    So long, Richard Blankenship, and thanks for the sweatshirt

    “If you were a friend of Richard, you knew it,” said Cincinnati attorney and family friend Tom Tepe. “He could be hard-headed, and he spoke his mind, which wasn’t easily changed. He loved his church, his family, his country and his farm. He was proud of his students’ accomplishments. He loved teaching and coaching. He was my friend, and I will miss him.”

    Brighter days in store for Rocky Fork Lake
    The sun is rising again above Rocky Fork Lake State Park. Recent cause for a renewed optimism and community spirit was followed by a glorious late February sunrise and 77-degree temperatures on Friday, Feb. 24. Thanks to all those – from the taxpayers to private businesses and residents to public officials – for lighting the way forward

    Fairfax community's interesting history
    Of all the villages and communities in Highland County, I suppose I have to admit that I’ve always held Fairfax as one of my favorites. There are many reasons. And there are many stories collected over the past half-century. (Not all of which are suitable for publication.) Kirk Dickey, a longtime Fairfax resident – and former pal of the late Oscar-winning actor John Wayne – recently stopped by The Highland County Press with a little bit of Fairfax history that was news to me.

    Godspeed: Charles William “Bill” Bear (May 19, 1941-Jan. 2, 2017)
    Almost everyone has a Bill Bear story. Or two. Or 10. Surely, everyone in Pricetown and Buford has a Bill Bear story. What a true character. And what a personality.

    Whiskey writers and a young newspaperman in Arkansas
    Welcome to the Fourth Estate, Hayden Taylor. (A word to the wise: You might want to avoid the whiskey writers for at least a couple of decades.)
