In March 2007 retired Marine Dwayne F. Chaney approached the Covington City Council with a proposal to open an indoor shooting range where he would train both the general public and law enforcement in firearms safety and personal awareness.
At the time, city ordinances prohibited the discharge of firearms within city limits, except for law enforcement. But the council was so impressed with Chaneyâs plan that they amended the ordinance to accommodate indoor shooting ranges in districts zoned highway commercial, light industrial, and heavy industrial.
It has taken 13 years for Chaney to realize his dream, but AOP (Always On Point LLC) Virtual Shooting Range is now ready to open at 6178 Wheat St. in Covington. Chaney said that the cost of opening a live fire range, and the wisdom of a friend and mentor made him realize that virtual training was the way to go.

The ongoing pandemic has impacted the way schools in the county proceed with their normal daily activities. This means that it is uncertain when schools will be able to welcome visitors back into their buildings. We have partnered with The Columbiana County Career and Technical Center to showcase the career and technical programs that they offer so that incoming juniors can make an informed decision in the circumstance that the school is unable to host upcoming visitations in person. Programs will be spotlighted each month of the school year. Students who are interested in enrolling in a program for the 2021-22 school year are invited to do so by visiting the CCCTC’s webpage (https://www.ccctc.k12.oh.us) and completing the enrollment application which is now available. Any questions about the programs or the requirements for enrollment should be directed to Sue Allison, guidance administrator, at (330) 424-9561 ext. 118 or sue.

RANGELY | The Rangely Town Board of Trustees was called to order at 7 p.m. on Jan. 12, 2021. Mayor Andy Shaffer and trustees Richard Garner, Tim Webber, and Keely Ellis attended in person. Trustees Robie and Geer were present via telephone. “There is lots to do,” Town Manager Lisa Piering said. She reported that department supervisors are working on finishing year end projects. Marketing Coordinator Jeannie Caldwell is busy promoting economic development and applying for grant funding. Piering shared the most recent COVID-19 immunization information from Rio Blanco County Public Health. She said the first vaccination clinic did not go well logistically at the Fire Training Center because elderly participants were standing in the cold waiting. Subsequently, the next vaccination clinic was held at the LDS church.
