MENTOR – Negotiations between the City of Mentor and
Mentor Board of Education over
land needed for Lake Health’s $30
million Health and Wellness Center have taken a new turn.
Council spent nearly 40 minutes in executive session at its
June 21 meeting discussing a
school board offer to purchase four
acres for $750,000.
School officials originally
thought the school district owned
all 10 acres of the land at the
southwest Munson Road and
Market Street intersection. Negotiations began after a routine title
search discovered about four acres
is actually owned by the city.
The school district offer came
in a June 16 letter to City Council
President Janet Dowling written
by School Board President Sally
Miller.
In addition to the $750,000
offer, it seeks to continue negotiations for a “mutually satisfactory”
purchase and sales agreement.
In addition:
• The city is to work with the
developer, Boldt Capital, to use
land on the west side of the health
and wellness center for overflow
parking to handle school and city
special events.
• The purchase closing date is
to be set in either October or November so it is in conjunction with
closing of the developer’s financing
needed for the project.
The city’s sale of the four acres
depends on final passage of an
ordinance approved by Mentor
City Council on second reading at
its June 21 meeting and on first
reading June 7.
Pending the outcome the council-school board negotiations, it
calls for transferring ownership
of the four acres to either Boldt
Capital, the center’s developer, the

Mentor accesses deer management program
BY GLEN MILLER
Gazette Newspapers
MENTOR - The city of Mentor
is renewing its deer reduction efforts with new goals, culling, and
plans for a possible infrared aerial
survey of the deer population late
this year or early in 2017.
The reduction of deer was reviewed by city council with members of the Parks and Recreation
Department during a nearly hourlong work session held prior to a
June 21 council meeting.
A report on the city’s deer
management program reveals the
greatest number of deer culled
during the last several years was
212 in the 2012-2013 hunting season, the first year of the city deer
management program, and 277 in
the 2013-2014 season, the largest
number culled to date.
The report, written by Talula
Koch, Nick Mikash and Mariah
Geitgey, employees of the Parks
and Recreation Department Natural Resources Division, revealed
another 161 deer were culled in
the 2014-2015 deer hunting season
and 167 in the 2015-2016 season.
The program’s total harvest
to date has been 817 deer, 435 of
which were killed by bow hunters.
Their culling has been done
during the usually late September
to early February deer hunting
season allowed by the State of
Ohio, and in late November and
early December by police SWAT
team snipers. Police sharpshooters
are used for safety reasons, city
officials said.
Bow hunters were most successful in the 2013-2014 hunting season, when they killed 137 deer, and
during the 2012-2013 season, when
131 deer were culled. The number
of deer culled by bow hunters in
the last two hunting seasons has
declined, with 91 killed in 20142015 and 76 last year.
In the last four culling seasons,
Mikash said the city has donated
more than 27,000 pounds of venison to needy Lake County resi-
dents through the Cleveland Food
Bank and its two local food pantries, St. John Vianney Catholic
Church in Mentor and Painesville
Baptists Church, Mikash said.
Culling during the last several
years has occurred throughout the
city, with the majority taking place
in the northern half of the city,
especially Mentor Lagoons and
Mentor Marsh nature preserve,
according to a map in the report.
Many residents living near
the marsh continue to complain
about deer damage to plants and
gardens.
Regardless, the number of

Just Say No to Heroin
What is Heroin?
Heroin (diacetylmorphine) is derived from the morphine alkaloid
found in opium and is roughly 2-3 times more potent. A highly
addictive drug, heroin exhibits euphoric (“rush”), anxiolytic and
analgesic central nervous system properties. Heroin is classified
as a Schedule I drug under the Controlled Substances Act of
1970 and as such has no acceptable medical use in the United
States. Pure heroin is a white powder with a bitter taste. Most
illicit heroin is sold as a white or brownish powder and is usually
“cut” with other drugs or with substances such as sugar, starch,
powdered milk, or quinine. It can also be cut with strychnine or
other poisons. Because heroin abusers do not know the actual
strength of the drug or its true contents, they are at risk of overdose or death. Another form of heroin known as “black tar” may
be sticky, like roofing tar, or hard, like coal. Its color may vary
from dark brown to black.
Side Effects of Heroin Use
Heroin is metabolized to morphine and other metabolites which
bind to opioid receptors in the brain. The short-term effects of
heroin abuse appear soon after a single dose and disappear in
a few hours. After an injection of heroin, the user reports feeling
a surge of euphoria (the “rush”) accompanied by a warm flushing of the skin, a dry mouth, and heavy extremities. Following
this initial euphoria, the user experiences an alternately wakeful and drowsy state. Mental functioning becomes clouded due
to the depression of the central nervous system. Other effects
that heroin may have on users include respiratory depression,
constricted (“pinpoint”) pupils and nausea. Effects of heroin overdose may also include slow and shallow breathing, hypotension,
muscle spasms, convulsions, coma, and possible death.

Intravenous heroin use is complicated by other issues such as
the sharing of contaminated needles, the spread of HIV/AIDS,
hepatitis, and toxic reactions to heroin impurities. Other medical
complications that may arise due to heroin use include collapsed
veins, abscesses, spontaneous abortion, and endocarditis (inflammation of the heart lining and valves). Pneumonia may
result from the poor health condition of the abuser, as well as
from heroin’s depressing effects on respiration. Heroin addiction
can remove an otherwise healthy and contributing member from
society, and may lead to severe disability and eventually death.
Other Health Hazards of Heroin
With regular heroin use, tolerance develops where the abuser
must use more heroin to achieve the same intensity or effect.
As higher doses are used over time, physical dependence and
addiction develop. With physical dependence, the body has
adapted to the presence of the drug and withdrawal symptoms
may occur if use is reduced or stopped. Withdrawal, which in
regular abusers may occur as early as a few hours after the last
administration, produces drug craving, restlessness, muscle
and bone pain, insomnia, diarrhea and vomiting, cold flashes with goose bumps (“cold turkey”), kicking movements and
other symptoms. Major withdrawal symptoms peak between
48 and 72 hours after the last dose and subside after about a
week. Sudden withdrawal by heavily dependent users who are
in poor health is occasionally fatal, although heroin withdrawal
is considered much less dangerous than alcohol or barbiturate
withdrawal.

Lighting upgrades will provide savings
BY MARIAN MCMAHON
Gazette Newspapers
LAKE COUNTY – The
Lake County Board of Commissioners voted to accept
a Northeast Ohio Public
Energy Council (NOPEC)
“Powering Our Communities” grant in the amount of
$50,000.
Chuck Klco, Building and
Grounds superintendent,
stated the funds would be
used to upgrade the Lake
County Courthouse parking
lot lights to LED fixtures.
The project was awarded
to A.J. Goulder Electric of
Willoughby to complete at a
cost of $26,350.
“It’s going to save us a lot
of money and it doesn’t cost
us anything,” Klco said.
Other lighting upgrades
will be made elsewhere in
the county with the remaining grant funds.
“We’ll use every penny of
that grant,” Klco said.
Commissioner Dan Troy
stated the money for the
grants came from the fees
NOPEC members pay the
organization.
(NOPEC is a non-profit
organization of more than
200 local governments that
purchases electric and natural gas services for consumers in its member communities.)

New ordinance
addresses neighborhood
speeding controls
By Glen Miller
Gazette Newspapers
MENTOR – A traffic
control ordinance is under
development by the City
of Mentor in an effort to
reduce speeding on residential streets.
An ordinance discussed
by city council on first
reading June 21 includes
several neighborhood
“traffic calming” program
measures, although more
may be added following a
July 5 council work session.
Neighborhood traffic
control has been a goal of
the present council and
prior councils because of
complaints from residents
for many years, City Manager Ken Filipiak said.
The program created
by the ordinance provides
the city with several ways
of dealing with complaints
made by residents who
see motorists speeding on
their streets.
They include previously
used traditional control
methods that have become
a formal part of a traffic
control program, he added.
“This (program) goes
a bit further in the event
our traditional means of
enforcement and education aren’t as effective as
we would like them to be,”
Filipiak said.
The traffic control
methods will include traditional stepped-up police
enforcement, “the most
tried-and-true way of addressing traffic safety in a
neighborhood,” he added
In other cases, speed
and traffic studies will
be done “to determine if
there is a problem or if
it is a perceived problem
and, if there is, the extent
of the problem,” the city
manager said.
The program also in-
cludes a “clearly definable way” of determining
what would be excessive
speed in a neighborhood,
although the city manager
did discuss them.
If speeding is a problem, city officials can seek
recommendations from a
special traffic committee
on ways to prevent excessive speeding.
Its recommendations
might include things like
the addition of stop signs,
safety or warning signs,
traffic lights or even “alterations” in the street,
such as the addition of
speed bumps.
“This is an interactive
program, meaning we
want to do this in cooperation with, and in coordination with, the residents
that are directly affected,”
Filipiak said.
Neighborhood residents will be asked to
“buy in” by accepting the
traffic control measures
suggested by city officials.
In other words, they will
be asked if they will accept
speed bumps, a flashing
speed sign or allow a narrowing of the street in an
effort to prevent speeding,
he added.
If a “physical alteration” is needed to the
street, residents will be
asked to support a petition verifying a majority
of them support a physical
change to a street before it
is actually made, the city
manager explained.
As always, councilmen
will be the primary way
through which residents
can convey their feelings
about various speed control measures to city administrators, Filipiak said.
“All this just gives us
more tools in our toolbox
to address these (neighborhood speeding) problems,” he added.

Garden and Lavender Festival will take place Saturday, July 16
from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at Luvin’ Lavender Farms, 5861 Middle
Ridge Rd. in Madison.
With almost two acres of various blooms, they are looking forward to having artists, lavender enthusiasts and the general public
to come enjoy a day in the natural surroundings of the farm. Artists
are encouraged to bring easels, cameras, and supplies, and spend
the day creating art in the field. The day will include activities for
both the young and the old, such as art classes, crafting classes,
pick your own lavender, selected culinary samplings, distillation
demonstrations, and more.
Admission is $5 and $2 from every admission will be donated
to the homeless animals of Lake Humane Society. Be sure to stop
by the LHS information booth to see some of the volunteers. There
might even be a guest appearance by one of Lake Humane Society’s
adoptable dogs. For more information, visit Lake Humane Society
Please come see me!
My name is Cersie, and I am a big (10 lbs.), calm kitty.
I am very affectionate and enjoy (demand) being
petted, at which time my purring motor will engage
into full gear. And if there is a toy nearby, I will be more
than happy to chase it! I came to the shelter because
a kind human found me as a stray, but could not keep
me. I now need to find my furever home where I will
feel safe and loved as a treasured member of the
family. So if you are looking for a sweet, affectionate,
playful kitty who likes (demands) being petted, just
ask for Cersie. Please come see me!
All of the pets at Lake Humane Society are spayed/
neutered as well as physicaled by a licensed vet
before going up for adoption. All of the cats receive
age-appropriate vaccinations and they are treated
for fleas and receive a Feline Leukemia/FIV Combo
test. All cats and dogs adopted from the facility are
microchipped. For more information, call (440) 9516122 or visit www.lakehumane.org. Lake Humane
Society is located on Tyler Boulevard in Mentor and
is open every day of the week except Wednesdays.
Dogs &
Fireworks Don’t
Mix
Every year the shelter fills up with lost and frightened dogs from the Fourth of July fireworks. If your pet
is missing if might be a good idea to give them a call.
Better yet, keep your dog safely locked inside your home
during times of festively loud noises.
The Lake County Dog Shelter is located on Route 20
near the Painesville/Perry border. The shelter’s phone
number is (440) 350-2640. Each dog costs $100, and
that price includes a validated license, microchip, vet
check and immunizations. Additional dogs can be seen
at www.petango.com using the zip code 44077.
Bark in the Park
EASTLAKE - Attention all baseball and animal lovers. Bark in
the Park is scheduled to take place Monday, Aug. 8 at 7 p.m. Treat
pooches like part of the family by bringing them to Classic Park in
Eastlake to watch the Lake County Captains take on their rivals. The
special pet section of the ballpark features seats in the grass, benefitting shelters, fresh water, and plenty of fresh smells. Admission is
$8 for humans and $5 for dogs.
Part of the proceeds will benefit the homeless pets of Lake
Humane Society and Rescue Village. Be sure to stop by the Lake
Humane Society info booth to check out some of their adoptable
dogs, merchandise, and some cool fun for dogs.

At the Exchange Club of Painesville Business Meeting last week at Hellriegel’s Inn,
there were a few extra guests that came and left with an additional Time Out Teddy
(or 20, to be precise.)
The Exchange Club of Painesville Time Out Teddy program has grown in numbers
and in meaning. The newest recipient of the Teddy Bears is Birthright Lake County.
Volunteer Marian Lipinski was very excited to start the program at Birthright, along with

June is Alzheimer’s & Brain Awareness Month
BY MARIAN MCMAHON
Gazette Newspapers
LAKE COUNTY – The
Lake County Board of Commissioners passed a resolution proclaiming June 2016
Alzheimer’s & Brain Awareness Month in Lake County
at its June 23 meeting.
It stated in part,
“Whereas, the Alzheimer’s
Association is the leading
voluntary health organization in Alzheimer’s care,
support and research and
the disease currently affects more than five million American adults and
over 15 million people are
serving as their caregivers.
Alzheimer’s disease is the
6th leading cause of death
in the country, and it is
the only cause of death
among the top 10 in the
United States that cannot
be prevented, cured or even
slowed down …”
Painesville – International Women’s Air and Space
Museum (IWASM) celebrates
its 40-year anniversary at a gala
from 8:30 until 10 p.m. Saturday, July 9 at the historic Steele
Mansion, 398 Mentor Ave.,
Painesville. The event also will
celebrate the 80th anniversary
of the date that the renowned
aviator Amelia Earhart stayed at
the mansion.
Tickets are $80 and include
heavy hors d’hoeurves, entertainment and a silent auction.
Constance (Connie) Luhta,
president of the IWASM board of
trustees, said the hors d’oeurves
can almost be a meal. Vocalist
Heidi Skok, accompanied by
Ron Balogh, will provide the
entertainment of aviation-related
music.
Guests who stay at the mansion will receive a $10 discount.
Luhta said Earhart spoke
at Lake Erie College in 1936,
shortly before she disappeared on
July 2, 1937, during her attempt
to fly around the world.
The IWASM, located at Burke
Lakefront Airport, 1501 Marginal Rd. in downtown Cleveland,
features bios and memorabilia
of a number of women who
made an impact on aviation and
space, including Earhart, Ruth
Nichols, Bessie Coleman, Harriet Qimby, Katharyn Wright,
the WASP (Women Airforce
Service Pilots), Jackie Cochran
and others through the decades.
Among the Earhart memorabilia
at IWSAM are her flight suit, her
logbook and numerous pictures.
A current exhibit is on Marge
Hurlburt, from Painesville, who
was a WASP and set a speed
record for women in 1947
Luhta, still an active pilot,
said that 6,000 women have
been involved with aviation and
space going back to the Wright
brothers. She manages Concord
Air Park.
Trustee Gretchen Reed
owned Pheasant Run Airport at
5782 Trask Rd., Leroy Township.
She and her late husband
Charles, both private pilots,
started the airport in 1985 and
86. They also collected vintage
aircraft. The property, along
with buildings, airplanes and
equipment, was donated to Lake
Erie College.
Reed began flying a Cessna
172 in 1968 and transitioned into
antique planes. She now flies an
Aeronca Champ 72.
Reed has been collecting
items for the gala drawings,
including artwork, baskets, wine
and accessory baskets, craft
items, apparel, a shadow box
and plate from Amelia Earhart
and more.
Weather permitting, Chris
Joles will do a fly-by in is his
sport aircraft.
The Steels Mansion will be
open to the public, with the exception of rooms that may rented
for the evening.
Reed said they hope to earn
a little for the support of the
IWASM, including exhibits,
tours, educational programs and
other projects.

Fairport Mardi Gras celebrates 75 years
BY MARIAN MCMAHON
Gazette Newspapers
FAIRPORT HARBOR
– Fairport Mardi Gras, a
nonprofit, began as an ongoing festival 75 years ago,
initially to bring together the
different ethnic groups such
as the Poles, Hungarians,
Finns and Slovenians.
Through the years it
evolved into the festival it
is now and will run this year
from Thursday, June 30 to
Monday, July 4. It normally
runs from Wednesday to
Sunday, but this year is
different with July 4 on
Monday.
Mardi Gras will be open
from 5 to 11 p.m. on Thursday, with the annual parade
at 7 p.m., headed by the
grand marshal and the Fairport Harding High School
Band. It will process from
Third to Vine to Seventh
then Eagle streets.
The 2016 Mardi Gras
Queen will be chosen following the parade.
From Friday through
Monday, concessions will
open at noon and rides will
start up at 1 p.m. with all
day wristband prices at $17
each. The festival will shut
down at 11 p.m. each night.
Friday, July 1 will be
Senior Day from 1 to 5 p.m.
for those age 55 and older.
“There will be games and
prizes,” Said Sharon Lowthian, advertising chair for
the committee.
Seniors may park at the
Fairport Senior Center and
ride a shuttle bus to the
festival during these times
only. Parking is also available at the Fairport Port
Authority on Water Street
for a small fee.

Day from 1 to 5 p.m.
They can enjoy the Richardson Special of a hot dog,
fries and a drink for just $5.
Wristbands for rides are just
$10 during that time.
Cracker Jack the Clown
and Co. do balloons and face

for Kids Day a Watermelon
Eating Contest for the ages

Lowthian said.

Fairport Harbor schools
to establish incubator for
student-run startups
COLUMBUS - “Straight A” grant funding in the amount
of $368,680 has been approved for Fairport Harbor Exempted Village. The funding will help the school district create
the “Startup Fairport: College, Career and Community Success” project, an incubator to support student-run startups.
“I am pleased to see the state investing in innovative
education projects that will allow students to build upon
their creativity and imagination,” State Rep. John Rogers
(D-Mentor-on-the-Lake) said. “Engaging young students
through programs that allow them to create products, gain
experience developing a business plan, and learn how to
market goods will have a positive impact on their career
development and the healthy future of our small business
community.”
The Straight A Fund was established to help schools
launch creative new ideas for improving education and to
transform Ohio’s education system into one that meets the
unique needs of every student in every classroom. The Ohio
Department of Education received more than 141 grant
applications for more than 400 schools. Fairport Harbor
Exempted Village was one of 90 schools awarded $14.8
million in overall funding statewide.

Letter to the Editor
Dear Editor:
Memorial Day was attended by many again
this year to share in the
services and remembrance
of Veterans no longer with
us. The Madison Community held solemn services
and a parade for all to
attend. I do not believe
we can give our Veterans
who are no longer with us
as much remembrance as
they deserve, however, we
will continue to do our best
to keep their memories
alive especially in our
hearts.
Members of American Legion Posts 112 and
VFW Post 8548 held services at every cemetery in
the early morning hours
with members of the Madison High School Band
and Madison Ministerial
Association to honor our
deceased Veterans. This
also took place in surrounding communities by
other Veterans groups.
Memorial Day events
were enjoyed by all, many
people, equipment, time,
energy, etc. went into
making this sacred day a
day to remember. I again
want to thank our speakers Veteran Don Micco for
sharing his experiences in
three wars.
Also to Sophia Gramoy
for being this year’s poppy
princess, the pilots who
took the time and expense
to do the fly over’s, Band
Director Kristine May and
Madison High School Band,
Doug McLean for his rider
less horse, Greg Anderson
for his military vehicles,
Dave Virant for his military
vehicle, Paul Stevens of
Classic Chrysler for use of
cars, Dan Nichols for his
speaker system, and Madison Village Council for use
of the Village Park, Madison
Ministerial Association, Retired Navy Commander Ken
Bolland, Mayor Sam Britton
and Little John for help with
parade line up, Laketran for
the bus and driver Loretta
Rogers who donated her
time to drive the Laketran bus. Many more which
we have not mentioned.
Of course all the Veterans
who participated in parade/
services. There are too many
who helped to mention.
Behind the scenes many
helped to keep the day safe
and clean. I also want to
thank the Madison Township Police, Madison Village
Police, both Village and
township cemeteries crews,
Village maintenance crews,
all the residents who dressed
up their yards with flags
and flowers, the business
owners who also dressed up
their store fronts, Madison
Fire/Rescue for their presence, the youth groups who
marched especially the Boy
Scouts, Girl Scouts, Fike’s
Karate Kids, sports kids
and many, many more. It
is important to have our
children part of these services to understand why we
remember.
If you have a loved one
who served our Country and
is resting in one of our cemeteries and his/her grave is
not properly marked with
a service marker and flag,
call any American Legion,
VFW, AMVET, DAV, or
the Painesville Veterans
Service Office to have one
installed free. It is important to understand the true
meaning of Memorial Day
and the sole purpose we
honor this day, that is to
give honor to those who
“Gave All” and are no longer
with us. This is the price of
freedom and democracy.
Without remembrance,
their sacrifices would be in
vain. I believe we all left the
parade and services with a
true feeling that we remember those who gave up their
tomorrows so we can enjoy
our todays.
Enjoy the summer and
God Bless America and our
Troops in harm’s way.

Commander

Makerspace Monday @ Morley
PAINESVILLE - Morley Library was overflowing with creativity June 20 at the first
ever Makerspace Monday program. A Makerspace is a innovative, DIY space where kids
can gather to create, invent, and learn, with or without technology. Kids grades K-3rd
used various recyclable materials such as paper towel tubes, empty tissue boxes, yarn,
and construction paper to make their own no-tech creations. There were several examples
to inspire ideas, but most of the kids used their imaginations and needed no assistance.
The kids made everything from a robot to an airplane to Rapunzel’s tower and more. The
next Makerspace Monday will be Monday, July 11 from 4 - 4:45 p.m. and parents can call
Morley Library at (440) 352-3383 to register.

Residents want Marshview Landing construction traffic moved
By Glen Miller
Gazette Newspapers
MENTOR - More than
a dozen Village of Marshview Landing residents
came to Mentor City Council June 21 unhappy with
truck construction traffic
in the private development
and the danger it poses to
neighborhood children. The
potentially dangerous truck
traffic, they said, is the result of the city’s refusal to let
trucks use a dirt road built
off adjacent Becker Court to
deliver materials for the last
32 homes under construction
this summer.
Trucks must now use
Marshview Lane, the main
street where children often
play.
Several asked council
to reconsider an ordinance
approval earlier in the meeting approving a subdivision
plat for construction of the
final 32 homes because they
thought it also included a
ban on the use of Becker
Court by truck traffic.
More than 102 homes
have been built in Marshview Landing, which is located off Lake Shore Boulevard near Blackbrook Golf
Course.
Russell Berzin, the developer, was among those who
expressed concern for the
safety of children.
They might disregard the
danger of trucks that must
now drive along Marshview
Lane in order to deliver construction materials to homes
under construction, he said.
“They (drivers) just might
not see children,” added
Berzin. “We don’t want them
killed or injured.”
He held up a check for
about $50,000.
The funds, he said, could
repair Becker Court damage caused by trucks if they
were allowed to access the
neighborhood by using it and
the less dangerous dirt road.
Ownership of Marshview
Landing was transferred to
the homeowners association
June 7, a stipulation agreed
to with its developer, White-
hill Development, when construction began more than a
decade ago.
Pam Trivisonno, a representative of an ownership
transition committee, was
among the residents who
came before council in support of using Becker Court.
“We’re watching those
trucks every day as they
go by our home, rattle our
home and so forth. I’m okay
with that because I’m okay
with the growth of our city,”
Trivisonno said. “I’m scared
for the safety of children. I
don’t have any children, but
they are on my street.”
Another resident, Jose
Rivera, also expressed fear
for his and other children, as
did older homeowners Joan
and Harvey Warren.
Each asked the council
to reconsider the ordinance.
Councilman-at-Large
Ray Kirchner and 4th Ward
Councilman John Krueger
said residents apparently
misunderstood the intent of
the ordinance.
Not only would recon-
sideration of it prevent the
building of the 32 homes,
the use of Becker Court by
construction vehicles is a
separate issue, Law Director
Richard Hennig said.
The decision to prevent
trucks from using Becker
Court is a condition tied to
approval of the entire project
made several weeks ago by
the Mentor Planning Commission when it reviewed
plans for the final phase of
Marshview Landing.
Kirchner also said it
might be unfair to allow the
trucks to use Becker Court
because, even though there
are only a few homes on
it, some families who have
children may object.
Regardless, the decision
to prevent use of Becker
Court could soon change
because of plans submitted
to the Planning Commission
for the construction of new
homes on it, the councilmen
said.

R-4 for single homes, while
Housing Task Force offers
recommendations in Painesville
BY MARIAN MCMAHON
Gazette Newspapers
PAINESVILLE – Councilmember Jim Fodor advised Council on what the
Housing Task Force had
been doing in past months at
the June 20 council meeting.
The Task Force is an
ad hoc committee created in 2008 by Council “to
address matters relating
to housing issues within
the community and to research and review housing
programs and services,” it
states on the city website. The members include:
David Komjati, Abby Delamotte, Richard Tibbits, Father Vellenga, Lynn White,
Doug Lewis, Tony Carson
Jr., Jim Fodor who is chairman, and Katie Jenkins.
“We invited several people to come and talk to us
(during recent meetings),”
Fodor said. “We invited the
past engineer because obviously you want to take a look
in the rear view mirror and
see what they did historically to address the problem
of sidewalks.”
They had four different
realtors come to speak. The
main topic of discussion
with them was the vacant
property ordinance.
His understanding was
that the veteran realtors
were aware of the ordinance
and the main issue was for
them to try to keep new realtors informed.
The Task Force first recommended that the ordinance remain the same. Secondly, it recommended the
administration continue to
seek software to determine
which properties had the
lowest and highest utility
usage.
“One of the concerns is
that a property becomes vacant, and how do we identify
that, and so forth,” Fodor
said.
The Task Force wondered
if there was a software program which could identify
the properties with little or
no usage of utilities which
would indicate vacancy. Excessive use of utilities could
indicate there are too many
people occupying a dwelling.
The members also wondered if meter readers could
help to identify vacant properties.
The Task Force recommended the city continue
to educate the public and
realtors about the vacant
property ordinance. It also
wondered if post cards could
be mailed out requesting
a response from tenants to
help determine if properties
are vacant.
Councilmember Lori DiNallo questioned whether
the landlords could also be
sent notifications if the utility usage is low or very high.
She knew of one instance
where the people were paying rent, but had their utilities shut off.
Jenkins said she believed
that could be a good idea to
help landlords avoid vacant
property charges.
Carson reminded council
the city did not currently
have software which could
provide the information the
Task Force was seeking.
It was noted the utilities
software was interconnected
with the finance and payroll systems, so switching
one would affect the others
which would make it expensive to do.
Another issue the Task
Force considered was sidewalk replacement.
Fodor noted the city had
decided not to enforce sidewalk replacement when the
economy tanked.
One suggestion was hav-
ing a point of sale inspection. He noted some cities
require a number of things
to be inspected when properties are sold. The Task
Force suggested starting
with sidewalks only beginning next year. Bids would
be taken to get lower prices
for replacements.
“The reason being that
we want to get back to
the point where we have
sidewalk replacements, because obviously we are a
city—people walk on the
sidewalks; they’re riding
their bikes; they’re pushing
their strollers; they’re using
electric carts, and we don’t
want people walking in the
streets,” Fodor said.
He added the sidewalk plows cost more than
$80,000 so they didn’t want
them damaged.
He reviewed when sidewalks would be required to
be replaced. He advised the
Task Force recommended
hiring someone part-time, in
next year’s budget, to start
identifying those sidewalks
needing replacement.
Fodor also reviewed the
suggested notification process and the plan to restart
enforcement of sidewalk
replacement per the city
ordinance in 2019.
In other business:
• Second reading was
held on an ordinance amending appropriations for the
current expenses and expenditures of the city for fiscal
year 2016.
• Council suspended
readings and passed a resolution authorizing and directing the city manager to
advertise for bids and enter
into a contract including
any and all ensuing change
orders with the lowest and
best bidder for the 2016
Road Improvement Program
– Phase 2.
City Engineer Leeanne
Exum said Phase 2 would include all or part of Williams
Street, North State Street,
Wood Street, Hillside Drive
and Levan Drive.
Bid openings would be
July 13 with work starting
in August or September, depending on when the water
lines were completed.
Hillside Drive will remain one way, from Main
Street to State Street.
readings and passed a resolution authorizing and directing the city manager to
apply for and accept financial assistance for public
recreation purposes with the
Ohio Department of Natural
Resources.
These funds, if awarded,
would be used to improve
the restrooms at Painesville
Kiwanis Recreation Park.
“There’s no heat in the
restrooms, so we have to
blow out the water pipes so
that they don’t freeze,” said
Michelle LaPuma, director
of Recreation and Public
Lands.
Sometimes, when teams
are using the ballfields, the
weather is too cold to allow
use of the restrooms.
• Concerning the quality of sound on Channel 12
when council meetings are
broadcast, Councilmember
Katie Jenkins suggested all
of council make an effort to
speak into the microphones
so they can be heard better.
• Councilmember Mike
DeLeone stated council procedures would be further
discussed at the next work
session.
It was noted the next
work session would be at
5:15 p.m. July 13. The next
regular meeting of council
will be a 7:30 p.m. Monday,
July 5.
a portion also is set aside as
a conservation district (C-1).
Informal plans call for rezoning a total of 13.81 acres
on the east and west sides
of the street for residential
village green (RVG) development, which allows homes to
be located closer together.
Consideration of the rezoning was tabled at a June
16 meeting by the Planning Commission, which
also wants to increase the
amount of open space required for future RVG zoning.
Kirchner advised the residents to stay informed about
the proposed RVG housing
project because possible construction of homes on Becker
Court would likely eliminate
the truck traffic ban.
Berzin, however, later
said he disagreed because
he contended council still
could vote to allow use of
Becker Court regardless of
the Planning Commission’s
condition prohibiting use of
the street.
Among the Marshview
Landing plans also discussed
was the construction of a
back gate entrance at nearby
Grace Court accessible only
to emergency vehicles.
The gate was approved
by the city when the first
phase of Marshview Landing
was approved more than a
decade ago, inadvertently
removed by council earlier
this year as part of new legislation and reinstated.
There is a debate among
residents as whether the
Grace Court gate should
remain or be eliminated, an
issue that will likely face
the homeowners’ association
when its officers are elected,
Trivisonno said.
“There are some (residents) who feel we shouldn’t
be a gated community anymore,” she added. “There’s
several things that have to
be worked out.”
Mentor provides Marshview Landing with emergency services, although
residents must pay for street
maintenance, lighting and
services, she said.

Council on Aging
Mentor - The Western Reserve Junior Service League
(WRJSL) has awarded grant funding to the Lake County
Council on Aging. The grant will be used to improve the
outdoor security lighting at the Council on Aging’s East

Newest development proving popular
BY MARIAN MCMAHON
Gazette Newspapers
MADISON VILLAGE
- Engineer Eric Haibach
advised Council at the June
20 meeting that he had five
more site plans to review
for the Madison Preserve
development, next to the
East End YMCA.
“They’re going like gangbusters and people are really
interested,” he said. “They
don’t submit site plans to me
until they have an interested
buyer for the lot, so I guess
it was a good investment on
their part; it’s really filling
up.”
He said the Main Street
SWIF grant project was
nearly completed with just
some smaller things to be
done.
The Parkway Culvert
design is nearly completed
and will go out to bid as soon
as the Village receives the
OPWC funds for it.
The Hyder Drive Base
Repairs Project is also close
to going out for bid.
In other business:
• When the pay ordinance
was presented, Councilmember Greg Mabe again questioned the police overtime
and wondered if any disciplinary action was taken.
Police Chief Dawn Shannon explained about the
officers who called off and
had to be replaced. The situ-
ations did not call for any
disciplinary action.
• Council passed, on
third reading, an ordinance
amending the codified ordinances, Part Seven – Planning and Zoning, Section 5.3
to increase the maximum
height of buildings in the
B-4, Interstate Business District, and the B-5, Interstate
Business Industrial District
from 35 feet to 50 feet.
A public hearing was
held with no comments being made.
• First reading was held
on a resolution approving
and adopting the tax budget
of the Village for the fiscal
year commencing Jan. 1,
2017, submitting the same
to the county auditor and
declaring an emergency.
A public hearing was held
on the tax budget, but no one
commented.
readings and passed an
ordinance authorizing an advance from the general fund
to the special project fund
for the Village’s Growing
Green on Main Street (aka
SWIF Grant) and declaring
an emergency.
readings and passed the following resolutions: entering
into a consent and participation agreement with the
Ohio Department of Transportation for the resurfacing
of state Route 84 within
the Village, and declaring
an emergency; vacating a
sanitary sewer easement as
recorded in Vol. 896, Page
993 and Vol. 896, Page 927
of the Lake County Records
and declaring an emergency
(the sewer was removed and
the easement runs through
a building); and authorizing
the mayor to execute a lease
addendum with the Lake
County General Health District for space (used for WIC
Program) located at 33 East
Main St., known as Stratton Place, and declaring an
emergency.
• A purchase order in the
amount of $2,850.11 to Davis
Race Cars for emergency
repairs that were done to the
CAT backhoe was approved.
• Administrator Dwayne
Bailey reminded everyone
about Open Mic Nights on
Wednesdays from 6 to 8
p.m. at the gazebo, following the Open Market from 2
to 6 p.m. behind the old fire
station.
• There will be a special
public meeting at 7 p.m.
Wednesday, July 6 at the
Madison Fire District station at 840 River St. on its
2017 tax budget.

pay for an additional officer.

EASTLAKE - The community is invited to the
family-friendly Relay For
Life of Western Lake County on Saturday, July 9.
The event kicks off with
a fun-filled 10:30 a.m. parade down Stevens Blvd.
to Eastlake North High
School. Opening ceremonies at the school begin at
noon, and the event runs
until midnight. Just show
up any time during the
free, 12-hour Relay, which
benefits the American Cancer Society.
The theme for this
year’s event is Paint Your
World With Hope – hope
that a cure can be found
so cancer will not take another person’s life.
Cancer survivors are
VIP guests at Relay. A
Survivor Lap concludes
the opening ceremony and
is an inspirational time
when cancer survivors are
invited to circle the track
to help celebrate victories
over cancer. Afterward,
survivors and their caregivers are treated to a
complimentary lunch.
At 9:30 p.m. the Luminaria Ceremony takes
place to remember and
honor people touched by
cancer and loved ones lost
to the disease. Each luminaria bears the name
of a person who survived,
was lost to, or is fighting
cancer. Following the ceremony, participants walk a
lap of the track in silence.
Relay has its solemn
moments, but Relay is also
a fun event, with something for everyone.
Singers and bands will
perform; local dignitaries
will judge a Battle of the
Burgers contest; there is
a cornhole tournament;
plus there are many fun
contests, kids games, food
and more.
The closing ceremony,
beginning at 11:45 p.m.,
features the Fight Back
Lap, where participants
make a personal commitment to fight back against
the disease to save lives.
The communities of
Eastlake, Lakeline, Timberlake, Wickliffe, Willoughby, Willoughby Hills
and Willowick comprise
Relay For Life of Western
Lake County. Nineteen
teams from these communities will participate in
the event.

out of streets. They had an
accident recently where the
motorcyclist was cut off and
ended up with a broken leg.

wondered if something could
be done so that would not be

buses were lined up and ready to transport fans and
lines moved quickly.
An unknown fan poses in front of the LeBron banner like thousands of other Cavs fan did the day of the Championship
parade in downtown Cleveland June 22. The city was celebrating its first world title since the Cleveland Browns
won the NFL Championship in 1964.
Confetti filled the air throughout the parade shot out by ... confetti cannons, of course

Lake County – LaLaketran drivers prepare to drive thousands of fans to downtown Cleveland for the ketran congratulates the
Championship parade. Buses left from Mentor and Eastlake. More than 1.3 million NBA champion Cleveland
people swamped Cleveland June 22 for the parade celebrating the NBA champions. Cavaliers and the City of

“Yesterday was an amazing day and everyone at Laketran was excited to be part
of the Cavs excitement and
to help Lake County residents access the celebration
in downtown Cleveland,”
said Ray Jurkowski, general
manager of Laketran.
With over triple Cleveland’s population converging on downtown Cleveland, public transportation
was in high demand to
get to the championship
parade. In addition to
Laketran’s regular commuter Park-n-Ride service,
Laketran carried more than
10,000 passengers to and

Vintage in the Vineyard
Socializing
a success for
Madison
Historical
Society
BY MARIAN MCMAHON
Gazette Newspapers
MADISON TOWNSHIP
– Folks gathered at Grand
River Cellars Winery for the
Madison Historical Society
(MHS) annual fundraiser,
Vintage in the Vineyard,
June 27.
“This is our major fundraiser for the year,” said
Marje Shook, office manager
Marie Kozan of Madison and Sonia Brotzman of Madison
and a member of Madison Historical Society talk over
wine and appetizers during the MHS fundraiser, Vintage
in the Vineyard, held June 27.
for MHS. “We decided that
we would concentrate on
one fundraiser rather than
trying lots of little ones, and
that helps us out because
we’re always looking for
volunteers, and need volunteers, to run these events.”
The event, in its second
year, is very informal. It
is just an opportunity for
people to socialize, enjoy
some good wine or beer and
appetizers and purchase
tickets for a chance to win at
a 50/50 raffle, or Chinese or
silent auction items.
Shook said the event,
held in a great venue, is
simple enough so it does not
require many volunteers to
run it.
The funds raised will be
used to help the Historical
Society continue its operations.
“A lot of the local community has come through this
year with their donations,”
said MHS member Laura
Shimko. “It’s just a night for
everyone to come and have a
good time and support us in
what we try to do to save the
history of Madison.”
Asked if MHS had any
particular projects in the
works at this time, she said
they were trying to update
all of their computer software, which is very old.
They were able to get
a refurbished computer to
replace the old one they had.

school board or the Lake
County Port and Economic
Development Authority,
which is helping Boldt
Capital arrange financing
for the health and wellness
center.
The ordinance also proposes creation of a tax
increment financing (TIF)
agreement. Through it, the
city would get about 20
percent of the estimated
$300,000 in new property tax revenue the school
district will get from the
health and wellness center.
The city would use its
20 percent, or roughly
$60,000 a year, to finance
various road and other
projects.
Prior to the executive
session, City Manager Ken
Filipiak said the ordinance
might be changed, although
he did not say why or if the
changes were requested by
school officials as part of the
negotiations.
The land at the southwest
corner of Munson Road and
Market Street was rezoned
by voters from R-4 singlefamily to B-2 commercial
during this year’s March primary election at the request
of the school board.
School officials reportedly
expressed interest in acquiring the city’s four acres after
the ownership discrepancy
was discovered, although no
formal offer was made.
School Superintendent
Matt Miller was out of town
and could not be reached for
comment.
“From our standpoint,
we remain hopeful the wellness center will be built this
land,” said Kristen Kirby,
school district community
relations specialist.
Council also could consider a proposal recommended
by Boldt Capital under the
auspices of the Port Authority.
That offer would pay the
city $517,200 for the four
acres. It also calls for a
zoning “compromise” by rezoning all 10 acres to a B-1
community service zoning
classification.
It includes a provision for
a land swap that calls for ex-
changing roughly 4.3 acres
of school district land located
between Munson Road and
the school administration
building for the city’s four
acres.
The school district property is a grassy area between
four baseball fields and Osborne Stadium.
In other June 21 action,
council:
• Purchased a new rescue squad vehicle for the
Mentor Fire Department
for $272,896 from Braun
Ambulances, Van Wert,
Ohio. The new vehicle will
replace a 2003 rescue squad
ambulance for Fire Station 4
on Civic Center Boulevard.
• Transferred $500,000
from the city General Fund
to the Street Fund for
street and road repairs.
• Purchased a $57,299
Kabota mini-excavator
from the Middlefield Farm
and Garden Co.
• Bought BMX bike and
skate ramps for $74,900
for the Mentor Parks Department from Service
Supply Limited in Reynoldsburg, Ohio.
• Honored retiring
Mentor firefighter Lt. Don
Zimmerman, the recipient
of the Frank Giampetro
Distinguished EMS Educator Award given by the
Ohio Department of Safety’s Division of Emergency
Medical Services.

of the Lake County Board of
Commissioners. “The goal
of our utilities department
is to continually strive to
optimize operations and
improve the quality of water
we deliver to our customers. Achieving the Directors
Award demonstrates our
ongoing commitment to delivering a superior product
to our residents.”
“As water quality and
its relationship to public
health has been extensively
discussed in the national
news of late, it is indeed
gratifying to see our county’s
fresh water supply systems
receive this outstanding performance recognition. The
Board of Commissioners,
our utility department leadership, and the dedicated
workers in our two plants
take this important service
responsibility seriously, and
we will continue to protect
the citizens of our county by
delivering a superior, and
now, award winning, product,” Commissioner Daniel
P. Troy said.
Commissioner Kevin
Malecek said, “Lake County
residents should be proud of
the hard work and dedication of their public employ-
ees who tirelessly work to
ensure the high quality of
drinking water they consume. We are fortunate
and honored to have such
national recognition of the
high quality of our county’s
water.”
Of the approximately
4,800 public water systems
in Ohio, roughly 300 of them
are surface water treatment
plants and are eligible to
participate in the Partnership for Safe Water’s treatment plant optimization
program. Including the East
and West Water Treatment
Plants, there are currently
eight active Phase III Director Award recipients in the
state of Ohio.
The East Water Treatment Plant went online in
1982. It has a design capacity to treat nine million gallons of water per day, and
currently provides roughly
three million gallons of water per day to approximately
34,000 residents in Perry
Village, North Perry Village,
Madison Township, and portions of Perry.
The West Water Treatment Plant went online in
1985. It has a design capacity to treat 20 million gallons
of water per day, and currently provides roughly 10
million gallons of water per
day to approximately 90,000
residents in Eastlake, Lakeline Village, Timberlake Village, Wickliffe, Willoughby,
Willoughby Hills, and Willowick.
Both plants draw water
from Lake Erie, which is
then treated by LCDU plant
personnel 24 hours a day,
seven days a week.
The Partnership for Safe
Water is a voluntary selfassessment and optimization program for water treatment plant and distribution system operation. More
than 250 utility subscribers,
collectively serving more
than 100 million people, are
committed to the Partnership’s goals of providing
safe, high-quality drinking
water through achieving
operational excellence in
water treatment. Partnership members participate
in a rigorous four-phase
self-assessment and peer
review process, developed
by industry experts, and are
recognized industry-wide for
their commitment to delivering safe water to their communities.

CONCORD TOWNSHIP - Lake Health and philanthropic affiliate the Lake Health Foundation will hold
a community celebration to mark the grand opening of
Phase 2 of the three-season Wellness Walk that encircles
the wooded campus of TriPoint Medical Center June 29 at
5 p.m. at 7590 Auburn Rd., Concord Township.
The $225,000 extension, which more than doubles the
length of the trail, was funded solely through donations
from members of the community and the Lake Health
medical staff.
Captains Charities - the charitable arm of the Lake
County Captains - provided a $100,000 gift toward the
project. The Lake Health medical staff contributed $50,000.
Originally opened in 2014, the Wellness Walk is the first
of its kind in Ohio to be fully designed and developed from
evidence-based research, which has shown that integrating
nature with the body, mind and spirit maximizes wellness.
Designed for walkers, the trail provides members of
the community with opportunities for physical activity, a
leisurely stroll or tranquil rest - all the while surrounded by
the beauty of nature. Exercise stations, meditation areas, a
children’s play area, a viewing platform, a musical garden
and a boardwalk over scenic wetlands dot the one-mile path.
Getting to know the Land Bank
BY MARIAN MCMAHON
Gazette Newspapers
PAINESVILLE – The
Lake County Land Reutilization Corporation, better
known as the Lake County
Land Bank, was established
by a resolution passed by the
Lake County Board of Commissioners in April 2012. It
effectively began operation
in May of 2013.
However, there still seem
to be misconceptions about
its purpose and how it operates.
“This entity is a nonprofit
community improvement
corporation and it’s formed
to advance, encourage and
promote the industrial, economic, commercial and civic
development of a community
or area,” Commissioner Dan
Troy said when the resolution was passed.
“We’re not a county agency,” said John M. Rogers, executive director of the Land
Bank. “We are designated
as a 501(C)3 charitable organization and incorporated
as a not-for-profit in Ohio
and committed to a public
purpose.”
It is a quasi-governmental agency, however, since
the Board includes two Lake
County commissioners, the
Lake County Treasurer, a
member from Mentor which
is the county’s largest city,
and a representative from
the townships.
The Board was permit-
Part One of a
Two-Part Series
ted to add up to four more
members, which the Lake
County Land Bank Board
opted to do.
The purposes for the
Land Bank are: to promote
economic and housing development within the county;
to facilitate reclamation,
rehabilitation and reutilization of vacant, abandoned,
tax foreclosed or other real
property; to efficiently hold
and manage that real property pending its reclamation, rehabilitation and reutilization; and to assist
entities and other nonprofit
or for-profit entities in the
acquisition of real property
and the clearing of title in a
coordinated matter.
Besides acquiring properties due to foreclosures
following legal proceedings,
the Land Bank has also had
banks donate five properties to it, along with cash
donations. The condition of
the homes on the properties were such that they all
needed to be demolished.
Unfortunately, the cash
donations, which averaged
about $7,500, were not nearly enough to cover the demolition costs, which average
about $18,000.
“But we use that money
to leverage, in order to get
grants,” Rogers said.

He explained that many
properties remained vacant
because the structures were
in need of so much repair,
had liens and delinquent
taxes owed, so it was not
economically feasible for
any individuals to purchase
the properties, spend the
money on demolition, and
then build new structures
or homes.
“There’s a study here that
says line of sight from an
abandoned house reduces
property values by 10 percent,” Rogers said.
Eliminating the blighted
structures may not increase
property values, but they
would not make them decline, he added.
This past housing crisis
was the worst in U.S. history, Rogers said. In 1995
there were about 300 foreclosures annually in Lake
County. That figure peaked
at about 1,800 about 2010 or
2011. In 2014, the number
was close to 1,000, which
was about one of every 89
housing units.
The procedure, he explained, was that the Lake
County Prosecutor’s Office
would notify the Land Bank
when properties were being foreclosed. If the Land
Bank was not interested,
the property would go to
Sheriff’s Sale.
If it was not purchased
after being offered at two
Sheriff’s Sales, the court
would send notices to the
Land Bank, the community
where the property is located
and to the local school district (which generally is not
interested).
If the community wants
the property, the Land Bank
does not get involved.
If the community and
schools are not interested,
the property goes to the Lake
County Auditor’s Office. The
properties are then forfeited
to the state of Ohio and the
liens extinguished.
At that point, the Land
Bank can say it wants it.
“If you don’t have clear
title to land, it’s very difficult
to dispose of,” Rogers said.
He noted, besides decreasing property values,
abandoned properties often
cannot be sold and can attract criminal activities and/
or arsonists.
By acquiring the properties and demolishing the
structures which are not
worth rehabilitating, the
Land Bank helps to stabilize property values and
the tax base; provides a lot
ready for purchase to build
another structure which
will generate property taxes;
and increases the safety of
the area.
A study completed in
Flint, Mich. determined
that by investing $3.5 million in demolition costs, it
preserved $109 million in
property values.

Auto shop in Mentor
offers internships
MENTOR - How many
auto body students can say
they’ve had professional
auto body experience before obtaining a job in
the field? Not many. D&S
Automotive in Mentor is
investing in the future of
auto body professionals
by providing an apprentice
program at the various
D&S facilities.
D&S recruits apprentices from Auburn Career
Center where students
who have enthusiasm for
the field and recommendations from their professors
are introduced to the D&S
apprentice program. With
the skills and techniques
learned at Auburn, apprentices come in with
the knowledge that sets
them up for an intensive
apprenticeship program.
They learn everything
from tear down, body
work, and framework,
to refinishing, final reassembly and front-office
estimating.
Since the beginning, six
local auto body technician
students have entered the
program. Nearly every
apprentice has gone on to
work at D&S Automotive,
with one taking a job at
another local body shop.
Two recent graduates
from the program, Nick
Holberg and Noah Mair,
have joined the growing
list of graduates hired
by D&S Automotive. The
best part of the program
for them was rooted in
the experience. The two
expanded their skillsets
put into place by Auburn
Career Center and gained
real world experience in a
professional shop setting.
Out of everything the
program has taught them,
both Mair and Holbert enjoy refinishing best.

Women’s Leadership Council awards grants
BY GAIL STUEHR
Gazette Newspapers
CONCORD TOWNSHIP
- The Women’s Leadership
Council (WLC) of United
Way of Lake County awarded $19,929.94 to nine nonprofit organizations in Lake
County. The grants were
presented June 13 in the
Lubrizol Conference Room of
Lake Health’s Physician Pavilion in Concord Township.
The WLC, formed in
2013, is a group of women
who ignite positive change
and impact in the community, particularly in the
areas of education, income
and health.
The grants are in keeping
with WLC’s goal of positively
impacting the lives of women
and girls through the philanthropic efforts of advocating,
educating and volunteering,
said WLC President Ali
Hughes of Polychem Corp.
The funds were generated
through membership dues,
fees from events like the
recent networking event at
SOL in Willoughby, and the
annual Winterfest.
This is the second year

treat moms with postpartum
depression. It is a community mental health agency that
helps adults with mental
illness and substance abuse
disorders to participate fully

DEER................................ From Page 1
deer-vehicle accidents has
declined and vegetation
growth in more heavily
wooded areas has started
to increase, Koch said in an
interview Monday.
The continued regrowth
of vegetation, which has
been decimated by deer in
some areas, only will occur over time and depends
on continued control of
the deer population, she
added.
“We still have deer, it’s
just that we have lowered
the deer population to a
more sustainable population,” she said.
The deer population remains higher in Mentor industrial areas, particularly
near railroad tracks that
run east and west through
the city, Koch said.
Accidents statistics in
the report reveal 98 deervehicle accidents in 2013,
five involving occupant injuries. There were only 46
accidents and one injury in
2014, when September was
the first deer-vehicle accident free month since 2009.
Last year, however,
there were 70 deer-related
crashes resulting in six
injuries. So far this year,
16 deer accidents occurred
through the end of May,
although no injuries have
been reported.
Continued culling using
bow hunters is planned for
this year and will likely occur between Sept. 24 and
Feb. 5, the bow hunting
dates allowed by the Ohio
Department of Natural
Resources (ODNR).
No dates have been
set for culling by SWAT
teams, although Ohio will
only allow deer killing by
guns Nov. 28-Dec. 4, and
Dec. 28-29, according to an
ODNR website.
Future city efforts include:
• Continue culling in
areas of the city where
there has been prior success. These areas have included the Mentor Lagoons
Nature Preserve, Veterans
Park, President’s Park
and Krueger Parks, Black
Brook Golf Course and the
Wildwood Cultural Center
and Park.
• Continue to evaluate
the city’s deer management
program’s progress and
revise it as needed.
• When possible, work
with bow hunters to increase their culling productivity.
• Monitor changes in
deer activity and consider
an aerial infrared survey of
the deer population using a
helicopter. This might done
during the winter months,
Koch said.
• Conduct a mailed citizen survey on deer management to help the city determine if residents want
bow hunting to occur on
Sunday. Sunday bow hunting is currently prohibited.

World class bands to play Party in the Park
BY ROBIN LUTHANEN
Gazette Newspapers
PAINESVILLE Painesville’s Party in the
Park, Ohio’s largest free
music festival, will begin
11 a.m. Friday, July 15 at
Veteran’s Park in downtown Painesville.
“I’ve been the sole chair
for one year,” Gabe Cicconetti, the event chair, said.
“However I have been one
of the main organizers
for the last nine years
and been booming all the
music for that nine years
as well.”
He added that the event
is in its 36th year.
Party in the Park features more than 30 musical
acts on three stages, from
up-and-coming local acts to
award winning Cleveland
musicians. Bands performing also include national
touring acts from all reaches
of the United States including California, New York,
New Orleans and more.
The Party in the Park
strives to provide an eclectic,
unique musical experience
by bringing together musical
acts of many different genres
including rock, reggae, jazz,
funk, pop, Indie, folk, rocka-billy, country, classic rock,
jam bands, Latin, soul, bluegrass and more. With a new
band performing almost
every hour from noon till
midnight there is something
for everyone to enjoy.
Besides the music,
Painesville Party in the Park
includes an array of activities for adults and children
of all ages. The Community
Stage features demonstrations and activities for the
entire family to enjoy. Also,
organizers plan to have large
inflatables for children to enjoy in the Community Stage
area Family Fun Zone.
Hours for this year’s
Party in the Park are Friday, 11 a.m. to midnight;
Saturday, noon to midnight;
and Sunday, 9 a.m. worship service, then noon to
midnight.
Although Painesville’s
downtown garage is unavailable, parking nearby
is feasible.
“As far as the parking
goes, attendees will be able
to park throughout the city
and also use the temporary
parking lot adjacent to the
garage that the city has constructed,” Cicconetti said.

CCW: What should I buy, what should I carry
INSIDE THE OUTDOORS
BY Dale Sunderlin
Freelance writer from Geneva
[email protected]
CCW, What Should I Buy,
What Should I Carry: For those of
you who have a CCW license, most
of you have probably already made
your decision about what gun and
caliber to carry or to use for self-defense, but for those of you who have
not and for those of you wavering due to the cost of ammo and other
considerations, I want to offer my personal ideas about my decisions
and what works for me. Just my opinions. They may not work for you,
but just consider them. Due to the amount of Conceal Carry classes we
regularly instruct, I am frequently asked by students about what gun
to purchase and what ammo to buy for self-defense purposes. Should it
be a semi-automatic pistol or a revolver? Should I buy a 9mm pistol for
self-defense purposes? Should I shoot 115 grain, 124 grain, or 147 grain
loads? These questions are like asking what kind of car to buy, what kind
of refrigerator to buy, or whether to drink Pepsi or Coca Cola. Everyone
has an opinion, preferences, and influences from experiences of a friend
or family member or their own limited personal observations. Some like
white cars, while others like red cars. Some prefer several extra accessories or options; others do not. So, it depends on your likes and dislikes,
features desired, uses, your hand and finger size, lifestyle dress, and
personal preferences.
It’s Your Decision: All options have pros and cons, limitations and
advantages. So, the only opinion and decision that really matters is yours,
since you must “live or die” with your decision and your life or the lives
of your loved ones may very well depend on it. It is a very individualistic
choice among many nice options, with you selecting features you want
that match your purpose, use and lifestyle. You might even have two
or three uses (e.g. concealed carry or home defense) with each purpose
having a different gun that meets each requirement or manner of dress.
Sadly (for my spouse and our budget), there is not one universal gun
that meets all uses and purposes, but this is just an excuse (I mean a
validation) for having more than one gun. The pistol you carry concealed
might be smaller, weigh less, not have a light attached, not be so wide,
be capable of being carried “cocked and locked,” and hold fewer rounds
than the gun you use for home defense or the one you use for competitive
target shooting or the one you hunt with, etc. Thus the reason you make
trade-offs among easy concealability, firepower, features, and other very
personal criteria.
Thoughts to Ponder: Here are some thoughts about the revolver as
compared to the semi-automatic pistol. Of course, opinions and preferences differ and there are different models of pistols and revolvers with
other considerations.
Semi-Auto’s Advantages
• Thinner without a cylinder, so usually more concealable
• Holds more cartridges, about 15 on average per magazine capacity
• Faster speed of reloading with already loaded magazines; saves time
with no inserting cartridges in each of five or six chambers on average;
only has one chamber
• Generally, more accessories available, e.g. holsters, pouches, etc.
• Rugged finishes with almost indestructible modern materials
Semi Auto Disadvantages
• More mechanicals to operate, e.g. slide, slide lock lever, external safety
(sometimes)
• Inoperable until clear malfunctions or stoppages (must know clearance drills)
Revolver Advantages
• Simple to operate with fewer functions
• Great reliability with less mechanicals
• Usually less expensive to purchase
• Fewer moving parts, so less sensitive to lack of cleaning/maintenance
Revolver Disadvantages
• Holds less rounds on average (five or six) versus pistol average (15
for 9mm)
• Must reload more often- more time involved
• Reloading requires practice and is dexterous operation
• Even a speed reloader or strip require much practice to put a round in
each of five or six (or more) chambers
• Not as rugged generally regarding grit and grime (and for some finishes.)

My Personal Preference: For me personally, and I am not attempting to influence your personal decision, I myself personally consider a
9mm adequate for my self-defense, especially for concealed carry purposes.
While I sincerely appreciate larger caliber cartridges and have several
guns in large calibers, they are not my personal primary choice for carry.
No one should criticize me nor degrade me for my decision, since it is not
their decision, their life is not at stake, they don’t frequent the type of
places or locations that I usually frequent, they aren’t buying the gun or
my ammo, nor shooting it for my purpose. Again, this is a very personal
and individualistic choice depending on your goals and preferences.
Make the switch: For self and home defense, you should probably
switch from using Full Metal Jacket (FMJ) to Jacketed Hollow Points
(JHPs.) Hollow Points leave a bigger exit wound and in that rare instance of use for your defense, you want to induce as much trauma as
possible, because your life depends on it. Recognize that both .45 and
9mm bullets penetrate skin and bone, so both are more than enough for
My Reasoning: So why did I make the decision to carry a 9? My Self-Defense purpose.

unlikely, low probability, encounter with a bad perpetrator aggressor

Some say that the knock-down power of calibers is most important,
situation occurs, I want my muscle memory to automatically kick-in and so a .45 or larger caliber should always be used. The critical question
to be able to hit what I’m shooting at with accuracy and to be able to do so here is not which caliber has better stopping power, but rather does the

PAINESVILLE TOWNSHIP – Firearms enthusiasts
will be interested to know
Dempsey Auctions has its
second firearms sale coming
up Saturday, July 9.
“This one we’re going to
have right around 100 firearms in it, 20,000-plus rounds
of new ammunition,” said
auctioneer Dennis Dempsey.
A collection of more than
1,000 coins will also be up for
sale at the special auction.
The preview will start at
10:30 a.m. with the auction
commencing at noon.
Most of the firearms—
handguns, rifles, shotguns—
will be used, but there will
be about 20 or 30 new pieces.
Photos of all the items up
for sale can be found on the
Dempsey Auctions website.
“There’s a lot of good quality firearms,” Dempsey said.
Those wishing to purchase
firearms will need to fill out
forms prior to the start of the
auction and show either an
Ohio driver’s license or state
ID, with photo.
When the firearms pieces
are sold, auction employees
will immediately begin calling
for FBI background checks to
ensure they can legally purchase the items. If someone
purchases several pieces, only
one call will be required.
“Every time you buy a
firearm you have to fill out the
paperwork,” Dempsey said.
Although this auction is
special due to the number of
firearms being offered, the regular Thursday night auctions
usually have a few firearms for
sale as well.
He said the coin collection,
which includes many pre-1964
coins, some of which are graded, had just come in so he had
not seen all the pieces.
Many of the coins will be
sold in lots, but others of greater value will be sold individually.
Previously, when they had
large coin collections come in,
they were split up among a few
auctions, he said.
“This one is unique. We
had two big lots (of firearms)
come in at once,” Dempsey
said. “Then the coins came in
and we said this is going to be
a man’s toy auction basically.”
He explained that most
of the people who purchased
firearms and coins from him
were men.
Regular auctions are held
every Thursday night with
a preview at 5 p.m. and the
auction starting at 6 p.m.
“We run a two to two-anda-half hour auction weekly,”
Dempsey said. “We do it nice
and quick since many people
have to go to work the next
morning.”
They get items of all kinds
to auction, some being one-of-a
kind, while others are more
common.
Those who place their
items in a Thursday auction
have their checks in the mail
on Monday, so payment is
quick.
Dempsey Auctions is located behind Craft and Antique
Coop at 1871 North Ridge
Rd. (Route 20) in Painesville
Township.
