 | Ohio says shale drilling is starting to pay big returns Ohio Department of Natural Resources issues its 2012 report on Utica shale returns
The state’s first formal report on oil and gas drilling in Ohio last year shows the Utica shale is starting to produce as projected.
The state has soared from two producing wells to 87, and production of oil from the shale has nearly doubled since 2011. Production of natural gas was up about 80 percent.
The Ohio Department of Natural Resources, which issued the report, says production from hydraulic fracturing could outstrip convention vertical wells as early as 2015. The report quotes Natural Resources Director James Zehringer saying the numbers “make a compelling statement about the staggering amount of oil and gas resources Ohio’s shale appears to contain.”
Earlier reports had raised questions about whether Ohio’s oil and gas expectations may have been inflated. And environmental groups are concerned that fracking, and the disposal of its wastewater, could pollute ground water supplies.

| High school sports governing body shoots down "competitive balance" again Proponents say private schools have an unfair edge in state playoffs
The Ohio High School Athletic Association has once again voted against a plan to try to diminish the advantage private schools have in the state’s athletic playoffs.
The so-called “competitive balance” proposal lost by 19 out of the nearly 640 votes cast by high school principals this week. That vote was a shade closer than earlier proposals that lost in 2011 and 2012.
An element of each proposal is some kind of formula that would account for the ability of private schools to draw athletes and other students from a broader area than most public high schools can. If schools draw too many students from outside their area, they would be forced to compete against bigger schools.

 | Cuyahoga's casino tax revenue proposed for downtown projects County Executive FItzGerald says it'll keep momentum going, County Council must agree
A trio of major downtown Cleveland development projects will split Cuyahoga County’s share of Ohio’s casino tax revenue, if County Council approves. County Executive Ed FitzGerald has announced that Playhouse Square would receive $4 million for the theatre district’s renovation.
Another $1.5 million would go toward turning the old East Ohio Gas building into apartments. And $1.5 million would go to phase two of the East Bank project, which includes bars, restaurants and residential space.
FitzGerald says the funding is necessary to keep downtown’s development momentum going. He points out that the casino tax revenues are only a small part of the cost of the projects.

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.
