• Mayor's Corner: City Of Lakewood Continues All-Hands-On-Deck Approach To Keep Pressure On FirstEnergy (lakewoodobserver.com) — Lakewood's mayor outlines ongoing efforts to hold FirstEnergy accountable for repeated power outages and to block a proposed rate increase. City officials are pressing PUCO for penalties, emergency backup capacity, and a long-term grid upgrade, while City Council hearings keep residents informed and give neighbors a chance to speak directly to the utility.
• Welcome To Critter Corner (lakewoodobserver.com) — Lakewood residents get a new "Critter Corner" column focused on coexisting humanely with local wildlife, starting with possums. The piece explains why poisoning or trapping nuisance animals is illegal, how Lakewood Animal Control must follow Ohio law, and offers practical, low-cost tips to deter critters while protecting the city's ecosystem and public health.
