Chester Voters Opt for a Clean Slate Newcomers Mazzurco and Rogish Elected to Trustee Seats By Gwen Cooper Editor@geaugamapleleaf.com In an upset election, Chester Township voters ousted two incumbent trustees in the Nov. 7 general election. According to final unofficial results of the Geauga County Board of Elections, Robert Rogish received
36.44 percent, or 2,036 votes, and Joe Mazzurco garnered nearly 20 percent, or 1,104 votes, to win the two open seats. Another challenger, Patricia Jarrett, received 971 votes, or 17 percent, of the ballots cast, also topping incumbents Ward “Bud” Kinney and Michael Petruziello.
Kinney received about 15 percent of the vote with 864 ballots and Petruziello trailed with about 11 percent, or 613 votes. “I think the community is looking for a fresh start,” Rogish said. “I am humbled with the support I received. I’ve sat in nearly all of the township meetings this year and
have a good sense of the job that needs to be done.” Reached by phone Tuesday night, Mazzurco said the residents felt left out of the decision-making process and they wanted to be represented by people who were more active in the community. “Rogish is a good guy and we will work well together,” Mazzurco said.

WG Officials Scratch Heads Over Levy Failure By Jennifer Turkoc News@chesterlandnews.com West Geauga Schools was delivered a blow Nov. 7 when its 2.75mill, five-year renewal levy failed at the polls by 134 votes. According to the final unofficial results of the Geauga County Board of Elections, 2,677 people voted for the permanent improvement levy and 2,811 voted against it. In a telephone interview Nov. 8, West Geauga Schools Board of
Football Coach Out After One Season
By Brian Lavrich sports@geaugamapleleaf.com
West Geauga High School chose not to renew the contract of football coach Brian Craemer after just one season. West G athletic director Joe Leonette said Craemer was told on Friday and the job was posted publicly on Monday. “At the end of each season, we evaluate the entire program,” Leonette said. “We felt it was in our best interest to part ways. There are no hard feelings. “We’re always evaluating. It took a lot of time and thought and meetings. It was a process.” The Wolverines went 3-7 this season. They played four playoffs teams and six teams with winning records. Craemer, a Berkshire graduate, replaced Lou Cirino, a West G alum, who had a record of 46-28 in seven seasons leading the Wolverines including four trips to the playoffs. See Coach • Page 11
Education President Dan Thoreson summed up the levy’s failure by saying, “Perhaps we didn’t as a school board do an adequate job of informing the public of exactly what we wanted to accomplish and why those funds were needed.” “That because it’s one pot, if you will, we’ll have to look at some changes in what we’re doing as far as probably staffing and our longterm goals for our buildings,” he said. Thoreson pointed out the school
district’s buildings are aged and are going to need some repair. “This has been a very generous community and I think if they had a better idea of where these funds were going and what we were using them for, we might have had a different outcome,” he said. “I don’t know that we did (promote the levy) adequately to begin with and I’ll take responsibility for that.” Thoreson said as a board, they will look at the district’s budget. “We have commissioned some
firms for a long-term facility plan,” he said. “We’ll work with the funds the district has given us and make it work. I think that will feed into if we decide to go back to the voters and sort of do a better job of informing them of what we want to do and/or if we go in another direction.” He said he has no idea what the facility recommendation would be. “I don’t know if our facilities we have today are going to be adequate,” Thoreson said. “Because of See Levy • Page 5

Gattozzi & Son Funeral Home Hosts Grand Reopening
Submitted A few months ago when Hurricane Harvey hit the coast of Texas, it left a lot of devastation and destruction in its wake. Next came the earth quakes, then more hurricanes and even now, there is still Red, Wine & Brew – Chesterland understands what it’s like to get your world turned upside down. After getting its roof put back on, cleaning up the damage inside the store, revamping the entire 6,000-square-foot space and reopening in June, its staff knows what it feels like to have to start over. As a result, Red, Wine & Brew Owner Sam Shah came up with the idea to host a fundraiser to support the American Red Cross’s Disaster Relief efforts. He wanted to do something to give back because of what the store and the employees went through the past several months and the toll it can take on a business and all its affiliates. “I wanted to do something,” Shah said. “So we contacted the American Red Cross to see if anybody was doing something in this

Take a Break from the Kitchen Thanksgiving is just around the corner and many families will be having people over not just for the holiday, but also for an extended period of time. Most people love turkey, mashed potatoes, cranberries and the rest of the traditional food that many of us eat on Thanksgiving. But, what do you eat before Thanksgiving? The night before Thanksgiving has many people running around trying to get everything ready for the big holiday the next day. Why not make things a little easier by pre-ordering some BadaBing pizza? Why have to worry about making dinner the day before Thanksgiving? You put so much effort into the big Thanksgiving meal, take some of the heat off by pre-ordering some of that delicious BadaBing pizza.
Maybe start a new Thanksgiving family tradition by sitting around a large BadaBing pizza on Thanksgiving Eve. Try the Cowboy or Buffalo Chicken or maybe the Meat Monster. That way, on the day after Thanksgiving the family can fight over turkey leftovers or BadaBing leftovers. Although, BadaBing pizza is so amazing there rarely are any leftovers. So make sure to put your pre-order in for the day before Thanksgiving to BadaBing. That way you can save yourself some time and hassle while being thankful that BadaBing is easily accessible by being located right here in Chester. BadaBing is located at 12617 Chillicothe Road in the Drug Mart plaza and can also be reached at 440-729-9300, www.badabingchester.com or followed on Twitter @BadaBingChester.

“I think my involvement with the school, the turf committee for the football field and the Chesterland Lions Club helped win votes.” Regardless of the outcome, Kinney said it has been a great opportunity to serve as a trustee. “It’s unfortunate that there were negative ads and letters distributed targeting certain candidates and robo calls from a ‘Bob Patterson’ making negative allegations,” he said. “If Bob Patterson exists, he is not related

sales from the night of the fundraiser will be donated to the American Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund. Alex Bossard, wine manager, thought an evening at the store tasting different beers from the states and wines from Italy would be something everyone could enjoy. Bossard constructed the tasting into different stations so the staff could explain the selections and answer any questions in a more intimate way. “I want people to be exposed to the great wines that Italy has to offer,” Bossard said. “All the wines we will be tasting pair excellent with all the different types of holiday food.” The food for the tasting will be provided by Solo Vino, Vinifera, Devil’s Backbone, Danny Boy’s and Guido’s Pizzeria. And no fundraiser is complete without prizes. With your ticket stub, you will have a chance to win fabulous door prizes. Additional tickets can be purchased the night of the tasting. Vickie Moore, tobacco manager, went above-and-beyond in the local business involvement category to make sure everyone in the community had a chance to help out. “In Chesterland, we are a team and we all help each other out,” Moore said. “I figured I would go around on my own time and see who would want to help us.

He added, “I mean certainly, the community has spoken through their voting and that’s what a democracy is all about.” In a Nov. 9 email, Superintendent Richard Markwardt said the failure of the renewal means the district will need to prioritize its capital projects in terms of critical need and address the most serious needs first. “Some needs will have to be postponed indefinitely,” he said. “I can’t explain why a permanent improvement renewal would fail unless voters do not believe that the money is needed for capital improvements. I suppose that the doubters will have to see evidence of that fact to be convinced.”

Letters to the Editor Solving Recycling Problem The Geauga County residents who ran the “Recycle Right” advertisement and the unidentified author of the submitted article “Illegal Dumping Continues” published on Nov. 1 are wrong-headed. The problem is NOT that people are illegally littering or dumping. The problem is that they are allowed to do it. No amount of residents tattling on fellow residents or the installation of monitoring cameras and equipment will solve the problem. If you want the problem solved, there are two practical solutions: 1) shut down the Recycle Park, or 2) hire an attendant to inspect and approve all material brought to the Recycle Park. If the Recycle Park was attended and the open hours reduced to three or four days, such as Thursday or Friday through Sunday, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., then all littering and dumping would be impossible and thus eliminated. The crimes that Chester Township are allowing to be committed are defined in O.R.C. section 3767.32 (littering) and O.R.C. section 3734.03 (open burning or open dumping), and apparently, according to Ohio Revised Code the police must investigate such crimes. I know for a fact the Chester Township police do not care about such crimes and will not investigate them. Should someone be accused of committing such a crime, then before penalties could be assessed they would have to be prosecuted. Do you think the Geauga County Prosecutor and courts want to be burdened with such crimes? Let’s just stop allowing the illegal littering and dumping in the first place. Problem solved. Jim Walker Chester Township
Creating a Positive Environment I’m adding my voice to the chorus of people calling for diversity training in WG’s curriculum. Jennifer Turcok’s article in the Nov. 2 issue of the Chesterland News highlights the urgent need for such education. I am deeply saddened to hear what Debbie Green’s son has experienced in his own community. Ms. Green’s son, along with all the other children in our community, deserve the best education WG can offer. To achieve this goal, it is important to create a positive environment where students are respectful of different backgrounds. However, this responsibility should not fall only to teachers, administrators and the school district. Communities as a whole must want to implement a diversity program in the local schools. I believe in the decency of my neighbors in Chesterland and I believe together we can create a more respectful, welcoming environment for everyone.
To that end, I would like to suggest a parent/ community group to discuss this. Please join me at the WG library on Dec. 2 at 11 a.m. I will be near the circulation desk. And I look forward to beginning this work with you. Heather Fisher Chester Township
Transition of Leadership Thank you to the voters of Chester Township for electing me to be one of your trustees. I appreciate the overwhelming support both in the voting booth and over the past several months. Thank you also to all the other candidates who showed the desire to serve our community. Thank you to friends, family, and supporters for everything, especially to my wife, Amy. I look forward to working with current trustees, fiscal officer and department heads as the transition of leadership takes place, and then the team that will take Chester into the next four years. Bob Rogish Chester Township
Thankful for Trustee Service First, to the voters of Chester Township, thank you for voting and thank you very much for your strong support of our Fire/EMS services with the levy renewal. I would like to publicly thank Trustees Mike Petruziello and Bud Kinney for their service as Chester Trustees the past four years. While the outcome of the recent election was not what they had hoped for, I appreciate their willingness to serve a second term and the positive campaigns they ran. Externally, it may not appear so significant, but internally, through the efforts of Mike and Bud there have been significant improvements in how we manage our staffing, budgeting and planning. Their ability to civilly engage in public discourse, while at times robust, is important to effective, open government that the people of Chester deserve. Chester Township is a better place because of their service and I personally and publicly thank Mike and Bud for being a key part of that. Ken Radtke Jr. Chester Township Trustee

How Exercise and Weight Loss Can Save Your Aching Knees
By Dr. Adam M Cramer, PT, DPT More than 250 million people around the world suffer from painful knee osteoarthritis and joint pain associated with the knees. Their ability to walk freely is impacted, decreasing their joy in moving for fitness and limiting their experiences. How can they be helped? The formula is simple, even though it is tough to achieve. They need to exercise and lose weight. Evidence-based research has consistently returned to this finding. For example, a study headed by Dr. Stephen Messier at Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, NC in 2013 and published in the Journal of the American Medical Association showed that when diet induced weight loss was combined with exercise, participants who completed the study experienced a 51 percent reduction in pain on average. The study involved 454 overweight and obese adults over an 18 month period. They were given a goal of losing at least 10 percent of their starting weight. Besides eating a nutritious diet, they had to exercise one hour three times a week. The average participant lost 23 pounds. Patients who combined both diet and exercise had less joint pain than those who did one or the other. “We are not certain why the combined diet and exercise intervention was superior to either diet or exercise alone,” Messier said. “It may be that there is a psycho-physiological effect of exercise on the central and peripheral nervous systems.” He noted that most of the patients saw a marked improvement in pain and function in six months or less. Based on the study, he concluded that “the best recommendation for long-term symptom reduction in overweight and obese persons with knee OA is intensive weight loss combined
with low to moderate intensity exercise.” This study followed an earlier one in 2012 led by Nienke Paans involving 35 people who participated in an eight-month program of exercise in combination with weight loss. In that case, participation in the combination program resulted in a 32.6 percent improvement to self-reported physical function after eight months. The researchers concluded that they now had preliminary evidence that this combination treatment is effective in people with hip OA. Could exercise alone help? One 2002 study by Tufts University doctoral student Kristin Baker concluded that it could. Patients with joint pain participating in an exercise group had on average a 71 percent improvement in knee extension strength in the leg they had deemed the most painful. Self-reported pain and physical function improved by 30 percent and 38 percent respectively. At our clinic, we continue to advocate for both weight reduction and regular exercise as a means to reducing joint pain. We know that extra weight heightens the risk of knee osteoarthritis. We also know that exercise strengthens the body. The combination of losing weight and monitoring your diet is still the best way to start down the road to helping your aching knees. There are many ways to go about trying to accomplish this and it is easier said than done but it’s simple. Find the motivation, don’t lose sight of your goals, work smarter and not harder and stay patient. High intensity interval training and open chain strengthening are to two easiest ways to accomplish weight loss and joint pain reduction and are actively practiced at MyoFit Clinic in order achieve desired results FAST! Dr. Adam M Cramer, PT, DPT is a licensed doctor of physical therapy, owner of MyoFit Clinic in Chardon/Middlefield and is a avid health and fitness enthusiast. Please stop by the clinic for a consultation today!

National Merit Commended Student
West Geauga High School Principal Jay Bishop announced that Chloe Lemieux has been named Commended Student in the 2018 National Merit Scholarship Program. A letter of commendation from the school and National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC), which conducts the program, was presented by the principal to the scholastically talented senior at an all school assembly. About 34,000 commended students throughout the nation are being recognized for their exceptional academic promise. Although they will not continue in the 2018 competition for National Merit Scholarship awards, commended students placed among the top 50,000 scorers of more than 1.6 million students who entered the 2018 competition by taking the 2016 Preliminary SAT/ National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT). “The young men and women being named Commended Students have demonstrated outstanding potential for academic success,” commented a spokesperson for NMSC. “These students represent a valuable national resource; recognizing their accomplishments, as well as the key role their schools

Choir Performs at Monsters Game
Class Act, West Geauga High School’s show choir, performed “The Star Spangled Banner” prior to the Cleveland Monsters hockey game on Oct. 28. West Geauga Principal Jay Bishop commented, “The group looked and sounded great under the direction of Mrs. Melanie Kennedy. This is the second year in a row that Class Act has been invited to sing the national anthem at a Monsters game. I am certainly proud of this talented group.”

Gardening
The Perennial Gardeners recently painted pumpkins for Home Delivered Meals.
Perennial Gardeners of Chesterland, Gardening and More Gardening chores have slowed with the end of the growing season, but that has not stopped the Perennial Gardeners from pursuing community projects. Their meeting on Oct. 25 was spent painting fanciful pumpkins donated by Patterson Fruit Farms. The pumpkins accompanied Home Delivered Meals by the Geauga County Department on Aging volunteers in hopes of eliciting some smiles and good cheer. The decorative pumpkins are expected to adorn tables through the holidays. The only question in doubt would be who got more out of the fun project - the creators or the recipients. The Perennial Gardeners membership is open to all Geauga County residents. The next PGC meeting will be Nov. 15 at 6:30 p.m. at the West Geauga Middle School when the gardeners will be making mini holiday
Coach
from page 1 Cirino left West G to take over at Strongsville. “The season didn’t go how I wanted it to as far as wins and losses, so it was disappointing in that way,” Craemer said. “As far as coaching, I came in and felt very fortunate to meet such great new families and players. I was very fortunate to be there.” Craemer said he will remain with the school as a social studies teacher. “I want to state very clearly how thankful I am to coach football at West Geauga,” Craemer said. “I am thankful to members of the community, who were so kind to us. We met so many great kids and outstanding people.” Craemer came to West G after coaching Painesville Harvey for two seasons. The Red Raiders went 6-4 and 1-9 in Craemer’s two seasons as coach. “Obviously, hindsight is 20/20,” Craemer said. “You want to go back and correct mistakes, it’s human nature. Unfortunately, that’s not how life works. You take all the in-

I worked as hard as I could.” The timing was not great for Leonette as far as looking for Cirino’s replacement either. “We’re already ahead of the game compared to last year,” Leonette said. Leonette said the search for a replacement has already begun as he’s received more then 20 applicants as of Tuesday afternoon. He said a teaching position could also be available for the next football coach. “We are looking for someone to run with our program and to get it back to where it was,” Leonette said. “We’re looking for a motivator on and off the field.”

Chester Government Update The Chester Township Board of Trustees met on Oct. 26. Meeting minutes from Oct. 12 meeting were approved. Copies of minutes are available on the township’s website: www.chestertwp.org.
Road Department Road Superintendent Terry Varner gave a brief update on status of the department.
They continue to prepare for winter and continuing with other road maintenance activities as the weather allows. After an executive session, the board moved to hire Anita Matic as the administrative assistant for the road department. Also, the board moved to advertise to hire a new road superintendent, as Mr. Varner after more than 30 years of service to Chester Township is retiring. Trustees offer sincere thanks and appreciation for the many roles he has filled for Chester throughout his three-plus decades of service. Anyone interested in the position may visit the Chester Township website at www.chestertwp.org/jobs for more information. The submittal deadline for the position is Dec. 1 at 3 p.m.
Fire Department
The board agreed to trade in the 2005 GMC Canyon chase vehicle to offset the cost of purchasing a new vehicle. The board accepted an excellent offer of $4,000 from Junction Auto. The net cost for a new 2018 GMC Sierra will be $22,880.
Police Department
Trustees recognized the retirement announcement by Sergeant John Barco, with nearly all of his 26 years of public service spent as a Chester policeman. They are thankful for his service and dedication to the community. With Sergeant Barco’s retirement effective Nov. 30, the board also took action to move Officer Zach Mullins from part time to full time, effective Nov. 20. A motion was also approved to amend a prior motion, clarifying the wage step classifications for officers Craig Young and Mark Rich. Snow tires were purchased from Kolsom Tires in the amount of $1,545.68.
Old Business
The policy manual has been sent to the township’s HR consulting firm to incorporate board review and comment and trustees hope to finalize the policy by yearend.
