Sunday Creek Valley Water District Approved in Athens County
Common Pleas Court Judge Lowell Howard approved the formation of the Sunday Creek Valley Water District, absorbing parts of Ames Athens Bern Canaan Dover and Trimble Townships as it seeks an $880,000 Farmers Home Administration loan. Association officials testified of unsafe water and dry or contaminated wells, while tentative rates were discussed and the district planned to buy water from Burr Oak. Public objections were aired but no formal arguments against formation were filed.

Law cited in appeal over minor misdemeanor timing
Attorneys for two defendants in Athens County Municipal Court appealed Judge Franklin Sheeter’s dismissal motion citing a new Ohio criminal code provision effective January 1 requiring a hearing for minor misdemeanors to be set within 15 days after arraignment. The case involves Bobby J McClelland and Theresa Main, with hearings delayed beyond the 15 day window and a prior jury verdict unresolved.
