Mt. Vernon Road closures to start in 2027 as sewer project begins

The Mt. Vernon Road project is expected to begin in January or February and will cause rolling closures of that street for up to a year as the city continues its years-long effort to separate storm and sanitary sewers, according to Brandon Fox, Newark water administrator. The two sewers are currently combined in some of the city’s oldest neighborhoods, which was common a century or more ago, but such sewers and the sewage treatment plant can be overwhelmed during heavy rains. Separating the two allows for more efficient treatment of sewage and avoids contamination of stormwater flowing into area waterways. But removing the old sewers and installing two new lines – as has been done in Downtown and on the south side of Newark – requires tearing up the streets they’re under. The South Side project is wrapping up now and Fox said the city expects to repave streets the week of Nov. 16. He said that the North Side neighborhoods affected by the project in the coming months will eventually see new curbs, crosswalks and, in many cases, new sidewalks. The first phase of the North Side project will work from south to north on Mt. Vernon Road, from

Locksmith Newark Ohio publishes hiring checklist for Licking County residents, noting Ohio has no statewide locksmith license and pointing to Ohio Attorney General guidance on bait-and-switch scams

""Ohio does not license locksmiths, so there is no state card to ask for when someone shows up at your door. That puts the burden on the questions you ask before the work starts. Get the business name, get the price in writing, and check for complaints with the Attorney General and the Better Business Bureau. Those steps take a few minutes, and they are the best protection a Newark resident has while standing outside a locked house or car," said a spokesperson for Locksmith Newark Ohio."Locksmith Newark Ohio has published a checklist to help Newark and Licking County residents vet a locksmith, since Ohio has no statewide locksmith license, drawing on Ohio Attorney General and Better Business Bureau guidance on bait pricing.

Prosecutor claims public records battle has compelled her to hire another staffer

In a motion seeking to dismiss a citizen’s request for a court order in a legal dispute over public records, the Hocking County Prosecutor’s office claims that plaintiff Melanie Ogle is pursuing her litigation “for the sole purpose of harassing the office of the Hocking County Prosecuting Attorney and wasting taxpayer money.” The motion complains that Ogle “continues to bombard the Hocking County Prosecuting Attorney’s office with frivolous and baseless public records requests and litigation to the point where the prosecutor has been forced to hire an additional assistant prosecutor.” Ogle, who lives in Rockbridge, submitted a public records request to the prosecutor’s office in June 2025, seeking records related to past criminal cases involving her and her husband. She found the office’s response unsatisfactory, and filed a complaint with the Ohio Court of Claims. In May of this year that court ruled that Ogle’s records request was “overly broad and unenforceable.” She then appealed that ruling to Ohio’s Fourth District Court of Appeals, and is also seeking a writ of mandamus to compel Prosecutor Jennifer Graham to produce the records Ogle has asked for. As it has done in other court filings, however, the prosecutor’s office continues to insist

Ohio school district suspends non-varsity sports after tax levy fails

Getting out to vote matters. That's a lesson an Ohio school district is learning in the wake of the 2026 midterm elections. According to the Columbus Dispatch — part of the USA TODAY Network — Pickerington Local Schools is suspending all non-varsity athletics and other extracurriculars. This comes after a 0.75% income tax levy proposal in Fairfield and Franklin counties failed, according to unofficial election results. The vote failed by just around 250 votes, which is less than 1% of all the votes cast. Superintendent Charles Smialek told parents in a letter that all athletic teams below the varsity level and other extracurricular activities have been suspended, effective on Wednesday, Nov. 4, while other activities — including musicals and theater — will continue through Dec. 31. Smialek told The Dispatch that "the district needed to protect academics in the classroom, and hard decisions needed to be made," and the move would be a "short-term proposition." According to The Dispatch, the district faces a $21 million deficit, based on the figures presented to the board. "We understand the value of extracurriculars, we understand the experiences they create. It's difficult," Smialek told The Dispatch. "These are among the harder decisions most of
