A standoff between twoChester Township trusteesresulted in a compromise andopened the gate for use of an80-acre park by the public.

Trustees Mike Joyce andKen Radtke were the only twotrustees able to meet Saturdayafternoon to hammer out thelast of the issues on the 2013township budget, which had tobe approved by the board bySunday.

The meeting, which lastedmore than an hour, was acontinuation of the budgethearing that started at 7 p.m.and went until around midnightThursday.

Funding for the undeve-loped park, located at the northend of the township onChillicothe Road, accounted formost of the discussion onSaturday.

The proposed budget listedthe amount allotted to“improvement of sites — parksand recreation” in the generalfund, which showed $250,000for 2013.

Radtke said there are nodefined plans for developingthe park.

Thursday, he said there areplenty of parks in the county forresidents to enjoy and thetrustees need to keep in mindthe road department is

depending on the general fundfor the paving of roads.

Joyce said Saturday he hashad discussions with membersof the local Lions Club and theKiwanis Club about develop-ment of the 80-acre park.

The Lions may want to builda football field on the propertyand there has been talk about adog park there as well, he said.

Currently, there is a pond onthe property with a dry hydrantfor fire department use, Joycesaid, adding there are “NoTrespassing” signs discouragingresidents from using theproperty at all.

The $250,000 figure is just aguess at what it would take tostart to work and possiblymatching funds when applyingfor grants.

“I don’t know what I do

expect to spend; $250,000 opensconversations. We have itavailable if we need it,” Joycesaid.

He compared its existence inthe budget to being pre-approved to buy a house.

Radtke objected to putting$250,000 into the budget forimprovement of sites for severalreasons.

The planning process forsuch projects takes considerabletime and includes details, coststudies and scheduling, so thelarge amount of moneyprobably won’t be needed forprojects as early as 2013, hesaid.

Also, when the budget issubmitted to the county budgetcommittee, the numbers in itmust be justified, which wasexplained and defended byFiscal Officer Michael Stark,Radtke said.

repeatedly counted ballots withfellow common pleas JudgeDavid Fuhry.

“How somebody couldthrow away his or her vote justshows anger to me,” he said.

The GOP Central Commi-ttee also had to vote to appointsomeone to fill until Novemberthe commissioner seat leftvacant by Young’s June 30retirement.

This time, Claypool wasvictorious, as Samide previouslyhad indicated she did not wantto be considered for appoint-ment to the seat.

More than 50 GOPmembers, most central comm-ittee members, gathered at theMunson Township Hall for thetwo elections, both of whichwere required to be separatelyheld according to instructionsRyder said he received fromstate officials.

In addition to Samide andClaypool, Porter, South RussellCouncilman Jim Flaiz and GOPCentral Committee memberJim McConnell of ChesterTownship were candidates forthe November ballot seat.

Before the start of thevoting, Ryder gave eachcandidate about three minutesto address central committeemembers about his or herqualifications.

As rounds of votingprogressed, Flaiz, Porter andMcConnell withdrew from thecontest.

Samide was defeated bySpidalieri in the RepublicanMarch 6 primary for her currentseat. Regardless, she chose totry and stay in office after herterm expires on Dec. 31 byseeking the GOP’s Novemberballot post.

That didn’t sit well withSpidalieri.

After an early indecisiveballot, Ryder invited Spidalierito speak about his commiss-ioner’s campaign.

Spidalieri said the publicwas critical of a “public distrust”caused by the confusingelection process among Repub-licans seeking to fill theremainder of Young’s term.

“People have come up to mewho are wondering what isgoing on with these commi-ssioners,” he said, adding theDemocratic Party is positioningitself to try to win votes basedupon what is happening withselection of a new Republicancommissioner.

“I am not here tonight toput Mary Samide down. I neverdid during my campaign norwill I in any future time,”Spidalieri said. “My biggest fearthat I have tonight is that MarySamide will be put in tonight. Ifthat happens, we could havethree democratic commissionerselected in November.”

His comments drew outcriesof protest and shock fromseveral people.

“How dare you say that?”one woman said.

At that point, Ryderadmonished Spidalieri.

“I don’t want attacks onother candidates,” Ryder said.“You have something positiveyou want to say, God bless you,I’m happy to have you say it.But please, we have an electionto face in November and wehave to stay together.”

Spidalieri responded that hedid not want to give people thewrong impression by speaking“fairy tales and lies.”

McConnell withdrew afterthe first ballot and urged peopleto support Claypool, who alsohails from Chester.

Flaiz withdrew after thesixth ballot was cast.

Because 50 out of 56committee members were there,they needed a majority 26 outof 50 to break the deadlockunder Ohio law. The magicnumber dropped to 25 as onemember left the meeting.

During breaks in ballotcasting, Samide, Flaiz and othercandidates walked outside andheld private conversations.

Several top Republicanofficials speculated one wouldhave had to drop out and throwtheir support behind the otherin order for the deadlock to bebroken.

At times, committeemembers were angry, while onother occasions they were jovial.

“We should have broughtcots with us. We’re going to behere all night long,” saidsomeone from the back of theroom. “Let get this over with.”

As unrest grew, GOPSecretary and Central Comm-ittee member Roberta Halfordsaid she preferred the candi-date with experience ingovernment, meaning Samide.

Her comment drew jeersand critical comments fromseveral people.

“Geauga needs change,”shouted Geauga Park BoardCommissioner Michael Petruzi-ello from the rear of the room.

But Petruziello and otherscritical of Halford’s commentwere quieted by Ryder, whosaid only central committeemembers were allowed to speakduring the election process.

Samide’s election came afternearly three and a half hours ofvoting.

An emotionally shakenSamide said she had lost countof the number ballots cast, butrefused to drop out of the race.

“Success is how well youdeal with failure,” she said.“Failure is only failure if youquit trying and I wasn’t about todo that.”

After Samide’s election,Ryder closed the meeting and

opened the second meeting toelect a temporary replacementfor Young until the results ofthe November election arecertified by the Geauga CountyBoard of Elections.

Claypool won with 27 votesin roll call vote, handily beatingformer Russell TownshipTrustee Kristina Port, Porterand former Chardon Council-woman Mary Bramstedt.

All had submitted theirnames to the central committeefor the temporary commis-sioner’s seat.

Once again, each candidatewas given an opportunity to talkabout their qualifications.

Claypool thanked suppo-rters for their votes, urging thedivisive Republicans to “cometogether as a party to regain thepresidency and the U.S. Senatein November.”

“But I think there was astrong message presentedtonight. There are people herewho are not happy,” Claypoolsaid. “I hope the centralcommittee realizes there aregood people in this room whodon’t think like other people inthis room.”

He added,“I really hope thatcauses us to become stronger,more open minded and morewilling to sit down and havesome hard conversations so thatwe can become a strong party.Fifty percent of the people inthis room were not happy withthe way things are.”

Spidalieri is beingchallenged in November byDemocrat Christopher JohnLacny. Samide will faceDemocrat Jim Dvorak, aBurton Township trustee.

The Geauga CountyDemocratic Party selectedDvorak last Monday to run forYoung’s seat.

Republican county commissioner’s candidate Ralph Spidalieri is admon-ished by GOP Chairman Ed Ryder after GOP urging Central Committee mem-bers not to select Mary Samide as the party’s November ballot candidate.

Skip Claypool speaks to support-ers as GOP Secretary RobertaHalford listens.

He recommended asking theresidents through a survey whatamenities they would like to seeat the park.

Radtke was supported byformer Trustee Ron Cotman,who recommended trustees putup a fence around the steep-sided, deep pond for safety andget rid of the “No Trespassing”signs so residents can enjoy theacreage.

Cotman also urged trusteesto wait on dog parks andfootball fields until they getfeedback from the community.

“Before you do any of that,you really need to hear from thepeople,” he said.

Chardon Township has beendeveloping a park, phase byphase, for several years and it isshaping up very well, Cotmansaid, offering it as a model thetrustees could use to developpart of the 80 acres.

More than 50 acres of theparcel are dedicated to passiveuse, Radtke said.

Resident Cathy Cotman saidthe survey process, if donecorrectly, would take ninemonths to a year, followed bydrawing up preliminary plans.

2014 would be the earliestactual development couldbegin, she said.

Joyce said he agrees the$250,000 might be too much forthe park board to spend in2013.

“But I’m not in favor ofdropping it to a very lownumber,” he said.

He added he doesn’t have alot of confidence in surveys, butif the board decides to have asurvey, they should be veryinvolved in its creation.

Stark said he hasn’t heardback from the park boardregarding the 2013 budget, but$140,000 to $150,000 wouldprovide seed money for theplanning phase of developmentfor the 80 acres.

There may also be somecarryover from 2012 to 2013, hesaid.

Joyce and Radtke agreed$150,000 for improvement ofparks and recreation in 2013 isreasonable for now and if solidplans for park development areforthcoming by the end of theyear, the figure can becorrected.

“I don’t think we are hurtingourselves doing it this way,”Joyce said.

Medicare and worker’scompensation are projected tobe $277,000 each year.

Trustee Judy Caputo saidwhen the road budget was firstestimated for 2013, it was in thered by $481,000, but afteradjustments, the figures that willgo to the county budgetcommittee show the townshiproad fund will have a positivebalance of $1,200.

In the past, trustees haveused money from the generalfund to pay for improving andpaving township roads, avoidinga deficit situation in the roadbudget, Trustee Mike Joycesaid.

However, there may not bemoney available in the generalfund next year to pave roads, hesaid.

“The road department hasbeen under-funded for sometime,” Joyce said, adding thegeneral fund may not haveenough revenue to subsidize theroad department next year.

“We expect the general fundto drop $1 million next year

because of the loss of taxes.”He specified the township

has been depending oninheritance taxes to helpsupport road projects, but thegovernment will likely nolonger be collecting those fundsas of the end of the year, whichwill be problematic for the roaddepartment.

Former Trustee Ron Cotmanclarified the issue, explainingthat while the inheritance taxlaw sunsets at the end of 2012,there is a nine-month pipelineof funds being collected fromdeath taxes due in 2012.

The township will continueto see estate taxes next year, atleast through the fall, Cotmansaid.

However, resident CathyCotman said there was nothingon the proposed budgethandout showing the roaddepartment will be operating inthe red with road paving beingcovered by the general fund.

“You are allowed a negative(in a budget),” she said, addingthe presence of a negativenumber for 2013 would justifythe trustees placing a new orlarger levy on the ballot.

“I though the budget could

not be in the negative,” TrusteeJudy Caputo said.

Austin explained the onlyplace the township can show anegative is on the budget.

“Because he (the roadssuperintendent) doesn’t havethe money to do what he needto do on Chester’s roads,” shesaid.

In fact, it is the best way todemonstrate the need for a roadlevy, Austin added.

“You have a big levy comingup in 2013 that brings in apiddly amount. It needs to bereplaced,” Austin said.

The figures show theresidents there is a need to passa replacement levy, she said.

“The road department inChester is severely under-funded. Without inheritance tax,the general fund may not haveenough money to carry the roaddepartment,” Austin said, notingthe road department has nothad new levy money for nineyears.

“Going forward, to me, it’slooking ugly,” Caputo said.

Ron Cotman said trusteesneed to have Pealer puttogether figures showing whathe needs for the next four tofive years, adding the generalfund needs the same attention.

“Look at your revenuestream,” he said. “You want thetaxpayers to understand. Thevoters don’t have the sameidea.”

Pealer listed a variety ofdepartment improvements and

equipment needs that arecurrently unfunded, but RonCotman said he is moreinterested in the condition oftownship roads.

“We (residents) havelegitimate concerns,” he said,adding if the voters feel thedepartment seems to haveplenty of trucks and equipment,buying more could be

counterproductive to gettingsupport for a sufficient roadbudget.

“That’s not getting the roadscrack-sealed,” Ron Cotman said.“It’s not getting resurfacing andcrack-sealing done.”

Caputo said if Pealer“doesn’t have the stuff, he can’tget things done.”

“The priority is paving theroads,” said Trustee Ken Radtke.

Joyce emphasized theargument is not a lack ofsupport for Pealer.

Caputo said no one has doneany research on thedepartment’s needs, but shebelieved Pealer’s estimates werebased on his conversations withthe former road superintendent.

Trustees had until July 15 toapprove the budgets and untilJuly 20 to deliver them to thecounty. Thursday’s meeting wascontinued to 2 p.m. Saturday,July 14.

They’re not monkeyingaround when it comes tobuilding playgrounds.

“They” meaning, the WestGeauga Kiwanis Club, theRotary Club, the Lions Club,the Lindsey Elementary SchoolParent-Teacher Organizationand the Businesses SupportingWest Geauga organization.

Those Chester Townshipservice groups as well as othervolunteers, constructed aplayground for special-needschildren at Lindsey Elementaryin Chester Township all daySaturday.

Kiwanis Club President BartAlcorn said the majority ofwork is complete, although finaldirt placement will still takeplace over the next month.

“It will be ready in time forschool starting this fall,” Alcornsaid.

He said the idea for theplayground first developed afterChester Township residentTammy Randall — also aLindsey Elementary PTOmember — shared a story abouther son with Kiwanians severalmonths ago.

Her son, Wayne, has cerebralpalsy and is one of about 25students with special needs atthe school.

At the time, Wayne andother special-needs studentshad difficulty utilizing existingplayground equipment atLindsey, Alcorn said.

“It will benefit thatpopulation greatly and thestudents will have fun,” headded.

Randall asked the KiwanisClub to acquire a special swing

set that could accommodatethose students at the school.

The Kiwanis Club and a neworganization, Businesses Supp-orting West Geauga, came tothe rescue.

That organization is aconsortium of small businessesin the township that help fundschool district-related projects.

The group’s first project wasthe swing set constructed atLindsey, which consisted of anAmerican Disabilities Act-compliant swing and threestandard swings.

After that was constructed,the idea sprung forth to buildan entire playground forspecial-needs students.

Although the swing set hadto be moved to a new locationto comply with constructioncodes, it will complement thenew playground, Alcorn said,adding both the new playgroundand swing set are just south ofthe existing playground at theschool.

It was nice seeing variousgroups came together last week,Randall said.

“The new playground has alot of features to make it safer,”she added.

The $30,000 playground,funded by donations and builtby Meyer Construction ofAkron, has numerous featuresto make it safe and enjoyable.

It is also made out ofrecycled plastics, said MeyerDesign Operations ManagerKen Meyer.

He said the playground hasseveral key features, like a trackride, a climbing rope, bridge,two slides and three rotatinghand-over-hand modules thatimprove overhead strength andcoordination.

Meyer, who also works withvolunteers, said last week’svolunteers “were a joy” to workwith.

“I gave them a drawing andshowed them what to do. A lotof them have constructionbackgrounds and they just knewwhat to do,” he said. “You’d tellthem, ‘This is how you do it.’They’d do it and boom, it’d bedone.”

The volunteers showed up at7:30 Saturday morning.

They started at 8 a.m. andworked through until 2:45 p.m.,stopping after only taking alunch break provided by theBusinesses Supporting WestGeauga.

In all, about 50 volunteersfrom different groups andtownspeople pitched in, Alcornsaid.

Lions Club member DennyFarmer said his organizationwas “more than happy” to helpout with the project.

Over the last month, LionsClub members helped build theplayground’s retaining walls andpoured 30 footers with concrete.

The only thing left to do isto dump and spread dirt andclay, with a 9-inch coat ofplayground mulch on top ofthat, Farmer said.

“Bart asked us to help, so wehelped. It’s a great way to giveback to the community,” saidFarmer, whose background is inconstruction.

Even at a young age, variouschildren pitching in understoodthe significance of theplayground. Like Wayne’s twinsister, Grace.

“I’m going to be happy theyactually get to play on theplayground and they don’t haveto watch us play on thatplayground,” said Grace, whowill start third grade at LindseyElementary this fall.

Her neighbor, 11-year-oldMichele Trexler, agreed.

“I think it was pretty cool. Ithink it’s really importantbecause they get to play,”Michele said. “Grace andWayne live down the streetfrom us and they’re greatfriends.”

Michele’s brother, Anthony,said the project “made himwant to help more peoplebecause it feels great after it’sall done.”

The siblings' mother, KimTrexler, said she was proud of herchildren for understanding the

reason why the playgroundmeant so much to the community.

Michele and her friend, AnnaJadrych, even organized a bakesale at Lindsey Elementary forthe cause, she added.

Michele, who moved fromVirginia Beach several yearsago, said families like theRandalls and members in thevarious clubs have helped herlove Chester Township.

“I’m proud of everyone,” shesaid.

Randall also credited WestGeauga Schools Board ofEducation member Mike Kilroyfor his assistance on the projectand thanked the school boardfor its collective efforts inseeing the project through.

The PTO member saidAlcorn was instrumental inapproaching the various groupsand coordinating efforts so theproject reached completionbefore school resumes.

Without his commitment,“we would not have finishedthis summer,” Randall said.

She added the playground isnot just for her children — it isfor everyone.

“It’s a playground fromwhich everyone and theirfamilies can benefit,” Randallsaid. “To raise a child withspecial needs, you worry a lot asa parent. To live in a communitywhere they care so much aboutthat issue is pretty cool.”

Whether it was a Lion, aKiwanian, a Rotarian orsomeone else, it didn’t matteron that hot Saturday.

“You wouldn’t have knownwhere they were from unlessyou asked them,” Randall saidof the workers. “It was aboutdoing the right thing for thekids. It makes you want to reachout and do more.”

Traffic patterns around thetown hall drove the discussionbetween Munson TownshipTrustees, Geauga CountyEngineer Robert Phillips andArchitect Hank Penttila lastTuesday.

Penttila downsized theparking lot from the originalsite plan and noted the flow oftraffic would be simplified tomake the area covered withasphalt about 25 percentsmaller and less expensive.

The lot will be to the southof the town hall and just outsidethe new lobby, which will be onthe south side of the buildingwhen it is enlarged.

“I think this is very efficient,economical and functional,”Penttila told a crowd of about 20.

The change decreases thenumber of spaces from 57 to 55,he said, adding he planned for10-foot-wide spaces to allow forthe trucks and larger SUVs.

Less asphalt leads to less sitepreparation and drainage, butPenttila said he didn’t have acost estimate yet,

Entrance to the parking lotwill be from Sherman Road,which runs along the south sideof the township’s 20-plus acresthat includes two ball diamondsin Vetter Park, and the roaddepartment garage and yard onthe west side.

Trustees have been debatingthe advisability of adding adriveway from the parking loteast to Auburn Road, butPhillips, who attended themeeting, did not appear to favorthe idea.

“You’d have a road andthree driveways within a fairlyshort distance,” he said.

The recycling center

driveway and the driveway/parking lot for the fire station(which also serves the town hallat present) both come offAuburn Road.

Phillips praised trustees forplanning to redirect town halltraffic away from the fire stationwith the driveway off Sherman.

“Separating the public fromthe fire station is a great thing,”he said, adding it will reduceconfusion.

A second driveway out ofthe parking lot to Auburn isunnecessary, Phillips said.

“The slower traffic movesaround the parking lot, thebetter,” he said.

Trustees agreed the parkinglot should be shifted farthereast about 40 feet to bring itcloser to Auburn Road andallow more green space on thewest side of the lot.

The shift would furtherremove parked cars fromdamage from foul balls thatescape the ball fields, TrusteeAndy Bushman said.

He also suggested creating adriveway along the west side ofthe baseball diamonds’ outfieldsconnecting to the drive on thenorth side of the fire station.

“We would be making awhole campus out of (the townhall-Vetter Field site),”Bushman said, adding thedriveway could improve theflow of traffic.

He asked Penttila to make a

larger site plan including all theamenities so trustees can studyhow best to link the parking lotsand improve traffic flow.

Trustee Todd Ray said sucha driveway could make accesseasier to Vetter Field.

Penttila said he wouldresearch the traffic circulationon the property and talk to thecivil engineer before the nextmeeting, which has been set forJuly 26.

Phillips reported therebuilding of the bridge overthe Chagrin River at theintersection of Auburn andSherman roads is progressing abit ahead of schedule becauseof the dry weather and could becompleted by the end of July.

He also agreed to do atraffic count at the intersectiononce drivers get used to usingAuburn as a through road again,with the possibility of droppingthe speed limit if the numberssupport the action.

Trustees met with Penttilalast Saturday morning to goover drawings of the renovationand enlargement of the townhall and made only minorchanges, said Fiscal Officer JudyToth.

Geauga County Tea PartyIn response to the letter

from Gary Paoletto regardingthe Geauga County Tea Party:

The Geauga County TeaParty supports the U.S.Constitution, the Bill of Rights,limited government and fiscalresponsibility.

We support candidates whoagree with these core values.

Regarding specific issues, wesupport candidates who want torepeal Obamacare, build theKeystone pipeline, requirephoto identification to preventvoter fraud, reduce the federaldebt and secure the southwestborders.

Anyone who pays attentionknows that these are conser-vative viewpoints.

As conservatives, GeaugaCounty Tea Party memberssupport conservatives whetherthey are Republicans orDemocrats.

However, anyone who paysattention knows that theRepublican party has manymore conservative membersthan the Democrats do.

In the race for U.S. Senate,Republican Josh Mandel ismuch more conservative thanDemocrat Sherrod Brown.

In the race for Represen-tative to the Ohio legislature,

Republican Matt Lynch is muchmore conservative than Demo-crat Tom Warren.

It is a reality that in almostevery case, the Republicancandidate is more conservativethan the Democrat.

Regarding grants: Anyonewho pays attention knows thatthe federal government isbroke.

Therefore, whenever anygrant is considered, it is onlyprudent to ask whether thatgrant is worth borrowing moremoney from China.

Grants for cancer researchare not in the same league asgrants to buy more land forGeauga County parks.

Mike Petruziello is onlybeing prudent with thetaxpayers’ money. He should becommended for that.

Attend a park boardmeeting and see for yourself.

Chesterland Historical Village

The Classic Car Show at Chesterland's Historical Village was not a total washout this past Sunday. Several carowners ventured out as rain clouds threatened an eminent storm. One adventurous gentleman, Dave Goodmanaccompanied by his co-pilot Helen M. Bell, drove in with a 1931 Ford TUDOR despite the threat of rain. Althoughthere were many beautiful classic cars at this event, Dave's 1931 Ford Certainly stood out at this vintage event.
