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

Galion 7th grader captures spelling bee over students from 4 counties
It was a clash of the titans. Arden McCoy, a 7th grader at Galion, and Felix Beeson, an 8th grader at Sacred Heart School in Shelby, squared off for the Mid-Ohio Educational Service Center Spelling Bee championship on Nov. 10 at MOESC after winning their respective bees to qualify. The spelling aces dueled for six more rounds after everyone else had been eliminated before McCoy prevailed with "chaperonage," which means the art, stage or practice of being a chaperone, in the 11th round. McCoy had a chance to win two rounds earlier after Beeson missed on "lackadaisical," but he misspelled "orthographize." In the 10th round, both missed their words to keep the bee going. McCoy correctly spelled "malleable," followed by Beeson slipping up on "quadrilateral," in the 11th round. The Galion student connected on "chaperonage" to end the drama. At first, McCoy seemed thrown off by the championship word, but as he did several times with other words, he worked his way through it. "I just winged it," he said of his approach to the bee, which is usually the tri-county bee with Richland, Crawford and Morrow counties. Spellers from Knox County competed as well this time.
