shooting a block away in the city’s Glenville neighborhood last March are facing administrative charges through the police department's disciplinary system according to documents obtained by Ideastream Public Media The Cuyahoga County Prosecutor's office previously declined to charge the officers criminally In two “Pre-disciplinary hearing” letters sent April 25 the officers were each charged with using “force that was deemed to be not necessary not proportional and not objectively reasonable” when they fired at Carter’s vehicle According to the letter addressed to O'Donnell an internal affairs investigation showed he fired five times without seeing the driver or verifying they were a threat O’Donnell allegedly fired a shot that struck an occupied residence “creating a risk to the occupants of the residence.” Investigators found Rock fired four shots at Carter’s vehicle One of her rounds was found in a patrol car at the scene Each Group II charge carries a 6-to-10 day suspension and Group III’s are punishable with a minimum 10-day suspension to termination Attempts to reach the officer through the union that represents Cleveland patrol officers were not successful The department issues pre-disciplinary hearing letters following an investigation by the internal affairs unit The charges are based on findings from that investigation where officers face a suspension of more than 10 days the public safety director’s office makes the decision following a hearing That hearing is currently scheduled for May 9 for both officers It’s been more than a year since Carter died near her mother’s house following a call to police for assistance in the early hours of March 17 Officers O’Donnell and Rock arrived at the house on Garfield Avenue about an hour later surveillance and body camera footage released by the department shows The video shows a passenger in another vehicle firing at Carter after approaching her vehicle from behind as both drove along East 105th Street who had recently arrived at her mother's home and her headlights became visible to the officers The vehicle with the shooter in it continued down 105th The officers’ faces are not visible in the videos but firing at Carter’s vehicle as it approaches took cover behind the patrol vehicle and began firing after Carter sideswiped the car on her way past The woman at the residence can be heard shouting That’s my daughter,” as officers were firing at the car The Cuyahoga County Sheriff’s Department investigated the shooting for potential criminal charges against the officers, based on Cleveland Police policy The results of that investigation went to the Cuyahoga County Prosecutor’s office for potential charges Ideastream Public Media has requested a copy of the sheriff’s report from both the county and city of Cleveland In a letter sent by Prosecutor Michael O’Malley to Sheriff Harold Pretel on February 10 the prosecutor declined to pursue criminal charges against the officers O’Malley said they were both faced with a “split-second decision while under the impression that the car that was speeding” towards them posed a danger to both officers “This review is only concerned with the analysis of the reasonableness of Officer [redacted] and Officer [redacted]’s use of deadly force to determine whether under the United States Constitution and case law a crime was committed by their use of deadly force,” O’Malley wrote “It does not opine as to any potential internal policy violations The names of the officers involved were initially redacted by both the city and prosecutor’s office because they were initially categorized as victims because Carter’s vehicle sideswiped their patrol car Carter was not found to have fired any rounds at the officers the medical examiner’s office wrote Carter died from a “gunshot wound of trunk with injuries of heart "Preliminary testing does not indicate that police activity was directly responsible for the decedent's death," wrote Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner Thomas Gilson The medical examiner’s office has not filled an Ideastream request for a copy of the autopsy report Two passengers in the car that fired at Carter on East 105th Street — Trinity Ford of Willowick — both pleaded guilty to reduced charges of involuntary manslaughter for Stinson and Ford and felonious assault and improperly

reliability and really allow this region to maximize the existing infrastructure that they have.” Battery storage systems as a whole are positioned to lower energy system costs by optimizing the grid bolstering reliability and enabling a clean grid Matze said the battery energy storage system is not affiliated with the nearby wind project and will take energy off the grid that is coming from various sources “When we looked at sites we were looking for where there’s grid volatility “We take that extra energy off the line through the substation The substation helps convert that energy into a state where we can store it We store it just like you would store corn wheat or soy in a bin — when there’s extra corn Really what this helps do is provide low-cost energy during times of high consumption.” Matze said highest peak energy usage is at night and then again in the morning and it requires using resources that are expensive to supply the energy needed for people’s homes at that time This would enable the company to provide a lower cost product during those times — known as peak shaving According to the project application to the state the system would have the potential to store enough energy to provide electricity for approximately 100,000 households for up to four hours based on an average household’s electricity consumption The storage system itself will look like a series of storage containers and inside each unit will be batteries stacked in drawers and she estimated there will be between 75 and 100 units over the possible 20 acres she said the company looks at other factors when considering a site The company looks at national standards with the National Fire Protection Association and other regulatory agencies to ensure they’re providing a project that can be managed safely by the local fire department in case of a battery failure that results in a thermal event She said she understands there are concerns and is available to meet with people and answer questions they may have About 500 battery energy storage systems operate safely throughout the country Matze said Spearmint Energy uses Tier 1 technology which has not had any power failures or battery failures that have resulted in a thermal event She noted there is a lot of misinformation on the internet about battery fires but she said in those instances where there have been fires they would allow the fire to burn itself out in that unit She said research has shown no adverse impacts to any of the surrounding communities She has also received questions about if there is the possibility the batteries could leak into the neighboring land given the proximity to the Shell Rock River Matze said there will not be liquid inside the batteries they have in the units they are not designed to be sprayed with water or other things to extinguish the blaze that could lead to runoff She noted Minnesota has one of the most “vigorous” processes for reviewing battery energy storage systems in the country and she’s happy to participate in the project so they can build a safe project for the community The company’s permit would be for 30 years and the batteries have a guaranteed lifespan of 20 to 25 years Spearmint met with community leaders about the project in April 2024 as well as former Commissioner John Forman and the county’s planning and zoning administrator She said the company is required by state law to notify Freeborn County the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources and others The project is currently under a state comment period through March 10 through the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission on the scope of the environmental assessment Written comments will be accepted through 4:30 p.m that day via https://mn.gov/puc/consumers/public-comments by email at consumer.puc@state.mn.us or by mail at Consumer Affairs Office “We are committed to continuing to meet with folks and we invite them to provide their comments to the Public Utilities Commission,” Matze said The company also plans to have an open house where people can meet with representatives from the company and learn more about the project If all goes according to plan and the project can get the necessary approvals they hope to be under construction in 2027 though they strongly expect those dates will get pushed back They said they are still looking for a power purchase agreement including one such as Freeborn Mower Electric we’re here to be a community partner,” she said We expect to be a long-term part of the community so we encourage people to reach out directly if they have questions.” Matze can be reached by email at mmatze@spearmintenergy.com The project website can be found at www.midwaterbattery.com In brief discussion about the issue at the Freeborn County Board of Commissioners meeting on Tuesday 2nd District Commissioner Dawn Kaasa said many residents want to know what the evacuation plan would be for the project and how the fire department would be trained to respond She said there are many other locations with access to a substation where a project like that could go and questioned why it had to be at that specific site so close to the Shell Rock River A group of concerned residents met to discuss the project Monday at Glenville-Emmons High School Check back for more information from that meeting Thanks for visiting The use of

while you are here © 2025 West Virginia University Athletics Thanks for visiting The Freeborn County Board of Commissioners on Tuesday voted 3-1 on a resolution that opposes the proposed battery energy storage project near Glenville after hearing several comments both in favor and against Lukas Severson and Brad Edwin voted to oppose the project while Commissioner Chris Shoff abstained from voting Fifth District Commissioner Nicole Eckstrom was absent from the meeting Shoff said he did not recall the board making a blanket statement previously about a project reviewed by the Public Utilities Commission and said in the past he thought commissioners could voice their opinions individually if they chose Shoff said while he would have been in favor of drafting something that said the board was concerned about factors such as the proximity of the project near the Shell Rock River and Glenville-Emmons School he was against jumping forward and flat-out saying the board was opposed to the project as a whole The action comes as discussion about the proposed project called the Midwater Energy Storage Project many Glenville residents have questioned the safety of the project for wildlife and for residents and what would happen in the event of a fire with the system The 150-megawatt battery energy storage system proposed by Florida-based Spearmint Energy would be off of U.S Highway 65 south of Glenville on land adjacent to the ITC Midwest substation The storage system is designed to take energy off the grid that is coming from various sources Third District Commissioner Lukas Severson said the board’s resolution was a tool for the commissioners to make a statement about the project and acknowledge the citizens who have voiced their concerns The resolution states that based on the review of the information available regarding the project the commissioners have identified concerns regarding potential adverse impacts on the local community wildlife and the environment adjacent to the proposed site It also pointed to potential health and safety risks associated with the system’s technology could pose substantial risks and challenges for emergency response property and the environment adjacent to Glenville and the Shell Rock River,” it stated The river is a DNR-designated state water trail and is enjoyed by kayakers the project warrants careful consideration of potential impacts on water quality and recreational use It also referenced noise emissions from the proposed project and concerns about the effects on residences and natural areas explosions and hazardous material runoff in the event of inclement weather The resolution states the project as currently proposed and reviewed is “inconsistent with the county’s goals and responsibilities regarding the public health safety and welfare and the promotion of responsible and compatible land use in this specific area.”  Second District Commissioner Dawn Kaasa said there were vast areas the project could be built on and questioned why the company could not research and choose another location She said she took offense to comments made by former 3rd District Commissioner John Forman who compared the resolution to the story of Chicken Little as a means to sway the rest of the county against the project and green energy said the board’s resolution would be seen as negative by other green energy companies and other businesses looking to relocate to the county Regarding speculation that the project was being kept secret until more recently Forman talked about a meeting he had been asked to attend with former Administrator Ryan Rasmusson and Trevor Bordelon with Environmental Services with the county Forman served on the Planning Commission and a few other boards dealing with similar topics and it made sense for him to attend a handful of employees of Good Steward Consulting spoke in favor of the project as individuals Emma Thompson said battery energy storage projects help stabilize the grid and said the system would have 24/7 monitoring and internal sensors She said thermal events are rare and compared the opposition to the project to banning cars or bridges because of the possibility they could fail Tiffany Paino described the amount of misinformation that has been out there about the project and said it was imperative to depend on reputable sources rather than fear-mongering Holly Rahn said she has lived in Albert Lea her whole life and said she believed the board’s vote was premature it can position the county as a forward-thinking leader said Good Steward has worked on 100 energy projects in over 20 states and Minnesota has the most stringent permitting process She pointed to the myriad of studies required and the transparency and public participation that the Public Utilities Commission has undertaken Cole Pestorious read a letter on behalf of Lynne which also referenced a rigorous permitting process and review by numerous agencies said he had some concerns about what was being proposed and was concerned about the effect it could have on wildlife He said the Shell Rock River should be treated with the same respect as the lakes in Albert Lea noting a system like this would never be built that close to Fountain or Albert Lea lakes said the Shell Rock Township also recently passed a resolution against the system being at that location and said there were multiple other locations near substations that could be considered asked the board to reconsider their vote and also referred to the comprehensive evaluation that is conducted on the state level that details environmental and human impacts He said the Public Utilities Commission is undergoing an environmental assessment of the project The PUC oversees the review and approval of all battery energy storage systems in the state The environmental assessment evaluates potential impacts of the project and incorporates public comments and concerns The Public Utilities Commission is currently seeking public input on issues that should be reviewed in the assessment and that scoping period will close April 21 the PUC will prepare an assessment that will then be shared with the public there will be additional opportunities for public comment Spearmint Energy released the following statement about the project: “Spearmint Energy designs all of our projects to comply with all applicable regulations and requirements — including Minnesota’s rigorous standards for Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) — while ensuring the health and safety of the communities we serve are a top priority The Minnesota Public Utilities Commission (PUC) is in the process of conducting its detailed Environmental Assessment (EA) of our Midwater BESS and Spearmint continues to engage with numerous stakeholders We remain committed to ensuring we address the community’s feedback as we bring this project to fruition.” Game Recap: Softball | 4/8/2025 7:23:00 PM the Wheeling University Softball team (6-32 3-11) finally made their trip to Glenville The Cardinals battled the Pioneers in a pair of one-run games but ended up on the wrong side of both matchups after being swept falling 1-0 before dropping a back and forth battle in game two 5-4 to round out the day The Cardinals would get a runner to scoring position on a single by Keke Warrix but the Cardinals would be held off the scoreboard Glenville State would break into the hit column in the bottom of that second inning but both pitchers were able to keep zeros on the board The score remained 0-0 after four innings before the first run was tallied in the bottom of the fifth The run would come with one out in the bottom of the fifth as Glenville State's Emma McLean sent a home run over the left field wall. It gave the Pioneers a 1-9 lead, but the Cardinals still had two more chances to get back on the board. Things looked good in the top of the sixth when Mummery picked up a leadoff single, followed by a two out single by Ava Kresak that put a runner in scoring position the zero remained and Shields would finish a strong night in the bottom of the sixth She finished the game throwing 6.0 innings of work allowing just one run on two hits while walking one and striking out five the Cardinals would get the bat on the ball for two of the three batters but they weren't able to push across a run as they fell 1-0 with each going 1-3 to round out the offense The Cardinals would look to generate more offense as they head into game two of the doubleheader Wheeling was held off the board in the top of the second but added to their lead in the third Mummery would single to center to bring home Carrillo and make it a 3-2 Cardinal lead Sanders stepped up next and continued her big day at the plate with an RBI single to bring home Morgan It was her third RBI of the day and the Cardinals were back out in front with a 4-2 advantage Glenville State for their own offense going in the bottom half of the inning It would signal the end of the day for Clark allowing five runs on six hits while walking two and striking out six Taufahema would come in to throw the final 1.1 scoreless frames while allowing three hits on the day The score remained 5-4 heading into the top of the seventh as the Cardinals looked to continue their push for the lead Miller would start the inning with a single but that was the only base runner for the Cardinals as they fell 5-4 The Wheeling University Softball team is back in action on Wednesday when they travel to West Liberty with first pitch at 3 PM Thanks for visiting ZANESVILLE — Maysville has history on its mind with a repeat trip to the OHSAA Division IV state championship game and its opponent is focused on the same goal is making its first trip to the state tournament Both programs are aiming for their first state title The sides face off in the state final at 4:15 p.m The Tarblooders (19-8) knocked off 21-win Streetsboro in the district finals before rallying past Akron Buchtel for a 79-60 victory in the regional semifinals They topped Warrensville Heights 50-40 in the regional final and rolled Gates Mills Hawken 62-42 in a state semifinal Glenville's appearance marks the first time a Senate League team has reached the state tournament since Cleveland East Tech did so in 2014 The Tarblooders are looking for the league's first state championship since East Tech topped Cincinnati Princeton in 1972 Glenville coach Bryon Ottix emphasized the importance of playing as a team to his players Once the Tarblooders followed that message but it came down to our guys being unselfish and buying in They couldn't have their own agendas," he said you could see they weren't playing together or playing hard enough Once they pushed their agendas to the back and started playing for each other I knew they had a chance for something special "It's been great to see how they have come together," he added "Their belief grew and they understood what we've been trying to accomplish leads the Tarblooders with 16 points and 6 rebounds per game are also among the offensive options for the Tarblooders who have won the Senate League three times in four years Facing a team like Cincinnati Wyoming has aided the Panthers in their preparation "We were able to catch up to Wyoming's speed as the game went on It helps to see a team like that before this game," he said They're faster and stronger so we have to play good help defense and crash the boards We've dealt with teams like that before so we feel ready to go." While 3-point shooting aided Maysville in its state semifinal win the Panthers missed opportunities around the hoop The Panthers were 12 of 21 behind the arc and 12 of 31 inside of it Coach Dave Brown knows Glenville will be a similar challenge to Wyoming in the post but making the most of those opportunities is crucial "They're big and more athletic than Wyoming We've focused on finishing around the rim and taking advantage of shot fakes We need to shoot off the square," Brown said "We also need to rebound and limit our turnovers so they can't get into transition We need to make that extra pass and try to get them out of position Ottix praised the Panthers' shooting prowess If the Tarblooders want to have a chance against the Panthers "They can shoot the ball well and space you out They put you in a tough spot when you're figuring out the best way to defend them," he said "When you face a team that can shoot 3s like them We can't get discouraged or start playing differently when they make some shots "We need to lean on our physicality and athleticism on offense We can't take bad shots and let them get into transition," he added we need to close out and stick to our game plan We have to be solid against a team like them to have a chance." (WRGB) — The Scotia-Glenville Central School District is grappling with a nearly $3 million budget shortfall including potential tax increases for homeowners or job cuts A recent presentation at a school board meeting revealed that the proposed budget is approximately $4 million more than the current one a tax levy increase of nearly 12% would be necessary This significant increase exceeds the tax cap of 3.25% meaning it would require at least 60% voter approval but the district says there will be no tax increases due to National Grid rebates and aid leaving time for adjustments before the final plan is presented to voters these final plans often undergo significant changes A summary of the budget items discussed during a recent school board meeting can be found here The full presentation on the budget from the board meeting can be found here A fire engulfs a vehicle next to the Stewart's Shop on Route 5 in Glenville Monday GLENVILLE - A Monday night car fire at the Stewart's on Route 5 in Glenville damaged the building The store was evacuated as the fire broke out and no one was hurt in the incident SCHENECTADY - A Schenectady man has been arrested Firefighters battle a house fire on West Glenville Road in Glenville on Thursday A home in west Glenville was destroyed Thursday in a fire that prompted a large regional response GLENVILLE — A home in west Glenville was destroyed Thursday in a fire that prompted a large regional response Flames broke out at 3911 West Glenville Road around 11 a.m. destroying the single-family home that sat at the top of a long driveway not far from the intersection of Wolf Hollow Road A car fire outside the Stewart’s on Route 5 in Glenville Monday night damaged the building Beukendaal Fire Chief Joshua Walter says the fire started around 7pm causing the flames to spread to the exterior Crews were able to stop it before it reached the inside of the store No one was hurt, but smoke, water, and ceiling damage kept the store closed through Tuesday.

A 23-year-old Cleveland man was sentenced Tuesday for fatally shooting a Glenville High School student-athlete in January 2024 At the beginning of the sentencing, Meonte Robinson asked to withdraw his guilty plea he entered last week Meonte Robinson pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter and having weapons while under disability for the death of Te’Vion Cunningham The judge denied his request and sentenced Robinson anyway Robinson was given consecutive sentences of 31 to 35.5 years He will not be eligible for probation or judicial release until after 31 years served The 17-year-old Cunningham was killed on Jan 2024 in the area of Seabrooke Avenue and East 222nd Street in Euclid Cunningham played both football and basketball at Glenville High School Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Michael O’Malley said Cunningham was trying to buy a gun from Robinson “This case is a perfect example of the carnage that guns are causing in our community” “We are seeing teenagers with increased access to guns a high school student went to purchase one and lost his life.” 1/33Glenville vs. Maysville, Div IV boys basketball finals, March 21, 2025.st1{fill-rule:evenodd;clip-rule:evenodd;fill:#2a2a2a}By Matt Goul, cleveland.comDAYTON Ohio — A somber finish to Glenville’s boys basketball season showed it’s more than a football program as coach Bryon Ottrix proclaimed a week ago as his team celebrated advancing to its first state championship game Without one more celebration Friday at the University of Dayton Arena, Ottrix continued to praise his players despite a 74-67 loss to Maysville for the OHSAA Division IV state championship “I’m not the one for moral victories,” he said but you gotta take the bitter with the sweet.” which saw Ottrix elevate Glenville (19-9) in his first year as coach since taking over the program from Michael Holt Ottrix credited Holt’s tutelage in recent years When Holt returned to the bench after a battle with leukemia he sat and let Ottrix take the lead from their sideline He also allowed Ottrix take a more active role in practices Glenville got back to regionals for the first time since 2007 with consecutive appearances in 2022 and ’23 The Tarblooders nearly made another Sweet 16 run last year as Ottrix slowly began to put his own stamp on the program The Tarblooders won their third Senate League championship in the last four seasons as second straight in the bridge from Holt to Ottrix who brought back third-year starting point guard Theo Castro but found a 6-foot-5 force in senior forward Xavier Vickerstaff “This kid puts in a tremendous amount of work His preparation allowed him to make the shots and make the plays he needed to make.” Vickerstaff worked throughout the last year with his father as the left-handed shooter knocked down five 3-pointer to push Glenville ahead of Maysville (27-3) for much of their game “I learned that you can’t just shoot wide-open shots,” Vickerstaff said I get a lot of my stuff from guys like Gilbert Arenas and Steph Curry The breathing techniques and the game-like situation drills Vickerstaff led Glenville in scoring and rebounding this season and he did it once more in his final high school game with 21 points and 13 rebounds He hopes his inside-out flare will take him to the next level in college Vickerstaff does not have that figured out He plans to play AAU this spring with All-Ohio Red and hopes to attract more interest from colleges In four years of high school, he bounced from Cornerstone Christian to Mayfield and finally Glenville. Ottrix welcomed Vickerstaff like how Holt took him in as an assistant coach 10 years ago They didn’t have much to offer but a chance to work “I don’t know how many people here have ever been to Glenville High School but we don’t really have a weight room,” Ottrix said We really have to grind and we really have to believe and do the work.” Contact sports reporter Matt Goul on X (@mgoul), Threads (@mgoul), Bluesky (@mgoul.bsky.social) or email (mgoul@cleveland.com) Use of and/or registration on any portion of this site constitutes acceptance of our User Agreement, (updated 8/1/2024) and acknowledgement of our Privacy Policy, and Your Privacy Choices and Rights (updated 1/1/2025) © 2025 Advance Local Media LLC.
