Bookies.com: Indiana will have its first legit opponent
Bill Speros writes, “The Hoosiers have run the table thus far in 2024. In addition to their 10-0, 7-0 in the Big Ten start, Indiana is 8-2 ATS. IU did not cover a 12-point line in a 20-15 home win against Michigan. That was IU’s first legit Big Ten opponent in an otherwise soft-sided conference schedule. Indiana enters The Horseshoe in Columbus off the bye. Ohio State is No. 2 in the CFB Playoff Rankings. The Bucks (9-1, 6-1 Big Ten) failed to cover 5 times this season. They rolled through Northwestern at Wrigley Field but failed to cover on the 28.5-point line Saturday. ESPN Analytics gives Ohio State a 73.2% chance of winning. The number is a bit of a discount at just 2 scores. Ohio State has allowed just 9.25 points in its past 4 games. Indiana hasn’t come close to facing a team like Ohio State in a place like Columbus. Style points matter as the regular season comes to a close.”

$50K Powerball ticket sold in Northeast Ohio; jackpot reaches $1.5B
CANFIELD, Ohio (WJW) – Nobody took home the massive Powerball jackpot on Wednesday, but one Canfield man is still celebrating after purchasing a winning ticket worth $50,000.

After her son died in car wreck, Ohio mom fought for public records
A mom searching for answers about her son’s death in a car wreck won a victory on Dec. 19 when the Ohio Supreme Court ordered the Richland County Sheriff to release records to her.
The court ruled in a unanimous decision that Andrea Mauk is entitled to three sets of records withheld by the sheriff, with only Social Security numbers being redacted. Mauk will be awarded $2,000 in damages but will not receive attorney fees.
On June 23, 2023, 18-year-old Damon Mauk lost control of his 1998 Ford Mustang and slammed it into a tree. His mother wanted to piece together what happened, collect his belongings and grieve the loss of her child. She didn’t think she’d have to fight for public records and take her case to the Ohio Supreme Court.
Following the crash, Richland County Sheriff’s deputies, a township fire department and the Ohio State Highway Patrol responded.
During the investigation, a trooper told a deputy to leave Damon’s iPhone and wallet in the car, according to Mauk’s court filings. Instead, the deputy took the belongings to the hospital and handed them off to someone who said he was Damon’s dad.
Mauk didn’t understand. Damon’s father was largely absent from his life. How could he have been there to pick up the wallet and phone?
A few weeks after the fatal crash, Mauk asked for records, including: the sheriff’s report and inventory of items taken from the car, body camera footage from deputies who gave away the belongings, the report, photos and videos created by the patrol and more.
Mauk, of the Mansfield area, received some but not all of the requested records. Mauk hired attorney Brian Bardwell to pursue records she believes exist but weren’t provided or were improperly redacted.
The sheriff’s office claimed that some of the requested records were exempt from disclosure because they are confidential law enforcement records or personal notes. The court privately reviewed the records withheld from Mauk and determined that they should be released.
The decision in favor of releasing records runs contrary to recent rulings from the high court.
In 2024, the court held that the cost of sending troopers to protect Gov. Mike DeWine at a Super Bowl game weren’t subject to disclosure and that the Ohio Department of Health should redact from a database the names and addresses of Ohioans who had died, even though that death certificate information can be released on an individual case basis.
In 2025 the court ruled that police officers’ names may be kept confidential if they’re attacked on the job, giving them privacy rights afforded to crime victims.
