D-Day Ohio cleans up Conneaut Township Park
CONNEAUT — D-Day Ohio began clean up of Conneaut Township Park, after the event had three clear days. D-Day Ohio COO Lori McLaughlin said she expected the clean up of the park to be done by the end of the day Monday. 'We hire movers to actually do a lot of the heavy moving, because the volunteers are physically spent,' she said. Last year, the event ended early Saturday because of heavy rains. 'Everything went really well weather wise,' McLaughlin said of the 2025 event. She said this year's D-Day drew out large crowds of people having fun. 'People seemed really excited,' McLaughlin said. D-Day Ohio CEO Betsy Bashore said she was happy with the clear weather, but hopes next year is a little cooler. 'Our weather was fabulous for this, but it was a little hot,' she said. McLaughlin said there were few heat exhaustions and D-Day volunteers worked to provide people with water everyday. 'That was our goal,' she said. Bashore said this year's D-Day Conneaut ran more smoothly relative to past years. Paratroopers returned to D-Day for the third year in a row, with jumps happening at the Northeast Ohio Regional Airport in Denmark Township. Russ Battiato, of W&R Vets, said they are planning to be back next year, and this year's jumps could not have gone any better. There were a total of 400 parachute drops with just under 90 jumpers. Nine of 12 students in the organization's paratrooper program graduated after completing at least five jumps. Some of the students were part of the Ohio National Guard, Battiato said. Ohio Secretary of State and veteran paratrooper Frank LaRose was among Saturday's jumpers. 'It went fantastic,' Battiato said. Ohio Republican 2026 gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy also made an appearance at the airport, where he got to go up in the C-47 with other VIPs, Battiato said. Ramaswamy went to Conneaut Township Park, where he watched a reenactment, McLaughlin said. 'His family was there,' she said. McLaughlin was happy to see youth interest continue in D-Day Conneaut, with children 7-10 years old dressing up and having an event before the main battle, she said. 'They play battle,' she said. 'That's our future re-enactors.' McLaughlin said she hopes to see the children come back and participate in D-Day Conneaut in years to come. 'That's my assurance that this reenactment will continue,' she said. D-Day Ohio is already in the early stages of planning for next year's D-Day Conneaut, which will go from Aug. 13-15. The non-profit sets its dates out four-five years ahead of time to give re-enactors plenty of time to schedule vacations, McLaughlin said. McLaughlin said D-Day Ohio has its volunteers take notes and write after action reports on how they thought D-Day Conneaut went and what suggestions they have for next year. 'We learn from others,' she said. D-Day Ohio will start meetings to prepare for next year around October, McLaughlin said. Bashore wants to improve the sound system for D-Day, too, she said. People had trouble leaving D-Day Saturday, when a train was stuck on the railroad, blocking much north and southbound traffic in the city. 'Traffic pretty much came to a standstill,' McLaughlin said. The Conneaut Police Department had to step in and direct people west so they could leave the city, she said. McLaughlin said she is going to reach out to the CPD and city government to see if there is a way to alleviate the issue next year. Bashore said she looks forward to next year.

Texas Unveils New Driver's Licenses With Advanced Security Features
Starting August 18, Texas drivers began receiving new licenses featuring upgraded security measures. The Department of Public Safety announced that the change will affect all driver's licenses and identification cards to be issued. The redesign comes as states nationwide work to combat identity theft and counterfeit documents. Previously issued cards remain valid until their expiration dates. 'The way driver licenses are made can make a big difference in terms of public safety,' said DPS Driver License Division Chief Sheri Gipson. 'This new card design will make it even more difficult for criminals to produce counterfeit cards, and it enhances ways we can protect Texans' identities from being stolen.' The updated licenses feature tamper-resistant polycarbonate material that meets American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators standards. A black laser-engraved star replaces the previous gold star to indicate REAL ID compliance. Personal information has been reorganized for easier verification by law enforcement and businesses. The new layout aims to make identification details more straightforward at a glance. Solve the daily Crossword

Palm Beach County news: Spaghetti models explained, chef wins on Guy Fieri show; Python Challenge results
Looking for the top stories featured on the August 19 episode of Palm Beach County News in 90 Seconds? See the story blurbs/links below. Hurricane season 2025: How to read the spaghetti models that are all over social media Supercomputers gobble up tens of billions of clues to predict the path of a hurricane, everything from the smallest raindrop to the most raucous thunderstorm, temperatures from the sea's surface to the underbelly of space and the directions of light breezes to gale force winds. The data is crunched and a 'spaghetti' model is produced. A decade of over-achieving storms have made the models water cooler fodder; is the Euro better than the American? What's that one rogue line mean? Hurricane experts say divining the spaghetti models is best left to the National Hurricane Center whose meteorologists are trained to know their biases, strengths and weaknesses. Because each colorful squiggle can carry the weight of the forecast, or mean very little. Tap here for the full story Palm Beach County chef triumphs on Guy Fieri's 'Grocery Games.' Where to find her desserts It was a Palm Beach County pastry pro showdown as Blackbird Modern Asian's Denise Elrod and Ganache Bakery-Café's Jamal Lake went whisk-to-whisk on Guy's Grocery Games Wednesday night, Aug. 13.

Forgetting a key acid for her dessert, she improvised with a pantry staple and the daring result sealed the victory.
