CINCINNATI Mayor: Streetcar ride limit an option Mayor John Cranley says if streetcar supporters meet operating costs it might mean only using it on weekends and for special events. Cranley says time for streetcar backers to make good on their promises and come up with ideas for paying the es timated annual $3.8 million or the streetcar might end up in a garage most of the time like one of those gigantic gas guzzlers you to drive. no obligation that we have to run it on a certain level of Cranley told WLW talk-show host Bill Cunningham during a 15-minute interview Friday.
if it end up having a lot of ridership, we can just reduce the rides on it. we just do it on the weekends or maybe we just do it for days when something going on a Reds game, a Bengals game, that kind of The mayor also suggested: Raising fees for residential parking permits in Over-the-Rhine and putting in hundreds of new parking meters. Putting the streetcar up to any advertiser willing to sponsor it. Streetcar supporters had hoped to pay the operating cost for the two years with a $5 million federal grant, but the grant went up in smoke. They said private donors with deep pockets would help, and the Haile Foundation has made a generous pledge of $9 million ($900,000 per year for 10 years), but the only one.
And because it took $45 million in federal funds, the city is committed to run the streetcar for 25 years. The streetcar will run through Downtown and Over-the-Rhine on a 3.6- mile track. WHITEWATER TWP. Boy who fell in river still missing Crews were back on the Great Miami River in Whitewater Twp. on Wednesday searching for a missing 8-year-old boy who fell in the river Monday.
Hamilton County emergency crews have been searching for Bryan Nolasco Morales in the river along US 50, between US 128 and Kilby Road, since about 4 p.m. Monday. Sonar had an un object at the bottom of the river Tuesday afternoon before the search was called Harrison Fire Chief William Hursong said search dogs on one spot in the river real He said sonar later showed signs of an object near the area where the Great Miami and Whitewater rivers meet, close to where the boy was last seen. Fog delayed emergency crews from getting back in the water Wednesday morning, but boats were lowered into the river around 11 a.m. to continue the search.
Crews have been working recovery since Monday. searched on land, searched on water, searched in the Whitewater Township Assistant Fire Chief Mike Sie said Monday night. this point, we have not located the More than 70 people and eight agencies have helped comb the river. Deputies also used a helicopter and seven boats in the search. said the child was with his family at the mouth of the river when he fell into the water and never resurfaced.
Hursong said Morales and his family gained access to the river by walking underneath a railroad trestle. Pockets of deep and shallow water in some areas have made it for large boats with sonar equipment to maneuver, said. Heavy rainfall during search means water levels in the Great Miami can go from shallow to neck-deep without notice. A rescue boat capsized and sunk at about 6 p.m. Tuesday, tossing four members of the search crew into the water.
All four crew members are OK, authorities said, but the spill set them back a day. COMPILED BY OUR NEWS PARTNER WCPO 9 ON YOUR SIDE. LOCAL STATE By Randy Ludlow The Columbus Dispatch COLUMBUS Judge William H. Harsha says the idea was born out of an appeals court session in Marietta where an emotional man was pleading his case. While not making threats, the disheveled man acting as his own lawyer seemed aggressive, on the verge of hysteria and, perhaps, little opened our eyes again.
Some of our courthouses do not have said Harsha, one of four judges on the Ohio Fourth District Court of Appeals. In an apparent for an appeals court, the judges last week authorized themselves to carry concealed handguns both in and outside the 14 county courthouses where they conduct their sessions. The order exempts the judges from obtaining training and a concealed-carry permit. State law already allows judges, prosecutors, and law enforcement to be armed inside courthouses. Harsha, a competitive shooter and former Pickaway County prosecutor who has served on the appeals court for 26 years, probably will pack one of his handguns to ensure his safety.
probabilities of an occurrence, in reality, are pretty low, but the impact if it happens is Harsha said. Ohio Supreme Court and Ohio Judicial Conference knew of no similar orders authorizing a group of judges to carry handguns the job. possible individual judges have authorized them selves to carry guns outside work. In a 2011 legal article, Lake County Common Pleas Court Judge Eugene A. Lucci suggested that judges should be armed at all times and have legal authority to carry guns.
threat does not magically evaporate when the judge removes the robe and walks out the door of the he wrote. Officials recalled only one instance in recent years where a judge was assaulted due to his rulings while off the job. got beat up pretty said Mark Schweikert, director of the Ohio Judicial Conference. The appellate order of last week requires its four judges to secretly notify the county sheriff when they plan to show up for work with a gun. Judges say they need gun permits GUNNESON, Octavie B.
