ONA Local District Offers Annual Scholarship to Marion Tech Nursing Student

(Marion) During the COVID-19 pandemic, there is a critical need for nurses. In response, a professional nursing group is sponsoring a $400 annual scholarship to help a nursing student make it to graduation.

Mohican District 5 of the Ohio Nurses Association, a state professional nursing group, donated $2,400 to the Marion Technical College Foundation to create this new scholarship fund.

“The Mohican District 5 wanted to extend our support to future nurses in completing their education,” said Carolyn Kaple, treasurer for the group.

The scholarship will be awarded annually to a senior nursing student at Marion Tech. The student must live in Ashland, Crawford, Marion, Morrow or Richland Counties. The student must be in the good standing in the nursing program, have at least a 3.0 grade point average, and submit a letter of recommendation from a nursing instructor.

“This will help a talented, qualified student with financial need make it to graduation,” said Cindy Hartman, director of the nursing program at Marion Tech. “We value the support of this professional nursing group in helping our nursing students succeed.”

The Marion Tech Foundation asks for scholarship applications and FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) each year by May 1 and awards the scholarships for the following fall semester.

“The Mohican District 5 provided an initial donation of $2,400 to this scholarship fund and it may be supplemented by supportive members of the community,” Kaple said.

This generous gift is gratefully received by the Marion Tech Foundation.

“It’s a hallmark of belief in our students to support their education,” said Mike Stuckey, director of the Marion Tech Foundation. “Kaple is a past Marion Tech nursing instructor and believes in our program and our students.”

Openings for registered nurses are expected…

Maple Heights man leads state troopers on high-speed chase before crashing into elementary school near Mohican State Park

LOUDONVILLE, Ohio – A Maple Heights man was hospitalized early Sunday after he crashed his pickup truck into an elementary school following a high-speed chase with state troopers.

The incident began about 3:30 a.m. Sunday, when the state highway patrol received a call about an erratic driver on Interstate 71 northbound, a news release from the Mansfield post of the highway patrol says. A trooper attempted to pull over the 25-year-old Maple Heights man.

The man briefly pulled his 2011 Dodge Ram truck toward the right berm of the freeway, but when the trooper began approaching the truck, the man sped away, the news release says. The pickup truck got off of I-71 north and sped along U.S. Route 30 and Ohio Route 60 before driving into Loudonville, a small village just outside of Mohican State Park in Ashland County.

Once in Loudonville, the Maple Heights man “failed to maintain control” of his pickup truck and struck McMullen Elementary School, the new release states. First responders treated the driver at the scene before he was taken to Mansfield Ohio Health Medical Center for treatment for non-life-threatening injuries.

Charges are pending against the driver, state troopers say. Authorities believe the Maple Heights man was not wearing his seatbelt at the time of the crash, and alcohol may have been a factor in the chase and subsequent crash.

Three Places to go Winter Hiking in Ohio

Places in Ohio to go Winter Hiking

Winter Hiking |Photo by Carol J

Ohio is home to beautiful parks, hiking trails and nature scenes that are accessible in all seasons. Here are some great places to enjoy this beauty during the winter months. 

Local Dayton area

Twin Valley Trail

This trail system is located in southwest Ohio, not far from the downtown Dayton area. It is accessible from a few different parks including Germantown Main Park.

The trail loops to connect with other systems and spans 49 miles according to Five Rivers MetroParks. Hikers of all levels can participate in short two-mile hikes or longer, more advanced hikes.

The park is open all year and is suitable for backpackers. It also features small campsites hikers can reserve to stay the night on the trail. 

Statewide

Cuyahoga Valley National Park

Those looking for a moderate winter hiking adventure can check out the trails in Cuyahoga Valley National Park. 

This park, located in Peninsula Ohio, offers trails for all levels of hikers. Those looking for an easier path can go on trails like Ledges Trail and Pine Grove Trail. Those looking for a slightly more difficult adventure can check out the Wetmore Bridle trail, all located in the Park.

The park is open 24/7 all year round, excluding national holidays, and holds no entrance fee.

Those interested in learning more about the park can do so here.

Mohican State Park

Those looking for a more challenging course can try the Hemlock Gorge Loop in Mohican State Park. 

Hikers have highly reviewed this 11.9-mile hike through the northern Ohio Forrest. The trail is geared towards moderately to highly experienced hikers, especially during the winter months.

B- UHS varsity boys’ basketball team drop home game against Morgantown, 72-37

TENNERTON — The Buckhannon- Upshur High School boys’ basketball team (1-0), coming off an upset win over #8 Wheeling Park in their season opener, quickly had to refocus and turn their attention to a new challenge as they prepared to welcome West Virginia AAAA’s preseason #1 ranked team, the Morgantown Mohicans (0-0) to Tennerton. 

The trip to Buckhannon was the first action of the season for the Mohicans, who were seeking to live up to their lofty preseason expectations against the B- U team that had already proved to be a dangerous opponent. It was an electric atmosphere at tip-off, as Coach Travis Foster’s team squared up for a powerhouse match-up with the state’s top-ranked team. The Bucs’ opened the game with a solid defensive performance in the first quarter, holding the Mohicans to only 14 points. The boys slowed the pace of the game, opting to methodically run their offense, using off the ball movement and crisp passes to generate a couple good looks around the rim for versatile senior forward Lamar Hurst, but for the most part points were hard to come by for both teams early. At the end of the first quarter, the Bucs trailed 14-9.

In the second quarter, the Mohicans found a rhythm and started to heat up, scoring 15 points in the second quarter, while holding the Bucs to only 10. Going into the locker-room for halftime, the team found themselves in striking distance, only trailing the Mohicans by 10, 29-19. 

Senior combo guard Harrison Walker, hit a tough mid-range early in the third quarter to trim the deficit to briefly single dights, but that is as close as the Bucs would come. The Mohicans responded by going on a big run, as part of a 24-point third quarter explosion that allowed them…

Before his iconic hair transformation, Peter Wright was an unrecognisable figure in incredible footage. » Brinkwire

Before his iconic hair transformation, Peter Wright was an unrecognisable figure.

A fantastic video shows Peter Wright before he started wearing his now-iconic hairstyles.

The World Darts Champion for 2020 is currently preparing for another outstanding performance at Alexandra Palace.

Peter Wright, a darts player, wears a bright and colorful mohican look for all of his PDC Darts matches.

In honor of his nickname, ‘Snakebite,’ he also has a snake painted on the side of his head.

The 2020 World Darts Champion, on the other hand, hasn’t always worn the eye-catching barnet.

Early footage of the Scottish thrower shows him throwing in a ‘normal’ style.

At the 1995 BDO World Championship, Wright is seen competing against Richie Burnett.

And, with no mohican and no creative painting on his head, the 51-year-old looks nothing like the darts star we know today.

Wright, who appears to be in his twenties, has a full head of dark brown cropped hair.

In 2013, the darts champion revealed that his flamboyant hairstyle was inspired by his daughter.

“It’s because of my daughter,” he explained, “because she’s the one with all the different colors of hair, and I thought, ‘I’ll try that.’”

“No one else had tried it before, and it just stuck.”

“It’s like going to war and putting on my battle armor.”

Wright tries to change his hair color for each match, as observant fans have noticed.

Wright’s hair stylist, Jo, is also his wife, and he revealed how long it takes.

“In my chilling out time after practice, it takes about two hours every day,” he said.

“I’m sitting here relaxing while my wife Jo does my hair.”

Wright said late last month that being labeled a cheat by fellow professional Adrian Lewis hasn’t bothered him.

Darts star Wright hopes he will still be rocking his colourful Mohican at 60

PETER WRIGHT says it will be a long time before we see the last of the Mohicans.

And given he wants to carry on for at least nine more years, he fancies being an oche rocker well into his 60s!

Snakebite, 51, is renowned for his colourful Mohawk, extravagant clothes and snazzy tattoos.

It takes about three hours before a match for hairdresser wife Jo to dye and sculpt his elaborate hair.

Traditionally for his opening match at the William Hill PDC World Darts Championship, the Scot goes that extra mile — and comes up with an even crazier idea.

Last year, he wore an outrageous green Grinch costume as he began the defence of his world darts crown.

In 2019, he survived a scare in his first match dressed as an Elf!

His latest attire is a well-kept secret and will be unveiled on Friday night in his second-round clash against Englishman Ryan Meikle.

Hudson Valley place-names pronounced WAY differently than you’d expect

It’s easy to pinpoint newcomers and visitors in the Hudson Valley by how terribly they mispronounce its towns.

Out-of-towners shouldn’t necessarily be blamed for this, as the region’s place-names are a series of English, Dutch, Lenape and Mohican terms mashed together over the centuries until they formed words pronounced far differently than they are spelled.

For instance, the first time this reporter entered the town of Copake in Columbia County, he attempted to pronounce it “CO-pak-ee,” thinking he was being smart by splitting the second syllable under the assumption the word looked Native American. Though I wasn’t totally off — the name is derived from the Mohican word for snake — achkook — and paug — pond — what came out of my mouth sounded more like a brand of tempura flakes than a town in Columbia County.

Let this guide help you to not make similar mistakes. We’ve talked to historians and other locals about the origins of different place-names in the Hudson Valley and Catskills, and how they’ve evolved to be pronounced the way they are today.

Accord (ACK-ord ), Ulster County 

Tucked behind the western slope of the Shawangunk Ridge along the Rondout Creek in central Ulster County, this hamlet’s name is pronounced with the first syllable heavily stressed, distinguishing it from the noun meaning “treaty.”

The location was originally known by early American residents as “Port Jackson,” according to D&H Canal Museum Deputy Director of Collections Bill Merchant.

In the 1820s, the Delaware & Hudson Canal Company constructed a water route from Honesdale, Pa., to Kingston to transport coal to the Hudson River….
