Busy Philipps will soon be free for the foreseeable future.

The actress and late-night talk show host has drilled this fact into viewers since announcing the cancellation of her series, “Busy Tonight.”

Philipps joined the male-dominated late-night lineup in October, but she confirmed the show’s cancellation in a May 6 Instagram post after only one season and just over 100 episodes.

“My show Busy Tonight won’t be returning to the E network after May 16,” Philipps wrote. “We have 8 more shows on E and then who knows what the future will bring.” Now, Philipps is trying to find the show a new home amid a harsh TV climate for female-led talk shows.

“It does seem lame that there would be just, like, one woman in late night at a time,” Philipps wrote.

Following Philipps’ cancellation and the January axing of “I Love You, America” with Sarah Silverman on Hulu, Samantha Bee will be the lone female late-night host until Lilly Singh heads to NBC this fall in the time slot currently occupied by Carson Daly.

Even novice late-night audiences could spot inherent differences between Philipps’ starring vehicle and her predecessors. Instead of a desk, she sat on a cozy blue couch. Her wardrobe featured a bright palette, not run-of-the-mill suits. Instead of a simple sign-off, Philipps ended each episode dressed in a frock dubbed “Mr. Nightgown,” waxing ditties on tequila and the guest of the night before earnestly telling the audience, “I love you.”

Philipps’ Hollywood inroads helped land A-list guests such as Julia Roberts, Kim Kardashian West, longtime bestie Michelle Williams and Tina Fey. But Philipps recently admitted, “I’ve been texting (prospective guests) personally. … It’s hard to book people on my show.”

Even with a solid guest list, the homey setup and female-first attitude — “our creative staff is, like, 89% female” Philipps said on Instagram — the show fell flat with some critics. They often denounced Philipps’ tendency to redirect interview questions toward her own experiences and rarely thought-provoking commentary. And the ratings, which stayed flat in a series of time slots, caused the cancellation, network insider said.

But few series nail it right out of the gate. Conan O’Brien had “all-but-overwhelming nervousness” when he started on “Late Night” in 1993 and Jimmy Fallon was described as “eager to please almost to a fault … auditioning to be accepted into homes” when he started on “The Tonight Show” in 2014. Those hosts, however, were given a chance to find their footing. O’Brien’s incarnation of “Late Night” had a 16-year run, and Fallon is contracted to host until at least 2021.

Joan Rivers became the first female late-night network talk show host in 1986 when she launched a short-lived incarnation of “The Late Show,” which faltered in part due to a bitter feud with competitor Johnny Carson. His influence led to some Fox affiliates refusing to air “The Late Show,” as well as guests being banned from Carson’s show after they appeared on Rivers’ program. She was forced out less than nine months after the show debuted.

Rivers’ experience with the then-fledgling Fox network is typical of the hurdles female hosts face. Unlike their male counterparts, they are handed tougher gigs (almost exclusively on cable and web-based platforms) and get cut for smaller missteps, highlighting networks’ priority to keep men at the forefront of the genre.

A recent example is “The Break with Michelle Wolf,” which drew indignation after Wolf’s set at the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner, but held lots of promise when it debuted in May 2018 on Netflix. Despite Wolf’s 81% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, her stint lasted a matter of months. Another Netflix series, “Chelsea” with Chelsea Handler, was canceled after two short seasons.

Once the writing on the wall became a cold hard reality for Philipps’ show, the host seemed to toss her remaining filter out the window. On a recent episode she spoke of being “f — king free” to attend an awards show (now that she no longer has a nighttime work obligation) and ended the show with a semi-sardonic “I f — king love you.”

A benefit, in fact, to being “freed” from the proverbial shackles of the network is Philipps’ newfound desire to use her show to speak candidly about potent and controversial issues.

When news of Alabama’s restrictive abortion ban picked up speed, Philipps took to “Busy Tonight” to speak about her own abortion at the age of 15: “Maybe you’re sitting there thinking, ‘I don’t know a woman who would have an abortion.’ Well, you know me.”

Philipps spearheaded #YouKnowMe on Wednesday just hours before Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey signed the bill into law. The hashtag trended on Twitter that night, encouraging women to speak up and out about their own experiences with abortion, in a move echoing #MeToo.

There’s no mistaking Philipps’ late-night show as flawless, and the host could certainly have benefited from PR-minded guidance (like not telling 1.7 million Instagram followers she’s never watched “Game of Thrones” shortly after interviewing one of the series’ stars), but it’s hard to not credit her for trying, venturing on rare ground. Despite the show’s determination to remain light and happy and fun and Insta-worthy, it’s Philipps’ voice on crucial issues and her unwavering advocacy for women, be it the right to choose or the need for more representation, that strikes the most enduring and crucial chord.

May is National Trauma Awareness Month.

Fisher-Titus is a Level 3 trauma center specializing in the care of a wide spectrum of trauma. Our emergency health care professionals are well versed in trauma care and with our recent partnership with MetroHealth our knowledge base, expertise, and care will continue to enhance the lives of our community.

With this, many of our community members will be able to stay close to home should trauma impact their lives.

Physical trauma is categorized as blunt, blast or penetrating. The most common causes of traumatic injury may include: vehicle crashes, gunshots wounds, stab wounds, lacerations, falls, burns or non- accidental trauma, such as physical abuse or assault.

When traumatic injuries occur, blood loss, otherwise known as hemorrhaging, results in high levels of preventable fatality. Research surrounding blood loss fatalities led to an initiative by the American College of Surgeons to educate the public on hemorrhage control.

This program, Stop the Bleed, provides education tools and resources to the public about bleeding control techniques. In the event that a traumatic injury resulting in external bleeding occurs, individuals are prepared to react while awaiting help from local first responders. Stop the Bleed teaches individuals how to identify, react, and treat active bleeding.

The class includes hands on instruction on tourniquet application, appropriate dressing application, and direct pressure application to limit blood loss. Similar to learning CPR, bleeding control techniques save lives.

Fisher-Titus highly supports this initiative. In the near future, Fisher Titus will be offering this course to the community, including local schools. Upon completion of the course, educators at our local schools will receive hemorrhage control kits to utilize in the event that a situation warranting hemorrhage control presents. If your organization is interested in participating in this initiative, feel free to contact Fisher-Titus to set up a course. Fisher-Titus offers this course free of charge.

How to stop the bleed

Here are the basic steps from bleedingcontrol.org that make up stop the bleed:

Call 9-1-1. The first step should be for you or someone else to call 9-1-1.

Ensure your own safety. Before you offer any help, make sure you are safe. If you also become injured, you won’t be able to help the victim so only provide care if the scene is safe to do so. If at any time the scene becomes unsafe, attempt to remove yourself and the victim, if possible, from danger and move to a safe location. If available, wear gloves to protect yourself from blood-borne infections.

Look for life-threatening bleeding. Find the source of the bleeding and open or remove the clothing over the wound so you can clearly see it. Look for and identify “life-threatening” bleeding. Examples include:

• Blood that is spurting out of the wound

• Blood that won’t stop coming out of the wound

• Blood that is pooling on the ground

• Clothing that is soaked with blood

• Bandages that are soaked with blood

• Loss of all or part of an arm or leg

• Bleeding in a victim who is now confused or unconscious

Compress and control. There are several methods that can be used to stop bleeding but they all have one thing in common: compressing a bleeding blood vessel in order to stop the bleeding.

Stop by the hospital’s booth booth Sunday at the Strawberry Festival to learn more about Stop the Bleed and other safety tips for the summer!

EDITOR’S NOTE: Andrea Wetherill, is the trauma program manager for the Fisher-Titus/MetroHealth partnership. She also serves on our emergency department staff and as a nurse educator for Fisher-Titus. She also leads the Stop the Bleed program for Fisher-Titus.

When a first grader at Western Reserve Elementary went to his family and teacher with a plan to save the planet using an idea inspired by a Berenstain Bears book, they had no idea how big he was thinking, and how determined he was to see it through.

One year later, Guy Hartman was thanking sponsors and volunteers at the second annual “Earth Savers Day” in Wakeman Community Park. The detail-oriented 8-year-old shared with the Reflector how he was able to make his thought a reality with the help of his parents, grandparents and second-grade teacher.

In a process he described as “not super easy but also not super hard,” Hartman got his teacher, Gayle Kovach, on board to hold a planet saving-themed poster contest, rewarding winners with gift cards donated from local businesses and a cake baked by his grandmother, Linda Hartman.

After the contest, the son of Emily Rangel and Jeffrey Hartman resolved to reach out to the Western Reserve and Wakeman communities with the help of Kovach, sending out fliers and letters inviting people to join him in cleaning up the Wakeman Community Park. “Earth Savers Day” took off, drawing neighbors and donations from the local Dollar General, East of Chicago Pizza, Sheri’s Coffee House and the Shining Clovers 4-H Club.

Though the event was only scheduled for two hours, Guy admitted that for him, "Earth Savers Day" is far from over and that his mission to clean up our planet reaches beyond Wakeman to other communities in Ohio, the United States and even the North American continent.

According to the aspiring future scientist, the only thing stopping him from boarding a plane now is the time it’ll take to learn more languages, explaining, “I want to take a few years before going outside of America, because right now I only speak English. I can’t go to China without knowing how to speak Chinese. How will I be able to tell people which park we’re going to be cleaning up?”

A “berry” fun weekend is in store for Norwalk residents and area visitors as the annual Strawberry Festival kicks off Friday.

This year’s festival in downtown Norwalk brings back everything the community loved last year — plus a few changes intended to make it better. 

The festival will be trimmed one day, running through Sunday instead of Monday, which is Memorial Day.

“Attendance was so low on Monday last year,” festival committee chairman Daren Smith said. “We talked with a lot of the businesses and food vendors and they said it’s just not worth them being out there. It’s something we’ve looked at the past couple of years. It’s not something we necessarily wanted to do, but it seemed for the best. People have graduations and graduation parties and we thought it’d be good to let the people go out and have their cookouts.”

With fewer days, will there be less to enjoy? That’s “far from the case,” Smith said.

Nothing will be removed from last year’s event schedule. Instead, the committee opted to condense the time in between activities, “to pack more into those three days.”

“We’re just making those days great. They’re going to be even better,” Smith added.

Streets will be re-opened by noon Monday.

Another change involves the food-eating contest. Previously the gorge-able dish was strawberry pie. This year it’s strawberry doughnuts. The change came after Smith went to the Huron County Home and Business show and tried the new doughnut recipe from a local grocery store. He said he liked them so much he asked if the business would be willing to collaborate.  

The doughnut-eating contest will take place at 3 p.m. Sunday.

There will be aspects for all ages and all interests to enjoy during the three days, organizers say. Young heirs to the throne can enjoy a royal princess party from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. Friday, which will give all an opportunity to meet and great their favorite princesses and get pictures.

For those more interested in trucks, fire engines and construction equipment, a touch-a-truck event will take place from 6 to 8 p.m. the same day, and again Saturday.

Smith said the festival will feature the bouncy houses and rides for children like it did last year, plus the addition of a trackless train, which will be chugging along Main Street throughout the weekend. 

Adults, too, can enjoy their time during the holiday weekend with live concerts performed by a variety of bands, a bar crawl taking place at 3 p.m. Saturday and a beer tent which is open daily as well.  

“There’s something for all ages and interests,” Smith said.

“Plus, downtown Norwalk has so much to offer,” Smith said. “It’s a great community event. People come from all over the county. There’s just so much going on and so much for every age. ... It’s fun for all ages and it really just brings people together. The Strawberry Festival is a good kick off to summer.”

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 839 measles cases have been confirmed in 23 states, as of May 10.

This is the greatest number of cases reported in the U.S. in 25 years. As the number of cases continue to grow, Huron County Public Health (HCPH) is urging local residents to make sure they are up-to-date on their vaccinations. Individuals should check their vaccination records. If they have no record of measles immunity, HCPH encourages people to get the MMR (Measles, Mumps, and Rubella) vaccine. To schedule a vaccination appointment, call 419-668-1652 Ext. 241.

In the U.S., most of the measles cases have resulted from travel outside of the U.S. There are currently no confirmed measles cases in Ohio. However, cases have been reported in the states surrounding Ohio — Indiana, Kentucky, Pennsylvania and in Michigan, where an outbreak is occurring. As individuals travel across state lines, there is a chance of coming into contact with measles in the community, especially when visiting local tourist destinations. Anyone who is not protected against measles is at risk.

The MMR vaccine is safe and effective. One dose of MMR vaccine is approximately 93 percent effective at preventing measles; two doses are around 97 percent effective. The CDC recommends that children get two doses of MMR vaccine, starting with the first dose at 12 to 15 months of age, and the second dose at 4 to 6 years of age. Adults born during or after 1957, who do not have evidence of immunity, should get at least one dose of vaccine. Individuals may be immune to measles if they were born before 1957, received the MMR vaccine, or had a past measles infection. Residents that are unsure of their immunity should contact their primary care doctor.

Measles is more than just a rash and fever; it can cause serious health complications, especially in children younger than 5 years old. About 1 in 4 people in the U.S. who get measles will be hospitalized, and 1 or 2 out of 1,000 people will die, even with the best care. Pneumonia, or lung infection, is the most common cause of death from the measles in young children. Encephalitis, or swelling of the brain, is another serious complication which can lead to seizures, deafness and intellectual disability.

Who should get vaccinated?

• College students

• International travelers

• Those traveling to states with current measles cases or outbreaks

• Adults born during or after 1957, who do not have immunity

• Family members and friends of people at high risk of severe illness and complications, which includes:

— Infants and children younger than 5 years old

— Adults older than 20 years old

— Pregnant women

— People with compromised immune systems such as from leukemia or HIV infection

To make an appointment for an MMR vaccine, call HCPH at 419-668-1652 Ext. 241 or a primary care doctor. HCPH offers vaccines through the Vaccines for Children (VFC) program. No child will be turned away if their family is unable to pay. MMR vaccines are also available for adults that are under or uninsured. For more information visit www.huroncohealth.com.

From former presidents and astronauts to musical artists and entertainment magnates, many famous role models were present as part of a wax museum at League Elementary on Thursday.

Fourth graders dressed up and decorated display boards of contemporary and historical figures, complete with self-made “press/push” buttons to activate their exhibits. With most, if not all, of the fourth-graders presenting and their family members in attendance, the students shared interesting facts they found during their research.

Mickey Nicholes, whose grandfather Rick Winemiller was in attendance, chose Jackie Robinson, Major League Baseball’s first black player. Nicholes said he chose Robinson because he likes baseball. The boy added that he enjoyed and learned a lot from the project. 

“I didn’t know that he (Robinson) was in the United States Army,” Nicholes said.

Candy Christie and Darius Pool’s daughter, Cheylynn Pool, picked children’s author Jeff Kinney.

“I love his ‘Diary of a Wimpy Kid’ books,” Pool said. 

She was surprised to learn the famous author had a family. 

“I didn’t know he has two kids,” she said.

Another author chosen was former First Lady Michelle Obama.

Kianna Shepard, the daughter of Chelsea Haines and Michael Shepard, first was drawn to Obama’s confidence. She said this quality made her want to learn more. The young girl said her favorite fun fact she learned was finding out the former first lady’s nickname, “Miche” (pronounced “meesh”).

Student presenters and family members shared their excitement over the annual event.

When Rick Winemiller was asked what struck him most about the museum, the grandfather said he was “honestly impressed” with all the students’ projects and their particular “choice of interesting people and topics.”

COLUMBUS — Ohio Governor Mike DeWine recently requested that the Ohio Collaborative Community-Police Advisory Board develop a new law enforcement standard for vehicular pursuits.

“Far too often people are killed or seriously injured because a driver chooses to flee from police,” DeWine said. “I believe a minimum standard for law enforcement vehicular pursuits would help encourage a consistent approach to pursuits, which would be beneficial in instances where pursuits cross jurisdictional lines and could ultimately help save lives.”

Ohio law requires that law enforcement agencies have a pursuit policy, but it does not define the content of the policy.

In 2016, while serving as Ohio’s Attorney General, DeWine created an advisory group on law enforcement vehicular pursuits, which issued recommendations on policies that should be considered when developing pursuit procedures. The recommendations included policies on initiating, continuing, and discontinuing vehicle pursuits to ensure the safety of law enforcement and the general public. DeWine requested that the Ohio Collaborative consider those recommendations when developing the new vehicular pursuit standard.

DeWine requested the new minimum standard during the Ohio Collaborative Community-Police Advisory Board’s meeting in Columbus, where he also announced the appointment of Ohio Department of Public Safety assistant director Karen Huey to serve as chair of the advisory board.

Also appointed were the following three new advisory board members:

• State Rep. Juanita Brent (D-Cleveland)

• State Rep. Phil Plummer (R-Dayton)

• BCI Superintendent Joe Morbitzer

The Ohio Collaborative is a multidisciplinary group consisting of law enforcement, elected officials, academia and the faith-based community. The group was formed in 2015 to work to improve the relationship between Ohio’s law enforcement agencies and the diverse communities they serve.

A total of 445 law enforcement agencies in Ohio have voluntarily adopted the primary standards set by the Ohio Collaborative, which define circumstances for use of force and deadly force and promote equal employment and non-discrimination. Fifty-two additional agencies are in the process of adopting the standards.

The collaborative has also established standards regarding community engagement, body worn cameras, law enforcement telecommunicator training, bias-free policing and employee misconduct.

More information on local law enforcement agencies that are certified by the Ohio Collaborative Community-Police Advisory Board can be found in its annual report.

NR05212019

By Phoebe Wall Howard

DETROIT — Ford workers opened their email Monday to find a letter from CEO Jim Hackett with an 8:30 a.m. time stamp and an explanation of how many salaried workers would be leaving the auto company this week and why.

The company will see 500 salaried workers in the U.S. leave involuntarily this week, and 800 total in the U.S. by June, Ford said. By the end of August, Ford projects to see 7,000 voluntary and involuntary separations globally.

However, the letter does not specify how many people in Dearborn or Michigan would be impacted. Employees interviewed by the Free Press have indicated a significant portion would be leaving world headquarters. A Ford spokesman declined to comment.

In the letter to employees, with the subject line “Smart Redesign Update,” Hackett wrote:

“Team,

“As we enter the final weeks of Smart Redesign in North America, I want to update you on our overall progress. But first, I want to thank you for your focus and dedication … To succeed in our competitive industry, and position Ford to win in a fast-changing future, we must reduce bureaucracy, empower managers, speed decision making, focus on the most valuable work, and cut costs. This required intensive work across multiple layers of our company.”

The letter continues, “We are now entering the final phase of Smart Redesign. Notifications to employees in North America affected by wave four of Smart Redesign will begin tomorrow (May 21). The majority will be completed by May 24.”

He noted that restructuring will continue in Europe, China, South America and elsewhere with hopes of completing the reorganization by the end of August.

“The time and effort from so many of our team members is helping to make us a stronger company, well positioned for the future,” Hackett wrote.

Hackett said when “Smart Redesign” is complete:

“More than 80% of our managers will have healthy spans of control of six or more direct reports, up from 35% before Smart Redesign

“Our average span of control for managers will have increased from five direct reports to more than seven, reducing management bureaucracy by one-third.

“By year end, most of the organization will be structured with nine layers or less, resulting in a flatter and more agile team. At the beginning of the redesign we had up to 14 organizational layers.

“We identified more than 5,000 concrete ideas to change the way we work – identifying new initiatives as well as work that was not value added.

“We created the new Enterprise Product Line Management organization, which will ensure we manage our product lines end-to-end for maximum customer centricity and profitability, as well as our Customer Experience group.

“We also created the International Markets Group, to focus on the customer and ensure these markets receive the attention they need to thrive and grow.

“Each skill team fundamentally redesigned their work. For example, Product Development created a new vehicle architecture and testing team, a new systems engineering and design assurance group, and expanded future investments for in-vehicle infotainment, software, electrification, and other areas. Clearly, cost reduction is a key aspect of Smart Redesign.”

Overall, by the end of the process later in August, Ford will have eliminated about 7,000 salaried positions, or about 10% of its global salaried workforce, Hackett wrote.

“This includes both voluntary and involuntary separations over the past year. Within that total, and consistent with our goal to reduce bureaucracy, we will have reduced management structure by close to 20%,” he said. “This will result in annual savings of about $600 million. We also made significant progress in eliminating bureaucracy, speeding up decision making and driving empowerment as part of this redesign.”

‘Say goodbye’

Hackett added, “Ford is a family company and saying goodbye to colleagues is difficult and emotional. We have moved away from past practices in some regions where team members who were separated had to leave immediately with their belongings, instead giving people the choice to stay for a few days to wrap up and say goodbye. We also have a range of resources and services in place to support employees in managing this transition. I hope that you take a moment to thank them personally for their service and commitment to Ford.”

Hackett ends his letter saying he is in “awe” of the skill and dedication of the Ford team.

“I hope you can feel the momentum building as we work together transforming Ford into the world’s most trusted company, designing smart vehicles for a smart world,” he wrote. “Thanks for all you do for Ford.”

And he signed the letter, “Jim.”

Six defendants have been indicted by a Huron County grand jury.

One of those suspects is a homeless man accused of burglarizing a Norwalk rectory. Ryan J. Justice, 38, was charged with burglary, breaking and entering, forgery and tampering with evidence plus two counts of theft, all in connection with an April 11 incident.

Justice, according to his indictment, is accused of stealing a laptop and a $600 check, which he then allegedly used to forge the signature of the intended recipient.

The Norwalk Police Department received the report of a burglary at the rectory for St. Mary Mother of the Redeemer Church on West League Street at 7:07 a.m. April 11. Detective Sgt. Seth Fry has said an employee reported for work and realized the pastor’s residence “had been entered and someone had strewn some things around” and some items had been stolen. The employee backed out of the home, secured it and called police.

“He (the pastor) was sleeping at the time,” said Fry, who noted the man wasn’t aware of the crime. “No one was injured.”

Officer Jared Ferris was the first person to respond. He requested Fry, who called the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI) to help process the scene and collect unspecified evidence.

Justice was arrested April 12 in Norwalk.

“We recovered most of the items,” Fry said.

The other five defendants who were indicted Friday and their charges are:

• Stephen D. Dunlap, 40, most recently of 102 N. Pleasant St., on two counts of felonious assault in connection with a Jan. 24 incident involving a Dodge truck. He also was charged with one charge each of aggravated possession of drugs, aggravated possession of methamphetamine and possessing drug abuse instruments, also stemming from a Jan. 24 incident. 

• Giovanni T. Lee, 19, of Sandusky, on three counts of retaliation, all in connection with an April 8 incident. According to his indictment, he is accused of threatening to harm “any person or property, retaliate against a public servant, a party official or an attorney or witness who was involved in a civil
 or criminal action or proceeding.”

• Michael D. Morales, 42, most recently of 4559 Laylin Road, on permitting drug abuse and possession of heroin, both in connection with an April 11 incident. If convicted of possession of heroin, he could be required to forfeit a black Samsung cell phone, digital scales and $160 to the state.

• Samantha J. Risner, 24, of Carey, on tampering with evidence and possession of heroin, both in connection with an April 13 incident.

• Garrett L. Vogel, 21, of Forest, on tampering with evidence in connection with an April 13 incident.
