Good morning, Pike County. September 14 was one for the record books at the Chillicothe Police Department, with officers tackling a whirlwind of 17 incidents in a single day. From midnight trespassing calls to evening disturbances at local parks, law enforcement had their hands full with everything from drug possession to protection order violations as they crisscrossed the city responding to the unusual crime spree.
The spirit of community service shines brighter elsewhere in our region. Hundreds flocked to the inaugural Family Health Fair, enjoying face painting and balloon creations while accessing vital resources. Meanwhile, three promising graduates are beginning their college journeys with substantial financial support thanks to the Pike County Retired Teachers' Association. Carson Moore, Rachel Ann Remy, and Phillip Michael Meddock received scholarships totaling $2,000 to pursue their dreams in education and nursing at Ohio and Shawnee State universities.
