Good morning, Ross County. Parents, here's one more reason to stock up on bug spray this summer: La Crosse virus — a mosquito-borne illness — has been confirmed right here in Ross and Pickaway counties, with at least two children already testing positive. It's not a reason to panic, but it is a solid nudge to check for standing water, restock the DEET, and keep the little ones covered at dusk.
Closer to town, Chillicothe's finest had a packed shift juggling warrant arrests and traffic crashes — just another busy day on the beat. Nationally, taco night got a little riskier with a Taylor Farms salsa and guacamole recall tied to salmonella. Fresh local real estate listings are also waiting inside if you're in the market to make a move.
