A Stark County community is on high alert following the knifepoint abduction of local resident Kayla Marie Giltz. Authorities have issued a missing adult alert as they search for answers, and neighbors remain hopeful she will be brought home safely.

Liberty HealthShare has announced the second round of Sharing Hearts Fund for Pediatric Wellness grants, offering over $50,000 in aid to Stark County families. Applications begin on September 1, building on a previous wave of funding that awarded $17,000 to five local families.
