AAA predicts a record 82 million Americans will travel this Thanksgiving with 73 million driving, 6 million flying and 2.5 million using buses, trains or cruises, causing heavy traffic before the holiday (Tuesday, Nov.

25: noon to 9 p.m. and Wednesday, Nov. 26: 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.). Travelers in Wooster should plan to leave early to avoid delays.

OSU Extension will release winter programming details soon.

At its annual meeting, the Wayne Soil and Water Conservation District elected Marissa Dillon and Tate Emerson from four candidates to fill seats left by Scott Stoller and Dustin Ramsier and guide local efforts to protect soil and water—both bring strong conservation experience.

Food safety tips explain that dates on food labels show peak quality rather than safety and advise looking for signs of spoilage before eating.

OSU Extension also recommends donating unopened pantry items past their best if used by date — a measure to reduce food waste.
