Good morning, Meigs County. Just when winter seems determined to keep us homebound, the Federal Valley Resource Center is swinging open its doors with an irresistible invitation. The historic 1920s auditorium in Stewart is about to transform into a toe-tapping time machine, complete with free swing dance lessons and the vintage sounds of the Ames-Bern Ridge Rounders. There's something magical about watching western swing and jazz bounce off those century-old wooden floors.
Meanwhile, our local sheriff's office is pioneering a program that proves sometimes the best emergency response starts before the call comes in. Their new disability registration system is bringing peace of mind to families across the county, even as today's winter weather reminds us why having smart safety systems in place matters - just ask the temporarily closed health department.
