CELINA - Longtime Celina Municipal Court Bailiff LeRoy Felver is retiring for a second time on Dec. 31, closing the door on a nearly 50-year-career with the city.

Felver, 70, a graduate of Willshire High School and the State Highway Patrol Police Academy, began his career as a member of the Celina Police Department auxiliary before joining the force in 1965. He worked his way up the ranks and was named chief of police in the early '80s. [More]

WAYNESFIELD - It didn't take long for Wade Gelhaus to reach a career milestone, but it took a lot longer for Fort Recovery's boys basketball team to shake off a feisty Waynesfield-Goshen squad.

Gelhaus reached the 1,000-point mark for his career in the first quarter, but the Tigers gave the Indians fits in the second quarter before Fort Recovery cranked up the intensity in the second half on the way to a 71-42 win on Tuesday night in Auglaize County. [More]
