T7 By TIM DICKERSON Tribune Staff Writer Seventeen years is a long time.

For Jim and Judy Wolff of Newcomerstown, the last 17 years have been uncertain. On March 16, 1982, their daughter, Susan Wolff-Cappel, disappeared from the parking lot of a Newcomerstown grocery store, never to be seen again. Susan's disappearance left a lot of questions. Did she leave town on her own? Was she kidnapped and killed? No one seems to know. "In a way, we are still looking for Susan," said Judy Wolff, Susan's mother.

"Even if we find remains, it would be almost impossible to stop hoping for Susan to still be alive." Cappel was working at Thompson's IGA Foodliner at the time of her disappearance. Shortly after closing time, Cappel and her friend, Teresa Shepherd, were standing in the parking lot when a light blue car pulled up. The driver, who Shepherd could not see, spoke with Susan Cap-pel, who then got into the car. That was last time anyone ever saw her. March 18, 1982, would have been pay day.

But Cappel never came for her See MISSING, Page 3A Bob LaurihaTribune Jim and Judy Wolff look over a picture of their daughter Susan Wolff-Cappel who has been missing for 17 years. "We think of her constantly, but have turned it over to God and asked him for courage to get through this," said Judy Wolff. By ROSA DAVIS Tribune Staff Writer COSHOCTON Got a lead foot? Be careful. Next week, Coshocton County deputies will be conducting a traffic enforcement blitz on local roads. Sheriff David A.

Corbett announced his deputies would be out en mass from Sept. 20 to 26. This is the second phase of an enforcement blitz that began earlier in the year. "We received a $3,000 grant earlier this year to focus on speed, DUI and child passenger safety," Lt. Jon Mosier said.

"We used $1,500 earlier this year and are using the remainder for this blitz." "The money pays for the overtime costs of deputies who are involved in the program. "We feel by doing this we can reduce the number of traffic accidents," Corbett said. The number of fatal crashes in Coshocton County has dropped by approximately 60 percent from 1997 to the present. The significant drop in fatalities can be attributed to increased public awareness, citizen cooperation and increased enforcement. While fate plays a role in accidents, Corbett said, if his deputies can prevent one family from the pain of a heedless traffic death, than the project is worth the effort.

The traffic blitz is made possible, in part, by a grant from the Ohio Department of Highway Safety. "We hope residents will make an effort to be watchful of their driving," Sheriff Corbett said. -t.

Back in business: The county health board reconvenes The property owned by James H. Greenawalt on County Road (CR) 297 topped the agenda Monday. A motion to attach $3,602, the sum of the cost incurred by the county regarding the property, to Greenawalt's property tax was approved. Dale Hartle, president of the board, said the issue had been faxed to Jetta Mencer, the county prosecutor. She said it was a legal procedure.

A separate motion, regarding Greenawalt's land, determined that the health board will bid out for the demolition See BOARD, Page 3A By DEBORAH EDWARDS Tribune Staff Writer COSHOCTON No one would guess that it's been a turbulent past for the county health board based on Monday's meeting. Martin Daugherty, the newest board member, jumped right into the agenda during his first meeting. He comfortably made and seconded motions, keeping the meeting flowing at a nice pace. This is probably not a surprise, since Daugherty, a long-time Frontier Power board member, is no stranger to meetings. jl Deborah EdwatdsTribune Marc Geese, Martin Daugherty, Dale Hartle, Dr.
