Longtime Russell TownshipFiscal Officer Geraldine Heckwill be leaving her townshipoffice the end of the month, butshe won’t be going far.

Last Wednesday, Russelltrustees voted in favor of retain-ing her as a consultant forincoming Deputy Fiscal OfficerChuck Walder starting inFebruary.

Walder, who was appointedby trustees several months agoand will take office Feb. 1, askedtrustees to keep Heck on as aconsultant at $25 an hour up to$5,000.

“I haven’t even received theoath of office yet,” he said. “Ihave been working with Geriand Susan (Baker), but there isonly so much I can absorb at atime.”

The trio has been planningfor a smooth transition fromHeck to Walder in the fiscalofficer position, but Heck hassuch a wealth of informationregarding the township finances,it became apparent anotherstep would be needed, he said.

Heck offered to come backin February as a consultant forthe clerical rate.

“It’s a bargain for the experi-ence we’d gain,” Walder said,adding Heck would not only con-tinue orienting him in the fiscalofficer position, but she is alsowilling to help weed out town-ship records that can legally bedisposed of.

The State of Ohio has a two-inch thick records managementnotebook nicknamed “TheMonster” that prescribes whenand if documents legally may bepurged.

The process can be arduousand requires an experiencedhand.

TO HAVE AND TO HOLD... 2013 BRIDAL GUIDE

By Diane Ryder

Within seconds after theChester Township Trusteesannual organizational meetingbegan Thursday, it became clearthe division among trusteesremains strong when onetrustee nominated himself forchairman and the other two saidno.

Each township reorganizesat the beginning of the calendaryear.

Some three-person boardsrotate the chairmanship auto-matically, while others decide tokeep the same leadership orelect a new chairman.

The first order of business inan organizational meeting isusually the election of the chair-man.

Thursday, when ChesterTownship Fiscal Officer MikeStark asked for nominations forchairman, Trustee Ken Radtkesaid, “I’d be willing to serve ifthe board sees fit.”

After a brief, but seeminglyawkward silence, Trustee JudyCaputo said, “I would nominateMike Joyce.”

“At this point, we can have

discussion,” Radtke said.Radtke reminded Joyce and

Caputo he had been told lastyear, shortly after being swornin as trustee, that he would beconsidered for chairman in2013.

He said he would be the log-ical choice because the othertwo trustees face re-electionthis year.

Radtke also criticizedJoyce’s leadership as chairman.

“The chair has become thetarget of political discoursefrom the audience,” Radtke

said, possibly referring to con-stant questions and criticismsaimed at Joyce as well asCaputo from former TrusteeRon Cotman, Cotman’s wife,Cathy, and several of Cotman’ssupporters.

The interruptions hadbecome so frequent, Joyceestablished a policy of limitingpublic comments to five min-utes per person at the end ofthe meetings.

The policy has resulted in

Russell Trustees to Hire RetiringFiscal Officer as Paid Consultant

By Ann Wishart

Munson Trustees had somequestions at its Dec. 31 meetingregarding Chardon Mayor PhilKing’s request for help in fund-ing a school resource officer forChardon Schools.

King, accompanied byChardon City Manager RandySharpe, told trustees he has alsoapproached Hambden, Claridonand Chardon township trustees,asking each board to contribute$8,100 per year toward fundingan SRO.

Those townships as well asMunson have significant num-bers of students attendingChardon Schools.

The city hired police officerMike Shaw as a full-time SROat the beginning of the schoolyear when parents of studentsvoiced concerns about sendingtheir children to school follow-ing the Feb. 27 shooting atChardon High School, Kingsaid.

“The plan is to continue touse an SRO at least through theend of the (2016) school yearwhen the students who werefreshmen (in February) willgraduate,” he said.

The district expects to keep

Shaw as an SRO through theend of the 2012-2013 schoolyear, King said, adding thenthey will hopefully have Shawor another SRO for the follow-ing two years.

In three years, the need foran SRO will be re-evaluated,King said.

The cost for nine monthsemployment with benefits is$78,654.86, King said.

The Chardon Healing Fundhas agreed to provide $30,000for this year.

The remaining $48,655divided six ways — four town-ships, the district and the City ofChardon — equals just over$8,100 each, he said.

“We plan to ask for stateand federal funding,” King said,noting there are often stringsattached to such grants.

Having a trained police offi-cer in the district schools has anumber of advantages besidesproviding a safety net in case ofviolence, he said.

An SRO can train teachers,staff and administrators on howto conduct a lock down, providea positive role model for stu-dents, act as a deterrent for ille-gal or prohibited activities in

the schools and fill a safetycommunications role, King said.

But the primary purpose isto provide the security that isimportant to a safe atmospherein the schools, he said.

The Chardon Healing Fundwill probably maintain its cur-rent funding level and the city iscommitted to keeping an SROin Chardon Schools, King said.

“We will make sure the totalcost is covered,” he said, addingnone of the townships is obligedto contribute, but the collabora-tion would be empowering.

“I do believe all of us jump-ing in shows solidarity and aninterest in the schools,” he said.

The SRO position was creat-ed on the city police depart-ment and special training wasprovided, Sharpe said.

“This (training) is a littlemore specific, dealing withyouth,” he said.

The SRO also works withadministrators, teachers andparents.

King said the SRO is now apresence in all the schools fol-lowing the shooting of firstgraders at Sandy Hook Elemen-tary School in Connecticut inDecember.

“Up until a couple of weeksago, I never thought it wouldpermeate to the elementaryschools,” he said.

Claridon Township Trusteeshave already been approachedto help fund an SRO atBerkshire Schools, so Claridonwon’t be contributing one-sixthof the total to the ChardonSRO effort, King said.

“I’m sure it’s a topic of discus-sion everywhere,” Trustee IreneMcMullen said, adding WestGeauga Schools doesn’t have anSRO, to her knowledge.

A majority of Munson stu-dents attend either Chardon orWest Geauga schools, trusteessaid.

McMullen asked if it waslegal for a township to con-tribute to help pay for an SRO.King said Chardon Townshipchecked with their legal counseland was told it was.

“There are plenty of

Munson students in ChardonSchools,” said Trustee Todd Ray.

King said the SRO wouldinclude Munson ElementarySchool in his visits.

Ray asked if the cost offunding and the townships’ con-tributions might increase andSharpe said the city doesn’texpect costs to go up more thana few hundred dollars.

Trustees did not vote onKing’s request.

“We’ll use her time prettyefficiently,” Walder said.

Trustee Jim Mueller sup-ported the request, adding “a(fiscal) mistake sometimes canbe costly.”

“It’s fair to the township andfair to Geri,” said Trustee JimDickinson.

Heck likely would be willingto help Walder for a while, buthe would be hesitant to ask heradvice often if she wasn’t beingpaid for the help.

Trustees voted unanimouslyto hire Heck as a part-time,temporary consultant to assistthe deputy fiscal officer duringhis transition into office.

Walder reported the town-ship received an overwhelmingnumber of applications for thenew assistant-to-the-fiscal-offi-cer full-time position by lastFriday, adding he has a commit-tee screening the 21 candidates.

Once the herd is thinned toa handful of applicants, Walderproposed to do preliminaryinterviews and have Baker talkto them.

A final interview will deter-mine who is hired, he said,adding many of the applicantsare well qualified and the town-ship should get a good assistant.

In other business, Dickinsonagreed the upcoming discussionbetween trustees and Geauga

County Commissioners regard-ing the proposed sewage treat-ment plant should be announ-ced on the township website.

The proposed plant andinfrastructure would serve busi-nesses at and around the inter-section of state routes 87 and306.

The discussion is set for 7p.m. Jan. 31 at the townshiptown hall.

frequent murmurs of derisionfrom the audience when Joyceor Caputo speak.

At one point Thursday dur-ing the nominations for vicechairman, the audience buzzedin apparent disgust and some-one said aloud, “What a joke.”

Joyce immediately said tothe audience, “Please keep yourcomments to yourself or youwill be asked to leave the meet-ing.”

Caputo quietly added,“We’re off to a poor start.”

Radtke said he had noted,after 20 years of observingmeetings, the public frequentlycriticizes the current board.

“That’s gonna happenregardless,” Joyce told him.

Radtke reiterated he waswilling to serve as chairman.

Caputo said she has hadissues in the past with how themeetings have been conducted,but she said she was convincedthat Joyce has made progress byrestricting public input andinterruptions.

Under Ohio law, publicboards are not required to hearpublic comments, but most

allow it, sometimes with restric-tions such as setting aside spe-cific times on the agenda, limit-ing the amount of time a personcan speak or limiting commentsto agenda items.

“I’m perfectly satisfied withwhat you have been doing forthe last six or seven months,”Caputo told Joyce.

She joined Joyce in votingfor him for chairman. Radtkevoted no, but when it was notedno one had seconded Joyce’snomination, Stark suggestedvoting again.

This time, Radtke secondedJoyce’s nomination, but againvoted no.

“Make sure it is recorded asa roll call vote,” Caputo toldStark.

Radtke said he was also will-ing to serve as vice chairman.

Joyce nominated Caputo,who was elected.

Trustees then approved alengthy list of purchase ordersand blanket certificates for theupcoming year and appointedMichael Gatto to the ChesterTownship Board of ZoningAppeals.

During the public commentportion at the end of the meet-ing, resident Ven Paoletto told

trustees, “You could serve theresidents of Chester Townshipin a much nicer way if you havea rotation (of officers). A 2-1vote is always a 2-1 vote. Itdoesn’t seem fair to the resi-dents.”

There were only a few othercomments, including a questionabout the Valley EnforcementGroup, a complaint about abusiness that appeared to beoperating in a residential dis-trict, a question about blanketcertificates and a questionabout the park board.

Neither Cotman made anycomment.

In-Session Open House: 3rd Tuesdays of each Monthbeginning February • 9-10:30am

Mt. Vernon, N.Y. — TheSummer of the 1977Blackout.

I was 12 years old in myhome holding a .357 magnumwith instructions from myfather to "shoot if anyone getsby me."

He was outside, alone,Coleman lantern ablaze, shot-gun in hand, standing firm pro-tecting his mother, wife, daugh-ter and son from the gang oflooters who were systematicallyraiding the neighborhood.

I watched as the mobapproached. We were petrified.

For a moment they stoodhesitating at the sight of thearmed guardian, then movedtowards him. Raising his gun,they started running, but in theopposite direction.

Come morning, our beauti-ful city looked like a war zone.Every home around us hadbeen invaded — except ours.

My parents were Cubanrefugees.

Growing up, I learnedCastro had led the charge todepose a dictator with thepromise of instituting democra-cy.

Once in power, the policewent house-to-house politelyasking citizens to hand overtheir guns.

"Guns for what?" went theslogan, "The war is over, letthere be peace."

My father declined to giveup his — family heirlooms —but was puzzled that the officerwrote his name in a book.

Shortly thereafter, Castrowould stun everyone with his dec-laration, "I have been and alwayswill be a Marxist-Leninist."

The populace had been dis-armed. Hence began decades ofa brutal dictatorship.

One guess as to what hap-pened to my dad's guns ...

Now, I myself am a dad andhusband. I am also a physician,with an MBA and law degree.

I am a devoted student ofthe American Revolution. Ijoined the Air Force when wewere attacked on 9/11. I am alaw-abiding citizen who lovesand has sacrificed much for hiscountry.

And, I'm an NRA member.It seems to me that there are

two separate camps withregards to the gun control issue:1. Those who want others toprotect them; and 2. Those whowould rely on themselves forprotection.

Many politicians appeal tothe former for votes, just fin-ger-in-the-wind-say-anything-to-keep-my-job tactics to getre-elected.

Meanwhile, the latter — andI'm in there — is vilified andcalled crazy, lunatic, blood-stained and even murderer.

Really? Seriously? When exactly did I become

the bad guy? Or am I just theeasy target for public passion?

The "knavery of humannature" (as Alexander Hami-lton would say) has not, andnever will change.

I would caution against put-ting too much trust in govern-ment or elected officials withsimple answers which leave usweaker and dependent uponthem.

As a minority, I oftenremind my brethren that thefirst gun control laws wereenacted after the Civil Warspecifically to prevent AfricanAmericans from owning guns,thus keeping them subjugated.

I would urge all Americansto reflect rationally upon real

solutions for our present reality.There are dangerous people

out there who must be deterredfrom acting or stopped.

It's not the way I want it, butthat's the way it is.

We need to let those willingto fight do so and let the would-be crazies know it.

Benito A. Alvarez, MDChester Township

Mental Floss A little over 10 years ago,

two students in a dorm roomhad a great idea — to start amagazine, “mental_floss” —which grew into a multimilliondollar media business thatincluded a distribution centerand retail store in Chesterland.

My wife and I were angelinvestors for the students andhelped to grow the companyfrom its earliest days to its cur-rent size. The encouragementand support we received fromChesterland and NortheastOhio residents has been an inte-gral part of our success.

We recently retired, butwanted to give a big thanks toall the people who have sup-ported us and come into ourstore on Mayfield Road.

It's been a pleasure servingour loyal fans and in seeing thedelight our products have giventhem.

“Funding these programsthrough private donationsallows our schools to gain first-hand experience with new waysto improve learning, enhanceteaching efficiency, boost stu-dents who might be strugglingwith reading and other areasand more,” said currentWEDGE President JerryPignolet. “When proven, theycan be integrated into the regu-lar curriculum.”

West Geauga EducationalFoundation 2012-2013 schoolyear grants:

Chick Incubators Funds for this program pro-

vide Lindsey Elementaryteacher Debbie Lachman withan opportunity to present an in-depth study of the life cycle ofchickens from the fertilized egg— provided by a local farm —to adulthood to third grade sci-ence students.

Students will be able towatch the development ofembryos using an OvaScopeallowing them to view the dif-ferent stages of developmentstarting with egg formation,parts and functioning, develop-ment and hatching.

Students will get insight intobiological topics such as bloodcirculation, respiration andbones.

The chicks will be returnedto the farm and owners of thefarm will visit Lindsey to con-duct presentations on the careof the chicks as well as informa-tion about the day-to-day run-ning of sustainable farming.

Stability BallsWEDGE funds in the 2011-

2012 school year providedWestwood Elementary Schoolteacher Jeff Baker with theopportunity to replace chairs inthe classroom with StabilityBalls.

As a result of the successfulintroduction, Baker is expand-ing the program. Studies suggestthat balance balls can lead toimproved concentration, createless classroom noise, help stu-dents get fit as well as stimulatebrain activity.

Once the holes are built, thisnew program will be a perm-anent, sustainable fixturestudents of all ages can play atWestwood.

Each hole will have a signthat describes its particulargeometric component and givescredit to the student team mem-bers.

WG SwimmingSubmitted by Debbie Diadiun

The West Geauga boysswimming and diving teamadded two impressive invita-tional meet victories on back-to-back days in what is shapingup to be a stellar season for theWolverines.

The boys took home thefirst-place trophy from theCleveland Heights HolidayRelay Invitational on Dec. 28and followed up with the Perry

Invitational title Dec. 29. That makes three invitation-

al championships in three triesthis season for the boys, who are3-2 in dual meets. Previously,they won the Bedford LionsInvitational Swimming Relays.

It was the fourth straightyear the boys have won at Perryand the second straight in theCleveland Heights Invitational.

The Wolverines’ versatilityand depth won the day at Perryas the boys racked up points inall but two of the meet’s 12events in the 17-team field, andtotaled 128 points to runner upMadison’s 108.

Top finishers were GabeNock, who finished first in the100-yard freestyle and second inthe 100-yard backstroke; RyanGleske, who finished third inthe 100-yard freestyle andfourth in the 100-yard breast-stroke; and Kyle Wells, who fin-ished second in the diving com-petition.

At Cleveland Heights, theboys took three first places, fivesecond places and one fifth

place in finishing first out offive teams with 78 points — 20in front of runner-up Indepen-dence.

First-place finishers were thediving team of Kyle Wells andChris Stone; the 200-yard med-ley relay team of Gabe Nock,Ryan Gleske, Ryan Lucas andMitchell Owens; and the 400-yard IM Relay team of Nock,Lucas, Gleske and MikeWenrich.

Though they didn’t bringhome the winning trophy, theWest Geauga girls had theirbest showing ever in each of theinvitational meets.

The lady Wolverines tookthird place (out of six teams) atCleveland Heights — just eightpoints behind runner-up Euclid— and finished fourth in the 18-team field at Perry.

At Cleveland Heights, thegirls had one first-place finish— the 200-yard backstrokerelay.

The race showed off theteam’s depth, as half the relaywas made up of first-year swim-mers.

Senior captain Julia Petracled off with first-year swimmersJennifer Humanchuk and ClaireMitri behind her.

Then anchor Jenna Ebers-bacher, who led the girls teamscoring with 8.5 points, enteredthe water in second place, morethan two body-lengths behindthe Independence swimmer.

Ebersbacher graduallyclosed the gap, caught her BlueDevil opponent just after theturn and roared home in thefinal pool length to win the raceby five seconds.

Top Wolverine female finish-ers at Perry were freshmanRachyl Anderson, who broughthome the girls diving trophywith a school-record score of200.7; sophomore Kirstin Boni,who finished first in the 200-yard Individual Medley and sec-ond in the 100-yard freestyle;and sophomore NataliePoremba, who finished fourth inboth the 200-yard Individual

Medley and the 500-yardfreestyle.

Next up for the Wolverinesis the Chagrin Valley Confer-ence Championship Meet,which will be held at Hawkenon Jan 19.

“This is a serious issue,” saysDeborah O’Connor, director ofGeauga County Public Library.“We encourage everyone toinform themselves of the risksand consequences of drug use.These DVDs share this infor-mation and may be convenientfor people who live outside ofG-TV’s viewing area.”

Monica Robins of WKYCChannel 3 moderated theLeadership Geauga sponsoreddiscussion.

G-TV will be airing the dis-cussion and is providing theDVDs to all locations of GCPLfor free.

Opiate addiction in GeaugaCounty has reached alarminglevels, according to members ofthe panel.

In the past 26 months, 50deaths in the county have beenattributed to overdoses of hero-in or opiates.

Heroin has escalated in pop-ularity among middle and highschool students because of itslow price and wide availability.

Heroin-related arrests occurnearly every week.

The discussion brought upseveral points regarding druguse and what people can do toprevent it. The DVD shows twohours of footage and providesreal-life stories from peoplewho deal with drug addictions.

“We would like to thank G-TV for recording the discussionand providing the DVDs,”O’Connor said.
