New Lincoln-West School to Have Space at MetroHealth

CMSD NEWS BUREAU

CMSD’s new Lincoln-West School of Science and Health will be based partly at the MetroHealth System’s main campus.

District and hospital leaders believe the school, which will open July 25 with ninth- and 10th-graders, may be the only one in the country located within a hospital.

Tenth-graders will attend classes at MetroHealth three days a week, while ninth-graders visit weekly. The students will interact with professionals and observe the medical, business and other careers available in the healthcare industry. The juniors and seniors who come later will take coursework at Lincoln-West and online and serve internships.

“The Lincoln-West School of Science and Health will expose students to the hundreds of jobs available in healthcare, jobs that will guarantee them a sound and safe future,” Dr. Akram Boutros, MetroHealth’s president and chief executive officer, said at annual stakeholders meeting Thursday at the Global Center for Health Innovation. He listed the school among accomplishments and plans that address the health and well-being of Cuyahoga County residents. Continue reading

Resident Security Network Camera Installation

A special report by The Tremonster

BEWARE TREMONT CRIMINALS:

The first home security cameras are being installed by the resident-based Security Cameras for Tremont program. Tremont has been surveyed, and residents have volunteered to have their homes hardwired for the neighborhood-wide security camera network.

A grassroots effort to deter future crime began on August 28th when Paul Duda, a Tremont home and business owner who has lived in Tremont for 15 years, launched a GOFUNDME.com campaign for “Security Cameras for Tremont.” Continue reading

Get In The Car Kids, We Are Taking A Trip. To Where? Wintertime, Naturally!

By Joshua York
It was getting to be late January, and I was standing river-side in the Chagrin Reservation, squinting into the mild sun hazily illuminated through the overcast cloud cover. My friend Pud’n’Snack walked up from behind me, and she poked a stick lazily a couple times into the slushy snow at the river’s edge. We were both a little disappointed yet again this winter. As pretty as the little falls near Squaw Rock looked, with the rocks all spackled with an inch or two of wet snow and the river flowing through glossy ice chutes, it just wasn’t exactly the scene we had set out to enjoy.

Pud’n’Snack and I had heard that we were getting 6 to 8 inches of snow today and decided to blow off some Wednesday work and get down with some sled-riding. Continue reading

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!”
