  • Mayor K.C. Zuber objected, but Avon Lake City Council members approved a $644,000 bid for more street repairs. Zuber’s main objection was that the funds were not budgeted and coming out of the city’s General Fund.
  • Do you have the guts?  Avon Lake’s David French does. He’s hoping to finish what could be a 48-hour race over the June 25 weekend. Running up mountains, biking, hauling logs and crawling under barbed wire are just a few items that might be included in the “Spartan Death Race.”
  •   Recognizing that scant few people got any raises at all during the recession, councilman Larry Meiners objected to Avon Lake Municipal Utilities issuing new job descriptions for three employees and new, higher salaries that went along with them.
  • Here’s a column that had huge readership proving if you put the words “poo poo” in a title, and write a column with a significant gross out rating, people will read it.
  • Smoke. Gunshots. Fire. That’s what’s involved with respectfully discarding more than 1,000 United States flags that are no longer presentable. If you’ve never seen the ceremony, mark June 14, 2012 on your calendar for next year’s Flag Day ceremony.
