This past week s weather has made us - and we suspect most of you - ready for summer.
Temperatures nearing 80 degrees with bright sunshine helped generate smiles across Licking County as we move towards a post-pandemic life.
New CDC guidelines and Ohio regulations have lifted most of the COVID-19 restrictions we ve borne over the past 14 months. Restaurants and shops no longer need to require masks for vaccinated customers, sports and entertainment venues will soon no longer need to restrict capacity and people are largely allowed to return to their activities enjoyed pre-pandemic.
Of course this doesn t mean COVID-19 is completely over. Unfortunately, it may never truly be gone with large segments of the population expressing skepticism or outright antipathy toward the vaccine.

Show Me Hope Crisis Counseling Program’s free event will begin at 3 p.m. and is designed to raise awareness and remove stigmas associated with mental health in the community during Mental Health Awareness Month, where nearly one in five adults in the U.S. live with mental health disorders.
In addition to the walk and run, there will be food available for purchase, including burgers, hot dogs and baked goods. Local vendors will be on hand to display their products, and community mental health partners will distribute information about local services.
