As HAH prepares to celebrate its 50th anniversary in a couple of years, it's no surprise that various things around the "The Hills" need some attention to prepare for the upcoming decades.  And as a member owned-and-operated community, it's important to note and recognize the volunteer efforts th...

   After attending a closing on the square for clients purchasing some acreage in the Hocking Hills, the vibrant and invigorating fall colors and temperature suggested a brisk walk through at least a portion of Lancaster's Historic District.  Fortunately, the camera was ready and waiting...am ama...

 Folks also often ask about wired home internet access in the community, along with cable and satellite TV.  Since Time Warner has now taken over the operation of the community's cable system, we can direcly compare things as well as anticipate what's likely to happen in the relatively near futur...

Like others in the community, we were disappointed to see that prospects for a successful end to the negotiations between the school board and teachers union (Hilliard Education Association) dimmed last week when the teachers voted overwhelmingly against the board's last offer....which was to be ...
