Dear West Geauga Residents: I am sending this letter to you as a response to persistent chatter regarding the recently-ended consolidation study of the West Geauga Local School District and the Newbur y Local School District. That study began in June 2016 and ended prematurely in March 2017. Despite its termination last month, the study remains the topic of ongoing comments by the Newbury board and administration in emails, public meetings, and the press. The West Geauga board and administration were deliberately

Wolverines Grind Out LateInning Win on Road
Imagine Chester Township without the steady stream of traffic going down Mayfield Road. Yes, there was a time when Chester Township was nothing but dirt roads, often impassable, and farms — farms with no easy way to get their produce to the city. The Chesterland Historical Village, at the corner of Caves and Mayfield roads, recreates this bygone era. And on April 2, the village held an open house from 24 p.m., with the focus on the

Wolverines Shut Out Twice by Rival Chagrin Falls

The Chagrin Falls baseball team showed its depth and dominated from the beginning as the Tigers finished off a sweep of rival West Geauga with a 13-3 win in six innings Thursday at West Geauga High School. The Tigers sent eight batters to the plate in the first inning as they continued their hot start to the season, improving to 10-1 and 5-0 in the Chagrin Valley Conference. The Wolverines fell to 2-8, 2-3. Nick Paros started for the Wolverines and had a rough time as he faced only five batters. He gave up two hits, walked two and hit a batter while giving up four runs before being replaced by Jack Dorsky. The big blows were RBI
singles by Erik Wilson and Colin Kennedy. Wilson finished 2-for-3. “I got down 0-2 early (in the count) and I’ve been struggling recently,” Wilson said. “He threw a curve and hung it. It was nice to see a line drive. “It does a lot for your confidence. When one guy swings it, the whole team swings it.” Kennedy had an excellent game as he was 2-for-3 with two RBIs to go along with a superb start on the mound. Chagrin Falls coach Michael Sweeney was happy to see the early lead. “That’s our phrase, get them early and often,” Sweeney said. “We got them early, but not often.” Kennedy (2-1) pitched all six innings, giving up three runs on See Baseball w Page 5

Wolverines Grind out Late-Inning Win on Road BY RICH KELLY SPORTS@GEAUGAMAPLELEAF.COM
After the West Geauga Wolverines softball team tallied a quick first inning run on doubles by Amy Sparent and Kayla Lorenzo, it appeared West G was going to take early momentum and make short work of the Geneva Eagles. But West Geaugea in the next inning gave Geneva three runs and a 4-1 lead heading into the fourth inning in this battle between Chagrin Valley Conference foes. West G finally got some offense going again, tying the game with a 3-run fifth inning, before the teams went toe-to-toe into the ninth inning A trio at the top of the Wolverines batting order — Amy Sparent, Torrie Gall, and Kayla Lorenzo — manufactured a decisive run in the ninth frame for a 6-5 West Geauga victory in blustery conditions in Geneva. “Today, I think we played very well defensively while producing some timely hitting to win the game,” West G coach Bob Leppla said. “Geneva’s always tough, so we knew coming in that this would be a good test for our defense especially, and it was. The girls made
Baseball from page 1 six hits with no walks and six strikeouts. He faced one batter above the minimum through five innings. “I felt very good,” Kennedy said. “I felt fresh. And I got a nice little cushion (going up 4-0). So I knew I could make a mistake.” Kennedy was making his first start in Ohio after the Tigers returned from their annual trip down south to start the season. “It’s been almost two weeks,” Sweeney said. “He got a little tired, but they put good
big time plays at big times of the game for us.” Keying the game winning ninth inning was Sparent, who scored three runs and had two hits in the contest. Her one out single came on a line drive to left field, and she was alert on the bases to move up on a wild pitch from Geneva pitcher Brittany Puluzne. Gall sent a shot into the hole at shortstop as the next hitter, sending Sparent to third base. Gall stole second base on the first pitch to Lorenzo, putting runners on second and third with but one out. Gall had a trio of hits while scoring twice and driving in a run in the game. Lorenzo, who also had three hits, including two doubles and three RBIs, sent a cannon shot on the ground toward the hole between short and second base, which was fielded cleanly but left only a play on Lorenzo at first, with Sparent scoring to break a 5-5 tie. That ground ball was just enough. “I was pretty nervous coming up in the ninth inning,” Lorenzo said. “ I just wanted to focus on doing what I know I can do, and I was able to get the job done.” Sparent was thrilled after the contest as the frigid weather along the lakeshore began
to take its toll on the players. “This was just great, we all just love to play this game so much, we like to have loads of fun playing, and playing as a team,” she said. Coach Leppla, who sees his team move to 6-1 on the season and 5-0 in CVC action, also sees his team improving where and when it is needed. “Geneva’s always tough, and recently we’ve had some lean seasons here, so it’s a good time for the girls to step up in a big game for us,” he said. “We only start one senior, so getting the girls to trust in themselves, to stay focused, and to believe in each other the whole way is a huge part of the learning process for all of them.” While Sparent, Gall, and Lorenzo combined for eight of the 12 West G hits, scored five of the runs, and drove home four runs, the pair of errors in the first inning which accounted for the big start for Geneva could have put the Wolverines in a bad way, but they didn’t. Ending the fourth frame for West Geauga was centerfielder Carla Cavasinni, with a diving catch as she ranged into the hole in left center with two out and a runner on first
who would score had the ball gotten beyond her grasp. Instead, it was just the third out. After a wild pitch from winning pitcher Mia Minello made things slightly more sticky, a short popup down the first base line drew nearly all the infield on the right side for West G together going for the ball. As Lorenzo, Minello, and first basemand Lindsey Stanforth converged on the ball halfway down the first base line, Lorenzo reached up to snare the ball for the final out to secure the win. Tension was high as the Eagles were threatening to spoil the late rally for the Wolverines, but Lorenzo would not be denied. “As I was going for that last ball, my voice would not do anything for me,” she said. “I know to call for any ball I can reach, but I just could NOT get the words to come out, but I held on to the ball.” The play could have been a calamity for the Wolverines, but head’s up determination and total perseverance from all the West Geauga players assured that no matter had the ball been dropped or booted, there were enough people around the ball to make that final grab. It’s no wonder the Wolverines are still unbeaten in CVC action.
swings on the ball. He got it a little up. “He’s throwing harder and did a good job of keeping it down. He threw strikes.” Kennedy recorded most if not all of his strikeouts with his slider. “That’s my go-to pitch with two strikes,” Kennedy said. Dorsky did an excellent job of putting out the fire and keeping the Wolverines in the game. He retired seven straight and 12 of 14 through the top of the fourth inning. Unfortunately for West G, the Tigers got to Dorsky in the top of the fifth. With the score still 4-0, the Tigers again sent eight batters to the plate, scoring four
more runs to push their lead out to 8-0. There were three walks in the inning along with RBI singles by Kennedy and Jack Reboul, who went 2-for-4. Dorsky pitched five innings, giving up four runs on five hits with three walks and three strikeouts. The Tigers have the luxury of having three star pitchers. Wilson and Kwasny are the Tigers’ No. 1 and No. 2 starters. They helped lead Chagrin Falls to the Division II regional final last season. “Obviously, when Colin’s pitching, I play third base,” Kwasny said. “Coach Sweeney has helped a lot with that. You have three of
us. Our depth is a huge advantage.” Kwasny also had a big day at bat as he went 2-for-4 with a RBI. The Tigers put the game away in the top of the sixth inning with another five runs to stretch their lead to 13-0. The Tigers used 10 batters during the inning including six straight pinch hitters to start the inning as Sweeney went to his bench. The Wolverines clawed back for three runs in the bottom of the sixth led by Stephan Javorek’s two-run double. Max Schweiger also had a RBI ground out. West G’s Joey Pasquale was 2-for-3 with a run scored while Charlie Koach had a double.

The Chester Township Board of Trustees meeting on March 30 began with approval of $10,000 for aggregates from Ontario Stone and up to $14,700 for the purchase of gasoline. At 7:05 p.m., a bid opening for the furnishing and delivery of materials for maintaining Chester roads was conducted, with the information being forwarded to the road superintendent for review. Next, bids were opened for the 2017 landscaping and maintenance of Parkside Park. The bids ranged from $13,075 to $18,774. Chester resident and county commissioner Walter (Skip) Claypool provided information and commentary regarding storm water sediment and erosion control associated with ditch maintenance. Related to this, a portion of Chester is in an urban zone subject to some storm water rules, including use of best management practices for minimizing erosion. Members of the Chester Road Department will be attending a training event hosted by the Geauga County Engineer on this topic on April 21. A motion was approved to advertise for summer help for the Chester Road Department. Chester Cleanup was set for June 3 from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. The board entered into a Resource Rental Program agreement with the Geauga County Engineer for the Chester Road Department.
Permanent appropriations for Chester Township’s 2017 fiscal year were approved. The total amount of monies budgeted is $6,698,505.41. Ongoing Items Because of historical ground water contamination, the Ohio EPA has proposed conducting soil vapor intrusion sampling at the police station and road department. Trustee Radtke’s review of the project indicates it may be favorable to allow this sampling to be conducted by the Ohio EPA rather than contracting with a private firm. The board is moving forward with the purchase and installation of cameras for the township campus. Trustee Kinney advised the board that road department mechanic Steve Voigt is obtaining quotes for a backup generator for town hall. Trustee Petruziello is in the process of updating various procedures and documents associated with Parkside Park and provided the board with a summary of 2016 expenditures. Township employees will use an internet based program FormFire to prepare information as they prepare to obtain updated quotes on healthcare insurance. An executive session was held to discuss employee promotion and/or compensation and discipline. No actions were taken and the meeting was concluded.

At the March 31 special meeting, routine financial transactions, including approval and signing of checks and EFT direct deposits, was completed. Pattie Group (aka Landskeepers) was identified as the successful contractor to maintain Parkside Park at a cost of $13,075.
Chief Wargelin informed the board of the opportunity to purchase a demo model power cot and load system with full new system warranty directly from Stryker rather than the EMS Squad manufacturer that is currently on order and save several thousand dollars.

Superintendent from page 1 maintain restraint in my discussion of its status. However, repeated misleading comments, attributed to representatives of the Newbury board and administration, rob me of that privilege. I cannot and will not remain quiet while the integrity of the West Geauga Board of Education, the treasurer, and mine are being publicly attacked. These are the indisputable facts. West Geauga does not need to consolidate with another district to survive. Some Newbury residents are vehemently opposed to their district’s consolidation with any other district. Many factors need to be studied prior to an interdistrict consolidation. Some are based in logic and others are steeped in emotion. Consensus cannot always bridge the gap. At the March 13, 2017 meeting of the West Geauga Board of Education, our board voted 5-0 to end the aforementioned consolidation study. I introduced the resolution to end the study with the words: “I am recommending that the West Geauga Board of Education ends its study of a potential territory transfer of the Newbury Local School District to West
Geauga Local Schools. Although the preliminary information obtained from the ongoing study of such a transfer indicates that it could yield significant benefits, such transfers require the support of both affected entities. The Newbury board has formally expressed its opposition to the territory transfer by a 4-1 vote this morning. Therefore, the expenditure of further West Geauga resources on the study would be unwise. I have prepared a resolution to place before the board that would end West Geauga’s continuation of the territory transfer study and I am asking the board to approve that resolution tonight.” In the ensuing weeks, rumors have circulated regarding the specifics and course of the consolidation study undertaken by West Geauga Schools and Newbur y Schools. Much of what has been publicly shared is untrue. Fortunately, misleading information rarely withstands scrutiny. With that awareness, I am comfortable making the statement that both Newbury and West Geauga arrived at the mutual decision to end the consolidation study, but we did so for significantly different reasons. The West Geauga Board of Education remains dedicated to the best interests of the students and residents of our district. Thank you for your continued support of your schools.

interurbans was the improvement of roads and the arrival of affordable, mass-produced cars, according to the Encyclopedia of Cleveland History. Many of the interurban cars met a sad fate after they were abandoned. After taking out the machinery, the wooden cars were burned. Some of the cars were sold to Canadian railroads, according to the historical society. The Chester Township Scotland Station was used as a garage after the line’s demise, but was eventually restored and moved to the Chesterland Historical Village, where a piece of the original track lays in front of it, Philpott said. The Thayer General store stood for many years in its original spot next to Bloom Bros., but, when scheduled for demolition, was taken down piece by piece and reassembled in the historical village not too far from the Scotland Station, according to news reports at that time. The Chesterland Historical Village houses many of Chester’s original buildings, such as the school house and an early home. The museum itself has a library and is filled with pictures, many in thick photo albums, and models of trains and track layouts. Obsolete? Perhaps, but there are those who argue that a mass transit system like the interurbans would still be useful today. The historical society meets the first Thursday of every month at the museum at 7 p.m. Visit the society’s website, trainweb.org/ceihsm, for more information.
from page 1 Cleveland and Interurban Historical Society and Museum, housed in the basement of the original town hall. The electric railroad known as the Cleveland and Eastern Electric Railway became a lifeline between the farms of Geauga county and the bustling city of Cleveland, according to the historical society. The interurbans, as they were popularly known, crisscrossed northern Ohio and provided economical and efficient access between Cleveland and the countryside. The routes stretched from Toledo to Akron to Middlefield, with two stops in the Chester area, according to the historical society. The interurban stopped in Scotland, behind the Thayer General Store, which was located next to Bloom Bros, said Dick Philpott, president of the Cleveland and Interurban Historical Society and Museum. It also stopped at the Chesterland Caves, where a resort stood, which, according to Philpott, “had a dance floor and picnic tables.� Construction of the Cleveland and Eastern Electric Railway started in 1898, Philpott said, adding the line ran from 1900 to 1925. Electricity was supplied by a motor in the Gates Mills car barn, which ran through an overhead wire to the cars, he said. In 1900, there was a massive fire in the Gates Mills car barn, which destroyed several cars and locomotives and the barn itself, according to the historical society’s informational booklet. To make matters worse, “the track was poorly maintained and there were many accidents,� Philpott said, adding “drunks would

lie down on the tracks� and at least one man was struck and killed by a train. A major accident occurred when two trains collided head on near Scotland Station, according to the booklet. Both cars burned to the ground, but, fortunately, there was no loss of life. Yet the interurban served a valuable purpose, Philpott said. It brought milk and produce from Geauga county farms to the city of Cleveland, and mail and other goods from Cleveland to the countr yside, he said, adding city dwellers took the train to enjoy the country and those living out in the country took the train to see shows and shop in the city. Groups would even charter the
trains for outings and picnics. So what brought the era of the interurbans to an end? Philpott maintains “General Motors, Firestone and Sohio bought up many of the interurbans and replaced them with buses.� With the advent of buses, the three companies had an outlet for their vehicles, tires and fuel, he said.
