ONE Health Ohio celebrated the opening of its Falls Family Care facility last week, welcoming residents and visitors of the 44444 with an open house Wednesday afternoon. Following the ribbon cutting festivities led by community and regional officials, attendees were treated to a tour guided by one of the friendly staff members and were able to see the amazing transformation of the building that once housed the video store (across from Huntington Bank) and will now provide a place for patients to receive state of the art medical and dental services. The beautifully redesigned center is a 7,000 square foot facility with six exam rooms, five dental treatment rooms and onsite X-ray and lab services utilizing the latest advances in diagnostic technology. In addition to general family healthcare, specialties such has behavioral health counseling will soon be offered. Once the brief but informative tour was completed, potential future patrons were introduced to the various personnel who will be a vital part of the daily operations and encouraged to ask any questions they might have. Organizers then invited the over 300 attendees to enjoy a light lunch, enter a raffle drawing, and take home a goodie bag with helpful items such as a magnet with the center’s contact information and thoughtful items such as a packet of flower seeds meant to attract and feed butterflies, all tucked into a reusable “ragbag” printed with the multitude of ways one could put it to further use. Marketing Director Megan Kovacich mentioned that one of the most common misconceptions about ONE Health Ohio, which has been in business for 30 years this year, is that “people think we’re a clinic just for low income families.” But that isn’t the case. Kovacich explains that Falls Family Care accepts all patients, adults and children alike, regardless of income or insurance status. Everyone who is treated pays for services and there is an ACA counselor available to discuss financial options with those patients who are uninsured or underinsured. ONE Health Ohio prides itself on providing “quality, innovative and affordable healthcare services” in the patient’s hometown. In addition to the new site in Newton Falls, ONE Health Ohio has facilities in Alliance and Youngstown, with three separate locations in Warren as well. Falls Family Care is open Monday through Friday from 8:30am to 5pm (Thursday hours are 9:30am to 6pm) and appointments can be made by calling (330) 872-2010.

The cast includes freshman Alex Kramer as Robin Hood and sophomore Leah VanHorn as Lady Marian. Juniors Cameron Crabtree (Prince John) and Nolan Morgenstern (Sheriff of Nottingham) scheme against Robin Hood, as senior Allyssa Swan (Lady-in-Waiting) rounds out the cast.

Due to a shortened school year and a demanding testing schedule, the Robin Hood cast has only had six weeks to put it together, but Lazanich knows they’ll be ready. She shared, “A lot of what happens on stage is a true reflection of them. There’s lots of student input in this performance.” Due to timing constraints, the cast will be unable to visit the other school buildings to invite students and generate interest in the upcoming performances. To invite students and families throughout the District, they’re working on a video to be distributed via social media and school newsletters. “The Somewhat True Tale of Robin Hood” runs on Friday, April 15th and Saturday, April 16th at 7 pm and on Sunday, April 17th at 2 pm.

Mantua twp. - After the Neighborhood Development Services, Inc., demolished an abandoned home next door, Deeanna and Thomas Barkett purchased the vacant lot, which was adjacent to their property, at Sheriffs sale in the fall of 2013. In January 2016, the Barketts were notified that an assessment of $9,000 — more than they paid for the property — was now owed on the property. In contacting the trustees, township solicitor, County Auditor, County Prosecutor, and the Land Bank, the Barketts were told the issue would be discussed at the next Land Bank meeting. According to Portage County Treasurer Brad Cromes, the tax lien/assessment that was applied to the Barkett’s property arose out of the Moving Ohio Forward program, a grant the Land Bank used beginning in 2012 to demolish blighted structures around Portage County. Funding for the program came from the federal government, directed by the Ohio Attorney General’s office. “It’s my

Mantua Township Resident’s Issue Resolvedunderstanding,” shared Mr. Cromes, “that at the time the funders preferred local partners like the Land Bank to recapture funds spent on demolitions so that they could be reapplied to future projects.”

According to Mr. Cromes, the Land Bank chose to capture the funds through use of a tax lien/assessment, to have been placed via the city, village, or township where the property was located, and repaid at the transfer of the property. In a few cases, like the Barkett’s, those liens were not placed or were placed well after the demolition activity had been conducted. There are three additional properties in the county, according to Mr. Cromes, that are in a similar position to the Barkett’s, where a sale occurred before the lien/assessment was applied.

At its most recent meeting, the Land Bank agreed to forgive its interest in the balance due on those four assessments. Now, each city, village or township that filed the lien/assessment must now file a withdrawal. Ms. Barkett was pleased to learn that the Mantua Township Trustees unanimously agreed to follow suit. Mr. Cromes remarked, “Our attorney is working with the Prosecutor’s Office to achieve that goal, and we are optimistic that work will be completed relatively quickly.”

At this point, there are 30 other properties where a demolition has occurred as a part of this program. As

yet, no assessment has been applied; fortunately, in these cases, the properties have not yet been transferred to a new owner. In those instances, the local community has an opportunity to apply the lien so that it can be repaid. According to Mr. Cromes, there are another 60 properties where the demolition work by the Land Bank and lien/assessment by the local government has been fully completed. Thus far, the Moving Ohio Forward program led to the demolition of 94 blighted structures around Portage County.

Going forward, states Mr. Cromes, “the Land Bank intends to manage all aspects of demolitions it conducts, including local funding, demolition contracting, and the application of any necessary liens/assessments to recoup costs.” He continued, “We will continue to work with our cities, villages and townships to identify structures and parcels that are in need of rehabilitation, and to convert those parcels to productive use for the benefit of our communities.”

Dave Vaughan, Executive Director of Neighborhood Development Services, Inc., shared that the Moving Ohio Forward funds, which were utilized to start the program, were administered by the State Attorney General’s Office. The program’s current funding is from a new fund -- the Hardest Hit Fund, which is administered by the Ohio

Garrettsville - Hiram Rotary ReportGarrettsville - Noses to the grindstone, eyes

on the snowy skies, the Garrettsville-Hiram Rotary Club got down to business at their meeting on April 4, 2016 at Cal’s II, Sky Plaza, Garrettsville. Here was their agenda:

This year’s Fit & Fun program will be likely having involvement of the Garrettsville YMCA, especially in regard to the nutrition program and pickleball. The Portage Park District may be weighing in with a Headwaters Trail walk. There will be prizes, courtesy of a grant from McDonald’s. Bigger and better is the goal!

April 10 is the date for the InterAct/Exchange Student get-together at Sky Lanes for bowling—and food; they’re teenagers. Hours will be from 1:00 to 4:00p.m. Food and prizes—a winning combo.

Happy Dollars went into the pot in celebration of a fine 4-Way Speech competition, a good Easter attendance at church activities, good business and a good life, an enjoyable college weekend, better grades, a good bridge construction, a great farewell for a centenarian.

The District Conference seems to have suffered a PR fail.

The Free Library Project is looking for a builder/constructor but it’s coming along and will probably be located on private property next to the Headwaters Trail, with the assistance of the Portage County District Library branch in Garrettsville.

Club-building is on the “to-do” list for all members. Special activities and recognition for local business persons—movers and shakers—are on the horizon. Young people, particularly, as well as former members will be encouraged to become part of the local programs. Invitations will be going out for special times and interests in Rotary. The 90th anniversary luncheon in June will be one of these occasions to showcase Rotary and what it can be for community involvement and progress.

It was on Christmas Eve 1915 when John V. McDowell first saw Garrettsville. He arrived by train, stepped out into 18 inches of snow in hopes of obtaining the position as Garrettsville school superintendent.

He went to the home of Fred Hart, who had resigned as the local school superintendent to take the position of County Superintendent. Mr. Hart was quite busy doing book work and Mr. McDowell, who very much wanted his position, pitched in to help. After lunch Mr. Hart decided to introduce him to the Board of Education members.

They first walked through the snow to the greenhouse where ‘Pop’ Templin was busy working on pre-Christmas orders. After introducing Mr. McDowell (according to a newspaper article), Mr. Templin stated “If you’re going to leave us the first time you get a better offer, I’ll be damned if I’ll vote for you.”

Next they went to Mrs. S. H. Bruce and she said she would make time if a board meeting was necessary.

Then on to Mrs. Mae Ryder who was helping out in the old Crane Brothers clothing store. Her employer promised her only a half an hour if a meeting was held.

Finally they were at ‘Doc’ Tidball’s dentist office. He had a patient in the chair, and planned to be busy all day. He told Mr. Hart if they wanted a board meeting in his waiting room it was all right.

That afternoon the board members assembled in the waiting room; ‘Doc’ opened the door between the rooms. Rapping one of his instruments on the arm of the dental chair, he called the meeting to order and proceeded to work on his patient during the meeting.

This is how John V. McDowell began his career in Garrettsville back on December 24, 1915.

Red Flags Training for School CounselorsWith one in five children experiencing a

diagnosable emotional or behavioral problem before they become adults, mental health is a critical factor in children’s development and their ability to learn.

Counselors from every Portage County school district attended a “Red Flags for Mental Health Education” training and will incorporate the school-based mental health education into their districts.

The course was taught by Penny Frese, PhD, founder and executive director of Red Flags National, a non-profit based in Hudson, Ohio. Frese emphasized that mental health is fundamental to overall health and that early intervention is essential to children’s health and development.

Mental health problems are a result of a combination of biological, psychological, and social factors. Like physical disorders, they are most successfully treated at the onset. “It’s important to note that Red Flags is not a crisis program,” explained Frese. “The goal of Red Flags is to encourage the development of sound mental health habits and enable quick intervention at the first warning signs of difficulty, just as we do for other illnesses.”

Red Flags offers a framework for comprehensive mental health education that includes an understanding of good emotional and behavior health, a recognition that mental health problems occur on a continuum, an ability to recognize early warning symptoms, and knowing when and where to ask for help.

The Red Flag framework consists of a curriculum for students, typically taught in the middle school,

information given to parents and staff every year, and adoption of a protocol for referring and accommodation of children in need for the school district.

The counselors who attended were enthusiastic that building a culture of mental health in their schools can be inexpensive, sustainable, easily achievable, and beneficial to students and staff alike.

“We are pleased that the school districts will adopt the framework into their schools,” said Joel Mowrey, PhD, executive director of the Mental Health & Recovery Board of Portage County. “Much of the stigma around mental health is due to a lack of understanding that physical and emotional/mental problems are both health problems. It is important to raise awareness and decrease stigma, so people seek help.”

Representatives from local agencies, Children’s Advantage, Coleman Professional Services, Family & Community Services, and Townhall II presented information about the services available.

The day-long training was organized by the Mental Health & Recovery Board of Portage County. Each school district was provided a tool-kit for the staff to use to implement Red Flags with funding from the Coleman Foundation’s Suicide Prevention Endowment. For more information about Red Flags, contact the Mental Health & Recovery Board at 330-673-1756.

School counselors from each district attended the Red Flags training organized by the Mental Health & Recovery Board of Portage County.

“In the book I’m reading, other characters call the main character the Sagehen. Why do you think they call her that?”

One of our patrons was enjoying “The Last Midwife” by Sandra Dallas, a work of historical fiction set in nineteenth-century Colorado. Gracy Brookens, the main character, is a midwife in a small mining town. Other characters sometimes refer to her as “the Sagehen.”

Our first guess was that it was akin to calling Gracy a mother hen or a mama bird in reference to her maternal nature. “Sagehen” is an informal word for the sage-grouse, a chicken-sized bird that calls the sagebrush of the American West its home. However, after doing more research, we found an interview with Sandra Dallas on the blog “Let Them Read Books” [http://bit.ly/1RCHXYQ] where she talks about what inspired her to write her novel. Her main inspiration was a poem called “In These Rude Airs” from Belle Turnbull’s book “The Tenmile Range.” Dallas met Turnbull in 1963 when the poet was an elderly lady living in a Colorado cabin, and remembers her as “a gentle creature” though her poetry had a hard edge to it. “In These Rude Airs” centers around another midwife called the Sagehen and Dallas created Gracy Brookens as a response, though she’s a much gentler character.

For curious readers, “The Tenmile Range” and “The Last Midwife” are both available for borrowing through CLEVNET.

HiraM – While it’s almost impossible for a sixth grader to travel the world, that’s exactly what 115 students from James A. Garfield Elementary School did at Hiram College’s World Fair.

The students spent the morning touring 11 different countries, including Australia, Afghanistan, Philippines and Japan, and listening to presentations from international and study abroad students. Afterwards they headed over to Hayden Auditorium to experience different cultures up close.

The show kicked off with Bhutanese dancing and was followed by Japanese students Sayuri Watanabe and Ryogo Suzuki singing the traditional Japanese folk song “Sakura.” Other performances included a soft-shoed Irish dance, an African drum ensemble and reading of the book “Hello Ocean” in Spanish titled “Hola Mar.”

The African drum ensemble engaged students who previously took Hiram College’s African Ensemble class. Hiram students invited two sixth graders to join them on stage as they taught them the song.

“The World Fair is a chance to travel the world while staying in the United States,” said Josiah Berry, member of the ensemble. “To quote St. Augustine, ‘The world is a book and those who do not travel only read a page.’”

Under the leadership of Kathy Maretka, director

So...I’m listening to a radio program called “Marketplace” and discovered an interesting idea from some economic guru—Michael Bloomburg or Warren Buffett or some such multimillionaire. Whoever this dude was, he said that he frequently followed the MUI—the Men’s Underwear Index(not to be confused with the Modern University of Information and Technology or the Multilingual User Interface)—when deciding the type and/or extent of his financial calculations.

It seems that no less an expert than Alan Greenspan, former head of the Federal Reserve Board, is reputed to have consulted these statistics to divine the direction of the nation’s economy. It is based on the premise that—whatever else is going on in the economy that makes the outlook gloomy-ish—when men start buying new underwear(or their wives or significant others buy it for them), it indicates an underlying confidence and willingness to engage in discretionary spending, thus buoying the economy. According to this website, men buy 3.4 pairs of underwear per year (Some of them are skipping that .4 percent, if the Designer Underwear site is to be believed—pretty skimpy!). Leading up to the recent recession, there was 3% increase in men buying single pairs and a 2% decline in purchases of multi-pacs. So there you go, proof in the register tapes! According to reports(didn’t say from whom) the sales of boxers and briefs have risen some $1.1 billion since 2009. Take that, CPI (Consumer Price Index); take that GDP (Gross Domestic Product)! Just ignore those who claim that men wear their unmentionables until they’re threadbare, not just unmentionable but nearly invisible( though other features may be all too much in evidence). New skivvies means new confidence for the future. But let’s not EVEN get into the topic of Designer Underwear; Victoria’s Secret is not the only game in town , ya know.

Other fashion-based indices are also swirling around out there, according to Business Insider on the internet. These include women’s hemlines, lipstick, dry cleaning, men’s ties. The oldest of these, the hemline theory was first proposed by George Taylor of the prestigious Wharton School of Business, in 1925. The gist of it is : the better the economy, the shorter the skirt. The rationale behind it was that when time were good, women wanted higher hemlines to show off expensive hosiery(We’re talking silk here, in 1925, not nylon pantyhose from L’eggs) and when things got tough, they wanted longer skirts to cover up cheap stockings. Periods cited as examples were the Jazz Age/Roaring Twenties—short, Great Depression—long, expansive ‘60’s—miniskirt, slowdown in ‘70’s & ‘80’s—longer, tech bubble in late nineties—short again...it goes on. Lipstick purchases suggest that women are trying to keep up their spirits in hard times, haircut timing stretches as paychecks decline, high heels are about looking spiffy when your budget is flat, dry clean only means only dry clean when you must, men wear a suit and tie during a setback in order to look employed(This does not apply in go-go

Fiscal Fashions

tech firms, probably); there’re a million of them.Since it’s tax time, keep in mind that the clothes

that you buy can only be viewed as a tax deduction if they are specifically required and worn as a condition of your employment and are not suitable for general/personal wear. So if you’re the UPS or Fedex delivery person, a nurse/doctor/ healthcare worker, someone in public safety—police, fire, emergency medical, USPS, or a professional athlete, your threads will be deductible. Musicians, actors and sports stars can claim items that can’t be worn for everyday use. I could probably deduct my three queen costumes—with crowns—but not the rain gear for track meets.

Remember, however, that you may deduct the fair market value of any clothing you donate to a qualified charity; what’re queen costumes going for nowadays, anyway?

On a completely different tack...I ran across some items on the internet that tickled my fancy, being just sort of “off the wall”. One was a tea infuser of silicon shaped like a shark (Looks like a grey reef shark--Carcharhinus amblyrhynchos—to me) Yes. The little guy grips the edge of your cup in his jaws and his tail, with perforations, hangs over into the hot water and stays there until your brew is the right strength and/or color. Who knew that tea—and infusers—could be such a big deal? You can get, in addition to the shark, a yellow ducky, a dive submarine, a whale, a sloth, a strawberry, a whale, a yellow submarine, Loch Nessie, a manatea and the Tea-Tanic. There are people out there with WAY too much time on their hands. Here’s what else you can find:

Emergency beard guards...which poses the question, what constitutes an emergency for a beard? You can get a Holy Toast bread stamp which enables you to create an instant icon in a kitchen appliance. A Holstein oven mitt, a “Love the Cow” balloon (both from Simply Bovine), pink flamingo picnic tablecloth weights (must-have for summer dining), a corkscrew shaped like a bluebird, a veggie peeler like a toucan, a tape dispenser like an orange-and-yellow snail...and that’s just skimming the more rational items. Virtually all of these will make their final appearance on some shelf at GoodWill or in heaps of boxes at estate sales where people will wander around saying, “Shirley, what do you suppose all of this was for? I heard they were kind of ga-ga before they left for the home.” I’m pretty sure that’s what will happen to my stuff.

Maybe it already has.

The Garrettsville Lions Club U16 soccer team (made up of 8th, 9th and 10th graders) just concluded their very successful indoor season at the Tallmadge Rec Center in the high school division. They were only defeated once in the 1st session of 10 games as they lost the 2nd game to Southeast (mostly seniors). The Lions were leading until late in the game when senior Brandon McCullough scored three straight goals to give Southeast a comeback win. (Brandon McCullough had scored three goals on Senior Night at Garfield to give Southeast a 3 to 0 win during the high school regular season). The Lions went on to win the last eight games of the session outscoring their opponents 61 to 28. They defeated teams from Akron Ellet, Akron Manchester, Cuyahoga Falls, Field, Kent, Rootstown, Stow, Springfield, and Tallmadge. Garfield sophomore Zach Gorby led the offense scor-ing in every game with multiple goals in seven of the 10 games. Crestwood freshman Landon Little and sophomores Caleb Gula and Frank Fugman scored 12, 7 and 5 goals respectively. Rootstown freshman Isaiah Sweizer scored 10 goals, 8th grader Joe Golgosky and

15 year old Art Suphakrit, both from Garfield scored 5 goals each during the 1st session.

The 2nd session started out similar to the first, win-ning the first game before playing Southeast again. The Lions were leading 3 to 2 with five minutes left in the game and had held Brandon McCullough scoreless when Deja-vu struck again (3rd time in a row) as he scored the final three goals of the game to give them a 5 to 3 win. After another win, the Lions ran into a Kent Rough Riders Red team who would only be their third loss in the 20 games. Kent Red (all upper classmen) finished with 20 wins and 0 losses, but the Lions defeated the other Kent Rough Riders team twice (once each session). The Lions went on to win their last six games scoring 68 goals and giving up 30. The 2nd session they defeated teams from Akron Manchester, Coventry, Cuyahoga Falls, Field, Hudson, Kent, Rootstown and Tallmadge. Zach Gorby once again led the offense, scoring in nine out of 10 games with another seven out of 10 multiple goal games during the 2nd session. Caleb Gula added 11 goals, Isaiah Sweizer 10, Landon Little 7 and Frank Fugman, Art Suphakrit and Joe Golgosky each scored 5 goals again.

In the two sessions Zach Gorby totaled 51 goals and 55 assists scoring in 19 out of the 20 games and had 14 multiple goal games. Isaiah Sweizer finished with 20 goals, Landon Little had 19, Caleb Gula 18 and Art Su-phakrit, Frank Fugman and Joe Golgosky had 10 goals each. Everyone on the team scored during the season including new soccer player and 2nd session goalie Evan Peters a sophomore from Garfield (Rootstown’s fresh-man Dino Sorboro played goalie for the first session). The defense was anchored by Garfield sophomores John Lininger, Mason Mayoros, Andrew Morrissey (Andrew supported the defense while scoring 5 goals on the season) and freshman Chad Angermeier. Also playing defense the majority of the time were three other freshman Jar-rod Slechta (Crestwood), Bryan Zalamea (Rootstown) and Tyler Bisson (Ravenna). One of the most impressive stats was Garfield’s Joe Golgosky scoring in seven games in a row, including against Southeast and Kent Red and he’s only an 8th grader!

In the first session there were 16 area high school teams and 14 teams in the second session. Overall the Lions beat 12 different high school teams, and five teams twice… which was an amazing accomplishment since most of the teams had all 17 and 18 year olds, while the Garrettsville Lions Club team was made up of 13, 14 and 15 year olds to start the season (some have since turned 16).

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

Pictured above are this week’s James A Garfield High School “All Awesome All The Time” Students of the Week: (Left to Right) Austin Metz, Austin Covey, Nate Rutherford

Garrettsville - For a book and plot line that had about as much substance and gravity as a bubble bath or a flapper girl’s champagne, it was a delightful evening of entertainment showcasing talent in every direction. The choreography was outstanding and outstandingly performed—who knew they could tap dance? The scenery and the lighting were minimal but evocatively well done...the Art Deco skyscraper window was great and so were the Hotel Priscilla and the New York skyline. The energy lit up the stage in every scene. If the cast bios in the program are any measure, they’re all just full of energy all of the time. Way to channel it, gang!

The characters all had, um, character and could be heard across the footlights (if there had been any). The jokes went over well. The instrumental ensemble was excellent under Mr. Cebulla’s direction. The stage crew had scene changes moving right along—not an easy task. Great cast, from the pairs of almost-star-crossed lovers to the evil landlady and the wealth stepmamma/torchsinger all the way through the ensemble singers and dancers.. “Ah, Sweet Mystery of Life” was amazing.

Take a bow, Mr. Logan.True love triumphed, the white slavers were foiled...

what more could an audience want?

Congrats to the cast & crew of “Thoroughly Modern Millie”!
