Good morning, Westerville. The future of emergency care is taking shape right here in Ohio as OSU launches groundbreaking training for psychedelic crisis response. With 2.8 million new psychedelic users since 2021, this $400,000 PEACE program arrives just in time to equip healthcare workers and first responders with critical skills for handling adverse reactions—bridging a significant gap in emergency response protocols that affects communities nationwide.

Meanwhile, Columbus is transforming East Main Street into an open-air gallery with the new "Murals on Main" initiative. The first installation, "The Moth Within," already brightens the corridor with symbols of growth and transformation. And for those who appreciate architectural artistry, a historic Bexley mansion has hit the market, blending 1920s European charm with modern luxury across its sprawling 7,000 square feet—complete with a private library and patios overlooking parkland.
