Four juveniles — two from Ottawa County and two from Huron County — will go before a judge in each of their respective home counties for disposition, or sentencing, hearings for their role in a series of arson fires in Wood County.  The foursome appeared before Judge David Woessner Wednesday for their adjudication hearings, during which they admitted to involvement the between March 22 and 27.  They were each originally charged with arson, aggravated arson, breaking and entering, and possession of criminal tools.

The Village of Arcadia held a second public hearing to allow residents to provide input on how to improve the village.  Arcadia is applying for a Neighborhood Revitalization Fund grant that could give the village $500,000.  Potential projects include upgrading the village park, improving street lighting on Main Street, replacing sidewalks, repaving village streets and adding trees.  Village officials will hold one final session with residents before the mid-June deadline for submitting the grant application.
 

The Wood County Health District received more than $800,000 in grant money to add an expansion.  The addition will be added on to the Health and Wellness side of the building.  The new area will be used to provide more option for affordable dental care.  The health district hopes to have construction done and offer dental services in the next few years.
