open for shopping. Coblentz Chocolates serves as the busy mar-ketplace, and the Carlisle Village Inn serves as the Inn with no room. You will see shepherds in the field in the grassy area located between Carl-isle Gifts and P. Graham Dunn. Angels are at P. Graham Dunn and King Herod is at Yoders Home and Hardware.

The final stop is at The Farm at Walnut Creek where there is a living Nativity and refresh-ments. This entire pro-gram is free to the public.

All the businesses are within walking distance, except for The Farm at Walnut Creek, at 4147 County Road 114, which is about a mile down the road from the Wallhouse Hotel.

This all started because Amy Yoder, the marketing coordinator at Coblentz Chocolates, had been involved in one of these events at her church. They were no longer doing it, and she really enjoyed it. She thought it was a very meaningful and fun thing to do, so we decided to try and do it as a fun thing for the community, said Vickie Van Natta of Dutchman Hospitality Corporation. It is free of charge for the public and

it is put on by a bunch of volunteers.

Were happy how well people have responded, but at some point down the road, we might have to add another day or week-end, Van Natta added. Well see how it goes after this year.

Henry Hampton at The Farm in Walnut Creek is responsible for getting the most volunteers, about 150 to 170 helpers.

The live Nativity and food is served at The Farm, and he just gets amazing response when he asks people for help, Van Natta said. We would be hard-pressed to get that many volunteers if he did not take care of

such a large portion of it.Hampton provides cos-

tumes and live animals for most of the stops along the journey, along with fresh cinnamon buns that are made the days of the journey. Also, cookies and Rice Krispies Treats pro-vided by Walnut Creek Cheese and Der Dutch-man Bakery, chocolates from Coblentz Choco-lates, hot chocolate, cof-fee and apples from the orchard are all provided at no charge.

Were thrilled how well its been received and how people enjoy it, but weather has been a bit of a challenge, Van Natta added. Its either been really, really cold or

weve had a lot of snow or rain. But we havent had to cancel any nights. Even with the bad weather last year, we had 1,800 people come through on Friday night.

Parts of Holmes County now ruled Disease Surveillance Area

Saying it owed it to the sportsmen of Ohio and the wild deer popula-tion, the Ohio Division of Wildlife put into law last Thursday a Chronic Wast-ing Disease Surveillance Area for parts of Wayne and Holmes counties.

Essentially, any hunter who harvests a deer dur-ing the gun season, bonus weekend or muzzle-load-er season for the next three years in Franklin and Clinton townships in Wayne County, and Rip-ley, Prairie, Salt Creek, Monroe, Hardy, Berlin, Killbuck and Mechanic townships, as well as the northeast portion of Rich-land Township (defined by the boundary of Township Road 36 to state Route 520 to Township Road 31 to U.S. Route 62), is required to take the deer to one of two collection sites, where samples will be taken and then tested for CWD.

The move comes on the heels of 19 deer test-

ing positive for CWD at a shooting preserve and breeding pen in Holmes County since October of 2014. Before then, CWD had never been detected in Ohio, either in pen-raised deer or the wild population.

Some people are going to think weve gone over-board (on monitoring CWD in the target area), but we grew increasingly concerned when we found pen-raised deer outside the infected pens, said Jamey Emmert, spokes-person for the Ohio Divi-sion of Wildlife. There were at least 20 deer out-side the pen and that cre-ated a significant potential for CWD to spread to the wild herd.

The late implementation of the law was something the Division of Wildlife was hoping to avoid, but with the recent change of chiefs of the division and wanting to think of all the possible scenarios hunters might face, the final draft wasnt worked out until early Thursday.

We didnt want to wait

until next year to do this, said Emmert. As the Division of Wildlife, we want to be as responsible as we can.

By law, successful hunt-ers who take a deer in any of the three gun seasons in the 11-township area must first check their deer in using the standard pro-cess, then take it to either the Ohio Department of Transportation garage, 1800 S. Washington St.,, Millersburg, or Industrial Park, 8254 County Road 245, Holmesville.

Carcass inspection loca-tions will be open and staffed from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. during the deer-gun, bonus weekend and muz-zleloader seasons.

Hunters will be asked to provide their confir-mation number from the game check process as well as the location where the deer was killed (the address of the farm or nearest road intersection are acceptable). Tissue samples will be taken and tested for CWD. The pro-cess should take no more than 10 minutes, however, delays are likely at peak times of the day. Hunters are strongly encouraged to complete the game check process before pro-ceeding to the inspection, but division staff will be

able to assist with check-ing deer.

Hunters that harvest a deer and wish to have it mounted will still need to takecass inspection station. Samples will not be taken at the time, but staff will collect addition-al information so samples can be collected later.

If a deer tests positive, well contact the hunter, said Emmert. If they dont hear, their deer is negative, so no news is good news.

Samples taken from each deer will be sent to the Ohio Department of Agriculture facility in Reynoldsburg, where itll take 2-3 weeks to get the results back, and will cost the DOW $25-$35 per test.

Were hoping everyone complies, said Emmert. Weve made this man-datory. Its the law. Now hunters have to do their part.

The law does not apply to last weekends youth season or the archery sea-son.

We want to collect as many samples as possible, but its just not feasible (to keep a collection station open) during the archery season, said Emmert.

Not only is the hunter required to deliver his deer to a carcass inspec-

tion station, but several other regulations apply within the Disease Sur-veillance Area:

Q Prohibits the place-ment of, or use of salt,

Secret ingredient brings dazzle to entire batchIt wasnt all that

unusual to come home to find a big pan of cook-ies sitting on top of the stove as my daughter, Sylvia, is a compulsive cookie baker. With her high school musical only a day away, I figured she was working some of her magic either for fel-low cast and crew, or for the bake sale during the plays intermission.

Still warm and oozing with chocolate chips, it was all I could do to walk on by, but I knew better than to snatch one and risk the ire of Glinda the Good Witch of the North Sylvias role in the production.

I went about my quick business of gathering some things then ran off again to a meeting across town. When I returned an hour later I found the kitchen a tempest of

wooden spoons, melted chocolate and powdered sugar. Chex cereal boxes and peanut butter jars lay gasping on the floor as Sylvia along with my wife, Kristin, argued fero-ciously over the proper quantity of puppy chow to place in each sandwich bag.

Wait, wait, wait! I shouted, slapping the counter beside them into a mushroom cloud of sugar. What in the world are you lunatics doing? I thought you already baked cookies for the play.

Uh, well, no, snipped Sylvia. I guess you

thought wrong. We planned on making this puppy chow all along.

Fine then, I said as I waded through the melee toward the still-full cookie tray on the stove. Guess that means its cookie time for me!

Ah, um, I I wouldnt do that! blurted Kristin just as I was about to settle my teeth into a bite. Mother and daugh-ter eyeballed each other with a look that imme-diately told me they had colluded on some sort of oath of silence. Wide-eyed, neither spoke a word as the cookie hov-ered in front of my open mouth.

Well enough, I knew how to break right through this little game, I thought as I inched the cookie closer. Finally, Kristin popped off like a teapot!

You might find some-thing youre not expect-ing! she said.

Ugh, MOM! You werent supposed to say anything! whined Sylvia.

Really? REALLY? said Kristin. And what do you suppose would happen if he actually bit into that thing? I told you to throw those cook-ies away an hour ago!

Alright, you weirdos, what? WHAT am I not supposed to know about thats just cost us two dozen cookies? WHAT?

In keeping with the vow of silence Syl-via merely lifted her hands in the air, palms out, then dramatically turned them around to reveal a sparkling set of beautifully applied, carefully manicured fake fingernails. Nine entirely worthy of a dazzlingly beautiful Good Witch

of the North and, apparently, one worthy of

ruining an entire batch of chocolate chip cookies!

Messiah performed Dec. 6 in New Philadelphia; concert is free Selections from Han-

dels Messiah, argu-ably the most beloved choral work ever writ-ten, will be performed in a free concert Sunday afternoon, Dec. 6, by the Tuscarawas Philharmon-ic orchestra, chorus, and soloists, at First United Church of Christ in New Philadelphia.

Messiah, which for many embodies the essence of Christmas, includes two of the most-recognized cho-

ruses in music the Hallelujah chorus and For unto us a Child is born.

An organ prelude of Christmas selections will precede the 3 p.m. per-formance and the con-cert will conclude with a community carol sing featuring an outstanding arrangement of carols arranged by Eric Benja-min that has become a Philharmonic favorite tradition.

Soloists for Messiah

will include Roberta Myers, soprano; Deanna Miller Zesiger, soprano; Linda Yoder, mezzo; Elaine Finley, mezzo; Melanie Winn, soprano; Brian Johnson, bass; and Kyle Kelvington, tenor.

The church is at 201 Fair Ave. NW in New Philadelphia.

As the Philharmonics Christmas gift to the community, the concert is free and open to the public.

This is made possible in part by the generosity of Barbour Publishing Inc.; The Geib Family and Staff; BASEC Manage-ment Inc., DBA Wen-dys; AloNovus Corp.; and a bequest from the estate of the Rev. Stuart Barr.

Care and management needed around silageIt is easy to see the

importance silage plays in ruminant livestock rations by observing the number of bunker silos and silage piles on area farms. Feed-ing out that stored silage requires management.

The key point to remem-ber is that air is the enemy of silage quality. Once silage is exposed to air, quality begins to decline. Yeast begin to grow in the presence of oxygen and those yeast metabolize the lactic acid that was

formed during silage fer-mentation. That lactic acid keeps silage pH low, pre-serving silage quality. As yeast metabolize the lactic acid, silage pH begins to increase and this allows fungi and bacteria to grow, which results in silage

quality degradation. After the bunker silo or silage pile is opened up and silage starts to be used, the goal is to remove an adequate amount of silage each day from the bunker so the face of the silage remains fresh and silage quality is maintained. In general, a minimum of 8-12 inches of width should be removed from the silage face each day.

Bunker silos or silage piles that have poor face management, generally characterized by uneven and/or rough silage faces, will have a higher silage pH and higher tempera-ture at that face surface compared to the silage maybe 2-3 feet behind the

face. Higher pH and tem-perature indicate yeast activity which results in silage heating. The bunk life of this silage is decreased and dairy cattle usually eat a lesser amount of this type of silage.

The goal is to minimize the penetration of air into the new silo face as silage is removed so equipment that allows a smooth face to be maintained is pre-ferred. Silage face shavers (or defacers) and silage rakes are designed for this purpose. Digging into the face of the silage should be minimized because that usually creates a rough, uneven face with more potential for silage avalanches. If a front end

loader is used, do not dig into the pile from the bot-tom, but rather remove silage from the top down, keeping the face smooth across the entire width of the bunker silo. A smooth silage face reduces the surface area exposed to air, reduces the amount of water that may be caught and reduces the chance of a silage avalanche.

There are too many sto-ries of silage avalanches occurring just after a worker has left the silage face, or equipment hit by a silage avalanche, or worse, a person losing his life buried under a silage avalanche.

The first point in silage safety is to recognize that silage avalanches are real and there is no way to predict when and where they will occur. Although a rough or uneven silage face, or one that has been undercut, is more likely to have an avalanche, even a well-maintained, smooth silage face could have part of that face fall away. With the size of many of the bunker silos we com-monly see today on farms, those avalanches involve multiple tons of silage fall-ing. If a person is located below when that occurs, this can easily result in a fatality.

A few silage safety guidelines:

Never stand closer to the silage face than 3 times its height. When a silage ava-lanche occurs, the silage falls down and runs out, away from the silage face.

Do not fill bunker silos higher, or create silage piles higher, than your unloading equipment can reach. These are the situ-ations that most typically create overhangs when removing silage. General-ly, most unloading equip-ment can reach 12-14 feet above the silage floor.

Follow the buddy rule and never work in or near a bunker or pile alone. Suffocation is a major concern in the event of a silage avalanche and the minutes saved in a rescue attempt because of the buddy rule could mean the difference between life and death.

Use proper removal or unloading techniques. Never dig the bucket of a loader into the bottom of the silage. Do not under-cut the silage face. Shave the silage from the top down on the silage face and maintain a smooth silage face.

When collecting a silage sample for quality analy-sis, do not sample from the silage face. Collect silage in a loader bucket and sample from that

FFA members work together at officers summer retreat

On June 30 and July 1, the West Holmes FFA officer team held its officer retreat at Smith Pleasant Valley camp-grounds.

The day started off with the officers having to work together on fig-uring out a grocery list that would work for their time together. Once back from shopping the officers loaded up the vehicles and headed out to camp. Upon arrival at the site the offi-cers had to work with one another to set up the campsite.

The girls and boys had

to work as separate teams to set up their own tents without help from the other. The boys had their tent up first, and once they accomplished that they played games until it was time for lunch. After lunch the officers had to write down words that a leader should have and discussed them; they then had one on one interviews with a partner to get to know one another more personally, then talked about them out loud to the group.

They also had to blow up balloons and write down

all the extra activities on them and try to keep them all together. They then talked about how it was important to work togeth-er with one anothers extra activities, and that they have to learn how to prioritize each one. Then the officers had to work as the separate teams to start a fire for dinner, the girls had theirs done first. After dinner they went around the circle and discussed plans for the chapter and talked about the ranking of activities with the chap-

Polio study relies on help from AmishMILLERSBURG

What is more often seen as a weakness has become an asset for the Amish and the world in general.

As a large unvaccinat-ed population, Holmes County Amish are playing a critical role in a study targeted at globally eradi-cating polio, said Dr. D.J. McFadden, medical direc-tor of the Holmes County General Health District, which is coordinating local efforts.

Its really an important thing. We havent elimi-nated a major childhood disease since small pox in the 1970s, said McFad-den, noting eradication of polio was within reach until an outbreak in Nige-ria in the 1980s.

Since then, the cases of polio worldwide have fluctuated, but its down to the incidental cases and were really close, said McFadden, who said eradication is a reason-able goal.

Were down to just a few countries, he said, explaining the most affected populations are

in Nigeria, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Somalia and Syria any place where conflict breaks out. Chaos feeds on unrest. The dis-ease is very disruptive. Unrest creates unsanitary conditions (in which polio thrives).

In Pakistan, Taliban assassins have been tar-geting and killing polio public health workers.

Within my lifetime and within the next 25 years I can see an end of polio, he said.

To help achieve that goal, the Centers for Dis-ease Control has part-nered with the Bill and Melinda Gates Founda-tion and is relying on local help to develop a rapid test to determine suscep-tibility to the disease. To do that, they need a con-trol group.

Thats where the Amish come in. As a largely unvaccinated subset of the population, it is within this group that researchers hope to find five-10 people to develop a control serum by which they can measure the effectiveness of a rapid test.

Its easier said than done,

however, said McFadden, who said a recent measles outbreak in the county led to mass vaccination against all childhood dis-eases. Thats good for the communitys health, he said, but it makes the job of finding truly suscepti-ble individuals more dif-ficult than just a few years ago.

In addition to vacci-nations, individuals can become immune through natural exposure to the disease and exposure to individuals who received the live vaccine, although this has not been used in the last two decades.

It is for that reason, though, they are target-ing individuals age 18-25 who have not received the polio vaccine. Volunteers, whose vaccination records are verified, are paid $25

for a 10-cubic centimeter (about 2 teaspoons) sam-ple of blood to be ana-lyzed for susceptibility.

They anticipate need-ing 50-100 such volun-teers to get to the nec-essary five-10, who will each receive $50 for a donation of 50-100 ccs, which will be used to make the serum, which in turn can be used to calibrate rapid tests.

Existing blood tests, under optimum condi-tions, can produce results in two days, said McFad-den, noting development of a rapid test would be especially helpful in devel-oping countries, where the need to determine sus-ceptibility and adminis-

ter vaccines to an at-risk population is critical.

Just a small donation of a resource very few in the United State have, said McFadden, could impact some impoverished coun-tries. It takes something some would consider a weakness and makes it a strength to help others.

I know there are five people in Holmes County

who can make a difference in the world, he said.

ter. They also talked about what they thought was great, what they have, and what needs improvement in the chapter and in the agri-cultural science classes.

Later on at night the officers went around the campfire and answered questions that the fel-low officers had writ-ten earlier. Some of the questions talked about personal life, the FFA, and a silly question.

Before it was time to go to bed the offi-cers shared information about an item of signifi-cance they had to take to the retreat.

The next morning members got up, had breakfast, and started

to pack up camp. They headed back up to the high school to finish their time together for the day.

There at the high school the officers talk-ed about each office and what it entailed;

(From Page 11)

FFA they wrote down words or jobs they had during their year as an officer and what it really meant to be one.

They then discussed ideas for the FFA barn and T-shirt/polo ideas before they went to

Bags Sport Pub for lunch. There they met up with Sam Collett to talk about the T-shirt and polo ideas. After lunch they went back to the high school to talk about the years calen-dar.

FFA meeting held at Acres of FunWest Holmes FFA held

its September meeting, as usual, at Acres of Fun.

The meeting was brought to order by President Jason Jenkins and previous minutes were read by Secretary Paige Miller.

Opening ceremonies

were held and offi-cer reports were given. Committees joined in to discuss upcoming events and motions were made by members.

The meeting was adjourned and the mem-bers were allotted time to participate in Acres of Fun activities.

Clark students add new habits of happiness

W. HOLMES DIS-TRICT Attendees of the West Holmes board meeting Monday were exposed to some of the new habits the students at Clark Elementary School are implementing into their daily routine.

Students greeted guests upon entering the build-ing, thanking them for coming with a handshake.

Wed like to share with you some of the great things that are going on in the district, said West Holmes Superintendent Bill Sterling. They are excited to present to you what exactly it is that they are doing with leader-ship.

Principal Diana McMil-len introduced a small skit the students put together to demonstrate how a typ-ical school day begins.

We have some new things happening this year at Clark that the stu-dents would like to share, McMillen said. Teach-ers did a book study this past summer over the seven habits, called The leader in Me and thats the program were look-ing at doing. Its based on the seven habits of highly effective people, but the kids version is Seven Habits of Happy Kids.

It focuses on leadership and helps students real-ize they are all leaders in one capacity or another, helping them realize their strengths and their gifts,

McMillen said. We start-ed working on giving the building a face-lift, cre-ating a friendly environ-ment, something we keep adding to.

McMillen explained this is a process and they began introducing the seven habits at the begin-ning of the school year and will continue imple-menting them over the next three-four years.

As time goes on, were going to keep adding what were doing, the principal added. We have finished two habits so far.

The first habit was to be proactive. Students can achieve this by tak-ing initiative and man-aging change. Respond proactively and keep commitments. Students

are encouraged to take responsibility and practice accountability, and create positive results.

The second habit is to begin with the end in mind. Students are encouraged to define vision and values, create a personal mission state-ment and set measurable team and personal goals. Start projects successfully and align goals to priori-ties and focus on desired outcomes.

One big thing is, if you talk to students here at Clark, theyre going to say what were learning is new, McMillen said. Theyre pretty excited about it and its a good way to get things started. It gets us going on a posi-tive note and they get to

spend some time togeth-er here in the gym every morning. The leadership team wanted to show you what a typical morning looks like.

Kids meet and mingle in the gym, where they can dance, visit with friends. Their mission statement is: Clark Elementary is developing young minds into leaders one child at a time.

The school motto is: Kids lead; never stop learn-ing. Inviting environment, goal sets, high achiev-ers, together we succeed. Show respect always. Go Knights.

Third- and fourth-grade teacher Erica Camacho shared her input on the habits as well.

Being a new teacher

and new parent in this district, my two boys were very leery about com-ing to a new school, she said. The morning meet-ing has been amazing for them. Not only does it give them an opportunity to hang out with class-mates, we have kids who go around giving each other high fives and hugs. They tell them to have a great day. The days start with everybody in a good mood. They might have had a bad morning, but that 10 minutes gathered here as a family has been really awesome to experi-ence.

New intervention specialist hired for E. Holmes district

E. HOLMES DISTRICT With the employment of a new part-time inter-vention specialist tutor, the district is looking to make special education services more accessible for students and families.

The Board of Educa-tion on Monday approved employment of Katelyn Thut, who will start imme-diately providing servic-es to students at Mount Hope and Winesburg ele-mentary schools.

Special needs students from those schools cur-rently are bused to other

buildings in the district. They will remain there for now, while Thut starts working with newly iden-tified students in need of extra help, according to interim Superintendent Jon Ritchie.

The district will review in the spring whether the position will be made

a full-time job as they work to return displaced students to their home schools.

They are comfortable in their home schools. They get to stay with their brothers and sister, and this will cut down on travel time, said Ritchie, noting eventually this will

reduce the special educa-tion case load at the other buildings.

Were trying to con-tinue doing a quality job serving all the students in our district, Ritchie said.

The next meeting of the East Holmes Board of Education is scheduled for Dec. 21 at 7:30 a.m.

The Jan. 8 regular meet-ing will be preceded by a 7:30 a.m. organization meeting and tax budget hearing.
