DAYTON -- Tonight, as thousands gather at RiverScape MetroPark for the annual Fourth of July fireworks, their safety will be protected by some of the toughest local standards for exhibitors in the country.

For the past 20 years, Marge Schollmeyer has uttered the same words each time one of her children has planned a getaway: Go on your trip, but come home.
An unusual case involving a car accident, a dog, prior surgeries and the laws of physics has been decided in favor of the defense. A Jefferson County jury found that driver Kevin Moore was not liable for injuries sustained to Rebecca Ewing, a passenger in a car that Moore rear-ended on a darkened two-lane road. The accident took place after the driver of the vehicle carrying Ewing was forced to stop quickly to avoid colliding with youths on bicycles who were allegedly playing "chicken" with motorists, attorneys for both sides said.
The trial and conviction of a Massachusetts man this month following a fatal boating accident on Long Lake has raised questions about the adequacy of the justice system and of the state's boating laws. Whether the conviction of Robert LaPointe, 39, of Medway, Mass., on the charge of aggravated drunken driving is sufficient in an incident that left two people dead is a matter that prosecutors are discussing and the public is debating. A jury couldn't reach a verdict on manslaughter charges, and LaPointe could be tried again.

The department had said the reports could not be released because of restrictions in the federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, but the department now acknowledges in a letter to the Journal Sentinel that the federal HIPAA law does not supersede state laws on open records.
OKLAHOMA CITY, May 23, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Oklahoma may join neighboring Kansas by approving and signing into law "no pay, no play" legislation that would limit the recovery rights of motorists who are not in compliance with the state's compulsory insurance laws at the time of an accident.
