Can a township legallydonate to a civic organization?And what are the guidelines fora township accepting donationsfrom residents? These were themain topics of discussion at theChester Township Trusteesmeeting Thursday.

Fiscal Officer CraigRichter told trustees hehad checked with legalcounsel about whetherthe township couldlegally accept dona-tions from residents,including a July 9 dona-tion of $75 and anApril 24 donation of$30 — both to thepolice department fromunnamed residents.

Richter said he hadchecked with officialsfrom the Ohio Auditorof State and theGeauga County Pros-ecutor’s Office aboutthe issue and had beentold they were accept-able if mentioned bytrustees during a pub-lic meeting.

“So I asked thedepartment heads ifthere had been any oth-ers,” he told trustees.

Richter said twoother donations of materialshad been received from resi-dents during the July 4 holiday.

Skip Claypool had donated

a double-sided sign announcingelected officials for the parade,and former-Trustee Clay Law-rence had donated $75 worth offlowers.

“They should be men-tioned,” Richter said.

He said he did not have avalue figure for the sign dona-

tion. Herrick Drive resi-

dent Gary Temple,who has complainedseveral times to trus-tees about flooding hesaid was caused by thetownship road depart-ment, told trusteesanother resident hadvolunteered to correctthe problem with hisown equipment.

“It will cost the tax-payers absolutely no-thing,” Temple said. “It’sa chance for the town-ship to save money andget it done right.”

Trustees, however,appeared reluctant toapprove the proposeddonation.

“I will forward thisto (Road Superinten-dent) Rob (Pealer),”Trustee Ken Radtketold Temple. “He willcheck and see if it is

acceptable to the coun-ty, and see if a donation is OK ifit’s from a private company.”

Several hours of service worka day is more than a way forRussell teen Matthew Amato tospend time with his friends.

It’s a way to build character,learn skills and appreciate whathe has.

Matthew, along with hisbrothers, Noah and Gus, andtheir mother, Angie, formed theWacky Wednesday service clubearlier this year in order to gainappreciation of serving others.

“We’re looking at helpingtons of people out,” the incom-ing West Geauga sophomoresaid while helping out atFellowship Bible Church in

Bainbridge Township lastWednesday. “I just love givingback to the county and amgrateful for what I have.”

Every Wednesday duringthis summer, they visit placesaround the county and volun-teer their morning time to helpwith whatever is needed, Angiesaid.

After their work is done, theboys all hang out and do some-thing fun, such as visit the poolor play “octo-ball,” a variationof dodgeball in an octagon-likeenclosure, at the Chagrin ValleyAthletic Club in BainbridgeTownship, Angie said.

Wacky Wednesdays Help Students Learn Importance of ServiceBy Josh Echt

The idea may have come toDominick Ambrose during a carride, driving miles west so thathis daughters, Alicia and Ashley,could participate in sports.

Those indoor facilities werelocated west of Cleveland whenthe snow was piled high aroundAmbrose’s home in MunsonTownship, making outdoor ath-letics a summer dream.

“I thought about the need of

having something in Chardon,“Ambrose said. “We are nation-ally known for being in thesnowbelt, and we have beautifulfacilities — but we have nothingfor the seven and eight monthsof horrible weather.“

Ambrose happened to own alarge warehouse, formerly calledthe Eagle America Building, at510 Center St. in Chardon. Itwas a woodworker’s outlet, stor-ing tools and bits.

Now Ambrose is converting

the facility into an indoor recre-ation center, called the IGNITESports and Enrichment Center.

The center will include twomulti-purpose courts, where bas-ketball, volleyball and othersports can be played. And thenthere’s the batting cages, whichshould be popular for NortheastOhio baseball and softball teams,where the weather does not usu-ally cooperate in the springtime.

“I can’t tell you how many peoplehave asked when the batting cages aregoing to be up,“ Ambrose said. “Peoplegot the flyer and are already calling andasking to use them.“

Ambrose has worked closely with thecity of Chardon for a few years, and thepark and recreation board has agreed tomove the basketball programs to theIGNITE facility, said City ManagerRandy Sharpe.

The financial cost to the city is thesame as what they’ve been paying,Sharpe said.

“We’re looking forward to it and hav-ing additional space,“ he added.

Work is still being done at the center.There will be no membership fees andprograms will be pay as you go.

But it’s not just about athletics, saysIGNITE’s Executive Director NatalieRichley.

IGNITE stands for Instilling Growthand Nurturing Individual Talents andExceptionalities.

Richley, who was born and raised inChardon and has a degree in specialeducation, has created adaptive pro-grams that will focus on music, art andcooking therapy for children and adultswith special needs.

Her uncle, Jim Filla, has Down syn-drome.

“He has always needed a place to go,“

Richley said. “But for enrichment activi-ties, something outside of work.“

She stresses that social interaction isimportant for people with special needs.

“They can regress,“ she said. “Wedon’t want that. They thrive on otherpeople to give them attention and tocommunicate. For them to be able tocome out and utilize this facility enrichestheir lives and engages them.“

Added Ambrose, “Whatever you andI can do, they can do it, as well. But theyneed different kinds of equipment to doit.“

“So nobody will be turned away,“Richley said.

For Filla, only a basketball and hoopis needed. Playing basketball is one ofhis favorite things to do.

Richley hopes to start an IGNITESpecial Olympics one day.

IGNITE is currently registering six-week music classes for children whilework continues. The cost of a 6-weekprogram is $70, with supplemental fund-ing available to offset fees.

There is space behind the complexfor expansion. As Ambrose opens theback door of IGNITE and looks at theopen grass fields, he envisions a soccerfield and running track.

She said the various friends —including John and Matthew Huffaker —have other activities during differentdays of the week, such as footballweightlifting at the high school, lacrossetraining and marching band practice.

But Wednesdays are theirs.“This adventure builds character and

technical skills. They learn how to workas a team,” Angie said.

The Amatos, along with WackyWednesday member Franklin Spelic-Davis, are members of Fellowship BibleChurch. The group’s activities dovetailwith the church’s service-oriented mis-sion, said Terry Klebes, the pastor ofadministration and global outreach.

“The group provides us great serv-ice,” Klebes said as he watched the boysready the church’s playground equip-ment for the summer season.

“They’re serving the community andliving the mission,” he said. “At

Fellowship, we believe faith thatunleashes love will change the world.”

Angie said the group has been work-ing hard since school let out in earlyJune, volunteering at facilities andorganizations not just in Geauga County,but across the region.

“They’ve gone to Laura’s Home,which helps women and children and is aprogram affiliated with The CityMission,” she added. “We’ve also helpedout by sending out postcards at MunsonTown Hall related to student scholar-ships.”

A unique recent endeavor was a tripto Geauga Humane Society’s RescueVillage in Russell Township, where theyhelped improve the dog trails at thefacility. Gus Amato called the event“good and fun.”

Franklin, an incoming eighth-graderat West Geauga Middle School, agreedwith him.

“This experience shows us how luckywe really are,” he said.

A concept born in culinary schooldecades ago and spurred by a passion offine cuisine finally came to fruition inChester Township.

Salvatore’s, which held a soft openingMay 2, serves classic Italian cuisine. Thegrand opening will take place in the fall.However, Salvatore’s has not set a date.

The conceptual idea of the restaurantwas based on a culinary school finalproject created years ago by ExecutiveChef Salvatore LaPuma.

LaPuma discussed the history of therestaurant and explained why food is hispassion.

A Providential Project IdeaLaPuma started working in his

father’s bakery, LaPuma’s Bakery, inMayfield Heights at age 10.

He graduated from West GeaugaHigh School in 1985 and then headed tothe East Coast. He received a double-

major at Johnson and Wales CulinarySchool in Providence, R.I., in both bakingscience/technology and in culinary arts.

Upon his return to Cleveland, hebegan working again in his father’sbakery, helping out with mixing, run-ning the ovens and decorating cakes.

But, in the back of his mind, LaPumawanted to own his own restaurantsomeday. While in culinary school, hehad to design a model of a restaurant,complete with a menu and business planas a final project.

“Ninety percent of that plan was in myhead and it was something I eventuallywanted to accomplish,” he said.

In 2001, his father sold the MayfieldHeights bakery and LaPuma — an avidhunter, fisherman and guide — workedin the outdoors business.

At the end of the decade, his familypurchased the former Grendell’s Bakeryin 2009.

GOVERNMENT MEETINGS

Later, during the public commentportion of the meeting, Temple asked thestatus of trespassing charges he had filedwith the police, alleginig the road depart-ment removed trees on his propertywithout his permission.

“I called the police because they cuttrees on my property and hauled thewood away, just because they could,”Temple said.

Radtke said he was not aware of thestatus of Temple’s complaint.

In other discussion, Radtke said hehad recently told Chesterland HistoricalSociety President Judith Schwed thattrustees should not donate to the non-profit civic group because the township’sgeneral fund faces a $300,000 to $500,000

deficit, and donating to one group wouldencourage others to ask for money.

In mid-May, former-Trustee PatMula, who volunteers with the organiza-tion, told trustees they are allowed bylaw to donate to non-profit groups, andasked them to consider giving $1,500 tothe society.

At that meeting, trustees said theywould consider it.

“I expressed my opinions and con-cerns to Judith,” Radtke said. “I’m a mem-ber, so I believe that ethically it’s a conflictof interest. I volunteered to help them putup a fence for their flea market.”

Trustee Mike Petruziello added, “I’ma member also. Maybe we should donateprivately.”

Radtke said he thought that was agood idea.

Trustee Bud Kinney did not attendThursday’s meeting.

Town Crier from page 8

On June 26, the Chester TownshipTrustees held a regular meeting, approv-ing various financial items and purchaseorders, including aggregate, fuel and thepurchase of firefighter protective gear.

A motion was approved for twotrustees, the fiscal officer and assistantfiscal officer to attend the July 9 GeaugaTownship Association Dinner.

An addition to the policy manual wasapproved addressing “Attendance atConferences, Institutes, Schools,Conventions, Meetings.“

The focus of this meeting was toreview and discuss each department’s2015 budget. Total planned expendituresare: General fund ($883,244); fire depart-ment and EMS (combined-$1,216,800);police department ($1,734,661); roaddepartment including gas, motor vehicleand road (combined $1,390,329).

Total appropriations for the townshipin 2015, including some smaller funds, iscurrently at $5,540,723.

The general fund advanced $125,000to the road department because accord-ing to law, budgets cannot have a nega-tive balance.

Even with this advance, the roaddepartment lacks sufficient funding forany asphalt resurfacing in 2015. A finan-cial analysis is in development, and apresentation at the July 24 trustees meet-ing is likely.

A resident raised his concernsregarding flooding onto his propertyfrom work being done by the townshipon Herrick Drive. The township is work-ing with the resident to address the issue.

A motion was approved setting apublic hearing for 7 p.m. July 10 atChester Town Hall for the proposed fis-cal year 2015 budget.

A copy of the draft budget is avail-able at town hall. Chester’s final 2015budget is due at the county by July 20and a public meeting with the countybudget commission has been set for 9a.m. on Aug. 13 at the auditor’s office forreview.

A motion was approved setting apublic hearing for Aug. 7 for zoningamendment Z-2014-1. After the fact, theboard learned that a public hearing mustbe held within 30 days of receipt of thedocumentation from the zoning commis-sion.

To correct this, on June 30, a specialpublic meeting was held, establishing thepublic hearing for Z-2014-1 at 7:02 pmon July 24. An executive session to dis-cuss legal matters with our assistantcounty prosecutor, Bridey Matheney,was also part of this special meeting.

In January, the Chester TownshipTrustees established a regular publicmeeting schedule and that schedule waspublished early in the year. Because ofthe FY2015 budget review, the June 26board meeting began at 3 p.m., lastingmore than five hours.

The meeting concluded at 8:07 p.m.followed by elected officials signingchecks and other official documents.Township officials were therefore unableto attend the park board meeting.

Township officials have receivedstatements of concern and inquiries thatParkside Park may shut down or not befunded in FY2015.

Those statements are incorrect. TheChester Township Trustees have everyintent to provide ample funding to sup-port our township park and funding hasalready been established as part of the2015 budget discussions.

If you have any questions regardingthis or any other matter, you can contactany Trustee, 440-729-7058.
