A decline in volunteer firefighters across Ohio is raising concerns about emergency response capabilities, particularly in the state’s rural communities. With roughly 70% of Ohio fire departments relying on volunteers, officials caution that the shortage could lead to fewer trained personnel during critical situations.

Read in Somali ↓

The issue is especially evident in Athens County, Ohio, where only two fire departments employ full-time firefighters. The remainder of the county depends entirely on volunteer crews. Athens County Emergency Management Agency Director Teresa Fouts-Imler stated that the region had double its current number of volunteer firefighters during major flooding in 1998. Today, local departments must frequently rely on assistance from neighboring counties, which can lead to longer response times.

Fouts-Imler noted that having active volunteers is essential for successful emergency response, emphasizing the need for personnel who can respond when severe disasters strike local communities.

To address the statewide shortfall, the State Fire Marshal’s office has introduced several initiatives aimed at recruitment and retention. The agency has distributed grant funding to volunteer fire departments, provided free training, and established an online recruitment portal to connect interested individuals with local fire departments.

State Fire Marshal Kevin Reardon highlighted that funding and recruitment remain the two main challenges facing emergency services. In the year since the state’s recruitment portal was launched, nearly 2,000 people have submitted inquiries, resulting in 130 commitments to volunteer. Reardon described the initial response as an encouraging first step toward rebuilding volunteer levels across Ohio.

Dhibaatadan ayaa si awoodeed uga muuqata deegaanka Athens County, halkaas oo ay ku yaallaan oo kaliya laba waaxood oo dab-demis ah oo leh shaqaale waqti buuxa shaqeeya. Qeybaha kale ee gobolkaas ayaa gebi ahaanba ku tiirsan mutaddawiciin.

Agaasimaha Wakaaladda Maareynta Xaaladaha Degdegga ah ee Athens County, Teresa Fouts-Imler, ayaa sheegtay in intii lagu jiray daadadkii waaweynaa ee dhacay sannadkii 1998-kii, ay lahaayeen tirada mutaddawiciinta hadda jirta oo laba jeer ka badan. Hadda, waaxuhu waxay inta badan kaalmo ka raadsadaan deegaannada dariska ah, taas oo keeni karta inay dib u dhacdo waqtiga looga jawaabo xaaladaha degdegga ah.

Fouts-Imler ayaa sheegtay in helitaanka mutaddawiciin ay tahay mid muhiim u ah guusha jawaab-celinta xaaladaha degdegga ah. Waxay xustay in masiibooyinka ka dhacay deegaanka dariska ah ee Perry County ay muujinayaan halista ka dhalan karta haddii daadad noocaas oo kale ah ay ku dhataan Athens County.

Si wax looga qabto dhibaatadan ballaaran, Xafiiska Taliyaha Dab-demiska Gobolka Ohio ayaa bilaabay dadaallo dhowr ah oo lagu qorayo dibna loogu soo kabsanayo mutaddawiciinta. Dadaalladaas waxaa ka mid ah bixinta deeqo dhaqaale oo lagu taageerayo waaxaha mutaddawiciinta, tababarro bilaash ah, iyo abuuritaanka madal internetka ah oo isku xaysa dadka danaynaya iyo waaxaha dab-demiska ee ugu dhow.

A federal agreement to import 300,000 metric tons of tariff-free beef over 90 days has prompted strong reactions from livestock producers in Central Ohio, where local farmers report a surge in direct sales fueled by consumer questions about foreign meat supplies.

Read in Somali ↓

The administration of President Donald Trump introduced the temporary import program to help lower grocery costs for consumers while giving domestic cattle producers time to rebuild their herds. However, federal officials have not disclosed the specific country of origin for the incoming shipments.

In Circleville, Ohio, local agricultural businesses say community skepticism regarding imported meat is steering more residents toward regional producers. Aaron Singerman, owner of Ripple Run Farms, said his business experienced an immediate boost in sales following the federal announcement.

“We just got three cows back from the butcher last Monday, and we’re just about sold out already,” Singerman said, noting that the primary concern among local buyers revolves around where the imported product is sourced.

The national cattle inventory is currently at a 75-year low due to prolonged droughts and escalating operational expenses, according to figures from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). These conditions have squeezed livestock supplies nationwide and elevated costs for farmers trying to meet consumer demand.

Singerman voiced concern that importing beef will not resolve long-term affordability issues for American families, arguing that the federal government should invest directly in helping domestic producers rebuild their herds instead of directing funds overseas.

He warned that the temporary influx of duty-free beef could create a false expectation of cheap prices, adding that once the temporary supply leaves the market, prices could rise again, leaving consumers struggling to afford meat.

Go’aanka Trump ee Hilibka Bilaashka Canshuurta oo Walaac ku Dhaliyay Ohio

CIRCLEVILLE, Ohio – Heshiis ay xukuumadda Madaxweyne Donald Trump ku shaacisay in dalka Mareykanka lagu soo dhoofin doono 300,000 oo metric ton oo hilib lo’aad ah oo aan lahayn canshuuraha kastamka muddo 90 maalmood ah ayaa dhaliyay jawaabo kala duwan oo ka yimid beeralayda xoolaha dhaqda ee gobolka Ohio.

Talaabadan oo looga golleeyahay in lagu dhimo qiimaha hilibka ee dukaamada xilliga ay beeralayda dalku dib u dhisayaan xoolahooda ayaa waxaa ka dhashay su’aalo ku saabsan halka uu hilibkaas ka imaanayo, maadaama xukuumadu aysan shaacin dalka rasmiga ah ee lagu soo saaray. Tani waxay keentay in macaamiil badan oo ku nool magaalada Circleville iyo deegaannada ku dhow dhow ay u jeedsadaan iibsashada hilibka laga soo saaro beeraha maxalliga ah.

Aaron Singerman, oo ah milkiilaha beerta Ripple Run Farms ee magaalada Circleville, ayaa sheegay in ganacsigiisa uu kor u kici ka dib markii macaamiil badan ay muujiyeen shaki ku saabsan hilibka dibadda ka imaanaya. Singerman ayaa xusay in cabsida ugu weyn ee dadka haysa ay tahay inaan la ogeyn halka hilibka dibadda lagu soo saaray, wuxuuna intaas ku daray in Isniintii la soo dhaafay oo kaliya ay guchii ka soo celiyeen saddex lo’ ah oo la qalay, hilibkiina uu ku dhow yahay inuu dhammaado.

Sida lagu sheegay warbixinnada ka soo baxay Waaxda Beeraha ee Mareykanka (USDA), tirada xoolaha lo’da ah ee dalka Mareykanka ayaa maraysa heerkii ugu hooseeyay muddo 75 sano ah. Tani ayaa ka dhalatay abaaraha baahsan iyo kor u kaca ku yimid kharashaadka ku baxa xannaanaynta xoolaha, taas oo ku qasbtay beeralayda inay kordhiyaan qiimaha hilibka.

Madaxweyne Trump ayaa sheegay in heshiiskan 90-ka maalmood ah uu beeralayda siinayo waqti ay dib ugu dhisataan xoolahooda. Hase yeeshee, Singerman ayaa ka soo horjeestay aragtidaas, isagoo ku baaqay in dowladda Mareykanka ay lacagta ku bixiso taageerida beeralayda dalka halkii lacago lagu bixin lahaa waddamada dibadda.

Ugu dambeyntii, Singerman wuxuu ka hoos xariiqay in hilibka jaban ee suuqyada lagu soo daadsho uu bulshada siin dooni rajo falas ah oo ku saabsan qiimaha hilibka. Wuxuu sheegay in marka uu idlaado muddada heshiiska oo hilibkaas uu suuqa ka baxo, qiimuhu uu dib u kici doono, taas oo macaamiisha ku qasbi doonta inay xaalad cusub oo dhib badan kala kulmaan iibsashada hilibka.

Shoppers in Columbus, Ohio, will soon be able to purchase Homage-branded apparel at area thrift locations through a new retail partnership.

Read in Somali ↓

Beginning Friday at 9 a.m., all Goodwill Columbus stores will offer apparel from the Ohio-based clothing brand. The merchandise primarily includes customer returns and aged inventory stemming from a consolidation of Homage’s stock after a recent warehouse relocation. The arrival of the items coincides with the start of the football season, giving local consumers access to sports gear.

Homage Chief Executive Officer Ryan Vesler explained that the brand’s growth strategy has shifted toward online retail, licensing partnerships, team stores, and wholesale accounts. As part of this transition, Homage closed its physical store in the Short North neighborhood of Columbus, Ohio, in March. Vesler said providing these items to Goodwill Columbus allows the company to put its apparel directly into the hands of local residents.

Goodwill Columbus President and Chief Executive Officer Ryan Burgess highlighted the community value of the effort.

“Together, we’re giving shoppers access to an amazing brand and an easy way to support their community,” Burgess said.

The land acquisition is expected to wrap up in November, with construction starting soon after and an opening targeted for the first quarter of 2028.

Developers plan to preserve aspects of the original building, including converting the bank vault into a wine cellar. The venue will include a dining area, a bar, a dedicated pasta-making room, and an open kitchen centered around a wood-fired Argentinian-style grill. The space will accommodate 140 indoor guests along with 34 outdoor seats.

Construction is officially underway on a new residential development on the East Side of Columbus, Ohio. The City of Columbus and its development partners gathered on Aug. 27 for a groundbreaking ceremony at the southeast corner of East Broad Street and South Gould Road to mark the start of the Broad & Gould Condominiums project. Completion is expected in fall 2027.

Read in Somali ↓

The planned four-story building will house 23 two- and three-bedroom condominiums ranging from roughly 950 to 1,300 square feet. Building plans feature first-level parking, a community room, and an onsite fitness center. The homes are expected to sell for about $199,000 to buyers who meet income eligibility requirements.

Finance Fund is acting as the developer and builder for the complex. Financial support includes $3 million from the City of Columbus through its voter-approved $500 million Affordable Housing Bond program, along with $1.1 million dedicated to homebuyer assistance.

To ensure the properties remain affordable over time, the development operates under a model managed by the Central Ohio Community Land Trust, a subsidiary of COCIC, the Franklin County Land Bank. Homeowners will own their condominium units, while the land trust retains ownership of the underlying land. If a homeowner decides to sell, the property must be sold to another income-qualified buyer at an affordable price, preserving accessibility while allowing owners to accumulate equity. The land trust has constructed and sold more than 200 homes across Franklin County since its establishment.

“These condos are precisely what voters endorsed when they approved the $500 million Affordable Housing Bonds: creating opportunities for any Columbus residents to prosper and thrive as our city grows,” Columbus Mayor Andrew Ginther said. Mayor Ginther added that the complex fits into the city’s broader housing vision, which includes Zone In, an initiative focused on updating local zoning laws.

Curtiss Williams, president and CEO of COCIC, emphasized the community benefit of converting the site. “In this case, we are creating 23 opportunities for individuals and families to become homeowners, build equity and put down roots in a neighborhood they can call home,” Williams said.

Columbus Oo Laga Bilaabay Dhismaha 23 Guri Oo Qiimaha La Awoodi Karo

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Waxaa bariga magaalada Columbus ee gobolka Ohio si rasmi ah uga bilaabatay dhismaha mashruuc cusub oo lagu dhisayo 23 guri oo ah nooca condominiums-ka ee qiimahooda la awoodi karo. Mas’uuliyiinta magaalada iyo hawl-wadaagooda dhanka horumarinta ayaa 27-kii Ogoosto dhagax-dhigay mashruucan oo loo bixiyay Broad & Gould Condominiums, kaas oo ku yaalla isgoyska koonfur-bari ee waddada East Broad Street iyo South Gould Road.

Dhismaha oo ka kooban afar dabaq ayaa la filayaa in dhismihiisa la soo gaba gabeeyo bartamaha ama dib u dhaca sannadka 2027. Dhismaha ayaa xambaarsan guryo ka kooban laba iyo saddex qol oo spasiyadoodu u dhexeyso 950 ilaa 1,300 oo cagaha laba-xaglood ah (square feet). Qorshaha dhismaha waxaa sidoo kale ku jira meel gaadiidka la dhigo oo ku taalla dabaqa ugu horreeya, qolka bulshada, iyo xarunta jimicsiga. Guryahan ayaa la qorsheeyay in lagu iibiyo qiyaastii $199,000 oo doolar, iyadoo loo iibin doono iibsanayaasha buuxiya shuruudaha dakhliga ee ay dhigtay hay’adda Central Ohio Community Land Trust.

Shirkadda Finance Fund ayaa u taagan horumarinta iyo dhismaha mashruucan. Magaalada Columbus ayaa ku bixineysa mashruucan $3 milyan oo doolar oo ka xootay barnaamijkeeda amaahda guryaha ee $500 milyan oo doolar ah (Affordable Housing Bond) ee ay codbixiyayaashu ansixiyeen, waxaana u dheer $1.1 milyan oo doolar oo loogu talaggalay in lagu caawiyo dadka iibsanaya guryaha.

Si loo dammaanad qaado in guryahani ay sii ahaadaan kuwo qiimahooda la awoodi karo xitaa marka mustaqbalka dib loo iibinayo, mashruucu wuxuu adeegsanayaa habka Central Ohio Community Land Trust, oo ah waax ka tirsan bangiga dhulka ee Franklin County Land Bank (COCIC). Qofka iibsada guriga ayaa yeelan doona dhismaha guriga gudihiisa, halka hay’adda Land Trust ay maamuleysid dhulka uu gurigu ku fadhiyo. Marka milkiilaha gurigu uu ambaqaado inuu iibiyo, guriga waxaa loo iibin doonaa qof kale oo dakhligiisu xaddidan yahay oo shuruudaha buuxiya, taas oo ka hortagaysa in guriga lagu iibiyo qiimaha suuqa ee xad-dhaafka ah. Hay’adda Central Ohio Community Land Trust ayaa dhistay oo iibisay ka badan 200 oo guri oo ku yaalla Franklin County tan iyo markii la aasaasay.

Duqa Magaalada Columbus, Andrew Ginther, ayaa sheegay in mashruucani uu yahay mid si sax ah uga tarjumaya rabitaanka codbixiyayaasha. “Guryahan waxay si sax ah uga tarjumayaan wixii ay codbixiyayaashu taageereen markii ay ansixiyeen $500 milyan ee guryaha qiimahooda la awoodo: abuurista fursado ay dhammaan dadka degan Columbus ku horumari karaan marka ay magaaladu sii kasteyso,” ayuu yiri Ginther. Wuxuu sidoo kale tilmaamay in mashruucan uu qeyb ka yahay qorshaha weyn ee magaalada ee dib u dhiska shuruucda deegaanka ee loo yaqaan Zone In.

Madaxweynaha iyo Madaxa Fulinta ee COCIC, Curtiss Williams, ayaa isna hoosta ka xariiqay muhiimada ay leedahay in dhul muddo bannaana oo aan la adeegsan loo badalo mid waxtar leh. “Xaaladdan oo kale, waxaan u abuuraynaa 23 fursadood dadka iyo qoysaska si ay u noqdaan milkiilayaal guryo, ay u abuuraan hanti, ugana dhataan xididada xaafad ay u callaabi karaan meel ay leeyihiin,” ayuu yiri Williams.

COLUMBUS, Ohio — The owner of the Bier Stube is updating patrons on efforts to reopen the iconic campus-area establishment after facing unexpected renovation delays at its new location.

Read in Somali ↓

Craig Kempton, owner of the Bier Stube, shared a progress report on social media regarding the bar’s move to 234 King Ave. in Columbus, Ohio. The new venue is the former site of Junior’s Bar and Grill, located just blocks from the bar’s original home.

The original Bier Stube first opened near Ohio State in 1966. In fall 2024, the structure was demolished to make way for a 13-story high-rise development.

Rebuilding efforts have taken longer than planned due to setback issues with bringing the building up to code. According to the Franklin County auditor, the King Avenue building was constructed in 1920. Kempton explained that the 100-year-old structure required extensive work on the interior due to years of neglect, though structural progress is moving forward.

State liquor license records show the Bier Stube is currently awaiting approval for a location transfer so it can legally resume selling alcohol.

Despite the delays, Kempton expressed optimism about completing renovations in time to welcome customers for college football games. Marking the milestone, Kempton introduced a new T-shirt featuring a Superman-inspired logo and the phrase “Bier Stube / We Back,” expressing gratitude to patrons for their continued support and patience.

Milkiilaha Bier Stube oo Xog ka Bixiyay Dib u Furista Maqaayadda ee Ohio

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Milkiilaha maqaayadda caanka ah ee Bier Stube ayaa macaamiishiisa u wadaagay warbixin ku saabsan dadaallada loogu jiro dib u furista goobtaas, ka dib markii hawlaha dib u dhiska ay la kulmeen dib u dhac ka dhashay dhismaha cusub oo u baahan in la waafajiyo shuruudaha sharciga dhismaha.

Craig Kempton, oo ah milkiilaha Bier Stube, ayaa baraha bulshada ku daabacay xog ku saabsan dib u u wareegista goobta cusub oo ku taal 234 King Ave. ee magaalada Columbus, Ohio. Goobtan cusub, oo ay horay uga shaqayn jirtay Junior’s Bar and Grill, ayaa ku taal meel dhowr blocks u jirta goobtidii hore ee maqaayadda.

Maqaayadda Bier Stube ayaa markii ugu horreysay albaabada u furtay macaamiisha u dhow Ohio State sannadkii 1966. Si kastaba ha ahaatee, dhismihii hore ayaa la dumiyay dayrtii 2024 si looga dhiso dhisme cusub oo 13 dabaq ah.

Hawlaha dib u dhiska ayaa ka dheeraaday wixii la filayay sababo la xiriira caqabado ka dhashay u kufeegista dhismaha shuruudaha sharciga. Sida ku xusan diiwaanka hantidhawrka Franklin County, dhismaha King Ave waxaa la dhisay sannadkii 1920. Kempton ayaa sheegay in dhismahan 100-sano jirka ah uu sanado badan ahaa mid la dayacay, taas oo keentay in shaqo badan oo gudaha ah lagu sameeyo.

Sidoo kale, diiwaanka ruqsadda khamriga ee gobolka ayaa muujinaya in Bier Stube ay hadda sugeyso ansixinta wareejinta ruqsadda goobta si ay si sharci ah ugu iibiso cabitaanka.

In kasta oo ay dib u dhac faraha badani jiraan, Kempton wuxuu muujiyay rajo wanaagsan oo ku aadan in dhismaha la dhameystiri doono ka hor ciyaaraha kubadda cagta ee kuleejka. Kempton ayaa sidoo kale soo bandhigay funaanad cusub oo ay ku qoran tahay “Bier Stube / We Back” oo leh calaamadda Superman, isagoo macaamiishiisa ugu mahadceliyay samirka iyo taageerada ay muujiyeen.
