Was this really worthy of front page news in the Plain Dealer? On December 26, these Barringtonites were featured on the front page. Money doesn’t buy happiness. Read the whole story here, inquiring minds want to know.
By August or September 2007 a new master plan should be finalized. Watch for public opinion opportunities. This plan will determine a number of city improvements and developments. According to Mayor McGill, one of the most important issues is aligning the master pan with the current zoning maps. This very important project is staffed by residents George Balog, Shelia Evans, Bill Liston, Joe Lykins, Maureen McKenzie, Jane Pennock, Ann Schoff, Gordon Ober, Rita Scott and Plannign Director Rich Wehrenberg.
The next council meeting, January 4th, should decide the speed limit on Bissell Rd. Councilman Rausch indicated that the residents of Hawthorne felt inconvenienced by the posted speed of 25 mph, and got the ball rolling to raise the limit, so they could legally go 35 mph with out their kids looking over their shoulders. Somebody got ODOT involved. It seems that if a road has state highways on either end the speed limit should be 35mph. Councilman Hettinger who lives on the road said it would be rediculous to change the speed limit. Discussion ensued with Andre Buehler of Walden saying that the speed limit between W. Pioneer and Aurora-Hudson Rds. should remain 25 due to hilly conditions and safety concerns at the Walden intersections. Well see what happens, first the road ogt improved and widened a bit now this issue.

The Township agrees to pay Read the rest of this entry »
As we stood in the stands after losing the game to Steubenville, my child remarked that the Big Red fans don’t even seem to care. It was true, more than half of their fans were gone by the end of the game and those remaining seemed rather indifferent.
However on the Aurora side of the field, the players showed their appreciation to the fans, as the fans stood and cheered. We cheered the band, we cheered the cheerleaders, we cheered the coaches and players. They had been there through some lousy weather and through the whole season. We appreciated their efforts.
The whole town seemed to be there at the game. Well at least several thousand. Lots of families, teens, lots of empty nesters. Read the rest of this entry »

The Plain Dealer has picked Aurora to win! And they had this too.
A link to the story
Thanks for the donation of these flags by a civic-minded local veteran.
The cemetery looks great on the special occasion when they fly!
Thanks to the labors of local Boy Scout troop 269 and Ian Cassidy the Molnar Sancuary on Page Rd is easier to visit. The sancuary is located on Page Rd between E. Pioneer and E. Mennonite. You can park at Sunny Lake and walk to the trailhead or park just past the trailhead on the east side of the road.
So is the football team good enought to beat Walsh?

The boat house area is disgusting!
Here is a repost of a December post. Since construction is ongoing at this time this will refresh your memory.
City Council approved spending $98,664 on the skatepark. Depsite concerns for the safety of kids using the facility, construction will begin soon. 
Resident Wally Sweitz from Chatham delivered a packet of safety information to council but he was a little late to the party. This issue has been discussed for over a year and was approved by the Parks and Rcreation Committee. Regulations for use of the facility will be forthcoming, but if other skateparks are any indication, there will be rules posted but they will not be enforced nor will the facility be supervised. It seems that the location near the Fire Station will ensure that the users will not vanalize or deface the property.
We’ve included the site plans for the entire park area. [If you click on the thumbnail you ‘ll get a larger image].You’ll see the skatepark location just past deep center field of the main ball diamond. Most of these improvements are in the planning stages. Here’s a chance to voice you opinion.
A new library may be in the future for Aurora, along with higher taxes. Is it worth it to you?
Whatever happened to this project? We paid for the study, where’s the plan?
Or is it Relay for Wife’s
Why do you participate? Is it social? Or is it to raise money?
