Born in Cleveland, Anklam moved to Bedford at the age of five and spent his formative years in the community. After graduating from Bedford High School, he went on to serve his country by joining the U.S. Navy at age 18.

To mark the occasion, Anklam’s family wanted to share this celebration with the Bedford community that played such an important role in his life. The family expressed appreciation for the years he spent growing up in Bedford and the lasting connection he continues to have with the city.

A photo from the birthday celebration is included to commemorate this special occasion.

Leadership Under Fire

The meeting’s most charged moments centered on Superintendent Dr. Cassandra Johnson’s administration. During the public comment portion, community members sought clarity on a reported “vote of no confidence” from the teachers’ union. Dr. Johnson maintained that while she had met with union representatives, no formal written resolutions had been provided to her. She reaffirmed her commitment to the district’s “North Star” goals and data-driven progress.

The tension peaked during the farewell remarks of outgoing board member Mrs. Turner Burch. In a blunt address, Burch called for the Superintendent to be placed on administrative leave, citing a lack of continuity and stability within the district. She specifically highlighted the three-month absence of high school administrators during an ongoing investigation as a point of major concern for the community.

Crisis at Heskett Middle School

Parents and staff brought urgent facility concerns to the board’s attention, painting a grim picture of the environment at Heskett Middle School. Reports included recurring rodent issues, persistent plumbing leaks, and a lack of privacy in student restrooms due to missing stall doors.

Dr. Schneider, Executive Director of Operations, assured the public that the district is taking action. He noted that extermination services have been intensified and that the winter break would be utilized to complete necessary restroom repairs and door installations.

A New Era for Athletics

In a move to revitalize student-athlete engagement, the Board officially approved joining the United Athletic Conference. The new league, which includes neighboring districts such as Garfield Heights, Maple Heights, and Warrensville Heights, aims to foster local rivalries while providing a platform for academic recognition and shared professional development among coaches.

Fiscal Savings and Program Shifts

Treasurer updates highlighted the success of the Excel Academy at Mount Zion in keeping students within the district. While staff raised concerns about the “cramped” and shared nature of the church facility, the Treasurer noted that these in-house programs save the district roughly $720,000 annually by reducing out-of-district placement costs.

Additionally, the district is on an “aggressive” timeline to move the Auto Tech program into a newly repurposed maintenance garage, with a target opening date of February 1, 2026.

Looking Ahead to 2026

As the board prepares for a new year, it welcomed incoming members Montes Morton and Chris Calander. The 2026 organizational meeting is scheduled for January 8 at 6:00 PM at Heskett Middle School, where the community expects continued dialogue on the district’s leadership direction and facility improvements.

New Schools on the Horizon for 2027

Representatives from the school administration and the GPD Group presented a detailed timeline for the district’s ambitious facilities master plan. Construction is moving swiftly, with the new K-2 elementary building already 35% complete. Both the elementary school and the new middle school on Northfield Road are slated to welcome students in August 2027.

The high school campus is also preparing for a massive transformation. Starting in February 2026, the “North House” and the current Board of Education building will be demolished to make way for a state-of-the-art, 175,000-square-foot facility. This new building is designed to centralize grades 9–12 and reintegrate Career Tech programs back onto the main campus.

Fiscal Realities: The Decision on the Pool

A point of discussion during the update was the exclusion of a new swimming pool from the high school plans. Officials clarified that the cost of a new natatorium—exceeding $10 million—was “prohibitive” in the face of inflation and declining student interest in competitive swimming. To ensure students still have access to aquatic programs, the district will maintain its long-standing partnership with the city of Bedford Heights.

Councilman Fluharty’s Final Bow

The meeting took an emotional turn as the Council celebrated the eight-year tenure of Councilman Vic Fluharty. Colleagues praised Fluharty for his unwavering commitment to Ward 4, his passion for the local Historical Society, and his tireless support of youth sports.

Known for his quick wit, Fluharty used his final report to thank his constituents and colleagues, jokingly noting that while he is retiring from Council, he isn’t disappearing—just spending more time on the golf course.

Year-End City Business and Safety Upgrades

Before adjourning, the Council passed several key pieces of legislation:

• Safety First: New security measures were authorized for the Ellenwood Community Center, including remote-controlled doors and intercom systems to better protect children during summer camps.
• Infrastructure: Emergency sewer lining repairs were approved for Center Road and McKinley Street to address aging infrastructure.
• Cybersecurity: The city adopted a new cybersecurity program to align with updated state mandates and protect municipal data.

Looking to 2026

The Council will reconvene for its 2026 Organizational Meeting on January 2 at 7:00 PM to swear in newly elected officials and set the agenda for the coming year.

The Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner’s Office identified the victim as Raynell M. Clay of Bedford on Tuesday morning, Dec. 23. According to the office, Clay was transported by a private vehicle shortly after 1:30 a.m. on Sunday, Dec. 21, from the West 54th Street area to MetroHealth Medical Center.

Despite medical treatment, Clay was later pronounced dead at the hospital. The circumstances surrounding the shooting remain unclear, including the exact location where the fatal injuries were sustained.

The investigation remains ongoing.

After being removed from the SUV, the individual was transported to a local hospital. The person’s condition has not been released. A second occupant of the vehicle was able to exit without assistance.

Authorities reported that no other vehicles were involved in the crash. Bedford police have been contacted for additional details, though no further information has been released at this time.

Use salt responsibly
Ice melt helps improve safety, but excessive use can damage sidewalks, nearby landscaping, and storm drains. A light application is usually enough once snow is cleared.

Clear around fire hydrants
If there’s a fire hydrant near your home, please keep it free of snow and ice. Firefighters rely on quick access during emergencies, and a few minutes of shoveling can make a big difference.

Keep snow off sidewalks and streets
When shoveling driveways, avoid piling snow onto sidewalks or into the roadway, where it can refreeze and create hazards for pedestrians and drivers.

Watch for winter runoff
Blocked downspouts or piled snow can cause water to refreeze across sidewalks, creating slick spots. Making sure water drains properly helps prevent icy conditions.
