Lake Health Wellness
Center delayed by title search
BY GLEN MILLER
Gazette Newspapers
M E N T O R - P l a n s fo r a n
86,000-square-foot, $30 million
Lake Health wellness center in
Mentor have hit a snag as the
result of a property title search.
The title search required for the
transfer of the land to a private
developer of the wellness center
showed a little more than four
acres of the land is owned by the
City of Mentor at the corner of
Munson Road and Market Street.
It turns out the Mentor Board
of Education thought it owned all
9.6 acres, but only owns about
five acres of the land, according
to school district and city officials.
School officials were apparently
unaware the city had acquired a
portion of the land sometime during the late 1970s, Superintendent
Matt Miller said.
Mentor voters approved rezoning of the land for the wellness center from residential to commercial
use during the March 15 primary.
The discovery of the discrepancy and the opening of possible
negotiations between the city and
the school district was among the
topics discussed during a May 3
Mentor City Council executive
session. Council President Janet
Dowling and City Manager Kenneth Filipiak, however, said the
discussions will not be made public
until city officials or council discuss
it in public.
The Ohio Sunshine Law regulates public and closed meetings.
It prohibits the release of information discussed during executive
sessions or negotiations between
two parties until that information
is made public.
“We are just in the beginning
stages of this, so we cannot discuss
it further,” Dowling said, prior to
the council meeting.
Council was urged to resolve
the split ownership issue with the
School Board by Lake County Port
and Economic Development Executive Director Mark Rantala during
a council work session held prior to
the May 3 council meeting.
The proposed building will
further economic development in
Mentor, as well as provide another
source of health and wellness care
for area residents, Rantala said.
City officials did not comment
on Rantala’s statements during
the work session.
Following the subsequent council meeting, Filipiak said he has
no idea when council will publicly
discuss the outcome of negotiations
between the city and the school
board, or even if it will be publicly
discussed at the May 17 council

Mentor gets grant for
LCDU responds to concerns about sediment in lake
recycling expansion
BY MARIAN MCMAHON
BY GLEN MILLER
Gazette Newspapers
MENTOR - The City of Mentor
has received an $18,943 grant from
the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency to fund the second
phase of a recycling expansion in
the city’s parks system.
Recycling for 2015 and 2016
offers recycling opportunities at
the Mentor Lagoons Nature Preserve & Marina, Blackbrook Golf
Course, and Wildwood Cultural
Center. It was designed to begin
introducing recycling at public
events, including CityFest, according to Bonnie Rice, the Mentor
Public Works Department’s solid
waste coordinator.
Implementation of the second
phase will occur later this year and
in 2017. It will expand recycling
opportunities to Garfield Park,
Edward R. Walsh Park, the three
city swimming pools, as well as
more public events.
Among them will be the “Men-
tor Rocks” summer concert series,
the annual July 4 celebration
at Civic Center Park, various
softball tournaments, BeachFest,
Celebrate Earth Day, swimming
tournaments and the Farmers
Market, she said.
The grant also funds public education and awareness programs
to encourage visitors to city parks
and events to recycle in the proper
containers.
“It also will make them aware
of the additional opportunities for
recycling at other locations around
Mentor,” Rice said.
The program’s overall goal is to
increase the amount of recycling
materials collected, decrease the
amount of trash collected in Mentor parks and public facilities,
and reduce litter left in parks and
public lands each year, she said.
Mentor is among more than two
dozen communities to receive Ohio
EPA grant funding to help them
strengthen local recycling and litter prevention efforts.

LAKE COUNTY - John Muzic
of Painesville Township expressed
concern about the toxic sediment
in Lake Erie, reported to be from
the dredging of the Cuyahoga River shipping channel, at the Lake
County Board of Commissioners
meeting May 5. He wondered what
was known about it.
“I just wanted to share with the
residents of Lake County, we are
watching this,” said Jay Spetrino,
LCDU water superintendent. “I
have been told reports are saying it is moving. It’s not, to their
knowledge, moving very much.”
He said dredged sediment has
been contained in dikes since
passage of the Clean Water Act
of 1972. The materials of current
concern are from the dredgings
prior to that legislation being
passed.
Spetrino said the sediment
could be treated if it reached the
county’s intakes in the lake; it
would just cost more money to
do so.
The EPA is watching what is
called Area 1 and LCDU would be
forewarned before it came close.

WILLOUGHBY – Just like
the Native Americans who
have been on the move in
Lake County as early at 10,000
B.C., The Indian Museum is
packing up for a new home.
Currently located in the Technical Center at the Corner of
River Street and Center Street
in downtown Willoughby,
the museum is searching for
a new home.
Museum Director Ann
Dewald said she thinks a lease
to a new place may be on the
horizon, and she will let the
community know as soon as it
is official. In the meantime, it
is business as usual, since she
does not know when they will
be leaving their current home.
Dewald reported the official
statement by the Willoughby-Eastlake School District,
current owners of the building,
is “once we turn the heat off,
we will not turn it back on.”
The process has been very
amicable, but Dewald said it
has not been easy to find a
new home for the museum.
It has 50,000 items representing the earliest inhabitants of
Northeast Ohio from 10,000
B.C. to 1650 A.D. and Native
American arts and crafts from
all over North America from
1800 to the present.
“It has taken a long time
and we have looked many
places,” she said.
The unique museum,
launched in 1980 by the Lake
County chapter of the Archaeological Society of Ohio, offers
students and adults the opportunity to view such items
as various drums, headdresses, carved artifacts, jewelry,
paintings and drawings, rugs,
weapons, arrows, pottery,
baskets and much more.
In addition, hands-on activities include grinding corn

The museum is funded by
donations from individuals,
families, businesses, corporations and foundations and
the small fees of $2 for adults,
$1.50 for seniors and $1 for
children from kindergarten
through grade 12. Preschoolers are free.
Dewald is no stranger to
moving. After 25 years at Lake
Erie College, the museum was
moved to the current home in
February of 2006. She and her
volunteers did the packing
then as they are doing now.
“It took two big trucks to
move us then,” she said.
Little by little, they are
packing as much as they can
and still keep the museum effective. The public is welcome
at this time and programs
and workshops continue.
Dewald recommends calling
to make sure the museum is
open at (440) 951-3813. Hours
are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday

Police chief making his mark on department
BY MARIAN MCMAHON
Gazette Newspapers
PAINESVILLE – Anthony Powalie has only been
police chief since June 2014,
but he has already been
making his mark on the
Painesville Police Department with the changes he
has made.
Although he is chief and
guiding the department, he
does not take the credit for
the changes he has implemented so far.
“I’m nothing special, so I
don’t want to go, ‘I did this, I
did this,’” Powalie said. “It’s
not about me, it’s about the
agency. I can say, ‘Here’s
what I think we should be
doing,’ but it’s actually up to
the personnel to put it into
practice.”
He admits not everything
he intended to do worked
out. Some things just were
not feasible or practical, he
realized. For example, when
he tried to assign some officers to focus on some specific crimes, they often were
called to respond to other
Part 3 of a
4-Part Series
crimes. For that reason, he
had to re-think assignments
and use the officers where
they would have the most
impact on crimes.
Powalie said his job is
a balancing act because he
needs to be concerned every day with which officers
would be the best ones to
hire, where to deploy officers, what strategies to
employ to handle different
crimes and issues, and how
best to handle certain complaints from residents.
“One of the things I tell
the officers is, ‘The needs of
the community come first,”
he said.
Another change which
has been instituted has been
the effort to combine a number of Block Watch groups
into one. Limiting the number of groups makes it easier
to get information out to the
community. The chief also
attends as many meetings
as he can.
Powalie said even residents who do not have or do
not participate in a Block
Watch group can help the
police and their community.
They can do so by reporting
crimes and/or suspicious
activity. For example, he
noted, someone who just
calls and states someone is
dealing drugs on a street
corner does not really help.
However, giving a physical
description of the person and
what and how they are doing
something, when they are
doing it and so on, is more
beneficial.
Pictures and videos can
also be helpful.
“We have video cameras
here that we can sign out
to the public,” Powalie said.
The police can patrol specific areas, but may not
always catch people in criminal acts. By providing a
video camera, the police can
help a resident set up and
turn on the camera at a time
when the illegal activity is
likely to happen. The camera
would just be left running
until the tape or DVD is
full. Then the police would
have a video record of what
occurred.
The chief said there are
times when activities that
appeared suspicious were
recorded, but were not actually drug deals or other
illegal activity.
Powalie said people
should report events which
are not normal in their
neighborhoods. While often
it is nothing, it could indicate
something illegal happening, like a stranger driving
through an area a few days
in a row to pick up patterns
in the neighborhood. If a
resident reports it and the
stranger sees a police car
driving by it would deter
him.
“I think that we’re making some good improvements,” Powalie said. “We
still have some work to do,
but we’re developing our
officers; we’re helping the
kids in the community; we’re
working with the city; so
we’re all on the same path
and I think we’re doing
well.”
Old golf course to have fewer homes built on it
By Glen Miller
Gazette Newspapers
MENTOR - Fewer homes
will be built in a proposed
48-acre single-family home
subdivision located on the
Old Johnnycake Ridge Golf
Course than were originally
approved by the Mentor
Planning Commission earlier this year.
At its May 5 meeting, the
commission voted to allow
108 lots rather than the 120
lots initially approved by it.
A revised proposal submitted by the developers
eliminates existing B-2 zoning along Mentor Avenue
in favor of “green space”
setback approximately 215
feet from Mentor Avenue.
This involves removal of
three homes along both sides
of the entry drive from the
project by the developers
along with an increase in
the lot width of the proposed
lots.
These two changes result
in the elimination of 12 lots,
planning officials explained.
The housing project was
previously reviewed and approved by the Planning Commission in late January after
the golf course owner, Frank
DeMilta of Fraden, Inc.,
choose to close the facility
and convert it into a housing subdivision for economic
reasons, according
to Ric Spence, city
planning administrator.
At its Jan. 21
meeting, the Planning Commission
voted to approve
the re-zoning of a
portion of the golf
course from R-2 single-family residential to RVG, Village
Green.

meeting.
“We are aware that the
details of the land ownership between the City and
the School District are being
worked on and are hopeful that it can be resolved
quickly so that we can begin work on the medical
wellness center,” said Gary
Robinson, Lake Health vice
president government and
community affairs.
Miller also expressed
hope the split-ownership
issue can be resolved as
soon as possible so work
on the wellness center can
start this year without any
prolonged delay.
From page 1
Plans for the two-story,
wellness center were first
announced late last year
after the Mentor Planning
Commission voted 5-2 to
recommend Mentor City
Council place the proposal
on the March 15 ballot as a
zoning change referendum.
The property is to be
owned by the developer,
Wisconsin-based Boldt Company, which would lease the
building to Lake Health Systems on a long-term basis.
In addition to doctors’
offices, the building would
include wellness and fitness facilities that can be
used by the public for a fee,
an aquatic center, and an
urgent care that will replace
an existing facility now on
Tyler Boulevard.
Lake Health officials have
said the proposed building
will house about 150 medical professionals, including
sports medicine personnel,
therapy professionals and
preventive care.
The fitness center, including an aquatics area,
would primarily be used for
patients, but also would offer
memberships to the public,
as would parts of the aquatics center.
Lake Health Wellness Center plans include
a whirlpool and several
pools, one for warm-water
therapy, a leisure swimming pool and a six-lane lap
pool that Miller previously
has said would be used by
Mentor High School swim
teams. This would enable
the school district to save
money on bus transportation for its swim team,
which now trains at Spire
Sports Academy facilities in
Geneva, he explained.
There also have been some
discussions with Mentor Senior Center officials about
the possible development of
joint projects benefiting its
members, Miller said.
Trash collection and
water rates going up
BY GLEN MILLER
Gazette Newspapers
MENTOR - Mentor residents served by Waste Management and Aqua Ohio will
soon see higher rates.
A 2 percent yearly rate
increase for trash and recycling collection by Waste
Management is part of a new
five-year contract the city approved during a May 3 Mentor City Council meeting.
In addition to the trash
collection increase, City Manager Kenneth Filipiak announced in his report to Council that Aqua Ohio is seeking
a 9.2 percent rate increase for
Mentor water service from the
Ohio Public Utilities Commission (PUCO).
If approved by the PUCO,
it represents an increase of
about $3.30 per month for
customers using an average
of about 4,000 gallons per
month, the city manager said.
Aqua Ohio officials could
not be reached for comment.
The Waste Management
rate increase is the result
of recently completed negotiations between the city and
the company for continuation
of service that began nearly
five years ago and has resulted in improved trash collection service, Filipiak said.
The new contract is a fiveyear extension of the original
contract and closely mirrors
the terms of that initial
agreement, he added.
Since taking over citywide waste collection, Waste
Management has added curbside recycling by providing
customers with recycling
containers and upgraded yard
waste collection services.
“It is the administration’s
opinion that they have done
a very good job with waste
collection efforts during the
last five years,” Filipiak said.
It is unlikely rebidding
the contract would result
in a lower cost for two reasons: the current (economic)
“landscape” of the solid waste
industry, and Waste Management’s cost of providing
trash and recycling carts
to Mentor residents was
“a significant investment”
that will take the company
approximately five years to
pay off. A new refuse hauler
would have to make the same
kind of investment in trash
containers, Filipiak said.
The overall cost of trash
pickup and recycling by
Waste Management is actually lower now than it was
prior to the start of the soonto-expire contract and also
includes improved services.
“This is been a great contract for the city; it’s saved
us a lot of money up front,”
Filipiak said.
“It’s allowed us to close
the city’s Carter Road recycling center and, by all accounts, I think city residents
fully endorse the curbside
recycling program.”
There have been complaints, although Waste
Management has been responsive to concerns raised
by residents and councilmembers, Filipiak said.
The city manager and
others were commended by
Councilman-at-large Ray
Kirchner for their “creativity” in the negotiations with
Waste Management, and the
city’s desire to continue low-
cost recycling, a program
that has been abandoned by
several cities.
Councilmembers said
they have been asked by
residents if it was possible
for Waste Management to
provide larger recycling containers, an issue Filipiak
said he has discussed with
company officials.
Although Waste Management is willing to accommodate the request, the city
manager said the acquisition
cost of bigger containers
would be passed on to residents requesting them.
In other action, council:
• Approved a city incentive grant with Libra Industries, Inc., a 30-year-old Mentor electronics component
manufacturing company.
The firm’s planned expansion will create 77 new
jobs that will provide about
$1.6 million in additional
taxable payroll, according
to Ron Traub, city economic
and community development director.
The grant will return
approximately 40 percent
of the additional taxable
income to Libra Industries,
Traub explained.
• Authorized placement
of a traffic light at the westbound entrance to I-90 from
Center Street by the Ohio
Department of Transportation (ODOT).
The $200,000 traffic light
will reduce traffic congestion for northbound motorists on Center Street, allow
vehicles exiting I-90 easier
access, and reduce accidents
at the intersection. There
have been 20 crashes at
the intersection since 2012,
according to Mentor Police
Department records.
The traffic light will become city property after it is
installed by ODOT.
• Purchased a new street
sweeper for $197,992 from
the MTech Company, which
offered $13,000 for the city’s
existing street cleaner.
• Approved a contract
with Zerbe Construction,
LLC to replace a maintenance building at the Black
Brook Golf Course and Practice Center. The project was
rebid because Council previously rejected prior bids
because they were too high.
Zerbe’s low bid was
$377,000, which is about a
$5,000 savings, Filipiak said.
• Authorized a $283,819
contract with Willham Roofing, Inc. for a city hall roof
restoration project.
• Awarded a total of
$164,432 in city Community
Development Block Grants
(CDBG) to the following entities: Forbes House, $5,000;
The Lake County Free Clinic
Dental Program, $2,000;
Lake County Free Clinic
Medical Program, $4,000;
and Project Hope, $3,000.
Other grant recipients
were the Mentor Special

the 211 Call Center, $4,500;
Extended Housing, $1,500;
Western Reserve Community Development, $75,485
for single family home rehabilitation; the Fair Housing

CDBG program administration, $17,406 and the
addition of a restroom for
handicapped people at the

MENTOR - The Mentor
Planning Commission approved expansions for two
Mentor restaurants at its
May 5 meeting.
It gave permission for
Nick’s Gyros,and Red, Wine
& Brew, to build onto their
businesses.
Nick’s Gyros, 8764 Mentor Ave, plans to add a
433-square-foot, outdoor
covered patio at the front
of the restaurant. It will
include an overhead metal
frame canopy that is part of
a remodeling of the building, formerly a Burger King
restaurant purchased in
2006, according to Ronald
M. Traub, Mentor’s economic
& community development
director.
The patio will have space
for eight tables and a seating
capacity for 28 people.
The Planning Commission also authorized outside dining and drinking at
Nick’s Gyros during a public
hearing.
The Red, Wine & Brew,
9620 Old Johnnycake Ridge
Rd., renovation plans call
for building a 736-squarefoot addition to the rear of
the building along with a
453-square-foot open-air
patio deck.
The patio would have
space for seven tables and
28 chairs, and have a threefoot-high decorative fence
built around it.
The restaurant currently
has covered patios on the
north side of its building.
The proposed addition
will be a new entrance to
the restaurant located at
the rear of the building. It
will also include a storage
area and small kitchen expansion.
Planning officials expressed concern about parking, access for fire department vehicles and noise that
might emanate from the new
patio.
City fire officials said the
patio deck would block the
rear secondary access to the

building and recommended a
driveway be relocated.
That driveway was originally built to allow accessibility to an adjacent property
to handle overflow parking.
However, it has since been
chained off, they said.
The outdoor patio currently closes at 11 p.m. Sunday through Thursday, and
at 1 a.m. on Fridays and
Saturdays. Soft background
music is allowed until 9 p.m.
Sundays through Thursdays, until 10 p.m. Fridays
and Saturdays.
City planning officials
suggested the same operating hours be permitted for
the open patio.
Red, Wine & Brew opened
in early 2014 and a parking
lot expansion was approved
by the Planning Commission
later that year.
In other action, the planning commission held public
hearings on the following
conditional use permits for:
A charitable event to be
held yearly at the Dairy
Queen restaurant on Dia-
mond Center Drive.
A reduction of the buffer
zone requirement at Cleveland Plumbing Supply, 7272
Mentor Ave. The permit will
allow space for truck unloading at a 23,500 square-foot
warehouse addition also approved by the Planning Commission under new business.
The planning commission
also reviewed:
The transfer of a conditional use permit sought by
CJDPS Ltd., doing business
as Rounders Lounge and
Hatch Family Ltd Partnership.
A change in the location
of a clothing donation bin
at the Great Lakes Mall
benefiting the Ohio Special
Olympics. The bin must be
moved because its current
location will become the
future site of a new business.
An amendment to a
renovation plan sought by
the Pastina, a restaurant
at 9354 Mentor Ave. The
amendment allows a change
in the design of the restaurant’s roof.
Fire chief warns of phone scam
BY MARIAN MCMAHON
Gazette Newspapers
CONCORD TOWNSHIP
- Fire Chief Matt Sabo warned
the public that the Concord
Township Fire Department
was not calling people asking
for donations at the May 4
Board of Trustees meeting.
Those calls are a scam.
“We encourage you to
disengage that phone call
and do not send funds from
requests over the phone,”
he said.
Concord Township Safety
Day will be held for the community at Auburn Career
Center Sunday, May 15 from
noon to 3 p.m. with food,
interactive activities for all
ages, a text and drive simulator, water safety trailer,
fire safety trailer, blood
drive and more.
Sabo reported the department was the recipient of a
grant from Firehouse Subs
in Mentor.
“More lives will potentially be saved in Concord
Township with the 500 dualsensor smoke alarms and
long-life batteries received
by the Township from a Firehouse Subs Public Safety
Foundation Grant,” he said.
The alarms will be available to residents who cannot
install or maintain alarms
because of age, disability or
lack of finances.
“Concord Fire Department continues to accept
aluminum cans for recycling,” Sabo said. “We moved
the aluminum can recycle
center back by our dumpster, closer to the ball field.”
Proceeds from the aluminum go to the Fire Prevention Bureau.
The trustees accepted the
resignations of firefighters
Tim Brown and Steve Drapp.
A purchase order was
approved for $30,000 for a
chase car from Classic Ford
Lincoln.

Another resident asked if
Lake County was safe from
lead in the water like what
had happened in Flint, Mich.
“Essentially, what we’ve
done in terms of lead, our
department uses zinc orthophosphate in our water,’ said
Matt Armand, LCDU director of business operations.
“It’s an additive that we use
to ensure that any piping
that has any lead in it—it
actually produces a coating
preventing the lead (from
seeping) out.”
He noted LCDU removes
any lead piping it finds during any work it does. When
they find a customer has
lead piping on their private
property, they notify the customer and urge the piping be
replaced.
Armand said they do have
a “rigorous program” for
testing water for lead and
other contaminants, including sending out chemists
to locations of concern. He
added there have been no
reports of lead poisoning
from water in Lake County.
Water quality reports
are posted on the county
website.

Township snowplows get a makeover
BY MARIAN MCMAHON
Gazette Newspapers
PAINESVILLE TOWNSHIP – Seeing large snowplows heading down a street,
sending hundreds of pounds
of snow flying off the roadway can be an impressive
sight. However, this winter,
residents will have another
reason to watch the plows
in action—Riverside School
District students are painting them.
A Painesville Township
employee’s wife saw a news
story about another community having its plows
painted. So, the Painesville
Township Board of Trustees,
Service Department and the
school district partnered
to have a Paint the Plow
Project.
Three large plows and
a sidewalk plow were delivered to Riverside High
School April 20.
“The art students at the
high school submitted plans
to the art teacher, then the
top designs were chosen,”
said Service Director Bill
Thompson. “They used latex paint and then we put a
sealer on there.”
The project was made
possible through donations
of paint and discounted
painting supplies from Sherwin Williams in Painesville
Township.
Th e e l e m e n t a r y s t u-
dents will not be left out of
the fun, either. The Service
Department will drop off
plows for students at Madison Avenue, Hadden, Hale
and Buckeye elementary
schools to paint sometime
in May.
“It’s the first time we’ve
done it; we don’t know how
long it’s going to last,”
Thompson said. “If it only
lasts one winter, then maybe next year a whole new
group of students will have
a chance to use their designs.”
The completed plows will
be on display at Painesville
Township Family Fun Day to
be held Aug. 27 at the Lake
County History Center.

Taste of Mentor is stomach-filling success
By Glen Miller
Gazette Newspapers
MENTOR - Jill Charske
was finishing eating food she
had gathered from Taste of
Mentor restaurant vendors
when her husband, Bill, got
up and returned with three
plates filled with desserts.
“Where are you going to
put all of that?” she asked.
Bill just smiled and
looked down at his stomach,
adding, “I’ve gained weight
since we moved to Mentor
three years ago.”
The Charskes, of Mentor,
were among 350 people who
attended the April 20 Taste
of Mentor, a record number
according to Mentor Chamber of Commerce President
and CEO Al DiFranco.
Last year about 280 people came to Taste of Mentor,
he added.
The event started about
seven years ago as a showcase for Mentor and other
Lake County restaurants.
At first, the scrumptious
food-tasting event only
was open to chamber of
commerce members. That
changed about three years
ago when DiFranco said it
was renamed the Taste of
Mentor and opened to the
general public willing to pay
to sample delicious offerings
provided by a growing number of eateries.
It has grown ever since,
with 22 restaurants offering
food ranging from gourmet
sandwich cookies to baby
back ribs at this year’s event
inside the Mentor Ice Arena.
The restaurateurs included large chain eateries such as Bravo, Eat N’
Park, Max & Erma’s and
Moe’s Southwest Grill, local restaurants such as J’s
Pizza Market, Slice Pizzeria
and Edible Arrangements.
Among the smaller mom and
pop restaurants were Game
of Mentor and the Euclid
Fish Company.
The Beach Club Grill
offered a trio of meatballs
and lemon berry pound cake,
Krave served honey roasted
pork loin and other offerings, while visitors stopped
by Jimmy’s Backyard BBQ
for babyback ribs, smoked
wings and homemade peach
cobbler.
People stood in line to
get glasses of wine and beer
offered by World Wines &
and Liquor, and Red, Wine
& Brew, both of Mentor.

KidShow packs the mall
BY WJ KEACH
Gazette Newspapers
MENTOR – An April
snowfall was the perfect excuse to hang out at KidShow
at the Great Lakes Mall.
More than 80 exhibitors
from schools, sports, music,
camps and vacations shared
information with kids and
parents.
Pat Perry of ProMark Enterprises was the KidShow
producer.
“Having so many resources available all in one
place makes family decisionmaking and planning much
easier,” Perry said.
Designed to help busy
parents, vendors included
Lakeshore Learning, Barnes
and Noble, Mentor Public Library, Mentor Ridge Middle
School Art Club, Eat’n Park,
Willoughby-Eastlake Public
Library and the Fine Arts
Association.
The April 9 and 10 KidShow featured entertainment, crafts, cookie decorating, prizes, play area,
snack attacks, local authors,
roaming costume characters
and other activities.
The Ridge Middle School
Rock Orchestra rocked the
Macy’s concourse with –
what else – rock n roll.
The Lake County Juvenile Diabetes Walk Family
booth educated kids with
a sugar content display of
common beverages at KidShow.
LCJDWF president Terry
Mowery explained the reason for the exhibit.
“People don’t realize how
much sugar is in beverages
they consume every day.
The only drink that’s sugar
free is this bottled water,”
Mowery said, indicating a
12-ounce container.

Free senior health fair offered in Mentor
The fair is designed to get
information and resources
to seniors so they can make
informed decisions in improving their quality of life.

knowing what resources are
available and the health fair
allows people to get information on several agencies all
at the same time.
The mission of ASA, The
Association of Specialists
in Aging is to strengthen
the professionalism among
those who have chosen to
promote the well being of
older persons in Lake and
surrounding counties by
increasing the awareness of
aging as a specialized field
and by facilitating change
for the improvement of life
of older persons.

Center directly at (440) 9745725.

Swagelok sponsors Auburn’s RoboBot
CONCORD TOWNSHIP
– Auburn Career Center’s advanced manufacturing students
brainstormed with instructor
Terry Colescott and dedicated
countless hours working on this
year’s robobot for the AWT RoboBot Competition.
Swagelok sponsored Auburn Career Center’s robobot,
the Piecemaker. Prior to the
competition, Swagelok’s Reese
Armstrong and Bill Swan visited
the advanced manufacturing program to speak with the class. The
students proudly showed them
the Piecemaker and spoke about
some of the design challenges
and improvements that were
made to the robobot.
“The whole intent of the
robobot competition is to get
young people like you excited
and inspired about doing something that you can then convert to
a career that take you anywhere.
At Swagelok, we’re proud to be
a part of that,” Armstrong told
the class.
Armstrong spoke about the
challenges that manufacturing
industry and skilled trades are
facing with finding a skilled
workforce to replace the growing
number of retirees.
The students had the opportunity to ask questions and speak
with Armstrong and Swan.
“It’s liberating to get opportunities you haven’t had before
and have so many doors open.
Swagelok’s support means a lot
to us,” said advanced manufacturing student Jorge Orozco of
Chardon. “It’s like we (students)
are walking on a bridge and
they’re the support beams to get
us where we want to go. It’s great
that they’re here for us; we both
want the same thing.”
“It feels great to have a big
company like Swagelok interested in what we do at Auburn
and to help and support our
team, especially a company I’m
interested in working for,” said
advanced manufacturing student
Louie Soto of Riverside High
School.
“This is the best example of

industry and education working
together to get students on career
paths,” said Auburn Superintendent, Maggie Lynch.
Swagelok has been instrumental in supporting Auburn’s
manufacturing program at both
the high school and adult level.
This is the third consecutive year
that Swagelok has sponsored
Auburn’s robobot. They donated $2,000 each year towards
the robobot. In addition, they
participate in mock interviews,
are on the advisory board and
offer internships and full-time
employment opportunities to

Auburn superintendent Maggie Lynch (far left) and business partnership coordinator, Michelle Rodewald (far right). The talent pool coming out of
Auburn is the benchmark. It’s
the best we’ve seen,” Armstrong
told the students. “I’ve been with
Swagelok for 35 years and every
day I wake up looking forward to
going to work. There’s nothing
worse than doing something you
don’t like to do. Be passionate
about it, find a career you like
to do. If this is your passion,
it can take you anywhere you
want to go.”
Auburn’s Piecemaker had
four wins to tie for seventh place
in the 30 player, double elimination AWT RoboBot Competition. Terry Colescott, Auburn’s
advanced manufacturing instructor, was extremely proud of his
students and how far they made
it into the competition.
MCI fleet arrives for Laketran’s Park-n-Ride service Laketran installs first
Ribbon Cutting and
Open House, June 2
Lake County – Ten new
coach buses Laketran purchased
from Motor Coach Industries
arrived. The new 40-foot coach
buses replace 18-year-old buses
that provide over 175,000 annual commuter express trips to
and from Cleveland. Laketran’s
weekday Park-n-Ride service
operates 18 daily departures
from nine Park-n-Ride locations
connecting Lake County and
downtown Cleveland. Parking is
free for commuters and carpoolers and commuters travel for a
one-way fare of $3.75.
In 2015, Laketran awarded a
contract to Motor Coach Industries for a price of $611,921 per
bus for 10 buses.
The new buses were 80 percent federally funded with Congestion Mitigation Air Quality
(CMAQ) grants and 20 percent
with local matching funds. Laketran’s 0.25-percent local sales
tax revenue was budgeted to
provide the local match.
The new MCI buses features
include:
• the latest technology to
comply with the most recent
emission standards;
• newer engines and transmission to deliver better fuel
efficiency;
• high-back, reclining cushioned passenger seats with retracting seatbelts;
• overhead storage compartments;
• an annunciator system to
digitally announce both internally and externally pre-recorded
bus stops and transfer information for connecting Laketran and
RTA buses;
• automatic passenger counters to provide valuable information for operational route planning and reporting of required
statistics by the federal and state
agencies.
The new buses also have
on-board security cameras, automatic vehicle locators with
mobile data terminals, radios
compatible with first responder
frequencies, bike racks that hold
two bicycles, fire extinguishers,
first aid kits, blood born pathogen kits, a wheelchair lift; and
capacity to accommodate two
wheelchairs.
Laketran will host a community Ribbon Cutting and Open
House Thursday, June 2 at 9 a.m.
at Laketran’s Headquarters at
555 Lakeshore Blvd., Painesville
Township.
Laketran has also secured
funding to purchase four additional MCI coach buses to
replace the entire 1998 fleet.
Two buses will be funded by
CMAQ grants through NOACA
and the final two will be funded
by Ohio EPA’s Diesel Emissions
Reduction Grant (DERG) program funded through the Ohio
Department of Transportation.
Both grants fund air quality
improvements projects with 80
percent federal funding and 20
percent local match.
LED real-time arrival sign
Lake County – The days of waiting and wondering when
the bus is going to arrive will soon be gone for Laketran riders.
The first of a many upgrades coming in 2016 to enhance rider’s
use of the local public transportation system, Laketran has installed
an outdoor LED sign displaying real-time bus arrival information at
the Julie A. Cunningham Painesville Transfer Center.
The illuminated real-time arrival sign is synced with the on-board
GPS system to accurately display when the next bus will be arriving
at the bus stop. The sign display the next three routes to arrive, the
routes final destination, and how many minutes until the arrival of the
next bus. For example, Route 5 to Fairport Harbor is due in 6 minutes.
“Our goal is always to improve the customer experience. The
signs are a great tool for our riders, especially when waiting outside
in cold or rainy temperatures. If they know they have 20 minutes
before the next bus, they may prefer to go back inside or run another
errand while waiting, which is also a perk for local merchants,” said
Julia Schick, director of communications and marketing. “There is
also a general fear of the unknown for those who have never tried
public transportation. We’re hoping these signs attract new riders
who may be a little nervous giving Laketran a try for the first time.”
Additional signs will be installed at other major transfer areas
including Great Lakes Mall, Lakeland Community College, and
Shoregate Shopping Center. Laketran is working with the Greater
Cleveland Regional Transit Authority (GCRTA) to have signage at
the Shoregate bus stop that will display real-time arrival time for
Lake County. Annually, both Laketran and GCRTA routes.
Customers can also call Laketran’s Customer Service to find out
over 600 volunteers play
a vital role in the delivery when the next bus will arrive at their bus stop. Laketran plans to
process and provide a daily launch a new website feature later this year where you can locate
well-check on the seniors, your bus and the time it will arrive at each bus stop in real-time from
reporting any health and a computer or mobile device.
The cost of each sign is $15,000 and is 80 percent funded by
environmental changes or
crises they may observe federal a capital improvement grant with a local match.

Mentor - The Lake
County Council on Aging
has been awarded a $1,000
grant from the Meals On
Wheels Association of America (MOWAA) thanks to
Subaru of America. These

“I am humbled by your
decision to choose us as the
beneficiary of this year’s

“The selections are made
primarily on service to the
community,” Carl said. “For
the last 20 years, six people
have been chosen every
year. The honorees speak at
the high school to different
classes. The kids get so much
out of it, to see and hear from
people who have given back
to the community.”

Crank him up: If a tom is reluctant to gobble. Hit it with
loud, excited cutts and yelps. If it starts responding, keep
pouring it on until you work the bird into a frenzy. Don’t
let up; keep the bird coming until he’s almost within sight.
Then you should go easy on calling to avoid being busted.
Play him: If a tom gobbles to every call but stays in
place, hit him with a series of excited calls to work him into
a frenzy and then go silent for at least 20 minutes. The idea
that the hen has left could bring the longbeard looking.

Get up close: Roost a gobbler the night before and get as
close as you dare under cover of darkness the next morning
so you’re the first hen the tom hears. As soon as he gobbles,
hit him with a few soft tree yelps. Once he gobbles in response, be quiet. He knows you’re there. Just as it’s getting
light, toss out a fly-down cackle combined with flapping
your hat or a turkey wing to simulate a hen pitching down.

Mentor Public Library’s art club
for kids—got abstract during its
meeting on Monday, April 18.
First, they learned about the
life of Pablo Picasso. (His first
word was “pencil.”) Then they
practiced some of his abstraction techniques and used them
to draw self-portraits.
Every month, Studio MPL
takes on a new art project.
They’ve created imaginary
friends, made sun catchers,
painted sunsets, weaved and
even garnered inspiration from
Jackson Pollock.
Studio MPL meets at 4 p.m.
on the third Monday of each
month at Mentor Public Library’s
Main Branch, 8215 Mentor Ave.
If a child likes art—any kind of
art—they are welcome to join
the fun.
Next month’s session—the
last before its summer hiatus—
will be May 16.
Kids can sign up for Studio
MPL at www.mentorpl.org or

MEET MAXIE
My name is Maxie, and I am a beautiful, calm kitty.
I truly enjoy being petted, at which time I will cuddle
up against you and give head-butt hugs. And when
it’s play time, I will be the first one there. I came to the
shelter because my previous owner could no longer
care for me, and I now need to find my furever home
where I will receive the love and attention I deserve. So
if you are looking for an affectionate, playful, cuddly
companion who likes (demands) to be petted, just
ask for Maxie. Please come see me!

General Membership Meeting
May 2016
May 20, 2016 • 11:30 AM - 1:30 PM
Speaker: Marvin Montgomery
Topic: Master the Essential Keys to
Sales Success.
Join us as we all “Get Marvinized” and
learn the unexpected extras that make
the difference in customer service.
For over 30 years, Marvin Montgomery
has been “Marvinizing” thousands of
professionals through his professional
sales training courses, professional customer service training,
motivational keynote speeches, and professional sales training
books.
Get Marvinized?: The preparation and practice on specific sales
or customer service techniques before you serve our customer.
Marvin believes in an informative, practical and stimulating
message that reflects his basic philosophy: preparation and
practice are the keys to sales success. Never again will you utilize
the outdated training methods of “trial and error” and “learn
by doing.” In other words, stop practicing on your customers!
