In honor of the life and service of U.S. Air Force Senior Airman Brian Kody Johnson, Governor Mike DeWine has ordered the flags of the United States and the state of Ohio to be flown at half-staff upon all public buildings and grounds throughout Licking County, the Ohio Statehouse, the Vern Riffe Center and the Rhodes State Office Tower from sunrise to sunset on the day of his funeral, Saturday, Dec. 16, 2023.

Children and employees at the Kids Education and Recreation childcare center in Granville are enjoying access to a more reliable source of drinking water now that the facility has connected to the village’s public water system. The connection was made possible by a $98,000 grant from Ohio EPA’s H2Ohio funding.
