Good morning, Jackson County. Seventy-five years of summer memories came flooding back as Canter's Cave 4-H Camp filled to the brim with generations of campers last month. Like rings in a tree trunk, each decade represented at the anniversary banquet told stories of friendships forged around campfires, skills learned in workshops, and traditions passed down like precious heirlooms. The packed Main Lodge buzzed with the kind of energy that only decades of shared experiences can generate.
Meanwhile, change ripples through our community leadership landscape. While Wellston City Council navigates its February session with notable absences, Vinton County Schools prepares to bid farewell to a familiar face. Superintendent Rick Brooks, who's guided thousands of students toward brighter futures since 2013, announced his retirement plans - marking the end of an era in local education.
