The Grant County Middle School students and staff, parents and community members recently had a family fun and fitness night at the GCMS gym.
The guest speaker, Justin Baker, owner of Body Works Gym, encouraged all the guests to “believe in themselves” in order to enjoy a better quality of life, which includes eating nutritional foods and exercising.

I used to have a visceral response to lush spring grass; it gave me anxiety because I knew it was time to get on the Scag and start mowing (and usually the Scag would not start coming out of winter storage.)  This year, I see the grass in a different way because it is potential pasture for the growing herd of sheep. We use moveable, electrified fence and rotational grazing methods to keep the pasture and the herd healthy so the more grass I have the better. It is a liberating feeling not worrying about getting the grass mowed.

Firefighters from four departments battled a blaze on April 20 on Cobblestone Drive in Dry Ridge.
According to Dry Ridge Fire Chief Tom Jump, the fire began in a dryer and ignited an oxygen tank nearby, which caused the tank to explode.

The fire and explosion occurred around 3:39 p.m.
Jump said the explosion knocked the front window out of the home, as well as caused damage to the adjoining duplex.
