The Protect & Serve Tavern returned Saturday afternoon to the Great Lakes Mall for its 18th year.

Kim M. Oriold's pre-trial hearing begins next week
Mentor Police arrested a woman Tuesday night for impaired driving after she blocked traffic at a Wendy's drive-thru for nearly 30 minutes. An employee at Wendy's called police because the vehicle driven by Euclid resident Kim M. Oriold was blocking other drivers trying to exit the drive-thru. When police arrived, they found several pills in the 54-year-old woman's car, including oxycodone and tramadol. "She was obviously impaired," Mentor Police Lt. Tim Allen said. "She had trouble keeping her eyes open." Oriold was driving under suspension at the time. She also refused blood and urine tests.

People talk about why Martin Luther King Jr.'s dream is still relevant
This article first appeared on Mentor Patch on Jan. 17, 2011. I thought it would be a timely reminder of why Martin Luther King Jr.'s dream still matters. Bear in mind, because this article is from the archives, Donna Horrigan's sixth grade class would now all be seventh graders. The judge, city manager and sixth-grade social studies class quoted below all received the same prompt. They were asked, "Why does Martin Luther King Jr. still matter? In a country where we have a biracial president, what can people still learn from King's words and actions?" Mentor Municipal Court Judge John Trebets Martin Luther King Jr. still matters because he was a man of peace and vision. We can all continue to learn from Dr. King's words and actions. We …

Mentor Police Chief Daniel Llewellyn had compliments to pay at the end of a special ceremony in which three of his officers were promoted Monday afternoon in Mentor Municipal Court. "I can say without hesitation that this is the best management team I've worked with since I've been here from top to bottom," he said. That management team now includes Sgt. Mark Stansberry, as well as the recently promoted Lt. Dan Molnar and Capt. Ken Gunsch. They were promoted to fill the void that Capt. Jeffrey Reese will leave when he retires Jan. 3. "This is a time of change for us," Mentor City Manager Kenneth Filipiak said to the officers, "and, when we have promotions, it allows us to bring in new ideas."

Trebets discussed the need for the county to have both a drug and mental health court

Mentor Municipal Court Judge John Trebets offered two reasons why he thought the county's drug and mental health courts were so important during a program Wednesday night at Neighboring. First, he said jail was not the most humane or effective way to deal with a person who has a mental health problem or a drug addiction. "We shouldn't incarcerate a person because he has a mental health problem. We shouldn't incarcerate a person who has an addiction, if we can help it," he said. Then he added that special dockets weren't just a matter of kindness. They helped the bottom line, also. "Incarceration is seven times more expensive than rehabilitation," Trebets said. "Changes are in the air. We've been told to do more with less, so we have to be …

Mentor Police Department will have a new police dog by the end of the year and a second by mid-year 2012, Chief Daniel Llewellyn said. The first will be paid for by the Mentor Municipal Court; the second, by Mentor residents and organizations. The department has been without a canine officer since May when K-9 Niko suddenly passed away. Mentor's K-9 program is supported entirely by donations; so when Niko died, the department knew it wanted to replace him but did not immediately have the means. Then the police got a call from Judge John Trebets. "Judge Trebets contacted us and told us he'd decided to pay for the first dog and its training," Llewellyn said. While the court is paying for the dog, the money is not coming from taxpayers, …

Tonya Moore will spend six months in jail for trying to steal about $41 worth of Mike's Hard Lemonade and jerky from a BP gas station in Mentor. Moore, 30, of Madison Township, pleaded guilty to petty theft July 25 in Mentor Municipal Court. Judge John Trebets then sentenced her to six months in Lake County Jail, which is the longest stint behind bars he could give her. Moore was arrested July 15. Another shopper at the gas station saw Moore hiding stuff on her and told the clerk, Mentor Police Lt. Tom Powers said. The clerk followed Moore outside of the store but, instead of stopping, Moore swore at her and ran away. When the clerk chased her, Moore threatened to hit her, Powers said. The clerk retreated to the gas station and called …
