Ohio (WKEF) -- A celebration of life honoring 25-year-old Trenton Ladd who passed away in January was held by dozens of his closest friends and family
addressed the crowd of people gathered to remember her son
saying his death was the hardest thing she has ever experienced in her life
Good Shepherd Ministries of Dayton hosted the memorial just feet away from where Trenton Ladd was found on January 5th
About 5 months later his mother shared words of encouragement for the addicts in attendance and their families
You just don't know how much our hearts break to see you suffer and not be in recovery," said Jackson
Ladd was found dead outside Clearview Treatment Services in Dayton
The Montgomery County Coroner ruled his death accidental hypothermia
Kierstyn Crawford who attends meetings with families of addicts and is a counselor in the community said the lives of addicts and anyone in recovering mean something
just like Ladd's life meant something
And really just get the message out that people who are in recovery
people who are struggling have a right to expect safe treatment
They certainly shouldn't freeze to death," said Crawford
Others in attendance remembered him as a light
someone they could drive around and listen to music with
and someone that gave them a laugh in dark times
Always had a smile no matter what the struggles he was going through," said Amy Dunkin
Dayton Site Director for Families of Addicts
He hadn't given up on himself," added Crawford
“It was unfortunate to lose a life this young
and we just don't want what happenedwe want to be the voice for the people that can't talk anymore," said Shawn Trapp

as he was entrusted with significant playing time during the early part of the season—a testament to the faith placed in his abilities
Veteran Leadership and Strategic Adjustments
the road to consistency is often laden with unexpected challenges
a sudden recalibration of the game plan led to a reduced defensive role for the rookie
relegating him once again to special teams and limited appearances
This strategic pivot allowed the team to lean on the wisdom and reliability of seasoned veterans
whose leadership on and off the field had become indispensable
ensuring that the immediate defensive needs of the team were met during critical moments of the season
further changes underscored the delicate balance between nurturing youth and relying on veteran experience
With both key veterans departing during the offseason
the organization faced the challenge of reconstructing its approach to special teams—a vital component of its overall strategy
a strategic selection during the later stage of the draft underscored a commitment to blending promising prospects with seasoned insights
aiming to sustain competitive edge while shifting dynamics

The Trenton baseball team is one series win away from a return trip to the final four
the top-seed Tigers overcame an early 2-1 deficit and rallied for an 11-4 win against No
4 seed Chiefland in game two of the FHSAA Rural Region 4 Semifinals
The win, coupled with Tuesday night’s game one win against the Indians
sends Trenton to the region final on Monday
The winner of the best-of-3 series will advance to the state semifinals in Fort Myers on Wednesday

“They came out swinging tonight,” said Trenton coach Chris Marlo
who beat Chiefland for a fourth time this season
A lot of those kids played for me when they were younger
Their record doesn’t reflect what they’re going to bring to the table (tonight) in a regional game.”
Chiefland (13-12) trailed 10-0 after two innings in game one
so a quick start was important if they wanted to have a chance to force a game three
Sophomore Brice Thomas led off the game with a single against Trenton sophomore pitcher Mason VunCannon
He scored a few batters later on an RBI double to right center field by senior Luke Watkins for a 1-0 lead
Trenton answered in the bottom of the first and threatened to have a big inning
Sophomore Brant Bivens and VunCannon each singled off Chiefland starting pitcher Hunter Boyd
Chiefland decided to intentionally walk University of West Georgia signee Jordan Marlo
who had hit a 3-run home run in Tuesday’s game
but it’s a respect thing,” said Jordan Marlo
who doubled in a run in the sixth inning and finished 2-for-3 with a pair of runs scored
Boyd got out of the jam by allowing just one run on a sacrifice fly by sophomore Pierson Weatherilt
Chiefland took a 2-1 lead in the top of the second inning
Senior catcher JR Hudson hit a hard grounder to third and reached on an infield hit
Pinch runner Devon Minichello ended up scoring the go-ahead run on a throwing error by Trenton catcher Zane McArdle on a stolen base attempt
But the momentum of the game changed in the bottom of the third inning
but Chiefland third baseman Jolan Doty made a bad throw to second
VunCannon scored on the play and tied the game 2-2
and then we capitalized on it with Ty’s home run,” Chris Marlo said
drilled a three-run home run over the left field fence for his second home run of the season
“The pitch before he threw me a high fastball and I laid off it
Coach always gets on to me for swinging at the high fastballs
but I put the barrel on it and took it for a ride.”
The three-run blast turned a 2-2 game into a 5-2 lead for the Tigers
“It felt like a huge momentum boost coming back to the dugout,” Moses said
Chiefland senior Trey Meeks hit a solo home run in the top of the fifth to cut the deficit to 5-3
McArdle drove in a pair of runs with a double to right field in the bottom of the fifth
and the Tigers batted around in the sixth and added four more
“That’s what I preach every game,” Chris Marlo said
making their pitchers throw a lot of pitches
Vuncannon went the distance on the mound and struck out the side in order in the top of the seventh
We really needed him to throw a complete game
Game one against Fort Meade will be at 7 p.m
The game will be broadcast online (audio only) at Mainstreet Daily News beginning at 6:45 p.m

Program Chairman Gary Dolan spoke about Lake Superior, a location he and his family have visited for many years, beginning in his childhood with his brother and father. The Dolan family spends summers in Grand Marais, located on the lake’s western side.
Dolan noted that Lake Superior is the largest of the Great Lakes and is larger than the other Great Lakes combined. He added that, if emptied, the lake’s volume of water would cover both North and South America to a depth of one foot.
He described the Lake Superior Circle Tour, a route covering 1,826 miles through states and Canadian provinces that border the lake. He explained the surrounding geography varies, with sandy shores on the southern edge and rocky terrain in the north.
Grand Marais, where the Dolans stay, is a town of about 1,500 residents and has been recognized by several groups as “The Best Small Town in the U.S.” Dolan said the summer tourist season is consistently busy and attracts visitors from across the country. He also shared stories about family friends they’ve met during their visits, including his fishing companions.
During the club’s business meeting, members were reminded of their responsibility to put up and take down flags around the courthouse on Flag Day, June 14. The group will meet at 6 a.m.
An update was also given on the Bright Futures Trenton bathroom project, which is being supported through a District Grant.
The club discussed the possibility of local service organizations jointly sponsoring a community fireworks display on July 3. Members agreed to participate in the effort. The estimated cost of the event is approximately $6,500, including insurance and the fireworks show.
The program for the May 8 meeting will be presented by the owners of Bent Tree Gallery. Gary Dolan will serve again as program chairman.

The California Highway Patrol was called to the scene of a vehicle accident around 5 a.m
on Trenton Road and River Road near Forestville
male black bear was struck and killed Tuesday by a vehicle near Forestville
a California Department of Fish and Wildlife spokesperson
the California Highway Patrol responded to a call that a white Chevy pickup truck hit a bear near Trenton Road and River Road
The driver was traveling River Road in the early morning darkness when he struck the bear
the bear was alive and walking around before it eventually laid down on the shoulder and died
CHP officers alerted the state Department of Fish and Wildlife
which sent a wildlife biologist to collect the bear’s body
adding that a necropsy would be performed on the animal
Fish and Wildlife personnel also collected tooth and genetic samples from the bear that will help to determine the bear’s age
adding that the necropsy will confirm the bear died from injuries related to the crash
the executive director of the Sonoma County Wildlife Rescue
said the bear’s death highlights the need for wildlife crossings in Sonoma County
She called the incident “tragic” and said she wants the organization to not only focus on rescuing animals
but also on the “bigger picture” of conservation
“Highways can be — not only a source of unnecessary wildlife deaths but they can also break up connectivity between wildlife habitats,” Kellum said Thursday in an email
“This is where the need for wildlife crossings come into play and why we monitor the movement of collared wildlife
roadkill incidents and other data to determine where placement of wildlife crossings will be most effective.”
“We can’t put wildlife crossings everywhere
so it’s important for motorists to always be alert and on the lookout for the wildlife that we share this state with as each species has an essential role in California’s unique ecosystem,” she said

Best available players: Who's left from Dane Brugler's top 300
A running list of picks
Rasheen Ali: This was a well-stocked running back draft class
despite Derrick Henry entering the final year of his deal and Mitchell and Ali dealing with physical challenges last year
The Ravens will add a few undrafted free-agent running backs
Tight end Mark Andrews: The three-time Pro Bowler’s placement on this list is operating under the assumption that Andrews is content remaining with the Ravens and hasn’t become disenchanted with all of the trade speculation and criticism he’s gotten for how Baltimore’s 2024 season ended
DeCosta quieted some of that speculation about Andrews’ future after Day 2 of the draft
saying that he expects the productive tight end to remain with the team
That DeCosta didn’t use any of Baltimore’s 11 picks on a tight end when good options were available also suggests that Andrews remains in the Ravens’ plans
Center Nick Samac: A seventh-round pick last year
Samac wasn’t active for an NFL game in his rookie season
If he’s going to make the team again in 2025
Samac will have to beat out a lot of roster hopefuls
The Ravens drafted three offensive linemen and will add a few more as undrafted free agents
They typically carry nine or 10 offensive linemen on their regular-season roster
At least seven of those spots are accounted for
which doesn’t leave much margin of error for Samac
The coaching staff being comfortable with Ben Cleveland as the backup center would make it tough for Samac to stick
Cornerback Jalyn Armour-Davis: All indications are that the Ravens are still high on the potential of 2024 fourth-round cornerback T.J
who was limited to just seven games as a rookie because of injuries
They also believe Armour-Davis is a solid NFL corner and special teams player when available
He’s played just 19 games over three NFL seasons
who gives Orr the flexibility to use a safety in the slot
certainly complicates Armour-Davis’ ability to make the regular-season roster
Armour-Davis will likely start training camp in July on the proverbial bubble
Inside linebacker Trenton Simpson: Harbaugh said at the NFL owners’ meeting that he expects Simpson to regain the starting weakside linebacker spot that he lost in December
but Simpson now has legitimate competition
Ravens fourth-round pick Teddye Buchanan has the skill set to play immediately and challenge for the job
Buchanan has very good instincts and football smarts
which should help him decrease the learning curve
The selection of Starks and the return of restricted free agent Ar’Darius Washington will also allow the Ravens to use a safety in the dime linebacker role
That would cut into Simpson’s defensive snaps
The Ravens have said they are following the NFL’s lead
Even if Tucker isn’t assessed significant discipline
expensive for a kicker and coming off the worst year of his career
There’s also the question of where he’s at mentally and how he’d handle the questions and negativity surrounding the allegations
If Loop looks the part in minicamp and offseason workouts
it probably would be easier for the Ravens to move on from Tucker
The perceived organizational no-tolerance policy: Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti never said the Ravens have a no-tolerance policy as it relates to misconduct against women and other similar offenses
Former team president Dick Cass said specifically that the Ravens don’t have one and discussed why it would be so challenging
Harbaugh seemingly cited one when asked about the Cleveland Browns’ acquisition of Deshaun Watson in 2022
Not until recent months have current team officials aggressively denounced the perception that a no-tolerance policy exists. There’s no ambiguity anymore. The Ravens drafted Green despite him acknowledging that he’s twice been accused of sexual assault
Adisa Isaac and David Ojabo: The outside linebacker room is suddenly pretty crowded after the Ravens added Green in the second round
who started seven games last year and had 3 1/2 sacks
has carved out a nice role for himself as a rotational guy
That doesn’t leave too many snaps for Ojabo
a former undrafted free agent who has stuck around for two years
There won’t be a 53-man roster spot for one or two of those guys
