Massive Honda expansion to add thousands of jobs in Marysville
MARYSVILLE - The Honda-Ohio relationship was forged almost 50 years ago, under Gov. James Rhodes and Honda's 64 original associates who began manufacturing Honda motorcycles five miles north of the city. Ten governors later, and with a $3 billion investment in Union County, Honda announced a third manufacturing plant to create more than 2,000 new jobs and churn out an additional 240,000 vehicles a year, including hybrid, gas and some electric. "Since (the Rhodes administration), Ohio and Honda have worked side by side. It has been absolutely an amazing partnership, a partnership that has flourished through nine separate governors," said Gov. Mike DeWine. "I'm the 10th …This partnership will continue when Gov. (Amy) Acton takes office in January." "This is a great Ohio success story," DeWine said at a news conference across the street from where assembly lines were busy assembling Accords and other vehicles. "My commitment to Honda is that this is going to be continued for decades and decades, no matter who the governor of the state is." "This state is rolling," said DeWine. "This state is red hot." In an Ohio Environmental Protection Agency filing previously reviewed by The Dispatch, the project was code named "Project Sunrise"

'Wall That Heals' film is this week's MarionMade!
Each week, Marion Technical College shares MarionMade! stories of our many wonderful people, places, products, and programs in the greater Marion community. To read more positive stories of Marion, or to share some of your own, visit us at marionmade.org or on social media. A Marion filmmaker is bringing a labor of love to the big screen. Terry Cline and his team of veteran videographers created a new film highlighting the “Wall That Heals,” the traveling replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial to Delaware in 2024. “We need to honor all veterans. We should never forget the veterans,” Cline said. “When many Vietnam veterans came home, they were told to change into their civvies so they weren’t spit upon and called ‘babykillers.’” Veterans and volunteers who built the wall are invited to a showing of “Honoring our Veterans: The Wall that Heals” at the Strand Theatre in Delaware on Nov. 12. It will then be free to watch on YouTube. It will also be entered in the Worldfest-Houston independent film festival. One of the catalysts who helped bring the wall to central Ohio and making the documentary was Brian Galligher. He is a veteran who still serves in the Navy

Nobody Expects A Hall Of Fame Dedicated To Popcorn In Marion, Ohio
Over 50 antique popcorn carts and machines sit under a circus tent indoors. That sounds like a dream for any snack fan. I believe that alone is worth a drive across Ohio. The building is a grand old post office with columns and wide front steps. Inside, the popcorn is only the first act.

Coldwater ends Pleasant volleyball's state title hopes
ONTARIO — The quest for perfection and a state championship came to an end Saturday, Nov. 7 in the O-rena. Previously undefeated Pleasant fell to top-ranked Coldwater 3-1 in a Division V regional championship volleyball match at Ontario High School. Coldwater (23-4) will now face second ranked Meadowbrook (25-1) at 11:30 a.m. Friday, Nov. 13 at Wittenberg University. The D-V state championship with either No. 5 South Range or No. 6 Versailles will be at 3 p.m. Nov. 14 inside Wright State's Nutter Center. "It was a tough one to take for them," Pleasant coach Kory Ute said of her seventh ranked squad in D-V. The Spartans (26-1) came into the Coldwater match having won two straight regional championships. Also in 2026, they had yet to drop a set in a match. However, that changed Saturday. The Cavaliers opened with a 25-20 victory in the first set, but Pleasant showed it could answer, charging to a 25-13 win to even the match at 1-1. "We just powered the ball to them, and they didn’t have an answer," Ute said of her team's second set dominance. "We served much better that set than we did the other ones. We just really

Laura Emerick is this week's Aces of Trades
MARION – Laura Emerick can’t imagine doing anything else. “I had a lot of interests and possible careers I considered during childhood,” Emerick said. “There was a time I was really interested in orthopedic surgery after dealing with some running injuries. "I also had an interest in writing and journalism. But I always came back to teaching. I come from a family of teachers. My grandma taught fourth grade and my mom taught 6th grade, and they were both truly excellent teachers.” “One of my favorite things to do was go to my grandma’s house on the weekends because she would let me help grade papers, and my mom would always take me to the local teacher store where I would stock up on workbooks, stickers, and fun/pretty pencils," she said. "She even let me get my own gradebook for playing school with my younger sister, sometimes against her will. I took this very seriously. It came naturally to me. And while I may not have ended up teaching elementary school, at my core I have always been a teacher.” Today, Emerick is associate vice president of student success and engagement, and chief student affairs officer, at Marion Technical College.
