(Chillicothe) — Colonial days will be revisited at the Adena Mansion and Gardens in an event called- “The Worthington’s and the Revolution” – Saturday, June 19th from 10am-3pm, at the Visitor Center.
Children completing grades four through six are invited to join the Daughters of the American Revolution and the Ogle Company of the Militia at Adena Mansions and Gardens for a day of fun and learning about colonial times.
The day will begin with presentation of the flag by the Ogle Company and a round of shots. Throughout the day, participants will play games and enjoy food from the era of the American Revolution. These games were later played by the Worthington children and the “soldiers’ food” is the same the elder Worthington males ate while in the wilderness and defending the colonies. Children will have the opportunity to practice crafts and cooking that were practiced in the colonies and at Adena.
Thomas Worthington was a surveyor and frontiersman. Children will learn the skills and techniques used by those early surveyors, and see the tools used. A Revolutionary War Soldier’s routines and daily life will be shared with the children by a member of the Militia. Additionally, the children will learn about the Worthington family’s connection to the Revolutionary War.
Lunch will be served to participants and they will take home to share the crafts and foods created throughout the day.

Eblin worked all 7 innings, not allowing any batter to reach base while also striking out 13 Gallia Academy batters.
Eblin also had a base hit and accounted for the Tiger’s lone RBI in the victory. Waverly collected 6 base hits for the game, improving to (23-5) for the season.
Waverly’s win now puts them up against Unioto at 5pm this Thursday in Waverly for the Sectional Final.
(COLUMBUS)— Ohio Governor Mike DeWine has authorized the use of the State Disaster Relief Program (SDRP) to provide Gallia and Lawrence counties with funding to offset costs associated with severe ice storms that impacted southern Ohio earlier this year.
The February ice storms caused dangerous and damaging conditions that brought down trees and caused widespread power outages in both counties. At the time, Governor DeWine declared a state of emergency and activated members of the Ohio National Guard to assist with the removal of downed trees that were interfering with work to restore power and obstructing ditches, creeks, and streams.
The SDRP reimbursement program is available for use in instances where storm damage amounts do not meet the threshold for federal assistance. The program is intended to provide supplemental state assistance to local governments and eligible non-profit organizations for costs associated with debris removal, emergency protective measures, and permanent work.
Governor DeWine’s authorization allows the Ohio Emergency Management Agency to request the funding from the Ohio Controlling Board.
