Ladies and gentlemen, start your classic engines! The Woodridge Local Schools are seeking out community members who would like to participate in the first ever Woodridge Car Show. The show will be one of the main events included in the district's Community Day on Aug. 4 at Woodridge High School, according to Woodridge public relations specialist Christy Weaver. The day-long event will also feature food, inflatables, community tables, vendors, face painting, music and a fireworks display. Community Day will also garner support for the district's upcoming levy on Aug. 7.

School officials ask that no-voters, in particular, attend the meetings to understand why they sided against Issue 10.
Issue 10, the proposed 6.83-mill, five-year emergency levy failed on March 6 by 249 votes. Question is, why? To get some real answers, Woodridge Local School Superintendent Walter Davis has suggested a short series of public forums to be held starting at the end of the month. Davis wants the voters who sided against the levy, in particular, to attend the forums to find out why they voted no. Three forums have been set so far at varying times and locations and are as follows: Tammy Heffernan, president of the Woodridge Board of Education, has voiced concern that the no-voters won't participate if Davis and treasurer Deanna Levenger are present, according to a March 18 Falls News Press post. However, it's not yet clear how the meetings …

After a narrow win over Revere, the Lady Bulldogs will head to Nordonia on Saturday at 2:30 p.m. to play Beaumont High in the Division II sectional playoffs.
The perfect season is within reach for the Woodridge girls basketball team. On Wednesday night though, the Lady Bulldogs' (21-0) championship hopes were almost dashed after a shaky first half against Revere High in the district playoffs, according to the Falls News Press. They regrouped and narrowly won the game, 48-43. Their play was uncharacteristic, given that the Lady Bulldogs made school history by going undefeated after a 63-53 victory against Waterloo last week. For sectionals, Woodridge will face off against Beaumont High (5-11) in Nordonia. Tipoff is at 2:30 p.m. on Saturday. Do you think Woodridge is on the road to a Division II state championship title? Tell us in the comments.

Cuyahoga Falls singer, Madison Cummins, shares her music.
If you watch Madison Cummin’s YouTube videos, you’ll find she has a soothing, strong voice with killer acoustic guitar accompaniment. That’s the way the 17-year-old likes it – just her and her guitar. “I just like accompanying myself more than having someone else accompany me,” she said. “It’s easier to focus when I’m playing guitar—for the musical aspect of performing.” Along with one of her favorite cover songs, Behind Blue Eyes by The Who, she plays and sings many others on her YouTube channel. It’s what she’ll be doing at the Akron Civic Theatre Jan. 21. She hooked up with the performance center because, at one time, both parents worked there. They, and other Akron Civic Theatre employees, had a good idea of her talent and knew she …

Q&A with Woodridge High School graduate Mike Cline.
Name: Mike Cline School: Woodridge High School Class: 1981 Occupation: Owner, Water Treatment Consulting LLC What was your career path leading up to your current job? My expertise has found me in water treatment. You could say I don't make the water, I make the water better. After working at Jay-Em Corporation right out of high school, I found myself unemployed like a lot of people in the mid-1980s. So, I went from making aircraft wheels and aerospace machining, to the wonderful world of being a plumber's helper, which wasn't bad. It gave me my start into water treatment and conditioning. Well, 27 years later, after working with a couple of great companies from a plumber, to a pump and softener company, I had a business of my own for three…

Q&A with Woodridge graduate Genean Grantham.
Name: Genean Grantham School: Woodridge High School Class: 2000 Occupation: Hospitality/Organizer What was your career path leading up to your current job? I have always been a musician and involved in music. I was raised in a Baptist church so I have pretty much lived music my entire live. I always knew whether playing or creating, there was one way or another I would have to be in the scene. What does your job entail, and what is your career goal? Currently I am a booker, promoter and organizer of musical events and bands. I am pretty much a walking social media for the bands I work for. I love it!
