Good morning, Scioto County. Across the river in Lawrence County, tomorrow's local leaders are getting hands-on civics lessons today. High school juniors and seniors are walking the courthouse halls, shadowing officials, and attending commission meetings as part of the Civic Scholars Fellowship – learning government doesn't just happen in textbooks but in everyday decisions that shape our communities. These students are already thinking beyond graduation, with aspirations spanning medicine, military service, and business ownership.
Heart health awareness doesn't end with February, as Paintsville Kiwanis Club members recently discovered during a potentially life-saving AED demonstration. UK King's Daughters medical staff walked concerned citizens through the surprisingly simple process of using these devices, which are increasingly available in public spaces throughout our region. Meanwhile, residents with burning questions about local issues will soon have their chance at an upcoming town forum – though we're still waiting on those crucial when-and-where details.

🏛️ High school students get hands-on government experience in Lawrence County. The Lawrence County Civic Scholars Fellowship program invited junior and senior students to shadow county officials and attend commission meetings to learn about local governance. Participants spent time at the courthouse, introducing themselves to commissioners who encouraged their career aspirations, whether in medicine, military service, or business. The program requires scholars to complete projects using design thinking principles and present their work at the end of the fellowship. This year's cohort includes students from multiple high schools across the county who will gain valuable leadership skills through their courthouse internships.
🏙️ Town forum will answer residents' burning questions. The Daily Independent reports an upcoming community meeting designed to address local concerns. While the article headline indicates a town forum is scheduled, specific details about the date, location, and topics to be discussed are not provided in the available text. The forum appears to be organized as an opportunity for community members to get information and clarity on matters of local importance.
❤️ Life-saving AED education comes to Paintsville Kiwanis Club. UK King's Daughters Medical Center staff conducted a demonstration on automatic external defibrillators during Heart Health Month, addressing members' concerns about using the devices in emergencies. Nurse practitioner Gabe Smith explained heart disease symptoms and provided step-by-step instructions on AED operation, emphasizing these devices are designed for anyone to use without prior training. Wilson highlighted that AEDs are widely available in public locations including schools, libraries, and shopping centers, making this knowledge particularly valuable. Though February has ended, KDMC reminds everyone that heart health awareness remains important year-round.
