Senior Engineering Project Manager Cheryl Green spoke next, sharing a short list of residences who still need to sign off on a user agreement. The agreement allows county contractors to put the tap on private property so residents can connect to the system when ready. Several attendees pointed out some people on the list were deceased or had since moved away.

Green switched over to speak about homeowner responsibilities. Homeowners will be responsible for aban

She is seeing more openness in society in general, however. “Even when I graduated 10 years ago, the field was more male-dominant for strength and conditioning coaching. Now it seems like more women are saying, let’s do what we want,” she said.

While society in general may have a narrow idea of women’s beauty standards, Reichman says she is seeing a change, including more acceptance of women as strength and conditioning coaches. Her from Page 1

Many ordinances are old and unnecessary while others are in need of clarification or being rewritten. Because there are so many, Village Solicitor Cory Phillips said there may be a way to repeal all the old ordinances at once, then work through either amending several or passing entirely new ones.

Council has been compiling a list of abandoned houses in town where the property owners are also behind on taxes. Prevot was able to pull paperwork from the county auditor donment of their existing septic systems and replumbing the sewer drain to the new sewer lateral connection. Owners can use any approved contractor for replumbing or do the work themselves, but the conneciton will have to be approved by the county.

Finally, Pam Ewing from the Rural Community Assistance Program (RCAP) stepped up to talk about possible funding available to homeowners for these projects.

“Based on the schedule right now, we’re going to have substantial completion by the end of January,” she said. She explained homeowners would have from substantial com -

& own coach, Laura Stackhouse, hosts the meet at the Butler County Fairgrounds where Reichman achieved her record lifts In April.

“Maybe it’s the internet. Seeing other women doing it, breaking through glass ceilings. Some women are top executives, playing rugby, women’s sports in general. It’s empowering to see other women pushing through and forgetting about societal standards,” she shared.

She says she gets a lot of compliments now.

For Reichman, strength training is very much about health. “To really train your body to be strong, you have to be on individual addresses, some of which are more than $20,000 behind on taxes.

Prevot expressed discontent with the county prosecutor, saying she had contacted the office but hadn’t gotten any new information or any next steps. Baillie said he was under the impression that the necessary information had already been sent to the prosecutor for further action.

“The Jewett Council would like to know when the county is going to start doing something with these properties with $20,000 and $30,000 pletion to roughly the end of May to figure out their home’s connection. She acknowledged that the timeline could be extended depending on how quickly the work gets done.

“In the meantime, we’ll be working with the county to develop the approved contractor list,” she said. That list will be sent out to residents for them to find a contractor that works for them, if that is the route they want to take with connecting to the system. There will also be a letter sent out with a chart that will show eligibility for grant funding to cover costs. Some residents may be facing a $2,500 bill to connect their home to the mobile and you have to lift weights, because then you are building muscle mass, building tendons and ligaments,” she explained.

When asked what’s next in her lifting career, Reichman said some people are hoping she will be the first woman to squat a thousand pounds, but right now she’s enjoying some down time while still training.

“I would love to be able to empower other women, young girls,” she said. “Being able to reach the younger generation and teach them that, whatever your body looks like, whatever season your body is in, it is powerful and capable of many things.” in back taxes on them,” Council member Rick Meneely said. “We can’t do it, they have to do it.” system while others might be looking at more than $10,000. Each house will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis because each house will have slightly different needs.

The process to have a home forfeited to the county can take a lot of time. County Prosecturo Lauren Knight shared that one thing the county looks for is interest from individuals or an organization to purchase the property since it costs money to do everything from the forfeiture to an eventual auction. If no one is interested in the property, it’s more likely to sit and continue accruing back taxes until it is submitted to the prosecutor’s office.
