Compass Pointe sent notice of default from Madison Township BY MARIAN MCMAHON Gazette Newspapers MADISON TOWNSHIP – The Board of Trustees agreed to have Solicitor Gary L. Pasqualone send a letter notifying Compass Pointe Management LLC that it was in default of the lease agreement for management of Stanton Park. The agreement was the only topic on the agenda of a special trustees meeting April 16. Pasqualone said he discussed several issues with the attorney for Pete Spittler. “I indicated to him that his client was in default and had not made the monthly payments, he had not paid the insurance and he had not paid taxes, and I said I learned today that the gas bill had not been paid,” he said. The attorney said his client went to great expense (attorney fees) to file for a tax exemption for the property and he did not believe Compass Pointe was obligated to pay the taxes. Since Compass Pointe had taken over management of the property in January 2013, the Township lost its tax exempt status for the

property and had to pay nearly $32,000 in real estate taxes for the first half of 2013. The second half is due in July. The trustees determined it would be best to pay the taxes otherwise they could also be liable for interest on the unpaid taxes. It was also noted it could take a number of years for a decision on Spittler’s filing for tax exempt status. Trustee Ken Gauntner said the lease agreement called for monthly payments of $2,000 starting this year. “The problem is, when you look at the operating agreement it doesn’t say when he has to pay it … ” Gauntner said. The other amounts owed are $4,800 for liability property insurance and $1,400 for gas, which the Township paid since there is a tenant with a child in one of the cabins on the property whose gas was shut off and had no heat. Fiscal Officer Terry GerredDitchcreek said the gas bill is also for the hall and the cabin Spittler’s brother lives in. According to the lease agreement, Spittler has 30 days to correct the default and if not corrected
after 60 days, the contract can be terminated. He said the development plan Spittler had for the park looked good, but he was asking for a 75- to 99-year lease of the property for a company which was not on the original request for proposal. The initial company Spittler was with, Forum Architectural Services, which submitted a development proposal, no longer exists. “I for one don’t know how (Spittler) can ask us with a straight face to enter into a development agreement when we can’t even get him to pay a $1,400 gas bill and he’s talking about spending $9 million to develop this property,” Gauntner said. He said the Township will have a problem if Spittler defaults since the it only has $30,000 to maintain five parks. Trustee Pete Wayman said he had supported the plan but felt he was “sold a bill of goods.” Gerred-Ditchcreek said she had always opposed the agreement but had no say in the matter. “I am very, very uncomfortable, as a fiscal officer for the Township

County sells North Clean and Green logo winners named Perry property BY MARIAN MCMAHON Gazette Newspapers

purchased for $2.5 million for only $1.8 million five years later. “The property did not appreciate in five years, and now we’re going to take a $700,000 loss?” she said. Commissioner Bob Aufuldish said he believed it was explained the county likely would have paid more than that annually to lease a facility for that time. “If you’re going to do that kind of math, you’re going to have to take into account how much money we saved by having that facility,” he said. Troy said the figure that worked for that property in the deal with South Shore and North Perry was $1.8 million and they were comfortable with that. “So our economic development is actually de-developing because we’re posting losses a la the Lake County Port Authority/economic development,” Lynch said. Commissioner Judy Moran asked who had property which did not decrease in value in the recent “slump.” Selling the property eliminates the need to pay for utilities and other expenses. “So your take is we should have vacated the building because we’re moving our operation somewhere else and let it sit empty … ” Aufuldish said. Troy stated that if this deal did not go through, the county would likely be unable to sell the property for some years. Lynch said if her real estate does not appreciate she does not sell it. Later, Budget Director Joel DiMare provided the following figures for annual costs associated with the building: electric, $17,854.57; gas, $7,444.39; water/sewer, $819.28; property insurance, $2,192.24 and in-kind contributions such as grass cutting, maintenance, other were about $7,000 to $9,000. The appraisals for the property were $1.42 million, from a private appraiser, and $1.85 million from the auditor’s office. Called for a comment, Rick Stark, president of South Shore said they have no room to expand at their current location. “It’s really a great opportunity for us to grow the business. We’re really stuck; we can’t grow anymore at our existing site, so the Port Authority and North Perry Village were just a great deal of help to help us grow. Our intent is to bring some more jobs into Lake County. The Lake County Ohio Port and Economic Development Authority (LCOPEDA) held a special meeting April 28 and passed a resolution authorizing execution and delivery of a lease agreement with South Shore Controls. “We anticipate that later on today South Shore will come in to execute the lease,” said Executive Director Mark Rantala. He added South Shore needed the assurance of securing the building as soon as possible due
LAKE COUNTY – The Lake County Board of Commissioners authorized the sale of its vehicle maintenance facility at 4485 North Ridge Rd. in North Perry Village to the Lake County Ohio Port and Economic Development Authority (LCOPEDA) at the April 24 commissioners meeting. The property is being sold for $1.8 million. “What the county is doing is we are divesting of the property that has been our fleet garage for the last five or six years out on Route 20 in North Perry Village,” said Board President Dan Troy. “There is a company that was interested in that facility for economic expansion.” Troy explained the county has been planning the longterm operating costs versus benefits of keeping the facility. However, it was found the county workforce, and the number of county vehicles, has been decreased in recent years. The newer vehicles have better warranties and can be serviced elsewhere for oil changes at a modest price. Since the greater need for vehicle servicing is for the Lake County Department of Utilities, it was determined combining those operations would make fiscal sense. The concealed carry registration and sexual offender registration programs, which were in the vehicle maintenance facility, will be moved to the Sheriff’s multi-service facility on Blase Nemeth Road. “The usage of the garage does not justify the county continuing to try to operate something of that size,” Troy said. While the initial cost for the property was $2.5 million, he noted the county had used the facility for the cost of about $100,000 per year which was much less than a lease would have cost. The Port Authority will issue bonds to pay the purchase price and North Perry Village will purchase those bonds. “South Shore (Controls, currently located at 4823 North Ridge Rd. in North Perry) knew they wanted to stay in North Perry; they worked with the Port Authority, found out the building was available and we worked it out … ” said North Perry Mayor Ed Klco. He said the bonds the village is purchasing will generate a better rate than what would be available from a bank. The property will once again generate real estate taxes and he believed it was a win-win situation. Troy said the county had originally been planning (in 2008) to spend $6 or $7 million to build a new vehicle maintenance facility when it decided to take over the former Crandall Ford Dealership in North Perry which was new, but open less than a year. During the public portion, Becky Lynch of Mentor questioned why the commissioners would sell a property See PROPERTY on Page 14
LAKE COUNTY – Each year, the Lake County Solid Waste District sponsors Lake County Clean and Green in partnership with the Lake County OSU Extension Office. It is a six-week program which encourages county residents to clean up and beautify their communities. In conjunction with the event, there is also a poster competition for all county students from kindergarten through 12th grade. Winners were announced at the April 24 commissioners meeting. “This is an annual event to come up with a logo. We have division winners in the elementary, middle school and high school and then we pick an overall winner (and that student’s logo) is the symbol for Lake County Clean and Green for 2014,” said Lake County Board of Commissioners President Dan Troy. The Elementary Division Winner was Kate Kaprosy, a fourth-grader at All Saints of St. John Vianney. The Middle School Division Winner was Aliya Davis, a seventh-grader at Wickliffe Middle School. The Overall Winner was Alexandria Zabiegala, a senior

at Eastlake North High School. “We want to thank the young people who participate in this program; we want to thank the schools,” Troy said. “In Lake County we’re serious about protecting our environment. I chair the Solid Waste Policy Committee and we make sure that we properly dispose of waste in the county.” In order to help with proper disposal of items, the county has a number of special collections each year.

It had been noted during the meeting that Spittler was advised of the meeting, although he did not attend. A call placed to the park office asking for a comment from Spittler was not returned as of press time.

PERRY TOWNSHIP – The Perry Township trustees have taken an historic step in purchasing property on the south side of North Ridge Road (Route 20 across from Perry Park Road). This approximately nineacre parcel is hoped to be the gateway to potential economic development in the area. According to trustees, more importantly, this is a
first step in a decades-old attempt to create a four-way intersection with traffic light at Perry Park Road. This area has been categorized as one of the most dangerous highways in the country. Trustees hope to intensify efforts to make than an intersection with turning lanes to help create a safer traveling experience for all residents, and especially the ever-growing population of
seniors using the Perry Community Center at the end of Perry Park Road. There is much work to be done to receive funding and approval for this effort. It is also hope part of the plans will include relief for residents of the Ohio Street subdivision who face the daily dangerous experience of getting in and out of their neighborhood.

ELECTION 2014 Residents asked to support fire levy BY MARIAN MCMAHON Gazette Newspapers CONCORD TOWNSHIP – There will be a 2mill renewal levy on the May 6 ballot which voters are being asked to support. The levy raises $1,167,894 and will cost $61.25 per $100,000 property valuation. “The whole operation
would have to change the way we do business here; we’d probably have to get money from the general fund to continue operation,” said Fire Chief Mike Warner of the result if the levy failed. “The levy is 37 percent of our budget, so hopefully everybody will pay their taxes.” Since the levy is a renewal there is no increase in taxes.
The chief noted the rollbacks totaling 12.5 percent which have been paid by the state would be retained with the renewal of this levy. The department responds to about 2,100 calls annually with 17 full-time and 45 part-time personnel. “(The levy funds are used for) operations, salaries, equipment, fuel, everything
that we do here,” Warner said. The levy was initiated in the 1980s and has been renewed repeatedly. “We’re doing everything we can to be frugal with our monies and to do joint purchases, like with Painesville and buying the ladder truck together; doing anything we can to do business better and more efficiently.”
LETTER TO THE EDITOR Dear Editor, The Madison Village Charter Amendment to reduce Council from seven to five seats, Issue 5 on the May 6 Primary ballot, saves little and is unwise and ill-timed. Proponents of this amendment tout the money savings of $5,400 per councilman totaling $10,800 per year. These savings will not be fully realized until 2018, yet the Mayor and Council recently spent more than this amount. They hired a new Madison Village Administrator making well over $11,000 more per year than the previous Administrator. So much for a Village Councilman quoted as saying, “wherever we can cut we should.” This Amendment is unwise. The original Charter Commission had an overarching philosophy of limiting the power of both the Mayor and Council to reduce the opportunity for abuse. We did this by installing many checks and balances
and by increasing Council to seven seats. This increase was the most heavily and thoroughly debated issue both when we worked through the draft and at final review. We decided that a majority of four of seven versus three of five would reduce the risk of too much power in the hands of a cabal of three. To us, the cost of 1/8 of one percent of the Village budget was worth paying for this protection. This Amendment is illtimed. The time to do it is when four seats are up in the next election, which was last year. With only three seats up in the next election (2015), this amendment creates an “Interim Council” of six for two years with no tiebreaker. Thus the potential for a three-three deadlock. The elected original Madison Village Charter Commission, of which I was a member, thoroughly rejected such a scheme when considering a reduction from six to five seats. We wanted the Council to get on with Village busi-

ness and not be bogged down in stalemates. Finally, proponents of Issue 5 use a proportionality argument. Since Madison Village is much smaller than Mentor which has seven councilmen, Madison Village should have less. Home Rule laws allow a local community to have more control by electing a local Charter Commission to write a charter. There is no “proportionality rule” in charter writing. These locally-elected Charter Commissioners are put in place because they know their community best. As a 35-year resident of Madison Village and an original Madison Village

BY MARIAN MCMAHON Gazette Newspapers MENTOR-ON-THELAKE - Law Director Jim Lyons said the city had received a request from a business that wished to open an entertainment arcade. He said he found the city did not have a “clear appeal procedure” with the city for businesses that were denied a license, so he prepared legislation, which he hoped council would add to the agenda and pass that evening. It would allow for the creation of a three-member Entertainment Device Arcade License Review Commission to hear appeals before people went to court. Lyons said new entertainment devices were being presented as being lawful. He and Police Chief John Gielink sought an opinion from the Ohio Attorney General’s Office. The response received stated, “There is no mechanical device that is allowed to pay cash in Ohio legally outside of regulated gambling activities … ” During the public portion, Shanon Rowan of Perry, who
identified herself as one of the operators of the former Cyber Palace (Internet café), said they planned to apply for a new license and she asked council to reconsider charging their fees on a month-to-month basis rather than six months at a time. The business had only operated for three of the last six months for which it paid the fees when the Attorney General’s Office ordered such businesses shut down as gambling establishments. “The new devices we’re proposing do not fall under any current laws, because it is not a sweepstakes or a skill game; they’re called prereveal machines and they actually show what’s going to happen before players do anything—spend any money at all,” she said. Lyons said he believed his proposed legislation would actually help the city when businesses wished to appeal a decision. If the proposed commission denied the appeal, the business owners could still do a court appeal. Council amended the agenda to include the proposed legislation but left it on first reading.

Lubrizol Foundation commits funds to help expand Lake County homeless shelter PAINESVILLE - The Lubrizol Foundation has committed $75,000 toward the expansion of a shelter operated by Project Hope for the Homeless at 25 Freedom Rd., Painesville Township. The Lubrizol Foundation provided a $25,000 cash grant and pledged to match dollar for dollar the next $50,000 in new donations received from the community
at large as fundraising continues. During the groundbreaking ceremony April 26 for a new addition to the shelter that will double its capacity, Judy Burr, executive director of Project Hope announced the Lubrizol Foundation grant. She highlighted additional contributions from many other area businesses, individuals and
community organizations, including donations of cash, materials and in-kind services. Seventy percent of the project’s cost had been covered by the date of groundbreaking. “Project Hope has been serving an important and growing need in Lake County for two decades, providing a warm meal and a warm bed to thousands of our neigh-
bors who depend on them,” said Dave Enzerra, president of The Lubrizol Foundation. “Lubrizol is proud to support their efforts, together with so many others from across Lake County who have stepped forward to lend a hand.” Project Hope for the Homeless is the only emergency shelter in Lake County.
Promotion provides community engagement focus LAKE COUNTY – Elizabeth Connor, parttime social media specialist for the Lake County Visitors Bureau since 2012, has been promoted as the newly created fulltime community engagement manager for the bureau as of April’s LCVB Board of Trustees meeting. The community engagement manager will engage in ongoing assessment of the resident and visitor experiences as they explore Lake County; interface and create relationships with community representatives across the county, with travel bloggers and online engagement managers throughout the travel/ tourism industry, with online users of Bureau social sites; and build connections and foster collaboration between community

events and attractions to facilitate greater county initiatives. Connor is looking at a variety of new initiatives building off the successes the bureau has seen in their online engagement. Interactive weekend tours, behind-thescenes experiences, and community networking are all part of the upcoming strategy for summer 2014 and be-
yond. In June, look for the bureau’s second GeoTour launch with added caches, and in July, check out the #InstaTour – an Instagram tour of the county which partners with 12 county attractions and multiple overnight accommodations to provide residents and visitors a Staycation package. “We want to engage our residents. The Bureau talks about how amazing Lake County is all the time, but a lot of time visitors want to hear from people outside the marketing world. That’s why we’re asking for help from our residents. The people that live in this county have tremendous power to reach outsiders and attract them – and economic income – to our county,” Connor said. Since her hire, Connor has helped the Bureau increase
their social loyalty 107.6 percent. With the help of the local caching community, she launched the LCVB GeoTour, the 23rd in the world, and reached over 15,000 people with over 1,000 visits throughout Lake County in its first summer. Furthermore, she created a guest blogger program to increase the bureau’s diversity and blog engagement. Connor holds her master of arts management from Carnegie Mellon University, is a Mentor High School graduate and Lake County resident. She has created new community partnerships, events and programs that have furthered the mission of the Lake County Visitors Bureau and has attracted tourists and economic growth for the county.

Maggie’s has a ‘sweet’ grand opening BY MARIAN MCMAHON Gazette Newspapers MADISON VILLAGE – Maggie’s Doughnuts had its grand opening April 11 at its new location at 42 West Main St. “This is now the fourth store—two in Middlefield and one in Bedford,” said Billy Poole, who owns Maggie’s in Madison, along with his dad Bill Poole and stepmother Staci Poole. Maggie’s was first started by Stan Pierce on Noble Road in East Cleveland in 1959, but soon moved it to Middlefield. Pierce sold the business in 1975 to Ryan Naylor, Bill Poole’s Little League coach. Bill, who was 13, started working at Maggie’s with his mother, and bought the business 14 years
later. Although family owned and operated, Maggie’s does offer franchise opportunities. “We were actually looking at a location in Mentor, things didn’t quite work out, and we were talking with the realtor and he was from this area … ” Poole said. The realtor took them to Madison village where they looked at a few store fronts and decided on their location. “We literally just fell in love with the street … right here in the village and it’s just been great,” Poole said. The store had its soft opening three weeks earlier and apparently word got around as customers were regularly stopping in to make purchases while local officials were waiting to have the ribbon cutting.

Perry students award grant to Give a Wig PERRY - Students in the Perry Service Learning (PSL) program awarded a $1,500 grant to Give A Wig, a Madison-based nonprofit that provides free wigs and wig supplies through personal and meaningful interactions to women experiencing hair loss due to cancer treatments. Students and teachers will present a check to Tami Fitzgerald, Give A Wig’s founder, Thursday, May 13, at 11 a.m. at Angel Hair Styling Salon, 6378 N. Ridge Road, Madison. Current and former clients of Give A Wig will also be in attendance. The award ceremony represents the culmination of a year-long process that introduced students to the meaning of philanthropy and involved them in nominating deserving nonprofits, conducting site visits, evaluating grant applications, and ultimately selecting a winner. In September, each of the 80 students in the PSL program researched local nonprofits and nominated agencies they believed were deserving of the grant money. Next, students began the difficult task of narrowing the list down by evaluating grant applications, conducting site visits, and engaging in discussions within committees. In 2012, Perry High School became the first school in Northeast Ohio to

be recognized as a member of Magnified Giving’s Student Philanthropy Program. Magnified Giving is a Cincinnati based nonprofit that provides partner schools with up to $1,000 per year, along with up to $500 in matching funds, for students to invest with nonprofits in their community. The mission of Magnified Giving is to develop the philanthropists of tomorrow while meeting society’s needs today. Troy Kifer, a senior in the PSL program, nominated Give A Wig and succeeded in convincing his classmates that Give A Wig was much more than just a place to get a free wig. Each client that comes in for a wig receives a two-hour-long consultation during which time they can try on as many wigs as they like. The wigs are cut and shaped, and information is provided about how to clean and maintain the wig. Each woman leaves the salon with not only a new wig, but also a Styrofoam head, wig shampoo and conditioner, and her choice of additional head coverings made by caring community members. PSL students also awarded a $300 grant to Project Hope for the Homeless and a $200 grant to the Cleveland Foodbank. Additional information about the program and the process can be found at http:/ perryservicelearning.weebly.com/ philanthropy.html.

Club offers computer recycling day BY MARIAN MCMAHON Gazette Newspapers MADISON – Those who missed the Lake County Computer Recycling collection April 26 have another chance to keep their old equipment out of the landfill. The Madison Technology Club will have its computer recycle day Saturday, May 31 from 9 a.m. to noon at the Madison senior parking lot at 3100 Burns Rd. Computers, printers, cell phones and ink cartridges will all be collected, but no monitors or television sets. Donors do not
have to live in Madison. “It’s our annual fundraiser; it’s our third year doing it,” said Beth Cueni, the school’s IT instructor. Starting May 27, people could also drop items off at the school during school hours if they cannot come May 31. The Tech Club meets every other week after school during the school year. Although the club did not do so well the first year, last year was much better. She said she is very much into recycling and she tries to instill that mindset in her students. “This is just a way for the
kids to get involved in something too and we make a portion of the proceeds,” Cueni said. The Tech Club is a way for students who are interested in technology to get together and share their interest. The topics might be current video games they are playing, online applications or other related topics. At the beginning of the year they did cell phone programming with MIT App Inventor, by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The club has a Lego Mindstorm Robot to program, which is of interest to
some of the club members. “We’ve had two LAN parties this year, which are gaming parties—local area network parties—(to which) kids bring their computers and their games usually on a Friday night,” Cueni said. The club has made donations to the school in the past. “I give a Tech Student of the Year award to an outstanding senior technology student and I’d like to maybe start a little fund, even if it’s just a $100 or $200 book fund to promote post-secondary education among the kids,” Cueni said.

Railroad traffic not decreasing BY MARIAN MCMAHON Gazette Newspapers
In other business: • Ray Sternot of Birchwood Lane said he sent an e-mail April 12 about the Sandy Point stormwater study. He noted he had asked for a moratorium on building at Heisley Park because of all the water issues, but nothing was done. He suggested the city might have addressed some of the issues noted in the study several years ago. “Finally the report says that the city needs to improve its trust image; that point concerns me even more today,” Sternot said. “I just found out that the city approached the Heisley Park HOA (Homeowners Association)—residents of Heisley Park—to accept more responsibility with respect to water issues in the development, and threatened to sue the HOA if they didn’t sign a city document agreeing.” He asked if Heisley Park residents will pay more than other residents to help fix city stormwater issues without getting any benefits themselves. He said the city code indicated the person(s) developing a property were responsible for stormwater runoff and the city engineer or service director was responsible for enforcement. • Barbara Werner of South State Street stated she still had trouble with the bar next to her home has been out of control with music so loud it shakes her home. “There is screaming, yelling, fighting, swearing, urinating outside … and crimi-
PAINESVILLE – It does not seem Heisley Park residents will be getting more peace and quiet soon as Asst. City Manager Doug Lewis reported railroad traffic seemed to be increasing at the April 21 meeting. “There (have) been additional stops in the Heisley Park area,” he said. “We have been trying to work with (the railroad) to get them to move the trains and agree to some of the things they agreed to when we discussed it with them.” Railroad representatives cancelled the last meeting scheduled. Lewis said he believes a meeting to present the city’s objectives was important. For example, some of the engines and rail cars parked by Heisley could have been moved further down the tracks. “I will say part of their problems they’ve experienced lately is they are making improvements on the tracks from Cleveland to Buffalo, so there’s a lot of work on the tracks and part of that requirement is, if the trains don’t get as far as they should, they side them in different areas,” Lewis said. “It just happens to be that Heisley Park is one of those areas where they are able to stop the trains … ” He will be trying to arrange another meeting with the railroad. Council President Paul Hach said he was wondering if the required 12-foot buffer by the new phase of the development would be adequate since the tracks are about eight feet higher than the adjacent areas.

Mayor opposes proposed legislation BY MARIAN MCMAHON Gazette Newspapers MENTOR-ON-THELAKE – Mayor David Eva commented briefly on three new pieces of legislation requested by Council President Troy Elam (who was unable to attend due to a family emergency) the April 22 council meeting. The first was a resolution to establish a reserve balance account; the second an ordinance to limit the administration’s spending authority to $2,500; and the third an ordinance to eliminate the Recreation Department’s appropriations balance. “I strongly disagree with this type of legislation, which would limit the daily operation of our city,” Eva said. The 2014 appropriations had already been approved at the March 11 council meeting on second reading after having been presented to council Jan. 27. “In conclusion, I hope to work with council to get a levy on November’s ballot and let the voters decide what level of service they desire,” Eva said. The three pieces of legislation were left on first reading. In other business: • Eva announced that, after 16 years with the city, Service Director Dwayne Bailey had accepted the position of administrator for Madison Village. In his Fire Department Report, Eva stated during the first quarter there were 244 incidents of which 158 were for medical rescue and 56 were service calls. The mayor said there had been discussion in the Fi-
nance Committee about having a performance audit done by the Ohio State Auditor’s Office, which could take about eight to 10 months. “The minimum that (the Auditor’s representative) had mentioned when I talked to him was about $40,000, but if we apply for the grant, and if they were to find $40,000 in savings, it would net out to zero,” Eva said. • Council Vice President Jennifer Jakosh said she and Elam felt it would be a good idea to have a series of meetings for residents to address concerns and ask questions about a proposed levy. Eva asked if the meeting were to present the city’s proposal to the residents or to ask for their input on the amount of millage. Jakosh said she believed Elam wanted it to be both. Hawkins said they should be specific about what the meetings would be about. He said they all have to work together for another 19 months and he thought it best to “minimize the opportunity for confrontation.” Eva said he could provide information about what the proposed 5-mill levy would be used for. Councilmember Jennifer Bittner said council need to all be in agreement before having public meetings on the levy. “We would look like buffoons sitting there arguing with each other,” she said. • The possibility of doing podcasts of meetings and the issue of regulating golf cart usage in the city were discussed. • Jakosh prefaced a comment stating she was only rendering her own, personal opinion. She said when re-
turning from out of town, she received calls and e-mails about a press release that was put out April 14. “Any press release that is put out, I am requesting, by all of you, that I have prior knowledge,” she said. “The damage control that I had to do regarding that press release and our residents was extraordinary. I had residents believing that it had already passed the Charter Review and that council was going to bypass the voters … ” She said she did not disrespect Councilman Preston Wolk, but before issuing press releases everyone should be very careful because they affect all of council. “I have no problem with the message you were trying to send, but I do have a problem with the manner in which it was displayed … ” • Bailey reported about 800 tons of salt were used this past winter season. A home on Chagrin which the city took over was demolished and the home on Dahlia was scheduled for demolition April 29. The mortgage company which owns the home on Hickory hired its own engineer and is bidding out demolition. There was a storm sewer collapse on Lakeway, off the roadway. That was repaired in-house, saving about $3,500. Bailey suggested council look into legislation changing the city’s regulations concerning pools. He said he annually receives requests about the installation of decorative or koi ponds. “The way our pool ordinance is written—it’s 1456— that the description of a pool fits pretty much – you could put a tin can in your yard and
it qualifies as a pool which requires it to have a 42-inch high fence with a locking gate on it,” Bailey said. • Bill Harsch of Thunderbird Drive, a 20-year resident, said he had attended the last Charter Commission meeting and was concerned about how information was being passed along to the residents. He called the website “appalling and uninspiring” and it did not provide enough information if people wanted to learn about the community. Harsch said there were still people who have no access to media. Hawkins said the city would need to know who those people were if it was to make a special effort to reach them. He was also concerned about people who did not have access to online media and could not afford a website getting information. Councilmember John Hawkins suggested establishing a chat room might help let people know what was going on in the city. • Council passed, on third reading, an ordinance to approve the editing and inclusion of certain ordinances as parts of the various component codes of the codified ordinances; to provide for the adoption of a new matter in the updated and revised codified ordinances; repealing ordinances and resolutions in conflict therewith; and declaring an emergency. • Second reading was held on an ordinance levying liens for expenses incurred for lawn maintenance and/or culvert repairs. The next regular meeting of council will be held at 7 p.m. Tuesday, May 13.

Commissioners in Action April 24 BY MARIAN MCMAHON Gazette Newspapers LAKE COUNTY - Lake County Commissioners Bob Aufuldish, Dan Troy and Judy Moran meet at 10 a.m. most Thursdays, with some meetings at 2 p.m. on Tuesdays, in the Commissioners' Chambers on the fourth floor of the Lake County Administration Building, 105 Main St., Painesville. All meetings are open to the public. Requests to address the government board may be made at any board meeting or presented to the Commissioners' Office by calling Amy Elszasz at (440) 350-2753. There was a meeting May 1. The next regular meeting is scheduled for Thursday, June 8 at 10 a.m. At the April 24 meeting, the following resolutions were adopted: ENGINEER’S DEPARTMENT • To advertise for bids for the Hubbard Road Resurfacing Project, Madison Township, Federal Aid Project with a bid opening date of May 21. • Authorizing temporary right-of-entry agreements for the McMackin Road Culvert Replacement and Safety Improvement Project in Madison Township. • Authorizing a temporary right-of-entry agreement for the Vrooman Road Bridge Replacement in Leroy Township. UTILITIES DEPARTMENT • Awarding a bid contract in the amount of $4.433 million to RFC Contracting, Inc. for LCDU Maintenance Facility Project 271W, contract e-complete, all trades. “ … as we’ve mentioned before, we are going to construct an east end service center for our Water Department,” Troy said. The building which formerly housed the Water was converted into the Lake County Dog Shelter some years ago. The Water Department then rented property for its functions.
“It’s the recommendation of the Utilities Department and its Water Division that (building a new facility) is a necessary step at this point,” Troy said. “The bid that we are going to award here today is actually 11 percent below the estimated cost of this project … ” Randy Rothlisberger, deputy sanitary engineer, said they were “cramped” at the Lane Road facility and the new building should be good for the next 50 years. It will be constructed on Solid Waste Facility property off Blase Nemeth Road in Painesville Township. The project will be funded from the Water Department revenues, Troy said. • Authorizing advertising for bids for chemicals with a bid opening date of May 14. JOB AND FAMILY SERVICES DEPARTMENT • Approving vouchers date of warrant April 28 in the amount of $516,528.48. • Amending the agreement between Lake County Department of Job and Family Services and Laketran to provide transportation services to eligible Medicaid clients under the non-emergency transportation (NET). • Proclaiming May 2014 Foster Parent Recognition Month in Lake County. COMMISSIONERS' OFFICE • Declaring the Lake County Board of Commissioners’ regular meeting schedule beginning May 1. Thursdays, May 1 at 10 a.m. Thursday, May 8 at 10 a.m. Thursday, May 15 at 10 a.m. Tuesday, May 27 at 2 p.m. Thursday, June 5 at 10 a.m. Tuesday, June 10 at 2 p.m. Thursday, June 19 at 10 a.m. Thursday, June 26 at 10 a.m. Thursday, July 3 at 10 a.m. Tuesday, July 8 at 2 p.m. Thursday, July 17 at 10 a.m. Thursday, July 24 at 10 a.m. Thursday, July 31 at 10 a.m. Thursday, Aug. 7 at 10 a.m. Thursday, Aug. 14 at 10 a.m. Thursday, Aug. 21 at 10 a.m. Thursday, Aug. 28 at 10 a.m.
• Authorizing execution of an economic development loan fund agreement between the Lake County Board of Commissioners and Cast Nylons Company, Ltd. for $110,000 of Community Development Block Grant funds. The loan fund was created to encourage economic development throughout the county. The loan was made at 5.25 percent interest rate and will be secured with a lien on the equipment being purchased. This is part of the company’s second major expansion, the first being in 2010, and will create some new jobs. (See story, “Cast Nylons receives economic development loan” in this week’s paper.) • Authorizing execution of a purchase agreement between the Board of Lake County Commissioners and the Lake County Ohio Port and Economic Development Authority, in the amount of $1.8 million for the property located at 4485 North Ridge Rd., North Perry. (See story, “County sells North Perry property.”) • Authorizing execution of an agreement between Matthew Bender, Inc., and the Lake County Board of Commissioners on behalf of the Lake County Law Library for print subscriptions, effective May 1 through May 31, 2015. The current contract costs $6,250 per month with Thomson/ West. The new contract is for $5,288 per month, for nearly $13,000 in savings. FINANCE DEPARTMENT • Approving payment of bills in the amount of $3,372,860.56. • Approving purchase orders in the amount of $1,814,329.11. • Increasing appropriations for various non-general fund accounts. • Transferring cash and appropriations within various general and non-general fund accounts. SPECIAL RESOLUTIONS • Congratulating David Loncar on attaining the prestigious rank of Eagle Scout awarded by the National Boy Scouts of America.
Commissioner Bob Aufuldish noted only two of every 100 Boy Scouts become Eagle Scouts and many of those few become “leading citizens.” DEPARTMENTAL REPORT • UTILITIES Matt Armand, public services coordinator, said the National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day held April 26 was created to keep prescription drugs out of the waterways. “Americans are now advised that the standard way of disposing of unused medications, which has been flushing them down the toilets or putting them in the trash, now poses potential safety hazards,” Armand said. “Medicines that are flushed or poured down the drain can end up polluting the waters, thus impacting aquatic life and contaminating food and water supplies.” NEW BUSINESS • Commissioner Judy Moran commended Chuck Klco, building and county grounds superintendent, upon receiving the Heritage Advocate Award from the Lake County Historical Society. PUBLIC COMMENT • A Willoughby man told commissioners he felt he was being discriminated against when applying for a job with a county department headed by an elected official. He felt he was not being hired because the person doing the hiring had a problem with one of the people the man listed as a reference. “We appreciate your coming today and stating your concerns, but I’d like to point out that contrary to what some people may think, we do not run the entire county,” Troy said. He explained Ohio law gives the elected officials who head their own departments, such as the courts and the recorder, treasurer and others, control over their own hiring. Troy said all they can do is mention the man’s concerns to the engineer. The commissioners adjourned to executive session to discuss personnel compensation.

Trash is thrown around the neighborhood and the noise awakens children at night. • Hal Werner of South State Street also addressed the issues he and his family and neighbors have with the same bar. He noted they have been harassed and threatened, along with their grandchildren, have witnessed fights and it has been open after hours. He said “there will be liability” if he or his family are harmed. • Angelo Cimaglio of Owego Street said he thought the public portion should remain at the beginning of the meeting so people who have issues can speak and leave if they can’t stay for the whole meeting. He said holding people who buy a home responsible for the utility bills owed by the seller is not going to help bring people into the community. LEGISLATION • Ordinance amending Section 167.07 relating to the second reading classification and compensation plan was passed after the readings were suspended. Asst. City Manager Doug Lewis said this concerns a change in title for a municipal court employ and will incur no additional expense. • Ordinance amending 1375.02 of the Painesville Code of 1998 relating tabled to vacant property/building registration remained tabled. • Resolution authorizing the city manager to enter into an agreement tabled with East End Lake County Council of Governments for the joint purchase of an air/ rescue truck. • There were presentations on the Lake County Stormwater Management Department, Prairie State Power Plant and community

There was some discussion by council about the Vacant Property and Building Registration 1375.06(e) legislation concerning what the administrative costs and fees might be. Councilmember Katie Jenkins said there were two options: point of sale and affidavit of facts. Law Director Joe Gurley said both options were possible and they could even pursue people in court for payment of unpaid utilities. Mike DeLeone said he liked the idea of the affidavit because that would show up on title searches. “This (legislation) was designed to put a fee in place to get homes back on the market or (the banks) are going to have to pay a fee,” DeLeone said. He has spoken with homebuyers who have paid the past due utility fees but did not mind because they got a good deal on the house. Lewis said the only problem was the city was not aware of all the vacant properties.

Adopt A Pet Brothers waiting for a home MENTOR - Mike and Ike are a bonded pair, so they will need to be adopted together. These brothers have been waiting nearly a year and a half for their forever home together. Mike is a 2-year-old cat who has been at the shelter since November 2012. Mike came in as a stray, with his brother Ike. Mike is a very special kitty who would love to go to his forever home with his brother, Ike. Mike is a very entertaining and playful cat. Mike loves other cats and he loves to be petted. Mike is shy at first, but once he gets to know someone, he is a forever friend. Mike does not like to be held, but he will be the type of cat who will always want to be around and observe
whatever is going on. Mike has a great personality and he is sure to make his new parents laugh. Ike is also 2 years old. He is a quiet, sweet kitty who loves other cats, especially his brother Mike. Whoever adopts Ike will need to be patient, he is very sweet he just takes some time to warm up to people. Once he warms up, he will be a loyal and forever friend. Ike does not like to be picked up, but if he is comfortable with you, he really enjoys to be petted. Mike and Ike would do best in a quiet home without dogs. Mike and Ike are growing up at the shelter and really deserve to find their forever family.

“The kids were amazed by it,” she said “We knew we had to show it to a wider audience.” James Mango, director of performing arts at FAA, is passionate about this project. “The program provides a way for kids to talk about important issues,” Mango said. “When first casting this project, I looked for the real kid, not the drama student, to play the role-- the kid whose actual sincerity and honesty resonated with the audience. It’s got to pass the bs meter, if you will,” he said. The professional actors who have developed the roles are held to the same standard. “Complete and Total” today has a troupe of professional actors that take it into the schools. It was created by playwright, Greg Vovos, who based his work on input from recovering users who
know firsthand the struggle and pain of addiction. Vovos wanted to create a meaningful and real theatre dialog. “It’s awesome to be part of this project—to send a powerful message, but in an entertaining way. For me, it’s challenging and rewarding,” he said. “I’m grateful to be able to tell these stories— recovery from addiction is life-long and difficult. I see how people need to express themselves and need someone to listen.” “Complete and Total” was performed for the public at The Fine Arts Association in Willoughby May 1 and will be performed at Fairport High School May 5 at 7 p.m. Madison High School and Willoughby North High Schools will also host the play at later dates to be announced this school year.

All cats and dogs adopted from Lake Humane facility are microchipped. All of the above are included in the adoption fee of the animal. For more information, please call (440) 9516122 or visit www.lakehumane.org. Ordinarily small dogs are seldom shown in this paper as they are usually the first to be adopted. However, two seemly purebred rat terriers have been available for the past several weeks at the Lake County Shelter. Of course there are several larger dogs, including mastiffs, waiting for new homes. Whichever is your preference, know that an adopted pet is usually an appreciative pet. The shelter’s phone number is (440) 3502640. Each dog costs $95, and that price includes a validated license, microchip, vet check and immunizations. Additional dogs can be seen at www.petango.com using the zip code 44077.

W I L L O U G H B Y HILLS - Willoughby Hills Community Center Art Gallery, 35400 Chardon Rd., is opening a new exhibit, “4 Artists – 4 Views” Friday, May 9 from 7 to 9 p.m. The exhibit closes July 7. Photographers Jeffrey Jones, Lee Tobin, Dean Chriss and Marcello Mellino will have their work in the new show. Jones is an established professional photographer whose freelance endeavors include interior design, wedding and event photography and industrial photography. His affinity for design and aesthetic led him to formal training in art and design at Lakeland Community College where he received his associate’s degree in graphic arts. Although he enjoys his work as an event photographer, his true passion lies in artistic expression through photography. Tobin’s first camera was a Brownie Hawkeye, which set him upon his creative adventure. He is a freelance photographer working in portraiture and fine art. His background is watercolor, drawing, graphic design, and writing children’s books. He studied photography, art and design at Lakeland Community College, and watercolor with watercolor artist, Layne Kendig. His published works include photographs taken for Tamron Lens marketing materials, and two children’s books written and illustrated. Chriss formed a lasting relationship with the natural world very early in life and began learning photography in the early 70s. His subjects progressed from plants and insects to landscapes of the American Southwest, and in the early 90s his photographic interests grew to include the wildlife inhabiting the places he had come to know and love. His work was first published in the U.S in 1986, and his images have since been published in more than 25 countries. His clients have included the Audubon Society, Sierra Club, Susan G.
Komen Foundation, the United Nations and the U.S. Park Service. Mellino is a local photographer with an interest in landscapes, nature and urban photography, and often in local and distant waterscapes. He primarily utilizes digital photography, but still maintains an interest in the analog imagery. The reception is a free public event and all visitors are welcome. There will be art, food, drinks and mingling with the artists at the opening. A percentage of the sales benefit the gallery. For more information and samples of work in the exhibit go to http://willoughby hillsgallery.org/ May2014.html. Gallery hours are Monday

Community Young artists hone their skills with Studio MPL
GAZETTE NEWSPAPERS • FRIDAY, MAY 2, 2014 • 16
MENTOR - The artists of Studio MPL, the Mentor Public Library’s art club for first- through fifth-graders, practiced their craft by learning how to paint sunsets during their April meeting. Everyone from en-pleinair painters to Instagram photographers have tried to capture the beauty of the sunset. But sunsets aren’t just pretty to look at, painting one is good practice for young artists, explained Lisa Layton. Layton is the library children’s associate who is in charge of Studio MPL. "Painting sunsets is a necessity for any artist," she said. "Children tend to think of the sky as blue. Painting sunsets takes them outside of that usual way of observing nature to discover all of the wonderful colors the sky can become." Before breaking out the paint, Layton read the kids, “The Legend of the Indian Paintbrush” by Tomie
Colin Weis concentrates blending the colors of his sunset painting. DePaola, which tells the story of Little Gopher and how he brings the colors of the sunset down to earth. Then Layton explained to the young artists how they can layer and blend colors to paint a realistic sunset. "We started with yellow at the bottom of the canvas for the setting sun, then red in the middle and a dash of blue on top," she said. "For the final touch, we blended the colors with water to make orange and purple. It's magi-

They’ve made paper cutouts in the style of Matisse and practiced artistic techniques

With the weather getting warmer, Layton said Studio MPL's project for May would probably be something that the children can enjoy outside like a suncatcher or wind chimes.

If you have diabetes, you need to take extra care in summer, when heat waves, strong storms, and hurricanes can strike. It’s important to make a plan and be prepared. If you have diabetes, you know how important it is to have a care routine. Yet summer weather, with its high temperatures and extreme storms, can cause problems with that routine and make it more difficult to manage diabetes. Diabetes makes it harder for your body to handle high heat and humidity. You may need to make changes in your medication and what you eat and drink when temperatures rise. During emergencies and natural disasters such as hurricanes or tornadoes, you may have other needs related to diabetes. Identify yourself as a person with diabetes so you can get appropriate care. If you are a family member, caregiver, or health care provider for someone with diabetes, please share this information with them.
