Windham Township Trustee News
Denise Bly | Contributing Reporter Windham Twp. - The Windham Township Trustees met for their regularly scheduled meeting on November 2, 2017 with all members in attendance. The meeting was called to order and the Pledge of Allegiance was recited before getting down to business. The minutes and expenditures were approved as presented. In roads, Brian Miller said he had researched the cost for a culvert to be placed near the Barker residence. The cost will be less than $500, so it was voted to proceed with the purchase and installation of the culvert. A resident on Horn Road has purchased two culverts and needs the township to install them. The township will coordinate their schedule with the landowner and get them installed. Miller also reported that the salt and grit for the roads are in the shed. In cemetery news, the board looked at several samples of neighboring township’s cemetery rules and regulations. After looking them over, it was decided that they need more information before establishing any new rules. Items they need more clarity on were how to enforce the rules, stone size and type, graveside decorations, etc. It was also recommended that the cemetery workers write the name of the person in the grave on the foundations, so headstones get placed on the right grave. The fiscal officer asked what electricity the township was using at the cemetery, since the bill has increased significantly. Danny Burns will check with the power company and see why it has gone up so much, since they are only running two lights and a refrigerator there. In zoning, the inspector, Joe Pinti, wrote zero permits for the month of October. He reported that the 9088 Horn Road property will be demolished in the four to six weeks. NDS will hold the land for four years and they will also maintain it during that time. Pinti reported that he needs to visit the Gotham Road property and will need a trustee to go with him. Burns said he would be available this weekend to do that. The property owner on Silica Sand Road that received a violation notice has notified Pinti that he has completed the requirements. Pinti will do a follow-up on it. A complaint about a gas well being too close to the property line and out-buildings was received. After contacting the townships legal counsel on the issue, it was determined that currently the trustees have no control over where gas wells are located. Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) handles that. A zoning violation letter will be sent to a landowner about the noisy dirt bikes, citing the nuisance clause in the zoning code as the reason. When something infringes on a neighboring property owner’s ability to enjoy their property, it is considered a nuisance. In the fire report, Rich Gano reported that there were some plumbing issues at the fire station that needed addressing. The water heater needed replacement, new commercial faucet was ordered (old one leaked) and clogged drains needed opening. All issues were resolved. The community message board was progressing. Maplewood did a lot of the work saving a significant amount of money. The cost of the board is being divided up among the school, fire district, township and village. A discussion was held on whether to tape minutes for the meetings. No decision was made on the issue. New business, Brian Miller reported that the 2004 Ford truck will need to be replaced soon. Miller suggested that they start looking for one now. The fiscal officer reminded them that if they decided to purchase a truck, some of the roads they want to do next year won’t be financially possible. With that in mind, they will price out a truck before making a decision. They will also look into whether to sell the old truck or just trade it in. There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned.

International Suicide Loss Day Event on Nov 18 K aryn Hall | Contributing Reporter
The Suicide Prevention Coalition of Portage County is holding an event for survivors of suicide loss on Saturday, November 18 from 1-3pm.

The film shows how those left behind navigate the aftermath of their loved one’s suicide to find meaning and even joy, and takes an intimate look at how their healing journey evolves over time. A group discussion led by Joel Mowrey, PhD, executive director of the Mental Health & Recovery Board of Portage County and local resident Deirdre Svab will follow the screening. The Survivor Day event will be held at the Coleman Professional Services Sue Hetrick Building located at 3922 Lovers Lane in Ravenna. Walk-ins are welcome, but pre-registration is preferred.

Reverse Raffle A Success
Iva Walker | Columnist Going once…going twice…going—to five people?! That was the story of the big finish for the Rotary Reverse Raffle on November 1 at SugarBush Golf Club. The two thousand dollar jackpot finale went to five different ticket holders, each taking home four hundred dollars. Not bad for an evening out! It was an evening of good times, good friends, good food and fun in combining them all. A vast collection of baskets and goods of all sorts, mostly locally-sourced, including a tree and a chain saw and a pecan pie—talk about variety!—was lined up for inspection and ticket-dropping. Virtually every business in town made contributions and many representatives of those businesses were in attendance. Sponsors included: Gold - Middlefield Banking Company Silver - S & K Sales & Service, Mark Brady of McCumbers Brady Realty Group, Superior Insulation Bronze - Ryser Insurance, Sky Plaza IGA, Carlson Funeral Homes & Crematory, Garrettsville Save 4 Store, Diskin Enterprises, Inc., Huntington Bank, LTD Electric, In The Woods Medallion - S.Kim Kohli, Sky Lanes, EllerhorstRussell Insurance, Charles Auto Family, Edward Jones Financial, Ohio Health Benefits The Middlefield Bank also contributed a cadre of smiling volunteers who assisted in keeping events moving along and participators happy with their chances to win. Chuck and Connie Evans managed the ticket table. Tom Collins made like a Wal-Mart greeter at the door. John Crawford employed his outstanding wingspan in measuring out lengths of tickets for the “barrow o’ bottles” available to consumers of adult beverages. GarrettsvilleHiram Rotary president, Amy Crawford took the opportunity to thank local businessmen Pete Kepich, Roger Angel and Mike Payne for their outstanding support of the event and Rotary projects in general across the years (Pete even bought the last ticket to the event to make it a sell-out.). She also described some of the projects—both local and international ( bike racks, roadside clean-up, polio eradication, exchange students, water projects, for example)—which the GarrettsvilleHiram Rotary Club has supported. There was a District 6630 assistant governor in attendance. There were movers and shakers (No Shakers, but one fine Amish couple). Mayor Rick Patrick and his lovely wife, Linette were accompanied by Shelli and Brian Buchanan, new owners of “The Mill”; they were warmly welcomed. Eisle Catering did themselves proud in providing the meal and Hermann’s Pickles were on all of the tables, showcasing another local business. The winner of the pie gets another bonus pie after the calories in the first one have worn off…if they ever do. Make plans for next year’s Reverse Raffle—same time (first Wednesday in November), same place. Better yet, check out Rotary and be part of the whole thing next year.
