Middleburg Heights awaits Baldwin Creek Preserve grant decision Beth Mlady, cleveland.com
MIDDLEBURG HEIGHTS, Ohio – A decision could come by the end of the month on whether a grant will be awarded to fund up to 75 percent of the land purchase for the proposed Baldwin Creek Preserve.
Middleburg Heights Mayor Matt Castelli updated City Council during the Feb. 9 council meeting.
A Clean Ohio Green Space Conservation Grant application was submitted to the Ohio Public Works Commission in August 2020. Castelli received council’s authorization last October to enter into a purchase agreement with the Western Reserve Land Conservancy for $285,500 to acquire 11 acres of property under the conservancy’s control.
Repairs underway to Coe Lake dam in Berea Beth Mlady, cleveland.com
BEREA, Ohio – Emergency repairs to an earthen dam separating the south edge of Coe Lake from Baldwin Creek began Jan. 7 and should be completed sometime later this week.
The dam, constructed with a sandstone base and capped with clay soil and rocks, had developed a significant breach that allowed water to flow between the lake and the creek.
Director of Public Service Paul Anzalone told City Council at its Jan. 4 meeting Coe Lake’s current water level is “draining slowly” to accommodate the work.
“Expect the water level to go down until the project is at a point where we can start to refill it again,” Anzalone said.

Picture perfect days, as in this view along Rocky River’s east bank in Berea, are a product of northern Ohio winters, but short days, long nights and slate-gray skies rule the season.

BEREA, Ohio Each year at about this time, many of us get to disliking winter’s cold, short and gloomy days, and thoughts turn to spring.
But with a pandemic running rampant and a need to spend so much of our time sequestered at home, the span of dark days from now until the vernal equinox can seem almost a bridge too far.
focus is reopening the airport. according to the mayor, that may not happen until next week. as you know, the airport is closed. it is still closed indefinitely, but we are working around the clock to see we hope to be up to 70% capacity by tomorrow. that will depend on getting the power back as soon as possible and we ll also depend on the airlines themselves. they re going to have to do some things and rearrange some things and move some facilities. many intense storms so far this spring. meteorologist benny schneider the weather center right now. fredicka, we have more information on the tornado in st. louis. it looks like the preliminary reports are tracking this as an ef 3, the gusts at 136 or higher. that means winds 130 or higher. that s the minimum that the first team on the scene is saying. it could be stronger than that. only 30% of tornadoes are e f 2s or higher. as we take a look at what s happening in stant lewis area right now, unfortunately more rain. h
