Chester Township might beone of the first townships in thearea to regulate outdoor woodboiler heating systems, after thetownship Zoning Commissionpresented a proposed zoningamendment to trustees on Aug.22.The boilers burn seasoned

wood to heat steam that is pipedinto homes, Zoning CommissionChairwoman Margaret Muehlingsaid.She told trustees they are

currently not allowed under thetownship’s zoning code. Thezoning commission has spentalmost a year researching theissue and putting together aproposed amendment to regu-late them as conditional uses.During an Aug. 22 public

hearing, Muehling told trusteesshe was aware of only a fewboilers currently in the town-ship, but the zoning commissionbelieves they should be limitedto being constructed on five-acre lots with several restric-tions.“This is all new,” Muehling

said. “The definition is a wood-fired boiler installed outside abuilding to provide heat for anyinterior space, also an outdoorwood-fired furnace or ahydronic heater that is EPA-approved. That’s a pretty fancydefinition.”

She said the zoning commis-sion’s main concern is thatsmoke generated from theheaters could be hazardous toboth the homeowner and toneighboring properties.To be granted status as a

conditional use, the boilershould be manufactured toEnvironmental ProtectionAgency standards; limited toone on a five-acre lot; shouldheat only the main house; belocated behind the house andnot visible from the road; be atleast 100 feet from a rear orside lot line; should be at least

Big expectations surroundWest Geauga’s five senior vol-leyball players, Meghan Day-ringer, Annie Dolphin, MakaylaMolleé, Olivia Pirosko andRachel Szczepinski.Under new head coach Peter

Mihu, the team has started theseason at 2-0, with wins againstperennial CVC Valley champi-ons, the Kirtland Hornets andBerkshire Badgers.The Wolverines didn’t just

win, but dominated sets, 3-1 and3-0.“What we’re doing is we are

practicing our game,” said Mihu,who spent 17 years as an assis-tant at Brush and Regina beforetaking his first head varsity job. “That’s what I tell the girls,

just to play the way we practice.”Mihu believes happy players

play better, so encourages theteam have fun, even duringmatches.“I tell them to break it up a

bit, serve to different zones,” hesaid after the Berkshire win.“And I have something I call‘tips and tricks’ to break it upand make it exciting.”West Geauga never trailed

Berkshire Aug. 27 in a swelter-ing gymnasium in Burton. Afterwithstanding a late Berkshirerally in the first set, the Wolver-ines won 25-20.In the second set, Megan

Tomsich, a junior, served 12straight points to give WestGeauga a 20-10 lead before the25-13 win. Jenna Kijauskas hada thunderous kill that forced aBerkshire timeout.Dayringer, with her sideways

jump serve for lack of a betterterm, put West Geauga aheadagain. And the Wolverines wenton to win 25-15, completing thematch.Cassie Carlo, a sophomore;

Residents are visiting muse-ums throughout the UnitedStates each month without leav-ing Northeast Ohio through aninnovative adult education pro-gram at Lakeland CommunityCollege.The distance learning center

at Lakeland’s Holden UniversityCenter uses video screens andtechnology to enable studentssitting in one of its high-techclassrooms to teleconference livewith museum staff members, seeand hear presentations, and askquestions.“It’s a lot like using Skype,”

Dave Mitchell explained.Mitchell, who lives in

Kirtland, is a volunteer with theLakeland Community CollegeFoundation and helps to hostthe program along with AnnDagistino, who heads up thecollege’s senior adult educationprogram.On Aug. 16, the class visited

the Mariners’ Museum inNewport News, Va. The muse-um’s guide, Erica Deale, lec-tured on the subject of tsunamis.Using charts and photo-

graphs at the Virginia museum,she explained how tsunamis areformed, how fast they can traveland the damage they can cause.She highlighted information ather museum on the 2004

Indonesian earthquake andtsunami, and the 2011 earth-quake and tsunami in Japan.Deale said the museum’s

location near the AtlanticOcean places it closer to hurri-canes, which she said are moreaffected by global warming.

The participants askedDeale about the effects of hurri-canes and rising ocean surfaceson the Outer Banks of NorthCarolina. She explained over

time the sand is being movedfrom the Atlantic Ocean side ofthe Outer Banks and being re-deposited to the mainland side.“We’re seeing a lot of ero-

sion,” she said.Several participants said

they would like to return to theMariners’ Museum for a pro-gram on hurricanes.“I learned a lot today,” Char-

lene Cunningham of WilloughbyHills said. “I think I got my mas-ter’s degree in tsunamis."Maggie Soeder of Wickliffe

said she would like Mitchell toorganize a bus trip to visit themuseum in person.

They might have been com-peting in a neutral ring, but WestGeauga Schools SuperintendentGeoff Palmer must have felt likehe was on enemy grounds duringThursday afternoon’s annualChicken Flying Contest againstKenston Schools SuperintendentBob Lee.But despite jeers from a

throng of Kenston studentsseated in the small grandstandat The Great Geauga CountyFair, Palmer’s pick, Toffee, easilyout flew Blacky, Lee’s trumpet-ed rooster. “Clearly, their students were

excited as were ours,” Palmersaid. “It was an exciting day, abeautiful day at the fair and awonderful learning opportunityfor all.” Lee, who was looking for a

three-peat — he defeated Palmerin 2012 and former West GeaugaSuperintendent Tom Diringer is2011 — opted to have Blacky flyfirst. The rooster disappointed the

Bombers’ loyalist, however,when he landed just 13 feet,nine inches from the mailboxmounted on a 12-foot high post.As Geauga County Fair

Board President Bob Rogishgently nudged Toffee out of themailbox with a toilet plunger,she took flight, landing 22 feet,6 inches, into the corral as adozen or so young, anxious chil-dren raced to catch her.Palmer’s prize: a yellow rub-

ber chicken mounted on a tro-phy stand.“Rivalries and excitement

are part of what makes school aspecial place and this littlerivlary is just a fun way of hav-ing a little spirited competitionthat works in that same mode,”Palmer said, adding he’s onlyflown two chickens in his life.“Though I’m getting better,”

he said with a laugh.

Palmer was strategic in hischoice of bird, he said.“I had seen Toffee fly last

year and saw that she hadanother good flight again thisyear so I thought it would onlybe right that she would fly forWest Geauga yesterday,” hesaid. “I was pretty confidentonce I was able to secureToffee’s services.” With Thursday’s win, West

Geauga leads Kenston, 3-2, inthe contest that began five yearsago between the two schools.Toffee, who won the hen

division with a flight of 39 feet,six inches, went on Thursday tosquare off against Zeus, whowon the rooster division with aflight of 27 feet, three inches. Toffee was declared the

grand champion when she out-distanced Zeus, 26 feet, threeinches to 19 feet, four inches.Toffee, who earned runner-

up honors last year, is owned byLana Strimbu, 15, of Chardon. Zeus is owned by Olivia

Stern, 11, of Hamdben Township.

Groups of students fromboth schools were given a time-out from educational “GeaugaLeans” tours of the fairground’sagricultural barns and facilities.Sponsored by Geauga

County Probate and JuvenileCourt Judge Tim Grendell,“Geauga Leans” was startedseveral years ago when Gren-dell was a state senator to teachchildren with little knowledgeof their nearby rural neighborsmore about agriculture and itsimportance to American life.“They get school credit for

the day and they get to be atthe fair,” Grendell said. “Theyget six hours of learning abouteverything from agricultureand crops to soil and waterconservation.”Grendell and his wife, 11th

District Court of Appeals JudgeDiane Grendell, have sponsoredthe contest, which was hostedby WOIO Channel 19 noonweather anchor Jason Hand-man, for six years now.

“I really learned a lot,” she said.Both women said they have

attended every one of the 10 pro-grams held since last fall.Their favorite was a telecon-

ference trip to a museum inPhiladelphia to view religious art.The museum series is the

brainchild of Mitchell along withBob Cohen, the foundation’sdirector.

“We were kicking aroundideas on attracting seniors to thedistance learning center and try-ing to formulate an interestingseries,” Mitchell said. “Because Iam also affiliated with the Cleve-land Natural History Museum,we started by showcasing muse-ums in our own backyard.”Mitchell has not ruled out

programs on European muse-ums, but he said the time-zonedifferences would make themmore difficult to achieve.He said the $15 per class

cost does not pay for the

expenses, including teleconfer-encing charges and admission tothe museums.Lake County National Bank

sponsors the series and helps tofund the program. The bank islocated on Center Street inMentor.“We’re Lake County’s only

locally owned bank,” said bankPresident Andrew Meinhold.“It’s a good fit for us becausewe’re cheerleaders for LakelandCommunity College. Like thecollege, we’re a hidden gem inthe community.”The next class is scheduled

for 10 a.m. Sept 27, when thegroup teleconferences with TheSmithsonian American ArtMuseum in Washington, D.C., fora guided tour of artwork depict-ing the Civil War.Upcoming programs will

study Nanoscale Science and thefuture of food at the BoonshoftMuseum of Discovery Oct. 25and the Kennedy Assassinationat the Sixth Floor MuseumNov.15.The noncredit series is open

junior; Christina Rakich, a jun-ior; and Megan Tomsich, a jun-ior, round out the Wolverines2013 varsity roster.“I think we played pretty

well,” said Dolphin, the team’slibero. “I think there’s still a fewthings we could clean up, like wemissed a few serves, so weweren’t playing to our full poten-tial, but we pulled through.”“I think we did really well,

too,” added Mollé, the setter.“But there’s also some things,like serving to work on and justpulling together as a team.”Dolphin and Mollé were cho-

sen captains by their teammates,something their coach was pleasedwith.“They picked two great girls,”

Mihu said. “They really motivatethe team. They really assist me alot. I can’t ask for two better cap-tains. Whatever I ask them to dothey can do it.”

Dolphin said being chosencaptain was rewarding.“Because I think we really

worked throughout our wholehigh school career for this oppor-tunity. And now it’s finally here,”she said. “It’s just a really goodfeeling.”Anne Kryzwicki and Steph-

anie Rowen are varsity assistantsand the junior varsity and fresh-men coaches, respectively.With this senior leadership —

like the kills of Dayringer, whofinished with 19 in the Berkshirewin — Dolphin wants the teamto focus on the CVC Chagrin thisyear.Of Dayringer, Mihu said:

“Teams are afraid of her becauseshe can really crush the ball.”“We have a lot of seniors on

the team, so we’re looking to pulltogether, and do really well thisseason, hopefully,” said Mollé.To see more photos from the

The bad blood among Che-ster Township Trustees wasobvious at their meeting Thurs-day, when one trustee explainedwhy he frequently abstains fromvoting and the other tworefused to re-do a previousmeeting at his request. Trustee Ken Radtke began

the volleys shortly after thefour-and-a-half-hour meetingstarted, when he requestedtrustees approve two sets ofmeeting minutes separately. “Why is that?” Trustee Mike

Joyce asked him. “Some language in there is

not sufficient information forthe reader to understand why I(voted the way I did),” Radtkesaid, adding he voted againstsome issues and thought theminutes should reflect his rea-soning. “I thought it important for

my reasons for voting against itbe included in the minutes and Iemailed (Fiscal Officer Mike)Stark about it,” Radtke said. Stark did not attend the

meeting.The minutes for the July 8

and Aug. 14 meetings wereapproved over Radtke’s “no”vote. Caputo said the minutes are

the responsibility of the fiscalofficer, who writes them as hesees fit and approving them in atimely manner is the responsi-bility of the trustees.Moments later, when Joyce

moved to change a road work-er’s status from part time to fulltime, Radtke questionedwhether the move should bemade, considering the roaddepartment’s tight budget. “Have my fellow trustees

looked at the financial report?”Radtke asked. Caputo said she had looked

at the department’s budget for2014 and believed there wasenough money available tomake the change. “I looked at what impact

this would be for 2014,” she toldRadtke. “I know you asked(Road Superintendent RobPealer) for a five year report,but he was not able to presentthat. I saw the numbers for thenext two years.” “That’s not quite accurate,”

Radtke said. “I asked to post-pone this until September 6.”“I talked to Mr. Pealer

(about the finances), and any-thing after 2014 is really aguesstimate,” Caputo said. Joyce said he believed that

some road department employ-ees might retire during the nextfew years, and added that Pealerassured him that there was suf-ficient money to make thechange. When the vote was taken,

Radtke said, “I’m abstainingfrom the vote.” Joyce andCaputo voted for the motion. Radtke abstained again a

few minutes later, on a $2,600contract between the township,Alger and Associates, and theState Auditor. “I abstain because I have not

had a chance to discuss this withthe fiscal officer,” Radtke said.

When the next issue on theagenda—a payment of $87,000for renewal of the township’sproperty and liability insur-ance—came up, Radtke said,“I’ll second but I want somediscussion, please. Was this onthe draft agenda? I don’t thinkso.”Caputo said the insurance

had expired, and Joyce said itwas in the grace period andneeded to be passed or thetownship would no longer becovered. “I’m abstaining again,”

Radtke said. “Very good,” Joyce said. The

motion passed. When a motion came up to

transfer $11,000 from the con-tingencies fund to pay for ahouse demolition and a $4,000overrun for the Marilyn Driveproject, Radtke said, “I’m goingto vote yes.” “Very good,” Joyce said. The

motion passed unanimously. Radtke brought up the

trustees’ special meeting onJune 6, which became the centerof controversy when he ques-tioned whether the meeting hadviolated Ohio’s Sunshine Lawrequiring 24 hour notification,and whether trustees hadincluded business that had notbeen on the agenda. Radtke had said at previous

meetings that legal counsel hadagreed that the meeting mighthave been questionable, andmay have to be rescinded anddone over. The other twotrustees have consistently saidthe meeting was proper underthe law.Thursday night, Radtke

brought the issue up again. Hetold trustees that he hadreceived an email from Assist-ant County Prosecutor SusanWieland, saying that the June 6meeting should only haveincluded agenda issues that hadbeen advertised and the meet-ing actions should be rescindedand re-approved.“So we did in fact have guid-

ance from the prosecutor whenwe asked for clarification,”Radtke said. Following what he said were

recommendations from Wie-land, Radtke moved to approveall the business that had beenconducted at the June 6 meet-ing. Caputo and Joyce refusedto second his motion. Then Radtke said, “I move

to rescind (all motions from the

June 6 meeting) as recom-mended by the Geauga CountyProsecutor’s Office.” Again, there were no sec-

onds. Radtke said he had objected

to trustees amending the role ofthe township administrativeassistant at that special meeting,which had been called primarilyfor bid openings, but hadincluded provision for any otherbusiness to come before theboard. “We did not amend it; we

clarified it,” Joyce told him.“Three times you said at thatmeeting that it was illegal, butyou participated,” referring toRadtke having voted on someof the issues at that meeting. “I did make the mistake,”

Radtke admitted. “I shouldhave abstained.” Caputo said that an absten-

tion is a vote. Radtke repliedthat, under Robert’s Rules ofOrder, silence is considered avote and an abstention is notconsidered a vote. Joyce saidthe trustees never voted to useRobert’s Rules of Order. Caputo said she had heard

from Wieland that the assistantprosecutor had never statedthat the meeting had been ille-gal. “She only said to stick to the

items on the agenda,” Caputosaid, adding that the meetinghad been set up five weeks ear-lier. She accused Radtke ofbeing upset about the motiondefining the administrativeassistant position as directlyanswerable to the trustee chair-man. “If someone wants to file (a

complaint), then bring it on;that’s my opinion on it,” Caputosaid. “Her advice was to re-do the

Fight For Rural ValuesThe HUD as a part of the

Sustainable Communities initia-tive is moving to transformrural American; robbing thesuburbs to pay for “big city” ini-tiatives and failures. As aNOACA board member, I amvery concerned.NEOSCC is one of the

biggest threats facing residentsof Geauga County. Who isNEOSCC and why are they athreat?Northeast Ohio Sustainable

Communities Consortium(NEOSCC) or the “Vibrant-NEO 2040” initiative is federal-ly funded by the HUD Region-alism Grant Program and thefour Northeast Ohio Metro-politan Planning Organizations(MPO’s) — NOACA, AMATS,SCATS and Eastgate.The MPO’s are overseen by

unelected unaccountable bu-reaucrats and they regularlymake decisions that impactGeauga County.There are many concerns

about MPO’s aside fromNEOSCC. But, The MPO’shave formed an alliance withHUD to create a regional planfor 12 Northeast Ohio counties.That regional plan, which is duein the fall of 2013, to be imple-mented beginning in 2014, willput measures in place to controlland use, housing, transporta-tion, food production, consump-tion patterns, water, energy,education, health care and therole of industry.The outcomes will be a loss

of property rights and many ofthe freedoms we now enjoy.There will be more low incomehousing in Geauga County, aregional authority that siphonsGeauga County tax dollars tolarger metropolitan areas forprojects that are “for the goodof the region.” Geauga Countywill experience land use plansthat control how people usetheir property, define generalproperty uses, determine whattransportation is appropriate,and much much more.As it was said to me in a

workshop, “The goal is denselypopulated interconnected com-munities surrounded by greenspace.” All this managed byunaccountable unelected bu-reaucrats.Not possible say you. Ask

the folks in Westchester County,New York. Westchester has lostcontrol over its own future.For more information, read

“Spreading the Wealth” byStanley Kurtz. This effort is anational effort, which is being

conducted across the U.S. Theeffects to be seen in two tothree years. Now is the time tostop it.What are your elected offi-

cials doing? Nothing. Most areasleep and not involved. Othersare very involved in helpingwith this initiative, ignorantabout the future impacts.If this concerns you, then

you must get involved. Citizensof Geauga County, you shoulddo the following: Attend aforum by Citizens Forum onNEOSCC and regionalism, thatis being held Sept. 14, 1 p.m., atTri-C University. Reach out toyour elected officials and askthem what they know. Ask themto fight for Geauga Countyrural values. Ask them to fightfor you and the freedoms wenow enjoy.

Negative Feelings HurtChesterSaturday, Aug. 24, 2013, was

the day the true spirit ofChester Township made itselfknown.The third annual Chesterfest

was held, for the first time, inParkside Park, the true heart ofChester Township. It was a fab-ulous day with an estimated3,000 Chester residents andChester resident wannabeesenjoying a perfect party.The positive feeling of family,

friends and fun ... it was unbe-lievable.It was also the day the latest

Chester Observer came out. Itwas one of the most negativeopinion sheets I have ever read.I suppose there is a one in 365

day chance that was a coinci-dence (1/365 = .274%) or theinverse, 99.726% chance it wasplanned to coincide to throw awet towel on the pride.Those people owe an apology

to the Chesterland Chamber ofCommerce, the Chester ParkCommission, all of the communi-ty groups and individual peoplewho worked so hard to makeChesterfest the huge success itwas.Normally, I just ignore these

people who say they want trans-parency and truth, and yet havenever said who is responsiblefor what story they twist up intheir sheet. They just list theirnames on the bottom corner soas to hide in a group.I just want to add a few

more points of interest to theirlead version on the firefighters“... Resign or Be Fired.” Thosetwo people worked for theChester Fire Company when itwas not part of Chester Town-ship; it was an independentcompany contracted to protectChester.When it went out of busi-

ness, Chester Township folded itinto Chester as one of ourworking departments. Theycame with it. Chester now hadtwo employees who worked fortwo departments, doubling ourliability with the bureau ofworkers’ compensation andinsurance.Further, if there were ever

an emergency where the firedepartment needed the roaddepartment’s help, which hatwould they wear? It is impossi-ble to be in two places at once.

feature is not a battlegroundfor repeated arguing betweenopposing parties. Rebuttals arewelcome; successive volleys arenot. No more than two lettersby a single writer on a specifictopic will be published in athree-month period.Only political advertise-

ments placed by a candidate ora candidate’s representative(s)will be accepted. These adver-tisements will concern them-selves with the issues of thecampaign and/or the experienceand qualifications of the candi-date.

20 feet from a structure; have achimney at least eight feet high;have a spark arrestor on thechimney; sit on a concrete padat least eight inches thick; con-form to all county buildingcodes, fire codes, UnderwritersLaboratory Codes and Amer-ican National Standards Insti-tute Codes; and burn only cleannatural fuel such as seasonedhardwood, corn, pellets or bio-mass fuel, according to zoningcommission data.Burning garbage or trash,

construction materials, treatedor painted wood, plastics, rub-ber, paper or card-board wouldbe prohibited, Muehling toldtrustees.Applicants would be re-

quired to submit scale drawingsof the location and any build-ings within a radius of 300 feetof the boiler, as well as anowner’s manual from the manu-facturer, she said.If a boiler’s use has been dis-

continued, the homeowner mustremove it and the pad within 12months. However, if the home-owner wants to continue usingthe pad, he or she would needto file a zoning application,Muehling told trustees.Muehling said both the

Geauga County Planning Com-mission and the zoning commis-sion have approved the pro-posed amendment, both afterthe required public hearings.“Now the trustees need to

approve it,” Muehling said. “Weworked to set reasonable,rational conditions that are forthe good of the community andwe ask for trustees’ approval.”Trustee Ken Radtke ques-

tioned the provision that wouldrequire the homeowner toremove the concrete pad if thefurnace is no longer used.

“If you wanted to keep thepad, you would have to apply tothe BZA and pay a $250 appli-cation fee,” Radtke said.“I think that’s probably

true,” replied Muehling.Radtke also questioned why

a person would be required tosubmit an owner’s manual.“That seems like a lot of

paperwork,” he said.“I disagree,” Muehling told

him. “The owner’s manual is awealth of information. I thinkthat’s critical.”She fielded several questions

from the audience regarding thelot restrictions and the provisionthat would make the homeown-er remove the concrete pad.One resident said, because a

conditional use does not staywith the property, anyone buy-ing the property would have toapply to the Board of ZoningAppeals in order to continueheating with the boiler.“I cannot think of a BZA

that would not grant a newowner permission to continueusing it,” Muehling assured theresident.Other residents questioned

the ability of the homeowner toobtain an owner’s manualbefore purchasing the unit.Muehling said the provision

could be changed from requir-ing an owner’s manual torequiring a written set of EPAspecifications for each unit.“The problem is the impact

on the neighbors,” Muehlingsaid. “If these units are notproperly installed, the neigh-bors could lose the use of theiryard.”Resident Cathy Cotman

questioned whether the restric-tions could be enforced.“You’re regulating what

people can buy as an appli-ance,” Cotman said. “Whatprompted this?”Zoning Commission mem-

ber Ruth Aster said, “This wasbrought to our attention, as thezoning commission, that thereare five units in our community

that are not in compliance.We’ve tried to make somethingavailable so that people canhave them.”Trustees voted to close the

public comment, but Radtkesaid he would like to continuethe trustees’ discussion at alater date before voting on theamendment.“I took a lot of notes here

and have a lot of questions onissues that need further thoughtor discussion,” Radtke said.Muehling said trustees have

up to 30 days after the publichearing closes to make a deci-sion.Trustee Judy Caputo sug-

gested continuing the trustees’discussion at their next meeting,scheduled for Sept. 5, and tak-ing a vote at that time. ButRadtke insisted that was notenough time for him to preparefor a vote because he would beout of town for a few days, fol-lowed by a holiday.Caputo said she might not

be able to attend the followingmeeting on Sept. 19 and pre-ferred to address it on Sept. 5.“I need to go through my

notes, construct my summaryand conduct my research,”Radtke said. “I don’t think it’swrong to push it back twoweeks. I think a thoughtfulprocess is appropriate.”Both Caputo and Trustee

Mike Joyce said they believedthey would be prepared to voteon Sept. 5.“That leaves me four days of

time to conduct this work,”Radtke said. “We’re in a rush tocomplete something that took(the zoning commission) eightmonths to do.”“Don’t belittle me because I

won’t be here on the 19th,”Caputo told Radtke.Radtke replied: “Don’t judge

my schedule of work. Makeyour motion.”Caputo and Joyce voted to

continue the hearing at theSept. 5 meeting. Radtke votedno.

Chester Zoning from page 1

Also, should a worker beinjured, both departments wereimpacted by the loss. The finan-cial risk to the township is dou-bled while the function of bothdepartments would be reduced.This was recognized and

addressed with the fire depart-ment union during negotiations.The union agreed with theabove and ratified the contract— contract, not policy — withthe township.It was understood that

either the full-time positionwith the road department or thepart-time position with the firedepartment would be vacatedwithin a certain time period.They could work with a differ-ent road department or firedepartment, as most firefightersdo, just not in Chester. They didnot honor their contract; theunion did not enforce the con-tract; so a letter was sent.

Looking at history, we sawthat neither employee has actu-ally worked as a firefighter inyears; it was not enforced. Bothare still on both rosters, al-though at least one of themwould have to be recertified asa firefighter.Did you get this idea from

the Chester Observer’s version?Who actually wrote that ver-sion? They do not say.Why not ask the people list-

ed jointly in the lower corner ofthe sheet who wrote what. I donot think they will claim eachcreation independently.Why can they not see the

negative feelings they createonly hurt Chester? There hasnever been even one positivethought in that sheet.In fact, they have never even

asked if you want to receivetheir sheet. They just imposetheir version into your mail orpaper boxes.

I Corinthians 12:14

The Church’s purpose is to help children identify who they are. This identificationwith a larger body than oneself (the Body of Christ) builds pride in the individual

and sense of purpose in their life.

meeting, and that’s what I’vedone,” Radtke said, adding thatWieland had recommended rat-ifying the issues passed at theJune 6 meeting before rescind-ing the meeting. Radtke said that, unless

Caputo backs up her commentsabout what Wieland told herwith copies of emails, “It’s justhearsay.” “Don’t tell me how to do my

job,” Caputo told Radtke. Shesaid she resented Radtke’s com-ments in the newspaper thatcommunications should havebeen done in a “prompt andprofessional manner.” “I resent your innuendo that

I was not professional,” she toldhim, adding that Radtke’scharges that he is left out ofcommunications are not true. “Your conduct is unprofes-

sional,” a woman in the audi-ence shouted.

“One more outburst and I’llhave you removed,” Joyce toldher. Caputo brought up an old

invoice dated February 18 fromVoteworks, which she said theboard of trustees never author-ized but has been marked aspast due. “There’s no documentation,

no scope of what the work was,no vote taken for board approvalof these funds,” Caputo said toRadtke. “You’ve known aboutthis bill and have done nothing.” “I didn’t authorize any work;

I don’t know how it got ap-proved; I didn’t authorize any-thing,” Radtke replied. “Clearly the township has

incurred a bill for $4,615,”Caputo said.“This has nothing to do with

the primary concern about theSunshine Law,” Radtke said.“I’ll do research and get back toyou.” Trustees adjourned the

meeting at 11:25 p.m.
