Sparent First Wolverine on State Podium Since 2016 By Jason Baxter sports@geaugamapleleaf.com
Junior Jack Sparent fininsed eighth in the OHSAA state wrestling tournament. He was the first Wolverine to place since 2016.
During a January interview, West Geauga junior Jack Sparent vowed a trip to the state tournament. The two-time district qualifier not only made the state tournament but also found himself on the podium following a strong first day. Sparent opened with a 15-0 technical fall win over Miami Trace’s Weston Melvin. He then fell in his second match by pin to Nolan Gessler of St. Paris Graham. He would clinch a spot on the podium and the ability to wrestle on Sunday with a 4-2 win over Celina junior Landon Engle.
The second day of the tournament for Sparent included a 4-0 loss to Buckeye’s Eddie Pinc and a close 1-0 loss to Te’Andre Allen of Orange. He finished his first trip to the tournament in eighth place, becoming the 17th Wolverine to reach the podium, the first under thirdyear head coach Ben Stehura. Sparent is a junior and finished the season with a 26-5 record, he has 59 wins over the last two seasons. Sparent finished third at the Perry District. He became the first Wolverine on the state podium since Joe Fornaro in 2016, when he finished in sixth place. Stehura spoke about Sparent’s podium-clinching match: “He went
out and took that kid (Engle) down. The Celina kid brought it. He was wrestling real well. It was a takedown at the end of the match. Jack was able to get the two. “It was a good match,” Stehura said. “That’s what the placing round is supposed to be.” The coach also added: “Jack trains hard all summer. He is everywhere wrestling, doing everything right. The biggest thing I noticed the last couple weeks is he is adapting, he is picking up what is happening and adjusting really fast. The first two matches earlier were scripted. That’s what Jack does. This one he had to pull something complete out to win it, and he did it.”
Reaching ‘Problem Children’ in the Classroom, Local Author and Educator Finds Solutions By Diane Ryder editor@geaugamapleleaf.com Every classroom has them — “class cut-ups,” “slackers,” “troublemakers,” “problem children,” “underachievers — kids near or at the bottom of the class, labeled from kindergarten as likely to fail, drop out or even end up in jail. Kevin Leichtman used to be one of them during his days at West Geauga Schools. “I was one of those challenging students,” he said in a recent phone interview. “I was a 2.0 student at my best, which wasn’t often. I barely graduated in the bottom 10 percent of my class.” Leichtman said he never felt motivated to study and just got by with a minimum of effort and little belief in his abilities. After high school graduation in 2002, he tried to get into college, but none were knocking at his door. “I begged and pleaded to get into Kent State (University), but after a
year and a half, I dropped out,” he said. “I went to (The) Ohio State (University) for a semester and failed out. I worked in a minimum wage job for awhile, then managed to get into Wright State (University) on academic probation, which meant no D’s or lower.” At West Geauga, Leichtman always compared himself to other students and found himself inferior. “I always felt that I wasn’t smart enough, that I deserved the label of ‘bad student,’” he said. “But at Wright State, I changed the way I looked at myself and concentrated on my strengths instead of my weaknesses. I entered school with a 1.7 grade point average and graduated with a 3.5. I even made the Dean’s List.” He went on to earn a master’s degree and a doctorate in education from the Florida Atlantic University. His wife, Anala, has a doctorate in curriculum and instruction, also from FAU. “When we moved back to Chester, my West G teachers had to shift
their perceptions of me. I was ‘Dr. he developed ways to reach the inLeichtman’ now,” he said. “They dividual child as he learned each one’s story. were amazed.” He and his wife had worked He and his wife work together with Sarah Thomas, as consultants helping chief executive officer of struggling students Edu Match Publishing, achieve success.

CHESTER TWP. – Our cherished son Emerson Oliver McArthur IV, age 42, of Chester Township, went missing in early February. We are deeply saddened to share that he was found March 1, 2021, after he had passed away. We are incredibly grateful to our local Chesterland Police Department for their tireless efforts to find Emerson and for their care and compassion during this most difficult time. The illness of chemical dependency is a misunderstood disease. It is unrelenting and rears its ugly head in many lives at the most unexpected times. No one person or family are immune to its powerful force. Addiction is a mental illness. It is not a character disorder nor a choice. No one, especially our Emerson, plans to be an addict. Addiction does not discriminate. Emerson battled valiantly against this illness for more than half of his life. He had a will to live and a powerful life force that amazed us as he struggled with trying to manage this disease. We used to joke that, like a cat, he appeared to have nine lives. His courage inspired us as we realized what it took for Emerson to get back up each and every time. In 2013, his near fatal heroin overdose, the ensuing brain damage that took his shortterm memory, was particularly challenging. Once again, he worked diligently with his doctors learning to compensate for his loss and move forward with his life. We will be forever grateful for the many kind, caring and knowledgeable professionals that generously offered us what they knew to be helpful tools as we assisted Em in his fight. We want to thank the committed and dedicated staff of Lake-Geauga Recovery Centers, Ravenwood Health, and Disability Rights Ohio. The Fellowships of Alcoholics Anonymous and the Al-Anon Family Groups also offered us and Em much support. The book, “Beyond Addiction – HOW SCIENCE AND KINDNESS HELP PEOPLE CHANGE - A Guide for Families,” by Jeffrey Foote, PhD, Carrie Wilkens, PhD, and Nicole Kosanke, PhD, with Stephanie Higgs was enormously helpful. In the midst of his struggles, Emerson
experienced wonderful periods of remission where he had fun and enjoyed life. He married his one and only true love, and had two beautiful daughters. Emerson loved gardening and was always willing to help his Mom with her endless outdoor projects as well as “catching” with his dad, not fishing. He went to school and learned the trade of HVAC, enjoyed his job and was a contributing member of both the local community and his faith community. Emerson’s desire to share his faith was contagious, resulting in being awarded “Revivalist” of the year at the Bethel School of Ministry. He was an active participate in Tres Dias of St. Louis and Tres Dias Cleveland, where he experienced the Grace of God. Through Emerson’s death all of us have an opportunity to expand and live the ministry Emerson wanted had he been able to continue to do so. He was genuine and had a heart of compassion for people who were hurting. Sharing Emerson’s story, we are left with many emotions, specifically pride. We are proud of our son, of what he experienced, learned and did not learn in his short stay on this earth. He was a bright shining light amongst us, and his life impacted many. In retrospect we are grateful for the gift he gave us so unknowingly. This gift, living with addiction, has given us understanding, empathy and kindness. We have learned to be less prone to judgement. We are incredibly sad, but we feel no shame, not for him nor us. Emerson knew how deeply his family loved him, and although we did become weary, we never gave up hope and were by his side throughout his journey. We take solace in the fact that he is free at last and in the loving, accepting arms of his Heavenly Father. Emerson will be missed forever by his loving parents, Mac and Liz McArthur, of Chester; brothers, Justin McArthur (Madalyn), of Chardon, James McArthur (Jenifer), of Shaker Heights; his two precious daughters, Aliyah Joy and Naomi Elizabeth McArthur, who he always referred to as his “Petee’s;” former wife, Heidi Gealy (nee Preston) PA; uncle to Olivia Grace, who fondly referred to him as “Uncle Ewe (lamb),” Miriam Kay and Amelia Anne; nephew to many beloved aunts and uncles; cousin to many; his dearest friend Noel Guilford; and ever constant advisors Sally Iannone, Rich Venn and John Dorsey. He was lovingly welcomed into his heavenly home by his grandparents; cousin Bruce; and many others. A private family service was held at Maple Hill Cemetery in Munson Township, with the gentle assistance of Marc H. Burr and Vicki Drugatz, of Burr Funeral Home, and Rev. Dr. Matthew Reeves, of Christ Presbyterian Church. In lieu of flowers, please consider a gift towards his children’s educational fund. Checks can be made payable and mailed to: Stifel Nicolaus & Company, 9930 Johnnycake Ridge Road, Ste. 2-A, Mentor, OH 44060. (Please note on the memo line: Aliyah and Naomi McArthur); or to Christ Presbyterian Church, 12419 Chillicothe Road, Chesterland, OH 44026. (Please note on the memo line: Food Pantry-Emerson.)

Obituaries George Keppler Jr.
George Keppler Jr. (MVP: Most Valuable Person). Married and devoted 65 years to our beautiful Mom, Magdaline. George immigrated to this country in the early 1950s after his family was forced out of Budapest, Hungary, Austria and Germany, ending up in Cleveland. He went to work for Hupp Corporation soon after arriving in Cleveland, faithfully working there until retirement. George was a U.S. Army veteran, and worked hard to raise seven kids. He hustled every day to pay for our college educations (in cash). All his children worked hand-inhand with him picking apples in Chesterland, “hawking” golf balls and blackberries in the woods off of Orchard Hills Golf Course and landscaping in Shaker Heights. Many people of all nationalities and color that called him “Friend.” George was a past president and devoted member of the Chesterland Lions Club and Hungarian Club. He organized many Georgian Bay and Lake Onaping fishing trips that served as his vehicle to counsel many men on how to be a good provider, husband and father as well as fisherman. No golf outings stand up to the way George organized and hosted (after golf dinner and awards) at our house for The Hupp Corporation and The Lions Club. He enjoyed Garcia-Vega Stogies, The 7” Rapala, Fan of Lee Trevino, Windsor Canadian, Crown Royal (on special occasions), Stroh’s Beer, Hungarian Goulash and Paprikash. He taught us that competition is OK; it brings out the best in us! Anyone that knew George knows that he had a competitive spirit second to none (especially at golf, fishing, pinochle, poker or Skip-Bo). Was he perfect? No, but he taught his family to live life to the fullest, celebrate accomplishments and have extreme passion and devotion for work, family, friends, your community, your heritage and the United States of America. He would be the first to stand up and say that we live in the best country in the world. Well done Dad! We salute you! We wish you great walleye, pike and muskie fishing in heaven (with Uncle Martin and Uncle John
naturally). We hope you don’t miss any twofoot putts in heaven. Don’t be selling coffee and golf balls to all the people in heaven either! Love you always! Rest in Peace! George is survived by his wife, Magdaline Keppler; children, Magdaline (Sam) Thomas, George (Heidi), Mary Katherine (Wayne) Chmielewski, Rose (Gerard) Blaszczak, Mike (Lisa), Barb (Brian) Wilcom, and Robert (Kim); 16 grandchildren; 10 great-grandchildren (and three more on the way!); and sister Kathy Keppler. He was preceded in death by his parents, George and Katherine Keppler; sister Rose Durr; and brother, Martin Keppler. Friends called at Gattozzi and Son Funeral Home, 12524 Chillicothe Road, Chesterland, on March 19, 2021, from 4-8 p.m. A livestreamed private funeral service was held at 10 a.m. March 20, 2021, on thre funeral home website, www.gattozziandson. com. Private interment Western Reserve Memorial Gardens, in Chesterland.
