Jason P. Scribben was a senior at Grand Valley High School and died in a boating accident on Lake Roaming Rock on July 4^th, 1998. We moved here when he was 2 years old. (At age 12 he met Shawn and Jeff Morris, they taught him how to play volleyball. He spent most of his summer days on the court.) The volleyball court at beach #1 was dedicated to him, and the community started a fund in honor of him. Jason’s family took the community fund and started the Jason P. Scribben Memorial Scholarship fund, awarded yearly to a Grand Valley graduate. It has been 17 years now, we can no longer support a scholarship. We willcontinue with the tournament in Jason’s honor, and the community really enjoys this event.

This year the annual Jason P. Scribben Memorial 3 on 3 Volleyball Tournament will be on July 4^th 2015 at the Roaming Shores Beach #1 Volleyball Court. The tournament will start at 1pm and registration will begin at 12:00pm. If you would like to register early or you have any questions, please call (440) 812-5554. Trophies will be awarded to the 1^st, 2^nd, and 3^rd place teams and there will be no registration fee, but donations are accepted. So please come and join us as we celebrate Jason P. Scribben’s memories and support safe boating on our Lake.

Sincerely, Rosemary Scribben, Amy Scribben-Snyder and Josh Scribben

WILLOUGHBY — Memorial Services for Jacque McCoy Haines, age 82, of Willoughby, Ohio, will be 2 p.m., Sunday, May 3rd, at Mentor United Methodist Church, 8600 Mentor Ave., Mentor. The Rev. Kurt E. Landerholm will officiate at the Service.

The family will receive friends following the Service, at the Church, on Sunday until 4:30 p.m.

Jacque passed away on Monday, April 27, 2015, at his home, surrounded by his family.

Born Nov. 7, 1932, in Jefferson, Ohio, he moved to Lyndhurst in 1959 and raised his family there, before moving to Willoughby Hills in 1998 and Willoughby in 2007.

Jacque was a graduate of Jefferson High School, Class of 1950, and of Western Reserve University (now Case Western Reserve University, much to his dismay) where he earned both his Bachelor’s Degree in Economics and his law degree from the Franklin Thomas Backus School of Law.

He was a member of Mentor United Methodist Church and a former member of both the United Methodist Church of South Euclid and the Jefferson United Methodist Church, all of where he has served on numerous committees. He was a former member and past president of the Kiwanis Club of South Euclid-Lyndhurst and a volunteer for Meals on Wheels for several years. He previously served as trustee and past president of the Cinnamon Lake Association and as Director and Secretary of the Cinnamon Lake Utility Company, both in Ashland County.

Jacque was also a member of the former Tuscan Lodge 342 F.& A.M. in Jefferson, Scottish Rite, Valley of Cleveland, Al Koran Shrine and served on the advisory board of South Euclid Assembly 42 of the Order of Rainbow Girls; the American Bar Association, Ohio Bar Association, Greater Cleveland Bar Association, Estate Planning Council of Cleveland and the Lake County Bar Association. He was honored as Man of the Year in 1975 at the Hillcrest Branch of the YMCA for his volunteer work.

In his free time, he enjoyed traveling, having a round of golf play him, playing tennis, singing in the church choirs and spending time with his family, especially his grandchildren, attending their many activities.

Mr. Haines was an attorney in the Trust Department of the former Central National Bank in Cleveland, Ohio, then opened a private practice which he continued until last year. Jacque was proud to have practiced law for more than 55 years. He also served as a city councilman and then as Law Director for The City of Lyndhurst for several years.

He is survived by his high school sweetheart, Carol Jean (Anderson) Haines, whom he married on July 10, 1955, in Jefferson; son, Jeffrey (Stephanie) Haines of Bainbridge Township; daughter, Laurel (Mitchell) Babcock of Mentor; grandchildren, Shannon (Haines) (Lt. J.G. William) McCrone, USN, of Norfolk, Va., Lt. J.G. Andrew Haines, USN of Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, and Theodore Babcock and Corinne Babcock, both of Mentor; and brother, James (Mary Lou) Haines of Mentor and their families.

He was preceded in death by his father, Sheriff Daniel W. Haines in 1953; and mother, Elaine McCoy Haines in 1982.

Final resting place will be in Oakdale Cemetery in Jefferson in a private family ceremony.

In lieu of flowers, the family encourages contributions to Hospice of the Western Reserve, Inc., 17876 St. Clair Ave., Cleveland, Ohio 44110-2602, or Mentor United Methodist Church Music Fund, 8600 Mentor Ave., Mentor, Ohio 44060.

Lake Safety Committee
By: Bruce C. Bower

Hello, and remember, we will all be boating soon! I want to remind you that we are ALL supposed to have our addresses, in reflective numbers, on our docks. The placement is up to you but, make it as visible as you can from a vessel’s viewpoint. It is a Village ordinance that this address be posted on ALL waterfront properties. The reason I am reminding you about this issue is that it is solely germane as a safety issue. If ever, you need assistance you can refer to the nearest address for reference. If an incident is viewed by someone passing by, they can pinpoint the location for aid and assistance. This is the only way in which to describe a certain location on the water. Please consider the importance of this simple task and minimum expenditure in order to possibly, in a worst case scenario, save a life.

There were 14 people at the Safe Boating Class held in March, 18 signed up, 14 showed. Several thanks are in order for this to have happened. The RRA pays for everything above the nominal $10.00 fee, so lunch refreshments and the free use of the clubhouse is on the Association. This shows their interest and dedication to water safety. A huge thanks goes to Dave and Marie Arnold, owners of Chicago Style Subs in Orwell. Dave gives us a great deal on a fabulous assortment of subs and deli trays for the great lunch we are able to give the students and teachers of the class. Go to Orwell, try the food, you won’t be disappointed. Another thanks goes to Joe and Gloria Palombi. Joe volunteers for any and all help needed; Gloria made brownies for snacks and as usual with Gloria, she never needs to be asked. The ever-reliable Ed Baitt helped us with our set up and was able to stay for a couple hours. Without the Coast Guard Auxiliary and Maggie Brown from the ODNR there wouldn’t be a class. By the way, two Shores residents are in the CGA: Steve Raughley and Brad Turner. Steve stated that he can and will perform boat inspections on our lake. When passing the inspection, you will get you a sticker for the 2015 season showing the ODNR that they DO NOT have to inspect your boat. Call me for further details.

Remember to check your fire extinguishers and lights!

As always, call me with comments, concerns or questions at 563.4108. Bower out.

Have a safe boating season!
