Ask the Experts night featured doctors answering questions about joint pain and arthritis
A panel of Cleveland Clinic physicians and surgeons covered it all Thursday night, from osteoporosis diagnosis to myths about gin-soaked raisins. The doctors gathered at this year's "Ask the Experts" event at 700 Beta Banquet and Conference Center in Mayfield Village. About 250 people from across Northeast Ohio came to ask questions, mostly about this year's theme, "Relieving Your Joint Pain." The doctors were from various hospitals in the Clinic's system, with moderator and orthopedic surgeon Bernard Stulberg being the only one from Hillcrest Hospital.

The Grove is only in Phase I, but officials have scheduled three programs and open house there, beginning this summer
Mayfield Village residents will get a feel for having an amphitheatre in their community this summer when programming at The Grove begins. The Grove, on SOM Center Road, north of Parkview Pool, is a three-acre green space that village officials hope will become Mayfield's version of Cain Park in Cleveland Heights or Perici Amphitheatre in Twinsburg. The Grove, in Mayfield Village's Greenway Corridor, has access to the Greenway trail system, the Cleveland Metroparks North Chagrin Reservation, and the softball and soccer fields. Residents will be invited to an open house on June 22 where they can let officials know what uses they want to see for The Grove. Officials have also planned three activities for the space: "I think it sounds really …

The library held a grand opening celebration on Saturday
Hundreds of area residents packed the new Mayfield Library Saturday to enjoy a grand opening celebration, complete with new books, activities and ice cream. Despite the large turnout, there was no shortage of space — the library at 500 SOM Center Road is a whopping 30,000 square feet. Its features include 62 public access computers and nearly 440,000 items available for checkout. URS Corp. included several eco-friendly design elements like skylights that can sense and adjust to how much daylight is getting into the library. Cuyahoga County Public Library expects significant savings because the $11.7 million structure is about 40 percent glass, with both short and long windows throughout. Some of the windows have special glass that diffuses…

The village has hired a Cleveland firm to provide organic products for its public green spaces
Grass might only be material to walk and play on to some, but Mayfield Village has announced a new process to preserve its public green space. The village will treat its fields with natural, organic lawn products instead of pesticides and herbicides. The practice began this spring, using the products and installation skills of Cleveland-based Good Nature Organic Lawn Care. "They made a commitment to stop using lawn chemicals on six athletic fields, six acres and 50 grass areas," Good Nature CEO Alec McClennan said. "That's a pretty big commitment on their part." The areas that will be treated include Mayfield Village's soccer fields in front of Progressive Insurance and The Grove, the site of a future amphitheatre. McClennan said most …

Village council officially opposed Ohio House Bill 5 which would create a uniform income tax process.
Mayfield Village officials made it pretty clear how they feel about Ohio House Bill 5. On March 18 the council passed legislation to formally oppose the bill which would make income tax process more uniform, as explained by The Plain Dealer. Finance Director Ronald Wynne said the city could lose around $36,000 if the bill is passed. "There are pieces of this that RITA is trying to analyze for all its municipalities that we will eventually get numbers on," Wynne said. These changes to the income tax system would come in the form of unfunded mandates and contribute to a "substantial loss of revenue" according to the offical legislation.
