"Quintessential" Lake Erie charter captain Bill Goble dies

Long-time area Lake Erie charter captain Bill Goble died Monday after a lingering illness.

Goble, 74, had skippered his charter fishing vessel “No Woes,” for more than 40 years on Lake Erie.

He operated out of the Chagrin River, specializing in sport fishing for walleye, yellow perch and steelhead.

Goble also ran a number of fishing- and fish-related businesses from his Eastlake base, including a commercial fish-cooking business.

Current and former area anglers of all stripes praised Goble, largely for his philanthropic approach to providing how-to and where-to angling information.

Norm Schultz, the retired head of the Cleveland-based Lake Erie Marine Trades Association and former Mentor resident, said Goble was “always generous” with fishing tips.

“I always thought of Bill as being the quintessential angler and even more importantly, he was always willing to share his favorite spot or what he was using to catch fish,” said Schultz, now of Tampa, Fla. “That’s not true for every charter captain.”

Mentor charter captain Jim Schonauer said Goble was “just one of the guys.”

“The charter captains in this part of the lake always have worked well together, and sometimes the guys from the Chagrin would come our way and sometimes we would go their way so we would exchange information,” Schonauer said. “Bill was one of us.”

Something of a dust-up occurred earlier this year related to Goble when the city of Eastlake decided not to press charges against him for allegedly “...catching fish recreationally but selling them in his restaurant,” said the city of Eastlake’s prosecutor, Judd Hawkins, in late September.

Hawkins decision came following an investigation by the Ohio Division of Wildlife which turned its evidence over to the prosecutor.

“The investigation got the point where there might have been charges brought, but I decided to seek a resolution without the need of any criminal charges,” Hawkins said.

Goble had already determined not to renew his charter captain’s license when the matter was resolved.

Goble’s obituary appears in today’s (Dec. 5) News-Herald and can be accessed directly from: http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/news-herald/obituary.aspx?n=william-m-goble-captain-bill&pid=161489351&fhid=5770.

2016 Quilter of the Year – Diane Schonauer

The Upstate Heritage Quilt Trail in Upstate SC is pleased to announce the selection of Diane Schonauer from Anderson, SC, as the 2016 Quilter of the Year. This award recognizes a local quilter who provides leadership and community service through their quilting.

Schonauer will be recognized at the Fall Upstate Heritage Quilt Trail Meeting on Oct. 7, 2016. in the first floor conference room at the Anderson County Public Library located at 300 N. McDuffie Street. The public is invited to attend the reception from 3-5:30pm. Quilts made by Schonauer will be displayed in the lobby windows for the month of October.

Schonauer has made many contributions to Anderson County and the State of South Carolina through her leadership and volunteer efforts with Quilters of South Carolina; Anderson Quilters Guilds in leadership positions and making charity quilts for donation through the Guilds many programs. In addition she is the Anderson production team leader for the Upstate Heritage Quilt Trail. Schonauer is always willing to help area school students learn about quilting and painting a block for their school or helping the students make the fabric quilt. Schonauer promotes quilting through demonstrations, educational programs and enthusiastic leadership.

“I started this quilt in a class in Illinois in 1998 at a shop called Pieceful Hearts. Sara Nephew’s construction method eliminates the challenging ‘Y seam’. Each block contains two 60 degree diamonds and four 60 degree triangles, the two triangles in the ‘medium position’ are matching fabric,” say Schonauer.

“My mother had started a few quilts, among them Cathedral Window and Log Cabin, before 3 daughters and full time employment stopped her from completing them. I loved seeing these pieces as a young child and consequently have always liked quilts.”

“My sister, Linda Lilly, actually taught me how to sew. She made all of our clothes from the time I was 10 through my high school years. She is a very accomplished seamstress and has a degree in clothing and textiles. In the 1980’s Linda and I took a quilting class at Katie’s Calico Corners. I was hooked; Linda has not ever quilted again! In the early 1990’s, quilting classes were offered as an adult continuing education program and I signed up for the very first one. I have been quilting ever since,” say Schonauer.
