​

Good morning, Fayette County. The digital landscape of community resources just expanded with Highland County's launch of highlandhelps.com – a one-stop hub connecting residents to everything from substance abuse support to housing assistance. This grant-funded initiative arrives just as the county prepares to make history of a different kind, with plans to create a living memorial through the America 250 celebration. Imagine those white oak saplings, sponsored by each township, growing tall as future generations reflect on our nation's journey.

Football fever has officially arrived as Circleville Tigers clawed back from a halftime deficit to defeat Washington CH 35-27 in their Route 22 rivalry showdown. Ray Ezell's standout performance earned him "Player of the Game" honors, while perfect weather conditions set the stage for what promises to be an ideal Labor Day weekend. With temperatures reaching a comfortable 79 degrees by Monday, those outdoor celebrations couldn't ask for a better forecast.
