Good morning, Union County. Did you know that a silent epidemic is affecting one in four adults worldwide? Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease has become a global health concern, but there's hope—early stages are reversible through modest lifestyle changes. Just ask Pam Miller, who's defied her six-year prognosis since 2001 through clinical trials at Ohio State, proving that awareness and action can make all the difference.
Meanwhile, summer opportunities abound across our community. Richwood-North Union Public Library invites readers of all ages to transform leisure reading into exciting prizes through their Summer Reading Club. And in our schools, agricultural education is flourishing under Shari Anderson's leadership at Marysville High School, where her dedication has propelled the FFA chapter into the national spotlight and created valuable pathways for students to connect classroom learning with real-world agricultural careers.

🌾 Shari Anderson transforms agricultural education at Marysville High School. As department head of the Agricultural Science pathway, she has introduced college credit courses and internship opportunities with local industry partners. Under her leadership, the school's FFA chapter has earned national recognition, ranking among the top 10 chapters nationwide.

A Marysville native herself, Anderson arrives early and stays late daily, embodying servant leadership that has earned respect from both staff and students.
🔍 Silent killer threatens one in four adults worldwide. Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease has transformed from a niche concern into a global epidemic, affecting over 25% of adults. Pam Miller was given just six years to live when diagnosed at stage four in 2001, yet she continues fighting through clinical trials at Ohio State. Though often symptomless until advanced stages, the condition can lead to cirrhosis or liver cancer if untreated. The good news: early-stage fatty liver disease is reversible through modest weight loss, healthy eating, and regular physical activity.
