Wellington Schools parking lot built without proper permits
Wellington officials say the district expanded a tennis court area into a 200 by 120 foot parking lot without planning commission review or the required variances. The board granted a variance for 60 perpendicular spaces but Backus must file full paperwork and obtain planning commission approval.

Prosecutor seeks higher monthly payment in arson case
Grafton restaurant owner Fred Nader, 64, of Parma, serving three years probation after pleading guilty to arson, should pay more than 50 per month. Prosecutor Lisa Locke Graves asks Judge Lynett McGough to raise restitution and fines totaling 5,000 and 11,211 to cover fire marshal, two fire departments, injury costs, and adjacent-home damages. Nader admitted setting the March 28, 1996 blaze that destroyed Nader’s Family Restaurant and damaged a nearby home.

OSU leaders defend Arafat speaking invitation
Ohio State University officials defended their plan to invite Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat only if Israel's prime minister received a similar invitation. The stance sparked anger from the Arab Student Association, which dropped its plan and accused OSU of double standards. President Kirwan said free speech was not restricted and noted prior instances of invited leaders on campus.

OSU coach in pickle over Mt Olive endorsement
AP report says Ohio State coach John Cooper plans to endorse Mt Olive Pickle Co ads, drawing a migrant workers union protest. Baldemar Velasquez, founder of the Farm Labor Organizing Committee, says the group will organize a boycott in March to push for a three way contract with growers and workers. The union represents over 7,000 migrants in Ohio and Michigan. Mt Olive president Bill Bryan notes ads on Cooper's call-in show and Ohio radio. Cooper says he has not signed a contract and knows little of the boycott. OSU must approve endorsement deals and a request was left with Athletics Director Andy Geiger.
