Get Involved in the Fun at Garrettsville Summerfest
An Environmentalist’s Journey through Hiram College’s James H. Barrow Field Station Hiram – Starting this month environmentalist Carol Agnew will lead nature enthusiasts on a series of intimate journeys through the woodlands of the James H. Barrow Field Station. Agnew and other outdoor explorers will create nature journals with sketches and descriptions of their treks. Water fowl, trees, turtles, summer plants and their pollinators and other outdoor riches will provide intricate and often colorful content for the journal pages. Open to the public, the nature journaling workshops are held at the 550-acre field station located at 11305 Wheeler Road, Garrettsville. “Attendees don’t have to bring artistic talent, but rather
a love and curiosity for nature,” says Agnew, noting that journaling captures the treasures of the field station with a personal perspective and touch. Participants can join one, a few or all of the nature journaling outings, the next will be held June 18, July 9 and 16, August 6 and 13, and September 3 and 10. Outdoor enthusiasts, age 12 through adults, should bring a blank mixed-media journal and permanent fine point marker. The cost per workshop is $15. Those who register for six Sunday sessions will receive one free. To register, contact Agnew at canneagnew@gmail. com or 216-816-4305.
Duke’s K9 Dash N’ Splash Holds Grand Opening Stacy Turner | Contributing Reporter
Mantua - You may have noticed a new pool and dock complex on State Route 82 near Roundup Lake in Mantua. But you won’t find any bikini-clad beauties lounging by the tranquil blue water. This is no ordinary swimming pool. The only bathing beauties you’ll find are fun-loving, dock-diving athletes -- local dogs and their owners practicing the sport of dock diving. The new business is a dock diving practice facility where people, along with their furry friends, can learn about the sport of dock jumping or dock diving, where dogs compete in jumping for distance or height. According to Wikipedia, dock jumping first appeared at the Incredible Dog Challenge, an event sponsored by pet food manufacturer Purina in 1997. Since 2000, dockjumping events have been held in the United States and around the world. Locally, Duke’s K9 Dash ‘N Splash is a dock diving practice facility for dogs and their owners to learn about the dog sport of dock diving at their 40 foot pool and dock. In addition, they also offer K9 swimming, workshops, and national competitions at their Mantua location. Duke’s K9 Dash ‘N Splash owner Michelle Filler explained, “After our son, Zakary, and our Belgian Malinois, Duke, (pictured) fell in love with dock diving we began to look for facilities where we could go to practice and learn more about dock diving.” Upon investigation, they learned that the closest facility was an hour and a half away, which
West Woods Wednesdays

That’s because the last Wednesdays of June through September, 4 to 7 p.m., The West Woods will be your one-stop shop for all your mid-week, farm-fresh needs!

Approved vendors are already excited to provide honey items, herbal salves and teas, vegetables, maple syrup, bakery, hand-sewn market bags, handmade

prompted them to open up a facility closer to home. In looking for potential areas for their fledgling facility, they thought about how the sport of dock diving fit in well with outdoor enthusiasts and camping. It made sense to partner with local campground Roundup Lake to provide local folks with a place to learn more about the sport while giving families, including their four legged kids, a new way to enjoy their time together. “Duke and dock diving have changed our lives,” Ms. Filler explained. “The bond Zak and Duke have formed is undeniable, and the time we spend enjoying this hobby together is priceless. Our hope is that countless other families will now have the opportunity to enjoy themselves as much as we are!” To find out more, visit them on Facebook, at dukesk9dashnsplash.com or by calling (330) 485-3624.
soaps, jams, self-watering plants and planters from recycling containers, and new vendors are still signing up to participate. No need to adjust your dinner schedule around these once-a-month markets, either. Treat yourself to an item from the Hunger Squad food truck, which will be on-site with a large variety of tasty meals, including their very popular maple pulled pork sandwiches. From after-work hiking to shopping local to a trendy food truck dinner, there will truly be something for everyone at these monthly farm markets. We hope you will join us!

This summer, the James A. Garfield Local Schools will be updating three areas of technology in an effort to make communicating with our parents and community easier and more efficient. DIGITAL FORMS We are very excited to announce that the James A. Garfield Local Schools has partnered with FinalForms, an online forms and data management service. FinalForms allows you to complete and sign enrollment, back-toschool, athletic and activity participation forms for your students. The most exciting news is that FinalForms saves data from season-to-season and year-to-year, meaning that you will never need to enter the same information twice! FinalForms also pre-populates information wherever possible, for each of your students, saving you time. You may review your data at any time to verify that it is current. You will be required to sign your forms once per year and after any update. We are asking that ALL parents use FinalForms. On July 1, 2017 we will be importing information from our current system. This will trigger an email sent to the email addresses we have on file. This email will have a link with instructions on how to access your forms and review/complete your information. Opportunities will be available for parents to come in and complete their forms with assistance upon request. Kiosks will also be available in each of the school offices. If you do not receive an email by July 4, you may directly register at: https://garfield-oh.finalforms.com and follow the prompts to create your account, create your students and sign your forms.

Summer is in full swing and what better way to relax than to go camping! Personally, I’ve been camping since I was a little girl. Mom, Dad, my middle brother and I set off to Gettysburg in a 13’ camper that the four us couldn’t be in at the same time – unless we were sleeping. Times being what they were, eating in restaurants was not much of an option, so Mom would cook our meals in the camper while we all waited outside. After our meal, we were out to discover every museum, historical site and battlefield in the area. On the way home, I remember Dad bragging that we hit every museum but one! What great memories! Camping has come a long way in 50 years. From campgrounds with swimming pools and modern shower houses to large campers with outdoor kitchens and fireplaces, it’s a far cry from the plot of camp land available when I was little. One thing hasn’t changed camping is a wonderful way to bring your family closer together. Leave the video games and TV behind and enjoy the many family-oriented activities available at a campground. Whether it’s walking, fishing, biking, swimming, bingo, putt-putt, or playing board games, camping is the best way to relax and forget the stress of our daily life. Being a seasonal camper at Ridge Ranch in Newton Falls for several years, I met so many great people who became lifelong friends. Sharing stories around the campfire, and watching our kids grow up together, was a great way to enjoy my home away from home. So the next time you’re planning a trip to Gettysburg, or anywhere else in the Continental United States, consider camping as an alternative to hotels. There’s nothing like the great outdoors during these short summer months!
Aurora High School Grad Studer Helps Build Electric Paraglider at Mount Union
Alliance - Hands-on learning experiences at the University of Mount Union can happen on campus, in the community, or in this case, a few hundred feet in the air. Ryan Studer, of Aurora, OH, was part of a team that built an electric-powered paraglider from scratch as a project in Dr. Chad Korach’s Product Design and Development course. Mount Union’s Product Design and Development course integrates business skills and creative design together through an established relationship between the Departments of Engineering and Economics, Accounting and Business Administration (EABA). Studer is an graduate of Aurora High School. The “pEgaSUS Electric Powered Paraglider” had a defined mission of “providing powered paragliding (PPG) pilots with a sustainable, portable and easy-to-use paraglider comparative to IC Engine counterparts.” Its differentiators included being electric, lightweight and portable. The group went farther than simply conceptualizing the idea, as the paraglider had a successful first flight before the end of the spring 2017 semester. “I want to be a design engineer after I earn my bachelor’s degree, so naturally, I was eager to take on this complicated design project and put what I have learned in and out if the classroom to the ultimate test,” team member Benjamin Kelley said. “When the paraglider took flight, and stayed in the air for that matter, it was one of the most fulfilling moments of my entire engineering career thus far.” “I think the most challenging aspect of the project was the time limit we had to work with,” team member

Quinn Whitehead said. “This was a very involved and complicated project to bring to life in a single semester. Fortunately, I was able to work with an outstanding group and we were able to turn this idea into a working/flying prototype before our deadline.” Whitehead, a business management and geology double major, has flown paragliders before, but he had never built one from scratch and felt he learned a lot from collaborating with a group of engineers. “For me, the coolest part about this project was building it from the ground up and manning the first test flights,” Whitehead said. “It was a very rewarding process and the teamwork was exceptional.” “The coolest aspect of this project to me is seeing multiple undergrad disciplines working together with professors and outside resources to achieve the same innovative goal,” team member James Shaffer II said. “The ability for Mount Union engineers to be able to work closely with business students and apply business skills in an engineering project are one of the pillars of the Mount Union engineering experience,” Korach said. “These are life skills that the graduates will be able to take away to their careers, and all of this would not be possible without a continued collaboration with Professor Michael Kachilla in the Department of EABA.” The group presented its idea at the first Engineering Design Expo held on Mount Union’s campus on April 27. The event was sponsored by the Department of Engineering and the Center for Student Success and it featured 11 different group projects that were brand new ideas or successful continuations of ideas from previous years.

Children’s Advantage developed a walk-in assessment clinic to be a convenient option for families in Portage County seeking behavior health services. Pictured at their office in Ravenna is Children’s Advantage Chief Executive Officer Kathy Regal. K aryn Hall | Contributing Reporter R avenna - Children’s Advantage, provider of family behavioral health services in Ravenna, opened a walk-in diagnostic assessment clinic on June 5. A diagnostic assessment is the first appointment to assess the problem and determine the appropriate plan of treatment. Children’s Advantage provides individual, family, and group psychotherapy and child and adolescent psychiatry. “Often the first phone call is the most difficult one for families to make, and when they call, they may need the service now, not days or weeks from now,” explained Kathy Regal, Children’s Advantage Chief Executive Officer. “Children’s Advantage is committed to responding to the needs of children and families of Portage County and developed the open access clinic as an easy and convenient option for these families. With funding from the Mental Health & Recovery Board, Children’s Advantage also has therapists consulting at each school district in Portage County. The importance of early detection and intervention is crucial. Adolescents with untreated mental illnesses are also more likely to drop out of school and have chronic physical health conditions in adulthood. “Half of all lifetime cases of mental illness begin by age 14,” commented Regal. “For some youth, the onset of symptoms can be scary and confusing, and for some parents, it can be unclear whether what they are seeing in their teen is typical adolescent behavior and personality changes or symptoms of a mental health condition. We can help.” The clinic will be available on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays from 9am-3pm and Wednesdays from 9am-2pm and is located at 520 N. Chestnut St., Ravenna. Families are also able to schedule appointments by calling their office at 330-296-5552.

Christian Life Center to Host Free Concert Walk-in Diagnostic Clinic for K ent - The Watoto Children’s Choir, a group of Children’s Behavioral Health Open 18 orphans from Uganda, will continue its six-month U.S. tour in Kent on Sunday, June 18 at 6:30 p.m. Doors Open at 6:00pm.The children will present their new production, Signs & Wonders at Christian Life Center at 1972 East Summit Rd. in Kent, Ohio. For details call the church Monday through Friday between the hours of 9:00am – 3:00pm. The concert will feature worship songs that share the stories of the children and the hope they have because of God’s love. All performances are free and open to the public. A Free-Will Offering will be taken. Since 1994, Watoto Children’s Choirs have traveled the world sharing the plight of Africa’s orphaned children. Each child in the choir has suffered the loss of one or both of their parents but they have been rescued and now live in a Watoto village. Watoto is a holistic child-care solution. Abandoned at a hospital in Kampala, Esther Kahangi was rescued by Watoto as a premature baby and spent her first weeks in critical care. Now, she is a healthy, joyful 8-year-old who is currently touring with the choir. “I am excited to be a part of Signs & Wonders,” said Esther. “I know that I am a wonder because I am chosen by God as His child.” “What an extraordinary experience it is to see the Watoto Children’s Choir,” said Brian Houston, Senior Pastor of Hillsong Church. “It lights up the place to see these beautiful kids, and when you hear their stories and learn about where they have come from, you can’t help but think of all God has done.” About the Watoto Children’s Choir Since 1994, the Watoto Children’s Choirs have toured the world annually as advocates for the 18 million African children currently orphaned by AIDS. The choirs have performed before presidents and royalty in the White House, Buckingham Palace, the United Nations and many other national parliaments. The choir has also performed at the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Pageant in the UK and is featured on Chris Tomlin’s album, “Hello, Love.” About Watoto Child Care Ministry In 1994, Watoto Church founded Watoto Child Care Ministry, Inc., an international holistic care program that was initiated as a response to the overwhelming number of orphaned and vulnerable children and women in Uganda. It is positioned to rescue an individual, raise each one as a leader in their chosen sphere of life so that they in turn will rebuild their nation. The model involves physical care, medical intervention including HIV/AIDS treatment, education - formal and vocational, counseling and emotional wellbeing as well as moral and spiritual discipleship.

James A. Garfield Historical Society The Journal published a n a r t icle i n 1950 describing Garrettsville’s Fourth of July as quite a splendid celebration in 1835. It commenced by the firing of cannon at sunrise. The singers met at Harvey White’s house and were escorted by a band of music to the meeting house. The procession was led by the band and directed by Chas. Walcott, marshal of the day, on horseback. The program that followed: Reading of the Declaration of Independence by Daniel R. Tilden; Oration by Dr. L.W. Trask; Poem written for the occasion and set to music by William Preston; Song, Voice of the Patriot; Poem by William Wolcott, and concluded by singing the 47th Psalm. An excellent dinner was served in a shady area on Mr. Quimby’s lot between his house and that of Mr. Wann (where the Buckeye Block stood). Tables were laid for one hundred twenty persons, and many partook at the second table. Title on the Journal’s front page on July 6, 1950 was “2000 Attend 4th Celebration”. The article described the crowd was beyond all expectations of officials. About 550 automobiles converged on the athletic field, most of them loaded to capacity and Rt. 88 and the surrounding roads were jam-packed with autos. At 7:30 a parade formed in front of the Town Hall and marched to the athletic field. Police Chief William Dexter led the parade in the police car followed by American Legion color guard and the High School Band. The Lucas sisters on horseback came next and were followed by Charley Barholt on a decorated bicycle. The village firetruck was next in line and was followed by a car filled with village officials and cars of the local car dealers. A large crowd of autos and pedestrians followed to the athletic field. Over three hundred baseball fans saw the Garrettsville Eagles nine take Nelson Silica 11-6. The high school band concert followed the ball game with sixteen selections played. Mayor Glenn Reynolds and Chamber of Commerce president W.J. Dickey expressed their thanks to a long list of names of people and organizations that contributed to the spur-of-the-moment affair that reflected community pride and spirit, having had only five days of planning preceding the event. The evening concluded with an assorted display of fireworks which lasted 35 minutes. The display ended by an American Flag made of red, white and blue lights.

Kent State Trumbull’s Frank Lindsay Looks for Ways to Help Families Affected by Cancer Warren - Frank Lindsay, Kent State Trumbull’s Manager of Information Technology, has always been looking for ways to help others. When his father, Frank Lindsay, Sr., was losing his battle with cancer in 2000, he began admiring the work of hospice organizations and noticed how they made a difficult time a little more tolerable. With help from Lindsay’s wife, Heather, and friends Jennifer and Matt Durno, Rock4Reason was established in July 2016. What began as a series of fundraisers for Hospice of the Valley and the American Cancer Society, became a full-fledged 501(c3) charitable organization in 2017. Rock4Reason now provides financial and therapeutic support through the power of music to families impacted by cancer and to community agencies providing care for cancer and/or terminally ill patients. Rock4Reason has raised more than $8,000. In January, the group partnered with Kent State Trumbull and its Jurisprudence Organization (composed of students with a collective interest in criminal justice) to host a benefit silent raffle auction and pasta dinner for a Kent State Trumbull student whose son was recently diagnosed with terminal brain cancer. “We want to make one of the most difficult times in someone’s life a little more bearable” Lindsay said. “We are driven to help provide some relief to these families.”

Mantua - At their last meeting, council heard from a sizable contingent of the public regarding zoning issues. Complaints were raised regarding the a letter received by 29 residents about their property potentially being located within the flood plain or the flood way, as defined by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Mr. Garey sent the letter at the request of Mayor Linda Clark. At a recent council meeting, a similar issue arose after a landowner completed of a project near the river, and was later informed of the need for a permit to compete such work. Mayor Clark prompted what she called a ‘pre-emptive letter’, explaining, “We wanted to let anyone with property near the river know that if they plan any work projects, a permit may be required.” The discussion expanded to include other zoning issues when Matt Denzinger, owner of the NAPA store spoke to council. Since November of 2015, Mr. Denzinger has been working to build a new, larger NAPA store within the Village. He explained that instead of receiving a comprehensive list of steps to follow in regards to Village zoning regulations and permits, he received a trickle of information, which caused delays in the project. Phil Rath, co-owner of Compass Packaging, concurred, sharing that he encountered many delays over months of planning and construction, which ultimately delayed the opening of the Chilling Station ice cream shop. He urged council to work with their zoning inspector Jason Garey to “move at the speed of business, not the speed of government.” Local business owner Ellie Stamm echoed their sentiments, stating that working with Mr. Garey often feels like, “pushing a stone up a hill.” After much discussion by the mayor, council, and several other local business owners, councilwoman Paula Tubalkain summed up the issue by asking for better communication and guidance from the zoning inspector, adding, “Businesses need to receive the information up front, not trickled to them.” Council and the planning committee will work with Mr. Garey to create a comprehensive list to help streamline the process and encourage those who wish to do business in the village. In his police report, Chief Harry Buchert asked council to accept a donation of $2,700 for the K9
Rock4Reason founders (Left to right) Jennifer Durno, Matt Durno, Frank Lindsay, and Heather Lindsay. On Saturday, July 15, Rock4Reason will be featured at a River Rock at the Amp concert featuring Pink Floyd cover band, Wish You Were Here. Gates open at 5 p.m. and opening act, Time Traveller, Moody Blues cover band, begins at 5:30 p.m. “We are excited to be part of this event and hope we can get more people involved with our organization.” For more information visit www.rock4reason.org.
program. In his report, Village Administrator Bruce Rininger thanked Chelsea Gregor, village administrative assistant, for her work in bringing a Free Little Library to the village. The new lending library, which is located by the sidewalk, steps away from the village Police Department, was officially opened at the end of May. Visitors of all ages are encouraged to take a book or leave any they are finished with to share the love or reading with others. In other news, Mr. Rininger shared that the Service Department has been putting the new mini-excavator to good use, both in the cemetery, where it aided in facilitating two burials in as many weeks, to repair work on a storm sewer at Woodford Street. Lastly, Mr. Rininger shared that he received a letter from Hal Stamm asking the village to wave tie-in fees for two Pioneer residents to connect to the village’s sewer line. “As much as I’d like to,” explained Mr. Rininger, “it sets a poor precedent,” he explained. After much discussion, council voted in agreement with the village administrator’s recommendation to maintain the $5,770 tie-in fee. Regarding the project, Village Administrator Rich Iafelice noted that the plans for the sewer tie-ins have been approved on behalf of the Village, and that they are waiting for approval from the EPA. He recommends the village stay apprised of the construction process, since the village will own and maintain that portion of the sewer system upon project completion. Lastly, council approved the appointment of Clark Magdych to the Landmark Commission. The next Village Council meeting will take place on Tuesday, June 20th at 7 pm.

From Grandma Tr’ybl’s Table Strawberry Season Barry Vancura | Columnist
T h is t i me of yea r growing up always meant STRAWBERRIES! I was able to find these 3 recipes in my mother’s collection of some of our family’s favorites. I believe that nearly everyone back then had some sort of plot of their own berries, whether it was rows and rows down at the farm, or the old whisky barrels planted full in the side yards of Cleveland . We even had a 3 tiered fountain-looking contraption that was irrigated in our back yard assembled by my father (I’m sure it was in the anticipation of making some sort of wine with the fruit.) The berries seems to be around from Memorial Day to the last of them being enjoyed over the 4th of July holiday. But not to fear, there were many containers frozen in the big chest freezer in the basements that would make their reappearance throughout the year. Aunt Millie’s Muffins were said to be very “Healthy” and in the early 70’s the health rage was just in its infancy, I made them last week and really hit the spot ! Grandma Cooper’s Cobbler was also served with a scoop or two of ice cream freshly delivered from the Sanitary Dairy from Warren, Ohio. Back when milk and dairy products were delivered to your home twice a week. Yes, the precursor to Amazon Prime! Aunt Pat’s Torte was enjoyed on spring vacation years ago when my parents and I went to visit them in Arkansas (never did like the
Sammy
This handsome Siamese mix boy was abandoned outdoors by his previous owners. He is about 6 years old and very affectionate once he knows you. He follows his foster parents around the house and sleeps at the bottom of their bed. He is good with dogs and seems fine with most cats. He is neutered, vaccinated, leukemia negative, but did test positive for FIV. If you’re familiar with FIV and are willing to adopt this loving boy, he should have a safe, stress-free, indoor home only. Sammy is a talker and fun and playful. He would probably be happiest as the only cat, receiving all your love and attention. To meet Sammy, please call Rebecca at 440 321 2485 Kathy Deptola Animal Rescue

Using an ice cream scoop, divide the batter among the muffin cups. Sprinkle the tops with remaining sugar. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean, about 17 minutes. Cool 5 minutes in the pan, then transfer muffins to a wire rack to cool completely

Fr. James-Peter Trares, O.P. with Fr. Edward Stafford, Pastor of St. Joseph Church Mantua - The Parish Community of St. Joseph was honored to celebrate a beautiful Mass with the newly ordained Fr. James-Peter on Sunday, June 4, 2017, at the 8:30 a.m. liturgy. Our pastor, Fr. Ed Stafford, welcomed our St. Joseph Parish son as he concelebrated this Mass of Thanksgiving on the Feast of Pentecost. The chalice used was a gift to Fr. James-Peter from Bernice Heritage in memory of her late husband, Austin, a 4th Degree member with the Knights of Columbus (the Mass intention happened to be for him also). Many thanks to Fr. Ed, Deacon Gerry Scopilitti, Bill Davies, Director of Music, our Music Ministry, the Worship Committee, the Women’s Auxiliary of the Mantua Knights of Columbus Council #3766, and the Parish Staff for their help, guidance, and support. Fr. James-Peter graduated from Crestwood High School in Mantua in 2006, then earned a Bachelor of Music in Liturgical Music and a minor in Theology from Aquinas College, Grand Rapids, MI, in 2010. He entered the novitiate for the Province of St. Albert the Great (Central Province) in Denver in 2010 and made his first profession of vows in August, 2011. He received a dual Master of Divinity and Master of Arts in Theology from Aquinas Institute of Theology in St. Louis, MO, on May 12. We congratulate Fr. James-Peter who was ordained a Catholic priest on May 20, at St. Pius V Catholic Church in St. Louis, MO. Fr. James-Peter will be assigned as a campus minister and theology professor at the University of St. Thomas based in the twin cities of St. Paul and Minneapolis, MN. He’ll reside with ten other Dominicans at St. Albert the Great Priory, 2833 32nd Ave., South, Minneapolis, MN 55406 .

“How are essential oils made?� Aromatherapy and natural beauty have been popular recently, and so have essential oils, leading some of our patrons to wonder: where do they come from, exactly? Essential oils come from different plants, and there are several methods of extracting them, according to Essential Oils: Natural Remedies which is published by Althea Press. The method used can depend on the plant. Citrus oils are cold-pressed, which means the rind is put in a press at 120 degrees Fahrenheit. Ginger, frankincense, and myrrh are some of the oils typically extracted through CO2 distillation. There are two methods of CO2 distillation: cold and supercritical. Both involve passing carbon dioxide through the plant matter, but in cold distillation, the CO2 is cooled to between 35-55 degrees Fahrenheit, and in supercritical, it’s heated to 87 degrees Fahrenheit. Steam distillation is a common method and involves passing steam through the plant to collect the oils and then condensing the steam and separating the oil from the water. The water left over from this process is called hydrosol and can be used in scents and beauty products. Chemicals such as methylene chloride (which can also be used as a paint stripper, degreaser, and component in drinking bird toys and bubble lights, among other things) can be used in place of water or CO2. After the oil has been extracted, the remaining solvents are removed, but tiny traces may remain. Finally, there’s the very old method of enfleurage. Plants (typically flowers, as suggested by the name) rest in a bath of warm fat or fatty oil. The fatty oil absorbs the essential oils from the flowers. Once it’s saturated, alcohol is added, which absorbs the essential oils from the fat or fatty oil and then evaporates, leaving only the essential oils behind. Like hydrosol, the fat remains scented and can be used in other products. For more information on aromatherapy and essential oils, Complete Aromatherapy Handbook by Susanne Fischer-Rizzi and The Complete Illustrated Guide to Aromatherapy by Julia Lawless are both available at the Newton Falls Public Library for checkout. For answers to your questions, visit the Newton Falls Public Library, 204 S. Canal Street, Newton Falls or phone 330-872-1282.

Social Security Advice for Soon-To-Be Retirees
Notes from the vineyard Amanda Conkol | Columnist
It’s no secret that the quality of wine is really up to Mother Nature every year so it’s no surprise how many times I have been asked how the grapes are doing this year. In our 13 years in business we have seen some crazy weather patterns; hot and humid summers, record setting low temperatures in the winter, dry years, wet years, etc. We used to be able to estimate how wet, dry, hot, cold each year would be, but in the past 4 years our forecasts haven’t been that accurate. We’ve learned to quickly accommodate for whatever Mother Nature throws our way, even if it makes for a challenging growing season! Grapes grow the best when they are slightly stressed searching for water and cooler temperatures. The amount of sunlight allows the grapes to produce higher levels of sugar in the grape clusters. Given the limited amount of sunlight and the rain and high humidity this is causing a greater chance for disease in the grapevines. We combat this problem with a spray program that has been more frequent due to changing conditions. While I do not mind the cooler temperatures, it starts to make the perfect combination for the bugs to come out and weeds to grow around the base of the vines. We’ve already sprayed for ants who like to eat the baby grapes that are currently growing on the vines. The next pest we expect to see are the Japanese beetles who love to eat grape leaves. We are also currently spraying for diseases that love high humidity, such as powdery mildew. Also, another threat is the Asian lady beetles (a form of the ladybug), but they will not make an appearance till later in the year. All of this varies depending on the variety of grapes planted and their level of susceptibility to the diseases.

Dear Savvy Senior, Can you recommend any services that help preretirees decide when to start drawing their Social Security benefits? My wife and I are approaching retirement age and want to carefully weigh our options to make sure we’re maximizing our benefits. Approaching Retirement
Dear Approaching, Deciding when to begin collecting your Social Security benefits could be one of the most important retirement-income decisions you’ll make. The difference between a good decision and a poor one could cost you tens of thousands of dollars over your retirement, so doing your homework and weighing your options now is a wise move. What to Consider - As you may already know, you can claim Social Security any time between the ages of 62 and 70, but each year you wait increases your benefit by 5 to 8 percent. But there are other factors you need to take into account to help you make a good decision, like your health and family longevity, whether you plan to work in retirement, along with spousal and survivor benefits. To help you weigh your claiming strategies, you need to know that Social Security Administration claims specialists are not trained or authorized to give you personal advice on when you should start drawing your benefits. They can only provide you information on how the system works under different circumstances. To get advice you’ll need to turn to other sources. Web-Based Help - Your first step in getting Social Security claiming strategy advice is to go to SSA.gov/ myaccount to get your personalized statement that estimates what your retirement benefits will be at age 62, full retirement age or when you turn 70. These estimates are based on your yearly earnings that are also listed on your report. Once you get your estimates for both you and your wife, there are many online tools you can turn to that can compare your options so you can make an Amanda is the Co-Owner of Candlelight Winery informed decision.

THE VILLAGER | FRIDAY, June 16, 2017
Iva Walker | Columnist Provided By Chris Perme | Columnist It was two o’clock in the morning when I first heard About 20% of Americans aged 65-74 are still it. I was just sort of hovering between being asleep and working. A 2016 Pew Research Center study put the being awake. This sometimes when a trip to the bathroom precise figure at 18.8%, and Pew estimates that it will seems like a wise move, but that wasn’t the case (although reach 31.9% in 2022. That estimate seems reasonable: I did get up and go to the bathroom anyway; no point people are living longer, and the labor force participation in passing up an opportunity) at this particular time. rate for Americans aged 65-74 has been rising since the There was a noise coming from what seemed to be the early 1990s.1,2 kitchen; it was an electronic sort of a noise. It was not a It may be unreasonable, though, for a pre-retiree to BAT sort of a noise, with which I am all too familiar.

A beeps then silence, long or short. Weird. Even the most 2017 Transamerica Center for Retirement Studies survey modern of bats do not do that, as far as I know. So I got finds that 56% of U.S. solopreneurs think they will retire up to see where this was coming from. after 65 or not at all.4 Now I did have choices as to where this might be Are financial uncertainties promoting this view?

Yes, the survey respondents had definite smart phone (way smarter than me, truth be told) plugged money concerns – 28% felt Social Security benefits in being charged.

On the other hand, 54% an idiosyncrasy of its own; more on that later). None of of these self-employed people said that they wanted them made a peep. The refrigerator was humming—not to work in retirement because they enjoyed their job beeping—and dropping ice cubes into their little bed. The stove and toaster oven were likewise silent, worn out from overwork, for sure. So what was beeping? Only one other major appliance was residing in the our trip to “see the elephantâ€?

There had been, for again—nothing again, then—beep, beep, beep, beep, some time, a different electronic sound coming from beep. This was NOT going well. Nor did it get any somewhere in the kitchen. It wasn’t the fridge, it wasn’t better. I finally went back to bed; actually managed to the range, up until the early morning wake-up episode, sleep through the sound that night and each subsequent it wasn’t the microwave, it wasn’t the radio (either of night.

or profession, and 67% felt working would help them remain active.4 Is their retirement assumption realistic? Time will tell. The baby boom generation may rewrite the book on retirement. Social Security’s Life Expectancy Calculator tells us that today’s average 60-year-old woman will live to age 86. Today’s average 60-year-old man will live to age 83. Leaving work at 65 could mean a 20-year retirement for either of them, and they might live past 90 if their health holds up. Even if these Americans quit working at age 70, they could still need more than a dozen years of retirement money.5 You could argue that an affluent, self-employed individual is hardly the “average� American retiree. Many solopreneurs own businesses; doctors and lawyers may fully or partly own professional practices; real estate investors and developers may have passive income streams. These groups do not represent the entirety of the self-employed, however – and even these individuals can face the challenge of having to sell a business, a practice, or real property to boost their retirement savings. Successful, self-employed people over 50 need to approach the critical years of retirement planning with the same scrutiny and concerted effort of other pre-retirees. Look at the years after 50 as a time to intensify your retirement planning. This is the right time to determine how much retirement income you will need and how much more you need to save to generate it. This is the time to evaluate your level of investment risk and to think about when to collect Social Security. This is the time to examine your assumptions.

NUMBERS Invest • Insure • Retire
1. SO MANY RECORDS - The S&P 500 closed at a calendar year 2017 high of 2439 on Friday 6/02/17, its 22nd record closing high this year. During a bull market that is now in its 100th month, the stock index has set 148 record closing highs. The S&P 500 consists of 500 stocks chosen for market size, liquidity and industry group representation. It is a market value weighted index with each stock’s weight in the index proportionate to its market value (source: BTN Research). 2. WHAT DO THEY KNOW? - The S&P 500 may be up +9.6% YTD (total return) through Friday 6/09/17, but only 35% of stock investors are currently bullish on US equities for the upcoming 6 months. Ironically only 19% of individual investors were “bullishâ€? on US stocks just 5 days before a bull market began in March 2009 that has now lasted 99 months up to the current day (source: AAII). 3. FUNDING A RETIREMENT - The S&P 500 has averaged +9.1% per year (total return) over the 25 years ending 12/31/16. A lump-sum of $903,388 (in a pre-tax account) will sustain a 20-year payout of $100,000 per year (i.e., $2 million of gross distributions before taxes) assuming the funds continue to earn +9.1% annually. This mathematical calculation ignores the ultimate impact of taxes on the account which are due upon withdrawal, is for illustrative purposes only and is not intended to reflect any specific investment or performance. Actual results will fluctuate with market conditions and will vary (source: BTN Research). 4. GOOD RESULTS LATELY - The S&P 500 was down on a total return basis in 9 of the 13 years from 1929-1941. The S&P 500 has been down on a total return basis in just 1 of the last 14 years from 2003-2016, i.e., down in calendar year 2008 (source: BTN Research). 5. PRETTY LIKELY - The Fed Funds futures market was priced last Friday 6/09/17 to reflect a 99.6% chance of a Âź of 1% rate hike by the Fed at this week’s 2-day meeting that ends Wednesday 6/14/17 (source: CME Group). 6. BACK WORKING AGAIN - During the global real estate recession that began in 2008, our national jobless rate peaked at 10.0% in October 2009, representing 15.4 million out-of-work Americans. The May 2017 jobless rate of 4.3% equates to 6.9 million individuals lacking employment (source: Department of Labor).
