A sharply divided board oftrustees tangled during a lengthydiscussion Thursday over how touse an 80-acre parcel on thenorthern edge of the ChesterTownship.

One trustee accused theother two of shutting him out ofthe planning process.

Calling the board “dysfunc-tional,” Trustee Ken Radtkeaccused Trustee Chairman MikeJoyce of meeting privately withlocal Kiwanis Club members toask them to come up with ideasfor the township-owned propertyat 11255 Chillicothe Road.

Radtke also questionedwhether Joyce went behind hisback to ask the township’sZoning Commission to conduct acommunity survey to find outwhat residents would like to dowith the parcel, much of it wet-lands.

Radtke also voted against hir-ing locally based MarinoSurveying for $3,700 to surveythe parcel.

“At the last township trusteesmeeting, some emotion wasinvolved,” Radtke said. “Why didMr. Joyce schedule a Dec. 2meeting (with Kiwanis Clubmembers) at such short notice?”

Addressing Joyce, Radtkeadded, “One comment you madeat that Dec. 2 meeting was if theboard’s not on the same page, itsends a bad message; well, thisboard’s not on the same page. Ina Nov. 29 email, you said you’dbe talking to Chesterland

Kiwanis and I think you broughtup some valid questions. But onNov. 28, you rushed an invitationout for a Dec. 2 meeting.”

Radtke said he sees “what ishappening here” and doesn’tthink it’s a positive reflection onthe board, adding the audiotapeof that meeting showed Joycetold Kiwanis members he wasnot concerned about their com-plaints about all terrain vehiclesusing the property.

“Are you aware we have a

contract with the WesternReserve Conservancy aboutthat?” he asked Joyce.

Radtke said that Joyce’smeeting should have been a pub-lic one with other board mem-bers present and that Joyceshould not have represented theboard at the meeting.

Joyce said he called the meet-ing as a single citizen and toldthe club that.

“I respectfully request theboard let the rest of the boardknow what’s going on,” Radtkesaid. “Just let me know.”

He added, “One campaignpromise I made when I ran wasthat we would hold a publicmeeting about the parcel. Iwould like to request it after thefirst of the year. This is going toimpact our permanent appropri-ations. This board’s unwilling tohave a public meeting.”

Joyce shot back, “I didn’t saythat,” adding he thought theboard should have a meeting onthe issue later.

“You went and had a privatemeeting instead,” Radtke said.“If you don’t set a public meetingfor this, I will go ahead and setone.”

Radtke, visibly angry, said hehas been consistently left out ofthe communications loop andtold Joyce that on Friday, Dec. 7,he learned from a newspaperreporter that Fairmount Mineralswas moving its corporate head-quarters to Chester Township.

“I told her I hadn’t heard thatand asked her how she knew,”Radtke said. “She said that you,Mr. Joyce, had told her.”

Radtke asked Caputo whenshe had heard about the moveand Caputo said she had heard itat a recent Opticon meeting fromMunson Township Trustee IreneMcMullen.

Radtke said it was anotherexample of lack of communica-tion.

“I don’t like the direction youare going,” Joyce said.

Munson Township ZoningInspector Tim Kearns just wantsit to end.

“Moving Ohio Forward — thesaga continues,” he told MunsonTownship Trustees on Dec. 11.“That house comes down inJanuary.”

Kearns was talking aboutKristopher Klingmann’s aban-doned nursing home on Rock-haven Road that township, countyand state officials have declaredunsafe and unsalvageable over

the last three years.Yet, it is still standing.Klingmann, who has sought

funding twice to help him dis-pose of the once famous struc-ture, was not present lastTuesday to object to Kearns’pronouncement, but he knowsthe score, the zoning inspectorsaid.

Receiving the Moving OhioForward grant is still uncertain,Kearns said, adding it doesn’tmatter.

The building can be torndown and the grant could be

awarded later, with the townshipbeing reimbursed at that time, hesaid.

If the grant does not materi-alizes, the cost would be collect-ed from Klingmann on his prop-erty taxes, trustees have said.

Meanwhile, legal counsel hasadvised the township to start —again — from the beginning, get-ting quotes for the work.

In case the grant becomesreality, a search for liens againstthe property going back severalyears also has to be made. Inaddition, Klingmann needs tosign a waiver of liability, Kearnssaid.

“He doesn’t like Munson notbeing responsible for every-thing,” Kearns said, adding, how-ever, the paperwork won’t holdthe project up.

“I told him we’re doing thisin January,” he said.

The next step will be to go tothe Geauga County Treasurer’sOffice and find out if the taxesare paid up to date, Kearns said.

When the township wentthrough this before, Klingmannhad taxes due, but Kearns addedhe believes those have been paidoff.

In one respect, both thetownship and Klingmann arefortunate because an Ohio

After a heated discussionabout whether they had thor-oughly researched the issue,Chester Township Trusteespassed a resolution Thursdaycondemning hydraulic fractur-ing as a gas drilling procedureand asking the State of Ohio torepeal laws taking away localcontrol over drilling.

The vote was 2-1, withTrustee Ken Radtke saying hestrongly opposed the measure.

“For the record, I do have agas well on my property,”Radtke said, adding he works asa consultant in the oil and gas

industry and has done work forthe Environmental ProtectionAgency.

Chester Township Passes Anti-Fracking Resolution

By Diane Ryder

Geauga County Commis-sioners have approved extend-ing a sewer line along stateRoute 306 in Russell Township.

The sewer line extension willadd seven properties to theRussell Park WastewaterTreatment plant and bring it tocapacity, county Department ofWater Resources officials saidThursday.

“We’ve been going throughthis (planning) process for two

years now with the trustees,”Sanitary Engineer GerryMorgan told commissioners.

The seven properties arenear the Kinsman Road/Chillicothe Road intersectionand include a Shell gas station,the Circle K convenience store,a veterinary clinic, a beautysalon and three township prop-erties, including the townshiphall, Morgan said.

“This was initiated by

Radtke shot back, “I don’tlike that you don’t tell us(trustees), but you tell a newspa-per. It shows lack of respect foryour fellow board members.”

He said he believes there isan obvious attempt to preventhim from conducting townshipbusiness for which he was elect-ed.

Radtke added, “Earlier thisyear, you both said you wereopposed to liaisons (with the

departments) so I am making amotion to rescind Mike Joyce asliaison to the zoning inspector.I’d just like to be consistent.”

Caputo seconded it.All three trustees, Joyce

included, voted yes.“I also move to require the

zoning inspector to issue a bi-weekly written report,” Radtkesaid.

Caputo said she was notgoing to second that motion “atthis point.”

Radtke then reiterated heresented hearing about theFairmount plans from a reporter

and called the board dysfunc-tional.

The audience of about 20buzzed and murmured in appar-ent agreement.

“Excuse me? Really?”Caputo said to the audience.

Caputo denied leavingRadtke out of the loop andpointed out instances when shediscussed financial matters withhim.

“It works both ways; it’s atwo way street,” Caputo toldRadtke.

The arguing continued dur-ing the public comment periodat the end of the meeting.

Cathy Cotman asked Joycewhy he wanted to hold off call-ing a meeting in January to dis-cuss the 80-acre parcel.

“I don’t have a crystal ballwith me,” Joyce said, adding hewanted to meet with the mem-bers of the zoning commissionfirst to discuss their definition ofa park.

“Once I get comments fromthem, I will call a meeting,”Joyce said.

Radtke said that conversa-tion should “start at the boardlevel.”

“I disagree,” Joyce said. “Letthe Kiwanis decide what theywant to do rather than handthem a homework assignment.”

After several other com-ments from the audience, Joycesaid, “We’ve discussed this 80acres to death now. Nothingmore can be accomplished bycontinuing this discussion now.”

After a few more commentson related topics, trustees wentinto executive session to discusscontract negotiations.

DIANE RYDER/CNChester Township has owned this 80-acre parcel on Chillicothe Road formore than a decade and are debating how best to use the property.

Radtke repeatedly asked theother two trustees whether theyhad researched the issueenough to pass it after receivingthe proposal Wednesday.

“Mr. Welty asked me to putthis on as a discussion item,”Trustee Judy Caputo said, refer-ring to Fred Welty, a Democratwho ran unsuccessfully againstGeauga County CommissionerTracy Jemison in November.

“I feel that the townshipshould have some controls,”Caputo said. “He asked me toput it on, so I asked it be put onthe agenda.”

Radtke asked both trusteeswhether they had enough

knowledge of the issue to makea decision about a proposed res-olution they had just heardabout the day before.

“I served as zoning inspectorin Chester Township for 12years and two years in Bain-bridge, and I’ve talked beforethe House of Representatives inColumbus on this,” TrusteeMike Joyce said. “And I knowof people who have beeninjured with gas wells.”

Joyce said that, to his knowl-edge, Chester is the only town-ship in Ohio with drilling regu-lations “still on the books,” and,although they are not enforceableunder current state law, the reg-ulations remain there so thetownship will be prepared if thelegislature decides to grant thetownships authority again.

Under persistent question-ing from Radtke, Joyce said heknew of at least one injurylocally from a leaking well.

“And there were at leastthree fires I know of while wellswere being drilled,” Joyceadded.

Caputo said she has attend-ed meetings and seminars onthe subject.

“I think our infrastructure asfar as water goes is important,”Caputo said.

“It is,” Radtke agreed, butasked both trustees whetherthey were familiar with HouseBill 315, which regulates hori-zontal well drilling, brinehaulers and gives the OhioDepartment of Natural Resou-rces sweeping authority overthe drilling process.

“It’s one of the nation’stoughest regulatory docu-ments,” Radtke said. “We gotthis request yesterday, which isan inadequate amount of time. Ithink it’s very important thatthe board does research beforeconsidering something like thisthat is overly broad and lackingspecifics.”

According to Radtke, 16,000horizontal wells have beendrilled in Texas and one so farin Ohio, since 2008, with nogroundwater contaminationreported.

Caputo and Joyce toldRadtke that the ODNR hasnever conducted tests on hori-zontal wells, which Radtkequestioned.

Caputo said that an injectionwell in Hambden Township hasreceived a large amount oftruck traffic as trucks haul brinefrom horizontal wells inPennsylvania.

“I think it’s a shame there isno kind of local control orenforcement of this,” Caputosaid. “ODNR has only 26employees for the State ofOhio, although they are addingmore. Their funding comes frompermit fees.”

Caputo said because of that,the agency has an incentive togrant permits across the state.

“I don’t have faith in a groupthat is funded through permit(fees),” Caputo said. “They haveto do the permits in order togain their revenue.”

Joyce added, “ODNR knowsif the drilling doesn’t continue,they don’t have jobs.”

Radtke said he believes thathorizontal drilling can result inenergy independence, a goalpushed by Republicans in the2012 presidential campaign.

When Joyce called for a vote,Radtke said, “You’re voting on

something you haven’t had achance to reference the resou-rces.”

“I still feel confident withwhat is printed on this paper,”Caputo said. “I guess it’s okayfor you to disagree with me. Ididn’t think it was that big of anissue, but this is my decision.”

Joyce said he was voting yes,because he would “rather err onthe side of safety.”

“I don’t know how thiswould accomplish that,” Radtkesaid.

“I don’t either,” Joyce admit-ted, as the audience erupted inderisive laughter.

Environmental ProtectionAgency representative said itwould be OK to use the asbestosreport from the previous roundof studies to determine howmuch of the building must bespecially handled because of thecarcinogenic material.

“Every piece of flooring isbad,” Kearns said, according tothe report.

The Moving Ohio Forwardgrant requires numerous pic-tures documenting destructionof the building, so Kearns saidhe would be there with his cam-era throughout the demolitionprocess.

A contractor’s report is thelast thing trustees and legalcounsel need, he added.

Kearns said he would like tomeet with each bidder separatelyto make sure they understand

what the township wants done. Judging from the previous

bids, Kearns said he doesn’texpect the cost to exceed$50,000, so advertising won’t berequired.

“This is going to go. Krisknows it, he’s just holding it up,”Kearns said, adding he is hopefulthe township would receive thegrant — eventually.

“We’re number one on theMoving Ohio Forward list,” hesaid.

Once the structure is torndown and the rubble is removed,the basement will be filled inwith clay, which must be broughtin from another location, sincethere isn’t any on the property.

“This takes it to a seeded fin-ish,” with grass growing over thesite come spring,” Trustee ToddRay said.“You won’t even know(the building) was ever there.”

Kearns added, “The prosecu-tor is 100 percent behind us.”

Russell trustees because theseptic system at the administra-tion building was failing,”Morgan told commissioners.“So we had numerous discus-sions with the trustees and theproperty owners.”

He added, “The treatmentplant was built in the 1970s andthis will bring it up to capacity.”

Property owners will beassessed for the project based ontheir road frontage and their taxbills will be charged for the next10 years to pay for tying into thesystem, explained Morgan.

Morgan told the GeaugaCounty Maple Leaf on Fridaythe project is estimated to cost$270,000, including all engineer-ing and construction work.

The estimated per foot costis $131, excluding tap-in fees,which Morgan said depend onthe use of each business prop-erty.

“So trustees are all in favorof this?” Commissioner MarySamide asked.

Morgan said they are andthat the commissioners’ greenlight is the first step in theprocess.

He said notices would besent out to the affected prop-erty owners on Dec. 27, inform-ing them about a Jan. 30 publichearing on the issue.

Commissioner Tracy Jemi-son said property owners wouldhave the option of beingassessed to tie in or to pay for itoutright.

“It will be on the tax bill orthey can pay cash,” he added.

By Jason Baxter

The West Geauga Wolver-ines have been steadfast ondefense this season, proving itagain last week in a ChagrinValley Conference matchupagainst visiting Chagrin Falls.

The Tigers committed 16turnovers and shot just 29 per-cent from the floor, as WestGeauga won the neighborhoodrivalry, 40-37.

Through four games, WestGeauga has allowed 45 pointsper game and has a 3-1 record.The team’s only loss came tostate-qualifier Lake Catholic.

The Tigers dropped to 2-2 onthe young season.

West Geauga coach JohnCardiero commended histeam’s defensive effort on a off-shooting night.

“Our defense really set thetone for us tonight,” he said.

West Geauga shot 34 per-cent from the field (16 of 47)baskets and 53 percent from thefoul line (eight of 15), includingjust two in seven tries in thefinal minute of the game.

A bright spot for WestGeauga was how they took careof the ball with only 11turnovers.

Senior Noah Bidar, the sea-son’s leading scorer through the

first four games, led the

Wolverines offensively. Heimpressed again, scoring 12points, grabbing eight reboundsand dishing out six assists in thewin.

Chagrin Falls started fastand scored the first seven pointsof the game.

The Wolverines used youth-ful resilience and went on theirown 8-0 run, led by juniorCooper Stafford. Chagrin Fallsresponded with a 7-0 run of itsown to take a 14-8 lead early inthe second quarter.

The Wolverines then wenton a 9-0 run and never lookedback, leading 22-19 at halftime.

West Geauga outscored theTigers, 10-9, in the third quarterand held its biggest lead of thegame late in period at 32-25.

But Tigers senior JackThome hit a 3-pointer to cut theWest Geauga lead to 32-28heading into the final 12 min-utes of play.

That is when things gotinteresting.

The Wolverines extendedtheir advantage to 38-33 whenAaron Rabe completed a three-point play.

The Tigers continued to clawaway at the deficit and pulled towithin one point, 38-37, with2:02 remaining in the game.

The game came down to thefinal 11 seconds when NoahBidar split a pair of free throwsand pushed the Wolverines’winning margin to 40-37.

Chagrin Falls coach DaveBargar called a timeout inhopes of designing a final playto tie the game.

West Geauga had secondthoughts about the Tigersattempting a game 3-pointerand decided to foul AdamShoemaker and put him on thefree throw line.

The Tigers senior missed thefront end of a 1-and-1, but sen-ior forward Liam Sullivangrabbed the offensive rebound.His put back missed as timeexpired.

One of the most intriguingbattles of the night was waged

in the paint between two of thetop post players in the county— Mario Formichelli of WestGeauga and Thome.

Thome led the way statisti-cally scoring 11 points and grab-bing 10 rebounds along withthree blocks, but Formichellicame away with the victorywhile chipping in eight points.

“Thome was limited inside

by Formichelli and forced out-side, which he is good at, but heis better when he gets insideand we give him the ball, andwe play inside-out basketball,”Bargar said.

“It’s funny,” he added. “Atthe start of our scrimmages, wewere shooting 60 percent fromthe 3-point line. We were crush-ing teams offensively. The lasttwo games, we haven’t shot wellat all.”

Bargar summed up thedefeat best. “When you hold ateam to 40 points of offense, it’svery frustrating no doubt.”

The Tigers also received asolid game from senior guardNick Berry, who scored 11points off the bench. Sullivanfinished the game with sixpoints.

The Wolverines continuedtheir winning ways with a winover Painesville Harvey, 72-48,on Saturday night. They are offuntil the Gilmour HolidayTournament on Dec. 28-29.

The Tigers fell to KenstonSaturday night in an overtimethriller. They will host Wickliffeon Dec. 19.
