Waterline work baffles trustees
By JOAN DEMIRJIAN
Construction of a city waterline on Fairmount Road in Russell is being questioned by Township Trustees.
At the trustees' meeting March 3, Trustee James Mueller asked how the waterline is being extended to the Laurel School property without township knowledge or approval.
Trustee James Dickinson said the waterline comes down County Line to connect to properties in Hunting Valley. Plans call for it to be extended east on the north side of Fairmount Road to Laurel School.
There were discussions about the line, Trustee Kristina Port said, but if the permits have not been obtained, she said, "They can't just go ahead with the project."

City not in hurry to extend sewers
By SUE REID
Until the city is faced with development, Solon's Public Works Director James S. Stanek asked the public works committee last week that discussion of extending sanitary sewer service to those residents living along Chagrin River Road in Solon end for now.
"The project doesn't make sense until development is involved," Mr. Stanek said.
He and members of the committee revisited the discussion regarding extending sanitary-sewer service to that area.
"This is the largest potential unsewered area left in the city," Mr. Stanek said. Currently, the eight homes on the road are on septic systems. Chagrin River Road is one of a few isolated areas where the city does not have sanitary service.
But sewers in the area are not a viable project for the city at this time, Mr. Stanek said.

"B-------," Mr. Coleman said as Mr. Ronyak claimed that the legislation was only in response to Mr. Coleman's son being involved in an accident in the area.
After repeating the word, Mayor Thomas Blair Sr. used the gavel to restore decorum.

Hawken girls win 12th staright swim title
By STEVE NOVAK
When one of the swimmers from this year's Hawken girls team was asked if there was pressure at the 2010 state meet because of the school's string of 11 straight state titles, her answer showed equal amounts of poise and confidence.
"We like to look at the accomplishments of each individual year, not at the history of the past wins," Hawken's Carrie Bencic said. "We're extremely proud of what we've done."

Girl Scout cookie sales to light up the day
By SUE HOFFMAN
People commonly turn on their front porch lights at Halloween to show they welcome trick-or-treaters. This week, it's time to put the lights on for another reason - to buy Girl Scout cookies.
As the Girl Scouts celebrate their 98th anniversary and Girl Scout Week from March 7 to 13, they are launching their new "Lights on for Girl Scouts" cookie sales campaign.
Residents who find a sticky note on their front doors know that the Girl Scouts are in the area. The note will tell them what day and time they will be selling the cookies door-to-door. Those interested in making a purchase should just turn on their porch light at the designated time.
