Evergreen Recycling plant sold for $7 million
The empty Evergreen Recycling LLC buildings and manufacturing plant in Clyde has been sold for $7 million. Forever Green Plastics LLC purchased the two Clyde properties, 13.3 acres at 609 Elm St. and 21.36 acres at 202 Watertower Drive. As previously reported, Evergreen made a $22 million expansion at that facility to manufacture food-grade recycled PET (rPET), then abruptly closed in February. The $7 million deed transfer is evidence of a transaction, but doesn't establish whether Forever Green bought the operating business, is a successor company, is controlled by Evergreen's owners/lenders, or merely acquired the real estate. Property transfer records show the business is using the 202 Watertower Drive address as its official address with the Sandusky County auditor. A mass layoff notice of 165 workers, issued under the WARN Act as required by Ohio Law, was made on Feb. 24 by Evergreen. The notice indicated that all Evergreen Recycling facilities would be closed. “This one happened very quickly. We didn’t, and the company didn’t, really even have that much notice. They let us know as soon as they heard, and we’ve been running since," Assistant Director of Sandusky County OhioMeansJobs Center Casey Nead said in February. "This one was

Ride The Lorain And West Virginia Railway Through Wellington Countryside Most Ohioans Never Notice
A vintage train in Ohio runs completely on volunteers. They also run pumpkin rides, Santa trains, and a fall foliage trip through farm country. The ride lasts a bit over an hour. You roll past cornfields and woods at an easy pace. Nobody has to watch the road. I like...

Editorial: Cuts will be coming in Oregon after vote
It will not be a merry Christmas for Oregon city employees, as significant job cuts are now the only way to plug a multimillion-dollar budget deficit following voters’ rejection of a billion-dollar data center project. Oregon City Council Finance Committee Chair Dennis Walendzak asked fellow council members to clear the first Saturday in December for a daylong meeting dedicated to balancing the city’s budget. Read more editorials Mr. Walendzak addressed the council at the end of Monday’s session, which had opened with resident comments mostly cheering the passage of the ballot initiative blocking the data center planned for city-owned land at Corduroy and Wynn roads. “Obviously, 60 percent of Oregon residents are pleased with the election outcome,” Mr. Walendzak noted, adding that because personnel and benefits make up 81 percent of the budget, balancing the books takes far more than cutting back on office supplies. Voters’ rejection of the ballot measure eliminated a projected $250 million revenue stream — derived from the property sale and a 15-year payment-in-lieu-of-taxes agreement shared with the school district — forcing both the city and schools to operate with significantly fewer resources. During Monday’s meeting, supporters of the anti-data center charter amendment acknowledged the financial

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
