Life has never looked better!

The passing of former Bay Village Police Chief Fred Drenkhan on April 15 meant the turning of another page in the saga of the Sam Sheppard murder mystery. Drenkhan, who died at age 88, was the first police offi-cer to respond to the scene of the Sheppard murder on July 4, 1954. He wore badge Number One as Bay’s first police-man, the insignia of an office he assumed in 1949. He went to become the city’s Chief of Police in 1968. He attended the FBI National Academy and taught law enforcement at Lorain Community College. He was instrumental in establishing Crimestoppers and WEB (Westshore Enforcement Bureau). In retirement, Fred and

A Funeral Procession will form at St. Raphael Church (525 Dover Center Rd., Bay Village), Saturday, May 2, at 11:00 a.m. and will proceed to St. Joseph Cemetery, Avon for a Graveside Funeral Service with Mili-tary Honors.

Box 40122, Bay Village, Ohio 44140.

The Sam Sheppard Case In the early morning hours of July 4, 1954, Marilyn Sheppard was brutally murdered in her Bay Village home. Twenty six days later, her husband, Dr. Sam Sheppard was arrested on the porch of his parents’ house and charged with her murder. The house where Sam Sheppard was arrested is now part of the BAYarts campus, known as the Fuller House. The Bay Village Historical Society currently has on ex-hibit news articles and photos from the Sheppard trial. The exhibit is on display in the Reuben Osborn Learning Center, Rose Hill Lane in Bay Village. “We hope people who are interested in this case will visit and become better informed,” said Tom Phillips of the Bay Village Historical Society. Phillips recalled the hoopla that surrounded the case from the beginning. “Sam told my dad, Dave, to take the red Jaguar out and drive it away. Peo-ple, curiosity seekers, were taking souvenirs from the house.” Phone 440-871-7338 for information, or visitwww.bayhistorical.com.

Interest in the Sam Sheppard mur-der mystery has never waned. Sensa-tional stories in the Cleveland Press, News and Plain Dealer from the days of the Sheppard murder investigation kept public curiosity at a fever pitch.

the City of Westlake, has written extensively on the Sheppard mystery. His excellent synopsis of the case has been shared publicly in several community forums. Highlights include: – The 1954 Sam Sheppard trial was the O.J. Simpson trial of its day. After Sheppard’s original defense attorney died, the Sheppard family hired a young, promising, but relatively unknown attorney living in Rocky River at the time – F. Lee Bailey. Now, most people associate F. Lee Bailey with O.J.’s defense but the Sheppard trial is what initially propelled his career. – The Sam Sheppard case changed the law of the land. A se-ries of appeals on the 1954 guilty verdict resulted in the 1966 U.S. Supreme Court case of Sheppard v. Maxwell, which struck down the murder conviction. It noted the media circus that permeated the trial and the biased com-ments of the judge. Sheppard remained in prison for 10 years while the case was ongo-ing. The landmark Supreme Court decision strengthened the rights of defendants.

– A boon to the Osborn Learning Center was the donation by the Bay Village branch of the Cuyahoga County Library of six volumes of news clippings and articles related to the murder and subsequent trials. The clippings include articles in the New York Times and other major newspapers with national circulations. – It may be just a “(sub)urban legend” but according to some, a Bay Village “Key” club consisting of married couples existed at the time, in which members threw their house keys in a bowl and went home with spouses of other members. It was rumored that Marilyn and Sam were members of the club. – One of the two Cleveland homicide detectives who first questioned Sam was Patrick Gareau. Pat was attending law school at night and later became the law director of Westlake. The law offices in Westlake’s new city hall are dedicated to him. His son, Fr. Timothy Gareau is pastor of St. Raphael’s Church in Bay Village. – Fred Drenkhan was the first Bay Village police officer called to the scene of the Sheppard murder. The Osborn Learn-ing Center display includes a copy of his initial police report. He later became the Bay Village Chief of Police and his son, Dennis, was a fire lieutenant for Westlake until his retirement. – Many people ask about what happened to the Sam and Marilyn Sheppard house. It was located three houses west of Huntington Park on the north side of Lake Road. According to a visitor to the display at the Osborn Learning Center, it was oc-cupied after the murder “by a good Christian family who were members of Bay Presbyterian Church.”

Olivia Kneisly, Urban Forestry Manager Stan Barnard, Sophia Needham, Mary Beth Schneidler, Kendall Reis, Mayor Dennis Clough, M.E. Hargett, Margie Rossander, Brooke Burich and Mia Iditoiu celebrate Arbor Day in Westlake.

The Westlake Tree Commission held its third Ar-bor Day poster contest, awarding six Dover Intermedi-ate School fifth-grade students with ribbons for their posters and essays about “Why trees are important to the City of Westlake.” The six winning entries came from Olivia Kneisly, Sophia Needham, Kendall Reis, Brooke Burich, Mia Id-itoiu and M.E. Hargett. These students received rosette ribbons from the city Tree Commission and were hon-ored with a Proclamation from Mayor Dennis Clough proclaiming their day in Westlake. All students who submitted a poster were invited to participate in this year’s Arbor Day ceremony on April 24. An elm tree was planted in front of the school and students placed shovelfuls of dirt around the tree. The tree is expected to grow more than 50 feet tall.

Poster Contest Celebrates Arbor Day in Westlake Students illustrated their posters in many ways to show the importance of trees and why they should be preserved and protected in Westlake. The posters were judged by Tree Commission members Mary Beth Schneidler, Margie Rossander, John Walz, Diane Mor-ris, Westlake City Forestry Manager Stan Barnard, City Service Director Paul Quinn III and Regina McCarthy, president of the Westlake Garden Club. All of the post-ers are on display at the Westlake Recreation Center. The poster contest and tree planning are compo-nents of Westlake’s designation as a Tree City USA by the Arbor Day Foundation, which requires the city to meet criteria to ensure the preservation and protection of trees, as well as observing Arbor Day celebrations for the community. Westlake has earned the Tree City USA designation for 24 years.

Almost overnight, the video went viral and accumulated 1.8 million views. “I posted a link to the video on my Facebook page on March 30 and when I went to bed that night, there were about 20 views,” says Gumina. “When I woke up the next morning, there were 800! The whole next day, we saw another 10,000 views, and an-other 10,000 views, and it just kept building. I really don’t know how it caught fire.” The 3:35 minute video features aging hipsters donning dark sunglasses and gold chain necklaces, a spunky woman wailing on an electric guitar and a husband and wife drag racing in their wheelchairs. The “Belvedere Boys” and other volunteer video participants “feel like celebrities,” Gumina says. “They’re asking each other, ‘Did you ever think that THIS is what we’d be doing in our 90s? We’re all over the Internet!’ They think it’s awesome. They have had a lot of fun with it.” Last Friday, The Belvedere hosted a special Cast Party cel-ebrating the fact that the Belvedere Boyz no longer have to fight for their right to party. They earned it! And, by the way, the now-famous YouTube video is up to 2,084,300 views! Here is a link to the video: https://youtu.be/mZ6ZrJUNQG4.

May is National Physical Fitness and Sports Month. This “month” is designed to encourage people to follow a healthy, ac-tive lifestyle. But why not carry the concept of improving health to other areas of your life — such as your investments? For instance, give your investment portfolio a regular “check-up” in the form of a periodic review, possibly with the help of a financial professional — someone who can point out gaps and suggest changes. Also, follow a balanced investment “diet” by owning a broad mix of investments. Such a mix can help you reduce the effects of volatility on your portfolio. Finally, avoid “unhealthy” habits, such as taking a “time out” from investing when the markets are turbulent or chasing after “hot” investments, which may already be cooling off by the time you hear about them, It takes diligence to stay physically fit. And it takes the same type of effort to keep your investment strategy healthy — but it’s worth the effort.

Orion Program Manager Mark Geyer of NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas visited NASA Glenn to showcase highlights from the Orion flight test and meet and thank the teams for their efforts.

His visit was in recognition of the Dec. 5, 2014, un-crewed flight test that was supported by various teams at NASA’s Glenn Research Center in Cleveland, Ohio. NASA’s Orion spacecraft, the vehicle that will send astro-nauts to deep space destinations, underwent a rigorous battery of tests. Six people from Glenn will received awards. In ad-
