By Josh Echt A blue-clad student blew his red horn, a triumphant herald cutting through a rainy, dark night. The metal crash of a cowbell, cling-CLANG-cling-CLANG, back and forth, almost drowned out by the rumble of metal bleachers made by the stomping feet of the West Geauga student section at Howell Field in Chester Township Friday. The clock read 0:00. It also read West Geauga 21, Kenston 17, illuminated by a series of bright yellow bulbs mounted on the blue and white board. In the bright lights, West Geauga’s football team composed a special-teams sonata and senior running back Domenick Varga marched behind a young, improving offensive line in the upset of a Bombers team it had not beat since the end of the previous decade. “Our special teams were good — we had a blocked punt at one point,” said Wolverines coach Lou Cirino, adding the team had no turnovers. “Momentum was on our side in the second half. We protected the football pretty well,” he said. West Geauga (4-5, 3-3 CVC Chagrin Division) defeated a Kenston team (6-3, 5-1 Chagrin) it had not defeated since 2009. That same Kenston team recently tore apart a Chagrin team that beat West Geauga the week before. The Wolverines took the home victory after falling behind at the half, 17-7. However, adjustments in the second half, plus timely special teams play and hard running from Varga (21 rushes, 106 yards, 1 rushing TD) and enough passing from quarter-back Connor Krouse (5-of-15, 79 yards passing, 1 TD) kept West Geauga in the game all night. “It’s all about taking care of the ball,” Varga said. “That’s why we won the game.” Kenston drew first blood with a Darryl Richards 2-yard keeper with 8:37 in the first quarter. Richards (11-of-24, 126 yards, 1 INT) was a dual threat rushing and passing against the Wolverines. He also had 29 yard rushing on 13 carries, including the first- quarter touchdown. But the Wolverines res- ponded with Varga, a 5’9’’, 200- pound back that gives up a mere 30 pounds to Browns star Trent Richardson. By Ann Wishart Chester Township Trustees voted unanimously to sign the contract between the township and the Chester Township Fire- fighters’ Association Thursday. The contract was ratified by the association and will be signed by the trustees when it has been examined by legal counsel, Trustee Chairman Mike Joyce said following the meeting.

what it will be,’” he said.“The contract terms state a

2.5 percent increase in 2012,”Stark said after the meeting.“Future pay increasepercentages and effective dates(2013, 2014 and 2015) willmatch those negotiated for thepatrol officers (in what is)commonly referred to as a ‘me-too’ increase.”

He said the budget issufficient to cover the firedepartment contract for 2012and 2013.

Currently, the trustees arenegotiating with the roaddepartment employees, Joycesaid. When that is done, thenegotiations with the policeassociation will commence.

During the meeting, Joycesaid raises to the fire departmentemployees retroactive to Sept. 1haven’t been paid, yet.

Trustees took no actionfollowing an executive sessionat the end of the meeting heldto discuss the possible purchaseof property.

Joyce said the township hasbeen offered a parcel that couldbe useful to the township in thefuture, but, if a decision is madeto buy it, each of the townshipofficials has a different idea on

how to pay for the purchase.Trustees will go back to the

potential seller and ask forfeedback concerning thedifferent financial scenarios, hesaid.

The parcel under consider-ation is not a piece of propertythe township has looked atbefore, Joyce said.

In other business, TrusteeJudy Caputo said the GeaugaCounty engineer will bepurchasing three pieces of roadequipment with grant moneyand townships who joined theprogram will have access to theequipment.

A boom mower, a cracksealer and a Gradall will beavailable, along with a countyoperator, for rent to thetownships, Caputo said.

The county road departmentwill use the equipment for a setnumber of hours, she said.

In a split vote, trustees hiredMadeline Avis as a part-timeroad department administrativeassistant for $11 per hourcontingent on Avis passing adrug test.

Trustee Ken Radtke said hevoted against the motionbecause he feels the townshipshould have looked internallyto find assistance for RoadSuperintendent Rob Pealer, buthe supports having an assistantfor Pealer.

Like Richardson, he has softhands and speed.

Varga caught twoconsecutive passes — both inthe right flat, both 18-yarders —on a first-quarter drive. Thatdrive also set up Varga’s tying 3-yard plunge with 3:31 left in thefirst quarter.

Kenston bulked its lead evenfurther, with a 7-yard run bysophomore Jeremy Wyers, to goahead 14-7, with 8:53 remainingin the quarter.

Starter Nick Lombardy satout the game for the secondconsecutive week.

But Wyers, who rushed for126 yards on 25 carries, dentedthe Wolverines defense in thefirst half.

Richards also had successthrowing to receiver JackQuigley (3 catches, 28 yards)early on, which opened up therunning lanes for Wyers.

The Bombers forced severalpunts, including one with aKrouse sack by sophomorelineman Mike Kruger, toconsistently gain good fieldposition in the second quarter.

They drove from their own35 to the West Geauga 10, buthad to settle for a 27-yard fieldgoal from senior kicker T.J.Kestranek. At the half, they hada comfortable 17-7 lead.

A Tale of Two HalvesIn the second half, West

Geauga’s special teams came upbig.

Pinned deep in their ownend zone, the Wolverinesblocked a punt that sent the ballspinning almost vertically.

The Wolverines did notscore as the Bombers defensecaused the Wolverines offenseto misfire.

West Geauga took an illegalprocedure penalty against theoffense, followed by anincompletion to receiver JoeKijauskas.

After a turnover on downs,Kenston drove from its 20 to its37, aided by tough running fromWyers.

On fourth-and-4, theBombers’ special teams failedto get a kick off and the punterattempted to run it past the lineof scrimmage. West Geaugatook over and scored on an 8-

play, 30-yard drive that took3:35.

With Krouse running it in onthird-and-goal, the Wolverinesnarrowed the deficit to threepoints, 17-14.

The turning point in thegame came after a Kenstondrive backfired. Richards fired adeep post route to seniorreceiver Justin Abbarno, butWolverines’ special-teamerAbdul Levy stripped him of theball.

West Geauga subsequentlyscored on a 75-yard march.

Varga broke off a 55-yardrun down the right sideline with3:34 remaining in the thirdquarter to set up a touchdownthat gave the Wolverines thelead for the first time all night.More Varga runs brought WestGeauga down to the Kenston14.

Krouse, rolling out to hisleft, found junior receiver ToryPalmer (2 catches, 22 yards)wide open on a crossing routefor the touchdown.

The teams traded punts thenext two series. The Bombersput a scare in the Wolverineswith 2:28 to go, driving to theWest Geauga 21, but Levysacked Richards.

Richards threw incompleteto Quigley and West Geaugatook over on downs.

On the next series, WestGeauga punted, Kenston got

the ball back and then Richardsthrew his only interception ofthe game to defensive backCurt Williams, sealing WestGeauga’s win.

“We Wanted to Shockthe World”

After the game, Krouseexplained how the touchdownunfolded and gave props to thedefense for shutting downRichards and Wyers.

“We just countered off ourbest running play — Palmer isour best receiver. He caught itand our defense held them up.Curt had the big pick, so thatwas a great team effort ondefense,” Krouse said.

The keys to the game,according to Wolverinescoaches and players, werelimiting mistakes and avoidingturnovers.

Krouse said West Geauga,which practiced on muddyfields last week, used that to itsadvantage.

The team also practices withwet balls to simulate game-dayconditions, he said.

“It helps us adjust. I wantedto keep the ball dry today,”Krouse said. “We wanted toshock the world and we did.”

Kenston coach Jeff Grubichsaid he liked some plays histeam made, but said turnoverswere a key factor in the loss.

“It goes back to those(turnovers),” Grubich said.“Once we get some positiveplays, we put the ball on theground or drop passes. Whenyou make mistakes like thatagainst a team like West G,you're going to come out on thelow end. West G has a goodteam; they play hard.”

Grubich said the wetweather was not a factor,adding his team simply neededto execute better.

The game signified a key winfor West Geauga and a shockingloss for Kenston.

The Bombers, who startedout 0-2, won their next sixgames — including a big winagainst Chagrin Falls — beforeFriday’s loss.

Unofficially, they currently

sit at sixth in Division II,Region 5 in terms of statecomputer points, according tothe Joe Eitel football databasewebsite.

Kenston hosts Aurora (8-1,5-1 CVC Chagrin) Friday night,while West Geauga hostsBeachwood (6-2, 5-1 CVCChagrin).

West Geauga — mathe-matically eliminated, accordingto joeeitel.com — can finishwith a .500 record with a homewin next week.

The Wolverines beat astrong Riverside squad thisyear, along with a win againstrival Perry. They lost threestraight — Aurora, Orange andChagrin Falls — before lastnight’s win.

The Wolverines said theyenjoyed the win, but addedwork needs to be done inpreparation for Beachwood.

Cirino said he was pleasedwith how his team closed thefourth quarter, after coming offa tough loss to Chagrin Falls theweek before.

He stated Kenston had aphysical team, adding theBombers had “good, strongplayers.”

“We knew we were trying torun, so we’d run either awayfrom them or option them,”Cirino said. “It was about whatwe had to do. It was about howwe finished.”

In the interests of theenvironment, George Zehnderproposed Thursday that ChesterTownship Trustees allow naturalburials in the section of theChester Cemetery that is due tobe cleared for use.

Zehnder, a pastor at St.

Mark Lutheran Church inChester, handed out a sheetdetailing the effect standard fullburials and cremation burialshave on the environment,indicating there is a trend in theU.S. to allow natural or greenburials in cemeteries.

Natural burials do notinclude embalming fluid,caskets or vaults, which makesthem more environmentallyfriendly, he said.

“Every year in the U.S., webury 825,060 gallons ofembalming fluid,” Zehnder said,quoting figures from theInternational Business Times.“Plus, caskets are often madefrom mined metals, toxic

plastics or endangered wood.U.S. cemeteries use 30 millionboard feet of hardwoods,180,544,000 pounds of steel and5,400,000 pounds of copper andbronze annually.”

The average vault thatprotects the casket weighs 2,300to 2,700 pounds, he said, addingthe concrete may contain fly ashand blast furnace slag.

Additionally, the FrigidFluid Co. in Northlake, Ill.,estimates the average amountof embalming fluid needed for aburial is 3.25 gallons, Zehndersaid.

The township is expandingthe cemetery by 1,020 plots on15 acres, which will potentially

add 3,315 gallons of embalmingfluid for the first layer of burialsand 6,630 gallons of embalmingfluid if a second layer of burialsare allowed in the same graves,he said.

Up to 224 tons of steelcaskets would be buried in twolayers and more than onethousand tons of concrete invaults, Zehnder added.

Economically, green burialsare considerably less expensivethan traditional burials and theenvironmental impact of thecremation process is notinconsequential, Zehnder said.

“It takes a lot of energy toreach the required temperaturesof more than 1,832 degrees

Fahrenheit to cremate a body,”he said. “The process releasestoxins, including hydrochloricand hydrofluoric acids, dioxin,carbon dioxide and sulfurdioxide.”

He said he was using figuresfrom Koerth-Baker and GreenBurials.

Trustee Ken Radtke said hewould like to learn more aboutnatural burials and wondered ifregulations require green burialplots to be segregated fromgraves being used for traditionalburials with caskets and vaults.

Fiscal Officer Mike Starksaid natural burials could bedone in a regular 12-foot-by-four-foot grave.

By Cassandra Shofar

Accused Chardon HighSchool shooter T.J. Lane’sdefense counsel requested lastweek a continuance of his Nov.26 murder trial to give expertwitness John Fabian more timeto assess his sanity during theFeb. 27 incident.

On Friday, Geauga CountyCommon Pleas Court JudgeDavid Fuhry continued the trialto 8 a.m. Jan. 14, 2013.

Fabian — a clinical andforensic psychologist, andneuropsychologist in Cleveland— said Lane has “remarkablycomplex mental health issues”that require “heightenedscrutiny” and he needs moretime to make a professionalconclusion.

“I have seen Mr. Lane over asubstantial period of time onseveral occasions and conductedinterviews, psychological testingand neuropsychological testing,”he wrote in the affidavitattached to the defense motion.“Additional time with Mr. Laneis needed in order to completemy evaluation of his mentalcondition and sanity at the timeof the act.”

Defense attorney IanFriedman said in his motion —filed with the Geauga CountyCourt of Common Pleas onWednesday — Fabian, who hastestified in roughly 130 cases asan expert witness, would becalled as an expert at Lane’s trial.

“Presently, Dr. Fabian hasnot conluded his evaluation ofthe defendant,” Friedman wrotein the 9-page motion. “At theoutset of this matter, it was notpossible for defense counsel orits expert to anticipate theextent of the defendant’smental condition.”

He concluded by askingboth the trial date and deadlinefor production of an expertreport be continued.

“Without a completeevaluation regarding (Lane’s)sanity at the time of the act,counsel will not be able to

engage in discussions whichmight result in an earlyresolution of this matter withouttrial or, in the alternative, tocomplete preparation of defenseof the accused should thismatter proceed to trial,”Friedman wrote in his affidavitsupporting the motion.

Prosecutors objected to anycontinuance of the trial, arguingthere had been ample time sincethe shooting — which killed threestudents and wounded threeothers — to assess Lane’s sanity.

“The motion contains twoaffidavits ... both contain vagueremarks that more time isneeded for the preparation ofthe NGRI report (not guilty byreason of insanity),” wroteassistant prosecuting attorneyNicholas Burling in the state’sresponse to Friedman’s motion.

“Notably absent are anyspecifics on when theevaluations began, what hasbeen accomplished so far, whattests still need to be completedand an anticipated timeline forcompletion of the report,” hesaid.

On Oct. 1, just 40 minutesshort of its deadline, Lane’sdefense entered a one-sentenceplea of not guilty by reason ofinsanity on his behalf.

“The state understands(Lane) has the right to properlyprepare his case, but as of now,

the state an the familiesaffected by the case have beenin a holding pattern formonths,” Burling said. “Nothinghas ever been filed to informthe court of the progress of thedefendant’s evaluation, otherthan the motions to continue ongrounds the evaluation is notcompleted.”

In a separate filing,prosecutors moved to correctthe firearm specification statutein Lane’ indictment. The stateincorrectly sited a statutepertaining to sentencing ratherthan the underlying offenses.

Lane — who turned 18 lastmonth and is currently beingdetained at the Geauga CountySafety Center — has beencharged with three felonycounts of aggravated murder,two felony counts of attemptedaggravated murder and onecount of felonious assault. Eachcharge carries a firearmsspecification.

Those students killed wereDanny Parmertor, 16, RussellKing Jr., 17, and DemetriusHewlin, 16. Those woundedwere Joy Rickers, 18, NickWalzcak, 18, who has been leftparalyzed from the chest down.Nathan Mueller, a sixth victim,was grazed in the right earduring the shooting.

If convicted, Lane faces upto life in prison without parole.

Jim Dvorak forCommissioner

Having known Jim Dvorakand his family for a long time, Ican whole heartedly endorsehim for Geauga CountyCommissioner.

He and his family spentmany years being activelyinvolved in 4-H and the GreatGeauga County Fair, sports andmany other projects of benefitto county residents.

Volunteerism led him intopublic office as a BurtonTownship trustee where he hasproven to be a hardworking,dedicated and effective publicservant.

Geauga County would bewell served to vote for JimDvorak on Nov. 6 and elect himto the office of Geauga CountyCommissioner.

Christina Livers,Retired Russell Twp. Trustee

Geauga County Tea PartyThe Geauga County Tea

Party has been hijacked by itsleader.

He had told us in a recentmeeting that he wanted the TeaParty to endorse all of theRepublican candidates.

We said “no.” It was a strong,emphatic “no.”

The leader said he waslistening to us and would notproceed.

But he went ahead and did itanyway in defiance of theclearly stated wishes on themembership.

There are democrats andindependents who share someof the Tea Party’s values whomight have been endorsed, but

weren’t due to the unilateralactions of this one man.

The public needs to knowthat the Tea Party stands for acollection of values and is notmerely an extension of theRepublican Party.

At Issue: Putting a RoofOver Our Children’s Heads

As a small business ownerwho lives and works in GeaugaCounty, I would suggest that onNov. 6, we get out the vote.

I’m not talking politics,rather, we as residents of WestGeauga Schools need to putpolitics aside when we see theoval next to issue 26 and weneed to vote for the levy.

Regardless of your politicalviews, regardless of your feelingof taxation, put everything asideat that moment and vote to puta roof over our children’s heads.

The bond issue that passedin 1994 being removed earlywill effectively lower your taxes,even if you vote yes to this levy.

Voting yes for issue 26 is justthe right thing to do.

I remember voting for thatbond issue the year my first sonwas born in 1994. Eighteenyears later, he became afreshman as The Ohio StateUniversity.

He and his brother havereceived a first-class educationby a dedicated hardworkinggroup of teachers at WestGeauga elementary, middle andhigh schools.

Since 1994, my business hasdoubled in size. We now employ65 people locally here inChester Township. On top of

that, in 2010, I started a studentwork program with WestGeauga High School,employing eight students parttime.

All eight of these studentswent off to college recently andlet me tell you, all eight werethe smartest, well-educated,honest, trustworthy teenagersyou would ever want to meet.

Their parents and teachersshould be so proud.

This year, I will take onanother eight juniors, teachingthem how a small business canbe run and prosper.

I know most of the studentswill never become full-timeemployees of mine. That wasn’tthe point, the point was to teachthem how a small business canthrive and grow in thiseconomy, how a small businesscan be run and howmanufacturing in America ismaking a comeback because ofthe education our sons anddaughters are receiving atschools across the countrysimilar to West Geauga.

But to do this, the studentsneed a roof over their heads,they deserve it.

Bonnie Cavanaugh forClerk of Courts

Bonnie Cavanaugh shouldbe elected as Geauga County’snext clerk of courts.

She has some good ideasabout how to collect past-duefees and other court costs, andthat collected money could thenbe used for services to benefitGeauga County residents (roadrepairs, additional snowremoval, etc.).

For example, Bonnie hasstated that more than $400,000is owed to the county from past-due court costs and that itscollection should be moreaggressively pursued.

In addition, she has madethe very reasonable suggestionthat the money should becollected whenever possible byin-house Geauga Countyemployees rather than byoutside collection agencies thattake a percentage of the money.

Bonnie’s fresh, intelligentapproaches to running the clerkof courts office would greatlybenefit the residents of GeaugaCounty.

WGHS Take ChargeTeam

The “Take Charge Team,” ateam of eight students fromWest Geauga High School, willcompete in the Lexus EcoChallenge, a national contestthat encourages middle andhigh school students to developand implement environmentalprograms that positively impacttheir communities.

The Lexus Eco Challenge —created by Lexus, the luxuryautomaker, and Scholastic, theglobal children’s publishing,education and media company— was designed to educateyoung people about theenvironment and to inspire

them to create a better world. After carefully studying the

local environmental concerns,the students initiated a batteryrecycling program at theirschool, the library and otherlocations.

The team decided to focusits efforts on battery recyclingbecause the harmful chemicalscontained in batteries can causelasting health and environ-mental problems if they leakinto surrounding soil in landfills.

The community is invited tosupport the team’s “ActionPlan” by donating to the centerslocated at West Geauga HighSchool, Geauga West Libraryand Munson Township TownHall.

Small and rechargeablebatteries (cell phone, watch,small power tool, and AAAthrough D batteries) may berecycled in the boxes located atthe centers listed above.

Specific instructions regar-ding recycling the batteries areavailable at the centers, but the“Take Charge Team” encou-rages people to place eachrechargeable battery into aseparate plastic sandwich bag.

Lexus and Scholastic willchoose 16 winning teamsnationwide.

Each team will receive atotal of $10,000 in grants andscholarships. All winning teamsfrom this challenge and oneother initial challenge will beinvited to participate in the finalchallenge for a chance to winone of two grand prizes of$30,000 in grants andscholarships.

West Geauga vs. Kenston

Live 100%... Play 100%... Be 100%...

DEFENSE! DEFENSE!DEFENSE!

In every game there’s always a play,you know the one play that thefaithful anxiously sit and stare justwaiting the final call; waiting…waiting… still waiting refs, 1st downWolverines at the West Geauga 25yard line! If my memory serves mewell it was 3rd down maybe 8-10yards to go, and Kenstonquarterback Daryl Richards tookthe snap and connected deep downfield for a huge play, but AbdulLevy, doing his best MauriceClarret this Halloween season,stripped the ball and took it backfor his team.

Now if you’re having a hard timepicturing it go back about 10 yearsto the fiesta Bowl, Ohio State vs.The “U”, Buckeyes Craig Krenzelthrows a pick in the end zone toSean Taylor who proceeds to try andrun it back, but Maurice Clarrettstripped the ball and took it backfor the Buckeyes. Levy’s play hadthe same impact. If no turnover,Kenston has the ball inside the WestGeauga 25 yard line with a chanceto ice the game and go up by twoscores; opportunity denied!

“Welcome back my friends to theshow that never ends, we’re so gladyou could attend, come inside -come inside!” The Bombers flewinto Howell Field this past Fridaynight through October’s stormyskies with complete control of theirown destiny. Sitting on top of theCVC Chagrin Division, theBombers looked to fly back toBainbridge one win closer to theCVC crown; opportunity denied!

No second season in sight this yearfor the “Boys in Blue”, but theyshowed up anyway and put theirpersonal pride on the line as theyattempted to play spoiler toKenston’s dream season;opportunity accomplished!

A quick 3 and out for the Wolverineson their first drive gave Kenston theball, which they gladly took thengladly scored; 7 – 0 Kenston5 minutes in.

Down by 7 with the ball at their own30 yard line, West Geauga set outfrom seventy yards away to tie thegame. Domenick Varga picked up4, then Connor Krouse got 5, Vargafor 5 more, then Krouse for a fewafter that; see a pattern forminghere? Sitting somewhere around the27 – 28 yard line Krouse dumpedto Varga who rambled 25 yardsdown to the 2; 1st down Wolverineswith four shots to tie it. Varga scored

Geauga at the 2" line. Krousefinished the drive a play or two laterwhen he muscled in cuttingKenston’s lead to 3.

Kenston came in sitting 3rd in D2Region 5’s computer point rankings.They’ve done it all season with theirduel threat QB Daryl Richards, buton this night in this weather underthese circumstances Richards wasrendered common, and you knowwhat they say; “success isuncommon, therefore not beenjoyed by the common man.”

Jeff Pausch and Bryan Polan lockeddown the corners as Mike & Mike,Kolar and Cline, blew play afterplay up behind the line ofscrimmage!

17 – 14 Kenston with just over aquarter to play and the Bombershave the ball, enter sophomoreAbdul Levy. Daryl Richards’ passwas complete deep in West Geaugaterritory for what appeared to be agame changing momentumswinging play, but Levy stripped it;1st down West Geauga at their own25. The Bomber bench and faithfulin the stands could not believe whatthey were seeing. One miscue afteranother, or should I say one big playfollowed by a bigger play by theWolverines.

Could the Wolverines put togethera drive to take the lead? You bet!Varga took the ball on 1st & 10 andwent 45 yards down to the Kenston25, but it was QB Connor Krouseto Tory Palmer who finished thedrive. Connor dropped back,looked to the right, nobody open,so he looked left and found the 6’3"Palmer, who was double coveredmind you, in the end zone;touchdown Wolverines! Palmerwent up and over two defenders,held on to the ball, and scored thego ahead touchdown for theWolverines!

DEFENSE! DEFENSE! DEFENSE!Kenston had a quarter to work withbut they couldn’t get anything

on the next play; 7 – 7 in the land ofChester.

The Bombers controlled theremaining minutes of the 2nd quarteras they broke the tie then extendedtheir lead from 14 – 7 to 17 – 7 witha field goal as time tick – tick –ticked – tocked away. Three shotsfrom inside the 10 but Kenstoncouldn’t finish, the Wolverines wereready as the defense held; 17 – 7at the half.

This time of year we expect MotherNature to show up, I mean shealways does, right? Her chili moodand cold as ice attitude rained downcovering everyone like a wet blanketduring flu season; thanks Ma butstay home next time!

Apparently a dry warm coat and alittle Chicken Soup for the Soul didthe body good because theWolverines came out firing on allcylinders as they grounded themighty Bombers in the 2nd half!

A three and out to start the 3rd quarterfor Kenston led to the first big playof the 2nd half for the Wolverines.On fourth down Kenston lined upin punt formation but nobodyblocked Charlie Drain as he blewin and blocked the punt; 1st downWest Geauga at the 13 but Kenstonheld, still 17 – 7.

Another set of downs led to another3 and out which led to anotherblown punt opportunity for theBombers. Now I don’t know if itwas a designed fake, but either waythe Wolverines blew it up;opportunity denied first down WestGeauga at the Kenston 31.

to watch their mail boxes for asurvey about land use issues inRussell Township.

“This is residents' opport-unity to have a voice in thefuture of their Township," saidJim Dickinson, Russell Townshiptrustee and former chairman ofthe township zoningcommission.

“By participating in the landuse decisions of RussellTownship, they help to shape thekind of community they wantlive in,” he said.

At the request of the boardof trustees, the zoningcommission is currently workingto update the plan.

The plan was originallyadopted by the residents in 1975and updated in 1995 to guideland use through 2015. The guideplan is updated every 20 years.

“The township’s zoningregulations are based on theComprehensive Land UseGuide Plan”, said RichardSnyder, chairman of the RussellTownship Zoning Commission.

“It is critical not just to guide thecommission as to what kind ofcommunity residents wantRussell to be, but it is also usedas the basis for defending ourzoning in court, should it bechallenged.”

At the time of the lastupdate, a township-wide surveywas sent to all residents, andtheir opinions and requests werecarefully considered whencompiling the updated guideplan.

In 1995, residents responded

overwhelmingly they wanted tomaintain Russell’s semi-ruralcharacter.

The zoning commission hasdecided to use many of thesame questions in the newsurvey to find out if residents'views have changed during thepast 20 years.

"There have been shiftssince the last survey," saysSnyder. “For instance, ourpopulation is aging as retiredresidents chose to stay in theirhomes. This means manyresidents may be concernedabout in-law suites or findingways to downsize while

remaining in Russell." The survey will be mailed by

Cleveland State University,which will analyze the resultsand then share them with thezoning commission and trustees.

It will be completelyanonymous and no townshipofficial will ever see thecompleted questionnaires. Thesurvey should arrive inmailboxes in the next week.

StalkingThree out of five stalking

victims are stalked by a currentor former intimate partner.

Stalking refers to repeatedharassing or threateningbehavior by an individual, suchas following a person, appearingat a person's home or place ofbusiness, making harassingphone calls, leaving writtenmessages or objects, orvandalizing a person's property.This “pattern of conduct” isdefined as two or more actionsof repeated, unwanted attention,harassment and/or contact.

The most prevalent type ofstalking case involves someprevious personal or romanticrelationship between the stalkerand the victim.

This includes domesticviolence cases and relationshipsin which there is no history ofviolence.

In these cases, stalkers try tocontrol every aspect of theirvictims' lives.

The victim becomes thestalker's source of self-esteemand the loss of the relationshipbecomes the stalker's greatestfear.

This dynamic makes astalker dangerous. Intrusionsbecome more frequent overtime and harassing behavioroften escalates to direct orindirect threats.

Unfortunately, cases thatreach this level of seriousnessoften end in violence.

If you or someone you love isa victim of stalking, WomenSafecan help point you in the rightdirection.

You may be eligible toreceive a Civil StalkingProtection Order (CSPO), whichprotects victims who, by law, arenot family/household membersof the abuser.

Whether or not criminalcharges have been filed, aperson can ask the court for aCSPO at the common pleascourt in his/her county ofresidence.

This order can last up to fiveyears. Depending on therelationship between the victim

and the perpetrator, this mayinvolve the court advocacyprogram offered by Women-Safe.

Documentation is key; keepa journal, save messages, textsand emails.

Anyone can be a stalker, justas anyone can be a stalkingvictim. Stalking is a crime thatcan touch anyone, regardless ofgender, race, sexual orientation,socioeconomic status, geog-raphic location or personalassociations.

Unfortunately, there is nosingle psychological orbehavioral profile for stalkers.This makes it virtuallyimpossible to devise a singleeffective strategy that can beapplied to every situation.

It is vital that stalking victimsimmediately seek the advice oflocal victim specialists who canwork with them to devise asafety plan for their uniquesituation and circum-stances.

For 24 hour crisis support,call COPEline, 1-888-285-5665.
