Four years ago, Heather Tuck-Macalla moved back to Bay Village, and although she’s a firm Democrat, she did not put out a yard sign for Hillary Clinton. “I was afraid of, I don’t know, just ruffling feathers with neighbors,” she said. “And I regret not doing that, because it’s worth ruffling.” After all, this majority white, economically better off suburb backed George W. Bush twice, narrowly supported John McCain, and gave Mitt Romney a majority. But when the votes were counted in 2016, Clinton came out 10 points ahead of Donald Trump.

Officials from Cuyahoga County’s Board of Health will be back out to beaches in Bay Village this week to check for hazards from an algae bloom. The algae at Columbia Park Beach and Bay Park Beach was found last week. Tests for the harmful bacteria caused by algae came back under the hazardous threshold, said Tom Fink from the board of health. An advisory was posted in the park at the end of Columbia Road and the public access was closed off by Bay Village officials.
