GENEVA-ON-THE-LAKE -Geneva-on-the-Lake (GOTL) Vil-lage Council is creating strongerordinances against clandestinedrug labs, more commonlyknown as meth labs, which havebecome a stronger presence inthe United States.

“For whatever reason, thereappears to be a resurgence inmeth usage and production allover the country,” Jim Hockaday,village administrator, said in anemail. “Law enforcement agen-cies are clearly making this apriority, as evidenced by the re-cent roundup coordinatedthroughout Lake and Ashtabulacounties.”

Hockaday said much of thecosts to clean up meth labs havenow fallen on local government,

GOTL cracking down on meth labsand the cost can be a hefty price.

“However, part of the quietcrisis is that federal and statedollars to remediate meth labsites have been exhausted,”Hockaday said. “The cost of theimmediate evidence and toxicchemical clean-up has now fallento localities. In other words, thecost of the clean up is beingshifted to local law enforcementagencies and communities.”

If meth is produced in a home,the toxic chemicals can harbor inmany surfaces, especially if theyare soft.

“Even when there was amplefunding for the initial site cleanup, remediation of larger sites,including any soft surfaces (fur-niture, carpet, items in the area,walls and surfaces) was left up tothe owner to remove without fur-ther government regulation atthe local level,” Hockaday said.

Hockaday said the propertyowner will now be in charge ofthe cost of cleaning up the re-mains of a clandestine drug lab.

“We want to see change in gov-ernment,” Leatherman said.

One of the biggest reasons forthe occupiers’ protest was the rightto recall city officials. The proposalwas submitted to the council dur-ing last Monday’s pre-councilmeeting.

JEFFERSON - Village of Jefferson of-ficials have found a way to deal with van-dalism at the playground in downtownJefferson.

“Security cameras are operational atthe playground,” Village AdministratorTerry Finger told Jefferson VillageCouncil during its meeting last Monday,Nov. 21.

Already the cameras have been useful,as Finger recalled that while he wasshowing Mayor Judy Maloney how to usethe cameras, they spotted a group of ju-venile boys at the playground checking allof the locked bathroom doors and knock-ing over trash cans.

As they watched the boys using the cam-eras they had activated only 15 minutesearlier, they contacted the Jefferson PoliceDepartment who responded to the callwithin minutes and talked with the boys.

“They work,” Finger said of the cam-eras.

The boys were told that the playgroundis being monitored from now on, Fingersaid.

“Hopefully, they will get rid of vandal-ism,” Finger said.

In other village news, Finger said theStreet Department has been gettingequipment ready for winter, as well ascleaning ditches and catch basins.

JEFFERSON - JeffersonVillage Council has joinedother municipalities in op-posing the state control ofmunicipal income-tax collec-tion.

Council passed a resolu-tion about the matter duringits meeting on Monday, Nov.21. Council decided to passthe resolution as an emer-gency measure, waiving thethird reading of it in orderto send it down to the Stateof Ohio in a more timelymatter.

Back in October,Jefferson Mayor JudyMaloney wrote a letter op-posing the proposed centralcollection of municipal in-come taxes to Ohio Gov. JohnKasich at the direction ofcouncil.

Now council is sending itsown document of opposition.

“During recent discussionregarding the State BiennialBudget Bill (HB 153), it wassuggested that the StateDepartment of Taxationtake over the collection ofmunicipal taxes,” the resolu-tion states. “Although thefinal version of the bill didnot contain any provision forthe state to take control ofmunicipal income taxes,other legislation may be in-troduced pertaining to thismatter.”

Village officials believecentralized collection wouldforce the village to halt the“excellent personalized ser-vice Jefferson Village pro-

Jefferson Council opposesstate control of municipalincome-tax collection

vides in the preparation andfiling of individual tax re-turns, answering questionsand resolutions to delin-quencies.”

Additionally, they believea centralized tax collectionwould be contradictory to theidea of smaller governmentand would circumvent localcontrol.

“If local governmentshave to wait for the State ofOhio to distribute incometax revenues, the lack ofcash flows would result insevere financial hardshipsand (the) potential inabilityto make payroll and man-dated payroll taxes,” theresolution reads. “The Stateof Ohio is infringing on thehome rule rights of munici-palities to self govern.”

With the resolution,council declares its strongopposition to any effort bythe state to take over collec-tion of municipal incometaxes in Ohio and urges itsstate legislators to reject andoppose any amendment topending bills or the introduc-tion of new legislation thatproposes to transfer collec-tion and/or control of munici-pal income tax to the Stateof Ohio Department of Taxa-tion.

Council is sending theresolution to Kasich, OhioTreasurer Kevin Boyce andlocal representatives of theOhio legislature.

Citizens turn in referendum petitionsBY STEFANIE WESSELLGazette Newspapers

JEFFERSON - A group of citizensbelieve they have collected enoughsignatures to place a referendum onthe November 2012 ballot regardinga recent property purchase byJefferson Village Council.

When Jefferson Village Councilvoted to purchase the building andproperty at the old Jefferson El-ementary School on 104 E. JeffersonSt., a group of citizens said theywould seek a referendum on thematter and give citizens a chance tovote on it.

The group had to collect 100 sig-natures (which is the necessary 10percent of the number of voters inthe last gubernatorial election) within30 days of the ordinance’s passage,and they believe they’ve met theirtotal.

Jefferson Councilor Ken Fertig,who voted against the purchase, andcitizen Jim Donathon presented thepetitions to Village Clerk/TreasurerPatty Fisher on Tuesday, Nov. 29.They believe 218 valid signatures

have been collected.The group of citizens circulated

the petitions as a way to give citi-zens a chance to vote on council’s de-cision to purchase the old elemen-tary school property for $300,000.The deal consists of $150,000 incash and an additional $150,000credit package for in-kind labor andimprovements spread over an un-specified period of time.

The village intends to use theproperty for the police department,who need the additional room.

Donathon said most people whosigned the petitions weren’t againstmoving the police department to thebuilding, or even acquiring it, butrather the price council was payingfor the property, as well as their be-lief that they were paying twice forthe same property.

“When we went out and askedresidents to sign, only a handful ofpeople did not want to sign,”Donathon said. “They’re concernedabout the cost.”

Beyond the purchase price,Donathon said people were con-cerned about the renovation costs.

“There’s a lot of questions unan-swered,” Donathon said.

After speaking with citizens,Donathon stressed the importanceof people coming to the village coun-cil meetings and following council’sactions.

Not everyone who signed the pe-tition was necessarily against thepurchase, Donathon said. He saidsome people merely wanted achance to vote on it.

Fisher will hold the signaturesfor 10 days, allowing the public toreview them if they wish. After 10days, she will turn them over to theAshtabula County Board of Elec-tions, who will determine if the pe-titions have enough valid signaturesto put the matter on the ballot.

The matter can still be resolvedin another manner, though.Donathon said council can decide towithdraw the ordinance, thus re-moving the need for it to go on theballot.

“Each card is personal-ized,” said Dell. “Some kidseven did more than one cardlike Madison Priestap. Shemade four of them andbrought in a lot of the sup-plies.”

The students, like JoshMorford who drew a ninja tur-key, designed the cards. Theyalso shared things they weremost thankful for. Each cardincluded a picture of the stu-dent designer.

Geneva Business Association encouragebusinesses to keep longer hours for the holidaysBY SADIE PORTMANGazette Newspapers

GENEVA - The Geneva BusinessAssociation (GBA) is getting ready forChristmas, and along with their annualChristmas parade on Friday, they arealso offering a special treat with freecarriage rides.

“To kick off the holiday season, weare having free carriage rides Dec. 2from 4:30 p.m. until 6:30 p.m., followedby the official Geneva Christmas pa-rade,” David Gale and Andrew Whitewrote in a letter to local businesses andto Geneva City Council.

The GBA is planning events for thisFriday’s parade and throughout theholiday season.

“We have also made arrangementsto have a roving choir the sameevening,” Gale and White said.

The GBA would like to use the holi-days as time people think of Genevaand all the unique shops to experience.

“Since we are expecting people

downtown, this would be a perfect nightto extend your hours if possible,” Galeand White said.

GBA are encouraging all local busi-nesses to stay open longer until the endof Christmas as they hope to see a risein visitors.

“It would also be great if you wereable to extend your hours every Fridayand/or Saturday nights betweenThanksgiving and Christmas,” Galeand White said.

GBA is promoting their Christmasevents through many different medi-ums and feel more people are likely tocome to Geneva if they are assured thelocal shops will keep their doors openedbeyond the normal closing times.

“We are supporting our Christmasin Geneva with radio that will also en-courage people to buy from our localmerchants, so extending your hourswould make this more effective,” Galeand White wrote.

Other events are in the planningand GBA will be opening the ice-skat-

ing rink but are unsure when.“Even though we would like to have

ice-skating during this holiday season,it is not likely since it is contingentupon weather conditions,” Gale andWhite said. “If we do not have it forChristmas we will have it forWinterfest.”

For the first time Jungle Terry isalso a part of the festivities.

“We have planned other events suchas Jungle Terry on Dec. 17 at 11:30 a.m.at the Geneva Fire House,” Gale andWhite said. “This will follow the Break-fast with Santa at Luisa’s Mexican Grillwhich will be held from 9 a.m. until 11a.m.”

Gale and White are chairing theChristmas entertainment for the firsttime this year and hope to see a con-tinued success in the City of Genevaand its surrounding areas as they deckthe streets and trim the holly.

“Thank you for your support thisholiday season,” Gale and White con-cluded.

The crews also havebeen busy decorating thevillage for the Christmasholidays, as much ofJefferson’s holiday activi-ties will take place thisweekend, including the pa-rade at 6 p.m. Saturday,Dec. 3.

All listed tree stumps

also have been grounddown, Finger said.

“The village crews willremove the grindings,” Fin-ger said.


METH From page 1AOCCUPY From page 1A“This new ordinance

places the burden of clean upon the property owner,”Hockaday said. “The cost ofthe immediate clean up by astate-certified remediationfirm of the toxic chemicalsused in the manufacturing ofmethamphetamine can bebilled to the property owner.”

If a meth lab is foundwithin the village, nobody willbe allowed on the propertyuntil it has been cleaned of alltoxins.

“We are submitting a re-call to the Ashtabula CityCouncil,” Leatherman said.

The proposal was signedby council President-electJ.P. Ducro, whose signaturewas down as a witness.

“What we are trying to dois to get city council to voteon it before we get a petitiongoing,” Leatherman said.“Right now we’re submittingit so the city solicitor can readit and understand what it isall about and give the coun-cil all a chance to look at therecall legislation.”

Leatherman and the occu-piers are hoping they can getthe amendment passed with-out further action, but theyare prepared to have the pub-lic vote on the issue if neces-sary, a task they are familiar

with since many of the occu-piers also participated in thelegislation of the traffic cam-eras.

“We are ready to go getpetitions and signaturesagain,” Leatherman said.“We changed the charteronce, we can change it again.”

The occupiers are still inCornelius Park and say theare dedicated to creatingpositive change throughoutthe City of Ashtabula.

“We still are camping out,”Leatherman said. “We’rekind of on a skeleton crewnow because everyone hasbusinesses and jobs.”


“The site would be de-clared ‘off-limits’ until theproperty owner retains a cer-tified industrial hygienisttests the site to ensure it issafe for human occupation,”Hockaday said.

The village will require theclean up and can take furtheraction if the sight remainsunsafe.

“Should the propertyowner not comply, it detailsthe procedural due process forthe village to intervene and

eliminate the public nuisanceand health hazard created bythis very toxic and dangerousdrug,” Hockaday said.

The village has researchedsuch ordinances and have dis-covered their successes inother communities in thestate.

“This ordinance wasadopted from City ofCuyahoga Falls, Ohio. Policyresearch conducted by Timo-thy Bruckman, chief of police,and confirmed by my own re-

search, [this was] the stron-gest model we could find to en-sure the health, safety andwelfare of the community,”Hockaday said.

Hockaday said in the endit will save the village and,therefore the taxpayers,money.

“Furthermore, it appropri-ately removes the financial re-sponsibility from the taxpayerto those that create or enablethe problem of methamphet-amine use,” Hockaday said.

FOOD DRIVE From page 1A

Members of the senior high Student Council load up boxes for Manna Food Pantry.

Of course, the real winners are theover 130 families of Jefferson, RockCreek and Dorset who are served by thepantry every month. Sharon Piper, oneof the directors, was thrilled to see somany boxes of food.

“This is when our shelves go down,”she said. “There are so many, manypeople who are in need.”

Just days before the Pantry had dis-tributed Thanksgiving food to needyfamilies in the Jefferson area, so thefresh supply will help replenish theshelves.

The Manna Food Pantry is run by a

team of directors: Piper, Beth Baker,Lisa Schaeffer and Sue Green. Bakerstarted volunteering when she retiredfrom teaching in 2007.

“I knew so many people when Iworked at Rock Creek that were in need.I wanted to help,” she explained.

And help she does. Baker weighedeach box of food the students carried in.

“It’s surprising how it all adds up,”she said. “The donation totaled 1,234pounds. A large donation would be 100pounds, so 1,234 pounds is extraordi-nary.”

“Once the boxes are weighed, we do

a quick sort. Items are separated intogroups like soups, veggies, and toilet-ries. Then we’ll go back and do a finesort,” Baker explained.

Piper added that the Manna FoodPantry is in need of food for diabeticsand items that can’t be purchased withfood stamps.

“Like toilet paper, toothpaste, andcleaning supplies,” she said.

The Manna Food Pantry is open 9to 11 a.m. Monday through Friday.Piper said that the next big distribu-tion will be the Christmas hams nextmonth.

Ashton Allen and Amanda Kraus unload boxes.

As the dimes rolled in, the level of contributions wastracked with colorful sneakers posted on a wall in the gym. As each grade level collected $5.00 another sneaker wasadded to the wall. Every student who contributed a dime forthe cure for diabetes was allowed to wear pajamas to schoolon the Wednesday before Thanksgiving and on that day theschool was a virtual sea of colorful flannel.

“The students and staff at Cork Elementary are amaz-ing,” said parent volunteer Nancy Frank who helped orga-nize the Dimes for Diabetes event. “Our daughter Allison (aCork third grader) was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes whenshe was 4 years old. The initial shock, grief, and fear wereoverwhelming. There is presently no cure for diabetes, butthe disease can be managed with diet, insulin dosage, andexercise. To stay alive, people with type 1 diabetes mustmonitor their blood sugar frequently, so that means prick-ing her fingers approximately 6 times a day and changingher insulin injection site every 3 days. This is what she andmillions of others need to do until a cure is found.”

Frank explained that every dime of the $1,051.00 col-

DIMES From page 1A

lected at Cork will be donated to research for a cure for dia-betes.

“The generosity of the families and the kids has justbeen great,” said Frank. “Some of the kids brought intheir own money from allowances or money they hadsaved. With the economy the way it is and the holidaysapproaching, people will still pitch in for a good cause. Ifkids at our little school can work together for an impor-tant cause and achieve a result like this, then anythingis possible.”

‘Rock Nativity’ opensFriday at Mt. CarmelTreasure the Christmas season

By Pastor Bill McMinnEagleville Bible Church

I treasure the Christmas season.It’s a time of love, joy and peace, plusit’s a season for unrivaled generosity!There are so many loveable thingsabout our favorite holiday. But I fearwe are focused on different things dur-ing this present Christmas seasonthan what they were at the originalChristmas.

For instance, the wise men walkedfor miles to find a Savior whereas wewalk for miles to find savings. Theshepherds rejoiced to see the personof Jesus in a rustic manger whereaswe’re happy to find some technologi-cally savvy gadget beneath the Christ-mas tree!

Our focus can easily shift from thepeople to products in this possessionclingy culture! And in fact, Christmasmay get spoiled if the special personin our life doesn’t get the special prod-uct they were longing for! And thatmy friends, is how spoiled we’ve be-come!

Let’s admit it; most of us are goingto do some heavy duty shopping in thisnext month and we’re going to see alot of things. We’re going to makechoices on styles and colors, games andgadgets, as well as toys for young andold. We’re going to hunt high and lowfor just the right things at just theright price! We’re going to circle park-ing lots looking for a spot closer to the

door, brave the crowds, and endure thelines!

We’re going shoulder to shoulderwith vast mobs so we can find just theright thing for the ones we love. It ispart of the season. I’m not much of ashopper throughout the year, but I’ma Christmas shopping warrior whenit comes to buying gifts for my family!I’m into it like many of you are.

But at times, it gets crazy. BlackFriday was made all the blacker withstories of pepper spray, shootings, andfist fights! People wanted the deal andwere willing to fight to get it or to keepit! Is it really that important? I amtrying to keep it all in perspective andespecially because I know how allur-ing it is! That’s why I’m one of theultimate budget busters when it comesto Christmas shopping for my wife andchildren!

We were walking around LegacyVillage and I went into some storesthat I typically would never enter. Forinstance, we walked into the Bosestore. Bose is known for their worldclass speakers and they sell at pricesyou can scarcely wrap your mindaround. I was shown a simple systemwith a one bar speaker and a wirelesssubwoofer that produces sound thatmight rival the richness of an angelicchoir! It was only $2,500!

I didn’t even know I needed bettersound until I walked into that storeand now I’m starting to wonder! Wewent into the Apple store next where

they had a dazzling array of iPads,Macbooks, computers, iPods, and allsorts of technological wizardry! Mywife suggested that maybe I neededone of those iPads and I reminded herthat I already had a smart phone anda laptop and certainly didn’t need one!

The surround sound may be a dif-ferent story! I say that tongue incheek, but going into these placesmakes us feel like we need things thatwe were happy without two minutesbefore we stumbled into the store!

Let’s remind ourselves of what’struly important in our lives! Thepeople in our lives are the true trea-sures! Knowing God better and hav-ing a connection with Him throughfaith in Jesus is truly indispensable.Technologies and styles constantlychange but the love of God stays thesame! We’ll barely get a nickel for anold Beanie Baby, but the value of fam-ily and friends is immeasurable, solet’s keep it in perspective and findcontentment!

Hebrews 13:5 - Keep your lives freefrom the love of money and be contentwith what you have, because God hassaid, “Never will I leave you; never willI forsake you.”

The Bible encourages content-ment while the advertising this timeof year encourages discontentment!Please remember how much we al-ready have! Contentment is up tous. Will our joy be in people or prod-ucts?

Educar campaign is going strongCampaign aims to raise $100k for Ashtabula County schoolsBY STEFANIE WESSELLGazette Newspapers

ASHTABULA TOWNSHIP -Chances are that no matter whatschool district you live in, you’ve prob-ably been or will be approached aboutbuying raffle tickets for the Educarcampaign, a unique fundraising cam-paign for Ashtabula County schools.

Just about every school district inAshtabula County is participating inthe fundraising campaign that kickedoff on Monday, Aug. 22, through theGreat Lakes Auto Group.

“It’s our goal is to raise $100,000,”MACS Integrated Marketing Com-munications President Stuart Mosssaid.

As a non-profit initiative, Educaris a collaborative effort between theGreat Lakes Auto Group andAshtabula County school systems cre-ated by MACS.

The fundraiser is a simple idea:during the 2011-2012 academic year,students and staff will sell raffle tick-ets for a $5 donation. Similar to a tra-ditional raffle, tickets will be collectedfor a grand drawing to be held in June2012.

The selected winner will have thechoice of a 2012 GMC Sierra, a 2012Chevy Cruze, $25,000 toward the pur-

chase of another vehicle or $15,000in cash.

Unlike other fundraisers, all of themoney raised will be given to theschool districts, and the schools willhave control over the money they col-lect during the campaign.

The idea for the fundraiser beganwhen Joey Huang, co-owner of theGreat Lakes Auto Group, read thefine print of his child’s fundraisercampaign and noticed that the schoolwas only receiving about 50 percentof the funds collected.

Through the Educar campaign, theschool district will receive all of thefunds, with the Great Lakes AutoGroup donating the vehicle and ma-terials, including the raffle tickets. Nomoney will be retained by the dealer-ship.

“The program can be used for any-thing. Other fundraisers collect forjust one program, like athletics. Ev-ery kid will benefit [from Educar],”Raymond Beckwith, of AshtabulaArea Schools, siad.

Moss said the schools have beenbusy selling the tickets, and placeslike Assumption School in Geneva arerelying on the funds that are beingcollected.

“[The EduCar fundraiser is] doingwell. No negative feedback. We’ve be-

gun to advertise it. I think our fami-lies are encouraged that Great LakesAuto Group are supporting this effortand joining to support our communityschools and supporting good educa-tion in Ashtabula County,” SisterMaureen Burke of Saints John andPaul School, said.

In June, a select number of peoplefrom each school district will be cho-sen at random and invited to a carshow at a Great Lakes dealership.Each person will then be given a key,and one key will open the car. Thewinning person can pick their choiceof the four options.

“This is just a great opportunity.We were thrilled to be offered to be apart of it. [We’re] very grateful toGLAG, just very glad to be a part ofit,” Laurie Inman of Pymatuning Lo-cal Schools said.

Moss said the campaign now hasa campaign page where people canfind more information, located athttps://www.facebook.com/pages/EduCAR/266855350024185.

People interested in buying aticket can also contact their localschool district.

SUBMITTED PHOTOAmanda Grant and Kaitlyn Hawkin prepare to drop anegg as part of a class project while A-Tech IntegratedScience instructor Mrs. Bornino looks on.

Senior Integrated Science students at the AshtabulaCounty Technical and Career Campus (A-Tech) were chal-lenged to build a device to safely catch a raw egg from in-creasingly greater heights using only ten sheets of copypaper and one meter of masking tape. Designs varied, butthe goal of each device was to minimize impact force byincreasing impact time through the use of cushioning,multiple layers or device shape thereby protecting the eggfrom injury (cracking). Senior Cosmetology student AmandaGrant said, “The exercise was really fun, I got to make adevice out of ten sheets of paper that kept the egg fromcracking all the up to 3.5 meters and it was a great way toput what we were learning in the classroom to practicaluse.”

Mrs. Bornino, A-Tech Integrated Science instructor com-mented afterwards that “enthusiasm for this competitionwas so great that an additional competition will be heldallowing students to use the knowledge they gained to re-design and build a second device in hopes of improving theiregg’s chance at survival.”

JEFFERSON - Valerie’sHair Design owner ValerieFisher went back to her“roots” last Monday, Nov. 21,when her former cosmetol-ogy teacher Judy Divine vis-ited her salon with her cur-rent class of students at theAshtabula County Technicaland Career Campus (A-Tech).

When Fisher was underDivine’s tutelage, the schoolwas called the AshtabulaCounty Joint VocationalSchool, but even though thename has changed, thespirit of the cosmetologyclass hasn’t, as the studentslearn all of the skills neededto run their own salon someday.

The students visitedValerie’s Hair Design tolearn how to use clippers,but they also received somelessons about life, as Fisherdiscussed why she loves run-ning her own salon.

“I always wanted to helppeople out,” Fisher said.

“People were very gener-ous,” Fisher said. “You feelso good when you’re doingstuff like this.”

Fisher also gave themother tips to further theireducation, such as checkingout the free websites onlinethat have instructional vid-eos and information for thestudents about hair styling.

“The info is out there foryou,” Fisher said.

Even though the studentsare learning about cosmetol-ogy in their classes, the trueeducation will begin oncethey graduate.

“Your education actuallystarts when you get in thesalon,” Divine said.


COLUMBUS - The En-gineers Foundation of Ohio(EFO) is offering nearly$25,000 in academic schol-arships to qualifying engi-neering students for the2012-2013 academic year.
