hen the Declaration
of Independence was
adopted on July 4, 1776,
the journey toward
independence became real for the
13 colonies that would become the
United States of America. That
document served as the birth
certificate for a new country,
signed by 56 brave people who were
fully aware of the consequences of
making such a declaration. They knew
that it was more than “just words” and
they backed it with hope, determination,
conviction and deep beliefs as well as
with financial and physical action.
Here we are 240 years later, still
growing, still defining what we mean by
“unalienable rights” of: life, liberty and
the pursuit of happiness. From the very
beginning, though, the Fourth of July
has been a special day. Second president
John Adams would have approved of
the traditions that have developed over
the years for celebrating this special day.
He wrote to his wife, Abigail, “It ought
to be celebrated by pomp and parade,
with shows, games, sports, guns, bells,
bonfires and illuminations from one
end of this continent to the other…”
We are REALLY good at following his
suggestions!
The first Fourth of July in what
would become the northeast corner
of the state of Ohio, then known as
the Connecticut Western Reserve,
was celebrated by surveyors July 4,

Not goodbye…
Nothing ever stays the same
forever, and the Cortland News is
undergoing a slight change with this
issue. Sally Lane, who has been writing
for the paper since its beginning in 2004,
and editing since 2007, has decided to
retire as editor, but continue writing
features about Cortland and her usual
front page commentary.
“It’s all about ‘time,’” said Sally.
“My favorite part of working for the CN
has always been the writing. By giving
up the editing and organizing duties, I
can concentrate on covering more local
stories and writing another book about
Cortland.” Sally is also the president of
the Cortland-Bazetta Historical Society,
and knee-deep in sorting through the
Society’s collections to preserve them
for the community.
This is Sally’s 55th year of writing for publications. She began writing
for the Conneaut News Herald when she was 15, and continued writing for
newspapers and magazines during her 22 years as a teacher, as well as
serving as a correspondent and Newspaper in Education Coordinator for
the Warren Tribune.
For the last year Jean Corliss has been the co-editor in preparation for
Sally’s retirement. Previously Jean served as a correspondent for both the
Warren Tribune as well as the Youngstown Business Journal for many years
and has owned a marketing business since 1993. We welcome Jean as the
full editor, and look forward to Sally’s continuing service as a writer and
correspondent.

Garden Fair, Concert and Strawberries
By Sally Lane
Beautiful gardens, activities for
children, a concert that will have
you tapping your toes while eating
strawberries and ice cream…it doesn’t
get much better than this. The annual
Family Garden Fair at the Agriculture
and Family Education Center in
Cortland, hosted by the Trumbull
County Master Gardeners, has become
a summer tradition.
The free event this year is July
20 from 5 to 7 p.m. Kids’ activities
include a planting station where the
children will do a “make and take”
planting, construct a bird feeder
and do a scavenger hunt. Plants
will be also be sold. Hot dogs, chips
and strawberries on ice cream are
being sold by the Cortland-Bazetta
Historical Society, and a concert by the
Cortland Community Band provides
entertainment starting at 6 p.m. It is a
good idea to bring a lawn chair for the
concert.

Lou Wollam Chevrolet wins the 2016
Mark Of Excellence Award
Once again Lou Wollam Chevrolet has won the prestigious “Chevrolet Mark of
Excellence Award” as one of a only a few dealerships to be in the very highest tier
of all Chevrolet dealerships in the country.
The criteria includes looking at every aspect of the dealership and how well they
match up to the high standards set by Chevrolet and GM sales, service, parts, body
shop, business office, customer service – every single employee in the dealership
are all rated and count towards the final tally.
Its service department has more Master Certified Technicians than most larger
dealerships. They fully comply and mostly exceed all of the requirements for
training and licensing required by GM.
The sales department was rated among the best in the country when it comes to
customer satisfaction, fairness of deals, problem solving, inventory, etc. The parts
department was judged on the quantity and quality of its inventory and the ability
to provide parts to not only the service department but also to outside repair shops
and retail customers.
“Everything and anything that goes on here was under the microscope for this
award,” said Tom Fye, sales manager. “And we passed with the highest marks
across the board.”
We are very lucky to have such a high quality business representing us here in
Cortland.

ColorBurst 5K Paint Run
ColorBurst 5K, producers of
paint run events across America, in
conjunction with the Mahoning Valley
Scrappers, announce that a newly
confirmed ColorBurst 5K run will take
place within the grounds of Eastwood
Field on Saturday, July 23. This familyfriendly 5K fun run will be staged
in partnership with the Scrappers
and will be held the same day as the
team’s home game against the Lowell
Spinners.
The CB5K experience brings
people from all walks of life together
in a technicolor burst of energy and
excitement blending color, music and
“good vibes” against the backdrop
of a 5K fun-run suitable for the entire
family. Where this event differs from
the traditional 5Ks is in the two key
elements of fun: amazing music and
gallons of gloriously colored paint. At
each interval along the course, CB5K
crew blast each participant with nontoxic, hypoallergenic, washable, waterbased paint from the sidelines. Aside
from this twist on the typical 5K,
guests will be treated to an interactive
pre-party and post-party at the fully
branded CB5K stage with DJs, MCs,
giveaways and family-focused fun.
The MV Scrappers will be working
alongside main sponsor Fizek to
welcome ColorBurst 5K to Niles and a
portion of the race ticket sale proceeds
will go to the team’s charitable
partner Akron Children’s HospitalMahoning Valley. Tickets are on sale
at colorburst5k.com and there are a
limited number of early bird tickets
available starting at $32.50. Early bird
tickets include a special CB5K t-shirt,
CB5K headband and a personal sized
bottle of color to use on the event day
to color your family or friends. Create
your own team name and register with
friends, or as an individual. As part of
its commitment to making their event
a family-friendly choice, ColorBurst
5K includes one child (12 and under)
registration free with every registered
adult. This is a rain or shine event.

CFD receives patient transport cot
By Chief David Rea, Cortland Fire Department
Cortland Fire Department took
possession of a new patient transport
cot for our newest ambulance on June
16. Usually this would not be news,
however, what makes this noteworthy
is the cost of the equipment and that it
was purchased with grant money from
Ohio Bureau of Workers Compensation
(OBWC). The intention of this grant
is to find and reduce common work
related injuries. For emergency medical
agencies, injuries related to repetitive
lifting are one of the most prevalent.
As we know these injuries can lead to
acute injuries and lifelong disabilities.
As a means to decrease these
claims, OBWC established a grant that
would pay 75 percent of the cost of new
equipment that can be used as a means
of injury reduction. After a needs
assessment, it was determined that a

As stated earlier, the other noteworthy
item was the cost.
The total cost of the project was
$44,110.92 of which OBWC contributed
$33,083.19 leaving the remainder to be
covered by the city. Of this, another
$3,500 was obtained from the Ohio
Emergency Medical Services Training
and Equipment Grant through the Ohio
Department of Emergency Medical
Services leaving a balance of $7,527.73
for the city.
My hope is that this new addition
helps reduce acute injuries, and
provides some relief of the lifelong
problems they may arise as the years
of lifting add up. I must thank Captain
Price for writing and administering this
grant.

Summer is finally upon us. This
time of year means longer days, more
outdoor activities, and family vacations,
which all result in less time at home.
While we all look forward to this season
and love being out of the house after a
long winter, summer also brings with it
an increase in property crimes including
burglaries.
A burglary occurs once every 15
seconds, resulting in approximately
1 in every 36 homes in the U.S. being
broken into this year (A Secure
Life®). A common misconception is
that criminals prefer to work at night
because it is easier for them to hide.
The truth is that most burglaries occur
between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. because this
is the time of day that most people are
at work or running errands; an empty
house is what a burglar wants. Because
of the nice weather, people are tempted
to keep their windows and doors open,
which makes for an easy entry point for
unwanted intruders.
One common tactic is to approach
the front door and check the door
handle, and if it’s locked they might
knock to see if anyone answers the door.
If no one answers, they may kick in the
front door or find a door in the rear of
the residence to gain entry. After entry
into your home, the first target room
in the house is the master bedroom,
and the most sought after items are
cash, jewelry, electronics and guns. On
average, a burglary takes between 8 to
15 minutes. Keep in mind, burglars are
looking for an easy target – a place they
can enter and flee quickly with minimal
resistance.
Now that we know how a typical
burglary suspect operates, we can work
toward preventing them. One of the
easiest ways to reduce the chance of
a break-in is to lock and deadbolt all
doors and windows when you’re not in
the home. Remember even a window
air conditioning unit can make for an
easy point of entry. Beyond simply
locking doors, one of the best options
is installing a security system. Here in
Bazetta Township, our officers respond
to alarm drops with remarkable
speed, often within 1 to 5 minutes and
sometimes even before the homeowner
knows the alarm has tripped. Other
deterrents include owning a dog and
planting bushes and shrubs in front of
windows because most burglars do not
want extra hassles when it comes to
entering the residence. Finally, get to
know your neighbors to have extra eyes
on your home when you’re not there.
Burglars often look just like me
or you and don’t fit the stereotype
of all black clothing and a ski mask.
Remember, “If you see something,
say something.” If it looks suspicious,
call the police. Even if it turns out to
be nothing, it’s better to call and let us
investigate rather than find out later a
crime occurred. Stay vigilant and have
a safe and fun summer.
Cortland Police awarded $30,000 grant
from state of Ohio
The Cortland Police Department
has received a $30,000 grant from the
Ohio Developmental Services Agency
to renovate and build a temporary
holding facility within the department.
The funds were awarded as part of the
Local Government Safety Capital Grant
Program available to eligible police,
fire and EMS related organizations
throughout the state of Ohio on May
19. The Cortland Police Department
was one of only 58 grants that were
awarded in the state and the only
approved project within Trumbull
County.
Awarded funds will be used
to renovate the police station to
accommodate an updated holding
cell and change the upper half of the
building to increase office and booking
area layout. “I am very pleased that
the committee saw fit to award us the
$30,000 towards the upgrades,” said
Cortland Police Chief Tom Andrews.
The police department budgeted for
the renovation within the 2016 budget
but speculated the whole project would
probably not be completed until 2018.
“When I heard about the grant last
winter I decided to delay construction
to see if we could obtain the funding.”
In late May the chief learned they
had been approved for the funding.
“Landing the grant will allow us to
possibly make all the needed changes
by the end of the year or at the latest
shortly into 2017. This also saves
taxpayer money as we can renovate
and update our facility without using
$30,000 of tax dollars from the citizens
of Cortland.”
The changes to the department
will predominantly include adding
an updated holding facility that will
provide bathroom, sleeping and
enhanced safety features. “We have
seen an increase in the length of time
and frequency required to hold an
arrested subject before releasing,”
said Andrews. “Every agency is
becoming busier and the Trumbull
County Jail needs to limit its intake
numbers as well.” By renovating the
holding cell area within building,
other changes will fall into place.
There will be increased office space for
the administrative assistant, filing and
computer systems as well as officer
work areas. “The Police Department
building is 30 years old and has been
used every hour of every day since
it was built. This grant allows us
to make needed upgrades to move
the structure into the next 30 years.”
Construction is expected to begin later
this summer.
Russell is a 2-year-old Coonhound mix.
He was selected to be part of the Caring
Companions Program. Russell will be
spending the next nine weeks learning basic
obedience and commands like sit, down, stay
and many more. He entered the program on
May 11. When Russell comes back from CCP,
he will also be housebroken, crate trained and
will walk well on a leash. He is available for
pre-adoption while in the program. He will graduate on July 13. Russell’s adoption
fee is $200 and includes his training as well as his neuter, vaccinations, heartworm
testing, microchip and more.
Mango is a 4-year-old Domestic Shorthair
mix. He was found as a stray and brought to
AWL. Upon his arrival, Mango had an injury to
one of his paws. After many vet visits, antibiotics,
x-rays and surgery, Mango is healthy and placed
up for adoption. He is a friendly guy that loves
meeting new people. Mango’s adoption fee is
$20.15 and includes his neuter, vaccinations,
FeLV & FIV testing and a microchip with
registration.
Shelter hours are Tuesday through Saturday
from noon until 6 p.m. Adoptions close at 5:30
p.m. The shelter is closed on Sundays and Mondays. AWL shelter is located at 812
Youngstown Kingsville Road SE in Vienna, across the street from Avalon at Squaw
Creek. For more information call, 330-539-5300 or visit www.awlrescueme.com.
Priceless yard sale coming again to Cortland
By Jean Bolinger
Plan now to check out the community wide “priceless” yard sale that will be
held on Saturday, August 13 from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. at Prince of Peace Church, 490
N. High St. This is the second year for the sale that benefits Heifer, International.
Heifer is a world-wide effort to alleviate poverty and hunger (heifer.org) and has
been in existence for over 70 years.
With few exceptions, items are not priced. The organizers of the sale, LOAF (the
local ecumenical group Lakeview Outreach and Fellowship) rely on the generous
hearts of the shoppers to donate a fair price for items selected. Last year $4,200 was
raised from the sale alone and that amount was supplemented by other donations
so that LOAF could send a check for $5,500 to Heifer.
The cornerstone of Heifer is a program of providing livestock to families who
then benefit from the eggs, milk, feathers, wool, honey, meat, etc. given by the
animals. Each recipient of a Heifer gift passes on some of the next generation of
animals to others in the community. All families who receive Heifer gifts are taught
proper ways to prepare for and take care of their
animals.
Volunteers are needed to help set up for the
sale on Friday, August 12 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. as
well as to assist shoppers on Saturday, August 13
from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. If you can donate an hour or
two please email me at [email protected]
with your name and phone number. Also, we are
looking for members of the community who would
like to sing or play gospel type songs for 15-20
minutes anytime during the sale. We will have a
sound system in place.

deeply involved with helping people.
Various Masonic related groups in the
United States contribute more than $2
million every day to charity --- with the
90,000 Freemasons in Ohio providing
approximately $15 million in charitable
giving annually.
Among the notable contributions
by Ohio Freemasons is their support for
Special Olympics Ohio Summer Games
in Columbus, an extensive number of
college scholarships, and the elderly
care and needy family support provided
through their charitable foundation.
Cortland Masonic Lodge has made
contributions of money and time to
several local charities and organizations
through the years, since they were
chartered in 1883. In recent years, they
have sponsored blood drives for the
American Red Cross every other month
throughout the year, and they make
numerous donations including those to
the Warren Family Mission, Salvation
Army, Wounded Warriors, American
Cancer Society, Shriners Hospitals,
Rainbow Girls, Job’s Daughters, Boy
Scouts, Girls State, Boys State, Special
Olympics, Betty’s Angels and Earth

National Pulmonary Hypertension
Association honors Cortland woman
Raises over $100,000 while suffering from disease
Diagnosed in 2011, Nicole Stafford of
Cortland, has Pulmonary Hypertension
or PH, a disease of the blood vessels that
carry blood from the heart to the lungs
and has no known cure. Over time the
heart weakens and can no longer do its
job often leading to heart failure. Recently
she was admitted to the Cleveland Clinic
after a number of weeks of increased
suffering from the disease.
The serious effects of PH have not
stopped Nicole from working to raise
more than $100,000 for the Pulmonary
Hypertension Association since being
diagnosed.
Recently the national
organization named Nicole “The
Outstanding PH Citizen of the Year.”
Because the award ceremony in Dallas
conflicted with the 4th Annual Nicole
PHriends PHAssociation Golf Outing
Scramble at Mahoning Country Club
that was held on June 25, she declined to
attend so she could devote what energy
she has remaining to the local event.
Because of the importance of the award,
representatives of the PHA decided to
attend Nicole’s golf outing and presented
her with the award in front of her friends
and supporters.
Married with a young daughter,
Nicole explained that the symptoms are
pretty severe. “But I’m passionate about
this cause and it would have taken a
lot more than pain and fatigue to keep
me from helping make the golf outing
successful.” Donations can be made
by mailing a check made out to PH
Association to ATTN: Nicole Stafford,
P.O. Box 425, Cortland, OH 44410, or
online at https://www.phassociation.

Celebrate the Fourth of July!
By Nina List Euans
It is my hope that we take time
this year to remember what the Fourth
of July is: America’s Independence
Day, celebrating our Declaration of
Independence, in which we declared
ourselves, in Lincoln’s words, “a new
nation, conceived in Liberty, and
dedicated to the proposition that all
men are created equal.”
The holiday would have started
on July 2 if John Adams had had his
way. It was on July 2, 1776, that the
Continental Congress voted to declare
independence from Great Britain. On
July 4, Congress approved the final text
of the Declaration. As Adams predicted
in a letter to his wife, Abigail:
The second day of July 1776 will be
the most memorable epoch in the history of
America. I am apt to believe that it will be
celebrated by succeeding generations as the
great anniversary festival. It ought to be
commemorated as the day of deliverance,
by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty.
It ought to be solemnized with pomp and
parade, with shows, games, sports, guns,
bells, bonfires, and illuminations, from one
end of this continent to the other, from this
time forward forever more.
Whether you celebrate on the Second
or the Fourth of July, the objective is that
as an American, you set the day apart
from all others, in observance with
respect, while participating in festivities
as described by John Adams. As equally
important as the celebrating, and just
as patriotic, each of us is responsible
for teaching the younger generations,
reminding your generation and those
older, what the true meaning is of the
Fourth of July. Engage in conversation
with those young and old; tell them
what having your independence means
to you.
Have a Happy and Safe Fourth of
July!
Recipes from Louise List’s Kitchen
Red, White & Blue layered drink
By Nina List Euans
Recipe
Cranberry Juice or Hawaiian Punch
Blue G2 Gatorade
Sprite Zero
Ice
Colored Sugar **
Pretty Glasses
**Directions for Colored Sugar:
4 oz. sugar crystals
3 drops food dye
zip top baggie
1. Mix sugar and dye gently in a zip top baggie. (Use a heavy-duty
freezer bag or double bag… those pesky sugar crystals will break a
thin bag.)
2. Store in bag until ready to use. If sugar sticks just gently, break apart…
it should break up easily.
Note: If you use gel colors instead of liquid colors (I’ve used them
with great success), mix a drop or two of gel with a drop of water on a
spoon and then add it to the bag of sugar crystals.
Directions for the Drink:
1. Dip rim of glass in water and then into the colored sugar.
2. Gently add the ice to the glass so you don’t disturb the colored sugar.
3. Starting with the drink with the most sugar (cranberry juice or
Hawaiian Punch); fill the glass 1/3 full.
4. Then move on to the drink with a lower sugar content (G2). Pour this
slowly and gently over the ice so that it does not disturb the cranberry
juice, glass should now be 2/3 full.
5. Finally, use the drink with the lowest sugar content (Sprite Zero) and
pour the same way until the glass is full.
Please note:
•
The drink works by using premade juices and sodas that have
different molecular weights. To get the soda to float on top you have
to use a diet version.
•
Another important tip is to take your time! This is not something you
just pour into the glass. It still doesn’t take much time, but slowly
pouring is key to have the layers not totally mix together.
•
Now that you know the secret of layered drinks, you can make them
for any special occasion with your own color and flavor combinations!!

Do you take the time and watch
butterflies in your garden float
randomly from one flower to another,
back and forth seemingly with no
pattern? Well looks are deceiving. This
delicate creature is searching for food by
tasting the flowers and plants with its
feet. By landing on the different plants,
a butterfly can find a good food source
or a good place to lay eggs. So if you
want to attract butterflies to your home
or garden, the best way is to feed them.
Adult butterflies feed on flower
nectar. As you plan your butterfly
garden, be sure to provide nectar plants
from early spring to fall, starting with
lilacs and ending with asters. Most
butterflies are active in mid to late
summer and flowers with multiple
florets that produce abundant nectar are
perfect; double flowers are bred more
for appearance, not nectar production. The adults will lay eggs on specific
plants that will be a food source for the
hatched caterpillars. The monarchs are
migratory, so they are visible for only
part of the season, other butterflies will
visit more often.
You can also make a feeding
station—a what? Have some bananas? Put the fruit outside to lure the
butterflies, many species like the juice
of rotting fruit. To make a station, peel,
cut and slightly smash a banana and
place it on an old plate, or pot saucer
and put in a sunny location, keeping
it moist. Other fruit can be used like
over ripe peaches, mangos, oranges and
strawberries. This mix may not appeal
to us, but the butterflies love this fruit
salad. Remove and replace the mix
weekly.
Before they were butterflies, they
were caterpillars with very specific
tastes. Queen and Monarch caterpillars
like Milkweed, black swallowtails like
Parsley, Viceroys like Willows, and
Painted Ladies like Pearly Everlasting.
Growing larval plants can attract
butterflies to lay their eggs in your
garden. Here are some common
host plants for caterpillars: violets,
snapdragons, toadflax, hollyhocks,
false indigo and broccoli, kale and
turnips to name a few.
There is a long list of perennials
and shrubs that are host plants for
butterflies, like Coneflower, Blazing
star, Coreopsis and Joe Pye weed, to
Azalea, Butterfly bush and Blueberry. But annuals also play a role in attracting
butterflies to your home. A container
full of annuals like Angelonia,
Fanflower and Calibrachoa is an easy
way to bring butterflies. Provide
shelter as butterflies like to feed and lay
eggs away from wind gusts. Provide a
windbreak of trees or shrubs if possible
or plant tall plants at the back and sides
of the garden for protection. Wet sand
or a mud puddle nearby encourages
“puddling.” While they get sugar from
the nectar, other nourishment is needed
for reproduction. By sipping from the
puddles, they ingest salts and minerals
from the soil. Puddling is seen mostly
in males.
A sunny garden full of vivid red,
yellow, orange, pink and purple flowers
are colors butterflies look for when they
are hungry. And since their eyesight is
poor, drifts of color will help them find
the nectar plants. Try to choose flowers
blooming in mid-summer to fall; that is
when you will have the most butterflies
looking for food.
Happy gardening.

SCOPE and Second Harvest Food Bank
partner to feed seniors
SCOPE Senior Services of Trumbull
County and Second Harvest Food Bank
of the Mahoning Valley have partnered
to provide free groceries through
the summer to the elderly who are
homebound and shut in.
SCOPE has been operating a
“Traveling Pantry” food truck along
with the Warren Family Mission, which
delivers free groceries to the elderly
in Trumbull County since July 2015.
Second Harvest Food Bank provides
food to hundreds of non-profits and
food pantries in the Mahoning Valley
to be distributed through those local
agencies.
Since the SCOPE food truck is one of
a kind in Ohio, it was ideal for the two
organizations to team up to provide this
service to homebound elderly citizens.
SCOPE currently delivers three days a
week all over Trumbull County to over
150 citizens every two weeks. The bulk
of those served live in a “food desert”
as outlined by the U.S. Department of
Agriculture. That designation accounts
for half of the city of Warren and many
rural areas within Trumbull County
that are not in close proximity to a full
service grocery store.
Second Harvest Food Bank was
able to get the groceries through a grant
from the Commodity Supplemental
Food Program (CSFP) that works to
improve the health of low income
elderly people by supplementing their
diets with nutritious foods. Second
Harvest delivers three pallets full of
food boxes every two weeks throughout
the summer to the SCOPE Senior
Services headquarters at the Warren
SCOPE Center. Then the food boxes,
which are enough to feed citizens for
two weeks, are loaded and delivered
through six routes that serve the elderly
across Trumbull County.
For seniors interested in receiving
groceries, please contact SCOPE Senior
Services at 330-399-8846 to get a food
truck application.

When Breath Becomes Air By Paul Kalanithi
Each of us at some point has to face
our own mortality. That is certainly
becoming more evident for me as I see
my 80th year approaching in the not
too distant future. Paul Kalanithi was,
however, a neurosurgeon in his 30s
when he received the diagnosis of Stage
4 lung cancer.
Always interested in literature
and having aspirations of becoming a
writer, Paul earned both a BA and an
MA in English literature as well as a BA
in human biology. Further studies led
him to the University of Cambridge in
England and then to the Yale School of
Medicine. As he experienced different
tracks in the medical experience he
became fascinated with the workings of
the brain and set out on the long course
to become a neurosurgeon. It was while
in his year as head resident at Stanford
that the diagnosis was given.
With great aspirations to do research
and to start a family with his physician
wife, Lucy, Paul suddenly had to switch
from the role of doctor to patient,
from one who gave advice to one who
listened. His writing career could wait
no longer so he began this memoir.
Fortunately, he finished it before he died
and it is a truly moving and profound
look at life from one who has studied the
brain, “the most critical place for human
identity.”

Lakeview represented at state track competition
By Cassie Smith
On Saturday, June 5, Jackie Smith, a May 2016 graduate of Lakeview High School,
was the sole Lakeview athlete at the 2016 State Track and Field Meet, held in Jesse
Owens Memorial Stadium at The Ohio State University in Columbus. Jackie competed
in pole vault, placing ninth out of sixteen competitors. She is the first female in school
history to attend the state competition for pole vaulting, and now holds the school
record with a height of 10 foot even.
Under the staff of head girl’s track coach Cindy Dickey, assistant coach Jason
Senedak, boy’s head coach Mark Swinning and pole vault coach Pat Smith, Jackie set
five personal records during the 2016 track season.
As a result of her hard work and constant progression throughout the season,
Jackie was offered the opportunity to walk on to Wright State University’s track and
field program, where she will pole vault while studying computer science.
Jackie would like to extend a thank you to her family (better known as the “Pit
Crew”), friends, coaches and the rest of the community for supporting and encouraging
her throughout the season.
Lakeview tennis star signs NLOI
By Sally Lane
The end of Zach Teffner’s
successful high school tennis
career came with an offer to
begin his college tennis career at
the University of Mount Union
in Alliance. The four-year letter
winner at Lakeview signed a
National Letter of Intent June
20. His parents Sophia and Joe
Teffner were among Zach’s
grandparents, friends, coaches
and school personnel to witness
and celebrate the signing.
His tennis coach is Stephanie Hickey, and she reports that as the leader on the
tennis team Zach has an overall four year Singles record of 49–11. In his senior year his
record was 13–1 (does not include Doubles). He was a
Singles State qualifier at the State tournament in 2015,
and was the Youngstown Division II Section Tennis
Tournament Champion in 2015 and 2016. This is the
first time a Lakeview player has won the sectional
tournament. Zach’s record also includes being a fouryear District Qualifier (2013 and 2014 in Doubles,
and 2015 and 2016 in Singles). He was All American
Conference First Team all for yours, and All American
Conference Player of the year in 2015 and 2016.
He says he is undecided what his major will be in
college, but we know that whatever he chooses and
wherever he goes, he will be raising a “racquet.” Good
luck, and congratulations.
Pictured is Zach Teffner signing a National Letter
of Intent as parents Sophia and Joe Teffner look on

show features tons of red scrunchies,
heartfelt, sassy and homicidal
moments, as well as catchy tunes that
will leave you dying of laughter. This
production does have a PG-13 rating
and is not suitable for all audiences.
Under the direction of Joe Asente
of the Millennial Theatre Company,
the show runs July 22, 23 and 24 with
performance times at 8 p.m. on Friday

This production is performed cabaret
style, with some audience members
seated on the stage.
Heathers is based off of the
1989 film starring Winona Ryder
and Christian Slater. For more

American Sewing Guild July schedule
6 facts you might not know about Medicare
More than 50 years ago, the federal government established programs designed
to help Americans afford health care services, called Medicare and Medicaid. Since
both of these programs involve many variables, they can be somewhat complex. To
provide insight into how the coverage works, here are six facts you might not know
about Medicare:
1. Medicare and Medicaid provide most of the same services, but for different
people. Medicare provides services for those age 65 and over and with other
qualifying conditions, while Medicaid is a program intended for lowerincome Americans based on financial need. The government continues to
evolve and expand the programs to match the ever-changing health care
environment.
2. Medicare coverage has four parts. Each part covers different categories of
medical expenses. As you look into Medicare, you may see the term “original
Medicare.” This term refers to what is now called Part A and Part B.
• Part A is the hospital insurance portion, which covers inpatient stays in
hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, hospice facilities and sometimes also
covers home-based health care services. Depending on your situation, you
may automatically be enrolled in Parts A and B, or you may need to enroll.
• Part B covers doctor visits, durable medical equipment, home health services
and qualified preventive services, among other related expenses.
• Part C (Medicare Advantage plans) provides Part A, Part B and usually
prescription drug coverage from private insurers. You must be enrolled in
Part A and Part B before you can receive Part C coverage.
• Part D covers outpatient prescription drug coverage from private insurers.
You must be enrolled in Part A or Part B before you can receive Part D
coverage.
3. Everyone can enroll in Medicare – eventually. There are three different
times when you can sign up for Medicare Parts A and B:
• Initial enrollment period: Once you reach age 65, you may enroll within
three months on either side of your birthday month.
• General enrollment period: If you don’t sign up during your initial enrollment
period, you have the option to enroll each subsequent year between January
1 and March 31.
• Special enrollment period: You may get started with Medicare at any
age if you experience a qualifying condition. Qualifying conditions may
include disabilities, certain cancers or end-stage diseases. After your initial
enrollment period ends, you may have a chance to enroll in Medicare during
a special enrollment period due to a qualifying event such as moving away
from your existing coverage or losing coverage from an employer.
4. Medicare is not free for most of us. While Part A comes with no monthly
premium if you have at least a 10 year history of paying Medicare taxes,
you will be responsible for deductibles and coinsurance, unless you qualify
for help. For example, the deductible for 2016 is $1,288 for each benefit
period, with varying coinsurance depending on the length of stay. The Part
B premium costs $104.90 per month in 2016. Premiums can be higher for
beneficiaries with incomes that exceed specific thresholds.
5. Original Medicare operates without networks and caps. With original
Medicare, there are no networks to worry about. You’re free to go to any
doctor or hospital that accepts Medicare, including outside of your home
state. In addition, original Medicare does not limit your annual costs. Health
care bills owed (due to coinsurance) continue to grow all year if you don’t
have supplemental insurance to help manage these expenses. This is in
contrast to Medicare Advantage plans, which operate around the concept
of networks.
6. After you enroll in Medicare, you may need supplemental insurance. While
Medicare covers a variety of expenses, there are limitations to its coverage.
Therefore, you may need additional coverage depending on your current or
future health needs. Carefully review information about what expenses each
part covers before enrolling, and be sure to ask other insurance providers
how their coverage complements with Medicare.
The federal government and most states provide resources to help you understand
your options and guide you through the Medicare enrollment process. It’s good to be
prepared – start learning more today so you’re ready when you become eligible for
Medicare coverage.

College students and parents: What you need to know
about the 2017-2018 FAFSA
The math always favors the casino
winning it back
Dear Mark: I enjoyed your
response last week when you played
referee on what Gary R. thought was
a misdeal when the dealer had a 17,
kept hitting, busted, but the dealer
still took his bet. I am sure you would
agree that not all casinos would have
scooped up his wager. Anyhow, I
have a protocol question relating to
what should have happened next.
That one extra card dealt now makes
the deck completely out of sequence
from when the dealer first shuffled
the cards. What is the policy now?
Does the dealer keep dealing or
immediately shuffle up? Tom O.
Again, Tom, I played referee to
Gary R’s inquiry based on the rules
and regulations of the casinos where
I had worked. I kept how I would
have handled his scenario out of my
answer. This week time for a disclaimer:
When working on the inside, Yours
Truly did not necessarily make every
decision According to Hoyle. I tried
my best to remain consistent, but I
will also admit there were times I
would drift from black and white into
gray.
I had a strong belief that customer
service was paramount and border
decisions should favor the player
unless the mistake was illegal or
egregious. I would constantly ask
myself “do we want lose to a customer
for life over a $50 slip-up?” The math
always favors the casino, and when
you show a little generosity and let
the customer keep what technically
isn’t theirs, the house still ends up
getting it all back within a hand or two
anyway. Believe me when I tell you
that I have seen plenty of customers
get into a tizzy over less, cash out,
and never be seen again. As to your “what happens next”
question, had Gary R. been sitting
on a single or double deck game, the
dealer should have shuffled up after
the incident. If it were a shoe or auto
shuffler, typically you would just
play on.
Dear Mark: Here in Reno,
casinos have multi-game machines
that offer different games like Video
Poker, Blackjack, Keno, etc. Do all
of these games operate based on the
same odds as a table game? Andy R. Reno, and similarly all gaming
jurisdictions use random number
generators for player results on all
electronic games. In Nevada, it is a
state law that any electronic game
that uses representations of cards,
dice, keno balls, even a roulette ball
spinning round and round must be
based on fair odds. To achieve the
same odds as that of a hand dealt
game, the game maker uses a random
number generator for each game
within the same machine. Dear Mark: I tend to do better at
slots when I play during the day. Is
there a particular time of day that it
is better to play slots than another?
Janice B.
No, Janice. The odds remain the
same regardless of the time of day. Gambling Wisdom of the
Week: “Numbers have souls, and
you can’t help but get involved with
them in a personal way.” – Paul
Auster, The Music of Change (1990)
“What’s changing?” you ask, well, starting with the 2017-2018 Free Application for
Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) these changes will be in effect:
• You’ll be able to submit your FAFSA earlier. You can file your 2017-2018 FAFSA
as early as October 1, 2016, rather than beginning on January 1, 2017. The
earlier submission date will be a permanent change, enabling you to complete
and submit a FAFSA as early as October 1 every year.
• You’ll use earlier income and tax information. Beginning with the 2017-18
FAFSA, students will be required to report income and tax information from
an earlier tax year. For example, on the 2017-18 FAFS, students and parents,
as appropriate, will report your 2015 income and tax information, rather than
your 2016 income and tax information.
The transition to early submission and using earlier tax information can be
summarized as follows:
School Year Student Attends College
7/1/15 - 6/30/16
Submission Dates
Income and Tax Information
for FAFSA Use Year
1/1/15 – 6/30/16
2014
7/1/16 – 6/30/17
1/1/16 – 6/30/17
2015
7/1/17 – 6/30/18
10/1/16 – 6/30/18
2015
7/1/18 – 6/30/19
10/1/17 – 6/30/19
2016
Note that for the school year 7/1/17-6/30/18 you will use the income and tax
information for the year ended 12/31/15, the same information you used to prepare
the FAFSA for school year 7/1/16-6/30/17.
Benefits to these changes include:
• The FAFSA will ask for older income and tax information, so you will have
already done your taxes by the time you fill out your FAFSA and you won’t
need to estimate your tax information and then go back into your FAFSA form
later to update it.
• If your taxes are done by the time you complete your FAFSA, you may be able
to use the IRS Data Retrieval Tool (IRS DRT) to automatically import your tax
information into your FAFSA. To learn more about this visit: StudentAid.gov/
irsdrt
• With the earlier availability, you may feel less pressure with not having to rush
to get the taxes done and you’ll have more time to explore and understand
financial aid options and apply for aid before the state’s and school’s deadlines.
Check your state and school deadlines so that you don’t miss out on any aid.
State deadlines can be found at fafsa.gov and check school websites for the
individual school deadlines.
Keep in mind that you must report the information the FAFSA asks for. Do not
use another year’s income and tax information. Use the correct information according
to the instructions. If the family income has changed substantially from the prior year,
talk to the financial aid office at your school to discuss the family’s situation. Note that
the FAFSA asks for marital status as of the day you fill it out. If your marital status
changed in the time the taxes were filed and the filing of the FAFSA, you may need to
add or subtract income from the tax return information accordingly.
Be sure to list any schools you are considering applying to and the FAFSA
information will be sent to them. Later, if you decide to apply to additional schools not
listed on the FAFSA, you can log bck in at fafsa.gov and add those schools.
To get more information and held with the FAFSA visit StudentAid.gov/fafsa. As
you fill out your FAFSA at fafsa.gov, you can refer to help text for every question and at
certain times of the day you can also chat online with a customer service representative.

ODA announces 2016
local agricultural
easements approved
for purchase
Includes Trumbull
County
The Ohio Department of
Agriculture (ODA) has announced
approval for local sponsors to
purchase agricultural easements
on 62 family farms representing
7,919 acres in 31 counties, including
Trumbull County.
Local sponsoring organizations,
which
include
land
trusts,
counties and local Soil and Water
Conservation Districts, receive
funding from the Clean Ohio Fund
to manage the Local Agricultural
Easement
Purchase
Program
(LAEPP). The easement ensures
farms remain permanently in
agricultural
production.
The
program supports the state’s largest
industry, food and agriculture.
To be eligible for the program,
farms must be larger than 40 acres
or next to a preserved farm, actively
engaged in farming, participate
in the Current Agricultural Use
Valuation program, demonstrate
good stewardship of the land, have
support from local government
and not be in close proximity to
development. Landowners may use
the proceeds of the easement in any
way they wish, but most reinvest it
in their farm operation.
Communities
wishing
to
participate next year can apply to
be Certified Local Sponsors between
September 14 and October 14, 2016.
Certified Local Sponsors assist
landowners interested in selling
easements with the application
process, easement closing and
monitoring, and are ODA’s valued
partners in carrying out the Ohio
Farmland Preservation program.
Funding for the state’s farmland
preservation efforts is derived from
the Clean Ohio Conservation Fund,
approved by voters in 2008, and used
to purchase agricultural easements
from willing sellers through a
competitive process. From 2002 to
2015, 294 family farms in 55 counties
have collectively preserved 52,419
acres in agricultural production.
Permanent easements preserved
under related programs bring the
total acres currently preserved in
Ohio to 63,049.

The truth about hot peppers
By Melinda Myers
Don’t be afraid to add a little spicy heat
to your meals this season by growing a few
hot peppers in the garden or containers. It’s
easier than you think and many of the hot
pepper myths floating around the garden
are simply not true.
Don’t worry about your hot peppers
heating up your sweet peppers. Peppers
are normally self-pollinated. If an insect
happens to move the pollen from a hot to
sweet pepper, it will not affect the flavor or
heat of this year’s harvest. If you save the
seeds from a cross-pollinated pepper and
plant them in next year’s garden, the plants
they produce may have hot or sweet fruit (or
a little of both), but only time will tell.
And don’t assume all green peppers
are sweet or you will be in for a surprise.
Jalapenos are typically harvested when
green and others, like habanero, Anaheim
and Poblano are hot, whether harvested
when green or red. You’ll also find that hot
peppers can be yellow, orange, brown and
of course red.
You can turn down the heat when
preparing your favorite recipes, too.
Contrary to popular belief, all the heat in
hot peppers does not come from the seeds.
While partially true, the majority of the
capsaicin that gives hot peppers their heat
is in the white membrane that houses the
seeds. When the seeds are growing they may
also be coated with extra capsaicin from the
membrane. So remove the white membrane
and the seeds, just to be safe, if you want to
turn down the heat.
The spicy heat of hot peppers is
measured in Scoville Heat Units. The ratings
are based on the amount of sugar water
needed to neutralize the spicy heat in the
extracted capsaicin that has been diluted
in an alcohol-based extract. A panel of five
taste testers decides when the spicy heat
has been neutralized and then assigns
the rating. Today many companies use a
chemical process (liquid chromatography)
but translate their results into the popular
Scoville heat units.
The Scoville heat unit ratings vary
from one type of hot pepper to another,
with Poblano rating between 1,000 to
2,000, jalapenos 2,500 to 6,000, habaneros
at 100,000 to 300,000 and one of the hottest,
the ghost pepper, at 1,000,000 to 2,200,000
Scoville heat units. Check online or the
Homegrown with Bonnie Plants for iOs and
Android) for the Scoville ratings, growing
tips and a Pepper Chooser to help you pick
the best varieties to grow. Ratings may also
vary from individual plants within a specific
type based on individual plant differences
and the growing conditions.
Whatever kind you grow, be sure to
label hot peppers when planting, harvesting
and storing to avoid any mix-ups. The sweet
banana pepper, for example, can easily be
confused with hot banana. This could make
for an unwelcome surprise when preparing,
serving and eating.
Also, consider wearing rubber gloves
and avoid touching your face and eyes
when working with hot peppers, as they can
burn. Wash your hands, utensils and cutting
boards when finished to avoid any future
issues.
And don’t worry if you are having a
bad day when planting your hot peppers.
Contrary to some old adages, planting hot
peppers when you’re angry won’t make the
peppers hotter, but unknowingly taking a
bite of a hot pepper may very well change
your mood.

1796. They toasted the United
States, the state of Connecticut,
the president and on and on
until the campfires died down
and they fell asleep. In 1803,
John Stark Edwards wrote in a
diary that he attended a ball in
Warren, where “four years since
there was scarcely a trace of
human hand or anything within
15 miles of it.” The dance lasted
until early morning of the next
day.
Fast forward to 1976,
America’s bicentennial, for a Mickey and Minnie Mouse were special guests at
little local Independence Day the 1979 annual Fourth of July Picnic held at the
history. Carol Harrison was Bazetta Township Park. Pictured with the cartoon

Picnic at Bazetta Township Audrea Hart.
Park. It was such a success that the picnics continued for another 10 years. “It
was a party for everyone, not just kids, but entire families,” said Harrison. There
were adult games like tug-of-war, arm wrestling, and kids’ games like climbing
a greased pole or three-legged races. The emphasis was on old-fashioned
outdoor games.
Entertainment was provided by Irish dancers, the Top Notes, as well
as other musical groups and some people dressed up like favorite cartoon
characters of the day. Ruth Kozlecar’s favorite was everyone gathering around
to sing “Happy birthday, America.” She remembers the picnic as one of the best
events of the summer.
Just how much Fourth of July celebrations are a part of our culture was
brought home when my kids were about 5 and 6 years old. They were at the age
where they loved sparklers and those stinky “snake” capsules that you lit with
a match. We were on our way to a vacation to Nova Scotia and driving through
New Brunswick on July 4. We had been talking about the holiday, not thinking
about where we were, and they were excited about celebrating the Fourth
while on vacation. BUT, we were in Canada! What a letdown! No fireworks,
no parades, no excitement, just another day. We had a picnic, but it wasn’t the
same. Never again would we travel out of country on America’s birthday.
This year we look forward to the 240th birthday of our country. There
will be fireworks in backyards in Cortland, but not public shows. The closest
public fireworks displays will be in Warren after the Packard Band concert on
Mahoning Avenue, or Niles after the Scrappers game or downtown Niles at 10
p.m. as it winds up Independence Day with a tribute to Harry Stevens (he was
the guy who invented that wonderful Fourth of July all-American treat, the
hot dog). There will be picnics with strawberries, cream cheese and blueberry
desserts for a-red, white and blue
touch to the day. Children may chase
fireflies across the backyard.
Writer Erma Bombeck may have
captured the essence of the day with
this quote: “You have to love a nation
that celebrates its independence every
July 4, not with a parade of guns,
tanks and soldiers who file by the
White House in a show of strength
and muscle, but with family picnics
where kids throw Frisbees, the potato
salad gets iffy and the flies die from
happiness. You may think you have
overeaten, but it is patriotism.”
Happy birthday, America!
