At 5 p.m. on June 23, Molyet Village Community Center hosts a $15 plant control class on treating nonnative species, run by Ohio Woodland Stewards Program and Richland Soil and Water Conservation District + an 8 p.m. removal lets volunteers win one of three $100 gift cards.

High summer heat in Mansfield increases car breakdown risks, and experts advise drivers to check tire pressure, fluid levels, and battery charge (using proper tools) to avoid emergencies.

Following maintenance tips and parking in shade can help keep vehicles running smoothly.
