Bowling tournament in Goshen raises money for autism sensory kits By Lauren Artino | May 12, 2021 at 10:22 AM EDT - Updated May 12 at 4:45 PM
GOSHEN, Ohio (FOX19) - Goshen Township Fire and EMS alongside “Autism Rocks” and The Autism Society of Greater Cincinnati will host a bowling tournament at Eastgate Lanes Wednesday.
They say their goal is to raise enough money to buy and place autism sensory kits on every medic unit and fire engine in Clermont county. That’s close to 100 kits.
Lt. Travis Ellen with Goshen Twp. Fire & EMS saus the kits will be filled with sensory items like Floam, Fidget Spinners, Silly Putty and more.
Bleasdale said the children were learning about money at the moment and had pleaded to be able to use their classroom loot to buy Pop-Its. So we have a little class treasure box that they can save up for at the end of the week and buy some stuff if they ve been on their best behaviour and they ve been on my case to get Pop-Its to add to the treasure box. She said the children were fascinated by the toys in a similar way to Fidget Spinners a couple of years back. To me it s nothing very exciting, but to the kids it s this amazing tool and they say they are satisfying, something to do while you re talking to other people. But I ve had to stop having them in the class because they are a little bit distracting.
Jillian Bleasdale, who teaches Year 5 and 6 pupils in Room 14 at Vogeltown Primary in New Plymouth, says Pop-Its appeared out of nowhere a couple of weeks back. I didn t know whether it s a Vogeltown School thing because it s just got a bit wild at the moment even over at the junior school, but I don t know if all schools are like this.

It s back to the future once again this Sunday as Reeling in the Years returns to RTÉ One for a new run.
Since the show s arrival in 1999 it’s been nothing less than a TV phenomenon. Even the (many) repeats can draw huge audiences. And I’ll always remember the first time I witnessed its magnetic effect in public.
I was up in Drogheda for a Friday night League of Ireland game between the local side and Shamrock Rovers. Arriving early, I decided to go for a pre-match pint in the nearby Windmill House.
The boozer was jammed with fans from both sides, and there was the usual pre-match buzz you’d expect. But when
