A recently-advertised event space in an industrial building on Auburn Road gave rise to concerns the Geauga County Building Department has not inspected the structure.
Auburn Township Zoning Inspector Frank Kitko told Auburn Township Trustees Aug. 5 the former garage — now remodeled and called the Cleveland Warehouse — recently held an open house.
Pictures on Facebook show a crowd of attendees at Cleveland Warehouse, which is owned by Clark Miller.
The warehouse website said, “This new event space is unique in every way with furnishings designed and created by the owner” and that the operation creates handcrafted, industrial-style furniture, custom-fabricated

and made-to-order.
The two-story structure at 18885 Auburn Road, formerly Brown’s Machine Shop, sits on 3.54 acres and was purchased May 18, 2023, by Miller, according to the Geauga County Auditor’s Office website.
“We have a situation where there is a party center in an industrial building,” Kitko said, adding the township board of zoning appeals would meet on the matter.
“It’s a commercial structure. They are inviting the public into a building that has been a manufacturing structure for years. It’s not built to accommodate a large number of people,” Kitko said. “This has gone on for more than a month. It’s coming to the board of zoning appeals next week.”
A neighbor on the sparsely-populated road called the zoning office to complain about loud music emanating from the building into the early morning hours, he said.
How many people can legally and safely occupy the building at the same time is still unknown.
Fire Chief John Phillips said there is no occupancy limit sign. In order to post one, the building has to be inspected.
“We sign off on the occupancy permit after the building department issues it,” he said, adding the building department takes messages, but does not return calls.
Kitko said he sent the owner a letter explaining the steps he needs to take because the structure violates zoning, but he did not know if the owner sent blueprints of the building renovations to the county.
“(The owner) was told they have to go to the building department,” Kitko said.
Geauga County Chief Building Official
Dan Spada said in a phone interview Aug. 6 a building inspector visited Cleveland Warehouse in early June and Miller said he would get his plans to the county but, so far, the plans have not arrived.
Spada said the structure should have an occupancy permit from when it was originally built, but, if the use has changed, a new permit is needed.
The township zoning, fire and building departments need to coordinate, he said.
If the property is zoned for industrial use, furniture manufacturing is still permitted and the original occupancy holds, he added.
But, if that changes, they need to resubmit their plans, have an inspection and a new occupancy permit, he said.
“They can hold a gathering as long as it's not the structure's primary use,” Spada said, adding, however, if the occupancy goes from,
for instance, 20 people to 300 people, “that’s a different kind of gathering.”
The Cleveland Warehouse website said its primary purpose is furniture manufacturing.
Its Facebook page added, “If you'd like to book the space for a private event, please feel free to PM and we'd be happy to discuss further and give you our list of preferred vendors.”
Trustee Mike Troyan said in a phone interview Aug. 6 the township is trying to keep the party center craze under control.
People think they can rent any large outbuilding as a party center, but there are permit requirements.
“We have 2,600 properties in Auburn and potentially 2,600 party centers,” he said. “Nobody wants to go through zoning.”
Both the township zoning office and Miller did not respond to requests for further comment prior to press deadline Aug. 6.

Chester Township
Trustees Place Four Levies on Nov. 5 Ballot
By Ann WishArt Ann@kArlovecmediA com
Chester Township Trustees took action July 24 to place two police and two road improvement renewal levies on the Nov. 5 ballot as continuing levies.
Trustee Ken Radtke said in a follow-up email converting renewal levies into continuing levies is a good strategy for the township and taxpayers.
“These are not tax increases. Some people have commented that each time a levy is on the ballot, they think we are asking for new money when that is not the case,” Radtke said.
When levies are put before voters the first time, they are usually in place for five years. At the end of four or five years, trustees will typically place the levy on the ballot as a renewal. If voters approve the levy, it will be collected for another five years.
A continuing levy is in place forever, avoiding the necessity of passing a renewal every five years.
Although the cost of maintaining roads, cemeteries and EMS and fire protection have increased over the years due to inflation, the amount renewal levies collect stays the same.
If more money is needed for these services, trustees have to place another levy on the ballot. Eventually, trustees end up with multiple levies on the ballot every election. Not only can that confuse voters, it is expensive, Radtke said.
“Each time (levies) are up for renewal on the ballot, it also costs money. Over the years, this is tens of thousands of dollars. Turning these into continuing levies not only reduces that confusion, it helps stabilize department funding (and) saves taxpayer money,” Radtke said.
If a levy is approved as a continuing levy, it will not appear as a renewal again and will continue to yield only the amount of money it was originally created to produce.
“Over the past approximately six years, Chester has been in the process of converting existing levies into continuing renewals,” Radkte said. “Chester has a very good history
of strong support for our levies, and as you can see, three of the four levies are more than 30 years old.”
Radtke provided the following information from the Geauga County Auditor’s Office on what the four levies would continue to cost homeowners if they become continuing levies.
For comparison, he also included what they would cost if they were converted to replacement levies and yielded tax revenue based on current values — an option that is not on the ballot.
The following costs to homeowners are all per $100,000 property valuation:
• The 2.5-mill police levy passed in 1980 currently yields more than $345,000 per year and costs homeowners $13.87 annually. As a replacement levy, it would yield about $1.37 million and cost homeowners $87.50 per year.
• The 1.5-mill road improvement levy passed in 1990 yields more than $306,000 per year and costs homeowners $15.70 per year. As a replacement levy, it would yield more than $820,000 and cost homeowners $52.50 annually.
• The 0.6-mill police levy passed in 1991 yields more than $118,000 annually and costs homeowners $5.98 per year. As a replacement levy, it would yield more than $273,000 and cost homeowners $17.50 per year.
• The 2.5-mill road and bridge levy passed in 2016 yields more than $937,000 and costs homeowners $57,37 per year. As a replacement levy, it would yield more than $1.36 million and cost homeowners $87.50 annually.
“The 2016 levy was renewed with strong support as well and we focus these dollars on road resurfacing and maintenance projects,” Radtke said, noting Chester voters have supported renewals.
Another reason for renewing the levies as replacements is the state 12.5% rollback on the old levies, the trustee said.
Passing a new levy or replacing the old levies would mean that rollback money would no longer come from the state and township property owners would have to cover it, he said.
Trustees voted unanimously to put the levies on the Nov. 5 ballot as continuing levies.
Faith-Based Youth Rally Attracts Over 200 Students
By kimBerlee JAckson editor@kArlovecmediA com
A Back-to-School Youth Rally drew over 200 students to the Geauga County Fair grounds in Burton Aug. 3 in an effort to forge connections, inspire, foster resiliency, expand social supports and better prepare youth for the upcoming school year.
The event, held from 7-10 p.m., offered free giveaways, bottled waters, a brownie and ice cream bar with a variety of toppings, a live concert with indie pop-rock band, “10 Talents,” and a message about overcoming adversity from guest speaker and amputee Brad Hurtig.
“We want (students) to see that the community is behind them,” said organizer Rachel Hutchison, founder of Project 22 & You, a Middlefield-area faith-based organiza tion with a mission to bring “the unchanging truth, substantial hope and radical love of Je sus Christ” back into area schools.
Project 22 & You hosted last Saturday’s event along with the Geauga chapter of Youth for Christ, a Christian movement with over 130 chapters across the country.
To emphasize the community’s support, Hutchison noted that within 24 hours of starting to plan the rally, the entire budget was covered by “generous local businesses and sponsors.”
“Everything is free for the kids, everything is paid for,” she said.
The rally brought students from Berkshire, St. Helen, Grand Valley, Cardinal and Kenston schools; Agape Christian Academy and BioMed Science Academy; Notre-Dame Cathedral Latin, St. Mary, Howland, Willoughby South and Perry schools; Kent State University and Mentor Cornerstone Christian Academy; James A. Garfield, Allen, Orange and Streetsboro schools; as well as home-schooled and students from Buckeye Online School for Success.
Hutchison said many young people today struggle with feelings of loneliness, mental health issues, balancing downtime and family time with the stress of playing sports year round and heavy school work loads, having
said. “The biggest thing we can learn is that in the age of being torn in every direction, they want to be heard. Listen to them, talk to them. They want to know they are loved.”
When Hurtig took the stage at the main grandstand on the fairgrounds, however, it was the youth who sat in rapt attention in the bleachers to listen to his message of resiliency, faith and the importance of having a growth-mindset when facing adversity.
Hurtig — who hails from a small town in Western Ohio where he had played as a starting linebacker for his high school football team — talked about how, at age 17, he lost one hand and arm up to the elbow, as well as his other hand in a tragic factory accident.
Within months of losing his hands, Hurtig rejoined his high school football team and within a year-and-a-half, he regained his starting linebacker position, led his team in tack-
les and earned First-Team All-Ohio honors, according to this website.
“How you handle adversity — the ability to find a way when there doesn’t seem any other way — has a lot to do with how you will live your life,” he told the crowd last Saturday.
To help illustrate what he had faced at that time, Hurtig called for six volunteers to participate in a demonstration, asking the first team of two to pick up a water bottle without using their hands. After some maneuvering, one was able to do it.
The second team was challenged to pick up a water bottle using only their elbows, which they did successfully, and the third team was asked to pick up a water bottle with only their knees, which they also did success-
Hurtig then told the audience he would be removing his prosthetics — inviting those who might be bothered to step away if needed — so people could see how they looked without them.
He recalled how during one football practice, he was thirsty and couldn’t get his own water bottle, but one of his coaches challenged him by throwing the water bottle a short distance away and telling him if he was thirsty enough, he would find a way.
And he did. He found a way.
“Losing my hand wasn’t the problem. It was me thinking I couldn’t (do things),” he said. “Every day, I started challenging myself to find a way.”
Some days, however, were harder than others, Hurtig said, recalling days when he would cry out, “God, what are you doing?”
“I just felt trapped — overwhelmed,” he said, “(I would ask), Why? Why do I have to go through this? I was angry at God. (But), God brought peace in the midst of tragedy. It is this peace that has carried me through.”
Hurtig went on to describe what his dayto-day life is like, noting he has to charge the prosthetics at night and how the charge usually lasts all day.
He also emphasized the importance of mindset on the challenging days.
“It really comes down to what you focus on — the good or the bad,” he said.
Hurtig asked the audience members to reflect on ways they have had to adapt in their lives, to find a way.
“(Some might be thinking), ‘Can I do this? Do I have what it takes?’ If that’s you — stick with it — I encourage you to find a way,” he said. “When things don’t work the first time, it’s okay. You will adapt, adjust — find a way.”
In a follow-up interview, Dean Carlo, of Youth for Christ, said he has read Hurtig’s book, “Find A Way: How a Water Bottle Took Me from Amputee to All-State,” and it inspired and encouraged him.
“I was inspired to keep pressing on and pressing in,” he said. “His story was inspiring to overcome adversity when all seems lost … and that there is victory, and life, even after tragedy.”
Carlo echoed Hutchison on the need for family and the community to provide more hope to youth.
“The word hope is mentioned in the Bible over 150 times. I don’t mean hope as in hoping I get a nice present for my birthday. Hope is knowing Psalm 39:7. Hope is knowing and having a relationship with Jesus Christ, God, our creator,” Carlo said. “Knowing and having hope in that is the greatest thing ever. That is what our youth need today.”
Carlo pointed to Hurtig’s story as an example of that hope, as well as the hope of more than 60 volunteers who set up the stage in the rain, wiped the rain from the bleachers, met several times to organize and pray for those who attended and who called on the community for its support.
“(Youth) need to know their purpose. And their purpose is to know they are loved,” he said. “Their purpose is to have a relationship with God. We are not just mammals. We are created by God and for God. Once we figure that out, that is a game-changer. That is what the youth of 2024 need to know.”
He added, “The world is loud and is vying for the attention of the youth. In the stillness and the quietness of their hearts, in the midst of the noisy world, once they realize that their hope is in God and that God’s love is here for them, that will be the game-changer for our youth. Make it so, Lord God, make it so.”
Court Grants Expedited Schedule in Ballot Access Case
stAff report
The Ohio Supreme Court granted Independent candidate for Ohio’s 99th statehouse district, Justin Tjaden, an expedited schedule July 28 in a case against the Geauga and Ashtabula county boards of elections.
A motion filed by the boards to dismiss Tjaden’s petition, which asks the court to recognize his right to appear on ballots this November, was also denied.

helped with the paperwork for public bidding, but when the bids came in over $200,000, Leven and trustees took another track.
“Ken said, ‘Do you think you can put courts in for under $75,000?’” Leven said.
If a public project costs that or more, the township legally has to go the bidding route, he said.
Jerry Kaminski and Lisa Ziegler went to work, raised more than $64,000 in contributions from more than 300 donors and about 23 volunteers dug in to do the construction, Leven said.
“We did it for $74,870,” he said. “The volunteers did it all — dug holes for the net sleeves, put up the posts. There are seven coats of paint on parts of those courts.”
The group is still hoping to raise enough to install lighting so pickleball can be played after dark, and buy a windshield for around the courts where a breeze can push the light balls out of bounds. Leven said a grant from the Northeast Ohio Public Energy Council might help with the lighting, but he expects another $90,000 may be needed.

Dorothy Mae Stange
Dorothy Mae Stange, age 83, peacefully passed away on July 31, 2024, surrounded by her loving family.
Born on Nov. 30, 1940, in Chardon, Dorothy was the cherished daughter of James and Mary (nee Veverka) Cada. Her life was a testament to warmth, dedication, and a deep love for her family.
A proud 1958 graduate of Kirtland High School, Dorothy furthered her education at Dyke College.
On Aug. 8, 1959, she married her beloved husband, John Stange, at the Kirtland South Church. Their marriage, which would have celebrated 65 years, was a beautiful journey filled with love, laughter and shared dreams.
In 1960, Dorothy and John moved to Chardon, where they built a life together and raised their family.
Dorothy dedicated 40 years to the Geauga County Board of Elections, advancing from setting up voting machines to being a board member and serving as the deputy director. She and John also co-owned a small equipment lawn and garden store in Willoughby for 45 years, demonstrating their commitment to both their business and community.
A passionate and active community member, Dorothy was deeply involved with the Republican Party and served with the Kiwanis Club in Willoughby for over 25 years.
Her love for travel made for great memories of countless family adventures, from camping trips across the country to a memorable month-long journey John and Dorothy had out west. Dorothy’s meticulous planning and enthusiasm for exploring new places made every trip a cherished memory.
Dorothy's greatest joy came from spending time with her family. She treasured holidays and family gatherings, and her love for her family was evident in every moment they shared.
Dorothy is survived by her devoted husband, John Stange, of Chardon Township; children, John (Amy) Stange, of Concord Township, and Vicki Ruple, of Willoughby Hills; and beloved grandchildren, Megan (Ryan) Bunch, of Eastlake, Audra (Roger) Davis, of Chester Township, Christine (Ben) Furlich, of Hudson, Meredith (Adam George) Ruple, of Chardon Township, and Mitchell (Macy Chapman) Ruple, of Columbus.

Russell Native Earns Award for Photography
stAff report
The Cleveland Arts Prize recently award ed Russell Township native and photographer Barbara Bosworth with a Lifetime Achieve ment Prize for her work in visual arts.
Bosworth joined six others who were rec ognized for highlighting the diversity and rich ness of the region’s cultural landscape, with achievements spanning various artistic disci plines, according to CAP, a platform founded in 1960 that is dedicated to recognizing and fostering artistic excellence in Northeast Ohio.
Bosworth’s work explores “the intricate relationships between humans and nature,” CAP said in a press release. “Her fascination with the night sky and natural world began in her childhood, walking with her father and observing the stars. Bosworth’s extensive career has produced large-format photographs that capture both the overt and subtle interactions between people and the environment.”
While Bosworth is currently a professor emeritus of photography at the Massachusetts College of Art and Design in Boston, her work has often reflected the landscapes and memories of her childhood in Northeast Ohio, according to CAP, which added her

Other award recipients include Amber Ford, who received the Emerging Arts Prize; Clint Needham, who received the Mid-Career Prize; Shannon Morris, who received the Robert Bergman Prize; Ronald and Eugenia Strauss, who received the Martha Joseph Prize for Distinguished Service to the Arts; and Ellen Stirn Mavec, who received the Barbara Robinson Prize for the Advancement of the Arts, according to CAP.
“We are thrilled to honor these incredible individuals who have made profound contributions to the arts in Northeast Ohio,” said Aseelah Shareef, board co-chair of CAP, in a statement. “This year, we received a total of 178 applications from a diverse and talented pool of artists, a testament to the vibrant artistic community we have. Despite the lack of funding forcing us to reduce the number of prizes this year from five to three $10,000 prizes, the dedication and passion of our artists continue to inspire us all.”
