The annual Firemen’s Water Fight drew a crowd at the Grafton Village Firemen’s Festival. Children played in the spray of the hoses on the warm afternoon. The

hoses at a weighted object until it reaches one side or the other. This year, the winners were the reigning champions from Grafton Township. Carlisle Township took
second place.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record
of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. --Corinthians 13:4-7

Bollinger Funeral Goods & Services

Why We Do What We Do....

Imagine if you will that your loved one has just passed away. Many people would call the same funeral
home their family has been calling for decades. That’s all right, but there is another choice. Traditional fu-
neral homes are often large beautiful buildings on meticulously landscaped property. When you have these
funeral homes handle the funerals of your loved ones you are paying for all of this. Additionally, there are
nice cars, large staffs, and other amenities for which you pay. With Bollinger Funeral Goods and Services,
you do not have to pay for all of these extra items. We operate out of a small store-front and then work with
you to ?nd alternative locations for services. By having a much lower overhead than traditional funeral
homes, we can offer savings of over 50% and even as much as 75%. Even our Direct Burial and Direct Cre-
mation (services without visitations or services) are considerably less expensive because again, we do not
have all that overhead for which you have to pay regardless of the type of service you select.

I have been a licensed Funeral Director and Embalmer here in Northeast Ohio since 1984 and I know how
funeral homes have to charge the families they serve. I believe that funerals do not have to cost as much as
they do to be meaningful to the survivors. I got into this business to
help people, and for the funeral of a loved one to be a ?nancial burden
to the survivors is not helping people.

When a service or visitation is desired, there are many other location
options besides funeral homes. Consider if you will that some people
have returned to days of old, with visitations in people’s homes. Oth-
ers are using churches, or fraternal halls, or other community locations.
Memorial services (without the physical decedent present) are being held
in libraries, parks, the zoo, yacht clubs, country clubs, golf clubs, etc. We
simply encourage people to “think outside of the box” so to speak and to
inform them of these options.
By calling us, we can assist you with free information on much more
fair-priced funeral solutions. We can assist you with advance funeral plan-
ning as well as at-need planning.
Additionally, we offer to the public a complete line of caskets, burial
vaults, urns (for humans as well as pets), headstones and monuments, and
other funeral merchandise at a considerable savings over most funeral
homes. We will deliver these items to the funeral home or cemetery of
your choice anywhere in Ohio. Other funeral homes must accept our mer-
chandise without additional charges by law, thus providing you more affordable options.
Our goal is to provide professional, caring, and digni?ed services to the people we serve without overpaying.
Call for an appointment or stop in and look around our showroom to see for yourself the available options for
your memorials and services and see how you can save hundreds and even thousands of dollars.

To conserve water, homeowners can ?ll 5-gallon buckets with water and poke small holes in
the bottom of the buckets so water can be delivered slowly and consistently to tree roots and

Drought can be a time of stress for many plants. Homeowners should reduce gardening efforts
and disturbances as much as possible. Now is the time to curtail mowing, thatching, aerating,
planting, and pruning. Let the landscape rest as it uses its energy to survive the harsh conditions.
In addition to these management tips, homeowners can take precautionary measures against
drought by choosing native, drought-tolerant plants and using mulch to keep the soil moist.

Novice gardeners may not know where to begin when it comes
to planting their ?rst vegetable gardens, and such gardeners can

bene?t by starting small. You may want to begin by grow-
ing plants in containers so they are more manageable
and can be moved as you discover which areas of
your property provide the best growing conditions.

Begin with one or two types of vegetables. Toma-
toes, cucumbers and certain squashes are popular
starter plants, as they are relatively hardy. Select only
a few plants so you are not overwhelmed with the level
of care required to maintain your garden.

Some gardeners prefer to start plants from seeds, but this will require more time and a greater
commitment with regard to maintenance and planting. When just starting out, experiment with
small plants that are established and already have a good root system.

Consult with your local gardening center for more suggestions, such as which soil amendments
to use. Plants may require a certain soil pH that can be adjusted for optimal plant growth.

Flag Day recognizes the “birth” of the
American ?ag, the symbol of our great nation.

On June 14, 1777, the Continental
Congress of?cially established the ?ag

of our new nation.
The original American ?ag consisted of 13 stripes,
alternating red and white, and 13 white stars in a blue
?eld, which represented the “New Constellation”

of 13 colonies.
Our ?ag’s colors are also symbolic.
Red signi?es hardiness and valor;
white stands for purity and innocence;
and blue represents vigilance, perseverance and justice.
Display your ?ag on June 14, Flag Day, and let everyone
know how proud you are to be an American.

The Pledge of Allegiance

“I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America and to the Republic
for which it stands, one Nation under God, Indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”

The Pledge of Allegiance received of?cial recognition by Congress in an Act approved on June
22, 1942. However, the pledge was ?rst published in 1892 in the Youth’s Companion magazine
in Boston, Massachusetts to celebrate the 400th anniversary of the discovery of America, and
was ?rst used in public schools to celebrate Columbus Day on October 12, 1892.

In its original version, the pledge read “my ?ag” instead of “the ?ag of the United States.” The
change in the wording was adopted by the National Flag Conference in 1923. The rationale for
the change was that it prevented ambiguity among foreign-born children and adults who might
have the ?ag of their native land in mind when reciting the pledge.

The phrase “under God” was added to the pledge by a Congressional act approved on June 14,
1954. At that time, President Eisenhower said:

“in this way we are reaf?rming the transcendence of religious faith in America’s heritage and
future; in this way we shall constantly strengthen those spiritual weapons which forever will be
our country’s most powerful resource in peace and war.”
