State seizes 87 illegal slot machines in Fremont, Findlay
FREMONT — An investigation into illegal gambling resulted in the seizure of 28 slot machines at a business in Fremont. Players Circle, 1306 Oak Harbor Rd., was searched by the Ohio Casino Control Commission and Fremont police as part of an illegal gambling investigation. Officials said the investigation began after receiving complaints that the business was operating gaming machines in violation of Ohio law. “It has been consistently demonstrated that illegal gambling harms communities, undermines public safety, and negatively impacts the Ohioans who live in them,” said Andromeda Morrison, the commission’s interim executive director. “Shutting down this illegal gambling site will prevent further harm to the community. “Our enforcement efforts remain focused on rooting out illegal gambling operations and will continue collaborating with our law enforcement partners to uphold the integrity of gaming in Ohio,” she said. Investigators also seized an undisclosed amount of money. The seizure comes on the heels of a search last week in Findlay. In that instance, commission officials and local police searched the Bank at 2720 N. Main St. They seized 59 suspected illegal slot machines along with an undisclosed amount of money, officials said.

Each week, Marion Technical College shares MarionMade! stories of our many wonderful people, places, products, and programs in the greater Marion community. To read more positive stories of Marion, or to share some of your own, visit us at marionmade.org or on social media. A Marion filmmaker is bringing a labor of love to the big screen. Terry Cline and his team of veteran videographers created a new film highlighting the “Wall That Heals,” the traveling replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial to Delaware in 2024. “We need to honor all veterans. We should never forget the veterans,” Cline said. “When many Vietnam veterans came home, they were told to change into their civvies so they weren’t spit upon and called ‘babykillers.’” Veterans and volunteers who built the wall are invited to a showing of “Honoring our Veterans: The Wall that Heals” at the Strand Theatre in Delaware on Nov. 12. It will then be free to watch on YouTube. It will also be entered in the Worldfest-Houston independent film festival. One of the catalysts who helped bring the wall to central Ohio and making the documentary was Brian Galligher. He is a veteran who still serves in the Navy

Coldwater ends Pleasant volleyball's state title hopes
ONTARIO — The quest for perfection and a state championship came to an end Saturday, Nov. 7 in the O-rena. Previously undefeated Pleasant fell to top-ranked Coldwater 3-1 in a Division V regional championship volleyball match at Ontario High School. Coldwater (23-4) will now face second ranked Meadowbrook (25-1) at 11:30 a.m. Friday, Nov. 13 at Wittenberg University. The D-V state championship with either No. 5 South Range or No. 6 Versailles will be at 3 p.m. Nov. 14 inside Wright State's Nutter Center. "It was a tough one to take for them," Pleasant coach Kory Ute said of her seventh ranked squad in D-V. The Spartans (26-1) came into the Coldwater match having won two straight regional championships. Also in 2026, they had yet to drop a set in a match. However, that changed Saturday. The Cavaliers opened with a 25-20 victory in the first set, but Pleasant showed it could answer, charging to a 25-13 win to even the match at 1-1. "We just powered the ball to them, and they didn’t have an answer," Ute said of her team's second set dominance. "We served much better that set than we did the other ones. We just really
