Wolverines Beat Lions By Skin of Teeth By Rich Kelly sports@geaugamapleleaf.com Having put a blemish on the fine season of the West Geauga Wolverines with a holiday season victory over the Wolverines, the Notre Dame Cathedral Latin Lions knew the stakes would be high in their rematch in the district semifinal matchup in Division II action at Lakeside High School. With no secrets between the teams, execution was of the utmost importance. Using short runs during the rematch, the Wolverines had one late in the game, then had to hang on for dear life in the waning seconds as the Lions got one last push downcourt. It failed, and West Geauga moved on to a district title matchup with the Perry Pirates by way of a thrilling 48-46 victory over the Lions. See Basketball • Page 6

Newbury, West G School Boards Discuss Merging By Ann Wishart ann@geaugamapleleaf.com
ANN WISHART/KMG
Discussion about the future of Newbury Schools’ property began Feb. 18 in a joint meeting between Newbury and West Geauga school boards.
Adding a small school district to a larger one is like taking two jigsaw puzzles and fitting together all the pieces to make a clear picture. Newbury Schools and West Geauga Schools officials are faced with that challenge. On Feb. 18, they started discussing the process of combining the two districts at their first joint meeting at Newbury High School. Both boards of education, administrators, superintendents and a handful of interested residents,
including Newbury Township Trustee Bill Skomrock, started the meeting by touring the Newbury Schools campus. They trekked from the football field to the auditorium, where members climbed into the scaffolding to view the stage, then to all three floors of the high school. One West Geauga Schools Board of Education member voiced the opinion many residents from Chester and Russell townships had never been to the Newbury campus and probably underestimate the facility’s See Merger • Page 8

Westwood Drama Kids ‘Let it Glow’ March 4-6 Elementary Program Celebrates 21st Year
By Amy Patterson amy@geaugamapleleaf.com
For 21 years, students at Westwood Elementary School have sung and danced their hearts out for the annual school musical. With a district grade-level reconfiguration and merge with Newbury Schools on the horizon, this year’s play has a special meaning. Titled “Let it Glow,” this year’s performance is directed by fifth-grade teacher Daniel Reich, who has directed a musical every year since he started teaching in the district in 1999. He works alongside his wife, Megan, who has authored five of the plays, including “Glow” (2013), “Nursery Crimes” (2015), “Nursery Crimes II” (2016) and “Masterpiece” (2019). The play also features ‘Let It Glow’ original songs by Jeffrey MaPerformances guire and is produced by LuckMarch 5 at 6 p.m. witz and Danielle Gideon. March 6 at 7 p.m. About 150 students from second grade through fifth March 7 at 12:30 p.m. grade are participating in March 7 at 5:30 p.m. the play this year, up from the usual roughly 100. With the popularity of the school’s plays among family and friends, producers decided this year to run an extra performance March 5. AMY PATTERSON/KMG “We have no idea what this (play) will This year marks the 21st annual performance of the Westwood Elementary School musical, with performances on March 5, 6 and 7. Titled “Let look like in the future,” said Rochelle Luckit Glow,” this year’s performance is directed by fifth-grade teacher Daniel Reich, who has directed a musical every year since he started teaching witz, co-producer of the musical. in the district in 1999.

Next year, Westwood Elementary School will become a kindergarten to second grade building, while Lindsey will transition to grades three through five — meaning if the program continues, it will have to change. Reich said this year’s play goes beyond the ending of the previous fairytale production “Glow,” and explores the paths chosen by fairytale land characters. “The princesses have gotten their happily-ever-after, but they’re stuck in a rut,” Reich explains. Ariel wants to be a professional swimmer, for example, and Belle wants to go off to college. A promotional blurb for the play says the only person who can help solve the mystery of the princesses not being able to achieve their dreams is trapped inside a mirror. “She joins forces with a savvy fairy and sprite-in-training from the Academy of Good Magic and Enchantment to uncover the truth,” according to the play summary. “On their adventure they meet princesses, dwarves, villains and many others. But who’s to blame for the curse of ‘happily never after,’ and can things in fairytale land ever get back on track?” Reich said the plays would be hard to pull off without help from music teacher Deanna Harrison and musical accompanist Kim Brundage. Although Reich is not a music teacher, music and theater have always been a hobby for him. He performed with the Glee Club at The Ohio State University, and continues his passion for music through the plays at Westwood Elementary School and by helping put on musicals at Lindsey Elementary School. While some years, the play is produced from a script based on a popular show or movie, he said the amount of enthusiasm and talent in the students means it can be hard to find parts for everyone in a traditional play. “Every kid who wants to be in is given a part,” Reich said, adding this year, second-graders are playing pixies and sprites in the fantasy tale. Luckwitz said one of the charms of the program is that while the younger students perform in the play, their older siblings return from West Geauga Middle School or High School to help out. Her fifth-grader, Gavin, is playing Rumpelstiltskin in this year’s play. His brother, a seventh-grader, has been volunteering with the play and also played Rumpelstiltskin in a different musical when he attended Westwood. Co-producer Danielle Gideon’s children are both performing in this year’s play. Fifth-grader Gabriella plays Scoots, one of

Luckwitz said the program is self-funding through ticket sales and has always had a lot of parent support. “The annual musicals at Westwood are really quite a spectacle, especially for an elementary school,” Luckwitz said. “We are very proud of these hard-working and dedicated kids, and excited to have such great interest from our students.”

Basketball from page 1
The teams entered the fourth quarter tied at 36-36. Nikki Ehrbar untied it with a 3-pointer from the right wing. The lead was only brief. Annie Carney found Emma Liberatore in the paint for a short jumper to bring NDCL (14-11) to within a point, and Erica Leinweber made the last of her eight steals on the night and took the ball in for a layup for a 40-39 NDCL lead. Lauren Munko, who had a huge floor game for coach Bob Beutel in this game, put home a teammate’s miss to regain the lead, setting up the last short spurt of the game that proved to be so important. With 3:09 left to play, Liberatore hit both ends of a free throw opportunity to regain the lead. Athena Hocevar then sandwiched a 3-pointer from the top of the key and a jumper in the lane around another Munko steal and layup to give the Wolverines a 48-42 lead with 55.9 seconds remaining. To this point, the action had been fast and furious. But with both teams knowing each other well, mistakes happened in bunches. In that chaotic atmosphere, calls did not go well for both coaches, and frustrations mounted. Leinweber, who tied with Liberatore for game-high scorers with 18 points each, had a spectacular second half, with six of her eight steals constantly thwarting West Geauga rushes to the offense. Then Carney found her free for a layup to cut the gap to four, and moments later she grabbed a loose ball in the West Geauga end of the floor and went coast to coast for a layup with 11.8 seconds left. An errant pass gave the Lions new hope at that time, and they got the ball downcourt quickly for a shot attempt. The ball was poked free as players from both sides converged upon it near the top of the key. It looked like a Lion player got control of the ball. Coach Brian Arth yelled for a timeout, but his yells went unheard, and that was the ballgame. “It feels good to get this win tonight,” Beutel said. “I told the girls that if we lose this game, it would be considered an upset because we’re the top seed here. We came here expecting to win, though.” Balanced scoring was big for the Wolver-
ines (21-3). Athena Hocevar paced the attack with 12 points, Munko had a big game with 11 points, M. J. Thomsen played her normal game as the floor general with 10 points and five assists, Alexa Hocevar added eight points and 11 rebounds, and Ehrbar, who in recent seasons has been the main cog in Wolverine action, added seven points and four steals. Athena Hocevar was focused on helping her new teammate Thomsen, one of two West Geauga seniors on the roster. “M. J. just has been so big a player for us this season in helping us get to this point,” the 6-1 junior said. “We didn’t want to lose. We wanted to win this game for her, and it was a great game to win.” Munko has been a big role player off the bench. “I’m not usually the leading scorer on this team,” she said. “I am able to come into games and come through for my teammates when I have to, and tonight was one of those times.” Leinweber and Liberatore each scored 18 to lead the Lions. Close defensive pressure on the wings from West Geauga came up huge, as they limited Audrey Joyce to only a pair of 3-pointers and few good looks from anywhere on the floor, forcing the Lions to work inside against a plethora of tall Wolverine ladies. Liberatore more than held her own, snaring 12 rebounds as she normally does against taller foes. She also capped her great high school career with a trio of steals and two assists, but a possible missed call at the end put a damper on the whole thing for the girls from Auburn Road. “I’m just totally disappointed right now,” said Arth. “It all came down to one single play at the end. I thought we had possession, tried to call a timeout with an official right in front of me, and didn’t get it. “My girls played their butts off all night against a great West Geauga team, but like much of our season, we’ve had trouble winning close games. We played a great game. Erica was unbelievable on defense, and Emma was just Emma. She works so hard, like all the others, but too many mistakes hurt us tonight too.” West Geauga went on to lose its district title game to Perry, 62-46. Alex Hocevar led her teammates with 15 points and 10 rebounds while Athena Hocevar had 13 points and seven rebounds.

size and sophistication. West Geauga Treasurer Karen Penler commented the high school was much bigger than it seems from Auburn Road. Newbury Superintendent Jacqueline Hoynes said the district owns 39 acres. The tour took nearly an hour with small groups breaking out and holding quiet discussions in the hallways and the small gym at the former elementary building. When they reconvened in the old high school library, converted a few years ago into a conference room, Newbury Schools’ attorney Kevin Locke joined the conversation. In order to sell the real property – i.e. buildings and land – Locke said the district can offer it to a public entity that has taxing authority, such as a park board or a board of township trustees. If that is not an option, the property can be put up for auction and any money from sales will go into the district coffers to go to West Geauga Schools when the territory transfer takes place July 1, 2020, he said. Newbury Schools Board of Education member Dave Lair, past fiscal officer for Newbury Township, said the facility is too big for the township to maintain. “The township doesn’t have the financial resources to just take this over,” he said, adding in a phone conversation Feb. 22 if the township did become owner of all or part of the school facilities, the cost of maintenance and utilities would be too much for the township general budget, as it now stands. The high school and 12 acres were valued at about $580,000, the elementary school and 8 acres at about $600,000 by The Charles P. Braman and Co., of Beechwood, Lair said. If the 39 acres, zoned for residential use, were vacant, Braman estimated its value at about $700,000, he said. Board members also discussed last Tuesday what to do about the Newbury community recreation program that uses part of the school campus for baseball, softball and soccer teams that are not part of the district’s athletic program. West Geauga school board member Ben Kotowski said the school boards need to coordinate with the recreation boards and township trustees about the future use of the Newbury fields. The recreation board is made up of members appointed by trustees and the school board. “The township has put a ton of money into them,” he said, adding if the fields are no longer used, “a lot of people will feel they have really lost something.” Some of the athletic fields are part of the township-owned Oberland Park, and those fields east of the district’s buildings belong to the district. Newbury school board member Kimya Matthews said she understands the West Geauga rec program is at capacity with summer and fall programs and might be able to
work with the Newbury rec board and use the fields in Newbury. Working out the details of combining the two rec boards needs a lot of discussion, Kotowski said. He and Matthews agreed to spearhead that conversation with both districts’ rec boards and Newbury, Chester and Russell township trustees. The board also discussed having town hall meetings to inform residents and gather public input about plans for merging the two districts, including the rec programs. West Geauga school board member Kathy Leavenworth recommended hiring a professional facilitator to help manage the public input and aid the two boards in establishing priorities for the unification. The board agreed to consider at least two facilitators for the job at the next meeting, date to be determined. Leavenworth asked what needs to be done before June 30 and West Geauga school board President Bill Beers said it is unlikely the two boards will have a complete transaction plan in place by the July 1 territory transfer. Lair said Feb. 22 the joint board meeting was not held until February because changes in the boards, determined by November’s election, did not take place until January. “We should have significant public input by (June 30),” he said, recommending two town hall meetings be held before that date. “This can’t be an endless conversation that just spins around,” said Newbury school board President Maggie Zock. “We’ve got to have an end date for the conversation.” Lair said it is important for residents of the West Geauga district to get to see the Newbury facility. Zock also suggested placing a survey on the schools’ websites so residents can let their priorities be known. “Anybody (should be able to) go online and take the survey. We can break it down from there,” she said. West Geauga Schools Superintendent Richard Markwardt said getting Newbury Township Trustees involved is vital because they are responsible for the economic development of the township and a change in the use of the school campus will require their input. The social impact and residents’ identification with their school are also aspects trustees will be dealing with, he said, adding the boards should consider the broader aspects of the merger, then deal with the details. “What’s (the trustees’) vision for Newbury in five years, 10 years? How does the property fit in?” Markwardt asked. Zock and Beers said they will reach out to township trustees. Future joint meetings were planned for March and April, with dates to be determined. Beers said he would like to have the survey done by the end of May and plan for a town hall meeting after that.

Kiwanis Delivers 100 Bags of Hope On Jan 25, over 30 volunteers met at Word of Grace Church for the West Geauga Kiwanis third annual “100 Bags of Hope” food donation program to help Geauga County families with children that need help fighting hunger. Sponsored by Kiwanis, the food drive was inspired by Maureen Kilroy and Andrew’s Spirit of Hope, a wonderful local charity founded by Ron and Jean Horning in memory of their son Andrew with the goal of eliminating local childhood hunger. One hundred bags of groceries were packed with over a 2,300 pounds of food. The overflowing bags were distributed to local church food pantries, West Geauga local schools, Geauga
Job and Family Services and Geauga Veterans programs to assist local families in need. West Geauga Kiwanis thanks all the volunteers from Kiwanis, Andrew’s Spirit of Hope, the Boys and Girls Scouts and numerous community members.

Obituaries Patricia R. Jasko
Patricia R. Jasko (nee Jones), age 80, passed away peacefully at home surrounded by her family on Feb. 18, 2020. She was a 57-year resident of Chester Township and the owner/operator of Miss Pat’s Day Care Center for 45 years. Patricia served on many boards throughout her long career and was a longtime board member of the West Geauga Community Joint Recreation District. She enjoyed coaching soccer, being active in the Chesterland community, traveling, bowling, shopping, antiquing and going to auctions for her online store. Patricia was preceded in death by her husband of 57 years, Michael T. Jasko; parents, Charles and Helen; grandson Jackson; brothers, Robert Jones and Jim Jones; sister-in-law Shirley Jones; and brother-in-law, James Richards. She is survived by her children, Michael Jr. (Brenda), Michelle Cole (Michael), Tricia, Steven (Johnna) and Daniel (Lisa); grandchildren Michael III (Beth), Jennifer, Marcus, Angel, Chris, Michael (Jackie), Chandler (Haley), Ethan, Addison, Elizabeth, Isabella, John, Christopher, Dexter and Waylon; six great-grandchildren; sisters, Beverly Rich-
ards and Marge Vandestat (Chuck); sister-inlaw Sandi Jones; and many nieces, nephews, in-laws, extended family and friends. Our mom was truly a very special and unique person. She was not just a mom to us, she was a “Second Mom” to so many. Her employees were very special to her; she considered them part of her family. Even her customers were part of her extended family. She touched so many hearts through the years; she was a support system, a mentor, a teacher and a friend. She opened her heart and home to anyone. Friends may call at Gattozzi and Son Funeral Home, 12524 Chillicothe Road, Chester Township, from 12-3 p.m. and 5-8 p.m., on Thursday, Feb. 27, 2020, and from 12-3 p.m. and 5-8 p.m., on Friday, Feb. 28, 2020, where a funeral service will be held on Saturday, Feb. 29, 2020, at 10 a.m. Interment All Souls Cemetery, Chardon Township. In lieu of flowers, the family is requesting contributions in Patricia’s memory to the family to help with the expenses they have incurred for her care during the past year. Contributions can be made to Michelle Cole, P.O. Box 750, Chesterland, OH 44026. Online video tribute and condolences at www.gattozziandson.com.
Chester Government Update The Chester Township Board of Trustees meeting on Feb. 13 began at 6:30 p.m. with the board approving minutes dated Dec. 19, Jan. 2 and Jan. 30 as presented by the fiscal officer. During the public comments section, a resident asked if the board would look into Facebook Live to stream the meeting for residents that cannot attend meetings or would like to review meetings at a later date. The board would investigate the process. Anthony Nastasi, chairman of Chester Planning Committee (CPC), provided an update on the status of the CPC’s work of developing the public survey. The draft survey had been received from Cleveland State University and the CPC has met, reviewed and is in the final process of finishing the cover letter. Estimated dates are as follows: CSU to receive early March 2020 to final print, prepare for mail and stuff envelopes, next the mailer will be sent out in April and finally would be returned in May 2020. In road business, there was discussion regarding erosion control due to ditching. With the on and off winter of snow, the road department has already begun work orders on ditching and installing drive and road pipes in preparation for asphalt resurfacing in the coming months. Police Chief Mark Purchase recommended the transfer of court order/forfeited firearms from the police evidence room to Great Lakes Outdoor Supply, which the board approved. Also approved was an after the fact purchase order of $6,128.67 payable to Geauga Unibody for motor vehicle accident repairs to a police cruiser due to the insurance company having the check made out to township instead of making the check payable to the auto repair company and
mailing to same. In new business, trustees approved and signed cemetery deeds to Lowell Bonfield. They also approved to not request a hearing for a transfer of liquor license from Chester Floral to KMA sales at the same location and did not object to a liquor permit issued to Perky Kettle Ltd. The meeting ended with an executive session for appointment and compensation of public employees, with no action resulting from the session. The meeting closed at 9:35 p.m. In the special 3 p.m. meeting on Feb. 20, the board reviewed the survey cover letter and 2020 budgets with the fire, police and road department heads. Individual goals for the departments for the year were also reviewed. Each department will go back and review comments and do updates with their liaisons. The board entered into executive session for appointment and compensation of public employees. On return to public session, the board moved to approve Frank Kolk to the BZA alternate position to fill a five-year term ending Dec. 31, 2024. The board also moved to advertise for one opening on the board of zoning appeals as an alternate for a term ending Dec. 31, 2024, and one opening for an alternate on the zoning commission to fill the unexpired term ending Dec. 31, 2023. Letters of interest and resumes may be emailed to Mary Lou at mlflorentine@chestertwp.org or hand delivered or mailed to Chester Township Town Hall by March 10 at 4 p.m. With no further business, the meeting closed at 6:19 p.m. Submitted by Joe Mazzurco, Chester Township Trustee
