Ross County Courthouse will not shine with holiday lights this year

CHILLICOTHE— Every year, buildings in Downtown Chillicothe are covered in lights and winter decorations as community members celebrate Christmas. This year will be a little different, though, since the Ross County Courthouse won't be lit up due to construction. More from the Gazette: Construction to continue in Yoctangee Park for new visitors bureau Construction on the courthouse is currently taking place to restore parts of the historic building, including the roof, clock tower, and more. Construction is scheduled to be finished by the end of the year. The gutter repair project is underway next to the lights that follow the perimeter of the building and the scaffolding will block the columns, which are also usually wrapped in lights. So, in order to keep workers safe and limit any hazards, the decision not to light up the courthouse for Christmas was made. The Ross County Commissioners did agree earlier this year that they would at least like a tree in front of the courthouse if it would not be in the way of workers.

CHILLICOTHE— After months of construction work, the Yoctangee Park improvements are officially over. City officials and parkgoers gathered to celebrate this occasion as the armory, amphitheater, baseball diamonds, and multi-purpose building officially opened for use.

Army captain to community orthodontist, Brad Pendell's unexpected journey home

CHILLICOTHE— Dr. Brad Pendell thought he knew exactly how his life would unfold when he left Waverly for college. Instead, a scholarship sent him around the world, introduced him to lifelong friends, led him to his future wife and ultimately brought him back home to build the orthodontic practice he'd dreamed about since middle school. More from the Gazette: Chillicothe veteran turned his darkest moment into lifeline for others While in college, Pendell met with recruiters for several branches of the military who were offering scholarships to dental students. Despite his father and grandfather having both served, joining the military wasn't something Pendell had ever really thought about. However, a two-year scholarship helped change his mind. Soon he was serving as a dental captain in the Army and training to become an orthodontist. He served from 1992 to 2000 and traveled to various bases in the United States and was even stationed in Japan and Korea for multiple years. While much of his day-to-day work revolved around dentistry, Pendell was still a service member and had to train like one. He said going into the military taught him a lot of new skills; it also showed him what he was

FBI agent who investigated Ohio's biggest public corruption cases dies

Retired FBI Special Agent Jeff Williams, who led significant investigations into corrupt public officeholders in Ohio, died Nov. 5 after a long fight with colorectal cancer. He was 57. In 2006, the Federal Bureau of Investigation brought Williams back to his hometown of Columbus to establish and lead a public corruption squad that would focus on state and local governments. His team made cases against a deputy state treasurer who fled to Pakistan , a Cincinnati city councilman who later received a presidential pardon , two sitting members of the Ohio House and others. The public knew little of Williams’ work because special agents avoid the limelight and work in near anonymity. Williams' biggest – and last – case of his 23-year career was a $61 million scheme to return Republican Larry Householder to power in the Ohio House and pass a $1.3 billion bailout bill to benefit Akron-based FirstEnergy Corp. It was the largest public corruption case in state history. Householder was the last person Williams put his handcuffs on, when the speaker was arrested in July 2020 on his Perry County farm . Householder is now serving a 20-year sentence in federal prison. The case interrupted what would
