Well over 100 area residentsand officials attended a forum onhydraulic fracturing last Thurs-day at The West Woods parkmeeting room in Russell Town-ship.A panel of experts explained

the drilling process and the dan-gers inherent to it before openingthe floor to questions from an at-tentive audience.Ben Sustin, a Russell resident,

cut to the chase.“The bottom line is … would

you have one of these in your

back yard?” he asked.Sustin’s question went to the

heart of a county-wide debateabout the balance between pro-tecting the area’s aquifer andopening the door to the oil andgas industry, and potentialwealth.Beverly Z. Saylor, a geologist

from the Massachusetts Instituteof Technology, replied that shesends her child to a school thathas a gas well 20 feet from itsback door.Concerns about wells being

drilled near a property line areunfounded because the state has

Memories of the famousHawken barn fire bubbled to thesurface when a handful of retiredChester Township Fire Rescuefirefighters gathered to dedicatea history cabinet at the station.The event, particularly poignant

because it fell on Sept. 11, gaveseveral dozen current and formermembers a chance to admire thehand-crafted oak-and-glass cabi-net holding dozens of artifactsfrom the department’s past. Helmets, brass nozzles, faded

pictures and other memorabilia,many donated by area families,were artfully displayed on theglass shelves in the station meet-ing room.The camaraderie was obvious

among past and current firefight-

ers as they exchanged greetingsand shared cake and coffee withspouses and friends.But the crowd of about 50 qui-

eted and listened with respect asformer Fire Chief Don Kristo rec-ollected the department’s biggestchallenges – the 1977 burning ofthe Hawken barn and the 1990 St.Anselm’s Rectory fire.“I call it a tale of two fires,”

Kristo said. According to a Cleveland

Press article from April 14, 1977,the huge Hawken barn was builtin 1922 at a cost of $1 million. It was located on the campus

of Hawken School at the cornerof County Line and Mayfieldroads and was part of the old Cir-cle W Farm owned byWalter White, head of White

Motor Company.The barn was

150 feet long and 400 feet wideand stood three stories high, pos-sibly the largest building in thestate at the time. When the fire started, the

building was being used for edu-cational purposes, the article said,and the students there worked torescue animals from the structure.

"Spirit Bound" sang the NationalAnthem before Chaplin HarryRichardson, who ministers at theGeauga County Sheriff's Office,led a stark moment of silence fol-lowed by a prayer.Leading off the commemora-

tion was Chester Township PoliceChief Mark Purchase.The president of the Geauga

County Police Chief's Associa-tion opened his speech with thetimeless words of Abraham Lin-coln."Any nation that does not

honor its heroes will not long en-dure," Purchase quoted. "Sept.11 of each year has officially beendesignated by President GeorgeBush as Patriot Day and it re-mains the deadliest day ofUnited States law enforcementhistory."Purchase highlighted num-

bers that painted the horror ofthat day."The attacks on the World

Trade Center towers resulted in

the largest concentrated emer-gency service response in Amer-ican history," he said. "Approxi-mately 100 EMS units anddozens of private ambulancesraced to the site setting up cen-ters. More than 2,000 New YorkCity Police Department and PortAuthority police officers securedthe area and began to search thetowers and rescue survivors."Purchase noted 72 police of-

ficers were killed in the line ofduty during the attacks."It's been 11 years already

and the horrific events of thatday seemed to have faded a bitin our consciousness, but theservice and sacrifice of these 72courageous law enforcement he-roes, who laid down their livesfor the safety and protection ofothers must always be remem-bered," he said. "Among the lawenforcement officers that died onSept. 11 were 71 killed at theWorld Trade Center, plus one of-ficer who was amongst the pas-sengers fighting to regain controlof Flight 93."The chief said 37 members of

the port authority for the NewYork and New Jersey policeforces died at the World TradeCenter, representing the most fa-

talities suffered by a single lawenforcement agency in one day.Purchase drew the limelight

on one hero's story in particular."Special Agent Leonard Hat-

ton was on his way to work thatmorning when he saw smoke andfire coming from the north towerof the World Trade Center," thechief said. "He responded imme-diately even though he wasn'ttasked with responding to thatemergency. From the roof of theMarriott Hotel, he reported thesecond plane crashing into thesouth tower. He then entered oneof the towers, helping to evacuatethe victims."Purchase said Hatton radioed

the FBI and relayed what he wasseeing."One of his supervisors re-

called that he tried to pitch inand help out as best as he could,which meant that he ran in whileothers were running out," hesaid, adding Hatton was a vet-eran of the Marine Corps, a vol-unteer firefighter and had a wifeand four children."In one instant, one number

wrapped into one," Purchasesaid. "For the New York City Po-lice Department, that number is23. That's the number of officerswho died in the smoldering col-lapse of the World Trade Cen-ter."He added, "In one day, the

New York City Police Depart-ment lost more officers than ithad in any other previous year.The 23 officers who didn't makeit out of the twin towers alivewere amongst the very first to ar-rive."Hambden Township Fire

Chief Scott Hildenbrand took thepodium next, drawing all eyesand minds to the families af-fected by Sept. 11."Firefighters leave their fam-

ilies and head to work everydayand work by the motto thateveryone goes home," he said."On Sept. 11, 2001, everyone didnot go home."In fact, firefighters rushed

into the Twin Towers and helpedthousands of people escape thetwo infernos, the chief recalled."They fought the intense

smoke, toxic dust and fumes asthey climbed the stairs," he said."They passed thousands of peo-ple as they tried to exit the build-ing."He added, "Three hundred

and forty-three firefighters losttheir lives that day. Three hun-dred and forty-three firefightersdid not go home."It wasn't over either."It continued for days and

weeks and months after," saidHildenbrand. "Tens of thousandsof firefighters continued tosearch for their fallen brothers.At first, in hopes of saving them.And later, to make sure theywent home."The chief noted how firefight-

ers from all over the country or-ganized to help."We had firefighters from

Geauga County volunteering tohelp, but we were held back be-cause New York could not han-dle them all," he said. "To date,some 400 rescue workers havedied of cancer since the buildings

fell. Many more are ill."But, shifting gears, Hilden-

brand touched on the silver lin-ing."Some good did come out of

this tragedy," he said, pausing. "Itbrought this country togetherand more Americans show theirpatriotism."The country learned it

needed a nationwide incidentcommand system in place,Hildenbrand said."We learned that problems

existed with our communicationsystem," he said. "We were re-minded that our local firefighters

and law enforcement are our firstline of defense here on the homefront. Because of this, improve-ments have been made to com-munication and command struc-tures so that we all speak thesame language at the scene of anemergency."Hildenbrand added, "We now

cross county lines and stateboundaries and work together asone team. We are the first call be-cause these are our towns andthis is where we live. We must doit safely and we must all gohome."

The quartet emphasized thechief's last words with "GodBless America" followed by themoving sounds of Joe Keoughplaying "Amazing Grace" onbagpipes.Bokovitz closed the cere-

mony by asking everyone to"never lose the feelings that weexperienced 11 years ago."He added, "And that those of

us who are first responders ... weshould never forget the sacrificesmade by those brave first respon-ders who lost their lives Sept. 11,2001."

strict requirements for setbacksfrom property lines and waterwells that must be met before apermit is issued to drill a well,said Greg Studen, founding pres-ident of the Chagrin River Wa-tershed Partners. Pete MacKenzie, vice presi-

dent of the Ohio Oil and Gas As-sociation, spoke in more detailabout the difference between thefamiliar gas wells dotting thecounty and the incoming hori-zontal wells that will tap a layerof Utica shale thousands of feetbelow the surface for oil and gas. Both use a process, hydraulic

fracturing, to access gas and oildeep in the ground, he said. Inthe 1950s, drillers started pound-ing water into deep wells to frac-ture the layer of rock that heldnatural gas. Sand and chemicals were

added to the water to keep thecracks in the rock open and tofacilitate the removal of the gas,MacKenzie said. Five years ago, he had no idea

the industry giants would look tothe Appalachian Basin as an oilfield, but that has changed dra-matically, he said.“Horizontal well technology

is here and people know how touse it,” MacKenzie said.Once the drill has reached the

Utica shale level — which is be-lieved to be 4,000 to 7,000 feetbelow the surface — it is turnedat an angle to follow the shalebed horizontally. When natural gas companies

moved into Northeast Ohio sev-eral decades ago, they drilledstraight down to the Clintonlayer. In one square mile, there

could be up to 30 wells, some ofwhich are still producing gas,MacKenzie said.Oil and gas companies like

Chesapeake have changed theirmode of operation with horizon-tal drilling. An area central to the section

the company has leases for ismade into a pad on which thedrilling rig stays, he said. The well pads are 5 to 10

acres and a number of wells canbe drilled in that area with the“legs” extending away from thepad, MacKenzie said.

Keeping the entire operationin one location makes safety andfluids management much easier,he said. All pads are designed the

same, so there is no confusionand there aren’t rigs and tankersdriving all over the township.On the other hand, while tra-

ditional vertical well drillingtakes less than two weeks, thepad and rig could be occupiedmuch longer, MacKenzie said.In response to another ques-

tion, he said the oil and gas in-dustry is not exempt from thefederal Clean Air and Water Act,and any part of control the statetakes on must be set at a higherlevel than the federal regulations.“Ohio’s law is more stringent

than the federal law,” MacKenziesaid. “(Ohio) is trying to beproactive and staff up.”The laws require close super-

vision of the wells by state in-spectors when they are beingdrilled and opened, Studen said,adding the state is taking that re-sponsibility very seriously. The Ohio Department of

Natural Resources oil and gas di-vision has recently hired about200 inspectors to keep tabs onthe wells in process, which iswhen accidents are most likely tooccur.

ODNR also requires periodicinspections when the wells areproducing. There are only 20 rigs oper-

ating in Ohio now, with as manyas 39 wells in some stage of thedrilling process, MacKenzie said. Most are in southern Ohio,

with one started in ParkmanTownship in Geauga County.“It’s hard to tell which wells

are in process,” he said.A concerned resident said she

had heard there is talk inYoungstown of putting a well inMillcreek Park. She asked if there are plans

to drill on the Geauga Park Dis-trict lands.“That’s a resource that has

the economic potential to (sup-port) your parks for generationsto come,” MacKenzie said, butJohn Leech, a member of theGeauga Park District board,stood up.“Our policy is not to permit

any drilling on any of the GeaugaPark land,” Leech said, to ap-plause from the audience.When a resident asked about

the amount of water needed fordrilling and the chemicals thatare used, Saylor spoke up.“I’ve done the calculations

multiple times,” she said, addingeven when a well requires two tofour million gallons of water forfracking, it is a very small amountbalanced against the region’s sup-ply.She added,“It’s comparable to

recreation (uses such as) golfcourses.”Saylor said not to take it out

of the Chagrin River or “yourprecious streams,” but a few mil-lion gallons wouldn’t be missedfrom a flooding river, for in-stance.MacKenzie said the drilling

companies are required to reportthe chemicals they use in theprocess, but Saylor said some areproprietary and the companiesdo not reveal their recipes. However, the chemical con-

tent of the fracking water is lessthan one-half of 1 percent, shesaid. Dennis Franz asked about the

disposal of the fracking waterwhen it is withdrawn from thewell containing the chemicals aswell as material it may wash outof the shale. He also asked about allowing

other states to send their brineto Ohio for disposal.Studen said while the water

is being injected into gas wellsthat are no longer producing, thebrine is going much deeper thanthe aquifer from which drinkingwater is taken. During the forum,experts said the state permits thepractice.Forum mediator Tom Warren,

a member of the Russell Town-ship zoning commission, said thesubject of injection wells was notpart of the forum because thereare no permitted injection wellsin Russell Township.The forum was sponsored by

the Russell Township ZoningCommission.

“The Hawken barn fire defiesdescription,” Kristo said, likeningit to 100 barrels of jet fuel goingup at once. “When the Hawken barn

went, it went big and it went fast,”he said.No one ever figured out what

caused the fire, but the point oforigin was in the basement, Kristosaid. Firefighters struggled to con-

tain the fire near the barn bank.“We made some progress,

then came the water issue,” he re-called, noting even with mutualaid, there wasn’t enough water tokeep up with the hungry blaze.“Then the wind took over,”

Kristo said. The 30 mph wind caused an

updraft that took the conflagra-tion totally out of control. “Thefire increased the wind speed tothe point where you couldn’tstand up,” he said, estimating theair currents were around 70 mph. The chimney effect shot em-

bers and flames high into the skyand burning detritus came downas far away as Gates Mills andnearly to Mentor, causing grassfires in some cases, Kristo said. During the hours of hot, hard

work, he knew the fire had his de-

partment outgunned.“I saw things not happening

that should be happening,” hesaid.In the end, the firefighters had

to tear the building down to putthe blaze out and the ChesterTownship landmark was history.But, despite the tragedy, the

incident marked a new beginningfor the department.“Some issues came forth that

we needed to address,” Kristosaid. “We were a good Class 9 firedepartment. But were we reallyprepared for the big picture?”In fact, the fire took its toll on

equipment as well as morale.

Kristo said it took more thansix months to get the pumperback into working condition, andthe department lost about 2,000feet of hose. The department’s rating

dropped to a 10 in the aftermathof the Hawken barn fire, he said.It was time for some soul-

searching and the members talkeda lot about the future of the de-partment.“We wanted to expand our de-

partment and make it more effi-cient and capable of coveringmore kinds of responsibilities,”Kristo said. They knew it would require

more money from levies. The only way to pay back the

community for that kind of sup-port was to aim for a Class 5 or 6rating, the point at which resi-dents’ homeowners’ insurancerates would decrease by 25 to 35percent, he said.“That started the department

in a new evolutionary direction,”Kristo said, adding it took a cou-ple of decades of broad-based ef-fort to reach the goals the depart-ment set regarding water supply,equipment, training and practice. The second of the two fires

that told the tale was at St.Anselm’s Rectory in December1990.

“Again, it was a basement fire;again it was a fairly large build-ing,” Kristo said. “That was apretty extensive fire.”But on that winter night, all

the work and planning paid off. Water was there when needed,

departments from surroundingcommunities arrived whenneeded, equipment and personnelperformed as planned, Kristosaid.“I remember thinking ‘This is

the way it’s supposed to work,’”he said.It was a turning point. In 1995, the department ap-

plied for a change in rating andin 1997, Chester Township FireRescue — then called theChesterland Volunteer Fire De-partment — became a Class 6 op-eration. Fire insurance rates for resi-

dential, commercial and industrialproperties started to come down.“You can imagine the savings

to the community. I think it is arather substantial number,” Kristosaid.Past chiefs and members

spoke last Tuesday, recalling themany changes over the last 50years and the pride they still have

in the department.“We had a lot of fun, but we

took our job very seriously,” saidformer Fire Chief Lowell Keller.“I’m proud I was once associatedwith this department.”Lt. Dave Saltinas, who is also

a full-time firefighter with theHighland Heights Fire Depart-ment, said he is a history buff. So when he joined Chester

Township Fire Rescue in 2007, hefelt something was lacking.“The only history I’d ever seen

was Don walking up and downour halls,” he joked, but his recog-nition of the past members wassober.“I want to thank each of you.

How many hot meals have youleft to protect people you didn’teven know?” he asked.When Kristo and others estab-

lished the memory cabinet at thestation, they gave active membersa sense of where the departmentcame from and what it took to getthere.“You guys are unsung heroes

and you have made the fire de-partment what it is today. Now wecan carry on your stories,” Saltinassaid. “You guys are never goingto be forgotten.”

ANN WISHART/CNFour members of the Chester Fire Department look at old photos during acelebration at the fire station last Tuesday. They are, from left (back), BillLaditka, the department's corporate president; John Nolan, departmentcaptain; (front) Lowell Keller, firefighter and Doug Boss, retired chief.

The board and superintend-ent spent some time talkingabout district goals to achieve thetop 5 percent, along with boardpolicy and bylaws at a Sept. 4board retreat.Palmer said they have a

framework for the goals, whichare teaching and learning, collab-oration and communication, andfacilities."We didn't get into the true

nuts and bolts of those categories,but instead focused on theboard's responsibilities, which iswhat we developed and agreedto in that meeting," Palmer said,adding they called them "Wewill" statements."This will take some time for

us to come up with the true de-tails," he said. "(However), theframework is established."Palmer said these general

statements would really be thedriving force behind reaching"the top 5 in 5".However, the district has

made some reductions in thebudget over the past few years.

Treasurer Michele Tullai saidthe district has cut approximately$1.7 million in areas such astransportation, supplies and per-sonnel."We did make cuts, but we

have good programs and peoplein place," Palmer said. "It's goingto require hard work and every-one working on the same page."Board President Bill Beers

said the retreat was beneficial forthe board members.The board was to reaffirm

their policies at Thursday's meet-ing, however, Beers said it wasdecided additional discussionswere needed before they do."The board did a tremendous

job in focusing on the key areasof moving forward," Palmer said."We had some tough times andwe need to look forward, moveahead and put the past behindus."Meanwhile, the board recog-

nized Russell Township for thepurchase of 17 cameras, whichwere installed at Westwood Ele-mentary School a couple of daysbefore school began in August.School activity can be viewed

remotely by law enforcement and

emergency services as well as byWestwood Principal DeniseBrewster.The project cost was $17,329

and was paid by the township.Brewster said before this gen-

erous offer from Russell Town-ship, the school had one cameraat the front door."The need was there," she

said at the meeting. "We werevery pleased that Russell Town-ship was able to discuss that andfelt that this was a priority forour school."

Teichman FinancialHonors VeteransTeichman Financial Services

Inc., 11630 Chillicothe Road,Chester Township, holds an an-nual client appreciation clambake.The firm’s owner, Larry Teich-

man, estimates approximately 400clients attended this year’s event. “The clambake is casual and

gives clients an opportunity toget to know one another, andgives members of the firm timewith clients in a relaxed environ-ment,” Teichman said. Many of the firm’s clients are

baby boomers between the agesof 55-60,” he said, adding giventhat, several of their clients areVietnam-era veterans. In an effort to recognize the

veterans' service, Teichmanworked with the Hospice of theWestern Reserve and arranged amilitary pinning program. The recognition program was

supported by the Military ColorGuard, and over 20 veteranswere honored, including Teich-man's father-in- law, a World WarII Veteran. Teichman explained that over

the years, his firm invited Hos-pice of the Western Reserve rep-resentatives to conduct educa-tional seminars explaining theirservices and to seek volunteers. When Diane Hartt, a Hospice

community relations representa-tive, suggested the pinning pro-gram, Teichman considered it a“no-brainer.” “Many of the veterans be-

came emotional when they re-ceived their pin,” he said, addingit was much more than a token. Hospice representatives Mike

Ludwig and Diane Hartt took thetime to express their sincere ap-preciation to each of the veterans. “I can’t say enough good

things about the Hospice of theWestern Reserve,” Teichmansaid. “In the future, we plan toexpand the program by invitingveterans from the area.” Securities offered through

Chip Keys, Here to StayA Chipkey, also known as

anti-theft auto keys, contain acomputer transponder chip inthe head of the key programmedto the vehicle's security system. Duplicate keys for a vehicle

require a matching code in orderto operate the vehicle. The majority of newer vehi-

cles use smart keys, which helpto curb auto theft and reduce in-surance premiums. A spare ChipKey is needed

because the technology requiresthat the vehicle key unlock thedoors and work in the ignition,but it must have the samematching code to the vehicle'santi-theft computer. In the event keys are lost or

broken and a spare key is un-available, the vehicle will betowed to the dealership to re-program the vehicle’s computer,which can be very costly.

The ChipKey costs morethan a plastic-head auto key be-cause it is a high-tech device thatcommunicates electronicallywith the vehicle's engine com-puter using a unique securitycode. A key can be cut to open the

door and trunk, but unless itcontains a programmed chipwith the matching code, the ve-hicle will not operate. In some vehicles, a ChipKey

is required to open the door inorder to deactivate the alarmsystem. A simple test will determine

which vehicles need a ChipKey. Three are recommended. Turney’s Ace Hardware can

cut and program most ChipKeys. Call 440-729-2130 or stop

into Turney’s Ace Hardware,12670 West Geauga Plaza,Chester Township.

Steps to a SuccessfulPainting ProjectThe difference between an ex-

cellent paint job and a fair onedepends on the time invested inthe project. If painting a room, simply roll

on two coats and walk away. To make the room stand out,

there’s a few options to make abig difference in the outcome. To start off, wash the surface.

Paint has a hard time sticking toany wall or surface that is grimy. Next, fill and repair any dam-

age to the wall. Filling nail holesand smoothing out uneven sur-faces makes a wall look uniform. If a previous coating is glossy

paint, either sand the entire sur-face or use a specialty primer thatbonds to a shiny surface. By having the primer tinted

to the color being used, the paintwill cover better. A primer coat before painting

the walls will insure an “even”uniform surface. When putting on the finishing

coat, flat spots will disappear. Lastly, don’t skimp out on the

finishing coat. Turney’s Ace Hardware car-

ries a complete line of BenjaminMoore Paints for every budget. Its Regal Select line covers

well and helps achieve a profes-sional look. Stop into Turney’s Ace Hard-

ware, 12670 West Geauga Plaza,Chester Township, for all paintingneeds.

The National Association ofDrug Diversion Investigatorsstrongly supports prescriptiondrug take back programs. There is a great need for a

permanent solution, so these pre-scription medicines can be prop-erly disposed of quickly andanonymously. Now there is a secure mailbox

style box located inside the lobbyof the Chester Township PoliceDepartment, where residents canwalk in and deposit their un-wanted, expired medicines dur-ing normal business hours of 6a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday throughFriday.These unwanted pharmaceu-

ticals have become the target oftheft and misuse, oftentimes bypeople who have access to theresidence. America’s 12 to 17year olds have made prescriptiondrugs the number one substanceof abuse for their age group andmuch of that supply is unwit-tingly coming from the medicinecabinets of their parents, grand-parents and friends. More and more adults recog-

nize the need to remove thesesubstances from the home andlegally and safely turn them overto law enforcement for properchain of custody and court or-dered destruction.Law enforcement is the only

entity legally able to accept thesemedications and process themproperly so that they do not fall

into the wrong hands. The Chester Township Police

Department will take control ofand destroy these drugs on a reg-ular basis as part of our regularoperations. Residents are reminded that

we are only accepting pills andpatches, no liquids or needles areto be dropped off for destruction.

Vote Yes For WGCommons RenewalIt seems like election day is

far, far away. But I just received my appli-

cation for an absentee ballot re-minding me that voters will soonbe filing their votes. This is an exciting presidential

election year but we should becognizant of the other importantissues. I’d like to say a few words

about the renewal levy that willappear on the ballot for mainte-nance of the West Geauga Com-mons.The levy is not for new taxes,

it will only continue the presentlevy. It is for 0.2 mills, which costs

homeowners approximately $3per year for each $100,000 oftheir home valuation and willgenerate approximately $63,000annually for the commons.The park is administered by

a volunteer, unpaid board of ninepersons — 3 each are appointedby Russell Township Trustees,Chester Township Trustees andWest Geauga Schools Board ofEducation.The total budget with taxes,

contributions and fees is approx-imately $65,000, all of which isspent on park maintenance andinsurance.The park is used by the West

Geauga Travel Soccer Club, theWest Geauga Recreation Coun-cil, the West Geauga BaseballFoundation, West GeaugaSchools and a multitude of otherorganizations and residents.The facilities include three

soccer fields, a premier baseballfield, three sand volley ballcourts, a lacrosse facility, a 1.3-mile nature trail, cross countryskiing, a basketball court, a chil-dren’s playground and a pavilionwith grilling facilities.The park is well maintained

Support a Crown JewelsIt is a rare opportunity when

you can support one of the crownjewels of Geauga County and doit for less money than it has costtaxpayers in the past. I am very excited to say that

that is exactly the scenario we arepresented with when we go to thepolls in November. Two current 1-mill Geauga

Park District levies are due to ex-pire at the end of 2012. Those levies currently cost

taxpayers $36.44 annually (basedon a $100,000 home). The Geauga Park District

Board of Commissioners recog-nize the need to do more withless, so they have proposed re-placing one of the levies with anew 1-mill levy while letting theother expire. This new configuration will

only cost a taxpayer of a$100,000 home $30.63 annually.That is a 16 percent reduction. I applaud the commissioners

for recognizing that times arechallenging for many of us. I also applaud them for work-

ing hard to ensure the future ofthe Geauga Park District isbright. Being a lifelong resident of

Geauga County, I have beenblessed to grow up enjoying theGeauga Park District. I currently share it with my

children and look forward tosomeday sharing it with mygrandchildren. Join me in supporting the

continued success of one ofGeauga County’s crown jewels.

Dr. Evans for Geauga Co.CoronerI am writing this letter on be-

half of Dr. Robert A. Evans, can-didate for the Geauga Countycoroner position in the Nov. 6election. Dr. Bob is my younger

brother and worked as chiefdeputy coroner for eight years. During that time, he attended

multiple Coroners State Associ-ation meetings. The most recent being the

meeting in May 2012 held at theCleveland Clinic Foundation. He is well versed, reliable,

hard working and will work in aprofessional manner. During our time working to-

gether, we put together a coro-ners investigator position. Death scene investigation is

critical and paramount in deter-mining the manner of death. Cause of death can be deter-

mined by autopsy, but manner ofdeath can be homicide, suicide,

accidental or nature and can onlybe determined by investigation. Exact manner of death has

many obvious ramifications, legaland moral. The investigation program

has been discontinued during thecurrent administration. A vote in November for

Robert Evans will be a vote forthe return of an investigator inGeauga County, protecting thefamilies of our good citizens.

Dr. Albert S. Evans, D.O.Middlefield

Leaders Need to beLeadersIt's a disgrace that as one of

the largest townships in GeaugaCounty, we have antiquatedbuildings for police, fire, road andadministrative departments. Some are over 70 years old. Now the trustees want to

move the recycling center to Her-rick Drive or the Chester Schoolsite. Spread the chaos of those old

buildings and mess to my neigh-borhood? I say no. Recently, the editor of this

newspaper did a column on thestate of leadership in our town-ship. That is a disgrace as well. Ken Radtke should be

ashamed of himself. He has zon-ing violations when he says he"knows zoning."Not only that, but he sits there

all quiet while “his audience,” hissupporters, tear into townshipemployees and his fellow trusteesthat are here to serve the resi-dents of Chester Township.A travesty. Judy Caputo and Mike Joyce,

I am ashamed of you both aswell. You allow these same peo-

ple to turn our township andmeetings into a hateful den of

animosity and dissent. Leaders are supposed to be

leaders and demand respect fromany and all residents at meetings,period. All three of you have failed

miserably to do that.If this is how you want to

lead, then please resign now. I am sick of it as many of your

supporters are as well. Beingweak and submissive is not partof a leader's profile. While I do not want to see

more of Ron Cotman's peoplegain office, I am frustrated withyour non-reactive approach toleadership. Why do I care? I have lived here most of my

life. I know that the majority ofpeople here do not want apart-ments, condos or 48 houses built

on 11 acres of land. That is what both Ken

Radtke and Ron Cotman seek,to turn the center of town into acity so they can "make it lookpretty." They also do not like our

large lot zoning, so kiss it good-bye folks. A small group of residents

through their malicious attackshave undermined our confidencein our leaders not just in Chester,but the entire county and this iswhy. I do not like bullies, tyrants

or fanatics like Ron Cotman, KenRadtke, Skip Claypool, MikePetruzilo or anyone who has anagenda that ruins our way of life.

WG Varsity Boys SoccerBy George “Pat” Willis

The West GeaugaWolverines boys varsity soccerteam has a record of 7-1.The team is off to the best

start in over 10 years; sittingtied for first place in theChagrin Valley Conferenceafter two matches at 2-0. On Saturday, the boys won

the match versus Notre DameCathedral Latin with a finalscore of 6-0.What really made this game

exceptional was every score wasmade by a different player. Eighteen minutes into the

first half, Jake Clark’s cornerkick was headed into the netfrom the back post by RyanGleske.At 29 minutes in, Jake

scored coming down the rightside, sending a quick kick intothe right corner of the net. During the second half at 9

minutes in, Josh Ebersbachercharged down the right side toscore the third goal. Three minutes later, Alex

Krause headed the forth goal infor the Wolverines. With eleven minutes to play,

center defenseman Ryan Willissent the ball into the 18 where

Owen Hester rebounded theball scoring for West G onceagain. Counting down to the last

four minutes, Abe Akucewichput the final touch onto amagnificent display with thesixth score of the game. Defensively, this team has

proven to be a tough opponentallowing few shots on goal. In the box, credit must be

given to goalie Tyler Duprey,saving eight goals and returningthe ball to his teammates with

precision, maintaining theshutout to the final whistleduring the NDCL match. With six different players

scoring goals, this team is acontender for an exhilaratingyear on the pitch. Come out and join the boys

for the second half of theseason. Home games are: Sept.18 versus Kenston; Sept. 25versus Aurora; and Oct. 2 versusOrange.

Willis is chairman of the WestGeauga Boys Boosters.

Buyers shop by comparison.Most buyers view homes

within a given price range and inadjacent geographic locations.The following price range andareas were studied for thisreport, and, for the purpose ofthis report, we took a snapshot ofwhole market.Geographic areas we will

look at: West Geauga LocalSchool District.This report also contains the

following market research fromthe local millage that may havean impact on the current value ofyour property:Homes that are on the

market today in this price rangeare your true competition. Total number of active

listings: 139.These homes have been on

the market for an average of: 155days.Homes that have recently

sold are historic indicators ofperceived value. Appraisers willuse this data to determine thevalue of your home.

There were 89 properties thatsold in the last 6 months. Thesehomes were on the market for anaverage of 116 days.The original average asking

price of these homes was$361,506. These sellers had toreduce their price by an averageof 25 percent in order to get anoffer on their homes.The average sales price of

$271,197 divided by the averageasking price of $361,506 tells usthat the sellers are accepting, onthe average 75 percent of theirlist price on their home.Homes that are now under

contract are the most recentsuccesses; these sellers havereached their goal. Our goal is toreceive an acceptable purchaseagreement on your home withinyour time frame.Total number of pending

16 homes that sell per month = 8months of inventory in this pricerange and in the market areasstudied.

Real Estate Q & AWho pays the commission?The seller typically pays a

percentage of the selling price ofthe house; it is considered part ofthe seller’s closing cost.Closing costs are fees that are

charged by those involved withthe home sale, such as the lender(who can charge points), the titleagent or closing attorney,surveyors and local taxingauthorities.Costs can vary widely

depending on your loan type.Most buyers don’t realize theydon’t pay anything to use theservices of a professionalrealtor®.

When is the best time to out myhouse on the market?Our spring market (usually

favors Seller) starts in January.Yes, I said January.The majority of all house

transfers are during spring,which means buyers startedlooking much earlier. By thetime they have looked, boughtand lending requirements havebeen met, you’re in mid to latespring.Equally important is to

recognize the fall market(usually favors Buyer) starts inmid September to lateNovember.

If you have any real estatequestions, either in general orpertaining to our local market,please email Lisa Thoreson atlisathoreson@howardhanna.comor call 440-834-9800.
