"I have lived in the area since February 2012 and have driven down Mentor Avenue many times
without really considering the majestic house that sits on the large lot at 8095 Mentor Ave. This is surprising because deep down I am a history buff; I have a picture of my 1 year old son at Gen Patton's grave and I once took my pregnant wife on a tour of the Verdun battlefield in France - that was not a good idea. That all changed when I was asked by Tim Shirer the Publisher of the Lake County Sentinel to accompany him on a tour of the President Garfield Historical Site to take pictures with him for an article.

She was the crossing guard at Wickliffe Elementary (formerly Lincoln Elementary 1923-1982). She crossed “her kids” in warm, hot, cold, blistering cold, sunny, rainy, and snowy weather with care.
Friday was the last day of school for Wickliffe Elementary School students and the end of the 28 year journey for Vicki. It was also the end of the road for venerable Wickliffe Elementary as the school will close after 101 years. Click here for the whole story

Cavaliers eliminated from playoffs with 114-105 loss in game five

CAVS BET WRITER
(CLEVELAND, OH) - Entering Tuesday night’s game, the Cleveland Cavaliers backs were against the wall. The Cavs trail the Indiana Pacers 3-1 in their Eastern Conference semifinals series. The Cavs were absolutely blown out of Gainbridge Fieldhouse on Sunday night 129-109, trailing by as much as 44 points in the game. To make matters worse Cavs superstar and MVP candidate Donovan Mitchell left the game after spraining his left ankle during halftime shoot around and never came out of the locker room for the second half. It was apparent after the first quarter that Mitchell was playing on guts alone as he scored only six points in the second and third quarters combined, but gutted it out to finish the game with 16 points in the fourth quarter finishing with 35 points but it was not enough as the Pacers eliminated the Cavs 114-105.
