Good morning, Scioto County. Law enforcement in Carter County has been extraordinarily busy, with a sweeping operation resulting in 30 arrests in just one week. From assault charges to drug possession, the mid-October crackdown represents a significant push to address various criminal activities across the community—a stark reminder of ongoing public safety challenges that continue to demand attention from local authorities.
On a lighter note, the region's cultural calendar is filling with must-attend events. Kentucky's hometown heroes Sundy Best will bring their Appalachian-influenced sound to Ashland's Paramount Arts Center this December, while the Ceredo Volunteer Fire Department celebrates a quarter-century of pasta-powered fundraising with their annual spaghetti dinner. The latter event's return to sit-down service marks another step in community gatherings returning to pre-pandemic traditions, with every plate served supporting essential emergency services.
