Is your company or organizational culture one that fosters the outcomes you expect? Great leadership trickles down from the top, and there is no greater influence that will impact workforce effectiveness. Effective management pushes the boundaries of quality, productivity, and innovation, and transforms your bottom line.

The Harvard Business Review (July 2014) finds that coaching skills separate the great managers from the average managers. They create a loyal workforce that out-produces, outshines and outperforms the competition in every facet of your business. Take advantage of a great opportunity to learn essential coaching principles.

Registration may be completed at https://basic-coaching-skills-for-managers.eventbrite.com

Invoicing and payment by check is available by calling 440-564-1060. If you are a Geauga Growth Partnership Member and your membership is current, special pricing applies. Payment for class must be received by March 25, 2016.

Basic Coaching Skills for Managers is presented by Lori Gorrell of Upward Solutions Coaching & Consulting, a proven trainer and certified coach for the International Coach Federation and a licensed trainer for the internationally acclaimed Academy of Coaching Excellence. Lori has a BSBA in Marketing and a Master of Science in Management.

“Lori knows how to develop teams that are resilient Ravenna -The Portage County Board of Elections is seeking energetic, civic-minded area residents to serve their community by becoming precinct election officials.

With the coming Primary Election for President and other federal, state, and local offices, the need is critical. Many of our usual precinct election officials go someplace warm during the cold Ohio months, so that has contributed to our need for precinct election officials. “We need thoughtful, respectful people to work the polls now more than ever,” Director Faith Lyon said. The county needs around 600 volunteers to staff the polls at its 63 polling locations on Election Day. Added Deputy Director Theresa Nielsen, “Without strong election officials, we simply could not do what we do – they are the backbone of our operation.”

To become an election official, applicants must be registered to vote in Portage County, have no felony convictions, and read and speak English clearly. Duties include setting up the polling location, answering voter’s questions about the process, and assisting voters with voting equipment. “Election officials and voters will find our new voting equipment easy to operate,” Lyon said.

Precinct election officials are paid $120 for their work on Election Day and $20 for attending a two-hour training, available during the day, on nights and weekends.

To apply to become an election official, residents can visit the Board’s website at http://www.co.portage.oh.us/election and download an application or call the office directly at 330-297-3511. The deadline for applications for the Presidential Primary Election is Friday, March 1, 2016.

Portage County Still Needs Precinct Election Officials

Mantua - On Tuesday evening, February 23rd, Portage County Director of Regional Planning, Todd Peetz, will facilitate a meeting to update the community on recent developments in plans to renovate the Center School Building in Mantua Township. The four committees currently working on moving the project forward include the Building Assessment, Building Utilization, Grants and Funding, and Volunteers Committees.

Everyone is welcome and encouraged to come to hear progress and status reports from the committees, with special emphasis on the elevator project made possible by a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) from the Portage County Commissioners. Mantua Township will meet at 6:30 pm in the Mantua Township Civic Center on the township green at State Route 82 and Mantua Center Road. The meeting will be held at the Civic Center, since the gymnasium at the Center School Building was previously rented out for the evening.

In related news, the Mantua Restoration Society and the Mantua Historical Society recently notified trustees the that two local organizations will contribute a total of $26,000 towards the estimated $130,000 cost of installing an elevator in the Center School building, allowing for better access for the community, regardless of mobility. Ms. Carole Pollard, president of the Restoration Society, noted that the Restoration Society was contributing $25,000, while the Mantua Historical Society would contribute $1,000. On behalf of both groups, Ms. Pollard and Ms. Linda Ehlert, president of the Mantua Historical Society, presented a letter stating that both groups would

certify the funds with Regional Planning when the funds were required. On behalf of the township, Trustee Carlton sincerely thanked both organizations and asked both presidents to pass their thanks and appreciation to everyone.

In similar news, Terrie Nielsen, co-chair of the Grants and Funding Committee, suggested that township trustees allow the Ttownship to join the National Trust Preservation as an organizational member at an annual fee of $250. Ms. Nielsen informed trustees that a number of grants are offered through the National Trust Preservation to its members. The fact that Center School is on the National Register of Historic Places makes the organization a good fit in the National Trust, as well. Ms. Nielsen noted that the trust is the only organization that will help provide funding for master plans, architectural drawings, and fees, as well as building permit fees.

“I am asking that the trustees join as an organizational member so the door will be open to investigate a number of potential grants,” concluded Ms. Nielsen. After some discussion, Trustee Jason Carlton made a motion for Mantua Township to become a member of the National Trust Foundation. This one-year membership will allow the group to apply for grants, and to determine the value of the investment at a relatively small cost. The motion was seconded by Trustee Victor Grimm, and was passed unanimously.

To find out the latest developments in this major Mantua Township project, mark your calendar to attend the meeting at the Civic Center on Tuesday, February 23rd at 6:30 pm.

Center School Update Meeting on February 23

Does Monica Potter, local business owner and entertainment icon, schedule commemorative weather events too? The recent One Year Anniversary and business showcase just about matched the weather that prevailed the weekend when the Monica Potter Home store opened in 2015, COLD!

Inside, the temperatures were just fine, the company was congenial, with Monica Potter herself and representative of many local businesses circulating, making connections, meeting and greeting all in attendance. Food establishments had provided get-acquainted samples from pizza(Domino’s, Pizza Hut, Italian Garden), chicken (Cal’s), corned beef hash (Sean’s Pub), sandwiches (Subway) to mussels being prepared by the chef from Main Street Grille and Brewing Company. A cooler of Dilly Bars from the DQ rolled in—not that they couldn’t have been left on a shelf outside the store, it was freezing out there! Top Tier Pastries produced the usual smashingly good tasty bites. Just about every purveyor of edibles except the candy aisle from RiteAid was showing off their very best.

Donated baskets were much in evidence, with Monroe’s Orchard and Farm Market all but promising that Spring would get here, eventually, Art-N-Flowers promoted the same idea with arrangements scattered about, while The Bay Window, Ma & Pa’s Facet, Cavalier Technologies, Ace Hardware, 2nd Style resale shop, Horses in the Woods Barn and Garden Center, the Garrettsville Bookstore, Denette’s and “the Y” offered a pick-me-up for right now...brrrr. A singer--Marina—accompanied herself on a guitar in a touching musical tribute to homecoming. A group promoting Random Acts of Kindness on February 17 presented Applebee’s gift cards—one to pastor Dwain Miller who had offered a blessing for the occasion. Not the only blessing attributed to the Monica Potter organization, as there was also a certificate on a shelf attesting to their contributions to the J.D. Breast Cancer Foundation as an Impact Award Winner in 2015. The media appeared...Channel 3, clevelandsview, somebody called Big Chunk Productions. We could all be famous! Me first!

And what was in the store proper? Well, there were masses of it. Coffee, reclaimed wood, nice thick fuzzy socks, aprons, cards/valentines, T-shirts, ruffle cuffs (Not something in my usual wardrobe but handy for barkeeps, no doubt), gloves, jewelry and other personal adornment, good aromas—besides the food—things like soaps & salves & candles & oils—in varieties like lavender, lemon/lime, cherry, strawberry, cucumber, spearmint/peppermint, pine. Animals—cows, chickens, sheep, dogs, cats, pigs-- were to be found on many shelves and in many settings. Sea buckthorn sounded interesting; burlap was available, as were instant ancestors in decorative frames and sayings of all sorts. Antiques, nostalgia and whimsy predominated with, every so often, a modern take on something unexpected. One of my favorites was the large-ish, antique-ish framed advertisement for “Her Royal Highness The Queen Mum’s School for Princesses”. I was clearly a drop-out.

Save your woolies for next year; it could be another doozie!

The Salvation Army’s Northeast Portage Food Shelf is pleased to announce that the new managers of the Windham Sparkle Market will accept cash donations to be put on account for the pantry located in the Renais-sance Family Center, 9005 Wilverne Drive, Windham. These monies will be used to purchase items that are not available from the Akron Canton Food Bank. Since the announcement that Sparkle would be closing the dona-tions to the Food Shelf have dropped off. The pantry is always willing to take non-perishable food item donation. We are currently in need of peanut butter, baked beans, tuna and Ramen noodle soups. We also accept dona-tions of personal care items. This time of year the gift of lotions is greatly appreciated. The Salvation Army appreciates the donations given to us and strives to be good stewards in the distribution of these items.

The pantry hours are Monday and Tuesday from 10 a.m to 4 p.m. and Thursdays from noon to 6 p.m.

Concerned Citizens Ohio will continue to offer private water well monitoring on the fourth Monday of every month in 2016, except December. CCO’s water monitoring is offered free to private water well owners between 7 and 8 p.m. in the Community Room of the Hiram Christian Church, at the corner of St. Rt. 700 and 82, in the village of Hiram. CCO is a Portage County-based grassroots group of residents help-ing our neighbors protect our water. Our Water Monitors, trained by the Sierra Club Water Sentinel Program, test for five “indicators:” Conductivity, Total Dissolved Solids, Salinity, Chloride, and Nitrates. These are called indicators because they are not in themselves toxic or immediately harmful, but spiking high levels might indicate the water contains minerals or chemicals that could be harmful.

Water wells which are regularly monitored will show a pattern over the course of a year in which the levels of the monitored indicators fluctuate with the wet and dry conditions in the ground water. Sudden spikes in the indicator numbers for a particular well can indicate a source of contamination.

CCO recommends a more thorough “Tier Three Test” from an accredited lab, if you are concerned about contamination from gas and oil drilling or drilling waste water contamination. Our water monitoring does not measure those, nor bacterial contamination, nor specific minerals like lead. We recommend private water well owners contact the Portage County Health Department or other governmental agencies for additional recommendations regarding such tests as well as ongoing maintenance of your private water well.

Anyone wishing to participate in our Neighbors Helping Neighbors Water Monitoring Program (on February 22 at 7 p.m.) should collect their water sample in a clean, dry, wide-mouthed glass jar, as close to the actual well, spring or water source, but before any treatment (before water softener, chlorine or other additives or filters). The sample should be collected after running the cold water for 5-10 minutes to flush standing water from the pipes. Water should be collected within about a half hour before coming.

The Garrettsville-Hiram Rotary Club met at Cal’s II, Sky Plaza, Garrettsville on February 15 with a Valentine’s hangover that translated into donations to the “Happy Jar” referencing the return of the exchange student son, the outstanding PSAT scores of another son, healthy and safe relatives, a houseful of boys, an approaching graduation, participation in the Christmas Walk, appreciation for simple existence, and a welcome guest, Dr. Mike Carlson.

On the agenda :The Big Red Bookshelf—a Portage Cluster Project—

is proceeding , with several drop-off sites around town for new and gently-used books for children up to 3rd grade, to be distributed to encourage reading. InterAct students at James A. Garfield H.S. are doing their part.

An Eagle Scout project is waiting in the wings, pending consultation with the Portage Park management on the needs of the Headwaters Trail. Rotary will be assisting.

Fit-n-Fun plans are evolving, with dates to be determined ASAP, considering schedules at Garfield Elementary and Ronald McDonald. Local sponsorship (McDonald’s and Charles Auto Family, for example) and involvement has been very helpful and “the Y” may soon be on board as well.

The semi-annual trash pick-up on St. Rte 82 between Garrettsville and Hiram will be coming up in April, hoping for continued participation by InterAct and the local Boy Scouts..and ODOT.

Consideration of the awarding of a scholarship to InterAct Garfield seniors will begin in earnest as graduation approaches.

The 4-Way Speech Contest to take place on April 2 in Aurora has drawn four Garfield students to enter the competition, presenting their speeches to the local Rotary for judging and selection on March 14. Windham students are still being sought. Cash prizes will b e awarded, both locally and at the district level. The aspirants are : Nick Downing, Jane Rader, Joe Emrick and Janice Nystrom.

Arrangements are still being made—volunteers welcome—to get “Art”, our local exchange student from point-to-point for some district-wide exchange student activities. He’s seeing a lot of the country and of the community.

Thoughts on creating a tentative budget have been presented. Stay tuned

Mantua - At their last meeting, outgoing Chief Joe Stoneberg swore in Assistant Chief Matt Roosa as the new Chief of the Mantua-Shalersville Fire Department as firefighters and the Fire Board looked on.

No stranger to the department, Roosa has been with the MSFD for an amazing quarter-century, joining the team in 1991. He has served as Assistant Chief since 2008, although Roosa has made a life of serving the public and fighting fires since the age of 18, and as a Junior Firefighter even earlier. “We’re very proud of him,” beams his wife, Becky. “He’s worked very hard to get here.” Becky had the honor of pinning the Chief insignia on her husband’s uniform during the recent ceremony as the couple’s children, Sam and Natalie, looked on.

The change is effective immediately; Chief Roosa anticipates an increase responsibility with his new role, but looks forward to interacting with the public at least as much has he has in the past. “It’s continues to be my honor to serve the local community,” he acknowledged. His predecessor, Chief Stoneberg, will serve as acting Assistant Chief through the transition, which they anticipate will take a few months.

“It’s been a great honor to serve as Fire Chief at MSFD, but it’s time for someone else to take the lead,” stated Stoneberg. “Matt has served as Assistant Chief since March of 2008, and has seen many changes and upgrades in the department since then,” Stoneberg stated. He mentioned budget constraints, levy campaigns, equipment upgrades, improving ISO ratings as key aspects of that busy timeframe. Stoneberg currently serves as Battalion Chief in Solon, where he oversees three stations with 18-person shifts. He also manages a family farm.

“I want nothing for the best for this department, but it’s time to let someone else have the reins. Matt has put in the most effort during our time of transition and I think he’ll do a great job as Chief,” Stoneberg added. “Besides, with three former chiefs just a phone call away, he won’t be alone,” he concluded.

A proud day for new MSFD Chief Matt Roosa, with his wife, Becky, son, Sam and daughter, Natalie.

GaRRettsville - Garrettsville Village Council may have broken a record for shortest meeting…at least for as far back as any on council could remember. The night’s meeting began with a motion to pay the bills, which passed. During the review of revenue, expenditure, cash balance and income tax reports, councilman Hadzinsky praised council for ending 2015 in the black. According to Hadzinsky, as of January, the village is reporting for 2015 a five-year low on spending trends, which is significant because in April of 2015, spending was at a five-year high. Revenue was also up for 2015, trending as a five-year high. A lot of credit goes to village solicitor Stuck and income tax clerk Valerie McCullough for their rigorous effort in the collection of delinquent income taxes and in councils’ efforts to get the word out that all residents must file and pay municipal income taxes. (2015 Garrettsville tax forms are available online at http://garrettsville.org/income.html)

Next on the agenda was the second reading of Resolution 2016-02, which would authorize the mayor and clerk to enter into a three-year agreement with the Garrettsville-Freedom-Nelson JFD for dispatch services. The coming changes and uncertainties surrounding Garrettsville’s 911-dispatch system were discussed at the last council meeting. A comment was made that council will know by March’s meeting what will happen and be able to vote on the resolution.

Next, council passed Ordinance 2016-03 reducing the employee cost-sharing portion of health insurance premiums to 10%. In June 2015, Council had agreed

to increase employee premiums temporarily to 12.5% to assist in cutting the then-forecast budget deficit.

Council also passed Ordinance 2016-04 (getting rid of the requirement for taxpayers to file a declaration of estimated taxes) Ordinance 2016-05 (making appropriations for current expenses and expenditures for 2016) and Ordinance 2016-06 (clarifying and defining the position of the assistant village clerk-treasurer and the water and sewer department clerk).

During round table discussion, Mayor Patrick mentioned that the repairs to the clock tower were underway, and the clock was now working and displaying the correct time.

If you’d like to know more of what is happening in your community attend a meeting. The next regular Village Council meeting is scheduled for March 9, 2016 at 7:30 p.m. at Village Hall.

1. HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE - Since 1950, there have been 57 different 10-year investment periods (i.e., the 10-year periods 1950-59, 1951-60, 1952-61, etc.). The S&P 500 produced an average annual total return of less than +7% during 14 of the 57 decade-long periods (25% of the time). 19 of the 57 periods (33% of the time) resulted in an average annual total return of at least +14%. The S&P 500 consists of 500 stocks chosen for market size, liquidity and industry group representation. It is a market value weighted index with each stock’s weight in the index proportionate to its market value (source: BTN Research).

2. TRILLIONS - President Obama’s fi scal year (FY) 2017 budget proposal to Congress that was released on Tuesday 2/09/16 calls for spending of $4.147 trillion. Government spending fi rst hit $3 trillion in FY 2008 (actual spending was $2.983 trillion). Government spending fi rst hit $2 trillion in FY 2002 (actual spending was $2.011 trillion). Government spending fi rst hit $1 trillion in FY 1986 (actual spending was $0.990 trillion) (source: OMB).

3. FAUX REDUCTION - The FY 2017 White House budget proposal claims to “achieve $2.9 trillion of defi cit reduction over 10 years.” In reality, the White House plan would reduce (on paper) $9.753 trillion of projected defi cits over the next decade to $6.845 trillion of projected defi cits over the next decade (source: White House).

4. NEAR RECORD - The yield on the 10-year Treasury note fell to 1.66% on Thursday 2/11/16, down from 2.27% as of 12/31/15. The all-time low yield for the 10-year note was 1.39% on 7/24/12 (source: Treasury Department).

5. THE WAY WE WERE - From January 1962 to the end of August 2011 (a period of almost 50 years), the yield on the 10-year Treasury note closed below 2% on 0 trading days, i.e., never (source: Treasury Department).

6. DEPENDENT - Alaska receives 72% of its state tax revenue through “severance” taxes, i.e., taxes levied on oil and gas producers as a result of the extraction of oil and natural gas. The average US state receives just 2% of its state tax revenue through oil and gas “severance” taxes (source: Rockefeller Institute of Government).

“All Awesome, All The Time” Students of the Week

Pictured above are this week’s “All Awesome All the Time Students” Joel Mullins & Art Disthaphongphakdee

Last month we started a Murder Mystery book series that featured The Merlot Murders” by Ellen Crosby. This month we are featuring a double murder – one in the form of a book and one in the form of a live show that you can participate in!

This month’s book is “The Chardonnay Charade” by Ellen Crosby. Our vineyard heiress from last month’s book is back! Lucie Montgomery plans a daring helicopter flight in the middle of the night to protect her vineyard from a Spring frost. But soon her thoughts turn from grapes to murder when she discovers the body of Georgia Greenwood, a controversial political candidate, lying near the fields. Georgia’s husband, Ross, immediately falls under suspicion. To make matters worse, Ross has just discovered a letter that seems to prove that Confederate president Jefferson Davis had prior knowledge of the plot to assassinate Abraham Lincoln. In the small town of Atoka, Virginia, proud home to the “Gray Ghost” (the Confederacy’s legendary guerrilla commander) the letter is a bombshell.

Lucie is focused on protecting and proving Ross’s innocence even if it means making heartbreaking decisions that will alter the lives of those she loves. Find out what happens during your next visit to the winery! Can’t make it to the winery soon or want a copy of the book for yourself ? Stop in The Village Bookstore (8140 Main St, Garrettsville, OH 44231) to see if they have a copy available.

Enjoying our murder mystery series? Want to be involved in our next murder mystery dinner? Then join us on Saturday, February 27th from 6pm – 10pm for our Mardi Gras Murder Mystery Dinner. As you enter the Mardi Gras Masquerade Ball you will be handed a role and a series of clues. Will you be the victim? Or will you be the murderer? Or maybe just an innocent bystander?

Tickets are $24.99 (plus tax and gratuity) and includes a family style 3 course meal. Reservations and payment are due in advance so call the winery today at 330.527.4118 or make your reservations online at www.candlelightwinery.com.

Amanda is the Co-Owner of Candlelight Winery located at 11325 Center Road, Garrettsville. For more information on the winery, please visit www.candlelightwinery.com.

Notes from the vineyardamanda conkol | ColumnistIf you had a timeline of the financial steps you should

probably take in life, what would it look like? Answers to that question will vary, but certain times of life do call for certain financial moves. Some should be made out of caution, others out of opportunity.

What might you want to do in your twenties? First and foremost, you should start saving for retirement – preferably using tax-advantaged retirement accounts that let you direct money into equities. Through equity investing, your money may grow and compound profoundly with time – and you have time on your side.

As a hypothetical example, suppose you are 25 and direct $5,000 annually for 10 years into a retirement account earning a consistent 7%. You stop contributing to the account at age 35 – in fact, you never contribute a dollar to it again. Under such conditions, that $50,000 you have directed into that account over ten years grows to $562,683 by the time you are age 65 with no further action from you. If you contribute $5,000 annually to the account for 40 years starting at 25, you end up with $1,068,048 at 65.1

Aside from equity investment, you will want to try and build your savings – an emergency fund equal to six months of salary. That may seem unnecessarily large, or just too grand a goal, but it is worth pursuing, particularly if you are married or a parent. You could suffer a disability – not necessarily a permanent one, but an illness or injury that might prevent you from earning income. About 25% of people will contend with such an episode during their working lives, the Council for Disability Awareness notes, and less than 5% of disabling illnesses and accidents are job-related, so workers’ comp will not cover them. As Money notes, just 13% of millennials have disability insurance.2,3

What moves make sense in your thirties? You may have married and started a family at this point, so your spending has probably increased quite a bit from when you were single. As you save and invest in pursuit of long-range financial objectives, remember also to play a little defense.

provIded by chrIS perme | Columnist

Smart Financial Moves in Your 20s, 30s, 40s & 50sYou should think about creating a will and a financial

power of attorney in case something unforeseen happens. Another estate planning/asset protection move that becomes essential at this point is life insurance. Right now a 20-year, $250,000 term life policy for a 35-year-old can cost less than $30 a month. It will not build cash value like a permanent life policy, but it can easily be renewed (and in some cases, converted into permanent life insurance).4

What considerations emerge between 40 and 50? This is where you may be “sandwiched” between taking care of your kids and your elderly parents or relatives. Your spending may reach a new peak; hopefully, your salary is rising as well.

Try to maintain your retirement planning effort in the face of these financial stresses – your pace and level of retirement account contributions. You may have teens or pre-teens at home, and if you have not yet considered creating a college fund that can grow and compound over time, now is the right time. You should not dip into your retirement fund to pay for their college educations, no matter how onerous college loans may seem.

You may want to look into long term care insurance. If you are wealthy, or soon will be, it may not be worth buying; you may have the money on hand to pay for years of nursing home care (or other forms of eldercare) that might be needed as you age. If you find yourself in the middle class, LTC insurance may be worth the expense depending on your health history and health outlook. Buying it before age 50 and while you are in good health is a wise move, if you are interested in such coverage.

Between 50 and 60, you are in the “red zone” before retirement. If you can, accelerate your retirement saving through greater contribution levels and/or the catch-up contributions allowed for many retirement accounts after age 50. You may want to tolerate less risk in your portfolio as retirement nears; you may not. Some investment professionals contend that in this era of low interest rates and low inflation, it makes much more sense to tilt a portfolio toward equities than toward fixed-income investments – provided you can put up with the inevitable volatility. Other investment professionals feel that is simply too risky a decision, even with some boomers needing much larger retirement nest eggs.

If possible, think about (and plan for) an approximate retirement date. Aim to reduce your debt as much as possible by that time or earlier. Retiring with multiple major debts can be stressful to say the least. Lastly, check in with a financial professional to gauge how close you are to realizing your long-term financial objectives.

J.A. Garfield Elementary February Students of the Month

Though this area has had a comparatively mild winter, the air is still nippy enough to shoo the most warmly-dressed resident right back into the house. As much fun as it can be to curl up in a cozy blanket and wrap one’s hands around a comforting cup of cocoa to watch the snowflakes float down to the earth, at some point even the most serene of us can start to go stir-crazy cooped up in close quarters. Luckily, local libraries offer quite the assortment of activities to get patrons up and about, providing educational and social reasons to fly the coop – and that “cooped up” feeling – for the time being.

Recently referred to as a “Third Space” or “Third Place” (a relatively new phrase coined to describe somewhere other than home or work where people purposely spend a significant chunk of their time), the library has evolved into something more than just a place to read a book. From the presentation of programs, classes and workshops to calls for art and photography displays that temporarily turn the literary house into a collector’s museum or gallery, these places provide a rotating menu of activities to enrich one’s mind and body. For February, patrons of the Newton Falls Public Library can step up their computer skills with one-on-one technology sessions, great for brushing up the look of that resume if advancing your career is a goal for 2016. Youngsters of all ages have options during the week to explore kid-friendly science (Tuesdays), enjoy storytime (Wednesdays), or participate in a junior book club show-and-tell style (Thursdays). A full schedule of events, exact times and registration requirements can be found by visiting www.newtonfalls.org or calling (330) 872-1282.

The 44444 isn’t the only place with great programs, as other area libraries offer intriguing events as well, whether it be Reed Memorial’s monthly puzzle exchange (every second Saturday, starting at 9am), Twinsburg’s yoga classes (various Saturdays and some weekdays), Hudson’s visiting author lectures, or various specialties through the Portage County branches such as Aurora’s cooking club (the last Tuesday of the month) or Garrettsville’s book club (third Tuesdays). Several systems schedule sewing or knitting groups, providing a place to perform a typically solo activity and transforming it into an opportunity to socialize with others who share similar interests while making progress on your own project without the distractions of the dirty laundry, sink full of dishes or other responsibilities that will always be waiting at home. And if you’d like to showcase your stitchery skills, the Stow library will soon be accepting entries for its 42nd annual needlework show to be held throughout March. Even if you don’t wish to contribute a piece to share with others, attending is a great way to be inspired and

learn something new to apply to your own art.Did you receive a new tablet for Christmas? “New

gadget” classes can help you figure out what to do next. Most reference librarians can assist individual patrons on a walk-in basis as time allows while some libraries schedule specific drop-in times or formal sit-down courses. Check the calendar of your favorite library for when and what they offer.

And for those of us who are perfectly happy not venturing out into the cold at all, even if it means spending the day somewhere as interesting as a library, technological advances provide a way to bring the library to us! With the expansion of the materials collection into a digital format, you can “visit” the library without ever leaving home. That new tablet can do more than just give its owner an electronic headache – with a plethora of apps ranging from GPS maps to your favorite television shows literally at your fingertips, one of the best features, in this booknerd’s opinion, is the option to download free ebooks from any library where you have a library card. Programs such as Overdrive, Zinio or Flipster allow patrons to access a selection of books or magazines that can be downloaded directly to their device for the length of a typical loan. We’ve long heard of bookmobiles and outreach routes, but this is instant gratification at its best. No thirty-minutes-or-less guarantees needed for this delicious delivery service transporting the reader to a completely different world!

Library Events Help Cure Cabin Fever

On Saturday, January 16 the Portage County Soap Box Derby traveled to the Suffield township hall to show pinewood derby contestants, and pictured Troop/pact 123 a few things about an actual Derby race car. John Denison, Derby Dad “racer”, explained to the cub scouts how the brakes work, steering safety, and parts of a Derby car. All of the Cub Scout contestants who were 7 years old or older received a free ticket for an opportunity to ride down the “Hill” at Derby Downs this spring on May 7th, or 8th, in a real derby car. This is the same weekend when a “Rally Race at the Hill”, sponsored by the Portage County Soap Box Derby, is held. Racers from all over Ohio, and adjoining states will race that weekend.

The Portage Derby is also giving free rides down Derby Downs Hill, to any student 7 through 18 years old. This is a great way see why so many students enjoy derby racing!

On January 23rd, and 24th a few Portage

County racers, rally-raced at the Summit County Fair Grounds indoors! Points earned from this race will help the racers to race at Derby Downs Championships, in July. There are race cities around the US which sponsor indoor derby races in the deep of winter. One family of racers traveled to Maine to race in an old shoe factory, and enjoyed a lobster dinner that evening. · ·

At the Summit Indoor race Julianne Moore took two 2nd place finishes, and her brother PJ took 3rd, and 5th place finishes. Both racers attend Crestwood Schools.

The Portage County Soap Box Derby is also sponsoring a Reverse Raffle on March 19 at the Elks Club in Ravenna; tickets are $30 per person. 21 and over, all proceeds will benefit the Portage Derby.

For more information on the Reverse Raffle, a free ride down the hill, or Derby racing please contact Dave Adkins at: 330-297-5056
