only on 5, a rough ride on a local road. check out the conditions we found on prospect avenue this morning. here is the problem. this road was repaired during a massive $1.6 million project just last year. the news channel 5 viewer reached out to us with his concerns. >> we're always investigating, so we wanted to know is this normal? derick waller hits the road getting some answers. all right, derick, what have obviously as you just mentioned that this project finished up in the spring, a massive year- long project. but look you can see it for yourself, we have these huge dips and -- huge dips in the road, clearly not what you would expect after spending $1.6 million. >> we should be doing the jobs correctly before getting into the problems. >> reporter: tom horseman rides his bike every day on the downtown cleveland road he says is better suited for cedar

roller coaster on my bike. as time goes on, more and more of these bumps started appearing. >> reporter: owe dot calls this shoveling. that they have road markings swarming, sometimes even disappearing altogether. >> you would think that the brand new road would be nice and flat. >> reporter: especially after careers spent a year tearing it up. the project budgeted for $1.6 million was said because of problems with underground utility. fast forward now and they're blaming utilities again. spokesperson for both odot and the city declined to go on camera, but over e-mails they both blame extreme heat from the underground pipes, thermal pipes that are leaking steam. expect these orange barrels to return to fix the problem horseman says engineers should have already known about. >> it seems puzzling to me about why the road was done without addressing those issues

several questions that we'll have for odot and the city. we'll be asking those in the coming days. we want to mention that the city is now making repairs to this road and they will be overseeing those repairs so that they are done to their standards. we'll stay on top of this. live in cleveland derick waller news channel 5. new at 6:00, a sheriff's office confirms that some districts there are considering arming teachers. we're talking about the city schools, the career center, the districts with select staff members would be trained and license to carry a gun. then they will undergo training to learn how to use a gun in a school setting. the hope is that those people would be a line of defense if an attacker got into their buildings. charges have been filed against teenagers in connection with a fire that destroyed an old schoolhouse in summit county. 19-year-old matthew swan and 18- year-old brandon mccrowski

room schoolhouse in greenship township. three juveniles were also involved, two of them were ordered to serve 150 hours of community service and pay restitution. charges are pending against another juvenile. now to our state's battle against drugs and another stark example of how the epidemic is spreading into our neighborhoods and into our homes. a little girl in mansfield had had to call 911 -- mansfield had to call 911 bob overdosed from heroin. as bob jones learned it does not end there. >> reporter: mansfield police and neighbors say what happened here on wednesday is another example of an opioid problem out of control. children found their mother overdosed in a bedroom and had to make adult decisions to get help. we are choosing not to play the 911 call that was made by a 10- year-old girl from this home on boston avenue. but the girl dialed for help after coming home from school with her brother and finding jeannie mckinniss unconscious. the scared girl said that her

needle. police suspect that this was a heroin overdose. a burnt spoon was found on a dresser and several doses of narcan were used to revive mckinniss. the kid's father was contacted to take custody of them. mckinniss was taken to the hospital, walked away from it, then recaptured. neighbors across the street saw the panicked girl dialing 911 telling us what happened. it shows the opioid epidemic is spiraling out of control. too many times kids are caught in the middle. >> i think it is pathetic that a child has to come home to find their mother, grandpa, grandmother, it doesn't matter who they are finding because it is bad. grandma and grandpas are even doing this stuff. >> i'm at a loss for words. like i said it's running rampant. and it is always going to be like that. i believe, i mean, how are you going to stop that? it is like cancer. how are you going to stop it? >> reporter: in mansfield bob jones news channel 5. well today new details are emerging about how the state is

in southwest ohio alone, federal prosecutors charged 96 people with heroin trafficking this year. northeast ohio has been hit hard by the drug epidemic, sure, but the impact is greater in cincinnati as well. hamilton county has seen more than 1,000 people treated for overdose this year and more than 174 in just the last month. well tonight we have new information about the columbus officer who shot and killed a 13-year-old last week. the teenager was carrying gun, but it looked like a real gun. brian mason was the officer who fired the shots that killed tyrek king. they obtained a copy of the police record, showing that mason was involved in three other shootings. two didn't kill anyone. but in 2012, mason shot and killed a man who was holding someone else at gunpoint. officer mason was commended for saving a 13-year-old boy who tried to hang himself. mason and another officer performed cpr to save him.

dramatic moments that four people smashed their way into a cleveland family dollar. police just released the pictures that you're seeing here as you can see them slam into the store along fulton road. the four men grabbed an atm and ran out. this happened on september 17. so far officers haven't been able to identify the men. we're going to turn now to democracy 2016 and always something to talk about in that and the countdown now to the showdown between the presidential candidates would square off in their first debate on monday night. >> it'll be something here as john matarese has been following the campaigns for more than a year now. what can you expect on monday? >> no one knows what turn this could take, which will make their debates so key. the two candidates reportedly approaching their preps will be seeing a different look on briefing books while watching trump's past debate performances and holding mock debates with someone playing

clinton and meeting with a team of advisors including roger ailes. but sources say that the sessions are more relaxed, not really serious prep work. i spoke with abc's political director about their plans for monday. >> everyone says to get the popcorn ready that we're not going to have time to breathe or eat during this debate that it will be so busy with a fact checking team that's assembled. we'll be digging into a lot of those claims, doing a lot of analysis. and as you know that they often dominate. >> that is the important thing that those moments will be what is replayed all day on tuesday and shaping the dialogue in the race going forward. on your side john matarese news -- john kosich news channel 5. >> believe it or not the election is just 46 days away. voters are already able to vote in some states. early voted started today in minnesota, vermont, virginia, south dakota. out of these states, they're pretty key because the race between trump and clinton is very tight there.

has voted more democratic. virginia more republican. here in ohio early voting starts on october 12. already hundreds of people have requested absentee ballots talking about 110,000 voters. the board of elections will begin mailing ballots on the 12th. and with this election being so highly contested, there are questions about how safe the data bases are. well today cnn uncovered new information about the length that ohio and the secretary of state says that his department asked the national guard to try to get into their data bases as they were able to find and fix vulnerabilities. we told you in recent weeks about the hacks of the voter registration data bases in illinois and arizona. at that point, john houston's office assured us that our votes were safe. saying that the machines aren't hooked up to a central data base and that at least two people with voting machines are there with the voting machines

another warm day today, but they are shrinking these warm days, aren't they? >> they are. fall is about to move in and take over. it's just not here today on this first official full day of fall still feeling those warmer temperatures. the clouds are trying to help here in mentor with darker clouds in place and maybe even some rain chances for east ciders first. it's moisture off the lake shift east. 78 with a drop in temperatures for cleveland and your record high today that 89 is a drastic drop and you can see the temperature change in color here and that the front is sagging to the south. still warm in akron though at 85. 84 in worcester to 70 in ashtabula. awaiting some rain chances from that front as well. west side we are nice and dry. you can see some of that moisture towards toledo kind of dies out. but east ciders, i do think especially in ashtabula county you can start to see a little moisture moving in. geneva on the lake to ashtabula

anyone firing up the grill tonight or heading on out for dinner, 70s with that small rain chance. we'll detail your weekend hour by hour coming up next. in a bit still ahead all new at 6:00 tonight, he puts on his cape and he takes on chemo. how he's going from superman to cancer survivor. to go forward to beat this, we will continue to beat it. >> meet the man who is inspiring friends and strangers alike. >> the new device has only been on the market for a few days and already users are finding problems. we'll break them down for you

in consumer news tonight, nearly half of the recalled galaxy note 7 phones in the u.s. have been returned. samsung says that number doubles in just two days because 500,000 new versions of the phones that don't pose a fire risk became available on wednesday. it's been three weeks since we learned the batteries in some note 7s could overheat. 90% of americans are opting for the new version of the note 7. and apple's new iphone 7

problems either. they are reporting four issues. iphone 7 is getting stuck in airplane mode and not being able to connect to the network. how about not being able to adjust the volume when the, i hate to say this, when the ear buds are in. that's not cool. but the hissing sound, that would really get to me that we have already heard about, and the home button not working if you touch it with a glove or through a plastic case. let's get it together. let's get it being called a real life super hero. >> this is great. good morning cleveland karina piza has the story. >> the iconic super hero phrases that certainly apply to simon flying through the clinical trial and making a difference along the way. the man of steel. >> i wear this wherever i go. >> reporter: is in the

>> reporter: and it is hard to miss him, the red cape, the iconic super man emblem on his chest. >> it is just who i am. >> reporter: and wonder woman by his side. today is a big day at university hospital for this super hero team. >> andrew simon 4664. the last time. >> reporter: diagnosed last november with the deadliest form of brain cancer. >> i still can't process it. >> reporter: andy simon is in for his very last treatment. because his dad is here and it is like family. i'm glad that it is done with and it's gone, i hope it's gone. and that it is just an odd feeling. >> reporter: these treatments are a part of the clinical trial, actually the most complicated trial going. after his tumor was removed he went through radiation and then came the chemo. but what makes this different from traditional treatments, the chemo is combined with another drug that will make it more effective.

so the stem cells are removed from the blood and then genetically modified to make the bone marrow resistant to side effects. >> this is exactly what we're aiming for that we have delivered a very effective treatment to someone with a brain tumor. and he's been able to tolerate the treatments very well. he's lead a full and active life, now he's going back out into the world to continue with that very active and fulfilling life. this is what it is all about. >> reporter: so let's talk about that nickname, super man. when you consider that he's been going through these treatments all while working a full-time job running races, even being there for his son's wedding and daughter's graduation. >> we just have to kick a test, pardon my french and we've beendoing that every day since. >> reporter: behind him a group of family and friends forming team simon strong. together they have raised more than $12,000 for the fight against brain cancer. that support and keeping a

the difference. >> i've never been challenged before. not like this. i had no option. i had to go forward to beat this. and i will continue to beat it. you've got to beat it. >> reporter: right after andy's first treatment, he ran five miles. then the day after his last treatment he was actually signed up for a 5k. so if his accomplishments during all of that are any indication that we can only imagine what this super man is gointo way to go andy. in the studio karina piza news channel 5. >> that's got to be something. cleveland's official breaking news site is flying over lake erie, a water rescue underway. we have spoken to the coast guard who tell us that the vessel with two people on it capsized. you can see the vessel right there in the water. air tracker five also seized coast guard boats in the water and in that area. they are looking and searching.

eye on this situation. >> certainly will. we have a small craft advisory going up on the lake because of the front that's really picking up the winds kind of coming out of nowhere, which certainly could have caused this accident. and so paying close attention to that and we'll keep you updated as well. weather wise everything is changing because of this front. the hot high that we had today that was record breaking is now going to be gone and that we'll be falling like fall once again. moving towards those weekend hours. but for right now, some sunshine here in cleveland mixed with a the clouds are certainly doing their part and cooling us down with that hot high today. a record that is now tied with 2010 of 89 degrees. the typical high should be around 71. there is a front that will be draped across us. stationary for the most part, but they will move south as that cold front will be taking away their moisture and heat. notice some of the areas are already impacted bit front through the north and cooler.

east side especially cooler. 72 at madison with a light rain that they will be holding together to provide a sprinkle or two in ashtabula. 76 in burton and 74 for jefferson, a little warmer south with more sunshine in canton at 83 and 85 for us in jackson township. the peninsula yesterday, you hit a high of 91 today and you will be staying in the upper 80s, but 87 currently. 76 in ashland. 83 in lodi with just 77 in elyria and 76 for us vermilion. overall, the fall will be starting to take shape just a little bit more. perfect timing for those friday night football games with that small rain chance as you're sitting in the stands. the players will not mind it. 76 that will start for you. but we expect those 70s to be sticking around for the entire game because of the added cloud cover. let's time out your rain chances. moisture over the lake, it is pretty true, but you'll notice back west that the yellows, the oranges, the reds, that's not really happening. so this model will be off just

us. but the west ciders, you may see that punch of about 9:00 to 10:00 and a little light rain. and then a little early morning instability along the lake. warmer temperatures over the lake, cooler over the land and the shift of the winds that could bring that early morning rain chance to dry up for us looking at the much cooler afternoon on saturday. rainfall not so impressive here initially, but i do think that on monday and tuesday they could have a drink for their yards as much as half of an inch to hold it together. rainfall is also moving ou and a nice little front on twitter and facebook just letting me know that they are happening this weekend and 61 your start. good luck to all those runners. your seven-day forecast is coming up. >> all right, thank you, andy. high school football tonight. she's in the hot chair. >> you're going to be there? >> i'm enjoying the highlights tonight. >> have you worked on adjectives? >> give me one. >> i'm ready right now, i can't give you my secret now because you're trying to put it in your copy. i know the game. >> you got it. >> i know the game.

week five of high school football tonight. more browns injuries, the indians. we'll talk about that when we

and maintaining that focus. >> while they are definitely

magic tonight. it stands at four during their final regular season. the white sox are here and we'll have highlights for you tonight that start at 7:10. joe hayden missed practice with a groin injury. the browns may need a new kicker. patrick murray has a knee issue. now, he will be in miami and lauren will catch up with the specialist. >> reporter: the long snapper charlie has been able to maintain a low profile, which in his position is a good thing. >> i definitely enjoy the low key role of, you know, not having to worry about my name being out there all the time. >> reporter: he was a tight end growing up, walking on to the university of central florida's football team to do just that. but when he saw an opportunity to get a scholarship at long snapper he jumped on it. >> did you anticipate that you would be a long snapper? >> no, i had no idea that i would be in the nfl. it is something that i never

would ever happen. >> reporter: it wasn't easy. he went undrafted in 2012 and moved around through several nfl teams. >> it's tough. you know, that there were a lot of thoughts that went through my head of whether or not that we should keep at it. and definitely i had to believe in myself quite a bit. >> reporter: it is a unique position. if people know who you are it probably means that you made a mistake. well he's not the most famous brown. he's one that wanted to be here. >> we just ve the football atmosphere is just really unlike many other cities. >> reporter: yes, he's been happily able to avoid the headlines, but his attitude and mentality quietly writes the story of a successful nfl career. >> i'm competitive. i really just want to be the best at what i do. >> reporter: lauren brill news channel 5. >> during the pre-season i'm standing right next to him and you can, i mean if you are wearing suit pants and it's the snap that goes out there you can feel it on your leg.

if your kid is thinking about being in the nfl with the size, long snapping is probably one of the longest routes to get there. it is very hard to do. >> it's a skilled position. >> yes. we're going to get back to the breaking news right now. a water rescue underway in lake erie. we will keep our eyes on this throughout evening and we'll bring you the latest throughout until 11:00. until then, weal see you then.

tonight here, breaking news. the chilling video now revealed, the deadly police shooting in charlotte. you can hear the wife's plea right on it. >> don't shoot him! he didn't do anything. >> it is the family's video. tonight, why authorities are refusing to release their own. also tonight, the narrow escape in w the pedestrians, kicking one of those bombs, placed right on the sidewalk. they had no idea. and tonight, how authorities now believe the suspect got those bombs into the city. the school bus crash late today, flipping over. pictures coming in now. three days to the debate. who was seen walking into trump tower? and, hillary clinton. the reality star and billionaire who now says he will be in the front row for her. and, the first lady's passport hacked, and 500 million personal e-mail accounts.
