Frosty may be a cold snow-man, but even his heart wouldhave been warmed by a com-munity tree lighting ceremonySaturday.

More than 100 ChesterTownship residents attendedthe second annual WinterFestival and Tree Lighting atParkside Park’s gazebo, spon-sored by the ChesterlandRotary Club.

The 30-minute presentationfeatured speeches from officialsof the Rotary, which was instru-mental in the event’s planning,said Chester Township ParkBoard President Lance Yandell.

Yandell, who oversees thethree-member board, said thetownship’s park board isresponsible for the community’sthree parks, including Parksideand the famous gazebo.

Participants and Christmaslight enthusiasts were treated toapproximately 25 displays lit upthroughout the park.

Chesterland Rotary Pres-ident Jay Jones spoke about themagic of Christmas and theplanning that went into theWinter Festival.

“A lot of effort was put intothis,” Jones said. “I’d like to alsothank the Boy and Girl Scouttroops that showed up.”

Various Boy Scouts helpedlight the walkway leading fromthe parking lot to the gazebo,while Girl Scouts, Brownies,Daisies and Cadettes from mul-tiple troops sang Christmas car-ols after Jones spoke.

The park board provided$5,500 in funding — $3,500 fordecorations and $2,000 forlighting — to the Rotary.Yandell also said PeerlessElectric helped wire and helpedprovide electric service to thedisplays.

The Wolverines boys basket-ball team has undergone manyoffseason changes.

“It’s going to be different,”says John Cardiero, sitting in hisathletic director’s office. After16 wins a year ago, theWolverines return just onestarter.

But football injuries haveeliminated seniors Nick Rakichand Tory Palmer for the season.

Others were banged up tostart the season, like CooperStafford. He and AnthonyInsana are the only two withany varsity experience.

West Geauga stays positive,

though, under Cardiero, now inhis fifth season as head coach.

“They’re trying to find theircomfort zone, and you can see itday by day,” Cardiero said. “Weknow it’s going to be rough atfirst, especially in the CVC.”

Stafford is one of the seniorswho will have to calm roughwaters.

“We are looked at to beleaders,” he said. “Last yearthat’s what the seniors did forus.”

Cardiero said Stafford has“freakish athletic ability.”

“We’ve preached to him tobe confident,” he continued.“We have to keep him healthy.”

Owen Hest-er, who willplay both guardspots, is one ofmany Wolver-ines forced toplay junior var-sity last seasonbecause of thestrong senior class.

He is a shooter and suspectsthe team will have five shooterson the floor at all times.

“He has a deadly shot,”Cardiero said. “There’s nodoubt about that. We are gettinghim to play defense, too.”

Cardiero wants WestGeauga to run the floor and

play a style of basketball thatmimics a successful local pro-gram.

“Let’s make it a track meet

and wear people down,” he said.

“Mini Mentor.”Players like Insana will take

on a more important scoringrole. The team returns about

two points per contest, leavingopportunities for those willingto stuff the stat sheets.

“We have big shoes to fill,”Insana said. “We have to stepup and score points.”

David Wolfhope will pointguard the new style. He is a

Africa, Asia and elsewherearound the world are on displayin a reconstructed 1800s schoolhouse adjacent to the center’stwo-story main building, wherethose made in the U.S. are beingshown.

Included in the school houseexhibit are two nativity scenesmade by a married couple serv-ing as missionaries at the visi-tors' center.

One scene includes a largeflat rock pulled from a streamnear to the visitors' center whileanother is made from woodfound in the area, Sorenson said.

“We have some very creativeand talented people here. Thiscouple wanted to contribute bymaking something for us,” hesaid.

Among the internationalcollection is a nativity scenesecretly carved by a Chineseman in communist China, whereJennie Best, a Latter-day SaintsChurch member and longtimenativity project volunteer fromPerry, said Christianity is forbid-den to be practiced.

A Florida couple that islending it to the nativity exhibitsomehow obtained it, she said.

One foreign-made exceptionis a large nativity scene made inBethlehem, Israel, the birth-place of Jesus Christ.

Made by Merton Bartelmay,an Israeli, the exquisitely andmeticulously carved olive woodnativity scene sits in the lobbyof the center’s main buildingalong with a tall Christmas tree.

“This wood is specialbecause you can't carve olivewood unless it has dried for 14years,” Sorenson said.

Among the donated nativityscenes in the main building is a“Nativity in a Tomb.”

Even though its name doesn'tlend itself to the birth of Christ,the nativity scene by GermanNorbert Kohen was among thosemade by wood carving craftsmenin Oberammergau, Germany, atthe close of World War II.

Built with hinges, it resem-bles a bomb or bullet whenclosed. When opened, a careful-ly carved nativity scene wasfound inside.

American soliders weregiven these unique nativity cre-ations as thanks for sparing thetown from destruction by U.S.bombers, Sorenson said.

Oberammergau could havebeen blown off the face of theearth. It was adjacent to the siteof an underground researchcomplex where Messerschmittjet engines were developed forGerman fighter aircraft.

Also in the building is anativity scene consisting of mid-size modern metal statues, mostof which roughly resemble StarWars villain Darth Vader.

“That's why we called it ourDarth Vader nativity scene,”Sorenson joked.

Started with only a fewdozen nativity scenes, the exhib-it has grown over the years tobecome one of the largest in thecountry, Sorenson said.

About half the nativityscenes have been donated per-manently to the annual nativityproject, including 200 by onewoman.

This year, 320 temporarilyhave been lent to the center,some by local people and othersfrom as far away as Rochester,N.Y., Best said.

“We've become well knownfor what we do. It's one way ofhonoring and worshiping ourSavior Jesus Christ,” Sorensonsaid.

Each year, Latter-day Saintsmissionaries wait until the dayafter Halloween to begin settingup the exhibit, a meticulousproject that usually takes abouttwo months.

The permanently donatednativity scenes are carefullyunpacked from storage boxes asare those personally dropped offat the center to be used in theexhibit. The dismantling of scenesbegins Jan. 6 and usually takestwo or three weeks, Best said.

“When you look over every-thing here — these nativity sets,after things are set up — you seebeauty and love,” Sorenson said.

He added, “There was a lotof love in making these and theyshow the love of Christmas, andthe love He has for us.”

The president said he esti-mated the tree lighting hastaken place for at least 20 years,adding planning for the festivaltook several months. Yandellcredited local realtor andRotarian Reena Kanner for herefforts.

“The tree lighting’s gone onat least as long as the 17 years Ihave been in the Rotary Club,”Kanner said.

Although the lighting hasbecome a township tradition foryears, last week’s event wasonly the second year of the fes-tival, which included food ven-dors selling hot chocolate andpopcorn.

Yandell said Kanner boughtall of the displays needed forthe event, which included win-ter- and Christmas-themed dec-orations like snowmen andSanta Claus displays.

About 12 to 15 volunteersworked over a multi-weekendperiod to install the displays.Yandell also said “the workerbees have been at it not justweekends, but a few days duringthe week and on Saturdaymornings.”

Additionally, West GeaugaSchools technology educationteacher Jeff Novy and his woodshop class made various chim-neys on top of the pavilions thatdot the park. Complementingthe chimneys was a cutout of St.Nick, ready to take the plungedown the chimney and deposithis gifts, Yandell added.

“I just enjoy this event everyyear and I love giving back tothe community,” said Rotarymember and emcee BobSomrak Jr.

Patricia DeChellis, a GirlScout troop leader at St.Anselm School nearby, was incharge of overseeing the GirlScout choir. She said she wasproud of the girls that partici-pated.

Pam and Matt Pudelski, ofRussell Township, came withtheir children — Kyle, 6, andKaitlin, 8. Kaitlin sang in thechoir. Kyle was especiallyappreciative of the festivitiesgoing on around him.

“I loved the singing,” Kylesaid.

Thanks, Danny Boys I am compelled to write

about the outpouring supportfrom Jeff Wiseman of DannyBoys Restaurant in ChesterTownship.

He is our sponsor for our13U Travel Baseball team, "TheDanny Boys Bandits."

Danny Boys hosted our all-you-can-eat pizza, spaghetti,bread, salad and beverages din-ner on Nov. 16.

In addition to all his regularbusiness, Jeff and his crew sup-plied over 112 people a wonder-ful meal.

Jeff's support of WestGeauga sports goes above andbeyond what we expected.

Our 12 local families ravedabout the fresh food and serviceprovided in the four hours wespent in the restaurant.

I hope you can find thespace to give Danny Boy's a Big"Thank You."

If organizations or teamsneed a place to meet and eat,this is the place to go.

Because we live in a town-ship, there is no city recreationdirector to help organize fieldsor practice facilities.

Support from Danny Boys ishelping us put that in place.

Search for Children WithDisabilities

In accordance with theIndividual’s with DisabilitiesEducation Improvement Act(IDEA) of 2004, The WestGeauga Local School District isparticipating in Child Findefforts to locate, evaluate andidentify all children with dis-abilities, from birth through 21years of age, who may be enti-tled to receive special educationand related aides and services,regardless of their situations.

A disability, in this instance,means such conditions asautism, deaf/blindness, multipledisabilities, deafness/hearingimpairment, orthopedic impair-ment, visual impairment/blind-ness, specific learning disabili-ties, emotional disturbance, cog-nitive disabilities, speech andlanguage impairments, otherhealth impairments or traumat-ic brain injury.

Although many school agedchildren with disabilities areidentified and currently beingserved by the West GeaugaLocal School District, preschoolchildren ages 3-5 with disabili-ties may not yet be identifiedbecause parents may not beaware that programs and servic-es are available through thepublic school.
