Students Take 2nd Place in NASA Competition By Jennifer Turkoc editor@geaugamapleleaf.com
A future theoretical physicist, 12th-grader Rosie Fahey, and a future biochemist, 12th-grader Eileen Faulk, are making good use of their education. They participated in a nationwide NASA competition and presented their experiment to the West Geauga Schools Board of Education at their Jan. 22 meeting. Their goal was to create a shape using a 3D printer out of a material that does not like water. The three objects, with one differing in mass from the others, were sealed in a vessel that was partially filled with water. The vessel was then dropped in the NASA Glenn Research Center’s 2.2-second microgravity Drop Tower, which mimics an absence of gravity. See NASA • Page 11

Chester Resident Presses Trustees on FD Raise, Levy By Jennifer McKevitt editor@geaugamapleleaf.com
Angry resident commentary continued at the Chester Township Trustees meeting Jan. 31 as Karen Austin held the floor. Austin, a former township fiscal officer, is troubled by an upcoming 2.75-mill additional levy for the Chester Township Fire Department. If passed, the levy would cost homeowners $96.25 annually per $100,000 property valuation and yield $1,019,000, according to the Geauga County Auditor’s Office. “Is our fire chief a paramedic? If
not, why is he supervising paramedics if he doesn’t have the training?” Austin asked. Council member Bob Rogish confirmed Fire Chief John Wargelin is an EMT. Austin went on to express dismay at the 30-percent raises previously given in order to keep and attract new members to the fire team. “Was there advice from the fiscal officer that this was a financially sound thing to do?” Austin said. Rogish repeated the previous meeting’s explanation about high See Trustees • Page 4

staff turnover due to lower than average pay and maintaining a level of service was vital for the community. “We were losing four to five fire staff members per year,” Rogish explained. “We were training them and then losing them to better paying jobs.” Council member Joe Mazzurco also addressed Austin’s concerns. “We couldn’t maintain the necessary five-person shift due to staff shortages. We were having to call for support to Russell or another nearby department with more staff available.” He also cited a University Hospitals study that noted the first hour after a heart attack is a crucial time for treatment the community needs to meet. “We’re an insurance policy for our residents,” he explained. “Before we leveled up our pay, the chief had to fill in when staff was short, and they were short a lot. He came in on days off and when he was on vacation. We weren’t able to maintain a standard level of service.” Austin remained displeased. “I’m not hearing that the fiscal officer advised this,” she said. Mazzurco said it was “very tough” for trustees to agree to a 30-percent raise. “If people want to work after a shift elsewhere, then that’s their choice to come in,” Austin argued. Council member Ken Radtke suggested a change of direction.
“I encourage you to meet with the fire chief personally,” he said. “If we don’t have the staff to treat our residents appropriately, then that’s a problem.” Austin continued her argument. “I believe Chief Wargelin should have the same qualifications as those he supervises,” she said. “I feel the fiscal responsibility of this new levy is suspect. You need to show us why you need it. I don’t approve of May levies. You have too many snowbirds who don’t vote.” At this point, resident Frank Kolk raised a hand to comment and was given the floor. “I have the utmost confidence in the chief, “Kolk said. “If he were to come to my house and perform CPR, I would trust him entirely.” Austin did not acknowledge Kolk’s vote of confidence in the chief. “And why are we paying for staff lunches at the township office?” she continued. “I’d like to know when the board decided to pay people for the exact hours they’re in the building. Further, why does the office close at 4 p.m.? People with jobs can’t get there before closing.” Radtke explained the staff works through their lunch hours. “If they’re eating at their desks, then we’re paying them for lunch,” Austin insisted. “Residents who need to reach us can hopefully call on their breaks,” Radtke said. “Oh, a break — that’s nice. So you’re assuming other people get breaks?” Radtke again encouraged Austin to meet with the fire chief. “This is becoming unproductive,” he added. Austin retook her seat.

Chester Police Seeks SWAT Membership By Jennifer McKevitt editor@geaugamapleleaf.com
Chester Township Police Chief Mark Purchase made his case for aligning his department with the Lake County Special Weapons and Tactics team, or SWAT, at the Jan. 31 Chester Township Trustees meeting. Though membership is without fee, there is a one-time charge for the appointed member officer’s equipment, such as the ballistic vest and helmet, the uniform, and the radio and night vision apparatus. Purchase believes the move to join the local SWAT team in a sound one. “If we appoint our own member to this group, we’ll be able to learn from the training he receives,” Purchase said. “Collectively, the local SWAT group is called upon roughly 4.3 times per year. We ourselves called for their services in 2018 when there was a standoff last March.” The minimal investment seems to be well worth it, Purchase believes. “There are quite a few benefits to the community to having us involved in providing SWAT services,” he said. “In addition to having our own skills improved, we can help oth-
er communities as well. I’m all about that.” The local SWAT member would receive approximately 13 hours per month training, or 153.6 hours per year. The training is provided by certified SWAT instructors. No increase in insurance would be required, Purchase confirmed, in response to a question from Radtke. To attest to the value of the service, Geauga County Sheriff Scott Hildenbrand and Lt. Jeff Sherwood from the Lake County Sheriff’s Office joined Purchase at the meeting. Sherwood is the SWAT team commander for Lake County. Sherwood gave a short explanation of current SWAT methods. “Our practices have changed since the 1990s when I joined. Back then, when crack cocaine was an issue, the standard method was to kick in doors at 3 or 4 o’clock in the morning,” he said. “Over time, however, we found that that method swept in too many people, many of whom were innocent. “Now we focus on resolving things as safely as possible. We have drones and robots. Most often, we can diffuse a situation that involves mental health or domestic violence issues, when someone barricades against ac-
Obituaries Tara Lynn Kuchenbecker
It is with heavy hearts that announce the passing of Tara Lynn (Orzechowski) Kuchenbecker, beloved wife, daughter, sister, aunt and friend. Tara passed away on Jan. 23, 2019, in Cleveland. The daughter of Anthony R. and Charlene Orzechowski, Tara was born on Aug. 27, 1968, in Xenia, Ohio. She was a 1986 graduate of Willoughby South High School and earned her bachelor’s degree in social work at Bowling Green State University in 1990. Tara began her career in social work with what is now Lake County Jobs and Family Services. She then dedicated her career to assisting the elderly and was employed by several nursing homes around and near Lake County. Her passion for caring for others evolved through volunteer work at The Hope Chest in Painesville, WomenSafe Resale Shoppe in Chester Township and the Geauga Humane Society Rescue Village in Russell Township, where she was most recently employed. In her spare time, Tara enjoyed soaking up the sun, dog walking and pet sitting for friends. Tara’s last act of compassion was to donate her corneas and tissue to help improve the lives of others. Tara is survived by her loving husband of 23 years, Kenneth P. Kuchenbecker; dear parents, Anthony R. and Charlene Orzechowski; sister, Raquel Griesmar; nephew, William Griesmer; niece, Natalie Griesmer; and extended family members.

Alice JoAnn Arnold
STOW – Alice JoAnn (nee Kloepping) Arnold, age 83, of Stow Glen Retirement Center, Stow, went to be with the Lord on Nov. 19, 2018, following a stroke. She was born in Lena, Ill., graduated from Stockton High School in 1953 and from the Finley Hospital School of Nursing in Dubuque, Iowa, as an R.N. in 1956. She had a passion for community theater — acting, singing and directing in many area productions. She also created a one-woman show on the life of Marie Antoinette, which she performed at area high schools and libraries. Alice mastered more than a dozen needlework styles and enjoyed both teaching and creating. She will be remembered as a loving mother and grandmother, and for her love of books and music, sense of humor and creativity. Alice is survived by her children, Daniel (Cara) Arnold, of Leesburg, Fla., Jennifer (Mike) Askins, of Mentor, Brenda (Christian) Gruenler, of Munich, Germany, Catherine (Willis) Clark, of Lorton, Va., and Rylan (Kerry) Arnold, of Aurora; sister, Norma Shipton, of Rockton, Ill.; brother Richard (Doris) Kloepping, of Knoxville, Tenn.; and 13 grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her former spouse, Roger T. Arnold; parents, Martin C. and Irma B. (nee Hatton) Kloepping; and brother David C. Kloepping. Private family services were held.
cess despite a violent situation.” Council member Ken Radtke again voiced his concern about risk. “Have there been any worker’s compensation claims?” he asked. “None that I recall or ever heard about,” Sherwood answered. Hildenbrand added his own words of support. “Having someone local on the SWAT
team is certainly a benefit,” he said. “The more officers involved, the better. An on-staff officer will also help the department recognize whether a situation warrants calling in the SWAT team. It’s a relationship and community-builder as well.” Hildenbrand also mentioned a SWAT vehicle is at the ready in Geauga County. “If we didn’t believe in it, we wouldn’t advise it,” he concluded.

Chester Government Update The Chester Township Board of Trustees met on Jan. 17 at 6 p.m. The meeting began with a presentation by Anthony Nastasi, chair of the Chester Planning Committee (CPC), updating the trustees on the ongoing work of the committee. The CPC was seeking trustee approval to advertise a request for proposal (RFP) to solicit bids from professional planners. The board approved advertising the RFP and a copy of can be viewed at the Chester Township website (www.chestertwp.org). The CPC has public meetings every second and fourth Tuesday of the month at 6:30 p.m. at the Chesterland Innovation Center, 12628 Chillicothe Road. The public is welcome and encouraged to attend the meetings. The next presentation was for the fire levy. Chief John Wargelin answered many questions explaining staffing, the increase in call volume, staffing shortages, competition for personnel in the firefighter/paramedic field, the increased medical responsibilities the positions require, Chester’s pay disparity with other communities and the benefits of two full-time employees per shift. The fire department currently has no full-time personnel other than the fire chief. Chief Wargelin stated a levy committee has been formed and there will be future public meetings to explain the need for the levy. For more information, he can be reached at 440-729-9951 or by email at firechief@chestertwp.org. The board approved $38,000 for VanCuren Services for tree work on Sperry Road between Wilson Mills and Sherman roads. This road will be part of a resurfacing project in 2020 using matching funds from the Ohio Public Works Commission (OPWC).
The board approved after the fact funds of $1,800 to Cerni to repair the turbo plow truck #7, $1,100 for parts to repair the steering box in plow truck #2 and $1,894 payable to Little Mountain for pump and spline socket repair parts. Under fire department business, the board approved a purchase using EMS grant monies for fitness equipment from Rogue Fitness not to exceed $5,700. Monies in amount of $1,476.50 were approved payable to Warren Fire Equipment for maintenance on the department’s self-contained breathing apparatus. A leave of absence was approved for firefighter Patrick Knowlton from Jan 8 to March 8, 2019, and the hiring of firefighter/ EMT Daniel Santry at $17.64 per hour was approved. The board approved after the fact the voluntary resignation of part-time police officer Jonathon Thompson effective April 2, 2018. The board moved to amend a motion regarding 2018 meeting attendance payments for the Board of Zoning Appeals, and amended a payment to the Ohio Bureau of Workers Compensation in the amount of $57,795. The 2018 vacations and holiday payouts for administrative employees were approved per the township policy manual, and up to $1,000 was approved for trustee attendance at the OTA Winter Conference held Jan. 30 to Feb. 2.

Please follow the signs at the Chester Recycle Park. Submitted by Joseph C. Mazzurco, Chester Township Trustee
On Jan. 3, the Chester Township Board of Trustees had the first meeting of 2019. Compensation rates as established by the Ohio Revised Code for elected officials were approved along with payment for Chester Zoning Commission and Chester Board of Zoning Appeals meeting attendance. An advance on real estate taxes was also requested from the Geauga County Auditor’s Office. Regular business at the start of the year included establishing regular meeting schedules at 6 p.m. every other Thursday beginning Jan. 3. Spending authorization was set at $1,000 for each trustee, fiscal officer and each department head. At the beginning of each year, it is necessary to establish purchase orders and certify money in accounts so approved expenses can be legally paid until the 2019 final budget is approved. Monies were established in multiple accounts including general fund, police, fire/EMS and road. The assessment and discussion of a need
for additional revenue to support the fire department and EMS services continued. The board approved a certificate of need be submitted to the auditor in the amount of 2.75 mills. This would be the first new levy money for fire/EMS in 17 years. This levy would generate $0.275 per $100 of valuation and would support the fire department for about nine years. The next step in this process, once the certificate is received from the auditor, is to pass a resolution to place it onto the ballot for May 2019. Fire Chief John Wargelin will conduct public outreach to explain the need for the levy. Chief Wargelin can be reached at firechief@chestertwp.org or office at 440729-9951. As a reminder, anyone who wishes to be notified of regular meetings, special and emergency meetings, including agendas, should contact town hall at 440-729-7058 or via email to mlflorentine@chestertwp.org Submitted by Ken Radtke Jr., Chester Township Trustee

Logo Chosen for Fundraiser
Steven Hensley, an 11th-grade graphic design student at West Geauga High School, had his logo chosen to represent this year’s Night at the Races fundraiser. Steven’s graphic design teacher Lori Nells said, “[The] graphic design course was designed to enhance our already strong arts program and to help advance the students in terms of arts and technology. Students are involved in projects that give them a taste of a variety of different design challenges.” During the last two years, students in the graphic design program have created images for school and community related events and materials.

The vintage barn that sits on the green of Chesterland Historical Village has undergone emergency repairs with the help of Frost Architectural Preservation Inc. The crew spent several days doing temporary and extensive shoring of the Stone Family Barn that was gifted to the village several years ago. Among other problems, the center king beam is lacking the connecting braces. The goal is to save the barn, part of Chester Township’s history, and to move forward this summer. The Society welcomes members and interested community residents to stop in at the village located on the corner of Caves and Mayfield roads in Chester Township. For now, Greg Frost and his crew have the barn safe with assurance that it will survive winter snows and ice. For information, call Judith at 440-7297768 or visit chesterlandhistoricalvillage.org.
From Regular Stretching By Dr. Adam M. Cramer, PT, DPT One of the simplest, most effective things you can do to keep your body in good working order and stay mobile as the years pass is to stretch regularly. Making time at least twice a week to stretch each major muscle groups is how to maintain mobility and prevent injury. Stretching is actually the key to reduce pain and soreness in a muscle or joint. Stretching so beneficial because of all the good things it Cramer does for your body. For example: • It increases blood flow and oxygenation of muscles and joints. • It improves the range of motion of your joints. • It helps you move about more freely and easily, regardless of what age you are. • It protects you from injury by enhancing muscle contraction. The American College of Sports Medicine indicates to spend at least 60 seconds on each stretching exercise. It is a gentle and slow exercise. You may be uncomfortable initially when you start stretching but it gets easier the more you do it regularly.
Additional benefits extend into lifestyle
Stretching is a natural stress reliever as well and encourages you to think more positively. When you are stressed, think about

440-729-6300
how your muscles contract, adding to your tenseness. When you stretch, you release this pent-up stress in your body and in turn, your mind feels less burdened.
Specific health benefits researched
The health benefits have been well chronicled for some time, but there are other good effects that we have only gotten to know more about in the last few years as more research has accumulated on the impact of stretching on the body. A 2007 study1 published in the Archives of Internal Medicine revealed that women with fibromyalgia may experience significantly improved daily function and fewer symptoms after taking part in a stretching program. I see a number of clients suffering from this condition which causes them to experience debilitating chronic pain throughout their bodies. They are placed on a specific evidence-based program where they learn to manage their symptoms naturally.
Good strategies to get started
Schedule an appointment to consult with a Doctor of physical therapy and ask for an assessment and then a prescribed program of stretches. This will ensure that what you start with is safe and designed specifically for your body. Doing it right, and gearing your specific stretches to accommodate the specific needs of your body and level of mobility is important. Dr. Adam M. Cramer, PT, DPT, is a licensed physical therapist, stretching specialist and owner of MyoFit Clinic in Chardon and Middlefield, Ohio. 440.286.1007 or 440.632.1007.

NASA
from page 1 The students measured how high the objects were expelled from the water. They took second place in the competition and were invited to a meeting in Washington, D.C., to present their findings to businesses and universities. The students surmised, even though NASA did not make it clear, the results would be used for something to do with space travel. In other discussion, Rudy Breglia, of the School Bus Safety Alliance, gave a presentation on the importance of safety belts for students on school buses. According to Breglia, five to six children are killed and 11,000 to 27,000 are injured each year in school bus sudden stops and crashes. Breglia reported in November of 2016, a Chatanooga school bus without seat belts rolled over. Six children were killed and more than 20 were injured, but the driver, who was belted, was not injured, Breglia said. “Based on a 1970s theory, federal agencies have mandated high padded seat backs as a primary safety measure for school buses rather than choosing seat belts based on a flawed and incomplete theory of protection (‘compartmentalization’),” Breglia said in a Jan. 23 email. “A recent North Carolina study
Chesterland News
found that, over a 10-year period, one third of all the school bus crashes were rollovers or side crashes where children have absolutely no protection without seat belts.” On Dec.17, 2018, the Beachwood City Council approved an ordinance that would provide funding for the placement of seat belts in all new buses, Breglia said. Avon Lake Schools is also conducting a trial of safety belts in at least one replacement school bus, Breglia added. He referred board members to the website schoolbusseatbeltsafety.com for more information. Next on the agenda was a presentation concerning three West Geauga Education Foundation grants totaling $15,000. Science teacher Mike Sustin was the first to discuss his grant, an aquaponics project to take place in the science wing. “Aquaponics is a combination of aquaculture, raising aquatic animals (fish in our system), and hydroponics, growing plants in water without traditional soil, in a symbiotic environment,” explained Sustin in an email Jan. 26. Aquaponics systems can be housed in a fish tank as small as two gallons or can be large commercial operations, he said. “When in full operation, our system at West G will be able to produce a dozen pounds of fish and several harvests of lettuce, herbs, tomatoes and peppers each school
year,” he said. Aquaponics can be utilized as a real solution to food crises around the world, Sustin said. The West G system uses a 200-gallon fish tank as a home for 20 to 30 pounds of fish, he explained, adding the fish produce waste that feeds the plants. “The entire system is colonized by two species of bacteria,” he said. “One transforms the ammonia in the fish waste to nitrite ions and the other changes the nitrite to nitrate, which can then be taken up by the plants.” The solid fish waste can be easily removed and will be applied to flower beds around the district, Sustin said, adding the project is brand new this year. “We are just getting up and running in February,” he said. In addition to the grant from the West Geauga Education Foundation, a monetary donation to fund the project came from West Geauga residents Natalie and Paul Cooper. Natalie is a retired physics teacher. Superintendent Richard Markwardt, representing Angela Wyatt, a fourth-grade science and social studies teacher, spoke about the next grant, which will be used to create a learning lab with different types of learning environments. Markwardt pointed out some children learn best while sitting in a rocking chair or on a large ball, or even standing up. The
Page 11
learning lab will utilize these different seating styles. The final grant was used for purchasing a Google Expeditions kit, which uses Virtual Expeditions — a free program that provides virtual trips to places like the Pyramids and the Great Wall of China, explained district Director of Technology and Transportation Sean Whalen. “It is like a smartphone, put into a headset,” Whalen said, likening it to the old Viewmaster viewer. Finally, West Geauga High School Principal Jay Bishop discussed Ohio House Bill 491, which eases graduation requirements for the 2019 and 2020 school year. The bill continues alternative pathways to graduation for 2019 that were passed in 2018. The changes also will be in effect for the 2020 school year with some alterations, such as a cumulative 2.5 GPA for the last two years of high school, a capstone project, or 120 hours of work in a community service or business position. These changes are designed to reduce the emphasis on standardized testing until more permanent change can be achieved. The board then went into executive session, returning at 9:07 p.m., to announce that Markwardt’s contract had been extended. The school board wrapped up its meeting going into executive session before announcing Markwardt’s contract had been extended.

St. Anselm eighth-graders prepare to perform a bilateral nephrectomy on a donor in STEM class.
Students Perform Kidney Transplant
Eighth-grade STEM students simulated kidney transplant surgery following a bilateral nephrectomy. First, they created life-size models of the donor, Justin Thyme, and recipients, Jane and John Doe, complete with paper kidneys, plastic veins and arteries. Surgical procedures were obtained from UCLA videos. Students Marissa and Chris said the project inspired them to learn more about health, medicine and surgery. Louka agreed, saying, “The bilateral nephrectomy project gave me a new interest in subjects like human anatomy.”
Teacher Penny Thomas explains that while all STEM projects emphasize team learning in the fields of science, technology, engineering and math, she hoped the students also acquired a lesson in compassion, gratitude and acceptance. “I was shocked to learn that there are thousands of people on waiting lists for organ transplants,” said Caitlyn. “And all kidneys are pink no matter who you are,” added Ava. Next, this group will venture into the world of biomedical engineering by creating a rudimentary, but functioning, prosthetic hand.
