Vandalism at Community Church in Chester

By Jamie WaRd Jamie@KaRlovecmedia com

The Community Church of Chesterland was vandalized over the weekend by what church officials described as a Molotov Cocktail, according to a church Facebook post.

Chester Township Police released a statement that said at least one incendiary device had struck the exterior of the church, located at 11984 Caves Road, resulting in very minor damage.

“No portion of the structure appeared to have ignited; however, scorching was noted on the building’s exterior,” according to a prepared release by Chief Craig Young. “Officers also noted that one of the church signs had also been damaged. Several items of evidentiary value were located at the scene, and subsequently secured

No Pushovers At West Geauga

By Rich Kelly spoRts@KaRlovecmedia com

In his first season leading the Wolverines on the baseball diamond, Coach Derek Buell was dealing with youthful players in a tough league who were still early in the learning process for both the game and what he would bring as coach.

Finishing with a 5-18 overall record, including 0-10 in the CVC Valley division, the Wolverines took their lumps.

This new season brings a totally different outlook for the team, though, and a packed practice gymnasium on a cold spring afternoon, with more than 40 players taking their hacks from tees and rubber armed pitching coaches, provided evidence of that. The Wolverines will play at a much different curve this season.

“We’re going to make a big transition this year on the field,” Buell said while watching his players work. “We’ve got a lot of new players starting this year. We lost six starters from last year, and while we didn’t have the best season last year, this group gained a lot of experience in the game, and they are starting out this year with a great attitude.”

Solid pitching is always a good place for any team to start at any level, and Buell feels good about his group of starting pitchers.

Cat Sanctuary Holding Benefit April 23

staff RepoRt

Happy Tails Cat Sanctuary is hosting a dinner April 23 at the Banquet Center of St. Noel in Wil loughby Hills to help the nonprofit organization continue to handle the impact of inflation.

“We are providing for the cats’ needs, but our budget continues to take a big hit from inflation. Costs for food, litter, cleaning supplies, and veterinary care are challeng ing,” said Happy Tails President Tom Vasko in a statement. “It will be great if a lot of people attend our event to help us raise funds. If folks can’t attend, we hope they will still consider making a tax-de ductible donation to the sanctuary, where cats reside in a mostly cageless, no-kill, indoor environment. When possible, we place them in foster or adoptive homes, but a number of them are senior and/ or special needs cats who will re main at the sanctuary for the rest of their lives.”

The $50-per-person bene fit, held from 2-5 p.m. at 35200 Chardon Road, will include a family-style dinner of beef, chicken or pasta entrees (with vegan options available with advance notice); salad; vegetable side dishes; desserts; coffee and tea; soft drinks; wine and beer; and more, said media contact Doreen Lazarus-Harris, adding registration for the event will begin at 1:30 p.m.

Baseball

from page 1

“Our pitching, especially the starters, will be one of our biggest strengths this season,” he said. “We start with senior Bo Dolecek as our top guy.”

Other seniors toeing the rubber will include Nick Donofrio, Richard Kretschman and Jeremy Abdelmalak. They will be joined by juniors Brody Gruber, Johnny Julian, Nate Mikonsky, Anthony Lucci and Brett Ringenbach.

Keeping those players in the lineup will be important. Ringenbach figures to be the starting catcher, Gruber will spend a lot of time at first base, Mikonsky will settle in at shortstop, and Julian will shore up the middle defense from his position in center field.

The infield will be manned much of the time by juniors. Carson Weisman will anchor second base, Gareth Reeves will see a lot of time in right field, Ringenbach will also see time behind the plate and at shortstop, sophomore J.T. Javorek will tend the hot corner at third base, and senior Stone McKissick will be solid covering left field.

“Our entire outfield and every infield position except shortstop will be new starters this year,” Buell said. “That said, they are all good athletes who look to learn as they go along, which is a good thing. Our starting pitching also should be good from one through four, so finding the right place for

for further processing. The church was unoccupied at the time of the incident and there were no injuries.”

The church has come under fire on social media and received threats after it announced it is hosting an April 1 Drag Story Hour from 4 to 5 p.m.

According to a church Facebook post: “Our sign was destroyed, outdoor light fixtures broken, and Molotov cocktails thrown at the church which houses a pre-school.”

It continued: “So they’re obviously ‘thinking of the children.’ We were fortunate that when this hate crime occurred, it was raining, which probably prevented the fire from catching. Small mercies.”

The church is also hosting a Drag Brunch at Element 41 on Chardon Square that morning and afternoon. Element 41 has also received threats about that event.

Rumors have circulated about protests at both events involving the Proud Boys, described online as an “exclusively male North American far-right neo-fascist organization

the other pitchers to build our bullpen is going to be possibly the toughest thing to do.”

West G’s lineup will be solid. Johnny Julian puts his speed to work leading off. The athleticism of Weisman is in the two spot. Ringenbach puts some pop into the first innings, and will be followed by senior Travis Veleba in the DH role. He also can pitch, catch, and fill spots in the outfield while providing serious power to the middle of the order.

Reeves will hit fifth, Mikonsky sixth, Javorek seventh, Gruber eighth, and McKissick, who can handle any outfield spot with equal skill sets, ninth.

Developing players for roles will be key for Coach Buell this season, and the outlook for doing that draws optimism from everybody.

Another key factor, and cause for optimism, is that for the first time in a while, the Wolverines will field a freshman baseball team as well as junior varsity team.

“I’m really excited to see that we will have a freshman team this year,” Buell said. “We have 18 freshmen out, so we are going to be able to develop a serious freshman team for a change, and that will mean more playing time for everybody if they want to work for it. The kids who want to play will show it in practices, and that has been very solid so far since we started.”

In short, expect West Geauga’s season and prospects to be vastly improved from previous years.

Churchthat promotes and engages in political violence in the United States.”

Chardon Police Chief Scott Niehus said there have been some calls to his department in complaint. But he was not aware of any verified information about protests.

“Our primary mission is public safety,” Niehus said. “We’re closely monitoring, aware of the event. We will do everything we need to do to make sure if there is a protest — to the degree we can — make it safe for everyone.”

“I would say that the work we are doing is vital,” said Megan Carver, the CCC’s Social Justice co-chair and event organizer. “We have a responsibility to create safe spaces for people to be themselves. This art form of drag is one that has been enjoyed by all communities for centuries. We look forward to a safe and fun-filled time!”

The Chester Township Police Department is working with investigators from multiple partner agencies, and the vandalism incident is under investigation. If there is any information concerning this incident, please contact the Chester Township Police Department at (440) 729-1239 or (440) 729-1234.

Each month they select either an exciting novel to devour, a genre to explore or an author to read and compare texts. The after-school discussions of the novels are entertaining as well as thoughtful.

WGMS Power of the Pen Regionals

The West Geauga Middle School Power of the Pen team recently competed in the regional competition. The talented group of students proved their skills in writing and were a great representation of the school, announced by the host as “the kindest team he’s ever met”.

Janna Winningham took first place out of all competing seventh-graders and Gabby Ohlsen placed ninth. Both students will advance to the state competition.

The final scores will be announced soon for all other writers to determine advancement.

Wolverines to Endure on Track

By Rich Kelly spoRts@KaRlovecmedia com

The West Geauga Wolverines boys made a name for themselves last year on local tracks, and again during the cross country season over the last two seasons, by being consistent in longer races, building on endurance running.

This season, as Coach John Boylan begins season 21 leading this team, he knows he has a solid group of long-range runners. But this season could be a tad different if young sprinters and a talented-but-inexperienced band of underclassmen develop in a hurry.

Having had several regional qualifiers last season, taking the next step is this veteran coach’s goal.

“We’ve got a lot of good distance runners this season,” he said. “That will be our focus, to get them beyond just the regional level like we did last season, hopefully to move on to state competitions this year. We had two runners set school records last season in Danny Kearns, in the 3200, and Matt Dienes, in the 1600. So both of them are a great place to start setting our focus.

“We’re a very young team, too, and we’re not the strongest in field events, but I think we may have some good sprinters this season. Some of our younger football players came out for our team, and they have some speed, but they will be involved in developing along the way.”

Sophomore Nasir Levy has the potential to lead West G’s large band of sprinters.

The team’s five seniors are Anthony Aziz, Sonito Catalano, David Fofana, Van Peck and Nick Switzer.

Juniors Ethan Barrett, Owen McCall, Gabriel Peraza, Christian Mulica and Nikos Sadris and sophomores Elijah Grudger, Carson Mansfield, Evan Mansfield, and freshmen Lincoln Bannerham, Roy Hutchinson, and Lochlan McKissick make up the rest of team.

Field events will not see a large band of Wolverines competing, but those who do will work to improve on strength and technique along the way.

Throwers include juniors Jayden Thompson, Jack Kermos, Marcello DeNegris and Michael Beazel. Sophomore Joshua Sessler will compete, and freshmen Lochlan McKissick and Zach Verner round out the throwing group.

Senior Isaak Taiclet and freshman Elijah

Grudger will represent the Wolverines in the long jump, with others possibly stepping into other jump events as the season progresses.

It’s when the meets move into the distance running events that the Wolverines will let everybody know West Geauga is a school to contend with.

Its regional qualifying 4x800 relay team last season consisted of seniors Chris Whiting, Danny Kearns, and Grant Congdon and junior Matt Dienes. Building stamina to run multiple long distances is no easy task, but that quartet seems to have the concept mastered.

Kearns set a school record last season in the 3200 race, and Dienes did the same in the 1600, so running the 4x800 may have been more similar to a short sprint for them.

Now that they’ve made regionals, this tracksters will not surprise anybody this season. But all have run well in cross country, so this spring should not spring any unplanned moments among them.

Having state cross country recognition will put a target on their backs, but that fact has also inspired many younger distance runners to move into the program for Coach Boylan.

A plethora of runners provide a bright future for Wolverine track and cross country runners, with confidence to boot.

They include seniors Brun Morgan, Ryan Downs and Congdon, who also runs in the 800 meter run. He is joined by Whiting to provide leadership in races.

Six juniors are in the blend as well: Adam Fonsek, Thomas Hensley, Evan Koren, Thomas Romeo, Joshua Stumpf and William Northrup.

Sophomore Robert Vash will try to develop his stamina, and freshmen Ryan Berdis, Joel Vaughn, Jacob Williams and Zack Zebrowski round out a large group of distance runners who have propelled the Wolverines to prominence.

“These guys are a great bunch of kids to build a program with in distance running,” Boylan said. “They have put in the effort to succeed to this point, and they are a good example for the many younger kids we have, so we now can focus more on getting beyond the regional levels.”

Moving down to Division II this season also should be helpful, providing different competitors for the Wolverines to follow and potentially surpass.

Chester Government Update

The Chester Township Board of Trustees meeting on Feb. 23 began with a zoning commission update. The discussion included signage, pool covers and updating the Chester Township Zoning Resolution and township map to include passive and active parks.

Regarding new business, the board moved to reappoint Linda Palchick to a position on the West Geauga Community Joint Recreational District Board for the term expiring March 31, 2026. Trustees approved an increase in the revenue fund 2904-599-2901

One Ohio Opioid for $ 2,295.83.

Moving to the township park, trustees approved a three-year contract for the landscaping

and ballfield maintenance to Innovative Companies with no price increases during the threeyear contract 2023 to 2025. Trustees sent out thank you letters to all who sent in bid proposals.

The board moved to enter into executive session at 8:38 p.m. pursuant to Ohio Revised Code 121.22(G) (1) to consider the promotion or compensation of a public employee and (4) preparing for, conducting or reviewing negotiations or bargaining sessions with public employees concerning their compensation or other terms and conditions of their employment.

Upon return, trustees moved to approve, authorize and ratify the collective bargaining agreement as presented by John Onyshko. The agreement was recognized as being entered into by the membership of the Chester Township Road Department / International Brotherhood of Teamsters and the Chester Township Board of Trustees. By the approval, said contract shall be deemed effective and retroactive to a beginning date of June 1, 2022, and an expiration date of May 31, 2025. Also approved was an additional week of vacation for Chester Fire Chief William Shaw and a wage increase for Salli Mehall, administrative assistant, from $18 per hour to $18.54 per hour effective the first full pay period of 2023. With no further business before the board, Mr. Richter adjourned the meeting at 9:06 p.m.

The Chester Township Zoning Commission held a joint meeting with the Board of Zoning Appeals and the Chester Trustees at 7 p.m. March 1. The boards had open conversation on signage; parks, including both passive and active in the districts; swimming pool covers; and views on cluster homes. Mr. Radtke shared he would reach out to the prosecutor to determine the best way to prohibit nursing homes in the township. An open discussion with the boards and the public took place.
