Good morning, Gallia County. Football legend Jim Tressel is trading the Buckeye sidelines for the political spotlight as Ohio's Lieutenant Governor headlines the upcoming Lincoln-Reagan Day Dinner in Gallipolis. The former coach, who led Ohio State to a national championship in 2002, brings his leadership experience to a new field as he focuses on education and workforce development across the state. Local Republicans can secure tickets for $40 to hear from the man who once orchestrated victories on the gridiron and now helps shape Ohio's future.

Academic excellence is taking center stage at Buckeye Hills Career Center, where an impressive 61 students recently earned their places in prestigious honor societies. The dual induction ceremony welcomed nine students to the National Honor Society and fifty-two to the National Technical Honor Society, celebrating both traditional academic achievement and technical skill mastery. These dedicated young scholars represent the bright future of our community as they balance rigorous studies with career preparation.
