Good morning, Pike County. Chillicothe police officers might deserve their own reality TV show based on their recent activity log. In a remarkable 48-hour stretch, the department tackled everything from school zone speeders to Walmart theft rings, assault investigations to animal cruelty complaints. Their packed schedule reads like a small-town crime anthology, with incidents spanning from East 2nd Street to Yoctangee Park as officers criss-crossed the city responding to the full spectrum of human behavior.
Meanwhile, a different kind of community story is unfolding at the Pump House gallery, where Pioneer School artists are proving that creativity knows no boundaries. The exhibition, kicking off Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month, showcases ceramic sculptures created by students with assistance from neighboring business "Biers Run Mudd." The show highlights the Ross County Board of DD's mission of lifelong support "from cradle to grave" and remains open through March for those seeking inspiration beyond the police blotter.

🎨 Pioneer School artists showcase their talents at Pump House gallery. The exhibition, which opened Thursday evening in Chillicothe, marks the beginning of Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month. Students created ceramic sculptures with help from neighboring business "Biers Run Mudd," which is run by the same family who donated the school site. Ross County Board of DD Superintendent Amy Beeler explained that their system serves over 800 people "from cradle to grave," with Pioneer School being one of only about a third of DD boards that still operate schools. The art show runs through the end of March at the Pump House Center for the Arts.
