14-year-old girl dies after being pulled from the water at Land of Illusion Adventure Park
A 14-year-old girl has died after being pulled from the water at Land of Illusion Adventure Park in Middletown, Ohio, according to the Butler County Sheriff’s Office. It happened around 5 p.m. Tuesday at the lake and self-proclaimed “adventure park,” located in the 8700 block of Thomas Road. The sheriff’s office said the teenager, later identified as Mykiara Jones, 14, was not wearing a life vest and she fell into the water after being on some kind of jumping apparatus.Miami Township fire officials administered CPR for about a half hour. Jones was then taken by Careflight to a nearby hospital where she later died.”This is a tragedy no parent should have to endure,” said Butler County Sheriff Richard Jones. “These are the calls first responders dread and have difficulty dealing with. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family.”Mykiara Jones was a freshman at Middletown High School, and her mother works for the Middletown City School District, officials say.Grief counselors are available to support students, staff and parents, as needed. This was described as a heart-wrenching situation by fire officials and witnesses.Madison Township Fire, Middletown Fire and the Butler County Sheriff’s Office were all at the scene Tuesday.Originally, the haunted scream park only opened in the fall, but Land of Illusion has expanded in recent years, adding a summertime Aqua Park which features large water inflatables and trampolines. The park said it will close Wednesday as officials investigate the girl’s death. “We are fully supporting state and local officials as they investigate the incident. We would like to thank first responders and all those who participated in the rescue effort. We ask that you join us in sending thoughts and prayers and our deepest condolences to our guest’s family and friends, as well as to the team members and guests who were onsite last evening during this tragedy,” a statement from the park reads in part.

Police said the shooting happened around 10:45 p.m. while hundreds of kids gathered to celebrate the Fourth of July.Milo Watson, 16, and Dexter Wright Jr., 19, were killed after gunfire erupted in the popular riverfront park, near the city’s The Banks entertainment district.According to a statement from Cincinnati Mayor John Cranley, both of the individuals killed “may be” shooters at the park. The three wounded were “innocent bystanders (that) were shot because of the egregious actions of a few,” the mayor said.“This is tragic and made even more sad by the fact that the shootings occurred in a group of primarily teenagers,” a statement from the Mayor’s Office reads in part. “The victims remain in my prayers. Our cops have been diligent about patrolling in parks that attract groups of teenagers — and will continue to do so—but this issue is much deeper and cannot alone be solved with crime fighting strategies.”Officers arriving on the scene Sunday night described a chaotic scene, where hundreds gathered for holiday celebrations.

Steve Saunders said.Police say between 400 and 500 children were at the park when shots were fired Sunday night, celebrating the holiday.There are no surveillance cameras in the portion of the park where the shooting occurred, police said.

Big outdoor events OK under simplified Ohio pandemic orders, governor says
Ohio’s newly simplified pandemic restrictions will continue requirements for wearing masks and social distancing in public but will ease rules for large outdoor gatherings such as graduations and festivals, state officials said Monday.Though the state will no longer limit the size of such events, Republican Gov.

Gov. DeWine lays out plans to remove all health orders across Ohio
‘Victory is in sight’: Gov. DeWine lays out plans to remove all health orders across Ohio
Saying the end is in sight, Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine has laid out plans to drop all health orders across the state.When Ohio gets down to 50 cases per 100,000 people for two weeks, all health orders will be revoked, the governor said.On Thursday, that figure is at 179 cases per 100,000. In December, the figure was at 731, so already the state has seen drastic improvements. But the state still has a ways to go before health orders will be dropped.Cases per 100,000 people for a two-week period is a standard measure the state has used since early in the pandemic.”The end of our fight is now in view, but we must continue pressing forward in these final days,” the governor said. “We must not relent.”The governor has slowly rolled back coronavirus restrictions in recent months, dropping the state’s overnight curfew, revoking stay-at-home orders and reopening restaurants, bars and gyms.But the work is far from over, the governor warned.”Our path back is by each of us getting vaccinated when we can, and by each of us wearing masks in public,” DeWine said. “While no one will be forced to take the vaccine, the more of us who are vaccinated, the more complete our victory, and the more confidently we can put this behind us.”As of Thursday, Ohio have vaccinated more than 1.8 million people across the state. There are more than 1,200 vaccination locations, but only select groups are eligible.“The vaccine is the most efficient, effective, and powerful weapon,” DeWine said. “Our vaccination plan has been to prioritize Ohioans most likely to die if they get the virus: older Ohioans, those with severe developmental disabilities, and those with serious, life-threatening medical condition.”WLWT will update this story.

SNOW TOTALS: How much snow did your community receive?
And given the cold ground temperatures, that snow will likely linger through most of the week. This snowfall will be coupled with two more chances of accumulating snow this week, with no signs of melting.
A SECOND ROUND OF SNOW
Snow is done falling Tuesday. For the rest of the day, expect mostly cloudy skies with temperatures around freezing throughout the day.
By Tuesday night, another — and possibly even more potent storm center — will ride along the arctic cold front through Kentucky bringing widespread freezing rain and sleet south of the Ohio River.
Another round of snow will move in from the south beginning Wednesday afternoon. Expect this system to move in between 2 p.m. and 5 p.m. Wednesday.
Heavier snow bands will focus on the area’s southernmost communities. That system will linger overnight and into Thursday morning, bringing another 1 to 3 inches of snow to the area by Thursday morning.
The potential for more than 2 inches of snow exists mainly along or south of the Ohio River.
“Some places that had 10 inches last night, add another 2 or 3 inches, and we’ve got a foot of snow, and we haven’t made it to Thursday,” Rico said.
A POTENTIAL THIRD ROUND
Cincinnati will get a break from the busy weather Friday into Saturday, before another potent storm arrives Saturday night and into Valentine’s Day.
This could also be accompanied by the brutal cold we have been watching with highs in the teens Sunday and below zero for lows by Sunday night.
Details of this system are still being worked out, but it could bring with it more accumulating snow. Stay tuned.
