But this was more than just a day of fun in the sun for Hiram’s students. According to Sandra Madar, Professor of Biology & Biomedical Humanities, roughly 180 high school students from Northeast Ohio Medical University (NEOMED), Crestwood, Garfield, Twinsburg, and Windham visited campus to attend the special health and wellness fair. And that’s in addition to the 1,200 Hiram College students who also participated in the campus-wide event. The high point of the event, by far, was the state-of- the-art mobile surgical suite that was brought to campus by Hiram alumni and Surgical Training Institute President, Rick Anthony. One of the largest providers of surgical training in the country, Anthony’s mobile units are used around the country by professionals for research and educational purposes on new products and procedures. He brought the 900 square foot facility to Hiram for the day to give prospective medical professionals, “a look at what takes to be a doctor”. Equipped with thousands of orthopedic surgery tools and medical instruments, the mobile unit can accommodate eight to ten stations, and includes refrigeration unit, instrument washers, and x-ray equipment. Crestwood High School student Cydney, under the direction of University Hospitals surgical nurse Alexesace Reese, learned how to suture on a portion of artificial skin at one station. For this program, two surgical stations included human tissue -- a cadaver arm from a 68-year-old woman who succumbed to lung cancer and a cadaver leg from a 58-year-old female who died of cervical cancer. At another station, orthopedic resident Dr. Drew Wroblewski demonstrated several procedures on a cadaver arm. At one point, he asked a student volunteer to assist, and Allison, also from Crestwood, jumped at the opportunity. Other stations included an investigation of the heart and lung of a pig. Upon exiting the mobile unit, future pathologist, Amber, beamed, “I like how interactive this is,” while future ER nurse Kaitlyn added, “I thought it would smell, but it didn’t -- it was really cool!” At Hiram’s nursing school, located in the Teachout Price building, visitors to the simulation lab learned to check patients’ vital signs, start IV’s, manage wound care, and handle equipment on a variety of electronic mannequins that allow students to gain hands-on experience prior to working with live patients. Stacia, a junior nursing student, acknowledged that at Hiram, she began her clinical rotation at a hospital during her sophomore year, earlier than most other schools allow. And each new semester brings Hiram’s nursing students to a new clinical rotation at an Akron or Cleveland area healthcare facility, providing a well-rounded experience. “Hiram College is well-known in the medical community,” shared Hiram College Chief of Staff Cristine Boyd. “Our biomedical humanities program is first in the country.” While on campus, prospective students learned more about Hiram’s academic health programs, including how an undergraduate degree from Hiram may open doors to graduate programs at partner institutions Case Western Reserve University and NEOMED. Students had an opportunity to speak to advisors and find out how their psychology, sociology, or educational studies major could prepare them for a career in the healthcare field. Success stories of recent Hiram graduate were posted throughout the fair’s green space, giving both current and potential students ideas on future career paths. After a complimentary lunch of burrito bowls, students had the chance to participate in ice block sledding down the hill beside the gymnasium, or to hike along trails at the 545-acre field station. Attendees also had the opportunity to take a sleep quiz and learn why sleep matters as a part of the Huffington Post’s Sleep Revolution. “Overall, this event gives prospective students an in-depth view of healthcare professionals, while celebrating wellness in a fun-filled environment,” Dr. Madar concluded.

Separation of Church and State?

May 29A presentation “Separation of Church and State? How, Why, When, and Where Do We go from Here?” will be held on May 29 at 11 a.m. at the United Methodist Church of Garrettsville located at 8223 Park Ave. Invite a friend! Our money says “In God We Trust” and the Pledge of Allegiance says that we pledge ourselves to “...One Nation, Under God...” and then we are told that there is a separation between Church and State! How can this be? This has been confusing people for a long time. People speak of the need for prayer in school and the need for the country to return to God, and the idea of this “Wall of Separation” sounds like a very bad idea. Come and learn about the history of this issue and what extensive religious rights we actually do have in our country. All are welcome.

Hiram - At the last Village Council meeting, Mantua Village Police Chief Harry Buchert and Lieutenant Ken Justus were present to provide background information on Resolution 2016-15, regarding dispatching services for both the Hiram Police and Fire Departments. Accord-ing to Chief Buchert, changes to the State 911 system, coupled with the fact that Garrettsville will be closing it’s dispatch operation in July of this year, has provided incentive to combine community dispatching services with five neighboring community organizations. The Village of Hiram’s Police and Fire calls are currently dispatched through Mantua’s dispatch center. Since there are major equipment and personnel costs involved in complying with the State’s new 911 requirements, the Village of Mantua’s dispatch costs will increase, but by sharing those costs across additional communities, the burden will be shared. For the communities currently considering contracting through Mantua, dispatching costs were calculated based on population and activity (i.e. number of calls or traffic stops) by community, and depends on each community’s participation. While the cost for the new program is nearly double the cost of the current program, according to Hiram Police Chief Samec, dispatching through the Portage County Sheriff’s office, the next viable option, would be far more expen-sive than Mantua’s program. Council is considering the proposal, and will be receiving more information about which communities plan to participate in the program at the next Council meeting.

In his Police Report, Chief Samec shared that several officers have participated in training recently. Topics included credit card fraud, prescription drugs & steroids, and active shooter training. The Chief reported that the annual pancake Breakfast, a fundraiser for the ‘Shop with a Cop’ holiday program, was successful, and he thanked the community for supporting the worthwhile cause. He also reported that the new cruiser has been delivered; accessories were installed at Kepich Ford in Garrettsville. In his Fire Report, Chief Bill Byers reported that response time is less than six minutes. Other than the proposed dispatch agreement, he had nothing else notable to share with Council.

Village Administrator James McGee reported that he has been in discussions with the architect regarding renovations to Hiram’s municipal building. Upon review of initial plans with Department heads, Mr. McGee had asked for revisions to the original plans. He’ll discuss the project costs with the Finance Department, and will be bringing recommendations and suggestions for project phasing to the next Council meeting. In other news, he estimates that the Village is losing a large amount of wa-ter, due to undetected leaks in the underground system, and is looking into placing flow meters in three or four key flow areas to determine where the issues are. Lastly, McGee reported that the sewer project was scheduled to start at the end of April and take three to four days to complete. He reported that the annual spring clean up will take place on Saturday, May 21st, with dumpsters located in the back lot of the municipal building for residents convenience.

In public comment, a resident asked for clarifica-tion on the sidewalk repairs and construction. She was informed that the Village will be adding new sidewalks along state routes that currently do no have sidewalks, thanks to an AMATS grant. Council President Tom Wadkins shared that while Village ordinances currently state that sidewalk repair is the homeowner’s responsi-bility, new legislation was on the agenda for a vote that evening which states that sidewalk repair costs should not be borne by residents. Later, Council unanimously passed that legislation. Village Administrator McGee stated that the AMATs project should be completed by fall.

The next Council meeting will be held on Tuesday, May 10th at 7 pm, and residents are encouraged to attend.

Garrettsville - Hiram Rotary ReportIt was “business as usual” for the members of the

Garrettsville-Hiram Rotary on May 2, 2016, meeting at Cal’s II, Sky Plaza, Garrettsville, 12:00p.m.—sharp!No funny business; just the usual stuff :

Christian Crawford will also be attending RYLA sessions this summer.

Information has arrived about the possible next Rotary Student Exchange participant, from Germany. Families are always needed to host these kids; contact a Rotary member for information about bringing this experience to your family; three host families are required for each student.

Discussions are still under way concerning a formal application for the awarding of a Rotary scholarship, this year’s will be chosen as usual but change is coming.

Public service note : take a look at the daffodils at the fountain by the Boardwalk; they’re a long-ago Rotary project.

Shoebox projects are on the drawing board for next year. This year’s InterAct group did a splendid job in sending off ten of these to encourage school attendance among poverty-stricken youth in Nicaragua.

The little library book collection continues; the Y and the United Way are co-operating with the Portage Cluster to collect and distribute books on the RED shelves. The District 6630 book project—BLUE shelves—send reading materials to shelters.

The Fit-n-Fun Family Festival is on for Sunday, May 15, at the South Street Park in Garrettsville from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. Ronald McDonald will be making an appearance, as will Garrettsville’s K-9 officer, Jack and the Garrettsville-Freedom-Nelson Volunteer Fire Department—with trucks! There will be healthy snacks available, bike demo’s, bandannas from the Portage Park District, an excursion on the Headwaters Trail, which begins at the South Street Park. Adults interested in a free (donations gladly accepted, must be 18 or older)glucose blood test can get one at the Festival. Prizes for participation on the day and over the summer will be awarded—last year two bikes were given in the fall for keeping a fitness journal over the summer, this year local prizes may include movie passes, bowling outings, things that can be done by families together. Information is going out. Plan to bring the family for a fine and fit time that may inspire you all year.

A plan for a clean-up day on Silver/Eagle Creek beneath the Boardwalk is taking shape. More info at a later date.

The anniversary celebration for the 90th year of existence of Garrettsville-Hiram Rotary may be moving to the date of the summer steak-fry in August (second Monday, August 8). Members of the Portage Cluster and other local clubs will be on the invitations list, as well as

Cheryl Warren, past district governor and any local past members wishing to join in the festivities. Preparations are on-going. Save the date.

An additional donation to the Garfield after-prom will be going out to help keep local teens safe and happy.

Portage County Chapter of the Ohio Genealogical Society To Meet

mantua - At a recent Fire Board meeting, part-time firefighter and paramedic Matt Young was sworn in. In similar news, Fire Chief Matt Roosa informed the Board that the Department’s updated Employee Handbook, along with updates to the Statndard Operating Procedures, would be ready at the beginning of May.

In other news, the Chief shared some maintenance issues the Department has experienced with both the building and some apparatus. The building’s hot water tanks, which were installed when the building was built in 2003, are leaking. Upon inspection by a licensed plumber, they determined that the leaks were due to a calcium buildup in the pipes, and the tanks need to be replaced. The Board unanimously agreed that the tanks should be replaced as soon as possible. In addition, the overly complex water distribution system, jokingly referred to as the plumbing ‘tree’ will be ‘pruned’ to simplify water distribution throughout the facility. In similar news, Chief Roosa informed the Board that Engine Two is out for repairs due to road salt corrosion. The engine is six years old. He informed Fiscal Officer Kay Ziska that she would be receiving some invoices for ladder testing, pump testing, and other annual preventative maintenance procedures.

Lastly, thanks to assistance from the MSFD, 4th graders in the Crestwood Intermediate ‘Just Say No’ anti-drug program received visits by Dr. Coleman, Dr. Garlisi, and Dr. Zimmerman from University Hospitals. Throughout the yearlong JSN program, students learned about the detrimental effects of drugs and alcohol in their own lives and in the lives of their family members. By bringing the medical doctors to meet with students,

the MDs were able to provide first-hand information to students the effects of drugs and alcohol from the physician’s viewpoint. The doctors shared what they see happening in the community regarding the use of drugs, which effect people as young as 13, and up to 70 years old. “We felt it was important for students to meet the doctors, and to give kids the chance to ask them questions,” Chief Roosa explained. “Students questions were spot-on,” the Chief beamed. “This opportunity gave kids another valuable resource to help educate kids on the harmful effects of drugs and alcohol, and we’re pleased it was so well-received at school.” Other Just Say No programs included a visit from Crestwood Middle School students, who shared some advice on how to ‘just say no’ when confronted with peer pressure to try drugs, alcohol, or other unsafe activities.

The next Mantua-Shalersville Fire Board meeting will be held on Monday, May 9th at 6 pm at the fire station.

MSFD Helps Students Just Say No

Crestwood students received a visit from University Hospital doctors as part of their ‘Just Say No’ anti-drug program, thanks to MSFD.

Garrettsville - James A. Garfield Power of the Pen writers are heading to the State Tournament at the College of Wooster on May 26 & 27.

The Power of the Pen team is coached by 7th Grade Language Arts teacher, Jackie Lovelace.

GMS State Bound Power of the Pen Writers

The tenth annual James A. Garfield Hall of Fame induction was—as usual—a great success as it took place on April 30 in the Pro-fessional Development Center in the Garfield Elementary School.

Chief organizer Sheri Johnson and Mas-ter of Ceremonies Joe Malmisur, committee members Annette and Stan Carlisle, John Ben-nett, Jim Pfleger, Iva Walker and Ted Lysiak, with the able assistance of some stalwart high school athletes, kept the program moving and attendees informed throughout the evening. Local supporters and out-of-towners, friends and families met and mingled before and after the ceremony. Mr. Malmisur spoke briefly in praise of the Hall of Fame, its aims and founding by Don Moore—he being an honoree himself—and the James A. Garfield School District. All listened attentively as the inductions took place and the war hero, the baseball-and-all-around-sports guy and the football-and-track champs were introduced...and the educator.

VFW members Bill Cline and John Kable had led the group in the Pledge of Allegiance, in recognition of the service of Robert E. Armstrong, recently deceased honoree, holder of the Silver Star and the Distinguished Service Cross presented for conspicuous gallantry in action in Viet Nam. Specialist 4 Armstrong’s story was related by his son, Troy Armstrong, introduced by Ed Baker; other family members attending included Sue Armstrong and Mark Armstrong. Classmates of the Class of ’65 joined in the recognition.

Corey Johnson(’05) was introduced by his uncle, Barry Humberson, ; he gave credit to his teammates and teamwork in general for much of his success (the tale about his shorts at a track meet was instructive). Ray Bohn(’06) and Matt Pfleger(06) were both introduced

by Jim Pfleger, Garfield throwers coach and athletic director (Matt’s older brother and encourager); he had stories as well, about football, about track, about talent, about hard work and dedication. Both of the young men spoke of the outstanding support of family and friends and coaches which they had received in their careers.

Bon vivant Barry Vancura had the final introduction of the evening and in his inimitable style, presented the educator, Iva Walker, whose motivation in the profes-sion has attempted to mirror the words of John Wesley : “Do all the good you can, By all the means you can, In all the ways you can, In all the places you can, At all the times you can, To all the people you can, As long as ever you can.”

It’s working so far.Many thanks, much pride in all who have been part of

the picture—colleagues, students, athletes (That includes cheerleaders!), musicians and performers... humble?...I’m trying, but the preceding thoughts take over sometimes.

Go, G-Men!

newton Falls - In recognition of a commitment to quality and an ongoing dedication to the learning and development of children, Newton’s Apples Childcare & Learning Center has earned a Two-Star Step Up To Quality Award from the state of Ohio.

Step Up To Quality is Ohio’s rating system for learning and development programs. Step Up To Quality (SUTQ) is a voluntary five–star quality rating system administered by the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services (ODJFS) and the Ohio Department of Education (ODE) that recognizes and promotes learning and development programs that meet quality benchmarks over and above minimum health and safety licensing standards. The steps are based on national research identifying the program standards that lead to improved outcomes for children.

These program standards include: low child to staff ratios, smaller group size, higher staff education, on–going specialized training, improved workplace characteristics, and learning standards.

“I am so very proud of our program and our hard-working staff for earning this two-star rating,” said Tammy Fortunato, director. “We know that children have about 1,892 days from birth until kindergarten starts, and every day matters. It is important to us that children develop self-confidence, social and emotional skills, and a love of learning during the preschool years.”

Research confirms that the first five years of a child’s life have a direct impact on how children develop emotional well-being, and learning and social skills. CPS, the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services and the Ohio Department of Education are committed to improving early childhood opportunities for all of Ohio’s children.

Windham Jr. /Sr. High Honor Roll Third Grading Period - 2016

A classic retirement planning rule states that you should retire on 80% of the income you earned in your last year of work. Is this old axiom still true, or does it need reconsidering?

Some new research suggests that retirees may not need that much annual income to keep up their standard of living.

The 80% rule is really just a guideline. It refers to 80% of a retiree’s final yearly gross income, rather than his or her net pay. The difference between gross income and wages after withholdings and taxes is significant to say the least.1

The major financial challenge for the new retiree is how to replace his or her paycheck, not his or her gross income.

So concluded Texas Tech University professor Michael Finke, who analyzed the 80% rule last year and published his conclusions in Research, a magazine for financial services industry professionals. Finke noted four factors that the 80% rule does not recognize. One, retirees no longer need to direct part of their incomes into retirement accounts. Two, they no longer involuntarily contribute to Social Security and Medicare, as they did while working. Three, most retirees do not have a daily commute, nor the daily expenses that accompany it. Four, people often retire into a lower income tax bracket.1

Given all these factors, Finke concluded that the typical retiree could probably sustain their lifestyle with no more than 77% of an end salary, or 60% of his or her average annual lifetime income.1

Retirees need to determine the expenses that will diminish in retirement. That determination, rather than a simple rule of thumb, will help them realize the level of income they need.

Imagine two 60-year-old workers, both earning identical salaries at the same firm. One currently directs 25% of her pay into a workplace retirement plan. The other directs just 5% of her pay into that plan. The worker deferring 25% of her salary into retirement savings needs to replace a lower percentage of her pay in retirement than the worker deferring only 5% of hers. Relatively speaking, the more avid retirement saver is already used to living on less.

New retirees may not necessarily find themselves living on less. The retirement experience differs for everyone, and so does retiree personal spending.

provIded By chrIS perme | Columnist

Should You Plan to Retire on 80% of Your Income?As a recent Employee Benefit Research Institute study

noted, household spending typically declines 6% in the first two years of retirement, with additional declines thereafter. This is not the story for all retirees; EBRI also found that almost 46% of retiree households increased their spending in the initial two years of retirement. On the other side of the scale, nearly 40% of the retiree households EBRI studied saw their expenses fall by at least 20% within two years of retiring.2

A timeline of typical retiree spending resembles a “smile.” A 2013 study from investment research firm Morningstar noted that a retiree household’s inflation-adjusted spending usually dips at the start of retirement, bottoms out in the middle of the retirement experience, and then increases toward the very end.2

A retirement budget is a very good idea. There will be some out-of-budget costs, of course, ranging from the pleasant to the unpleasant. Those financial exceptions aside, abiding by a monthly budget (with or without the use of free online tools) may help you to rein in any questionable spending.

Any retirement income strategy should be personalized. Your own strategy should be based on an accurate, detailed assessment of your income needs and your available income resources. That information will help you discern just how much income you will need when retired.

As the moon goes to bed, the sun comes upAnd here we meet a sleepy pup,

Who was walking through G-ville one bright sunny day,Then saw The Villager and decided to stay.

Once the game was completed and his favorite little humans started to go their separate ways down each of the various streets that Doodle Dog knew would lead them to each of their houses, the little floppy-eared puppy continued to half hop, er, half scamper along the sidewalk himself, this time being extra mindful of each thin crack in between the solid concrete sheets making up the trail stretching behind, to the side, and far off in front of him. As much time as he traveled around town, Doodle Dog had yet to explore EVERY path where the winding sidewalks went and today was as good a day as any to see what adventures could be found if his paws picked no particular way to patter, as long as it was somewhere new. That was certainly a rule he could follow!

As Doodle Dog’s claws left the chalk dust in tiny clouds and splotches behind him, the squares ahead of him had different materials covering them as well. To the left of him, the dark gray mixed with a scattering of green grass clippings, more evidence that spring had finally arrived, bringing with it the sound of the whirring lawn mowers that left newly-trimmed squares of yard in their wake. Doodle Dog didn’t have to take that path to smell the fresh, sharp aroma of the bendable baby blades poking out from the blanket of the earth. Mmmmm. To his right, a lighter smooth gray the shade of the clouds covering the sun just after a storm blended with a smattering of what appeared to be berries dropped from a nearby tree drooping over them. The little red balls combined to create a colorful carpet leading the way to what Doodle Dog imagined might be a yummy conclusion to the day. Just as the little floppy-eared puppy turned to spot what shared the sidewalk squares spread out directly in front of him, one of the little red berries twitched slightly. It moved?! No wind rustled the leaves in the trees or rumpled the puppy’s floppy ears, so a breeze wasn’t to blame, but the curious Doodle Dog knew he hadn’t been imagining the quiver. His paws placed on solid ground with no earth shaking beneath him, so a quiet quake wasn’t the culprit either, but as he watched, the tiny round seed twitched again!

Gently stepping over the nearest sidewalk square, being careful to avoid the crack, around the mossy obstacle of blustered grass, being careful not to sneeze, and through the scarlet sea of itty bitty beads that once draped from the delicate tree, being careful not to squish them, Doodle Dog cautiously bent down to sniff the one he was sure hadn’t been sitting so perfectly still as the rest. Just as his nose was about to get a whiff to try and solve the mystery, it solved itself as a tiny round creature with a red shell just like the berries opened its wings and flew off a few feet in front of the floppy-eared puppy. Now he could see the little black dots on the bug’s back which were so small from far away there had been no distinguishing it from the rest of the collection. The fact that it was flying helped quite a bit now too! As the ladybug buzzed and flittered ahead of him, Doodle Dog didn’t waste a moment seeing where it would go. As it dipped here and there and skittered through the air, the little ladybug resembled one of the petite pebbles

skipping from place to place in the hopscotch game. Doodle Dog wondered what the rules for the airborne version might be. The ladybug didn’t seem to care if there were instructions or not, simply letting the gentle gusts guide its commute. The floppy-eared puppy traveled right along behind it, though with at least his two back feet firmly on the ground and a front paw or two tempted to continue reaching skyward, trying to keep the ladybug’s spots in view.

Over the sidewalk squares Doodle Dog’s four paws went as the ladybug directed his path this way and under a limp tree limb his floppy ears ducked as the flighty creature led the chase that way, at times no bigger than a swift fleck of chalk dust for the equally quick puppy to follow. Soon the pursuit took a turn from the sparkly granite trails and the thin covering of cut grass to the thick plush landscape of the meadow Doodle Dog hadn’t visited for a while. He nearly forgot how beautifully the different shades of the grass blades combined to make one endless ocean of emerald, jade, lime and olive and even some tones that looked like freshly picked pods of peas. Just past the welcoming hues of green mingling ever so politely with each other, the floppy-eared puppy’s gaze followed his friend’s flight to the edge of the flower field, successfully sprouting up with the siren call of spring. The colors of each bud resembled the bright chalky lines previously bordering the children’s playful feet, and each yellow, orange, pink and lavender dot helped to frame the scene as the little leaping ladybug landed on the most brilliant of emerald leaves nearby. Following those little red and black stars as they swoop through the sky is supposed to be lucky, right? Since his first chance at adventure with one

wound up in his favorite meadow, the floppy-eared puppy certainly thought so!

mantua - On April 21st 4C’s held their annual volunteer luncheon at Hilltop Christian Church. Hilltop has generously allowed us to house our food cupboard in a portion of their building.

Pat Sargent, who began 4C’s in 1981, attended the luncheon. Our president, Roger Hurd, thanked the officers and shared that we are the third largest food cupboard in Portage County, serving 100 families each month. Ellie Monroe brought her beautiful quilt (pictured above), which will be auctioned off at the November Craft Show, with all proceeds from raffle going to 4C’s. Last year Ellie’s quilt raised $700.

We wish to thank the Lion’s Club for their support and everyone who contributes to 4C’s.

Just in case you were wondering as you munched on a small fruit-filled snack cookie, the Nabisco (now part of Mondelez International) Fig Newton (now, since 2012, simply Newton, since the addition of 100% Whole Grain Triple Berry, 100% Whole Grain Sweet Peach & Apricot, 100% Whole Grain Baked Apple & Cinnamon...there are also fat-free and mini Newtons...and Paul Newman’s company sells Fig Newmans) is 125 years old this year, having been first offered to the public in 1891. The figs are still around, they’ve just got company. There are also Newton’s Fruit Thins, introduced in Canada, which are crisps with fruit, a variation on Peek Freans. ( If you were named Peek Freans, wouldn’t you be looking for a variation?)

They’ve also inspired—if that’s the correct word for it—some interesting recipes in James Lileck’s Gallery of Regrettable Food, namely, Ham & Cheese-Topped Newtons and Nutty Newton Apple Roll-ups. Yum yum, right? There are others in the OFFICIAL Newtons book of recipes, including lemon meringue Newton

Iva Walker | Columnist

Fig Newtonstarts, Brie-topped Newtons, Fig Newton-topped sweet potato and Super Newton Smoothies Makes one think about the terrible things that some people are driven to do with Spam, which isn’t an inherently bad food, but is occasionally tortured into masquerading as another thing altogether. The expression, “Making a silk purse out of a sow’s ear,” seems all too appropriate, doesn’t it?

Anyway, I found a recipe for homemade fig newtons which looks interesting. Calls for orange zest in the dough, which must be chilled before rolling out and stuffing with fig filling; it looks kind of like a flattened log when you bake it. So you bake it then you cut the logs into separate newtons and put them in a plastic bag to steam. This harks back to the very beginnings of the things when they were made by the Kennedy Steam Bakery Company, which later combined with the New York Biscuit Company to become Nabisco, the National Biscuit Company. I found this recipe online and it seemed interesting—orange zest in the dough, the steaming bit—and the comments by others who had tried it were pretty enthusiastic, so I think that I’ll try it sometime. Grandma Tr’ybl might have given it a shot but MY grandmas wouldn’t give it a second thought. They did soft ginger cookies and sour cream cookies (with real sour cream off the top of the milk bottle) to die for; they didn’t need any fancy-schmancy fig Newtons, for pity’s sake. Probably never saw a fig either.

And speaking of heirloom topics...the Indianapolis 500 celebrates its 100th running this year. It’s a little bit of a semantics game, actually, because the racing began there in 1909 and continued through 1910 and 1911 beset by problems with track maintenance and fluctuating attendance but became a real thing with the triumph of Ray Haroun driving a Marmon (now there’s an automobile name that’s long gone) Wasp racing car that sported his own invention, a rear view mirror (so he didn’t have to have a ride-along mechanic to tell him where the other cars --thirty-nine of them—were). The prize money was the princely sum of $25,000. Well, 1n 1911, princes could get along on a lot less.

Anyway, the 100th running of the “Greatest Spectacle in Racing”, part of the “Triple Crown of Motorsports” takes place in the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in Speedway, Indiana (just outside of Indianapolis on Memorial Day as part of the Verizon (everything’s got a sponsor’s name appended nowadays, have you noticed?) IndyCar Series. The 100th year from the beginning of when the race was first run was celebrated back in 2009 but there were two not inconsiderable interruptions—WWI and WWII. The attendance is estimated at around 300,000 on a good day and the event is opened by the Perdue All-American Marching Band. The bicentennial series of commemorative quarters issued by the U.S. Mint shows the Indiana coin featuring an Indy racer and the nickname “Crossroads of America”.

One oddity that I have never seen—possibly because I hardly ever watch it—is the custom of presenting the winner of the race with a bottle of milk (Does Budweiser know about this?) at the conclusion of the competition. It stems from a winner named Louis Meyer requesting such a beverage, which was brought to him in a glass, after winning his second competition in 1933, then making the same request after winning his third race in 1936. Apparently, after the third win, the milk was

So Spring is here, unfortunately this has not been the best season so far and many farmers are feeling pressure with the amount of work ahead of them in the fields. However just this past weekend I finally saw the first sign of Spring – the dandelions have finally come out. Our fields have been covered in bright yellow flowers reminding us that it’s time to start cutting grass again!

But the thought of dandelions does bring up some interesting conversations. Did you know that one of the largest producers of Dandelion wine is just a one tank trip away? Breitenbach Winery in Dover, Ohio hosts an annual Dandelion May Festival the first weekend in May each year. Not only will they be selling dandelion wine, but there is live entertainment, dandelion picking contests, dandelion cook-offs and dandelion jelly. If you would like more information on this event, check out www. breitenbachwine.com.

While I am not a fan of dandelion wine there are some great recipes available if you want to try a batch yourself. Out of all of the recipes I have tried for dandelion wine, I like this recipe the most because it has more of a citrus flavor from the fresh oranges and lemons.

4 quarts of Dandelion flowers 3 oranges (finely chopped)4 lbs. of sugar 3 lemons (finely chopped)1 oz. of yeast cheese cloth cock pot large kettle filtering paper bottle or container to store wine

Pick the dandelion blooms early in the morning and clean them well. Be fussy about the cleaning as some bugs will give you off flavors. Place the dandelions in a large crock and pour hot water over them until they are completely covered. Remove the blossoms and let the water cool to about 80 degrees. Stir in the yeast, sugar, oranges and lemons; pour into a plastic fermentor, and attach a fermentation lock. Let the wine ferment in a cool area until the bubbles stop, (approximately 10 to 14 days). Once fermentation time is up pour wine through filtering paper into bottles. Enjoy!

brought out in a bottle and he upended the thing to slug down the contents (classic beer-drinker’s pose) and raised three fingers, signifying the third win. Some local dairy operator, recognizing a marketing opportunity when he saw it, offered to give a bottle to every winner in following years. One subsequent winner, Emerson Fittipaldi, earned a crowd’s displeasure by drinking orange juice instead—well, he did own and operate an orange grove—and was roundly booed when he went to compete at a ChampCar race in Milwaukee, Wisconsin (the Dairy State). Champs today are given a choice of whole, 2% or skim.

This year a group known as the Indiana Humanities is reviving a tradition from back in the 1920’s, an official poem included in the program. The winner of the poetry competition, Adam Henze, is an educator and a doctoral candidate at Indiana University and won out over more than 200 other entries. He will receive $1000 and two tickets to the event. The title of his poem is “For Those Who Love Fast, Loud Things.” So...he nailed it on the title, at least. It’s kind of a neat poem, actually, some sixteen lines, and ends by saying, “Race fans, thank you for being the sparks that start the engines.”

Reminds me of a quote I saw once, “Writing about music is like dancing about architecture,”...or poems about car racing, eh?

December 11, 1929 at Sheller’s Restaurant on Main Street, Garrettsville’s American Legion’s Auxiliary Unit 32 was founded. The Auxiliary was composed of wives, sisters, and daughters of Legionnaire members of World War I, (WWII and the Korean conflict came later). They were chartered by Jan. 1930 with 33 members from Garrettsville and Windham.

By 1940 the group had purchased property on High Street; construction began in 1949 and setting up the Home Corp. the same year. Windham members left to start their own Auxiliary, also in 1949. In 1950-53 membership grew to 123. Membership continued to stay strong in the 60’s and 70’s. But by 1988 membership had aged to the extent that the Legion and Auxiliary sold the Home to the Village of Garrettsville. In 1997 the remaining 7 members disbanded.

In the early days they raised money by selling cards, dish cloths, knives and cookbooks. They held raffles, and public dinners. They also put on plays at the old Opera House. Every year they sold hundreds of poppies made by disabled veterans. They sent representatives to Girls State and bought dozens of American flags for school classrooms, libraries and the park. During World War II they made Comfort Kits, wrapped bandages, sent cards and cookies for area soldiers serving overseas. They sold subscriptions to the Garrettsville Journal and the list goes on.

For several years Garrettsville’s American Legion Auxiliary Unit 32 had received the citation of Merit in carrying out the Auxiliary program.

answer to last week’s puzzle

Fun By The Numbers

Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
