Lake County to Florida’s Turnpike in Orange County Mary Anne Sherrod drives every couple of weeks to Orlando to get plaster for her pottery shop “I used to hate it because you go to Orlando and all this traffic,” she said “And now I go to Orlando and it's free as a bird and easy driving and then you come back toward Clermont and it's just backed up.” Close to 60,000 cars travel on State Road 50 everyday between U.S “There's only one main highway other than the turnpike that goes into Orlando and that's highway 50,” said Sherrod Heading east in the morning and west in the afternoon so much so the Florida Department of Transportation is now looking into a reliever road “It'll be more of a streamlined road I think similar to other expressways like the turnpike that kind of thing,” she told Spectrum News 13 as she drove on State Road 50 “More people would choose to take that route because they wouldn't stop like we are now at the traffic light here at Hancock Road and 50.” FDOT began a study earlier this year for a reliever road between U.S They’re currently analyzing the data to determine next steps another main road into Orlando,” said Sherrod Ohio — From inflation to supply chain disruptions and recent tariffs the pressure at the checkout line is real for families across the Tri-State a staggering 90% of Americans are changing how they shop due to rising grocery costs with 44% of shoppers swapping fancy labels for store brands and 38% fighting the urge for impulse buys communities aren't just complaining — they're taking action Flour Bee Bakery in Williamsburg is aiming to take some of that financial burden from families There was a line wrapped around the building for the grand opening this morning "The opening of Flour Bee Bakery is just a sign of all the great things happening in our county right now," said Joy Lytle WATCH: New bakery offers free meals to anyone in need The aroma of fresh-baked goods fills the air at the new establishment Beneath the sweetness lies a mission with deeper meaning "This community is really rallying around and supporting those in need,” said Lytle "We have several that are in need with that so it's great that somebody's going to come in and help with that need," customer Shirley Ogden said Lytle said the bakery's approach represents a growing movement across the region "What you saw today is happening more and more and more," Lytle said From organizations like Give Like a Mother providing essentials from food to healthcare "Things are expensive and even if you work sometimes you need a little help," customer Bonnie Feichtner said A percentage of the bakery's proceeds will go towards funding the Bee Fed Initiative sacks "I'm excited to see them flourish and grow that initiative," Feichtner said The initiative is just one way Williamsburg residents are stepping up to help eliminate financial stress for the community If you'd like to donate to the Bee Fed Initiative, you can visit the Flour Bee Bakery’s

Clermont-Ferrand According to the media and publicity consultant of the play Sara Haddadi the project was created with the goal of exploring lived intercultural cooperation through the performing arts bringing together young artists from both countries The production process included two in-person workshops in Tehran and Clermont-Ferrand a concluding workshop where participants transformed their rehearsals and intellectual exchanges into a shared stage performance This intercultural piece was performed in late April in French incorporating a variety of performance styles such as documentary theater The directors of the piece are Neda Shahrokhi from Iran and Yassaman Khajehi from France Vocal coaching was provided by Hasmik Karapetyan and the performers from both countries include Agathe Combettes Ohio (WKRC) — It's one thing to get an alert to check your doorbell camera and see somebody trying to break into cars It's quite another when you look again and see that person is wearing a gorilla mask Ryan Argo said that his Ring camera caught that visual outside his Amelia Park Drive home on Wednesday "They were actually shaking our car doors trying to see if they were unlocked and trying to get into them," said Argo they came back and checked my Cadillac again," said Argo Argo said that he set his alarm off again and the suspects ran away "One of them looked like he had a white ski mask the other one was in a gorilla mask and had black gloves on Argo said that his son's car mirror received some minor damage "They took off running when we set the alarm off and I guess with the chaos of the alarm going they ran into it and bent it back," said Argo The Clermont County Sheriff's Office said that they suspect that the three people in the video are teenagers They said that another vehicle in the area did have damage to its rear window The sheriff's office said a Facebook post indicated a door handle was also damaged they told Local 12 that nothing appears to have been taken from vehicles in the area The sheriff's office said that they are now setting up patrols in the area "I think the deterrence and that factor alone will help," said Sierra Henline After seeing the videos circulate on social media Henline is beefing up security outside the home she lives in with her husband and three children "We've had a camera for a while that we haven't put up outside of our house My husband got a lovely text message this morning that said it was going up today," said Henline A little added peace of mind for Henline and her family in an area she said has generally been safe "This is definitely out of the norm," said Henline is charged with aggravated murder in the death of a Hamilton County Sheriff's deputy The Hamilton County Sheriff runs the county jail Hinton is being held in the jail in Clermont County east of Cincinnati Court documents listed his home in Middletown “This was an agreement made between the Hamilton County sheriff’s office and Clermont County for what I was described as the defendant’s safety," Yates told The Enquirer "They did not want to have any questions about him being held in Hamilton County as a matter of safety because the officer had been a Hamilton County deputy sheriff.” Messages to the Hamilton County Sheriff's office and Sheriff Charmaine McGuffey were not returned Saturday Hinton was arraigned Saturday in Hamilton County Dozens of Hamilton County Sheriff's deputies solemnly stood guard in the municipal courtroom asked a sheriff's deputy if they had a safe environment in Clermont County and whether they'll return Hinton to Hamilton County on May 6 at 8:30 a.m The deputy responded "yes" to both questions Police say Hinton was the driver of the automobile that fatally struck a Hamilton County Sheriff's deputy The deputy was directing traffic ahead of commencement ceremonies at the University of Cincinnati According to police, Hinton Jr. is the father of a man who was shot and killed by Cincinnati Police in East Price Hill on May 1 The fatal crash at UC came roughly two hours after the Hinton family reviewed police body camera footage of an officer shooting Hinton's 18-year-old son near the Westview Condominiums' parking lot Ohio — West Clermont Local Schools is proposing a combined earned income and property tax levy on the May ballot to fund a master facilities plan but some residents are concerned about the financial burden the levy includes a property tax of 1.76 mills which would cost property owners $61.60 per year per $100,000 of appraised home value generating approximately $3.9 million per year the earned income tax is for .25% for every $50,000 of earned income generating approximately $5 million per year for the district This has raised significant concern among residents across the district One resident in Pierce Township reached out to us after feeling there wasn't enough information about it to inform the community saying 60% of her property tax already accounts for the school district "We've got a lot of retirees here on fixed income and we've also got a lot of young families who also have a lot of expenses raising additional people," Sparks said "It may force them to move out if you can't afford property taxes." Pierce Township resident expresses concerns about upcoming school tax levy on the May 5 ballot: Sparks said the levy is also a double hit for Pierce Township residents The police department is also asking voters to approve a 2.9 mills levy on the same ballot "I went online and did some research — actually my neighbor and I have been going around the neighborhood and handing out flyers saying West Clermont Superintendent Natasha Adams said this comes as the district struggles with overcrowding at schools and with an expectation that enrollment will pick up the area is expected to have "2,700 plus new dwellings in the form of houses and condos by 2030." Estimates show this will result in 1,351 new students in the district the reality is that your home address determines what kind of learning environment you have," Adams said and then some buildings that haven't really been addressed And the biggest challenge that we have facing us is that our middle school is the largest middle school in the state of Ohio." The Master Facilities Plan looks to house a fifth-sixth intermediate school and a seventh-eighth middle school on the current middle school campus This would move fifth graders out of the elementary schools The district says it would also allow the district to build a new elementary school and invest in current elementary buildings while making upgrades to safety When meeting with the superintendent at Merwin Elementary School she shared the building was built in the 60s and over time lost classroom space Now some of the classrooms are outside of the main building in modular classrooms there was once an asbestos outbreak due to broken floor tiles But Sparks said financial burdens on residents have made it hard for people like herself to take care of basic needs around their homes reassess what are their most basic needs right now and then maybe we could revisit this if it doesn't pass this year maybe in the next year or two" Sparks said When asked if the school district could delay its levy request "One of the reasons we have urgency is the fact that we have predicted increased enrollment; we're already running out of space," Adams said And so we propose a long-term solution instead of a short-term solution We also have on the table right now a partnership with the Ohio Facilities Commission; they are funding 20% of this facility project — that's money we can't pass up." The district has 16 months to show up with local share The fifth through eighth grade building won't open until 2029 and the current kindergartners will be the first class of fifth graders in the building Adams said waiting would make the project more expensive "We have a website that's specifically related to bond information There is a chart on there so that people can look at their income as well as their property values to figure out how this exactly impacts them There are videos on finance that are short clips We have built a statement of facts that we've shared some of our one-pagers will be sent out in the mailboxes so they will have that in their mail to really explain the entire story And we continue to have town halls and opportunities at PTO meetings."
