Sen. Johnson, Rep. Baldridge backing firework legislation
By Patrick Keck - pkeck@aimmediamidwest.com
COLUMBUS With the Fourth of July less than two months away, Ohioans wishing to light fireworks in their backyards may be granted that ability depending on votes from the statehouse.
Current state law permits the purchase, but not the use of consumer-grade fireworks for residents 18 and older within the state. Instead, they must be transported out of the state within 48 hours following the purchase.
Now action from Scioto County’s Rep. Brian Baldridge, R-Winchester and Sen. Terry Johnson, R-McDermott, in two separate but similar pieces of legislation could bring change.

Cambridge City School District s new partnership with Vision to Learn will ensure every student who needs eyeglasses will get them.
The mobile clinic for Vision to Learn, a non-profit organization in conjunction with the Foundation for Appalachian Ohio and the Ohio Optometric Association, recently visited the Cambridge Primary School.
Using the rolling eye doctor s office, optician Nancy Mesko completed vision exams for 24 students in kindergarten through second grade, whose vision screening earlier in the year indicated a more thorough exam was needed.
Vision to Learn will return in about three weeks with the glasses for students who need them, according to Mark Scarmuzzi with Vision to Learn
