Plain Township Opens 47-Acre Wetlands Reserve as Developers Eye Nearby Golf Course Land

Plain Township this week opened the doors — or rather, the trailheads — to its new 47-acre Wetlands Reserve, a property just off Applegrove Street and Marquardt Avenue NW that officials say was purchased specifically to protect natural habitat and wildlife. The township paid $900,000 for the land, and trustees are already working on a follow-up deal that would add another 70 acres of protected ground nearby.

These Ohio Restaurants Are Still Serving Meals The Old-Fashioned Way (And We Love It)

Good food does more than fill you up. It can bring back family memories, slow down a busy day, and remind us why simple meals still matter. Across Ohio, some restaurants are keeping that feeling alive with hand-shaped burgers, homemade pie, classic deli sandwiches, hearty comfort food, and dining rooms that feel warm and familiar the moment you walk in. They are not chasing every trend, and that is exactly why people keep coming back.

Columbus East stuns Licking Valley with fourth-quarter comeback

HANOVER ― Licking Valley was standing on the doorstep with a frantic last-ditch drive. But relentless Columbus East, which had just staged a stunning comeback of its own, would not let them in. The visiting Tigers trailed the Panthers 33-14 with 10:25 left but reeled off 22 unanswered points and held on for a riveting 36-33 Division III, Region 11 semifinal victory on Nov. 13 in chilly Randy Baughman Stadium. “(Resilience) is what I’ve preached since 1999 when I coached little league. Don’t ever give up on yourself. Always believe in yourself no matter what,” East coach Mike Bell said after his third-seeded team (11-1) earned a crack against top seed Steubenville (10-2), a 21-14 winner against Dover, on Nov. 20 in the regional finals. “I looked in their eyes. They still believed, too. I am so proud of the boys. I don’t know what to say." Seemingly down and out and trailing by 19, the quick-strike Tigers got a 65-yard touchdown pass to scintillating sophomore wideout Michael Thompson-Ayers from elusive, strong-armed quarterback Dior Hansard, then a 59-yarder from Hansard to Adreice Reed as the gap suddenly narrowed to 33-28 with 7:25 to play. After another Valley three and out,

Fmr. Gov. Chris Christie Says JD Vance May Be Too "Toxic" for GOP in 2028

Former Gov. Chris Christie (R-NJ) tells C-SPAN's Washington Journal Primetime that he stands by his recent criticism of Vice President JD Vance that "he is going to reek of the sink of Donald Trump." Christie was particularly critical of Vance over his defense of an attack ad Vivek Ramaswamy ran featuring the estranged mother of his opponent Amy Acton in the Ohio gubernatorial campaign, saying Vance has "shown himself who he is, he is a complete sycophant of President Trump," and notes that the Republicans may not back Vance due to him being "so toxic," even to the point of him not running.

Ohio 44th district race has Republican ahead by 56 votes

Ohio's 44 th District seat vacated by Republican Josh Williams is within automatic recount territory, so far. Some votes remain to be counted, which are provisional ballots, overseas ballots and absentee 11-S challenge forms. The election totals reported in Ohio are unofficial numbers because the count has not yet included those votes. Currently, only 56 votes separate Republican Edward Schimmel and Democrat David Fournier, putting it within the 0.5% that Lucas County Board of Elections Director LaVera Scott said was the automatic trigger for a recount. Schimmel has 26,612 votes (47.97%) to Fournier’s 26,556 votes (47.87%). Independent candidate Lyndsey Stough received 2,313 votes (4.17%). The "canoe" or "dumbbell" district is composed of the western part of Lucas County, the northern section of Wood County and a western section of Ottawa County. Due to its spread across parts of three counties, it's unclear how many provisional, overseas and challenged ballots come from which parts of the district. “We don’t process them according to district at all. Once the board votes on them to tell if they are valid or not, then they are generated," Scott said. "Only after that time would we be able to link them to any district. All

Ohio universities have 'slipped right back' on hazing despite Collin's law, advocates warn

As Gov. Mike DeWine signed Collin's Law: Ohio's Anti-Hazing Act into law on July 6, 2021, he was flanked by the parents of two Ohio college students who had never planned to become anti-hazing advocates. When Kathleen and Wade Wiant learned their son Collin, an 18-year-old freshman at Ohio University, died during a hazing incident in November 2018 as he was rushing the Sigma Pi fraternity, they channeled their grief into a crusade to spare other parents from ever feeling their family's agony. Shari and Corey Foltz joined the fight right after their son Stone, a 20-year-old sophomore at Bowling Green State University, died in March 2021 of fatal alcohol poisoning after his Pi Kappa Alpha brothers demanded he drink a full fifth of bourbon to join their fraternity. The testimony and advocacy of their families helped move Collin's Law through the Ohio Statehouse fast enough for it to go into effect as college students were settling into the 2021 fall semester. It also made Ohio the 11th U.S. state to make hazing a felony. It's been five years since Collin's Law was enacted. But advocates say too many dangerous hazing practices continue at schools across Ohio, and not enough
