New A-F report cards Ashtabula Harbor draws large numbers for the Wine and Walleye Festival released last week BY STEFANIE WESSELL Gazette Newspapers JEFFERSON - The way the Ohio Department of Education does its report cards for school districts is changing. The ODE is billing the change as Ohio’s public schools “entering an era of greater accountability.” The new school and school district report cards assign A-F letter grades in up to nine performance areas. The grades are available at Ohio’s new interactive report card site, reportcard.education.ohio.gov. Prior report cards assessed schools and districts mostly on achievement test results and rated them using descriptors such as “Excellent” or “Academic Watch.” The terms were unclear for many users, leading the state to eliminate the ratings and move to more commonly understood letter grades. “This report card gives us an opportunity to make huge strides for the boys and girls of Ohio. We can celebrate our
successes and work together hand-in-hand with our communities to improve the areas where we have struggled,” said State Superintendent Dr. Richard A. Ross. Under the old system, more than six out of 10 Ohio school districts were rated “Excellent” or “Excellent with Distinction,” the highest labels possible. Yet the Ohio Board of Regents reports that 40 percent of Ohio graduates who enter an Ohio public college must take one or more remedial courses before they can do college work. Many young students also are struggling to read. In 2012, Ohio had 27,000 third-graders who could not read third-grade material. In addition to using easier to understand letter grades, the new report card system provides parents, taxpayers, school administrators and teachers with a more comprehensive look at the performance of schools and districts, officials said.

Taking care of business
BY DEE RILEY Gazette Newspapers ASHTABULA - A 5K Guppy run started the activities for the Wine and Walleye Festival on Saturday morning at 9 a.m. with around 120 runners. It was estimated that 12,000 to 15,000 people visited the Ashtabula Harbor over the weekend with 11 wineries participating in the wine tasting, 48 venders selling and displaying their wares, food booths, a farm market, an art show by Lake Shore Artists on Sunday and 48 boats on the river. Music from groups such as Good Question, Ernest T and the Four Kings filled the grounds of the wine tasting area and provided a festive mood for the dancers. The attempt to break the Guinness World Record for the most portions of fish (both perch and walleye) and chips sold during an eighthour event on Saturday from 12 to 8 p.m. ended in defeat. The record was 12,105 while

A-Tech student attends Kent State University’s Young Business Scholars Summer Program BY JAN PERALA Geneva Area City Schools JEFFERSON TOWNSHIP - Jason Bernardo, a senior enrolled in the Computer Information Systems program at Ashtabula County Technical and Career Campus (A-Tech), spent a portion of his summer vacation taking care of business. Bernardo joined a select contingent of students from public, private and career- technical schools from across Ohio and Pennsylvania, and as far away a Chicago, at Kent State University’s Young Business Scholars Program on the university’s main campus. The Young Business Scholars program is a five day residential program for students with an interest in
careers in business, sponsored by KSU’s College of Business Administration. Admission to the program is highly selective and is designed to foster entrepreneurism and acquaint participants with principles of business and economics by immersing them in realistic simulations. During the week, delegates to the program work in teams to conceptualize a small business, create a business plan and design the startup, finally evaluating the viability of the enterprise. “Our team, Skyfall, worked on an online business simulation that would take place in the future,” Bernardo said. “We were selling hologram generators. The simulation was organized into economic quarters and we had to control every aspect of the business. We started off strong in the first quarter, but then made some mistakes. We learned though, corrected our mistakes, and finished first in the competition.”

The idea to camp at Indian Trails and hire a bus to visit D-Day Conneaut — the nation’s third-largest World War II event — was the result of brainstorming. Many group members are veterans. “Our Airstream group brainstorms camping ideas all over the country and approves them collectively,” said Mahoning Valley Group President Rick Richardson, of Ashtabula. “Joe suggested D-Day and I suggested camping under the Smolen Gulf Bridge.” Ten Airstreamers, including two from Texas, arrived Aug. 15. Four more who were camping in Girard, Pa., drove over to visit. In addition to the World
War II living history event in Conneaut, the group secured a private lecture on another county tourist attraction from Smolen-Gulf Bridge architect John Smolen. “He and Kevin Grippi talked about the Smolen Gulf Bridge, the other covered bridges in Ashtabula County and covered bridges in general,” Richardson said. “He said Ohio has the second-largest number of covered bridges in the U.S., second to Pennsylvania.” Most unusual, however, was camping under the bridge. The Airstream group was the first to camp in Indian Trails Park history. Mike Wayman, of the Ashtabula Township Park board, gave his approval.
“He said no one had ever asked before,” Richardson said. After visiting the Jefferson Depot flea market and the Jefferson Historical Society on Aug. 17, the group capped off the weekend by attending the final performance of the musical “The Wiz” at the Ashtabula Arts Center’s Straw Hat Theater that evening. The Mahoning Valley Group of Airstream owners was founded 49 years ago. In addition to local residents, the Airstream campers of Aug. 16-17 hailed from western Pennsylvania, Youngstown, Warren. “It was a beautiful sight below the bridge with all those shiny Airstream campers,” Rodgers said.

Group looking for new members to help save ‘the Old Brick’ BY STEFANIE WESSELL Gazette Newspapers ORWELL - People looking to help save a piece of history are invited to get involved with a group dedicated to saving “The Old Brick” in Orwell. Twenty-eight years ago, The Old Brick Historical Society formed for the purpose of saving this local historical structure, located at 7358 Route 45 North in Orwell, and to preserve local history. Over the years, thousands of volunteer hours have been spent at the Old Brick. Volunteers have been involved with such projects as new roofs, boilers, ceilings, windows, gutters, foundations, insulation, septic and well systems, repairs of the porches and inside and outside painting. Local organizations also have used the building and grounds for Christmas parties, dinners, barbecues, picnics, craft shows, wine tast-
ing, car shows, Civil War encampments, historical talks, art shows, weddings and more. But Old Brick Historical Society member Ken Lawrence said the number of the initial members has dwindled over the past 28 years to a point that the Old Brick Historical Society has just a handful of active members. Because of this, Lawrence said the active members can only maintain the present structure to a state that is only open a couple of times a year. The structure cannot continue to be maintained by the present membership, Lawrence said. That is why the group is looking for new members. The group is asking that if an individual, or an organization that they are part of, would like to see The Old Brick live on as a local historical site that can continue to not only preserve local his-

tory but to serve as a host site for other activities, to please step forward to save it. A meeting to gauge interest will be held 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 4, at the Old Brick. “The meeting is to see what local interest there is in keeping this going,” Lawrence said. If there isn’t enough interest or effort put forth by new individuals or groups, The Old Brick Historical Society will come to pass and the building and land sold, possibly to a party that would tear it down, Lawrence said. “It would be sad to say that we would have to remember The Old Brick through pictures and stories and no longer see the 185year-old structure with wide plank floors and early cooking fireplace,” Lawrence said. According to information provided by Lawrence, the
Old Brick was built in 1828, before the present center of Orwell, intersection of routes 322 and 45, was present. It was built when Route 45 was a turnpike known as the “Woods Road” as it cut through a dense woods from Warren, Ohio, to Lake Erie. It was a safe haven for the weary traveler as an inn from 1828 through 1832, to a comfortable stop for James A. Garfield who was a friend of the Pratt family, who owned the Old Brick from 1831-1985. The brick portion of the structure was built from bricks fired on the property and the building is a reminder of the early and proud heritage of the Western Reserve. People interested in keeping The Old Brick from being just a memory and to keep it as a place that the community can still enjoy are asked to come to the organizational meeting on Sept. 4.

REPORT CARDS
“It was time for a clearer way of rating school performance that will help schools and families see what we still have to do to give our students the education they deserve,” Ross said. The new report cards are using standards for grading that are more rigorous. Some people might be surprised to see a lower grade than they’d expect for certain schools or school districts. Additional measures will be added to the report card over the next two years. The report cards also will offer other features that give taxpayers a sharper picture of how their schools are educating students. “The goal of Ohio’s public education system is that every child in every Ohio community gets the education needed to be a successful adult — no exceptions,” added Ross. Also issued last week were the new A-F report cards for career-technical schools and information about the performance of “dropout recovery” community schools.

Capacity building (individual and collective/organizational) is essential to providing high-quality learning and teaching opportunities; Instructional and leadership “best practices” are often dynamic, varying with the community/culture being utilized; Educators and students are far more capable to utilize their creative capacities than many current environments are allowing; and substantive conversation/information exchanges bring greater strength to organizations/individuals as well as increasing their productive potential. Klimek emphasized that all teachers are leaders. Klimek stated, “ The best type of leadership is that which helps those around you produce better results than they would on their own. We want to develop teachers who know how to leverage their skills and experiences to empower students.” Nick Perkoski, Saint John School principal, indicated, “Our teachers embrace Karl’s approach of looking for possibilities. He gave teachers permission to do things differently; engineers seldom reach success on the first attempt. This implies trying new ways to engage students in the learning process. When he commented that this is what business leaders want – people who understand the importance of the inquisitive process of learning by using a hand on approach, it reinforced what the new Core Standards are attempting to set as goals for all learning. New ideas and creative products sometimes take more than one version to attain the desired results. It’s more than memorizing the periodic table, it is focused on critical thinking and a creative approach to learning.” Carla Robison, second grade teacher commented that “information presented applies to every teacher. WE all need to keep changing the lens by which we approach learning. We can’t just keep flapping our wings and hope that something different will take place.” Saint John School will be working with the Square One Foundation to engage in a variety of Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math Projects. The foundation sponsors robotic workshops, automotive engineering, art and engineering projects and other types of workshops both for teachers and students. The majority of schools involved in the Foundation are from the Great Lakes Region but there are schools throughout the country involved with both 2Perspectives and the Square One Foundation. Saint John School is the only school in Northeast Ohio currently engages as a partner with the foundation. The Square One Foundation name was inspired by a high school student who commented that the group helps students and teachers go back to square one to engage in a fresh perspective on education and learning.

I also love taking pictures and designing things. I want to have a business that combines the two, such as web design or multimedia technologies,” Bernardo said.

The Composites Group strengthens senior management The Composites Group, a leading supplier of thermoset composite solutions, has realigned its senior management organization, announced President and Chief Executive Officer Terry Morgan. Hector Diaz-Stringel has been promoted to vice president of manufacturing operations, and Dwight Morgan recently joined the company as vice president of sales and marketing. In addition, company veteran Marc Imbrogno was promoted to the newly created position of corporate director, market/product development. “Realigning the management structure was essential to realizing the potential of the three business units we’ve assembled to form The Composites Group,” said Terry Morgan. The Composites Group was created in 2010 through the combination of Premix Inc., Hadlock Plastics and Quantum Composites. “We now can provide a wide range of composites solutions, from a superior portfolio of compounds to a breadth of molding technologies and complemented by integrated secondary and finishing capabilities,” Morgan added. A native of Mexico, Diaz-Stringel has spent most of his career in the chemicals industry, serving in a progression of engineering, sales and marketing, and operational roles that led to his appointment as president and general manager of Rhein Chemie Corporation, a subsidiary of Lanxess Corporation, Pittsburgh, Pa.

He joined The Composites Group as corporate director of manufacturing operations in 2012.

Dwight Morgan began his career in plastics with M. A. Hanna Company, a predecessor to PolyOne Corporation, where he held a succession of corporate development and general management roles. In 1998, he left Hanna to form Accel Color Corporation, a producer of custom formulated color and additive systems that grew to four facilities and $20 million in annual revenue. When Accel Color was sold to Techmer PM LLC in 2008, Morgan continued to run the company as a wholly owned subsidiary and a member of Techmer’s senior management team. Morgan holds a bachelor’s degree from Kent State University’s School of Journalism, Kent, Ohio, and a juris doctorate degree from the University of Akron School of Law in Ohio, where he is a member of the bar. Imbrogno has been employed with Premix for more than 14 years, during which time he has held various commercial positions, including account management, market management, sales management and business development. He began his career as a research & development chemist at Glastic Corporation. He subsequently joined chemical giant BASF, where he held polymer product development and business development positions. He holds a bachelor of science degree in Chemistry from the University of Akron, Ohio. In this new position, Imbrogno will help align the company’s research and development efforts with market opportunities. The Composites Group is a leading provider of composites solutions to industry, comprised of Premix, Inc., North Kingsville, Ohio, which formulates and produces a wide range of thermoset compounds and molding capabilities; Hadlock Plastics, Geneva, Ohio, which provides value-added thermoset molding solutions; and Quantum, Inc., Bay City, Mich., a developer and manufacturer of high performance thermoset composite compounds.

University Hospitals Conneaut and Geneva medical centers offer continuity of UH-quality cancer care in Ashtabula County Hematology/oncology consultation, testing and chemotherapy are available close to home ASHTABULA COUNTY – University Hospitals (UH) Seidman Cancer Center is the best place to be for inpatient care, however, Ashtabula County residents with common types of cancer don’t have to travel far to receive the advanced outpatient care they need from UH. From consultation, testing and diagnosis to chemotherapy infusion services, UH Conneaut and Geneva medical centers work together to provide the continuity of cancer care patients need in their own community. “Many cancers can be treated with chemotherapy every week or every three weeks, even once a month,” says Jason A. Stern, DO, hematologist and oncologist at UH Geneva Medical Center and Clinical Assistant Professor at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine. “Typically, someone from the area with breast, lung or colon cancer can come to UH Geneva Medical Center for their consultation, testing and checkups and get their infusion at UH Conneaut Medical Center.” Currently, the hospitals’ continuity of cancer care optimizes weekly treatments. “Dr. Stern sees patients in Geneva on Tuesdays, and we offer chemotherapy in Conneaut on Mondays,” says Rosanne M. Casal, MSN, CNP, OCN, Nurse Practitioner, UH Conneaut Medical Center and UH Seidman Cancer Center. “Many of our patients were born here, so they’re very happy to be able to receive the services they need at UH Conneaut Medi-

cal Center. It’s the same high quality of care they would receive at UH Seidman Cancer Center in Cleveland.” Convenience and state-ofthe-art University Hospitals care aren’t the only benefits for Ashtabula County-area chemotherapy patients. “We offer individualized care at our infusion center that is very comforting,” says Karen McNeil, BSN, RN, Chief Nursing Officer, UH Conneaut and Geneva medical centers. “Patients have their own room with a private bathroom and TV. Family members can stay with them. If it’s lunchtime, we offer them a tray from our cafeteria. It’s a very restful, homelike environment at UH Conneaut Medical Center.” Infusion patients also benefit from having complete physician and nursing backup while being treated
at UH Conneaut Medical Center. If they need lab work, they can come to the hospital to have that done first and then proceed to the infusion center. “For treatments and tests that can be done without going to UH Seidman Cancer Center on our main campus, patients appreciate being able to stay close by, especially those who are older or who aren’t feeling their best,” says Teresa Pelow, RN, BSN, Infusion Nurse, UH Conneaut Medical Center. Gregory Loyd of Ashtabula was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma by Dr. Stern in September 2012. His chemotherapy treatment required him to come to UH Conneaut Medical Center every two weeks over a six-month period. “I was stage III, but Dr. Stern told me it’s one of the more
treatable forms of cancer,” says Loyd, 59. “I was able to stay in the county for my chemo, which ended in February. I’ve had two CT scans so far since then and they haven’t found any cancer. Dr. Stern and the nurses are wonderful and everyone took good care of me.” “I can’t thank Dr. Nathan Levitan, President, UH Seidman Cancer Center, Dr. Jason Stern and Rosanne Casal enough for bringing exceptional cancer care close to home for our patients,” says Robert G. David, President, UH Conneaut and Geneva medical centers. “Their support has been overwhelming.” To schedule a hematology/oncology consultation or to learn more about the continuity of cancer care at UH Conneaut and Geneva medical centers, call 440-4661141.
AUSTINBURG TOWNSHIP - Last year, the Austinburg Veterinary Clinic finished in the top five for the 2012 American Animal Hospital Association Hospital of the Year. That recognition has only strengthened the Austinburg Veterinary Clinic’s commitment to setting the standard in patient care and client service. AAHA, established in 1933, is the only organization that accredits small animal hospitals. The accreditation is voluntary and involves nearly 1,000 standards like patient care, behavioral issues, pain management and client service. Located at 1568 State Route 45 in Austinburg Township, the Austinburg Veterinary Clinic is overseen by veterinarians Dr. Rebecca Salinger and Dr. Susan Paulic, who became partners in 2008 after merging two clinics. “We had always talked about doing something together, and this is the opportunity that came up,” Paulic said. Along with their staff, Paulic and Salinger believe in providing patients with the very best, compassionate veterinary care, hence the motto of: “Setting a higher standard for compassionate care.” To fulfill that motto, Austinburg Veterinary Clinic is always looking at new services to offer its patients. One of these new services is the free vaccinations for life program. Paulic said this program came about as they saw their patients struggling to provide their pets with the recommended care because of a tough economy. Under this program, clients pay an enrollment fee for each pet. When they bring their pets in for their yearly wellness exam, any core vaccines the doctors determine their pet should have are free of charge. The core vaccines for dogs are the Distemper/Parvo booster and rabies and the core vaccinations for cats are the Distemper/upper respiratory booster and rabies. “It is a way for us to help people keep their pets healthy,” Paulic said. Another program offered to clients is the feral cat program, designed to help keep the population down and not duplicate efforts. The program provides greatly discounted spays, neuters and vaccinations for stray and feral cats. It is partially funded by donations through the clinic’s Pets Helping Pets Fund. “We know we have a big feral cat problem in the county,” Paulic said. Since this program is aimed at stray and feral cats, all cats that are sterilized have their left ear tipped. This universal sign allows the cats to be identified as already sterilized from a distance and pre-

Here she is pictured with one of the puppies. vents recapture, transportation, anesthetization and potential surgery on previously sterilized cats. The Austinburg Veterinary Clinic also continues to expand on the kinds of animals it treats. Besides dogs and cats, the clinic also has begun to treat “exotic” animals like rabbits, ferrets, hamsters, guinea pigs, birds and sugar gliders, a marsupial. Paulic completed extra training to be able to offer this service. “My hope is to be able to help people care for their exotic pets better so they can live longer,” Paulic said. Austinburg Veterinary Clinic also is always looking for the latest technology to provide the best patient care. The veterinarians at Austinburg recognized long ago that it wasn’t simply good enough to offer the highest quality medicine, but the most thorough and most efficient as well. Some of the services offered include blood and lab work in the in-house laboratory, glaucoma screening, microchipping and digital x-ray. The clinic also offers healthy puppy and kitty programs, preventative care, dental care and surgical care. Some of the newest technology includes a therapy laser to relieve pain and help injured cells heal more quickly, as well a surgical laser to correct conditions such as tumors, warts and infections. Salinger also uses Acupuncture as an alternative to relieve pressure or pain in her patients. Both Salinger and Paulic graduated from The Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine. Salinger is a member of the Ohio Veterinary Medical Licensing Board, while Paulic is a member of The Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine Alumni Association. New patients are welcome at the Austinburg Veterinary Clinic, which is located at 1568 State Route 45 in Austinburg. Hours are 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday through Friday and 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday. Call (440) 275-1071 for more info or visit www. austinburgvetclinic.com.

Ray Braat, Jared McCaleb, Jason Norman, Trae Randolph, and Zack Vencill all carried the ball for the Warriors and contributed well.

Changes for the upcoming waterfowl seasons include a decrease in the scaup bag limit to three, an increase in the canvasback bag limit to two and the youth waterfowl season will now be Oct. 5-6 statewide. See the 2013-2014 Waterfowl Hunting Seasons for more waterfowl hunting information, including zone maps. Ohio is divided into three zones for duck, coot and merganser hunting. The seasons are split in each zone during the following dates: Duck hunting season in the Lake Erie Marsh Zone is Oct. 12-27 and Nov. 9 - Dec. 22. Duck hunting season in the North Zone is Oct. 19 - Nov. 3 and Nov. 30 - Jan. 12, 2014. Duck hunting season in the South Zone is Oct. 19 - Nov. 3 and Dec. 14 - Jan. 26, 2014. The daily bag limit for ducks is six, which may not include more than four mallards (no more than one may be female), three wood ducks, one black duck, two redheads, three scaup, two canvasback, two pintails and one mottled duck. The daily bag limit for mergansers is five, of which no more than two may be hooded mergansers. The daily bag limit for coots is 15. Possession limits after the second day are three times the daily bag limit. Ohio is also divided into three zones for goose and brant hunting. The seasons are split in each zone during the following dates: Goose hunting in the Lake Erie Canada Goose Zone is
Oct. 12-27 and Nov. 9 - Jan. 9, 2014. Goose hunting in the North Zone is Oct. 19 - Nov. 3 and Nov. 30 - Jan. 30, 2014. Goose hunting in the South Zone is Oct. 19 - Nov. 3 and Nov. 30 - Jan. 30, 2014. The daily bag limit for Canada geese is three. Light geese (snows, Ross’s and blues) have a daily bag limit of 10, whitefronted geese have a daily bag limit of one and brant have a daily bag limit of one. The possession limit for brant and geese is three times the daily bag limit after the first day. Hunters 15 years of age and younger will have the opportunity to enjoy a statewide special youth waterfowl season Oct. 5-6. Bag limits established during the regular season apply. Licensed falconers can hunt ducks, geese, mergansers and coots statewide from Feb. 8 - March 4, 2014, and in the Lake Erie Marsh, North and South Zones whenever they are open to duck hunting. Harvest Information Program (HIP) certification is required of all waterfowl hunters prior to hunting. Migratory game bird hunters must call 877-HIPOHIO (447-6446) and answer a few survey questions to complete the HIP certification requirement. Once the survey has been completed, hunters will be provided a certification number to write on their Ohio hunting license. Waterfowl hunters age 18 and older must also purchase an Ohio Wetlands Habitat Stamp, available at any hunting license agent or wildohio.com. In addition, all waterfowl hunters age 16 and older must possess a signed federal duck stamp, which can be purchased at most post offices. Copies of this season’s waterfowl hunting regulations, which include maps of the zones, will be available at wildohio.com or available at all license agent outlets by late September. ODNR ensures a balance between wise use and protection of our natural resources for the benefit of all. Visit the ODNR website at ohiodnr.gov.
COLUMBUS, OH – Ohio’s squirrel hunting season opens Sunday, Sept. 1, when many hunters will go to the woods with the opportunity to take as many as six squirrels per day, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR). Ohio’s squirrel season is a longtime tradition for many hunters. Ample hunting opportunities are available for fox, gray, black and red squirrels. This is an excellent time to take a young person hunting, or scout for the upcoming deer and fall wild turkey hunting seasons. Legal hunting hours for squirrels are one half-hour before sunrise to sunset daily, and the season runs through Jan. 31, 2014. Squirrel season will be closed during the one-week statewide deer gun season, Dec. 2-8. The eighth annual Squirrel Hunting Cooperator Survey conducted by the ODNR Division of Wildlife compared hunter results and nut crop ratings to provide an index of Ohio’s squirrel population status. The abundance of nut crops is a good indicator of squirrel populations for the following year. The statewide nut production ratings for the fall of 2012 was higher than 2011. All tree species, except beech, showed above average production in 2012. However, a cold winter in 2012-2013 may have negatively impacted squirrel densities. The 2013-2014 harvest may not equal the above average harvests of the past two seasons, although a good harvest is still expected for this season. Primary fox squirrel range occurs in the agricultural landscapes in northeastern and western Ohio, whereas the primary gray squirrel range is in the extensively forested east-central, southeastern and south-central Ohio. Gray squirrels are more dependent on hard mast such as acorns and hickory nuts, and their abundance is closely tied to the mast crop of the previous fall. Fox squirrels are less dependent upon mast crop resources and are more likely to consume supplemental food in agricultural areas. Hunters who wish to participate in the Squirrel Hunting Cooperator Survey, designed to track trends in nut crops and squirrel populations across Ohio, should contact the Waterloo Wildlife Research Station, 360 E. State St., Athens, Ohio 45701, at 740-589-9930 for more information. ODNR ensures a balance between wise use and protection of our natural resources for the benefit of all.

Joel Watson sealed his second consecutive championship in the Bonnell Collision Center E-Mod with his sixth win of the season. Chris Withers drove to his seventh win of the season and clinched the 2013 Western Reserve Animal Clinic Street Stock Championship, his second at Raceway 7, the first coming in 2011.

Matt Latta and Kyle Zimmerman led the Evergreen Lake Park Campground FASTRAK Late Models to the green with Latta leading the way and Chad Wright, who wrapped up the points title merely by starting the event, coming to second before the end of one lap. At lap nine Wright pulled even with Latta on the back stretch and to the lead by the end of the lap. With nine laps complete Mike Mitchell looped his mount in turn one, bringing caution over the field. For the restart one lap prior to halfway the top five were Wright, Latta, Zimmerman, Dan Angelicchio, and last week’s winner Dennis Lunger. Zimmerman got the advantage at the green and a lap later Lunger was challenging Latta for the third spot, gaining it on lap thirteen. With five remaining Angelicchio had come to fourth and the order remained the same to the checkers with Wright gaining his fifth win of the season and his first track championship at Raceway 7. The top five were Wright, Zimmerman, Lunger, Angelicchio, and Latta. Brian Douglas and Josh McDonald led the Bonnell Collision Center E-Mods to the
Hathaway also clinches, Minis go to final week green with Douglas taking the immediate lead but third-starting Joel Watson, the defending champion and current point’s leader, coming to the lead at the end of two laps. Mike Potosky spun in turn two on lap three, bringing yellow out even though he never stopped. Only one more lap was run under green before another yellow, this time for a spin by Bill Taylor. Watson led the field back to green with his cousin Bud Watson second and Douglas third. Four more yellows for minor incidents slowed the race before six laps were complete. At halfway Watson led Bud Watson, with Former champion Percy McDonald third, Mike Potosky fourth, from the rear after the lap three incident and Dan McDonald fifth. With five to go caution again flew for the final time. The McDonalds and Potosky waged a spirited three-wide battle for third but Percy McDonald prevailed with Potosky fourth and Dan McDonald fifth. Joel Watson’s win, the sixth of the season, wrapped up his successful defense of his championship mantle. Cousin Bud Watson was second at the checkers. The Western Reserve Animal Clinic Street Stocks started with Mike Harmon and Eric Reinwald on the front row but Shawn Fawcett coming to the lead by turn two. At the end of lap two Rusty Wheeler and John Bailey spun coming out of turn four, bringing caution over the raceway. After green Fawcett resumed the lead with points leader Chris Withers and Eric Reinwald fighting over second until Withers competed the pass at lap four. On lap eight Withers caught the leader just as Jonny Boyd spun in turn four. For the restart it was again Fawcett leading with Withers and Reinwald second and third, but Mike Harmon came to a halt in turn two, again slowing the event. Bailey spun in turn two at lap ten, again necessitating caution. One lap after green, Withers got by Fawcett, then went on to his seventh feature win of 2013 and sealing the season championship.

Tony Hyde led the McDonalds Meats Economods feature from the pole but retired to the pits under the first caution period, at the end of lap one when Jamie Scharba and Brian Hathaway, the points leader, spun in turn one. Russ Kapalin led the field back to the green but Steve Samuelson was the leader after one lap with Casey Bowers challenging for the spot at the end of three. Scharba again looped his mount during lap four, with Gene Crouch then spinning to avoid contact. Bowers came to second after one more lap under green and to the lead after five laps. The next yellow came right after the lead change when Kyle Fellows turned his car around in turn two. Hathaway was marching to the front in his quest for his first championship, up to third by the time of the next caution at lap six, when Josh Ferry and Kyle Fellows spun. Hathaway challenged Bowers through lap seven but after another yellow, Hathaway suffered mechanical problems, coming to a halt in turn two. With six laps remaining Steinle Sr, second in points, spun in turn two. With five to go Fellows spun for the third time and headed to the pits. After yet another caution, Bowers went on to the win, his first of the season, with Kapalin second, Scharba third, Samuelson fourth, and Jodi
Woodworth Sr fifth. The championship is Hathaway’s as Steinle’s seventh place finish does not close the gap to within 75 points going into the final week. Logan Keney and Tim Fisher started the Specialty Products Mini Stock feature at the front with Fisher assuming the immediate lead. Zach Downes, last week’s feature winner got into the wall on turn one, meaning a complete restart. Fisher again led after green with Alex Paden coming to second. At the line at the end of three laps Paden took over at the front with Caleb Hickok up to third from sixth at the green. At halfway Paden led Fisher, Hickok, Jason Easler, and Downes, after restarting at the rear of the pack. With two to go Paden had a quarter lap lead over Downes, now up to second. At the checkers Paden won by a quarter lap over Downes with Hickok third, Jason Easler fourth, and Bud Sergeff fifth. It was Paden’s first visit to Raceway 7.

A veteran Spartan squad shut out a youthful Dragon team, 6-0. Jake Spees had a big game for the Spartans, netting four goals. “Jake had a big game, he was able to beat the other kid down the field to the corner,” Conneaut coach Rich Shields said. Conneaut struck quickly. In the twenty-sixth minute Spees found the back of the net on a throw-in pass from Kyle Sprinkle. Just before the halftime break, Dylan Campbell sent a shot toward the Dragon goal, Lakeside keeper Jake Cimorelli made a diving stop but the ball rebounded to his left. Spartan freshman Max Barrickman controlled the ball and sent it back into the net, 2-0.

Conneaut begins the campaign 1-0. “Conneaut outran us, but we played a good game, it was a learning experience,
we did well in a physical game,” Lakeside coach Andrew Austin said. “We have a very young team, only two seniors, and four juniors. The majority of the team are sophomores and freshmen. We will start four freshmen who will gain experience. There are a lot of new faces and new blood. The sophomore core is very good. This is a very unselfish team,” Austin added. Austin will be assisted this season by Lakeside grad Juan Aguinaga.

To help our snowaffects Ashtabula County chemical control of pond bird farmers with this preDecision allows farmers to apply for USDA assistance COLUMBUS — The U.S. Department of Agriculture designated one Ohio county as agricultural natural disaster areas, making certain farmers and other agricultural producers in the counties eligible for low-interest emergency loans from USDA’s Farm Service Agency (FSA). Erie County was designated in Pennsylvania as a primary natural disaster area, caused by frost, excessive rain, and a tornado that occurred between May 28, 2013, and July 12, 2013. Ashtabula county, in Ohio, is also eligible because it is contiguous. The county listed above was designated as natural disaster areas on August 7, 2013, making all qualified farm operators in the designated areas eligible for low-interest emergency loans from USDA’s FSA, provided eligibility requirements are met. To qualify, farmers must be unable to obtain credit from commercial sources and meet eligibility require-
ments. Farmers in eligible counties have eight months from the date of the declaration to apply for loans to help cover part or all of their actual losses. FSA will consider each loan application on its own merits, taking into account the extent of losses, security available and repayment ability. FSA has a variety of programs, in addition to the emergency loan program, to help eligible farmers recover from adversity. Additional programs available to assist farmers include the Emergency Conservation Program, Federal Crop Insurance, and the Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Program. Interested farmers may contact their local USDA Service Centers for further information on eligibility requirements and application procedures for these and other programs. Additional information is also available online at http://disaster.fsa.usda.gov.

Triploid Grass Carp (White Amur) can be successfully used to control excessive amounts of pond vegetation as an alternative to chemicals, water shade and physical harvesting. Stocking rates recommended vary – many people recommend a flat rate of 10 fish per acre of 10-12” size. Successfully managed ponds have 30 to 40-percent of pond area vegetated for fish habitat. A POND DEVOID OF VEGETATION IS UNDESIRABLE; KEEP 30 to 40-percent of POND EDGE VEGETATED. This provides suitable area for fish to spawn and also prevents shoreline erosion. Factors involved in proper stocking include: 1) Size of pond surface area. 2) Percentage of pond shallower than 8 inches 3) Percentage of pond vegetated in JulyAugust

Hospice of the Western Reserve Volunteer Education Series looking for volunteers Hospice of the Western Reserve is seeking volunteers to assist in private residences, nursing homes, assisted living communities, our two Hospice House locations, and hospital settings. As a vital part of Hospice of the Western Reserve’s team, volunteers come from all walks of life, and have a variety of skills, talents and abilities. Opportunities to serve are diverse: visit patients and families to provide companionship, socialization, and comfort, help with legacy work, transportation, light housework, meal preparation, run errands, make phone calls, help with clerical work, attend health fairs, make a presentation. Volunteers with specialized professional qualifications and training are also needed: attorneys, licensed hair dressers, massotherapists, pet therapy dogs and their handlers. The next series of volunteer classes will be held at Hospice of the Western Reserve, 17876 St. Clair Ave., Cleveland, OH 44110 on Wednesdays & Fridays, November 6 – November 22 (no class 11/8) from 12:30 - 4:30 p.m. Teen and nonclinical volunteers require attendance at the first class and 2 hours of self study, while clinical volunteers must attend all the classes and the self study. Pre-registration is required. For more information or to register, call Mary McGowan at 800-707-8922 ext. 6881.
