Good morning, Licking County. After a century of family ownership, Buckeye Lake's historic Journal Island has changed hands, selling for a price that undoubtedly reflects its storied past as a retreat for Ohio's power brokers. The 6-acre island paradise, complete with a 5,500-square-foot main house and waterfront amenities, joins the ranks of prestigious properties that dot the lake's 21 islands — a fascinating reminder of our region's blend of natural beauty and historical significance.
Meanwhile, the Granville Education Foundation is writing its next chapter with a call for passionate volunteers to join its Board of Trustees. Since 1993, this vital organization has funded innovative educational projects and honored outstanding educators. With three board positions open and applications due by May 8, this presents a perfect opportunity for education advocates to help shape the future of learning in our community while carrying on a three-decade tradition of excellence.
