. 21, Whole Grains, 11 a.m.
—October – TBD
—November - TBD
—Wednesday, Dec. 21, Heart Health and Bingo, 11 a.m.
Registration, which is required to attend these free seminars, can be done by calling the Ashtabula Senior Center
at 440-998-6750.
“Be sure to register early; these seminars have become
very popular and are limited to 25 guests,” Bruckman said.

reserve your seat.

There will be two half-hour sessions of 10 preschoolers per
session: 1:30 p.m. and 2 p.m. Preschoolers must be registered for one time slot only.
Twenty visual arts students in grades 1-4 will be
guided by Meeghan Humphrey. She will emphasize the
link between literature and art, using award-winning books
as examples.
Kim Godfrey will direct 15 kids in 5th-7th grade through
improvisation exercises to help them generate ideas and
rehearsal skills. They will learn the mechanics of writing
and rehearsing for a production.
“We are excited about this partnership with the
Ashtabula Arts Center and are looking forward to other
opportunities to work with them,” said Penny Neubauer,
Assistant Director. “It’s such a logical connection, the arts
and literature.”
Students must preregister. Parents should call 9979341 to sign-up their children.
Lucky the Jack Russell Terrier
photos by Bob Soltys
GENEVA-ON-THE-LAKE - A local photographer’s dog
has written a book that includes a chapter celebrating
summer visits to Geneva on the Lake summer tradition
Eddie’s Grill.
With some help from Bob Soltys, his Dad, Lucky the Jack
Russell Terrier recounts his adventures across America.
Illustrated with black and white photographs Bob took
during their travels, A Lucky Life begins with Lucky’s long
night and uncertain future: “I don’t know why they did it. It’s not like I crapped on
the floor or watered the carpet.
“But on the night of Sept. 29, 2003, my human drove
me to the South County Shelter in San Diego, removed my
tag, tied me to a light pole in the parking lot, and left me
there in the middle of the night.
“When the shelter staff came to work the next morning,
they untied me and took me in, but my troubles weren’t over
yet. Because money for pet shelters is limited, California
shelters keep pets without tags for only three days.
“The morning of Oct. 3, my time was up. A little before
11 o’clock, one of the staff opened the door to my cage and
reached in, a sad look on her face. My short life passed in
front of my eyes …”
Ever the raconteur, Lucky continues his story, describing moving to Cleveland with his Dad, also answering the
age-old question “Who rescued who?”
A Lucky Life, which lulu.com published on June 9, will
be available through Amazon and in select local bookstores.
In the meantime, copies are available through the photographer’s website, www.bobsoltys.com.

GENEVA-ON-THELAKE – The Geneva-on-theLake Village Council met
June 20 in regular session
to review a batch of proposals bearing on the upcoming summer busy season in
the village, including the
closure of the north lane of
Lake Road during the July
4th fireworks display at the
Geneva-on-the-Lake Municipal Golf Course.
“Last year for the first
time, the village closed off
parking on the north side
of Lake Road to facilitate
safety forces on the Strip,”
Geneva-on-the-Lake Village
Administrator Mark Mizak
said. “Traffic would get so
congested, if the fire department was trying to get from
the west side to east side, it
was a little difficult.”
Mizak said the lane closure worked well for everyone involved and made the
July 4th observance safer
for the entire village.
“We closed off parking
onthe north side of the Strip
so if there’s an emergency,
people could pull off into that
lane and let them by,” he said.
“It worked very, very well.”
Council also made a donation to help the Genevaon-the-Lake Convention
and Visitors Bureau and
the Geneva-on-the-Lake
Kiwanis Club defray expenses stemming from the
fireworks show.
“The village did vote to
donate some money from
village funds – I believe
$1,500,” Mizak said. “It’s
something they do every
year.”
A tire-recycling program
through the City of Geneva
was discussed at council,
with benefits for village residents being a free-to-cheap
way of disposing of old tires
on their property.
“The program is for recycling old tires – even if
they’re on the rim,” Mizak
said. “The people removing
them are keeping it to help
them pay for the disposal. I

JEFFERSON - No, she’s
not retiring, but a loyal customer still wished to honor
hair-stylist Tracy Lake with
a special day in her honor on
Thursday, June 16.
Loyal customer Virginia
Minick organized Tracy
Lake Day in honor of Lake
Effects Hair Salon owner
Tracy Lake. To celebrate the
event, an open house was
held at the salon, located
in Jefferson, featuring light
refreshments followed by
Minick presenting Lake with
a plaque.
“I think it’s absolutely fantastic,” Lake said of
Minick’s plans. “She’s a
sweetheart for doing this.
We’ve had a lot of people
come in.”

Minick said she wanted to
honor Lake for her 27 years
as an “awesome stylist,” for
her going-on 17 years as a
successful businesswoman
and for her continued community support.
“She’s been my hairdresser for 25 years,” Minick said.
“I wanted to do something.
You become friends and you
look forward to getting your
hair done.”
Minick recalled how,
when she went to New Zealand for five months, before
she left, Lake styled her hair
so it could best grow out during that time.
“She’s just been an inspiring, awesome hairdresser,”

believe there’s a certain number that are free, then it’s a
dollar a piece. The City of Geneva received this grant last
year as well – there are some rules involved. For example,
in Ohio, it’s illegal to transport more than ten tires in a
vehicle without a special permit.”
The village will also be participating in a summer lunch
program in partnership with Ashtabula County Community
Action with lunches offered at Geneva Township Park from
June 13 to August 5 from 1-1:30 p.m.
“That’s been going on for years,” Mizak said. “It’s a
program to make sure children are getting meals even in
the summertime and provide them with lunches now that
school is out so they’re getting proper nutrition.”
Council will also be seeking to renew the village’s street
levy this November.
“We have a street levy here in the village that’s expiring,” Mizak said. “This is a renewal – an important thing
to remember about it is the fact it’s a renewal. So, if your
property value went up, that does not mean the taxes you’re
paying for this levy will go up.”
The Concerts in the Park summer music series is also
underway and council discussed the summer schedule of
shows playing at Geneva Township Park Tuesdays at 7 p.m.
“It’ll begin on the 21st,” Mizak said. “The first band is
going to be Two Aces and we’ll have shows every week on
Tuesday through the end of August.”
Minick said. “She deserves
some applause.”
As Lake met with customers, either coming in for an
appointment or just stopping
in to celebrate Lake, she
noticed that many of her
other customers also have
been coming to her for 20plus years.
“I have very wonderful
clientele,” Lake said. “I have
been very blessed.”

The Manna Food Pantry
wants to thank the Jefferson Post Office and all of its
employees, and the entire
Jefferson community, for the
very successful Postal Food
Drive held on May 14.
Carriers picked up 1,758
pounds of food and delivered
it to the pantry.
Because of the generosity
of the community, Manna is
conducting a special summer
food program for children.
All families with children
will be receiving extra bags
of food. We hope this will
help to make up for the loss
of school breakfasts and
lunches.
For other customers of
the pantry, we are increasing the amounts of food
received. All of this is made
possible because of the wonderful support we receive.
Thank you.

Students were offered an opportunity to
submit an essay (unrelated to their mentorship field) on the following topic:
“Two thirds of the earth’s surface is
covered by water, yet only 2.5 percent is
fresh water. What is the importance of
protecting our natural resource – water?
And more specifically, how important do
you think it is to protect our Great Lakes?
What do you see as some major threats to
our fresh water supply and what would
you recommend to keep it safe?”
Essays were graded based on composition, originality, research and presentation.
Leah mentored at Cristal and has been
notified she is the scholarship winner. She
will be attending the University of Akron
in the fall. Congratulations, Leah!
The CAP is a partnership between companies and their neighbors to positively

GRA PREPARING FOR SOCCER CAMP WITH SUPPORT OF COMMUNITY PARTNERS
In just a few short weeks, Grand River Academy is re-launching its
summer tradition of hosting a soccer camp for local children entering
first through eighth grade. With the support of local businesses to reduce
registration costs for families, GRA is excited to welcome young athletes
to its campus in Austinburg to improve their soccer skills and meet new
friends. Community partner sponsors include American Electric, Carter
Lumber, Roto-Rooter and Timberland Builders.
“Learning the game with their peers, kids will have the opportunity to
build camaraderie, sportsmanship, and their own self-confidence as an
athlete,” shares GRA Director of Athletics and Head Soccer Coach Frank
Shreve. A USSF nationally licensed coach and former college coach, Shreve
brings a wealth of knowledge to GRA, from playing accomplishments
that include 3 state championships and a #1 national team ranking in
high school, to coaching experience at Virginia Tech and Mount Union.
The camp will run from Monday, June 20 – Friday, June 24, with days
beginning at 9 a.m. and ending at noon. Athletes will be divided into
training groups based on age and skill level, while the days will include
warm-ups, training stations, snacks, and skills review. For more information on costs and to register online today, please visit www.grandriver.
