Snow blankets Athens County again as motorists adapt
Snow blanketed Athens County for the second time this week and motorists grew accustomed to slick roads. The State Highway Patrol noted few accidents by 9 a.m., with a jackknifed truck on Route 550 as the major incident. Two inches fell and schools were largely closed while road crews cleared sites and reopened main highways by early morning.

County Election Costs Increase in Athens County
Athens County Board of Elections faces potential red ink from higher than expected ballots and advertising costs for the November election. Director William Howe notes most voters used at least nine ballots due to amendments and levy issues, with total expenses about 30,279 dollars, up from years past. State reimbursement is expected for some costs, but amendment proposal costs remain uncertain, totaling an estimated 10 to 12 thousand dollars.
