PV School Boardinterviewing

superintendentapplicants


ANDOVER TOWNSHIP -Pymatuning Valley Board of Edu-cation has narrowed its list of can-didates for the superintendent’sposition, said board president TomHunt. At a special meeting a weekago, Hunt and fellow board mem-bers began reviewing 32 applicantresumes received for filling thesuperintendent’s job.

PV Superintendent AlexGeordan has resigned and leavesAug. 1 for a similar position withthe Canfield Local School District.Hunt said the board members be-fore the June 26 special meetinghad individually gone over the listof 32 applicants.

After the public portion of theJune 26 ended, the board met in aclosed door session with CountySchools Superintendent JohnRubesich to come up with at leastsix candidates to begin the inter-view process.

“We will begin the face to faceinterviews starting on July 10 af-ter our regular school board meet-ing on July 9,” Hunt said. “We (theboard) each had a weekend beforeJune 26 to come up with at leastthree names of applicants fromamong the 32. Some of us came upwith the same persons,” Hunt said.

Both Pymatuning Valley andGrand Valley school boards havediscussed over the past month thesharing a superintendent.. The pro-posal was brought to each boardlast month by Rubesich as a costsaving measure for both districts.However, neither board has pub-licly stated their position on theproposal.

GV School District Superinten-dent Bill Nye has indicated he’d bewilling to take on the dual role forboth districts if each school boardagreed to the plan. Rubesich saidthe proposal was made as a costsavings idea for the two districts.

“I want to make it clear that BillNye did not approach me about thisshared job proposal. I did talk withhim first, however, to see if he wasinterested. There are lots of rumorsout there and on Facebooks that arenot true. I’ve also been criticizedabout my handling of the June 26meeting,” Hunt said.

At the June 26 meeting, a largenumber of residents attended thebrief session expressing oppositionto the idea of sharing one superin-tendent between Grand Valley andPymatuning Valley. Hunt gave resi-dents the opportunity to speak onthe subject although it was not onthe board’s agenda.

Hunt cut off the debate afterabout 20 minutes so the board couldmeet with Rubesich privately to re-view and discuss candidate resumes.

As the meeting ended, Huntstated, “The shared superintendentissue will be off the table if we finda good candidate here among thesecandidates.”

cials has informally approachedPymatuning Valley School Boardofficials to inquire if the old PVelementary school parcel is forsale.

PV School Board presidentTom Hunt confirmed that the fireassociation made some initial in-quiries if the school board wasinterested in selling the WestMain Street land.

Presently the school ownedparcel is used for school buses.A small garage is also on the site.

Hunt said the board may be

interested in selling the oldschool site. The buses wouldthen have to be housed on exist-ing land where the PV schoolsare located.

Hunt said there is ample landat the PV Middle School site forconstructing a new bus garage.

“We are applying for a federalgrant to the Federal EmergencyManagement Agency which wewould use for a new building.But as part of the grant applica-tion we need to get a piece ofproperty first for any future fire

station,” Miller explained.The current fire station loca-

tion dates back to 1953 when thedepartment located at the site.Two buildings were put together,Miller said, for the existing firestation today. One building wasa former hotel, which set alongthe old railroad right-of-waythrough the village of Andover.

“We need to look at a new firestation facility. It’s a question offunding and where to locate. Weare exploring several options,”Miller said.

“Somewhere along theline the bandit will come inand relieve you of yourmoney,” Rueter said.

The bandits are thenchased down the railroad bythe cops.

“It’s great to see the lookon the kids’ face as we’replaying cops and robbers,”Rueter said.

Rueter said sometimespeople enjoy the show somuch they will come backwith someone who has yet tosee the show.

“We have repeats thatcome. Sometimes it’s grand-parents who bring anotherset of grandchildren withthem,” Rueter said.

The actors on the trainare Civil War re-enactorswho have a free weekend towork for AC&J.

“These are actually CivilWar re-enactors turned ban-dit,” Rueter said. “It’s an offweekend for them so theycome in and play Wild Westand some of them have CivilWar uniforms on.”

The Bandit Hold-up isgeared toward people of allages and is family entertain-

ment.“All the activities are

geared toward family enter-tainment,” Rueter said. “Theyounger children like thetrain a lot.”

For those who would liketo visit the train but are un-able to make it this week-end, the train will now beopen every weekend throughLabor Day.

“This will be our openingweekend and we will runthrough the last Sunday inOctober,” Rueter said. “Wetake a brief vacation in Sep-tember and then come backthe last weekend in Septem-ber.”

“I wrote all my stories inthe first person, and as Icontinued to write, Idecided to take the name ofGina Blue,” Blue said.

Her latest book, EvaBlue, is a special book be-cause it is also a coloringbook.

Blue said she came upwith the concept while wait-ing for her doctor to see her.

“A year or so ago, aroundthe holidays, I had severalappointments to keep. Itook a favorite color bookand a small box of crayonswith me to keep me com-pany while I waited,” Bluesaid.

Blue said the reception-ist kept staring at her andthen finally revealed to Blueshe, too, loved to color andsaw it as a stress reliever.

Blue took the opportu-nity of combining two of herfavorite pastimes and thechildren at Henderson got tosee in person the authorbehind the book.

The US Air Force flew fourof the C-130s in daily duringthe summer months, Decem-ber to February, at the Ant-arctica NSF site.

“Living there was sure dif-ferent. It’s 3 a.m. in the morn-ing and sun is still out,” herecalled.

When he was through withthe NSF building stationproject, Satterfield said heworked in New Zealand and

took time to do some adven-turous backpacking in thatpart of the Pacific Rim coun-try.

By the end of 2009,Satterfield said he headedback to the U.S. to find a jobwith the National Park Ser-vice out west and in Alaska.

“I worked with the parkservice at the Sitka AlaskaNational Historic Park. Wedid a lot of restoration of

buildings in the park. TheSitka park honors the TgnightNative Alaskan tribe. Insteadof a car I used a bike to getaround that area. That partof the state of Alaska is a stopfor cruise ships using theAlaskan inside passage,” hesaid.

While in Alaska,Satterfield got introduced tosalmon and halibut fishing inthe Alaskan streams. His next

stop was a job in Hot Spring,Arkansas. In Arkansas, hestarted his own remodelingcompany doing constructionand restoration work.

“I love the outdoors since Iwas a kid here in Orwell. I’vegot to see parts of the worldfew people get to,” Satterfieldsaid.

One of the items hebrought home from NewZealand is a carved bone

necklace made by a Maorinative artist. It is a tribalmask which Satterfield callshis “lucky piece.“

Satterfield before cominghome to Orwell to be familymembers, established per-manent residency in Wyo-ming. He has a job with theNational Park Service work-ing in the Grand Teton Na-tional Park.

“I’m living near JacksonHole, Wyoming and love thearea. This fall I hope to dosome elk hunting. It’s theclosest you can get to theWild West,” he joked.

Satterfield said this pastwinter at the Grand TetonNational Park his carpentrycrew remodeled one of thevisitor centers at the park.

“We got lots of snow thispast winter, about 700inches. During the wintermonths we do a lot of inte-rior work on lodges and build-ings. I’m looking forward toreturning to Wyoming afterthis visit home with mybrothers, sister Brittany andparents. I drove straightthrough 26 hours this time,”Satterfield said.

Asked if he’s put his jobexperiences in a journal yet,Satterfield smiled replying,“No, but I just might.”

• Western ReserveGreenway Bike Trail - biketrail traffic will be main-tained at all times fromApril 1 to November 15. Atother times throughout theyear, there will be a periodnot exceed four monthswhen a detour will beposted for trail users.

To facilitate construc-tion of the tunnel to con-vey the Western ReserveGreenway Bike Trail underI-90, the trail will need tobe closed and trail usersdetoured during construc-tion, officials said.

“Use of federal fundssubjects the proposed un-dertaking to the require-ments of Section 4(f) of theDepartment of Transpira-tion (DOT) Act of 1966.This federal law protectspublicly owned parks, rec-reation areas, wildlife andwaterfowl refuges and pub-lic or privately-owned his-torical resources. Due tothe scope of the proposedundertaking and the pres-ence of Section 4(f) prop-erty, measurements tominimize harm have beendeveloped that create a deminimis impact (as definedin 23 CFR 774.17) on theWestern ReserveGreenway Bike Trail. Ap-plying a de minimis deter-mination allows for all pos-sible planning to minimizeharm by reducing impactson the Section 4(f) property(Western ReserveGreenway Bike Trail) forprotection,” officials said.

Officials added, “Theproposed undertaking in-cludes all possible plan-ning to minimize harm tothe Section 4(f) property.The primary functions andcomponents of the recre-ational area will not besubstantively impaired bythe proposed undertaking.The location and amount ofpermanent right-of-wayneeded for construction ac-tivities will not impair theintended use or function ofdesignated recreational ac-tivities associated withWestern ReserveGreenway Bike Trail, inwhole or part. There willbe no anticipated perma-nent adverse physical im-pacts or permanent inter-ference with the activitiesor use of the recreationalareas within Western Re-serve Greenway Bike Trail.The proposed scope of workis minor in nature and themagnitude of changes tothe Section 4(f) property isminimal and the assess-ment of impacts and pro-posed mitigation, in re-gards to maintaining ac-cess and safety, are consid-ered to be reasonable andacceptable.”

ODOT officials said theproposed project is not ex-pected to impact any cul-tural resources or suspecthazardous waste sites, butwill result in minor im-pacts to ecological re-sources.

“The project will not re-sult in substantial impactsto the environment eitherindividually or cumula-tively. In compliance withSection 106 of the NationalHistoric Preservation Actof 1966, as amended (codi-fied as 36 CFR 800), ODOTrequests information re-garding the presence ofany known cultural re-sources in the vicinity ofthe project. Cultural re-sources include prehistoricand historic archaeologicalsites, historic bridges, his-toric buildings, sites anddistricts,” officials said.

Questions and/or com-ments regarding theproject may be submittedto ODOT until July 27,2012.


SAYBROOK TOWNSHIP- Students at the formerSaints John and Paul Schoolwill have a new buildingname to go along with theirnew location next year.

The Board of Directors ofSaints John & Paul Schoolhas approved a new namefor the school effective July1, 2012.

In its move to a new loca-tion, 7911 Depot Rd. inSaybrook Township, theschool will now be calledSaint John School.

The name reflects thelegacy and history of theschool, school officials said.

In 1953, when a Catholichigh school was opened inAshtabula, it was namedSaint John High School. Atthat time there were threeCatholic elementary schoolsin the city of Ashtabula –Saint Joseph, Mother of Sor-rows, and Mount Carmel. In1989, the three elementaryschools merged into one –Ashtabula Catholic Elemen-tary School. When the el-ementary school and highschool merged in 1997, theK-12 school was namedSaints John & Paul, accord-ing to information providedby school officials.

“Although the school hasbeen Saints John & Paul forthe last 15 years, manypeople still refer to it asSaint John. The move to anew location signals a newchapter in the history andtradition of Catholic educa-tion in the Ashtabula area. Moving on also involvesmaintaining a rich and sto-ried history including thelegacy of St. Joseph,Mother of Sorrows, MountCarmel, Saint John HighSchool, and Saints John &Paul School,” SisterMaureen Burke, SNDpresident of the school,commented.

Burke added, “We havebeen entrusted with alegacy that must not onlybe maintained and pre-served but expanded and

deepened. As a studentcommented, the name isnot as important as who weare and what we represent. We are Heralds now andforever. Throughout theyears, the school has re-tained its commitment tofostering scholarship, faithand leadership. The familyspirit, the importance oftradition, and the commit-ment to the young people ofthe area have allowed forthe preservation of Catho-lic education in Ashtabula. It is a proud history and weembrace it as our legacy forthe future.”

Saint John School willbe moving to a new locationat 7911 Depot Rd. inSaybrook Township at thebeginning of the 2012-2013school year.

Saint John School is ac-cepting applications for stu-dents entering Pre-Schooland Grades K-12. The Pre-School has a three- andfour-year-old program forboth two and three days aweek. Kindergarten is afull-day program. Studentsin grades PreK-12 have op-portunities for Music, Artand other specialized cur-riculum programs, includ-ing online classes for stu-dents in high school and aOne-One computer programfor students in grades 7-10. “A 1:12 student-teacherratio, a safe and respectfullearning environment andchallenging and innovativeacademic programs providefor a transformative educa-tional experience for stu-dents of all faiths and back-grounds,” officials said.“Saint John serves studentsfrom throughout the countywith busing provided by lo-cal public school districts.”

Taking aim

Economically vulnerable residents in Ashtabula County willbenefit from a new OSU Extension and AmeriCorps programdesigned help struggling homeowners with our country’s mort-gage crisis. The Ashtabula County Extension office is pleasedto be selected as one of the host sites for two AmeriCorps vol-unteers who will provide community outreach and family-basedcoaching beginning in August 2012. The goal of the program isto help improve the long-term security of economically vulner-able homeowners in rural, Ohio.

Ohio is one of the “hardest hit” states in the country formortgage delinquencies and foreclosures: one in every six Ohiomortgage holders is either 30 days delinquent or in foreclo-sure. The fastest growth in foreclosure rates is found in Ohio’srural areas. However, these counties lack the capacity and fi-nancial resources to engage in meaningful foreclosure preven-tion outreach efforts. To help, twenty AmeriCorps volunteerswill be placed in Ohio State University Extension offices ineleven counties around the state to support loss mitigationprograms.

David Marrison, County Extension director for AshtabulaCounty stated, “We are very excited for Ashtabula County to

OSU Extension and AmeriCorps partner tohelp rural homeowners in financial distress

be select as a host for two AmeriCorps volunteers-it is the shotin the arm that we need!”

He continued by stating, “We understand times have beentough for our residents. The counseling and education focus ofthis program will help Ashtabula County residents meet theirfinancial challenges in a direct and positive way.”

Housing Corps is currently taking applications from collegegraduates for 20 AmeriCorps members who will be employedfrom August 15, 2012 until June 7, 2013. The AmeriCorps mem-bers will serve 1,700 hours during their 10.5 months of serviceand will be provided a $1,152 per month living allowance anda federal education award up to $5,550 to repay qualified stu-dent loans and to pay education costs at qualified institutionsof higher education and training programs for successfulcompletion of the service term.

Ohio author shares story to helpreaders cope with aging parents

CONNEAUT, Ohio – In her new book releasing thismonth, “Forever My Love to You Both,” local author Jo AnneMorris presents a memoir-style guide designed to help read-ers cope with the awful eventuality they all must gothrough—helping their parents through their times of infir-mity and coming to terms with the end of their lives.

The book can be read for its insightful tips and advice, orit can simply be read as a therapeutic portrayal of one oflife’s most difficult times.

Morris has opened up her life and written about her ex-periences with these issues in a very straightforward man-ner. Her book sheds light on all the wonderful and horriblethings one can expect to deal with, from the heartfelt con-versations that will happen between child and parent at thistime to the tough decisions that have to be made in regardto limiting a parent’s freedoms for their own safety.

Published by Tate Publishing and Enterprises, the bookis available through bookstores nationwide, from the pub-lisher at www.tatepublishing.com/bookstore, or by visitingbarnesandnoble.com or amazon.com.

Morris lives in Conneaut, Ohio, with her husband. Formore information, visit foreverismylove.tateauthor.com.

COLUMBUS – Withweather forecasters predict-ing the hot and dry condi-tions experienced in thestate to continue for the nextfew days, the Ohio Emer-gency Management Agencyand the Ohio EnvironmentalProtection Agency are em-phasizing that no permis-sion for open burning of de-bris has been authorized.This will be the case untilfurther notice. In the severehot and dry conditions fore-casted for the state, the po-tential for fires to spread outof control is greatly in-creased.

Ohioans clearing debrisfrom their property in re-stricted areas will not be per-mitted to burn the materialuntil weather conditions im-prove. Ohioans clearing de-bris from their property inunrestricted areas arestrongly discouraged fromburning storm debris.

Under Ohio rules, openburning is not permitted in

restricted areas, which in-clude:

—The boundaries of anymunicipal corporation;

—Corporation limits anda 1,000-foot zone outside anymunicipal corporation hav-ing a population of 1,000 to10,000; and

—Corporation limits anda one-mile zone outside anymunicipal corporation witha population of more than10,000.

In areas outside thosezones, there are fewer re-strictions and open burningis allowed if it complies withstate rules and local ordi-nances. Again, Ohio EPA dis-courages open burning inthese areas at all times, andcertainly until dry condi-tions are less severe.

In addition, many areasof Ohio are experiencing airquality concerns. Open burn-ing sends smoke and tinyparticles into the air andleads to diminished air qual-ity.

ANDOVER - Donations ofnon-perishable foods, paperproducts as well as mon-etary dollars are needed forthe Pymatuning Valley FoodPantry. The pantry is oper-ated out of the AndoverUnited Methodist Church,said volunteer Sandy John.

This summer the pantryis adding fresh produce foodfor distribution. The producedistribution dates are on thefood pantry open days, thesecond Friday each monthfrom 10 a.m. to noon at thechurch. The pantry will alsobe open July 19, Aug. 16, and

Sept. 20 for the produce dis-tribution days.

John said the pantry pro-vides food to all eligible fami-lies and individuals withinthe PV School District com-munities. Monetary dona-tions will be used to pur-chase food from the Cleve-land Food Bank.

“Money is especially help-ful as each pound of food pur-chased costs us only fourcents. Boxes and cans of foodare always appreciated. Alldonations should be freshand within the best buydate,” John explained.

“Our community has beengiven the opportunity andchallenge of feeding itself. If

we all work together we cando just that,” she said.

A staff of volunteers meetweekly to sort and shelveitems for the pantry distri-bution each month. Paperproducts are also needed.

Area businesses are be-ing asked to also support thePV Food Pantry this sum-mer and through the year.Persons donating mon-etarily by checks should des-ignate the words “food pan-try” on the check.

ASHTABULA TOWN-SHIP - The Spirit ofAmerica Program held itsfinal day last Wednesdaywith students getting aride on jet skis with theCoast Guard.

The Spirit of AmericaProgram is a summer pro-gram for students inmiddle school who live inthe area and want to learnabout water safety.

“The students are learn-ing how to operate jet skistoday,” said Geoff Galiffo,program coordinator. “It’swindy, but we have helpfrom Coast Guard and theAshtabula City policeboat.”

The program is allhands-on based as stu-dents get a chance to tryeach water activity fea-tured throughout themonth-long, summercamp-like class.

The students jet skiedto the boats stationed offthe coast of Lake Erie forthe day, where they thenwere taught the properway to control and drive ajet ski with their certifiedtrainers.

The program was amonth long, with studentshaving a chance to ridekayaks, swim and learnother water procedures.

Their last day was notjust over with the jet skis,though. The students thenwent on to the AshtabulaYacht Club, where theyhad a chance to learn andask questions aboutyachts.

The students were re-ally excited about the pro-gram and could be seenanxiously waiting for theirjet ski ride at LakeshorePark in Ashtabula Town-ship.

Genealogical Society met onJune 27, 2012, in the meet-ing room at the Geneva Pub-lic Library to hear a presen-tation by Thomas StephenNeel, Library Director of theOhio Genealogical Society.Mr. Neel used Power Pointto demonstrate his discus-sion of the value of “UsingTax Records to Trace YourAncestors.” He pointed outthat tax lists are compileddifferently and that it is im-portant to know guidelines ofeach. School taxes, roadtaxes, and those collected tocare for the poor used vary-ing formats. Most lists in-clude the name of the adultmale in the household and donot list family members. Itis both helpful and confusingto sort the alphabeticrecords. Interesting facts ofearly records include: logcabins were not taxed; landwas rated as to usefulness(depending on its conditionsuch as cleared or not andhow rocky it might havebeen). Of course all the listswere hand-written as werethe receipts for payment.Fortunately many of thesehave managed to survive.

Quit Rent Listingswhereby a farmer paid a feeor tax to an overlord eventhough he now owned theproperty contain valuableinformation. This customwas continued for some timemainly in New York, Mary-land, and Pennsylvania aspart of the original ManorSystem.

Tax lists can be extremelyvaluable to researchers be-cause they were written an-nually and not every tenyears; establish estimate ofages since only those whohad reached their majoritywere listed; can give an esti-mate of death when an indi-vidual is no longer listed;provide clues as to the finan-cial status of the family; giveevidence of ownership ofproperty; identify slaves; andmight include the only recordwhen census rolls are miss-

Help Protect Ohio’s Great Fishing ResourcesReport fishing violations to the ‘Turn In a Poacher’ hotline

COLUMBUS - Anglers throughout the state cando their part to protect Ohio’s high quality fishingby reporting fishing violations they observe to theTurn In a Poacher (TIP) hotline at 800-POACHERor online at ohiotip.com, according to the Ohio De-partment of Natural Resources’ (ODNR) Division ofWildlife.

Each year, the TIP hotline receives approximately4,800 calls from concerned citizens reporting viola-tions involving the poaching, or illegal taking, of fishand game, trespassing, commercialization of wild-life and the over-harvesting of fish and game. Sinceits inception in 1982, more than 3,000 convictionshave been made using information from the hotline.While the majority of TIP reports are received dur-ing the hunting seasons, anglers should rememberthat the TIP hotline is available year-round.

“Double-tripping, keeping fish over the daily baglimit and snagging walleye and other species of gamefish are serious violations of the law,” said Ron Ollis,

law enforcement program administrator for the Di-vision of Wildlife. “Ohio’s state wildlife officers relyon law-abiding anglers to be our eyes on the water,and we request that people report any suspicious ac-tivity that they observe.”

Anglers are reminded not to approach anyone com-mitting a wildlife violation. Instead, take note of theviolation, date, time, location and the license platesof any vehicles in the vicinity.

Hammett, PA, June 17, 2012: Rain was in the area whenthe Outlaws rolled into town but in time trials Union, KY’sDarrell Lanigan, defending race champion, set fast time witha quick time of 15.968 seconds around the 3/8 mile EriezSpeedway at an average of 84.544 MPH. Second quick wasWatertown, NY’s Tim McCreadie at 16.079 seconds and 83.960MPH. Rain appeared at lap three in the second B-Main bring-ing a rain-delay that lasted nearly an hour. Mother Naturedidn’t win this time and the fans saw a competitive featurethat saw Lanigan take home the winner’s share of the purse.Tim McCreadie, who led the most laps, wound up second with2011 champion Rick Eckert third, rookie Bub McCool fourth,and pole-sitter Chub Frank fifth. The companion features werewon by Pat McGuire, Dustin Eckman, and Max Blair.

In the first heat Davey Johnson got off to an early lead butspun sideways coming out of turn two, collecting the cars ofKent Robinson, John Lobb, John Volpe, and Doug Eck withBloomington, IN’s Robinson flipping one and a half times,landing on his roof.

Four heat races transferred four cars each to the 50-lap“A” Main and two “B” Mains transferred three more cars each.Heat races were won by Lanigan, Boom Briggs, Russell King,and Chub Frank. B-Mains were won by Pat Doar and JeffFuller. In the redraw for starting positions from the top twoin each heat, Chub Frank wound up on the pole with 2006series champion Tim McCreadie outside front row. Provisionalstarters Kent Robinson and John Lobb were added to the fieldby the World of Outlaws and Rich Gardner was added as thetrack provisional. Lobb used his brother Randy’s car for thefeature and Robinson, who had destroyed his mount in theheat race roll-over, used the “crate car” of local driver RobBates.

Tim McCreadie led the first lap with Shane Clanton,fresh off a $100,000 win in “The Dream” at Eldora Speed-way, taking over at the front in lap two. After a lap twocaution Frank re-assumed second when green again flew

but Clanton was opening a lead. At lap nine Jack Sullivanlooped his mount in turn four. Frank again ran second withMcCreadie digging on the bottom of the track, regainingsecond at lap 13. Clanton’s excellent run at the front endedat lap 14, when he suddenly slowed and pulled to the in-field. McCreadie, who won Saturday night at HagerstownSpeedway, then led the way with Frank again second.Darrell Lanigan, the 2011 winner of this race was third atthis point with Mike Knight, Eriez point’s leader, fourth.Two laps before halfway Frank got wide and “jumped thecushion” in turn two, allowing Lanigan to slip by for sec-ond. At 30 laps into the event, 2012 World of Outlaws cham-pion Rick Eckert slipped by Frank for third. Caution againflew at lap 38 when fifth-running Mike Knight suddenlyslowed on the backstretch. After green Lanigan went to thehigh side and began challenging for the lead just as JohnLobb spun in turn four at lap 41, again slowing the field.Lanigan again immediately went to the high side aftergreen and got by the leader three laps later, then went onto his second successive Eriez Speedway win.

With rain in the forecast and bearing down on the speed-way, racing got underway for the Bonnell Collision StreetStocks with pole-sitter Mark Frontera leading the first fivelaps before being supplanted at the front by eventual winner,2011 champion Pat McGuire. The finish was McGuire,Frontera, John Phelps Jr, Andy Faulhaber, and KevinWetherall.

Dustin Eckman took off with the immediate lead in theConway & O’Malley Limited Late Model feature and built abig lead until Steve Kania spun mid-pack at lap six, collect-ing four cars. Eckman went on to the win, his first LimitedLate Model triumph at Eriez over Chris McGuire, Dan Maxim,Stan Davis, and Mike Lozowski.

The Dan’s Route 8 Boardwalk Bar and Grill FASTRAKLate Model feature was brought to the green flag by DamianBidwell and Zack Carley with Bidwell spinning on turn two.When racing resumed defending champion Kyle Zimmermanled the first lap with Bob Dorman coming to second and MaxBlair third. At lap six Bruce Hordusky Jr and Bobby Rohrergot together in turn two, again bringing caution over thespeedway. At green Blair succeeded in getting by Dorman inturn one ten by the leader in turn four. Dorman came to thelead when Blair and Zimmerman went high the next lap. Blair

then retook the lead a lap later and went on to the win.Dorman spun from the second spot at lap 15. Zimmermanwound up second with Jamie Brown third, Chad Wrightfourth, and Matt Latta fifth.
