The renovation of the Chester Township road garage was put on hold during a special meeting Oct. 17, said township Trustee Ken Radtke.

The smell of pumpkin and cranberry is in the air which means one thing — the greatest of sports traditions, the West G Varsity Hockey Turkey Bowl, is back for its 23rd anniversary!
On Thanksgiving morning, the puck will drop at 10 a.m. sharp at Gilmour Rink. Doors open at 9 a.m..
This year’s match is even more exciting as a former West Geauga hockey star, Travis Wright, is now the head coach of the varsity team. The much-improved undergrads have confidently predicted a comeback win against the aging alumni!
Keeping with tradition, the ceremonial first puck will be dropped by West G principal, Ryan Patti, who was a star member
on the inaugural West G Hockey team, two decades ago!
Charlie Butters, longtime “voice of the Wolverines” will be on the microphone and Dick Maynard, a co-founder of the team and now in his mid-eighties, is hinting he may strap on his skates and take a shift or two!
Finally, in what has become a holiday tradition, former team mom, Linda Campbell, will belt out the National Anthem to kick the festivities off!
For those interested in playing, please reach out to Wayne Walters 4400-954-2479 or Bob Goehrke 440-759-0683.

Congratulations abounded at the Chester Township Trustees Oct. 3 meeting, with two police officers promoted, a new officer hired and a fireman awarded a medal.
The promotions of Andrew Centrackio and Matt Less to sergeants were first on the agenda.
Chester Police Chief Craig Young recalled Centrackio and Less being brought onto the force around the same time.
“These two gentlemen were sworn in together and now tonight, they’re being sworn in as sergeant together, which I think is pretty awesome,” he said.
Young called them the finest officers he’s worked with in his career.
“The character, the integrity, the profes-
Kleinrichert, who hails from Indiana, has two associates degrees and four and a half years in law enforcement experience. He has previously worked in Oak Harbor and the Lorain County Metroparks.
“I really feel like we lucked out when we found Chris,” Young said, noting his past agencies highly recommended him. “Really what gets me going and what got me excited about hiring Chris was his excitement. You know you hit it well and you’re hiring somebody who wants to be in a place when you can judge on
how excited they are to come work for you.”
who was unaware that the house was on fire,” Shaw recalled.
fighter paramedic Bobby Wolf, who received a medal of valor.
Chester Fire Chief William Shaw began with a reflection on Wolf’s character.
“Whether on-duty or not, firefighters don’t hesitate to stop and help, to jump in, at emergency situations. It’s in our blood to help people, whether we have the tools and equipment we normally work with or not,” he said. “Bobby Wolf is an excellent example of what a firefighter is.”
It was an incident Sept. 5 that ultimately garnered Wolf his award.
“While driving with his family to his daughter’s soccer practice, Bobby noticed a house on fire in Auburn Township. Bobby stopped, evaluated the situation and entered the home, finding a resident on the first floor,
Wolf got the resident to safety and was informed of another resident on the second floor, where the fire was, Shaw continued.
Wolf re-entered the home without protective equipment and went to the second floor, closing the door to the burning room and helping to limit the spread of fire.
When the Auburn Township Fire Department arrived, Wolf assisted in deploying fire hoses.
“Bobby exhibited bravery and courage that exemplifies the fire service, along with his training and experience, to achieve a successful outcome for the two residents,” Shaw said. “We congratulate Bobby Wolf for his actions and bestow upon him the Chester Township Fire Rescue medal of valor for heroic actions.”

capital project funds inside the township fire, police, road and general funds, as recommended by the Geauga County Auditor’s Office.
Trustees voted to place more than $52,000 in an account in the general fund, more than $138,000 in an account in the road fund, more than $43,000 in an account in the fire fund and more than $43,000 in an account in the police fund, according to the meeting agenda.
During this year’s Geauga County Budget Commission hearings, Auditor Chuck Walder strongly recommended trustees in all townships earmark monies within the four funds for capital improvements.
The commission has been critical of the amounts some townships have been carrying over from one year to another for projects that did not get done. The capital improvements funds should help resolve that ongoing issue, Walder said.
Radtke said the auditor and the Geauga County Prosecutor’s Office helped create the legislation needed for Thursday’s action.
Trustees also discussed how to comply with Ohio House Bill 47 that requires automated external defibrillators be accessible in all schools and parks, Radtke said. Making an AED available for emergency use in the public area would also expose it to vandalism or theft, he said, adding there is one at the town hall.

The newlyweds moved out to Chesterland and raised their family of three children. Sandy found joy in
loving her grandchildren.
Sandy loved to camp and was a Girl Scout leader for 13 years.
