The possibility that the Cleveland Clinic could move Lakewood Hospital operations to Crocker Park in Westlake may seem remote, but some residents aren’t so sure. Recently, Beck Center for the Arts seriously considered moving to Crocker Park, until the City of Lakewood delivered a financial subsidy of around $100,000 to help keep Beck from leaving Lakewood. Residents want to learn more about the possibility that Lakewood Hospital could close and if any of the rumors are true. But, so far, Lakewood Mayor Michael Summers and Lakewood Council members are keeping quiet about the City’s hospital operating agreement with the Cleveland Clinic, the top discussion in the “Community Forum” again this week.

These are the latest discussions in the Community, Westshore Entrepreneur, and National forums today, plus the most recent Free Classifieds posted.

The Smokin’ Fez Monkeys will perform at Lakewood Public Library (LPL) on April 1st.  Really, we’re not fooling!  The modern jug band, with its old-fashioned ideas about having fun, should do for the LPL’s “Sunday With Friends” musical series what the Wienermobile did for the automobile. The band will play a grab bag of instruments and it’s said they play their hearts out if you just stamp your feet loud enough!  The free event starts at 1:00 p.m. at Lakewood Public Library, 15425 Detroit Avenue, in the Main Library Auditorium.  No reservations are needed.

The free “Sunday with the Friends” series is open to everybody, thanks to funding from the Friends of Lakewood Public Library. To learn more about the event or becoming a Friends of LPL member, call 216.226.8275 ext. 127.

Featured Event… County Exec Ed FitzGerald at SPJ Ethics Luncheon

By | Sat Jan 7 '12 | Cleveland Westshore, Cuyahoga County, Events, Government, Lakewood Ohio, Legislation, Local Politics, Mayor, News | No comments

With the trial of former Cuyahoga County Commissioner Jimmy Dimora on federal corruption charges starting, former County Auditor Frank Russo seeking to avoid a 21-year prison sentence, and more than 50 others having pled guilty to or been convicted of engaging in corruption in County government, the Cleveland Pro Chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists (SPJ) will present a public program to review the County’s efforts to create a more ethical culture.

Cuyahoga County Executive and former Lakewood Mayor Edward FitzGerald will be the featured speaker at an ethics luncheon-program on Wednesday, January 11th. Government reporter Harlan Spector of The Plain Dealer and Lynda Mayer of the League of Women Voters will be featured panelists at the event; both are experts on the County’s new ethics ordinance.

Today’s PD reports that, going into the second year of his term, FitzGerald has not hired an internal auditor as is required by the new government’s charter.

Lunch begins at noon and the program runs from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. at the City Club of Cleveland, 850 Euclid Avenue in downtown Cleveland. Luncheon tickets are $20 each.

To make a reservation or for more information, contact SPJ Secretary-Treasurer Tom Moore at 440.454.3282 or tmoore56@msn.com.  Tickets may also be reserved online by clicking here.
