Michael and Ashley Price of Baltimore, Ohio, wish to announce the birth of their first child, a son, Lowell Robert Price. Lowell was expected March 18, 2021, but surprised everyone with an early arrival on Dec. 31, 2020. The little guy only weighed 3 pounds, 7 ounces and measured 16 inches long at birth.

Celebrating St. Patrick’s Day
By Vickie Rhodehamel - Arcanum News for the week of March 15, 2021
Celebrating St. Patrick’s Day is not the same when you are grieving, in fact, nothing is. If you are missing a loved one, I just wanted you to know that I will be thinking of you. This will be my second widowed St. Patrick’s Day. Although it is not my intention to walk around under a cloud of doom, I cannot help having some resentment when I hear well-intended “Happy St. Patrick’s Day” greetings, along with every other “happy this” or “happy that” greeting in the first couple of years after suffering the loss of my spouse. Sure, I wanted to be happy, but grief is not a happy process.
