Bike and Roll to School Day returns to Bataan Memorial Elementary on May 8
Bataan Memorial Elementary will host a Bike and Roll to School Day on May 8, 2025. According to an announcement, this event is for primary and intermediate students and their families. Following a successful event in October, organizers decided to add a spring event.
Participants will meet at Clinton and Alice Street to bike north on Clinton to Bataan. There will be four starting locations: West End Community Park, the corner of Fifth and Madison Street-Fourth Street Block, Taft Hill/Park, and students can join the bike bus as it passes their homes. Training wheels should report to Taft Hill with an adult.
Community members are encouraged to cheer on students and volunteers along the route. Volunteers are needed to ensure the event's success and safety. Those interested can fill out a volunteer application and BCI check at the Port Clinton City Schools' board office for $10. Lisa Schlumbohm will assist with organizing the event.
Thanks to the Ohio State University Extension Office, bike helmets will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. The Ottawa County Health Department will also volunteer to help with the event.
In case of inclement weather or a school cancellation or delay, the event will be canceled. This initiative promotes physical activity, teaches safe pedestrian and bicycling skills and addresses environmental concerns, according to an announcement.

What we know about the shooting involving Marysville suspect, Union County sheriff's deputy
The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation continues to investigate a Union County sheriff's deputy shooting a suspect multiple times after the man shot at Marysville police officers responding to a domestic violence call. The man, whom law enforcement had not identified as of May 30, was transported to a Marysville hospital before being transferred to a Columbus hospital. His condition is unknown, according to a statement released by Marysville police after the shooting. A Marysville police officer also suffered undisclosed injuries, was hospitalized and later released. He was not identified by police. Marysville police requested that Ohio BCI investigate the shooting, said BCI spokesman Steve Irwin. When reached by phone on the afternoon of May 30, Marysville police said they did not have any additional information beyond their statement they released on their Facebook page. Here's what we know so far about the incident: Marysville police said that officers responded at 2:16 a.m. on May 30 to a report of a domestic dispute in the 900 block of White Oak Court, located off Quail Hollow Drive and North Maple Street. When officers arrived, police said the suspect pulled out a gun and shot at officers from his vehicle. The officers returned fire as the suspect drove from the scene, striking a Marysville police cruiser with an officer inside as well as at least three other parked vehicles and a mailbox. Marysville police, Union County sheriff's deputies and Ohio State Highway Patrol troopers pursued the suspect west along U.S. Route 33. His vehicle somehow became disabled in the median of U.S. 33 near Northwest Parkway, where he left the vehicle holding a gun, police said. That's when a sheriff's deputy shot the man multiple times. Law enforcement officers began rendering aid until paramedics from the Marysville Fire Department arrived and transported him to a local hospital. He was later transferred to a Columbus hospital, his condition unknown. A Marysville police officer suffered an injury in the initial shooting, but police did not elaborate on what injuries the officer suffered. The officer was treated at a local hospital and released. No other officers or deputies were hurt. The man faces several felony charges, including assault on a peace officer, police said. The shooting closed the eastbound and westbound left-hand lanes of U.S. Route 33 near State Route 4 for several hours while authorities investigated the shooting. The roads reopened at around 9 a.m. A neighbor who asked not to be identified told The Dispatch that police had visited the home on White Oak Court several times prior to the May 30 incident. The neighbor said the home is owned by a woman who lives there with her boyfriend. Police have not confirmed that they have previously visited the address, and court records don't indicate any history of domestic violence calls to that address. The gunfire incident in Marysville marks the third time within a week that central Ohio law enforcement officers have come under gunfire in the line of duty. On the evening of Memorial Day, May 26, Daniel Weston Sherrer, 31, a Morrow County sheriff's deputy, was shot multiple times while responding to a domestic violence incident. Paramedics transported Sherrer to a local hospital, where he later died. The suspect, Brian Michael Wilson, 53, was also wounded in the shooting after Sherrer shot back and was initially hospitalized in serious condition. He has been charged with aggravated murder, according to Morrow County court records. Wilson has an extensive history of violence, according to Marion County court records. More than 300 people, including several central Ohio law enforcement agencies, attended a May 29 candlelight vigil at the Morrow County Sheriff's Office to honor Sherrer's life. The vigil included sermons from two Morrow County pastors as well as an honor guard demonstration from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources. On May 28, two Mifflin Township police officers were shot while chasing a suspect who fled from them during a traffic stop. The suspect, 21-year-old Daveonte Dixon, has been charged with attempted murder and felonious assault. He was taken into custody on May 30 after shooting himself as law enforcement officers were closing in on him at an Obetz apartment complex, Franklin County Sheriff Dallas Baldwin said at a press briefing at the apartments. No law enforcement officers fired their weapons. He was transported to OhioHealth Grant Medical Center in critical condition. Baldwin did not take any questions and said that another press conference would be held Monday morning to release further information. One of the Mifflin Township officers, who was shot in the arm, has been released from the hospital. The other officer, who was transported in critical condition but later upgraded to stable, underwent an 11-hour surgery on May 29 and is currently in the intensive care unit, according to Brian Steel, president of the Fraternal Order of Police Capital City Lodge #9. He is expected to have a long recovery. Neither of the officers have been publicly identified. The FBI Cincinnati office offered a reward of up to $25,000 for information leading to Dixon's arrest. Central Ohio Crime Stoppers, the Fraternal Order of Police Capital City Lodge #9, and the U.S. Marshals Service are also each offering $5,000, bringing the reward total to $40,000. It was not immediately clear if a tip led investigators to Dixon's location. Dispatch reporter Bailey Gallion contributed to this story.

Man killed in Middletown police shooting identified
May 28—Investigators Wednesday continued their investigation into a Middletown police officer-involved shooting that killed a man and injured a woman Tuesday morning at a home on Garden Avenue. Michael Anthony Baker Jr., 47, of Middletown was the man killed by police, according the Butler County Coroner's Office. The police officers involved in the shooting have not been identified by the Middletown Police Department, citing Marsy's Law. They have been placed on paid administrative leave. The incident occurred around 7:20 a.m. during the execution of a search warrant by police officers during a drug investigation. No officers were injured in the shooting in the 900 block of Garden Avenue, according to investigators, and the investigation has been turned over to Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation. Daniel Hils of Frontline Advisors, which represents the Middletown Fraternal Order of Police, said officers made "numerous" announcements on who they were before breaching the door. Baker came to the door and allegedly pointed a handgun at the police officers when he was shot, according to Hils. "Being involved in something like this is not in anybody's plan, and nobody wants to face that type of life and death situation," Hils said. There were other search warrants that were happening in and out of Middletown and more may be coming, Hils said. A woman in the house was injured from bullet shrapnel to her ankle, according to Hils. She was taken to the hospital for treatment of non-life threatening injuries. Garden Avenue was blocked off by police tape between Woodside Boulevard and Pine Street for more than 10 hours on Tuesday. Spencer Kidd, a neighbor, told the Journal-News he heard three gunshots after observing officers conducting the search warrant. "I was hoping nobody was hurt, but that's obviously not the case now," Kidd said. BCI will complete an independent review of the circumstances, according to Butler County Prosecutor Mike Gmoser. The investigation will then be transferred to Gmoser, who will present evidence to the Butler County Grand Jury. "I applaud Chief Nelson for getting BCI involved," Gmoser said. This is an ongoing investigation, and more details are to come, including the name of injured woman and body cam footage, which will not be released until the case has been presented to Grand Jury. This is the third police-involved shooting in Middletown since February 2023. A Butler County grand jury declined to issue any criminal charges against a Middletown police officer who fatally shot a man who opened an apartment door holding a gun on Christmas Eve 2024 at Olde Towne Apartment complex. Christopher Gorak, 50, died of multiple gunshot wounds, according to the Butler County Coroner's Office. Investigation of the incident indicates Gorak was also "heavily intoxicated," according to the county prosecutor's office. "(The grand jury) determined that no indictment alleging criminal conduct against any involved officer should be issued and that the death of Christopher Gorak was justified," Butler County Prosecutor Michael Gmoser said. In April 2023, Middletown police responded to the same apartment complex when they were shot at by a suspect. They returned fire and hit the suspect, wounding the man. Kyle Kellum recovered, was indicted for felonious assault involving a police officer, but found to be not guilty by reason of insanity following a bench trial in common pleas court. In February 2023, Middletown police shot and killed a man who pointed a weapon at them in the parking lot of the Walmart on Towne Boulevard. No charges were filed against the two Middletown officers in the deadly shooting. The officers' use of deadly force in the Feb. 25 shooting of 47-year-old Victor Lykins was deemed reasonable by the Warren County Prosecutor's Office, Prosecutor David Fornshell announced after reviewing investigation results. In Morrow County on Monday, a sheriff's deputy, Daniel Weston Sherrer, 31, was shot and killed after responding to a domestic situation call, according to Morrow County Sheriffs Office in Mt. Gilead, Ohio. "Our county is a closely-tied community which has always supported its law enforcement agencies and that backing is evident during this time of grief," a statement read. The subject was also shot and was transported to a hospital in serious condition. The incident remains an active investigation.
