Feds indict 12 locally in massive federal drug bust
MIDDLETOWN, Ohio (WKRC) - A dozen people from the Middletown area and Mexico were indicted by a federal grand jury for conspiracy, drug and money laundering in an investigation that started in California.
The U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Ohio said Donte Holdbrook was running a heroin and fentanyl ring in Middletown and selling drugs that came from the Sinaloa cartel in Mexico.
One of the men charged lived in Springdale. The indictment said Raul Trejo was using his house a pickup point for hundreds of thousands of dollars in drug money. Neighbors saw several cars outside of the home Tuesday afternoon.
They were raiding his truck. I didn't really know what was going on. I mean, he's been a great neighbor, Aaron Jones, one of Trejo's neighbors.
Aaron Jones was surprised to find out the cars outside belonged to federal agents. Federal agents said the money from the drug sales in Middletown were being picked up by people at Trejo's home and driven to San Diego where a member of the Sinaloa cartel laundered it and wired it back to Mexico. The Sinaloa cartel was headed by Jaoquin El Chapo Guzman, the notorious Mexican drug lord. Guzman's trial is scheduled to start in New York in September.
If we're going to turn the tide of this opioid epidemic then our enforcement efforts must reach beyond Ohio, beyond even the United States to cartels in Mexico that are the sources of supply, said U.S. Attorney Ben Glassman.

Holdbrook and his girlfriend are charged with recruiting people - including an auxillary police officer - to drive drugs and money across the country. The officer had been hired with the village of Seven Mile in Butler County in 2016. But police Chief Bill Back said Thursday Christopher Watkins never showed up to work despite being sworn in as an officer.
He was recruited because of his knowledge of law enforcement. So yes, that is disturbing and that is a serious detail, Glassman said.
The money from the drug sales was being driven from Middletown and Springdale to San Diego where agents said it was laundered and wired back to Mexico. Middletown police Chief Rodney Muterspaw said the fentanyl Holdbrook sold led to many overdoses in 2017. Then in August 2017, Muterspaw said Jettie and Courtney Bailey were pulled over in Preble County with more than 11 pounds of heroin and fentanyl with a street value of more than $1million. Muterspaw said that seizure led to a decrease in overdoses.
After that arrest in August, they dropped probably around 50% the first month. The second month it was probably over 60 because it dried up because that's where the fentanyl was coming from, Muterspaw said.
More than 40 people were charged in San Diego, Columbus, Kentucky, Kansas and Washington as part of the investigation. Glassman said his office is working with partners in California in the hope of bringing the cartel members who were indicted to Cincinnati to stand trial.
Investigators witnessed cash pick-ups on Tivoli Lane and at a West Chester Comfort Inn and Suites. Each transaction involved $25,000 to more than $180,000.

SUMMARY
=======
Toledo () is a city in and the county seat of Lucas County, Ohio, United States. Toledo is in northwest Ohio, at the western end of Lake Erie bordering the state of Michigan. The city was founded in 1833 on the west bank of the Maumee River, and originally incorporated as part of Monroe County, Michigan Territory. It was re-founded in 1837, after conclusion of the Toledo War, when it was incorporated in Ohio.
After the 1845 completion of the Miami and Erie Canal, Toledo grew quickly; it also benefited from its position on the railway line between New York City and Chicago. The first of many glass manufacturers arrived in the 1880s, eventually earning Toledo its nickname: The Glass City. It has since become a city with an art community, auto assembly businesses, education, healthcare, and local sports teams.
The population of Toledo as of the 2010 Census was 287,208, making it the 71st-largest city in the United States. It is the fourth-most-populous city in the U.S. state of Ohio, after Columbus, Cleveland, and Cincinnati. The Toledo metropolitan area had a 2010 population of 651,429, and was the sixth-largest metropolitan area in the state of Ohio, behind Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati, Dayton, and Akron.

Driving around Gainesville, Florida
Since the 1990s, suburban sprawl has been a concern for a majority of the city commissioners. The New Urbanization plan to gentrify the area between historic Downtown and the University of Florida may slow the growth of suburban sectors and spark a migration toward upper-level apartments in the inner city. The area immediately north of the university is also seeing active redevelopment. Many gentrification plans rely on tax incentives that have sparked controversy and are sometimes unsuccessful. University Corners, which would not have been proposed without a $98 million tax incentive program by the city, was to be a crowning jewel of the city's redevelopment efforts, 450 condos and hotel units and 98,000 square feet (9,100 m2) of retail space in eight stories covering three city blocks, on 3.4 acres (1.4 ha) purchased for $15.5 million. 19 thriving businesses were demolished in April 2007, but in May 2008 deposit checks were refunded to about 105 people who reserved units, and in July 2008 developers spent $120,000 to beautify the site, so we won't have this ugly green fence.
Gainesville's east side houses the majority of the city's African-American community, while the west side consists of the mainly student and white resident population. West of the city limits are large-scale planned communities, most notably Haile Plantation, which was built on the site of its eponymous former plantation.
The destruction of the city's landmark Victorian courthouse in the 1960s, which some considered unnecessary, brought the idea of historic preservation to the community's attention. The bland county building that replaced the grand courthouse became known to some locals as the air conditioner. Additional destruction of other historic buildings in the downtown followed. Only a small handful of older buildings are left, like the Hippodrome State Theatre, at one time a federal building. Revitalization of the city's core has picked up, and many parking lots and underutilized buildings are being replaced with infill development and near-campus housing that blend in with existing historic structures. There is a proposal to rebuild a replica of the old courthouse on a parking lot one block from the original location.
Helping in this effort are the number of areas and buildings added to the National Register of Historic Places. Dozens of examples of restored Victorian and Queen Anne style residences constructed in the city's agricultural heyday of the 1880s and 1890s can be found in the following districts:
Northeast Gainesville Residential District
Southeast Gainesville Residential District
Pleasant Street Historic District
Additionally, the University of Florida Campus Historic District, consisting of 11 buildings and 14 contributing properties, lies within the city's boundaries. Most of the buildings in the Campus Historic District are constructed in variations of Collegiate Gothic architecture, which returned to prominence in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Historic structures on the Register in and around downtown are:
Bailey Plantation House (1854)
Colson House (1905)
Matheson House (1867)
Thomas Hotel (1910)
The Old Post Office (now the Hippodrome State Theatre) (1911)
Masonic Temple (1908)
Seagle Building (1926), downtown Gainesville's tallest building.
Baird Hardware Company Warehouse (1890)
Cox Furniture Store (1875)
Cox Furniture Warehouse (c. 1890)
Epworth Hall (1884)
Old Gainesville Depot (1907)
Mary Phifer McKenzie House (1895)
Star Garage (1902)

SUMMARY

The American Broadcasting Company (ABC) is an American commercial broadcast television network that is a flagship property of Disney–ABC Television Group, a subsidiary of the Disney Media Networks division of The Walt Disney Company. The network is headquartered on Columbus Avenue and West 66th Street in Manhattan, New York City. There are additional major offices and production facilities elsewhere in New York City, as well as in Los Angeles and Burbank, California.
Since 2007, when ABC Radio (also known as Cumulus Media Networks) was sold to Citadel Broadcasting, ABC has reduced its broadcasting operations almost exclusively to television. The fifth-oldest major broadcasting network in the world and the youngest of the Big Three television networks, ABC is often nicknamed as The Alphabet Network, as its initialism also represents the first three letters of the English alphabet, in order.
ABC launched as a radio network on October 12, 1943, serving as the successor to the NBC Blue Network, which had been purchased by Edward J. Noble. It extended its operations to television in 1948, following in the footsteps of established broadcast networks CBS and NBC. In the mid-1950s, ABC merged with United Paramount Theatres, a chain of movie theaters that formerly operated as a subsidiary of Paramount Pictures. Leonard Goldenson, who had been the head of UPT, made the new television network profitable by helping develop and greenlight many successful series. In the 1980s, after purchasing an 80% interest in cable sports channel ESPN, the network's corporate parent, American Broadcasting Companies, Inc., merged with Capital Cities Communications, owner of several print publications, and television and radio stations. In 1996, most of Capital Cities/ABC's assets were purchased by The Walt Disney Company.
The television network has eight owned-and-operated and over 232 affiliated television stations throughout the United States and its territories. ABC News provides news and features content for select radio stations owned by Citadel Broadcasting, which purchased the ABC Radio properties in 2007 (however relaunched in 2014).
Food in the Garden 2014: The Great Lakes
The Great Lakes region was integral to the War of 1812, a front for several naval and land conflicts such as the assaults on Ft. Meigs and the Battle of Put-in-Bay. Once referred to as the Eden of the West, the Great Lakes region included hundreds of miles of untamed wilderness, rolling rivers, and dense forest encompassing modern day New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, and Michigan. The region was home to the Chippewa, Ottawa, and Iroquois tribes, who valued the waterways as a means of life. With the increasing demand for elbow room, European-Americans began to extend their reach westward into relatively unfamiliar territory with the hope of thriving off of abundant, fertile land. With them came exotic and—in some cases—invasive species never before seen in the region such as apples, peaches, swine, and other fare that would come to define the region. How did the introductions of new plant and animal species affect the cultural foodways of the people who lived there and continue to live in the region today?
200 years later, this region is the cultural center of the Midwest with over 32 million people living along the lakes. Although early settlements have come and gone, many heirloom seeds native to this region have stood the test of time and there is an ever-present effort to preserve them, not only for consumption but for their cultural significant as well.
Panelists: Jodi Branton, National Museum of American Indian; Rick Finch, interim director of the Glenn Miller Birth Place Museum and former site manager of Fort Meigs: Ohio’s War of 1812 Battleground; and Tim Rose, geologist at the National Museum of Natural History and cider maker with Distillery Lane.

34 family members arrested in drug bust; $400k in cocaine seized
ELYRIA, Ohio - Elyria Police, Lorain Police and the Lorain County Sheriff's Department arrested 34 people—all related to each other in some way—in connection with $400,000 of cocaine seized.
The investigation started last year and ramped up in the past two months, culminating in the arrests Friday, March 13 and Monday, March 16, investigators said during a press conference Wednesday.
Authorities seized 3.4 kilos of cocaine, worth $400,000, five guns and $85,000 in cash.
The leaders of what's been dubbed the Burns, Milton and Tillman Drug Trafficking Organization by authorities are Jarvis Burns, 33, of Sheffield Lake, who paid for the cocaine, and his cousin Travis Milton, 32, of Elyria, who orchestrated large-scale buys from two dealers in Cleveland.
The large-scale transactions were at Burns' and Milton's grandmother Grace Milton's home on Tattersal Court in Elyria.
They bought $43,000 of cocaine from Christopher Craig, 43 and Bernard Washington, 44, both of Cleveland, investigators said.

Interesting Haughton Traction Freight Elevator @ Valley Building, Rochester, NY
This elevator was probably originally installed sometime in the 1920s, but Haughton modded it in the 1960s for some reason. They seem to have kept the original controller, however, so they put a new crank on it instead of converting it to automatic. So if you ever wanted to know what it would look like if a crank-based manual elevator was installed in the 60s, now you know!

These are my natural REAL NAILS. That means NO overlays of any sort. No acrylic/gel/shelac or whatever else they use for fake nails. No TIPS either.
~No enhancements~
I don't bother with whitening my nails.
I don't have a nail care routine.
My routine is being careful with my hand movements.
I don't take vitamins or use special lotions or cremes or cuticle oils. I am not on a special diet, and no, I do not think any of those things matter as much as actually being careful with hand movements **and avoiding water contact**.
*Run away from any product claiming to give you strong, healthy, long natural nails. No product can change your genes*
If you already avoid water contact, and you watch your hand movements 100%, no oil or pill will change anything.
It's all about your hand movements. It's a genetic thing and nothing anyone can say will change the fact that your genes define your nails. Not some magic formula. Please don't fall for their scams. All they care about is making money off your misfortune.
The best advice I can give is:
watch your hand movements,
AVOID WATER.
DON'T BUFF OR WHITEN YOUR NAILS.
DON'T FILE YOUR NAILS.
USE GLOVES WHEN DOING DISHES.
Don't wash your hands more than 2-3 times a day.
Don't wash your hair without gloves on.
If that sounds silly, then pay $5 at the salon so they can wash your hair for you. especially if you have long hair.

Rats Invaded These Famous Restaurants When Business Closed for the Night
Rats running around in the open are a plague many major cities face but what happens when restaurants close for the night? The Inside Edition Rat Patrol headed to Philadelphia to see if rodents run amok once restaurants close their doors. The team visited well-known spots, including Jim's Steaks and Shake Shack, and they were shocked by what they found.
