By Diane Ryder Chester Township officials realize the township’s cemetery is running out of available space, but trustees decided to postpone a planned expansion for at least six months because the trees that would have to be cut down house an endangered species. “We need to mark and drop 83 trees in order to expand the cemetery, but we’ve learned that the trees are home to the Indiana bat,” Trustee Mike Joyce said last Wednesday. “The Ohio (Environmental Protection Agency) has told us that the tree removal has to be done by April or we won’t be able to do it until fall.“ According to Ohio Department of Natural Resource records, the Indiana bat has been officially on the federal endangered species list since 1967. Bats are considered beneficial to the environment because they eat insects, particularly mosquitoes. “(The Geauga County Prosecutor’s Office) has advised us that it’s not a good idea to proceed now unless it’s an emergency, therefore we need to table this, even though we will lose another six months on the cemetery project,” Joyce said. The problem is, only a handful of grave sites are available, Township Road Superintendent Rob Pealer said. Under Ohio law, township trustees are obligated to supervise and maintain a township cemetery. “We’re very, very close to running out of plots available to the public,” Joyce said. “By law we have to make plots available and it’s going to be very close.” Pealer said the cemetery records are not well organized, but to his knowledge, only about 28 gravesites are unsold. He said there up to 40 other sites that might not be occupied, but he is not sure. The road superintendent said he is trying to make sense out of the existing cemetery records, which his predecessor kept track of without writing everything down. He said he will work to organize the records correctly, but it will take time. “There’s not enough information to constitute an emergency, so it’s better to table the project, get it done later and get it done correctly,” Joyce said. 8389 Mayfield Rd.

Joyce said he has been looking into ways to correct the problem. “I’m not prepared to discuss it at this time,” he said.

Joyce said the problem seemed to center around Fiscal Officer Karen Austin, who will leave office April 1. Austin did not attend the Wednesday meeting. “Even when the minutes were furnished in a timely manner, they seemed to be held up in the fiscal officer’s office. This is not a problem that just popped up; it’s been around for a long time,” Joyce said. “We’re going to work all that out.” He added he expects new Fiscal Officer Michael Stark, who defeated Austin by a 56-41 percentage margin in November, will be able to solve the problem. Chester Still Missing Eight Months’ Worth of Meeting Minutes (L to R) Maureen Mooney, Donna Van Oosten, Sue Geither and Kim Rataiczak, all of the Chesterland News, presented the Chesterland Chamber of Commerce Business Person of the Year award to Marc Habbouche of Danny Boys Restaurant during Thursday's event.

Chester Township officialsrealize the township’s cemeteryis running out of availablespace, but trustees decided topostpone a planned expansionfor at least six months becausethe trees that would have to becut down house an endangeredspecies.

“We need to mark and drop83 trees in order to expand thecemetery, but we’ve learnedthat the trees are home to theIndiana bat,” Trustee MikeJoyce said last Wednesday. “TheOhio (EnvironmentalProtection Agency) has told usthat the tree removal has to bedone by April or we won’t beable to do it until fall.“

According to OhioDepartment of NaturalResource records, the Indianabat has been officially on the

Bats are consideredbeneficial to the environmentbecause they eat insects,particularly mosquitoes.

“(The Geauga CountyProsecutor’s Office) has advisedus that it’s not a good idea toproceed now unless it’s anemergency, therefore we needto table this, even though wewill lose another six months onthe cemetery project,” Joycesaid.

The problem is, only ahandful of grave sites areavailable, Township RoadSuperintendent Rob Pealersaid.

Under Ohio law, townshiptrustees are obligated tosupervise and maintain atownship cemetery.

“We’re very, very close to

running out of plots available tothe public,” Joyce said. “By lawwe have to make plots availableand it’s going to be very close.”

Chester Township Trusteessaid last Wednesday theyremain frustrated that 34 sets ofmeeting minutes — about eightmonths’ worth — have neverbeen completed or approved bytrustees, as required under Ohiolaw.

“It’s been an ongoingproblem for eight years,”Trustee Mike Joyce said inanswer to a question fromresident Cathy Cotman.

“Don’t all four electedofficials share someresponsibility for this?” Cotmanasked.

Her husband, former TrusteeRon Cotman, said it was acommon problem during histenure for several reasons,including a lack of clerical helpin the township hall after oneadministrative assistant retiredand the use of audio tapes torecord meetings.

“Yes, the township routinelyfell three or four months behindin minutes,” Cotman toldtrustees. “On the tapes,sometimes you couldn’t hearthe speakers, so we had a bigproblem with it.”

“But that was different fromwhat you have now,” he added.

Cathy Cotman said theproblem now is the townshipalways had an administrativeassistant draw up the minutes.

“But for some reason(Trustee) Judy (Caputo) toldher not to eight months ago, sothe public has had no writtenminutes for eight months.Why?” she asked.

Caputo was on vacation,Joyce said. She did not attendthe meeting.

Joyce said he has beenlooking into ways to correct theproblem.

“I’m not prepared to discussit at this time,” he said.

During the public commentportion of the meeting, CamelotDrive resident Ken Manteybrought up the minutes issueagain.

“Apparently it’s a touchysubject, about who prepares theminutes,” Mantey said. “Itseems like you have a lot ofwork to do to define the processfrom now forward.”

Joyce said he would like tosee minutes added to thetownship’s website, as othercommunities do, and to see hardcopies made available to thepublic.

“It’s kind of mind boggling,”Ron Cotman told trustees afterthe meeting.

Joyce said the problemseemed to center around FiscalOfficer Karen Austin, who willleave office April 1.

Austin did not attend theWednesday meeting.

“Even when the minuteswere furnished in a timelymanner, they seemed to be heldup in the fiscal officer’s office.This is not a problem that justpopped up; it’s been around fora long time,” Joyce said. “We’regoing to work all that out.”

He added he expects newFiscal Officer Michael Stark,who defeated Austin by a 56-41percentage margin inNovember, will be able to solvethe problem.

friendly or fresh looking.Melissa Palmer, assistant to

the township trustees, said thewebsite was launched in themid-to-late-1990s.

Abbott said state fundscould be available to help builda regional website that wouldinclude several adjacentcommunities.

Each township or villagewould have its own page whereinformation about upcomingevents could be published, heexplained.

Trustee Jim Dickinson saidhe sees a township website asmore restricted in its scope andshould include only news andinformation related to thetownship government, such asthe repaving of roads.

There is a differencebetween a community websiteand a government website, hesaid.

Trustee Jim Mueller said awebsite could be used to createsynergies among thecommunities in the ChagrinValley.

Residents could learn about

such things as cultural activitiesand when to sign up forswimming lessons or littleleague through the website, headded.

Both trustees referred to theChagrin Valley Intergovern-mental Council, which iscomprised of membercommunities Bainbridge,Bentleyville, Chagrin FallsVillage and township, GatesMills, Hunting Valley, MorelandHills, Orange Village, PepperPike, Russell, Solon, SouthRussell and Woodmere.

“A purely governmentalwebsite would be like eatingsand,” Mueller said. “That’s notexciting.”

Abbott was originallycontacted by Trustee JustinMadden, who said his purposewas to find out what could bedone with a new website and ifany funds were available toimplement those changes.

Trustees asked Abbott toprovide a proposal with somesocial media interface.

“We’re tiptoeing into thewaters,” said Mueller.

In other business, trusteeswelcomed Michael McIvor as apart-time officer on the Russell

Township Police Department.Trustees also agreed to send

a letter of support to TheChesler Group to submit to theNational Trust for HistoricPreservation, recommendingthe ASM Internationalheadquarters on Kinsman Roadbe considered a historic place.

The complex includes amodernist building at the baseof the dome, designed byCleveland architect JohnTerence Kelly, that houses theoffices of ASM, a globalclearinghouse for technicalinformation on the science ofmaterials.

It was built in 1959 afterWilliam Hunt Eisenman, theorganization’s director from1918 to 1958, donated 100 acresof land for the headquarters.

ASM subsequently boughthundreds of acres ofsurrounding land, which it latersold to the Geauga ParkDistrict.

Today, that acreage is knownas The West Woods.

In late 2009, ASM was listedon the National Register ofHistoric Places, a designationthat helped it qualify for $2.4million in federal and statehistoric-preservation tax credits.

The credits helped pay for a$6 million renovation done byThe Chesler Group, a Clevelandcompany specializing inrenovation of historic buildings.

Russell Township Trusteesagreed last Wednesday toaccept $2,000 from WestGeauga Schools for costsassociated with the razing of theold bus garage behind thetownship police station.

The agreement requirestrustees to take ownership ofthe old single-wide trailer andthe fuel tank still standing in thelot behind the police station,said Trustee Jim Mueller.

Two offers for the purchaseand removal of the trailer havebeen received.

Removal of the trailer willend an ongoing interactionbetween the trustees and theschool district.

“I just want to see this goaway,” Trustee Jim Dickinsonsaid.

The board voted to acceptthe school district's offer and tosell the trailer for $650, thehighest of two offers.

The buyer will remove thetrailer, trustees said.

The property on which thetrailer sets was originally thebus yard for Russell School,Dickinson said later.

A large maintenance garagewas built there around 1924 andit all devolved to West GeaugaSchools when the area schoolsmerged.

Russell Township bought the2.95-acre parcel in 2000 with anagreement that the schooldistrict could lease the garageand yard at 14820 ChillicotheRoad south of the township firestation for $1 per year for 10years, Dickinson said.

A photo from the GeaugaCounty Auditor's Access

Geauga website shows morethan 30 buses parked in the lotbehind what is now thetownship police station.

The garage is located alongthe south property line.

Dickinson said when thedistrict stopped using the yardand garage, trustees decided tohave the garage taken down,but an environmental study wasrequired for possible groundcontamination and asbestos.

Who should pay for the$6,400 study was a point ofcontention, Dickinson said,adding neither the trustees northe district have wanted to takethe matter to court.

The garage was razed by thetownship following someasbestos abatement and last

Wednesday's decision willdispose of the trailer, he said.

If the township decides tokeep the fuel tank, it will haveto be reconditioned, trusteessaid.

The concrete slab fromunder the garage could be thefoundation for a badly-neededstorage building, Dickinsonsaid.

In other business, trusteesapproved use of the road garageparking lot on June 23 for theGeauga Humane Society’sRescue Village annualfundraiser “Doggone PurrfectNight.”

The township property willbe used for parking and ashuttle will transportparticipants to the event.

Few expected this year’sWest Geauga Wolverines boysbasketball team to win 16games, let alone finish the CVCChagrin at 8-4. Even fewerwould have predicted a gameagainst No. 2 seeded Cleveland-John Hay in the Div. IILakeside district semifinals lastweek.

But behind coach JohnCardiero, senior HaydenDiedrich and a group of seventalented juniors, the Wolverines

accomplished all of that,establishing themselves as anearly favorite to end Kenston'sthree-year run as CVC Chagrinchampions.

John Hay was too much forthe Wolverines, taking an earlylead en route to a 69-31 win.

“Sometimes you get beat bya better team,” Kyle Krousesaid afterward. “I’m going tomiss this, this year; it was sospecial, the feel of everything, ofbeing together. This wassomething we haven't had atWest G for the past two orthree years. We'll be ready nextyear.”

Despite a 12-10 first quarter,John Hay's matchup zonedefense made it difficult for theWolverines to get good shots.

The Hornets were alsostronger down low, which led to

multiple second-chanceopportunities on the offensiveglass for post players like ChrisCollins.

Junior Maurice O'Field, whoplayed as a freshman at NotreDame-Cathedral Latin, finishedwith 15 points, 12 rebounds, fiveassists and three blocks for theHornets, who went to lose 71-69in the district final to LakeCatholic.

By the fourth quarter,Diedrich checked out for thefinal time in his West Geaugacareer. Diedrich played fouryears under Cardiero, datingback to when Cardiero ran theWest G JV program. He was athree-year starter.

Wolverines’ 16-Win Season, aSign of Good Things to Come

Noah Bidar scored 13 points in the team's 69-31 loss to John Hay in theDiv. II district semifinals.

PHOTOS BY BILL FUGATE Hayden Diedrich (44) leaves the court for the last time as a West Geauga senior. Joined by Aaron Rabe, left, andKyle Krouse, Diedrich was a three-year starter for the Wolverines.

See Wolverines • Page 9

“He’s a great kid, a hardworker, a talented basketballplayer," Cardiero said. "Heunderstands the game reallywell. He's special. He's going tobe a tough one to replace."

Diedrich said this year'steam used teamwork to movethe basketball and have a "greatseason."

"Everybody got along a lotbetter this year," said Diedrich,who has been accepted toHiram College and plans toplay basketball there undercoach Steve Fleming, aNewbury graduate. "It was agreat season, and one I'll alwaysremember."

Senior Zak Kucera has beensidelined with a shoulder injurysince Christmas after he hadsurgery. Kucera plans to playfootball at the University ofDayton next year.

Expectations are high nextyear, said Noah Bidar, who had13 points.

"We're going to work hardand come back next year,"Bidar said. "I've never been apart of a team like this. We eatfive meals together a week as ateam. Everyone loveseveryone."

Said junior Aaron Rabe,"We need to work in theoffseason if we want to be thetop dog. We've got a lot ofpotential, and we can reallyexceed what we did this seasonif we hit the gym, hit the courthard. Our team chemistry was alot better this year. And thatwas the main reason for oursuccess. We're just a team.”

That must be music toCardiero’s ears. He will look tonext season as probably thedefining season of hisleadership of the Wolverinesbasketball program.

"They know what I expectand where we want thisprogram to be," he said after along post-game speech. "Nextyear could be just as special, ifnot more. There's a lot of hardwork still to be done."

CemeteryThe planned expansion of

the cemetery may be on hold. Trees that bats use for

nesting must be marked andfelled before April 1, otherwisewe must postpone the cemeteryexpansion until fall.

Because the tree removal ispart of a larger project, thisportion of the project may notbe split from the entire project.

determine how many plotsremain available at thecemetery.

The Geauga CountyProsecutor's Office is reviewingthe bid package.

RoadsThe resurfacing schedule for

2012 is established, however,the cost for asphalt is projectedto increase significantly thisseason, which may limit theamount of repaving that can beaccomplished.

As the weather breaks, youwill likely see members of ourroad department on our streetstrimming trees, maintainingberms and ditching.

This is routine maintenancethat is necessary to help roadsdrain, prolonging theirserviceable life.
