Good morning, Wooster.

The Budweiser Clydesdales returned to the Wayne County Fair after last appearing in 2008 and took a 45-minute to one-hour tour around the fairgrounds while pulling a historic 1903 wagon weighing about 7,000 pounds+ two drivers and one dalmatian dog helped put on a show for a packed grandstand.

At Lakeland Academy in Freeport, teachers Lexey Pulley, Ashlee McDonald and Dana Robey work to help students grow and learn through their classes and local events.

Pulley has taught for seven years, McDonald is in her first year, and Robey teaches high school while earning her degree — they work with local groups — and plan to stay at the school.

Ohio hummingbirds are set to begin their southward journey this fall as daylight decreases — experts say feeders can remain up until October to help the birds gather energy for the trip to wintering areas in Mexico and Central America.

The Ohio State University Extension confirms that keeping feeders up will not stop the migration.

Ohio Governor Mike DeWine called kratom an imminent public health risk and asked the Board of Pharmacy to ban both natural and synthetic forms in August — his office linked the herbal extract to overdose deaths.

The ban is on hold after Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. urged caution and the board skipped the issue at its September 9 meeting.

Fans in Wooster watched high school football games Friday night during Week 4, including the contest with Madison Comprehensive at Wooster, while live updates from other Wayne/Holmes County matchups were recorded—final scores are still awaited.
