Wow! My first three months in office have gone so fast. Now that we have completed the first half real estate and mobile home

tax collections, I wanted to share some information with you regarding the Coshocton County Treasurer’s Office.

First off I want to thank my staff for all their hard work. They are very enthusiastic and dedicated employees, working hard and genuinely caring about our taxpayers.

In February we sent out over 29,000 real estate tax bills and over 4,000 mobile home tax bills. Thank you to all who came into the office and paid or mailed their payments. The first half collections went well and very smoothly. Thank you to WTNS, The Beacon and The Tribune for keeping the community informed regarding tax collection dates and other information.

In striving to be more effective the County Auditor and County Recorder allowed me to share some of their employees during first half collection. Many payroll hours were saved by their employees assisting me while also doing their own duties. Thank you to their employees who assisted us.

I am making some changes to streamline procedures and better serve our taxpayers before the collection of second half taxes, which will be due sometime in July. In late April I am implementing a new check imaging system which will save payroll dollars and many hours of manual posting. This system will scan the payment and automatically post it to the individual parcel. Thank you to the County Commissioners for their assistance with this equipment purchase to upgrade our services.

I also am in the process of obtaining the capability to take debit and credit card payments in our office for tax payments by second half collection this summer.

Also, any taxpayer can set up with us an escrow payment plan where each month an amount is paid towards their current taxes. This avoids two large amounts being due twice a year. The twelve payments begin in August and the amount is an estimated amount, due to various levies being voted upon in November.

Now to the most difficult part of my job – the collection of delinquent real estate and mobile home taxes. I knew coming in to office that this needed to be one of my first priorities and my office has been diligently working on them. State law is clear as to how to address the issue of delinquencies, and even with our current economic conditions, I feel we cannot let our delinquencies get higher.

Delinquent taxes affect each of us. They affect our schools, our safety, our childrens’ services, and many other aspects of our lives.

Some of my tax foreclosure decisions have been difficult and not without sleepless nights; however, great progress has been made in collecting these taxes. It is not fair to the persons who scrape and genuinely do without to pay their taxes, while others do not make their tax responsibility a priority. Thank you to the County Prosecutor, Special Prosecutor and the Sheriff’s Department for their assistance with collecting the delinquent taxes.

If you have delinquent taxes, please do not just ignore them. Please make arrangements with us to pay them.

In closing I would like to thank everyone who had a part in making my first three months in office a really great experience.

One of my favorite quotes is by Joe Paterno, “It is the name on the front of the jersey that matters most, not the name on the back”. As you can see Coshocton County truly works together as a team. Thank you to all county employees who put the team first.

“Can” do spirit does good things By mark Fortune

Several teams of area youth and adults gathered at the Courtsquare on Friday afternoon, Apr. 1 to build a meaningful display of canned food in an effort to draw attention to the plight of hunger in Coshocton County. Beth Cormack, said, “We’re trying to raise awareness of hunger in Coshocton County. We’re working with a lot of youth groups, but also some adult groups and trying to get people to realize that hunger is an everyday thing and make sure that we’re remembering those folks who are in need.” Cormack said that, “The canned goods and the proceeds from popcorn, food and donations will be split between The Salvation Army,

New Life Ministries, Shepherds Assembly and God’s Eternal Love in Warsaw. The kids are pretty excited about it.” Teams were involved from area schools, churches and organizations. The project came about as an idea from the Youth Asset Leadership Team in Coshocton County. The kids represent River View, Ridgewood and Coshocton High Schools. “They all decided that they wanted to do a service project and this is their first stab at anything,” said Cormack. “Most of them are only sophomores and

juniors. This is new and they were amazed at how much effort it takes to pull something together but they have learned a lot and in a great way, by helping others.” Cormack is the director of the drug and alcohol council through Coshocton County Job & Family Services and provides advising and leadership to the Youth Asset Leadership Team. Steve Champagne also helps with the group. Ali Dawson, who coordinated the event with Courtney Ankrum, said, “We’re trying to raise canned foods and money for the local food shelters. Teams are building sculptures out

of cans and people buy tickets to vote for the sculpture they like best. We’re also selling food and popcorn, face painting and other things to raise money.” Dawson added when asked if she thought hunger was an issue in Coshocton County, “Yes, I think it is. One of the food shelters is almost out of food right now. This is a good time of the year to do this. Most people give food during Christmastime but not as much in the spring. So we decided to do it now.”

Stop the world, I want to jump off! Yes, that’s right. The doom and gloom is wearing me out. It seems that the negativity in today’s world is almost unavoidable. From the glaring newspaper headlines to the blaring of the talking heads on television, we are adrift in a sea of bad news from one end of the world to another. Surely, there must be something positive out there somewhere. Ah, yes, let’s turn to the lines drawn on a map that define our very own Coshocton County. That’s where the good stuff is happening. Once again, it seems that a vast amount of positive news is generated at the local level and for that we need to be grateful. Whether it is a group of young teens and adults constructing things from donated canned goods to community food banks, young people investing in the sciences and performing well at area and regional science fairs, high school students at all three high schools putting in significant time and effort to entertain friends and family with a spring musical or youngsters competing in piano to a packed house. Kudos to the young people of Coshocton County and kudos to the adults that guide them and families that provide the support and encouragement for their talents. If you want more, then the Roscoe United Methodist Church was the place to be this past Sunday afternoon for the seventh annual Music Fest. Over one hundred choir members

of several United Methodist Churches joined together in song and spirit with a 17 piece orchestra to perform for a large congregation. The time and effort invested to bring about a performance like this should not go unnoticed. And to those that are

enjoying and participating in the weekly Lenten services either in Coshocton at the Presbyterian Church or at the Camp Warsaw Retreat Center, appreciation goes to those that not only attend, sing, and provide the message but to those that helped organize the events. We lost two good friends of The Beacon this past week with the passing of Dale Fuller and Dave Warren. I always enjoyed his friendly wave and a warm smile from Dale as he enjoyed his walks up and down Main Street. You’ll be missed, Dale. And Dave Warren, known to many as the homemade ice cream man at the Fresno Farmers Market, will also be greatly missed. Dave would often bring us tidbits of news from the Fresno area and especially enjoyed the puffball “contests”. Our community is less with the passing of these two men and when you think about it, we lose a little bit of ourselves with the passing of each Coshocton County resident. If we just only knew when, it would be much easier of course, to spend time with the ones we love and cherish. But that is not the way of the world, and rightly so, for that would only make things too easy. Or would it?

robert miller receives organization’s highest honor

Robert D. Miller, FHFMA, Coshocton Hospital CEO, has been awarded the 2011 Frederick C. Morgan Achievement Award from the Healthcare Financial Management Association (HFMA). Mr. Miller is the 53rd recipient of the award that is the national association’s highest individual honor and recognizes career-long contributions to health care financial management and HFMA. Nominations are submitted by HFMA members and chapters, with a committee of national representatives selecting the nominee who most reflects the spirit of service fostered by the award’s

namesake, Frederick C. Morgan, who retired from health care in 1965. “I applaud Bob’s long term dedication to HFMA and the efforts he has put forth on both the national and chapter level,” said Mary Beth Briscoe, HFMA National Chairman 2007-2008. “His knowledge and years of leadership make Bob a very special member of HFMA.

Miller, FHFMA, is the CEO of Coshocton County Memorial Hospital and has been a member of HFMA since 1984. He spent his first years of membership in the West Virginia chapter where he quickly became involved and assumed the duties of chapter president by 1993. He served as a regional executive, worked on several task forces, offices and committees, and served on the HFMA National Board from 1995 to 1997. Miller won the HFMA Medal of Honor Award in 1998 and is a recipient of many other West Virginia Chapter and national HFMA awards. With his move to Coshocton in 2002, Miller joined the central Ohio chapter and has been a key advisor in chapter reorganization, valued board member, membership chair, rural council chair and was a delegate for a second time in the US/UK HFMA Exchange. Miller was also this year’s winner of the Central Ohio Chapter George M. Gevas President’s award.HFMA is recognized as the leading membership organization for health care financial management executives, with more than 35,000 members nationwide. The organization provides education, analysis and professional guidance to assist CFOs, controllers and accountants in identifying and managing financial issues facing the health care industry.

granger helps set school record at ashlandSome parents always want to send their children outdoors to play. It’s a good bet that wasn’t the case in the Roberts household. On Saturday, March 12 at the NCAA Division II indoor track and field championships in Albuquerque, N.M., AU senior Kurt Roberts, Lancaster, Ohio, won the third indoor championship in shot put. Very few throwers in the country are as rock solid indoors as Roberts. A year ago, he established the meet record in the shot put with a throw of 64-11.5. On Saturday, he led the field with a throw of 63-11. That effort put some distance between

Roberts and Grand Valley State’s Daniel Vanek, who was second. Vanek’s best throw measured 60-11.25. Roberts was part of an AU’s team that finished second in the country. That’s the highest finish indoors for the men in school history. It comes on the heels of the women’s team finishing in a tie for second at last year’s indoor national championship meet. On Saturday, the AU men also received a bronze medal from junior Tom Scott, Lima, Ohio, in the 800. Scott ran the race in 1:52.34. Augustana’s Aduo Omot won the race in 1:51.20 and Metro State’s Shawn Lindbom was second in 1:51.44. AU’s 4x4 relay finished fourth in a school record time of 3:11.29. That quartet consisted of freshman Jacob Cook, Lima, Ohio; freshman Keith Cleveland, Cleveland, Ohio; sophomore Cory Lamar, Wakeman, Ohio; and junior Cyrus Granger, Coshocton, Ohio. Johnson C. Smith won that race in 3:09.17 and St. Augustine’s was second in 3:09.31. Indianapolis finished third in 3:10.99. The AU men got another All-America award from freshman D.J. Duke, Clarington, Ohio in the shot put. Duke was sixth. His best throw was 58-8.75. Abilene Christian won the men’s title, the school’s first since 2005, with 45 points. Ashland

was second with 42 points and Lincoln finished third with 41 points. Fourth place went to Central Missouri with 36.5 points and Emporia State was fifth with 32.5 points. The AU women were not able to duplicate their finish from a year ago. Senior Abby Kacsandi, Wooster, Ohio, was third in the pentathlon with 3,782 points and seventh in the high jump. Her best mark in the high jump was 5-6. The senior was the defending champion in that event. In the pentathlon, the gold medal went to Lindsay Lettow of Central Missouri with 4,064 points. Angelo State’s Chrystal Ruiz was second with 3,981 points. Lisa Roth, Rittman, Ohio, accumulated 3,600 points and earned All-America laurels by finishing sixth. Senior Steph Tinney, Norwalk, Ohio, who won a national title last year in the 400, just missed a top eight finish this year. She was ninth. The AU women were eighth in the final team standings with 21.5 points. Grand Valley State won the national championship with 83 points. Lincoln (51) was second and Adams State (37) was third. New Haven (32) claimed fourth place and Nebraska-Omaha was fifth.

Nothing can compare to the drama and excitement that is generated by the addition of floral displays, especially burgeoning flowered baskets hanging from posts along the way. Imagine coming across the bridge into Coshocton and seeing huge baskets hanging from the traffic poles at Second Street filled with spilling red, blue and white blooms. Now, imagine those same fabulous baskets, eight of them at each intersection, all along Chestnut and Main. Truly magnificent, breathtaking....

1951April 8th, 1951

It was the first time Coshocton High School had scored a ‘grand slam’ in district competitions. Previously, Coshocton soloist in voice and/or instrumentalists had taken home superior, but never before had all musicians from Coshocton High School received top ratings at district competitions. Everyone, including the 72-piece band and 73-voice choir, were moving on to state. The choir even received special praise from one of the judges. Both the band and choir were to perform at state at Capital University at the end of April. Instrumentalists were to compete at Ohio Wesleyan at the end of April and soloists were to perform at Otterbein in May.

1961April 9th, 1961

A little 5-year-old boy in Walhonding had marriage on his mind and he wasn’t going to settle for less than he thought he deserved. He had his eyes set on Caroline – that is, Caroline Kennedy, daughter of President John F. Kennedy. So, he decided to write her a Valentine proposing marriage. He had heard his mother and father talking about how pretty the president’s daughter was, so he asked his Mom to type out a letter with his intentions to little Caroline. Surprisingly, he received a note back which said that Caroline would think about her decision. They also received a letter from President Kennedy and his wife saying they got a big kick out of the letter.

1971April 11th, 1971

Members of the Nellie United Methodist Church dedicated their newly-decorated sanctuary and new hymnals at their morning worship service on April 18. An open invitation was extended to everyone in the community to attend and to stay for a luncheon afterward. Rev. John Knox Hess, district superintendent of the Mt. Vernon District was to be the special guest speaker. The church had been built in 1902 as an Evangelical church and was first dedicated in 1903. In 1923, electric lights were installed and in 1930, a six-week revival occurred. In 1963, the church became Methodist.

1981April 13th, 1981

The brewing storm seemed to reflect the feelings of the Newcomerstown ladies track team as River View’s unbeaten Lady Bears dominated their competition at a ladies division Relay. The Lady Bears won their first five events and took seven out of nine before the event was canceled due to a storm coming. Their coach was ecstatic and said she was proud of her 17-member team. She said each member was at her best that night, but was a little disappointed because one student could not compete due to the early cancellation. Other than that, the coach was happy with the results.

mveSC outstanding student from Career Center wins writing contest

Each winter, Muskingum Valley Education Service Center sponsors a competitive writing contest within its member districts, which span the Coshocton, Muskingum and Morgan counties, and each year, five students are selected as winners. This year, for the first time ever, a student studying in a career-technical school walked home with one of prizes. MacKrea Kilpatrick, a senior in the Cosmetology program at the Coshocton County Career Center, was one of those winners. The Susan E. Mahoney Writing Contest was named in memory of former MVESC Superintendent Ron Mahoney’s daughter, who had a gift and passion for creative writing. Up to five winners, students who show promise and a talent for creative writing, can be selected each year and each takes home a cash prize. On Wednesday, March 23, at a special reception at MVESC’s office in Zanesville, Kilpatrick was awarded a $1,000 scholarship for her prize. To be eligible, Kilpatrick had to submit two pieces of original writing, verified by her English instructor, as well as her goals as a young writer. Fifty-six contestants entered this year’s contest. Their entries were judged on originality, clarity and expression. Kilpatrick submitted an autobiographical narrative describing her first deer hunt at age eight. She accompanied her father on the hunt and described the experience in detail. The piece was titled ‘A Hooking Hunt’ because it was so enjoyable. She became an avid hunter as a result of the experience. The other piece Kilpatrick submitted was a narrative comparing some of her duties, working at a horse farm, with her

perspective on life and her future. “MacKrea is an excellent writer,” said Angie Smoulder, Kilpatrick’s Honors English instructor at the Career Center. “I believe she easily has the capability and talent to pursue writing as a professional career, if she chose that path.” Kilpatrick said that while she enjoys writing, her plan is to pursue a degree in social work from Mount Vernon Nazarene University, after graduating from Ridgewood High School. Kilpatrick was also recognized by MVESA as one of this year’s Outstanding Students for her leadership and academic performance. She, along with Bill Webb, her chemistry instructor at the Career Center, were recognized at the March 23 reception. Kilpatrick identified Webb as a teacher who has provided her valuable direction and inspiration.

river view high School to perform “the music man”By Beth SCott

‘Seventy-six trombones’ are coming to the River View stage as the River View thespians present, “The Music Man” on Friday, April 8 and Saturday, April 9 at 7:30 p.m. Cast and crew members have been rehearsing

since the third week of January, and although the snow days have been a problem and the play had to be scheduled earlier in the year due to Easter and prom, the students and adult volunteers have pulled together to make this performance a true show-stopper. M e r e d i t h Wilson’s “The Music Man” was first performed on stage in 1957, which was the height of song and dance Broadway musicals. Director Debbie English chose this musical because the cast contains a large amount of specialized roles and she wanted to showcase the

many talented students at River View. Twenty students have specialized roles in the musical, so it makes a great high school musical because of the number of rolls available. “I love that my character is a lot like me in a lot of respects so it makes it easier to play, that’s for sure,” said Kasi Karr who plays Marion Paroo, “As far as being in the show, I just like the friendships that you make and the camaraderie that you get from being part of such a large production and you get really close to everyone and there’s a lot of trust in the show.” The cast consists of 45 high school members and 11 junior high members who make up the boy’s band. In addition to four students on crew, there are also 18 adults who are helping in the orchestra, backstage, and who have built the scenery. There are also 11 high school students in the orchestra. The parents of some of the thespians also provide dinner for the cast and crew on long evening rehearsals, which also

gives the cast time to bond, almost like a family. “I’ve met four new friends this year by being in the musical,” said Bethany Anglin who plays Amaryllis, “They’re so sweet. Everybody gets along so well. It’s like a family.” English said the two scenes that have been the most challenging is when all 45 cast members are on stage performing one of the most famous songs in Broadway history, “Seventy-Six Trombones”. It’s more difficult just because there are so many actors on stage at one time and getting the logistics down on how they are to move and dance is harder than it may look. The same applies for the song, “Shipoopi”. English said that some of the harmonies are difficult as well, especially the barbershop quartet. Barbershop is not easy music and every member has to know his own part to make it work. Three out of the four actors singing in the quartet are freshmen. Some of the most enjoyable scenes for the audience are some of the most challenging scenes for cast and crew because those scenes involve a lot of people, and a lot of moving and action. Another scene that English thinks the audience will enjoy is the first scene, which involves a train. The actors on stage all speak in rhythm to sound like a train. They start out slow as a train would when starting up, and then speak faster and faster, and eventually slow down at the end of the scene. Even the dialogue sounds like the noises a train would make. “I love to get the chance to be someone I’m truly not and to almost be like another person totally opposite from what I truly am,” said Nathan Shutt who plays Harold Hill, “I really am honored to have the opportunity to do that and I really enjoy it. The amount of work that everyone puts in and how far it comes along in such a short time and how it just all clicked right at the end is just truly magical.” The year is 1912 and each actor is responsible for his or her own costume, which they find at Goodwill, Roscoe Village, the Antique Mall, or are rented from a store in New Philadelphia. They try to stay as close to the period as possible. Tickets are $5 per person and will be available at the door. English said she is very grateful for all of the community support and hopes that the audience, as well as the cast, will enjoy the show. “I think the kids really truly enjoy it,” said English, “It’s a lot of work, but it’s very worth it. When they get on stage and perform in for the first time, that feeling is exhilarating. It gives the kids a sense of accomplishment. When you see that final product and you know it’s successful, you get that sense of achievement.”

Seventy-Six tromBoneS led the Big parade All 45 cast members of “The Music Man” rehearse “Seventy-Six Trombones” at a recent rehearsal. Performances will be Friday, April 8 and Saturday, April 9 at 7:30 p.m. The flag in the background was flown over the U.S.S. Enterprise in World War II and has 48 stars. BeACoN PHoTo By BeTH SCoTT

Four letterman return to Coshocton high School tennis team By Jim BarStowThe Coshocton High School tennis team has its sights set on some pretty lofty expectations during the 2011 season. But those high hopes have merit as four returning lettermen and two more seniors will occupy starting slots. Scott Simpson is the lone senior among the lettermen who return and will pair with junior Austin Bryant as the first doubles duo. Juniors P.J. Bair and Andrew Miller will represent as the first and second singles players and seniors Drew Baker and Jason Milliken will play second doubles. “I am excited to see how we grow and react to the challenges which we will most certainly encounter,” Coshocton coach Kevin Kittell said. The Redskins also tasted some success a year ago and is likely to carry over. Overall, the Red and Black finished with a record of 12-6 and made some noise in the East Central Ohio League race with a 5-3 mark. “The season looks to be an interesting one in that many of the teams on our schedule are as balanced as I have seen them in 11 years,” said Kittell.

area business coach recognized for contributionsEdward A. Seitz, president of Gordy Growth Advisors, was recognized at the annual conference of the Professional Business Coaches Alliance (PBCA) recently in Phoenix, AZ, for his contributions to encourage collaboration among member coaches over the past year. “Business coaches are a lot like sports coaches, helping business owners achieve lasting change by providing guidance and accountability,” Seitz said. “And, when the going gets tough, as it often does to effect significant change, we’re there to provide support and encouragement. Encouraging collaboration among all the Alliance members is a natural extension of that coaching philosophy.” PBCA coaches are licensed business advisors who have a minimum of 15 years significant business experience.

Coshocton boys looking forward to another successful season By Jim BarStowThe Coshocton High School boys track & field team has some high expectations to live up to, but head coach Steve Smith is confident that his team will be able to achieve great heights in the 2011 season. “We’re returning from a very successful season where we were able to win our first ECOL Championship in school history,” head coach Steve Smith said. “We graduated three state qualifiers last year and we have young talent ready to fill their shoes.” Inheriting the leadership role are seniors Zach Shaw and J.J. McKay. McKay returns after a successful season in the sprint events and as a member of the Redskins’ state-qualifying 4-by-100-meter relay team. He won an East Central Ohio League title and qualified for the regional in the 100-meter dash. Shaw is coming off a great season, placing in the 110 hurdles and shot put at districts. “JJ will use that experience to show our young athletes what it takes to make it to Columbus and the kids look up to Zach and will follow his work ethic,” said Smith, now in his sixth year. Junior Drew McNichols was a regional qualifier in the discus and sophomore Saquore Harris made it in the 200. McNichols will have to phase back into full strength as he is recovering from a broken collarbone. He and Shaw will be backed in the throws by juniors Nate Conidi and Austin McCrea and freshman Jordan Saylor. Harris and sophomore Jake McKay add to the sprint corps while the distance crew includes juniors Brody Philabaum, Brandon Walker and Hawken Lewis. JJ McKay and Harris will also compete in the long jump and Jake McKay will pole vault. Junior Cole Powers, Lewis, Blust will vie in the long jump and freshman Corbin Coffman in the high jump. Adding depth to the sprints will be Curtis Blake, junior K’Marr Cooper, sophomores Chris Peyatt, Colt Johnson and Jordan Williamson, and freshman Matt Michael. Blake and Walker will also pole vault. The distance group will include seniors Kyle Blust and Steven Wimer and freshmen Ian Hartley, Coffman and Nathan Lain. Some versatility will come from freshman Matt Michael. “Overall, we are excited to get another track season underway,” Smith said. “We have seven returning lettermen and 16 newcomers competing in their first year of high school track. We are going to work hard and strive to get better as the year progresses.”

lady redskins are in a “state” state of mind By Jim BarStowThe Lady Redskins are in a “state” state of mind as the 2011 track & field campaign unfolds. “The girls have worked hard with big expectations,” said first-year coach Keith Matz. “They have state experience in running the 4x100 and would like to return.” Among the returning talent are a group of sprinters who qualified for the state meet in the 4x100 relay, led by Emily Clark. She is joined by speedy set consisting of senior Dejay Duhamel, junior Trista Bryant and sophomore Nicki Carling. Clark and Carling both have a shot at the school record time in the 100 dash, according to Matz. Other standout sprinters are senior Denae Biggers, juniors Miranda Brown and Carley Walker, sophomore Paige Unger and freshman Quantesha Carlton. All are expected to fill in on the 4x200 and 4x400 relays. Distance runners on the team include senior Casey Spang, sophomore Lauren Szymczak and freshmen Casey Fortney, Brooke Kobel, Kaitlyn Salmans and Hannan Ringenberg. “Our distance team will build with our youth where they will get plenty of experience,” Matz said. Returning is junior high jumper Kallie Johnson and sophomore MacKenzie Griffith. Competing in the shot put and discus will be senior Jenna Kreider and freshman Javanna Ramsey. Added depth will be provided by senior Sharonda Brown and sophomore Leighanna Allman.

god reaches out at lenten service By mark Fortune

In a continuing series of Sunday evening Lenten services hosted by the River View Ministerial Association and held at the Camp Warsaw Retreat Center on the outskirts of Warsaw, well over one hundred people joined in song and worship on Sunday evening, Apr. 3. With church congregations joining together in worship from the Warsaw area and neighboring communities to observe Lent, Pastor Mark Schwartz, Camp Warsaw Retreat Center director, said, “It’s a blessing to see the community come together to worship. There are a lot of good hearted people in our community and a lot of good positive things coming from our gathering together.” Ron Davis, the current President of the River View Ministerial Association, said, “I think this has allowed us to come together in one place. It has allowed us to have a neutral place – not that we need a neutral place – it’s still better. I think the congregations have been very open to this. The preaching has been very good. It’s a great group of guys and gals that I work with here, the Pastors of these churches. We all have one thing in common, and that’s Jesus. We’re just

going to lift him up and hope that people are drawn to him and not only during the Lenten services but all the time. That’s what I’m hoping.” Pastor Tim Thomas of the Presbyterian Church in Warsaw, said, “It’s a great sense of community for Christian brothers and sisters to come together and join together in worship during this Lenten season. It gives us a heightened sense of our heavenly father working in our lives. I began working with Pastor Mark Schwartz, who is director of the camp here, and immediately we felt that this was the right place to bring people in, very accessible, and equipped for the purposes that we want to serve the Lord here with. Mark was gracious enough to open up the campground to us and it’s been a blessing to be here.”

The next Lenten service will be Sunday evening, Apr. 10 at 7 pm at Camp Warsaw. Pastor Joy Blaney of the Conesville United Methodist Church will be the speaker.

reaChing out Members of the keene United Methodist Church choir – plus 1 – perform during the River View Ministerial Association evening Lenten service held at Camp Warsaw. The speaker was evangelist Ron Davis of Gospel Hill Ministries who spoke about the outstretched arms of Jesus in a message entitled, “God Reaches out with open Arms.” BeA-CoN PHoTo By MARk FoRTUNe

Johnson-humrick-house museum to have night at the museumChildren ages 5—12 are invited to experience JHM like they never have before. They’ll need a flashlight to explore each gallery in the dark and should be ready for some surprising bumps in the dark. There will be clues to decipher and a mystery to solve. Children will also make a pendant necklace styled by pendants found in Hopewell Indian mounds. Participants will watch Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian and snacks will be served. This is a repeat performance of last summer’s Night at the Museum with a few improvements. We have a repeat appearance by the bear that lives in the cave, but please don’t tell children ahead of time. Children are encouraged to wear pajamas and bring a flashlight and sleeping bag. Admission is $9 for children; $8 for Friends of the Museum, and $1 for accompanying adults. Make your reservations by April 6.

the big Coshocton cleanup and lake park cleanup setThe City of Coshocton and The United Way of Coshocton County are teaming up once again and encourage the community to get involved in the 2011 BIG Coshocton Cleanup campaign on April 30. In conjunction with Coshocton’s bicentennial, a committee of good stewards has enrolled our beautiful city to be involved with the America in Bloom contest. This July, a panel of judges will come and judge our city based on many criteria, with tidiness being number one. The City and United Way wants to do all they can to make sure Coshocton is in great shape for the judging! There will be a container at the Fairgrounds for old furniture and appliances that need disposal. They cannot accept Freon-producing appliances, such as refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners and humidifiers. The Coshocton County Recycling and Litter Prevention Office will also host a Tire Recycling Event the week prior on Saturday, April 23 at the Coshocton

County Fairgrounds from 9 a.m. - Noon. They need all the help they can get, so all organizations are encouraged to help including community groups, service groups, school groups, church groups and families. Sign in at 8:30 a.m. at the Coshocton Courtsquare where free donuts and water bottles will be distributed along with a free “America In Bloom” t-shirt to the first 100 participants. Location assignments will be made and clean up will start at 9 a.m. For anyone who is planning to attend, call the United Way office at 622-4567 or e-mail [email protected]. The more helping hands they have, the more locations they will be able to clean up! The BIG Coshocton Clean Up Day is an event everyone can participate in to make Coshocton County a better, greener place. It does not take money or special skills. It simply takes a caring heart and a willingness to roll up your sleeves. So please, join the City of Coshocton and United Way at 9 a.m. on April 30 for the chance to make

a difference in our community. Join hands for a greener community. LIVE UNITED!

Springtime at echoing hills means fun By mark FortuneThe Echoing Hills Residential Center held a county wide “Springtime in Paris” event for people with developmental disabilities in Coshocton County on Friday evening, Apr. 1 at the Brown Center. Heather Armstrong, development coordinator at Echoing Hills, said, “Paula Dozer, who is our activities coordinator, wanted to start something that would bring all the communities together with developmental disabilities, so we have not only our residents of Echoing Hills Residential Center, but we also have people from Lafayette Meadows and Coshocton County Hopewell. Students from the River View National Honor Society came to help volunteer, Lucky Learners 4-H club is also here volunteering and we also have an Americorps NCC group here. They’re currently working on a work project here at our camp and they came over to help.” “We’re just hoping to have a real fun evening and bring everybody together to have a dance and hopefully start an annual event. Paula just does a wonderful job here.” Dee Woodward Wells, an advisor for the Lucky Learners 4-H club, said, “We are studying diversity and we wanted to explore all different areas of that. That being said, we have been to the Hopewell Valentines dance and helped chaperone that. It was a wonderful, absolutely moving experience. So when they called to ask us to do this, we were right on board. We came out and helped decorate and our kids are learning more about themselves as well as helping other people. I have a wonderful group of kids.”

Alexa Norris, a senior and member of the River View National Honor Society, said this about why she wanted to volunteer, “It’s just important to give back. I’ve been blessed to have such a great family and such great friends and I just want to pass this happiness that I have on to them. This teaches humility. Personally, I’m so thankful for what I have and sometimes I forget how much I have and this just shows me. I want to thank Courtney Lupher for setting this up for the whole National Honor Society.” River View National Honor Society member Courtney Lupher said, “A lot of people are kind of scared when they think about doing something like this and it’s really not that scary at all. It’s an eye opener and it’s fun. I think we learn that people with developmental disabilities are not as scary as maybe people think they are, they’re easily approachable, you just have to do it. I hope this will get people inspired to come back and visit. It’s a blast so everyone should do it.” Paula Dozer, the activities director at Echoing Hills Residential Center, said this about the event, “We would like to start an annual spring event and it’s important to get everyone from the community to come out to Echoing Hills. We are a rural location and we want to

give people the opportunity to be able to mix and mingle with people like themselves, adults with developmental disabilities.” With a theme centered around Paris, Dozer said, “Paris just seemed like a good place to be in the spring. We couldn’t do this without our wonderful volunteers, I would really like to thank them for helping.”

In addition, a CD will be available featuring red, white and blue plant suggestions with pictures. The program will be April 14 at 11:30 a.m. at Roberta’s Catering.

get rid of old prescription drugsOn April 30 from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m., the Coshocton County Sheriff’s Office and the Drug Enforcement Administration, (DEA) will

give the public another opportunity to prevent pill abuse and theft by ridding their homes of potentially dangerous expired, unused, and unwanted prescription drugs. Bring unwanted medications for disposal to the Coshocton County Fairgrounds at 707 Kenilworth Avenue. The service is free and anonymous, no questions asked. Last September, Americans turned in 242,000 pounds, 121 tons, of prescription drugs at nearly 4,100 sites operated by the DEA and more than 3,000 state and local law enforcement partners, including Coshocton County Sheriff’s Office. This initiative addressed a vital public safety and public health issue. Medicines that languish in home cabinets are highly susceptible to diversion, misuse and abuse. Rates of prescription drug abuse in the U.S. are alarmingly high, as are the number of accidental poisonings and overdoses due to these drugs. Studies show that a majority of abused prescription drugs are obtained from family and friends, including from the home medicine cabinets. In addition, Americans are now advised that their usual methods for disposing of unused medicines, flushing them down the toilet or throwing them in the trash, both pose potential safety and health hazards. Four days after last fall’s event, Congress passed the Secure and Responsible Drug Disposal Act of 2010, which amends the Controlled Substances Act to allow an “ultimate user” of controlled substance medications to dispose of them by delivering them to entities authorized by the Attorney General to accept them. The Act also allows the Attorney General to authorize long-term care facilities to dispose of their residents’ controlled substances in certain instances. DEA has begun drafting regulations to implement the Act.

tmulch 101: get to know the unsung hero of the garden(ARA) - Gardeners know that mulch is a great-looking layer of topping on the soil in gardens and landscapes, but mulch is so much more than just a decorative cover. Mirroring the leaf layer found on a forest floor, mulch covering can benefit both plants and soil. There are many different types of mulch to consider. Some mulch contains leaves and bark that decompose and break down over time, while others contain things like pebbles and shredded tires. Mulch’s benefits run much deeper than beauty. * A mulch layer can moderate the soil temperature reducing the effects of extreme heat or cold. * Soil condition may be improved by the decomposing matter from mulch that provides plants with added nutrition. * Mulching a garden creates the ideal environment for earthworms and beneficial organisms. * If heavy rains or soil erosion is an issue, mulch can help reduce these effects. Weeds will find it difficult to become established and grow in a mulched area. Using mulch in the flower and vegetable garden is always a good idea. Not only does it “finish” a bed, but it also creates a path through the garden, even during wet conditions. Use mulch to create trails through planting areas or even non-planted areas, such as under a swing set to prevent erosion, or around a bird feeder to prevent fallen seeds from germinating. Mulch is not just for gardens and landscaping anymore. Use a two-inch layer of mulch at the top of indoor plant containers to help cover unsightly soil, conserve water and keep them looking great.

Available varieties of mulching materials are diverse and nearly limitless. Most preferable however, are mulches that break down over time and add to the nutritional make-up, or tilth, of soil. Most commonly used mulching materials are: bark or wood chips, leaves, grass clippings, straw or hay, newspaper, pine needles, cocoa shells and compost. Each offers unique benefits, depending on use. * Wood chip or bark mulches offer a nice “finished” look, while providing numerous benefits and requiring very little upkeep. These types of mulch are also readily available nationwide. Scotts Nature Scapes Advanced Mulch provides even more benefits than the average wood mulch. Although most bark-based mulches lose color and fade to gray after a few weeks, Nature Scapes mulch has a one-year color guarantee. So, if new mulch is added to your landscaping more than once a year, Nature Scapes can help to save time and money. In addition, the Water Smart technology used in this product has a water-channeling property that prevents over watering in flowers and produces

beds by channeling water directly to the roots. This helps use up to 30 percent less water. * Leaves and grass clippings have the added bonus of being free. However, leaves will need to be chopped up with a mower first and left to compost over the winter for the best value to the garden. Grass clippings decompose quickly and are not as attractive as some other forms of mulch. Both of these materials are better capitalized on if simply chopped up and left on the lawn for a layer of mulch added directly to grass. * Straw or hay is inexpensive, but may contain seeds that will germinate in the garden. * Newspaper is also cheap, but will need to be wet down first, and then covered with another type of mulch to prevent it from blowing away. * Pine needles may drastically increase the soil acidity and are best limited to mulching around acid-loving plants such as blueberries and rhododendrons. * Cocoa shells are becoming popular in many areas because of the unique look, but this is not advisable for pet owners. When ingested by pets, the cocoa shells may cause illness. * Compost is always a great idea because it not only adds nutritional value to the soil, but also is an excellent way to recycle waste. For maximum effect, a 3- to 4-inch layer of compost is required. This is often used in conjunction with another form of mulch, such as wood chips or bark. Mulch may not get the glory in the garden or landscape it deserves, but this often-overlooked cousin of soil has a lot to offer. Even if you just use mulch for its neat appearance, you will still reap all of its wonderful benefits.

Family fun coming to ridgewood elementary CarnivalBy Beth SCott

The Ridgewood PTO will be sponsoring their first ever carnival on Saturday, April 16 from Noon – 4 p.m. in the Ridgewood Elementary auditorium. The carnival is a fundraiser for the students at Ridgewood Elementary and will go toward such things as playground equipment, field trips, and school supplies. Last fall, the Ridgewood Elementary PTO had a fundraiser that didn’t go over as well as planned, so they came up with the idea to have a family-fun carnival with everything from carnival games to a basket auction. Throughout the day, there will be cake walks with cakes and cupcakes generously made and donated by parents. Todd and Kelly St. Clair from Cambridge will be showing off their collection of snakes and bugs in the music room. They have everything from boas to scorpions to a 10 foot albino python. All the animals can be handled, except the scorpions, which will be on display only. There will be something for the whole family to enjoy at the carnival including balloon animals created by the third grade class, and, for $2, even sandy candy. Sandy candy is just like the different-colored sand in a jar kids make at fairs and festivals, only with candy, so they are very similar to pixie stix, only bigger and with a variety of flavors.

During the carnival games, players will receive tickets to accumulate and then cash in at the end of the day for big prizes such as skate boards, basketballs, footballs, and even lava lamps. There will also be a 50/50, raffle, and the concession stand will be open. The raffle will have items such as admission tickets to The Works in Newark, admissions to Rolling Ridge Ranch, two admissions to Kings Island, an overnight stay at Coshocton Village Inn and Suites with dinner and tickets to Shelby theatre, a one-year membership to the Johnson-Humrickhouse Museum, and the big prize is Disney World tickets. The basket auction will begin at 3:30 p.m. Eighteen classes picked a theme for each basket and over three hundred area businesses donated either money or items for the baskets. The baskets are on display at Jackson TV and Appliances in West Lafayette until April 15. Pre-sale tickets are available for two for $5 at the Ridgewood Elementary School from 2:15 – 3 p.m. weekdays or by calling April Scott at 545-7397. Tickets the day of the event will be $3 each. The carnival is not just for students. Everyone is welcome to attend.

CotC announces next generation Challenge scholarship campaignIn a philanthropic move destined to inspire students, community members and fellow givers, Granville philanthropists J. Gilbert Reese and Luella H. Reese are calling the community to action with a $10 million challenge. This challenge will raise endowed funds to support scholarships benefitting students attending Central Ohio Technical College and The Ohio State University at Newark in perpetuity. As an integral part of Central Ohio Technical College, the Coshocton community will play an important role in the challenge. J. Gilbert Reese is one of the founding fathers of Central Ohio Technical College and The Ohio State University Newark and has played a critical role in the continued success of both institutions. Central Ohio Technical College President, Dr. Bonnie L. Coe, said, “The Reeses will match up to $10 million for all gifts and pledges made between April 30, 2010 and June 30, 2012 to support the growth of endowed scholarships for COTC or Ohio State Newark students. The challenge will match gifts dollar-for-dollar up to $10 million. Gifts can be made to the Newark Campus Development Fund (NCDF), a permanent, locally controlled endowment fund that provides funding for innovative projects and scholarships at COTC and Ohio State Newark as well as to COTC and Ohio State Newark directly.” The $10 million of community support plus the $10 million in matched dollars will provide an unprecedented $20 million of endowed scholarships with approximately four hundred $2,000 student scholarships awarded annually in perpetuity. With a still uncertain economy and unemployment lingering around 10% in the region, these scholarships come with perfect timing. The Coshocton campus will also benefit from this campaign. Dr. Coe said, “This is an investment in the local community. We expect employment for Ohio associate degree graduates to grow by 23.1% over the next decade, making the Coshocton campus an ideal platform for economic growth in Coshocton and surrounding counties.” “This is an opportunity to transform all of the communities served by COTC,” said Kim Barton, Development Officer for COTC. “It’s a way for people to double the impact of their philanthropic dollars and help intelligent, deserving students better themselves with a quality higher education.” Dr. Coe said, “The Reeses are very supportive of our extended campuses. Because they support our extended campuses, they are going to match any contribution from Pataskala, Knox County, and Coshocton. The match will be held in Licking County for Licking County students, but a donation from a donor, for example, in Coshocton, will be restricted to the Coshocton campus.” Dr. Coe also said, “We have a history of collaboration and being frugal by sharing resources with both institutions.” (Central Ohio Technical College and The Ohio State University at Newark) Cost sharing allows two smaller institutions to realize the economies of scale and associated benefits of an institution twice the

size. The ongoing commitment to maximizing this partnership results in efficiencies for both institutions and frees up resources that are used to support various endeavors. With a consideration to the rising costs of tuition necessitated by a decline in state funding for higher education, and in light of Ohio’s current economy, the plan is to increase the number and size of scholarships available to our students by increasing private philanthropic support, initiated by the Reeses. An important point, Dr. Coe said, “It is significant in this campaign to note that the Reeses are matching dollar-for-dollar –gifts and multi-year pledges. In most campaigns like this, only what is collected is matched, but the Reeses have armed us with this ability to seek multi-year pledges. Donors have the ability to make a multi-year pledge that can be paid out five years beyond the challenge date and the pledge would be matched in its entirety. No gift is too small.” Barton told of one example where someone pledged $500 for five years who happened to work for a company that matched the donation. This amount was then matched by his company, resulting in $5,000 in total pledges, and combined with the Reeses’, ends up being a total of $10,000 in endowed scholarships. “This ends up being a significant contribution to the campaign”, said Barton. Unlike most other campaigns, the Reeses are also matching planned gifts, including charitable lead trusts, charitable gift annuity, charitable remainder trusts, charitable bequests, retained life estate, retirement plan assets and life insurance. Some of these types of gifts will even allow a donor to earn income for the duration of their life. The extension on the IRA charitable rollover, which allows anyone 70.5 years or older to make an outright gift directly from their IRA to a qualified charity of up to $100,000 per year without paying income tax, provides an additional giving avenue for donors. Dr. Bonnie L. Coe said, “When I think about four hundred $2,000 scholarships in perpetuity, it’s transformational.” For more information on The Next Generation Challenge, contact COTC at 740.364.9644 or visit the Web site at www.cotc.edu.

ridgewood boys track still optimistic after losing five seniors By Jim BarStowThere is a passing of the baton going on within the Ridgewood High School boys track & field team as it jumps into the 2011 season. The Generals lost five team members who participated in the state meet last season and are now looking for individuals to fulfill new, vital roles. Most affected by graduation have been the Generals’ sprint, sprint-relay, hurdle and distance events but coach Josh Lahmers believes there is a strong pool of candidates among the team’s 33-man roster. “Last year we didn’t have a lot of depth and that was probably our biggest weakness but graduation opened up a lot of spots,” he said. “It’s a rebuilding year but there is a lot of competition in a lot of different events.” Hoping to replace the state-qualifying members of the 100- and 200-meter relays made up by Austin Bates (who also qualified for states in the 300 hurdles), Jake Conrad, Colt Landis and James Wiggins and Nate Anderson. Vying for the vacancies are seniors Jarod Conrad, Nick Bellik and Jay McVay; juniors Mark Border, Chris Saylor, Lenard Davidson and Jake Zeigler; sophomores Tyler Rizer and Zach Israel; and freshmen D.J. Varian and Laken Bluck. “So far we have been pretty good with our relays,” Lahmers said. “The 4-by-100 is sort of picking up right where last year’s team left off. We’re not quite to the point where they were, but we’re showing potential.”Saylor finished fifth in last year’s regional and missed qualifying for the state meet in the pole vault by one place. Conrad will also compete in the hurdles. In the distance events, senior Luke Feldner returns, who in the 1600- and 3200-meter run, will need to step up in the loss of Brad Olinger, the Inter-Valley Conference distance runner of the year. It is Feldner’s fourth varsity season. Another senior, Ryan Cunningham had a great cross country campaign in the fall and will push Feldner and he in turn will be pushed by the senior trio of Travis Schlabach, Tyler Bradford and Marley Cumbee.” Juniors in the mix are Daniel Burch, Patrick Cushman and Nigel Hackenbrackt as is sophomore Lindy McConnell and freshman Jason Abel. Freshman Cole Zeigler will compete in the middle distance races and junior Davey Garber in the hurdles. In the field events, the shot put and discus crew will be paced by juniors Evan Jones and Joe Holmes and senior Donald Mullet. Sophomore Ben Newell also push for his place in the mix as well junior Tyler Mann, freshman Jared Lindig. Senior Richard Hawthorne is a legitimate 20-foot threat in the long jump and a solid high jumper. Junior Derek Lahna will also high jump. Junior Jacob Gallagher will also compete. Pole vaulters are Saylor and freshman Hayden Burkholder. Saylor was a regional qualifier last season in that event. “For a lot of our kids, they are competing in their first-ever track meets so it’s a learning experience,” said Lahmers. “But we have some key pieces to the puzzle. It’s just a matter of whether we can put it all together. “There is some potential, but I don’t know yet if that means “state material”, we don’t know yet.”

ridgewood girls track head coach optimistic about 2011 season By Jim BarStow

Head coach Chris Cabot’s assessment of the Ridgewood girls track & field squad bodes pretty well for the 2011 season. “We seem to be solid across the board,” Cabot said. “I’m not sure we are strong in any particular area but a solid number of girls makes us fairly deep from the team standpoint.” Among the leading returnees are seniors in sprinter Jasmine Valdez, hurdlers Jessica Casterline and Jordan Viaea, shot put and discus thrower Laissie stocker and distance runner Paige Erb. Juniors include Roxanne Thursby, Haley Wiggins and Meghan Cunningham in the sprints and sprint relays, Ali Lusk in the shot put and discus and Kayla Tedrick and Alaynee Wright in middle distance and long jump. Cunningham will also compete in the pole vault. Sophomore contributors include Maddy Jones and Madison Kistler in middle distances, Victoria Wiggins in sprints and relays, Kira Smalley in the pole vault and Paige Lane and Mackenzie Bates in the throws. Newcomers include senior Anna Viega and juniors Halie Schwab and Alayna Frazee. “We lost a lot of seniors from last season so we will have to look for people to step up and fill their shoes,” Cabot said.” He also expects the Lady General to compete with Sandy Valley, Garaway, Tuscarawas Central Catholic and Strasburg for supremacy in the IVC. “They all have solid teams and look for the league to be competitive,” Cabot added. “Our goal is to be in the mix and try to compete and have a shot at winning the league meet.”

river view boys track to continue their tradition

By Jim BarStowAs the 2011 high school track and field season unveils itself, the River View boys team is out to continue a tradition built to the point that it has become an annual contender in the East Central Ohio League and a prominent figure in district, regional and state competitions. “We have a lot of athletes from the school who are out for the team and that will help us,” coach Mike Gray said. “We’ve been successful in the past and they want to be a part of the tradition. The River View track uniform has been very visible and hopefully we can continue that.” Seniors whom Gray says will contribute to that continued success include sprinter David McVay, who placed fifth in first year’s regional 200-meter dash while Marcus Elgart will run the 400, 800 and perform the pole vault. Bill Woodmansee will run the distance events, Daniel Adkins is in the shot put and discus and John Jenkins will compete in the 800 and long jump. Also, Ernest Sheldon and Brett Wang, a Chinese foreign exchange student will add depth in the sprints. Juniors who are expected to impact the

team are Ethan Widder in the distance races and is coming off a cross country season in which he qualified for the state meet. Steve Betz in the shot, discus and hurdles, Zach Elson in the sprints, high jump and long jump, Jacob Fortune in the high jump and 400, Chris Justice in the distance races and Clay Wilson in the sprints. Aaron King is in the pole vault, sprints and is the top returning hurdler. Gabe Mitchell, Chad McCoy and Niklas Schmelmer in the sprints and jumps. Schmelmer is an exchange student from Germany. Representing the sophomore class are Nate Davis in the high jump and middle distances, Brendan Wriston and Brice Finton in the sprints and jumps, Matt Denbow in the throws, Garrett Gee and Kurt Strongosky in the hurdles and middle distances, Zach Pessia in distances and Kevin Shroyer in the sprints. Gray said freshmen Javen Guilliams will contribute to the sprint events, Corey Miller in the distances, Trevis Stamper in the middle distances and Tyler Stein in the throws. “I believe we have a talented team,” he said. “It’s just a matter of being young and we as coaches trying to put the right marbles in the right bag. “We’re rebuilding somewhat but we have a good blend of kids.”

lady Bears contend with young team this year By Jim BarStowThe Lady Bears track team will be a young squad with only a handful of seniors leading the team. “We need to replace some pretty good athletics and we lost most of our points from last year,” head coach Vince Andrews said. “We may not be as strong as we were last year, but we’ll be okay. We have a good mix and a lot of potential in a lot of the events so we’ll be competitive.” Andrews has high expectations for senior Kari Carnes and juniors Tanna Rodehaver and Kristin Eaton, sophomore Tamika Long and freshman Bailey Moore in the sprints, senior Kim Sycks in the hurdles, juniors Rachel Hammond and Keirsten Ashcraft in the distance events and Laura Lauvray and Ciarra Ramsey in the throws. Rodehaver will also compete in the long jump while sophomore Katie Smith will compete in the sprints, long jump and high jump.

Friends and family make long trek to help celebrate 100 yearsBy mark Fortune

Friends and family members from as far away as Nova Scotia, California, Florida and Massachusetts enjoyed cake and celebrated with Rose Marie Gray, who is turning 100 on Wednesday, Apr. 6. The party was held at the Pleasant Hill Baptist Church in the western part of Coshocton County. Family and friends watched a slide show of memories and family history while Rose was greeted with warm hugs and embraces by well wishers. After all, it isn’t often that someone gets to celebrate their one hundredth birthday. Roses’ Brother Leo LeBlanc, who made the six day drive from Vancouver Island, British Columbia said, “I had to be here. This is my sister.” LeBlanc is one of five surviving Gray brothers and sisters. “I grew up in Nova Scotia

and joined the service. I ended up on the west coast and decided that was where I was staying.” M i c h e l l e Teater, who is a grand-daughter of Rose, and spends a lot of time with her, said about the day, “It’s awesome. Just to know someone in our family that has made it that far and I don’t think anyone else has. So that’s amazing. She is a fighter. She’s feisty and is the most pleasant person you would ever meet. She’s just so sweet, she’s a sweetheart.” When asked what she thought helped Rose make it to 100, Teater replied, “A positive

attitude. She eats well. She takes care of herself and she exercises.” Another grand-daughter, Susie Likins, who came from Marblehead, Massachusetts, with her family, said, “We couldn’t miss it. We haven’t seen ‘Nana in four years. We knew this was coming and we just had to be here. This is just so awesome. We haven’t seen most of these people since I was twelve. A lot of the people came from Nova Scotia so it’s just great. And for my daughter to meet all of these people, it’s great. And I’m happy for my Grandmother that everyone could be here because this means a lot to her.” Dr. Virostko, who is Roses’ doctor, said laughingly, “We take full credit for her one

hundred years.” When asked what he thinks helps a person make it to the century mark, he said, “I’m not sure I have the insight for that. They certainly need to have a lot of tough character. She’s always very pleasant. She’s quite frail, but whenever I come in, she says, “Hello, Doctor.” She’s still going. She’s quite a character.” John Gray, one of Roses’ two sons, said, “It makes me feel great. I think it’s wonderful for her to make it this far. She eats real good. She cooks her own meals. She eats well balanced meals. She’s always had a good attitude about life.” A special memory for John, “The trips we used to take when I was a kid. We used to ride the train from Lynn, (Massachusetts), to Boston, then from Boston to Greenfield then from Greenfield up into Vermont and spend weeks with my father’s sister and then when Dad died, mom and my father’s sister became real close. Those are the things that I value.” Brother Robert “Bob” Gray, stated, “This is wonderful for mom. What a special day.” When asked about his favorite memories, he responded, “All the times mom and dad came to my baseball games as a kid.” Now in an exclusive club known as “Centenarian”, Rose Marie Gray herself said about the day, “It’s overwhelming.” When asked about how it made her feel to have so many family members travel the long distances to help celebrate her 100th birthday, Rose replied, “Wonderful. There’s all kinds of memories. One hundred years of memories.”
