Today's riddle: Why do Norway's navy ships all have barcodes? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Last-ditch lawsuit to save Shaker's Lomond oaks dismissed; removal starts this week (cleveland.com) — Neighbors on Lomond Boulevard in Shaker Heights just lost their court bid to save nine mature oak trees that will be removed this week for an $8.3 million sewer upgrade reconnecting 1,200 homes. Residents remain upset about tree loss, construction impacts, nighttime lighting changes, and communication from the city, even as officials argue the work is needed to stop sewage overflows and meet federal clean-water rules.
• NE Ohio high school football Top 25 rankings: Week 8, 2026 (cleveland.com) — This week's Northeast Ohio high school football rankings highlight a big Friday matchup in Shaker Heights, where Mentor visits in a key test after a lopsided loss to Strongsville. With playoff positioning tightening, several undefeated and ranked teams face pivotal games that could reshuffle the Top 25 and determine conference title races across the region.
• Ohio's 90-day gas tax holiday gets an uneven start at the pump (cleveland.com) — Ohio's new 90-day gas tax holiday is producing mixed results at local pumps, with some stations passing along the full savings and others barely budging. A BP on Chagrin Boulevard in Shaker Heights was among those whose prices didn't change, as state officials urge drivers to report suspected noncompliance and monitor whether promised relief actually reaches their wallets.
