Good morning, Holmes County. Spring cleaning takes on community-wide significance this month as Coshocton prepares for its 21st annual Big Clean-Up on April 26. With free donuts, t-shirts, and the satisfaction of civic pride on offer, this collaborative beautification effort represents the perfect way to shake off winter's remnants while connecting with neighbors. Mark your calendars for this refreshing opportunity to roll up your sleeves alongside fellow community members.
Healthcare and wellness initiatives continue strengthening our regional safety net, with the Tuscarawas Clinic for the Working Uninsured seeking new leadership after Pat Warther's impactful 11-year tenure. Meanwhile, older adults can step into better health with the Falls Prevention Program's new spring trail walks launching April 25 at Walnut Hills Retirement Community. These walks offer both physical benefits and social connection—a perfect combination as we embrace the season's warmer days.

☕️ What's Brewing Locally
🧹 Coshocton calls on community to clean up the town together. The 21st annual Big Coshocton Clean-Up will take place on Saturday, April 26, starting with registration at 8:30 a.m. at the court square gazebo. Volunteers will receive assigned areas, free donuts, water, garbage bags, and the first 50 participants get complimentary t-shirts. Special collection efforts include Kimble's container for old furniture at the fairgrounds and Boy Scouts collecting old appliances for recycling. The United Way of Coshocton County invites individuals, families, businesses, and civic groups to join this community beautification effort.
🏥 Clinic for uninsured workers seeks new leader after director retires. Pat Warther is stepping down from the Tuscarawas Clinic for the Working Uninsured after nearly 11 years as executive director. Under her leadership, the Dover-based clinic expanded services, adding a dental program in 2016 and extending eligibility to all Tuscarawas County workers in 2023. The clinic provides primary medical care, lab testing, prescription assistance and limited dental care to the working uninsured. Applications for her replacement are being accepted until April 18, with the new director expected to oversee all clinic operations.
