Fairmount Preps for 48 Years of Art
By Allison Wilson editor@kArlovecmediA com
As July draws to a close, artists from across Northeast Ohio are working hard to put the finishing touches on pieces to submit to an exhibition now nearly 50 years running.
“The Fairmount Art Exhibition — we are in our 48th year and it’s a wonderful community arts exhibition that brings together artists from various disciplines, both people who are professional practicing artists, as well as people who maybe create art at their home, maybe they haven’t shown as much and yet, they’re still creating amazing works of art,” Fairmount Center for the Arts Executive Director Elizabeth Bolander said.
The exhibition, running Aug. 6-23, places Fairmount in a different light, Bolander added.
“We turn all of our dance studios that for 11 months of the year are filled with kids and adults doing
dance and theater and music activities, and we turn them into this beautiful gallery space,” she said.
Around 140 art pieces were accepted last year out of around 400 submissions, Bolander said. Submissions for the exhibition this year are being accepted July 27 and July 29, and are being juried on July 30.
“A juried show means that people bring their artworks in and then they go through this process where, for us, we have three jurors and they change every single year, who those people are,” she explained. “They meet and they look at every single artwork and decide whether it has the sort of artistic merit, or certain criteria that they’re looking for to be of a certain caliber to be included in the show.”
While the jurors vary each year, they will generally look at a piece’s technical merit — the emotions or reactions it may promote — as well

County Quick to Solve CrowdStrike IT Failure
Pushes for Class Action Suit to Recover Tax Dollars
By Amy PAtterson Amy@kArlovecmediA.com
An international internet outage took out computers all over the world last week, causing delays and shutdowns across the airline industry, hospitals and crucial 9-1-1 phone systems.
The outage, caused by a faulty update pushed by cybersecurity company CrowdStrike, also hit Geauga County.
The county first became aware of the issue shortly after midnight July 19, Geauga County Auditor Chuck Walder told Geauga County Commissioners at their July 23 meeting.
“The early warning here in the county was, within approximately an hour or so, the sheriff detected two of his servers having communication issues,” he said.
Sheriff Scott Hildenbrand lost 9-1-1 service and any other server-based operations, said Walder, who also heads the county IT department under the Automatic Data Processing board.
Hildenbrand made the issue known immediately to Chief Deputy Administrator Frank Antenucci.
“Actually, he sent a cruiser, I think, to Frank's house,” Walder said.
County IT staff immediately tried to access their servers remotely, but realized that was not going to solve the problem, he said.
As news reports poured in, it became clear the problem was global and the solution would not be an easy one.
The fix required direct access to each computer and could not be managed remotely, Walder said.
All IT staff were summoned
to begin to work on the issue and the county’s servers were up and running by around 6 a.m., although individual workstations took a little longer.
“Workstations, which we have 1,200 of, had to be gone to station-by-station and the same process had been gone through,” he said. “Virtually, we had every student, we had everybody who had two good hands and could type, basically, going in and doing this (fix).”
Walder said staff prioritized safety forces and triaged repairs through the rest of the day.
“The triage plan that we have in place worked like clockwork,” he said.
“That's the good news. The bad news is we had to use our triage plan.”
Walder said while he had read estimates the outage affected about 8.5 million users worldwide — and Geauga County is a “small piece of
the pie” in terms of those numbers — he and county Prosecutor Jim Flaiz are planning to ask Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost about the possibility of joining a class action suit against CrowdStrike to recover the cost of downtime caused by the incident, as well as the labor costs involved in the fix.
“It cost us roughly $340,000 for that upset,” he said. “That does not include labor. That is just what our budget burned in that window of time that we were unproductive.”
Walder said he believes that amount — when combined with the cost of repairs required in all 88 county governments and other entities that use CrowdStrike across Ohio — will cause Yost to take notice and hopefully take action.
He also gave the county credit for moving multiple servers into the

Online obituary and guestbook www.DeJohnCares.com
Peter Van Rogers
ers, 80, passed away peacefully Sunday af ternoon, July 14, 2024, at his home in Russell Township.
he was the son of Van R. Rogers and Ruth Rogers.
Peter graduated from Case Western Reserve University with a B.S. in engineering and a graduate degree in business. He went on to have a successful career in industrial automa tion sales.
Paul and Robert (Bob), and daughter-in-law, Kelly, he is survived by his daughter, Cindy McCain, and son-in-law, Isaac, of Columbus, and grandchildren, Cassia, Benjamin, Ruth, Samuel, Zoe and Max.
Peter was a long-time member of the Cha grin Falls Christian Science Church, served as an assistant scoutmaster in the Boy Scouts Troop 193 in Russell and was a member of the Chagrin Falls JCs.
As a real estate developer in Russell Township, Peter enjoyed renovating houses and used his engineering skills to remodel and improve them. He purchased older houses and moved them to lots he purchased in Russell Township. One such house was a historical building he saved from demolition known as the Tambling House, where President James A. Garfield lived for a few years. Peter was a dedicated husband to Eileen and a well adored and generous father to his children.
A celebration of Peter’s life and funeral service will be held on Saturday, Aug. 3, 2024, at Chesterland Baptist Church, 12670 Chillicothe Road, Chester Township. All are welcome.
Calling hours are from 10 a.m. to 12 noon, and service shortly after with lunch reception following.
He will be laid to rest at the Russell Township Riverside Cemetery after the lunch reception.
The family would appreciate flowers, natural outdoor decorations and kind notes that can be sent to Chesterland Baptist Church for all to enjoy at the reception.
Memories and condolences can be shared with the family at www.gattozziandson.com

as how it might work within the wider context of the show, she said.
This year’s lineup of jurors include encaustic wax painting specialist and photography major Dawn Tekler, metalsmith and educator Rachel Suzanne Smith and museum curator and wood and paper artist Michaelle Marschall.
With the wide range of artforms accepted by the exhibition, the organization looks to appoint jurors with varied backgrounds, Bolander said.
The exhibition features six categories — painting, fiber, photography, graphics, 3-D and watercolor. Submissions can vary from pottery to quilts to drawings made on an iPad. Categories encapsulate a wide definition of each medium.
“If you bring it, we will find a category for it,” Bolander said.
Though the community has always embraced the event, Bolander has seen an uptick in submissions in recent years.
“After the pandemic, when I began at Fairmount, we actually saw people who were like, ‘Oh I started doing this artwork during the pandemic and I really found my passion,’ and they were just bringing artwork that had never really been exposed to the general public and it was just really amazing to see the things people were making,” she recalled. “You know, (pieces) our neighbors are making behind closed doors in their homes.”
The fact the exhibition accepts widely from across Northeast Ohio, as well as from artists in various points across their careers, help to cultivate the exhibition into the experience it is today, Bolander said.
“This is one of my favorite parts of the entry days, when someone comes in and they’re maybe a little timid and we welcome them in and we ask them about their artwork, and they say, ‘Well, I’ve never submitted to a show before, but I wanted to try’ and they turn it around and we’re all just blown away by what we’re seeing,” Bolander said.
She advised the public to come in expecting surprises.
“Because we pull so many different media, you’re not going to see all landscapes or all portraits. It’s a really nice mix of different things,” she said. “There’s going to be, I think, things that you probably never expected someone would be able to do with a medium, as well as maybe things that you would expect to see in an art show.”
The variety makes this a great art show
for both families and people who think art shows might not be for them, Bolander said.
Events related to the exhibition, such as Fridays at Fairmount Aug. 9 and 16, will feature beer, wine and live music. There will also be a relaxation workshop involving yoga surrounded by art Aug. 17, Bolander said.
The closing reception Aug. 23 will feature live piano music, refreshments and an awards ceremony. Last year saw 150 in attendance. Each category will have a first and second place winner and there is also a best of show, which can come from any category.
Artists may also receive awards and prizes, totalling up to $2,800 across all awards.
Now being its 48th year, the exhibition features artists who grew up attending it.
“The first year I was there, a woodworking artist had come in with really an incredible piece,” Bolander recalled. “He and I got to talking and he said he remembers coming to the Fairmount Arts Exhibition when he was young with his family, and that he has strong memories of coming and seeing his dad’s artwork that was also in the show.”
While guidelines for art submissions can be found on the Fairmount website, Bolander advised artists to be aware of hanging and sizing rules.
