HUBBARD The replacement of a bridge that was built during Franklin Roosevelt’s presidency was dedicated Monday after the work was done last summer and fall.
Representatives of Hubbard city, Eastgate Regional Council of Governments and the Trumbull County Engineer’s Office took part in the ribbon cutting and dedication at the new bridge.

The research process for drug toxicology in horses has always been long, slow, and expensive. Too often, when veterinarians want to more about the way a drug behaves in horses, they find themselves relying on limited data collected from a small number of horses. That s because there is a lot of expense and regulation associated with using live animals for research of any kind, even a simple drug administration study aimed at determining how quickly horses bodies metabolize a therapeutic substance. It s also expensive for universities to maintain horse research herds of significant size year after year, awaiting their use in a short study.

As Phase 1b of Ohio’s COVID-19 vaccination plan continues next week, Fayette County Public Health (FCPH) Deputy Health Commissioner Leigh Cannon is reminding the public that the demand exceeds the supply and vaccine remains scarce.
“We are working as quickly as possible to vaccinate the identified priority populations,” said Cannon, “We appreciate your patience.”
On Thursday, FCPH reported that 377 county residents have completed their vaccinations (1.32% of the population) and 1,692 residents have received their first shots (5.93% of the population).
Bridge and Shop with a Cop issues addressed at JCC

Two issues were brought before the Jackson County Commission during the public comment portion of the Dec. 9 meeting.
Gary Shaffer and Travis Shaffer asked Commissioners Dick Waybright, and Mitch Morrison, with Mike Randolph attending by phone, to address a low water bridge that had been constructed years ago on Middle Fork. The bridge, which was built by a gas company, through time has become almost equal with the bank and causes the area to flood because of debris backing up.
Montana Boggess, 911 director, said numerous attempts have been made to contact the owners without success. The Commission agreed that the county’s attorney, Eric Holmes, should try to resolve the issue or find the proper agency to address it.
