Cirino Leaves WG for Bigger Opportunities BY JAMIE WARD JAMIE@GEAUGAMAPLELEAF.COM
For 33 years Lou Cirino has felt attached to West Geauga. But now the 33-year-old coach is headed to the west side. Cirino has stepped down as the Wolverines head football coach, taking the head football job, and a teaching position, at Strongsville High School. It was a bittersweet decision. “West Geauga has always been my one true love, my first love,” Cirino said Monday after school had let out. “Moving on from that, it’s going to be a whole new world for me.” What began as rumors turned into full-scale breaking news when the Strongsville Schools Board of Education posted the announcement on its website. A special board meeting was held Feb. 28 in which the Strongsville Board of Education
West Geauga Earns State Auditor’s Award SUBMITTED A recent financial audit of the West Geauga Local School District by Auditor of State Dave Yost’s office has returned a clean audit report. The district’s excellent record keeping has qualified it for the Auditor of State Award with Distinction. “Accurate bookkeeping enables school districts to focus on their chief duty – education,” Auditor Yost said. “The West Geauga Local School District’s clean audit demonstrates its commitment to both its students and taxpayers.” The award is present to local governments and school districts upon completion of a financial audit that is considered “clean,” by meeting the following criteria: The entity must file timely See Award w Page 5

approved Cirino’s hiring. As rumors continued in the hallways and throughout social media, Cirino met with his Wolverines players inside the lock-
er room at the high school, an emotional moment. “It was hard, and I could tell some kids were looking at me differently throughout the day,”
Cirino said. “But these kids are set. They know the routines. This program is better now than when I started, and that’s the way I look at it. That’s the objective.” Cirino is a 2002 West Geauga graduate who spent four years at Ohio State University before returning to West Geauga as an assistant coach right after graduation in 2006. He took over a 9-2 West Geauga team as head coach before the 2010 season and went 46-28 over his seven seasons. He reached the playoffs every other season after taking over, finishing with a 1-4 playoff record. The team’s 35-28 triple overtime win over Medina-Buckeye in 2015 was the second playoff win in school history. “I have the utmost respect for coach Cirino, and he has done a fantastic job for West Geauga See Cirino w Page 5
Goodrick Wins State Diving Championship
Russell Park Board Discusses Possible Land Sale
BY JAMIE WARD JAMIE@GEAUGAMAPLELEAF.COM Kamr yn Goodrick likes to stress the camarderie she feels with her fellow divers. But the West Geauga junior saved the best for last when she finished first in Ohio at the state tournament. Goodrick knew the competition and has qualified for the Division II state meet all three years she has competed. But with 24 divers and 11 rounds, she knew anything could happen. “I try not to think of competition,” Goodrick said. “I don’t like knowing my score. I’ve made a lot of friendships diving.” Goodrick was competing against other divers that had beaten her in other events, like the Chagrin Valley Conference meet and the Viking Invitational at Cleveland State. So when her coach Marc Cahalane told her if she kept it up, she would be the See Diving w Page 3

state champ, she was surprised. “I started to freak out a little bit on the inside,” she said. Goodrick’s last three dives are her most challenging. After her final dive, an inward double, she had sealed the win. “This was probably my best meet I’ve ever had,” she said. “I’ve had a few really good dives. And I think I was my most consistent throughout my set of dives.” Goodrick won with a total score of 468.30 at C.T. Branin Natatorium in Canton. She started diving in high school but had competed in gymnastics 10 years before she ever started diving. “Diving is one of those sports that you have to be consistent,” Goodrick said. “You can hit every dive in warmup, but you take a bad stat, there goes the dive. The more you dive, the more you can get a feel for it.”
Hannah Zahniser of West Geauga also qualified for the state diving meet. She finished 16th.

Holly’s Hearing Aid Center Hosts Event SUBMITTED It is medically recommended to have your hearing tested annually, just like your blood pressure or cholesterol. Adults with untreated hearing loss are more likely to develop dementia. Hearing loss is not just an ear issue, it is also a quality of life issue, health issue and safety issue. Hearing loss can occur naturally due to age, but it can also be caused by other health reasons that may surprise you. Some other health issues that are directly linked to hearing loss include, but are not limited to: diabetes, obesity, high blood pressure and osteoporosis. It has also been found that untreated hearing loss can lead to a very quiet, isolated life while possibly causing anxiety, depression and paranoia. Nationally-known hearing aid expert Jim Young will be at the Holly’s Hearing Aid Center Mayfield Heights location (1438 SOM Center Road) March 14-16 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. for this special event to answer
your questions about hearing loss and hearing aids. Young is looking forward to educating today’s population on all the latest hearing aid technology advancements. Holly’s Hearing Aid Center is the culmination of Holly Johnson’s deep desire to have a business dedicated to helping people who have been living without the ability to communicate effectively with others. Johnson has received many awards in her career as a hearing instrument specialist. Her most recent is the 2016 Millennium award for outstanding customer service and sales. She also proudly displays her Platinum Club award, which she has received every year since 2012. Holly’s Hearing Aid Center is proud to hold an “A+” rating with the Better Business Bureau. Holly’s Hearing Aid Center has four convenient locations; Ashtabula, Chardon, Willoughby and Mayfield Heights. For more information, or to schedule your free evaluation, call 888-638-8505.

Ms. Gregory looks forward to learning from her peers, developing new relationships with them and bringing back new strategies and techniques to improve West Geauga’s AP Chemistry program. “NSHSS attracts exemplary student scholars, but we know they don’t achieve success without the dedication and commitment of outstanding teachers. We are very
pleased to offer opportunities for professional development to dedicated educators,” said Myrna Lubin, NSHSS director of educator outreach. The National Society of High School Scholars was founded in 2002 by Claes Nobel, senior member of the family that established the Nobel Prizes. The organization seeks to advance the goals and aspirations of high-achieving students through unique learning experiences, scholarships, internships, international study and peer networks. NSHSS also supports and acknowledges the work of exemplary educators with grants to improve instruction, attend professional conferences and pursue advanced degrees.

Student Athletes of the Month SUBMITTED West Geauga High School Student Athletes of the Month for January are seniors Kara Zebrowski and Daniel Sternen. Student athletes of the month are sponsored by Hillcrest Insurance. Kara is on the girls varsity basketball team. She will be a three-year varsity letter winner for the team. After tearing her ACL late in the soccer season, Kara has been unable to play basketball her senior year. Kara has been with her varsity teammates every single day throughout her recovery. Head coach Cheryl Rye said, “Dedication and loyalty are two words that come to mind when I think of Kara. This was her team and she wanted to be a part of it. Being able to actually play the game didn’t matter to Kara or her teammates. She is still just as important to us and is an integral member of our program. Her commitment to her teammates and this program speak volumes of her character.� Kara was also a member of the girls soccer team, where she earned two varsity letters. Outside her athletic accomplishments,
she has earned a current GPA of 3.9. She is also a member of the National Honors Society and National Technical Honor Society. She plans on attending Bowling Green State University to study pre-physical therapy. Kara enjoys playing and watching sports. Most importantly, though, she values spending time with her friends and family. Daniel is on the hockey team. He will be earning his fourth varsity letter for the team. He was recognized as the Greater Cleveland Hockey League All-Star of the week with six goals in one game. Coach Gilliam praised, “Daniel has served as the team captain and leader of the team all season.� His athletic ability has allowed him to step up and successfully play a variety of positions including goalie this year. He is a coach’s dream and is determined and willing to do what’s best for the program. Off the ice, Daniel earned a GPA of 4.0 in the second quarter. Daniel is also planning on furthering his education at Bowling Green State University. He has an interest in studying health sciences. In Daniel’s spare time, he enjoys playing golf and boating with his friends.

How to Write the Perfect Classified Ad First, write a catchy and unique headline. It makes or breaks the ad and must get a prospectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attention and tell them what your ad is about. Describe what you are selling by its most commonly understood name. Second, pack as much information as you can into just a few words. Always include price; most readers wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t respond to an ad without a price. Third, keep the body of your ad short. Shorter is better and there is no need to write complete sentences, but avoid abbreviations. Lay out essential information (size, color, make, model, year and condition) and give out your contact information.

VOLUNTARY SUBSCRIPTION DRIVE
A MESSAGE FROM THE PUBLISHER
Dear Readers, Since 1967, untold numbers of residents have said how valuable the Chesterland News is to them when looking for news and information about their community. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re thankful for their compliments. Our editorial staff works hard to cover the latest community news and deliver it to 6,000 residents and businesses in Chesterland and Russell Township. For nearly 50 years, the Chesterland News has been delivered to you free of charge by depending on loyal advertisers to cover the editorial, printing, delivery and other costs of producing your paper. We encourage you to patronize them and shop local. As a reader, we know you value a vibrant newspaper that is dedicated to and reflects the community in which you live. An informed public means citizens understand what is happening in their community and have a voice in its direction. However, the cost of producing your newspaper increases every year and our advertising revenue stream has waned, so we need your help to remain a viable local news and information source into the future. Our advertisers can no longer shoulder 100% of the burden. To help us continue to invest in your community, we'd like to invite you to become a voluntary subscriber to the Chesterland News. A voluntary payment of $25 for the year will allow us to maintain mail delivery â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a major cost for any newspaper â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and to maintain and improve the quality of your paper, ensuring you get even more information, both in print and online, about the goings on in your community. With a voluntary payment of $25, you also will receive a FREE classified advertisement in the paper, a $10 value. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll also toss in a one-year online subscription â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a $35 value â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to Geauga Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s award-winning newspaper, the Geauga County Maple Leaf. Our website, www.geaugamapleleaf.com, has been voted the best independently owned newspaper website in Ohio! If you value community journalism, please consider helping us. The support we hope to receive from voluntary subscribers and advertisers is the only way we can continue to deliver the local coverage you deserve. Simply complete the subscription form in this edition or call 440-729-7667.
