Had a chance to sit down in a Zoom video meeting with Eli Yoder, who left the Old Order Amish, that was much like the Swartzentruber community in Northern Ashland County.
We spoke on the subject of Amish clan who have disregarded Ohio’s new buggy law, refused to pay fines or court cost on the citations they received, by not putting a yellow flashing light on their buggies.
The final countdown for paying their fines is 1pm tomorrow. That is when they are set to appear before Judge John L. Good, of the Ashland Municipal Court.
Due to decreasing community spread and higher immunity in our communities, OhioHealth will end the masking requirement for asymptomatic individuals in all hospitals, outpatient care centers and physician offices beginning Friday, April 14.
Masking may be required for visitors based on specific patient situations, such as when a patient is in isolation. Masks are also recommended for visitors if they are experiencing any respiratory symptoms.
Masks will continue to be made available for those who wish to wear them.
COLUMBUS – State Rep. Melanie Miller (R-City of Ashland) encourages citizens of Ashland and Medina Counties to nominate distinguished veterans within the community for the Ohio Veterans Hall of Fame class of 2023.
The Ohio Department of Veterans Services is accepting nominations for men and women who have served in the armed forces that have continued to serve their communities through public service, volunteering, and more.
“Our men and women in the armed forces all deserve praise for their courage and bravery in serving our country,” Miller said. “I’m pleased to announce these nominations being available to those veterans who have gone above and beyond with their efforts and dedication to our communities throughout the 67th House District.”
Both Ashland and Medina Counties have had several veterans become inducted into the Ohio Veterans Hall of Fame.
The Ohio Veterans Hall of Fame, launched in 1992, is dedicated to honoring veterans that have certain achievements and contributions outside of and beyond military service.
To be eligible for the Ohio Veterans Hall of Fame, a veteran nominee must meet certain criteria. The nominee must have been recognized for post-military achievements, be a past or current Ohio resident, received an honorable discharge, and be of good moral character. Additionally, the veteran must have made significant contributions at the local, state, or national level by achieving excellence in their selected fields.

State Representative Melanie Miller is currently serving her first term in the Ohio House of Representatives. She represents the 67th House District, which includes all of Ashland County and the western portion of Medina County.
Chief Eric Winbigler Butler Police Department released the following statement:
On 04/11/2023 at approximately 0600 hours, the Butler Police Department was dispatched to the area of 132 Cleveland St. in reference to a subject walking the sidewalk with a long gun and pointing it at vehicles traveling through the area.
When police arrived, the suspect was located, and he retreated into a residence. Responding Butler and Bellville officers were then met with gunfire. Additional units were then deployed from Richland County Sheriff’s Department, and the State Highway Patrol.
After some time, the suspect did emerge from the residence and was subsequently arrested. During the investigation, a search warrant was obtained and issued on the residence. In compliance with the search warrant multiple firearms, drugs, and drug paraphernalia was seized.
As the investigation continued, and with an abundance of caution Ashland County Bomb Squad was summoned to the scene to retrieve several items of question.
I want to thank all the responding officers for their assistance, and professionalism throughout this event. I also want to insure the public that their safety is of our primary concern and we appreciate the understanding as we navigated a delicate situation.
