Good morning, Pike County. Flags across Scioto County are flying at half-staff today, honoring the life and public service of Commissioner Cathy Coleman. Governor DeWine's order extends to key government buildings in Columbus until sunset on July 11, marking a solemn moment of recognition for a dedicated public servant who made her mark on our neighboring community.
Meanwhile, a fascinating glimpse into our region's industrial heritage has emerged through a nostalgic photo gallery of Chillicothe's historic paper mill. The collection traces the facility's journey through various owners—from Mead to Glatfelter to Pixelle—while capturing pivotal moments like the 1998 labor disputes. These archival treasures, including a special 1946 centennial celebration section, serve as powerful reminders of how deeply the papermaking tradition is woven into the fabric of our regional identity.
