Local news courtesy of: The Daily & Sunday Jeffersonian Posted 8/13/99 Noble lawmen find NASA official in cave Kevin Macri The Daily Jeffersonian CALDWELL – Noble County Sheriff Landon T. Smith apprehended a Florida man Tuesday who was found living in a cave near Wolf Run State Park. Smith said his office received a call last Sunday of a person in a car with Florida license plates who was behaving strangely. Deputies were unable to locate the vehicle. Tuesday, a second call was received regarding a vehicle that matched the same description parked on a township road in the area of the park. When deputies arrived on the scene, they found the vehicle packed full of supplies, but could not locate the driver. Smith had the vehicle transported to the Noble County Jail and began a search. “We got to thinking that possibly something had happened to the driver. We went out to search the area and tracked a person through a field and wooded areas,” he said. “We then found rope that led down embankments and ravines. When we got to the bottom of a second ravine we found him in a cave. He was trying to boil eggs. It was real smoky. In fact, some of the deputies didn’t like it in his cave.” Smith said the man, Lloyd Albright, 47, of Satellite Beach, Fla., was cooperative, but because of his suspicious behavior, Smith placed him under arrest in order to remove him from the property. According to Smith, Albright said he was hiding in the cave to avoid meteor showers which he said will hit the Atlantic Ocean and cause a 200-foot tidal wave, wreaking havoc on the East Coast and Florida. Upon investigating Albright further, Smith found the man to be a computer programer for NASA. In his vehicle, a late model Saturn, he found 16 weapons with ammunition, camping gear, dried food, blankets, clothing and 200 pounds of wheat. “I spoke with his wife and she said he was concerned about the meteor shower. She said he wanted the rest of the family to join him but they declined his offer.” Smith said Albright said he learned about the cave by searching the Internet...

Couple to marry at Muskingum fair John Lowe The Daily Jeffersonian ZANESVILLE – The Muskingum County Blue Ribbon Fair will open here Sunday to its 153rd annual run with the sounds of the animals, the midway, the entertainment by stars and ... wedding bells. Wedding bells? A Zanesville couple who met at the fair a year ago will return next Friday at 2 p.m., to the spot where they met, to pledge their wedding vows. They expect to attract a lot of attention. You can attend a lot of attractions – throughout the week. You don't have to wait until Friday. This fair is a real circus ... or, rather, a real circus is at this fair – on the northwest corner of the fairgrounds. Lions and tigers and mares – oh why? Because a fair wouldn't be a fair without the horses ... and pigs, and sheep, and all of the other 4-H animals and projects – hundreds of them. In fact, about the only thing that rivals the number of exhibits is the number of camping families – 213 have been accommodated on the fairgrounds. "And they bring everything," quipped Darrel Cubbison, president of the Muskingum County Fair Board. "Some of them use this as their vacation," he said. "Putting 213 campers in here is not easy." Yet, the fair board seems to have done it and done it with grace. That was obvious during the news media preview Thursday night. Despite the abundance of amusement rides (more than 20), food booths and project exhibits on site already, the grounds appeared uncluttered. It would be difficult to spot a better entertainment value. The admission to everything – with two exceptions – tallies to a mere $7 each...

Watching beautiful crafts being created through old Colonial methods brings memories of times past, when life was lived at a slower pace and families spent evenings around the fire conversing with one another as they worked on delicate hand-made projects. During this year’s festival, visitors will be able to observe the art of bobbin lace weaving, rug braiding, fine needlework, tatting and candlewicking. All these unique pieces will be created using methods which are centuries old. Golda Cooper, of Canfield, first learned bobbin lace techniques 13 years ago. Since then she has studied under several different teachers from the United States and Europe. She is a member of the local Heritage Lace Guild, Great Lakes Lace Guild of Michigan, Hollies Lace Guild of England and the International Old Lacers Guild. Over the past eight years, Cooper has demonstrated lace-making at several festivals. Bobbin lace is a form of off-loom weaving that was developed in the 15th or 16th century. It evolved from basic simple forms to the very elaborate masterpieces by the 17th century, then was gradually replaced by machine-made lace   This form of weaving is worked on a firm pillow to which a pricked pattern is fastened. The threads, held on bobbins, are twisted, a pin is inserted to hold the tension on the thread and another twist is made. There are only two different movements of bobbins in making the lace; a twist to the left and a cross to the right. Robin Mermer, of Trumble County, learned the art of needlework at the age of five. She has been demonstrating Colonial-type needlework for the past five years at the Yankee Peddler Festival in Canal Fulton. Mermer has taught various needlework classes and has won numerous awards for her unique work. She is also a professional musician and an on-going culinary arts school student. During Colonial times needlework played a major role in the everyday life of women of all ages. School girls were instructed in various needle arts, usually samples and motifs, as part of their curriculum. As their skills increased so did the level of difficulty and complexity in stitching. In modern times needlework continues to be an important part in keeping the past alive. To those who seek to catch a glimpse of the past, these pieces of needlework speak volumes about the life of Colonial women...   For the full story, pick up a copy of today's Jeffersonian.     Obituaries Martha Orrison, Belmont Kenneth Pryor, Barnesville Frederick Zimmerman, New Philadelphia Upcoming Events for Aug. 13 Today Guernsey Christian Home Educators Of Cambridge, 7:00 p.m., Byesville Assembly Of God Church 102 S. 7th St..

Arbitrator: Turner out, Smith in at Shenandoah District teacher April Smith awarded Lady Zeps' varsity girls hoops coaching position Shawn Hatem and Kevin Macri The Daily Jeffersonian SARAHSVILLE – Noble Local School District Superintendent Jerry Russell said the American Arbitration Association ruled in favor of district teacher April Smith, making her the district’s new head girls basketball coach. At the request of the Shenandoah High School girls basketball team and parents, the board voted against district policy by hiring Gary “Tut” Turner as girls coach, the arbitrator said. Arbitrator James M. Mancini said, “The grievance is sustained. The board violated the parties’ agreement by denying grievant April Smith the position of head girls varsity basketball coach. As a remedy, the board shall immediately assign the position of Shenandoah High School Head Basketball Coach to Ms. Smith. In addition, the Grievant is to be provided with two weeks compensatory payment in the amount of $485 for time lost as a result of the board’s action in denying her the opportunity to work the summer preseason player programs.” Russell said he has received no comment from students or parents regarding the matter. “This ruling makes April Smith the coach next year,” Russell said. “I don’t look for any further action by the board because this is binding on them.” For Turner, the news was devastating. “It’s been very upsetting for me. Basically, this decision put me in retirement,” Turner said by phone Friday. “I’m going to try to pick up the pieces and move on, but I a officially retired from the game of basketball. I won’t be a head coach anymore. “The emotional roller-coaster is too much to take,” Turner added. “I never even got a call from anyone in an authoratative position from Shenandoah. I got a call from a parent. I thought it could have been handled better.” Turner rebuilt the Shenandoah girls basketball program in his two years after taking over a program that went 6-13 in 1996-97. In his first year, the Lady Zeps went 8-13. This past season, Shenandoah posted an impressive 14-8 mark including a sectional final appearance...
