Today's riddle: Do you know what the two sides of a circle are? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. WESTSHORE: Report card shines for several 5-star districts (westlifenews.com) — Rocky River families can celebrate a stellar school year, with Rocky River City Schools earning a perfect five-star overall rating and ranking fifth in Ohio on the new state report card. The article breaks down scores in every category for Rocky River and neighboring Westshore districts, helping parents compare performance, graduation rates, and college and career readiness across the area.
2. More mistakes with local arrest warrants: I-Team (fox8.com) — Rocky River Municipal Court is again under scrutiny after Westlake police flagged multiple arrest warrants containing wrong personal information, raising safety concerns for officers and residents. Court officials blame a software conversion error and say all flawed warrants were withdrawn and reissued, with staff now double-checking data before sending it to police.
3. NORTH OLMSTED: City deals with two fatal shootings in week (westlifenews.com) — Rocky River residents should know that two recent North Olmsted family shootings, including a double homicide on Evelyn Drive and a fatal domestic incident on Lucydale Avenue, are being handled through Rocky River Municipal Court. Police describe both as isolated domestic cases, and the mayor is urging awareness of how unpredictable family violence can be even in quiet neighborhoods.
4. Charges dropped against teen who allegedly shot and killed his brother in North Olmsted (news5cleveland.com) — A recent North Olmsted family shooting case that passed through Rocky River Municipal Court has taken a major turn, with prosecutors dropping charges against 18-year-old Ameen Farraj. After reviewing 911 calls and other evidence, the county's Self Defense Committee concluded it likely could not disprove he acted in self-defense, clearing the way for his expected release from jail.
5. Kentucky commit Tristin Hughes will take official visit to Louisville (on3.com) — Rocky River High safety Tristin Hughes, a four-star recruit committed to Kentucky, is planning an official visit to Louisville this weekend, reopening his college options. The Greater Cleveland native is one of the Wildcats' top 2027 commits, so his trip to an ACC rival could signal a real battle for his eventual landing spot.
