• These central Ohio football players had top second-round playoff games (dispatch.com) — New Albany sophomore Kingston Torres-Lofton rushed for two touchdowns as the Eagles beat Canal Winchester 28-20 to reach the regional semifinals. His 73 yards helped fuel a 297-yard rushing night, earning him a spot among central Ohio's standout playoff performers. Next comes unbeaten Watterson on Nov. 13 at Ohio Dominican. 
• Critics say Ohio EPA ‘stretching the rules' in permitting data-center power plants less efficient and more polluting than ‘best available technology' (thereportingproject.org) — New Albany residents' concerns about data-center power plants are part of a wider dispute over how Ohio applies pollution-control rules. Critics question exemptions for individual engines and turbines at a proposed Millersport facility, while Ohio EPA says its approach meets legal requirements.
