By Glen Miller Faced with forthcoming fed- eral gun control measures, gun sales in Geauga County and throughout Northeast Ohio have significantly increased. Geauga County Commissi- oner Ralph Spidalieri, owner of Great Lakes Outdoor Supply stores in Middlefield Village, Chester and Madison townships, said gun sales at his stores have gone up 300 percent, with semi automatic rifles and concealed carry revolvers leading the sales. About 7,000 rifles, shotguns and pistols have been sold since the Dec. 14 massacre of 20 first grade students and six school staff in Newtown, Conn., said Spidalieri. Only once in the last five years have gun sales at his stores been nearly as high. Purchases jumped about 150 percent following the election of President Barack Obama in November 2008, when roughly 3,500 different kinds of guns were sold. The new demand is being spurred by fear — “people’s fear that they will loose their Second Amendment rights to bare arms,” Spidalieri said. Most customers Spidalieri has spoken to are law-abiding people who contend the Obama Administration’s gun control efforts are off-target. “It’s not guns that are the problem, but the people who have them — or shouldn’t have them,” said Spidalieri. “For every car in county now, I’d say there’s about five guns to every car. People — some who’ve got huge collections — have a rifle, a pistol or shotgun, or they have a semi-automatic rifle.” He added, “But most behave themselves — obey the law and you have more people getting killed or hurt in car accidents, not shootings.” Spidalieri, a former county deputy sheriff, blames the tragic mass killing on weak mental health laws. “We’re no longer seeing peo- ple institutionalized or getting the extent of care they should have,” he said. “It’s these people — troubled people — who’ve had access to guns, but shouldn’t.” Unlike most area gun deal- ers, Scott Weber, owner of the Gunrunner in Burton, said most of his sales are through auctions, which have increased “for all types of guns.” The number of guns sold in these auctions, however, has “significantly increased,” espe- cially among semi-automatic firearms, said Weber, who often blogs about conservative issues including gun rights. He added he sees the spike in gun sales as “artificial” because it’s due to gun legislation “hyste- ria and hoarding.” Your Community Newspaper Since 1967 8389 Mayfield Rd.

Commissioner Ralph Spida- lieri initially suggested the idea Monday during the commis- sioners’ annual reorganizational meeting when Commissioner Tracy Jemison was elected board president and Commissioner Mary Samide, vice president. Spidalieri suggested one night meeting per week because “not everybody who would like to come to our meetings can come during the day because they are working.” Jemison and Samide didn’t object to the idea, but said night meetings would involve paying overtime to non-salaried employees who might be asked to make reports or comments about issues related to their departments. Departments heads and elected officials are salaried and would not be paid overtime. In addition, regular night meetings might conflict with planning commission and other night meetings, or events they have to attend, Samide said.

But when his parents moved to Burton, he discovered a community he liked better. “There is a certain lifestyle here,” he said. “Business is done differently in Geauga County. You can trust people.” Klein started Main Street Computers on Chardon Square and found the area to be a good place to raise a family. He also began to see a community full of business opportunities, which led him to become more involved.

Before adjourning, Samidealso asked for a public meeting,possibly a special work session,where the commissioners woulddiscuss possibly changing theirpolicy on the rehiring of retiredcounty employees.“This is something we need

to do and soon before we havethis issue come up again,” shesaid.Samide was referring to the

commissioners’ Jan. 8 decisionto rehire Bernadette Gliha, wifeof Geauga County AuditorFrank Gliha, as a part-timehome health care specialist andElizabeth Slattery as a part-time Geauga CountyDepartment On Aging ancillaryprogram coordinator.Both women worked full-

time for the department on

aging in the same positionsprior to their retirements lastyear.Spidalieri voted against their

re-employment, while severalpeople attending the meetingalso voiced their objection. In other action, the commis-

sioners:• Formerly rehired Lair and

all other employees under theiradministrative hiring authority.• Approved a $500,000

Community DevelopmentBlock Grant (CDBG) Revol-ving Loan Fund to SheogaHardwood Flooring andPaneling for the purchase ofmachinery and equipment.Department of Community

and Economic DevelopmentDirector Anita Stocker said thecompany is providing $165,000of its own funds and is beingloaned $985,000 by First MeritBank for the equipment, whichis needed for a new line of lami-nate flooring.

• Approved a total of morethan $43,000 through the OhioEnvironmental ProtectionAgency’s Water PollutionControl Loan Fund’s HouseholdSewage Treatment SystemProgram for new septic systemsfor county homeowners inRussell and Chardon towships.

This year, the program has22 Geauga County companiesoffering 23 positions for interns,Klein said. He credited GGPDirector Frank Samuel withstreamlining the process formatching young men andwomen up with the positionsavailable.Also speaking last week was

state Sen. John Eklund, whodescribed how Ohio TownshipAssociation lobbyist HeidiFought was responsible for res-cuing state healthcare legisla-tion that appeared to bedoomed. Fought recommendedto him that four words be added

to the employee insurance ver-biage: “... and their immediatedependents.”“She saw at the last minute

that the bill wasn’t going tomake it and was aggressiveenough to walk into my officeand ask for help,” said Eklund,R-Munson Township.It was an example of how

the General Assembly shouldwork, he added, explaining thetownships’ lobbyist identifiedthe issue and brought it to thelegislator who was able to takecare of it.Eklund said he made some

calls, touched a lot of bases andmanaged to have the amend-ment made to the bill.

“The tiny gun industry can-not keep up with demand, sothe stores are stripped and themost desirable guns are way,way back in supply,” Weber said.“Hence, there is nothing for thestores to sell.” For example, one magazine

manufacturer is one millionorders behind on one kind ofmagazine, while a firearms man-ufacturer is more than 100,000orders behind on AR-15 rifles. There are reports of cus-

tomers buying 5,000 and 10,000rounds per person demandingmore, Weber said.“Hundreds of guns are

streaming into our facilities and

we’re working two crewsaround the clock to get every-thing on our websites,” Webersaid. The Gunrunner is downsiz-

ing by closing its main store inBurton because of 20 percentincreases in operating expenses,but is relocating into a smallernearby store, he said.Like Spidalieri, Weber said

most gun owners or collectorsobey gun laws.Rather than banning or con-

trolling guns sales, restrictionsshould be placed on access tothem, Weber added.Any federally mandated gun

legis-lation would be an “assaulton the Second Amendment andlaw-abiding gun owners,” hesaid.

Chester Township ParkI want to voice my apprecia-

tion to our Chester Townshipworkers who very diligently pro-vide upkeep and beautify ourtownship and our park. After heavy rains and flood-

ing, they work on cleaning updebris. And during the summer, they

keep up with the park mainte-nance. (One worker in particularwhom I notice is very conscien-tious and detail oriented and hiswork ethic brings joy to myheart.) I also appreciate the yearly

efforts from those residents whoare responsible for making thegazebo and intersection such anattractive feature. The ladies who plant flowers

and the crews who install the hol-iday lighting are a wonderful giftto all of Chester Township.My grandson and I enjoy

using the park and appreciate theopportunity to meet with otherresidents and children within theconfines of our township parkthat is so well maintained. Kudos to our trustees and all

our township workers.

Gun Control and NRAResponseThe Jan. 9 letter of Elliot

Berenson about gun control andthe NRA begs a response.While it is true that the men

who drew up the original Bill ofRights could not foresee the typeof weaponry that is now extent insociety, does Mr. Berenson thinkit is necessary for the law to per-mit only muskets and single shotpistols? Perhaps he never served his

country in the Armed Forces andis unaware that a semi-automaticweapon, whether rifle or hand-gun, is one that discharges onebullet every time the trigger ispulled. This is apparent from his ref-

erence to “semi-automatic assaultrifles and handguns.” An automatic weapon is one

that keeps on firing once the trig-ger is pulled until the magazineof ammo is empty.Try to envision a homeowner

loading up his musket with anintruder already in his house, anintruder who disobeys the lawand has a semi-automatic hand-gun. In that battle, I’d put my

money on the felon every time.The liberal mass media,

Congress and Mr. Berenson aremissing the bigger problem,namely, the drug industry and itsfar-reaching hand in all thesemass shootings. Here is a fact as documented

by writer David Kupelian in hisbook “How Evil Works:” “Mostperpetrators of school shootingsand similar mass murders in ourmodern era were either on — orjust recently coming off of — psy-chiatric medications.”In just three examples of

many such incidents, Eric Harrisof the Columbine killings, wastaking Luvox, an anti-depressantlike Prozac.In 1989, Joe Wesbecker shot

20 people killing nine at a com-pany in Louisville, Ken., onemonth after starting on Prozac. In 1998, Kip Kinkel, age 15,

murdered his parents and wentto school the next day andkilled two while wounding 22others. He was taking Prozacand Ritalin.Drug companies provide big

financial support to members ofCongress so you will not see ourcorrupt legislative body goingafter them. As always, just follow the

money trail. Or, if you prefer,like Mr. Berenson, just round upthe usual suspects, i.e., thosewho make guns and the NRA.

Jan. 30: Griswold CreekErosion Meeting 7 p.m.Residents interested in

learning more about an oppor-tunity to receive financial assis-tance to address erosion issuesalong Griswold Creek areencouraged to attend a meetingat the Russell Historic TownHall, 14890 Chillicothe Road. Griswold Creek is a cold

water habitat stream that flowsthrough Chester and Russelltownships and enters theChagrin River in HuntingValley. It maintains a unique biolog-

ical community and a coldstream temperature due to sig-nificant amounts of groundwa-ter feeding the stream. Thecreek is also home to the red-side dace, a declining fishspecies in Ohio, as well as steel-head trout.Ohio EPA has determined

that Griswold Creek is in partialattainment of the cold waterhabitat use at Fairmount Road,but the lower reach at FallsRoad is in nonattainment.

This dynamic stream hasbeen experiencing continuouserosion and down cutting of thechannel. In 1989-1990, two privately

owned dams were breached. These dam breaches and

other watershed developmenthave caused downstream reachesto change due to the change instream hydrology.Numerous areas of Griswold

Creek exhibit channel instabilitythrough stream bank erosion anddown cutting stream channels. Several property owners

along Griswold have takenaction to address these erosionconcerns with varying degrees ofsuccess. In late 2012, the Chagrin

River Watershed Partners, Inc.was awarded funding from twosources — a Lake Erie Protec-tion Fund grant from the OhioLake Erie Commission to com-plete stream surveys and concep-tual stream restoration design,and a Great Lakes BasinProgram for Soil Erosion andSediment Control grant to assistlandowners with streambank sta-bilization efforts.

This meeting will explainthese grant opportunities andprovide information aboutstreambank stabilization tech-niques. Visit www.crwp.org formore information.
