Good morning, Pike County. The heartbeat of a community is often measured by how we respond when neighbors need help. Ross County's Hope Clinic is sending out an urgent call for medical volunteers as patient numbers continue to climb, reminding us that sometimes the most valuable resource isn't funding or facilities – it's simply showing up. They'll provide the training; you provide the commitment of just one Monday per month to make a tangible difference in someone's healthcare journey.
Meanwhile, Monday delivered a splash of drama when a dirt bike chase ended with Jonathan Lewis taking an unplanned creek plunge after fleeing deputies. On a warmer note, Pike Outreach's Valentine Dinner fundraiser proved that love truly conquers all, selling out completely this year. With the Waverly Leo Club serving guests and community support overflowing, it seems Pike County knows how to pour its heart into worthy causes year-round.

❤️🩹 Ross County's Hope Clinic urgently needs medical volunteers. The clinic is seeking individuals to commit to one Monday per month to help meet growing healthcare demands in the community. No medical degree is required to volunteer, as the clinic will provide training on taking vitals and other necessary skills. Those interested can apply through the clinic's website at www.hopeclinicfree.org. The call for volunteers comes as patient numbers continue to increase, highlighting the essential role community members play in supporting local healthcare access.
🏍️ Dirt bike rider's creek plunge ends police chase in Ross County. Jonathan Lewis was arrested Monday night after fleeing deputies who attempted to stop him for crossing the center line on Blain Highway. After initially stopping and providing his Social Security number, Lewis tried to escape on foot when deputies discovered his suspended license and outstanding warrant. Deputy Morgan deployed his Taser, but Lewis broke free and continued running until he stumbled into a creek where he surrendered. He now faces charges of obstructing official business and resisting arrest in addition to his previous warrant.
❤️ Pike Outreach's Valentine Dinner fundraiser sold out completely this year. The second annual event, held on February 14, successfully raised funds for the organization's mission and ministry. Operations Manager Sherre Kinnison expressed deep gratitude to everyone who supported the event and is already looking forward to next year's dinner. The Waverly Leo Club provided serving assistance throughout the evening, helping to create a special atmosphere for all guests who attended.
