ASHLAND – Project Manager for the Trust for Public Land Kevin Joyce presented the Ashland County Commissioners on Thursday, Jan. 27 with information regarding Mohican State Forest.

“Our purpose is to protect parks and land for people,” began Joyce. “Also here today is Chad Sanders who is the forest manager at Mohican State Memorial Forest.”

A family that owns 116 acres approached Sanders and his staff about acquiring land near Mohican State Forest, he said.

“We entered into a contract with the family to buy the land,” said Joyce. “And then we will transfer title using funds from the sources talked about. We work with state, local and federal funding sources for our projects. In this case we have a state forest and we need to find funding.”

Joyce said the two best sources of funding for this project would be an appropriation from the General Assembly under the Capital Budget and a grant from the Muskingum Watershed Conservatory District. An appraiser will figure out the fair market value.

“I am here,” said Joyce, “to ask commissioners to state that you are in favor of this project, so we can relay that to our funding sources when we ask them for money.”

Clerk Nikki Hiller had a letter of support prepared for the meeting…

Concert Connection: Billie Eilish sets Boston concert date

Singer and songwriter Billie Eilish is set to perform Feb. 20 at the TD Garden in Boston.

Following the release of her latest single “Your Power,” and ahead of the July 30th release of her forthcoming album ‘Happier Than Ever,’ artist Billie has announced the first leg of her “Happier Than Ever, The World Tour”, set to commence in Feb. 2022. The 32-date North American arena run will be making stops across North America, before heading across the Atlantic for an 18-date arena tour across Europe and the United Kingdom.

The seven-time Grammy Award winning artist and songwriter has also confirmed she will be continuing her work with sustainability partner Reverb for her “Happier Than Ever, The World Tour”, with the fan-facing Billie Eilish Action Village at each show. The village will focus on climate action and climate justice, hosting and supporting BIPOC and women-led environmental organizations as well as a comprehensive program via REVERB’s forthcoming Music Climate Revolution campaign.

In addition to reducing the tour’s environmental footprint, the initiative will support projects that directly and measurably eliminate greenhouse gases. These collective efforts will make the tour Climate Positive; eliminating significantly more emissions than the tour creates.

Gucci gets bashed by online critics after advertising a £2,200 equestrian-style sun visor

Gucci has been mocked for horsing around by selling a sun visor with equine hair for £2,200.

The Italian fashion house’s black leather visor has been likened to bondage gear, while one baffled shopper said it resembled a Spartan helmet. 

The listing on the Gucci website reads: ‘Equestrian references, dating back to the 1950s, are continually revisited in new and unexpected ways.

‘This visor is characterised by a black leather harness, recalling those used in horse riding.’

‘A striking rendition of a horse’s mane completes the style.’

Gucci has been attacked by online critics after selling a sun visor with a horse hair mohican for £2,200

The headpiece features a visor for keeping the sun out of the wearer’s eyes and an open harnes system that goes around the head

One user thought the hat was more suited to appearing in San Francisco’s annual BDSM carnival

The ‘Visor with harness’ only keeps bright light out of the wearers’ eyes and doesn’t offer the head any protection from the sun’s rays because it’s open at the top, apart from the horse mane covering. 

It does, however, boast an adjustable chin strap and buckle.

Gucci first unveiled the accessory in April 2021 with models parading it on the catwalk, before its recent attention online.

Commenter James Worrad was baffled by the price and said on Twitter: ‘£2,200 this’ll set you back, guys. A must-have, clearly.’

Another commenter was surprised at the steep price given the eccentricity of the unusual garment

Lee Thomason compared it to the clobber worn at the famous San Francisco BDSM event.

He added: ‘Looks like something you’d see at the Folsom Street…

Artist Jennifer Zackin to exhibt at East Stroudsburg University in February

STAFF REPORTS  |  Pocono Record

Art lovers will get a chance to explore “gravity-defying” world of Jennifer Zackin this February at East Stroudsburg University. 

ESU’s Madelon Powers Gallery will present Transfiguration: Woven Forms by Zackin in February, starting with a reception slated for 4 to 6 p.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 2. 

Transfiguration: Woven Forms presents new sculptural works created by Zackin during the pandemic. In this body of work, Zackin takes a deeper dive into her Vortex Weavings. Mathematically speaking, a vortex is a three-dimensional ring or doughnut shaped-object around which energy can flow. As it spins, a vortex forms through its central axis. This pattern can be found throughout the universe in hurricanes, galaxies, and atoms.

ESU news: Lessons from Dr. King: ESU event highlights ‘common humanity’, awards scholarships

Of interest: ESU senior project explores connections between university and Lenape

The artist’s ongoing Vortex works are woven with various materials — often cotton rope — on large cube-shaped looms.

For the current exhibition, Zackin has created Phoenix, a 44-inch by 44-inch loom onto which she has woven a fabric made from her own old clothing, piecing together bits and scraps to create a new, cohesive, multidimensional form. 

The exhibit will feature Zackin’s 7 Chairs series, which utilizes late-20th Century lawn furniture and tractor seat stools as armatures for “imaginary 3-dimensional landscapes”. The landscapes are woven from materials such as colorful rope and scraps of fabric to craft gravity-defying, “underwater-like” worlds that incorporate mountain ranges, escape hatches and refuges. 

Visitors to the gallery, which is free and open to the public, are invited to bring an article of clothing to be woven into a community Vortex project. Over the course of the exhibition, through the interweaving of parts of our personal history, a unique collective fabric will begin to emerge. 

For the last 22 years, Zackin has been integrating public art, sculpture, installation, performance,…
