Good morning, Wooster.

Certified Angus Beef began in a house in West Salem 47 years ago and now sells its products in 55 countries from its Wooster headquarters—showing steady growth for the business.

MAVIN, a family-owned business in Amish Country, is celebrating 50 years of making sustainable wood products with old skills and new techniques—after its mill burned in 2017, the company rebuilt quickly and resumed work by April.

It uses traditional craftsmanship and modern methods to serve local and regional customers.

On October 30, more than 375 students from local districts attended the Young Authors Conference at Greystone Event Center in Wooster to learn storytelling skills from bestselling authors including Shannon Hale.

Each student left with a new book from Tri-County ESC (one per student) and ten earned the Excellence Award (each with a commemorative plaque).

An arctic front is moving into Ohio today, dropping temperatures into the 20s and bringing the season’s first frost across many areas — northern counties near Lake Erie may see their first lake-effect snow into early next week.

Residents are urged to prepare as the cold blast will push subfreezing conditions well into the upcoming days.

A longtime resident said a small woods (which has sheltered deer, turkey vultures, and other wildlife for 23 years) will be cleared soon to make way for new houses.

He added that the change (ending a cherished local legacy) will bring deep sadness as familiar nature gives way to development.
