== "Menner" ==
I have lived in Mentor for 29 years. It has always been pronounced Menner.
 
i'm from Mentor and i totally disagree with this; i've lived there all my life and i've never heard anyone pronounce Mentor without the "T." <small>—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Hbsharkman|Hbsharkman]] ([[User talk:Hbsharkman|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Hbsharkman|contribs]]) 18:10, 21 December 2007 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
 
I don't know what part you're from, but everyone I knew in high school and everyone I've ever talked to about it has called it "Menner". It's the main way we distinguish out-of-towners. I've been there 22 years and never heard a native say "Mentor" with the "t".[[User:Pronounciator|Pronounciator]] ([[User talk:Pronounciator|talk]]) 21:35, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
 
I've lived in Mentor for 22 years also..most people say the "t" in my experience, but it's quite soft..no one I know says "Menner"...this is silly sounding and is probably just a mishearing. If poeple do say it that way its likely a mark of poor speaking in general. -Matt A. —Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/99.161.133.212|99.161.133.212]] ([[User talk:99.161.133.212|talk]]) 06:53, 9 September 2008 (UTC)<!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
 
This debate still rages on - we may have to agree to disagree on this one. I grew up in Mentor, and like Pronounciator said, the locals say "Menner" and the non-locals say "Mentore" or "Menter." Maybe it's changed since I graduated high school, but... [[User:MartyR|MartyR]] ([[User talk:MartyR|talk]]) 21:32, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
 
I lived in lake county for 23 years... everyone around here says menner, while newscasters, or people outside the county area say MenTor. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/99.157.229.175|99.157.229.175]] ([[User talk:99.157.229.175|talk]]) 03:18, 11 March 2009 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
 
I lived in Mentor ( Center Street and Bellflower ) from 1978 - 1992 and I never heard anybody pronounce it as Menner. There is clearly a t in the pronunciation. Eitherway, the more intersting part is that when I moved to Wickliffe everyone was quite cynical about the whole 'it's better' slogan and I was pretty much shunned as a presumed elitest. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/99.11.253.28|99.11.253.28]] ([[User talk:99.11.253.28|talk]]) 04:05, 12 June 2009 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
 
I live just outside Mentor, work and spend a lot of time there. No one says Menner except for a few lazy teenagers. Non-locals say Men-TORE, which shows their complete ignorance. Everyone (except for said few lazy teenagers) says MEN-ter.[[User:Betarays|Betarays]] ([[User talk:Betarays|talk]]) 18:30, 15 July 2011 (UTC)
 
The common pronunciation is "Menter" with the "t" often slurred over to varying degrees ...a few degrading the pronunciation so it's virtually indistinguishable from "Menner". Almost no one in the area refers to it as "Men-Tor" (rhyming with "before"). [[User:Jbarta|JBarta]] ([[User talk:Jbarta|talk]]) 03:35, 26 September 2011 (UTC)

== Riley Ann Sawyers/ Notable people? ==
 
Should [[Murder of Riley Ann Sawyers|Riley Ann Sawyers]] really be in the notable people section? She was a baby/toddler and is only known for her murder, not for anything she did as a person. She's not like [[Princess Johanna of Hesse and by Rhine|Johanna]] who is automatically notable despite her toddler status because she was royalty.

== Bullying in the Mentor School district ==
 
There is a documentary covering the extreme bullying in the Mentor School District. Immigrants that came to this country for opportunities have had their children taken from them by suicide. The school counselors, the district, even the local courts refused to do anything about this. Anyone hoping to bring their kids to these schools MUST be informed of the carelessness or outright maliciousness towards immigrants and outsiders to protect them.

:{{replyto|45.49.66.97}} Hi there, this is already covered in detail in the 'crime' section, so not convinced it needs its own section.

== Potential Piece of Mentor History ==
 
I found this article in the New York Times that said the city of Mentor donated $35,000 of clothing and food to a city in Finland in 1948. Would this be worth adding to the article?
