Good morning, Meigs County. September 11, 2001 – a date forever etched in our national memory – will be honored this Thursday as Point Pleasant gathers at Riverfront Park for a solemn ceremony commemorating the 2,977 lives lost. The 8:30 a.m. event, organized by the American Legion, offers our community a moment to reflect and remember, with remarks from local leaders including Mayor Tatterson and a keynote from Mason County Homeland Security Director Jeremy Bryant.
Meanwhile, conflict resolution skills are becoming more accessible as Ohio University launches free mediation training this fall. The program teaches valuable conversation facilitation techniques for navigating disagreements – skills that Belpre High's Bella Morrison might appreciate as she masterfully juggles student council responsibilities, mock trial competitions, and cheerleading. The ambitious junior, who's already taking college courses toward her teaching career, demonstrates that effective time management can turn a packed schedule into a platform for personal growth.
