We are celebrating community milestones and new beginnings in this week’s edition of The Meridian Weekly. The Laingsburg Lions Club held its annual Charter Night, honoring Gail Gealser as Lion of the Year and welcoming three new members, all while reflecting on nearly 80 years of service. We also welcome Tyler and Roselie Beard, who have opened the Wailingstore, a charming used book shop in downtown Ovid featuring thousands of books, DVDs, and vinyl records. Their entrepreneurial spirit is a wonderful addition to our business community.

Ovid Carriage Days is just around the corner, and we have all the details for the July 10-12 festival, including a new lineup of entertainment, a vertical wall challenge, and pre-sale ride tickets available at City Hall and our office. We also feature the final book in Laurie Salisbury’s children’s horse series, the Ashley Bears spring all-conference athletes, and a heartfelt farewell to Pastor JD Paik. As always, we thank you for reading and for making our community strong.

This week’s edition is filled with community pride. The Ovid-Elsie school board approved a new five year strategic plan focused on growing opportunities for every student. We also congratulate Jerry Snyder as Teacher of the Year and Victoria Seidel as Employee of the Year. On the sports front, our girls soccer and baseball teams are both district champions and advancing to regionals. The Ovid Downtown Farmers Market is now open every Thursday, and Ovid resident Robert Rodway is planning to open a satellite office for his mental health practice, Minds Over Matter, right here in town. As always, thank you for making The Meridian Weekly part of your week.

Big changes are here at The Meridian Weekly. Beginning with this issue, your newspaper is arriving in the mailbox for homes in Bannister, Elsie, Ovid, Laingsburg, and St. Johns. For our readers in Ashley and rural Owosso, you can find the full paper online for free at here at meridianweekly.com, plus additional drop off locations in Ashley. We are grateful for the decades of carrier service from the Price family and look forward to this next chapter of delivering local news.

Spring is in full swing here at The Meridian Weekly, and so are our communities. This week’s edition is packed with hometown pride, from the Elsie Dairy Festival Pageant candidates gracing our front page to Laingsburg’s Red Thunder Robotics wrapping up a historic season at the World Championship in Houston. We also have full coverage of Memorial Day remembrances across Ovid, Elsie, and Greenbush, plus heartwarming stories like Ashley Middle School students delivering succulents to local nursing home residents. It is the kind of small town goodness that makes our job a joy.

Sports fans will want to turn straight to our pages. The Wolfpack baseball and softball teams are red hot heading into postseason play, Ovid-Elsie track athletes shattered records on their way to State Finals, and Laingsburg’s girls’ soccer team gave Bath everything they had in a dramatic District matchup. We are also celebrating the 43rd annual Laingsburg Springtime Festival (huge congrats to raffle winner Richard Cook), sharing important public notices on the Elsie Dam project and local millage proposals, and remembering beloved community members in our obituaries. As always, thank you for making The Meridian Weekly part of your week, online and in your mailbox.

A bittersweet week here at The Meridian Weekly , we’re closing a chapter on three generations of home delivery. Art, Dan, Beau, and Mike Price have been the backbone of our carrier service since the early ’90s, but beginning in June, we’re returning to postal delivery. We couldn’t be more grateful to the Price family, Tom Turek, and every carrier who’s rolled out thousands of papers through rain, snow, and sunshine. (Maybe now Art can finally sneak in more fishing and golf!)

Elsewhere in this packed May 24th edition: we celebrate the Ovid-Elsie girls’ soccer team clinching their sixth straight conference championship, Laingsburg’s Tami Skok heading to the Transplant Games on her 10-year “kidney-versary,” and beautiful Memorial Day service listings across Ovid, Laingsburg, Elsie, and Greenbush. Plus, we honor local graduates, share rhubarb fundraisers, library summer reading kickoffs, and heartfelt obituaries. As always — thank you for growing up with us, weekly, for 35 years.

This week’s edition is bursting with graduation pride and community celebration! We’re thrilled to feature the Laingsburg High School Class of 2026 — including co-valedictorians Hazel Burley, Cody Catalane, Carter Klont, Bella Latuszek, Evan Lefevre, Hannah Rathka, and Waylon Rowley — as well as the full Ovid-Elsie graduating class (see page 19). Meanwhile, Shannon and Troy Graham have been named Parade Marshals for the 43rd Laingsburg Springtime Festival happening May 21-25, with a full schedule of carnival rides, arts & crafts, co****le tournament, live music, and a raffle for a custom golf cart. Don’t miss the festival pull-out section on pages 9-11!

Elsewhere, the Elsie Village Council held a public hearing on a proposed $9.23 million water improvement project to address aging infrastructure from the 1930s, the Ovid-Elsie girls tennis team captured the MMAC championship, and the Ovid-Elsie football team continued its annual tradition of cleaning up the CIS Rail Trail. We also said goodbye to several beloved community members, including Mary Louise Miller (98) and Mary Catherine Fox (95). And as always, Crystal Mitchell shares her gardening adventures — this week, she’s hunting for horse liniment after digging up snowball bushes. Congratulations to all our graduates, and enjoy the Springtime Festival!
