• Ohio residents continue signature collection for petition ban on data centers (mariettatimes.com) — A proposed large-scale data center in Waterford has sparked a statewide petition drive to ban high‑power data centers, with local volunteers gathering signatures at events and polling places. Organizers say secrecy around non-disclosure agreements and potential impacts on rural land and power use are driving residents, including Washington County petition leader Lynn Cady, to push for a November ballot measure.

• Metheney excited to lead Ohio in BACF (mariettatimes.com) — Waterford football standouts Cadon Riley, Trevin Zimmer, and Ryker Hutchins will suit up for Ohio in Friday’s Battle Against Cystic Fibrosis All-Star Football Classic, coached by Frontier’s Damon Metheney.
