The tweet went out:#WestG is welcoming any

school to join Student Sectiontonight... we need all the sup-port we can get. #BeatKenston.

The Wolverines andBombers boys basketball gamewould be played, despite a snowday for Kenston.

And the call was heard — orseen.

Through Twitter and Insta-gram, and Facebook and formsof social media that an oldergeneration of West Geauga fanshad no idea existed, studentsorganized their Wild West fansection for the season’s biggestgame.

By game time, the sectiontook up almost half of the homebleachers, with face-painted stu-dents waving signs, many ofthem in costumes. There wasWinnie the Pooh, and Ketchupand Mustard, four referees, ared M&M, two bananas andthree tubas.

“It’s unreal,” said WestGeauga senior guard GinoIacampo. “It’s like you’re play-ing in the big leagues. Even on

the bench my ears were ringing.”But with a share of the lead

in the Chagrin Valley Confer-ence Chagrin Division on theline, the students had little tocheer about in the first half.

Kenston controlled the paceof the game with its ball-controloffense and stifling man-to-mandefense.

And it helped the Bombersthat the Wolverines seemedintimidated by their own crowd.

There were 10 West Geaugaturnovers; the defense allowed10 offensive rebounds.

And with just 14 points toKenston’s 25 at half, it lookedlike West Geauga’s best crowdof the season would not inspire

the varsity basketball players onthe floor.

But then Noah Bidar andAaron Rabe started hittingshots. Nick Rakich and DevonZurcher turned up their defen-sive intensity. Mario Formichelliplayed big in the post.

Early last year, previousChesterland News owner PamelaGable-Takesh decided to sell thenewspaper.

Pam moved to Texas to bewith her husband and family, andfelt the task was too difficult to dofrom so far away.

She sought out John Karlovec,owner of the Geauga CountyMaple Leaf.

The Chesterland News wassomething very close to Pam’sheart (founded by her parents in1967), so her choosing Karlovecwas a decision she took very seri-ously with many standards.

Her desires and hopes for thenewspaper were to keep the smalltown foundation with similarphilosophies, but improve manyaspects.

The staff of the newspaperwas introduced to John and newoperations began immediately.

A key person added to theteam was Cassandra Shofar, con-tent editor of the Geauga CountyMaple Leaf. Cassandra currentlyassists with editing of both news-papers and works diligently toensure the processes are completeand accurate.

John was able to offer manynew features to the newspaper inaddition to the current services.

The graphic designers workedtogether to form a new logo, moredetailed and “Chesterland” ori-ented with the Chester gazebo asits main focus. The logo can beseen at the top of the front pageof every publication.

Because deadlines had to berevised due to print schedules, theoffice is now open 9 a.m. to 4:30p.m. Wednesdays.

As well as the newspaperitself, the home office, located inthe Maywood Plaza, needed to beupdated.

In doing so, the decision wasmade to move the entire officeone door down to a slightly largersuite.

The staff worked to create afloor plan, pick out a colorscheme and finishes for the space.One requirement by the entirestaff was to get rid of the cubicles.

They made it difficult to com-municate from person to personand made the small space feel toocompact.

Another addition is a confer-ence table, making it easter formeetings to be held with clientsand advertisers. Now, the officehas an open floor plan, with a fewsmiling, friendly faces ready to

Many changes have beenmade to Bertha’s Gallery overthe past ten years.

What started out as a retailstore, has now expanded into anauction gallery, hobby shop andwomen’s clothing and accessoryboutique.

Located at 10609 ChillicotheRoad, Kirtland, the gallery wasopened in February 2004.

“I built a house and whiledecorating it, I realized I loveddecorating, which then led tome opening my retail store,”said owner MaryAnn “Bertha”Crozier.

To further her expertise,Crozier graduated from WaltonSchool of Auctioneering inMedina.

In the midst of the economicfall, Crozier realized she neededto find a way to make the retailstore work.

“The economy went sourand people still wanted me tobuy their things,” Crozier said.

She expanded the retail storeinto an auction gallery, seeingthe need for estate liquidationsin the area.

Currently, the auction galleryaccepts whole estates as well as

A jury willnot decide acc-used ChardonHigh Schoolgunman T.J.Lane’s punish-ment if he isconvicted onthe most seri-

ous of his charges in connectionwith the deadly Feb. 27 shooting.

Geauga County CommonPleas Judge David Fuhry ruledthat the court would conductLane’s sentencing hearing, ratherthan a jury, if he is convicted onone or more aggravated murdercharges with death specific-ations.

In Ohio, a defendant convict-ed of aggravated murder withdeath specification faces thedeath penalty if the person was 18at the time the crime was commit-ted; or up to life in prison withoutparole or life with the potential ofparole after 20, 25 or 30 years, ifthe person was under 18 when thecrime was committed.

In Lane’s case, although he

People from all over Ohioattend the auctions because ofthe wide variety of items. Fromyoung to elderly, the mixedfashions are sure to please, shesaid.

A current decorating trendtoday is repurposing or paintingitems that were purchased at areasonable price — Bertha’sGallery is the place to findthese many items, Crozier said.

Online auctions are nowavailable, which is needed intoday’s world and provides awider base than just NortheastOhio, she explained.

Another service offered isverbal appraisals. Customerscan bring an item in or email a

photo of the item and an esti-mate on what the market valueis will be given promptly.

Monday Madness is heldany given Monday of the monthwith box lots and householditems available for auction.

has been charged with a capitaloffense, because he was 17 whenhe fatally shot Daniel Parmertor,16, Demetrius Hewlin, 16, andRussell King Jr., 17, the deathpenalty is not an option.

“Submitting the question ofpunishment to the jury wheredeath is not an option simplydoes not conform to the (OhioRevised Code Section2929.03(D)) sentencing phase,which controls only when deathmay be imposed,” Fuhry wrote.

Instead, the court would con-sider any aggravating circum-stances or mitigating factorssuch as the history, character andbackground of Lane — including

any mental illness or defect andprior criminal record — whenhanding down his sentence, thejudge said.

In addition, Fuhry said thecourt will not discuss Lane’spotential punishment withprospective jurors.

“By stipulation of the parties,the only advisory which prospec-tive jurors will receive withrespect to the punishment is thefact that the case does notinvolve the death penalty,” hewrote.

The jury will also be sequest-ered during deliberation, Fuhrysaid.

Lane has been charged withthree counts of aggravated mur-der, two counts of attemptedaggravated murder and onecount of felonious assault.

Those injured in the shootingwere Nick Walczak, 18 — who isparalyzed from the chest down— Joy Rickers, 18, and NathanMueller, 17, who’s ear was grazedby one of the bullets.

Lane’s murder trial has beenpushed back three times, mostrecently on Jan. 14.

Last Wednesday, an attor-ney's conference in GeaugaCounty Court of Common PleasJudge David Fuhry's chambersfailed to produce a new trialdate.

Sources told the ChesterlandNews additional evidence needsto be produced before any trialdate can be set.

Another conference has beenscheduled for 9:30 a.m. Feb. 26.To read related stories, visit

West Geauga outscoredKenston 21-8 in the fourth quar-ter to win the game 49-42. TheWolverines now sit in a three-way tie with the Bombers andChagrin Falls at 7-2 in the CVCChagrin.

“I’m still in shock rightnow,” Formichelli said, sur-rounded by classmates. “I’m try-ing to get my voice back. Youknow, I just think that so muchof it wasn’t even the basketballteam. It was the supporters outthere.”

Bidar finished with a game-high 22 points, despite not hav-ing a field goal in the first half.His 10 points in the fourth quar-ter sealed the win.

“First time ever to beatKenston in high school,” Bidarsaid. “It’s just a great feeling …I feel like I just won the NBAchampionship.”

All nine of Rabe’s pointscame in the fourth quarter,including two key 3-pointersdown the stretch.

“I hadn’t really shot most ofthe game,” Rabe said. “I fig-ured if it’s an open shot, hey, I

may as well take it.”Rabe said the team needed

more intensity in the secondhalf, and the crowd helped WestGeauga climb back into thegame.

“It’s crazy,” the senior said,smiling. “They help so much,especially when they’re on yourside. There was one point in thegame where we had just takenthe lead and the next thing youknow everybody was freaking

out. I could barely hear what(coach) Cardiero was saying. Itwas crazy.”

Coach John Cardiero nowhas his team at 11-6 and in aposition to make a strong run inthe tournament with so manycontributing seniors.

“I told them this was just aregular game, just go play,”Cardiero told two local collegecoaches he was talking withafter the game. “And they’re

looking at me like, yeah, yeah. Iknow how these guys get —they get all pumped up andready to go and then the air justgets deflated out of them.

“But once we got back intoit and the crowd got into it …”Cardiero trailed off, shaking hishead.

The Particular ProblemWith Piers

I’ve been watching PiersMorgan recently pontificate pas-sionately about the need for guncontrol in the wake of theNewtown, Conn. tragedy.

He's had on his show theusual personae for and against,usually charm and contemplativepathos oozing through his suitwhen in the company of his com-padres; self-righteousness, conde-scension, name-calling and dis-missiveness when presented withan opposing view.

In truth, it’s been entertainingand, of course, self-serving.

His ratings are higher, so Idoubt he'll be deported any timesoon.

However, methinks with him,it’s not all about ratings. He mayvery well believe that he's crusad-ing to save America from “gunviolence.”

I suppose he’s entitled to hisopinion, but the problem is, heain't from around here.

Piers is a British subject, notan American citizen — big differ-ence in upbringing and perspec-tives, especially when it comes togovernment.

At most (and I’m likely beinggenerous), he's demonstrated cul-tural sensitivity to the gun controlissue, i.e. he’s aware that differ-ences exist between his belovedBritain and our United States.

However, when it comes tocultural competence, knowledgeand understanding of the actualdifferences between each nationwithin their historical contexts, hecomes up short.

So, I really don’t care whatPiers has to say about gun controlin this country or, for that matter,what any of the leftist despoticworld leaders out there have toopine.

This is our problem for us tohandle our way. Meanwhile, at theend of a long day, I’ll sit back andwatch Ben Shapiro surgically dis-sect Piers’s arguments onYouTube, laugh a bit, and thengently fall asleep whilst readingthe Constitution.

Benito A. Alvarez, MDChester Township

Arm MeThis came from my daughter

in Madison, Wisc. and thought itwould be good to print it.

From a teacher in St. Paul,Minn.:

You want to arm me? Good.Then arm me with a school psy-chologist at my school who hastime to do more than test and sitin meetings about testing.

Arm me with enough coun-selors so we can build skills toprevent violence, have meaningfuldiscussions with students abouttheir future and not merely franti-cally adjust student schedules likea Jenga game.

Arm me with social workerswho can thoughtfully attend to astudent's and her family's needsso I. Can. Teach.

Arm me with enough schoolnurses so that they are accessibleto every child and can work as ateam with me rather than operatetheir offices as de facto urgentcare centers.

Arm me with more days onthe calendar for teaching andlearning and fewer days for stan-dardized testing.

Arm me with class sizes thatallow my colleagues and I toknow both our students and theirfamilies well.

Arm my colleagues and I withthe time it takes to improvetogether and the time it takes togive great feedback to studentsabout their work and progress.

Until you arm me to the hiltwith what it will take to meet theneeds of an increasingly vulnera-ble student population, I respect-fully request you keep your opin-ions on schools and our safety toyourself NRA. Knock it off.

-Mary Cathryn Ricker, presi-dent of the St. Paul Federation ofTeachers.
