Geauga County • March 12, 2025
Good morning, Geauga County. After a year of empty tables and quiet kitchens, Sausalito Kirtland is firing up its stoves once again. The popular fusion restaurant has reopened its doors with co-owner "Babu" Chandrababu bringing in fresh business partners while maintaining the culinary creativity that made the establishment a local favorite. It's a welcome revival for area foodies who've missed the distinctive dining experience that parallels its Downtown Cleveland counterpart.
Excellence comes in many forms across our community this week. Dr. Diana Ponsky has achieved a remarkable double distinction, securing both the Castle Connolly Top Doctor honor for the tenth straight year and the Exceptional Women in Medicine award for the sixth consecutive time. Meanwhile, retired educators can mark their calendars for April 1, when the Geauga County Retired Teachers Association hosts an informative update on the pension system at St. Mary Banquet Center, combining professional development with community service through their Hunger Task Force donation drive.
