Crime lab unravels
digital evidence
BY WJ KEACH
Gazette Newspapers
PAINESVILLE TOWNSHIP
– Bad guys better beware in Lake
County. The Crime Laboratory,
located at 235 Fairgrounds Rd.,
is home to a dedicated, highly
trained, group of scientists,
criminologists and former police
officers. The Lab’s staff is intent
on helping law enforcement
agencies convict the guilty and
exonerate the innocent.
The Lake County Crime
Laboratory operates under the
auspices of the office of Lake
County Prosecutor Charles E.
Coulson. Founded in 1973, the
Lab is funded by a countywide
tax levy. Being accredited by
the American Society of Crime
Laboratory Directors — Laboratory Accreditation Board, assures
that it adheres to stringent
policies and that its scientists
are skillfully trained in the use of
state-of-the-art technology. The
Laboratory serves Lake County
law enforcement agencies at no
cost and assesses a fee for out of
county police agencies.
The recent terrorist attacks
in Paris, France and San Bernardino, Calif. have made the
work of Jamie Walsh, CFCE,
ACE, vitally important. Walsh
is the crime lab’s digital evidence
examiner.
Walsh was with the Wickliffe
Police Department for 33 years
before joining the crime lab. His
days are now spent unraveling
the data in electronic devices.
“Computers, cell phones, tablets and other items are often
seized when arrests are made,
and they are a useful source of
information,” Walsh said. “The
criminal has unknowingly left
an electronic trail of digital evidence that can be helpful to law
enforcement in many ways.”
Walsh explained that text
messages as well as the time,
date and location of cell phone
calls can implicate suspects in a
crime, as well as provide other
leads. Pedophiles often retain
files on their computers of sexual
acts with minors.
“It is a common, mistaken belief that computer files cannot be
deleted,” Walsh said. “That’s not
true. If a file is deleted it is true
First in a Series
about the Lake
County Crime Lab
that the computer will retain the
file, but wiping programs can get
rid of that file. Also, the computer
is a very efficient machine. It will
look for a place to store things.
If a file has been deleted and
the computer wants the space
it will completely obliterate the
deleted file and place new data
in that spot.”
Of particular concern to Walsh
are new digital devices with
sophisticated encryption capabilities.
“Consumers can now buy
electronics with data scrambling
algorithms that not even the
manufacturers can unscramble,”
Walsh said. “This is the conflict
we face in a free society. People
want freedom and privacy, but
we also need security. I can see
it both ways. In oppressive regimes people use encryption to
communicate without the state
accessing their conversations.
“Even if our government made
it illegal to manufacture or possess these devices, it wouldn’t do
much good as they’re typically
foreign made.
“It is hard to understand the
benefit of cell phone encryption
which has been produced without
a key. Law enforcement needs to
be able to legally electronically
surveil terrorist suspects or to
see who they contact.”
Gazette Newspapers volunteered not to disclose the names
or manufacturers of devices
available with absolute encryption capabilities.
Walsh said the Crime Laboratory has a new technique to assist
in examining mobile devices,
such as cell phones that are passcode locked, damaged, or not supported using conventional forensic examination tools known as
Joint Test Action Group (JTAG).
JTAG tests circuit boards,
dumping raw memory from the
mobile device by disabling the
cell phone or other device, revealing test points. A phone flasher

Mentor makes history
to determine
by electing first female
president of City Council needs, cost
BY IDALITA RASO
Gazette Newspapers
MENTOR - It was an historical
night for City Council during its
bi-annual organizational meeting,
held Jan. 5
Councilwoman Janet A. Dowling was elected president of Mentor City Council by a vote of her
peers. Dowling is the first woman
to serve in this role through the
city’s 53-year history.
“Tonight we have made history,
for the first time in the 53-year history of the city, we have a woman
who will be president of City Council,” said Councilman at large Ray
Kirchner.
Dowling thanked council and
Mentor residents. She said, rather
than change direction, she plans
on continuing the path council is
on because the administration and
Council are working well together.
“I am not planning on any
sweeping changes in the next two
years; I just want to do my part
to keep this ship upright, moving
ahead, and continue to build on the
wonderful foundation that previous councils have provided for us,”
Dowling said.
Newly elected Ward 1 Councilman Sean Blake, who nominated
Dowling, said she was his first
choice because of her leadership
skills.
Mentor City Council made
history again electing John A.
Krueger as vice president.
“We also have the first fatherson tandem that have served a
leadership role in the late Don
Krueger and now his son, John, our
vice president, so it’s a historical
day for us,” Kirchner said.
Krueger, who joined council in
2012, was nominated by Councilman at large Scott J. Marn. His
father, Donald E. Krueger was
elected in 1964 and served on council for 27 years as vice president
and president.
“I would like to thank my colleagues. We have had a great
council for the last four years and
we enjoy each other in what we
are accomplishing. I would like to
also thank all the constituents,”
Krueger said.

to remediate
old landfill
BY MARIAN MCMAHON
Gazette Newspapers
PAINESVILLE TOWNSHIP – The Board of Trustees
approved an agreement with
HzW Environmental Consultants LLC for professional services at the former Township
landfill Jan. 5.
Board Chair Chuck Hillier
noted the old landfill was by the
Fairport Harbor side of the old
Diamond Shamrock property off
Route 535.
“There was a landfill there
that was closed back in 1972,”
he said. “It was only open about
10 or 12 years.”
Since the Hemisphere Corporation began working to remediate the property, the Environmental Protection Agency also
found issues at the former landfill that need to be addressed.
The area is about 20 acres.

Presentation will explain credit scores and their importance
LAKE COUNTY - Ohio
Saves (a part of America
Saves), in partnership with
the Ohio State University
Extension Service, is offering a free presentation of
Understanding Your FICO
Credit Score, and its effect
on one’s credit and financial
security.

Hillier said HzW was
hired to help the Township
determine what needed to
be done at the old landfill
and what the estimated cost
could be.
“They’re the experts and
will help guide us through the
process of meeting the EPA’s
requirements,” Hillier said.
Once a plan is prepared,
it will need to be approved
by the EPA, and then the
Township will proceed with
what needs to be done.
Fiscal Officer Mike Patriarca said this actually has
been ongoing for years since
the Township is one of the
(33) Potentially Responsible
Parties (PRPs) for the old
Diamond Shamrock site.
“Most of the other sites
were a lot more contaminated,” he said. “Our site
isn’t all that bad.”

Manary also reported on
the Safe Routes to Schools
project, which was begun
some years ago, for which
the Township was awarded
a grant. The project’s objective is to construct sidewalks
around Buckeye, Clyde C.
Hadden, Hale Road and
Madison Avenue elementary
schools to encourage students to walk or ride their
bikes to school.
The trustees awarded
the contract in the amount
of $408,836.25 to CATTS
Construction, Inc. at their
Dec. 15 meeting.
“We’ve been following
this for years, and working on it for years to get
all the approvals, and last
week I finally got approval
from ODOT to go ahead and
schedule the pre-construction meeting with the contractor we selected—CATTS
Construction,” Manary said.
“We expect to have construction started in spring of
2016, to be completed within
a couple of months of that.”
Trustee Josh Pennock
became involved as a member of the community and
a parent when the project
was first presented, prior to
becoming a trustee.

would give us some sort of
a consistency and an identity and we’ve chosen one
of the forms of the Western
Reserve architectural style,”
Manary said.
He said the standards
would be used for new buildings or renovations.

Funds approved for HOME investment progam
BY MARIAN MCMAHON
Gazette Newspapers
LAKE COUNTY – Agreements for the distribution of
FY-2015 HOME Investment
Partnership Program funds
to various local entities and
organizations were approved
by the Lake County Board of
Commissioner at its Jan. 7
meeting.
“This represents the Tenant-Based Rental Assistance
projects to Lifeline, Extended Housing and Fair Housing Resource Center,” said
Marian Norman of the Office
of Planning and Community
Development. “They’re doing
a combination of placement,
helping people move in with
security deposits or subsidy;
helping either persons with
mental illness or persons
who are completing a degree
in becoming self-sufficient
to have a layer of subsidy so
they can afford living independently; and retention, if
someone gets into difficulty
in their rent, Fair Housing
Resource Center’s agreement allows them to catch
them up if their crisis has
subsided.”
She said there are also
operational funds for Western Reserve Community
Development Corporation.
Board President Dan
Troy said the funds come
from the U.S. Department
of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). He asked
if there were changes in the
funding.
Norman said the amount
has dropped by 50 percent
during the past five years.
However, there was an increase of $50 million nationally in the last federal
budget.
“There are a couple more
agreements that will be
coming to fill the rest of the
funds, but those are address
specific and we need to work
out details,” Norman said.
Troy asked if there were
changes in the number of
those in need in the county.
Norman said there were
still plenty of people who
needed help. She noted
many houses which were
foreclosed upon remain empty while the banks work on
their disposition.
She said the National
Community Stabilization
Trust and the Federal Housing Authority (FHA) provide
information on available
housing.
(The National Community Stabilization Trust
website states: “We are a
non-profit organization dedicated to collaborating with
local partners and national
stakeholders to ensure communities have access to
neighborhood-level solutions
to return distressed properties to a productive re-use,
ranging from rehabilitation
for low- to moderate-income
owners or renters to safe
demolition and alternative
use of vacant land, all to accelerate neighborhood revitalization. Since 2009, NCST
has helped find solutions for
more than 19,000 distressed
properties.”)
The listings help, Norman said, “But a lot of people
who are low income are what
HUD refers to as severely
cost burdened, and a lot of
them are seniors.”
She noted the $350,000
the county receives can only
go so far to help the people
who need assistance.
The amounts per organizations are as follows:
Extended Housing, Inc.
(TBRA - Subsidy) - $32,000
Lifeline, Inc. (TBRA Subsidy) - $30,000
Fair Housing Resource
Center (TBRA - Retention)
- $41,138.70
Lifeline, Inc. (TBRA –
Placement) - $90,000
Western Reserve Community Development Corp.
(CHDO Operations) $17,367.05
“The point in time count
is the required count of
persons that are homeless,”
Norman said. “It’s always
conducted the last week of
January.
“One thing new that we’re
happy to announce, with the
cold weather finally arriving,
is something called Code
Blue. The past couple of
winters, persons that didn’t
fit at the shelter, St. Mary’s
(Painesville) opened their
gym and accommodated up
to 20 people a night for many
nights in a row because of
the weather last year.”
Code Blue is in effect

Adopt from Shelters
With public education, dog shelters can one day become
obsolete. Don’t buy dogs from pet shops as they only perpetuate puppy mills. Have your pet sterilized as soon as
it’s old enough to prevent unwanted pregnancies. Have
your pets microchipped so that they can be returned to you
should they get lost. Adopt from shelters, give a good dog
a second chance. The following dogs are available at the
Lake County Dog Shelter. Adoption costs $100 and the price
includes a validated license, vet check, immunizations and
a microchip. Additional dogs can be seen at www.petango.

My name is Fred, and I am a very calm, affectionate
kitty who gives major head-butt hugs. I absolutely
adore being petted, at which time I will roll over for
some tummy rubbing time. I also am quite playful and
enjoy chasing anything that might be brave enough
to come near me (especially that cloth-thingy-ona-stick). I came to the shelter as a stray, and I now
need to find my furever home where I can enjoy the
love and security of being part of a family. So if you
are looking to add a very affectionate, very playful
companion to your life (and lap), just ask for Fred.
Please come see me!

test. All cats and dogs adopted from the facility are
microchipped. For more information, call (440) 9516122 or visit www.lakehumane.org. Lake Humane

Painesville - A snow
parking ban is in effect for
the city of Painesville. Citizens are reminded that when
snow accumulation reaches
two inches or more on a city
street, the snow emergency
parking ban automatically
goes into effect. Residents
must move their vehicles off
the street.
Residents are asked to
honor the parking ban regulation, or risk having their
vehicle towed. If the vehicles
remain on the street they
may be ticketed or towed
to allow the City’s Public
Works trucks to clear the
street.
Also remember during
heavy snow events residents
are asked to adopt the fire
hydrant located near their
property. Keeping the hydrants clear of snow will
help the fire department
respond in times of emergency. Help keep the community safe and adopt a fire
hydrant.
Able-bodied residents
are also reminded to look
out for their elderly or impaired neighbors and family
members by helping them
to keep their driveways and
sidewalks clear.

Village working to prepare parcels for sale
BY MARIAN MCMAHON
Gazette Newspapers
NORTH PERRY - Council passed a resolution declaring real estate no longer
needed for municipal purposes at the Jan. 7 council
meeting.
There are 21 parcels involved.
Lynn Kary, fiscal officer,
later said most of the parcels were north of Lockwood
Road, but others were in
other parts of the Village.
The Village has wanted
to do something about the
parcels for years, but it
was Councilmember Larry
Reichard who was finally
able to devote the time to
organize the information.
She noted all the parcels

to the next step.”
He noted it will be a long
process.
Levy distribution.
“They’re thinking of
changing the age of senior
center members to 60 and
up as opposed to 55, but
those 55 to 60 would be
grandfathered in at this

also thinking of a possible
reimbursement payment on
a quarterly basis instead of
the distribution as it is done
now.”
The next meeting will be

Galloway said, in
searching for someone to

their own station.
Galloway said, in

Perry Middle School students to participate in
‘Waste Not, Want Not’ Future City Competition
PERRY - Sixth, seventh
and eighth grade students
from Perry Middle School
are participating in the
State DiscoverE’s Future
City Competition™ on Saturday, Jan. 16 at Columbus
State Community College
(CSCC) in Columbus.
With the help of their
teacher advisor, Pat Betteley and a local engineering
mentor, the Perry Middle
School team is building a
concept model of a city of
the future, writing a narrative and developing an
essay on the topic of “Waste
Not, Want Not.” The topic
challenges students to think
about how to design waste
management systems for
residential and commercial
use, by considering waste
reduction, reuse, collection,
separation, processing, recycling, related health and
safety issues, energy efficiency, environmental impacts and cost.
The Ohio region winning team (three students, a
teacher/advisor and an engineering mentor) will receive
a trip to Washington D.C. to
participate in the national
finals Feb. 12 -17.
Teams are eligible to compete for awards in a variety of categories including:
infrastructure, recreation,
transportation, use of recycled materials, use of water
resources, engineering, most
insurable city, rookie of the
year and people’s choice.
The Future City Competition is a national, not-forprofit education program.
For more information contact Future City Ohio at
www.futurecity.org/ohio.
The Future City Competition introduces students
to different engineering
fields, such as civil, electrical, chemical, agricultural,
biomedical, mechanical,
computer software and hardware engineering. Competing also gives students a
chance to improve writing, public speaking, teamwork, time management and
problem-solving skills while
developing new computer
skills.
Lake Erie College
announces new
partnership with
Cleveland State
School of Nursing
PAINESVILLE —
Lake Erie College has entered into an agreement
with Cleveland State University’s School of Nursing
to afford LEC undergraduate students an opportunity to enroll in CSU’s
accelerated Bachelor of
Science in Nursing (BSN)
degree program.
The agreement guarantees six seats in each class
of the CSU accelerated
BSN program for Lake
Erie College students who
complete their LEC degree
and who qualify for admission to the CSU program.
With the goal of enhancing higher education opportunities in nursing for
students of LEC and CSU,
this agreement will enable
an annual cohort of six
LEC students to graduate
with two degrees, including
a BSN degree from CSU, in
the same amount of time it
takes for most undergraduate students to earn one
degree.
“Students who acquire
the diverse skills offered
by the experiences in
these two degrees should
be highly marketable to
employers,” said Dr. Bryan
DePoy, vice president for
academic affairs and chief
academic officer at LEC.
By helping to dramatically shorten the amount
of time it takes for students
to earn their BSN degrees,
the new partnership exemplifies LEC’s continued
efforts to make college affordable. Partnering with
a public institution such
as CSU allows LEC to
provide more options at a
very competitive tuition.
“This is an extraordinary example of how
a private and public institution can collaborate
to serve the healthcare
education needs of the
region,” said Dr. DePoy.
“This is a mutually beneficial agreement for Lake
Erie College, Cleveland
State University, and the
students we serve.”
Students at LEC who
intend to apply for the accelerated nursing program
at CSU must file a letter
of intent with the CSU
School of Nursing while
they are enrolled at LEC.
This process ensures that
the student will be considered for one of the six
places in the guaranteed
group of LEC graduates
attending CSU, so long as
they have met all of the requirements for admission.
For more information
on this new partnership,
contact Dr. DePoy at [email protected]. More information on the accelerated
BSN program at CSU can
be found at www.csuohio.

Streaks of the Week
Kids ring in the new year at library
MENTOR - Kids celebrated the New Year a little early
during the Happy Noon Year party Dec. 31, at Mentor
Public Library’s Main Branch.
Children crafted party hats and noisemakers. They
competed in limbo, Twister and donut races (where they
saw who could eat a donut dangling from a string fastest.)
There was even a balloon drop and a toast when the clock
struck noon. (It’s OK. It was Sprite.)

Gazette Newspapers to hold second annual photo contest
BY STEFANIE WESSELL
Gazette Newspapers
JEFFERSON - Pleased
with the response to last
year’s contest, Gazette
Newspapers is holding its
second annual Special Section Cover Photo Contest.
Last year, the Gazette
received dozens of photo entries in the contest, as readers submitted their photos
for a chance for them to be on
the cover of a special section
published by the newspaper.
Gazette Newspapers Publisher/President Bill Creed
is again inviting readers to
share their best shots of the
counties.
“We are looking for photographs that depict the
beauty and splendor of our
communities, events, or the
countryside,” Creed said.
“Help us promote Ashtabula
and Lake counties through
your camera lens.”
Creed said that the counties have many talented
photographers, but not often
do they have a chance to be
published. This contest will
give them the chance to have
their photographs seen by
thousands of readers.
In 2016, the newspaper
will publish the following
special sections and is looking for photographs for each
one.
• Community Guides Seven photographs to be
selected, one for each community listed: Lake County,
Geneva, Ashtabula, Conneaut, Jefferson, Andover
and Orwell.
The Community Guides
are a complete guide to the
local areas. The guides include information on schools,
government, groups, clubs
and organizations. Photographs for these guides typically should be of a spring
or summer seasonal scene
or feature something iconic
and memorable from each
community. Vertical photographs are preferred.
• Escape to the Outdoors
– One photograph to be
selected
This special section provides ideas on family fun
opportunities around northeast Ohio. Everything a family likes to do on the Memorial Day holiday is featured,
from fishing and camping, to
swimming and golf, to grilling out with the family. This
section is published in midMay, so photographs should
typically be of scenes during
the spring and summer.
• Northcoast Outdoor
Recreation Magazine – Four
photographs to be selected
The Northcoast magazine
is a guide to recreational and
family fun along the Lake
Erie Coast from Mentor
to Conneaut. This section
is published monthly in
May, June, July and August.
Vertical photographs are
preferred.
• What’s Happening Outdoor Recreation Guide - Five
photographs to be selected
What’s Happening is a
guide to recreational opportunities around the Pymatuning and Conneaut
Lake areas. It is published
monthly in May, June, July,
August and September. Vertical photographs are preferred.
• Ashtabula County Fair
– One photograph to be
selected
This large section is a
complete guide to the fair,
activities and 4-H projects.
It is published at the end
of July. The winning photo
should feature an aspect of
the fair.

of land located at the northwest corner of Market Street
from R-4 Single Family
Residential to B-2 General
Business district, on first
reading.
Lake Health is proposing
a two-story, 86,000-squarefoot building for a medical
office, an urgent care and
a wellness and fitness, and
aquatic center.
Mentor School District is
partnering with Lake Health
to use the aquatics center
for its swim team, to offer
internship opportunities
to students interested in
health care, and to relocate
their Cardinal Clinic to the
facility.
The property would be
owned by the Lake County
Ohio Port and Economic Development Authority, which
then will lease the property
out to the Boldt Company,
based in Wisconsin. Mentor
would then enter into a longterm lease with Lake Health
Systems.
“This is not a fitness club.
It brings together individuals for wellness. What we’re
proposing is an outpatient
facility that is primary care
one-stop shopping. It brings
together clinical professionals, wellness and prevention professionals under one
roof,” said Gary Robinson,
Lake Health vice president
of government and community affairs.
The fitness center portion
of the facility would be used
for patients, but also would
offer memberships. The
aquatics facility will have a
warm-water therapy pool, a
leisure pool, a whirlpool, and
a six-lane lap pool for school
swim teams.
Robinson said the center
is intended to help ease
health-care costs, by offering comprehensive corporate
wellness programs to area
employers. In addition, it
would create additional tax
revenue for the community.
Jim Kleinfeld of the Boldt
Co. told council that the
project is privately backed
and will not be of obligation
to the port, city or county.
“We do anticipate paying
real estate taxes,” Kleinfeld
said. “Our current estimate
is $400,000, per year in real
estate taxes. Currently the
property does not generate
real estate taxes.”
An ordinance amending
the codified ordinances by
rezoning 25 acres of land
located on the east side
of Maple Street, South of
Station Street, from M-1
Light Manufacturing and
R-2 Single Family Residential to RVG, Village Green
was approved.
Richard Sommers of the
Chardon-based Sommers
Real Estate Group is proposing 46 single-family,
craftsman-style homes, with
front porches and attached
garages in a planned walkable neighborhood.
Sommers explained that
the proposal is well under
the density required by the
city. There is 21 percent
more greenspace, which is
approximately nine acres,
more than required by city
code. The maximum den-
sity allowed within Village
Green zoning is 2.5 units
per acre, which would have
permitted up to 62 units.
“We worked with the
planning and zoning department, the Mentor Planning
Commission and especially
the neighbors to develop and
present a plan that is harmonious with the existing
neighborhood and addressed
concerns raised by these
groups,” Sommers said.
The land use is the former
home of Merkel Nursery
that closed in 2010 and the
property fell into disrepair.
Ward 2 Councilman Matthew Donovan acknowledged Sommers for his efforts in working with the
residents in that area.
“I’d like to thank Mr.
Sommers for doing something that not everyone
does—he sent a letter out to
the neighborhood with his
phone number and e-mail
on it before he proposed this
development and let the
neighbors call him, e-mail
him. I got very few calls. I
think it’s going to be a real
asset in that community,”
Donovan said.
The Municipal Planning
Commission will have to approve the final architectural
review, wetland delineation,
and the restrictive ownership that would govern the
opened greenspace area.
The city engineer will also
have to approve the access
roadway for the subdivision
on Baker Avenue.
An ordinance authorizing
the city manager to enter
into a purchase agreement
with the Mentor Exempted
Village School district for the
purchase of approximately
18 acres of land was passed.
The city of Mentor used a
capital grant from the state
of Ohio to pay the school
district $234,000 for the
property. The city plans to
use the rear portion of the
now defunct Dale R. Rice
Elementary School on 7640
Lake Shore Boulevard as a
water detention basin.
The basin would help to
reduce peak flows from large
storms and flooding along
Chase Drive, Raymond Drive,
Parkwood Drive and portions
of Lake Shore Boulevard.
Mentor City Council
placed a resolution establishing an internal service
fund to be known as the
self-insurance fund on first
reading.
“This is our largest budgeted line item, $5 million,”
said City Manager Kenneth
Filipiak. “The savings to the
city will be least $1 million.
We are looking at our worst
years, retaining Medical Mutual - they provide the largest discount for employers
and we have been with them
for a number of years. This
will be a seamless transition - employees will see zero
impact from this decision.”
Council adopted a resolution to place the rezoning
request for Lake Health’s
wellness and fitness, and
aquatic center on the March
15 primary ballot.
The next regular meeting
of council will be at 7 p.m.
Tuesday, Jan. 19.

Firefighters foam field

Fire fighters use foaming agents in a training session at Lost Nation Airport. A foam generator was used as a
training aid at Lost Nation Airport when area fire fighters attended a session hosted by Mentor Fire Department.
BY WJ KEACH
Gazette Newspapers
MENTOR – The
Fire Department hosted
a number of area fire
fighters from other local
agencies at Lost Nation Airport recently for
hands-on training. The
training exercise was led
by Mentor fire fighter Rob
Gandee.
“The purpose of the exercise,” Gandee explained,
“is fighting Class B fires
with foam agents.”
In addition to spraying
the foam and using different types of dispersal
equipment, the fire fighters also learned about
situations that could arise
at the airport. The design
of a twin engine aircraft
hangered at Lost Nation
was also used as a teaching exhibit.
The possibility of a Class B fire at Lost Nation Airport brought area fire fighters to a
training session using foaming agents. Fire fighters train using ground level foam
dispersion equipment.

box is soldered to the
JTAG points and the data
dump is transferred to a
computer for analysis.
JTAG is currently unable to dump encrypted
data. Walsh explained the
problem.
“The computing power
necessary to break in by a
back door is immense,” he
said. “Probably only the
NSA has that capability.
Their engineers are no
doubt already working on
it, and if they succeed we
wouldn’t know.”
According to Walsh,
the crime lab’s real work
locally is on cell phones
used by drug dealers and
in child exploitation. The
chance of a terrorist’s
phone winding up on his
work table is unlikely.
“But it could happen,”
he said, “if the sheriff
made an arrest, the phone
or computer would come
here first.”

Diabetes group helps out at Christmas
BY WJ KEACH
Gazette Newspapers
PAINESVILLE TOWNSHIP – The Lake County Juvenile Diabetes Walk Family
held its annual Christmas
breakfast at Harry Buffalo
in Painesville Township Dec.
20. According to Terry Mowery, LCJDWF president, the
turnout was the best ever.
“More than 150 people
came,” Mowery said. “Santa

hour. It was a great event
and we’re thankful to the
Harry Buffalo for their support.”
Sallie Hughs attended

son Ethan, and daughter
Savannah. Sallie suffers
from diabetes.
“Savannah is my little
helper,” Sallie said. “She
cleans up the house and rubs
my feet.”
“I massage her back and
help her walk so she doesn’t
fall,” Savannah added.
Sallie has had loss of
sight from her disease.
In addition to the Hughs,
those receiving gifts from
the LCJDWF, were David,
Jillian Schuur, Allyson and
Seth Negin; and Debbie,

Caldwell retires from
Central Communications
KIRTLAND - On Feb. 2, Major Charles Caldwell will
be retiring from the Lake County Sheriff’s Office. He has
spent the last 11 years of his career as the executive officer
for the Central Communications and 9-1-1 Dispatch Center.
The Central Communications Division employs 30 fulland part-time employees. They provide enhanced 9-1-1
telephone service and computer-aided dispatch (CAD) to
assist in efficient dispatching of police and fire calls for
nine police agencies and eight fire departments. They also
answer all 9-1-1 cellular calls that come into Lake County.
Central Communications is located at 8505 Garfield Rd.
in Kirtland, behind Lakeland Community College.
Lake County Sheriff Dan Dunlap has hired Michael
Warner as the new executive officer for the Central Communications Division. He will be responsible for personnel,
budgeting, daily operations of the dispatch center, as well
as customer service.
Captain Warner has extensive experience in the fire
service. He is the retired fire chief of Concord Township.
He has also served as president of the Ohio Fire Chiefs Association. In that capacity he helped pass statewide 9-1-1
funding legislation.
The Lake County Sheriff’s Office has always considered
fire and police equal partners at its dispatch center. Warner
will help promote fire service operations, and his relationship with the Lake County fire chiefs will bring a fresh look
at fire operations and communications.
Dunlap has been fortunate to have had Caldwell’s experience at the center for the past 10 years. As Warner takes
on this new role, Dunlap is confident that his knowledge
and experience will continue the effectiveness and professionalism that is the trademark of the Lake County Sheriff’s
Office 9-1-1 dispatch center.

Laketran considers alternative fuel for Dial-a-Ride fleet
Lake County – Advances in the technology of
propane and its cost compared to diesel fuel is making propane a more attractive option to fuel Laketran’s
fleet of 74 Dial-a-Ride buses
in the future. Laketran has
spent time this year evaluating options between gasoline, diesel fuel, propane,
and compressed natural gas.
Staff eliminated com-
pressed natural gas because
of cost and diesel due to
limited vehicle availability.
Propane is a clean burning fuel due to its lower carbon content and significantly
reduces smog forming hydrocarbons and greenhouse
emissions, over gasoline and
diesel fuels. Additionally,
propane is American-made
reducing independence foreign oil.
State of Mentor schools
MENTOR - Mentor Area Chamber of Commerce
Monthly Meeting is Jan. 26, 11:30 a.m. - 1 p.m. at
Mentor High School, Paradigm Center, 6477 Center St.
Register online at www.mentorchamber.org.
Matthew Miller, Mentor Schools Superintendent will
give the State of Our schools update.
Cost to attend is $25 per person.
The stability of propane
fuel costs helps long-term
planning and the agency
expects to reduce air pollutants and reduce operating expenses and vehicle
replacement costs.
“Laketran is always looking for more efficient ways
to operate and reduce cost.
It’s easy to find the savings,”
said Ben Capelle, Laketran
operation manager, “Right
now it costs about $64 a day
per vehicle to fuel a Dial-aRide bus. We could reduce
the cost to about $40 a day
per vehicle.”
Propane’s lower BTU rating results in slightly lower
fuel economy, however the
lower price offsets the fuel
economy.
In addition to fuel savings, a propane bus cost
about $6,000 less than current diesel and maintenance
is less expensive compared
to other alternatives.
As another benefit of purchasing alternative fuel
vehicles, Laketran will be
able to capitalize on federal
and state funding opportunities used to incent transit
systems that use alternative
fuels to help the community
attain air quality standards.
Upfront costs would require installing a new fuel
storage and distribution
system; however these costs
would occur with any new
fueling option.
Laketran replaces 12 Dial-a-Ride vehicles annually
and would begin the transition starting in 2017.

Perry’s 13th annual Pin City
Wickliffe
bedevils Spartans tournament features tough competition
BY ALLAN MONONEN
Gazette Newspapers
CONNEAUT -Completing a Saturday doubleheader, the Spartan guys hosted
the Wickliffe Blue Devils.
In a fast paced up and
down court contest, the
teams traded points in the
first half. Wickliffe took a 1713 lead after one quarter but
the Spartans cut it to 29-28 at
the half.The Blue Devils rode
a ten point run in the third
period a to a 63-53 victory.
Conneaut shot well and
rebounded well but were
frigid from the foul line,
making it tough to come
from behind.
Wickliffe received balanced scoring inside and
out and had five players in
double figure scoring
“In the middle of the third
quarter, Wickliffe went on a
ten point run and the game
got away from us. We were
down one at the half but
missed seven free throws in
the third quarter,” Spartan
Coach Tim Tallbacka said.
“We were a lot better in
terms of basketball plays.
We had some rough losses
before Christmas, we hadn’t
played since Dec. 28 and had
some time to work things
out. We’re disappointed with
the loss but feel this is a
step in the right direction,”
Tallbacka added.
After intermission, Justin
Myers hit a three to make
the score 33-31, Devils, but
fast breaks and good outside
shooting put the Devils in
the lead 44-31. Erik Heinonen ended the period with
a hoop to cut the gap to 4635, Wickliffe.
The teams traded points
in the fourth period to make
the final 63-53.
“We had a tough first half.
We had a lot of fouls but
the bench stepped up, we’re
not real deep,” Blue Devils
Coach Craig Austin said.
“In the first half we did
not do a very good job on
number 31 (Justin Myers)
who shot the three well. In
the second half, we put the
point guard, Marquis Lewis
on him. Lewis did a great
job. Lewis penetrated well
on offense and found guys
in the block. Conneaut plays
hard,” Austin added.
On the scoreboard, five
Blue Devils tallied double
figures. Lucas Thomeier led
with 13, Mike Wilkerson
added 12, Lewis had 11, and
Jordan Walker and Justin
Fortkamp put in ten each.
Justin Myers led the
Spartans with 30, Alex
Gerdes added 11. Erik Heinonen had seven, Marcus
Barrickman two, Adam
Laitinen two and Austin
Dale one.
Wickliffe improves to 6-5,
Conneaut sags to 3-7.
In the JV game the Devils
made it a sweep, 55-19.
Conneaut will play a
home doubleheader Saturday, Jan. 16. The gals and
guys will host the Cleveland
Science Academy, the gals at
noon and the guys at 1:30,
there will be no JV contests.

PERRY - Competing in
the 13th annual Pin City
tournament, the Perry Pirates scored 269 points earning them fourth place, the
highest ranked local team.
The Madison Blue Streaks
trailed the Pirates by one
point and scored 268 team
points to take fourth place.
The battle came down to
the finals.
Perry’s Evan Schenk’s
182-pound match was the
deciding factor. Schenk
faced Erie’s Cathedral Prep’s
Mike Hughes. In the third
period, Schenk was trailing
by two. Hughes was hit with
stalling and then Schenk got
an escape to tie the match
up at 6. The match went
into overtime. In front of the
home crowd, Schenk pinned
Hughes during OT and the
slap of the mat put Perry in
third place as a team.
“The kid was really good.
I just needed to keep working my style, stuff we work
in the room and never give
up. I thought lost at the end
of the third period. Then I
saw it was tied and knew
I had a chance to win this.
It was like sweet! I knew I
had to get the take down to
win,” said Schenk. “It felt
great. I never won pin city.
I started out the season undefeated and now won three
tournaments. It feels great
compared to last year. I took
second at every single one.
This year, I won every single
one. We have Maumee Bay
coming up, there’s some really good competition there.
I want to be top two at that
tournament and ultimately
be on the top of the podium
at state.”
In addition to Schenk,
Perry’s Sam Cales (152)
and John Miller (170) took
second; Erik Somogyi (120)
took fourth; Zack Bubonic
Perry’s Evan Schenk gets an overtime pin against Erie’s Cathedral Prep’s Mike Hughes
to win the 182-poumnd championship title at Perry, Jan. 9.
(126) took fifth and Geoffrey
Gedeon (145) took sixth.
With 268 team points,
Madison showed that they
are not to be underestimated. With a new head
coach at the helm and a
relatively young team, the
Blue Streaks are starting
the season off strong.
“We’re trying to get better every day. We’re starting with the basics and
trying to improve day-byday, step-by-step. It’s a
daunting task sometimes,”
said Coach Andrew Tomaso. “We have some upperclassmen who are great
leaders in the room. Tyler
McGroder’s a hard worker
and great leader in the
room and our two upper
weights, Blake Jerome and
Sam Dull. Those three seniors have been around for
a while and bring leadership to the room.”
Madison’s Joe Hersh
(126) and Doug Bailey (132)
placed second; Jeff Brichford
(106) and Blake Jerome
(285) placed fourth; Shayne
Magda (120), Tyler McGroder (138), Dylan Bailey (145),
Sam Dull (220) took fifth
and Mitchell Bohinc (195)
took sixth.
Jefferson’s Joshua Baitt
and Madison’s Joe Hersh
battled for the 126-pound
championship title. Baitt
won with a 5-3 decision.
“I knew he was strong the
first two periods and by the
third period he was gassed,
but the first two periods I
knew he was a lot stronger
than me. So I waited till the
third period to hit moves and
it worked out ok. My plan
going in was to try to stick
with him and stay on points
with him. I didn’t want to get
down by four or five because
I knew I wouldn’t be able to
come back from that,” said
Baitt. “It’s my first tournament I won in high school
so I am pretty happy. I’ve
been training a lot harder
and working out with my
brother. I’m hoping to make
it to state or the match to go
to state.”
In addition to Baitt, Jefferson’s Zack Collins (182)
took third; Mike Hamski
(106) and Clay Smock (160)
took fifth and Austin Norris
(220) placed sixth.
Grand Valley’s Cody
Rhoads won the 138-pound
championship match again
Devin Rios of Amherst.
“I felt pretty good going
into the finals. During the
match I knew I had to work
hard, use good technique
and stay focused. My goal
this year was placing at this
tournament because last
year I didn’t even make it
out. I also wanted to win to
keep my undefeated record
this year.
Goal for this year is to
make it to state to place, I
went as an alternate last
year,” said Rhodes.
Brendan Williamson
placed second and was the
only wrestler from Kirtland
to make it to the finals. “My
goal is to always make it to
the podium. We (Kirtland)
only had five kids wrestle in
the tournament and four for
the day,” said Williamson.
“I’m proud of making it to
the finals, but at the same
time, I don’t have anyone
to share it with,” said Williamson.
Team points for the
tournament are Cathedral

EASTLAKE - The Lake County Captains, class A affiliate of the Cleveland Indians, will host its 14th annual
Hot Stove Dinner on Thursday, Jan. 28 from 6 to 9 p.m.
at Classic Park in Eastlake.
Former Cleveland Indians All Star second baseman
Carlos Baerga will be in attendance along with former
Indians pitcher Jaret Wright. Both will be taking part in a
question-and-answer session with attendees that evening.
Baerga played for the Tribe from 1990-1997 and returned in 1999, and was a two-time gold glove winner
(’93,’94) and a three-time all-star (’92, ’93 & ’95) while in
Cleveland. The switch-hitting Baerga was the first man in
baseball history to ever hit a homerun from both sides of
the plate in the same inning. Carlos helped lead the Indians
to the American League pennant in 1995 and played 100
games for Cleveland in 1997 before being traded to the
New York Mets for Jeff Kent and Jose Vizcaino. Baerga
returned to Cleveland to play in 31 games late in the 1999
season. He also played for San Diego (‘99), Boston (‘02),
Arizona (‘03-04) and Washington (‘05) during his Major
League career.
Wright was a rookie right-handed fire baller who helped
the Indians to the American League Pennant in 1997 and
pitched in a memorable World Series that year against
Florida. Overall in the Major Leagues, Wright pitched for
five teams over a 10-year span. For his career, the California native posted a 68-60 record with a 5.09 ERA and 694
strikeouts. After his tenure in Cleveland in 2002, Wright
went on to pitch for the San Diego Padres, Atlanta Braves,
New York Yankees, and Baltimore Orioles before retiring
after the 2007 season.
The 2016 Captains field manager, who will be announced on Monday, will join Baerga and Wright for this
event and be available to meet with fans.
A Chinese auction of Captains, Indians, Browns football
and other baseball memorabilia will also be held during
the evening, with proceeds benefiting Captains Charities,
an official 501(c)3 organization.
Fans will be able to take advantage of a special VIP
Experience that will allow ONLY 50 attendees to take
part in an exclusive pre-event reception with the guests
of honor in the Captains Home Clubhouse from 6:15 to
7 p.m. For only $60 per person (children or adults), VIP
package holders will enjoy hors d’oeuvres, cocktails and
non-alcoholic beverages while visiting with our special
guests. Each VIP guest will also have the opportunity to
get autographs and take photos with the guests during the
reception and enjoy prime reserved seating during that
evening’s program, which will take place in the Classic
Park batting cage building.
Pre-Sale regular Hot Stove Event tickets are only $35
for adults and $25 for kids, ages 4-12. On the day of the
event the ticket prices are $50 for adults and $30 for kids.
The Hot Stove dinner traditionally sells out well in

MENTOR – Mentor Ice
Arena is a very active place all
year round for people of all ages
who enjoy the sport of ice skating or are interested in taking
it up. Mentor Ice Arena, located
at 8600 Munson Rd., Mentor,
is the only indoor ice skating
complex in Lake County and
is open year-round. It includes
two regulation-sized rinks, a
studio rink and refreshment
area.
Coming up is a fatherdaughter lunch and skate on
Saturday, Feb. 6 from 8 a.m.
until 5 p.m., according to event
coordinator Colleen Thomas.
Lunch is at noon, followed by
open skate at 1:30 p.m. Cost
is $10 and includes a picture.
Next up for boys and girls
ages 4 to 10 who would like to
give hockey a try, the Arena
is holding a Try Hockey For
Free event on Saturday, Feb.
21 from 12:15 to 1:45 p.m.
Thomas said registration is
required at USA Hockey at
tryhockeyforfree.com/6452. For
further information, call (440)
974-5730.
The popular All Day Skate
Camp for children ages 5 to
10 runs on weekdays from 8
a.m. until 5 p.m. when Mentor
Schools are closed. Pre-registration is $25 and $30 on the
day of camp. Thomas said
the activities include daily
skating, crafts, movies, games
and more.
Thomas said it is not too
early to consider the 10-week
summer ice skating camp that
will be held weekdays from 8
a.m. until 5 p.m. from May 31
until Aug. 12. Cost is $130 per
week for residents and $160 for
non-residents. The daily rate
is $35 for residents and $45 for
non-residents.
Friday evenings from 8:30
until 10:30 p.m. is a fun-filled
open skate complete with a
deejay.
In addition to these special
events, Mentor Ice Arena offers
a wide spectrum of activities
that include open skates every
day, classes for everyone ages
3 to adult and at all levels. The
classes follow the U.S. Figure
Skating Basic Skills program.
Toddler Crawl lets children
14 to 28 months don boots and
helmets and walk, play and
slide on the ice. This not only
is fun for the children, it also
gets them used to being on ice.
Classes for skaters with
special needs are held 5:30
until 6:15 p.m. on Tuesdays and
prepares them for participation
in Special Olympics.
Learn to Play Hockey gives
children 3 and up experience
with hockey. Youth hockey
has both an in-house and a
traveling league. Adults can
participate in open hockey and
adults 35 and older can enjoy
a gentler league of their own.
The Mentor Figure Skating
Club encourages instruction,
practice and advancement of all
forms of figure skating.
Fridays from 10 a.m. until
noon are play dates on ice for
children 6 and under Home
School Skate is 10:30 a.m. until
noon on Thursdays.
Possibly the most popular
program, the After School
Skate, buses children K
through grade 5 to the arena
after school for a half-hour lesson and an hour and a half open
skate. Participating schools are
Mentor elementary, St. Mary
elementary and Willo-Hill.
Thomas reminds that skaters ages 10 and under must
wear helmets, which can be
bike helmets.
Luncheon skates, costing $4, offer exercise and fun
during lunch hour.
Admission to the facility is
$6 for adults and $5 for age 17
and younger and adults 60 and
over. Skate rental is $3.
