The Wake Up

WEDNESDAY, OCT. 19, 2022

 

Sherwin-Williams is building a skyscraper at Public Square downtown and a new research complex in Brecksville. Now the company – one of Cleveland’s biggest – is building its own hangar at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport.  

Why not build it at Burke Lakefront? Maybe because of possible lakefront plans? The paint giant currently houses its jets at rented space at Hopkins and views the project as part of its “overall growth strategy and long-term commitment to the region."

SW hangar: Sherwin-Williams intends to build a hangar at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport to store and maintain its fleet of corporate jets. Courtney Astolfi reports Sherwin-Williams isn’t saying how much the new facility will cost, but the company will have to pay rent to the city, plus all construction costs, including new or enhanced utility lines, and ramps and taxiways on its leased land. 

 

Today in Ohio: Tim Ryan and J.D. Vance recycled a lot of the same material but showed considerably more personal contempt in their final debate of Ohio’s U.S. Senate race. We’re talking about how the candidates sparred on Today in Ohio, cleveland.com’s daily half-hour news podcast. 

 

 

Statehouse and Politics

School board: Ohio voters will fill five seats this year on the state school board as its members grapple with national culture wars that have made state and local boards of education their new front lines. Laura Hancock reports the state board oversees the Ohio Department of Education and its budget and is responsible for creating workable education policies, programs and rules, based on laws passed by the Ohio General Assembly.  

 

Senate issues: Both Tim Ryan and J.D. Vance have changed their minds on some major political issues since entering public life. Ryan was once a pro-gun, anti-abortion Democrat who supported expanding the social net while opposing the war in Iraq. Vance publicly described himself as a “Never Trump guy” in 2016. Andrew Tobias interviews both candidates, asking them about their shifting views and other issues as part of our coverage comparing the two men’s stances.

Northeast Ohio News

Pinkey Carr: The Ohio Supreme Court on Tuesday kicked longtime Cleveland Municipal Court Judge Pinkey Carr off the bench and temporarily stripped her of her law license for committing a level of misconduct the state’s disciplinary counsel called “unprecedented.” Cory Shaffer reports that justices voted to indefinitely suspend the law license of Carr, the former assistant county prosecutor who ascended to judgeship in 2012 after helping send serial killer Anthony Sowell to death row. 

 

Lead abatement: After voting in the spring to spend $17 million to improve lead safety in Cleveland, Mayor Justin Bibb wants to pull back $5.5 million of that to spend on other, more-intensive lead remediation projects. In May, Cleveland City Council approved allocating $17 million to the Mt. Sinai Health Care Foundation for lead-safe home grants, job training for lead safety workers, lead testing, housing assistance for those displaced by lead and more. Now, reports Lucas Daprile, the administration asked for $5.5 million of that to go toward more-thorough lead removal for the city’s most severely lead-contaminated homes.

 

First snow: Our first “wintry mix” of weather is upon us. Snow fell Tuesday in Lake and Geauga counties, while elsewhere ice pellets came in with some morning rain. On average, Cleveland sees its first winter weather around Nov. 11. But Zachary Smith reports the earliest snow has appeared is Oct. 2 - first in 1974 and then again in 2003.

 

Fall flowers: Goldenrod and asters are common plants that can add color to your fall garden year after year, reports Susan Brownstein. Blue-stemmed, Riddell’s, Little Lemon, and Ohio goldenrod all have a neater and more compact appearance than the common Canada goldenrod that comes to mind. Native purple asters that pair well with goldenrod include smooth, aromatic, and New England aster.

 

 

Business and Healthcare

Electric vehicles: The shift from gasoline-fueled engines to fully electric vehicles could be an opportunity, and a threat, to Ohio’s economy. Sean McDonnell reports there are 91,600 auto jobs in Ohio — either assembling vehicles or making parts, the second largest automotive workforce in the country. Electric vehicle manufacturing could create thousands of new jobs, but it could also make thousands of jobs tied to making gasoline-powered vehicles obsolete.

 

 

Crime and Courts

14-year-old murdered: Two Lorain teens have been charged in connection with the murder of 14-year-old Shayne Edwards, who was shot while lying in his bed in Elyria. Molly Walsh reports detectives from the Elyria and Lorain police departments arrested 16-year-old Hezekiah Shepherd and 18-year-old Jose Antonio Campos.

 

Fatal shooting: A man was shot to death Monday outside of a phone store on the city’s West Side, Olivia Mitchell reports. Mohamad Qasem, 43, of North Royalton was struck by a bullet about 3:40 p.m. at King Wireless on West 25th Street near Walton Avenue, according to police and the office of the Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner.

 

Trees stolen: Rittman police are investigating a report of a dozen trees stolen from a local cemetery for veterans, reports Molly Walsh. The Ohio Western Reserve National Cemetery is expanding its grounds and a contractor reported the trees, which were to be planted this week, were missing. 

 

 

Arts & Entertainment

Cleveland Ballet: Cleveland Ballet’s first show of its 2022-23 season is a beloved classic -- “Swan Lake,” Tchaikovsky’s tragic love story based on timeless, fairytale archetypes. Paris Wolfe reports that artistic director and choreographer Gladisa Guadalupe has arranged this version to be friendlier to a busy modern audience, with two acts and lasting about one hour and 45 minutes. 

 

Great Lakes Experience: The Great Lakes Experience was formally unveiled Monday at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse, with a concessions area that covers 1,500 square feet. Marc Bona reports arena officials said the deal to bring in the brewery – the state’s first - was a natural fit.
