Salad Days and Inspiring Luncheons In September 1979, the Cleveland Browns started off 4- 0, beating the New York Jets, the Kansas Chiefs, the Balti- more Colts and the Dallas Cow- boys. Those were the salad days of the “Kardiac Kids” era, in which his aggressive offense helped win games in both the 1979 and 1980 seasons in the final two minutes of play, according to TheKardiacKids.com website, run by placekicker Don Cockroft. Those were also luncheon days in Cleveland, the days of planning for a series that would bring various speakers to East Side parishes. The week after Cockroft kicked his team to a last-second 25-22 win over the New York Jets, Breadth of Life was born. A consortium of local priests, headed by Our Lady of Mount Carmel Pastor Ernest Hepner, founded the luncheon series as a way to educate the laity, Bowers said. “The name Breadth of Life was chosen because it indicates an effort to share broad strokes — breadth — as well as aware- ness — food for thought, like bread — with the community,” she added. “The goal is to inspire a desire and understand- ing of issues presented by the speakers.” Past speakers have included Sharon Hargrove, the wife of former Cleveland Indians Manager Mike Hargrove, and newscaster Ted Henry.

Several times, the director of the Cleveland State University Maxine Goodman Levin College of Urban Affairs tried to get it to stand up, creaking and crackling in the process. But that was the only problem Hexter encountered while updat- ing 80 Russell Township residents about recent land survey use results last Thursday at the town- ship hall. Hexter — along with College of Urban Affairs Project Coordinator Molly Schnoke and Russell Township Zoning Com- mission Chairman Rich Snyder — said while the township is not perfect, residents generally do not have problems with the current way of life in the township. The survey, administered by Cleveland State last October with input from the Russell Township Zoning Commission, revealed residents like the current way of life in the township and feel posi- tive about air quality, open space and park use. The only problem area dis- cussed by the survey’s 612 respon- dents centered on oil and gas well drilling issues, Hexter said. “The decisions you make today will guide the township over the next 20 years,” Hexter said. Trustee Jim Mueller said the average resident is pleased with where Russell Township is today. “They love the lifestyle and they like what they see,” he said. “We’re trying to keep things the way they are.” Last fall, the zoning commis- sion sent the 12-page, 65-question surveys out to homeowners. The surveys follow a similar format to a survey sent out in 1994 and uses both multiple- choice and open-ended questions, Hexter said. In some cases in Ohio, town- ships utilize surveys and poll resi- dents in order to update their land use plans. Zoning commissions use land use plans to help regulate develop- ment of the township, Snyder said. “In the 1950s and 1960s, Mentor was the fastest growing city in the United States,” he added. “Russell Township at that time was projected to have a final population total of about 30,000 residents. However, thanks to our large-lot zoning regulations, we’re at about 5,100 (residents).” Snyder said both case law and the Ohio Revised Code are also important tools townships use while developing zoning resolu- tions and related plans.

Everything from selling the township office building and the property it is on to reducing elected officials’ pay by 10 per- cent was on the table.

Inside millage is the millage each municipality is entitled that is not subject to a levy approved by its residents.

On Wednesday, trustees noted their general fund receives 0.75 mills, the road and bridge fund receives 2.10 mills and the township park district receives 0.15 mills. Fiscal Officer Chuck Walder recommended the trustees shift the inside millage around so the general fund receives 2 mills and the road and bridge fund receive 1 mill, but Dickinson was opposed to taking the full 0.15 mills from the park district. “We can’t just pull the plug,” he said, adding at least not until trustees meet with the park commission to discuss the situa- tion. Mueller said the commission should present its budget to the trustees, perhaps in July. The situation has been brew- ing for several years. The state government, in an effort to bal- ance its budget, has gradually decreased the intergovernmen- tal tax money formerly sent to the townships. In Russell, the funds went from more than $109,000 in 2007 to just over $39,000 in 2013. Following the trend, Walder foresees the amount coming to the township in 2014 to be about $28,000, he said at the June 5 meeting. Along with the elimination of the estate tax, which was usu- ally good for several hundred thousand dollars a year, the township is headed toward a financial crunch in 2015. He urged trustees to take action with the 2014 budget. “The general fund is starved right now,” he said.

In past years, much of themoney for road work has comefrom the general fund, so anadditional road and bridge levywas not necessary.However, the trustees can

ask the voters for another roadand bridge levy to secure oper-ating funds for that department,but they cannot put a generalfund levy on the ballot. Themain source of income for thegeneral fund is inside millage.The third possibility would

be to place the maintenancedepartment under the roaddepartment, so its operationsand two personnel can be sup-ported by funds from a roadlevy.

Dickinson said a plan needsto be developed working withboth departments to consoli-date.“They need time to make

the transition,” Walder said,adding perhaps it could beaccomplished by the end of theyear, starting with an inventoryof all the equipment and sup-plies at both the garage and themaintenance department. He said Maintenance Super-

intendent Jack Gallagher is notopposed to the idea.The main-tenance building could then besold or leased. Dickinson said he would

support putting the administra-tion building and acreage up forsale and moving the officesback to the old town hall. Mueller said the building

doesn’t cost the township much

because of rent collected fromtwo renters in the building.Trustees and Walder also

discussed the road renewal levyfor tax year 2013 and the possi-bility of putting a new continu-ous road levy on the ballot tomake up for the general fundsubsidy.Although the township is

facing fiscal issues by 2015,trustees didn’t take any actionon the 19 possible changes thatcould save the township somemoney. Trustee Justin Madden was

out of town and couldn’t attendthe special meeting. Walder andtrustees indicated the discussionwas more of a taste of whatcould be coming down the road.“These are all spitballs,”

Walder said.

septic systems, parks and recre-ation, historic preservation andthe role of in-law suites in a hous-ing context.During the 80-minute presen-

tation, Hexter, Schnoke andSnyder said 2,205 surveys weremailed last fall, with 612 respons-es, or a 29-percent response rate,which they called “great.” Most of the respondents were

older males with a median age of62. Ninety-eight percent werehomeowners and 87 percent ofthem planned to stay in the town-ship for more than five years.More than half moved to RussellTownship from another commu-nity in Ohio.One of the more interesting

findings of the study was thatdespite Russell Township havingthe highest percentage of elderlyresidents in the county, many still

preferred single-family housingand not specialized senior hous-ing, Schnoke said.“It was surprising. An increase

in age did not result in an increasein support for retirement commu-nities,” she added. Several residents voiced con-

cerns about oil and gas welldrilling affecting well water in thetownship, but Snyder said injec-tion wells discussed by residentsare too far away from the town-ship’s aquifer to impact it. Although the township’s regu-

latory powers were removed in2004 after the passage of OhioHouse Bill 275 — allowing oiland gas well drillers to be regulat-ed by the Ohio Department ofNatural Resources and not town-ship zoning commissions — thetownship’s geology rendersdrilling ineffective in the area,Snyder said.The survey is part of a bigger

project involving regional plan-ning. Its data has been compiled

and disseminated, but the nextstep will include establishingregional relationships with plan-ners, he said.Then the findings will be pre-

sented to Geauga CountyPlanning Commission DirectorDavid C. Dietrich. Dietrich will then review the

material and make recommenda-tions to trustees. The use of Dietrich as a final

consultant in the process savesthe township an estimated$60,000 to $70,000, unlike in 1994,when it used a consulting firmfrom Pittsburgh. This process willtake a few years, Snyder said.Details from the survey will

be available on the township’swebsite.Board of Zoning Appeals

President Steve Gokorsch saidthe survey was critical to thefuture of the township.“The survey gives the town-

ship’s zoning plan its direction.We wanted to make sure every-one was heard,” Gokorsch said.

After stints with four NFLteams, Cleveland Browns ownerArt Modell named him headcoach in 1977.Over the next few years, the

team’s exciting victories culmi-nated with the 1980 AmericanFootball Conference’s CentralDivision title and an 11-5record. Rutigliano won 1980Coach of the Year honors,according to the ClevelandBrowns website.Last week, Rutigliano traded

in coaching for inspiration, firstwith a story about GlenvilleHigh School alum Calvin Hines,whom he mentored years ago. When Rutigliano took a

position with Liberty Universityin 1988, he brought along Hines,who became his manager. Hesaid Hines matured greatly as aresult of reaching out to him.“Kids do not care how much

you know, until they know youcare,” he said.He stressed the importance

of leadership, accountabilityand communication. Rutiglianosaid most communication isnon-verbal.“Life’s not measured by

what we do, but what we do forothers,” Rutigliano said. The coach also talked about

the 1962 death of his daughter,Nancy, who passed away in anautomobile accident. After

stopping to get breakfast inNew Hampshire, the familydrove on. Rutigliano said he fell asleep

at the wheel, flipping the car.Nancy was found under theright rear wheel, dead. Over time, the family turned

toward God, he said.“A pastor told me, ‘Faith is

the assurance of things youhope for and the certainty ofthings you can’t see,’” Rutig-liano said. “So I accepted JesusChrist as my savior.”

‘Sam is What theCleveland Browns Need’Brian Sipe. Ozzie Newsome.

Calvin Hill.The names brought back

memories, the crowd soaking itup. Or, rather, Siping it up.Rutigliano told them how

Sipe, a late-round draft pick,blossomed into a premier quar-terback. Despite then-GeneralManager Pete Hadhazy tellinghim otherwise, Sipe was a win-ner with the Browns, he said.In 1977, New England

Patriots receiver Reggie Rucker,traded to Cleveland in 1974,told Modell about a Patriotsassistant named Rutiglianowhile the owner searched for areplacement for then-coachForrest Gregg.“He told Art, ‘Sam is what

the Cleveland Browns need,’”the coach said.

Coaching created instabilityin family life. Rutigliano’s fami-ly moved 19 times and placedtheir children in 23 differentschools over his coachingcareer. Barb, his wife, has stoodby him for 53 years, he said.Divorce? Not an option.“Murder maybe, but never

divorce. I mean she would havekilled me, not the other wayaround,” he said.Rutigliano also said today’s

Browns can win seven to eightgames, depending on quarter-back Brandon Weeden’s devel-opment.St. Anselm Church parish-

ioner Barb Stebic said the talkinspired her.“There was much I took

away from his talk. It was mov-ing and it made me think,”Stebic said. “And I love theBrowns.”Afterwards, Bowers reflect-

ed on her own Browns moments.The Mayfield Heights residentsaid Kardiac Kids fever sweptthe nation, not just Cleveland.“I was in Cape Canaveral,

visiting the NASA KennedySpace Center with my son,” shesaid. “He had on a ‘KardiacKids’ T-shirt and someone cameup to him. The person asked,‘Are you from Cleveland?’“It’s good for us to remem-

ber our past, to cherish it and toembrace it.”For more information about
