1. Look And Learn At The Ross Art Museum (1808delaware.com) — Ohio Wesleyan's Ross Art Museum in Delaware is launching three new exhibits on October 13 that explore communication, surveillance, and democracy, with free admission and convenient hours for local visitors. You can also attend a free opening reception on October 15 and an artist talk on October 22, making it easy to experience nationally recognized artwork without leaving Delaware.
2. Police use sponge round after armed man's wild Delaware traffic stop (abc6onyourside.com) — Police in Delaware used a less-lethal sponge round on a 63-year-old driver who flagged down an officer, ran a red light on purpose, and then told officers he was armed during a gas station stop. Officers say the man acted irrationally, refused to cooperate, tried to leave, and now faces multiple traffic charges, but no injuries were reported.
3. Truck driver convicted in triple-fatal crash (delgazette.com) — A Columbus truck driver has been convicted in Delaware County Common Pleas Court for a nine-vehicle crash on I-71 that killed three people and injured several others. He now faces multiple felony sentencing in October, while separate wrongful death and injury lawsuits proceed in Delaware County courts, underscoring the long legal aftermath of the tragedy for central Ohio families.
4. Hazing allegations involving girls high school soccer team, no criminal charges (abc6onyourside.com) — Olentangy Orange High School, serving parts of Delaware County, is facing hazing allegations involving its girls soccer team, prompting a joint investigation by the district and the Delaware County Sheriff's Office. While no criminal charges will be filed due to insufficient evidence, school leaders say they're following conduct procedures, communicating with affected families, and emphasizing that hazing is not tolerated.
5. Link shows champion turkey (delgazette.com) — A Buckeye Valley East fourth grader from Delaware County made her first year showing animals count by winning grand champion in the Champion Meat Turkey Show at the Delaware County Fair. After losing several birds to raccoons, she raised a 38‑pound turkey judges praised for cleanliness and structure, and she's already eager to return next year.
