Plane crash reported near Woodville
WOODVILLE, Ohio — A small plane crashed Thursday afternoon in northeast Sandusky County, the Ohio State Highway Patrol reported. The crash was reported about 2:36 p.m. near the junction of U.S. 20 and 23 several miles northwest of Woodville, a dispatcher at the patrol’s Fremont post said. Troopers were on scene but had not yet reported back information about any casualties. The National Weather Service’s closest weather reporting station, at Toledo Executive Airport in Wood County’s Lake Township, reported light rain, fog, and mist about 20 minutes later, and light rain during the previous hourly weather report. The flight-tracking website FlightAware identified the plane as a single-engine Mooney M20P that belonged to TSS Glass Machinery Sales, Inc., of Fort Worth, Texas. The flight had originated at 10:53 a.m. Thursday in Athens, Ga. The plane had cruised toward the Toledo area first at about 9,400 feet, then 12,600 feet, before climbing to 13,400 feet. From that altitude, it made several turns while also descending rapidly, with a final signal received from 230 feet above the ground about eight minutes after the descent began.

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
