Good morning, Portage County. The local animal shelter's cupboards are nearly bare, with the Humane Society of Summit County putting out an urgent call for wet pet food donations. For rescued animals like Jin, who narrowly escaped a South Korean meat farm, these donations make all the difference. Whether you drop items off at their Akron location or shop their Amazon Wish List from your couch, your contribution could help feed a furry friend waiting for their forever home.
In the courts, two significant cases are unfolding. Dr. Jan Kriwinsky faces serious allegations of misconduct against former patients who were minors, with Judge Murphy set to rule on key motions when proceedings resume. Meanwhile, 26-year-old Corvette Pope received a 5-7.5 year prison sentence after pleading guilty in the fatal shooting of Paige Calich, a 24-year-old Akron mother whose 3-year-old son was present during the tragic incident.

🐾 Summit County animal shelter desperately needs wet pet food donations. The Humane Society of Summit County is running low on wet food for both dogs and cats. Donations can be dropped off at their shelter located at 752 West Portage Trail in Akron.

The shelter continues to care for rescued animals like Jin, who was saved from a South Korean meat farm.
⚖️ Doctor waives jury trial in sexual misconduct case. Dr. Jan Kriwinsky of Moreland Hills faces allegations of sexual misconduct against five former patients who were minors. His attorneys filed motions to exclude statements from medical board hearings and one victim's testimony as the trial began on August 11. Judge Mollie Ann Murphy will announce her verdict on these motions when proceedings resume. Kriwinsky, whose medical license was suspended in January, allegedly committed these acts between 2019-2021 and in 2023 while working as a pediatrician at Beachwood's Pediatric Place.
