Beware of bed bugs on secondhand items

DOWNLOAD OUR FREE WKYC APPS

MIDDLEBURG HEIGHTS -- They're creepy. They're crawly, and they're everywhere!

Bed bugs are such a big problem that Cuyahoga County created a task force to fight the tiny critters.

The task force is warning shoppers to take a close look at any secondhand items they've purchased at consignment shops.

If you've never seen one before, a full-grown bed bug gets no bigger than an apple seed.

Wanda Stewart is a bargain hunter. When she rummages through the racks, she's looking for a good deal without stains, rips or bed bugs.

"I also look up under the collar and look all through the furs, you know, because we don't want nothing lurking or hiding through the furs," said Stewart.

These disgusting creatures look a lot like a tick but act like a vampire. When they come out at night, they feed on human blood, leaving behind red bite marks.

"Bed bugs can happen to anyone. If you're living a breathing, that's a criteria that the bed bug needs to hone in on you," said Dr. Susan Jones, from Ohio State University.

The Cleveland Furniture Bank has yet to see a single bed bug on any of its donations, but the secondhand store isn't taking chances.

"We unload it here and inspect the mattresses again at the lower level to make sure there's nothing wrong with them," said Executive Director Tom Gaghan.

All mattresses and furniture are inspected, sprayed with a sanitizing solution, and marked with a red tag -- as required by Ohio law.

Clothing and Halloween costumes are inspected three times before they're put on the sales floor.

For customers like Wanda, that's a relief.  

"It brings me a lot of comfort, a lot of comfort, and I will be back," said Stewart.

Keep in mind that not all secondhand stores inspect clothing for bed bugs. They are not required by law to do so.

If you bought an item and are concerned about it, put it in the dryer on medium to high heat for a half hour.

Jones says bed bugs don't have a mechanism to withstand high temperatures.

Twinsburg native knocked out of NBC's 'The Voice'

DOWNLOAD OUR FREE WKYC APPS

Twinsburg native Anthony Paul was knocked out of NBC's hit show "The Voice" Tuesday night.  

His version of the song "The Other Side" by Jason Derulo was not enough to stay alive. 

He had been eliminated two weeks ago before Aguilera "stole" him - keeping him the contest for a while longer. 

On Twitter Tuesday night Paul said:  "I cannot explain how grateful I am and I cannot do anything without the support of my amazing family, friends community and fans....."

On another tweet he says "first of all, in my opinion that was my worst performance ever, and the fact that I still have so much support is incredible."

His friends who sang with him at Twinsburg High School continue to sing his praises.

"We all know how talented he is, how hard of a worker he is, and we know he'll never give up on what he wants to do," says Twinsburg Junior Nicole Ostrowski.  "It will not be the end of Anthony Paul."

"I think he'll pursue his music career, and he should," says sophomore Alec Albright.  "Because it's his passion, he's so talented, and it'd be such a waste if he stopped it right there."

Indeed he remains on that track, Anthony Paul is back at college, studying music in suburban Chicago.

Chagrin Falls | Pumpkin roll ends with arrests, injuries

DOWNLOAD OUR FREE WKYC APPS

CHAGRIN FALLS -- The 46th annual pumpkin roll down Grove Hill is history.

It was one of the shortest rolls in recent history, as police shut it down after about 45 minutes due to the slipperiness of the hill, multiple arrests and a few injuries, they said.

There were five or six arrests, police said, all for underage drinking, according to police.

GUIDE | Local Halloween happenings

One adult fell on the slippery hill and was taken by the village fire department's rescue squad for treatment. A girl also sustained an abrasion to her head as well.

The roll started just before midnight Monday as Chagrin Falls High School juniors and seniors dumped the pumpkins they had collected from yards the past several weeks.

It ended just after 12:30 a.m. Tuesday.

The last person on the hill was a young man with a flashlight. He had lost his keys on one of his trips down the hill. He and a few police officers scoured the hill, looking for keys "with a Michigan lanyard," he told them.

Miraculously, after about 15 minutes, he found them.

The point of the annual tradition is to gather pumpkins and then roll and smash them on the hill, that steep hill on Main Street at the north end of downtown Chagrin Falls.

It began as just rolling them and running away. It morphed over the years into smashing and rolling those pumpkins and then sliding down the hill in the pumpkin guts/slime left behind.

It all began in the fall of 1967 when members of the class of 1969 decided to gather 69 pumpkins and roll them down Grove Hill. Several members of the classes of 1970 and 1971 also helped gather pumpkins. One night around Halloween they drove to the top of Grove Hill, quickly dumped all the pumpkins, and drove off.

The number of pumpkins stacked atop the summit at the start of the roll has ranged from about 100 to an all-time high of 400 or so. The Class of 1979, however, says they collected 900 pumpkins.

Who cleans up?

Police cite the drivers who deliver the pumpkins to the top of the hill for "dumping debris on the roadway." Once the roll ends, the village's service department is called and bring out a front-end loader to scrape the debris from the roadway.

Rogue pumpkins that managed to roll all the way down the hill past Orange Street are gathered up by hand. Once all the pumpkin mess has been loaded into a dump truck, the hill will be hosed down and reopened.

Police will determine the cost of having the service department clean up the mess and then bill the drivers who delivered the pumpkins.

A collection is taken up among the students and given to the drivers to pay the bill.

Ohio gas prices take a dip

DOWNLOAD OUR FREE WKYC APPS

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Ohio gas prices have taken a big dip after two straight weeks of increases.

The state average was $3.21 for a gallon of regular gas in Monday's survey from auto club AAA, the Oil Price Information Service and WEX Inc. That's down 17 cents from last week.

Ohio's price is well under the $3.33 per gallon price at this time last year.

The national average was down also, to $3.29 Monday. That's 6 cents lower than a week ago, and well below the $3.55 average at this time last year.

Analysts say the falling prices are mostly due to abundant gas supplies, flat demand and the shift to winter-blend fuels.

Crews will close the I-90 eastbound exit ramp to Eddy Road at 8 p.m., and the ramp will remain closed through late May 2014. 

Motorists will be detoured via I-90 eastbound to East 152nd Street to I-90 westbound to Eddy Road.

Additionally, on Monday, crews will shift all lanes of I-90 eastbound under Eddy Road toward the left in order to allow demolition and deck replacement operations to take place without impacting peak travel times.

Overnight lane closures on I-90 may be necessary for bridge deck demolition operations.

On Monday traffic on Eddy Road over I-90 will be maintained with one lane in each direction and this will remain until the project is complete in fall 2014.

The second phase of the project will begin in spring-2014 with the closure of the Eddy Road entrance ramp to I-90 eastbound for approximately five months. 

Motorists will be detoured via I-90 westbound to East 55th Street to I-90 eastbound.

These ramp closures are necessary for demolition and deck replacement operations.

HS Football: Week 9 Friday Night Fever

The ninth Friday night of the high school football season is in the books!

The temperature has dropped the past few days, making the weather conditions at some of tonight's area games mirror those often felt at playoff games. With many teams fighting to prolong their seasons past Week 10, the action at some contests reached the intensity of win-or-go-home postseason tilts.

In tonight's Friday Night Fever "Big Game," visiting Medina Highland thwarted Nordonia's comeback attempt and defeated the Knights 28-25 to remain undefeated and clinch at least a share of the Suburban League title.

Reigning Division III state champion Akron St. Vincent-St. Mary prove once again that it's poised to repeat by traveling to Stark County and defeating Massillon Washington 28-23.

In one of the night's most entertaining nailbiters, Padua Franciscan edged Notre Dame-Cathedral Latin 23-22 in overtime.

Police still seek help in finding hit-skip driver who killed boy

DOWNLOAD OUR FREE WKYC APPS

CLEVELAND -- Police still need your help finding the driver who struck and killed a five year old boy Friday morning.

It happened at the intersection of West 37th Street and Denison Avenue. Police closed off the area after Israel Thornton, 5,  tried to cross Denison on his way to the bus.

The driver who hit him didn't stop. Police are now looking at surveillance cameras to find the driver of a light-colored SUV or Dodge Caravan.

"It's sad, sad for the family, it's sad because so many kids are walking up and down the street and that's a young life we lost," said Gloria Nieves.

Nieves' beauty shop is just down the street. Construction has changed the traffic patterns on Denison, confusing many drivers. Plus, neighbors say the speed limit is too high.

"It's packed, it's crazy, people need to slow down, the speed limit is too high, it needs to be lowered, needs to have cross walks," said John Pawul.

For 27 years, Pawul has watched drivers fly through the intersection. Cleveland City Councilman Brian Cummins agrees that something needs to be done. He's pushing for a crosswalk and a traffic study to get the speed reduced to 25 mph, even though the current speed of 35 mph is within the state code.

"Counter to the Ohio Revised Code, we think we can prove through traffic incidents that we need it here," said Cummins.

It won't bring back five year old Israel Thornton, but neighbors hope the proposed changes will slow down drivers and keep kids safe on their way to school.

Anyone with information regarding the whereabouts of the hit skip vehicle or the driver of the vehicle, or anyone with information regarding this incident is asked to contact the Second District at 216-623-5200 or the Hit Skip Unit at 216-623-5191.

Anonymous information can be given to Crime Stoppers by calling 216-252-7463 or via text message: text TIP657 plus your message to Crimes (274637).

POWER | More than 12,000 still without power

DOWNLOAD OUR FREE WKYC APPS

LAKE COUNTY -- FirstEnergy crews are restoring power to those hit hard by the early October snowfall.

The company's website says approximately 12,256 customers are without power as of 5 a.m. Friday.

Check the FirstEnergy outage map

The majority of outages are in Cuyahoga and Geauga counties respectively.

An additional 150 crews from FirstEnergy Corp utilities Ohio Edison, Toledo Edison, Penelec and West Penn Power are expected to arrive in the hardest hit areas throughout the day to assist with the restoration process.

The weight of Thursday's lake effect snow -- combined with leaves still being on the trees -- has resulted in numerous tree limbs and branches falling into CEI equipment and wires, causing service interruptions.

The majority of customers currently without power are expected to be restored by Friday, if not sooner, based on current weather conditions.

FirstEnergy says you can report an outage through an app available for Apple iPhones and Android phones, using the search term "FirstEnergy."

The priority for restoration starts with emergency services, including hospitals, police, and fire.

Repairs are scheduled based on restoring the most people the fastest. In areas with severe damage, it may require repairs in multiple locations to restore power to one location.

Summit County leads state in meth arrests

DOWNLOAD OUR FREE WKYC APPS

SUMMIT COUNTY --  The Summit County Drug Unit is on alert and working overtime to keep you safe.

Take a look at these numbers: one in every four meth busts in Ohio happens in Summit County.

It may seem surprising, but that's how it's been for the past few years.

What's new is that Summit County now leads the state in the number of meth related arrests, according to a new report from Attorney General Mike DeWine.

Inspector Bill Holland with the Summit County Sheriff's Offices says there aren't necessarily more people cooking meth in Summit County, instead, he says the Summit County and Akron Drug units are aggressively going after offenders.

And meth cooks aren't just staying indoors now and cooking in and house and on a stove.

"It went from that to a one-pot lab, basically a two liter soda bottle or a small sports drink bottle. It's very mobile. Someone can throw it in their purse or their backpack and be producing meth at that time," says Inspector Holland.

In fact, since 2010, Summit County has seen a 400% increase in this type of lab. And when the meth cooks are done with the bottle, they often toss it on the side of the road or in a dumpster; that's when it becomes a danger to you.

"People come across one of these bottles and are not sure what it is. And if you shake it or disturb it, it can cause an explosion."

Inspector Holland says if you see a bottle on the side of the road with a muddy looking liquid inside, do not touch it. Instead, call your local law enforcement.

Source: Family members among those accusing Acevedo of rape

DOWNLOAD OUR FREE WKYC APPS

CLEVELAND -- A source involved in the investigation of Elias Acevedo Sr. tells WKYC that three of the women accusing him of rape are members of his family.

The same source confirms that just this week a fourth victim has also come forward.

WKYC has also learned that paternity tests show that Acevedo fathered a child with one of his family members.

A grand jury has charged Acevedo in a nearly 300-count indictment on charges of murder, rape and kidnapping.

Acevedo is being held on a $5 million bond in the 1994 murder of Pamela Pemberton and the 1995 murder of Christina Adkins.

A house where Acevedo used to live in on Vega Avenue at the time of the murders has been searched by police more than once.

While the house was undergoing renovations last week, workers found women's underwear in the rafters , leading them to suspect other victims may be out there.

Geauga County: Debate over open school enrollment

DOWNLOAD OUR FREE WKYC APPS

CHESTERLAND -- A controversy has been simmering in the West Geauga School District this year because of the school's open enrollment policy.

West Geauga approved open enrollment of students who live outside of the district back in 2007, and this year the number of open enrollment students is at its highest level -- at 250.

The district says enrollment has been declining, so this was a way to bring more students in and their per pupil funding follows them from their home district.

Without open enrollment, the district says it could be faced with layoffs and high class sizes.

Opponents have been concerned that test scores could fall and even that property values could be impacted.

"We looked at test scores and open enrollment students had higher test scores than resident students," says Superintendent Geoff Palmer.

Lorinda Tagg is a parent who lives in Mayfield and her two boys attend the schools.

"It's very sad, " says Tagg. "People are pointing fingers and don't have the facts."

She says this year they have heard more negative comments in the community about open enrollment students, and that is disappointing.

There is a town hall meeting on this issue at 7 p.m. Oct. 30 in Room 124 of the high school.

Blue Angels to return to the 2014 Cleveland National Air Show

The Blue Angels will roar across the skies again next summer at the 2014 Cleveland National Air Show.

A spokesman for the Navy Blue Angels Jet Demonstration Team has notified air show officials that the Department of Defense has approved the team's 2014 performance schedule.

Sequester cuts forced the cancelation of this year's performance and air show.

The tentative dates for the Cleveland National Air Show presented by Drug Mart are for the Labor Day weekend (August 30 to September 1).

The Cleveland National Air Show has been a Labor Day weekend tradition since 1964 bringing in 60,000 to 100,000 visitors. It is one of the region's biggest events with a annual economic impact estimated at $7.1 million for the region.

Cleveland Schools respond to hiring concerns

DOWNLOAD OUR FREE WKYC APPS

CLEVELAND -- 43 days into the Cleveland Metropolitan school year, and for some it's been 43 days without teachers.

"Why should me as a preacher, parents and folks for the common good have to come to talk to the school board about having a teacher in a school? That just doesn't make sense to us," said one gentlemen who attended Tuesday's school board meeting to discuss the district's hiring problems.

CMSD CEO Eric Gordon says it's the district is doing 'significant hiring' for the first time in 15 years, and it's going well, but incomplete.

The district still has 84 open positions, including 20 percent of the positions at investment school, John Adams High.

"The process is long because we don't enough candidates who want to work in John Adams High School. And we need to find more candidates," said Gordon, at the meeting.

"It's a farse. The fact that there's no teachers out there, that's not true," said Kathy Cross, a former CMSD elementary teacher who was laid off in 2011.

Cross reached out to Channel 3 News to tell her story. In September, she interviewed to fill an open spot and passed the pre-screening tests, and was selected by a principal. Then human resources wrote her to say she wouldn't be hired.

"I wanted to teach in Cleveland. I wanted to go back, and for whatever reason, and they won't tell me the reason, they didn't give me a reason," said Cross. 

 
With 20 years in a classroom, Cross thinks her qualification may be what killed her application and those of others.

"Because they don't want teachers with experience. They want teachers who don't have any experience. It's a money thing," she said. "Is that how a good business does their hiring?"

"You have to do what's best for the kids, and I just don't see that happening."

Here's the full response from Gordon, released to Channel 3 News in a statement:

This school year, the District needed 2,784 teachers to staff its classrooms, including 1,864 K-8 Teachers and 920 High School Teachers, Gordon said. "This is the first time in 15 years that CMSD has done any significant hiring, and the process has been further influenced by the resignation and retirement of 51 additional employees since the start of the school year," he said. "The process has been further influenced by our commitment to staffing schools in the most thoughtful and thorough way and by our conscious effort to keep our promise to reduce class sizes." These factors, he said, increased the number of teachers the district needed to hire this year-in total, 253 new teachers.

Since April, CMSD recalled 28 teachers and screened and interviewed 362 candidates for the 253 open teaching positions. Of those screened, 203 applicants were interviewed by building-based hiring teams, and 141 of the applicants were hired and are either completing their required background checks or are already teaching in CMSD classrooms.

• Currently, the district has 84 open teaching positions, representing 3% of the district's teaching workforce. CMSD is actively seeking to fill positions in Special Education, Bi-Lingual Education, and in Secondary English, Math and Science and other key areas.

CMSD is continuing its work to address remaining open positions by:
• Screening new applicants daily.
• Providing screened applicants' names to principals on at least a weekly basis
• Scheduling and widely advertising its job hiring fairs. Next week's hiring fair is at the Barbara-Byrd Bennett Center on Wednesday, October 30.
• In the meantime, CMSD has 476 active substitute teachers who have been filling not only the district's open positions, but who also cover teacher absences when they occur.

Blue Angels to return to the 2014 Cleveland National Air Show

The Blue Angels will roar across the skies again next summer at the 2014 Cleveland National Air Show.

A spokesman for the Navy Blue Angels Jet Demonstration Team has notified air show officials that the Department of Defense has approved the team's 2014 performance schedule.

Sequester cuts forced the cancelation of this year's performance and air show.

The tentative dates for the Cleveland National Air Show presented by Drug Mart are for the Labor Day weekend (August 30 to September 1).

The Cleveland National Air Show has been a Labor Day weekend tradition since 1964 bringing in 60,000 to 100,000 visitors. It is one of the region's biggest events with a annual economic impact estimated at $7.1 million for the region.

Trick-or-treat safety: Summit County deputies dropping in on sex offenders

DOWNLOAD OUR FREE WKYC APPS

SUMMIT COUNTY -- Halloween trick-or-treating can be a scare for parents that is all real.

It's an evening of fun, where breaking the usual rules about talking to strangers -- or taking food or candy from them -- is common.

In your neighborhood, do you know where your kids are safe?
That's what sheriff's deputies in Summit County are trying to ensure.

"Particularly this time of year, with a lot of foot traffic with children, people are out and about trick-or-treating, we just want to make sure everybody's safe and everybody is where they are supposed to be," said inspector Bill Holland. 

Sex offenders must register their address, and deputies are making surprise visits to some of nearly 1,000 sex offenders who live in Summit County.

"We're holding them accountable, letting them know that we're out here, keeping an eye," said Holland. 

Channel 3's Sara Shookman got to ride along and found everyone where they were supposed to be, except one offender, who wasn't home.

One sex offender even agreed to talk to us about this story.

"Actually I have no sympathy for me or the others, the way I see it, if you didn't want to do this, you shouldn't have committed the crime," said Benjamin Brackman.

Before you or your kids also knock on these doors, you're encouraged to do your homework.

An app put out by the Ohio Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force called the "Shaq Shield" finds sex offenders in your area with geolocation.

Moms like Cathy Stoffer say it's information she wants to know before Brandon, 6, puts on his soldier costume.

"You don't know who's next door to you or who's across the street or down the street," said Stoffer. "I check the houses out first. If I feel uncomfortable, I let him go to another house."

Failure to register as a sex offender or falsifying an address can have steep penalties, as great as the original crime for which an offender was convicted.

Cleveland students still waiting for teachers

DOWNLOAD OUR FREE WKYC APPS

CLEVELAND -- It may be hard to believe, but the first quarter of the school year is coming to an end.

And Twyonia Cooper's daughter, Taylor, is still being taught by substitute teachers at John Adams High School.

"She says, 'Mom, we need foreign language [to graduate], but we don't have a Spanish teacher,'" Cooper explains.

Cooper, the head of the Parent-Teacher Organization for John Adams, says 13 teaching positions are still being filled with substitutes.

At Monday night's Cleveland City Council meeting, Ward 2 Councilman Zack Reed expressed his outrage.

"They're sitting in the cafeteria. That's what they [students] told me. They're sitting in the cafeteria because they only have substitute teachers," he declared while addressing fellow councilmembers.

Angry parents, like Cooper, say they've had enough.

John Adams High School is one of 13 so-called "investment schools" -- struggling schools that were identified by the Cleveland Metropolitan School District to receive special attention, with the new funds and focus from the passage of a 15-mill levy last year.

Now, 10 weeks into the school year, Cooper says 20 percent of the teaching positions at John Adams are not permanently filled.

Parents are especially concerned, since students begin taking the Ohio Graduation Test next week. Students are required to pass the test in order to graduate.

"So how do you pass a test? How do you pass a foreign language test when you don't even have a foreign language teacher?" asked Reed.

Reed, along with parents and students plan to demand answers from CMSD CEO, Eric Gordon, and school board members at Tuesday night's board meeting.

Parents like Cooper feel like time is running out for their kids.

"I think that the school is being set up to fail. I really honestly do. And I don't know why," she said.
