'Above 1,500 degrees': Fireworks laws in Ohio designed to protect children this July 4
Fireworks caused $700,000 in damages last year
Thousands of children will be rushed to the emergency room this Independence Day because of fireworks injuries.
Fireworks are legal to launch in Ohio during Fourth of July celebrations, but only under specific guidelines and on certain days, according to the state fire marshal's office.
"Even sparklers can cause serious injuries if not handled correctly," Anita Metheny of the fire marshal's office said. "Always supervise their use or consider safer alternatives like glow sticks, especially for children."

Return of the ice cream shop chili dog
Something great that I ate
After purchasing their ice cream shop on a whim in 2023, a year later Kari and Kip Krupp think they have captured the classic taste of coney sauce and are thrilled with the growth of the Dockside Dairy.
Dockside Dairy is a quick food and ice cream shop on Catawba Island near the Miller Ferry.
âThis will be our first full season. The building and the ice cream shop have been here since the 1950s. Everybody knows it. It was started by Coach Cook. He was a local football coach and people love to talk about Coach Cook. We went back to the classic coney dogs and chicken sandwiches. Thatâs our food base,â Kari Krupp said. âWe sell a lot of hot dogs and coney dogs here. We have a lot of people who take the ferry who stop. Itâs definitely a staple for a lot of people, a must stop in the summer.â
I had their coney dog, and it it measures up!
The onion rings were also great. I spoke with Kip about the wonders of fried vegetables, especially onions, and realized that I had an expert at the other end of that picnic table.
Dockside Dairy is at 4261 NW Catawba Road, Port Clinton.
