“I would like to see more articles about little known local nature preserves in Richland and surrounding counties. For example, Fleming Falls. I’ve lived in the area for nearly 50 years and have never been there before until this year because I didn’t know it existed.“
MANSFIELD – The 22nd episode of the News Man Weekly podcast has dropped — and it includes an answer to a reader’s “Open Source” question.
In this week’s edition, Richland Source City Editor Carl Hunnell is joined by three leaders of the Richland County Park District – Operations Director Jordan Tackett, Finance Director Larry Smith and B&O Trail Manager Josh Dyer.
The Richland County Park District has entered a new era, now collecting about $1.6 million annually from a property tax levy approved by voters in 2023. It’s the first time in the six-decade history of the parks department that it has had its own independent funding source.
The trio talks about improvements on the B&O Trail, a wetlands restoration project underway near the I-71/Ohio 97 interchange and the bright future of the Fleming Falls Park.

Hunnell is also joined by Executive Producer Zac Hiser and videographer Grant Ritchey to riff about the news of the week, including the Ontario Warriors advancing to the regional finals in high school football for the first time; Mansfield Christian School launching a new $30 million capital campaign; a new “shoot house” for the Mansfield Police Department training purposes; and the upcoming of the Tiny Tim Christmas Shoppe in downtown Mansfield.
