Cause of flickering streetlights in downtown Elyria addressed
As nightfall approached Elyria on Tuesday, many of the streetlights downtown began to flicker on and off, creating some confusion as to what was happening. Videos posted to social media show what appears to be streetlights throughout Elyria’s downtown area flickering in an apparently synchronous fashion, as each light rapidly turned off and on at the same time like strobe lighs. Elyria Mayor Kevin Brubaker said it was an electrical issue, adding that city personnel have begun to address the issue.

Galion 7th grader captures spelling bee over students from 4 counties
It was a clash of the titans. Arden McCoy, a 7th grader at Galion, and Felix Beeson, an 8th grader at Sacred Heart School in Shelby, squared off for the Mid-Ohio Educational Service Center Spelling Bee championship on Nov. 10 at MOESC after winning their respective bees to qualify. The spelling aces dueled for six more rounds after everyone else had been eliminated before McCoy prevailed with "chaperonage," which means the art, stage or practice of being a chaperone, in the 11th round. McCoy had a chance to win two rounds earlier after Beeson missed on "lackadaisical," but he misspelled "orthographize." In the 10th round, both missed their words to keep the bee going. McCoy correctly spelled "malleable," followed by Beeson slipping up on "quadrilateral," in the 11th round. The Galion student connected on "chaperonage" to end the drama. At first, McCoy seemed thrown off by the championship word, but as he did several times with other words, he worked his way through it. "I just winged it," he said of his approach to the bee, which is usually the tri-county bee with Richland, Crawford and Morrow counties. Spellers from Knox County competed as well this time. McCoy proudly stood

New director finds home at Crawford County Art Center
BUCYRUS — When Kiersten Markland walked through the doors of the Crawford County Art Center a year and a half ago, she was just looking for a productive, creative outlet for her child and a place to focus on her art. What she found was so much more. “I joined the leadership team as director of the art center in July,” Markland said. The place also turned out to do wonders for her mental health. She said that connecting with fellow creatives at the art center, at 117 N. Sandusky Ave. in Bucyrus, quickly made the place feel like home. “I grew up right here in Bucyrus, graduated from Colonel Crawford High School and still live in Bucyrus today. I’m currently taking CLEP courses in preparation for pre-law,” Markland said. “While law is on my career horizon, art will always be at my core, and I am fully committed to guiding the art center long-term.” She said it turns out that studying law makes her appreciate playing with paint even more. “Stepping into directorship was simply the natural next step in giving back to the space that has given me so much,” Markland said. She said that art is the
