Richland Source
Richland Source presents your daily dose of journalism. Listen to the top stories, breaking news and need-to-know information from your award-winning local news team.
This week on News Man Weekly, it's Richland County Fair week and Carl gives his top 5 fair foods. The crew also digs into the latest Richland County headlines, including the investigation into the May killing of 18-year-old Le’Ondra Messner, new economic development projects taking shape across the county and a debate at Mansfield City Council over whether more resources should be directed toward proactive youth violence prevention.
Later, we sit down with Mansfield native Tom Joudrey, creator of Passenger Seat, a three-part podcast revisiting the harrowing 2012 kidnapping of Jennifer Hurst. Joudrey explains what drew him back to a story from his hometown, how he reconstructed Hurst’s 12-hour ordeal and why the series ultimately became about much more than the crime itself.
The conversation explores Hurst’s remarkable composure during the kidnapping, the collateral damage of addiction, Joudrey’s trip to Grafton Correctional Institution to interview Nathan Taylor and the ethical challenges of telling a true-crime story involving real people and lasting trauma. Joudrey also discusses why, more than a decade later, Hurst still feels compelled to tell her story — and what creating Passenger Seat taught him about storytelling, journalism and his hometown.

In this week's episode of the News Man Weekly, four grown men road-trip two hours down I-71 to visit Buc-ee’s -- a gas station with a cult following, a beaver mascot and apparently bathrooms nice enough to justify burning half a tank of gas just to see them. Because nothing says journalism like chasing brisket and jerky in a retail complex the size of Mansfield.
In all seriousness, with a Buc-ee’s potentially coming to Mansfield, we had to see one for ourselves. We made the trip to the grand opening, joining thousands of curious shoppers, catching a press conference from Mike DeWine and even grabbing a quick moment with founder Arch "Beaver" Aplin III.
In the "News of the Week" segment, it was a classic spring chaos cocktail -- flooding that turned Bellville into a temporary waterfront community, a multi-agency drug crackdown that kept law enforcement busy and a sewage scare courtesy of wipes-that-are-definitely-not-flushable.
Thanks for tuning in! Join us again next Tuesday when we'll be back in the studio with better audio.

In this episode Richland Source managing editor Larry Phillips and city editor Carl Hunnell compare and contrast the two most famous murder cases in Mansfield history. The Sternbaum trial was the subject of a four-part series that was published earlier this week on Richland Source. The murder of Leah Sternbaum took place on Dec. 4, 1952, and her husband Max was found not guilty on March 4, 1954 in what was known at the time as Ohio's Trial of the Century.
The Boyle trial may be much more familiar for those living in the community since 1990. Noreen Boyle was murdered on New Year's Eve, 1989, and her husband, Dr. John Boyle's murder trial took place the following spring. Unlike Max Sternbaum, who was found not guilty, Dr. Boyle is still serving his sentence in prison.
Read our four-part series on Richland Source:
Part I: Mystery caller triggers another look at Sternbaum murder case, 70 years later
Part II: Mansfield’s infamous Sternbaum case started with a murder & arson
Part III: Stunning verdict ended Sternbaum trial on March 4, 1954

In fact, he recently performed in three sold-out shows in Florida as the new bassist for The Cyrkle. Although it's not the continuing magical, musical mystery tour he would have imagined when he helped form the Ohio Express in 1967.

Under the old law, Ohio residents purchasing consumer-grade fireworks -- things like firecrackers, Roman candles and bottle rockets -- had 48 hours to transport them out of the state.

The Mansfield Board of Control has awarded a $1.5 million contract to EMH&T for the design of an earthen dry dam aimed at alleviating flooding on the city's north. Mansfield City Council approved the expense back in September for the design of the Touby Run Flood Mitigation Hazard Project to remove 106 acres of homes and businesses from the city's north end flood plain. According to the EMH&T proposal, the dry dam would reduce the potential for inundation of land, buildings and key transportation corridors during the 100-year flood event.

The owners of Reindeer Grill – Ralph and Lisa Powell – have started a new business. They’re calling it Sugar Baby Patch and Garden. Ralph and Lisa Powell love spending time outdoors. So when their 5-year-old daughter asked to pick watermelons at a local patch, they of course, started looking around for one. The family had picked apples and blueberries before, but never watermelon. And it turns out, there weren’t any places to do it…at least nearby. So Ralph and Lisa decided they’d create a watermelon patch of their own.

Today - How local health departments are shouldering the task of sharing public information online during the pandemic. There was no social media during the last major pandemic in the United States. During the 1918 flu, the public received information from advertisements, newspapers and flyers. Today, almost two years into the COVID-19 pandemic, social media is flooded with information from personal accounts, health departments and anyone between. And while social media has made public health information more easily accessible, health officials have voiced concerns about how social media also makes it much easier to spread false information. Public health officials in Knox, Richland and Ashland Counties agree. Though it’s a mixed bag, they ultimately think social media is an important tool for public health communication in the digital age.

The question was a common theme this fall during the six "Talk the Vote'' sessions that we hosted leading up to the Nov. 2 election. A lot of readers and listeners asked about the topic, similar to 2019. Because the need for public transit is not surprising. Many of us depend on buses to get to work, medical appointments, social service meetings, shopping and much more.
Also, a lot of residents have noticed the additional flags outside the Knox County Service Center. In fact, one Knox Pages reader wondered where the money came from for the new flags and also questioned the cost.

Today - Judge Frank Ardis will not take a back seat to a groundhog when it comes to weather prognostication. The veteran Mansfield Municipal Court jurist says he thinks he’s more accurate than a woodchuck.
Also, even in the best of times meeting the needs of special education students can pose challenges for educators. But when the pandemic forced stay-at-home remote learning, augmented by summer breaks, those challenges intensified. Critical in-person, face-to-face contact was lost. For teachers and their special-needs students at Clear Fork Valley Local Schools, a 21-month rollercoaster of rebuilding eroded skills continues.

Today - On Friday July 11, 1969, Theodore John Conrad pulled off one of the biggest bank robberies in Cleveland history. The case remained cold until just this past week when United States Marshals from Cleveland traveled to Boston, Massachusetts and positively identified Thomas Randele of Massachusetts as the fictitious name of Theodore Conrad.
Also, the 911 phone line in Knox County has gone down twice in the last few weeks. The reason why? On Nov. 5 and Oct. 16, CenturyLink — the provider the county uses for its emergency lines — had area outages.

Today - There are no unimportant jobs in the U.S. military, said retired CMSgt. Thomas Jones Jr. during yesterday’s annual Veterans Day ceremony at the Gazebo in Central Park. Jones reminded those in attendance that anyone who takes the military enlistment oath agreed to sacrifice themselves in the defense of the country. He said that no matter when you joined, you didn't know what was going to happen to you ... what the circumstances were going to be. Everyone saw something unique and different - everyone who served.
Also, Jane Roland didn’t know what she’d find when she set out to take photos of old grave markers at Ashland County Home Memorial Park for a genealogical website. What she found, however, was a cemetery in disrepair. The wooden sign welcoming passersby at the front of the property along County Road 1754 had nearly collapsed. The stone markers were sunken into the ground -- some of them weren’t even visible anymore.

Today - The Mansfield City Council ponders home varmint issues... Can you hire a licensed, commercial nuisance wild animal control officer to trap and take away from your property live animals that may carry rabies, such as raccoons, skunks and possums? Does the City of Mansfield, which is a charter city, have the "Home Rule" ability to write ordinances that don't always that jibe with state laws and regulations? These kinds of questions came up Tuesday night during an otherwise quickly-flowing Mansfield City Council meeting as local lawmakers pondered a change to the city's ordinance governing hunting and trapping within city limits.
Also, From Knox Pages…All of Knox County’s school districts have or will in the coming days return to optional mask policies. Masks are still required on school buses under a federal mandate.

You're listening to Source Daily. Join us Monday through Friday to stay up to date with what's happening in North Central Ohio. We’ll be sharing a closer look at one of our top stories, along with other news, local history, memorials, answers to your questions, and more.
Today - The City of Mansfield will receive $1 million in federal funds to help with homeless residents and those at risk of becoming homeless.
Before we begin, we’d like to take a moment to thank our Sponsors at First Federal Community Bank. Today, First Federal Community Bank wants you to meet Travis Smith, Assistant Vice President in Commercial Banking, as he continues to help Mansfield area business owners and investors expand their business or start a new one. Travis thrives on being a resource for the community to explore all of their business banking needs through a collaborative approach. Together you’ll talk about the resources available to meet your goals.
First Federal Community Bank looks forward to collaborating with more local business, owners and investors soon. Equal Housing Lender, Member FDIC.
Adrian Ackerman, the community development and housing director, said that the City of Mansfield will receive $1 million in federal funds to assist with homeless residents and those at risk of becoming homeless. The money was allocated to the city through the American Rescue Plan Act through the Home Investment Partnerships Program. It's in addition to the $21 million the city is receiving in other ARPA funding.
In fact, the ARPA provides $5 billion across the country to help people or households who are homeless, at risk of homelessness, and other vulnerable populations. How? By providing housing, rental assistance, supportive services, and other types of shelter. The goal is to create housing stability country-wide. Ackerman explained that they didn't even have to apply since they’re already a HOME-funded entity. That meant they were automatically eligible. And last week he received 160 pages of rules and requirements on how the money can be used.
The timing of the funds looks appropriate. On Thursday, Richland County Commissioner Tony Vero said there’s an apparent visible rise in homeless residents in downtown Mansfield. It prompted him to see how Richland County could help. Vero and others pointed out how the gazebo in Central Park downtown has recently become an overnight gathering point for homeless or transient residents. There are also issues with activities in an alley near Central Park.
Vero said commissioners have been contacted by multiple business owners and residents asking what they can do. He noted that these contacts have been made "out of concern, not complaint." To start, Vero is contacting Joe Trolian, the executive director of Richland County Mental Health & Recovery Services, and Sharlene Neumann, the executive director of Richland County Job & Family Services. There are so many reasons involved in the homelessness issue, including mental health - and it's unclear what form county government assistance it might take to address these issues. Ackerman agrees, saying they want to make sure they’re able to do the most efficient and effective programming they can. Naturally, it’s going to take some time to determine what the needs are, and what’s reasonable to implement. But at least the funds are there to address it.
Next, some local history. If you drive south of Bellville on the Ankneytown Road, right after you leave Richland County and right before you hit Ohio 95 you’ll pass through the little hamlet of Ankneytown. In the old country a ‘hamlet’ became a ‘village’ when it had a church, and there is definitely a church in Ankneytown... though its hopes for becoming a village stopped at about a dozen houses. It did get the railroad, though, in the 1800s, and if the Richland B&O Trail were to be extended past Butler the next stop for cyclists would be downtown Ankneytown. Head over to richlandsource.com to check out a glass negative of the hamlet in 1890.
Next, From Ashland Source - Ashland high school golfer, Klaira Paramore, earned medalist honors with a 74 during Saturday's Ohio Cardinal Conference championship match at Brookside Golf Course. Paramore's score tied Lexington's Hannah Smith. However, Paramore won medalist honors in a scorecard playoff. Lexington captured the OCC team title by carding a 347. That was just enough to edge second-place Ashland at 349. Wooster was third at 355 and Mansfield Senior was fourth at 576. The first-team All-OCC honorees include: Paramore, Smith, Lexington's Alaina Kathrein, Ashland's Emma Packard, and Wooster's Mackenzi Ahrens.

Finally, we’d like to take a moment to remember 39 year old Kristin Stewart of Mansfield who passed away following a sudden illness. She was born in Elyria and graduated from Madison High School in 2001. Kristin married Rick Stewart in 2013 and worked as an STNA at Oak Grove for many years, but left to stay home and raise her girls. She was hard working and had it all together. Keeping the house tidy, baking chocolate chip cookies and running the girls to games and practice, she was the ultimate soccer mom. Described as “the rock” of her family, her family was also her world. She is survived by her husband Rick, their daughters Keeli and Kacie, her parents, five sisters, her in-laws and many nieces, nephews and numerous friends.
