Staff Report
Kirtland Fire Department recently purchased high-tech cardiac monitors for its ambulances courtesy of an Assistance to Firefighters grant, said Fire Chief Anthony Hutton Oct. 7. “We’ll probably be the first department in Lake County to have those,” Hutton told Kirtland City Council during its regular meeting. “The life-pack 35 monitors are cardiac monitors that we keep in our front line ambulances. “It does everything from cardiac monitoring to blood pressure, carbon monoxide detector, tracks our drugs that we give. This unit does everything,” Hutton added. “We’re pretty excited about getting these.” See Cardiac • Page 4

Kirtland’s Nick Nead had a season to remember as the sophomore concluded an impressive campaign by qualifying for the Division III state tournament. “I exceeded my expectations,” Nead said. “My expectations were to go to district and do well and I exceeded that by going to state. I’m proud of myself because I worked very hard.” Nead shot a 159 over two rounds at NorthStar Golf Club in Columbus to finish 20th at the state tournament. Nead talked about how challenging the course was. “I would say it’s more difficult (the district),” Nead said. “The greens were a lot faster and harder to read. The fairways were hard to hit and very firm. District was a shorter course.” Nead had never played at NorthStar before. Normally, Nead See Nead• Page 10

Talty Officially Crowned New Kiwanis President By Donna Robinson editor@karlovecmedia.com
Roughly 50 people filled the Pine Ridge Country Club Oct. 3 to watch Kathy Talty officially become the new 2024/2025 president of the Kiwanis Club of Kirtland. During the induction-ceremony, key-note speakers touted the success Talty has brought Kirtland Kiwanis since she and her husband, Bob Talty — residents of Kirtland for the past 23 years — joined four years ago. “I was interviewing the Kiwanis as a school board member,” Talty recalled during her remarks. “We were inquiring what they would like to see in our next superintendent, noticing the representatives were all men. I asked if they had any women in their club. They said, ‘Yes, but not many.” That’s when I decided to join.” Currently, the club has 72 members, with Talty being the 65th president and the fifth female president.

“Our own powerhouse for the (Kirtland) Library, Deloris C. Parsons, was (constantly nudged) to be a member and eventually, she succeeded as the first woman to join, I
believe,” Talty said. “This evening, I am proud as a member of the community, as a former school board member, as the president of Deloris C. Parsons Endowment Fund
