Good morning, Ross County. The holiday spirit is taking shape early as Integrated Services launches their "Adopt A Teen For The Holidays" initiative, inviting the community to ensure local teenagers aren't forgotten during the festive season. With donations accepted through December 5th at Roweton School, there's ample time to show our young people they're valued members of our community—perhaps the most meaningful gift of all.
Meanwhile, artificial intelligence is becoming less science fiction and more practical reality at Ohio University's Chillicothe campus. Free workshops throughout fall are demystifying tools like ChatGPT for everyday use, with hands-on sessions designed for both beginners and those looking to refine their AI skills. In less uplifting news, a walk toward Yoctangee Park turned into a serious legal matter for two adults now facing child endangerment charges after police observed suspicious behavior while they cared for a child in a stroller.

☕️ What's Brewing Locally
🎁 Local teens need your help for a brighter holiday season. Integrated Services is sponsoring "Adopt A Teen For The Holidays," inviting individuals, families, groups, and businesses to provide gifts for youth who might otherwise miss out on holiday celebrations. The community initiative aims to show local teenagers they are "seen, valued, and cared for" during the festive period. Donations can be dropped off at Roweton School in Chillicothe through December 5th, giving community members plenty of time to participate in this meaningful gesture of kindness.
🤖 Ohio University offers free AI workshops to demystify emerging tech. The Chillicothe campus is hosting two community workshops this fall covering popular AI tools like ChatGPT and effective prompting techniques. Interim Dean Mike Lafreniere explains these sessions aim to make artificial intelligence "approachable and useful for everyone." The introductory "Unlocking the Power of AI" workshop will feature hands-on activities with various AI tools, while the advanced "Mastering AI Prompting" session teaches participants to craft more effective prompts. Both workshops will be held in Bennett Hall with multiple dates available throughout October and November.
💉 Two arrested for drugs near park while caring for child. Chillicothe police apprehended Shawn Olvera and Johna Toney after observing suspicious behavior as they walked toward Yoctangee Park with a child in a stroller. Both suspects showed signs of drug intoxication, with Olvera attempting to conceal a syringe and pills. An employee from a nearby restaurant reported Olvera had been using drugs in the bathroom and allegedly struck staff when confronted. The child was placed with relatives while both adults face child endangerment charges, with Olvera facing additional drug-related offenses.

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.
