A dinner and dance party is planned Sept. 23 at the museum, where the Voice of America’s Bethany Station once operated. The Bethany Station transmitted World War II news into Europe starting in 1944, and later into South America before it was decommissioned in 1994.

AKRON (AP) — Jim Cool crouched in his Firestone Park driveway on Tuesday to help three kids fill two flat tires on a bicycle.
Cool didn’t know the teens. Young people in the Akron neighborhood often stop and ask Cool for help with their bikes when they see him working on cars in a garage next to his house on South Main Street.
Until now, Cool has always helped.
But Cool said Thursday that’s over. He found out one or more of the kids with the bikes Tuesday might be responsible for a neighborhood crime wave.
