:19 - No Ray today, but no problem, as Tony Mazur and Jim Albright manned the ship this morning. They touched on the settlement that Summit and Cuyahoga County had with four drug companies over the opioid crisis. Four other states are looking to similar settlements, as well.
8:38 - Odell Beckham Jr. is back in the news, and again, it’s not what he’s doing on the field. Well, technically it is, as he was fined over $14,000 for having his pant legs hiked up too high above the knees. Really. The panel, which included Kris Drew, discussed it, and Kris mentioned how he believes Baker Mayfield and OBJ are a bad fit and why Freddie Kitchens isn’t the answer at head coach.
16:23 - ‘80s hair metal will grace the stage at the Akron Civic Theatre on Thursday, as Dokken and Lita Ford will blow the roof off the place (hopefully not literally). Lita Ford joined Tony for a nice conversation about nostalgia and hearing hard rock music at grocery stores.

Student Athletes of the Week: Allison Spears and Tim Jervis: Norton HS
This week our 1590 WAKR Female Student Athlete of the Week is Allison Spears, a senior soccer player from Norton High School.
She says that being a Norton Student Athlete is something truly special.
“Going to practice every day and just smiling and laughing and walking through the halls and seeing my teammates every day.”
In 2019, she was named a team captain and was also a recipient of the PTC Scholar Athlete Award. She says that leadership is a dual role for her as she leads by example and vocally out on the pitch.
“It just depends on how the game is going,” she said.
Her coach Dan DiPasquale says that Spears exemplifies what you’re looking for in a student athlete.
“Allison is a soccer player that I first noticed when she was in the 8th grade! “ he says.
“Her dedication & hard work has made her into the amazing soccer player, leader & mentor that she is today, and I am very proud of everything she has accomplished!"
Away from the pitch, Spears is a member of the National Honor Society as well as the National Technical Honor Society and does some great work in the community as a Safety Town Volunteer for the past six years.
Upon graduation in the spring, Allison plans on attending the University of Akron to study Pre-Med.
Our next Male Student Athlete of the Week from Norton High School is Tim Jervis, a senior football player.
Tim says the atmosphere for Norton and their student athletes is second to none.
“It’s nice because it’s a small community and everyone supports you,” he said
His coach Kevin Pollock said he’s a great young man both on and off the field.
“Great kid, Great grades, and huge impact for us on both sides of the ball,” Pollock explained.
Tim is a two sport athlete for the Panthers playing along the offensive and defensive line in football and throwing shot and discus on the track and field team during the spring.
When not studying or playing sports, Tim is a member of the Spanish Club and a member of Superintendent Advisory Group. In addition to those activities, he also works at the Wadsworth YMCA.
He is currently undecided on where he will attend college in the fall of 2020, but he says he wants to get into the medical field.
We wish Allison and Tim the best in all of their future endeavors.

Student Athletes of the Week: Joey Klein and Alanna Ramsey: Revere HS
This week our 1590 WAKR Male Student Athlete of the Week is Joey Klein, a junior soccer player from Revere HIgh School.
He says that soccer has always been a part of his life from an early age.
“I’m pretty sure it was my parents that forced me to do it,” he said with a laugh. “I’m really happy they did and I’ve enjoyed it ever since.”
This year he was nominated as a team captain for the varsity team and was also chosen by his peers for the Athletic Leadership Council.
As a two sport athlete in soccer and track, Joey says being a Revere Student Athlete is something special.
“I just feel proud, “ he said. “The years before us set such a precedent of winning and to be a leader and a captain is a great feeling.”
Away from the pitch, Joey is a member of Student Council as well as Class Council.
He also spreads his love of the game of soccer to youngsters in the community by coaching and refereeing for the Revere 2nd Grade Academy.
His coach Nick DePompei says Klein exemplifies what a Revere Student Athlete should be.
“Joey is a gifted leader on and off the field. He understands how to work with his teammates and get the best out of them,” he said.
“Joey has always been about his team first and does an amazing job making them better on the field. Whatever is asked of him on the field he is willing and capable to handle it.”
Our next Female Student Athlete of the Week is Alanna Ramsey a senior volleyball player from Revere High School.
Volleyball has been a part of her life from an early age, and she enjoys it each year.
“Honestly my whole family played volleyball and pushed me into it but I’ve had zero regrets going into volleyball,” she said.
As a two sport athlete participating in both volleyball and track, she says that the community and her fellow students support the athletes across all sports
Outside of sports, Ramsey is a part of Student Council and Yearbook.
Her coach Dana Cummins says she is an example for all of the younger players and a true team leader.
“She would run through a wall for me and her teammates. She works hard every day and is a true competitor. She brings the energy, that the other players feed off of,” she said.
“Alanna is a great kid, always brings laughter each day and well liked by her teammates and It has been a pleasure coaching her the past 4 years. “
Upon graduation in the spring, Alanna plans on studying Criminal Justice.
We wish Joey and Alanna the best in all of their future endeavors.
