A recently retired teacher from Withrow University High School s cross-country bike journey to raise money for his former school s students was imperiled before it began when his camper van broke down on Interstate 70 in Colorado.
Former teacher Mike Finnegan and his team, Rahim Spence and Rebecca Jansen-McKinnis, hope to raise money for the Mike Finnegan Health and Wellness Scholarship Fund for vulnerable students pursuing college degrees in health, wellness or education. They were towed to a garage and back on the road within 24 hours of the Colorado breakdown.
But the van broke down again in Utah the following day, was briefly fixed and died once more in San Bernardino, California. That s where the camper has now retired, Finnegan said. He wrote his team has been feeling desperate and was in need of a reliable vehicle to get them through the rest of its journey to Washington, D.C.

CINCINNATI (FOX19) - A section of Hatch Street in Mt. Adams will now also be known as Pat Barry Way.
The secondary street name change on Hatch will be in place between Louden and Wareham streets.
“It is so appropriate that City Council voted today on Saint Patrick’s Day to honor “Pat” Barry with a secondary name for Hatch Street. Pat Barry embraced us all with his love of life and love of people, always ready for a positive good time. His optimism was contagious. I am glad we can honor his memory in this small way,” Council Member David Mann said.

Saying that Pat Barry s death Feb. 20 won t stop him from helping the city he loved and its people, his closest friends have established the Pat Barry Memorial Scholarship Fund.
The fund announced Thursday will give a boost to the next generation of broadcasters and help further other worthy causes, said the release from former WLWT-TV reporter Bina Roy, a longtime friend. Over the decades, Pat found himself surrounded by a cadre of loyal fans, from Hall of Famers to countless up and coming broadcasters. Their dedication was rooted in Pat s lifetime of helping others, something that you help to continue.
