🏃‍♀️ Monarchs in motion

Union County • October 21, 2025

Local Brew Logo
​

Good morning, Union County. Fall sports glory has arrived as Bunsold Middle School's cross country teams make their mark at the Ohio State Championships. The Lady Monarchs captured fourth place overall, establishing themselves as Central Ohio's premier squad with four runners placing in the top 30. Meanwhile, the boys weren't far behind, securing an impressive sixth-place finish in a display of athletic excellence that caps off a perfect season in Ohio Capital Conference dual meets.

While young athletes race toward victory, local infrastructure faces its own marathon of changes. U.S. 42 southbound closes this week until Fall 2025, joining SR 736 which is already undergoing a 120-day bridge replacement. And for those interested in shaping educational leadership, the Fairbanks school board invites community members to meet the three unopposed candidates at Monday's pre-meeting event—democracy in action right here at home.
