Girl Scouts Sew Masks for Project Award By Cassandra Shofar cassandra@geaugamapleleaf.com
SUBMITTED
Carly Irvin, a seventh-grader at West Geauga Middle School, cuts wire for protective facemasks that will be distributed to UH-Geauga Medical Center healthcare workers as they work amid the novel coronavirus pandemic.
West Geauga Middle School students Carly Irvin and Julianne Speyer saw a need for facemasks to protect health care workers against COVID-19 and decided to hit two birds with one stone. Candice Irvin, of Russell Township, said her daughter’s silver award project for Girl Scout Troop 77192 involves making the fabric masks. “Her adult project leader, Jennifer Speyer, is spear heading this and has designed her own pattern to give more security to these fabric masks,” Irvin said. “Jen is working with University Hospitals to dispense (them). JoAnn Fabrics is also pitching in with fabric. Her daughter, Julianne Speyer, and mine, Carly Irvin, are working to fulfill this need with a goal of 100,000 masks.” Both Julianne and Carly, seventh-graders at West Geauga Middle School, are working on making masks for University Hospitals, Speyer, of Russell Township, confirmed.
“Two of my sisters and my sister-in-law in NY/NJ are all sick with Covid-19,” she said. “One of them is Julianne’s godmother. Since we can’t be there to help them, Julianne wanted to do something in their honor since two are nurses. Carly’s mother is also a nurse. They decided to work on this project to help the healthcare workers in our community. Because they are cadets, they have to work for at least 50 hours on this project in order to earn their silver award.” Speyer said a dear friend of hers, Erin Slay, is a nurse executive at UH. “She approached me several weeks ago and asked me to help make masks. I experimented with fabrics and polypropylene liners,” Speyer said. “I talked with the girls about getting supplies donated and how to organize the project. Then Erin came back with the news that JoAnn Fabrics was donating the supplies for 100,000 facemasks. In addition, the hospital wanted to use See Masks • Page 5
West Geauga BOE Conducts First Virtual Meeting By Diane Ryder editor@geaugamapleleaf.com West Geauga Schools Superintendent Richard Markwardt called it “the new normal,” as the West Geauga Schools Board of Education held their first virtual meeting online March 30. Using the virtual meeting software Zoom, the five members of the board met with Markwardt, Treasurer Karen Penler and Sean Whalen, director of technology for the district. The meeting, with each participant in separate locations, was made possible in light of the Ohio Board of Health officials’ mandates for people to remain in their
homes. As a result, the Ohio Legislature passed of House Bill 197 last week. “This is exactly what the new law allows,” board President William Beers said as he opened the meeting. The public was able to access the meeting by connecting to Zoom and entering a password provided by the school district. Spectators, watching from their own devices, were unable to speak during the meeting, but could indicate whether they wanted to make comments during the public portion of the meeting. Whalen said no one from the See Meeting • Page 6

We Are Smiling Behind Our Masks Last Friday Barb and I went to the grocery store. It was probably one of the strangest experiences I’ve ever had. We put on our masks before we went into the store. I put on gloves, thinking to myself this is really dumb. People will really think I look silly. I was wrong, everyone inside the store was wearing a mask and most had gloves. Yet as nervous and anxious as people were, they managed to be friendly to each other. Barbara spoke to another person at that 6-foot social distance and said through her mask, “I’m sorry you can’t see me smiling.” The other person replied, “That’s all right, I can see it in your eyes.” Now it’s time for our smiles to translate into Geauga generosity. In the last two weeks thousands of Geauga County residents have lost their jobs. Fortunately, there are many well established public and private organizations and agencies that can help. Those organizations and agencies will also need our help. These are people we know. These are long standing reputable organizations that we know and trust. The Geauga Hunger Task Force is an example. In the coming days they will have an unprecedented need. Many who have lost their jobs will need food assistance to help weather this storm. A cash contribution to Geauga Hunger Task Force provides an opportunity for them to purchase large wholesale quantities allowing them to buy needed items. Also, in the coming weeks there will be an increased need for clothing, housing assistance and health care. With our help the various county agencies and organizations along with our help will be able to meet the need. When the pandemic is over I know we will be able to look back with satisfaction on the way we acted toward others in our Geauga community. Finally, remember we are smiling behind our masks. How about you?
Donations to the Geauga Hunger Task Force can be made at: https://www.geaugahungertaskforce.org or by sending a check to: Geauga Hunger Task Force 209 Center St. #H Chardon, Ohio 44024

from page 1 the pattern provided by Pins and Needles. Now we needed to mobilize and get to work.” The initial goal was to make 10,000 masks. However, once JoAnn Fabrics got on board, it rose to 100,000, Speyer explained. “And we hope to surpass that and get to 1,000,000 masks,” she said. “There is such a dire need. The masks are designed with a pouch that can house tissues, tampons, diapers — anything that can be used as an air filter, but can easily be replaced as it becomes wet. They also contain a piece of wire along the bridge of the nose for a custom fit. “Since elastic is in short supply, they will be attached to the face with ribbon,” Speyer added. “It is not an N95 mask, but it will offer a layer of protection for our healthcare workers. It is machine-washable and follows the accepted guidelines of the (Centers for Disease Control).” Speyer said the girls have “gotten to work,” cutting out patterns, wire and ribbon. “They assemble kits with directions for additional volunteers to sew,” she said. “They also spend a lot of time sewing the masks on sewing machines. They have reached out to family and friends asking for volunteers to help cut and sew. This happens after homeschooling is complete as they work on the project every day.” Speyer said Julianne and Carly are part of a large team of volunteers working toward the 100,000-mask goal over the next two weeks. “To date, 3,800 masks have been complete,” she said April 2. “We are going strong.” Speyer said she has reached out to all the cutters and sewers with whom she’s worked over 13 years of making costumes in the West

Geauga school district. “The girls have helped assemble the kits with materials. I work at Progressive. My job is considered essential, so I go into the office two days a week and work from home three days a week,” Speyer explained. “On the two days I’m out of the house, I make the rounds dropping off supplies in garages or baskets by front doors and picking up completed projects. The masks will all be laundered before they are distributed.” She said between three other daughters and one son helping to cut and sew, as well as Carly’s parents and grandparents helping, the project has grown quickly. “Julianne’s younger sister, Charlotte, is also a Girl Scout in Troop 70823. Several girls in Troops 77192 and 70823 are helping cut and sew along with their moms — who worked with me on the costume committee from Westwood Elementary School,” Speyer said. “These people have volunteered in so many ways for years. This is just another example of how when they are asked to help, they always say yes.”

public signed up to make any comments. A graphic of a waving American flag appeared on spectators’ screens, as Beers led the Pledge of Allegiance. “Thank you for your patience during this difficult time,” Beers said. He praised the administration, technology staff and teachers for working together to keep the district running as smoothly as possible during an unprecedented situation with the COVID-19 pandemic. During the past month, as the virus spread and Gov. Mike DeWine ordered the schools to be closed temporarily, West Geauga and Newbury Schools officials were working on plans to transfer Newbury into the district. “Both districts will send newsletters out soon,” Markwardt said. “Our open houses were cancelled, so we are working on setting up video tours so the Newbury students will see the buildings.” An army of volunteers helped distribute lunches to the West Geauga students who receive free or reduced lunches, the superintendent said. “This is truly a community effort,” Markwardt added. The main focus of school officials, including teachers and administrators, has been to switch to online instruction and keep the students learning and progressing, he told the board. “We’ve distributed Chromebooks to everyone who needed one and arranged for hot spots so they could connect,” Markwardt said, adding Newbury has done the same. Markwardt said the teachers are maintain-
ing regular schedules with the help of Google Classroom and Zoom, and use a variety of electronic media to keep in touch with each other, administrators, parents and students. “We use so many different mechanisms,” he explained. It is important the students maintain a schedule and continue learning as usual, he said. “This is not a time for review. We have a quarter of the year left, with new material to be learned, assessments and evaluations — all part and process school,” Markwardt assured the board. “Although online learning is not a substitute for having a teacher present in the room, but it can still be inspiring, with real learning, not just rehashing. Principals are involved with the teachers on a daily basis, helping with technology if needed. “We wouldn’t have chosen this, but we’re going to become adept at it,” he concluded. “It’s like studying in a foreign country, with another language and culture that you have to become immersed in. By working together, we’ll become, when this is all over, a community that is much more tech savvy.” Beers added the district is not closed; it is just changing formats. “Learning must go on so we all can move on to the next level,” he said. “This is our new normal now for the rest of the year or at least until May 1,” Markwardt added.
