Ty's Take
Saturday's Cancer Walk isn't just another community event—it's the 21st time folks around here have shown up to remember somebody they lost and stand with the ones still fighting. That kind of staying power matters more than most people realize, especially in a town our size where everybody knows somebody. You'll see the same faces year after year, and some new ones too, which tells you something about what this place is made of. The work crews sealing streets this week, the graduation coming up at Early College, the budget meeting so people can have their say about schools—that's all the machinery of a town trying to take care of itself. But Saturday is the heart of it.
