Good morning, Gallia County. For over half a century, the Earl Neff Pediatric Fund has been quietly transforming the healthcare experience for thousands of young patients across our region. This remarkable initiative—supported this month by The Medical Shoppe and Farmers Bank—continues its vital mission of providing toys, equipment, and entertainment for children receiving care at Holzer Health System, proving that sometimes the smallest comforts make the biggest difference during challenging times.
Meanwhile, athletic excellence continues to shine brightly throughout the Ohio River Valley. An impressive 22 local softball stars from six area schools have earned spots on the Southeastern District's All-District teams, with standouts like Eastern's Aedre Ault and Gallia Academy's Chloe Bennett garnering additional All-Ohio recognition. And just up the river, Meigs County is celebrating improved accessibility with its new transit hub in Pomeroy, bringing essential services together under one roof after Tuesday's ribbon-cutting ceremony.
