Guernsey County rejects Children Services levy, renews local tax measures

CAMBRIDGE − While renewal levies faired well in Guernsey County in the Nov. 3 general election, a new countywide levy was rejected by voters. Guernsey County voters had four countywide levies on the general election ballot to consider. Only one was an additional for Coshocton County Children Services. It was voted down with 6,461 votes against it and 6,024 votes for it, according to unofficial numbers from the Guernsey County Board of Elections. The agency was seeking a 1.25-mill property tax levy for 10 years estimated to generate approximately $1.75 million a year. A similar levy in the spring primary failed. Executive Director Nicole Caldwell said the need for funding was based on a dramatic rise in foster placement costs. Placement costs went from $3.02 million in 2020 to $5.61 million in 2025, a nearly 86% jump. Placement costs is about 64% of the agency's total expenditures, up from 50% in 2020. In the last nine months, Caldwell said they have cut six child welfare worker positions, reducing staffing by 20%. Commissioner Dave Wilson, who won re-election on Nov. 3, said he's worried about the strain children services will put on the county's general budget in the coming year. It's

COSHOCTON − Daniel Kovacs admits it took him a few stays in prison before getting on the right path. Now he's trying to help others do the same as a member of the Coshocton County Reentry Coalition. Formed in 2023, the agency offers those returning from jail and prison with housing, employment, transportation, clothing, hygiene supplies, identification documents, phones and connection to substance abuse and mental health treatment. It's annual budget is about $50,000 for utilities, peer support, transportation, supplies and direct assistance for participants, along with rent for its facility at 524 Main St. It is now focusing on securing funding and finding a home in Coshocton for transitional housing with about 15 beds.

He estimated the average stay would be about six months “They want to do better and become productive members of our community because all these people are coming home. So we

Between Columbus And Youngstown Is Ohio's Charming Amish Community With Unique Shops And Delicious Eats

Nothing embodies the simple life quite like an Amish community — and Ohio is a great place to experience it. The first Amish settlers moved to eastern Ohio in the early 1800s, and the region today is home to more than 87,000 Amish individuals spread across 78 communities, giving Ohio the second-largest Amish population of any U.S. state. Walnut Creek, a small town of about 1,000 people, is right in the middle of Ohio's Amish Country. It can serve as a convenient home base for visitors exploring the region's farms and shops, especially since life in this tiny town moves at the laid-back pace many people come to Amish Country to experience.

Coshocton County voters say yes to all but one levy during general election

COSHOCTON − Voters in Coshocton County showed their support for local property tax levies with only one, an additional for Clark Township, failing in the Nov. 3 general election. There were two countywide levies on the ballot. Those were renewals for the Coshocton County District Library and Coshocton County Emergency Medical Services. Both passed in unofficial vote totals from the Coshocton County Board of Elections. The EMS levy had 6,792 votes for it and 4,882 votes against it. The library levy had 6,761 votes for it and 4,870 votes against it. Library levy The library was seeking renewal of a 0.5-mills levy for five years for current expenses that was estimated to generate $400,237 per year and cost the owner of a $100,000 home $12 annually. This levy is responsible for about 20% of the library's annual revenue. The library system has approximately 36 employees and a monthly operating budget from $125,000 to $200,000. Director Jennifer Austin said this will allow the library system to maintain staffing levels and continuing providing various services. This includes not only the physical collection, but various digital services. Austin said mobile printing has been popular. That was made possible through levy funding, she said.
