The Setlist: Portage County live music for Nov. 11-20, 2026

I hope that you all have gotten your outdoor chores mainly wrapped up, and are setting your sights on some cozy indoor activities this late fall and winter. This week Veteran’s Day arrives on Wednesday, Nov. 11. I find that our country is more aware of the veteran’s plight than perhaps we may have been 20-30 years ago, which is a good thing. There are many programs and non-profit organizations that focus on the needs of our veterans. This is what really makes America great: compassion and the drive to help those who have sacrificed for our country.

Norwayne boys heading to first state soccer championship game in school history

TWINSBURG − Fifteen minutes into the first half of a scoreless OHSAA Division V state semifinal match between Norwayne and Rootstown at Twinsburg Tiger Stadium on Wednesday, Nov. 11, Norwayne set the ball into the box, and forward/striker Erik Neruda was able to get a foot on it. A soft touch by Neruda was enough to get the ball over the Rootstown goalkeeper, who was coming off his lines, and it rolled into the net. That goal was the first of five for Norwayne in the Bobcats' (17-4-1) 5-2 victory over Rootstown (17-3-2) in a match where they took a 3-0 lead into halftime. Neruda's goal was a demonstration of how effective the Bobcats were in playing long balls downfield or switching the play to their forwards, who were able to make quality runs off the ball to put pressure on the Rovers backline for scoring chances. More: Chippewa's defensive activity swarms Hiland, heading to third straight state final "We were moving the ball well. We knew their defense was a little weaker," Neruda said. "We like to make runs and get out wide because the space is usually out wide, so we knew we had to exploit that. We

Ravenna prepares new ward boundaries for 1st time since 1972

For the first time in more than 50 years, Ravenna residents may have to consult a map to find out who represents them on City Council. The city, which has had the same ward boundaries since 1972, is redrawing the four districts to get a better balance of residents in each. The process began in March, when a national consultant told Ravenna City Council its ward boundaries were out of balance. The new lines are to be official by the end of December, in time for 2027 municipal elections that will include council representatives for two of the wards. A public hearing will take place Nov. 23 to consider the new map. Council, which approved a first reading of an ordinance approving the new map, will conduct a special meeting after the public hearing, with another reading expected Dec. 7. The ordinance will be voted on as emergency legislation to get around the 30-day waiting period normally required, said Carmen Laudato, the at-large council member who has been leading the redistricting effort. "If people are going to be running for council, they'll want to make sure that the wards they would serve are the wards they actually live in," Laudato
