Police Chief Placed on Leave

Cincinnati Police Chief Teresa Theetge was placed on administrative leave while the city investigates the effectiveness of her leadership, City Manager Sheryl Long said.

"The city continues to face serious public safety challenges that underscore the need for stability at the command level," Long said. Assistant Chief Adam Hennie was named interim chief.

Theetge's attorney called Theetge a "political scapegoat" and said he thinks the decision came from Mayor Aftab Pureval's office. Pureval issued a statement supporting the move.

Theetge's removal follows a series of high-profile crimes in downtown Cincinnati.

Teacher-Pilot Honored

Steubenville High School teacher and pilot Natalie Campana was named the 2025-26 National Project Lead the Way Engineering Teacher of the Year, recognizing innovation in STEM.

"She brings real-world aviation expertise into the classroom," award organizers said.

Campana leads an aerospace engineering and aviation program for Steubenville students.

The program prepares students for careers in aviation, engineering, and design.

Can you believe prostate growth has nothing to do with your age or testosterone levels? Harvard researchers just revealed the real cause: a thick, chalky sludge that clogs your prostate like limestone in an old pipe.

This stuff wraps around your bladder and urethra, hardens over time, and forces your body to beg for relief with constant urges, weak dribbles, and keeping you awake at night. Fortunately, there's a natural way to dissolve it. This can be dissolved naturally. In fact, a doctor from Kentucky proved it by creating a 15-second method that flushes the toxic gunk straight out of your system, shrinks your prostate, boosts your stream, and gives you back your freedom.
