Findlay City Council heard details about the Findlay City School’s construction of a fiber loop network.  The school has offered to lease the city portions of the fiber for $85,000.  The city would need to spend $350,000 to extend the network to all of its facilities and for needed equipment.  Findlay officials are considering joining the project because of increased data use, and phone bills that are expected to soar during the next few years.  A vote on the fiber loop could come at the next council meeting on March 1.

Owens Community College recently received official notice from the State of Ohio Board of Nursing (OBN) that the nursing programs have been granted full approval for a period of five years.  A nursing program cannot operate without state approval, while national accreditation makes it easier for students to transfer to different continuing education programs.  The Owens nursing program lost its national accreditation in 2009, but regained it in 2013.
 

Two Bowling Green South Main Street businesses closed their doors earlier this week with little advance notice.  Cafe Havana and Falcon Food Mart, which are located in the same building, are both shuttered.  The reason for the closing is the failure of the business operators and building owners to reach an agreement on a new lease.  The food mart had been open six years and the Mediterranean restaurant four years.

A Fostoria woman is trying to turn a family tragedy into a positive impact for her community… Andrea Cress lost her sister one year ago after a standoff with police ended with the sister taking her own life.  During the negotiations, the police called for a “snake camera” that would allow them to see into the room the sister was in from under the door.  However, the closest camera was in Columbus…The camera could have given police a tactical advantage.  Cress has started a Go Fund Me campaign in her sister’s memory, to purchase an under door camera for the Fostoria Police department.  The camera costs 14 thousand dollars, and so far 5 thousand has been raised.
