Good morning, Ross County. Bloody assaults, public urination, and truck drivers ignoring road signs—it's been quite the eventful week for Chillicothe police officers. From responding to a dozen incidents in a single day to issuing citations to three truckers who decided GPS trumps clearly posted "No Truck Route" signs, local law enforcement certainly hasn't lacked for excitement. The incidents highlight a concerning trend of drivers relying on technology while disregarding actual traffic restrictions designed to keep residential areas safe.
Fortune smiled on at least one local resident this week, as a lucky Waverly customer pocketed a $50,000 prize from the Ohio Lottery's "$500,000 Bankroll" scratch-off game. After taxes, they'll take home about $36,000—not too shabby for a $10 ticket purchased at Par-Mar on U.S. Route 23 North. With 15 more $50,000 prizes still unclaimed and two top prizes of $500,000 out there, perhaps more Ross County residents will soon be celebrating unexpected windfalls.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
