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

News Journal Pet of the Week was removed from home with 74 other dogs
Kiki the dog is a whirling dervish. The News Journal Pet of the Week is a four-month-old Chihuahua-mix that came from a house in Shelby that contained 75 dogs. "For a dog that is used to playing with other dogs, she'll fit in perfectly," said Aleigha Gabor, humane agent and animal care attendant at the Humane Society of Richland County. "She loves other dogs, does fine with cats. She definitely loves to chase, loves to play." Kiki liked to play a little too much for her previous owners, who returned her because she was "too much for her adopted brother." "It was really no fault of her own. She's just too happy," Gabor said. "Other than constantly wanting to play with her brother, the owners said she was perfect." Kiki bounced around the "catio" at the humane society during her feature. She was fixated on chasing a cat toy. Gabor said Kiki will probably weigh not more than 20 pounds. "All gas, no brakes, all the time," Gabor said with a smile, "but she's super sweet." Because she's a puppy, the cost to adopt Kiki is $250. The fee includes a spay and vaccinations. The humane society is located at

Fremont community gathers to honor military service
On Nov. 11, the public commemorated Veterans Day in Fremont at the Sandusky County Courthouse with speeches from veterans and a 21-gun salute to honor those who served. Sponsored by the Exchange Club of Fremont, the event included a Flags of Honor ceremony and music performed by the Fremont Ross High School Marching Band. "We celebrate this Veterans Day for a very few minutes, a few seconds of silence and then this country's life goes on," said Terry Stanforth, a past commander of the Fremont VFW Post 2947 and current director of Sandusky County Veterans Service Office. "But I think it most appropriate that we recall on this occasion, and on every other moment when we are faced with great responsibilities, the contribution and the sacrifice which so many of our military and their families have made in order to permit this country to now occupy its present position of responsibility and freedom." Ohio Army National Guard Chief of Staff Col. Sy Gladden and Retired USAF Lt. Col. Julie Barriere, a 1995 Ross graduate, also shared their reflections. Stanforth dwelled upon the self-sacrificing nature of veterans and service members. "Military men and women know the risks, but they accept them
