Live broadcast from Rowdy’s Smokehouse in Jackson, Ohio. Homegrown Happy Hour with Ben Davis Jr. originally aired on Thursday, October 13, 2022. Megan Bee is a singer-songwriter from Athens, OH who writes with an unquenchable wanderlust and a deep love for the land. Her 2022 album "Cottonwood" has been called "as real as it gets – a raw and real telling of engaging, relatable stories."
Her music is a blend of distinctly homespun vocals, acoustic simplicity, yearning soulfulness, and winsome storytelling. Her background as an environmental educator, traveling farmhand, and vagabond once took her into a desert wilderness where she found her voice around a campfire. She bases out of the rolling hills of Athens, Ohio, and draws influence from the collision of Appalachian folk and modern songwriting.

Kristen has previously served in numerous roles at Rio Grande Community College. She started as a financial aid advisor and then became one of the first student success coaches before accepting her new position. She has an associate’s degree in Medical Laboratory Technology, a bachelor’s degree in Psychology and she is pursuing a master’s degree in Social Work.
Kristen said that her prior experiences as a financial aid advisor and student success coach has helped her be a greater asset for this new role. “In my previous positions at Rio, I have worked with all aspects with the student side, she said. “I have already developed relationships with professors and faculty members.”
She wants prospective students to know that the Jackson Center is a smaller option where students can complete their general education requirements and can receive an associate’s degree. “The Jackson Center is more like a family where we can assist students with any financial aid and open up more avenues.”
Kristen stated, “I love my Rio family and look forward to changing tomorrows for the Jackson County Community!”
Jason Mantell was hired as interim superintendent for the Oak Hill Union Local School District on August 11 following the resignation of Marci Shepard after serving as superintendent for three school years.

Today interim superintendent Mantell joins us on Main Street TV to tell us about himself, what this young school year has brought so far, and what he sees for the future of the school district.
Jeremiah Shaver, Telegram Multimedia Journalist

The Oak Hill Union Local School District announced late Sunday night that the school district would be closed on Monday, Sept. 12, due to a safety concern.
The Telegram has worked to learn more regarding the issue at hand and was able to contact Oak Hill Interim Superintendent Jason Mantell who shared what he could at this time on the matter.
“Late in the evening last night (9-11-22), we received some information about some social-media content that was concerning,” explained Mantell. “A member of our admin team was provided this information, and it was shared with me.”
Mantell added, “We than involved law enforcement and other members of our admin team. It was very late, and we didn’t feel that we had adequate time to investigate and have school today (9-12-22). I hate to disrupt the school year; we have had a fantastic beginning of the year but the last thing I want to do is interrupt that. But we are in the business of keeping people safe, first and foremost.”
He went on to tell The Telegram that he did not feel comfortable bringing students and staff into the buildings today. However, based on what the school district knows, they “don’t feel that there’s an imminent threat.”
“I never want to take chances with safety of students, staff or the community,” said Mantell. “We feel like we have worked through the appropriate channels.”
Mantell said, “We are still following up to make sure we don’t have any issues.”
Mantell would not disclose to The Telegram what the social-media post said since law enforcement was still investigating the matter. He would not disclose whether or not it was a student or member of the community that made the post. Mantell did confirm that a member of staff did not make the post.
Mantell also wanted to apologize to the parents of the Oak Hill Union Local School District for technical issues regarding the robo-call system. He explained that the system showed that the call went out, but it didn’t reach very many people.
In addition to the Oak Hill students being excused today, students from Oak Hill who attend Buckeye Hills Career Center were excused as well.
BREAKING NEWS The Oak Hill Union Local School District will be closed today (9/12/22) due to a safety concern. Pete Wilson & Jeremiah Shaver are here this morning with that and all of the other news from the weekend including a wrap-up of the Ohio Hill Country Festival and all of the exciting action from Friday night football!

After a minute of processing, he leaned up and then it donned on him.
“I haven’t been a part of an 0-2 start since my freshman year of high school,” Carper said. “And that year, we ended up running the table and going to the state championship. I don’t know if we’ll do that here, but we’re surely going to try.”

The Jackson Ironmen experienced heartbreak and deep disappointment for the second straight week after a close loss decided in the final minutes against a quality opponent. Losing hurts, but not playing up to one’s potential and making too many mistakes is just as troubling.
Last Friday night, the spiritual punch to the gut came in a 14-13 loss on the road to the Tri-Valley Scotties (2-1). The Ironmen missed the potential game-tying extra-point kick after scoring a touchdown with 2:05 remaining in the game.

The countdown is on for the Tuesday, Nov. 2 General Election in Ohio, and Jackson County voters should be aware of the recent change in location of the Jackson County Board of Elections Office. This past summer, the Jackson County Elections Office moved from the Jackson County Courthouse Annex at 275 Portsmouth St. in Jackson to an office in the county-owned building housing the Jackson County Department of Job and Family Services at 25 E. South St. in Jackson. The Board of Elections Office is located on the rear of the building away from South Street. There are two entrance doors on the back end of the building and the Elections Office can be accessed through the door on the left side underneath a canopy that reads “EMPLOYEE ENTRANCE.” Those visiting the Jackson County Board of Elections Office should use only this entrance.
