Lenape gathering draws committed crowd BY WJ KEACH GAZETTE NEWSPAPERS WAYNE TOWNSHIP – The Ashtabula County Antique Engine Club grounds were the site of a Lenape Nation meeting. Billed as the 12th Annual Powwow Honoring Our Ancestors, the United Eastern Nation Lenape Nation gathered from various states on June 17, 18 and 19. The Powwow opened with a solemn ceremonial dance and drumming honoring Lenape veterans and ancestors. United States Armed forces veterans were invited to join Lenape veterans to enter the Sacred Circle. A small fire burned as the procession of about forty people slowly made their way around the circle. Guests removed their hats and watched in respectful silence as the veterans were honored in the fifteen minute ceremony. Guests were asked not to take photographs until the ceremony ended.

Earlier this year during a heavy wind and rainstorm sliding doors and siding of the garage on Route 322 was heavily damaged. Temporary repairs were made, but township officials filed an insurance claim to get the needed major repairs done, said Trustee Gary Babb. “We hired local contractor, Ray Shetler Roofing Co. and I’m donating my labor and some of my company equipment to get it all fixed up,” said Babb earlier this week.

The shop celebrated its 30th anniversary in January this year. BY JOY COBB GAZETTE NEWSPAPERS ANDOVER - Christ y Paul has owned New Convenant Styling Salon at 100 Public Square NE in Andover for three decades. Not a fan of social media, it was therefore good time for Paul when salon-owner Autumn Lynn of Pittsburgh heard of a job opening at New Convenant through Lynn’s brotherin-law, one of Paul’s local customers. The opening hadn’t been advertised. “I heard about the job word-of-mouth,” said Lynn “I don’t do Google or Facebook or any of that,” said Paul, although the salon can be found with a Google search. “The shop celebrated our 30th anniversary in January of this year. Julie Day was here with me the whole time, for 30 years. She was a stylist here and my best friend,” said Paul. Day left New Convenant on April 1 this year. “She’s very missed, but she’s living the dream,” Paul said of Day. About the same time that Day retired, Lynn was growing weary of the long hours involved in co-owning a Wella-based Pittsburgh salon. “I had 12 employees and owned the salon for four years,” said Lynn. But work followed Lynn home most evenings. “I would get calls at home most nights,” she added. Lynn also missed her sister, Tracy who grew up in Pittsburgh, but has lived in the Andover area for 15 years. Lynn and her husband fell in love with the area during visits to her sister. “It was perfect timing when my brother-in-law told me about New Convenant,” said Lynn. “I sold my part of the salon to my co-owner. We had a tough time finding a petfriendly place to live in the Andover area though,” said Lynn, who owns a beagle-mix dog and cats. Lynn said that the lack of pet-friendly housing was surprising for a “country” area. Lynn’s husband, a chef found a job at Grindhouse Gourmet Burgers, located in Ashtabula Harbor. “We’re foodies,” said Lynn. “We enjoy discovering new places to eat.” Lynn and husband loaded up a 26 ft. moving truck, drove their pets and belongings from Pittsburgh, and started their new jobs the next day. “We wanted a simple live. I mostly love being here with my sister,” said Lynn. A salon customer, who didn’t wish to be named but offered praise of Lynn, said,”She’s an ‘old soul’. She’s a city girl with a country soul.” Trained at Toni and Guy Hairdressing Academy in Erie, Pa. before owning her Pittsburgh salon, Lynn puts a customer at ease by discussing haircut preferences before picking up her scissors. She’s a natural with tossing the conversational ball back & forth, making an appointment go quickly. “I didn’t enjoy some of the typical ‘chit-chat’ I heard in my salon,” Lynn said. “Some of the girls would go on and on about their Coach bags, while still living at home with their parents and had no bills of their own.” Lynn smiles throughout the job, laughing easily at more down-toearth topics. She listens as much as she speaks to her customers, and she’s already fond of her new boss, Paul. Appointments with Autumn Lynn at New Convenant Styling Salon can be made by calling 440-293-6399.

Former owner of a Wella-based salon in Pittsburgh for four years, Lynn brings experience and good conversation to her new job.

Back again this Sunday carving wood bowls and vessels is A4E artist Dean Oyen of Jamestown, Pa. Nowack this past Sunday was carving his next project, a replica of the carousel Dentzel Mueller Lion at Conneaut Lake Area Historical Museum. He is at the museum on Third St. every third Sunday this summer from 2 to 5 p.m. doing his carving. The Mueller Lion, an original was among the early Conneaut Lake Park Carousel characters made especially for the amusement park ride. “When the park owners sold out many of those hand carved early carousel characters were sold off. The Mueller Lion was also sold.

Dan Huff, a friend of the ladies and a master carpenter, holds a corner of the finished quilt is making the special wood frame to preserve it. The framed quilt will be hung at the RRA Clubhouse for the community’s July 4 weekend 50th Anniversary Celebration, says Karger. The project began last year inviting Roaming Shores residents to design their own block and are all varied. carousel replicas. This one should be done in six months or more as I don’t work on it steadily,” Nowack said last Sunday at the museum stop. Some 20 different regional artists from jewelry makers to painters and weavers like Judy Hanninen of Waterloo Mohair of Utica, Pa. have kiosk niches to sell and work on their artware at the Red Barn Gallery. Nowack and his group of area artists welcome visitors to stop in for the best offerings in local and regional art. You can sign up to take creative classes or there are “make and take” classes on the weekend with the artists. “When people come in the barn and I’m carving I let them take a chisel and they can also chip away on the Mueller Lion replica I am currently working on. I put their name on a card who helped on the carving. The original carousel amusement ride at Conneaut Lake Park were all done by Dentzel. Today at the park’s carousel ride those animals and characters were done by Carousel Works Co. in Mansfield, Ohio. To do this lion I went on the platform at the park ride last fall and took photos of the original lion’s footprints, which you can still see in the wood. It gave me then an idea of its size. The original lead horse and other characters were there at the park until the early 1920’s,” explained Nowack. He said that the Arts4Everyone group also puts out an on-line newsletter weekly. It contains updated information on all Pa. and Ohio art shows, community events around the Penn-Ohio Lakelands and other tri-state areas. At the Red Barn Studio artists involved offer classes including watercolor painting, pencil stippling, Navajo rug weaving and fabric art, nature photography, Zentangle, fly-tying for fishing, jewelry workshop, wood carving, slate painting plus more. For information on the classes call Nowack at 814-795-6888 or email at [email protected]. Some of the artists also do traveling classes for organizations or schools at their sites.

The two women will be portrayed by area reenactors, Marian King of Ashtabula as Mary Todd Lincoln and Debbie Weinkamer of Lake County as Lucretia Garfield.

Conneaut Lake Area Historical Society hosting 2nd annual Car Cruise-In at museum BY DORIS COOK GAZETTE NEWSPAPERS CONNEAUT LAKE, PA.The 4th annual Summer Car Cruise-In is coming up Saturday, July 9 at the Conneaut Lake Area Historical Society’s museum, located on Third St. in the village. All models of historic and vintage cars and trucks plus collector type vehicles are welcome for the events, said Cruise-In chairman Charles Groger. “Registration for the car owners begins at 9 a.m. with a fee of $5. The Cruise-In is open to the public and we hope to bring in more owners of restored vehicles. Last year we had nearly 50 cars and trucks. There is plenty of parking area next to our museum building,” he said. The Trinity United Methodist Church next door from the museum has offered use of its parking lot as well. Groger said there is room for at least 150 cars and this is one of the larger events planned for the summer this year. The Car Cruise-In hours are from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Society members will be serv- ing grilled hot dogs to buy along with cold beverages. There will also be a Bake Sale stand open as well. “At 12 noon we will bring out from the museum the historic Liberty the Second boat and run the motor for a short few minutes. The engine is a Liberty airplane engine and only three of these exist today. I use my truck to tow out the boat,” Groger explained. The boat is a speedboat model that was to compete in a Conneaut Lake race in 1922. It capsized and sank in the lake bottom. The boat was finally recovered 63 years later, restored and is an integral exhibit for the museum. Visitors will be able to tour the museum during the afternoon where several new collections are displayed. One depicts an early Pa. Native American Indian small village, said Groger. “Third Street is closed off for the event on Saturday. Collector car owners from Ohio and Pennsylvania are among the people, who bring their vehicles. We always welcome car clubs as well,” he said. “And we hope the weather will be great to bring out not only the vehicle owners, but lots of visitors to enjoy the day and museum tours.” Meadville’s radio station Cool 101 will set up a tent to do a live broadcast at the cruise-in. They’ll be interviewing and playing music to add to the festivities.

Local photographer lends a voice to his dog GENEVA-ON-THELAKE - 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.

GAZETTE NEWSPAPERS • WEEK OF FRIDAY, JUNE 24, 2016 • 9A Lago Winery owners adding on and opening Mortals Key micro-brewery bar BY DORIS COOK GAZETTE NEWSPAPERS JAMESTOWN,PA.-This weekend Lago Winery owners, Doug and Connie Shannon are opening their Mortals Key micro-brewery bar. The bar in on the ground level in a separate wood frame building with lots of art deor touches inside and out. Doug Shannon said that some wineries are adding beer made on the same premises as wineries. “Some customers we have coming to the winery had asked if we might some day put in a brewery. I did a lot of research and looked for the right equipment we could get to start making beer here. It’s been three years in the making to get everything assembled including the ingredients to make beer. It takes the best malted barley, yeast, hops and water for example. We made our first batches of beer in late May,” said Shannon. His two beer masters and partners in the brewery operation are Sean McIntryre and Bruce Woyt. Shannon said Sean in particiular has 20 years experience in making special beers. Getting the equipment assembled in the building plus designing the bar ansd food service areas in the building were another challenge. Getting the state licenses and the building up took time, as well. Shannon loves art and and being creative. He looked to find old pieces and parts of items to “repurpose” for Mortals Key Bar. For example the front part of the food service area is part of an old double decker English bus found at a scrap yard. It’s now part of the decor front of the kitchen section. “We have made something unique for here I feel and hope people will like what we’ve done to stop in. The ingredients for our beer comes from all over the world. Here at our farm we have five acres of barley growing. If we can get our barley and yeast grown here we will come full circle because we also have a farmer working with us to grow organic vegetables,” said Shannon,. During his research, Shannon said he toured 17 days last year in Germany to check out the beer breweries there. The brewery bar will be open the same days and hours as the winery: Wednesdays through Thursday 12 noon to 8 or 9 p.m..,Friday 12 to 9 p.m., Saturday 12 to 8 p.m., and Sunday 12 to PHOTO BY DORIS COOK 6 p.m. in summer months.

Education 10A • WEEK OF FRIDAY, JUNE 24, 2016 • GAZETTE NEWSPAPERS Camp Invention at GV Elementary leads to discovery BY JOANNE BEVACQUA GAZETTE NEWSPAPERS ORWELL – Seven hours a day for five days, 32 students from Grand Valley, Pymatuning Valley, Maplewood, Rock Creek, Ashtabula City and local home schoolers delved into the world of science and invention. Camp Invention coordinator Carrie Rowland was thrilled with the success of the camp. “This is the first year for Grand Valley to host Camp Invention. The kids learned a lot and had a great time. We had them doing whole body movement for warm-ups, building infrastructures and designing water slides for under the ocean. All of the kids found things in which they felt at home and delved into with great enthusiasm.” Created by the National Inventors Hall of Fame, the program focuses on STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) goals. The Camp Invention web-site states, “The program is focused on creativity, innovation, real-world problem solving and the spirit of invention”. That is exactly what these youngsters who ranged from entering first grade to entering sixth grade were doing the first week of June at Grand Valley Elementary School. There were four modules that each student participated in daily. The “CrickoBot”, “Epic Park”, “I Can Invent: Maker Studio” and “The lab: Where Pigs Fly”. In CrickoBot students built a power circuit for a solar powered cricket. Stu- dents explored the unique makeup and biology of the cricket. Their crickets were then involved in other experiments throughout the week before students took them home on Friday. The building of Epic Park sparked creativity. Students constructed zip lines, water flumes and designed an eco-friendly theme park to attract visitors. All of this was centered around a treehouse designed using simple machines. “I Can Invent” was the most popular module among the majority of students. There they disassembled appliances and old electronics to make a prototype for a new product. They especially enjoyed the demolition phase. The Lab may have been the messiest portion of the PHOTO BY JOANNE BEVACQUA Reese Schillace, Nolan Johnston and Cameron Wade experimented to find how they could get the robotic cricket to land on a target. Logan McElroy held the cricket’s habitat as they were among students at the Camp Invention days held at Grand Valley Elementary School in Orwell. week. Here students made slime, studied properties of light, made code for a programmable robot along with other hands on expe- riences. Students took home their new pet robotic cricket, and its habitat, their inventions, slime with other creations accompanied by a new appreciation for and understanding the world of science and a ton of smiles.

The economic well-being of the communities around Conneaut Lake is tied directly to the health of the waters of Conneaut Lake. Without a clean lake the community suffers. The municipalities around the lake, as well as the community have an obligation to improve and protect the water quality and condition of the lake to ensure strong visitor numbers and property values now and into the future. Dr. Fred Lubnow, a lake scientist and engineer with Princeton Hydro will be presenting why planning for a healthier lake is important for retaining or improving property values, retaining and increasing tourism, as well as improving the overall condition of the lake.

The Crawford County Conservation District has been awarded a PA. Department of Environmental Protection “Growing Greener” grant to develop a Watershed Implementation Plan (WIP) for the Conneaut Lake watershed. Once developed, reviewed and subsequently approved by PA DEP, this Plan will increase the opportunity the municipalities within the Conneaut Lake watershed, CLAMA, and Crawford County agencies to obtain State and Federal grants to implement stormwater and in-lake management measures to reduce non-point source (NPS) pollutants, such as total phosphorus (TP) and total suspended solids (TSS), that enter the lake. Elevated TP concentrations stimulate nuisance levels of algal blooms and aquatic vegetation, while elevated TSS results in the in-filling of near-shore areas. Thus, reducing the amount of these pollutants entering the lake will improve / protect its overall water quality, according to CCD watershed specialist, Brian S. Pilarcik.. Currently Conneaut Lake is listed as being impaired for excess nutrients on the EPA’s Integrated Waters List. The ultimate goal of the WIP is to assist the local communities with removing the lake from that list. Again, with property values and tourism tied directly to the condition of the lake it is critical that the local communities work together to improve the health of the lake. Come learn how you can be part of that future. For more information contact Brian Pilarcik at 814-763-5269.

Babb is working alongside of Mr. Shetler and his crew. They took advantage of the good summer weather this week to tackle the job. “We are putting up a tan color siding and have dark green trim. When that straight wind hit at night it actually took one hanging door off. Our trustee board had a new roof put on the garage about three years ago along with insulation. We also replaced the ceiling light so our road supervisor could do work on projects inside,” said Babb. The garage building was constructed in the mid-1970’s, he said. The insurance company claim of $8,500 will pay for the contracted work and materials for this nice new facelift for the township garage.

This week the village’s Summer Mid-Week Con- certs in Chaffee Memorial Park began on Wednesday evening. The concerts begin at 6:30 p.m. and are free to the public. Each week a different organization is featured with various food available to purchase. Varckette said the bands are all scheduled and any individual or area business who would like to be a sponsor can still sign up to help pay the costs. Next year, Varckette wants to form a concert committee to handle the summer series of band entertainment and add new ideas for the project. He also took time to thank several families including Phil Ruks and council members who helped out at the May 21 Clean Up Day collection. Varckette said it was a good service offered to Orwell Village residents as in 2015 no clean-up days were held.

Next to Varckette is Councilor Don Herbster.
