Lifelong Cleveland baseball fan Dustin Rose expressed satisfaction with the team’s consistent performance. “I’m happy that they won the AL Central, and anything they do other than that is bonus time for me,” Rose commented.

Ohio’s manufacturing industry, one of the largest in the United States, is experiencing a substantial workforce shortage. The Ohio Manufacturers’ Association estimates that 35,000 new workers are needed annually to meet demand and replace retiring employees. In 2024, the sector’s gross domestic product in Ohio exceeded $137.9 billion.

Read in Somali ↓

To address this critical need, the Appalachian Ohio Manufacturers’ Coalition launched the Made in Appalachia program a year ago. Funded by $3 million in state funding, the initiative aims to equip people participating in behavioral health recovery programs with essential manufacturing skills.

Hunter Warsinsky, the workforce program manager for Made in Appalachia, emphasized the importance of breaking the stigma associated with manufacturing jobs and providing opportunities. “We want to get individuals in recovery off the sidelines and give them an opportunity to get a family sustaining wage job, and at the same time help the manufacturing field in our area,” Warsinsky stated.

Southeast Ohio has been particularly affected by the opioid epidemic, and individuals in recovery often face challenges finding employment. The Made in Appalachia program seeks to bridge this gap by offering training in areas such as resume creation, welding, operating 6,000-watt lasers, and 3D printing.

In its first year, Made in Appalachia connected with over 50 individuals. Christian Noland, a program participant who is 120 days sober, expressed his interest in manufacturing, noting, “It’s fun. I like working with computers. And they’re always looking for workers doing manufacturing.”

Colt Morningstar, Made in Appalachia’s workforce program coordinator, highlighted the practical barriers participants face, such as transportation to training or childcare. “We really have to meet them where they’re at,” Morningstar said, emphasizing that a lack of opportunity, not a lack of desire, often hinders these individuals.

While one participant has been hired by a local manufacturer so far, Morningstar believes a key challenge is convincing more employers to consider individuals with recovery backgrounds. “Everybody’s human and everybody makes mistakes. It’s just not everybody has a mistake go on their record,” he added.

The program plans to expand its reach by providing mobile manufacturing training to people in a local jail, aiming to offer second chances and bolster the manufacturing workforce.

Barnaamijka Ohio oo Dadka Soo Kabanaya u Tababaraya Shaqooyinka Warshadaha

Warshadaha wax soo saarka ee gobolka Ohio ayaa ka mid ah kuwa ugu waaweyn dalka Mareykanka, laakiin waxay la kulmayaan yaraanta shaqaale. Ururka Warshadlayaasha Ohio (Ohio Manufacturers’ Association) ayaa ku qiyaasay in loo baahan yahay 35,000 oo shaqaale cusub sannad kasta si loo daboolo baahida sii kordheysa iyo in lagu beddelo kuwa hawlgabka noqonaya. Sannadkii 2024, wax soo saarka guud ee waaxdan ee Ohio wuxuu gaaray in ka badan $137.9 bilyan.

Si wax looga qabto baahidan degdegga ah, Isbahaysiga Warshadlayaasha Appalachian Ohio (Appalachian Ohio Manufacturers’ Coalition) ayaa sanad ka hor bilaabay barnaamijka ‘Made in Appalachia’. Barnaamijkan oo lagu maalgeliyay $3 milyan oo ka yimid dowladda gobolka, wuxuu ujeedkiisu yahay in lagu siiyo dadka ka qaybgalaya barnaamijyada soo kabashada caafimaadka dabeecadda xirfado wax soo saar oo muhiim ah.

Hunter Warsinsky, oo ah maamulaha barnaamijka shaqaalaha ee ‘Made in Appalachia’, ayaa hoosta ka xariiqay muhiimadda ay leedahay in la jabiyo fikradda xun ee laga qabo shaqooyinka wax soo saarka iyo in la siiyo fursado. Warsinsky wuxuu yiri, “Waxaan dooneynaa inaan dadka soo kabsanaya ka soo saarno dhinacyada oo aan siino fursad ay ku helaan shaqo mushahar ku filan qoyska, isla mar ahaantaana aan ka caawino goobta wax soo saarka ee deegaankayaga.”

Koonfur-bari Ohio waxaa si gaar ah u saameeyay dhibaatada maandooriyaha opioid, waxaana dadka soo kabsanaya ay inta badan la kulmaan caqabado dhanka shaqo helista ah. Barnaamijka ‘Made in Appalachia’ wuxuu doonayaa inuu buuxiyo farqigan isagoo bixinaya tababarro kala duwan, oo ay ka mid yihiin samaynta CV-ga, alxanka, isticmaalka leysarrada 6,000-watt ah, iyo daabacaadda 3D.

Sanadkii ugu horreeyay ee barnaamijka, wuxuu la xiriiray in ka badan 50 qof. Christian Noland, oo ah ka qaybgale barnaamijka ah oo 120 maalmood ka nadiif ah maandooriyaha, ayaa muujiyay xiisaha uu u qabo wax soo saarka, isagoo xusay, “Waa wax lagu farxo. Waxaan jecelahay inaan la shaqeeyo kombiyuutarada. Had iyo jeerna waxay raadinayaan shaqaale wax soo saar.”

Colt Morningstar, oo ah isuduwaha barnaamijka shaqaalaha ee ‘Made in Appalachia’, ayaa iftiimiyay caqabadaha dhabta ah ee ay la kulmaan ka qaybgalayaasha, sida gaadiidka ay ku tagaan tababarka ama daryeelka carruurta. Morningstar wuxuu yiri, “Runtii waa inaan kula kulannaa meesha ay joogaan,” isagoo carabka ku adkeeyay in fursad la’aanta, ee aanay ahayn rabitaan la’aan, ay inta badan hor istaagto shakhsiyaadkan.

Inkastoo hal ka qaybgale oo barnaamijka ah uu shaqo ka helay warshad maxalli ah ilaa hadda, Morningstar wuxuu aaminsan yahay in caqabadda ugu weyn ay tahay in la qanciyo loo-shaqeeyayaal badan inay tixgeliyaan shakhsiyaadka leh taariikh soo kabasho. Wuxuu intaa ku daray, “Qof kasta waa bini’aadam, qof kastaana wuu khaldamaa. Ma aha qof kasta oo qaladkiisu ku qoran yahay diiwaankiisa.”

Barnaamijku wuxuu qorsheynayaa inuu ballaariyo gaaristiisa isagoo bixinaya tababar wax soo saar oo mobile ah dadka ku jira xabsi maxalli ah, isagoo ujeedkiisu yahay inuu siiyo fursado labaad oo uu xoojiyo shaqaalaha wax soo saarka.

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Senator Bernie Moreno (R-Ohio) is advocating for a federal gas tax suspension, coming shortly after Ohio’s statewide gas tax pause went into effect on Sunday. Moreno posted on Thursday, stating, “Now it’s time for the Federal Government to follow suit with a temporary suspension!”

Read in Somali ↓

Ohio’s state tax suspension reduces the 38.5-cent-per-gallon tax on gasoline and the 47-cent-per-gallon tax on diesel to essentially nothing for 90 days. To cover the anticipated loss of revenue, which funds Ohio’s roads and infrastructure, state lawmakers transferred $725 million from the state’s general fund.

The federal gas tax is 18.3 cents per gallon for gasoline and 24.3 cents per gallon for diesel. Similar to Ohio’s state tax, these federal funds are dedicated to transportation infrastructure through the Highway Trust Fund, established in 1956.

Moreno is not alone in calling for federal relief. Former President Donald Trump indicated in May his intention to suspend the federal gas tax, a move that would require Congressional approval. Several bills have also been introduced in Congress this week concerning a federal gas tax suspension.

Representative Chris Pappas (D-New Hampshire) and Senator Mark Kelly (D-Arizona) introduced legislation to suspend federal taxes on gasoline, diesel, and aviation fuel through September 2027. Separately, Representative Russell Fry (R-South Carolina) proposed an act to declare a national emergency and suspend the gas tax for up to 120 days.

Despite previous calls for suspension during the COVID-19 pandemic, inflation, and the “Great Recession” in 2008 and 2009, the federal gas tax has not been suspended since its inception. Renewed calls for a suspension come seven months into the war in Iran, which has contributed to rising fuel costs globally, despite the U.S. sourcing 60% of its oil domestically and most imports from Canada.

According to Gas Buddy, average gas prices in Ohio peaked on May 1 at $4.906 per gallon, with Columbus seeing an average of $4.958 per gallon on that date.

Ohio is among several states taking action to mitigate high gas prices. The state’s tax break was inspired by Indiana, which has paused its 61-cent state gas tax since early August. Georgia Governor Brian Kemp also suspended his state’s 33-cent gas tax for one month on Monday. At least 13 other states have introduced various measures to address the high cost of fuel.

While Ohio’s state gas tax suspension took effect Sunday, experts anticipate that residents will not immediately experience the full impact, with gas prices expected to decrease steadily over the coming week, barring significant international changes to oil prices.

Senator Bernie Moreno oo Ku Baaqay in Canshuurta Shidaalka ee Federaalka la Joojiyo

COLUMBUS, Ohio – Senator Bernie Moreno oo ka tirsan Xisbiga Jamhuuriga ee Ohio ayaa ku baaqay in si ku meel gaar ah loo joojiyo canshuurta shidaalka ee federaalka, ka dib markii gobolka Ohio uu dhaqan geliyay joojinta canshuurta shidaalka ee gobolka.

Moreno ayaa Khamiistii soo dhigay baraha bulshada isaga oo leh, “Hadda waa waqtigii ay Dowladda Federaalka ahayd ay ku dayan lahayd joojin ku meel gaar ah!” Waxa uu la wadaagay sawir muujinaya codadka sharci-dejiyeyaasha Ohio ee lagu joojiyay canshuurta gobolka muddo 90 maalmood ah.

Laga bilaabo Axaddii, canshuurta Ohio ee ah 38.5 senti halkii gallon oo baasiin ah iyo 47 senti halkii gallon oo naafto ah ayaa hoos loo dhigay ilaa ku dhawaad eber inta ka hartay sanadkan. Sharci-dejiyeyaasha gobolka ayaa $725 milyan ka wareejiyay sanduuqa guud ee gobolka si ay u daboolaan dakhliga canshuurta ee la filayo inuu lumo, kaas oo loo isticmaalo in lagu bixiyo waddooyinka iyo kaabayaasha Ohio.

Canshuurta shidaalka ee federaalka ah waa 18.3 senti halkii gallon oo baasiin ah iyo 24.3 senti halkii gallon oo naafto ah. Sida Ohio oo kale, canshuurta shidaalka ee federaalka ah waxaa loo isticmaalaa in lagu maalgeliyo kaabayaasha gaadiidka, gaar ahaan Sanduuqa Horumarinta Wadooyinka (Highway Trust Fund), kaas oo la aasaasay sanadkii 1956-kii.

Senator Moreno ma aha qofka kaliya ee ku baaqaya in la yareeyo qiimaha shidaalka. Bishii Maajo, Madaxweynihii hore ee Donald Trump ayaa sheegay inuu damacsan yahay inuu joojiyo canshuurta shidaalka ee federaalka, in kastoo taasi ay u baahan tahay sharci ka yimaada Congress-ka. Xildhibaannada Congress-ka ayaa sidoo kale soo jeedinaya joojinta canshuurta, iyadoo dhowr sharci la soo bandhigay toddobaadkan.

Xildhibaan Chris Pappas oo ka tirsan Xisbiga Dimuqraadiga ee New Hampshire iyo Senator Mark Kelly oo ka tirsan Xisbiga Dimuqraadiga ee Arizona ayaa Talaadadii soo bandhigay sharci lagu joojinayo canshuurta shidaalka, naaftada, iyo shidaalka diyaaradaha ilaa Sebtembar 2027. Khamiistii, Xildhibaan Russell Fry oo ka tirsan Xisbiga Jamhuuriga ee South Carolina ayaa soo bandhigay sharci lagu ku dhawaaqayo xaalad degdeg ah oo qaran, kaas oo lagu joojinayo canshuurta shidaalka ilaa 120 maalmood.

Ma aha markii ugu horreysay ee sharci-dejiyeyaashu ay ku baaqaan in la joojiyo canshuurta shidaalka ee federaalka. Xubno badan oo Congress-ka ah ayaa soo jeediyay in la joojiyo canshuurta ka dib faafitaanka COVID-19 iyo sicir bararka, waxaana la soo jeediyay fasax canshuureed sannadihii 2008 iyo 2009 intii lagu jiray “Dhaqaale Xumadii Weyn.” Inkastoo baaqyadaas, canshuurta lama joojin tan iyo markii la aasaasay Sanduuqa Horumarinta Wadooyinka ee 1956-kii.

Baaqyada cusub ee lagu joojinayo canshuurta shidaalka ayaa yimid toddoba bilood ka dib markii uu bilowday dagaalka Iran, halkaas oo dagaallada iyo xiisadaha caalamiga ah ay kor u qaadeen qiimaha shidaalka. Inkastoo Mareykanka uu 60% shidaalkiisa ka helo gudaha dalka, inta badan shidaalka la soo dhoofiyo wuxuu ka yimaadaa Kanada, haddana qiimaha shidaalka waxaa weli saameeya isbeddellada Bariga Dhexe sababtoo ah shidaalku waa suuq caalami ah.

Sida ay sheegtay Gas Buddy, celceliska qiimaha shidaalka ayaa gaaray heerkiisii ugu sarreeyay May 1, isagoo ahaa $4.906 halkii gallon guud ahaan Ohio, iyo $4.958 halkii gallon ee Columbus.

Ohio ma aha gobolka kaliya ee bixinaya gargaar maxalli ah. Sharci-dejiyeyaasha Ohio waxay sheegeen in joojinta canshuurta ay ka soo qaateen Indiana, halkaas oo canshuurta gobolka ee 61 senti ahayd la joojiyay bilowgii bishii Agoosto. Isniintii, Guddoomiyaha Georgia Brian Kemp ayaa joojiyay canshuurta shidaalka ee gobolkiisa oo ah 33 senti muddo hal bil ah. Ugu yaraan 13 gobol oo kale ayaa soo bandhigay tallaabooyin kala duwan oo lagu ilaalinayo qiimaha sare ee shidaalka.

Inkastoo joojinta canshuurta shidaalka ee gobolka Ohio ay dhaqan gashay Axaddii, khubaradu waxay sheegeen in dadka reer Ohio aysan isla markiiba dareemi doonin saameynteeda buuxda. Haddii aysan jirin isbeddello waaweyn oo caalami ah oo ku yimaada qiimaha shidaalka, waxaa la filayaa in qiimaha shidaalka uu si tartiib ah hoos ugu dhaco toddobaadka soo socda, sida ay sheegtay NBC4 Columbus.

COLUMBUS, Ohio – A recent statewide survey highlights the significant financial pressures facing Ohio families who depend on food pantries. The study, conducted by the Ohio Association of Foodbanks, found that many households are forced to balance the cost of food against other essential needs, including utilities and transportation.

Read in Somali ↓

The survey gathered responses from more than 2,600 food pantry visitors across 77 of Ohio’s 88 counties. Joree Novotny, executive director of the Ohio Association of Foodbanks, explained that families are seeking food assistance not just due to food budget shortfalls, but because of overall household budget challenges. Novotny stated, “So a lot are making trade offs between affording utilities or food, affording transportation or food, of course.”

These financial strains are not expected to ease in the near future, with 84% of those surveyed anticipating they will use food pantries as often or more often in the coming year.

The survey also underscored the vital role of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). Less than half of the pantry visitors surveyed participate in SNAP. According to Novotny, the majority of those not enrolled have incomes just above the qualification threshold. Food banks and pantries lack the capacity to fully replace the assistance SNAP provides; their efforts represent about one meal for every nine meals that SNAP offers to families experiencing hunger in Ohio.

Despite these challenges, food pantries are making a positive difference. Approximately four in 10 visitors surveyed reported valuing the ability to eat healthier due to the food they receive. The Ohio Association of Foodbanks emphasized that sustained support for food pantries will require ongoing assistance from state and federal partners, local donors, farmers, and food manufacturers.

Qoysaska Ohio oo Kala Dooranaya Cunto, Biilasha, iyo Gaadiidka, Sahan Cusub oo Shaaca Ka Qaaday

COLUMBUS, Ohio – Qoysaska Ohio ee ku tiirsan xarumaha cunnada ayaa la daalaa dhacaya in ka badan kharashka raashinka, sida lagu sheegay sahan cusub oo gobolka oo dhan ah oo muujinaya cadaadiska dhaqaale ee ballaaran ee haysta qoysaska.

Sahankan oo ay samaysay Ururka Bangiyada Cunnada ee Ohio (Ohio Association of Foodbanks) ayaa lagu wareystay in ka badan 2,600 oo qof oo booqday xarumaha cunnada ee ku yaalla 77 ka mid ah 88-da gobol ee Ohio. Ururku wuxuu ogaaday in qoysas badan ay isku dheelitirayaan kharashka cunnada iyo baahiyaha kale ee daruuriga ah, oo ay ku jiraan biilasha korontada iyo gaadiidka.

Joree Novotny, oo ah agaasimaha fulinta ee Ohio Association of Foodbanks, ayaa sheegtay in qoysasku ay inta badan u yimaadaan xarumaha cunnada si ay gargaar uga helaan, maadaama miisaaniyadooda guud ee qoyska ay hoos u dhacday. Novotny waxay tiri, “Waxay noo yimaadaan si ay gargaar cunto ah uga helaan, ma aha oo kaliya sababtoo ah waxaa laga yaabaa inay la kulmaan yaraanta miisaaniyadda cunnada, laakiin sababtoo ah waxay la kulmaan yaraanta miisaaniyadda guud ee qoyska.” Waxay intaa ku dartay, “Sidaa darteed, qaar badan ayaa iska beddelaya inay bixiyaan biilasha ama cunnada, ama gaadiidka ama cunnada, dabcan.”

Cadaadisyadan dhaqaale lama filayo inay dhawaan yaraadaan. Boqolkiiba 84 dadkii la wareystay ayaa sheegay inay filayaan inay isticmaalaan xarumaha cunnada si la mid ah ama ka badan sanadka soo socda.

Sahanku wuxuu kaloo iftiimiyay doorka Barnaamijka Kaalmada Nafaqada ee Dheeraadka ah (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program – SNAP) ee wax ka qabashada gaajada. In ka yar kala bar dadkii booqday xarumaha cunnada ee la wareystay ayaa ka qaybqaata SNAP. Sida ay sheegtay Novotny, inta badan kuwa aan ka qaybqaadan waxay leeyihiin dakhli ka sarreeya xadka u qalmidda.

Ururka ayaa ka walaacsan in haddii SNAP ay adkaato in la helo, qoysas badan ay u soo jeesan karaan xarumaha cunnada si ay gargaar uga helaan. Novotny waxay sheegtay in bangiyada cunnada iyo xarumaha cunnadu aysan awood u lahayn inay beddelaan kaalmada SNAP ay bixiso. Waxay tiri, “Dadaalladayadu waxay u dhigmaan qiyaastii hal cunto oo ka mid ah sagaal cunto oo SNAP ay siiso qoysaska gaajada la daalaa dhacaya ee Ohio.”

Inkastoo caqabadaha dhaqaale ee haysta qoysaska, sahanku wuxuu ogaaday in xarumaha cunnadu ay saameyn wanaagsan leeyihiin. Qiyaastii afar ka mid ah tobankii booqde ee la wareystay ayaa sheegay inay qiimeeyaan awoodda ay u leeyihiin inay cunto caafimaad leh cunaan sababtoo ah cunnada ay helaan.

Ururka Bangiyada Cunnada ee Ohio ayaa sheegay in ilaalinta taageeradaas ay u baahan doonto kaalmo joogto ah oo ka timaada la-hawlgalayaasha gobolka iyo federaalka, deeq-bixiyeyaasha maxalliga ah, beeralayda, iyo soo-saarayaasha cunnada.

The Columbus Blue Jackets will kick off their 2026-2027 National Hockey League season tonight, September 30, 2026, by hosting the Buffalo Sabres at Nationwide Arena in Columbus.

Read in Somali ↓

The team has undergone notable changes in the offseason, including a significant trade involving three players. The Blue Jackets traded Kirill Marchenko, Miles Wood, and Elvis Merzlikins. Kirill Marchenko had previously indicated he did not wish to remain with the team long-term. Miles Wood had cleared waivers and was not part of the Blue Jackets’ immediate plans, while Elvis Merzlikins is currently injured and may miss the entire year; his contract was moved to Toronto.

In exchange for Kirill Marchenko, the Blue Jackets acquired Matthew Knies, Steven Lorentz, Emil Andre, and a second-round draft pick. General Manager Don Waddell emphasized that the team was seeking prospects and draft picks that could contribute immediately, not just future assets.

In other team news, center Adam Fantilli signed a new six-year contract with the Blue Jackets. His contract negotiations were influenced by recent financial shifts within the NHL, notably after the Philadelphia Flyers offered Leo Carlsson of the Anaheim Ducks an $18 million per year offer sheet, which the Ducks matched. Despite the complex negotiations, Fantilli consistently expressed his desire to remain a Blue Jacket.

Former Blue Jackets radio voice Bob McElligott, now host of the podcast Clear Breakaway, discussed these developments with WOSU’s Stu Osborne, highlighting the impact of these moves as the team aims for a strong start to the season.

Blue Jackets oo Xilli Ciyaareedka Furaya Isbeddel Weyn iyo Heshiiska Fantilli

Kooxda Columbus Blue Jackets ayaa caawa, oo ku beegan Sebtembar 30, 2026, furaysa xilli ciyaareedkeeda cusub ee National Hockey League (NHL), iyagoo garoonkooda Nationwide Arena ee magaalada Columbus ku martigelinaya kooxda Buffalo Sabres.

Ka hor inta uusan xilli ciyaareedku bilaaban, kooxdu waxay samaysay isbeddello muhiim ah oo dhanka ciyaartoyda ah. Waxaa ka mid ah in Blue Jackets ay kala iibsatay saddex ciyaartoy oo kala ah Kirill Marchenko, Miles Wood, iyo Elvis Merzlikins. Kirill Marchenko ayaa hore u sheegay inuusan doonayn inuu kooxda la sii joogo muddo dheer.

Sidoo kale, Miles Wood wuxuu ka gudbay shuruudaha wareejinta mana ku jirin qorshaha degdegga ah ee Blue Jackets. Dhanka kale, Elvis Merzlikins wuu dhaawacmay waxaana laga yaabaa inuusan ciyaarin sanadka oo dhan; heshiiskiisa lacageed waxaa loo wareejiyay kooxda Toronto.

Beddelka Kirill Marchenko, Blue Jackets waxay heshay Matthew Knies, Steven Lorentz, Emil Andre, iyo xulasho wareegga labaad ee ciyaartoyda. Maamulaha guud ee kooxda, Don Waddell, ayaa si cad u sheegay in kooxdu ay raadinayso ciyaartoy mustaqbal leh iyo kuwo hadda wax ka qaban kara, ee aysan doonayn oo kaliya hanti mustaqbal.
