Good morning, Westerville. In an era where many seek silver linings, local metal band Lo-Pan is embracing a different path. Their forthcoming album "Get Well Soon" confronts our darkest societal realities head-on, forged in the crucible of personal tragedy and global turmoil. Ironically, as their music has grown heavier, band members have grown softer with each other—a reminder that sometimes acknowledging the darkness is its own form of truth.
As spring unfolds across Ohio, wildlife officials have an urgent seasonal reminder: that seemingly abandoned fawn in your backyard is almost certainly not orphaned. Mother deer intentionally leave their young while foraging, using our neighborhoods as natural nurseries. Meanwhile, despite a mysterious 404 error, WOSU Public Media continues delivering essential Ohio news—from humanities funding shifts to unusual local crime stories—proving that even in the digital age, technical glitches can't stop information from finding its audience.

🎸 Lo-Pan's new album embraces a world beyond redemption. "Get Well Soon," releasing April 4, reflects the band's reckoning with societal collapse, fascism, and global atrocities. Singer Jeff Martin describes the album as acknowledging our current moment rather than offering hope for moving forward. Personal tragedies—including deaths and drummer Jesse Bartz's cancer diagnosis—combined with political turmoil to push the band's sound in a darker direction. Despite the album's heaviness, Martin notes the band members have ironically grown softer with each other, even as their music confronts humanity's harshest realities.
🦌 Leave baby animals alone, Ohio wildlife officials urge. The ODNR Division of Wildlife reminds Ohioans that young wildlife observed alone are usually not abandoned but waiting for parents to return. Most animals taken in by untrained people don't survive despite good intentions. Wildlife mothers like deer deliberately hide their young in backyards or parks as a protective strategy. If you encounter injured wildlife, contact licensed wildlife rehabilitators at 800-WILDLIFE rather than intervening yourself.
