Previously highlighted in our April 9 newsletter and website coverage, this story now warrants a deeper look.

Mentor City Council recently moved forward with a plan to modernize the local police force’s equipment, approving the purchase of 155 new duty handguns for the Mentor Police Department. This initiative ensures that officers are equipped with up-to-date technology to maintain public safety across the community.

To help offset the cost of the new equipment, the city will trade in or sell 105 of the department’s current duty weapons. This cycle of refreshing equipment is a standard procedure for municipal law enforcement to ensure reliability and compatibility with modern safety standards. By replacing older models, the department aims to provide officers with the most dependable tools available while performing their daily duties.

Funding and logistics for the transition were finalized during the recent council session. For residents, this move represents a commitment to maintaining a high standard of professional service within the department. The transition to the new sidearms is expected to take place over the coming months as officers undergo any necessary training with the new equipment.

A Beachwood man has been indicted by a Lake County grand jury following an incident at the Great Lakes Mall earlier this year. Joshua Yanowitz, 40, faces multiple charges including attempted pandering of sexually oriented matter involving a minor and voyeurism.

The charges stem from an incident reported in July, where Yanowitz allegedly attempted to use a cell phone to record an 11-year-old boy inside a public restroom at the mall. Mentor Police responded to the scene and initiated the investigation that led to the current indictment. Court records indicate that the quick reporting of the suspicious behavior was instrumental in the suspect's identification.

The Great Lakes Mall remains a primary hub for our community, and local authorities are using this incident as a reminder for parents and guardians to remain vigilant in public spaces. The Mentor Police Department encourages anyone who witnesses suspicious activity to report it to security or local law enforcement immediately.

Yanowitz is scheduled for an upcoming court appearance in the Lake County Court of Common Pleas. We will continue to monitor the court proceedings and provide updates as they become available. For the full report and safety tips for families, please visit the city’s official safety resource page.

Residents across Lake County are raising concerns following a recent proposal for a large-scale data center in Perry. While the project promises significant investment in the local economy, many community members, including lifelong residents like Wally Siegal, are voicing opposition regarding the scale and location of the development.

The primary concerns among neighbors center on the potential impact on the rural character of the area, increased noise levels, and the massive energy and water requirements typical of such facilities. Many residents feel the proposed site is too close to established residential zones, fearing it will disrupt the quiet environment they have called home for decades.

Local officials are currently reviewing the proposal, weighing the potential tax revenue and job creation against the quality-of-life concerns presented by the public. For Mentor residents, the outcome of this development could signal broader trends in how Lake County manages the growing demand for tech infrastructure.

Community meetings are expected to continue as the planning process moves forward. If you are interested in how regional land use might shift in the coming years, this is a project to keep on your radar. We will continue to provide updates as specific dates for public hearings are announced and more details on the environmental impact become available.

Magnesium is one of the most underutilized tools for improving overall health, yet it influences over 300 enzymatic processes in the human body. According to Dr. Carolyn Dean and Dr. Eric Berg, deficiency is far more common than most people realize—largely due to soil depletion, processed foods, and chronic stress.

At a cellular level, magnesium regulates ATP, the body’s primary energy currency. Without sufficient magnesium, cells struggle to produce usable energy, which can show up as fatigue, muscle weakness, or even brain fog. More importantly, magnesium acts as a natural calcium regulator. While calcium stimulates muscle contraction, magnesium promotes relaxation. When magnesium levels are low, calcium can dominate—leading to muscle cramps, tightness, and even irregular heart rhythms.

One of magnesium’s most overlooked roles is in nervous system regulation. It directly supports the parasympathetic “rest and recover” response. This is why many people notice improved sleep quality, reduced anxiety, and fewer nighttime awakenings when magnesium levels are restored. It also helps modulate cortisol, making it particularly valuable for individuals dealing with chronic stress.

Not all magnesium supplements are equal. Forms like magnesium glycinate and magnesium malate are highly absorbable and gentle on digestion, while magnesium oxide is poorly absorbed and often causes gastrointestinal distress. Transdermal magnesium (applied through the skin) can also be effective for those with digestive sensitivities.

For many adults, especially those over 40, consistent magnesium intake may support blood pressure regulation, insulin sensitivity, and reduced inflammation—key factors in long-term health.

The takeaway: magnesium isn’t just another supplement—it’s a foundational mineral that quietly impacts nearly every system in the body. Optimizing it can create noticeable, real-world improvements in how you feel day to day. Magnesium Glycinate works best for most issues.

The Cleveland Guardians came up just short in a 6-5, 10-inning loss to the St. Louis Cardinals on Tuesday night, as a late defensive miscue helped swing the game.

Cleveland built a 5-2 lead in the eighth inning behind a go-ahead double from George Valera and a two-run double from Angel Martínez. Earlier in the game, José Ramírez provided a spark with a first-inning home run, continuing his climb up the all-time list for switch-hitters.

St. Louis chipped away at the lead, powered by two home runs from rookie JJ Wetherholt, including a two-run shot in the eighth that brought the Cardinals within one.

The turning point came in the ninth inning when a potential game-ending ground ball deflected into the outfield, allowing the tying run to score. The Cardinals then completed the comeback in the 10th inning on a sacrifice fly.

Cleveland was unable to respond in the bottom half of the inning, stranding the tying run and falling in extra innings.

The Guardians will look to bounce back Wednesday as they continue the series in St. Louis.
