Chester Township residentSkip Claypool questionedtrustees at their last meetingabout the township’s 10-yearrelationship with Chagrin RiverWatershed Partners.

Earlier in the Feb. 21 meet-ing, the board had decided totable a resolution to pay$4,370.53 in annual dues toCRWP at the request of TrusteeJudy Caputo, who asked theissue be brought up again at theMarch 21 meeting.

They also tabled an accom-panying resolution to approveand sign a conflict of interestand financial disclosure formrequested by the organization.

Trustees said they wanted todiscuss both issues at a laterdate.

According to the CRWPwebsite, the Willoughby-based,nonprofit group, formed in 1996,

provides technical assistance tomembers and develops costeffective solutions to waterquality and quantity problems.

The group lists 37 membersin the four counties within theChagrin River Watershed,including all townships andother communities in the west-ern half of Geauga County.

Member communities repre-sent 99 percent of the water-shed land. Former RussellTownship Trustee Greg Studenserves as the CRWP president.

The organization dependson member dues and grants forits funding, according to its web-site.

“Why the Chagrin RiverWatershed Partners?” Claypoolasked trustees Thursday night.“What does that do for us?”

Trustee Mike Joyce said the

It’s rare when a dog fromGeauga County advances to thesemifinals at the prestigious annu-al Westminster Kennel Club DogShow in New York City, but thisyear there were two.

Tucker, a cocker spanielfrom Chester Township, andDUI (pronounced Dewey), anotter hound from RussellTownship, both took “Best ofBreed” honors at the two-dayshow — which draws the topdogs and breeders from aroundthe world.

The Westminster show isconsidered by many to be the“Superbowl” of the Americandog world.

“Best of Breed” winners goon to compete in separategroups and those winners go onto compete for the grand prize,“Best in Show.”

DUI took fourth place in thehound group.

“We’re just now coming

back to this planet,” DUI’sowner, Andrea “Andy” McIlwaine,said this week.

DUI would probably preferwalking along a muddy river-bank, following his instincts andsniffing for critters, but he isequally used to the show ringand took all the competitionhoopla in his stride, she said.

In the ring, he is ChampionAberdeen’s Under the Influ-ence, but at home he is DUI.

“It’s completely different inNew York from our beautifulbucolic town, but DUI’s a prowho loves crowds,” McIlwainesaid. “Of course, keeping himclean is always a challenge, butthe hotel was wonderful; theyset up a separate exercise areaso the dogs didn’t have to goout.”

Otter hounds are very rareamong breeds registered thro-ugh the American Kennel Club,McIlwaine said.

The breed is unique because

the dogs can scent over water,making them excellent searchand rescue dogs, she said.

“But they’re also great pets

because they love everybodyand have a tremendous sense ofhumor,” Mcllwaine said.

The McIlwaine family has

raised otter hounds for about 30years and currently has eight,

A stack of 13 thick envelopesgreeted Munson Township Trus-tees at their regular meetingTuesday, each containing applica-tions for the job of constructionmanager at risk for the town hallrenovation and addition.

Before the 6:45 p.m. opening

of the documents, project archi-tect Hank Penttila provided eachtrustee with a form to fill out foreach of the applicants to helptrustees decide which three wouldgo on the short list.

“It ends up being a score cardfor each person who submittedtheir qualifications,” he said.

Several months ago Penttilarecommended the trustees use a

CMAR to organize and overseethe work. The township issued arequest for qualifications andreceived 13 by the deadline.

Each trustee will review allthe qualifications and score them,he said. Trustees set a specialmeeting on March 4 to comparelists, select their top three anddecide on what details they needfrom those on the short list. Thosethree will receive the request forproposals on the project, Penttilasaid. Trustees will then chooseone CMAR for the interior reno-vation of the current town hall,the addition and the replacementof the fire station roof.

Penttila said the form is a ver-sion of the State of Ohio websitewhich he condensed to fit thesmaller and less expensive townhall project. Categories thatPenttila included were location,credentials of project manage-ment lead, construction adminis-trative staff qualifications, pastperformance of the project team,experience with similar projects,and budget and schedule manage-ment.

Applicants were, in order ofthe envelope opening: R.L. HillConstruction Management ofBedford; Enzoco Homes LLC ofMunson; J&F Building ofChester; Hummel Construction ofRavenna; PCS of Cleveland; ErieAffiliates Inc. of Willoughby;

which they show around thecountry.

DUI has been ranked thetop otter hound in the countryfor two years.

“It’s because of his personali-ty, the quality of his bone struc-ture and his beautiful head,” sheexplained.

While DUI, representing thebest of the otter hounds, came infourth in the hound group atWestminster, a foxhound tookfirst place.

It then went on to compete inthe final “Best in Show,” whichwas won by an affenpinschernamed Banana Joe.

Being judged “Best in Breed”and coming in fourth in thehound group at Westminster wasa great honor, she said.

“It was really exciting for us,especially since our son wasshowing him,” McIlwaine said.

Dog show competition is verycostly, with expenses that includetravel, accommodations, meals,professional handlers andgroomers.

McIlwaine and her husbandstarted a catering business,Caveman’s Kitchen, that sellsfood at dog shows.

“We figured the dog showswere so expensive, we might aswell make some money if wecould,” she explained.

That was how Susan Gray, ofChester Township, met theMcIlwaines at a dog show.

Gray’s dog, Tucker, is a cham-pion ASCOB cocker spaniel.

The term “ASCOB” refers to“any solid color other thanblack.”

Cockers compete with dogs ofthe same color distinction.

Tucker, a.k.a. ChampionSilver Grand Champion Trinity’sTucked Under His Wing,received “Best in Breed” at

Westminster, but did not placein the Sporting Group semifinals.

“It was such a thrill to repre-sent his breed,” Gray said.

She has been breeding andshowing cocker spaniels for 10years and currently has 20 cock-ers, including puppies.

“They’re just a nice all arounddog with a good personality,”Gray said.

Tucker has won 51 champi-onship ribbons so far in his younglife.

“He loves competition,” shesaid.

Gray said that being part ofWestminster was exciting, butchaotic.

“Our handler warned us thatit would be crowded, with noroom for a chair,” she said.“There were people and cam-eras everywhere, and lots ofbeautiful dogs in one place.”

She said transporting Tucker

in a crate on a wheeled dollywas a challenge, especially whenshe couldn’t find a place to parkand was running late.

“It was one experience afteranother,” she said.

Handler Stacy Dobmeiertold Gray that she was “a littlenervous” when it was time forTucker to enter the ring.

“But he loved the crowd andwas very composed,” Gray said.“It was the biggest thrill to seehim in the ring. It was like justanother show for him.”

She added, “He’s a happy-go-lucky little guy who loveskids and loves all the attention.”

Both owners said their dogswill not rest on their laurelsafter Westminster, but will con-tinue their careers in the showring.

“He’ll be in Michigan thisweek,” Gray said. “He’s just ayoung boy. We’ll continue toshow him for awhile.”

Mcllwaine added, “It’s just alabor of love.”

All townships go throughthe Geauga County HealthDepartment to comply with

Ohio EPA regulations forwastewater and the CRWPassists the county in its efforts,Joyce said.

“And it allows our residentsto have access to experts if theyhave water problems,” he said.

“I suggest that we reviewthat and consider not joining,”Claypool told trustees. “I don’tsee a value in membership.”

He added, in his opinion, theCRWP “led the townshipastray” during the town hallparking lot project.

Trustees said they wouldtake Claypool’s commentsunder advisement.

Dear Chesterland Lion’sClub Friends,

I want to thank each one ofyou for all you did to support meand make the recent Eye CareInternational mission trip toPerquín, El Salvador a tremen-dous success.

We accomplished a greatdeal with relatively little stress orfrustration and were able to seemore patients than anticipatedand still get to dinner on time.Our surgical team performed 92operations and finished beforedark every day except the first.In total, 4,942 patients from theregion were seen in nine days.

But the real measure of successis the fact that our friends inMorazán can now see better tocare for their families and toenjoy the lovely landscapes andbeautiful people they encounterevery day.

There are a lot of people Ineed to thank, specificallyWayne Zahler and Kim Srsenfor endorsing me on behalf ofthe Chesterland Lion’s Club. Iappreciate the opportunity toprovide my nursing talents out-side of University Hospitals toso many underprivileged peopleof El Salvador. Thank you for

making the difference in thelives of so many people. I ameternally grateful for your sup-port and generosity.

Chester Wants PositivityChester is an incredibly

inclusive community. People from all walks of life

make their homes here.Although there are some

concerns over the future inthese uncertain times, the com-munity is defined by a strongsense of collaboration and aphilosophy of “giving beforeyou get” and of family pride. Ifyou contribute, you are reward-ed, often in unexpected ways.

At the same time, especiallysince it’s a small community, it’sparticularly intolerant of badactors. If you aren’t sincere, con-structive and collaborative, thecommunity behaves accordingly.

There is a small group ofpeople who continually act toexpand negativity and to usetheir God given resources to

sow doubt by continually tryingto stop progress, to keepChester in gridlock by disrupt-ing the continuity of townshipgovernment.

However, I believe Chesterwants positive movement ... areason to be proud of thehomes we love.

The roads are beingimproved; the cemetery is beingexpanded; the parks are beingimproved and expanded; newbusinesses are locating here; ourproperty values are remainingmore stable than the average;our schools continue to be ratedas some of the best in the coun-try; new ways are beingexplored; the county is rated asone of the best places to raise afamily in the entire country.

There will always be thosewho complain only to hearthemselves talk. They never

have a viable plan to move for-ward; they only have plans todisrupt, to look to what theywant.

They show their “communi-ty spirit” by looking for reasonsto enrich their property at theexpense of others; to violaterather than to support the com-munity; or to fail to support thecommunity by failing to paytheir fair share.

However, Chester is greaterthan that. Our people seethrough that and support hon-est efforts to rise above thosewho try to disrupt.

That is why Chester is anincredibly inclusive community.

People from all walks of lifemake their homes here.

Staff Report

There is a cliche that says,“Reach for the moon and youwill land among the stars.”

Thirty Geauga County fami-lies with autistic children havemade this wish and found it tobe true when their kids landedamong the S.T.A.R.S: Special-ized Teaching for Children withAutism and Resource Services.

A program of the Chardon-based Geauga County Educ-ational Service Center (GCESC),the S.T.A.R.S. program is indeeda dream come true for parentswho often have few other optionsfor their children with autism.

The S.T.A.R.S. program isavailable to any child in gradesK-12 with a medical diagnosisof Autism who resides inGeauga County, although stu-dents from other counties arealso eligible if there are open-ings available.

The program is available atno charge to families and isfunded through the special edu-cation program of each stu-dent’s public school district ofresidence.

Each April, the group holdsa fundraiser luncheon andChinese auction. This year’sevent is April 20 at the St. DenisParty Center in Chardon.

In addition, the S.T.A.R.S.program receives in-kind dona-tions, such as the iPads recentlydonated from the PrestonSuperstore car dealership in

Burton. The iPads will helpstudents communicate andpractice academic and socialskills.

Pat Preston, owner of theSuperstore, regularly donates toeducational programs in addi-tion to the S.T.A.R.S. programincluding Geauga ACHIEVE,which helps children with multi-ple disabilities and is also a pro-gram of the GCESC.

Preston’s donations havealso helped St. Helen’s Churchcreate a multi-use center for thearts and spiritual enrichmentand helped DDC Clinic forSpecial Needs Children inMiddlefield expand the capacityof their research lab, and he hasdonated many thousands of dol-lars to Geauga County publicschools, youth sports programsand more.

Holy KnightIt was all in good fun when

Father Sweany lost his knight toa group of Saint Anselm ChessClub students.

“I allowed myself to get dis-tracted for a second and thenext thing I knew, my knightwas captured,” said Sweany witha big laugh.

Concentration is only one ofthe skills the students learnwhen playing chess.

“It’s much more than learn-ing in which direction the piecesmove,” said Penny Thomas.“The students learn about con-sequences, thinking throughtheir moves, strategy, sports-manship and how to block outdistractions.”

Thomas helps teach the clubalong with Deacon BobKovach.

Last year, the team had 19players. Now, it’s up to 52 stu-dents.

“I am thrilled that my son,Pierce, also enjoys chess,”Thomas said. “It’s a game thathe can play without batteriesand a computer screen. It’s afun way to spend time with hisgrandfather too.”

Chess is a multi-generationalgame. It has passed the test oftime and deserves a place inevery home.

“I always enjoyed playing

chess,” Sweany said. “I wish Ihad more opportunity toimprove my skills. I think I’llstop by Chess Club moreoften.”
