Turkey with a record roams into custody in North Ridgeville
A 242 foot fifty pound turkey named Gobble was seized by North Ridgeville police officer Kenneth Beaver after wandering along Chestnut Ridge Road. The bird was taken to its owners at 34673 Chestnut Ridge Road who bailed Gobble out, despite the town ordinance prohibiting animals from running at large. Neighbors described Gobble’s mild nature, while authorities note poultry is covered by the ordinance. Fines for allowing animals at large can reach up to 100 dollars.

Senators vote to delete income tax provision for schools
In Columbus two of three area state senators backed an amendment to strike a provision allowing up to 1 percent income taxes for troubled school districts without public votes. The amendment failed 12 to 21, as opponents warned against reducing school funding. The bill would boost state support to 3.5 billion over two years, with per pupil basic state aid rising to 1,260 in 1980, preliminary Ohio Department of Education figures show.
