Time forValentines Belief of senior center closings quelled
BY MARIAN MCMAHON
Gazette Newspapers
LAKE COUNTY – The Lake
County Board of Commissioners
was asked about future plans for
senior centers in the county at its
Feb. 11 meeting.
“It’s my understanding that
you folks are going to close all the
senior centers except three, and
I want to know why,” said Jean
Brush of Painesville Township.
She stated the seniors have
been taxpayers, and many still are,
and they needed the senior centers
to socialize. She said closing most
of the senior centers would make it
difficult for seniors to get to centers
that are further away.
“The seniors next door to this
building have been asking for help
from this commission, and from the
Painesville City managers, with no
avail,” Brush said.
Commissioner Dan Troy asked
where she received her information
about senior centers being closed.

Lake County Crime
Lab examines prints
by BILL KEACH
Gazette Newspapers
PAINESVILLE TOWNSHIP – Bad guys better beware
Lake County. The Crime Laboratory, located at 235 Fairgrounds
Road, is home to a dedicated,
highly trained, group of scientists, criminalists and former
police officers. The Lab’s staff is
intent on helping law enforcement agencies convict the guilty
and exonerate the innocent.
The Lake County Crime Laboratory operates under the auspices of the office of Lake County
Prosecutor, Charles E. Coulson.
Founded in 1973, the Lab is
funded by a countywide tax levy.

Brush said she got her information from the report on seniors
which the commissioners had
ordered last year. She said it was
her understanding the people who
prepared the report felt it would be
best to have central locations for
the seniors to go.
County Administrator Jason
Boyd said the study was commissioned to provide a better understanding of the county’s senior
population and its needs. It looked
at various aspects such as where
seniors lived and the memberships
at the different senior centers.
“Then we looked at the fiscal
realities of the levy that generates
plus or minus $2.5 to $2.8 million
a year, and are we serving the seniors that, yes, go to the centers,
but (also) those that do not go to
the centers?” Boyd said.
He said the levy states the
money is for programs and services which serve the seniors in
the county.
Currently the money goes to
the Lake County Council on Aging,
RSVP and the 10 senior centers.
He noted the county has no control
over any of the senior centers and
added there were other agencies
and organizations which also provided senior services.
Boyd said part of the reason for
the study was to determine where
there might be gaps in services for
seniors and whether other senior
service providers were entitled
to levy proceeds. The question of
how to provide needed services to
seniors who do not go to the senior
centers was also addressed.
“You noted, a lot of them don’t
have transit or can’t afford transit, but in my mind, we shouldn’t
penalize them for not being able to
get out of their homes,” Boyd said.
There are graphs which show
where the senior centers are in
regards to the senior populations,
he said, but nowhere in the report
did it state senior centers should be

SENIOR CENTER................................................................................From Page 1
Urgent need for Meals on Wheels drivers
closed. Only general recommendations were made.
Another issue is, the levy
revenues from property taxes decreased as property values went down, and have not
increased in recent years.
However, the requests and
needs for senior levy funds
have increased.
“I’m really sorry that
you’re going through all this
stress, because nowhere in
that report does it say that
we’re closing everything
down,” said Judy Moran,
president of the Board of
Commissioners. “There is
a lot of misinformation out
there …”
There was some discussion about the Painesville
Area Senior Center whose
building was purchased by
Lake County last year. The
Center was given a year to
find a new facility. It was
noted it is the only senior
center which is not owned
and run by a community,
but is a separate nonprofit
organization.
Commissioner Kevin
Malecek said the senior
population is increasing and
the study was needed so the
county could be prepared to
meet the future needs of the
aging populace.
Troy said the commissioners are responsible for
how the senior levy money
is spent which is one reason
they had the study done.
When the needs grow, they
would ask for an increase in
the senior levy, as had been
done when the levy was at
0.4 mills and increased to 0.5
mills in recent years.
He asked people to verify
that information they hear
is actually true.
MENTOR - The Lake
County Council on Aging’s
Meals on Wheels program is
in critical need of volunteer
drivers to deliver meals in
the Mentor and Painesville/
Fairport areas as the need
for services continues to
climb. They are looking for
volunteers who can commit
to deliver a route at least one
day per week.
Every weekday, volunteer drivers deliver lunchtime meals to homebound
seniors between 10:30 a.m.
and noon. Last year, volunteers helped deliver about
150,000 meals to those older
residents in need, throughout Lake County.
“The demand for Meals
on Wheels service has been
increasing each year result-
The following is an excerpt from the report on
senior services commissioned by Lake County. The
complete report can be found on the Lake County
website at http://lakecountyohio.org/ then clicking
on My Community and then Senior Services.
C. Senior Centers
In 2009, innovation grants were given to senior center
providers in New York City to assist with visioning for the
future (The New York Academy of Medicine, 2010). The
underlying premises were that:
• Senior centers are a lynchpin of aging services.
• There is strong support for senior centers and they
should continue.
• Like many urban residents, older persons are often very
neighbor-focused and prefer to spend much of their time in
the immediate vicinity of their homes.
• Neighborhoods and people who live within them are
highly differentiated with a range of populations, needs,
and resources.
• Neighborhood centers can and should be the foundation of aging services.
• Resources are inadequate.
• In this constrained environment, it is most important to
build networks - linking to other centers and other resources.
• There is evidence of senior centers’ effectiveness in
meeting these needs.
They defined the core functions of senior centers as:
• Providing opportunities for social engagement;
• Linking to public services and benefits;
• Linking to community resources;
• Providing nutritional support; and
• Promoting health, mental health, and healthy behaviors.
Another senior center model, Senior Centers without
Walls, is operating in Oakland, California, and other communities. The program provides activities for homebound
seniors and/or their caregivers over the phone to address the
problem of social isolation. Opportunities for mental stimulation/ socialization were offered during 12 week sessions. Participants became friends and called outside scheduled times.
Volunteers provided home visits, shopping, meal preparation,
respite, information and referral, and arranged for transportation. They also provided reassurance over the phone. (http://

a fee for out of county police agencies.
Rebecca Silverstein is
a forensic analyst with
the Crime Lab. She has a
bachelor of science degree
in forensic biology from
Ohio Northern University.
In addition to being a
firearms examiner, Silverstein’s other area of
expertise is fingerprints.
Her daily routine begins
with the inventory and
analysis of between 30
and 40 sets of prints.
“The prints have been
taken by various law enforcement agencies the
previous night and day,”
Silverstein said. “They’re
sent to us to inventory and
to see if they match any
existing records.”
A computer search reveals a candidate list of possible matches.
“We’re looking for three
levels of detail with a reasonable degree of scientific
certainty,” Silverstein said.
“Those details are ridge flow,
individual characteristics
and sweat pores.”
In addition to examination of prints gathered by
law enforcement agencies,
the Lake County Crime
Lab also collects fingerprint
evidence at crime scenes.
This is an added benefit to
departments as the majority of crime labs do not collect evidence, they merely
analyze what’s been sent
to them. The Lake County
Lab, in contrast, has a team
of forensic experts who are
on-call 24 hours a day, seven
days a week.
“We look for latent
prints, that is, invisible
prints,” Silverstein said.
“We do this by dusting to
expose the prints. We don’t
dust the entire scene. We
use common sense. We look
at disturbed areas or other
places likely to have been
touched.”
Silverstein said criminals will go to great lengths
to hide their prints, some
being more practical than
others.
“Obviously, they wear
gloves. Some have their
fingerprints filed down.
One character had the
tips of his fingers sewn to
his sides. He was trying to
graft the skin on his body
onto his fingers.”
ing in this current critical
need for volunteer drivers,”
said Joe Tomsick, chief executive officer of the Lake
County Council on Aging.
“The success of the program
relies solely on the number
of volunteer drivers we have
to provide this much-needed
service for our aging population.”
The home-delivered meal
program is a great opportunity to volunteer as an
individual or duo, with a
family member or a friend,
and meet new people within
the community. Delivering meals also allows for
local businesses, community groups and churches to
adopt a route and schedule
group members to deliver on
that day each week.
Willoughby man arrested
on burglary charges
WILLOUGHBY - On
Feb. 13, with the assistance
of Wickliffe Police, Willoughby Police apprehended Robert T. Leach, a 19-year-old
Willoughby resident who
was suspected of breaking
into vehicles and a burglary
on the morning of Feb. 13.
On Feb. 13, at approximately 2:15 a.m., a resident
on the 5200 block of Oakridge
Dr. called 911 to report that
an unknown male had attempted to break into her
house. The resident reported
the male was standing on
her back patio looking into
the window of her house.
The male was described as
being short in stature, wearing a dark jacket, a striped
scarf, and a mask. The male
ran from the patio when the
resident yelled at him.
Willoughby officers arrived on scene and followed
boot prints in the snow
through Oakridge Drive,
Hickory Lane and the Franklyn Commons property. The
boot prints led to numerous
vehicles parked in driveways
on Oakridge Drive and in
Franklyn Commons as if the
subject was looking into the
vehicles.
A Wickliffe officer, who
responded to the area to
assist, was stopped by a
snow plow driver who had
observed a male dressed in
dark clothing running near
the Concord Estates Mobile
homes on Euclid Avenue.
Wickliffe and Willoughby
officers located the male
who was later identified as
Robert Leach.
Leach told officers he
was out looking for his lost
puppy.
Robert T. Leach, 19-yearold Willoughby resident
Earlier, while officers
were following the boot
prints, a Willoughby officer
located an open man door
to an attached garage on
the 5200 block of Franklyn
Commons. The boot prints
led into the closed garage,
leading officers to believe
the subject had gained entry
into the garage. Evidence
located at the scenes led officers to believe Leach was
responsible for the burglary
and the earlier trespass on
the caller’s back patio.
Leach was suspected of
several other thefts from
vehicle complaints that
had been reported in the
Oakridge Drive and Franklyn Commons areas on Feb.
9.
Willoughby officers located stolen property at Leach’s
residence from at least one
previous theft from a vehicle
incident.
Leach was later charged
with Burglary F2, Possession of Criminal Tools F5,
Trespass M4, and Receiving
Stolen Property M1.
If anyone has any information that would assist in
the investigation, contact
the Willoughby Police Detective Bureau at (440) 9534210; reference 16-04306.
An important benefit of
this home delivery program
is the opportunity for social
interaction between the
volunteers and the meal
recipients. Social isolation
is a significant concern for
seniors living on their own.
The daily visits by Meals on
Wheels volunteers includes
not just a meal but a chance
for a friendly smile, a little
upbeat conversation and a
face- to-face visit that serves
as a “wellness check.”
The commitment can be
for as little as one or two
days per month and depending on the route, takes about
90 minutes to complete. Call

on Aging at (440) 205-8111,

“We would need a site plan.”
The board agreed that a

The measure will require
a formal rezoning application to the commission,
followed by a vote of City
Council to place it on the

The city charter dictates
that legislation providing
for a zoning change from
any conservation district

industrial or commercial
classification requires voter
referendum approval.

My name is Belle, and I am unique in that I am polydactyl
and have more toes than a normal kitty - which helps
me catch that thingy-on-a-stick during playtime! One of
my favorite pastimes is being petted, at which time my
purring motor will go into full gear to let you know how
relaxed and happy I am. I came to the shelter because
my previous owner could no longer take care of me,
and I now need to find my furever home where I will
receive a lot of love and attention. So if you are looking
for a sweet, affectionate, playful companion, just ask for
Belle. Please come see me at Petco!

Madison Village residents say ‘No’
to eliminating police department
BY MARIAN MCMAHON
Gazette Newspapers
MADISON VILLAGE
– Residents speaking out at
the Feb. 16 council meeting
all had the same thing to
say about a proposal to shut
down the Madison Village
Police Department, “No!”
More than 100 residents
packed a meeting room at
the Lakeland Community
College Madison Campus on
Water Tower Dr. The turnout was in response to an
open letter to residents from
Mayor Sam Britton, released
Feb. 12, which explained
why he believed closing
the Madison Village Police
Department was necessary.
“Currently, just over 31
percent of the general fund
- $370,784 – is spent on
the Police Department,”
Britton stated in the letter. “A few years ago you
narrowly passed a police
levy. That levy generates
approximately $234,749 annually and brings the Police
Department’s total budget to
$656,100 (2015).”
The Police Department
has three full-time officers
and the remaining shifts are
filled with part-time officers.
Britton stated there should
be six full-time officers, but
that would cost the department $836,000 per year and
Village income has been flat
for years. Cuts in Local Government Fund allocations in
past years have also hurt.
According to Britton,
Madison Township Police
would provide a patrol officer
24/7, and detectives’ services, at a cost of $575,000
annually. A police substation would be in the Village.
Prior to the public portion
of the meeting, Councilmember John Hamercheck stated
Council had been told to “be
patient” by the previous
fiscal officer for years when
asked about the Village paying taxes on property which
it owned and should be tax
exempt.
“… and then come to find
out our current fiscal officer
is the only one that actually
did file (for) the exemption,”
he said.
Hamercheck stated, to
date, the Village had paid
nearly $100,000 in real estate taxes on those parcels,
which he believed were not
owed. Since that information
was not included in the minutes he wanted the residents
present to be aware of that
fact. He asked that the minutes be amended to include
that information.
Prior to the public portion, Law Director Joe Szeman stated, due to the large
number of attendees, they
would need to strictly adhere to a five-minute limit
per person and, due to the
time constraint, they would
not be answering questions
raised that evening as they
normally would.
“This is the start of a
lengthy process, and to dispel one rumor, no, a decision
has not been made,” Szeman said. “Only Council can
make a decision relative to
the police issue.”
He stated, emphatically, that Police Chief Dawn
Shannon was not involved
in the discussion about shutting down the police department. That was done
to avoid putting her in an
awkward position, so anger
should not be directed at her,
Szeman said.
Linda Whipple of Safford
Street stated, although she
appreciated the mayor’s
statement, she did not like
how it was delivered – on the
television news.
“I understand this is a
first reading, but somehow
it should have gotten out
there that this was being
discussed,” she said.
Matt Gasber of West
Main Street stated it “all
came down to money.” He
raised the issue of the Village paying $189,000 to the
Madison Fire District for
improvements the District
made to the Fire Station
the Village owned. He felt it
was not owed. He expressed
concern about what the
Township might charge for
police services in the future.
Craig Winkleman of Oak
Hollow said Councilmember
Ken Takacs stated in an
interview that discussions
about the Police Department
had been going on since
last year. He alleged there
had not been good faith on
the part of the Village in
negotiations on the police
contract.
Richard Fike of South
Lake Street, and owner of
Madison Combined Martial
Arts, said he felt “betrayed”
since no one talked to any of
the business owners about
eliminating the Village Police Department, which had
been doing a good job.
He raised the issue that
the Township is governed
by state regulations while
the Village has its own and
questioned whether Village
regulations would, or could,
be enforced. Fike also stated
they would lose the Mayor’s
Court.
“I’m wondering how much
thought and pre-planning
has gone into this,” said Jack
Lading of West Main Street,
a regular attendee at council
meetings.
He questioned what police coverage would be like
without Village Police and
what response times would
be.
“In my opinion, anybody
who’s in favor of disbanding
the Village Police Department has something in common with a Hoover vac,”
Lading said.
One resident asked if the
plans for converting the old
fire station included incorporating the Police Department and jail.
Laura Haynes of West
Main Street expressed concern about response times
for her elderly mother since
Village Police were generally
the first to respond when
needed. As the Madison
Safety Town director, she
was also concerned the program would not be able to
continue since support came
from the Madison Village
Police Department, not the
Township Police.
A number of residents
stated they wanted to keep
a village police department
because the officers know
the neighborhoods and the
residents and made them
feel safe.
Several residents questioned the amount of savings
the mayor’s letter stated
would result from using the
Madison Township Police.
One stated the Village
would have no leverage in
negotiations with the Township. He questioned how
the Village would receive
adequate coverage when
the Township only had two
officers on patrol per shift for
the state’s largest township.
Another noted the Township pays its officers more
so the figures did not add
up for him.
Still another resident
expressed concern that the
officer posted in the Village would get called away
to assist with calls in the
Township.
“Did any of you people
hear about this in November?” Tom Austin, executive
director of the Ohio Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association, asked the crowd, which
responded, “No.”
He stated the issue of
shutting down the Village
Police Department had to do
with collective bargaining.
“You want them to beg
and they won’t beg, and now
you’re going to get rid of
them,” Austin said. “I really
wish you’d think about this
and do the right thing.”
He added that, under
Ohio law, Township authors
were not authorized to go
onto Interstate 90.
Other opinions expressed
were: businesses would not
want to come to the Village
without a police department;
property values would go
down; once gone the department could not be restored;
and crime would go up with
less police presence.
Some residents shared
stories of how well the Village Police responded when
needed.
“I wanted to remind
Council of something—
(these) are the people that
elected you,” said Tod Baker
of Parkway Boulevard. “You
were elected by the people,
for the people, to be the voice
of the people—not to be a
dictatorship.”
He asked what happened
to the police levy money and
how much would the Village
be giving up in equipment.
Tony Bruno of W est
Parkway said the residents
passed the police levy for
the Village Police, not the
Township.
“If you guys do something
like that, there’s going to
be a big stink, maybe some
more lawsuits, recall, repeal,
whatever you’ve got to do
and there’s going to be more
embarrassment in the papers,” Bruno said.
Residents continued, for
more than an hour, to speak
in support of, and in praise
of, the officers and chief,
and to speak out against
disbanding the department.
New regulations come with pollutant discharge permit renewal
BY MARIAN MCMAHON
Gazette Newspapers
LAKE COUNTY – Dan
Donaldson, district administrator for Lake County
Soil and Water Conservation District, advised the
Lake County Board of Commissioners there were new
regulations coming along
with the renewal of the
county’s National Pollutant
Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit.
“I’m working on an erosion and sediment control
update for the county’s regulations…” he said at the Feb.
11 commissioners meeting.
Most of the required
changes are to about 28
definitions.
One change is that currently LCSWCD requires
contractors to develop a plan
for the site they will develop,
but there was no implementation plan needed. Other
changes concern the size and
construction of sediment and
stormwater retention ponds,
and handling of contaminated soils.
A lot of the changes are
to clarify when certain best
practices are required.
He stated it was also
determined notifications to
contractors by regular U.S.
mail service was acceptable
and certified mail was no
longer required.

between 2014’s carryover
sites and 2015’s new sites,
we’re dealing with about 270

He noted the commissioners will need to adopt
the new regulations when
they are completed. The
local communities served
by LCSWCD through the
Lake County Stormwater
Management Department
will also need to adopt them.
The remainder of the communities will also be asked
to adopt them for the sake
of uniformity in the county.
Donaldson noted the
county GIS system was a
great assistance in checking
out the locations of sites and
planning inspection routes.
The local building departments were also trying to
work together more and
share information to make
the processes more efficient.
During further discussion, it was noted compliance

public assistance.
Each county must designate whether the local Job

Board will take the lead and
receive the funding designated for program.
Battiato said there were
still questions about the
program which needed to be
answered. Once he had all
the information, he would
offer the commissioners his
recommendation on who
should oversee the program.
PUBLIC COMMENT
• A public hearing was
held on the request for vacation of October Lane in
Madison Township.
Ken Gauntner, chair
of the Madison Township
Board of Trustees stated the
Board was in favor of vacating the portion of October
Lane as requested.
“October Lane was dedicated and platted back in
1929,” he said. “It was never
totally paved. The portion
we’re talking about vacating
is the unpaved portion of
October Lane, which really
looks like it runs through
somebody’s side yard. Unfortunately people have
been driving through that
recently.”
Gauntner stated people
had started driving down
that unpaved portion, which
is all grass-covered, last
summer when water and
sewer lines were being replaced in the summer of
2015.
Greg Morrison of Wood
Road in Madison Township asked about emergency
vehicles getting through,
noting his mother lived on
the street.
Gauntner said the Madison Fire District has said
getting emergency vehicles
down the street was not a
problem.
The commissioners took
the comments under advisement for making a decision.
EXECUTIVE SESSION
• The commissioners adjourned to executive session
to discuss personnel - interviews (2) and collective
bargaining.
MEETINGS
• Meetings are held in
the Commissioners’ Chambers of the Lake County
Administration Building,
105 Main St., Painesville.
All meetings are open to the
public. Requests to address
the government board may

Auburn students donate toys to
Rainbow Babies & Children’s Hospital
CONCORD TOWNSHIP - Auburn Career
Center’s Mary Eschenauer
and Ashley Beesler, both
of Madison, and Samantha Hargis of Berkshire,
recently hosted a toy drive
for children at University
Hospitals Rainbow Babies
& Children’s Hospital.
All three students are
juniors in Auburn’s allied
health program and chose
this as a community service project for SkillsUSA.
The community service
competition evaluates local chapter activities that
benefit the community.
SkillsUSA is a national
nonprofit organization
that is a partnership of
students, teachers and
industry working together
to ensure America has a
skilled workforce.
In addition to Auburn,
Madison High School also
participated in the toy
drive. Between the two
schools, they collected 646
toys. Eschenauer and Beesler dropped the toys off
at Rainbow Babies & Children’s Hospital.
“We had about six carts
of toys. The coordinating was harder than we
thought, but it was a really
good thing to do. It felt
really good,” Eschenauer
said.
Toys were collected for
two purposes; parents with
children in the hospital
were able to shop (at no
charge) for their child for
Christmas and for diversional activities for patients.
Leftover toys are being
used for children with extended hospital stays and
for children who are in
the hospital during their
birthday. “I am very proud of how
hard these young ladies
worked on this project for
other kids in need,” said
Sue Lefler, allied health
instructor. “Their passion
for this project was infectious and you can tell by

Week Jan. 25 to 29. Special
activities during the week
were designed to raise public
awareness of the different
education options available
to help all children learn.
Traditional public
schools, charter schools,
magnet schools, on-line
learning, private schools,
or home schooling are all
choices. Summit Academy
is a nonprofit, tuition free,
public school with grades
kindergarten through eight.
The curriculum and teaching style specifically help
alternative learners, kids
with ADHD and autism
spectrum disorders achieve
their goals. The environ-
ment is meant to be safe and
nurturing.
“My daughter gets lots
of attention here,” Pennington said. “She has many
friends in the second grade
and comes to school greeted
with hugs. It’s a good choice
for us.”
Seventh-grader Jack Cattini brought his dad, Dave,
and grandpa, Joe Cattini, to
the event.
Dave said Jack was not
thriving in public school.
“He was getting lost
there. With the small class
size, he gets lots of teacher
attention,” Dave Cattini
said.
Grandpa Joe Cattini
proudly said his grandson
had perfect attendance since
fourth grade.
“I like math the best,”
Jack said.
Faculty at Summit Academy planned several events
that provided time at school
for parents throughout the
week. Moms were honored at
a breakfast too, “Muffins for

Moms.” The school hallways
were decorated with essays
by students and teachers
proud to be at Summit.
One student wrote that his
teachers “really wanted him
to learn.” Teacher essays
praised student achievements and behavior.
“We had a good turnout
for the week’s events,” said
Principal Frank Cheraso
who greeted almost 60 students and dads in the school
cafeteria that morning.
It was early: 7:45 a.m.,
but dads were happy to sip
coffee and talk.
Jeff McCabe enrolled
both his son and daughter.
“We love Summit,” he
said. “My son graduated
and is on to high school. At
Summit, he was already
used to having different
teachers for each subject.
The small classes give kids
more teacher attention.”
Louis Hernandez said
his third-grade son, Dominic, has done much better
at Summit than at a larger
school.
“Karate is his favorite
subject; he’s wild with it,”
Hernandez said.
The curriculum emphasizes hands-on learning,
student-centered lessons,
and technology as a learning tool.
The Painesville Community School is one of 13
Summit Academy schools in
Ohio. Each has a curriculum
fully aligned with state of
Ohio learning standards.
Teachers and staff are highly qualified and certified.
The school is located
at 268 North State St. in
Painesville.

Annual Synchronized

The Cygnets will take their audience around the globe
as they travel from sea to sea performing to hits depicting the culture and heritage of 12 countries.
“We are excited to see the team’s performances this
year! The team has almost doubled in size with 11 new
swimmers who are quickly learning how to combine
dancing and gymnastics in the water for their routines.
With no seniors on the team this year, we are looking
forward to a team of 30 next year as the Synchronized
Swimming Introduction class, Stars, joins the team.
Together, they support each other as they learn new
skills, develop friendships and rely on each other as they
prepare all year for the annual show,” said Amy Basco,
Lake County YMCA Central aquatic director. “Locally,
synchronized swimming is unique to the Lake County
Y. The veteran team members have two to nine years
of experience and enthusiasm for the sport.
“To continue to spark their imagination for future
shows, one special routine this year will feature four
former Cygnets, including a U.S. Olympic team member.
We can’t wait to see what the team will accomplish in
the future after this year’s show.”
Performances will be held Saturday, March 19 at 2
and 7 p.m., and on Sunday, March 20 at 2 p.m. Concessions will be open to guests during the show.
Tickets are $3 in advance (Feb. 15 until March 12)

Tobacco use will cost employees more for health insurance
BY MARIAN MCMAHON
Gazette Newspapers
PERRY VILLAGE
– Council had extended
discussion on three pieces
of legislation concerning
policies and procedures for
personnel who used tobacco
products at the Feb. 11 council meeting.
First reading was held
on an ordinance enacting
Section 3.03.1 of the personnel policies and procedures
manual for the Village, establishing a policy regarding
tobacco by Village personnel
and their hospitalization
coverage and declaring an
emergency.
Street Commissioner/
Road Supervisor Charlie
Mace asked when the legislation was changed to read
tobacco rather than cigarettes.
“It started out with the
mention of smoking, and
then the research I did with
regard to insurance coverage; the definition that’s in
the ordinance is the definition I got from a combination
of our insurance carrier and
online insurance coverage
language,” the solicitor, Jim
Loiacono, said.
Mace said when the topic
was first discussed, only
smoking was mentioned and
employees were told they
had a year to stop.
Loiacono said they needed to craft the legislation to
conform with the insurance
carrier’s requirements because use of tobacco products
greatly increases the cost of
premiums for those employees who indulge.

Excluding electric generation
equipment from taxation would be costly
BY MARIAN MCMAHON
Gazette Newspapers
NORTH PERRY – During his Fire Board report,
Councilmember Larry Klco
stated the Perry Joint Fire
District’s finances looked
good for the current year,
however, Fire Chief Jim
McDonald had expressed a
serious concern.
“They are trying to change
taxation to exclude the electric generation equipment
of the Perry Nuclear Power
Plant,” Klco said. “If that
happens, that will be a loss
of $7 million a year to Lake
County.”
He added the Village,
Fire District and school
finances would also take a
big hit.
In other business:
• Kathleen Smith reported the Perry Area Joint Recreation Board chose Mark
Welch as chairman, Rick
Amos as vice chair, herself
as treasurer and Michele
Woltman as clerk.
The Perry Senior Center
will partner with the Perry
Public Library for some programs this year. Senior Center membership increased
by nearly 10 percent to 547.
Information on programming can be found on the
website at www.perryrec.
com or Facebook at www.
facebook.com/PerryRec .
“Revenues for sports
youth have decreased this
year so the director has
sent letters to businesses
in the past couple of years;
he’s done donation requests
either by e-mail or word
of mouth and he thought
maybe a formal letter would
help increase the revenues,”
Smith said.
The director also wishes
to create a Parent Advisory
Board.
The next Rec Board meeting will be March 14.
• Mayor Ed Klco stated
the Village did not have a
set policy for groups that
wished to use Village Hall
for meetings. In the past
he has opened the hall and
worked up in his office while
nonprofits met.
Solicitor Joe Gurley advised the Village contact
its insurance carrier to ask
about coverage for such
meetings.
The mayor reminded
Council they must fill out a
form if they will be out of the
area for three or more days.
He said he did not need to
know where they were going,
only if they were gone in case
an emergency meeting is
called or if they are required
for some other reason.
• Police Chief Ron Radovanic advised the Lake
County Sheriff’s Office will
no longer accept part-time
officers for participation in
the Northern Border Initiative, which is a marine patrol on the lake. He believes
participation is important
and will discuss a new officer for the position with
the mayor. There is no cost
to the village for the officer’s
time with the patrol.
• Road Commissioner
Steve Sabol reported they
are still working on putting the audio of the council
meetings on the website due
to the size of the files.
• Councilmember Larry
Reichard initiated discus-
sion about the Farmland
Preservation Program.
It was determined that
there could have been a
misunderstanding because
Council did not budget any
funds for the program this
year.
Councilmember Mike
Cutler said he had spoken
with Maurine Orndorff at
Lake County Soil and Water
Preservation District. She
said she would not process
any paperwork if no money
was budgeted.
Councilmember Larry
Klco stated that did not
mean the Village would not
fund any requests since it
was a 12-month process and
they could include the money
in the 2017 budget.
It was determined Orndorff would be contacted
regarding the issue.
• Council untabled and
passed the following ordinances: amending section
1101.02(125) concerning
tourist homes; amending
section 1106.03 concerning rentals; and amending
section 1106.02 concerning
rental of the park house.
• Second readings were
held on the following tabled
resolutions: to merge, survey and appraise no longer
needed real estate and authorizing sale by competitive
bid of real estate.
• Council passed, on third
reading, a resolution to expend no more than $150,000
for the 2016 Harbor Dredging and Maintenance Program.
• Second readings were
held on the following resolutions: an agreement with
Lake County Commissioners for central dispatch and
communication services;
approving permanent appropriations for 2016; and
for Joseph Gurley as village
solicitor and prosecutor.
• Council passed, on third
reading, a resolution authorizing the mayor to enter
into an agreement with Economic Development Data
Services, Inc. in an amount
not to exceed $5,000 to provide consulting services for
the village.
• The mayor appointed
Sarah Tackett to the Planning Commission.
• First reading was held
on an ordinance to create
an Economic Development
Fund and a resolution to
transfer $34,000 from the
General Fund into the Economic Development Fund.
• First reading was held
on a resolution to make a
$10,000 contribution to the
Perry Area Joint Recreation
District with $5,000 for the
youth program and $5,000
for the Senior Center.
• Council decided to have
further discussion at a work
session on a motion for a
$10 fee for upgrades to park
passes.
• Council passed a motion to increase the videographer’s fee from $80 to $100
per meeting. It was noted
the rate had been the same
for five years.
readings and passed an
ordinance approving recodification, editing and inclusion to the village’s codified
ordinances.
• Council adjourned to an
executive session to discuss
possible litigation and employee raises.
Madison Township Police Department has busy month
BY MARIAN MCMAHON
Gazette Newspapers
MADISON TOWNSHIP
– Police Chief Matt Byers
had an extensive report for
the Board of Trustees Feb. 9
meeting with calls, personnel changes and more.
Officers Elizabeth Rousch
and Matthew Gosnik were
sworn in as sergeants.
Byers said there has already been a change in work
assignments with the addition of the two sergeants.
During the month of
January, the chief reported
on the calls and incident reports for January. (Complete
report is on Lake County
Tribune Record Page.)
The chief advised the
trustees he had been appointed to the Lake County
Narcotics Agency Executive
Board. The board consists
of one Lake County commissioner, the Lake County
prosecutor, one city manag-
er, and four chiefs of police.
“Chief, that is really wonderful,” Trustee Chair Ken
Gauntner said. “I had a lot
of involvement with the
Narcotics Board as county
administrator, and I know
they just don’t put anybody
on that Board from a police
agency, so that is really well
for you.”
Byers said the other
chiefs are from the west end
of the county, so he thought
it would be a good idea to
volunteer and have someone
from the east end.
The chief said Officer
Sean McClure was presented with a Lifesaving Award
at the recent Lake County
Association of Chiefs of Police meeting.
McClure had responded
to a call about a man down
at a business and began CPR
on the man who was not
breathing.
Byers thanked Officer
Jeff Ackerman, who just
retired, for his two decades
of service with the Township
Police.
The trustees passed a
resolution entering into an
agreement with the Lake
County Traffic Crash Reconstruction Unit to become
a participating agency in
the unit.
The unit shares manpower and equipment when having to reconstruct crashes to
determine causes.
A resolution was also
passed to hire Michael Miller as a full-time patrolman
at the rate of $21.15 per
hour with benefits upon
successful completion of all
applicable testing and serving a one-year probationary
period.
Gauntner noted a collective bargaining agreement
was recently approved covering the patrol officers,
sergeants and detectives for
the next three years.
In other business:
• During the workshop
preceding the meeting,
Trustee Pete Wayman stated he and administrator
Lee Bodnar had recently
met with Lake Metroparks
personnel, including Executive Director Paul Palagyi,
Deputy Director Vince Urbanski and Park Commissioner Frank Polivka.
“We discussed Madison
parks, in particular the Dock
Road situation down there,
and out of our talks it seems
very likely that they will
handle the maintenance on
that piece,” Wayman said.
• Solicitor Gary Pasqualone reported the property
with the vacant gas station
on Hubbard and Chapel
roads is scheduled for Sheriff’s Sale March 14. The
property was appraised at
$72,000 setting the starting
bid at $48,000.
It was believed removal
of the gas tanks would cost
about $10,000 if they are not
leaking.
Gauntner said the last
time the tanks were checked
in 2014 there was no change
in the levels from the previous inspection.
• A resolution was passed
accepting funds from Public
Entity Risk Services of Ohio,
Inc., (PERSO) for the total
loss settlement of a 2014
Dodge Charger police vehicle
in the amount of $25,234.69.
• An additional $121 was
approved for expenses for the
new IT room.
• Zoning inspector Christopher Bernard reported he
had issued five permits for
a total construction cost of
$825,885, generating fees
of $795.
The Zoning Commission
has been reviewing zoning
texts during the past four
months and presented recommendations to the Planning Commission, which has
made its recommendations.
A public hearing on the
changes was set for Feb. 23
at 6:30 p.m.
• Trustees accepted the
resignation of Michael Foley
from the Madison Township
Zoning Commission since he
is moving from the Township. Jeffrey S. Hyrne was
appointed to take his place.
• Administrator Lee R.
Bodnar said he would ask
Pasqualone for assistance
in determining how to take
the former Fire Station 3
property of 1.54 acres on
Ross Road to public sale.
“The assessed value is
at $50,000 and that would
be the minimum we could
accept,” Bodnar said.
• The trustees adjourned
to executive session to discuss Madison Township
Police non-bargaining personnel compensation.
• The next regular trustees meeting will be at 7 p.m.
Tuesday, Feb. 23.
OhioCheckbook offers a number of advantages for entities
BY MARIAN MCMAHON
Gazette Newspapers
FAIRPORT HARBOR
– Ohio State Treasurer Josh
Mandel introduced the state
to OhioCheckbook.com in
December 2014 with the
placement of state expenditures online. The new
website took Ohio from 46th
place in government spending transparency to number
one.
“I believe taxpayers have
a right to know how their tax
money is being spent, and
I’m doing this to empower
the people to hold politicians
and bureaucrats accountable,” Mandel had said.
“I subscribe to the notion
that sunlight is the greatest
disinfectant to government
waste.”
After getting the state’s
spending online, Mandel invited counties, communities
and schools to follow suit by
posting their checkbooks on
the site as well so they would
not need to design their site.
Seth Unger, senior policy
advisor for public affairs in
Mandel’s office, held a press
conference at Fairport Harbor School Superintendent
Domenic Paolo’s office Feb. 3
to announce Fairport Harbor
Schools and the Perry Public
Library going live with their
information on OhioCheckbook.com.
He was joined by Paolo,
Perry and Fairport schools
treasurer Lewis Galante,
Perry Schools Finance
Department Officer Judy
Church and Fairport School
Board President Mary Javins.
Fairport is the fourth
Lake County school district
to post its spending on OhioCheckbook.com.
Perry Public Library is
the first library in the county
to post on OhioCheckbook.
com. Mentor was the first
school district. There are
some other Lake County
entities which are online
as well.
In reviewing the features
of OhioCheckbook.com, Unger said Mandel wanted to
be sure the site was user
friendly for people of all skill
levels.
It has a search bar so
people can look up information on different government departments or
entities which have their
information on the site. The
charts are interactive, so
with a simple click, people
can get more information
such as how much is spent
on salaries, hospitalization
or office supplies. There is
even a compare button so
two departments can be
compared.
The program for the site
can work with every accounting system, with some
exceptions. If a community
has a system which is not
compatible, the State Treasurer’s Office can provide
personnel to help figure out
how to transfer information
to the site.
“The basic goal and the
basic message to this is that
it’s really empowering for
the taxpayers to follow their
money …” Unger said. “The
public expects that information’s going to be available
online, at their fingertips.”
According to Galante and
Church, who had previously
put the Perry Local Schools’
information on OhioCheckbook.com, the process is
quite simple.
“Our concern was that a
lot of our data, with requisi-
tions and checks, had student names on it,” Galante
said.
For that reason, rather
than go back to redact that
information, they just began
with this year.
Javins said the site and
available information were
much more detailed than she
had ever expected.
Besides showing everyone the checks being written
by different entities, the site
is able to present the spending and revenue information
in different ways which are
beneficial to administrators
and officials.

FAIRPORT HARBOR

newfound growth for the

Tartan and Legacy

bring significant experience

further develop both brands.
Vic Peroni has assumed
the overall management of

goes for businesses that

they can use the website to

Asked how long it took to
put the Perry Schools’ information online, Church said
it only took a couple hours
to prepare for the initial
interface, mostly because of
what needed to be redacted.
Monthly updates only take a
short amount of time.
“I’d say that it takes no
more than 10 minutes to pull

Another benefit of OhioCheckbook.com is that administrators can look at
what other communities or
school districts are spending in certain areas and
compare that to their own

Having so much financial information online allows more people view the

the possibility of financial
mismanagement or illegal

In between the stripes:
More gray area then
black and white
By Angelo Velotta
Gazette Newspapers
MENTOR - Did the shot go in, in time? Was that a
foul? Was he out of bounds? Down by contact? Was that
too aggressive of a play? Did you see they pulled a jersey?
Was that an illegal move? How much time is left? All of
these questions and more need to be answered and in a
split second every game and contest refereed by officials.
When I was at college I tried my hand as an intramural
basketball referee. And that is when I found a newfound
respect for the guys in the stripes. Being asked every time
I had to make a judgment call “Was that right?” by the opposing team unhappy with my call.
And this was just intramural sports. And I’m sure I
made some wrong calls, but never intentionally. Just as
the officials out there refereeing games and contests don’t
try to make the wrong call.
But when you step out there on the hardwood floor or
the gridiron or the wrestling mats or the soccer fields or
the baseball and softball diamonds you realize how easy it
is to get swept up in everything.
On any given play so much is happening and so quickly.
That’s when the game is running slow. How about on a fast
break, a loose ball, a contested goalie area?
A little harder!
Plus, we want to show our kids that lessons we teach
them about respecting referees is not just for good small
talk. If the players should, and they should, respect the
referee, so should the coaches, assistants, and fans.
Dominic Flaviani, who has been refereeing for 23 years,
and played, coached, and has now refereed sports, said “Better sportsmanship,” as something that should be shown by
all onlookers of the game.
“It starts with coaching. Kids will act like the coaches
do,” he said.
Fans are very seldom happy with the officiating. Sometimes it is warranted. A bad call or a series of bad calls
happens to take place during a game. But these are unintentional mistakes made by humans, just like you and I.
Other times the griping is just that-griping. Of course
no team wants to be penalized, wants a different call and
at a different time, but when you jump out there and where
those black and white stripes there is a lot more gray area.
“Understanding the rules,” Keith Moyer, who has refereed for 13 years, and started by refereeing college intramurals on a high level, said was something everyone can
benefit from to better understand the game.
“You’ve got to have thick skin,” Moyer also added to be
a good referee.
“What you make of it,” Flaviani added.
“You have to be very patient, and have a good backbone,”
Flaviani added.
Tony Spano, who has been refereeing for 11 years and
got into it because his job has winters off,
also echoed these statements.
And it is also much easier to see
the action develop more clearly from
the outside. Maybe all sports should
have sideline referees, or a referee
stepped far enough away
from the middle of it all.
Calls will go missed.
Calls will go uncorrected. It is an unfortunate part of sports. This
doesn’t mean you have to
agree with a bad call. But just
as in life it is more important how
you handle adversity.
Do you yell and scream? Or do you
try to make it up for it with what you can control with
your team’s play? Or maybe politely asking the referee for
a clearer ruling?
Lastly, let’s just remember referees are like a fresh baked
roll for a sandwich. What’s in the sandwich might be the
exciting part, but the roll holds it altogether.

CONNEAUT -Ashtabula
County rivals Conneaut and
Geneva faced off Saturday
night, Feb. 13 in back-toback contests for each team.
In a competitive game,
the teams battled evenly
for three quarters until the
Eagles were able to pull
ahead in the final minutes
to triumph 54-47.
“It wasn’t pretty. We’ve
struggled all year in handling adversity, we’re learning how to battle through
things,” Geneva coach Brad
Ellis said.
Geneva began with a 8-1
lead until Justin Myers hit
a basket, 8-3 and an Alex
Gerdes steal and hoop at the
buzzer made it 10-7, Geneva
after one.
The teams traded baskets
and went into halftime tied
at 20.
“We wanted to deny Myers as much as possible. He
is the type of player to get
hot early and stay that way
and we didn’t want that to
happen,” Ellis said.
Point guard Felix Rivera
defended Myers until Rivera
picked up his third foul and
had to sit.
“Rivera is our catalyst
and losing him was big. We
weren’t as efficient without
him.But we handled that
adversity well and that is a
big step for us,” Ellis added.
A sloppy, low scoring
third period ended with
Marcus Barrickman beating
the buzzer to cut the gap to
28-26 Geneva after three.
Conneaut knotted the
contest at thirty on a basket
by Austin Dale, beginning
the fourth quarter. But Seth
Calhoun answered immediately for the Eagles, 32-30
and the visitors flew off on
a 8-3 run to increase their
lead to 40-33.
A three point play by Alex
Gerdes cut the deficit to 4036 at 3:50. Marcus Barrickman added two freebies at
3:19 to further trim the gap
to 40-38.
Baskets by Kyle Robertson and Kevin Allen increased the Eagle advantage
to 45-40. Three free throws
by Calhoun made it 48-40. A
basket by Gerdes narrowed
the gap to 48-43 but the
teams traded baskets in the
final minute until the buzzer
sounded for Geneva, 54-47.
“The start of the second

half was the key to the ball
game for me. We worked
hard to get back into the
game after a slow start and
then allowed them to score
the first seven points of the
second half. It took a lot
out of us, I think,” Spartan
Coach Tim Tallbacka said.
“We kept battling but we
just couldn’t get over the
hump in the second half,”
Tallbacka added.
Calhoun scored 16 to lead
his Eagles. Rivera added 11
and Travon Miller tallied ten
with his inside game. Nick
Stoltz had seven, Kevin Al-
len six and Kyle Robertson
for to wrap-up the Eagle
offense.
Erik Heinonen and Alex
Gerdes paced the Spartans
with14 each. Justin Myers
added twelve. Marcus Barrickman scored eight and
Austin Dale added two.
Geneva moves to 4-18,
Conneaut is 5-15.
In the JV contest, the
Eagles held on to take a
narrow 48-44 win. Grant Mihalick and Kyle Stark tallied
fourteen each for Geneva.
TJ Bertolasio had nine for
Conneaut.

YMCA Youth Soccer League Builds Athletic, Social and Interpersonal Skills
PERRY – The Y is the
starting point for many kids
to learn about becoming and
staying active, as well as
developing healthy habits
they will carry with them
throughout their lives. Lake
County YMCA Youth Soccer League not only helps
children gain confidence by
learning to pass or kick,
but it builds positive relationships that lead to good
sportsmanship and teamwork.
“The coaches/parents and
referees/teens that volunteer to lead these children
on the field are incredible.
Not only do they teach the
basics of soccer, but also they
inspire. We have seen shy
children become confident
and outgoing players,” said
Michele Kuester, executive
director at the Lake County
Y Outdoor Family Center.
Children ages 4-5 can
discover their personal best,
have fun and be part of a
team on the field during the
preschool soccer league. As
young athletes, our coaches
encourage more skill development though games that
teach techniques and build
confidence. These new improvements to the preschool
program also create more opportunity for game exposure.
Soccer at the Y is family
friendly because of flexible
scheduling, and all games
and practices are on Saturdays at the Outdoor Y, 4540
River Road in Perry.
Spring Youth Soccer
League registration deadline is Saturday, March

Master Gardeners to
hold annual workshop
LAKE COUNTY - With the success last year of their annual Workshop, Lake County Master Gardeners are excited to
announce its 2016 Home Gardeners’ Workshop, “Nurturing
Nature through Gardening.”
This year’s workshop will be held March 12 at Lakeland
Community College in Kirtland. Master Gardener volunteers
will present the day-long workshop with horticultural experts
addressing multiple gardening topics.
Those who attend the workshop will be able to select four
class sessions; enjoy a light continental breakfast, hot lunch and
snacks; view educational displays; visit the expanded “Vendor’s
Row” and share information with other gardening enthusiasts
ranging from beginners to those who are more experienced.
Pre-register by Feb. 8 and receive a free chance to win a butterfly garden from Bluestone Perennials valued at $190.
The registration and continental breakfast start at 8 a.m. and
the program runs from 8:45 a.m. to 4 p.m.
This year Hope Taft, former Ohio first lady (1999-2007)
and chair of the Heritage Garden Committee of the Friends
of the Ohio Governor’s Residence and Heritage Garden, and
Guy Denny, former chief of the Ohio Department of Natural
Resources, will be honored guests. They will present a program
titled, “Painting Ohio in Broad Brush Strokes.”
Additionally, attendees will learn what plants are trending
in 2016, how to get started making wine at home, the simple
principles of integrated pest management, the difference between
bulbs, tubers and corms, and more.
For full information about the workshop and online registration, go to www.lake.osu.edu and link to the Home Gardeners’
Workshop. Brochures are available at Lake County libraries and
at The Ohio State University Extension office, 99 East Erie St.
in Painesville.
