• Gas prices force Sylvania driving school to shorten student routes (13abc.com) — A Sylvania driving school is shortening student driving routes as rising gas prices make it more expensive to keep lesson cars fueled, even while class rates stay the same. Instructors near the Sheetz and Speedway stations are emphasizing fuel-conscious habits, car maintenance, and smart trip planning to help young drivers cope with higher costs at the pump.
• Physical therapist says backpack's fit matters more than fashion (wtol.com) — A ProMedica physical therapist based in Sylvania is urging parents to focus on backpack fit and comfort rather than fashion or strict weight rules as kids return to school. He recommends keeping bags around 10% of a child's body weight, watching posture and shoulder marks, and making simple adjustments so students can carry their books without pain.
