When a storm with high winds and confirmed tornadoes ripped through Richland, Ashland, Holmes and Wayne counties back in early June, thousands of homeowners were left with tree damages to clean up. Also, three agencies that provide recreational opportunities for tens of thousands of Ohioans were impacted, with the Ohio Division of Wildlife’s Killbuck Marsh Wildlife Area severely damaged, as was the Mohican State Forest and the Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District’s Pleasant Hill area.

For the three agencies, it’s a conundrum as to how to reopen the areas to the public, while managing how to best clean up the thousands of acres of timber both safely and economically.

Killbuck Marsh Wildlife Area manager Dennis Solon has been sickened by the devastation of the woodlands on the Area’s 5,703 acres. While the storm happened June 13, there are trails and roads within the KMWA that are still not opened, and just finding a contractor who even qualifies to do the work is difficult enough, then finding one who has the time is even harder, all while being a good steward of the resources by trying to salvage the value of the downed hardwoods.

Clearing the tangled mess takes more than a comb and brush

One of the problems is the tangled mess created by the leveled trees, with the upper crown of branches and limbs making it difficult, and dangerous, to harvest the tree’s trunk, where the real value in the timber is. It’s been over two months since the storm, and Solon just this past week got a contract with Deer Creek Hardwoods to begin some of the cleanup.

“It takes a specialized crew and equipment to deal with this, to salvage the lumber,” Solon said. “Job 1 is getting Force Road open. They’re making progress, and we’re…

There’s an exciting way to track your visits to Ohio’s State Parks.

The Ohio State Parks Passport gives visitors an opportunity to chronicle their adventures at Ohio’s parks. At each destination, visitors can have their passports stamped. There are 75 state parks and each passport acts as a sort of guide, offering you highlights and insights into each park you stop by.

The passport acts as a record and a roadmap to your Ohio adventures and it’s especially fun for kids to keep track of their Ohio State Park memories. Each park has its own page and the passport includes a full set of custom state park decal stickers that visitors can use to commemorate each new stop along the way.

The passports are available for $10 and can be purchased online or at any of Ohio’s state park lodges, including Burr Oak, Deer Creek, Geneva, Hueston Woods, Maumee Bay, Mohican, Punderson, Salt Fork, and Shawnee.

There are a lot of incredible parks here in Ohio, so it can be a little daunting to know where to begin. But don’t worry, we’ve got suggestions!

PERRYSVILLE – 

Q: Where does Sasquatch live?

A: Sasquatch-ewan, of course.

But seriously, folks. If you were a shy, primitive, 8-foot-tall, 400-pound, nocturnal, bipedal hominid, where would you hide? 

Why not Ohio?

Although the Buckeye State seems an unlikely place for a beast reportedly as large as Bigfoot to roam, the extensive forests of eastern and southern Ohio could provide plenty of shelter, according to Bigfoot believers.

Ohio is among the top states for Bigfoot sightings

In fact, Ohio is among the top states for reported Bigfoot encounters, said Louis Andres, a program specialist at Pleasant Hill Lake Park near Loudonville. That’s one reason why the park will host the Bigfoot Basecamp Weekend (https://pleasanthillpark.mwcd.org/calendar/2022/09/09/bigfoot-basecamp) on Sept. 9–11, Andres said.

Ohio ranks just behind Washington, California and Florida in reported encounters, according to the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization (www.bfro.net).

The president of that organization, Matt Moneymaker, will make several appearances at the Bigfoot Basecamp Weekend. 

Old Mission Peninsula:Charming wineries, fragrant flora entice on Michigan’s Old Mission Peninsula

Moneymaker, who is also a star of the “Finding Bigfoot” TV series on Animal Planet, will host a VIP dinner at Mohican State Park lodge as part of the event. He will also explain and demonstrate new high-tech investigation equipment, including thermal-imaging drones that will be livestreaming Bigfoot hunts during the weekend, Andres said.

A Bigfoot sighting was reported in 2020 by a family camping within the 1,845-acre Pleasant Hill Lake Park, a Muskingum Water Conservation District park, Andres said.

The park adjoins other large natural areas, including 4,500-acre Mohican-Memorial State Forest and 1,100-acre Mohican State Park where other Bigfoot sightings have been alleged.

Encounters with Bigfoot have been reported in the area as far back as 1899, Andres said.

And myths and legends of a gigantic, man-like ape, also known as Sasquatch…

The First of the Mohican

First published in The Freeman’s Journal on March 24, 1976

“If at first you don’t succeed,” must have been mouthed by many Cooperstonians as they left the lakefront without having witnessed the scheduled launching of the Mohican. They did try again, and on the 4th of July, 1905, the good ship Mohican began its long career on Otsego Lake. The following reports from The Freeman’s Journal of that year tell the story:

June 29, 1905: Miss Marie Anheuser Busch to Christen Boat Thursday.”

“Thursday afternoon at 4 o’clock the new boat Mohican of the Otsego Lake Transit Co. will take her initial dip in the waters of Otsego Lake. As soon as the boat is free to move, Miss Marie Anheuser-Busch, daughter of August A. Busch and granddaughter of Adolphus Busch, will christen it with champagne and the words, “I christen thee Mohican.” The public is cordially invited to witness the ceremony, which will take place at the Corporation dock.”

July 6, 1905:“Large Steamer in Otsego Lake has Carrying Capacity of Four Hundred — Made her Initial Trip July 4th.”

“The Mohican is Launched — at about 1:40 on Saturday afternoon in response to the persuasion of a couple of jack screws placed against the bearings on either side, the big boat slid gracefully down the ways and kissed the waters of Otsego Lake. There was a high splash and the craft rode out jauntily about 50 feet, bringing taught the line, with which it was tied to its mooring at the Cooperstown Wharf. As it moved toward the water, Miss Osborne, daughter of the builder, broke a bottle of wine on the bow and spoke the words, “I christen thee Mohican.”

“Welcomed by every patron of Otsego Lake, the big…

PITTSFIELD — The generation that grew up playing “cowboys and Indians” has a chance this month to see miles beyond the brutal simplicity of that old childhood game.

Though September, the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at Berkshire Community College will provide classes about Indigenous people through its University Days program. OLLI’s classes are usually targeted toward adults 50 and older, but all are welcome to attend.

The five-week series, “We Are Still Here: Indigenous Peoples of the Northeast,” includes 19 events, among them art shows, lectures, reading groups and walking tours. All events are free, except for a flute performance by Hawk Henries that has a $5 entrance fee.

The scale of the program is a big jump from previous years, according to Katherine Kidd, a retired professor and chair of OLLI’s University Days Committee. In the past, one-day events have been offered twice a year. Before this year, the largest program was a seven-day class about women’s suffrage in 2020.

The Mohican Quilters of Loudonville have produced a quilt to be auctioned at the upcoming Loudonville Free Street Fair, with proceeds going to the fair board.

“For years, the fair has allowed our organization to show our quilt projects to be judged and shared with fairgoers,” Richelle Nicholas of the Quilters explained. “We decided to jointly make and donate a quilt to the fair to be auctioned, with proceeds going to the fair.”

Meet Garrett DeWitt:He recently took over as Loudonville administrator

The quilt auction will be conducted during the auction of prize-winning cakes and pies on the fair midway at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 5.

Nicholas said 16 of the 30 Mohican Quilters helped make the item.

“The quilt was designed with life in our rural area in mind,” Nicholas said. “Members chose patterns and made them with fabric the club purchased from the Alabaster Mouse in Loudonville, at times adding material from their own ‘stash’ to their block. Members met in March and added sashing and completed the quilt top. One of the members then quilted the layers together.”

The Mohican Quilters have been in the Loudonville community for 39 years, and meet on the second Monday of each month at the Christian Community Center (Three Cs) at 807 Valley View Drive.

Meetings start at 7 p.m. Programming at meetings includes presentations by club members, show and shares, guest speakers, or hands-on projects. New participants are always welcome.

For more information on the Quilters, contact Nicholas at mrsdnichola@aol.com.

Members are planning their first quilt show, scheduled to be held in the Loudonvilel Fair’s Hans Building during the 2023 Loudonville car Show.

R | 1h 52min | Action, Adventure, Drama | 1992

Hawkeye (Daniel Day-Lewis) leads an attack, in “The Last of the Mohicans.” (20th Century Fox)

Filmmakers who attempt to make historical dramas have to walk a careful tightrope when attempting to appeal to a mass audience. On one hand, if they focus on too much historical accuracy, the action can become bogged down to the extent that you feel like you’re watching a rather dry documentary. And, on the other hand, if they play a little too fast and lose with historical accuracy, their projects won’t be taken seriously.

Based on an 1826 novel by James Fennimore Cooper and directed by Michael Mann, 1992’s “The Last of the Mohicans” not only successfully traverses the aforementioned tightrope, it does so with self-confident assurance.

This is a bold, visionary film the likes of which one sees only once in a while. Although Cooper’s book has been adapted on the big screen numerous times, this version has the most historically accurate feel to it, and features some gorgeous outdoor photography and a highly memorable score to boot.

The film is set in 1757, during the onset of the French and Indian War (1754–1763). The British and French are viciously vying for control of eastern North America and both countries utilize Native Americans to bolster their armies. While the Mohican tribe is allied with the British, the Hurons side with the French.
