Your Community Newspaper Since 1967 Coach Will Step Down for a Season Due to COVID By Jamie Ward jamie@geaugamapleleaf.com Before coronavirus cases in Ohio began setting records over the last two weeks, Bob Beutel had a straightforward answer when asked how difficult it was to remove himself from the sidelines as head girls basketball coach at West Geauga. “It wasn’t a tough decision,” Beutel said. Beutel, of course, knows a thing or two about setting records himself as a Hall of Fame high school basketball coach. But given his age — 70 years old — and a pre-existing condition — diabetes — the risk was just too high. “I’ve got people in my life that I thought about,” said Beutel, whose assistant coach and wife of 24 years also will take a leave of absence for in-person coaching this season. “We’ve had a lot of people around us who have died of Covid. Some other people have passed away from some other things. It validates the decision to take this seriously.” And confidence in the staff already in place for a team that went 21-4 a year ago also made the decision easier. Greg Dugger, a varsity assistant, will assume the head coaching duties in Beutel’s absence. Dugger has coached under Beutel for 15 years and was a member of Beutel’s last varsity boys basketball team at Eastlake-North High School. See Coach • Page 3
Chester Residents Speak Up Questionnaire Results Guide Planning Committee By Michael Gavin editor@geaugamapleleaf.com
Cleveland State University officials recently presented the data of the Chester Township resident questionnaire they conducted to township leaders. Of 4,724 questionnaires mailed, 1,654 were returned and validated — a 35% response rate, which was noted in the results as “excellent”
and a good indicator of “strong support and interest in the community and its future,” according to the data CSU’s Community Planning Program Manager Kirby Date and Project Manager Molly Schnoke presented to the Chester Planning Commission and Chester Township Trustees Oct. 27. The planning commission, led by Chairman Anthony Nastasi, has been meeting for over a year and
a half to identify residents’ issues and concerns as the committee developed the questionnaire. Planning commission members, township trustees and CSU worked together to formulate questions, which aimed to give residents a platform upon which to share their priorities, concerns and opinions with community leadership.

ATV Riders Trespassing Along Power Lines Cause Problems By Ann Wishart ann@geaugamapleleaf.com It would seem to be common sense to most that it is against the law to ride ATVs on private property without permission of the owner. But, apparently, a lot of ATV riders don’t consider the long strips of land under power lines on Camelot Lane in Chester Township private property. They come out from Cleveland suburbs with trucks and trailers, unload their four-wheel toys and roar along the wide spaces kept clear of undergrowth by the Illuminating Company. Larry Komidar owns two parcels on Camelot Lane. His house is on one and the Illuminating Company has an easement across his acreage next door. See Trespassing • Page 9

Coach
from page 1 Stephanie McPeek, former player under Beutel at North who also coached with Beutel at Gilmour, will be head junior varsity coach. And Kelsey Dugger, Greg’s daughter who played with Beutel for four years at Gilmour, will be the assistant JV coach. All three will work together at the varsity level. “It’s one big family,” Beutel said. Ben Stehura, second-year athletic director, said it was just a matter of looking at the recommendations and determining what was best for the West Geauga Wolverine girls basketball family. “Especially with indoor sports,” Stehura said, “it doesn’t recommend that anyone with risk factors participate. He’s an incredible coach. He’s done great things with the program. And we appreciate what he’s done. We believe in him and his staff, and we look at this as a leave of absence.” He added: “We already have the staff. We’ve just switched roles. We’ve divided the duties.”

Beutel will remain as an unpaid volunteer assistant and continue to watch film, fill out paperwork and provide the logistical support most head coaches love to move off their plates anyway. Since March 12, he ran the offseason program in the same way: arrive at the high school’s Wolvarena through the back of the building to let assistant coaches inside, unlock the front of the building, and greet players from his vehicle as they entered. Beutel said he has not so much gone to a grocery store since Ohio went into lockdown back in March. “I’m just not going to be in the gym,” he said. But, he added, “I’m really going to miss the kids, that interaction with them. We have some cool and great kids.” So long as the season goes off without any major hitches, Beutel expects the Wolverines to be an amazing team once again. “It’s an ‘oh my’ team,” he said. “Everyone is back.” The Wolverines were scheduled to open their season at Mentor on Dec. 2, but Mentor Schools paused their winter sports on Nov. 12 as the district switched to virtual learning.

Hands-On December Birding
Now through April, the park district’s Bird in the Hand Feeding Station has returned to
The West Woods in Russell Township, where visitors can attempt to hand feed birds. Time a visit between 10 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. and dress warmly. Stop in the nature center to collect some black oil sunflower seed before heading out on the Trout Lily Trail. Follow the signage to the feeding spot, where “Parker” the mannequin marks the spot. Visitors then hold out their hands with some seed and wait. Hand-feeding works best with just one or two people or a small group, like three or four. Cold days, especially in the morning, are often the best times to visit.

Survey from page 1
Residents received the packet of questions — one per household — between May and June and were asked to complete and return it directly to CSU who analyzed the data. “There were a lot of aspects that came out of the questionnaire,” Nastasi said in a follow up interview. “We were trying to get a pulse of the community.” Of those who responded, the average length of residence is 30 years and 98% own their home. The rural and small town character is very important to 62% of respondents. Interest in maintaining parks and recreation, water and air quality, schools and emergency services also ranked very high, according to the results. As for reasons for living in Chester, the top three responses were: rural atmosphere (92%), safer neighborhoods (84%) and larger lot size (79%). The most frequent comments to how the township can improve the quality of life include improving traffic flow, slowing down speeders, installing signals and turning lanes, and adding bike paths and sidewalks. Looking to the future, 51% of the respondents said preserving open space and green space in Chester is highly important, while 61% responded that minimum lot sizes to maintain the semi-rural character of the township is important. Forty-eight percent said the recycle park is extremely important while the issue of supporting a single hauler for waste removal had 41% in favor and 30% against. As for possible new facilities in Chester (only 27% to 40% respondents ranked them), the following were suggested: • New township complex 63% • New police station 36% • New fire station 28% • New town hall 18% • New road department building 15% Respondents suggested community enhancements should include revitalizing the commercial district, streetscape enhancement on state routes 306 and 322, park and recreation space, a community center, sidewalks on routes 306 and 322, and biking and hiking trails. “A comprehensive plan is a community strategy to establish appropriate future policy for land-use related subjects such as zoning, site planning, design standards, types of

land uses, housing, parks and recreation and infrastructure. Chester Township’s last plan was completed in 2009,” CSU officials said in the results document. CSU had also posed the question, “Based on the results of this questionnaire, do you support the township exploring options for developing a comprehensive plan?” The responses were 53% yes, 22% no and 25% not sure. On the topic of becoming a city, 68% responded “No” to supporting the township researching the benefits and costs of becoming a city. Some of the questionnaire results concluded the small town and rural atmosphere of Chester is very important to respondents. They are also more than satisfied with the police, fire and EMT services, and believe roads and the recycling center need attention. Respondents believe comprehensive planning is good, but requires further discussion. Nastasi said residents raised many interests and concerns in their responses. “Some of those may be a little easier to move forward. It’s going to be of interest to the folks on the committee to see what we want to move forward with,” he said. “That could be a variety of things.” The committee chair added there is a possibility other committees may be formed as result of the questionnaire. “We may say, ‘Wow, there is a lot here; maybe other committees need to be formed,’” Nastasi said. The main concern is to recognize “the things that rose to the top of the questionnaire results,” he added. “What do the residents of Chester really want to see,” Nastasi said. The planning committee will look at the results and takeaways, and advise what the focus and next steps should be, Chester Township Trustee Chairman Ken Radtke said in a follow-up interview. The planning committee will be meeting Nov. 24 via Zoom to discuss the results. “From a residential perspective, people like their quality of life here and don’t want things changed,” Radtke said. “Beautification of the town center received quite a number of responses. Maybe the next thing would be to reach out to the commercial property owners and business owners and ask them their opinion of what their struggles are to get some insight on some things we could possibly do.”

West Geauga Schools School Material Distribution The staff at Westwood Elementary School prepares materials for students and families that have elected to participate in the online school model this fall. It is an extremely important part of the virtual learning process. “Primary students (kindergarten and first-graders) have different needs for virtual learning than the older students do. Every two weeks, parents of kindergarten and first-grade students are committed to a supply pickup and drop-off. The students turn in written work and pick up new work for the next two weeks. This is for two reasons. First, part of primary education is learning the actual art of writing, including the skill of holding a pencil. Second, while they are learning tech skills, it is still challenging for them to navigate the computer through Google Classroom. Hats off to our parents of our

Chester Government Update The Chester Township Board of Trustees meeting on Nov. 5 began with approval of minutes. In road department business, the following expenditures were approved: $12,880 payable to Chardon Oil for 7,000 gallons of gasoline; $3,800 to Lake Erie Construction for guardrail repair on Cedar Road; $5,000 to Herda’s Truck Repair for vehicle maintenance; $6,000 to Cuyahoga Materials for asphalt; $4,000 to N&N Services for underground storage tank system maintenance;
and $5,400 to J&L Door for installation of a new truck bay door. In fire department business, wage increases to $23.35 per hour were approved for full-time firefighters Frank Virant and Mike Fulton upon successful completion of required training. Trustees thank them for their service to the community. In police business, Chief Mark Purchase was authorized to sell a 2013 Dodge Charger with 137,917 miles on govdeals.com. Fiscal Officer Patricia Jarrett provided
the board with recommendations for computer upgrades resulting from a security audit conducted by the Ohio Township Association Risk Management Authority (OTARMA). Town hall roof repairs in the amount of $1,950 were approved, as was the sale of eight cemetery deeds. The board continued discussion regarding spending for available funding COVID dollars with no actions being taken. As the township approaches the end of the fiscal year, a motion was approved transferring monies from various fund accounts into other accounts to enable spending to continue from the various funds. It is a routine occurrence as the board and fiscal officer, in establishing budgets at the beginning of each year, try to appropriate monies as close as possible to the planned spending rather than simply overfund each account. Trustees and Jarrett met in a special public meeting at 7 a.m. Nov. 12 to approve the following COVID-related expenditures: $1,629.96 for non-contact thermometers;
$1,881.65 for binder lifts for patient transfer to EMS cots; $8,000 for personal protective equipment, disinfection services and supplies; $2,634.67 for wages for a quarantined employee; and $7,525.33 for replacement of carpeting with tile. In addition, they approved $157,574.74 for wages for public safety services (police). The money represents the remaining CARES Act funding available to the township. Through guidance from Geauga County Prosecutor Jim Flaiz, the township is able to allocate CARES Act funds to cover wages and expenses of township safety forces. Over the last several years, expenses for the police department have exceeded revenue and these monies will help offset some of those costs. An updated Certificate of Estimated Resources was provided by the Geauga County Auditor and approved by the trustees.

Trespassing from page 1
Despite the “No Trespassing” signs he has posted across the dirt road to the giant steel towers carrying the power lines, people continue to use the property for recreation, he said in a recent phone interview. “It’s been going on quite a few years, but it’s ramped up quite a bit recently,” he said. “I don’t give anybody permission to go on my property. It’s a liability. The insurance company won’t even cover it.” Komidar said the Chester Township police have been good about coming when he calls about the trespassing, but unless he can get the ATV drivers to stop and listen, there is only so much officers can do. Chester Police Chief Mark Purchase said trying to chase an ATV down the power lines is risky. “It’s not worth wrecking a police car,” he said, adding it is a long way to go around the block to try to head them off at the next street. As Komidar said, once the riders see a cruiser on the road, they can just turn around and speed back the other way. He said he keeps the front part of his property under the power lines mowed and some of the joy riders tear across the lawn, as well, turfing it in response to his signs and, when he manages to get them to stop, his explanation about the law and property rights is not always well-received. “They ride donuts — they think they should have free access,” Komidar said. Usually, when asked, adult riders will leave, but teens can be confrontational and other damage has been done to properties belonging to those who object. One driveway was spray-painted and nails were scattered across another homeowner’s access, he said. His signs are often torn down and a neighbor’s fence was destroyed by an ATV, Komidar said. Once, when he managed to find the trespassers, he saw the ATV trailer had a license plate from Mayfield Heights. Another time, when a truck got stuck under the lines, the trespassers were from Gates Mills, he said. Komidar said he is concerned someone will get hurt while racing around the rough terrain. “The trails are not safe. You never see these kids with helmets on,” he said, adding they shoot across Camelot without

has saved approximately $34,000 in salaries in the fiscal office. A portion of that money - $14,000 - was allocated to replace tile flooring in the uncarpeted sections of town hall. At the end of the meeting, an executive session was held discussing employment and personnel matters. No action was taken and upon return to public session, the meeting was closed at 8:46 a.m. Submitted by Ken Radtke Jr., Chester Township Trustee

checking for traffic. A retired law enforcement officer, Komidar said he was involved with the Cuyahoga County Sheriff’s Explorer program and he enjoyed working with youth. But when he does try to talk calmly and reasonably to the ATV riders about the possible consequences of trespassing, he is rebuffed. “One said, ‘I’m gonna burn your house down.’ He was 15,” Komidar said. Purchase recommended property owners not confront ATV riders, but if someone can take video of the activities or pictures of license plates, the culprits sometimes can be tracked down and warned. “Video helps, especially when things get damaged,” he said, recalling how the greens on a former golf course were torn up. “It’s all evidence a law enforcement officer would want if they were developing a case.” While property owners often look the other way when ATVs roar past, Purchase urged people to call in and report the incident. Even if the riders can’t be caught in the act, there may be other actions taken to discourage them from their illegal activities, he said. It’s not just utility easements that attract ATV riders. Any large area that isn’t observed or patrolled may well develop ATV trails winding through the brush, said Roy Podojil, a member of the Russell Township Citizens Park Board. The power lines extend through Russell and provide access to 125 acres of township trustees-owned property located just south of the north township line. Podojil said the five parcels are heavily wooded and the township has left them fallow for decades. “People assume we abandoned it,” he said. Neighbors tend to treat the acreage as extensions of their back yards, Podojil said. “There’s been a substantial amount of encroachment,” he said. The park board wants to establish minimally-invasive community programs for the woods, which has some interesting history. The Western Reserve Land Conservancy has an easement on the property and also doesn’t want the green space to be abused by ATVs or be a dumping area for lawn refuse, Podojil said. “It really needs to be controlled,” he said adding, as a green space, the boundaries of the park need to be respected.
