To provide informationabout its open enrollment poli-cies and practices, West GeaugaSchools administrators areholding a community informa-tion night 7 p.m. Oct. 30 inRoom 124 at the high school.According to an announce-

ment issued by the school, top-ics will include long-range plan-ning and enrollment updatesand projections.“Following the presentation,

there will be an opportunity forquestions of the treasurer(Michele Tullai) and me. Theformat for submission of ques-tions has yet to be determined,”Superintendent Geoff Palmersaid.Several residents, including

Anita Zurcher, Joe Miller andMike Spies have called for anopen, town hall-style meeting

with school board memberssince September, after hearingof enlarged class sizes and pos-sible behavior problems due tothe addition of students wholive in other communities. Spies expressed concern

over whether the additional stu-dents are costing the districtmoney in terms of morestaffing, rather than providingadditional revenue, as has beenstated by the board.“It’s very disturbing to see

core class sizes up to 31 at theelementary schools,” Zurchersaid Oct. 17 after receivinginformation she requested fromthe school board.Resident Paul Dinato added,

“We want to hear from you. Itdoesn’t help that you don’t wantto talk to us. I’m paying $6,000

The Henry House is a valu-able asset and should be reno-vated for Chester TownshipPark Board meetings and town-ship records storage, ParkBoard members told trusteesThursday. In addition, the park officials

discussed options for publicaccess to the township-owned80 acres, also known as theSalamone farm. Both have become the cen-

ter of controversy during thelast several months, when resi-dents have questioned the wis-dom of purchasing them. Park board member Lance

Yandell told trustees Thursdayhis group had gone to formerTrustee Pat Mula to find outwhy trustees closed the 80-acreparcel to public access whenthey purchased the property 12years ago for $850,000. “The purpose of the ‘No

Trespassing’ signs were wellfounded and had credence,” toprotect the township’s liabilityuntil trustees could determinehow to convert the property topark use, he said. “That conversation led to us

pursuing where to start,”Yandell said. “And that led us toquite a journey and perhaps acan of worms.”

Assessing 80-Acre ParcelPark board members met

with officials from the townshipfire, police and road depart-ments, members of the WesternReserve Land Conservancy,representatives of the town-ship’s insurance company, AllWays Flasher sign company andAqua Doc pond specialists toanalyze the property’s attrib-utes and liabilities, he said. The board also had discus-

sions with representatives of theOhio Department of NaturalResources, the Ohio Fish andWildlife Commission and theGeauga County Prosecutor’s

Office about how to open theland to the public withoutexposing the township to poten-tial liability if someone wouldget injured on the property. “Our recommendation is to

open it to the public andremove the ‘Keep Out’ signs,”Yandell told trustees. “The pondshould be stocked and we needto better identify the property.” He recommended it be

named either North Park orPark North.“It will mean more to the

public when it has a name,” hesaid.

Salamone Property, HenryHouse Changes Recommended

The percentage of historicand century homes in RussellTownship is high and, often, thecost of maintenance andrestoration of those homes canbe high as well.With that in mind, township

trustees debated last Wednes-day the wisdom of signing upthe township as a member ofthe Heritage Home Program,which could help homeownerskeep their properties in goodcondition.Several weeks ago, a repre-

sentative of the program —

which is operated by theHeritage Home EducationalSociety, a subsidiary of TheCleveland Restoration Society— attended a trustees meeting. He said a township member-

ship gives homeowners accessto technical advice, workshopsand loans to get work done ontheir residences. To qualify for the assistance,

a home must be 50 years orolder and be in a township thathas a membership, he said.Cost of the membership is

$2,600.

From therapeutic horsebackriding and a Highland pipersprogram to painting the gymfloor, proceeds from the annualQuilt and Craft Auction benefitvarious spectrums of the diverseMetzenbaum Center.While the beautiful, hand-

stitched quilts and crafts willdraw hundreds of buyers to8200 Cedar Road in ChesterTownship on Nov. 2, you can betfolks who travel from Clevelandand other distant points willbring their appetites with them.

“Come for the breakfast,stay for the auction!” the eventflier suggests, also listing the hotlunch, refreshments and roomfull of Amish baked goods forsale.“I always buy pies and take

them home and freeze them,”said Patti Gallagher, treasurerof Friends and Families ofMetzenbaum Center, whichsponsors the auction.The day-long event is a tra-

dition established during the

DIANE RYDER/CNChestet Township Park Board members Joe Weiss (front), Lance Yandelland Peg Vitale show residents new signs that will be erected on the town-ship's 80-acre parcel in the north end of the township. Trustees plan toturn the land into a park.

1980’s to provide supplementalfunding for projects and pro-grams for the developmentallydisabled Metzenbaum clients,said Amish committee memberFreeman Miller of Middlefield.The original idea was to have

the women from each churchmake a quilt each year to auctionoff, but after a couple of years, thecommunity decided to split thechore, he said.

Now, about half the churchesmake quilts and the other halfbakes for the event.This year, women from the

churches north of state Route87 are baking and those southof Route 87 are stitching quilts,Miller said. Next year they willswitch.

So far, 26 quilts have beenpromised, mostly for double andqueen-sized beds, but more couldarrive, Miller said.“Some people bring quilts the

day of the auction,” Gallaghersaid. Betty Miller presented a list

of the quilts with well-known pat-terns such as Star of Bethlehemand Trip Around the World. Lesscommon is the Feather Heartwith Doves. “These are one-of-a-kind

gifts,” her husband said. While the patterns have been

handed down for generations, thecombinations of colors and fab-rics make each quilt unique.Auctioneers Pete Howes,

Crist Miller and Owen Millerdonate their time and skills inthe center auditorium to be surethe quilts, furniture, handcraftedtoys, wreathes, Amish rockersand variety of items bring thebest price to help supportMetzenbaum. Geauga Meats in Troy

Township always donates twoquarters of beef for the auction,too, Miller said.Another room at the center

will be turned into a holiday shopfull of hand-made items, and thehallway will be lined with baskets

and such donations to be soldduring the silent auction andChinese raffle, Gallagher said.Hundreds of visitors are

expected to enjoy lunch includingclam chowder, pizza and otherdonated entrees as well as home-made pies, Betty Miller said.“Lots of folks come to the

auction to eat,” she said, addingthey also clean out the room fullof baked good.“There’s everything in that

bake sale,” Gallagher said. The week before the Quilt

and Craft Auction, Amishkitchens will be extra busy aspies, cakes, breads and othergoodies are prepared. Because there are so many

women doing the baking, it is nottoo big a chore, Betty Miller said.Gallagher’s team collects the

goods by the car-full just beforethe auction and takes them to thecenter, she said.It adds up to a car load from

each church district, with 40

districts on the south side and30 on the north side. “It’s a great group of people.

We can’t do it without eachother,” she said of the dozen orso core members as well as the40 or 50 volunteers who handlesales, serve food and clean up thecenter.

“Most volunteers come backevery year,” Betty added.When the doors to the baked

goods room open, there is a rushfor the favorite items.“I think the pies and breads

go first,” Gallagher said. “There’severything in that bake sale. It’s alot of work.”The quilt and craft auction

continues to evolve. This year, the committee will

be selling raffle tickets for anAmish Wedding Dinner for 15people at the home of RachelYoder on Patch Road, Gallaghersaid. Tickets will be $5 each or six

for $20.

Trustee Jim Dickinson saidhe talked to two residents whoread about the program in theGeauga County Maple Leaf andfeel the money would be wellspent.“People are interested. They

would like us to look into it,”Trustee Justin Madden said. He proposed taking a post-

card poll of homeowners in thetownship to find out how manywould take advantage of theservices the program offers.The Heritage Home Program

has member communities onboth sides of Cleveland, but nonein Geauga County, yet.“They want to get their foot

in the door,” said Fiscal OfficerChuck Walder.The representative said the

cost to the member communitydepends on several factorsincluding property values.The program also has connec-

tions to contractors who are usedto renovating or adding on toolder homes without ruiningtheir historic appearance, he said.Another benefit to the pro-

gram would be that fixing up onehome in a neighborhood addsvalue to nearby properties,Madden said.Dickinson said he lives in an

older home and can see the use-fulness of the program.Just having access to reliable

skilled craftsmen could make theinvestment worthwhile, he said.He directed the trustees sec-

retary to send out an email blaston the matter, put the questionout on the township websiteand include it in the newsletter.

in taxes to this school. I couldbuy a house in South Euclid for$10,000 and send my kids here.Why not merge with a schooldistrict close to us?”About 50 people attended

the Oct. 14 school board meet-ing, many of them hoping tohear answers from board mem-bers about open enrollment andother issues, including 90-minute bus rides for elementaryschool students to travel fivemiles home from St. AnselmSchool. The meeting became con-

tentious when the board voted3-2 against holding a town hallmeeting with residents. Board members Michael

Kilroy and Jackie Dottore votedin favor of the meeting. Board President Bill Beers

and member Ben Kotowskivoted against it , indicatingsuch a meeting held before the

general election on Nov. 5could be construed as political.Member Sally Gillmore alsovoted against it without mak-ing a comment.Beers and Gillmore are on

the ballot for re-election to theboard.Dottore argued that holding

the meeting would “allow peo-ple to ask questions and notcreate a battle back and forthbetween the public and theboard.”Kotowski said he answered

questions via email to Zurcherand others.“People don’t want to under-

stand,” Kotowski said at thepublic meeting. “I explained itto my 16-year-old daughter andshe got it. It’s like Barney Franksaid, ‘Talking to you is like talk-ing to my dining room table.’”Outraged, Zurcher and sev-

eral others walked out of themeeting.Kilroy later apologized to

the group on behalf of theboard in an email to the group.

Zurcher thanked him andsaid, “I may be as dumb as atable in Mr. Kotowski’s opinion,but I am pretty sure that not allWest Geauga residents were inattendance during the past twoboard meetings and they arenot on these emails. If you thinkopen enrollment, in its currentstate, is such as great idea, whywould you not want to have anopen forum to get the factsout?”Kotowski later apologized

by email stating he used “a vari-ation of a famous line utteredby Massachusetts Rep. BarneyFrank.”“I did not mean to suggest

that anyone in attendance wasstupid and the comment wasnot addressed to any individ-ual,” he said. “Every personattending board meetingsdeserves to be treated withcourtesy by the board.”The next school board meet-

ing is scheduled for 7 p.m. Oct.28 in the Middle SchoolCommunity Room, 8611 CedarRoad.

ATVs to be Warned OffYandell held up a sign he

said should be in place to warnresidents motorized vehiclessuch as ATVs will not beallowed on the property. The WRLC letter to

trustees early this year notifiedthem the township was in viola-tion of the conservation agree-ment because the agency hadfound evidence of ATV use onthe property. Trustee Mike Joyce said the

signs would be posted as a wayto warn the public they wereusing the land at their own riskuntil the trustees decide how toconvert the land to a park.Joyce had made a successful

motion last month to open theland to public use. “Once these signs are up,

we’ll take down the ‘NoTrespassing’ signs so our liabili-ty is covered and the public canuse it,” Joyce said. Park board member Joe

Weiss said the board met withthe prosecutor and visited othertownship parks to get ideas forhow best to use the 80 acres. About 27 acres are useable

for ball fields and other activi-ties. The remainder — mostlywoods and wetlands — are in apermanent conservation ease-ment agreement with theWRLC, Joyce said. The zoning commission has

been defining active and passiveparks, but zoning commissionmember Linda Gifford saidthey are waiting for the land tobe surveyed before presentingtheir proposal to trustees.

Henry House RepairsDoableYandell also talked about

the Henry House, which thetrustees purchased in 2009 for$110,000 for storage and as aheadquarters for the parkboard. Several residents immediate-

ly questioned the need for thebuilding and its cost. Trustees put the project on

the back burner for the last

three years. Last winter, thehouse suffered some interiordamage from water pipes thatfroze and burst. Yandell said Geauga

County’s building inspector andseveral construction experts,concluded the building can beeasily repaired. “All of these people were

profoundly articulate,” Yandellsaid. “The building is in rathergood condition. Taking it downis really not an option.”

The building needs minorrepairs to drywall, plumbingand a support beam as well assome painting and cleaning up,he said. “We suggest you consider

repairing the main floor,” hesaid. “The upstairs and thedownstairs could be used forstorage and is dry.” Modifications are necessary

to meet Americans WithDisabilities Act standards. “The road department and

the township hall are in desper-ate need of storage,” Yandellsaid, adding that park boardmembers have been storingrecords in their homes.

Property was ‘A Steal’Trustee Judy Caputo asked

the park board memberswhether they thought the prop-erty is worth the $110,000 pur-chase price. “I’ve taken a lot of criticism

over my decision two years agoto purchase the Henry House,”Caputo said, asking Yandellwhether the building expertshad told him what the housewas worth. “In their opinions, it was a

steal,” Yandell said. A local architect is willing to

draw up remodeling plans for$2,500 to $3,000, he said. Whenthe plans are ready, the town-ship could get estimates for therestoration work and advertisefor bids. “I was amazed and excited

that they all were adamantabout the building beingrestored,” he told trustees. The rumor mill exaggerated

the extent of damage to thehouse. “I became a victim of

rumors,” Yandell said. “At one

point, when we heard about(the damage), we all thought itshould come down. I’m guilty ofit, you’re guilty of it — thinkingthat based on the rumors, it hadto go.” Road Department Super-

intendent Rob Pealer said hiscrew can paint the inside of theHenry House during winter“down time” when not plowing. “I’m pleased to hear the

building is in such good shape,”Joyce told Yandell. Weiss recommended the

park board and trustees meetwith the architect to share ideason how to design the renova-tions for the best use. “I, like Lance, had no opin-

ion about the house till I wentin there,” Weiss told trustees. “Iwas very pleased with what Isaw. It’s very useable.” It has a good well and septic

system, a 2002 furnace, goodroof and windows, and a greatlocation adjacent to the parkand near the township hall.

Township Campus“This will be Chester’s one

big campus,” Weiss said. “I’mproud of it, but it’s extremelyimportant to bring these thingstogether to create a campus.” A room in the house may

have been used as the town-ship’s first post office, giving thehouse historic significance,Joyce said. Trustee Ken Radtke, who

has questioned the township’slack of decision about the build-ing’s future, criticized the othertwo trustees for keeping himout of the planning process. “The issue is a level above

(what is being discussed),”Radtke said. “I voted againstthe 2013 budget and the 2014budget because it included$15,000 for the Henry Housewithout public discussion.” Radtke repeated a com-

plaint he has aired previously,accusing Caputo of acting indi-vidually to ask Yandell to studythe building, but said he ishappy the project is on the frontburner. “I’m glad to see we’re mov-

ing forward and I hope toinvolve the entire community inthe process,” Radtke said.

Voters in Chester Townshipwill be asked to decide on a 0.8-mill fire levy renewal on theNov. 5 ballot. If passed, the levy will con-

tinue to bring in about $171,000per year and cost the owner of a$100,000 property $15. The levy was first passed in

1993, said Fire Chief JohnWargelin. “We try to provide the town-

ship with the most bang for thebuck,” Wargelin said. The department has one

full-time employee, about 33part-time employees and abudget of about $1.4 million peryear, he said.The department answers

roughly 1,200 calls annually,with about 80 percent for emer-gency rescue, the chief said. Billing insurance companies

for ambulance transports bringsin about $200,000 every year,which Wargelin said is a mainreason the township has beenable to function within a tightbudget as demand for servicesgoes up every year.

“Everything costs more. Wehave an aging structure thatneeded a new HVAC system thisyear and we needed repairs toour hose tower,” Wargelin said.“We’ve tried to do everything wecan to keep costs down becausewe know this is not a good timeto ask for additional money. Wehave a lot of seniors on fixedincomes in our community.”When township trustees

approved placing the issue onthe ballot, Trustee Judy Caputosaid she favored asking for arenewal rather than additionalfunding. “I feel more comfortable

with a renewal because weknow we can’t live without it,”Caputo said at that meeting,adding trustees have not askedfor additional money since2005, the year before she tookoffice. Wargelin said the depart-

ment keeps costs down by hir-ing part-time employees — whoare not paid health care orretirement benefits — sharingequipment with other depart-ments whenever possible, main-taining equipment to increase

their life expectancy and apply-ing for grants. “Fire departments work well

in that respect,” Wargelin said.“We all rely on each other andit works very well for all com-munities.” He said voters have tradi-

tionally supported fire levies ata rate of about 75 percent. “Our taxpayers have been

very supportive and we’re verygrateful,” the chief said. “We’rethe good guys; we don’t issuetickets.”

Chester Seeks Fire Levy Renewal

JOSH ECHT/CNThe entrance to the Parker Drive subdivision in Chester Township displays a Cleveland Browns helmet sign. Longtime owners Al and Kathy Fuldauer, who recently moved away from Chester Township, would maintain thesign and run power to it from their house nearby. Al Fuldauer would hang lights or season-appropriate decora-tions, and the Browns helmet was his last gift to the subdivision before he moved away, said Parker Drive residentSue Geither.

Septic Tank LawWe moved here 15 years ago

because of the great WestGeauga Schools. Now, we arefinding it hard to move out ofGeauga County because we aregoing to lose our shirt, dishingout the money to install the newseptic tank or lowering the priceof our home, so that the newowners can install the new aer-ated septic tank within the firstyear of ownership.It only makes sense that

local enrollment is going todecline and open enrollment ofthose who live on the outskirtsof Geauga County, is going toincrease. People are going to use open

enrollment because they cannotafford Geauga County’s in-creased cost of homes, due tothe septic tank law. Had we known this was

going to happen, I do notbelieve we would have pur-chased a house in GeaugaCounty. When will we get the oppor-

tunity to overturn this foolishwaste of everyone’s money?

Connie CumpsonChester Township

Time for a ChangeI am writing to support Dr.

Tom Phelps and Dan Thoresonfor West Geauga School Board.I have lived in this town foryears and see marked improve-ment since we elected newboard members six years ago. For the first time in years, we

have balanced budgets, newtechnology and the districtstopped its dangerous slide inthe state rankings. I may not always agree with

board members’ style, but Ithink new people bring newideas, new perspectives andreduce all the silly politics. Sillypolitics never helped a child’seducation. So, I am all for giving new

people a chance to continuehelping the improvements thatstarted six years ago. Vote Phelps and Thoreson. Time for a change. Time to give new ideas a

chance.

Joe TranchitaChester Township

Move Forward, NotBackwardI’m writing in support of

candidates Dr. Thomas Phelpsand Mr. Dan Thoreson, bothrunning for seats on the WestGeauga School Board. Each candidate is highly

qualified. Each is a long-termresident with children who haveattended West Geauga Schools. Their careers bring them in

daily contact with the communi-ty. Operating medical practicesand real estate offices requiresboth an eye towards finance aswell as the needs of patientsand families. They represent ourhealth and our homes. Please remember that it was

only a few years ago the districtwas in financial turmoil. Endless votes resulting in

two emergency levies. Citizenscarrying signs marching at thetown center. The proposed solu-tion was the Earned IncomeTax. The claim was that the dis-trict absolutely needed to spend$29 million dollars per year in2010. We wisely defeated the tax

by an 80/20 margin. That wasthe first of many votes wherewe reined in spending andpumped new blood into theschool board. The result? In 2012, spend-

ing was $24.8 million dollarsand the district has maintainedan excellent rating. The board members running

for re-election now supportedthe income tax then. They sup-ported the levies and budgetsthat have turned out to begrossly in error.A competent and independ-

ent board is our best defenseagain simply rubber-stampingthe wishes and whims of super-intendents that come and gowhile we pick up the tab. Adding Dr. Phelps and Mr.

Thoreson to the board will helpsolidify the gains we haveworked so hard to achieve. Please join me in voting for

them on Nov. 5. Let’s move forward, not

backward.

Business SenseLinda O’Brien is a candidate

for Russell township trustee. In the past 10 years, I have

known and worked with Lindaon issues affecting the preserva-tion of the unique lifestyleGeauga County residents cher-ish and hold dear. As a 22-year resident of

Russell Township who passion-ately enjoys the benefits of liv-ing in the country with her hors-es, protecting and maintainingthat lifestyle for her family andfor future generations is a criti-cal concern for Linda. She is aware of the adverse

effects big government hasupon communities and is dedi-cated to keeping Columbus andWashington bureaucrats out ofthe business of Russell Town-ship. As the owner of her own

business and as a consultant forFortune 100 companies, privateequity investments and the U.S.Department of Defense, shebrings to any issue her experi-ence as a no-nonsense, fiscallyconservative leader. She is determined to halt

what have been continual prop-erty tax increases by imple-menting best business practices.She is educationally well

prepared for office, havingearned a B.S. in Psychologyfrom Ursuline College and anM.S. in Organizational Devel-opment and Analysis from CaseWestern Reserve University.Linda has served as a trustee of

residents should vote for LindaO’Brien, an experienced leaderwho believes in “business sense”not “political nonsense.”

Denver Sallee Russell Township

Ethical and IntegrityToo often, we must vote for

candidates without any realknowledge of them.Therefore, I’ll speak about

Mike Joyce, a trustee up for re-election. He has a rare andstrong sense of ethics andmorality. So, to provide a true look

into the person, I’ll share aboutwho Mike Joyce, my father,really is.Younger, I was captivated by

stories about him for thestrength of character theyexhibited. For example, during a tour

in the Philippines (VietnamEra), he witnessed harshinequities dealt to children.They begged for money to

give fathers who bought alcoholwith it. Seeing this, he startedbuying palettes of meats and sit-ting with them near the chil-dren.When they approached, ask-

ing whether he would eat allthat food, he replied that, no, heneeded help. Naturally, offers were given.

Mike Joyce cared for perfectstrangers because he saw theneed and knew he could help.This is the person he has alwaysbeen and continues to be.

Also, Mike and Diane Joycewere foster parents to at least14 troubled youngsters. Opening their home to oth-

ers was always their way. Theirsupport and defense of thesechildren was so complete that,in one especially difficult situa-tion, they rallied for and wonthe right to adopt a foster child. Their battles in her defense

gave me a sister. They adopted atotal of three children into ourfamily and by my birth, hadpieced together a family of lov-ing siblings for me to grow with.That family, plus our later-bornbrother, remains the most loyalgroup of people I know.Mike Joyce has long been an

inspiring force in hard work. With a very young, large

family at home, he put himselfthrough college to achieve hisMBA from Lake Erie even ashe worked full-time. Growing up, we came to rec-

ognize the value of his dedica-tion when an insecure economysaw him juggling multiple jobs.Throughout all, he was a pres-ent, patient father who alwaysfound time for special activities. Our home was and is filled

with laughter, love, learning andloyalty. Mike Joyce is a personcapable of balancing the impor-tant things without losing themeaningful, vital content.As we grew, so did his

absolute commitment to Ches-ter Township. Whether through his volun-

teer work (Kiwanis), his educa-tional work (Suburban) or hispolitical work (zoning inspector,12 years; elections marshall, 15years; trustee, four years) MikeJoyce has dedicated himself tothe ethical and equitable treat-ment of others. He values Chester laws and

ways highly and thinks continu-ously of what the people wantand need.

Previously, we alone wereMike Joyce’s family, but thehours of work and tireless efforthe invests to maintain the ethicsand integrity of Chester requirean altered view. For Mike Joyce, his family is

the group of people he tirelesslyfights to defend from those whowould harm them. I thereforewelcome you all into the family.

Stop the MadnessI believe Chester Township

is ready for a change in govern-ment. We have the opportunity to

make a change by voting in theNov. 5 election. On that day, wecan use our votes to stop themadness in our township. I am writing to encourage

you to vote for Ward L. “Bud”Kinney. I know Bud to be a 20-plus

year resident of Chester thathas actively participated in vol-unteer activities to support ourcommunity. He began the recycling pro-

gram, helped create the commu-nity disaster plan and served onthe West Geauga RecreationCouncil and the West GeaugaEducation Foundation. Bud is an engineer that has

been involved in various aspects

of business that includes thecreation and execution ofstrategic plans.He’s a global thinker and

doer, allowing him to looktowards and plan for the futurewhile being a good steward ofthe present. Bud is also a learner. In

preparation for this election,Bud has been studying OhioTownship Trustee governancestandards. He’s been activelyseeking information on how thestate guides townships and he’sbeen attending our trusteemeetings to hear what the com-munity has to say.Combining a proven com-

mitment to our communitythrough countless hours of vol-unteerism and his businessexperience, Bud will serve ourcommunity well. Help me stop the madness

by voting for Ward L. “BudKinney on Nov. 5.

Susan KrugerChester Township

When OE Makes SenseIn a recent letter to the edi-

tor, Ben Kotowski informs usthat open enrollment brings in"over $1.2 million in statemoney that keep our taxeslower."Anthony Kosley asks in his

letter, "Where is the other$5,300 coming from?" As Mr.Kosley informs us, the districtreceives $5,700 per studentfrom the state, while the aver-age cost per student is $11,000.The concerned Mr. Kosley is

clearly confused, as he is askingthe wrong question. In regardsto the financial impact on tax-payers, what counts is the totalcost for running the school dis-trict and the cost of adding astudent, not the current averagecost per student.Perhaps we can liken adding

a student to the district likeadding a rider to a car pool. Ifyou have two people in a car ona commute that costs $20, theaverage cost is $10 per person.Adding another person does notadd the full $10 average cost tothe ride. Rather, adding a personto the car reduces the averagecost, and, if the added personcontributes enough toward thecommute, the other members ofthe car pool benefit.Now I am quite sure the

over $1.2 million from openenrollment is not all profit forWest Geauga, as I would thinkthere must be some cost to adda student. But to the extentadding open enrollment stu-dents and state money is likeadding members to a carpool,we can see that it might actuallyreduce the total cost to localtaxpayers.Rather than getting hung up

on the average cost per student,we should look at the total costto local taxpayers for runningthe district without any openenrollment compared to thetotal cost to local taxpayers atvarious levels of open enroll-ment (especially the currentlevel). In that manner we couldidentify what levels of openenrollment make finacial sense.

You got to let it go, guys! By now,five days after… It should be a dis-tant memory! Your brain should befocused on the Bombers from Ken-ston now; either that or you shouldbe dreaming about a condo on thebeach at sunset. Picture the viewfellas; the easy rolling break of thewaves back dropped by a half set-tled sun glowing to perfection…parlayed by a swift breeze deliver-ing the scent of the eveningsocean air… ahhhh. To the Condo!

Focus Triv, focus….

In all seriousness though. As yougrow older you’re going to hearthose around you talk about adver-sity and how to overcome it. WellWolverines this is adversity andnow it’s time to overcome it; yourseason is far from over.

“Absolutely it’s heartbreaking,”head coach Lou Cirino said.“These kids worked all year for agame like this. To come up shortlike that….

“But your season is not going to bedefined by one game…. Win orlose, you get one night to celebrateor cry, then wake up the next dayand move on as MEN.”

Time to become MEN fellas! Timeto kick the negative gut to the curband smack back the pain of yourbroken hearts! Do not let doubtcreep into your soul and cuddle upwith that defeat. Fight a little harderand punch doubt in the face, and ifdoubt is still standing, punch itagain!

Welcome back Wolverine fans foranother chapter of West Geaugafootball. A somber rise and shinegreeted us this past Saturdaymorning in our fine town ofChester; but the sun came upsame way it always does.

It was Senior Night this past Friday,and your mothers and fathers, withtheir hands over your heart, walkedyou one final time across yourHoly Grail of High School Foot-ball...Howell Field. In the dark andin the light they stood firmly by yourside watching you tussle with someterrible times. Kiss your mother and

shake your father’s hand gentle-men, because your mother andfather suffer as you suffer and cel-ebrate as you celebrate! Say thankyou fellas because even thoughthey may not say it I promise you it’sthe biggest of deals!

They did it with class, they did itwith pride, and most of all they areall *�� +Your “Boys of Fall” are slowlygrowing into *��#��$%��!��+

No sense in dwelling on theobvious, Wolverine fans, this onehurt! From the outset the gametook on the personality of a CVCcage match pitting the *�%�' �$�' �� $"(�%!#�,&+� against *� ��)��$��!��%�+ Four quarters offerociousness played out over a48 minute football game; and yetagain it would come down to thefinal seconds.

The Wolverine’s took the open kickand turned it into a 7 – 0 lead afterQB Connor scurried in from thethirteen followed up by BrandonJudson’s point after. Things werelooking up a few minutes in… butjust like the Tigers of old they didnot quiver nor cower, they kept cooland nipped at the Wolverine leadwith a 28 yard field goal narrowingthe margin to four in the secondquarter.

Both teams traded possessionsbefore Chagrin Falls found agroove midway thru the secondquarter. Driving deep insideWolverine territory, Chagrin QBMichael Brigeman had his pocket

picked by young Carmen Engoliawho returned the interception allthe way down inside the ChagrinFalls thirty five. A last ditch effortby Brigeman was enough to trip upCarmen, who stumbled forwardtrying to catch his balance; stay upCarm, don’t… go… down…

Under heavy pressure and flushedout of the pocket a few plays laterQB Connor scrambled to his leftand thru a strike thirty four yardshitting a well-covered TommySnavely in the end-zone; now it’s14 – 3 and the Wolverines have allthe momentum.

But too many penalties turned intotoo many extra downs and way tomany additional yards which even-tually led to points, and in a tightgame against very good competi-tion those points proved costly!

Defensively the Wolverines werebending a little but never reallybroke. Were the Tigers moving theball? Sure… but instead of theassumed seven, Chagrin Falls wasforced to accept the unusual three.

A late first half fumble recovered bythe Falls set up Chagrin with greatfield position which they utilized totheir advantage; 14 – 10 going intothe half!

Offensively the second half did notgo the way the Wolverines hadhoped. Shut down much of thethird and fourth quarters West Glost its home field swagger some-where in the cornucopia of colorthat is Chesterland in October;football back dropped by autumnsturning trees and falling leaves, itreally doesn’t get any better. Wellyes it does, it just didn’t this night!

Ed Shelley proved to be a problemall night for the Wolverinesaccounting for all of the Tigerspoints in the second half; a touch-down and two field goals. Nonebigger than the final 18 yarder giv-ing his team a 22 – 14 lead. But

the Wolverines have been herebefore and I know they wereconfident they could do it again!

Starting out at their own twentywith just over three minutes leftthe Wolverines set out in searchof continued perfection in theCVC’s Chagrin Division. Krouseconnected on six straight passes,biggest of which went to CurtWilliams who got the ball insidethe ten. The Wolverines had fourshots to trim the lead to two, andon fourth and goal from the twoKrouse muscled in behind his bigole offensive line; 22- 20 and thisis it, one more play to play on!

It wasn’t to be though. Krouse gottripped up on his way to whatappeared to be a for sure twopoints and a tie game. Under-standable hurt was obvious asthe agony of defeat set in; nothingwrong with that, fellas! That’s justyour “Give a Damn” seeping thru.Now I know you probably felt likeyou were on life support Saturdaymorning, like maybe the wholeworld just came to an end. Didn’tthough, did it?

Stay up and stay focused on theprize, Wolverines; an invite tothe week 11 dance! Oh, andoccasional mental of that condoon the beach never hurts...To theCondo!

Re-Purpose, Don’t SellYour GoldSelling gold jewelry to get a

few extra bucks based on scrapvalue is not always the bestavailable option.“We specialize in recycling

old gold to create somethingwearable, something to enjoy,an heirloom to treasure,“ saidMark Saric of Prestige Jewels,Inc. in Chester Township.A ring or bracelet that is no

longer worn, a gold watch thatwas passed down or earringsthat no longer fit tastes andtrends can be converted intosomething modern and desir-able.“Today many folks prefer to

have a statement piece or a fewfavorite items, while others sim-ply want to clear out clutter,and combining accumulatedpieces is a great way to retainvalue,” Saric said.If going custom is not

desired, consider a trade, espe-cially to an updated look andhope to exchange yellow forwhite or rose gold jewelry.Another option is to use

odds and ends to offset the costof necessary repairs.“A customer may have a

ring that has been exposed towear and tear and it makessense to offset labor and materi-al costs with a trade for unused,scrap gold,” Saric added.Jewelry captures moments in

time — where did you buy it,how were you inspired or whomade it for you — so don’t justsell it for cash, unless you reallyhave to. Make sure to tell yourstory. Visit Prestige Jewels, 12660

West Geauga Plaza, ChesterTownship, or call Saric, 440-729-8325.

Be Kind to Your FeetDid you know your feet

experience more daily wear andtear than any other body part? It’s true. “After all, your feel form the

foundation for your entirebody,” explains Brian Ramona,licensed physical therapist andowner of Pro-Activities PhysicalTherapy Clinic, at 8399Mayfield Road, Chester Town-ship.

The feet are remarkablycomplex structures, but thiscomplexity makes them vulner-able to the constant stress theyendure. Such stress often damages

them and leads to aches and ail-ments throughout the body.Fortunately, high qualityorthotics provide an effectivesolution to many of these prob-lems. Orthotics are custom fitted

inserts placed on the soles offootwear. They provide support,distribute corrective pressureand realign joints in the feet. “Properly designed orthotics

provide many of my patientswith natural, lasting and afford-able relief for many ailments,including foot, leg and backpain, Achilles tendonitis, shinsplints and more,” said Ramona. The Pro-Activities owner

has practiced physical therapyfor more than 20 years and rec-ognizes the complexity oforthotics science. This is why he underwent

special training to acquire theexpertise to offer state-of-the-art orthotics for his patients. Hedoes so in the comfort of thePro-Activities office.

If you think orthotics mightbenefit you, stop by Pro-Activities or give the facility acall at 440-729-0406. Consul-tations are free and there is noobligation to purchase anything.You have nothing to lose

except, perhaps a few of thosenagging aches, pains andinjuries.

Time to Change the West G School Board

Vote for Dr. Tom Phelps and Dan Thoreson

This past Monday, 100 people showed up at the West Geauga School Boardmeeting to try to find out information about open enrollment. What followed wasembarrassing, insulting and too far out of line for elected officials. It was a jokeof a meeting.

When asked to have a community meeting Mr. Beers and Sally Gilmore votedagainst it. What do they have to hide? Then Mr. Kotowski made the commentthat talking to the public meeting was like talking to a dining room table.Mr. Beers did nothing to stop the barrage of insults. Nor did Mr. Beers apologizeon behalf of the board for what was clearly unacceptable behavior by a boardmember towards the community in the audience.

Baby & Me/Toddler Thursdays, 10-10:30 a.m. Join for a program of rhymes,

My Objectives:• Focus on making our children’s education the primary objective and not petty politics

• Compromise and promote great ideas that will strengthen the district• Promote the kind of open door policy that will allow fresh ideas help make West Geauga Schools great

• Asking the questions to understand what concerns the community has with the future and problem solving to address those concerns by acting fiscally responsible and making the hard choices

I believe in our community, our kids, and our schools. My involvement in the West Geauga School Board is to promote all three.I understand the importance a strong school district has on real estate values and I also know how crucial it is to have a schooldistrict that has the needs of its students as the main goal. I bring the experience of sitting as a councilman for four years, amanager of a real estate office as well as the director of relocation, and having my business degree from Bowling Green, beinga family man and parent, I know firsthand how important schools are to the community, being the father of a United StatesRecon Marine, I also understand and feel for the well-being of all our children. I promise I will do my best for our schools andour children when I am elected!

Once they graduated, theywent down separate careerpaths for a while. Marra, whowas born in Italy and grew up inSouth Euclid, had been sweepingthe floors at the local Alecia’sImports since the age of 13. Atthe ripe age of 19, he opened uphis first pizzeria, Lucia’s. Overthe next 30 some years, heopened up four more restaurantsthroughout Northeast Ohio,including Lucia’s Restaurant &Pizzeria in Chardon, Fiore &Tony’s in Andover, with hisbrother, Fiore & Tony’s 2 inRock Creek and Fiore & Tony’s3 in the old Ashtabula mall. Farinacci, on the other hand,

had a different trajectory sincehe graduated from BrushHighschool in 1975. He finishedhis undergrad with a degree inelectrical engineering, while atthe same time realizing that hewas interested in getting involvedin the television industry. Hestarted off at the Ohio College ofPodiatric Medicine, workingbehind the scenes for all types ofpromotional videos, and thenlanded a gig with Rex Humbard,the well-known Evangelist, edit-ing videos for him as well. Then,after another short stint in pro-duction in Chicago, Farinaccifound himself in Cincinnati for17 years working in post produc-tion services. He then moved upto Indianapolis for seven yearsworking in the video business,until one day he decided he wasready for a change and a newadventure. This past March, Farinacci

10 short years ago…2003/2004West Geauga School District was # 20 in the State.

In 2003/2004 Chagrin Falls School District was #16 in the state.

10 Years Later...and $250 Million Tax Dollars later

Chagrin Falls is a top tier school in the state, repeatedly in the top 10.

West Geauga is #47, what did they do that we did not?What Happened?

What do you want for the next 10 yearsand 250 million dollars for your children

and your community? Did you get your monies worth for a ¼ Billion Dollars?

It’s time for new ideas...not old ones. It’s time for open minded Board Members

to work together. It’s time for the Board to be responsive and accountable.

PLEASE VOTE TO RE-ELECT MIKE JOYCE FOR CHESTER TRUSTEE ON NOVEMBER 5TH.Four years ago, I took up the mantle of leadership as a Chester Township Trustee and found a more difficult challenge than expected. In surpassing these various obstacles against progress, I had to learn the way to improve Chester. However, these efforts led to the successful “turning of the tide”, so to speak. Chester is now a more positive place to live. In the past four years, we have successfully implemented many improvements, such as the beginning of our Green Innovations Leadership of Township assets, Parkside Park’s revitalization and growth, Road Department renovations, the Fire Department modernization, the elimination of the last two dirt roads in Chester, acknowledgement of Hancock Memorial lands and new Fire Department water-recharging pond, the merging of Chester Township Open House with Chesterfest and relocating it to Parkside Park, the overhaul and implementation of the Record Retention Policy, Marilyn Road flood water control project, Chester cemetery expansion project, opening of the 80 acres of land for the community, and working with former Senator Tim Grendell to dedicate a portion of US 322 to honor U.S. Army Chief Warrant Officer Thibodeau. Given the chance to continue in this tradition of strong aspirations and dedicated work for our community, I will be able and willing to bring the ongoing projects into fruition, as well as add to the preservation of our homes.

As a Vietnam-Era veteran of the U.S. Air Force, I fought for and supported my country, even when times were tough. As I once fought to defend our country, I now ask you to allow me to continue to defend the integrity of our Township. I have learned how to persevere and move Chester forward on a positive path. I will face the public challenges so you do not have to.
