Ty's Take
You've got a young man in serious condition after a motorcycle wreck, a deputy dealing with a felon and a dead dog, and deer season running lean across the county, but what's sticking with me today is that our high school kids are out there competing like they own the place. The runners put together another strong showing up at Lebanon, the volleyball team keeps rolling, and that's the kind of thing that holds a small town together when the news is mixed. A consignment shop opening downtown and the art club meeting again says something too, about people still trying to build something here instead of just getting by. We'll keep an eye on that motorcycle victim and hope for the best. But right now, in late fall, watching our kids do well at what they do reminds you why you stick around.
