50 years of Serving Russell Township Police Department Celebrates Five Decades By Gwen Cooper

The second annual ChesterFest will return to Parkside Park Aug. 23. Among the vendors, exhibits and activities, the popular mechanical bull will be back.
ChesterFest Plans to One Up Last Year Free Community Event Set for Aug. 23 By Maureen Mooney Going on its second year, ChesterFest — Chester Township’s one and only community picnic, a feel good, free event at the township park — hopes to be bigger and better than last year. Put on by the Chesterland Chamber of Commerce in conjuction with the Chester Township Park Commission, the event, held from noon to 5 p.m. on Aug. 23 at Parkside Park, has become the annual event the community looks forward to. In years past, a small community picnic was held, but the mass quantities of people were missing. In 2013, the chamber trustees met and decided to focus more time and energy to really drum up the event. “Our business community was looking for a way to thank its residents for patronizing them,” explained Wendy Insana, Chesterland Chamber of Commerce office manager. “It’s also a way to showcase our businesses — many people didn’t know a lot of these businesses existed until they were on display at ChesterFest.” Moving the location, gathering sponsors and vendors, meeting with the park board and marketing were all part of the early planning process., resulting in a successful, sunny day

last August, with over 3,0 0 0 attendees. The event matches the chamber’s mission statement, which is “to enhance business opportunities, support and promote the economic well-being of the trade areas and advance the civic and general interest of the community,” according to its website. “This is the chamber’s event, we are here to simply make sure we can accommodate their requests — we are in total support of what it is they’re trying to accomplish,” said Lance Yandell, Chester Township Park Commission member. Last year, the park commission completed general maintenance including cutting, trimming, mulching, fertilizing, as well as provided temporary adequate electricity through generators, so the necessary vendors could perform as needed, Yandell said. This year, the commission and chamber identified where electricity was needed. Following, the park commission met with an electrical engineer from Peerless Electric, who professionally designed a comprehensive study and plan. This new carefully-strategized electrical installation will benefit not only ChesterFest,

Although the Russell Township Police department is marking its 50th anniversary this year, its focus on serving the community has not changed, said Police Chief Timothy Carroll. “We’re here to help our residents, and help to keep them safe and help protect their property,” he said. “We promote safety and prevention programs, and maintain peace and order. It is our commitment to enforce laws firmly, yet with compassion while affording dignity and respect to every individual.” That can mean anything from removing snakes and bats from homes and corralling loose horses in stables to solving burglaries, responding to and investigating auto accidents, or investigating identity theft and an occasional murder. A survey of the police log shows officers have helped stranded residents and other motorists, changed flat tires and opened locked car doors, as well as helped to locate lost pets, children and elderly adults.

Formed in 1964, the Russell Police Department marks 50 years of service to the community.
Officers also conduct property checks for residents when they are on vacation, help to secure open doors and respond to home security alarms. According to the department’s history, it was formed in 1964, but its roots extend back to 1827, when the first election was held in the township. At that time, Alpheus Russell was the first elected constable and tasked with keeping the peace in the township.
Elections for constable were held every two years until 1960, when the township contracted with the Geauga County Sheriff’s Office for full-time police protection with deputies assigned special duties to work in the community. The police station then consisted of an office at the Russell Fire Department. After four years, the con-

Wood Furnaces Can Save Up To 70 Percent on Heating Costs Submitted Energy prices, especially heating bills, have been a growing cause of strain to the American household. As fuel prices fluctuate, prices are still higher than 10 years ago. Wouldn’t it be nice to bring back those low heating costs? Hawken Energy outdoor wood furnaces can help bring heating costs down. An average family or business that has to buy wood can save about 70 percent on heating costs. With free or cheaper wood, cost savings can be even greater. The system works by heating water in the outside unit. The hot water is circulated to a house or other building where an exchanger passes the heat into the existing heating system. Garages and other unheated spaces can also be kept warm with standalone unit heaters. Even pools, hot tubs and

The police station was relocated to a room attached to the Russell Town Hall and the police force consisted of a lieutenant and two parttime officers in addition to the chief. In 1973, the department moved to a building behind the town hall on Kinsman Road, where it remained until 2008, when the police station was built north of there at 14820 Chillicothe Road.

As the next school year is quickly approaching, three senior varsity football players took their coaches’ advice to always serve. Gus Azusenis, Max Kucera and Alex Concilla went to the Gridiron Club asking for help in organizing a youth camp for inner city kids. Bringing Andrew Cassese on board, the four worked with the Gridiron Club and other players and families to organize the event. Aug. 1 was an awesome day for West Geauga High School football as 11 players — Alex Concilla, Andrew Cassese, Gus Azusenis, David Wolfhope, Abdul Levy, Ryan Flynn, John Belcher, Shaquan Bailey, Joey Fornaro, Joey Daddario and Nick Paros — spent the afternoon teaching and playing football with approximately 50 kids from the

Boys and Girls Club in Cleveland. West Geauga players took charge by showing the boys practice drills just as the coaches have instructed them over the years. They spent time doing fun drills with the kids, as well as teaching them football fundamentals. Each camp participant received a Wolverine Youth Camp T-shirt and most received a pair of cleats donated by players and families from the West Geauga High School football team and the Chesterland Lions Club. The Boys and Girls Club has more than 600 children from age 7 to 17 come through their doors every year. The club provides a safe, fun environment for many children to go to play and learn and is funded strictly by donations. It was a great time for everyone as there were smiles all around. The players would like to continue working with the club and hope to have members attend a game at West Geauga High School as their honored guests. They are also hoping they can make this a yearly event and develop a tradition of giving and receiving for both the Boys and Girls Club and West Geauga football. The players would like to thank helpers Mary Jo Cassese, Tracy Wolfhope, Michelle Rhodes, Chris Concilla and Troy Kucera.

St. Anselm Parish invites you to take a deeper look at whether or not following Christ as a member of the Catholic Church is in your best interest. You’re invited, along with other family members or friends who are searching, to a series of get-togethers called “Inquiry”— with no strings attached — to see what it means to be a part of the
Catholic community, what they believe and how they try to faithfully live it together, becoming what God, in His goodness, intends. Conversations begin Sept. 3, but it would be helpful to hear from interested individuals well before that. Several inquiry sessions in September and October will follow, all on Wednesday evenings. For more information, call Jean Fitzgerald at 440-729-9575.
GARDENING ChesterFest and Monarchs The monarch butterfly is familiar to most in North America with its large size and orange and black wing pattern. You’re more likely to see this lovely creature if you have milkweed in your garden. Monarchs lay their eggs on the leaves of the milkweed plant and the larvae, or caterpillars, feed on milkweed. The Perennial Gardeners of Chesterland want everyone to know the monarch is struggling. Its numbers have been greatly reduced in recent years by the effects of inclement weather, loss of
habitat and lack of milkweed. Do something positive to improve the plight of the monarch. Visit the Perennial Gardeners booth at ChesterFest Aug. 23 from noon to 5 p.m. at Parkside Park, learn more on these beautiful creatures. Milkweed plants and seed packets will be free, along with activities for children. Plant the long-blooming perennial this year or start plants from seed this winter as a family project. The Perennial Gardeners are grateful for the sponsorship of Estate Landscaping.

WG Grad Doing Research for Medicinal Herb Garden

Submitted Most students staying on Hamilton College’s campus over the summer are pursuing research in their field of study. Carly Poremba, a graduate of West Geauga High School, is embracing the breadth of opportunities offered by the college’s open curriculum. The daughter of Mary and Fred Poremba, of Chester Township, Poremba, a rising senior at Hamilton, is pursuing an Emerson Foundation research project, “Horticultural and Historical Exploration of Botanico-Vegetable Medicine.” She is a neuroscience and creative writing double major. Poremba is working with Silas D. Childs Professor of Biology David Gapp to create a medicinal herb garden based on the practices of the Native Americans and the Shakers. She is tending the portion of the Community Farm that was formerly the 1812 Garden, a living archive of the crops grown at Hamilton during the time of its founding. Since Hamilton’s bicentennial in 2012, the Garden had been largely left to its own devices; that is, until Poremba approached Gapp about reviving the plot. Although she categorized her previous experience gardening as “minimal,” Poremba had done some work at the community farm before as a member of the college’s Co-Op. It was through this work that Poremba first met Greenhouse and Invertebrate Care Technician and Community Farm Supervisor Hillary Joy Pitoniak. Pitoniak has extensive knowledge of herbalism and has been an “invaluable resource” for Poremba’s project. “Something important I learned is that not every weed is a weed,” Poremba said. Many of these so-called “weeds” have medicinal purposes, making it difficult to determine what to take out and what to leave. She hopes to build her own living archive of medical herbs and plants in order to educate community members about what’s growing around them, a skill she considers to be “fun and important.” Poremba has been relishing all the time out in the sun, ”playing in the dirt,” and her work up until now has focused primarily on getting the garden in order; however, her project also contains a significant research component.

SUBMITTED
Carly Poremba is a senior at Hamilton College.
The second half of it focuses on the nuances of Shaker lifestyle and the influences of the Oneida community on the Shaker ideologies of medicine and farming. While medicinal herbs had been used for millenniums before, modern herbalism was founded by the Shakers in response to “heroic medicine,” such as bloodletting and intestinal purging. Drawing on indigenous knowledge, the Shakers soon adopted companion planting, notably the “three sisters” method: planting beans, corn and squash together to help each other grow. Through her research, Poremba has found some debatable ideologies as well, such as the Doctrine of Signatures. Citing lungwort as an example, she explained that if a plant’s shape resembles a body part, it will have positive effects on that extremity or organ. Although it still holds sway in some herbalist communities, Poremba herself doesn’t place much stock in the doctrine. She will continue her research with the help of Christian Goodwillie, the director of the Special Collections and Archives at Burke Library. She will be using the library’s resources to find primary sources of Shaker medicinal practices, Oneida farming and healing traditions, and the interaction between the two. Poremba spent the past semester participating in a comparative study of climate change, which brought her to Vietnam, Morocco and Bolivia. She is thrilled to be gaining hands-on experience, and is looking forward to connecting with this region through its rich history and practices.
