Chester Township residents Donna Lauerhahs, her husband, Eric Custis, and their son, Sam Custis, enjoy creating holiday centerpieces at Geauga Park District’s annual Greens for Giving event Dec. 6.
Holiday Spirit Sparkles Inside The West Woods
By Rose Nemunaitis editor@karlovecmedia.com The West Woods Nature Center’s Oak Room filled with the heartfelt ambiance of the holidays Dec. 6, highlighting the true spirit and meaning of the season. The fresh-cut scent of evergreens mixed with joyous conversations as participants celebrated Geauga Park District’s 12th annual Greens for Giving event.
“The event has become an annual holiday tradition for our county … with neighbor truly helping neighbor,” GPD Special Events Coordinator Holly Sauder said. “It is a make and give event. Participants come to experience the fun of creating something special and for the feeling of making a difference for their community. People are often looking for ways to give back at this time of year and Geauga Park District is glad to host
Warm wishes for a
Merry Christmas and a joyous

such an opportunity.” The popular event, held across four sessions, focused on a 2025 goal of creating 320 centerpieces — 220 for Geauga County Department on Aging’s home delivered meals and 100 for recipients of the Geauga Veterans Food Pantry. The centerpieces have gone to the department on aging since 2015 and the pantry since 2019. See Spirit • Page 5
Beagle Chester Wins #1 Dog Contest By Emma MacNiven macniven@karlovecmedia.com Lindsey Elementary School fifth-grader Elana Trentanelli recently won the annual #1 Dog Contest for an essay she wrote about her funny, friendly beagle named Chester. The contest is facilitated by Geauga County Auditor Chuck Walder, who asks children from across the county to write an essay explaining why their dog is the best. On Dec. 10, Elana and Chester celebrated their win during a presentation at Lindsey Elementary School
“Chester is the best because he can cheer anyone up! Whenever you are sad, he will sit with you, which makes most people feel better and happy,” Elana said in her essay. “Other times, when I’m sad, Chester gets the zoomies, which takes my mind off of being sad.” Elana’s father, Nick Trentanelli, said he is really happy for her. “We're happy (with) the timing of getting (Chester) because when we went into the shelter to get him, there was somebody who walked in 15 seconds after us and asked to see the same dog,” he said. “So yeah, so we're very excited. We love Chester very much. He's the best
dog that me and my wife have ever had.” Also attending the presentation were Fiscal Office Manager Pam McMahan, Chief Compliance Officer and Administrator Kate Jacob, Dog Warden Matt Granito, Russell Township Fiscal Officer Karen Walder and Rescue Village Executive Director Ken Clarke. This year, the contest had 37 entries, McMahan told students. “They were from every school across the county, including some See Dog • Page 4

Granito also explained the importance of dog licensing — placing a labeled dog tag on a dog’s collar. “If your dog gets loose and runs down the street and you don't know where it is, we get called out (with the tag),” he said. “We can actually bring the dog back to you or call you up and say where the dog is. So, it's very important to keep that tag on it.” Dan Reich’s class has had three or four contest winners in the past eight years, Chuck said. “By far, his class has produced more winners than any other class in Geauga County,” he said. Typically, the Walders will present the winning teacher with a $250 check to go toward classroom items. “Because this class has won so many times, we wanted to make this gift special,” Chuck said. “So, my wife and I decided we're going to double that amount.

So, while you decide, I’ll move on to the best part of my day, which is catching up with my dog!”

from page 1 Chester Township resident Donna Lauerhahs, a volunteer driver for the department on aging’s home delivered meals, participated along with her husband, Eric Custis, and their, Sam Custis. “Sam has joined me a couple of times for his high school service hours and plans to use Greens for Giving toward his service hours, as well,” Donna said. “It’s fun both making these beautiful centerpieces and delivering them to our county’s seniors, who appreciate this special act of kindness during the holidays. I like being part of the community of people who help others in our very own community.” The family are strong supporters of GPD programs and parks year-round. “We have been able to do things we never would have been able to do on our own, such as kayaking at Lake Kelso with a naturalist,” Donna said. “Speaking of naturalists, they are fun, friendly and incredibly knowledgeable. Every single one of them seems to have their dream job working for Geauga parks.” Sam said he wouldn’t have even known he liked archery or kayaking until he tried them through the park district. “Some of the things I value the most in life are my sense of purpose, connection with others, kindness, health (including mental health) and contentment,” Donna added. “Serving Geauga County’s veterans and seniors taps into all of these values in one way or another. I feel like I really make a positive impact in their lives in such a simple way. Sometimes, it’s the little acts that let them know that people care.”

Geauga Park District volunteers Sarah Smith, left, and Doug and Jan Hodakievic help spread holiday cheer and goodwill during Geauga Park District’s Greens for Giving event Dec. 6.
Newbury Township residents David and Lauren Harth enjoy the event so much, it has become a holiday tradition. “It’s so much fun,” David said. Sauder expressed gratitude to Bob and Amy Rogish, of Rogish Farm in Chester Township, for donating the evergreens that
make the program possible. The farm has been partnering with GPD for 10 of the program’s 12 years. “It’s such a feel-good program that brings joy into the homes of Geauga County seniors,” Amy said. The Rogishs donate greens from cut-off
boughs, trees that just don’t meet cut-yourown standards and extra tips of branches from wreath-making. “The Christmas tree is the center of the home this time of year and some folks don’t have a real tree inside,” Bob said. “The volunteers who put together the centerpieces are very talented and turning the piles of greenery into a beautiful centerpiece will add the evergreen scent and festive spirit to the recipient’s home.” The smell of fresh evergreens puts everyone in a happy holiday mood, Sauder added. It takes a crew of dedicated park volunteers to make the event possible, she said. “The outdoor crew of Brad Sauder, Doug Hodakievik and Matt Smith cut the evergreen branches down, working outside no matter the weather. (The) indoor crew of Jan Hodakievik, Cindy Coffey, Sarah Smith, Karen Shisila and Mike Hurt help sort the greens, assist visitors in making the centerpieces, pack the finished projects for delivery and ensure the event runs smoothly,” Sauder said. “Talented volunteers Jane Albert, Elaine Carter and Karen Shisila lend their skill in the months before the event by making the bows for each centerpiece.” Greens for Giving is Sauder’s favorite event of the year. “I look forward to seeing the community come together to brighten the day of someone else,” she said. “Everyone in attendance arrives in a good mood and leaves in an even more joyful mood. We never meet the final recipients of the centerpieces, but the department on aging and the veterans food pantry share the joy that the greens are so appreciated and treasured by those who receive them. That's what makes the event so special.”

Obituaries Linda A. Leonard
Linda A. Leonard (nee Hrusch), 63, passed away on Nov. 21, 2025, in Cleveland, Ohio, leaving behind a life full of creativity, faith and unforgettable stories, all of them entirely Linda. Born March 15, 1962, in Cleveland, Linda graduated from West Geauga High School and later earned her degree in Marketing and Graphic Design from Cleveland State University. She headed to Los Angeles after college, where she built an accomplished career in product development and strategic marketing. Linda had a rare talent for spotting ideas before they existed and bring them fully to life. She held multiple global patents, founded her own diaper-bag line, Ima Rose-N- Bloom, and published two books under the pen name Beatrice Warner, with two additional novels nearly complete. Linda approached life the way a gifted storyteller approaches the page—with wit, drama and a sparkle in her eye that made you lean in closer. She had a laugh that filled the room and a warmth that made space for everyone around her. Whether in reminiscing about her Californian escapades or putting her signature care and attention into a hearty Bolognese, she made a mundane day feel special.
Her greatest joy was being a mother to Alec (27) and Ryanne (22), who were the heart of every chapter she lived. She also cherished her first bird, Percival, family bird, Taffy, and caring for Frankie, the family dog. Her unwavering faith grounded her and we take comfort picturing her greeted with the words she held close: "Well done, good and faithful servant; enter into the joy of your Lord." — Mathew 25:21 Linda was the beloved wife of the late Lloyd. She is survived by her parents, Louis and Dolores (nee Perozak) Hrusch; her sisters, Carrie (Jim) Sprouse, Annette (Dean) Alcott and Jennifer Hanson; her nieces and nephews, Parveen, Michaela, Rachel, Alexa, Russell, Samantha and Dylan; and Bill Cloonan, her companion in life. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in her name to your local Humane Society. Please meet for a Mass of Christian Burial at 9 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 20, 2025, at St. Anselm Catholic Church, 12969 Chillicothe Road, Chester Township. Family will receive friends to pay tribute to and celebrate the life of Linda at DeJohn Funeral Homes & Celebrations Center, 12811 Chillicothe Road, on Dec. 20, 2025, from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Entombment following at All Souls Cemetery in Chardon Township.

Onlookers view displays for Geauga Park District’s “The Forest is Calling and I Must Create” show in April 2024.
Park District’s ‘On the Wing’ Art Show Set to Fly in 2026 By Emma MacNiven macniven@karlovecmedia.com Artwork celebrating birds, insects and all things that take to the sky will fill The West Woods Nature Center next year as the Geauga Park District prepares to open applications for its “On the Wing” community art show in early 2026. “(This is) a community art show where we invite artists in the Northeast Ohio community to bring their artwork to The West Woods (Nature Center) and we will display it for a few months,” said Holly Sauder, Geauga Park District events coordinator. “There's always a theme with our community art shows and (for) this one … flight is the inspiration. So, all the artwork will feature some kind of nature in the air, in flight.” The theme must be the main focus of the artwork, Sauder said. “We want a picture of a bird with a tree in the background, not a tree with a bird in one little section,” she added.
The theme is chosen based on its correlation to the park district, Sauder said. “The last community art show was trees, it was all about trees,” she said. “(It’s) just something that connects to our focus and our mission as a park district and what we do to preserve nature and the natural spaces.” Applications are open for all ages, including a children's category. All types of media including sculpture, carvings, photos, paintings and fabric art will be accepted, as long as it falls under the theme, Sauder said. Applications will be accepted online from Feb. 12 to March 12, 2026. Sauder said she hopes to contact artists of their acceptance immediately. Accepted artwork can be dropped off March 16 and 17. Pieces will be on display at The West Woods Nature Center from March 28 to July 26 next year, Sauder said. “We’re keeping it up for a good long time … so people aren't hampered by late, snowy Marches,” she said.
