COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) -- Ohio State faculty have concerns about perceived inequity with the university's new state-mandated intellectual diversity center.

"There's definitely a lack of transparency and a sense of nepotism, a sense of being supported from the outside," Pranav Jani, associate English professor and past president of OSU's faculty advocacy group, said.

The Salmon P. Chase Center for Civics, Culture and Society opened its doors this fall. The center was established under a 2023 Republican-backed law that required five public universities to establish intellectual diversity centers to combat "groupthink." See previous coverage of the Chase Center in the video player above.

Ohio University union pushes for higher faculty pay

Chase Center classes and lectures place an emphasis on intellectual diversity and a "reflective patriotism for America."

“We have the establishment of a center which seems to be very devoted to specific topics and specific text and a specific history and an idea of civics, that, to me, when I put it together with the idea of intellectual diversity, there seems to be a contradiction there,” associate English professor Jill Galvan said.

Jani said he and other faculty have questions about the Chase Center's hiring practices, course approval and budget. Especially after a new law banned DEI and endorsing "controversial beliefs or policies" on college campuses, Jani said it felt like the Chase Center was getting preferential treatment because it is supported by the state.

Ohio allocated $10 million to support the Chase Center, which also receives some funding from Ohio State. From July to September 2025, the center spent $1.5 million on salaries, student aid and supplies. The center employs 26 staff members, including 19 faculty, according to online records. The Chase Center's professors, associate professors and assistant professors have an average salary of $113,269.55.

Jani said he has been with the university for 22 years and only recently hit the $100,000 salary mark. He said there are many reasons for salary adjustment, and Jani said he was in favor of paying professors higher salaries, but it contributed to a feeling of inequality. He said faculty felt Chase Center hires and courses benefited from a simpler approval process than typical university practices.

OSU chief spokesperson Christopher Booker said Chase Center followed a "similar process for course approval as other colleges at Ohio State." Booker said the initial courses, which are underway this semester, began the approval process in January and were available for enrollment in spring 2025. In the spring semester, the center will offer 10 courses.

"Creating a new, rigorous and relevant set of courses takes time and includes university review," Booker said. "These faculty members come from diverse academic disciplines, which reflects part of the Chase Center’s mission."

Distillery to close Columbus eatery due to 'economic challenges'

For other centers, departments and colleges, budgets are often tied to the number of enrolled students. Jani said faculty sometimes informally calls it a "butts in seats" policy, where classes with too few enrolled students may be canceled because they won't generate a large enough budget for the college.

There are currently three Chase Center courses listed in university course enrollment data for fall 2025. Although the courses had a combined capacity of 54 students, university enrollment numbers show only 28 students are enrolled across all three classes combined.

Jani said the Chase Center has the funding to offer courses regardless of enrollment. He said that can be particularly challenging when professors perceive overlap between Chase Center courses and existing classes offered elsewhere on campus.

For example, the Chase Center will offer "American Religion(s): Fractures and Foundations" in the spring, which will examine the role of religion on American culture and civic life. At the same time, the Center for the Study of Religion will offer "Religion and American Culture," which also examines the intersection of religion and culture in U.S. history.

Although the center is nonpartisan, faculty said the Chase Center appears to have a specific political leaning that is not subject to the same scrutiny as other departments.

"Where are discussions about taxpayer dollars and where the money is going when it comes to the Chase Center? Where are the questions about merit versus government handouts when it comes to the Chase Center?" Jani asked. "I think those are the kinds of questions we should either ask them of everyone, or we should admit there's a political agenda that's being supported."

SpaceX Bandwagon-4 Mission Places CEVROSAT-1 in Orbit with Rideshare Payloads

SpaceX launched its Bandwagon-4 rideshare mission on November 2 at 0509 UTC from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, deploying eighteen satellites into a mid-inclination low Earth orbit. The flight is part of SpaceX’s dedicated mid-inclination rideshare program, complementing the Transporter series that serves sun-synchronous orbit customers. All spacecraft were successfully released from the Falcon 9 upper stage approximately seventy-five minutes after liftoff.

The manifest included CEVROSAT-1, an amateur radio satellite built by CEVRO University in the Czech Republic in partnership with Mendel University in Brno and Brno University of Technology. The 48-kilogram microsatellite carries a 9k6 G3RUH GFSK digipeater and AX.25 telemetry on 436.025 MHz, coordinated through the IARU. First signals were received shortly after deployment, with amateur operators reporting telemetry and digipeated packets and uploading frames to the SatNOGS network. The satellite supports student research, hands-on engineering education, and amateur radio experimentation, including an Earth-imaging payload and an optical reflector system for laser technology trials.

The largest spacecraft on the mission was a synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imaging satellite for South Korea’s Project 425 defense reconnaissance program. This continues South Korea’s partnership with SpaceX to deploy a constellation of independent surveillance satellites, following earlier launches on previous Bandwagon missions. The spacecraft is expected to provide high-resolution radar imagery to support national security and intelligence activities.

[Credit: SatNOGS]Commercial Earth-observation company Iceye launched three additional SAR satellites for the Emirati firm Space42, expanding the “Foresight Constellation” for regional surveillance and environmental monitoring. Weather intelligence provider Tomorrow.io also flew two spacecraft to enhance its global atmospheric sensing network, supporting improved forecasting and climate-modeling applications.

Commercial space station developer Vast deployed its Haven-Demo spacecraft, a 500-kilogram technology demonstrator designed to validate systems for the upcoming Haven-1 private station. The satellite will test avionics, communications, propulsion, and power systems in orbit. In addition, Starcloud launched Starcloud-1, a technology demonstration spacecraft billed as the first on-orbit artificial-intelligence compute node, featuring an advanced Nvidia processor intended to run large language models in space.

The Bandwagon-4 mission demonstrates the increasing diversity of spacecraft utilizing commercial rideshare launches, spanning defense, scientific, commercial, and amateur radio missions. With CEVROSAT-1 now active on orbit, radio amateurs are encouraged to monitor 436.025 MHz and submit reception reports as commissioning continues.

CatSat to Open Microwave Linear Transponder Access for Amateur Radio Community

The CatSat team has announced that preparations are underway to open public operation of the spacecraft’s linear transponder, offering the amateur-radio community a new microwave-band satellite resource. CatSat, a 6U CubeSat developed and flown by students, faculty, and staff at the University of Arizona in partnership with FreeFall Aerospace and Rincon Research, has been on orbit since July 2024 and is now entering the phase of its mission focused on community engagement and technology demonstration.

CatSat was launched aboard a Firefly Aerospace Alpha rocket from Vandenberg Space Force Base as part of NASA’s CubeSat Launch Initiative. Measuring roughly the size of a family-size cereal box, the spacecraft carries a suite of experimental payloads, including a novel inflatable antenna capable of enabling large-aperture communications from a small satellite platform. In addition to ionospheric monitoring via high-frequency (HF) radio measurements and imaging of the Earth, CatSat includes a linear transponder for amateur radio, extending the University of Arizona’s long legacy in space science down to hands-on student involvement.

The satellite orbits Earth in a nearly sun-synchronous polar orbit, circling the globe approximately every 90 minutes. As part of its student-driven mission, CatSat is demonstrating how cutting-edge antenna systems and commercial-off-the-shelf radio hardware can support meaningful research and amateur communications from a compact form factor. The mission is funded by the University of Arizona Office of the Vice President for Research and the Arizona Space Institute, with additional support from industry partners.

CatSat team members assemble and inspect the student-built spacecraft ahead of its July 2024 launch. [Credit: The University of Arizona]When the linear transponder is active, CatSat listens on 5.663 GHz (uplink) and transmits on 10.47 GHz (downlink), providing approximately 200 kHz of bandwidth. Patch antennas on the spacecraft’s −Y face offer roughly 60-degree beam coverage, and the attitude-control system can point the antenna footprint at ground stations for up to 10 minutes per pass. Power considerations limit each activation to about 15 minutes, a balance that allows the spacecraft to support both mission science and amateur communications.

Early on-orbit demonstrations used a 1-meter C-band uplink dish and a 6.1-meter X-band downlink dish to confirm transponder functionality, successfully relaying Morse code. The CatSat team is now constructing a more accessible ground station using 1-meter-class commercial antennas to show that amateur access is practical with reasonably sized equipment. Operators will be able to monitor schedule updates — informally known as the “five and dime” plan — through the CatSat mission website.

Commissioning passes targeting the CatSat ground stations in Tucson took place on October 29 and November 2, with one final activation scheduled for November 9 at approximately 7:50 PM MST (UTC-7) — just hours after this bulletin’s publication. As testing continues, dates may shift as the team evaluates performance and power-budget constraints. Operators can follow activation plans and future opportunities at https://catsat.arizona.edu.

Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) will commemorate the 25th anniversary of continuous human presence aboard the International Space Station with a special worldwide Slow-Scan Television (SSTV) event in mid-November. The ISS has been continuously inhabited since November 2, 2000, marking a major milestone in human spaceflight and international cooperation. ARISS, the first educational payload on the station, continues to play a key role in inspiring students, supporting STEM engagement, and connecting the global amateur radio community with astronauts in orbit.

The Series 30 SSTV event, titled “ISS at 25 and Scouts!” will feature 12 SSTV images celebrating the station’s 25-year milestone and Scouting. Transmissions are scheduled to begin Wednesday, November 12 around 1730 UTC and continue through Thursday, November 20 (time TBD). Downlink will occur on 145.800 MHz FM using the PD120 mode, following the standard ARISS pattern of approximately two minutes of transmission followed by two minutes off. A planned pause in images will occur to support an ARISS school contact with Azerbaijan on November 16 at 1450 UTC.

Radio amateurs and listeners worldwide are encouraged to participate, as ISS SSTV events are accessible to stations with a broad range of equipment. Many operators successfully receive images using only a handheld VHF radio and a phone-based decoding app, while more advanced satellite stations can produce particularly clean results. SSTV events continue to be a popular entry point for newcomers interested in amateur space communication.

The next ISS SSTV event celebrating 25 years of the ISS will occur November 12–20, 2025. [Credit: ARISS]Participants may upload their best received image to the ARISS SSTV portal at https://ariss-usa.org/ARISS_SSTV/ and then request a commemorative event certificate. Submitted images must be single, unedited SSTV frames in GIF, JPG, or PNG format, limited to 800×800 pixels and 800 kB. Once the image is uploaded, operators will be prompted to request their personalized certificate, and because submissions are only accepted for a short time after the conclusion of the event, prompt participation is encouraged.

In keeping with past ARISS activities, operators may also request a traditional ARISS QSL card to confirm SSTV reception. QSL requests must be mailed to the appropriate regional bureau with a self-addressed stamped envelope or sufficient return postage. Details and mailing addresses for each world region are available at https://www.ariss.org/qsl-cards.html, and operators should include date, time, frequency, and mode with their report.

Additional updates and operating details will be posted on www.ariss.org and ARISS social media channels as the event approaches. AMSAT congratulates ARISS and the ISS program on 25 years of continuous human presence aboard the station and encourages radio amateurs everywhere to join in this special commemorative SSTV celebration honoring the ISS legacy and the role of amateur radio in space education.

AI Fix from Earth Restores James Webb Telescope Clarity, No Astronauts Needed

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has received a remarkable upgrade — not from astronauts or hardware, but from artificial intelligence. Researchers at the University of Sydney developed a software-based solution that corrected subtle image blurring in one of JWST’s most sensitive instruments, restoring the telescope’s precision without the need for any on-orbit servicing mission.

The issue affected JWST’s Aperture Masking Interferometer (AMI), a specialized instrument designed to resolve extremely fine features when observing stars and exoplanets. Soon after operations began, scientists noticed faint distortions caused by tiny electronic effects within the infrared detector. Rather than planning a complex repair mission, similar to how astronauts serviced the Hubble Space Telescope decades ago, the team pursued a software-only approach.

Two PhD researchers, Louis Desdoigts and Max Charles, created a new calibration system called AMIGO that uses artificial intelligence to model the behavior of JWST’s detector in space. By correcting a phenomenon known as the “brighter-fatter effect,” where electrical charge slightly spreads between pixels, their software restored AMI’s ability to produce extremely sharp, high-contrast images from millions of miles away.

AI-enhanced calibration sharply improves JWST imagery of distant celestial objects. [Credit: Max Charles/University of Sydney]With the correction applied, JWST has achieved sharper-than-ever detections of faint and closely orbiting objects. The team demonstrated improved imaging of a dim exoplanet and a brown dwarf companion orbiting the nearby star HD 206893, about 133 light-years from Earth. Additional examples included high-resolution observations of Io’s volcanic surface, a Wolf-Rayet star system, and a distant black hole jet — confirming that the fix significantly boosts scientific capability.

The effort highlights a growing era where software and artificial intelligence can enhance or even “repair” spacecraft from the ground. “Instead of sending astronauts to bolt on new parts, they managed to fix things with code,” said Professor Peter Tuthill of the University of Sydney, whose group originally contributed the AMI instrument design for JWST. The achievement underscores both the telescope’s flexibility and Australia’s strong role in cutting-edge astronomical instrumentation.

The research has now been publicly released and peer-review is underway. The software tools are being prepared for use by the broader JWST science community, ensuring the telescope continues delivering unmatched views of the universe — all thanks to a clever fix developed on Earth, with no spacewalks or hardware intervention required.

+ Elon Musk’s Starlink has made satellite internet service free to residents in Jamaica and the Bahamas following widespread communications outages caused by Hurricane Melissa. Starlink says the temporary measure is intended to support emergency response and recovery efforts as infrastructure repairs continue. Although service fees are waived through the end of November, new users would still need to purchase a Starlink terminal if they don’t already have one. The company also enabled direct-to-cell service in Jamaica via Liberty Caribbean, allowing compatible phones to connect directly to Starlink satellites during terrestrial network disruptions. Starlink’s low-Earth-orbit constellation provides lower latency than traditional geostationary satellite internet, making it useful in disaster environments where real-time communication is critical, especially for first responders and emergency coordinators. SpaceX has offered similar emergency access before, including after major flooding in Texas and during Hurricanes Helene and Milton in 2024, reflecting an ongoing pattern of deploying satellite support during major disasters.

+ A historic 26-meter radio dish in Rosman, North Carolina—now part of the Pisgah Astronomical Research Institute (PARI)—once served NASA’s Space Tracking and Data Acquisition network and later supported U.S. intelligence operations during the Cold War. Established in 1962, the site tracked early NASA satellites, supported Apollo recovery communications, and later hosted NSA signals-intelligence missions before being decommissioned in the 1990s. PARI’s nonprofit owners have since preserved the facility as an education and research campus, hosting camps, astronomy programs, and university instruments while maintaining operational deep-space-capable antennas. The institute recently listed portions of its 192-acre campus for sale or lease, seeking a partner who will continue its STEM outreach mission rather than convert the property to private development. PARI maintains real tracking capability, recently receiving signals from Intuitive Machines’ IM-1 lunar lander and preparing to listen for NASA’s Artemis II Orion spacecraft regardless of official involvement. Leaders stress that PARI is not shutting down, and they aim to secure support from the growing commercial space sector to keep the iconic “26 West” dish operating as a public educational and scientific asset.

+ Prusa Research has introduced Prusament PC Space Grade Black, a 3D-printing filament engineered for aerospace projects and developed in cooperation with TRL Space. The material meets European Space Agency (ESA) outgassing standards and provides electrostatic-dissipative protection, making it suitable for satellite components and electronics housings used in space environments. Mechanical testing shows it exceeds key strength and temperature requirements for CubeSat structures, demonstrating potential for lightweight printed parts on future missions. Unlike traditional space-qualified plastics that require expensive industrial printers, this filament can be printed on standard Prusa desktop systems with a hardened nozzle. That makes high-reliability parts and space-hardware prototyping significantly more affordable and accessible to universities, labs, and advanced hobbyists. With strong performance in vacuum, thermal, and ESD conditions, the material opens exciting possibilities for low-cost satellite development and electronics protection on Earth and beyond.

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (WCMH) -- Noticeably during Ohio State's game at Purdue, Carnell Tate has not appeared on the field on any of Ohio State’s first three drives. He is dressed and on the sidelines but does not have his helmet on.

Tate was not listed on the injury report released before the game.

Per the broadcast, Tate is reportedly healthy but did feel some tightness during warmups. Ohio State confirmed that he is being held out of the game as a precaution.

Coach Ryan Day later said at halftime that he was being cautious with using the star wide receiver and that he would not appear at all against the Boilermakers.

Tate, alongside teammate Jeremiah Smith, has become one of the more prolific players for the Buckeyes this season. The junior from Chicago has 39 catches for 711 yards and seven touchdowns so far this season.

In Tate’s absence, junior WR Bryson Rodgers has stepped up and already has one reception for 11 yards through the first half. Smith is leading the receiving corps in catches and yardage, making a touchdown reception in the second quarter.

WEST LAFAYETTE, Indiana (WCMH) -- No. 1 Ohio State puts its 12-game winning streak on the line against a Purdue squad desperate for its first Big Ten victory of the season.

The undefeated Buckeyes have won the last three meetings against the Boilermakers, including a 45-0 win in Columbus last year. Purdue has lost seven in a row since winning the first two games of the season.

Quarterback Julian Sayin looks to capitalize off another strong performance, throwing for four touchdowns and missing just three of his 23 passes against Penn State last weekend. Meanwhile, the defense pitched a shutout in the second half against the Nittany Lions, scoring 21 unanswered after leading by just three at the half.

The last time Purdue beat OSU was in 2018, when the Boilermakers kept the Buckeyes out of the College Football Playoff that year and, ironically, snapped their 12-game win streak.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) — A teenager has been arrested after Whitehall police received reports of several individuals talking about guns.

According to a Whitehall police, officers responded Thursday to reports of suspicious activity at John Bishop Park, near the Whitehall Recreation Center. Reports received detailed several juveniles smoking marijuana and talking about guns.

Upon arrival, police encountered a 16-year-old and recovered a loaded, compact assault rifle similar to an AK-47 with 26 rounds of ammunition in the magazine. Also reported as evidence were tools related to stealing cars.

The teenager was arrested and charged with carrying a concealed weapon and possessing criminal tools. It is unknown whether any other suspects were arrested, though no one was reported injured during the incident.

DUBLIN, Ohio (WCMH) – A health-focused fast-casual chain that serves customizable bowls and salads will soon open a location in Dublin.

Roots Natural Kitchen will hold a grand opening at 7048 Hospital Drive on Saturday, when the brand will offer 40% off all meals and allow customers to enter merchandise giveaways, according to a news release. 

The new restaurant will mark the chain’s third location in Ohio. The state’s first eatery debuted at 10 E. 15th Ave. near Ohio State University in 2022, and a second launched at 808 Grandview Ave. in Grandview Heights in May.

Roots Natural Kitchen allows customers to build their own bowls, with a base of rice, grains or greens. Customers can add a variety of vegetables, meats, tofu, beans, nuts and dressings, such as pesto vinaigrette or miso ginger. 

The eatery also has premade options on the menu, including a pesto Caesar salad and a Southern bowl, featuring rice, kale, chickpeas, roasted broccoli, charred corn, lime-pickled onions, cheddar cheese, barbecue tofu and lemon tahini dressing. 

The chain was founded in Virginia in 2015 and has since grown to a total of 17 locations across Virginia, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Delaware and West Virginia. The brand is “passionate about making natural food radically accessible,” the news release said. 

Roots Natural Kitchen in Dublin will offer dine-in, pickup, delivery and catering services. Its hours will include Monday through Friday from 10:30 a.m. to 9 p.m., along with Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. 

PITTSBURGH (WCMH) -- Former Ohio State quarterback Terrelle Pryor has been sued for alleged recklessness after a crash this year left three women seriously injured.

Three Indianapolis women filed two lawsuits on Oct. 22 in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, where the crash occurred, accusing Pryor of acting recklessly by driving his Tesla Cybertruck at a high speed in Pittsburgh's South Side neighborhood.

A woman and two passengers were headed east in a Nissan Rogue. The women were in a left turn lane with a flashing yellow light and were waiting for oncoming traffic to clear before turning into a gas station parking lot.

Pryor was traveling west in the left lane "at an unsafe rate of speed," approaching two trucks that were stopped at a red light, according to the lawsuit. Pryor then allegedly swerved into the right lane, running the red light and crashing into the Rogue. The vehicle was pinned to a traffic light post and turned on its side.

Both women had to be removed from the vehicle and were hospitalized with "severe and serious" injuries, according to the lawsuit. The driver of the Rogue suffered a cut involving the muscles and tendons on the right hand, hip pain, and other spine and body trauma.

One passenger suffered injuries including a hernia and fractures to the neck, femur and pelvis, according to the lawsuit. The other passenger suffered femur and nose fractures, among other injuries.

Pryor was not injured in the crash.

The women argue that Pryor's negligence was what caused the crash and their subsequent injuries. They are demanding a jury trial.

Pryor, a Pittsburgh native, played for the Buckeyes from 2008 to 2010 before being drafted by the Oakland Raiders in the third round of the 2011 NFL draft.

At Ohio State, Pryor had a record of 31-4 with 6,177 passing yards, 2,164 rushing yards, and 57 touchdown passes.

Pryor was one of the “Tattoo Five,” members of the 2010 OSU team punished because Pryor, Mike Adams, Daniel “Boom” Herron, DeVier Posey, and Solomon Thomas received improper benefits from a local tattoo parlor owner in exchange for memorabilia.

Pryor was drafted by the Oakland Raiders in 2011, where he was quarterback from 2011 to 2013 before joining the Seattle Seahawks, Kansas City Chiefs, and Cincinnati Bengals. He switched to wide receiver with the Cleveland Browns in 2015 before joining the Washington Redskins, New York Jets, Buffalo Bills, and Jacksonville Jaguars, where he was released in 2019.

WORTHINGTON, Ohio (WCMH) -- Wolf's Ridge Brewing announced on Thursday it's leading the effort to revamp the Worthington Inn restaurant.

The Columbus-based brewery will expand its craft brewing and cuisine to the historic restaurant at 649 High St. in Worthington this upcoming spring. In the announcement, Wolf's Ridge said its vision for the inn "builds on what the space has always represented: a gathering place rooted in tradition and connection."

"Rather than reinventing it, Wolf's Ridge is honoring the inn's heritage while reimagining how it can serve the Worthington community -- with high-quality food, genuine hospitality and comfortable atmosphere designed for both everyday moments and special occasions," the statement said.

The announcement comes after a relaunched website and new social media pages for the inn began teasing its comeback last month. An Oct. 23 post read, "The Worthington Inn is preparing for its next chapter under local ownership dedicated to preserving its legacy and revitalizing its role as Worthington's gathering place."

Bob Szuter, co-owner of Wolf's Ridge, said in Thursday's announcement that the brewery is "thrilled to join the Worthington community and play a role in bringing new life to such a meaningful local landmark."

"The Worthington Inn has always been a place for connection, and we want to honor that legacy while introducing a fresh, welcoming energy that reflects the heart of this community," Szuter said. "It will become a place where you can enjoy a memorable meal or pause to catch up with a friend across the room, all while experiencing the passion and purpose behind everything we create."

The brewery's plans for the inn will preserve the building's architecture, while "reintroducing it as a vibrant gathering place for the community," the announcement said. In collaboration with Flat Black Commercial Visuals, the design team behind the Wolf's Ridge Understory location, "the space will blend classic character with a warm, tavern-inspired setting -- evoking the familiarity of New England inns and old English pubs, while offering a distinctly local feel."

"Reopening [the inn's] doors is our way of honoring the memories and traditions that have shaped Worthington, while creating new opportunities for neighbors and friends to gather," said Jerry DePizzo, a member of the inn's new ownership group. "We're excited to invite everyone back to experience the warmth, hospitality, and spirit that make Worthington truly special."

More details about the project, including updates on the brewery's plans for the space and the grand opening date, will be shared in the coming months, the announcement said.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) -- Every fall, one of the greatest rivalries, between Ohio State and Michigan, is channeled into a lifesaving cause. The Blood Battle. For 44 years, the blood donation competition has inspired tens of thousands of fans to roll up their sleeves.

The Buckeyes may have lost to the Wolverines on the field last year but when it comes to the battle off the field, they’re on a hot streak, aiming to claim their fourth victory in a row.

“We’re saving more lives so you know we might not win sometimes but we win in a humanitarian sense almost,” said Ella Cindric, a student at Ohio State who donated blood.

Local families finally get answers in lease option program

For many Ohio State fans, this rivalry runs deeper than football. It’s in their blood.

“People like to compare other school rivalries but it’s never going to be Ohio State versus Michigan,” she said.

The Blood Battle tradition began in 1966 when a fraternity at Michigan started blood drives. They were so successful that in 1982, they decided to get their rivals involved.

“Not only was the rivalry strong but the need for blood around the holidays is so strong. It was a great way to get the community and the students engaged in donating,” said Heidi Seitz, Regional Manager of Donor Recruitment at Versiti Blood Center of Ohio.

Unlike their dominance on the field, Ohio State is not the all time leader in the Blood Battle. Michigan has won 23 and Ohio State is closing in on them with 19 wins. As of November 5, the Buckeyes are leading by almost 200 units of blood.

“I did it last year too and we won then so we’re trying to get it back this year,” said Zara Shaik, a student at Ohio State who donated blood.

NBC4 crunched the numbers from the start of the Blood Battle to see if there is any correlation between winning the Blood Battle and winning the game. There’s no major correlation but if you’re the superstitious type, Ohio State has won 55.5% of the rivalry games when they also win the blood battle.

Wendy’s may close hundreds of locations

“The rivalry is really exciting. It draws a lot of attention both on the field and off the field and we’re excited to be a part of it,” Seitz said.

She said the rivalry plays a critical role in keeping the blood supply stocked. Last year, around 3,100 pints of blood were collected with the potential of saving more than 9,000 lives.

“Buckeye nation is such a large community that they come and support not only the team but the patients and we really do need that volume,” said Seitz.

The Blood Battle lasts until November 26. Learn more about how to participate here.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) -- After NBC4 Investigates' story aired Thursday night, one more local family is a step closer to buying their home.

NBC4 Investigates, Isabel Cleary, showed how dozens of area families entered a lease option program where they pay rent for fifteen years, then have the option to buy the home. However, after fifteen years, more than a dozen families are still waiting and getting no answers.

Isabel sat down with Homeports CEO, and today, one HOMEport resident tells NBC4 the CEO reached out to let them know that paperwork to start the buying process is on the way. This comes six years after the resident first expected it.

NBC4 Investigates will stay on top of this story as more families wait to buy their homes.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) -- On Friday, the Ohio Department of Natural Resources premiered “Ohio: Wild At Heart”—a 45-minute IMAX documentary showcasing the state’s natural beauty.

After screening the film at COSI’s Giant Screen Theater, Governor Mike DeWine moderated a panel discussion with ODNR Director Mary Mertz, COSI CEO Dr. Frederic Bertley, and Nature Conservancy state director Bill Stanley. 

“I think the only regret we had is there’s so much we couldn’t show,” said DeWine. 

Bipartisan effort in Ohio aims to improve missing persons database

The documentary, produced by the California studio MacGillivray Freeman Films, cost a little more than $2 million to make and features narration by Ohio State Buckeyes hero Archie Griffin. 

“Ohio is a part of me, and I’m the type of guy that likes to be outside,” said Griffin before the screening. “And to be in our parks here in the state of Ohio I think is just absolutely wonderful.”

The documentary consciously centers on human interaction with Ohio’s natural resources—from mountain biking to birding to veterans who have taken up fly fishing to ease the symptoms of PTSD. One scene depicts the Governor and First Lady Fran DeWine leading a group of kids along a storybook trail. 

“Everything that you can see in this movie, you can visit right here in the state of Ohio,” said DeWine. “They may not be places you’ve been before, but I think it’s going to get people excited about going to different places when they see some of the great beauty that is depicted in this movie.” 

The film also centers on conservation efforts that have notched plenty of wins for Ohio's environment in the last half-century. 

“I think back fifty years ago, when our rivers were polluted, and how Ohioans stepped in, brought them back,” said Griffin. “The bald eagle was getting ready to be extinct and our people pulled together, bald eagles are striving now.” 

Despite the many environmental success stories, recent years have seen shifts in state policy that trouble conservationists. H2Ohio—DeWine’s signature clean water program established in 2019—had its budget cut severely in the most recent state budget.

Then there was also the infamous “Chicken Bill”—a piece of legislation that originally concerned poultry regulations but eventually gained an amendment to allow natural gas drilling under Ohio’s state parks. In 2024, the West Virginia-based company Infinity Natural Resources won a bid to begin drilling in Salt Fork State Park. 

Columbus residents receive aid from local distribution events

"Drilling under state parks is always going to be controversial,” said Mertz. “There's only one park there’s drilling under now, we haven’t seen any adverse effects of that. And there’s a lot of drilling that takes place in this state and we take very seriously our obligation at the department to make sure people are safe and it’s well regulated and we are very focused on that.” 

DeWine and Mertz agreed the state is not moving backwards on conservation. 

“We are still investing significantly in our natural resources,” said DeWine. “If you look at our focus on water in the state of Ohio, whether it is making sure the Ohio River, the Miami, as well as the Great Lakes or Lake Erie is in good shape, we continue to invest in that. It might not have been exactly what I asked the legislature to do, but it’s still a huge, historically large investment.”

Ohio: Wild At Heart will be available for public viewing at COSI starting November 8, and will also appear at AMC theaters and science centers across the state.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) -- As people struggle to make ends meet during the shutdown, Columbus Recreation and Parks, along with its partners, are helping connect residents with he resources they need.

Today, the department held a distribution event at the Scioto Southland Recreation Center on Parsons Ave. Residents in need were able to stop by and get food, household cleaning supplies, and even necessities for babies.

Rec and Parks director Bernita Reese tells us events like this would not be possible without the help of the community.

"When you think about coming together, it's one city. So when we say Columbus, we doing it the Columbus way. So it's partnerships internally from one department to another, but it's also our external partners, Mid-Ohio Food Collective, so it's everybody joining forces to make sure our residents have the essentials to make it from one day to another," said Reese.

There will be two more distribution events next week. Monday's will be held at the Linden Community Center and Wednesdays at the Far East Recreation Center. Both distribution events will run from 2 to 6 p.m.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) -- It’s a tragedy that has puzzled the West Side of Columbus for nineteen years—the disappearance of Andrew Chapman. 

“I was driving past a billboard every single day, and it was the billboard looking for information about Andrew Chapman’s disappearance,” said Rep. Christine Cockley (D-Columbus). 

Cockley eventually got in touch with Chapman’s sister, Aimee, and began talking with her and with other families of people who have disappeared. 

“It’s almost shocking how many people there are that have missing loved ones and unresolved cases,” said Cockley. “Especially in a world right now where there’s technology everywhere, it is mind-boggling, and it’s so sad to me that people still don’t have answers.” 

Wendy's may close hundreds of locations

Currently, the Ohio Attorney General’s database lists more than a thousand missing persons cases in the state. About 800 of those are children, and about 350 are adults.

After being elected to the House of Representatives in 2024, Cockley and her colleague Rep. Kevin Ritter (R-Marietta) had discussed potential legislation to help reunite families with missing loved ones.

“We actually first connected during our freshman orientation, and we both left a conversation feeling a little bit down but very motivated. And it was a conversation about human trafficking and missing people,” said Cockley. “And I thought to myself, this is a bill that we need to do, and Representative Ritter is the right person to do it with me. Because I could tell that he was empathetic to it.” 

Ritter and Cockley co-sponsored House Resolution 227, which encourages the U.S. Department of Justice to expedite the integration of two national crime databases—the National Crime Information Center and the National Missing and Unidentified Persons database or “NamUS.” Merging the two databases would prevent law enforcement from wasting time looking in the wrong place for details on a missing persons case. 

In addition to H.R. 227, Ritter and Cockley introduced House Bill 217, which they now call Andy Chapman’s Act. 

“That is the real meat and potatoes I want to say,” said Cockley. “That would require law enforcement to utilize NameUs, it would allow for an administrative warrant, and then also would acknowledge the need for digitizing records within law enforcement. And those three pieces really emphasize the need for law enforcement to have data that’s easily accessible, clean, and up-to-date, especially for the families that are searching for answers.” 

Andy Chapman’s Act has found support among groups like the Ohio Domestic Violence Network, Freedom a la Carte, and the families of missing persons. In June, Aimee Chapman told lawmakers about her family’s struggles while searching for her missing brother. 

“We were the ones that had to file an estate in Andrew’s name to be able to pull records—records we feel the police should’ve been able to pull in the beginning,” said Chapman. “All of these records that could have been pulled at the beginning, unfortunately, were destroyed by the time we tried to pull them. So we just kept hitting roadblocks over and over. So I feel with this bill it will give police a map on how to follow through with these cases.” 

Both measures appear to have strong bipartisan support at the Statehouse. The House unanimously passed H.R. 227 on Wednesday, and Cockley expects a vote on Andy Chapman’s Act could come as early as next week.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) -- SNAP benefits have been on pause for nearly a week, and it’s still unclear when payments may begin again in the midst of the government shutdown.

Many people in central Ohio rely on SNAP benefits to provide food for their families, and some are now looking to local nonprofits to help.

Stowe Mission on the South Side of Columbus serves a hot meal each weekday. Director of Programs Natalie McCloud said they typically feed between 250 and 300 people a day, but the need is growing.

“Even yesterday we saw a major uptick in the people needing lunch,” said McCloud, “Serving over 420 meals on a lunch that is well above what we've done historically on any given day.”

Chicken chain Zaxbys planning to expand into Columbus

It’s a service that many neighbors in South Columbus rely on, and more people are coming with SNAP paused.

“I come here because it's somewhere I can get a meal,” said Geralyn Stancin, who eats lunch at Stowe Mission.

She said that without her SNAP benefits, she is feeling the strain.

“Yeah, it’s hard when they don’t hit,” said Stancin. “I don't even know if they're going to come back. I'm hoping they come back.”

McCloud said Stowe Mission does not want to turn anyone away. The community trusts them.

“We are seeing an increase of people that are requesting services, especially with the panic happening of not knowing when they're going to have, you know, a meal for the coming weeks,” said McCloud.

Volunteers help ease the burden. A local church group helped out on Friday morning, and they made a run to a local store before their volunteer shift when they heard over 400 meals were served on Thursday.

“We don’t want to turn anybody away. Yeah, we would rather have extra and give people seconds, but we don’t want to turn somebody away that’s hungry,” said volunteer Roger Neer.

McCloud said Stowe Mission is relying on other local organizations to keep everyone fed.

“Every day, people being able to add to what we already have will make a difference. And it will help in these times when everyone else is pulling on other major resources,” said McCloud.

Stowe Mission is asking for volunteers, non-perishable food items, and monetary donations during this time.
