Guernsey Soil and Water
Conservation District Election
On Tuesday October 24th, the
Guernsey Soil and Water Conservation District will be holding their 75th
annual meeting and banquet. Every year the Guernsey SWCD holds an annual
meeting for the purpose of electing members to the five member board that
comprises the board of supervisors for the district. This year there will be
two members elected to a three-year term.
The mission of the Guernsey
Soil and Water Conservation District is to promote through education and
technical assistance the sustainable use of natural resources for the benefit
of present and future generations. The traditional perception of the Soil and
Water Conservation District has been one of working primarily with the
agricultural community. The district does work on natural resource issues with
local agriculture but in addition to that, it is a considerable resource to all
landowners and land users in Guernsey County.
This year's slate of
candidates for election to the district board of supervisors include; John
Enos, Ken Ford, Darlene Miser, and Mark Oliver. The two candidates with the
most votes will be elected to a three-year term. The official election will
begin at 5:00 pm Tuesday, October 24th at the Deerassic Park
Education Center located at 14250 Cadiz Rd, Cambridge, OH 43725.
The dinner, catered by Theo’s
Restaurant, will be served at 6:00pm, with a brief program following the meal.
Tickets for the banquet are $10, and can soon be purchased from any current
board member, or from the SWCD office.
If you are unable to attend the day of the election, absentee ballots
are available at the district office located at 335C Old National Rd, Old
Washington, Ohio until 2:00pm October 24th. Eligible voters are all individuals who are
at least 18 years of age and a resident of Guernsey County or at least 18 years
of age and own real estate in Guernsey County. Consider participating in this
important process. For additional information you may contact the Guernsey Soil
