Nearby: Jefferson, OHSTEUBENVILLE — Hoping to put the controversy to rest once and for all, Jefferson County Commissioners voted Thursday to authorize the “appropriate” officials to process more than $243,000 in unpaid invoices for a water line relocation on State Route 213 done with no vote being taken, no bids and no signed contract. The “appropriate official” would be Auditor E. J. Conn, who for the past seven months has refused to pay any invoice associated with the State Route 213 waterline relocation without a court order directing him to release the funds. In Ohio, the standard statutory competitive bidding threshold is $79,568: Repairs in excess of the amount must be advertised for bids unless it were to be declared an emergency, and even then the price tag must be under $125,000 except in cases of physical disaster. There was no emergency declaration associated with the SR 213 project.

Nearby: Cleveland, OHFrom dorm room mixes to downtown Cleveland, two John Carroll University sophomores are proving that sometimes the best business partnerships start right next door. Luc Hancsak ’29, from Hudson, Ohio, and Jack Duggan ’29, from Buffalo, New York, form JUCBOX, a DJ duo bringing music and energy to campus events, Greek life and venues throughout Northeast Ohio. The two first connected as next-door neighbors in Hamlin Hall last year. What started with an entry-level DJ deck and a shared love of music has quickly grown into a business with opportunities beyond campus. For Hancsak, music has always been a major part of his life. Growing up with two musician parents, he was constantly surrounded by music. “I was constantly exposed to music, both listening and playing,” said Hancsak. After going through a difficult period, he decided to step outside his comfort zone and learn something new. A friend had recently purchased a DJ deck, giving him the opportunity to experiment with DJing.

Nearby: Cleveland, OHCuyahoga County voters decided Tuesday that a slight increase in property taxes was worth bringing up social services to levels not seen since sweeping federal cuts diminished them years ago. Issues 10 and 11, needed to fund the county’s Board of Developmental Disabilities and its Health and Human Services, passed overwhelmingly, according to unofficial counts from the Board of Elections. Just over 60 % of voters said yes for each levy ask. Meaning those who were for the levies found the trade-off worthwhile — roughly $170 more in year-end property taxes for every $100,000 in home value, in exchange for improved foster care, job search help and mental health support on a countywide level. County Executive Chris Ronayne, who won his uncontested bid for re-election on Tuesday, reacted to the big wins with an air of resolution. Especially, despite Democrats’ blue wave this week, as grocery costs and gas prices refuse to budge.

Warren has two 100+ yard rushing games in his last three matchups against the Bengals. Back in their Week 3 meeting in Pittsburgh, an explosive run from Warren set up the game-deciding field goal in a 30-27 win for the Steelers. “They’re really comfortable with their run game, and we’ll have to be really good at executing,” defensive coordinator Al Golden said. “(Warren) is extremely talented. I’ve always thought he was. He has great ballast. Power. They’re getting the ball to him a lot on the perimeter, and he’s making people pay.” Warren ranks sixth in the NFL in rushing yards and first in yards per carry.
