Hathaway sentenced in sexual battery case

BY CORNELIA GRACE Harrison News-Herald Reporter

CADIZ—Richard Hathaway was sentenced on Tuesday in a case that began in July of last year. Hathaway was originally charged with two counts of rape, four counts of sexual battery, four counts of unlawful sexual conduct with a minor, and one count of obstructing official business. The victim was 14 years old at the time of the offenses.

Hathaway was last in court on February 17 when he waived his right to a jury trial and pled guilty to nine of the charges. The two first-degree felony rape charges were dropped as part of the plea deal.

The victim’s mother delivered an impact statement to the court directed at Hathaway.

“To me, you’re the scum of the earth,” she began. She recounted a moment she said Hathaway smirked at her while he was being transported by sheriff deputies. “You should get life in prison; that’s the way I feel about it. And you think it’s funny … There’s nothing funny about it … Nothing’s funny about what you did to my daughter. Nothing at all.”

Hathaway did not respond or react to the statement and chose not to speak before sentencing.

Judge T. Shawn Hervey delivered the sentence, “The court finds that a prison sentence is necessary. It would demean the seriousness of the offense to not give a prison sentence. Especially in that the defendant has committed sexual abuse in the past and that the likelihood of him having another incident of it is great.”

He said the court would be imposing consecutive sentences “because one sentence does not adequately punish the acts alleged in the indictment.”

Hathway was sentenced to four years for each remaining count, except the misdemeanor obstructing charge, which rolls into the felony charges. Some sentences will run concurrently for a total sentence of sixteen years in the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction. While this is not the maximum sentence allowed, Hervey chose to sentence

SHERIFF’S OFFICE

2/10 – A driver delivering pizzas down Baker’s Ridge Road missed a tight turn, striking railroad tracks and ending up with two flat tires. The incident was reported to the sheriff’s office the next day, and photos were taken for documentation purposes of both the vehicle and the exposed tracks.

2/13 – A deputy traveling on US Route 22 pulled over a vehicle for erratic driving. The driver, identified as Hunter Chamberlin, admitted to drinking, and when asked how much he had consumed, he responded, “A lot.” Chamberlin refused to participate in any field sobriety tests and opted to go to jail. Once at the jail, he blew a .204 on the breathalyzer test and was incarcerated, awaiting arraignment.

2/15 – Deputies responded to the report of a domestic dispute in Bowerston. The female victim was at the hospital being treated for injuries. She told a deputy that her boyfriend had suddenly become angry about one of her past relationships. They had spent the evening out, and when they returned home, she had gone to change. The boyfriend kicked the bedroom door in and grabbed her. She fell back, hitting her head and breaking her wrist in the process. She managed to leave the house but realized she didn’t have her phone or any personal effects. When she re-entered the house, she said her boyfriend had grabbed his gun and pointed it at her. She told him to go ahead and shoot her, which he did not follow through with. She gathered her belongings and went to the car. She met up with a friend who brought her to the hospital. Deputies were not able to make contact with the boyfriend but issued a warrant for his arrest.

2/28 – A deputy in Jewett observed a truck make a wide turn without signaling, nearly hitting a parked car in the process. The driver, Christopher Palmer, at first denied drinking but eventually admitted he had drank a couple of beers at the local bar. He agreed to perform field sobriety tests and failed every one. He was placed under arrest for OVI, and his BAC test at the jail had a .14 result. He was released to a sober driver.

2/20 – A father reported suspected abuse to his kids by their mother’s husband. The two children had told the father about their home life, and the father had become concerned about abuse happening to both the kids and their mother. Deputies made contact with the children, who gave similar accounts as their father had but said their mother was typically on the receiving end of most of the abuse. When deputies spoke with the mother,

Ann’s Advice

My family decided to collectively give my grandmother a gift this year. Everyone contributed money, but I spent hours on the phone, designed it, drove to pick it up, and went to great lengths to finagle it into her home without anyone else’s help. The group gift worked out really well for everyone else. They said it was my idea, so I should handle it. How should I avoid that in the future?

Sincerely, Collective Responsibility

Dear Collective Responsibility, I love it when children and grandchildren go in together on a gift. It means a lot to have everyone work together to get something special. However, I remember my Mom used to get things for us from our kids, which is all good, except they didn’t help pick it out, so it really didn’t have the same meaning. In your case, I see how you may feel overwhelmed with having it all to do. If you could talk with all of them together and just tell them you would like to know who would be willing to help make some phone calls and do some of the running around to get the gift, maybe then they would see that it would be beneficial for all of you to work as a team instead of just letting one person do it all. It’s easy for others to let someone else do all the work. Explain that it’s just too much for you to do it all, and that it would mean a lot to you (and Grandmother) if everyone took part in the gift. Sometimes it just takes another way of presenting things to help them understand where you’re coming from. But what a blessing for her to have a family thoughtful enough to do that for her. Even if no one else helps, know you’re doing the best you can to brighten her day, and leave it at that!

Love, Ann

Ann is taking questions! Email her at this way because a maximum sentence would give Hathaway an automatic option to appeal. Hervey did not see any value in “wasting time” on an appeal, which would drag out the case even longer and possibly cause additional emotional stress to the victim.

Hathaway will be a tier three sex offender, which includes the most serious sexual offense, and means he will have to register with the county sheriff, wherever he resides, every 90 days for the rest of his life.

Hervey did not mince words at the end of the trial, “I’m not going to make a big speech to you, Mr. Hathaway. It seems like you’ve been here before … I will say this, though, the court has taken into consideration the harm that you’ve caused this family and this young lady and the fact that she’s going to have to deal with your decisions for the rest of her life, not her decisions, your decisions. You’re the adult. You knew what you were doing. You’ve done it before … That’s why you’re going to prison for a long time … I hope you take these sixteen years to evaluate yourself and your life and never hurt another person again.” she stated she wanted to get away from her husband but couldn’t afford it. She was given resources by DJFS.

CADIZ POLICE DEPARTMENT

2/8 – A woman came to the station to report that one of her students had a red mark on his ankle and told her that it was from his father hitting him with a belt. Information was forwarded to child services.

A driver traveling down Route 22 pulled their vehicle to the side of the road and noticed a fire near the vehicle’s battery. A police officer was able to extinguish the fire, and the car was towed. The driver was issued a citation for expired registration.

2/9 – An officer was on patrol when they were called to the Harrison County Jail to speak with a juvenile that claimed he was chased and threatened by another group of juveniles. The officer arrived at the jail and spoke with the juvenile, then proceeded to take him to the station. The other juveniles were apprehended, and their parents were contacted. One juvenile had violated their probation and was taken to Sargus for menacing.

2/10 – A woman brought her son to the station to report that he had been assaulted by multiple individuals. She said she had a video on her phone to prove the incident took place. The son refused to make a statement but said he wanted to apologize to a specific officer for a previous incident he had been involved in. The mother was advised she could make a statement on her son’s behalf, but she declined because she was afraid there might be retaliation against her son.

Can We Ever Be Right with God? Good

By Pastor Ken Staley Pleasant Grove & Harrisville United Methodist Churches

Over the years, I’ve heard more than one Bible-believing Christian say that when this life is over, “I hope I make it in.” One of the main reasons the letters from the apostles in the New Testament were written was to give believers assurance that we are justified before God when we believe in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. This is why the early church grew at such a phenomenal rate. New believers were taught that it was only by faith in Jesus, through God’s unmerited grace, that we could be saved. After Paul and Silas were miraculously freed from prison, the Philippian jailer said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” Paul’s answer was short and sweet, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved, you and your household.”

Because he was saved through his believing, he was immediately baptized, and a life of repentance and sanctification began. The apostle Paul told anyone who would listen that no person could be made right with God by keeping the law of Moses. Romans 3:23-24 says, “Everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard. Yet God, in his grace, freely makes us right in his sight. He did this through Christ Jesus when he freed us from the penalty for our sins.” (NLT) This is why the gospel is called Good News; we have been freed from the penalty of our sins! How did that happen, through our good works or extra-Biblical church teachings? No, it’s because we believe that

Jesus was born of a virgin, led a sinless life, fulfilled all the law of Moses that we could not, that He was crucified, and was raised from the dead. When any person believes that, the Bible says they are justified before God. No other act or work can make us justified in His sight; it is only by believing on the Lord Jesus. We’ve been restored to a right relationship with God, the relationship Adam and Eve had before they sinned. This is the simplicity of the gospel. The problem is that it’s a little too simple for some folks, and they try to add things that God never intended. The Galatians fell into this trap when they said they believed in Jesus but insisted that circumcision was necessary, “If you want to really be right with God.” Paul wrote and told them they had fallen from grace into works of the flesh. In Paul’s foundational letter to the Romans, sound doctrine 101, he proclaims, “Since it’s by faith that we are justified, let’s grasp the fact that we have peace with God through Jesus. Through Him, we have confidently entered into this new relationship of grace, and here we take our stand in happy certainty of the glorious things He has for us in the future. If He did that for us while we were sinners, now that we are justified by his blood, what reason have we to fear the wrath of God? If, while we were His enemies, Christ reconciled us to God by dying for us, surely now that we are reconciled, we may be perfectly certain of our salvation through his living in us.” (J.B. Phillips)

Justified, what an awesome word!

Janet (Poulson) Mallarnee

Janet Irene (Poulson) Mallarnee, 84, passed away on February 24 at the family farm near Deersville after a 15-year battle with Parkinson’s disease. She is survived by her husband of 62 years, Raymond Dale Mallarnee, and her children Kim (Rick) Coplin of Granville, Ohio; Karen (John) Klaus of Granville, Ohio; Karolyn (George) Fox of Northville, Michigan; and Kris (Liberty) Mallarnee of Carrollton, Ohio; as well as 13 grandchildren.

Born to Bernice (Clark) and Harold Poulson, Janet was raised near Tippecanoe, Ohio, and graduated from Uhrichsville High School. After she and Dale married in 1960, the couple moved to Carrollton, where they raised their family and were dedicated members of the First United Methodist Church.

A graduate of Aultman Hospital School of Nursing, Janet’s career spanned 42 years. Following her first nursing job at Twin City Hospital, she then worked with Dr. Jack Maffett in Carrollton for the next 36 years, becoming an integral part of the practice. She later retired after another five years at Mercy Medical Center of Carroll County. Janet possessed a unique skill and passion for caring for others, which extended well beyond her patients.

Actively involved in all things related to her family and community, Janet taught Sunday school, led Girl Scouts, and held various leadership roles with the music and athletic boosters. You could often find her behind the concession stand or ticket window at high school basketball games when she was not cheering from the bleachers. She attended countless athletic events, concerts, school programs, graduations, recitals, and theater productions as an excited fan and proud, supportive mother and grandmother.

Janet also enjoyed quilting, sewing (winning countless 4-H ribbons in her youth), baking, gardening, and shopping, especially with her daughters and grandchildren. She loved hosting the annual family reunion at the farm and delighted in spending time with her family on their summer beach vacation.

FIASCO

From and timely fashion.

“While not being directly involved in the response, from what I have read in the media and intelligence briefings I get as the EMA Director, I would say that the response went according to planning and training. There are no reports of injuries or fatalities, which is always our first priority.”

While a similar emergency may (hopefully) never happen in Harrison County, Wilson stressed the importance of making your own decisions in these situations, “At the end of the day, you need to look at everything and say ‘do I feel comfortable using this water or do I go to an alternative water source?’” He mentioned that many residents have well water and have become unsure if their drinking water is safe. “Educate yourself, reach out, and get water testing done if it will give you peace of mind.”

It’s important to prepare for every type of emergency event, “We always encourage our residents to have a preferred method of receiving weather or emergency information. Whether it be television, print media, or radio, we would caution against relying on social media or the internet, as misinformation can easily be spread. Please consider the source of information. We share information on our Facebook page (from trusted sources of information, such as the National Weather Service or the Ohio Department of Transportation.) Also, the Emergency Alert System (EAS) broadcasts emergency messages via television and radio. The county maintains the ability to send EAS messages ourselves.

There are two events our residents should prepare for, evacuation and shelter in place. In the event of impending danger to a certain geographic area, we may ask residents to evacuate. Where practical, a shelter will be opened for displaced residents to go to temporarily. Oftentimes people are unable to take animals with them or do not feel comfortable in a shelter, so we always ask residents to consider ahead of time where they would go in the event of an evacuation order. Friends, family, or a hotel? Some people find it helpful to pack a small bag with clothes and toiletry items ahead of time, so leaving quickly is easier. Do not forget medications and other necessities, as it may be some time before you can return to your residence. The FEMA website ready.gov is a great resource for residents who are looking for tips to better prepare for emergencies.

“The second event our residents should understand and prepare for is a shelter-in-place order. Usually issued in conjunction with an air hazard event, it is not safe for you to leave your house. Two references for this include www. ready.gov/shelter#place and https://emergency. cdc.gov/shelterinplace.asp.

One of the most important components of this is the sealing of all outside sources of air, such as vents, air handlers, and the like. Also, sealing doors and windows from the inside is important. This is to prevent dangerous chemical vapors or gases from entering your house. In preparation for this event, you may want to have water on hand. FEMA recommends at least 1 gallon of water per person per day in your household. You may want to evaluate if this will be sufficient for hydration, food preparation, and hygiene. Also, have food that can be stored for long periods of time and easily prepared for consumption. Extra medication and toiletries are also recommended to have in the event of an emergency. Radios, batteries, alternative heat sources, and alternative power sources should also be considered. Make sure you research safety recommendations for all of these. These preparations are also prudent for weather-related emergencies such as severe winter or summer storms, flooding, etc. FEMA recommends that families be able to sustain themselves for up to 72 hours before local, state, or federal authorities can assist them.”

Wilson has full confidence in the members of the Harrison County community who work through emergencies as either first responders or support in preventative measures, “I am proud to have trained or worked with [many people]. I also am blessed to have the support of our county commissioners, the mayors, and councils of multiple villages around the county as well as township trustees. In one form or another, I have worked with a combination of all these people in past events.”

Wilson has built the EMA on trust and being there for the community, “When I took over this office, everything we have now says ‘public safety, public trust’ because they go hand in hand. If people don’t trust me, they don’t trust my agency, and everything falls flat after that.”

Wilson has spent time in public positions for decades and has been an active member of the community, building relationships and learning what the county’s needs are.
