Ravenna prepares new ward boundaries for 1st time since 1972

For the first time in more than 50 years, Ravenna residents may have to consult a map to find out who represents them on City Council. The city, which has had the same ward boundaries since 1972, is redrawing the four districts to get a better balance of residents in each. The process began in March, when a national consultant told Ravenna City Council its ward boundaries were out of balance. The new lines are to be official by the end of December, in time for 2027 municipal elections that will include council representatives for two of the wards. A public hearing will take place Nov. 23 to consider the new map. Council, which approved a first reading of an ordinance approving the new map, will conduct a special meeting after the public hearing, with another reading expected Dec. 7. The ordinance will be voted on as emergency legislation to get around the 30-day waiting period normally required, said Carmen Laudato, the at-large council member who has been leading the redistricting effort. "If people are going to be running for council, they'll want to make sure that the wards they would serve are the wards they actually live in," Laudato

One person may have spread measles at a half-dozen sites in Ohio

One person infected with measles may have spread the highly contagious disease over a period of about a week at more than a half-dozen sites in Northeast Ohio. Geauga Public Health is reporting a confirmed case of measles with exposures at several public locations in Geauga and Lake counties during the time period the individual was able to spread the virus. Statewide, the Ohio Department of Health is reporting 310 cases in 25 counties so far this year, according to its most recent summary of infectious diseases dashboard update on Nov. 5. That number is nearly six times (588.9%) more than the 45 cases reported in all of 2025. The vast majority of cases in Ohio are among unvaccinated individuals, per ODH. “It’s unfortunate that these outbreaks have become more common in Ohio over the past few years, because this disease is preventable,” Dr. Bruce Vanderhoff, ODH director, said a July 30 statement. “This serves to emphasize the importance of being fully vaccinated. I strongly encourage you to protect yourselves and your children by getting vaccinated.” Here's where measles may have spread in Geauga and Lake counties.

The Setlist: Portage County live music for Nov. 11-20, 2026

I hope that you all have gotten your outdoor chores mainly wrapped up, and are setting your sights on some cozy indoor activities this late fall and winter. This week Veteran’s Day arrives on Wednesday, Nov. 11. I find that our country is more aware of the veteran’s plight than perhaps we may have been 20-30 years ago, which is a good thing. There are many programs and non-profit organizations that focus on the needs of our veterans. This is what really makes America great: compassion and the drive to help those who have sacrificed for our country.
