NEW YORK (AP) — The moon will appear slightly larger and brighter tonight during what’s known as a supermoon.  October’s supermoon is the first of three this year. It happens when a full moon is closer to Earth in its orbit. That makes the moon look up to 14% bigger and 30% brighter than the faintest moon of the year, according to NASA.  Everyone in the world can see a supermoon without special equipment if clear skies permit.

ASHLAND - The City of Ashland is considering the feasibility of buying the closed Northland College campus to prevent it from becoming a "ghost property" now that the college is no more. Consultant Michelle Reeves from CIVILIS Consultants is assessing the 130-acre campus's feasibility for reuse, noting its turnkey spaces. Reeves will collaborate with officials, gather information, and discuss financing with State Rep. Angela Stroud’s office to identify revenue streams and financial constraints for a "rapid reuse plan." The final step involves determining the plan's cost and financial viability, including potential city financing. Reeves expects completion by late October or early November.
