“The Last Song” (PG) | “The Bounty Hunter” (PG-13)STarTing May 7th - “Iron Man 2”
12:01 am Showing - Tickets on sale now!
We have enjoyed 31 years of beautiful music. The late Joe R Engle presented the Coshocton Presbyterian Church with a Taylor and Boody tracker-action organ, which was dedicated on May 20, 1979. A concert series, also a gift of Mr. Engle, has continued through the years. Our guest artist this year is Mr. Terry McCandless. Mr. McCandless received a Bachelor of Music Education degree with an emphasis in organ from Southern Adventist University, and a Master of Music degree in organ performance from the University of Tennessee. While still in undergraduate school, Terry began studying with master musicians in
Europe, a practice he continues today. He has specialized in performance practice of Baroque and Classical music on the historic instruments of those time periods. Concert performances have taken Terry throughout the United States and to Germany and Holland. In addition to solo concerts, he plays continuo with chamber ensembles and regional orchestras. Terry is presently minister of music at Epiphany Evangelical Lutheran Church in Pickerington, Ohio. He is also on the faculty of Kenyon College in Gambier, Ohio where he teaches organ and harpsichord. This year’s concert will feature music of Germany, Italy, and France from the 18th and 19th centuries. Mr. McCandless is an artist, playing music with skill and attention to detail. He is dedicated to sharing his love for the organ with his congregation, his audiences, and particularly with his students. Join us for this concert in the sanctuary of The Presbyterian Church, Coshocton, located on the corner of Chestnut and North Fourth Streets, on Sunday, May 2 at 3 p.m. Handicapped parking is available beside the church. An elevator is available inside. Additional parking is available in the city lot off of Fifth Street. There is no charge for the concert. You may greet the artist at a reception following the program. The public is cordially invited to attend this concert in conjunction with the Dogwood Festival of the Arts.

Saturday, May 1st Gospel Music Night
Canal Quilters present annual quilt showBy Beth dulAneyAbout 200 quilts will be on display at the Agents
Auction Gallery on Friday, April 30 – Sunday, May 2 lovingly made by the members of the Coshocton Canal Quilters. The show is called “Down the Garden Path” and is completely sponsored by the Canal Quilters. All 130 members participate and help with the show each year since its beginnings in 1987. The quilt show has always been a success in the past. This year, the show will feature ten different categories, including pieced bed quilt, mixed technique quilt, appliqué quilt, lap quilt, baby quilt, miniatures, wall-hangings, miscellaneous, such as clothing, home décor and needlework, and youth-made quilts, which are made by young people who don’t belong in the group, but have an interest in quilt-making. Lisa DeBee Schiller will be speaking at the event. She does appliqué quilt work and will be giving a brief lecture and trunk show on Saturday afternoon. Five different quilt shops will also be at the show to display their products. The show will also be raffling off a beautiful
appliqué dimensional quilt, not quite full-sized, but more like a traditional art wall hanging. Tickets are $1 or 6 for $5. All monies raised will go toward the Canal Quilters and tickets can be purchased from any Canal Quilter member. On Wednesday, April 24, members and their guests will have the opportunity to view the quilts and vote for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place in each category. The public will then have the chance to vote for best of show. Admission to the show is $3 with children 12 and under free. The show begins at 10 a.m. and ends and 6 p.m. on Friday and Saturday and 4 p.m. on Sunday. This is one of the biggest quilt shows around, so don’t miss it! The Canal Quilters meet the first Tuesday of each month at 7 p.m. at the Roscoe United Methodist Church. The group is open to anyone who wishes to join. For more information on the Canal Quilters, visit their Web site at www.sewfarout.com.
Annual Edward E. Montgomery Jr. Piano Competition plans underwayPlans for the 23rd annual Edward E. Montgomery Jr. Piano Competition to be April 3, 2011 are underway. The competition was established in 1987 by The Montgomery Foundation to honor the wishes of Edward E. Montgomery Jr., with the participants performing on his piano that currently rests in the Founder’s Gallery in the Visitor Center in Roscoe Village. In the past years, the competition has been open to participants residing in Coshocton County grades 9 – 12. Something new for 2011 will be an expansion to a Junior Division/Senior Division format that will now include participants in grades 7 – 9. Ninth graders will have their choice in division to compete. The winner of the Senior Division will receive $1000 cash prize, while the Junior Division will be awarded $250 cash prize. Entry rules will remain the same for the Senior Division. In the elder division, participants compete with a memorized selection from the current OMEA Class A list. The Junior Division will require competitors to
perform a selection from OMEA Class C list and memorization will not be a requirement. Any person who provides piano instruction to an individual who resides in Coshocton County, or a prospective competitor, is encouraged to contact The Montgomery Foundation Office, 365 N Whitewoman St, Coshocton. Phone number is 622-2696. If sufficient interest is demonstrated in obtaining instruction as to the Judge’s expectations, both during the audition process or performance, a mini-seminar will be scheduled to review guidelines and respond to questions.

onAs much as I would like to write about the Indians, Cavaliers or all of the local events that have occurred – and are going to occur – in our community, there is another, more pressing matter at hand. The Coshocton City Schools have placed a 3.16 mills, 34 year bond issue with a required (by the State of Ohio) half mill maintenance levy on the May 4 ballot. If you are a registered voter living in the Coshocton city school district, then you are eligible to vote on this issue. No one likes to pay more taxes. Let’s get that out front right now. No one. But sometimes you have to dig a little deeper to take advantage of a unique opportunity that has presented itself. This is one of those times. The State of Ohio school funding commission has put 16.1 million dollars in front of us to build a brand new, 116,000 square foot, state of the art pre-kindergarten through sixth grade elementary school in the city of Coshocton. The taxpayers have to pay the remaining 33%, or 9.45 million dollars over a 34 year time frame. The Coshocton City School Board decided to let the community have the say in this matter, as they should have. But the Board could have said “No” to the money and instead keep spending money to patch leaks and repair the old buildings. This is not about Pride or the rich History that these schools possess. They have both. I believe
my mom graduated from Central when it was the high school. But just like our cars, mowers, dishwashers and other things that need maintained in life, school buildings only last so long before they become detrimental to a positive learning environment. The
three aged city school elementary buildings are past that point. They are educationally obsolete. So when someone tells you that you only have to do what you know you need to do – that is, construct a new, modern, elementary school building, and they are also willing to give you 16.1 million dollars – or 67 cents of every dollar needed – and you can locate that facility on land you already own – and that land is adjacent to the current high school – then you go for it. Our community needs to start moving forward again and this project would be a real shot in the arm for that. But the long-term implications are more important. Our kids deserve the best possible learning environment that we can give them to compete in today’s increasingly global workforce. Our teachers deserve a positive working environment so that they can shine even brighter. Some will say that this is not necessary. We can continue to repair and fix up the old buildings. But sooner or later, that strategy won’t work anymore – and certainly not at an affordable rate. Further,

we’re denying our children the opportunity to learn and grow in a more positive, healthy environment. Attendance will increase, attitudes will improve and test scores will climb. On average, for less than $87 per year, we can help provide a school building that will allow teachers and students to climb to an even higher level. A “Yes” vote on May 4 is a vote for our future, for our children and for our community.

The Coshocton County Senior Center honored their volunteers with a luncheon on Friday, April 23, at 11 a.m. The purpose of the luncheon was to recognize and honor all volunteers that had committed at least 20 hours of service to the Senior Center. The event began with some comments from Mayor Steven Mercer. “We have absolutely one of the most benevolent cities I have ever been in,” said the Mayor, “and I am proud to be mayor of this city.” After the Mayor spoke, the Gala Gals gave a performance of some of their music in their repertoire. They sang songs such as The Good Old Summer Time, Just Because, You Are My Sunshine, and Take Me Out to the Ball Game. Then, Dorothy Kent gave some comedic observations of everyday life, and even had some questions about the afterlife she’d like to ask producers of the hit series, Ghost Hunters on SciFi. Everyone at the luncheon got a laugh out
of her hilarious remarks about her life, and especially her grandchildren. Afterwards, various people gave poem readings and at the end of the luncheon, each volunteer was presented with a certificate and candy bouquets that were at each table place.

Senior Center recognizes and honors volunteersBy Beth dulAney
Local physicians become hospital-based clinicsBeginning May 3, several physician offices in Coshocton and surrounding areas will be reclassified as Hospital Based Clinics of Coshocton Hospital. As a result, there will be some changes and enhancements to the way patients are registered for services at these physician offices. This change being implemented by Coshocton Hospital addresses some of the reimbursement challenges that providers are facing under today’s ever-changing healthcare environment. Efforts are underway to minimize the impact this change will have to patients, with minor changes in the registration process and a slightly different billing structure. Hospital officials are excited about the positive impact this change will bring to the community, and help to enable the future delivery of healthcare services to the residents who live here. The affected clinics will continue to have access to the many resources of Coshocton Hospital and, of course, clinic staff will continue
their efforts to meet the healthcare expectations of our patients. The Coshocton Hospital Family Physicians Clinic, located at 440 Browns Lane in Coshocton, made this change nearly 18 months ago. The clinics now making this conversion are: Pleasant Valley Doctor’s Clinic; Dresden Medical Clinic; Warsaw Medical Clinic; Medical Services of West Lafayette; the Coshocton Pediatric Clinic of Dr. Susan Merzweiler; and the Arrowhead Clinic in Newcomerstown, OH. Coshocton Hospital is communicating these changes in advance in order to make the transition as seamless as possible for our patients.

“Rock the Arts” is so much more than just art By Beth dulAneyThe 3rd annual Rock the Arts Celebration of Education is coming to Coshocton High School on May 8 from 10 a.m. – 3 p.m. This is a huge event that really brings all of the schools in the city of Coshocton together for one main event to show off the student’s achievements throughout the year. This isn’t just about beautiful art, but focuses on all aspects of education. There’s everything from science, music, and photography, the dissection of a turtle. But the fun doesn’t stop there. The main goal of this event is to kick back and have a party that celebrates these students and their achievements. There will be displays, games, a concession stand, a silent auction, opportunities to help a couple of great causes, and so much more. This event is completely self-funded by the teachers and they receive absolutely no funding from the school. All the hard work and dedication they put into this is completely volunteer only. They do not receive compensation for the long hours it takes to put this together. All sponsors are listed on the back of a Rock the Arts t-shirt that are available during the event for $12. The design on the front of the shirts, which depicts two guitars that crisscross and are decorated with roses, was created by a 6th grader at Central Elementary School, Justin DeMoss. “It’s an opportunity to showcase what the students have done during the year,” said Jon Cotterman, teacher at the high school and program coordinator, “They don’t have many venues to show their work. That’s why we created this.” The Rock the Arts really has something for everyone. There’s the Think Quest “Submit a Thinking Cap” where students from the 3rd or 4th grade can make and submit a cap representing a profession they most admire. All entries must be made from 80% recycled material and be submitted to the festival between 9:30 – 10 a.m. the day of the event. Caps will be judged and the winner will be announced at 2:30 p.m. Come and see what the future holds. A fortune teller will also be at the festival from 10:30 a.m. – 2:30 p.m. Step into the Fortune Teller’s tent and learn what the future will
bring. If you love taking pictures, you’ll want to enter the photography show. It’s open to students kindergarten through 12th grade. There will be no judging. It’s all in fun. Get up and dance to Just Dance, which has replaced Guitar Hero this year. This is for students ages pre-teen to teen and will be featured on the wii system. If you’re looking for something furry and cute, the animal shelter is allowing the volunteers to bring a puppy and kitten to play with. They will also have information on how to adopt your very own pet. Along with the Animal Shelter, there will be other tables set up as well. The library will have a table where you can make your own bookmark, and both the Pomerene Center and the Johnson-Humrickhouse Museum will have a table as well. If any teacher in the district would like to set up a table and display creative writing essays, poetry, science fair projects, etc, contact Dawne Shook or Myrtle Beall at the Coshocton High School at 740-622-9433. If you’re looking for more of a science activity, come and watch as Danielle Crown, Junior Advanced Biology Student, performs a live dissection on a turtle. But if you’re looking to help a good cause, Rock the Arts has many opportunities for just that. The festival committee will be sponsoring a Bread Art Table. This is very unique and can also be done from home. Visit www.gowiththegrain.org, create a piece of art on an electronic slice of bread, submit it to the Web site, and $1 will be donated to Share Our Strength to help feed America. Rock the Arts will have computers set up at the event for people to show their creative side on a slice of bread and help end childhood hunger in America. The AP Art Students in Mrs. Beall’s class are also doing the Butterfly Project. This is another project you can get involved with at home. The Holocaust Museum in Houston is trying to collect 1.5 million homemade butterflies to symbolize the number of children who perished in the Holocaust. Stop by the table and create a beautiful butterfly. There’s plenty of entertainment provided
by the students. School choirs and bands will be performing as well as students from Miss Jennifer’s Dance Studio. There will also be a silent auction including glass pieces, traditional art, live floral arrangements, and also one of the fish on Second Street during the Dogwood Festival that was created from recycled material last year. “If you’ve never been here before, you’re missing out on seeing some wonderful things,” said Dawne Shook, English teacher at the high school and program coordinator, “It’s such a positive wonderful experience as a district to come together and it’s also a great family event.” The Iron Chef will be making its second appearance at the festival. This was Kristen Binggeli’s idea and it has really taken off. Students and the community can make their dish at home and bring it in the morning of the event to be judged. Prizes will be awarded for each category. First place prize is an iron skillet. All entries must contain the secret ingredient: pineapple. The main goal of the event is to make it one big party where the community can view the student’s achievements and sit back and relax while munching on some free popcorn or something from the concession stand. “It’s also a unique opportunity to see where your tax dollars are going in the school system,” said Myrtle Beall, art teacher and coordinator of the event. There will also be a 50/50 raffle, Rock the Arts T-shirts, beads, 80s sunglasses, face painting, and many other activities too numerous to name. All money raised will go back into the account for next year’s show. Rock the Arts will also be at First Fridays on May 7 with a table outside of Dean’s Jewelry where the community can come and paint rocks. A schedule for Rock the Arts will be available. “One reason I started this is so that the community and the school could come together and celebrate the student’s efforts throughout the year,” said Myrtle. For more information, visit their Web site at www.rockcoshocton.com.
Rock the Arts will have something for the students every day of the week leading up to the main event.
Monday: “Hats off to education”: Wear your most creative hatTuesday: “Great minds think alike”: Dress like twins
Wednesday: “Go crazy in celebration of a great school year”: Wear RTA shirt, crazy socks, and crazy hair
Thursday: “My favorite thing about school is…”: Dress up to represent your favorite subject, sports, etc…
Friday: “Our school rocks!”: Wear your favorite music t-shirtThe RTA committee has planned a theme week prior to the event in which all students
in the district are encouraged to participate in the days special dress up events.

sThe time for a “Yes” vote is now By mArk fortune
The Coshocton County Beacon recently met with the Superintendent of Coshocton City Schools, Dr. David Hire, Todd Salmans, President of the Coshocton City School Board and Mr. Greg Coffman, who co-chairs the bond committee along with Judy Maxwell, to discuss the upcoming bond issue. The Coshocton City Schools have placed a 3.16 mill bond issue and a state required half mill maintenance levy on the May 4 ballot to build a new elementary school on the same campus as the high school. The Ohio School Facilities Commission would provide 67% of the funds necessary to build the school – while property owners in the city school district would be responsible for the remaining 33% spread over 34 years.
Todd Salmans, President of the Coshocton City School Board, said, “The Ohio School Facilities Commission is allowing school districts to do what is called a “segmented build”, in other
words, concentrate on building only what you need. What we need is a new elementary school to replace the three aged structures – for example, Lincoln School is now over 100 years old. We’re trying to be considerate to the taxpayers and not over-burden our taxpayers. But we don’t know how much longer this funding will be available – we want to get what we can because you don’t know when the money will disappear. The positive for our children is that a new facility will be state of the art – and have all the bells and whistles – and allow them to compete in this global economy. Being on one campus will allow shared learning with faculty and more cooperation for learning. This is also a positive for safety issues – having all of our kids together is a neat thing. Now, we don’t know what it will look
like yet – passing the bond issue is the first step. But we will have no disruption of learning because we can continue in our current buildings until the new elementary school is built. I think we have a really unique opportunity”. The Beacon asked Salmans why, considering senior citizens, passing this levy is important. Salmans responded, “We can receive 67% of the funding for this school from the state. Somewhere down the road this community has to address the elementary facilities – this may be a once in a lifetime opportunity to get this much money from the state of Ohio. Should five of us (referring to the Coshocton City School Board members) make this decision – or should the community make it? This is for the community. So we felt it was not for the school board to decide – we could have said, “No”, to the money but I don’t want someone ten years from now to say, “Wow, how did you do that”? It is for Coshocton to decide. That’s my view as a board member. We’re giving people a say – that’s what this country is built on. It’s not about what I want; it’s about what the community wants. This could be the most exciting thing that could happen in our town in a long time”. Dr. David Hire,
Superintendent of Coshocton City Schools, said, “It’s our time to do something positive. Our future rests with our kids. The current schools weren’t built with today’s needs and requirements in mind. At Lincoln Elementary, for example, we have a trailer in the playground that serves as a library; we have art and music in corners of the stage, which also serves as the cafeteria. Computer class is also taught on the stage. We just don’t have a dedicated place for those things. We have kids trying to learn in the hallways and outside of classrooms in these schools. It is distracting. This new school would have less square footage than Central Elementary but would be designed differently and would be much more conducive to learning. People have asked, “What’s it going to look like?” Well, the design phase would be 5, 6 or 7 months then you are into winter. Construction would start in the spring of 2011 and you need about 18 months for that, then you would move in for fall 2012. This facility would also certainly allow for decreased operating costs because of greater efficiencies and environmentally friendly construction. Benefits for our students would be that they will enjoy learning more, kids will enjoy going to school more, it looks better, it feels better, and it’s just a better environment in which to learn. The utilization of the space allows for technology to be built into the classrooms, appropriate workspaces for the students, meeting the types of needs our kids have today. Fifty, sixty or seventy years ago, you didn’t have to teach every student, now you have to educate every child. There are many kids in our community that have a lot of special needs and we can have classrooms that take this into account. I think a lot of it is just pride in your building and pride in your community. The community will be proud of this building. This is something
“It’s our time to do something positive. Our
future rests with our kids.”
- Superintendent David Hire
“I think the main reason to do this is to really ensure that our children have all the advantages that they can possibly have with
their education.- Greg Coffman

tangible that you can be proud of. When you drive by it you can see where your tax dollars went. People that come to our community will make a judgment call based on what our schools look like. Communities are getting these buildings all over Ohio, so people are somewhat used to seeing newer schools. They don’t want to take a step back. We have the opportunity with the elementary school to keep the millage low – 3.6 mills – and at 34 years to keep it low. We have tried to make it as attractive as possible to the taxpayer. There’s never a good time to ask for money but this is as good a time as any by taking advantage of this sale, so to speak. The state has set aside 16.1 million dollars for our district and if we don’t use it they will make it available to another district. The only way we can get this is to come to the voters. If you’re under 65 you are looking at around $86 per year for the typical homeowner in the city school district. That amounts to twenty-four cents per day. The fact is, we wouldn’t be asking for this if we didn’t need it. We do need these elementary schools fixed. When they get to be 100 years old, they are fraught with a lot of challenges. And every winter we have more and more challenges. So it takes more and more money for the upkeep of these buildings”. Hire concluded, “It’s our time to take advantage of this money. We certainly have a need for it. We’re going to continue to do a quality job educating our kids. The reality is, forty years ago, you could graduate in the buildings we had, go and get a job from the local community and be set. Our kids today that are trying to graduate will probably have four or five careers, and 80% of their jobs probably haven’t been invented yet. It is a tremendously difficult job preparing kids for that future and this can benefit our kid’s future and make our community more attractive for business. I’m hopeful that we can get this done because it can impact this community in so many ways. I would rather be part of the solution than complain about the situation. This can be a real shot in the arm”. Greg Coffman added, “I think the main reason to do this is to really ensure that our children have all the advantages that they can possibly have with their education. The technology is very important. We’re doing well
with what we have but it is cost prohibitive to continue retrofitting these old schools. This is a 25 million dollar construction project that will create some jobs and help local businesses for a year and a half. Just for that alone is a good reason. Due to the age of our current schools, it may cost us more money to vote no on this bond issue and that is a really important point. If we say no, what are we saying no to? Really what we want, if you’re going to vote no, just make sure it is an educated vote. But if you take a look at it, the positives far outweigh the negatives. We can have a brand new facility that can exist for several generations. The maintenance costs are low because the efficiencies are there. This is probably the last best chance we may have for years. This is 67% funded by the state and may be the last round of the tobacco settlement money. We hope the community looks back and says, “I’m glad we did that”. This school will be built “green”, and will be safer, cleaner and more inviting for our children. It would utilize sunlight and space much better than our current buildings. We have great teachers and great kids; let’s give them the building that they deserve”.

Playing softball at night? Until 1950, this wasn’t a reality until county officials, the city recreation department, and the fair board decided to erect poles and lights at the softball field at the fairgrounds. They met with the Ohio Power Company and Jones Metal Products to make this happen. After the lights were erected, each team in the softball league played half their games under the big lights and the other half during the day on the field on Second Street. The field will be lit with 54,000 watts using 36 bulbs. Once Ohio Power erected the poles and installed the reflectors from Jones Metal Products, the softball teams could finally play ball under the lights. The installation took two weeks.

The Coshocton National Bank was to receive a new addition – an artistic addition that is. Nationally-renowned artist Dean Cornwell unveiled his latest masterpiece entitled “Canal Days” at the Coshocton National Bank later that month. The bank knew they wanted an historic painting back in 1957 when renovations began on expanding their office. A number of other artists were considered and interviewed for the job, but in the end, Dean Cornwell’s work won them over. He had other pieces featured in magazines and his work had been seen by millions. Now, a beautiful mural stands in tribute to his great artwork in Coshocton County for all time.
1970April 30th, 1970
The dedication of the new Coshocton High School was an event not to be missed. Dr. Charles Gehrke, professor of chemistry at the University of Missouri, returned to his home town to speak about science and education. Gehrke is known nationwide for his acclaimed work on the analysis of moon rocks. He had slides available at the dedication of Apollo 11 and Apollo 12 flights, lunar Samples, and lunar laboratories. Congressman John M Ashbrook presented the school with the Coshocton flag, which had flown over the nation’s capitol. The event was scheduled to take place on May 3 in the gymnasium.
1980May 1, 1980
The Coshocton Nazarene Church dedicated its new Fellowship Center Sunday, May 4 at the 10:30 a.m. worship service. Dr. D. E. Clay was to be the guest speaker. After the service, a brief memorial service and the laying of the corner stone took place. The center was dedicated to the memory of Rev. E. L. Jefferson who served as pastor from 1964 – 1978. The new gymnasium houses many activities such as basketball, volleyball, roller skating, and weight lifting. The center is only open to persons involved with the church and would not be available for rent. The fellowship hall would be available for rent for meals, weddings, and anniversaries.

All information was obtained from microfilm of the Coshocton Tribune at the Coshocton County Library.
The Board of Education, at a special meeting on Monday, Apr. 26, passed a resolution stating their intention to reduce the rate of the existing Permanent Improvement (PI) tax levy by 0.5-mills for the remaining two years of collection if voters approve the 3.16-mill bond issue and state required 0.5-mill maintenance tax levy at the May 4th election. The intention is that the half mill state required maintenance levy would be fully offset by a reduction in the existing Permanent Improvement Levy. Coshocton City Schools Superintendent, Dr. David Hire stated, “It is not going to get any cheaper than this.”

Therapeutic Art By Beth dulAneyJulia Ostler is a regular at the Coshocton County R.H.D.D. She loves bright colors and especially riding the R.H.D.D bus. She also loves her new room at the Cassingham Hollow home for persons with disabilities. Julia’s room used to look pretty bare until Lisa Bash decided to paint a mural in Julia’s room. She talked with artist Janelle Kron and she agreed to do the mural. After drawing multiple designs, she showed them to Julia. She immediately went to a drawing of a tree and butterflies, picked it up, and claimed it as her own. The painting took two weekends. When it was finished, that staff at R.H.D.D. began to notice positive changes in Julia. She really began to take ownership of her room and has had a positive influence on her health and safety. She is also more independent, and the mural has made her calmer and she enjoys her room a lot more. If you talk to Julia, the first thing she’ll tell you is that she loves her “tree” and she can’t wait to ride that R.H.D.D. bus. Coshocton County R.H.D.D. is a non-profit organization that provides services for people in the community with disabilities. Visit their Web site for more information at www.rhdd.org.

Thespians at River View High School present “Oklahoma!”By Beth dulAney
Thespians at the River View High School love being on stage and it shows during their rehearsals. During every moment, the actors and actresses break character only when instructed by their director. When they walk on that stage, they are no longer themselves, but transform into their characters. This spring, the River View Thespians will be performing Oklahoma! on April 30 and May 1 at 7:30 p.m. Doors open at 7 p.m. The High School gymnasium have been transformed into a quaint country setting that was designed and created by three men whose children have graduated. But they still come back every year to help create the scenery and make the performance come alive. “Without those three guys, I don’t know what we would do without them,” said Debbie English, director.Rehearsals started in February and have been going well despite having to miss a few because of the snow. The first rehearsals dealt mainly with character development and procuring costumes, which are provided by the students themselves. As time progressed, the students and director began the blocking process where each scene is painstakingly scrutinized and all the mistakes are worked out. “I like the show because it’s so much fun to do,” said Colby Tarrh, who plays the lead role Curley, “My character, Curley, is so much fun to portray. His songs are so happy and go-lucky. All the characters are really a lot of fun.”The average person doesn’t know what goes on behind the scenes, even at a small high school production. Along with character development, there is choreography, lighting, sound, hair and make-up, getting tickets ready, storing costumes, all which work together to make the play run smoothly. Royalty dues are also something most people don’t think about. They can cost up to $2,000, depending on the play. “We really appreciate businesses and the community for donating money and allowing these kids to have this experience,” said English,
“because they probably will never have this experience again.” There are 48 students in the cast and 70
students participating in the play. Oklahoma! begins at 7:30 p.m. with a pre-show dinner from 5 – 7 p.m. Tickets for the dinner are $6 for adults and $4 for children 12 and under. Tickets for the show are $5. “It’s fun to watch the students grow and accomplish something through dedication,” said English. “It’s such a positive experience for them. There’s so much that goes on in a musical and it pulls kids from all different groups in school together and they become friends. They really bond together and it becomes like a family.”
the fArmer And the cowmAn should Be friends The River View high School Thespians will be presenting oklahoma! on April 30 and May 1 at 7:30 p.m. at the high school.

Coshocton Friends of the Animal Shelter changes nameCoshocton Friends of the Animal Shelter is in the process of changing their name to Four Paws Friends, according to Sandi Guinther, president of the association. The Board of Directors voted to change the name at the annual meeting on March 9. The purpose is to help clarify to the public the differences between the two non-profit associations, Guinther said. “Over the years, there has been a lot of confusion about Friends of the Animal Shelter and the actual Animal Shelter,” she said. “In some cases, people thought we were one and the same group. We are not. I have talked to Chris Sturtz, Humane Officer for the County, and she is in complete agreement that there needs to be a name change.Originally, the Friends of the Animal Shelter was formed to raise money for physical things needed at the Shelter. In years past, Friends
of the Animal Shelter purchased dog cots for the kennels, paid for and installed automatic waterers in the kennels, had the kennels repainted, purchased a large grooming bath tub, and spent $10,000 on special cages for the Cat Isolation Room. They also spearheaded a $120,000 building expansion, and with the help of many contractors in the area, saw that project completed in 2009. Periodically we are also able to donate pet food and newspapers to the Shelter. In June of 2009, Friends of the Animal Shelter opened a Thrift Store & Pet Adoption Center at 504 Main Street which will now be called Four Paws Thrift Store & Pet Adoption Center. At year’s end, 2009, we found “forever homes” for 117 dogs and 129 cats through the Adoption Center and Cat Adoption Center at Tractor Supply Company. Money raised through the store and other donations are now being used
to adopt animals from the Animal Shelter, along with caring for owner surrendered animals. Once these animals are surrendered or purchased from the Shelter, they are spayed or neutered, vet checked, updated on vaccines, heartworm checked and bathed in preparation for finding a new “forever home” for them. Proceeds are also used to help transport groups of dogs to other rescues on the east coast that have stricter spay and neuter laws and are desperate for loving pets. The new name, Four Paws Friends, easily ties in with the Thrift Store name and makes it easier for people to understand that we are not the Animal Shelter. We are a no-kill rescue center for dogs and cats. In addition, it will be much easier when doing fund raising projects for the public to know if their money is going to Four Paws or the Animal Shelter.
Sponsor balloons at Balloon FestivalWould you like to ride in my beautiful balloon? Well, you can, and all you have to do is sponsor one. The Coshocton County Chamber of Commerce and the hot air balloon festival committee are seeking businesses and individuals to sponsor balloons for the 2010 Frontier Power Hot Air Balloon Festival. One person from the sponsoring business gets to take a ride on Friday evening, weather permitting. After the sponsor ride, sponsors are invited to join the pilots and crew for a hog roast. Your business name will be attached to the balloon basket all weekend announcing your support. Each year, the balloon festival committee invites past sponsors to continue their support. Those invitations are now out, and it’s time to open the opportunity to businesses that did not sponsor last year. For $500, you can support the festival and be a part of offering free entertainment to Coshocton County. The Hot Air Balloon Festival is the longest continuously running hot air balloon festival in Ohio and brings thousands of visitors to
Coshocton County every year. The hotels are full and restaurants are busy. Call the Chamber of Commerce at 622-5411 for information about how you can support this wonderful event.

Archeology Lecture coming to CoshoctonCoshocton County is a hotbed of archeological material. New information is being discovered yearly. Dr. Nigel Brush, Associate Professor of Geology at Ashland University, will share some of his recent findings on Thursday, April 29 at 7 p.m. at the Johnson-Humrickhouse Museum in Roscoe Village. The topic of Dr. Brush’s lecture is The Cullison Protohistoric Village Site at Warsaw and the Warsaw Warrior petroglyph. The Cullison Protohistoric Village Site is located near the present village of Warsaw and was occupied by Native Americans between A.D. 1610 and 1660. Dr. Brush conducted an archeological fieldschool at this site in the summer of 1995 with students from the College of Wooster. Artifacts recovered from the site included flint tools, flint debitage, stone tools, pottery, animal bones, and plant remains. During the Beaver Wars (A.D. 1650-1700), Iroquois warriors from the area of present-day New York State made frequent raids on the Ohio Country and eventually drove most of the indigenous population from their homes. A petroglyph found at the Cullison Site may depict one of these Iroquois warriors. Dr. Brush has published two articles on his work at this site: “The Cullison Site: A Protohistoric Village in East Central Ohio” (Archeology of Eastern North
America 33: 79-103) and “The Warsaw Warrior: A Protohistoric Petroglyph of an Enemy?” (Pennsylvania Archeologist 75(1): 62-72). Dr. Nigel Brush is an Associate Professor of Geology at Ashland University. He has a Ph.D. in Anthropology from the University of California at Los Angeles, an M.A. in Archeological Method and Theory from the University of Southampton in England, and a B.A. in Anthropology from the Ohio State University. Brush has taught courses in anthropology, archeology, geology, and environmental studies at The College of Wooster, Kent State University, Ohio State University, The University of Akron, and Wayne College. He served as curator at the Killbuck Valley Museum of Natural History for 10 years, has published a book entitled: The Limitations of Scientific Truth, and is currently a director of the Ashland/Wooster/ Columbus Archeological and Geological Consortium.

Your POLE BUILDING Headquarters QUALITY MATERIALS and ALWAYS FRIENDLY ADVICE!
Keim Lumber’s 2010 Anniversary Breaks RecordKeim Lumber Company, which will be 100 years old in 2011, continues to be a leader in the building materials and home improvement market. For the second year in a row, Keim’s Anniversary sale, April 14-17, set an all-time high in a down economy. When the 2009 anniversary sale ended with a record setting volume of sales, the Keim Lumber staff was elated. As the year rolled on and 2010 came with a continued slump in the building industry, there was little hope to match the record sales volume. But with a slight up-tick in the housing market and the continued expanding of Keim’s product and service lines, the seemingly impossible happened. When the
first two days of Keim’s 2010 sale were slightly down from 2009, the staff was disappointed yet grateful for the sales volume, which they were seeing. After Friday’s moderate sales, it looked like a good sale, but not another record-setter. But by the close of business on Saturday, there were plenty of smiles as the total sales rose to a new high several thousand dollars over the 2009 record. There were also smiles in the homes of this year’s prize winners. Jim Register of Wooster was the winner of a $10,000 Keim Lumber gift card, Regan Schlabach of Walnut Creek received a $5,000 gift card and Kenneth Haas of Valley City Ohio received a $2,000 gift card.
The winner of a new Weber Grill was Tobias Yoder of Danville, and William Williamson of Irondale, Ohio received a 4-piece Milwaukee tool kit. Scott Van Horn of Loudonville won the 3-cushion, outdoor swing and Wayne L. Miller of Sugarcreek won this year’s teen drawing for a $100 gift card. Congratulations to all the winners. Business continues in this 100th year of Keim Lumber, in Charm Ohio, and the Keim family and staff look forward to continued growth. Will the 100-year Anniversary Sale in 2011 be another record setter. We’ll have to wait and see.
Grow your own flowers and vegetablesFor three years, David Lozowski has had a community garden available behind the Family Physician office for the public to come and grow their own vegetables and flowers. There are currently 46 plots still available at no charge. Last year, Lozowski had 42 plots, but the garden was so popular, he decided to add on. He asks that anyone interested in a plot can go down to the garden and stake out their spot, but to please call and let him know, and make sure your name is somewhere on the plot you wish to use. His number is 623-0685. The garden is good for community service projects, such as 4-H, and the students at the Coshocton Career Center made a sign for the garden as a community service. Lozowski also wants to thank Buehler’s for allowing people who use the garden to park in their lot. Lozowski plans to install a hand-pumped well in the garden by this summer. If anyone has any experience in that, please contact him. The community can also donate chemical free
grass clippings at the far end of the garden for compost. On the plus side, Lozowski says groundhogs have decreased from last year. For more information on the community garden, or to stake out your personal spot, contact David Lozowski at 623-0685.

State Rep. Troy Balderson visits children at Coshocton Head StartBy Beth dulAney
Children in Brenda Brown’s Head Start class received a special treat on Thursday, April 15 when State Representative Troy Balderson stopped by to read to them. Troy read, “The Grouchy Ladybug” by Eric Carle. It was about a grouchy ladybug who met a happy ladybug. Instead of sharing his food with the happy ladybug, he said, “Get lost.”One little boy in Brenda’s class observed that, “Those were not kind words.” The grouchy ladybug picked fights with other insects, hyenas, a gorilla, an elephant, and even a whale. Finally, the whale’s tail hit the ladybug and he flew all the way back to where he started from. He once again met the happy ladybug and he shared his dinner with the grouchy ladybug, even though he had not been nice to him that morning. After the story was read, Brenda and volunteers gathered balloons and led the kids outside. The children had each written a note
attached to the balloon with the Coshocton County Head Start address. They are hoping, whoever finds the balloons, will write them back. After letting them go and watching them sail into the air, the kids talked about where they hoped the balloons would land. One little girl hoped her balloon will make it to Santa while another said her balloon was probably already to Mexico by now. The balloons were to commemorate Young Child’s Week, which was April 12 – 16. Every day, a different activity was planned. Monday was hat day and they read Cat in the Hat, Tuesday was favorite color day and the kids mixed different colors and painted, Wednesday was green day and the kids cleaned up around the school, and Thursday was crazy day where kids wore their craziest outfit. “This is definitely the best part of my job,” said Troy Balderson. “Anytime you get to spend time with kids, whether it’s reading to them or at the state house, it’s always the best. It’s my way of giving back and I’m glad I get the opportunity to spend time with them.”
celeBrAting young child’s week State Representative Troy Balderson came by the Coshoc-ton County head Start to read to the children as part of the Young Child’s Week. The children also went outside and released balloons into the air with their school address written on a piece of paper tied to the balloon. They are hoping whoever finds the balloons will write them back. BeACoN PhoTo BY BeTh DULANeY
Port Authority seeking Brownfield sitesThe Coshocton Port Authority is seeking the public’s help to identify any potential brownfield sites. The effort is part of a process the agency has undertaken to develop a countywide brownfield site inventory. The port authority was awarded two $200,000 U.S. Environmental Protection Agency grants last year to assess potential brownfield sites and properties with petroleum underground storage tank issues. A brownfield site is defined as real property for which the expansion, redevelopment, or reuse of which may be complicated by the presence or perceived presence of a hazardous substance, pollutant, or contaminant according to BJAAM Environmental, Inc. The Canal Fulton firm has been retained by the port authority to implement the scope of services outlined in the federal grant award.
“I encourage any individual who has direct or indirect knowledge of a potential brownfield site anywhere in Coshocton County to contact the port authority with as much information as possible,” said executive director T.J. Justice. A form is available at www.coshoctonportauthority.com. Justice said that once an inventory is generated, the list of sites will then be prioritized in terms of potential redevelopment and other factors. Some sites will be selected to have Phase I and Phase II environmental assessments conducted along with remedial action plans. Typical brownfield sites include abandoned or underutilized industrial sites, such as factories or other manufacturing sites, and commercial sites, such as dry cleaners, petroleum bulk facilities, and gas stations, as well as former
residential sites which may have asbestos contamination. For more information, contact Mr. Justice at (740)-622-7005.

Founders of Citizens Against Domestic Violence speaks at annual Victim Right’s Week Lunch By Beth dulAney
Only four days before Christmas of 1992, Tina Croucher was brutally murdered by her ex-boyfriend while she slept safe in her bed. He then turned the gun on himself. After dealing with unspeakable grief and heartache, Tina’s parents, Jim and Elsa Croucher, decided to form Citizens Against Domestic Violence to help educate students and young adults about this horrible occurrence. Since its founding in 1996, Jim and Elsa have spoken to 94,000 students around Ohio about domestic violence, how to have a healthy relationship, and how to recognize signs of a bad one. On Tuesday, April 20, Jim and Elsa came to Victim’s Right’s Week Annual Lunch at the Presbyterian Church. They began their presentation by telling a little about Tina’s relationship with her boyfriend. She met a boy from another high school, who incidentally had been raised in an abusive home, and they started dating. Elsa said she noticed little things about him she didn’t like. He started telling her what she could and couldn’t wear, he would get jealous when she talked to other boys, and he even transferred to her school so he could be with her all the time. Elsa said the control he had over her quickly became abuse. When Tina came home with a black eye, she said some of her friends were playing football and the ball hit her in the eye. Jim and Elsa were suspicious. Then, one day, the boy was suspended from school for shoving her up against a wall. Tina’s parents advised her to break off the relationship. She did. Suddenly, he was everywhere. Every time Tina went to class or the grocery store, he was right there behind her. There were no stalking laws in affect at this time, and finally, he convinced Tina to take him back, showing her
receipts from counseling sessions he had taken. Right before Christmas, Elsa had made plans with Tina. She called the house around 10 a.m., but received no answer. After trying multiple times to reach her, Elsa called and asked a neighbor to go over and check on her. When she turned onto her street, Elsa was met by emergency vehicles parked in front of her
house. Four years later, Jim and Elsa founded Citizens Against Domestic Violence and pushed for House bill 19, dubbed “Tina’s Law” to pass. House bill 19 mandates that, starting next school year, 7th – 12th grade students must be taught how to recognize and prevent teen dating violence and bullying. This program will reach 296,000 students every year. “We need prevention,” said Jim Croucher, “We have intervention, but, especially with young people, that’s where we can make a difference.” Statistics show that 74% of violent adults came from an abusive home. “I hope they understand the seriousness of teen dating violence and domestic violence and how our young people are involved in this and how they are dying,” said Jim Croucher, “Your community needs to take a stand and if you don’t, a lot of your young people are going to lose their lives or be in a bad situation.” After their presentation, awards were presented to Deputy Nancy Wilt, of Coshocton Sherriff’s Department, Christine Wilson, Coshocton Municipal Court Probation Officer, Donna Ryan, Clerk of Courts Office Common Pleas Court, and a representative of the Emmanuel Lutheran Church for their efforts in helping victims of domestic violence. An honorary award was given to Judge Richard Evans for his years of service. The Coshocton County Memorial Hospital provided a lunch of deli buffet-roast beef, ham, turkey, cheeses, soups, chips, pies, pasta salad, and a variety of drinks. For more information on Citizens Against Domestic Violence, visit their Web site at www.cadv-ohio.com.

Their daughter, Tina Croucher, had been brutally murdered by her abusive boyfriend just four days be-fore Christmas in 1992. Four years later, they founded CADV to help deal with their grief and to help others understand the negative affects of domestic violence. BeACoN PhoTo BY BeTh DULANeY

singin’ in the rain By mArk fortune
As storms passed through Coshocton County on Sunday afternoon, Apr. 25, the Coshocton Community Choir presented their annual spring concert, titled, “At the River”, at McKinley Auditorium to a receptive and enthusiastic audience. Dr. Charles Snyder directed the choir in such favorites as; “Down to the River to Pray”, “Sing to the Lord a New Song”, “At the River”, “It is Well With my Soul”, “Down by the Riverside”, and other favorites. In addition to singing several well known favorites, the Coshocton Youth Chorale and the Coshocton Children’s Choir joined the Community Choir in singing “Down by the Riverside”. Cyndi Shutt, who sings with son Nathan in the Coshocton Community Choir, said, ‘It’s an honor to be in the choir. We have a lot of fun with Mr. Snyder. He is such a wonderful, wonderful conductor. He pulls things out of music that I would never dream of. To be in the choir with my son is an honor. Every time we sing together is such a blessing to me. I strongly encourage those that like to sing to come and try out for the choir. If you are an
alto or a soprano, bring a tenor with you! We’re always short on tenors. We have a great time”. Kasi Karr, who is in the Coshocton Youth Chorale, commented about being in the choir,
“It’s a lot of fun. I’ve done it for years. It’s a great chance to meet new friends, meet new people and it’s a great thing we’re doing for the community. I’ve been in the children’s choir since the fourth grade and this is my second year in the Youth Chorale. My favorite today is, “The Storm is Passing Over”, it’s a really fun number”.

Area seniors perform their last concert with the Coshocton Youth ChoraleBY JAN MYERS
Sixteen area seniors with the Coshocton Youth Chorale sang for the last time as part of the Coshocton Community Choir’s spring concert, At the River. The concert was Sunday, April 25 at 3 p.m. at Coshocton High School’s McKinley Auditorium. Many of the students have been a part of the Youth Chorale, under the direction of Charles R. Snyder, for a number of years. Katelyn Guenther is a senior from Ridgewood High School and has been in the Youth Chorale for four years and was also a member of the Children’s Choir prior to that. “I love music,” she said. “Mr. Snyder has been my director since fourth grade. He inspires me to be a better musician and he has been like a father figure to me. The Children’s Choir and Youth Chorale are great ways to meet kids from other schools. I can’t imagine not knowing these people now.” Laura Mould attends River View. She has also been a four-year member of this group and is a Children’s Choir alum. “I enjoy how a lot of my friends are in the group, too,” she said. “I get so excited to see all of them from all the other schools. I have learned a lot about music from Mr. Snyder since fourth
grade.” Mould says she hopes to continue to sing in college choirs. Jayma Leavengood is a senior at Ridgewood and has been in the Youth Chorale for two years. “I am glad I finally got the chance to sing again like this,” she said. “I had stopped singing in eighth grade. I have also enjoyed meeting the people from the other schools.” Kaitlin McKay attends Coshocton and this is her first year to sing in the Youth Chorale. “A friend of mine from school convinced me to try out this year and I’m glad I did,” she said. “It’s been good to have at least one year in the group. I’ve enjoyed being a part of such a good choir. I would recommend anyone to try out for the Youth Chorale.” MacKenzie Stoffer is also a senior at Coshocton. She has been in the choir for four years and was also a member of the Children’s Choir. “My grandmother is in the Coshocton Community Choir,” she said. “She talked me into trying out for this group and I am glad I did. It doesn’t get too much better that getting to learn from Mr. Snyder.” Stoffer says she plans to sing in college choir. This is Ridgewood senior, John Browning’s first year in the Youth Chorale. “A lot of people I know are in the group and I used to think it
wasn’t for me,” he said. “But I finally decided to try out this year and now I wish I had tried out earlier. It is a good thing to be a part of.”This is also Ridgewood senior, Jessica Guinther’s first year in the group. “I had sat in on a couple of the rehearsals last year and liked it, so I decided to audition this year,” she said. “I really enjoy most of the songs we get to sing. Mr. Snyder makes it fun. You never feel alone here in this group.” Joe Hilgenberg is a senior at Coshocton. He is a Children’s Choir alum and has been singing in the Youth Chorale for four years. “It’s really been enjoyable,” he said. “I have enjoyed singing in a more professional group like this. Mr. Snyder is a great guy, and everyone in the group is so friendly. I usually leave rehearsals in a better mood.” Tyler Shumaker has been singing in the group for three years and is a senior at Ridgewood. He agrees with Hilgenberg that being in the group helps his mood, too. “I’ve enjoyed learning about the ‘shelf theory’,” he said. “When we come
to rehearsal, we are to put our troubles on a shelf for the time being and just enjoy the music. One of my favorite numbers that we are singing at this concert is The Storm is Passing Over.” Shumaker suggests that anyone interested in joining the All-Ohio State Fair Youth Choir to try out for the Coshocton Youth Chorale. “I was also in that choir last summer,” said Shumaker. “Mr. Snyder is the director for both of these choirs.” Ridgewood senior, Brian O’Connor, has been singing in the Youth Chorale for three years and he encourages others to try out for the group. “Make sure you do it!” he said. “Don’t hesitate for a second and think ‘Oh it might be boring’. It’s neat that we get to sing so many new pieces which enhances our sight reading ability. I have also met so many new people from other schools. Mr. Snyder teaches by example and he has become a main role model in my life.” The Coshocton Youth Chorale was founded in 1992 by director, Charles R. Snyder and is open to students in grades 9 – 12 from area high schools with auditions each fall. Contact Choir Business Manager, Lee Bown, for more information at (740) 622-3960, or visit the choir’s Web site at www.CoshoctonCommunityChoir.org.

Eight area eighth graders sang for the last time with the Coshocton Children’s Choir at their spring concert, At the River. The concert, which was in conjunction with the Coshocton Community Choir, was Sunday, April 25 at 3 p.m. at Coshocton High School’s McKinley Auditorium. Many of the students have been a part of the Children’s Choir, under the direction of Charles R. Snyder, for several years and most say they plan to try out for the high school group, The Coshocton Youth Chorale. Kaylee Schoepe is an eighth grader at Ridgewood and has been singing with the Children’s Choir for five years. “I’ve had so much fun and Mr. Snyder is so fun to work with,” she said. “I have learned a lot, too.” Brooke Kobel and Nikki Jobe are both eighth graders at Coshocton. Kobel has been singing with the Children’s Choir for two years. “My favorite song in the group is I’m Goin’ Up A Yonder,” she said. “I have enjoyed the experience of being part of this group and performing in the concerts. I will definitely miss it.” Jobe has been in the group for four years. “I enjoy this so much because I am really dedicated to music and love singing,” she said. “It is something I am good at. This has been such a heartwarming experience that I will never forget.” Madison Kenney is an eighth grader at Indian Valley Middle School. She has been singing with the Coshocton Children’s Choir for four years. “I have always loved singing and performing,” she said. “This has been an awesome experience. I hope to always keep singing.” Chase Reveal and Austyn Reveal are both homeschooled eighth graders. This was Austyn’s
third year to sing in the choir. “It’s fun learning the new music and making new friends,” he said. “My favorite songs that we will be singing at this concert are I’m Goin’ Up A Yonder and Blessing.” This was Chase Reveal’s first year to sing with the group after his brother encouraged him to try out. “I had never been in a choir before,” he said. “I really liked it and enjoyed all the songs and made some new friends.” Josh Hilgenberg and Nathan Lain are both eighth graders at Coshocton. Lain has been in the choir for two years. He will accompany the choir on a couple of numbers on the upright string bass. “Singing in this choir has allowed me to be a part of learning a higher level of music,” he said. “Mr. Snyder is really good to work with and the performances are fun. I
especially enjoy the Bandicoot song that we will be performing at this concert. It’s awesome.” Hilgenberg has sung in the Children’s Choir for five years and really enjoyed the kazoo number they did a few years ago. “After you’ve been in this group for a while you just kind of become dedicated,” he said. “I like Mr. Snyder and enjoy meeting new people. I have definitely learned a lot about music.” The Coshocton Children’s Choir was founded in 1987 by director, Charles R. Snyder as a project of the Coshocton Community Choir, and is open to students in grades 4 through 8. Auditions are each fall. Contact Choir Business Manager, Lee Bown, for more information at (740) 622-3960 or visit the Web site at www.CoshoctonCommunityChoir.org.

yCoshocton Career Center hosts annual mock car crash
By Beth dulAneyJim Childress is proud to say that for the past six years, there hasn’t been an accident due to drunk driving on prom night in Coshocton County. During those six years, he has been conducting a mock car crash in the Coshocton County school districts each year. On Wednesday, April 21, the Coshocton County Career Center witnessed a mock car crash in the back parking lot. Five of their student council members, Jamie Guthrie, Matthew Schlarb, Macey Patterson, MacKrea Kilpatrick and Wendy Proffit were inside. Three Rivers Fire Department, Coshocton County EMS, and Coshocton County Sherriff’s Department arrived at the scene. Med Flight was called in later to transport Macey Patterson, who was
severely “injured”, to the hospital. Two students, Jamie and MacKrea, were “fatally wounded”. The demonstration was presented by the Safe Prom Program and was sponsored by the Farm Bureau. On Wednesday, April 14, 165 out of 230 students signed a “Prom Safety Pledge” at an assembly. “I hope they take this home with them and practice what we’ve told them,” said Childress, safety supervisor, “In the past, we’ve had some bad things happen. This program brings it home to them instead of just talking about it.” Childress also wants to thank all the emergency squads for coming out and helping with the demonstration.

Cleanin’ up is fun! By mArk fortune
Pictured are five area youngsters preparing to do their part to help clean up Coshocton. Families, groups, organizations and members of the community met at the Courtsquare on Saturday morning to receive their instructions, grab an orange trash bag, green tee shirt, snack on a donut or two and snatch a bottle of water before heading in various directions to help clean up Coshocton. From left to right are; Josie Fornara, Kenzie Potter, Jade Hasseman, Carly Livingston and Skylar Hasseman. Skylar Hasseman said, “It’s important to clean up Coshocton so other people can see how good of a place we have and it’s good for
the environment”. Carly Livingston commented, “I’m looking forward to it. This is my first time. There are some parts of town that are not as cleaned up as other streets. To help keep the city clean people can recycle and pick things up and throw them away instead of throwing it on the ground”. S u z a n n e Smailes Clark, United Way Executive Director added, “We’ll be cleaning up on Second Street, Cambridge Road,
Chestnut Street, Walnut Street, the Girl Scouts are out at the fairgrounds, we have people doing Third, Fourth, Fifth and Sixth streets, Morgan Run Road and other locations. I’m happy with the crowd we have here today and we have a lot of kids. It shows them what community spirit is all about. It’s great to get them involved and show them how it’s done for the future. They are our future here in Coshocton”.

It’s “okay” to swap pie! By mArk fortune
One thing you find out at a grange event is that it is “okay” to swap pie with your neighbor or an empty seat, provided, of course, that you both don’t have a hankering for the only piece of peanut butter pie in the vicinity. Members of the Coshocton County Grange met for their annual banquet at the Fresno United Methodist Church
on Tuesday evening, Apr. 20. A meal of ham, baked potato, salad, rolls and all the extras was prepared and served by the members of the Progressive Valley Grange. Following a welcome by Wayne Young, Pomona Master, Jim Childress, County Deputy, introduced special guests including the three candidates for Common Pleas Court Judge; Robert “Bob” Batchelor, Van Blanchard and Todd Drown. The guest speaker was Cristie Merce, who told several humorous stories to the members. Merce said, “When an old person dies, you lose a library”. Merce has been telling stories for 25 years and has written three hundred
stories about her life. Also in attendance was the current President of the Ohio State Grange, Gary Brumbaugh, who stated, “We enjoy getting over here, there are some very active granges in Coshocton County. There is a lot of activity here in this county and we appreciate all they do”.
In talking about change and the impact on the Grange, he commented, “People are going to have to get more modern. We need to do more with email. That’s the way to communicate. I utilize it often. Those that have it profit from it. We do more with it because of costs. We’re encouraging people to use our website; we have good information on it. We just ask people to give us your email address so we can communicate. That will help the Grange”. You can visit the Grange website at www.ohiostategrange.org.

Fifth annual Cosmetology Beauty Days FundraiserJuniors and seniors in the Coshocton County Career Center’s Cosmetology program worked hard Tuesday, April 6 - Friday, April 9 at their fifth annual Beauty Days event. Beauty Days is a special fundraiser the class conducts each year, which provides discounted beauty services to county residents. This year, the program’s students serviced walk-in clients, those with appointments, and Career Center students and staff, earning them gratuities totaling $1,658, which was the largest proceeds ever garnered by the annual event since its inception. Monies earned will be applied toward costs for the Career Center Cosmetology seniors to take their Ohio Cosmetology Board’s licensing examinations next month. The services available included haircuts and
styles, coloring and highlighting, manicures, pedicures, facials, facial hair waxing, and makeup application, among other services. Proceeds from the three-day event and a bake sale, which was in conjunction with it, will cover the exam and license fees for all sixteen seniors, as well as their lunch while in Columbus on examination day. The popularity of this anticipated event has grown each year and is now the sole fund-raising event needed to offset these expenses. The students also wish to thank everyone who came out and supported them either by having a service performed, or by purchasing or donating goods at the bake sale.
Foster wins “Best of Show” By mArk fortunePictured is Brad Birkhimer presenting Dennis Foster with the “Best of Show” trophy at the second annual “Riders for Relief” event. Birkhimer forged and crafted the trophy onsite using traditional blacksmithing skills. The winning trophy was sponsored by Classic Lawn Care & Landscape. Birkhimer, also known as the Roscoe Village blacksmith, was assisted by Emmett Sparks. Complete with live bands, food, games for the kids at Autumn Health Care, area motorcyclists gathered in the lot between Auer Ace Hardware, Stewart Interiors and Chrysler Jeep Dodge of Coshocton to raise money for the lowernine.org and New Life Ministries.
Even with the threat of an afternoon thunderstorm and high winds, the majority of cyclists hung around to hear if they won an award or a door prize. Talking over the distinct throaty roar of Harley Davidson’s headed home, Foster said about his award, “I won with an ’89 Sportster that I bought and cut apart over the winter and then put back together with a hard tail and 250 rear tire and Springer front end. This is my first bike built and it came out very nice, apparently everyone seems to like it
as well. I think it was a good show but just wish the rain would have held off a bit longer so I didn’t have to ride home through it”.
