📰 News we're reading
• Basketball Game Preview: Barberton Magics vs. Revere Minutemen (maxpreps.com) — Tallmadge fans will note that the Blue Devils just extended the home-team winning streak in their series with Revere by routing the Minutemen 54-19. Now Revere heads to Barberton on Wednesday night, with both teams desperate to snap multi-game losing skids. Barberton also seeks revenge for a lopsided loss to Revere last January. 
• Akron police implement AI-powered assistant for non-emergency calls known as 'Ava': Here's how it works (wkyc.com) — Tallmadge residents already benefit from the same AI call-routing system that Akron police are now rolling out citywide, through the Summit Emergency Communications Center. The virtual assistant “Ava” helps handle non-emergency calls, gathers information for dispatchers, and automatically transfers urgent situations to live call takers so 911 staff can focus more on emergencies.
