Rest Easy and Sleep Well, The Toys Are Delivered By Police Chief Mark Purchase
KRISTIN LEFEBER/KMG
Ryan McGinnis, 17, of Chester Township, stands with one of the 15 tree identification signs he designed and created for West Geauga Commons in Russell Township to complete his Eagle Scout project.
Eagle Scout Project Spruces Up West Geauga Commons By Kristin LeFeber editor@geaugamapleleaf.com Taking a stroll along the Chagrin River at West Geauga Commons park in Russell Township is now more edifying thanks to Ryan McGinnis’ Boy Scout project. The 17-year-old from Chester Township helped design and install 15 brand new tree identification signs, which puts McGinnis on the path to earning the prestigious rank of Eagle Scout. McGinnis, who has been in scouts since first grade, is a member of Troop 193 out of Russell Township. He devised the idea for See Project • Page 5
It was Saturday, at approximately 4:30 p.m., and we had just finished delivering all of the toys from our 11th annual “Operation Santa Sleigh” to Geauga County Job & Family Services. I found myself alone, driving the box truck (Santa’s Sleigh) back to Chester Township. This time, the truck was empty and the overwhelming reality that this was my final toy drive as your police chief was setting in. I was quickly becoming overwhelmed with thoughts of the previous toy drives, along with sadness and fulfillment. You see, this was never really expected to be this big of an event. When I approached Administrative Assistant Lisa Braemer with this idea 11 years ago, my vision was to collect enough toys to simply “Stuff a Cruiser.” Lisa, whom many of you know from my office, was instrumental in leading me and this event to be much larger than I could have ever hoped for, and I could not have done any of this without her. The Toy Drive through her vision became more of an experience and it immediately became a very real Toy Drive! I recalled our first visit to Job & Family Services and, upon our arrival, there were four of us on site to unload all of the toys. As I opened the trailer doors, and explained to their staff what exactly our residents had done for the children of Geauga County — and that they did it in less than four hours — they immediately began to cry. As I continued my drive back, I reflected on my friends

that stepped up to help me make this event possible, and the list is long: Tom and Ron Basista, of West Geauga Plaza, The Patterson Family; The Rogish Family; Kathy Fadorsen of Coffee Works; John Karlovec, of Karlovec Media Group and the Chesterland News; ICASI; Giant Eagle; Drug Mart; CCM Chesterland; Bada Bing Pizza; Frank and Terri Arko, of Rise and Dine Cafe; John Powers, of McDonald’s . . . and I could go on and on. As I continued, I reflected on being so incredibly grateful to a group of people who are all my friends and who just never seem to promote themselves enough. You see, this group of people just volunteer to help people; they raise money through pancake breakfasts and Christmas tree sales, and then give it away to help various causes and to simply help people. Their generosity amounted to an
incredible contribution of $4,000 being spent on toys this year, and I call all of them my friends, the members of the Kiwanis Club of West Geauga. The list continues further to Denny Farmer and the members of the Chesterland Lions Club. Not only have these guys showed up every single year, but they will always be remembered by me forever, as they built Safety Town for me. There is no way to mention everyone who has made this day so very important for me, all the families, friends and businesses are just way too many, and I could tell you story after story about the incredible acts of generosity. Stories that will bring you to tears, residents bringing toys that they can’t afford to buy and I know them, but when questioned they simply tell me, “You don’t See Toys • Page 5

I will always remember and appreciate you. Finally, I have saved the best for last — my staff. There is simply not enough space in the paper to talk about them appropriately. These are incredibly good men and women, and our police department is a better place because of them. Each year, I ask my staff and their families to participate in the toy drive. They are not paid for their participation; they, like myself, understand the greater good and the importance of giving back. I am constantly reminded and rewarded every year, as I stand back during the toy drive and observe all of them at the event, bringing in toys themselves, helping however possible and greeting and hugging residents

the project. “He approached us,” said Greg Poe, the president of the board of directors of the park. “We had some old signs that were deteriorating and he noticed them.” McGinnis not only replaced those signs, but added many more. “I wanted to do something for them (the Commons). I’ve run on the trails there so many times. I’ve played soccer there so many times,” he said. “I wanted to see how I could combine my love of science and take that into

whom they have come to know and help along the way. In the end, law enforcement isn’t usually considered a good news business. When you think about it, we are called in times of need, when help is needed or when danger exists. I know that you can all understand and appreciate when I tell you that these are good people who have willingly accepted the challenges of a very dangerous profession. But they are compassionate, understanding and caring individuals, and I could not be any prouder of them. I am grateful to all of you, for everything. Chester Township is a great community, with even better people and on behalf of my entire department, Geauga County Job & Family Services and the children of Geauga County, I wish you a very happy and safe holiday season. Rest easy and sleep well Chester Township, the toys have all been delivered and you have made certain that every child in our county has a Christmas morning. a Scout project. I wanted to do something that would give back to the community in a unique way.” Initially, McGinnis proposed installing five new signs. The park board was immediately receptive to the idea and countered that McGinnis might create 15. When the park offered to pay for everything that would be needed to complete the larger project, it was a done deal. “The hardest part was figuring out what way to go — which company to go with — what I wanted the signs to look like,” McGinnis said. With the assistance of a biology professor friend, McGinnis walked the trail at the park in order to choose which trees he wanted to identify.

Drainage Swales: A Homeowner’s Responsibility Do you own property with a drainage swale on the premises? A drainage swale is an open channel that collects water from hard surfaces and allows it to filter into the ground, reducing the amount of runoff leaving the road or property. During rainstorms, swales direct extra runoff to other storm water facilities or the storm drain system. According to the Ohio Revised Code, it is the responsibility of homeowners to maintain the drainage swales throughout their property, once the water leaves the right of way. An unmaintained swale can cause the following problems: rainwater can pool on the surface and encourage a breeding ground for insects; the swale can stop filtering rainwater, allowing pollutants to enter local streams; and blockages can occur, causing local flooding. The following actions can be taken to ensure that your drainage swales are properly maintained: • Inspect your swale after storms to make sure that rainwater has drained. • Remove sediment and debris from in and around the swale. • Remove weeds, invasive plants, trash, and any lawn debris. • Remove leaves in the fall, as they can block the flow of water With proper drainage swale maintenance, problems such as standing water, local flooding, drainage issues on abutting properties and road damage can be avoided. Chester Township Road Department He picked leaves from the trees in the spring when they were fresh, bright and best for photographing. Then he set up a little “photo booth” for the leaves to capture their images for the signs. With help from his project coach, a professional web and graphic designer, McGinnis designed the signs, creating a standardized layout for them and choosing fonts that were crisp and eye-catching. He researched all of the information about each species of tree to include on the signs. “I learned a lot of skills that will help me in the work world, whatever I do,” said McGinnis, who is a senior at West Geauga High School. He plans to attend college in the fall
and right now, his first choice is Colorado School of Mines where he would likely study materials and metallurgical engineering. “But the best part of the experience was turning in the paperwork,” McGinnis said. “I am so excited to have my Eagle Scout court of honor and thank my mom and dad and everyone else who helped me because they all did a lot.” McGinnis’ tree identification signs can be seen at West Geauga Commons on state Route 306. Amenities include: a large pavilion, a three-quarter mile walking trail along the river, three soccer fields, a baseball field, sand volleyball and basketball courts and a sand playground with swings.

Robert D. Peltz Sr.
CHESTER TWP. – Robert “Bob” D. Peltz Sr., age 76, of Chester Township, passed away peacefully, yet unexpectedly, on Nov. 11, 2021. He was born in Cleveland, on May 28, 1945, son of the late Edward and Jeanette Peltz. He was a loving husband, father, grandfather and friend. He enjoyed being outdoors, organizing his woods, bowling, golf and sharing his keen sense of humor to create long-lasting friendships. Bob is survived by his wife of 54 years, Bernice Peltz (nee Kosley); children Bobby Jr., Billy and wife Kris; grandchildren, Ashley, Billy Jr., Celina, Alyssa and Rachel Cerullo; sister, Connie Archbold; and numerous nieces and nephews. He is preceded in death by his parents; and beloved son Brian. His career began at Ohio Bell, which resulted in many legendary stories, until starting an auto repair business, Rayco, in the late 1970s. After a few years, he found his niche establishing Clover Car Center and concentrating his services as an expert in auto upholstery. He was charismatic and instantly loved by those who knew him. His legacy of perseverance and strong work ethic shine through his grandchildren, and they will carry out the hopes and dreams he had for them. The family will host a celebration of life at a later date. Notices should be sent in writing by the funeral directors and memorial societies to: Geauga County Maple Leaf, P.O.

Obituaries Flora S. Romonto
Flora S. Romonto (nee Cassese) passed away on Dec. 9, 2021. She was born in Little Italy, in Cleveland, on May 28, 1925. Flora is survived by her daughters, Carol Schaper (John), Donna Black (Jim); daughter-in-law, Susan Romonto; five grandchildren; four great-grandchildren; sister-in-law Mary Ellen Cassese; sister-in-law Jeannette Virant (husband Bill); and many nieces, nephews and close friends. Her family remembers her as a funny, sweet, caring and giving Italian matriarch. She was preceded in death by her loving husband of 71 years, Domenic (Don); parents, John and Ersilia (nee Sorrentini) Cassese; son, Frank Romonto; brothers, Andrew, John (wife Elaine, also deceased), Dominic (wife Jennie, also deceased); sisters, Mary Petrello (husband Nick, also deceased), Genevieve DiRocco (husband Reggie, also deceased); and sister-in-law Marie Wegas (husband Joe, also deceased). Flora had fond memories growing up in Little Italy and had several lifelong friends from “the neighborhood.” She was proud of her Italian heritage and traveled to Italy on multiple occasions to tour and visit relatives. She loved music and her cousin, Anita, taught her how to play the piano. She continued to take lessons and began playing the organ at Holy Rosary Church in the heart of Little Italy. After high school, Flora attended Flora Stone Mather, a women’s college at the time which is now associated with Case Western Reserve. She graduated with a BA degree in music and continued giving piano lessons and playing the organ at church into her 90th year. After moving to Maplewood at Chardon in March of 2021, she used her musical talents to entertain the residents and staff. In 1948, Flora met her husband Don at a wedding. At the encouragement of his father, Don gave Flora and her mother a ride home. What a smart move; they were married shortly after on Nov. 5 , 1949, which was the beginning of a 71-year love affair. After residing near Little Italy for a few years, the pioneers moved to a newly built home on 9 acres in Chesterland. They started out on a cold and snowy day in January of 1956 and lived in this home until March of 2021. Family was important to Flora and Don, and they hosted many family picnics, holiday parties and birthday celebrations at the Romonto Hideaway. She loved to bake and cook. Holidays and birthdays will never be the
same without her. Flora was active in the community and church. She was a founding member of St. Anselm Church and participated in the choir. She was a member of the Aquilegia Garden Club and enjoyed her friendships with many of the members. Most of the flowers may have been grown by Don, but the ribbons from The Great Geauga County Fair definitely belonged to Flora. She enjoyed outdoor wildlife and bird watching was a passion for Flora. Her home with floor to ceiling windows was perfect for watching birds coming to land on the many handmade bird feeders crafted by her husband. Flora lived a full life and touched the hearts of many. Her vibrant personality will be missed dearly, but never forgotten. Mass of Christian Burial was held Dec. 15, 2021, at St. Anselm Catholic Church, 12969 Chillicothe Road, Chesterland. Interment followed at Lake View Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, please make a contribution in Flora’s name to St. Anselm Catholic Church in Chesterland.
