Today - as a little girl, Taylor Davis learned the joy of giving back from her grandmothers. Every year, they would take her and her sister to a department store, where each girl would pick out a toy to donate to a child in need. This year, she’s purchased over 300 toys. The toys will be given away during the Project One / ARC Empowerment Center’s “Deck the Halls with Children’s Laughter” toy drive.

Also, Thayer Ridge Park is one of several parks, river accesses and trails in which Santa Claus’ nine reindeer, and corresponding QR codes, can be found for Reindeer in the Park — a challenge run by the Knox County Park District to encourage people to shop local and donate to Knox County Food for the Hungry. In addition to encouraging local shopping and donations, Reindeer in the Parks is a community education tool.

Today - Stunning, shocking, indescribable, all of those words played out on Saturday in Ann Arbor, Michigan. The Wolverines and coach Jim Harbaugh finally administered that day of reckoning that was surely due, but few believed it would happen this year.

Also, it was pretty hard to miss the season's first snowfall, and the chilly temperatures that came with it. For some that scenario was met with disgust. For others, like the folks at Snow Trails, it was a welcome sight.

Today -Ever wonder what a group of sportswriters sounds like during an Ohio State-Michigan game? Well, we're going to bring you as close to that experience as possible on Saturday at Idea Works with a Facebook livestream during The Game from our West Fourth Street office in downtown Mansfield.

Next, Thanksgiving is a time for family gatherings and festivities, and we know that many of you may be traveling over the next few days to see loved ones during the holiday weekend. But as motorists travel from one destination to another, traffic increases and the potential for unforeseen crashes arises. That’s why through the 28th, the Mansfield Division of Police will be participating in High Visibility Traffic Enforcement. This traffic enforcement will target high crash areas throughout the city and focus on OVI, distracted aggressive driving, seatbelt violations, a major cause of injury crashes.
