Pymatuning Valley third grade students recite the pledge of allegiance as an introduction to their veteran’s day musical performance. BY WENDY GRUSKIEWICZ Gazette Newspapers ANDOVER - Cameras flashed and videophones were held high last Thursday as proud parents and relatives recorded the sights and sounds of the Pymatuning Valley third grade musical salute to area veterans. More than 50 third grade students, each clad in black pants or skirts and white shirts or blouses, filed onto the stage of the Veteran’s
Memorial Performing Arts Center at 7:30 p.m. to present a musical tribute to all veterans. The stage was decorated with handmade red, white and blue paper flags. Some of the flags, crafted by the PV Kindergarten classes, floated down from their attachments along the stage, prompting spectator participation to re-attach them. Director John Hulburt began the presentation with a rendition of the history of the Pledge of Allegiance, which the students recited.
The audience of more than 150 rose from their seats to join in both recitation of the pledge and the singing of the Star Spangled Banner. Hulburt identified the writer of each song and explained the history behind the song prior to the performance of each number. Songs selected included “There are many flags in many lands,” “God Bless the USA” and “Coming to America.”

During the anniversary week, Dobay donated $85 to Home Safe Inc., the county’s domestic violence shelter for women, from the hair cuts done. They also took donations of paper products and non-perishables for the shelter. During this month and into December Pam’s Hair Magic customers can bring in donations of canned goods and other non-perishables for County Neighbor Center in Orwell. “We will take the donations up to the Monday before Christmas. We still go to a number of hair styling seminars to keep up on the latest products and styles,” Dobay said. This past weekend Dobay and Noce were off to one class seminar on new beauty products held in Lansing, Michigan. “We’ve always gone to classes during the year to keep up with our license education requirements,” she added. “I used to help out with the Orwell Chamber ’s

If they want to donate their locks we partner with Wigs for Kids in Westlake. The wigs are for kids who have undergone cancer treatment or other related illnesses losing their own hair. We have a box ready to go in the mail to Wigs for Kids. We keep track of the donors and they get a thank you from the company,” Dobay said. The shop hours are Monday-Wednesday 9 to 5 p.m., Thursday 9-8 p.m., Friday 8 to 5 p.m., and Saturday 8 to 3 p.m. On Saturdays senior citizen customers get a 10 percent discount on their appointments, Dobay said. The shop staff also specializes in nails, ear piercing and makeup consultations. Walk-in customers are also welcome, the owner said.

Ashtabula County Commissioner Dan Claypool told the crowd and Schamberg family, “What do you really say about someone who gave everything.” The commissioner said it was the first time he’d ever been a participant at a ceremony for a serviceman, who laid down his life to preserve this country’s freedom and for those overseas. Claypool along with Commissioner Peggy Carlo publicly thanked all veterans on this special day. State Senator Capri Cafaro, who helped get legislation passed in the Ohio General Assembly to rename the state highway honoring the young soldier, presented a special plaque to the Schambergs. Cafaro said the initial work was started by former legislator Deborah Newcomb of Conneaut upon request from the Schamberg family. Orwell’s mayor and others prodded Ohio Department of Transportation officials earlier this year to finally obtain the signs. American Legion Commander Morris took his turn

at the podium. Before leading the crowd in prayer, Morris said, “We are gathered today, Nov. 11, 2011 for a grateful and patriotic duty, to dedicate that portion of the road known as U.S. Route 322, located within the municipal corporation of Orwell in Ashtabula County only, shall be known as the Sgt. Kurt D. Shamberg Orwell Veterans Memorial Highway.” He called it a perpetual memorial to “our comrades who served our country to preserve the many freedom that we enjoy.” Morris in his prayer said in part, “Please watch over our brave service men and women that are scattered all over this great globe, working to keep us safe, Lord, keep them safe from harm, bring them home safely to their families. Amen.” A three-member squad of American Legion veterans fired off a 21-gun salute volley of shots, followed by GV band director, Tim Carlson playing Taps. Near the end of the ceremony as snow continued to fall, Bottoms called on Thomas Schamberg for a few words. Schamberg emotionally expressed the gratitude and thanks from his family to all attending, in particular the officials involved in renaming the highway section. In speaking to the high school students present in the crowd, Schamberg challenged them to serve their country well in the years ahead. Many friends and strangers lingered to chat with the Schamberg family and community neighbors.

Book fair chairperson Wanda Voelker said setup for the annual fair began on Nov. 2 with both student and adult volunteers unpacking boxes full of books and setting up displays in the middle school library. Voelker, who has chaired the fair for three years, said students were escorted into the fair each day during regular school hours. They could make out a wish list of books to

said. Wi l l i a m ’s brother Wyatt hunted down the book “Crocodile Tears” by author Alex Rider. “I like the author and I am trying to read everything in his series,” Wyatt said. Both brothers were taking their last chance to purchase books on Thursday as the weeklong book fair ended during the regularly scheduled parent teacher conferences.

Proceeds from the sale will be used to purchase books for the classrooms as well as magazine subscriptions for math, art, science and social studies periodicals. Several hundred books were sold during the event, requiring a re-order of about 40 popular titles, Voelker said.

Hulburt asked veterans or family of veterans in the audience to rise and be recognized as their branch of the service was honored during an enthusiastic choir medley of armed service songs that included immediately recognizable songs from the Marines, Army, Air Force, Navy and Merchant Marines. “We are here to honor you and your service to our country,” Hulburt said. Audience member Robert Hitchcock stood to be recognized for his service to the Army as the choir sang, “ Those caissons go rolling along.” Hitchcock was stationed in Frankfort, Germany during the Vietnam
War period. A dedication and presentation of a one-of-a-kind piece of artwork was held a year earlier during the Pymatuning Valley third grade Veteran’s Day concert. Pymatuning Valley High School graduates Rick and Derrick McCowien worked for almost four years to bring to fruition their plan of honoring American Veterans. The brothers donated a life size sculpture of an American Bald Eagle. The eagle is encased in a custom made, glass-enclosed viewing stand that dominates the lobby of the Veterans Memorial Performing Art Center at Pymatuning Valley High School.

Andover Council mulls buying adjacent land near recreation fields By DORIS COOK Gazette Newspapers ANDOVER VILLAGE Several vacant acres on Ohio Street has been offered for sale to Andover Village if the price is right. The acreage is adjacent to the village’s recreation park on Chestnut Street, said village administrator Joe DiBell. Dibell told village council at Tuesday night’s session that the offer came from a realty company handling the land sale. The owner wants $38,000 for the two parcels, he said, but wanted to offer it first to the village. Council President Myra Brown subbing for absent Mayor Bernard Baranowski referred the sale offer to the parks and recreation committee to look into, then come back to the council with a recommendation. The committee comprised of Councilors Curt Williams, Michael Olesky and Kathleen Jones said they would meet today (Thursday) and discuss the feasibility of buying the property. Zoning inspector Glenn Slusher said the property in question is wet in spots and was timbered. He said to his knowledge the two parcels

Andover Village Council President Myra Brown presided at the Nov. 15 council session subbing for Mayor Bernard Baranowski, who was unable to attend. The council had shifted its meeting to this past Tuesday instead of its regular Nov. 8 meeting for lack of a quorum. Next to Brown is village attorney Richard Kotila. have been for sale for some time. Several women residents of the Andover Apartments complex asked council and Police Chief Randy Gentry to check on recent incidents involving a male wrapping on doors in the middle of the night. Gentry said the police had responded to several calls received from the apartment residents on the incidents. “I have heard about it after the fact, but officers have responded when we got a call or two recently. We are taking measures to deal with
it,” Gentry said, but did not indicate more information for security purposes. He also advised the apartment residents to not open their doors to strangers especially in the middle of the night,but should call Andover police immediately. At this point, Gentry said it appeared only women living in the complex were being targeted by the unknown individual. In other action, the council placed on second reading legislation to adopt a permanent capital improvements plan using the village’s in-
come tax for 2012. A third reading of the ordinance will be taken up at the Dec.11 meeting. Council passed as an emergency a resolution accepting the proposal from Love Insurance Agency Inc. for $19,980 for general liability and property damage insurance coverage for the village for one year. They also approved paying bills amounting to $29,231.70 and accepted the Andover Union Cemetery Board minutes of the Sept. 11 meeting. Chief Gentry presented his monthly report of police department activities. The department handled 76 call or complaints, made seven arrests and issued nine traffic citations. Gentry said the annual village Halloween Trick and Treat night went “very well with no trouble reported.” DiBell said the street department helped put up the Christmas holiday decorations over the last week in the and around Andover Village square. Brown thanked DiBell and street crew for helping get the work done for the upcoming Chamber of Commerce sponsored Simply Christmas event set for Nov. 25-27.

Help Your Child Succeed In Math Pymatuning Laker Watch By Alex G. Geordan
Superintendent Pymatuning Valley Local Schools We would like to highlight several ways you can assist a youngster in their math ability with the following article. One can increase the confidence level in students if they understand these few points: 1. Although most problems have only one answer, there may be many ways to get to that answer. Learning math is more than finding the correct answer; it’s also a process of solving problems and applying what is learned to new problems. 2. Accuracy is always important in math. However, sometimes you can use a wrong answer to help your child figure out why they made mistakes. Analyzing wrong answers can help children understand the concepts underlying a problem and apply reasoning skills to arrive at the correct answer. Ask your child to explain how they solved math problems. Their explanations might help you discover if they need help with number skills, such as addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, or with the concepts involved in solving the problem. 3. Help your child to be a risk taker. Help them see the value of trying to solve a problem, even if it’s difficult. Give your child time to explore different approaches to solving a difficult problem. As they work, encourage them to talk about what they are thinking. This will help them
strengthen math skills and become independent thinkers and problem solvers. Here are some other things you can do to help your child be a successful mathematics student: Visit your child’s schools. Meet with their teachers and ask how they approach mathematics. Do they enjoy it? Do they participate actively? Do they understand assignments and complete them accurately? If teachers indicate that your child has problems with math, ask for specific things that you can do to help them. Check math homework and other assignments. It’s usually a good idea to check to see that young children have finished their math homework assignments. If older children have trouble finishing assignments, check their work, too. After your child’s teacher returns math homework, have your child bring it home so that you can read the comments to see if they have done the assignment satisfactorily. Help your child see that the mathematics they are learning is very much a part of everyday life. From statistics in sports to the sale price of clothing to the amount gas needed to travel from one town to another, mathematics is important to us every day. Help your child link their “school” math to practical events. Point out that many jobs require mathematical skills. Your child may recognize that many people must have good math skills to do their jobs – scientists, doctors, computer technicians, accountants and bankers, for example. However, they may not realize that many other jobs also require math. Point out that math is used in jobs such as running a business; being a plumber, carpenter, electrician or mechanic; being a salesperson or clerk, and designing clothes – or buildings. This article just gives us, as parents, a little ammunition on those tough nights sitting with our youngsters helping them complete their math homework. Let children know that having strong math skills will open up many great career opportunities in the future. Have a healthy week.

The jolly old bearded man in red, Santa Claus and Mrs. Claus will arrive riding on an Andover Fire Department truck. Other marching units are invited to participate in the parade as well.

Hot chocolate, coffee and treats will be served at the fire station. Special performers for the Simply Christmas celebration are instrumentalists Richard and Elizabeth Sesco, who are known as Phido. The Andover Public Library along with area business places are also decorating their store fronts and windows for the holiday season coming up. Following the parade is the countdown to lighting all the trees and other decorations around the square, said Brenner.

A-Tech Masonry Students Build Foundation for Barn at Blakeslee Log Cabin Site Seniors in the Masonry II program at Ashtabula County Technical and Career Campus (A-Tech) demonstrated skills which form the cornerstone for their future careers by building the foundation for an imposing structure on the grounds of the historic Blakeslee Log Cabin in Plymouth Township. A-Tech Masonry and Carpentry students collaborated to construct a barn on the Blakeslee Log Cabin grounds, a site steeped in Ashtabula County history, literally from the ground up. “These kids are very talented and they did an outstanding job on the barn,” said Barrie Bottorf of the Ashtabula County Historical Society which maintains the site. “This barn, which is badly needed to display and store a large cache of artifacts discovered at the Blakeslee Log Cabin site, is a monument to their craftsmanship.” The barn’s carefully crafted stone foundation and its siding, already weathering to silver, blend seamlessly with the rolling wooded site’s historic log cabin which was built in 1810. “I told the students that if they need job references in the future, I’d be glad to write for any of them,” said Bottorf. “I would hire any one of them.” A-Tech Masonry students have had a hand in numerous community projects including work at the Dorset Cemetery and Community Center, and the school’s carpentry students recently completed construction of Geneva’s Liberty Bridge, the nation’s shortest covered bridge.

Traveling During the Holidays?
Audio Books Ease the Time in Transit By Tom Milligan Community Relations Coordinator Ashtabula County District Library If you’ll be traveling this holiday season, you might be looking for ways to make the time in transit seem to pass more quickly—and really, nothing does it quite like a good audiobook. Here are a few suggestions from among the thousands of titles available from Ashtabula County District Library. If you’re a mystery fan, you might like the novel called, simply, “Mystery,” by Jonathan Kellerman, the latest in his series featuring Alex Delaware, the Los Angeles psychologist called on once again by homicide detective Milo Sturgis to provide some psychological insight into the mind of the murderer of a young woman, a stranger who seemed out of place at one of Delaware’s favorite restaurants just a few hours before her death. The series, which began in 1985, has been praised for its pair of “engaging protagonists,” careful plotting and surprising twists. If contemporary biography is more your passion, there’s “My Father at 100” by Ron Reagan, described as “a conflicted tribute to a distant, almost mythical figure,” to whom he felt close even though he found him “remote and intensely private.” The book recounts family history, offers analysis of some of the father’s exploits, as well as “touching accounts” of the former president’s final years, yet suggests the resentments that inevitably
arise between fathers—especially famous ones—and their sons. Fans of the other political party might prefer “The Obamas,” by Peter Firstbrook, who traces the family history back 400 years to their origins among the second-largest tribe in Kenya, and journeys through several ancestral lands before religious differences (some of the family were Muslim, but some were SeventhDay Adventists) separated them. The President’s paternal grandfather, who travelled outside Africa, fought in two world wars and witnessed a bloody revolt against the British, emerges as an important figure whose political passions may have had an influence far beyond what he realized. Of course if simple relief from the stress of the journey is what you’re after, you could do worse than “Bossypants,” the new book by Tina Fey, which traces her coming of age in Pe n n sylvan ia t hr oug h amateur improv gigs in Chicago and the early Saturday Night Live sketches, offering a “fascinating glimpse behind the curtain of modern comedy.” And it’s read by author herself, which, as one reviewer notes, makes it “almost having drinks with Tina.” If you’ve got a teen or
pre-teen along on the expedition, you could do worse than provide an introduction to the James Patterson young adult series through “Maximum Ride: The Angel Experiment,” the first of what is expected to be an eightpart series by the time the last novel comes out next summer. The Maximum Ride series follows the exploits of The Flock, six genetically-altered kids who, among other unusual talents, are able to fly. As the members of The Flock are 98 percent human and 2 percent avian, their enemies The Erasers are part human and part wolf, and the action of “The Angel Experiment” centers around the rescue of the youngest member of The Flock, whom the Erasers have kidnapped and taken back to The School, where all of them were created and from which they escaped to live in freedom. And if you’re looking for something the whole family might enjoy, try “Dewey the Library Cat,” by Vicki Myron, the librarian who discovered a kitten abandoned and nearly frozen to death in her library’s bookdrop. The cat survived to become a feline photographer ’s model, friend to many library staff and visitors and a fixture at the library for nearly the next 20 years. There are more than a thousand audiobooks from which to choose from the catalog at Ashtabula County District Library. If you’re looking for entertainment to accompany a long journey this holiday season, there’s certain to be something that’ll suit your tastes.
Something to be Thankful for...
A-Tech student wins scholarship to attend Kent State University’s College of Business Administration BY JAN PERALA Ashtabula County Technical and Career Campus JEFFERSON - Bree Zalar, a senior from Jefferson Area High School enrolled in the Business & Marketing Management program at Ashtabula County Technical and Career Campus (A-Tech), helped her team to a first place finish in competition at Kent State University’s Young Business Scholars Program garnering a $1,000 scholarship to study Business Administration at the university’s main campus. The Young Business Scholars program is a fiveday program for students considering careers in business sponsored by KSU’s College of Business Administration. Admission to the program is highly selective, limited to twenty five students, and is designed to immerse participants in realistic business simulations, to foster entrepreneurism and to provide an introduction to life on a college campus. During the week, young scholars work in teams to conceptualize a small business, create a business plan and design the startup, finally evaluating the viability of the business. “This was such a valuable experience,” said Zalar. “I would recommend this program to any student who is interested in studying business. Each day, we would have two to three classes instructed by actual professors from the College of Business. We were grouped into teams and each had a coach who was a managerial marketing major. Each group had to

The last day we gave our presentations in front of a panel of judges. We were scored on creativity, how well we spoke, and completeness. A thousand dollar scholarship was awarded to each individual from the winning group, which just so-happened to be mine! It was a great experience, and I would encourage anyone and everyone to go. The professors were all so very kind,
and knowledgeable. Because of this experience I plan on attending KSU in the Fall of 2012.” A-Tech’s Business and Marketing Management Program is open to seniors at participating high schools and is designed to prepare students for the rigors of college coursework. The hybrid program is comprised of scheduled class time as well as broad spectrum internship and job shadowing opportunities. For additional information, contact A-Tech at (440) 5766015.
Saints John and Paul to host a ‘Diary of a Wimpy Kid’ themed workshop Wednesday, Nov. 16, from 6:30-8:30 p.m. BY SADIE PORTMAN Gazette Newspapers

ASHTABULA - Saints John and Paul will host workshops for children in grades fourth through sixth, all of which are opened to the public. “Saints John and Paul is hosting a Passport to Discovery Series of workshops open to any area students in grades four through six,” Christy Kovacs said. “The next workshop is ‘Hot off the Press,’ celebrating the newest edition of Diary of a Wimpy Kid book series.” The Diary of a Wimpy Kid books are a series created by Jeff Kinney, with his first installment of the series being released in April of 2007. The first book described life in the middle school
years and the hardships of growing up. Kinney has since released five more books in the series, with the latest being released on Nov. 15 of this year. The Diary of a Wimpy Kid’s success has grown even more since the first movie under the same name debuted on March 10, 2010. Thanks to book series like Diary of a Wimpy Kid and the Harry Potter series, children from around the country have shown an interest in reading, and now Saints John and Paul are using Kinney’s series to encourage students to continue reading. “On Wednesday, Nov. 16, from 6:30-8:30 p.m., Miss Angela Ackley, intermediate Language Arts teacher, will host a Diary of a Wimpy Kid Night in the gymnasium of the elementary school, 2150 Columbus Avenue in
Ashtabula,” Kovacs said. The day will be filled with fun activities based on the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series. Those already in Saints John and Paul will be admitted free of charge. “It’s free for current students of Saints John and Paul and for children and grandchildren of Herald alumni,” Kovacs said. They still encourage students from other area schools to participate as well. “Students in grades fourth through sixth from other area schools may attend for a nominal fee of $5, payable at the door,” Kovacs said. For more information on the workshop or to register, call (440) 997-5531. Sadie Portman, reporter for the Gazette, may be reached at sportman@ gazettenews.com.

Search for missing Geneva girl goes viral BY SADIE PORTMAN Gazette Newspapers GENEVA - Fourteenyear-old Malverie Coles has been missing since Nov. 4, and her mother Marie Pillar has begun her own search party for her daughter, writing posts on Facebook and other social networks to find any information that might be out there on her daughter’s disappearance. “I last saw her on November the third,” Pillar said. “She was home at eight [p.m.] and she went to her room for the night.” Pillar said she thought her daughter was watching T.V. and getting ready for bed. “I went to wake her up for school in the morning and she was gone,” Pillar said. Pillar said her duffel bag was missing, but she is not sure what was placed in the bag. “Malverie has a lot of clothes, so I’m not sure what all is missing,” Pillar said. Malverie has run away two or three before, but Pillar said never for this length of time.
“I would go and file a report on her and then I’d go and find her at a friend’s house, but I’d always find her,” Pillar said. Pillar has talked with her daughter’s friends and has yet to make contact with her daughter and she has begun to worry. Pillar says she thinks someone knows where Malverie is, but no one is talking. “Everybody claims they haven’t seen her,” Pillar said. Pillar is pleading for any information from friends, classmates or anyone else who might have seen Malverie. “If anybody knows her whereabouts, please call me,” Pillar said. Malverie does not have a cell phone and Pillar is now hearing rumors of Malverie leaving town. “I’ve heard rumors that she may have taken off to New York,” Pillar said. It has now been over 12 days since her daughter was last seen, but Pillar says the police have yet to issue an Amber Alert.
“In order for us to issue an Amber Alert, the child must have been abducted,” Geneva Police Department Officer Joe Carroll said. “There is certain criteria we must follow in order for us to issue an alert.” Carroll said right now, Malverie Coles has been entered into the database of the police. “We enter any missing children into our computer. [Malverie] is entered into the computer as a missing/ runaway,” Carroll said. Carroll said he urges anyone with information to contact the police department or, if she is in a place other than Geneva, to locate the police department closest to her location. “If they know she’s in a specific place, they can contact that specific police department because they might be able to get to her before we can,” Carroll said. Pillar is taking it upon herself to find Malverie, using any and all resources she can. “It’s become a community effort now,” Pillar said. Pillar has a message for
