The closure of Ohio Valley Manor Home Health that took place late last year left several home health care workers without jobs, but thanks to Small Town Home Health Solutions’ decision to expand services by hiring additional employees, home health care will continue for a number of local clients who received home care through Ohio Valley Manor Home Health.

Matt’s Take – Pitchers and Catchers Report, Baseball is Here!

Sports Brown County Press - February 12, 2025

The sun is shining, warmer days are ahead, and pitchers and catchers have officially reported. “Hey Alexa, play ‘The Boys are Back in Town’ by Thin Lizzy on high volume.” I am excited to see some sessions from the pitching staff and it’s a massive relief to know we have Trevino over Maile this time around as a backup catcher.
