PRISM is a short film holding open auditions in Tremont.  “We are interested in getting a wide variety of ages and ethnicities for these roles, particularly Black and Asian actors,” says director, writer, and producer Joe Kowalski, “This film is currently not paid, but we will supply food, IMDb credit, and free tickets to the Cedar Lee premiere later this year. Also, Henry Winkler has a cameo, so here’s your opportunity to be one degree away from him!”

PRISM is the latest venture from local Cleveland Filmmaker Joe Kowalski (Billie Bob Joe, One Day: A Musical, PogieJoe Productions). It is expected to be around 30 minutes long, and is ready to start on production as soon as they find the perfect cast.

PRISM is a short film about six individuals from two unique, dysfunctional families. The six individuals are each represented by a different color in this “complexly interlinked drama about love, loss, and meaning.” Continue reading

March 21-April 8: RTA holds 14 public meetings to discuss budget issues

On March 21, the Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority (RTA) begins a series of public meetings to gather comments about proposed fare increases for buses, trains and Paratransit, as well as proposed service modifications.

“These proposals will affect every customer, and we want to hear from you,” said Joe Calabrese, RTA CEO and General Manager. “By law, we must balance our budget. To be good stewards of public money, we must look at all possible alternatives. Your comments will help guide our final decision, which will be made April 26 by the Board of Trustees.”

Calabrese said that RTA needs to close a $7 million gap in the 2016 operating budget, passed by the Board in December. He blamed part of the problem on weak transit funding by the State.

At the public meetings, customers will be asked to comment on modifications to a number of routes being considered for full or partial cuts. RTA’s goal is to impact the least number of customers. Modifications to these routes will impact less than 2 percent of RTA’s current customers. Continue reading

Dear Friend

I wanted to let you know that this morning an announcement will be made regarding my resignation from Cleveland City Council this Spring.

I am leaving to join the team as President of Global Cleveland and am very excited to work on the effort to bring newcomers, immigrants, and refugees to this great city, the city we all love and call ours. I am also excited to talk about why we are able to welcome people from other places; because the people here in our great community make this a place worthy of welcoming old friends we’ve just met.

It has been the honor of a lifetime serving the great people of ward 3 and learning from you, laughing with you, building with you, growing with you, and taking our city and her amazing neighborhoods to the next level. Continue reading

History of the Walleye Drop

The “Walleye Drop” idea came to life when “Drop Man” Dan Sedlak, with the support of the “Big Fish” Mayor Tom Brown, presented his idea to the Ottawa County Visitors Bureau and the Port Clinton Chamber of Commerce. With the assistance of John Fellhauer, John’s dad-Bob, Dan’s brother Kevin and Ron Miller of OurGuest Inn, the Drop became a reality that cold December of 1996, and 20 years later the event is a huge success!

The event is an outdoor celebration (other than the heated tent) and its not uncommon to face less than 10-degree weather with the “special” Lake Erie wind chill! So bundle up! Brrrrrr….. Continue reading

So Long, Sammy!

Sammy Catania

Sammy Catania

A special report by The Tremonster

Terrible news in Tremont.  We learned only recently about the passing of Sammy Catania.

In an email Wednesday morning, Lynn Murray, Tremont West Board President, wrote, “Tremont West’s Development Director and our friend and neighbor Sammy Catania died yesterday.  Tentatively the funeral arrangements are a service at Trinity Cathedral at 2230 Euclid Ave, Cleveland, OH 44115 on Saturday, December 12th, at 9:30 am.  Please check the TWDC website for any updates.  Roberta is asking for cards with your ‘Sammy’ stories. You can drop the cards off at Tremont West or at the house.”

Catania’s presence will be missed day-to-day on Tremont’s streets, but he will also be missed as a presence in the long-term development of Tremont.
