Lifelong resident of the Captina creek watershed. I grew up hunting, fishing and exploring all the special places the watershed has to offer.

​Ted Cope
Became a permanent resident of Belmont county in 1972. For 30 years I was involved with operation and management of Raven Rocks Concrete.  We delivered redi-mix concrete to 5 counties in Ohio and 5 counties in West Virginia. My years managing a small beef herd have taught much about the importance of sod cover.  As we learn more about how to farm and produce food in sod utilizing no-till practices our soil will sustain us.

Crystal Lorimor
Crystal did not grow up in Belmont County but has now called the area home for over twenty years. Her ancestors started calling the Captina Creek area home back in 1798 and they were some of the first pioneers.  Dear to her heart is a diary (from her 3rd great grandfather Elijah Perkins). It gives us an idea of Captina Creek from over two hundred years ago. The cabin of her 2nd Grandparents (James and Catharine Simeral Creighton) shows us rural life from the late 1800s'. Crystal has a bachelor’s degree in communication and a master’s degree in public administration from Ohio University.  She spent almost twenty years working in higher education and now serves as the Interim Director for the Community Improvement Corporation/Department of Development of Belmont County.  In her spare time, Crystal loves to hike and walk as well as research local history, specifically Wayne Township history. ​
