🕳️ Navigating Pothole Problems: Who to Call for Road Repairs in Mentor

Potholes can cause significant damage to vehicles, ranging from tire punctures and wheel damage to more serious issues affecting your car's alignment and suspension.

For general road maintenance inquiries and reporting potholes on public roads, the Public Works department is your go-to contact. They are responsible for the upkeep and repair of public streets. If you come across a pothole on a public road, you can reach out to the Public Works department at (440) 974-5781 or via email at [email protected]. Prompt reporting can help prevent potential vehicle damage and ensure timely repairs.

🏀 Mentor High's Cardinal Girls Triumph Over Cleveland Hay

Congratulations to Mentor High School's Cardinal Girls Basketball Team for their outstanding victory over Cleveland Hay, with a final score of 57-39! A special shoutout to Chicone for her incredible performance, achieving career highs with 9 rebounds and 7 steals. Rodriguez also made a significant impact with 6 assists. Hawley's impressive skills led the team in scoring with 16 points. These young athletes are showcasing true talent and teamwork. Way to go, Cardinals! Keep up the fantastic work!"

🏈 Ken Dorsey New Browns Offensive Coordinator

The Cleveland Browns have made a significant move by hiring Ken Dorsey, the former Buffalo Bills offensive coordinator, as their new offensive coordinator. This decision follows a series of changes in the Browns' coaching staff after a disappointing finish in the 2023-2024 season, where they only made it to one playoff game. Dorsey, who previously played as a quarterback for the Browns from 2006 to 2008, will be replacing Alex Van Pelt in this role. Additionally, the Browns have also hired Jacques Cesaire, previously with the Houston Texans, as their defensive line coach.

🏈 Super Bowl Match-up Set

The Kansas City Chiefs secured their place as the AFC champions and will be representing the AFC in the Super Bowl as they defeated the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday 17-10.

The Chiefs will be facing the San Francisco 49ers who defeated the Detroit Lions, for the NFC championship by a score of 34-31. Detroit led by 17 points, 24-7, at the half. However, the 49ers stormed back in the second half to take the lead and win the matchup. The Super Bowl will be held in Las Vegas, NV on Sunday February 11th… kickoff at 6:30pm Eastern.
