🧪 Check Water Quality Before You Swim: Daily Updates for Lake County Beaches

Before heading out for a day at the beach, visitors are encouraged to check the latest water quality updates to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience along Lake Erie’s shoreline.

The Lake County General Health District closely monitors bacteria levels at Headlands Beach State Park and Fairport Harbor Lakefront Park each day throughout the summer season, beginning on Memorial Day and continuing through Labor Day. Daily results are made publicly available online to help beachgoers make informed decisions about swimming conditions.

On-site signage at both beaches provides an at-a-glance indication of current water quality. Green typically means safe to swim, while red indicates elevated bacteria levels and potential health risks. Visitors should always look for these posted alerts before entering the water.

In addition to checking daily updates, health officials advise avoiding lake swimming for 24 to 48 hours following heavy rainfall—defined as more than half an inch of rain in a 24-hour period—as stormwater runoff often leads to a spike in bacteria levels. After any swim, it’s also recommended to shower as soon as possible to rinse off any contaminants.

For the most current information, beachgoers can visit the Lake County General Health District’s dedicated beach water quality page at www.lcghd.org/beaches. A few quick clicks can help ensure a safer, healthier visit to the water this summer.

🥎 Mentor’s Season Ends in 13-11 Heartbreaker Against Lincoln

The Mentor girls varsity softball team’s impressive regular season came to a sudden halt on Wednesday as they were edged out by the Lincoln Lions in a narrow 13-11 loss. After piling up 10 runs in their previous game, the Cardinals topped that output with 11 runs this time—but it wasn’t enough to continue their postseason journey.

The game marked the end of a dominant 16-game winning streak for Mentor, bringing their final season record to 22-8. Despite the defeat, several players delivered standout performances at the plate. Maddie Menough was a powerhouse, going 3-for-4 with a home run, five RBIs, and two runs scored. Ireland Rainey also had a strong outing, reaching base three times in four plate appearances and crossing the plate three times.

Contributions came from across the lineup. Kathryn Bouffard and Maggie Haydu both recorded 2-for-5 efforts, each with a double and an RBI, while Sophia Smalley chipped in with a hit and an RBI as well.

Lincoln, who now sits at 19-11, put on an aggressive offensive display, stealing 11 bases during the game. Though the Lions committed six errors compared to Mentor’s three, their offensive pressure and timely hitting proved to be the difference.

With no further games on their schedule, Mentor’s season concludes. Lincoln, however, advances to face Lancaster on Friday at 5:00 p.m. The Golden Gales will enter with a 16-game win streak of their own, setting the stage for a competitive showdown.

⚾ Cougars Claim First District Baseball Title in 14 Years with 3-0 Shutout

The Lake Catholic Cougars are district champions once again. For the first time in 14 years, the Cougars claimed the Division IV District title with a dominant 3-0 win over Holy Name on Thursday. Behind a stellar pitching performance and key offensive contributions, Lake Catholic sealed its place in the next round of postseason play.

The Cougars steadily built their lead, scoring one run each in the third, fifth, and sixth innings. A.J. Trobenter led the charge at the plate, going a perfect 3-for-3 with a home run, a double, and all three of the team’s RBIs. Patrick Radigan added a triple and scored a run, while Brayden Mann chipped in with a double. Pete Malchesky also contributed by reaching base in all three of his plate appearances, finishing 1-for-1 with two walks.

Radigan wasn't just a presence at the plate—he was unstoppable on the mound. The right-hander went the distance, throwing a complete-game shutout. Over seven innings, he gave up just two hits and two walks while striking out 12 batters to keep Holy Name off the board.

With the win, Lake Catholic advances to face Girard in the next round. That game is scheduled for June 3 at 2 p.m. on the Cougars’ home field.
