Tyler Crittenden retires-

 

After serving almost 8 years as a Village of Wadsworth trustee, Tyler Crittenden has retired.



Known for bringing creative ideas, some of which were "off the wall," he brought a sense of humor to the village board and a knack for bringing discussions back to the main point if they went off course.

A lifelong Wadsworth resident, Crittenden knows the village and its residents well.  He loves music and fixing up old cars.

His new place of residence will be wherever his pick-up truck pulls his big camper... he plans to see the United States and especially the deep south of Alabama.

We will all miss not only his personality but also his contributions to the Village. If you would like to wish him Godspeed, bon voyage, good bye, good riddance!, or whatever, here's his email address:

                     tycrit16@gmail.com
  
Oh, the "good riddance?"  Tyler has a wonderful, self-deprecating sense of humor and he'll especially appreciate your heartfelt jabs!

Tree removal and trimming-

Our autumn tree removal and trimming operations will commence shortly with work being performed by two Wadsworth contractors:  Bowline Tree Service LLC and JR Tree Service Co. 

Due to ash borer disease, natural causes, and other factors, many trees on village property and right-of-ways need to be removed or heavily pruned.  Tree removal/trimming activities will take place withinin the Southeast District, Northwoods Drive, Shagbark Lane, Dilleys Road, Kelly Road, the Willows, Mill Creek Woodlands, Old Russell Road, Delany Road, Waverly Street and Wadsworth Trails.
Sheriff to host town hall meetings-

The Lake County Sheriff's Office is pleased to announce five upcoming town hall meetings. Each of the five town hall meetings will be held at different locations throughout Lake County. Sheriff Mark Curran, Undersheriff Ray Rose, and many other members of the Lake County Sheriff's Office will participate in each of the town hall meetings.

The purpose of the town hall meetings is to interactively show the community the many initiatives the Lake County Sheriff's Office is leading in Lake County. Items to be discussed include: implementation of body-worn cameras, mental health initiatives, procedural justice programs, and discussion of the many other programs and responsibilities of the Lake County Sheriff's Office.

Sheriff Mark Curran said, "We are looking forward to addressing the community in an open discussion on the programs, initiatives, and future of the Lake County Sheriff's Office. Please save one of the five dates and join us for an informative evening. I look forward to seeing you!"

Undersheriff Ray Rose said, "We at the Lake County Sheriff's Office pride ourselves in being transparent and trustworthy, which is exactly why we are excited to see you at a town hall meeting. These town hall meetings will be an opportunity for the community to get an inside look at the sheriff's office and ask us questions."
