Hi, my name is Shannon. I’m 4 months old!!! Before October, I was a very happy, loving, easy baby! Now, since I’ve went through something very tragic. I’ve had to become strong and fight so early in life. I had to spend 5 days in Nationwide children’s hospital! I’ve had to undergo numerous trips back and forth for different MRI’s, checkups, and even a surgery! They had to put a drain tube in my head for my brain bleed. I will have to live with this for the rest of my life. On the good side, doctors say I will be just fine and will make a full recovery, just a long road ahead. On the bad side, this has put a lot of stress and financial pressure on my parents! My mommy and daddy have missed a lot of work to be with me at the hospital and each appointment. My mommy cannot let me out of her sight in fear! So, she is unable to work at the moment!!! My very big and loving family are putting this benefit together to help my parents, my strong loving 4yr old brother, and myself! Any donations, attendance to the benefit, and prayers are very appreciated! I’ll be there, so I hope to see you soon!
Ashland County Sheriff’s Office Bomb Squad, Dispatched to Longview Avenue in Mansfield

Ashland County Sheriff’s Office Bomb Squad, and the Mansfield Fire Department responded to the Purdy Construction Co., at 200 E Longview Ave, in Mansfield, this afternoon.
While cleaning out a storage area, workers found an old box of Trenchrite. To be on the safe side, they called the Mansfield Fire Department, who then had the Ashland County Sheriff’s Office Bomb Squad called.
Ashland County Sheriff’s Office Bomb Technician, Deputy Joe Titus, who has received his certification through the FBI’s Hazardous Device School, is well versed in the handling of such material.
Bomb Technician Joe Titus commented, this material was old and not explosive anymore, after time it will break down, it’s less volatile than dynamite.
According to Wikipedia,
“Tovex (also known as Trenchrite, Seismogel, and Seismopac) is a water-gel explosive composed of ammonium nitrate and methylammonium nitrate that has several advantages over traditional dynamite, including lower toxicity and safer manufacture, transport, and storage. It has thus almost entirely replaced dynamite. There are numerous versions ranging from shearing charges to aluminized common blasting agents. Tovex is used by 80% of international oil companies for seismic exploration.”
