Perry County Courthouse renovation earns state historic preservation award

The transformation of an aging 19th-century landmark into a building equipped for modern use has earned statewide recognition. The Perry County Courthouse was one of 12 historic preservation achievements across Ohio honored Nov. 6 with the Ohio History Connection’s 2026 State Historic Preservation Office Awards. The awards recognize projects that demonstrate the value of historic preservation through rehabilitation, stewardship, research and public engagement. According to the Ohio History Connection, the recipients exemplify how thoughtful preservation can strengthen communities while ensuring historic resources remain accessible for future generations. Built in 1887 and designed by architect Richard Yost, the Perry County Courthouse is an example of Richardsonian Romanesque architecture. A two-year, multimillion-dollar renovation sought to modernize the building without losing its historical architectural features. Renovations included upgrades to accessibility, restrooms, courtrooms and office space, while preserving and restoring some of the courthouse’s most significant architectural elements. One of the most visible projects was the restoration of the grand interior staircase. Part of the staircase was removed in the 1960s to make room for an elevator. As part of the renovation, new cast iron stringers, balustrades, medallions and newel posts were fabricated to match the historic pieces that remain. The courthouse’s main entrance

Accounting error caused Coshocton City Schools funding discrepancy

COSHOCTON – A dispute over Coshocton City Schools' property tax revenue has been traced to a district accounting error that affected both its reported fund balances and state financial forecast. The district said it received the correct amount of property tax revenue from the Coshocton County Auditor's Office but mistakenly placed some of the money in the general fund instead of the permanent improvement fund. The clarification follows a disagreement over previously reported figures showing the district receiving $453,962 less in its general fund in 2026 compared with 2025. Coshocton County Auditor Grant Daugherty challenged that characterization in a Nov. 9 release, stating county records show the district actually received more property tax revenue in 2026. More: Coshocton schools face $454K tax shortfall amid teacher contract talks In a Nov. 10 release, the district said Treasurer Terri Eyerman addressed the issue during the Oct. 29 school board meeting and confirmed the correct amount of money had been received from the auditor's office. The district said the problem was money intended for permanent improvements was originally deposited and forecast as general fund revenue. Accounting entries moving the money to the proper fund created the variance the district had previously reported. The

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

Former Etna Twp. employee sues, says age discrimination led to resignation

A former Etna Township administrator, more than a year after calling the township’s culture toxic , is suing the township, alleging trustees discriminated and retaliated against him because of his age. Bill Spurgeon, 63, became the township’s third administrator in 16 months in April 2025, but left just two months later after saying he would resign if the township didn’t change its culture . His lawsuit, filed in August, alleges that trustees made his working conditions so hostile that he felt no other choice than to quit. The township’s attorney, Patrick Kasson, declined to comment, but mentioned that Spurgeon didn't cite his allegations during his resignation. “We definitely think age was the deciding factor in why they made it so miserable for him,” Spurgeon’s attorney, Mike DeWitt, told The Advocate. “They wanted to get rid of him, so then they made his life miserable, so he quit.” In court records, the township denied the allegations, asked Licking County Common Pleas Judge David Branstool to dismiss the lawsuit because Spurgeon chose to resign. Spurgeon alleges he was constructively discharged, meaning people made his working environment so bad that it was intolerable. The lawsuit states Spurgeon seeks relief because he suffered damages,
