📰 News we're reading
1. Painesville bridge project to affect Colonial Drive, Greenway Corridor (news-herald.com) — Bridge repairs will close part of Painesville’s Colonial Drive from Nov. 16 through Jan. 15, with an earlier reopening possible. The Greenway Corridor between Route 84 and Kensington Avenue will close Nov. 12, reopen for the weekend, then close for about a week starting Nov. 16; intermittent closures may follow. 
2. Judge made animal abusers feel on their own skin the suffering they caused (paipee.com) — Former Painesville Municipal Court Judge Michael Cicconetti became known for offering jail alternatives tied to defendants' offenses, including landfill work in an animal-neglect case. This retrospective revisits those unusual sentences and his stated goal of preventing repeat offenses, while noting that his claimed success rate lacks independent supporting research in the account.
3. Lake Erie, John Carroll men's basketball light up scoreboards (news-herald.com) — Lake Erie College’s men’s basketball team broke eight program records in a 151-41 home win over Penn State-Dubois on Nov. 9. The bench supplied 101 points, though coach Kyle Conley said he preferred a less lopsided result. John Carroll also posted a historic scoring night, beating Pitt-Bradford 126-86.
4. Salvation Army's Ring '26 Kettle Campaign officially underway (news-herald.com) — The Salvation Army Painesville Corps is launching its holiday kettle drive, with donations staying in Lake County to support food assistance, tutoring and other year-round services. Community bell-ringing begins Nov. 14 and continues through Dec. 25. Volunteers are still welcome as the organization faces rising costs and growing requests for help.
