Blind Akron realtor awaits first sale after braille exam
Larry Liston, a 28 year old blind real estate agent in Akron, earned Ohio certification in braille last October and now lists two homes. He studies properties via tours with agents, memorizes details, and relies on volunteers to transcribe classes. Liston aims to prove a sighted tone line is not necessary to succeed in real estate.

Germantown Altered Sewer Plan Ties to Miami Conservancy District
Germantown votes emergency ordinance to revise the Twin Creek interceptor project cost to 2.7 million and approve EPA conditions on a 1,884,150 grant while expediting a loan from the Ohio Water Development Authority for the village share. The measure stems from an agreement with the Miami Conservancy District as Penn Central requests four alley crossings closed along with an unpaved Mulberry Street segment. A public hearing is set for May 3 on residential uses in professional zones and a study on Dayton Power and Light rate changes remains under consideration with a suggested village contribution.
