Richland County Mock Crash Docu-Drama is May 7 at Richland County Fairgrounds
Five years since the last program, the Richland County Mock Crash Docu-Drama returns May 7 at the Richland County Fairgrounds. "The next few months should be memories to treasure with friends. The night is warm, stars blaze across the horizon. This promises to be the best time of year in a high school student’s life unless ... unless a few beers, a few puffs of marijuana, a car going at high speeds, a distracted driver, lack of seat belts on some passengers and reckless driving pose a deadly combination," said Judy Villard-Overocker, organizer of the mock crash.

Lovina's Amish Kitchen: Lovina thanks readers for their prayers
Today is already the last day of April. Four months of 2024 have passed. Where does time go? One week after another slips by. Today, my husband, Joe, has an appointment with the doctor that did his surgery last week. Joe has been off work for a week due to getting a splinter in his hand as long as a toothpick while at work. He went to the hospital after it happened, and they couldn’t find it through the X-ray. Joe stayed home from work for a few days because his hand hurt so bad and kept swelling up. Joe doesn’t usually complain much if he gets a splinter, but this time he had a lot of pain.
A Stroll Through The Garden: Fig trees grow easily in Ohio - here's how to do it
One of my friends at the pool asked me if we really could grow and harvest the figs in Ohio. From the latest research I have done, what I discovered is yes, you can grow them and there is a potential you could have two crops of figs if you grow them in a hot house for two crops. I feel comfortable in saying you should be able to grow at least one crop of figs in Ohio outside.
