Blood shortage threatens Athens County blood drive
Athens County faces a precarious position if the Red Cross Bloodmobile fails to meet the 150 pint quota at the Monday visit. A 596 unit year-long shortfall and summer high need push donations, with 17 year olds eligible with consent. Paramythia Lodge sponsors the event at First Methodist Church from 10 AM to 4 PM.

Union Leader Sees Small Hike Failing to End Walkout
Arnold Fee of the Lebanon Correctional Institution says a 31 cent hourly raise is too small to satisfy striking workers. About 270 inmates continue the job action at LCI unless pay is guaranteed in writing. Legislative approval of the raise could avert a statewide correctional strike, with the item slated for a Columbus budget meeting amid an $80 million state surplus.
