At the start of the pandemic in March we took the decision to make online access to our news free of charge by taking down our paywall. At a time where accurate information about Covid-19 was vital to our community, this was the right decision – even though it meant a drop in our income. In order to help safeguard the future of our journalism, the time has now come to reinstate our paywall, However,
rest assured that access to all Covid related news will still remain free.
To access all other news will require a subscription, as it did pre-pandemic. The good news is that for the whole of December we will be running a special discounted offer to get 3 months access for the price of one month. Thank you for supporting us during this incredibly challenging time.

EASTLAKE, Ohio Some stories are just meant for “Dateline.”
This one unfolded out of Eastlake nearly ten years ago, when 41-year-old Christine Metter went on Facebook to complain that her ex-husband, David Metter, was abusive during their marriage. Metter s friend, Patrick Sabo of Lake County, joked that she should hire a hitman.
Authorities say Metter took the joke seriously and that she and her father, 77-year-old Al Zombory, met with Sabo at a Lake County restaurant and gave him $3,000 to find someone to do the job.
