The 29yearold had been missing since she was last seen on august 16 near walmart off us 215 in ashland. Meanwhile held on 1 million bond. Any questions about the charge . No. Sounds fair. Shawn grate remains in the Asotin County jail. Meanwhile in Richland County authorities are still working to identify this third woman he is suspected of killing. A lot of people around the nation are talking about this story. A plan to rename cedar avenue the problem is it is the same stretch were king stomp a man to death 50 years ago. Two city councilwoman are behind the proposal which is drawing lots of head scratching and outrage. Tom beres went looking for answers. Infamous in his younger days, don king is known by most. Anybody in this area know what don king did in this area 50 years ago. He stomped his what you talk about . Councilmembers proposed renaming that stretch of cedar including were king killed a man in his honor. Really . No one thought about until it was brought out . If you know anything about history in cleveland you know the tragic situation that happened on cedar avenue. That is a nobrainer. I would even say that even don king would say that would not be signs up. Renaming this stretch of cedar for don king is pretty complicated. First they would have to on name the old don king way. So as for the new renaming . Hell no. Councilwoman cleveland pushed the bid as a courtesy. No one asked mitchell why she is doing this. Reporter we tried no luck. King parted for set to rename a football stadium behind john adams football edition john adams high school. He has came back, he has given back to cleveland. He did his time. Reporter back to the renaming. Do you think it is appropriate to rename back stretch of street . I think it would have to be some sensitivity there. As don kings notorious hair. Apparently mitchell was not prepared to answer our questions. I spoke with Council President kevin kelly he said this measure will be put off to the side not on the calendar for monday until he gets more information. I bet off their i bet after all of this black, this will go away. Any idea to get a plea is complete list. He thinks maybe cleveland is street renaming happy. He wants a more formal process. Dont bet on that. Well tributes continue to paul port in four kyle richmond. Kyle died this week after he was hit by a school bus. Tribute. It has handprints and notes all over it but the main message reads once a panther always a panther. Kyle was 16 years old. President. Barack obama was born in the United States periods. Years after he began questioning the birthplace of the admitted today that he now believes mr. Obama was american born however the republican nominee to accuse Hillary Clintons 2008 president ial Campaign Starting with so called for the controversy. Earlier today clinton criticized trump for what she called his bigoted claim and she called for an apology. On the Clinton Campaign front Bernie Sanders will make several stops in northeast ohio in hopes of getting orders for clinton. Bid. He will appear in canton, akron and kent tomorrow. Millions of dollars are coming to akron and some of it will help find downtown development. While the rest will help firefighters save more lives. We have a look at what is being done. Reporter over the last few weeks akron has had money flowing into town like water flows through the ohio canal. Th soon a tiger will be unleashed on downtown. No not the kind with his stripes but one in check for. 5 million in a tiger federal transportation grant. That is a jumpstart for downtown development. There is the university down there, business is down there. Tying all those together the city of kent received the tiger grant several years ago spawning nearly 100 million in same here. I think they should build up the main street area and also exchange to make more College Friendly and make it look like how kent state or ohio state. Reporter multiple ideas are being looked at. The second is a fourpoint 5 million safer grant allowing the Fire Department to a loud 25 paramedics bringing staff numbers in line with the citys needs. And as resources stretched thin from the Opioid Crisis this will help alleviate that problem times and basically we are just going to have a safer environment for the citizens of akron. And coming up tonight the indians continue with their push for the playoffs. What a great day. Absolutely. We live at Progressive Field. Hello dave. Reporter hello. Here tonight. That is exactly what we are trying to get to. Were looking to put the tigers away this weekend. We previewed this series coming up in sports. Thank you. Plus we will tell you why you should not only be concerned about batteries exploding but what other devices are at risk and what you can do to keep this from happening. We had a good looking at night ahead of us but unfortunately not so much goodlooking we can ahead of us especially on saturday. We are tracking showers and thunderstorms. The timing is next. The newest lines of iphones were released in stores today but not as much fanfare as norm is sold out worldwide. New models feature improved cameras and they have eliminated the traditional headphone jack. We have shown you explosion after explosion of batteries exploding. Most of them from Samsung Phone lithium batteries but those are not the only Electronic Devices in question. We have a look at how you can prevent this. Reporter im they are not just down in the note 7. All cell phones use lithium ion batteries. Go pros, iphone, apple watch maybe even your fit bit, anything with a processor uses these batteries. If you have a note 7 you need to return it. These batteries were not made correctly and they are malfunctioning. Samsung has made new note 7 and they have provided a video showing the new note 7 the shift all over the country. They have stock and as late as the 21st they will get them to stores all over the us so make sure you exchange yours. These batteries inside there is something called in electric light. It could either shortcircuit or you can puncture it. If the battery is punctured or shortcircuited here is what happens. It explodes like napalm and because these batteries are found not just in the note 7 but in other batteries here is tips to make your device safe. Use original charges and cables. Do not heat the battery do not puncture it, do not expose it to water and do not charge it in hot conditions or temperatures below 32. Have of the day. Michael in for betsy i think a lot of people will be watching the radar on their phone. Tonight looks great. If you are heading out to the try again tonight at Progressive Field it looks phenomenal.

Heading out to the game first pitch. Tigers. 74 degrees. Note an increase in the cloud coverage. That will be through the evening hours tonight. I think that by tomorrow first thing in the morning i think we will see the scattered showers and thunderstorms and by sunday after lunchtime i think it will begin to dry out. Currently upper 70s and lower 80s from oleary mansfield. A goodlooking night shaping up towards wooster and akron and canton. Drive right now, but just off towards our west you can see where we are tracking scattered showers, thunderstorms, all of that complements of the cold front. We have been tracking this since it was off to the west coast and it is finally making headway here into northeast ohio. Again i think it gets here later on during the overnight there is a batch of rainfall towards cincinnati if it holds together i am not putting all my eggs in that basket. That would get here by about 11 30 p. M. Into Cuyahoga County and downtown cleveland. Just something to keep in mind. Otherwise for the night looking pretty good. I think that by first thing tomorrow morning on saturday that is when you will want those umbrellas because the scattered showers and thunderstorms begin to move in. This is at 7 am have race is going on not only on land but also in the water as well but along the cuyahoga river. By 5 pm still tracking scattered showers and thunderstorms. That lingers into sunday morning before things begin to dissipate by sunday afternoon. Tonight temperatures mid to upper 60s low 70s. Showing the scattered showers and thunderstorms chances. Here is the thing. We pay the price now for the rain this weekend, but it all pays off into next week. Noticed upper 70s, low 80s . I think that might be some are trying to make a return into northeast ohio. [ laughter ] just giving us one last splash before fall arrived. Thank you mother nature.
