Darlene Carpenter used

to love to dance.

Every Saturday night,

Carpenter and her late

husband Beryl would go

down to the Trail.

The Trail was just an

“old beer joint on (Route)

78,” according to Francis

Zwick, an old friend of

the couple, who would

be there every Saturday

night as well.

But it didn’t need to

be the nicest place. What

mattered was the fun that

was had there.

Carpenter recalled

“square dancing and

round dancing” at the

Trail.“We’d do all kinds of

things there,” she said.

“Nobody was getting

drunk. We just go down

and have a lot of fun.”

She smiled as she re-

membered those long-lost

days.Her husband has

passed away since then,

and the Trail, her favor-

ite dancing spot burned

down some time ago.

Carpenter still loves to

dance, though she rarely

gets to do it.

She finally got her

chance to dance Thurs-

day, Feb. 16, as Westwood

Place held its Valentine’s

Day dinner and Dance.

At first, like many of

the other Westwood Place

residents, Carpenter was

a little apprehensive. She

isn’t as spry now as she

was during her dancing

days.But gradually, with

some coaxing from West-

wood Place’s life enrich-

ment coordinator Audrey

Lohrey, Carpenter put

her walker aside and re-

turned to the dance floor.

“I haven’t danced since

I’ve been in here (West-

wood Place),” said an

overjoyed Carpenter.

Bringing back those

fond memories and cre-

ating some new ones was

the part of the allure of

the event.

“This is something we

try to do every year,” said

Carla Steele, Westwood

Place executive direc-

tor. “It’s bigger this year

with the dance. We part-

nered (our Valentine’s

Day event) with a family

meal. It’s nice (for our res-

idents) to share this with

their loved ones.”

The meal was a success,

and despite having more

than 30 additional people

in attendance which staff

had not expected.

The Monroe County

Care Center passed its

second required survey

Feb. 15, clearing the way

for the eventual reintro-

duction of Medicare and

Medicaid patients.

After passing the sur-

vey, Administrator Mary

Rhinehart said the care

center will be certified

and able to accept Medi-

care and Medicaid pa-

tients as soon as it receives

its new provider number,

which she expects to re-

ceive within a week from

the Centers for Medicare

& Medicaid Services.

After 16 months of un-

certainty, Rhinehart said

the staff took the news

with a mixture of feelings.

“They’re thinking, ‘Is

it really real this time,’”

Rhinehart said. “Because

this is an unusual situ-

ation, it’s been hard for

them to know what to ex-

pect.”The Monroe County

Care Center lost its Med-

icaid and Medicare fund-

ing in October of 2015

following several failed

inspections.

What followed were

months and months of

working toward getting

the care center back up

to code. In December of

2016, Rhinehart thought

the journey was done af-

ter the care center passed

its first survey with a

perfect score. However,

shortly thereafter, the cen-

ter was informed a sec-

ond survey was required

for the facility.

This time, howev-

er, Rhinehart said the

16-month ordeal is close

to being over.

Rhinehart said the sur-

veyor spent a few hours

Feb. 15, going over a long

list of items related to en-

vironment and safety.

Rhinehart said every-

thing on the surveyor’s

list had been previously

corrected. She credited

the hard work of the staff

and the coordination of

contractors and inspec-

tors with the successful

completion of the second

survey.“We had wonderful

contractors that fit us into

their schedule,” Rhine-

hart said. “(Originally),

they told us it would take

three months to complete

the elevator project. We

weren’t told it was a ci-

tation until Jan. 13 and it

was done Feb. 3.”

The quick turnaround

was also welcome news

for the Monroe County

Commissioners.

center (was) ready, (it)

emphasized Thursday,

March 9 during the annu-

al Monroe County Cham-

ber of Commerce Dinner

at the Brown Community

Center.Among the guest

speakers for the evening

was first-term State Sena-

tor Frank Hoagland.

A retired Navy Seal,

Hoagland stated his

goals as state senator in-

clude providing opportu-

nities to area residents.

“We need to figure out

how to find solutions to

provide upward mobili-

ty, including the younger

generations,” Hoagland

said. “We have to provide

training for people to get

to work.”As Hoagland spoke of

ways to help create op-

portunities for workers,

John Voorhies, of the Ohio

ways to help new and

current businesses.

“As an entrepreneur,

I’ve been in the trench-

Voorhies said. “I want

Making progress in

reading has been a prior-

ity in the Switzerland of

Ohio Local School Dis-

trict this school year.

The district added the

Lexia and Reading Plus

programs this year. Both

combine standard lessons

with digital components

helping students from

kindergarten up to 12th

grade improve their read-

ing levels.At Beallsville Elemen-

tary School, teachers are

taking the improvements

a step further by helping

their students learn how

to attack words.

Beallsville Elementary

is a serving as the dis-

trict’s pilot school for the

Really Great Reading pro-

gram.Really Great Reading

focuses on phonics to

help students grasp each

individual part of a word.

“If students don’t have

a solid foundation in pho-

nics, they have a hard

time decoding words they

don’t know,” Beallsville

Title I teacher Jennifer

Maas said. “Sight words

they’ll know. But when

they get older and are

working on their science

and see big words, with-

out basic phonics they’ll

have a hard time knowing

what those words mean.”

In December, Maas and

other teachers at Bealls-

ville Elementary School

attended a workshop

where they saw the Re-

ally Great Reading pro-

gram and knew it would

be perfect for their stu-

dents.“We were all excit-

ed (about Really Great

Reading),” said Kristin

Holland, a kindergarten

teacher at Beallsville El-

ementary who attended

the workshop. “We all

wanted the posters and

boards (that go along

with the program for

their classrooms).”

Through Beallsville

Elementary’s school im-

provement funds, Maas

was able to bring the Re-

ally Great Reading pro-

gram to her building,

with students from kin-

dergarten through eighth

grade using the program.

Even though the pro-

gram has only been in use

for a few months, Hol-

land said she can see the

results.“It’s been a blessing,”

Holland said. “My kids

want to do their spelling.

They are able to write

sentences and break apart

words they have not

seen.”

Beallsville Elementary School kinder-

garten teacher Kristin Holland demon-

strates the “octopus” motion, which

Dr. Lauren Wooten has

looked for a mission her

entire life.When she was younger,

Wooten wanted to be a

missionary. She went on

mission trips in the Unit-

ed States and in China.

While the experience

was fulfilling, Wooten felt

she needed to pursue an-

other type of mission.

“I felt the best way to

help people was in the

medical field,” Wooten

said. “(It is) helping peo-

ple that (may not) have

the resources that are

available to other people.

I want to help improve

people’s lives and take

care of them.”In September of 2016,

Wooten brought her

“mission” to Monroe

County when she started

as an independently con-

tracted physician at the

Monroe Family Health

Center in Woodsfield, re-

placing in for Dr. Rajnish

Gupta, who had practiced

medicine in the county

for nearly 25 years before

leaving the area.

In her brief time in

Monroe County, Wooten

has found a place where

she can be of service.

“I liked what I was do-

ing, I liked the patients

and I liked Ohio Hills

(Health Services),” she

said.Originally from Or-

lando, Florida, Wooten

received her Bachelor of

Science in Microbiology

from the University of

South Florida. She went

The Monroe County Chamber of Commerce got its newest member Friday, April 21 as Cham-ber Office Manager Bar-bara Carslund welcomed Kole Hogue, owner/operator of Kuts by Kole Ltd., into the group.

Opened two months ago, Kuts by Kole is a full-service barbershop located just outside of Woodsfield at 46861 Yoho Rd.

Hogue said his days of Monroe Central football led to his new venture.

“It was kind of a tra-

dition,” Hogue said. “Somebody would bring in some clippers and we’d do some numbers or de-signs on each other.”

Eventually, Hogue’s friends noticed he had some talent – and the re-quests started piling up.

“I had a handful of buddies asking me to give them a haircut some time,” he said. “Other guys saw their haircuts and said, ‘Hey, why don’t you do mine?’ Then it started to spread.”

Hogue credited his new career to those high

For Monroe County’s fire departments, fires are often a surprise.

They will get the call and have to immediately react.

Every member has to take a training course and yearly training hours are another requirement.

But real-life experience mostly comes on the job; meaning members new to the departments have to learn on the fly.

On Sunday, April 23, the volunteer fire squads from Woodsfield and Lewisville got the oppor-tunity to get some valu-able experience as the departments held a prac-tice fire three miles east of Woodsfield on State Route 78.

The home was beset by black mold, leaving the owners little options. They asked the fire de-partments to burn the house down, which ben-efited the owners and the departments.

Fire crews started small blazes in the upstairs and basement of the two-sto-ry home, allowing crews to see how the fire reacts and spreads before put-ting them out.

“We don’t’ get an op-portunity like this often,” Woodsfield Fire Chief Mike Young said. “When we get a house like this,

Getting some real-life fire experience

we have to take advan-tage of it.”

Young said the practice fire allowed his unit to work on how to control a fire, pump operations and how to enter and attack a fire.

The crews also worked with portable pumping stations. Water from a nearby lake was pumped into containers. The wa-ter was then pumped into the trucks and used to fight the fire.

Generally, fire depart-ments might not arrive at the scene of a structure fire until the fire is well underway.

On Sunday, crews from Lewisville and Woods-field got to see the fire from start to finish, watching and learning, so they are ready when the next emergency comes.

Members of the Woodsfield Fire Department watch the fire take a house during a practice fire Sunday, three miles east of Woodsfield on State Route 78.

After extinguishing a small fire upstairs, fire crews from Woodsfield and Lewisville head down stairs to get more training during Sunday’s practice fire.

A story Diane Burkhart heard a few months ago showed her an apparent need in the Switzerland of Ohio Local School District.

Burkhart, who was just getting started as grant writer in the district at the time, knew there were needs, but wanted to ask teachers in the district was they felt their students needed most.

While doing her infor-mal research, Burkhart spoke with Annette Mob-ley, a sixth-grade teacher at Woodsfield Elementary School, and heard a story that set the course for her first months on the job.

Mobley told Burkhart about a student who claimed to be excited to come back to school every Monday.

Wanting to know why that would be, Mobley asked the student, and received a heart-breaking answer.

The student said it was because there was no food to eat at home over the weekend, and return-ing to school meant a much-needed meal.

“It (the story) was amaz-ing,” Burkhart said. “That got me thinking about (what we needed to do).”

That conversation showed Burkhart exactly where her focus needed to be – finding a way to make sure the district’s students who needed it had food to eat when they are not at school.

The need wasn’t limited

“You’re going to think I’m crazy,” Dave Rosier said as he began explain-ing his story.

Rosier, 73, knows many people will have a hard time believing what he does – but he believes what he experienced was a miracle.

Rosier’s story starts April 10.

He was outside of his home in Powhatan, pick-ing up sticks while a neighbor was cutting his grass and all of a sudden the world started spin-ning.

Rosier went down, but was able to get back up

again. He resumed pick-ing up sticks, only to feel dizzy again.

This time, Rosier couldn’t get up.

The next morning, Rosier couldn’t get out of bed. His wife, Wanda Kay Rosier, and daughter, Jackie Wentworth, urged him to go to the hospital, where he learned he had suffered a stroke.

Bill Coker, pastor of Powhatan Point Church of the Nazarene, where Rosier and his wife have attended the past three years, heard the news through a Facebook post from Wentworth, which

Monroe County Sheriff Charles Black credited a string of recent arrests to his K-9 units, as the de-partment’s dogs helped put four in custody over the last few weeks.

A recent drug interdic-tion training class helped the Monroe County Sher-iff’s Office become more proactive with using the K-9 unit.

Black said the class made his officers more aware of the indicators of drug activity, such as the behaviors of possible drug couriers and users of drugs.

“They are now more fa-miliar with what to look for,” Black said. “We’ve had two arrests by K-9 units where suspicions arose and caused an of-ficer to ask for a dog to come (to the scene).”

According to Black, The

Sheriff Black to criminals, ‘Beware of our Dogs’

Three drug arrests were made over the past two weeks thanks to the work of the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office K-9 Unit.

Thaddeus Simmons, left, Christopher

W. Radcliff, center, and Joseph Jones, right, were all arrested and charged with drug-related offenses in unrelated inci-dents.

first arrest came April 16 when Deputy Mikey Russell observed a 2001 Chevrolet Tahoe driven by Thaddeus Simmons, of 417 High St. in Woods-field, making a lane viola-tion on State Route 7.

After making the stop, Russell had his K-9 part-ner, Eric, check the vehi-

cle.Russell’s instinct

proved to be correct, as Eric hit on the vehicle, alerting Russell of possi-ble illegal narcotics.

A search of the vehicle found 66 syringes, two that were loaded with an illegal substance, as well as drug parapherna-

lia consistent with drug abuse, such as spoons and tourniquets.

Black said the substance in the loaded syringes was tested and came up positive with what he be-lieved to be cocaine.

Simmons, who is orig-inally from Grand Fork, North Dakota, was ar-

rested and charged with “a laundry list of in-fractions,” Black said. Charges included driving under suspension, drug abuse, possession of para-phernalia and possession of drugs.

Simmons was trans-ported to Noble County Jail, and released on bond April 17.

On April 25, Black’s of-fice made another arrest.

Deputy Andrew Ridley pulled over a blue truck for a traffic violation on State Route 7 near Duffy.

Ridley questioned the passengers on the scene and the suspect indicat-ed his name was Charles Robert Dixon, of Newark.

Black said that name belonged to an individ-ual with a lengthy crimi-nal history, however, that wasn’t the suspect’s real name.

The suspect was in fact Christopher W. Radcliff,

47, of New Concord.Black said Radcliff had

five outstanding war-rants, including multiple charges from Monroe County.

The inconsistencies with Radcliff’s statement posed some red flags. Suspecting more was going on than what the suspect was admitting to, Ridley requested a K-9 of-ficer.

Russell and Eric arrived on the scene, and, again, Eric alerted deputies to possible narcotics in the vehicle.

The resulting search recovered 3.7 grams of what Black believed to be methamphetamine, drug paraphernalia and $1,876.

Radcliff was charged

It was a horrifying scene.

Three vehicles man-gled. Three people in-jured. One dead on arriv-al.

The students at River High School observing the incident can be thank-ful it wasn’t real.

Emergency crews from all over the county staged the scene to open the eyes of high school students before they head to their proms and graduations as a mock crash was held Wednesday, April 26 at River High School.

“We want them to see what can happen when they make stupid deci-sions,” said Jason Head-ley, Sardis Volunteer Fire Department Captain and Clarington EMT. “This is what can happen if they are drinking and driving or texting and driving.”

The scene played out on River’s football field.

As students arrived at the field, they saw a large tarp extending over the scene.

As the tarp was re-moved, they saw the wreckage.

stroyed SUV.The final pulls of the

tarp showed something more gruesome – a body thrown through the wind-shield of a disfigured car.

Units from Clarington’s EMS got to the scene first, followed by a fire truck from the Sardis VFD.

As the emergency crews were making their first observations and gathering their tools to try to remove the injured from their vehicles, units from the Monroe County

Sheriff’s Office and the Ohio State Highway Pa-trol arrived.

The ensuing investiga-tion showed the causes of the accident.

While texting and driv-ing, one driver rear-end-ed another vehicle.

At the same time, a young man drinking and driving hit the same SUV head-on, sending his pas-senger through the wind-shield.

Paramedics checked the young man for a

pulse, but it was too late and he was immediately covered.

Thankfully the driv-er who was texting sur-vived with minor injuries, and the driver who was drinking didn’t appear to be injured.

The two young wom-en in the SUV, who hap-pened to be simply in the wrong place at the wrong time, were both taken away on stretchers.
