Ohio Parks Division Aims for Self-Sufficiency
Norville Hall of the Ohio Division of Parks and Recreation says the department cannot yet be self supporting. He notes last year park concessions recovered 3 million of the 9 million needed to operate 58 state parks and pay staff, as the division works on an 18 million dollar budget for the current biennium and relies on revenue from park-related construction and repairs.

Farmer's Assailant Sought as Search Continues in Noble County
A manhunt continued in rugged Noble County after a farmer, Robert McKown, 28, of Beverly, was shot with a .38-caliber revolver near his rural home. Sheriff deputies and volunteers hunted the area through a second night, initially linking the suspect to a car stolen by a fugitive from a Parkersburg jail. McKown remained in guarded condition at Marietta Memorial Hospital as captives were later captured in West Virginia.
