​

Good morning, Clermont County. Behind every successful business lies a passionate entrepreneur, and DJ Cowboy Jason Yockey embodies this spirit perfectly. As highlighted in Courtney Hineman's vlog, this self-advocate with disabilities has transformed his love for music into a thriving DJ service, proving that determination knows no boundaries. His story arrives alongside news of our Jewish community's powerful journey from remembrance to hope, where the "Wings of Hope" art installation stands as a colorful testament to resilience in difficult times.

Our county also bid farewell to a true hero last week, as thousands gathered to honor Sheriff's Deputy Larry Henderson. After protecting our community for three decades following his Marine Corps service, Henderson's legacy of compassion continues to inspire. Even in retirement, he chose to serve others—most recently becoming a foster parent with his wife—demonstrating that some heroes never truly hang up their capes.
