It was a hot, early June dayand the sweat poured off ofPenny Orr’s forehead.“These are Japanese

Primrose,” she said as shehopped from one greenhousedisplay to the next like a frog ona lily pad.“This is our rock garden,”

stated the owner of PerennialsPreferred, gesturing at arectangular array of plants on abed in front of the MayfieldRoad garden center in ChesterTownship.Orr knows how to plant rock

gardens and roll with theevolving nature of gardeningand horticulture.

For her, the April opening ofher store helped nurture herlove for plants and gardens.The horticulturist brings 16

years of science education toher new business, along with astint as the past president of theAudubon Society of GreaterCleveland.She was born with a green

thumb, or rather, two greenhands as a result of too muchtime in her mother’s garden.“I began growing plants in

my mother’s cutting gardenwhen I was 2,” she said lastWednesday.She moved to Cleveland

from Boston in the 1970s andmanaged several greenhousebusinesses.

Orr also went to graduateschool and majored in ecologyat Case Western ReserveUniversity. Her life took her to the

campus of Hawken School,where she taught field ecologyand biology for over a decade. At Hawken, Orr worked

with a student group, MotleyGrounds Crew, whichperformed plantings for beauty,education and wildlife purposeson campus.

She also headed theperennials division at theformer Sunnybrook FarmsNursery in the late 1980s. Orr has brought several

former Sunnybrook Farmsworkers to her new business,including Lorinda Plank, alongtime Chester resident, avidgardener and past president ofthe Perennial Gardeners ofChesterland.

After 37 years in the fire andrescue service, Munson FireChief Bernie Harchar has seena lot of changes and he expectsthere will be more.But he won't be in Munson

to see them.The chief is officially retiring

June 30 and will be moving toThe Villages in Florida later inthe summer.When Harchar took the job

as chief in 1990, he had alreadybeen a member of the City ofEuclid Fire Department for 15years and was well assimilatedinto the culture.“I love the fire service. I've

loved it since the day I started,”said Harchar, sitting behind his

desk at the fire station the weekbefore his retirement.He loved the work enough

to spend a 24-hour shift atEuclid Fire Department thenput in time as chief in Munson,a schedule he maintained untilhe retired from Euclid in 2002,he said.By then he had seen a lot of

growth in the Munson depar-tment.“It was one of the fastest

growing townships in GeaugaCounty,” Harchar said. During that decade, he

worked with the membership andtrustees to advance the volunteer,part-time organization into avolunteer, full-time department.

As of Thursday afternoon,accused Chardon High Schoolshooter T.J. Lane has not postedbond, but that could change atany moment.Lane, 17, remains detained at

the Portage-Geauga CountyJuvenile Detention Center inRavenna, where he has beensince the Feb. 27 shooting thatkilled three students andwounded three others.On Monday, Lane was

scheduled to be transported tothe Geauga County SafetyCenter after pleading “notguilty” to all six charges againsthim at his June 8 arraignment.However, he has evaded the

county jail thanks to ananonymous benefactor who hasagreed to pay the $120 dailycost to keep him in the youthcenter.Defense attorneys Ian

Friedman and Mark DeVan hadfiled a motion under seal tokeep Lane at the detention

center. The State of Ohio didnot object to the request.Geauga County Common

Pleas Court Judge David Fuhryruled Monday that Lane canremain at the facility until suchtime as he posts bond, althoughhe’s required to pay the dailycost of detention.It is unclear whether Lane’s

guardians, Jack and CarolNolan, are paying for hisdetainment there or some thirdparty.In a separate order, Fuhry

also imposed conditions onLane’s release should he postbond, which sources close to thecase believe could be imminent.“(Lane) shall be immed-

iately transported by theGeauga County Sheriff’s Dep-artment from the Portage-Geauga Juvenile DetentionCenter to a secure mentalhealth facility approved by thecourt, and that (Lane) shallremain at said facility until

T.J. Lane Has Not Posted Bond –Yet

further order of court,” thejudge wrote. If Lane should no longer

require mental health treatment,

he would be returned to theyouth center until “finaldisposition against him,” Fuhrysaid.During Lane’s arraignment,

defense counsel Mark DeVanhad requested Lane remain inthe detention center until trial,which is currently set for Aug. 14."The reason for this request

is based upon ... thepsychological preliminaryevaluation by Dr. SandraMcPherson and we requestcontinued detention at thejuvenile center," DeVan toldJudge Forrest Burt during thehearing.Burt agreed to let Lane

remain at the youth center, butonly until June 18, when he was tobe transported to the county jail. Geauga County Prosecutor

David Joyce had asked thecourt to consider a $2.5 millioncash bond while Lane’s lawyersasked for a $500,000 bondsecured by the Nolans’ MunsonTownship home.The judge also ordered Lane

be held on a $1 million cash orsurety bond. Lane has been charged with

three counts of aggravatedmurder, two counts ofattempted aggravated murderand one count of feloniousassault — all with firearmspecifications.The morning of Feb. 27, Lane

entered the high schoolcafeteria armed with a .22caliber handgun and knife,opened fire, and killed threestudents while wounding threeothers.The students killed were

Daniel Parmertor, 16,Demetrius Hewlin, 16, andRussell King Jr., 17. Thoseinjured were Nick Walczak, 17 --who remains partially paralyzed— Joy Rickers, 18, and NathanMueller, 16.Lane’s case will likely hinge

on his mental state at the timeof the shooting.His attorneys have argued

Lane suffers from seriousmental illness and reserved theright during his arraignment tochange his plea to “not guilty byreason of insanity.”They were given 30 days to

amend the plea.

Plank, a 25-year resident,said her involvement withgardening at PerennialsPreferred has helped her honeher own craft. She said her love of

gardening is helping in herquest to become a nationalflower show judge. As far as the title of the

business? A story sprouts fromOrr.“It’s from an old English

gardening book,” she explained.“I liked the book because ithelped me better design plantborders when I moved here (toCleveland) in the ‘70s. So Ithought of that book when Icame up with my business’sname.”Perennials Preferred was

formed when Orr decided to

expand from growing plants ather own house to starting aventure. On a cold, snowy day, she

talked it over with severalformer Sunnybrook Farmsemployees and her businessopened to the public in mid-April.The store features pere-

nnials, including those for shade,sun and wet areas as well as forrock, trough, faerie and modelrailroad gardens. Many are either uncommon

or hard to find and the staff alsomaintains a strong interest innative plants and wildlife, Orrsaid.Small-pot perennials start at

$5 and up. Over 40 native planttypes reside in the greenhousesalongside vegetable, annual andherb containers designed by thestaff, the owner said. Perennials Preferred also

offers design consultation byappointment for those planningtheir own gardens, she said.One of the key aspects of

the business is the staff’s depth-of-knowledge regarding native,exotic and rare plants. It plansoffer classes in the future,according to its website.“We have experience in

growing many hard-to-find andrare plants from seed. Plus, weoffer those same plants here atthe greenhouse,” Orr said. “Weoffer help for the novice all theway to the seasoned gardener.”For more information, visit

the Preferred Perennialswebsite at www.perennialspreferred.com or call 440-729-7885.

Rows of miniature flowers reside inside of her greenhouse.

“As the community keptgrowing, we kept growing withthe community,” he said.While the department

matured, the facility alsoenlarged from one office toquarters that allow staffing of atleast four firefighters/emergency medical technicians/paramedics all day, every day ofthe year, Harchar said. The offices and living

quarters were added on to thenorth side of the equipmentbays between 1990 and 1991, headded.In the 22 years he has been

chief, Harchar said the townshiphas replaced all the equipmentat least once, giving thedepartment a state-of-the-artstable of trucks, squads andtankers that may not be themost expensive available, butare sufficient for the needs ofthe community.“The board of trustees have

always been supportive, so thefire department has been ableto grow in the fashion this onehas grown,” he said, addingsome things have seasoned theMunson Fire Department as ateam as well.When Hurricane Katrina

swamped New Orleans, fivemembers of the Munsondepartment were chosen by thegovernor's office to aid rescueefforts in the St. Bernard Parishin 2005.“That was an experience of

a lifetime and a career,”Harchar recalled, adding everyhome in the parish was lost andhundreds of people died. It was a sobering five weeks,

he said.“We just don't experience

anything like that here,” thechief said. “It made us realizehow important the fire serviceis, besides fighting fires andEMT service.”The team did a lot of rescue

work and recovery, living in anarea with no water or power.

“Our life was off generatorsand bottled water,” Harcharsaid. “It gave us a well-roundedoutlook.”The chief said as a young

man, his original career goalwas to be a firefighter, but inthe mid-70s, emergency medicalservice was added to the menu.So he learned that, only to

see more changes coming downthe track.“This term 'hazmat' came

into play in the late 1970s, early1980s,” he said. Once the fire departments

took on the EMT andhazardous material handling,other rescue specialties camealong. It fell to firefighters to

create special teams to rescuepeople from high buildings andmountainsides, from the middleof deep lakes, from theaftermath of earthquakes,explosions and unstabletrenches, the chief explained.Munson Fire Department's

members chose to specialize inrescue from collapsed structuresand the department recentlysecured a grant from FairmountMinerals for $10,000 worth ofequipment for that idea,Harchar said.The trend means each

department needs plancollaboration with its neighborsin handling emergencysituations, he said, addingnumerous organizations assistedin rescuing 80 skiers off the skilift at Alpine Valley when thelift equipment failed last winter. The department's excellent

working relationship with theGeauga County Sheriff's Officeis another example ofcooperation across borders.“I've never seen a fire

department and lawenforcement work so welltogether,” Harchar said.“They've been really awesometo work with.”Having a career spanning

decades makes him aware ofthe debt the department owespast township firefighters forestablishing a strong senses ofduty to the community.“We will do anything we can

to help out anyone,” he said. “Ifthe residents will support thefire department, we need tosupport them.”And the department has

become a training ground foryounger members, many of

whom eventually move on to befull-time members in otherorganizations, a point of prideto Munson, Harchar said.“We're sorry to lose them,

but also happy they are able toexcel to a good career,” he said.“It's a feather in our cap.”Although he will miss the

daily camaraderie of workingwith a team he has helped build,Harchar, 60, said for the last twoyears, he has been slowing downas a “mover and shaker” in thedepartment and in thenumerous associations he hasserved.Gradually, he has been

working toward retirement.“I don't want to be an

obstacle in the organization,” hesaid. “There just comes a timewhen you know its time to go.”He'll be handing the baton

off to Mark Lynn, Munson FireDepartment assistant chief, whowas the first full-time employeein the department, Harcharsaid. Lynn is one of many who

have made the organization aforward-moving success, headded.“We have built it up over the

years through the success ofeverybody,” Harchar said. “Themembers are an outstandinggroup of people dedicated tothe Munson Townshipresidents,” he said, addingalthough it has been his plan toleave for over a year, he willmiss the job. “Work is just fun,” he said.

“Coming to work has been funfor many, many years.”

From the cupola over thelobby to the rear door of themeeting room, MunsonTownship officials discussed lastTuesday proposed changes tothe drawings of the renovatedand expanded town hall.With an eye to shaving

dollars where possible, architectHenry “Hank” Penttilareviewed the plans he had“tweaked” since the lastmeeting. The three-foot overhang of

the roof has been decreased to2.5 feet, because more overhangmeans additional support forsnow load and more cost, hesaid.The structural engineer has

completed drawings andPenttila said the 64-foot-by-40-foot community room to thesouthwest of the existingbuilding could be spanned by atypical truss, eliminating theneed for custom design andconstruction.The community room would

have an 11-foot-high ceiling,accommodate 161 people andhe proposed two doors in thenorth wall for future use.“It gives you an opportunity

in the future to develop thatinto an outdoor area,” Penttilasaid.A walking path and a

memory garden are twopossible uses he suggested for

the area once the renovationsand building are completed.When a resident asked

about the cost of the cupolaover the south-facing lobby, thearchitect said he would separatethe cost out and report on thatat a future meeting.“The cupola has function,

it’s not just an ornament,”Trustee Todd Ray said.The windowed cupola would

let light into the lobby, whichhas no windows, and could bedesigned as a vent for hot air toescape, Penttila said.He said he removed the

door leading from the hallwayinto the meeting as beingunnecessary, then laughed andagreed when trustees asked if itwould save money to noteliminate the door.“We’re being very, very

careful here with our dollars,”Penttila said.

New construction, includingthe community room withkitchen, utility room andstorage, is estimated at about$589,000, and renovation of theexisting building is estimated atless than $145,000, he added. The new fire department

roof will cost about $109,000.“Those are very reasonable

figures because of today’seconomy,” he said. “Theconstruction industry is at astandstill.” Contractors are bidding as

low as they can to get the work,so the township should get agood deal on a new facility, hesaid.“We’ve spent a lot of time

since New Year’s Day on how

to do the project mostefficiently and give the bestvalue to the people of MunsonTownship,” Penttila said. “If thecupola is extravagant, I’m sureit will come out in the wash.”He has also put out a

request for proposals for thepreliminary site plan and thefloor plans, and received someresponses with more expected.Penttila said he would write

a summary for each proposal.“It may help you in terms of

coming to a decision,” he toldtrustees.The view of the south

elevation of the new town hallshows the walls are brick, butusing siding would look fine andcost less.

Ray asked the other trusteesif they have seen anything so farthey cannot live with. Trustee Andy Bushman said

the cupola looks too tall in thedrawing and Penttila said hehad made it about 25 percentsmaller than it is on the modelhe presented to the board at theprevious meeting. “It’s appropriate to the size

of the building,” Penttila said,adding it is lending importanceand symmetry to the entry way.The cupola would make it

clear where people should comeinto the building, he said,offering to bring the model tothe next meeting so the boardcould see the difference frombefore.

The long-standing Conve-nient Food Mart store in ChesterTownship is tucked away in ashopping plaza south of thetownship’s busiest intersection.Having served the comm-

unity for the last several decades,the store, located at 12777Chillicothe Road, received anearly May makeover thathighlights new amenities forcustomers.These include new deli

displays, coffee machines,flooring and beverage cases, saidRick, the store manager, whoasked that his last name and thestore owner's last name not beused in the article.“This store’s been around

awhile,” he said. “A man owned itbefore us (Rick and store ownerRog), and his family owned itbefore he did. I’d say it’s beenaround at least 40 years.”Rog also owns two other

stores in Akron and Alliance,Rick said.Convenient’s reopening

comes after a year of repairs tothe store as a result the Aug. 24tornado damage,A Fujita-scale F-1 tornado

hit Chester Township that day,destroying several neighbor-hoods with sustained 95-mphwinds. The Fujita scale measurestornado severity on a scale of 1to 5, with 5 being the worst,according to the WeatherChannel website.The Aug. 24 twister also

damaged the front section of

the store, shattering its plate-glass windows as well as nearbybusinesses in the same shoppingplaza.Before it hit Convenient, it

touched down near U.S. Route322 and Caves Road atapproximately 12:40 a.m. beforetracking east-southeast for threeto five miles, according to theAug. 25 issue of the GeaugaCounty Maple Leaf.Nearly 10 months after the

tornado, customer response hasbeen positive regarding the newestablishment, Rick said.He said many have noted

the clean accommodations, cleardisplay cases and low-profileshelves of beer, potato chipsand other foodstuffs.“We turned the displays 90

degrees and made them easierto see over,” Rick said, addingthe previous shelves werehigher and not as user-friendly.In the future, Convenient

plans to renovate ceilinglighting and enlist the help of alocal bakery to make the storestand out, the manager said.Store employees will make

home-made sandwiches withthe borrowed bread for eagercustomers and the sandwicheswill include chicken, tuna andham and cheese varieties, hesaid.“We want to provide fresh

sandwiches at good deli prices,”Rick said. “It’s a nice touch.”The store, along with nearby

Guido’s Pizza Haven andRestaurant, are both key

elements of Chester Township’shistory, said Guido’s PizzaHaven owner Michael Albino,whose restaurant is just north ofConvenient.Both establishments have

been around for at least 40years — Guido’s has existedsince 1962 and Convenientstarted up around 1967.“We, at Guido’s, are

appreciative of the effort putinto the new store and it looksgreat,” Albino said.

Both Convenient andGuido’s are part of the ChesterPlaza shopping center, whichalso includes Rise and DineCafe, The Ritz Hair Design andColor Studio, and a futureconsignment boutique, APassion for Fashion.A stylist at Ritz summed up

the importance of the new,improved Convenient in onesentence.“We’re just glad to have

them back,” she said.

Convenient Food Mart islocated at 12777 ChillicotheRoad, a quarter-mile south ofthe Route 322/306 intersectionand can be reached at 440-729-2201. New store hours, startingJune 18, will be 6 a.m. tomidnight Monday throughSaturday and 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.Sunday.

By Diane Ryder

When Geauga CountyDepartment on Aging DirectorSally Bell had a sudden heat-related health scare at a recentoutdoor event, she realized sheneeded to do something toensure seniors and others couldhave a cool place to go duringthe summer.“Last evening, I was at a tent

sale and in a period of one hour,I suddenly felt weakness andnausea,” Bell, 61, told countycommissioners Thursday. “I was overcome by the heat

and was amazed at how quicklythis could happen,” she said.Bell said she had been

drinking plenty of water andthere were large fans in the tent,but she became ill despite theprecautions.“I got loopy and thought I

was going to pass out; I wasstanding in front of a giant fanand it wasn’t doing it for me,”she said. “I dumped water onmyself and used some ice, but ittook a long time to recover.”Bell discussed the incident

with Department of EmergencyServices Dale Wedge, whosuggested she open the county’ssenior centers to the public,

regardless of age, to give peoplea cool place to go on hot days.“Dale told me we needed to

do something and I’mvalidating that he’s right,” Bellsaid, adding the centers are allair conditioned and open from 8a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Mondaythrough Friday, except forMiddlefield and Thompson. Middlefield is open Monday,

Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday,and Thompson on Thursdays,Bell said.Senior centers are located at:

12555 Ravenwood, Chardon;11414 Caves Road, ChesterTownship; 15820 Ridgewood,Middlefield; 7060 Woodland,Bainbridge Township; and 8091

Plank Road, Thompson.Wedge said he has not

received any calls as yet frompeople having emergenciesbecause of the heat, but said itis a good idea to notify peoplethat they can go to a seniorcenter for relief.“The general public can go

to any of those facilities andthey won’t be turned away onthe basis of age,” Wedge said,adding the information isavailable on the county’s “211”telephone info line.“We’re working with the

United Way as a standby ifthere is a major problem,”Wedge said.He said people should pay

extra attention to elderlyrelatives and neighbors duringhot days, and look for signs thatthey are having problemsdealing with the heat.“Make sure they stay

hydrated, that they don’toverexert, and that they avoidalcohol,” Wedge said. “Peopleshould check the Internet tofind out the signs.”Wedge said weather reports

indicate the heat will dissipatesoon.“But it’s June, so this will

probably continue throughoutthe summer,” he said.

Love is LessCar ownership is a large part

of the family budget for mosthouseholds and a majorexpense in insurance. Ever since automobile

insurance has been offered,buyers have been sensitive tohow much it costs. Many insurance company

ads focus on price and newcustomers are acquired by

companies who offer protectionat a lower price. Many car owners have been

attracted to purchasingminimum coverage, so severalinsurance companies aregaining customers byspecializing in auto policies thatcontain just enough coverage tomeet a given state’s financialresponsibility laws.On a positive note, offering

minimum coverage is a farbetter alternative to operating acar without insurance and manyproblems are caused by theaccidents caused by uninsureddrivers. On the negative side,

coverage that meets state lawminimums may be inadequatefor the needs of many drivers. Car owners who place an

emphasis on price may beignoring the possibility thatminimum coverage policies maynot protect their own cars thatare damaged in collisions or lostby theft.

Minimum coverage policiesare of little help in majoraccidents that a driver maycause. Consider the legal plight of a

driver who has a policy thatoffers a maximum of $15,000and that driver hits a passenger-filled car and causes injuriesand damage totaling more than$50,000? If sued, that driver will still

be responsible for all of theclaims that exceed the limits ofthe minimum coverage policy. Insurance protection works

best when it provides properprotection. Minimum coveragepolicies may be moreaffordable, but they may end upcosting their customers far toomuch when serious accidentsoccur. It’s important to contactan insurance professional todetermine what coverage youneed and then find out the bestway to pay for it.
