Steve Trivisonno Will Be Inducted Into Crow's Nest Hall of Fame

Mentor High football coach says he appreciates the honor but says "it will always be about the school and kids"

Steve Trivisonno doesn't remember how many conference championships he's won in his 16 years as the head coach of the Mentor High football team. It's not false modesty either. He legitimately doesn't recall. "I don't know," he said. "Maybe eight." Trivisonno wants his teams to win -- and they often do -- but he doesn't fixate on that. "We're going to win," he reflected, while standing on the sideline during the Mentor Youth Football Camp. "It's never been about that. If you do things right, you're going to win." So if it's not about winning, what is it about? "It's about taking young men and helping them become better young men," he said. And how does one do that? "You need to be the role model," he said.

Pet Pause

Dog Nights Return to Classic Park

Four Dates Available; Pup Packages Also Available at Progressive Field in August

Four dates on this summer's Captains schedule have been designated as Dog Nights, presented by Home Savings Bank, allowing your dog to help you root on our Cleveland Indians' Class A affiliate.

Local Salons Square Off in Charity Softball Game Sunday

Ladies & Gentlemen Salon is raising money for the United Way of Lake County by swinging for the fences

The employees of Ladies & Gentlemen Salon & Day Spa are better known for their skills in the beauty shop than on the baseball diamond; but they will be swinging their bats for a good cause this Sunday. The Mentor salon will compete against John Roberts Salon in a charity softball game 4:30 p.m. at Classic Park in Eastlake. All the money from tickets sold will go to worthwhile causes. The ladies and gentleman of Ladies & Gentlemen will donate their proceeds to the United Way of Lake County. Meanwhile, their Mayfield Heights counterparts are boosting Rainbow Babies & Children's Hospital.
