The juvenile killer of a Niles police officer in 1982 has had his parole hearing moved up because of a new state law that is giving juvenile murderers more chances at freedom.
Fred E. Joseph Jr., convicted in 1983 and sentenced to 30 years to life in the slaying of Niles patrolman John A. Utlak, will face a parole hearing this September.
Authorities had originally set a 2022 date for a parole hearing, after Joseph’s bid for parole in 2012 was rebuffed. But a new law approved by the Legislature during a 2020 lame duck session and signed by Gov. Mike DeWine on Jan. 3 this year, states all juvenile offenders must have a chance at parole.

About the project or challenge area
One of the more well-understood impacts of climate change is an intensification of heatwaves. Yet, for Africa, arguably the most vulnerable continent, there have only been a handful of scientific papers written about heatwaves. Meanwhile, evidence from recent observations and climate model projections indicates that African countries experience some of the largest increases in temperature extremes with global warming. There is a pressing need to better understand changes in extreme heat in African countries. This project will address this gap, investigating recent changes in extreme temperatures, and what changes are projected to occur in future.
