186-year-old boat law leads to suspect’s arrest in fatal boating incident from Ohio

Featured, National News, News, Ohio /

The federal government expects to use a 186-year-old maritime law signed by then-President Andrew Jackson to prosecute a suspect in a fatal Nov. 6, 2016, boating incident located about two miles off Fairport Harbor on Lake Erie.
At issue was the 2016 boating incident when, according to the U.S. Marshals Service, a motor vessel allegedly operated by Alen Gorishti collided with another boat that was at anchor.

Ohio’s deer harvest tops 203,000 as 2023-24 season nears its end

Featured, Home Page News, Hunting, National Hunting, National News, News, Ohio /

It’s nearly over for Ohio’s 2023-24 deer-hunting season, save for the last of the confetti dribbling down from tree stands and tossed out of field blinds.

With the conclusion of the four-day statewide muzzleloader deer season on Jan. 9, hunters added 12,712 animals, bringing the to-date total to 203,608 antlerless and antlered deer. Thus, about 95% of all the deer expected to be killed are already tallied, the venison stored in freezers and antlered racks at taxidermy studios.

Jeffrey Frischkorn: Fracking deal a swing and a miss for Ohio

Featured, Nature Page & Night Sky, Ohio, Opinion /

A seasonal batting average of .500 in baseball is unheard of with the best-ever being then-Cleveland Indian’s Nap Lajoie’s .426 in 1901. Even the best that Boston’s legendary Ted Williams could muster was .406 in 1941.
Thus, a .500 batting average would be a monumental thing in baseball. However, in the world of conservation, a .500 batting average is still a swing and a miss.

Ohio pollution settlement on East Branch of the Chagrin River 16 years in the making

Featured, Home Page News, National News, Nature Page & Night Sky, News, Ohio /

It took 16 years of legal wrangling and bull-headed determination by the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency and the Ohio Attorney General’s Office to right the environmental wrong done to the East Branch of the Chagrin River in Lake County’s Kirtland Hills Village.

Coast Guard making big changes on Lake Erie with two Ohio stations subject to at least partial closure

Featured, Home Page News, National News, News, Ohio /

For boaters and boating anglers plying Lake Erie between Cleveland to Conneaut, Ohio, better know how to tread water for a good 90 minutes.
That is the maximum length of time the law allows for the U.S. Coast Guard to respond in case of an emergency. And given that the agency intends to moth-ball its seasonal Station Ashtabula Harbor and severely restrict operations at its Station Fairport Harbor, 90 minutes could be optimistic regardless of what Congress has mandated.

Goldfish are not a new phenomenon on Lake Erie

Featured, National News, Nature Page & Night Sky, News, Ohio /

It has come as a surprise to many people that goldfish – not the cheese-flavored cracker types but the normally aquarium kind – are menacing the Great Lakes watershed.
So much of a startling revelation is this to a score of people that a recent comprehensive story in The New York Times has received national attention, including extensive coverage in various Ohio media venues.

Ohio hunter says he was harassed in Portage County

Featured, Hunting, News, Ohio /

A case of possible hunter harassment has drawn the attention of the Portage County Sheriff’s Office and the Ohio Division of Wildlife.
The former because the impacted hunter – Richard Page of Portage County – alleges a female fired a gun while he was hunting deer on his own property during Ohio’s recent week-long firearms deer-hunting. The latter because harassing a hunter is a violation of Ohio law.

Ohio’s two-day gun season goes well for many hunters

Featured, Home Page News, Hunting, National Hunting, National News, News, Ohio /

Very good weather on the first – and only – Saturday of Ohio’s recent two-day firearms deer-hunting season delivered a surprisingly good crop of animals.
For the Sunday – or the second day of the two-day season – not so much. In all, the Dec. 16 and Dec. 17 oft-called “bonus gun season” yielded 15,469 deer, nearly identical to the 2022 two-day season take of 15,164 animals.
