Great news today about expansion of eligibility of vaccines in Ohio but again, we need to keep in mind who is being left behind. We have people age 60+ who still have no clue how to get signed up for the vaccine.

I wrote a story about the time I got lost outside Glouster while trying to find a source for my capstone project. I mention my experience of trying to drive through graveled, muddy roads. Athens County's unpaved roads are no joke! Check it out! #valleyreality
Our @alejandro_rfig looks at a "black diamonds" tale in Glouster, Athens County. "For me, there’s something captivating about the story and the experiences lived by the people that once spent hours digging for coal," he writes. #valleyreality valleyreality.org/finding-sa…

WATCH: I was blown away by 4 Athens HS seniors being able to be gracious about having their spring sport canceled. "We aren't the only ones being impacted. We have to find ways to be there for others too." "This isn't the end. We all have big plans ahead." @BobcatShowcase

Any kind gesture - even one free meal a day - can make such an impact. With the help of over 50 donations from people/organizations in Athens Co., @Brenens has provided 30-35 meals a day. That's 750-875 free meals served in the Athens community. Amazing! @OUtlet_WOUB @woubnews
