š° Mentor Schools Food Market Reaches Over 100,000 Pounds of Produce Distributed
The video featured above is from August 2023 and provides a sense of what the Mentor Schools Food Market is all about.
The Mentor Schools Food Market has quickly become a cornerstone of community support in Mentor, distributing over 108,000 pounds of produce and aiding around 7,000 residents in under a year. Marking a significant milestone, the initiative surpassed 100,000 pounds of distributed produce during its 11th event, reflecting the strong community and volunteer support fueling its success.
š«Ā Celestial Spectacle: Eta Aquarid Meteor Shower Lights Up the Weekend Sky
This weekend, the skies will offer a spectacular show with the Eta Aquarid meteor shower, a dazzling event stemming from the remnants of Halley's Comet. The meteor shower is set to peak early Sunday morning, providing a celestial display that can be enjoyed under the minimal light of a waning crescent moon.
Annually occurring in early May, the Eta Aquarids promise an exciting range of 10 to 30 meteors per hour in the Northern Hemisphere, with even better visibility expected in the Southern Hemisphere. This astral event will be observable until May 27.
Meteor showers such as the Eta Aquarids are a frequent and wondrous natural phenomenon that do not require any special viewing equipment. Originating from the debris of comets like Halley's, these meteors become heated due to the friction of Earth's atmosphere, creating a radiant glow and leaving a fleeting trail in their wake.
For the best experience, viewers are advised to find a dark location away from city lights, ideally during the predawn hours. Optimal viewing conditions are typically found on clear, cloudless nights when the moon is least visible.
The American Meteor Society notes that while the Southern Hemisphere will enjoy the best views, the current phase of the moon at 14% illumination provides excellent viewing opportunities worldwide.
The next anticipated meteor shower is the Southern Delta Aquarid, which will reach its peak in late July.
š°Ā Cinco de Mayo: U.S. Revels in Mexican American Culture with Food, Dance, and Music

Cinco de Mayo in the United States is a celebration of Mexican American culture, featuring music, food, and dance, although its historical significance, marking the 1862 Mexican victory at the Battle of Puebla, is often overlooked. Unlike in Mexico, where the day is commemorated with historical reenactments, in the U.S. we celebrate if very differently. Originating in 1800s California, the day is now filled with parades, street food, mariachi competitions, and colorful baile folklĆ³rico performances, showcasing dancers in bright, ruffled dresses and shiny ribbons.
Itās crucial to note that Cinco de Mayo is not Mexican Independence Day, which is celebrated on September 16th, marking the start of Mexico's independence from Spain in 1810.

š„Ā Mentor Softball Secures Convincing Win, Improves to 9-0 in Conference
Following a disappointing loss to Austintown-Fitch earlier in the week and then a big win over Shaker Heights last night (16-2), the Mentor girls varsity softball team was impressive once again, defeating Notre Dame Cathedral Latin (NDCL) 7-1 on Saturday. Mentor's early offensive outburst, scoring three runs in the second inning, set the tone for the victory, demonstrating their resilience and competitive spirit.
Mentor's pitcher, Maggie Haydu, delivered a standout performance, pitching a complete game with six strikeouts and allowing just four hits and one unearned run. The team's offense was equally robust, tallying eight hits, including three doubles from Kobetitsch and Colon (two) and a triple by Bouffard.
This win elevates Mentor's season record to 16-7, maintaining a perfect 9-0 in conference play, while NDCL's record falls to 9-10.
š„Ā Gilmour Academy Lancers Rally to Decisive Win Over Mentor Cardinals
The Mentor Cardinals were outplayed by the Gilmour Academy Lancers in boys' varsity lacrosse, losing 12-5 after an initial tie in the first period. Post-game, Mentor's record fell to 6-7, while Gilmour Academy's improved to 4-5.

š³ļø 23 Crucial Tips to Enhance Your Cruise Experience: What Not to Do
Cruising can be an exceptional adventure, but it's not without its pitfalls. Having sailed on more than a dozen cruises, I've compiled a crucial list of what not to do to ensure your trip is as enjoyable as possible. Whether you're planning your first voyage or you're a seasoned sailor, these tips will help you navigate common cruising mistakes, save money, and enhance your experience.
Choosing the Right Cruise
Avoid Mega Ships if You Dislike Crowds: Not all cruise ships are colossal; smaller or river cruises offer a more intimate setting with fewer passengers.
Consider River Cruising for Calmer Waters: For those who prefer steady waters and scenic close-up views, river cruises, like those on the Danube, are ideal.
Planning and Packing
Understand Where and When to Tour: Deciding whether to book tours or explore on your own can be crucial. I share insights from stops in Croatia, Greece, and Turkey to help you choose.
Pack Smart: Overpacking is a common mistake. Remember, space in cabins is limited, and you'll likely acquire new items along your journey.
Onboard Advice
Manage Data Usage: Turn off data roaming to avoid unexpected charges, as cellular services at sea are expensive.
Skip the Buffet on the First Day: Avoid the initial rush at the buffet when everyone boards; explore other dining options for a more tranquil first meal.
Balance Dining: Enjoy the variety of food but avoid overeating. Utilizing stairs instead of elevators can help offset extra indulgence.
Be Wary of Drink Costs: Not all drinks are free, especially those carried around by waitstaff in souvenir glasses.
Excursions and Onboard Activities
Choose Excursions Wisely: Organized tours are great for convenience and in locations with long distances from the port, but exploring independently can be more rewarding and cost-effective.
Donāt Miss the Ship: Always ensure you leave plenty of time to return to the ship before it sails, particularly if you are not on a ship-organized tour.
Booking and Technology
Check Cruise Critic for Ship Reviews: Before booking, research on sites like Cruise Critic to find the perfect ship and itinerary that suits your preferences.
Use Online Check-In: Save time during the boarding process by checking in online and printing out necessary documents beforehand.
