Keith L. Smith, Associate Vice President for Ag. Admin. and Director, OSU Extension TDD No. 800-589-8292 (Ohio only) or 614-292-1868 Carroll County, Ohio i “ In the planning and designing of new communities, housing projects, and urban renewal, the planners both public and private, need to give explicit consideration to the kind of world that is being created for the children who will be growing up in these settings. Particular attention should be given to the opportunities which the environment presents or precludes for involvement of children with persons both older and younger than themselves.” -- Urie Bronfenbrenner Two Worlds of Childhood The Carroll County Sustainable Comprehensive Plan started as a public survey conducted by the Land Use Committee of the Carroll County Chamber of Commerce. The results demonstrated a need for planning for the future. The Regional Planning Commission appointed a steering committee that selected workgroup chairs, got the public involved and oversaw the project. This sustainable comprehensive plan was made possible through the dedicated work of the many citizens of Carroll County who volunteered their time and energies over the past five years in an effort to make their community a better place for the current residents and future generations. We are indebted to The Ohio State University Extension Service for providing technical writers under the guidance of Myra Moss and William Grunkenmeyer, Extension Specialists in Community Development. Their help made this project a reality. The plan was funded through a grant from the Carroll County Commissioners. -- Tom Konst, Chairperson Carroll County, Ohio ii Table of Contents Comprehensive Plan Executive Summary

Plan What is Comprehensive Planning? To plan is to anticipate and accommodate change. While change is inevitable, its breadth and depth are difficult to measure leading many to shy away from any process, which ultimately guides us to a confrontation with uncertainty. Planning has thus often been viewed negatively because human nature seldom embraces the unknown. But, in fact planning enhances our ability to manage change and reduces the fear of the unknown. Planning accomplishes its mission by helping us identify the resources available to us and encouraging us to determine where we want to be as a community at some reasonable point in the future.

    Appendices to the Year 2000 Ohio Water Resource Inventory Bob Taft Governor, State of Ohio Christopher Jones Director, Ohio Environmental Protection Agency P.O. Box 1049 Lazarus Government Center, 122 S. Front Street Columbus, Ohio 43216-1049 Sept 11, 2000 Appendix A. OHIOSPORTFISH CONSUMPTIONADVISORY OHIODEPARTMENTOFHEALTHYEAR2000 FISHINGSEASON What Health Benefits do I get From Eating Sport Fish? Fish are nutritious and good to eat. Many doctors suggest that eating one half-pound of fish each week helps to prevent heart disease. Almost any kind of fish may have real health benefits when it replaces a high-fat source of protein in the diet. Fish eaten often provide valuable vitamins and minerals, high-quality protein, and beneficial oils that are low in saturated fat. Why is a Fish Consumption Advisory Needed? While most Ohio sport fish are of high quality, low levels of chemicals like polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), mercury, and lead have been found in some fish from certain waters. To ensure the continued good health of Ohioans, the Ohio Department of Health offers an advisory for how often these fish can be safely eaten. An advisory is advice, and should not be viewed as law or regulation. It is intended to help anglers and their families make educated choices about: Where you fish, what types of fish you eat, how to limit the amount and frequency of fish you consume, and how you prepare fish for cooking. By following these advisories, you can get the health benefits of fish and reduce unwanted contaminants. What Groups are Most Sensitive to Contaminatants? Contaminants in fish can be harmful to people of all ages, but the fetus and young children are especially sensitive to contaminants because their organs and systems are not yet fully developed.
