100 YEARS TO BEE

Beekeepers association marks anniversary LAINA YOST THE CHRONICLE-TELEGRAM

In 1919, the Lorain County Beekeepers Association met for the first time. On Saturday, it celebrated 100 years.

Denzil St. Clair, president of the LCBA, said the organization has been at the forefront of the evolving changes in beekeeping, and has even been unique in its diversity.

One hundred years ago, the first president of the LCBA was a woman, which was rather unheard of in that time period.

But for the first 60 years of beekeeping, nothing really changed, St. Clair said. It wasn't until the late 1980s when the whole world of beekeeping turned upside down.

Varroa mites started to kill out the honeybees and it hit national headlines. Honeybees were dying. ”It was a boon and it was a doggle,” St. Clair said. “It was a boon in that it brought a lot of attention to beekeeping because bees are dying everywhere. Beekeeping as we know it is dead. And it was.”

Since then, St. Clair said beekeepers had to learn to adapt and take care of their honeybees. Now, there's new changes in beekeeping almost every month, St. Clair said.

St. Clair said the LCBA has kept up with the whole new way of beekeeping and teaching beekeepers new

That includes introductions to artificial insemination, selective breeding, and genetics.

LCBA has tried new things and experimented with all of the new changes, and let that play out in the public eye so that they can teach

people what works and what doesn't work.

"Beekeeping is evolving and changing," St. Clair said. "There's new developments and changes and we're a key component of it."

To the editor: As a small business owner in downtown Amherst, I support Matt Nahorn’s re-election to Amherst city council. Matt is aware of the need to have small businesses as a part of our vibrant downtown business district. His dedication to his constituents is clear, as he has walked the fourth ward several times while distributing pieces of useful information for area residents. If a resident has an issue, he works to resolve it as quickly as possible, keeping the resident informed each step of the way. Please join me in supporting Matt Nahorn for Amherst.

Cindy Kohart

Ray English for city council To the editor: I would like to endorse my friend, Ray English, for Oberlin city council. I know him through our work together in the organization Citizens' Climate Lobby. I have seen his intelligence and dedication to the cause of preserving a livable world. I know that he is keenly interested in healing the wounds of the Gibsons vs. Oberlin College case. He has served the city of Oberlin in the Human Relations Commission and the Oberlin Underground Railroad Society board, and served as director of libraries for Oberlin College for 25 years. You can read more of his accomplishments at www. rayenglishoberlincitycouncil.org. When he describes Oberlin as "Many Voices, One Community," I know that he means it.

I believe a vote for Ray is a vote for Oberlin at its best.

BEEKEEPERS

FROM A1 around them. They can travel two miles in any direction, so the farms and gardens around beekeepers can flourish.

St. Clair said the bees help with carbon dioxide, pollination, and an adequate colony of bees can add five bushels to a soybean field.

And this year, despite the wet weather, St. Clair said it's been a fantastic season for honey production.

Despite the evolving changes around beekeeping, St. Clair said the reason beekeepers keep bees has remained the same.

"That aspect of beekeeping hasn't changed and will never change. Hobbyists don't keep bees for economic reasons. We keep bees for the sheer pleasure of keeping bees. It's fun; it's enjoyable; it's exciting; it's challenging."

on ISSUE 14 on Nov. 5, 2019

On Nov. 5th, the Voters of Lorain County will be asked to approve a 4.31 million dollar additional per year tax issue for the Lorain County Joint Vocational School (LCJVS). This levy is the same amount of additional tax money each year that our Lorain County Voters defeated in Nov. 2018.

We should all VOTE NO again on the levy (Issue 14). Permanent improvement tax is primarily used by schools for replacement and maintenance of buses, buildings and parking lots.

All of the (14) fourteen county school districts (and their 41,000 students) together get a total of 5.3 million dollars each year for permanent improvement. The (14) fourteen county school districts run 365 buses each school day, and maintain 64 buildings and parking lots.

The LCJVS is asking Lorain County Voters to approve Issue 14. This will generate 4.31 million dollars each year in permanent improvement tax dollars. The LCJVS runs NO buses each school day and has only one building and parking lot to maintain for its 968 students.

The State of Ohio has unequal funding for education.

Let’s not approve unequal funding in Lorain County for our children’s education.

Vote NO on ISSUE 14 on Nov. 5, 2019 Paid for by Ayers R. Ratliff, a very concerned citizen.

Colder weather, warmer recipes are on the way The leaves will be changing color soon and it will be getting dark quite early.

I'm not looking forward to it.

The hunters will be going out to get themselves a deer or two and I have some venison recipes to put in my columns. I try to satisfy all my readers! I'll also be putting some stews and soups in now as cold weather will be here sooner than you think.

I've been thinking about planting a small garden next spring. I can start my seeds in small pots and they'll be ready to plant when the weather warms.

I'll plant green peppers, green beans, cucumbers, and a couple of tomatoes — I already have a spot all picked out.

I want to make some crispy chicken legs. I found a recipe that uses buttermilk and self-rising flour. I also found out that if you soak your chicken

Until next time, enjoy these recipes.

PENNY’S PANTRY PENNY CASE

overnight in a brine of saltwater, your chicken will be more flavorful. You mix an egg into the buttermilk, then dip your chicken pieces in and dredge them in the self-rising flour seasoned with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Then deep-fry your chicken to a golden brown.

I love crispy chicken, especially the skin.

I hope everyone enjoyed the Lorain County Fair!

Chili Soup • 2 onions, chopped • 2 green peppers, diced • 1 tbsp. oil • 2 lbs. hamburger • 2 tbsp. chili powder • 1 large can tomato juice • 1 small can herb tomato sauce • 1 can kidney beans Saute onions and green peppers in oil. Add hamburger and brown. Transfer all to a stockpot and add remaining ingredients. Add spaghetti is desired. Add 1/2 cup water and cook 90 to 120 minutes on low heat. You could alternately cook this on low in a slowcooker.

• 1/2 tsp. salt • 1/4 tsp. pepper • 1 can beef or chicken broth • 3 cups milk • 2 cups grated American or cheddar cheese • 1/4 cup parsley (optional) Break cauliflower into small pieces. Cook, covered, in salted water until tender, then drain.

Meanwhile, saute onion in margarine or butter until tender. Blend in flour, salt, and pepper. Gradually stir in broth and milk. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture reaches boiling point.

Add cheese and stir until it melts. Add cauliflower and parsley. Heat to service temperature.

• 6 tbsp. margarine or butter • 6 tbsp. flour • 1 tsp. salt (go easy on it) • 1/2 tsp. pepper • 1 1/2 cups whole milk • 2 chicken-flavored bouillon cubes In a large kettle, cook potatoes, carrots, and celery in water with bouillon cubes until tender.

Saute onions in margarine or butter until soft. Stir in flour, salt, and pepper, gradually adding milk, and stirring constantly until it reaches the desired consistency. Blend in with potato mixture. If you desire a smoother soup, put the veggies in a blender before adding the remaining ingredients.

Cauliflower Cheese Soup • 1 large head cauliflower • 2 tbsp. onion, minced • 2 tbsp. butter or margarine, melted • 2 tbsp. flour

Hearty Potato Soup • 6 medium potatoes, peeled and diced • 2 carrots, shredded • 6 celery stalks, diced • 2 qts. water • 1 onion, chopped

Squash Casserole • 6 cups squash (I use yellow) • 1/4 cup chopped onion • 1 can cream of chicken soup • 1 cup sour cream

• 1 cup grated carrots • 1 package stuffing mix (I use chicken-flavored) • 1 stick margarine Melt the margarine and pour over bread crumbs from the stuffing mix. Set aside. Boil squash and onion in salted water for five minutes. Drain. In a large mixing bowl, combine the squash mixture, contents of the stuffing seasoning packet, and all other ingredients except the buttered crumbs. Spread half of the crumbs in the bottom of a large casserole dish. Put squash mixture over this and spread the rest of the crumbs on top.

Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. This recipe is perfect for being made ahead of time and baked the next day!

Downtown Amherst business owners Chris Russo and Mark Costilow have announced the sale of the Amherst Cinema.

Russo buys Amherst Cinema JASON HAWK EDITOR

After owning Amherst Cinema for 20 years and watching his children grow up there, Mark Costilow is selling the Church Street theater.

"I'm a little heartbroken that I haven't been putting the attention into it I wanted. Being mayor takes up most of my time," he said.

Chris Russo, who owns The Brew

Kettle next door as well as Hot Dog Heaven and Hastee Tastee, became the new owner Friday, along with business partner Rodney Davis.

Both are Amherst Steele High School alumni and have invested heavily in the city's historical shopping district over the past few years.

"I don't know if people really understand the economic impact this theater has for the downtown community," Russo said Tuesday, standing inside Amherst Cinema. "It brings

a lot of people downtown."

The sale has been in the works for more than a year. Russo and Costilow said they've built a bond, borrowing ice and soda from each other's businesses during busy times, and the deal feels natural.

Costilow, who will stay on as a partner for the next five years, said he trusts Russo to keep the spirit of the movie theater alive. They're planning to keep the child-friendly atmosphere CINEMA PAGE B2

A $5 million expansion is in the works at the Amherst Public Library if voters support the idea this spring.

Plans call for about 10,000 additional square feet on two stories at the Spring Street library.

It would be added to the south side of the existing building, pushing out into the parking lot and eliminating eight spaces.

"The community's been growing and we need to keep pace with that. We need to keep growing with the community. The library is a community center," said spokeswoman Becky Denes.

Demand for drawing and painting classes, history seminars, movie nights, story times, book groups, and genealogy clubs has boomed in the past few years, according to library director Don Dovala.

The addition would provide a large community room to accommodate about 150 people, quiet study areas, and be the new home for circulation, he said.

It would also free up space for teens to hang out after school, tutoring sessions, and for "young children to be children."

A new drive-up book drop window would be installed LIBRARY PAGE B2

Donors pledge $11,500 for Comets eSports JASON HAWK EDITOR

Two big donations totaling $11,500 are helping to launch Amherst's new eSports team this spring at Steele High School.

The Nordson Corporation has gifted $10,000 to start the competitive video game team, while Royal Busi-

ness Equipment in Elyria contributed $1,500, according to assistant superintendent Michael Molnar.

Teacher Brian Rubinski is behind the effort to make gaming a Comets sport.

He said about two dozen students are signed up to play this year. Practices will begin sometime after winter break and the season will start in March.

Rubinski sees gaming as a two-season sport, since some athletes are members of other Comets teams and will be available only for part of the year.

An eSports "arena" will be created in an old and not-much-used computer lab at Steele, said Molnar.

The space will be renovated and filled with gaming computers over the next

few months, he said.

Video games are the hottest up-and-coming sport right now, with millions of dollars in scholarships in play for sharp-shooting players.

Ohio State University doubled down on the trend, opening an eSports arena last month. The state-ofthe-art facility boasts ESPORTS PAGE B2

Ptacek back on the job smiling JASON HAWK EDITOR

"This is what I worked 15 months for," said Amherst police officer J.R. Ptacek in September, smiling as he directed traffic at the corner of Park Avenue and Forest Street.

He's back in uniform and on active duty after surviving a gunshot wound to the abdomen last May. Ptacek was cleared to return to part-time duty in September. "I'm finally back on the saddle," he said.

The veteran Amherst officer took part in a long standoff last spring in Sheffield Lake as part of the Lorain County SWAT team. Officers were there to arrest Martin Robinson, who was wanted on weapons charges out of Cuyahoga County.

Robinson was barricaded inside his home. Ptacek

A NEW RECORD

COMETS BRIEFS Volleyball • Amherst rolled over Berea-Midpark 3-0, winning sets 25-9, 25-18, 25-12.

The star was Ellie Shenk, who netted 15 digs and 13 serve receives. She had help from Amaya Melendez, who pulled in 15 assists, and Roslyn Hancock, who had 13 digs.

• Westlake managed to make it interesting in a 27-25 first set loss but lost steam as Amherst racked up 25-17, 25-11 wins for the 3-0

victory.

Hailee McHugh had 17 serve receives and 15 digs. Laken Voss and Ellie Shenk each put up 17 digs, while Amaya Melendez had 14 assists.

Boys Soccer • Shaun Crawford's first-half hat trick set the stage for a 5-0 North Ridgeville shutout of Amherst. He added an assist en rout to the Rangers' victory.

• Lucas Snowden scored for the

Comets but that wasn't enough to stop the Clay onslaught. Amherst fell 3-1.

Girls Soccer • The Comets shut out the visiting Willoughby South Rebels 2-0 on Senior Night.

Sydney Schaeffer crossed the ball to Lexy Alston, who put Amherst on the board with a header for a 1-0 halftime lead. Nora Wright hit paydirt from 18 yards out to finalize the score.

Review of traffic deaths

Five people died in crashes on Lorain County roadways between June 6 and Aug. 21, according to the Lorain County Traffic Fatality Review Committee, conducted through Lorain County Public Health.

Three of the fatal crashes involved at-fault drivers above the age of 30.

Last year, there were 20 crashes resulting in 21 deaths in our county.

As of Aug. 5, 13 people had lost their lives this year on the roads. Forty-five percent of those crashes were alcohol-related. The average blood alcohol concentration of involved drivers were 0.233, more than two and a half times the legal limit.

ESPORTS

FROM B1 about 80 computers where gamers can test their skills in Rocket League, League of Legends, and Counterstrike.

Miami University in Ohio was the first in the United States to launch a varsity eSports program, launching its Division I team in 2016. The Red Hawks outfitted an arena on the second floor of the King Library and in 2017 won the National Association of Collegiate Esports championship, playing Overwatch.

The University of Akron, Ashland University, Bowling Green State University, Case Western Reserve University, Defiance College, Kent State, Marietta College, Ohio Northern, and Mount Union are among the institutions statewide that have gotten on the eSports train.

Many are even offering full-ride scholarships. Ask Amherst Steele alumnus Jordan Zakrajsek, who in 2017 earned a full athletic scholarship to Lourdes University, The sport's popularity is growing among spectators, too. The 2018 League of Legends World Championship, sponsored by Riot Games, drew nearly 79 million viewers. The 2019 Fortnite World Cup finals drew 2.3 million live viewers who wanted to see who would capture the $30 million grand prize.

Worldwide, the eSports audience this year is expected to reach 454 million people, according to market research firm Newzoo.

Revenue from professional eSports hit $875 million last year and is expected to surpass $1 billion this year.

FROM B1 helped rush the door with a battering ram so others could send in a robot.

That's when the situation went horribly wrong.

Robinson opened fire with a 20-gauge shotgun, hitting Ptacek in the back. The bullet bounced around inside his body, rupturing his stomach, colon, rectum, and intestines.

It seemed like a career-ender. But Ptacek, after a month in the hospital, said he wouldn't be sidelined and vowed to return to the police force.

He endured surgery after surgery and months of rehabilitation.

In his police cruiser Friday at the front of the Amherst Steele High School homecoming parade, he looked incredibly happy to be back in action. "I feel really good," he said.

Robinson was convicted in criminal court on 16 counts, including aggravated attempted murder, felonious assault, and inducing panic. He was sentenced to 55 years behind bars.

That's not the end of the story, though. Ptacek filed a civil suit against Robinson in late May, almost exactly a year after the shooting.

The suit asks for $75,000 for physical and mental anguish, medical expenses, and lost earnings.

It also opens the door for a jury to award additional damages as it sees fit.

The suit calls Robinson's conduct "so extreme and outrageous as to go beyond all possible bounds of decency" and "utterly intolerable in a civilized society."

The case is still in its very early stages, according to court records, with no appearances by the parties as yet scheduled.

Both men have a history with the cinema. Russo said he remembers watching movies there as a child — "I bring my kids here now," he said — while Costilow recalls his son and daughter toddling around there in diapers.

He's also "raised" a lot of young kids over the years, from concessions workers to movie-goers. Costilow said he's watched many of Amherst's finest grow up to become doctors, lawyers, and engineers.

But over the past few years, since being elected mayor, he hasn't been able to spend time forging those

Potentially, the new section could open in 2023.

Dovala and Denes said it would be designed to look as much as possible like the older portions of the library.

"We'd definitely want to pay homage to the tradition of this space," Dovala said.

He said he wanted to wage a construction campaign when he was named director of the library in January 2012 but "the timing wasn't right."

That was just two years after voters rejected an $11 million levy that would have paid for an addition. The 2010 question had failed by a four-percent margin with more than 8,700 votes cast — a huge turnout for the city, especially in a year without a presidential election.

The campaign had also been massive, with some 23,000 people attending pitch meetings hosted by library staff. But the public just did not embrace the 1.16-mill bond issue, which would have cost an extra $2.96 per month for a $100,000 home.

Russo said he's now learning the ropes from Costilow and Mitchell, and it's proving to be an exciting challenge. "You always have to learn something new. You can't be stale. If you're not learning, you're not growing," he said.

The partners are already vetting ideas fundraisers to give back to the community, as well as "dinner and a movie" promotions. Russo said he's watched parents enjoy drinks after dropping their kids off at the movies, and the arrangement feels right.

"It all works together. It's not a square peg in a round hole." he said.

CHANGING TIMES

While demand has grown for programs, especially for youth, circulation has been holding steady at the Amherst Public Library.

Director Don Dovala said check-outs for books and magazines have lost a little ground. At the same time, downloadable content is flying off the digital shelves. The Ohio Digital Library and Hoopla are services that allow patrons to "borrow" audio books, streaming music, and movies, and they've become increasingly popular.

Online borrowing has been embraced by people in rural communities, where residents can't easily walk or bike to the library, said Dovala.

The Amherst library has made a special effort to hook up Lorain County JVS and Firelands students with cards so they can grab downloadable titles, he said.

Next year, during the United States census, the library is expected to welcome many more visitors through its doors, said Dovala. At the request of the Census Bureau, librarians will be available to help walk people through online forms.

Meet the Amherst Athletic Hall of Fame Class of 2020 Six individuals and one team will be inducted this winter into the Amherst Athletic Hall of Fame.

The Class of 2020 includes Brad Draga, Sue Dziama, Ken Greer, Beth (Huffman) Nagy, Dominic Pellittieri, Norris Smith, and the 1991 volleyball team.

The class will be introduced at the Comets boys basketball game versus Olmsted Falls on Friday, Jan. 31, with a formal ceremony on Saturday, Feb. 1.

Brad Draga (1984-1989) was a football, basketball, and baseball standout, earning 10 varsity letters. He was the VFW District 9 nominee for State Athlete of the Year as a senior.

He was a three-year starter at shortstop for the baseball team, winning Southwestern Conference titles his junior and senior years. Draga was Second Team All-SWC his junior year and First Team his senior year, and was a member of the 1987 SWC championship basketball team, earning Honorable Mention All-Conference and All-Lorain County his freshman and sophomore years.

He set a single game school record with 146 yards receiving against Midview his junior year and finished his career as the program’s leader in receiving yards with 593. Draga was the team’s place kicker his junior season, setting a school record at his time of graduation with 17 extra points.

He went on to attend Northwestern University, where he became a three-year letter-winner with the Wildcats.

Sue Dziama (1990-1994) was an elite track and field and cross country athlete, one of two females in school history to be a four-time state qualifier in the latter.

She was the 3,200-meter state runner-up as a senior. Dziama earned All-Ohio status four times, twice in both cross country and track and field for the 4x800 relay and 3,200 meters.

She was a four-time Southwestern Conference champion in track, winning 1,600 meteers and 3,200 meters as a senior, and was a member of the 4x800 relay team her freshman and sophomore years.

Nagy won the Lakeland Conference cross country championship multiple times as an individual, setting numerous meet records across the region. On the track, she was the 1980 Lakeland Conference 1,600-meter champion as a sophomore.

Dominic Pellittieri (19972001) excelled in both track and field and football.

He was the 2001 pole vault state champion one year after finishing as state runner-up. At the time of graduation, he held the Ohio High School Athletic Association Division I pole vault record with a vault of 16 feet 1/4 inches, which still stands as Southwestern Conference and Lorain County records.

On the gridiron, Pellittieri was named First Team All-Southwestern Conference, Lorain County, and All-District as a quarterback. He had a 17-5 record as the team’s starter, which included back-to-back state playoff appearances.

Norris Smith (1968-1992) was a baseball, basketball, and tennis coach at Steele High School.

He led the Comets baseball team to eight conference championships — five in the Lakeland Conference and three in the Southwestern Conference.

He posted 292 career wins as

baseball coach in a career that spanned four decades.

Smith was inducted into the Northeast Ohio Baseball Coaches Hall of Fame in 2013.

He is a member of the Cedarville University Athletic Hall of Fame as a pitching standout, where he remains second in school history for wins in a season and fourth in career wins.

The 1991 volleyball team was the first in school history to reach the Ohio High School Athletic Association State Final Four.

The Comets finished the season with a 23-3 record and consisted of just nine players and a head coach in her second year. The team laid the foundation for what has become one of the premier volleyball programs in the region.

The 1991 team was the first in program history to win conference, sectional, and district titles.

It remains the lone regional champion.

The Comets advanced to Dayton and lost to eventual state champion Canton McKinley in the semifinals. They were led by current volleyball coach Laurie Cogan, and consisted of Nancy (Bescak) Geraghty, Emily Cooper, Rita (Foreman) Kamoutsis, Sheri (Horvath) Scanlon, Christina (Missy) Johnson, Jen (Shinsky) Stevens, Jennifer (Solak) Marshall, Heather Zehel, and Holly (Zehel) Preece.

Oberlin College announces Gibson's case appeal DAVE O’BRIEN THE CHRONICLE-TELEGRAM

Citing its obligation to protect the First Amendment right to free speech, Oberlin College’s Board of Trustees has voted to appeal the multi-million-dollar jury verdict won against it in June by Gibson's Bakery and members of the Gibson family.

The college announced Tuesday

that its attorneys were filing an appeal in the Ninth District Court of Appeals in Akron.

The college restated its position that to be made to pay $25 million in damages for libel, intentional infliction of emotional distress and interference with business relationships, plus millions more in attorney fees, would damage free speech on college campuses.

"Left standing, the verdict could also set a troubling precedent for

those institutions, like Oberlin, that are committed to respecting free speech," according to a news release by the college.

Oberlin College Board of Trustees Chairman Chris Canavan was quoted in the release as saying the decision to appeal is "grounded in the board’s fiduciary responsibility to the College’s long-term financial health."

Canavan said the college has a relationship with the city stretching

back to 1833, one that it intends to keep building.

“We also have a mission to support free inquiry, allow faculty and students to ask difficult questions and to reach and express their own conclusions," he said. "The judgment in this case effectively punishes us for doing just that.”

“Given the repeated attempts

by Oberlin College to discount the jury’s verdict, their decision to appeal comes as no surprise,”

said Lee Plakas, one of the lead attorneys for the Gibsons. “But despite the college’s attempt to reframe this as a First Amendment issue, the law and the facts of this case remain clearly on the side of the Gibson family. The law and the jury’s verdict both remind our country that claimed free speech has its limits, even on a college campus.”

The nonpartisan event is a 25-year tradition. Held Oct. 1 at First Church, it put about 150 residents face-to-face with 11 of the 12 candidates on the ballot.

Each got 90 seconds to introduce themselves and speak to a plank or two before breaking off to talk with small groups.

There was no traditional debate.

“The idea behind it is for the community members to interact in a more intimate way with the candidates,” said OCCN coordinator Deb Cocco.

Incumbent Heather Adelman said she is proud of helping pass an update to Oberlin's Climate Action Plan, drafting ordinances on LGBTQ protections, and working to save the Legion Field community garden. If reelected, she wants to look at creating affordable housing in Oberlin via the community land trust.

Scott Broadwell is a former councilman. After bowing out previously due to term limits, he is looking to make a return. Broadwell said he wants to ensure that council decisions are made for the benefit of all members of the community.

Peter Comings is a former journalist of two decades.

He said the skills he learned in the profession — listening, hearing concerns, and helping people express them — would be valuable in a councilman. "You can expect that I will ask tough questions of you so I better know what the problems are," he said.

Ray English is a human relations commission member. He said council should do more to seek opinions from residents and work cooperatively to make decisions in the best interest in the community as a whole.

He wants to create "a unified vision for Oberlin, one we can all get behind."

Elizabeth Meadows is a former councilwoman. She said moving to Oberlin in 2001 changed her life — she quickly found her calling in volunteerism, serving as youth development coordinator, public transportation manager, and adult literacy program instructor, and sitting on race and human relations committees. She wants to do more to engage neighbors in city business.

Bill Miller came to Oberlin 15 years ago and found it to be much like his hometown near Pittsburgh, with many of the same issues. Today he serves on the planning and civil service commissions. Miller said the city should held high-tech industry start-ups as "a way to foster growth in the community."

Incumbent Kristin Peterson is finishing her second nonconsecutive term. A retired educator and business owner, she has served on the minority business CANDIDATES PAGE C2

MASCOT NAMED 'YEOBIE' JASON HAWK EDITOR

Homecoming game

Hey, sports fans — Oberlin College's albino squirrel mascot has been officially named following a campuswide vote.

Revealed during halftime at Saturday's Yeomen homecoming football game, the new name is Yeobie.

It was suggested by Elo Kelkar, who gets lifetime bragging rights.

The name was one of the "Squirrely Six" finalists from among nearly 400 submissions.

Others included Albie, submitted by Jack Derwin; Macademia, submitted

by Katie Schrader; Finney, submitted

by Pea Jae Stasuk; Stevie, submitted

by Veronica Mahoney; and Apollo, submitted by Alicia Smith-Tran.

"Squirrely McSquirrelface" didn't make the cut.

The college athletics department's dossier on Yeobie says the mascot stands seven feet 10 inches tall, weighs in at 285 pounds, wears size 32.5 Birkenstocks, and can do to the 40-yard dash in 4.3 seconds.

In a nod to gender inclusiveness, Yeobie uses the pronouns they and them rather than he or she.

The introduction of Yeobie was a bright spot in the homecoming football game this weekend at Oberlin College, where the Yeomen lost 12-7 to rival Kenyon College.

A 61-yard interception return by the Lords' Michael Picone late in the fourth quarter gave Kenyon a North Coast Athletic Conference victory.

They love music and art, are passionate about politics and the environment, and bring good luck when spotted around campus.

"We're not trying to take ourselves too seriously with this," said Delta Lodge Director of Athletics and Physical Education Natalie Winkelfoos — but she does believe the name will help bring students together.

On campus, athletes call themselves the Yeomen and Yeowomen while most other students refer to themselves as Obies. "Yeobie" blends those identities, she said.

The name also elevates the status of the albino squirrel mascot, which for many years was an unofficial one.

Since the 1970s, albino squirrels have been spotted cavorting through the trees on and around Tappan Square.

Oberlin isn't the only town with white or albino squirrels, and certainly not the only college to claim them, either.

When Oberlin College adopted the albino squirrel as its mascot back in 2014, it swore never to give up its Yeomen and Yeowomen sports team names.

"The squirrel mascot will provide a visual that our student-athletes, alumni, and fans can identify with," Winkelfoos said at the time. "It is something that has represented Oberlin College for a long time and we are happy to make it a part of the athletics identity."

But the branding did help solve a problem — trying to represent that antiquated "yeoman" namesake. Historically, yeomen are freeholders who run small farms. They were certainly important to North America's colonizers and to settlers who traveled west to Ohio in the 1800s.

How to convey that with a mascot was a bit difficult, Winkelfoos said.

The Zavodsky House at Westwood Cemetery will be getting a long-awaited restoration.

City Council voted 5-1 on Monday to accept a $347,460 bid from Williams Brothers Builders to repair and restore the 1880s home.

The restoration will create an office for the grounds superintendent, as well as a reception area and kitchenette. Public Works Director Jeff Baumann said the the new reception area will create a space for cemetery sales and service.

Currently, residents who want to buy grave plots meet in the cemetery shop building, he said.

“It's an opportunity to

prove sales service in a more professional environment,” Baumann said.

The project will include the demolition of a 1950s add-on to the home, the building of a new foundation and new mechanical and electrical systems.

It will also include construction of a new staircase to reconnect the second floor and creating a fully accessible bathroom. Six

parking spots will be created along with drainage improvements around the home.

Baumann said the work will start in November. The majority of the work can be done during the winter, but the city will have to most likely wait to do the asphalt parking lot, pushing the project to end in April.

Now, squirrels aren't the most fearsome of creatures but they can be intimidating, said Winkelfoos.

"They're scrappy. They're smart. I like to think that represents an Obie as well," she said. Squirrels always find a way to get what they want, and that resourcefulness if a hallmark of the college, she said.

Oberlin News-Tribune

Kendal at Oberlin annual report From thousands of volunteer hours to financial support for the county, city, and schools, Kendal at Oberlin is making a positive impact in the local community, according to the residential community's annual report.

Highlights from the report include: • Kendal residents, staff, and board members volunteered nearly 48,000 recorded hours of service at more than 80 different nonprofit organizations in Lorain County and beyond in 2018. Since 2000 the value of those volunteer hours is equal to approxi-

mately $17 million.

• More than 100 local students from nursing, rehabilitation, and vocational schools were provided clinical training at Kendal to prepare them professionally.

• More than 100 neighboring older adults were served in rehabilitation and fitness programs.

• More than 20 area families used Kendal’s early learning program for toddlers to pre-kindergarten children.

Over the past 18 years, Kendal calculates the financial benefit of its

payroll and real estate taxes has resulted in more than $1.7 million paid to support the related school districts in the Oberlin area and an ongoing benefit back to the city of Oberlin of approximately $5.9 million.

“Our connection to the local community has forged strong partnerships over the last quarter century. We look forward to remaining a valued community member for years to come and bringing new solutions to emerging needs,” said CEO Barbara Thomas.

GIBSON’S

FROM C1

Wargo said the college had no further comment Tuesday.

The college reported it has hired attorneys Lee Levine and Seth Berlin from the law firm Ballard Spahr in Washington, D.C., and appellate attorneys Benjamin Sasse and Irene Keyse-Walker from the law firm Tucker Ellis in Cleveland to handle its appeal.

“The verdict and judgment in this case set a precedent that endangers free speech on campuses and for all Americans,” Levine said. “The jury was allowed to award substantial damages for speech that is protected by the Constitution. The case should absolutely be reviewed by an appellate court.”

“This case never should have gone to the jury in light of the heightened speech protections in the Ohio Constitution, and the trial court made several procedural errors during trial that led to this verdict. Among other things, those errors prevented jurors from hearing critical information about the original

incident,” Sasse said.

Oberlin College was represented at trial by attorneys from Taft Stettinius & Hollister of Cleveland and Wickens Herzer Panza of Avon.

Oberlin College students protested for two days in November 2016 after three students were arrested by Oberlin police after an incident at Gibson's Bakery.

One of the students tried to use a fake ID to buy alcohol and also tried to steal two bottles of wine before being chased out of the store by clerk Allyn Gibson, the son and grandson of the bakery owners.

Outside, Allyn Gibson, the shoplifter and two other students got into an altercation. When police arrived, according to testimony at trial, Allyn Gibson was on the ground being assaulted by the three students.

Allyn Gibson is white and the students are black.

The students involved later pleaded guilty to misdemeanor theft and assault charges and stated in court that Allyn

Gibson had the right to try and stop the theft.

In the meantime, students organized a protest against the bakery, calling the Gibsons racist and saying there was a difference in the way persons of color were treated in the bakery. Oberlin College officials were at the protest, with the college saying they were present to "ensure that it was peaceful" and to "de-escalate tensions in the community."

Protesters created a flier saying "DON'T BUY. This is a RACIST establishment with a LONG ACCOUNT of RACIAL PROFILING and DISCRIMINATION." During the protest, the flier was handed to a member of the media by Meredith Raimondo, the college's vice president and dean of students, according to trial testimony.

At the same time, Oberlin College briefly ended its business relationship and daily baked goods order from Gibsons. The two institutions had a business relationship

dating back more than 100 years.

That relationship briefly resumed, but ended again when the family and bakery sued the college in Lorain County Common Pleas Court in 2017.

Attorneys for the Gibsons argued at trial that college officials allowed protesters to use college equipment to print and produce copies of the fliers, personally assisted in passing out the fliers, gave instructions by bullhorn, purchased gloves and food for protesters and allowed a defamatory student senate resolution to remain posted in public for more than a year.

A Lorain County jury agreed with the Gibsons' arguments, awarding them $44 million in damages against the college and Raimondo following a trial in Judge John Miraldi's courtroom.

Miraldi later reduced the damages to $25 million due to caps on damages under Ohio law, and later awarded attorney fees totaling $6.5 million to the Gibsons.

CANDIDATES

FROM C1 enterprise committee, recreation committee, Oberlin Community Improvement Corporation, Hospital Foundation board, and Neighborhood Alliance board.

Mary Price holds a degree in politics from Oberlin College, where she also studied violin. A self-described mediator, she said her top priority would be to foster community-wide, two-way communication — especially in the areas of climate goals, housing opportunities, and economic growth.

Incumbent Ronnie Rimbert has served 18 years on council. He leaned on his experience, including two stints as president of council. He said the governing body has to work as a team: "If you're a point guard, you have to distribute the ball."

Kelley Singleton is running for his third term. Being on council is about listening, he said. "You can have all the greatest ideas in the world, but if you're not listening to the people of the city you're not going to do your job correctly."

Steven Thompson, whose experiences

lies in the manufacturing field, said he wants to be the voice for those who feel they don't matter to the community. "At the end of the day, it's about serving the members of the community," he said.

Incumbent Linda Slocum, who is running for re-election, was not able to attend the forum.

Candidates rotated around the loud First Church hall, moving from table to table and fielding questions.

The topics raised by residents provided great insight into the issues that weigh heavily on voters' minds.

Many focused on Oberlin's role in protecting the environment, whether through emissions reduction, conservation, or energy policy.

The city's $2.8 million Sustainable Reserve Fund and how it will be doled out was raised many times. One resident asked whether the city could somehow reduce meat consumption, while others asked about promoting solar power.

Another commonly-raised topic was working with the Oberlin City Schools to share facilities, such as a field house

or recreation center.

Public transportation came up again and again. Some candidates pointed out Oberlin has applied for $500,000 in "Paradox Prize" cash to help connect residents to jobs via busing.

The fate of the vacant Green Acres property, which Oberlin purchased in 2011 for $265,000, was a sticking point.

Council held long discussions about using it to develop low- to-moderate income housing but never moved forward with a plan for the site between Lorain and College streets on Oberlin's east side.

Housing and economic development were discussed hand-in-hand. Several candidates said Oberlin needs to bring in more industry in case Federal Aviation Administration or Oberlin College jobs disappear.

Other questions probed candidates' feelings on home rule, roads, towngown relations, and social justice.

The News-Tribune and ChronicleTelegram will give candidates print space prior to the November election to share responses to a short questionnaire.

ZAVODSKY

FROM C1 In 2010, Oberlin formed a group to start discussing the possibilities of adapting the house, and Baumann said it was nearly ready to bid in 2011.

He said the project was put on hold due to the recession and changes in state funding, and that it wasn’t until 2016 that the project was brought back to the table.

Councilman Ronnie Rimbert said it was a long time coming, and that he was happy to have the project move forward. He said many people come back to Oberlin to visit family at the cemetery.

“I think there should be a quality to it when they do come back,” Rimbert said.

“This is going to put that quality in there.”

Councilwoman Heather Adelman, who was the lone vote against accepting the bid, said she valued the historical and cultural significance of the house but didn’t know whether the close-to-$350,000 price

tag was worth the square footage and use the city was getting.

Baumann said the first floor, which is all the city has a planned use for at this point, totals about 800 square feet.

“I’m just struggling with looking at all the priorities that we have and looking at this important building and trying to reconcile this in my mind,” Adelman said.

Councilwoman Linda Slocum also questioned the cost, but voted for accepting the bid. She said her first reaction looking at the cost is that the city could build a similar home for less money. She said valued the historical significance, but wanted to hear more about it.

“I think that it's a wonderful use, but I'd like to hear some support for preserving that particular structure to do that deed,” she said.

Baumann said it could be cheaper to build a new home, but that it would still

be pricey after all of the associated costs.

Slocum also asked whether doing the project during the winter could pose problems and increase the cost. Baumann said he didn’t see it as a factor, saying much of the work could be done in cold weather, and that contractors may be interested in the renovation as a winter project.

Council President Bryan Burgess said he supported accepting the bid, citing the cemetery’s importance to the city.

“The cemetery is hallowed ground for our community,” Burgess said. “It’s an investment in preserving our past and providing for our future.”

The Zavodsky House gets its name from Frank and Carol Zavodsky, who lived there while Frank Zavodsky was the cemetery’s sexton.

Along with taking care of the cemetery, he served as Oberlin’s public works di-

rector and had been acting city manager on different occasions. Even after his retirement, he lived in the home and agreed to complete cemetery sales, mow the property and share his long years of cemetery knowledge.

Frank Zavodsky passed away in 1997, and his wife Carol lived in the home until 2006 when she moved into a nursing home. Their daughter, Robin Jindra, wrote a letter at the time to City Manager Rob Dispirito, proposing the idea of restoring the house and using it for cemetery business.

Years after writing the letter that sparked the project, Jindra thanked City Council on Monday for moving ahead with the restoration. She said she expects the opportunities for the space to grow once it’s completed.

“To quote a phrase I’ve heard a couple of times in town, it's a great day to be in Oberlin,” Jindra said.

TURNOVERS DO DAMAGE

Argentina trip was filled with new experiences DONNA SCHURR OBERLIN ROTARY

Sophomore kick returner Andre Yarber delivers excitement on this kickoff return, cutting back against the flow and riding a wave of Columbia blockers to the end zone. But an away-from-the-play illegal block nullified the electric return. Friday wasn't a good night for the Phoenix. Turnovers in the first quarter got the team too far into the hole. The Phoenix scored first to take a 6-0 lead, but the Raiders bounced back with the aid of several Oberlin turnovers to take command 34-6 at the half. Each team would convert three scoring opportunities in the second half, yet the deficit was too much for the visitors to overcome. Oberlin is 1-5 overall, 0-3 in Lorain County League play.

Three unsolved cases haunt Oberlin detectives STAFF REPORT

The deaths of Kyle Gutierrez, Carol Gandelman, and Windom Durham have never been solved.

Now the Oberlin detective bureau has updated its cold case page at www. oberlinpd.com, police announced Sept. 30.

• Gutierrez, 22, was killed early the morning of Feb. 8, 2018. His body was found in the middle of

North Main Street where he was struck by a vehicle that fled.

Police investigated several leads but no charges were ever filed.

If you have any information, contact Det. Marc Ellis at 440-774-1061, or mellis@oberlinpd.com.

• Gandelman, 19, was hit by a vehicle while riding her bike the night of Sept.

17, 1979, on North Main Street after picking up groceries at Gibson's Bakery.

She died five days later.

The suspect vehicle was described as a large, American-made car with square lights. One witness recalls hearing a voice saying, "She just came out of nowhere. Let's get the hell out of here."

If you have any information, contact Ptl. Bashshar Wiley at 440-774-1061 or bwiley@oberlinpd.com.

• Durham, 77, was found dead in his Lincoln Street home the afternoon of Nov. 2, 1962. He'd been bound, gagged, and beaten during

what appeared to be a robbery that morning, police said. The official cause of death was determined to be asphyxiation.

Several people were interviewed but no arrests were ever made in the 57-year-old murder case.

If you have any information, contact Wiley at 440-774-1061 or bwiley@ oberlinpd.com.

Tips given in any of the unsolved homicides will remain strictly confidential, police promise.

Julia Malakar, a student at Oberlin High School, traveled this summer to Argentina on a Rotary Youth Exchange trip.

She will welcome her host sister, Anahi Gonzalez, in late November to spend four weeks with the Malakar family and as a short-term student at OHS. Malakar saw her trip to South America as an opportunity to experience a new culture and country. After her application was accepted by the Oberlin Rotary Club, she met with Rotary district representatives who helped her find a host student who had similar interests.

Malakar was matched with Gonzalez, a 16-year-old from the city of Rosario, Argentina.

Malakar and Gonzalez used social media to get to know each other for six months before the exchange trip, becoming fast friends.

“Choosing to be part of this program was one of the best decisions I have ever made. Being in Argentina for a month allowed my mind to open, my culture to expand, and for my Spanish to rapidly improve," said Malakar. "I am forever grateful that I experienced this exchange.”

Her favorite part of her trip was attending school. The schedule was different: The 40 students in her grade were split into groups that wanted to study economics and science. The same group of 20 students attended all classes together, resulting in extremely close relationships.

The friends Malakar made in “culso” are still corresponding on social media and hope to meet again in the future.

Another highlight was living in a big city with lots of night life and sightseeing opportunities. Teenagers in Argentina get dressed up to go to the “boliches” — dance parties which are a safe and fun experience.

Malakar learned a lot of Argentinian history by visiting historical monuments and much about the cuisine.

Boating to famous islands in the Rosario River, she saw large varieties of wildlife. On one outing, she was able to experience great food, including grilling a cow using coal and fire.

The Oberlin Rotary Club is seeking students who wish to go abroad either during the summer of 2020 or for a long-term exchange during the 2020-2021 school year.

Applications are being accepted now. Students accepted into this program will receive training during this school year.

If interested in either of these two experiences, contact the Oberlin Rotary Club youth exchange officer at mary-aufdenkampe@hotmail.com or 216-570-9669.

Oberlin News-Tribune

Iselin honored with Outstanding Teacher Award Brian Iselin, an instructor at the Lorain County JVS, was recently honored with a Project Lead the Way Outstanding Teacher Award.

It recognizes teachers who inspire, engage, and empower their students by creating transformative learning experiences in their classrooms through engineering programs.

The honor was no surprise to JVS deputy superintenBrian Iselin dent Jerry Pavlik. “From day one, I was impressed with Brian’s dedication, professionalism, educational knowledge, common sense, and excellent work ethic,” he said. “Brian has been a real team player and a vital asset to our PLTW program and commitment. He has consistently provided his students quality lessons and culture that is challenging, inviting, rigorous, and relevant.”

More than 96 percent of students who completed Iselin's program have started college for engineering or joined the military in a technical capacity.

Between 2013 and 2019, his students have been awarded more than $1.17 million in college scholarships.

Iselin said he's traveled and taught all over the United States, seeing many engineering programs.

“I really think ours is up there with the highest quality, and highest achieving programs anywhere," he said.

"Every student that has ever come back to talk to me has said what a benefit the program was to them when they started college engineering coursework.”

Help rescue homeless animals through SOS

Partners With Paws of Lorain County has launched its fall fundraiser, “SOS: Funds Needed for Homeless Animals Never Ends.”

Animal shelters are full and badly needed foster homes are few and far between. Many of the animals rescued from pounds need medical attention. It takes only $66 to rescue one dog from a dog pound, so Partners With Paws is seeking donations to help out. In return, all donors of $60 or more will be entered into a drawing for a $250 Amazon gift card donated by Suerth Financial Services of Elyria.

You can make checks payable to Partners With Paws, P.O. Box 277, Oberlin, OH 44074. Entry forms can be found at www.partnerswithpawslc.com.

Though funds are needed all year long, donations for the SOS event must be received by Tuesday, Nov. 19 for the gift card drawing. The winner will be notified by phone.

BACH TO SCHOOL

Oberlin College juniors Henry Fernandez and Max Schlenk practice Bach duets in September outside the Kohl Building.

FFA members go to Washington, D.C. More than 2,000 FFA members from across the country came together this summer in Washington, D.C. — and five members of the Lorain County JVS chapter were part of the excitement.

Making the trip were seniors Emerald Chimileski of Keystone, Wyatt Collins of Wellington, Seth Miller of Amherst, Skyler Mshabbek of North Ridgeville, and Nathan White of Keystone.

They traveled to the nation's capital to evaluate their personal skills and interests, develop leadership talent, and create service plans that will make a difference in their local communities.

The FFA members spent nearly a week at the conference, held in July at the Omni Shoreham Hotel.

Students took part in workshops and seminars focusing on identifying and developing their personal strengths and goals while undergoing leadership training that will help them guide their local FFA chapters.

The capstone of the event was a civic engagement activity in which participants applied what they learned. JVS students did so at the Meals of Hope organization, where

Beth Berthold is the FFA adviser and a landscape and greenhouse management instructor at the JVS. She said the conference gave students the chance to meet peers from out of the county. “Being able to meet so many new people allows the students to learn from others and broaden their knowledge and beliefs of the world

around them," she said.

A highlight of the trip was celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 mission by attending a presentation at the Washington Monument.

The students also toured historical landmarks including Arlington National Cemetery, the National Mall, and the U.S. Capitol.

State Education Board Member Kirsten Hill, chairman for the local Tea Party, was one of the organizers of the protest. She said the levy is an excessive ask of the taxpayers.

education or the school in particular, it's more about the money management,” Hill said.

She said the levy would generate close to $44 million over 10 years for the school. She said the funding is disproportionate when compared to what the rest of the school districts in the county receive for infrastructure.

She said she is elected to represent the schools, but she is also tasked with representing taxpayers.

“You don't want to abuse the taxpayer or wear them out or ask for unnecessary

money,” she said.

Another elected official, Lorain County JVS School Board member Ayers Ratliff, is against the levy for similar reasons. He said the rest of the districts combined maintain 64 buildings and 365 buses, while the Lorain County JVS maintains one building and no buses, and receives far more funding per student.

He said the school hasn’t provided an adequate explanation for him as to where that money’s going.

“If you’re going to spend $44 million of additional

tax money over the next 10 years, you should show us where it’s going, or it's not right,” he said.

JVS Superintendent Glenn Faircloth said the building is in need of several infrastructure projects.

He said the school needs a fire suppression system and other safety upgrades.

The school’s plumbing is in need of repair, he said, with a water main break ending this September closing the school down.

The roof needs repair, and the parking lot needs to be reconstructed.

He said the fire suppres-

sion system alone would cost about $4 million.

Faircloth said the aging building and the repairs it needs, as well as outfitting the school’s classrooms, are large needs the school needs the levy funds to accomplish.

According to the county Auditor’s Office it would cost property owners $23.10 a year for every $100,000 dollars their property is worth, and generate $4.3 million a year.

Faircloth said comparing the other school district’s buildings to the Lorain County JVS is a false comparison, since the school is so large and has much different needs. He said the building is 475,000 square feet, fitting about 10 acres of space inside of it.

“It’s not little schoolhouses, it's a huge building,” Faircloth said.

Faircloth said the programs at the school are much more expensive to equip. He said a traditional classroom might cost $100,000 to outfit with higher-end equipment. A classroom like the Lorain County JVS’ machine tooling lab could cost several millions of dollars to outfit.

“You can’t compare apples to apples with our labs,” he said.

The school put a similar levy on last year’s ballot that was voted down.

Faircloth said instead of a continuous levy it tried for last year, the school board decided to put a 10-year levy on this year’s ballot.

IT’S LIAM All EMS will have bulletproof gear NEESON DAY! JASON HAWK EDITOR

It's a sign of the times: South Lorain County Ambulance District medics will wear bulletproof vests on every call by Jan. 1.

"We're doing it because we feel it's necessary," said SLCAD director Skip

Gentry.

"If something happens in this area, for us to get help is going to take a while. So we have to be ready," he said.

Paramedics bought some body armor this past year using a grant from the Lorain-Medina Rural Electric Cooperative. More is on the way.

At about 12 pounds, it's generally light-weight.

There are also special operations-type ballistic helmets for medics to use in the event of an active shooter.

Wearing protective armor has been common for years in urban areas such as Cleveland, said Gentry, who as flight nurse aboard

a LifeFlight helicopter works closely with Cleveland EMS. The decision to use it in rural southern Lorain County is about taking responsibility for the safety of his employees, he said.

At candidates night, Issue 14 spurs debate SEAN McDONNELL THE CHRONICLE-TELEGRAM

The Wellington Area Chamber of Commerce held its annual candidates night at Wellington Town Hall last Thursday night.

Director Jack Coates said the event happens each year, alternating from local to countywide candidates depending on the election year. He said it gives candidates and people supporting issues a chance to speak in front of voters.

“That’s a lot more personal than flyers and that type of stuff,” Coates said.

Discussion included back-and-forth on Issue 14, which is an additional levy for the Lorain County JVS. The levy would be an additional .66 mills and would cost property owners in the district $1.93 for each $100,000 of property value.

JVS Adult Career Center Director Kristian Smith and High School Principal Tina Pelto spole in support of the levy. Pelto said the 10-year permanent improvement levy would go toward making several infrastructure upgrades.

Pelto said the money would be used to improve plumbing and the fire prevention system at the school.

She said the JVS is also in need of a roof as well as safety upgrades.

The JVS has been on the same millage since 1985, and the building is 50 years old.

Lorain County JVS Board of Education member Ayers Ratliff spoke against Issue 14, saying it was a disproportionate amount of money to give to the vocational school.

He said the levy would bring the JVS more money over the next 10 years than the current building is worth.

He also said that the levy would give the JVS an unfair amount of money for the number of students it serves when compared to other school districts.

Soboslai aims for the White House JASON HAWK EDITOR

Maddie Soboslai has her sights set on 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. The Wellington High School senior is competing for the chance to travel to the nation's capital this spring through the U.S. Senate Youth Program, with hopes of shaking President Donald Trump's hand.

"I think I would just start shaking it vigorously and asking his best advice for how I could get there down the line," she said.

Soboslai has aspirations of following in Trump's footsteps. She said her friends are already pushing her for a presidential bid in 2036, when she'll be 35 and eligible to hold the highest office in the land.

It's a goal she embraced in eighth grade during the lead-up to the 2016 election.

"I'm considered the resident conservative," she said. "Usually, I'm the one who will research and look into certain subjects. When someone has a question... I'm the one who can convey that information and give it my own spin."

There are just a few quick steps she has to take on the way to the White House.

First, Soboslai has to pass an exam.

She attended Ohio Girls Buckeye State this summer and was one of 16 girls chosen to take a qualifying test the week of Oct. 21.

If she's one of the top two scorers, Soboslai will be whisked away to Washington in March to meet with members of the House and Senate,

He said the JVS would get too much money under the levy compared to all of the other districts and their needs.

“If you think that is fair funding in Lorain County for education, I don't agree with you,” Ratliff said.

Wellington Schools Superintendent Ed Weber also spoke at the event. He asked voters to support Issue 18, an additional 1.99 mills and 1 mill for School Improvement Bonds.

He said the money is needed to update Westwood Elementary School, which was designed and built in the late 1950s.

Downtown gets business mini-boom this month JASON HAWK EDITOR

Four businesses are being expanded, reinvented, or opened this month in Wellington, bringing a mini growth boom to the village.

All are located in the historical downtown area.

DOG TRACKS DINER is expanding its footprint at 194 West Herrick Ave. Owner Bonnie Chalmers said renovations are underway in the adjoining space next door, which is being converted into a sports bar and beverage drive-through, which will be called Brady's Brew-Thru.

There will be a full bar, food, and television with new seating and updated bathrooms, she said.

Chalmers is moving fast and hoping to open this week but said renovations could stretch a little longer. The new space will open in October for sure, she said.

"We just want to make sure everything is done right," she said, "so we're taking our time."

SCENT DEPOT opened Friday at 181 Depot St. in a 400-squarefoot shop next to Lewis Plumbing &

Home Repair.

It carries a range of mostly-natural bath products including bath bombs, lotions, soaps, essential oils, and candles.

Owner David Arcuri said the plan is to eventually expand to personal care products such as shaving cream, scrubs, and face masks.

He and partners Aaron Rutter and Heidi Charlton took part in a couple of festivals, including the Fall in Love with Wellington Festival, in the lead-up to opening their brick-andmortar location.

Arcuri said he's worked in refuse removal, delivered shingles and drywall, and most recently worked in distribution for Pepsi.

"I got tired of working for somebody else," he said. When he discovered there are few personal bath care stores in the area, he found his niche.

MAD BATTER PASTRY EMPORIUM opened Saturday at 129 West Herrick Ave., bringing life back to the former Sweet Life Bakery & Pizza.

The mother-daughter team of Colata Derifaj and Sasha Ford have been in the catering business for several years.

Now they're fulfilling Ford's longtime dream of opening a bakery.

Derifaj said many desserts are inspired by her father, Nono, an Italian baker whose cookies, cannoli, and cakes she remembers fondly. "I know if my dad was alive, he'd say he's in, let's go," she said.

She expects the whole family to be involved in the kitchen, including daughters daughters Natalie Derifaj and Erica Hoover.

"We're trying to pass on a tradition.

This will be three generations — four with my grandbaby," said Derifaj.

ESSENTIAL KNEADS MASSAGE THERAPY, which already operates in Grafton, is opening a new location at 45181 State Rt. 18.

Owner Charline Kennedy started the business in 2015 in Sheffield, then moved to Grafton. "This is our big venture, to open a second location," she said.

Clients are being accepted now. A grand opening will be held from 3-7 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 17.

Kennedy said the building was move-in ready and didn't require any renovations, which took a lot of stress out of the process.

Her goal is to let clients "know they can come to us for whole body wellness," she said. That includes therapeutic massage as well as medical, sports, and hot stone massage.

New pastor at First Congregational RINI JEFFERS

THE CHRONICLE-TELEGRAM

Cheryl Lindsay was doing just fine, running her own business as a marketing consultant and event planner.

The Cleveland native had her bachelor’s degree in economics from the prestigious Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania and had worked in banking and finance before going the entrepreneur route. She was plenty busy volunteering her time at Mt. Zion Congregational in Cleveland.

And then she got the call, not from a client or a business — but from God. She was enjoying her time at church and taking on increasing responsibilities, singing with the praise team and helping to lead youth when suddenly she realized she needed to go into ministry full-time.

“It made no sense,” she readily admits. “Long story short, I think it was all God’s way of easing me into this idea.”

Lindsay enrolled at Ashland Theological Seminary and earned her master’s degree, then a doctorate in worship studies in 2012.

She was named associate pastor at Mt. Zion until this summer, when she began

her new position June 1 as pastor of First Congregational United Church of Christ, 140 South Main St. in Wellington.

The lifelong “city girl” is learning her way around a town separated from Cleveland’s east side in more than just miles.

“I’m beginning to explore Lorain County. I joined the local Kiwanis here in Wellington and I just worked at Kristin Bauer | Chronicle my first Lorain County Fair.

“I think the church has to be more open to walking alongside people in their own journey of faith, in their own exploration of life, not being dictated to but companions to one another as we explore who God is, what that means in our life and what he is calling us to do," Lindsay said.

She wants to make the church more active within the community. It is currently increasing its involvement with Sleep in Heavenly Peace, a county chapter of volunteers who build and provide beds and bedding to children in need, and is planning to host a kid-friendly activity and offer hot drinks to trick-ortreaters on Halloween. It is exploring ways to support dementia sufferers and their caregivers and Lindsay is considering adding a nontraditional Sunday evening dinner service next year.

She is also starting a sixweek Bible study in October, open to the community, and revamping the church website.

“I think people still want to have that connection, that spiritual meaning, that understanding that there is something greater than themselves,” she said.

“Our role is to inspire that connection and empower people to do ministry they’re called to.”

Gentry said it will involve police, firefighters, EMS, LifeFlight, state troopers, county sheriff's deputies, and other agencies.

Wellington High School students will also be involved, he said.

The scenario — possibly a staged food truck explosion — will allow rescue workers to practice their coordination and medical skills.

Dukes co-captain and lone upperclassman Christina Capek finished at 30:20, crushing her previous best by nearly four minutes.

Estella Ohly also destroyed her best time by almost three minutes, finishing at 31:15 for the 3.1 mile race.

This season, the Dukes junior high girls team consists of only two runners. Eighth grader Naudika Boden finished 47th out of the 112 runners in her race, besting her previous record by 44 seconds (15:13).

New to the team, Harper Fleming improved her personal best time over a minute, with a time of 17:11 for her two-mile race.

The Dukes' only full squad to run this weekend was the middle school boys, who all improved their times tremendously.

Team newcomer Sam Smith finished 16th out of the 157 runners, with a personal best time of 12:00. Right on his heels was seventh-grader Joe Fox, placing 17th and improving his best time by 40 seconds down to 12:20.

Next for the Dukes was co-captain Scott Hook. Though he is still recovering from an ankle injury, he managed to trim 15 seconds from his best time, finishing at 14:28.

Four more seventh-graders round out the Dukes team, all posting improved personal best times. Jonah Stump, fresh off the injured list, dropped over a minute and a half to set his new personal record at 16:03.

Zach Barnes shaved 10 seconds off his

best time, finishing the two-mile course in 16:05. Robert Barnes pulled 45 seconds off his time, down to 16:15. Trevor Ridenour chopped 34 seconds from his time, finishing at 16:06.

Coach Jeff Hook was pleased and excited.

"All but two of these kids are running a different race than they ran last year, or they are new to the sport entirely," he said. "We have had an excellent day, showing much improvement. Christina (Capek) has improved almost eight minutes from her first race of the year. These kids are showing they are in great shape and getting a feel for how to run their race. With the conference meet on Saturday, we are peaking at the right time."

This year, Hook and his wife started an elementary cross country team to get kids started in the sport. There was a 1,000-meter race for the elementary students at the New London meet, the fourth race for the elementary team this season.

Placing third overall was Jeremy Sloan with a time of 4:01. Coming in fourth was Alysa McClain at 4:03. Next for the Dukes and in seventh place overall was Camryn Morris with a time of 4:16. Max Hook finished at 4:17 in ninth place. In 10th place was Allison Gott at 4:19.

"I am excited to have them join the middle school team in the future," said Hook.

Other Dukes elementary racers at New London: • Lakin Sloan — 4:31, 12th • Austin McClain — 4:32, 13th • Camryn Stump — 4:37, 16th • Madelyn Kohler — 4:49, 18th • Michael Fox — 4:51, 19th • Trinity Ridenour — 4:59, 21st • Fynlee Morris — 5:09, 22nd The Dukes will run at the conference meet Saturday at the Equestrian Trails in LaGrange.

Wellington junior Will Palmison shot a 37 on the back nine at districts last week in Division III action, winning a playoff hole to advance as an individual to the OHSAA state golf tournament. It will be held Oct. 11 and 12 at the Ohio State University Scarlet Course. "After the second playoff hole I was just kinda in shock knowing what just happened," said Palmison. "I made the putt and I was like, ‘Wow, I am going to go to state.

That’s something I never even thought of this year.� Wellington finished seventh in the nine-team field, shooting a 369. Senior Jordan McKee shot a 90 while Luke Tandarich (97), Wyatt Sasack (100) and Eric Benko (102) rounded out the lineup. Palmison become the second Lorain County League golfer to make state, joining Firelands’s Jackson Talbott, who qualified in Division II.
