Parkman Township

FD Offers Advice on Amish Youth Center

By Ann WishArt Ann@kArlovecmediA.com

Parkman Township Fire Chief

Mike Komandt told township trustees April 16 the group creating the Amish youth center on Tavern Road has reached out to the fire department for safety advice while planning the facility.

“They are meeting with a civil engineer who told them to reach out to the fire chief. The civil engineer wanted the fire department requirements,” he said, adding the 12.36-acre site may need a fire protection pond.

The Parkman Township Board of Zoning Appeals approved variances for the construction of the youth center project March 12.

The Haven Youth Center Board of Directors is considering three preliminary prints for a building that may be 25,000 square feet in size with one or two inside basketball courts, Komandt said.

“They don’t know if they will have bleachers or seating on a mezzanine,” he said.

Board members have visited youth centers in Holmes County,

Ohio, Indiana and Pennsylvania to gather ideas for a center at 18040 Tavern Road, Komandt said.

“They seem extremely cooperative. It’s their community money going toward this project and they want to spend it in the most feasible way,” he said, noting he is willing to help them comply with the fire code.

The HYC board had previously bought a former deer farm property on Hosmer Road with the intention of putting a youth center there, but after push-back from the public, they withdrew their proposal and plan to clean it up and sell it, Komandt said.

In other business, trustees also heard a presentation from Kristi Pinkley — an environmental health specialist who works out of the Geauga Public Health office — regarding sampling of some septic systems in the township.

Pinkley said septic systems that discharge into a stream, river or above-ground spray types are required to be tested in the current operations and maintenance program.

“In Parkman Township, there

are less than 100 of these types of systems,” she said.

Owners of those systems will receive notices that explain about the program and will get result letters once the samples have been collected and processed, she said.

Cost for the sampling is $155, said GPH Administrator Adam Litke.

“We charge $155 and that barely covers the cost of staff time and the sample,” he said. “We have the lowest cost in the state.”

A previous effort to have homeowners voluntarily participate in the program resulted in only 8% compliance, he said, adding those numbers are concerning and could lead to more state involvement.

“It’s only a matter of time before the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency gets in the picture,” he said. “We’re trying to make this as painless as possible. There should be minimal impact to the homeowner.”

If a system does not pass, the reason will be determined and repairs must be made, he said, adding it is rare the entire system has to be replaced.

If untreated sewage is discovered in a ditch or waterway, the next step is to track it back to its source, Litke said, adding that could lead to OEPA involvement.

“We’re trying to protect the community as much as we can,” he said.

Homeowners with systems that don’t discharge into streams should have their tanks pumped every five to seven years, Pinkley said.

“Save your reports — make sure you get one,” she said.

“When the average resident sees a problem, they do the right thing,” Litke added. “I don’t want to be Big Brother — I just want to make sure no one is poisoning someone and to make sure the OEPA doesn’t come in.”

The systems being targeted should have a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit, which limits what can be discharged, requires monitoring and reporting and other provisions to ensure the discharge doesn’t affect water quality or people’s health, according to the USEPA website.

Ohio Statehouse Update

Ohio's local governments do an impeccable job maintaining essential services, including keeping our communities safe. The Ohio Senate is proud to assist them in this mission.

Public safety is the most important service our local governments provide. The state budget gives our locals more tools to continue and enhance this work.

By State Sen. Sandra O’Brien

House Bill 33 provided $46 million to upgrade counties to the Next Generation 9-1-1 system, which will improve emergency response systems throughout the state. This new technology will allow Ohioans to contact 9-1-1 via text message, smartwatches, home security systems and vehicle systems, and will also better direct calls made from cell phones and

voice over internet protocol systems to the correct jurisdiction to improve response times.

House Bill 33 also allocated $75 million to support the construction and renovation of county jails, $80 million for law enforcement training, and $24 million for school safety training grants to improve public safety in Ohio’s neighborhoods, schools and communities.

All of these resources will help keep you, your family and your neighbors safe and secure.

Sen. Sandra O’Brien is currently serving her first term in the Ohio Senate, representing the people of Ashtabula and Trumbull counties and most of Geauga County. She previously served three terms as the Ashtabula County auditor.

Faith Matters Small Town USA

I am truly blessed to have my home here in the Middlefield area. My wife and I moved to Parkman Township 30 years ago from Solon, where I grew up.

Small town rural life is where I like to be. People are mostly unpretentious and friendly. The open space, fresh air and slower pace lend themselves to appreciation of the simple things in life. It feels good to have roots down in the same place for a long time.

We raised our five children and sent them to Cardinal Schools. Each of them got a good education and were favorably positioned to do well at college and their ensuing careers. We loved watching them make friends, participate in sports, band, choir, the annual spring musical. They learned social skills, principles of leader ship and how to be good team players.

his work and won the admiration and respect of runners and coaches from all over NE Ohio. I will miss my conversations with Bill. However, his faith has moved him on to a better place.

How about you? Are you investing yourself in people, neighborhood, community or your place of worship? Middlefield is a wonderful place to live because people use their time, talents, business and vision to make it a better place. Each of us has something special to offer. Ordinary people willing to add their efforts make for a community where everyone benefits.

By Roger Kruse

I did many years of coaching little league baseball teams, middle school basketball and high school cross-country. We invested ourselves in the kids, their families and sought to share tools not only for athletic success, but also life and faith.

We pastored a church in the area for many years and helped families discover building blocks of faith, friendship and support. We reached out to local nursing homes, the Cleveland City Mission, and launched servants of Christ and mission teams all over America and the world, with the love and power of the Gospel.

Impactful things can happen when ordinary people come together to make a difference.

This past week I helped conduct the funeral for a good friend here in Middlefield. Bill was 89 years old and reminded me of my own Father, part of what they have called The Greatest Generation.

Bill was a dedicated family man, a hard worker and always ready to use his time and skills to serve others. He mowed grass at the Cardinal Schools grounds for many years. He also mowed and tended the 5K cross-country course that wound its way through grassy fields and adjacent woods. Bill took pride in

I have often mused on the words of Scripture in Acts 17:2628. It tells us God has determined the times set for us and the exact places where we should live. In other words, God’s providence and unfolding of His will in our lives is not by accident. There is a divine purpose for each of us to discover right where we are at. In fact, God’s Word goes on to say, “God did this so that people would seek Him and find Him, though He is not far from each of us. For in Him we live and move and have our being.”

Life is so much more than just earning a living, acquiring more stuff or even pursuing your chosen recreational pleasures. Rather, it is about family, faith and sharing your life in a community. God wants each of us to discover His love in Jesus and then bring that love to bear upon everyday life, impacting people along the way. That’s why I love Middlefield. That’s the experience of small-town USA.

Roger Kruse is happy to call Middlefield his home. Each day is an adventure of life discovered through family, friendships, community and walking with Jesus.
