I just wrote a story about an agency that&#8217;s main goal is helping seniors &#8220;&#8230;age in place&#8221; for as long as possible.  It has satellite activity centers throughout the county, provides rides for doctor&#8217;s visits, or to get groceries, or to go to the bank&#8230;  In fact, in 2023, figures show 16 agency part-time drivers logged 164,313 miles doing all that.  The agency is subsidized by property tax levies, and the United Way.  The agency also offers: Chore Services; Health &amp; Wellness programs; Telephone Reassurance; a Medical Equipment Loan Closet&#8230;  It&#8217;s actually pretty impressive in its scope&#8230;  I also wrote a story about the non-profit organization &#8220;Friends of Ohio Barns.&#8221;  Groups involved with this are in all 88 counties of Ohio and their mission is to work to save\/restore old barns &#8212; to maintain, not only the structures, but the heritage.  One of the local barns cited in the article was built in 1844, in a Pennsylvania Swiss style.  It even had some old wooden pins, instead of nails.  Our platform is big on restoration and maintaining heritage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Helping folks &#8220;Age in place&#8221; Catching up on Jan.
