An Ohio University professor explains how a source of needed fertilizer has been tainted by “forever chemicals” in our wasterwater

ATHENS, Ohio (WOUB) — When we flush our toilets, the waste goes into the sewer system and ends up at a wastewater treatment plant. What many of us probably don’t know is that the solid waste eventually gets separated from the liquids, and that solid waste would be used as fertilizer. The trend now, however, is to no longer spread that solid waste over the land.

County commissioners approve Audie Wykle retirement, roll back DD Board levy

LOGAN — The commissioners received and approved a retirement notice from regional planning Director Audie Wykle, who announced that he is completing his final week of work. They were also approached by Jill Squires on behalf of the county’s Board of Developmental Disabilities. Squires, the board’s director, was requesting a rollback of its levy, which was later approved. She also requested the establishment of a new line item she referred to as an employee separation non-operating fund. She explained that this is used when a person retires, allowing for a payout of accrued sick time and vacation time. The commissioners also heard from Chance Graham of the Hocking County Health Department, who presented them with a handful of contracts and bids for the replacement of on-site sewage systems and for a WPCLF agreement. All of these were later approved. Later, they heard from Tracy Shoults, who was there on behalf of the engineering firm DLZ. Shoults explained that they are preparing paperwork for an Ohio EPA Water Pollution Control Loan Fund (WPCLF) nomination for the 2027 fiscal year for the Haydenville regional connection project.

Doctor honored after 47 years of community care

LANCASTER – For nearly five decades, Dr. Jeffrey Haggenjos served Perry County's residents. On Aug. 27, the now-retired physician, who is beloved and respected by the community, was honored with Fairfield Medical Center’s prestigious Humanitarian Award. Haggenjos, who retired earlier this month, is one of only a handful of honorees in recent decades to receive the Humanitarian Award, which is reserved for those who have made an extraordinary contribution to improving healthcare in the community. Upon opening his New Lexington practice in 1979, Dr. Haggenjos would spend the next 47 years caring for generations of families. He was known as a compassionate family physician who went above and beyond for his patients by ensuring they had access to essential resources and regularly making house calls and late-night nursing home visits to monitor their care, according to the announcement. In 2021, he joined Fairfield Healthcare Professionals, FMC’s employed medical group. “When we welcomed Dr. Haggenjos and his trusted and loyal colleagues to Fairfield Healthcare Professionals, we realized we were gaining more than a skilled physician; he brought with him a legacy of generational care,” said John R. “Jack” Janoso, Jr., president and CEO of Fairfield Medical Center. “We witnessed firsthand how
