GIRARD After recent incidents involving pit bulls, including one killing another dog, city officials are cracking down on vicious canines following guidelines from an ordinance originally approved in 1987.
Mayor James Melfi told city council this week that a pit bull has been running loose in the city, mainly in the Tod Avenue area and near Tod Park, and residents are complaining about the dog being aggressive.
He said an ordinance approved in July 1987 indicates that no resident should own and harbor a pit bull terrier.
“We have been getting some calls about dogs, which is not unusual in the spring. The dogs that have been bothersome have been pit bulls. We will not allow our citizens to be intimidated by dog owners who do not follow the law,” Melfi said.

The problems with the Johnson & Johnson vaccine for COVID-19 are “very rare” and the pause will “be short,” Gov. Mike DeWine said.
DeWine announced Tuesday the temporary pause of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine came in response to the Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommendations, following extremely rare, but severe, blood clotting of six women between the ages of 18 and 48 nationally receiving the vaccine.
At least 6.8 million people nationally, including 264,311 Ohioans, have received the one-shot Johnson & Johnson vaccine.
DeWine said White House officials described to him the pause “as days to weeks rather than weeks to months.”

State officials today called for the temporary pause of the Johnson and Johnson vaccine against COVID-19.
