In September community members cleaned Bolinger Playground to restore an asset to the town after years of neglect. Malik Hooker, son of Angela Dennis, joined the effort, traveling from Columbus to help and inspire youths. Local groups like United Way and New Visions for Lawrence County support similar revitalization projects amid economic challenges. The county commissioners contributed 5000 dollars to the Bolinger project, with attorney Dallas W. Hartman matching donations. The piece closes urging broader community involvement and reflecting on shared civic duties.
