Today's riddle: What do you call a belt that is made of watches? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. WESTSHORE: Glowing report card for several districts (westlifenews.com) — Avon Local Schools earned a top five-star overall rating on Ohio's latest school report cards, with especially strong marks in achievement, progress, gap closing, and graduation rate. For Avon families, the data show students performing near the top statewide, while also highlighting areas like early literacy and career readiness where the district still has room to grow alongside neighboring Westshore systems.
2. I-Team: Suspect in gold bar scam involving elderly caught in sting (fox8.com) — Avon police, working with county deputies and the FBI, arrested a Michigan man in town after an elderly victim lost $164,000 in a gold bar scam. Investigators say the case is tied to a larger operation with victims across Northeast Ohio, and they're urging Avon residents to hang up on suspicious calls and report any similar scams immediately.
3. High school boys soccer: Avon extends winning streak over Avon Lake to three with 2-0 victory (morningjournal.com) — Avon High School's boys soccer team tightened its grip on the Southwestern Conference race with a 2-0 win over rival Avon Lake, extending its shutout streak in the series to three matches. Strong defense and first-half goals from Cole Veverka and Valentino Cruzado highlighted a performance that showcased why Avon's back line is considered among the best in Ohio.
4. NORTH RIDGEVILLE: Petition supporters turn to protest at council meeting (westlifenews.com) — North Ridgeville residents packed a recent council meeting to protest the city's decision to join Lorain County's new "urban county" designation for federal housing grants, a move already approved by Avon and Avon Lake officials. While the mayor defends the change as bringing in more HUD money, some council members now say the process and communication with residents could have been handled much better.
