Market property to be counseling center BY MARIAN MCMAHON Gazette Newspapers PERRY TOWNSHIP – Trustees cleared up rumors about the use of the former Burnett’s Market at 4194 South Ridge Rd. at the April 22 trustees meeting. “There were rumors in the community that—as it came to me was—there was a heroin house that would be somewhere on 84 and that the location was Burnett’s store,” said Trustee Bob Dawson. However, the property was purchased by a couple who have been running a sober house on Route 84 for more than 10 years. They are counseling/treatment professionals. Their plan is to use Burnett’s for a counseling center. However, the rumors were that it would be a facility where methadone would be distributed to heroin addicts and that is not true. “Methadone is very severely restricted; hospitals aren’t interested in doing methadone treatments,” said Chief Deputy Frank Leonbruno of the Sheriff’s Office. He said the only active methadone clinic is at the Free Clinic in Cleveland. “Actually there’s a movement away from methadone today because it creates a separate addic-
tion to the methadone itself,” Leonbruno said. It is actually a problem for LCSO because if it has a prisoner in the program, he or she must be transported to Cleveland to get his dosage. In other business: • Captain Carl Dondorfer reported on some of the March activities of the Sheriff’s Road Patrol in the Township. There were 365 calls of which one was for an injury accident and 12 were for property damage accidents. A male was arrested for OVI on North Ridge Rd. New investigations included one for drugs and one for a sex offense on Blair Road; six thefts with two on North Ridge, one on Hale, one on Center and one on South Ridge; there was a threat on Maple Street and trespassing on North Ridge. “We just applied for the High Visibility Overtime Grant which is what we were awarded this year in ’14,” Dondorfer said. “The grant is going to be divided up by NITSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) and the Ohio Traffic Safety Office. It looks like we should get around $50,000 to
MENTOR - United Way of Lake County (UWLC) celebrated its $3.61 million 2013 campaign, Get Connected April 24. It also honored Dr. Kay Malec of Lakeland Community College, a volunteer and board member Greg Lieb, retired from Lubrizol Corporation. Attended by more than 300 volunteers, donors and friends, the 2013 Annual Meeting and Awards Breakfast, held at LaMalfa in Mentor, also featured the keynote address by Joe Jurevicius, Lake County native, Super Bowl champion and former Cleveland Brown. A special challenge to the 2013 campaign was a $220,000 deficit at the beginning and the loss of a major donor corporation that moved out of the county, said campaign chair, Paul Vanek, M.D., of Vanek Plastic Surgery. He was assisted by co-chair Lori Stevic-Rust, Ph.D., of Stevic-Rust White & Associates, as well as 40 other campaign cabinet members. Heading toward a 2013 goal of $3.67 million, the campaign leadership generated $3,612,458 and more than $160,000 in new dollars, according to Nick Carrabine, director of marketing and communications for UWLC. New dollars are those raised from businesses, organizations and individual donors who have not donated prior to this year. Carrabine said proceeds will be added from a four-hour special music festival on April 27 and organized by board member Ray Somich, of WINT/Spirit Media. Highlights of the 2013 campaign

BY MARIAN MCMAHON Gazette Newspapers LAKE COUNTY - Lake County Commissioners Bob Aufuldish, Dan Troy and Judy Moran meet at 10 a.m. most Thursdays, with some meetings at 2 p.m. on Tuesdays, in the Commissioners' Chambers on the fourth floor of the Lake County Administration Building, 105 Main St., Painesville. All meetings are open to the public. Requests to address the government board may be made at any board meeting or presented to the Commissioners' Office by calling Amy Elszasz at (440) 350-2753. There was a meeting May 8. The next regular meeting is scheduled for Thursday, May 15 at 10 a.m. At the May 1 meeting, the following resolutions were adopted: ENGINEER’S DEPARTMENT • Authorizing the release of $285,947 of the construc-
tion and maintenance surety for Mountainside Farms Phase 4 and authorizing retaining $28,594.70 of the construction and maintenance surety accepted by resolution Aug. 8, 2013 as maintenance surety for Mountainside Farms Phase 4. UTILITIES DEPARTMENT • Certifying unpaid sewer and water sums to the Lake County Auditor. COMMISSIONERS' OFFICE • Amending the policy governing participation in the Lake County Life and Health Insurance Program offered by the Lake County Board of Commissioners to Lake County Political Subdivisions. FINANCE DEPARTMENT • Increasing appropriations for various non-general fund accounts. • Transferring cash and appropriations within various general and non-general fund accounts.
SPECIAL RESOLUTIONS • Declaring May 2014 Public Assistance Fraud Awareness Month. “We’re often the ultimate safety net for persons, in terms of helping them meet their basic needs, through our public assistance programs,” said Matt Battiato, director of Lake County Job and Family Services. “The vast majority of people who apply for our programs are honest and give us legitimate information. However, sometimes there are people who are trying to gain access to public assistance that they are not really entitled to.” Robert Dawson, income maintenance administrator, said LCJFS works hard to limit the fraudulent applications or to pursue reimbursement when necessary. “Without mincing any words, public assistance fraud is disgusting. It’s not fair, it’s not right and it’s a major issue for the taxpayers,” Dawson said.
He noted people can report such fraud at a new website, http://jfs.ohio.gov/ fraud. (See press release, “May is Public Assistance Fraud Awareness Month.”) DEPARTMENTAL REPORT UTILITIES • Matt Armand, public services coordinator, said the National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day held April 26 brought in 14.2 tons of unused prescription drugs in Ohio. He noted the county has locations where people can drop off unwanted prescription and over-the-counter drugs year-round. Those locations are: Lake County Sheriff’s Office and the police departments in Eastlake, Mentor, Willoughby, Willoughby Hills, Madison township and Lakeland Community College. The computer collection went well and had 603 vehicles come through—the greatest response ever for that collection. Armand noted the special collections were important because they kept materials out of the landfills. The next collection is for scrap tires on Saturday, May 10 from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Lake County Fairgrounds. The first six tires, with no rims, would be accepted free from county residents. There is a nominal fee for additional tires, those with rims and oversize tires. Armand noted old tires could hold water and become breeding grounds for mosquitoes which could help spread West Nile virus, so it was important to get rid of them. He reported Lake County Department of Utilities now has a Twitter account named @LCDU_Ohio which residents can access for information. EXECUTIVE SESSION The commissioners adjourned to executive session to discuss personnel compensation.
“We’ll collect the rent and every six months we make a payment to the bond holders (North Perry), and at the end of the five years, if nobody decides they want to refinance and go another five years, then the village, as the bond holder, gets the building, but South Shore Controls has an option to purchase the building at the end of the five years with the notice period,” Mark Rantala, executive director of LCOPEDA, said at a special meeting April 28.

the main roads. Gilson also suggested ensuring the village’s comprehensive plan will mesh with the neighboring communities. He said they should also decide if they want industry in the village and how they want economic development to proceed. • Kathleen Smith, who serves on the Rec Board, reported there were 350 participants in the spring program compared to 270 last year. “Softball is becoming a member of the North Coast Fastpitch League,” Smith said, explaining the reason. “There was a concern by the parents because the games were far away.” The community organizations participating are: Chardon Softball League, Concord Girls Softball, Kirtland Girls Softball, Perry Rec Softball and West Geauga Rec Softball. This year’s season is expanded, running from June 9 through July 18, Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Parents who work will be able to drop off children at 8 a.m. There will also be arrangements for rec participants signed up for the Summer STRETCH (summer school) program to be walked over following the rec program. Smith said she commended the director for working so well with the schools and listening to the parents. The cost to resurface the tennis courts for pickle ball will be $19,000. The Rec Board voted to provide 25 percent of Senior Capital Projects budget, up to $5,000, toward the resurfacing. • Zoning inspector Dwayne Bailey said the ice on the lake this past winter caused a piling to break loose. It will be fixed by the contractor at no cost. He asked council to authorize up to $15,000 for CT Consultants to begin the road work plan for this year. • Councilmember Larry Reichard said he would like a review and update of village procedures for purchasing goods and services. • Council passed a resolution on third reading authorizing a $105,196.57 contract with Snavely Excavating Company for Lockwood and Antioch Roads Drainage Improvement. • Council passed a resolution on third reading to expend up to $10,000 for new playground equipment. • Council tabled a resolution to purchase a natural gas generator for Village Hall for $10,000. • First reading was held on a resolution for the 2015 Tax Budget. • The mayor asked council to approve about $8,000 to purchase a new server for the Village. He said the system was old and was operating very slowly when it was working. Council decided it would like to get at least one more quote for equipment. • Council adjourned to executive session to discuss possible litigation.
In other business: • “Waste Management— we recycled 14 million tons of material in 2013,” said Vince Crawford, public sector manager of Waste Management. “We are North America’s largest recycler.” He reviewed how recycling has changed. He noted material recovery facilities were constructed to process 80 percent fiber and 20 percent containers, but the percentage is now 65 percent fiber and 35 percent containers, which has increased the volume with less weight which increased the costs for processing. The 50 percent reduction in the number of people who read newspapers over the past 10 years has led to a reduction in the tonnage of newspapers being recycled and to the consolidation or closing of recycled newsprint mills. The new low-cost processing technology in China has led to more mixed waste paper being shipped overseas. Two-thirds of recovered plastic is sold here with the remainder being sold mainly to China. Crawford noted there is less sorting done by hand and more by machines. He pointed out it was important to follow the rules for recycling because contamination causes problems with the machines that sort and increases costs to the company, which leads to increased costs for customers. Crawford noted many of the new flexible containers are not recyclable.

Community New senior center agreement closer to passage
GAZETTE NEWSPAPERS ï FRIDAY, MAY 9, 2014 ï 3
BY MARIAN MCMAHON Gazette Newspapers MADISON VILLAGE – Madison village and township moved a step closer to changing some operations of the Madison Senior Center as first reading was held on three related ordinances at the May 5 council meeting. The first ordinance was to repeal all prior enactments related to the operation of the Madison Senior Center; the second to approve an agreement with the township for the joint operation of the center; and the third was to revise the job description and wage range of the senior center director. (Jessica Edwards had resigned in early April as senior center director and a replacement has not yet been hired.) “This director will be a village employee that will be subject to the same supervisory approval … ” Law Director Joseph Szeman said. He noted any expenditures of $2,000 or more will require legislative approval.
“There are certain powers you can’t delegate away; for example, you’re talking about public funds … and ultimately how they are spent is a legislative issue,” Szeman said. He also did not believe the Senior Center Board could legally have the final say over whether a senior center director was fired or not since the director is an employee of the village. Szeman said the new agreement between the village and township deals with such issues and clears them up. The Senior Board will have access to fiscal records and can review the budget and make recommendations, but ultimately the final responsibility for the public funds needs to be with the fiscal officer who is duly appointed by council. “(The agreement) reflects lots of compromises on both sides and lots of good ideas on both sides,” Szeman said.
Dwayne Bailey as the new village administrator. “I’d like to thank the mayor and council for this opportunity … ” Bailey said. Madison Township Trustee Max Anderson congratulated Bailey and stated the village and township now had administrators who could work together to move the Madison area forward. • Mayor Sam Britton said there was a waterline break on Sherwood while he was out of town so Councilman John Hamercheck responded to the scene. Hamercheck said they have been talking about how inspections have not been adequate at newer developments and the break was a good example. “When we began the excavation and the concrete slab in the driveway was lifted, we found tree roots, tree stumps—and this is all plural—we found construction debris, limbs and other construction trash in the hole that had also exIn other business: tended out into the roadway,” • Szeman swore in Hamercheck said.
UNITED WAY events. Vanek said he was proud to have helped with another campaign, and then introduced the 2014 campaign chair, Michael Victor, J.D., LLD, president of Lake Erie College. Victor said, “This year, I ask you to Stay Connected,” which is the 2014 campaign theme. Following the welcome by Board Chair Richard D. Cicero, keynote speaker Jurevicius spoke to the audience of his loyalty to the area to which he returned as a businessman following his football career. He addressed issues of education, nurturing students and employees and health and acknowledged the support he received in his career. “The big thing with United Way is to educate,” he said. “Never be afraid to take the extra second to put your arm around a kid. It will be a better place. And, I would urge you to continue what you are doing to help them to find a job.” He added that health, a United Way goal, is also important. “My career ended with health issues,” he said. Improvement in the community health arena starts with us, he added. In other action, Malec received the fourth annual Matt Logies Ambassador Award. Malec is a community volunteer, former nursing instructor and member of the Board of Trustees at Lakeland Community College.
He showed a section of the waterline and how corroded it was because it was surrounded by mud and tree parts rather than crushed limestone as required. A Village crew repaired the break and backfilled the area properly. Hamercheck said the Village can expect more similar waterline failures. “Quite frankly I’m sick and tired of hearing how we micromanage,” Hamercheck said. “When we start seeing multi-million dollar failures of our infrastructure … The road bed, as the equipment was driving by was deflecting no less than one inch; that means it’s sitting on mud, not on a properly compacted road bed.” • A Hyder Road resident who said the condition of the road was bad was told the Village is working on how to accomplish road repairs. • Three ordinances remained tabled: accepting the bid of Trax Construction for waterline installation for the State Route 528 Southerly
Water Line Construction Project; authorizing the sale of two copiers no longer needed; and amending the codified ordinances related to the location of sexually oriented businesses. • First reading was held on the following ordinances: accepting the bids of Waste Management of Ohio Inc. for curbside refuse and recycling collection and village cleanup day; authorizing the mayor to enter into contracts with Rush Truck Centers of Ohio, Inc. for the purchase of a 2015 International truck and with American Financial Network, Inc. for financing of same; and providing for additional appropriations and adjustments to various line items. • Council suspended readings and passed a resolution appointing the village administrator as the designee of council for purposes of the public records law. • Council suspended readings and passed a resolution establishing a Storm Water Management Fund.
• Council passed a resolution of appreciation to Arlene O’Brien of O’Brien’s Printing, and Chad Ely and Joe Acerra of Ely Multimedia Group for their time, talent and resources for the creation of the “Madison Village Opening Doors to a Richer Future” economic development promotional package. Councilmember Duane Frager said a new folder with inserts and a DVD (which can be viewed on YouTube and the village website), created to help promote economic growth in the village, was the result of the committee’s efforts over the past 18 months. He recognized all those who contributed to the effort. • Council approved a purchase order to Waste Management for 2014 Junk Day for an estimated 40 tons of capacity at a cost of $6 per ton, plus $764 per truck, for an estimated cost of $6,424. The next regular meeting of council will be at 7:30 p.m. Monday, May 19.

United Way Lake County 2014 campaign chair Michael Victor, J.D., LLC, president of Lake Erie College, speaks at the annual meeting. She has volunteered with UWLC in for many years and in many ways, including as board member and Solution Panel chair. The Matt Logies Ambassador Award was named for UWLC’s former board chair who passed away suddenly in 2010. The Gus Gehring Award was presented to Lieb, who was unable to attend the meeting. His son accepted the award of his behalf.
Lieb, who recently retired from Lubrizol Corporation, was UWLC’s board chair in 2012. He personally sponsored the event, Broadway and Beyond, that year. He has rallied Lubrizol employees to raise more than $100,000 annually, chaired the UWLC campaign and served in many other positions. He currently is a board member and member of UWLC’s Advisory Committee for Community Wide
Campaign chair Paul Vanek, M.D. Needs Assessment. The Gus Gehring Award is presented annually to an outstanding Lake County community leader in recognition of his or her continued service to UWLC. The 2014 campaign begins in August. In addition

UWLC to host community food drop-off May 16 as a final call for help MENTOR – United Way of Lake County is hosting a community-wide food dropoff on Friday, May 16 from noon to 6 p.m. at the OfficeMax location in Mentor as a final call for help to raise food and funds for Feed Lake County. According to the Ohio Department Board of Education, many local school dis-
tricts are seeing an increase in student poverty rates, leading many students to apply for free lunch programs. Painesville Schools has an 87.3 percent student poverty rate, Mentor Schools 29.5 percent and Willoughby-Eastlake Schools has 27.3 percent. In addition, From Jan. 1 to May 1, 2-1-1 has received
3,503 calls for food, which is a 26 percent increase for the amount of calls for food during the same time frame in 2013. While the need for food continues to grow, this year’s Feed Lake County food drive is down in both money raised and pounds of food collected. United Way of Lake County is asking companies, organi-
zations, schools, churches, individuals, etc. to put together one last ditch effort to raise food and money for Feed Lake County before the nonprofit organization conducts a county-wide distribution to the local food pantries the week of May 19. The most requested food items are boxed or canned meals, spaghetti sauce,
pasta, peanut butter, jelly, cereal, canned fruit and tuna. Consider organizing a food drive in and then drop off the results on Friday, May 16 at the Community Food Drop-Off. For more information, contact Gayle Sikula at (440) 639-1082 or Gsikula@uwlc.org. Make an individual mon-
etary or food donation to United Way of Lake County and send to 9285 Progress Parkway, Mentor, Ohio 44060. The money collected during Feed Lake County will be used to make food purchases throughout 2014 to help restock food pantries later in the year.

New Directions for Living connects with other agencies like Headstart, Crossroads and Forbes House. Area churches help supply household items and furniture for New Directions’ housing. First Congregational Church in Painesville, St. Gabriel in Concord Township and Willoughby Friends Church are a few whose donation programs support this effort. Dan McPadden, financial manager for New Directions for Living, welcomes area businesses to get involved. “They can sponsor a client or family, for instance,”
he said. McPadden explained the United Way Day of Caring (June 25) is a good way to start. “It’s nice to see people getting out of the office and getting involved in what we do,” he said. This year there will be volunteers cleaning out a basement room which is needed for storage. A dumpster has been donated for use that day. “We are privately funded – no government assistance,” McPadden said. “We offer a hand up, not a hand out.” Interested volunteers can call Buckey at New Directions for Living at (440) 3576142 or e-mail her at h o l l y . b u c k e y @ newdirectionsforliving.org for information and an application form.

Kermavner Memorial honors 2014 recipients BY IDALITA RASO Gazette Newspapers WILLOWICK – The Bob Kermavner Scholarship Foundation held its seventh annual reverse raffle, dinner and auction April 25. More than 240 guests turned out for an evening filled with fun, dancing, door prizes, side boards and a Chinese auction at the Wickliffe ItalianAmerican Club. The event was held to honor this year’s scholarship recipients and help to raise funds for recognizing future winners. “This is an accomplishment; we have almost doubled our following in seven years,” said foundation member and event coordinator, Marianne Kermavner. “When we started the raffle in 2008, we had 130 attendees and awarded only two $1,000 scholarships. This year we are able to offer three, $2,500 scholarships.” Foundation member Bill Kermavner explained that the Bob Kermavner Memorial Scholarship is not based on grade-point averages or financial need. “It’s a little different. We look at the recipient’s dedication to community service, that’s what it’s all about,” he said. Since 2008 the Bob Kermavner Foundation has awarded $33,000 to local senior high school students. Each year, the Bob Kermavner Scholarship awards three seniors selected from the WilloughbyEastlake and Wickliffe school districts who have exemplified a commitment in community service. In order for students to qualify for the award they must write an essay explaining their volunteer work, have two letters of recommendation and plan to continue their education after high school. The essays are then judged by six of the foundation’s board members and three recipients are awarded a scholarship. The 2014 Bob Kermavner Scholarship recipients are Taylor Castle of Eastlake North High School, Gabrielle Pennington of Willoughby South High School, and Samuel Conway of Wickliffe High School. “This year’s recipients touched us in a very different way than in previous years,” Marianne Kermavner said. “Each of them had significant obstacles in life to overcome. Each of them exemplifies the motto ‘pay it forward.’ These three individuals showed us that the future of volunteering and giving back to our communities is alive and well.” Castle has been volunteering all her life, she said. Her grandfather was paralyzed and she helped to take care of him - feeding and reading to him. This experience inspired her to want become a nurse. “I believe the most fundamental essentials to human growth is helping others. I learned a valuable lesson before I could even realize a lesson was being taught,” Castle said. “I learned to care for another. I learned that it didn’t matter if you can’t walk or talk, what mat-
Bob Kermavner's mother Joan Hunt enjoys herself at the fundraiser held to benefit the scholarship established in her son’s memory held on April 25 at the Wickliffe ItalianAmerican Club ters is that you lived life to its fullest, with a grateful smile on your face despite the challenges.” For three years, Castle has been the president of the Volunteers Club adding to her desire for nursing. Through this club she has been encouraged to give back to the community. “One of my treasured opportunities has been the ability to serve at the Hospice of the Western Reserve,” Castle said. “We, as a group, cook and serve meals, socialize with the families and patients. It’s such an honor to sit with a family and allow them the time to share about the loved one and the journey they are undertaking. “This has given me the compassion to understand deeper into what they are experiencing and it makes facing death, which is a part of life, a little less scary.” Castle has a wide range of activities that she is involved with, including sports (soccer, and golf) the Northern Lights, Tri-M Music Society, Volunteers Club, and the National Honor Society. “One of my favorite quotes about volunteering comes from St. Francis, ‘For it is in giving that we receive,” Castle said, adding that anyone can volunteer. “Find a cause you believe in and serve with a smile and a sense of gratitude.” Inspired by her adopted dog, Zoya, Pennington knew she wanted a career involving wildlife. She has volunteered at the Lake Metroparks Penitentiary Glen Wildlife Rehabilitation Center, the Lake Metroparks Farmpark, and the Lake Humane Society. “While volunteering at Metroparks’ Penitentiary Glen I learned how to care for newborn animals. I was taught how to care for baby rabbits, birds, and squirrels,” Pennington said. “My friends often ask me why I volunteer instead of getting a job, like most people my age. The answer is quite simple, I like what I do. I may not get a paycheck, but I do gain experience and knowledge through my volunteer work.” When Pennington is not volunteering, she is active at Willoughby South High School with different clubs and organizations such as Key club, National Honor Society, and Marching Band. Pennington plans on attending Arkansas Tech Univer-

She plans to one day work in a state park, monitoring populations of animals. Conway is involved at Wickliffe High School in many sports and organizations such as Student Government, Yearbook, Student Improvement Team, and Rachel’s Challenge. He has volunteered with numerous organizations including Wickliffe Youth Basketball and Our Lady of Mount Carmel Festival, The American Red Cross, and Wickliffe Middle School Track Team. Conway believes that volunteering in his community and working with children makes Wickliffe a better place. “I like teaching kids the skills they need, but I also want them to learn there is more to sports than just learning the game,” said Conway. “It is learning teamwork and how to be a good teammate.” Diagnosed at the age of 7 with Type 1 diabetes, Conway became interested
in the medical field. “Even when things got tough and I would have a bad day, the doctors and nurses at the Cleveland Clinic encouraged me,” Conway said. Conway plans on attending Hiram College majoring in nursing, specializing in diabetes. The scholarship fundraiser caught the attention of a new sponsor this year, Kohl’s Associates in Action. AIA is a program that provides up to five associate volunteers for three hours to an organization. “The volunteers from AIA worked diligently, preparing table favors and balloon arrangements, setting up our main and side boards, and proofing place cards for all of the attendees,” Marianne Kermavner said. She also thanked volunteers Mike Dickey and Julie Bradley, who worked the ticket table tirelessly for hours. Bradley also made half the prize baskets this year, Kermavner said. Other new merchants donating prizes this year in-

cluded St. Ladislas Church in Westlake which donated $1,000 in prizes, Wickliffe Eagles, McDonald’s, and Bravo! A touching moment came when Kermavner’s mother won the, “To Mom with Love” basket. “When creating this basket for the raffle I used my mother for inspiration. I added what she and other mothers would love. Chocolates, a heart locket, a beautiful scented candle, a teddy bear, and pink delicate flowers,” Kermavner said. “What made this an extra special moment - my mother had broken her femur bone seven weeks ago and feared she would not be able to attend the raffle.” Bob Kermavner, a longtime resident of Willowick since 1967 until his death in 2007, had a passion for helping others and believed in
contributing to the community. His contributions were countless as he volunteered on the Willowick Police Auxiliary, Willowick Football Association and Willowick Jaycees. It was Kermavner’s commitment to volunteering and giving back to the community continuously that inspired the Kermavner family to establish a scholarship, which recognizes students who have exemplified a commitment in community service; thus, continuing his tradition. Next year’s scholarship raffle will be held Friday, April 24, 2015 at the Wickliffe Italian-American Club.

The cost of conducting the recount is publicly funded, and no deposit is required. (R.C. 3515.011).” Kimbrew said, if a recount is needed, the paper tapes from the machines are looked at, though he doubted they would be different from
the machine results. Any paper votes would need to be recounted as well. The only issue close to needing a recall is the Madison Village Police Levy. The vote was 398 for the levy and 393 opposed. But, unless the 0.64 percent winning margin is reduced with absentee or provisional ballots, it is still not close enough for a recall. Madison Village Mayor Sam Britton could be “heard” smiling over the phone line when called for a comment after the results
were posted Tuesday night. “It passed by five and we’re real happy about that and hope it holds,” he said. “I hope it does and we can move forward then. I’m waiting to put the ‘Thank You’ on the signs to make sure it’s true. “It’s great for the village police department and it gives us money to work with.” He said they might be hiring one more full-time officer and a much-needed police car, but they would not be returning it to what it was
immediately. Britton noted there were two mayoral elections in the village which were decided by just one vote in years past. Concerning the charter amendment to reduce Madison Village Council from seven to five members, the mayor said he did not think the people really understood what the results of that reduction could mean.

Shred documents, help Harvest for Hunger MENTOR - Carver Financial Services, Inc. is teaming up with Northcoast Shredding Services, Inc. for a third year to provide free shredding of documents for their clients and community. While there is neither a cost or obligation for this service Randy Carver, the president of the firm, is asking those who participate to donate non-perishable food. Students from Mentor High School National Honor Society are volunteering their time to assist with the logistics of this event which is be-
ing held Saturday, May 10 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at 7473 Center St. in Mentor. “Our annual event has been a way to say thank you to our clients and is also a way for our clients to help others in the community by donating food items. This event is a win-win by helping protect folks from identity theft while also helping those in need,” Carver said. All food will be donated to the Cleveland Food Bank in support of their Harvest for Hunger campaign. “This is a great example
of organizations and individuals volunteering their time and resources to help our community,” Carver said. People who wish to have things shredded at this event may bring up to three boxes of unbound documents. They cannot accept plastic bags, newspapers or garbage for shredding. The shredder can process staples and paperclips but not the large metal clips or binders. Carver’s business has grown over the years so has his community involvement.
He is active in the Mentor Rotary Club and has worked with Big Brothers-Sisters of Lake County, sits on the Board of the Lake County Council on Aging and hosts both his annual food drive and a charity golf event. Carver Financial Services began its 2013 initiative “Carver Cares” which has highlighted and supported local charitable organizations including; New Directions, Hospice of Western Reserve, Lake Humane Society and the Deepwood Foundation.
Port Authority launches new website LAKE COUNTY – The Lake County Ohio Port and Economic Development Authority has launched a new website which is intended to serve multiple purposes. First, it is designed to meet the needs of national site selectors, real estate professionals, and businesses seeking to locate or expand in Lake County. The website incorporates a special feature called Ohio InSite where site selectors can search available land and commercial properties in Lake County. The LCOPEDA, together
with Lakeland Community College, hosts the Small Business Development Center. Therefore, the site also provides access to the SBDC programs, material on how to start a business, and information on various financing options such as SBA 504 loans, county economic loans, microloans, CROP loans. In addition the site also explains LCOPEDA Bond programs that are available. Recognizing the value of tourism, the website provides links to county attractions, the Lake County Visi-
tors Bureau, Lake Metroparks, and other tourist attractions promoting day trips and “staycations” to neighbors across the northeast Ohio region. The website also serves as a portal to “to all things Lake County” and provides links to community partners including links to all city, village and township demographic profiles and school system websites within Lake County. As a recruitment and attraction tool for businesses seeking to hire persons from outside northeast Ohio, the
website is intended to support recruitment efforts by providing a resource for “trailing spouses” who wish to know more about Lake County, the neighborhoods, school systems and quality of life. The new website at lcport.org is a result of more than 500 hours of research and more than 50 pages of content put together with the help of all the Port's staff members. After interviewing 11 firms, EDSuite from Texas was chosen to design the new site.

St. Gabriel enrichment program works with NASA CONCORD – This spring St. Gabriel students accepted a challenge from NASA. The project is called Exploration Design Challenge and was developed by NASA. Saint Gabriel's Academic Talent students in grades three to six are participating in this program with Karla DeMali the Academic Talent/Enrichment Teacher. During this challenge, students have been studying the effects of radiation on human space travelers and have analyzed different materials that simulate space radiation shielding for the upcoming voyage trip of Orion. NASA along with Lockheed Martin are designing the Orion spacecraft that will carry astronauts beyond low Earth orbit and on to an asteroid and or Mars in the near future. With this unit the AT students are developing critical thinking and problem solving skills along with research design that incorporates the properties of STEM (Science Technology, Engineering and Math). This also includes collaborat-

“Even very young children are getting their hands on mobile devices and they are taking pictures—pictures of themselves, their families and the world around them,” she said. “I encourage children who don’t have access to a traditional camera to ask their parents to use their cell phone cameras for the competition.” Between now and May 15, kids can bring a printed copy of their photo (no bigger than 5” by 7”) to the children’s department of Mentor Public Library’s Main Branch. They will also need to fill out a submission form to enter the contest. All contest entries will be displayed in the children’s department; and, from May 16 until the end of the month, library patrons can vote on their favorites. The top vote-getters in each of the three categories will win a prize. Anyone with questions about the photography contest can call the Mentor Public Library’s children’s department at (440) 255-8811 ext. 221.

MENTOR - Mentor Public Library is holding a photography contest for kids during the month of May. Children up to the age of 12 can enter the contest, and they can use any device—a phone, tablet, even a camera—to take their winning snapshot. There are three categories: people, places and artistic. The people category allows the photographers to focus their lenses on their friends and family and even themselves. The places category lets them share their best photos from vacation, a favorite landmark or a trip to the park. After all, sometimes the most photogenic views are just a short walk from home. Finally, the artistic category embraces anything that’s neither person nor place. The young photographers can let their imagination run free and then capture it in a snapshot. Kids can compete in any category, but they can only enter one photo in the contest, so they should make sure the photo they submit is their best. Marilyn Weiss, a children’s library associate for Mentor Public Library, said she came up with idea for the contest while looking through entries for the National Geographic Kids photo competition. “I was impressed that such amazing photographs had been taken by such young photographers,” she said. “I wanted to give children from our community the opportunity to share their experiences and document their surroundings through photography.” Weiss added that cellphone cameras have made photography accessible to everyone.

Education Students write about heroes CONCORD - Dillon Bangasser, a student at St. Gabriel, was one of the seven winners out of 90 area seventh-graders to win the Mentor Woman's Club Essay Contest. The writing prompt was "Who is your hero/heroine and why?" “I chose the firemen who came to my house at midnight when there was a gas leak. I chose them because they were risking their lives just for others. They probably could have been doing other things like sleeping or spending time with family,” said Bangasser. He received a $25 gift card to Barnes and Noble, a Certificate of Recognition, and was welcomed to read his essay at a reception held by the club.

in yards that have no pets The Butters saga continues into the great outdoors. For first-time readers, Butters is a rescued hound dog that's presently testing this writer's ability to retain one last scrap of patience. Some days, I'd just settle for a scrap of peace and quiet. Last fall we had some work done in our backyard that required the use of a backhoe. The experience wasn't a good one. For starters, the size of the machine used for the job would have been better suited for digging basements for Walmart stores, if this retail establishment ever decided they needed them. (I'm talking Superstore, not the regular sized ones.) In addition, it had rained the night before said backhoe's arrival. Not a gentle rain either, more of a raging torrent measuring two-plus inches. The ground wasn't wet, it was saturated and my backyard isn't level, it's sloped. When the thick-treaded tires of this machine started moving, so did the earth. On several occasions it slid sideways, spinning its wheels and each time taking a good six inches of grass and topsoil along for the ride. When the work was completed, there wasn't a single blade of green standing. At the time, I was just grateful that my chain-link fence still was. So what does one do with a yard full of mud, two big dogs and eight muddy paws? My husband had a plan, we'd cover it in plastic tarps, similar to what they do at Progressive Field. I'm privileged to own a large yard meaning I needed to purchase several tarps. I think I bought eight and filled in the remaining space with old pup tents, shower curtains, feed sacks, patio furniture cushions and various water repellent coverings I had lying around. Fortunately, the soil that makes up my yard is mostly clay and rocks, plenty to weigh down all that plastic. However, when it rained the yard turned into a giant Slip & Slide with rocks large enough to let you feel every
BATTLES WITH BUTTERS by Pat Greene Contributing Photographer "slip" and make your "slide" a true experience. I can tolerate wet plastic, but not frozen plastic. Falling on the frozen ground hurts way worse than slipping in soft mud. When the Polar Vortex arrived, I didn't have to worry about muddy paw prints covering every surface inside the house up until about three weeks ago. However, I did realize the baseball field tarp idea wasn't going to work and we'd need another plan. To be fair, I had all winter to figure out ways to plant grass and keep two roughhousing dogs from destroying all the tender shoots. In the end, I decided to buy that orange plastic fencing used at construction sites. Seemed like a good idea at the time and it was relatively cheap. The fence could be easily installed using plastic zipties fastened around the steel fence posts, an effective barrier that took Butters all of three days to realize it could be defeated by simply headbutting the plastic fence and tearing it loose from the zip ties like… well, butter. Within one week the backyard was littered in orangecolored plastic confetti and the fence so tattered the Rolling Stones could have written a song about it. Not enough to just slip under the fence, Butters made a game of taking it down. He'd shoot out from the back door like a bullet and head straight for the fence. If I were standing on the deck within striking distance, he'd tear across the rear part of the yard and then charge at the bottom of the orange barrier like a bull that's seen red. Next he'd spin and charge it again only aiming higher, causing the fence to split open and fall down. Once down, it would waddle the chickens. Did I mention I own chickens? Three years ago a good friend asked if I wanted her

These chickens worship Butters as he provides the access needed to enter the land of endless grass seed. chickens. They were beyond their prime egg-laying-years and deemed too scrawny to eat so, if I wanted, they were mine for free. Considering it comparable to pardoning them from certain death, I gladly took them in. They're now my "pets with benefits" providing somewhere between two and four fresh eggs most days. Chickens love to scratch things. Scratching at straw with grass seed under it is probably the closest thing to fowl heaven. Chickens would normally never challenge an orange construction fence but, thanks to Butters, that obstacle now failed to exist. He had managed to open up the yard to a new show of poultry entertainment. For those who own them, you know that herding chickens is much like herding cats. I have learned that a slice of bread will hold their attention for only a short period of time, one I thought would allow me to lead them from our newly-seeded yard, through the broken fence, and into their coop by dangling a slice of bread in front of them. Much like the proverbial carrot… I play the part of the stick. Of course, I failed to lock up the dogs in this process and you can probably guess what happened. Butters snuck up behind me, snatched the bread out of my hand, and scattered the chickens in the process. By the time I made the trip back inside the house to get more bread, they'd eaten
another pound of grass seed. Understand, by now, I have steam coming out of my ears. I've balled the bread up into both fists and I'm stomping around in the straw trying to kick the chicks out. Yet, all I've managed to kick up is dust. I needed to think smarter than this hound. I went back to the feed store, bought 150 feet of chicken wire and ziptied that to what was left of the construction fence and fence posts. Next, I pounded anchor-stakes into the ground every two feet in order to secure both fences (plastic and metal) in place. Although, because we apparently live in what can only be described as the lower Alaska territory and new grass has yet to grow, my redesigned fence has served to keep the critters out. With that, let's tally up the cost of a future green lawn. (At this point there is no guarantee, but one does need hope.) Man-hours expended to prepare yard for seeding - 20. Two 100' sections of plastic orange construction fence $75. Twenty steel fence posts - $100. Thirty pounds of grass seed - $60. Six bales of straw - $36. One 150' section of chicken wire fence - $50. Thirty metal anchor stakes - $18. A thousand zip-ties needed to constantly repair the fence - $10. Being able to watch Butters tear across the yard, head-butt the chicken-wire fence and bounce back in dazed surprise - Priceless.

Katie Petro swims to raise Rebels blank Eagles money to make YMCA handicap accessible BY BYRON C. WESSELL Gazette Newspapers
Fourteen-year-old Katie Petro has Osteogenesis Imperfecta, which is more commonly known as brittle bone disease. Katie has broken over 17 bones and has suffered other complications common to OI. But she is not going to allow her disease to stand in the way of her hopes or dreams. In August, Katie will be part of a swim from Canada to the United States, something she has dreamed about doing since she was eight years old in hopes of raising money and awareness to make the Ashtabula YMCA handicap accessible. This will be Katie’s third year of organizing her own fundraiser for the YMCA’s Handicap Accessibility Improvement Fund. Katie chose to swim from Canada because, she said, “It’s a big challenge, so hopefully we can raise big money.” She has been training seven days a week since February. She had hoped to start training earlier and do a solo-swim, but a bad flip turn at an Invitational in Youngstown left her in a cast and out of the pool. The day after she got the cast off, although she still had another four weeks of healing in a walking boot, she was back in the pool. Katie is currently swimming about three miles a day. “It’s hard to get much more than that because lap swim times are limited; and it’s hard to make all the lap swims with my school schedule,” she said. She is anxious for summer to arrive so she can spend her time in Lake Erie. Katie plans to swim about 12-15 miles of the 25-mile journey from Ontario, Canada, to Erie, Pa. When the swim is complete, she will be one of the youngest to swim across Lake Erie. Because of her injury and age, the solo swim had to become a relay, which consists of her and a group of nine people all over the age of 30, with her swim coach being the oldest at 67. The swim is called something that would tell the whole story: Katie’s Canada Over-the-Hill & Under-aged Relay so Accessibility is Given to Everyone Swim; or simply put, Katie’s COURAGE. Katie can’t do what a lot of other kids can. She can’t ride a bike, run, or participate in any other sports. OI has often kept her watching from the sidelines or left out all together. Parents are reluctant to invite the kid who breaks easily to a birthday party or a sleepover. Fortunately, Katie has an unbreakable spirit. She has found her strength and is using it to help others. In 2012, she organized her first fundraiser to help purchase a handicap lift for the YMCA pool. In 2013, she organized her second fundraiser for handicap accessibility at the Y. She also started her own business last year, Katie’s Creations, selling jewelry and crafts that she has designed and made so that she would have her own money to donate to charity. Osteogenesis Imperfecta Awareness Week is May 3-10. Katie is very passionate about raising enough money to make some very expensive improvements to the YMCA, which include completing the handicap accessible walkway, installing an automatic door, and adding a handicap changing area for the pool. Katie is determined to make a difference; it would be great if you could help her. You can view Katie’s website at katiescourage.com. Donations can be made by clicking on the YMCA link on Katie’s page or going directly to the Ashtabula YMCA’s website. Click “give” and scroll to “katies courage handicap accessibility fund.” All donations will go directly to the Ashtabula YMCA exclusively for handicap-accessibility improvements.
GENEVA – The Geneva Eagles softball team hosted the South Rebels in a recent PAC softball game. The visiting Rebels were able to come away with a 6-0 win over the Eagles. South went to work early in building a 3-0 lead in the opening inning. Morgan Hodge drew a one-out walk to get things started for the Rebels. Vic Scott followed with a single as the Rebels would string three hits together. Nicole Mareino and Lauren Blasinsky each followed with RBI singles. The Rebels added another run when the ball deflected off of a base runner on the throw home. The Eagles looked to answer in the bottom half of the inning as they loaded the bases. Kylie Hansen and Alyssa Donato hit back-toback singles to start the inning. After a fielder’s choice by Jamie Verno, Taylor Stoltz loaded the bases with
a walk. South pitcher Morgan Hodge was able to get out of the one-out jam with a strike out and a pop-up to end the inning. The Rebels added to their lead in the second inning as Allison Barber bunted for a hit. Morgan Hodge also singled in the inning and both runners would score after a pair of miscues by the Eagles. The Rebels were quickly up 5-0 in the contest. South went back to work in the third inning as Tori Neff singled and scored on an RBI double by Olivia Scott. The Eagles had a chance to climb back in the game in the third inning as Alyssa Donato lead off with a triple. However, Donato was later tagged out at home on a groundout to keep the Eagles off the board. Alyssa Donato starting on the mound for the Eagles would hold south scoreless the rest of the game as the Eagles fell 6-0.
