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

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

The Pearl Farmers by Stacey Gordon hits book store shelves

CHILLICOTHE — In 1992, Stacey Gordon graduated as one of the top students in her class from Chillicothe High School. Now, she is a published author celebrating the release of her new book, "The Pearl Farmers." Gordon grew up in Chillicothe before attending Ohio University. She said creative fiction writing has always been something she enjoyed in and out of school. "My lifelong dream has been to write a novel," said Gordon. After graduating, Gordon started working for magazines and quickly started working with organizations as they transitioned into the online era. This led to her working in the tech field, she is currently employed by Meta and has previously worked for Google. When she worked for a magazine, Gordon covered the cultured pearl jewelry industry, where she traveled the world and got to know those involved in the trade. Despite a shift in her career, Gordon said she still had all of this knowledge from her reporting days "rattling around" in her head. She put this knowledge to use when she started her book in 2010. She would continue to work on the project for many years before finally hunkering down and forcing herself to complete the first draft

Airport food storage violates FAA rule, commissioners find

It was recently brought to the commissioners’ attention that they were in violation of an FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) rule due to the storage of food at the Pike County airport. The reason for the food storage at the airport is because the food pantry does not have enough room for freezers to store 600 hundred turkeys for the people who are need and cannot afford to buy a turkey themselves and for their families. “We obviously want to serve the folks who are underprivileged by using the airport as a food bank. But if we’re in violation of the FAA, then we have to address it,” said Jerry Miller, Pike County Commissioner. Miller said that the issue is not whether they agree with the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration), but the issue is how they can still serve the underprivileged in Pike County in the short term. “We want to follow the law, and we want to be compliant. So, that’s a challenge for the commissioners and for Pike County Community Action. We were trying to support them,” Miller said. “But the bottom line is we’re going to figure it out if we’re going to be in compliance with the
