Sagamore Hills exits decades-old firefighting relationship
with Northfield Center
by Kathleen Steele Gaivin
Sagamore Hills trustees have been meeting with Macedonia representatives since
January to discuss the possibility of regionalizing fire and EMS services in an effort
to contain costs. On March 15, they provided Northfield Center trustees with six
months’ notice that the township intends
to withdraw from the Northfield CenterSagamore Hills Fire District and contract
with Macedonia for services.
The two townships formed the fire district
in 2010, but they have a 40-year history
of shared fire services. The six-member
governing board is comprised equally of
Sagamore Hills and Northfield Center
trustees.
Sagamore Hills Trustee David DePasquale said Macedonia Mayor Joseph
Migliorini approached Sagamore Hills,
Northfield Center and Northfield Village
suggesting the communities look at ways
to cut expenses by regionalizing services,
starting with fire. The idea is to combine
equipment and services rather than have
2
the communities duplicate expenditures.
According to Sagamore Hills Trustee Paul
Schweikert, the decision to contract with
Macedonia is based on economics. He said
unfunded state mandates and budget cuts
in recent years have hit local communities
hard. Trustee John Zaccardelli said state
funding costs are forcing creative solutions
at the local level.
“If you want to survive as an entity, you
will regionalize or you will be gone,” Schweikert said.
Northfield Center-Sagamore Hills Fire
Chief Frank Risko took exception to the letter from Sagamore Hills, which read in part,
“The days of operating our fire district as a
part-time volunteer department are simply
not possible like they were in the past.”
“In these five years that we’ve worked as
a district, [we] did full-time professional
work and we did it at part-time wages,”
Risko said.
Members of the fire district expressed
feelings of insult and disrespect due to
Sagamore Hills trustees’ handling of the

Department. Photo by K. Gaivin
announcement. They said they learned of
the township’s intention from Facebook
posts and word-of-mouth delivery.
Northfield Center Trustee Paul Buescher
said he felt blindsided and accused Sagamore Hills trustees of conducting “backdoor meetings” with the city of Macedonia.
“I think this is a slap in the face,” he said.
Later, he added, “I think this is a blessing in
disguise. ... We’re all hurt. I think it’s time
we do part.”
DePasquale said two to three firefighters
would be on duty in Sagamore Hills at
all times. He said Sagamore Hills might
convert a garage building at the park into
a substation for staff and vehicles.
“That building could be retrofit very easily to house an ambulance and a fire truck,”
he said at the March 14 Sagamore Hills
trustees meeting.
“We would have the benefit of a 24/7
full-time crew, two to three firefighter/
paramedics … and then also firefighter/
paramedics would be on staff in Macedonia, which we kind of have that now with
mutual aid,” DePasquale said. “Macedonia
already backs up the fire district quite a bit.”
Cost containment
Sagamore Hills trustees pointed to rising
costs as the main driver behind the switch.
Last year, the township spent $646,000
for its share of fire district expenses. Based
on land values and property taxes, Sagamore Hills is responsible for 64.78 percent
of all fire district bills, according to Fiscal
Officer Scott Gale. Schweikert said costs are
rising in the short term with the addition
of a firefighter/paramedic at the fire station
and will continue to increase to purchase
equipment and, ultimately, renovate or
build a new fire station.
“The costs are skyrocketing,” he said.
“We’re trying to avoid a levy.”
In August 2013, Sam Schillero of S&S
Interiors estimated that it would cost between $500,000 to $600,000 to upgrade
the existing station at 60 W. Aurora Rd.,
citing heating, electrical, plumbing and
lighting deficiencies, as well as structural
wear and tear. Alternatively, Schweikert said
it would cost about $1.5 million to build
a new station.
“We’ve been repeatedly told that it needs
to be bulldozed,” he said.
Under the terms of the proposed contract
with Macedonia, Sagamore Hills must
commit to working with Macedonia for
five years at a cost of $750,000 per year.
“This will stabilize our costs for at least
five years. Costs are increasing every quarter,” DePasquale said.
Risko argued that residents should be
given the opportunity to vote on a levy.
“We’re taking away from the residents,
and we’re not giving them a chance to vote,”
the fire chief said.
At the March 14 Sagamore Hills Township trustees meeting, resident Frank Kopas
compared Macedonia’s proposal to “snake
oil being sold.” Northfield Center Trustee
Buescher reiterated this sentiment at the
fire board meeting.

“You guys fell into something. Macedonia
is hurting for money right now. I think they
just found someone to help subsidize their
department at our expense,” Buescher said.
He also said he has been speaking with
Mayor Jesse Nehez of Northfield Village
“and we’re getting very serious about forming a district with them. The talks have been
going on since August, when we first found
out you guys were shopping around.”
Buescher admitted that the talks were
based on rumors about Sagamore Hills’
intentions. He did not state where the
rumors came from. He said he is “not at
liberty” to discuss why he will not enter
into discussions with the city of Macedonia.
“We wish that Northfield Center would
join us in this endeavor,” DePasquale said.
Northfield Center Trustee Richard Reville
asked if there was anything that could be
done that would cause Sagamore Hills to
reverse its decision, but Schweikert was
adamant that this was the best move.
“You’re burning a bridge with us,” Buescher said.
Even so, Northfield Center trustees
drafted a letter to Sagamore Hills trustees
on April 4 with a proposal for Sagamore
Hills to contract fire and EMS services with
the Northfield Center Fire Department a
rate of $750,000 the first and second years,
plus any negotiated raises the second year.
Years three to five are open to negotiation,
the letter stated, “based on review of actual
service levels.”
Schweikert said Sagamore Hills trustees
would discuss the letter openly at the April
11 trustees meeting.
“I’m not negotiating in the media,” he
said. ∞

3D Printer Club designs and builds for the future
by Laraine L. Heck
There is a high level of excitement and
fun for 24 Lawrence School students who
participate in a club where they are able
to design and build three-dimensional
objects.
The opportunity to obtain 3D equipment came in a way that gives the school
tremendous pride, according to director of
technology and club advisor, Sally Garza.
She said Lawrence School students won a
$2,000 prize from MetroHealth for a video
they created on brain health. With the
prize money and additional funding, the
school purchased a MakerBot Replicator
and scanner.
The club meets each Tuesday at lunchtime in the Lawrence upper school tech
lab where Garza teaches with help from
Tinkercad, a free website with an easy-touse 3D computer-aided design tool. Each
student participates with a laptop computer, which can be used at any location.
First projects are simple, such as key
chains and cookie cutters, but as the members learn, more complicated objects fol-
low. All students are
asked to design one
curricular object per
quarter and very
often, they create
pencil stands and
other items used in
classrooms, such as
a replica of a glucose
molecule for the biology lab.

Lawrence
School is a state-chartered, independent
coed day school for bright students with
different learning styles. The upper school
has been located on 47 acres in Sagamore
Hills since 2007 and has 250 students in
grades 7 through 12.
Garza said a variety of assistive technology tools help accommodate the students’
learning needs. Starting in 2007, the school
implemented a 1:1 laptop program at the
upper school, which provides every student
with a laptop computer. According to
Garza, almost all professional technology
is done in-house with active involvement
of all departments. She stresses how imbedded technology is at the school, with
a working smart, not hard, theory of
learning. ∞
Trustees
Corner
by Trustee
Paul Schweikert
In life, there are three certainties. You
can’t stop death, taxes and change. Sagamore Hills Township is trying to manage
change while keeping the cost of local
government as low as possible.
In late December 2015, Macedonia
Mayor Joe Migliorini contacted every
community in the Nordonia Hills area to
discuss the economic challenges that each
community is facing with the loss of local
government funding. In February of this
year, Migliorini hosted a meeting and proposed regionalizing Fire/EMS between the
four communities. Sagamore Hills was the
only community that requested a quote.
On March 14, at a township meeting,
we accepted the proposal to regionalize.
This year Sagamore Hills is budgeted for
expenditures just shy of $746,000. In
2017, we will pay the city of Macedonia
$750,000 and added labor costs over a
five-year period. If we were to stay in the
current fire district, we would pay between
$950,000 and $1.4 million per year for the
next five years. We are hoping to stabilize
Fire/EMS costs over the next five years.
The needs of the current fire district are
great. They will require between 2 and 5
mills. The current fire station located in
Northfield Center Township is in need
of major renovations or demolition/new
fire station. Both options are extremely
pricey. Sagamore Hills Township would
have to pay two-thirds of the cost. In addition, the current fire district needs nearly
$1 million in capital equipment over the
next five years. Two mills on a $100,000
home would be approximately $70 more
per year. Five mills on a $100,000 home
would be in the neighborhood of $125
more per year.
By regionalizing with Macedonia, all
current employees who would lose their
part-time jobs would be hired after passing
the Macedonia hiring criteria. The number one problem the current fire district
faces is adequate staffing. Sagamore Hills
will have a Fire/EMS sub-station in the
township park. Every shift will have at
least one full-time fire fighter and one or
two more on station. The substation will
have one ambulance and one fire engine.
There will be no drop in service. This
substation will be backed up by five to
seven fire fighters from Macedonia. This
option will require three-quarters of a mill
in November 2017.
What about the change.org petition?
The resident that started the petition campaigned against Trustee John Zaccardelli
in the last election, and was opposed to
Sagamore Hills regionalizing dispatching
with the city of Macedonia. (This saved
Sagamore Hills’ taxpayers 2 to 3 mills) In
addition, this individual has not attended
any fire board meetings in over a year.
Instead, a petition was started without full
knowledge of the facts behind our decision, which were discussed at our March
14 meeting.
Our efforts at regionalizing both dispatch/Fire EMS services serve as an
example how difficult it is to cut taxes in
this country.

Troubador Drive to close for up to two weeks in July
March 14 trustees meeting
The Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer
District will shut down Troubador Drive
for seven to 14 days in July for a sewer
line replacement project.
According to Sagamore Hills Trustee
Paul Schweikert, there have been rumors
among some Eaton Estate residents that
the sewer district cleared trees in anticipation of the project without obtaining
necessary permission from the Environ-
mental Protection Agency.
“They did get EPA permission. What
they’re waiting on is the Army Corps of
Engineers to sign off,” Schweikert said.
“The Sewer District has obtained all
the appropriate environmental permits
to complete this project,” according to
a written response from Rachel Webb,
WatershedTeam Leader for NEORSD.
According to Webb, NEORSD will
notify the Eaton Estate Homeowners
Association advance of the road closure.

“A maintenance of traffic plan was developed and will be implemented during
this time. Detour signs and routes will be
clearly marked,” she wrote.
In other meeting news, Police Chief
David Hayes said the Sagamore Hills
Police Department will be cracking down
on speeders with a spring speed awareness
campaign, beginning April 1. The police
will issue warnings in most instances.
“We plan to educate, not penalize,”
Hayes said. “Townships do not make any
money on citations.”
Road repairs
Sagamore Hills will be undertaking a
$410,000 repair project on Canyon View
Drive with the help of an Ohio Public
Works Grant. The project will dovetail
with planned North Hills Water District
repairs in the area.
“Canyon View leaks a lot,” said township attorney Jeff Snell. “We have an
ongoing problem. … We have had a
number of breaks over the years. The
water district has authorized the engineer, Chagrin Valley, to figure out what
it would take to create a set of plans with
the idea that we can make an application with Sagamore Hills to hopefully
get funded. The plan is to replace the
water line completely along Canyon
View Road.”
After major repairs to Sagamore Road
last year, Trustee John Zaccardelli reported that a “hump” has developed
from an underground spring along one
section of the road. He said he has talked
to Chagrin Valley Engineering about
the issue.
“They know. It’s on the punch list.
They’re going to fix it,” he said. “It’s just
one of those anomalies that you don’t
know what you’re going to get when
you’re in the middle of the woods.”
Zoning inspector stipend
Trustees confirmed that the new zoning inspector receives a $12,000 per year
stipend for his services. The previous
zoning inspector earned less than $9,000
a year. However, the previous zoning inspector had an assistant. Current Zoning
Inspector Mike Friess has no assistant, is
responsible for his own cell phone and is
not compensated for mileage. ∞

Developer purchases additional land for subdivision
March 28 zoning commission meeting
Matthew Weber, an engineer working
for Sagamore Land Properties, presented
updated plans for the Hidden Ridge
subdivision, which the company intends
to develop at Dunham and Canal roads
on land commonly known to longtime
residents as the Baxter property. Weber
told the Sagamore Hills Zoning Commission that Sagamore Land Properties had
acquired an additional two acres adjacent
to the south of the 21.3 acres previously
approved for Hidden Ridge and is now
seeking approval for revised plans.
While still setting aside 40 percent of
the subdivision as undisturbed green
space, Weber said the added property

would allow the developer to make some
lots larger and add one additional lot to
the original plan. According to Weber, the
approved roadways, utilities and storm
water management for the 21 homes will
be unaffected by these changes.
“It won’t have any effect on it [water
retention],” Weber said in response to a
question from Zoning Commission Vice
President Dwight Chassar.
The zoning commission unanimously
approved the revised plans. The next step
is for the developer to take the plans to the
Summit County Planning Commission.
In other business, the zoning commission continued a discussion about parking
concerns at Highpoint Plaza on West
Aurora Road. Under township regulations, the plaza’s parking needs exceed the
number of spaces available, particularly if
Dos Coronas Restaurant becomes a reality there. Zoning Commission President
David Koncal said the owner of the property is going to add 25 spaces at the rear
of the property, but that still will not be
adequate per zoning requirements. Since
Dos Coronas applied for a zoning permit
more than a year ago, Domino’s Pizza has
opened in the plaza thereby changing the
parking needs.
“In reality, there does not seem to be
a problem with overflowing parking at
the plaza at this time,” Koncal said, “due
to the varying hours the businesses are
open. However, needs will change if the
Mexican restaurant opens.”
According to Zoning Inspector Mike
Friess, the township issued a permit to
Dos Coronas in January 2015 that expired one year later. Before proceeding
further with modifying space for the
restaurant, Dos Coronas owners will need
to apply for a new permit. The board
of zoning appeals will need to address
parking needs at that time, according to
township attorney Jeff Snell.
Koncal suggested that it might be better
for Dos Coronas to consider relocating
to another location, such as Sagamore
Square where parking is not an issue. The
zoning commission does not know what
the restaurant owner intends or why the
restaurant did not open within the one
year specified on the permit. ∞

Board meets with community leaders
by Lori Gray
March 21 school board meeting
The Nordonia Hills school board welcomed local community leaders to discuss improving communications between
the communities and the school board.
“We thought it would be a good idea
to get the community together, because
we are made up of several different
communities, and see what we can do
to work together to make our district a
strong district,” school board President
Tammy Strong said. “If there is anything
we can provide, or if you are hearing
anything from the community, we can
hear that too.”
“I want to make sure that actual factual
information gets passed between us and
that everyone knows what’s going on,”
Vice President Chad Lahrmer added.
Macedonia City Council President
Nick Molnar agreed, stating that he
“would like to have a stronger relationship. It’s long overdue.”
Macedonia council representative,
Sylvia Hanneken, asked when the school
board would decide to put a levy on the
ballot again. The last levy was defeated
60/40 in 2015.
“Our constituencies are different, but
everyone is interested in projections
and when levies are going to appear,”
Hanneken said.
“It’s on our agenda,” said Lahrmer.
“We haven’t officially decided anything.
I think it’s very fair to say that in the next
year there will be a levy on the ballot.”
The board and community leaders
discussed how to attract new residents.
“As community leaders you can be a
thermostat, temperature-taker of what’s
going on in the community, regardless of
what community you represent,” school
board member Jim Szabo said. “That’s an
opportunity for us to get that information from you so that we can either act
accordingly with it or assist you with it.”
School board member Liz McKinley
suggested the board host the communities at quarterly school board work
sessions.
Curriculum Director Todd Stuart
presented the state report card results,
as reported in the April issue of the
Sagamore Voice.
“As you know, Ohio has increased the
expectations of both standards as well
as assessments. Thankfully, they have
given us safe harbor for the time being,
so that we can basically hit the reset button and develop our new baseline and
move forward,” said Stuart.
“We have a very low transiency rate, so
our kids come and they stay. That speaks
volumes because there are districts that
struggle with transiency. Research shows
that when children stay in their district
in a solid format they thrive much
stronger than if they move around,”
McKinley said.
Lahrmer reported that the city of
Macedonia has added a police officer
for the school district. This officer will
be positioned daily at the high school
beginning next school year.
“Good collaborative effort,” Lahrmer
said. ∞

Developer makes attempts to join Eaton Estate Homeowners Association
According to a message the board sent out
to Eaton Estate residents, “At this time, the
board considers this issue closed and will not
be replying to the latest offer.’’
Asked to respond to Universal’s proposal,
association board President Gary Spriggs said,
“You want me to comment so you can write
a story? Well, I’m not going to comment.’’
by Sheldon Ocker
Eaton Estate residents learned at a March
board meeting of the Eaton Estate Homeowners Association (HOA), that Universal
Development offered the board $57,000
to become members of the association. The
board refused the offer, and the developer
came back with an offer of $100,000.

Universal Development wanted to develop
51.2 acres across the northern border of
Eaton Estate on Houghton Road and asked
Sagamore Township trustees several months
ago for a zoning variance that would allow
them to construct 180 condominiums.
Trustees turned down the proposal, because
it did not meet township requirements of one
residential unit per acre.
Universal then approached the Eaton
Estate HOA, asking to become a part of the
planned unit development, to work around
township zoning restrictions. The developer
made a presentation to the HOA board in
December, but the plan never came to a vote
of either the board or residents.
As part of the message to Eaton residents,
the board wrote, “If Universal Development
Properties contacts the board again, we will
let the HOA know of those details. Once
again, there are no further discussions, actions or negotiations transpiring with or
between anyone on the board or association
and Universal Development.’’ ∞

Police execute drug bust on Carter Road
The Sagamore Hills Police Department’s Investigative Unit and the Summit County Drug Task Force executed a
search warrant on March 28 and arrested
50-year-old James Giglio for allegedly
growing and distributing marijuana
from his Carter Road property. According to Sagamore Hills Police Chief
David Hayes, the warrant was the result
of a month-long investigation following
a tip from a resident.
Giglio’s 53-year-old wife, Jeanne,
turned herself in to police three days
later. She was charged with illegal cultivation of marijuana.
Hayes said police found 19 adult
marijuana plants that were being grown
in a 20-by-20 foot underground bunker
beneath an outbuilding, which was behind Giglio’s residence. Police also seized
equipment and chemicals used to grow
the plants.
“This is more than for personal use,”
Hayes said.
He said that the exact weight of the
Bottled Water
for Home or Office
marijuana and, therefore, its street value
could not immediately be determined.
“We will weigh it dry. It is heavier now
because it’s damp,” he said.
Additionally, police took two vehicles,
a backhoe, money and other items from
the residence. Hayes said Sagamore
Hills will be working with the Summit
County prosecutor’s office to file forfeiture paperwork for some of the property.
The felony case has been bound over to
the Summit County Court of Common
Pleas, where the Giglios are named as codefendants. According to Hayes, a case
like this could be in the court system for
up to a year. ∞

The
Grapevine
Watch out for wild turkeys! That’s the
advice of Mildred Kincade of Northfield
Center. Kincade said she looked up from
her crossword puzzle to see a large turkey
charge through her front window. It took
a call to the Summit County Sheriff’s Office to get the bird safely out of the home.
Authorities said that April and May are
mating season for turkeys, and the male
turkey most likely mistook its reflection
for a competitor and attacked.
It’s a boy! Angie and Jeff Stimson are
short-term host parents to Benni, a foreign
exchange student from Germany. He is welcomed by host brothers Justin and Ryan.
Kudos to the students of Lee Eaton
School, who raised more than $4,468 for
the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society
through Olive Garden’s “Pennies for Pasta”
fundraising event. The Italian restaurant
challenges students to collect spare change
for a charity in classrooms over a threeweek period. At the end of the fundraiser,
Olive Garden rewards the top fundraising
classroom at the school with a pasta party.
Bethany Payne’s class won the pasta party
with $458. Debbie Justus’ class came in
second with $448. Sue Harris’ class earned
third place with $437.

Church’s pastor Mark Ashley and his family
on the death of Ashley’s mother, Mildred.

School science squad heads to state competition
by Chad Felton
Nordonia High School has produced
numerous extracurricular teams that perform at high levels, none more so than the
parent-run Science Olympiad.
“We are a perennial state qualifier, which
is a testament to how hard these students
work. Most of these students have curriculum schedules that include multiple
honors and AP-level courses. At the high
school Division C Level, most of the testing events include college-level exercises or
very specific details on the subject matter,”
Coach Frank Blackwell said.
Senior Emily Gedeon, in her sixth year
with the Science Olympiad, said she’s loved
every minute of the experience and the opportunities it provides.
“I can honestly say I would not be headed
down the path of environmental engineering at Ohio State University without it.
Science Olympiad has helped nurture my
passion for science and problem-solving,”
she said. “Every year I have made new
friends from across the state who share my
love for proteins and the scientific method.”
The team consists of 15 students who
compete in 23 events, requiring two or
three participants over a six-hour day.
Students must be proficient in two-to-

Q.
A.
What are the
signs of developing
a bunion?
A bunion occurs when your big toe points
toward the second toe. This causes a bump on
the inside edge of your toe. The medical name
for bunion is Hallux valgus.
Bunions occur more commonly in women and can sometimes run in families. People born with abnormal bones in
their feet are more likely to form a bunion. Wearing narrow
toed, high-heeled shoes may also lead to the development
of a bunion.
The condition may become painful as extra bone & a
luid-filled sac grow at the base of the big toe.
Symptoms of bunions
• Red, callused skin along the inside edge of the big toe.
• A bony bump at this site
• Pain over the joint, aggravated by pressure from the shoes
• Big toe turned toward the other toes.
A doctor can usually diagnose a bunion by looking at it. A
foot x-ray can show an abnormal angle between the big toe
and the foot and in some cases arthritis.
When a bunion first begins to develop, take good care
of your feet and wear wide-toed shoes. This can often solve
the problem and prevent the need for any further treatment
It may help to wear felt or foam pads on the foot to protect
the bunion, or devices called spacers to separate the first and
second toes at night. These are available at drugstores. You
can also try cutting a hole in a pair of old comfortable shoes
to wear around the house.
