It all started in sixth gradewhen Mario Formichelli made alayup against Beachwood, abasket that won West Geaugathe championship.It was that game, that sea-

son, that the seniors recalled ina locker room at Lakeside HighSchool. The Wolverines seasonended last week with a 54-50loss to University Schools."Remember when he fell

through the bleachers?" oneteammate said of Formichelli,

who now stands six feet eightinches."We weren't the best team,

but we were together," remem-bered Devon Zurcher. "Evenover all the odds, we were a lowseed, and we pulled it out as ateam. That's the first time Iknew something was special.""I'll always cherish those

memories," said senior GinoIacampo, still reeling from ashot to the nose — or head, hecouldn't remember — that side-lined him for most of the second

half. "That was where it allstarted."These seniors, as a group,

have worked with Head CoachJohn Cardiero for four seasonsto make the Wolverines' basket-ball program one of the best inthe Chagrin Valley Conference.Their 32-14 record over the pasttwo seasons is a testament tothat."I probably spend more time

with them than their parentsdo," Cardiero said after the

Re-purposing is not just fortrendy reality TV competitionshows. It’s also a creative way for a

local township to save money

by converting something onedepartment no longer wantsinto something another depart-ment needs.Working together, Chester

Township Fire Chief JohnWargelin and Road Department

Superintendent Rob Pealerhave turned a worn out tankerfire truck into a brine spreaderfor the road department.Pealer estimated a new brine

truck, used to pre-treat roadsbefore a snow or ice storm,

would cost up to $300,000, butthe conversion of the old truckcost the township about $6,000.The fire department recently

replaced the old truck with anew tanker that cost $367,000,and the old truck, built in 1979and restored in 1991, could havebeen sold for $8,000-$10,000,Wargelin said.“We knew what we could

get for it wasn’t much, so I wastalking to Rob and asked if hehad a use for it, maybe forspreading water on dirt roads,”Wargelin said. “His eyes lit up.He told me he had been lookingat getting a brine truck system,but the cost was prohibitive.”The two discussed details

about the old tanker, includingthe fact that it was mechanicallysound, had a front mountedpump and a stainless steel tank.“From there, the idea just

took off,” the chief said.Brine spreaders have been

used for the last several years

by the Ohio Department ofTransportation and large munic-ipalities to pre-treat roadwaysbefore a storm, Pealer said. The brine helps prevent

snow and ice from sticking tothe road surface.“We get a salt savings and

it can work quicker and ismore efficient, reducing manhours,” Pealer explained. “Itcan especially help with trou-ble spots during ice storms. It’sa great tool in our snow fight-ing arsenal.”One ton of road salt can

yield 1,000 gallons of brine. Pre-treatment uses about 40 to 50gallons of brine per mile, hesaid, adding he is now lookinginto finding a brine processorthat will save mixing time.“It’s already made a big dif-

ference, especially in places likethe S-curve on Wilson MillsRoad,” Pealer said. “We pre-treat three or four hours before

Wolverines Seniors Leave ProgramBetter Than When They Started

Chester Township Trusteeshave put off making a decisionon where to purchase 21 decora-tive floral baskets to hang alongthe Chillicothe/Mayfield roadscommercial district, preferring towait until Trustee Judy Caputocan weigh in with her opinion.

Caputo was absent Thursdaynight when the subject came upfor discussion. The question centers on

whether to take the lowest bidfrom a grower outside the town-ship or pay a little more to abusiness based in Chester.

“We have three bids here forhanging baskets that we normal-ly put up every year,” TrusteeMike Joyce said.The lowest bid, for $1,197

plus $10 per basket for anoptional liner, came from RockFarm and Gardens of Kirtland,Joyce announced.Other bids were for

$1,662.50, including liners, fromChester-based Bremec Green-house, and for $1,890 plus linersfrom Abate Florist andGreenhouse, another growerbased in the township.“My feeling is to stay local

and close,” Joyce said.Trustee Ken Radtke said the

lowest bid, by $273, came fromRock Farm and Garden, whichhe said is “relatively local.”“My inclination is to go with

Bremec, which we normally do,”Joyce said. Radtke said there is a 22.8

percent difference in price.“I’m looking at the cost to

taxpayers,” he said, then askedJoyce if there was a critical timeperiod.“No; we can table it till we

have an uneven number in ourforum,” Joyce said.The issue came up again

later, during the public commentportion of the meeting.

“Did you even approachAbate? They’re local,” residentDal Lanese asked.“They were one of the

quotes,” Fiscal Officer MikeStark replied. The hanging baskets were

originally done by the Chester-land Chamber of Commerce,”former Trustee Ron Cotmansaid. “They used Rock’s Farm

once, then the trustees took itover, but Rock’s Farm continuedto be the vendor,” he said.Cotman said current trustees

switched to buying from Bre-mec’s at some point.“There was never an action

by this board to get competitivebids. Obviously Rock’s was thelowest,” he said. “I just wantedto recount the history.”Resident Kurt Feigle added,

“Rock’s is not that far over thetownship line.”Joyce said he likes to “take

care of the residents of Chesterwhen I can.”Then the township fire

department should buy theirammunition from the local gunstore and the township shouldnot buy their office suppliesfrom out-of-town supplier

Staples, Feigle said.“I’m very much in favor of

using local businesses as long asthey’re competitive,” Cotmansaid. “I have an even strongerallegiance to our taxpayers.”In other business, trustees

approved authorizing theGeauga County Prosecutor’sOffice to pursue filing a com-plaint regarding a MayfieldRoad property Radtke said wasin violation of setback require-ments in the zoning code.They approved paying up to

$15,000 to Cleveland-basedattorneys Zashin and Rich fortheir role in union negotiations.Trustees also approved reim-

bursing Munson TownshipZoning Inspector Tim Kearnsfor his mileage and time to trav-el to Columbus and give testi-mony before the Ohio Depart-ment of Commerce for whattownship officials said was adeceptive sign concerning thezoning of a subdivision.“It may have misled people

that wanted to bid on the prop-erty,” Joyce said.Kearns had served the town-

ship briefly as interim zoninginspector when the issue wasaddressed, Joyce said.

game, with an air of disappoint-ment at the loss, but with pride."I probably spend more timewith my players than I do withmy kids. But it's worth it."Iacampo, Zurcher and

Formichelli join Cal Slusarz,Aaron Rabe and Noah Bidar asthe hard-working six who playtough man-to-man defense.Slusarz, Zurcher and

Iacampo get by on their guts.Rabe rains 3-pointers from

beyond the arc.Formichelli blocks shots and

finishes in the post.And Bidar, as the point

guard, leads the team in scoring.His name is listed first on oppo-nents' scouting lists.West Geauga led most of the

night against the Preppers. Thelow-scoring game, though,stayed close."I thought it was well-

played," Rabe said. "Nobodytook the lead very much. I real-ly thought we were going to pullthrough at the end."Led by Sam Bentz and

De'Andre Austin, the Prepperstrailed most of the fourth quar-ter. Trailing by six, Universitytook a timeout with 2:48 left.But University grabbed a 51-50lead with 5.7 seconds to play."We gave them all we

could," Zurcher said. "At theend stuff didn't fall our way. Wecouldn't do anything about."Zurcher is known for wear-

ing long sleeves when he plays,an unusual choice."I have to do something

new," he said. "I have to be

remembered for something. I'mnot a 6-8 kid who can dunk. I'ma 5-9 kid who works hard andwears long sleeves."Bidar, with a cut, swollen

right cheek, took the loss thehardest."I didn't have a great game

tonight," he said. "I didn't havemy best game. I turned it overtoo much, came up short attimes. I'll take the blame for thisone."He added: "It's tough

because I feel like I ended all ofthese seniors' careers."Bidar, though, was the only

one who felt that way."It was a game of runs, it

went back and forth," Cardierosaid. "I'm walking out of heresad, but I'm proud of my kids,the way they played.""We're all like brothers,"

Rabe said. "I'm going to stay intouch with all of these guys.""They always tell you that

your high school years go by sofast; you don't know it until it'sgone," Formichelli said. "So Ijust think, over the years we hada great coaching staff. And Iwork for them."West Geauga finished the

season at 16-8. For re-establish-ing the program, Iacampo wasproud of this class."It was troubling when we

came here, and we reallybrought it back up," he said.Both Hiram College and the

College of Wooster talked withBidar after the game, as the col-lege courting continues. Rabeplans to attend a prep schoolbefore going the Coast Guard,where he hopes to play basket-ball. Others remain undecided."I'd rather lose with these

guys," Bidar said, "than win astate championship with some-one else."

a storm and it starts workingimmediately. It breaks the bondbetween the ice and the road.”Wargelin said the fire

department’s new tanker holds33 percent more water, whichsaves precious time when fight-ing a fire in a rural area with nohydrants.“Out here, water is a big

issue,” Wargelin said. “A biggertank saves us time and gives usa quick hit on a fire.”Tanker trucks usually sit on

the road in a line, with a longhose delivering the water to thefire. As each tanker empties, it

leaves the line and another fulltanker takes its place as itreturns to a water source, such asa pond, to re-fill, the chief said.“That’s why you see tankers

from so many different depart-ments lined up on the road at afire,” he explained.The chief said the re-purpos-

ing project benefits both town-ship departments.

“It’s a win-win situation forus and for the taxpayers,”Wargelin said.The re-purposing process

took about three weeks, work-ing with a representative fromCleveland Plastics.“I met them at a snow and ice

seminar, and had heard of theidea from other communities,”Pealer said. “It all kind of felltogether. This is the first projectof its kind in the area as far as weknow. It is recycling, re-utilizingand sharing between depart-ments.”He added, “I can’t thank

John enough for offering this tous. We can make the roads saferso that they can get to a fire.Anything we can do to makethe township safer, we’ll do.”Both officials think the suc-

cess of this project will lead toother creative ideas for recy-cling other worn equipment,such as turning an old rescuesquad vehicle into a snow plow.“This could be something

that other communities coulddo,” Wargelin said. “It could goa long way to save tax dollars.”
