ANDOVER - Lea Woodard ison a mission to connect Ohio’schildren and families with spe-cialty crop producers. To thatend, she planned and imple-mented last Thursday a success-ful Ohio Farm to School Initia-tive event at Pymatuning ValleySchools in Andover. PV Food Ser-vice Director Lori Tabor andGeneva City Council MemberBruce Beckwith assisted her inher efforts.

The event, held in the Sun-shine Room at the primaryschool, featured free foodsamples made from locallygrown foods.

Sample size offerings of beefstew, pork stir-fry, mixed salad,squash and pumpkin cookieswere gobbled up by students,parents and teachers who werealso attending parent teacherconferences.

The PV kitchen staff and vol-unteers prepared the samples.Woodard said she found all therecipes on-line and contacted lo-cal producers for donation of theproduce and meat. PV FFA, Na-tional Honor Society and Stu-dent Council members distrib-uted the samples.

In addition to food samples,many area growers set up tablesand exhibited their products.Also staffing tables were repre-sentatives of OSU Extension,Ashtabula County Farm Bureau,Ashtabula County Conventionand Visitors Bureau and RuralAction.

Woodard’s vision started totake shape with the receipt of a$2,000 grant from the Ohio De-partment of Agriculture. The so-called farm to school grant wasapplied for by Woodard as partof her Master’s Degree project atIndiana University.

Her high school alma mater(PV) received one of only five

grants in Ohio about the sametime Woodard earned herMaster’s Degree in Environmen-tal Science. The grant is to beused to bring locally grown prod-ucts into the school lunches inaddition to planting a garden onschool property.

Woodard currently works inthe garden and nature center atIndiana University inBloomington and made a quickthree-day trip home to coordi-nate the event. She said she washappy to talk directly with thegrowers during the event andhelp the growers connect withconsumers.

Woodard also asked partici-pants of the event to complete asurvey about the event and theirknowledge of local foods.

“I’m hoping this event willspur enough interest from thecommunity to start something,”Woodard said.

a candidate for the Marysvillesuperintendent’s job. I looked into it yes, butI’m staying at PV High School. My family andI live here in the county in Ashtabula Harbor.”

“It’s a great school here at Pymatuning Val-

ley and our building. I’m not leaving. I havethree daughters in the Ashtabula city schools,”McWreath said.

Bottoms said he attended thevillage’s Board of Public Affairsmeeting on Nov. 7 for discussionson the Penniman Road watertower refurbishing project. He saidthe BPA is using George Hess &Associates, a Newbury based con-sulting engineers firm, to draw upthe specifications to bid the projectout.

It is estimated to cost close to$400,000 and must be advertised

for bids. Bottoms said the BPA islooking to pay off the contract overfive-years and not seek any loan.Revenue from water use custom-ers will be used to pay the cost ofthe project.

Council President David Hartzsaid council’s choice to offer thefirst village manager’s job to GarySt. John of Stryker, Ohio is pro-gressing. Hartz advised that abackground check on St. John hasbeen cleared.

“I’ve also talked with some ofthe references he gave us. I’ve in-cluded contacting a mayor of alarge city near Stryker,” he added.

ORWELL -Grand Valley SchoolDistrict’s 3.9 mills emergency levygot dumped at the polls inTuesday’s general election. Theunofficial vote tally had 1,076votes for the levy and 1,549against.

This is the second time districtvoters failed to pass an operatinglevy even as cuts in programmingand staff were made this pastschool year. If passed the levywould have generated $655,000 a

GV School District emergency levy dumped by votersyear over a five-year period.

Grand Valley SuperintendentBill said he held out hope that vot-ers would pass the levy even in theface of a poor economy and unem-ployment still high.

“It failed and everybody knowsour need. It’s a reflection of oureconomy and the times. We willhave to make cuts and adjust-ments at some point,” Nye said re-ferring to the community meet-ings held prior to the election.

Nye said he planned to discusswith the GV School Board at theNov. 21 meeting if they want to

go back to voters again in March2012 primary. The superinten-dent said he asked members of thelevy committee to attend the Nov.21 meeting for a general discus-sion on the issues and the vote re-sults.

While not quite sure of the lastloss figures for a larger levyamount in November 2010, Nyesaid Tuesday night there ap-peared to be a trend with moreresidents voting for the levy thistime. He wanted to look at theprecinct by precinct results beforethe Nov. 21 board meeting.

Nye said Grand Valley boardand administration has made cutsover the last two years with lessrevenue anticipated.

“The bottom line is there willbe some kind of adjustments orcuts made in 2012,” Nye added.

He said that other area schooldistricts are also struggling withless revenues as Grand Valley isfacing. Much of the federal stimu-lus money GV district receivedends this current school year of2011-2012 along with the stategovernment phasing out the tan-gible personal property taxes.

NEW LYME TOWNSHIP - Whenthe polls closed in New Lyme at 7:30p.m. Tuesday evening the unofficial fi-nal tally for the 0.5 mill five-year cem-etery levy was 151 for and 181 againstthe levy.

Trustees had hoped to use the es-timated $8,686 per year generated bythe levy to repair, improve and main-tain the cemeteries in New LymeTownship. Of particular importancewas replacing perimeter fencing andrepairing damaged markers.

Trustee Bill Edelman said thetrustees try to make the cemeteriesself-supporting through fees for sell-ing grave lots, digging graves and set-ting headstone foundations. For thelast several years, however, thoseself-generated funds have only cov-ered the cost of routine maintenancesuch as mowing and trimming. Be-cause of complicated funding rules,it is almost impossible to transferfunds from other accounts, Edelmansaid.

New Lyme passed a cemetery levyonce in the mid-70’s, Edelman said,to acquire and grade additional prop-

erty at the Brownville Cemetery.The three active New Lyme cem-

eteries are the Brownville Cemetery,the Dodgeville Cemetery that is fullysold out and the historic Hyde Cem-etery.

More than 50-percent of those resi-dents registered to vote in New LymeTownship exercised their right to doso, Marrison said.

Other unofficial results show BrianEdelman elected as New Lyme Town-ship Trustee and Wendi O’Brienelected as New Lyme Township Fis-cal Officer. Both were incumbentswho ran unopposed.

The shops on Main Street will be hosting various spe-cial events and activities along with one of a kind holi-day gift ideas. All shops are locally owned and differ-ent.

Antiques, hand-blown glass items, baby and kid gear,cards, Amish made rugs, and vintage furniture are justa few of the many things waiting to be discovered inBurton Village year round.

In keeping with the Dickens theme, Country HearthChristmas has partnered with Rabbit Run Theater inMadison. Rabbit Run’s 2012 season is dedicated to oneauthor, Charles Dickens. Tickets will be sold for a giftbasket of theater goodies highlighting Dickens and Rab-bit Run. All proceeds will go to supporting the programsat Rabbit Run.

Picturesque and historic Burton Village is a wonder-ful place to visit in any season. The holiday time bringsout the very New England feel of the town and area.Just a peaceful walk through the Village Green relaxesand refreshes. For those who wish to extend their visit,the Red Maple Inn and Goodwin House B&B are readyto welcome you.

Michael Brewster in thetransition.

classes to share writing tips

This assembly of PV Middle School fifth and sixth graders stand up in giving a thank you and applause to visitingOhio author Marcia Schonberg. She spent several days a week ago talking with students including the primarygrades about writing skills and tips on art, books and photography, her special passions.

PV Middle School student Kaitlin Hettmansperger talksone on one with Ohio freelance writer and author, MarciaSchonberg following the special program at the schoola week ago.


ANDOVER TOWNSHIP -Marcia Schonberg, achildren’s book author andfreelance writer from Lex-ington, Ohio, spent two dayssharing her career life andwriting tips with students atPymatuning Valley MiddleSchool. Schonberg also vis-ited the PV Primary Schooltalking about her books in-cluding “B is for Buckeye”and “I is for Ideas: An Inven-tions Alphabet”, based oninventions by famous Ohio-ans.

The writer used a PowerPoint presentation in shar-ing her tips on writing andart related subjects. Whileshe didn’t start out as a pub-lished author after graduat-ing from Ohio State Univer-sity, Shonberg said, “ It waslike taking baby steps. Writ-ing and photography are allconnected with art. My goalwas to be a writer (someday).”

She is a former artteacher and one-time a re-porter for the MansfieldJournal, the local dailynewspaper where shelearned how to combine pho-tography for assignment sto-ries.

England. That later led herto consider later doing travelstories freelance and morefeature writing for maga-zines and daily newspapers.

Her tips to the studentsin grades 5-8 at PVMS weresimple. In doing any kind ofwriting assignment or writ-ing for example a book, aperson has to do research,organize the plot, proof readthe final works and editingwill lead to success, she said.

In sharing her back-ground in writing and pub-lishing books, Shonbergused the Power Point slidesto help emphasize her talktheme entitled “ROPES.”

“I’ve never had writer’sblock,” she said smiling re-ferring to what some writersmay get. “I try to have moreinformation than I needwhen I get an assignment orbegin to write on a subjectfor a book.”

Schonberg said most fic-tion writers today have theluxury of hiring people to dosome of the background re-search. She does not.

Illustrations used in herpublished books are not doneby her, but chosen by thepublishers. Although on oc-casion she has given ideasand even photos of her threegrown children when theywere younger. The sketcheswere used in a poem shewrote for “The Ohio Reader”

book, based somewhat onthe 19th century McGuffeyReaders used in schools.

“When I write a book I doan outline or road map. Itkeeps me from getting lost,”she said. “Editing what Iwrite to me is the polishingof a book, very important.”

She also stressed that thestudents listening were re-ally “all writers” as theydaily write assignments inclass or for special projects.Freelance writing is a soli-tary profession, the authorsaid.

“And you have to be noseyto be a writer,” she said jok-

ingly.She took time to take

questions from her youngaudience. Schonberg’s visitto the local Pymatuning Val-ley district was arrangedfrom a grant Andover Pub-lic Library received thisyear.

Schonberg said shespends her time betweenOhio and Florida these dayscoming up with ideas forwriting more children’sbooks. Most of her works sofar have been on Ohio andlittle known facts about thestate as well as getting intotravel writing.

Selections now go to PASSHE officialsEdinboro University Trustees approve slate of three presidential candidates

EDINBORO, Pa. – During a pub-lic meeting Monday afternoon, theEdinboro University Council ofTrustees approved a slate of threehighly qualified candidates seekingto become the University’s 17thpresident.

The unranked slate of candidatesrecommended to PennsylvaniaState System of Higher Educationofficials for further review and theultimate approval of one asEdinboro University’s next presi-dent include:

· Dr. Ronald J. Ambrosetti, Pro-vost and Dean of the College, St.John Fisher College, Rochester,N.Y.;

· Dr. Maurice W. Scherrens, Se-nior Vice President, George MasonUniversity, Fairfax, Va.; and

· Dr. Julie E. Wollman, VicePresident for Academic Affairs,Wheelock College, Boston, Mass.

The three were selected from theseven presidential candidates whovisited Edinboro’s campus duringthe past two weeks, meeting withvarious campus constituencies, in-cluding the President’s ExecutiveCouncil, the President’s staff, de-partment chairs, students, athleticstaff and coaches, union represen-tatives, managers and staff, facultyand local community leaders as wellas the Edinboro University Councilof Trustees. In addition to the meet-ings, candidates were taken on cam-pus and community tours.

Those attending campus con-stituency meetings had the oppor-tunity to question the candidatesand provide feedback via evaluationforms to the Presidential SearchCommittee.

“On behalf of the Edinboro Uni-versity Council of Trustees, I wouldlike to thank members of the Presi-dential Search Committee for theirwork over the last six months,” saidTrustee Chair John Horan. “All ofthe members and alternates havegiven their time and talents to iden-tify the best candidates to serve asEdinboro’s 17th president. I wouldlike to extend a special thanks tothe Search Committee chair and

fellow Trustee Harold Shields forhis leadership and guidance duringthis process.”

Horan, who presided overMonday’s special meeting, also said,“Any of the three candidates that wewill forward to the Chancellor’s Of-fice today would serve EdinboroUniversity well. They each under-stand our Edinboro culture, ourstrengths and our challenges. Theyare the best of an outstanding poolof candidates that applied for theEdinboro presidency. We arepleased and proud to forward thesecandidates to the Chancellor andthe PASSHE Board of Governors fortheir consideration.”

The three candidates’ curriculavitae and photos of each candidatecan be found on EdinboroUniversity’s home page(www.edinboro.edu) by clicking on“Presidential Search.”

Prior to the Trustees’ vote, theEdinboro University PresidentialSearch Committee met to narrowthe field of seven to the three rec-ommended for approval by the fullCouncil of Trustees, according toSearch Committee Chair andTrustee Shields. Council membersthen met at noon to consider theSearch Committee’s recommenda-tions and, following a brief execu-tive session, unanimously approvedAmbrosetti, Scherrens andWollman as recommended.

The three-candidate slate hasnow been submitted unranked toPennsylvania State System ofHigher Education Chancellor JohnC. Cavanaugh and PASSHE’s Boardof Governors for consideration andselection of Edinboro University’snext president, Shields said. Theselection by the BOG is expected inDecember.

Shields said the committee’smain objective was “to find thepresidential candidates who wouldbe the best fit for Edinboro Univer-sity.”

“Our committee is confident itsubmitted the strongest slate pos-sible,” Shields said. He congratu-lated the committee members “for

their untiring efforts during an ex-haustive national search process.”

“The committee has no doubtthat the next president will con-tinue to advance the University andits mission,” Shields said.

He also credited the EdinboroCommunity and the many membersof various constituencies who par-ticipated in the evaluation process.

“The Committee was very sensi-tive to the constituent evaluations,”Shields said. “Constituent evalua-tions were given heavy weight andhad a significant impact on theCommission’s recommendations.”

The next president, who will bein place by July 1, 2012 or sooner,will succeed Dr. Jeremy Brown,who left Edinboro in June to be-come president of Dowling Collegeon Long Island. Brown had beenpresident since July 2007, when hesucceeded Dr. Frank G. Pogue,whose tenure at the helm lasted 11years.

Dr. James D. Moran, PASSHE’sVice Chancellor for Academic andStudent Affairs, has been serving asEdinboro’s interim president andwill continue in that capacity untilthe next president takes office.

After reaching out to 463 poten-tial candidates, the Committee be-gan with a pool of 56 active presi-dential candidates who either ap-plied for or were recruited to applyfor the position. Last month, theCommittee interviewed a dozencandidates off-campus before invit-ing seven for on-campus visits andinterviews.

Shields said the Committeemembers strongly believe those rec-ommended to the Council of Trust-ees best possessed the desired pro-fessional characteristics and behav-iors most closely associated withthose outlined in the position de-scription that has been posted onEdinboro’s website.

Membership of the PresidentialSearch Committee, as outlined bypolicy established by the Pennsyl-vania State System of HigherEducation’s Board of Governors, in-cludes: trustees; a university execu-

tive; faculty members; non-instruc-tional employees; a student; analumna/us; and one current orformer president or chancellor froma comparable university as a non-voting member.

Dear PV Residents,

It’s hard to believe thatwe are approaching mid-November and snow show-ers have already come andreminded us that winter isquickly approaching. Thestudents and staff here atPV are working especiallyhard to make this the bestdistrict in all of AshtabulaCounty.

Thank you to those par-ents who attended ourdistrict’s parent teacherconferences last week andto those scheduled for thisevening. The staff waspleased to see all who at-tended and is looking for-ward to seeing more of youin the coming months.

With your help, our chil-dren will reach, and evensurpass, their academicpotential this school year.

We would also like tohighlight another specialevent which went on in thedistrict last Thursdayevening. The Farm toSchool Food Fair tookplace in our Primary Sun-shine Room and “what awonderful event.”

A special thank you goesout to those individualswho assisted in prepara-tion and organization, tothose presenters, and tothose who attended.

It was great to see andhear how local produce as-sists in not only the devel-opment of the PymatuningValley area, but how thesefine businesses help infeeding our population. Afine event, which we hopewill lead to additional par-ticipation in other waysthroughout our district.

Please look for futureevents happening through-out our district and againcome witness the talents ofour youngsters – they willtruly impress you withtheir efforts.
