'We must comply': Maumee mayor tells crowd options are limited to deal with EPA issues
Maumee Mayor Jim MacDonald is caught between the state and his constituents. The Ohio Environmental Protection Agency has issued several findings and mandates after the city dumped millions of gallons of illegal raw sewage into the Maumee River for 25 years, he said. One of the solutions is a recently enacted sewer inspection ordinance that has been hugely expensive for some Maumee residents selling their homes. “To be clear, the choices for us are limited. I have to be brutally honest,” Mayor MacDonald said at a Tuesday informational meeting. “We must comply with what's being asked of us, and try to fix what we can.” The mayor held the community meeting to discuss the ordinance, which requires a sanitary sewer inspection on private properties listed for sale. About 150 people filled the council chamber, with the overflow crowd watching the live stream at the adjacent police station.

Trial starts for man charged with death of girlfriend's toddler son
Police and rescue officers who responded to a Sylvania Township home where a dying 3-year-old child was found after his mother’s boyfriend called 911 were immediately skeptical of the boyfriend’s explanation for the child’s condition, testimony Tuesday at the start of the boyfriend’s murder trial showed. But Kurt Bruderly, the lawyer for defendant Michael Kitto, said his client is unwavering in his assertion that the death of Declan Hill, 3, was indeed the result of the boy hitting his head on the floor after crashing into the end of a door while running through the house. Mr. Kitto could be heard giving that explanation several times to police in a distraught voice on body camera video recorded by Kevin Pelwecki, a Sylvania Township police officer who was the second officer to arrive at the Oct. 6, 2022 scene in the 3400 block of King Road. But Officer Pelwecki was then recorded as telling arriving detectives “it wasn’t a great explanation” because “kids are more resilient than that.”
