    In this October 4th edition of the ShortCut, we honor the late George Giles, a beloved member of the Aspermont community, whose dedication kept the Meals on Wheels program running. With his passing, the service urgently needs volunteers to continue supporting residents in need. We encourage the community to step up in his memory.


    We’ll also cover key topics from recent town hall meetings, including Aspermont and Rotan ISD's upcoming bond proposals for school improvements and teacher housing. In Fisher County, officials are grappling with rising animal control issues, including an increase in stray dogs and incidents of bites, with solutions still in the works.


    And later, we'll dive into the latest local sports updates. Stay tuned!
