🎬 Hitchcock happens

Union County • October 1, 2025

​

Good morning, Union County. Alfred Hitchcock once claimed "There is no terror in the bang, only in the anticipation of it" — a sentiment Marysville film enthusiasts can experience firsthand this October. The Avalon Theatre's four-week Directors Series brings the master of suspense's most iconic thrillers back to the big screen, from the psychological twists of Vertigo to the shower scene that forever changed cinema in Psycho.

While Hitchcock delivers the chills, local wallets are getting some welcome relief as gas prices drop 12 cents across South Central Ohio, bringing our regional average to $2.93 per gallon. On a more serious note, Medina schools have implemented a 24/7 anonymous helpline for students facing personal struggles, providing immediate counselor access via phone, website or mobile app — a critical resource after county assessments revealed concerning youth mental health statistics.

⛽ Gas prices drop 12 cents in South Central Ohio. The region's average price for unleaded self-serve gasoline has fallen to $2.933 per gallon, according to AAA East Central.

📞 Medina schools offer 24/7 anonymous helpline for struggling students. The Safe School Helpline provides immediate access to counselors for students dealing with personal issues or concerned about friends. District officials are raising awareness about this resource after a county assessment revealed 14.3% of local youth considered suicide last year. The helpline, accessible via website, phone (800-4-1-VOICE, ext. 359), or mobile app, allows users to remain anonymous while reporting concerns. While also useful for school safety issues, officials emphasize that emergencies still warrant calling 911.
