Ty's Take
Ten years of STEM grants and a new hospitalist at the hospital means somebody around the county office and the healthcare board has been doing their homework, and doing it well. But what really jumps out this week is how seriously the schools are taking their cross country and football programs, the way you can tell a community still believes in what comes next for its kids. Then there's the car hitting that cow out on the Cabool road, and the officer-involved shooting that sent someone to critical care, both reminders that even in a county this size, danger doesn't announce itself before it shows up. We'll keep our eyes on that shooting situation, because those calls always matter, and they always deserve straight answers. For now, the schools and the hospital are doing their part to move us forward.
