As the weather warms up, the playing fields fill up. Softball and baseball players appear on the ball diamonds; runners appear on the outdoor track; tennis players return to the tennis courts. The places which were barren, covered with ice and snow now are filled with teenagers running, throwing, catching, following the rules of their respective sports and hoping for the glory of victory. Coaches encourage, criticize, energize, teach, inspire, shout, warn and enforce rules. It happens every year, like clockwork: same time, same place, same rules, same or similar uniforms.

While no Cleveland sports team has won any major titles in four decades, it is a great time to be a fan of Northeast Ohio's adopted college team The Ohio State University. The last decade has been a treat for Buckeye fans. This year marks the second Final Four appearance for the basketball team since 1999 (setting aside the ridiculous NCAA penalty means that everyone must now pretend OSU did not make the Final Four that year).

˙It's providential that the Efaw trial occurred soon after the Gravelle trial. The same Huron County Children Services workers were involved in both cases. There needs to be changes at the county level, instead of only putting people in prison who did wrong because of the advice and/or ineptitude of children services employees. Let's put some of those workers in prison too. It seems that the overreaction of the county to the Gravelle case was a smoke screen to cover up their under reaction in the Efaw case. Did children services think that the people of Huron County would exonerate them because they did to the Gravelles what they should have done in the Efaw case? Kudos to the people on the jury for seeing that justice was done. It's too bad that the Gravelles didn't have them on their jury!
