Toledo, OH – Stephen Ward knows what it means to grow up without a father in the home. At the age of 32 he has endured a lifetime of circumstances. Faced with adversity throughout his childhood, he has overcame insurmountable odds. As a Pittsburgh native, he grew up in a single-parent home, in a poverty stricken neighborhood.

testimony and deliberation in which I have played an active role have

the Ohio House value our citizens' access to health care and will go to
Here's the rest of the Trevor Casey story. It seems that I was only partially right - 14 year old Trevor decided to get high on pot and run his smart mouth to the Toledo Police, with predictable results. Here's the link to the story in the Toledo Blade:

You know, I'm not a big fan of the Toledo Police, but so far I can't fault them for this one. Trevor got what he deserved, and the real crime is that the city will have to defend itself against a frivolous lawsuit.

Ex-radio host facing April 29 jury trial for assault charge
Troy Neff behind bars! Who would have thought...
A trial date has been set for a former radio host who was involved in a December road-rage incident.
Troy Neff, 40, of Curtice is charged with assault, a first-degree misdemeanor, for the fight in which he was stabbed by a Tennessee man.
A jury trial was set for April 29 after a plea agreement could not be reached Thursday between Mr. Neff's attorney, Drew Griffith, and William Connelly, Jr., a Wood County assistant prosecutor.
WOOD COUNTY, OH - Felony charges against a Tennessee man accused of stabbing Toledo radio personality Troy Neff during a road rage incident in December have been dropped.
Last week the case against Jeffrey T. Hardeman, 42, was dismissed after the Wood County grand jury failed to return formal indictment against the Knoxville, Tenn., man.

TOLEDO,Ohio – When the city's water commissioner, Willie Perryman, Jr., suddenly retired on Sept. 23 from his $65,000-a-year job, there was little surprise at City Hall.
Perhaps Mayor Carty Finkbeiner and his top aides, Tom Kroma and Robert Reinbolt, encouraged him to leave. Or maybe Perryman, the longtime pastor at Jerusalem Baptist Church on Dorr Street, had had enough after a tumultuous six weeks.
I didn't realize how cutting edge I was, how "au courant", until I ran across this article in Newsweek. Grampas of the world, unite! We have nothing to lose but our fuddy-duddy reputations. There may be snow on the roof, but there's a fire in the furnace.
