BOEs Seek Public Input on Properties By Diane Ryder editor@geaugamapleleaf.com Newbury and West Geauga school district officials — faced with decisions about what will happen to Newbury’s three main buildings, stadium and fields after July 1 — are asking the public to weigh in with possible uses for the school campus. The two boards of education met virtually May 28 to launch a community survey seeking public input. Newbury Schools will merge with West Geauga Schools on July 1, leaving their current campus vacant. Dione DeMitro, of Euclid-based Burges and Burges strategists, moderated the hour-long meeting, passing along questions submitted by the public for school officials. Following the question and answer

West G board President Bill Beers assured the public the decision will be based on several criteria, including legality, zoning, economics, educational impact, financial stability and aesthetics.

Newbury Trustees See Potential Opportunity in School Property By Diane Ryder editor@geaugamapleleaf.com
A group of Black Lives Matter protesters gathered at the corner of Mayfield Road and state Route 306 in Chester Township June 7.
Newbury board President Maggie Zock said section 3313.41 of the Ohio Revised Code is very specific on the options open to West G officials regarding the disposition of
Independence Day Parade
Newbury Township Trustees might be interested in obtaining at least portions of the township’s school property when the district transfers to West Geauga Schools on July 1. Trustees held a virtual meeting May 29 with Newbury and West Geauga Schools boards of education members and school officials. Facilitator Dione DeMitro, of consultant firm Burges and Burges, recapped for the township officials the discussion held during a May 28 joint school board meeting and shared the preliminary findings of a community survey that is soliciting ideas for the future of the school campus. Guided by Ohio Revised Code
requirements, the West Geauga board will ultimately decide whether to keep the property, “mothball” it, negotiate with a local government entity, such as township trustees, for sale of the property or sell the seven separate parcels at public auction. West Geauga school board President Bill Beers made it clear last Thursday the board has no intention of abandoning the property and demolishing the buildings would cost more than the combined parcels $700,000 market value. DeMitro said 73 residents responded by May 29 to the online survey, which closed at midnight June 2. Thirty-one percent of respondents at that time indicated the township should take over the See Trustees • Page 7

Metzenbaum Center Clients, Staff Adjust to New Guidelines By Ann Wishart ann@geaugamapleleaf.com When the COVID-19 stay-at-home order hit Ohio in March, Carol Colombo’s first thought was how could she help clients of the Bessie Benner Metzenbaum Center in Chester Township get through the ordeal. Colombo, the center’s musical therapist, works with several individuals of all ages with developmental disabilities who attended her sessions at scattered locations for fun and learning. Suddenly, those locations were closed and, for the first time in her 25 years with Metzenbaum, Colombo was out of touch with clients. “Everything was shut down. I wondered how I could reach the families,” she said in a recent phone interview. Only a handful of full-time clients live at the center in Chester Township. Most live in residences around Geauga County managed by Metzenbaum’s business partners, said Metzenbaum Superintendent Don Rice. In short order, Colombo said she discovered social media would not only keep her clients tuned in, it would enlarge the following of her musical sessions called Play, Learn and Grow. Reaching out to all her intervention families via Facebook, Colombo advertised the 30-minute videos. The response has exceeded her expectations. “Lots (of viewers) came on. People would tell people who would tell more people,” she said. When the sessions were held in person, the number of individuals who could partic-
ipate was limited. Now, Colombo said she’ll have 40 or 50 tune in for the live programs. Because she tries to personalize each session by naming participants who have signed in, she asked her adult daughters to help by holding up names on cards as families clicked onto the live video so Colombo would welcome them. “I’ve had parents tell me, ‘This is the closest to normal we’ve felt in a while,’” she said, adding the audience has grown to include families outside Ohio. The program is not limited to Metzenbaum clients, although Meredith Myers, superintendent of the center’s early intervention program, said it is geared for children with disabilities and suspected disabilities. An important side benefit is that parents of children with delays and disabilities can meet, connect and socialize through the virtual program, Myers said in a video on the center’s Facebook page. It is a challenge many parents of children with disabilities face, so the program gives them the support they need, even if their children’s diagnoses are completely different, she said. Besides the Movin’ to Music segment, Colombo tries to have a different activity every week for the participants. Making a toilet-paper-roll kazoo, tambourines out of aluminum pie pans or water bottle shakers are all activities she directs. Technology has also helped resident clients keep in touch with their families, who are not allowed to visit them at their group homes, Rice said. See Metzenbaum • Page 5

The Chester Township Board of Trustees regular meeting on May 21 began at 6:30 p.m. with a presentation by Zoning Commission Chairperson Cathy Cotman on proposed changes to Chester’s Zoning Resolution. Topics included modifying or removing language for agricultural lots less than 5 acres, day spas and changes clarifying that water management and sediment control rules. The ZC will formalize the discussed changes and proceed with appropriate public hearings. Fire Chief John Wargelin provided a review and summary of the interview process recently completed as the township continues its search for candidates to fill the remaining three full-time firefighter/paramedic positions for the fire department. Chief Wargelin recommended, and the board approved, conditional offers to candidates Austin Georsky and Connor Bachmann. An application was approved for a Geauga County Tea Party and Free Ohio Now rally at the Parkside Park Gazebo on May 23. The board also approved a memorandum of understanding with the Geauga County Engineer’s Office for the rental resource program, which includes personnel support. It was agreed to begin contracted cleaning services again and to temporarily halt door-to-door sales because of Covid-19. Trustee Ken Radtke gave a summary of his analysis and review of the township questionnaire mailer. There were approximately 600 residential properties that appear to have not received the questionnaire and he recommended approving monies to complete the process. Trustee Skip Claypool requested more time to evaluate. The decision was postponed until a special trustees meeting on May 26 at which time up to $1,300 was approved by majority vote to complete the printing, mailing and return postage for the second mailer. It should happen within the next few weeks. There is much more that goes on behind
the scenes than the public is generally aware of when it comes to managing Chester Township’s operations. A number of people have stepped up to help support the township given several staffing shortages. Trustees would like to thank Nick Gorris, of the Geauga County Engineer’s Office, and Trustee Joe Mazzurco for their efforts in supporting the Chester Road Department as they continue the search for a road superintendent. Fiscal Officer Patricia Jarrett has put in a significant amount of time and effort as she not only learns her new role, but also assumes increased responsibilities in the absence of an assistant fiscal officer (AFO). Mary Lou Florentine, township administrative assistant, has also been supporting the fiscal office by assuming some of the AFO duties, and Joanie Windnagel has been helping as a part-time AFO. With 20-plus years of experience and having served as fiscal officer of Chardon Township, Ms. Windnagel has been a great asset to both Ms. Florentine and Ms. Jarrett, as each of them is stepping into these new roles. At the end of the meeting, the board and fiscal officer entered into executive session to discuss employee compensation. Upon re-entering the public meeting, a 6 percent and a 3 percent increase were approved for the township’s administrative assistant and the part-time assistant fiscal officer, respectively. Trustees are hopeful that some organizational changes currently in development will result in significant savings to the township that will be shared during future public meetings. On June 3, a second mailer of the Chester Township questionnaire occurred. The deadline for submitting all questionnaires has been extended to June 18. Trustees encourage all residents who have not yet mailed their responses to Cleveland State University to do so before the deadline. Submitted by Ken Radtke Jr., Chester Township Trustee

Letters to the Editor Memorial Day Politics I was troubled to read “Rally Calls De Wine’s Actions Unconstitutional,” Maple Leaf, May 28, that even community Memorial Day observances have become fair game for partisan politics. Memorial Day has traditionally been a day of national unity dedicated to the remembrance of those men and women who sacrificed their individual liberties, and their very lives, in the service of our common good. The depth and breadth of that remembrance are greatly diminished when it is used as a platform to promote current political agendas. There are plenty of other days in the year available for political rallies. Let’s preserve the significance of Memorial Day as it was intended. Ed Slane Chester Township
‘Just a Small Group of People’ West Geauga High School late 2009, after the first planning committee was shelved, over 400 Chesterland residents are gathered for a Chester zoning meeting featuring Armond Dinardo. Mr. Dinardo put two full-page ads in the Chesterland News stating, Gary Paoletto “is only part of a small group of people” who oppose 48 houses on 11 acres. The room was over the allowed limit; there were 200 more in the hallway. One person spoke in favor of the developer’s plan. There were also 800 signatures on petitions against the plan. Everyone there was opposed to the plan, including Ken Radtke. Now Ken Radtke is for these things. The old committee was shut down when Chester trustees discovered saying “yes” to free sidewalks included a mandate for low-income apartments.

“Face-to-face visits have stopped. They’re not able to see their loved ones, (but) through social media, they can interact with their families remotely,” he said. “The technology has been great.” Zoom, Facebook Live and other applications might not be the same as a hug, but they seem to have done the job of reassuring residents their families are still available, even if they are physically out of touch. It lessens the feelings of isolation, Rice said. “I’m sure they have missed seeing their families, but they have contact with their housemates and the staff,” Rice said. “In most cases, we have been able to fill that (visitors) hole with technology.” The center provides exercise classes online and has some fun activities, as well. He recalled the pizza-making class one Thursday morning when 43 participants tuned in and watched the instructions, following along at home and making their own lunch. “I was shocked there were 43 people (watching) — usually we have 16,” he said. There have been other unexpected bene-
The new committee with the same lies, used 11-year old data that is now obsolete, saying “we are an aging community.”Currently new families with children are moving into Chesterland. On my street alone there are at least five new families here. Zoning is the law we have that controls development. If you ever heard how zoning is bad. It is, for developers who would build whatever they want anywhere they want. Zoning is good for us. Zoning is weakened when you allow a banned use. There is no zoning for any type of multi-family housing in Chesterland. If apartments, condos, cluster housing are allowed anywhere in Chesterland our zoning becomes worth nothing more but the paper it is written on. Ken Radtke knows this. The survey sent out has no verification security. There is no barcode on the envelope or the survey to identify it with the address it was sent to. Anyone can make 500 to 1,000 copies and send those in to further corrupt the findings. Why did Ken Radtke and Joe Mazzurco do this? Whether it was incompetence, or intentional, it makes this survey/questionnaire worthless to make any claims about “what the people of Chesterland want.” On top of that, 160 survey/questionnaires went to Munson residents which make the results even more inconclusive and corrupted. If the Chester trustees or anyone else try to infer anything from it, they will find themselves in court. This entire committee and survey is a travesty of lies, and when the survey results come out I can promise you the developers will come out to file zoning changes for apartments and small lots, and I believe that Ken and Joe will do a s@it job of defending our rights. That’s why removing them is the best option. Let’s keep Chesterland green. Gary Paoletto Chester Township fits to the center’s programs besides growth in popularity and exposure. Rice said he has discovered how to use more social media safely. “I learned how to lock down a (virtual) board meeting so you don’t get Zoombombed,” he said. Generally, all staff has been able to be physically present during the week, despite child care presenting a problem. Metzenbaum employees supported each other, sometimes offering an out-of-school teenager to babysit at a staffer’s home, Rice said. Otherwise, the guidelines for operation from the Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities allowed the center to create caseby-case safety protocols, he said. The center’s crisis plan, in place since the 70s, had been updated a few years ago and, with the state blocking visitors from the center’s residences, maintaining a safe environment for clients has been pretty easy, Rice said. Overall, technology has been the answer to keeping Metzenbaum clients active and comfortable. “It’s been good for our clients and staff,” Rice said. “Twenty years ago, it would have been a very different situation.”

Geauga County Fair
‘Full Fair’ Plans Move Ahead Following Guidelines By Amy Patterson amy@geaugamapleleaf.com
While COVID-19 cancelations are still rolling in, the Great Geauga County Fair Board announced May 27 it will keep its 198-year streak intact this September, said secretary and board Director Paul Harris. “Currently, the Geauga County Fair Board has agreed to move forward with a full fair Sept. 3-7, 2020,” Harris said. “Now more than ever we will need the support of our volunteers and community for a successful Labor Day weekend.” When reached by phone, Harris said the fair board will work with Geauga Public Health to ensure the safety of attendees and exhibitors. However, he added, since the fair’s founding during the administration of James Monroe, the fifth president of the United States, it has never been canceled. According to www.geaugafair.com, the fair has been held continuously each year “despite multiple national conflicts, including the Civil War, Spanish American War, two World Wars, the Great Depression, Korea, Vietnam, the Gulf War, and various droughts and hardships during other significant periods and events in America’s history.”
Community support and the work of volunteers will be more important this year because planning for a fair starts over a year before the event takes place, Harris said, adding even though adjustments may need to be made, the fair board can’t simply hit the brakes on planning. “This isn’t something that we can just wait until Aug. 1 and someone says you can have the fair and we just turn a switch on,” Harris said. County Prosecutor Jim Flaiz said his office was not contacted by anybody from the fair regarding the May 27 announcement. Geauga County owns the fairgrounds and Flaiz’s office represents both the county and GPH in legal matters. Flaiz said the fair board had not yet reached out to GPH either as far as he knew. “Personally, I hope they do have the fair,” Flaiz said. “I’d hate to miss everything. I think everybody feels that way.” However, Flaiz said it was a bit shocking for the announcement to be made before contacting GPH or the county’s legal counsel. Harris said the fair board will is working on a plan and will present it to GPH and ask for input on safety measures once it is created. The fair board has the full support of Geau-
ga County Commissioners, Harris added. Commissioner Tim Lennon, reached by phone May 28, said he agrees with the fair board’s decision. Lennon said in addition to keeping its nearly 200-year streak going, the fair is vital to the county. “Beyond it being a fun thing to do with the kids, it’s still a pretty big part of our local economy for a lot of businesses,” Lennon said. “For that aspect, I think it’s important to keep the thing going.” A big second wave of coronavirus might lead the board to reassess its decision, he said, adding, however, he and fellow commissioners Ralph Spidalieri and Jim Dvorak trust the judgment of the fair board in adopting safety precautions. Harris said a Facebook post of his May 27 announcement had reached over 100,000 people, many more than any other Geauga fair posts. Harris said out of over 150 comments he read, less than a dozen were negative.
“There’s always a couple people that don’t agree with (a decision),” Harris said. “We’re not forcing them to come to the fair.” While his social media post was blowing up on May 28, Harris was in Columbus testifying before the Ohio House Agriculture and Rural Development Committee. Harris, who also serves as first vice president of the Ohio Fair Managers Association, asked the committee to reexamine laws governing agricultural societies, amusement ride safety and funding for county and independent agricultural societies. That same day, Gov. Mike DeWine’s office released much-awaited guidance on how county and independent fairs can go forward. The document, available at coronavirus.ohio. gov, opens with a recommendation from DeWine and Ohio Department of Health Director Amy Acton that for the 2020 fair season, agricultural societies limit fairs to allow only for 4-H and FFA “junior fair” activities. Any fairs moving forwards with attractions, concessions and exhibitors beyond junior fair activities must comply with guidelines, including six-foot social distancing and mask wearing, the document states. “There will be no physical contact between judges, exhibitors, participants, buyers, sellers, i.e. congratulatory handshakes, hugs, high fives,” the guidance says. “Fairgoers must not pet or touch animals.” Harris said the guidelines do not restrict any of the activities that make up a fair. “Will it realistically look like it always has – probably not – but as close as we can come to the full fair is what we’ll do,” Harris said. “We don’t see anything in these guidelines that we can’t accommodate.” He added the board understands there may be changes and additional safety precautions for this year’s event. However, for all intents and purposes, Harris said, the board is moving forward with a full fair —possibly including rides — and not just a virtual sale for exhibitors. Planning a fair in a way that covers costs for exhibits and animal shows, Harris explained, is a package deal. Running the junior fair costs money, but rides, midway attractions and grandstand events help balance the books. “The fair is like a puzzle, and a puzzle with a missing piece isn’t worth a whole lot,” he said. Harris said questions of whether certain attractions will be part of the fair now are not worth speculation, adding while safety is the primary concern, it’s too early to make those decisions. “Safety is going to be our primary concern,” Harris said. “It always is, whether there’s a pandemic or not. What the fair will look like, I can’t tell you just yet.”

school’s bus garage, possibly for much-needed storage of township road equipment. Twenty-five percent recommended demolition, 23 percent thought West Geauga could use the garage and 9 percent believe it should go to private ownership. The front of the main school building, built in 1928 and needing extensive repairs, should be demolished, 29 percent of respondents said. One-fourth believe the township could utilize it, possibly for office space, recreation or a community center, and another fourth thought it should go to private ownership. Six percent thought West Geauga could make use of it. The rear of the main building, containing a gym, classrooms, cafeteria and kitchen — built in stages in later years — should be used by the township, possibly for a recreation center, according to 61 percent of responders. Eleven percent want it demolished; 9 percent want it to go to private ownership and 3 percent to West Geauga. The intermediate building, constructed in 1972 and containing an auditorium and multipurpose room but no kitchen, should be used by the township or the county, 82 percent of respondents said. The building currently houses a branch of the Geauga County Public Library. Only 7 percent of responders believe that building should be demolished and 3 percent want West Geauga to use it. Virtually everyone responding — 91 percent — want the township to retain the fields

and stadium, which was refurbished in 2018. Only 3 percent want it demolished and another 3 percent want it to be used by West Geauga. Almost half of the respondents — 44 percent — do not want to see the land go to private development. Eighteen percent do not want to see the buildings demolished. Fifteen percent do not want to see the buildings sit empty. Ten percent believe the township can’t afford to take over the property and 4 percent do not want West Geauga to own the campus, DeMitro said. “This is only preliminary, based on what (responses) we’ve had as of today,” she told the officials. Newbury Trustee Bill Skomrock said he would like to see total figures in time for the next trustees’ meeting scheduled for June 3. DeMitro said she will have the final results tallied in time for their meeting. “I’m surprised at the high numbers wanting us to have the athletic fields and (stadium and outbuildings),” Skomrock said. “We’ll need to do a lot of research on our end. This is kind of enlightening and eye-opening.” Trustee Glen Quigley said people don’t understand the financial consequences. “It will take money to make this happen,” Newbury board member Kimya Matthews said, adding she knows of several local groups that would be interested in renting and maintaining the fields for sports programs, such as soccer. “We’ll have to look at all the options. There are so many things to explore before we can make an educated decision,” Skomrock said.
“We are certainly interested in exploring the possibilities,” Quigley added. “Now is the time to dream big. No doubt we will want to be involved as stewards.” DeMitro asked trustees whether they have an interest in taking over the property. “It’s a little premature to come to any conclusions,” Skomrock said. “This survey means a lot, but we also have to take into consideration zoning, county planning, finances and a lot of other things. The list goes on and on, and we have a lot more questions.” Newbury board President Maggie Zock said if trustees are interested in the property, both school boards would be willing to help them, although the Newbury board will cease to exist on July 1, when the district transfers. Newbury board member David Lair, who served as township fiscal officer for many years, pointed out the township’s general fund currently cannot afford even the estimated $200,000 per year it would cost to “mothball” the school buildings. Lair said the Geauga County Budget Commission does not allow townships to set aside money for a “rainy day fund,” forcing townships to spend down their general funds every year. Quigley asked the school officials what kind of financial commitment they would need from the township and whether there is
Page 7
a timetable for making decisions. “Other than saying that we’re interested, what kind of commitment is West G looking for?” Quigley asked. “We have no set timeline,” Beers told trustees. “We haven’t established a timeline as a board action. We can say that five years is too long; two years is too long; but one year is really pushing it.” Quigley agreed a year is too long. “Not in a month either, but as fast as we can, for multiple reasons,” Beer said, adding the situation is a “jigsaw puzzle with pieces here and pieces there.” “We need to put it together for a win situation for everyone involved,” Beers said. Lair said if Newbury trustees want the property, they would probably need to ask voters for a levy for that purpose. Quigley pointed out since joining the West G district will save Newbury voters almost 15 mills in property taxes each year, voters might be willing to pass a small levy for that purpose. Newbury board member Terry Sedivy said the intermediate building would make a handicapped accessible township hall and the auditorium would be a major asset to the community. “This is the time to dream about the possibilities,” Quigley said.

Property from page 1
school property: The property must be offered to any charter schools in the district, and Zock said there are none; the accepting district makes use of the buildings, which she said is not an option; the district negotiates a sale to another government authority, such as township trustees; or the property is sold at a public auction to the highest bidder. The campus consists of 40 acres on seven parcels and includes the main school building, which is 97,000 square feet, was constructed in 1928 and expanded in later stages to include a gym, cafeteria and kitchen; a 4,800-square foot bus garage and sewage treatment plant; a 30,000-square-foot intermediate building, including an auditorium and multipurpose room, built in 1972; athletic fields that include bleachers constructed in 2018; and various outbuildings. The front section of the main building and the bus garage need major repairs, Zock said. Beers said the assessed value of the 40 acres, without buildings, is $700,000. The total cost of demolition of all the buildings would be more than $1 million, according to a study by consultants Charles Braman and Company compiled for Newbury’s school board in January. In other words, demolition of all the buildings would cost more than the property is worth, Beers added. Beers said the main building, on 12 acres, has a current value of $580,000; the intermediate building, on 12 acres, is valued at $600,000. Newbury board member Kimya Matthews estimated the remaining 18 acres, mostly in fields, has a market value of about $9,000 to $10,000 per acre. “Maintaining the buildings, if mothballed, would cost about $222,790 a year, and the longer they sit empty, the more they become an eyesore,” Beers said. “We definitely want to avoid that. This is the center of the community and affects the whole district.” In answer to a question submitted from the public, Beers said one private developer has contacted the district about the property. “But under the (Ohio) Revised Code, we first must deal with the local government and then have a public auction,” Beers explained. Zock said both boards planned a joint meeting with Newbury Township Trustees May 29 to discover whether the township is interested in acquiring the property. Longtime West G board member Kathy Leavenworth recalled when their board tried
to work with Chester and Russell Townships several years ago in an effort to sell them closed school buildings, the process was difficult, especially in dealing with zoning issues with Chester Township Trustees. “They did not want to work with us,” Leavenworth said. “It was not the best negotiating process that went on.” West G board member Ben Kotowski recalled Russell Township Trustees had been more cooperative and had wanted to retain the building as a community center and emergency shelter, but the building was too large. The school was demolished and the site used for the Russell Township Police Department. “There were a lot of similarities between there and here,” Leavenworth said. “The school is equally dear to people here.” DeMitro said Newbury Township Trustees are very interested in discussing their options with the school boards. A question was submitted about whether the West G board has considered keeping the Newbury buildings open during the COVID-19 pandemic to help maintain social distancing requirements. West G Superintendent Richard Markwardt said no, and that all districts are currently working with Ohio Department of Education authorities to determine options with opening schools in the fall. “But at this time, we haven’t looked at keeping those buildings open,” Markwardt said. Another person questioned whether West G could just abandon the Newbury buildings entirely. “Yes, we could, but we’re not going to,” Beers said. “We’re not letting it become an eyesore in the middle of the community.” Matthews asked whether the property could be given to trustees. Beers said state law doesn’t specify whether the property needed to be sold for a specific percentage of the assessed value. “The Newbury Township budget doesn’t have enough to front that kind of money, even the $200,000 it would cost to mothball the buildings,” said Newbury board member Dave Lair, a former Newbury Township fiscal officer. “They’d have to come up with a new revenue stream.” At the end of the meeting, DeMitro encouraged residents of both districts to share their thoughts and ideas in an online survey. The survey closed on June 3. The final report was given June 8. “The survey is not an opportunity to vote. That’s for the (West G) board,” DeMitro said. “This is an opportunity to collect feedback.”
