Prime time. Market Street cooks up a Taste of Muskingum win at competition

ZANESVILLE – Five local culinary teams brought their best dishes to the table as community members ate, sampled and voted their way to a winner at the 2026 Taste of Muskingum. Birria tacos to a Zane Grey-inspired stew were on the menu but in the end it was Market Street Prime's pork loin and sweet potatoes that captured first place. The annual people's choice cooking competition and Foodworks Alliance fundraiser was held at Weatherington Woods. Market Street Prime's win came with the help of Executive Chef Daniel Kinsey Jr. and his team of three who presented pancetta with apple-stuffed pork loin, spiced rum sweet potato mash, candied carrots, sweet potato crisps and crispy leeks, along with brandy and maple syrup and balsamic glazes. "It was just a pleasure being there and showing what Market Street Prime can do," Kinsey told the Times Recorder on their victory. "I hope everyone enjoyed our food."

Fair board considers discipline against member after misconduct complaints

COSHOCTON − The Coshocton County Fair Board is considering possible disciplinary action against member and treasurer Jason Massie after receiving several complaints regarding misconduct from the public and others connected to the fair. Fair board member and director Jade Dreher turned in several complaints against Massie that were given to her, spurred by incidents at the fair in October. Other complaints go back several years and include allegations of verbal abuse, threats of violence and misuse of a director’s authority. Massie has disputed portions of the allegations while saying he could have handled at least one confrontation differently. The board discussed the matter in executive session Nov. 9 and plans to meet again Nov. 16 to consider what action, if any, to take. Although some complaints involved members of the public violating fairground rules, including one at the most recent fair involving outside alcohol, Dreher said those violations did not excuse Massie’s conduct. At the October meeting, Dreher said "A violation of fairground rules by a member of the public does not excuse inappropriate conduct by a member of this board,” she told the Tribune. “This is not about personalities, friendships, disagreements or taking sides. This is about accountability.” “We

Junction City asks court for favorable decision in lawsuit over seized police dog

COLUMBUS, Ohio — The Village of Junction City and two village officials have asked a federal court to grant them favorable judgment in a lawsuit brought against them by a former interim police chief, after village officials seized a police dog that both he and the village claimed was their property. In a motion filed Nov. 2 in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio, Eastern Division, the defendants — Junction City, Mayor Edwin Keister and Police Chief Amy English — contend that plaintiff Casey Williams’ case against them relies heavily on his claim that a male Belgian Malinois dog named Apollo belonged to him when English, assisted by Lancaster Police, seized the animal from Williams’ residence with a search warrant. But this is not true, they insist. “Nearly every claim (in Williams’ complaint) depends on Plaintiff’s assertion that he owned Apollo,” the motion states. “He did not.” It notes that in an earlier version of Williams’ lawsuit, the court had “already rejected Plaintiff’s ownership theory,” concluding that Williams’ allegations “more plausibly established that Apollo remained village property.” Williams first filed suit in January 2024, shortly after the dog was taken from him. His case briefly caught the
