🌱 Second Round Of High School Football Playoffs + Community Survey

Hello all. I'm back in your inbox this morning with your fresh copy of the Lakewood Daily. Here's everything you need to know about what's happening in town.

But first, today's weather:

Cloudy with a few showers. High: 66 Low: 55.

📢 I’m looking for business owners and marketers in Lakewood who want to build awareness, connect with customers and increase sales.

I have a limited number of sponsorships available to introduce our Lakewood Daily readers to local businesses they need to know about. If that’s you, then I invite you to learn more and secure your spot now.

Here are the top three stories in Lakewood today:

1. The next round of the Ohio High School Athletic Association football playoffs has been announced. Lakewood's St. Edward High School will be playing Massillon Jackson on Friday, Nov. 4 at 7:00 p.m. The Lakewood team is currently the number one seed in the Division One Region One bracket. (Canton Repository)
2. The City of Lakewood is asking the community to provide feedback for its Community Health Needs Assessment Action Plan. Residents are able to provide feedback online and in person. To provide feedback in-person, simply drop into the Cove Community Center on Nov. 9 between 6:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. (City of Lakewood)
3. The Amherst Police Department reports that the Cuyahoga County Sheriff's Office requested assistance when deputies spotted a man with an outstanding warrant in a parking lot on Friday morning. Jason Swain, 48 years old, died from a self-inflicted injury in the parking lot of Trinity Evangelical Free Church. Swain had been indicted by a Cuyahoga County grand jury for corrupt activity, telecommunications fraud, and grand theft. (The Chronicle)

Patch deal of the day:

Good knives make all the difference in the kitchen, but you don’t need to overpay for them. Seido Japanese knives are made with strong high-carbon stainless steel (high-carbon knives are more durable and usually more expensive) and have an acute 15-degree angle for a noticeably sharper cutting face (most Western-style knives have edge angles of 25 degrees). For a limited time, Patch readers can get a 5-piece Seido Japanese master knife set for 71 percent off. At just under $70, this chef-quality set is perfect for any home cook and would also make a great gift for the holidays.
