Proposed Law Would Impose Fines for Interference with Park Districts BY JOHN KARLOVEC NEWS@CHESTERLANDNEWS.COM Ohio citizens who interfere with a park district risk being fined under a proposed amendment to the state budget bill. As introduced, the proposal — HC1793 —would authorize, among other things, a probate court to issue an order preventing interference with the court’s order creating a park district. It also would allow a court to impose duties or

restrictions on a person or party who interferes with a park district’s purpose. The amendment’s sponsor, state Rep. William Seitz, R-
Cincinnati, said his proposal merely clarifies and codifies an April 2016 Ohio Supreme Court decision. In State ex rel. Chester Township v. Judge Grendell, the court unanimously held a probate court judge does not “patently and unambiguously” lack jurisdiction to issue orders attempting to correct activities by park district commissioners and township trustees that frustrate the purpose of the original probate court order creating

BY BRIAN LAVRICH SPORTS@GEAUGAMAPLELEAF.COM West Geauga Athletic Director Joe Leonette is excited to announce the long search for the next Wolverine football coach has ended. Leonette announced that former Painesville Harvey coach Brian Craemer will take over the West G program, pending school Craemer board approval. “I’m excited,” Leonette said. “He’s a great teacher. We couldn’t have gotten anyone better.” Craemer wasn’t originally on Leonette’s wish list, but the West G AD said Craemer’s name kept coming up in discussions with other coaches and ADs. “So I reached out to him and he said he was very happy where he was at,” Leonette said. Craemer talked about his feelings at Harvey and what drew him to West G. “I was very happy at Harvey,” Craemer said. “I was very blessed by that opportunity. We had wonderful student athletes and administration. But it’s exciting to get back to the county where I am from. It’s exciting to be part of a program with so much tradition.” Leonette said there were 60 applicants for the position and West G did 20 interviews. “He was my guy,” Leonette said. “I reached out to him.

Jake Curtis, right, one of West Geauga’s most experienced lacrosse players, scored a hat trick in the team’s 17-9 loss to Kenston. West Geauga started the week at 5-2 this season.
Lax Players Continue to Grow BY RICH KELLY SPORTS@GEAUGAMAPLELEAF.COM The West Geauga High School lacrosse program has been in the early growth stages for 10 years now. Growth to this Wolverines organization has been steady in numbers and competitive levels. In fact, under veteran coach Eric Steel, stepping up for his first year as head coach here, the club program is finally playing this season at a varsity level. Starting out as just a club program, with players coming from within the district playing in an intramural format, growth has been steady in numbers and competitive levels, growing finally to
the point that this season, the first under veteran coach Eric Steel with the school as head coach, the Wolverines are able to play a varsity level in a sport that is just catching on, slowly, in this area. Coach Steel knows what he is up against in playing the school’s first varsity level schedule, but the task at hand is not deterring him in any way. “I’ve had a good background with lacrosse for many years at several levels,” he said before a matchup with Kenston last week afternoon under sunny skies. “I was blessed to coach at St. Ignatius for several years before coming here to help out. It takes a lot of time and energy to form a
team and get everything in order. Lacrosse is a tough game with many different ways of playing, and when you have young kids not used to all the aspects of the game, it takes time for things to fall into place.” He added: “We’ve got some talent, for sure, but putting it all together has been an adventure at times, but the tough moments are becoming fewer and farther between. I am pleased with how the kids that are new to the game are stepping up gradually.” Jake Curtis is one of the more experienced players on the team, and having played for several seasons now, he is noticing how the See Lacrosse w Page 6

CHESTER GOVERNMENT UPDATE Trustees Meeting
Executive Session
The Chester Township Board of Trustees meeting on April 13 began with public comments and questions. A resident of Laser Drive expressed concern with the condition of the road. In 2016, Trustee Radtke and the Chester Road Department developed a five-year plan proposal to help prioritize roadwork projects with Laser slated for work in 2018. At present, the board has approved 2017 major roadwork with focus on the highest-trafficked roads first.
Trustees entered executive session for the purpose to consider discipline of a public employee.
Police Department Trustees approved the appointment of Craig T. Young to part-time police officer. Congratulations to Craig and his family.
Road Department Following a department update covering planned and proposed project work given by Terry Varner, superintendent, and Madeline Avis, cemetery sextant, several motions were considered by the board. The Arms Trucking road material bid was approved and up to $30,000 was approved for Kokosing Materials for asphalt as was 22,500 pounds of crack seal. Trustees decided to hold off on additional salt purchases and expect to participate in the upcoming state bid. Mr. Varner reviewed the current list of potential capital projects, including overhead door repair work, selling and replacing the portable asphalt heating box, sale of the Durapatcher spray-on road repair unit and a new utility trailer to replace the already scrapped service truck. Also discussed was a resident’s request to review installation of a new street light at the Mulberry and Lyman road intersection, and the need for additional summer help for the road department. Trustees approved the hire of returning seasonal employee Gar y Huston at $12.64 per hour. They asked Varner to review other applications received. By a majority vote, up to $3,000 was approved to rent an excavator while the 12year old Gradall excavator is taken out of service for a planned repair.
Football from page 1 have a single bad reference. He brings head coaching experience to the table. He has experience with the conference. To me, it was a no brainer.� Craemer, 31, led Harvey the past two seasons, going 6-4 in 2015 and 1-9 this past year. One of the things that drew Leonette to Craemer was his experience in Geauga County and in the Chagrin Valley Conference. “I’m very excited,� Craemer said. “It’s a tremendous opportunity. The administration was tremendous through the process. I’m very excited about the players, not just their talent, but dedication. I’m very excited about the community, its so football oriented. “I am very familiar with the other programs and I have a lot of respect for the other programs in the CVC. There are so many solid programs in the CVC and the area.� Craemer is a graduate of Berkshire, which is also where he started his coaching career. Following his time at Berkshire, Craemer also
Fire Department Discussion included mention that CareWorksComp, a contracted workers’ compensation service for the township, offers free online training safety training certification classes. Trustees approved $1,850 after-the-fact payments to CareWorksComp for program renewal and to Countryside Truck Service for repairs to Tanker Truck 3436.
The board approved authorization of the Chester Zoning Board to initiate zoning amendment (Z2017-1) prohibiting medical marijuana and approved advertising for applicants for an opening on the Chester Zoning Commission. By a majority vote, trustees authorized the Geauga County Prosecutor’s office to file a motion to show cause against William Godale for violating the 1982 judgment entry.

Financial Chester Township bank balances as of Jan. 1, 2017, total $3,503,853.49.
Ongoing Items Funds of $2,400 were approved for flower baskets for the township park and downtown area. Trustees Kinney, Petruziello and Radtke pledged $100 each to initiate donations to supplement the balance of costs to prepare and water the flowers this summer. In addition, $4,500 was approved for restroom cleaning services for Parkside Park. By a majority vote, $7,000 was approved for the Chesterland Lions Club for materials in preparation for building the new town hall sign and monument. Prepared by W.L. Bud Kinney, Trustee worked at Notre Dame-Cathedral Latin (freshman coach), Newbury (offensive coordinator), Ashtabula Lakeside (offensive coordinator), Kenston (quarterback coach) and Crestwood before his time at Harvey. Craemer will also teach social studies at West G just as he has at Harvey. Craemer replaces Lou Cirino, a West G grade, who left after this past season to coach at Strongsville. Cirino was 46-28 in seven seasons at West G including four trips to the playoffs. The Wolverines were 6-4 this past season. “We have the potential to be successful right away,� Craemer said. “Coach Cirino did a great job. He left the program in very good shape. I’m walking into a situation that is a very positive one.� Craemer has been more of an offensive coach during his career thus far. He was asked what kind of offense he plans on running at West G. “I believe any good coach adjust to the talent as the years go by,� Craemer said. “On offense, I like to be very multiple with no huddle, but with the intent on running the ball. I want to get downhill and be a power run team. Or at least a run first team.�

program is growing. “As a matter of fact, we lost a few experienced players from last year’s team,� Curtis said. “They had helped us still here to adjust a lot to what was going on out on the field, and we have improved a lot. In today’s game, you could see how Kenston adjusted from the first half to the second. “They put more experienced players in certain spots, especially in faceoffs after a goal. They were able to get more fast break chances from face-offs, which is important in controlling the ball.� What Curtis was referring to came after the Wolverines had battle back from an early deficit to forge a 5-5 tie at halftime. Down 31 after one period, James Tadaj scored with 1:14 left before halftime for the tie score. The second half is when the Kenston experience at the varsity level took over. The Bombers scored seven goals within a 3:13 span to blow the game open, and a West Geauga rally in the fourth period cut

into the lead a bit but not enough to forge a victory for the home team. Curtis recorded a hat trick in goals with one assist, Trent Fritzshe also had a hat trick, , James Tadaj had a paier of goals with an assist, Drew Bennet had a goal and two assists, and goalkeeper Mike Concilla recorded 13 saves. The loss drops West Geauga to 5-2 on the season. What those numbers don’t show is that they level of competition they are facing in their first season at the varsity level of lacrosse has been huge, but their skills are growing fast as well, which bodes well for the future of the West Geauga Wolverine lacrosse program under coach Eric Steel. The things that hurt them in this single game will gradually be eliminated as confidence levels and experience grow in each player. “I am proud of how we battled back tonight after that terrible third period,� Steel said. “The bottom line in this game is to learn and improve on fundamentals, and we are getting better quickly. That’s how you win games.� Believe it.

Give Your Diet a Vacation Everybody knows a big holiday is coming up. One that everyone can support as it touches us all. No, it’s not Mother’s Day or even Star Wars Day (May the fourth be with you), but International No Diet Day on May 6. It is a special day when people are encouraged to celebrate body acceptance and body shape diversity. People are encouraged to appreciate the body they have. The best way to celebrate, in general, is to order from Bada Bing Pizza. But it’s even more appropriate on No Diet Day. We all may be made in different shapes and sizes, but just about everyone loves pizza. And Bada Bing has the best pizza in Chesterland. Of course, you can also buy mom some
pizza too for that other holiday. I hear mothers like pizza. And for those planning a graduation or first communion party, remember Bada Bing does catering as well. Altruistic owner Bob Piecenski is sponsoring a contest where anyone with a catering order of $300 or more will be entered to win a onetime $500 scholarship from Bada Bing. Orders must be in by July 1. If any nonprofit group is interested in setting up its own donation day, contact Piecenski at 440-7299300. Bada Bing is located at 12617 Chillicothe Road in the Drug Mart plaza and can also be reached at badabingchester.com or followed on Twitter @BadaBingChester.

The West Geauga Board of Education recently honored the district’s Academic Decathlon team for its first place win in the Novice Division at John Carroll University. From left, standing, are: Alex Novitski, Mariana Valdez-Punales, David Dela-Cruz, Angela Volcensek, advisor Ben Speros, Principal Jay Bishop; and sitting, members of the West Geauga Board of Education: Tom Allen, President Dan Thoreson, Ben Kotowski and Vice President Thomas Phelps. [Not pictured: students Antonio Linek and Hannah Barker and board member Kathy Leavenworth.]
WG Academic Decathlon Team Applauded for 1st Place Win BY JENNIFER TURKOC NEWS@CHESTERLANDNEWS.COM The West Geauga Academic Decathlon Team members were jingling, literally, as they walked to the front of the West Geauga Schools Board of Education meeting room April 10 wearing first-place medals they won at their state competition in early March. West Geauga High School Principal Jay Bishop introduced freshman Hannah Barker, junior Angela Volcensek, sophomore Alexander Novitski, sophomore Antonio Linek, junior David Dela-Cruz,and sophomore Mariana Valdez-Punales, as they were greeted with hearty applause. Their coach, history teacher Ben Speros, also came forward as Bishop lauded the team for their recent win, placing first in the Novice Division at John Carroll University. “The competition consists of 10 events, each revolving around a theme that changes every year,” Bishop said. “This year’s focus was on World War II. Objective tests are given in math, economics, science, social studies, literature, art and music. There’s also an essay event and a speech event.” Speros said he had proudly emailed Bishop after the competition, telling him the team completely defied each expectation. In other school business, Director of Curriculum and Instruction Nancy Benincasa announced that students at Lindsey and Westwood elementary schools will soon be enjoying a new math curriculum. “This process started a long time ago and Kathleen (Cooey, the math coach for grades K12) has served as the foundational leader for this work,” Benincasa said. “She has interfaced with companies, she set up meetings and she interfaced with schools we went to visit.” Cooey also interfaced with the teachers throughout the buildings, Benincasa said, adding besides Cooey, there were three volunteers from each elementary building, an administrative representative and a middle school representative on the committee that made the curriculum recommendation.
Both Benincasa and Cooey stressed these were volunteers. “We talked to a lot of neighboring school districts to see what programs were being implemented,” said Cooey. “It just so happened that Beachwood was looking at programs, too, and had set up presentations, so a couple of us went to Beachwood for those presentations, just as, like, a preliminary round.” Members of the committee also went to Hudson because they were already using Bridges, a curriculum the committee favored. Bridges, while a small company, gave the committee a lot of access to their program, providing a link that let West Geauga access everything. After the testing, the committee announced Bridges is the program they would like to recommend purchasing, Cooey said, adding it was a unanimous decision. Cooey said the program is “hands on” and “a shift from traditional math classes with the teacher at the front of the room lecturing.” It’s focused on the process of math instead of rigid formulas and rote memorization. The students work in groups and talk to each other about how the students are solving problems, Cooey explained, adding the students will show each other how to solve problems different ways and will ask how they solved the problem and what their method was. Board member Ben Kotowski asked how teachers will measure progress when the students are working in groups. “ Teachers are consistently moving around, taking notes, a lot of checkpoints in there,” Cooey said. Treasurer Karen Penler also told board members she had some good news. “Current residents paid 99.5 percent of their taxes,” she said. This compares to the recession, when 98 percent of taxes were collected. That 1.5 percent means a lot, Penler said, adding delinquencies have gone down to $432,000 this year. “We are not increasing our taxes very much, but we are staying consistent,” she said.

All walks are Sundays, from 7:30-9:30 a.m., located where there is the best bet for birds at each particular stage of migration. The annual series casually connects birding newbies with experienced bird watchers for observation, identification and interpretation. For those newly interested in birding, Geauga Park District has planned a program called Spring Birding for Beginners on May 6, from 8:30-10 a.m. at The Rookery.

If the goal is not to quell dissent, “then that language really needs to be tightened in the statute because right now it’s unclear,� said Daniels. “It talks about the ability of the probate court to ‘impose duties or restrictions on a person or party who interferes with the park district’s purposes,’� he explained. Daniels told WKSU he could see the ACLU getting involved if the language remains as is, but said he hoped lawmakers would realize the current wording could quell dissent.
