📰 News we're reading
• Clippers edge South Range (morningjournalnews.com) — Newton Falls fans will see Crestview’s boys basketball team visit on Tuesday, as the Rebels look to bounce back from a 49-36 loss to Springfield. The roundup also highlights Columbiana’s one-point win over South Range and Southeast’s big victory over Salem, plus United’s solid road win at Jackson-Milton. 
• Parents upset by 'misleading' holiday giveaways in Youngstown, Newton Falls (wfmj.com) — Newton Falls families were part of a faith-based holiday toy giveaway where organizers say only about 50 toys and 200 goody bags were distributed locally, leaving some parents feeling misled. The event, linked to youth pastor Benjamin Battaglini, was advertised as a broad giveaway but operated more like a raffle, and some attendees criticized what they saw as a bait‑and‑switch toward religious messaging over gifts.
• Eleven felony charges filed in alleged connection to possible Masury cat abandonment (wfmj.com) — Several severely malnourished cats rescued from a Masury home were rushed to Newton Falls Animal Hospital, where vets are treating the survivors. Trumbull County prosecutors have filed eleven fifth‑degree felony companion‑animal charges each against Tiffany and James Daniels, with court dates still to be set as the investigation continues.
