A note from the editorIn November, North Canton residents will be voting on a number of issues as well as city council seats and school board members. At Our Town, we thought it was important to bring you up to speed on the issues and the candidates so we have included a special voter section in the center of the magazine with candidate bios and explanations of issues. We also decided to take a look at the history of local politics and explore the minds of young voters. We hope you will take the opportunity to vote on Nov. 5 and will feel better informed after reading this edition of Our Town North Canton.

One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by inferiors. Plato

Before there’s frost on the pumpkin, enjoy a warm autumn afternoon on the farm – the Kingsway Pumpkin Farm. Located at 1555 Andrews St.,Hartville, between Market and Kent avenues. Kingsway Pumpkin Farm is a family-oriented fall adventure.More than a pumpkin patch, Kingsway

Pumpkin Farm offers hayrides, a farm animal petting area, fire truck slides, bonfires, train rides, a playground area, a pirate ship and a corn maze.“Each year we add something new,”

said Kevin King, one of the King family who own the farm. “This year we added a children’s zip line.”Also new is a schoolhouse in Western

Town, a play area built like the wild, wild west. “There are a couple of things we do

that make us different,” said Kevin. “We create a non-scary environment. We are fall focused, not Halloween focused – which is good for families who have younger children. A two-year old frightens easier than an older sibling, so we focus on fall fun.”Another aspect

of Kingsway Pumpkin Farm that sets them apart is the art. Kevin’s mother, Mary, a former art teacher, designs and paints the colorful props around the farm. Her designs are distinctively happy and adventuresome. Over the years, Mary designed and created fun scarecrows and painted pumpkins. Her art is an excellent backdrop for family photos.Kingsway Pumpkin Farm welcomes

visitors for a hayride out to the pumpkin field. In the field, families can select a pumpkin to take home to carve or paint or to place on the doorstep. Also on sale are corn stalks and gourds for a fall decoration. “Our primary focus is younger

families,” said Marti King. “But adults

enjoy the visit to the farm as much as the kids do.”For the smaller children, there’s an

indoor straw tunnel to crawl through. Or play in a corn crib, called a corn box. Feed or pet the farm animals. Kingsway Farm said they create memories for a child and a parent. Kevin said adults and children enjoy

the corn maze. Each year the maze has a different theme. This year the maze is Dino Quest, a large dinosaur carved out of a corn field.“We have challenges to do in the

maze,” said Kevin. “Adults and teens alike will spend a good hour in the maze.”Kingsway Pumpkin Farm hosts

birthday parties and welcomes preschool groups. For older children

and teens, they host bonfires and a trip through the corn maze. “Older kids enjoy

the hayride, the animals and the maze and bonfires,” said Kevin. K i n g s w a y

Pumpkin Farm is celebrating its

23rd year. In 1990, Mary King and her children, Kevin and Jessica, planted a handful of pumpkin seeds. With pumpkin seeds that cost $2.83 and a weed patch. They grew a business. People came out to the King Farm to pick a pumpkin. Customers enjoyed seeing the farm animals while selecting their pumpkins, so Mary, husband Lloyd, and the children brought a calf and rabbits out of a pen for visitors to pet. The business has grown tremendously as they add activities each year.Mary said only 2 percent of our

population has a direct connection to agriculture, unlike a century ago. So a

HAVING MORE RETIREMENT ACCOUNTS

IS NOT THE SAMEAS HAVING MORE MONEY.

When it comes to the number of retirement accounts youhave, the saying “more is better” is not necessarily true. Infact, if you hold multiple accounts with various brokers, itcan be di�cult to keep track of your investments and tosee if you’re properly diversi�ed.* At the very least, multipleaccounts usually mean multiple fees.

Bringing your accounts to Edward Jones could help solveall that. Plus, one statement can make it easier to see ifyou’re moving toward your goals.

All in favor of honoring Stark County women for their efforts to further women’s involvement in politics, vote Yea! But, first a little “her story” to encourage an enthusiastic vote. It seems the women of Stark County and the surrounding communities became active in women’s rights beginning in the mid 19th century, inspired by the first Women’s Rights Convention in Seneca Falls, N.Y., July, 1848. Betsey Mix Cowles, a respected Massillon school teacher and Oberlin College graduate, attended the first convention and went on to be elected the president of the second Women’s Rights Convention which was held in Salem. There, Cowles tried to bring about change by requesting the Ohio legislature to include women’s suffrage in the state constitution. Her effort failed but the issue was so impassioned among Ohio women that five of the first seven conventions were held in the state - Salem, Akron, Massillon, Cleveland and Cincinnati. The Ohio Woman’s Rights Association was founded in Massillon in 1852, the first state society of its kind. Although no men graced the stage

in Salem, one male attendee, John Campbell, took notice. Campbell was so moved by the speakers that he signed legislation to grant women the right to vote and hold office in 1870 when he was the governor of the Wyoming Territory. That same year, the Evening Independent of Massillon came on board as a proponent of women’s suffrage, most likely influenced by the Women’s Rights Convention held there. In the late 19th century, the establishment of women’s clubs became popular. The clubs were formed to enrich women’s

minds and to expand their lives beyond home and church. Most of the early clubs focused on music, literature and drama. Eventually, the ladies began to

turn their attentions to women’s rights and equality and the Canton Suffrage Association was founded. Women were making headway in political change. By the time the United States became involved in World War I, but before the 19th Amendment was passed, the women of New Berlin were allowed to sign a petition to change the village’s name to North Canton. When Congress passed the 19th Amendment on June 4, 1919 it marked the culmination of years of work by the suffragettes. The amendment was ratified on Aug. 18, 1920. Ohio proudly being the fifth state to ratify it. The Canton Suffrage Association, having achieved its goal, sponsored a series of events in June of 1920, to educate women about the branches of government, political parties and the process of voting. At the final event, the former suffragettes reorganized and became the Canton Area League of Women Voters. In just five short years, the first woman, Grace Baughman, was elected to the North Canton City Council. When interviewed by a Sun reporter she said, “I surely appreciate the votes I received. I thought I would be elected. A woman had never served North Canton in this capacity before. I shall

Area women politically active for 165 years

endeavor to fill the office to the best of my ability.” Baughman was appointed to serve on the Safety Committee and the Fire and Light Committee.

The Dec. 4, 1929, issue of The Sun reported, “Council on Monday night took heed of the growing demand for a traffic signal light on the Square. It will be placed on North Main Street so as to show on cross streets as well as South Main Street. It will be installed within the next two weeks.” The Council was shown a sample with simply a red and green light and no amber. The salesman said, “Amber lights are going out of date.” Baughman made the motion to buy the light for $210 and the vote was unanimously in favor of the purchase.◊

We have local elections this fall. We’ll elect those who will

make decisions about our local economy, education, parks, and health care. Voting is a chance

for everyone 18 and over to influence public policies and make our voices heard.” said

Walking around the Walsh University campus a person gets the feel of a different type of community. Young adults are learning to spread their wings and get by without their parents looming over their every move. They are learning about becoming their future selves - doctors, nurses, teachers, writers, business people and so many more. They aren’t only learning about their future careers, they are learning how to make a difference in their community. At Walsh, students are actively taking part in the election process. As much as people believe that college students don’t want anything to do with politics – this just isn’t the case at Walsh. There are clubs like the College Democrats and College Republicans that students actively participate in every year. The purpose of the College Democrat and College Republican groups is to help students experience politics on local, state and national levels. These college groups want students to become involved with voting and the election process so that when it comes time to vote, they can make well informed decisions. Not only do these groups help students become involved, but they also let students express their own political beliefs.

Alicia Lewis, a freshman at Walsh from Ashtabula, is part of the College

Democrat group. Alicia, who is not quite 18, was asked about her thoughts on college students and politics she said she believes that many students pay more attention to the national, “major,” issues and less on the local issues. “College students should pay more attention to politics because soon we will be adults and should be aware of the current issues affecting our future,” Lewis said.

Walsh student Joanna Jacobo - Escobar, a graduate of McKinley High School, knows that now that she is 18 she should be paying closer attention to politics. “I usually only pay attention when it affects me; I know that my opinion matters when I vote.” Most students have “laid-back awareness.” Most students don’t go out of their way to hear about issues affecting their community and are usually passive about giving an opinion. Through groups like the College Democrats and College Republican students learn to be more aware and have an opinion on issues. Last year, Paul Ryan, Republican Mitt Romney’s running mate, stopped in for a moment and let the whole Walsh and North Canton community know what the Romney/Ryan plan was. Students, teachers, and members of the community flocked to see this man in action. There was no difference between the students and other members of the audience. They all had one thing in common; they cared about the upcoming election. While Romney/Ryan didn’t win the race, this rally showed the community that many college students do care about what happens in their government. But many times, like in these coming

local and state elections, college students are lost in a sea of issues that they don’t understand. Nevertheless, college students are getting more and more involved with the political process because they know that it now affects them. Students at Walsh are learning that politics do affect them greatly. These future doctors, nurses and teachers know that their opinion does matter and it’s only a matter of time until these issues affecting their community, directly affect them.◊

What other young voters are saying

“Voting is a chance to try and change the world we live in now rather than later, but the only way to make a change or a reformation is by doing something. I mean, you can talk and sing about change all you want but if you don’t get up and do something, it’s pointless.” Hannah Thoenen, 21, Stark State student “I feel like there is a lot of responsibility in voting. I think a lot of research needs done to make a decision you can feel good about. I think voters impact our community by helping choose our leaders. I think young people in general feel negative about voting because a lot of the politicians don’t target the young people. They also feel that their vote may not make that much of a difference.” Destiny Ross, 19, Malone University student “Voting is important to me because we are given the opportunity of molding our world with what we believe we should do. Giving the right to vote is something precious because some people aren’t given this luxury. Vote with what you believe and not what you’re told to believe.” Courteney Thoenen, 18, first time voter


Jeremy Watts Staff WriterAmerican elections are considered the

envy of the world. Citizens (often from the more oppressive states) around the globe conduct viewing parties, hold banquets and wager on the outcome of democracy’s longest running peaceful election process.From large cities to small towns, urban

dwellers to rural farmers, every corner in the states has a unique election story about the most prized of civic duties.North Canton’s story begins before

there even was a North Canton. In fact, it begins before New York City had eclipsed a million person population. Before the direct election of senators. Before both World Wars. Before indoor plumbing and widespread electrical usage. Our election story begins atop a dry goods box four feet long by three feet tall. In the square of the tiny Ohio town of

New Berlin, local hotel owner Michael Bitzer asked a Canton dignitary to make a speech in front of a gathering of less than 100 townsfolk. The request was made in jest to a young man named William McKinley – who would later go on to become the 25th president. Though the content of the brief speech is lost to the annuls of time, the event of the 19th century speech was recorded by the New York Times.McKinley was the first of national

political figures to grace North Canton with their presence. In 1960, future president Richard M. Nixon drove through town in a convertible and gave a speech at the square. More than a thousand onlookers crowded the sidewalks and streets, some even viewed from nearby rooftops. Coincidentally, Nixon’s opponent and eventual winner of the 1960 election, John F. Kennedy, is rumored to have been in town around the same time.Most recently, 2012 presidential

candidate Mitt Romney held a political rally at the baseball stadium near the high school. In stark contrast to those earlier rallies and impromptu political events, the 2012 event featured not only the candidate but a bevy

of reporters, secret service agents and metal detectors. The rally was the largest in North Canton’s history pulling in more than 8,000 people from surrounding areas. “We have had a few presidential

candidates come through town,” Kathy Fernandez, director of the North Canton Heritage Society. “Municipal elections around the country

are often low key events of civic duty, but a few stick out in local lore. William “Boss” Hoover, Hoover Co. president and town benefactor, was elected an early mayor of town on the non-partisan, non-affiliated People’s Ticket. Hoover won with a total of 85 votes, thus pulling double duty for a term. A few years later, at the height of World War I, North Canton was then named New Berlin after German capital, but a

strong anti-Germanic feeling led to a petition and vote for a name change. The process of altering a city’s name is uncommon, but not unique. Perhaps the most uncommon fact about the 1918 event was the inclusion of women in the process – two years before the passage of the 19th Amendment.◊

There are certain milestones that are cherished in my memory. Two from my teen years include getting a driver’s license and registering to vote. My parents and older siblings never missed an election. They exercised their right and their responsibility to vote. I thought everyone valued this right

until I became a school superintendent. While working on my first levy campaign, I was astonished that so many citizens were not registered to vote--and even more surprised by the small number who actually turned out for elections. One volunteer expressed what all committee members felt: “Don’t they know that folks died to preserve this sacred freedom?” Perhaps the non-voters subscribe to

George Carlin’s philosophy. “I have solved this political dilemma in a very direct way: I don’t vote. On Election Day, I stay home. I firmly believe that if you vote, you have no right to complain...If you vote, and you elect dishonest, incompetent politicians, and they get into office and screw everything up, you are responsible for what they have done. You voted them in. You caused the problem.” According to BipartisanPolicy.org,

only 57.5 percent turned out to vote in the 2012 Presidential election. John Dean, a former counsel to the United States President opined, “American

voting habits are particularly striking when compared with those of other democratic nations, like Japan and Germany, where 89 percent of the potential voters go to the polls. In fact, most democracies have about 80 percent voter participation. Of the 153 democracies in the world, the United States ranks near the bottom for voter involvement.”It is interesting to note Australia

requires everyone to vote, or to pay a $50 fine. That Commonwealth believes that in a freedom loving country, voting is a moral and ethical requirement. While Carlin’s satire is one way to

look at governmental solutions, there are multiple reasons offered by the millions of people who choose not to vote. Many people are totally frustrated by the current political situation and are fed up with politics as usual. Some believe that their vote does not count while others suggest that they are too busy or the lines are too long. Other reasons involve mudslinging and heavy corporate/special interest involvement. There truly are many ways to

rationalize not voting. However, registering to vote is a simple process and anyone can vote absentee if they are too busy or out of town on election day. Plus, contrary to Carlin’s opinion, those who don’t vote or don’t vote intelligently are the problem. The main reason people choose not

Dr. Bob RodenStaff Writer

Why Vote? It is your right and responsibility to vote--and the biggest problem--is APATHY. Robert Hutchins, the former dean of Yale Law School and later president of the University of Chicago, warns: “The death of democracy is not likely to be an assassination from ambush. It will be a slow extinction from apathy, indifference and undernourishment.’’However, Carlin is on target with one

issue: We deserve the people we elect and voter apathy extends beyond just not voting. It also involves failure to get to know and fully understand the candidates and issues. As Thomas Jefferson said, “An enlightened citizenry is indispensable for the proper functioning of a republic. Self-government is not possible unless the citizens are educated sufficiently to enable them to exercise oversight.” Franklin D. Roosevelt said,

“Democracy cannot succeed unless those who express their choice are prepared to choose wisely.” Good citizenship demands that we carefully sift through the political ads, take the time to find out what candidates truly stand for and determine how issues will affect lives and the future of our children. Voting truly is a moral and ethical requirement. ◊

There’s something special about autumn. The air smells different. The leaves start changing colors. The harvest reaps pumpkins, squash and apples.My children were never thrilled about

pumpkin pie. Nor am I. The hubby would have one slice at Thanksgiving dinner and that pretty much satiated that craving for a year. There was one pumpkin recipe all

of us enjoyed. My sister-in-law Cindy was the queen of pumpkin rolls. Her pumpkin rolls were so good, people would pay her to make them. She shared her recipe with me. But you know how it goes – food always tastes better when somebody else prepares it.

When I was growing up, we had several apple trees. Fall meant delicious apples were there for the pickin’.Apple pie, apple butter, apple crisp – those are all good. But a family favorite is this recipe for apple cake. It can be served as dessert, slightly warm with whipped topping or ice cream, or serve it as a breakfast bread. I use a bundt pan and this moist cake always receives raves and requests for more.◊

Our Town Cooks

Cindy’s Pumpkin Roll Up1 cup sugar2 eggs¾ cup pumpkin (canned pumpkin)¾ cup flour1 tsp. salt2 Tbsp. cinnamon1 tsp. baking soda

Grease a cookie sheet with Crisco. Mix together the sugar, eggs and pumpkin. Mix the flour, salt, cinnamon and baking soda together and add to pumpkin mixture.

Pour the batter on the greased cookie sheet and sprinkle with ½ cup nuts (walnuts or pecans).

Bake 15 minutes at 350 degrees. Spread a tea towel on the counter and invert the baked batter. Roll towel and baked batter into a log. Set aside for 5 minutes to cool.

Filling:1 – 8 ounce package of cream cheese2 Tbsp. oleo1 cup powdered sugar1 tsp. vanillaCombine filling ingredients. Spread on cool pumpkin roll and roll up. Refrigerate or freeze in foil. Note: this filling recipe makes enough for two roll ups.

Our Town CooksApple Cake3 cups flour3 tsp. cinnamon1 tsp. baking soda1 tsp. salt1 cup butter (or margarine)¼ cup vegetable oil2 cups sugar (I use Truvia for baking)2 tsp. vanilla3 eggs3-4 large apples, peeled and diced into ½-inch chunks. (I don’t use Granny Smiths.)1 Tbsp. Raw Sugar or decorative sugar and 1 tsp. cinnamon, mixed1 cup confectioner’s sugarWater or milk Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour the bundt pan. Mix the flour, cinnamon, baking soda and salt in a bowl with a fork.

Cream together the butter, oil, sugar, and vanilla with an electric mixer. Add one egg at a time, until all three eggs.

Add the flour, cinnamon, soda and salt mixture to the creamy mixture slowly until all is moistened. Add peeled apples and mix together.

Spoon the batter into the bundt pan. Sprinkle the top of the cake batter with the Raw Sugar and cinnamon mixture.

Bake approximately 1 hour and 5 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.

Important! Allow the cake to cool at least 15 minutes before transferring it to a plate. You have to flip it again to get it right side up. Allow to cool.

Mix together the confectioner’s sugar and 5 tsp. milk (I don’t use milk if this cake is going to be stored outside the refrigerator.) You can substitute water for milk.

Drizzle the icing over the cake.This is a cake that actually tastes better after

it sits a few hours. It flavors nicely. For church snacks, I make this cake the night before and it is devoured the next morning.


Scottish Fantasy opens the Canton Symphony’s 76th season Oct. 6 at 7:30 p.m. in the newly renovated auditorium at Umstadt Performing Arts Hall, 2323 17th St. N.W., Canton. The Canton Symphony welcomes

guest artist Cleveland Orchestra Concert Master William Preucil, who will be performing Marches and Airs, a piece by local composer Eric Benjamin.“The Canton Symphony is thrilled

to welcome violinist William Preucil, concertmaster of the Cleveland Orchestra to the Canton stage on opening night,” said Barb Mucci, director of development for the Canton

Symphony. “What a wonderful start to a season filled with exceptional programming and legendary guest artists. With Pops, MasterWorks, Casual and Educational concerts scheduled from October through April, there is something for everyone to enjoy.”Gerhardt Zimmerman will be the

conductor for Scottish Fantasy. Max Bruch composed his Fantasy for Violin with Orchestra and Harp making free use of Scottish Folk Melodies in England during the winter of 1879-1880, where he was then serving as the conductor of the orchestra and chorus of the Liverpool Philharmonic Society. Because of the general

unwieldiness of its title, the work is now almost universally referred to simply as the Scottish Fantasy. It was, like nearly all of Bruch’s compositions for violin and orchestra, written expressly for the celebrated Spanish violin virtuoso Pablo de Sarasate (1844-1908). The first performance of the Scottish Fantasy took place, with Sarasate as soloist, at a Bach festival in Hamburg late in September of 1880.Formally, the Scottish Fantasy

consists of four separate and readily identifiable movements prefaced by an einleitung (introduction) marked Grave. This slow, solemn, prefatory section was said, according to one of Bruch’s friends, to represent an old bard who contemplates before a ruined castle and laments the glorious times of Scotland’s past. The first movement proper, Adagio cantabile, is an evocative piece that makes extensive use of the nostalgic Scottish folk song “Auld Rob Morris.” The second movement, Allegro, is a ternary-form scherzo that uses as its principal theme the folk song “Hey, the Dusty Miller.” The third movement, Andante sostenuto, is a graceful and winsome piece in which Bruch combines elements of sonata and variation form. Its melodic material is derived from the old air “I’m a-Doun for Lack o’ Johnnie.” The finale, Allegro guerriero, brings this unusual and fascinating work to a brilliant conclusion as the violin and orchestra explore the possibilities of the rousing Scottish war song “Scots wha hae,” which, according to legend, was first sounded by Robert the Bruce at the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314.On Oct. 19, the symphony will present

a Pops Concert at the Palace Theatre. The Pop Concert features three musical instruments- the flute, cello and stand-up base. All three played with the Canton Symphony Orchestra at one time but are now playing on the national stage playing on Disney Channel’s I Carly.“This concert is for a more general

audience,” said Mucci. “This enables a younger audience to get their feet wet to the symphony. It is a more popular style for the audience.”

Book Review

In this novel, one catches the feel of an age gone past. The reader is swept back in time to box office movies of Grace Kelly and Jimmy Stewart, of mom and pop businesses, ladies wearing gloves, small town happenings and everything decent. There are some underlying notes of the integration of the blacks and whites in public schools throughout the story which becomes more noticeable as the story continues.Our narrator is a teenage girl named

Jenny, who ponders a great many things about everyone she knows; you begin to realize her confidence is lacking but she tries to make the best out of her situations. She tells you how her sister is enthralled with Grace Kelly and wants to be just like her. On their way to a box office movie of Grace Kelly; Jenny sees a penny in the hot asphalt and picks it up. When Jenny reaches down to pick up that penny a series of events follow that sets her up for things that shape and change her life. One of the great benefits of picking

up the penny is that she is offered a job by a refined lady who owns the town jewelry shop, a Miss Shaw, who despite the scorching St. Louis heat, wears white gloves all the time and never takes them off.

Jenny reveals to the reader that her home is dysfunctional, her father is abusive to her mother, sister and to Jenny. In those days, things weren’t spoken about. So you come to realize the great lengths Jenny goes to keep her friends from finding out the truth about the nightmare she lives with. Jenny slowly begins to confide in a

girl, Aurelia, who is among the black children to be integrated into the white schools. Jenny figures Aurelia will assume she will never be invited over for a sleepover so she is a safe friend to have. The girls become close and Jenny is welcomed by Aurelia’s family. Jenny discovers love and faith. There are many twists to this novel .

As it progresses, Jenny’s confidence grows and she learns that she is not the only girl with a hurtful past or present. Jenny decides to give pennies to people who need to be encouraged or are going through a rough time, she tells them her life was changed the day she picked up the “penny.”Jenny discovers the mystery behind

her employer Miss Shaw. Jenny and Miss Shaw gain healing in their lives through unveiling their secrets. Jenny finally faces her father with the truth and gives him a penny for Christmas. It seems that its intentions are lost on him-but the freedom comes to Jenny when she tells her father about "The Penny.""The Penny" has many mysteries

and stories within the story. In that sense, this book continued to beckon to me until I had finished it. It is not the typical work done by Joyce Meyer, however listening to the author speak, she has portrayed many of her real life experiences within this novel. Both Joyce Meyer and Deborah Bedford have created a beautiful work of fiction laced with beautiful truths.◊

It was almost three decades ago, but few North Canton Hoover Vikings football fans can forget the 1984 team’s brush with legacy. Though the magical season fell three points of their ultimate goal, it represents many first for the program.In 1984, the Stark County football

ecosystem was much smaller than it is today. Massillon and McKinley were the preeminent perennial football powerhouses while across the county former power Alliance was proving erratic. The little high school in North

Canton, to put it bluntly, wasn’t even on the map. The first few years of Ed Glass’ reign as head coach showed marked improvement, but the overall impression was lacking. That is, until 1984.The 11-2 campaign wasn’t without

effort. The Vikes had more than a few close calls along the way. An early season contest against Bob Cummings’ GlenOak Golden Eagles nearly halted the campaign before it got fairly started, but the team grinded out a gritty 21-19 victory. The victory celebration was short-lived, however, with McKinley coming to town for the next home game.Until 1984, Hoover had yet to beat the

big team down south. But, as 1984

would continue to prove, it was a season of firsts. The Vikings beat the Bulldogs 19-8 in front of a packed house – a feat seldom duplicated to this day. That test was followed up two weeks later with a run-in with future Federal League co-champions, Perry Panthers. The team escaped that contest victoriously, but wasn’t so lucky in their next league contest, falling to Alliance by two points – the only regular season blemish to their record.After beating rival Jackson, the Vikings

earned their first trip to the Ohio High School Athletic Association Class AAA State Football Playoffs of the decade. Hitting their stride, the Vikings defeated

Mayfield and Lorain Admiral King - their first two opponents – by a combined total of 70-6. Those wins garnered the team a shot at the state title against Toledo St. Francis at Ohio Stadium in Columbus.The Vikings fell behind early 14-0, but

a steady defense and touchdown runs by Mike Braucher and Tim Kenville tied the game by the fourth quarter. Then it all came down to a 26-yard field goal. Despite their best efforts, the line drive ball hooked and made it over the crossbar by a few feet. St. Francis went on to win the game and the title 17-14.The Federal League Champion

Vikings were the cream of the Stark County crop that year. Four Vikings

– WR Steve Schick, DB Andy Logan, LB Shawn Zimmerman and QB Mike Braucher – earned honors from the Canton Repository’s All-County team; Ed Glass garnered the Coach-of-the- Year Award. Three players earned All-State designations.The 1984 season represents a high-

water mark for football in North Canton. Its success on the field has not been duplicated, but a trend followed with several trips to the playoffs and even a regional championship along the way. The 1984 team will forever hold a place in the hearts of Hoover fans as one of the few very special teams in history.◊

Fall is upon us and one of the golden treasures we have in this part of the U.S. is the changing of the leaves. The fall colors give us one last look at beauty before the winter sets in. There are so many places that are loaded with fall scenic adventures. One that is close by and offers something a little different is the area of Chautauqua and Salamanca, N.Y.

On the schedule are dozens of workshops and fall festivals, which pay honor to the areas agricultural heritage including Busti Apple Festival, Festival of

Grapes or Red, White and Blues Festival. Andrew Nixon, executive director of at the C h a u t a u q u a County Visitors Bureau, said with the Colors of Chautauqua they are striving to broaden the leisure learning experience for visitors beyond the nine week program season at the Chautauqua Institution. “The Colors of Chautauqua is a collection of several dozen

classes, tours, dinners, tastings and hands-on work experiences meant to entertain while engaging the mind in a new way,” Nixon said. Visit www.tourchautauqua.com.
