Featured Event… Free Hypnosis Program

If you’d like help keeping your New Year’s resolutions, hypnosis could be the answer.  January is a great time to learn about hypnosis, as professionals around the globe offer free programs to celebrate World Hypnotism Day.

Near the Lakewood-Cleveland border, a free informational program will be presented by Jerome Masek, who has worked with more than 900 clients since becoming certified in hypnosis and stress management by the National Guild of Hypnotists. A West Park resident, Masek serves on the Board of the NE Ohio Chapter of the American Holistic Medical Association.

The program is from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Saturday, January 7th, at the Lakewood Holistic Wellness Center, 16903 Fischer Road (off Rocky River Drive, near the McKinley Avenue entrance to I-90).

The program will include a demonstration of hypnosis and a group session and there will be ample time for questions.  For more information about this event or hypnosis in general, call Masek at 216.210.5504.

I hope everyone has a “Happy Thanksgiving.”
Sharing, laughter and love with family and friends.
Also, take a moment to think about our Military who are unable to share this holiday with us.  Keep them in your thoughts and or prayers.

Thank you Willy for expressing those sentiments, which mean so much to so many Buzzers near and far.

Today, Thanksgiving Day, is also Lakewood Buzz’s 11th birthday – only possible because of thousands of loyal Buzzers old and new. When I started the Buzz it was an independent social experiment that I hoped would last maybe a year, then two, then three, then maybe…

We’ve never taken anything or year for granted, especially early on when the Buzz was a target of ridicule and legal threats from some, because our goal was to be inclusive, to give everyone an equal opportunity soapbox to share diverse opinions and information.

So on behalf of Lakewood Buzz’s team of workerbees, thank you Buzzers and thank you sponsors. I wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving and…

All the Best,

Lakewood Signs Cuyahoga County Agreement

Official Seal of the City of Lakewood Ohio

Economic Development Compact May Discourage Raiding

Lakewood Ohio Mayor Michael P. Summers has signed an “anti-poaching” economic development agreement with Cuyahoga County government.  At its November 7, 2011 meeting, Lakewood City Council passed a resolution authorizing him to enter into an anti-poaching agreement with Cuyahoga County Executive (and former Lakewood Mayor) Edward FitzGerald, who has asked all communities in the county to sign.

According to a press release issued by the mayor’s office today, the agreement “is to encourage responsible, forward thinking economic development activities by communities within Cuyahoga County at no great peril to the livelihood of neighboring communities.  The agreement identifies more specific purposes, including:

  • Facilitating interactions between the county and communities to promote economic development;
  • Establishing a county-based “one-stop shop” for businesses considering location or expansion in Cuyahoga County;
  • Expressing the commitment of the participating communities that they will not actively pursue the relocation of a business that has not indicated that it is considering a move from its current location in another participating community;
  • And in instances where a business is exploring a possible move, establishing procedures to balance the interest of the business’ home community and other participating communities.”

Stated Summers, “The elements for this agreement lay the foundation for better regional cooperation and advancement in a more equitable manner. I have grown to understand and appreciate that Lakewood, and all Cuyahoga communities, need to transcend from viewing ourselves as being a community in Cuyahoga County towards a community that is part of Cuyahoga County.”
