Central Ohio Residents Help in White House Christmas Decorations

The White House’s “Home is Where the Heart Is” holiday theme is making its way to central Ohio in a special way this year.

Every year, volunteers from across the United States are selected to help decorate the White House for the holiday season. This year, one of those volunteers was Kelli Johnson, the wife of Ohio Representative Mark Johnson (R-Chillicothe).

Kelli applied online in August and was chosen to join the holiday décor team in Washington, D.C. She spent two days assisting with festive preparations that bring the historic home to life each season.

“We helped with all of the lighting,” Johnson said. “All the Christmas trees are real, and the scent throughout the White House is incredible because of that. Being in D.C. is always exciting, but being inside the White House and contributing to the holiday traditions was truly rewarding.”

Her team worked on decorating the iconic Red Room, adding a personal touch from Ohio to one of the nation’s most cherished holiday displays.

Maurice Clarett Appointed to Franklin County Parks and Recreation Board

Maurice Clarett, former Ohio State University (OSU) standout running back and now respected mentor, continues to make a positive impact in Columbus, Ohio. On December 2, the Franklin County Commissioners officially appointed Clarett to the Franklin County Parks and Recreation Board of Trustees.

The board, responsible for overseeing the county-owned Clippers Triple-A baseball team, is composed of seven volunteers serving three-year terms. Clarett expressed his gratitude on social media, stating, “Thank you to the Franklin County Board Of Commissioners for appointing me to the Franklin County Parks and Recreation Board. It’s an honor to serve on the board.”

Clarett made a name for himself as a freshman at OSU in 2002, helping lead the Buckeyes to a national championship. Although his career faced challenges, including suspensions and legal issues, Clarett has turned his life around. Since his release, he has become a motivational speaker and mentor to student-athletes nationwide.

About a year ago, OSU football coach Ryan Day welcomed Clarett back to the program, where he now provides guidance and mentorship to current Buckeyes players, inspiring the next generation of athletes.

Clarett’s appointment to the Parks and Recreation Board highlights his continued dedication to serving the Columbus community and supporting local sports initiatives.

Columbus Man Killed in Multi-Vehicle Crash on Virginia Highway

A man from Columbus has died following a multi-vehicle collision on Interstate 77 in Virginia over the weekend.

According to the Virginia State Police, the Columbus resident was identified as the driver who lost his life in a crash involving a pickup truck, a tractor-trailer, and a Tesla.

Troopers arrived at the scene at 5:07 a.m., finding multiple vehicles damaged near the State Route 683 overpass. Initial findings indicate that a pickup truck traveling in the left lane struck the rear of a tractor-trailer before veering into the median.

Moments later, a 2020 Tesla attempting to shift from the left lane to the right reportedly hit a second tractor-trailer, then swerved back into the left lane and collided with the first tractor-trailer. The Tesla’s driver, 26-year-old Dylan Hammond of Columbus, was wearing a seatbelt and had to be removed from the vehicle by the Hillsville Fire Department. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Authorities report that icy roads and winter weather conditions may have contributed to the deadly crash.

The interstate remained closed for several hours as emergency crews worked to clear the wreckage. Other drivers involved sustained non-life-threatening injuries and were transported to nearby hospitals.

Ace Hardware Store Heavily Damaged by Fire at Dublin Shopping Plaza

The Washington Township Fire Department is investigating a fire that caused significant damage to a hardware store at a busy shopping plaza in Dublin, Ohio.

The incident occurred shortly after 6 p.m. on Dec. 2 at the Dublin Plaza located at 299 W. Bridge St., according to Washington Township Fire Chief John Donahue. The fire was first reported when an alarm activated at a nearby business. Upon arrival, firefighters discovered an active fire inside the E&H Ace Hardware store.

According to Chief Donahue, crews found flames burning through the store’s mansard roof near Frantz Road. Due to the intensity of the fire, the amount of damage, and the presence of propane tanks and other combustible materials inside the hardware store, the blaze was elevated to a second-alarm fire.

Firefighters evacuated several stores throughout the plaza as they worked to contain the fire. Dublin Plaza is home to more than a dozen businesses, including a nail salon, Subway, Kroger, a Taekwondo studio, a pizza restaurant, a clinic, and a gourmet chocolate shop. Power was temporarily shut off to the area during the emergency response.

Although the fire was eventually brought under control, officials have not confirmed how long full extinguishment took. Damage estimates are still pending, but the hardware store is expected to remain closed through Dec. 3.

The interior and roof of the store suffered heavy destruction. Fire crews from the Columbus Division of Fire and the Norwich Township Fire Department assisted Washington Township firefighters at the scene.

Could Rep Ilhan Omar Be Deported? Inside the Allegations About Her Marriage and Citizenship

President Donald Trump has reignited controversy surrounding Rep. Ilhan Omar, once again questioning the Minnesota congresswoman’s path to U.S. citizenship. Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One, Trump repeated allegations that Omar entered the United States through a fraudulent marriage arrangement and insisted she should be removed from the country if the claims are true.

Trump also criticized the Somali community in Minnesota, announcing on social media that he plans to end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Somali nationals in the state. As Democratic leaders, including Omar, defend Minnesota’s Somali population, online rumors resurfaced claiming that Omar could face deportation through possible revocation of her citizenship.

Omar, who arrived in the United States in 1995 and later became a naturalized citizen, has long dismissed accusations that she used a false identity to obtain asylum. The allegations claim she entered the U.S. under a family name that was not her own, a story first circulated by an online blog. The blog alleged that members of Omar’s biological family applied for asylum under different surnames and that some were relocated to the United Kingdom.

The rumors also rehashed claims involving Omar’s past marriage to Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, alleging he was her biological brother — a claim Omar strongly denies.

According to immigration law, a naturalized citizen like Omar cannot be deported unless the government proves in court that she intentionally misrepresented critical information during the citizenship process. Omar has previously responded to online speculation, stating that she is unbothered by such rumors and confident in her legal status.

Columbus Man Arrested After Allegedly Sexually Assaulting a Real Estate Agent

A man has been taken into custody after allegedly assaulting a woman during a walkthrough of vacant apartments on the east side of Downtown Columbus.

According to a criminal complaint, police responded on Nov. 20 to an apartment building on South 18th Street in the Olde Towne East neighborhood. Officers spoke with a woman who explained that she had been assisting a man who came in asking to view available units.

After showing him a first-floor apartment and then a second-floor unit, the woman reported that the man began behaving inappropriately and making unsolicited comments toward her. She told police that he attempted physical contact, and when she tried to distance herself, he escalated his actions.

The woman said she attempted to leave the unit, but the man blocked the door and restrained her before briefly releasing her. As she walked toward the office downstairs, he continued to follow her until eventually leaving the property. The woman immediately reported the incident to her supervisor.

Police later arrested Ali Hasan Alali, 32, who now faces charges of abduction and gross sexual imposition, both felonies. A Franklin County Municipal Court judge set his bond at $150,000, with a preliminary hearing scheduled for December 4.
