Good morning, Lancaster.

Micole Ruff, owner of Castaways, said the restaurant—located at 1500 N.

High St.—has served local diners since Fred Eaton opened it in 1951.

Ohio University Lancaster will launch a one-year Semiconductor Technician Certificate program this fall to teach students chip manufacturing skills and how to use modern equipment.

The program can be paired with existing automation or mechatronics certificates to boost job opportunities in local advanced manufacturing.

Secretary of State Frank LaRose certified last month's primary races, noting eleven led to automatic recounts plus two ended in ties, with the Lancaster City Council Ward 5 race decided by one vote and ties occurring on a Licking County village income tax increase and the Village of Rushsylvania current expense levy in Logan County.

Lancaster senior pitcher Ashlin Mower did not allow a hit through eight innings and struck out 18 batters, but the Lady Gales lost 2-0 in a nine-inning state semifinal against Lebanon on June 7 at Firestone Stadium—errors and runners left on base cost the team dearly—ending their historic state tournament run.
