Postal service seeks permanent site in Cadiz SATURDAY, MAY 12, 2018

CADIZ – Monday, representative David Wolff who specializes in real estate matters for the U.S. Postal service appeared before Cadiz’s village council for a special gathering to discuss the matter of a permanent site for the village’s post office. Right now a temporary post office sits at the site of the West Gate offices of the Harrison Hills Board of Education site since late winter. Not much was accomplished but ideas were discussed with one surprising idea, which came mostly from Wolff’s end and that is for the post office to share a building with the Cadiz government officials in a new municipal building.
“He was pushing that more than we were,” Mayor Ken Zitko recalled. Zitko stated they toured about five locations and he said all needed something done, either major work or something torn down. But he added that it was all good and each location had its advantages and disadvantages. He also stated that to be fair, it was Wolff’s first trip to Cadiz as he traveled in from North Carolina so he really didn’t know the area or what to expect. He said Wolff’s original plan was to bring in an architect but he couldn’t make it in, which Zitko felt might have been a nice addition when touring the various sites. Zitko said Wolff liked the idea of putting a post office at the square, now the site of an empty field where the old
Mr. Fish building used to sit. “I give him credit for coming so quickly,” Zitko said referring to the fact that the temporary post office has only been up and running since earlier in the year. “I’ve been in government and I know what it takes.” Village Administrator Charley Bowman spoke briefly on the subject and noted the interest Wolff had in finding a permanent location, as well as working with the village in doing so. “ere’s no hard and fast timeline,” he said of the search. As far as the joint location of sharing a building with the post office, Bowman said it would work with the overall uptown plan.

New Athens talks of extending its boundaries By JD LONG
jim@harrisonnewsherald.com
NEW ATHENS – Mayor Joe Petro brought up the issue of the village changing its boundary lines at last Tuesday’s council meeting. When Village Solicitor Travis Collins asked who was inquiring he was told it was the census bureau. Arnold said they hadn’t “but we should” when Petro asked. “We started working on that years ago but it just fell away.” He said they would like to expand the corporation’s limits “clear out to the Belmont County line” in several directions including out past Stumptown and towards Cadiz. He said they have water out that way and it would be good for picking up more tax dollars. Collins informed them that if they did it would include them providing sewage service to the included homes, which put the brakes on that idea, though it wasn’t clear if that meant in every direction they referred to on the map. Talk turned to expense for pipes per mileage and Petro complained of how many government entities have their finger in things, where the EPA and the Department of Natural Resources were mentioned as examples. “Unless we changed our name to one of these gas companies and then we can do anything then,” council member Matt Litman said, with which Petro agreed. “at’s what it is, everybody’s got their finger in the pie and it makes things more complicated,” Petro said. Collins speculated that companies could charge “a lot” when they

Established chiropractor begins treating patients in Cadiz By JD LONG

CADIZ – New blood has been inserted into the Cadiz chiropractic profession upon Dr. Robert Stevens’ retirement last year. And through his many decades of serving the community Dr. Stevens was able to form a few relationships within his own profession, as people in professional circles often do. One particular relationship he had with Dr. Gregory M. McDonnell who already has an office in Steubenville, led Greg and his wife Amy to move into Steven’s old office at 109 East Market Street in Cadiz.

After several months of renovations they are up and fully running under the name of Cadiz Chiropractic. e whole office has a more modern feel to it with a roomier lobby and soft colors. Stevens recommended the move where Greg, lured by the country life, jumped on it and where it also turned into an expansion as he continues his practice in Steubenville as well. “It just made sense,” Greg said. He and his wife Amy of nine years, who now have four children, met at a school soccer tournament in Pittsburgh when he was 19 and she was just 16, she recalled. ose are connections with some twists and turns considering he’s from Minnesota and she from
McKeesport, Pa. Now, a college degree later they are specializing in chiropractic treatment as she works as her husband’s assistant. Greg began his business in Steubenville where he’s conducted business there for the past eight years but has been practicing for a total of 13 years now. And like Greg said about him being raised in the country back in Minnesota, the Cadiz area just reminded him of a little back home life. Greg studied at Minnesota Health Sciences in Bloomington and Amy attended Belmont Abbey in Charlotte, North Carolina. Now Greg specializes in all kinds of treatment and along with

Now this second office opens up much more convenience for their Tappan and Cadiz area residents who don’t need to drive the nearly half hour to Steubenville. “It’s made things convenient for a lot of our patients,” Greg said. Amy cited numerous times where people have dropped in just to say hello. “e valley has been great to us,” she said since they’ve gotten their feet wet
in the area. “Random people drop in and say hi.” e couple wants the public to know that they can see most of their new patients on the same day. He also emphasized that there is usually more than one issue to a person’s health problems where he has a variety of treatments such as joints, ankles, breast-feeding issues and migraines for example, which can be treated with acupuncture “I try to use various methods,” he said. Greg also works with Dr. John
