CLEVELAND — A skin cancer survivor is baffled after she was ticketed for tinted windows, despite telling the officer the tint was for health reasons, and she said the city would not work with her on a solution.Parma Heights, Ohio resident Shannon Coughlin said she was running an errand in Brooklyn, Ohio on Sept. 14 when she was pulled over by a police officer.Body cam footage obtained by WEWS shows the exchange between Coughlin and the officer.“The reason I stopped you [is] your windows are too dark,” the officer can be heard saying in the video.Later in the video, Coughlin explained why she had to have the tint installed — she used to have skin cancer.She showed us pictures from her past surgery.“I told him I had the tint put on there because I was diagnosed a couple years ago with skin cancer, and the doctor had said that I should take any precautions that I could,” she said. “I’m just trying to avoid getting another scar on my neck.”The officer told her she would need to keep a note from her doctor in her car while driving. She didn’t know.“[I was] shocked,” she said. “Beyond shocked.”He also told her if she had documentation, she could bring it to court.Later that month, her doctor wrote her a note that said, in part, the “tint is considered medically necessary.” Skin cancer survivor Shannon Coughlin got a letter from her doctor after the ticket from Brooklyn Police was written. She knows now to carry this with her in case she gets stopped again.Between a fine and court costs, Coughlin faced a 0 ticket for tinted windows. She said she asked the mayor’s court clerk if she can schedule a meeting to speak with the mayor or another city official to discuss the ticket and her reason for needing the tint.Coughlin said the city told her the only time she could speak with an official was during her court session.WEWS checked with the mayor’s court clerk, who confirmed that the only time to discuss a ticket is when coming in during a court date.Coughlin said she had just gotten a new job, and she didn't think going to court to fight the 0 fine was worth the impact on her job. She waived her right to a court hearing and paid the ticket.“No one was listening or giving me any kind of chance,” she said. “I still had to pay the fine.”WEWS requested an on-camera interview with Brooklyn Mayor Katie Gallagher about Coughlin’s incident. She declined but did answer questions via email, which you can read in full at the end of this story.Her statement said, in part, “[Coughlin] did not reach out to my office about this matter at any point.”“The Brooklyn patrol officer wrote the ticket based on the information he had available to him at the time of the stop, which did not include any medical information,” Gallagher said. “Ms. Coughlin then paid the ticket instead of coming to court and presenting the note she received from her doctor after the ticket was written.”WEWS also reached out to Brooklyn Police Chief Scott Mielke, who said in Coughlin’s case, he would have fielded questions about the tinted window ticket.Gallagher also said the city’s administration sets the waiver schedule with help from the magistrate, police, Ohio law and, in part, what other communities do.WEWS looked at public court fees and fines for 10 other similar sized cities, including: Beachwood, Bedford Heights, Macedonia, Oberlin, Ravenna, Seven Hills, Sheffield Lake, Wlloughby Hills, University Heights and Vermillion.Not one specifically lists tinted windows in their waiver schedules. Brooklyn does.WEWS also compared the 0 fine to other violations in Brooklyn. For example, a driver can get into an accident with property damage and it costs just as much.Some traffic violations in the city that have smaller fines than tinted windows. This includes driving 15 miles per hour over the speed limit, child restraint issues, driving an unsafe vehicle and trick riding.Gallagher told us “…any traffic violation can be considered serious.”Coughlin believes she should’ve received a warning for her tinted windows. She also believes she should have had a chance to speak with city officials about her need for the tint.“I don’t think getting ticketed for having something medically necessary was at all deserved,” Coughlin said.You can read Gallagher’s responses to questions below:What part of the city's government comes up with the waiver schedule? I have been told the administration sets those fees but I haven't gotten confirmation on that just yet. The administration establishes the waiver schedule with consultation with from the magistrate and clerk of courts.How are they determined? Court costs are determined first, and then appropriate fines are added.Are there comparisons to other like-communities and then you adapt to fit your needs? Other communities' waiver schedules are considered in part, yes.Is there a rule or something in the Ohio Revised Code that helps guide you on where to set the waiver fees? The Revised Code establishes the maximum fines for misdemeanor and traffic offenses based on the level of offense, and we do not exceed those.Does the police department help with setting the fees? The department assists in gathering information for the administration's review of a proposed waiver schedule.We did notice the tinted window violation comes with a 0 total fee. That total includes in court costs and an fine. We also noticed other violations like driving left side of road, right of way to public safety vehicles, etc. have the same fee. Are those violations equal in severity to tinted windows in your mind? Depending on the circumstances of a particular incident (as suggested by the newly enacted H.B. 95 [legislature.ohio.gov] ), any traffic violation can be considered serious, and as with every mayor's and municipal court, waiver schedules take that into account. It is also why people who do not wish to waive their right to appear have the right to come to court to speak to a magistrate.Other violations in the waiver schedule show speeding up to 15 mph over the given limit, stop/yield signs, traffic lights/red light, one-way street, seatbelt passenger, driver and a child restraint are all less than the tinted windows violation. Do you view tinted windows as a higher violation than those moving and/or safety constraint violations?  My prior response addresses this question.There are also violations called "trick riding" and "unsafe vehicle" that are at 5 and 5, respectively. Do you also view these as violations not equal to the tinted windows violation? My prior response addresses this question. 6674

I try to let everybody else be themselves,” Parton told the magazine.The interview goes into her history as a country music star, creating her many businesses and media opportunities, and how she’s trying to plan for the future. 868

Could the no-calorie sweetener you rely on to replace sugar in your diet actually cause weight gain instead of the weight loss you were expecting?The answer may be yes, according to a new study."Artificial sweeteners are not risk-free," said Brian Hoffmann, assistant professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the Medical College of Wisconsin and Marquette University, and a lead author of the study. "They are a very controversial topic when it comes to health and nutrition ... but they're so prevalent in society that I think we owe it to ourselves to try and figure out what's actually going on."Hoffmann presented his new research Sunday at the annual?Experimental Biology meeting in San Diego. Relying on rats and human cell cultures, his team identified a number of pathways linking artificial sweeteners with metabolic changes at the genetic level that could lead to diabetes and obesity. Specifically, the researchers found that three weeks of exposure to aspartame and acesulfame potassium -- two artificial sweeteners frequently combined in products such as Equal -- altered the expression of certain genes responsible for lipid metabolism in the cells of both rats and humans."Aspartame had some significant changes, and one of those was an increase in lipids in the bloodstream and a decrease in a biomolecule that is involved in clearing (lipids) from the bloodstream. And we saw the exact same thing with the acesulfame potassium," Hoffmann said."We then took those particular sweeteners and put them on endothelial cells -- the cells that line the blood vessels and would be exposed to them in the body -- and we detected a marked dysfunction, suggesting why sweeteners and diet soda have been linked to potential cardiovascular problems," he added.What was perhaps most surprising, according to Hoffmann, was that these metabolic changes did not occur in the presence of natural sugars such as glucose and fructose. This suggests that artificial sweeteners could contribute to metabolic disorders such as diabetes and obesity by an entirely different mechanism than natural sugars, he said.Artificial sweeteners appear to contribute to metabolic disorders by altering the activity of certain genes responsible for the breakdown of macromolecules such as fats and proteins, Hoffmann said. This is different from normal sugars, which contribute to cardiovascular disease through insulin resistance and by damaging the cells lining the body's blood vessels."People are generally consuming non-nutritive sweeteners believing they are a 'healthy choice,' but this may not be true," said research scientist Meghan Azad of the University of Manitoba in Winnipeg, who was not involved in the new study."This is especially important given the widespread and increasing consumption of artificial sweeteners in the general population and the increasing use of artificial sweeteners in our food supply," said Azad, who has authored a paper that reviewed a number of studies on the potential downside of artificial sweeteners on weight and health.According to Azad, over 40% of adult Americans consume no-cal sweeteners on a daily basis, and studies that measure the sweeteners in blood and urine show that many people who report not using artificial sweeteners are unknowingly consuming them.It's the latest assault in the ongoing debate over artificial sweeteners and their impact on health -- a debate that began when one of our most popular foods, sugar, turned sour in terms of health. 3527

Country music star and philanthropist Dolly Parton is being credited for saving the life of a young co-star while filming her latest Christmas movie."We were on set, and I was at the hot chocolate station, and they said 'Go back to your beginning positions,'" Talia Hill, age 9, said in an interview with Inside Edition. "So, there is a vehicle moving, and I was walking, and then somebody grabbed me and pulled me back and I looked up and it was Dolly Parton."Hill said she was in shock.“And she said ‘"Well, I am an angel, you know,’” a reference to Parton’s role in the Netflix film “Christmas on the Square.”“She hugged me and shook me and said, 'I saved your life!'" Hill said. "And my mom's going, 'Yes, you did, Dolly Parton. Yes, you did!'"Hill was cast in the new holiday film alongside her older brothers, Tristan and Tyson.In addition to “Christmas on the Square,” this season Parton released her first full length Christmas album in 30 years, “A Very Holly Dolly Christmas,” which was turned into a TV broadcast special on CBS. 1047
