Good morning, Lancaster. Here's your local news at a glance for Friday, the 31st of October.
ENVIRONMENT NEWS
- ➤ OSU Extension advises Lancaster residents to compost pumpkins instead of throwing them in landfills because the EPA shows that over one billion pumpkins are tossed away each year — this helps reduce harmful greenhouse gases and improves soil quality. Local gardeners can mix decaying pumpkins with leaves and grass clippings while farmers may accept them to feed livestock with proper permission. Lancaster Eagle-Gazette
GOVERNMENT NEWS
- ➤ If the shutdown continues past Halloween, Ohio’s SNAP funds will run out on November 1 and potentially disrupt benefits for 1.45 million recipients. State officials plan to spend $25 million on food aid—counties report average monthly benefits between $156 and $181. Lancaster Eagle-Gazette
HEALTH NEWS
- ➤ Teva Pharmaceuticals USA voluntarily recalled over 580,000 bottles of prazosin hydrochloride due to a nitrosamine impurity that may raise cancer risk; the FDA classified the issue as a Class II risk.
