Waverly tabs familiar face to lead girls basketball program

WAVERLY — When Waverly’s girls basketball program officially begins its season, it’ll be doing so with a new head coach for the first time in 18 years. However, the Tigers won't have to look far for familiarity. Mark Hannah has been tabbed to replace John Bonifield as the Tigers’ leader. Hannah has spent the last eight seasons as an assistant coach under Bonifield. Before that time, he helped with both Waverly and Piketon’s boys hoops programs. And, in the offseason, he runs the Arctic Rush AAU program. RELATED: Introducing 10 girls basketball players around Chillicothe to keep an eye on this winter Needless to say, he fits into his new position like a glove. “I’ve been around these girls since they were just starting basketball in the third grade. I see them every day in the building. With that, the familiarity is there,” Hannah said. “They know my personality, they know how I communicate, they know how I want to play, and most importantly, they know that I trust and believe in them. If you can build that relationship with your players, and they know you genuinely care, I believe they’ll run through a brick wall for you.” In his

Pump failure threatens toxic plume in Chillicothe

CHILLICOTHE — Chillicothe residents are being warned about a pump failure in a well being run by the U.S. Paper Mill, which could cause issues with the toxic plume beneath Chillicothe. On Nov. 12, the U.S. Paper Mill alerted the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency to a pump fracture on a water well that has been containing a toxic plume of underground chemicals. The decades-old, 90-foot pump will need replaced, which will cost thousands of dollars. More about the Plume: Will the toxic underground plume in Chillicothe be affected by new owner of mill site? The migration of this plume, which was caused by a cookware manufacturing plant that closed in the 1990s, was a concern for many when the Pixelle paper mill announced it was closing down. Since then, the new owners have been pumping water into the well to keep the underground water tables away from the plume. In a news release, the U.S. Paper Mill said that migration of the plume could, over time, contaminate land and groundwater in farmland, residences, and the Scioto River. U.S. Paper Mill is working on a solution, but they are not sure how long it will take to solve this problem. "As
