Kelly Pavlik, Canfield Court
an operating a vehicle while impaired charge against professional boxer Kelly Pavlik was dismissed in a Friday plea deal due to lack of evidence, Pavlik’s lawyer said in court. The former middleweight champion then pleaded guilty to two minor misdemeanors, failure to control a vehicle and failure to report an accident; and Judge Scott Hunter fined him $150 on each count and gave him 30 days to pay. The failure to report charge was a lesser charge that replaced an original charge of leaving the scene of an accident. Pavlik was arrested Dec. 21 near his Sugarbush Drive home after authorities said he and a friend wrecked two all-terrain vehicles on a neighboring property, destroying a lamppost and causing other damage.

Beo Finds Temporary Home
Narrated by Elise Franco Like most healthy Labrador retrievers, Beo loves water and loves to fetch. The four-year-old black lab barrels toward the lake at his temporary home and leaps into the water after a stick thrown by a visitor. Once he grabs it, he paddles to the shore, jumps out, drops the stick, shakes off and waits for the next throw. Beo’s temporary home is with Paula and Dom Carella of Northeast Ohio Labrador Retriever Rescue, where he’s one of 19 labs and lab mixes. Beo’s owner, Private First Class Michelle Delvillan, and her husband, Robin Rodrigues, are stationed in South Korea with the Army. Delvillan left the dog with a family before she left last September, but that family could no longer care for the dog.

I don’t think he wanted to” fire Macejko, Tarpley said, adding that she considered Macejko a friend and was disappointed with the manner of his departure. “I respect the decision. I think it’s probably in the best interests of the community and the prosecutor’s office,” said the Rev. Kenneth Simon, pastor of New Bethel Baptist Church on the city’s South Side.
