She is FIV positive (a virus spread only by deep bite wounds) so she must remain indoors and receive regular vaccines.

Athens County signed an agreement with Kokosing Solar to install solar panels at the 911 Emergency Communications Center — Emergency Management Agency.

A satirical column criticized Ohio University’s campus roads for having four large potholes on South Green Drive that force drivers to swerve and risk vehicle damage while experts explain that water seeping into cracks during freeze+thaw cycles worsens the conditions.
