Granville native filmmaker bringing war documentary home for Veteran’s Day

A Granville native, filmmaker and veteran is bringing his war documentary that highlights soldiers’ experiences in Afghanistan to his hometown in honor of Veteran's Day. Paul Hofmeister, who served in the U.S. Army from 2016 to 2020, directed, wrote and edited the film, “ In the Shadow of the Valley .” He’s been screening it around the U.S. in recent months, wanting to share soldiers’ combat experience and inspire more discussion about conflict and war. The first showing will take place 6:30 p.m. Nov. 11 at Otterbein Granville Senior Living Residences, 2158 Columbus Road/ State Route 16. A second showing will be held at 7 p.m. Nov. 12 at Denison University’s Herrick Hall , with Hofmeister hosting a question-and-answer session after the showing. The film features three soldiers who served alongside Hofmeister, with them sharing why they decided to serve, what they experienced in war and how they made it home, according to the film’s website. “Each time that I was lucky enough to serve alongside them, without being boastful about it, they imparted lessons, hard-fought lessons learned to me at different times, and a lot of those stories formed the basis of what I thought would be worth capturing

Junction City asks court for favorable decision in lawsuit over seized police dog

COLUMBUS, Ohio — The Village of Junction City and two village officials have asked a federal court to grant them favorable judgment in a lawsuit brought against them by a former interim police chief, after village officials seized a police dog that both he and the village claimed was their property. In a motion filed Nov. 2 in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio, Eastern Division, the defendants — Junction City, Mayor Edwin Keister and Police Chief Amy English — contend that plaintiff Casey Williams’ case against them relies heavily on his claim that a male Belgian Malinois dog named Apollo belonged to him when English, assisted by Lancaster Police, seized the animal from Williams’ residence with a search warrant. But this is not true, they insist. “Nearly every claim (in Williams’ complaint) depends on Plaintiff’s assertion that he owned Apollo,” the motion states. “He did not.” It notes that in an earlier version of Williams’ lawsuit, the court had “already rejected Plaintiff’s ownership theory,” concluding that Williams’ allegations “more plausibly established that Apollo remained village property.” Williams first filed suit in January 2024, shortly after the dog was taken from him. His case briefly caught the

Plaintiffs in short-term rental lawsuit ask judge to sanction defendant company

LOGAN — After 20 homeowners in a Green Township housing subdivision filed a lawsuit against a Florida company for buying a home there and turning it into a short-term rental, the company responded with a countersuit, alleging that the plaintiffs were interfering with its attempts to sell the property. Now the plaintiffs from Brad-Mer Acres have fired back with a motion asking a judge to dismiss the counterclaim, and to sanction the defendant company for “frivolous conduct.” In filing the countersuit, the motion alleges, defendant Palm Side Paradise LLC (PSP) is trying to “bully” the homeowners. “Because the counterclaim is not warranted under existing law and serves only to increase the cost of this litigation, Plaintiffs also request a hearing on sanctions,” the motion states. In August 2024 PSP bought a five-bedroom house in the subdivision, turned it into a short-term rental (STR) for up to 16 guests, and began marketing it on websites such as Airbnb.com and VRBO.com. In response, 10 residents of the subdivision filed a lawsuit in Hocking County Common Pleas Court, in which they argued that using the house as an STR violates Brad-Mer’s restrictive covenants. They also claimed that the rental was creating a nuisance.
