BEV HAUENSTEIN
Mount Vernon, OH
Using the natural method of eco printing, Saline Craft Show welcomes this first-timer, BEV HAUENSTEIN, the owner of TAKE JOY. Starting her work with textiles as a 4-H member, she has continued throughout life as she enters a semi-retirement phase. Under the tutelage of Raeschell Noonen of Nimby Fiber Art of Mount Vernon, OH, and Nicola Brown of Clasheen of Ireland, Bev became intrigued and experimented with all of the various leaves and flowers in my neighborhood. This art directly applies plants to textiles to alter color, apply color and create interesting designs. Everything used is natural…such as flowers, leaves, bark, and roots. Using habotai silk, silk noil, wool, cotton, and linen to make scarves, wraps, table runners, wall hangings, pillows, aprons, and bags. Find Bev in Booth 9.

Did they announce if they’re doing the 1 mile run down Michigan avenue?
If this mileage passes, has the City of Saline, for example, committed to reduce their millage by 2.0 that they no longer
need to send to the Fire Department?
It should be stated that this mileage is going to raise the taxes for many homes by $800 per year (based on a $250K SEV). There has been  no commitment that the 2.0 mil that currently exists will be replaced even though it is alluded to. That is a huge increase.
The Fire Dept. likely does have unmet needs. We have been in meetings where the Fire Chief has spoken and our impression has been that he is not fully transparent, massaging information to present a case to achieve what he wants rather than solidly and transparently defining reality and options.
