Town Talk
Fourth of July Festival Chair Marty Landon is
seeking volunteers to join the Fourth of July Festival
Committee. This year’s Festival begins June 30 and runs
through midnight, July 3, with fireworks over Lake Erie
around 10 p.m. Sunday, July 3. Landon says that gives
everyone a chance to recuperate on July 4 before going
back to work. Landon hopes to present the “Conneaut’s
Got Talent” competition that had to be cancelled last
year due to lack of interest. Now is the time to begin
thinking about entering. The city’s Fourth of July Festival Committee meets 7 p.m. Tuesdays. If you would
like to be a part of it, contact Landon at 440-862-3973.
Connneaut High School Lebanese exchange
student Majd Al Halabi is volunteering to help the
Conneaut Arts Center’s Youth Theater production of
“Schoolhouse Rock, Jr.,” this weekend at Arlene’s Broadway on Buffalo. He is not only working the sound board,
but during a scene that called for each of the 14 cast
members to wear hats, he offered an authentic Lebanese
fez. It will be used.
Speaking of Arlene’s Broadway on Buffalo, “Steel
Magnolias” will be presented at 7:30 p.m. March 1113 and 18-20. Director is Doug Anderson of Conneaut.
Tickets are $10 and available at the door.
Congratulations to Joslin-Landis Insurance, celebrating its 20th anniversary on March 5. Its newest
employee is Michael Bartone, who is heading up the
Fourth of July parade during the Fourth of July Festival.
“The parade is going to be huge,” he promises.
A sure sign of spring is the resuming of the monthly
meetings of the Conneaut Township Park Board at
6:30 p.m. Wednesday, March 9, at the Park Office, 480
Lake Road.
Conneaut High School will host a Spring Craft and
Vendor Fair 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. March 19 at the high
school, 381 Mill Street.
The Conneaut Area City Schools Board of Education celebrated following a difficult meeting Feb. 24 not
by going to Disney World, but by heading to Conneaut
Dairy Queen to support Blizzard Day.
Standing in line there to buy a Blizzard or two for
“Blizzard Day,” Conneaut’s Rick Chicatelli said everyone
could have stayed home on a cold, dank evening. “I could
have been sitting home watching TV,” he said, singling
out Conneaut DQ’s Keith Schreiber for coming up with a
great win/win event to support food cupboards in the city’s
schools. “If Keith doesn’t do it, no one would,” he said.
Letters To The Editor
Trash Talk
Dear Editor:
www.facebook.com/gazettenewspaper
There is great controversy and unrest now in the City
of Conneaut. The subject is not drugs or lack of jobs. The
problem is garbage. Trash.
City Council has put forth a prospective ordinance to
gather bids for a “one hauler” city contract to take care
of the garbage in town. The winning hauler would also
do re-cycling of certain items over and above the expense
of taking the garbage. Small haulers in the city note
that a “one-hauler” city would kill competition, making
a monopoly of the “one hauler” and ultimately cost the
consumer down the road with rate increases, now that
they lack the competition of other haulers.
Ostensibly the city has gotten a memo or a mandate
from the EPA to recycle. What that says is still unclear.
There are many things that are unclear at this point.
First, who will do the billing?
How would that work?
Would the city bill the customers and then pay the
hauler?
Would the city put it on the water bills of residents?
What if they don’t pay? Would their water be shut off?
How would the ordinance be enforced?
If you rent, is it your responsibility or your landlord’s
to pay the bill?
How will the city decide who has to be a customer
and who doesn’t?
If you already have a trash-hauler under contract,
do you have to switch to the city’s chosen trash hauler?
How would you identify who has to be part of this?
There are many more questions that need to be
answered before a true and fair consensus is reached.
When they are, I think a voted referendum of “the
people,” on a ballot, should follow.

Conneaut Area City Schools Could End 2016-17 Academic Year Before Memorial Day
By MARTHA SOROHAN
Gazette Newspapers
14, 17, 18, 19. 20, and 21.
Students are also excused
from classes on four Teacher
Work Days: Nov. 11, Feb. 10,
May 5 and May 26.
Early dismissal is proposed for Friday, Oct. 21;
Thursday, Dec. 22; and Friday, March 10, 2017.
Teachers are scheduled
to work 182 days, starting
the year with convocation
day on Thursday, Aug. 18,
and their first work day on
Monday, Aug. 22.
But CBOE member Cris
Newcomb suggested another
convocation day, saying that
teachers would be required
to come in on a Thursday,
then not have to report until
the following Monday.
“It seems strange to skip
a day and then come back
Monday,” he said.
Conneaut Area City
Schools Superintendent Michael Notar explained that
Convocation Day is typically
the Friday prior to the start
of classes, but that school
buses may be tied up, and
traffic an issue on Friday,
Aug. 19, the first day of the
D-Day Event; hence Convocation Day was pushed back.
Notar said if Convocation Day were pushed up to
CONNEAUT - Conneaut
Area City Schools Board of
Education unveiled its proposed academic calendar for
2016-17 last week, and if adopted by the board, students
could be done with school
next year before Memorial
Day weekend.
A public hearing relative
to the calendar was part of
the school board’s Feb. 24
meeting at Conneaut High
School, but no one stepped
forward with comment.
“Being finished before
Memorial Day is great for
families and teachers,” said
Superintendent Michael
Notar.
The 174-day calendar
begins for students on Tuesday, Aug. 23, 2016, and ends
on Thursday, May 25, 2017.
Students have no classes on Labor day, Sept. 5;
NEOEA Day on Oct. 14; Fall
Break Nov. 24, 25, and 28;
Winter Break Dec. 23, 26,
26, 28, 29, 30, and Jan. 2,
2017; Martin Luther King,
Jr., Day, Jan. 16; President’s Day Recess Feb. 17
and 20; Spring Break April
Monday, Aug. 22, which at
present is scheduled as an
all-day teachers’ work day,
the teachers would have
to make up that day on
Monday, May 30 instead of
Friday, May 26, before the
Memorial Day weekend.
Notar said that the students’ day off on Monday,
Nov. 28, is a “make-up” day
for teachers for the two fourhour evenings at ParentTeacher Conference on Nov.
8 and 10.
Notar also said that due
to the way the calendar falls,
students are not getting a
full two weeks of Winter
Break.
“If we did, that means the
students would not be going
back to school until Monday,
Jan. 9, and we can’t answer
to the community,” he said.
With the exception of Jefferson Local Schools, which
set its first day next year on
Monday, Aug. 15, the other
Ashtabula County public
school district calendars are
very similar to Conneaut’s.
Pymatuning Valley’s proposed 2016-17 calendar is
identical to Conneaut, while
Buckeye is slated to start
classes on Wed., Aug. 24,
with the last day of classes
for students on Thursday,
June 1.
The 174 days of classroom
instruction comes down to
1,183 instructional hours for
Conneaut High School;1,186
for Conneaut Middle School;
and 1,068 hours for Gateway Elementary School and
Lakeshore Primary School.
The Ohio Department of
Education began requiring
two years ago a set number
of educational hours, rather
than days, for public schools.
The instructional hours in
the Conneaut district exceeds the ODE minimum.
The Conneaut Area City
Schools Board of Education
is slated to vote on the 201617 school calendar at its next
meeting March 23.
In other news at the
board meeting, a one-year
contract was approved for
classified employee/bus
driver Laura Campbell. She
was approved as a 2.25-hour
bus aide, $11.29 per hour,
effective Feb. 22; and as a
bus driver, $13.53 per hour,
effective Jan. 25. She drives
three hours from Monday
through Thursday and 2.75
hours on Friday.
Richard Kardos and Laura Ring were employed as
substitute classified personnel. Linda Heinonen, cafeteria, was approved for 6.25
hours from 6 hours; Pauline
Jarvi, transportation, was
approved 4.5 hours, effective
Jan. 25; and Robin Williams,
clerical, was approved 6.5
hours at $11.63 per hour,
effective Feb. 1.
Mike Sanford was approved as a Level 1 volunteer in the district athletic program for the current
school year.
The board accepted
with regret the resignation, due to retirement,
of school nurse Grace
Tuuri, effective May 31.
Board members described
Tuuri as “incredible” and
said the district will be losing “a tremendous asset.”
Sue Nickels, paraprofessional at Lakeshore Primary School, is also retiring
March 23.
Notar said he had come to
know Nickels while filling in
for Lakeshore Principal Jim
Kennedy in January.
“She is the most bubbly
person. She always has a
smile,” he said.
The board also approved
one-year supplemental contracts for the 2016-17 school
year for Dan Sommers, CHS

CONNEAUT – Conneaut’s Boy Scout Troop 34
took first place in last weekend’s Klondike winter campout at Camp Stigwandish in
Thompson.
Sponsored by the Greater
Western Reserve Council and hosted by the Boy
Scouts of America’s Grand
River District, the Klondike
consists of a weekend campout with Saturday competitions: fire building, cooking,
first aid, signal flags and
orienting.
Each troop enters a
group of boys called a “patrol,” and each patrol has an
old-style Klondike sled that
carries all of their necessary
supplies and equipment.
“Unlike the 1800’s,
when the sleds were pulled
through the snow by dogs,
the sleds used at the Scout
event are pulled by the
boys,” said Troop 34 leader
Jack Sabo. “Unfortunately
for the boys, the weekend
temperatures were unseasonably warm. Instead of
having to deal with snow,
the boys had to muscle their
sleds through mud.”
Troop 34 entered two
patrols into the Klondike;
The Flaming Griffins and
the Fallout Patrol.
“Both performed well
considering the change in
the climate,” Sabo said.
The Flaming Griffins,
led by Senior Patrol Leader
George Kroeger and Patrol
Leader Kevin Henderson,
came out on top, ending the
day with the highest score
overall among 18 patrols
with 132 points.
Troop 34’s other patrol,
“Fallout,” consists mostly of
boys who just crossed into
Boy Scouts in December,
Including Troop Guide Jacob Sabo and Patrol Leader
Chris Jewell.
Each patrol was able to
use its points to bid for new
troop equipment for the troop
at the “Klondike Auction” at
the end of the day.
Troop 34 was able to attain a Tomahawk-throwing
backstop and high quality
water jug.
Most important, at the
end of the day, Troop 34
was written into the Grand
River District history as the
Klondike Champion of 2016.
“It’s just another accomplishment for the Troop’s
long history, and, for this
group of hard-working, determined boys, one of many
to come,” Sabo said.
The Flaming Griffin Patrol consisted of Senior Patrol Leader George Kroeger,
Patrol Leader Kevin Henderson, Assistant Patrol Leader
Danny Henderson, Malachai
Rossiter and Robbie Beals.
The Fallout Patrol consists of Troop Guide Jacob
Sabo, Patrol Leader Chris
Jewell and Harrison Cleveland, Drew Walbridge, Ryan
Sullivan and Matt Van Epps.
Troop 34 welcomes boys
ages 10 to 18 to attend
meetings 7 p.m. Mondays
at First Congregational
United Church of Christ at
Main and Buffalo Streets,
especially boys interested
in camping, outdoor skills,
general learning and fun.

CAC’s Beginning Quilting Class Teacher Wants To Pass On Art of Quilting To A New Generation
Rae Van Der Motter
By MARTHA SOROHAN
Gazette Newspapers
CONNEAUT – Rae Van
Der Motter remembers
what it was like to be a
beginning quilter.
That was about 25 years
ago, and she’s been an avid
quilter ever since.
Van Der Motter will use
her teaching and quilting
skills to lead a Beginning
Quilting Class at the Conneaut Arts Center. The
seven-week class will be
held 7 to 9 p.m. Mondays
in the CAC Annex, starting
March 7.
A n e w c o m e r t o C o nneaut, Van Der Motter
arrived last fall when her
husband, the Rev. Patrick
Van Der Motter, was called
as pastor of Good Shepherd
Lutheran Church. She describes herself an “avid”
quilter who always enjoyed
sewing and was drawn to
quilts.
“When someone mentioned to me that the Conneaut Arts Center was looking for someone to teach
quilting, I called and said
I was new to the area and
would love to teach a beginning quilting class,” Van
Der Motter said.
Van Der Motter will
be teaching students to
make the same first piece
she made: a 20-by-29-inch
quilted table runner.
“It’s a project that the
s t ud e nt s ca n co m p l et e
in seven weeks,” she explained. “If they are true,
true beginners, it will take
them that long.”
But the table runner
can be the start of something big, as it was for
Van Der Motter. Her next
project was a baby quilt.
“After that, my quilts
kept getting bigger and
bigger,” she said. “I now
have a king-size quilt that
I use.”
When Van Der Motter
says the class is for beginners, she means it. The
March 7 session will focus
on the background of quilting. Students won’t begin
the actual process until
March 14.
“I go into a lot of details
at the first session, trade
secrets that people didn’t
tell me in the beginning
that I wish I knew,” she
said. “The terminology,
like the difference between
ironing and pressing. And
the material. I go into
detail on selecting colors,
reading patterns, coordinating material, what it
means when the patterns
say to use ‘dark’ or ‘light’
material.”
Because the first session includes background
preparations, for what Van
Der Motter calls a “halfsquare triangle,” students
will not be required to
bring in material for the
table runner until March
14.
“The half-square triangle is fun because you
can make a lot of different
designs using that one
square. Because students
will pick out their own
material, not every table
runner is going to look the
same,” Van Der Motter
said.
Van Der Motter is an experienced quilting teacher
who loves teaching adults.
Four years ago, upon re-
tiring as a pediatric nurse,
she looked forward to having the time to get back
into quilting.
“I made a quilt when
I was working, but never
really had the time to dedicate myself to it,” she said.
She walked into a quilt
shop in suburban Cleveland, where she and her
husband were living, and
told them she wanted to
get back into quilting and
asked if they had a quilting class.
She became so proficient that they asked her to
help teach. Her first class
was beginning quilting.
“Then they said, ‘Teach
some more!’ and so I did,”
she said.
Now settled in her new
home in North Kingsville,
not far from the Conneaut
line, Van Der Motter is
eager to teach what she
knows to a new group of
students.
“I want people to love
quilting as much as I do,
to enjoy what they’re doing
when they quilt, and not
get frustrated when things
don’t turn out as they expect. It’s not just sewing
straight lines. It’s an art,”
she said.
Van Der Motter’s only
requirement is that students be well-versed on
their sewing machines,
which they must bring to
class weekly. The Conneaut
Arts Center’s annex, where
the class will be held, is just
off the parking lot.
“That’s what’s nice about
it. The parking lot is right
there, there are no steps,
and students can come
right in the door,” she said.
Upon registering for the
class, students will be given
a supply list. They will not
need the supplies before the
second week.
“I want them to wait so
that they will know what
they’re doing,” Van Der
Motter said. “Some who
may already quilt, or who
have quilted and want to

Jim Tanner Presents Civil War Collection
By JOY COBB
Gazette Newspapers
CONNEAUT – Conneaut
Area Historical Society member Jim Tanner presented
his collection of Civil War
memorabilia at the CAHS’
Feb. 23 meeting at The Villa
At the Lake.
Tanner has been interested in the Civil War since
childhood and credits his
grandmother with inspiring
him.
“I developed interest at
age nine, from my grandmother, who gave me items
that were my great-uncle’s.
At the time, people still passed
down stories of the Civil War.
Growing up in Atlanta, we
heard stories about (General)
Sherman, none of them good,”
Tanner said.
Tanner expanded on his
personal Civil War collection
during the 27 years he served
in the Navy in Virginia. He
found additional items in
shows.
Tanner displayed pardon
and parole documents belonging to his great-uncle, who
had served in the Confederate
Army, and who passed away
in 1928. Confederate soldiers
had to sign pardon and parole documents after the war
ended. Reunions were held by
both Union and Confederate
soldiers until many got too old
to attend by the 1920’s.
“Oral history is lost because you can’t talk to them
anymore,” Tanner said.
Tanner shared some littleknown facts and firsts of the
Civil War.
“Not every day was fight,
fight, fight. A lot of it was
boredom. Many of the major
battles were fought around
the time of Gettysburg,” he
said.
The major cause of death
during the Civil War was
disease. Dysentery, typhoid,
malaria, cholera, exposure,
careless sanitation, and poor
diet took their toll on troops.
After battles, amputations were common. This
led to advances in sanitation,
Ambulance Corps, nursing,
surgical and hospital services.
Tanner said that the first
draft, held during the Civil
War, caused riots in New York
and Baltimore.
“A lot of rich people didn’t
have to serve,” Tanner said.
During the Civil War, the
Secret Service was founded,
the telegraph came of age, and
Balloon Corps provided aerial
reconnaissance for the Union
Army. A change of battlefield
tactics also developed during
the war.
“No more lining up and
marching. In very few of the
battles did the attacking force
win. It was mostly the dug-in
side that won,” Tanner said.
Trench and siege warfare became the strategies. “Friendly
fire” was often a problem, due
to similarities in flags and
uniforms.
Tanner demonstrated different weapons in his collection, including a pistol and a
Spencer carbine.
“The machine gun was
created by a doctor at the end
of the Civil War to actually reduce casualties,” said Tanner.
“Repeating rifles came about.
Before that, it was single shot
rifles. Soldiers called the
Spencer Carbine ‘that damn

rifle they loaded on Sunday
and it fired all week.’”
Many officers carried
Smith & Wesson pistols with
a clip of six. Bowie knives
were mostly hand-forged in
the Confederate Army, since
the Confederates lacked the
mass-produced equipment of
the Union Army.
“A lot of knives were
blacksmith-made from files,”
Tanner said.
Tanner said the first submarine to sink a ship in combat, the H.L. Hunley, has been
raised and is now on display in
Charleston, S.C., along with
the skeletons of the crew and
gold coins found inside.
The Yankee warship USS
Monitor was the first ship to
have a rotating turret. In addition, during the Civil War,
the military railroad system
developed a standard gauge
so continuous travel could occur without switching tracks,
another first.
Battlefield photography
began during the Civil War.
“Before that, it was woodcuts printed on paper,” Tanner said. “Mathew Brady
owned photographers. They
worked for him but he took
very few of the photos himself.” Alexander Gardner,
employed by Brady, took most
of the Civil War iconic photos,
“bringing the reality of war to
the home front.” A few of them
were posed or staged.
The Medal of Honor got
its start during the Civil War,
with 1,523 medals awarded.
Of them, 900 were rescinded
in 1917, when some were
found to have been given for
not-so-heroic efforts, Tanner
said.
“At first, the war was
‘civil’ and then it became
‘every man for himself,’” said
Tanner. “There were horrific prison conditions, both
North and South. There was
a Union prison camp near
Sandusky, Ohio, that some
Confederates were able to
escape in winter, to Canada,
when the ice was frozen on
the lake.”
Other items Tanner demonstrated from his personal
collection included a scarf
said to be worn at President
Lincoln’s funeral, a “battlerattle” used to warn soldiers
of suspicious activities, a sew-
ing kit nicknamed “a housewife,” and a wooden ballot
box that soldiers used by
dropping in colored marbles
to represent the candidate of
their choice.
A leather bag called a
“cartridge box” had a shiny
emblem, but Tanner said the
brass plate was done away
with by the end of the war
and the emblem embossed
instead.
“It didn’t shine as much in
the sun to make such a good
target,” Tanner said.
Tanner spoke highly of
the Civil War Trust, which
focuses on saving America’s
Civil War battlefields. Currently a big campaign is underway to save land around
Fredericksburg, Va., and
turn it over the National
Parks Service. Revolutionary
War and War of 1812 sites are
now included in the Civil War
Trust, as well.
Asking how many in attendance had relatives who
served in the Civil War, Tanner explained that a good way
to find more information is
to search the National Park
Service Soldier and Sailor
Database.
After Tanner entertained a
question-and-answer period,
CAHS President Jim Jones
wrapped up the meeting with
a short auction that included
a book about the Civil War.
The Conneaut Area Historical Society meets 7 p.m.
the fourth Tuesday of the
month at Villa At the Lake,
48 Parrish Road. The public
is welcome.

Twenty-Foot Pink Dragon May Steal The Show in EHS’ “SHREK the Musical”
By MARTHA SOROHAN
Gazette Newspapers
ASHTABULA TOWNSHIP - Local artist Ralph
Bacon is a well-known fixture both on stage and off at
the Ashtabula Arts Center.
So it was not a long
stretch to be asked by directors Bill and Mary Ann
Kline, also heavily involved
in the Ashtabula Arts Center, to be the art director
for Edgewood High School’s
annual musical, “SHREK
The Musical,” on stage
March 4, 5 and 6 in the high
school auditorium.
“They told me they had
a big list of set pieces they
wanted and needed, but
they pretty much would
build those, and I’d help
paint and design the backdrop,” said Bacon, of Plymouth Township.
But there was more.
A significant part of the
plot of “Shrek,” which ran
on Broadway from late
2008 until January, 2010,
involves not only an ogre
for which the musical is
named, but a lovely pink
dragon.
Bacon is well-versed in
dragons, having made one
for the Ashtabula Arts Center’s production of “The
Hobbit” about six or seven
years ago.
“’Shrek’ has a dual love
story, and the dragon is
part of the plot. In the
movie ‘Shrek,’ the dragon
serves as the watchdog
when Shrek and the others rescue Fiona from the
castle. But in this play, the
dragon is a ‘she’ dragon
with an eye for the donkey,”
Bacon said.
As such, Bacon has created a pink dragon that can
flutter its eyelashes and
swivel its eyes left to right.
It stands seven feet tall
and, from tip to tail, measures about 20 feet.
Its manipulation requires two people – one for
the dragon and the other
for its tail.
“That’s necessary because it will wind around.
It can wrap around people,”
Bacon said.
Bacon built the dragon
around a backpack frame.
“The person inside wears
a backpack with shoulder
straps and hip belt, which
transfers the weight to the
lower half of the body and
makes it easier to use,” he
said. “But I didn’t realize
that at first. I had started
with the head, and eyes,
and built the head to the
scale of the eyes. The head
is as big as it dares to be,
and maybe a little bit too
big, but it’s too late at this
point to pare it down.”
Bacon’s design includes
an axle behind the shoulder
blades of the person serving
as the dragon’s “hips.”
“There is a pair of thick
legs, so the feet of the person operating the tail will
be able to slip her feet into
the dragon legs so when
she walks, the legs move,”
he said.
Bacon, who estimates he
has 40 hours into the dragon, put finishing touches on
it this week.
“Last Saturday, I had
to make a bunch of adjustments, because the way it
was too top-heavy. I had to
shift it backward and tilt it
so there is less weight in the
front,” he said.
Though the dragon does
not breathe fire, it has created a great deal of excitement among the cast and
crew.
“They were excited when
they finally saw it,” Bacon
said. “I had been working
on it at home.”
Bacon had not planned
to be at every performance,
but is rethinking that decision.
“I’m making the dragon
as nice and strong as possible, but I think I should
be there in case something
fails,” he said.
Bacon says he had no
idea when first asked to
contribute that he would be
getting in “so deep.”
“I had this vision, at
first, and didn’t realize the
path from that vision to the
completed product would
be so hard and steep. And
meandering,” he said.
But he does not mind.
“There’s one scene where
there’s a bunch of tap-dancing rats, choreographed
from the old Monkees’ ‘Then
I Saw Her Face.’ It’s so
funny,” Bacon said.
Directors Bill and Mary
Ann Kline are assisted with
“Shrek The Musical” by
Nora Giangola, music director; choreographer Kim
Godfrey, Director of Theater
and Drama at the Ashtabula
Arts Center; and EHS band
director Connie Summers.

Bacon is amazed at the

My Day In Court
by Sydney Skwera
My Day In Court was a
very eventful day. There
were many different cases,
each one different than the
last. I noticed that just about
everybody had more than
one charge against them.
Some cases stood out to me
more than the others did.
The first case that we
saw was the defendant being
charged with false statement. She could have up to
six months in jail. She was
charged with false statement because her boyfriend,
who had two warrants, was
at her house. When the
police asked her if he was
there, she lied and said no.
She said no because she
didn’t want him to get in
trouble. One of her children
started to tell the police that
he was there, but then the
defendant swore at her child.
She also refused to put her
hands behind her back when
she was told to. Her plead
was no contest. She got some
suspension days and a fine of
$150 for the charge. She also
had to write an apology letter to the police department.
The case that stood out
to me the most was the final
one. The defendant had to
have an interpreter because
he didn’t speak English, but
that’s not why it stood out
to me. It stood out to me
because he was only 18, the
youngest person that was
there that day, and he had
the most charges against
him. He was charged with
operating a vehicle under
the influence, driving with
prohibited alcohol breath,
not wearing a seat belt and
driving too slowly, operating a vehicle without the
proper license, and drinking
under age. In total, he had
five charges. The defendant
could have received a lot of
jail time and a large fine
for these charges. His plead
was not guilty. He was not
allowed to drive, use alcohol, or do drugs, although
he shouldn’t be doing those
anyway.
I learned a lot during My
Day In Court. I learned that
bad actions and decisions
can lead to bad punishments and consequences.
The defendant who was
drinking under age and
driving under the influence
could’ve gotten a lot of jail
time because he made a
bad decision. I also learned
that even at a young age, it
is possible for me to get in
a lot of trouble. I learned
that it is important to tell
the truth even if you want to
protect someone. The defendant who lied to the police
could’ve avoided everything
if she just told the police the
truth and let her boyfriend
deal with the consequences.
Lastly, I learned how court
rooms work and how they
run things there. It was a
good experience to learn all
these things.

which had run the business
for 35 years, did the cosmetic renovations.
But it was not enough.
The doors closed in Oct.,
2011.
“The community just
didn’t support the business,” said Jones, today
a corrections officer at
Lake Erie Correctional
Institution. “There was
not enough in Conneaut
for us to maintain the large
overhead of the building. It
was much larger than the
space we’d come from. It
worked for two years, but
that was when Beef & Beer
closed temporarily, and
when Perkins was closed
for awhile. It gave us a
bigger piece of the pie to be
had. But when they came
back, it took away from the
financial pie.”
Ta king another job ,

named the restaurant the
Mill Street Café, opening
it for lunch only. That venture, too, was short-lived.
“The building had been
owned by the bank for
awhile, and we’d put some
money into it, but when
Dave couldn’t make it, he
gave it back,” said Greenfield. “We’ve had it since
about 2012.”
Greenfield said the
bank’s concern was a vacant building sitting on a
main thoroughfare.
“You can’t leave a vacant
building forever. It deteriorates,” he said.
The “for sale” signs generating no interest, Conneaut Savings Bank scheduled a public auction last
June. Representing the
Conneaut Area Historical
Society, Jones was in the
crowd.
“The auctioneer started
off at $35,000, and got all
the way down to $3,500,
and still, no one bought it,”
Jones said. “When the auctioneer got down to $2,400,
he said he’d meet with the
bank.”
Greenfield said the bank
had determined it was not
going to recover financial
interest in the building,
and decided that rather
than sell it for several thousand dollars, it would donate it to the community.
Conneaut Savings Bank
approached the Conneaut
Area Historical Society
because of the proximity of
the CAHS Museum to the
former restaurant.
“The Conneaut Area
Historical Society pretty
much had the footprint
that the restaurant is
on,” Greenfield said. “If
the building had gone to
someone else, the histori-
cal society would be challenged regarding parking.
We asked ourselves if we
really wanted to do that.”
The bank’s bigger concern, Greenfield said, was
whether Conneaut Area
Historical Society could
handle the donation.
After much discussion,
the Historical Society decided it could.
“Once they said they
could handle it, we went
ahead,” Greenfield said.
“That way, they have complete control. It’s better
than having someone else
get it, and we’d hate to see
the Conneaut Area Historical Society lose out. The
Board of Directors agreed.
We couldn’t think of anyone who could use it more
than the Historical Society.
We know their museum is
pretty full, and they could
use a place to display larger
pieces. We hope it works
out. We are all here for the
long term.“
Jones said he was notified of the bank’s intent to
liquidate the restaurant by
Dec. 31, six months after
the auction, and was told
the building’s best use was
to contribute it to the community and his organization. He says CAHS can
use the space.
“We have stuff in storage at various places. This
is close and accessible,” he
said, of the former restaurant. “But it needs a lot of
work.”
Jones said a time-table
is impossible to set at this
point.
“The Historical Society
doesn’t have any money
right now to put into it, so
we have to sit down with
the board and decide what
to do, how to fund it, and
get grants for repairs,” he
said. “Step one is grantseeking.”
Jones said grants are
out there, and that Jody
Brecht serves as CAHS’
grant-writer.
“It’s unfortunate that
such a nice establishment
went downhill,” Jones said.
“But we thank the bank
whole-heartedly. We’ll see
what we can do. It’s going to
take a lot of hard work and
dedicated volunteer time to
get it going.”
Jones said the CAHS
will be calling on community volunteers for help,
since its crew consists of so
many elderly people.
Dave Jones – no relation
to Jim Jones – is pleased
that a vacant building in
the community will have a
new use.

them a lot of luck,” he said.

semester on-line, while living at home, and enrolled
in the Cleveland Heights
Police Academy, graduating the same year.
“Cleveland Heights Police Department offered
me a job two weeks out of
the academy, and I took it,”
he said.
Still living in Conneaut,
Vendetti had a long commute until moving closer
to the job. After he married,
he and his wife, Bridget,
lived in Cleveland’s Tremont neighborhood just west
of downtown, close to her
work as a nurse at MetroHealth in Cleveland.
Now they live in Chardon, midway between both
their jobs.
Learning that the city
would offer the Civil Service exam in January to fill
the officers’, dispatchers’
and corrections officers’ positions, Vendetti was eager
to take it.
His first day on the job
was Feb. 22.
“It’s a good career
move,” said the son of Vince

their butts off. I thought
they might quit. But they
embraced it,” Simpson said.
None of the girls panicked
or shed tears during the two
months of rehearsals.
“They are the nicest kids,”
Simpson said. “They are
smart, and nice and willing
to work. I’ve never worked
with a group that learned
their lines and music as fast.”
Simpson is impressed, too,
by the girls’ eagerness to take
ownership of the show.
“It’s cool because they’ve
had their own little ideas. I
had a vision, but told them
I wanted to hear their ideas.
They’d say, ‘What if I do this?’
and if it worked, we did it. So
they added to the vision. It’s
a nice ensemble. They all get
along so well. Maybe too much
at times,” Simpson said.
Because “Schoolhouse
Rock, Jr.,” costumes are ordinary street clothes, the cast
members have pulled things
from their own wardrobes to
wear on stage, giving them
more ownership.
“Of course, they had to
have the right jeans, shoes
and shirts for the show, and if
they forgot their costumes for
rehearsals, it was their own
fault. They have to take that
responsibility,” Simpson said.
Simpson’s goal in directing
a musical is to give students
in grades 3 to 8 the opportu-
nity to experience musical
theater to prepare them for
high school musicals.
She already has a show
or two in mind for next year.
“My only disappointment
was that no boys tried out,
and I had to rewrite the show
a bit because we had no boys,”
Simpson said. “But it worked
out well. And we’ve been promoting this at the schools, so
I hope kids, including boys,
who come will watch the kids
and think, ‘Oh, I could’ve done
that.’ If we do this again, and
are able to capitalize on this
interest, even if we could get
three boys to try out, that
would be okay.”
Assisting Simpson behind
the scenes this weekend are
her niece and nephew. Silvia Furman taught a dance
number choreographed by
Conneaut Arts Center Director of Dance Tessa Deutsch,
and Clark Furman is working
lights.
The tech crew is rounded out by Connneaut High
School Lebanese exchange
student, Majd Al Halabi,
working sound.
Simpson is confident that
the community is going to
like the show.

smaller than his former,
110-person police force
serving a racially diverse
city of 46,000 people covering eight square miles.

I told them don’t look to me
for help. If I did my job as director, once the show opens,
they don’t need me. The show
will run itself. I’m going to be
watching.”
Cast member Kailyn Wiker says that performing numerous roles in her very first
musical is easy; the thought
of being in front of hundreds
of people is not.
“This is harder than the
play I did at school,” she said.
“It takes a lot of practice and
a lot of sleep.”
Her love of English grammar has helped.
“I already knew things
from school like nouns, conjunctions, and interjections,
and I’d seen the ‘Conjunction Junction’ video a lot,”
she said.
What she likes best about
being in the show, however,
is family support.
“My family is happy I’m
in it,” she said. “And I feel at
home in the theater.”

situations.”
But those situations
have not left a bad taste in
his mouth regarding police
work, which he regards as
a way to give back to the
community.
“I’m a people person
and I like helping people,”
he said. “I like interacting
with society, even the bad
aspects.”
For the next two-and-ahalf months, Vendetti will
be working with a field
training officer. Right now,
he is on first shift, 7 a.m.
to 3 p.m., but will rotate to
different shifts and work
with different field training
officers.
“I’m doing the work.
They are shadowing me,”
he said. “I know most of the
streets, and there’s not as
much of a learning curve
as there was in Cleveland
Heights. I do have to learn
all the ordinances, but it’s
totally different in Conneaut.”
Vendetti expects he will
encounter as a law enforcement officer people he
knew back when.
“I probably will, because I talk to everybody
and mostly knew everybody,” he said. “But I don’t
care. Since I’m from here,
I know quite a few people.
So I’ll be talking to them
again.”
Vendetti sees no downsides to his new job. He
plans to stay put for a long
time.
“I love this job, and I
love what I do. I’m very
excited and I’m happy to
be here,” he said.

No Charges in Domestic Violence Incident GPS Theft From Vehicle
By MARTHA SOROHAN
Gazette Newspapers
CONNEAUT – Neither
the husband nor wife was
charged in a Feb. 21 domestic incident on Main Street.
According to police reports, officers received a 911
call at 8:40 p.m. from Johnny
Chonteze Crockett, who said
his girlfriend was coming at
him with a pair of scissors.
Police arrived and discovered the door to the
apartment complex was
locked, but suddenly spotted
a black male running down
the steps.
It was Crockett, who
opened the door to them. He
said his wife, Devone, was
“going crazy.”
Crockett was upset because the couple’s sick twoweek-old baby was in the
apartment.
He was unable to open the
apartment door and thought
his wife might be blocking
the door.
Hearing a female yelling
behind the door, police tried
the door as Crockett yelled
at his wife to open it, to no
avail.
Because of the domestic
situation, the scissors, the
screaming female, the tiny
infant and the possibility of
others inside the apartment,
officers decide to force entry.
Upon entering, they saw a
black female standing while
on the phone.
When police asked her
to hang up, she did so, and
calmed down.
She told police that her
husband had been drinking
for days. Their argument
about his alcohol use, and
his using her money to buy
it, escalated.
She said Crockett pushed
her and punched her on the
left side of her face.
Police asked to look at her
Nothing Missing Following

incident on Feb. 20.
According to police reports, Adam Ignasiak contacted police at 4:19 a.m.
about someone stealing.
When police arrived, Ignasiak showed them his
red utility trailer that was
behind a building. It had
been facing north and was
now facing east.
A black truck was backed
up to the trailer, and trailer
tire tracks were visible in
the mud.
Ignasiak, of Lake City,
Pa., told officers that when
the driver of the black truck
saw him, he did not appear
surprised, but got back inside his truck and drove into
Pennsylvania.
Ignasiak said nothing appeared to be missing.
But he told police he did
plan to move his trailer
into an outbuilding within
24 hours.
Ignasiak had obtained

Jackson Street Man Reports Fraud

CONNEAUT – Joshua
Jones learned that a 2010
Chevy Malibu had erroneously been linked to his insurance policy.
According to police reports, Jones notified them at
12:30 p.m. Feb. 23 that while
adding a new motorcycle to
his auto insurance policy,
Geico notified him that a
2010 Chevy Malibu was
also linked to his insurance
account.
Jones does not own a 2010
Chevy Malibu.
Because the premium

any money.
Jones told police that in

Kentucky showed up at his

Jones told them that he

The Geico policy in question had been taken out on
July 7, 2015 and was attached to a fictitious e-mail.

CONNEAUT – Jaiontai
M. Henton received minor injuries after being hit by a car
on Madison Street on Feb. 20.

“In addition to those, we

We felt like we didn’t want

arts teacher, to read a statement to the board penned by
Glenda Betteridge.
Wacker began, in part,
“It is my hope to respectfully ask for clarity as to
the rationale behind these
changes from Mr. Notar and
the board, for I, as well as
the many of my colleagues,
want reassurance that they
are in the best interest of
the district, and more importantly, the students.”
Concluding the letter
that followed, Wacker read,
“Don’t take Mrs. Zappitelli
from us.”
Notar responded that he
made realignments he felt
necessary due to the Conneaut Area City School’s
grade of “F” on the most
recent report card issued
by the Ohio Department
of Education following last
spring’s standardized testing.
Reading a lengthy list of
less-than-passing percentages in the areas of reading and math from tests
at all grade levels, and
physical science, algebra
and integrated math at the
high school, Notar said
that Conneaut High School
was not among the half of
Ohio’s 650 school districts
that received an “A” on the
four-year high school gradu-
ation rate.
He said that the Ohio
Department of Education
has identified Gateway
Elementary School, Conneaut Middle School and
Conneaut High School as
“watch schools,” which entitles the school district to
state support to help close
the gap.
“I’m concerned for the
district,” Notar said. “If
we don’t make changes, if
we stick with the status
quo, it will mean a loss of
local control and the state
control takes over. They
can eliminate teaching and
administrative positions.”
A major administrative
change implemented by Notar is the return of Gateway
Principal Kris Mucci to her
former position as Director
of Title 1 Programs and
Curriculum – a position the
district abolished several
years ago under former Superintendent Kent Houston.
Notar believes that restoring the position will
strengthen the district,
and that Mucci’s expertise
makes her the logical choice
to fill it.
“I have identified our current service delivery model,
and we must modify it to
support the students. I am
not doing this to malign our
From page 1A
administration. Our professional development has
been lacking because of the
elimination of that position.”
Notar said Mucci accepted the change in assignment
when offered it and that he
would rather fill the position
in-house.
“I was going to go outside,
but it wasn’t fair to her. This
is the right step,” he said.
That change necessitated
others. Notar called Zappitelli the “best fit” to replace
Mucci at Gateway
“Gateway has had a lot of
[administrative] transition,
and Dawn is the strongest
curriculum-wise. Kris Mucci
does a wonderful job, and it
won’t skip a beat. To have
a brand new administrator
would set us back, and we
don’t have a couple of years
to waste,” Notar said.
Notar is moving Kennedy
from Lakeshore Primary
back to Conneaut Middle
School, where he taught
math before moving to Lakeshore five years ago.
That Kennedy taught
middle-school math is a
strength in a building with
standardized math scores
under 50 percent, Notar
said.
Notar is removing from
Gateway Elementary School
Assistant Principal Jim
Campbell the additional
duties he has assumed as
Conneaut Athletic Director.
“With the athletic piece
off, he can focus on the building. Jim Kennedy and Kris
Mucci said that Jim Campbell is a caring individual
who is doing a great job at
Gateway. What better administrator than one who
cares about that age of student?” Notar said.
Conneaut Middle School
Principal Joel Taylor will
return to his former position
as district Athletic Administrator.
“When he was Athletic
Administrator, he thought
he’d retire at that. He’s
someone who knows the
community, the tradition,
and the athletic programs,”
Notar said. “No one is better for the position than
Joel Taylor. He was born
and raised here. He did a
phenomenal job running the
program in the past.”
Notar plans no additional
administrative changes inhouse, leaving assistant
principals Rita Maslovsky
and Doug Hedrick at Conneaut High School and Conneaut Middle School, respectively.
He will post the school
district’s administrative
openings in several weeks.
Notar, former superintendent of Warren city
schools, said he hopes his
announcement will put to
rest rumors that he plans
to bring in his “own” people
from his former position as
superintendent of Warren
City Schools.
“I have no one in mind,
and I can’t bring in my ‘own’
people because I’ve been
here just one-and-a-half
years,” he said.
Notar emphasized that
the moves are being made in
the best interest of the district, and that part of his job
is to provide administrative
leadership that in analyzing
what works best and with
whom, may require a change
of goals and work values.
“I’m known to get emotional, and if I get emotional,
it’s because it’s best for the
kids. I care about the kids
from pre-K to seniors. This
is the best interest of the
students,” he said. “When
all is in place, we will see
improvement in the district.
The change is in the best
interest of the kids to move
the district forward.”
Fresh from numerous
executive sessions over the
past few weeks, the Conneaut Area City Schools
Board of Education was
supportive of Notar’s moves.

The board tabled a mo-

tion that would have approved the Conneaut High
School class fee schedule
and course description
guide for the 2016-17 school
year after one board member said he had not seen it.
In the 5 p.m. work session preceding the regular
meeting, the board discussed the grant application
processing fee to be split
between the Conneaut Area
City Schools and the City of
Conneaut for a feasibility
study to determine use of
the old building sitting on
the Astatic site at Broad
and Jackson Streets. The
fee is 10 percent, or $2,500,
of the cost of feasibility
study by city engineers CT
Consultants. Both the city
and schools have need for
more space and are looking
at the city-owned vacant
building as a possible storage site.
The application must
be submitted by March
21, which Notar said could
mean a special board meeting, since the school board’s
next meeting is March 23.
“I thought there was no
money involved in the grant
process,” said CBOE member Mike Kennedy.
The city hopes to secure
grant money to pay for the
feasibility study, but, as
former City Manager Tim
Eggleston learned, the city
must pay for the feasibility

this class is mainly for
beginners who have never
quilted.”
Van Der Motter hopes
for a good turn-out, at least
five people. She fears that
quilting is becoming a dying art.
“I don’t see a lot of young
quilters, and it’s a shame,”
said Van Der Motter. “It’s
such a beautiful history to
pass on to generations.”
And she wants to dispel
the notion that quilting is
frustrating.
“I have heard people
say they hate it because
the seams don’t match,”
she said. “And that’s why I
want to teach. It should not
be frustrating. It should
be relaxing, and fun. It’s
relaxing. So relaxing. And
the finished product is so
exciting.”

up after the kids got out of
school, and we were busy
the rest of the night,” Schreiber said.
DQ employee Maryah
Brewer of Kingsville attested to that.
“I’ve never been this
busy,” she said.
For the first time during a Blizzard Day, Schreiber offered businesses
the opportunity to order
Blizzards a day ahead,
and have them delivered.
Though most people purchased their Blizzards at
DQ, a few businesses took
Schreiber up on the offer.
The largest such order,
80 Blizzards, was placed
by Chris Brecht of Chris
Brecht State Farm Insurance.
Schreiber presented the
money Thursday morning
to Zappitelli personally so
that he could thank her in
person for her role in initiating the “Hunger in Our
Schools” program.
Schreiber said he received many thank-you’s
throughout Blizzard Day
and the days following.
But he said the greatest
thank-you goes to the community, which purchased
on Feb. 24 about twice as
many Blizzards as they
do during the annual Miracle Treat Day Blizzard
Day each August—during
good weather -- that raises
money for the Children’s
Miracle Network.
“To sell that many Blizzards on a cold, rainy February day really says a lot
about the community, and
I want to thank them for
their support,” Schreiber
said. “I also want to thank
my amazing staff. Without
their hard work, an event
like this would be impossible.”
Gary Case, a Conneaut teacher and president of the
Conneaut Education Association, and his wife, Nan,
a teacher in the Buckeye district, enjoyed Blizzards at
Conneaut Dairy Queen on Blizzard Day Feb. 24. “We
love ice cream,” Case said. “We’d eat Blizzards every
day if we could.”

Van Der Motter and

their love of kids and the

Good Shepherd’s Sunday
school program, Steighner
is also helping with the
Conneaut Area Ministerial
Association’s block party on
Saturday, July 16, at Town-

Because Eggleston could
not secure such a grant, a
feasibility study never happened.
The feasibility study will
determine how much it will
cost to maintain that building and to consider possible
uses, said CBOE member

The final tally was

“Mr. Notar did an important
task by explaining why [administrators] are moving,”
said CBOE member Diana
McWreath. “There’s not a lot
to be proud of. I hope people
will decide we want to get
better, and move forward.
I hope everyone is professional and works with the
new person in the building
and the district. We have
a long road ahead. Michael
Notar is a great leader.”
CBOE member Cris Newcomb said some executive
sessions lasted four to five
hours as the board struggled
with these changes.
“It’s important we not
lose sight,” he said. “No
one was fired or let go. No
one was ‘RIFed’ [Reduction in Force]. He put the

to succeed for the students.
These were hard choices,
and I applaud Mr. Notar for
making them. Lots of school
boards hire superintendents
that rubber-stamp. Lack of
state funding has hit us hard
because we are economically
disadvantaged. We have
to do it our way, to make
tough decisions, to improve.
If we let the state take over,
they’ll make things worse.
We have to charge fullsteam ahead and show we
are better than that.”
From page 11A
ship Park.
“We’re going to start
off slow, with one Sunday
a month from 12:15 to 3
p.m., with a simple lunch
and games,” Van Der Motter said.
On March 6, Good Shepherd’s fun-loving, laidback pastor will be teaching the teens a new game,
“Kong.”
“We don’t want to let
the secret out about this
game, because we want to
surprise the youth, but I
can say that it is similar
to ping-pong, but uses no
paddles,” Van Der Motter
said. “There are new rules
and it’s a lot of fun.”
“The Landing” is open
to all area youth, regardless of church membership.
The action takes place in
Good Shepherd’s Fellowship Hall, where room
dividers will be closed to
create a smaller space, and
upholstered furniture on
the slightly-raised stage
will create a cozy, comfortable atmosphere.
Lunch will be served in
the hall.
“We’ll have the ping-
pong table, air hockey, a
popcorn machine and a pop
machine,” Van Der Motter
said.
Good Shepherd’s longterm goal is to move the
youth program uptown to a
space where kids can drop
in after school and enjoy
similar activities, possibly
several nights a week.
“A place where they
can land,” Van Der Motter said. “That’s why we’re
calling it ‘The Landing.’”
Local teens are invited
to stop by at 12:15 Sunday
for lunch and to check out
what’s happening at Good
Shepherd.
“It’s going to start out
small,” Van Der Motter
said. “I think it’s important to keep working at it.”

Chadwick winding down senior year
BY ALLAN MONONEN
Gazette Newspapers
CONNEAUT - Spartan
senior Amanda Chadwick
had participated in tennis, soccer, basketball and
softball at CHS. Amanda
earned a letter in tennis,
two in soccer and three in
softball.
Last fall Amanda was
the CHS team MVP in tennis at first singles and was
Third team All-County.
In softball Amanda was
named to Second team,
All-County and Honorable Mention All-Northeast
Lakes.
“I had a lot of fun in tennis. It was the first sport I
fell in love with. I can play
tennis for a lifetime, Chadwick said.
“In soccer we had a very
young team, but tough
players. We never gave up
and were always fighting,”
Chadwick added.
“I played basketball in
my freshman and sophomore years then decided
to focus on academics. I
played tennis and softball
and did college research in
the off-season,” Chadwick
said.
Amanda will compete
in CHS softball, as an infielder, for her fourth season. She has played travel
ball with twin sister Alyssa
with the Willoughby Starzz
since seventh grade.
The sisters competed in
the Europe Cup this winter
in the Netherlands. Alyssa
played in a showcase in Atlanta and gained attention
that brought her and sister
Amanda to the Europe Cup
team.
“We played six games in
the Netherlands. We did
good. They were older girls
on club teams and were
very good. It was very hard
competition,” Chadwick
said.
As the softball season
approaches, Amanda is
looking forward, “ I am very
excited, very competitive. I
like being underestimated.
When you pull through difficult situations, you form
a strong bond,and can flow
together and compete at
any level. I am excited to
have Rich Shields as softball coach,” Chadwick said.
Amanda is a busy student. She is a member of the
National Honor Society, the
Philanthropy Club, Youth
Leadership and Yearbook
Committee. She has been a
Class officer for four years.
This summer, after graduation, Amanda will travel
to the nation of Armenia in
central Europe.
“My brother Andre Valdez, is a diplomat in the
embassy there, and I will
have a job in the embassy.
I am not sure what job yet.
I’ll live there for a year then
go to Ohio State. I plan to
Major in Political Science,”
Chadwick said.
“Senior year overall has
been very good. I am very
appreciative of the opportunities CHS has given me.
I can’t believe I am ready
to move on, I have a unique

Raiders repel Spartans
BY ALLAN MONONEN
Gazette Newspapers
PAINESVILLE - The
regular season basketball
campaign has ended, now
begins the second season,
the tournaments.
Tuesday, February 23,
the Painesville Red Raiders
hosted the Conneaut Spartans in the opening round of
the Ohio DII playoffs.
The teams competed
evenly for the first quarter, the period ending in a
11-11 tie.
Then, the Raiders, utilizing the inside game of
Jamiroquai Transou, gradually pulled away to the 7258 eventual victory.
It was a memorable
game for junior Jamiroquai
Transou, with 46 points 18
rebounds, six steals and
three blocks.
Transou, an athletic,
lanky, leaper at 6’5 had a
height advantage over the
smaller Spartans. He used
that edge to pull down rebounds, score on pu-tbacks
and block shots.
“He kind of got away
from us in the fourth quar-
Another three by Barrickman cut the gap to 59-53
but Transou countered with
two buckets.
Austin Dale scored for
the Spartans but Derayle
answered with a three point
play, 66-55.
Gerdes scored for Conneaut while Transou added
six more points for the 7258 final.
“I think more than anything else, a couple turnovers hurt us- a couple key

he had double teams coming from everywhere,” Tallbacka added.
The contest began with
a 11-11 tie after one. Then

Conneaut battled back to
start the second half, making a 7-3 run to cut the gap
to 34-37 after a freebie by
Adam Laitinen. Then the
Raiders retaliated with a
