BUCYRUS — A Bucyrus woman must register as a sex offender and was sentenced to several years in prison after pleading guilty to two felony charges. Anita M.

Richland County voters reject levies as school funding burden grows

Since they don't increase taxes, renewal levies used to be a reliable source of funding for public school districts. Things have changed. "A renewal is not automatic. It's not a gimme," Ohio School Boards Association CEO Tom Hosler said. Both Madison and Lexington Local Schools saw renewal levies get rejected in the Nov. 3 election. In Madison, a 14.4-mill renewal levy lost by only 78 votes. Madison Superintendent Rob Peterson said it was the first renewal levy not to pass in district history. "While I will always respect the outcome of an election and the voice of the Madison community, it is difficult for me to understand the rationale for not supporting a renewal levy for our schools, knowing the deep cuts that are coming and how hurtful they will be to our students, to our staff and to our community as a whole," he said. Peterson said the levy money would have allowed Madison to maintain its current funding. He called it "foundational resources for providing our students with a great education." Since 1992, when the renewal levy was first passed, it has been approved by an average passage rate of 61%. "Madison Schools are the heart of the

Living her best life: Coon celebrates turning 107

ONTARIO — When Irene Coon was a child in North Robinson, her family put a 25-gallon crock in the ground to serve as a refrigerator. She traveled to school not on a bus, but on a horse-drawn wagon. Coon has seen a lot in her time. She turned 107 on Nov. 10. "Am I the oldest one around here?" she asked. Coon celebrated her birthday a couple days earlier with friends and family at Ontario Estates, an assisted living facility where she has resided since August. She was born in North Robinson in 1919, graduating in 1937 with 18 other students from what is now Colonel Crawford Local Schools. It's a time she remembers fondly. "At that time, you didn't send your kids to college usually," Coon said. "I worked at a little grocery store. There were a couple in North Robinson at the time." She called North Robinson a "nice, quiet little village" that had a saw mill, a tile mill and two churches. The Pennsylvania Railroad also went through town. She married Maynard Coon in 1940. He was a schoolteacher at North Robinson and later a school administrator at Plymouth-Shiloh and at Madison Local Schools, where he retired
