September 7, 2008
WARREN — A suspect in the robbery and fatal shooting at Freddie’s Diner last month was arrested Saturday following a DNA match, according to police.
Ardeed Mitchell, 28, of Youngstown, was arrested at a Palmyra Road S.W. home about 2:30 p.m. after police were notified of the match Friday night.
“They collected the right stuff,” said Warren Detective Wayne Mackey of the department’s forensics team.
On Aug. 12, a gunman entered the back of the diner, 1125 N. Park Ave., and after a struggle, owner Fred DeVengencie, 90, was shot in the neck and died.

Deciphering diets
Wed, August 27, 2008 @ 2:38PM
Are they all the same? Not really, but they all work, if that is, a person can stick to them. The hardest part is finding one that works for you, as each person is not only different in body type and metabolism, but in lifestyle as well. The current fad diet to hit the market is the Flat-Belly diet, developed by registered dieticians along with Prevention magazine, claims to attack the most difficult of all areas where fat accumulates, the mid-section. The diet is based on the theory that by following a low calorie program rich in what the dieticians call MUFA’s, a person can not only lose weight, but will target the dangerous belly fat. Doctors and nutritionists have long been saying that the apple-shaped figure that holds a majority of weight around the mid-section, is the most dangerous of all and is harder on the heart than a person who carries their weight below the belt. MUFA stands for monounsaturated fatty acids.

One House At a Time
Fri, September 5, 2008 @ 9:55AM
A hearing will be held next week in Mahoning County Common Pleas Court to decide if a South Side home that is boarded up should be declared a nuisance and vacated for a year because of chronic drug activity. It is the fourth such request since 2006 to declare a home a nuisance and the third on the South Side. Earlier this year, a 37 N. Hine St. home on the East Side police dubbed the ``Chicken Shack' (although no one can tell me why. After all there is a big difference between crack and poultry) was declared a nuisance. Additionally, the home at 542 W. Glenaven Ave. is up the street from another West Glenaven Avenue home that was declared a nuisance for the same reason in the winter of 2006. A couple officers I spoke to this week said the city should be filing these requests once a week.

Jerry Reed: 1937-2008
Tue, September 2, 2008 @ 3:20PM
The Associated Press sent out a story today that singer/actor Jerry Reed died Monday at age 71 from complications from emphysema. It caught my attention, not just because I grew up watching “Hee Haw” (must have been a childhood crush on Barbi Benton) and “Smokey and the Bandit.” Jerry Reed holds the distinction of being the first entertainment story I did for the Tribune Chronicle. I started at the newspaper in June 1984, and like many new reporters I was assigned to cover the Trumbull County Fair the following month. I thought it was a great assignment. We’ve changed owners enough times since then that I feel safe in confessing that I spent more than a couple work hours sipping milk shakes and betting on harness races. But I also got to see Jerry Reed perform at the fair that year and interview him on his tour bus after the show.

It's finally here
Sat, September 6, 2008 @ 12:04PM
The start of training camp is enjoyable because it means that the NFL is back, but it doesn't compare to the first Sunday of the regular season. For football junkies, the start of the NFL regular season is about as good as it gets. From the morning pregame shows until the final play of the night game, there's never a dull moment. One reason why the start of the season is so welcomed is because of the length of training camps. The Browns opened camp July 23, 46 days before the first game. There were a lot of mundane practices and four preseason games to get to Sept. 7. I believe that camps should be shortened and the number of preseason games reduced to two. The regular season could then take on two more games. Practices and meaningless preseason games are nothing more than opportunities to get players hurt. No one knows more about that than Browns coach Romeo Crennel, who's dealt with numerous injuries to key players.

Are the Buckeyes ready?
Sun, September 7, 2008 @ 2:13AM
So are you an optimist or a pessimist when it comes to the Ohio State Buckeyes? Today, after watching Ohio State struggle to beat the Ohio Bobcats, there are likely more pessimists out there. Some of them vented on Columbus-area radio shows in the hours immediately after the Buckeyes' 26-14 victory. Some blame the players for not executing. Some blame the coaching staff, including Jim Tressel, for a vanilla game plan on both sides of the ball and few adjustments when those original plans clearly weren't working against the lowly Bobcats. I'll agree, to a point, with the pessimists who say there is no way Ohio State can beat Southern California next week. If the Buckeyes play like they did Saturday against the Trojans, their trip to Los Angeles won't be one to remember. At least not for the reasons Ohio State fans would prefer. The Buckeyes have to bring their "A" game to Southern California.

Some things are puzzling
Fri, September 5, 2008 @ 4:21PM
Just a few random observations: Oil and Earth: I was changing the oil in my truck last weekend, and, as I looked at the bucket of used, black oil I started thinking. I take used motor oil to a local garage for disposal. But if I dumped it in the backyard, or down the drain, serious consequences would surely meet me. Have you ever paid attention to how the streets and roads are blacktopped? The amount of oil/tar that goes down by the dumptruck load is massive. Why is that OK? What's the difference? Gas pumps: Why are gas stations not required to have battery backup at the pumps? Every time the power goes off, be it from a storm or other means, we hear about people not being able to get gasoline. Itás especially relevant in hurricane-prone areas. If the pumps had batteries, and the cash registers as well, people still could evacuate or go on about their daily business.
