Former mayor, wife fined in Orange
election case
By SALI McSHERRY
Former Orange Mayor Joseph Dubyak and his wife, Kristin, and attorney David Gallup were fined $600 for two campaign violations in July, according to a transcript of the hearing obtained last week.
Orange Village Council President Daniel Brown and Councilwoman Lisa Perry filed the complaint with the Ohio Elections Commission in May.
Mr. Brown offered testimony at a Columbus hearing in July. He told the board, "There was very clearly a premeditated attempt by trained election experts, as I would call them, to deceive the public by creating adverse campaign literature in our very small community, which was quite detrimental to the people that it attacked."

Rental ordinance forwarded with
planners' concerns
By SUE REID
After over four months of discussion on a rental-occupancy-permit ordinance in Solon, the planning commission has forwarded a draft document to City Council.
At its meeting last week, the commission closed a public hearing and approved a draft of the ordinance with the condition that concerns of commission members are considered by council. The motion also includes a condition that the recommendation is not a blanket approval of what is written in the draft, but a general concept of what needs to occur for registration and inspection of rental properties.
"We weren't going to come to a majority rule on what was presented, so the effort was made to have the concerns of the members at least documented in the minutes, so the council can appreciate what we had heard," commission chairman William M. Mazur said.

Township gets go-ahead to stem
road-salt migration
By JOSEPH KOZIOL JR.
Chardon Township Trustees took the first steps last week to correct what the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency has said is a migration of road salt into residential water wells.
Trustees unanimously approved two contracts with Burgess and Niple, an engineering firm, to prepare a work plan and begin taking corrective measures to prevent further salt migration. Trustees approved one contract for $5,700 for the work plan and another $26,100 for implementing it.
Trustee Steven Borawski said the EPA approved the plan the day after trustees approved the work.
The township was issued a notice of violation by the EPA in March. It stemmed from an analysis by the state agency after a resident downhill from the township maintenance garage complained of high-salt content in the water well.

Solon 35
Shaker Heights 0
Solon coasted in its season opener at Stewart Field with a 35-0 shutout over Shaker Heights last Friday, with all of the scoring in the first half.
The Comets posted 28 points during the first 15 minutes of the game, capitalizing on the Raiders' three fumbles and one interception.
Kyle Hammonds scored two touchdowns on runs of 1 and 9 yards. C.J. Jackson scored on an 8-yard run. Jovon Johnson ran back an interception 75 yards for a touchdown. Tres Barksdale scored on a 22-yard touchdown reception of a pass from backup quarterback Patrick Kramer.
The Comets gained 172 yards rushing on 42 attempts. They were 10 of 15 throwing the ball for 95 yards.
Head coach Jim McQuaide said he always wants to start off the season on a good note and he thinks the Comets did that.
"We were very aggressive, and I think that helped contribute to the turnovers that they had, and then we were able to capitalize with points on those," he said.
