Decoy mannequin in patrol car slows speeders near Toledo
Wood County Sheriff Mark Wasylyshyn deployed a lifelike mannequin in a cruiser on a busy road outside Toledo to deter speeding. Drivers brake when they see the car, mistaking it for a real deputy, and the decoy remains at 100 percent of the time without breaks. The mannequin sometimes shifts positions or cars, offering a cheap, constant policing aid.

Experts urge early voting to ease next year’s pressure
Election experts in Columbus warn against waiting for Election Day to vote as turnout may surge next year. They note 2004 long lines spurred by understaffed polling places and say changes since then, including universal absentee voting and stronger poll worker recruitment, should ease delays though a large turnout could still strain the system. Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner cites a 72 percent 2004 turnout and says early voting is being emphasized across multiple fronts.
