Solon Economist

June was a little more laid back than May, but as usual we had a great time.
• Thanks to the Solon Centennial Lions Club for the second May Sponsored Meal. There is a lot you don’t know about the Lions club if you were not able to be here for the meal. If you get another opportunity to learn about them, be sure to do so.
• Thank you to Bridge Community Bank for sponsoring the meal in June. We all know about the regular services of the bank, but it was good to hear about the financial planning opportunities they offer.

WILLIAMSBURG– Solon’s varsity baseball team took a pair of games on the road at Williamsburg June 22.
The Spartans held the Raiders just two runs over the course of a doubleheader, both on leadoff home runs by Williamsburg senior Derek Greiner, one against Solon freshman Cam Miller, one off junior Luke Ira.
Solon rebounded in both games to shut the Raiders down, while cranking up the offense in 9-1 and 10-1 wins.
Miller captured the win in the 9-1 opener, striking out eight and walking three while giving up only two hits over six innings, including Greiner’s lone earned run.

SOLON– The Solon City Council is going to look at modifying the way it interacts with the public.
At a meeting June 7, council members and Mayor Steve Stange discussed a resolution establishing guidelines for the Citizen’s Speak portion of regular council agendas.
The changes unsettled two residents, both former council members.
No action was taken, but the resolution is expected to appear again on a future agenda.
