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

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)

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

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.
