Good morning, Wooster. Here's your local news at a glance for Saturday, the 22nd of November.

ENVIRONMENT NEWS

  • Ohio law stops burning leaves in cities but lets those in townships burn yard waste if the fire stays more than 1,000 feet from a neighbor — if the fire is very large, the Ohio EPA must be told.
