Skeletons on Para Halloween Display Turns Home Into Seasonal Spectacle
By John Karlovec editor@karlovecmedia.com Motorists traveling along Chillicothe Road each fall may notice something unusual gathering outside Frank Nerone’s home. Skeletons. And plenty of them. What began in 2011 with a single inflatable Frankenstein has grown into an annual Halloween tradition, as Nerone transforms his Chester Township property into a sprawling display of roughly 150 props, anchored by a 12-foot skeleton and lit at night by what he describes as thousands of extension cords. This is the 16th year Nerone has decorated for Halloween and the 14th at his current home at 11486 Chillicothe Road. “This is what I like to do,” said Nerone, 45. “You’ll never see me with a motorcycle or a fancy car. I like to decorate.” See Halloween • Page 6

Wolverines’ Phillips Advances to States for 3rd Year By Alan Kornspan sports@karlovecmedia.com
ALAN KORNSPAN/KMG
West Geauga Wolverines junior Dylan Phillips won the OHSAA District Championship for the second year in a row at Windmill Lakes Golf Course in Ravenna on Sept. 29. For the third year in a row, Phillips will compete in the OHSAA Golf State Championships on Oct. 11 and 12 at Firestone Country Club in Akron.
One stroke. That was the margin Dylan Phillips needed to win the OHSAA District Championship for the second year in a row at Windmill Lakes Golf Course in Ravenna on Sept. 29. With the margin for success at the OHSAA District Championships being so small, Phillips talked about the importance of being mentally tough. In reflecting on winning his second straight District Championship and qualifying for the state championships for the third year in a row, Phillips explained how he was able to stay mentally tough. He said he did not have his “A” game at the district championship. “I didn't have my best stuff,” Phillips said. “I practiced and prepared enough to where I gave See Golf • Page 2

from page 1 myself a great opportunity. I battled a lot. Struggled through a couple small things. Got (some) unlucky breaks. But I'm really proud of how I held it together, and how everything finished.” In handling the adversity, Phillips said the key was staying present on each shot. Although he hit some shots throughout the round that he was not happy about, he made sure he was mentally ready to hit his next shot. “Nothing on the previous shot affected the next shot,” Phillips said. “I kept myself into it all day and I gave myself as many opportunities as I could. And that's all you could ask for, just an opportunity.”
In winning the OHSAA District Championship for the second year in a row, Phillips said the use of a pre-shot routine was crucial to his success. “(My pre-shot routine) was crucial. It's something you don't build over a couple weeks, you build it over years and years and it gets you so settled in,” Phillips said. “The first tee shot, I had a pre-shot routine. It was the same pre-shot routine as the (one I used) for the tee shot I hit on 18.” The Wolverines, who finished ninth as a team at Districts, were led by Phillips with a 73, Jackson Clark with an 81, Mitchell Nitz with an 88 and Sam Geraci with a 94. West Geauga Wolverines head coach Jay Kletecka said that in his 18 years coaching the Wolverines boys golf team, this was the first time the team had qualified for Districts. “The highlight of our season definitely
was going 14-2 as a team,” Kletecka said. “Couldn't be more proud of our guys for doing such an amazing job getting here. Maybe it didn't go our way today in terms of our score overall, but I'm so super proud that our guys made it here and obviously congrats to Dylan again for being a three-time state qualifier.” Phillips also talked about having his entire team competing with him at the District Championships. “For us all to be here, it's a really cool experience for everybody, and not just the players, but the families and everyone,” Phillips said. “(My teammates and I) have grown up together. We're all so close. It makes the wins feel a whole lot better and the losses not feel as bad. I think just being so close it just picks all of us up. One of us has a bad day, ‘don't worry about it, I got you.’ It's a really fun time

being so close to all these guys. They're my best friends.” Throughout the season, Dylan's father, Dan Phillips, served as the assistant coach, while Dylan's sister, Anna, a freshman, also competed with the team. Anna Phillips, however, did not compete in the OHSAA Boys Division II Sectional and District Championships. Competing in the OHSAA Division I Girls Golf Sectional at Fox Den in Stow on Sept. 30, Anna Phillips shot a 77 to qualify for the OHSAA Division I Girls Golf District Championship at Tanglewood Golf Club in Chagrin Falls on Oct. 6, where she will attempt to qualify for the state championships. Dylan Phillips will next compete in the OHSAA Division II Boys Golf State Championships on Oct. 11 and 12 at Firestone Country Club in Akron.

Old Things Find New Life at Reimagined Decor, Gifts & More By John Karlovec editor@karlovecmedia.com A roadside table, a box of leftover witch hats and a drawer of old family ornaments all have one thing in common at Reimagined Decor, Gifts & More: a second chance. The shop, opened this summer by longtime friends Pam Bruner and Martha Stafford, sells handmade wreaths, seasonal decor, gift baskets and refinished furniture, most of it built from pieces other people were ready to throw away. “You know, so often things become so disposable and to us, we think those pieces still have a lot of life in them,” Bruner said. “Don’t get rid of it. Give it back a new life. Give it a new purpose.” Bruner, whose maiden name is Carr, grew up in Chester Township. Her father, Richard Carr, was still working 15 hours a week when he died at 92. After he left her the family home, the U.S. Navy let her work remotely for a couple of years while she renovated it. She finished in a year and a half — six months ahead of schedule — and then retired. Stafford plans to retire after the first of the year. The two didn’t want to wait to open their store, so Stafford comes up to help as often as she can. They began moving into the store in late May, held a private soft opening at the end of June and have been open since July. The shop carries no bulk stock. The owners thrift, shop yard sales and buy from online marketplaces, so nearly everything on the shelves is a single piece. “When you get something in here, you

Handmade wreaths, glassware and refinished furniture fill Reimagined Decor, Gifts & More in Chester Township, where owners Pam Bruner and Martha Stafford give secondhand pieces a second chance.
know it’s going to be a one of a kind,” Bruner said. “It’s not going to be something you’re going to see 20 million of in a big box store.” That includes a garden hose wreath hung with a watering can and Halloween candy jars
made from parfait glasses turned upside down to look like skirts, painted, glittered and topped with witch hats left over from an earlier project. Stafford also crafts yard-art flowers from glass plates and saucers and Christmas trees made from stacked glass bowls. Customers who like the flowers can pick out their own glass and the owners will help with the design and seal the finished piece with epoxy. The back of the store is a workshop for furniture. Bruner pointed to a table and chairs bought “pretty beat up” and painted over a weekend. “Just because a tabletop and some chairs are beat up and scratched up doesn’t mean it’s time to pitch it,” she said. “It just means it needs some attention and love.” Refinished pieces also cost less than new ones, she added. The shop takes some consignment pieces as well and anyone wondering whether a worn piece can be saved can bring it in or send a photo.
Family Keepsakes Some of the owners’ favorite work turns family items into keepsakes. After Bruner’s father died, Stafford made Bruner’s sister a Christmas ball wreath using family ornaments that didn’t match her tree decor. “So now she has a very sentimental piece at home,” Bruner said. A framed Chesteropoly board, a Chesterland take on the Monopoly game, hangs behind the counter. Stafford’s sister, Jennifer, who lives in Texas, brought it back from her childhood home, and Bruner framed it without Stafford knowing. They dedicated it to Stafford’s mother, who died recently. The board’s cards include local businesses such as West Geauga Plaza, some still open and some long gone. “It’s a huge conversation piece,” Bruner said. Bruner credits her grandmother, a seamstress who also did beadwork and her sisters for her creative streak. Stafford’s mother was See Store • Page 5

a skilled pie maker and Stafford has always made and repaired things at home. Gift baskets were not part of the original plan. They started when Stafford paired a tray she had bought at a yard sale about a year earlier with something Bruner had just found. They have become popular. One customer recently asked the owners to arrange the gifts she had bought for a niece in North Carolina into a basket. The store also has a seating area with jigsaw puzzles, which both owners find relaxing. “If you just want to come in and visit and relax and build a puzzle and see what’s new in the store, we welcome that,” Bruner said. “We’re not just a store. We want to be part of a community.” A private room will host workshops. Bruner hopes Daisy and Girl Scout troops will use it to earn badges for a small fee, and one family of sisters and sisters-in-law has already asked to hold a crafting get-together there. Workshops will be announced two to three weeks ahead on a window flyer and so-

Halloween from page 1
He estimates he has spent about $20,000 on Halloween decorations over the years.
It Started with Frankenstein
Nerone said he has always enjoyed decorating, especially for Christmas. “I’m kind of artsy, I guess,” he said. The Halloween display grew out of his friendship with two neighbor girls, then 5 and 12, who had helped him decorate for Christmas the year before at his former home on Mulberry Road. To surprise them, Nerone bought a 12foot inflatable Frankenstein — the first Halloween prop he ever owned. “It just spiraled from there,” he said. “I became obsessed with it. I would take them shopping, and we just kept shopping and shopping. It became like our thing.” The girls, now in their 20s, remain close to Nerone. He attended one of their weddings with his children three years ago. The Frankenstein did not fare as well. Nerone put it on his roof one year and the chimney punctured it. “I wish I still had it,” he said. For years, Nerone decorated for Halloween and Christmas. That changed when COVID-19 hit and his two children were toddlers. With visits to Santa, Easter events and other activities for children canceled, Nerone and his family stepped up, adding displays for Easter, Thanksgiving and the Fourth of July, passing out candy and holding coloring contests. “For two years there was nothing for kids
to do. Nothing was open,” he said. “But they could come to our house and get candy almost year-round for all the different holidays. We did it to kind of uplift the neighborhood.” The family kept going after the pandemic ended. “We decorate year-round,” Nerone said. “It’s 12 months of decorating.” That creates a storage challenge. Decorations for five or six major holidays are packed into plastic bins and tucked into a large barn behind the house, the attic and even under his bed. “Everyone asks me that,” he said. “It gets stressful.” Nerone’s Halloween season starts as soon as the Fourth of July is over, when he begins shopping as stores put out their seasonal stock. He starts decorating the last week of August and the job takes three to four weeks when he can find time — no small task for a painter who works outdoors and said this has been his toughest year for weather. The display has been open for daytime viewing for about a week and a half. Nerone took the day off Sept. 22 to finish the lighting, which he called the hardest part. “You’re talking about thousands of extension cords everywhere,” he said. “That’s not the fun part.” Nerone and his daughter also assemble the candy bags left by the front door for visitors, a project they begin in July. “That’s like our bond, doing this together,” he said. The 12-foot skeleton remains the centerpiece, but Nerone’s personal favorite is a “Ghoul Bus,” an inflatable school bus with cartoon Draculas and other characters spilling out. His mother-in-law surprised him with it for his birthday three years ago.

“It means a lot to me,” he said. New this year is a life-size animated zombie Velociraptor dinosaur from Home Depot, which Nerone ordered in June to make sure he got one. “That is a dream come true for me,” he said. “I’ve always wanted something like that.” About four years ago, Nerone said he began dedicating something in his display to the Chesterland community and West Geauga. “I named it Skeletons in Chesterland,” Nerone said. Last year, he did a huge wrestling tribute. This year, he created a smaller display dedicated to West Geauga football.
Drawing a Crowd
In 2025, the Nerone family’s “Skeletons in Chesterland” display was featured in a News 5 Cleveland roundup of Halloween displays across Northeast Ohio. Nerone does not keep count of visitors and generally lets people enjoy the display at their own pace. But while he was stringing lights Sept. 22, “it was nonstop people coming through,” he said, including a West Geauga transportation van. Word has spread well beyond Chester Township. Nerone’s sister-in-law, who works at a Rocky River restaurant, met a customer from Avon who said they make the trip to Chesterland to see the display. Nerone has also met a visitor from Strongsville. On Halloween night, weather permitting, the family hosts a s’mores night, when visitors roast marshmallows, collect candy and wander the yard. Nerone said it draws 100 to 150 people. “What that’s turned into, for living in the middle of nowhere, is incredible,” he said. “For me, that’s what it’s about — community and getting people together.” That same afternoon, a high school classmate he had not seen in about 15 years stopped by with her son. A new family next door with two young children has also started wandering over. Nerone said nothing has ever been stolen or vandalized. The weather is another matter. “Wind is our enemy,” he said. “Rain is fine. Snow is fine.” About four years ago, 60 mph winds around Easter knocked out power for days. Nerone found half his display about a half mile down the road. Pieces sometimes blow across the street into the cemetery.

A giant skeleton climbs over the roof of a shed at the Nerone property, with a Jack Skellington face projected on the wall below. Two more skeletons hang from the siding.
That cemetery has given Nerone some of his most meaningful moments. About five times, he said, people visiting graves — usually women who have lost their husbands — have crossed the road to tell him the display brightens their visits. “That’s probably my favorite thing,” he said. “I almost break out crying when they talk.” Asked to name his favorite holiday, Nerone calls it a tie between Halloween and the Fourth of July. A youth wrestling coach at West Geauga, he builds the team’s float and drives the wrestlers in the Fourth of July parade. This year, their entry won. “That was just the biggest uplift for the team,” he said. Nerone said the family hopes to move within the next year or two to get more space as their children grow, though the housing market has made that difficult. The display will move with them. “I won’t buy a house that I can’t decorate,” he said. “We’re just going to keep getting bigger. I don’t go backwards. It’s only forward.”
