📰 Laketran Partners with Juvenile Court to Provide At-Risk Youth Access to Enrichment Programs

Laketran has partnered with Lake County Juvenile Court to launch the Transitions Program, aimed at helping at-risk youth access extracurricular activities and vocational programs required by their probation. Many of these young individuals currently lack transportation options, limiting their ability to participate in constructive activities such as sports, clubs, and work programs, which are critical for their personal development. The collaboration seeks to reduce relapses into criminal behavior by providing transportation to these opportunities, ensuring that at-risk youth have the resources needed for positive growth.

Judge Michael DeLeone, presiding over Lake County Juvenile Court, emphasized the importance of this initiative in helping youth channel their energy into constructive outlets and reduce the chances of reoffending. Laketran CEO Ben Capelle echoed this sentiment, noting the critical role transportation plays in ensuring equal access to personal growth opportunities. Supported by funding from the Ohio Department of Youth Services, the program represents a comprehensive approach to rehabilitation and support for young individuals within the juvenile justice system.

🌾 Severe Drought Grips Ohio, Lake County Stands Out with Normal Rainfall

Ohio's severe drought has led to an early and disappointing harvest for many farmers across the state, with 87 out of 88 counties experiencing parched conditions. Lake County is the only county not impacted. The drought, which has lasted through much of the summer, is depleting hay reserves and stressing crops like corn and soybeans, forcing farmers to harvest prematurely. The lack of rainfall has impacted many areas, with parts of 16 counties under the most severe drought classification, D4 Exceptional Drought. The dry conditions are expected to persist, leaving farmers facing a winter with dwindling feed supplies for livestock.

Farmers are particularly concerned about the long-term effects, with some now using winter hay reserves months ahead of schedule and even needing to truck in water as springs dry up. While Lake County in northeast Ohio has received relatively normal rainfall, much of the state has seen only 50 to 75% of its usual precipitation, leaving crops stunted and yields significantly lower than expected. Emergency loans have been made available to farmers in 22 counties that have been declared natural disaster areas by the USDA Farm Service Agency.
