St. Louis City SC captured the U.S. Open Cup championship late Wednesday night at ScottsMiracle-Gro Field in Columbus, Ohio, defeating the Columbus Crew 5-3 in a penalty shootout following 120 scoreless minutes of play.

The contest marked the first U.S. Open Cup final decided by penalty kicks in 11 years. The victory gives St. Louis its first major trophy in the club’s fourth year of existence, as well as a berth in the 2027 CONCACAF Champions Cup. The Crew has not hoisted the tournament trophy since 2002.

Columbus controlled the opening 45 minutes, outshooting St. Louis 11-1. The Crew threatened in the 12th minute when Brais Mendez intercepted a pass from goalkeeper Roman Burki and set up Santi Rodriguez, whose shot was turned away by a defender. Columbus nearly broke through again in the 40th minute when Mo Farsi launched a long-distance strike that Burki tipped onto the goalpost.

The second half grew increasingly physical, with the two sides combining for more than 30 fouls. A critical pause occurred in the 70th minute when Burki suffered a head injury during a collision with Anass Zaroury. Burki was removed from the pitch on a stretcher, forcing backup goalkeeper Benjamin Lundt into his first match action since July 16.

Despite 11 minutes of second-half stoppage time, neither team could score, and energy dipped further throughout two scoreless 15-minute extra-time periods.

Lundt came up with the pivotal moment in the shootout, diving to his right to stop Rodriguez’s penalty attempt on Columbus’ opening kick. St. Louis converted all of its opportunities, with Daniel Edelman burying the winning penalty to seal the 5-3 shootout result.

A massive concert at Ohio Stadium in Columbus, Ohio, became the setting for a major personal milestone over the weekend.

Read in Somali ↓

During a Saturday performance by the musical group Twenty One Pilots, Michael Crenshaw asked Gracie Miller to marry him. The proposal took place during what was the band’s largest concert to date.

For the couple, the venue and the music held sentimental meaning. Years earlier, Crenshaw and Miller crossed paths for the first time while attending a Twenty One Pilots concert in Alabama.

After hitting it off, the two spent years navigating a long-distance relationship while living across the country from one another. Crenshaw lived in Louisiana and Miller resided in Utah before the couple recently decided to move in together in Louisiana.

Crenshaw shared that while he considered other options for the proposal, returning to the band that originally connected them proved to be the obvious choice.

“You know, had kind of tossed around the idea of proposing in Utah or finding a special time to do it around here, but nothing just made more sense than proposing in the moment tying back to exactly how we met,” Crenshaw said.

The Fort Recovery Museum in Mercer County, Ohio, is bringing back its free “Beyond the Battlefield” program with an expanded schedule designed to connect students and the public directly with historic tribal nations.

Read in Somali ↓

As part of the revived program, fourth grade classes from four local schools will visit the museum to interact with citizens and leaders from the Eastern Shawnee, Miami, and Wyandotte tribal nations. The visiting tribal representatives work in historic and cultural preservation within their communities.

In addition to the student visits, a community-wide public day is scheduled for Oct. 24 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Fort Recovery Elementary/Middle School. The free event will include social dancing, lacrosse, craft activities, and guided tours of the historic battlefield site.

“Beyond the Battlefield” was created around the museum’s permanent exhibit, “St. Clair’s Defeat Revisited: A New View of the Conflict,” which was developed by Ball State University faculty alongside tribal scholars. The exhibition explores the engagement, known as the most significant defeat of the U.S. military by Native American forces, through the modern perspective of the participating tribes.

The idea to involve fourth grade students came from the Wyandotte Nation, following a similar educational effort at River Raisin National Battlefield Park in Monroe, Michigan. Christine Thompson, a former faculty member at Ball State University who helped design the original exhibit, said visitors will encounter tribal members who are eager to share their culture and modern-day tribal activities.

Organizers previously paused the program for a year after losing grant support. Its return is supported by a grant from the Ohio History Fund. Kim Rammel, site manager for the Fort Recovery Museum, noted that the temporary hiatus gave staff time to reflect and plan for the long-term sustainability of the event.

Madxafka Fort Recovery ee Ohio oo Dib u Soo Celinaya ‘Beyond the Battlefield’

Madxafka Fort Recovery Museum ee ku yaalla Mercer County, Ohio, ayaa dib u soo celinaya barnaamijkiisa bilaashka ah ee loogu magac daray ‘Beyond the Battlefield’, isaga oo sanadkan wata adeegyo iyo fursado waxbarasho oo la ballaariyay si bulshada loogu xiro taariikhda qowmiyadaha asalka loogu yimid dalka Mareykanka.

Barnaamijkan dib loo furay ayaa fursad siinaya ardayda fasalka 4-aad ee afar dugsi oo deegaanka ah, kuwaas oo booqan doona madxafka si ay ula kulmaan madaxda iyo muwaadiniinta qabaa’ilka Eastern Shawnee, Miami, iyo Wyandotte tribal nations. Xubnahan ka socda qabaa’ilka ayaa shaqooyin ku saabsan dhowridda taariikhda iyo dhaqanka ka haya bulshooyinkooda.

Marka laga soo tago booqashooyinka ardayda dugsiyada, waxaa dadweynaha guud loo qaban doonaa maalin gaar ah Oktoobar 24, laga bilaabo 10 subaxnimo ilaa 4 galabnimo, taas oo ka dhici doonta Fort Recovery Elementary/Middle School. Munaasabadda ayaa lagu soo bandhigi doonaa cayaaraha dhaqanka, cayaarta lacrosse, farsamada gacanta, iyo socdaallo taariikheed oo la hagayo oo lagu marayo goobihii dagaalladu ka dhaceen.

Barnaamijka ‘Beyond the Battlefield’ ayaa salka ku haya bandhigga joogtada ah ee madxafka ee loogu magac daray ‘St. Clair’s Defeat Revisited: A New View of the Conflict’.

Animal rescue organizations across Ohio are experiencing severe financial strain as mounting veterinary expenses, declining charitable donations, and an influx of pets push facilities past capacity.

Read in Somali ↓

The pressure has forced some organizations to halt operations. In Mahoning County, Animal Charity of Ohio suspended animal intake, county animal control services, and humane investigations after rising medical costs and falling donations exhausted the organization’s funds. The rescue was on track to see a 28% increase in animal intake compared to the previous year.

The influx comes as families statewide struggle with living costs. An analysis by the Brookings Institution found that roughly 40% of Ohio households are having difficulty making ends meet, leaving many pet owners unable to afford housing, utilities, or veterinary care.

Jenny Falvey, executive director of Animal Charity of Ohio, said many animals arriving at shelters require extensive, costly medical care for neglect and health issues. With donations declining at the same time, maintaining everyday operations has become unsustainable for many rescues.

The crisis is compounded by slower adoption rates. According to data from Shelter Animals Count, dogs in the Midwest stayed at animal rescues an average of more than two weeks longer this year compared to 2019. Longer stays require shelters to finance feeding, housing, and veterinary care over extended periods.

In northwest Ohio, the Fulton County Humane Society is also operating over capacity. Executive Director Stephanie Moore stated that facilities simply have too many dogs and not enough homes available.

Gregory Willey, president of the Ohio Animal Welfare Federation, warned that rescues across the state are dealing with acute anxiety as they face hard choices, including service cuts and rising euthanasia numbers.

To bridge budget shortfalls, shelters are exploring alternative revenue streams. Animal Charity of Ohio is preparing to open a thrift store to support veterinary expenses and is lobbying Mahoning County commissioners for local government funding to help manage animal welfare and control services in the community.

Xarumaha Daryeelka Xayawaanka ee Ohio oo Buux-dhaafay Dhaqaale Xumo Awgeed

Xarumaha daryeelka iyo samatabixinta xayawaanka ee gobolka Ohio ayaa la kulmaya xaalad dhaqaale xumo oo aad u daran, kadib markii ay is biirsadeen kharashaadka daaweynta xoolaha oo kor u kacay, lacagaha tabarucaadka oo yaraaday, iyo tirada xayawaanka la keeno xarumahaas oo sare u kacday.

Culeyskan sii kordhaya ayaa sababay in qaarka mid ah xarumaha ay gabi ahaanba hakiyaan howlaha qaabilaadda. Xarunta Animal Charity of Ohio ee ku taalla Mahoning County ayaa si kumeel-gaar ah u joojisay qaabilaadda xayawaanka cusub, adeegyadii xakameynta xayawaanka ee deegaanka, iyo baaritaannada la xiriira tacaddiyada lagula kaco xoolaha, kadib markii ay ka dhammaadeen lacagihii kaydka ahaa ee ay howlaha ku wadeen. Xaruntan ayaa qarka u saarneyd in tirada xayawaanka ay qaabisho sanadkan ay sare u kacdo boqolkiiba 28 marka la barbar dhigo sanadkii hore.

Jenny Falvey, oo ah agaasimaha fulinta ee Animal Charity of Ohio, ayaa sheegtay in qoysas badan aysan hadda awoodin daryeelka xayawaanka ay guriga ku heystaan. Waxay tilmaantay in labadii bilood ee lasoo dhaafay ay xaruntu samaysay qalliimo badan iyo daaweynta cudurrada maqaarka ee xayawaanka, kuwaas oo u baahday dhaqaale badan oo dhanka caafimaadka iyo dawooyinka ah, xilli tabarucaadkii dadweynuhu ay gabaabsi noqdeen.

Xaaladdan dhaqaale ayaa sidoo kale xiriir la leh duruufaha nolosha ee ka jira gobolka. Warbixin ay soo saartay hay’adda cilmi-baarista ee Brookings Institution ayaa muujisay in ku dhowaad 40% qoysaska ku nool gobolka Ohio ay ku dhibaataysan yihiin maaraynta noloshooda maalinlaha ah, taasoo keentay in dadka qaar ay awoodi waayaan bixinta khidmadaha guryaha iyo adeegyada aasaasiga ah.

Dhanka kale, xogta laga helay hay’adda Shelter Animals Count ayaa muujinaysa in eeyaha ku jira xarumaha badbaadada ee gobollada dhexe ee dalka Mareykanka (Midwest) ay xarumaha ku jiraan waqti ka badan 2 toddobaad marka la barbar dhigo sanadkii 2019. Joogitaanka muddada dheer ayaa sii kordhinaya kharashka ku baxa quudinta iyo daryeelka caafimaad.

Gregory Willey, oo ah madaxweynaha hay’adda Ohio Animal Welfare Federation, ayaa xaqiijiyay in xarumaha gobolka oo dhan ay la daalaa-dhacayaan culeyska xad-dhaafka ah, taasoo ku qasbeysa in adeegyada qaar la dhimo. Dhinaca waqooyi-galbeed ee Ohio, xarunta Fulton County Humane Society ayaa sheegtay in eeyaha ay hayaan ay aad uga badan yihiin awooddii qaabilaadda.

Si ay uga gudbaan dhibaatadan dhaqaale, xarumaha qaar ayaa bilaabay qorshayaal kale oo dakhli lagu abuuro. Xarunta Animal Charity of Ohio ayaa qorsheynaysa inay furto dukaan ay ku iibiso alaabaha la isticmaalay (thrift store) si dakhliga uga soo baxa loogu daboolo daaweynta xayawaanka, iyadoo dhinaca kalena wadahadallo kula jirta mas’uuliyiinta Mahoning County si ay u helaan taageero maaliyadeed oo deegaanka ah.

In Columbus, Ohio, a creative partnership between local corrections officials and animal welfare workers is helping long-term shelter pets find permanent homes.

Read in Somali ↓

Incarcerated individuals at the James A. Karnes Corrections Center are painting individual portraits of dogs staying at the Franklin County Dog Shelter. The finished artwork is placed directly onto the kennels, giving visitors an artistic introduction to animals that might otherwise be overlooked.

Franklin County Dog Shelter Director Kaye Persinger noted that several of the dogs highlighted in the program had lived at the shelter for months without finding a match.

“People tend to just walk by the kennel and don’t take the time to get to know the dog,” Persinger said. “When we have those pictures posted there, people will stop to at least look at the picture and read that story.”

Visitors who adopt one of the featured dogs are permitted to take the custom portrait home with them. Persinger added that the initiative creates an extra layer of connection for adopters. “People are more vested, I think,” she said. “I think they believe that they’re not only helping the dog; they’re helping the people that created these stories.”

Inside the correctional facility, the project has provided inmates with a positive creative outlet and a sense of routine. Capt. Griffin Bluestone, administrator at the Franklin County Jail, said the sheriff’s office views the work as part of broader reentry and skill-building efforts.

“They’re proud of this. They’re asking for updates about the dogs and the adoption status, and it’s something that gets them through the day,” Bluestone said. “We want to teach them valuable skills so that when they leave our custody, they can reenter society, just as these dogs are doing, and be productive members and live happy lives.”

The effort has produced quick results, with almost every dog that received an inmate portrait this month successfully adopted. Shelter staff expect to hang a new round of portraits on kennels this coming weekend.

Maxaabiis ku Xiran Ohio oo Sawirro Farshaxan ah u Sameeyay Eeyo La Korsado

Magaalada Columbus, Ohio, qorshe wadajir ah oo dhexmaray xabsiga maxalliga ah iyo xarunta daryeelka xayawaanka ayaa keenay in eeyo muddo dheer ku jiray xarunta ay ugu dambeyntii helaan guryo lagu xanaaneeyo.

Maxaabiis ku xiran xarunta James A. Karnes Corrections Center, oo ka tirsan xabsiga Franklin County Jail, ayaa sawirro farshaxan ah u sameeyay eeyaha ku nool xarunta Franklin County Dog Shelter.

Agaasimaha xarunta Franklin County Dog Shelter, Kaye Persinger, ayaa sheegtay in qaar ka mid ah eeyaha sawirrada loo sameeyay ay halkaas ku jireen bilooyin iyagoo aan wax korsada helin. Waxay xustay in dadka soo booqda xarunta ay horey u dhaafi jireen xayawaanka, balse sawirradu ay hadda ku dhiirriyeen inay joogsadaan oo ay aqriyaan macluumaadka ku saabsan ey kasta.

Persinger ayaa sidoo kale tilmaantay in dadka korsanaya eeyaha ay dareemayaan inay isku mar caawinayaan eyga la xanaaneynayo iyo qofka maxbuuska ah ee sawirka gacanta ku sameeyay.

Dhinaca kale, maamulaha xabsiga Franklin County Jail, Capt. Griffin Bluestone, ayaa sheegay in mashruucan uu maxaabiista xusuusinayo inay saameyn togan yeelan karaan xitaa iyagoo xabsi ku jira. Waxa uu sheegay in xafiiska sheriff-ka uu dadaal ugu jiro in maxaabiista la baro xirfado qiimo leh si marka ay xabsiga ka baxaan ay dib ugu dhexgalaan bulshada una noqdaan dad waxtar leh.

Bluestone ayaa intaa ku daray in maxaabiistu ay aad ugu faanayaan howshan, islamarkaana ay si joogto ah wax uga weydiiyaan xaaladda eeyaha iyo haddii la korsaday, taas oo ka caawisa inay maalinkooda si wanaagsan u dhammaystaan.

Qorshahan ayaa durba muujiyay guul weyn, waxaana la korsaday ku dhawaad dhammaan eeyihii bishan sawirrada loo sameeyay. Madaxda xarunta ayaa sheegay inay filayaan in dhammaadka toddobaadkan ay soo bandhigaan sawirro horleh oo ay maxaabiistu soo diyaariyeen.

The Circleville Pumpkin Show has returned to Circleville, Ohio, welcoming visitors for four days of seasonal festivities and community traditions in Pickaway County from Wednesday through Saturday.

Read in Somali ↓

First organized in 1903 as a celebration of local agriculture, the gathering has long served as a centerpiece for the community. Organizer Jenny Rhoads described the event as being like Christmas for local residents. A primary agricultural highlight remains the giant pumpkin weigh-in, where Rhoads noted there is anticipation surrounding rumors that a competitor might achieve a state record.

Over the decades, the festival has expanded significantly, becoming widely recognized for its diverse array of pumpkin-infused food. Concessions throughout downtown Circleville feature both traditional items and unconventional recipes, including pumpkin pancakes, pumpkin chili, and classic pumpkin desserts, alongside pumpkin coney dogs, burgers, and tacos.

The influx of visitors also delivers a critical boost to local businesses. At Lindsey’s Bakery, co-owner Zachary Miller noted that the show serves as the shop’s biggest week on the calendar, generating roughly a quarter of its total business for the entire year.

To meet demand, Lindsey’s Bakery prepares and sells thousands of pumpkin donuts during each show. The bakery also maintains its tradition of crafting a massive pumpkin pie, a labor-intensive process that Miller said requires a couple of hours to assemble the crust, followed by six hours of baking and another six hours to cool.

A Twenty One Pilots concert at Ohio Stadium generated record-breaking sales and foot traffic for independent businesses across Columbus, Ohio, over the weekend.

Read in Somali ↓

Fans traveling to the city packed storefronts that have unique connections to the musical duo, creating unprecedented surges in demand for local owners.

In the Short North neighborhood, vintage toy shop Big Fun Columbus experienced its busiest weekend in 13-and-a-half years. Co-owner Jason Williams reported that lines stretched along High Street and around the block, with customers waiting up to three hours to enter. Big Fun Columbus served as the filming location for the band’s music video for the song “Choker.” Over the weekend, the store completely sold out of its Twenty One Pilots merchandise along with apparel and souvenirs featuring the shop’s own logo.

Similar crowds gathered in Clintonville at Lavash Cafe, a Mediterranean restaurant featured in the music video for the duo’s track “Lavish.” Co-owner Jamal Latif stated that the restaurant processed 25% more orders on Friday than on any single day in its 18-year history. Latif noted that the volume surpassed even their busiest annual periods, such as Eid after Ramadan. A batch of 1,000 special commemorative stickers printed by the cafe sold out within two hours.

Both owners said the high turnout offered an important boost amid the daily challenges of operating independent storefronts. Williams noted that the influx of concertgoers also aided neighboring shops and hotels as visitors explored the city. Latif added that reaching major sales milestones provides valuable momentum and reassurance for small business operators navigating month-to-month expenses.
