West G Changes OE Guidelines By Gwen Cooper Open enrollment of students who live outside of West Geauga Schools will be cut from the current number of 239 students to 205 in the 2014-2015 school year. After months of hearing from segments of the public and weeks before a statistically valid survey of the public is completed, the West Geauga Schools Board of Education voted 4-1 on the matter Monday night. The vote came just 10 minutes into the discussion after board member Jackie Dottore presented a spreadsheet of proposed enrollment numbers she compiled and had emailed to the board earlier that day. Ben Kotowski voted against the resolution. “I was completely shut out of the discussion,” Kotowski said regarding responding to public comments. “The board chairman, Michael Kilroy, let every other member speak, but me. I asked him if we didn’t follow Robert’s Rules of Order and he again brushed me off.” In 2013, the district’s open enrollment guidelines were changed to include the board’s right to decide grade size “as necessary in cases of unusually low resident enrollment at a grade level(s).”
GWEN COOPER/CN
Former West Geauga school board member Bill Beers shared a chart he compiled last year that shows a 10- year decline in the resident student population from 2,600 in 2003 to about 1,900 in 2013. The upper line shows a buffer with open enrollment students. GWEN COOPER/CN
Colleen Crawford, of Moreland HIlls, said open enrollment has improved the district’s state report card and has kept the finances in the black. She is a West Geauga graduate and has a child attending the school.
So, the board was able to change the district's open enrollment guidelines with a resolution, Kilroy said, as opposed to following written procedures for changing district policies, which would require several readings spread out over several meetings. Chris Yaecker, a Newbury parent of a 10th-grade open enrollment student, questioned whether or not the board violated Ohio’s Sunshine Laws. “This is sheer incompetence,” he said. “There appeared to have been a mutual decision made prior to the discussion
among board members, which is possibly illegal. Or they decided on arbitrary numbers on a handout, seemingly without taking into account class scheduling, available teachers and the budget.” Shortly after the public meeting began and prior to the open enrollment discussion, the board met in executive session, again breaking a long-standing practice of holding those private meetings after the major business of the open meeting is concluded.

Members of the Reverse Raffle committee gathered at Ranchos Los Alazanes last Wednesday evening to plan the raffle, including West Geauga head wrestling coach Joe Marino.
Enrollment Impacts Russell Land-Use Plan By Gwen Cooper The Russell Township Zoning Commission is gathering information about demographic changes in the community to update the township’s 20-year land-use guide plan, including school enrollment figures. “The guide plan is important for us to use in guiding our decisions on zoning regulations and it is used to defend those regulations,” zoning Chairman Rick Snyder said. A land-use survey of residents conducted last year indicated people are happy with the township’s rural character, large lot zoning and park land. The survey also indicated residents like the current low-density housing and lack of commercial and retail properties in the township. “We know what they like, now we need to gather information to back it up and make sure we have taken everything into account,” Snyder said. On Feb. 26, the commission invited former West Geauga Schools Board of Education President Bill Beers to share a slide show he presented to the
public in the fall of 2013 that show how school enrollment figures have declined over the past 10 years. Ben Kotowski, who serves on both the zoning commission and the school board, was unable to attend the meeting. He also had planned to take part in the presentation. Beers was a school board member for 12 years and was board president for 10 years. He presented a chart that illustrated how the resident population of the school district declined from 2,600 in the 200203 school year to about 1,900 in the present 2013-14 school year. The chart also showed how accepting open enrollment students during that time has helped buffer the decline. A majority of the resident students live in Chester Township, with a much smaller number living in Russell, a zoning commission member noted. When asked at what level the school’s programs, such as advanced placement classes and electives, become not viable, Beers answered below 1,900. “If it gets down to 1,50 0

Fundraiser Helps West G Sports Teams WAKE UP ... IT’S PANCAKE TIME! By Josh Echt It may take a village to raise a child, but it will take the West Geauga community to help raise funds for its football and wrestling teams. About 12 to 15 parents and volunteers were hard at work last Wednesday evening at a local restaurant, planning the West Geauga football and wrestling 12th annual reverse raffle at St. Noel Banquet Center in Willoughby Hills on April 12.
Head wrestling coach Joe Marino and volunteers Laurie Corbo and Julie Mazzurco discussed why the fundraiser is important not only to the football and wrestling teams, but also to the community. “It’s a way to bring everyone together,” Mazzurco said. The fundraiser will run from 6 p.m. to midnight and feature dinner, a DJ and dancing, adult beverages, three types of auctions — silent, Chinese and live — sideboards and a $2,0 0 0 grand prize.
Corbo said many parents of high school students put in effort and input to the initiative. Mazzurco, who has worked on the committee for the past four years, said this year’s event took about five to six months to plan. What makes the parents excited to be part of the reverse raffle committee? “It’s exciting getting all the parents together and getting them to help support our cause,” Corbo said.

OE Guidelines from page 1 During the break for the executive session, residents spoke informally with Superintendent Geoff Palmer, who said he was not consulted by board members and had received Dottore’s email that afternoon. “I wish they had consulted me,” he said. “I had met with an administrative management team that determined we had room for a total of 415 new students, including resident students who now attend private schools. This can be a large number. One year, we had 45 new resident students entering the middle school. The committee considered matters of scheduling, classrooms, budgeting and staff availability.” Palmer had recommended to the board that it maintain the current open enrollment level, which, according to school records is 239 students. West Geauga will lose $250,000 in open enrollment fees from the state, said interim Treasurer Dan Wilson. Wilson voiced concerns about the school’s long-term financial stability with a reduction or elimination of open enrollment students. “At the current level of spending, our projected expenditures will exceed our projected revenues in the 2016-2017 school year,” he said. “At that point, we will begin to spend down our $9 million savings.” Kotowski said the $9 million is already earmarked to delay a property tax increase. April 1 was set as by the board as the date to begin the process of accepting open enrollment students. The students who live outside the district must reapply each year to attend. “Last meeting, the superintendent recommended doing nothing (to cap open enrollment),” board member Dan Thoreson said. “Doing nothing is irresponsible.” Board member Tom Phelps said the new guidelines are for one year and will give the board time to consider its overall position on open enrollment. Dawn Richards, a Burton mother of two open enrollment high school students, said some of the comments made at the Feb. 3 meeting were intended to stir up emotions of the tax payers. “I’m not borrowing this school and we’re not freeloading,” she said. “The state pays you $5,745 for each of my children each year they attend. If I bought a house here, I would be paying less than that amount. I do pay taxes to Ohio to educate my children. This isn’t a members’ only club.” She further questioned why people opposed to open enrollment seem to be targeting the students from Richmond Heights and the South Euclid/Lyndhurst districts. “None of the data provided indicates

“This isn’t a private members’ only club,” Dawn Richards, of Burton, told the West Geauga Schools Board of Education about its change in the school’s open enrollment guidelines. She has two high school students enrolled at the school.
that open enrollment is weakening property values,” she said. “I appreciate that the diversity of having them here enhances my children’s education.” Resident Anita Zurcher, who has started a petition to end open enrollment at the school, gave an emotional rebuttal. “I raised my children to not see color,” she said. “It’s not a matter of discrimination. Open enrollment started at 50 students and grew to 259. Half the taxpayers didn’t know about it. I started this because taxpayers wanted to know what’s going on. I am the voice of the people who don’t want their names out there. This is very ugly to me.” Jane Stanick, of Russell, said she is in favor of open enrollment. “Without the revenue, you’re going to have problems,” she said. “That typically means a staffing reduction and elimination of music, art, some elective and advanced classes.” Colleen Crawford, of Moreland Hills, graduated from West Geauga Schools and has one open enrollment student at the school. “You should have a pros and cons chart,” she said. “Open enrollment students have made your state report card better. If you have good schools, more people will want to live here. The $1.3 million you receive a year from open enrollment is helping to keep your schools in the black. You need it.” She added, “I want to point out that I graduated in 1983 and your gym equipment is still vintage 1983. You cannot be closed minded. And, God bless us if we have diversity.” In another action, the board voted 32 to offer free all-day kindergarten to residents in the 2014-15 school year. Board members Thoreson and Kilroy abstained. Thoreson said he has a child that would be affected by the vote. Kilroy did not state his reason.

Carrie Fumich, Stephen Novak, Danielle Stark, Tyler Hubay, Devon Zurcher, Dylan Zurcher, Gabriel Deitz, Caitlin Dipadova and Amanda Garlak, of Chester Township, and Miriam DeMattia, of Russell Township, were named to the dean’s list at Bowling Green State University for the fall semester.
Marino, who is a teacher and a Wolverine alum himself, said the programs supported by the event include hotel stays for wrestlers at tournaments and football players at skills camps in the summer. The members said a portion of the proceeds earmarked for the football team will be funneled toward the construction of the team’s new artificial turf field. The field is slated to be completed sometime next year, the coach added. “The program helps whatever program the coach wants help with,” he said. On average, each annual fundraiser generates about $12,000 annually, the volunteers added. In the past, unique silent auction items have included the use of oceanfront condominiums and sports tickets. Marie Hall, who is affiliated with Marshall Power Equipment in Chester, said the company has donated various types of landscaping equipment in the past, such as weed-whackers and leafblowers. Marino said he purchases items off of eBay to be auctioned, such as sports memorabilia. “The community aspect is important to emphasize,” he said, adding local professionals, such as dentist Nick Fratantonio, donate dental services. Others donate roofing supplies and labor. “It really is that big,” Marino said.
Shannon Elizabeth Pavsek, of Chester Township, was named to the dean’s list at John Carol University for the fall semester. Philip A. Shea, of Chester Township, earned a Bachelor of Arts in Economics degree from Miami University of Oxford. Alexander Dawson, of Chester Township, earned a Master of Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering degree from the Georgia Institute of Technology. Aimee Venot, Patrick Stanisa and Thomas Ritz, of Chester Township, were named the dean’s list at Miami University for the fall semester. The students help out, too, further bolstering the sense of community, Mazzurco said. “West Geauga’s football team donates labor for doing jobs for people,” she added. Additionally, Wolverine alumni — coaches, players and students — have chipped in their efforts, Marino said, adding the parents’ roles in the event have been “indispensable.” As the interview wrapped up, Corbo paused, gathering her thoughts, watching more people come in as the planning session started. “It’s for the kids,” she said. “We do this for the kids.” Tickets are $60 for singles and $95 for couples.

New Location Allows Growth for Warren Henry Music By Laura Goehrke In 2007, Warren Henry and Aimee Zeller decided to join forces and open up a music store. Henry combined his knowledge and expertise of music with Zeller’s business background and Warren Henry Music was born. In January of this year, Warren Henry Music relocated to 530 East Washington Street, Chagrin Falls, primarily to offer more space for music lessons. There are now five practice rooms available, where 30-minute lessons are offered for any instrument imaginable — guitar, piano, violin, saxophone, drums, voice and more. Currently, Warren Henry Music employs 10 well-qualified instructors and the clientele for lessons is very diverse, ranging from 20-year-old rock guitarists, to 45-year-old mothers, to 65year-old retirees. Students participate in recitals throughout the year to share their talents with friends and families. In the near future, Henry and Zeller plan to offer group practice sessions in
addition to individual ones. Henry has always been a music enthusiast. “Music is unique, in that it’s something you can do your whole life,” he said. Henry is a guitarist and both his children have been involved in music and seen the value in it. Besides offering lessons, Warren Henry Music sells and rents out a large variety of instruments. Henry and Zeller work with several local school systems and rent out instruments to students of all ages. The store also offers a repair service for instruments. Henry and Zeller pride themselves in their competitive prices, quality and quantity of their inventory. They also thoroughly enjoy working with their clientele. “We have very loyal customers and it’s great to see each of them grow over time as performers and musicians,” Zeller said. Warren Henry Music is open 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday and Saturday. Call 440-247-0300 for more information about lessons or instrument inventory.

" Here in Northeast Ohio, we are no strangers to the snow. And with it, shoveling! So before you put on the gloves and get out the shovel, remember snow shoveling should be treated like a day in the gym – stretch beforehand and take it slow if you are not in shape. Shoveling is a cardiovascular and weight-lifting exercise, so keep your back straight, your knees bent, and follow these five tips to avoid overexertion! &!

West Geauga Fencing Club hosted another successful Wolverine Snow Belt Challenge tournament Feb. 22 with participation from several local high schools. Among the competitors were five West Geauga students (l to r) Hale Stackhouse, John Wenger, Bennett Palmer, Stephen Osborn, Zach Allegretti and Coach Jen Tulleners.
WG Swimming Submitted by Debbie Diadiun The West Geauga swimming and diving team finished the season with two swimmers and a diver competing at the Division II Ohio State Championship Meet in Canton Feb. 19-21. Kirstin Boni was the first female swimmer the Wolverines have ever had qualify to the exclusive state meet, which features the fastest 24 swimmers in Ohio in each event. Boni, a junior, finished second in the 100-yard breaststroke at the sectional championship meet at Perry and then qualified for the state meet by finishing third in the district championship meet at Cleveland State. In the district final, she obliterated her own school record by more than two seconds with a time of 1:07.97. She finished 20th in the state at Canton with a time of 1:09.24. Junior Ryan Gleske qualified for the state meet in the 50-yard freestyle. En route to Canton, Gleske finished fourth in both the sectional and district championship meets. He was seeded 20th at the state meet and improved to finish 15th with a finals time of 22.23. Senior diver Kyle Wells made his second straight trip to the state meet by finishing fifth in the district meet. He was ranked 20th at the start of the competition and ended up in 19th place with a point total of 217.80. He finished 22nd in last year’s state meet. Boni and Gleske had each qualified to the district meet in a second event. Boni had been seeded ninth and finished fifth in the 200-yard individual medley with a school record time of 2:15.52, but that still wasn’t fast enough for a spot in the state meet in that event. Gleske was ranked 10th in the 100-yard freestyle at the district and moved up one spot, finishing ninth with a time of 49.33.
Both the girls’ and boys’ teams had two relays qualify to the district championships this year. The same team of boys competed in both the 200-yard and 400-yard freestyle relays. Tucker Harvey, Ryan Zuzek, Mitchell Owens and Gleske were ranked 17th in the 200 free relay and finished in 14th place. The quartet also improved from their qualifying spot in the 400, moving up from 20th to finish 17th at the district championship. Natalie Poremba, Kirstin Boni, Abby Owens and Katherine Kulp were ranked 15th going into the girls 200-yard medley relay and finished in 11th place with a 2:01.12 time. Owens, Poremba, Boni and Jennifer Humanchuk qualified to district with the 15th best time, then turned in a school record time of 3:58.65 to finish ninth. Seniors Owens and Poremba finished their high school swimming career by competing in one final individual event at the district championship meet. Owens finished 20th in the breaststroke with a time of 1;15.33, and Poremba ended up 28th in the individual medley with a time of 2:30.57. The West Geauga girls finished the district championship meet in 10th place — their best showing ever in district competition. The boys finished 12th as a team at the district.

for the Q. My aunt is 73 years old. She has suffered 3 strokes and has been in and out of the hospital and the rehab facilities for five months. She wants to come home (to her cat) but the facility says that she needs 24 hours care because she can’t walk very well and her memory is bad. She can’t really afford 24 hours care for more than a year and I am not able to stay with her all the time because I work. What do I do to help her? ... Concerned Niece A. Dear Concerned Niece, there is a lot of help available. Research shows, 95% of the people who come out of rehab facilities do not need 24 hours care and supervision for an extended period of time if a comprehensive and coordinated care program is put in place before they are discharged from the rehab facility. Also, all 24 hours of care in a day does not have to be provided in the home. She could combine adult day care and in-home care and cut that expense by half. As a matter of fact, she could get adult day care service at ‘S’ Generation Center (440-942-9933) for as little as $4.95 per hour. Research has also shown that for every day that an older adult spends lying in a bed in a hospital or rehab, he/she loses about 5-7 days of the pre admission body strength and functioning. There is a simple exercise that you can do with her for just 2 minutes 3-4 times a day and in about a week, she will begin to regain her ability to walk. That alone will reduce her need for care. ‘S’Generation center also has a program called STRENGTHS. It is a service that gives you inexpensive access to professional quality geriatric care management, legal/financial planning, in-home care, adult day care, home safety, emergency response services, stress management and wellness therapies for both you as the family caregiver and she as the care recipient. STRENGTHS is designed for those who do not want the stress of family caregiving, who want to enjoy their personal lives BUT see their ELDERLY LOVED ONES THRIVE OUTSIDE of the nursing home. Here are 5 quick steps to follow to help your aunt get out of the rehab and stay well and safe in the comfort of her home. #1. Seek a geriatric care manager or a social worker (www.NAPGCM.com) to help determine the level of care that she needs. If you want help right away, call 440-942-9933 and ask for the health educator or the nurse. Ask the health educator or the geriatric care manager if your aunt will qualify for ASSISTED LIVING AT HOME, as service that provide 24HOUR care for $9.95-$13.50/hr. #2. Schedule a level of care assessment to be done by the geriatric care manager or social worker at the rehab facility. After the level of care assessment, a round the clock care plan will be designed for her. Between combination care, grants and community resources, you may be able to discount her care by up to 50% percent. #3. Request a discharge planning meeting at the rehab facility to discuss the discharge process so that the rehab facility will know that you have things in place to provide her with the needed care. #4. Call the Home Health Care Supply Outlet (440-266-1770) and request a home safety evaluation. They will come out and show you how to make the home safer and what kinds of supplies and equipment to use to save money, time and energy. They carry new, used or rented medical equipment as well. #5. Bring her home, use the plan that has been made for her and help her to continue her rehab at home and to enjoy her cat.

I am a West G resident, have a son attending West G, pay West G taxes and vote in West G. You do not kick someone when they are down. The board has been mercilessly beating up struggling districts like Richmond Heights by taking 52 students and $296,000 in 2013, South Euclid by taking 50 students and $285,000 in 2013 and so on. We need to stop taking from these district and give them a chance to grow. If Open Enrollment stops ... What about the current open enrollment students? They can support their local school, simply go to a different open enrollment school or if they really like it here, move here. In this market, there are a lot of affordable houses. What about our local students? They will get back to all the things that make a local school system great. Community support, pride and willingness to go the extra mile for our neighbors. There will be a 10 percent greater chance that my child will get in the play, be on the team, get an award and so on. AP classes and programs were here before open enrollment and will continue. What about teachers and staff? We have been cutting back for years and will slowly continue. What about facilities? Long term plans need to be started now, but there is no need to change a thing yet. What about the money? If open enrollment students do not
Russell from page 1 kids, there will not be enough students to hold an AP class,” he said. He also pointed out a declining enrollment could cost taxpayers more money. “The cost per student goes up when the number of students goes down,” Beers said. “If schools aren’t attractive people won’t want to move here,” Snyder added. “Our land use survey indicated people like our population at about 7,000 and don’t want a build out to 30,000. As a consequence, they have to pay more property tax to pay for schools.” Beers also stated West Geauga is in the best financial shape in many years due to state money received from accepting open enrollment students. “Going into this year, we had a $9 million carryover, which meant we wouldn’t have to ask for new property taxes during the current five-year budget,” he said. “We’re in better financial shape than Kenston and Chardon. Beers explained the school accepted more open enrollment students in the current school year because there were more empty seats due to a sharp decline in resident enrollment.

the editor cost the school district because they are filling open seats, then I want my child to be one filling an open seat so I can stop paying taxes. My child has more right to fill the open seat than someone from another district. What about the $1.4 million everyone talks about, how can we make it up? It is simple ... we never needed it in the first place. We have had a total of 790 open enrollment students in the last seven years for a gross income of $4.53 million. We had a $9 million carry over last year. So, without a penny from open enrollment, we still would have carried over $4.47 million. What about the open enrollment parent? There is no longer incentive for them to be involved in their neighborhood schools, to support their levies and vote for their school board. What about the local parents? I happen to be one who would no longer be bullied by whoever is dropping off open enrollment students and blocks the school driveway until they are good and ready to leave. I will no longer see a vehicle drop off open enrollment students and then drive back and forth across the center line of Caves Road all the way to Mayfield Road while being distracted by something on the passenger seat. I will be able to take my children to the library without worrying about harassment or profanity from open enrollment students waiting to be picked up after school. Bob Bauer Chester Township tracked resident enrollment figures by grade and pointed out a “wave” with a higher number of students in contiguous grades that had just graduated. Beers explained the resident enrollment fell sharply because this wave of students had graduated. “We allowed more open enrollment in 2014 because we had room,” he said. “We did not advertise, but word gets around when students tell their peers that it has been a good experience.” Commission member Tom Warren said it appears the state favors open enrollment because it pays school districts, such as West Geauga, more than double the amount per pupil for nonresident students. “Open enrollment is obviously a buffer,” Warren said. Warren speculated with the continued drop in enrollment school buildings would have to be consolidated or there might have to be a merger with another school district. “What if you closed one of the elementary school buildings?” he asked. Beers said it had been discussed, but the parents and other residents are opposed to it. “It’s a long drive down Caves Road between the elementary school buildings,” said commission member Bruce Murphy. Snyder said one-third of the residents in Russell are retired and the median age is 51 years old. “That’s huge when you consider affordability of homes and taxes and on the success of passing additional tax levies,” he said. Snyder said the land-use guide plan update, due for completion in 2015, is looking at a variety of elements. Included are water resources, impervious surfaces, riparian setbacks, along with population density and demographics.
