County votes redder than state as a whole

Hocking County voters largely swam against the statewide current in Tuesday’s general election, turning in votes that diverged from the outcomes for the state as a whole in many of the races at the state and national level, with voting here more favorable to Republicans than Ohio was overall. In the governor’s race, according to unofficial numbers, Democrat Amy Acton and her running mate David Pepper won with 52.3% of the vote, with the Republican team of Vivek Ramaswamy and Robert McColley pulling about 44.4%. A Libertarian ticket of Don Kissick and James Mills accounted for the remaining 3.3%. In Hocking County, by contrast, voters gave the Ramaswamy/McColley team 58.5%, and the Dems 36.7%. In the race for state attorney general, Democrat John Kulewicz edged Republican Keith Faber with 50.3% of the vote. In Hocking County, Kulewicz pulled only about 33.7%. In the state auditor race looked at statewide, Republican Frank LaRose took 50.8% of the vote to narrowly defeat Democrat Annette Blackwell. Hocking Countians also gave the nod to LaRose, but more emphatically, at 66.2%. In the contest for the Ohio Secretary of State’s office, Democrat Allison Russo’s 50.2% gave her the win over Republican Robert Sprague (46.8%) and

Muskingum County fair board sees major turnover in 2026 election | Exclusive

ZANESVILLE – A year marked by resignations, vacancies and debate over the fair's direction culminated in the Oct. 28 Muskingum County fair board election, where only two incumbents retained seats and two former members returned.

Their return comes after resigning within the past year. More: Muskingum County Fair changes: No concert, board resignations Wilson left in January, and he cited personal reasons when he talked with the Times Recorder in April. He shared a bit more on Nov. 3, explaining the biggest factor for his departure was to support a family member going through health issues. There has been improvement with the family member's health over the past several months, so it offered Wilson more wherewithal to focus on the fair again, he noted. However, part of why he left was also because he felt as if the 4-H programs were getting lost and there was inflexibility in how exhibitors showed their

Voters pass multiple tax measures in Hocking County

In unofficial results from the Hocking County Board of Elections, a number of local tax levies were passed by county voters in the Nov. 3 election — though with two of the measures, the vote was close enough that the outcome could conceivably still change once outstanding provisional votes are counted. Levies that passed by solid margins include: • Scenic Hills Senior Center renewal levy — 5,293 for, 3,954 against • Murray City current expenses renewal levy 1 — 57 for, 25 against • Murray City current expenses renewal levy 2 — 56 for, 26 against • Murray City fire renewal levy — 61 for, 22 against • Murray City street renewal levy — 57 for, 25 against • Murray City police renewal levy — 52 for, 30 against • Good Hope Township fire renewal levy — 382 for, 156 against • Laurel Township road renewal levy — 268 for, 160 against • Saltcreek Township road renewal levy — 199 for, 134 against Others, however, were close enough that outstanding provisionals could potentially flip the outcome. These include the Falls Township fire renewal and increase levy, which won by a three-vote margin of 848 for, 845 against; and the Laurelville

These mysterious rock carvings in Ohio could be a thousand years old

Ohio's history stretches back centuries, and some of it is carved into the sandstone of southern Ohio. But exactly how old those carvings are remains a mystery to this day. The Leo Petroglyphs are a series of ancient rock carvings in southern Ohio that were likely created by people of the Fort Ancient culture, according to the Ohio History Connection . Their exact age, however, is unknown. Here's what to know about the centuries-old carvings and what historians know about their origins. Language: This food is the word Ohioans struggle to pronounce most The exact age of Ohio's Leo Petroglyphs remains a mystery The exact age of the petroglyphs isn't known. Based on the weathering of the sandstone, the Ohio History Connection says that the carvings are probably no more than 1,000 years old and were likely created by people of the Fort Ancient culture. The site contains 37 petroglyphs, or figures carved into a sandstone outcrop, depicting humans, birds, human and animal footprints, a fish, a snake and other figures. A shelter house covers the sandstone slab containing the carvings, protecting the rock art from the elements. Where are the Leo Petroglyphs in Ohio? Leo Petroglyphs & Nature Preserve

Licking County Week 12 playoff matchups

While Granville's rematch at Licking Valley highlights Licking County's Week 12 regional quarterfinal matchups, a couple of other intriguing playoff games are also in the works locally for Nov. 6. Both are in Division IV, Region 15. Johnstown will be back at Frank H. Chambers Stadium against Claymont, while Heath travels to New Lexington's Jim Rockwell Stadium. Here's a closer look at the contests: DIVISION III No. 7 Granville at No. 2 Licking Valley While the Week 9 showdown at Randy Baughman Stadium featured a lot of points, it still came down to defense, and this one likely will too between the bitter rivals. The Blue Aces (8-3) nearly rallied from a 35-14 deficit with their prolific passing attack, slicing it to 35-28 and getting the ball back, before a long pick six by Levi Lewis finally sealed the win and Valley's second consecutive 10-0 season. Whle Granville has the area's leading passer (Jackson McMillan) and two top receivers (Carter Rhyan and Luke Bosse), the Panthers may be a little better balanced. Tailback Dylan Keeley doesn't have the rushing yards he could because of his team's lopsided wins, and quarterback Brody Rodgers picks his spots and his also a running
