Family af-fair: County fairs promise summer of wholesome entertainment
For hundreds of thousands across northwest Ohio and surrounding regions, county fairs are best spent with loved ones. “Fairs are your annual reunion,” Darryl Diamond, manager of the Monroe County Fair said. “It’s an opportunity for families and friends to gather, eat the food, see their grandkids and their kids showing animals. It’s like a family tradition.” From July to September, a range of fairs take place in the areas surrounding Toledo, spanning urban to rural counties, with attendance ranging from 10,000 to 100,000 fairgoers. Many of the area’s county fairs have been operational for well over a century. “When fairs first started over 100 years ago, it was a way for the community to come together as a whole and highlight what has been going on in the community for the year,” said Shane Warner, president of the Lucas County Agricultural Society which oversees the Lucas County Fair. “That’s what we’re really trying to get back to.”

FBI launches campaign encouraging residents to help prevent mass violence
CLEVELAND — Mass shooters don’t just “snap” one day, said Brad Hentschel, a supervisory special agent in the FBI’s Behavioral Analysis Unit. Often, perpetrators of mass violence show signs that indicate they might be intending to do others harm, either by making jokes about violent plans or repeating fantasies about committing violent acts. “We’ve seen time and again that there are noticeable, observable behaviors,” Mr. Hentschel said. “Recognizing and reporting the warning signs of someone thinking about and preparing for violence can be lifesaving.” To encourage residents to report individuals who are exhibiting concerning behavior that could lead to instances of mass violence, the FBI Cleveland Division and the agency’s Behavioral Analysis Unit launched its Prevent Mass Violence campaign.

Community vision carries sculpture park through 20-year evolution in Gibsonburg
Gibsonburg is on the way to nowhere ... except Gibsonburg. Vehicles do not drive through the northwest Ohio village to get to somewhere else. It is its own destination. Countyline grain elevators dominate the village's skyline just as the Willis Tower, once called the Sears Tower, reigns over Chicago. That city of 2.6 million may have a rowdy Navy Pier but the 2.4 thousand people in Gibsonburg have a sculpture park that just won't quit. “You have to be going to Gibsonburg to get to Gibsonburg,” said James Havens, from his sculpture studio set along a quarry. Metal images dot the grounds as a mini-version of Sculpture in the Village, created in 2005 at Williams Park. In fact, his pieces served as the inspiration for that public space.

'He's been stolen': Family finds support dealing with dad's dementia
While many fondly reminisce about their father teaching them to drive, quite the opposite, high school Principal Taylor Gerhardt recently reflected on the day he had to tell his dad he could no longer drive. “He would get in his truck and just go, and no one knew where he was,” Mr. Gerhardt said of his dad, Dan, 77, who was diagnosed with dementia. One of the most difficult experiences he had with his dad was convincing him to relinquish his driving privileges. “I made him come with me to a licensed, trained individual through the licensing bureau. There's a way to get a diagnosis as far as if you are able to drive,” he said. “He always seemed to listen to the advice of officials and really, this was the only way we could get Dad to not sneak the car keys and get out.”
