West G Watchdog Group Targets Another BOE Member By Gwen Cooper Despite their May 15 statements to the contrary, the group of seven people who circulated petitions to oust Michael Kilroy as the West Geauga Schools Board of Education president took aim at interim President Jackie Dottore in a May 21 letter. Following Kilroy’s resignation on May 15 due to health issues with a family member, three members of the watchdog group said they did not plan on seeking the resignations of other school board members and had planned to work with them to “make sure the remaining board is successful.” One week later, the group of seven, now calling themselves “Operation Transparency,”

Jackie Dottore’s past and ongoing actions portend that she will continue the same course, disregarding transparency, not making students central to all decisions and acting without legal authority. – Operation Transparency

Dottore

seemed to be setting the stage to ask for Dottore’s resignation. The group circulated a letter to some residents with a long list of grievances about Dottore, who the group called “an ally of Mr. Kilroy.” The letter said since she was elected to the board, “Jackie

Dottore’s past and ongoing actions portend that she will continue the same course, disregarding transparency, not making students central to all decisions and acting without legal authority.” As they did with Kilroy, the group cited specific examples of how Dottore has acted inappropriately.

• “Actively participating in the removal of Mr. Geoff Palmer as superintendent at a cost in excess of $150,000. His evaluations have been great and he led the schools to numerous honors.” • “Engineering the reduction of open enrollment costing the schools some $275,000 per year. Open enrollment students have stellar grades, they have

caused no incidents and, as an aside, 62 percent of residents asked in a recent independent poll, sponsored by the board, were in favor of open enrollment.” • “The lack of transparency has been evident by closed door meetings, most of which have included only two board members, which may be a violation of the Ohio Sunshine Laws.” • “Irresponsible fiscal policies such as the open enrollment reduction, the replacement of Geoff Palmer and the needless waste of excessive legal fees.” • “Interfering with the teaching staff during school hours.”

Russell OKs Recycling Center Parking Lot Repairs By Gwen Cooper Russell Township Trustees voted to approve spending up to $30,000 to repair sections of the current recycling center lot on Chillicothe Road at their May 21 meeting. The work will be done by the township road department and will include removing the softer portions of the lot, located behind the former fire station at the southeast corner of Chillicothe and Kinsman roads. Materials will be added to stabilize the surface and the lot will be paved with asphalt to better accommodate heavy garbage truck traffic that picks up the full recycling containers,

according to recommendations submitted by Road Superintendent Gene Layne. Zoning Inspector Ric Machnics suggested gravel and drainage pipe be added below the surface to help drain the lot near the north driveway. He noted he often sees standing water in that area and said the water could be creating some of the problems, especially during winter freezing and thawing cycles. Chairman Justin Madden reported the township did not receive any of the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency grants it had applied for to make more changes and

Ohio law allows townships to donate to non-profit charities, which means Chester Township Trustees can donate to the Chesterland Historical Foun-dation, former Trustee Pat Mula told them last Thursday. Mula, a volunteer at the foundation’s Historical Village, cited Ohio Revised Code 505.707, which allows communities to donate to community service groups that are tax exempt.

She asked the board to consider donating $1,50 0 to the organization, which has preserved several structures on a 5acre campus at the northwest corner of Caves and Mayfield roads. “We began in 1974 when the Walter C. White family donated 5 acres that included an 1847 one-room schoolhouse that is on the National Register of Historic Places,” Mula told trustees. She said over the last four

decades, the organization has acquired and restored the 1842 Silas Tanner House, the 1850 town hall, an interurban station and the old Scotland Store as well as outbuildings, furniture and artifacts specific to Chester history. “We operate free of charge to anyone and all is supported by monetary donations,” she said. “We pay for building maintenance and upkeep and have a

West Geauga from page 1 • “Interfering with teacher union negotiations.” • “Continuing to hold the position of Westwood PTO president, a conflict of interest.” • “By participating in acts that are not authorized by the Ohio statutes such as not approving meeting minutes, breaching the Ohio Sunshine Laws, usurping the duties of the superintendent, which are specifically set out in the Ohio Statutes, and giving the school board president authority to act independently.” Members of Operation Transparency include former school board members Bill Beers, Sally Gillmore and Kathy Leavenworth, along with residents Jeff Fanger, Jeff Grover, Bernard Mandell and John Wilhelm. At this time, the group has not initiated a petition drive seeking Dottore’s resignation. “We will be considering a second petition drive in the next few days,” Gillmore said last Wednesday in an email to some residents. Mandell said the group circulated the letter to inform and educate the public. “We’ll have more to say in a day or so,” he said, indicating the group planned to meet last Thursday night to decide its next course of action. Beers previously said the group was not “seeking the resignation of all other board members” while Leavenworth said the committee is not currently involved in any other effort to push “this resignation idea onto some of the other board members.” In their second letter, committee members also expressed hope the remaining board members — Dottore, Dan Thoreson, Tom Phelps and Ben Kotowski — would replace Kilroy with someone “with leadership skills, experi-

ence serving on boards and an abiding interest in our schools.” According to a source familiar with the search, Leavenworth, who served as West Geauga board president for 22 years and is a past president of the Ohio School Boards Association, and is a former member of the State Board of Education, is one of two people who have expressed interest in filling the vacant board seat. After the group’s May 22 meeting, Mandell issued an emailed statement. “Our primary goal at this time is to fully support the appointment of Kathy Leavenworth to the West Geauga school board,” he wrote. “Kathy’s wealth of experience, clear communications skills, and collaborative nature make her the unequivocal and necessary choice for the open seat on the board.” Dottore also issued an email statement in response to the letter. “At this time, I will be discussing the letter with my own personal attorney and also with the board’s legal counsel to determine whether these are specific allegations against all five board members including both Ben Kotowski and Mike Kilroy as well as prior board members Bill Beers and Sally Gillmore.”

CHESTER GOVERNMENT UPDATE Community Clean-up/ Recycling Day A recent submitted flyer in the Chesterland News mistakenly listed that the Community Cleanup/Recycling Day was going to be located at the West Geauga Middle/High School. This is incorrect. Please note, the event is still scheduled from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. June 7, but the location has moved to the old Chester School site, 12535 Chillicothe Road, Chester Township, just north of the Drug Mart Plaza. The entrance will be the northern drive. In prior years, the township has had a trash drop off day for Chester residents only. This year, with help from the WG Kiwanis and in conjunction with their annual electronics recycling/document shredding, the program has expanded to include Habitat for Humanity. West G residents will be permitted to participate in the HFH Take and Leave document shredding and electronics and metals recycling. Because the trash drop off is an expense to our taxpayers, only Chester residents will be permitted to use this service, and identification will be required. Also note that businesses will not be permitted to drop trash, either. Save the flyer for reference on what materials are acceptable. We apologize for the miscommunication. Call Chester Township, 440-729-7058, for more information.

••••••••••• On May 15, Chester Township Trustees held a regular meeting to approve various financial items, the hiring of a new part-time police officer, approval for Chief Mark Purchase to attend training and the hiring of a new part-time administrative assistant for the fire department to fill a forthcoming vacancy. The board also approved $13,854 to purchase a second automated CPR system (Lucas Device) so both EMS squads are equally outfitted. The first Lucas Device was a generous donation to Chester Township by University Hospitals. The board approved advertising for the hiring of a mechanic for the road department and $83,198 was also approved for the purchase of a new cab and chassis under the Ohio Department of Transportation State Purchase Program. A presentation was given by members of the Chesterland Historical

Foundation asking Chester Township Trustees to donate $1,500 to the organization. Ohio Revised Code 505.707 was referenced as granting a board of township trustees the authority to donate to a tax exempt organization that serves a community purpose. No decision was made at this meeting. Ken Mantey, chairman of the Chester Recycle Committee, gave a presentation recommending the interim relocation of the recycle bins to the Township-owned property off Herrick Drive that abuts the road department. The reasons cited was a minor accident at the current bin location involving a resident’s vehicle and a township vehicle, the amount of vehicle and pedestrian traffic and the frequent use by the road department, as well as emergency runs by fire and EMS vehicles. The committee is also looking at long term solutions to promote and improve recycling in Chester Township with a goal of a final recommendation by year end. Several residents who live adjacent to and across from the proposed location voiced their opposition and concern, citing safety and increased traffic and noise. Trustees have made no decision on this recommendation. There was a minor accident on township property involving two police vehicles, and measures have been implemented to manage traffic flow and change vehicle parking to prevent recurrence. Our zoning inspector, Steve Averill, provided a summary of recent zoning activities. Together, we agreed to implement a method to track new, outstanding and closed zoning violations. With warmer weather approaching, Averill encouraged anyone considering installing a pool, including a small temporary pool, to contact him at 440-729920 1 for information and guidance regarding fencing requirements. Discussion was initiated regarding a recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling (Town of Greece, NY vs. Susan Galloway, et. al.) regarding prayer in open public meetings and that conversation will continue. The board also met in executive session for the purpose of discussing employee compensation. Upon returning to the public session of the meeting, the meeting was closed at 10:37 p.m.

“I’ve seen the minutes of the meeting (where the vote for raises was taken). We’re in agreement, but we have to follow the law,” Commissioner Blake Rear said. Replied Kline, “I think it’s time for action.” Commissioner Ralph Spidalieri said he is grateful the mental health levy passed despite the negative publicity surrounding the board. He opined the actions of the MHRS board and Adams put a lot of people in the mental health system at risk, if the levy hadn’t passed. “We need those services in this county,” Spidalieri said, promising to keep fighting. The commissioners, however, have to follow the advice of the county prosecutor, he added. Also, Spidalieri said only those MHRS board members who voted for the raises should be required to step down. Samide said the commissioners could pass a resolution emphasizing the commissioners’ concerns to the state regarding state-appointed board members. As to the future, any replacement members would have to meet certain criteria. One requirement is that every member must have a background in mental health, Rear said. “We appoint them on the recommendation of someone who knows the criteria,” he said. Commissioners should do more than accept recommendations about who to appoint, added Samide. Spidalieri said he is disheartened at the position the MHRS board took; namely, when the individuals who received the huge raises returned the money, the board considered the problem solved. “It really opened my eyes,” he said. “The recommendations for a lot of this

Geauga County Commissioners said last Tuesday they agree with Munson Township resident Jeff Kline’s demands that county-appointed members of the Geauga County Board of Mental Health and Recovery Services who voted to increase CEO Jim Adams’ salary should be removed. They even agreed, as county residents, to sign Kline’s petition to have Adams removed from office and the mental health board members who approved the raises ousted from their seats. The petition reads: We the undersigned formally request the resignation of CEO Jim Adams. Furthermore we request the resignation of all board members of Geauga Mental Health who voted for raises on CEO and staff. However, commissioners said they are waiting on legal advice from Geauga County Prosecutor Jim Flaiz regarding their authority to do either and, if such action is possible, the correct way to do it. Kline noted it has been a month since the community learned the MHRS board had granted Adams “obscene raises” and asked if the commissioners have any plan of action to ensure it won’t happen again. Commissioner Mary Samide said the mental health board rolled back Adams’ raises and those of the board staff to 2009 levels. Kline said that didn’t absolve the board of guilt. He said the Ohio Revised Code specifies the commissioners appoint some board members and should be able to un-appoint them as well. The law allows up to 14 members on a county mental health board, half of which the county appoints and half the state. Samide said the Geauga County has appointed seven to the state’s five.

Office and probate court are teaming up to present a “Good Deeds” program 7 p.m. June 3 and June 5 for homeowners at Russell Town Hall. The program helps property owners and their families avoid probate court. The next trustees meeting is scheduled for 1 p.m. June 4 in the fire/rescue station. At that meeting, trustees are likely to vote on a contractor to excavate and provide work on lift stations and tie-ins for sewers. The cost is likely to be $36,136.

He plans to learn the application process better to reapply for similar grants next year. “It was an 11th hour effort this year,” he said. “I learned a lot and we’ll be better prepared to apply next year.” In other business, the trustees discussed the need to replace deteriorating Russell Township signs located on township property near the corner of Chillicothe and Kinsman roads.

In addition, the group takes individual donations and sells memberships, according to its website. “All of our buildings are not in the best repair and the monies to re-locate and restore them are considerable,” she told trustees. “We had $1,300 left in our bank account at the end of the year.” Mula said a volunteer who has provided free snowplowing will no longer be able to provide that service, which will add to the group’s budgetary needs. “If you could give us some consideration, we’d greatly appreciate it,” she concluded. Trustees, who later said they are facing a $300,000 budget deficit this year, were non-committal about Mula’s request. “It was a good presentation,” Trustee Bud Kinney said.

CHESTERLAND NEWS

GUEST COLUMNIST Dear West Geauga Residents, I have done much thinking and discussing while reaching out to the community over the last month. First of all, to the students, I apologize for the class sizes, the pain, the abandonment you feel and the letters Mr. Palmer’s group sent out last weekend. It was my understanding this was to all be reviewed at a meeting before the letters went out. Adjustment could have been considered and I wanted to consider these adjustments for fairness within the regulations. I am not trying to attack or be defensive, but to rather move to a positive position for the students. There seemed to be members of the community against my running as comments were made like, “What does he know about education?” I spend much of my day counseling children/students, but I do not proclaim to be an educator. Unfortunately, some see me as interfering when I offer my patients suggestions. I have not demanded anything of the school for my patients other than giving them options and encouraging them to understand their learning issues. I am not an expert, but when did a pediatrician with 26 years experience stop being an education team member? Who knows the student from a different perspective (medical, emotional and family history)? I was not against open enrollment nor was I for closing Lindsey School as another board member implied in an article. I was for a discussion on the best size for the school system. I feel people labeled myself and others, for or against. Interestingly, as in the Burgess and Burgess reports, I was in the middle to higher number mind set. I am writing to you without speaking to any board member and only with my mind and heart as I have read many of the posts on the email site for the open enrollment students and their families. This site shared hundreds of emails of all the open enrollment students sent from the school. There were many posts of times people

applied, some family members getting in and others not and even an 11th- or 12grader (one) not let in the school system. There were existing students who might have to move not let in even though they would live in the nearby area. I am profoundly moved by their passion and love for the West G school system as I was when the students presented at the board meetings. I was proud of the students. It takes a village to raise children/students, but all are members in the process. I understand some would like a smaller village. There were/are issues on both sides of the debate as to the board and administration. I apologize for not moving the ship, (even though I attempted for the 9th and 10th), because of the timeline pressures and the delayed Burgess and Burgess report. I am sad to see the community going through this and seeing one sided information floating around. Many people have agendas and I want the main agenda to be the students and the school system. I am proposing coming up with a way to look at what is in the best interest for the 2014 students, families and teachers as yes, even teachers’ children were removed without our awareness. I welcome opinions and openness to the new board member selection. I find it interesting that the activist groups against the board have not discussed the students and the actual numbers, but rather have focused on criticizing the board. I ask the community to work to make the best decision for the students with the administration and the board to reverse this burden placed on our children. We have time to make changes, but we are losing time to heal the wounds. We need to move forward to help these students fulfill their dreams and desires for a great education surrounded by a team of adults working for a common cause. Thank you for your time. I appreciate all feedback.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Thank You Chesterland Chester Christian Center A/G Church would like to thank the Chesterland Post Office and all the residents of Chester Township who participated in the annual “Stamp Out Hunger” food drive that was headed up by the National Association of Letter Carriers. Because of the generosity of the residents of Chester Township, the Chesterland Post Office was able to supply the Chester Christian Center Food Pantry with many non-perishable food items that will in turn be given back to those in our community who are in need of food. Thank you Chester for giving back to the community.

urge the remaining four members of the School Board to make and pass a motion at their next meeting, to undo the damage they’ve done at their last meeting to the School System, the community-at-large and Superintendent Palmer. Palmer should be returned to his position as Superintendent and his contract should be extended. He should also get an apology as part of that motion. Mr. Nutter should be released from any further role at West G. There simply is no need to incur the expense. There never was any need. I just hope his contract hasn’t been finalized or approved. I also strongly urge that the vote by the Board to do so be four to none.

Undo the Damage It was with great relief I met the news this morning that Michal Kilroy was leaving the West Geauga School Board. Never in my long-standing lifetime as a Wolverine, have I seen a more divisive figure in this school system. Nor have I seen the Board engage in a more shameful episode as last week’s “reassignment” of Superintendent Geoffrey Palmer. While it may be too late, I strongly

came from the director (Adams).” After the meeting, Spidalieri said he understands the commissioners do not have the authority to fire Adams because the MHRS board hires the CEO. Only the board would have the authority to fire him, he explained. The MHRS board determines salaries — which are reflected in the annual budget reviewed by the Geauga County Auditor’s Office — and approved rolling raises for Adams in 20 13 from nearly $112,0 0 0 to nearly $154,000, according to payroll records. The commissioners have said in previous meetings that they and the auditor have no control over the MHRS payroll. Four staff members who report directly to Adams received raises between 20 percent and 25 percent during the same time period, raises that Adams authorized, Spidalieri said at an April 22 meeting.

The parade will begin promptly at 11:00 a.m. and follow the normal route, south on Route 306 to the West Geauga High School. When entering the school grounds, please use extreme caution because there will be a lot of activity in the area.

Wolverines Run Rampant at CVC The West Geauga Wolverines boys finished as a team in sixth place with 75 points. They were led by a pair of seniors who combined to scored 54 points, winning four individual events and helping to propel the 4x200-meter team to a second place finish behind Aurora. West Geauga senior Paedyn Gomes, who will run for Yale University next year, swept the 110- and 300-meter hurdles. Gomes won both races in convincing fashion — the 110 hurdles in 14.63 and 300 hurdles in 39.64. Gomes advanced to the state meet in Columbus last year in the 110 hurdles, finishing fourth. Fellow Wolverine senior Josh Ebersbacher capped off his CVC career by sweeping the 20 0- and 40 0-meter dashes. He finished sixth and third in those events last year, respectively. West Geauga’s Brittni Mason is only a sophomore, but she already has her

first CVC title, winning the 100-meter dash, and turned in a second place finish in the 200-meter dash. The Wolverines also had a CVC champion in the pole vault event. Audrey Rabe defended her 2013 title

with a 12-foot jump to win the title. Rabe, who recently committed to Liberty University, will look to make a return trip to the state meet. She advanced in 2012 finishing in 10th place. - Jason Baxter

OHSAA OKs Competitive Balance Referendum Staff Report The competititve balance plan that the OHSAA has tried to pass three times has succeeded on its fourth, the Ohio High School Athletic Association said in a news release. After 820 ballots were mailed to high school principals across the state, 737 were returned for a 90 percent turnout. Of those counted the referendum passed 411 to 323 and will become effective during the 2016-17 school year. “On behalf of the Board of Directors and Competitive Balance Committee, I want to thank the membership for having the confidence in this plan and voting to move forward with implementation,” OHSAA Commissioner Daniel B. Ross said. “While passing the plan was a major step and truly exciting, our work is just beginning since the Competitive Balance Committee will continue to clarify any unanswered questions and our staff will put all the wheels in motion to finalize the electronic roster collection system.” In addition to the size of a school’s

enrollment, the Competitive Balance Plan will have new modifying factors that will be applied to students on each roster on a sport-by-sport basis and are based on where the student’s parents reside and/or the educational system history of the student. All schools will be subject to the factors of the formula, which will be applied to students in the sports of football, soccer and volleyball in the fall, basketball in the winter and baseball and softball in the spring. Visit ohsaa.org or the online version of this story for more details. “As we’ve said before, this plan is similar to last year’s, but this version is the result of a compilation of input from our superintendents, principals, athletic administrators and coaches,” Ross said. “I’m most proud that we were able to work together and come up with a solution that will create a better system than we currently have because it looks at how schools secure the enrollment of their students participating in interscholastic athletics.”

CAMPUS CHATTER Emma Cipriani and Drew Humphrey, both of Chester Township, were named to the dean’s list at University of Dayton for the spring semester. Greg Geither, a 2009 West Geauga High School alumnus, graduated cum laude from Case Western Reserve University with double majors, a Bachelor of Science in aerospace engineering and mechanical engineering degrees. He was a

member of the Baja Racing Team, crew rowing team and intramural soccer. Walter Church, of Chester Township, graduated with Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice and Political Science degrees from Heidelberg University. Eric Eiermann and Matthew Molle, of Chester Township, graduated from Mercyhurst University.

Geauga Pianists Perform On May 13, at Hawken School Auditorium, 23 local piano students were featured in their annual spring recital. The selections included many toetapping rhythms, flowing melodies, a Tarantella, played with blistering speed, as well as two duets. For a few of the students, both young and older, this was their first experience with piano performance. The solo performers were: Louka Babic, Rachael Brinning, Haley Caldwell, Brenna Carr, Kaitlyn Carr, Charlie DiFranco, Gianni Fleck, Evan Gardner, Danny Greene, Kara Hill, Maya Hill, Meghan Hren, Amanda Judy, Meizi Kershaw, Dan Kiec, Mark Kiec, Leah Kotheimer, Will Kotheimer, Ethan Kulp, Dane Schinness, Mark Tirabassi, Matthew Tirabassi and Natalie Tirabassi. Approximately 100 guests were in attendance and enjoyed the evening. These solo performances were the highlight of the evening as parents, grandparents, siblings and friends appreciated the accomplishments of the students. The evening was enhanced by the performance of two duets. The participants in these were Dane Schinness and Natalie Tirabassi, performing “Best Friend,” by Dodson, and Mark and Matthew Tirabassi playing “Ragweed Rag,” by Averre. In addition to these performances, awards were given to the students who had participated in the Piano Teachers’ Guild Auditions in April. At that time, 19 students presented memorized programs, with the required scales and chords, in the presence of a visiting judge, Jeanne Hansen. All students received either an excellent or superior rating. An international program consisting of 15 pieces — and these being all Bach pieces — earned Matthew Tirabassi an Early Bach Medal as well as the international medal. Louka Babic and Will Kotheimer earned

BUSINESS The Dog House Pet Column By Christine Nethery My name is Christine Nethery and I live and work in Chester Township. I own The Dog House, a grooming salon since 1991. I’ve always wanted to write a pet column to help people better understand the grooming process as well as little tips that go along with owning a pet.

Why does my dog shake in fear going to the groomers/vet? A very common occurrence in vet clinics and grooming salons around the world. I have heard some owners suspect foul play at previous groomers and after a visit, they were shaking in fear. It’s sad to say that this story is a common one. I know that deep in my heart I can go to bed comfortably without guilt of being rough with a dog.

Lack of Practice

"# ! $

This is merely an opinion of observation in my years of grooming. I do see dogs come in shivering, not wanting grooming and when I get the question, “Why are they shaking?” I can only say they don’t want to be here. Every time they visit me, they get things they don’t like done, like nail trimming, ear plucking, teeth brushing, ear cleaning, dematting, blow drying, nail dremel, etc. The association is negative since they don’t get home practice. Dogs that are handled often, like show dogs or dogs that I work with week, are fully conditioned. The dogs you see on TV dog shows come with hours of practice getting handled by strangers/handlers/ trainers/judges, tails lifted, lips (flews) lifted, stacked, ears handled. It’s very routine and they don’t blink an eye with dremeling their nails, since it’s done weekly, nor shake in fear. It’s about making it positive and practicing. Same concept when going to the vet,

which included pricking, prodding, rectal thermometer, ear medication, etc. I made sure to start very young with our dog by teaching them that vet = treats and nail trims = treats. He loves going to the vet. They give him liver treats, hugs and lots of attention. He forgets about his past stomach surgery, abscess getting drained with a syringe among many other dreaded ER visits.

Projection of Fear Another thing I witness often is when an owner who is nervous about leaving their pup for their short visit unknowingly projects their fear onto their pup. The fear is sensed by the pup, it shivers, which the makes Mom/Dad shiver in a voice saying “Oh no, he’s shaking,” then pulling them back into their arms with more quivering on both parties. As their leaders, they look to us for guidance and structure. If the leader is scared/weary/worried then what message does that leave to your pup? Like with humans, nervous parents are more prone to having nervous children. I see the similarities with dogs and owners just as often. If you feel fully confident and have a good understanding, trust and relationship with your groomer, the best thing to do is be positive and leave with confidence, promptly to avoid moments of fear. I cannot tell you how many times I have to wait until the owner walks out of the door for the dog to stop quivering and walk confidently along side me to the tub. It’s almost like a game of bluff, as if the pup is saying “Darn, they didn’t fall for it ... OK, let’s go to the tub and get started.” When you return, reward with their extra special item (special treats, stuffed Kong or ball). Hopefully they might associate a groomer or vet with one of the most important rewards ever in their eyes. For more information on The Dog House, call 440-729-4007.
