Brunswick Buehler's closing October 21
|
|
Family-owned Buehler Food Markets Inc. announced it will
close its nine-year-old Brunswick store at 3688 Center Road, on Friday,
Oct. 21. It's a move that will cut about 125 full-time, part-time and
seasonal jobs.
Buehler's said it made "the painful decision to close" its
77,000-square-foot Brunswick store after evaluating its 14-store
portfolio and its lease options. "As the company continued to add
stores, remodel and refresh their current base of stores, they had some
hard decisions with respect to underperforming stores," the company said
in a statement.
Buehler's Chicago-based landlord at Brunswick Market Center
Plaza told the grocer that "'We are working with a third party on a
deal' and asked if we would consider leaving before our lease expired in
mid-2018," said Buehler's spokeswoman Deb Wilcox.

Main
Street Medina names new director
|
|
Jeremy Levine is just taking it all in
during his first days as Main Street Medina's new executive director.
The 42-year-old Strongsville resident and father of two is
getting started with downtown Medina's nonprofit economic development
firm by attending board meetings & planning sessions for events like
Main Street's Beer Fest Oct. 8.
"Medina really has this picturesque, small-town feel and as
I've come to find out, it has previously been tagged as 'America's
hometown.' I really got that sense right away," he said.
Levine replaced
Matt Wiederhold, who built the local chapter from
scratch in 2008 to one of the leading Main Street America organizations
of its kind. Wiederhold left earlier this year to become the director of
development at The Diversity Center of Northeast Ohio.

Brunswick Hills Police to hold levy meetings
|
|
Targeted community meetings are being held in support of a
Brunswick Hills Township police levy that
Chief Tim Sopkovich has said is needed to stave off
further personnel cuts.
Similar levies have failed twice within the past year.
Township residents will receive a flier at their home from a
Police Department-led committee, which organized meeting dates for
residents in "zones" of the community to provide information about the
proposed five-year, 2.5-mill levy on the Nov. 8 ballot.
"Residents are broken up to have their own specific
meetings," police department secretary Ellen Young said.
"We're trying to find the best way to get information out to
people."
Township leaders have been told if the levy doesn't pass,
cuts will be necessary.
"The department is in a position where there is a need to
increase the staffing and services to the community to meet these
demands," Sopkovich said.

Top
Dog Essay Contest for Medina County 4th graders
|
|
Some fourth-grader out there owns the top dog in Medina
County. Just don't let Rover eat the winning Top Dog essay.
Medina County Auditor
Mike Kovack is once again sponsoring the Top Dog Essay
Contest, which is open to all public, private and home-schooled
fourth-graders in Medina County.
The contest, in its 22nd year, is the annual
kick-off for the dog-licensing season, which this year runs from Dec. 1,
2016, to Jan. 31, 2017.
Essays are due back to the Auditor's Office by Nov. 7.
Winners - and their dogs - will be honored at a special ceremony Nov.
30.
"We absolutely love this contest. We get hundreds of essays
every year, ranging from the funniest ones you will ever see to ones
that absolutely break your heart," Kovack said.
"Writing about one's dog often inspires students in a way
that other assignments don't. It's a terrific opportunity for teachers
to integrate it into their lesson plans on composition and grammar," he
said.

Democracy is not simply a license to indulge individual
whims and
proclivities. It is also holding oneself
accountable to some
reasonable degree for the conditions
of peace and chaos
that impact the lives of those who
inhabit one's
beloved extended community.
