CHILLICOTHE — In 1992, Stacey Gordon graduated as one of the top students in her class from Chillicothe High School. Now, she is a published author celebrating the release of her new book, "The Pearl Farmers." Gordon grew up in Chillicothe before attending Ohio University. She said creative fiction writing has always been something she enjoyed in and out of school. "My lifelong dream has been to write a novel," said Gordon. After graduating, Gordon started working for magazines and quickly started working with organizations as they transitioned into the online era. This led to her working in the tech field, she is currently employed by Meta and has previously worked for Google. When she worked for a magazine, Gordon covered the cultured pearl jewelry industry, where she traveled the world and got to know those involved in the trade. Despite a shift in her career, Gordon said she still had all of this knowledge from her reporting days "rattling around" in her head. She put this knowledge to use when she started her book in 2010. She would continue to work on the project for many years before finally hunkering down and forcing herself to complete the first draft

Perry County Courthouse renovation earns state historic preservation award

The transformation of an aging 19th-century landmark into a building equipped for modern use has earned statewide recognition. The Perry County Courthouse was one of 12 historic preservation achievements across Ohio honored Nov. 6 with the Ohio History Connection’s 2026 State Historic Preservation Office Awards. The awards recognize projects that demonstrate the value of historic preservation through rehabilitation, stewardship, research and public engagement. According to the Ohio History Connection, the recipients exemplify how thoughtful preservation can strengthen communities while ensuring historic resources remain accessible for future generations. Built in 1887 and designed by architect Richard Yost, the Perry County Courthouse is an example of Richardsonian Romanesque architecture. A two-year, multimillion-dollar renovation sought to modernize the building without losing its historical architectural features. Renovations included upgrades to accessibility, restrooms, courtrooms and office space, while preserving and restoring some of the courthouse’s most significant architectural elements. One of the most visible projects was the restoration of the grand interior staircase. Part of the staircase was removed in the 1960s to make room for an elevator. As part of the renovation, new cast iron stringers, balustrades, medallions and newel posts were fabricated to match the historic pieces that remain. The courthouse’s main entrance
