Chester Township officialswere tight-lipped Thursdaynight about who authorized anassistant in the fiscal officer’soffice to alter townshipcomputers last week, but theysaid they are certain thesystem’s data was notcompromised in any way.
Shortly before leaving office,former Fiscal Officer KarenAustin notified the ChesterTownship Police Departmentshe had discovered thetownship computer had beentampered with and she believedits data might have beencompromised.
Police Chief Mark Purchaseseized the computers inquestion and began aninvestigation that involved the
assistance of Ohio Auditor ofState Dave Yost’s office, whichis in charge of the UniformAccounting Network systemused by local governmentsstatewide.
“There was no breach ofsecurity,” new Township FiscalOfficer Michael Stark saidThursday, in answer to aquestion from resident CathyCotman.
“An extra layer of securitywas added. Mark Purchase wasthere. He conducted aninvestigation. I’m not surewhether it’s complete or not,”Stark said.
Stark has since been able toget into the computer systemand use it to prepare paychecks,make other payments andconduct township business, hesaid.
Cotman then asked whichelected officials knew about theadded security and whoauthorized it.

Several streets in ChesterTownship have suffered fromflooding problems for about 35years and trustees need to takeaction to bring relief, residentssaid Thursday.
Three main areas affected byfrequent flooding include theDorothy/Marilyn Driveneighborhood, S. WoodsideDrive and the WinchesterValley subdivision, residentstold trustees.
“I have photos of the actualflooding if that will be helpfulto the (Geauga CountyEngineer’s Office) andsomeone in our area says shehas videos,” Marilyn Driveresident Liz Wertz told trustees.
She said she’s had a difficulttime contacting the ChesterTownship Road Departmentsupervisor to tell him about theproblem.
Trustee Judy Caputo saidthe superintendent had been onvacation and she would ask himto contact Wertz.
Resident Ven Paoletto, whosaid trustees stated at theirMarch 26 meeting “something’sin the works” about addressing
the flooding situation, asked ifthere has been any progress.
“It’s still being worked on,”Trustee Judy Caputo replied,adding that the board may bediscussing the issue soon.
“We’re not ready to talkabout it,” Caputo said.
Trustee Mike Joyce said thetownship has asked the countyto evaluate the situation andcome up with recommendationsfor the township to consider.

The sound of chain saws andfelling of roadside trees alertedHemlock Point Road residentsthe country lane windingthrough their neighborhood isdue for a makeover by GeaugaCounty this summer.
More than a dozen irateHemlock Point homeownershammered Russell TownshipTrustees Wednesday, wanting toknow what the board can do tohelp them minimize damage tothe rural atmosphere alongtheir road.
Almost two years ago,trustees voted to give 1.6-mile-long Hemlock Point to thecounty for maintenance andsnow plowing.
Trustees said the action is inthe minutes on the townshipwebsite and there were storiesin the local newspapers aboutthe exchange.
On Feb. 1, 2012, GeaugaCounty Engineer RobertPhillips came to the trusteesmeeting and said he plans towiden each lane by two feet,Trustee Jim Dickinson said.
Trustees were told HemlockPoint doesn’t meet federalspecifications for safety,Dickinson said, adding the roadneeds to be widened and theberms extended.
That requires a number oftrees to be cut down before the
project commences in June, hesaid.
Resident John DuRoss saidthe first time he realized hisroad wasn’t being tended by thetownship any more was twowinters ago when a county plowwent by.
“Some of us are feeling soldout by the trustees,” he said,adding there has been nocommunication to HemlockPoint residents about the plans.
There are 41 homes on theroad, residents said.
Trustee Jim Mueller said thetrustees gave the road to thecounty about the same time thecounty gave the township morethan seven miles of MusicStreet that had been newlyrepaved, saving the townshipabout $300,000.
Phillips told trustees thecounty was already maintainingthe southern section ofHemlock Point and felt theentire road should belong to thecounty, Mueller said.
It had evolved into a mainthoroughfare for people drivingto and from Chagrin Falls fromRoute 87, with a traffic count of1,400 vehicles a day, trusteeswere told.
“We had no idea, at the time,that they were going to widenHemlock Point,” Mueller said.“We thought it would be a gooddeal.”
Resident Barbara Brimbergchallenged Mueller’s statement.
“Are you really saying youare unaware the county has apropensity to widen mostthrough roads?” she asked.
Mueller said the county’sdecision to widen the road wasmade almost a year after it tookpossession.
More than 30 trees were cutdown along Hemlock Point byorder of the county engineerbefore April 1 because of theIndiana bat, Dickinson said.
The bat, which is a protectedspecies, nests under the bark ofdead trees or shagbark hickorytrees, so trees in which it mightnest cannot be cut down from

“Leave it to Mark Purchaseand his investigation; let it gofor right now,” Stark answered.
Trustee Mike Joyce said thepolice chief was continuing tolook for evidence of any furtherinfractions.
Purchase did not attend themeeting.
Trustee Judy Caputo saidshe was tired of being accusedof knowing about or taking partin the tampering.
“At no time did I ... haveanything to do with it, noknowledge of it,” Caputo said.
“In my opinion, (Austin’s)allegations are fraudulent.”
Cedar Road resident KurtFeigle asked whether theassistant made the changes onher own without consultinganyone.
Stark insisted that nothingimproper happened.
Trustee Ken Radtke said hehad been instructed to say theinvestigation was ongoing andhe could not say anythingfurther until it was complete.
“So that’s where it stands,”Radtke said.
Feigle asked how he couldfind out when the investigationis over.
“I’d like that some
statement be made in aregularly scheduled meetingthat everybody can attend, noton a Thursday afternoon or at 8a.m.,” he said, referring torecent special meetings heldduring the day.
Feigle’s statement drew asmattering of applause.
Trustees said they wouldshare the results of theinvestigation, once it iscomplete, in a regular publicmeeting.
boards were aware of theongoing problems for manyyears and were unable to doanything, Former Trustee RonCotman interjected, “Don’t putit on me, Mike. I’m not atrustee.”
Cotman, who lives in theWinchester Valleyneighborhood, asked trusteeswhen was the last time theydiscussed the issue.
Joyce said it was probablylast May after parts of thetownship were devastated byspring floods.
Trustee Ken Radtke said hehad talked to County EngineerRobert Phillips as well as theaffected residents.
“When it floods, it recedespretty quickly. We need to lookdownstream at the impact too,”Radtke said, adding that hewants to get engineering studiesthat will discover the source ofthe difficulties before makingany conclusions.
“Since the board’s beenworking on this for six years,but we’ve heard no proposal,give us a history of what hasbeen going on,” Cotman’s wife,Cathy, said. “Six years seems tobe a long time and we’re still atsquare one.”
Wertz added, “Since theproblem is obviously ongoingfor so long, now’s a better timethan any to dig deeper, set upsome deadlines and contact theengineer, instead of just lettingit hang out there.”
Former Trustee Pat Mulasaid she was well aware of theflooding and warned trusteesthat there will be no easy orinexpensive fix.
“It will be an enormousamount of dollars,” Mula said,adding property rights may alsocome into question.
“But if it’s in the realm oftownship finances, then fix ‘em,”Mula said.
Later, she told the GeaugaCounty Maple Leaf shebelieved any solution wouldcost millions to implement.
Joyce said he would like fortrustees to meet with the countyengineer as soon as it could bearranged.
“We need to have a meetingon it and discuss with themwhat our options are,” Joycesaid.
Caputo said she wouldcontact Phillips and arrange ameeting.

April 1 through the end ofSeptember, he explained.
If the county hadn’t takenthe trees down when they did,the project could have beendelayed until October.
“The plans are notfinalized,” he said, adding thecounty doesn’t know how manytrees have to be cut.
Dickinson said he urgedPhillips to communicate withresidents of the road so theyknow what is going to happenand why.
Brimberg said the trees thatwere taken down are just thebeginning, since the road has a40-foot right-of-way from thecenter line.
“This could vastly changethe character of theneighborhood,” she said. “Bygiving our road to the county,you’ve taken it away from us.”
Resident Mark Davis saidHemlock Point was widened bythe township about seven yearsago so fire engines could passeach other safely.
When the surveyors weremeasuring the road lastsummer, residents were told itwould probably be 2014 beforethe road would be widened.
“The county would verymuch prefer no one knows
what’s going on here until it istoo late,” Davis said. “Thecounty wishes to bulldozethrough us.”
The width of the road is notthe problem, he said.
The undulating nature of theroad means the sightline fromdriveways is short. If the road iswidened, people will drivefaster and it will be moredangerous, Davis said.
“Hemlock Point is not astrip of pavement — this is ourhome,” he added.
Mueller said it bothers him“a great deal” that Phillips hadnot brought final plans to theboard and is out cutting downtrees.
There is no requirement thatthe road be widened, he said.
However, if it is brought upto federal specifications, when itneeds to be repaved again in 15or 20 years, more than half ofthe cost could be covered by thefederal government, Muelleradded.
The road is now between 20and 22 feet wide, DuRoss said.
The proposal is to add twofeet to each lane, another twofeet of berm outside the whiteline, then ditches will be cut.
While it might save thetownship money if the countypaves the road, the values ofhomes along Hemlock Pointwill drop by tens of thousandsof dollars, DuRoss said.
“The entire street will haveto be clear cut,” Davis said.“We’re sitting here threemonths out from this project.”
Taking the matter to thecounty commissioners may bethe only solution, he said.
“I think you guys should beoutraged,” Brimberg said. “Youwere elected to keep ourtownship rural.”
Dickinson said residents are“jumping to conclusions.”
“Lack of communication isthe problem here,” he said,adding he will write a letter toPhillips urging him to considerthe wishes of the residents andto communicate with residentsand trustees at every stage ofthe project.
Davis asked if there is asense of urgency tocommunicate.
“People in this room arefrustrated and skeptical,” hesaid.
DuRoss said he understandsthere have been instances whenthe county gave roads back to atownship.
“That would be mostlogical,” he said, adding peoplemight feel more positive if thetrustees would fight to get itback.
Dickinson said he would askPhillips if that is possible.
Trustees agreed to invitePhillips to the April 18 trusteesmeeting.

Both girls and boys trackteams will be young this season,said Mike Taurasi and JohnBoylan, the school’s trackcoaches, in their 10th seasons.
Boylan blamed competingspring sports; Taurasi said tracknumbers are cyclical.
Yet behind ChantelRichardson’s three first-placefinishes last weekend, in the 100and 300 meter hurdles and longjump, the girls finished second tohost Chardon in the 9th annualHilltopper Invitational.
Richardson, along withLindsay Visner, Kristina Zerbe,Hailee Brown, Rachael Brinning,Jessi Genske and others, shouldput on a good show throughoutthis season.
Richardson is the defendingDiv. I state champion in the 100
meter hurdles.“It’s a lot of waiting around,”
said Visner after clearing the 4-foot-8-inch bar during the morn-
ing’s high jumpevent. “It’s defin-itely challengingbecause the timingof things canthrow you off. Ifyou’re waiting andstaring at the bar,you could psycheyourself out ea-sily.”
Last season thesenior jumped apersonal best 5feet 3 inches, butcould not advanceout of a toughregional compe-tition. She alreadyhas jumped 5-3this season, andhopes to improve.
Visner finishedin second placewith a jump of 5-2at the meet.
The boys arestruggling withdepth, said coachBoylan. But team
distance will be a strength.Jay Sargent, a senior thrower
in discus and shot put, along withSkylor and Paedyn Gomes, couldhave solid seasons. Sargentfinished 11th in the discus;Paedyn, 5th in the 110 meterhurdles.
And then there’s senior MarkBarber, competing for the firsttime in the 200 meter dash and4X400 meter relay.
“Boylan, you’re throwing meunder the bus,” Barber said whenBoylan asked him to give aninterview.
“It’s just another season tome,” Barber said, adding thatrunning was the best decision hehas ever made. “I just show up,get it done, go home.”
Barber, oddly, enjoys practicemore than the competition atmeets.
“Most people hate training,but I enjoy showing up andgetting it done.”
Barber has run track since7th grade and joined the crosscountry team his sophomoreyear. After graduation he plansto attend Ohio State, and thinkshis love of running will providehim a healthy habit for life.
