Around the Shore

Cleveland Metroparks wants the Westshore's input on reservations. The Metroparks hosts a virtual open house on its 2026 reservation plan — the plan behind shelter, picnic, and facility reservations across the parks — Thursday, Oct 22, 5:30–7:00 PM, free, online. If your family books shelters for reunions or summer birthdays, this is the meeting that shapes how 2026 bookings work.

Sponsor

Auris — HR & Payroll, presenting sponsor of Westshore Weekly — Business owners — 30 seconds. Everyone else, skip to my sign-off below. 7 junk fees could be hiding in your payroll invoice. Which ones are you paying? In my role as the Territory Manager at Auris, covering Northeast Ohio, I look at local owners' payroll invoices, and I kept finding the same 7 fees, charged under names nobody could explain to the owner paying them. I built a 20-second check so you can see your estimate before you talk to anyone. If you run payroll for 1–250 people, see your estimate first. No email, no call unless you ask for it. See My Estimate — 20 Seconds, No Email Needed

From Breynan Hammons — publisher of Westshore Weekly and Northeast Territory Manager at Auris (your local Auris 'Payroll Coach'), resident here in Westlake. Reading this never enrolls you in anything.
