High School Student Art Exhibition

WEIRTON, W.Va. – Oak Glen High School will participate in the Sixth Annual High School Student Art Exhibition presented and hosted by Top of West Virginia Arts Council, a committee of the Top of West Virginia Convention and Visitors Bureau.

Oak Glen will join Brooke and Madonna. The opening reception will be held from 5 to 7 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 12, at the Summit Art Gallery, 243 Three Springs Drive, Suite 17 in Weirton (between the Weirton Pet Spa and By the Barrel).

“Lost and Found” will be the theme for the show. The art may be any of the traditional mediums including sculpture and digitally produced works. Five students from each school will receive award ribbons beginning with first place. This exhibition is not a competition between the schools, but a competition within the students works submitted by each school. The teachers and a member of the TWVAC will be the jurors with the teacher from the school being judged abstaining in the voting process. Additionally, each teacher is encouraged to submit an artwork to display in the exhibition. Many pieces of the artwork will be available for purchase as labeled.

The public is invited to attend the opening reception complimented with light refreshments, and also encouraged to visit the gallery during the duration of the show to view and appreciate the talent of these young artists. These activities are free of charge. The exhibition will remain available for viewing after the opening reception Monday through Friday, 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. until Thursday, Dec. 18, at the Summit Art Gallery.

Expanded vital records services

LISBON — The Columbiana County Health District now offers statewide issuance of death certificates, expanding its vital records services to better serve Ohio residents.

With this new capability, the health district can issue death certificates for any death filed in the State of Ohio, regardless of county. This service complements the agency’s existing ability to issue birth certificates for any Ohio birth, providing a convenient, one-stop location for vital records.

“We’re excited to expand this service to our community and beyond,” said Dr. Vins, Health Commissioner. “By offering both statewide birth and death certificates, we’re helping residents save time and simplify access to important documents.”

Certificates can be issued immediately at the office in Lisbon, typically with only a short wait for printing. Residents may also request certificates through online ordering and overnight shipping can also be provided for added convenience.

The issuance fee for both birth and death certificates is $27 per copy, plus applicable shipping and online processing fees.

The Columbiana County Health District office is located at 7360 state Route 45, Lisbon, and is open weekdays from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. For information call 330-424-0272 or visit www.columbiana-health.org.
