In Columbus Ohio thousands of students returned to regular classrooms after gas shortages closed 140 of 175 schools since Feb. 4 affecting 96,000 pupils.

The village of Minster Ohio recalls the loss of eight high school students in a March crash and three more later that year near the same site.

The piece notes deep local grief and reflections from residents, including relatives of victims, amid a desire not to dwell on the tragedy.
