OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — California highway officers say they stopped a young deer on a California toll bridge “for toll evasion.”
A photo published Tuesday by the California Highway Patrol shows the doe on the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge standing in the middle of an on-ramp with a deer-in-the-headlights look.
The officer joked in a Twitter post that the fawn usually pays the toll but “today she was a buck short.”

At the Big Ten Football media days last month, Indiana football Tom Allen called Thursday night’s game between Ohio State and his team “the biggest home opener in the history of Indiana football.”
Which, of course, leads to the question of what was the second-greatest home opener in the history of the Hoosiers program.
Without being a historian of Indiana’s program it’s hard to tell. Even if you were a historian of Hoosiers football it might be difficult to locate.

NEW YORK — Cleveland went ahead for good nine pitches into the opener when a fastball just below the knees deflected off the mitt of catcher Gary Sanchez for a run-scoring passed ball.
Sixteen pitches into the second game, the Indians burst ahead to stay when Edwin Encarnacion singled off Yankees rookie Jordan Montgomery.

WASHINGTON — Summer brings no respite for academics committed to campus purifications, particularly at the institution that is the leader in the silliness sweepstakes, Yale. Its Committee on Art in Public Spaces has discovered that a stone carving that has adorned an entrance to Sterling Memorial Library since it opened 86 years ago has become “not appropriate.”

AUG. 29, 2017 — The scale of flooding in the Houston area as a result of Hurricane Harvey is hard to imagine, and the images of suffering are horrifying to behold. In central and south Texas, an area the size of Michigan is now a storm-tossed lake. What Brad Kieserman, vice president of Red Cross, described as “the most catastrophic event” he has ever seen has killed several people, displaced tens of thousands and wrecked untold numbers of homes, commercial and industrial buildings, highways, bridges and harbors.

LIMA — Jurors in the aggravated murder trial of Ross McWay on Wednesday viewed an 80-minute videotaped jailhouse interview during which the defendant admitted to causing the death of Lima resident Wendy Jeffers.
The interview, conducted by Detective Steve Stechschulte at the Lima police station on Jan. 19 — four days after the lifeless body of Jeffers had been found at her residence at 1112 N. Main St. — took place one day after McWay was arrested in connection with the homicide.

LIMA — With limited access to transportation often being a barrier for people trying to enter the workforce or for those with limited mobility trying to access medical services, a new ride-sharing service launching soon in Allen County aims to bring that barrier down.
