With this project adding more books in the classroom will enable the children to take books home at night, read them and bring them back every morning.

Orwell American Legion Auxiliary annual Crafts Show draws weekend crowd

By DORIS COOK Gazette Newspapers

ORWELL - A gathering of area crafters and home businesses joined together at the annual Fall Crafts Show sponsored by the Orwell American Legion Auxiliary. The auxiliary ladies also

added a separate lunch on last Saturday for early Christmas shoppers attending. On Sunday morning they served a breakfast buffet to the crowd, said Mary Lou Motylewicz, who co-chaired the event with Florence Edelman. “We had a good turnout

both days,” said Edelman. Helena Zaller of Orwell was selling her special Christmas ornaments for the first time at the show. “I started making these a couple months ago and decided to reserve space for this show. They are made with Crayola crayons, which I use

a hair dryer on the inside to get the colors mixed. It’s fun and they are selling,” said Zaller. Pam Reed of Andover does a lot of handmade sewn items and knitted hats at her booth. Zaller said she enjoys making practical items in her spare time.

UH Geauga Medical Center gets Leapfrog awards ‘A’ in Fall 2013 national ranking for patient safety GEAUGA COUNTY – University Hospitals (UH) Geauga Medical Center has once again been honored with an “A” Hospital Safety Score by The Leapfrog Group, an independent, employer -backed, nonprofit organization that champions health care quality, safety, value and transparency. The score follows UH Geauga Medical Center ’s “A” awarded by Leapfrog this past spring, demonstrating its consistent national leadership in ensur ing the safety of its patients. The Hospital Safety Score initiative is conducted by the nation’s leading experts on patient safety and is designed to give the public information they can use to protect themselves and their families. It is the only peer -reviewed hospital grading

system in the United States. UH Geauga Medical Center received the top score in the Fall 2013 update to the Hospital Safety Score. There are approximately 200 Leapfrog “A” hospitals in the United States. Calculated under the guidance of The Leapfrog Group’s nine-member Blue Ribbon Expert Panel, the Hospital Safety Score uses 26 measures of publicly available hospital safety data to produce a single final score. The A, B, C, D and F scores assigned to hospitals represent a hospital’s overall capacity to keep patients safe from infections; injuries; accidents; and medical and medication errors. The most recent Hospital Safety Score results incorporate data updated over the last six months.

“We continue to make the safety of our patients our number -one priority,” says M. Steven Jones, President, UH Geauga Medical Center. “The latest Leapfrog ‘A’ score is exciting news for all of us. It validates and reinforces every aspect of our hospital’ s commitment to the overarching quality of care we offer to everyone in Geauga County and the surrounding region.” Complete details about UH Geauga Medical Center ’s Fall 2013 safety score can be viewed at www.hospitalsafetyscore.org. In addition, UH Ahuja and UH Case medical centers, along with UH jointventure hospitals St. John Medical Center and Southwest General Health Center, were honored with an “A” Hospital Safety Score by The Leapfrog Group.

SHARO N ANN OUNCES INTEGR A SE ALED SHARON ANNOUNCES INTEGRA SEALED SHOCK RULE F OR GROWING EC ONO M OD FOR ECO MOD DIV ISI ON F OR 2014-2016 SE ASO NS ISIO FOR SEASO ASONS By Mike Leone HARTFORD - Sharon Speedway officials have announced they have come to an agreement with Integra Shocks that will require the growing Econo Mod division to be on an Integra 42 Series sealed welded bearing shock for the 2014, 2015, and 2016 seasons. The shock retails for $69.95 at most suppliers. The top 10 drivers in the 2014-2016 points will receive one free Integra sealed shock each year at the awards banquet. The Econo Mods will begin their fifth season of competition in 2014. This past season saw the HTMA/Precise Racing Products-sponsored division grow in leaps and bounds. In just its second full season of being on the weekly Saturday night “Steel Valley Thunder” program, the Econo Mods averaged 21 cars per night, but more impressively

never dipped below 22 cars in the final eight events! In fact, an all-time record of 27 cars participated in the September 1415 “Apple Festival Nationals”. All told 47 different drivers competed throughout the 2013 season. “We’ve been very proud of the growth of the Econo Mod division,” stated GM Dave Willoughby. “The division has grown in participation and car counts each year; however, we want to be proactive and continue to implement cost-saving measures to sustain the growth into the future. Even though we had a shock claim rule, the cost of shocks was becoming a great concern. When we voted on implementing this rule for 2014, 85% of the racers were for it.” The complete 2014 Econo Mod rules will be posted soon. The following are the required Integra 42 Series Shock part numbers:

Check Ohio’s Fall Acorn Crop Results to Plan a Successful Hunt The 2013 Ohio acorn mast survey conducted at 36 wildlife areas showed a decrease in production from the previous year, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR). Ohio’s fall crop of acorns is an important food source for more than 90 forest wildlife species, and mast crop abundance can influence hunting plans. The overall number of white oak trees producing acorns decreased 30 percent after an almost banner year in 2012, and the number of red oak trees producing acorns decreased by 32 percent. Hunters can expect to find white-tailed deer, wild turkeys and squirrels concentrated near areas with heavy crops of white and chestnut oak acorns. In areas with poor

acorn production, these animals are more likely to feed near agricultural areas and forest edges. Acorn production is cyclical, with some trees producing acorns nearly every year, and others rarely producing. Wildlife prefer white oak acorns because red oak acorns contain a high amount of tannin and taste bitter. ODNR Division of Wildlife employees scanned the canopies of selected oak trees on 36 state wildlife areas to determine the percentage of trees that produced acorns and the relative size of the acorn crop. An average of 21 percent of white oak trees and 34 percent of red oak trees bore fruit in 2013. Thirtythree wildlife areas reported a decrease in white oak acorn production, and 31 wildlife areas showed a decrease in red oak acorn production.

In 2012, 52 percent of white oak trees and 67 percent of red oak trees bore fruit, nearly matching the exceptional production in 2010. Although the 2013 survey shows acorn mast production is below average, it has oscillated during the past five years. Anecdotal reports of above average crops of walnuts, hickories and beech nuts may offset the acorn decline in 2013. Hunters may find this information online at bit.ly/2013fallohio acornresults/.
