Mark’s Musings Mark’s Musings

Pirates! Oh my. No, we’re not talking about the Pi-rates of the Caribbean ride at Disney World. We’re talking about Somali pi-rates here. Congratulations to the U.S. Navy Seals for getting the Captain of the Mauersk Alabama freight-er back. We’re also glad that our leaders had the courage to make this hap-pen. Speaking of Somalia, haven’t we had some trou-ble with this little country before? Yea, thought so. Does the word Mogadishu ring a bell with anyone? Currently, it is our under-standing that merchant freighters are not allowed to carry weapons. Perhaps this may have to change?Okay, time to switch to a lighter topic! How about the fi nish at the Masters? I was rooting for Kenny Per-ry, because he hails from a little town called Frank-

lin, Kentucky, still lives there with his family and would have been the oldest Masters champion at 48. A good age if I do say so my-self. Nice to see that guys that age are still able to get things done. You must admit that the little battle between Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson was fun to watch despite neither of them winning. Or, maybe you watched Boston Uni-versity claim the college hockey crown over Miami University (yes, the one in Ohio!). Miami was ahead by two goals with one min-ute to go in the third period and, uh, oh – that tainted Ohio sports thing caught up to the Redhawks with Boston coming back and winning in the extra pe-riod. Now if we could just get The Indians moving in the right direction!Okay, you’re probably thinking – do you really have that much spare time on your hands Mark? No, of course not. Our graph-ics artist Bryan Fox likes hockey and I watched a bit of the Masters. I hope ev-eryone celebrated Easter in their own fashion – one of our families’ traditions

(on my wife’s side) is to tee up hard boiled eggs and hit them with a golf club. Nice. This event provides some laughter and prob-ably something for the skunks that hang around the house to eat as well.You might wonder what The Beacon is up to these days? Well, we are com-ing up on our fi rst anniver-sary of publishing – which in this economy might be considered a small miracle. Perhaps. The community has been extremely sup-portive of our publication as have the many advertis-ers that we consider part of our family. The Beacon is all about local – we’re lo-cally owned, we publish local photos and news, we employ local talent, and we support local events, orga-nizations and causes. I wish we could print locally – but there are no newspaper presses in our community. Maybe we can work on that someday. Our website – such as it is – even gets a lot of hits. Not bad for PDFs. We’re working on that. Who reads The Bea-con? I suppose our friends, families, advertisers and a whole lot of other folks in

Coshocton County. How do we know? They tell us. We don’t have any fancy surveys – we just know because of word of mouth. And that has always been the most reliable form of advertising. That’s good enough for us. Thanks peo-ple of Coshocton County for helping us through our fi rst year. We hope to con-tinue to “Shine a Positive Light on Coshocton Coun-ty” even more brightly dur-ing our second.

The Board of Trustees of the Coshocton Public Li-brary announces the ap-pointment of Renee Croft to the position of Director of the Library. Croft will as-sume the position in early May. Serving in the interim will be Assistant Director Mike Ontko. Croft, former-ly a resident of Coshocton County, is currently Library Facilities Projects Manager at the Maryland State De-partment of Education, Di-vision of Library Develop-ment and Services. Croft earned a Bachelor of Arts with departmental

honors from Case Western Reserve University and a Master of Library Science from Kent State University. She began her career as a Reference Librarian at John McIntire Public Library in Zanesville, and was Head of Outreach Services for the Newark Public Library System before becoming Director of Holmes County District Public Library in Millersburg. While at Hol-mes County Library Croft oversaw construction of a new main library, completed the renovation and expan-sion of two branch libraries,

administered the migration to a fully automated library circulation system and im-plemented Internet access for the public. In 1997, Croft became the Executive Director and Treasurer of MOLO Region-al Library System, where she was responsible for the administration of staff train-ing and technology support programs for a 32 member library cooperative. While at MOLO, Croft received seven library grant awards, collaborated with two other Regional Library Systems to provide a training series, “Serving Tweens” (children ages 9 - 12) and partnered with two other Regional Library systems and Bel-mont Technical College to implement Ohio’s first web based library staff training programs. Croft was appointed to the position of Library Ad-ministrator for the Somerset County Library System in Princess Anne, Maryland, beginning in 2005 where, among other accomplish-ments, she completed the library system’s long range service plan, implemented

customer service enhance-ments resulting in an 83% increase in circulation, and wrote a successful Gates Foundation grant to develop a mobile computer training lab. Since 2008, Croft has been at the Maryland State Department of Education where she is responsible for coordinating and monitor-ing a state grant program for construction, expansion and renovation of public librar-ies for the state of Mary-land. Croft brings an out-standing knowledge of cur-rent library trends to the position of Library Direc-tor, having spent ten years in administration of library systems in Ohio and Mary-land. She has demonstrated effective leadership in pub-lic library services and pol-icy management, and her knowledge of grant writing and fundraising is an asset that will serve the library well as funding dwindles and libraries across the State begin to look for innovative ways to raise revenue. Croft will be returning to her family home in Coshocton County.

Outdoorsmen and women of all ages will en-joy the Coshocton County Sportsman's Dinner and Auction on April 18. The event will be held at the National Guard Readi-ness Center, 24680 Air-port Road in Coshocton. Tickets for the dinner are $22 for adults and $15 for children 12 and under. The ticket price includes a ca-tered dinner, door prize drawing and a chance to bid on valuable sports-men's gear and other mer-chandise. There will also be children's door prizes. The doors will open at 6:00 p.m. and the dinner will be-gin at 7:00 p.m. For more information or to purchase tickets in advance call the Coshocton Convention and Visitors Bureau at (740) 622-4877 or go to www.visitcoshocton.com.According to Belinda Williamson, Director of the Coshocton County Convention and Visitors Bureau, this sportsman's dinner grew out of an ap-preciation of our great out-doors in Coshocton. "We wanted to have a nice event like this to acknowledge all the outdoor recreation op-portunities we have in Co-shocton," said Williamson. "Hunting and fishing ac-tivities bring in a tremen-dous amount of revenue to our county each year. It is actually our top tourism

revenue generator."Williamson adds that this dinner is not just for hunt-ers but for anyone who appreciates our natural re-sources. "This gathering will be for all who enjoy spending time outdoors in Coshocton, whether it's walking the towpath, swimming at Lake Park, bird-watching, hiking, hunting, golfing, fishing or biking," she said. "We are so fortunate to have so many outdoor recreation opportunities in Coshocton and we often take that for granted. You'd be amazed at the number of visitors who travel here each year and spend time and dol-lars here enjoying what our county has to offer."Numerous door prizes will be awarded at the dinner such as gift certificates, Ohio State merchandise, outdoor and gardening ac-cessories and of course, hunting equipment. Kids’ door prizes will also be in-cluded. "For the auction, we’ll have season passes to the Lake Park Aquatic Cen-ter, an overnight stay at the Coshocton Village Inn & Suites, Amish quilts, and other outdoor items," add-ed Williamson. Auction items for the sportsman's dinner are still coming in, but will include a Knight Wolverine 209 50 cal and Knight Disc

Extreme 50 cal muzzle-loaders, Nikon Super High Power Optics, Columbia River Alaska Pro Hunter knife, Bushnell 10x25 op-tics, Browning Hunting Heritage knife, Leupold Limited Edition knife, Bushnell infrared night vision camera, Tracker re-chargeable sport light, and a Tri Tronic Classic 70 dog trainer. The sportsman's din-ner is being held the same weekend as the 18th An-nual UKC Hunting Beagle Nationals that will be held at the Coshocton County Fairgrounds on April 18-19. This is the second year for this national event to be held in Coshocton and spectators are welcome. Visit the UKC website for more information at www.ukcdogs.com.

For more information or to purchase tickets for the Coshocton Sportsman's Dinner on April 18, call the Coshocton Conven-tion and Visitors Bureau at (740) 622-4877 or 1-800-338-4724 or go to www.visitcoshocton.com.

“The Morning Trumpet” Coshocton Community Choir Concert

‘The Morning Trum-pet’ is the theme of the Coshocton Community Choir’s Spring Concert on Sunday, April 26 at 3:00 p.m. Over 200 musicians from throughout central Ohio will be performing at Coshocton High School’s McKinley Auditorium. Musical selections dur-ing the 90-minute concert span the centuries as three choirs—the Coshocton Community Adult Choir, the Children’s Choir and the Youth Chorale perform a mix of sacred and early American choral music. Tickets are $8 for adults and $5 for students. The choir’s founder and director, Charles R. Snyder, says he selected ‘The Morning Trumpet’ theme based on the popu-lar hymn. “It happens to be one of my favorite early American hymns and one that this group hasn’t sung until now,” he stated. Sny-

der says that trumpets were of great significance in the 17th and 18th centuries since trumpets were re-served for the king. “That is one of the reasons so much sacred music of that time period used trumpets, as composers wrote for the King,” he explained. “Since our concert comes two weeks after Easter this year, ‘The Morning Trum-pet’ was a natural choice for a theme, especially since our spring concert always begins with a trumpet fan-fare as our processional.” Along with traditional sacred pieces, the concert will feature several early American numbers. “The Children’s Choir will ex-plore the early American theme with a new arrange-ment of the spiritual, Wit-ness,” explained Snyder, “and the Youth Chorale will perform settings of the familiar early Ameri-can hymns, Simple Gifts

and How Can I Keep From Singing. The three choirs will join together to sing the popular American camp song, When the Saints Go Marching In, and the audi-ence will be invited to join us in singing the last cho-rus.” The adult choir will also perform numbers from four choral masterworks written by Hans Leo Has-sler, Dietrich Buxtehude, Paul Christiansen, and Ja-cob Handl. “I think the au-dience will appreciate an arrangement of Amazing Grace by John Coates, Jr., and a rhythmic setting of the hymn All Creatures of Our God and King, based on a text by Francis of As-sisi,” added Snyder. “As is our tradition at the conclu-sion of the concert, Com-munity Choir alumni will be invited to join the cur-rent choir in singing Beau-tiful Savior and Peter Lut-kin’s The Lord Bless You

and Keep You.” All three choirs were founded and are conducted by Charles R. Snyder. He is also the conductor of the 200-voice All-Ohio Youth Choir that performs each year at the Ohio State Fair. The Coshocton Community Choir is now is it 38th sea-son, and has commissioned several arrangements from well-known composers. Tickets for ‘The Morn-ing Trumpet’ Concert are $8 for adults and $5 for stu-dents and are available at the door or by calling Busi-ness Manager, Lee Bown at (740) 622-3960. Tick-ets are also available from these outlets: Liberty Lady in Roscoe Village; Good News Bookstore, Buehlers, and Marilyn’s Natural Foods in Coshocton; and Baker’s Foods in Newcom-erstown.

Sponsored by Farm Credit Services of Mid-America, the OSU Exten-sion Advisory Committee held their annual recogni-tion luncheon at Roberta’s Catering on Pine Street in Coshocton. The event hon-ors deserving people in the community that work with youth and help further the mission of the OSU Exten-sion Office. First to be rec-ognized was Jean Rausch, who has worked with the Orange Blossoms 4-H club for 34 years with a spe-cialty in foods. Rausch has served local 4-H youth for 53 years and has served two generations of Coshocton County youth. Rausch said about her award, “It’s just an honor. I’ve enjoyed all 53 years working with the youth. I have lots of special memories”. Marissa Mul-lett recognized the staff

of the North Appalachian Experimental Watershed for their, “contribution in research and helping farm-ers across the country”. Mullett stated that the ded-icated staff at the Water-shed, “works closely with ODNR and are certainly a friend of 4-H, conducting numerous tours, judging at area events and providing knowledge and research that helps conserve our soil for future generations of farmers”. Jan Luce recog-nized Lesa Winegar, who has tirelessly volunteered her time and talent with the 4-H Family and Consum-er Sciences group. Hav-ing been an advisor with the Krafty Kritters 4-H club for the past six years, Luce stated that Winegar, “makes the program more inviting, leading two work-shops in family life at three

different time sessions. She gets the instructors, prepares the food and runs a great event. Lesa has also conducted a Home for The Holiday’s workshop that was a great success. I de-pend on this lady for many things. She is just a won-derful lady!” Trish Wilson was awarded the Commu-nity Development award for being “extremely com-munity oriented”. Trish and Keith Wilson are involved in every aspect of things in our community. Trish has rallied other business lead-ers to join and work with the Business Growth Alli-ance of Coshocton County. State Representative Troy Balderson was on hand to recognize Jim Aslanides for his many years of leg-islative work on behalf of youth. During his tenure in the state legislature,

Aslanides was chair of the Ohio ODNR committee. Aslanides stated that, “it was very easy to promote everything that you do here and the contributions you make for our youth”. State Senator Jimmy Stewart presented a certificate and gift to former State Senator Joy Padgett. Stewart ex-plained, “Joy has touched the lives of so many young people. It makes a great deal of difference to those you save and Joy is still making a difference in the lives of young people”. Padgett told the audience, “it is an honor to be hon-ored by those here, I have considered serving as giv-ing back and I am blessed with this new opportunity. It’s folks like you that vol-unteer everyday – never stop volunteering!”

Sally Bullens, a long-time resident of Coshoc-ton, was awarded with the Coshoctonian Award at the 27th annual Coshocton County Chamber of Com-merce annual dinner on Friday evening, April 3. In

addition to honoring a citi-zen and employee of the year, the event, which was held at the Lake Park Pavil-ion and catered by Coshoc-ton Hospital, provides area business and community leaders with the opportuni-

ty to socialize and hear an update on Chamber activi-ties from executive direc-tor Carol Remington. Don Hutchins of SanCasT, and the current President of the Chamber of Commerce, presented past Chamber

President Rick Merrill with a gift donated by the House of G.A. Fisher. Remington told the audience that the annual dinner is, “An op-portunity for businesses and the community to cele-brate our accomplishments. We added 23 new members this past year and now have 291 total members of the Chamber of Commerce. Despite the economic conditions, very few have dropped out, businesses want to stay and grow. Our recently concluded auction was a great success, raising over $18,000 in funds. Co-shocton County is a poster child for when the going gets tough, the tough get going. Businesses in Co-shocton County get it. We have so much to be grate-ful for. This is a great place to live, work and play”. Jason Givens, Presi-dent of the Coshocton Ro-tary Club, awarded Kerry

Patterson of Pearl Valley Cheese with the employee of the year award, stating that Patterson, “Is what a responsible and depend-able employee should look like. 33 years with one em-ployer is certainly great dedication. Patterson’s nominator said that, “He is the first person in and the last one to leave. He is very involved in the community with 20 years of service as a 4-H advisor, and Fresno Bible Church, where he spent part of his vacation volunteering at the Ten-nessee Mountain Summer Camp. Robin Coffman pre-pared and delivered with enthusiasm his usual de-

scriptive and detailed speech for this year’s Co-shoctonian Award win-ner, Sally Bullens. With her proud family members looking on, and following a standing ovation, Bul-lens gracefully accepted the award, explaining to the audience that, “This is such a high honor and nothing I ever expected. I just felt that serving the community was a part of my life, I never expected any recognition. There are so many needs in the com-munity, and you just be-come community minded. I’m still very active and I hope to be for as long as I can”.

The thirteenth an-nual Tribute to Women of Achievement awards ban-quet was held at Roberta’s Banquet & Event Center on Monday, March 30. The event was presented by the Maria Hay Forbes Centre, which is located on Main Street in Coshocton. The guest speaker was Mary Taylor, who is the first certified public accountant to serve as Ohio’s Audi-tor of State. Taylor stated that it was an honor for her to speak and she told

the assembled crowd and members of the Maria Hay Forbes Centre board that she wanted to, “Congratu-late you for continuing this tradition. I know that wom-en can achieve the goals they set for themselves. As women we need to choose carefully. I applaud you for your continued efforts to recognize women and girls as future leaders. This is a great opportunity to honor nine women in your com-munity that have achieved this award. . . their days

of significant achievement are just beginning”. Dana Markley, who was awarded with the Young Woman Award, and is a senior at Ridgewood High School, said, “I was really glad to win this award. It makes me feel good to know that all my community service has been worth it. I’ve al-ways heard good things about this banquet. This is the first year I’ve been to it and it’s been a great experi-ence”. Asked about her fu-ture goals, Markley said she

would be attending Hocking College, majoring in medi-cal records. “That’s why I volunteered. I know what to expect. I’ve learned a lot from working with the all of the wonderful women at the hospital every day”. Kim Gress, who was awarded with the Volunteer Award, said, “I feel very privileged and honored. I’m in with some excellent company. I’m thankful that the BPW (Business & Professional Women) nominated me. I was very surprised”.

Local women honored at banquet

Imagine a diorama of Edvard Munch’s The Scream, a 3½ foot long Egyptian scroll containing line after line of hieroglyphs and illustrated with gods, or a four-foot high Samurai with per-fectly fitted black and red armor. You will see these and more in Teen-Age Talent, the high school art exhibit at the Johnson-Hum-rickhouse Museum, on display April 4—May

10. Works were chosen for their outstanding quality by art teachers of Coshocton, Ridgewood and River View High Schools, as well as the Opportunity School. Al-though the pieces are diverse in medium, technique and content, they all share a com-mon expression of creativity. The students’ works will be judged by local artists Sarah Edwards and Kelsey Schott in four categories: Fine Art, 3-Dimensional, Design, and Black and White Drawing. Some of the most accom-

plished pieces are found in the Black and White Draw-ing category. Evan Wesney, Katy Wiley and Alex East-erday of Myrtle Beall’s Co-shocton High School’s Stu-dio Art class make a strong presentation with their self portraits. Their pieces were executed on black paper with white charcoal pencil. Their representational abili-ties and attention to detail are phenomenal. Also, stu-dent Jenna Shaw of Joan Stauffer’s Studio Lessons demonstrates a great deal

of artistic creativity with her sculptural piece “Scare Crow” and fantasy illustra-tion “The Dragon Girl.” For those who enjoy the whim-sical, Ridgewood’s ceramic sculptures—a carp, eel, and human heart, to name a few—will make you smile. Also, the Museum Teen Volunteer’s constructed a Bridge to Nowhere, a meta-phor for the unsure future they are preparing for. These are only a few examples of the artistic talents of our area youth. This is the Johnson-Humrickhouse Museum’s

20th Teen-Age Talent exhib-it. Each year brings to light fresh work by talented and diligent artists. The Johnson-Humrickhouse Museum is located in Roscoe Village in Coshocton. The Ohio Arts Council helps fund the mu-seum with state tax dollars to encourage economic growth, educational excellence and cultural enrichment for all Ohioans. Museum hours in April are 1:00 – 4:30 P.M., Tuesday through Sunday. Summer hours, beginning in May, are 12:00 to 5:00 P.M. daily. For more information call 740-622-8710.

Kids America in Coshocton hosted their 15th annual Spe-cial Olympics track and field day for special needs adults on Tuesday, March 24. People from Echoing Hills, Lafay-ette Meadows and Hopewell showed up to participate in the event. “They love to come and see people that they might not see very often,” said Nikki Markel, event director, “They get a chance to meet new people and it’s a friendly competi-tion.” Before playing the games, all t he participants and vol-unteers lined up on the track for a parade. Before the parade started, they spent time talking with each other, catching up with old friends and making new ones. “My favorite part is the parade,” said Andrew Huebner, par-ticipant, “because they play the National Anthem and I like that song.” After the parade, they broke up into different groups and played games such as basketball, cornhole, Frisbee throw, track, and ran an obstacle course. All games except basket-ball were award-winning activities and by the end of the day, almost all participants had won at least one ribbon. Volunteers from career services and Kiwanis members were always on hand helping the participants with the games and making everyone feel welcome. “I’m doing this for my business class,” said Destiny Da-vis, volunteer, “It’s great seeing everyone getting together and having fun. I’m definitely coming back next year.” At 11:30, the groups took a break for lunch and then went

to do before lunch. The day concluded with the groups all coming to-gether for a pie-eating con-test and a three-legged race.

The three-legged race con-sisted of both partners safely walking to the other end of the gymnasium, one partner feeding whipped cream to the other and then walking back with a bowl of shred-ded paper balanced on their head. “I loved seeing the fun and friendships they estab-lished,” said Markel, “Just to see everyone cheer every-one on: volunteers cheering on participants and the par-ticipants cheering each other was great.” “I like that they let people with disabilities play in Spe-cial Olympics,” said Tannen Huebner, participant, “and that they treat all of us like

individuals.” At the end of the day, ev-eryone received a certificate for participating.

On April 17-18, Coshocton County will have a few more dogs in town, beagles to be exact. They and their owners will be returning to Coshoc-ton for the second year in a row to participate in the 18th Annual United Kennel Club (UKC) Hunting Beagle Na-tionals held at the Coshocton County Fairgrounds. Dave McVay of Coshoc-ton County is a UKC Field Representative. He said this

national competition was brought to Coshocton last year because of the excellent hunting grounds in the area. "Our county offers a great fa-cility at the fairgrounds with hotels within one mile," sated McVay. "The Coshocton County Beagle Club is one of the UKC's strongest clubs." "We’re thrilled to host the UKC for the second year," stated Belinda Williamson, Director of the Coshocton

County Convention and Visi-tors Bureau. "This is a great group of people who were pleasantly surprised last year at what Coshocton had to of-fer." Williamson says that at last year's event she heard nu-merous comments about what a welcoming community Co-shocton was to visit. Many of last year's participants planned to bring their families with them when they returned this year. "They discovered that in addition to our great outdoors, we also have other activities for the whole family to enjoy," added Williamson. "The local shops, businesses and restaurants appreciate the increased traffic and are also looking forward to the Beagle Nationals weekend." McVay says he has com-peted in the beagle nationals for the past eight years. "But my family has been involved since they began holding the event," he added. "Many hours of training goes into these hounds." McVay explains that the competing beagles are di-vided into categories or casts, which are sent to designated hunting grounds for two-hour competitions. Each cast has a designated judge in charge of the scoring. "The hounds are scored as each dog finds and barks on the rabbit," he said. "The dog with the most points

at the end of the two hours, wins." Spectators are able to go out with the casts and watch the competition. Admission for spectators is free. The crowning of the National Show Champion will be held around 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, April 18 at the Fairgrounds. "This ceremony usually draws a big crowd," stated McVay. For more information about the Beagle Nationals on April 17 and 18, contact the Coshocton County Conven-tion and Visitors Bureau at (740) 622-4877, 1-800-338-4724, or go to www.visitco-shocton.com. As part of the sporting weekend, The Coshocton County Sportsman's Dinner and Auction will also be held on Saturday, April 18, at the National Guard Readiness Center, 24680 Airport Road. Tickets are $22 for adults and $15 for children 12 and under. The ticket price includes a ca-tered dinner, door prize draw-ing and a chance to bid on valuable sportsmen's gear and other merchandise. There will also be children's door prizes. The doors will open at 6:00 p.m. and the dinner will begin at 7:00 p.m. For more infor-mation or to purchase tickets in advance call the Coshocton Convention and Visitors Bu-reau at (740) 622-4877 or go to www.visitcoshocton.com.


Auer Ace Hardware was the site for the first Riders 4 Relief Charity Motor-cycle Show on Saturday April 4. Proceeds from the show went to New Life Ministries Food Pantry and the lowernine organization in New Orleans. The event was co-sponsored by Auer Ace Hardware and Co-shocton Glass Service. The event also combined the efforts of neighbors Stew-art Interiors and Chrysler Jeep Dodge of Coshocton. Despite a chilly but sunny Saturday morning in Co-shocton, Debbie Chilcote and Amy Taylor of Auer Ace Hardware, said, “We had 34 bikes as of 11:30.

Everyone has worked to-gether to help us out. The vendors are great as are all of the sponsors that have helped. That is one thing about Coshocton, no mat-ter what the economy is, everyone pulls together”. Tom Edwards of Auer Ace Hardware, said, “A lot of people can go to poker runs but a lot of cyclists would rather stay in one place and not do that. This is more of a family oriented event. I think it’s a pretty good turnout – hopefully we can do it again – where people can stay in town and make a day of it with other events that are happening in the community”.

Laura Stuckey said that, “I wanted to do a concert to share my music – I wanted to do this in honor of my grandpar-ents for the devotion that my grandfather (Ralph Myers) has shown to my Grandma (Margaret Myers), who was diag-nosed with Alzheimer’s 10 years ago. This is to draw inter-est to this disease in our community. Several members of the community that attended the concert agreed that, “This was one of the most inspiring events I have attended in years”.

River View High School held a fund-raiser for their Relay for Life team on Fri-day, April 3 in the gymnasi-um. By combining Frisbee toss, three point shooting, tug of war and scooter rac-ing, students and faculty raised over $400 by com-peting against one another and the faculty. Several clubs proved that, despite their name, they still had what it took to make a physical stand. In an emo-tional speech, Mrs. Darlene Patterson told the assem-

bled students and faculty that, “Everyone is touched by cancer at some point in their life. It doesn’t matter what age you are. There are a lot of emotions, you cry, scream and ask “why me?” But you have your friends, teachers, students and family to help get you through it. I told myself, “I’m going to fight it, I’m going to live! I’m going to see our grand-daughter get married. We lost two teachers to cancer last year and that hurt. It felt good

when the doctor told me, “Congratulations, you are a survivor!” I also want to tell you that if you aren’t feeling right, you need to tell your doctor and insist on being looked at. You need to take care of it now! I found out that I had skin and breast cancer all in the same week. So don’t fool around. No one will care as much about your body as you do. I want to thank all of you for all you’ve done here today,” said Patterson.

The Hopewell School gym-nasium was the location on Saturday, April 4 for the 7th annual benefit auction to raise funds for the Co-shocton County Board of MRDD. Auctioneer Terry Longsworth, who has vol-unteered his services for all seven auctions, when asked about why he donates his time to this cause, respond-ed, “Coshocton County has been awful good to us – this is our chance to give back and we enjoy it. A lot of hard work goes into mak-

ing this auction a success and there are always lots of great donations. Andy Raber, who owns and op-erates Deer Valley Wood-working in the Fresno area, has donated each of the seven years, said, “This is to support the school and the community. Jill Lah-na, business manager at the school and the auction chair said, “We have 173 bidders right now. I was a little worried about the economy and our items but we’re up to 300 or 400 for

the auction and we have a great crowd today. The community has stepped up – we can’t do this without the Amish community and Andy Raber, his family and friends. They all stick together. We just really ap-preciate everybody – the staff, auction committee, everyone that helps us out. The proceeds from the auc-tion will go towards our pavilion – for our folks and also for the community”.

RV staff applies all their “faculties” to win tug o’ war!Members of the River View High School faculty combined their efforts to win the tug of war contest at the high school during an event to raise funds for the River View Relay for Life team. Under the watchful eye of assistant principal Mr. Chuck Rinkus, it appeared that the students were “outmanned” and “outwomanned” by a significant number of teachers in this tug o’ war contest. The high school raised over $400 during the event for the River View Relay for Life team. (Beacon photo by Mark Fortune)

When asked about the event Mason replied, “This is awesome and for a very good cause”. (Beacon photo by Mark Fortune)

With brightly colored pin-wheels spinning rapidly in the brisk April breeze, several local groups com-bined their time and en-ergy to bring awareness to the growing problem of child abuse. Each pinwheel represents a reported child abuse or neglect incident in

Coshocton County during 2008. The pinwheel dis-play is located at the corner of sixth and main streets in Coshocton, directly across from the Coshocton Tri-bune and in the empty lot next to WTNS radio. Anne Randles of Coshocton Job & Family Services said

that, “Our goal is to bring awareness to this problem in Coshocton County. And as a way of bringing fami-lies together, we want to let the community know about our upcoming Fam-ily Fun Day which will be held at the fairgrounds on Saturday, April 18 from

10 am to 2 pm. This event provides fun for the entire family and it’s all free. A lot of different groups from the community will be joining us to provide this event”.

Several area organizations joined together to place pinwheels in a display meant to show the community the number of child abuse and neglect incidents in our county during 2008.

“Over 60 Years of Service”

0033_032509

The Coshocton Public Li-brary was the scene of an open house on March 31 to celebrate the career of retir-ing Library Director Ann Miller. Miller retired after serving the library and the community for 20 years. County Commissioner Dane Shryock said, “Ann has been very forward thinking and resourceful in knowing what our community has needed. County Commissioner Gary

Fischer added, “Our commu-nity has been very blessed by Ann’s service – not only as the director of the library but as a very progressive leader and

a visionary. Our community needs more people like Ann to serve”. Joan Sheets of the Coshocton County Chapter of the Ohio Genealogical So-ciety said of Miller, “We’ve had a good relationship with Ann and the library. We work well together to help genealogy and through her efforts we procured the funds for the microfilm reader in the genealogy room”. Cathy Haynes, Public Relations Coordinator at the library said of Miller, “I think Ann’s biggest contribution was cre-ating a young adult librarian position. As a result, service to teens has been remark-able and this helped pave the

From pancakes to pork and just about everything in between, today’s Fu-ture Farmers of America, widely known for sporting their blue jackets, learn not only about the finer aspects of modern agriculture, soils and speaking, but they learn much more about themselves. River View cooks Betty Donley, Con-nie Wilson and Kelly Karr prepared a delicious meal of roast beef, mashed pota-toes and gravy, green bean casserole, Cole slaw, rolls, butter, beverages and pie. Following the meal that was served by the cooks and alumni Nelson and Linda Hall and Tai Mc-Curdy, the over 200 in at-tendance were ushered into the auditorium to watch a slide show presentation of the past year’s activities, honor parents, induct hon-orary members and transfer roles to the next group of

leaders for the chapter. The chapter inducted honorary members Mrs. Judy Car-mony and Mr. Steve Fos-ter. 2008-2009 Ohio FFA President Allen Schmitz spoke about following your dreams and, “Getting back home where you want to be”. Star Greenhand was awarded to Molly Dan-iel. Star Chapter Farmer, which is the highest award that can be earned at the chapter level, was awarded to Duane Stutzman. State Degree recipients were Morgan Carey, Kim Croft, Craig Hunter, Morgan Lan-dis and Duane Stutzman. The highest degree award-ed in FFA is the American FFA Degree. River View had three recipients of the award, which were; Katie Croft, Derek Weatherwax and Ben Young. To be rec-ognized in October of this year will be Allyssa Mc-Mullen and Jesse Wright.

Morgan Landis, who has been in FFA for two years and is the current Vice-President of the River View Chapter said, “FFA has done a lot for my confi-dence and leadership skills. Our advisors are great – I wouldn’t trade anything for this experience – it has taught me a lot about myself and working in a team. It’s a great learning atmosphere”. River View Superintendent Kyle Kanuckel explained, “FFA has a long tradition and great pride in this com-munity. River View has been state recognized for their achievements. We are blessed to have this pro-gram. It’s a great program in which our kids can learn valuable leadership skills”. Outgoing chapter Pres-ident and senior Suzie Mc-Mullen blew an emotional kiss skyward and received a hug from fellow seniors as a lasting tribute to her

two years of leadership during parent recognition. McMullen’s father passed away earlier this year. Mc-Mullen said, “I’ve had the time of my life for the past four years – FFA is like a family to me – they’ve all been there for me, espe-cially with my Dad passing away. My favorite memory is the agronomy team dur-ing my junior year. We got fourth place at state. We just know so much about each other, this is really like my family”. River View FFA ad-visor Keisha Buxton said that, “I’ve watched these kids grow during the past two years”. Of McMullen, Buxton stated, “Suzie is a young woman who is de-termined to be successful in all that she does, a trait that has served her well in her career as an FFA mem-ber and a two year chapter officer”.

A panel of three (3) judg-es will select first, second, and third place winners in each category. The general public will have the opportu-nity to vote on their favorite photo to select one People’s Choice Award. Contest win-ners will be announced just prior to the evening balloon launch on Saturday, June 6th. Entries can be mailed or delivered to: Coshocton County Chamber of Com-merce, 401 Main Street, Co-shocton, OH 43812.

The Coshocton County Chapter of the American Red Cross held a Vegas Night fund-raiser hosted by the American Le-gion on Saturday, March 28. Jen Fannin, executive director of the local chapter said, “This is one of our largest fund-raisers of the year with all funds raised going to support Red Cross programs and services in Coshocton County. We’ve been hit extremely hard with disaster assistance this year – due to fires and power outages. Without the support of our community and our United Way we would be unable to provide these important services to our residents”.

The Coshocton County Chamber of Commerce and the Ca-nal Festival Parade Committee announce the theme for the 2009 Canal Festival Parade. There’s No Place Like Home will be depicted in the floats and other entries for the parade commemorating the first canal boat’s landing in what is now Roscoe Village. The parade will begin at 5 p.m. and will follow the traditional parade route starting at the Coshocton County Fairgrounds, traveling north on 7th Street, turning west onto Main Street and proceeding past the courthouse and the reviewing stand.In an effort to truly reflect the spirit of the canal era of the 1830’s, entries should, as much as possible, use horses or tractors to pull the units. We hope that businesses in our area, as well as the private sector will participate by entering floats, riding horses, horse drawn wagons, walking units, or entering the auto show.As usual, judging will take place Saturday afternoon prior to the start of the parade. More information regarding entry guidelines will be available at the Coshocton County Cham-ber of Commerce as we get closer to the event. The date of this year’s parade is August 22nd to coincide with the Canal Festival to be held in Towne Centre.

way for Rosemary Honnold to become nationally ac-claimed. She also automated the library system, going from card catalogs to being tied in with 156 other librar-ies. She’s been wonderful to work with – and has been a

mentor to many of us – we’ll miss her terribly”. Ann’s hus-band, Terry Miller, said of his spouse, “It’s been fun for me to have a spouse that loves her job. She is always full of stories when she comes home. It’s been a career that

she’s really loved and it’s been neat to be a part of that”. Ann Miller told The Beacon that, “I’ve loved every min-ute of it. I’ve been blessed to go to a job that I love every day and I’m always mindful of that. We have a creative,

intelligent staff. Everything here happened because of everyone – not me. We also have a supportive, forward thinking library board and a supportive community that gets a lot of the credit”.

Roscoe Village has always taken great pleasure in pro-ducing wonderful festivals and special events each year for our local community and visitors. However, like nearly all aspects of our so-ciety today, Roscoe Village is suffering from the effects of current economic and in-vestment conditions by ex-periencing reduced revenues from operations, return from investments and support from major funding provid-ers. In an effort to adjust op-erating costs necessitated by these reductions, the Roscoe Village Foundation Board of Trustees announces that, in addition to other budget re-visions, the Foundation will no longer be hosting the June Heritage Craft & Dulcimer Music Festival, the Septem-ber Wine, Art & Garden Fes-tival and two Christmas Can-dlelightings in December. Remaining on the sched-ule of events will be the ever-popular Apple Butter Stirrin’ Festival on October 16, 17 and 18, 2009 and a Christ-mas Candlelighting to be held December 5, 2009.

Roscoe Village will also host the Corvettes at Roscoe Cruise-In on June 14, 2009 where more than 200 Cor-vettes will converge on the street for some summer fun. In a celebration of 40 years since the completion of the first restored building, the Toll House, Roscoe Village is offering many wonderful activities each month through the end of the year. In April, you may purchase a mem-bership for half price. May brings the community togeth-er for the Roscoe Roundtable to share memories of the early years of the restoration with the remaining months offering tours, presentations and much more. The preservation, resto-ration and interpretation of Roscoe’s heritage during the Ohio Canal Period remain the mission of the Roscoe Village Foundation. Detailed information on Historic Ros-coe Village can be seen on our website at www.rosco-evillage.com or you may call us at 740-622-9310 or toll free at 800-877-1830.

Roscoe Village Makes Change to Festival Schedule

The North Appalachian Ex-perimental Watershed facility, located on State Route 621, re-ceived a visit from Congressman Zach Space to discuss the local benefits provided through fed-eral funding streams and to hear about the important research and work that is conducted at the facility. Dr. James V. Bonta conducted a power-point presen-tation to give the Congressman and other guests a glimpse into the current research and years of data that exist at the facility. The Watershed, a USDA agricultural research service in collaboration

with The Ohio State University OARDC, is an outdoor labora-tory for land and water man-agement research that not only helps agriculture but has become increasingly important and vi-able in the growing debate over global warming. Congressman Space told those gathered that, “I’m a firm believer in the work that you’re doing. Agricultural producers rely on this research. The small farmers that typically make up the 18th congressio-nal district rely on the results of these studies. We’ll continue to advocate for funding in D.C.”

Working together for the greater good! It’s more than just a slogan. It’s a philoso-phy that allows for great com-munities to do great things. And working together is exactly the idea behind the “Clean-Up Coshocton Day” for 2009. The City of Co-shocton is teaming up with the United Way of Coshocton County to take this already successful event to the next level…and we need you and your colleagues!

So please join us on April 25th from 9am to Noon to help Clean-Up Coshocton! We will be meeting at the Court Square. We need all of the help we can get, so we are encouraging all organizations including community groups, service groups, school groups, church groups and families to join us. Donuts will be served starting at 8:30am and the first 100 participants to show up that morning will receive a free 2009 Clean Up Coshoc-

ton T-shirt. In order to plan, it will help if you can let us know if you (and your group) will be attending. Please call the United Way office at 622-4567 or email [email protected] to RSVP. The more helping hands we have, the more loca-tions we will be able to clean up! The Clean-Up Coshocton Day is an event everyone can participate in to make Co-

shocton County a better place. It does not take money or spe-cial skills. It simply takes a caring heart and a willingness to roll up your sleeves. So please, join us at 9am on April 25th for your chance to make a difference in our communi-ty. Attached is a flyer for the event. Please feel free to print it off and spread the word. United We Stand…let’s stand together to make Coshocton County a better place.

It’s time to clean up Coshocton!

Fun for the entire fam-ily is the underlying theme of Family Fun Day at the Fairgrounds on Saturday, April 18, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. (Rain date – April 25). Anne Ran-dles, Children's Services Administrator at Job and Family Services (JFS) and

Leslie Dulgar, Intervention Social Worker at JFS say this event is designed to be a family and community outreach promoting child abuse awareness and pre-vention."April is Child Abuse Prevention Month," ex-plained Randles. "We've been hosting this event for this purpose for over ten years."

Randles says the fun day activities and attendance have grown over the years. "We get a great crowd each year," she added. "We have entire families attend—kids, parents and grandparents."A Family Fun Day Plan-ning Committee involves several cooperating agen-cies along with JFS includ-ing the local Prosecutor's

Office, Juvenile Court, First Step, OSU-Ext., Help Me Grow and the Learn-ing Garden. "We also have several other agencies that set up booths the day of the event," explained Dulgar. "We have lots of free infor-mation and free fun activi-ties for families to enjoy such as pony rides, inflat-able rides, ice carving and face painting."

"The Fire Department will be there with their trucks, the Master Gardner's will be there and we'll have a petting zoo," added Ran-dles. "There will also be free hot dogs and chips."Family Fun Day receives support from several local businesses including Kraft Foods, Wal-mart Conn's Potato Chips and Circle K.Dulgar says the main goal of Family Fun Day is to prevent child abuse. At the event, there will be infor-

mation distributed on child abuse and neglect, anger management and parenting tips. "We are fortunate to have so much community collaboration and dedi-cated volunteers to help us put this on each year," she said.Attend the Free Fam-ily Fun Day this Saturday, April 18, at the Coshocton County Fairgrounds from 10:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m.

Family Fun at the Fairgroundsby Jan Myers

1. Be a nurturing parent. Children need to know that they are special, loved and capable of following their dreams.2. Help a friend, neighbor or relative. Being a parent isn't easy. Offer a help-ing hand and offer to take care of the children so the parent(s) can rest or spend time together.3. Help yourself. When the big and little problems of your everyday life pile up to the point you feel overwhelmed and out of control—take time out. Don't take it out on your kid.

4. If your baby cries… It can be frustrat-ing to hear your baby cry. Learn what to do if your baby won't stop crying. Never shake a baby—shaking a child may result in severe injury or death.5. Get involved. Ask you community leaders, clergy, library and schools to develop services to meet the needs of healthy children and families.6. Help to develop parenting resources at your local library.7. Promote programs in school. Teach-ing children, parents and teachers preven-

tion strategies can help to keep children safe.8. Monitor your child's television and video viewing. Watching violent films and TV program can harm young children.9. Volunteer at a local child abuse pre-vention program. For information about volunteer opportunities, call 1-800-CHILDREN.10. Report suspected abuse or neglect. If you have reason to believe a child has been or may be harmed, call your local department of children and family ser-vices or your local police department.

Coshocton County has been the host of the longest run-ning heritage music festival in Ohio—Dulcimer Days. It is also the second oldest event of its kind in the United States. This year marks the 35th Anniversary of this nation-ally significant Appalachian musical event, which will be held on Coshocton County's Courthouse Lawn on June 20 and 21, with workshops and the Saturday evening concert to be held at the Coshocton Presbyterian Church on 4th Street. As part of the festival, the Mid-East Regional Dulci-mer Championships are held and winning competitors at Coshocton's festival go on to compete in the national com-petition. Musicians Kendra Ward, Bob Bence, Brett Ridgeway and Serenity Ridgeway are all long-time attendees, work-shop leaders and performers at past Dulcimer Days Festivals in Coshocton. They are as-sisting the Coshocton County Convention and Visitors Bu-reau in organizing this year's Coshocton Dulcimer Days event. Ward and Bence are from Bidwell, Ohio. Ward

is a third generation dulcimer player. "My Dad, Mom and I attended the first Dulcimer Days in Coshocton and prob-ably the next 20 after that," she said. "This festival is in my heart, and part of my fond childhood memories with my family playing together. I love the Coshocton community. They have always been a big part of the festival over the past 34 years." Ward recalls the original years of the Dulcimer Days Festival in Coshocton. "It started in tents in the grass be-low the Lake Park Pavilion," she said. "Contests and con-certs were held at the Triple Locks Theater near Wild-wood Music in those early years. It was later moved to the Lake Park Pavilion. Over the years at Dulcimer Days, I have competed in the contests, judged, and performed for the featured concert. Bob attend-ed the festival for the first time in 1984 when he and I were dating and he's been involved ever since." The Ridgeways are from Twinsburg, Ohio, but Serenity is originally from Coshocton. Brett started playing the banjo in high school and the moun-

tain and hammered dulcimers while in college. "I've been playing and teaching for over 25 years," he said. "I currently teach and play the hammered dulcimer, mountain dulcimer, bluegrass and claw hammer banjo, beginner mandolin and beginner acoustic guitar. Se-renity plays and teaches fiddle and piano and performs with me. She has been playing fid-dle for 11 years." Brett originally attended the Dulcimer Days Festival in Coshocton as a participant. He took a few workshops and competed in the contests. "About eight or nine years ago, and ever since, I have conducted hammered dulci-mer workshops and/or per-formed, and helped in judging the hammered dulcimer or mountain dulcimer contests," he said. "Serenity has attended the Dulcimer Days Festival for as long as she can remember. This festival is what exposed her to this type of music and inspired her to pursue playing. This festival is so important to the preservation of our heri-tage, the music, and for Co-shocton. I am very excited to be a part of this." The Coshocton Dulcimer

Days will be held at the Co-shocton County Courtsquare Gazebo and at the Coshoc-ton Presbyterian Church on Fourth Street. Visitors to the event will enjoy music ven-dors, artists' booths and listen-ing to traditional Appalachian music. Admission to the event will be free. There will be a freewill offering for the Sat-urday night concert at the Presbyterian Church featur-ing dulcimer players Susan Trump, of Newtonville, NY, and David Lindsey & Family of Bennington, OK. Several music workshops will be held throughout the weekend with a nominal charge of $15 each. The Coshocton Con-vention and Visitors Bureau is seeking sponsors to help offset the cost of the event while allowing free admis-sion. Sponsors will receive the equivalent in advertising dollars for their sponsorship. For more information about Coshocton Dulcimer Days or to inquire about sponsorships, contact the Coshocton Con-vention and Visitors Bureau at (740) 622-4877, [email protected] or go to www.visitcoshocton.com.

James Weidlich, who hails from the Cambridge area, will be available to talk with families on Saturday, April 18 and April 25 at 1:30 pm and 5:30 pm each day, at the Coshocton Village Inn and Suites in Coshocton. Weidlich, who lost his daughter to suicide in July, 2004, will be discussing the aspects of current mental health is-sues that affect many families, and especially teenagers. Weidlich talks direct from the heart and says that, “Kids are not afraid of the subject – the parents and our society are the ones that are afraid of it”. Listening to Weidlich, you know that this man is passionate about what he does and is on a mission. “I’ve been here for six weeks and I’m not leaving until I get the job done”, said Weidlich, in an interview with The Beacon. Weidlich continued, “My goal is to stop the cycle of depression, mental illness and suicide in memory of my 14 year old daughter”. “These are difficult questions, hard questions with sometimes hard and scary answers”, says Weidlich. “I am doing this in memory of my daughter. There are so many attacks on the youth of today. This presentation is about helping our youth and their families to have the courage and faith to talk about this issue and ask the hard and confusing ques-tions that many people have inside them but don’t know where to turn”.

Golfers who haven’t played Hilltop Golf Course in the past three years will be surprised at the results that dedication and much hard work have produced. The Golf Young Management Company is beginning the fourth year of a lease man-agement agreement from the city and county park as-sociation, and the transfor-mation during those years has been astounding. Richard (Dick) Guess is the manager and driv-ing force behind the goal of making Hilltop into the golf course which many marvel at today. One of three public golf courses in the county, Hilltop once had the reputation of being the “roughest” course in the county in more ways than one. When Golf Young took over the lease, Guess dedicated himself to making Hilltop the golf course he had always hoped it would be. His staff is composed of retired individuals from the local area. However,

don’t tell them they are “retired”! Each of them has bought into the plan of im-proving the course in every way possible. Hours mean nothing to them. Running a golf course is a “can until can’t’ endeavor. From the time when it is light enough to see in the mornings until it is too dark to see in the evenings, they are mowing, raking, sanding, fertilizing, trimming, gathering, etc., with no thoughts of quitting until the job is done. And, all you need to do is walk onto the first tee to notice the wonderful results. Mike McCullough once told this writer, “If you truly want to learn to play golf, all you have to do is play Hilltop on a regular basis. The reason being is that you have every type of “lie” (uphill, downhill, even side hill). You have water and sand and undu-lating greens. Every chal-lenge is there and you must learn to master them all!” In the past, the course

had problems with main-tenance because of limited budgets and the lack of proper funds. Today, you will find a well-maintained course with all the beauty you can imagine. Standing on many of the tee boxes, you can see the beauty of Coshocton County for sev-eral miles. The sixth tee box features panoramic views overlooking the city all the way to the Conesville power plant. Many golfers from out of the area com-ment on the beauty, often returning to their vehicles for their camera to capture the scenery. The course layout has changed since last year. The result evens out the difficulty of both nines. The course is more clearly marked for golfers un-familiar with the course. Hilltop Golf Course con-tinues to strive to provide a great value for both greens fees and cart rental. If you haven’t played “The Hill” for awhile, this would be

the year to make the short “drive” to the top of the hill or call 740-622-8083 for a tee time. The course is also prepared to schedule your outing or fund-raiser. Hill-top is waiting for you!
