Charges are yet to be filed against two employees of the Geauga County Probate and Juvenile Court relating to documents allegedly removed without permission from the fiscal office of Geauga County Auditor Chuck Walder.
Court Administrator Kim Laurie and Fiscal Compliance Officer Seth Miller walked out of the auditor’s office June 27 with documents Laurie says they had permission to take. Walder disagrees. In a statement, Walder said Laurie and Miller removed a stack of purchase orders, vouchers and warrants from the auditor’s of-
fice, and only returned the papers when compelled by a Chardon police officer. Later that afternoon, Judge Timothy Grendell appeared on Chardon Square, where witnesses say he angrily threatened Chardon Police Lt. Troy Duncan with arrest. See Investigations • Page 5

WG Decathlon Team Wins High Honors The West Geauga Academic Decathlon team attended the state competition and won high honors. Team advisor Ben Speros said, “Unlike Regionals, this time we were directly up against the second-best in the nation team Oak-
wood. We still took 19 medals (in 67 possible areas), and finished second in our division, and third in the state overall, behind Oakwood and Willoughby South.” Notably, senior Mariana Valdez-Punales had the highest scor-
ing speech in the state, earning a 955 out of a perfect 1000, and delivered her speech at the prestigious speech showcase portion of the awards ceremony. Junior Hannah Barker had the highest overall score for the team.
Townships Eligible for Funds from Foundation for Geauga Parks By Ann Wishart ann@geaugamapleleaf.com
Geauga is a county full of parks. Nearly 10,000 acres of Geauga County is dedicated by townships, municipalities, the county and the state to preserving nature and providing recreation for residents and visitors.
Creating, maintaining and improving that many acres is labor and money intensive. Townships often have to stretch their budgets to take care of their parks, much less expand or improve them. So when Jeff Hyde, director of the Foundation for Geauga Parks, talked to the Geauga County Township Association July 10 about the
non-profit’s programs to help fund improvements to all parks in the county, officials listened. He presented the aforementioned statistics and talked about the foundation’s history and purpose. Historically, the foundation has raised money for Geauga Park See Townships • Page 6

LESS PAIN - IMPROVED MOBILITY - POSTURAL EXERCISES - VITAMINS - NUTRITION
It was neither my intent nor purpose to threaten anyone, but rather to explain the court process that I subsequently had to take after being informed that the court’s fiscal staff would be arrested if they ever visited the auditor’s fiscal office in the future, to assure that the court can pay its vendors for vital services such as child protective services, guardians for vulnerable seniors, statutorily required appointed counsel for the county’s mentally ill, and therapeutic services for troubled youth — without interference from the auditor’s office. Nonetheless, I have sent Lieutenant Duncan a letter to apologize for any possible misunderstanding that may have occurred when I explained to him the procedures I was going to take to ensure that my court personnel could still conduct statutorily required official court business in a public area within a public office. I am writing now to apologize in case anyone else may have perceived my explanation as a threat. Unfortunately, there have been a number of ongoing issues the court’s fiscal staff have encountered with the auditor’s office. The auditor has delayed or denied payment of over 100 invoices for such public purposes as child protective services, guardians for vulnerable seniors, statutorily required appointed counsel, and therapeutic services for troubled youth. The auditor has delayed posting purchase orders, preventing payment of invoices for
over 140 days. The auditor has made allegations against court staff, some of which the state auditor has already determined to be unsubstantiated. The difficulties the court staff has encountered because of the county auditor’s restrictive demands and delays in simple accounting procedures are resulting in finance charges, collections and a lawsuit against the auditor by four court vendors. I would like to find an effective way to work with the auditor’s office, to ensure that court vendors are paid promptly for the services that they render for Geauga County residents. State Auditor Keith Faber offered to help mediate the court vendor payment issues involving the county auditor’s office. I readily accepted the state auditor’s offer to mediate. Unfortunately, I was advised by the state auditor that county Auditor Walder refused his offer of assistance: “… unfortunately you[r] local Auditor [Walder] was not [willing to mediate] … we have expressed our displeasure with him and his association over this decision.” Because I am committed to ensuring the Geauga County Probate/Juvenile Court provides the best possible service to this community, I remain willing to engage in a meaningful process to facilitate the proper processing of the invoices from the court’s vendors. I invite the county auditor to reconsider his refusal to have the state auditor mediate these issues. Timothy J. Grendell, Judge Geauga County Probate Juvenile Court

Investigations from page 1
In a public Facebook post, Laurie disputed witness accounts claiming the judge threatened Duncan, saying if the lieutenant was “shaken” by the encounter, it was due to actions taken by the auditor’s office. “The auditor’s office never should have put (Duncan) in this position in the first place because we aren’t dealing with criminal activity, we’re dealing with a county auditor who has a political agenda against Judge Grendell and is using law enforcement as pawns in his petty games,” Laurie wrote, using her personal Facebook account. “In fact, the lieutenant was instructed by Walder to arrest Seth and me if we ever enter the auditor’s office to conduct official court business in the future.” Laurie said because she and Miller are the court’s fiscal officers and all of the court’s financials are processed through the auditor’s office, she and Miller could be arrested for simply doing their jobs. Kate Jacob, the auditor’s chief compliance officer and administrator, informed Laurie July 2 the court’s payroll documents would only be shared through email or interoffice mail, in order to avoid further disruption caused by court employees entering the auditor’s fiscal office. In response, Laurie told Jacob her emails invite a criminal complaint and civil action under Ohio law, after Grendell issued an administrative order July 1 authorizing court staff “to conduct business in any public area, in any public office, with any public employee as needed for the court’s necessary and reasonable administration of its official business.” Any person who unlawfully attempts to interfere with or impede upon the court staff’s ability to perform their official duties on behalf of the court, Grendell wrote, would be subject to the court’s authority to enforce its orders — enforcement that includes the threat of contempt charges and arrest. Jacob, in turn, said threats of contempt or arrest could be considered felonies — one felony count for each threat. However, Geauga County Prosecutor Jim Flaiz, who would likely handle a felony case, said charges or complaints related to the conflict have not yet been filed. Charges have not been filed in the audi-

Court Limits Contact with Auditor’s Office On July 9, Geauga County Juvenile/ Probate Court Judge Tim Grendell issued a memorandum to advise the county auditor’s office that, effective immediately, except for the judge and magistrate, Patricia Behrend, court bookkeeper and human resources officer, will be the sole contact for the court to and from the auditor’s office. The memorandum also established that court Constable John Ralph was authorized and directed to assist Behrend with the physical delivery of court documents to the auditor’s office and pickup of court documents from the auditor’s office. “No other court personnel (except judge and magistrate) are authorized to communicate with or receive communications from the auditor’s office,” the memo states. “Authorized court personnel shall only access the public area within the auditor’s office when conducting the court’s official business.” tor’s misdemeanor complaint against Laurie and Miller for theft of paperwork, although Chardon Police Prosecutor Jim Gillette said he could not comment on an ongoing criminal investigation. According to sources familiar with the investigation, prosecutors are discussing having a special prosecutor appointed to review the matter. The court’s armed constable John Ralph picked up the court’s payroll checks from the fiscal office July 3.

Foundation for Geauga Parks Director Jeff Hyde holds a container of Geauga County maple syrup presented to him by the Geauga County Township Association after his program at the association’s quarterly meeting July 10.
Townships from page 1
District to buy and develop park land, Hyde said, but in 2015 it changed its name and its expanded its focus. “We want townships to know we are here … to help their parks,” he told a crowd of more than 100 officials at the Welshfield Inn during the GCTA quarterly meeting. “We want to build awareness here.” He outlined guidelines to qualify for funding from the foundation. First, the request has to flow into the foundation’s mission to independently raise money for community engagement with nature, Hyde said. The recipient needs to demonstrate financial need, be willing to collaborate with other organizations such as Chagrin River Watershed Partners and steer clear of politics, he explained. Munson Township is one example where officials have met the foundation’s standards to develop a park. Munson Township Trustee Irene McMullen said the township is in the final stages of the process to receive about $8,300 to create a 1.2-mile walking loop trail through the woods in Scenic River Retreat on Mayfield Road. The funds match a Natureworks grant and trustees are waiting for approval from the Ohio Department Natural Resources to begin the project. “I’m hopeful the foundation can do the same thing for other townships,” McMullen said after the presentation. Hyde said anyone wanting to initiate a park project and seek foundation support should call or fill out the form of the organization’s website, www.foundationforgeaugaparks.org. “We’re happy to have anyone come to our board meetings and present,” he said, adding requests don’t have to be formal immediately. The Foundation for Geauga Parks has been operating since 1990, buying The Rookery land (Munson Township) in 1991, raising over $1 million to buy West Woods (Russell Township) in 2002 and collecting about $3
The Foundation for Geauga Parks has hired Gretchen Faro, as director of development and operations, and Paige Orvis, as associate director of marketing and operations. “We are delighted to welcome Gretchen and Paige to our team,” foundation board President Jeff Hyde said. “Their non-profit experience, roots in and knowledge of Geauga County, and passion for our mission make them the perfect pair to help advance our important work enhancing parks, engaging people with nature, and providing environmental education to children of all ages.” A Bainbridge Township native, Faro served in the Peace Corps in the Philippines before returning to the Cleveland area, where she pursued a career in corporate finance, working in both the banking and manufacturing sectors. However, her positive experience in the Peace Corps ultimately drew her to the nonprofit sector, where she has served as an executive director for several organizations, including City Year, Big Brothers Big Sisters, Cleveland Lakefront Parks Conservancy and the Cleveland Public Library Foundation. “I grew up outdoors in the woods and fields of western Geauga County,” said Faro. “As an avid runner, hiker, equestrian, cross country skier, star gazer and nature-lover, I cannot imagine a better way to apply my experience as a nonprofit leader and fundraiser than to help the foundation preserve the natural spaces in the county.” Orvis, a long-time Geauga resident, has grown deep roots in the county’s conservation community. She previously enjoyed a long career with Geauga Park District and has experience in marketing, communications and development, most recently for Geauga Growth Partnership. “The conservation and protection of Geauga County’s unique natural resources has been a core value of mine from a young age.” Orvis said. “I couldn’t be more pleased to assist the Foundation in furthering its mission.” million in 2014 to purchase Observatory Park (Montville Township). More recently, it helped Geauga Park District buy Modroo Farm, one of the last large parcels of farmland in Russell Township. “It’s really special that a parcel of land that big has the potential to become a park,” Hyde said.

Chester Government Update Because of July 4, the regular meeting of the Chester Township Board of Trustees was held on July 5 at 12:30 p.m. In road department business, the receipt of $175,000 in matching funds from the Ohio Public Works Commission (OPWC) was confirmed. These monies will be used for resurfacing Sperry Road north of Heath and Heath Road east of Sperry in early 2020. A motion was approved to hire Jim Gardner as seasonal part-time road worker. Chief Mark Purchase provided an update on the implementation of Lexipol police policy manual. The implementation of the manual will save the police department 5 percent on their liability insurance. A $1,000 grant was received through the OTA to offset some of the cost. The grant can be applied for annually. The board, with Trustee Frank Kolk abstaining, accepted Kolk’s resignation as an alternate on the Chester Township Board of Zoning Appeals. A motion was approved for administrative staff compensation effective Jan. 1, 2019, reflecting a 2 percent pay increase. The board approved the use of the town hall parking lot on Aug. 10, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., for a Girl Scout car wash. A request for an ongoing reservation of volleyball courts by a local company and
church group for Sunday evenings in July and August was discussed. The trustees approved two weeks at a time for two of the three courts as a trial. A motion was also passed for the use of the Parkside Park baseball diamond for Metzenbaum Special Olympics softball games on July 16, July 18 and Aug. 1. The board also authorized the township administrative assistant to process and sign off on park applications. Motions approving the use will still be a board action. The board meeting also included the public hearing for the township’s 2020 budget. All department heads were present for the discussion. Various questions from the audience regarding compensation and levies were part of the discussion. Funding for the professional planner was not included in the temporary budget. The budget will be submitted to the Geauga County Budget Commission for its review. Fiscal Officer Craig Richter incorporated changes. The chair then closed the public hearing and the 2020 temporary budget for Chester Township for Fiscal Year 2020 was unanimously approved. Submitted by Frank Kolk, Chester Township Trustee

Business Spotlight: MyoFit Clinic
How Exercise Improves Mental Health By Dr. Adam M. Cramer, PT, DPT While the link between exercise and enhanced physical health is common knowledge, it is also important to recognize how vital exercise is for your mental health. A simple leisurely walk can boost your mood and overall sense of well-being. Recent research involving 419 healthy, middle-aged adults in their study. Each of them had their daily activity monitored over a four-day period. The difference was obvious in those who engaged in just light-intensity activity felt better about themselves and had lower depression. Those who undertook moderate-intensity activity had an even higher sense of well-being in addition to reduced severity of pain. Interestingly enough, those who engaged in vigorous intensity activity, meaning jogging or walking a mile in 13 minutes, reported no impact on their subjective well-being. The researchers concluded that even moderate exercise where people are out and moving but not pushing themselves too hard is actually helpful.
Determining the Right Amount of Physical Exercise
As a doctor of physical therapy, I encourage my patients to keep moving and engage in some form of physical exercise daily. Inevitably the question arises: “How much is right for me and what type of exercise should I do?” In a 2018 study published in “The Lancet Psychiatry,” researchers found that different
kinds of team-oriented sports, cycling and aerobic exercise are the most beneficial to mental health. They observed that almost any kind of exercise can help, up to and including performing childcare, doing housework, cycling, going to the gym and running. The researchers determined the participants who benefited the most in terms of mental health were those who exercised for 30-60 minutes three to five times a week. People who exercised for over three hours a day actually had worse mental health than those who did not exercise at all. When it comes to mental health and exercise, it seems, anything is better than nothing, but too much is worse.
Overall Components of a Healthy Exercise Program
All prescribed exercises are tailored to the specific physical needs of the client after a thorough evaluation is performed. Using a variety of different exercise including flexibility exercises, exercises to improve strength and range of motion, balance and proprioception exercises, exercises for vertigo and dizziness, functional mobility exercises and cardiorespiratory exercises. The person who has trouble walking after total knee replacement surgery needs a different approach than the seasoned athlete who wants to engage in specific sport conditioning. Bottom line: Exercise has a significant impact in improving mental health. Dr. Adam M. Cramer DPT, is owner of MyoFit Clinic in Chardon and Middlefield. References available at MyoFitClinic.com.

Church from page 1
the founders of the Baptist Church of Christ in Chester, which was organized on Aug. 4, 1819, with seven members, and five others united with the church by baptism that day. Soon after organizing in 1819, the church acquired the services of Rev. Goodale, and in 1831, a Sunday school was established and has been maintained ever since. When the church began, members met in homes, and in 1843 a small frame “Meeting House” was built on the southwest corner of Sherman and Chillicothe roads. In 1869, a motion was made to raise funds to build a new church that year. The present building was dedicated on Dec. 14, 1870, free of debt, and a 700 bell was soon added. This same bell still rings each Sunday to call people to worship. On a very cold day in February 1875, after service, the congregation went to the river and two members were baptized. The ice was reported to be two feet thick. In 1911, the church changed its name to Chesterland Baptist Church. In 1915, an addition built on the rear of the church provided two Sunday school rooms and room for social events that reflect a growing church. Electricity was first available to the church in 1920, and the church, parsonage and horse sheds were lighted. A partial basement was made under the church in 1937 by the digging efforts of the senior high class. In 1958, the facilities for education programs and social functions had become inadequate so fund-raising began for an expansion project for an all-purpose wing, completed later that year. A groundbreaking ceremony was held in 1994 - its 175th anniversary year - for a new addition to improve the building, and the fellowship hall was remodeled in 2018. After 200 years of service, the church still stands near the main cross roads of Chester Township. Chesterland Baptist Church continues to have a worldwide, as well as, local
ware and drinks will be provided. There will be a raffle and games. On Sept. 1, the group will go on the Nautica Queen cruise for a great view of the air show overhead. A buffet lunch and bus transportation is included. Cost is $80, or $83 for nonmembers. Call Jeri for reservations, 440729-2239. A tour of Chicago is planned for Sept. 2326.

Its mission of following Jesus Christ and spreading His good news is supported by a strong Biblical faith and a deep love for God and the community. It is the church’s desire to be a positive influence, a good example and a valuable resource to neighbors and friends and to continue to invite people to find a live a new life as they discover God’s incredible love for them. Several mission trips have been undertaken. Local community outreach activities have included food distribution, aid to local families and a free spaghetti dinner on the third Thursday of each month. A free vacation Bible school is openly provided to the community each year. Twelve people organized a church. It is still inspiring to contemplate the achievements, hardships and determination of all those who have preceded it over the past two hundred years and what tales the years could tell. When another 200 years shall have passed away, and the old bell rings out its call to worship, may it also be answered by a faithful company of believers who shall come together to worship the one true living God. Rev. Dr. Jerry DeHart, who had been a missionary in Japan for 15 years, became the pastor in December 2017. He is passionate about helping people understand the new life in Christ and gaining biblical wisdom that promotes love, forgiveness and grace. Sunday school is still held at 9:45 a.m. and a blended worship service follows at 11 a.m. Evening Bible studies are held on Sundays and Wednesdays. All souls who are confused, spiritually hungry and or messed up are invited to experience Christ. The public is welcome to join for free events during the church’s bicentennial celebration weekend. On Aug. 2 from 6-8 p.m., the church will host an old-fashioned hymn sing.
