Good morning, Ross County. Memorial Day weekend kept local law enforcement on their toes with 14 incidents ranging from domestic disputes to stolen vehicles. While officers were managing everything from early morning calls to evening hit-and-runs, they maintained order during what proved to be a particularly busy holiday weekend—perhaps a reminder that summer's unofficial kickoff brings both celebration and complications to our community.
Looking ahead, Pike County residents should prepare for road disruptions as ODOT begins a bridge replacement project on State Route 220 starting June 2. Meanwhile, a more joyful transition took place at Zane Trace High School, where the class of 2025 celebrated their commencement on May 17. The bittersweet ceremony marked the end of one chapter and the beginning of another for these graduates—whose photos can be found on the Chillicothe Gazette website for those wanting to relive the milestone.
