Ferocious Defense Leads Wolverines to Rout Win
By Alan Kornspan sports@geaugamapleleaf.com
Playing on historic Byars Field, this game of the week between West Geauga and Parma was billed as a battle between top east side and west side high school football teams. Accordingly,
excitement was in the air as fans were ready to see a game which had the possibility of coming down to the last possession. West Geauga’s defense had another idea, though. In a dominating defensive performance, West Geauga cruised to victory,
defeating Parma 43-0. West Geauga’s defense, led by Lucas Sadler, Austin Pascoe, Joey Hornyak, Ryan Garvey and Chris Ranallo, held Parma to just 34 total yards. In fact, they only gave up 16 yards on the ground and 18 See Football • Page 5
Chester Police Ask for First New Levy Money in 19 Years By Ann Wishart ann@geaugamapleleaf.com It has been nearly two decades since the Chester Township Police Department asked property owners to pass a levy to support it. Police Chief Mark Purchase said the department operates on five levies, the newest approved
19 years ago. A couple older levies are continuing levies and one was passed to support a township constable long ago, he said. Chester Township property owners will have an opportunity Nov. 2 to vote on a five-year, 0.5mill additional levy to maintain the department’s buildings and equipment, not add new personnel,
Purchase said in a phone interview Sept. 8. If approved, the levy would cost homeowners $17.50 per year in additional taxes per $100,000 property valuation and yield about $204,859 per year, according to the Geauga County Auditor’s Office. See Levy • Page 6

Letters to the Editor Thank You, First Responders So, a not-so-funny accident happened on the way to my granddaughter’s soccer game. I thought I would cut the lawn before going since I had some time. Things were going well while riding my mower until I rolled backwards down the ravine. As I lie under my John Deere, I knew no one could see me nor hear me calling out for help. I knew it was best to remain calm. I managed to pull my cell phone out of its case with one hand pinned on one side to pass it to the other hand pinned on the other side. Lying on my back with my head toward the creek and my feet upwards toward the road, it took about 10 minutes to finally touch 911 and send out the call. Thank you to the dispatcher who answered and transferred my call to another dispatcher who rallied the troops. Yes . . . police, firefighters and paramedics raced to my rescue. They all dropped everything they were doing and came to the service and res-
cue of a resident of their community. As I lie there under the weight of the machine and being able to talk even though the seat was against my jaw, I listened as they assessed the situation. My fear was that a wrong move would cause the weight of the mower to damage my neck. They worked together to carefully lift the riding mower and pull me out and up the hill. I sincerely thank them for saving me from further physical harm. How do you thank the frontline workers who come to the rescue of those in need? For one thing, you do not defund your police, firefighters and paramedics. These servants are a Godsend in times of need and trouble. The sirens I heard in the distance gave me hope that help was on the way because neighbors and passersby could not see nor hear me from the road above. My story is one of thankfulness and appreciation to the women and men who serve our community. God bless you all and God bless America. George Minello Chester Township

yards passing. In addition, West Geauga’s defense collected five turnovers throughout the game, including three interceptions and two fumble recoveries. Lucas Sadler had a great game on defense. He achieved a blocked punt that led to a touchdown, an interception, and made a touchdown-saving tackle on a Parma interception return. The defensive line play of West Geauga’s Austin Pascoe was also stellar. Pascoe had numerous tackles for losses, and at times it looked like Parma’s line could not stop him from coming right into the backfield. In addition, Pascoe had a key block to allow Hornyak to score on the pick six. Having great games on defense themselves were Hornyak, who had an 82-yard pick six, Ranallo with a fumble recovery and interception, and Garvey with a touchdown off the blocked punt. “Our defense was lights out again,” West Geauga Head Coach Adam Sopkovich said. “That’s 10 straight quarters of scoreless football.” Early in the first quarter, with West Geauga leading 7-0 after an eight-yard touchdown pass from Danny Stewart to Torry Stazzone, the defense forced Parma to punt from their own end zone. On fourth and 26, making his presence known, Sadler broke through Parma’s line and blocked the punt in the end zone. Alertly, West Geauga senior Ryan Garvey leapt high into the air to catch the football while landing in the end zone for the touchdown. Joey Di Lalla added the extra point, and the Wolver-
Chesterland News
ines were up by 14 in the middle of the first quarter. Soon after, West Geauga would go up 17-0 early in the second quarter with a field goal by Di Lalla. Throughout the contest, Di Lalla scored 13 points, connecting on three field goals and four extra points. “Joey Di Lalla had a great game kicking the ball again,” Sopkovich said. West Geauga would continue to score both on offense and defense in the second quarter. With 8:13 left in the second quarter, David Fofana scored form 17 yards out. After a successful extra point attempt and a 46yard field goal by Di Lalla, West Geauga led 27-0 with five minutes to go in the second quarter. Yet West Geauga’s defense was not content to go into the second half with that lead. Late in the second quarter, Joey Hornyak intercepted the ball at Parma’s 18-yard line. With West Geauga’s players providing great blocking, and a key block by Austin Pascoe, Hornyak returned the ball untouched down the left sideline for an 82-yard pick six, and West Geauga took a 34-0 lead into halftime. West Geauga’s offense would put up nine more points in a fast-moving second half, adding a Di Lalla field goal and a touchdown run by Michael Cavasinni. West Geauga gained a total 234 yards of total offense, with 103 yards coming through the air and 131 yards on the ground. “We came out pretty strong in the first half,” Sopkovich said. “We put points on the board. I think we scored on every single possession in the first half, so that’s always a plus.” West Geauga next travels to Kirtland for a week four match up this Friday.

Levy
from page 1 “If it passes, we will not add staff or equipment,” he said. “We want to keep the men and women we have here working and to simply maintain everything we have.” The department has 15 full-time officers, a full-time administration person and a parttime patrolman, Purchase said. There are 12 officers on the roads, the chief, captain and a detective and one full-time school resource officer. He said the resource officer is paid 50% by the township and 50% by West Geauga Schools. The department is not supported by the township general fund, Purchase said. Over the years, the levies have been renewed regularly and two more are due in 2023 and 2024, but the department has not had an increase in additional funds for 19 years. In 2005, the township turned emergency
dispatch services over to the Geauga County Sheriff’s Office dispatch service which allowed the CTPD to save the cost. In 2009, a police renewal levy was lowered from 2.44 mills to 1.77 mills, returning about $1.8 million to residents through non-collection for 11 years, Purchase said. In 2012, Ohio, in an effort to balance its budget, cut local government funds from townships, shorting the police department about $40,000 per year, or about $500,000 since then, he recalled. The department survived and prospered by being careful and using the funds saved from eliminating the dispatch service, Purchase said. That has dwindled. “We are starting to burn through the carryover money at an alarming rate,” he said. “We would not tell anyone we need a levy if we did not really need it.” The efforts have not gone unnoticed. In March, Safewise listed Chester Township as the safest community for its size in Ohio, Purchase said.

From the Police Chief Dear Chester Residents, As you might expect, there are a significant number of concerns and issues that law enforcement administrators face every single day, but there are two that today cause me a great many sleepless nights. The two issues that have risen to new and unforeseen heights, with none more prominent, are first, the recruitment of police officers and, second, the retention of police officers. Like many others who chose the profession of law enforcement, I can’t think of a better path to have taken in my life. Allow me to reflect back to a time when I was beginning my career. I was a participant in entrance exams for Purchase new police officers in a number of local communities. I would pay my fee, complete my application and arrive at what was usually a high school cafeteria for the exam. What I saw was absolutely incredible — a sea of men and women choosing the same career path in life as me. There were hundreds of people all wanting to be police officers and taking the exam, for a community that wasn’t even hiring. The community was simply creating an eligibility list in case a position became available. Today is quite different. It’s become very difficult to find qualified candidates as the recruiting pool has become almost non-existent. We routinely hear firsthand accounts of agencies / communities cancelling their exams due to insufficient applicants, or offering the exam repeatedly because of low quality and a limited number of potential candidates. Fewer and fewer people are choosing to enter into this incredibly noble and proud profession, making retention even more important. We still have the same number of police agencies, the work load is constantly increasing and we now have an even greater need for the police officers themselves; however, there are not enough people to fill those roles. This is not a struggle that is unique to Chester Township or Geauga County and it is not limited to an individual state or even at the federal level. The problem of recruitment and access to a very limited number of potential applicants has become universal concern and knows no boarders or limitations. When this need for personnel becomes so strong and real — which it has — and other agencies cannot find qualified new applicants, they begin to look toward those already working within the profession. If that outside agency can provide a more secure and stable future, along with a more competitive wage, the interest and needs of an already employed
(Chester) officer may begin to stray and the circle begins all over again with the recruitment of candidates that just aren’t there. This is where the retention of police officers comes to the forefront. When any of us find good people, which I beleive we absolutely have, it is incumbent upon me to provide them with a secure and stable future with our department and to provide them with competitive wages. As for the proposal of a new levy, it’s not about adding additional personnel or buying equipment that we just don’t need. This is about providing a secure and stable future for our officers, providing them with competitive wages and ensuring that we continue to provide all of you with the very best law enforcement personnel and services. This is about having a plan, stabilizing our department and minimizing the impact to voters of any potential tax increase to only what is absolutely necessary. In the end, I am responsible for the longevity and investment of our most important resource, our personnel — and I need your help. You, the residents of Chester Township, have always been there to support your police department and this November I will be asking for your support with this new 0.5-mill levy. Thank you for your time, consideration and loyal support of your police department. If you have questions, I can be reached at 440-729-1239 Mark A. Purchase Chief of Police
