Allstate plans to install the warning signs in 20 cities across the country this year.
On May 9, a "Watch for Motorcycles" warning sign will be installed at the Royalton and Prospect Roads intersection. Strongsville is the second city in Cuyahoga County to receive the signs from Allstate's Once is Never Enough (O.N.E.) porgram in the Cleveland-area. The signs will be a permanent fixture and a reminder to watch for two-wheeled motorists sharing the road. Allstate hopes the signs will remind all motorists to look left, look right and look left again for motorcyclists before going through an intersection, where statistics show 46 percent of all fatal multi-vehicle crashes for motorcyclists occur, according to a prepared statement. Euclid was the first city in the area to get the sign at the Lakeshore Boulevard and E. 185th …

The Strongsville mortgage company was founded in 1970.
It isn't a big change but what was formerly known as Union National Mortgage is now Union Home Mortgage. On May 1, the Strongsville-based company decided to change names to show it is committed to "helping people achieve the dream of home ownership," according to this post on PR Newswire. "We're entering a new phase of home ownership in this country," said Union Home Mortgage CEO, Bill Cosgrove in a prepared statement. "Much has changed in the past several years, but what hasn't is that people need a trusted ally to help them make smart decisions about what is very often their biggest purchase ever. It's an awesome responsibility and we take it very seriously." Read the full PR Newswire story here.

Here's what's been happening in Strongsville
A wrap-up of Strongsville news this week: Teachers strike ending -- The two sides reach an agreement Friday night, and teachers ratify it Saturday. The School Board is meeting at 9 a.m. Sunday. Teachers strike, part 2 -- The agreement followed a difficult week, starting with a negotiating session April 21 that yielded no progress. The Strongville Education Association makes a one-time offer with no significant economic concessions, but a proposal to extend the school day by a half hour. The School Board accuses the SEA of trying to sabotage the district's rating by encouraging parents to exempt students from taking state tests. Only a few students opt out, but the week ends with more students withdrawing from the public schools. New …

Brian Gale hopes his family's tragedy can help others find joy
Brian Gale and his family -- wife Kelly and son Logan -- were on a plane to Disney World a few years ago. They'd upgraded to business class, to the unspoken "harumphs" of the other passengers, executives less than thrilled to be flying with an excited 2-year-old. The flight went fine, though, and the plane touched down. "All of a sudden, you hear this little voice: 'Good job, airplane!'" Gale recalls. Everyone laughed; Logan had won them over. More important, he'd given Dad an epiphany of sorts. "I saw that attitude -- that wonder of how things happen," Gale says. "That became the impetus of looking at life through Logan's eyes." From Loss and Pain . . . Those three words would become Gale's mantra, and eventually the title of his book…

PetPeople to open in Greens of Strongsville
A Columbus-based pet store is renovating a space in the Greens of Strongsville and hopes to open in June. PetPeople will open its 17th store in Strongsville, joining five other northeast Ohio locations, including Rocky River and Avon. "Our focus is on nutrition -- the natural nutrition you won't find at a lot of other stores," said Terri Montigny, marketing manager. The store will feature some brands the public is familiar with and other brands most people haven't heard of before. It specializes in healthy diets and in finding a food for pets with allergies or intolerance issues, with specially trained employees available to help. "We're all kind of nutrition geeks," Montigny said. Montigny said the store will include a self-serve dog …
