Mansfield approves $21M senior housing complex near Mosaic Church

On Nov. 10, the Mansfield Planning Commission approved a conditional use permit for a $21 million, 65-unit senior housing complex to break ground in late spring 2027. The Mosaic Senior Apartments at 300 W. Third St. will be a three-story, 60,000-square-foot building for seniors ages 62 and older that meet specific income guidelines. All units are one bedroom, project officials told the commission. The development has received a tax allocation for low-income housing from the Ohio Housing Finance Agency. The development team includes Mike Bier of CHN, David Teufel and Scott Bofinger of LGA Partners and Joe Goerndt of Karpinski Engineering. Teufel is the project applicant, who is partnering with the neighboring Mosaic Church at 296 Park Avenue West. The development will be built at Benton and West Third streets. Mosaic Church Pastor Jeff Wright told commission members that CHN is a partner with the Greater Cleveland Food Bank, which led to the referral. In conversations with CHN, Wright said the church realized they had a heart for the community and the desire to bring more housing to Mansfield to improve the neighborhood. The commission also approved four variances for height, density, ingress/egress and required developers to provide green space

News Journal Pet of the Week was removed from home with 74 other dogs

Kiki the dog is a whirling dervish. The News Journal Pet of the Week is a four-month-old Chihuahua-mix that came from a house in Shelby that contained 75 dogs. "For a dog that is used to playing with other dogs, she'll fit in perfectly," said Aleigha Gabor, humane agent and animal care attendant at the Humane Society of Richland County. "She loves other dogs, does fine with cats. She definitely loves to chase, loves to play." Kiki liked to play a little too much for her previous owners, who returned her because she was "too much for her adopted brother." "It was really no fault of her own. She's just too happy," Gabor said. "Other than constantly wanting to play with her brother, the owners said she was perfect." Kiki bounced around the "catio" at the humane society during her feature. She was fixated on chasing a cat toy. Gabor said Kiki will probably weigh not more than 20 pounds. "All gas, no brakes, all the time," Gabor said with a smile, "but she's super sweet." Because she's a puppy, the cost to adopt Kiki is $250. The fee includes a spay and vaccinations. The humane society is located at

Ohio has a lot going for it, from its friendly small towns to its buzzing cities, but one thing that truly brings people together is great food cooked low and slow over a smoky flame. BBQ and steakhouses are woven into the culture here, and the best ones are not always the fanciest or most well-known spots.

Warriors, Roughriders to meet for first time ever in regional semifinals

For the first time ever, the Ontario Warriors and St. Marys Memorial Roughriders will meet on the football field. And it just so happens to be in the biggest game of the season for both programs. The Warriors will host the Roughriders in the Division III Region 10 semifinals on Friday, Nov. 13, with a chance to play for a regional championship next week. It should be a fun game. Let's break it all down with this scouting report. LEADERSHIP: Gavin Miller's leadership has been x-factor for Ontario football success Team Breakdowns Ontario Warriors (10-1) The Warriors are a balanced offensive team averaging 163.5 rushing yards and 186.4 passing yards per game. They score 33.91 points and allow 17.27 points per game, so they have a solid mixture of great offense and great defense. They allow 124 rushing and 121.4 passing yards per game and 245.4 yards per game seems like a lot to give up, the Warriors are opportunistic with 22 takeaways to just seven turnovers for a +15 turnover margin. Their 10 wins this season give them three double-digit win seasons in the last four years after having just two total from 1961-2002. St. Marys Memorial Roughriders (9-3)

Four Licking County League schools are on their way out. Lakewood, Newark Catholic, Northridge and Utica notified league officials Nov. 10 of their plans to leave the LCL and form a new league. “Pending a vote by the school boards at Lakewood, Newark Catholic, Northridge and Utica, those schools will leave the Licking County League beginning with the 2028-29 school year,” LCL commissioner Ron Bowman confirmed via text. “They will become charter members of a new league of like-size schools.

Mount Vernon’s Woodward Opera House Is America’s Oldest Theater Of Its Kind, And You Can Catch A Show This Winter

Some theaters are built to impress, and some are built to last. In downtown Mount Vernon, Ohio, one stage managed to do both, then waited quietly for its second act. Today it hosts ballets, musicals, blues nights, and dueling pianos in a room that seats only a few hundred people. The building has a long history, a modern restoration, and a schedule that keeps the lights on through the colder months.

Harmonizing Mount Vernon: Andy Meka and Zach Cramer Bridge Sonic Boundaries Ahead of New EP

On Friday night, October 30, the back room of Find Familiar Games transformed from a quiet local game shop into an epicenter of raw sonic energy. As the high-octane bassline of “Lean on her Lulu” echoed through the space, the atmosphere hit a fever pitch, attendees swung shirts overhead, crowd-surfed across the floor, and sang along word-for-word. On stage, senior rapper and musical artist Andy Meka (who performs under the moniker Ondee) held absolute control of the mic, while sophomore producer Zach Cramer executed the live audio mix and seamless track transitions behind the board.

OhioHealth honors Marion oncologist for expanding care

A personal loss helped set Dr. Arvinder Bhinder on a path to transform cancer care in Marion. More than a decade after joining OhioHealth , Bhinder has been honored for helping bring specialized treatment, precision medicine and clinical trials closer to patients. Bhinder received the Distinguished Service in Medical Oncology Award on Oct. 9 at OhioHealth's Fall Cancer Conference, according to a community announcement. The recognition honors his work helping expand cancer services in Marion and across the OhioHealth system. His interest in oncology grew from a personal loss. During his first year of medical school in India, Bhinder learned his mother had breast cancer. His family struggled to find specialized care, with the nearest cancer center requiring a two-day train ride. She died less than a year later. "For a long time, I was afraid of cancer," Bhinder said. "But during my training, I saw how research and innovation were transforming outcomes for patients. It opened my eyes to the possibility of making a real difference in people's lives." Building cancer care in Marion After residency training at the University at Buffalo, Bhinder joined a research program at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center. He later completed a fellowship in
