WG BOE President Michael Kilroy Resigns Group Calling for Termination Suspends Petition By Gwen Cooper With the May 15 resignation of Michael Kilroy as president of West Geauga Schools Board of Education, the seven community members who were circulating a petition calling for his ouster have suspended their efforts and will work with the remaining four school board members, said Bernard Mandel. “It’s a good school system and we want to see it remain the same,” he said. “We want to make sure the remaining board is successful.” Mandel has been active in school levy campaigns as well as several school ad hoc committees. Fellow petitioners Kathy Leavenworth and Bill Beers, both former school board members agreed. “We are not seeking the resignation of any other board member,” Beers said, adding, “I’m sorry to hear about the medical condition in the Kilroy

family and I wish them the best.” Said Leavenworth: “We have no intent of continuing with the petition and have asked people not to circulate anything more.” She said there was a rumor that a few people want to push “this resignation idea onto some of the other board members,” but insists her group is not involved in that effort. Leavenworth explained because the petition had only started a few days before Kilroy announced his resignation for family medical reasons, her group had no idea how many signatures had been collected. “This was not a recall petition that requires only signatures of registered West G voters, but was more a way of gathering overall support for his resignation,” she said. The petition listed 12 reasons the group thought Kilroy should resign. When contacted by phone on May 16, Mandel summed them up. He said under Kilroy, the

board did “silly things,” such as spend its annual budget in legal fees in the course of several months by having its legal counsel attend every meeting and every executive session, make cuts to open enrollment and oust Geoff Palmer as superintendent, only to pay him for another year, plus hire Michael Nutter to do the superintendent’s job on an interim basis. “Palmer was well liked in the community and operated the schools efficiently,” Mandel said. “And the board was paying to have its legal counsel write its meeting agendas and attend every meeting. The prior board left the schools with a large surplus of money. The current board has eaten into that. As a result, in three years the district will have to ask for a 7-mill levy to make up for it.” Mandel, a Russell Township resident, is a longtime supporter of the schools. Other petitioners include Jeff Fanger, Jeff Grover, John Wilhelm and

Chester Township Recycling Committee spokesman Ken Mantey discusses moving the township’s recycling center to a nearby residential street, as Trustee Ken Radtke shows photos.

Recycling Center Could Be Moved By Diane Ryder A proposed temporary relocation of the Chester Township Recycling Center from Parkside Drive to township-owned property on nearby Herrick Drive met with vocal criticism at Thursday’s trustees meeting. Several residents said the increased traffic could endanger neighborhood children as well as those attending Miss Pat’s Day Care Center next door. For the past year, trustees have been discussing several options for their recycling center, which is currently located near the township hall, police station, fire station and ball fields at Parkside Park. They appointed an unofficial

recycling advisory committee to study the options, which include keeping the center where it is, relocating it or doing away with it altogether and having only curbside pick-up. Chester Recycling Committee member Ken Mantey told trustees Thursday his advisory group, which includes trustees Ken Radtke and Bud Kinney, believed a recent crash involving an emergency vehicle and a resident dropping off recycling material had created an urgency to relocate the center temporarily until trustees make the final decision. “We’d like to make a recommendation to move it to township property located off Herrick Drive as soon as possible to

address the safety issues,” Mantey said. “We cannot afford to have an emergency vehicle delayed because a resident is in the way (on Parkside Drive).” The township owns a 0.64acre lot on Herrick Drive, adjacent to the day care, and uses it for storage of road materials. Trustees said the property has recently been cleaned up in anticipation of moving the recycling bins there. “It would be an interim move; we don’t know if it will be a permanent site,” Mantey said. “The committee will continue to review it and have a final recommendation to trustees by the end of the year.”

another former school board member, Sally Gillmore. Also reached by phone for comment after Kilroy’s resignation, current school board members Dan Thoreson and Dr. Thomas Phelps both expressed concern for Kilroy’s family and thanks for his service to the school. “It was becoming clear that Michael was becoming a distraction on the board,” Phelps

said. “But, his heart and his concern was always wanting the best for the kids (students).” Both Phelps and Thoreson said other board members, besides Kilroy, had “trust” and “confidence” issues with Palmer. “We came on the board in January with a blank slate,” said Thoreson. “But, soon we had questions and didn’t know if we

Kilroy Opens Up About Controversial Decision By Gwen Cooper Just hours after announcing his resignation, West Geauga Schools Board of Education President Michael Kilroy sat down for a candid interview, assuring his reasons for stepping down were due to an ongoing medical condition of one of his family members and not about a recent petition aimed at ousting him. He displayed a document indicating the existence of the medical condition in October of 2012, but asked that the details be kept confidential. “It’s family first,” said Kilroy. “It became obvious during a recent family trip that the added stress of my duties on the BOE was aggravating the condition. I need to spend more time with my family right now.” He added, “At the time, I was not aware of a petition calling for my resignation. I’ve been through witch hunts before. Those who know me are aware I’m not known for backing down from a fight. I am not resigning because of a petition.” Kilroy announced at the tumultuous April 29 school board meeting that he intended to step down as board president in September, but stay on as a board member to complete his term. “It became clear to me on our family trip that resigning as president wasn’t enough,” he said. “I would still be subjecting my family to the stress as a board member.” Kilroy has served on the board for six and a half years. He spear-

headed a drive to improve technology that yielded $275,000 in donations to purchase iPad computers for grades three to five. “For me, it’s about the kids (students); it’s always about the kids,” he said, adding serving on the board which often placed him at odds with other board members. “I’ve always asked questions of other board members and administrators and staff, and been criticized for it,” Kilroy said. “Asking questions is not a sin. That’s how you get information to make changes and improve the district. I’ve always cared about the district and led the charge to keep improving the school’s rankings.” He and other board members have been questioning administrative staff members about several incidents that have occurred at the school, he said. That might have ignited the recent firestorm and led to the petition drive orchestrated by seven people,

Decision from page 1 Kilroy said, including three former school board members, two of whom he campaigned against last November. Related incidents involved a student with a medical issue and one or two board members were asking how school personnel handled the situation, Kilroy said, adding that because the board asked for a report when trying to determine nursing staff needs, a complaint was filed with the state medical board. Kilroy said it becomes embarrassing when board members are kept in the dark. “The students are tweeting and emailing each other and their parents about the incident,” he said. “Members of the community seem to know about it. But, the school board is purposely kept in the dark and we’re the ones who are held accountable. “How can we staff appropriately when we can’t get answers? Is it too much for board members to ask questions about school safety?” He referred to former board members as “bobble heads, who just went along with what the superintendent and administrators wanted, without asking questions and without knowing what was going on in the schools.” “How do you make board decisions without information?” Kilroy asked. “We had a school lunch program that was in the red $230,000 a year. People are complaining that we gave up $250,000 in open enrollment fees. We are now saving $200,000 on our lunch program.” Administrators explained the lunch program with “that’s how it is with every school” and “it’s a give-back to the community,” Kilroy said “Well, it wasn’t true,” he said. “When former Superintendant Tom Derringer arrived, he soon asked, ‘What’s going on with your lunch program that it’s losing

so much money?’ It was so apparent to him that something was wrong. Now, we’ve cut the losses to about $30,000 a year. If board members had asked harder questions sooner, the district could have saved $200,000 a year.” The school policy limits the number of open enrollment students the district will accept, he said. “Instead of people complaining about turning away $250,000 in open enrollment fees, they should be looking at the $1 million we will continue to bring in,” Kilroy said, adding that he wanted more information about a levy. “Nobody is talking about the 10-year, $40-million income tax levy that the previous board was trying to get passed, until I and other residents started asking some embarrassing questions,” he said. The highlight of his service on the board was the thank-you notes he received from fourth- and fifth-grade students when they received their iPad computers, Kilroy said, noting he spearheaded a fundraising drive for the computers. “One fourth-grade child’s note asked if I had invented the iPad,” he said, smiling. “That was amusing. Then, when we presented the fifth-grade class with their iPads, one student wrote, ‘Thanks for remembering us.’ That did it for me; what we do makes a difference in the lives of each of our students.” One note became a catalyst for him to improve the school’s rankings “to open up opportunities for our kids to get into the best colleges and careers.” “How do you achieve a ranking in the top 5 percent of schools?” asked Kilroy. “Today, you need to provide students with an education in technology. To do that, you have to have computers for each student to use. You have to have more advanced placement classes. You have to have a good athletic program, which today means you have to have a turf field. And, you have to have an informed board making these decisions.”

Mantey said he believes a recycling center is valuable to the community because it promotes responsible recycling, is convenient for residents, brings income into the township, serves as a means of research for the community and gets feedback that is valuable to trustees when they make decisions. He said when trustees decide about the location, residents need to be notified by newspaper articles, signs and postcards distributed at Clean-Up Day. Mantey said the center will be an improvement over the storage area that has been on the property. “The area has been quite an eyesore in the past, but the road department has been cleaning it up; this emergency has made us move faster,� he added. The committee selected the site because it has one-way ingress and egress and is already partially fenced, Mantey said. He said the township will add fencing, landscaping and signage to make the parcel more attractive. “This was dumped on us because of the safety issue; the park board has always wanted (the center) moved,� he told trustees. The “pros� for that site include ease of access, proximity to the current location, less competing traffic, little danger of colliding with safety vehicles and inexpensive,� he said. He added, “On the con side would be noise, with 6 a.m. dumping.� “And people live there,� a woman in the audience interjected. “We’re gonna have animals there, trash and traffic in our neighborhood.� Mantey said they can specify when people can come in with materials they want to dump and put up 10-foot fences to cut down on debris. “It’s a safety trade-off,� he added. “Not if you have little kids,� another woman interrupted. Francesca Albaugh, who lives across the street from the property, had several objections. “I don’t want to sit on my porch and look at dumpsters,� Albaugh said. “I have a little child and there is bound to be glass and animals. It will be unsightly and there are safety issues. I don’t think that location is a good thing for Chester Township.� Gary Temple, who lives next to the property, objected to moving the center to a residential street.

“You’re moving this because of pressure from the park board,� Temple told trustees. “It’s already in a convenient location near the town hall, so it could be watched from there and from the police station. Otherwise, they can do pretty much what they want. The ‘safety issue’ is a joke.� Temple said putting the center next to a day care center could bring in more traffic that could be dangerous for small children. “If a child gets clipped on Herrick Drive, I hope you gentlemen remember you chose to put it there,� Temple told trustees, adding if the center is there, he will be forced to move and rent out his house. “It doesn’t belong on a residential street,� Temple said. Albaugh said she works in the real estate industry, and she believes her property value will be reduced by “at least $10,000� if the center goes in. “We’ve had issues with noise even where it’s at now,� said Opalocka Drive resident Debra Perry. “It’s gonna be even louder. Is there anywhere else in the community you can consider putting it? We have raccoons and the Lyman tick problem is high in Geauga County.’ Albaugh asked trustees if they would like the recycling center across from their homes. “I really don’t think this will be the permanent location,� Mantey replied. Temple replied once it’s there, it’ll never move. “Why not find a permanent spot that everybody can agree on?� Perry asked. She also asked trustees about the time frame for the move and how long they anticipate using the Herrick Drive location. Radtke said he had originally hoped the center could move by May 20, but he had reservations about issues with headlights streaming into nearby buildings, possible leaching problems and other related issues. “The committee’s preliminary finding was that curbside pickup was the primary choice,� Radtke said. “There are a lot of things still in flux here.� Trustee Mike Petruziello added, “If it were up to me, I’d do away with it altogether.� Kinney said he anticipated the move would be made within 60 days. “I got the feeling you’ve already made up your minds and I’m wasting my time to be here tonight,� Temple said. Radtke said he would take the comments into consideration. Trustees took no formal action on the issue.

3 TIPS FOR HELPING OLDER PEOPLE REMAIN IN THEIR HOMES QUESTION: My mentally sharp but frail 78 years old mother lives alone in a 3 level house. Lately, it has become increasingly difficult for her to get around even though she has a walker. I don’t want to take away her independence and I had promised her that I will never put her in a nursing home but I am concerned an injury will limit her ability to continue to live on her own. How do I keep her safe without worrying?

ANSWER: A fall is number one cause of accidental death and the number one reason why older adults loose their independence and have to move to a long term care facility. A fall can happen any where at just about any time but the safer the environment the lower the likelihood of a fall. Preventing a fall and have access to medical care if a person falls are the keys to a fast recovery and the ability to regain and maintain independence. Before we discuss the 3 tips, lets look at some statistics about falls. • Most falls occur in the bathroom. • Most falls are caused by a change in vision, physical mobility and adverse response to medications. • When an older adult falls, he/she would likely fall again in 6 months or less. • Over 50% of the people who suffer a major fracture from a fall die within 2 years from the complications of reduced mobility and or complex treatment modalities.

3 TIPS FOR HELPING OLDER ADULTS REMAIN SAFE IN THEIR HOMES #1. Safety first. If you have the resources have a professional home safety evaluation done and carry out all the recommended modifications such as the installation of grab bars, the removal of throw rugs, the use of canes and walkers and even chaning the lighting of the home. #2. Have a sit down with your doctor or nurse practitioner and review all your medications. Eliminate medications when possible. Use only one pharmacy so all your medications come from the same place and are checked for compatibility. #3. Invest in a good emergency response system that has the capability to monitor your wellness several times a day, monitor for abnormal carbon monooxide levels, monitor motion so that if you are not up and about, the system can call for help, the ability to connect you with your caregivers and loved ones.

Chester Township Trustees are considering a request by Trustee Mike Petruziello Thursday night to open future public sessions with prayer. “The U.S. Supreme Court recently ruled that prayer is considered part of our heritage and I would like to incorporate prayer at the beginning of our meetings, after we do the pledge (of allegiance),” Petruziello said near the end of Thursday’s meeting. He said he had read the lengthy recent Supreme Court decision upholding a lower appeals court decision, which found that local governments can open sessions with prayer because it falls under the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution allowing for free speech. “It found that it ‘comports with tradition’ and open prayer is a part of our American heritage,” Petruziello said. “The Supreme Court said it’s allowed at public meetings, so I’d like to adopt that.” He asked the issue be placed on the next agenda for trustees to consider. Trustee Ken Radtke said it might be a topic for discussion, but Trustee Bud Kinney said he had some misgivings.

Chester from page 10 “This township doesn’t have a history of beginning meetings with prayer,” Kinney said. “I don’t really have any experience with this.” “I’m hoping and praying that we do the right thing every day,” quipped Radtke. In other discussion, trustees delayed making a decision on whether to purchase arborvitae plants to screen two retention ponds at the new cemetery expansion. “I’m not in the mood to spend that kind of money,” Petruziello said. A previous board of trustees decided to plant the bushes instead of installing fencing between the ponds and nearby homes.

Resignation from page 1 could trust the information was accurate that we were getting from the school administration.” Phelps said Palmer was personable, but was reluctant to share information that board members requested resulting in embarrassing situations where the public “knew more than the board did” about certain incidents that occurred at the school.

Al Salomone Chesterland OH

“I’ll draft a motion for next meeting, with the best bid,” Radtke said. Petruziello asked whether a guardrail along the roadway can be removed. “What’s the option?” Radtke asked. Petruziello said he would like to see a combined motion about the plants and the guardrail placed on the next agenda. “We need to come up with one motion so we can put that cemetery (project) to bed,” Petruziello said. “I’d like to bring this all to a closure, absolutely,” Radtke replied, adding, however, he didn’t think both issues could be addressed with one motion. “I want to close it and put it to bed,” Petruziello reiterated. Radtke said the arborvitae issue will be placed on the next meeting’s agenda. Phelps said the board will advertise for candidates to replace Kilroy as a member on the board. He said the board’s vice president, Jackie Dottore, would be the acting president. According to the state statute, the board must act to fill the vacancy at its next regular meeting or call a special meeting at least 10 days after the vacancy occurs, and must act to fill the vacancy within 30 days. The next scheduled meeting is 7 p.m. May 28 in the Community Room at the West Geauga Middle School.

I just wanted to take a moment to thank you all. Attending the meetings, following what you have done personally and reading the biased Chesterland News confirms what a true service you do for the school and the community. I feel it can appear as a thankless job. Regardless of whether we agree, you all deserve thanks. All parties involved should be commended on Mr. Palmer’s recent reassignment. It was gracious of Mr. Palmer to accept and use his expertise in other capacities while allowing the board to move forward to focus on instituting what the majority of the community wants with the school system. My hope is that this reassignment will end the disunity that draws attention away from the real issues and direction of our schools. This board is fiscally responsible. While you are in a position to be over scrutinized where spending is concerned, one has to look at the big picture and progression. • The fact that so much is done through private donations instead of raising property taxes (Smart Boards, iPads come to mind). • Alumni committees and the turf committee both can raise a lot of money without affecting state funding or property taxes. • An attorney at board meetings is great at circumventing a costly lawsuit and keeps everything within the law. Common sense is not enough in today’s litigious society. • Mr. Wilson appears to do a great job as treasurer and affords the board the time to find the right person for the permanent job. Desperation is never a good thing. Wasted time is wasted money. I see much of what is being done today as saving us in the long run. Know that the venomous attendees at the board meetings have a self-serving agenda and do not represent the majority of the community. No one should have to receive the personal attacks while doing so much good. Myself, my neighbors and my

friends in the community all like the changes this year. Know that you have a lot of support. Michelle Allen Chester Township

Change in the Air Far too often school boards are rubber stamps for the whims of superintendents that find crying the sky is falling and increasing taxes as the only solution. It’s just the easiest and laziest way to run a district. In West Geauga, that led to 15 tax levy votes between 1998 and 2012. Even when the community clearly indicated its direction by defeating the 2006 earned income tax proposal by a 78-22 vote, the push for tax and spend continued. Our district did slowly get spending under control, even accumulating some cushion for emergencies. We left perpetual financial crisis mode. The sky didn’t fall. A key factor in the transformation has been having Michael Kilroy on the board for the last seven years. Even if you disagree with his style or positions, you must agree that he has always been an independent thinker and voice who has worked tirelessly to spend every taxpayer dime efficiently while keeping a critical eye on the academic performance of the district. When necessary, he has resorted to contribution campaigns to raise funds for expansion of classroom technology, without the need for new taxes. That’s why I find it the height of hypocrisy that some of his detractors have brought up the cost of moving aside the outgoing superintendent. For the most part, those are the same folks who have supported uncontrolled tax and spend in the past. With a $25 million budget, we are talking about a fraction of a percent of spending. I’m willing to let the facts of the issues between the board and superintendent come out before deciding if this was money well spent or not. Change is in the air. In moving forward from this point, let’s not slide backwards into tax and spend. Greg Ordy Chester Township

Memorial Day Sale

Buy 3 Get 1 Free Beautiful Blooming Annuals

Perennial Gardeners’ Plant Sale Deemed a Success The Perennial Gardeners of Chesterland welcomed a rare warm, rain free day and gardeners eager to get outside and shop for flowers on May 10. The over 200 lush hanging baskets of annuals were standouts in vibrant colors. The much sought after perennial plants donated by club members from their private gardens were reasonably priced, plentiful and often unusual and rarely encountered. In addition to shopping for Mother’s Day gifts and garden items, visitors anxiously entered the raffle. Jennifer Miller, a first-time customer from the Ravenna area, was impressed by the selection and affordable prices. She was also thrilled to win a gift basket filled with items from The Miniature Cellar shop in Chester Township. Joyce Allyn, of Chester Township, who is “usually the one donating to causes,” won a Hydrangea and Carlesii Viburnum. Rita Schraff won a massage basket with gift certificates provided by licensed massage therapist Dana Drayer, of Chester Township.
