Findlay firefighters made quick work of a fire at a recycling center.

The fire at Variety Recycling started at around 10 a.m. Wednesday and was burning pretty good when firefighters were called.

(ONN) – Officials have decided on whether to add two more qualifying conditions for medical marijuana use in Ohio.

There are 21 qualifying conditions for using medical marijuana in Ohio.

An appeal to add two more to the list was considered this week.

The Ohio State Medical Board has decided that doctors cannot treat anxiety or autism with medical marijuana.

According to the Dispatch, the board voted against the idea, saying there have not been enough clinical trials or evidence to add those two ailments to the list of qualifying conditions.

The next open period to consider adding qualifying conditions is in November of next year.

A traveling memorial that honors the sacrifice of the Ohio marine reserve unit Lima Company in the Global War on Terror is also bringing attention to the epidemic of veteran suicide.

Corporal Mike Strahle says a sculpture called Silent Battle has really become one of their main focuses.

“We’re still gonna travel the country honoring service, but we have a very specific focus on the veteran suicide issue right now, and we’re glad to take up arms in that fight.”

Strahle lost 23 of his fellow Lima Company marines in 2005 and says the first step to healing is knowing that they are not alone.

Veterans are encouraged to touch the sculpture to receive healing love and prayers from it and from people who have left messages on dog tags at the sculpture.

You can see the sculpture, along with the rest of the tribute to Lima Company called “Eyes of Freedom: Lima Company Memorial” at the Marathon Center for the Performing Arts through Saturday.
