Gibsonburg students bring out wackiness of 'The Addams Family'
A grown Wednesday finds love in "The Addams Family" musical as the story comes to life through the Gibsonburg High School drama students. After a successful dress rehearsal on Nov. 12 by the Gibsonburg High School Drama Club, students are looking forward to a weekend of fun as the wacky family that was introduced to the world in their popular 1960s sitcom. “'The Addams Family' musical is specifically about Wednesday growing older and finding the love of her life and the two families meeting for the first time, and how that plays out, between the Addams Family and your traditional typical normal family, and how they can relate,” Gibsonburg High School Drama Club Director Katy Kohman said. This story takes place several years after the sitcom story, where Wednesday, the daughter in the Addams family, is grown and in her early-to-mid-20s. Kohman said that the musical includes all the expected cast of characters, including Uncle Fester, Gomez and Morticia Addams, Lurch and Pugsley. She said that standout performances are made by the family unit of the Addams. “The Addams really are a cohesive unit and all work well together and emulate both the original source material of 'The Addams Family,'

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

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

Loss of data center causes Oregon to tighten its budget for next year
Now that the proposed data center has withdrawn plans to come to Oregon, city officials are preparing for budget hearings to find ways to raise revenue and cut expenses for next year. Officials for two years had expected that the data center, which was going to be located near Corduroy and Wynn roads, would bring in millions of dollars to city coffers. When voters on Nov. 3 passed a data center charter amendment that limited its size, the company withdrew its plans, causing some supporters to worry about its impact on the city’s budget. City Administrator Brody Walters is not currently too concerned about the financial condition of the city. In fact, there is a $3 million surplus this year. Expect cost cutting, though, for next year, when revenue is expected to be less than expenditures. Council will have to make the tough decisions at the budget hearings, the first expected this month. “Right now, we’ve reviewed the general fund budget, and found savings in the neighborhood of $1.3 million across all departments,” Mr. Walters said of the $32 million projected budget estimate for 2027. “These are not painful cuts. It’s trimming the fat.” In a Nov. 9 letter to
