The story of the Gideon Winery Catawba Island By Andrea J. Elliott Prior to 1900, there were three commercial wineries on Catawba Island, one of which was the Gideon Owen Winery located on East Catawba Road a half mile from the point. The large barn-like building was a landmark on the island for over 90 years before it fell to its demise in the early 1960s. The winery was a wood frame building and had a stone cellar with an arched ceiling and was known to locals as the “old wine cellar.” It was originally owned by Gideon Owen, a fruit and grape grower from New York who came to the area mid 1860. Over time the building served many purposes. In the beginning the winery produced still wines from locally grown native American grapes like Concord, Niagara, Delaware, and for our island’s namesake, Catawba. The Catawba was the earliest and most important grape that made the highest quality wine. By the 1890s farmers began to replace vineyards on Catawba with peach orchards. With the abundance of peaches from the peak of the harvest season, the winery became a peach winery and distillery using surplus and seconds to make wine and peach brandy. The winery operated under a cooperative of local fruit growers. Peaches were also used to make “high wine” as it was called. It was potent and less costly than peach brandy because fewer steps were involved in making it. Soon overall cost increases stopped CONTINUED on NEXT PAGE

the production of the peach brandy and wine. The old wine cellar also served as an early spray house locals called a “soup house.” The “soup” was a lime sulfur mixture that was sprayed on fruit trees to control the disease called fruit scale and was sold to local farmers. Newer spray materials and spraying methods for fruit trees were developed and the old soup houses were no longer needed. The old wine cellar was also used to grow mushrooms. With better growing methods available, the mushroom growing operation was no longer profitable. The frame building above the cellar was also once used as a fruit packing house primarily for peaches. The first fruit graders were foot treadle powered. During the peak of the peach season, hundreds of bushels were graded and packaged in a day’s work. CONTINUED on PAGE 9 Previous page Gideon Winery.

Meet Catawba Island Township Fiscal Officer Karen Shaw Edited by Andrea J. Elliott Karen Shaw began working in the township’s administrative office in 2008 and was appointed Fiscal Officer by the Township Trustees last October. Karen was born in North Carolina where her father served in the Marine Corp before returning home to Clyde, Ohio. Karen and her husband Paul grew up in Clyde and are graduates of Clyde High School. They moved to Catawba Island in 1999 and recently celebrated their 15th wedding anniversary.

Karen and Paul both worked at Whirlpool Corporation following high school. During her 18-year career at Whirlpool, Karen earned an Associates Degree from Terra State Community College and a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Communications and Public Relations from The University of Toledo. At Whirlpool she was an Administrative Assistant in Human Resources before deciding to stay home with their young children. Karen considers her previous work experience and education a benefit in her new role as Fiscal Officer. While working for the township over the past three years, she has built positive working relationships with township employees and Trustees. She says meeting numerous Catawba Island residents has been a pleasure. Having spent the past year learning the fiscal operations of the township, Karen says she knows the fiscal responsibilities well. Karen also enjoys volunteering with elementary students in the reading program at Jefferson Elementary and occasionally works as a substitute in the school office. Her husband Paul serves on the Zoning Commission for Catawba Island Township and the Board of Education for Port Clinton City Schools. Karen and her husband are proud parents of Emily, Lauren, and Noah who attend Port Clinton City Schools. All three children kept busy this summer participating on the Port Clinton Piranhas Swim Team, in the First Tee Golf program, and the Ace of Clubs 4-H Club. The girls serve as officers in their 4-H club. Both Emily and Lauren competed successfully with their 4-H projects at the Ottawa County Fair and the Ohio State Fair this summer.

The girls volunteer with Karen and Paul at the local St. Vincent de Paul Food Pantry in downtown Port Clinton and help their father with special events at The Vineyard on Catawba where he is the Campus Administrator. Karen and Paul have also volunteered the past four years at the Gem Beach Rocks event to benefit United Way of Ottawa County. The Shaws are active members of Trinity United Methodist Church in Port Clinton. The Shaw family is proud to call Catawba Island their home. They appreciate the splendor of the lakeshore area that many vacationers journey to each summer. Karen enjoys going to the beach at East Harbor State Park for long walks with her family. She says a stop at one of Catawba’s fruit and vegetable stands for some fabulous homegrown Catawba peaches or other produce is a must when the family drives around the township. Karen is running for election this fall and hopes to continue serving the township as Fiscal Officer, a responsibility she enjoys. Karen said, “I visited the area often with family when I was younger and then with friends after high school. I had no idea I would someday live within Catawba Island’s beautiful surroundings. I’m very happy to have the opportunity to serve the many residents and neighbors we now call friends.” Karen continued, “For more than 100 years Catawba Island has been a place where families come to relax, visit with one another, and enjoy water recreation. We are blessed to call Catawba Island home.” ♥

Eventually more roadside fruit stands sold fruit that was orchard grade ungraded. Local growers also belonged to a nearby fruit company where the grading was done for them. After business at the packing house dwindled, the building served as storage for fruit baskets used during the fruit season. For nearly a century, the winery served many purposes to locals. In the 1960s, the upper wood structure of the winery was razed for the new right of way of East Catawba Road. Though the stone cellar still remains today, it is on private property and closed to the public. ∞ A special thanks to Don Rhodes for his contributions to this story.

North passed away in the midseventies, but his memory lives on, as does his wonderful artwork. This will be my last article on collecting art, so I thought I would just give you some of our own ideas. Many of them coincide with those offered in previous articles, so we won’t go there again. Others are just random thoughts that come to mind as I look over what we have collected, and why some of the works are enjoyed more than others.
Collecting Original Art By Rick Dziak I hope you have enjoyed this series of articles on collecting art. Last month’s article gave some sugges-
tions on buying original artwork, and the painting that accompanied the piece was called “Gloucester Harbor”, by Earl North. Mr. North was from Haskins, in northwest Ohio. He studied with Emile Gruppe in the Gloucester, Mass. area. I know some of you out there are lucky, as we are, to have one or more of his paintings in your collection. Mr.
I mentioned our private collection in the first article. It is very eclectic in terms of subject matter, media, even framing. Almost all of the works are representational. Some done in a more Classical Realism, others very Impressionistic, almost to the point of hardly being able to tell just what it is that it represents. That’s not to say we don’t like abstract works, in fact we do. A good abstract painting in the right place can be spectacular! We just haven’t bought any……yet. In fact, all good representational works have a solid abstract base, or beginning. As a couple, Mary and I have grown to admire many styles of painting, and we are lucky, in most cases, to have been able to agree, (most of the time) on paintings that really get our attention. We see, we both like, we can afford, we buy. We rarely know where the painting will go in advance, but have some ideas……..and, usually, it ends up where we least expect it to. This makes it even more fun, as we “live” with it for awhile, letting it float about on the floor. It may take two minutes to find its place, or two months. Time will tell us eventually as to where it belongs. And it may replace a painting that we think needs to be moved elsewhere. This sometimes gives new life to an older work that was being ignored, only because it was always in the same spot. CONTINUED on NEXT PAGE

I rarely tire of looking at an original work, but it does happen occasionally. More importantly, I find myself asking, “what does this painting have that is so special that after 5 years or more, I still love looking at it?” Tough question with no definitive answers. The painting shown, “The Musician”, by Nancy Hawkins, is one of those paintings. It never grows old. It always grabs my eye and won’t let go until I smile, examine, and admire. We didn’t pay much for this particular painting, but it outshines most in our collection that had cost us much more. It is the one that didn’t “get away”, and we are both thankful and proud to own and enjoy it.
There are those that change in our minds eye over the years, and we see beauty that was not as obvious at first. Those are fun moments with the key word being “fun”. Go for it.

Enrich your lives. Happy hunting, and we both hope your lives are as enriched as much as ours have been by collecting original art! ∞

Off the Beaten Path at The Bay By Lindsay Smith Everyone knows Put-In-Bay as a summer party place, but only some people know that places do exist to get away from the hustle and bustle of downtown. The Goat, Soup & Whiskey The Goat, located on Catawba Avenue, opened on Put-In-Bay in 2006. They offer tasty, homemade soups and advertise themselves as the “Home of the Original Perch Taco.”
The Reuben Ball, a featured menu item, is their homemade version of a sauerkraut ball. Stopping in for an appetizer, my friend and I got carried away and tried several offerings. I chose a cup of Chicken Green Chili, which was excellent. The Perch Tacos and Reuben Balls were also delicious. If these three menu choices are any indication of the remainder of the menu, The Goat is definitely a destination for a nice dinner in a relaxed atmosphere. The Goat is open for lunch and dinner and also has a full service bar. Put-In-Bay Winery & Doller Estate The Put-In-Bay Winery opened in May of 2009 and is located in the Doller Estate, a beautiful home on Bayview Drive just behind Mossback’s. The Put-In-Bay Winery bottles its own label, but also sells other varieties by the bottle or glass. After visiting the gift shop, tasting room and selecting a wine, I suggest taking your glass or bottle to a front yard table and watch the activity in the marina or catch a Lake Erie sunset. It’s amazing what a peaceful place the Doller House is, and only just a block away from the crazy downtown atmosphere. Of course, the wine helps!
Tony’s Garage Tony’s has traditionally been known as the “local’s” hangout on the island, formerly a cozy little place with an antique bar and soda fountain, but this past offseason it was vastly remodeled and updated. They boast the “Best Burger on the Island.” I’m a sucker for fried pickles (served plain or spicy) and pulled pork sandwiches, both of which are very tasty at Tony’s. Compared to other island bars, the drinks are less expensive and the food is good. Located on Catawba Avenue, Tony’s is a great place to grab a quick bite and a drink before hitting the hot spots. When you’re at The Bay and need a break from the party, try one of these places. You won’t be disappointed! •

The Basic CERT course teaches citizen responders basic safety and operations conducted after disasters strike a community with the intention of forming response teams in the various communities across the county. The course covers basic scene safety, fire and utility basics, first aid, disaster psychology, basics of terrorism, and simple search and rescue. Participants also learn about the CERT program which is a federally-designed program that falls under the Citizen Corps umbrella. Once trained, CERT members can become a part of the Ottawa County CERT that responds to help after floods, tornadoes, and other disasters. The CERT is also involved in community events and disaster preparedness within their communities. CERT does not duplicate the efforts of other organizations, but collaborates and enhances what can be done to help victims. The Erie County CERT assisted Ottawa County in June, 2010 after tornadoes hit Allen Township; that team clocked over 800 hours of support to Ottawa County, and worked with over 1300 volunteers to assist 49 families after the tornado. As a result, Ottawa County EMA is spon-

Catawba Island Township Trustees Consider Cemetery Enhancement Deciding how you would like to be remembered and memorialized is a very personal choice. Increasingly individuals and families are choosing
cremation. There are many reasons that families choose cremation, and one of its advantages is that cremation can offer increased flexibility when making funeral and cemetery arrangements. Families have the option of holding a
traditional service before cremation, and/or a memorial service with the cremation urn. Families may need to wait for an extended period before a memorial service and cremation can offer that flexibility in timing. Cremation also offers a variety of burial options including burial in a cemetery plot, columbarium placement, or the remains can be scattered at a private location (pending permission by the owner and local regulations). The remains can also be retained by a family member. Families often look to a memorial service to provide a safe place for grieving and closure, so it is important to consider how cremation will fit into the grieving process. In addition to considering memorial services, it is equally important to consider the final resting place of the remains. Providing families with an accessible, permanent resting place ensures that future generations will have a place to go, to gather and remember. Catawba Island Township Trustees are considering the addition of a columbarium to the township cemetery. The memorial shelter would include 360 above-ground outdoor niches for the placement of CONTINUED on NEXT PAGE An example of a columbarium below.

cremation urns. Currently the only option offered at Catawba Island Cemetery is burial in a cemetery plot. The shelter being considered would look similar to the one pictured with 90 niches located at each corner of the structure. The area in the center could serve as a memorial service location or a place for quiet reflection. If you have any questions about the cemetery or thoughts you would like to share regarding the proposed columbarium please contact Fiscal Officer Karen Shaw at 419-7974131. ∞
