Your Community Newspaper Since 1967VOLUME 48 No. 16 Wednesday, September 3, 2014

The Chester Township ParkBoard is a hard-working,unpaid, often misunderstoodgroup of volunteers that needsto make some proceduralchanges — at least that’s whatMaster Commissioner MaryJane Trapp said in a report shesubmitted to Chester TownshipTrustees last Monday night.

The report also said trusteesneed to work with the parkboard to improve communica-tions and repair their fracturedrelationship.

During an hour-long courthearing convened at the ChesterTownship Fire Department,Trapp, an attorney and former11th District Court of Appealsjudge, summarized her 220-pagereport, which she compiled overseveral months at the request ofGeauga County Probate JudgeTimothy Grendell, who presidedover the assembly.

The packed audience includ-ed current and former townshiptrustees, current and formerpark board members, and sever-al residents, many of whomrecorded the proceedings.

Grendell made it clear it wasnot a public hearing but an offi-cial court session. He said hehad convened the hearing in hiscourtroom in Chardon an hourbefore, but had reconvened inChester for the public’s conven-ience.

He added he would not takeany public questions or com-ments because the lengthyreport had just been released.

“This is my courthouse andsubject to my procedures,”Grendell said.

According to Grendell, theChester park board was createdby Geauga County ProbateJudge Henry Lavrich in the1980s as an independent body.He said he appointed Trapp inMarch to investigate questionsraised by some residents aboutthe board’s procedures.

Grendell appointed Trappbecause she was an attorneyand former judge, and aDemocrat, he said.

“She is of the opposite partyto me, so she will be independ-ent,” Grendell said. “The issuesraised needed to be thoroughlyreviewed.”

Trapp said during her

months-long investigation, sheconducted extensive interviewsand went through records andminutes from the park boardand township trustees goingback to the park board’s forma-tion.

She complimented bothgroups for what she termed therenaissance of Parkside Parkduring the last four years.

“It’s a source of pride for thecommunity,” Trapp said. “Yourcommunity has a park in keep-ing with donor David Hudson,who envisioned a park thatwould serve as a public square.”

She added she has observedactivities at the park day andnight, with parents and grand-parents, teens playing games,concerts and weddings beingheld, and the park becoming asocial center for the township.

“It’s important for you toknow how good it is,” Trapp toldthe audience. “But seeds of dis-content were planted five yearsago when township trusteesobjected to a park districtappointment. As the politics ofChester ebbed and flowed, itspilled over to the park dis-trict.”

In what she called “the per-fect storm,” the park board’sfunds were drastically cut whentrustees stopped giving thempart of the township’s insidemillage, the State of Ohio elimi-nated the intangible tax, prob-lems arose from frequentturnovers among both the parkboard and township trustees,

and political factions within thecommunity caused misunder-standing and confusion betweenboth groups.

The court created the parkboard in 1984 at the request ofthe trustees, as a separate insti-tution not governed by thetrustees.

At their second meeting, thenew park board adopted bylaws,some of which conflicted withtheir original motions, but thebylaws were never amended.

During subsequent years,board members increasinglyignored the bylaws and theirpolicy manual, which causedconfusion over time, Trapp said.

“Misinformation becamefodder for various political fac-tions within the township,” shesaid.

She likened the situation toa child’s game of “telephone,” inwhich someone whispers a mes-sage to another person, whopasses it on, until the final mes-sage is nothing like the original.

“It’s a case of good old fash-ioned political rivalries andscores to settle,” Trapp said.“There is disharmony due tounfounded rumors ... with mis-understanding building overtime.”

She said she found no evi-dence of disregard for Ohio lawon the part of the park board,but what she characterized aserrors of omission versus errorsof commission.

Opened just five months ago,the Chagrin Falls VeterinaryCenter is gaining attention forits innovative integrative well-ness for pet dogs and cats.

It offers a combination ofscience-based medical care,plant-based homeopathy reme-dies and natural food nutrition.

“We were brought up andconditioned to buy commercial

pet food without bothering tolook at the ingredients or thinkabout whether that’s the bestthing for our pets,” saidVeterinarian Carol Osborne.

It seems that just like theirhuman owners, processed foodsmay not be the best answer forsome animals.

who has practiced animal medicine formore than 25 years.

It’s a family affair with her daughter,Hallie Shanker, working as her combina-tion assistant and office manager.

“We are having so much fun workingtogether and have grown closer thanwe’ve ever been,” Osborne said.

Located next door to Warren HenryMusic at 530 East Washington Street, thepractice is also music to the ears of loyalcustomers.

Osborne’s long-term customer, SallyHarrold, of Bainbridge Township, nowcooks meals for her 11-year-old cockerspaniel, Bentley, which is something shenever thought she would be doing.

“My husband is jealous,” she said.“He says the dog eats better than hedoes. At first I thought Carol was insane,but I decided to try it if it would helpBentley.”

When she acquired the dog from abreeder, she knew it wasn’t the top dog.

“We were empty nesters and fell inlove with it,” she said. “I thought nobodyis going to pick this one. It had MartyFeldman eyes and its front feet wereturned outward.”

Harrold said her dog had a series ofhealth problems from constant itchingskin, skin infections, ear infections aswell as a sensitive stomach, along witheventual liver and kidney failure fromprescribed medications used to treat it.

“Bentley’s so much healthier with hishandmade natural diet, along with probi-otics and other natural remedies prescribedby Carol,” she explained. The dog feels bet-ter, has a nice coat and has 50 to 85 percentmore energy.”

The dog eats a scrambled egg forbreakfast and a Crockpot-cooked casse-role of chicken, rice and vegetables forother meals. Dessert is a carrot.

Preparing meals for a dog sounds likea lot of work, but Harrold said it is not.She cooks up a batch and freezes it inmeal-sized portions to defrost whenneeded.

Previously overweight, the dog couldnot jump up on the bed due to arthritis,it now shows the playfulness of a puppy,as evidenced by its non-stop romping inOsborne’s office.

“A common problem with aging isthat pets put on too much weight andbecome sedentary, then arthritis sets inon the hips and back legs,” Osborneexplained. “The benefit of natural reme-dies versus prescription medicine is theydo not have side effects on the organs,

such as the liver and kidneys.”Osborne said Bentley was experienc-

ing liver and kidney failure, which hasbeen reversed under her care. She addedthat when an animal does not feel well, itis not active and gains weight, adding toits problems.

Among other remedies, Osborneadministered a treatment using organiccoffee to detoxify the dog’s liver.

“I’m also a scientist and trained vet-erinarian,” Osborne pointed out. “I alsouse traditional medicine to treat animalsand keep them healthy.”

Harrold has been a customer ofOsborne’s for 20 years when she workedat a different veterinary clinic. Bentley isher third cocker spaniel. In the year hia-tus when Osborne lived out of town,Harrold said her dog’s health declinedunder traditional veterinary care.

What other types of food are goodfor feeding pets?

According to Osborne, green beans,broccoli, cauliflower, apples and melonsare good for them. But, she cautionedthat grapes and raisins are harmful toanimals.

“Crushed pineapple is good for cats,especially if you have problems withthem using their litter box,” she added.

Harrold had had an artist do a por-trait of Bentley before his transforma-tion.

“We bumped into the artist a fewyears later and she did not recognizehim,” she said. “The artist thought I hadgotten a new dog. And, in a way I did.”

Osborne said that genetics accountsfor about 30 percent of an animal’slongevity, which leaves lifestyle, includ-ing diet and exercise accounting for theother 70 percent.

She said vaccinations, especially forolder pets, can cause other problems andshould be considered by the ownerrather than routinely given.

“Over time, pets may build up anti-bodies from routine vaccinations andthey may reach a level where they don’tneed vaccinated,” she said. “We have atendency to over-vaccinate. I often rec-ommend first doing a blood test to see ifone is needed.”

Osborne said over-vaccinations cancause a type of cancer in mature cats andother medical problems in mature dogs.She said a note from the vet that the ani-mal is protected will satisfy most needsfor vaccination records.

Osborne sees mostly cats and dogs inher practice, but has treated rabbits,guinea pigs and other small animals. Shealso accepts emergencies.

GARDENING

SUBMITTEDPerennial Gardeners of Chesterland president Ruth Philbrick is pictured with some of thenearly 300 milkweed plants the club gave away at ChesterFest, encouraging people to sup-port the Monarch butterflies.

She said trustees lately have questionedwhether donations of time and materials tothe park have been properly handled, butwhile she found nothing illegal, she recom-mended any donations be documented inthe board’s meeting minutes.

Trapp made several recommenda-tions for the park board, which included:

• Holding their meetings on differentdays than when township trustees meet;

• Keeping more detailed meetingminutes;

• Determining their meeting sched-ule for the year at their first meeting ofeach year;

• Revising their bylaws;• Providing an up-to-date policy

manual for each member;• Passing a policy that checks be

signed by two board members and thefiscal officer;

• Adding two more board members;• Increasing their insurance;• Filing their bonds with the county,

as required by the Ohio Revised Code;• Hiring regular legal counsel, either

through the Geauga County Prosecutor’sOffice or through private attorneys;

• And developing a long-term strate-gic plan.

She recommended township trusteesre-establish financial stability to the parkboard by bringing back their guaranteedrevenue through inside millage.

Grendell passed out binders withcopies of the report to the township andpark officials, and told the public thatone will be placed in the West Geauga

Library. In addition, a copy will be avail-able for public view at the probate court.

Anyone can also request a copy bycalling the court at 440-279-1830,Grendell said. He added he welcomespublic comment, in writing, submitted tothe court as part of the public record.

Grendell thanked Trapp for her work,which he called “extremely helpful.”

He told the park board he expects tosee them revise their bylaws, complywith Ohio Sunshine Laws, develop a pol-icy and procedure manual and submit alist of donations to the judge for hisapproval.

He told trustees he expected them todevelop an adequate funding mechanismfor the park board.

“Last but not least, I do expect acooperative spirit,” Grendell told bothgroups. “Play nice in the sandbox.”

After the hearing adjourned, formertownship Trustee Pat Mula, who servedon one of the first park boards in the late1980s, said she believed the report was“quite good.”

“The park board has been under fireby vindictive people who don’t under-stand the process,” Mula said. “The mas-ter commissioner report exposed that, soeveryone can see for themselves that theallegations floating around the commu-nity were unfounded.”

Current park board member and for-mer Trustee Clay Lawrence said he waspleased with the report.

“We’re already developing a five-year strategic plan and we’ve already re-written the bylaws. We just haven’t sub-mitted them yet because this reviewprocess was ongoing,” Lawrence said. “Ithink we can all move forward togethernow in a positive way.”

Report from page 1

Chagrin Valley Little Theatre willcommence its 85th consecutive seasonwith the annual “Murder by the Falls”event Sept. 5-6.

The evening begins with a pre-showhors d'oeuvre reception with a wine andbeer cash bar, followed by Act I, inwhich the crime is committed.

During intermission, the audienceprowls North Franklin and Main streetsin Chagrin Falls Village looking for clueshidden in the shop windows, and inter-views live actors to gain additional infor-mation about the suspects.

A catered dessert buffet follows,where audience members fill in answersheets with their best guesses. Theevening completes with the revealing ofthe killer's identity in Act II and prizesbeing awarded to the winning team.

Each edition of “Murder by the Falls”is an original comedy/mystery written andperformed by the theater's “regulars” andfriends. This year's script, entitled“Chagrin Idol: A Killer Competition” ispenned by Eric Oswald and BrendaRedmond, and directed by Don Bernardo,all of whom have been involved in severalprevious “Murder by the Falls” events.

In this year’s edition, guests will findout what happens when a teen heart-throb, a sexy Latin diva, a strung-outrock icon, two Italian baritones, an ethe-real Irish singer, three star-struckteenagers and an international man ofmystery descend on the sleepy village of

Chagrin Falls for an international realityTV music competition being broadcastworldwide. The cast of more than 20 fea-tures cameos by local officials, includingMayor Thomas Brick, Police Chief TomBrosius and Fire Marshall Jim Alunni ofChagrin Falls, as well as Mayor MattBrett of South Russell.

Tickets for “Chagrin Idol: A KillerCompetition” are $65 per person, with 50percent being a tax-deductible donationto Chagrin Valley Little Theatre. Ticketsare available by phone at 440-247-8955from 1-6 p.m. Monday through Saturday.Audiences for “Murder by the Falls” aregrouped into teams of eight “detectives,”and are encouraged to reserve for theirentire party at once if possible.

ChesterFest ConfusionThank you Chesterland Chamber of

Commerce for putting on ChesterFesttwo weekends ago. I have participated thepast two years and have first- handknowledge of the time and effort it takesto put on such an event. A lot of organiza-tions and events state that they bring thecommunity together, ChesterFest actuallydoes bring the community together.Where else will you see over 60 localbusinesses and organizations, thousandsof residents and our Chesterland Trusteesin one place having so much fun! I wouldespecially like to thank John South andWendy Insana from the ChesterlandChamber for taking on this project andmaking it better each and every year.

The way that ChesterFest ended thisyear was a shame, but not the Chamber’sfault. Having attended two meetings lead-ing up to the event I know that theChamber had a permit to use the entirepark from Friday afternoon until Saturdaynight for cleanup, same as last year. At thelast minute the Chesterland Park Boardgranted a second permit for a wedding forSaturday at 4 p.m., right in the middle ofChesterfest. Once the wedding began,attendees left in droves and sponsors beganpacking up. The residents were ripped off,the 60-plus sponsors were ripped off, thepeople who wanted to hear the best bandaround in Top Dog were ripped off.

Residents should be made aware thatthe Chamber does not issue permits touse the gazebo, the Chesterland Park

SUBMITTEDThe Chesterland Innovation Center, located in West Geauga Plaza, held an open house Aug.25. The purpose of the center is to help local entrepreneurs launch and grow their business,and to keep them connected with local resources. Pictured are Susan Swartzwelder and TimLybarger.

Board issues the permits. I believe thatthe Chesterland Park Board needs to pro-vide a public explanation of why it issuedtwo permits for the same time and issue

an apology to the Chesterland Chamberof Commerce and its 60-plus sponsors ofChesterFest who paid good money for anevent that should have lasted until 5 p.m.

Thank you Chamber, John andWendy. See you next year, even if it is ata different location!

On Aug. 19, in a special meeting,Chester Township Trustees continuedthe public hearing of outdoor hydronicheaters.

The zoning commission made sever-al changes to the scope of the resolu-tion and the modification was unani-mously approved. Zoning resolution Z-2014-1 will be placed on the township’swebsite after it has been formally sub-mitted to the Geauga County PlanningCommis-sion. We thank the zoningcommission for re-visiting this complexissue and making a resolution theboard supports.

On Aug. 22, in a re-scheduled regularmeeting, the board approved variousfinancial items, including monies forrepair to an EMS squad air conditioner,which is important for patient comfort,and required training for Pete Petersenof the road department. He collects sam-ples and oversees the public water sup-ply to township buildings.

Cadet Chad Heppert was promotedto part-time firefighter EMT-paramedicand we congratulate him.

The board approved scrapping theobsolete and unfit for use police depart-ment generator, as is required by law.

A decision on several items (fencing,cement ingots, thermal imaging cameras)was delayed until more information iscollected. Discussion was initiatedregarding at what point in the hiringprocess for certain job positions shouldthe trustees participate in the interviewprocess. Our road superintendent is cur-rently reviewing candidates for themechanic position because of a forth-coming retirement.

The board also approved a letter ofauthorization for North American WasteSolutions to collect information on solid

waste services the township is paying forat its various properties and to evaluateopportunities for consolidating this serv-ice, and include “curbside” recycling forthe departments and town hall as part ofthis analysis and evaluation.

A purchase order for a four-doorcrew truck for the road department($28,703.50) was approved. We learnedthrough this process that the state bidprice was not the best deal, and furtherresearch resulted in a savings of morethan $4,000 over the state bid price.

There was a brief discussion regard-ing a meeting with the Ohio Departmentof Transportation regarding drainage atstate Route 306 and Sherman. The town-ship will consider hiring an engineer toprovide some recommendations for thisarea.

Trustee Bud Kinney presented a ren-dering of the proposed township sign,prepared by Steve Averill with the helpof Dennis Farmer from the ChesterlandLions Club. This monument will be simi-lar in design to those used at the ChesterSafety Town. The township is activelyseeking everyone’s input and participa-tion in designing, purchasing andinstalling this sign.

The second ChesterFest at Parksidewas held. It was a wonderful success,and the long hours and hard work put inby so many volunteers including thepark commissioners, the park board sec-retary/fiscal officer and the ChesterlandChamber of Commerce members wasevident in the quality of this event. Weencourage you to continue supportingour local businesses throughout theyear.
