Dialed-up velocity helps Anthony Wayne pitcher Graf become Ohio State recruit
When Anthony Wayne pitcher Owen Graf got an offer from Ohio State, he was so excited that he lost his appetite for a few days. He has worked tirelessly to increase his velocity on the mound to where it is currently, maxing out at 94 miles per hour. He did everything he could during the summer season to get noticed by the Buckeyes. He had battled back from a seemingly cursed injury streak early in his Anthony Wayne career. It all paid off with an offer from his dream school. Graf took a bit of time to consider the offer, but it was too good to pass up, and he recently announced his commitment to Ohio State.

Summer campers get Olympic experience complete with medals, ceremonies
Communities around the world tuned in to see the spectacle of the Paris Olympics this summer, and Children’s Discovery Centers used the international hubbub to keep kids across northwest Ohio engaged. “We had an opening ceremony at the beginning of our summer camp experience, and we're closing out our summer camp experience after 12 weeks with a closing ceremony,” said Tamara Glassbender, the summer camp coordinator for the Children’s Discovery Centers. The five separate locations for the centers formed different “countries” and competed in field day activities at Side Cut Metropark in Maumee on Thursday. First, second, and third-place medals in the classic gold, silver, and bronze were presented to the kids for kindness and helpfulness. Sportsmanship and exposure to other cultures were the main focuses for Laura Burrell, the co-director of the Talmadge center location.
VP nominee JD Vance to dissolve last vestige of mothballed charity, give its $11K to Appalachia
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Republican vice presidential nominee U.S. Sen. JD Vance is preparing to dissolve the vestiges of a charitable effort he launched in Ohio after publication of his best-selling memoir “Hillbilly Elegy,” the Trump-Vance campaign said. Vance formed two like-named nonprofits starting in 2016 to address problems in Ohio and other “Rust Belt” states. They were primarily supposed to focus on boosting job opportunities, improving mental health treatment and combating the opioid crisis. The original organization folded within five years and Vance put the other on hold when he ran successfully for the Senate in 2022. He faced criticism during the race over how little the groups accomplished. Despite Vance’s stated intentions to identify and produce national solutions to those problems, the nonprofits’ only notable achievement was paying to send an addiction specialist to southern Ohio for a year who had questioned the well-documented role of prescription painkillers in the national opioid crisis. Vance has acknowledged that the groups’ efforts fell far short of his aspirations. One of the groups — a foundation — filed paperwork in April reinstating the corporate status it had allowed to expire in 2022.
