Good morning, Meigs County. Ohio University just landed a serious funding boost to expand healthcare training in rural Ohio — and for a county that knows firsthand how hard it is to keep medical talent close to home, that's genuinely encouraging news. Meanwhile, the global headlines are doing a lot: oil prices surged 6% as Middle East tensions rattled shipping routes, China quietly claimed the world's most powerful supercomputer, and Tulsa took a historic step forward with a $105 million reparations plan for the 1921 Black Wall Street massacre.
On the economic front, jobless claims fell again last week — the soft landing crowd is feeling cautiously smug. The Emmy nominations also dropped, delivering their annual quota of chaos and controversy. When you're ready for something more local and low-stakes, fresh real estate listings are waiting inside.
