Boys & Girls Clubs of Northeast Ohio slashes nearly half its after-school programs after funding cuts
The Boys and Girls Clubs of Northeast Ohio will only be running 27 after-school programs in the new school year, down from the 49 the organization had last year. The nonprofit said Thursday despite raising almost $700,000 this year, it was unable to get enough funding to offset the loss of state funding and federal pandemic-relief funds administered by school districts. The Ohio Legislature in its biennial budget provided about $7.5 million in Temporary Assistance to Needy Families funds to the clubs statewide in the last fiscal year, but none in the current year's budget, an Ohio Department of Job and Family Services spokesperson said.

People of the Scioto Renaissance: April Deacon
While there are still missions to be accomplished and hurdles to leap in the greater Portsmouth area, there is massive progress being made all over by everyday people who are either providing a service, volunteering, serving in office, or donating. We frequently hear that we are in a renaissance, as new developments continue to pop up, new events are added to the calendar, and progress is made. But why? These things don’t manifest themselves. In a weekly column, for one year, I plan on writing about a different member of the community who strives to make this renaissance go. I’ll be highlighting business owners, volunteers, faith-based leaders, professionals, and volunteers.

First Alert Weather | Back To Deep-Summer Heat
HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) - It seems like such a faded memory all of a sudden that last week started many days in the “chilly” 40s. Though this morning began with the more comfortable 60s, we’ll be quickly heating up in this broad sunshine. Crossing the 90°-mark by lunchtime, we’ll end up in the mid-90s almost region-wide this afternoon. This will be more difficult to take these days considering the routine of afternoon events and reduced access to public pools and splash parks. We’ll stay in the 80s well past sunset, only eventually cooling down to the 60s tomorrow morning.
