MANSFIELD — Nobody distrusts weather like Carl Hunnell.

Er, no one complains more about weather than the grumpy old Richland Source deputy managing editor.

Episode 90 of the News Man Weekly opens with Hunnell greeting the official arrival of spring in the only way he knows how — with suspicion, sarcasm and a near fall by the mailbox.

He and Executive Producer Zac Hiser then roll into their weekend recap and discuss the best Martin Scorsese films during another installment of “What’s Carl Watching?”

In News of the Week, the crew recaps several major local stories, including Richland County awarding the contract for the new roundabout at Lexington-Springmill and Home roads; Mansfield exploring a possible downtown DORA to boost activity and support local businesses; and the latest steps in the long process of bringing a Buc-ee’s Travel Center to the I-71/Ohio 39 corridor. 

Finally, the show welcomes Sherry Branham-Fonner, who is retiring after a long career in social services and public service in Richland County, most recently as executive director of the Richland County Mental Health and Recovery Services Board.

She reflects on 33 years of work in the community, the changing landscape of mental health and addiction recovery, the challenges of leading during difficult times and what she hopes people better understand about the services and support systems available in Richland County.
