Good morning, Meigs County. February may be the shortest month, but our community's commitment to positive change is reaching new heights. At Ohio University's Alumni Gateway, students are channeling the spirit of generations past, rallying against legislation they believe threatens the diverse fabric of our academic community. Their QR codes and determination are proving that activism in 2024 comes with both passion and technology.
On the healthcare front, OhioHealth O'Bleness Hospital is turning lunch into a life-saving opportunity, offering free lung cancer screenings complete with complimentary meals. And if you're looking for weekend inspiration, tune your dial to WOUB 1340 AM, where Radio Free Athens is serving up the soundtrack to our community's story - one volunteer DJ at a time. Who knew Saturday mornings could sound this good?

☕️ What's Brewing Locally
✊ Ohio University students rally against anti-diversity legislation at Alumni Gateway. The protest, organized by three masters students, aimed to fight Senate Bill 1 (now House Bill 6) and recent federal actions threatening DEI initiatives. Demonstrators distributed QR codes linking to resources and contact information for relevant representatives. Students like Michael Rohs emphasized the historical importance of student protests in driving social change. Local residents joined the cause, warning that attacks on diversity programs could divide communities and distract from larger societal issues.
🫁 Free lung cancer screenings offered at Ohio hospital, lunch included! OhioHealth O'Bleness Hospital is hosting a special screening event on March 1st, 2025, targeting current and former smokers aged 50-80. The two-hour event includes complimentary lunch and gifts for participants who meet the screening criteria of 20-pack year smoking history. Most insurance plans and Medicare cover the screening costs, but registration and physician orders are required by February 17th. Interested participants can call (740) 566-4547 to secure their spot and get assistance with obtaining necessary medical orders.
🎵 Community radio brings diverse voices to Athens airwaves every Saturday.

The format-free, host-driven program gives community members creative freedom to curate their own content. Listeners can tune in traditionally through AM radio or stream the broadcasts online.
