GVIS closing Orwell”s Thrift Store by Sept. 17

BY DORIS COOK GAZETTE NEWSPAPERS

ORWELL - A familiar business in Orwell Village, the Thrift Store on East Main St. is closing by Sept. 17. Operated as an outreach program of the Grand Valley Interfaith Services, a meeting of the GVIS member churches in Grand Valley in late August ended with the closure decision. The GVIS will continue to actively serve the Grand Valley communities, but because of low sales and operating expenses rising, the store is closing. The Thrift Store has sold and donated clothing along with household items to community families for nearly 40 years. Pastor Laurie Krieg, minister of the Colebrook and Windsor United Methodist Churches said, “The store has not being doing well financially for the past year or two. It used to make money to at least meet expenses of operations. Today it barely can pay for the $600 to$700 a month including rent, utilities, heat, phone service and other expenses. The decision to close was base on finances. The churches in our GVIS have also given money to help with expenses and so we are closing it down.” Churches as members of the GVIS include Grand Valley Nazarene, Orwell, Colebrook and Windsor United Methodist, St. Mary Catholic Church and Orwell North Presbyterian Church. Pastors of these churches plus lay delegates make up the GVIS board. Jan Smith is board president. Rome

Andover Public Library in process of selling donated house BY LAUREN SIPPLE GAZETTE NEWSPAPERS ANDOVER - Andover Public Library will soon be handing over the deed and title of a donated house they own to architectural restorer, David Michael Sajna. According to Susan Hill, director of Andover Public Library, there was a bid on the house made at the recent library board meeting, with an appraisal made in the amount of $75,000. Hill said Sajna is the perfect person to buy it, being that he often walks around the Andover area and because he owns a busi-

ness on the public square. Sajna said he plans to first start restoring the outer structure of the house back to the original 1880s design and then restore the inside, using the lower level as offices for business. “I’m going to restore using correct architectural parts,” Sajna said. Hill said the library has been trying to see the house for a long time with signs out front and advertisement in the paper. Now that they’ve sold it, the proceeds will be a huge benefit to the Andover Public Library. In the meantime, Ando-

ver Public Library board president, Don Eyring and local lawyer, David McCombs are in the process of finalizing the sale. They are taking steps to be sure everything is followed correctly for a public agency. Sajna is originally from Westlake and owns several historical properties in Cherry Valley and Andover with collections of all kinds of architectural pieces at his properties. The house Sajna bought was given to the library by Dr. Linn Newman, a retired dentist in Andover.

Andover UMC Camphor Mission Team shares their experiences BY DORIS COOK GAZETTE NEWSPAPERS ANDOVER - Eleven members of Andover United Methodist and Andover Christian Church plus two from Mentor United Methodist Church recently returned from a 10-day mission trip to the United Methodist Churches supported Camphor Mission Station located in Liberia in West Africa. A half dozen of the team on Aug. 20 shared their life changing experiences working with the Liberian villagers at a small gathering program held at Andover United Methodist Church. Associate Pastor Jason Hockran, one of the adult leaders on the mission team, showed a collection of photos taken with the mission

station officials and villagers who benefit from the mission work at Camphor. Hockran said that the East Ohio United Methodist Church Conference and other groups monetarily support the Camphor Mission Station, which today is comprised of a school, medical clinic, church and other buildings. “This was my second trip to Camphor and I will plan to go back again. For some of us it was a first time to travel to Africa and share our faith with those people,” Hockran noted. Andover UMC member, Karen Creed speaking at the informal gathering on Aug. 20 said the trip was “life changing” for her. It was her first trip overseas

Letters To The Editor MINUTE FOR MISSION This is an open letter to concerned Christians in Grand Valley: More many years, Grand Valley Interfaith Services has served a variety of functions in the area regarding the needs of people with limited income and/or facing some sort of disaster, such as a house fire. Interfaith Services meets from time to time, inviting representative of area churches and their pastors to participate. It also host some community wide church services such as a community Thanksgiving worship or Maundy Thursday or Good Friday Services. The Grand Valley Thrift Shop at 509 E. Main Street is a branch of the mission of the GVIS also. Historically, the income from the sale of used clothing was greater than the expenses of keeping the building heated in the winter and cool in the summer, plus rent,

water and sewer and other utilities. That profit was then used by GVIS to assist families or individuals in need. At a recent meeting of GVIS, a decision was made to close the Thrift Shop completely. A deadline of Sept. 17 was set for emptying the buildings. This will leave Grand Valley without a place to go for central location of household goods, clothes, shoes and many other things. In the spirit of full disclosure, I am the owner of the property where the Thrift Shop lives. The rent was established at $250 for the building that once upon a time was the East Orwell Post Office. When the three bay garage mmediately north of the Thrift Shop became available and the managers of the Thrift Shop felt they could use the added room, arrangements were made to increase the monthly rent by $100, totaling $350 monthly for both spaces. In all the time that the Thrift Shop has been at 509 E. Main Street, the rent was not increased one time. If the GVIS wants to move its Thrift Shop to a location

that might be provided for free or that has lower rent and/or more space, I would certainly be understanding. However, GVIS has decided to close the Thrift Shop and it made no plans for a central location for things to help out families in Grand Valley and I say this is wrong. Further I urge the leadership of GVIS to call a special meeting for Sept. 7 to discuss the decision, consider changing it and find strategies to make the Thrift Shop thrive again. I hope this open letter to the citizens of GV, (Many who attend churches and are aware of the many needs of this community in tough economic times,) will be given prayer consideration and cause the GVIS to RECONSIDER its decision. Wishing the Peace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with all who read this letter, Chris Hiestan, Orwell Member of the Rome Presbyterian Church

By 1999 Jason Emerine was producing wine, picking up the trade he had learned from his grandfather as a young child. In 2003 the Emerines opened a small wine tasting room and in 2006 they expanded a large space for the public as well. One of the most unique items Emerine Estates Winery has to offer are their wine shakes, an original product that looks and tastes like ice cream, but is made by fermenting cream using a 7.5% alcohol wine. Bridget Emerine said the idea came about because of her husband’s determination to ferment anything and because he enjoys creating unique products, which led him to experiment with her

Andover Community Center nears one year anniversary of services to seniors BY LAUREN SIPPLE GAZETTE NEWSPAPERS ANDOVER –Andover Community Center is about to embark on their one year anniversary since opening their doors at the fellowship hall on South Main Street. According to Program Coordinator Cindy Boettcher, it’s been a rewarding profession. She admits that at first she wasn’t sure it was for her but has over time really come to enjoy it. “I just love helping people, loving on them, just having a good time,” Boettcher said. Her job includes responsibilities as receptionist, counselor, lunch server and more, which she is glad to have because of the diversity. Andover Community Center first opened their doors last year, unofficially on October 27 and then a grand opening on November 24. Since then they have been open regularly on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m.

The center also regularly serves a noon lunch, which is donation only if you are an Ashtabula area resident over the age of 60. Anyone that is not a resident or over 60 is required to pay $3. Boettcher said the Andover Community Center came about because of senior citizens in the area wanting a place to connect with the community. From there through the contributions of a small group of people, assistance from Country Neighbor Program Inc., as well as help from Andover United Methodist Church, the center came together. Previously Boettcher said there used to be a center in Andover that worked with Country Neighbor Program Inc., the same program they currently use to offer different services to the community. These services include community services such as emergency assistance and transportation, educational programs, health services, nutritional programs, older adult services like home delivered meals, laundry

service and prescription assistance, paperwork assistance, caregiver assistance and socialization/support in areas like support groups, Bible studies and recreational trips. Around 100 people are registered at Andover Community Center and about 30-40 people come regularly for lunch and activities. They also have numerous volunteers that come to play music, paint and create crafts with the seniors, as well as a woman who comes in from University Hospitals to do monthly health screenings or perform cooking demonstrations. Boettcher said that anytime volunteers are interested in coming in to show seniors fresh ideas of something they’re interested in, whether it be cards, gardening, sewing, etc the center would be glad to have them. “I’m always looking for someone with different ideas—we need different ideas, Boettcher said. She also emphasizes how she wants people who are lonely to have a place to go. “That’s what we’re here for, to make [people] feel

Bingham taught English and speech (public speaking) for over 20 years at Calvary Baptist Christian Academy in Meadville, PA. “During the last few years of teaching I developed a sincere desire to write. Lion’s Awakening, my first novel, was published by WestBow Press in the fall of 2013. Perfect Timing and Sufficient Strength came out in 2014 and 2015, respectively. All three contemporary Christian novels are set in Pennsylvania, but in various places throughout the state. Together, they form the Pennsylvania Series, “ she said. Bingham and husband,

Mark recently celebrated their 34th wedding anniversary. They have two adult children, a daughter Carolyn residing in Houston, Texas, and son Kyle and his wife Rachel with the Bingham’s first grandchild living in Tampa, Florida. Besides writing, Bingham is an herb gardener, enjoys scrapbooking, greeting-card making, and traveling to visit family. She also is an avid cook. The Bingham’s are active in church work. They recently visited for their anniversary the Creation Museum and the Ark Encounter in Kentucky. Bingham says she is currently researching for her next book, a novel planning to do the entire first draft in November during National Novel Writing Month as

part of the NaNoWriMo Contest. It will be set again in Pennsylvania, but not present day and instead is in the waning month of World War 2. Bingham said it takes place and has a historical basis on the Keystone Ordinance Works, a TNTproducing plant in Geneva, Pa. Come meet and greet Meadville, Pa. author Cindy Bingham on Sept. 10. “Until recently I never knew the place existed but am eager to create a story around this historical Pa. site,” said the author. Bingham will have copies of her published books including Lion’s Awakening, Perfect Timing and Sufficient Strength at the program. For more information on the author program call 440-293-6066.

to a church related mission station. “The people we met and helped could not thank us enough it seemed,” Creed said referring to the projects including building a new playground at the mission school. Wearing a bright colored print top, which was made by a tailor at the Camphor Mission Station, Creed shared her experiences. She talked about the work projects done over the 10 days that went all to quickly. “I remember one day throwing raisins out from some snack I was eating. I don’t like raisins, but to these Liberian residents it was food and here I was tossing it out,” she remarked.

Creed said that the children asked questions about life in America, far different than a Liberian has to deal with on every day. “One child told me he was hungry and thirsty and asked to please take him to American. That brought tears in my eyes,” she added. Creed brought back samples of the beautiful tie dyed prints material that the Liberian women use to sew their clothes plus a few hand woven reed baskets. For Pastor Hockran’s daughter Sophie, this trip was a “first” for her, too. “I’ve always wanted to go to the Camphor Mission Station and finally got to go this past July,” said Sophie. All the mission team members from the several

churches raised their own money to pay their expenses for the trip, she noted. “I’m blessed to be able to go on the trip and want to go back again to help these people,” Sophie commented. Isaac Orahood, another teenager went on the team with his father, Scott Orahood. Scott Orahood said, “The children were fascinated by the size of my hands and as we worked on the playground equipment, they’d press their hand in mine.” The team was overseas on July 4th, an American holiday. The children at the school that day, surprised the team by singing their country’s national anthem and listened to some U.S. history shared by team

members. Gabe Gainor from the Mentor UM Church related that on his visit to Camphor he combined it not only to help the villagers, but used his construction of two soccer field wood benches as part of his Eagle Scout project here. Gainor’s mom, Vicky also went on the team to Liberia. “They had no benches at their soccer field, which was pretty rough compared to our soccer fields (at U.S. fields). The people we met were so grateful we come to help them. I took over about 100 bracelets my sister made and gave them away to the children and some adults. It was something for then to remember us,” said Gabe. During their mission

overseas, the church team had a day or two to visit Monrovia, the capital of Liberia on a tour. Other repair projects included fixing damaged areas of the school house at the Camphor Mission Station, said Pastor Hockron. Stormy weather in the Camphor station area in May took its toll on the school. The Andover and Mentor team members all stayed in special guest houses at the grounds. Hockran noted that the water system

at the mission station is now all filtered. The guest houses also have new kitchen sinks so the Liberian women who cook now have updated equipment. Members of the team included Karen Creed, Austin Limestoll, Leah Snell, Sophie and Pastor Jason Hockran, Isaac and Scott Orahood, Malynda Russell of Andove UMC; Taylor Lipinsky of Andover Christian Church; and Vicky and Gabe Gainor from Mentor UM Church.

Vicky Gainor and son, Gabe talk about their time spent in Liberia and impressions they brought home of life in Africa compared to home.

AUDITIONS who rents the musical and rights for shows. Sabeh is glad, because she knows it will be funny, as well as the fact that she loves pirates. “I live everything piratical,” said Sabeh. Sabeh also said that the musical has nothing to do with the Disney film but is about a group of pirates, led by a captain named Esmeralda, who helps recover stolen gold from other pirates with the help of a crew who disguise themselves as a terrible theatrical troupe. The entire cast consists of 23 ensemble roles of 19 supporting actors, as well as three main characters. Those auditioning are asked to prepare song that showcases the voice of the

singer, as well as cold read a section of the musical script. In her opinion, Sabeh said it helps if the students and adults auditioning choose a song that its best attuned to their voice, as well as if they look into the musical or pirate theme in advance. Alongside her to put together the musical includes Choreographer Lynn Sabeh, Overseeing Musical Director Maribith Miltner, Music Director Taylor Peel, Stage Manager C. J. Lapert, Publicist Josh Woodard, Costumer Jenn Quelhorst, Set Designer Venie Hensil, Set Designer Assistant Betsy Paul and Head Carpenter Casey Quelorst. Most of all Sabeh said

From page 1A she is excited to be working with kids and adults, as well as to see particular parts of the musical come together. “I’m looking forward to [the] opening because it will have a fun pirate comradery, as well as some really cool special effects,” said Sabeh. This is Sabeh’s first time as director but in the past she produced several shows, was stage manager, as well as costumer. PV’s Veteran’s Memorial Performing Arts Center has hosted shows for the past ten years in the building, with its 733 seat capacity auditorium, lobby, box office, restrooms, school access areas, prop room, dressing rooms, storage areas and the option

By DORIS COOK Gazette Newspapers ORWELL-The WollamGrand Valley Insurance Agency has been a part of the area business community since 1937. The agency owners, Shawn and Laura Holmes are approaching the firm’s 80th year mark serving clients. The insurance company was started in 1937 in one of Orwell’s historic downtown business blocks built in 1895 on E. Main St. It was built next to a downtown mercantile building owned by Boughton & Ford Co. of Burton, Ohio, according to early history records. The insurance agency was founded by the late Larry O. Benton, then continued operating by his son, Larry F. Benton. Jim Dodd of Orwell joined the firm, and in 1979 the two men renamed it Wollam-Grand Valley Insurance Agency as it is still known today. Dodd’s son-in-law, Shawn Holmes joined the agency in 1994. Shawn and Laura Holmes purchased part of the agency in 1996 and the balance in 2002 at Mr. Dodd’s retirement. The insurance related services offered by the Orwell firm are varied. They include autos, home, life, health, and business protection as well as financial plans. “We are a local independent agency operating today under the same philosophies and concepts as our founders,” Holmes said. “One of our achievements has been to recruit and hire additional staff with their primary focus being building additional commercial accounts. The first new staff member hired is Randy Jackson of Geneva. He is a graduate of Thiel College. Though he is familiar with many industries, Jackson is specializing in automotive and recreational programs. The owners since have added Jessica Pavlic as customer service representative and Melissa Cole, who is getting licensed and moving to an agent position. Holmes said the company’s website is a continuous work in progress. The owners have advanced their website using Facebook, Twitter,

LinkedIn, and Pinterest. The agency has added its client base to include school districts in Trumbull, Ashtabula, Geauga, Portage and Mahoning counties particularly with the consortium known as SORS (Schools of Ohio Risk Sharing Authority). He noted the firm is writing business with clients throughout Northeast Ohio and into western Pennsylvania areas. “Our quality primary carriers are Westfield Insurance Co., Auto Owners, Safeco, Progressive, ASI and Foremost. We’ve been working with Westfield for 40 plus years and Auto Owners for 25 years,” he said Holmes credits his office staff with the firm’s growth success seen over the years. “Today we know people’s lifestyles and family needs are changing for insurance coverage. Our firm’s clients have changed immensely over the past 10 or 15 years with crop production more dominant. We are here to help and value the longstanding relationships with our clients,” Holmes said. Holmes is a board member and past president of the Trumbull County Independent Agents Association, on the TCIAA Board for 20 years and is a certified insurance counselor. “We will be starting our referral program up in the fourth quarter this year. Clients can find this information on our website at wollamgv. com,” he said. The owners reside in Roaming Shores Village with their two daughters. Daughter Bailey graduated from college. She is in the Graduate Development Program at Westfield Insurance Co. where she will transition into the Agriculture Department. Their younger daughter, Allie is an 11th grader at Grand Valley High School in Orwell. Shawn is active in community related organizations. He is a former trustee of Grand Valley Public Library board. For any insurance information services please call the agency office at 440-437-6162 or visit the firm’s website at wollamgv.com or Facebook.
