EDITOR’S NOTES
Old man winter will not let loose of us this year.
As of this article, we were still having lows in the 20's at
night. All of the roads in the State, County and
Township have taken a pounding for the second winter
in a row. The frost has been reported as far down as 4
feet where there was no snow to insulate the roads and
ground. Until the frost is completely gone, we will not
be able to evaluate the damage done to our roads.
property. A parking area will be developed on the west
side of the property with the access road from Clark
road to allow residents access to enjoy the beach area
that has been created. The costs will be covered by the
grant we received from the State of Ohio.
I would like to thank the folks at both the
District 12 and the local Painesville ODOT offices for
helping us with our salt supply. The local salt company
refused to sell us more than 100 tons and at $131.00 per
ton. ODOT allowed us to get salt from them for about
$40.00 less a ton than we could buy it locally. Again,
our thanks to them for helping to keep our roads safe.
Spring clean-up is scheduled for Saturday, May
9th . Universal Disposal will be conducting the one day
clean-up. We will also be collecting tires (with no rims)
at the Service Garage located at 4720 Webb Road.
Like everything else this spring, the new Dairy
Queen is far behind schedule due to the weather. Work
inside has continued over the winter but all of the
outdoor siding and brick, including repairs to the
pavement, cannot be completed until the weather
warms.
Work will continue on the shoreline project this
spring as clearing continues on the North part of the
Repairs to drives and other general work in the
Cemetery will begin as soon as weather permits.
Perry Township is celebrating its 200th
anniversary on July 1 st this year. Mark your calendars
now to come out and celebrate this Bicentennial Event
on Tuesday, July 14 th from 6-9 pm down on the patio
of the Perry Community Center. The evening will
consist of food and various forms of entertainment
including a performance by Dennis Ford from 7-9 pm.
Watch our web-site www.perrytownship-lake.com for
more details as the date approaches.

PERRY TOWNSHIP PARK
Spring is here and the tulips are trying to come
up from the mostly frozen ground. No matter what
the weather, our spring flowers insist on showing
their faces to remind us that warm weather is ahead.
We are looking forward to another wonderful
summer season! The mud will dry, the tables will be
placed, the restrooms will open and the boat dock will
be in place - maybe later than usual, but it will
definitely happen. Break by the Lake will open full
time during Memorial Day weekend. New items are
on the menu this season, including healthy fare.
Can’t wait to see familiar faces and to meet new
people.
PERRY COMMUNITY
FITNESS CENTER
If you haven’t
had an opportunity to
stop in and see our
new equipment, do it
now! The weather has
broken and we are
ready to get those
summer bodies back.
While you are in, feel free to take a
complimentary class (1 complimentary class per person)
and give our group fitness classes a try. We have Boot
Camps, Zumba, TBF, Yoga and Spinning to try. Come
find your “FIT.” Hope to see you soon.
Gate and/or boat ramp passes will be available
May 1st. The cost of a new card is still $25.00 with a
renewal fee of $5.00. Don’t forget to pay the renewal
fee, otherwise your existing card will not work. A
new card sensor box will be installed before the May
1st opening and your cards will work properly. Please
be patient! If you have questions, please call the Park
office at 440-259-5957.
The pavilion is still available on a first come,

On behalf of Perry AMVETS Ladies Auxiliary,
our most sincere thanks to everyone who contributed to
the success of our 18 years of the Rock-a-Thons to

PERRY CEMETERY
Our first wave of foundations has been poured and we anticipate another pour at the end of April/ beginning of
May. If you’d like to make sure that monuments are placed before Memorial Day, please have your orders placed for
foundations by the end of April. Please feel free to check with us to make sure we’ve received the foundation request
from your monument company. Again, you can ask for Sandi, Karen or Michele when calling 440-259-5140 and we’ll
be able to tell you.
Please remember when planting around monuments or markers, shrubs or trees should be of the miniature or
dwarf variety and plantings should not extend beyond 12 inches of the headstone or marker. This enables us to mow
and trim in an efficient manner and accomplish burials in the next graves without disturbing your landscaping. If you
have questions, please feel free to call me at 259-5140. If your landscaping extends beyond 12 inches around
headstones, you run the risk of cemetery personnel having to dismantle your work when a burial occurs in an adjacent
grave.
Remember, too, with Memorial Day coming, that we have the Veterans’ Monument at Center Road Cemetery.
Veterans’ bricks can be ordered at a cost of $40 each to commemorate military service. Please ask for Sandi at the
Township office if you’d like more information on this.

PERRY HISTORICAL SOCIETY

The old saying...”Spring Has Sprung” is really true only when it becomes a reality. The calendar
confirms the date, but we have yet to see Mother Nature confirm it, temperature wise. Most of the snow
is gone, true, so let’s just hope that by the time this newsletter is received, the warmth of the spring
weather will be in the air for all of us to enjoy.
With spring comes regular visiting hours at the Perry Historical Museum from noon until 4:00 p.m. on the
first Saturday of each month, starting Saturday, April 11th . Take time to visit to see some of the changes that have
been made and look through the many photos and interesting information you will find displayed on the past history
of Perry. Special visits are welcomed throughout the year and can be arranged by leaving a message on the museum
phone, 440-259-4541, or by contacting museum co-curator Carol Coatoam at 440-413-4126. Members or
volunteers are always needed to help at the museum during visiting hours, and also at the society’s workroom at
4261 Manchester St. which is staffed each Tuesday morning from 9:30 until noon.
The Perry Historical Society will again be awarding a $1000 scholarship to a 2015 graduate of Perry High
School. The scholarship identifies the qualities of scholarship, volunteerism and community involvement. It
encourages high school students to take an active role in their community, service organizations, school activities,
and other organizations contributing to the spirit, health and welfare of the Perry community. Applications must be
completed and returned to the high school guidance office not later than May 1, 2015. Check with the guidance
office for complete information.
Linda Barrett, who is also one of the Perry museum co-curators, has volunteered to replace Karl Locke as
one of the three representatives from the Perry Historical Society to serve on the Perry High School Distinguished
Hall of Fame Selection committee. The other society members on that committee are Phillip Haskell and Mary L.
Platko. For qualifications, the nominees to the DHOF shall be alumni of Perry Local Schools 15 years prior to the
selection date, who have distinguished themselves at a high level of achievement in their particular field of study,
life’s work, or community service in areas such as, but not limited to, the arts, business, education, government
service, community service, science and technology. Individuals can also be nominated posthumously. The
committee always welcomes applications for eligible nominees. Applications can be obtained at the Perry School
Administration office or from the Perry School website at www.Perry-lake.org. For further information, contact Sue
Tetonis, 440-259-9302 at Perry High School.
The Perry Township Board of Trustees will be celebrating Perry Township’s bicentennial on Tuesday, July
14, 2015. The celebration is scheduled to take place at the Perry Community/Senior Center on Perry Park Road with
area officials and dignitaries in attendance. Music will be provided by popular singer performer, Dennis Ford. The
200 year celebration will feature historical displays by the Perry Historical Society, prizes, food, refreshments and
fun for everyone to enjoy.
A little bit of Perry history - Perry Township was under the jurisdiction of Geauga County when it was formally
organized on July 1, 1815 which was then allotted 25 square miles. But the borders of the township changed when Perry
Village consisting of 2 square miles was established in 1913 and North Perry Village that consists of approximately 5
square miles was established in 1925, leaving the entity of Perry Township now with 18 square miles. When the Perry
Nuclear Power Plant came into existence during the 1980's, officials of the three Perry entities unsuccessfully attempted to
organize into one, with the possibility of becoming Perry City. But with the abundance of property taxes flowing into the
area, most certainly for North Perry Village who had the Perry Power plant site within its boundaries and the least to gain
from merging, that plan did not materialize. One can say that with the coming of just that one business, the Perry Nuclear
Power plant has changed the face of Perry. It is no longer a community that is known solely for its farmlands and nursery
fields throughout the Perry area. Developers have since taken advantage of the third generations selling off acres of land
making way for the many developments and condominium sites, and also in construction of many new homes now
commonly seen throughout the area. In spite of it all, Perry remains three quaint little entities in this corner of Lake
County, a place where one can still safely walk the streets at night and raise a great family. It is worth keeping that little
piece of Perry history in mind!

PERRY JOINT FIRE DISTRICT
The annual pancake breakfast is fast approaching. I hope everyone can attend on Sunday, April 19 th from
9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at St #1, 3742 Center Rd. This is a wonderful event to attend and enjoy good food,
fellowship and meet the firefighters that serve our community. I would like to take this opportunity to thank
John Platko of Xpress Printing for donating the banner for our Pancake Breakfast that will be displayed the day of the
event.

BEEP!! BEEP!! BEEP!!... smoke alarms: A sound you can live with. Did you remember to change your smoke detector
batteries? Your fire department urges everyone to test their smoke alarms once a month and replace the batteries at least
once a year. Place a smoke alarm on every level of your home and inside every bedroom and areas outside sleeping areas.
Go to www.nfpa.org and click on Safety Information.
The Perry Safety Forces present: Pre-Prom Mock Crash - The Perry Joint Fire District, along with the Perry Village
Police Department, will be staging a pre-prom mock crash on Friday, May 8 th at 12:45 p.m at Perry High School near the
bus loop. The presentation is a pre-prom drama educational lesson to vividly remind our students of the dangers of
drinking and driving, texting and driving and the importance of good decision making. The mock crash comes to life and
shows the students in “real time” what happens after a car rash to victims who are involved and trapped in the wreckage.
On May 8 th, those victims will be played by four (4) of their own classmates who will be referred to by name, along with
their injuries. The event comes to life with a student placing a call to 911 as police officers, fire trucks and Metro Life
flight all arrive on scene to care for the injured. This vivid mock crash is not meant to scare or gross out anyone, but to
present the facts and truth about drinking and driving, driving and texting, and making good and responsible decisions.
We are grateful to the Perry Public Schools for allowing us to present this very important pre-prom safety lesson.
Get your own Perry Fire Departm ent T-shirt - The Perry Joint Fire District has Pirate Fire T-shirts available for
purchase by the community. The logo features the Perry Pirate M ascot, dressed in fire gear, holding a fire hose and
nozzle in the center of the Maltese cross that is burning. The logo reads: “Perry Fire”, with the words: Honor, Courage,
and Pride under the logo. The shirts can be purchased at station #1 on Center Rd, and will be available at the Fire
Department pancake breakfast on April 19 th. We have youth sizes through Adult 4X. All profits will be donated to
support the firefighters community fund and the shirts can be viewed on the fire department web site at www.perryfirelake.com on the bottom of the home page. Remember to “LIKE” us on FACE BOOK.

THE PERRY CENTER
We hope you had a blessed Easter! Because of the generosity of our fellow Perry citizens and seven of our local
churches; Faith Baptist, First Baptist, Lake Erie Church of God, New Life, Perry Christian, Perry United
Methodist and St. Cyprian, and the Women’s League; we were able to provide 49 Easter baskets to children of our
clients that are 10 and under in age. In addition, we gave hams to each client family that came in during March. These
hams were provided by the United Way of Lake County and Salvation Army. We also thank the volunteers who
individually provided items and packed the baskets. We would be lost without them!
Don King, father of our former co-executive director, Donna Anderson, died on March 10 th. Memorial donations were
made to The Perry Center. We, along with our board and clients, would like to thank all of you who have supported the
Center with your memorial donations.
Harvest for Hunger is in full swing. Please support this effort by the northeast Ohio food banks, which includes the
Greater Cleveland Food Bank through your donations. We are pleased to announce that The Perry Center was awarded a
grant from the Greater Cleveland Food Bank based on the donations made to this program during 2014. Your donation
does help local people. HEAP ended on March 31 for the 2014/15 winter, but due to the continuing cold temperatures,
the need is still there. Dominion’s Energy Share, supported by your donations on your gas bill, still continues for our
clients in need.
Our hours are Tuesdays from 9 to 12 and Fridays from 1 to 4 at 4261 Manchester Road. Contact can be made by mail at
P.O. Box 446; by phone at 259-3332; or by email at [email protected]. You can visit our website at
www.perrycenteroflakecounty.org or like us on Facebook.

PERRY WOMEN’S LEAGUE
The Perry Women’s League would like to share our recent activities and functions with you. On March 20th,
our annual Dodgeball tournament took place in the Perry Middle School gym and included 6 th , 7 th , and 8th graders
competing for the Dodgeball champion title. The middle school students had a blast and the amount of family
members that came to support their children was amazing! The PWL would like to thank all of our volunteers,
including middle school staff members who all helped to make this event a success for the students!
Thank You to everyone who attended the Perry Women’s League Annual Bunny Lunch on March 28th. This
year was a sold out event! The weather was chilly but nice and sunny. The kids kept busy with crafts, petting live
bunnies, face painting, getting their picture taken with the Easter Bunny and a stage show that included magic.
Parents had fun trying to win the 50/50 raffle and 30 items in our Chinese Auction. We sell a total of 300 tickets and
have them available for sale at the Township office at least two weeks before the event. We cannot guarantee if any
will be left at the door, so remember to buy early next year!
Attention Perry High School Seniors: The Perry Women’s League will be offering a $500 scholarship to one
Perry High School graduating student seeking post-secondary education and displaying exemplary citizenship
through community service. Applications can be picked up in the guidance department at the high school or you can
print one out from the PWL page located under Community groups on the school website. Deadline for applications
is Friday, April 24th . Our Scholarship will be presented during the Senior Breakfast May 22nd .
The PWL would like to send out a big THANK YOU to all who donated outerwear this fall/winter. Your
donations allowed us to help several families during this extremely harsh winter season. Clothing donations are
greatly appreciated and welcomed during our open hours. Unopened packages of undergarments and socks are
always needed. Our 2015 open hours are the second Friday of each month from 1-4 pm. If you are unable to
bring your donation during this time, please contact us to make other arrangements.
Community Green Day will take place on Saturday, April 25 th. This event will be managed by the Perry
High School students; The Perry Service Learning Class & the Recycling Club. The PWL will provide lunch for the
volunteers during the event. Please keep this date in mind and consider helping the students clean up our
community!
With warm weather hopefully around the corner, many of us will be starting to clean out our closets and
garages. Please keep the PWL in mind while you are “spring cleaning”. The Annual Perry Street Sale takes place in
August every year and we will be collecting donations for this event. Household items, knick-knacks, books,
puzzles, toys, purses/book bags, tools, furniture, and such are all items we will be accepting. Shoes and clothing
items should be donated to the clothing room as indicated above. If you have anything you would like to donate
please contact us.

community? We are currently accepting membership applications. For answers to any questions, or to get a
membership packet and meeting information, please contact us at [email protected].

ZONING BOARD REVIEWING TOWNSHIP’S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
Recent changes in the ownership and the
probable use of several large parcels of township land
has led to a review of the Perry Township
Comprehensive Plan. The review is being performed
by the Perry Township Zoning Commission with
assistance from George Smerigan of Tactical Planning,
LLC. The plan was last reviewed and updated in 2009.
To date, the board has read and discussed a
presentation on the considerations for reviewing and
updating comprehensive plans and has reviewed and
discussed an updated land ownership and land use map
prepared by the Lake County Planning office.
The plan review will continue to be an agenda
item at monthly Zoning Board meetings until the
process is complete. The public is always welcome to
attend. Zoning Board minutes can also be followed
through the township’s website.
