Gold mine encroaches on Congo World Heritage Okapi Reserve
An expanding Chinese run gold mine in the Ituri River region presses into Congo's Okapi Wildlife Reserve, a World Heritage Site since 1996. Legal permits tilted by disputed maps face criticism as boundaries allegedly shrink and authorities clash over which zones are protected.

Vermilion weighs 6119 project to upgrade sewer system
Vermilion officials consider joining the 6119 regional sewer district to avoid long term multmillion dollar upgrades. If Vermilion partners, a short term update like a pump station hookup to a western Lorain County plant could suffice, while staying on pace with EPA mandates. City seeks $79 million in state funding, bids on Vermilion on the Lake project range 8.6 to 9.6 million, risking a $4 million state grant if not finished by November 2026.
