Road Crews Caused Flooding, Resident Claims Township Agrees to Investigate Alleged Property Damage By Diane Ryder

SUBMITTED

Joe DiLalla is the new West G girls varsity soccer coach.

West G Taps Familiar Face As Coach By Jamie Ward Like many parents, Joe DiLalla began coaching soccer when his kids, Kayla and Joey, began playing soccer. Now, DiLalla has peaked at Chester Township’s highest level, being named the West Geauga girls varsity soccer coach for the upcoming season, also Kayla’s freshman year. “She wanted to play,” DiLalla said of Kayla when she was 8 years old, “and they didn’t have a coach.” “We are excited that Joe will be taking over our girls soccer

Herrick Drive resident Gary Temple told Chester Township Trustees Thursday he wants to borrow a backhoe to correct flooding problems he claims the township caused. “There’s now a flooding problem in my yard due to the inept Chester Road Department and the runoff they created,” said Temple, referring to recent work road crews did to prepare a lot trustees are considering for relocating the recycling center. He added he is a former contractor. The township has been preparing the surface of a 0.64acre lot it owns on Herrick Drive, adjacent to Miss Pat’s Daycare Center, for interim use as the township’s recycling center. The move came at the recommendation of the township’s recycling committee, which committee Chairman Ken Mantey said needed to be done as soon as possible after a township vehicle crashed into a resident’s car recently at the current recycling center site on Parkview Drive. Mantey said the location

was dangerous because of its proximity to the police and fire departments as well as the park. Last month, several Herrick Drive neighbors protested the move, citing noise and increased traffic in their residential neighborhood, as well as safety issues with heavy vehicle traffic next to the daycare center. Thursday night, Temple told trustees the road department has added gravel to the lot’s surface and dug a ditch that has changed the natural flow of water, bringing flooding onto his property and into his garage. “Those boobs added 12 to 18 inches of gravel and changed the slope of the lot to run directly onto my property,” Temple said. “For a hundred years it worked well.” Temple said the township road crews dug a ditch three times in an unsuccessful attempt to channel the water away from Temple’s property. “I took a shovel, went next door and dug through the crap to open it up,” Temple said. “They expect it to drain uphill.” Trustee Ken Radtke told Temple the changes were necessary to prepare the surface of the lot for heavy equipment. The township has used the lot for many years for road material storage.

Animal Communicator Credits Cherokee Heritage for Her Talent By Ann Wishart Like most businesspeople, Doris Straka trades on her talent, but it is clear she isn’t in it for the money. “The animals don’t have enough voice,” said the Kirtland resident — and animal communicator — who has traveled far and wide to help a diverse group of critters explain why they do what they do or where they hurt. Sitting in a screened-in porch by her house on Chardon Road, Straka, in her late 60s, has been communicating with reptiles, birds and mammals since she can first remember.

“In order for equipment to be on that property, we needed to build a base,” Radtke said. Trustee Bud Kinney added the base needed to be level. “It’s for whatever equipment we decide to put on that property,” Kinney told Temple. “It will be heavy. If you put heavy equipment on it, it will definitely sink in the soft ground.” Kinney added Temple’s driveway encroaches on the township property. Kinney asked Temple if he would like a dead tree removed from his property. “That tree has no bearing on this; it’s completely irrelevant to this problem,” Temple replied. “You’re changing the focus. Water’s not going to go down a ditch that runs uphill. You give me a laborer and a backhoe and I’ll fix it.” Radtke said there has been a lot of rainfall and wet weather lately and he would discuss the issue with Road Superintendent

Herrick Drive resident Gary Temple tells Chester Township Trustees he believes the township is causing flooding problems on his property.

Animal communicator Doris Straka holds her box turtle, Ida George, and one of her two cats, Cashmire, on her porch in Kirtland. Straka travels around the country to help people understand their animals. Often, the message she gets from pets is ‘Don’t screw this up – I’ve just got these people trained,’ she said.

He told Temple the township has been attempting to put a berm in to form a barrier between the property and Temple’s driveway and garage. “They don’t know what they’re doing,” Temple said. “I request an outside contractor.” Radtke thanked him for his comments and asked whether anyone else had a question. “What about the contractor?” Temple persisted. “We have no plans for that; I will talk to Rob,” Radtke replied. After the meeting, Temple said he has consulted the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency, the Geauga County Soil and Water District, the Geauga County Planning Commission and is considering filing a lawsuit against the township. “A civil suit will stop them in their tracks,” Temple said. “I don’t know what else to do.”

Stay Safe and Legal with Fireworks Chief Mark A. Purchase Chester Township Police Department The members of the Chester Township Police Department will be once again stepping up enforcement in regards to fireworks violations and I am urging our residents to consider the safety and legal consequences of possessing and/or igniting fireworks in Chester Township. I encourage everyone to enjoy their summer safely, by attending licensed fireworks displays. Q: What kinds of fireworks can be lawfully set off in Ohio? A: Only “novelty and trick” fireworks, such as party poppers and glow worms can be discharged by unlicensed individuals. Section 3743.01 of the Ohio Revised Code defines these novelty and trick items as follows: Devices that produce a small report intended to surprise the user, including, but not limited to, booby traps, cigarette loads, party poppers, and snappers; snakes or glow worms; smoke devices; trick matches.” Q: Can traditional firecrackers and roman candles be set off by unlicensed individuals in Ohio? A: No. Traditional firecrackers, roman candles, bottle rockets and similar items are all classified as “consumer fireworks.” Individuals may buy “consumer fireworks” from an Ohio licensed retailer, but they cannot be discharged in Ohio and must be transported to another state within 48 hours of purchase (72 hours if the buyer is not an Ohio resident). Consumer fireworks are regulated as “1.4G Fireworks” by the U.S. Department of Transportation. Individuals over the age of 18 may purchase them, but must sign a form certifying the purchaser will transport the fireworks outside of Ohio within the required time.

#

Q: What about M80s, cherry bombs and other powerful devices? A: They may not be discharged or even possessed in Ohio without a special license. M80s and similar devices are so powerful they are classified as “explosive devices” instead of “fireworks.” In Ohio, it is illegal for anyone to even possess any explosive device without a special license. Since 1976, the U.S. Consumer Products Safety Commission has restricted all “1.4G Fireworks” to no more than 50 milligrams of powder, with three- to nine-second fuses. Q: Are there criminal penalties if individuals violate the fireworks law? A: Yes. First-time offenders are normally charged with a first-degree misdemeanor. If they plead guilty or are convicted, they can be sentenced to up to six months in jail, and also fined up to $1,000. A subsequent conviction is a fifth degree felony, potentially punishable by a prison term of up to one year.

Q: On the 4th of July, who may set off the large fireworks displays? A: These aerial shells, known as “1.3G Fireworks,” can only discharged by a licensed exhibitor with a local permit. The permit must be approved by both the local fire chief and the local chief law enforcement officer, after the exhibition site has been inspected using an Ohio Fire Marshal checklist. The Fireworks & Explosive Unit of the State Fire Marshal has issued licenses to about 504 exhibitors in Ohio, who must take six hours of training on fireworks laws and safety every three years, and must review this information annually with their employees. These exhibitors employ about 1,240 registered assistants who are allowed to assist in discharging the fireworks at the discharge site.

Communicator from page 1 but the first time she was able to help a suffering butterfly really sticks in her mind, she said. “I went inside and told my grandmother the butterfly had a tummy ache,” Straka recalled. Her Cherokee grandmother poured water and honey in a bottle cap and sent her out to feed the insect. Once it had its fill, it flew away, no longer starving for nectar, she said. Although the rest of her heritage is Scotch-Irish and English, she said her grandmother recognized her as a “seer,” one who can talk to animals, ghosts and spirits. Native Americans have more respect for the talent, which Straka believes is natural to many young children. She describes her communication as telepathic, revolving around mental images she receives from her clients. The connection between Straka and the animals seldom fails her and, if there is a health issue, she is able to advise the animal’s human on what to suggest to the vet, farrier or animal chiropractor. Northeast Ohio, loaded with pets and horses, is rich with conversation for Straka. She drives her grasshopper, with “Animal Communicator” on the bug shield, to Northfield Race Track where she helps trainers find out why their racehorses are having issues.

Scared Filly to Champion Sissy, a two-year-old standardbred filly, is the star in one of her favorite stories. Tim, a trainer, asked Straka why the young horse was freaking out in the barn aisle, Straka said. Her eyes were huge

Finally Straka discovered that, the day before, the trainers — currently lounging on tack trucks and smirking at her — had thrown the high-strung filly to the ground and sat on her head to get the harness on her for the first time. And they were ready to do it again when the stable’s winning gelding, Homer, went by the barn harnessed to a sulky. Straka saw Sissy’s interest in the other horse. “Let me try. We can do this,” Straka said. “She really wants to do what Homer’s doing.” As she calmed Sissy and slowly described the harness and the process to the filly, the crowd faded away. She and Tim were able to attach the harness, piece by piece, Straka said. Sissy even lowered her head for the headset that Straka told her was an Easter bonnet. “I just put it on her like it happened every day,” she said, adding Sissy became the most winning trotter in the stable, going on to win the Little Brown Jug in New Jersey, one of the most prestigious races in the U.S. Tim called Straka on the phone after the race and let Sissy talk to her. “‘We done it, we done it!’” Sissy communicated to Straka. Straka wasn’t surprised to get a call

Sponsored by the West Geauga Kiwanis Club, The Kelly Miller Circus show is a two-hour, energetic, spectacle with world-class, talented circus stars from around the globe, including Rebecca Ostrof, who was the aerialist in “Water for Elephants.” Arrive at West Geauga High School at 8 a.m. July 18 for a free explanation of the Circus, their routines and watch the Big Top go up.

Performances are at 4:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. If possible, come to the earlier show, as it tends to be less crowded. The circus does have animals: three elephants, one of which helps raise the Big Top, some camels, llamas, a number of rescue tigers and even more rescue dogs. All of these talented animals are treated well and perform similarly to your dog or your horse, but with a greater variety of actions. People have commented about the cleanliness of the circus, the condition of the animals and the friendliness of the personnel; they are first-class in all they do. Although some circuses have bad reputations, which somehow get applied to all circuses, not all of them are bad nor do they all treat their animals (or people) inhumanely. The Kiwanis Club has reviewed this circus and some others believing that the Kelly Miller Circus, under John Ringling North II, lives up to strict standards and does their best to adhere to the intent and letter of the regulations of the USDA.

program,” said Athletic Director Joe Cardiero. “He has an understanding of our girls being the junior varsity coach the last two years and living in the community.” The DiLalla’s have lived in Chester for 10 years. After coaching traveling soccer, DiLalla co-coached the JV team before becoming the head JV coach last year. The Wolverines are currently prepping for the season with practices run by the team’s upcoming seniors and captains. Two-a-day practices will begin the first week in August, and DiLalla is unsure if the Howell Field turf project will interfere with the season. The new field turn is scheduled to completed by the third week of August. “That’s only if everything runs on schedule,” he said. DiLalla will restructure the program, focusing more on offense than defense, like in seasons past. The Wolverines will tweak their formations in that effort to score more goals.

Independence Day - Did You Know? The Fourth of July has been a federal holiday since 1941. Though that may seem like a long time for the country to wait to celebrate the independence it declared in 1776, the tradition of the Fourth of July, often referred to as Independence Day, dates back to the dawn of the American Revolution and the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776. Since then, July 4th has been recognized as the dawn of American independence, and celebrations that included fireworks and parades can be traced back to the 18th century. On July 4, 1777, the city of Philadelphia, which would become the first capital of the United

Parks

States of America, held the first annual commemoration of American independence, and exactly one year later George Washington ordered that all of his soldiers be offered double rations of rum to commemorate the anniversary. In 1781, Massachusetts was the first state to make July 4th an official state holiday, and the day was actually declared a federalholiday by the U.S. Congress in 1870. However, that declaration did not grant a paid holiday to federal employees. That benefit came in 1941, which is why that year is now recognized as the first year when the Fourth of July officially became a federal holiday.

from a horse — she first discovered she could help animals, long-distance, when she was 14, she said.

A Turtle’s POV Seeing the world from a turtle’s point of view is common for Straka, who claims the turtle as her totem animal. From her first reassuring message from a large snapping turtle when she was 2 to present day memos from her rescued box turtle, she has found it is a bad idea to ignore the turtle-sent images. “I get good messages from turtles and warnings. Their pictures are very clear,” Straka said. She collected her resident box turtle, Ida George, out west. Her shell had holes from bird talons and her spine was cracked when Straka scooped her out of the path of oncoming traffic. Straka told Ida George she needed a vet and the turtle agreed. “She came home in a Krispy Kreme box,” she recalls, adding she has free range of the house. Horses and dogs are her most common conversationalists, but she knew a snake named Summer, a feline who believed its name was Damned Cat and a gray Amazon parrot who was suicidal because it needed more cuddling from its new owner. Then there was the depressed hedgehog sulking in the corner of its aquarium. When called upon to discover why the previously cheerful pet was unhappy, Straka learned from the hedgehog the living room furniture had been rearranged, blocking his view of the television set. That episode ended happily for all parties, she said. Sometimes solutions are painful. An animal is so sick or injured it has to be

)

Finding the Spiritual Chip Straka counseled re-homing a German shepherd who didn’t totally fulfill its owner’s expectations as a replacement for his predecessor, although he looked the same. The human called to say he’d come to the end of his tether because he didn’t have the same connection with the new dog. “We found him a different dog that’s crazy for him,” she recalled, adding the feeling is mutual. She calls that human-animal connection a “chip.” “There’s not always that ‘chip,’” she said, where the animal has a chip of the human’s soul and he or she has a chip of the animal’s spirit. It is a natural, wonderful symbiotic relationship that requires an open mind and heart on both sides. “You can’t make one do it,” she said. Straka believes most people are born with the ability to understand, to some degree, animal communication, but lose it to the social norm. “We have educated ourselves a little bit past it,” she said. It makes her ability more special and useful to many people and animals. “It’s a labor of love,” Straka said. Straka’s phone number in Kirtland is 440-256-1245.
