Fire chief thanks voters for support BY MARIAN MCMAHON Gazette Newspapers CONCORD TOWNSHIP Fire Chief Mike Warner reported on departmental activities at the May 7 trustees meeting. “The number one thing on our agenda is to thank the voters for supporting us in the renewal fire levy … ” Warner said. He said the firefighters were the ones who got the word out and explained they did not do flyers because Township funds cannot be used to promote levies; a group would have to raise funds for that. He asked the trustees to approve promotion of part-time firefighter Brian Fleming to regular senior part-time paramedic, which they did. “Safety Day will be the 17th of May from 11 to 3 p.m.,” Warner said. “Safety Day is an opportunity to touch the truck. It’ll be held here on the Commons.” Hot dogs and soft drinks will be available, and the National Guard is supposed to bring a Humvee for a seatbelt challenge, he added. Other activities include fire station

tours, home safety exhibits, boat safety, the Mentor Boating Safety Trailer, a home sprinkler trailer, and fire extinguisher training. He noted the department has a Facebook page. Lt. Matt Sabo and firefighter Mike Biddell graduated from Franklin University with bachelor degrees May 11. Fire hydrants are currently being flushed. If water comes out cloudy, run the cold water only until it clears up, not hot water since that could allow tainted water to get into the hot water tank. The department had 172 runs in April with 11 motor vehicle accidents, 21 basic rescues and 68 paramedic calls.

City seeks CDBG funds to help with demolition costs BY MARIAN MCMAHON Gazette Newspapers PAINESVILLE – Council suspended readings and passed as an emergency a resolution authorizing application for, and acceptance of financial assistance, from the Lake County Fiscal Year 2014 Community Block Grant Program at the May 5 council meeting. The funds would help pay the costs to demolish the deteriorated former hotel at 257 Main Street. “We would be requesting $75,000 in CDBG funding and basically what that will serve as is gap funding between the money ($303,900) that we got from the Lake County Land Reutilization Corporation (LCLRC) (and the total cost of the demolition and remediation),” Assistant City Manager Doug Lewis said. The city hopes to complete demolition by the end of the year. The deadline for application was May 16 so immediate passage was needed.
Council also suspended readings and passed as an emergency a resolution recognizing the responsibility of the city of Painesville to affirmatively further fair housing. Lewis said passage of this resolution was a requirement of receiving the CDBG funds. In other business: • Council held an executive session prior to the council meeting to discuss personnel. • Council presented Tara Diehl a proclamation in recognition Of Municipal Clerk’s Week. • South State Street residents said they are still having problems with fights and disturbances at the bar by their homes. They asked that something be done about the profanity, public sex acts, threats and noise for the sake of the young children. • Ray Sternot of Birchwood Lane expressed concerns about whether Heisley Park would benSee CDBG on Page 5
BY IDALITA RASO Gazette Newspapers MENTOR - City Council passed an ordinance authorizing a $10,000 Economic Development Grant to Associated Compensation Resources (ACR) at 9237 Mentor Ave. at its May 6 meeting. The company purchased the old Tiffin University building and is investing $150,000 toward renovating the interior into a state of the art office space. Mentor Economic Development Director Ronald Traub described the vacant building as problematic. “As a retail space, the building has limited visibility, sitting behind Bob Evans. But as an office space the building is perfect,” Traub said. ACR is a third party claims administrator, specializing in unemployment and workers compensation and Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) claims. The economic grant, totaling $60,000, will be used toward costs associated with relocation and the purchase of new equipment, Traub said.

Ian replaces Tahoe as accelerant dog at fire department BY MARIAN MCMAHON Gazette Newspapers PAINESVILLE TOWNSHIP – In December 2006, the Fire Department had a new addition to its staff when Tahoe, an accelerant dog was brought back from training by his handler, Gordon Thompson, who is now a lieutenant in the department. With Tahoe aging out, the department sought to replace him and the new dog was introduced at the May 6 trustees meeting. “This is Ian our new accelerant detection dog,” Thompson said. “He’s owned, trained and certified by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.” Ian is 2 years old and a mix of golden and Labrador retriever. He was initially being trained as a guide dog, but wanted to chase small animals, which disqualified him. Despite a partial foot amputation, Tahoe had returned to work, but is now retired. He and Ian both live with Thompson and his fam-
CONCORD May 17. “Please be careful of what you put on the graves of your loved ones, because sometimes they have legs and walk away,” Dawson said. “Unfortunately, we’ve lost over the past two years several beautiful bouquets.” There will be a ceremony on Memorial Day, Monday, May 26 at noon at the Concord Township Cemetery on Route 608. • Acting administrator Kathy Mitchell reported the funding for recycling from the county this year was $14,683.20. This is the last year for the funding. • Frank Kraska of the Service Department reported they have been performing repairs from the winter months. Sewer basins are being inspected and street sweeping was done. Brush and yard waste drop off took place May 10 and will also take place May 17 from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Service Garage on Ravenna Road. Location: Service Garage, 7229 Ravenna Rd. Only limbs, twigs, branches and tree trunks with a diameter 6 inches or less will be accepted. Yard waste must be in biodegradable bags. • Debra Bechel-Esker of the Recreation Department reported Concord Community Days will be Aug. 15 and 16 this year. Volunteers are needed. • LCSO Lt. Jeff Sherwood reported there were 1,545 calls for the month. There were four arrests for driving under suspension/no driver’s license, four for domestic violence and one for a TPO violation. New Investigations were started for two assaults, one burglary, two drug complaints, two sex offenses and three thefts. • A Hunting Lake Drive resident said there was noise problem caused by a business which abuts his
ily and get along well. “He’s a very good dog—the same demeanor as Tahoe; we got lucky again,” Thompson said. The team of Ian and Thompson serve the Northeast Ohio area. He and Tahoe were called out once a week on average. Fire Chief Frank Whittaker reported he was back to full staff since a couple of injured firefighters had returned to work. “I’m asking for the trustees to approve a resolution to enter into an MOU—a memorandum of understanding—with the Lake County Commissioners regarding our hosting of the new mobile command center,” Whittaker said. The resolution was approved. In other business: • Lake County Sheriff ’s Office Capt. Carl Dondorfer, road patrol commander, reported on the 1,906 April calls for service in the Township. There were 21 motor vehicle accidents of which four involved injuries. There were two arrests for operat-

Trustee Chris Galloway said they were limited on what they could do but they would talk to the owner, look into the property use and practices and other issues. Price said he believed he had a right to enjoy his property. • The trustees voted to approve April financial reports; a purchase order for a comprehensive plan change order for $6,500 with Northstar Planning and Design; to advertise for bids for Town Hall furnace and air conditioning replacement; to hire Ronald Sheaks, Jr. as a Zoning Department intern at $11 per hour pending background check and drug testing; to approve a salary increase on completion of probation for Recreation Department office assistant Bernadette Kraska to $9.78 per hour; to hire Pete Booth and Cindy Zilk at $8.50 per hour as facilities attendants for the Recreation Department pending background check and drug testing. • The trustees approved Service Department purchase orders of a 2015 F-350 4X4 truck, from Valley Truck at $29,795; for 2015-350 crew cab truck, from Valley Truck at $36,259.50; for durapatch emulsion, from Northcoast Products at $12,000; and for crackseal machine rental and materials, from DJL Material & Supply at $16,000. • Trustees signed the Mylar for Concord Ridge Subdivision Phases 2 and 3, Improvement Plans. • The trustees approved a change order not to exceed $20,000 for additional services for Crile Road cul-desac, with CDM Smith, not to exceed $20,000.

New investigations were opened for one child abuse, four assaults, one breaking and entering, four B&Es to vehicles, nine burglaries, five drug complaints, three sex offenses, 17 thefts, eight vandalisms, one stolen vehicle and a recovered corpse. • Patrick Coyne was present during the work session to speak about the upcoming Ohio Celtic Festival at the Lake County Fairgrounds from June 27 to June 29. • A Sycamore resident asked for assistance with flooding on his property and in his basement which has flooded three times in the past two years. • Bill Thompson, head of the Road Department said he had two summer workers starting soon. He planned on attending a snow and ice workshop in Solon. • There will be a public hearing on the Mapleview Consent Agreement at 11
a.m. Tuesday, June 3. Mapleview Village LLC had wanted to make some substantial changes to the PUD so the application was denied. Mapleview planned to take it to court, administrator Mike Manary said, but before that happened, the trustees worked out some compromises like reducing the number of units from 174 to 136 and adding a swimming pool. • Trustees passed a resolution supporting the Lake County Land Reutilization Corporation in developing a park in Painesville Township. Manary said, the owner of a triangular piece of land at Pontiac and Sycamore, which was never developed because it was too small for a house, donated the property to the Lake County Land Reutilization Corporation, otherwise known as the Lake County Land Bank. The Land Bank will make it into a small park and then donate it to the Township which will take on responsibility for maintaining it.

CDBG efit if the city decided to go with the higher level of involvement in the Lake County Stormwater Management Department. He said it was his understanding his homeowner association was being pressured to take more responsibility for all the stormwater issues in their subdivision. • First reading was held on a resolution to enter into a memorandum of understanding with the Lake County Commissioners to fulfill our NPDES permit requirements and become a Level 2 community with the Lake County Stormwater Management Department. “It is a two-pronged advantage—having the county take over the six requirements of our permit is very vital and important and beneficial to the City,” City Manager Tony Carson said, “and to be able to provide additional funding for some much-needed stormwater projects in the city, which would also be a benefit of the arrangement with Lake County Stormwater.” • Lewis reported CSX will be rescheduling another meeting concerning the complaints from Heisley Park residents about all the trains being parked in the area. He explained at a previous meeting the railroad was doing extensive work on the tracks and that was the reason for the parking. Noise readings taken from 9 p.m. to 7 a.m. have shown there have been some violations. • An ordinance amending Section 1375.02 relating to vacant property/building registration remained tabled. Law Director Joe Gurley and Lewis have been working on some proposed changes to the legislation. Gurley said some basic changes could easily be made, but there were some other points he felt needed work. When he is done he will
From page 1 present all the changes. • A resolution authorizing an agreement with the East End Lake County Council of Governments for the joint purchase of an air/rescue truck remained tabled. • A public hearing was held on Commercial/Organizational Recreation Facilities in M2 Industrial Districts as a conditional use. Speaking on behalf of the applicant was attorney Paul Malchesky. He asked that council approve the CUP, noting his client owns building for which he cannot find a manufacturing tenant. He said operation would only be on Saturdays and Sundays and other restrictions were acceptable to his client, but the Planning Commission still denied the CUP. Malchesky said operation of a party center would generate income for the city. Council asked questions about building modifications, kitchen and restroom facilities, security, parking and capacity. No one from the public spoke for or against the CUP. After hearing from city planner Russ Schaedlich, council voted 5-2 to uphold the Planning Commission’s decision to deny the CUP. • Another public hearing is scheduled for May 19 on another matter concerning Commercial/Organizational Recreation Facilities in M2 Industrial Districts as a conditional use. • Councilmember Lori DiNallo asked council if there was interest in legislation requiring reliable security measures for establishments whose main business is serving alcohol. She suggested that perhaps a program like Crime Free Housing could be initiated for such businesses. Councilmember Mike DeLeone said he was not opposed to such legislation, but he felt more information was needed on how many estab-
lishments there were in the city, how they would be designated and what other communities did to deal with problems. DiNallo said it was more a matter “that we are expecting them to put some general security principles into place.” Councilmember Jim Fodor said perhaps they could provide some guidelines on how to handle certain situations and when to call the police. Councilmember Andrew
Flock said he did not know that it was their place to “meddle” in the businesses. Gurley said problem issues are generally brought up when the business reapplies for a new liquor license. He said legislation would only make sense if it had “teeth” and the only way to do that would be to make them criminal offenses. In order to do that the legislation would need to be very specific. The next regular meeting of council is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Monday, May 19.

Grainger Foundation donates to EMA BY MARIAN MCMAHON Gazette Newspapers LAKE COUNTY Lake County EMA Director Larry Greene accepted a sizeable check from the Grainger Foundation at the May 1 Lake County Board of Commissioners meeting. “Every year the Grainger Foundation gives us funds that we can bring into our community and this year
we were able to give a grant of $10,000 to the Lake County Emergency Management Fund, so we’d like to present that check … ” said Gail Yost of the Grainger Foundation. She stated they were pleased to be able to partner with Lake County EMA. Greene said the donation was very good for the citizens of the county since it will be used to make purchases for organizations
involved in emergency services such as the Red Cross, 2-1-1, and the Citizens Corps. “(The money will help) a lot of the agencies that we don’t really see a lot of until bad things happen,” Greene said. Noting this was the third year for such a donation, he said they have purchased cots, generators, and even items for amateur radio operators who assist with communications.
“Once again, I cannot thank you enough; these funds will be put to good use,” Greene said. Lake County Board of Commissioners President Dan Troy expressed thanks as well. He said $4,000 would be used for mass care and sheltering supplies, including cell phone chargers. The balance of $6,000 will be for education and public outreach.
Skylights add to energy savings for Laketran PAINESVILLE TOWNSHIP – Laketran is continuing to look for ways to save taxpayers money by implementing Phase III of its energy conservation program. With the aid of a federal grant, Laketran is installing 60 skylights in its 151,500 square foot bus garage to complement new high efficiency lighting to reduce its dependence on electricity. In Phase I, the driver/dis-
patch areas and parts room were upgraded with new energy reduction lighting in 2006. In Phase II, occurring in 2013, the maintenance department’s high bay area’s 185 existing 385 watt pendant light fixtures were replaced with four-bulb high efficiency T-8 fluorescent light fixtures that consume only 95 watts. This reduced the connected consumption by 75 percent.
In the other parts of the Laketran facility, fixtures with T-12 lamps were retrofitted with a T-8 conversion kit that replaced the ballast and lamp holders. “Once the skylights are installed in the bus storage area, there should be enough natural light to keep the lights off the majority of the day. For higher efficiency, the new lights will also be controlled in two ways. When there is not enough natural
lighting, sensors will trigger the lights to come on and a timer will be utilized so that the lights will only be on when necessary for the work hours,” said Keith Bare, director of maintenance. Phase III is being funded 80 percent ($196,358) by a federal transportation enhancement grant that requires 20 percent ($49,090) local matching funds for a total cost of $245,448.
Subaru Shares the Love with $2,500 grant MENTOR - The Lake County Council on Aging has been awarded a $2,500 grant from the Meals on Wheels Association of America (MOWAA) thanks to Subaru of America. These dollars will help subsidize meal costs and go directly to help feed homebound seniors in Lake County. During the 2013 “Share the Love” holiday campaign, Subaru donated $250 to five different national charities for each new car purchased or leased. The Meals on Wheels Association of America was one of these charities and in turn awarded this “Share the
Love” grant to local Meals on Wheels programs. The Lake County Council on Aging was regionally selected. “I am humbled by your decision to choose us as the beneficiary of this year’s grant. The number of seniors aging in place, accessing nutritional services through the Council on Aging and allowing them to stay in their homes is on the rise. Senior hunger is a fact in Lake County,” said Joe Tomsick, CEO of the Lake County Council on Aging. Between 2012 and 2013, the agency reported an increase of 20 percent in the number of homebound se-
niors participating in the Meals on Wheels program. Federal funding for the program however has actually decreased by 40 percent since 2011. “This grant will help offset shortages our agency now faces due to cuts in federal, state and local funding. We thank our partners for considering the needs of serving Lake County seniors,” Tomsick said. Designed to foster partnerships between local Meals On Wheels programs and Subaru dealerships, the Council on Aging collaborated with Adventure Subaru of Painesville to help
secure the grant award. The program also included a “Stuff the Trunk” challenge to collect canned goods and raise funds, and employees had the opportunity to deliver meals to homebound seniors. In 2013, the Council on Aging provided more than 153,000 home-delivered meals to participants striving to remain independent in their homes throughout Lake County. Annually, more than 500 volunteers play a role in the delivery process and provide a daily well-check on the seniors, reporting any health and environmental changes or crises they may observe.

Commissioner Judy Moran called the turnout “disheartening.” PUBLIC COMMENT EXECUTIVE SESSION The commissioners adjourned to executive session to discuss personnel discipline.
LAKE COUNTY – The Lake County Board of Commissioners recognized the 100th anniversary of the establishment of the Nationwide Cooperative Extension Service at the May 8 meeting. The signing of the SmithLever Act on May 8, 1914 officially created the Extension services across the country. “… The Ohio State University Cooperative Extension established a presence in Lake County soon after, in 1917 … ” Board President Dan Troy read from the resolution. It was noted the Nationwide Cooperative Extension Service is now the world’s largest, nonformal educational system. The main programs presented by NCES are: Family and Consumer Sciences, 4-H Youth Development, Environmental Education, Horticultural Master Gardener, Natural Resources and Sea Grant. They are always being adapted to meet current needs. “We’d sure love to thank
the commissioners for your support, because we wouldn’t be here without you, and we’re hopefully doing the job that you want for the county itself,” said Randy Zondag, Extension director and educator, Horticulture/ Natural Resources. “We’ve found out it’s one of the best counties we’ve ever worked in.” Troy said they see the benefits of OSU Extension in Painesville, especially with the 4-H participation in the Lake County Fair each year. He said the Extension Office has been a great resource and has helped with things like solid waste policy planning and recycling in the county. “I think it’s just a great partnership and for a real small portion of our county budget we’re happy to subsidize you, and I’m glad we hear we do better at subsidizing that most other counties do,” Troy said. “We just think it’s a great investment for a relatively small amount of our resources.” Commissioner Bob Aufuldish recounted how, when he was mayor of Wickliffe years ago, Zondag

Play dramatizes the grief of heroin addiction BY BEATRICE SHANNON Gazette Newspapers WILLOUGHBY—“Complete and Total” is a play about the devastation of heroin abuse, a growing problem in Lake County. Northeast Ohio and the country. The Fine Arts Association, through its Theatre for Healthy Living ™ is reaching out to teens and their families by bringing the play to local high schools. The play is part of the educational program developed by Crossroads and ADAMHS (Alchohol, Drug Abuse, and Mental Health Services) Board in collaboration with Fine Arts to address important social issues that affect high school and middle school students. “Complete and Total,” written by professional playwright Greg Vovos, takes the audience down the hellish path of teen user, Eric, and his hopeful sister, Madison. Eric is played by two actors - one for his struggling body and one for his righteous mind. The struggle between the two gives the audience an enlightened and painful look at the nature of addiction. In essence its Madison’s play about what happened to her brother and her faith in him. In the midst of Eric’s struggle are two cousers, Hannah and Bobby, who artfully and constantly entice him to join them in a high. “I can’t believe how real it was,” said student, Megan Budziak after seeing the play. Camille Herby, education specialist at Crossroads, pointed out that reaching the community in this way is timely and necessary.

Rae Grady, prevention and education specialist for ADAMHS Board, was moved by the audience reaction at Auburn Career Center where the play was first shown. “The kids were amazed by it,” she said. “We knew we had to show it to a wider audience.” James Mango, director of Eric, played by Chase Thompson, is lucky to be alive and performing arts at FAA is passionate about this able to tell his story in "Complete and Total." project. “It’s a way for kids to talk “Heroin addiction is far- dying at 22 from heroin over- about important issues,” reaching in our community. dose likely started out at 13 said Mango. “When first castIt affects everyone—it’s not abusing prescription drugs. ing this play, I looked for the related to income, race, or We need to get the proper real kid, not the drama student, to play the role - the ethnicity,” Herby said. “It’s education out there.” After each performance, a kid whose actual sincerity a tremendous problem. Kids
and honesty resonate with the audience. It’s got to pass the BS meter, if you will,” he said. Mango explained the professional cast now is held to the same original standard. Greg Vovos based his work on input from recovering heroin users who have lived the struggle and pain of addiction. Vovos wanted to create a meaningful and true theatre dialog. “It’s awesome to be part of this project - to send a powerful message, but in an entertaining way. For me, it’s challenging and rewarding,” he said. “I’m grateful to be able to tell these stories recovery from addiction is lifelong and difficult. I see how people need to express themselves and need someone to listen.” “Someone to listen is the
key,” said Camille Herby “We’ve got to keep the lines of love open—to say to the struggling addict, you deserve to have a future.” Chris Simon, court administrator for Lake County Juvenile Court praises the recovery programs in Lake County. “The residents here are lucky - we have a lot of services and talented people who can help,” he said. “Complete and Total” will be performed free for the public at Fairport High School, Madison High School, and Eastlake North High School this school year.

Money missing from Parent Teacher Club WILLOUGHBY - Jill C. Bouton, a 37-year-old Willoughby resident, was charged with grand theft, a felony of fourth degree, for her alleged theft of $17,226.82 from the Willoughby-Eastlake Grant School Parent Teacher Club (PTC). The alleged theft occurred over a two-year period from Dec. 6, 2012 to Jan. 7. On Jan. 30, Stephen Thompson, superintendent of Willoughby-Eastlake Schools, contacted the Willoughby Police Department to make a report of the alleged theft. Thompson, along with PTC President Elizabeth Heindell and PTC Treasurer Brany Bliss assisted the Willoughby Detective Bureau with the investigation by providing accounting documents of the Grant School PTC including bank registers, deposits, telecommunication records, written statements, interviews and bank checks. Bouton had served as the Grant School PTC Treasurer for the 2011 to 2012 school year. She then served as the Grant School PTC president for the 2012 to 2013 school and the first
half of the 2013 to 2014 school year. According to the police report, during those time periods Bouton would have PTC checks issued to her to allegedly pay for different student activity expenses and for the reimbursement of expenses on purchases she allegedly made with her personal credit cards. The thefts were not detected earlier as there also had been a changeover of treasurers within the organization. Once taking office, the current PTC president and treasurer noticed the account discrepancies. The Board of Education and the Grant School Parent Teacher Club have taken steps and made changes to ensure this type of activity does not happen again, and that no one would have the ability to distribute funds without more accountability. Bouton turned herself in on the charge of grand theft to the court April 30. She was arraigned in Willoughby Municipal Court May 1. Her bond was set at $7,500 10 percent bond and a preliminary hearing was scheduled for May 22.
