In the September issue of the Euclid Observer, I told you about the journey Valerie and I were just about to make in the footsteps of Major Arthur Houts, who lived in Euclid with his wife Georgina (born Crichton in 1884) and their son Kenneth (1903-1985) in the 1910s.

I live in France, thousands of miles away from Euclid.
I became interested in Euclid because of a WWI soldier, Major Arthur Samuel Houts (1880-1918), who lived in Euclid.
Many years ago, I helped emptying my grand-aunt’s house, after her death. Her house was in a small village of the Meuse department, France, a place called Loison (pronounced 'Lwazon'). In the attic, there was a trunk. A trunk made of thick cardboard, wood, and metal. It had a huge red circle, lined with white, painted on it. Later I learned it was a 'buckeye', the symbol of Ohio, and of the 37th Division.
A name was also painted on the lid: Major A.S. Houts, 145th Infantry. Little by little, I learned more about him.
Major Houts lived in Euclid, Ohio, with his wife and their son. He left Cleveland in August 1917, to help building Camp Sheridan, in Montgomery, Alabama. In September, the rest of the 37th Division left Ohio and began its training in Camp Sheridan. On June 15, 1918, Major Houts embarked on the U.S.S. Leviathan (a former German ocean liner called Vaterland) and left the port of Hoboken, New Jersey.
After more training in France, the 37th went to the front in the Baccarat sector (Baccarat is a smal town of Lorraine widely known fot its luxury glassware industry). Later, the division took part in the Meuse-Argonne offensive, one of the largest battles ever fought by U.S. soldiers.

In August 2014, my girlfriend Melissa and I moved in to a house on Edgecliff that she bought from her parents after they retired to Florida. Although the location was beautiful and picturesque, the interior of the house needed work. The last time any updating took place was in the late 1970's.
About the time we were preparing to move in to the house, we saw an article on Facebook about a new TV show coming to film in Cleveland. The show, called 'Fix It and Finish It' airs locally on CBS WOIO channel 19. The show and its host, Antonio Sabato, Jr., travel the country fixing and/or finishing rooms and living spaces. (i.e. Patios, basements, kitchens, yards)
We applied via email to the producers of the show asking to have the living room updated. The wallpaper was original and a yellow/gold. Since the house was built in 1930, that meant the wallpaper was over 80 years old. The closely matching carpet was installed during the late 1970's which means it was only about 40 years old. Practically new compared to the wallpaper. The furniture in the living room was a mish-mosh of contemporary, antique and just plain awful. The thick, yellow/gold curtains, also original, could have been used in a haunted house as they blocked every speck of light from outside. They also hid the beautiful woodwork around the windows. We were in need of serious help when, almost magically, it appeared.

The Memorial Park Community Garden (MPCG) came to life in 2011 through the efforts of a group of dedicated residents, the City of Euclid, OSU Extension Service, and Cuyahoga County Board of Health. We now have 37 gardens beds, and plans for more. Our mission is to provide Euclid residents of all ages and abilities a space in which they can produce nutritious food for themselves and their community, in harmony with nature.
MPCG is not just about helping individuals to have a great gardening space in Euclid, we are dedicated to being active in the community including educational programs and hunger outreach. MPCG requires garden members to donate 10% of their crops to the Euclid Hunger Center (EHC). We have two 100 sq. ft. garden beds dedicated to the hunger center with plans for expansion. MPCG also partners with the Euclid Fruit Harvest Project in the fall to collect hundreds of pounds of fruit.

As children growing up we are taught that our hair is our crown and glory, but it seems that in this era of life, the teachings of that time are slowly evolving into non-existence. The idea that life should be so consumed with the outer impression that the inner-being is lacking in a sense of self-development.

Apples and pears abound in Euclid, and the Euclid Fruit Harvest Project people want to be sure that this delicious fruit goes to people not just our furry friends in nature. The mission of the Euclid Fruit Harvest Project is to locate abandoned or underutilized fruit trees that have edible fruit, harvest the fruit with volunteers, and donate the fruit to community organizations.
Of the 1149 pounds of fruit that was harvested so far this season, 795 pounds of fruit was donated to the Euclid Hunger Center, East Shore Church’s Soup’s On meal, and a local women’s shelter. The volunteer pickers took home the remaining good fruit to eat, cook, and preserve. Unusable fruit that was gathered from beneath the trees was taken to the Memorial Park Community Garden’s compost pile.
It started with a single pear tree in a Waterloo backyard three years ago and this year 20 volunteers harvested from 10 sites (some twice) that included trees at abandoned homes, front and backyards with owners’ permission, and even a great tasting apple tree at a local fast food restaurant. Volunteer pickers’ keen eyes spot trees during their neighborhood commutes and hand out postcards to invite homeowners to participate with our harvests.
We’ve had great support from Nicole Wright of OSU Extension with equipment and publicity. Memorial Park Community Gardeners have joined us as great fruit-finders and pickers and our mission is realized through the awareness and permission of the area fruit tree owners. If you have a tree at your home, have knowledge of a possible source, or would like to join us, please contact euclidfruitharvest@gmail.com or call 440-941-4620 and leave a message. Fruit tree care education, food preservation techniques, and increased gleaning in our community are future goals for the Euclid Fruit Harvest Project.

The Euclid Women's Ensemble has been a part of the Euclid Community since 1953. It is a group of women who get together once a week to practice to become one of the best sounding groups in the area. We have about 20 women in the group (sometimes more, sometimes less), depending on the situation and our health. We sing for Christian church meetings, in Nursing Homes, Masonic Groups, Senior Centers, Kiwinis Clubs, and we have sung at Lakeland College. We sing for free, but do accept donations and the money is used to purchase new music.
We recently decided to change our name to North Shore Women's Ensemble as our Ladies come from all over the North Eastern Shore Area. We do have one little problem. Our Director, Karen Pribula, has decided (with her husband) to retire to Florida. This will leave us one Director short for the upcoming season. So we are on the search for someone who has had experience at directing and will be available in the afternoons. We meet once a week for practice at the East Shore United Methodist Church on Lake Shore Blvd, Euclid.
If you are interested, please call 216-261-3630 and I will put you in touch with the proper people who will make the final decision.

The Annual Boots and Shoes Program, sponsored by the Euclid Kiwanis Club was a great success. During the month of November, Marie Dula contacted the Euclid School system and all of the Catholic schools in Euclid to ask for names of children who could use a pair of boots or shoes. Certificates were mailed to the parents telling them of two different dates in December, when they could come to the PayLess Shoe Source to purchase a pair of boots or shoes for their child. They were authorized a $25.00 gift certificate, to pay for their purchases.
A big thank you to the staff at the Euclid Payless Shoe Source and its manager, who made the event a special affair. Parents were allowed to come into the store before business hours, to make their selections. The children were given hats and gloves along with a Christmas goodie bag, an tooth brushes from our President, Dr. Kari Cunningham, who was on hand to put on a correct brusing, of the teeth, demonstration to children who had asked especially about flossing. It was a happy time, not only for the children who received the gifts, but also for the Kiwanis members who were there to greet and assist the parents and children.
Our goal was to give out 100 gift certificates this year. We almost reached that goal. Thanks to every one who worked on this project. Remember that all the money raised by the Kiwanis Club in Euclid, is returned back to the community in the form of projects that benefit the community.
Upcoming events are the Bowl A Thon on February 18th at Wickliffe Lanes, Honor the Citizen, Youth, Kiwanian, and Business of the year awards, The 200th Street Stroll, Our Pancake Breakfast on Palm Sunday at the Manor Country Cabin. If you would like to become a part of this active group, contact us at euclidkiwanis@gmail.com.

Very early April 29, eleven royal watchers gathered at the Euclid home of Carole Price to view the “Wedding of the Century.” Network coverage began at 4 a.m. and so did they. Due to the hour, required attire consisted of PJs, robe and slippers, and with a nod to British nuptial protocol, stylish hats! Sipping mimosas and Bloody Marys, and noshing on a buffet brunch, the activities across the pond were thoroughly dissected. All agreed the bride was exquisite, the groom handsome in uniform, and the ceremony hit just the right notes.
Viewing parties are not new to this group. In l973 several of the group were around to watch Princess Anne marry Captain Mark Phillips. The group increased in size in1981 when vigil was kept for the marriage of Prince Charles and Lady Diana. Gatherings continued through the wedding of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson and sadly, Princess Diana’s funeral.
Word has it that Zara Phillips, the daughter of Princess Anne, will marry her rugby player July 30 in Edinburgh, Scotland. If the event is televised the women will surely be on hand to mark the festivities -- no matter the hour.

Today, landscaping is more than just cutting a lawn or rounding up stray leaves. Lawn upkeep is only one facet of a landscapers work, and they stay busy designing aesthetically pleasing landscape plans, planting trees and flowers, monitoring plant health and installing sprinkler systems and walkways. Landscapers’ backgrounds must go beyond equipment operation to include horticulture, landscape design, soil analysis and botany.
Today, landscaping is more than just cutting a lawn or rounding up stray leaves. Lawn upkeep is only one facet of a landscapers work, and they stay busy designing aesthetically pleasing landscape plans, planting trees and flowers, monitoring plant health and installing sprinkler systems and walkways. Landscapers’ backgrounds must go beyond equipment operation to include horticulture, landscape design, soil analysis and botany.
Many landscapers are also employed as garden center and nursery consultants, and groundskeepers often work for businesses and athletic facilities. Experienced landscape professionals can also advance to work as contractors, who supervise landscaping companies and handle the business side of things by scheduling work crews and ensuring quality of service. Experience aside however, education is crucial for advancing in the industry. With the Bureau of Labor Statistics projecting that more than 250,000 landscaping jobs will be added within the decade, the demand for educated and skilled workers is increasing.
Education for the industry is available locally, as Cuyahoga Community College (Tri-C®) graduate Jessica Burr discovered. When Burr joined the Tri-C Plant Science and Landscape Technology program, she was working as a groundskeeper and wanted to advance.
“I decided to go to school to further my career,” said Burr. “You can learn on the job, but it’s difficult. With training and education you have more knowledge, so you’re not just coming in to mow the lawn.””

In a spirit of solidarity, the women put their creative talents to work. The bras were so very clever that they earned equally creative titles such as Red Hat Society, Beaded Boobs, Belly Dancer, and Here's Looking at You. Over 50 bras adorn the walls of the Euclid Curves. More funds were raised as the members paid $1.00 per vote to vote for their favorites. Bras will be on display until the first of the year.
