While students were busypreparing for the first day ofschool this week, so wereGeauga County school officials.

However, instead of buyingthe usual school supplies, thedistricts were ensuring studentswould feel safe when enteringschool grounds and insideclassrooms.

Since the February schoolshooting at Chardon HighSchool, which left threestudents dead and three injured,many districts have beenstepping up their schoolsecurity measures.

"We are under pressure torestore the learning environ-ment at the high school, whichhas been torn apart since Feb.27," Chardon Schools Super-intendent Joe Bergant said."Our mission is to restorelearning and we are doing a lotof work."

He said it was a smooth

transition for new students whowere easing into this new schoolyear last Monday.

"Everyone seemed upbeatand wants to get back in theroutine of education," he said.

The district has madecounseling available forstudents who may still befeeling the effects of thetraumatic event or havetriggered emotions as theyreturn to school, Bergant added.

There have been changes tothe school security withadditional cameras that canrecord activity placed in Parkand Maple elementary schools.

Bergant said next summer,more cameras would be addedto the remaining elementaryschools in the district.

Some community membersmay remember old-fashionlocks on the high school'sclassroom doors.

Bergant said with the newlocks installed this summer, theteachers will have the ability to

lock the door from inside theclassroom.

Administrative staff, teachersand other classified schoolemployees also participated inthe online safety-trainingprogram, which is obligated bylaw.

West Geauga and Kenstonschools superintendents didn't“chicken out” Thursday at TheGreat Geauga County Fair.

Both went head to headduring the annual chicken flyingcontest where new West GeaugaSuperintendent Geoff Palmer wastrumped by Kenston Super-intendent Robert Lee.

Despite cheers from WestGeauga students seated in anearby small grandstand,Bomber, the Kenston bird, outflew Mascara, the West Gchicken, which did an in-flight U-turn, landing in an area behindwhere it was pushed out of amailbox by Palmer.

Bomber — gently pushedwith a plunger by Lee — flewstraight and true, making it 11

feet, 7 inches, before landingwhere dozens of young, anxiouschicken catchers lined up in thecorral of the small grandstandand grabbed him.

A loud, victorious roar arosefrom Kenston students seated inthe grandstand for the contest,which started between WestGeauga and Kenston four yearsago.

Geauga County Commis-sioner Walter “Skip” Claypoolfeels federal grants to localgovernments and individuals addto the growing $1.1 trillionnational debt, most of which hecontends is money borrowedfrom China.

Thursday, Claypool madeknown his opposition to federalgrants that he and fellowcommissioners Mary Samideand Tracy Jemison approvedwhen said he would no longervote to approve EnvironmentalProtection Agency grantsavailable to help people whocannot afford to replace failingseptic systems.

The Aug. 30 commissionersmeeting was held in the JuniorFair Pavilion at The GreatGeauga County Fair in Burton.

Claypool, who displays afederal deficit clock at eachcommissioners meeting, expr-essed his displeasure the grantsafter he voted to approve a$22,380 Ohio EPA grant toreplace a residential septic systemin Russell Township.

He explained he approvedthe payment of the grant moneyto Excavation Works, Inc. onlybecause the county hadpreviously approved the septicsystem’s installation.

However, Claypool said hewould no longer vote toapprove such grants.

“What right is it, if somebodytakes on the responsibility to buya home, to expect the taxpayers topick up the burden if somebodyhas an issue or problem?” he

Lee’s prize was a trophy — ayellow chicken.

Groups of students fromboth schools were given atimeout from educational“Geauga Leans” tours of thefairground’s agricultural barnsand facilities.

Sponsored by GeaugaCounty Probate and JuvenileCourt Judge Tim Grendell,“Geauga Leans” was startedseveral years ago when Grendellwas a state senator to teachchildren with little knowledge oftheir nearby rural neighborsmore about agriculture and itsimportance to American life.

Grendell and his wife, 11thDistrict Court of Appeals JudgeDiane Grendell, sponsored thisyear’s annual Great GeaugaCounty Fair Chicken FlyingContest, which was hosted by(WOIO) Channel 19 noon

weather forecaster JasonHandman.

Handman paused thechicken flying contest longenough to do a live weatherbroadcast, which drew sighs ofrelief from a few fair officials.

Handman predicted therainy remnants of formerHurricane Isaac would hold offuntil Monday rather than comecharging in Saturday asoriginally predicted.

Eight roosters and 26 henswere pushed out of theirmailbox perch by Fair BoardPresident Bob Rogish.

Surprisingly, a greaternumber of chickens made thesame U-turn like Palmer’schicken did, landing behind theelevated stand from which theywere launched.

One drew a few moos fromcows in a nearby barn when itflew to safety on the barn roof.

“I would fly the oppositedirection if I was going to be

chased by all the kids lined upout there,” said a man whostopped to watch the contest.“The poor thing probablylooked down from up there inthe mailbox and said, ‘No way’baby.”

The overall winner of thechicken flying contest was Fool,a rooster owned by ChardonHigh School freshman RachaelBanks.

Fool and Toffee, a chickenowned by Lana Strimbu, also aChardon High School freshman,were the finalists in the contest.

Toffie flew 29 feet, 3 inchesduring first flight — the longestof the contest — while Foolflew 21 feet, 9 inches during hisinitial flight.

However, Toffee then joinedthe ranks of the U-turnchickens, while Fool flew 11feet, 7 inches, winning Banksthe $75 first prize.

Strimbu walked away with$25 for Toffee’s efforts.

Kenston Schools Super-intendent Robert Lee said thehigh school assistant principal,along with a representativefrom the Bainbridge PoliceDepartment went to an ALICEtraining program and broughtback some things that will beintegrated into the schools'security response plans.

"It was found that runningand hiding, and a passiveresponse to an active shooterincreases the number of injuredor (fatalities)," Lee said."ALICE brought out someother additional security itemsfor the schools to minimize theimpact of a shooting."

Kenston school officialshave also been working onpreventative measures toaddress student issues such asbullying with the Peaceful

Environment At Kenston(PEAK) program, he said.

Lee added the district'srelationship with law enforce-ment has changed over theyears as there's more coordin-ation between the two entities.

In fact, more schools areworking with their local lawagencies to keep schools safethrough preventative programs.

West Geauga Schools Super-intendent Geoffery Palmer saidcameras have been added thismonth in Westwood Element-ary School through RussellTownship Police Department.

James Russo, operationsmanager at West GeaugaSchools, said the policedepartment is picking up thecost, which is estimated at$17,000.

"All the buildings are up tothe same level," Palmer said."That building, we had someconcerns, so they addedcameras to our secure entrywaysystem."

The Wolverines varsity golfprogram sets small goals eachseason, a requirement in theChagrin Valley Conference'sChagrin Division, one of thetoughest golf conferences in thearea, with Aurora, Chagrin Falls,Kenston and Orange perennialpowers.

“We just want to improve inthe CVC and move up a bit,”said Jay Kletecka, the team'scoach in his fourth season.

West Geauga has moved toFowler's Mill Golf Course inMunson Township, a course thatKletecka feels will improve theWolerines program.

“We’re getting a bettersummer program,” he said. “Sowe're getting kids who are moreprepared now. Fowler's hasbeen great to us. One of thepros there is a former West Gstudent.”

At the top of the team, thereare three consistent scorers,Kletecka said, in Matt Forrai,T.J. Onderdonk and Milan Tropf.

Kletecka said the teamneeds one of the other three —Jeff Gaetjens, Nick Paternittiand Cody Setlock — to playmore consistently for the teamto win more matches.

West Geauga traveled toPleasant Hill Golf Course inAquilla Village to participatewith CVC Valley teamsBerkshire and Cardinal in anon-league match last week.

The Wolverines had 179total strokes from the top fourfinishers: Forrai (shot a 41),Onderdonk (45), Gaetjens (46)and Tropf (47). Berkshire (156)

and Cardinal (176) both shotbetter.

Forrai, despite having thefifth best score on the day, wasnot happy with his performance.

“I came into the last holetwo over and ended up notdoing so well on that last hole,”Forrai, a sophomore, said.

He said the course was inbetter condition than he hadever seen it.

“It’s not too different fromlast year,” Forrai said. “I playedvarsity last year. It's high schoolgolf. You can’t take it tooseriously or else it's not fun.”

Junior Jeff Gaetjens alsowished he could have playedbetter.

“I had two doubles, which Ireally could have done without.But all in all I played OK,” hesaid.

Gaetjens added he has shotwell in practice but has“exploded,” as he said, inmatches.

“I don't really know what it is,but something about finallydoing, like, the real thing, playingreal in matches has just gotteninto my head,” Gaetjens said.“I've never really done well in amatch before. I'm a littledisappointed but it's early on, butI'm hoping to do better later.”

Gaetjens, who has not golfedvarsity until this season, thinksit's a mental thing.

“That or I'm really used tomy home course and not manyother courses,” he said.

Milan Tropf said he hadpoor tee shots.

“I just really could not figureout my drives today. That's whatreally killed my game,” Tropf said.

On playing the difficult CVCChagrin course, Tropf said theteam just tries to relax.

“If we have a horrible round,and I think they both agreed,” hesaid gesturing to his teammates.“If we have a horrible round, wejust shake it off. I mean, some ofus do really well one day, andthen some of us the other dayjust flat out don't do well at all.We just have to relax, and that'swhat we do. We just go out thereand have fun.”

Kletecka said Forrai, whojust missed districts last seasonas a freshman, has a chance to gofar in the postseason this yearand possibly qualify for the statetournament before graduation.

The Wolverines golf Sept. 4at Fowler's Mill against ChagrinFalls. The Chagrin ValleyConference’s Chagrin tourn-ament is set for Sept. 20 atLegend Lake in Chardon.

asked. “If I have a paintingproblem, is the next step to expectthe government to pick up thedebt of painting my house?”

Rather than acceptinggovernment grants, people whoare mandated to replace septicsystems should have the costapplied as an assessment totheir property taxes, he added.

Holding up a photo of his 10children, Claypool said, “Thereare other ways of approachingthose problems rather thanburdening my grandkids — yourgrandkids — with the costs.”

County Administrator DavidLair quickly noted Claypool washolding the photo upside down.

“This type of grant is not ourtax dollars coming back to us,” therecently appointed commissionersaid. “This is purely a corruptsystem that is being used toindebt the future of our kids andour grandkids.”

Responded Samide, “Noteverything is so cut and dry.”

She explained the grants aremade available to help low-income people who cannot affordto replace their septic systems.

Many people who need theirseptic systems replaced arelong-time county residents whoare living on fixed incomes andare faced with the high cost of

installing new septic units,Samide said.

“If you find yourself in thisposition, what do you do?” sheasked. “You may have your housepaid for, but you may not havethe extra cash to fix your septicand they (EPA) are breathingdown your neck to do it.”

Neither can the countyhealth district and the stateEPA ignore homeowners withbad septic systems “because thisis a health issue,” Samide said.

“So we’re stuck with cleaningup our septic (systems),” Samidesaid.

Claypool said he wouldcontinue to bring the debt clockto commissioners meeting untilhis temporary term expires inNovember.

The Geauga CountyRepublican Party’s CentralCommittee appointed Claypoolas a temporary commissioner inearly July to fill the seat of retiredCommissioner Bill Young until anew commissioner is elected.

Samide, who was defeatedby fellow Republican RalphSpidalieri, was selected by thecentral committee as the GOP’sballot candidate.

She is running againstDemocrat Jim Dvorak.

In other action:• Fair Board President Bob

Rogish was presented certificatesfrom the Ohio auditor’s,

treasurer’s and secretary of state’soffices commemorating the 190-year-old Geauga County Fair asthe oldest county fair in the state.

The certificates also notedthe sound fiscal management ofthe fair.

• The commissioners appro-ved a resolution honoring the 4-HHare Raisers Rabbit Club for itscontinued success in leading 4-Hfundraising for the GeaugaHunger Task Force.

This year, the 4-H HareRaisers raised $3,076.90 for theGHTF, the most it has collectedin eight years, said Rev. EdPeterson, task force president.

The money purchased nearly1,900 food items, enough toprovide about 12,000 meals,Commissioner Tracy Jemisonsaid.

• The commissioners appro-ved a resolution honoring thelate Reno “Jay” Reda Jr.,former Ohio Department ofNatural Resources wildlifeofficer for Geauga County, forhis work in creating the fair’snatural resources area, alsoknown as “Reno World.”

Reda died of cancer earlierthis year.

• The commissioners honor-ed the work retiring GeaugaCounty Engineer RobertPhillips has done over the last30 years.

In memory ofRichard Sneller

No matter what the sport, Dick Sneller was a teamplayer. His love of athletics was only overshadowed byhis enjoyment in working with young athletes.Throughout his productive life, Dick continually strivedto provide recreational opportunities locally for ourcommunity’s youth and to develop our children’s talentsso they could reach their fullest potential. For 25 years Dick positively influenced many studentsas a physical education teacher at West Geauga. Whilein the district he coached varsity wrestling, freshmangirls’ basketball, eight grade football, and girls’ varsitysoftball. He also was an assistant athletic director forfour years during the 1970s. One of his most notable achievements at WestGeauga was starting a wrestling program. With a lot of

interest but little money, he recruited athletes, gathered some supplies and formed ateam. Dick coached the school’s varsity team from 1961-65 and was its freshmancoach for seven years after that. As a student athlete at Shaw High School in East Cleveland, he excelled in baseball.During his junior year Dick was the catcher on the state championship team in 1944.He continued his involvement with the sport through coaching and umpiring andthrough his association with the West Geauga Baseball Federation. Many of hissummers were spent at Parkside coaching various teams, umpiring for severalleagues and performing maintenance on the field. Dick also helped establish a community youth football program in Chester andMunson townships that later became a project of the Chesterland Lions Club. Dick received a bachelor’s degree in education from Ohio University and served asa corporal in the Marines. Shortly after he married, Dick moved to Chesterland in 1949. He and his wifeopened a sporting goods store in Mayfield Heights, and later opened a similar one inChesterland. Dick was diagnosed with cancer shortly after retiring in 1985, and he spent his lastyears at his home in Russell with his wife, Joan, and son, Jeffrey. Dick Sneller’s lifetime commitment to offer and enhance recreational opportunitesfor youth will be remembered for years to come.
