Several golden girls remi- nisce about golden times in the Young of Heart Club, their voices as excited as Betty White and Bea Arthur, their hands animated as they catch up with each other. The Chester Township social club’s members may be gold, but the club itself will celebrate its silver anniversary with a party at noon Friday in nearby Kelly Hall, said member Linda Horvath. “It will be a great time and a great way to celebrate how far we’ve come,” Horvath said prior to the start of a club meeting. Chester Township resident Dottie Szuter decided to form the club in 1987, according to a March 10, 1995, article from The West Geauga Courier. Szuter talked to church parishioners about the idea and the group began meeting in var- ious locations around the town- ship, according to the article. With the blessing of then- Pastor John Anderson and then- associate Pastor William Johnson — who gave the group its name — the Young of Heart Club held its first meeting in January 1988 with 14 members. The group also received a boost from its first president, the late Gerry Armstrong and her husband, Robert, said Publicity Chairwoman Nancy Battenfield. Over the next-quarter cen- tury, the group expanded to its current 160-member total, said Battenfield, a member since the mid-1990s. The club holds its regular meetings at the parish center, 12969 Chillicothe Road, on the first and third Fridays of the month. Board meetings take place the first Tuesday of each month. About 160 members make up the group as a whole, while the board – including officer positions like president and vice-president as well as com- mittee chairs – is composed of roughly a dozen members. The club’s membership is composed of those 55 years and older. Members do not have to be Roman Catholic, but they have to live in Geauga County because their parish center only holds so many, Battenfield said.

expose kids to business con-cepts,” McKiernan said of theevent. “They had to learn every-thing from marketing to inven-tory and other issues.”The business will initially

sell grocery bags of fresh, organ-ic produce, boxed whole-grainpastas and sauces, with a focuson families, to local residents. The bags will include direc-

tions on how to cook the mealsas well as a board game to pro-mote togetherness, said Molly,Kathleen’s daughter.“You receive the bag and its

contents on Friday, cook themeal and play the board game,then return the bag and gameon Monday,” she said.The short version of the

story states they won big May20 and took home prizes andwill start to implement the busi-ness this summer. The prizes included $500 in

cash and 10 shares apiece ofClass B Berkshire-Hathawaystock, valued at $111.51 apieceas of close June 5, according tothe marketwatch.com website.The long version involves a

tale of sacrifice, teamwork andrespect.

On Cold Winter Night, HotBusiness Idea Takes OffThe base of the Appalachian

Mountains in Pennsylvaniabegins to take hold east ofCleveland in places like Kirt-land.In Kirtland, most of those

foothills are covered with snowa majority of the time, but thewinter atmosphere helped C.J.and Michael first kick aroundthe business idea last fall. “We just thought of it and

worked on it a lot,” C.J. said ofthe project.The duo brought the idea to

middle school teacher KarlaChavez Stoll, Middle SchoolDirectress, which fit in with theschool’s existing micro-econo-my project. Molly and Austin, both sev-

enth-graders, later joined thetwo boys — C.J., a seventh-grader; and Michael, an eighth-grader — after being voted tothe team.A few months before C.J.

and Michael developed theiridea, a school parent suggested

the students enter the Learnand Earn program’s BusinessChallenge. The Learn and Earn

Program is composed of severalparts — Learn and Earn, theSecret Millionaires Club andthe Business Challenge —according to the program web-site.Learn and Earn teaches

financial literacy and entrepre-neurship through classroomactivities and materials. TheSecret Millionaires Club is ananimated website and televisionseries on The Hub Networkstarring Buffett, who mentorsentrepreneurial children onhow to start a business. The Business Challenge, in

its second year, is open to bothindividuals and teams with upto four students ages 7 to 16.The challenge was developed toreinforce the existing websiteseries and learning materials,according to the website.Like those Appalachian

foothills, the business studentsfound their beginnings and theirplan took hold.

‘Our Students Are NotAfraid To Fail’Their ascent to the top of

the competition mountain start-ed with weekly sessions at theschool.Molly drew the original

design of the logo and thenAustin created the graphicdesign so that they could havethe logo embroidered ontoshirts they wore in a videodescribing their business. They also raised funds by

planning and cooking aspaghetti dinner, enabling themto purchase a banner, T-shirts,and also the grocery bags withthe Food & Family=F2 logo. The small group submitted

their entries in the challenge,but received a big boost from anunexpected source: Online vot-ers.About 40,000 online voters

viewed the prospective businessplans, shown via team-createdvideos and voted on them. Catholic Montessori School

won the online portion of thechallenge outright with a strongvideo, vaulting them into thefinals competition in Omaha,800 miles away.“We were chosen out of

almost 4,000 participants,” C.J.said. “We were in music classwhen Molly’s mother (McKiernan)

came in and announced it. Wethen got excited.”Once in Nebraska, the group

— accompanied by Stoll andparent volunteers — presenteda PowerPoint, poster boards andhandouts to Buffett and a judg-ing panel composed of eightbusiness executives.

When the students were notgiving a presentation, they wereattending business-themedworkshops. “Everyone was excited to

see Mr. Buffett,” Austin said.“He was down-to-earth and agreat guy.”The students said Buffett

talked about the business world,about having patience, courageand drive. Buffett told the students he

looks at when a student startshis or her first business, not nec-essarily his or her grades, as anindicator of success, McKiernansaid.“Our students are not afraid

to fail,” she added. McKiernan said she believed

the school’s unique naturehelped the students compete ata national level. For starters, she said, the 75-

student, 12-teacher schoolfocuses on solving problemsoutside the box from preschoolthrough eighth grade.The school, started in 1994,

is based in both Divine WordCatholic Church and the OldSouth Church, with the seventh-and eighth-graders at the latterlocation.

It utilizes teaching princi-ples based in the Montessorimethod and curriculum guide-lines of the Roman CatholicDiocese of Cleveland, she said.“I was also proud that they

decided to start a business thatwas based on helping others,”Principal Diana Betts said.“They wanted to create a busi-ness that helped our com-munity.”In the end, everyone came

out winners, McKiernan said.“The lessons they learned

during this process will be usedthe rest of their lives,” sheadded.

lunches and receive refresh-ments at the meetings. Thegroup also hosts various speak-ers and entertainment likemusical acts.Young of Heart holds reverse

raffles in order to raise funds fortrips, such as jaunts to NiagaraFalls or to the casinos inWindsor, Ontario. They also holdpotluck dinners and picnics.“One of our famous trips

was a trek to Mount Rushmore,”Battenfield said. “We’ve doneday trips, cruises, overnight trips,you name it. We’re looking for-ward to a Chicago trip in July.”Horvath said the group is

“doing well” but is always open

to receiving new members.“We’re an older community,

and we need younger people,”Battenfield added.Every June, the members

have a birthday party at St.Anselm, as well as a Christmasparty in an off-site location. Friday’s silver-themed cele-

bration, including decorations, isin tribute to the group’s anniver-sary.Past birthday parties had

their own unique themes. Lastyear’s theme was a 1950s partywith poodle skirts and doo-woprecords, while the 2011 circus-themed event included clownsand balloons, Battenfield said.Horvath, who moved to

Chester Township from Cleve-land in 1971, said she was grateful

for the community’s support ofthe group over the years.“This group becomes your

family, your friends and it is justamazing. There’s so much ener-gy, we have to tell them to bequiet sometimes,” Horvath said,laughing. “They really love it.”As their meeting begins,

they look back, but look for-ward at the same time.Some of them will thank

each other for being friends.But all said they are thank-

ful for the group’s continuedexistence.

residents spoke in favor of con-tinuing the township’s recyclingprogram. Others questioned therecords shredding process. “You could be destroying

something you’d need later tomake a decision; who’s makingthe decision of what to keep?”one woman asked.Fiscal Officer Mike Stark

said the township has a detailedrecords retention policy thatfollows state guidelines and thatfinancial records and backmeeting minutes are kept forev-er, but other records are simplynot needed and are taking upspace.“We’re cleaning up things

we don’t need,” Stark said,adding Caputo has been spend-ing a lot of time sorting throughboxes.Joyce said he has as well.“I haven’t,” Radtke said.

“Twenty-eight boxes have beengone through by one trustee.”The same woman in the

audience said all three trusteesshould be participating.“We’re in full compliance

with state law,” Joyce assuredher.Resident Patty Bauer said

she was upset at the combativetone she saw at the meeting.“There’s so much laughing

in the audience; I’m thoroughlydisgusted as we sit here,” Bauersaid.Resident Maria Wolanin

said she agreed with her.“There’s not much respect

given to the trustees and thelaughter is inappropriate,”Wolanin said.Resident Venn Paoletto

To the Residents ofChester Township,I was not able to attend the

trustees meeting of May 30,however, I feel compelled toaddress some of the issues dis-cussed at that meeting after Ilistened to the recording. While the Chesterland News

has a reporter at our meetingsand then reports on what ishappening, I could not believeTrustee Ken Radtke publiclyinitiated a discussion withTrustee Mike Joyce about a sit-uation concerning the town-ship’s administrative assistant. This banter of Ken’s was

totally inappropriate to be dis-cussed publicly … that is whythe Ohio Revised Code allowsthe trustees to enter into execu-tive session to discuss suchissues. At the meeting of May 16,

Ken went on to banter about amotion that was placed on thefinal agenda, but was not on thedraft. He accused both Joyce and

myself of instructing the admin-istrative assistant to place it onthe final agenda even though hehad all the information weeksprior to the meeting; he statedhe was not prepared.I take issue with Radtke on

several points.

First and most importantly ispublicly discussing any issuesconcerning any employee of thetownship and the way he speaksto them. Secondly, Radtke attacks

either Joyce or myself at eachmeeting instead of doing the jobof making decisions about thetownship’s business. At eachmeeting for the past months, herequests something to be tabledinstead of moving forward andmaking a decision to either voteyes or no on the motion. He tries to portray himself

as a victim to not having infor-mation when in reality, he hasreceived it either via email ordocuments by township mail. As far as I’m concerned, I

have helped Radtke come up tospeed as a new trustee, but atwhat point does he stand on hisown? And why should I continue if

he refuses to be a team player? Whether he likes it or not,

all three trustees are equal andthat is why the residents havethree trustees in office. We may not agree on issues

or even like each other, but thatshould not come in the way ofdoing the job or making a deci-sion in the best interest of allthe residents in the township. That is what is called profes-

sionalism … not to attack a

fellow trustee in a meeting. Radtke reminds me of being

in grade school on a playgroundwhen you see the small group ofkids on the side telling him tostart a fight and they will backhim up. I believe now-a-days you

would call this bullying. I neverliked it back then and still don’ttoday, but that is what the town-ship meetings are like.It’s pretty sad isn’t it? I

refuse to play into that and Iwill continue to do the best jobI can for all the residents ofChester Township.This township has a lot to be

proud of and has so many posi-tive things happening, like thepark board working diligentlyon numerous projects toimprove the Parkside Park.If you have not seen it lately,

you need to. This was not com-pleted by the few negative resi-dents, but by residents that trulycare about the community andall of the organizations, businessowners and others that havestepped up to the plate to makea difference here where we live. I want to sincerely thank

everyone that has helpedChester Township shine oncemore as a great township to livein and a township to be proudof. I am sure that over the next

six months or so, you will readmore negativity about Joyceand myself because this is anelection year for both he and Iand this bullying and half truthsare the only way the few nega-tive cronies have. Once again thank you for

allowing me to be your town-ship trustee.
