Former Ranco Site in Plain City Transforms into 66-Acre Community Park

A former industrial site in Plain City is set to be transformed into a sprawling 66-acre recreational park after decades of environmental cleanup. The site, previously home to Ranco, a manufacturer of thermostat, vehicle, and HVAC components for over 50 years, closed in 2004.

Village officials confirmed that the redevelopment is a result of collaboration between Ranco, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and the Ohio EPA, which worked together to decontaminate the property and ensure it is safe for public use.

The upcoming park will feature athletic fields, walking trails, and dedicated spaces for festivals, outdoor events, and community gatherings. Local leaders emphasized that the master plan for the park will be shaped by thorough research and input from residents to best meet community needs.

This initiative marks a significant step in revitalizing Plain City, turning a former industrial landmark into a vibrant space for recreation and community engagement.

Black Owned Businesses Drive Ohio’s Economic Growth, New Report Reveals

Nearly 130,000 workers in Ohio are employed by Black-owned businesses, creating a substantial economic impact across the state, according to a recent report. The findings were highlighted during the ‘State of Ohio Black Business’ event held on Wednesday.

The report emphasized two major points: Black-owned businesses are playing a significant role in Ohio’s economic growth, and there is untapped potential for expansion beyond the state’s major cities.

Eric Kearney of the Ohio Chamber of Commerce noted, “Many people assume that Black-owned businesses are concentrated only in metropolitan areas like Columbus, Cleveland, or Cincinnati. However, the study demonstrates growth opportunities across Ohio, with thriving pockets of Black-owned enterprises statewide.”

Ohio is home to three of the nation’s top 10 largest Black-owned businesses. Collectively, these companies, along with hundreds more in the state, generate nearly $12 billion annually, as reported by the Ohio Chamber of Commerce.

Stephen L. Hightower, President and CEO of Hightower’s Petroleum Co., shared his perspective on business growth: “Success is possible when you start from zero and learn to scale, partner, and network effectively. Scalability is crucial to remain competitive.”

The report also revealed that Black-owned businesses contribute over $500 million in state taxes each year. This impact is inspiring for young entrepreneurs seeking guidance and mentorship in Ohio’s business community.

The event fostered collaboration among business owners to address challenges and explore opportunities. Organizers expressed their commitment to making the ‘State of Ohio Black Business’ an annual event to continue promoting growth and networking.

Columbus Community Mourns Death of 3-Year-Old Boy in Accidental Shooting on Southeast Side

Columbus , Ohio – Heartbreak continues to ripple through the community after the tragic death of a 3-year-old boy who police say accidentally shot himself on the city’s southeast side.

The incident occurred in the 6600 block of Kodiak Drive, where the child, identified as Cartier Smith, was rushed to the hospital but later pronounced dead.

Community leaders expressed grief and disbelief. “They were devastated and questioning why this happened to such a young child,” said Arnetta Davis, who works with families in Canal Winchester coping with tragedy.

Columbus Mayor Andrew Ginther also shared his sorrow, saying, “I am not just the mayor, I am a dad. Anytime we lose a child in this community, it really hits home. It reminds us we must double down on efforts to improve safety.”

Police have charged Sean Perrin, 31, with having a weapon under disability, accusing him of bringing the firearm into the apartment. The boy’s mother, Carley Dials, faces an involuntary manslaughter charge. Prosecutors say she placed the gun between her mattress and the wall after finding it on the floor, before falling back asleep. The child later found the firearm.

The neighborhood has faced tragedy before. In 2021, three people — Londynn Wall-Neal, 6; her brother Demetrius, 9; and Charles Wade, 22 — were fatally shot on the same block. No arrests have been made in that case.

“This community is heartbroken. People were still trying to heal from the last tragedy, and now we are facing another loss of a child,” Davis said.

The Columbus Division of Police continues to investigate the incident.

French Mayors Raise Palestinian Flags Despite Government Warnings Ahead of UN Recognition

As France prepares to recognize a Palestinian state at the UN General Assembly, some French mayors have chosen to fly Palestinian flags on town halls, despite warnings from the Interior Ministry. The move has been gaining momentum amid the nearly two-year war in Gaza, which has heightened public attention on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

In Malakoff, a Paris suburb, Mayor Jacqueline Belhomme refused to remove the Palestinian flag despite orders to do so, stating it is a symbolic gesture of solidarity similar to the Ukrainian flag previously displayed. In southwestern France, the communist mayor of Mauléon-Licharre, Louis Labadot, briefly raised the flag before removing it after the case was referred to an administrative court, emphasizing the flag represents freedom of thought.

Other mayors across the country, including Mathieu Hanotin of Saint-Denis and Johanna Rolland of Nantes, have announced plans to display the Palestinian flag in solidarity. Meanwhile, Paris illuminated the Eiffel Tower with both Palestinian and Israeli flags separated by a dove symbolizing peace.

The Interior Ministry has instructed local authorities to oppose such displays, citing the principle of neutrality in public service and the risk of importing international conflicts onto French soil. Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau stated that town halls should only display the French national flag.

Political debates continue as some officials, like Ian Brossat of the French Communist Party, criticize the minister for contradicting France’s diplomatic position. Others, like Saint-Ouen’s mayor Karim Bouamrane, advocate displaying both Israeli and Palestinian flags as a gesture of peace and unity.

This growing movement illustrates the tension between local government autonomy, public diplomacy, and the symbolic gestures surrounding the Palestinian issue in France.
