Gambier is Talking About...

Cows.
A handful of local residents joined an organic dairy "herdshare progam." Residents have the option to purchase 1/20th of a cow and pay for 1/20th of its monthly upkeep in exchange for raw milk.

Panhandling.
The presence of a panhandler in the village prompted Village Council to pass an anti-panhandling ordinance this summer. The incident appeared to be isolated.

Assisting the elderly.
Gambier residents formed the organization A Hand At Home to help elderly residents who may need assistance in their homes.

A restored porch.
Cromwell Cottage, home to Kenyon's president, has a newly restored front porch. Cromwell celebrates its one-hundredth anniversary this year.

Construction.
The Horvitz Art Building, a cutting-edge studio arts facility of 40,000 square feet, is under way. The building is expected to open in the fall of 2012.
