Parma will have to postpone their celebration of Serie A safety as Gabriel Strefezza and some truly shocking finishing gave Como victory While Cesc Fabregas and co were already safe, the Ducali needed one last push to be mathematically sure of Serie A status Valentin Mihaila and Gabriel Charpentier were just some of the injury absentees See how it all unfolded on the Liveblog. as Patrick Cutrone’s weak finish was straight at Zion Suzuki while Jonathan Ikone’s acrobatic back-heel flick was over the bar from a Maxence Caqueret cross Suzuki got down quickly for a fantastic one-handed reaction save to keep out the Marc Kempf header on a corner Parma wasted a golden opportunity to take the lead moments later as Ange-Yoan Bonny managed to squirm to the by-line and flick it back off the outside of the boot only for Mateo Pellegrino to blast over from six yards The hosts came out fighting for the second half a crucial Maxi Perrone block preventing a tap-in on the Antoine Hainaut pull-back then on the resulting corner Pellegrino’s header bounced off the ground and onto the crossbar Emanuele Valeri couldn’t get enough on the ball as he came sliding in to meet a Hainaut cross at the back post while Nico Paz forced Suzuki to fingertip a very long-range scorcher over the bar Como really should’ve taken the lead on 72 minutes when Ikone sprung the offside trap and sent Suzuki to ground with a shimmy as Valeri tried to return the pass to Jacob Ondrejka rather than go for goal and the move fell apart ITALY – MAY 03: Nico Paz of Como competes for the ball with Emanuele Valeri of Parma calcio during the Serie A match between Parma and Como at Stadio Ennio Tardini on May 03 (Photo by Alessandro Sabattini/Getty Images)Moments later as Douvikas sprung the offside trap on a ball over the top and his awful first touch turned into an accidental assist for Gabriel Strefezza to sweep home from nine yards The hosts simply should’ve equalised in stoppages when first Dennis Man forced a tricky save from Jean Butez from the edge of the area then ran into the box and was ready to tap in the roll across from the left from six yards forcing another Butez save and seeing his rebound deflected over by teammate Delprato Comment * document.getElementById("comment").setAttribute( "id" "a63771266b72d5e724e75be14d436dd1" );document.getElementById("i09170fc1b").setAttribute( "id" fixtures and results for the latest from Serie A © Copyright 2025 Rocket Sports Network Ltd LEINSTER CAPTAIN CAELAN Doris has emerged as a doubt for this summer’s British and Irish Lions tour as he prepares to undergo a procedure for a shoulder injury Leinster today revealed that Doris would undergo the procedure this week on a shoulder injury and coach Jacques Nienaber says that Doris could be ruled out from anywhere between four weeks and six months but that they will know more once the procedure is carried out Doris picked up the injury in Leinster’s Champions Cup semi-final defeat to Northampton Saints and has already been ruled out of their URC clash with Zebre this weekend Doris could be ruled out of the Lions tour to Australia this summer The squad is due to be announced this Thursday “If there is not too much structural damage – it is tough to say my physio knowledge is a little bit woozy – but I would say that can be anything between 4-8 weeks,” Nienaber explained at a Leinster press conference today “If there is structural damage it can go more than that so it depends on what they find when they go in and have a look at it “Hopefully for him it is not that bad but you do the assessment and my gut feeling when I saw him come off I had never seen him come off with an injury so he is a hard man “When he came off my gut was that this doesn’t look good They will go in and scope and see what is wrong.” Rob Russell and James Ryan have returned to full training with Leinster following their return from injury while there is no update on Jordan Larmour Access to the comments facility has been disabled for this user Create an email alert based on the current article so that's an achievement that won't be missed by us but we know we've got three more games to keep building on that."

When all the players competing for the back three positions are fit….who starts? Freeman on one wing and either Ramm or Hendy on the other with Seabrook or Sleightholme competing as well Therefore they had two of the three starting Nobody was calling Hendy a second rate B team player i know you are twisting the topic of conversation rather than acknowledge you were exaggerating on the original topic I agree England are the 2nd best team up North now…still a young team with a lot of growth yet The fact that Aussie have the belief after their victory at Twickenham bodes well be interesting to see the make up of the team by Farrell Alun Wyn Jones showed in the 3rd test what captaincy is all about The Wallabies were smashed up front and it didn’t matter who played at centre A most excellent comment.

what I see from all the way over hear they’ve believed they haven’t had the players but even that is possible more adding to rather than changing He’s obviously changing things on the field though which is why we all pretty much didn’t expect results from them this year and definitely with the sort of encouraging results that make you believe you’re on the right track Would be a superb outfit if they put that all together with trying to find a better way to manage the unique challenge of having a national representee team as your make up I can only imagine what problems the old Auckland Blues team would have encountered but they might want to look at the Crusaders example While not the same scope the Crusaders star players were key All Blacks who often just meandered through the season and that affected results but were always able to turn it on at the back end when it counted Don't mean SA getting kicked out of Europe altogether I mean SA withdrawing from Europe to get out of a 12 month season when playing in URC seems to be having an impact on the Springboks Confronted with that its entirely possible SA would re-enter a restructured SR or create its own entirely domestic comp then seek international club play on a Champions Cup type basis with its domestic teams having 20 plus scheduled games a season it'll achieve all its financial/popularity/competitiveness goals without having to go for a 12 month season Not good if he can’t play well off the bench lol I have him down as my super sub We’re all just waiting for you to comment on something other than everything Canterbury You are boredom maximus and just can’t see it Hilarious richer countries have been announcing the death of NZ rugby since rugby first became an international sport and NZ started beating the crap out of the Northern hemisphere teams There is so much resentment and hatred and frustration that NZ rugby It'll be there for the next twenty years Biggest issue was the selection they got it totally wrong and the most likely reason for it was over confidence The same arrogance that saw them off the boil emotionally and lacking in the intensity required to combat Northampton’s ferocious start All of which led them to a point where they were unable to execute at the death and capitalise on the clear advantages held at that stage Leinster got exactly what they deserved from that match and it was very amusing to watch Kearney squirming post match I'll repeat what I said Hopefully you'll get the point this time Despite your claim I never mentioned financials I focused purely on the political consequences for SA rugby structures of the Springboks decline in RWC's My focus in relation to that was entirely on the issue of competitiveness has a much better structured domestic season now than it had in SR Domestic teams playing in a round robin comp they are in every year is a domestic comp for competitive/development/financial purposes SA's URC teams have to run significantly bigger squads again a function of having a proper full season for those teams That is something NZ will eventually emulate the URC's popularity/financials are greater in SA because its a full season and its teams are winning [again something I recognised] in the distinctly lower quality URC whereas it spent almost all its time in SR losing in much higher quality but shorter comp The story is radically different in the much higher quality European comps where the SA teams are getting crushed year after year what will be the political consequences in SA of the Springboks decline in RWC/WR standings Will the financial/popularity advantages of getting a proper domestic season be seen to be damaging the Springboks given the distinctly lower quality of the URC in comparison with SRP My bet is such a blame game is almost certain To give themselves a substantial domestic comp and keep the Springboks in TRC [They have no choice] SA are being forced to play 12 months a year have developed a habit of improvising solutions instead of building durable structures A 12 month season is just another improvisation And as for the fairy story that being in Europe is better prep for RWC/Test rugby than SR SA teams only play Ireland/Wales/Scotland/Italy in the URC And SA teams don't play in Europe long enough to benefit from playing against club teams from England and France And if you think that playing in Ireland/Wales/Scotland on a wet winters day is less challenging than playing in NZ then you're welcome to your short memory PARMA: Astaldi, Mena, D'Intino, Trabucchi,

When a Parma Heights finance employee opened an email in June 2023 The email from a contractor who fixed a road as part of a joint Cuyahoga County and Parma Heights project sought payment for the city’s portion of the bill—$504,576.01 The city wired the money to the account listed in the email just as the city does about every day to pay for expenses Except the email didn’t come from the contractor It came from scammers who had hacked into a city email patiently monitored the account and struck when the opportunity presented itself “I ultimately found out that they had been in the system for three to four weeks just looking for invoices,” said Parma Heights Police Chief Steven Greene who investigated the case before his promotion to the top cop in the city Greene said the city’s cyber insurance covered more than half of the loss Greene’s investigation led him to work with J.P a police department in Washington and ultimately with the FBI who on Tuesday arrested one of the suspected hackers Authorities say the Opute’s group used the same “email takeover” scam to swindle a Bedford commercial construction company out of $337,000 and a car dealership in Everett the group stole more than $1.1 million in less than a week a Nigerian citizen living in Sandy Springs was charged Wednesday in federal court in Cleveland with conspiracy to commit wire fraud and bank fraud conspiracy to commit money laundering and aggravated identity theft an attorney who represented Opute at his initial appearance in Georgia Opute is a Nigerian Afrobeats artist who released several songs in the late 2000s and early 2010s District Judge Bridget Brennan in Cleveland reversed a Georgia magistrate judge’s order that would have allowed Opute to be released from custody with a GPS monitor on Friday morning Brennan ordered that Opute remain in custody and be sent to Cleveland to face arraignment “I’m shocked and very happy they were able to identify someone in the United States and make an arrest,” Greene said Opute’s group sent so-called phishing emails containing a link or attachment that allowed hackers unfettered access to the email account they just sat back and watched,” Greene said The group sifted through emails to find out what expenses the city paid out and to whom they hid the real invoice in a spam folder and sent a nearly identical email that included the wire information for the hacker’s bank accounts Greene said in prior iterations of the scam the email would contain numerous errors that would alert someone that it could be fake was a nearly identical email from the one that was initially sent they had changed a lower-case “l” to a “1.” The payment $504,000 payment was sent on June 6 No one knew the money had gone to the wrong account until nine days later when the hackers tried it again they copied an email from a contractor who built a retaining wall in the city and sought a $469,200 payment The money was initially wired to the hackers but a security officer at the city’s bank flagged it as fraud and canceled it Morgan’s security officer and eventually other law enforcement officers around the country who had been investigating similar scams Greene said he found the group created more than 150 email accounts that mirrored construction companies Investigators found that once the money was wired the hackers sent it through several other bank accounts and pass-through accounts before withdrawing the money using more than 100 pre-paid debit cards Opute also withdrew his cut of the money at ATMs in the Greater Atlanta area Opute and others used real people’s stolen identities to load the debit cards they tracked his whereabouts through the GPS device in his phone and followed him from his $699,000 home as he drove around in his gold Range Rover FBI agents called Opute before raiding his home He immediately reset one phone before leaving the house with a woman and a child Attorney Megan Miller wrote in a court filing Miller wrote that Opute admitted to living at the home and that FBI agents found clothes that matched ATM surveillance photos of a masked Opute withdrawing cash Opute sold his home for $770,000 and his Range Rover Investigators arrested Opute on April 29 during a traffic stop and found him with several cellphones in asking for a judge to sign off on keeping Opute in custody wrote that he lied several times during his initial court appearance in Georgia including about where he lived and about his status as a citizen Opute said during the hearing he became a U.S but Miller wrote he is a lawful permanent resident and was twice denied citizenship He also lied about how often he traveled internationally and his employment history Miller said Opute had access to cash and bank accounts in Nigeria and had dozens of fake identities “Opute’s use of these fake identities helped him hide his identity and distance himself from efforts to recover the stolen proceeds,” the prosecutor wrote “Opute now may similarly convert this ready access to other people’s identities and financial information not only flee from law enforcement under an assumed name but to obtain the financial means by which to do so.” Adam Ferrise covers federal courts at cleveland.com and The Plain Dealer.

Eau de CologneRead more The Best Amber Acqua di Parma CologneAcqua Di Parma Buongiorno Eau de ParfumRead more To understand and properly appreciate the olfactory signature found in all Acqua di Parma fragrances, you have to go back to where the story began. The original Colonia eau de cologne set a precedent when it launched in 1916 as the ultimate fresh, clean, and “gentlemanly” scent—an accolade I (and many others) would argue remains unchallenged to this day. Timeless and sophisticated (and the epitome of Italian style, charm and grace) not only has it stood the time by seducing a faithful but demanding clientele (Cary Grant was a big fan), it has also formed the basis for many of ADP’s other crowd-pleasing creations. Opening with its unmistakable blend of golden citrus fruits, radiant lemon, Calabrian bergamot, and orange, it dries down through an aromatic heart and settles on a sweet but woody base. I’ve tested and lived with many fragrances over the years and honestly believe it’s impossible not to fall for the captivating elegance of this iconic, stealthy scent. The herbaceous notes of shiso (from the mint family) and rosemary then take the scent on a very aromatic journey that ends on a comforting musk and cedarwood base. While it may lack some of the finesse of the OG Colonia, it has a more daring and addictive personality; in my opinion, its appeal over other Colonia hybrids lies in its spicy, warming, and long-lasting trail. At the crossroads of art and innovation, Buongiorno is Acqua di Parma’s latest and most pioneering standalone fragrance, an ode to the Italian art of living and finding beauty in even the smallest moments and rituals. Crafted through a first-of-its-kind, co-distillation process, where petitgrain and basil were distilled simultaneously to create one single olfactory note, it conjures the fresh and liberating sensation of walking barefoot through grass in the morning dew. In the right corner, you have the original luminous opening of Colonia, with transparent notes of bergamot and rose, in the left corner, the rarest and most highly prized variety of agarwood, native to Laos, which differs from the classic oud for its seductive roundness. The combination, sprinkled with the warm, vibrant crackle of pink pepper, sweet raspberry, clove, earthy patchouli, and a dash of cinnamon, is electrifying—a killer evening fragrance built for seduction. Evoking the energy, sun, and colors of the Italian Mediterranean, Acqua di Parma’s Blu Mediterraneo collection instantly brings on the summer and gets you in the holiday mood. Each of the fragrances in the line pairs a signature indigenous ingredient with a region: i.e Bergamot di Calabria, Mandrino di Sicilia, or my favorite, Fico di Amalfi.

over the weekend As Juventus walked off the field at the Tardini at halftime Wednesday evening not only did they suddenly find themselves down on the scoreboard but also in search of answers It had just been an opening 45 minutes in which they looked more like their old ineffective selves rather than the team that had strong first halves in the previous games under their new manager Juventus suffered their first defeat under Igor Tudor and looked a lot like the team that struggled for a large portion of the time during the time in which the man he replaced was manager Juve were incredibly ineffective in attack and had one Lloyd Kelly-centric mistake at the back clear the way for Parma — who entered Matchday 33 just a couple of points above the relegation zone — to make their goal right before the half stand after the break and claim a 1-0 victory over Tudor’s squad that is potentially a major setback in the quest to finish in the top four With pretty much everybody else around Juventus winning either this weekend or Wednesday Juve’s chance to get back into fourth place went up in smoke with a whimper rather than in a performance in which they were just completely unlucky Or maybe you would like to describe in a much more profanity-heavy kind of way I certainly said a few things of that ilk as I watched the time in the second half tick away and wonder when Juve’s players would show any sort of sense of urgency to push for their first goal of the day got three huge points to try and achieve their main objective during these final six games of the 2024-25 season with the way the other postponed fixtures went Wednesday Juventus are still in fifth place and part of a five-team logjam from Bologna in fourth to Fiorentina in eighth that is separated by all of four points Juventus didn’t deserve three points against Parma they didn’t even deserve the single point if they had somehow scored in the second half and pulled even with a Parma side that hadn’t beaten Juventus in the last decade let’s just have some fun with a few numbers from this one: This was the kind of performance that we saw from Thiago Motta’s Juventus — the kind of game where they were ineffective in the final third and have one singular mistake at the back come back to bite them in the backside That’s exactly what happened against Parma Passes meant for Juventus players were going straight to somebody in a Parma kit or just completely out of bounds The strong starts that we had seen the last couple of games just weren’t there at the Tardini Tudor had done some very good things through his first three games as Juve manager but how he had his team looking against Parma was far from that Juventus didn’t have a shot on goal in the opening 45 minutes Taking out the highest paid player in the league at the half saw some improvement but that was just because it couldn’t get much worse Their xG for a team that took almost 20 shots and had two-thirds of the possession was a paltry 0.84 They knew for the last three days that they needed to win to get back into fourth place and match what Bologna did against the league leaders and defending champions over the weekend Like we said on the podcast this week Juventus just couldn’t afford to screw up these very winnable games against teams that are in the bottom quarter of the Serie A table Pretty much fumble away three valuable points with a performance like they had against Parma I get that Parma are much improved under Cristian Chivu but what we saw Wednesday night isn’t going to get many points against any team let alone two direct rivals for a spot in the top four like we’re about to see in a couple of weeks Ohio — After one man’s intense experience to get his dog back he said they have finally been reunited thanks to a unique operation by Parma Police to catch the suspect The quest to find the man’s dog all began after the victim posted a desperate social media post on Saturday asking for the safe return of his two French bulldogs “We got a contact from someone stating that they redeemed one of the dogs The other one was taken by another vehicle,” said the dog owner who did not want to reveal his name out of fear of retaliation The victim said the good Samaritan returned one of his dogs and even gave the dog owner the vehicle’s license plate number and description of the passenger who allegedly took the other dog The dog owner said he then used this information to get Parma Police Officer Bryan Bernow involved in the investigation “He let me know that he put out a reward on Facebook for $1,000 He didn’t get anybody to bite on the $1,000 letting him know that she had the dog,” said Bernow Police said the story of how she found the dog seemed suspicious and didn’t make sense so Bernow said he started an operation to get the dog back once he said he got approval from Sergeant Matt Burkhart “He was telling me about the information he was getting from the original dog owner that someone was messaging him trying to capitalize on the reward He asked if we could set up a location and stay in the area,” said Burkhart which led to the arrest and recovery of the victim’s dog at the intersection of State Road and Torrington Avenue in Parma in less than 24 hours In body camera video News 5 received from the Parma Police Department the man in question appeared to tell officers he didn’t take the dog as he was being handcuffed You took the dogs,” said one of the responding officers and I still thank them for that from how fast and how efficient they were on it Police said this is the first operation of its kind and one that has created a lasting impact for the dog owner so it’s like you have to take any action you can on it,” said the dog owner The suspect has been charged with felony theft and made his first court appearance on Tuesday *This article contains a graphic image of one of the victims* An 88-year-old man is under investigation as the alleged driver who hit a mom and her toddler in a Marc's grocery store parking lot Friday night RELATED: 'You hit my son and left him there': 2-year-old boy, mother injured in alleged hit-skip officers responded to the parking lot of Marc's after 32-year-old Shalonte Maddox and her 2-year-old son were struck by a vehicle while she was pushing him in a cart While police said the vehicle made no attempt to stop Maddox recalled the driver stopping for a brief moment before traveling eastbound toward Ridge Road "When the car stopped and then decided to keep going He rolled from up under the car," she told me on Sunday Maddox added that several people witnessed the incident and not only ran to her aid but also tried flagging the driver who allegedly plowed through the pair to stop but you hurt my baby," Maddox previously told me Maddox said Genesis now has a banged-up arm Parma Police hadn't released any further information about the crime Parma Police confirm a search warrant was granted Monday for the vehicle While the driver has been possibly identified that individual has not been taken into custody as of Wednesday morning but Parma Police told News 5 they have an idea of who it may be "Due to the man’s family connection to a civilian employee of the Parma Police Department the investigation has been turned over to the Parma Heights Police Department to prevent a conflict of interest Parma Heights Police will take over the investigation and pursue applicable criminal charges," the Parma Police Department shared Maddox said she does not understand how law enforcement can find the suspect who severely hurt her child and not charge him at this time "The first thing on my mind is how are you What made you decide to leave out the parking lot Because anyone else would have been in jail for sure." I called Parma Police Public Information Officer Scott Traxler on Tuesday "Despite the connection this 88-year-old suspect has [The alleged crime] would still be considered a felony." Traxler said that for the sake of the investigation the department wants to keep it out of the Parma court system so "it's clean" and to avoid a conflict of interest Traxler added that by handing the case to Parma Heights Police it can bypass the courts and go directly to a Cuyahoga County Grand Jury we'll move forward on charges," Traxler told me over the phone I then asked Maddox if she felt like her case would be handled appropriately by having a different police department review the evidence "If they didn't do anything at the Parma [Police Department] because of conflict of interest how can I depend on you guys to do anything as well You could throw the conflict of interest out It's the part that he's 88 and it happened in Parma I feel like they should be handling [it] and if that's the case is whoever he's [involved with] they shouldn't have anything to do with it." Maddox initially told me on Sunday that justice for her son looked like jail time and criminal charges "I don't want to see an 88-year-old man go to jail I just want justice for my son to be served," Maddox stated "He's the one who has to grow up with a scar across his forehead and I would never let anyone think that it's OK." Genesis is already making a speedy recovery from what we could see on Tuesday Maddox said this situation ending in court is the only way she sees appropriate "At some point the world needs to know that after a certain age you should have to take another driver test to see if you mentally emotionally could do this like how they have to take eye exams Elderly people should have to do something to see if they could still be on the road," Maddox said "Do you forgive the person who did this?," I asked Maddox Maddox said doctors estimate Genesis' arm will be back to normal in about a month and he'll continue to have headaches for a while due to the impact on his head "I'd say about two months and he'll be back," Maddox said Maddox said Genesis begins occupational therapy on Friday To have him still in my arms just means everything to me." Maddox said officials have told her the driver suspected of hitting her and Genesis does have insurance but that she hasn't been provided with much more information The Parma Police Department released the following statement Wednesday evening: Editor's Note: The previous headline of the story stated that a person had not been arrested because of their familial ties to the Parma Police Department Police say that the reason no one has been arrested yet is because the investigation is still ongoing Share on FacebookShare on X (formerly Twitter)Share on PinterestShare on LinkedInParma Ohio (WOIO) - A Cleveland man was charged and his bond set Monday afternoon after he allegedly fled from a traffic stop and caused an elementary school to lockdown on Friday is charged with failure to comply and his bond was set at $100,000 in Parma Municipal Court Parma Police arrested Smith after he allegedly fled from officers during a traffic stop Friday afternoon they attempted a traffic stop on a Chevy Equinox near Brookpark Road and Chevrolet Boulevard for an equipment violation Smith then took off from officers at a high rate of speed eastbound on Brookpark Rd Assisting officers successfully deployed stop-strips flattening a rear tire of the man’s vehicle the man continued to flee until the vehicle came to a stop in the area of Brookpark Road and West 54th St he then took off southbound with a gun in hand the suspect discharged one round from the gun but did not hit anyone nearby Thoreau Park Elementary School was put on lockdown and a perimeter was set up with the assistance of neighboring police departments Smith was found in the 5600 block of Bradley Ave This case is currently under investigation No word yet on when Smith will be back in court By Avery WilliamsPublished: Apr 2025 at 2:03 PM EDTEmail This LinkShare on FacebookShare on X (formerly Twitter)Share on PinterestShare on LinkedInPARMA HEIGHTS Ohio (WOIO) - Parma Heights police say a standoff overnight ended peacefully with the suspect in custody Officers say they were called out just before midnight Sunday for an armed man walking on Stumph Road near Big Creek Parkway Officers say a standoff that lasted about two hours broke out when they found him the standoff came to an end with no one getting hurt and no shots being fired Police say the man was taken to a local hospital Ohio — A former pond and catch basin in Parma that had been deemed an "eye-sore" for many years is finally undergoing an upgrade Crews are hard at work on the Veterans Memorial Basin in Veterans Memorial Park Residents told us they outright despised how it looked and nearby homeowners say its function was failing as well Officials say they're now laser-focused on fixing flooding issues in this area and alleviating the stress of nearby homeowners who are constantly cleaning up after significant storm events Arkadij Prodan is eager for a new view on his daily morning walks through Veterans Memorial Park off of State Road in Parma "It looked like all kinds of stuff growing there and all that," Prodan said the longtime resident has strolled past the old Veterans Memorial pond and overgrown basin "That drain was always plugging up there and all that I assume they came up with a better idea now While it's currently surrounded by fencing converting the Veterans Memorial basin into an expanded dry detention basin they are removing trees to expand the space and grating the area around it They will also relocate a storm sewer that will discharge into the basin The Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District announced plans to invest more than $4 million into the project It's a multi-fold effort to beautify the area for generations to come they say it's more important to decrease the nightmarish flooding and repeat property damage to nearby homeowners "People get water in the basements and things like that "Veterans Memorial Park Storm water Basin is designed to alleviate basement backups from the downstream neighborhood by holding back nearly 16 million gallons of storm water," Nicole Velez Watershed Team Leader at Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District Officials say the completed project will be aesthetically pleasing with a walking path They aim to emulate the success and end product of the Upper Ridgewood Basin which is located near the Shoppes at Parma RELATED: 'Pleasantly surprised, not an eyesore.'

Vaughn credited Smialek for helping the district win the Ohio Department of Education and Workforce's Momentum Award in 2023 "The momentum award is for districts and buildings that have demonstrated outstanding improvement in achievement while also continuing to show growth." Vaughn said Smialek also oversaw the controversial implementation of a consolidation plan to save the district money which resulted in the closures of Parma Park Elementary as well as the demolition of the latter two Process for selecting the next superintendent Vaughn mentioned that he has already contacted two consulting firms as the Board of Education gears up for the superintendent search "I've formulated little scenarios and bios on each of those consulting firms to pass on to my board members," Vaughn said "And then we'll have a meeting and we'll talk about which one we want to do or if we want to try to do it ourselves But I think a consulting firm is the way to go." Vaughn said the process will also include surveying parents Volunteers will serve on an interview committee as part of the search Vaughn expressed his desire to have a new superintendent in place by summer and to avoid naming an interim leader One of the major issues facing the next superintendent is finances The Parma City School District's five-year forecast predicts an $18.4 million deficit in fiscal year 2027 Mike DeWine unveiled his biennial executive budget proposal The Ohio Legislative Service Commission has released details on what the proposed budget would mean in terms of funding for school districts The commission is a nonpartisan agency that provides the Ohio General Assembly with drafting Its analysis indicated that if the governor's proposal is passed by the Ohio Legislature the Parma City School District would see a $2.5 million cut in state funding for the 2025-2026 school year and a $1.1 million cut for the 2026-2027 school year 6.9 mill emergency operating levy on the May 2025 ballot that would generate more than $23 million It would cost taxpayers $242 for each $100,000 of the county fiscal officer’s appraised value "The need for us to pass this levy this May Ohio — Just when Shalonte Maddox thinks she can take a breath RELATED: 'You hit my son and left him there': 2-year-old boy, mother injured in alleged hit-skip Maddox and her 2-year-old son Genesis were leaving a Parma Marc's on March 21 Surveillance footage shows the pair was about halfway through a crosswalk before a vehicle struck them Maddox walked away with a few bumps and bruises but her son was left lying in the middle of the road with his forehead cut open and a broken arm "It's not fair to him to have to now be a young black male growing up with a scar across his head and everybody wondering what happened to you He forever has to tell this story," Maddox told me Wednesday The driver who hit Maddox and her son took off RELATED: 88-year-old driver under investigation for allegedly hitting Parma mom and toddler A then-unidentified 88-year-old man was under investigation as the alleged driver of the car the Parma Police Department handed the case off to Parma Heights Parma Heights Police will take over the investigation and pursue applicable criminal charges," the Parma Police Department previously shared RELATED: 88-year-old facing 6 charges in connection to hit-skip that injured 2-year-old The case was presented to a grand jury on Tuesday and George Balasko of Parma was charged with the following: Balasko is the father of a civilian employee at the Parma Police Department.According to the agency primarily serves as the Facility Manager as well as the Radio System Administrator He is the Commander of the Parma Auxiliary Unit "The Auxiliary unit currently has 17 volunteer auxiliary officers who assist with public safety duties certified police officer; he is a civilian employee," a Parma Police Department spokesperson told me "This unfortunate incident involving his father has been difficult for George." Maddox said she feels even more sorrow as the person who is accused of driving into her and her son is elderly I wanted to believe that it wasn't him actually driving but now that it has been confirmed that it is him driving "The the law is the law and no matter his age his age shouldn't define who he is and any connection to the Commander of the Auxiliary Unit — it's still a crime." She plans to show up to every court appearance of Balasko's as a reminder to him of who she is I need him to know he hurt my feelings," Maddox stated Her journey for justice doesn't end in the courtroom Ohio law does not currently allow for the Bureau of Motor Vehicles to require additional testing of individuals based on age lawmakers like Representative Bernie Willis (R-Springfield) are looking to tweak the law so there is additional testing for elderly drivers "We kind of came to that realization after working with the Department of Public Safety on a related but separate issue that has to do with school bus safety and an incident that happened here where a person from outside the country with a questionable license had hit one of those school buses and it overturned and the child was killed," Willis explained Willis said it forced some tough conversations about how a person obtains and maintains their driver's license especially if they're in a "special category." an 88-year-old gentleman who has potentially forgotten a lot of maybe what they learned about driving in the past and maybe has gotten to the point where their physical dexterity with their hands and their feet and their motions and their reaction times and things get less," Willis said "I believe at this point we're going to come up with some legislation that will drive us to special categories that we will fall into whether they are by the country that are going to require more experience." Willis said what that may look like is this "special category" individual receiving additional time with a registered instructor and potentially more time with a licensed driver to "make sure that you're doing the right things." "We have a problem when we get to the testing portion that it is another one of those "Why do you think it's taken so long to get to this point?," I asked Willis My guess is this: Our driving environment has gotten exponentially more dangerous for lots of reasons because of distracted driving because of the things that people have begun to rely on in their cars that might degrade their actual ability to drive in bad situations," Willis explained "We're starting to see more of these things come to fruition in bad ways." As Willis brainstorms the right way to approach legislation of this type he's thinking anyone 70 and older should be re-evaluated for driving at the time of their license renewal and that those drivers should have to take additional testing no more than every four years individuals will not be able to retake the exam as quickly as current BMV standards allow we'll have some of those rules that we talked about," Willis said "We had some good ideas of things that we thought needed to be changed and we're kind of going to meet in the middle and figure out what we can do to best serve folks on the road and keep us as safe as we can." Maddox said she's hopeful to see a change in who is allowed to drive in the near future Ohio — Orange barrel season is upon Northeast Ohio as the weather begins to warm up The city of Parma plans to repair and resurface 40 roads this year News 5 Reporter Caitlin Hunt spoke with residents in Dogwood Estates who were fed up with the potholes and bumps that line their streets RELATED: Parma residents sick of decades' worth of potholes on Sierra Oval Kevin Sparrow of Parma told News 5 Friday that the potholes around town have cost him some money “I've lost two rims and two tires to potholes and some fender damage just this year," Sparrow said Amanda Leopold of Parma has also had a not so great experience with the city's roads like they honestly—especially with my car— they throw me and [it] like...messes up traffic," said Leopold it feels like a rollercoaster when I'm on it Broadview Road is not on the city of Parma's initial list of nine projects to tackle but it could be part of the broader list of 40 projects throughout the year 40 roads are slated to be repaved and repaired throughout the year They took care of streets a lot better before," said Louis Ciric who has lived on Coventry Drive since 1993 He and his neighbors have been pushing for the street to be paved for some time and it looks better for a neighborhood," said Ciric Phone: 216-696-6525 Toll Free: 1-800-869-6525 Address: 1404 East 9th Street, Cleveland, OH 44114   Share this Page The weather outside was frightful with snow, sleet and freezing rain, but it didn’t deter the large crowd of faithful who gathered in St. Anthony of Padua Church in Parma on Feb friends and representatives from other parishes where Father Andrew Hoover had ministered Bishop Edward Malesic installed Father Hoover “I hope that’s OK with you,” he asked the congregation which responded with applause as Father Hoover beamed the bishop had the new pastor preach during the installation liturgy “I like to know what I’m giving you,” he quipped Father Hoover said he spent some time trying to remember what was significant about Feb 8 when he recalled it was the birthday of one of his grandparents He now has a second reason to remember the date Father Hoover said he is filled with gratitude for the opportunity to serve as St Anthony’s pastor and to fulfill “the hopes and dreams of what we can do together as a parish.” the new pastor said he “has no business doing this My family reminds me of who I am and where I’ve been.” As he scanned the nearly full church he spotted people representing various times in his life “You’ve loved me into being where I am,” Father Hoover told the congregation The concelebrants included priests who have touched his life throughout the years North Ridgeville pastor; Father Joe Koopman Anthony Parish and a seminary professor who taught Father Hoover prior to his ordination in 2016; and friends from the seminary and the presbyterate there is something important about Jesus’ death and Resurrection no matter where we are in our call to conversion lay people etc.,” Father Hoover told the faithful “No matter where we are on our journey there will be a time when we can minister as God wants us to.” He said God has great power over our lives and through prayer and with him The Knights of Columbus from several parishes also participated in the Mass forming an honor guard as the clergy processed in and out of the church Members of the parish staff, finance and parish councils were introduced to the new pastor, who pledged to seek their counsel and advice.

locate a man who fled from officers during a traffic stop Monday resulting in a pursuit that caused two crashes involving police cruisers officers saw an “ equipment violation” on a 2009 Chevrolet Malibu driving southbound in the area of State Road and Torrington Avenue Police said they attempted a traffic stop when the Chevrolet turned westbound onto Torrington Avenue at increasing speeds Officers pursued the car as it reached speeds over 70 MPH Assisting officers attempted to use stop strips as the Chevrolet drove northbound on Ridge Road to Brookpark Road the initiating officers were involved in a car crash while trying to catch up to the Chevrolet police said that another cruiser en route to assist was also involved in a crash that disabled the cruiser Other responding officers successfully deployed the stop strips which the Chevrolet drove over and continued at a high speed westbound on Brookpark Road Parma Police then terminated the pursuit because of the multiple crashes and for public safety Officers later found the Chevrolet disabled in the grass median near Brookpark Road and West 130th Street where a woman was standing outside the car in a hysterical state She was later identified as D’Andra Rachelle Gainer Gainer told police the driver fled on foot northbound on West 130th Street Police said Gainer was arrested and charged with falsification after police discovered she was not truthful during questioning about her relationship with the driver Parma Police officers were not able to locate the man detectives plan to follow up with the prosecutor’s office for issuance of felony warrants on the driver Parma is home to over 15,500 Polish people It’s also home to a new Spanish tapas bar called Quintaesencia Tapas & Bar just a stone's throw from Ridgewood Golf Course That’s where my college buddies hold the Annual Kishka Cup golf tournament I got a group text from my “pulpo pals” Edson Pinheiro and chef Beau Schmidt about a tapas bar that recently opened in Parma is the reason why we made the short drive up Interstate 77 to West Pleasant Valley Road The three of us were like schoolkids on free doughnut day We couldn’t wait to order both of the octopus tapas that are on the menu at this little Spanish gem We rolled up on the place just in time for happy hour so I started out with a beer from Spain called Estrella Galicia Cerveza Especial I quickly switched to the $7 Spain Punch after the bartender made a glass for my pals It was a refreshing drink made with orange juice In most places this would be called a sangria QE has an unmistakable South American flair as canchita or Peruvian corn nuts was served for us to snack on by our bartender who happened to be from Guatemala located on the corner of Ridge and West Pleasant Valley roads who was born in Venezuela and is fluent in Spanish I was game for anything as long as it included my beloved pulpo “That’s the first thing I saw that I wanted to order,” said Pinheiro about the $15 Garbanzos Madrileño which is chickpeas cooked with Spanish chorizo in a light red sauce That’s what his mother made for him as a child while  growing up in Venezuela The $20 Salpicon octopus was made ceviche-style It was the best I have had since my sister’s wedding in Lima “We should order more to take back,” said the chef from Copley as we finished the first round of tapas “I didn’t know it was going to be this good.” Co-owner and chef Katherine Nunez came out of the kitchen to greet us It wasn’t long before she and Pinheiro found out that they both came from San Cristobal Nunez brought out a $14 dish of Albondigas Con Manchego (meatballs with manchego cheese served with bread) for us to try “It’s all homemade,” said Nunez in their native tongue and Schmidt kept ranting about all the wonderful flavors “I didn’t even think about picking up a salt shaker or hot sauce,” said Schmidt It’s been a couple weeks since our trip to Parma We haven’t stopped talking about Nunez and her wonderful food Don’t be surprised if you see the three of us at a happy hour on your next trip CLEVELAND — A fresh start today in Cleveland’s Old Brooklyn neighborhood for a woman who thought her life was over Victoria Miranda Velazquez was severely injured after she was hit head-on in August 2023 by a driver being chased by Parma police she is walking again and re-opened her store It was a walk to her storefront that she didn’t think would happen again But this was a brand new day for the Old Brooklyn entrepreneur “Some of those days were so dark that I didn’t want to But the neighborhood and the community just didn't give up on me,” Velazquez said Velazquez first met with News 5 Investigator Tara Morgan on her boyfriend’s front porch My happiness was stolen away from me that day,” Velazquez said back then A Parma police chase ended in a head-on at Pearl and Woburn The suspect died in the wreckage that caught fire Velazquez filed a civil lawsuit against the city of

abusing multiple children at his unlicensed daycare from 2018 to 2023.David Gambino Ohio - A Parma man who ran an illegal daycare out of his home was sentenced Tuesday to life in prison without the possibility of parole for rape and gross sexual imposition Jeremy Bahner, 40, was once considered “the community’s most fun dad,” according to a victim’s mother. He was arrested in May 2023 and accused of illegally filming an 11-year-old girl inside his home. Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Judge Hollie Gallagher sentenced Bahner on several offenses including two counts of rape of a child under 10 two counts of gross sexual imposition and sexually violent predator specifications were possible because Bahner had access to countless children through his daycare A jury found him guilty after a trial in October Bahner’s unlicensed business also involved giving children rides to and from school in a vehicle called a “big purple wagon,” according to Parma police Detective Katie Finley he drove children around in his big purple wagon and had his two daughters hand out his big purple wagon business cards at school to recruit more children,” she said A single mother of four told Gallagher that Bahner preyed on her desire for her children to have a male role model in their lives “He did the worst things imaginable to many and sentenced those children to a life of having to learn to deal with and accept the traumas of what occurred in that house so many walked through,” the mother said Her voice choked with intermittent sobs during her statement Bahner kept his head down throughout the proceedings said it’s common for child predators to appear trustworthy and have good standings in the community They work by grooming children and coercing them into sexual contact after earning their trust and friendship The children trusted Bahner so much that one of his victims asked if she could hug him after his trial And he used that position of trust inside of families to prey on their children,” she said She criticized Bahner for never accepting responsibility for “the totality of his conduct.” She asked Gallagher to sentence him to life in prison without the possibility of parole acknowledged that Gallagher only had two options in punishing rape of a victim under 10: life in prison with parole or without it He said life without parole would be “a death penalty “They’re going to castigate this man because he hasn’t accepted responsibility,” he said He maintained it before; he maintains it now.” Asked by Gallagher if he would like to speak Bahner declined on the advice of his attorney so as to not jeopardize a planned appeal she had no discretion to sentence Bahner to anything other than life without parole for the rape offenses with sexually violent predator specifications She told Bahner he’s also classified as a sex offender for life — One driver was seriously injured and another had minor injuries after a crash Thursday morning on State Route 259 The Monroe County Sheriff's Office responded to Hilton Parma Corners Road just north of Peck Road around 8:40 a.m Deputies determined a southbound SUV entered the northbound lane and struck a truck that had a plow attached The SUV driver was taken to Strong Memorial Hospital with serious injuries while the truck driver declined further treatment who added drugs and alcohol didn't appear to be factors in the crash
