Grafton Hot Stove Teams State Championship Parade
Members of two State Championship softball teams get ready for an escorted parade to celebrate.
Two Grafton Hot Stove Softball Teams won State Championships this summer. On Wednesday evening, July 25, the members of Resar Construction and Plas Brothers Paving,
along with their families and friends, gathered at Midview High School. With balloons, pom-poms and window paint, they decorated vehicles. The players wore their uniforms,
championship medallions and fun accessories. Many sat in the back of pick up trucks holding tall trophies. Escorts from the Grafton Police Department then started the parade
of cars and trucks from the school to Willow Park. Plas Brother Paving won the Class B Championship and Resar Construction won the Class A Championship. Congratulations!
New South Branch Library coming soon to Elyria
The Elyria Public Library System has acquired property at 340 15th Street for the new South Branch
Library building. The property is located two blocks south of the new Elyria City School District school site
and easily accessible from both Middle and West Avenues. Its generous size will permit a branch library,
parking and some green space.
The Library’s architects and engineers will study whether any of the existing building, the former Smith
Dairy, can be renovated or whether it must be demolished and replaced. Either way, the neighborhood will
be improved by the transformation of the blighted structure.
Library Director Lyn Crouse explained that the City of Elyria was invaluable in helping the library ac-
quire the land by allocating a portion of their Federal grant money to help finance environmental testing at
the site.
Mayor Holly Brinda said: “The City of Elyria is happy to partner with the Elyria Public Library System
in their rebuilding efforts. We were happy to use funds from our U.S. EPA Brownfield Assessment Grant to
fund the Phase I & II Environmental Studies for the south side library annex, which saved the library over
$27,000. We look forward to our ongoing collaborative relationship with the library rebuilding project.”
The library previously held a series of Community Conversations and did surveys to get residents’ input,
and schematic design is underway on the new South Branch Library building.
There will be name recognition opportunities available for individuals, organizations and businesses who
wish to contribute to the building project. Contact Library Director Lyn Crouse at (440) 322-0244 or lyn.
[email protected] for additional information on how your donation can make a lasting impact on the
community. The former Smith Dairy can be renovated or demolished and replaced.

Many people are concerned about the welfare of hens
spending time in battery cages. These cages prevent hens
from fighting with one another, but they also put the birds in
very tight quarters. Battery cages were often coveted because
their sloped floors allowed clean eggs to roll away into collec-
tion areas, making the process less labor-intensive.
Farmers are trying to find a balance between keeping eggs
clean and birds safe while providing humane living conditions
without affecting the cost of eggs. In some areas, such as the
European Union, battery cages are no longer in use. Egg-lay-
ing hens in Canada also may find battery cages a thing of
the past thanks to the a new NFACC code for the care and
handling of Canada’s hens.
In addition, Publix, Wal-Mart, Costco, Denny’s, and more
than 20 other major companies have stopped buying eggs
from producers who use battery cages.
Group housing
Veal production has long been a point of contention among
animal welfare activists. The traditional option has been keep
calves alone in “veal crates,” which are small and provide
limited movement. Many veal farmers have slowly transi-
tioned away from veal crates, says the organization Animal
Smart. Group pens and indoor barns are climate-controlled
and allow calves to stay together. Some farms even afford
the calves some outdoor time for fresh air.
Group housing is more social and less restrictive for the
calves. According to the American Veal Association, veal
farmers spent more than $50 million over 10 years to tran-
sition to these group housing systems. Calves can stand,
stretch, lie down, groom themselves, and benefit from year-
round ventilation to thrive.
Furthermore, milk-fed calves raised for veal are raised
until age 22 weeks, and marketed at 500 pounds, which is
much older and larger than many people likely know, accord-
ing to AVA.
Great strides are being made to ensure that livestock are
provided humane living conditions and environments to keep
them comfortable and safe.
