By Angela Gartner West Geauga Schools Board of Education is tying up loose ends after last month’s heated superintendent hiring. As Geoff Palmer sat in on Monday night’s board meeting — just days before he officially became superintendent — two board members were accused of violating board policy. Board members Michael Kilroy and Jackie Dottore were questioned about releasing statements regarding items discussed in executive session at the June 23 board meeting. Following that meeting, Kilroy had told the Geauga County Maple Leaf he “blew the cover off” the executive session during the public portion. In particular, he said he didn’t like the fact that when the board was in a “conundrum” about who to pick for superintendent, it didn’t solicit public input on the finalists. Instead, the board invited administrative staff into executive session to give feedback on the candidates. Dottore said she had no idea that she was in violation and didn’t fully understand the policy as a new board member. During the meeting, she told board members she hasn’t read the policy, calling the entire thing “a miscommunication.” “Executive session is important,” Kilroy said. “I am sorry I was pushed into a position where I needed to say something. It was never my intention for people to feel they can’t speak confidentially.” The West Geauga Schools Bylaws and Policies, Section 0166 – Executive Session states, “in keeping with the confid- ential nature of executive sessions, no member of the board, committee or subcom- mittee shall disclose the content of discussions that take place during such sessions.” The board voted to review, discuss and reaffirm the board of education policy summary at the Sept.10 regular meeting. “There is no mechanism for removing board members,” said board member Ben Kotowski. “We all have to work together. We are going to need to discuss confidential matters in the future.” He said he wants the board to move forward so that everyone is on the same page.

The door to a new consign-ment boutique opens, late-Julyhumidity blows in and a fewcustomers buzz around like flies.
A few minutes later, a realfly shows up, landing on top ofracks of clothing and householdgoods.
“It must be a fly with apassion for fashion,” the store
owner says, chasing it away withher hand. “It’s hot outside and Idon’t blame him for coming in.”
The store owner is GayleTuttle and the boutique isPassion for Fashion, a ChesterTownship consignery located at12767 Chillicothe Road thatopened for business July 16.
The store, sitting in aChillicothe Road plaza withGuido’s Pizza Haven, Rise and
Dine Café and ConvenientFood Mart, sells women’sclothing and accessories,household goods and otherwares.
Tuttle and her businesspartner, Roseann Armenti,opened the store to fulfill along-standing dream of openingtheir own boutique.
The consignment processinvolves customers bringing initems in pristine condition andsigning up to be consigners.
They consign their items toTuttle and Armenti for 90 days.If the items sell in that period,the store receives a 50 percentcut and the consigner receivesthe remaining 50 percent.
“This is a great opportunityfor people,” Gayle said. “Wewomen have many clothes inour closet. We may have boughtsomething and may have neverworn it, so it’s hanging therewith the tag still on. With thisprocess, we take care ofmerchandising, setting thepricing and markdown if we feelit would be necessary for them.”
She added, “Even if itdoesn’t sell after 90 days, theycan choose to donate it and wecan generate a tax receipt forthem.”
Friendship Forged The origin of the bright, airy
fashion shop began with achance meeting in a somber,business-like dental office.
Tuttle, a 10-year Chesterresident, met Armenti in theoffice a few years back. She
Over time, they becamecasual acquaintances. AfterArmenti retired from the office,the Mayfield Heights residentbecame a personal trainer lastyear.
“One day, Gayle called meout of the blue and asked me totrain her. That’s how we gotback together,” Armenti said.
Both of them reconnectedand worked at the Talbots storeat the Legacy Village complexin Beachwood for a short time.
Armenti had years ofexperience at clothingboutiques and Tuttle had retailmanagement experience withhigh-end retailers and aspecialty food market inCleveland.
“I’ve always wanted to openup a shop like this,” Armentisaid. “I said, ‘Gayle, come andjoin me.’”
Tuttle said she had to mullover it a bit, but decided to join.
“I am a process person and Ihad to think about it and proveit out and do my detail thing,”she added.
As far as the store’s title,Armenti said it came to her in afit of inspiration while waitingto hear back from Tuttle oneday — While standing in hercloset, of course.
“Well, I’m standing in mycloset thinking, ‘How am Igoing to do this?’ If she doesn’tcome on board, how will I do it?It occurred to me I have apassion for fashion and I ranout and told my husband,‘That’s the name of my store,’”she recalled.
After both women decidedto join forces, they had to findan actual store to market theirwares. Once again, providencestruck.
“I was going by the plazaone day and saw the sign for
this vacant space and it was oneof those things meant to be,”Tuttle said. “The minute wecame in, it felt right. We justknew it was the right spot for us.From there, everything fell intoplace.”
Goodies and GoalsThe store’s items include
clothing and housewares fromfamous retailers like AnnTaylor, Talbots, Ralph Lauren,Jones New York and othernotable brands.
They offer a full range ofsizes from women’s to juniors.The housewares includedecorative items, bowls, plattersand candlestick holders.
“We just both love consign-ment shopping and we look atthings differently. We want tosee how we can repurpose andreinvent something and look atit in a different way,” Tuttle said,adding she and Armenti are notjust sellers, but shoppers as well.
“We’ve had businessesbefore and we’re committed tobeing small business owners,”she said. “They’re the backboneof America.”
The store is promoting itselfas a boutique with differentitems and services, such aslending their fashion sense totheir customers and helpingthem create unique outfits.
It is also receptive to itscustomers’ needs and “plans to
expand based on those needs,”Tuttle said.
“We’re looking to make thisthe best consignment storearound and build a reputation,”she said. “I think for Roseannand I, because we have such alove and passion for it, we wantto make people leave herefeeling good and lookingfabulous.”
The store itself opened July16, but the grand opening isplanned for later this fall.
Tuttle said the businessplans on expanding its juniorssection as well.
Whether it’s a prom,homecoming dress or anevening dress worn to awedding or special event, mostwomen of all ages only wearthose dresses once, maybe twice,she added.
“That gently worn dress isthe perfect piece to consign,”Tuttle said. “Consigning helpsus all to free up our closet spaceand to really understand whatworks in our wardrobe andwhat essentials might bemissing. Those consigned itemsthat sell can help to pay forthose new additions.”
She added, “And you mightjust find them at our store.”
They said the business isgetting the word out to the12,000-resident township.
Most recently, the duoappeared in the Fourth of Julyparade and handed out flyersand other advertisementspromoting the business.
But the best way is word ofmouth.
“We’ve had repeat custo-mers come back and tell theirfriends. Gayle and I ask, ‘Howdid you hear about us? Andusually more times than not, it’sthrough a friend that was here,’”Armenti said. “It is really aboutreferrals and the relationshipswe build with people when theycome in here. It’s like being intheir best friend’s closet andshopping.”
The store is open 11.a.m. to 6p.m. Monday; 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday;10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Thursday; 10a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday.

If passed, the levy wouldcost less than the previous bondissue.
It will fund new roofs for allWest Geauga Schools, which arein dire need of replacement,school officials said.
“This is the number oneissue that confronts this schooldistrict,” said James Russo,operations manager at WestGeauga Schools. “We continueto repair the roofs, but we canonly repair so long. The longeryou allow problems with waterintrusion; it deteriorates roof
decks and creates otherproblems.”
He said the plan, if the levypasses, is to replace the roof atWestwood Elementary Schoolnext summer, which is in theworst condition.
Over the next five years,each school is scheduled to havea new roof.
Russo added, while themoney is predominantly forroofs, the district should haveleft over funding for otherdistrict wide repairs, upgradesto school equipment andreplacing three school buses.
West Geauga Schools willalso be holding a free ice creamsocial to formally welcomePalmer from 4-7 p.m. Aug. 9 atWest Geauga Middle Schoolcafeteria.

2012, with the last collection in2013. If passed in November,the proposed renewal would notbegin collection until 2014.
Trustee Judy Caputo notedthe levy could be placed on theNov. 6 ballot and, if it doesn’tpass, could be put before votersagain next year.
The road department isdepending on money from thetownship general fund to paycontractors to pave severalroads this year at an estimatedcost of $352,000, Caputo said.
Joyce said he is opposed tocontinuing to finance roadpaving out of the general fund.
“The road departmentshould always have beenfunded more from levies andless from the general fund,” hesaid during Tuesday’s specialmeeting.
With the estate tax goingaway and fewer tax dollarscoming from the state, thetownship general fund isshrinking, Joyce said, addingmoney for roads will no longerbe available from the generalfund within two years.
“This is the year we shoulddo something,” he said.
Trustee Ken Radtke said ifthe 1.5-mill levy were to beplaced on the ballot as areplacement levy based on 2012property values, it would yield
about $518,576 per year. The change would cost
homeowners an additional $34per year for every $100,000 ofhome value, Joyce said.
However, Radtke said he isnot comfortable with any action— placing a renewal or areplacement levy on theNovember ballot — withoutmore information.
“What is our plan?” heasked. “We have such a shortwindow now and we need afive-year plan.”
Trustees were scheduled todiscuss the road levy again onJuly 26, but opted against itbecause Caputo was not present.
“I would want a full board,yes,” Joyce told a resident whoasked if all three trustees wereneeded to discuss it. “This is notsomething that should bedropped on somebody notpresent, so I’m pulling it off (themeeting agenda).”
Joyce also explained hewanted to review with thecurrent board a road levyanalysis former RoadSuperintendent Chuck Mascellaprepared for a previous boardof trustees several years ago.
That analysis projected thetownship road fund “would gonegative very fast,” he saidduring the July 26 regulartrustees meeting.
Radtke also recommendedJuly 24 taking a formal surveyof township residents.
“How does the public want
us to spend their tax dollars?”he asked.
Joyce said a survey wouldcost about $30,000 and take sixmonths for a professionalsurveying firm to create,complete and collate.
The board chairman said hefeels residents elected thetrustees to make those decisions.
Election results informtrustees if they are correct inknowing what the voters want,he added.
Road Superintendent RobPealer, who has been employedby the township for less than ayear, said July 24 the townshiphas been repaving roads as theyneed it, not on a regularschedule.
“We could use more criteria,”he said, adding the paving hasnot been entirely random.
A plan to rotate equipmentis in place and Pealer said hehas an idea of which roads willneed work through 2015, butnot a lot of details yet.
The township used to have aschedule whereby roads wouldbe resurfaced every 13 to 15years. Now the concept is toresurface every 10 to 12 years,he explained.
Caputo said the townshiphas been failing to meet its planfor 10 years. Joyce added theinfrastructure would begin tofail if funding for repaving is notfound.
Radtke said his idea of aplan would be to evaluate each
road, determine its condition,establish the options and lay outthe approximate costs to do thework.
“There’s no special lay-outof what we want to do. It’s notwell defined, in my opinion,”Radtke said.
The first-year trustee addedhe favors placing the 1.5-milllevy on the ballot next year as arenewal.
Fiscal Officer Mike Starksuggested a compromise wouldbe to put the levy on as arenewal this year, put a five-year plan together in the nextyear and go back to the votersfor additional road funds nextyear.
But Joyce said, “We’re toofar apart and the time is too
close. I see no reason to goforward at this point.”
He asked Pealer, Stark andRadtke to work together on adetailed road maintenance plan.
Chester already has a 0.9-mill renewal fire levy and a 1.9-mill renewal police and EMSlevy on the ballot thisNovember.
The fire levy yields about$260,000 and the police andEMS levy yields about $549,000annually, according to theauditor’s office.
In 2013, a 1.5-mill roadimprovements levy from 1978will be on the ballot as well as a0.8-mill renewal fire levy from1993 that yields about $170,000per year.
through driveways andwindows, a renovated kitchen,modern eating areas, seating for100 patrons and new signage.
“The drive-through drive-ways will be side-by-side, whichwill eliminate rush periodshaving cars going out toMayfield Road. That’s the firstthing you’re going to noticeabout it,” Powers said. “Thekitchen will allow us to takecare of the customers in anefficient manner.”
The new store, which mayopen in late October, willmeasure 46 feet wide by 120feet long, a total of 5,520 squarefeet, topping the old store’s 56-foot-by-90-foot dimension and
5,040 square feet of space.Powers, who operates the
restaurants with his wife, Mary,said he took advantage ofcurrent once-in-a-lifetime lowinterest rates to finance theoperation’s rebuild, which willbring in an additional 25employees and managers.
Powers said the idea to build anew store came after he assistedhis cousin in rebuilding aMcDonald’s in Rocky River.
The cousin decided to rebuildhis location there and Powers washelping.
“I was taking a look at theplans and the financing andcouldn’t believe what washappening with the interest ratestoday,” he said. “I told my wife,‘There may be a chance for us tobe able to afford this on our ownand bring in a new facility to
Chesterland. We weren’t planningto do this.’”
The couple ran the numbersand figured they could rebuild thestore and mold it in their image.
“It was just a chance for us todo something we wanted to do,”the owner said.
A McHistory at a Corner The current Chester Township
facility, 8329 Mayfield Road,opened for business in November1984.
That first franchise ownersold the establishment toPowers in August 1988.
Before the McDonald’s wasbuilt, a blue house owned byFrank Bagaria had to be movedwest to an adjacent property.
At that time, the zoningcode required green spacebuffers — hence, the large
lawns and green space aroundthe restaurant — for those typesof establishments, Powers said.
“We sit on 1.9 acres andthere was even two acres ofgreen space behind us (as partof the buffer),” he added.
Longtime Chester Townshipattorney Joe Weiss, whorepresented McDonald’s in the1980s when the restaurant wasbuilt, said the community wasnot as receptive then as it isnow to fast-food establishments.
This time around, he saidcommunity support “couldn’thave been greater,” andcredited township officials andZoning Inspector Steve Averillfor their help during the zoningprocess.
“It was a bit of a challengethen, getting the community tobuy into the idea ofMcDonald’s,” Weiss said. “But itended up benefiting thecommunity. You have people ofall different age groups workingthere — teenagers, seniorcitizens and the like — andeveryone else.”
He added, “It became arendezvous point.”
Powers ran the ChesterTownship store until takingover a Mentor-on-the-Lakestore in 1999.
He also acquired a thirdlocation on Heisley Road inMentor in 2005.
The Chester Township storeunderwent renovation in 2004with the addition of a seconddrive-through window.
McDonald’s awardedPowers’ franchise the right tooperate in its current state until2024.
But looking at where thestore would be then versus thecurrent rebuild would allow thefranchise’s shelf-life to extend
well beyond the 2024 date.“We have a great reputation.
And now the McDonald's willbe able to run for another 30years or so before it needs amajor rebuild,” Powers said.
Baseball Kid RealizesCareer Dream
It started with a little kidvisiting the store and endedwith a management job.
For Mike Ianiro, manage-ment of McDonald’s down thestreet was his dream.
But at first, it was just aboutcoming into the store and givingPowers a hard time.
“Mike grew up five housesaway,” Powers said. “He used tocome here as a 7-year-old andbother me. He’d sit on the ledgein front of the front counterwith the ketchup and othercondiments and he’d try totrade baseball cards for foodwith me.”
Powers, who said he’s knownthe Ianiro family since Mikewas a youngster, becameacquainted with him and hisfriends, many of whom workedat the restaurant at varioustimes.
The McDonald’s wasIaniro’s first job, and, at thatpoint, he decided he wanted towork there long-term.
After a stint at HomeDepot, Ianiro became storemanager in 2006.
While he could not bereached for comment for thisstory, Powers had nothing butgood things to say about theveteran manager.
“He is a hard worker andgood manager. He loves peopleand tries to please everycustomer every time,” Powerssaid.

World War II veteran andU.S. Marine William Maiden isgood as gold.
And so are about 400 of hisfellow African-AmericanMarines, who collectively wereawarded the prestigiousCongressional Gold Medal fortheir efforts as Montford PointMarine training recruits sevendecades ago.
Maiden and the rest of theMarines received honors duringa three-day event in WashingtonD.C. last month, which includeda ceremony at the historic U.S.Marine Barracks in the nation’scapital.
At the age of 89, Maidenreflected on his thoughts aboutthe medal, his with theChesterland News and GeaugaCounty Maple Leaf on Monday.
“God brought me throughall of this for a reason,” saidMaiden, who has lived inChester Township since 1964.“For that, I am grateful to Himfor his glory. And to my fellowMarines for serving.”
An executive order, a newbase camp and desegregation
The Montford Point storybegan in the halls of the WhiteHouse on June 25, 1941.
That year, PresidentFranklin D. Roosevelt signedexecutive order 8802, whichgave African-Americans anopportunity be recruited intothe Corps. At that time,Brigadier General Keller E.Rocher headed a board formedto study the viability of African-American Marines in theComposite Defense Battalion—a heavy combat unit thatincluded tanks, infantry andaircraft.
In the early 1940s, Marinestrained in two places: Ft.Pendleton, Calif., and ParrisIsland, S.C., training grounds forrecruits west and east of theMississippi River, respectively.
But there were no trainingsites for African-Americanrecruits. Thus, the MontfordPoint Marine Camp facilitysprung into existence as a sub-unit of the massive MarineCorps Base Camp Lejeune inNorth Carolina, a six-hour drivenortheast of Parris Island.About 20,000 African-American recruits—or about 10percent of the Marine Corps’total strength in World War II—passed through the base camp
between 1942 and 1949, beforeit was reorganized and re-named Camp Johnson,according to the MontfordPoint Marine Associationwebsite.
The “Montford PointMarines” fought in the waralongside regular Marine units.Some of them stayed at thecamp, some of them fought inthe war itself, while others, suchas Maiden, served overseas inU.S. territories such as Hawaii.Initially, the Marine Corpswanted to discharge theAfrican-American Marines andreturn the Corps to an all-whiteorganization.
But the war changed that.Exceptional recruits provedthemselves and became drillinstructors, such as Mortimer A.Cox, Arnold R. Bostick, EdgarR. Davis, Jr., Gilbert H."Hashmark" Johnson andEdgar R. Huff. As the African-Americans proved themselves,the Marines realized they madea formidable addition to theirCorps. In 1948, President HarryS. Truman issued executiveorder 9981, negatingsegregation. A year later,Montford Point Marine Campwas deactivated. Twenty-fiveyears later, Montford Point wasrenamed Camp Johnson, inhonor of “Hashmark” Johnson,a famous drill instructor andone of the first African-Americans to join the Corps.
‘The Marines Gave MeThe Discipline I Needed’
Maiden was born in Dayton,Ala., and was drafted at age 20.He went sent to Ft. Benning,Ga., and was examined by U.S.Army military doctors. Thedoctors found a soft spot on hislungs and classified him as 4-F,an “unfit for service”designation. After he leftAlabama, he was ordered toreport to the draft board inMichigan and received anothermedical check. This time, therewas no spot on his lungs.
“God must have removedit,” he said, adding neither henor the medical staff knew whatthe reason for the spot.
At the age of 21, the draftboard then sent Maiden toMontford Point. Once atMontford Point, he wentthrough six months of basictraining, starting in May 1944.Summers in North Carolinawere hot, made worse by the
humid conditions of theswampy terrain.
Maiden said the MarineCorps were a great benefit tohim because the organizationset him straight for life.
“A lot of them didn’t make itthe first six months of bootcamp because it was hard,rugged and intense,” he said.“Some cried like babies. TheMarines gave me discipline thatI needed and I was at a pointwhere I needed the Corps.”
Early on in training while atMontford Point, he received theHonor Man award, whichdesignated him as a platoonleader during basic training.
After successfully comple-ting basic training, newlyminted Private First ClassMaiden became an ammunitionhandler and post exchange(PX) handler with the 11thMarine Ammunition Companyfrom Nov. 1944 to July 1946. Heperformed his duties in Hawaii,then an American territory thatwould become a state 13 yearslater.
“We handled and storedammunition and shipped it tothe South Pacific Theater,” saidthe Marine, who ultimatelyreached the rank of sergeant.
After he was discharged, hewent back to Detroit andrejoined his wife, whom he hadmarried in 1943. Thanks to theMontgomery G.I. Bill, he wentto school at Lawrence Instituteof Technology—currentlyLawrence TechnologicalUniversity, a private university.He came to Cleveland in May1948 and worked at EuclidRoad Machinery and GeneralMotors’ Euclid plant for 33combined years, retiring in 1979.Maiden then volunteered at thethen-Geauga Hospital—nowUniversity Hospitals GeaugaMedical Center—as a patienttransporter. In the meantime, hemoved from Cleveland to hisChester Township home in 1964and began attending services atthe then-new St. Mark LutheranChurch.
“I’ve been going there 48years. I can’t believe it,” he said.
Segregation Not New toMaiden
Maiden, who grew up inAlabama, said the segregatednature of Montford Point wasnot unfamiliar to him.
“I was used to it for 20 years,”he added. “That being said, I didnot encounter white officers untilafter boot camp, when I metthem during ammunitiontraining and on the rifle range.”
After Montford Point, hewas sent to a different camp inHawaii—Makaha Valley—notCamp Catlin, a base populatedby whites. He also said theracial issues did not faze himlike others, especially a fewNortherners.
“There were guys fromDetroit accustomed to adifferent lifestyle as it pertainedto the races. Things weredifferent up there,” Maiden saidof the northern city. “Althoughrelations between black andwhite were improved in Detroitversus Alabama, it was notcompletely desegregated (upthere).”
The armed services did notdesegregate until 1948. By then,Maiden had been out of theservice for two years.
“I was out by the time(President Harry S.) Trumandesegregated the units,” headded.
Today, that has all changed.He said he is pleased with theCorps’ efforts to integrate overthe past decades.
“I’m very grateful we have adesegregated system now.Segregation is not the intentionof God. We are all brothersunder God. And we should notbe segregated.”
Article Discovery Leads toa Ceremony, Recognition
Had it not been for lastmonth’s Cleveland visit by U.S.Marines as part of Marine Weekand a letter to an editor buried ina local daily, Maiden would notbe holding the CongressionalGold Medal in his hands.
He would have never knownabout it, had he not beenreading about Marine Week—aweeklong celebration of Marinehistory, traditions and Corpsvalues downtown. A blurb inthe paper caught his eye: Aletter to an editor, asking theeditor a question about theunheralded Montford PointMarines.
“The award ceremony (inWashington, D.C.) was comingup, and I had no idea about it,”Maiden said, adding he was ableto contact the man who wroteto the newspaper about theMarine unit.
Once he gained theappropriate information, herequested copies of his 1946discharge papers, and, once heacquired those, sent them to thePentagon for approval. Shortlythereafter, approval wasgranted and he madepreparations for the three-dayevent.
“I was excited, knowing I’dsee someone I knew there. I washoping to see (Drill Instructor)Arnold Bostick. I was hopinghe’d be there, but he wasn’t,”Maiden said, adding he didn’tsee anyone else from his unit.“But I am now able to stay intouch with the (entire) group ofMontford Marines and connectwith them.”
The three-day event tookplace at a hotel reception hall,the U.S. Capitol and the famousU.S. Marine Barracks, at whichtime they received their medals.
After returning home, heresumed life as normal, albeitwith the recognition of a jobwell-done.
Friends, Church a Havenof Faith
It’s an important word toMaiden, who said he considersthe Montford Point Marines ofthe 11th Ammunition Companypart of his family.
His family also includes hisimmediate relatives—hisbeloved wife, the late JenniferBoatwright, and his threechildren. He marriedBoatwright on Nov. 28, 1943 andshe passed away in 1999 after 56years of marriage. The couplebore two daughters-- HasaniMaiden-Perrin, of Kent; andGeneva Doreen Maiden, ofCookson, Okla.—and a son,David, who lives with Mr.Maiden in Chester Township.
Additionally, friends from St.Mark Lutheran Church are allalso considered family to him,such as Willoughby Hillsresident Susan Hallums.Hallums said she has knownMaiden for 15 years.
“It’s a big honor for him,”she said of him receiving themeal. “He’s a righteous andGodly person. He does notexpect accolades.

‘It Is an Institution ofChesterland’
He’s a restaurant manager,not a professional teacher, butsometimes the real world ofrestaurant operation teachesstudents life lessons.
Powers says he takes his roleas owner/operator to heart.
“I do feel like I’m a teacherto the kids that work there insome ways,” he said. “I lovebeing part of the community.It’s a great place to do business.
“I mean that, honestly,” hesaid.
The owner said the businessis in a “great” location, theChagrin Valley region.
He said he was proud to be a
franchise owner — a term forindependent operator — of aMcDonald’s and said 88 percentof McDonald’s storesnationwide are independentlyowned and operated byindividuals like him.
“Every night I drive homethrough the Chagrin Valley.Other people drive homethrough the freeway,” Powerssaid. “This is a great place to beinvolved with and greatpeople.”
When asked where he lived,he first said “Solon,” thenchanged his mind.
“I live here, but I sleep inSolon,” he laughed.
Weiss summed up whatMcDonald’s in Chesterlandmeans to the 12,000-residentcommunity:
“It is an institution ofChesterland.”
McDonald’sfrom page 3
“He’s a wonderful guy,”Hallums added. “He is proud ofwhat he is done but is notboastful.”
So low-key, in fact, the onlyway the church found out hewas awarded the medal wasbecause he told him he wasgoing to be absent from aprayer group. After asking himmore details, Hallums found outabout the medal.
“That’s how we found out.He never volunteered infor-mation and he was humble.”
She said he has a “beautifulvoice” and sings in the churchchoir—for weddings, funeralsand graduations. Hallums saidMaiden told her he “uses hisvoice for God’s glory.”Additionally, she said Maidenand his late wife always tooktime to volunteer at the ChagrinFalls Park neighborhood, wherethe pair taught residents togrow their own vegetables.
“He’s always there willing tohelp you in whatever you’redoing,” she said. “He was alsosomeone you could go to for aBiblical question.”
The congregation membersaid she could “go on forever”about how good Maiden was toher and St. Mark LutheranChurch.
“He doesn’t toot his ownhorn. We need to do it for him,”Hallums said. “There’s only afew of these men left. And here
we have one in Geauga Countyliving quietly, not expectinganything. His achievements arenoteworthy, especially at a timewhen the country was so evil toAfrican-Americans.”
Maiden said despite all ofthe struggles as a Marinestriving to overcome segre-gation in the 1940s, he alwaysfelt faith in God kept him goingthrough the trials of boot campand beyond.
“I give credit to God for mylife, for all that has happened init,” he said, quoting an entiresection of Proverbs, Chapter 3:“Trust in the Lord with all yourheart, and lean not on your ownunderstanding; in all your wayssubmit to him, and he will makeyour paths straight.
“With that said, I trust Himin faith forever,” Maiden said.“What I experienced, Iexperienced for a reason.”

Township BudgetOn July 12, Chester
Township Trustees held a publichearing to discuss the 2013budget that was due to thecounty by July 15, 2012.
After more than four hoursof public discussion, the publichearing was continued on July14 to ensure we met thedeadline.
On July 14, only two trusteeswere present at the meeting.
As a result, I was compelledto vote to approve the 2013budget of approximately $6.75million dollars to prevent ourtownship from losing about$45,000 in local governmentfund tax dollars.
My approval of this budgetis with great reservationbecause I do not believeadequate planning and analysisoccurred to justify some of theexpenditures.
In private industry, a budgetis created based on the previousyear's expenditures, forecastedincreases in expenses andplanned investments.
If you do not have sufficientdetail to define, justify anddefend each expenditure, itshould not be included in thebudget.
Government budgetingshould not be any different.
I give you my personalcommitment that the 2014budget process will be betterplanned, less rushed and morecomprehensive.
If you wish to contact me,please email me at [email protected] or call me at440-488-7471.
Ken Radtke, Jr.Chester Township Trustee
I attended the ChesterTownship Trustees’ July 26meeting to witness firsthand thecircus-like atmosphere that hashindered and crippled townshipbusiness for years.
What I saw and heard werea small group of hostile,recalcitrant residents — led byformer Trustee Ron Cotmanand his wife — who spoke toTrustee Chairman Mike Joycein a disrespectful, accusatory,rude, condescending andunprofessional tone.
I also saw Trustee KenRadtke, who assumed office inJanuary, espouse the venomthese residents spew by sittingidle with his head down as thesecitizens launched their diatribeagainst his colleague. WhateverRadtke’s personal orprofessional feeling are towardJoyce, he should have morerespect for the governmentalentity — and that includes thefiscal officer’s office — than toallow or condone such behavior,even if these people are hissupporters.
Finally, I saw an ineffectiveboard chairman relinquishcontrol over the meeting by
failing to enforce the veryguidelines he put in place tocontrol such nonsense.
The degree of contempt anddisdain that occurs at these bi-weekly meetings is shockingand should be a source ofembarrassment to all ChesterTownship residents.
Sadly, the valid points theCotmans make — and they didmake some, most notablyquestioning the need for a roadlevy and the parking of NelsonTree Service trucks on townshipproperty without an indemn-ification agreement in place —are shrouded in uncivil andcontemptible behavior (andchildish sound effects).
The July 26 trustees meetinglasted 54 minutes, more than 30minutes of which was consumedby “public comment.” Thisportion of the meeting wasmore akin to an inquisition orpublic trial than an opportunityfor residents to address trustees.
The only people who askquestions in these meeting arethe Cotmans and their disciples.Clearly, that is not what anyelected official envisions forpublic comment. But who intheir right mind would want toattend a trustees meeting tohear the Cotmans and theircohorts berate and argue withJoyce and Trustee Judy Caputo?
If Ron Cotman wants tomicro-manage township busin-ess why didn’t he run forreelection? Why isn’t his nameon the ballot this fall? Whydoesn’t his wife run for office?Let the citizens of ChesterTownship weigh in on youragenda.
But as I said earlier, the
blame does not rest entirely onCotman & Co. The trustees —all of three of them — shareequally, if not more, in theblame. They are willful playersin the “gotcha” game. Theyallow a handful of residents tohijack township business fortheir own personal agendas andvendettas; these people are notlooking to better ChesterTownship, they are looking todestroy or embarrass electedofficials who disagree withthem.
I also would encourage thetrustees to stand up for anddefend their department heads.Residents are not entitled todemand their attendance attrustees meetings so they caninterrogate them on the record.
Department heads haveoffice hours when residents canstop in and ask their questionsor obtain information. Thesepublic employees are not ontrial and trustees meetings arenot depositions. A recenttrustees meeting lasted nearlyfive hours. How much lessefficient would trusteesmeetings be if departmentheads were forced to take thestand?
My intention is not to castaspersions on the Cotmans andtheir friends, or the trustees.But they all need to takeresponsibility for the lack ofdecorum that pervades trusteesmeetings. Something has tochange and that starts withleadership.

West Geauga Local Schools2012-2013 Bus Schedules
DO NOT BE ALARMED IF YOUR ADDRESS DOES NOT APPEAR IN THE SCHEDULE, ALL RESIDENT CHILDREN WILL BE PICKED UP.
PLEASE ENCOURAGE YOUR CHILDREN TO RIDE THE BUS THE FIRST WEEK OF SCHOOL.
ALL BUS ROUTES AND BUS ASSIGNMENTS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE. ALL TIMES LISTED ON THE BUSROUTE SCHEDULE ARE APPROXIMATE AND MAY CHANGE DUE TO RIDERSHIP, TRAFFIC AND WEATHER CONDITIONS.
Please be patient the first few days of school as both drivers and students need time to work out a set pickup time.
NOTE SCHOOL RIDERSHIP POLICYBUS CHANGE REQUEST
In the event your student requires transportation to/from another destination other than your home address, you will need to complete a “Bus Change Request” form.The bus change request will only be honored for permanent before/after school childcare. The purpose of this policy is to insure that students who have had anapproved destination change are assigned the appropriate bus route and that their change in ridership can be recorded and filed. Once this change has beenapproved, the new destination will be that student’s permanent pick up/drop-off point. This year’s schedules reflect last year’s alternate pick up/ drop off changes.
Approval for “Bus Change Request” will only be granted for changes related to permanent before/after school childcare. This form can be found on the website,www.westg.org under administration – transportation - forms.
Please be aware that the bus change process takes 2-5 school days. No transportation changes can take place until building verification AND the TransportationSupervisor has approved the form.
BUS PASSWe also offer a “BUS PASS” program to parents/guardians. The “Bus Pass” allows a student to disembark at an address other than his/her home address while travelingon his/her normal bus route. Or the “BUS PASS” can request riding a different bus, however, ridership is dependent on available space on the “other” bus. The “BusPass” pass MUST BE sent to the student’s school’s main office. It will then be approved and returned to the student to give to the bus driver when boarding the bus.
Due to liability and safety concerns, handwritten notes will not be accepted. Both the “Bus Pass” and “Bus Change Request” forms must be completed and signed bythe parent/guardian. These forms can be found on the website www.westg.org under administration – transportation - forms.

Please note that an adult mustbe visible to the driver when dropping off your kindergartener. Please be patient the first few days of school as both drivers and students need time to work out a setpickup/drop-off time.
CUL-DE-SACS/SIDE STREETS – Cul-De-Sac and side streets will be reviewed by the transportation department. The policy is for kindergarten home pickup and/ordrop-off, when possible, whereby all cul-de-sacs which have a large turn-around or are dedicated township roads will be traveled. A road traveled for kindergartenmay not stay as a “traveled street” for other runs.
