| Cuyahoga County is getting a little bit safer The county now has National Weather Service certification and reverse countywide reverse 9-1-1 is going online.
Cuyahoga County’s emergency management department today announced implementation of two new programs designed to speed information to residents.
The first is this summer’s county-wide deployment of a “reverse” 9-1-1 system. It calls residents land-lines and cell phones with critical emergency information on things like chemical spills or tornados.
Emergency Management Director Walter Topp says some communities already have the system, but this will be the first time the entire county can be alerted at once.
The second announcement is that the county has earned the National Weather Service’s “Storm Ready” certification. It means the county has the technology to monitor severe weather and disseminate the information. Topp calls this very important.

| U. of A not commenting on officer in traffic stop shooting University does not confirm or comment on report about officer's identity and service record
The University of Akron still refuses to identify the police officer who killed a motorist last week, and says its investigation into Thursday’s fatal shooting is not complete.
The university officer stopped 64-year-old James Genda for improper registration a few blocks from campus. That’s when Genda reportedly pointed a BB gun that looked like a .45 at the officer. The university will not identify the officer nor will it comment on a report by WKYC that he is Aaron Burnette, a 10-year-veteran who had been fired for allegedly using excessive force. Burnette was reinstated after an arbitrator ruled there was no evidence of excessive force.
Family members say Genda was trying to hand over the gun, which he carried for protection after being mugged last year.
They also acknowledge Genda had racked up dozens of traffic violations in the past 20 years and drove without a license. No dash-cam video exists of last week’s traffic stop, but surveillance video from the Bureau of Motor Vehicles parking lot has been turned over to investigators.

Bullying is a bigger problem in Northeast Ohio than in the nation as a whole. It happens more often and it's reported less frequently. Our region has also been rocked by the suicides of bullying victims who saw no other way out.

May 4th Remembered
On May 4th, 1970, Ohio National Guard troops opened fire on Kent State students protesting the invasion of Cambodia, the escalation of the Vietnam War - and the presence of the guard on campus.
Four students died; nine were wounded.
The scene became an icon for the Baby Boom generation. And this year, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places, as a site that contributed significantly to the understanding of the nation's history and culture.
But for many, the history is not national. It's personal. And while it's fading out of many textbooks and memories, it's fresh in the lives of many others. WKSU is taking a look at the personal stories and larger lessons that grew from May 4, 1970.
