Cleveland Weather: Rain, then snow showers

Written By kolimtiga on Kamis, 28 Februari 2013 | 00.38

The large storm system that wrecked havoc across the middle of the country is now moving in our direction, bringing with it big weather changes. 

We've already seen rain showers over the past two days because of this storm system, but now snow showers are likely as we head through the afternoon and evening.

So far, its seems we will not get any "major" snow, but a dusting to about 3 inches of snow is possible. The snowfall totals forecast depends heavily on how soon we cool into the low 30s, below freezing. Most of the afternoon will remain in the mid and upper 30s, limiting the amount of snow that can form and stick to the ground.

With whatever may happen, we will keep you up-to-date with the latest weather forecast information.

Get ready for changing weather through the day, but still enjoy it.

This afternoon: Rain showers changing to snow showers. A rain/snow mix at times. Becoming breezy. Cooling from the 40s into the 30s. Snow totals 1-3 inches...Most areas not expected to exceed 1". Higher terrain areas could likely receive up to 3 inches of snow.

Thursday: Windy with scattered snow showers.  Limited snowfall accumulations. Mid 30s.

Friday: Mostly cloudy with a few flurries. Low 30s.

Saturday: Partly cloudy with a flurries possible. Low 20s.

Sunday:  Partly sunny. Flurries. Low 20s.

Monday:  Partly cloudy. Flurries. Upper 20s.

Pope Benedict XVI in final address: 'Pray for me'

ROME -- More than 100,000 pilgrims gathered in St. Peter's Square on Wednesday to cheer as Pope Benedict XVI gave his final general audience before making history by being the first pope to resign office since the Middle Ages.

Addressing the crowd where many toted banners saying "Grazie!" ("Thank you!") the pope said, "I'd like to thank everybody for the help I have received." He said that he has experienced both joyful and difficult moments as pope.

"My heart is open to the world," Benedict said. "I will continue to accompany the church with my prayers.

"I am asking each of you to pray for me," he said.

He said he had "serene trust in God's will" in making the decision to leave not for his own good but for the good of the church, and he thanked the faithful for understanding his decision to resign.

Although he was known during his papacy as a shy scholar, Benedict appeared warmed by the massive crowds, kissing and blessing children on his final lap around the sunny square, while adults cheered and cardinals wept.

But there was an undertone of the difficulties of the papacy, even amid the celebratory moments. Benedict leaves the papacy with a fresh wave of controversial revelations swirling, threatening to leave a mark on Benedict's eight-year term and adding to the challenges to be faced by the next pope.

Whoever succeeds him, Benedict said Wednesday, "will no longer have any privacy. He will belong forever and totally to everyone and to all the church."

On Tuesday, the Vatican said Benedict would in retirement continue to wear the white cassock of the papacy and be called "emeritus pope" or "Your Holiness," raising questions about the peculiar situation soon to confront the church: having a reigning and a retired pope, living side-by-side.

The Vatican says it foresees no problems and Benedict has said he will pray and be "hidden to the world."

Pope Benedict XVI officially steps down Thursday at 8:00 p.m. local time. The date for the conclave, the process by which the next pope will be selected, has not yet been announced.

Chardon: Parents of shooting victims sue TJ Lane

PAINESVILLE - On the one-year anniversary of their child's death, the parents of three students fatally shot at Chardon High School filed suit today against the gunman, T.J. Lane, and his family.

In a wrongful death lawsuit filed in Lake County Common Pleas Court, the parents accused Lane's parents, maternal grandparents and an uncle of negligently failing to supervise and control Lane, which "facilitated, encouraged and/or allowed" the shooting to occur. 

They "knew or should have known that their negligent actions and omissions would result in severe physical  and emotional injuries" to Daniel Parmertor, Russell King, Jr. and Demetrius Hewlin, the lawsuit alleged.

Last December, T.J. Lane's family testified in a pretrial hearing that they couldn't believe he would have done such a thing.

"Not for a minute did I believe it was T.J.," Sarah Nolan, his mother, testified in Geauga County Common Pleas Court, according to the Plain Dealer. "Honestly, I thought he was being wrongly accused."

T.J. Lane pleaded guilty yesterday to the three murders as well as two counts of attempted aggravated murder and one count of felonious assault as part of a plea deal that may result in him being locked up for the rest of his life.

The lawsuit names as defendants:

• T.J. Lane, a student at Lake Academy in Willoughby who shot and killed the three while changing buses at Chardon High School;

• his parents, Thomas Lane, Jr. and Sarah Nolan;

•his maternal grandparents, Jack and Carole Nolan, who were the custodial guardians of T.J. Lane at the time of the shooting; and

•his uncle, John Bruening, who owned the .22-caliber handgun that T.J. Lane used in the shooting.

The families of the victims each filed claims against T.J. Lane's relatives for wrongful death, negligent supervision and statutory provisions that make parents liable for willful and malicious assaults by their children.

The families are seeking sums in excess of $25,000, which is the minimum required to file a lawsuit in Common Pleas Court.

Akron: Craigslist trial starts second day

AKRON -- The trial of Richard Beasley, the man who prosecutors say used phony Craigslist ads to lure murder victims, starts its second day.

Summit County Judge Lynne Callahan began the trial Monday afternoon after completing jury selection earlier in the day.

Beasley, 53, is facing murder charges, among many others. Three men were killed and a fourth man was wounded. Scott Davis escaped and alerted authorities in 2011.

Davis is testifying Tuesday morning as to how he found the Craigslist job, communicating with a man named 'Jack.'

Prosecutors argue Beasley placed that ad the victims to a farm hand job in Caldwell, Ohio.

The state began its testimony Tuesday. A physician, Dr. Michelle Moreno of Akron, testified that a man known as Ralph Geiger visited the Akron Community Resources Clinic twice requesting pain medicines in September of 2011.

Dr. Moreno said she felt the man had dyed his hair and beard.

Alex Hartke testified that he was a co-worker of 'Geiger' during the fall of 2011 at Waltco Lift Company. He identified the man he knew as 'Geiger' as Richard Beasley.

Lois Hood also testified. She's the wife of Jerry 'Country' Hood, a friend of Beasley's from the Brother's Motorcycle Club. The Hoods own farm property in Caldwell, Ohio, where the bodies of two victims were found.

Jeff Shockling testified to his experience. Shockling called authorities after Scott Davis, the victim who got away, arrived at his mother's home asking for help. He describes Davis as bloodied, scared and nervous.

Beasley could face the death penalty if convicted. His teenage co-defendant Brogan Rafferty, too young to face the death penalty, already was convicted and sentenced to life in prison without chance of parole.

The trial is expected to last up to six weeks.

TJ Lane pleads guilty in Chardon school shooting

CHARDON -- T.J. Lane has entered guilty pleas to six charges in the Chardon High School shootings last February.

Lane pleaded guilty to three counts of aggravated murder, two counts of attempted murder and one count of felonious assault.  He also pleaded guilty to a firearm specification on each count.

He could now face life in prison without parole. 

Judge David Fuhry has set sentencing for March 19 at 9:30 a.m.

Lane's plea comes one-day before the one-year mark of the shootings that left Demetrius Hewlin, Daniel Parmertor and Russell King Jr. dead.  Nick Walczak, Nate Mueller and Joy Rickers were wounded in the shootings but survived.

The plea came after extensive questioning by the judge in which Lane said he understood his actions and that he could remain in prison until his death if so sentenced.

How automatic federal budget cuts may impact Ohio

Written By kolimtiga on Selasa, 26 Februari 2013 | 00.38

TOLEDO -- The White House says Ohio's schools and defense industry would see reduced funding if automatic cuts to the federal budget take effect this week.

The Obama administration says numbers compiled from federal agencies and its own budget office cover only cuts from March to September.

Some states may be able to move money around to deal with the cuts.

The White House says Ohio would lose $25 million for primary and secondary education funding. It also would lose $22 million for education programs for children with disabilities.

It also says about 26,000 civilian defense department employees would be furloughed and that there would be less money for early education services and programs that pay for meals for seniors.

Below is a breakdown of the impacts for Ohio from whitehouse.gov:

OHIO IMPACTS
If sequestration were to take effect, some examples of the impacts on Ohio this year alone are:

Teachers and Schools: Ohio will lose approximately $25.1 million in funding for primary and secondary education, putting around 350 teacher and aide jobs at risk. In addition about 34,000
fewer students would be served and approximately 100 fewer schools would receive funding.

Education for Children with Disabilities: In addition, Ohio will lose approximately $22 million in funds for about 270 teachers, aides, and staff who help children with disabilities.

Work-Study Jobs: Around 3,320 fewer low income students in Ohio would receive aid to help them finance the costs of college and around 1,450 fewer students will get work-study jobs that
help them pay for college.

Head Start: Head Start and Early Head Start services would be eliminated for approximately 2,500 children in Ohio, reducing access to critical early education.

Protections for Clean Air and Clean Water: Ohio would lose about $6,865,000 in environmental funding to ensure clean water and air quality, as well as prevent pollution from pesticides and
hazardous waste. In addition, Ohio could lose another $981,000 in grants for fish and wildlife protection.

Military Readiness: In Ohio, approximately 26,000 civilian Department of Defense employees would be furloughed, reducing gross pay by around $161.4 million in total.

Army: Base operation funding would be cut by about $1.9 million in Ohio.

Air Force: Funding for Air Force operations in Ohio would be cut by about $3 million.

Law Enforcement and Public Safety Funds for Crime Prevention and Prosecution: Ohio will lose about $455,000 in Justice Assistance Grants that support law enforcement, prosecution and
courts, crime prevention and education, corrections and community corrections, drug treatment and enforcement, and crime victim and witness initiatives.

Job Search Assistance to Help those in Ohio find Employment and Training: Ohio will lose about $1,786,000 in funding for job search assistance, referral, and placement, meaning around
57,100 fewer people will get the help and skills they need to find employment.

Child Care: Up to 800 disadvantaged and vulnerable children could lose access to child care, which is also essential for working parents to hold down a job.

Vaccines for Children: In Ohio around 5,040 fewer children will receive vaccines for diseases such as measles, mumps, rubella, tetanus, whooping cough, influenza, and Hepatitis B due to
reduced funding for vaccinations of about $344,000.

Public Health: Ohio will lose approximately $1,102,000 in funds to help upgrade its ability to respond to public health threats including infectious diseases, natural disasters, and biological,
chemical, nuclear, and radiological events. In addition, Ohio will lose about $3,310,000 in grants to help prevent and treat substance abuse, resulting in around 4200 fewer admissions to substance
abuse programs. And the Ohio State Department of Health will lose about $302,000 resulting in around 7,600 fewer HIV tests.

STOP Violence Against Women Program: Ohio could lose up to $245,000 in funds that provide services to victims of domestic violence, resulting in up to 900 fewer victims being served.

Nutrition Assistance for Seniors: Ohio would lose approximately $823,000 in funds that provide meals for seniors.

NATIONWIDE IMPACTS
The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) now calculates that sequestration will require an annual reduction of roughly 5 percent for nondefense programs and roughly 8 percent for defense programs.

However, given that these cuts must be achieved over only seven months instead of 12, the effective percentage reductions will be approximately 9 percent for nondefense programs and 13 percent for defense programs. These large and arbitrary cuts will have severe impacts across the government.

Cuts to education: Our ability to teach our kids the skills they'll need for the jobs of the future would be put at risk. 70,000 young children would lose access to Head Start, 10,000 teacher
jobs would be put at risk, and funding for up to 7,200 special education teachers, aides, and staff could be cut.

Cuts to small business: Small businesses create two-thirds of all new jobs in America. Instead of helping small businesses expand and hire, the automatic cuts would reduce loan guarantees
to small businesses by up to approximately $900 million.

Cuts to food safety: Outbreaks of foodborne illness are a serious threat to families and public health. If sequestration takes effect, up to 2,100 fewer food inspections could occur, putting
families at risk and costing billions in lost food production.

Cuts to research and innovation: To compete for the jobs of the future and ensure that the next breakthroughs to find cures for critical diseases are developed right here in America, we
need to continue to lead the world in research and innovation. Most Americans with chronic diseases don't have a day to lose, but under sequestration progress towards cures would be
delayed and several thousand researchers could lose their jobs. Up to 12,000 scientists and students would also be impacted.

Cuts to mental health: If sequestration takes effect, up to 373,000 seriously mentally ill adults and seriously emotionally disturbed children could go untreated. This would likely lead to
increased hospitalizations, involvement in the criminal justice system, and homelessness for these individuals.

More detailed explanations of these cuts as well as additional areas that will be impacted include:

Security and Safety

FBI and other law enforcement - The FBI and other law enforcement entities would see a reduction in capacity equivalent to more than 1,000 Federal agents. This loss of agents would
significantly impact our ability to combat violent crime, pursue financial crimes, secure our borders, and protect national security.

Customs and border patrol - U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) would not be able to maintain current staffing levels of border patrol agents and CBP officers as mandated by Congress.
CBP would have to reduce its work hours by the equivalent of over 5,000 border patrol agents and the equivalent of over 2,750 CBP officers.

Funding and staffing reductions would increase wait
times at airports, weaken security between land ports of entry, limit CBP's ability to collect revenue owed to the Federal government, and slow screening and entry for those traveling into the United States.

At the major gateway airports, average wait times could increase by 30-50 percent. At the nation's busiest airports, like Newark, JFK, LAX, and Chicago O'Hare, peak wait times could grow to over 4 hours or more. On the southwest land border, our biggest ports of entry in California and Texas could face wait times of 5 hours or more during peak holiday weekends and travel periods.

And at our seaports, delays in container examinations could increase from 2-3 days to 4-5 days, resulting in congestion at terminals, increased transaction costs to the trade community, and reduced availability of consumer goods and raw materials critical to our economy.

Aviation safety - The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) would be forced to undergo a funding cut of more than $600 million. This action would force the FAA to undergo an immediate
retrenchment of core functions by reducing operating costs and eliminating or reducing services to various segments of the flying community. A vast majority of FAA's nearly 47,000 employees
would be furloughed for approximately one day per pay period, with a maximum of two days per pay period. The furlough of a large number of air traffic controllers and technicians would require
a reduction in air traffic to a level that could be safely managed by the remaining staff, resulting in slower air traffic in major cities, as well as delays and disruptions across the country during the
critical summer travel season.

Aviation security - The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) would reduce its frontline workforce, which would substantially increase passenger wait times at airport security checkpoints.
TSA would need to initiate a hiring freeze for all transportation security officer positions in March, eliminate overtime, and furlough its 50,000 officers for up to seven days.

Emergency responders - FEMA would need to reduce funding for State and local grants that support firefighter positions and State and local emergency management personnel, hampering our
ability to respond to natural disasters like Hurricane Sandy and other emergencies.

Research and Innovation

NIH research - The National Institutes of Health (NIH) would be forced to delay or halt vital scientific projects and make hundreds of fewer research awards. Since each research award
supports up to seven research positions, several thousand personnel could lose their jobs. Many projects would be difficult to pursue at reduced levels and would need to be cancelled, putting prior year investments at risk. These cuts would delay progress on the prevention of debilitating chronic conditions that are costly to society and delay development of more effective treatments for
common and rare diseases affecting millions of Americans.

NSF research - The National Science Foundation (NSF) would issue nearly 1,000 fewer research grants and awards, impacting an estimated 12,000 scientists and students and curtailing critical
scientific research.

New drug approvals - The FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER) would face delays in translating new science and technology into regulatory policy and decision-making,
resulting in delays in new drug approvals. The FDA would likely also need to reduce operational support for meeting review performance goals, such as the recently negotiated user fee goals on new innovative prescription drugs and medical devices.

Economic Growth
Small business assistance - Small Business Administration (SBA) loan guarantees would be cut by up to approximately $900 million, constraining financing needed by small businesses to
maintain and expand their operations and create jobs.

Economic development - The Economic Development Administration's (EDA) ability to leverage private sector resources to support projects that spur local job creation would be restricted, likely resulting in more than 1,000 fewer jobs created than expected and leaving approximately $50 million in private sector investment untapped.

Oil and gas permitting - Development of oil and gas on Federal lands and waters would slow down, due to cuts in programs at the Department of the Interior (DOI) and other agencies that plan
for new projects, conduct environmental reviews, issue permits and inspect operations. Leasing of new Federal lands for future development would also be delayed, with fewer resources available for agencies to prepare for and conduct lease sales.

Government Services

Food safety - The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) could conduct 2,100 fewer inspections at domestic and foreign facilities that manufacture food products while USDA's Food Safety and
Inspection Service (FSIS) may have to furlough all employees for approximately two weeks. These reductions could increase the number and severity of safety incidents, and the public could suffer
more foodborne illness, such as the recent salmonella in peanut butter outbreak and the E. coli illnesses linked to organic spinach, as well as cost the food and agriculture sector millions of
dollars in lost production volume.

Veterans services - Although the Department of Veterans Affairs is exempt from sequestration, the Department of Labor's Veterans Transition Assistance Program, which serves over 150,000
veterans a year, would have to reduce operations - leaving thousands of transitioning veterans unserved as they move from active duty to civilian life. The Jobs for Veterans State Grants
Program would also experience cuts, translating into a reduction in the capacity to serve tens of thousands of veterans in their efforts to find civilian employment.

National parks - Many of the 398 national parks across the country would be partially or fully closed, with shortened operating hours, closed facilities, reduced maintenance, and cuts to visitor
services. These closures will hurt the many small businesses and regional economies that depend on nearby national parks to attract visitors to their region.

Education

Title I education funds - Title I education funds would be eliminated for more than 2,700 schools, cutting support for nearly 1.2 million disadvantaged students. This funding reduction would put the jobs of approximately 10,000 teachers and aides at risk. Students would lose access to individual instruction, afterschool programs, and other interventions that help close achievement gaps.

Special education (IDEA) - Cuts to special education funding would eliminate Federal support for more than 7,200 teachers, aides, and other staff who provide essential instruction and support to preschool and school-aged students with disabilities.

Head Start - Head Start and Early Head Start services would be eliminated for approximately 70,000 children, reducing access to critical early education. Community and faith based
organizations, small businesses, local governments, and school systems would have to lay off over 14,000 teachers, teacher assistants, and other staff.

Economic Security

Social Security applicant and beneficiary services - The Social Security Administration (SSA) would be forced to curtail service to the public and reduce program oversight efforts designed to
make sure benefits are paid accurately and to the right people. Potential effects on SSA operations could include a reduction in service hours to the public, and a substantial growth in the backlog of Social Security disability claims.

Senior meals - Federally-assisted programs like Meals on Wheels would be able to serve 4 million fewer meals to seniors. These meals contribute to the overall health and well-being of participating seniors, including those with chronic illnesses that are affected by diet, such as diabetes and heart disease, and frail seniors who are homebound. The meals can account for 50 percent or more of daily food for the majority of participants.

Nutrition assistance for women, infants and children - Approximately 600,000 women and children would be dropped from the Department of Agriculture's Special Supplemental Nutrition
Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) from March through September. At least 1,600 State and local jobs could be lost as a result.

Child care- Cuts to the Department of Health and Human Services' Child Care and Development Fund would leave 30,000 low-income children without child care subsidies, denying them access
to child development programs and ending a crucial work support for many families.

Rental assistance - The Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) Housing Choice Voucher program, which provides rental assistance to very low-income families, would
face a significant reduction in funding, which would place about 125,000 families at immediate risk of losing their permanent housing.

Emergency unemployment compensation - People receiving Emergency Unemployment Compensation benefits would see their benefits cut by nearly 11 percent. Affected long-term
unemployed individuals would lose an average of more than $450 in benefits that they and their families count on while they search for another job. Smaller unemployment checks will also have a
negative impact on the economy as a whole. Economists have estimated that every dollar in unemployment benefits generates $2 in economic activity.

Homelessness programs - More than 100,000 formerly homeless people, including veterans, would be removed from their current housing and emergency shelter programs, putting them at risk
of returning to the streets.

Public Health
Mental health and substance abuse services - Cuts to the Mental Health Block Grant program would result in over 373,000 seriously mentally ill adults and seriously emotionally disturbed children not receiving needed mental health services. This cut would likely lead to increased hospitalizations, involvement in the criminal justice system, and homelessness for these individuals. In addition, close to 8,900 homeless persons with serious mental illness would not get the vital outreach, treatment, housing, and support they need through the Projects for Assistance in Transition from Homelessness (PATH) program.

AIDS and HIV treatment and prevention - Cuts to the AIDS Drug Assistance Program could result in 7,400 fewer patients having access to life saving HIV medications. And approximately
424,000 fewer HIV tests could be conducted by Centers for Disease Control (CDC) State grantees, which could result in increased future HIV transmissions, deaths from HIV, and costs in health
care.

Tribal services - The Indian Health Service and Tribal hospitals and clinics would be forced to provide 3,000 fewer inpatient admissions and 804,000 fewer outpatient visits, undermining needed
health care in Tribal communities.

Sequester: Budget cuts will impact air travel

CLEVELAND -- Some of the most visible effects of across-the-board spending cuts that start March 1 will be in air travel.

Federal Aviation Administration officials predict furloughs and cutbacks could mean takeoff delays and fewer flights overall.

The FAA will see its budget reduced $600 million this year due to the cuts. Most of its 47,000 employees would be furloughed one day per pay period for the rest of the year.

The White House put out a state-by-state list of sequestration's overall impact.

It says that five small air traffic control sites in Ohio could be closed. That list includes towers at the Cuyahoga County Airport, Mansfield Airport, Ohio State University Airport, Bolton Field Airport in Columbus and the Youngstown-Warren Regional Airport. Four facilities could see their overnight shift eliminated. That includes towers at the Akron-Canton Regional Airport, Dayton, Toledo and Youngstown airports.

Senior political correspondent Tom Beres will have more on the possible cuts and how they could impact your spring or summer travel plans coming up beginning on Channel 3 News at 6 p.m.

Between the Lines: Kasich/FitzGerald speeches; taxing non-profits

Written By kolimtiga on Senin, 25 Februari 2013 | 00.38

Governor John Kasich sounded an upbeat theme in his State of the State speech, urging lawmakers to support his plans for new education funding, tax changes and expanding Medicaid.

Will he be able to sell conservatives on embracing part of Obamacare?

Are big city schools shortchanged in his education funding plan?

Should income tax cut dollars go to individuals or to restore funding cuts for government?

Cuyahoga County Executive Ed FitzGerald did not announce if he'll challenge Kasich. He delivered a new name for the Medical Mart and news about a significant new tenant.

He proposed staging a sequel to the 1936 Great Lakes Exposition that drew lots of visitors and dollars to Cleveland.

Should the county and city embrace that idea?

Cleveland  homeowners are all paying higher property taxes because of the new Cleveland school levy.

Is it time to reexamine an old question: Should hospitals and other non-profits that are exempt from property taxes kick in some other school donations in their place?

State Represenative Mike Foley is championing that idea.

Tom Beres discusses these questions with Plain Dealer columnist Kevin O'Brien and Cuyahoga County Democratic Party Chairman Blaine Griffin on this edition of Between the Lines.

Lake County: 400 lose jobs as company shuts down

Written By kolimtiga on Minggu, 24 Februari 2013 | 00.38

PAINESVILLE -- 400 people at one of Painesville's largest employers were notified of layoffs Friday.

Core Systems, LLC is shutting down productions after 50 years in the manufacturing industry.

The company makes custom molded parts in the appliance industry for clients including GE, Whirlpool, Bosch and Electrolux.

Core Systems President Bill Loebbaka says the lender gave the order to stop production late Thursday night.

"It's amazing how quickly a company can die," Loebbaka says. "In 45 minutes, my employees were gone. I kept telling them none of them did anything wrong. They did a good job. They delivered their parts on time."

After several years of growth in Painesville, Loebbaka says two weeks ago Whirlpool decided to take its business elsewhere.

"The irony is, we were in the Wall Street Journal a year ago with Whirlpool talking about bringing jobs back to America," Loebbaka says.

He says their other big client, GE, was willing to step up to make up the difference in cash flow and work force support, but the bank wouldn't wait for that to happen and gave the order to liquidate.

"I think when you're playing with people's lives, you give them a little bit more patience."

Between its large plant in Painesville and smaller plant in Mount Gilead, approximately 400 people have lost their jobs.

Many had decades of service with the company.

A handful stayed late on Friday night to help remove inventory and final customer orders.

"One by one corporations in this country are done. I'm sick of it," said Gordon Van Hyning, a tool supervisor who has been with Core Systems for seven years. "Tonight I have to go home and tell my wife I don't have a job. Not good. I have kids."

Painesville City Manager Doug Lewis says the Core Systems closing will have tremendous impact on the local economy. 

In addition to property taxes, the company brought in about $10 million in payroll on an annual basis.

Lewis says the Department of Children and Family Services is helping those laid off look for work in the local economy.

Perspective: Cleveland deserves a real Mayor's race

This just in. There's a mayor's race in Cleveland this year.

We've just gone through a grueling Presidential election where Greater Cleveland played a key role in reelecting President Barack Obama. 

A contentious governor's race is shaping up between incumbent Republican John Kasich and expected Democratic candidate Cuyahoga County Executive Ed FitzGerald.

But the Cleveland mayor's race may have gotten by you.

You say you haven't read or seen much coverage about it.

That's because there has not been much to cover. And unless a surprise last-minute candidate or supersize scandal happens, there likely won't be.

Mayor Frank Jackson's "official" announcement he's seeking a third term won't come until after his State of the City speech in March.

Third terms pose the danger of staying too long. Think former Cleveland Mayor Michael White's last tour of duty.

Jackson's publicly declared he's running, primarily to oversee successful implementation of the Cleveland schools transformation plan.

He wants to make sure the system delivers on promises it made to voters to pass a  levy.

And the tough task of getting the referendum passed was also a referendum of sorts on him.

Jackson says he always campaigns hard and does his best to convince voters he's worthy. He does.

His management of city finances in the wake of big state budget cuts has been careful and conservative.

And he will get to bask in the glory of lots of good news and new development downtown projects, including the Innerbelt Bridge, the Flats East Bank and  new Convention Center and Medical Mart. Oh, it's now called the "Global Center for Health Innovation."

Some he played a role in, some are just happening on his watch. The convention and global centers are county projects.

But there are legitimate issues, especially in the safety forces.

Firefighters' abuse of overtime and shift trades has resulted in checks and balances to prevent it.

But the mayor protected former Chief Paul Stubbs, who managed to retire without getting much blame.

And the discipline and leadership issues in the police department raised by November's out-of-control chase and gunfire barrage that killed two apparently unarmed subjects would certainly be a hot button issue for a serious challenger to seize.

Mayor Jackson is upset by Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine's investigation that seems to preclude the chances of any criminal charges and indicts the department's lack of leadership.

He's standing by and behind Cleveland Safety Director Marty Flask and Cleveland Chief Michael McGrath.

He's waiting for a by-the-book investigation of violations of rules and regulations to see what discipline is appropriate.

His solid -- some critics would say 'stolid' -- leadership is carrying the day.

At his presentation of the city budget to Cleveland City Council, members could have grilled him about any subject.

They basically treated him with kid gloves.

The fact that there aren't more hot-button issues is testimony to Jackson's oversight and management skills.

But a real election might compel him to think more outside the box and raise the bar for future plans.

Rich businessman Ken Lanci, an unsuccessful candidate for Cuyahoga County Executive, has floated trial balloons but would be a very longshot candidate. Many think he'd be wasting his money by running. But Lanci think the city needs a more visionary, chance-taking leader.

Barely known Cleveland Schools parent Donna Walker-Brown has pledged to run against Jackson, based on her issues with schools. 

Call it a cakewalk. Call it a free ride. Jackson will certainly go through the motions.

But a meaningful election would get citizens more engaged and connected.

The mayor has a strong record to run on. The city seems headed into a brighter future.

And a ho-hum mayor's race will mean more energy is available for constructive projects.

But democracy by default will not be best for the city, its people or Jackson.

Radio traffic restored to Hopkins tower after brief outage

CLEVELAND -- A contractor working on Brookpark Road is blamed for a brief outage that interrupted communication between the Cleveland Hopkins Airport tower and planes.

According to an airport spokeswoman, the contractor struck a cable that disabled the radio frequency used by the Hopkins Tower.

A ground stop was initiated and no planes were allowed to depart or land for about 35 minutes until the cable was repaired and the frequency restored. The ground stop also causes some delays for up to an hour.

The repairs were completed by 10 a.m.

Fliers are asked to check with their airlines before heading to the airport.

Brook Park: Ford announces expansion

BROOK PARK -- Ford Motors has announced a $200 million investment in its Brook Park engine plant.

The announcement comes after workers approved a deal that paves the way for up to 750 new jobs coming to the plan over the next few years.

Cleveland: Mayor Jackson rolls out budget to council

CLEVELAND -- Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson faced Cleveland Council members to explain his proposed budget. It's an annual ritual, a rare appearance where council members can grill Mayor Jackson on any subject.

It launches two-weeks of hearings where council will vet the budget. The mayor is proposing a $538.4 million budget. Jackson said his plan may be dramatically impacted by Gov. John Kasich's proposed changes in state taxes and regulations.

Jackson wants to hire 25 veteran police officers. They would focus on violent crime and guns. He would hire 40 EMS workers and buy four new ambulances to offset the effect of closing Huron Road Hospital.

The city has lost millions because of state cuts and property tax, estate tax and local government funding.

"In those things we are able to control we do a pretty good job," said the Mayor. "Those other things we don't control gives us problems."

In early questioning council members praised the mayor for the speedy reopening of the West Side Market and his solid management of the city. Through the first group of council members, there were no questions about the controversial police chase and shooting.

Council members expressed concern about the city's homicide rate and demolition policies.

The mayor drew laughter by responding to a question asking if he is on Twitter. Jackson says he does not use Twitter, "I can't believe the things people do there."

Jackson is up for re-election this year. From the tone of questions, it obvious he has very strong support of council.

Ohio tax plan hits concerts, sports, even bowling

Written By kolimtiga on Selasa, 19 Februari 2013 | 00.38

TOLEDO --  Gov. John Kasich's plan to expand Ohio's sales tax might take some of the fun out of going to concerts, high school football games and amusement parks.

Kasich wants to cut the state's overall sales-tax rate while also applying the lower 5 percent tax on new items like bowling alleys, pool halls, circuses and arcade games.

Admission to fairs, museums, and theme parks would come under Ohio's sales tax for the first time. So would tickets to pro, college and high school games.

The question facing Ohio's entertainment and sports operators is whether they would pass the costs onto ticket buyers and customers if lawmakers approve the plan.

The Republican governor says it brings fairness to Ohio's tax rates. Opponents say it's the wrong time to widen the sales tax.

PORTAGE LAKES -- Pirates, ninjas and superheroes were among the wacky pack of people jumping into wickedly cold waters in the 10th annual Portage Lakes Polar Bear Jump.

With flurries flying and ice floating, hundreds of people packed the beach at Portage Lakes State Park on Saturday to take the bone-chilling challenge in an effort to raise money for the Akron-Canton Regional Foodbank.

Photos: 2013 Portage Lakes Polar Bear Jump

Officials with the event say it was a splashing success with more than $80,000 raised.

The Akron-Canton Regional Foodbank says every dollar will generate four meals.

Each brave jumper raised/donated at least $25 to take part in the plunge.

The 2013 event started with Akron-Canton Regional Foodbank CEO Dan Flowers making the first jump with his son around 2 p.m.

From that point forward, more than 725 people -- some in simple swimwear, others in goofy getups -- put their toes on the edge of the dock and lunged into the choppy water.

Some then swam to a nearby ladder to get out of the water as quickly as possible, while others raced to shore where a large audience of warmly dressed folks watched it all unfold.

Looking back: 2012 Portage Lakes Polar Bear Jump

Emergency crews were on hand to make sure everybody was safe and warming tents were available.

To date, the Portage Lakes Polar Bear Jump has raised nearly $400,000 since it started in 2004.

Eastlake: Man found drunk, snoring, asleep at stoplight

EASTLAKE -- Police find a driver asleep, snoring and drunk with his foot on the brake at a traffic light.

Just before 12:30 a.m. Feb. 15, police responded to the area of E. 337th Street and Vine Street for a report of a man stopped at the traffic light, asleep behind the wheel of a car.

On arrival they saw the man slumped behind the wheel of the vehicle. Officers knocked on the window several times in an effort to get the driver's attention but he did not respond.

The driver's door was then opened and an obvious odor of an alcoholic beverage was coming from the driver.

The driver had his foot on the brake of the car and was snoring. Officers put the vehicle in park, then called out to the man in an effort to wake him and several attempts to do so failed.

They then shook the man's shoulder in an effort to wake him, at which time he began to stir.

After several moments, the man raised his head and mumbled something unintelligible. Finally he awakened and, when asked what he was doing, he said he was waiting for his friend.

The man looked around and spotted the officers and uttered an expletive.

After failing field sobriety testing, the man, 35, from Willowick, was arrested for OVI, driving under suspension and obstructing an intersection.

His Breathalyzer test came back as 0.164, more than twice the .08 legal limit.

Exclusive: Westlake moviegoer with gun speaks out

Written By kolimtiga on Minggu, 17 Februari 2013 | 00.38

WESTLAKE -- For the first time, we are hearing from the local man who brought a gun and weapons into a Westlake movie theater, just days after the deadly shooting inside a Colorado movie theater.

Scott Smith regrets his decision to take a loaded gun into the Regal theaters in Westlake.

He says the community has nothing to fear from him, that he was protecting himself.

"I was being stubborn and I wasn't about to let James Holmes and people like him dictate my behavior," Smith said.

Instead, Scott Smith, 38, fell right into the same trap he was trying to avoid. His life has changed forever, now facing a possible prison sentence.

"It's in a shambles, Smith said.

Last August, Smith packed a loaded gun, ammo and a knife into a duffle bag and headed to Regal Cinema in Westlake for the new Batman film "Dark Knight Rises."

"I didn't think it was this big of a deal," Smith said.

Smith wanted to see the film but not take chances. Three movie house shootings nationwide, including the Colorado ambush that killed 12 people, left him on the defensive.

"I made a snap decision. A poor decision. I didn't think it through," Smith said.

He was charged with 20 felony gun violations, including posession under disability because he took a sleeping aid and pain medication.

"There were implications for the entire country and everyone who owns guns and takes medications, so I felt like I had to fight it out," Smith said.

He fought it and won. The judge dropped the charge Friday. He pleaded guilty to two counts of carrying concealed weapons. While he regrets his decision, Smith can't help but feel there is another agenda at work here.

"This became about politics and gun control," Smith said.

Smith says having to do it all again, he simply would have stayed home.

When asked why he didn't get a conceal carry permit, Smith says he had no time to do it, that he thought this was the one and only time he needed to carry a gun.

Cleveland: Man injured in club shooting

CLEVELAND - Police are investigating after a man was shot in the back inside a Cleveland club early this morning.

Washington, DC: Renacci picked for Ways & Means Panel

WASHINGTON, DC -- 16th District Congressman Jim Renacci has been assigned to the important House Ways and Means Committee.

Chairman, Michigan Congressman Dave Camp said, "Congressman Renacciy's background as a small business owner means he understands how policies written in Washington can affect the daily decisions a business makes about hiring investing and contributing to their local economy. That first-hand knowledge, along with his legislative experience makes him a valuable addition."

Renacci called the selection an "absolute honor."

"As a CPA and business owner, I have dealt firsthand with complexity of our tax code and its more than 4 million words. Both Congressional Republicans and Democrats-and even President Obama-agree we must reform our massive, confusing andinefficient system of taxation," he said.

The Ways and Means Committee is the longest-existing in both chambers of Congress. It's the committee dealing with tax-writing issues in the House.

Renacci joins Rep. Pat Tiberi as the Ohio members on the panel.

Prior to his election, Renacciy worked as CPA in the health care industry. He owned and ran more than 60 other companies in the automotive and sports management sectors.

Expected arrival of disabled ship is pushed back

MOBILE, Ala.  -- A Carnival spokesman says the towing of a disabled cruise ship that has been stranded in the Gulf of Mexico for days is taking longer than anticipated.

Spokesman Vance Gulliksen says the Triumph is now expected to arrive alongside the cruise terminal in Mobile between 8 and 11 p.m. Thursday. Earlier, it had been expected Thursday afternoon.

Gulliken says four tugs are towing the vessel.

Passengers have described dismal, filthy conditions onboard, but the company has disputed the accounts and says employees are doing everything to ensure people are comfortable.

An engine-room fire Sunday left the ship powerless. More than 4,000 people are on board.

How to lower your cable bill to $8 per month

Written By kolimtiga on Kamis, 14 Februari 2013 | 00.38

CLEVELAND -- If your cable bill is anywhere close to $80 per month, there's a way to lower it to $8. Since I tackled this subject a year ago, I've heard from many of you who've come onboard with great success.  

While this Ways 2 Save isn't for everyone or the most demanding viewers, I have successfully lowered my bill from the previous $100 per month I was paying.

Considering I was only watching eight of the channels in my provider package, almost three years ago I made the decision to go Roku.

Here are three easy steps to sever the ties with your provider:

1) Buy a Roku for a one-time fee of $49.99 (more on Roku in a minute). CLICK HERE - it's on sale with this coupon + free shipping.

2) Get a subscription to Hulu Plus for $7.99 a month (so you can watch your favorite new primetime shows, as well as previous episodes). CLICK HERE for a one week free trial or to see what shows are available.

3) Buy a good HD antenna so you can still watch us! Also on sale today, CLICK HERE for a coupon on my favorite model + free shipping.

So what is Roku? 

It's a beautiful little HD streaming box that allows you to watch most of your favorite TV and movie content on demand. 

Roku provides free access to hundreds of channels via its new and improved interface. Some of my favorites include Crackle, a free movie service, NBC News, Wall Street Journal Live, CNBC and CNET. If you're already an Amazon Prime member or Netflix subscriber, you can also watch all of that content in its HD glory on your TV via Roku. You can also pause, skip and return to most content on your Roku at any time. Hulu Plus is your key to the rest of that great primetime content with significantly fewer commercials than you'd see on traditional television.

So what are the other savings?

Most importantly, you're not paying to rent your box (like you'd be paying with a cable or satellite provider). You can also watch as many movies or TV shows on demand as you want (with a Hulu Plus subscription or Netflix) without any contracts or package price increases. 

What are the drawbacks?

If you watch HBO or premium cable / satellite content, this might not be for you. If you have dial-up internet, you can't use Roku and in most cases you'll be getting your primetime programming a day after everyone else via Hulu.

Why Roku over Apple TV?

Aside from the fact Roku is half the price, it's always been ahead of Apple TV. Roku was 1080p on its higher-end models almost two years before this was offered by Apple TV. Roku also had Hulu Plus access way before Apple TV, has more free content and is constantly being improved. If you're set on using a device to stream content from your iPad or iTunes collection, Apple TV is the way to go.

What do you need?

Other than the coupons I just passed along and an HDMI cable, you need a high-speed internet connection to power Roku. In all my tests, DSL Speeds of at least 5.0 Mbps are required. 

Happy Savings!

Ash Wednesday: Trinity Cathedral offers Ashes to Go

CLEVELAND -- Christians in Northeast Ohio are marking the start of Lent with the observance of Ash Wednesday.

The observance traditionally includes the placement of ashes in the sign of a cross on a person's forehead as a symbol of penitence.

In this busy on-the-go world, Trinity Cathedral in downtown Cleveland is making it easier for the faithful to observe the holy day.

The cathedral is offering "Ashes go Go." Cathedral clergy were at the Stephanie Tubbs Jones Transit Center this morning to give commuters ashes as they hopped on the train. Clergy will be on the steps of the Cathedral (2230 Euclid Avenue) from 1 to 2 p.m. and 4 to 6 p.m. to distribute ashes as well.

Reverend Will Mebane explains, "We're swimming against the tide if we think we can simply open our doors on Sunday morning and wait for people to walk in. That is just not happening- it's not going to happen. So, I think we have to do more of this actually."

Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of Lent, a 40 day season of reflection, fasting, and penance.

The ash symbolizes the passing of life on Earth, as in "ashes to ashes, dust to dust".

The ashes come burning the blessed palms from last year's Palm Sunday celebration.

In addition to Ashes to Go, Trinity Cathedral will hold Ash Wednesday services at the church: noon and 6 p.m. Eucharist will be celebrated with imposition of ashes at all services. Trinity Cathedral Choir will sing at the 6 p.m. service. Following the 6 p.m. service, all are welcome to the simple Lenten meal ($5 donation) in Cathedral Hall.

Indians sign RHP Daisuke Matsuzaka to minor-league deal

Brad Penner-USA TODAY Sports

GOODYEAR, Ariz.  --  Daisuke Matsuzaka has officially joined the revitalized Cleveland Indians.

The Japanese right-hander, limited to just 18 starts the past two seasons because of elbow issues, signed a minor-league contract Wednesday. The 32-year-old is being reunited with manager Terry Francona, beginning his first season with the Indians. The two spent several seasons together with the Boston Red Sox.

Matsuzaka will compete to win a spot in Cleveland's rotation. If he's added to the 40-man roster, Matsuzaka will make $1.5 million this season. He can earn an additional $2.5 million in performance bonuses.

Matsuzaka went 50-37 in six seasons with the Red Sox, who signed him to a $52 million contract in 2007. He went a combined 33-15 in his first two seasons, but is only 17-22 since 2008. He underwent reconstructive elbow surgery in 2011.

Ohio seeks new tests, reports on drilling waste

Written By kolimtiga on Rabu, 13 Februari 2013 | 00.38

COLUMBUS -- Radioactive waste from oil and natural gas drilling would face new testing, reporting and tracking requirements before going to Ohio landfills under a proposal included in Gov. John Kasich's budget.

The proposal was under way before Ohio revoked permits last week for two companies that allegedly dumped some 20,000 gallons of gas-drilling wastewater down a storm sewer that empties into the Mahoning River watershed around Youngstown.

The plan, released Monday, requires drilling operators to test drilling muds, dirt and rock for radioactivity that hasn't occurred naturally and share that information with landfills before waste is accepted.

Drilling waste containing excessive concentrations of technologically enhanced radioactivity would be diverted to separate licensed disposal sites or diluted under regulatory supervision.

The development was first reported by the Akron Beacon Journal Monday.

Report: Sandy's winds felt as far west as Wis.

NEWARK, N.J. -- Superstorm Sandy not only caused destruction up and down the East Coast, it also created wind gusts as far west as Wisconsin and as far north as Canada.

The extent of Sandy's devastation is detailed in a report released Tuesday by the National Hurricane Center.

It describes Sandy's beginnings as a tropical wave off the coast of Africa on Oct. 11 that reached the Caribbean a week later. It temporarily weakened below hurricane strength while passing Cuba, then regained hurricane strength as it approached the U.S. on October 27.

The highest storm surge measured by tide gauges in New Jersey was 8½ feet over normal levels at Sandy Hook.

The highest surge in New York was more than 12½ feet at Kings Point on the western edge of Long Island Sound.

Vatican: Benedict XVI too weary to remain pope

Written By kolimtiga on Selasa, 12 Februari 2013 | 00.38

ALBERTO PIZZOLI,AFP/Getty Images

LONDON -- When he became pope at age 78, Benedict XVI was already the oldest pontiff elected in nearly 300 years. He's now 85, and in recent years he has slowed down significantly, cutting back his foreign travel and limiting his audiences.

The pope travels to the altar in St. Peter's Basilica on a moving platform to spare him the 100-yard (-meter) walk down the aisle. Occasionally he uses a cane. Late last year, people who were spending time with the pontiff emerged saying they found him weak and too tired to engage with what they were saying.

The Vatican stressed on Monday that no specific medical condition prompted Benedict's decision to become the first pontiff to resign in 600 years. Still, Benedict said his advanced age means he no longer has the necessary mental and physical strength to lead the world's more than one billion Roman Catholics.

That Benedict is tired would be a perfectly normal diagnosis for an 85-year-old pope, even someone with no known serious health problems and a still-agile mind.

He has acknowledged having suffered a hemorrhagic stroke in 1991 that temporarily affected his vision, but he later made a full recovery. In 2009, the pope fell and suffered minor injuries when he broke one of his wrists while vacationing in the Alps.

A doctor familiar with the pope's medical team told The Associated Press on Monday that the pontiff has no grave or life-threatening illnesses. But, the doctor said, the pope - like many men his age - has suffered some prostate problems. Beyond that, the pope is simply old and tired, the doctor said on condition of anonymity.

According to the pope's brother Georg Ratzinger, the pontiff was told by his doctor not to take any more trans-Atlantic trips. In fact, the pontiff's only foreign trip this year was scheduled to be a July visit to Brazil for the church's World Youth Day.

Experts weren't surprised the pope's health problems were slowing him down.

"In someone who's 85 and has arthritis, the activities of being a pope will be a struggle," said Dr. Alan Silman, the medical director of Arthritis Research U.K. He said Pope Benedict most likely has osteoarthritis, which causes people to lose the cartilage at the end of their joints, making it difficult to move around without pain.

"It would be painful for him to kneel while he's praying and could be excruciating when he tries to get up again," Silman said, adding that for people with arthritis, even standing for long periods of time can be challenging.

Silman said some drugs could help ease the pain, but most would come with side effects such as drowsiness or stomach problems, which would likely be more serious in the elderly.

The doctor said it isn't clear whether the pope's arthritis would worsen with age. "It could be it's as bad as it's going to get," he said. "But it already sounds like he has it pretty bad and continuing with all the activities of being the pope won't help."

Joe Korner, a spokesman for Britain's Stroke Association, said having a mild stroke also could be a warning of a possible major stroke in the future. "I would imagine the pope has been warned this could happen and that he should make some changes to his lifestyle," Korner said, including reducing stress levels.

When he became pope, Benedict replaced John Paul, who died in 2005 at the age of 84. He was the Vatican's most-traveled pontiff, visiting 129 countries during his nearly 27-year papacy and had captured the world's affection like no other pope.

In the last year of his life, John Paul was forced to curtail his travels because of old age and illness, including trembling hands and slurred speech, an inability to walk or hold his head up, and other symptoms of Parkinson's disease.

$1M reward for ex-Los Angeles officer prompts tips

IRVINE, Calif.  --  A $1 million reward for a fugitive ex-police officer wanted in the slayings of three people took authorities to a San Fernando Valley home improvement store but so far prompted no credible leads in the search for Christopher Dorner.

The manhunt for him, coupled with the need for added security at Sunday's Grammy Awards, left the ranks of the Los Angeles Police Department stretched thin. A tactical alert began Sunday afternoon and remained in effect Monday for all city officers, which means they're staying on duty beyond their shifts.

Besides responding to the usual calls for service, police have been protecting dozens of families in the area considered targets based on Dorner's Facebook rant against those he held responsible for ending his career with the LAPD five years ago.

Among those Dorner, 33, is suspected of killing is a Riverside police officer, and on the fourth day of the manhunt, authorities put up a $1 million reward for information leading to his capture.

"Our dedication to catch this killer remains steadfast. Our confidence remains unshaken," Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa said at a news conference alongside police chiefs and mayors from Irvine and Riverside. "We will not tolerate this reign of terror."

Several tips came in within a few hours after the award announcement, including a reported Dorner sighting that had police surrounding and evacuating a Lowe's Home Improvement store in LA's San Fernando Valley, police spokesman Gus Villanueva said. A search of the store yielded no evidence that Dorner was there or had been there.

After days without resolution, Dorner's fugitive status caused concern among some and downright fear among others in Irvine, an upscale community that the FBI consistently ranks among the safest cities in the U.S.

"If he did come around this corner, what could happen? We're in the crossfire, with the cops right there," said Irvine resident Joe Palacio, who lives down the street from the home surrounded by authorities protecting a police captain mentioned in Dorner's posting.

"I do think about where I would put my family," he said. "Would we call 911? Would we hide in the closet?"

The neighborhood has been flooded with authorities since Wednesday. Residents have seen police helicopters circle and cruisers stake out schools. Some have responded by keeping their children home. Others no longer walk their dogs at night.

Police also were looking into a taunting phone call to the father of the woman they believe Dorner killed last week.

Two law enforcement officers who requested anonymity because of the ongoing investigation told The Associated Press they are trying to determine whether Dorner made the call telling retired police Capt. Randal Quan that he should have done a better job protecting his daughter.

The bodies of Monica Quan and her fiance were found shot dead last Sunday in Irvine, marking the start of the high-profile case.

Things escalated early Thursday, when police say Dorner got into a shootout with police in Corona, grazing an LAPD officer's head with a bullet before escaping. Authorities believe he then used a rifle to ambush two Riverside police officers, killing one and seriously wounding the other.

Police had withheld the names of victims both living and dead victims because of fears of Dorner targeting their families, but on Sunday the Riverside Police Department released the name of the officer killed, 34-year-old ex-Marine and 11 year department veteran Michael Crain.

The Anaheim native and father of two will be buried at Riverside National Cemetery on Wednesday.

Riverside police Chief Sergio Diaz said police had hoped Dorner would be in custody by now, but they decided to proceed with the identification and public memorial.

"We're not going to fail our officer and our hero," Diaz said Sunday. "We're going to bury him."

After Thursday's shootings in Corona and Riverside, officers in Torrance twice mistakenly identified people in their search for Dorner.

A lawyer for the driver of a pickup peppered with police bullets said police were reckless. Surfer Dan Perdue was driving to the beach early Thursday when his Honda Ridgeline was stopped by officers guarding the home of a law enforcement official targeted by Dorner.

The pickup resembled Dorner's Nissan Titan. After driving away, the Ridgeline was hit by a squad car.

Perdue attorney Robert Sheahen told the Daily Breeze of Torrance (http://bit.ly/12F0uON ) the pickup spun around and officers began shooting. Perdue wasn't wounded.

A police department statement says Perdue's vehicle was suddenly leaving the area and officers on heightened alert took appropriate measures.

The shooting was blocks from the mistaken identity LAPD shooting of two women delivering newspapers.

The manhunt continued Monday in the San Bernardino mountains near the ski resort town of Big Bear, where authorities found Dorner's burned out pickup truck Thursday. Police have since said they discovered weapons and camping gear inside the vehicle.

The search scaled down as the weekend went on, but a helicopter with heat-seeking technology scanned the area as two-dozen officers went back to some of the 600 cabins they earlier visited door to door.

LAPD Chief Charlie Beck said despite the dwindling search, there was not another area that appeared more likely than Big Bear where Dorner might be, saying the suspect's chances to plan beforehand may have helped him remain elusive.

"We have nothing currently better, Beck said at Sunday's news conference.

Police and city officials believe the $1 million reward, raised from both public and private sources, would give them better options.

Beck said the money, believed the biggest reward in local history, was not difficult to pull together.

"It was amazingly, amazingly easy," he said.

The chief said the case is distinct from most that offer rewards for fleeing fugitives because police strongly believe Dorner would strike again if given the chance.

"This is not about catching a fugitive suspect, it's about preventing a future crime, most likely a murder," Beck said. "This is an act, make no mistake about it, of domestic terrorism."

He deflected questions about whether the reward applied whether Dorner were dead or alive, calling the phrase "ugly" and saying he hoped no one else was injured in the ordeal, including the suspect.

With little apparent evidence pointing to Dorner's whereabouts, worrisome questions emerged: How long could the intense search be sustained? And, if Dorner continues to evade capture, how do authorities protect dozens of former police colleagues whom he has publicly targeted?

LAPD Cmdr. Andrew Smith said the department has deployed 50 protection details to guard officers and their families who are deemed targets in Dorner's manifesto.

"It can't be one guy with a gun in a living room," Smith said, suggesting that more officers would be necessary to keep families safe.

The department, however, is looking for alternatives if the search for Dorner stretches on, whether it's reducing the numbers of officers or something else, he said.

There were no plans to reduce protections until Dorner was in custody, Los Angeles police Sgt. Rudy Lopez said.

As long as Dorner's whereabouts are unknown, the police department must provide protection to those named in his rant, said Chuck Drago, a Florida-based police consultant.

"We realize it costs money and it gets expensive, but this is as clear of a threat as you can get," he said. "We know that if he's able to get to these targets then he's probably able to hurt them. The money is always an issue but not when it's somebody's life at stake."

Between the Lines: State budget, chase fallout, Westbrook farewell

Governor John Kasich's re-election budget is getting cheers and jeers after its rollout.

Kasich promised more money for most schools and no cuts for any systems.

But some systems in poorer cities are disappointed their revenues are remaining flat.

An income tax and sales tax cut funded partly by higher taxes on oil and drilling will be popular with taxpayers and small businesses.

But taxing more services may not be.

Kasich wants to expand Medicaid with the federal government picking up most of the tab to provide coverage to lower income Ohioans.

It also involves issuing bonds for infrastructure project backed by the Ohio Turnpike.

What parts of the budget will be most problematic?

How does this provide a platform for Kasich's re-election bid?

Attorney General Mike DeWine's report on November's Cleveland police chase and double fatall shooting is creating a political crossfire.

Did he go too far blaming it on the police department's "systemic failure?"

Should Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Tim McGinty appoint a special prosecutor to hand it to the grand jury?

Does there need to be a "fall guy" for the  chaotic and tragic outcome?

Much-respected veteran Cleveland Councilman Jay Westbrook will not run for reelection after 34 years in office.

What will his loss mean to council?

Which of his qualities could his colleagues emulate?

Tom Beres discusses these issues with Channel 3 Political Analysts Mary Anne Sharkey and Dennis Eckart on this edition of Between the Lines.
