Heroes of the Red Cross BY BUD MARTELLO Gazette Newspapers MENTOR - The American Red Cross of Northeast Ohio honored Geauga and Lake county heroes at a breakfast May 10 in Mentor. Those honored have shown courage, compassion, character or humanity by saving or improving the lives of others. These values mirror those that motivate and inspire the work of the Red Cross. Five Lake Countians were recognized by the Red Cross as “heroes.” They are Cristen Kane, Dr. Gerald Lackey, Dr. Howard Mell, Maureen Kelly and Michael Sukalac. Cristen Kane is the Citizen Corps Coordinator for RSVP of Lake County. RSVP matches the skills, talents and experience of adults over 55 with community needed volunteer opportunities. She helps seasoned adults utilize their skills and life experience to address community needs through service in the local community. Krane is an asset to emergency operations of the Red Cross by helping to staff public inquiry phones at the Emergency Operations Center during disasters. She was nominated by Megan Koeth. Dr. Gerald Lackey has been a Lake County Free Clinic doctor for three years. In the last year alone, he volunteered more than 300

Part four of Soul Searching Soldiers FROM THE FRONT to choose their chaplains and they were permitted to do so as long as the President gave his approval. All chaplains were assigned to a regiment, a post or a hospital where the need was especially great. The chaplains were chosen by churches and then their name was submitted to the Presiden.t There were no age limits or educational requirements. The chaplains only needed to be ordained by a Christian denomination and endorsed by that denomination. But in the second year of the Civil War, on July 17, 1862, Congress passed a new requirement for chaplains that left the door open to Jewish and Afro American men. The change came in the wording of “some religious denomination” rather than a Christian denomination. Also, the chaplains needed only to be from some authorized ecclesiastical body.” This change was in direct response to a strong Jewish protest and to deal with men posing as chaplains in order to get the pay. Later, the wording was changed to allow chaplains to gain rank and eventually earn the same pay as that of a captain. A major change occurred in that chaplains were now permitted to carry a sword and a pistol. Although the weapons and uniform identified the chaplains with their regiment or post, it also cost many of them death or Chaplains at first wore only injury as they were misa black frock coat, but taken for a regular soldier. eventally were allowed to The enemy had no way of wear the regimental distinguishing between the uniform and carry arms. two and in some cases, simThe Civil War has the sad distinction as being the bloodiest of all American conflicts. While the troops were defending themselves and the home of their birth, chaplains were fighting for the spiritual battle for the soldiers’ souls. While Protestant and Catholic chaplains were welcomed into the camps, Afro American and Jewish chaplains were not sanctioned by the government or any group. The War Department allowed chaplain appointments only to those who were “regularly ordained minsters of some Christian denomination and were to be selected and appointed has the President may direct.” The Chaplains were not given a command rank but became privates upon entrance to the service. Their uniforms at first were ordered to be “a plain black frock coat, with a standing collar, a row of nine brass buttons, plain black pantaloons and a black felt hat or forage cap. Some regiments wanted

ply did not care. Both the Northern and Southern armies had a general understanding that chaplains would be released if they were captured . But if the chaplain was found carrying a weapon, his release was not always obtained. On November 22, 1864, Chaplain U.P. Gardner, of the 13 th Kansas Infantry, was surrounded in Kansas by the infamous Quantrill guerrilla raiders. This particular group was headed by the outlaw James brothers. Gardner identified himself as a chaplain, but instead of being granted immunity, one of the raiders shot and killed him. Many of the sources I checked attribute the point blank shooting of Gardner, his captain, and one other man, as Jesse James., at that time only a 17 year old boy. Most history sources say the action was retaliation. after Frank James joined the Quantrill outlaws and a federal militia group came to the James farm and tortured Frank, James and another man but spared their lives, Jesse joined Quantrill and vowed he would get even. Some of the chaplains were skilled marksman. Confederate chaplains were often referred to as “fighting chaplains.” The most famous one was Isaac Taylor, a Baptist chaplain known for his sharp shooting skills. Chaplains were supported in their work by volunteer ministers and missionaries, often circuit riding preachers who travelled throughout the country side offering support to the soldiers without any official

The President allowed $85 a month for the work of the chaplains. Later, the pay was greatly reduced. In addition to their regular duties of counseling, praying with the soldiers, comforting them and offering support, chaplains also led temperance meetings and held informal schools to teach the men how to read and write. The chaplains were the ones who wrote home to tell of a soldier’s death, often being the only one available who could write. The American Bible Society distributed Bibles to the men as well as the Confederate States Bible Society and several organizations in England. 66 Union chaplains died while serving in the Civil War. They were issued uniforms and guns and lived and fought alongside the

Memorial Day has lived through changes Years ago my mother-inlaw complained to me in serious tones that, “May 30 is the REAL Memorial Day; they should return it to its rightful place.” She was referring, of course, to the successful negotiations by Labor Unions (of whom her husband was a member) for Memorial Day to be observed on a Monday, giving America’s workers the luxury of a long holiday weekend. Admittedly, my callow young self did not begin to understand the reasons she was upset by the change. “After all,” I said to her, “the calendar still pays homage to both dates” THE MAY 30 date which had been in place for well over a century had itself represented a change. The tradition behind the commemoration had begun during the Civil War, when America was deeply grieving its astounding casualties in its inner war that spilled vast quantities of its native blood on native soil. Each May when the spring flowers bloomed, the people of the North and South separately expressed collective grief on different days, taking the fresh flowers to the countless graves of loved ones lost in the war. Not until May 5, 1868, did General John Logan at Waterloo, N.Y., proclaim May 30 to be Decoration

ROSE AROUND TOWN by Rose Moore Columnist Day, in honor of the fallen soldiers. Though the North commemorated on that date each year, the South commemorated on a different date in May, until after World War I. That they would later merge those observances into one unified holiday would, in itself, represent a monumental change. In 1882, the name of Decoration Day was also changed, officially becoming Memorial Day. (As I was growing up in the 1940s and ’50s, grownups around me still had not accepted the name change, and were still referring to the holiday as Decoration Day). Not until 1971, though the holiday itself had been long established, was Memorial day officially declared a national holiday to be observed each year on the last Monday of May. Three years before that, another change had been made with Lyndon B. Johnson’s Presidential Declaration naming the town of Waterloo, N.Y. as the official birthplace of the holiday. Ostensibly, this was because Waterloo had observed Memorial Day each May 30 for 100 years.

Chaplain Lenhart was the first chaplain casulty having been on bard the Cumberland ship when it was rammed and he was drowned. Chaplains performed services such as funerals at sea as seen in this photo. other soldiers. Commander John L. Lenhart, First Naval Chaplain, was the first to die in the line of duty. He was on board the ship “Cumberland” when she was rammed by the “Virginia” and was drowned. In the Confederate Army, 25 chaplains have been identified as casualties of the war. But because of poor records, there were most likely, many more. There were 158 black regiments serving the Union Army. They all had white officers m but twelve of them had black chaplains. The very first black chaplain was Reverend Henry

unwilling to work with them. We know that the housing crisis in Ohio wasn’t caused by speculation or irresponsible borrowers taking out mortgages they couldn’t afford. It was caused by years of job losses mixed with predatory loans from fly-by-night mortgage operations. And while we have seen nearly 24 straight months of private sector job growth and foreclosures filings are starting to decrease in Ohio, we also saw more than 71,500 new foreclosure filings in 2011 according to Policy Matters Ohio. Too many Ohioans are still struggling to find work or

are underemployed, and these Ohioans have often turned to banks and mortgage servicers for help in preventing foreclosure by modifying their home loans. But instead of receiving help, many have been ignored. Others have faced denials, lost paperwork, or have been foreclosed on by mortgage companies that engage in “robo-signing.” Big banks tell us that their mistakes are isolated and harmless. But these problems are not new. In fact, these predatory practices occurring now in the servicing industry are all too similar to predatory practices that led to the subprime crisis. That’s why I introduced the Foreclosure Fraud and Homeowner Abuse Prevention Act, whichwould address some of the most common problems and abuses with the mortgage servicing industry. First, too many servicers are proceeding to foreclosure without considering modification. While this hurts

Here in Ashtabula County this time of year is especially exciting if you’re interested in birds. Nearly all of the migrating birds are back including the beautiful and always entertaining Hummingbirds as well as a favorite of our family-the barn swallows. The barn swallows showed up at our farm in early May this year. My husband loves them because they follow the haybine and tractor when he is mowing, swooping and diving to catch insects. Then they sit on the electric lines near the barn and dive-bomb my cats. When we were still milking cows, the barn swallows usually built their nests above the lights. They would fly in and out the windows catching flies for the young, always hungry babies. We loved watching the little ones grow. As they got bigger and bigger, it was amazing how they managed to keep from falling out of the nest, but they did. Then when it was time for flying lessons, the parents sat on the windowsills and encouraged (yelled) at the little ones to fly out of the barn. Another favorite of mine is the Mourning Dove. When I was a kid there weren’t any Mourning Doves near our farm. Then I got to go to 4-H Camp Whitewood in Windsor. That’s where I first heard the call of the Mourning Dove and I remember it was so distinctive, I had never heard anything like it. Now I get to hear the Mourning Dove nearly every day and I love it. A co-worker of mine hung a ceramic birdhouse several years ago on his patio for decoration. A male wren started investigating, decided it might make a good nesting spot and started building. My co-worker and his wife had the best time watching Mr. Wren trying to get large sticks in the tiny hole. He would work and work and finally turn it sideways and get it into the house. The female appeared one day, checked out the nest, did some remodeling and then apparently gave her approval. They raised one

mortgage investors and homeowners, servicers are able to recover full costs at foreclosure – giving them a financial incentive to favor foreclosures over affordable modifications. My bill would require servicers to participate in sustainable loan modifications when it is in investors’ best interest. It creates a defense to foreclosure when servicers fail to offer loan modifications, and gives servicers an incentive to work with homeowners by extending the protections of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. Second, servicers have been known to file foreclosures against homeowners who are trying to modify their loans – a practice that is prohibited under law.

This year my co-worker heard the male wren across the road in large pine trees and hurried to hang out the vacancy sign on the house, but so far neither Mr. or Mrs. Wren has indicated any interest. He’s even reduced the rent in hopes of attracting them. My cousin has been interested in Bluebirds for about 20 years. He has become an expert on them, growing his own mealworms which Bluebirds love and even training the birds to come when he whistles. He builds different styles of Bluebird houses and feeders too. Bluebirds are very territorial, so it is best to place the bird houses about 300 feet apart. In fact my cousin says three houses should be built, one for the Bluebirds, one for the swallows, and one for the House Sparrows who are enemies of the Bluebirds. He built a glass feeder, complete with live mealworms (the larvae of ground beetles) and put it near the nesting boxes. Then he whistled. He also kept moving the feeder closer to the house. In time, the Bluebirds came to eat when he whistled and he could see them from his porch. This year he knows that a pair of Bluebirds is in his area but they are not nesting in the boxes yet. Two excellent books on Bluebirds are “Bring Back the Bluebirds, Even onYOUR Hand!” by Andrew M. Troyer and “The Bluebird Book” by Donald and Lillian Stokes. On line you can google bluebirds for lots of information. Our Hummingbird feeder is not out yet, so I’d better get busy. Have fun with your bird watching.

After 27 years, I still get a thrill from watching young men and women transform a pile of lumber into a building which will last a lifetime. I know many years from now, when these students drive through Austinburg, they will feel the pride all builders feel when they see their first building standing square, plumb, level and tall.” “We are very pleased with the workmanship provided by these students and we’re glad to be able to give them the experience of construction of a building from the ground up,” Burke said. “This is great for us and great for them.”

Exciting to see latest farm technology farms. Contrasting the Comp Farm’s 24 row planter was a little two row planter I saw on an Amish farm last week. It was pulled by horses and is the kind of equipment used many years ago.

It is essentially a wooden board with a handle at the top and seed box with a primitive seed plate at-

ASHTABULA AGRICULTURE by JOHN PARKER Ashtabula County Farm Bureau It was a great ride and I enjoyed it! No, I was not on a roller coaster at Cedar Point. I was riding on the tractor that was pulling the new 24-row corn planter at Comp Dairy Farm a couple of weeks ago. While it may seem dull to some, it was exciting to me to see the latest technology to plant crops and have an opportunity to watch it operate. It was a nice Saturday afternoon when Jim Comp called me to see if I wanted to see the planter work first hand. And I did. This is a fairly complex piece of equipment with a GPS system and several automatic controls. Not everyone can operate this planter and one of Jim’s employees, Greg Slusher, had taken the training to operate this one. When I got to the farm, Greg was making his first trip a round the outside of a 44 acre field. Then he planted going back and forth. Where he had planted showed up on the GPS screen. He also had a marker on the left side of the planter out 30 feet that he followed on his next trip. Enough seed was in the planter box and enough liquid fertilizer in the tanks to plant more than the 44 acres in this field. So they could keep right on going without delays to restock either one. An extra seat on the tractor allowed me to sit next to Greg and watch him operate the controls and see the planter operate. I asked him how long will it take to plant that 44 acres and he said

That’s efficient planting. “Down time,” that is the time it takes to fill the seed box, fertilizer tanks and service the planter, was not included in that nine hours. Very little hand labor goes into handling seed and fertilizer with this kind of planter. Also, a tractor with good horsepower is needed to pull a planter this big. I didn’t ask how big the one was I rode in that afternoon. To justify a planter this big requires planting a lot of acres. At the same time, it lets the Comp Farm take Looking out tractor windshield at row marker that is advantage of good weather followed to know where to drive the planter. and get the corn in the ground quickly and efficiently. Many planters this big and bigger can be found on western farms where planting 3000 to 5000 acres is not unusual. While I have some concerns about these 5000 or 10,000 acre and larger farms in the west, we do live in a country where free enterprise is what helps make us a great nation. And nearly all these large farms are still family farms, owned and operated by family members with some extra help.

PORCH tions until 1858. At that time, he learned of the all black African Methodist Episcopal Church and joined it. He was chaplain of the 1st Regiment, U.S. Colored Troops from 1863-1865. After the war, he became a part of the Baltimore legislature, a college president, bishop n the African Methodist Episcopal Church and a prolific writer. His powerful preaching, enjoyed by commanders, obtained him the nickname, “The Negro Spurgeon”, referring to the great evangelist, Charles Spurgeon. Jewish Civil War Chaplain, Michael M. Allen,

From page 3B served with the 65th Regiment of the 5th Pennsylvania Cavalry, often called “Cameron’s Dragoons.” He was accidentally discovered serving in his role in September, 1861, on a visit by a YMCA worker, three months after the US. Government refused to allow Jews to serve as chaplains. Allen was not serving as a chaplain to Jews but as the regimental chaplain for men of all faiths. The Commanding Officer of the regiment was Jewish as well as 1200 of the regiment. Although he observed Jewish holidays, he would hold meetings for all the men by reading the

scriptures , praying , preaching, and singing hymns. But the expose of the YMCA worker created such a public protest in the newspapers, that the Adjutant General was forced to put in writing and publish his statements dismissing any Jew who was serving in a chaplaincy. Chaplain Allen was so humiliated by this, that rather than suffer greater loss of honor and trust, he resigned his position after having served two months. But the issue was brought before e the public in a powerful way, and was eventually dealt with. In the government defense, Allen was

not only dismissed because he was Jewish , but he was not a qualified, sanctioned minister. The rules and regulations of Chaplains serving today have their roots in the guidelines established during the Civil War. Chaplains are an important support group for our men and women and most will testify of the help and encouragement they receive from them. As we approach Memorial Day, 2012, let’s pray for the truthfulness of the teaching and the integrity of the lives of our United States chaplains and the impact they have on our soldiers.

Letters to the Editor Thank you for help at annual Trout Derby I would like to take this opportunity to say a heartfelt thanks to all who volunteered, sponsored, or participated in any way at the 46th Annual Trout Derby on Saturday, May 12, at the Conneaut Fish and Game Club. The event was well-planned and executed. I personally know nothing about fishing and was not sure of what to expect. When I arrived with my three-year old grandson, Nicholas, we were checked in and he received a very nice fishing rod. Being totally “fishing challenged,” I did not realize we were supposed to bring our own bobbers, hooks, bait, etc. No worries! A young boy gave us a bobber, another man put a hook on our line, and yet another showed us how to bait the hook. I will never forget the look on the face of my grandson when he reeled in his very first fish! Special thanks to Michael Kreider—who patiently assisted Nick most of the morning—untangling his line several times, baiting his hook, and casting for him. Whenever we had a question or needed help—Mr. Kreider was there! However, our day was not finished. Next my mother and I enjoyed a lovely Mother’s Day Brunch at the Conneaut Community Center for the Arts. Before being served a delicious meal by Penny Armeni and her staff, we were entertained by the musical talents of Soloist Megan Kalosky with Jim Fuller on the piano. Following brunch, we enjoyed skits performed by the Story Weavers, a comedic troupe from the area. Everyone left with smile on their face. Thanks once again to these two local organizations. Sincerely, Wendy M. DuBey Pierpont

On Mental Health Awareness Month A society is judged on how its treats its most vulnerable members. As such, on this the national month for mental health awareness, I ask, how will Ohio be judged? Ohio’s new budget proposed for the 2012-2013 fiscal year includes continued cuts for mental health services. This continued slash in funding is detrimental to not only the health and welfare of the mentally ill, but to all Ohioans. The National Alliance for Mental Illness states that one out of four Americans have a mental illness. These individuals are our family, friends, and co-workers and we cannot forget their needs-even in an economic downturn. The impact of 25 percent of Ohioans having a mental illness ripples throughout every Ohio community as unmanaged mental health conditions affect us all. While it is necessary to maintain a balanced budget, we cannot do so on the backs of our most vulnerable citizens. Our collective fear and misunderstanding of the mentally ill inhibits our progress to help these individuals lead lives of recovery. Therefore, we must embrace mental health as a part of the human condition. Illnesses such as depression, anxiety, dementia and Alzheimer’s, anorexia and bulimia, schizophrenia, or bi-polar disorders-are not mystical experiences nor a fault of the individual. Rather they are diseases of the brain, and as such, similar respect and funding must be allocated to enhance recovery from these illnesses. By slashing preventative and community services we force individuals into cycles of crises by cutting the support groups, therapy, and case management services designed to stop this pattern. Furthermore, these cycles of crises lead to repetitive hospitalizations, thus costing the Ohio taxpayers even more money than if we restructured our system to focus on prevention, acceptance, and recovery. Recovery and transformation for individuals with mental illness is possible; however, funding is necessary. The Ohio legislative body cannot ignore the needs of its people by denying our vulnerable members a chance for a better life. The mentally ill are tormented by a disease from the demands of a complicated mind. Governor Kasich and Representative Kozlowski, please don’t deny these individuals the freedom from this plight, by endorsing continued cuts to mental health services. I respect the Ohio legislators face difficult times with allocating funds. But use this as an opportunity to inspire hope amongst us all. Use Ohio as an example of how, with limited resources we can rise up and defy an illness, inspire a people, and continue an Ohio legacy of excellence. Sincerely, Meaghan Geraghty Advocate for Mental Health Community

Highway to be named Ohio tourism industry in honor of soldier continues growth in 2011 MENTOR - The Ohio House of Representatives passed legislation that will designate a portion of State Route 84 as the “Sgt. Mark T. Smykowski Memorial Highway.” Sgt. Smykowski died during combat operations in Iraq June 6, 2006. The portion of State Route 84 named in memory of him would be located in the municipal corporation of Mentor, stretching from the intersection with Broadmoor Road to the intersection with Chillicothe Road. “We are grateful for Sgt. Smykowski’s service to our nation,” State Representative Ron Young said. “It’s my hope that the naming of this highway will remind his loved ones of how fortunate they are to have known him and stand as a reminder of the sacrifice he made.”

COLUMBUS – The Ohio Office of Tourism last week announced that Ohio’s tourism economy grew 6.5 percent in 2011 and generated $40 billion in total sales, up from $38 billion in 2010, according to research conducted on behalf of the Ohio Office of Tourism. Tourism last year generated $2.7 billion in taxes for Ohio – $1.6 billion in state taxes and $1.1 billion in local taxes. This growth in sales helped increase tourism employment to 443,000 full-time equivalent (FTE) jobs with an associated income of $10.6 billion, an increase of 4,000 jobs over 2010. “About 1 in every 11.5 jobs or 8.7 percent of Ohio’s jobs in 2011 were sustained by Ohio’s tourism industry,” said Amir Eylon, State Tourism Director. “Tourism is a resilient industry with the ability to quickly add new jobs to meet increased demand, which has put it at the forefront

ASHTABULA - Beatitude House is excited to announce they will be opening their new site, named A House of Blessing Ashtabula. To celebrate the occasion, they will hold a ribbon-cutting on June 1, at 2:30 p.m. at the renovated building, 3404 Lake Avenue, Ashtabula, Ohio. An Open House will follow from 3-5 p.m. with an additional Open House on Sunday, June 3, 2012 from 11 a.m.-2 p.m. Beatitude House recently finished construction on the old St. Joseph school building, located behind St. Joseph Church, transforming the former 10 classrooms into 10 apartments for homeless women and their children. The apartments range in size from one to three bedrooms and will be completely furnished. Program participants will have the opportunity to live in the apartments for one to two years while working on their education, life skills, financial management, parenting and many other learning modules. With renovations finally complete and finishing touches on the apartments wrapping up, the organization hopes to begin welcoming families this spring. Beatitude House encourages the community to attend the ribbon-cutting and Open House and asks that they come and help infuse the old building with warmth and welcome for their new residents. Beatitude House, sponsored by the Ursuline Sisters of Youngstown, is committed to all disadvantaged women and children. By creating homes, providing educational opportunities, and fostering healthy families, they provide them with the opportunity to transform their lives. Anyone looking for more information about Beatitude House or their many programs throughout the community is encouraged to visit their website at www.beatitudehouse.com. They can also be reached at 330.744.3147 or info@beatitudehouse.com.

of economic recovery.” Total visitation to and within Ohio grew to more than 180 million visits in 2011, up from an estimated 179 million visits in 2010. “These results reinforce the strength of Ohio’s tourism industry as an economic driver for our state,” said Christiane Schmenk, Director of the Ohio Department of Development. “We are pleased that travelers continue to take advantage of our state’s resources and experience Ohio.” More than 36 million visitors who traveled to Ohio in 2011 stayed overnight, an increase of 5 percent from 2010. “This is a good indicator that Ohio tourism has returned to pre-recession levels and represents very good news for our industry since Ohio’s average overnight visitor outspends day travelers by three to one,” Eylon said.

Arts and Entertainment Laketran helps Sign up riders bike to work Get creative LAKE COUNTY - Chris Twarogowski, a mechanical engineer of Mentor, has been biking to work since 2005. “When gas spiked in 2005, I sold my 10-mpg SUV and bought a bicycle,” said Twarogowski. At the time Twarogowski was working in Willoughby and biked about 12 miles each way to work. When his job relocated to Gear Company of America off W. 143 and Lorain Ave. in Cleveland his commute became over 40 miles each way. Twarogowski decided he needed to add public transit to his commute. “When my job relocated in 2008, my family was pretty used to the savings of only having one car.

this summer at Rabbit Run art camps

MADISON - From camps to classes, Rabbit Run offers opportunities to explore and experience the fine and performing arts throughout the summer. No fewer than five camps See LAKETRAN on page 11B are available for school-age children. Youth Art Camp is for anyone who likes to be creative and maybe make a mess in the process. For one or two weeks, campers ages 8 to 14 get elbow deep in paint, clay and other mediums as they create original two- and three-dimensional works of art. Week One is July 9 through 13, and Week Two runs from July 16 through 20. The camp meets Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to noon in the pavilion in the Madison Village square and is conducted by SUBMITTED PHOTO

Since there are no signs that osteoporosis is developing, a person may become aware of the disease only after a fall results in a broken bone.

HOMEOWNERS closure while awaiting a loan modification. My bill would bar these “dual track” foreclosures, permitting servicers to proceed with foreclosures only after they have finished working with borrowers on a modification. Third, servicers lack the necessary staffing and resources to tackle the record rates of mortgage defaults and foreclosures. One commentator estimates that servicers would need to increase staffing 1000 percent in order to modify as few as 10 percent of the loans in default. My bill would require servicers to provide appropriate staffing and training. Servicers of delinquent loans would place a reasonable limit on the number of cases handled by each employee. Finally, as Ms. Brooks can attest to, too many Ohioans trying to modify their loans are subject to servicers losing their paperwork. Loan modifications typically take

Nancy Brotz, art instructor at Rabbit Run Community Arts Association. Pop Star Camp gets youth ages 5 through 10 up and moving as they learn to sing and dance like their favorite pop star. The camp runs for one or two weeks, June 11 through 15 and June 18 through 22 from 9:30 a.m. to noon with an added session the second week from 1 to 3:30 p.m. Pop Star Camp is led by RRCAA Dance Director Heather Hoffman. Campers delve into all areas of the theater arts including drama, music, dance, costumes, make-up, and stage craft in three theater camps. Explorer ’s Camp is a week-long program for beginning theater buffs, and the Youth and Junior Theater Camps run for seven weeks in the summer. Whether learning to perform onstage or gaining experience working backstage, campers come away with renewed self confidence. The camps are held at Rabbit Run Theater and

neighboring Stanton Park in Madison. Combining the best of both worlds, campers have access to the professional-quality stage with state-of-the-art theatrical equipment at Rabbit Run, as well as access to the fresh air of Stanton Park where many traditional camp activities take place. Campers also participate in arts and crafts and ageappropriate games including water games. At the end of Explorer ’s Camp, actors share their talents with parents in an end-of-week program. Campers in the Youth and Junior Camps perform in or work backstage in a full-scale production at Rabbit Run Theater the last week of camp. Explorer’s Camp, ages 5 through 13, meets Monday through Friday, June 18 through 22 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Junior Camp, ages 5 to 7, meets Tuesday and Thursday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Youth Camp, ages 8 to 15, meets on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Junior Camp runs

from June 26 through Aug. 9, and Youth Camp runs from June 25 through Aug. 10. Regardless of age, dance instruction is available for everyone throughout the summer. Creative movement, tap and jazz, ballet, pointe classes are offered for youth from June 25 through July 28. Adult dance students may register for Adult Ballet and Adult Jazz. For those looking to improve their musical skills, private weekly music lessons are available for brass, woodwind, voice, guitar, viola/violin/Suzuki violin, piano/keyboard/organ and percussion. For more information and specific class and lesson times call RRCAA at 4285913 or visit www.rabbitrunonline.org. RRCAA is a non-profit corporation offering instruction in all the major disciplines of the fine and performing arts and is partially funded by the Ohio Arts Council. RRCAA is located at 49 Park St. in Madison.

Science Fiction and Fantasy writer Doug Farren visits Lakeside High School ASHTABULA - Science Fiction and Fantasy writer Doug Farren arrived at Lakeside High School May 14 bedecked with a dragon. He was an immediate hit and Lakeside Dragon’s made him feel right at home in their lair. The Geneva author of seven novels, and one currently in production, shared writing and publishing tips with the students. He also talked about where he gets his inspiration, the process of writing, and the importance of good editing. Sophomore students of English teacher Lori Fazio completed a Science Fiction unit and Farren served as a grand finale to the study unit. Students read such

between 120 and 240 days, and process errors—like multiple requests for paperwork, incorrect evaluation, and lack of communication between departments – are common. My bill would require servicers to create a single electronic record for each borrower, designate a single contact for each stage of the mortgage process, and provide one team leader to coordinate between mortgage servicer departments. Families must feel secure that their home cannot be wrongfully taken from them, and investors – including pension funds that hold the retirement savings of teachers, nurses, and police officers – must feel secure in their investments. We can’t expect that our economy will ever fully recover until we stabilize the housing market – that means restoring trust for both homeowners and investors.

I save about $70 a week riding my bike to work and taking the bus.”

“Biking to work and riding Laketran has additional perks, too. The daily bike ride keeps me healthy and I come home from work relaxed, instead of stressed from driving. During my commute, I listen to the radio, watch TV or movies on Netflix, or just catch up with friends and family on Facebook,” Twarogowski said. The majority of Laketran’s Rack-n-Roll riders use the local routes buses, because all of Laketran’s Routes 1-6 buses

Cleveland commuters take advantage of bike lockers at Park-n-Ride locations in Madison, Mentor and Wickliffe. “Comparing January through April 2011 bike rack usage to January through April of this year, usage is up 94 percent,” said Andy Altenweg, Laketran’s deputy general manager. “About 60 percent of our fixed route riders are taking Laketran to work.

Former Coe Manufacturing site closer to redevelopment PAINESVILLE – The city of Painesville and the Lake County Port Authority will be able to move forward in an effort to clean up and redevelop the former Coe Manufacturing site, thanks to an Ohio Jobs Ready Sites grant commitment from the Ohio Department of Development in collaboration with Jobs Ohio. “This has been a long process to open up 160,000 square feet of industrial space here in Lake County, and on May 7 the State’s Controlling Board approved a Jobs Ready Sites (JRS) grant of $1.2 million that will be available to the project,” said John Loftus, executive director of the Lake County Port Authority. As a result of this commitment the Lake County Port Authority and city of Painesville are now in a position to create new opportunities for business retention, expansion and attraction at the former Coe site. This will also result in the creation of more than 50 new jobs to the state of Ohio based on key companies that the Lake County Port Authority and city of Painesville are work-

ing on in partnership for this site. The city of Painesville has been seeking resources for remediation and clean-up of the former Coe site since 2003. Four years ago, the city and Lake County Port Authority began a partnership that resulted in several meetings with state and regional representatives from the Ohio EPA, Ohio Department of Development, TeamNeo and the new JobsOhio, as well as Lake County, to aggressively pursue clean up solutions for the site that would enable the city and Port Authority to bring the buildings that existed there back to a viable use. Coe Manufacturing had been a staple in the community since 1852 when Harold Hayes Coe and Leonard Anderson joined forces to form The Anderson and Coe. Hayes and his partner first manufactured steam engines and machinery for sawmills and grist mills. From these modest beginnings, the company they founded grew for 146 years to the diversified, internationally known enterprise which was Coe Manufactur-

ing Company. In 2009, after several disappointing years and rough competition, the company was acquired by a competitor and the operations ceased in Ohio. The state of Ohio indicated in their letter of commitment that they wish to partner with local communities and businesses to complete necessary upgrades to prepare sites, like this one, dedicated to creating and expanding job opportunities in Ohio. “The city of Painesville is excited about the potential job creation that will result from this project in our community. We believe that the reuse of these buildings for job creation could not have been possible without our partnerships with the Lake County Port Authority, Ohio Department of Development and JobsOhio. It has been a true partnership that will now clean up a Brownfield site, create new jobs and new investments into these industrial buildings that were just sitting here in our community,” said Rita C. McMahon, city manager. “The Office of Economic Development for the city of

Painesville is excited about the opportunity that the reuse of this former Coe property will bring to Painesville. It is perfect timing, with industry picking back up in the community and our building inventory dwindling in manufacturing. This will now open us some excellent space that will allow us to retain and attract companies into the community,” said Cathy Bieterman, economic development coordinator for the city of Paineville. Port Authority Board Chairman Harry Allen said this is the appropriate role for the agency. “Port Authorities exist to take on complicated projects and bring a variety of funding sources together to spur economic revitalization,” said Allen. Created in February 2007 the Lake County Port Authority’s mission is to promote projects that will provide for the creation of jobs and employment opportunities and improve the economic welfare of the people residing in Lake County.

Students learn about manufacturing MENTOR - Roll-Kraft hosted a student-focused educational event to promote manufacturing careers within the local community. The company opened its doors and offered high school students the opportunity to tour the Roll-Kraft facility and learn first-hand about the manufacturing environment. Nearly 60 students were involved in

tours over a two-day period. The students were escorted through the offices and factory by Roll-Kraft personnel, who described and demonstrated the various steps involved in manufacturing, from computer design, to full production, and finally to seeing a completed product come off the machine. For most of the students, this was their first exposure to the modern manufactur-

ing process. Roll-Kraft is a member of AWT (Alliance for Working Together) and worked with the group to coordinate this event. AWT promotes careers in manufacturing to students, and the group is active in Northeast Ohio in educating students and correcting any old, outdated misconceptions related to jobs in manufacturing. AWT promotes the fact that

today’s manufacturing process is high-tech, and factories are clean and much better environments than in previous generations. The company plans to continue its relationships with several local schools and college groups to engage the youth in events that will encourage them to be excited about becoming involved in manufacturing as a future career choice.

Employees should not expect privacy at work Q: Is it legal for my employer to read emails I send on my work computer? A: Generally, yes. If your employer has a policy (check the handbook) stating that emails may be monitored and that employees should have no expectation of privacy in their email communications, then you should expect that any email you send or receive on your work computer can and will be read by the employer or by a designated representative.

Q: Is it legal for my employer to search my office, desk or locker? A: If you work for a public employer, your employer is not allowed to subject you to “unreasonable searches and seizures” under the U.S. Constitution. The key to whether it is legal for a public (government) employer to search your office, desk or locker is whether you had an expectation of privacy. This answer may differ depending on the circumstances and the job you hold.

private company, it is generally legal for your employer to search your office, desk or locker. Again, notice is the key. If your employer has made you and your fellow employees aware that desks, offices, and lockers are the employer’s property and that they may be searched, you do not have a reasonable expectation of privacy and should expect that your office, desk or locker may be searched by your employer. Some workplace policies go so far as to state that, if an employee brings personal property (purses, briefcases, lunch containers, etc.) onto the work premises, such property can be searched. Agreement to an employer’s policies is usually a condition of being offered a job or of continuing employment.

This means that you and your fellow employees are free, for example, to talk about office policies, and your employer cannot try to prevent you from doing so or take disciplinary action against you and your fellow employees for such a discussion. The NLRB report also says it will initiate action against employers who prohibit employees from talking about working conditions (supervisors, salaries, hours, etc.) online. Because the NLRB enforces the NLRA, you are generally permitted to talk about your working conditions on your Facebook page without worrying that your employer will take any action against you for doing so. However, you should be aware that this same NLRB report stresses that employers may enQ: Can my employer force policies prohibiting employdictate what I can post on my ees from violating laws relating to Facebook page? the employer’s business.

against illegal discrimination and harassment. Q: Can an employer exclude a job applicant from consideration based on a prior criminal arrest or conviction record? A: The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission frowns on using criminal background checks to determine employment eligibility unless the background information is job related and consistent with business necessity. The EEOC suggests that employers determine, before listing a job, whether any particular crime would act as a deterrent to hiring for the job, and then individually assess an applicant’s situation, considering such factors as the seriousness of the offense and the length of time since conviction, before excluding anyone.

Public notice is hereby given that on the 8th day of February, 2012, the County Treasurer of Ashtabula County, Ohio filed a complaint in the Common Pleas Court of Ashtabula County, Ohio, for the foreclosure of liens for delinquent taxes, assessments, charges, penalties and interest against certain real property situated in such county, as described in the complaint. The object of the action is to obtain from the Court a Judgment foreclosing the tax lien against such real estate and ordering the sale of such real estate for the satisfaction of the tax liens on it.
