Sheriff Phil R. Stammitti and his staff are kicking off the 2nd annual “Cram the Cruiser Campaign.” During the
week of the Lorain County Fair, a Sheriff’s Of?ce Patrol Car will be parked at the Lorain County Sheriff’s Headquar-
ters located just inside the Main Gate at the Lorain County Fair Grounds. Their goal is to ?ll the cruiser with school
supplies as many times as possible during the week. Visitors to the Fair are encouraged to bring school supplies to
help “Cram the Cruiser.” The following school supplies are needed: No. 2 pencils, colored pencils, large pink erasers,
crayon boxes of 16, spiral bound composition notebooks, pocket folders, highlighters, index cards, ballpoint pens,
water based markers, glue sticks, drawing paper, plastic boxes for storing items, rulers/protractors, scotch tape, loose
leaf notebook paper and 4 ounce bottles of white glue.

This year, all school supplies collected will be donated to the Columbia and Wellington School Districts. Each
year, two different school districts will be selected to receive donated supplies. Any business, organization or citizen
that would like to donate supplies, but will not be attending the Fair, can drop their donation off at the Sheriff’s Of?ce
Lobby, located at 9896 Murray Ridge Road, in Elyria, or contact the Lorain County Sheriff’s Of?ce at 440-329-3844
and arrangements will be made to collect your donation. Your support of this event is truly appreciated. Remember,
donations of any size have a positive impact.

It was an amazing season for the Midview Mani-
acs! They completed their perfect season at 25-0, by
capturing the 2015 Ohio Hot Stove State Championship
in Class H (Ages 9-10), in Alliance, on Sunday, July
26. They accomplished this goal by winning all of their
tournament games by the “mercy rule” (being up 10 or
more runs after 5 innings of play). The team wants to
thank all of their families, fans and supporters and es-
pecially their Midview Youth Baseball league, for all of
their support during this great baseball season.

The men alumni came out once again to enjoy the game against this years’ CHS boys soccer team.

The women alumni showed they still have it while playing this years’ CHS girls team. This year marks the 81st anniversary of the Valley City

Although it can be easy to procrastinate and wait un-
til school starts to buy supplies, it might be prudent to
shop before the new school year begins. Many teach-
ers, in an attempt to help parents save money, publish
school-supply lists online in advance of the school year.
Most teachers do not vary their requirements from year
to year, so if your son or daughter has been assigned
a teacher, ask around among last year’s students to
see what that teacher requires. This way you can head
to the store or comparison shop online at your conve-
nience.
Some supplies are standard regardless of class as-
signment. These include pens and/or pencils, folders,
spiral notebooks, copy paper, looseleaf paper, erasers,
crayons, markers, and highlighters. Purchased indi-
vidually, the per-unit cost of each item may be higher
than purchasing these items in bulk. This is when the
advantage of buying in bulk shines through. Here are
some helpful hints for parents about to shop for school
supplies.
* Shop for frequently used items in bulk, whether from

you buy and burn ?rewood at your destination and purchase
it locally.

The ALB may look menacing, but it is harmless to people
and pets. It can be seen on trees, branches, walls, outdoor fur-
niture, cars, and sidewalks and caught in pool ?lters. With
these unique characteristics, the beetle can be easy to see:

• 1 to 1 ½ inches in length
• Long antennae banded in black and white (longer than
the insect’s body)
• Shiny, jet black body with random white spots
• Six legs
• Legs may appear bluish in color
“Signs of damage include dime-sized, perfectly round exit
holes in the tree,” says the USDA’s Rhonda Santos. “Take
a second look at trees during your summer activities. Other
evidence of the beetle includes oval depressions where the
eggs are laid, sap seeping from these wounds, and sawdust-
like material on the ground and branches.”
Visit www.asianlonghornedbeetle.com to report any evi-
dence of the ALB.
