‘Keeper of the Cane’ is Keeper of Chester Memories Roy Ditto is 22nd Owner of Local Treasure By Josh Echt
JOSH ECHT/CN
Roy Ditto and his wife, Phyllis, with the legendary cane. The couple said they love Chester Township and have lived in their current house since 1953.
“I’ve lived here my whole life,” said Roy Ditto of Chester Township. The 93-year-old going on 33 is sprightly as ever, his eyes dancing as the years roll back and he talks about the township’s history. “Why is Mulberry Road named as such? It’s named that way because a nearby 214acre farm wanted to raise silkworms and you need mulberry trees for that to happen,” he said. Last Wednesday, he and his wife, Phyllis, reflected on the township and how it has changed over the past century. Roy is the most recent recipient of the “Keeper of the Cane,” an honorary cane paying tribute to the township’s elders. He showed off the cane, of which he is the 22nd owner. The keeper holds the cane as long as he or she is alive, said Chesterland Historical Foundation President Judith Schwed.
Schwed said the cane contains the cane-holder’s name, birthdate and death date on a silver ring at the top. The cane also features names of the 21 past cane-holders, painstakingly inscribed into the silver surface.
A Tip and a Nod to Tradition On Aug. 27, 1927, Sipha Patterson, then the oldest resident of Chester Township, celebrated her 90th birthday. Her grandnieces, Blanch Downey Page and Ruby Downey Petersen, presented her with the cane as a birthday gift. After Patterson died, the cane wound up in the hands of Parley Sherman, who passed away in 1929. For the next 60 years, the Petersen family carried on the tradition until the Chesterland Historical Foundation accepted responsibility of hosting this community tradition in 1985, Schwed said.

Delightful Daylilies Display Retirement Hobby Treasure By Ann Wishart Thousands of daylily blossoms joyfully celebrate summer in Ethel Wilcox’s yard. From the low post and rail fence along Parker Drive in Chester Township to the rear of her 1.3-acre yard, the Wilcox daylilies bloom in a vast rainbow of colors in 12 neat, enormous beds. July is prime time for daylilies, whether they bear the registered names of the pale yellow Lady Fingers, the bright red Lusty Lealand, Declare the Glory with its ruffled apricot petals or Tooth in its royal purple. As the warm sunlight hits them each morning, they start to unfurl yet another flower to brighten the day. To some, the term “daylily” might mean the bright but nondescript orange ditch flowers that color summer roadsides, no matter how wet, dry, warm or cool the summer evolves. But to Wilcox, each of the elegant daylilies in her yard is a

silent old friend bearing fond memories of the retirement hobby she and her late husband, Bob, embarked upon more than 15 years ago. “When he retired, he started with the daylilies,” she recalled while strolling around the colorful, well-mulched beds last Friday. “He did a lot of the rock work.” Flat stone paths wind through most of the beds, providing easy access to the many perennials and adding an artistic flare to the randomly-shaped plots of flowers. By the driveway entry is their display garden recognized by the American Hemerocallis Society. In the back yard are her Chinese and Mexican theme gardens. Hibiscus, crocosmia, various trees and shrubs and, apparently, every variety of hosta ever grown, add to the variety of colors and textures. A coy pond, benches, birdhouses and fountains provide beds with focus and atmosphere.

Park District Offers a Rare View of Bats at Twilight Dwindling Numbers Plagued by White Nose Syndrome Found in Rock Shelters By Gwen Cooper You may go batty after attending Dan Best’s upcoming annual twilight bat encounter program. Best is a naturalist with the Geauga Park District. He lamented it may be one of the last times people can experience the thrill of watching dozens of bats flying out of the wooden hibernarium, or bat nursery, structure at dusk. “We really don’t know what to expect,” he said of the event, which is from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. July 31 at the Bat Colony station on the grounds of the South Newbury Union Chapel on state Route 44. “At the rate the population is declining, this could be the last year we will seen any,” Best added. In 2013, Best’s program featured a spectacle of hundreds of bats emerging from the structure for a night of feasting on insects such as moths, flies, mosquitoes, Japanese beetles and other flying beetles in the area. Two years earlier, participants in his program saw thousands of bats. Due to the effects of white nose syndrome — a fungus that is devastating bat populations from New England to south of the Mississippi — bats that hibernate in colonies are dying because the fungus irritates them and wakes them up from their hibernation too soon causing them to starve and be dehydrated. Best said picnic shelters at several GPD properties were used by bats as roosting places for the maternal bat colonies, but not anymore. “They’re all gone,” he said. “Just when we were figuring out how large and diverse our bat population was, it began a rapid decline. We don’t know
SOME FACTS ABOUT BATS • They are not blind, but they do use echo-location to aid in catching flying insects after dark. • They generally do not try to land in your hair. • They won’t bite you unless you try to catch one. • If you find a bat in your house, it is likely to be a Big Brown bat, which tend to be a solitary and use hollow trees as shelter. Simply open your windows and doors and the bat should leave your home. • Bats have a low occurrence of rabies. • If you find one on the ground, don’t touch it and keep pets and children from it. Rabies will cause a bat to be paralyzed and unable to fly. GWEN COOPER/CN
Geauga Park District Naturalist Dan Best uses this illustration to show the public the unique features that distinguish bats as mammals.
what effect this will have on the ecosystem. Bats eat insects that can harm trees and other vegetation.” The Bat Colony at Union Chapel in Newbury is a maternal bat nursery that can hold hundreds of roosting bats and their young. It was constructed 10 years ago by Eagle Scout Alex Bergman of Chagrin Falls Troop 151 to replace a barn on the property that was falling down. Best explained the park system manages the property and delayed tearing down the barn until a suitable structure could be built to house the bat population.
Another area affected is the Ansel Cave trail in The West Woods park in Russell Township, Best said. Bats roost in the cave outcroppings. He said hikers are cautioned from the area to avoid potentially carrying and spreading the fungus to the area on shoes and clothing, which is believed to be how the problem began in caves in Upstate New York. From there, the fungus has spread westward to points past the Mississippi River, killing millions. “It is believed that European spelunkers brought the fungus here with their gear sometime around 2006,” he said. “The fungus is common in Europe, and bats there have adapted to it so it doesn’t affect them. Here, it’s a different story.” Best said nine types of bats can be found in northeastern Ohio, including five cave hibernating ones that are affected by the white nose fungus. Some species hibernate alone and are not prone to the problem. Registration is required to attend the program due to limited parking. Carpooling with family and friends is encouraged.

Cane from page 1 “It’s something special,” she added. On May 23, 2013, Roy took possession of the cane as its 22nd recipient. Schwed said she remembered the event was standing-room only. Relatives flew in from all around the country. “His grandmother, Linda Jacobs, and his aunt, Mary Wicks Ditto, also were keepers of the cane,” said Phyllis, adding she has been married to Roy for 68 years. “Actually, 68-and-a-half,” she joked. Residents nominate candidates, who must be at least 85 years old and a resident of Chester Township for 25 continuous years at the time of their nomination. Upon receiving the honor, the recipient is presented with the cane at a ceremony and reception at the historical village on Caves Road. The village is a 5-acre park owned by the historical foundation, the president added. “Our mission is preserving and honoring the history of Chester Township,” she said. Roy, born in 1921, lived with his grandparents in the center of town after his father passed away in 1929. He met Phyllis, who hailed from Russell Township, and married her in 1946. They lived in Lake Lucerne in Bainbridge Township briefly, then moved to Chester. In 1953, they built their current home and added onto it six years later. He spent most of his life as a carpenter and tradesman. The couple also birthed three children: Peggy Ditto Havlicek, born in 1947, Nancy Ditto Aloi, born in 1948, and Dale

“My garden is predominantly perennials,” Wilcox said, adding she has planted so every season produces bountiful blooms — daffodils in the spring, azaleas in the early summer, hibiscus in the fall. A few annual impatiens and begonias fill spaces where plants have been eaten by roving deer. And, of course, every grouping of daylilies has a neat name sign on the left side. Karen Sue, Green Goblin, Melody Lane and Cosmic Hummingbird are just a few names showing the imagination of generations of daylily breeders. But garden displays as professional as those on the Wilcox property take more than a glance through daylily catalogs and a shovel. “We planted a bed every year,” she recalled. Bob’s background was in electronics distribution and Wilcox taught high school business education and elementary school for 25 years. When they retired, they had a combined history of knowledge and energy to devote to their retirement hobby. To make sure they maximized their growing season, they installed watering systems for each bed. “We have zones for watering — six in the front and six in the back,” Wilcox said. “Everything’s on a timer.” By nature, daylilies are hardy, but they do like cool, damp soil. “They can’t survive without watering,” she said.

One such sale will be held Aug. 23 and 24 at the Geauga Park District’s Penitentiary Glen in Kirtland, where local growers sell extra daylily starts for reasonable prices, Wilcox said. The couple attended daylily clinics over the years and became American Hemerocallis Society exhibition judges, she said. They also dabbled in hybridizing daylilies, a process that entails cross-pollinating two registered daylilies to see what the resulting seeds will produce. An entire bed of seedlings (unregistered daylilies) takes up part of the Wilcox backyard. “My husband and I kept charts,” she said, adding she has friends who encourage her to register some of her seedlings. But, the paperwork to get a seedling registered is daunting, Wilcox added. Regardless, she enjoys the fruits of experimentation in her own yard and showing the occasional group or visitor around her extensive and beautiful gardens. An accessorizing rock, artistically placed among the blooms, highlights a daylily-lover’s philosophy. It reads: To plant a garden is to believe in tomorrow.

Adult Day Services Offers Fun, Secure Place for Seniors
BEST PRICES OF THE SEASON!
UP TO 50% OFF SUMMER CLEARANCE on SELECTED ITEMS!
By Danielle Young Worried about your loved one being home alone while you’re at work? Want to feel reassured that your senior citizen is safe and well cared for while you’re away? Well, there is a service for you right in your backyard. The Geauga County Department on Aging provides Adult Day Services to any Geauga County senior who is in need of “a caring, positive and structured environment during the day due to memory loss, cognitive impairment or Alzheimer’s Disease,” according to the DOA website. To be eligible for the program, the client must be a Geauga County resident, be age 60 or over, and have some kind of diagnosis of a cognitive impairment, such as Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease or dementia of any kind, said Adult Day Service Program Coordinator Vickie Krueger. The services are available from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday through Friday. Transportation can be provided to and from the Chardon Senior Center on Ravenwood Drive via the Geauga County Transit.
It’s an absoluately wonderful program. It gets him out of the house, he gets to socialize. He really, really enjoys it. –Linda Toll The senior center provides the only ADS in the county, though there are other department senior centers, located in Middlefield, Thompson, West Geauga and Chagrin Falls. Krueger said the program was created to let seniors live at their home longer, rather than go to an assisted living facility. It also gives the care providers at home a chance to rest, go to work and get a break. “It kind of serves two purposes. One, it gives respite to the family caregiver, and it also gives the individual a chance

The seniors of the Adult Day Services get to use the social model program to interact with others and to work on social and cognitive skills.

to work on the social, cognitive and physical abilities that they still have,” Krueger said. Kim Jackson, whose mother, Shirley Klassen, has been in the program for over three years, said it is a nice advantage, especially since she is working away from home. “It’s a wonderful place … transportation has been great … it’s reassuring knowing it’s a safe place for her and she is getting picked up and getting home safely,” Jackson said. She said that it seems like her mother’s disease didn’t progress as quickly. “She really enjoys going there. It helps her to continue to socialize, and the interactions and exercise help her,” Jackson added. “I’m really happy with it. They have a fabulous staff.” Clients can come any day of the week for as many days as they want, they just ask that seniors pick the same days each week so they have the same daily group, Krueger said. “A lot of times, they start out one or two days a week and they end up being more like three to five,” she said. “After a few months, they get to like it, they get up and they’re ready to go, and then they don’t understand why they can’t go on a certain day, so then the families just start adding them. When it becomes a routine, they feel safe in a routine, so once they establish that routine, they like to continue it.” Linda Toll, whose father, John Toll, is
in the adult day program, said her father gets upset on days he can’t go because he loves it so much. “It’s an absolutely wonderful program, it gets him out of the house, he gets to socialize, he really really enjoys it,” Toll said. “From my standpoint, it gives me four hours to myself to run errands and do things. It makes him feel worthwhile … I would recommend it to anyone.” A typical day of the “social model” program starts with seniors being picked up between 8 a.m. and 9 a.m. and beginning the day with coffee and socializing, Krueger explained. There are three activities planned each day, at 10 a.m., 11:00 a.m. and 1 p.m., with a hot meal provided at noon, she said, adding events vary from chair activities to group games like Family Feud or Wheel of Fortune, to baking, and arts and crafts. The seniors take an interest survey assessment when they enter the program to find out what they are into in order to help plan activities, Krueger said. The groups all stay together throughout the day, but clients are not required to participate in each activity, she said. “Most of the clients seem to enjoy it, at the end of the day, they’ll be thanking us,” Krueger said. “When we do something, they’re pretty good at saying, ‘Oh hey, I enjoyed that today, that was really nice, I had a really great day today,’ so we get feedback that way.” Some activities are off-location, with smaller groups, such as trips to exhibits

Services from page 8 at Century Village Museum in Burton to journeying to the Spire Institute in Mentor, she said. Between June and October of this year, the program is doing “A Dine Around the World,” with themed visits to a variety of local restaurants, Krueger said, adding there are a lot of activities done together with the regulars at the senior center for special occasions, like big parties and the monthly bingo games. ADS differ from other regular senior centers in many ways. In particular, the program must maintain a 6:1 or smaller seniors to staff members ratio, so there is more one-on-one contact in this program, Krueger said. The program is donation-based, so there is no direct billing to the clients, due to the senior services levy, Public Information and Volunteer Coordinator William Phillips said. A nursing home would be more costly than living at home and going to ADS, Krueger said. There is also a monthly newsletter that goes out with information on events and activities, and it will state how many days the client came that month. Krueger said they get a lot of feedback from families, often saying they really appreciate the extra time. “It’s also a nice respite for the family member, either going to work or needing to get things done around the house or
!
food shopping,” Phillips said. They can also get a break for themselves, especially for spouses of clients, Krueger added. “That downtime is such a necessity, it really is, because you wouldn’t think it would be that difficult, but it really does take a lot out of you,” Phillips said. Dee Satchell, the daughter of Vivian Redmon, who participates in the program, said she appreciates this “very important service,” since she couldn’t afford to send her mother to a nursing home. “It’s a life-saver … I have nothing but good things to say about it,” Satchell said, adding her mother looks forward to the program and it’s very meaningful. Satchell noted the community support for the donation-based program. There are also additional services available to the ADS clients, such as a weekly nurse who takes blood pressure, a massage therapist or a podiatrist. There is even a hair salon-type service where seniors can get their hair done as well as pedicures and manicures, which Phillips said really saves the family member that extra time of taking them to an appointment. For more information on ADS and other services, call the Chardon Senior Center at 440-279-2130.

CHESTER GOVERNMENT UPDATE On July 10, the Chester Township Trustees held a regular meeting. Nick Gorris, of the county engineer’s office, gave a brief review of three options for repairs to Sherman Road, between Caves and County Line roads. The options include full depth repair and patching ($85,000), milling/filling and single layer of asphalt ($230,000) or milling/filling with two courses of asphalt ($300,000). The county does not recommend the patch and repair approach because it is estimated that more than 20 percent of the road requires repair and an overlay would provide a better driving surface and longer durability. There are insufficient funds in the road department budget for 2014 (and 2015) for resurfacing work, so the board and road superintendent will discuss this further. At 7:05 p.m., trustees opened the public hearing on Chester Township’s budget. The numbers as established during the June 26, 2015 budget meeting remained the same except for a
slight modification of proposed pay for two township administrative (nonunion) personnel to be consistent with current bargaining agreements. After some discussion, the public hearing was closed and the board voted to pass the 2015 budget, as amended. The budget was signed by the elected officials and sent to the county auditor on July 15. In December, a motion to adopt the 20 15 temporary budget will be made. This will enable receipt of tax dollars and payment of expenses in the first quarter of 20 15 while the budget is finalized and sent to the county by mid-March 20 15. Adjustments are likely to be made in the 2015 budget as 2014 year-end numbers are finalized and the CER from the county is updated. In other business, meeting minutes were approved and $28,750 was approved payable to Pavement Technologies for contracted crack sealing on various roads. Pavement Technologies was the lowest of three bids received. Trustees passed a motion to authorize the Geauga County prosecutor to initiate necessary legal action for the township to obtain title to a small parcel of land that is part of the “80-acre parcel” on the north end of town. Title to this land was never properly conveyed during the original purchase process in the early 2000s. Fiscal Officer Craig Richter explained procedures that need to be established in receiving donations and establishment of a Law Enforcement Trust Fund that can receive and manage these donated monies. Although the park board was unable to make the meeting, they provided their proposed 2015 budget. The $75,000 allocated by trustees is sufficient to meet their anticipated expenditures in 2015. As a follow-up to the last meeting, the board continues to evaluate options for legal counsel and support for township human resources/labor relation needs. Contact was made with attorney Mike Lucas from Wiles and Richard, who has served some townships in Northeast Ohio. He will be invited to a meeting in the near future. – Submitted by Chester Township Trustees

He was selected as the 2013 Geauga County Touchdown Club Offense Most Valuable Player – Large School. Connor plans to attend Notre
Dame College in South Euclid and pursue a degree in accounting. The Geauga County Touchdown Club was founded in 1992.

WGRC Fall Soccer Registration
Soccer Club is a travel club for boys and girls U8 thru U14 serving West Geauga and surrounding communities. Bryan returns to the WGSC after having coached the West Geauga Girls Varsity Team from 2009-2011, where they won two conference titles, three sectional championships, two district championships and had two appearances in the Ohio Division I State Tournament. Most recently, Bryan has been coaching for the Cleveland Select Premier Team, a highly regarded local Premier Program. Bryan, a teacher at West Geauga High School, has a commitment to young athletes. He feels “coaching athletics is about challenging student athletes to achieve their full potential and guiding them along the path to success, both in life and on the field of play.” The youth of West Geauga could not have a better role model to help as they advance through the program and school. The WGSC has made this commitment to excellence because of the high quality of current players and parents and the desire to continue to grow this very successful club. Bryan will provide additional training to WGSC’s licensed coaches, and continually search for new ways to improve the entire club, both on the field and off.
Registration for West Geauga Recreation Council’s fall soccer program is winding down. The last day to register is Aug 1. The soccer program is open to children ages preschool to eighth grade.

Each child will receive a T-shirt for participating. This is a fun introduction to soccer with one skills session per week for six weeks.

The season consists of practice sessions and games. Practice sessions will teach the fundamental skills of dribbling, passing, ball control, positioning, defense and shooting. Competition for U8 and above will be against other Lake and Geauga County teams. Cost includes a team jersey.
