Good morning, Union County. The crack of drivers and the swoosh of putters filled the air at Cherokee Hills as our Lady Tigers golf team made their mark on the tournament scene. With Olivia Reichardt's impressive 84 tying for fourth-best individual score and earning longest drive honors, the WL-S squad showed they're a force to be reckoned with. Justine Moore added to the team's accolades by landing closest to the pin in what turned out to be a solid seventh-place finish.
From fairways to football fields, local sports are heating up as Fairbanks Panthers prepare for their unusually early season opener on August 21 at Ohio Wesleyan University. While the Panthers ready themselves for Colonel Crawford, a different kind of anticipation hangs over central Ohio as Intel's $28 billion chip factory project faces concerning delays. The promised "Silicon Heartland" appears to be navigating rough waters as local officials closely monitor the situation.

Local officials and policy experts are closely monitoring the situation as Intel attempts to navigate its recovery.
