The previous owner had suffered a lot of business setbacks due to the harsh winter of 1960 and found it difficult to be able to make the mortgage payments on the business. After a year of not making any pay- ments, the business was “up for grabs”. On March 18,1961 precisely at 11 a.m. the sale of the busi- ness was being offered to cover the mortgage. No one else showed up or participated in the sale, because it was tough times. At 11:18 a.m. the deal was made. That’s when Lyman and Jean Jones became the new owners. The couple never looked back. They worked long hours and still do. A half a cen- tury later Lyman still works 12 hour days. His wife of 55 years, Jean, has worked side by side with him and is still involved with the business. They have two children, Rick and Ann, four grandchildren and one great-grandchild. His son Rick was raised in the family business, located in the ally, 107 W. Arey St., behind Shelby Cafe. He still works there with his parents. This is quite a success story of a farm boy who lost his father when he was just 9 months old. He was raised with his sister and two brothers by his grandfather. Although the business doesn’t open until 7 a.m., Lyman is still there every morning at 5:30 a.m. He said: “I like to do what I do and always try hard to take care of my customers.” He obvi- ously does that very well because he has customers that have been with him almost as long as he’s owned the cleaners. He knew when they bought the business, it was “sort of out of the way in the ally” and they would have to make “the extra effort”. As a result, they has many loyal customers. At 76 years of age, Lyman Winslow Jones is still going strong and is quite an inspiration to anyone who wants to stay focused and work hard to achieve, a formula that cannot be denied. –M. A.

In celebration and support of the World Series, American Legion tickets will be given away in a drawing at each performance of Rounding Third. Directed by Linda Pangburn Bogan, this laugh-out-loud play is the journey of two Little League coaches through an entire season. Don (Jonathan Foust) is the tough, blue collar, win-at-all-cost coach whose son is the star pitcher. Michael (Joseph Hurdt), a newcomer to baseball, agrees to be the assistant coach so that he can spend time with his son—who has never played baseball before. As the two men battle over how to lead the team, these two seemingly different men negotiate an unlikely friendship. Although the play revolves around baseball, it will also connect with anyone who struggles to raise a well-rounded child. “You know,” says veteran director Linda Bogan, “this play is about two different styles of coaching, but it’s really more than that. It’s about parenting, and friendship, and handling loss. And, on another level, it’s about how we teach our children about competition.” But, she goes on, this touching play doesn’t slap you in the face with these topics and questions; rather, it gently invites you to take a look in the mirror. Both of the actors, Jonathan Foust and Joseph Hurdt, have extensive stage experience. Jonathan graduated from Wabash College with a Pictured above (left) Joseph Hurdt plays the role of Michael, and Jonathan Foust plays the role of Don. degree in Theatre. He has appeared in more than 35 productions, including Glengarry Glenn Ross and Lysistrata. Jonathan, former drama teacher at Burns High, has recently accepted the position of drama teacher at Crest High. Joseph has been active in theatre since his high school days. On the GSCT stage, he has been seen most recently in Complete Works of Shakespeare, abridged, Twelve Angry Men, and Miss Nelson is Missing. Joseph is a partner in Millenium Technology & Marketing and is also the upcoming President for GSCT. Rounding Third will be presented again on July 22, 23, and 24 at Keeter Auditorium, Cleveland Community College. Friday and Saturday performances begin at 7:30pm. Sunday performance begins at 2:30pm.
