EUCLID, Ohio — An 85-year-old man says his suburban Cleveland home has been pelted with eggs several times a week for a year, and police haven’t been able to crack the unusual case despite stakeouts, questioning neighbors, installing a surveillance camera and even testing eggshells as evidence.

Ford says it is starting production of two new engines at its plant in Cleveland. The company said that production is beginning at the plant on the 2.0-liter and 2.3-liter EcoBoost engines for vehicles built in North America. It will mark the first time those engines have been built in the U.S.

A mix of unusually volatile property values and shifting school-funding formulas over the past decade has detached school funding from reality in Ohio. That was the analysis from Howard Fleeter, who has spent 25 years researching Ohio school funding and has uncovered additional issues with Gov. John Kasich’s latest formula. The proposal already has many lawmakers encouraging people to stay calm because they are looking for a fix.

Divorced with four children, Pam Harris had no health insurance — choosing between medications to treat her depression and rheumatoid arthritis or paying utility bills — when she suffered her first stroke two years ago. After leaving the hospital, the 40-year-old, who lives in Jamestown in Greene County, couldn’t afford follow-up care or physical therapy. Church friends showed her exercises she could do at home.

Debate continues on Gov. John Kasich’s school-funding formula with more questions coming from those testifying for before lawmakers yesterday. Worthington Superintendent Thomas Tucker asked that lawmakers keep the current formula, Dispatch reporter Jim Siegel writes. A stable formula “is essential if districts are to operate with the efficiencies that you, as legislators, have a right to expect,” he said.

It likely will take southern Ohio residents a while to dig out from a major winter storm that socked some parts of the region with more than a foot of snow on Thursday and left thousands without power. In central Ohio, however, the storm struck but a dainty blow. Columbus received less than an inch of snow on Wednesday night, and only a “trace” on Thursday, according to the National Weather Service.

The U.S. Supreme Court has scheduled an unusual 150-minute argument April 28 on whether Ohio and three other states violated the Constitution when they banned same-sex marriages. The court’s decision, which is expected toward the end of June, could finally end a controversy that has divided the nation for much of the past two decades. In 2013, the justices by a 5-4 vote struck down as unconstitutional a 1996 federal law that defined marriage as between a man and a woman.

The quality of police training academies in Ohio and the need for stronger statewide training standards are among the issues an attorney general’s committee is considering as it explores possible changes in the way Ohio prepares police officers.

An ordained minister and Air Force fighter pilot, whose role in helping to save the lives of hundreds of orphans in the Korean War was immortalized in a Hollywood film, died this week in suburban Dayton.

In the clearest sign yet that Ohio Gov. John Kasich wants to keep his presidential campaign options open, he will travel to New Hampshire — home of the nation’s first 2016 primary election — by month’s end. What is officially a continuation of his balanced-budget tour also will take him elsewhere in New England, including a likely visit to Maine in response to an invitation, sources close to Kasich said.

A high-profile killer will receive $7,500 in damages after a dog for which he was caring as part of a state prison adopt-a-dog program bit off part of his nose. The settlement between Vincent Doan and the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation Correction was approved yesterday in the Ohio Court of Claims.

State prison officials want to give judges the authority to release inmates who are brain-dead or suffering from severe dementia — and costing taxpayers lots of money in the process.

The state spends nearly $190 million a year on inmates’ medical care, which it is required by law to provide.

Liberals and conservatives don’t agree on much but there is this: They don’t like Gov.

During committee testimony yesterday, the proposals “took body blows yesterday from the left and right of the economic philosophical spectrum,” Dispatch reporter Jim Siegel writes.
