Lakewood, Newark Catholic, Northridge, Utica leave Licking County League

Four Licking County League schools are on their way out. Lakewood, Newark Catholic, Northridge and Utica notified league officials Nov. 10 of their plans to leave the LCL and form a new league. “Pending a vote by the school boards at Lakewood, Newark Catholic, Northridge and Utica, those schools will leave the Licking County League beginning with the 2028-29 school year,” LCL commissioner Ron Bowman confirmed via text. “They will become charter members of a new league of like-size schools. The LCL will become an eight-team league which will continue looking at future expansion.” Utica athletic director Howard Hill said details on the new league will be provided soon. Granville, Heath, Johnstown, Licking Heights, Licking Valley, Mount Vernon, Watkins Memorial and Zanesville will remain in the LCL. The LCL re-formed for the 2013-14 school year with 10 Licking County schools, and Zanesville in 2020 and Mount Vernon in 2024 have since been added.

A second showing will be held at 7 p.m. Nov. 12 at Denison University’s Herrick Hall , with Hofmeister hosting a question-and-answer session after the showing. The film features three soldiers who served alongside Hofmeister, with them sharing why they decided to serve, what they experienced in war and how they made it home, according to the film’s website. “Each time that I was lucky enough to serve alongside them, without being boastful about it, they imparted lessons, hard-fought lessons learned to me at different times, and a lot of those stories formed the basis of what I thought would be worth capturing

One person may have spread measles at a half-dozen sites in Ohio

One person infected with measles may have spread the highly contagious disease over a period of about a week at more than a half-dozen sites in Northeast Ohio. Geauga Public Health is reporting a confirmed case of measles with exposures at several public locations in Geauga and Lake counties during the time period the individual was able to spread the virus. Statewide, the Ohio Department of Health is reporting 310 cases in 25 counties so far this year, according to its most recent summary of infectious diseases dashboard update on Nov. 5. That number is nearly six times (588.9%) more than the 45 cases reported in all of 2025. The vast majority of cases in Ohio are among unvaccinated individuals, per ODH. “It’s unfortunate that these outbreaks have become more common in Ohio over the past few years, because this disease is preventable,” Dr. Bruce Vanderhoff, ODH director, said a July 30 statement. “This serves to emphasize the importance of being fully vaccinated. I strongly encourage you to protect yourselves and your children by getting vaccinated.” Here's where measles may have spread in Geauga and Lake counties.
