Goats are waiting just outside the back of this buffet, and kids can feed them after the pie course. That is not a sentence you read every day. Inside, broasted chicken anchors a long spread of home-style cooking. Real mashed potatoes, roast beef, and a salad bar share the room with a wall of homemade pies.

Accounting error caused Coshocton City Schools funding discrepancy

COSHOCTON – A dispute over Coshocton City Schools' property tax revenue has been traced to a district accounting error that affected both its reported fund balances and state financial forecast. The district said it received the correct amount of property tax revenue from the Coshocton County Auditor's Office but mistakenly placed some of the money in the general fund instead of the permanent improvement fund. The clarification follows a disagreement over previously reported figures showing the district receiving $453,962 less in its general fund in 2026 compared with 2025. Coshocton County Auditor Grant Daugherty challenged that characterization in a Nov. 9 release, stating county records show the district actually received more property tax revenue in 2026. More: Coshocton schools face $454K tax shortfall amid teacher contract talks In a Nov. 10 release, the district said Treasurer Terri Eyerman addressed the issue during the Oct. 29 school board meeting and confirmed the correct amount of money had been received from the auditor's office. The district said the problem was money intended for permanent improvements was originally deposited and forecast as general fund revenue. Accounting entries moving the money to the proper fund created the variance the district had previously reported. The

Junction City asks court for favorable decision in lawsuit over seized police dog

COLUMBUS, Ohio — The Village of Junction City and two village officials have asked a federal court to grant them favorable judgment in a lawsuit brought against them by a former interim police chief, after village officials seized a police dog that both he and the village claimed was their property. In a motion filed Nov. 2 in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio, Eastern Division, the defendants — Junction City, Mayor Edwin Keister and Police Chief Amy English — contend that plaintiff Casey Williams’ case against them relies heavily on his claim that a male Belgian Malinois dog named Apollo belonged to him when English, assisted by Lancaster Police, seized the animal from Williams’ residence with a search warrant. But this is not true, they insist. “Nearly every claim (in Williams’ complaint) depends on Plaintiff’s assertion that he owned Apollo,” the motion states. “He did not.” It notes that in an earlier version of Williams’ lawsuit, the court had “already rejected Plaintiff’s ownership theory,” concluding that Williams’ allegations “more plausibly established that Apollo remained village property.” Williams first filed suit in January 2024, shortly after the dog was taken from him. His case briefly caught the

Plaintiffs in short-term rental lawsuit ask judge to sanction defendant company

LOGAN — After 20 homeowners in a Green Township housing subdivision filed a lawsuit against a Florida company for buying a home there and turning it into a short-term rental, the company responded with a countersuit, alleging that the plaintiffs were interfering with its attempts to sell the property. Now the plaintiffs from Brad-Mer Acres have fired back with a motion asking a judge to dismiss the counterclaim, and to sanction the defendant company for “frivolous conduct.” In filing the countersuit, the motion alleges, defendant Palm Side Paradise LLC (PSP) is trying to “bully” the homeowners. “Because the counterclaim is not warranted under existing law and serves only to increase the cost of this litigation, Plaintiffs also request a hearing on sanctions,” the motion states. In August 2024 PSP bought a five-bedroom house in the subdivision, turned it into a short-term rental (STR) for up to 16 guests, and began marketing it on websites such as Airbnb.com and VRBO.com. In response, 10 residents of the subdivision filed a lawsuit in Hocking County Common Pleas Court, in which they argued that using the house as an STR violates Brad-Mer’s restrictive covenants. They also claimed that the rental was creating a nuisance.
