A 14-year-old boy from Columbus is the first child in Ohio to die of swine flu, health officials said yesterday. If area parents and children weren't worried about H1N1 before now, the death should drive home just how serious a threat this virus is, officials said. Jon Fowler, an eighth grader at Holy Spirit School in Whitehall, died Thursday at Nationwide Children's Hospital. His is the second death in Columbus attributed to the H1N1 virus.
A 35-year-old employee of the Toledo-Lucas County Health Department yesterday became the first person in the county to receive the swine flu vaccine. Sharhonda Royster, a medical assistant, was vaccinated by Health Commissioner David Grossman during a news conference at the health department. The vaccine was in the form of a nasal mist that Ms. Royster said tingled and felt cold in her nostrils.
A federal grand jury has indicted a Sylvania Township man who was arrested last month on child pornography-related charges. Shawn M. Lennard, 29, was indicted this week on charges relating to the production, receipt, and possession of child pornography. The indictment said that between Aug. 25 and Sept. 5, Mr. Lennard induced a boy to engage in sexually explicit conduct. The purpose was to produce visual depictions of the alleged conduct. The indictment charges the man possessed child pornography that was shipped in interstate commerce.
A late-night disagreement between two men in a bar becomes a stare-down. One side throws fists, and a brief brawl breaks out. Customers scatter. Tables are overturned. Friends on the sidelines straighten their postures and walk tough. Others grab their coats and head for the door. Some physical commotion is not uncommon at evening establishments where alcohol is served.
Fight at West Toledo bar
A University of Toledo-area business scrapped a plan to deliver beer to customers before it got started. The Oasis at Dorr Street and Secor Road planned to kick off its beer delivery program at 9 p.m. Thursday, but just hours before, the phone began ringing off the hook with neighborhood organizations and others voicing strong opposition against it, said Mo Dari, a co-owner of the Cottage Inn Pizza & Grill at The Oasis. "We just pulled the plug on it before it even got started," he said. The business wouldn't have been the first in Toledo to offer the service, and customers had requested The Oasis add it too, Mr. Dari said.
When Jerry Batt left Huntington Insurance in September, 2008, a Columbus business publication described him as the architect of a sales strategy that propelled the firm's parent company to the nation's top 20 banking companies in insurance sales. But one month later, lawyers for the owner, Huntington Bancshares Inc., were not in a congratulatory mood as they entered a courtroom in Lucas County Common Pleas Court.
