• ‘Kingdom Outposts' Gifted to Anglicans (virtueonline.org) — Ashland readers may be interested that Ashland Emmanuel Church left the United Methodist Church and merged with St. Augustine’s Ashland Mission to form Emmanuel Anglican Church in a historic 1914 building. The story places this change within a wider trend of Anglican congregations nationwide receiving gifted or low-cost church properties, which has spurred new ministries and neighborhood outreach. 
• Northeast Ohio sees multiple cases of ‘explosive diarrhea parasite': What you need to know (wkyc.com) — Ashland County has reported one confirmed case of cyclosporiasis as part of a broader rise across Northeast Ohio, where 80 cases have been logged statewide. Local readers should know this parasite spreads through contaminated food or water and can cause prolonged, sometimes explosive diarrhea, but is treatable with antibiotics under medical care.
