BREAKING NEWS: Suspect Charged with Murder of Tri-C Student

Voice News anchors Bronson Peshlakai and Marc Prince highlight some stories featured in the very latest issue of The Voice newspaper which made its appearance on stands this week.

But first, BREAKING NEWS. A suspect has now been identified in the stabbing death of Anthony Martemus, a full-time student at Tri-C Metro Campus. This very new information is NOT included in the following newscast.

Tiaunna Hall, 21, did not enter a plea and denied a preliminary hearing on charges that she murdered her live-in boyfriend at an initial appearance in Cleveland Municipal Court.

Court documents indicate there was enough probable cause to charge Hall with murder and allowed the case to go to the Cuyahoga County grand jury.

The Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner released its final report calling Martemus’s death a suspected homicide. The summary said his cause of death was a “stab wound of torso with injury to heart.”

Hall remains in jail on a $200,000 bond. Tri-C officials confirmed Hall was not a student at Tri-C.

Utilizing video interviews and moving pictures, The Voice News newscast provides a different perspective to what’s happening on campus that is meant to enhance our print edition news coverage.

You’ll see the following stories in this newscast:

– An update on the death of a Tri-C student. A full-time construction engineering technology student’s life cut short, his death ruled a homicide.
– A collaboration between Tri-C and CSU to celebrate the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King’s “I have a dream” speech. Students share what their dreams are.
– Old Man Winter has had a firm grasp on Northeast Ohio. Former The Voice Western Campus reporter Brian Ivey is studying meteorology at Kent State University and offers his forecasting talent to us. What’s his forecast on when spring will arrive?
– A new series called “Behind the Headlines” makes its debut tomorrow with the theme “Missing Persons.” The Voice is one of the sponsors of the event and provides a preview on what the discussion will be. Missing girls held captive in Cleveland for more than a decade is just one of the topics to be talked about in this program moderated by WKYC anchor Russ Mitchell.

Victim Died from Stab Wound to Torso and Heart

By Bronson Peshlakai
Metro Editor-in-Chief

A woman charged in connection to the stabbing death of Tri-C student Anthony Martemus remains in jail under a $200,000 bond.

Tiaunna Hall, 21, did not enter a plea and denied a preliminary hearing on charges that she murdered her live-in boyfriend at an initial appearance in Cleveland Municipal Court.

Court documents indicate there was enough probable cause to charge Hall with murder and allowed the case to go to the Cuyahoga County grand jury.

The Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner released its final report calling Martemus’s death a suspected homicide.

The summary said his cause of death was a “stab wound of torso with injury to heart.”

On Feb. 6, Police responded to the 600 block of East 123rd Street on a domestic fight call at 10:59 p.m. and found the victim inside a residence with a stab wound to the chest. Martemus was transported to MetroHealth Medical Center where he was treated, then later pronounced dead at 11:40 p.m., a spokesperson for Cleveland Police said in a press release.

Hall was arrested on the scene. News reports indicate Martemus was a live-in boyfriend since November. Persons who knew him on the Tri-C Metro Campus have said he was having trouble with his relationship to Hall in the past few weeks.

The police report said Hall and Martemus were involved in an altercation when he suffered a stab wound to the chest.

“The manner in which the victim received the wound is under investigation,” the release said.

Martemus was seen regularly working out at the Metro Recreation and Wellness Center.

Anyone with information regarding this incident is asked to contact homicide investigators at 216-623-5464; anonymous information can be given through Crimestoppers.

The Voice will continue to receive updates surrounding new details related to this homicide and will post the latest information online at CCCVOICE.com.

Tri-C Students Brave the Winter Vortex

By Natalie Gasper
West Staff Reporter

Everyone in Cleveland knows the age-old adage “Don’t like the weather? Wait 15 minutes” is so very true around here. But no one was expecting the delightful bout of below freezing temperatures that passed through about a month ago, or the triple-storm system to kick start the month of February.

This has been one of the harshest winters to date, here and across the nation. Tri-C, not well-known for snow days, but was forced to shut its doors on three separate occasions since the New Year due to the extreme and unsafe conditions.

If you think it was bad here, imagine the faces of Atlanta residents when they gazed at the skies and saw snow beginning to fall. Mere inches descended there, but that was all it took to close highways, schools, and local businesses and stranding some people in their cars overnight.

All of these unusually frigid conditions were caused by something scientists refer to as a polar vortex. A polar vortex is a large relentless cyclone that is centered near one of Earth’s poles. It sits in the mid-upper troposphere and stratosphere which is where most of our weather forms. Spanning no more than about 600 miles, the cold, low-pressure air rotates counter-clockwise in the northern hemisphere, an effect of the Coriolis Effect.

The most common locations for the vortex centers in the north are Baffin Island and northeast Siberia. As a general rule, polar vortexes are weaker in the summer and stronger in the winter, but its strength often depends on events that occur months, or hundreds of miles away.
Often, these are in the tropics in the summer. An increase in volcanic eruptions can affect the intensity of a vortex for as long as a two year duration. It is easy to think of the two centers like spinning bicycle spokes. The center that sits over Baffin Island followed its yearly pattern, but this time with amped up force, caused it to reach further south and create colder temperatures and winter storms where January normally sees warm and sun.

This is not the first time that the effects of a polar vortex have been this noticeable. Some of our older students may remember the winter of 1985 when temperatures dropped to as low as -60 F, providing a wind chill in the eastern US of -18 F in Cleveland, and 7 F near Jacksonville, Fla. Lucky for everyone, it is unlikely that another set of below-freezing temperatures will make themselves known again this year. This doesn’t mean that we are out of the clear all together, as early February brought more snow accumulation, dangerous driving conditions, and icy winds.

According to the National Weather Service, greater Cleveland has not seen temperatures like this since Jan. 20, 1994 – on that day temperatures fell to a record low of -20 F below zero.

Armed with the knowledge that the worst is probably behind us, enjoy some of the things that winter has to offer like sledding, skating, or snowball fights. It’s only a matter of time before we start complaining about the heat and humidity. Until then, take extra time driving to class, and watch your step in the parking lots and sidewalks. Drifting snow and loose salt can be just as dangerous as ice and the bitter cold.

Forum to Discuss News Coverage and Stigma of Missing People

By Marc Prince
Metro Associate Editor

The social stigma and how local news organizations cover missing persons will be the topic of discussion at a forum to be held at the Tri-C Metro Campus Theater Feb. 20 at noon.

“Behind the Headlines,” a collaboration between Tri-C Student Life, the Press Club of Cleveland, and The Voice Newspaper, that will bring several different perspectives on missing person cases while discussing changes and challenges on how information is shared through the traditional media and social media.

National and local TV journalists squeezed in on Seymour Avenue down the street from where police investigators were getting a first look at Ariel Castro’s residence, the convicted kidnapper of Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus and Michelle Knight.

National and local TV journalists squeezed in on Seymour Avenue down the street from where police investigators were getting a first look at Ariel Castro’s residence, the convicted kidnapper of Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus and Michelle Knight.

Last year, the city of Cleveland was rocked by the discovery of three young women being held captive for more than a decade, and a couple years earlier, the discovery of missing women found dead in the home of Anthony Sowell on Imperial Avenue.

Now, it wasn’t so much the crime that tugged at our heart strings, but the fact that it happened “just down the street”…and that “it could’ve been anyone’s child.”

Tri-C Metro Student Life Coordinator, Melissa Swafford described the program as “the first in a planned series of programs set in order to provide a more in-depth exploration of newsworthy topics from many different perspectives.”

In this Behind the Headlines inaugural program, WKYC-TV managing editor and anchor, Russ Mitchell, will serve as host and moderator of the event which is already creating buzz among the younger students around the campus. Mitchell, along with panel members Valerie Brown, Tri-C sociology professor; Det. Jennifer Ciaccia, Cleveland Police public information officer; author James Renner; and Timothy McGinty, Cuyahoga County prosecutor; will provide information on how to work side-by-side to overcome this terrifying and often heart-breaking tragedy of our society.

“Missing persons is a very complicated issue and it’s changed over the years,” said Jack Hagan, Tri-C student media coordinator and veteran Plain Dealer reporter. “In the Seymour Avenue kidnappings the light really shone on missing persons, and we thought it would be interesting to engage the public in a discussion about it.”

The Behind the Headlines programs are completely free and the “Missing Persons” program is open to the public on Thursday, Feb. 20, from Noon to 1:30 p.m. in the Metro Campus Theatre. Further information about this or future Behind the Headlines events, contact Melissa Swafford at 216-987-3092.

In an age where technological advances are being made in the fields of everything from e-books to surgery, college students are incorporating new technologies in their own careers to make life a little easier.

Take for instance Anki. This app is a virtual flashcard system where professors and other students can create decks of information relating to a specific class for study. Users upload decks to the site to be shared with others. You can sync these to devices such as your Android or iPhone with the option to embed video, audio and photos. This makes learning a language or studying for that calculus test more interactive. Anki is available as a free app.

The iPad Mini seems to be another popular choice. Downloading electronic versions of college textbooks eliminates the hassle of going back and forth to and from locker to classroom. It also comes with a note-taking app. Apple’s Pages, a word processing app can also be downloaded.

Worried about accidently losing all that data? With a Dropbox account, storing and sharing text files and documents offers a secure vault that can be accessed from mobile devices and computers

Another free app as of Feb. 1, Microsoft 365 Office is being made free for currently enrolled Tri-C students enrolled in college credits. The software that has a retail value of $79.99 is free to use on up to five devices.

P.E. Classes Struggling to Stay Afloat

By Robert Fenbers
Sports Reporter

In an age where communication and technology classes are on the rise, one class seems to be falling behind.

Remember what your favorite class was in school? Admit it. You said “Phys Ed.” It seems like those days are long gone. Phys Ed classes have been declining over the years, more specifically, at the Tri-C Western Campus. It has become a familiar scene for students to log onto their MyTri-C Space looking to sign up for P.E. classes and see “canceled” across the registration screen.

This has left educators like Christine Phillips asking why?

“I am puzzled,” says Phillips, a 23-year veteran and faculty coordinator for the P. E. Department and, for the last half-decade, a full-time professor. She has seen the decline in person over the years.

“It has been a disconcerting downward trend in participation,” she said.

One factor may be the sheer number of classes available to take. There were 46 eligible classes at the beginning of registration for the 2014 spring semester at the Western Campus. As registration came to a close, 46 percent of those classes were in danger of being canceled.

Multiple offerings for the same courses contributed to this danger. This caused low enrollment numbers in each offering of the various classes. The solution was to cancel one course and hopefully the other would fill up, Phillips explained. That is exactly what happened.
On the other hand, the Metro Campus saw a rise in P.E. classes enrollment, but that statistic is deceiving as they only had 10 classes available.

Another reason for the decline may be competition. Phillips ensured the classrooms and school gym is a great learning environment filled with dedicated instructors to help improve your fitness and health. Yet some students choose to use a local gym rather than the school’s facilities.
Western Campus student Jodi Lonitro has done just that. She said she has not taken a P.E. class and does not plan on taking one in the future.

“Why would you want to go to a class when you can go to the gym?” Lonitro asked.

It seems like this ideal is becoming popular and may be a contributing factor to the drop in attendance of P.E. classes at Western.
Phillips said it’s all about being held accountable.

“Students sign up for P.E. classes because it fits into their day. Students want good instruction on Pilates, Zumba and how to actually workout and develop your own program.”

A seemingly forgotten aspect of the decline has been the older community residents. Many senior citizens end up not being able to take classes because they’re canceled due to low enrollment. Per the Program 60 program, any senior citizen over the age of 60 can register for P. E. classes after the class begins. Phillips has seen many seniors sign up, but not enough younger students.

The future of P.E classes is in question.

“My ideal future for P.E is that it be made mandatory again,” Phillips said. This would obviously improve attendance and help people become healthier. As of right now, P.E. classes are not mandatory at Tri-C, unlike four-year colleges where it is likely required.

“A while ago, years ago, it was taken off the books as being mandatory; I think that did our students a huge disservice. Students don’t do optional,” she said.

Two More Home Games Left in Season, Show Your Support

By Tommy Carosielli and Bronson Peshlakai
Sports Reporter, Metro Editor-in-Chief

It’s that time of year again! While you start to pencil in your picks for “March Madness” brackets, your hometown basketball teams here at Tri-C are making their own tournament push. After a slow start to their season, the men’s team is starting to right the ship, as they picked up back-to-back conference wins against Sinclair and Columbus State.

The team improves to 6-15 overall with a 3-4 conference mark. The team has worked hard and aims to continue this recent trend of success. They look to carry this momentum into the conference tournament.

A strong characteristic the men’s team has that should help propel them toward a championship is their 3-point percentage which is ranked 8th nationally at 42.2 percent. Edison Community College comes in second in the conference with 38.6 percent, which is ranked 20th in the nation in Division II, although their standings are 0-13 (0-7). The Challengers carry a good defensive rebound as well, ranking third in the conference, 24th in the nation.

The women’s team has struggled as well, but they look to create momentum going into their conference tournament as well. Though the record, 3-13 (1-6), may not speak to success, the women’s team has played in several close games and hanging tough against these higher ranked teams can create the energy and drive this team needs to have success in the conference tournament.

The women’s team’s claim to fame is having one of the least numbers of turnovers per game. Ranked fourth nationally in Div II, the Lady Challengers have an average 7.8 turnovers in all its games this season.

Come out and support your Challengers as they try to make their own “Cinderella Story” in the conference and national tournaments this season. There are only two more home games left in the conference season.

FREE ADMISSION, this Wednesday, Feb. 19, when the Challengers play the Lakeland Lakers, and a make-up game with the Owens Express, on Wednesday, Feb. 26 – both games at the Tri-C Eastern Campus – women play at 5:30, and men play at 7:30 p.m.

The final two games of the conference season are Saturday games: Feb. 22 at Sinclair (Dayton), and March 1 at Columbus State (Columbus).

Tri-C student Anthony Martemus, 28, died from a stab wound to his chest after an altercation with a 21-year-old woman Feb. 6. Martemus was seen working out at the Tri-C Metro Recreation and Wellness Center regularly and was a full-time student studying construction engineering technology. This photo was on his Facebook page.

The identity of a 28-year-old man fatally stabbed Feb. 6 has been released by the medical examiner’s office and The Voice newspaper has linked him to being a full-time Tri-C student.

Anthony Martemus enrolled at Tri-C Metro last fall and was carrying a full-time course load this semester studying construction engineering technology, a Tri-C spokesman confirmed.

Police responded to the 600 block of East 123rd Street on a domestic fight call at 10:59 p.m. and found the victim inside a residence with a stab wound to the chest. Martemus was transported to MetroHealth Medical Center where he was pronounced dead at 11:40 p.m., a spokesperson for Cleveland Police said in a press release.

A 21-year-old woman was arrested on the scene and has yet to be identified or her relation to Martemus.

The release stated a preliminary investigation revealed the arrested female and Martemus were involved in an altercation when he suffered a stab wound to the chest.

“The manner in which the victim received the wound is under investigation,” the release said.

The Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner’s Office confirmed the official cause of death is still pending.

Martemus was seen regularly working out at the Metro Recreation and Wellness Center. Family and friends have been expressing their disbelief and offering support to one another on Facebook posts.

Anyone with information regarding this incident is asked to contact homicide investigators at 216-623-5464, Anonymous information can be given through Crimestoppers.

February 6, 2014. What a difference 12 hours makes.

Now that the winter weather has passed, the road crews have had a chance to clear out the muck from the roads. ODOT became a salt truck in shining armor by announcing that they will deliver supplies of road salt to many local communities. In return, they are simply asking for equal quantities of salt delivered to be sent back to them, either later in the winter season or during the off-season.

Winter scene

School buildings are once again open for lessons, and walkways have been cleared. Most of the parking lots have also been plowed, although the school’s supply of salt has not yet been replenished. To view the grounds through the window, it looks like a winter wonderland you might see on a postcard or after-school special, not the aftermath of some horrendous winter weather.

According to weather.com, the five day forecast is going to be pretty much like today, with a higher chance of snow on the weekend. Plan on having classes the rest of the week.  While the weather will be behaving, please take your time getting to your destination.

Some staggering facts for you: according to ODOT, the amount of salt used through the end of January was over 620,000 tons of road salt.  This is nearly three times what we used up last year by this time, and almost double what was used for all of winter two years ago. There are still some communities that have not replenished their supply of salt, as noticed on this reporter’s commute in to school this morning, so some extra time is still recommended. For now, though, the roads and sidewalks are clear enough to come in. Check your school email or Blackboard classes for specific class information, just in case your instructor is one of those still “plowed in.”

Steve Faulkner, the press secretary for ODOT, confirmed that the department is footing the bill for more salt. ODOT is going for another contract this winter in a service offered specifically for some of the localities who have already run low. This salt will be delivered to “seven strategic locations” where communities will be able to receive salt. Faulkner confirmed that Cuyahoga County is one of these locations. This service “is being offered at no charge,” he stated.  The only condition is that any salt a community borrows be repaid either later this winter or during the off season.

This is possible because ODOT offers all communities in Ohio the opportunity to enter into a buying power agreement with ODOT, who has the capability of receiving up to 120% of the contracted amount of salt at the original price.  It is then up to the individual communities to arrange for payment and delivery locations. Any salt beyond that contract would then be delivered at the market rate.

Faulkner also requested that drivers who come across ODOT plows steer clear, and don’t get too close.  Let the plow drivers do their job in clearing the snow.  This also means to not follow too closely. What many people do not know is that there are many different approaches to clearing the snow and ice; “it’s not just a man or woman climbing into a plow” and clearing the snow.
