Good morning, Vinton County. In an era of viral food safety scandals that dominate headlines, Athens County's April restaurant inspections delivered a refreshingly mundane report. Health Department Administrator Jack Pepper confirmed what might be the most welcome kind of non-news: nothing unusual was discovered during routine safety checks at college dining halls and local establishments. Sometimes, no news truly is good news—especially when it comes to what's on our plates.
Determination takes center stage at Wellston's Chic Sassy Shop, where owner Linda Patton refuses to let health challenges close her doors completely. Instead, she's adapting with resilience, transitioning her Unique Finds Bargains and Bins location to weekend-only operations. It's a testament to the spirit of small business owners who find creative ways to preserve their entrepreneurial dreams even when facing personal hurdles—a reminder that flexibility often keeps our favorite local shops alive.
