Russell Trustees Exploring Heritage Home Program By Ann Wishart The percentage of historic and century homes in Russell Township is high and, often, the cost of maintenance and restoration of those homes can be high as well. With that in mind, township trustees debated last Wednesday the wisdom of signing up the township as a member of the Heritage Home Program, which could help homeowners keep their properties in good condition. Several weeks ago, a representative of the program —
which is operated by the Heritage Home Educational Society, a subsidiary of The Cleveland Restoration Society — attended a trustees meeting. He said a township membership gives homeowners access to technical advice, workshops and loans to get work done on their residences. To qualify for the assistance, a home must be 50 years or older and be in a township that has a membership, he said. Cost of the membership is $2,600.

Auction of 26 Amish-Made Quilts Set for Annual Event By Ann Wishart From therapeutic horseback riding and a Highland pipers program to painting the gym floor, proceeds from the annual Quilt and Craft Auction benefit various spectrums of the diverse Metzenbaum Center. While the beautiful, handstitched quilts and crafts will draw hundreds of buyers to 820 0 Cedar Road in Chester Township on Nov. 2, you can bet folks who travel from Cleveland and other distant points will bring their appetites with them.
“Come for the breakfast, stay for the auction!” the event flier suggests, also listing the hot lunch, refreshments and room full of Amish baked goods for sale. “I always buy pies and take them home and freeze them,” said Patti Gallagher, treasurer of Friends and Families of Metzenbaum Center, which sponsors the auction. The day-long event is a tradition established during the

To provide information about its open enrollment policies and practices, West Geauga Schools administrators are holding a community information night 7 p.m. Oct. 30 in Room 124 at the high school. According to an announcement issued by the school, topics will include long-range planning and enrollment updates and projections. “Following the presentation, there will be an opportunity for questions of the treasurer (Michele Tullai) and me. The format for submission of questions has yet to be determined,” Superintendent Geoff Palmer said. Several residents, including Anita Zurcher, Joe Miller and Mike Spies have called for an open, town hall-style meeting
with school board members since September, after hearing of enlarged class sizes and possible behavior problems due to the addition of students who live in other communities. Spies expressed concern over whether the additional students are costing the district money in terms of more staffing, rather than providing additional revenue, as has been stated by the board. “It’s very disturbing to see core class sizes up to 31 at the elementary schools,” Zurcher said Oct. 17 after receiving information she requested from the school board. Resident Paul Dinato added, “We want to hear from you. It doesn’t help that you don’t want to talk to us. I’m paying $6,000

Salamone Property, Henry House Changes Recommended By Diane Ryder The Henry House is a valuable asset and should be renovated for Chester Township Park Board meetings and township records storage, Park Board members told trustees Thursday. In addition, the park officials discussed options for public access to the township-owned 80 acres, also known as the Salamone farm. Both have become the center of controversy during the last several months, when residents have questioned the wisdom of purchasing them. Park board member Lance Yandell told trustees Thursday his group had gone to former Trustee Pat Mula to find out why trustees closed the 80-acre parcel to public access when they purchased the property 12 years ago for $850,000. “The purpose of the ‘No Trespassing’ signs were well founded and had credence,” to protect the township’s liability until trustees could determine how to convert the property to park use, he said. “That conversation led to us pursuing where to start,” Yandell said. “And that led us to quite a journey and perhaps a can of worms.”

Chestet Township Park Board members Joe Weiss (front), Lance Yandell and Peg Vitale show residents new signs that will be erected on the township's 80-acre parcel in the north end of the township. Trustees plan to turn the land into a park.
Assessing 80-Acre Parcel Park board members met with officials from the township fire, police and road departments, members of the Western Reserve Land Conservancy, representatives of the township’s insurance company, All Ways Flasher sign company and Aqua Doc pond specialists to analyze the property’s attributes and liabilities, he said. The board also had discussions with representatives of the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, the Ohio Fish and Wildlife Commission and the Geauga County Prosecutor’s
Office about how to open the land to the public without exposing the township to potential liability if someone would get injured on the property. “Our recommendation is to open it to the public and remove the ‘Keep Out’ signs,” Yandell told trustees. “The pond should be stocked and we need to better identify the property.” He recommended it be named either North Park or Park North. “It will mean more to the public when it has a name,” he said.

Quilts from page 1 1980’s to provide supplemental funding for projects and programs for the developmentally disabled Metzenbaum clients, said Amish committee member Freeman Miller of Middlefield. The original idea was to have the women from each church make a quilt each year to auction off, but after a couple of years, the community decided to split the chore, he said.
“Some people bring quilts the day of the auction.” - Patti Gallagher Now, about half the churches make quilts and the other half bakes for the event. This year, women from the churches north of state Route 87 are baking and those south of Route 87 are stitching quilts, Miller said. Next year they will switch.
So far, 26 quilts have been promised, mostly for double and queen-sized beds, but more could arrive, Miller said. “Some people bring quilts the day of the auction,” Gallagher said. Betty Miller presented a list of the quilts with well-known patterns such as Star of Bethlehem and Trip Around the World. Less common is the Feather Heart with Doves. “These are one-of-a-kind gifts,” her husband said. While the patterns have been handed down for generations, the combinations of colors and fabrics make each quilt unique. Auctioneers Pete Howes, Crist Miller and Owen Miller donate their time and skills in the center auditorium to be sure the quilts, furniture, handcrafted toys, wreathes, Amish rockers and variety of items bring the best price to help support Metzenbaum. Geauga Meats in Troy Township always donates two quarters of beef for the auction, too, Miller said. Another room at the center will be turned into a holiday shop full of hand-made items, and the hallway will be lined with baskets

and such donations to be sold during the silent auction and Chinese raffle, Gallagher said. Hundreds of visitors are expected to enjoy lunch including clam chowder, pizza and other donated entrees as well as homemade pies, Betty Miller said. “Lots of folks come to the auction to eat,” she said, adding they also clean out the room full of baked good. “There’s everything in that bake sale,” Gallagher said. The week before the Quilt and Craft Auction, Amish kitchens will be extra busy as pies, cakes, breads and other goodies are prepared. Because there are so many women doing the baking, it is not too big a chore, Betty Miller said. Gallagher’s team collects the goods by the car-full just before the auction and takes them to the center, she said. It adds up to a car load from each church district, with 40

districts on the south side and 30 on the north side. “It’s a great group of people. We can’t do it without each other,” she said of the dozen or so core members as well as the 40 or 50 volunteers who handle sales, serve food and clean up the center.
“Most volunteers come back every year,” Betty added. When the doors to the baked goods room open, there is a rush for the favorite items. “I think the pies and breads go first,” Gallagher said. “There’s everything in that bake sale. It’s a lot of work.” The quilt and craft auction continues to evolve. This year, the committee will be selling raffle tickets for an Amish Wedding Dinner for 15 people at the home of Rachel Yoder on Patch Road, Gallagher said. Tickets will be $5 each or six for $20.
Heritage from page 1 Trustee Jim Dickinson said he talked to two residents who read about the program in the Geauga County Maple Leaf and feel the money would be well spent. “People are interested. They would like us to look into it,” Trustee Justin Madden said. He proposed taking a postcard poll of homeowners in the township to find out how many would take advantage of the services the program offers. The Heritage Home Program has member communities on both sides of Cleveland, but none in Geauga County, yet. “They want to get their foot in the door,” said Fiscal Officer Chuck Walder. The representative said the cost to the member community depends on several factors including property values. The program also has connections to contractors who are used to renovating or adding on to older homes without ruining their historic appearance, he said. Another benefit to the program would be that fixing up one home in a neighborhood adds value to nearby properties, Madden said. Dickinson said he lives in an older home and can see the usefulness of the program. Just having access to reliable skilled craftsmen could make the investment worthwhile, he said. He directed the trustees secretary to send out an email blast on the matter, put the question out on the township website and include it in the newsletter.

West G BOE from page 1 in taxes to this school. I could buy a house in South Euclid for $10,000 and send my kids here. Why not merge with a school district close to us?” About 50 people attended the Oct. 14 school board meeting, many of them hoping to hear answers from board members about open enrollment and other issues, including 90minute bus rides for elementary school students to travel five miles home from St. Anselm School. The meeting became contentious when the board voted 3-2 against holding a town hall meeting with residents. Board members Michael Kilroy and Jackie Dottore voted in favor of the meeting. Board President Bill Beers and member Ben Kotowski voted against it, indicating such a meeting held before the
Henry House from page 1
ATVs to be Warned Off Yandell held up a sign he said should be in place to warn residents motorized vehicles such as ATVs will not be allowed on the property. The WRLC letter to trustees early this year notified them the township was in violation of the conservation agreement because the agency had found evidence of ATV use on the property. Trustee Mike Joyce said the signs would be posted as a way to warn the public they were using the land at their own risk until the trustees decide how to convert the land to a park. Joyce had made a successful motion last month to open the land to public use. “Once these signs are up, we’ll take down the ‘No Trespassing’ signs so our liability is covered and the public can use it,” Joyce said. Park board member Joe Weiss said the board met with the prosecutor and visited other township parks to get ideas for how best to use the 80 acres. About 27 acres are useable for ball fields and other activities. The remainder — mostly woods and wetlands — are in a permanent conservation easement agreement with the WRLC, Joyce said. The zoning commission has been defining active and passive parks, but zoning commission member Linda Gifford said they are waiting for the land to be surveyed before presenting their proposal to trustees.
Henry House Repairs Doable Yandell also talked about the Henry House, which the trustees purchased in 2009 for $110,000 for storage and as a headquarters for the park board. Several residents immediately questioned the need for the building and its cost. Trustees put the project on the back burner for the last

general election on Nov. 5 could be construed as political. Member Sally Gillmore also voted against it without making a comment. Beers and Gillmore are on the ballot for re-election to the board. Dottore argued that holding the meeting would “allow people to ask questions and not create a battle back and forth between the public and the board.” Kotowski said he answered questions via email to Zurcher and others. “People don’t want to understand,” Kotowski said at the public meeting. “I explained it to my 16-year-old daughter and she got it. It’s like Barney Frank said, ‘Talking to you is like talking to my dining room table.’” Outraged, Zurcher and several others walked out of the meeting. Kilroy later apologized to the group on behalf of the board in an email to the group.
Zurcher thanked him and said, “I may be as dumb as a table in Mr. Kotowski’s opinion, but I am pretty sure that not all West Geauga residents were in attendance during the past two board meetings and they are not on these emails. If you think open enrollment, in its current state, is such as great idea, why would you not want to have an open forum to get the facts out?” Kotowski later apologized by email stating he used “a variation of a famous line uttered by Massachusetts Rep. Barney Frank.” “I did not mean to suggest that anyone in attendance was stupid and the comment was not addressed to any individual,” he said. “Every person attending board meetings deserves to be treated with courtesy by the board.” The next school board meeting is scheduled for 7 p.m. Oct. 28 in the Middle School Community Room, 8611 Cedar Road.
three years. Last winter, the house suffered some interior damage from water pipes that froze and burst. Yandell said Geauga County’s building inspector and several construction experts, concluded the building can be easily repaired. “All of these people were profoundly articulate,” Yandell said. “The building is in rather good condition. Taking it down is really not an option.” The building needs minor repairs to drywall, plumbing and a support beam as well as some painting and cleaning up, he said. “We suggest you consider repairing the main floor,” he said. “The upstairs and the downstairs could be used for storage and is dry.” Modifications are necessary to meet Americans With Disabilities Act standards. “The road department and the township hall are in desperate need of storage,” Yandell said, adding that park board members have been storing records in their homes.
point, when we heard about (the damage), we all thought it should come down. I’m guilty of it, you’re guilty of it — thinking that based on the rumors, it had to go.” Road Department Superintendent Rob Pealer said his crew can paint the inside of the Henry 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 meet with the architect to share ideas on how to design the renovations for the best use. “I, like Lance, had no opinion about the house till I went in there,” Weiss told trustees. “I was very pleased with what I saw. It’s very useable.” It has a good well and septic system, a 20 02 furnace, good roof and windows, and a great location adjacent to the park and near the township hall.
Property was ‘A Steal’ Trustee Judy Caputo asked the park board members whether they thought the property is worth the $110,000 purchase price. “I’ve taken a lot of criticism over my decision two years ago to purchase the Henry House,” Caputo said, asking Yandell whether the building experts had told him what the house was 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. When the plans are ready, the township could get estimates for the restoration work and advertise for bids. “I was amazed and excited that they all were adamant about the building being restored,” he told trustees. The rumor mill exaggerated the extent of damage to the house. “I became a victim of rumors,” Yandell said. “At one

Township Campus “This will be Chester’s one big campus,” Weiss said. “I’m proud of it, but it’s extremely important to bring these things together to create a campus.” A room in the house may have been used as the township’s first post office, giving the house historic significance, Joyce said. Trustee Ken Radtke, who has questioned the township’s lack of decision about the building’s future, criticized the other two trustees for keeping him out of the planning process. “The issue is a level above (what is being discussed),” Radtke said. “I voted against the 2013 budget and the 2014 budget because it included $15,000 for the Henry House without public discussion.” Radtke repeated a complaint he has aired previously, accusing Caputo of acting individually to ask Yandell to study the building, but said he is happy the project is on the front burner. “I’m glad to see we’re moving forward and I hope to involve the entire community in the process,” Radtke said.

Chester Seeks Fire Levy Renewal By Diane Ryder Voters in Chester Township will be asked to decide on a 0.8mill fire levy renewal on the Nov. 5 ballot. If passed, the levy will continue to bring in about $171,000 per year and cost the owner of a $100,000 property $15. The levy was first passed in 1993, said Fire Chief John Wargelin. “We try to provide the township with the most bang for the buck,” Wargelin said. The department has one full-time employee, about 33 part-time employees and a budget of about $1.4 million per year, he said. The department answers roughly 1,20 0 calls annually, with about 80 percent for emergency rescue, the chief said. Billing insurance companies for ambulance transports brings in about $200,000 every year, which Wargelin said is a main reason the township has been able to function within a tight budget as demand for services goes up every year.
“Everything costs more. We have an aging structure that needed a new HVAC system this year and we needed repairs to our hose tower,” Wargelin said. “We’ve tried to do everything we can to keep costs down because we know this is not a good time to ask for additional money. We have a lot of seniors on fixed incomes in our community.” When township trustees approved placing the issue on the ballot, Trustee Judy Caputo said she favored asking for a renewal rather than additional funding. “I feel more comfortable with a renewal because we know we can’t live without it,” Caputo said at that meeting, adding trustees have not asked for additional money since 2005, the year before she took office. Wargelin said the department keeps costs down by hiring part-time employees — who are not paid health care or retirement benefits — sharing equipment with other departments whenever possible, maintaining equipment to increase

their life expectancy and applying for grants. “Fire departments work well in that respect,” Wargelin said. “We all rely on each other and it works very well for all communities.” He said voters have traditionally supported fire levies at a rate of about 75 percent. “Our taxpayers have been very supportive and we’re very grateful,” the chief said. “We’re the good guys; we don’t issue tickets.”

Longtime owners Al and Kathy Fuldauer, who recently moved away from Chester Township, would maintain the sign and run power to it from their house nearby. Al Fuldauer would hang lights or season-appropriate decorations, and the Browns helmet was his last gift to the subdivision before he moved away, said Parker Drive resident Sue Geither.

L etters to the Editor Septic Tank Law We moved here 15 years ago because of the great West Geauga Schools. Now, we are finding it hard to move out of Geauga County because we are going to lose our shirt, dishing out the money to install the new septic tank or lowering the price of our home, so that the new owners can install the new aerated septic tank within the first year of ownership. It only makes sense that local enrollment is going to decline and open enrollment of those who live on the outskirts of Geauga County, is going to increase. People are going to use open enrollment because they cannot afford Geauga County’s increased cost of homes, due to the septic tank law. Had we known this was going to happen, I do not believe we would have purchased a house in Geauga County. When will we get the opportunity to overturn this foolish waste of everyone’s money? Connie Cumpson Chester Township
Time for a Change I am writing to support Dr. Tom Phelps and Dan Thoreson for West Geauga School Board. I have lived in this town for years and see marked improvement since we elected new board members six years ago. For the first time in years, we have balanced budgets, new technology and the district stopped its dangerous slide in the state rankings. I may not always agree with board members’ style, but I think new people bring new ideas, new perspectives and reduce all the silly politics. Silly politics never helped a child’s education. So, I am all for giving new people a chance to continue helping the improvements that started six years ago. Vote Phelps and Thoreson. Time for a change. Time to give new ideas a chance.
the editor
Move Forward, Not Backward I’m writing in support of candidates Dr. Thomas Phelps and Mr. Dan Thoreson, both running for seats on the West Geauga School Board. Each candidate is highly qualified. Each is a long-term resident with children who have attended West Geauga Schools. Their careers bring them in daily contact with the community. Operating medical practices and real estate offices requires both an eye towards finance as well as the needs of patients and families. They represent our health and our homes. Please remember that it was only a few years ago the district was in financial turmoil. Endless votes resulting in two emergency levies. Citizens carrying signs marching at the town center. The proposed solution was the Earned Income Tax. The claim was that the district absolutely needed to spend $29 million dollars per year in 2010. We wisely defeated the tax by an 80/20 margin. That was the first of many votes where we reined in spending and pumped new blood into the school board. The result? In 2012, spending was $24.8 million dollars and the district has maintained an excellent rating. The board members running for re-election now supported the income tax then. They supported the levies and budgets that have turned out to be grossly in error. A competent and independent board is our best defense again simply rubber-stamping the wishes and whims of superintendents that come and go while we pick up the tab. Adding Dr. Phelps and Mr. Thoreson to the board will help solidify the gains we have worked so hard to achieve. Please join me in voting for them on Nov. 5. Let’s move forward, not backward.

Business Sense Linda O’Brien is a candidate for Russell township trustee. In the past 10 years, I have known and worked with Linda on issues affecting the preservation of the unique lifestyle Geauga County residents cherish and hold dear. As a 22-year resident of Russell Township who passionately enjoys the benefits of living in the country with her horses, protecting and maintaining that lifestyle for her family and for future generations is a critical concern for Linda. She is aware of the adverse effects big government has upon communities and is dedicated to keeping Columbus and Washington bureaucrats out of the business of Russell Township. As the owner of her own business and as a consultant for Fortune 100 companies, private equity investments and the U.S. Department of Defense, she brings to any issue her experience as a no-nonsense, fiscally conservative leader. She is determined to halt what have been continual property tax increases by implementing best business practices. She is educationally well prepared for office, having earned a B.S. in Psychology from Ursuline College and an M.S. in Organizational Development and Analysis from Case Western Reserve University. Linda has served as a trustee of

Too often, we must vote for candidates without any real knowledge of them. Therefore, I’ll speak about Mike Joyce, a trustee up for reelection. He has a rare and strong sense of ethics and morality. So, to provide a true look into the person, I’ll share about who Mike Joyce, my father, really is. Younger, I was captivated by stories about him for the strength of character they exhibited. For example, during a tour in the Philippines (Vietnam Era), he witnessed harsh inequities dealt to children. They begged for money to give fathers who bought alcohol with it. Seeing this, he started buying palettes of meats and sitting with them near the children. When they approached, asking whether he would eat all that food, he replied that, no, he needed help. Naturally, offers were given. Mike Joyce cared for perfect strangers because he saw the need and knew he could help. This is the person he has always been and continues to be.

Also, Mike and Diane Joyce were foster parents to at least 14 troubled youngsters. Opening their home to others was always their way. Their support and defense of these children was so complete that, in one especially difficult situation, they rallied for and won the right to adopt a foster child. Their battles in her defense gave me a sister. They adopted a total of three children into our family and by my birth, had pieced together a family of loving siblings for me to grow with. That family, plus our later-born brother, remains the most loyal group 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 himself through college to achieve his MBA from Lake Erie even as he worked full-time. Growing up, we came to recognize the value of his dedication when an insecure economy saw him juggling multiple jobs. Throughout all, he was a present, patient father who always found time for special activities. Our home was and is filled with laughter, love, learning and loyalty. Mike Joyce is a person capable of balancing the important things without losing the meaningful, vital content. As we grew, so did his absolute commitment to Chester Township. Whether through his volunteer work (Kiwanis), his educational work (Suburban) or his political work (zoning inspector, 12 years; elections marshall, 15 years; trustee, four years) Mike Joyce has dedicated himself to the ethical and equitable treatment of others. He values Chester laws and ways highly and thinks continuously of what the people want and need. Previously, we alone were Mike Joyce’s family, but the hours of work and tireless effort he invests to maintain the ethics and integrity of Chester require an altered view. For Mike Joyce, his family is the group of people he tirelessly fights to defend from those who would harm them. I therefore welcome you all into the family. Karen Joyce-Gruenewald Chester Township
Stop the Madness I believe Chester Township is ready for a change in government. We have the opportunity to make a change by voting in the Nov. 5 election. On that day, we can use our votes to stop the madness 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 that has actively participated in volunteer activities to support our community. He began the recycling program, helped create the community disaster plan and served on the West Geauga Recreation Council and the West Geauga Education Foundation. Bud is an engineer that has been involved in various aspects
of business that includes the creation and execution of strategic plans. He’s a global thinker and doer, allowing him to look towards and plan for the future while being a good steward of the present. Bud is also a learner. In preparation for this election, Bud has been studying Ohio Township Trustee governance standards. He’s been actively seeking information on how the state guides townships and he’s been attending our trustee meetings to hear what the community has to say. Combining a proven commitment to our community through countless hours of volunteerism and his business experience, Bud will serve our community well. Help me stop the madness by voting for Ward L. “Bud Kinney on Nov. 5. Susan Kruger Chester Township
When OE Makes Sense In a recent letter to the editor, Ben Kotowski informs us that open enrollment brings in "over $1.2 million in state money that keep our taxes lower." Anthony Kosley asks in his letter, "Where is the other $5,300 coming from?" As Mr. Kosley informs us, the district receives $5,70 0 per student from the state, while the average cost per student is $11,000. The concerned Mr. Kosley is clearly confused, as he is asking the wrong question. In regards to the financial impact on taxpayers, what counts is the total cost for running the school district and the cost of adding a student, not the current average cost per student. Perhaps we can liken adding a student to the district like adding a rider to a car pool. If you have two people in a car on a commute that costs $20, the average cost is $10 per person. Adding another person does not add the full $10 average cost to the ride. Rather, adding a person to the car reduces the average cost, and, if the added person contributes enough toward the commute, the other members of the car pool benefit. Now I am quite sure the over $1.2 million from open enrollment is not all profit for West Geauga, as I would think there must be some cost to add a student. But to the extent adding open enrollment students and state money is like adding members to a carpool, we can see that it might actually reduce the total cost to local taxpayers. Rather than getting hung up on the average cost per student, we should look at the total cost to local taxpayers for running the district without any open enrollment compared to the total cost to local taxpayers at various levels of open enrollment (especially the current level). In that manner we could identify what levels of open enrollment make finacial sense. Duane Kurapka Chester Township

Your brain should be focused on the Bombers from Kenston now; either that or you should be dreaming about a condo on the beach at sunset.

To the Condo! Focus Triv, focus….

Fight a little harder and punch doubt in the face, and if doubt is still standing, punch it again!

The Wolverines had four shots to trim the lead to two, and on fourth and goal from the two Krouse muscled in behind his big ole offensive line; 22- 20 and this is it, one more play to play on!
It wasn’t to be though. Krouse got tripped up on his way to what appeared to be a for sure two points and a tie game. Understandable hurt was obvious as the agony of defeat set in; nothing wrong with that, fellas! That’s just your “Give a Damn” seeping thru. Now I know you probably felt like you were on life support Saturday morning, like maybe the whole world just came to an end. Didn’t though, did it? Stay up and stay focused on the prize, Wolverines; an invite to the week 11 dance! Oh, and occasional mental of that condo on the beach never hurts...To the Condo! 55+ :*1 ,48954

Re-Purpose, Don’t Sell Your Gold Selling gold jewelry to get a few extra bucks based on scrap value is not always the best available option. “We specialize in recycling old gold to create something wearable, something to enjoy, an heirloom to treasure,“ said Mark Saric of Prestige Jewels, Inc. in Chester Township. A ring or bracelet that is no longer worn, a gold watch that was passed down or earrings that no longer fit tastes and trends can be converted into something modern and desirable. “Today many folks prefer to have a statement piece or a few favorite items, while others simply want to clear out clutter, and combining accumulated pieces is a great way to retain value,” Saric said. If going custom is not desired, consider a trade, especially to an updated look and hope to exchange yellow for white or rose gold jewelry. Another option is to use odds and ends to offset the cost of necessary repairs. “A customer may have a ring that has been exposed to wear and tear and it makes sense to offset labor and material 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 who made it for you — so don’t just sell it for cash, unless you really have to. Make sure to tell your story. Visit Prestige Jewels, 12660 West Geauga Plaza, Chester Township, or call Saric, 440-7298325.
The feet are remarkably complex structures, but this complexity makes them vulnerable to the constant stress they endure. Such stress often damages them and leads to aches and ailments throughout the body. Fortunately, high quality orthotics provide an effective solution to many of these problems. Orthotics are custom fitted inserts placed on the soles of footwear. They provide support, distribute corrective pressure and realign joints in the feet. “Properly designed orthotics provide many of my patients with natural, lasting and affordable relief for many ailments, including foot, leg and back pain, Achilles tendonitis, shin splints and more,” said Ramona. The Pro-Activities owner has practiced physical therapy for more than 20 years and recognizes the complexity of orthotics science. This is why he underwent special training to acquire the expertise to offer state-of-theart orthotics for his patients. He does so in the comfort of the Pro-Activities office.

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 Board meeting to try to find out information about open enrollment. What followed was embarrassing, insulting and too far out of line for elected officials. It was a joke of a meeting. When asked to have a community meeting Mr. Beers and Sally Gilmore voted against it. What do they have to hide? Then Mr. Kotowski made the comment that 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 apologize on behalf of the board for what was clearly unacceptable behavior by a board member towards the community in the audience.

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 school district that has the needs of its students as the main goal. I bring the experience of sitting as a councilman for four years, a manager of a real estate office as well as the director of relocation, and having my business degree from Bowling Green, being a family man and parent, I know firsthand how important schools are to the community, being the father of a United States Recon Marine, I also understand and feel for the well-being of all our children. I promise I will do my best for our schools and our children when I am elected! #& ,

dreamt of doing. Marra jumped on board immediately and began the search of the perfect place, until one day, his brother Al called him to let him know of a vacancy in a building he owned in Chester Township. Over the next six months, Marra and Farinacci, along with their wives MaryAnn Marra and Beth Farinacci, began setting up shop until opening day. Farinacci’s son, Jim, handles the marketing and advertising and Piasano’s now has a Facebook page. “If you’re looking for great home-style, ‘stick to your ribs’ food, just like the little old Italian lady in your neighborhood used to cook, this is the perfect place for you, your friends and your family,” says Farinacci. “We love to bake pizza and we do it well. Plus, everything is homemade from scratch,” adds Marra. Piasano’s, which translates to “buddies” in Italian, has a menu that would make any customer salivate, including specialty items such as MaryAnn Marra’s homemade meatball sub sandwich, the signature “Big Piasano”, which includes pepperonis, Italian sausage, green peppers, caramelized onions, mushrooms, black olives and provolone cheese, and the ever popular “Mount Vesuvius”, ready to erupt with everything but the kitchen sink. Piasano’s is open 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Monday- Thursdays, 11 a.m. to midnight Friday and Saturdays and 4-1 p.m. Sunday. It’s a great spot for lunch, as well as the perfect late night snack option and college students receive five percent of their purchase if they show their student ID.

Once they graduated, they went down separate career paths for a while. Marra, who was born in Italy and grew up in South Euclid, had been sweeping the floors at the local Alecia’s Imports since the age of 13. At the ripe age of 19, he opened up his first pizzeria, Lucia’s. Over the next 30 some years, he opened up four more restaurants throughout Northeast Ohio, including Lucia’s Restaurant & Pizzeria in Chardon, Fiore & Tony’s in Andover, with his brother, Fiore & Tony’s 2 in Rock Creek and Fiore & Tony’s 3 in the old Ashtabula mall. Farinacci, on the other hand, had a different trajectory since he graduated from Brush Highschool in 1975. He finished his undergrad with a degree in electrical engineering, while at the same time realizing that he was interested in getting involved in the television industry. He started off at the Ohio College of Podiatric Medicine, working behind the scenes for all types of promotional videos, and then landed a gig with Rex Humbard, the well-known Evangelist, editing videos for him as well. Then, after another short stint in production in Chicago, Farinacci found himself in Cincinnati for 17 years working in post production services. He then moved up to Indianapolis for seven years working in the video business, until one day he decided he was ready for a change and a new adventure. This past March, Farinacci called up Marra and proposed the idea of opening up a family run pizzeria back in Northeast Ohio, something he had always

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. PAID FOR BY COMMITTEE TO ELECT MIKE JOYCE TRUSTEE, KAREN M. JOYCE, TREASURER
