Rose Family Offers Challenge Grant for Christmas Run Pool
Mark Gooch, chairman of the Friends of Christmas Run Pool (FOCRP) got some welcome news when a potential donor to the Christmas Run Pool Fund offered a one-for-one matching challenge grant to boost their fundraising efforts to keep the pool open.
The challenge is made possible from the Rose Family Charitable Fund, established to honor Grant and Margaret Rose, long-time Wooster residents. This fund will match all donations up to a total of $25,000, made between now and June 6, 2010, which is the opening day of the Christmas Run Pool.
“By meeting this challenge, we would be able to add $50,000 to what we have already received,” said Gooch, “which would get us fairly close to our initial goal. It also gives potential donors and businesses a greater incentive to support some of the fundraising activities planned by the committee. We are extremely grateful to the Rose family for making this challenge grant possible,” he added.
All donations qualify for a charitable tax deduction and checks should be made payable to the Wayne County Community Foundation, listing Christmas Run Pool on the check memo line. Donors will be recognized by FOCRP based on their contributions within the below five giving levels:
• Whale $5,000 and up
• Marlin $1,000-4,999
• Dolphin $500-999

Up River Concert at The Wilderness Center Fri., May 21, 7 p.m.
In the 1700s, British sailing ships carried immigrants from Ireland and Scotland to America, a new land of hope and promise. These people brought their culture with them and a centerpiece of that culture was their music: beautiful airs, haunting ballads, and fun-loving jigs and reels. They settled in Appalachia, where their music took hold and established itself as a pillar of traditional American music. This is the music of Up River.
Up River plays traditional Celtic and Appalachian Mountain music that has been passed down through the generations and is rarely heard on the TV or the radio. The music is woven together with stories of the people who carried it from their Celtic homelands, and of the people who carried it forward to us, and to you.
At the core of Up River are band historian Dan Moorefield on vocals, piano, and guitar and Teresa Morrison on the Irish whistle, tenor banjo, mandolin, bouzouki, and guitar. Myra Morrison is featured on fiddle and vocals. She is an award-winning fiddler and fiddle teacher, bringing much of her style and many tunes from West Virginia. Rounding out the band is Dennis Kempthorn, who plays a driving bass to add power to the music.
No other bands put on a show like Up River. The audience leaves not only having been entertained by great music but also enriched and connected to its heritage. $8/TWC member; $10/nonmember. Children 15 and younger half price, if accompanied by an adult. We’d like to thank our sponsor, Regas & Haag, Attorneys-at-Law. See you there! Visit www.wildernesscenter.org or call 1-877-359-5235 for more information.

It also gives potential donors and businesses a greater incentive to support some of the fundraising activities planned by the committee. We are extremely grateful to the Rose family for making this challenge grant possible,” he added.
All donations qualify for a charitable tax deduction and checks should be made payable to the Wayne County Community Foundation, listing Christmas Run Pool on the check memo line. Donors will be recognized by FOCRP based on their contributions within the below five giving levels:

• Marlin $1,000-4,999
• Dolphin $500-999
• Starfish $100-499
• Goldfish $0-99
The WCCF is a tax exempt public charity that consists of nearly 300 separate funds that were generously donated to benefit the community. Since 1978, it has awarded over $43 million to the community in the form of grants and scholarships.

Up River Concert at The Wilderness Center Fri., May 21, 7 p.m.
In the 1700s, British sailing ships carried immigrants from Ireland and Scotland to America, a new land of hope and promise. These people brought their culture with them and a centerpiece of that culture was their music: beautiful airs, haunting ballads, and fun-loving jigs and reels. They settled in Appalachia, where their music took hold and established itself as a pillar of traditional American music. This is the music of Up River.
Up River plays traditional Celtic and Appalachian Mountain music that has been passed down through the generations and is rarely heard on the TV or the radio. The music is woven together with stories of the people who carried it from their Celtic homelands, and of the people who carried it forward to us, and to you.
At the core of Up River are band historian Dan Moorefield on vocals, piano, and guitar and Teresa Morrison on the Irish whistle, tenor banjo, mandolin, bouzouki, and guitar. Myra Morrison is featured on fiddle and vocals. She is an award-winning fiddler and fiddle teacher, bringing much of her style and many tunes from West Virginia. Rounding out the band is Dennis Kempthorn, who plays a driving bass to add power to the music.
No other bands put on a show like Up River. The audience leaves not only having been entertained by great music but also enriched and connected to its heritage. $8/TWC member; $10/nonmember. Children 15 and younger half price, if accompanied by an adult. We’d like to thank our sponsor, Regas & Haag, Attorneys-at-Law. See you there! Visit www.wildernesscenter.org or call 1-877-359-5235 for more information.

Up River Concert at The Wilderness Center Fri., May 21, 7 p.m.
In the 1700s, British sailing ships carried immigrants from Ireland and Scotland to America, a new land of hope and promise. These people brought their culture with them and a centerpiece of that culture was their music: beautiful airs, haunting ballads, and fun-loving jigs and reels. They settled in Appalachia, where their music took hold and established itself as a pillar of traditional American music. This is the music of Up River.
Up River plays traditional Celtic and Appalachian Mountain music that has been passed down through the generations and is rarely heard on the TV or the radio. The music is woven together with stories of the people who carried it from their Celtic homelands, and of the people who carried it forward to us, and to you.
At the core of Up River are band historian Dan Moorefield on vocals, piano, and guitar and Teresa Morrison on the Irish whistle, tenor banjo, mandolin, bouzouki, and guitar. Myra Morrison is featured on fiddle and vocals. She is an award-winning fiddler and fiddle teacher, bringing much of her style and many tunes from West Virginia. Rounding out the band is Dennis Kempthorn, who plays a driving bass to add power to the music.
No other bands put on a show like Up River. The audience leaves not only having been entertained by great music but also enriched and connected to its heritage. $8/TWC member; $10/nonmember. Children 15 and younger half price, if accompanied by an adult. We’d like to thank our sponsor, Regas & Haag, Attorneys-at-Law. See you there! Visit www.wildernesscenter.org or call 1-877-359-5235 for more information.

The Wilderness Center is a nonprofit nature center located one mile west of Wilmot, Ohio just north of highway 250. The Center is dedicated to Nature Education, Wildlife Conservation, Natural History Research, and Community Service. The Center derives its support from memberships and donations. It is not a government agency and is not supported by taxes.
Start: 05/20/2010
Shreve citizens are continuing to gather the names of all active and reservists men and women from the community (Triway and West Holmes School Districts) who are serving in the Armed Forces. Every effort will be made to see that every man or woman will be recognized at the Shreve Homecoming Rally, which will take place Friday, July 9th. This will jump start the Homecoming by honoring those brave soldiers and their families for their
sacrifice. Relatives are asked to provide the names of men and women, additions or corrections to the list that has NOT already been reported to Jayne
Neal by calling 330-567-9229, 330-464-4382 or shreveneals@wmconnect.com. Last year, 107 men and women were honored. An invitation will be given to their relatives to come forward at that time to receive the community's appreciation and honor to all of their families. The families and/or persons representing each service person are asked to come forward (when the service person's name is announced from the stage) to the open area in front of the stage. As a group each of the
branches of service will then be honored together.
Start: 05/20/2010 4:00 pm
Joe Kovach, who studies ecological pest management at the Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center (OARDC), will hold a free public tour of his fruit and vegetable polyculture plots at 4 p.m. on Thursday, May 20th at 2305 Dover Rd. (U.S. 250) in Wooster.
The plots grow various combinations of annual and perennial crops, tall crops and short ones, in raised beds or not, under high tunnels or not, to determine which way works best to minimize pests and maximize profits.
“There’s been a lot of interest (in seeing the plots), especially among urban market gardeners,” said Kovach, who also holds an appointment with Ohio State University Extension. “I decided to offer the tours at set times to streamline things a bit.”
High-value crops, including apples, peaches, green beans, blueberries, raspberries, strawberries and salad tomatoes, are the focus. Grossing $10 per row foot — equal to $90,000 an acre — is the goal.
The plots are ideal for urban and small-scale farming, Kovach said. They’re just 44 feet by 60 feet in size; use only minimal pesticides — only when there’s no alternative; produce a lot of food in a relatively small space; and grow foods that are both good to eat and easy to sell.
The varied crop types, heights and seasons, plus the ramped-up biodiversity that results, are designed to make life harder on pests and easier on the grower.
Tours are set for June 24, July 22 and Aug 19 as well, all at the same time and place and also on Thursdays.
The plots are just south of the main OARDC campus.
Call 330-263-3846 or e-mail kovach.49@osu.edu for more information.
OARDC and OSU Extension are the research and outreach arms, respectively, of Ohio State’s College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences.

Rose Family Offers Challenge Grant for Christmas Run Pool
Mark Gooch, chairman of the Friends of Christmas Run Pool (FOCRP) got some welcome news when a potential donor to the Christmas Run Pool Fund offered a one-for-one matching challenge grant to boost their fundraising efforts to keep the pool open.
The challenge is made possible from the Rose Family Charitable Fund, established to honor Grant and Margaret Rose, long-time Wooster residents. This fund will match all donations up to a total of $25,000, made between now and June 6, 2010, which is the opening day of the Christmas Run Pool.
“By meeting this challenge, we would be able to add $50,000 to what we have already received,” said Gooch, “which would get us fairly close to our initial goal. It also gives potential donors and businesses a greater incentive to support some of the fundraising activities planned by the committee. We are extremely grateful to the Rose family for making this challenge grant possible,” he added.
All donations qualify for a charitable tax deduction and checks should be made payable to the Wayne County Community Foundation, listing Christmas Run Pool on the check memo line. Donors will be recognized by FOCRP based on their contributions within the below five giving levels:
• Whale $5,000 and up
• Marlin $1,000-4,999
• Dolphin $500-999
• Starfish $100-499
• Goldfish $0-99
The WCCF is a tax exempt public charity that consists of nearly 300 separate funds that were generously donated to benefit the community. Since 1978, it has awarded over $43 million to the community in the form of grants and scholarships.

Rose Family Offers Challenge Grant for Christmas Run Pool
Mark Gooch, chairman of the Friends of Christmas Run Pool (FOCRP) got some welcome news when a potential donor to the Christmas Run Pool Fund offered a one-for-one matching challenge grant to boost their fundraising efforts to keep the pool open.
The challenge is made possible from the Rose Family Charitable Fund, established to honor Grant and Margaret Rose, long-time Wooster residents. This fund will match all donations up to a total of $25,000, made between now and June 6, 2010, which is the opening day of the Christmas Run Pool.
“By meeting this challenge, we would be able to add $50,000 to what we have already received,” said Gooch, “which would get us fairly close to our initial goal. It also gives potential donors and businesses a greater incentive to support some of the fundraising activities planned by the committee. We are extremely grateful to the Rose family for making this challenge grant possible,” he added.
All donations qualify for a charitable tax deduction and checks should be made payable to the Wayne County Community Foundation, listing Christmas Run Pool on the check memo line. Donors will be recognized by FOCRP based on their contributions within the below five giving levels:
• Whale $5,000 and up
• Marlin $1,000-4,999
• Dolphin $500-999
• Starfish $100-499
• Goldfish $0-99
The WCCF is a tax exempt public charity that consists of nearly 300 separate funds that were generously donated to benefit the community. Since 1978, it has awarded over $43 million to the community in the form of grants and scholarships.

Up River Concert at The Wilderness Center Fri., May 21, 7 p.m.
In the 1700s, British sailing ships carried immigrants from Ireland and Scotland to America, a new land of hope and promise. These people brought their culture with them and a centerpiece of that culture was their music: beautiful airs, haunting ballads, and fun-loving jigs and reels. They settled in Appalachia, where their music took hold and established itself as a pillar of traditional American music. This is the music of Up River.
Up River plays traditional Celtic and Appalachian Mountain music that has been passed down through the generations and is rarely heard on the TV or the radio. The music is woven together with stories of the people who carried it from their Celtic homelands, and of the people who carried it forward to us, and to you.
At the core of Up River are band historian Dan Moorefield on vocals, piano, and guitar and Teresa Morrison on the Irish whistle, tenor banjo, mandolin, bouzouki, and guitar. Myra Morrison is featured on fiddle and vocals. She is an award-winning fiddler and fiddle teacher, bringing much of her style and many tunes from West Virginia. Rounding out the band is Dennis Kempthorn, who plays a driving bass to add power to the music.
No other bands put on a show like Up River. The audience leaves not only having been entertained by great music but also enriched and connected to its heritage. $8/TWC member; $10/nonmember. Children 15 and younger half price, if accompanied by an adult. We’d like to thank our sponsor, Regas & Haag, Attorneys-at-Law. See you there! Visit www.wildernesscenter.org or call 1-877-359-5235 for more information.
Family Astronomy: Spring Skies at The Wilderness Center Sat., May 22, 2 p.m.
