UMMER! …with an exclamation
point, or two, is like a piñata
that explodes and scatters treats
all over. There will be picnics,
baseball games, concerts and reunions
on many of our calendars. Some of us
will be playing golf, tennis or pickleball,
or enjoying bike rides or walks in our
neighborhoods. It just feels good to get
outside and feel the warm air.
Can you smell those French fries
already? It’s Cortland Street Fair time!
June 16, 17 and 18. Opening ceremonies
with local scouts are on June 16, 6 p.m.
followed by the Little Miss Cortland and
the Miss Cortland Contests. Sorry, but
information on the girls in these contests
was not available before this issue went
to press. Lots of food, games, music
on all days and an ice cream sandwich
eating contest (on Friday). The parade
is Saturday, starting at 6 p.m. This event
is sponsored by the Cortland Lions Club
who uses the proceeds to help children
in Lakeview, Mecca and Champion
communities and schools.
After the Street Fair is Father’s Day,
June 19. It is also strawberry picking
season. Is there anything quite as tasty
as a red sun-ripened local strawberry? A
fresh strawberry pie is THE number one
Lane Father’s Day tradition.. Remember
to honor the dads in your and your
children’s lives. I give thanks every day for
my dad and my husband for their love and
influence in our family’s life. The day may
not be as “schmaltzy” as Mother’s Day,
but the feeling is the same.
If you love music, you will be thrilled
with the number of concerts this summer.
You will LOVE, the 50th anniversary
celebration of the Warren Philharmonic
Orchestra! It starts on Friday, June 17
and ends with a humongous concert on
Sunday June 19.
Summer shows with free concerts
begin at the Mosquito Marina on July 2.
They are sponsored by local businesses,
and all except two concerts August 13 and
August 20 are free. See our calendar and
an article page 12.
Our own Cortland Community Band
has rehearsed all winter for its summer
concerts. The music will have your toes
tapping and hands clapping. The band
plays most concerts on Wednesdays. In
Cortland their concerts are at Lake Vista,
June 22, 7 p.m. and July 20, 6 p.m.at the
Family Garden Fair/Strawberry Social
at the Trumbull County Ag Center. The
band has over 60 members and has
been playing for 33 years. Other area
concerts, are listed in our calendar.
Next on the event calendar is
Independence Day, July 4th. There will

celebration will conclude with a pops
concert by the Warren Philharmonic
Orchestra at the historic First Presbyterian
Church, 256 Mahoning Ave. NW, in
downtown Warren. The Joe Augustine

“I urge all Valley residents to join the

celebrate our half-century achievement,”
Bodor said. “The Orchestra and its related
programs can only exist with the support
of our community. This celebration is
recognition of our supporters, our past
success and our commitment to the next
50 years.”

Zoning Code Violations
City employees are continually looking for zoning code violations. However,
the City primarily relies on complaint based notification to initiate inspection and
enforcement of the zoning code. The citizens of Cortland serve as zoning inspectors
and can notify the City of suspected zoning violations.
What type of activity does the Zoning Code regulate?
In general, the zoning code regulates the location of structures on property, the
maintenance of the yard area, parking of cars and length of grass. Specific activities
that are regulated can be found in the text of the zoning code.
How to get a copy of the Zoning Code?
1. Request a copy at City Hall – 400 N High Street
2. Visit the City’s website www.cityofcortland.org
• Select Codified Ordinances under “Government”
• Zoning Ordinances are found in Parts Eleven and Thirteen
How can I file a written complaint?
1. Email to planningandzoning@cityofcortland.org
2. Drop off or mail written complaint to City Hall, 400 N. High Street
3. Fax to 330-637-4778
What to include in the written complaint:
1. Location address and property owner’s name (if known)
2. Suspected violation – specifically state what portion of the property/
structure is violating a city ordinance. Provide enough information
so that an investigation into the violation can resolve your concern.
3. Provide your name, address, and contact numbers so additional information
can be obtained and status updates can be provided. Complaints
can be made anonymously but may hinder enforcement of the
violation.
2016 Mosquito Spraying
7:00 p.m. to Midnight
June 23
July 7
July 21
August 4
September 1
August 18
For effective mosquito control, it must not be raining, the winds need to be
between 5 to 10 miles per hour and the temperature above 50 degrees. If the proper
conditions are not present, the spraying will be cancelled and a make-up date will
be scheduled the following evening.
What Can I Do to Reduce the Number of Mosquitoes in and Around My Home?
The most important step is to eliminate potential breeding habitats for
mosquitoes. Get rid of any standing water around the home, including water in
potted plant dishes, garbage cans, old tires, gutters, ditches, wheelbarrows, bird
baths, hollow trees, and wading pools. Any standing water should be drained,
including abandoned or unused swimming pools. Mosquitoes can breed in any
puddle that lasts more than 4 days. Make sure windows and screen doors are “bug
tight.” Replace outdoor lights with yellow “bug” lights. More information on our
Mosquito Control Program can be found on our city website – www.cityofcortland.

Garden Walk
cancelled
The Garden Walk planned by the
Cortland Bazetta Historical Society for
June 25 has been cancelled. Three gardens
had been confirmed, but the group felt
that another garden or two would have
made the walk more worth the time and
effort. “We had three beautiful gardens,
and saw several more, but couldn’t talk
the owners into sharing them,” said
organizer Louise List. Disappointed, the
society decided to cancel. However, they
are hoping to plan a Christmas Walk this
year. If you are interested in sharing your
holiday decorated home, please contact
Sally at 330-638-2330. This has always
been a great event for Cortland.
The giant flag has been hung in
the Ridge Road Cargo Building at the
Youngstown-Warren Regional Airport
in preparation for the 6th annual
American Red Cross Acts of Courage
event to be held on Tuesday, June 14.
Each year the American Red
Cross celebrates the heroism of our
friends and neighbors who, without
thought to their own safety, act in an
emergency to help another. The 2016
award winners represent nine stories
of heroism. These individuals acted
quickly to save a life.
The Board of Directors of the
American Red Cross is proud to
announce the selection of Mercy
Health and Mercy Health Foundation
as the 2016 recipient of the Spirit of
the Red Cross Award. This award
is presented annually to those who
best exemplify leadership in our
community, compassion for people and
dedication to enriching our community
through their work.
This annual celebration of heroes on
Flag Day is a patriotic tribute to living in
the “land of the free and the home of the
brave.” The parade of heroes begins at
6:30 p.m. followed by dinner.
Greg Greenwood will serve as the
master of ceremonies. According to
Board Chair David Dobstaff this annual
event raises dollars that will provide
shelter, food and clothing to people in
our community who have suffered a
home fire.
Tickets are $75 per person with a
limited number still available. For more
information contact the American Red
Cross at 330-392-2551. The Lake to River
Chapter footprint includes Ashtabula,
Trumbull, Mahoning, Columbiana and
Jefferson counties.

Class of 1941 holds reunion
By Sally Lane
Life can be like a circle.
Seniors in high school become
graduates with their life ahead
of them. Years later, they
become seniors again, but as in
“senior citizens” with a lifetime
of memories behind them.
However, the years fall away
at class reunions as members
greet each other and reminisce.
Four of the five remaining
members of the Cortland High School Class of 1941 met recently at the Olive Garden
for their 75th reunion. One member, the last female member of the class, Mary Ensign,
did not attend. The attendees were Jim McNaughton, Wallace King, Bill Harned and
Nate Pestalozzi. Roger Coe, who was also a member of the class until his senior year
when his father, band director at Howland, recruited him for Howland’s band for
his senior year, attended.
There was plenty of laughter, teasing and memories shared as these five men
talked about their lives when they were young seniors. In May of 1941, when they
graduated, the United States was preparing for World War II. The class included 16
boys and 16 girls, with a boy and girl sharing the post of class president. All 16 boys
enlisted or were drafted into the military. All 16 fought, and all returned, which
was amazing. Only Wallace King, who became an aviation cadet in 1942, and then
a fighter pilot, spent time as a POW before returning home. “I flew 75 missions and
was shot down on my last one,” said King. He was then a POW in Berlin, Germany,
for a time. Many of the boys in the class remember going together to sign up for the
military. “It was March 16,” said Nate Pestalozzi.
Hometown memories paint a picture of Cortland in 1941. There was no Mosquito
Lake. Railroad cars traveling through town were the main source of iron and coal for
Republic Steel. Richards Mill, one of the main employers in Cortland, stood across
from the train depot on the corner of Mecca Street and West Main, and shipped flour
all over the eastern United States.
The school did not have a football team at that time, but there were baseball and
basketball teams. Bill Harned remembered that in earlier days, football was played
in Tom Boyer’s field on East Main Street or where Huntington Bank is now at the
corner of Fowler and South High Street.
After the war, class members spread out around the country. Three of the men
live in Cortland, although they didn’t always live in their hometown after the war.
Bill Harned stayed in town, working as a carpenter in construction, at Richards Mill
and as the Cortland Fire Chief. He also operated the skating rink from 1953 to 1963.
Nate Pestalozzi, who worked in construction and the energy industry in California,
Texas, Florida and Cortland, lives in Cortland. Jim McNaughton, who was the male
president of the Class of 1941 (the female president was the late Gertrude Stauffer),
went to college, worked at Republic Steel and Packard Electric. Wallace King became
a Certified Public Accountant, and part of the firm Hill Barth & King. He and his wife
live in New Wilmington, Pennsylvania.
Now, in 2016, the 75th class reunion was quite the occasion. There was laughter
and sharing of many memories. Bill Harned brought pictures of the class when
they were in second grade, seventh grade and as seniors. There were photos taken.
Several shared photos on iPads and cellphones. Email addresses were exchanged.
This was one lively, techie, upbeat group of seniors! They have met every five years
since the end of World War II. It was obvious why this generation is known as the
Greatest Generation, and our Cortland group is really special.
Pictured at the 1941 Class reunion at Olive Garden Restaurant are (seated)
Nate Pestalozzi, Jim McNaughton and Roger Coe; (standing) Wallace King and Bill
Harned.

Some happenings in Cortland
The Cortland Lion’s Club Street
Fair is set for this month. The Fair will
be from Thursday, June 16 through
Saturday, June 18. West Main Street
from Park Avenue to Erie Street will
be blocked off for the event, mostly
during the nights from 6 p.m. to
midnight and will be open for travel
during the day. The parade will be on
Saturday and will start at 6 p.m. The
course for the parade is as follows:
start at Fowler Street and head north
on South High Street, turn down West
Main Street and then turn onto Grove
Drive, turn on Erie Street and back up
West Main Street and turn on Park
Avenue where it will end at Market
Street.
There will be parking restrictions
for residents on West Main Street so
please make arrangements to park
elsewhere from Wednesday night
(June 15) through Saturday night.
Also, we will shut down state Route 5
for the parade about 15 minutes before
its scheduled to start at 6 p.m. and
divert traffic down state Route 46 and
along the lake using McCleary-Jacoby
Road to Warren-Meadville Road. If
you need to get kids and vehicles to
the high school for the parade, please
leave a bit early as traffic can get quite
congested.
The Shepherd’s Hill family
garage sale event has come and gone
with minimal problems. We are still
tweaking the “no parking” signs but
it seemed to work much better than it
has in the past. We found some hot
spots when the sale started and got
signs to those areas.
The Cortland Police Department
has just been awarded a $30,000 grant
designed to make structural changes
to the station. We were one of 58
entities in Ohio that received part of
the Local Government Safety Capital
Grant Fund administered by the Ohio
Developmental Services Agency.
This money is being used to upgrade
our department and create a formal
holding cell for prisoners as well as
increase room sizes to handle filing
and computer systems. Our building
is 30 years old and as we use it every
hour of every day, it is in dire need of
an upgrade. This grant allows us to
make those necessary changes without
going back to the taxpayer.
The Splash Pad at Pearl Park is up
and running, noon – 6 p.m. The park
is located near the old Elementary
School around the Pearl Street and
Park Avenue area. New restroom
facilities, lighting and fencing are all
in the works for this park. Our other
parks recently received a good cleanup to get ready for the spring/summer
season. Many citizens from business,
civic groups and the Lakeview School
District showed up on May 7 to spruce
up Willow, Rotary and Point Parks
along with Casterline Cemetery.
School is out so please drive
carefully in the residential areas and
don’t forget to lock up your vehicles
and remove any valuables if they are
left outside overnight. If you have any
questions, please feel free to contact
me at 330-638-1000 or tandrews@
cityofcortland.org.

By Chief David Rea, Cortland Fire Department
As the weather turns nice and the summer approaches, we would like to remind you of
some safety tips while you enjoy this time of the year. Most of these you may already know,
so let this serve as a refresher.
Fireworks Safety
• Fireworks can result in severe burns, blindness, scars, and even death.
• Fireworks that are often thought to be safe, such as sparklers, can reach temperatures
above 1000 degrees Fahrenheit, and can burn users and bystanders.
• Families should attend community fireworks displays run by professionals rather
than using fireworks at home.
Bug Safety
• If possible, eliminate stagnant water, such as in bird baths or fish ponds, in your
yard. Check that your window screens are tightly fitted and repair any holes to
keep bugs out of the house.
• To remove a visible stinger from skin, gently back it out by scraping it with a credit
card or your fingernail.
• Combination sunscreen/insect repellent products should be avoided because
sunscreen needs to be reapplied every two hours, but the insect repellent should
not be reapplied.
• Use insect repellents containing DEET when needed to prevent insect-related
diseases. Ticks can transmit Lyme disease, and mosquitoes can transmit West Nile,
Zika virus, Chikungunya virus and other viruses.
• The current AAP and CDC recommendation for children older than 2 months of
age is to use 10% to 30% DEET. DEET should not be used on children younger than
2 months of age.
Bicycle, Skateboard, Scooter, In-Line Skating and All-Terrain Vehicles
A helmet protects your child from serious injury, and should always be worn. And remember,
wearing a helmet at all times helps children develop the helmet habit.
• Your need to wear a helmet on every time, no matter how short or how close to
home. Many injuries happen in driveways, on sidewalks, and on bike paths, not
just on streets. Children learn best by observing you. Set the example: Whenever
you ride, put on your helmet.
• When purchasing a helmet, look for a label or sticker that says the helmet meets the
CPSC safety standard.
• A helmet should be worn so that it is level on the head and covers the forehead, not
tipped forward or backwards. The strap should be securely fastened with about 2
fingers able to fit between chin and strap. The helmet should be snug on the head,
but not overly tight. Skin should move with the helmet when moved side to side. If
needed, the helmet’s sizing pads can help improve the fit.
• Children who are too young to have a driver’s license should not be allowed to
operate or ride off-road vehicles. Children are involved in about 30 percent of all
ATV-related deaths and emergency room-treated injuries.
• Don’t ride double. Passengers are frequently injured when riding ATVs. Most
ATVs are designed to carry only one person: the driver. Passengers can make ATVs
unstable and difficult to control.
• All ATV riders should take a hands-on safety training course.
• Flags, reflectors and lights should be used to make vehicles more visible.
• Drivers of recreational vehicles should not drive while under the influence of
alcohol, drugs or even some prescription medicines. Parents should set an example
for their children in this regard.
• Young drivers should be discouraged from on-road riding of any 2-wheeled
motorized cycle, even when they are able to be licensed to do so, because they are
inherently more dangerous than passenger cars.
Lawn Mower Safety
• Only use a mower with a control that stops the mower blade from moving if the
handle is let go.
• Children younger than 16 years should not be allowed to use ride-on mowers.
Children younger than 12 years should not use walk-behind mowers.
• Make sure that sturdy shoes are worn while mowing.
• Have anyone who uses a mower wear hearing and eye protection.
• Do not pull the mower backward or mow in reverse unless absolutely necessary,
and carefully look for children behind you when you mow in reverse.
• Always turn off the mower and wait for the blades to stop completely before
removing the grass catcher, unclogging the discharge chute, or crossing gravel
paths, roads, or other areas.
• Do not allow children to ride as passengers on ride-on mowers.
• Keep children out of the yard while mowing.
• Drive up and down slopes, not across to prevent mower rollover.
• Keep guards, shields, switches, and safety devices in proper working order at all
times.
• If children must be in the vicinity of running lawnmowers, they should wear
polycarbonate protective eye wear at all times.
Swimming and Pool Safety
• Never swim alone.
• Keep all gates and ladders secured when not in use.
• Reapply sun screen as often. Follow manufactures recommendation.
• Limit time in the sun, especially during the peak hours of 10:00 am – 3:00 pm when
UV rays (the most damaging kind!) are at their highest
• Always use sunscreen with a minimum SPF of 30
• Protect your skin and eyes from the sun’s damaging rays - wear protective clothing
and sunglasses.
Outdoor Cooking and Campfires
• Never grill on balconies or porches.
• Follow all local open burning laws and assure for proper distances from buildings
and other combustible materials.
• Always have a method of extinguishing the fire.
• Heed high wind warning and avoid having open fires on those days.
• Never use accelerants to start any fire.
I hope these tip helped and that you also learned something new. On behalf of all of the
employees of Cortland Fire Department we hope you stay safe and have a great summer.

Marvel Joan Recklies Como
Born on March 15, 1925 in Cortland, Ohio
Died on May 3, 2016 in Anaheim, California
Joan was married to John (Johnnie) Nick
Como for 47 years until he passed away in 1990.
Joan is survived by her son, Philip and his wife,
Karen, her sister, Judy Robertson and her husband,
Bob, niece Kati and her daughter Annika, nephew
Levi and his wife Kelly and their son Levi, Jr. Joan
is also survived by three step-grandchildren, nine
great step-grandchildren, and two great-great
step-grandchildren.
Joan grew up in Cortland, Ohio, and was a
proud member of the all- girls Fiddette Marching
Band in her high school where she played the
clarinet. She always had fond memories of her
childhood in the Cortland area.
Upon graduation from high school, Joan
moved to Los Angeles to pursue her education
in elementary education, graduating with a Bachelors of Arts degree from Occidental
College in 1947. At Occidental she was active in the choir and treasured the life-long
friendships she made while in college. Joan remained an active financial supporter of
Occidental College throughout her life.
Joan moved to northern California after graduation from college and taught
third and fourth grades for 17 years. She was a Cub Scout Den mother, active in the
Republican Women’s Club, Teachers Association and a member of the Pittsburg and
Concord Methodist Churches, where she sang in the choir. After her husband passed
away she volunteered for Kaiser Hospice for 13 years.
Johnnie and Joan loved to travel and took many trips driving across the United
States and visiting family and many of the beautiful national parks. They also visited
Japan and took an extensive trip European trip with their son.
Joan loved nature, especially birds, and enjoyed tracking and recording the
sightings of the various birds she saw during her many trips and vacations and in her
beautiful yard in Concord where she resided for 56 years.
In 2013, Joan chose to be closer to her son and daughter-in-law and moved to
Walnut Village in Anaheim, California. After she suffered a fall in early 2015, Joan’s
health declined. She received wonderful, loving, care from the Walnut Village staff and
in-home care givers from First Lights. Joan loved her frequent visits with her son and
daughter-in-law until her death.
She will be remembered for her love of family and dedication to friends and for
the care she gave to others. Joan’s favorite Bible passage was Matthew: 25:13 which
was inscribed on a stain-glass window she and her husband donated to the Concord
Methodist Church, “Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour.”

The signs of summer
At our home, it was easy to tell
summer was around the corner. When
there was a long spell of warm weather,
there were omens more reliable than the
calendar from the local feedstore. For
beginners, the parlor stove was cleaned
and its ashes were hauled to the garden.
The stovepipe was carefully taken out to
the driveway and thumped of the black
soot, then wrapped in newspaper and
stored in the shed until needed in the fall.
The icebox was brought into the kitchen
from the back porch and the diamondshaped card was hung in the kitchen
window to let the iceman know if we
wanted 50 or 75 pounds of ice. Mama had
an old dishpan to put under the icebox
to catch the melting ice. If you didn’t
remember to empty the pan daily, the
kitchen floor got another good wash!
There were always plenty of chores
to keep you busy during the day. Hoeing
the garden was a weekly job and when
the corn was up to about four inches, you
pulled everything over three sprouts out
of the hills.
There was time to play in the summer
also, like playing store on the big back
porch with the neighborhood kids, or
searching for another penny to buy an
ice cream cone from the Ice Cream Man.
There were golden hours playing house
under the old oak tree, and dressing the
dogs and cats as children. Sometimes they
would stay and cooperate, other times they
would take off to the barn. There were
carefree moments of walking barefoot in
the back pasture early in the morning,
going after the cows to be milked. The
cows were usually eager to come into the
barn to be relieved of their heavy bags of
milk. There was always a morning when
you accidentally stepped into a “cow pie”.
Then you needed to detour to the creek to
get the gooey stuff out of your toes.
Before going out in the morning to
the pasture you would stop in the kitchen,
slice a thick piece of homemade bread,
and slather some homemade apple butter
on top to tide you over until your chores
were done in the barn. Then everyone
gathered in the kitchen for breakfast. I
can still picture Mama at the cook stove
with an open burner holding a fry pan
full of eggs. Gently she spooned fat from
the bacon over the bright yellow and
white eggs. Whoever heard of cholesterol
when we were growing up? Papa and
the boys ate their share of bacon and eggs
with potatoes on the side after the good
morning workout with the “girls”, as
Papa called his cows.
After breakfast, Mama had little jobs
that needed to be done, like fixing the
screen door so it wouldn’t slam every time
someone went in or out. The rest of the
morning, the men folks went to the fields
to plow or plant corn. The youngest rode
on Big Charlie, our horse, until he would
shake his hide and tail to chase away the
horse flies. You had to grip hard on the
collar around his neck or you would fall
off. That got a little boring, and hard
on the backside. Then it was noontime
and we rang the old dinner bell so Papa
and the boys in the field would hear and
know it was time to come in for lunch and
a rest.
On rare occasions when we had
extra eggs and cream to make butter,
Mama would take them to the grocery
store to trade them for kitchen supplies.
Sometimes we could go into town with her
and if we had been on our best behavior,
we were rewarded with gumdrops or a
licorice stick.
To enjoy summer today as we did
as a child, we need to kick off our shoes
and walk in the cool green grass even if
we don’t have a pasture anymore. Cut
a fresh bouquet of flowers to enjoy on
the kitchen table. Enjoy just sitting on
the porch in the evening watching the
fireflies, because time is like the ice,
melting in that old wooden icebox – it
slowly melts away and is gone.

Create memorable moments this summer –
design an outdoor room for all to enjoy
By Melinda Myers
I have never been fond of petunias. That is putting it rather mildly. I started
to garden/landscape when I was in my
late 20s and in our first house. It had
the usual evergreen yews for shrubs
and I planted red geraniums and white
alyssum, but never petunias. They had
a bad reputation! No matter how pretty when first
planted, petunias became messy by midsummer. Since the blooms are usually
terminal, the problem was excessively
bare stems to the flower. A remedy
was to take a long stem and about half
way roll it gently between your fingers,
just to squeeze and soften the tissue. Then bend it gently backwards so the
upper part is now pointing to the pot
or container. This action is to prevent
a hormone produced in the growing
tip from reaching the side buds and
stop their bloom. Now the side shoots
will develop and form a more compact
plant. Geez, I didn’t have time for that.
Well that was then, and petunias
have come a long, long way. I recently
walked into a local garden center
and was really impressed with the
display of white Wave petunias. The
exceptionally large funnel shaped
blooms were really appealing and as
I gazed around, the red and yellow
Waves looked darn good too.
There are lots of named varieties of
petunias, but they all fall into four main
categories based on growth habit and
flower size. Some are better planted in
containers with the rest used as garden
plants. Grandiflora types are large
flowered, single and double forms,
some cascade, but most are upright
plants that can develop into large
mounds of flowers 12 to 15 inches tall. Multiflora petunias are smaller and
more compact, but can have a large
number of blooms at one time. They
are usually massed in the garden to
produce splashes of color. Milliflora
petunias are miniatures that produce
an abundance of perfect inch, to inch
and a half diameter flowers perfect as
edging plants and in mixed containers. Groundcover petunias spread
rapidly over on growing season,
provided they are watered and
fertilized frequently. They can
scramble down a hillside or over a
retaining wall, and are wonderful in
hanging baskets and window boxes
TMM to host golf
ball drop
An “Inaugural Golf Ball Drop”
sponsored by Trumbull Mobile Meals
will be held July 16 at Ernie Hall Aviation
Museum, 4033 North River Road, Warren,
starting at noon. You can purchase a
golf ball at Trumbull Mobile Meals,
323 East Market St., Warren, for $10, or
contact the TMM office 330-394-2538 or
email tmmceo@aol.com for purchase
information. The day of the event all sold
golf balls will be taken up into an airplane
and dropped onto a target. The closest
three balls will win a percentage of the
balls purchased. Rain dates are July 30
and August 13.
where they can grow two or three
feet in one season. The spreading or
ground cover types, include the Wave
petunias, the Supertunia, Cascadia and
Surfinia series, none of which need
deadheading and they can be used
as garden plants, ground covers or
trailing in containers. No wonder they
are so popular. Calibrachoa or Million
Bells may look like petunias, but they
are an entirely different species.
The care of petunias includes
regular watering and lots of sunlight
for the most flowers. As they are
heavy feeders, a weekly feeding with
a water soluble fertilizer designed for
blooming plants will ensure a long
season of beautiful blooms. They are
tolerant of most soils as long as it is
well drained. Well grown petunias provide color
from early summer to fall. The fragrant
funnel shaped flower blooms in many,
many colors and can be picoted, striped
or dark-veined. They have certainly
come along way, and me too. Happy gardening!

No matter your budget, space or
gardening experience, you can design
an outdoor entertainment area for you,
your family and friends to enjoy.
Start by gathering ideas from
magazines, the internet and websites
like Gardener’s Supply Company for
examples of outdoor garden spaces.
Next, select an area that is
convenient and suitable for your
outdoor entertaining. Define the space
using outdoor rugs and furniture or tall
planters (gardeners.com) to serve as the
walls for your garden room. A bistro
set and a couple of chairs makes for
an intimate space on a balcony. Those
with more room may want to include an
outdoor wicker and teak dining set. Fill
the planters with ornamental grasses,
papyrus, cannas and other flowering
plants to create a living screen.
Add a splash of color and flavor
to the space by growing herbs and
vegetables combined with flowers in
these and additional planters in your
garden space. Include ingredients for
your favorite drinks, appetizers and
meals. Your guests will enjoy plucking
a few mint leaves for their iced tea or
mojito, harvesting fresh greens from a
Salad Garden Bar and dressing up the
meal with a few pesticide-free edible
flowers like nasturtiums, calendula and
daylilies.
Busy gardeners and those that
travel may want to try self-watering
pots. These containers have built-in
water reservoirs to provide a constant
flow of water to the plants. This means
you need to water less often, while
still enjoying healthy and productive
plants.
Add some height and focal points
with topiaries. Purchase a sculpted
evergreen or train vines up a twist
topiary frame to create a bit of living art.
And don’t forget to add some garden
art and statuary. Extend your enjoyment with
outdoor lighting. A few votive candles
in old punch cups are perfect for
intimate gatherings in small spaces.
Add a bit more illumination with the
help of solar illuminated planters, solar
deck lights, post caps, and solar cubes
and spheres. No buried electric lines
or extension cords needed. Use these
lights to lead you down the path to your
garden space or brighten the space for
an evening of fun.
So get busy creating the garden
room of your dreams. Once you get
started, you will be looking for more
opportunities for that quiet getaway,
outdoor kitchen and more ways to
enjoy your garden.

Door to Door-The Magnificent, Maddening, Mysterious World of Transportation by Edward Humes
Many years ago when one shopped
for food, clothing, or household goods
it involved patronizing (walking to)
the neighborhood grocer, butcher, or
hardware store and making an occasional
and exciting trip “downtown” to look
for new clothes or shoes and, in very
rare cases, new furniture. Shopping was
leisurely and done only when there were
things that we really needed. Most items
were made or grown in this country and
we settled for what was available.
How the world has changed! Now we
press a key on our computer and an item,
made most anywhere else in the world,
will soon be on its way to our home. We
expect things to be there when we want
them and we usually don’t care where
they are grown or made, only that they are
reasonably priced and fit our needs, either
real or perceived.
In this book, the Pulitzer Prize-winning
author takes us through the process of
moving ourselves and our stuff. He
details the epic amount of transportation
miles embedded in everything we eat,
buy, wear, and touch. His description
of the massive ports of Los Angeles and
Long Beach, Calif. are fascinating as is the
process of bringing in enormous container
ships around the clock from the Far East.
Building more and more freeway lanes in
these areas does not solve the immense
backlog of traffic that is generated as trucks
are loaded with the 200 million items that
arrive daily.
He also explores in detail the
automobile tragedies that occur each
hour of the day and new efficiencies
developing daily in the transportation
industry. Obviously Mr. Humes has
done his research as indicated by the 25
pages of footnotes-not necessary to read
but they are fascinating! Those who take
the computer age for granted will have
their eyes opened as to the transportation
process of today’s world and those like
me who are still one foot in eons past will
be dumbfounded. If nothing else, Door to
Door is a great discussion starter.
Beautiful Birds of the diverse
Mosquito Lake area
The Bristol Public Library will be
hosting “Beautiful Birds of the Diverse
Mosquito Lake Area” on Wednesday,
June 29 at 6:30 p.m. Larry Richardson
will be presenting a slide show featuring
the images of world class photographer
Brian Zwiebel.
Mosquito Lake, Mosquito Creek
and the Grand River Wildlife areas
provide the setting for over 250 species
of birds. This reflects the biodiversity of
our region and the strategic importance
for migration in spring and fall. Selected
species, both common and special, will
showcase the majesty of life in just a 15
mile radius.
Registration is required due to
limited space. Reserve your spot today
by contacting the circulation desk at 330889-3651.
C ortland N ews - J une 11, 2016 - F aith
History of Bazetta Christian Church
in 1992 was paid in six years.
The ladies of the congregation
designed and made the beautiful banners
that hang in the sanctuary. They are
a topic of conversation with visitors
and members. This also was a year of
reflection and gratitude to the Christians
who formed our church here at “Klondike
Corners.” We have been blessed with
many pastors, associate pastors, interim
pastors and congregational leaders.
We are grateful for three congregants
that have become pastors. They are our
“Timothy’s”: Don Barnes, John O’Hara
and Randy McCafferty.
The structure is larger with many
changes. These include a gathering
space, pipe organ, patio, etc. Our family
has also grown but we are still the same
in our love for our church.
Pastor Paul Leone and wife Terri
came to us in 2007. In a sense, Pastor
Paul defies the saying “you can’t come
home” because he did. He graduated
from Warren Western Reserve in 1969.
Before entering the ministry he taught
and coached at Reserve. His area friends
and BCC welcomed him back. Pastor
Paul has added another baptismal sight
for us. Since 2009 we hold “Baptism at the
Farmer’s Pond” each September. He has
baptized 140 Christians by immersion
and has given us a moving definition
of baptism. We now have two worship
services: 9:30 is a traditional service and
at 11:15 from September to May, Worship
Afresh is offered. This is an informal
service with instrumental music and video
presentations. Communion by intention
is given at both services every Sunday.
None of these accomplishments would
have been possible without the foresight
and faithfulness of our ancestors. One
hundred sixty-eight years ago 35 people
said we want a church in Bazetta. It still
stands at the corner of Everitt Hull and
Hoagland Blackstub in 2016. We are
blessed to have bloodlines from these
original families that still attend worship
with us today.
This is a series of the histories of the seven
churches that make up the Lakeview Outreach
And Fellowship organization in Cortland. In
existence since 1946, LOAF sponsors many
local ecumenical events throughout the year.
LOAF to sponsor Priceless Yard Sale
for Heifer
By Jean Bolinger
The Cortland area churches
that comprise the ecumenical group
called LOAF (Lakeview Outreach and
Fellowship) will once again sponsor
a summer community yard sale to
benefit Heifer, International.
For 850 million people in the
developing world, hunger and
undernourishment are a chronic
reality. According to the United
Nations, 100,000 people, including
16,000 children, die every day
from
hunger-related
diseases.
Heifer International is a nonprofit,
humanitarian organization dedicated
to ending world hunger and poverty
and caring for the earth.
Heifer is based on the philosophy
of helping others help themselves.
Animals are given to families who are
trained to care for them. The families
can then use the milk, eggs, honey,
wool, meat or draft power to better
Cortland Church of the Nazarene
Submitted by: Gigi Blauser
By Karolyn Shockey
Bazetta Christian Church was
founded in Nov. 1848 when Calvin
Smith met with 35 residents who wanted
a church in their area. The one room
church was heated by two coal stoves
and lighted by oil lamps. There were two
front doors, one used by women and the
other by men.
The sanctuary was divided with
women and children sitting on the
lectern side and boys 12 and older with
the men on the pulpit side. In 1907 a
vestibule and steeple were added. The
bell in the steeple now graces the front
lawn of the church. In 1895 the Ladies
Aid Society was organized. Money
raised by sewing, quilting and suppers
always went toward church additions
and needed items. One of their by-laws
was that “no gossiping was allowed.”
The society was in service for 93 years.
They finished their last quilt in 1988.
The original church was donated to
the Trumbull County Historical Society
and was moved to the fairgrounds
Historical Village in 1974. The doors of
the oldest church structure in the county
were again opened on July 28, 1974,
Ground breaking for the new
building was in 1972 under the
leadership of Rev. James Osuga. Rev.
Osuga was with us from 1966 until 1989.
His “sermon in song” was well known.
People from miles away came to hear
him sing.
Rev. Jeff Wheeler came to Bazetta in
1990 and stayed until 2006. During this
time the Child Care Center opened with
Mrs. Wheeler as director.
1998 was a year of remembrance, we
celebrated 150 years as a church. There
were many special events during the year.
On March 29, 1998, we held an “old time
church service.” Dr. Gary Larson from
Bethany College portrayed Alexander
Campbell. He and many members wore
old time costumes. Again the ladies sat
on one side, the men on the other. Our
theme for the year was “Growing in
Christ; a past to cherish and a future to
embrace.” In November, a banquet was
held in celebration of our history with
Dr. Howard Ratcliff as the speaker. Also
in 1998 a mortgage burning ceremony
took place. The capital campaign started
Page 17
their lives. One of the cornerstones
of Heifer is that each recipient family
passes on the gift of one or more of
their animal’s offspring as well as the
training on how to take care of it. Thus,
a gift to Heifer multiplies many times.
Last year LOAF sent a check for
$5,500 to Heifer. $5,000 buys an “ark”
or a symbolic pair of every animal
provided through this program.
This year’s one-day sale will be held
Saturday, August 13 at Prince of Peace
Lutheran Church, 490 N. High St, in
Cortland. Hours of the sale are 8 a.m.6 p.m. With few exceptions, items
offered for sale will not be priced.
LOAF believes that members of our
community will be generous in their
gifts in exchange for useful items.
If you would like to give an hour or
two to help set up for the sale August
12 or assist at the sale on August 13

On November 27, 1963, the first
service of what is now “The Cortland
Church of the Nazarene” was held in
a rented store front at 141 N. Mecca
St., Cortland. On December 15, 1963,
a charter membership of 35 members
were received into the newly formed
Cortland Church of the Nazarene.
After considerable effort, the current
location at 293 E Main St., Cortland,
was selected. Groundbreaking services
were held on Sunday, July 19, 1964.
Pastors through the years were: Rev.
Willis Scott, Rev. Clinton C Spencer
Jr., Rev. Wayne S. Smith, Rev. Ronald
Panos, Rev. Barney Richardson, Rev.
Harold “Rick” Chappell, Rev. Michael
Burke, Rev. William Mead, Rev.
Richard O. Nevard Jr., Rev. Gary Peck
and Rev. Fredrick E. Blauser.

Organizing your financial records for best results
With tax time long over and midyear officially here, it’s a great time to
organize your financial records. And the key word here is indeed “organize.”
Throwing all your important documents into a drawer won’t help much when
an emergency occurs and you (or a family member) need to find a certain piece
of paper.
Make a list
Of course, emergencies aren’t the only reason to organize your records. For
example, you may need to be able to access relevant personal records if you’re
ever audited or a victim of theft. Or your home could be damaged in a storm or
fire. Or you may need proof to cash in investments or claim insurance benefits.
To get started, make a list of important records. These include items related
to:
• Bank and investment accounts,
• Real estate and homeownership,
• Insurance policies,
• Credit card accounts,
• Health care benefits and medical history, and
• Marriage and your estate.
Grouping the items into broad categories such as these will make them easier
to file and find later.
Establish your approach
With your list in hand, it’s time to start organizing and storing your records.
Here are some tips for streamlining the process:
Create a central filing system. The ideal storage medium for personal documents
is a fire, water and impact-resistant security cabinet or safe. Create a master list of
the cabinet contents and provide a copy of the key to your executor or a trusted
family member.
Designate a second storage location. Maintain a duplicate set of the records
in another location, such as a bank safety deposit box, and provide access to a
trusted individual (preferably not the same individual with access to the original
documents). Consider keeping originals of your important legal documents,
such as your will, with your attorney.
Back up records electronically. It also makes sense to store copies of records
electronically. Simply scan your documents and save them to a trustworthy
external storage device. If opting for a cloud-based backup system, choose your
provider carefully to ensure its security measures are as stringent as possible.
Follow the ritual
Make organizing your records an annual ritual and not just a one-time event.
Need assistance? We can help you identify the specific documents pertinent to
your situation and organize them appropriately.
Sidebar: Create an emergency checklist to cope with calamity
Having an emergency checklist of important personal records handy is
essential in the event you must evacuate your home. In a crisis, you’ll likely be
able to take only what you can easily carry with you. That means storing the bare
essentials in a portable container. Include these items:
• Driver’s license, passport and Social Security card,
• Credit cards,
• Vital medical condition and medication information,
• Health insurance cards, and
• Emergency family and physician contacts.

Four ways a budget can pay off
What comes to mind when you think
of creating a budget? For many people,
even the thought of putting one together
is unappealing. However, there’s another
more positive way to look at budgeting
that may surprise you. Budgeting can be a
way to gain more control of your finances
and empower you to do more of what
you want to do in life. So while making
a budget does require forethought and
discipline—and may require you to
reign in impulse purchases—it pays off
by putting you in the driver’s seat. Over
time, a budget has the power to:
1. Let you decide. When you allocate
dollars as part of a budget, you give
yourself a chance to be thoughtful about
where your money is going and to make
adjustments, if needed. For example, if
you are shocked by how much you’re
spending dining out or buying new
clothes, you can curtail spending in
those areas. Ultimately, knowing your
spending patterns gives you the power
to put your dollars toward the things that
mean the most to you, and help you reach
your long-term goals.
2. Take the pain out of daily
decisions. Daily temptations to overspend
become easier to navigate when you
have a framework and guidance in black
and white. Setting a budget equips you
with the power to say “yes” or “no” to a
purchase without guilt. You’ll be able to
see what’s within your price range and
get a clear view of how each purchase
will impact your savings plan. The more
specific your budget is, the better.
3. Make it easier to see the value
of every dollar. When you’re cavalier
about your spending, you’re discounting
the effort it takes to earn money. In
contrast, when you consider everything
that goes into earning a paycheck, and
the expenses you’re incurring for your
home, food, clothing, entertainment and
so on, you’ll have a clearer picture of your
daily financial life. It’s also important to
consider the potential long-term benefits
of investing some of your hard-earned
savings. It’s likely this will you’ll bolster
your resolve even more.
4. Help you make larger financial
goals possible. Large purchases can seem
out of reach when you’re not tracking
your spending patterns. Creating a budget
gives you a roadmap to follow, making it
clear what trade-offs are possible if you’d
like to reach your goal sooner.
No matter what your net worth
is, a budget can be a useful tool to help
you be a good steward of your finances.
Your financial advisor can help you
examine your spending and recommend
investment strategies to keep you on track
with your financial goals.

take part in the Spring Hill Underground
Railroad Experience by playing the role of
freedom seekers or runaway slaves. This
will require extensive walking on uneven

will visit the Massillon Museum, a local
art and history museum. Its collections
include photographs, textiles and
clothing, the cost is $47.
The final tour will be on Wednesday,
July 13 to Salem, Ohio. A Salem Historical
Society docent, dressed as a Salem
Quaker, will take passengers back in
time to the year 1856. The group will
return to the 21st century with a better
understanding of the plight of slaves, the
working of the Underground Railroad
and the abolitionist movement that
flourished in Salem prior to the Civil War.
Since the homes are private and entrances
not possible, flashed on a screen inside
the trolley will be over 100 slides to show
pictures of the insides of the homes, the
Underground Railroad hiding places,
and several abolitionists who lived in or
visited them. Lunch will be at the Spread
Eagle Tavern in Hanoverton. This trip
will leave at 8:30 a.m. and the cost is $60.

issue of the Cortland News.
More ”Fair Fun” occurs with the 170th
Annual Trumbull County Fair, July 12 – 17
at the Trumbull County Fairgrounds.
Of course, vacations or “stay-cations”
are a huge part of summer. The beach
beckons many of us, as do the mountains,
historical sites, places to fish, swim or
ride rides. The main idea is to have some
fun, get away for a few days and make
memories. If you stay home, think about
taking in the historical sites and museums
around the area. Take the kids to our new
Splash Pad. There are places to fish, swim
and ride right here in Trumbull County!
Check out the festivals nearby.
Besides being the first issue of the

Local student in Final 10 at High School
Nationals Scholarship Race
At the young age of 15,
Andrew Franko of Bazetta, has
been drag racing now for nearly
three years competing in the TCR
(Teen Championship Racing)
class at Quaker City Motorsports
Park in Salem, Ohio. His passion
for racing and the automotive
field, led him to tour the High
Performance
Motorsports
Technology program at the
University of Northwestern
Ohio in Lima on May 9. While
on the campus, he learned of an
upcoming scholarship racing
event to be held that weekend
at the Summit Motorsports Park
in Norwalk, Ohio, a host track to the NHRA Full Throttle Drag Racing Series.
“When the admission’s counselor mentioned the race, I knew I wanted to be
there,” Andrew said. “I’m going to race any chance I can.” The university awards
a total of $31,000 in scholarships to the top eight drivers in the event.
Along with his parents, Mark and Kelly Franko, a decision was made to haul
Andrew’s 88 Monte Carlo LS to the High School Nationals that weekend so that
he could race on May 15. As a high school sophomore, Andrew was one of the
youngest competitors, racing with only his driver’s permit. He raced alongside
300 other student competitors for the grand prize of a $10,000 scholarship.
Andrew’s dad has been coaching him on his racing skills since he started. A
long time drag racer himself, Mark can already see the potential Andrew has to
be a top competitor. “He’s a very skilled driver,” said Mark, “He needs a higher
level of competition to keep improving his skills. The experience of driving on a
professional track alone raises the bar.”
After a few delays caused by hail and snow and 10 hours at the track on a
cold, windy day, Andrew was one of the final 10 drivers in the competition. “I
know Andrew is a strong racer,” Andrew’s mom, Kelly, said. “It was great to see
just how good he’s doing at such a young age.”
Going into the sixth round of racing, Andrew had the advantage, but
launched too quickly giving him a .016 red light, causing him to give the win to his
opponent. “290 kids went home before him.” Kelly said. “He was disappointed,
but he did amazingly well!” Mark agreed stating “We didn’t expect anything
that day other than gaining some good experience. He definitely got that, and he
almost won.” According to Andrew, “I was bummed I lost that round because I
beat myself. But, I guess if I’m not pushing myself to run hard, I’m not giving it
my all. That’s racing.”
“It wasn’t his time,” Kelly added. “I believe the other kids needed it more.
They were all upperclassmen heading to college a lot sooner than Andrew.”
Mark agrees and added, “He has two more years to run that race. He will win it
when it’s his time.” Andrew is already looking to the future by getting his next
car ready to race more competitively in the fall, after he turns 16. “I’ll be able to
be an honest member of the Renegade Racing Association and drive with them!”
Andrew said. “That, I can’t wait for!”
Sutliff Museum summer open house
On Saturday, June 11, the Sutliff
Museum is holding a summer open
house from 2 to 4 p.m. to celebrate
Flag Day. The public is invited to

home was maintained in authentic
Victorian style until the death of Phebe
Temperance Sutliff in 1955.
The Sutliff is decorated for the
summer months with decorations
enhancing the new permanent
exhibition of Sutliff family artifacts.
Beautiful art work and charming
messages are prominent. In the

case during the summer months, a
collection of world’s fair souvenirs
from a private collector including a
biography of Christopher Columbus
from the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair
and a tiny ashtray from the 1939 New
York World’s Fair.

Positively Pumped
Officer David Morris, Cortland Police Chief Tom Andrews and Cortland Fire Chief
David Rea
With summer vacation starting
within hours, the 500 students at
Lakeview Middle School were
pumped! Tests were over, the field
day was over, books turned in, lockers
cleaned out. It was hard for students
to sit still, harder to listen. One could
feel the energy when the building
practically rocked as students filed
in to the gymnasium for the last
assembly of the year.
Finishing her first year as a
principal at Lakeview, energetic Mrs.
Tracey Ryser, knew exactly what to
do to keep the students’ enthusiasm
under control: have a cheering contest
between grade levels. She directed
the cheers and the kids got to scream
as loud as they could. Then she
conducted cheers that started out soft,
rose in volume and returned to soft.
The key was keeping being
pumped from becoming out of control
behavior. Middle school students are
at a tough age, the ‘tweens (ages 9 to
12, older than elementary children,
but not into the teens). Mrs. Ryser
and her staff made this school year
focus on positive character building
awareness programs. The success
of this awareness was apparent as
students settled down quickly and
were ready to watch a video about
their school’s STEM program (Science,
Technology, Engineering and Math)
that chronicled some of the projects
the students did over the year, listen
to speakers and play some games of
beach volleyball.
Speakers at the assembly
included Cortland Police Chief
Tom Andrews who talked about
responsibility, the last of the pillars
of the character building program.
Being on time, doing the right thing
and taking responsibility for your
actions were the main points in his
short talk. Cortland Fire Chief David
Rea talked about summer safety:
wearing a helmet when biking, never
swimming alone and calling 9-1-1 for
emergencies. Students were attentive
and participated in answering
questions posed by the speakers.
Then it was time for the two chiefs
and Officer David Morris to be on a
team with students to play against a
student team for two games of beach
volleyball. While several students
were chosen to be on the teams,
the students who watched were
enthusiastic supporters of the teams.
After that? Well, after that
students returned to their homerooms,
and a short time later SUMMER
VACATION began! No comments
needed. Everyone who has ever
attended school knows the joy of
closing another school year. Happy
summer!

Seven Seventeen Credit Union awards
$12,000 in scholarships to local students
Seven Seventeen Credit Union
awarded eight $1,500 scholarships
on April 26 at the financial
institution’s 58th Annual Meeting.
All the scholarship recipients are
members or children of members of
Seven Seventeen.
Four of the scholarships, based
on grade point average and school
and community involvement,
are to be used at universities in
communities served by the financial
institution. Recipients were chosen
by, and will be attending the
following universities: Youngstown State University, The University of Akron and
Kent State University.
This year’s university scholarship recipients include: Christina Leone, of Ursuline
High School, who plans to pursue a degree in education at the main campus of Kent
State University; Neya Sterling, a St. Thomas Aquinas High School senior, who will
pursue a degree in medicine at Kent State University; Bradley Beckwith of Hoover
High School, who will pursue a degree in mechanical engineering at the University
of Akron; and Lucas Garland, of McDonald High School, who will double major in
computer science and graphic design at Youngstown State University;
In addition to the university scholarships, Seven Seventeen also awards
scholarships that illustrate its commitment to developing good financial habits early.
Two awards are given to members of the cha-ching! Teen Club and can be used by
the students to further their education at any accredited university or trade school. In
addition to their academic success and community commitment, these young people
were also required to write a short essay explaining why they thought it was important
to learn good financial habits early. The Seven Seventeen cha-ching Club Scholarship
recipients are: Ellie Martin, a Howland High School senior, who plans to pursue a
degree in chemical engineering at Case Western Reserve University and Kristin
Sampson, a senior at Warren G. Harding High School, who will major in nursing at
The Ohio State University.
Two additional scholarship awards were given to members of Seven Seventeen’s
young adult program, the edge. The edge is designed to meet the unique financial
needs of 18–25 year olds as they strive to make informed financial decisions and gain
financial independence. Unlike the other scholarship awards, the edge members can
apply for this scholarship award as long as they are a club member and enrolled as a
full-time student at any accredited post-secondary facility. The Seven Seventeen edge
club scholarship recipients are: Mitchell Franco, a senior at Lakeview High School, who
plans to pursue a degree mechanical engineering along with an MBA at the University
of Toledo; and Kelly McCorkle, who is currently pursuing her bachelor’s degree in
library science at the Clarion University of Pennsylvania.
Scholarship applications for the 2017-18 academic year can be downloaded at

Lakeview Retirees
Joyce Hughes
Carole Wilson
Every year, along with the graduates, are members of the Lakeview Local
Schools who are looking forward to the next chapters in their lives. This year there
were four retirees with varying roles in the school system, all important to the lives
of our children.
We often think that teachers are the only ones who impact our children at
school when it often is another adult at the school who affects the day-to-day
success of your child. I remember my kids receiving a warm welcome as they got
on the bus each day, cafeteria aides who paid attention if they weren’t eating or
were still hungry. The secretary was often the person who helped them in many
ways, like directing them to the school nurse, helping them call me, comforting
fears and tears. Their smiles and caring make a huge difference in how your child
perceives his/her time at school. Our four retirees are:
Bob Czako. For 33 years Bob has been in charge of making the “wheels on
the bus go ‘round and ‘round” on the 25 buses in Lakeview’s garage. As a
transportation mechanic, he is in the bus garage every day making sure each bus is
working properly to get our kids back and forth to school safely.
Joyce Hughes. Mrs. Hughes has been a secretary in the High School office for
25 years. She is one of the smiling faces that is the first to greet students, parents
and visitors to the school. Efficient and friendly, she can direct you to where you
need to go or give you the information you need.
Carole Wilson. Mrs. Wilson started out as a substitute teacher at Lakeview 17
years ago, then was hired as a seventh grade math teacher five years ago. “It’s not
really a retirement,” she noted, but she needed to move to part-time teaching to
have enough time to help take care of elderly relatives.
Julie Datish, not pictured, retired as bus driver and cafeteria aide mid-year,
after many years at Lakeview.
We wish them good luck and happiness as they begin their new chapter of life.

Pre-K Graduation at the
Cortland Playroom
It was an exciting
night for the Pre-K
children
of
the
Cortland Playroom.
On May 25, the
Playroom celebrated
by honoring them at a
graduation ceremony
at
the
Cortland
Christian
Church,
where there was
approximately 225 guests. The classes got to perform for their parents and families.
While the children were getting prepared to walk down the aisle to receive
their diplomas, a PowerPoint presentation of the graduates’ year made by the
director, Susette Zickefoose, was shown. Afterwards the children got to walk across
the stage and receive their diplomas, then everyone joined their families for cookies
and lemonade. Congratulations to the Pre K children of the Playroom! Page 25
