by Charlotte JonS editor@karloveCmedia Com
Community members gathered at Vino Type in Chester Township June 4 to welcome Angela North as the new executive director of National Alliance on Mental Illness Geauga County.
The event, hosted by the local chapter of NAMI, gave attendees a chance to meet North, learn about her vision for the organization and discuss the evolving conversation about mental health.
North, a licensed social worker with a master’s degree in public administration, brings over a decade of experience in mental health advocacy with NAMI to the executive director role, she said during a recent interview.
Her journey with NAMI began in 2015, after which she served as the director of affiliates and programs at the state level with NAMI Ohio, North said, adding although she stepped away from that position due

A graduate of University School and Yale University, Kilroy has demonstrated a strong commitment to advancing education in the West Geauga community. He was elected twice to the West Geauga Board of Education, where he served as

president, and was instrumental in initiating new technology programs in the district. His personal dona-
tions have included iPads, smart boards and computers. The “Kilroy Gate” entrance at Howell Field stands as a tribute to his parents.
Maureen Kilroy has been an active partner in all of her husband’s philanthropic efforts. She recently retired after a 30-year career as a pediatric medical assistant, serving at both University Hospitals and Cleveland Clinic, both here in town.
During a visit to Africa two years ago, the Kilroys were inspired to take action after witnessing the needs of children living outside Nairobi, Kenya. They are currently involved in a project to help build a school there, expanding their dedication to education beyond the local community.
Chester Artist Turns Bedtime Story into Children’s Book
Giannetto Shares Message of Hope & Faith
by emma maCniven maCniven@karloveCmedia Com
Chester Township resident Antonino Giannetto, who used to regale his children each night with bedtime stories he made up, recently decided to turn them into published books.
Now, his children read them to their children.
His first children's book, "How the Hummingbird Got Its Colors," was released on Amazon and in Barnes and Noble last month in the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia.
Giannetto, an artist since age 6, did both the writing and illustrations for the book, he said in a June 6 interview.
He draws every day and uses a variety of mediums for his art, including pastels, oil paint and glass monoprints, he said, adding he won first place in a Gates Mills art show this spring for his piece, “The 12 Faces of Jesus.”
Giannetto, who has lived in
Chester resident Antonino Giannetto holds up his first published book, “How the Hummingbird Got Its Colors,” June 6.
Chester for 20 years, graduated from Lake Catholic High School in Mentor and the Columbus College of Art and Design.
His recently-published book is about a hummingbird overcoming obstacles, he said.
“Darkness overtakes the land as Owl convenes a meeting of all the birds to see who will fly up past the clouds to see if the sun still exists,” the book description said. “The little hummingbird is an unlikely hero to soothe the
fears of all the birds, as the sun had seemingly disappeared forever.”
Giannetto wanted to convey to children that anything is possible, even if they are “too young” in the story.
“(The theme is) no matter if you're perceived as being inconsequential or insignificant or not what people perceive you to be, you could achieve great things,”

Marsha Ann Fischer
Marsha Ann Fischer (nee Colwill), age 88, of Chester Township, passed away peacefully on Dec. 28, 2024, surrounded by her adoring family.
Obituaries
Marsha was preceded in death by her loving husband of over 57 years, Henry “Hank” Blanchard Fischer.
Marsha was the mother of three children and the grandmother of three, and was a gifted teacher, homemaker, gardener and entrepreneur. She was a vibrant, selfless and beautiful woman who was deeply devoted to God, her family and her friends. Her welcoming smile and infectious laughter brought joy to all who knew her.
Marsha grew up in Euclid, Ohio, the youngest of two children. A lifelong Ohio State Buckeyes fan, after graduating from Euclid High School, she went on to earn her bachelor’s degree in education from The Ohio State University.
Marsha thrived at Ohio State, immersing herself in academic and student life. She served as president of her sorority, as a student senator and as a board member of Block “O,” the Ohio Education Association and OSPA, among many other leadership roles and part-time jobs.
Marsha taught second- and third-grade classrooms in the Euclid City School District from 1957 to 1966 while earning her master’s degree in education from Western Reserve University in 1961. She was passionate about her students and dedicated to her profession through countless leadership roles. Marsha was named as a Jennings Scholar in 1964 and received many other recognitions as an outstanding teacher.
Marsha and Henry were married at the Old Stone Church in downtown Cleveland on Aug. 21, 1965, a beautiful sunny day made even more special by the attendance of Marsha’s entire third-grade class. As the newlyweds left the church, they were engulfed by her wildly cheering students flanking their convertible as they drove off. Marsha left a legacy of dedication and love for her students as she went on to start her next chapter as a mother the following year.
Marsha was a devoted and endlessly creative mother. She crafted exciting projects and activities for her children, took them on outings to explore nature, history and the arts, and planned unforgettable family vacations. She lent her artistic talents to school plays, designed games and decorations for festivals, and always found ways to make learning fun.
As a homemaker, Marsha had an extraordinary eye for design. She effortlessly transformed spaces, tackling redecorating projects with skill and enthusiasm. From
painting and wallpapering to sewing drapes and custom-framing artwork, she made every detail of the family home feel warm and beautiful.
Once her children were in school, Marsha returned to education as a substitute teacher in Euclid and Mayfield, eventually retiring in 1998. But long before retiring, she had already embarked on her next adventure—real estate.
A natural-born entrepreneur with incredible business acumen, Marsha turned her home improvement talents into a thriving business of buying, rehabbing and managing single-family residential properties. She hired tradesmen for skilled labor while rolling up her sleeves alongside them doing everything from painting and wallpapering to even shoveling snow, while Henry provided his legal skills to draft and review purchase agreements, leases, etc. By the time of her passing, Marsha had successfully rehabbed 18 homes and was still actively managing her business while keeping an eye on the market for her next opportunity.
No matter how hard Marsha worked on any project, you would always find her without a single hair out of place, perfectly applied pink lipstick and her favorite AM radio talk shows playing in the background. And no matter how busy she was, she would cheerfully greet you with her warm smile and stop to turn all her attention to you.
Marsha was simply extraordinary. She embodied gratitude, faith, grace and generosity, always giving her all and finding ways to serve others. She was a loving mother, a dedicated friend and an inspiration to all who knew her. Her memory will forever be cherished and her legacy will live on in all the lives she touched.
Marsha is survived by her three children, Margaret "Peggy" Jones (Don), William "Bill" Henry Fischer (Christine) and Julie A. Taft (Peter); and three adoring grandchildren, Amanda Joy Burton, Emma Belle Fischer and Simon Henry Fischer.
Marsha was preceded in death by her parents, Robert Cushing Colwill and Dorothy Margeurite (nee Miles) Colwill; her brother, Bob Colwill, and his spouse, Jean Colwill, and former spouse, Dorothy E. Colwill.
Friends and family are welcome to attend a service on June 21, 2025, at 11 a.m., at Christ Presbyterian Church, 12419 Chillicothe Road, Chesterland, followed by a reception to celebrate the beautiful life that she lived. Guests are encouraged to wear bright colors and floral prints.
The family requests that in lieu of flowers that contributions be made to The City Mission or the Salvation Army.
Fond memories and expressions of sympathy may be shared at www.gattozziandson. com for the Fischer family.

to personal conflict, she remained connected to the organization.
Through training previous NAMI Geauga members, North formed a connection to the area that left a lasting impression, she said.
“I just fell in love with the area,” North said. “I am my favorite version of myself in Geauga County.”
When colleagues and friends encouraged her to apply for the open executive director position, it felt like a natural decision, she said.
While she’s had a lot of professional training, North’s commitment to mental health stems from personal experience.
During high school, North and her classmates experienced multiple student suicides and tragic unexpected losses that affected them, she said.
“We were faced with a mental health crisis almost on a daily basis,” she said.
Coupled with her experience as a social worker, those years shaped North’s dedication to mental wellness and inspired her to help others find the support they need, she said.
When asked what a mentally healthy community looks like, North pointed to events like the June 4 gathering as a powerful example.
“A mentally healthy community begins with events like tonight,” she said. “When people show up and talk about mental health, that’s where healing begins.”
North believes open dialogue and collaboration are crucial in reducing stigma, a goal that remains central to NAMI’s mission both locally and beyond, she said.
“Stigma is still prevalent everywhere we go,” she said. “True mental wellness comes
through stigma reduction.”
The executive director has big plans to expand NAMI Geauga’s reach, especially among youth and schools. She believes in early intervention through compassionate, non-clinical approaches that build trust, she said.
“I would love to see us grow in our work with our youth,” North said. “We need to support our young people — period.”
She emphasized the importance of helping students understand that needing help or living with a mental illness is not a personal failure.
Susan Parker, vice president of the NAMI Geauga Board of Directors and a 20-year veteran in the mental health and behavioral health field, echoed that sentiment.
“If we can’t get in front of the kids, we can’t talk to them,” Parker said, highlighting the organization’s ongoing efforts to build meaningful partnerships with school leadership.
North also discussed the upcoming NAMI walk, scheduled for Sept. 20, as an example of how community involvement and mental health can intersect.
The event, organized in collaboration with NAMI Greater Cleveland, is a major fundraiser for the Geauga chapter. All funds raised locally stay in Geauga County, she said, adding sponsors and walking teams are still being sought.
“There is beauty in collaboration to get the word out,” she said. “It’s a fun event. You can get a little exercise and exercise is good for mental health!”
In addition to the walk, North highlighted a variety of programs offered by NAMI Geauga, including “Ending the Silence,” “NAMI on Campus,” “Peer-to-Peer” and “Connections.”
See Director • Page 5
Unlike traditional medical models, NAMI’s peer-led approach focuses on community and lived experience, she said.
“It’s not just classes or programs — it’s a culture,” she said.
Parker added, “NAMI is another mom, another father, someone who has been through it and now wants to give back.”
Geauga County’s rural, tight-knit character can pose challenges when addressing mental health openly.
North acknowledged this, but said she is committed to fostering honest dialogue.
“I refuse to shut up,” she said. “Historically, we’ve been taught to shy away from hard conversations. But we need to stop hushing ourselves.”
She believes persistent, candid discussions about mental health, suicide prevention and emotional wellbeing are key to dismantling stigma.
Parker added NAMI’s strength lies in its ability to break down the conventional, often clinical model of mental health care and in-

stead build peer-led, compassionate support systems rooted in real-life experience.
The executive director position at NAMI Geauga has changed hands several times in recent years, but North believes her history with the organization and her passion for the work will help bring stability.
“Funding and money have played a role in those transitions,” she said, explaining that many services offered by NAMI are not covered by traditional billing due to their non-clinical nature.
However, she believes her long-standing relationship with the NAMI community and her intentional choice to take on this role sets her apart.
“I’ve been with NAMI for 10 years,” she said. “I chose to be here. I want to stay.”
North also knows the emotional demands of the job and is intentional about maintaining her own mental wellness. She finds peace in music, reading, time with her dogs and getting outside, she said.
“Stress is real no matter what your job is or whether or not you have a diagnosis,” she added.
As she looks to the future, North’s message to Geauga County is clear: “I’m really happy to be here. It already feels like home.” Director from page 4

Grendell Elected President of Probate Judges Association
Staff report
Geauga County Probate Judge Timothy Grendell has been elected president of the Ohio Association of Probate Judges (OAPJ) for the 2025–2027 term.

Grendell is the first judge from Geauga County to serve as president of both the OAPJ and the Ohio Association of Juvenile

he said. “For little kids, I think that would be something that maybe they could relate to because people tell them, ‘they can't do this or can't do that,’ or ‘they're not pretty enough or strong enough’ or whatever (and) the character of the hummingbird overcame all of that (in the story).”
Giannetto also wanted to show children how beneficial it is to slow down and take time to observe their surroundings through reading, he said.
The book also aims to provide children with a faith-based outlook, he said.
“I feel it's a bit of a faith-based book because I’m referencing the beauty of God's
Court Judges. He previously served in several statewide and national judicial leadership roles.
“It is an honor to continue to serve Ohio probate judges on the Board of the Ohio Association of Probate Judges, whose mission is to provide continuing education and training for the judges, deputy clerks, court investigators and magistrates of Ohio’s 88 counties,” Grendell said. “ I appreciate and do not take lightly this important responsibility that my fellow probate judges have entrusted to me.”
creation (with the birds in the story),” Giannetto added.
His writing process is simple.
“I'll have an idea and then I just — it's a stream of thought, I just kind of keep writing,” he said.
When writing stories, Giannetto has also sometimes taken on a different perspective.
“As a writer, it's not always about your experience itself,” he said. “Yes, you kind of (put) yourself in other people's shoes and (see) their perspective.”
Giannetto is in the process of working on three other children’s books, including a longer chapter book, which he said is his best work.
He will host a book signing July 6 at Fireside Book Shop in Chagrin Falls from 1 to 3 p.m.
Russell Trustees Recognize Outgoing Road Supt.
Staff report
After servicing Russell Township’s roads for the past 27 years, Road Superintendent Gene Layne will soon be hanging up his hard hat.
“Gene Layne beautifully worked to continue to improve township roads during all the seasons, sacrificing sleep, winter vacations and many other comforts,” Trustee Jim Mueller said during the Russell Township Trustees June 5 meeting.
As of July 1, Layne will officially retire, trustees said.
They unanimously voted in early May to hire Giovanni Maltese to replace Layne beginning July 1.
“Layne has skillfully maintained civil interaction with the residents,” Mueller said. “That's very important when dialogues could have become confrontational and issues difficult to resolve.”
Mueller’s out-of-town friends say the township’s roads “just seem like they are better,” he added.
In other business, Police Chief Tom Swaidner gave details about the upcoming Citizens
Police Academy, which begins in August.
The academy is a free community education program where the department will inform residents on topics related to law enforcement, such as use of force, patrol operations, crime scene investigation, first aid and CPR.
“It's again, trying to get our police officers in front of our residents so they can better understand what we do in law enforcement and better ways that we can serve them,” Swaidner said at the meeting.
The three requirements to join the academy include being a resident of Russell Township in good standing, being over 18 and having no criminal record or pending litigations.
The chief said he hopes the program will bolster relationships between the community and law enforcement.
The Russell Township Police Department is the second department in Geauga County to run a program of this nature, Swaidner said.
The program will run every Tuesday from 6:30-8:30 p.m. for eight weeks. Applications, which are due Aug. 10, can be picked up at the police station. Twelve applicants will be accepted to the program.
