Good morning, Hamilton.

At Hamilton County Youth Detention Center, a new garden program teaches young people how to care for plants and find calm as they await their legal cases—helping them build skills and reduce stress.

The program, started in May with a partnership from the Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden, provided 30 tons of dirt to set up raised beds for tomatoes, dahlias and other plants.

Parents in Hamilton filed a lawsuit on August 15 in Hamilton County Court against former Cincinnati Children's doctor Howard Saal—accused of fraud and evidence tampering after child pornography material was found on his devices—while the hospital confirmed it no longer employs him and maintains its focus on child safety.

Zembrodt Education Center today introduced a new job-training class—designed to help local residents learn important skills for better jobs.

Walmart recalled Great Value frozen shrimp sold in 13 states after the FDA detected low levels of radioactive Cesium-137 in shipping containers and a sample of breaded shrimp—consumers in affected areas were advised to discard the products or return them for a refund.

Federal officials said the contamination level remains far lower than FDA intervention thresholds.
