Council announces 21-gun salute

to come in and talk with us whenever,” said Yater.

A new program available through the Harrison Metropolitan Housing Authority is the A-Z Learning Lab, which was created by Yater in March 2018, when she submitted the idea to the Ohio Capital Impact Corporation’s Resident Development Fund and applied for a grant.

This was initially a summer youth program intended to assist less fortunate children in gaining the same educational opportunities and life experiences as those from more economically privileged families. The A-Z Learning Lab saw such great success in its first year that it now operates all year long as both an after-school program and a summer program for the residents of Bingham Terrace Apartments in Cadiz.

The program has been primarily supported by the Ohio Capital Resident Development Fund, the Harrison County Community Foundation, and the Enterprise Housing Property Preservation.

Bingham Terrace Apartments opened in 2008 and has 56 subsidized housing units: 14

CADIZ—Cadiz council met for its bi-monthly meeting on March 2 at 7 p.m. During this meeting, a topic of discussion was the ability to rent both the new and old stages at Sally Buffalo Park. To reiterate, for those curious, any entity with an activity permit can request a certificate for liability insurance. Any individuals wanting to rent may reserve a policy for a day or special event.

All renters must show insurance prior to renting.

News 9 and Channel 7 News will be at the courthouse on the square on Veteran’s Day, March 29, at 11 a.m. for the 50th anniversary of the end of the Vietnam War. Six soldiers from Harrison County will be honored. Mayor John Magliore and four legion commanders will be speaking, and county commissioners, as well as surviving family members, are invited to speak. All veterans are welcome to attend, and there will be a 21-gun salute.

It was announced that Woodsfield Bank would add more lights to their plans and lights across Lincoln Avenue from the building. Village Administrator Brandon Ludwig is working on getting pricing for this for the bank.

In new business, two quotes are being sought for Cunningham Avenue. The water line suffered four breaks last week alone, so replacing this before paving seems sensible.

In the village administrator’s report, Ludwig offered that Stull Trucking & Excavating and Damian Kovarik Excavating & Hauling were awarded bids for rounds three and four of upcoming projects. An application will be sent for funding of these projects. Phase II of the Edgar Hill water tank restoration has begun. There were water line replacements on N. Main, Maplewood, Jameson, and Deersville Avenue.

Ludwig is also looking into a total water meter replacement for the village.

Sally Buffalo Park had replaced 600 feet of a new line, which should cut back on repeated repairs. Five new site pads have been laid out. There will be running water lines, 200/400 amp service added by AEP for all 11 sites, with 50 amps allowed per site. There is a deadline of April 1 for completion. Ludwig presented the layout and work completed thus far on the new village website. There are new options on the menu for onlookers to view, such as history, an “about” section for council members and the mayor, paving schedules, employment opportunities, and seven years’ worth of meeting minutes.

“The idea is to be as informative and as transparent as possible,” Ludwig added. There will be printable forms and accessible information. “There is also a section for Sally Buffalo Park, and this includes rentals, concerts, and facilities. What we can offer this community is a real asset, and we want to benefit our residents and outsiders alike,” he concluded.

Ludwig also commends Administrative Assistant Rachel Morrison for the work she has done on the website.

A motion was passed to approve Tag Day for the HC varsity track team on March 17, from 3–7 p.m. The next meeting will be held on March 16.
