Waterford’s Zavier Heiss awaits a throw during Friday’s game in Beverly BEVERLY — Make no mistake about it — Grady Hesson is the ace of the Fort Frye pitching staff The sophomore right hander continued his outstanding season Friday night by tossing a two-hitter and fanning 12 batters in Fort Frye’s 9-1 win over arch-rival Waterford The Cadets offense handed Hesson an early lead and that was all that he would need as he won for the sixth time in eight decisions “He was so good and even when he got a little wild he was able to limit the damage,” said Fort Frye head coach Trey Engle of Hesson “I can’t say enough great things about the kind of year he is having.” Hesson breezed through the first three innings as he retired the first nine Wildcat hitters he faced The Cadets left the bases loaded in the opening frame against Waterford starting pitcher Corbin Stark before scratching out a run in the bottom of the second Catcher Wyatt Duskey reached base on an error and came around to score when Jack McCurdy’s fly ball to deep center field was misplayed for a triple The Wildcats wouldn’t help their own cause at all as they made six errors in the game Fort Frye went right back to work in the bottom of the third as they batted around to score four times Kainan Bradford walked to begin the inning and later scored on a single by first baseman Zander Lowe One out later Wade Duskey reached on an error and Chatum Courson beat out a bunt and when the throw to first sailed down the right field line Freshman third baseman Caden Henniger capped the scoring with an RBI single Possibly the lengthy inning took a bit of a toll on Hesson as he would have to battle some wildness in the top of the fourth After using just 28 pitches over the first three innings to dispose of the Wildcats Hesson walked the first three hitters he faced in the fourth Hesson was able to minimize the damage however when he retired Braun Doak on a fly ball to center that scored the only run of the game for Waterford before striking out the final two hitters to end the inning “Last year he was kind of put in this role unexpectedly and this year he has decided it was his role,” said Engle of his ace “He’s kind of our go-to-guy and he has been outstanding all year long.” Fort Frye added a single run in the fourth when Bradford doubled to deep right center field and came around to score on a sacrifice fly by Clayton Miller Hesson helped his own cause with a run-scoring in the bottom of the fifth After not allowing a hit over the first four and two thirds innings Cam Johnson singled up the middle in the fifth inning for Waterford to break up the no-hitter Fort Frye added two more unearned runs in the last of the sixth and Hesson retired the side in order in the seventh to secure the win for the Fort as they improved to 11-7 on the season With Hesson accounting for 12 of the Cadets 21 outs with strikeouts the Fort Frye defense only needed to make nine plays in the game and they did so flawlessly “That is one thing that we have always taught and the kids take great pride in is playing great defense,” said Engle “It helps a lot….it gives the pitcher confidence and allows him to throw the ball across the plate when he knows they will make the plays for him.” Bradford and Lowe each accounted for two base hits apiece for the winners while Doak stroked a double in the sixth inning for the other Waterford hit Waterford slipped to 12-8 on the season with the loss Both teams will be back in action on Monday with the Wildcats traveling to Shenandoah while The Cadets host Belpre |

Township. Waterford Township fire Chief Matthew Nye said his department received a call about the fire at 5:50 a.m. Thursday, May 1, 2025. Firefighters were at the restaurant by 5:55 a.m., but the fire had already progressed too far. “They were met with heavy fire in the attic and through the roof,” Nye said. “They tried to get inside and make an aggressive interior attack to stop it, but they were met with heavy flames and the building started collapsing on them, so they backed up and went defensive.” Fire officials are investigating how the fire started. “This is going to be a long investigation to figure it out,” Nye said. Three tower trucks were sent to the scene. “Unfortunately, the fire was too well involved, so they had to go defensive, so we’re stuck with a total loss,” Nye said. Nye said nobody was found inside the restaurant. “To the best of our knowledge, nobody was in there, so that’s a good thing,” Nye said.

It’s sad to see what’s going on.” Campbell said when she heard about the fire, she came over to see what happened. “I could smell it a little bit from my house, and then the closer I got, I could definitely smell the presence of the smoke, not realizing it was going to be this bad,” Campbell said. She said she used to go to the restaurant with her mother. “I’ve eaten here, and they have great, wonderful food,” Campbell said. “It’s sad to see this staple of Waterford -- obviously it’s gone.

WATERFORD TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WXYZ) — Strong winds caused major damage to the roof of the Rolladium Family Fun Center in Waterford Township Tuesday afternoon. Part of the roof material ripped off the building located near Highland Road and Pontiac Lake Road in Waterford Township. No one was injured, according to fire officials. Hear from Fire Chief Matthew Nye about the incident in the video player below: The damage came as a line of severe storms moved through metro Detroit on Tuesday afternoon with damaging winds. In some cases, the winds reached between 60 and 70 mph, according to the 7 First Alert weather team. Trees and power lines were down across the area, Waterford Fire Chief Matthew Nye said. Nye said he found out about the incident around 2 p.m. from his deputy chief who was sent a video from social media. "I thought it was interesting that a 911 call didn't come in, so I sent our team of investigators out to check it out. They did find in the pouring rain the roof was actively ripping off or it was in the process or it did completely rip off," Nye said. Once on scene, officials worked to get everyone out of the building. Only a few employees were inside the building at the time of the incident. About an hour before the roof came off, it was an open skate session for senior citizens. The chief said officials are assessing the damage but said "it looks pretty significant." The inside of the building was also damaged. He said although there were severe storms in the area, the incident at the Rolladium was unexpected. "You don't see this very often. Matter-of-fact, this is the first time in my 29 years I've probably saw something like this," Nye said. "It's pretty off for me because as a child, I roller-skated here, I met my first girlfriend here, so it's pretty interesting to see it in this shape." Tony Anselmi is the former general manager and his mother is the current owner. He said Tuesday was an emotional day, but the support from the community has helped them get by. “Believe it or not, every car that you see in the parking lot is a customer right now that came to see what they can do. So it’s nice," Anselmi said. Anselmi added that the cleanup efforts and roof repairs will take days. A reopening date has not been announced, but he said they hope to be back up and running as quickly as possible. Fire officials worked with engineers, the roofing company and the board-up company to make sure the structure inside is safe. The load of damage is expected to go to a safe location away from the scene, the chief said. "What looked to be a devastating possibility with maybe tragic injuries or loss of life turned out spectacular in a way that there was absolutely no injures and no loss of life," Nye said. The Rolladium opened in 1950 and has a roller rink, arcade, party rooms and more. SALT LAKE CITY — It has been 30 years since Utah high school athletes became introduced to the sport of lacrosse. The Judge Memorial boys team showed Wednesday night just how far the sport has come. Dylan Hersh, Frederick Gowski and Ben Butler scored two goals apiece as Judge, one of the Utah’s premier teams back in the day, kept its strong tradition going by routing Waterford 12-3 in a battle of 4A’s top teams. With the win, Judge improved to 8-6 overall but 3-0 in Region 10 and likely earned the top seed in the region’s upcoming post-season tournament. Waterford, meanwhile, lost for the first time this season and fell into second place. “Great game … great game. Always fun to play them,” said Judge coach Jeff Brzoska. “This is was like a battle for 4A and for the region. We played well and everyone got involved.” Judge was never threatened. The Bulldogs’ passing was on target throughout the game. Judge scored first and then the game turned when Waterford’s Alani Aho had to leave the game a few minutes later with a severe leg injury. Judge scored quickly when it wanted. The Bulldogs had a 6-1 lead by the end of the first quarter and used much of its its huge roster to stay fresh. Waterford got goals from Noah Chao, Andrew Rurka and Kellen Kemper. However, Brzoska said Judge goalkeeper Connor Knight turned away several shots to keep the Ravens frustrated. Waterford entered the game averaging 15.5 goals per game and even had 21 in a victory over Hillcrest last week. Brzoska said the Bulldogs’ non-region schedule, which includes 5A and 6A opponents, as well as two games against Southern California schools, prepared them well for their region schedule. Judge is also the defending 4A champs and hopes to continue to challenge at state next year when the lacrosse team moves up to 5A. “Lacrosse is really big here,” Brzoska said. “We have good kids and they are good at selling it to the other kids at the school. I’ll bet 15 percent of our student body (boys) play now, and we’re building something here.” Judge is also building tradition. The Bulldogs and Ravens started a traveling trophy several years ago — called the “Bucket Helmet,” with the winning team taking it back to their locker room afterward. The Bucket Helmet was part of the post-game locker room festivities Wednesday but Brzoska said it’s likely the Bulldogs and Ravens will face each other again in their unique region tournament next week and possibly the state tournament May 13-23. This is the sixth iteration of the provincial round-robin championship. In Munster the format has proved an outstanding success A general level of competitiveness has been established throughout the province This is despite the apparently unpromising statistics of Limerick having won all but one of those championships – plus the two in between during Covid – and Clare having been beaten finalists in four of the five years to date Waterford have also failed to survive the format by finishing in the top three in any of those years Each year has nonetheless seen drama over who will contest the provincial final and who will get the third All-Ireland ticket Any notions that the Munster title would become a pointless digression have been buried by capacity attendances at the last three high-voltage finals between Limerick and Clare At least four teams have to be in contention to guarantee a contest for three places One of the aspects of the round-robin format that has played a big role in both the enjoyment and competitiveness of the championship has been the guarantee of home matches This is of particular importance to Clare and Waterford whose grounds were generally not considered big enough for Munster fixtures and as a result under the old system It might also explain why Waterford have such a poor record because in two of the years Walsh Park wasn’t available to them because of reconstruction work and they had to play “home” matches elsewhere The most convenient venue would have been Nowlan Park in Kilkenny but that was in another province and the county instead ended up playing its “home” matches in Thurles and bizarrely on one occasion Having Walsh Park restored and available was particularly looked forward to this year after a spring spent in Division 1B The 2025 rotation was to bring All-Ireland champions Clare and their four-in-a-row predecessors Limerick to Waterford It began well with a win over Clare the week before last but the schedules ordained that their next home match would be six days later against Limerick who had enjoyed a week off the previous weekend “We try and build ourselves up and get it into our heads that six days is nothing. We did very little physically, but mentally and emotionally it can be hard to get down and get back up again in such a short space of time. “We’ve been building for probably seven months for the Clare game and six days then to get ready for Limerick. And it’s Limerick, remember. They’re six-in-a-row Munster champions and they showed why today. “They’re a big, strong, physical hurling team and it showed that they’re probably, again, the team to beat this year.” The data indicated that Waterford had no chance and not just because their matches against Limerick have been the one constant in Munster: played five, lost five, the only entirely one-way relationship in the province. Now it’s six and six. Other more relevant evidence is that when a team is obliged to play a week later against opponents, who had no match the previous weekend, the win rate is less than a third, seven out of 22. More damningly, a team forced like Waterford at the weekend, to play six days later against a rested team, can cling to no positive precedent. It has simply never happened. In the five times such a fixture has taken place, the team in Waterford’s position has never won although three of the matches (60 per cent) did end in draws. Then there is the promotional loss. After a season in a lower division, Waterford got their chance to have home fixtures against top teams but because of scheduling, the second of these opportunities to market the hurlers on the big stage had to be exploited within six days. Such has been the interest in the Munster championship together with the rise of Cork that ticket sales have been both healthy and robust but the buzz around the place after beating Clare didn’t get much currency. Of course, Waterford had been the beneficiaries of the same scheduling in their first match against Clare who had played their epic draw against Cork only six days previously. The round-robin era really took off with Cork’s home match against Limerick on the June bank holiday in 2018 when 34,607 turned out in Pairc Uí Chaoimh. It was one of the five matches where a rested team (Limerick) played a side that had been in action six days previously (Cork) – and one of the draws. For context, Limerick, a then rising force who would win their first All-Ireland in 45 years later that summer, lost Aaron Gillane to red card before half-time and their captain Declan Hannon to injury. That they managed a draw in the circumstances was actually further evidence of the unfairness of the six-day turnaround, compounded by the fact that Cork were playing a third match in 14 days. One player’s parents said that he literally hadn’t been able to get out of bed the following day. There were also examples of teams having to play in four successive weekends in both provinces. Of the four who had such a schedule, three did not qualify for the All-Ireland stages. These fixture shortcomings were duly addressed and the fixtures reorganised accordingly. It is not easy to juggle fixtures in such a constricted calendar and these scheduling misfortunes come down ultimately to the luck of the draw but when that results in such unfairness to teams, might it be time to reconsider the draw?

The Grounds of Lismore Castle by Laura Burlington with dogs Pins and Needles In my experience the interiors of Lismore – a combination of gothic patterns and clutter some of it good and some of it won at the local fair – immediately make people feel comfortable It is all gathered and presented with equal importance and because no one family has lived full-time in the main part of the castle since Adele Astaire’s tenure (she was married to Lord Charles Cavendish and lived at Lismore between 1932 and 1944) no one has ever cleared it up The drawing room with 18th-century tapestries you can still find Adele’s records on the sideboards and her novels on the bookshelves The castle has such a particular atmosphere and one of my worries as one of the present incumbents is how not to spoil this It was sensitively refurbished at the beginning of the century by my parents-in-law who added significantly to the collection of Pugin furniture and Watts wallpaper I find it quite difficult to change anything in the castle A writing desk with a view of the Blackwater river Lismore’s gardens have been open to the public since the 1960s The gardens are a different matter altogether They were opened by my husband William’s grandparents in the 1960s and garden visitors have been joined by those on contemporary art pilgrimages Their beauty is that they are constantly dynamic – living A surprising moment of freedom arrived with box blight when we were forced to remove all the formal box hedging in the garden a much looser perennial style has become Lismore’s latest look A table set with dishes of gooseberry and elderflower ice cream At Lismore Castle in spring we prepare hazel hurdles for supporting peas as these can be readied in advance of planting when the weather warms The vegetable plots and flowerbeds need to be prepared for the seeds or plugs to be planted once temperatures have increased In recent years we have adopted no-dig principles to improve soil health and soil structure with the added bonus of reducing weed pressure over time we still have to relieve the compaction of the soil that our heavy annual rainfall creates We achieve this using a tool called a broadfork which instead of turning and disturbing the soil We broadfork the soil before planting the new plants and then add a layer of compost on the soil surface We start planting seeds in trays in the polytunnels in early spring and after four weeks of growing in seed trays chard and celeriac can be transferred into pots and while viewing our compost heaps is far from the most glamorous part of a visit here they are undoubtedly important to the health of the gardens our large heaps are in full view – a testament to the cycle of growth and production that happens within the garden’s walls.”

In their time of need, community members rallied to help repair the damages. The incident occurred on April 29 at Rolladium Family Fun Center in Oakland County. Anthony Anselmi, whose mom owns the family-owned skating rink, shared with Local 4 some of the details about the unexpected damage caused by the severe weather that ripped off the roof. Anselmi said he was once the general manager of a family-owned business, so he knows the ins and outs. He said the rink, which has been a community staple since 1950, experienced significant roof damage. “Mother Nature, she won brutally, if I must be honest. We had wind gusts We had wind gusts between 60 and 70 miles per hour, and I think it was between 1:45 and about two o’clock. Luckily, nobody in the building was hurt. Nobody was skating. It was not open session. Nope. It was just pretty much bookkeeping, tidying up, cleaning up. My mom had just sold a pair of skates, maybe 10 minutes before it happened, and she heard the noise, and she came out just in time to watch the roof peel right off. It was like a tuna can. That was her words, peeled off. Peeled off. Yes, like, like a tuna cast. That’s the analogy I was given." Anselmi said the top roofing and the insulation were what peeled off. He said the roof itself was 100% intact and safe. Once news broke about the family-owned establishment, community members volunteered to help out. Anselmi praised Priority Waste for stepping in. He said it was a Waterford, stronger together kind of thing, as four dumpsters came from his current job. He noted that the renovations completed in 2016 had improved the building significantly, but the recent weather event posed new challenges. Despite the damage, Anselmy expressed gratitude that no one was inside skating at the time. The rink was closed for an internal work party, and the timing of the incident prevented potential injuries. While there is some water damage, Anselmy was hopeful about recovery. “We were able to persuade the mitigation crew to work through the night,” Anselmy said. “They want hours, and they offered to do it.” He said that among all the mitigation crews, the roofing company, and Priority Waste, the rink should reopen quickly. The rink’s community ties were strong, with many locals reaching out to offer support. Anselmy noted that he has received messages from people he hasn’t spoken to in years, all concerned about the rink’s status. The rink’s community ties are strong, with many locals reaching out to offer support. Anselmy noted that he has received messages from people he hasn’t spoken to in years, all concerned about the rink’s status. “It’s nice to know that people care,” he said. “This place means a lot to a lot of people.” As the rink prepares for repairs, Anselmy is optimistic about reopening. “We’re hoping to get this back open and operational as soon as possible,” he said. “Everybody needs something fun to do.” The renovations completed in recent years, including new party rooms and arcade areas, were not damaged during the storm. Anselmy confirmed that 5,000 square feet of the rink remains untouched, but the remaining 31,000 square feet will require extensive work. “This is the first time anything like this has happened,” Anselmy said. “We always plan on getting through it. We always have, and we always will.” Brandon Carr is a digital content producer for ClickOnDetroit and has been with WDIV Local 4 since November 2021.

Nelson called the claims “baseless accusations,” per the transcript In an April 28 interview with the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Nelson said that all the allegations for which he was interviewed could’ve been handled with a conversation Nelson said a he said-she said narrative was being put together against him with these accusations or regulations of the Waterford Police Department Nelson said for the over three months between when he was put on administrative leave and when he had his interview he heard nothing as to what the allegations were against him To this day he does not know what led to his being put on leave and what may have come up afterward but he filed a lawsuit in February against Waterford and former Town Chair Teri Jendusa-Nicolai where he hopes to get an answer The Journal Sentinel was not immediately able to confirm the lawsuit has been filed Nelson said the town has until June 6 to respond to the lawsuit Nelson also alleged one of the individuals who brought the allegations against him had a previous sexual relationship with someone listed on the Community Security Solutions website as affiliated with the company calling it a conflict of interest for this investigative agency to be hired so hammered on in my entire life until after this Nelson said they were either misreported or called it a “clerical oversight.” When asked if his scheduling practices were prejudicial Riffel said some have alleged Nelson was heard yelling and screaming at his now ex-wife He also denied telling a female officer she looked fat or that an employee with gray hair looked unappealing Nelson also denied showing any risqué photos of women he may have been seeing or making any sexual comments or innuendo saying “it’s characterizing me as a horrible person Riffel also questioned Nelson about a City of Franklin meeting that Nelson was apparently participating in via phone which had to be paused because Nelson had to issue a citation during a traffic stop Nelson said he didn’t recall this incident The security company allegations are related to Nelson and other officers working special events in the area and being paid in cash by the organizers or sponsors is not out of the ordinary for police departments for such events Riffel said there are specific laws for operating security guard agencies and police aren’t exempt from those state statutes Nelson countered that it’s the practice of many departments including the Racine County Sheriff’s Office to do this claiming no elected officials in Waterford nor his chief had an issue Waterford Police Chief Matt Johnson retired in January and the department has been without a chief since that time Nelson said he was working under the command of Lt Nelson said he handled things like payroll The Racine County Sheriff’s Office has also been assisting the Waterford Police Department What is the status of the investigation?Town of Waterford Supervisor Robert Ulander told the Journal Sentinel the investigation has concluded; however Former Waterford Town Chair Teri Jendusa-Nicolai previously shared Jeschke retired from the Waterford Police Department in September before his scheduled interview with the town as part of the investigation She confirmed in a letter released at the time the investigation against Jeschke ― which included allegations of harassment discrimination and retaliation ― was closed but incomplete since Jeschke didn’t provide his side of the story Ulander also told the Journal Sentinel after Nelson’s interview there was more conduct that required additional investigation He alleged Nelson gained unauthorized access to the police department while Nelson was on administrative leave Nelson told the Journal Sentinel he and his attorney were summoned to the police department for an interview that day in the Police Department’s new interview room “I assumed that’s where we were going to meet,” Nelson said He said he brought a tote because he hoped to gather some personal belongings afterward The status of the investigation's final report Ulander said there is no final report available from Community Security Solutions “The company that conducted the investigations declined to issue a final report despite repeated requests to do so,” Ulander said Nelson said he didn’t know why a final report wasn’t filed but said the investigation is closed with no action taken Contact Erik S.

Waterford were spunky and relentless, but they couldn’t cope with Limerick’s abrasive power and dynamism on the ball. Limerick’s defence suffocated the Waterford attack and, but for a couple of speculative efforts in the second half, Waterford never looked like getting the goals they needed to sustain their challenge. Waterford never led in the game, and when they reduced the deficit to just two points with a fast start to the second half Limerick responded with four unanswered points. If that counted as a fright it quickly passed. Limerick were better than they had been against Tipperary, especially against the breeze in the first half, but there will still be a snag list before the visit of Cork to the Gaelic Grounds in a fortnight. John Kiely quoted their shooting efficiency at 67%, and their wides tally slipped into double figures, neither of which met their targets. In everything they do, Limerick are devoted to the numbers. They failed to reach their perpetual target of 30 points and didn’t force a save from Billy Nolan, but they didn’t trip over either of these shortcomings. In his post-match interview Kiely glowed with quiet satisfaction. He mentioned “energy” five times, describing it variously as “great,” “exceptional,” “good” and “through the roof,” twice. He mentioned “intensity” three times; that was “through the roof,” too. Energy and intensity are buzzwords in team sports, but Limerick are one of the teams for whom those words never lose their meaning. “I think structurally, we were extremely sound,” said Kiely. “Defensively, extremely strong. Our full-back line was absolutely excellent. Our half-back line controlled the ball in the air really, really well. And I just thought our energy going forward was exceptional, so very, very happy. We worked hard. Our intensity throughout the game was really, really high. That’s something we’ve noticed in the championship this year, that the intensity levels in all teams have gone way up.” The problem for Waterford in the second half was that they needed to commit more bodies to the middle third in an effort to gain primary possession, but that left them light on numbers close to goal. When the ball was sent in Waterford’s inside forwards were routinely outnumbered. If Limerick didn’t concede a goal they couldn’t lose. Over the years, they have been masters of that equation. Limerick asserted their control from the beginning and were five points up inside 11 minutes. Whatever dirty diesel was in the tank against Tipperary was blown out. Limerick moved the ball with devastating simplicity and coherence. In that mood, they always have receivers in space. With the breeze in the first half Waterford elected to go long with nearly all their puck-outs, either by design or coercion, and Limerick mopped up most of them. The space between the Limerick half-backs and full-backs was so compressed that Waterford’s forwards had very little room in which to play, even when they did get their hands on the ball. Waterford picked off three points in a row in the middle of the half, but it didn’t change the momentum. Young Patrick Fitzgerald landed a brilliant point, and Kevin Mahony got a good score too, but Bennett missed a couple of frees when Waterford couldn’t afford to let any pennies fall through a hole in their pocket. Limerick replaced Diarmaid Byrnes midway through the first half shortly after he became a red card risk. He was booked after 12 minutes and escaped with a warning after committing another yellow card offence a minute later. After a sideline consultation with Byrnes, Colin Coughlan was summoned from the bench. Limerick led by 0-15 to 0-10 at half-time and after they weathered the Waterford storm early in the second half, they were still five points clear after 50 minutes. Waterford’s best chance of a goal came immediately after half-time when Stephen Bennett played a cute ground pass to his brother Shane from a free inside the Limerick D. The pick-up, though, was just a fraction clumsy and by the time he steadied himself to shoot a phalanx of Limerick defenders came rushing at him. One of them made a block with his body. At the other end, Limerick were picking off points at a rate that maintained their comfort levels. Shane O’Brien scored four at his ease and one of these days he will cut loose. Aaron Gillane added a couple of beauties and three of Limerick’s subs scored from play. For Waterford, it was just too much to bear. Waterford: B Nolan (0-2, frees), I Kenny, C Prunty, I Daly, M Fitzgerald (0-2), Tadgh de Búrca, P Leavey, D Lyons, J Prendergast (0-1), J Barron (0-2), Stephen Bennett (0-9, 0-6 frees, 0-2 65), P Curran, K Mahony (0-1), D Hutchinson (0-1), Patrick Fitzgerald (0-1).

Denis Walsh is a sports writer with The Irish Times (WXYZ) — A new initiative in Waterford Township is putting scammers and residents on alert Police have placed large warning signs next to Bitcoin ATM machines at nearly 20 local business cautioning customers before sending large sums of money to potential scammers It comes as more scammers are directing their victims to use Bitcoin ATMs which makes the transactions nearly impossible for police to trace Owner of Crescent Lake Mobil Tony Attisha is used to seeing his customers bring in cash but a few weeks ago “When you see an older lady walk in with stacks of cash Attisha watched as the woman went straight to the Bitcoin ATM machine and quickly began depositing money he called Waterford police and Detective Austin Moll showed up in minutes she stopped and we were able to get her back $7,000 she put in the machine She was in the process of putting over $16,000 in the machine,” Moll said Moll says these cases happen at least once a week in Waterford and convince them to take money out of their bank they told her the people at her bank were in on it and they told her not to tell anybody why she was there not to talk to anybody that approached her,” Moll said Moll’s cases have ranged from $500 to $500,000 and the money is almost always lost scams using Bitcoin ATMs have increased tenfold People age 60 and older were more than three times as likely to fall victim “They have little warning signs on the machine already so I wanted to make something big and bold that people will actually look at Moll has put up signs in front of every Bitcoin ATM in Waterford He says each local business owner has been in full support could be anybody with all the money in their life they’ve worked really hard for their entire life,” Attisha said “We trained all our workers to look out for it so hopefully Matt Alloway and Seth White celebrate the achievement of all service personnel during Tuesday evening’s Muskingum Valley
