Built for Generations. Chillicothe unveils Yoctangee Park improvements

CHILLICOTHE— After months of construction work, the Yoctangee Park improvements are officially over. City officials and parkgoers gathered to celebrate this occasion as the armory, amphitheater, baseball diamonds, and multi-purpose building officially opened for use. Previously, the city also celebrated the opening of the new skate park , new pickleball courts and the refurbished tennis courts. “These improvements represent an incredible investment in our community and the future of Chillicothe,” said Chillicothe Mayor Luke Feeney. “Yoctangee Park has always been a place where our community comes together, and this project creates even more opportunities for families to gather, enjoy recreational activities, and take part in events throughout the year. We are incredibly proud of what has been accomplished and excited to welcome everyone to experience all that these new spaces have to offer.” The $35 million project was funded largely by the Appalachian Community Grant Program. Much of what was added to the park came from resident suggestions gathered during the comprehensive plan process. Gov. Mike DeWine joined the celebration, stating this is what he hoped to see from communities when he started the program − big dreams and a commitment to making the region better. "First, I'll thank all

These are the top 21 nursing homes in Cincinnati area, says U.S. News

Cincinnati was among the top 50 cities for best nursing homes , according to U.S. News, with 21 facilities in the area being listed as high performers. Out of the 156 nursing homes in the metro area, 127 were rated based on their performance in short-term rehabilitation, long-term rehabilitation or both. Of those rated, 24 were recognized as the best in either short-term or long-term care, and seven were deemed best in both areas. In this year's report from U.S. News & World Report, researchers looked at over 14,600 nursing homes in all 50 states and Washington, D.C., assessing 17 different areas, such as staffing consistency and clinical safety outcomes. Findings show that patients at top performing nursing homes for short-term care experienced 19% fewer emergency room visits than the national average, and those at the best long-term care facilities had 21% fewer hospital readmissions compared to other facilities. The best nursing homes also had higher staff-to-resident ratios and offered double the amount of physical therapy. See below for a full list of the region's top performing nursing homes.

I was the first woman nominated Ohio governor. My defeat didn't mean what I feared | Opinion

Nan Whaley, the former mayor of Dayton, was the 2022 Democratic nominee for Ohio governor. The week after the 2024 election, I travelled with a large group of women from Dayton to New York City to see the Broadway show "Suffs." The show is based on the story of the decades-long fight for the passage of the constitutional amendment for women to have the right to vote in our country. After the loss of Kamala Harris and my own loss for governor in 2022, I felt beat down and hopeless about women ever being able to reach the highest levels of elected executive office. Suffs resonated deeply with me. The show’s finale is a song titled “ Keep Marching ." “You won't live to see the future that you fight for; Maybe no one gets to reach that perfect day.” That was the reminder I needed. My favorite line in the song is “... progress is possible, not guaranteed; It will only be made if we keep marching; Keep marching on.” I saw my wildest dreams In the dark days of 2024, after so many losses in Ohio and around the country, this song became my mantra of why I
