🦟 Updated Mosquito Treatment Schedule Released for Lake County

The Lake County General Health District (LCGHD) has issued an updated mosquito treatment schedule for summer 2025. Targeting densely populated areas, the effort aims to reduce mosquito-borne illnesses such as La Crosse Encephalitis, St. Louis Encephalitis, and West Nile Virus.

The next scheduled spray is set for Monday, July 7, in Mentor 1B, which includes the eastern part of Mentor—specifically the Center/Munson area, Lagoons, LSB, and Corduroy Road—weather permitting.

Spraying may be delayed or canceled due to:

• Low mosquito counts

• Winds over 15 mph

• Rain chances above 50%

• Temperatures under 55°F

• Mechanical issues or Air Quality Advisories

Treatment decisions are based on trap data, complaints, and past activity. LCGHD is licensed by the Ohio Department of Agriculture for pesticide use.

For updates, residents can call the 24-hour Mosquito Hotline at (440) 350-2088 or visit LCGHD's mosquito control page. Weekday phone support is also available at (440) 350-2543.

📰 Fourth of July Fire Causes $50K in Damage in Painesville

Firefighters responded to a residential blaze in the 1800 block of Spruce Lane in Painesville during the early morning hours of July 4. Crews arrived just after 12:40 a.m. to find smoke and flames pouring from the attached garage of a two-story home.

First responders quickly searched the house for occupants while beginning efforts to contain the fire. The scale of the blaze prompted automatic mutual aid from fire departments in Painesville Township, Concord Township, and Fairport Harbor. Additional assistance came from the Perry Joint Fire District, Madison Fire District, Leroy Township Fire Department, and Mentor Fire Department. Support was also provided by Painesville Police, Painesville Electric, and Northeast Ohio Gas.

The fire was eventually brought under control, and officials determined it began outside the garage, likely in a garbage can. The cause has been ruled accidental.

Both the main residence and a neighboring home suffered moderate damage. No injuries were reported, and initial damage is estimated at $50,000.

⚾ Guardians’ Slide Hits Eight as Tigers Edge Cleveland 2-1

The Cleveland Guardians' struggles continued Friday night with a 2-1 loss to the Detroit Tigers, extending their losing streak to eight games—their longest since a nine-game skid in 2021.

José Ramírez provided Cleveland’s only offense with a solo home run in the third inning, snapping an 0-for-21 slump and marking his 14th homer of the season. Despite a solid six-inning, 105-pitch outing from starter Slade Cecconi, the Guardians couldn’t generate enough offense to snap the skid.

Detroit answered with solo shots from Wenceel Pérez and Zach McKinstry in the third and fourth innings, and Cleveland missed key opportunities late. In the eighth, the Guardians loaded the bases with two outs, but Daniel Schneemann grounded out to end the threat. Steven Kwan kept hopes alive in the ninth with a two-out double, but Kyle Manzardo followed with a routine groundout to seal the loss.

Reliever Tyler Holton earned the win for Detroit, and Will Vest closed it out for his 14th save. Reese Olson allowed one run over 4 1/3 innings in his return from injury.

⚾ Rosario Homers, But Captains Can’t Keep Pace with Dragons

Following a dramatic 9–8 victory the night before, the Lake County Captains couldn't carry the momentum into Friday’s matchup, falling 5–1 to the Dayton Dragons at Classic Auto Group Park.

Jackson Humphries took the loss for Lake County, dropping to 0–8 on the season despite a respectable outing. Over four innings, the left-hander allowed just one earned run on three hits, but struggled with control, issuing four walks while striking out three.

The Captains struck first in the bottom of the first inning when Alfonsin Rosario belted his 12th home run of the year, a solo shot to left field.

Dayton responded in the third with a solo homer from Anthony Stephan, tying the game at 1–1. The Dragons took the lead in the fourth with an RBI double by Connor Burns and continued to add on in the sixth. Ariel Almonte's double brought home Peyton Stovall, and Victor Acosta later scored on a throwing error after stealing third.

Dayton tacked on one more in the eighth, when Acosta hit a double to drive in Carter Graham, bringing the final score to 5–1.
