Good morning, Union County. Mark your calendars for September 17 — Medicare experts are coming to town! The Ohio Department of Insurance's OSHIIP program will host a Medicare Checkup event in Marysville, offering seniors valuable guidance on 2026 plan changes and financial assistance options before the crucial October enrollment period begins. This timely assistance arrives just as Delaware County libraries announce their own gift to the community — a 51% increase in operating hours starting September 15, complete with the return of Sunday service and a celebration featuring their mascot Percy Unicorn.
Meanwhile, Bellefontaine High School has launched its search for exceptional graduates to honor with the 2026 Distinguished Alumni Award. If you know someone who graduated at least a decade ago and has achieved notable career success or made meaningful community contributions, nominations are open until December 12.
