Good morning, Lancaster.

The Ohio Department of Natural Resources announced that during a free fishing weekend on June 14-15, Ohioans 16 and older will fish without a license on Lake Erie and all public waters statewide — all other fishing rules, including size and bag limits, will still apply.

Ohio lawmakers have drafted House Bill 185 to require clear watermarks on AI-manipulated content and impose civil fines and felony charges for unauthorized use of likeness—measures aimed at curbing misinformation and malicious deepfakes.

Pfc. Bailey Senften from Lancaster led a workshop titled Paws and Procedures using a canine medical simulator to demonstrate Army veterinary care at the 96th Louisiana National FFA Convention held June 2 to 3 at the Randolph Riverfront Center.

The event attracted agriculture and science students and showed how skills learned at Fort Johnson can open doors to military and civilian veterinary opportunities — a clear example of hands-on military outreach.
