Couple to tie the knot Friday the 13th at Toledo funeral museum
For a Grand Rapids, Mich., couple, it all started at their local haunted house. When Ryan Reyher met Stephanie Briceno-Rosas at the Haunt in Grand Rapids in the summer of 2020, he was immediately smitten, he said. “I thought she was gorgeous,” Mr. Reyher said of his first impression. But it wasn’t just her looks that attracted him: “She was really caring and her aspirations were really cool.” He asked her out at the end of August, 2020, and their relationship blossomed. Six years later, the couple, who share a love of all things spooky, plan to marry on Friday the 13th at Mortuary Manor Funeral Museum & Event Center, a museum housed in a Victorian-era building that later served as a funeral home in Toledo. “We were looking for kind of a gothic venue within our budget,” Mr. Reyher said. “We decided to reach out and see if we could host a wedding there, and he was more than happy to do it.” Friday’s wedding is the first for the museum, said Cory Leibenguth, operational manager of Mortuary Manor. The building dates to the 1870s and was remodeled into a mansion-style structure in 1897, he said. It became Urbanski

High school football playoff preview: Familiar foes Clay, Central Catholic clash in Division II
A familiar rivalry will take the field in the Division II regional semifinals on Friday night when powerhouse Central Catholic hosts a rising Clay program. The Irish host the Eagles in a Round of 16 playoff matchup at 7 p.m. at Gallagher Stadium. Central Catholic (9-2) earned the No. 1 seed in Region 6, while the Eagles (9-2) are the No. 4 seed. The programs, which previously competed against each other in the Three Rivers Athletic Conference, are meeting for the first time since 2022. Central won its fourth straight game last Friday, a 35-7 home win over Avon Lake (6-6). Clay defeated Fremont Ross (8-4) at home 33-5 last week. The Irish have won 19 straight over the Eagles. “Clay is a very talented football team that attacks you offensively and defensively in a variety of ways,” Central Catholic head coach Greg Dempsey said. “They’re a physical football team.” Both teams feature big-play offenses with skilled playmakers. Central Catholic has outscored its opponents 375-182. “They are a very good team with a very explosive offense,” second-year Clay head coach Derek Pennington said.

Loss of data center causes Oregon to tighten its budget for next year
Now that the proposed data center has withdrawn plans to come to Oregon, city officials are preparing for budget hearings to find ways to raise revenue and cut expenses for next year. Officials for two years had expected that the data center, which was going to be located near Corduroy and Wynn roads, would bring in millions of dollars to city coffers. When voters on Nov. 3 passed a data center charter amendment that limited its size, the company withdrew its plans, causing some supporters to worry about its impact on the city’s budget. City Administrator Brody Walters is not currently too concerned about the financial condition of the city. In fact, there is a $3 million surplus this year. Expect cost cutting, though, for next year, when revenue is expected to be less than expenditures. Council will have to make the tough decisions at the budget hearings, the first expected this month. “Right now, we’ve reviewed the general fund budget, and found savings in the neighborhood of $1.3 million across all departments,” Mr. Walters said of the $32 million projected budget estimate for 2027. “These are not painful cuts. It’s trimming the fat.” In a Nov. 9 letter to

Unison Health opens a campus offering youth a safe place to heal close to home
Young people who have experienced trauma need care tailored to their needs. Amy Kobold, Unison Health’s chief operating officer, described one young person for whom using the bathroom felt unsafe because of past trauma — a reminder that effective care must be responsive to each child. “Our youth have unique backgrounds,” she said. “For him, the bathroom was a trigger. So working on what it looked like for him to take a shower and use the restroom in a way that was safe for him, that was very unique to him.” The recognition that each child’s personal history may shape their triggers informed Unison Health’s goal of providing a safe, structured, and supportive environment for youth with behavioral health needs. On Thursday, the mental health and substance abuse health system celebrated the grand opening of its Child Wellness Campus, a facility designed to provide timely assessment and support in a safe setting close to home for children and youth involved in the child welfare system. “These children have been through so much, things that they should have never experienced to begin with, and they present as angry and aggressive,” Ms. Kobold said. “And after some time passes, and you start
