About 400 people sampledfree chili, smoothies, breads andfilled goody bags with pens,magnets, jar openers and otheritems during the second annualcountywide Consumer -Wednesday at the MiddlefieldMarket Pavilion. Sponsored by four local

Chambers of Commerce —Middlefield, Burton, Chester-land and Chardon — the 65vendors included banks, cater-ers, security companies, land-scapers and hair salons. Visitors could receive a free

massage while a clown enter-tained, making balloon cre-ations for all ages. Geauga County Tourism

Council, the county Depart-ment on Aging, the GeaugaCounty Public Library and theGeauga Park District had infor-mational booths. The event was held free of

charge and was meant to makecounty residents aware of the

available local goods and servic-es, according to organizers.“People who are here obvi-

ously like to get out in the com-munity,” said tourism councilDirector Lynda Nemeth. “Thisis a great venue for it becauseit’s huge and there’s plenty ofroom to move around. There

were a lot of people here aheadof time, before we evenopened.”She added, “I think the

crowd is larger than last year’s.”Nemeth was there to pro-

mote upcoming events, includ-ing a document shredding dayon June 1 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

in the east parking lot of theMiddlefield Market, 15848Nauvoo Road. “This will be the first time

for us, but this is part of InfoShred Ohio program to fightthe problem of identity theft,”Nemeth said. “A secure truckwill be there and will shred doc-uments as people watch. Thecost is $5 a box, which coversthe cost. We’re doing this as acommunity service.”Business owners were able

to broadcast descriptions oftheir services and a basket rafflewas held, offering products thatparticipants could win. Prizes included baskets of

local wine and maple products,cases of bottled water, gift cardsand a Kindle Fire. As the afternoon wore on,

the hall became increasinglycolorful, as Swifty the Clown,otherwise known as Alan Stayof Russell Township, createdflower hats, animals and other

fanciful figures by request. “I’ve been doing this for 26

years, 14 full time,” Stay said ashe twisted a green balloon busi-ness logo for one woman. “I do this because my busi-

ness is small and portable, and Ican make them anywhere. Iappear at trade shows like thisone, at corporate functions, atprivate partie, and I am at theRancho de Alezanes in Chester-land every Wednesday night.”Stay made a balloon sword

for Wes Smith, 10, of Chardon,who said he was there to help athis mom’s booth for First LightHealth Care and to have funvisiting the booths. “He made me a Spartan hel-

met because I like Spartans,”Wes saidEvent organizer Kathy

Presented with an architec-tural sketch of the proposedRussell School Arch MemorialGarden May 1, Russell Town-ship Trustees gave an informalnod to the project.The faceplate of the elemen-

tary school, which the townshiphas preserved since the buildingwas torn down in 1983, might beerected as the centerpiece of asmall park. Trustees agreed to allow the

arch and the park to be locatedon the vacant northeast corner ofthe intersection of state routes 87and 306.

Jeanne Schroeder, chair-woman of the Russell TownshipHistorical Society, told trusteesCleveland architect AnthonyPaskevich agreed to design thepark around the arch.Paskevich’s program manager,

Al Klauss, a Russell resident andformer zoning commission mem-ber, attended the May 1 trusteesmeeting.The drawing of the Russell

School arch, standing 14-feet-8-inches tall, and a bird’s-eye viewof the 11-foot-by-12-foot terrace,benches and plantings was hand-ed out. “This drawing is a replication

of what the front of the schoollooked like,” Klauss said, adding

the little park and landscapingwouldn’t have to be done all atonce.Although Paskevich had origi-

nally favored the space betweenthe police and fire stations as alocation for the arch, Klauss saidhe feels the corner owned by thetownship would be a better loca-tion.“I just think it’s going to get

lost (between the stations),” hesaid. “That corner has just beensitting there for years and yearsnot doing anything estheticallyfor Russell.”Schroeder said the corner

“doesn’t have much going on withit.”

Trustees OK School Arch Project

By Diane Ryder

Chester Township Trusteesare facing the same problemmany households experience —what to do with piles of boxesfilled to the brim with outdatedfiles and records, and no morespace to put anything. Trustees differ about how to

tackle the problem, with onegoing through boxes of files andweeding out materials that areno longer needed, and anotherquestioning the process. “We’re out of space every-

where,” Trustee Judy Caputo saidlast Thursday,after fellowTrustee KenRadtke ques-tioned whythree discus-sion items hehad requestedhad been leftoff the agenda.

Radtke asked how therecords review process wascoming along.“We agreed on our records

retention policy in January orFebruary and it’s been movingforward a long time,” FiscalOfficer Mike Stark told him. “I guess I should inform you,

I’ve done 28 boxes so far,”Caputo said. “Payroll recordsand personnel files are hugefiles. Things that are going totake time have been set aside.

But 1978 cor-respondencesrecommend-ing we lookinto purchas-ing some eq-uipment andpieces of fly-ers saying youcan buy thissnowplow —those are all being boxed up.” Caputo said the process of

sorting, destroying or retainingpublic records is dictated by law. “That’s news to me,” Radtke

said. “Are you just going in andlooking?”He asked Caputo to notify

him when she planned to workon the sorting process again. “I’m not sending out an

email; I don’t have time,”Caputo said. “Twenty-eightboxes have been inventoriedand signed by me.”She added nothing is going

out of the building withoutbeing signed off by the fiscalofficer. “That’s all I needed to

know,” Radtke told her. Trustee Chairman Mike

Joyce said the township willstore some records through IronMountain, a records storagecompany used by many privatecompanies and governmententities.

Chester Trustees DiscussRecords Storage Problem

ANN WISHART/GCMLAl Klauss holds a drawing by Anthony Paskevich of the Russell School arch as it would be reconstructed (top) ontownship land on the northeast corner of routes 306 and 87, and a small park (bottom) behind it.

“It would preserve that cornerfrom having anything happen toit,” he said.Trustee Jim Dickinson said

when the township bought thesmall parcel from BP Corpor-ation, the only covenant was thatit not become an active park. Nothing that has been pro-

posed will violate the terms of thepurchase and it will be an appro-priate place for the arch.“It’s part of Russell history,”

he said.When the faceplate of the

school was taken down, the manwho did the work marked eachpiece with the idea of reconstruct-ing it somewhere, Schroeder said. He marked the blocks, which

have been stored outside, withchalk, and perhaps he can be con-vinced to help recreate it, she said. “I hope he has a good memo-

ry,” Schroeder said.A mason has estimated the

reconstruction will cost more than$30,000, Klauss said. However, Schroeder said she

hopes volunteers and donationswill bring that figure down. Someone suggested people

being able to buy or donate thebricks making up the terrace withinscriptions on them, which willprovide posterity and funding toerect the arch and build the park.Before BP sold the corner to

the township, the companyremoved that tank, soil and sub-soil 14 feet deep, said Jack

Gallagher, maintenance superin-tendent. “The bad stuff they took with

them,” he said, adding, however,the material they used to fill thehole was of questionable quality. Before pouring footers for the

structure, which would be about20 feet wide, according to thesketch, the ground would have tobe properly packed. Building on disturbed soil

would risk the arch tilting overthe years, he said.Dickinson said the corner is

used now as overflow parking forthe township offices and askedhow much parking would beavailable if the project comes tofruition.Klauss recommended the

township should have the parcelsurveyed to determine how muchspace would remain available forparking.Funding is also an issue,

Dickinson said. The trustees, in the “ugly

budget cycle” now, aren’t able topromise money for the project, hesaid.Schroeder said she wasn’t ask-

ing trustees for money, but hergroup wants to start raising fundsfor the project and felt theyshould have the okay of thetrustees before getting started.“It was a promise made when

they took the school down,”Trustee Jim Mueller said, addinghe’s in favor of the project.“Then it’s the sense of the

board that you may proceed withthe planning of the Russell Schoolarch,” Dickinson told Schroeder.

Joyce said the company willpick up material twice each yearat a cost of about $480 per year. Radtke had also questioned

why other issues he had askedto be placed on the agendawere not there. “They were on the draft agen-

da and were since removed,”Radtke said, asking if Joyceinstructed the administrative assis-tant to remove them and why.“I did,” Joyce replied.He said Radtke’s issue

regarding decorative bannerswas going to be discussed by theChesterland Chamber ofCommerce that night and hebelieved it would be prematureto discuss ths issue until afterthe chamber held their meeting. “They didn’t mention they

were meeting tonight,” Radtkesaid.

Joyce said the banners arenot the township’s, they belongto the chamber. “We’d like to keep it out of

the political arena,” he said.Radke said he would have

appreciated hearing about thechange.“It’s all new to me,” he said. Another topic Radtke had

wanted trustees to address wasa community survey.“I’d like to have that conver-

sation again,” he said, proposingto work with civic groups todraft a survey they would pres-ent to trustees for their ap-proval. Caputo said trustees already

had too many large projects inthe works that are taking a lotof time and attention at themoment. “We have a lot of full-time

issues on our plate right now,”Caputo told him. “The last sur-vey we did was a joint venturewith the school district and

Russell, maybe through KentState. That was ten years or soago and it cost us over $10,000to do that survey even backthen, and that was one-third ofthe cost.”In other business, trustees

appointed Brett Mancino to theWest Geauga Community JointRecreational District as one ofthe township’s three appointeesfor a three-year term thatexpires in 2016. Caputo said Mancino had

been the lone applicant for theunpaid, volunteer position. In answer to a resident’s

question, trustees admitted theydid not know Mancino and hadnot interviewed him. “We did get his resume and

he seemed highly qualified,”Joyce said. “He was the onlyresident who came forward.” Caputo added, “I called him

and asked him if he was stillinterested.”

decision to move the venuefrom last year’s location, atKent state Geauga, to the hugeauction barn made it easier forbooths to set up in one largelocation, with lots of room forvisitors to walk from booth tobooth. “I’m very pleased with the

crowd,” she said, estimating itto be 350 to 400 people. “Everyone’s very happy that

we’re so open and everyoneseems very engaged and inter-ested in the local products andservices,” she said. “This is theperfect venue, although it prob-ably would be better if it wasmore centrally located in thecounty, but based on what peo-ple are saying, this was spot on.”

Let’s Talk Real EstateBy Lisa Thoreson

If someone asked how the realestate market is doing, whatwould you say? Most people still think it is bad

or just not moving very quickly.One lady, when she found out Iwas a real estate agent, actuallysaid, “I’m so sorry for you dear.” When I’m asked about the

market, I reply, “Awesome.” It has been a great spring mar-

ket with inventory going out asquickly as it comes in. We have alist of specific homes buyers wantand we just can’t find. New construction is taking off

too. We have a builder who hasmore houses to put up than wecan find land for him to build on. Buyers are out looking for

homes all the time and in manydifferent ways. With technology the way it is,

they are set up on automaticsearch engines, they have smartphones that alert them as soon asa home matching their needs hasbeen found and since buyers donot pay a commission, they loveworking with real estate agents sothey have professionals workingfor them and protecting their bestinterest.Buyers are well informed

these days and sellers need to bealso.Sellers need to know what

their house is truly worth if it’sgoing to sell and appraise. If a house doesn’t appraise, it

really doesn’t matter what a buyerwill pay if the lender won’t lendthem the money to buy it. There are a few different ways

to get a fair market value, one ofthe best is a Competitive MarketAnalysis. A CMA researches all the

sales, expireds, pending sales. Itlooks at the condition, location,square footage and tax valuation.It looks at how the house com-

pares with other houses within acertain distance and whatimprovements have been made orneed to be made.Sellers should also be aware of

the hang-ups that can keep ahouse from closing once a buyerhas been found. Such as not getting financing,

something found in a homeinspection or something that hasturned up on a title search.Sellers need to be familiar

with the new Ohio ResidentialDisclosure Forms every home

owner needs to fill out before sell-ing their home. Another way sellers can pro-

tect themselves is with a HomeWarranty on their houses. Evenwhile their home is on the market,the seller is also protected if cer-tain items break down.Whether a buyer or seller,

people should ask the right ques-tions, so their interests are protect-ed. Hire the right person or per-

sons to help achieve goals. Buyingand selling a house can be a stress-ful time if a person doesn’t haveall the T’s crossed and I’s dotted. Ask questions and feel confi-

dent the right strategy is in place.Here in the West Geauga mar-

ket, we have many amenities thatmake us a desirable community tolive in. We also have a few challenges,

like septic systems, that needattention in the beginning of theprocess, not at the end, when asale could then fall apart. Whatever a person’s reasons

for buying or selling, I’m sure thedesire is to have a smooth transac-tion, where buyers and sellers feelthey have the best deal for them,and didn’t over pay or under sell.Send us questions or give us a

call, we will be happy to give ourexpert opinion. Twenty five yearsin real estate is what we basethose opinions on and we wouldbe eager to listen to and help how-ever we can.Dan and Lisa Thoreson,
