The play is on at 7.45pm at The Quay Theatre in Sudbury from Tuesday, September 6 to Saturday 10th.
Sue Townsend, author of the very popular Adrian Mole books, has crafted the funny and moving story of three severely agoraphobic women who, as part of a self-help group who have never met, have left their homes for the first time in years, and made it to a London church hall to run a rummage sale, organised by trainee social worker Fliss and ex-agoraphobic volunteer Gwenda.
She is helped and hindered by ex-professional singer Katrina, obsessive cleaner Isabel, loud-mouthed Margaret and Fliss, not to mention a nervous policewoman.
As the afternoon progresses, the distinction between the carers and the cared for becomes less and less clear.
But by the time they all leave it is apparent that although their agoraphobia is by no means cured but they have at least made a start.
SDS director Jon Scripps says of his all female cast: “I have watched my cast grow in confidence each week and have enjoyed watching their characters come through.
“I am looking forward to sharing our enjoyment of Bazaar and Rummage with the audience.”
Bazaar and Rummage was first staged in 1982 at the Royal Court Theatre Upstairs, London.
The SDS Quay Theatre production is set very firmly in the 1980s but audiences need to note that it contains some strong language and adult humour.
Tickets for Bazaar and Rummage are on sale now from The Quay Theatre box office on 01787 374745 or online at www.quaysudbury.com. | http://www.buryfreepress.co.uk/whats-on/adrian-mole-author-s-play-all-set-for-sudbury-s-quay-theatre-1-7531065 | en | 2016-08-27T00:00:00 | www.buryfreepress.co.uk/06d2102680939ab2933a18b13dc285c24b1ce57b4b16ad2cd0f65e2a4eb17899.json |

The Very Rev Martin Thrower, 55, was quizzed by police earlier this month and released on police bail but has been unable to return to his duties at the Diocese of St Edmundsbury and Ipswich, Suffolk.
His wife, Pauline Thrower, has issued a statement saying that her family was supporting him with “unconditional love” following his arrest.
It said: “It is with great sadness that we find ourselves in the situation we are now in.
“Whilst this has come as a shock to us as a family we are all supporting Martin with unconditional love at this difficult time.”
Rev Thrower has been rector of Hadleigh with Layham and Shelley, Suffolk, since 2009 and has since become Dean of Bocking and Rural Dean of Hadleigh, Suffolk.
John Howard, spokesman for the Diocese of St Edmundsbury and Ipswich, said: “I can confirm that The Very Rev Martin Thrower, Rector of Hadleigh, Layham and Shelley, and also rural dean of Hadleigh, has been arrested by Suffolk Constabulary for voyeurism.
“He has been suspended from all offices within the diocese until further notice. We have made arrangements to look after his church duties and to offer support to his parishes at this difficult time.
“We will make no further comment while the police investigation is ongoing.
“Our thoughts and prayers are very much with everyone affected by this situation.”
Rev Thrower attracted some controversy three years ago when he announced plans to remove many of the pews at St Mary’s Church, Hadleigh, Suffolk, to create a more flexible space.
The Victorian Society objected to the plans, but after getting permission from the church authorities this work was carried out - leading to the church being used much more by a wider variety of groups.
One of these is the Porch Project for youngsters from 11 to 20 who meet there twice a week for leisure activities.
Although it is backed by St Mary’s and meets there, it is a separate organisation and supports 300 youngsters in a town where there have been criticisms in the past of a lack of activities for young people.
At the time of the controversy over the pews Mr Thrower said: “Churches weren’t built with pews in - they were built to be the community space, to have the market in and host big meetings and we have an aspiration to return the building to being the true parish church.”
Suffolk Constabulary confirmed Rev Thrower was arrested on August 4 and has been bailed to return to the Police Investigation Centre in Martlesham in October. | http://www.buryfreepress.co.uk/news/local/latest-news/hadleigh-clergyman-martin-thrower-arrested-on-suspicion-of-voyeurism-1-7550162 | en | 2016-08-30T00:00:00 | www.buryfreepress.co.uk/a9906588af0b39e3082aa65b8a5dcedc38bbf8bea75d7de7c5a2b5699eafaa71.json |

Stephen Bourne joined as chairman of the theatre’s board of trustees in 2012 and oversaw major organisational changes with the playhouse’s director Karen Simpson.
The overhaul eliminated the theatre’s budget deficit and boosted audience numbers.
Mr Bourne said: “When I took on the chairmanship of the theatre four years ago, I never imagined such drama.
“The finances were a horror story, but have been transformed. Although there’s still work to do, we’re back on an even keel.
“The other great success has been the drama that occurs onstage. I’m so proud of the advances that have been made under Karen Simpson’s leadership in the past three years. We really can say that the Theatre Royal now offers something for everyone. The theatre’s on a roll, and we have a fine team in place. I’m a happy man.”
The theatre is now seeking a new chairman to champion the next four years. Interested applicants should submit a CV and covering letter by September 12 addressed to Keith Turner (Trustee), Theatre Royal, Westgate Street, Bury St Edmunds, IP33 1QR. | http://www.buryfreepress.co.uk/news/local/latest-news/chairman-of-bury-st-edmunds-theatre-royal-to-step-down-1-7550803 | en | 2016-08-30T00:00:00 | www.buryfreepress.co.uk/6466d13b7c3bbbe8d2785ad0428915c2602a3f30dbb1f9fe65f8ee700af27c42.json |

It has bought the School Street site from Suffolk County Council and is now looking at plans to redevelop it, though the county has kept the playing fields for community use.
The middle school closed in July 2015, following the outcome of the Schools Organisation Review which standardised schooling across Suffolk from three- to two-tier.
The purchase also includes community buildings which are home to a library run by Suffolk Libraries and an internet café run by the local community. Mid Suffolk says it will work closely with these groups on continuing to provide ‘much valued local facilities’.
Proposals for a housing scheme are being drawn up and will be subject to a public consultation through the planning processes.
Cllr Nick Gowrley, Mid Suffolk District Council leader and portfolio holder for assets and investment, said, “Earlier this year we unveiled our Joint Strategic Plan in which we outlined our vision for investing in our communities by bringing redundant sites back into use and the acquisition of the middle school and land is an important first step as we start to see that vision taking shape.
“Work on redeveloping this area will now gather momentum over the coming months as we press ahead with plans for the provision of new homes and community facilities.”
Cllr Richard Smith, Suffolk County Council’s cabinet member for finance and property, said: “Part of our aspirations for the site were to provide a new library and facilities for the community as well as provision of new homes.
“Mid Suffolk were able to provide a whole site solution delivering these aims.
“I look forward to hearing about the development of Mid Suffolk District Council’s plans for this fantastic site.” | http://www.buryfreepress.co.uk/news/local/latest-news/mid-suffolk-buys-needham-school-site-for-housing-1-7546659 | en | 2016-08-26T00:00:00 | www.buryfreepress.co.uk/085791cfe934d9ab3bc9810b7f8bf8f4828172823f3d037c6648284b931df753.json |

The study shows exposure to traffic pollution is a trigger for daytime sleepiness - and may also trigger SNORING.
More than 12,000 adults were included in the Respiratory Health in Northern Europe (RHINE) study.
The findings show that people exposed to high levels of pollution had a 65 per cent greater chance of suffering from daytime sleepiness, compared to those who had no exposure.
Traffic noise in the bedroom was also a trigger - with people 46 per cent more likely to feel sleepy in the day if exposed.
And the research also suggests that people are also 29 per cent more likely to be a habitual snorer if they are exposed to traffic noise while they sleep.
Daytime sleepiness affected one in five people involved in the study, while one in four reported habitual snoring.
Ane Johannessen, an epidemiologist at Bergen University in Norway, wrote the study together with Professor Thorarinn Gislason and other Northern European researchers.
She said: “Exposure to traffic should be taken into account when planning treatment for patients with sleep disturbances, because reducing noise and pollution exposure in the bedroom may have a beneficial effect.
“Reducing exposure through relocating the bedroom away from pollution sources or making the bedroom more soundproof to protect against traffic noise, as well as mapping alternative and less polluted outdoor everyday routes may help patients with their sleep disorders.”
The study also showed that men, older subjects, smokers and those with lower education were more likely to report habitual snoring.
They were usually less physically active, with a higher BMI, and more likely to have a diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA).
Women, older people, smokers, and those with lower education were more likely to report daytime sleepiness.
The new research is due to be presented at the European Respiratory Society’s International Congress in London next month.
Professor Jorgen Vestbo, President of ERS and Professor of Respiratory Medicine at the University of Manchester, said: “The question of who snores may be a running joke in some households but for many snoring is a serious issue, with direct links to physical and mental well being and the same is true for daytime sleepiness.
“We want people to think more about the environment around them and the impact it can have - from the way they sleep to the air they breathe.”
To coincide with Congress, the ERS will be holding some free public lung function testing, starting in Trafalgar Square on September 2 and 3. | http://www.buryfreepress.co.uk/news/local/sleepiness-linked-to-traffic-noise-and-pollution-1-7548626 | en | 2016-08-29T00:00:00 | www.buryfreepress.co.uk/3dffab377a029a2c2b1b5fda3fcadd43da5761f2ed8e32c8192629e1228cc48e.json |

He added: “As the festival takes place only a week after the closing ceremony in Rio, we hope to serve up a gold medal event of our own this year.
“All the favourite ingredients from previous years are on the menu and we are delighted to welcome back to Bury St Edmunds Michelin-starred chef Galton Blackiston who will give three demonstrations on Sunday.
“Our celebrity guest on Monday is ITV’s James Tanner who is promising an equally delicious display.”

Only the Edinburgh Wolves stand between the Saints and their treble dream, in a game which will be played at the John Charles Stadium, in Leeds, on August 28.
Saints’ head coach Christian Cantrill said: “We had three goals this year – to be SFC1 champions, premiership promotion and a Division One National Championship.
“Today we completed number two of those three steps and in a fortnight we get the honour to play for the third.
“I am incredibly proud of what this team has done this year, from the players, the coaches, the committee down to the cheerleaders.
“It’s been a true team and club effort to get us to where we are today and we know the next and final game in our season will be our toughest when we play the top-ranked Edinburgh Wolves.
“I know we can match up well with them, but have a lot of work to prepare to get our game plan right.” | http://www.buryfreepress.co.uk/sport/bury-saints-book-their-place-in-top-flight-and-close-in-on-unique-treble-1-7534026 | en | 2016-08-20T00:00:00 | www.buryfreepress.co.uk/917c0fb68dd36ca17d3396961c6564c76f6c9611b37621fbc04d81aa4e8c5564.json |

Abdalla says the attorney general’s office and Steubenville police will investigate Binkiewicz’s death.

The effort announced this month by Treasurer Josh Mandel (man-DEHL’) and Auditor Dave Yost is an extension of fiscal transparency efforts that have been expanding in the state for almost two years.
Mandel’s office launched an online checkbook of state spending information in December 2014. That site has since expanded to include pension funds and some local governments, school districts and universities. Ohio’s Office of Budget and Management brought the state’s entire accounting system online in June.
The latest effort integrates OhioCheckbook.com with the Auditor’s Uniform Accounting Network, a “one-stop shop” for local governments to submit year-end financial reports and checkbook-level spending information.

A series of talks at Farm Science Review will show how to do it safely.
The Review is a Sept. 20-22 trade show at the Molly Caren Agricultural Center in London, in Madison County.
The series, called “Chainsaw Safety and Maintenance,” will be given three times in the Review’s Gwynne Conservation Area: On Sept. 20 and Sept. 21 from 12:30 to 2:30 p.m.; and on Sept. 22 from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
Got a dead ash tree? Safety first
“With all the dead and dying ash trees out there” — no thanks to the emerald ash borer pest — “I really wanted to see an opportunity for landowners to learn how to use their chainsaws the right way,” said Kathy Smith, a co-organizer of the series and of more than four dozen other talks in the Gwynne area during the Review. She’s the forestry program director in the School of Environment and Natural Resources at The Ohio State University.
“A chainsaw is an easy tool to use,” she said, “and an even easier one to misuse and end up severely hurt.”
The school is part of Ohio State’s College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences. The college runs the Caren center and is sponsoring the Review.
Talks on woods, wildlife, more
Talks in the Gwynne area, 67 acres of green space with forests, ponds and prairie, will focus on conservation topics of interest to farmers and others, including trees, pastures, grasslands, wetlands, wildlife, insects, water and fish. Among the speakers and topics:

Besides the chainsaw series, activities held every day in the area will include pasture and grassland management tours from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m.; “Soil and Water Conservation District National Archery Program for Schools-Type Archery” from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.; and “Preparing for the Envirothon” from 9:30 to 10:45 a.m. Envirothon is a national competition testing high school students’ knowledge of soils, forestry, wildlife and related topics.
Got questions? Get answers
“I think what most (Review-goers) enjoy about the Gwynne is the opportunity to interact with resource people on specific topics, see some of those topics applied on the landscape, and get answers to their management questions,” Smith said. “There aren’t a lot of opportunities like this available, ones where you can cover a wide range of topics in a small area.”
All the Gwynne’s activities are included with admission to the Review, which is $7 in advance, $10 at the gate, and free for children 10 and younger. Free, continuously running wagon shuttles will run from the west end of the Review’s main grounds to the nearby Gwynne site. A readmission stamp isn’t needed.
The same shuttles will go to the Review’s field demonstrations of harvesting and other equipment.
In all, the Review will have more than 600 exhibitors with more than 4,000 product lines. Organizers expect total attendance to top 110,000. Hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sept. 20-21 and 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sept. 22. Details are at fsr.osu.edu.

A Civil War soldier misidentified when he was buried at an Ohio cemetery more than 150 years ago is to get a new headstone.
Confederate soldier Augustus Beckmann was fatally wounded in the Battle of Shiloh on April 7, 1862. But he was buried at the Camp Chase Confederate Cemetery in Columbus under the wrong name, A. Bergman, and wrong company, The Columbus Dispatch reports (http://bit.ly/2bzX8Ji ).
Beckmann’s brother’s great-great-grandson, Greg Beckman, discovered the error when he visited Camp Chase last Memorial Day.
Beckman, who teaches government at a high school in Placentia, California, pulled together the necessary documentation and asked the National Cemetery Administration to fix the headstone. He recently learned his request was approved.
An administration spokeswoman says approved stones are typically in place within 60 days.
Beckman’s great-great grandfather, William Beckmann, was Augustus’ brother. The two came to America from present-day Germany between 1858 and 1860 and enlisted in the 2nd Texas Infantry in Galveston.
“William never learned the fate of his brother, as August was buried under the wrong surname of Bergman all those years,” Beckman said. “The last time they saw one another was on the battlefield of Shiloh.”
August Beckmann was buried under the name Bergman at Camp Dennison near Cincinnati, and the incorrect name followed him when his remains and those of 30 other soldiers were removed in 1869 and reinterred at Camp Chase.
Beckman said he was happy to visit his relative’s gravesite, but wasn’t content with the incorrect inscription.
“I knew something had to be done about it,” he said.

The purpose of this event is to take the cost out of entering the game. We would like to create an atmosphere for our school that is full of school spirit and support for our student athletes and band participants. We want as many people as possible to fill Hillclimber Stadium and show that support. We want your entire family to come out and be entertained.
For us to be able to do this the athletic department could not take a hit on not having a gate. So we came up with a donation grid that is allowing businesses and individuals to donate to make up that cost. The outpouring of support has been huge from businesses and individuals that have given to the athletic department so we can do this. We have had businesses, associations and individuals donate to this event. Those donors are: Michael Farms, Urbana Association of Classroom Teachers (UACT), Andy’s Window Cleaning (Andy and Gina Lingrell), Urbana Boys Basketball, Volleyball, Football and Baseball teams, Jack’s Garage, John Birkhimer, Jim and Kathy Stouffer, Jason Shultz, Chris Dorsey, Susan Fleece, The Lions Club, Peoples Bank, Markin Pumps, Perpetual Bank, KTH, East Lawn and Garden, Lattimer Construction, Spriggs Landscaping, Mendie and Kevin Bowdle, White’s Ford, Johnson Welded Products and anonymous donors. Without these donations, a night like this would not be possible. Our hope is that with more donations we can open more nights up to the community without charging a gate.
We have also arranged with Kurt Scott and The Shirt Stop to have discounted t-shirts. He will be open with extended hours on Wednesday and Thursday until 6 p.m. in his downtown shop.
Not only are we trying to create a huge atmosphere for our student body, athletes and band performers, we also want to have a huge crowd for the induction of this year’s George Scott Ring of Honor. Those being inducted include Pam Brenning, Jannon Roland, Bill Moss and Gail Evans. These four people have had a huge influence with our athletic department and it’s a great way to recognize them by having a capacity crowd at this Friday night’s game.
The senior class is in charge of creating a theme for all of the football games during the season. This group selected to go with the theme for the night, which will be Climber Crazy. This will go right along with our Community Night as we want everyone in Urbana spirit wear.
We are still taking donations from businesses and individuals. If you are interested in donating for future events, please contact the UHS Athletic Department at 653-1416, Kevin Bowdle or Carie Thomas.
The Urbana High School Athletic Department hopes its football stadium is full Friday night when UHS hosts Stebbins. It will be Community Night, and fans will be admitted for free if they are donning Urbana Spirit Wear. http://urbanacitizen.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/web1_community-night.jpg The Urbana High School Athletic Department hopes its football stadium is full Friday night when UHS hosts Stebbins.

But council President Kevin Kelley said he’s still open to the idea of a merger with East Cleveland.
The East Cleveland City Council proposal and its conditions were released this week.
It calls for East Cleveland council members to continue receiving their salaries as members of an advisory council. Other demands included keeping red-light cameras even though Cleveland voters banned the cameras, and allowing East Cleveland residents to pay less in income tax than the rest of Cleveland.
“What was presented to us — this is not a starting point,” Kelley told Cleveland.com (http://bit.ly/2bLtFLc ).
The proposal also has failed to win support of East Cleveland’s own mayor.
East Cleveland Mayor Gary Norton said he doesn’t agree with the council’s demands, and said the only items missing from the proposal are “a moat, a drawbridge and a fire-breathing dragon.”
East Cleveland is one of Ohio’s poorest cities, and has for years been unable to pay for basic services, including street maintenance and snow removal, and for city employee salaries. Officials there are now exploring the possibility of annexation to Cleveland, and East Cleveland City Council members and their appointed commissioners are to negotiate with the larger city’s representatives.
Cleveland has a month to make appointments to the annexation commission and another four months to come up with terms for a merger.

Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. at I.L. & Sue Morris Stadium in Glenville, West Virginia.
“Looking toward Glenville, they’re a very, very good football team,” UU head coach Tyler Haines said. “They lost a lot of seniors especially on the offensive side of the ball, but they’re not in a rebuilding phase at all. They’re more in a reloading phase.”
UU is coming off a 2-9 season and will build upon the foundation put in place Haines’ first year. UU fell to Glenville 49-0 in Haines’ first game of his coaching career a year ago.
“We are more prepared this year than we were last year, there’s no question about that,” said Haines. “From a staff standpoint or a player standpoint we’re much better. We expect to go out there and execute, and do our job.”
The Blue Knight roster features 86 student-athletes, including 42 returners, 13 returning starters and 11 seniors. The squad will be led by captains Andre Cliff, Andrew Garland, Dereck Givens, Josh Dillard and Trevon Saunders.
“We’ve had multiple competitions at multiple positions,” Haines said. “We’ve kind of narrowed those down and we have decided who is going to be starting for us.”
OFFENSE
UU’s offense should be much improved after experiencing growing pains in 2015. Last season, the Blue Knights ranked 11th in the MEC for total offense with 287.2 yards per game.
The strength of the unit lies up front in four returning starters, including All-MEC performer Garland. The senior leads UU with 25 career starts and will switch from left guard to left tackle this year. Junior Doug Hardin returns at center, Brandon Lewis at right tackle, and Devan Pankey will shift to right guard. Sophomore Nick Bittinger will fill the gap at left guard.
The backfield raises the biggest question mark for the Blue Knights as two quarterbacks and three running backs will touch the field.
At quarterback, redshirt junior Tajuan Green and graduate transfer Marcus Graham are battling out for the starting nod heading into Thursday night’s contest.
Green burst onto the scene at the end of last season by throwing five touchdowns and no interceptions, including three scores at national runner-up Shepherd during his first start. He made his first appearance in the fourth quarter against Notre Dame College in Week 10, marching UU down the field with a touchdown on his first drive.
DEFENSE
Defensively, UU returns seven starters but will face a huge task in replacing All-American linebacker D’Gary Wallace (now coaching for UU) and All-MEC linebacker Kevin Chapple.
A heavy dose of experienced juniors and seven returning starters will carry a defense that ranked sixth in the MEC for total defense in 2015.
Clayton Bullard, Isaiah Turner and Dominic Painter will battle in the trenches. Bullard is the team’s leading returning tackler and combined with Turner for 16 tackles for loss in 2015.
At inside linebacker, Dillard inherits the leadership role after starting every game last year. He’ll move into the middle and will be joined by redshirt freshman Duray Hall. Senior Logan Smith and freshman Jalen Spears provide depth at the position.
Returning starters also include senior Carlton Rematt and senior Zach Severance at outside linebacker, along with junior Andre Cliff at free safety and sophomore Jemiah McNeal at strong corner. Cliff transitioned from cornerback after tying for the team lead with two interceptions last year.
Junior Dereck Givens, who has impressed through preseason with his size and speed, will take over the weakside corner position.
SPECIAL TEAMS
UU returns the entire specialist group from last season. Junior Ross Snodgrass will continue to hold the place-kicking duties while sophomore Brandon Purk is the team’s punter. In 2015, Purk averaged just under 40 yards per kick and landed eight punts inside the 20. Senior Cody King returns at long snapper and Pelfrey will serve as the holder on kick attempts. | http://urbanacitizen.com/sports/29071/uu-football-starts-season-thursday-night | en | 2016-08-30T00:00:00 | urbanacitizen.com/dab5dd6fdca4f28e0391c9ab89b5a517497c836aea0f64d745d245b60a266096.json |

CINCINNATI (AP) — Police in Cincinnati are asking for the public’s help in finding the source of the suspected heroin behind an estimated 78 overdoses in just two days this week.
Authorities believe the same batch is linked to three recent deaths.
They say there were an estimated 78 overdoses on Tuesday and Wednesday and a total of 174 overdoses in emergency rooms within the past week.
Local officials are calling it a public health emergency.
They suspect a drug used to sedate elephants that is 100 times as potent as the fentanyl could be behind the surge in overdoses.
County leaders on Thursday said they’ll seek funding for treatment that would come with expanded response teams.
The teams would offer treatment to people who’ve overdosed.
Weather Service confirms 4 tornadoes in western Ohio county
The National Weather Service says four tornadoes touched down in one western Ohio county during a storm that moved across Indiana and Ohio.
Emergency officials in Van Wert County near the Indiana state line say they’re fortunate that the tornadoes rolled across mostly rural farmland during the storms Wednesday night. They say six properties had just minor damage.
The weather service also confirms that it was a tornado that damaged eight homes in Putnam County.
A county official says the homes lost siding, shingles and have a few broken windows.
Crews are still assessing the damage in Paulding and Defiance counties where suspected tornadoes blew the roofs off homes and tore through a mobile home park.
Officials in Ohio say there haven’t been any reports of injuries from the storm.
Man, 29, gets prison for dragging officer in traffic stop
AKRON, Ohio (AP) — A 29-year-old northeast Ohio man has been sentenced to seven years behind bars after he admitted to dragging an officer for two blocks while fleeing a traffic stop.
Demardre Johnson pleaded guilty on Thursday to charges including felonious assault, resisting arrest and obstructing justice. Johnson apologized for his actions in court.
Authorities say Akron police officers pulled Johnson over in February and asked him for his driver’s license. The man told police he didn’t have one and refused an officer’s request to step out of his vehicle.
Police say when they tried to open his door, Johnson shifted into drive and took off with an officer hanging on the vehicle’s door. The SUV eventually crashed and Johnson was taken into custody.
The officer was treated for minor injuries.
Ohio city moves forward with medical marijuana moratorium
AVON LAKE, Ohio (AP) — An Ohio city is pushing forward with a medical marijuana moratorium ahead of the state’s forthcoming medical marijuana program.
WEWS-TV reports Avon Lake’s safety committee voted Wednesday to move forward with a moratorium that allows it to hold off on granting building permits or certificates permitting the cultivation, processing or sale of the drug for six months.
The move wouldn’t ban the use of prescribed medical marijuana.
Committee Chair David Kos says they don’t want to issue any permits they could regret and the move gives them some breathing room. He says the state law was put through without a lot of input from individual municipalities.
Brooklyn and Lakewood have also adopted similar moratoriums. Those cities say they need more time to plan. North Olmsted and Sheffield Village are also considering moratoriums.
Judge upholds Cleveland law requiring gun offender registry
CLEVELAND (AP) — A judge has upheld a law that requires Cleveland residents newly convicted of gun offenses to register with the police department, though a few provisions were knocked down in the ruling issued this week.
The gun registry law took effect late last year. It says residents charged with gun offenses must register within five days of being convicted or released from prison.
Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson and city council members pushed through the new gun laws in the hope of curbing gun violence in the city.
Members of Ohioans for Concealed Carry challenged the changes.
Cleveland.com reports the Cuyahoga County judge’s ruling did strike down a provision allowing police officers to confiscate guns in some cases, along with new, stricter definitions of automatic weapons.
Ohio troopers OK new contract, will get 1st raises since ‘08
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio troopers would get raises for the first time since 2008 under a new contract that has been approved by their union and awaits review by a panel that oversees state spending.
The Ohio State Troopers Association this week overwhelmingly approved a three-year contract. It would give state troopers and other represented employees raises totaling 12.5 percent over that span, plus a one-time $750 ratification payment.
The contract comes a month after union members rejected a contract offering a 13.5 percent raise over three years. Cleveland.com reports troopers will get more in raises than other state union employees over the next three years in exchange for concessions in a health program and other changes.
Ohio’s Controlling Board considers the agreement Monday. If it’s approved, it takes effect Sept. 29. | http://urbanacitizen.com/news/28495/ohio-news-briefs-43 | en | 2016-08-26T00:00:00 | urbanacitizen.com/50ec663f2327aed792243704cb8e3b4a18d0a23ee054d6faae5793c6c186270e.json |

(AP) — Ohio Gov. John Kasich is wading into state politics as he returns to New Hampshire, endorsing GOP gubernatorial hopeful Chris Sununu in his contested primary.
Kasich, who took second in the state’s 2016 presidential primary, is calling Sununu a “pragmatic conservative” cut in his own mold. He’s also pointing to Sununu’s role as chief executive of Waterville Valley ski resort as a strong credential.
Sununu faces Manchester Mayor Ted Gatsas, state Sen. Jeanie Forrester and state Rep. Frank Edelblut in the Sept. 13 primary.
Kasich is campaigning for down-ballot Republicans nationwide but his choice to weigh in on Sununu’s race is unique. Sununu is the only non-incumbent Republican in a contested primary winning Kasich’s backing. Sununu’s brother, former U.S. Sen. John E.

The 20-megawatt solar field in Bowling Green in northwestern Ohio will surpass the 12-megawatt Wyandot Solar Farm in the north-central part of the state.
Daryl Stockburger, Bowling Green’s assistant utilities director, said about 38 percent of the city’s energy will come from renewable sources once the solar project in complete. That’s up from its current level of about 12 percent.
The Blade (http://bit.ly/2bSELf5 ) newspaper in Toledo reported that percentage is 1.5 percent across the state.
The Bowling Green solar field is the largest within an 80-megawatt project that will be spread across 26 sites that are mostly in Ohio, Stockburger said.
“Ohio’s changing rapidly,” Luke Sulfridge, program director for OH SUN, a statewide group that promotes community solar projects. “This will be an interesting year.”
The federal Environmental Protection Agency has said the average amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere every year is now more than 400 parts per million for the first time in at least 800,000 years.
The White House has promoted a mix of natural gas and renewable energy to reduce carbon emissions.
Neocles Leontis, a chemistry professor at Bowling Green State University, said the big picture question is how much carbon dioxide emissions can be lowered.
Climate change “is not a question of 20 years from now,” he said. “It’s happening right now.”

Before the three-day summit began Wednesday, Cincinnati first responders were chasing what turned out to be some 80 overdosing cases over a two-day period beginning Tuesday. On Thursday, the state Department of Health reported that accidental drug overdoses killed 3,050 people in Ohio in 2015, averaging eight deaths a day in a record toll fueled by the powerful painkiller fentanyl. In 2014, the total was 2,531. That’s an increase of 20.5 percent.
Chief Justice Maureen O’Connor hopes the summit leads to ongoing collaboration across borders and jurisdictions. The states involved were Kentucky, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia.
“You wonder … It’s depressing,” she said of overdose surges, such as in Cincinnati and earlier this summer, in Akron, where she had been a county prosecutor. “And it’s a reflection: What don’t they get about it? Why does this continue to go on?”
O’Connor discussed in an interview the impacts of heroin and painkiller drug abuse.
Some excerpts:
___
ON HOW THE EPIDEMIC AFFECTS THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM
“It really is enormous … It is a burden on courts, it truly is, but it is a burden on our treatment facilities as well.
“When we talk about the addict being involved in the criminal justice system, that’s one system. They may also been involved in the juvenile system, because they’re having their children taken away from them because of their drug addiction. There are people involved in the juvenile system because they are neglecting their children, but haven’t been caught yet in a criminal case.
“This is everybody’s problem. This isn’t just the addicts and the justice system and the child welfare.”
___
ON PUBLIC PERCEPTIONS
“One of the biggest problems I see in public awareness is that the public is not sympathetic …
“I’ll bet you that there’s more than a couple of people looking at the morning headlines (about Cincinnati overdoses) or listening to them and saying ‘Why bother?” So where’s the public engagement in this problem?
“Now just because the public isn’t wrapping their arms around it doesn’t mean the people who are dealing with it day in and day out aren’t going to do what they need to do. But the public is critical about the amount of funding it takes to deal with this problem.”
___
ON DRUG COURTS THAT FOCUS ON REHABILITATING USERS
“We have 90-some drug courts in the state of Ohio … they’re run by judges who are caring and involved and they see the fact of the involvement of the heroin and the other illegal substances … They’re up to capacity, if not over capacity, with their resources, and I think that’s an issue with our state.
“The bulk of these abusers, these addicts, people who are drug-involved, they need the treatment … we need to be up to capacity, increase our capacity, to be able to deal with it.”
___
ON COURT PROGRAMS SUCH AS OFFERING OPIATE-BLOCKING SHOTS
“This has to be data-driven decision-making. It takes pilot programs and then it takes those programs expanded to other jurisdictions to get good solid data.
“The Vivitrol, and the other medically assisted treatments that are out there; I think they already have gotten the stamp of approval in many respects, but that’s only half the battle. The other half of the battle is to convince the judges and policymakers that that’s a great alternative, that if somebody is in the system, that is a way we can help them get better.
“It used to be arrest, incarcerate, and then when they’re done with their time, put ‘em back out on the street. There was no treatment, there was no recognition that this is a disease.
“It would be like if cancer was a criminal activity. You arrest them … you’ve got cancer, you do your time, get out, and gee, you still have cancer.” | http://urbanacitizen.com/news/28763/ohio-chief-justice-on-court-impacts-roles-in-drug-epidemic-3 | en | 2016-08-28T00:00:00 | urbanacitizen.com/59fd95d460809a9ce90e57d0506fbdbdbc532142052d73ccba079fcf40f9bae4.json |

A Civil War soldier misidentified when he was buried at an Ohio cemetery more than 150 years ago is to get a new headstone.
The Columbus Dispatch (http://bit.ly/2bzX8Ji ) reports that Confederate soldier Augustus Beckmann was fatally wounded in the Battle of Shiloh on April 7, 1862. But he was buried at the Camp Chase Confederate Cemetery in Columbus under the wrong name, A. Bergman, and wrong company.
Beckmann’s brother’s great-great-grandson, Greg Beckman, discovered the error when he visited Camp Chase last Memorial Day. He put together the necessary documentation, asked the National Cemetery Administration to fix the headstone, and recently learned his request was approved.
An administration spokeswoman says approved stones are typically in place within 60 days.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A state report card has found that health plans serving most Ohioans in the Medicaid program are doing average or better when it comes to how their doctors communicate with them.
Ohio Medicaid officials recently released the state’s second annual performance evaluation for all five managed care plans serving about 2.4 million poor and disabled Ohioans on the program, The Columbus Dispatch reported.
The plans receive one, two or three stars in each of five performance categories: keeping kids healthy; women’s health care; access to care; helping those living with chronic illness; and doctors’ communication and service.
CareSource received the highest marks, earning 13 of a possible 15 stars. Buckeye Health Plan got the lowest score at eight stars, which was the same score it received last year.
State Medicaid Director John McCarthy said the report card aims to inform consumers and provide incentives for the health plans to improve their services.
“It puts information in the individual’s hands so they can pick a managed care plan and creates competition among plans,” McCarthy said.
The card is based on data provided by the plans and patient surveys. The plans were rated based on comparisons with each other so all would not be able to receive perfect scores or the lowest ones.
Of the 3 million enrolled in tax-funded Medicaid in the state, about 80 percent are in managed care.
Miranda Motter, president and CEO of the Ohio Association of Health Plans, said the association “continues to support efforts that better engage Medicaid consumers and bring greater transparency to the health care delivery system.”
Treasurer, auditor team up on spending-transparency effort
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio’s treasurer and auditor have joined forces to make it easier for local governments to share financial information online.
The effort announced this month by Treasurer Josh Mandel and Auditor Dave Yost is an extension of fiscal transparency efforts that have been expanding in the state for almost two years.
Mandel’s office launched an online checkbook of state spending information in December 2014. That site has since expanded to include pension funds and some local governments, school districts and universities. Ohio’s Office of Budget and Management brought the state’s entire accounting system online in June.
The latest effort integrates OhioCheckbook.com with the Auditor’s Uniform Accounting Network, a “one-stop shop” for local governments to submit year-end financial reports and checkbook-level spending information.
Dayton man charged with murder in death of foster son, 2
DAYTON, Ohio (AP) — A southwest Ohio man has been indicted on murder and other charges in the death of his 2-year-old foster son last year.
The Montgomery County prosecutor says 37-year-old Torace Weaver, of Dayton, also was indicted on counts of endangering children, involuntary manslaughter, reckless homicide, assault and obstructing official business.
No attorney was listed in court records for Weaver, who will be arraigned next month.
The prosecutor says emergency personnel were called to a Dayton church on Nov. 18 on a report of a toddler who wasn’t breathing. He died at a hospital.
The prosecutor says Weaver said the child fell from a table, but medical checks and an autopsy showed the boy had bruising, scars and a large burn. | http://urbanacitizen.com/news/28762/ohio-news-briefs-44 | en | 2016-08-28T00:00:00 | urbanacitizen.com/f264d95248df397f83933cdba803ce8ac07863afa75dc34ef858ca0c4907752a.json |

The state’s natural resources department says the convictions follow an investigation that began last spring.
Officers say they seized more than 500 pounds of walleye meat after finding that the fish had been cut up to disguise how many had been kept.
Wildlife officers say they were acting on several tips from the public.
Ohio officials say the suspects were ordered to pay $3,300 in fines and court costs.
The natural resources department said in a recent news release that the seized walleye were donated to people in northwest Ohio through several facilities, including the Ohio Veterans Home in Sandusky County. | http://urbanacitizen.com/wire/state-wire/28698/wisconsin-anglers-convicted-of-going-over-fish-limit-in-ohio-2 | en | 2016-08-27T00:00:00 | urbanacitizen.com/b65258567f39ccdf1564048df46e2c0a035ab1af4649d319ef507131b258575f.json |

Police at the scene arrested a 29-year-old North Ridgeville man who was carrying a rifle.

The 17-year-old Crestview Future Farmers of America member had been raising a hog for the fair before he died unexpectedly of a seizure in his sleep May 29, said his father, Greg Ramsay. Walker would have been a senior at Crestview this year.
In the midst of their heartbreak, the Ramsay family decided to finish what Walker started. They asked Walker’s vocational agriculture teacher Joel Albright and fair board member Dave Grauer for help and permission to go ahead and show Walker’s project, with the intention of selling it to raise money for a memorial scholarship fund. They agreed.
Walker’s friend, Justin Bond, showed the hog in Walker’s place.
When it came time to sell the animal, the show arena was packed with bidders and spectators, including the entire Crestview football team, of which Walker was a member. Walker was a three-sport athlete, also playing baseball and basketball.
The bids started high and soared even higher, with winning bidder Phillips Manufacturing eventually paying $12,000 for the hog.
And then the add-ons began coming in. The Crestview FFA Buyers Club pledged $5,200. Sportsmans Den gave $2,000. Gifts poured in from Shelby Buyers Club, Mechanics Bank, Milliron, Schroeder Farms, and many other businesses and individuals.
Add-ons kept coming in throughout the afternoon, with the total amount raised exceeding $35,000 shortly after the sale. The entire proceeds will go to the scholarship fund as the livestock committee decided not to take a portion of the sale amount.
The generosity of the community brought the family to tears.
“We knew we had a lot of support, but nothing like this,” Greg Ramsay said. “It just proves what kind of a community we live in.”
Following the auction, members of the football team, the Crestview FFA, the livestock committee and others lined up to hug the family.
Greg expressed his gratitude to the community for their support and said he would want people to continue to remember his son for his bright smile.
“Everybody talks about his smile,” Greg said.

PARIS – The William DeVoe sketch from the 1874 Champaign County Atlas illustrates a rather simple home of John Ferris Riker. Back in 1858, John was the first mayor of St. Paris, after he had returned home empty-handed from his adventures in the California Gold Rush with his brother Aaron, marrying, and starting a family.
The 1881 bio of John Riker, published by Beers in History of Champaign County, lists him as a noteworthy gardener of fruits and vegetables and calls the business venture “a new and unique feature of its kind in Johnson Township.” It also lists him as having been a teacher. J. F. Riker & Co. is also sketched in the 1874 Atlas as a Manufacturer & Dealer in Hard & Soft Lumber, Lath & Shingles, Sash, Doors, Blinds, Mouldings, Flooring, & Siding on South Springfield Street. He married Eliza Anne Lichlider in 1854. She would live to be almost 99. They experienced living in the pioneer days in our Champaign County amongst the native Indians, the Gold Rush of 1849, President Lincoln’s assassination, the advent of baseball, the invention of the automobile and the airplane. It was quite a life lived by remarkable citizens of St. Paris who lived in this home featured in the atlas. John began Civil War service as a Captain of Volunteers in Company E-113th, Ohio Volunteer Infantry and was fortunate to come home uninjured. He then served several more terms as mayor of the town. Their son, Freeman Riker co-owned the Walborn-Riker Company, a then well known pony wagon maker, and grandson Ben Riker wrote in 1948 the historical account of Saint Paris during its buggy making days called “Pony Wagon Town.” The Rikers were a family institution in St. Paris town history. Freeman’s sister, Emma, married Charles Brown in 1889 while sister Carrie married a Frazier.
Now who would guess that this home at 208 High Street, Saint Paris (in the “now” photo) was built before 1874? It looks quite modern, electrical lines and telephone lines running several directions. A personal lighted post welcomes guests at the beginning of the walkway up to the front door. The extended covered porch has been replaced with an open smaller wrought iron railed stoop. The windows still have shutters and the front door appears to be the original front door of the 1874 home. No roof-top chimneys appear to be needed for the heat system anymore. High Street is one of the last streets running north and south on the west side of town. It must be a busy street as no parking is allowed in front of this home, indicated by the yellow painted curb. A privacy fence is observed along the driveway as another home is close by and of course what every American modern home wants, a two-car garage and paved lane. The property owners show a concern to make sure the roof water run off is drained away from the house to help assure a dry foundation. This appears to be is a very well preserved old house.
John Riker lived in this St. Paris home, found in the 1874 Champaign County Atlas. http://urbanacitizen.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/web1_Then.jpg John Riker lived in this St. Paris home, found in the 1874 Champaign County Atlas.

7:15 p.m.
The National Weather Service says a preliminary damage survey shows the EF3 tornado that hit Kokomo had an estimated peak wind of 152 mph.
The weather service says the tornado traveled nearly 5 miles on the city’s south side Wednesday, was about 300 yards wide and lasted 10 minutes.
It says the tornado destroyed a Starbucks near the Markland Mall.
The weather service earlier had classified the tornado as an EF3, which can have peak winds of 165 mph.
___
6:15 p.m.
Wednesday’s tornado outbreak that swept Indiana came only about a week after another big August outbreak of tornadoes hit the state.
The National Weather Service said last week that eight tornadoes touched down across Indiana on Aug. 15. The previous August record was an outbreak on Aug. 9, 1969, that spawned five tornadoes.
Mike Ryan is a meteorologist with the weather service’s Indianapolis office. He says Wednesday’s outbreak could eclipse that record set only last week, if the storm tally reaches nine or more tornadoes.
As of late Thursday afternoon, weather service survey crews had confirmed that seven tornadoes hit Indiana on Wednesday. Ryan says he expects that tally to increase.
___
5:50 p.m.
The National Weather Service says at least seven tornadoes swept parts of central and northern Indiana during Wednesday’s outbreak.
Meteorologist Mike Ryan with the weather service’s Indianapolis office says five tornado touchdowns have been confirmed in central Indiana and two have been confirmed in two northeastern Indiana counties.
But he says weather service survey crews are still surveying storm damage and he expects the tornado tally to continue to rise.
One of the tornadoes that hit central Indiana was an EF3 with winds up to 165 mph that damaged and destroyed homes and business in the city of Kokomo, about 40 miles north of Indianapolis.
The weather service says a tornado that hit northeastern Indiana’s Allen County appears to have also been an EF3, although a final assessment is pending.
___
1:40 p.m.
Howard County and the city of Kokomo have only 10 tornado sirens, but a telephone and text-messaging system spread the word about dangerous storms bearing down on the central Indiana community.
WRTV-TV reports (http://bit.ly/2bCZFhp ) the emergency alert system was installed in the county after a 2013 tornado.
Before the first tornado struck Wednesday, thousands of people received telephone calls or text messages.
Howard County Commissioner Paul Wyman says “thousands upon thousands of people in Howard County” have signed up for the notifications and “it worked unbelievably well. … People were getting notifications well in advance of these tornadoes touching down.”
The National Weather Service says one tornado was an EF3 with 165 mph winds. Authorities report only 10-15 minor injuries in Howard County.
___
12:30 p.m.
Not even KISS could rock ‘n’ roll all night with tornado sirens blaring.
Frontman Gene Simmons tweeted that the band’s show in Toledo, Ohio, was stopped briefly Wednesday night during a tornado warning.
He says some people went into the arena to seek shelter until the storm passed.
While no tornadoes touched down in Toledo, there was a long line of damage across the northwestern part of the state from the storm that first hit central and northern Indiana.
About six trailers were damaged at a mobile home park near Hicksville in Ohio.
Officials in Van Wert County say at least two tornadoes touched down about 2 miles apart, tearing roofs off homes and flattening barns.
___
12:15 p.m.
Indiana Gov. Mike Pence says it is a miracle that no one was killed or badly hurt by a tornado that hit the city of Kokomo.
Pence spoke Thursday after touring a neighborhood and businesses hit by Wednesday’s tornado. The National Weather Service says it was an EF3 tornado, packing winds of up to 165 mph.
Pence also visited a Red Cross shelter where some 200 people spent the night.
He credited quick thinking and early warnings of the approaching storm for the lack of serious injuries.
Pence and U.S. Sen. Joe Donnelly were among officials who talked with residents in a neighborhood where homes were also damaged by a 2013 tornado.
Donnelly said Kokomo is a resilient, tough community and that all the residents he spoke with vowed to rebuild.
___
12:05 p.m.
The National Weather Service says it’s still unclear how many tornadoes touched down in Indiana on Wednesday.
The state’s Department of Homeland Security reported early Thursday that 12 tornadoes hit the state, but later the agency revised that number to eight.
Weather service meteorologist Joseph Nield says it’s not yet clear how many tornadoes touched down, although an EF3 tornado did strike Kokomo and an EF2 swept part of Montgomery County.
Nield says it’s likely several more tornadoes struck Indiana, but that those findings won’t come until later Thursday.
He says five separate weather service survey crews are scouring areas with storm damage in central and northern Indiana to determine if tornadoes struck there.
___
10:55 a.m.
Indiana Gov. Mike Pence has been hugging and chatting with people whose homes were destroyed or damaged when a tornado whipped through the city of Kokomo.
Donald Trump’s running mate arrived in Kokomo by helicopter to view the damage Thursday morning, a day after heavy storms spawned tornadoes across north and central Indiana.
Many trees were knocked down in the storm, and a large truck was hurled onto its side. Some homes are ruined while others were largely untouched.
Pence returned to Indiana after campaign stops in North Carolina on Wednesday. He has cancelled a campaign trip planned for Thursday.
___
8:35 a.m.
The mayor of Kokomo says crews from elsewhere in the state are coming to the central Indiana city to help restore power and clean up debris in the tornado-hit community.
Kokomo Mayor Greg Goodnight said Thursday morning that he’s grateful that no one was killed or seriously injured by the storm that struck Wednesday afternoon, damaging numerous houses, apartments and businesses.
He says about 220 people stayed overnight in a temporary shelter in Kokomo, about 40 miles north of Indianapolis.
Howard County Sheriff Steve Rogers says 10 to 15 people suffered minor injuries.
Utility companies report at least 15,000 homes and businesses remain without electricity in Howard County.
Police have restricted access to storm-damage neighborhoods, saying residents must show identification to officers before entering.
___
8:15 a.m.
Indiana’s Department of Homeland Security says a tornado outbreak produced at least 12 tornadoes.
Agency spokesman John Erickson says officials are still assessing the storm damage Thursday, but that the tally as of Wednesday night showed 12 tornadoes touched down in Adams, Allen, Blackford, Cass, Grant, Howard, Marion and Montgomery counties in northern and central Indiana.
Several of those tornadoes struck Howard County, where the south side of the city of Kokomo suffered extensive damage.
National Weather Service surveys Thursday should determine whether additional storm damage in other areas was caused by tornadoes or high winds in severe thunderstorms.
___
7:45 a.m.
Emergency officials and the Red Cross have set up shelters for victims of tornadoes that swept across central Indiana.
One shelter is at the Kokomo Event and Conference Center. The Indianapolis Star reports that about 200 people were being housed and fed at the center at 9 p.m. on Wednesday, hours after the storms moved through. Kokomo is about 50 miles north of Indianapolis.
Another shelter is at Walnut Elementary School in New Ross, northwest of Indianapolis.
The Indiana Red Cross regional headquarters in Indianapolis has a team of employees and volunteers working at an operations center.
The National Weather Service says at least eight tornadoes touched down on Wednesday causing substantial damage. Authorities say between 15 and 20 people suffered injuries but none were severe.
___
7:05 a.m.
The National Weather Service says at least seven tornadoes swept parts of central and northern Indiana during Wednesday’s outbreak.
One was an EF3 with winds up to 165 mph that damaged and destroyed homes and business in the city of Kokomo, about 40 miles north of Indianapolis.
The weather service says a tornado that hit northeastern Indiana’s Allen County appears to have also been an EF3, although a final assessment is pending.
GOP vice presidential candidate and Indiana Gov. Mike Pence plans to leave the campaign trail Thursday to assess storm damage.
The weather service says two other thunderstorms produced separate tornadoes, one in Avon west of Indianapolis and one northwest of Lafayette, which is southwest of Indianapolis.
___
This update has been corrected to show that the National Weather Service said at least seven, not eight, tornadoes hit during Wednesday’s storm. The original update relied on information from the weather service’s tally of an Aug. 15 tornado outbreak, not Wednesday’s storm.
___
9:20 p.m.
Indiana Gov. Mike Pence says he’ll tour Howard and Montgomery counties and possibly other areas Thursday to assess the storm damage.
The Republican vice presidential candidate returned to Indiana from the campaign trail Wednesday evening after the National Weather Service said several tornadoes struck the state. One that hit Kokomo has been determined to be an EF3 with 165 mph winds.
Pence says he’ll remain in the state as long as necessary to ensure people affected by the storms have the support they need. He says 200 people have checked in to a Red Cross shelter in Kokomo.
Indiana State Police spokesman Capt. David Bursten says about a dozen people were injured, but none seriously. | http://urbanacitizen.com/wire/state-wire/28441/the-latest-kokomo-ef3-tornado-had-peak-wind-of-152-mph | en | 2016-08-26T00:00:00 | urbanacitizen.com/529d6f99fa404d4aeaa14cc3aba2d14545e61f27925e136b857c82ed414efbf8.json |

The Columbus Dispatch reports (http://bit.ly/2bUwzM1 ) the state Department of Job and Family Services warned the panel of six Republicans and two Democrats Thursday that even a small recession would “render us insolvent.”
The agency says the state could increase employer taxes, levy a surcharge on businesses or suspend or lower benefit amounts.
Other possible reforms include lengthening benefit wait periods or shortening the amount of time benefits can be received.
The panel was created last year after a bill stalled that aimed at resolving the challenges facing the state’s unemployment compensation system.

The court ruled 4-3 Tuesday in favor of a man sued after his unsuccessful efforts to free another man whose leg was pinned between a truck and a loading dock in Fairfield.
Dennis Carter lost his leg after Larry Reese, the man trying to help him, inadvertently caused the truck to roll back and crush Carter’s leg.
Attorneys for Reese said he shouldn’t be held liable for the accident because Ohio’s good Samaritan law protects people trying to help in such circumstances.
Justice Terrence O’Donnell, writing for the majority, says the law applies to anyone providing emergency care or treatment, not just health care professionals. | http://urbanacitizen.com/wire/state-wire/29055/ohio-court-rules-that-immunity-law-covers-non-medical-help-2 | en | 2016-08-30T00:00:00 | urbanacitizen.com/99af2aabc97e90ec74375a19410efba684654b44ee9e4eb01873672350727892.json |

Newtown Police Chief Thomas Synan, who heads the Hamilton County Drug Coalition task force, said reports show heroin overdoses dropped to 10 to 15 a day over the weekend. Just Friday, emergency rooms reported 174 overdose cases over six days, for an average of 29 per day, although Synan said some likely were not from heroin. But he said 20 to 25 overdoses in a week would be more typical.
“We’re not seeing anything like we did last week, but it’s still a little elevated,” he said.
He said authorities have samples of heroin that was being sold and they will test it, hoping to determine the source. They suspect it was mixed with another drug, such as the powerful painkiller fentanyl or the elephant tranquilizer carfentanil.
“I think it shows the callousness of those who are dealing this drug,” Synan said. “They do not care about the person they are selling to, they do not care about the communities they affect.”
Communities in the neighboring states of Indiana, Kentucky and West Virginia also saw overdose spikes last week. Meanwhile, Tennessee state officials on Monday urged increased public awareness of fentanyl, a synthetic opioid that’s also being mixed with other drugs or as cheap counterfeits, and the increased risk of overdoses and fatalities.
Ohio health authorities reported last week that fentanyl helped fuel a record number of overdoses in 2015, when accidental drug overdoses killed 3,050 people in the state. A record high of 47,055 people died from drug overdoses in the United States in 2014, according to the latest figures from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Overdose death tolls likely would be even worse without naloxone, a now widely available overdose antidote that many first responders carry. In Ohio alone, emergency medical personnel last year administered nearly 19,800 doses of naloxone, known by the brand name Narcan.
The state pharmacy board said Monday that 1,000 Ohio pharmacies, or about 47 percent of them, now offer the overdose antidote naloxone without a prescription. Expanding access to it beyond emergency responders has been a major part of Ohio’s strategy to curb the increasing overdoses and deaths.
However, authorities say use of fentanyl, which the CDC says is 50 to 100 times more potent that morphine, and even-stronger carfentanil, makes reviving users more difficult. Cincinnati first responders used multiple Narcan doses to save some users last week.
In southeastern Indiana, Jennings County Sheriff Gary Driver said Monday some of those who overdosed during last week’s wave there needed three or four doses to be revived. He said heroin taken from overdosers’ homes has been sent to an Indiana State Police laboratory for analysis to determine if it was laced with fentanyl or another drug.
“We hope that what happened scared people, made them aware that it might be laced. But people are still using heroin, and that stuff is deadly whether it’s laced or not,” Driver said.
Autopsy results are pending on a woman who died in one of the Jennings County cases.
Authorities in Cincinnati said three to five deaths there are believed connected to the overdose wave last week.
Synan praised “astonishing work” by Cincinnati firefighters and other first responders for saving as many people as they did during an exhausting wave, while adding there are rarely any calm days in the anti-drug effort.
“This has been an event, a spike,” Synan said. “But this is a continual battle that we have every single day throughout the region.”

BOWLING GREEN, Ohio (AP) — A new solar field set to become Ohio’s largest installation is on track to open by the end of the year.
The 20-megawatt solar field in Bowling Green in northwestern Ohio will surpass the 12-megawatt Wyandot Solar Farm in the north-central part of the state.
Daryl Stockburger, Bowling Green’s assistant utilities director, said about 38 percent of the city’s energy will come from renewable sources once the solar project in complete. That’s up from its current level of about 12 percent.
The Blade newspaper in Toledo reported that percentage is 1.5 percent across the state.
The Bowling Green solar field is the largest within an 80-megawatt project that will be spread across 26 sites that are mostly in Ohio, Stockburger said.
“Ohio’s changing rapidly,” Luke Sulfridge, program director for OH SUN, a statewide group that promotes community solar projects. “This will be an interesting year.”
The federal Environmental Protection Agency has said the average amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere every year is now more than 400 parts per million for the first time in at least 800,000 years.
The White House has promoted a mix of natural gas and renewable energy to reduce carbon emissions.
Neocles Leontis, a chemistry professor at Bowling Green State University, said the big picture question is how much carbon dioxide emissions can be lowered.
Climate change “is not a question of 20 years from now,” he said. “It’s happening right now.”
1,000 Ohio pharmacies offer overdose antidote without Rx
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The state pharmacy board says 1,000 Ohio pharmacies, or about 47 percent of them, now offer the overdose antidote naloxone without a prescription.
Expanding access to it has been a major part of Ohio’s strategy to curb the increasing overdoses and deaths attributed to heroin and stronger drugs, such as fentanyl.
Naloxone, also known by the brand name Narcan, can be administered before emergency responders arrive. It isn’t harmful if the recipient hasn’t actually overdosed on heroin or similar drugs.
Gov. John Kasich signed a law last year enabling pharmacies to distribute the reversal drug to an at-risk opioid user or a user’s relative or friend without a prescription.
The Board of Pharmacy said Monday that 79 of Ohio’s 88 counties now have at least one of those pharmacies .
Ohio cop who fatally shot robbery suspect not indicted
HAMILTON, Ohio (AP) — A police officer who fatally shot a robbery suspect authorities say was holding a knife to a pharmacist’s throat at an Ohio drugstore won’t be indicted in the shooting.
Butler County’s prosecutor says a county grand jury declined to return any indictments against the Hamilton officer who shot 34-year-old Kelley Brandon Forte on Aug. 22.
Prosecutor Michael Gmoser says Forte was shot by the officer three times after Forte charged at him and wouldn’t comply with police commands.
The prosecutor says the confrontation was captured on store surveillance video.
Hamilton police say officers responded to the Walgreen’s store after 911 callers told dispatchers they saw a man jump the pharmacy counter. Police say the responding officers found Forte holding a knife to the pharmacist’s throat.
Officials warn Ohio students of grant, scholarship scams
OXFORD, Ohio (AP) — College students and parents in southwest Ohio are being warned to watch out for scammers seeking to rip people off through fake scholarship and tax schemes.
“Whether it’s the first year or the final year of college, life before the beginning of the school year is busy for students,” said Sandy Guile, of the Better Business Bureau of Cincinnati. “There is little time to deal with a scam, but plenty of opportunity for a scammer to strike if a student is not paying attention.”
The organization says there are three popular scams circulating that aim to steal money or personal information from students at area schools such as Miami University and the University of Cincinnati, The Hamilton-Middletown Journal-News reported.
In a federal student tax scam, victims are being told they’re in trouble with the government and owe a debt. Another is leading students to believe they’ve been awarded a grant that they don’t have to pay back, but they have to cover a processing fee to claim it.
The third scheme involves fake scholarships that encourage applicants to send money upfront.
“Unfortunately, scammers have found a way to create fraudulent forms, websites, and marketing materials making claims to have ways to finance the cost of higher education at minimal or no cost,” Guile said.
At Miami, students recently were alerted to a scam in which students were told they owed “student taxes” and could be arrested if they didn’t send money.
Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine has been warning students across Ohio about these scams and said people of all ages can be targeted.
“For a student with limited income, losing money to a con artist can be devastating,” DeWine said.
Crews cleaning up mud and debris from storms in Ohio
CINCINNATI (AP) — Crews continued to clean up mud and debris from storms that rolled through parts of Ohio and flooded some roads.
A few schools in the Cincinnati area were closed Monday because of flooding and storm damage.
Meteorologists with the National Weather Service say between 3 to 5 inches of rain fell within a couple of hours in the Cincinnati area Sunday night. Parts of Interstate 71 and numerous other roads in the area were closed for a time due to high water, and several vehicles were stranded. No injuries were reported.
The Red Cross was helping about 30 people displaced by the flooding.
The Cincinnati area was expected to have partly cloudy skies Monday, with a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms.
Ohio gas prices climb some moving toward end of summer
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Gas prices in Ohio are a couple of cents higher than a week ago and 15 cents higher than a month ago.
The average price for a gallon of regular gas in Ohio was $2.19 in Monday’s survey from auto club AAA, the Oil Price Information Service and WEX Inc. That’s up from $2.17 a week ago and $2.04 the same time last month.
The average price in Ohio a year ago was $2.42.
The national average price Monday was $2.22, up six cents from a week ago and eight cents the same time last month. The average national price a year ago was $2.49.
Pump prices have been driven by crude oil prices surging more than 20 percent in August and refinery issues impacting production in some regions.
Boat accident injures at least 1 person in northwest Ohio
TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) — Authorities say at least one person was hurt when a boat carrying multiple people on the Ottawa River in northwest Ohio hit a bridge abutment.
The Blade reports the crash occurred early Sunday in Toledo and one person was unconscious. Authorities haven’t said what that person’s condition is.
It’s unclear what caused the crash or whether there were any other injuries. | http://urbanacitizen.com/news/28891/ohio-news-briefs-45 | en | 2016-08-29T00:00:00 | urbanacitizen.com/29a2e07a8ff3ef454e584cc41d4cc546628f71f9edcd7ec53be997184f67bb6d.json |

Trading volumes and momentum also faded in the backdrop of slumping commodities, weak demand and overcapacity in emerging economies.
KEEPING SCORE: Japan’s Nikkei 225 was down 0.7 percent at 16,448. Hong Kong’ Hang Seng index rose 0.6 percent to 22,963.33. China’s Shanghai Composite was up 0.4 percent at 3,080.15. Australia’s S&P ASX 200 slid 0.1 percent to 5,534.20. South Korea’s KOSPI fell 0.3 percent at 2,037.56. Southeast Asian markets were mixed.
WALL STREET: Stocks fell in light trading for a second day on Thursday as investors sifted through a mix of earnings reports. The major indexes wavered between small gains and losses in the morning then moved lower in the afternoon as investors dumped health care stocks. Disappointing earnings from a few retailers helped push down stocks of companies that rely on consumer spending. The losses were modest, and both the Standard & Poor’s 500 index and Dow Jones industrial average remain close to their record highs hit last week. The Dow Jones industrial average fell 33.07 points, or 0.2 percent, to 18,448.41. The S&P 500 gave up 2.97 points, or 0.1 percent, to 2,172.47. The Nasdaq composite edged down 5.49 points, or 0.1 percent, to 5,212.20.
ANALYST TAKE: “(Yellen’s speech) is the big event that the markets anticipated, and it has the potential to create waves within the calmness that has prevailed throughout this month,” said Margaret Yang, market analyst as CMC Markets Singapore. She said that aside from less risk-taking ahead of the speech at the Jackson Hole meeting, momentum is fading along with trading volumes in the equities market. Sentiment was more fragile and susceptible to any form of shocks in the backdrop of slumping commodities, weak demand and overcapacity in emerging economies.
OIL: Benchmark U.S. crude oil shed 7 cents to $47.29 a barrel from $47.33. Brent crude, used to price oil internationally, slipped 12 cents to $49.56 a barrel.
CURRENCIES: The dollar fell to 100.51 yen after closing at 100.58 the previous day. The euro rose to $1.1289 from $1.1285. | http://urbanacitizen.com/wire/national-wire/28434/asian-stock-markets-mixed-as-investors-wait-for-fed-cue-2 | en | 2016-08-26T00:00:00 | urbanacitizen.com/5626ba714497292b4ec4011d877d2cafed3ee6b2bfb0e827e905836d1d32875c.json |

Its shares tumbled more than 13 percent in premarket trading.
The New Albany, Ohio-based company lost $13.1 million, or 19 cents per share, compared with a loss of $810,000, or 1 cent per share, a year prior. Losses, adjusted for non-recurring gains, were 25 cents per share.
The teen clothing retailer’s revenue fell 4 percent to $783.2 million.
The results failed to meet Wall Street expectations. The average estimate of 14 analysts surveyed by Zacks Investment Research was for a loss of 23 cents per share, while 10 analysts expected revenue of $788.6 million.
“As we look to the rest of the year, we now expect flagship and tourist locations will continue to weigh on the business,” said Executive Chairman Arthur Martinez, in a statement.
Still, Martinez said that the company expects to see “traction” from its investments in marketing and new products.
Abercrombie shares were down $3.06, or 13.3 percent, to $19.89 in premarket trading about an hour before the market opening. They have decreased 15 percent since the beginning of the year. The stock has risen 22 percent in the last 12 months.

Cleveland council President Kevin Kelley says the proposal has too many conditions including one that would keep all current East Cleveland council members employed.
Officials in East Cleveland are exploring the idea of being annexed by neighboring Cleveland because it has gone years without being able to pay for basic services.
East Cleveland has struggled to pay city workers, fix its streets and plow snow.
Kelley tells Cleveland.com (http://bit.ly/2bLtFLc ) that he’s still open to the idea of a merger but not the one the proposed now.

The Ohio State Troopers Association this week overwhelmingly approved a three-year contract. It would give state troopers and other represented employees raises totaling 12.5 percent over that span, plus a one-time $750 ratification payment.
The contract comes a month after union members rejected a contract offering a 13.5 percent raise over three years. Cleveland.com reports troopers will get more in raises than other state union employees over the next three years in exchange for concessions in a health program and other changes.
Ohio’s Controlling Board considers the agreement Monday.

Gerald “Jerry” DeLemus and Blaine Cooper each admitted to conspiring with others who engaged in a tense gunpoint standoff with federal Bureau of Land Management agents in April 2014 near Bundy’s property about 80 miles northeast of Las Vegas.
Both told U.S. District Judge Gloria Navarro they weren’t physically present for the standoff.
But they acknowledged interfering with the execution of federal court orders by recruiting and organizing armed gunmen to support Bundy and sons Ammon, Ryan, Mel and Dave Bundy in efforts to prevent the roundup of Bundy cattle from the scenic Gold Butte area.
Their plea deals call for sentences of six years in federal prison, although their defense attorneys can seek leniency at sentencing Dec. 1. Each also could be fined up to $500,000 and be subject to up to three years of government supervision after prison.
Cooper, 37, from Humboldt, Arizona, also pleaded guilty to assault on a federal officer.
DeLemus, 61, of Rochester, New Hampshire, arrived in Nevada hours after the confrontation. He pleaded guilty to an interstate extortion charge admitting he drove cross-country with guns with an intent to display “force and aggression” to stop the roundup.
DeLemus, a former U.S. Marine, spent weeks afterward living in a tent and organizing armed patrols near the Bundy ranch outside Bunkerville.
DeLemus was also politically active at home in New Hampshire, where his wife, Susan DeLemus, is a Republican state assemblywoman.
He stopped several times Thursday to confer with his attorney while entering his guilty pleas.
“I don’t know that I threatened anyone,” DeLemus told the judge at one point, “but I made public statements hoping it would end peacefully.”
Prosecutors characterized DeLemus and Cooper as “mid-level organizers” and leaders of the conspiracy to prevent federal agents and contract cowboys from rounding up Bundy cattle that federal officials said were trespassing on public land.
“Federal law enforcement officers must be able to engage in their official duties, including executing federal court orders, without fear of assault or losing their lives,” U.S. Attorney Daniel Bogden said in a statement after the pleas.
DeLemus and Cooper became the first among 19 defendants to take plea deals in the case in Las Vegas.
Trial for some of the remaining 17 defendants is scheduled to begin Feb. 2 on charges also including threatening a federal officer, carrying a firearm in a crime of violence, and obstruction.
Seven defendants in the Nevada case, including Cooper and Bundy’s sons Ammon and Ryan Bundy, are also among 26 people charged in Portland, Oregon, in connection with a 41-day occupation of a wildlife refuge earlier this year.
Eleven people have taken plea deals in the Oregon case, including Cooper. The Oregon trial is scheduled to begin next month. | http://urbanacitizen.com/wire/state-wire/28442/2-men-in-nevada-standoff-case-plead-guilty-in-federal-court-3 | en | 2016-08-26T00:00:00 | urbanacitizen.com/93f0ed5c06ae7596a0b36a8d478ed080abe2f0508edd2b2b6ab4b91c0a961c67.json |

7:15 p.m.
The National Weather Service says a preliminary damage survey shows the EF3 tornado that hit Kokomo had an estimated peak wind of 152 mph.
The weather service says the tornado traveled nearly 5 miles on the city’s south side Wednesday, was about 300 yards wide and lasted 10 minutes.
It says the tornado destroyed a Starbucks near the Markland Mall.
The weather service earlier had classified the tornado as an EF3, which can have peak winds of 165 mph.
___
6:15 p.m.
Wednesday’s tornado outbreak that swept Indiana came only about a week after another big August outbreak of tornadoes hit the state.
The National Weather Service said last week that eight tornadoes touched down across Indiana on Aug. 15. The previous August record was an outbreak on Aug. 9, 1969, that spawned five tornadoes.
Mike Ryan is a meteorologist with the weather service’s Indianapolis office. He says Wednesday’s outbreak could eclipse that record set only last week, if the storm tally reaches nine or more tornadoes.
As of late Thursday afternoon, weather service survey crews had confirmed that seven tornadoes hit Indiana on Wednesday. Ryan says he expects that tally to increase.
___
5:50 p.m.
The National Weather Service says at least seven tornadoes swept parts of central and northern Indiana during Wednesday’s outbreak.
Meteorologist Mike Ryan with the weather service’s Indianapolis office says five tornado touchdowns have been confirmed in central Indiana and two have been confirmed in two northeastern Indiana counties.
But he says weather service survey crews are still surveying storm damage and he expects the tornado tally to continue to rise.
One of the tornadoes that hit central Indiana was an EF3 with winds up to 165 mph that damaged and destroyed homes and business in the city of Kokomo, about 40 miles north of Indianapolis.
The weather service says a tornado that hit northeastern Indiana’s Allen County appears to have also been an EF3, although a final assessment is pending.
___
1:40 p.m.
Howard County and the city of Kokomo have only 10 tornado sirens, but a telephone and text-messaging system spread the word about dangerous storms bearing down on the central Indiana community.
WRTV-TV reports (http://bit.ly/2bCZFhp ) the emergency alert system was installed in the county after a 2013 tornado.
Before the first tornado struck Wednesday, thousands of people received telephone calls or text messages.
Howard County Commissioner Paul Wyman says “thousands upon thousands of people in Howard County” have signed up for the notifications and “it worked unbelievably well. … People were getting notifications well in advance of these tornadoes touching down.”
The National Weather Service says one tornado was an EF3 with 165 mph winds. Authorities report only 10-15 minor injuries in Howard County.
___
12:30 p.m.
Not even KISS could rock ‘n’ roll all night with tornado sirens blaring.
Frontman Gene Simmons tweeted that the band’s show in Toledo, Ohio, was stopped briefly Wednesday night during a tornado warning.
He says some people went into the arena to seek shelter until the storm passed.
While no tornadoes touched down in Toledo, there was a long line of damage across the northwestern part of the state from the storm that first hit central and northern Indiana.
About six trailers were damaged at a mobile home park near Hicksville in Ohio.
Officials in Van Wert County say at least two tornadoes touched down about 2 miles apart, tearing roofs off homes and flattening barns.
___
12:15 p.m.
Indiana Gov. Mike Pence says it is a miracle that no one was killed or badly hurt by a tornado that hit the city of Kokomo.
Pence spoke Thursday after touring a neighborhood and businesses hit by Wednesday’s tornado. The National Weather Service says it was an EF3 tornado, packing winds of up to 165 mph.
Pence also visited a Red Cross shelter where some 200 people spent the night.
He credited quick thinking and early warnings of the approaching storm for the lack of serious injuries.
Pence and U.S. Sen. Joe Donnelly were among officials who talked with residents in a neighborhood where homes were also damaged by a 2013 tornado.
Donnelly said Kokomo is a resilient, tough community and that all the residents he spoke with vowed to rebuild.
___
12:05 p.m.
The National Weather Service says it’s still unclear how many tornadoes touched down in Indiana on Wednesday.
The state’s Department of Homeland Security reported early Thursday that 12 tornadoes hit the state, but later the agency revised that number to eight.
Weather service meteorologist Joseph Nield says it’s not yet clear how many tornadoes touched down, although an EF3 tornado did strike Kokomo and an EF2 swept part of Montgomery County.
Nield says it’s likely several more tornadoes struck Indiana, but that those findings won’t come until later Thursday.
He says five separate weather service survey crews are scouring areas with storm damage in central and northern Indiana to determine if tornadoes struck there.
___
10:55 a.m.
Indiana Gov. Mike Pence has been hugging and chatting with people whose homes were destroyed or damaged when a tornado whipped through the city of Kokomo.
Donald Trump’s running mate arrived in Kokomo by helicopter to view the damage Thursday morning, a day after heavy storms spawned tornadoes across north and central Indiana.
Many trees were knocked down in the storm, and a large truck was hurled onto its side. Some homes are ruined while others were largely untouched.
Pence returned to Indiana after campaign stops in North Carolina on Wednesday. He has cancelled a campaign trip planned for Thursday.
___
8:35 a.m.
The mayor of Kokomo says crews from elsewhere in the state are coming to the central Indiana city to help restore power and clean up debris in the tornado-hit community.
Kokomo Mayor Greg Goodnight said Thursday morning that he’s grateful that no one was killed or seriously injured by the storm that struck Wednesday afternoon, damaging numerous houses, apartments and businesses.
He says about 220 people stayed overnight in a temporary shelter in Kokomo, about 40 miles north of Indianapolis.
Howard County Sheriff Steve Rogers says 10 to 15 people suffered minor injuries.
Utility companies report at least 15,000 homes and businesses remain without electricity in Howard County.
Police have restricted access to storm-damage neighborhoods, saying residents must show identification to officers before entering.
___
8:15 a.m.
Indiana’s Department of Homeland Security says a tornado outbreak produced at least 12 tornadoes.
Agency spokesman John Erickson says officials are still assessing the storm damage Thursday, but that the tally as of Wednesday night showed 12 tornadoes touched down in Adams, Allen, Blackford, Cass, Grant, Howard, Marion and Montgomery counties in northern and central Indiana.
Several of those tornadoes struck Howard County, where the south side of the city of Kokomo suffered extensive damage.
National Weather Service surveys Thursday should determine whether additional storm damage in other areas was caused by tornadoes or high winds in severe thunderstorms.
___
7:45 a.m.
Emergency officials and the Red Cross have set up shelters for victims of tornadoes that swept across central Indiana.
One shelter is at the Kokomo Event and Conference Center. The Indianapolis Star reports that about 200 people were being housed and fed at the center at 9 p.m. on Wednesday, hours after the storms moved through. Kokomo is about 50 miles north of Indianapolis.
Another shelter is at Walnut Elementary School in New Ross, northwest of Indianapolis.
The Indiana Red Cross regional headquarters in Indianapolis has a team of employees and volunteers working at an operations center.
The National Weather Service says at least eight tornadoes touched down on Wednesday causing substantial damage. Authorities say between 15 and 20 people suffered injuries but none were severe.
___
7:05 a.m.
The National Weather Service says at least seven tornadoes swept parts of central and northern Indiana during Wednesday’s outbreak.
One was an EF3 with winds up to 165 mph that damaged and destroyed homes and business in the city of Kokomo, about 40 miles north of Indianapolis.
The weather service says a tornado that hit northeastern Indiana’s Allen County appears to have also been an EF3, although a final assessment is pending.
GOP vice presidential candidate and Indiana Gov. Mike Pence plans to leave the campaign trail Thursday to assess storm damage.
The weather service says two other thunderstorms produced separate tornadoes, one in Avon west of Indianapolis and one northwest of Lafayette, which is southwest of Indianapolis.
___
This update has been corrected to show that the National Weather Service said at least seven, not eight, tornadoes hit during Wednesday’s storm. The original update relied on information from the weather service’s tally of an Aug. 15 tornado outbreak, not Wednesday’s storm.
___
9:20 p.m.
Indiana Gov. Mike Pence says he’ll tour Howard and Montgomery counties and possibly other areas Thursday to assess the storm damage.
The Republican vice presidential candidate returned to Indiana from the campaign trail Wednesday evening after the National Weather Service said several tornadoes struck the state. One that hit Kokomo has been determined to be an EF3 with 165 mph winds.
Pence says he’ll remain in the state as long as necessary to ensure people affected by the storms have the support they need. He says 200 people have checked in to a Red Cross shelter in Kokomo.
Indiana State Police spokesman Capt. David Bursten says about a dozen people were injured, but none seriously. | http://urbanacitizen.com/wire/state-wire/28492/the-latest-kokomo-ef3-tornado-had-peak-wind-of-152-mph-2 | en | 2016-08-26T00:00:00 | urbanacitizen.com/09c871ce6fa7bfa7c269fad36be605f5d4e550219ba3bbf90df5dc89a0da1e40.json |

Demardre Johnson pleaded guilty on Thursday to charges including felonious assault, resisting arrest and obstructing justice. Johnson apologized for his actions in court.
Authorities say Akron police officers pulled Johnson over in February and asked him for his driver’s license. The man told police he didn’t have one and refused an officer’s request to step out of his vehicle.
Police say when they tried to open his door, Johnson shifted into drive and took off with an officer hanging on the vehicle’s door. The SUV eventually crashed and Johnson was taken into custody.

WEWS-TV reports (http://bit.ly/2bEp6iJ ) Avon Lake’s safety committee voted Wednesday to move forward with a moratorium that allows it to hold off on granting building permits or certificates permitting the cultivation, processing or sale of the drug for six months.
The move wouldn’t ban the use of prescribed medical marijuana.
Committee Chair David Kos says they don’t want to issue any permits they could regret and the move gives them some breathing room. He says the state law was put through without a lot of input from individual municipalities.
Brooklyn and Lakewood have also adopted similar moratoriums. Those cities say they need more time to plan. North Olmsted and Sheffield Village are also considering moratoriums.

The New Albany, Ohio-based company lost $13.1 million, or 19 cents per share, compared with a loss of $810,000, or 1 cent per share, a year prior. Losses, adjusted for non-recurring gains, were 25 cents per share.
The teen clothing retailer’s revenue fell 4 percent to $783.2 million.
The results failed to meet Wall Street expectations. The average estimate of 14 analysts surveyed by Zacks Investment Research was for a loss of 23 cents per share, while 10 analysts expected revenue of $788.6 million.
“As we look to the rest of the year, we now expect flagship and tourist locations will continue to weigh on the business,” said Executive Chairman Arthur Martinez, in a statement.
Still, Martinez said that the company expects to see “traction” from its investments in marketing and new products.
Abercrombie shares have decreased 15 percent since the beginning of the year. The stock has risen 22 percent in the last 12 months.

The U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of West Virginia announced Friday that 22-year-old Bruce Lamar Griggs from Akron, Ohio, was charged in federal court with drug distribution in connection to the Aug. 15 spate of overdoses in Huntington. One man died.
An affidavit filed in court alleges that one of the victims who survived identified Griggs as the dealer, and police corroborated it with other witnesses and video surveillance in the neighborhood where the overdoses occurred.
Griggs made an initial appearance Thursday in Ohio and will be transported to West Virginia.

The latest example came in Baltimore, where a critical report on that department’s policies found that officers end up in unnecessarily violent confrontations with mentally disabled people who in many instances haven’t even committed crimes. The report cited instances of officers using a stun gun to subdue an agitated man who refused to leave a vacant building and of spraying mace to force a troubled person — said by his father to be unarmed and off his medications — out of an apartment.
Though past federal investigations have addressed the problem, the Baltimore report went a step further: It was the first time the Justice Department has explicitly found that a police department’s policies violated the Americans with Disabilities Act. The finding is intended to chart a path to what federal officials hope will be far-reaching improvements, including better training for dispatchers and officers, diversion of more people to treatment rather than jail and stronger relationships with mental health specialists.
“Through the course of our work in the last several years on this bucket of issues, we’ve seen how important it is to get at the mental health issues as early in the system as possible,” Vanita Gupta, head of the department’s Civil Rights Division, said in an interview.
Civil rights officials say the Baltimore report builds on work they’ve done in investigating the treatment of the mentally ill in various settings. In Mississippi, the Hinds County Jail in June recently agreed to better screening for mental illness and to provide individualized treatment for those with serious disabilities, and the Justice Department sued the state as a whole this month, saying it was illegally making mentally ill people go into state-run psychiatric hospitals
But it’s the work with police departments that often attracts the most attention. Even as police forces improve training and develop intervention teams to respond to individuals in the throes of a crisis, concerns remain that officers aren’t adequately equipped for the situations and are being forced to fill the void of a resource-starved mental health infrastructure. More than 14 percent of male jail inmates and 31 percent of female inmates are affected by serious mental illness, according to a July speech by Justice Department official Eve Hill, who said society has for too long relied on arrests and jail rather than treatment for the mentally ill.
“From the standpoint of police, they are somewhat frustrated because many of the people who are walking the streets and who are in need of help are not getting it,” said Chuck Wexler, executive director of the Police Executive Research Forum. “They have been out on the streets, they can’t afford medication, and so the police wind up being the only one they come in contact with.”
The Justice Department has incorporated treatment of the mentally ill into several of its wide-ranging civil rights investigations of troubled police departments.
“I think some police departments have really made it a priority and are doing quite a bit. I don’t know that that’s consistent across all the departments,” said Amy Watson, a mental health policy professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago.
A 2011 Justice Department report on Seattle criticized officers for too quickly resorting to force when encountering people with mental illness or under the influence of drugs. In Cleveland, officers were found to use stun guns against people with limited cognitive abilities, and in one case used one on a suicidal deaf man who may not have understood their commands, according to a 2014 report. Albuquerque, New Mexico officers responding to a domestic violence complaint used the same tactic on a man who had doused himself with gasoline, the Justice Department said.
Those cities have since reached court-enforceable consent decrees aimed at overhauling practices.
The Portland police department, which also came under investigation, agreed to new training and accountability measures under a settlement. A federal monitor in February found the Seattle police department was sending trained crisis intervention officers to “crisis events in the great majority of instances” and had given some level of training to all officers in the last two years. A report this month from the Seattle police found that only 1.6 percent of crisis cases reported during the past year involved any reportable use of force.
Federal officials hope for a similar resolution in Baltimore, where the Justice Department says police have provided minimal training on responding to mental health crises. Under an agreement in principle, Baltimore has pledged to work more closely with disability organizations and mental health providers.
But, Gupta said, improvements can occur only if there’s a system with resources in place to help the police.
“It’s not about casting blame on specific actors. It’s about making sure that there is adequate support for community-based mental health services in compliance with federal law,” she said.
Ray Kelly, co-director of the No Boundaries Coalition, a Baltimore advocacy group, said he didn’t believe Baltimore police have succeeded in separating law-abiding citizens from criminal suspects, “so they definitely don’t take the time to separate the mentally ill from the criminal element or the average Joe buying drugs on one of our corners.”
He said he hoped the report would foster better collaboration between police and mental health experts, so that if there’s a possibility that officers are dealing with someone who’s disabled, they “would call a professional that’s prepared to work with this instead of using aggressive manhandling tactics like they’ve used in the past.”

The Columbus Dispatch (http://bit.ly/2bIPmIC ) reports that Ohio Medicaid officials recently released the state’s second annual performance evaluations for all five managed care plans serving about 2.4 million poor and disabled Ohioans on the program.
The plans received one, two or three stars in each of five categories.
State Medicaid Director John McCarthy says the report card aims to inform consumers and provide incentives for the health plans to improve services.
The card is based on data provided by the plans and patient surveys.
Of the 3 million enrolled in tax-funded Medicaid program in the state, about 80 percent are in managed care.

Not “Her.”
Not “She.”
Not “That girl.”
It is either “Coach Syrina” or “Coach Richardson,” they were told.
Syrina Richardson, a 5-foot-3 Australian with a 7-foot-3 personality, took the opportunity to formally introduce herself to the players.
“Disrespect me and I’ll run you until you puke. Then I’ll make you do up-downs until you puke,” Richardson said matter-of-factly through her Aussie accent. “And you will never disrespect me again.”
After the players paused a brief moment to absorb that message, they gave a round of applause to the 37-year-old Brisbane native, who is a woman living in the man’s world of football and loving every minute of it.
Richardson is helping coach the McKinley defensive line this season as an intern. After experiencing football on the fringes of the sport for so many years, Richardson finds herself in the pigskin holy of holies.
Canton, Ohio, home of the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
McKinley High School football, one of the most tradition-rich programs in the country.
“Feels like heaven,” she said after a recent practice.
Her blunt opening message aside, the spunky Richardson isn’t all fire and brimstone. She works her way among the players on the practice field and chats them up casually. She is positive until you give her a reason not to be.
“She is no nonsense,” McKinley head coach Dan Reardon said. “It’s good. We’re excited about her.”
Richardson is not really trying to blaze a path here in Stark County. She seems to just want to coach a game she has grown to love and build toward a potential career in the sport she calls “gridiron.”
“A lot of people say I want to be the next Jen Welter,” Richardson said, referring to the woman who became the first female to coach in the NFL last year when the Arizona Cardinals hired her for training camp and the preseason. “No, I want to be Syrina Richardson of high school football fame. . I prefer coaching children.
“I think trying to get the kids in the right frame of mind (is rewarding), watching the coaches try to get all the kids in the mindset that when they go to college or get out into the community as adults that they have sense in their heads. Common sense tends to not be so common. With coaching, not only do you get to teach them a game, but you get to teach them values and life lessons. That’s a double win.”
Richardson met Reardon and the McKinley staff last summer during the International Federation of American Football World Championships, which were held in Canton. Richardson coached for the Australian national team.
She spent three days shadowing the McKinley staff and absorbing as much information as she could.
Richardson and Reardon stayed in contact and started talking about how great it would be to have her spend a season with the Bulldogs, kind of like how someone might say it would be great to spend a few months traveling the world or how great it would be to retire at 40, but knowing it’s probably not going to happen.
Then Reardon asked, what exactly would it take for her to be able to come over and coach?
All Richardson needed was a place to stay, she said. So Reardon offered her a room in his home’s partially finished basement and Richardson worked two jobs (with her main job being at a car dealership) to save enough money to spend the season with the Bulldogs.
“My kids lost a playroom. They were a little salty,” joked Reardon, who has four kids with his wife, Amanda. “Actually, they won’t leave her alone.”
Added Richardson, “It’s like I’m a new toy.”
Richardson’s introduction to football happened when she was 10. She watched Goldie Hawn in “Wildcats” with her dad and the movie soon was getting watched again and again. Hawn plays a track and field coach who takes the challenge to coach an inner-city high school football team in the 1986 comedy.
A love for football was born. Growing up, she tried to glean whatever information she could get about American football in a country that favors swimming, rugby and Australian rules football.
This is a woman who reenacted part of the jail scene from the football movie “The Replacements” for a drama class in junior college (earning a “B” she said).
“I usually get asked why I love the game,” Richardson said. “I’m like, are you kidding me? It’s a real-life version of chess. You literally line up your pieces, have your strategy and go. People (in Australia) say they’ve never thought of it like that. They think it’s a bunch of people just head-butting each other.”
Richardson grew up playing basketball and also bowling. As an adult, she got a chance to join a women’s football league in Australia and played until she broke her leg four years ago. That prompted her to start coaching, and she soon was setting off on a new journey that was equal parts passion and profession. It’s taken her around the world, including coaching in Germany last year for a club team.
Coaching boys can be difficult in the testosterone-fueled, macho environment of football. She spoke of a “wall” that goes up at times with males being coached by a female, a “who do you think you are?” attitude, as she put it.
In that regard, she complimented the McKinley players.
“They’ve been really good,” said Richardson, who is assisting defensive line coach Matt White. “They call me ‘sir’ every now and then, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. I get it: Someone on the coaching staff says something and you automatically say, ‘sir.’ I suppose that’s a compliment in a way that they think I’m just one of the coaches.”
McKinley’s Jordan Gardner, a 5-11, 300-pound sophomore defensive lineman, admitted it was strange at first to be coached by a woman. But Richardson’s knowledge and passion were quickly apparent.
“She brings a lot of energy to practice,” Gardner said. “When you’re down, she always picks you up. She knows what she’s talking about.”
Richardson loves to coach in a place that takes football so seriously.
She also loves that she won’t have to wake up at 3 a.m. to watch NFL games or go online to watch a college football game.
“I was trying to explain how many games she’ll have to choose from on Saturdays,” Reardon said.
Richardson aims to take what she is learning and apply it back to her club team in Australia. But her ultimate goal is to latch on with an American high school team and make a career here in the States.
Doubt her if you want. Just don’t disrespect her, or get ready to run.
“You can only be yourself,” she said. “I’m not going make myself out to be something I’m not.
“So I’ll just be the Australian coach that yells.”

Lockwood was honored with presentations from various Boy Scouts of America officials including: Tecumseh Council Assistant Council Commissioner Bob Hemmerly, Troop 11 Committee Chairman David Greenlee, and Mike Meyers, Troop 11 Scoutmaster. Others participating were: Mikey Meyers, Troop 11 Senior Patrol Leader, incoming Scoutmaster Tony Brown, and pianist Dr. Janet Ebert, Bullskin Trail Committee Member.
According to Scoutmaster Meyers, Lockwood “has shown unprecedented commitment to the scouting program by his dedication to his pack, his troop, his district and his council.”
Noting that Lockwood’s scouting service exceeds expectations and is completed with cheerful service, Meyers continued, “He is a member of the Order of the Arrow, has been a den chief 4 years, attended national Youth Leadership Training, staffed almost all Cub Scout events at Camp Birch and Boy Scout summer camp. He has accumulated over 365 days of camping experience.”
The new Eagle presented his mother and grandmother with Eagle pins, and spoke of his work in scouting. His Eagle project, which involved leadership with other scouts, was building a fire pit at Champaign County YMCA Camp Shiffer.
Troop 11, member of Boy Scouts Tecumseh Council and Bullskin Trail District, is sponsored by First Presbyterian Church of Urbana as the Troop Chartering Organization.

In a press release, Capt. David A. Rapp states on Aug. 24, a county resident was approached by two white male subjects claiming that had a good deal for asphalt.
The neighbor observed the subjects and went over to inquire what the subjects were doing. Before any money was exchanged, the subjects left the area.
The company’s business card was obtained and it was noted that the card did not contain a name of the person or business address.
“Usually how the scam works is that a man will approach the home owner stating that he has a good deal for asphalt from a left over job,” Rapp stated. “This subject will state that the job will cost over $1,000 to pave the driveway. After this job has been started the subjects will claim that there was not enough asphalt to finish the job and the price will go up several thousand of dollars to complete the work.”
If this has happened to you, the sheriff’s office is asking you to call them at (937) 484-6091. | http://urbanacitizen.com/news/28892/sheriffs-office-warning-residents-of-asphalt-scam | en | 2016-08-29T00:00:00 | urbanacitizen.com/eb13f6d24f5fe52371d73ee056fe1d7ca01c47272aa1f72b466107297dc2e769.json |
