City Nears Wolfe Ouster
Potter Looks Back on 2021, Predicts Positive Year Ahead LAND KIR TCity Kirtland
At the Jan. 5 Council meeting, Mayor Kevin Potter projected a shiny new year as he reflected on the last one. “Looking back on 2021, I’d say we had a pretty successful year,” he said. “This year was kind of a ‘Let’s get our feet wet.’” He noted the successes of last year, including the summer outdoor concert series in partnership with Kirtland Library, the autumn safety forces day and the Christmas tree lighting. “We’ll be planning on building on that this year as we go forward,” See Potter • Page 5

Voters in the City of Kirtland’s Ward 1 are one step closer to deciding the fate of embattled Councilwoman Kelly Wolfe following city council’s passage of legislation fixing the date for holding her recall election. Council members Rob Fenstermaker, Scott Haymer, Jeff Ruple, Matt Schulz, Joe Smolic and Eric Ziegler unanimously voted without discussion to approve Ordinance No. 22-O-3 at their Jan. 5 meeting. Wolfe did not attend the meeting. At council’s Dec. 20 meeting, Eagle Road resident Frank Lyon submitted to Clerk Denise Roelle recall petitions 294 Ward 1 registered voters had signed to support Wolfe’s removal from council. During the investigation of former Kirtland Police Chief Lance Nosse, it was learned Wolfe was involved personally with Nosse. “All I ask is that you do the right thing for the city,” Lyon told council members. Roelle, with assistance from Law Director Matthew Lallo, has delivered copies to Wolfe in many formats, with “delivery receipts” attached. A copy also was left in her mailbox at City Hall. “(Wolfe has) been appropriately delivered,” said Lallo.
While some say “money is the root of all evil,” Grace Himmelright disagrees. “The knowledge of money and finances prevents people from being made a victim (or sucker) by people who do not have good intentions,” said Himmelright, financial literacy educator who recently opened the HowMoneyWorks Learning Center at 9328 Chillicothe Road in Kirtland. “Sadly, even well-intentioned people who lack knowledge can unknowingly spread misinformation with the result being loss of security, happiness and even good health
from stress and insecurity related to financial illiteracy.” She chose Kirtland to set up shop for a few reasons. “It is a lovely area of Northeast Ohio. (It) certainly lives up to its motto – City of Faith and Beauty,” she said. “It’s close to highway access and our How Money Works Learning Center is easy to find.” Himmelright’s interest in financial education was sparked in 2004 when and she and her husband were clients of HowMoneyWorks, a financial service based on the book “HowMoneyWorks” by Tom Mathews and Steven Siebold.

Eagle Road resident Thomas J. Booth Jr. visited the Dec. 20 Kirtland City Council meeting to encourage council to remove Councilperson Kelly Wolfe from its number.
“The clerk of council first had to determine whether there were sufficient, valid signatures on the petitions. She then had to certify those results to both council and Mrs. Wolfe. We have proof that the service was delivered to Mrs. Wolfe on Dec. 28. The charter requires that she be given five days to resign her position. If she doesn’t resign, then council is required to fix a day for the election between 60 and 75 days from delivery of that service to Mrs. Wolfe. The election will be held March 8, which is within that window.” Reading from the city charter, Ruple said, “Any vacancy in the council shall be filled by a majori-
ty vote of the remaining members of council for the unexpired term. If the vacancy is not filled within thirty (30) days after it shall have occurred, the mayor shall fill it by appointment. A vacancy for ward council member must be filled by a person residing in the ward where the vacancy exists.” At last month’s council meeting, Eagle Road resident Thomas J. Booth Jr. addressed the community to reemphasize his wish, originally expressed to council on Oct. 4, that council remove Wolfe from its number. “As a resident of Ward 1 in the City of Kirtland, I hereby call for See Council • Page 5

Hornets Nest
BILL FUGATE/KMG
Kirtland’s Gino Blasini, center, had a key performance in the Hornets 55-30 loss to Grand Valley. With the Hornets missing eight of its 10 varsity players, Blasini, a sophomore, scored seven points with three steals and two blocked shots.
Missing Players to Blame For Early Losses By Mason Cole sports@geaugamapleleaf.com Kirtland Hornets boys basketball has had a tough time getting its feet wet at the beginning of its 2021-22 season. Due to Covid-related issues, the team played only three games in December and was significantly shorthanded as it entered the new year with a 1-2 record. Having graduated key players over the summer, the Hornets featured multiple new starters and key players in their rotation when their season began Dec. 17 with a strong 71-48 win over the Cardinal Huskies. Kirtland showcased its potential as junior Owen Mueller scored 20 points and senior Ben Beres scored 14. But difficulties struck the Hornets before they could get into much of a groove. Kirtland faced multiple game cancellations due to Covid cases and found itself limping into its third game of the season on the road against the Grand Valley Mustangs, a result of virus complications. The Hornets had only played two games before facing a Grand Valley team that had played nine. To make matters worse, Kirtland was missing eight of its 10 varsity players, including its entire starting five. Forced to play many junior varsity players, the Hornets lost to the Mustangs 55-30, and coach Shawn McGregor was blunt about the situation after the game. “It’s just a lot of young guys that got forced into action,” McGregor said. “ We competed pretty well on Tuesday; today we just came out flat, but it is what it is.” Kirtland came out slow as Grand Valley finished the first quarter with a 17-6 lead. By halftime, the Hornets were trailing the Mustangs 35-14. Kirtland senior Victor Alfieri thought his team could have started the game better. “We didn’t really come prepared in the first half,” Alfieri said. “We didn’t really run
our plays. In the second half we got control of ourselves and stopped them from scoring.” One of the Hornets players who saw an increased role against Grand Valley was Gino Blasini. Blasini, a sophomore, was a key offensive player for the Hornets as he scored seven points, and he was a menace to the Mustangs defensively as he finished with three steals and two blocked shots. The Hornets played aggressive defense against Grand Valley. Battled for jump-balls and extra possessions when guarding the opposing Mustangs, Blasini believes that hustle comes naturally to his team. “We all love to hustle and play hard,” he said. Considering the missing varsity players, McGregor thought Blasini did a good job fitting into a more pronounced role. “I thought Gino had a really nice game,” McGregor said. “At halftime, we challenged the kids to play with a little bit more emphasis on playing hard. Don’t worry about missing shots or turning the ball over, but move on to the next play and play hard. I thought Gino did a really good job in the second half of doing that.” Because of their lack of depth and experience in this game, aggressive play was the only thing that the Hornets had to fall back on. Ultimately, though, it proved too much for Kirtland to overcome. Moving forward, the first step to finding success will be getting varsity Hornets healthy and ready to play. Meanwhile, McGregor hopes the game against Grand Valley was a learning experience for younger players. “We had a lot of young guys there,” McGregor said. “If they can use that as a lesson, you’ve got to be prepared when you’re making a road trip. You’ve got to prepare yourself on the bus, you’ve got to be ready to go. If we used it as a learning tool, then it’s a good game for us.”

the immediate resignation of Councilmember Kelly Wolfe for alleged violations of her oath of office, misconduct, misfeasance, malfeasance, and moral turpitude,” Booth told council, reading from his original statement. “Short of such action, I call on the rest of council to censure or enact Article One, Section Five, of the Kirtland, Ohio Code of Ordinances, for the removal of Councilmember Kelly Wolfe.” He added, “Since the time that I initially read this and read it into the record, there has been absolutely no movement on Councilmember Wolfe to resign, nor did council to actually act.” Booth then read several of Wolfe’s rebuttal comments for purposes of inclusion in the public record: • “I just wanted to let all of you know that I have no plans at this time to resign, as I have done nothing wrong. I have broken no laws or violated any ethics despite what you think.” • “Faith and beauty. But what I see and feel is nothing but hatred and ugliness.” • “I hope any and all of you who have been harassing me about resigning have

“In just a few weeks, Chief McCallister is really taking this job head-on and nailing down the policies and procedures side of things. I think he’s assimilating very well with the department,” Potter said. “We also brought in a new economic development coordinator with Eddy Eckart. Eddy’s been working really hard. Eddy will be here at the next meeting giving kind of a recap of what
nothing to hide in your personal lives that might be plastered all over social media after various records requests from the Kirtland Police Department and other communities around us have been served.” Booth said Wolfe is probably correct when she said she has not violated any laws. “Any ethical code of moral turpitude, I would say absolutely yes,” he added. Booth also said he took exception to Wolfe invoking the city’s motto as some sort of an excuse for actions and criticizing Mayor Kevin Potter’s handling of the matter. “I find that . . . disgusting,” he said. “And someone from this community that wants to try to use this as a city of faith and beauty to deflect something like that? That is not something that reflects what this community is, or at least should be, about,” he added. “I hope that since it is obvious that Councilperson Wolfe is not going to do the appropriate thing and step down, that the next and only appropriate thing is for council as a body to do your job and remove her from council, which you have the right to do,” he said. “Do not wait and pass the buck into putting this up for a vote from the community. And I say that in the most serious of requests and tones. Do your job and remove her, because she has decided not to remove herself.”
he’s been up to lately.” Eckart serves Kirtland through North Shore Associates and Potter said he will be present at the combined Kirtland City Council, Planning and Zoning Commission, and Board of Zoning Appeals meeting that will take place immediately after the Jan. 19 council meeting. “Eddy and I have been meeting with folks, individually and together,” said Potter. “Not only different organizations and people here in the county who are influential, but also some potential future development here in the city, business opportunities. So, Eddy will update on that in a couple weeks in our meeting.” The mayor said the city has been engaging more with Holden Arboretum and Lake Metroparks than it ever has before. “(Lake Metroparks Executive Director) Paul Palagyi has been a tremendous partner,” Potter said. “Paul and I have talked pretty regularly and I think there’s a lot that we can do with the Metroparks going forward.” He noted Kirtland Senior Center’s membership and services continue to increase and expand. “(Senior Center Director) Teresa (Szary) has been very receptive and open to the ideas of the members of the senior center,” Potter said. “So, the senior center’s thriving and certainly the senior board up there is very active and influential with the month-to-month, week-to-week operations.” Three new pickleball courts are behind the community center, the mayor said. “Thanks to everybody for their help in (establishing pickleball courts),” said Potter,

adding he anticipated they will benefit many age groups. “Our seniors — they’re really excited,” Potter said. “(And) I get a lot of other people in the community talking about how excited they are to play pickleball in the coming years.” It is also budget season for city officials, the mayor said. “We are going to be expecting a healthier general fund carryover even more so than last year,” he said. “Obviously, we have opportunities here, but there are still challenges.” He noted the issue of financing road repair and maintenance is a perpetual issue. “How do we pay for our roads going forward, continue to provide street services for our residents?” Potter asked rhetorically. “That’s going to be obviously a big conversation over the next six, eight, 12 weeks.” He had praise for new Zoning Inspector Rick Loconti. “I think Rick, in just a couple short months, is proving himself quite quickly to be who we thought he was,” said Potter. “Not only professional, not only understanding of code, but how to speak to residents and business owners in a way that brings compliance.” He also expressed appreciation for council member Scott Haymer. “Thanks for ‘picking up the ball’ and carrying it forward in terms of vetting the idea of what we can do to expand municipal broadband here in the city, fiber optics,” Potter said. “That conversation obviously is going to continue, but I definitely appreciate your willingness to pick that up and continue carrying it forward.”

from page 1 “The book is intended to be a pleasant, non-technical introduction to the 7-money milestones necessary for a solid financial plan,” she said. “I knew this was a crusade that I could rally behind. Even with multiple college degrees in business — I was never taught the financial fundamentals of how money works.” Himmelright was one of several professionals who provided feedback and review of the “HowMoneyWorks” book as it was written and re-written, she said. “Tom Mathews and I have been in business together since 2004,” she said. “He is both a mentor and personal friend. I have attended many of Steve Siebold’s trainings prior to him joining the team. Both gentlemen are wonderful business partners to us. We enjoy trips to Atlanta to spend time together in person. I would say we fly together in close formation, and look forward to the future leading and teaching others.” HowMoneyWorks provides extensive training, both in-person and via on demand video content to financial educators, Himmelright said, adding everyone is encouraged to be fully licensed in investments and insurance. The mission of HowMoneyWorks is to significantly reduce financial illiteracy by helping individuals, families, communities, small businesses, church groups understand their finances better. It aims to assist those who want financial freedom and help people understand how Medicare works, as well, Himmelright said.
She said it’s very important young people know how to manage their finances throughout all stages of their lives and she hopes to teach those principles to students at Kirtland Schools. “I would welcome dialogue with the school administrators, teachers, or counselors interested in our team offering classes in nearby Kirtland Schools,” she said. “We have taught classes for home school groups, at Riverside High School in Painesville and in many local churches.” The HowMoneyWorks Learning Center has a team of 30 people assisting all age ranges, she said. “Whether someone contacts us or another financial professional, reading the book first should provide a basis for dialogue and give the reader confidence pursuing a financial plan,” she said. “The book is available for purchase on Amazon, or (you may) contact the HowMoneyWorks Learning Center in Kirtland and one of their financial educators can provide a complimentary copy.” Himmelright said the book will be available in Spanish by years end early 2022 and she is currently working on HowMoneyWorks for Women, which is slated to be available by the second quarter of 2022. When asked what are her short- and longterm goals for her business in Kirtland, Himmelright said, “To attract more like-minded individuals to join our team and expand to serve more people both in the local area and across the United States.” For more information, contact Himmelright by emailing grace.h@howmoneyworks. com or call 440-375-0080.
