The Bratenahl Lamplighter
Your Key To Unlock The Potential
Bratenahl is (arguably) home
to the highest concentration of
corporate magnates, power
brokers, and key decision
makers in the area. They drive
nice cars, appreciate the arts,
enjoy dining out and most
important to you, they have
the disposable income to
purchase the things they
want – the things you sell.
The Bratenahl Lamplighter is the only
publication that effectively reaches
every Bratenahl resident through mail,
personal delivery and the internet.

Each issue of The Lamplighter is
eagerly anticipated, read thoroughly,
and passed along to every member of
the household as well as others.
And because The Lamplighter is only
published four times a year, each issue
offers advertisers a long shelf life.
Judson Manor resident Jordan Perlman
has amassed over 8,000 volunteer
hours at Cleveland Clinic, greeting
patients and guests.
Jordan moved to the Manor because it
was convenient to all the things
important to him—his Clinic volunteer
position and Cleveland’s cultural scene.

Summer 2014, so long awaited, so eagerly
wished for, is flying by. By the time you
read this, it will be August, and the waning
days of summer will be upon us. As I write,
the view outside my window is the night
sky above Village Park, with the flamboyantly colorful fireworks
display celebrating the Fourth of July. I look forward each year
to this unmistakable symbol of our nation’s founding, reminding
me how blessed I am to be an American and how fortunate
I am to live in this beautiful village.

Exciting days are ahead for Bratenahl. Our Strategic Master
Plan, completed last year, is about to embark on its first phase–
a Facilities, Land, and Resource Assessment. Independent
consultants will look at our land and buildings, how they are
used, and what their condition is. They will use that information
to recommend to us how we can best use our resources and
how we can plan for the future to keep the village the vibrant,
unique community it is.
Friday September 5: Movie Night! Back by popular demand at
the home of Jim & Lori Zoss, the evening includes a buffet dinner,
a movie in the Zoss’s home theater, and a chance to see Jim’s
collection of antique projectors and movie reels. Look for more
details in this issue.

Featured Artist: Katie Kerns-Pilch
Cover art for this issue is titled
“When a Butterfly Flaps Its Wings
in the Rainforest,” inspired by former
United Nation’s Secretary General,
Kofi Annan’s comment: “When a
butterfly flaps its wings in the
rainforest it is a sound that can be
heard around the world.” Bratenahl
resident, Katie Kern-Pilch, a life-long
native of NE Ohio, applies this
philosophy in her art as well as her daily life. She is a ’78
graduate of Baldwin-Wallace (majoring in Psychology and
Art: Printmaking and Art History). In 1979, she earned a
Master’s Degree in Art Therapy from Goddard College in
Vermont and is licensed by the state of Ohio as a counselor.

When not making art, Katie applies her creativity to the
gardens at One Bratenahl Place and with Bratenahl Blooms.
She is also on the board of Bratenahl 100 and committee
member for the county ADAMHS board, advocating art
shows for local mental health customers.
Her husband, Dr. Fred Burger and daughter, Laurel Pilch
watch Katie take flight with her altruism and artistry.
Like the butterfly, her spirit engages others, and much
can be done with that positive creative energy.

Cleveland is now home to what may be the largest urban solar
field in the nation, benefiting East Cleveland, University Circle and
our neighbors in Wards 8 and 10. It is located on six acres on the
border of Cleveland and East Cleveland on Euclid Avenue, across
the street from Lakeview Cemetery. It is set to be “switched-on”
in July. The construction is being done by Evergreen Energy
Solutions, a local company that is 100% owned by its workers
who live in the city of Cleveland and who face barriers to
employment.

Urbanization and poor development practices have reduced the
ability of streams to handle large rain events, resulting in more
problematic flooding. These practices included increasing hard
surfaces such as sidewalks, driveways and roads, building within
the floodplain, removal of vegetation, and channeling of streams.
Reducing these practices will help protect streams and lessen
severe flooding.
What was once an old condemned building turned into a vacant
lot a year or so ago, will now transform into a productive use of
space, generating renewable energy. For $2.5 million, the project
is unique, consisting of four thousand panels, which will in-turn
produce enough energy for a small neighborhood. That energy
will be pumped into the Cleveland Public Power grid, enabling the
organization to spend less with Cleveland Public Power. Some of
Cleveland’s power that would typically come from coal-fired
production will now be coming from this grid.
One way that residents can help reduce the negative impacts of
flooding is to support practices and policies protecting riparian
areas. This includes landowners planting native plants, shrubs,
and trees along stream corridors. Studies have shown that
vegetated riparian zones can raise property values. If you are
unable to plant along the stream, avoid mowing right up to the
edge of the stream. Residents can also protect streams and reduce
flooding issues by supporting riparian setback ordinances within
their community.

and how to help protect them, visit http://www.epa.gov/glnpo/aoc/

Cleveland’s Going Solar
Spring showers bring May flowers and often flooding, too. Stream
bank flooding is a natural process that slows the flow of a stream,
allows sediment, organic matter and nutrients to be deposited,
and promotes groundwater recharge. In natural stream systems,
streams are able to flood over their banks into an area called the
riparian zone. Healthy riparian zones are wide (25 to 300 feet)
and have native plants, shrubs, and trees that help absorb water,
nutrients and hold soil and debris in place. These natural controls
help to maintain good water quality and habitats.
With a strong sense of social activism and understanding
of visual communication, Katie worked as a therapist at
MetroHealth Medical Center for 31 years using art to help
the patients recover and heal. Being an “Expert Witness/
Friend of the court,” she took artwork to trial as a voice
for abused children. An Adjunct Professor for 10 years
specializing in ethics, in Ursuline College’s Masters in Art
Therapy Counseling her passion continues to inspire
students. Currently she coordinates a program through
Ursuline for St. Jerome School called Art Adventures.
She is also working with the Cleveland Speech and Hearing
Center on art programming for stroke survivors and the
deaf community. Much like the butterfly, there are many
places she has landed.
After retiring from MetroHealth, Katie picked up her paintbrushes to study oriental techniques at the Art Museum
with Mitzi Lai or can be found in the basement of our
community center at the potter’s wheel. Her painting of a
Koi fish appeared in the CMA Members Magazine, March/
April 2013, and three oriental-styled watercolors were
displayed this summer in the Ursuline College Wasmer
Gallery “Healing Imagination” art show. The acrylic butterfly
painting done with airbrush exhibited at the Valley Art
Center in Chagrin Falls. Katie’s artwork lands in local
private and corporate collections.

Do you know someone who deserves special recognition?
We now have a feature for that!
“Village Shout Outs” might include anything from a 50th
anniversary to a marriage celebration to a new village baby
to someone in the Village who earned a special distinction or
received a special award. Or maybe you just want to recognize
a service provider who went above and beyond? To have your
“Village Shout Out” considered for The Lamplighter, email me
at [email protected]. Or Snail Mail it to Tim A. Schultz,
7 Haskell Drive, Bratenahl, OH 44108, Attn: Village Shout Outs.
From the Editor: A special “Shout Out” to Elaine Hopkins, Docent
for the Cleveland Museum of Art. Elaine recently gave a group of
us from Bratenahl a personal tour of the new Asia Gallery and the
new exhibit, Yoga: The Art of Transformation. It was educational,
insightful and lots of fun, lasting much longer than the scheduled
hour.
From Laura Bacci Merhaut: Congrats to the sons of Dee Filey Davis.
Quentin recently earned a high school Geography Internship at the
University of Maryland and was selected to apply for the National
Honor Society. Collin just earned a Varsity spot on the Central
Catholic Bowling Team.
From Arlene Kemejak: My refrigerator died last month and
I needed new. Unfortunately, nothing fits a “custom” home.
A big “Shout Out” to Somrak Kitchens, serving Bratenahl’s
custom needs for decades. The owner, Bob Sr., now 90,
answered the call and Bob Jr. personally came to my house
and solved my problem. Salute!
From Laura Bacci Merhaut: A great big “Shout Out” to lifelong
resident Andy Kesselem for giving Bratenahl a friendly
international face. Recently, a couple from Nova Scotia was
traveling through the area and experienced a blowout on their
RV trailer. Along with the police, Andy spent late hours after
midnight to provide all the assistance he could so that the
couple could get back on the road in the morning.

You split your time these days between Bratenahl and Houston.
How is that working?
It’s excellent! Houston’s economy is booming. Population is
growing, industry is thriving, and the business and cultural
scenes are vibrant, dynamic.
I remember your philanthropic outreach on BCF.
Have you transitioned that to Houston?
Yes. I am Director of Philanthropy for Morgan-Stanley’s Houston
office. I oversee two hundred-fifty employees, channeling their
generosity into a number of charitable causes. We recently held
our global volunteer month, where over 90% of our employees
volunteered. We also supported the Grow Clinic at Texas
Children’s Hospital through donations and volunteer hours.
Last year our office was named one of the top philanthropic
offices at Morgan-Stanley. We aren’t just about writing checks;
we do things, hands-on, for our community.
Is there more?
Yes. We raise funds for an umbrella group that supports the major
pet shelters in Houston. We sponsor Casual Fridays and donate
the proceeds to support needy families, and we assisted the
Houston Police Department to buy new equipment.
Do you have time for personal philanthropy?
Definitely. I was an honoree last year for C.A.P. (Citizens for
Animal Protection). I was responsible for raising over $100,000
for the charity. I am on the board of STAGES Theater where
we are in the middle of a $4,000,000 campaign to renovate the
theater and buy the building it is housed in.
Impressive! Does philanthropy cross over into your career?
I have added the qualification of Chartered Advisor of
Philanthropy to my job description. This helps me direct my
clients’ good fortune into finding charitable causes for them to
support, causes that inspire them and speak to their passions.
You are an investment advisor who helps people put money
into their pockets in order to give it away?
It’s a way of translating gains into gifts. There’s no conflict
between finance and philanthropy. One fuels the other.
I like tying the two together.
Why are you so driven to philanthropy?
Satisfaction comes from giving – inspiring people to become
actively involved in doing good things for others. It’s not enough
to just make money. It’s about having an impact on this earth.
I ask my clients how they want their children to remember them

VILLAGE SHOUT OUTS
Support Bratenahl’s Finest
– by counting their money, sleeping on a mattress stuffed with
gold but having done nothing to change the world, or in doing
good things to help people with their wealth. You can’t take it
with you, but you can shape the footprint you leave behind.
So while you earn a living, you’re helping to save the world?
My line of work gives me a wider reach than I could have
on my own.
Future plans?
In the second half of my life, I hope to retire in order to work
entirely for charity. I am also writing a book on how to teach
children to be good stewards of money.
Where did this passion for philanthropy come from?
My parents. My mom was all about giving to others. My dad was
the go-to guy in Ashtabula. Anyone who needed a favor would
go to my dad. Our house was where people came for help.
My parents taught me the Gospel message by example.
Why do you choose to keep a foothold in Bratenahl?
It’s a beautiful place with wonderful people, a small community
where people know each other and have each other’s backs.
It’s like Mayberry.
What causes in Bratenahl have you supported?
SALUTE! to benefit the police force and purchase a new
motorcycle, hosting a Halloween party at my home that raised
$10,000 for New Avenues to Independence Group Home to
remodel their outdated bathroom. Currently, I am working
with Officer Mike Flanagan in order to make the F.O.P. event
in September a success.
You have even sponsored this issue of the Lamplighter!
And I challenge someone else to sponsor the next one!

BYGONE
BRIGHTWOOD
Bill Beckenbach
Edward and Mary Williams developed “Brightwood” in about
1876 at the corner of Haldeman and Louis Avenues (now 9534
Lake Shore Drive) as a seven-acre gentleman’s farm and summer
home. The property included all the land to Garfield Avenue.
The “Brightwood” two-story frame house was executed in
the then-fashionable Stick Style, with an inviting veranda,
asymmetrical bays, pointed dormers and the decorative
“stick work” better known as gingerbread. The outbuildings
included a barn, a henhouse, a smokehouse, a greenhouse,
a storage shed and a windmill. Stone entrance pillars framed
the entry and a white-slat fence framed the property.
Returning to Cleveland, Williams invested $2,000 to become
the business partner of Henry Sherwin in February 3, 1870,
converting what had been the Truman Dunham Company into
Sherwin, Williams & Company. Of the two partners, Williams was
the better-educated and more business-minded, and was responsible for the development of the company’s sales staff. He also
engineered the acquisition of Calumet Paint Company, which
gave Sherwin Williams a strong foothold in the market for
industrial and railroad-car paints.
He was a director of Society for Savings,
Bankers’ Survey Company, Cleveland
Telephone Company, trustee of Western
Reserve University and Vice President of
the Chamber of Commerce. Williams was
one of the original founders of University
School as well as a vocational city school
for boys. He was reported to be a skilled
whist player who had a “masterful use of
profanity”. He was a member of the
Castalia Fishing, Country, Rofant, Union
and University Clubs.
In September 1902, Edward was taken ill and spent six months
at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore. He returned home, but
a short time later he began to fail and died May 4, 1903 of heart
failure at his home. Louise died March 24. 1905. Both are buried
in Lakeview Cemetery.
Edward Porter Williams was born May 10, 1843 in Cleveland.
He was next to the youngest of eight children born to William
and Laura Fitch Williams. At the age of sixteen he graduated
from Cleveland High School at the corner of Euclid Avenue
Aand Erie Street (East 9th Street). A year after graduation he
entered Hudson College, later known as Western Reserve
University, receiving a Bachelor Degree in 1864.
Immediately after graduation he entered the Army, enlisting in
85th Ohio Volunteers. He held a short term assignment at Camp
Chase in Columbus guarding Confederate prisoners, and then he
participated in the Battle of Vicksburg. Returning from the Army,
he founded the firm of Day, Williams & Co. a manufacturer of
glass in Kent, Ohio.
During his college days, Edward attended a fraternity convention
in Utica, New York. It was there that he met and eventually
married Mary Louise Mason July 22, 1869. They had four
children, Edward, Sarah (Garfield), Lewis, and Reba (Baldwin).

Bratenahl’s Man Behind The Projector
Tim A. Schultz
If you’re ever lucky enough to be invited to Jim and Lori Zaas’
house to watch a movie, you are in for a major surprise and an
evening you will not soon forget. The reason, unlike most of us
with a common Blu-Ray player and wide screen TV, Jim Zaas
has a complete working movie theater built into the basement
of his Haskell home.
A Passion For Projection
Jim’s lifelong fascination with film projection started when he
was only six years old. When Jim’s father was hospitalized with
multiple sclerosis, his Uncle Lou made it a point to visit almost
every week. A movie buff, Lou would bring along his own projector
and movie to entertain Jim’s dad, as well any patient who wanted
to watch. To see his dad, Jim usually came along. Interestingly
enough, the movies that Uncle Lou showed held little interest for
Jim. Instead, he was fascinated by the mechanics behind the show.
And because of that fascination, Uncle Lou soon bought Jim his
first 8 mm projector. At the age of 7, Jim started showing 8 mm
silent movies to his buddies. Then, after Jim’s uncle bought him
his first 16 mm projector at the age of 12, Jim’s passion for
projection really took off. During junior high and high school,
Jim was the movie guy, routinely showing fellow students films
during recess and lunch. Jim was the go-to guy for film projection
for good reason: he was often the only one who knew how to
operate the projectors.
Although Jim’s real passion was projection, it takes a movie to
make a show. At 12 years old (and after his first couple of projectors), Jim began collecting films. For every Christmas and birthday,
Jim could count on at least one new movie from his uncle and
mother. Then, at age 30, Jim took his collection to the next level.
When Sunray Films went out of business, he made his first major
purchase, buying 135 feature films for $18 each. Today, Jim owns
over 550 films, including 180 in 35 mm format, each nicely stored
on multiple 45-pound reels, the same large film format still used
by most local theaters. (Today, some theaters are switching to
digitally downloaded movies on a
hard drive. No more celluloid.)
Inside The Zaas Theater
Movie night at the Zaas house is guaranteed to impress.
On the way to his in-house theater, you first pass through a
veritable museum. You’ll see 18 projectors from his collection
of 40 on display, each one with its own special story. There is
an exact replica of that first Bell & Howell projector that Uncle
Lou used to entertain his dad. There are also exact replicas of
Jim’s first 8 mm and 16 mm projectors, as well replicas of the
projectors that Jim worked on in junior high and high school.
But that’s the museum. It’s show time.
Jim’s in-house theater is 18 feet wide by 30 feet long with 12
recliners in a stadium-seating format. As you walk up the sloped
incline to find your seat, you are guided by theater-stair lighting.
The screen is 13-1/2 feet wide by 6-1/2 feet high for a perfect
Cinemascope aspect ratio of 2.35:1. And as far as those noisy
projectors go, you won’t have to worry. They are in an elevated
enclosed projection room, which is behind and separate from
the theater.
The projection room includes one 16 mm projector and two 35
mm film projectors retrofitted with Xenon lamps. Built in 1947,
these 500-pound Motiograph projectors were considered the
Rolls Royce of film projection prior to the digital age. Jim has also
added a digital projection unit for DVDs and Blu-Rays. To house
all of his feature films, he added a warehouse and storage facility
behind the projection room that is 15 feet by 20 feet. Then, to
make certain that his theater area, projection room and storage
facility are all climate-controlled, providing less humidity and
adequate ventilation, he even added a separate furnace.
With respect to Jim’s personal tastes in film, you will find plenty
of comedies and science fiction. It’s no wonder that one of his
favorites is, “It’s A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World,” a movie with
special meaning. Married to Lori for 43 years, this was the feature
film they saw together on their first date.
You might wonder if Jim made any mistakes having a theater
built into his new Haskell home. Considering that it was his third
effort at installing a theater into a house, he got it right. He even
used the same builder who was responsible for constructing the
last two theaters in both of Jim’s homes in Moreland Hills and
Chagrin Falls.
So why does he do it? According to Jim, “I don’t sing. I don’t
dance. I can’t entertain anyone. But I get tremendous satisfaction
putting on a show and seeing friends enjoy a movie in my home
entertainment center.”
Last year’s Movie Night at the Zaas’ house went so well,
we decided to do it again. See Page 17 for details.

The shelter opened in April of 2004 and as of the summer of 2013, the shelter has successfully
adopted out more than 19,500 pets to loving homes in the community. The Northeast Ohio
SPCA is a non-profit, private agency and receives no government funding. The shelter relies on
donations and support from members in the community.
Our Mission:
Through adoption, spay and neuter, and education, we save lives to make
euthanasia of healthy animals unnecessary.

VILLA G E
The View from Village Hall
Eliott Longley, A Man of Honor
Mayor John Licastro
Mary Beckenbach
As summer in Northeast Ohio progresses,
we are all enjoying the beautiful weather
that almost seems a reward for the brutal
winter we were forced to endure. I hope
you are able to take advantage of this
too-short-of-a-season before colder
weather again becomes a reality.
Eliott Longley exemplified (in every way)
how to be the best that he could be.
He was the consummate police
professional with an unflappable
demeanor while being a friend to
everyone he served in the Village
of Bratenahl. It has been my distinct
pleasure to be associated with him.
The manner in which this Council is functioning is a refreshing
change from the last several years. A majority vote has passed
sweeping legislation that upgraded the compensation for our
employees. Bratenahl has always prioritized substance over
”fluff“, people over ‘bling.” The Village has embraced a
common sense approach with the tax dollars we spend to
maintain a beautiful appearance without being gaudy or crass.
We realize that it is the services we provide and the qualified
people we hire that give us the quality of life we have come
to expect in Bratenahl.
I further applaud the effort to conduct a thorough study of our
Village facilities and land use. Allegro Realty, with Chris Ronayne,
President of University Circle Foundation as a member of the
team, will help lead this project with the expanded Master Plan
Committee and Village Administration as partners. Please help
by participating in this public process and giving your insight
and input.
The General Assembly in Columbus continues with an agenda
that has had a negative effect on local governments. Mayor’s
Associations across the State have pooled efforts to amend
proposed legislation introduced in the General Assembly
to minimize the loss of revenue to local governments.
The Northeast Ohio Mayors and City Managers Association
(NEOMCMA) has taken a leading role in this effort. As current
Chair, I have spent considerable time in Columbus meeting with
Legislators to be certain our voices are heard. We hope to have
several pieces of proposed legislation amended before they are
passed by year-end. The local government fund has been cut
and estate tax eliminated. Communities cannot afford any
further losses in revenue from the State.
We hope to see you at our meetings. I close, as always,
with the refrain from Bratenahl’s school song:
…she is the best, the very best, all Hail to Bratenahl!
The Bratenahl Community Foundation extends an invitation to the Mayor
and all Village Council members and committee chairs to submit articles.
Those that are received are published unedited in the Lamplighter as a
community service. The views, positions and opinions expressed are not
necessarily those of the Foundation.

AFFA I R S
I first met Eliott in 1999 when I stopped to
visit Village Hall to speak with then, Mayor Dick McKeon about the
possibility of my volunteering in the Village. A handsome young
uniformed officer introduced himself and gave me a personalized
tour of the Police Department. I was both surprised and honored
that an officer would take the time to initiate a resident.
Eliott began his career with the Bratenahl Police Department
October 15th 1984 as a Patrolman under Chief George Wallo
and Mayor Dick McKeon.
Richard Dolbow soon learned that Eliott’s style of law enforcement
embodied the art of community policing before the term became
commonplace. He truly cared about his residents and the
community at large, and it was demonstrated in his every day
communications with his peers and residents.
Eliott’s personnel file is filled with letters of appreciation from all
of us who had an occasion to experience his generosity, kindness
and commitment to our Village and its residents. His helping
hand to neighbors during his routine patrols was well known
and valued. He protected us every day and throughout us
tenure always thought of others before himself.
Eliott suffered a few injuries on the job in pursuit of felons over
the years, always returning to work with a new perspective and
a strong desire to share his strengths and weaknesses with his
peers in hopes of educating them so they may safely return
home to their families each night.
When Sergeant Richard Dolbow became Chief of Police, one
of his first goals was to promote Eliott to Sergeant, a position
he richly deserved. On February 8th, 2010 Eliott Longley swore
the Oath of Office in his new position as Sergeant by Mayor
John Licastro. Eliott transitioned to his new role expertly and
performed exceedingly well running second shift for the
remainder of his career.

Bratenahl Master Plan
Erin Smith
Next steps in the Master Plan: breakdown the best use of Land,
Facilities, and Programing in our village, as well as create a capital
plan, a financial plan and a building/needs assessment plan.
All results from these plans will be based on financial analysis,
with return on investment prioritization and consideration around
demographics within our village. The top three options that come
from the plan will also be coupled with recommendations on
how to find the appropriate resources to fund the project
improvements to help grow our village.
To complete these plans, the following group was formed to
help move all project planning and project execution forward:
Council Committee: Erin Smith (Head of the Committee),
Jim Puffenberger and Laura Bacci.
A F FA IR S
All information on progress reports, public participation
meetings and project planning milestones being met will be
posted on the Village Website.
Please get involved, we need your support and feedback. If you
want to be a part of a monthly status report on how the Master
Plan is coming along, please email Erin Smith at esmith@
bratenal.org and/or call anytime with questions, Erin Smith
Cell Phone Number 216-659-3497.
Thank you for all the Village Support and especially from the
Master Plan Committee – Erin Smith
The Bratenahl Community Foundation extends an invitation to the Mayor
and all Village Council members and committee chairs to submit articles.
Those that are received are published unedited in the Lamplighter as a
community service. The views, positions and opinions expressed are not
necessarily those of the Foundation.
Mayor, John Licastro, and our Citizen Advisory Committee (CAC):
Tom McDonald and Leslie Yerkes (Co-Heads of the CAC),
Gina Huffman, Lucy Weller, Jan Purdy, Cassandra Williams and
Joyce-Burke Jones.
Our committee has selected Allegro Realty Advisors, who have
also partnered with Public Square Advisors (headed by Chris
Ronayne). This team of consultants includes a certified architect
as well as an engineering firm to help complete the building
assessments and evaluations. This consulting team will be fully
involved with the community and will be hands-on, transparent
and proactive in communication to Bratenahl Village on status
reports. We have one point person from the consulting group
who will then update the Mayor and Erin Smith. The Mayor and
Erin Smith will then disseminate and cascade the scope of work
and deliverables to the village to gain support in the project
planning initiative.
This entire project should be done in six months, so we will need
all the support we can have from our committee and community.
The time clock for project kick-off has started June 30th 2014.
We have had one public meeting to understand full scope of
the project as well as set-up times where the consultants will
interview the service department, community center, village hall
administration, Citizen Advisory Committee and village residents
to aid-in all master planning progress. We have also put together
a financial model to forecast village finances for 2014 as well
and into 2015. This will be updated quarterly going forward by
Finance Committee from the council team. We have also
allocated funds every year to a capital budget to help offset
some of the costs that we incur in capital projects.
Eliott retired on March 31, 2014 resulting from a routine minor
surgery that went terribly wrong, leaving him with a permanent
injury. Let us continue to remember Eliott and his 30 years of
service to the Village of Bratenahl. His smiling face and kind
heart will be missed by all of us.

ZAAS MOVIE NIGHT BENEFIT 2
Last year was a blast! This year should be even better!
Private Investigator:
The Jeffrey Blake Case
From the Files of Jan Mitchell
Things are not always as they appear. I’ve been an investigator
for 25 years, and earned my stripes working criminal cases on the
streets of New York City. Lady Justice, blindfolded, decides guilt
or innocence, sometimes based on limited or wrong information.
The investigator’s job is to track down the facts while the clock is
ticking. Sometimes the clock runs down too soon. An innocent
person gets snagged in a net with no way out.
In one such case, an attorney, who believed her former client,
Jeffrey Blake, was innocent but could not prove it, asked me to
look over his case. Previous investigators found nothing new or
helpful. All Blake’s appeals were exhausted. He was serving his
8th year of a 35-to-life sentence for a double homicide. Two men,
sitting in a car on a hot summer day in Brooklyn, New York, were
shot to death. Blake was fingered and convicted on the testimony
of one eye witness, Dana Garner.
I began reading the original trial transcripts. When I read Garner’s
testimony, red flags were waving in my head. Garner said he
and a woman hitchhiked from S. Carolina to his Brooklyn home.
Upon arrival, they both witnessed Blake shoot the men.
The girl then walked to Garner’s aunt’s house and took a niece
and nephew to the park. I scoured the records for her testimony,
a statement, an interview, notes, her full name, anything, but
found nothing. She was the key. I had to find her.
Nothing could stop me now. I eventually found her living in a
cinderblock shack with a pot belly stove for heat, and no phone,
in rural South Carolina. “Oh yes, we hitchhiked there, but we
didn’t see no murders,” she said. She laughed, “Dana makes
stuff up all the time. Everybody knows that down here.” She
agreed to testify. I found Garner in Riker’s Island. Since the statute
of limitations on perjury was up, he agreed to take a lie detector
test. He passed with flying colors that he didn’t see Blake shoot
the men. Garner had been pressured by a Detective to be a
witness in exchange for not being charged with a burglary.
Re-read the article about the remarkable built-in Movie
Theater and Projector Museum in the home of Jimi & Lori
Zaas. Then join BCF neighbors and friends and experience
it firsthand. But call today. Jim & Lori will only host a limited
number of guests for another evening of great food and
wine, great fun, and of course... a movie.
After examining all my newly found evidence, the judge who sent
Blake away, said he had been fooled by a pathological liar, Garner,
and vacated Blake’s conviction. The judge added, “The criminal
justice system works. Justice has now been served.” Jeffrey Blake
walked out of court and into the sunshine, a free man.

We could not be more pleased to add “From The Files of
Jan Mitchell–Private Investigator” to our Lamplighter family
of contributors. Jan Mitchell retired last December from the
Federal Judiciary, where she served as Investigator for 25 years.
She is now a licensed private investigator living in One Bratenahl
Place. (Jan received a Proclamation from the City of New York
for Outstanding Dedication to Justice for breaking the case she
discusses above. She was also interviewed on Court TV,
along with Jeffrey Blake and the attorney.)
