Vermilion gets state dredging grant to deepen harbor by fall
Vermilion will deepen shallow spots in the Vermilion River and harbor with a $506,000 grant from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources. City officials expect dredging to be completed by fall after delays and permit processing. The harbor serves the largest recreational boating fleet on the Great Lakes and has seen increased emergency calls and a yacht getting stuck recently. Local marinas helped cover about $50,000 for private dredging to aid boat traffic.

Former captive says she knew she'd escape Castro
Michelle Knight, the first of Ariel Castro's captives, told a Cleveland courtroom she and two other women endured a decade of rape and abuse in a ramshackle home. Castro received life without parole plus 1,000 years, and Knight declared she has reclaimed 11 years of her life. He was moved to Lorain Correctional Institution for isolation and safety. The Cleveland Courage Fund has raised over 1.3 million to aid the women, who urged Castro to spend life in prison.
