Plant a Tree on Arbor Day and make a difference at Ohio State Parks Participants will receive two free nights of camping COLUMBUS – Ohioans wanting to celebrate Arbor Day this year are encouraged to donate and help plant a tree at Ohio State Parks. In return for their efforts, participants will receive two free nights of camping for each tree they donate and help plant. The Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) is encouraging park visitors to donate mature native tree saplings and help park staff and volunteers plant them in an effort to replace trees that were affected by the emerald ash borer infestation. A number of ash trees within the state parks system were removed as they posed a safety risk for visitors. The plantings will take place at four Arbor Day celebrations being held in southwest and northeast Ohio on Saturday, April 26, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The Arbor Day tree plantings will be held at four state parks — Cowan Lake, Hueston Woods and Stonelick in southwest Ohio and Portage Lakes in northeast Ohio. State park visitors will receive two free nights of camping during the 2014 season at the state park of their choice for each donated mature sapling that is at least 5 feet in height. To receive the two free nights of camping, state park visitors must help staff and volunteers plant the tree. Ohio State Parks requests that people donate native tree species, such as red maple, red oak, burr oak, yellow poplar and beech. Other volunteers and staff, as well as all necessary equipment and supplies, will be provided by each local state park. In addition to tree plantings, the celebrations will include naturalist-led activities for visitors of all ages. People interested in planting a tree on Arbor Day are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity to plant saplings that will be enjoyed by state park visitors for generations to come and improve the environment. All questions regarding local Arbor Day tree plantings should be directed to the local park offices: • Cowan Lake – 513-897-3055 • Hueston Woods – 513-523-6347 • Portage Lakes – 330-644-2220 • Stonelick State Park – 513-734-4323 ODNR ensures a balance between wise use and protection of our natural resources for the benefit of all.

He everyone! This past weekend was so sunny but it was still on the chilly side for me; and yes, I did see folks running around without coats and with shorts on. I was still bundled up in my winter coat and gloves and was chilled when I came home from running errands. I’m probably the only person around who still has their portable heater running to warm up the living room, but hey, if it keeps me comfortable, who cares? Since I’ve had these health issues there really isn’t a “Normal” for me anymore; remember that if you see me running errands or shopping this summer when the temperature is in the 90’s and I’m wearing long sleeves, long pants, gloves and sweaters. In the winter I get overheated in the house and have to go outside in the snow to cool down, and in the summer with the air conditioner running, I get chilled and have to stand in the sun to get warm. It’s too early to open our pool, but if the creatures that were in it last year are there again, count me out to help! When the pool cover was taken off I looked in the pool and almost jumped the fence as I back paddled to get away; there must have been over a dozen Big, Black, Hairy Wolf Spiders on the floor of the pool. Now I know they were dead, but seeing them in the pool made me wonder how
Now that it’s warming up a little I’m getting anxious to use the grill to make dinner, but it’s still a bit cool so I’m fixing the last of the comfort foods before summer
food season gets here. Today’s recipes are not only great comfort food; they’re easy, fast and tasty.

Vickie Marcy they got in there in the first place. There was a leaf catcher tarp and a thick winter cover on the pool and everything was held down by gallon jugs of water. It all seemed pretty snug and bug proof, but the spiders still found a way in. My husband thinks the cold made them seek shelter under the tarps and maybe the water was still a little warm, so they might have fallen in or gone into the water in hopes of staying warm. Whatever the reason, I didn’t clean out the pool, and the girls wouldn’t get into the pool until every dark speck had been removed. Does anyone out there have any idea why those spiders would end up in the bottom of a swimming pool? I’d be interested to know if this has happened to anyone else; it’s just kind of creepy! Anyway, it won’t be long until we do get the pool ready for summer fun and the warm weather is going to be here for awhile.
QUICK TIP OF THE WEEK: Sprinkle baking soda on carpets and let it set for an hour or so before vacuuming; wash all of the scatter rugs, throws, blankets, etc. with baking soda (1 cup per load) and regular laundry soap to eliminate stagnant odors, and last of all, spray the furniture with Fabric Freshener after vacuuming it thoroughly.
LEMON PUDDING CAKE 1 pkg. (2-layer size) yellow cake mix 2 pkg. (3.4 oz. each) JELL-O Lemon Flavor Instant Pudding 1/3 cup granulated sugar 2 cups cold milk 1-1/4 cups water 2 Tbsp. powdered sugar Preheat oven to 350º Prepare cake batter as directed on package; pour into greased 13x9-inch baking dish. Beat dry pudding mixes, granulated sugar, milk and water with whisk 2 min.; pour over batter in dish. Place baking dish on baking sheet. (Baking sheet will catch any sauce that might bubble over sides of dish as dessert bakes.) Bake 55 min. to 1 hour or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 20 min. (Sauce will thicken slightly as it cools.) Sprinkle with powdered sugar. Serve warm. Refrigerate leftovers. For stronger lemon flavor, add the zest and juice from 1 lemon to pudding mixture before pouring over batter in baking dish. That’s going to wrap it up for today, so until next time, stay safe and happy!

RX pills: Slippery slope to addiction and more “Are you a seer?” a longtime reader asked as he produced one of my columns from the past. I remembered that column. I had written it after hearing about a “safe” pill to rev up metabolism and “naturally” burn off fat while strengthening your muscles without diet or workout. You could slim down and tone up with no effort on your part; just swallow that pill and let it do the work! I criticized the concept of such “magic” pills and the potential for abuse... It’s sad for me to re-read that clipping today; it had no real effect. Things haven’t changed. Society still seeks the “quick fix,” and pharmaceuticals are still being researched to answer that cultural demand. Forget about changing diet or lifestyle; a pill can do the job. Forget about physical therapy and rehabilitation; a pain pill can be faster and easier. Forget about breaking an addictive habit the old-fashioned way when you can substitute yet another chemical to achieve results. Forget about conquering fears and dealing with stresses; a pill can flatten out the highs and lows of life. The last route we seem willing to try is that of effort and selfaccountability. Why should it surprise us, then, that the most common form of drug abuse among all age groups became the abuse of legal prescription drugs? And why should it surprise us that
ROSE AROUND TOWN by Rose Moore Columnist prescription drugs became the gateway to the street drugs? Or that pharmaceuticals (and over-prescription thereof) morphed and blurred the line between use and abuse and created a new and deadly epidemic? When I wrote the earlier column, I had cited statistics showing that, in our own Lake-Geauga-Ashtabula region, abuse of prescription medication was already taking lives. How could I have known it wouldn’t be long before over-use of legal pills would soon be leading its addicts to illegal street drugs that could be cheaper and easier to get? And now today we’re faced with a frightening, spreading problem with both legal and illegal drugs. And the surge of crimes and deaths and other social problems connected to these addictions are not restricted to the young or the old, the rich or the poor, the city or the suburbs or the farm... AN ATTRACTION TO prescription drugs can begin quite early in a person’s life. Young people today grow up watching elders and role models grabbing pills for every problem and every little physical twinge. They open the family medicine chest and see a beautiful array of pills of every kind, often manufactured and packaged
1916 Cleveland Waterworks Tunnel Disaster Local man’s invention saved lives then and now The growing Cleveland population of 1896 demanded a greater fresh water supply. When it was decided that a nine-foot wide tunnel would be built that would extend out into Lake Erie more than four miles, no one could have envisioned the tragedies that would occur in the construction of the tunnel. Fires, gas explosions and death by drowning or in rescuing took the lives of 37 tunnel workers by the time of its completion in 1904 after five years of construction. Most of those who died were overcome by fumes since effective gas masks had not been invented.
But a greater disaster was to occur in 1914, when a tenfoot wide tunnel was undertaken. When the workers hit a pocket of natural gas on July 24, 1914, a spark from their equipment ignited the gas and a terrific explosion followed. Knowing from past tragedies that anyone entering the tunnel to rescue the men would be overcome by fumes, the rescuers called on a man who had been working on what he called a “Breathing Device.” The man, Garrett A. Morgan, (1877-1963), was a successful black Cleveland businessman and entrepreneur.

And specifically designed to look appealing! It’s marketing! These pills could sell themselves, I think. That’s dangerous; it can only lead to trouble.” At the time, I was much younger, and I may have felt her worries were overdone. As I grew older and wiser, I began to understand her point of view, and her impulsive lesson lingers with me to this day. This woman was a prophet of what we see today. Her eyes were open to the dangers. The problems surrounding the rampant abuse of prescription medication did begin to grow and spread. And look where it has gotten us.

College affordability: Simplifying the process for Ohio’s Students SENATOR SHERROD BROWN In Your Home Town Recently, Ohio students started receiving their financial aid packages, containing information about the grants, scholarships, and loans available to them. The rising cost of college tuition means that more students will have to navigate the sometimes confusing process of applying for student loans. Many students end up graduating with costly student loans that prevent them from making other investments like buying homes, starting businesses, or going to graduate school. Some of these costs could be avoided if students and their families had clearer information about how the loan process works. Two-thirds of student loan borrowers don’t know the difference between safer, affordable federal student
loans and private student loans, which carry more risk and have higher interest rates. Private student loans often have variable interest rates which can rise at any time and they are ineligible for federal forgiveness, cancellation or income-based repayment programs. Despite these risks, most student borrowers don’t exhaust their federal loan options before choosing to take out private loans. With the average debt for 2012 Ohio college graduates totaling almost $30,000, students and their families de-
serve to have clear information about their options when it comes to paying for college. That’s why I cosponsored the Know Before You Owe Act. This legislation would require colleges to inform borrowers of any available federal student aid before issuing certification for a private loan and would require lenders to clearly state the difference between students’ financial assistance and their cost of attendance. Lenders would also have to send loan statements to borrowers every three months and submit an annual report regarding student loans to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). The information that this act provides for students and their families will help them to make informed decisions about paying for college. While preventing students from being indebted with costly loans when more affordable options are available is critical, we must also
help graduates with existing private student loan debt. Because private loans offer fewer payment options than federal loans, many graduates find themselves overwhelmed by their monthly payments. My Refinancing Education Funding to Invest for the Future Act (REFI) addresses this problem by authorizing the Treasury Department to incentivize banks to refinance private student loans. Lowering the interest rates on private student loans would make students’ payments more affordable at no cost to taxpayers. Higher education creates economic opportunity for Ohio’s students but student loan debt can create an unnecessary burden that can follow them through adulthood. By reducing their student loan debt through clear information and lowered interest rates, we can ensure that Ohio’s graduates have a fair shot at the future.
A victory for American workers BY ROB PORTMAN U.S. Senator I believe in the power of expanded exports to spur the creation of good jobs, but at the same time, it is critical that we enforce the international rules of trade. When our competitors manipulate markets, engage in illegal dumping, or raise barriers to trade, the United States must take action on behalf of Ohio workers, farmers, and service providers. Enforcing our trade laws is not a partisan issue. It is a jobs issue and I am proud to stand with the people I represent when their jobs are threatened by the illegal trade practices of our competitors. In 2011, I became aware of a scheme by the Chinese government to artificially inflate the price of rare earth materials, critical components in the kind of hightech manufacturing Ohio is known for. Companies like GrafTech, a maker of graphite products in the Cleveland
costs skyrocket, putting sales and jobs at risk. I joined with Senator Brown to demand that the Obama Administration take action to protect American workers from China’s unfair and illegal practices, including by filing a case in the World Trade Organization against the government of China.

I’ve also worked to have China declared a currency manipulator for its deliberate efforts to keep the value of its currency artificially low, disadvantaging American exports. These enforcement actions are critical to Ohio workers. We know that properly negotiated and enforced trade agreements support millions of jobs in industries from agriculture to high-tech manufacturing. In 2012, more than $2.8 billion worth of Ohio-manufactured goods were exported to China alone, and a quarter of Ohio manufacturing jobs are now supported by exports. Data shows that every $1 billion in U.S. goods exports supports 5,400 American jobs, while every $1 billion of U.S. services exports supports another 4,000. In today’s global economy, it is the tearing down of trade barriers, not building them up, that

by JOHN PARKER Ashtabula County Farm Bureau If you read David Marrison’s column about the awards given at the recent Dairy Banquet, you should have been impressed by the accomplishments of local dairy farmers. When we have top dairy herds in the state locally, that says we have dairy farmers doing everything right. It is obvious that the Boggs Family know how to give their cow’s excellent care. Or when a herd like Bossy’s Way, that is also tops in production, can get over 50,000 pounds of milk in one lactation from one cow, that also reflects top care. Then the Wilson Brothers with high milk quality in the county tells you they put a lot of effort into making sure their milk exceeds all quality requirements. When young people are interested in dairy farming, that is a good sign. Congratulations go to Deanna Comp for being chosen as Dairy Princess in 2014. Also to Sydney Millard for an essay that won the dairy contest and to Kathy Eldred for winning the Struna Memorial Award. Compliments need to go to all these folks and others, such as the Coltman Family that received the dairy family award of the year, for their efforts in outstanding cow care and for producing an abundance of excellent quality milk. Let’s look at what it takes to get a top producing herd. Every attention to detail is important. Keeping the cows comfortable with an adequate, well-balanced diet is a top priority. To do this, they have access to well-bedded stalls. Feed is balanced with adequate protein, vitamins and minerals as well as the right amount of roughage, either in what is called a total mixed ration with roughage mixed with grain or with hay or silage fed separately. Veterinarian services are used on a regular basis to keep cows healthy and check pregnancies. Good feet and
legs are important so the cows can get around comfortably. Hoof trimming is done when necessary to keep the cows comfortable. Udder health is essential. Special steps are taken to keep them clean and prevent mastitis. This step is essential in producing quality milk. Regular checks are made of the herd at least every day and usually more often to check for any problems with each cow. Someone familiar with the herd will walk among the cows, checking them carefully. These are practices followed by most dairy herds in the county. Cows kept in tie stalls or stanchions are a bit easier to watch because there are usually fewer of them in the herd and someone usually walks by them several times a day. It is one thing to just say “dairy farmers give their cow’s excellent care” and another thing to explain what that involves. Practices that I have mentioned are some of the things that go into excellent cow care. Research form Wisconsin and other states says that both large and small herds provide good care for their cows. Some folk believe the smaller herds get better care but research does not support that idea. Dairy farmers with herds of all sizes do a good job. Local dairy farmers and those across the nation do a remarkable job of getting outstanding production from their cows. Today they are getting more than twice the production from fewer than half the number of cows. They do this on fewer acres and with a smaller carbon footprint. So enjoy a healthy glass of milk or dish of ice cream to day! (Parker is an independent agricultural writer.)

GAZETTE NEWSPAPERS • WEEK OF WEDNESDAY, APRIL 9, 2014 • 5
Horse owners may be liable for equine trespass Letters to the Editor Q: I board my 10-year-old daughter ’s horse, Roamer, at a private boarding stable. We visit the horse for my daughter to ride and take lessons, but the stable owners handle the horse’s care and turn him out for free exercise. If Roamer gets out of the pasture and damages property belonging to the stable owner’s neighbor, could I be held responsible? A: If the horse gets loose and runs down the highway or onto neighboring property, this is called running “at large” under Ohio law, which says, “No person, who is the owner or keeper of horses, mules, cattle, bison, sheep, goats, swine, llamas, alpacas, or geese, shall permit them to run at large in the public road, highway, street, lane, or alley, or upon unenclosed land, or cause the animals to be herded, kept, or detained for the purpose of grazing on premises other than those owned or lawfully occupied by the owner or keeper of the animals.” According to Ohio law, “owner” means the person who lawfully owns the horse. “Keeper” could refer to the boarding stable or any other such place that has custody and control of the horse. In your case, you are the owner and the boarding stable likely would be considered a keeper of Roamer. If Roamer gets loose at the stables and runs onto the neighbor’s property, he would be “running at large,” which would be a violation of Ohio law. This means that the neighboring property owner can sue you (Roamer’s owner) as well as the boarding stable (his keeper) for any property damage. However, the neighbor will have to prove that you were negligent. Since you are only at the stable when your daughter rides Roamer and you have no control over when and where Roamer is turned out at pasture, or the handling of Roamer during turn-out, or the condition of the pasture fence or gate, it will be difficult for the neighbor to prove you were negligent. Q: Roamer’s former owner told us when we bought him that he is a Houdini when he is outside and that he often got out of their pasture. Is this something I should tell the boarding stable where we keep him now? A: Yes. You have a duty to let the stable owner or manager know that Roamer needs extra care when he is turned out so that he does not get loose. To avoid being negligent, you must exercise due care. If Roamer gets loose again, it
can be argued you knew or should have known this might happen.
Q: Could I be charged with a criminal offense if Roamer gets loose and causes damage? A: Only if you are deemed to be “reckless.” Ohio law states that “whoever recklessly violates” the at-large law “is guilty of a 4th degree misdemeanor.” To be reckless is more than being negligent. Reckless conduct means something was intentionally done or something that should have been done was ignored. The facts of Roamer’s escape would have to show that you intentionally allowed Roamer to run at large or personally knew of conditions that would allow him to get loose and you ignored them. The maximum potential penalty for a 4th degree misdemeanor is 30 days in jail and a fine of $250, plus any property damages caused by your horse. For negligence, you can only be held liable for money damages in a civil lawsuit. Q: Can I get insurance for any damage Roamer might cause? A: Yes. Generally you can have coverage for this type of liability under your homeowner’s policy, but do not just assume you have coverage. Contact your insurance agent and make sure your policy covers any damages Roamer might cause to property and to third parties. This coverage should be broad, and not just for an “at large” event. You should consider getting “individual horse owner’s liability coverage,” and it should include coverage for legal defense costs as well as damages to persons and property. If your homeowner’s insurance does not cover this or if you feel the coverage is not adequate, there are insurance companies in Ohio that provide specific equine policies. Also, people who operate boarding stables, give lessons or conduct training should have commercial equine insurance coverage, so it would also be wise to check with your boarding stable to see if the owners have this coverage. This “Law You Can Use” column was provided by the Ohio State Bar Association. It was prepared by Linda C. Ashar, Attorney at Law, Vermilion. Articles appearing in this column are intended to provide broad, general information about the law. Before applying this information to a specific legal problem, readers are urged to seek advice from an attorney.
Help United Way feed Lake County MENTOR - United Way of Lake County is asking for help to Feed Lake County as the need for food locally continues to grow. They will host a public drop off Saturday, April 5 from 9 to 11:30 a.m. at their food warehouse located next to Office Max by Great Lakes Mall in Mentor. On Saturday, April 26 from 9 to 11 a.m., Laketran will have a "Fill-A-Bus" at the Willoughby Public Square where individuals are asked to bring food items to fill a bus. United Way of Lake County's annual spring food drive, Feed Lake County, of-
ficially kicked off March 1 and will run until mid-April. During this time, they ask companies, organizations and individuals to help run food drives to help more than 50 local food pantries distribute meals to those in need. So far, more than 60 companies and organizations have signed up to help run food drives for Feed Lake County. This year's goal is to raise 40,000 pounds of food and $40,000 in cash. Companies are asked to consider organizing a food drive. For more information on how to help, visit, www. UWLC.org. In 2013, 2-1-1 reported
8,342 calls for food. This was more than 3,000 calls for food in 2012 and nearly 5,000 more calls for food in 2011. One in every six residents in Lake County struggles with hunger. The most requested food items are boxed or canned meals, spaghetti sauce, pasta, peanut butter, jelly, cereal, canned fruit and tuna. How to help: Organize a food drive and then donate the food items and money collected to United Way of Lake County. For more information, contact Gayle Sikula at (440) 639.1082 or Gsikula@uwlc.org.
Make an individual monetary or food donation to United Way of Lake County and send to 9285 Progress Parkway, Mentor. Volunteer. Those interested in helping sort food items can contact Rich Thiedemann at rthiedemann@businessright.com. All food items collected during Feed Lake County will be distributed to more than 50 food pantries at the end of April. The money collected during Feed Lake County will be used to make food purchases throughout 2014 to help restock food pantries later in the year.
Vote for Joyce, May 6 is the Republican primary election, absentee voting has begun and in my opinion re-electing Congressman Joyce is the right choice. He has voted to defund and repeal Obamacare. He has helped to reduce discretionary spending and has Washington on a budget for the first time I four years. Compare that to his opponent who voted against balancing the state budget, against a $2.7 Billion tax cut for Ohioans and included earmarks in the capital budget. Please join me in re-electing Congressman Dave Joyce this May. State Central Committee Woman Melissa Pope Saybrook Township
Dispatchers recognized for service LAKE COUNTY - Each year, the second full week of April is dedicated to the 200,000-plus men and women who serve as public safety telecommunicators. It was first conceived by Patricia Anderson of the Contra Costa County (Calif.) Sheriff ’s Office in 1981 and was observed only at that agency for three years. Members of the Virginia and North Carolina chapters of the Association of Public-Safety Communications Officials (APCO) became involved in the mid-1980s. By the early 1990s, the national APCO organization convinced Congress of the need for a formal proclamation. Rep. Edward J. Markey (D-Mass.) introduced what became H.J. Res. 284 to create “National Public Safety Telecommunicator Week.” Public safety dispatchers provide a critical service to the community and all emergency personnel while performing their duties with integrity, quality, accountability and respect. As the first person on the scene of nearly every crime, fire and medical emergency, the 9-1-1 dispatcher continues to be an invaluable resource for agencies of all sizes. The Lake County Sheriff ’s Office applauds the hardworking men and women of not only our Central Communications Center, but all dispatchers in Lake County and throughout the nation.
Mumps outbreak highlights need to stay current on immunizations
COLUMBUS –As the Ohio Department of Health (ODH) continues to investigate a growing number of mumps cases in the Central Ohio, the agency reminds Ohioans that vaccinations are the most effective way to prevent illness from vaccine-preventable diseases, including mumps. Mumps is a contagious disease that is spread person to person through the saliva or mucus from the mouth, nose, or throat of an infected person, usually when that person coughs, sneezes, or talks. Given this outbreak, to ensure that you and those around you are protected from mumps, ODH encourages individuals who are considered at high risk of mumps – those who have not received any doses of measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) and those who have received only one dose of MMR – to get vaccinated. “Immunization is the most effective way to protect yourself and your family from vaccine-preventable diseases,” said ODH State Epidemiologist Dr. Mary DiOrio. “In addition, to reduce the spread of infectious diseases, such as mumps, wash your hands often, cover your cough, and stay home when you are ill.” ODH supports the vaccine recommendations set forth by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) and the Centers for Disease Control and PrevenPAINESVILLE – The zens audit of boards of tribute to the demise of our Coalition is a grassroots, tion (CDC).

First Church holds annual spring luncheon PAINESVILLE - First Church, Congregational, in downtown Painesville, will host its Annual Spring Salad Luncheon Friday, April 11 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. This luncheon has been an annual spring tradition for more than 35 years. The luncheon features homemade salads, soup, chili and desserts at the price of $7 per person. The public is welcome. No reservations are needed, and takeout is available. Parking is available behind the church in the lots off Sterling Avenue and Liberty Street. Also continuing is the church Lenten series of suppers and programs: “The Way: Walking in the Footsteps of Jesus” by Adam Hamilton and will be led by Rev. Tom Cofer, senior pastor at First Church Congregational. The remaining schedule is: April 9 - Chili Supper at 6:15 p.m., program at 7 p.m. Meals will be provided by various church groups, including the Youth Group, the Board of Ministries, Men's Fellowship, the Board of Missions, the Board of Evangelism and Boy Scout Troop 68. There will be a freewill offering for the meals. According to Rev Cofer, “Lent is a special time of year when we intentionally focus on growing our spiritual life.” “The Way: Walking in the Footsteps of Jesus” explores the life and ministry of Jesus. Using videos shot on location, author Hamilton visits the Jordan River where Jesus was baptized and the wilderness where he was tempted. Hamilton covers the ruins of ancient Capernaum, where Jesus healed the sick, and he climbs the mountain where Jesus gave his famous sermon. “Through the program, participants sail across the Sea of Galilee where Jesus calmed the wind and the waves, visit the last remaining community of Samaritans in the world. And through the program, participants visit Jerusalem where Jesus spent his final days,” Rev. Cofer said. The church is at 22 Liberty St. on the square in Painesville.

employees to manufacture men and women’s clothing. All the equipment was designed and made by Morgan. The man was full of ideas and was limitless in his creativity. Taking a completely different direction, he opened the G. A. Morgan Hair Refining Company in 1913 after accidentally discovering a hair straightening solution in 1905. His new company sold a complete line of hair care products to an ever demanding market. During Morgan’s years of product development and establishing Cleveland businesses, he was well aware of the progress and disaster setbacks of the Cleveland water tunnel on Lake Erie. He began to work on a safety device that would allow rescuers to enter an area filled with gas or smoke wearing a safety mask that would supply fresh air. Others had manufactured gas masks but they were difficult to put on and unreliable. By 1912, Morgan was still
From page 3 perfecting his “Breathing Device,” but, by 1914, he had it patented and was had begun manufacturing the apparatus in his National Safety Device Company. Marketing of the apparatus was being done through demonstrations by Morgan as he entered a building he had filled with smoke or gas and returned unharmed after twenty minutes. Two years later, the gas explosion 250 feet below Lake Erie occurred in the construction of the ten foot wide water tunnel. Thirtytwo men were trapped in the tunnel. Two rescuers had already entered the tunnel and never returned. Someone remembered seeing Morgan’s demonstration and recalled the “Breathing Machine.” Morgan was awakened in the middle of the night and asked to test his apparatus in the gas filled tunnel. Quickly, he and his brother, Frank, went to the scene with four of the masks and with two, most likely, fearful volunteers, entered
the deep tunnel. Most of those waiting at the beginning of the tunnel were very skeptical of the breathing masks and never expected Morgan and the three others. But then they heard noises within the tunnel and shouts went up as Morgan appeared first carrying on his back one of the overcome early rescuers. Morgan’s brother, Frank, was next to come out carrying another early rescuer. Morgan’s successful return convinced the skeptics and others finally joined in entering the tunnel with the gas masks bringing back all the bodies of those who had died. In all, Morgan made four trips into the tunnel to retrieve the workers. Although the mask was a great improvement over what had previously been used, the long exposure to the gas left lingering health issues with Morgan the rest of his life. The Plain Dealer reporters, as well as others, were on hand to record the story. The photo accompanying the
CALENDAR April 19 Conneaut: Boy Scout Car Wash/ Pancake Breakfast
story read, “Morgan Bringing First Man Out Of Tunnel.” The exposure in the press of Morgan’s mask made headline news and calls from fire, rescue and mining groups brought a great demand for Morgan’s new invention. Morgan’s gas mask was eventually improved and used by the U.S. Army during World War II by our soldiers. Garrett Morgan died in 1963 and is buried in the beautiful, expansive, historical LakeView Cemetery on Euclid Avenue, Cleveland. He will be remembered not only for saving lives through his invention of the gas mask but also his invention of the three light traffic signal. Morgan’s life is well recorded in libraries, books, and through many websites. Many schools have been named after him. In 1997, the Garrett A. Morgan Technology and Transportation Futures Program was established at the Garrett Morgan School of Science in Cleveland.

Fifteen companies expected to invest $87.2 million COLUMBUS – During its monthly meeting, the Ohio Tax Credit Authority (TCA) reviewed economic development proposals brought to the board by JobsOhio and its regional partners. Fifteen projects have been approved for assistance that are set to create 664 jobs and retain 2,012 jobs statewide.

Ltd. of Willoughby which plans to expand its operations. The company expects to create 20 full-time positions, generating $1 million in additional annual payroll, and retaining $5 million in existing payroll.

After 50 years, radio station changes name WILLOUGHBY – Lake County-based WELW relaunched its identity as Integrity Radio WINT March 31. This consummated a weekend of celebrating the station’s 50 years as WELW Radio 1330am, and is part of a transformation for the radio station. “We have always been very proud of who we are and what we do,” said Ray Somich, president of local owner Spirit Broadcasting LLC, “and we have had a number of engineers helping us to find ways that we can serve more people in a larger geographic area. They now have helped us finalize plans to significantly improve our coverage on 1330AM, and also add a new simulcast on an FM frequency.” About 300 special guests attended a 50th anniversary celebration March 28, including about 100 past and prior WELW staff members. Station manager Ron Somich adds that history will help propel the future. “There are so many people who have worked or still work in radio and TV in Cleveland and across the country, who have their roots at this Lake County station,” he said. “We have been overwhelmed on how these people still fondly remember their years here.”
