‘Poor' water quality detected at 2 local beaches due to predicted E. coli levels
CLEVELAND (WJW) — Poor water quality has been detected at two Northeast Ohio beaches Saturday, the Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District said, meaning it's best to stay out of the water.
Not that it's great swimming weather this weekend anyways, but just beware.
The affected beaches include Edgewater Beach and Villa Angela Beach.

The predicted E. coli concentration for Edgewater Beach is 139 MPN/100mL. The threshold is 80 MPN/100mL .
The predicted E. coli concentration for Villa Angela Beach is 301 MPN/100mL. The threshold is 135 MPN/100mL
'Poor water quality predictions due to potentially harmful algae indicate that cyanobacterial species capable of producing toxins were found to be present at the time of sample collection. Beach postings will be updated by Cleveland Metroparks based on toxin concentration results,' the NEORSD said.

Additionally, the National Weather Service warned residents about dangerous swimming conditions Saturday along the lakefront from Erie County, Ohio to Erie County Pennsylvania.
NWS Cleveland posted on X Saturday morning about the threat of dangerous swimming conditions due to a high risk of rip currents along with the potential for dangerous wave heights.

Reds Make Milestone Elly De La Cruz Announcement Sunday
Reds Make Milestone Elly De La Cruz Announcement Sunday originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Cincinnati Reds fell to 29-31 on the young MLB season Sunday as they lost 7-3 to the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field, falling further behind in the National League Central.

Sunday's game included a milestone achievement from shortstop Elly De La Cruz, who continued a solid season with a strong game, adding to his legend in Cincinnati.

Cruz blasted a 423-foot bomb at Wrigley, a two-run shot that provided a spark of hope for a Reds team that has been beaten down at times this season in the competitive NL Central. Advertisement Known more for his base stealing than his power numbers, De La Cruz has continued to hit for power during a rough first half of the season at times for Francona's team. De La Cruz's home run came after the death of his sister Genelis De La Cruz on Saturday. Elly De La Cruz insisted on playing despite his heavy heart and made it count as he knocked in two runs in one fell swoop. "For his sister," one fan wrote with a red heart emoji. "He smashed that one. I thought it was a foul at first," another said with a '100' emoji. "Sheer joy," another wrote as part of a congratulatory message on De La Cruz's milestone, bittersweet moment.

Bazetta Fire Department touches up water rescue skills
BAZETTA, Ohio (WKBN) — The Valley is home to several lakes and rivers, making it great for boating, kayaking and all sorts of summer activities — but if something goes wrong, first responders need to be trained in swift water rescues. Members of the Bazetta Fire Department touched up their water rescue skills on Sunday at Mosquito Lake Outflow. A group from Rescue Training Specialists in South Carolina was invited to Ohio to help those in the department. 'We do have a number of river systems in the area, whether it be the Grand River, the Mahoning River, and of course, the outflow here at Mosquito Creek Reservoir,' said Bob Wasser, head of the water rescue division at the Bazetta Fire Department. It's the first year the specialists have made a trip up north. They trained 13 members of Bazetta Fire, teaching them the fundamentals of water rescue training. Firefighters learned how to make rescues without getting in the water and how to stay clear of obstacles. 'If they get caught in the environment or in the water, they can save themselves. Before you can save anybody, you have to learn how to save yourself,' said Ricky Burgess with Rescue Training Specialties. Local officials say it gives the department another resource. 'That's vital to be taught by people who have actually been on those emergencies, so it's very important to have them here,' Wasser said. Standard training is required every three years, but the more you train, the more comfortable you'll be. Those who participated say it was a great experience. 'They practice this all the time. So, having these guys come up here and be working with us and giving us some knowledge that we might not be able to come across from guys that don't do it all the time. It was very good training,' said Zack Hileman with the Bazetta Fire Department. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
