Forecasters say more snow headed for Ohio
2010-02-08
|
| Ohioans had better keep the snow shovels handy. As crews work to clear roads and restore power in areas where a foot of snow fell Friday and Saturday, forecasters say another winter storm is coming that could leave the state with another deep coating of white. The National Weather Service has put most Ohio counties under a winter storm watch. Expected snowfall totals through Wednesday range from up to six inches in Cincinnati to as much as a foot in Toledo, Cleveland and Youngstown.... |

He says the team takes advice on such health matters from the National Basketball Association and the International Association of Assembly... |

Justice served, says sister of slain Ohio man
2010-02-04
|
| The sister of a convenience store owner slain in a 1994 shooting says the execution of her brother's killer should serve as a lesson to young people about what not to do. Terri Rasul said Thursday that the lethal injection of Mark Brown brought justice for the death of her brother Isam Salman and called it a sad day. She watched the execution holding a photograph of a man and woman but declined to say who they were. The 37-year-old Brown was pronounced dead by lethal injection at 10:49... |

Ohio catching up on sending out state tax booklets
2010-02-03
|
| After a holdup caused by a budget battle, officials say most of this year's Ohio tax information booklets should be distributed by early next week. Printing of about 1.8 million booklets was slowed three weeks as the Ohio Legislature debated whether to put off a scheduled tax cut, a dispute that created uncertainty over the tax rates for 2009. In a December compromise, the Legislature finally agreed to the tax cut delay supported by Democrats and Governor Ted Strickland. Ohio Department... |

2010-02-03

Voters on Tuesday defeated a bond issue request that would have paid for the project. The vote count was 933 against the issue and 809 in favor of it. Meantime, voters in the Columbia Local School District split on a pair of issues on Tuesday. Approved was a renewal levy but shot down a continuous permanent improvement levy. |

Investigator: Evidence shows Demjanjuk at Sobibor
2010-02-02
|
| A German investigator testifying at John Demjanjuk's trial says evidence links the former Ohio autoworker to the Nazis' Sobibor Nazi death camp. Thomas Walther, who led the investigation that prompted Germany to prosecute Demjanjuk, on Tuesday presented papers that Demjanjuk filled out for refugee and immigration purposes in the late 1940s and early 1950s in which he said he was a farmer in Sobibor, Poland. Walter says Demjanjuk later told investigators that he lied and chose a Polish... |

County's foreclosure filings soar to new heights
2010-02-02
|
| 2009 brought with it to Lorain County a new record high for mortgage foreclosure filings with 2,402. That tops the old mark set in 2007 by 148. And, it's 168 more filings than the county recorded in 2008. In fact, with the exception of 2008's decline of 18 from '07, every other year in the first decade of this century saw the county's foreclosure numbers grow. In 2000 the number of foreclosure filings was 778. Seems like a drop in the bucket today. |

2010-02-01
