Local resident exceeds goal by finishing 63 races in 2017
CELINA - Rick Krogman, 58, Celina, has run 63 5K races in the last year, outpacing his original goal of 60 races.
Along the way, he has earned 32 medals and other rewards for placing in the top three of his age group - all while running with two artificial hips.
Mercer County sells salt to Auglaize County for storm
CELINA - The Mercer County Engineer's Office sold 150 tons of salt to a neighboring county to help its road crews prepare for Friday's snowstorm, which turned out to not be as bad as first predicted.
CLAYTON - A Celina woman has been indicted on several felony charges, including aggravated vehicular assault, stemming from a four-vehicle crash more than three years ago.
WAYNESFIELD - A rural Waynesfield man was arrested on drugs and weapons charges on Thursday afternoon, according to an Auglaize County Sheriff's news release.
The snow and wind forced the Midwest Athletic Conference and Western Buckeye League to postpone all of Friday night's games and prompted changes to the weekend schedule for the Minster girls basketball team.
