OhioHealth honoring veterans
MARION - Small American flags now line the new public walking path at OhioHealth Marion General. Associates from the hospital s intensive care unit on Saturday - Armed Forces Day - placed 440 flags along the path as a tribute to veterans. The flags will remain in place through Memorial Day. They were donated by the hospital’s ICU, ER, 4 South and centralized nursing departments.
The .38 mile walking path is eight feet across and located along McKinley Park Boulevard from the corner of Delaware Avenue to McKinley Park. It was funded by the hospital’s TWIG I group in order to leave a wellness legacy. The public is welcome to use the path, open from dawn to dusk every day.

Editorial: H2Ohio needs assured funding to protect Ohio’s precious water resources
The H2Ohio fund created by Gov. Mike DeWine and legislators in 2019 is a critical long-term work in progress. It aims, most prominently, at reducing, and eventually ending, dangerous toxic algal blooms in western Lake Erie by creating more local accountability on phosphorus-reduction plans, more farmer buy-in, improved monitoring of streams and rivers, widened use of agricultural best practices and the creation of new wetlands and other buffers.
But that’s far from H2Ohio’s totality. The program also seeks to ensure that both Ohioans and the state’s priceless freshwater resources are protected amid soaring water infrastructure costs, as price tags climb for lead service-line replacements, mandated septic-system upgrades, and modernized drinking-water and wastewater treatment plants.

Those who care about the well-being and quality of life of Ohioans and about the state’s future prosperity should recognize how critical H2Ohio is to the calculus of both. That means sustained, meaningful funding for this initiative if not by the legislature, then through a bond issue, writes the editorial board of The Plain Dealer and cleveland.com in an editorial today.
