Volume 1, Number 15 Shining a Positive Light on Coshocton County November 26- December 9, 2008

Okay guys, this is NOT the cover of “Rolling Stone”, but it is the best The Beacon can do for you! Pictured are Jesse and Adam Fischer along with Bob Knicely doing an “unrehearsed” version of “The cover of Rolling Stone”, a parody of the rock ‘n roll life made popular by Dr. Hook & The Medicine Show in 1972. Just in case you are wondering, those guys DID make the cover of “Rolling Stone” five months after the song came out.

E!

“Dazed” and Delighted!

Surprise! The “late” Mrs. Ellen Conkle surprises Toni Lee Mercer during the Warsaw Lions Club Minstrel Show. It seemed that this particular dear departed person had met their demise with a bad pork-chop. Okay, now I am dazed and confused – pork-chops, corn-cobs, choo-choos, Interlocutor – wow. (Beacon photos by Mark Fortune)

That’s exactly how the capacity crowd responded to the 51st annual Warsaw Lions Club Minstrel Show, held at River View High School this past Friday, Saturday and Sunday. With names like “Pork Chop”, “Dig-

ger”, Corn Cob”, “Bones”, “Choo-Choo”, “Da-Coach”, Popbottle”and ‘Crazyhorse”, the End Men combined with Interlocutor Jim Bartlett (hey, I re-member that word – it tripped me up in a spelling bee once!), and Jean Haum-

schild directing, the 51st performance of the Minstrel Show had the crowd laughing and whooping it up through-out the evening. Remembering back with fondness to the school “daze” of years gone by, the chorus, one liners

and solo performances were certainly another indication that our community is blessed with lots of talent. It was a lot of laughs at a time when laughs are much needed.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Our community has been blessed during the past few weeks with an abundance of events that have in-spired, encouraged, gener-ated laughter and brought us closer together. I re-marked to a couple of busi-ness associates during the past week that our com-munity seems to be work-ing more closely together than ever before. This is obviously a positive thing in light of the economic challenges we face. By working with each other, supporting each other and contributing to the needs of others, we can bring our area back. While it may not be with large industry – it will more likely be through

smaller, locally owned businesses – Coshocton County can once again move forward, taking our rightful place in the “new economic engine” that will drive our country towards growth. The upcoming deer hunting season will bring a fl ood of pick-up trucks and a sea of orange to our area – and also a lot of green. As in dollars. Did you know that the Wood-bury Wildlife Area in our county is the largest in the state? An article in this week’s Beacon written by Ginger Reiss discusses the economic impact of hunt-ing to our county. Let’s welcome these hunters with open arms so they will return and tell their friends about Coshocton County. I repeatedly comment that these are the folks that could someday bring jobs to our area – someone that has been treated kindly by a restaurant staffer or local businessperson – they will remember a kind gesture that may someday result in a new business being lo-cated here. The Deal or Not a Deal contest and the Warsaw Lions Club Minstrel Show

both generated a lot of laughs for their respective audiences and the monies raised at both will go to-wards worthy causes and efforts. We do have some work to do – the Salvation Army, New Life Minis-tries, United Way, Nel-lie Food Bank and many other worthy organizations need our help during the upcoming holiday season. But they will need our help beyond the Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s observances, to ensure they can continue provid-ing services throughout the cold winter months of Jan-uary, February and on into March. So w encourage you to give what you can to the charity or organization of your choice – you really can’t go wrong here.Mainly, take time to be thankful during this Thanksgiving Week – there are so many in this world that do not have a fraction of what we have available in America. Despite our challenges, the doom and gloom of the mass media (are you tired of the Wall Street pundits talking about “market dives”, “steep de-clines” and using just about

every other negative word they can muster up?) The market has ALREADY tanked and moving up or down a couple of hundred points each day right now is NOT a steep decline or a huge gain. That already happened. Let’s get it right people. And we all know that the market will come back.So, despite all that we face, we still live in the great-est country in the world, a country that is FREE, and a country where you can just about become any-thing you set your mind to. . . yet, sometimes you have to lose what you have in order to muster the cour-age and faith to grab a hold of something new. But that is exactly WHY this is the greatest country in the world. Because you can do just that.

Anne Cornell recently attended the ground breaking sympo-sium Re-imagining Cities: Ur-ban Design After The Age Of Oil. Cornell was awarded a Fast Track Funding for Artists grant through the Ohio Arts Coun-cil’s Appalachian Arts Program to attend the symposium. The award was based on her 2007 work through the Pomerene Center for the Arts with co-artist Steven Matthew Brown and a cross section of the com-munity. The [COSHOCTON] project mobilized individuals, organizations and businesses to share ideas, energies, intentions and dreams in the open Park Hotel lot.The Re-imagining Cities sym-posium, held Nov. 6-8 at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, brought together architects, city planners, artists and scientists to address con-ceptual, design, developmental, and management challenges facing urban environments in the 21st century. As an artist increasingly com-mitted to creating art with the community on projects integrat-ed in the community, Cornell was eager to learn how these 21st century challenges are be-ing viewed and met in large en-vironments. Upon returning from the semi-nar in Philadelphia, Cornell has

noted fi ve major design trends she expects will be applicable in the smaller environment which exists in Coshocton County. These trends are; (1) Landscape as a productive rather than just an ornamental design – we should demand performance and usefulness from our landscapes. (2) Landscape as a part of place, rather than a place apart. (3) The design process can serve as an integrating, community build-ing force. (4) Inspiring com-munity imagination to achieve something fundamental and (5) Understanding that beauty moves us!

If you attended the first of what many hope will become an annual event at Ridge-wood High School on Tuesday, November 11, you know what the headline is talking about. If you were not able to attend, the headline refers to the Home Loan Savings Bank “squirrel” mascot walking away with the cupcakes and leaving a can of nuts for one of the contestants. Attendees were not only treated to an evening filled with laughter, enthu-siasm and community spirit, but were also able to see the still fairly new Ridgewood High School and audito-rium. Based on the popular game show, the event was sponsored by The Coshoc-ton Port Authority and The Coshocton County Chamber of Commerce as a means of raising funds for the Port Authority’s Community Economic Development Fund which is being held at the Coshocton Founda-tion. Tickets were sold in advance or at the door and three separate segments of the game were played – with three local banks as major sponsors; The Home Loan Savings Bank, National City Bank and Century National Bank. Emcee Casey Claxon entertained the near capacity crowd throughout the night – with his own version of Howie Mandel of the television show fame. Slightly over $5,000 was raised for the fund through the generosity of people in our community – who came together to

support this event in every way possible. Local finan-cial institutions, media, pizza establishments, high schools, and community or-ganizations worked together with a volunteer commit-tee to bring this project to fruition. Students from the three area high schools were the “pizza box mod-els”, oftentimes standing for nearly an hour as the con-testant worked through the various amounts of monies left on the big board. You could feel the tension mount throughout the auditorium as each contestant weighed the various outcomes of the

evening. The bankers played their role with enthusiasm and vigor – crunching the num-bers to offer each contestant an amount of money based on how many pizza boxes re-mained on the board.The pizza boxes were graciously donated by three area pizzerias; Amici’s Pizza, Crowtown Pizza and Papa John’s Pizza. Door prizes were donated by several area

businesses, including Ohio Heritage Bank, who contributed an amount that purchased a bicycle and safety helmet from Auer Ace Hardware. Other prize sponsors were; Co-shocton Village Inn & Suites, Frontier Pro-pane, Kids America, KRASCO Printing, Pizza Hut, Auer Ace Hardware, Raven’s Glenn Winery and Wal-Mart. This event was filled with local businesses coming together to help our community. As

we have stated before in the pages of The Beacon, we can only help ourselves through these challenging times and by working together we will accomplish more than if we try to go it alone. This event set the stage for future events that see businesses and or-ganizations work together – even though many of them compete for the same dollars – realizing that a rising tide truly does lift all boats.The folks at Ridgewood High School, Ridgewood High School cheerlead-ers and boosters for a great food stand, The Chamber

of Commerce, Port Au-thority, Novelty Advertis-ing (who contributed much to the event in the way of marketing materials), the banks, Casey Claxon, Billy Wilson, Nate & Chris Mc-Neal, Doug Speicher, John Lindig, Michael Ondayko, Trent Adams and Ridge-wood Music and Drama Department, Kirby Hasse-man, show directors Amy Hasseman and Heather Ames Guess, businesses that donated the prizes, the committee members, me-dia partners; The Coshoc-ton Tribune, Coshocton County Advertiser, WTNS Radio, Time Warner Cable, The Coshocton County Beacon, Hasseman Marketing, Simple Signs, The Novelty Ad-vertising Company, pizza companies, and of course, the students and participants that played a fun role throughout the evening,

and those that purchased tickets to help fund the event all can be proud of their ef-forts in helping move our community for-ward one step at a time. Hey, has anyone seen a can of nuts?

Squirrel Takes Cupcakes; Leaves Can of Nuts at Deal or Not a Deal!

Karysa Kent, daughter of Rick and Leisa Kent, expresses surprise upon opening her pizza box at the Deal or Not a Deal contest. Kent is a stu-dent at River View High School. Each of the three area high schools had students participate in the contest as “pizza box models”.

Emcee Casey Claxon looks at an offer from Rebecca Porteus of Century National Bank as Amy Hasseman and Heather Ames Guess look on. Hasseman and Guess directed the show. Coshocton County Chamber of Commerce Director Carol Remington and Port Authority Executive Director T. J. Justice combined the efforts of both organizations and worked with a volunteer committee to bring this contest to our area.

Members of the commit-tee, co-chairs Bob Nich-olson and Kim Gress, and American Cancer Society staff recently held the kick-off for the 2009 Coshocton County Relay for Life event at the Towne Centre Civic Hall. The 2009 Relay will mark the 25th year of the event – 2008 Chair and this year’s co-chair Bob Nich-olson exclaimed that, “It’s been a privilege to serve

this community . . . in this role”. Nicholson went on to explain that one of the keys for Relay is that “I want to be pro-active in helping fund research to cure this disease”. Guest speaker Sarah Ann Jenkins – survi-vor chair for the 2009 Relay for Life – stated that she is a three time cancer survivor and that she is “very grate-ful to be here”. She said that her husband is her “support

and my lifeline”. Bob Nich-olson said that “the survi-vors are the reason for the energy at Relay. There are now over 10 million cancer survivors each year – sur-vivors need to know that we’re fighting for you!”Kim Gress, co-chair with Nicholson of this year’s up-coming Relay had the hon-or of introducing a woman that she called “Superwom-an” – that would be previ-ous year’s Relay chair, Laurie Stephan. Stephan is this year’s team recruitment chair and spoke about how much cancer has affected her family and why the Relay for Life is important to her. If you know Laurie Stephan, you also know that there is huge amount of en-ergy packed into this small lady – and she eats, sleeps and breathes the Relay for Life.

Relay for Life Fund raiser for Team Coshocton Hos-pital will be Saturday De-cember 6th from 9am to 5pm, Schwan man Dave will be at the Downtowner Plaza to help Team Co-

shocton Hospital raise funds for Relay for Life, with a portion of all sales to benefit Relay for Life. Please come out and help support Relay for Life! Any questions please call

Coshocton Port Authority Director T. J. Justice responds to a wisecrack from contest emcee Casey Claxon (off camera) as he pedals a bicycle purchased at Auer Ace Hardware by Ohio Heritage Bank for the Deal or Not a Deal contest. Justice is working the current contestant, Wilma Hunt, hard as he encour-ages her to take the bicycle instead of continuing play in the game. Hunt kept going and if my memory serves correctly, eventually ended up with some cupcakes that were later devoured by students from Ridgewood!

Contest Emcee Casey Claxon is “works” with The Home Loan Savings Bank squirrel along with lender Sherlynn Smith as they crunch the numbers for one of the contestants.

Christmas Candlelightings in Historic Roscoe VillageVisitors to Historic Roscoe Village will experience an old-fashioned Christmas in this restored canal town dur-ing our annual Christmas Candlelighting Ceremonies on December 6, 13 and 20, 2008. A favorite among guests and locals alike, the candlelightings begin at 6pm each Saturday evening. During the ceremony, tra-ditional carols are sung by guest choirs, and the read-ing of a cherished Christ-

mas story compliments the dramatic lighting of the 35-foot Village Christmas Tree. Share in the tradition of lighting your own candle as the Honorary Candle-lighter passes the flame to the crowd during the sing-ing of “Silent Night.” Holiday activities taking place on the Satur-days of Christmas Candle-lightings include art with Santa Claus from 12N to 2pm on all three candle-

lightings, horse-drawn sur-rey rides and a live reindeer exhibit from 3pm-6pm at the Visitor Center on December 13th. Enjoy warm roasted chestnuts, hot-mulled cider and cookies as you delight in the live Christmas music throughout the Village.In addition, “A Roscoe Christmas” tour of the liv-ing history buildings, takes place on a leisure basis from 10am to 5pm and as a guided tour at 7pm each

Saturday. Cost of the tour is $9.95 for adults and $4.95 for students. Discover the evolution of the Christmas card as you print your own Christmas bookmark, be entertained with Canal Era toys while creating a toy of your own as a Roscoe Vil-lage keepsake and sample a few Christmas treats while you learn about the 1800s Christmas decorations.

Visitors to the Emmanuel Lutheran Church in Co-shocton on December 5th and 6th will get to step back into the biblical era when they venture into A Night in Bethlehem. The

free event will take place from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. each evening. This is the second year for the church to cre-ate this special holiday mar-ketplace.Bob Brems, Sr. is the chair of A Night in Beth-lehem com-mittee at the Emmanuel Lu-theran Church. “We recreate a biblical-era marketplace in the auditorium of the church,” e x p l a i n e d Brems. “We use canvas,

tarps and bales of hay to make the setting look re-alistic, and visitors can in-teract with costumed shop-keepers and townsfolk. We also set up a manger scene.”

Brems says the market-place is perfect for children and adults. “We have many marketplace shops, several where kids can do some kind of hands-on activity,” continued Brems. “We have a dye shop, a perfum-ery, a food market, a sandal shop, a toy shop, mosaics and a stand where kids can make a small flute. Chil-dren will also get wooden figures to take home and set up as their own manger scene.”Judy Maxwell is handling staffing and costuming for the marketplace characters. Don Hawthorne oversees the set building, and Tim Marshal leads publicity. Brems says the Emmanuel Lutheran Church invites everyone in the area to at-tend A Night in Bethlehem on the 5th and 6th. Passage through the village should take 15-30 minutes. The church is located at 1500 Pleasant Valley Drive and has plenty of parking.“We had a lot of positive

comments after the event last year,” said Brems. “It’s a good way to get the holiday season started. We like to offer this event to the community in an effort to keep Christ in Christ-mas.”

Santa Says “Go Green & $ave This Christmas...”

603 Main Street

Santa Arrives in Coshocton!Santa Claus arrived in style on Friday evening riding in the bucket of a Coshocton Fire Depart-ment pumper. Making his annual debut at the end of the Miracle on Main Street parade, Santa Claus was then escorted to the Civic Hall where he greeted dozens of area youngsters and heard their requests for Christmas. Pictured is Kobe Rust, son of Jeff and Rachel Rust. Kobe told us when questioned about what he wanted Santa to bring him this year that he wished Santa a ‘Merry Christmas”. (Beacon photo by Mark Fortune)

As the holiday season ap-proaches, our thoughts turn to the special loved ones in our lives who are no longer with us. This year, Health Services of Coshocton’s Hospice Division will again be providing a way to remember those loved ones, or recognize a special person in our lives, through the Commu-nity Remembrance Tree in the court square gazebo. Kenneth and Joann Scheetz, of Scheetz Christmas Tree Farm have again donated the live 15-

foot white pine tree in memory of Kenneth’s brother, Merle Scheetz. Health Services of Coshoc-ton will be placing ornaments on the tree for each loved one being remembered or honored. The Community Remem-brance Tree will initially be lit Friday, November 21st at 6:00 p.m. in conjunction with Miracle on Main, and then will be lit nightly at 5:00 p.m. thru January 5th, 2009. Anyone may participate in

this annual holiday event by completing a card, which can be found at area pharmacies, or by contacting the Health Services of Coshocton office at 740-622-7311. Donations are not required to have an orna-ment placed on the Community Remembrance Tree, but are ap-preciated.

Please feel free to contact Health Services of Coshoc-ton’s Hospice Division at 740-622-7311.

Community Remembrance Tree to Light Up for Memories

The Community Remembrance Tree once again adds its beauty and peacefulness to the Gazebo lo-cated on the Courtsquare in Coshocton. Pictured left to right are; Barb Wilson, who is a volunteer with Hospice, Rick Hudson, who is the spouse of a Health Services of Coshocton County employee and Bob Bish, a Hospice volunteer. The tree will be at the gazebo until January 5th. A special thanks goes to Tom Edwards of Auer Ace Hardware for the use of the ladder! (Beacon photo by Mark Fortune)

Readers Respond

In the 1800’s, an English Statesman named Lord Palmerston was quoted for saying, “The best thing for the inside of a person is the outside of a horse”. Tom and Peggy Roahrig know the truth of Palmerston’s words and in 1998, created the Higher Hopes Thera-peutic Riding Center on County Road 17. The Cen-ter is a recognized 501(3)(c) non-profit organization that offers Equine Assisted Therapy to help individuals with dis-abilities and difficulties.

The idea of the center be-gan in 1985, when the Roahrigs were operating riding stables at Lake Park. A young girl in a wheel-chair was scared and cry-ing. Eventually she gained courage to take a pony ride, then wanted to go time and again. Retelling the story, Tom said, “Two hours lat-er, the girl is still crying, but this time because she didn’t want to leave. We had to walk every pony over to her so she could give them each a kiss before she left.” He realized the powerful impact these ponies had on this girl after two hours and wondered what kind of dif-ference could result from long-term interaction.

After research, the Roahrigs applied for 501 non-profit status, which was refused. It was the mid-1980s. The benefits of Equine Assisted Therapy had not yet been proven, but the Roahrigs believed in their vision and began a program in their yard. By 1997, animal as-sisted therapies were more

mainstream, and the Roah-rigs successfully reapplied for 501 status.

Over the past eleven years, Higher Hopes’ growth has been gradual - just the way the Roahrigs envisioned. They feel it is important to keep a personal touch and do this by limiting class size to seven. The staff gets to know the participants and monitors their prog-ress, introducing the next activity when appropriate. All activities are designed to continually improve eye-hand coordination, posture, language skills, balance, and muscle con-trol. It also teaches group participation, social skills, and requires following di-rections. As individuals advance through the pro-gram, their responsibilities increase, from grooming and saddling their horse to mounting and dismounting without assistance.

Classes last one hour. Par-ticipants arrive, prepare their horse and take him/her to the arena. During the first fifteen minutes, they walk their horses and greet everyone. Next, all gather in the center for exercises designed to increase the participants’ range of mo-tion and flexibility. Once the warm-up activities are completed, riding exercises strategically designed to strengthen muscles as well as improve coordination, balance, and concentra-tion begin. This includes weaving through barrels, placing rings over cones as they ride by, bean bag toss, etc. Through the program,

participants not only gain physical strength but also independence and self-con-fidence, which brings about positive attitudes.

Higher Hopes is a tremen-dous resource that benefits those with development de-lays, Attention Deficit Dis-order, Learning/Language Disability, Autism, Downs Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy, Spina Bifida, Multiple Scle-rosis, Brain Injury, and Bra-chial Plexus Injury. Their therapeutic treatments im-proves emotional well-be-ing and can also help with those who are withdrawn or dealing with loss. Higher Hopes welcomed 350 rid-ers last year, ranging in age from 6 to 56. Full-time participants come from Co-shocton, Knox, Musking-um, and Licking Counties. Hopewell contracted 1000 hours with Higher Hopes and proposed a trial with River View Special Educa-tion, having seen improve-ment in their program par-ticipants. Roahrig said, “We will work with anyone we can,” and welcomes new participants. Interested per-sons are requested to call to make special arrangements (Phone: 824-4183).

Those interested in mak-ing monetary, material,

or time contributions to Higher Hopes can click on the “How Can I Help?” link of the webpage (www.higherhopes.org). Saturday, December 13, the com-munity is encouraged to attend the 6th Annual Ac-tion organized by the River View FFA at RVHS caf-eteria. All proceeds go to Higher Hopes, whose arena has prevented all weather from interrupting riding sessions - except the cold. Doors for the event open at 4 PM. The action begins at 5 PM. Some of the items to be auctioned include a cowboy hat autographed by Tracy Lawrence & Char-lie Daniels, Confederate Railroad Items, Gift Cer-tificates, FFA Fruit & Nuts, and a Charlie Daniels Fan Package (show tickets and an invite to meet Charlie Daniels, included). There will also be over $30,000 of Tack to be auctioned, 50/50 Drawings, Door Prizes, Cash Raffle, Saddle Give Away and Concessions.

The Roahrigs are grateful to their students, volun-teers, donors, board mem-bers and instructors, to the RV FFA for believing in Higher Hopes mission, and to the community members and organizations who have made donations for the De-cember 13th Auction.

The Triple Locks Footlight Players will be present-ing “Christmas Belles” on two weekends in December. “Christmas Belles” was written by Jessie Jones, Nicholas Hope and Jamie Wooten. The play is directed by Susan Gordon, produced by Cathy Cosmar and based in Fayro, Texas, for the holiday season and the an-nual Tabernacle of the Lamb Christmas pageant, hosted by the “Christmas Belles”. The Futrelle sisters – Frankie, Twink and Honey Raye – are not exactly in a festive mood, however. A cranky Frankie is

weeks overdue with her sec-ond set of twins; Twink is in trouble with the law; and hot-flash-suffering Honey Raye is desperately trying to keep the Christmas Program from spiraling into chaos. Miss Ge-neva, the ousted director of the previous twenty-seven produc-tions, is attempting to take over the show; Frankie’s husband Dub is passing a kidney stone and Frankie lets slip a family secret that has been guarded for decades. But in true Futrella fashion, the feuding sisters find a way to pull together in order to present a Christmas program

the citizens of Fayo will never forget. The Footlight Players are inviting the community to join Frank Ackerman, Andrew Duffy, Sarah Fornara, Caroline Heading, Shelly Lillibridge, Sheila Mayse, Richard McKin-ley, Glenn Mishler, Jackie Mishler, Donna Prince and Norma Owens for what may be the “Most Hilarious Christmas Pageant Ever.”“Christmas Belles” will run on only two weekends and will open on Thursday, December 4, with a 6:00 to 6:30 p.m. recep-tion sponsored by “Uncorked”. Because of work and school schedules, the Thursday, De-cember 4 and 11 curtain times are 7:00 p.m. The Friday and Saturday, December 5, 6, 12 and 13 curtain times will still be at 8:00 p.m. Please call early to reserve your seats. Call 740-622-2959 from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. Mon-day through Thursday; and 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. on production days, beginning Monday, November 17th. Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for children high school age and younger.

The Crouso family recently returned from an unforgetta-ble return trip to India. Lena and Kendall Crouso and two of their children, Chloe age 15 and Addie age 9, along with Donna Hardesty all from Coshocton County spent nearly three weeks touring the country. They were sponsored by the Co-shocton Nazarene Church and several other individu-als who helped fund the ex-pedition.“It was a chance for us to re-connect with the same mis-sion workers we visited with in 2004,” said Lena. “ This return trip to India was con-firmation for me that God’s church is worldwide.”The group ventured into all four regions of India, be-ginning in Mumbai (also known as Bombay). “India has been trying to convert back to their traditional city names prior to when the English names were estab-lished,” explained Lena.They then flew to Aurang-abad and then endured a four-hour jeep ride to the small village of Washin.

“That is where Reynolds Memorial Hospital is locat-ed,” said Lena. “That hospi-tal is the ministry site where we spent our time in 2004. We were able to visit with many of the same nurses there and see the upgrades the hospital has made. They now have their nursing school completed.”The Reynolds Memorial Hospital is the only mis-sions hospital in the area that treats the whole person both physically and spiritually. The hospital was started by the Church of the Nazarene Worldwide several years ago. On behalf of Women Of Witness, the organiza-tion Lena founded ten years ago in Coshocton, Lena presented a scholarship to a female nursing student at the hospital’s school. “The $1,000 scholarship was giv-en in memory of a former Women Of Witness execu-tive director, Sheila Guil-liams,” said Lena. The group witnessed that the caste system was still practiced among the people of that country, even though

it was abolished by the gov-ernment. “The women of the higher caste society are the ones allowed to be edu-cated and have jobs,” Lena explained. “That just keeps the poor in poverty.”“The Reynold’s Nursing School is for those women of the lower caste of soci-ety,” said Lena. “This nurs-ing degree will help them to rise out of their current status and not be shunned quite as much. This scholarship will allow Indian nursing stu-dent, Ms. Chetana Meshram to complete her education and receive her degree.”Lena says that the hospital’s burn unit was also com-pleted thanks to gifts from the Coshocton Nazarene Church. A burn unit is im-portant to have in India be-cause women there are pur-posely burned as a form of punishment. “They are pun-ished with burning for many reasons such as giving birth to a girl instead of a boy,” Lena explained. “Women also feel so unworthy in that society that they try to commit suicide by burning themselves.”“For us as outsiders going into that culture we had to be careful to not go in with a sense of feminism. We had to go in with love and help the women see that their life does have a purpose.”Something the group from Coshocton was blessed to do was deliver several baby blankets and simple little toys to the hospital. Baby blankets are very important to the Hindu culture be-cause for the first five days an infant is not to have any woven clothing or material next to their skin. “Many of

these babies die during that time due to hyperthermia,” stated Lena. “The blankets we took them were a mate-rial they could use during those first five days.”Lena says they plan to re-turn to India. Kayla Crouso wants to return in the near future to learn more about the empowerment of the Indian women.

‘Children of Heaven’ is the theme of the Coshocton Community Choir’s Festival Christmas Concert on Sunday, December 7, at 3:00 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Over 200 mu-sicians from throughout central Ohio will be performing at Coshocton High School’s McKinley Auditorium. Musical selections during the 90-minute concert span the cen-turies as the choirs, under the direction of Charles R. Snyder, perform a mix of sacred and secular choral music. Tickets are $8 for adults and $5 for students. Snyder was purposeful in selecting the theme for this year’s concert. “”The gift of

the holy child on that first Christmas was for all of us,” said Snyder. “It is good for us to remember that we are all ‘Children of God’.” The musical selections will all cen-ter around that theme. The concert will include settings of some fa-miliar carols such as Silent Night; Still, Still, Still; What Child is This?; O Holy Night and other carols the audience will be invited to sing with the choirs. The concert features the 100-voice adult choir, the Coshocton Chil-dren’s Choir, the Coshocton Youth Chorale, the Roscoe Brass Ensemble and piano ac-companists Dickie Barrick and Mark Wag-

ner. Other musicians include Heather Smith on Flute, Debby Jones playing Oboe, Leslie Dawson on bassoon and Micah Hudson on percussion. Gordon Kendall and Marialice Mauch will read a Christmas narration, writ-ten by Allan Zagray, throughout the musical selections. Columbus artist Tom Kulewicz designed the concert logo artwork. Ridge-wood art students and their teacher, Jeff Gill, create the set. All three choirs were founded and are con-ducted by Charles R. Snyder, who is highly respected throughout the state. He is also the conductor of the 200-voice All-Ohio

Youth Choir that performs each year at the Ohio State Fair. The Coshocton Community Choir is now is it 38th season, and has com-missioned several arrangements from well-known composers. Tickets for the ‘Children of Heaven’ Festi-val Concert are $8 for adults and $5 for stu-dents and are available at the door or by call-ing Business Manager, Lee Bown at (740) 622-3960. Tickets are also available from these outlets: Liberty Lady in Roscoe Vil-lage; Good News Bookstore, Buehlers, and Marilyn’s Natural Foods in Coshocton; and Baker’s Foods in Newcomerstown.

The Coshocton Alliance Church, located just west of Coshocton on State Route 541, held a commu-nity thanksgiving dinner on Saturday, November 15th complete with turkey and all the trimmings. Pas-tor Mike Bilsza shared the church’s purpose for the dinner. “God has given us a tremendous love for the community. We are feel-ing the pain and wonder if many people are going to have a Thanksgiving. We are called to be a family to those that don’t have fam-

ily – and we are also called to be disciple’s everyday of our life. If you could see Christ in your circum-stances – wouldn’t that be great – hopefully efforts like this in the community give those in need a sense of assurance and peace. I believe that Jesus is actual-ly reaching people through us.” The Coshocton Al-liance Church volunteers prepared and served the food and also delivered meals to people that called and could not get to the church.

The Grace United Methodist Church held their annual bazaar on Friday, November 14th serving up homemade goodies and even had a secret “pie-cutting” room. Yes, this is where the pies were sliced! This was in addition to the singing of “Pooch” Blackson as he greeted customers at the slightly improvised “checkout”. Proceeds from the 2007 Grace UMC bazaar went to various community organizations; Grace

Church Local Outreach, Habitat for Hu-manity, Coshocton County Alternative School, Shepherds Assembly on Main Street, Grace Church Camp Scholarships, Salvation Army, First Step, Side by Side Mentoring Program, Berea Children’s Home and Women of Witness.

Coshocton County's Richard Downing Airport is taking a proactive step toward fur-thering the economic growth of the county. Plans are un-derway to extend the runway to 5,000 feet. This extension, along with the first-class air-port terminal building that was constructed a few years

ago, will allow Coshocton to accommodate a much greater amount of corporate air traf-fic. The Federal Aviation Ad-ministration (FAA) proce-dures for determining runway length requirements indicate that a 4,400-foot runway is sufficient for small business aircraft. The FAA will there-fore assist in funding a run-way extension at the Richard Downing Airport to the 4,400 feet. The existing runway is 4,099 feet long. In reality, insurance com-panies for corporate aircraft require a 5,000-foot runway. Therefore, the Coshocton County Regional Airport Au-thority (CCRAA) along with the Coshocton County Com-missioners have determined that the runway extension needs to be 5,000 feet and have made this a key priority to position Coshocton County at the forefront of the compe-tition for business and eco-nomic development. Don Yager, of Yager Con-sultants, Inc., has been in-volved with the Richard Downing Airport since 1975 as an airport planning and en-gineering consultant. He was instrumental in recently con-ducting an airport master plan study. Surveys were made of area business users of the airport. "The results showed that several businesses that use the airport are restricted by the current runway length in terms of cargo weight, pas-sengers, plane size and fuel on board," explained Yager. "Other businesses are unable to fly into Richard Downing Airport at all and must instead fly into Zanesville Municipal Airport and drive to Coshoc-ton because Zanesville has

two 5,000-foot runways." "The result is that Richard Downing Airport is losing fuel sales revenue which is their major source of operat-ing revenue," continued Yag-er, "and Coshocton County is not reaping the maximum benefit of the airport as an eco-nomic development asset." Dave Wiley of Wiley Or-ganics agreed that an extend-ed runway would be a posi-tive addition to the county in terms of economic growth. "Anyone looking at Coshoc-ton as a potential site for a new company wants to be able to fly into the local air-port," said Wiley. "The logis-tics of people getting in and out of the county to manage these large manufacturing fa-cilities is critical. They want to be able to fly in and out of the local airport. It can be a big inconvenience on them to come to Coshocton since they have to fly into an airport from a distance away." Wiley says his company has several clients who would like to fly into Coshocton Airport in their corporate jets if the runway were extended. "Our customers want to come here to visit and they want to know how easy it is to get here," Wiley added. "Once they get here they see that Coshocton is great. It would also be a big help to the county if cor-porate visitors could fly into Coshocton Airport and then they could stay overnight in our lodging facilities."Yager discussed a study that was conducted by the State of Ohio in 2006 to determine the total economic impact of the 98 non-commercial public-owned airports in Ohio to their respective communi-ties. "This study concluded

that Richard Downing Air-port contributes more than 21 million dollars per year to the local economy," stated Yager. "It was ranked tenth in the state. While this is very impressive, the economic im-pact would no doubt increase dramatically with a longer runway that would accom-modate significantly more corporate activity."According to the Coshoc-ton County Regional Airport Authority Board President, Dr. Jerold Meyer, the cost to complete the runway exten-sion to 5,000 feet is estimated at $900,000. "The FAA will fund half of this cost," said Meyer. "Locally, we need to come up with $450,000. Money raised from the past three Air Shows will be used toward this goal. The Co-shocton County Commis-sioners and Port Authority Director, T.J. Justice, have also applied to OMEGA for a $200,000 grant for this proj-ect. We need to come up with matching funds locally to be eligible for that grant." Construction on the runway extension is planned for 2010. Any donations made to the Runway Extension Project are tax deductible since the Richard Downing Airport is a government-owned entity. Make donations to the Rich-ard Downing Airport Run-way Extension Project, 24569 Airport Road, Coshocton, by December 31, for the tax ad-vantage in 2008.

Six Hundred Feet Moves Coshocton Far Up the Economic Ladder

Karen Russell recently held a healthy cooking class at the Courtsquare Café in Towne Centre, Coshocton, to show participants that it just takes a small dose of extra effort to cook – and enjoy - healthy meals. The fragrant smells of delicious, healthy food filled The Courtsquare Café as Rus-sell explained to the partakers that “I’m here to help people”. She went on to explain through-out the preparation for people to, “cut out aspertane and all artificial sweeteners”. Choos-ing the right foods will allow the body to get the sugars that it needs – noting that the normal American diet today is loaded with sugars. One of the more interesting fruits that Russell discussed was the agave nectar – which is a 100% pure sweet-ener and comes from the cactus plant. Russell explained that she was inspired to get into more healthy cooking and eating as a way of life due to her own health background. “My passion is helping people feel better and stay better!” said Russell. Explaining that packaged foods are not good for the diet be-cause they are loaded with vari-ous combinations of sodium, starches, fats and sugars, Rus-sell also stated that, “our body is bombarded by pesticides, etc.” Organic food tastes better and is certainly more healthy for you

– be sure to check the labels to see if the organic food you are buying is USDA Organic. Mix-ing up a delicious mix of salad greens and other enticing tid-bits, Russell showed her talents in the kitchen as she was ac-companied by Beth Barrett and Larry Garabrandt in the kitchen. Other points to note during the afternoon is that white flour turns into sugar in our bodies, which is why so many health experts urge us to avoid white bread.Russell explained throughout the afternoon while she prepared the various dishes that were then presented to the participants that a can of pop has about seven teaspoons of sugar with about seventeen teaspoons of sugar

in a twenty ounce bottle of pop. Some of the healthy foods that Russell invited everyone to try were spelt, which is high in protein, organically grown let-tuce, walnut oil, which has the omega 33’s that the body needs, sea salt – which adds flavor to your food without the damages of regular table salt, extra virgin olive oil – “very good for you!” and quinoa, which is a whole grain that is consumed in vast quantities in other parts of the world. Russell is available to help people improve their gro-cery shopping habits, promote more healthy eating habits and help people feel better!

Many area veterans’s en-joyed a dinner sponsored by the Am Vets Post 36 and hosted at the VFW

2040 on Veteran’s Day. Frank Spinks, who served in Vietnam during 1968 and 1969, told us that the

kids being at the Coshoc-ton County Courthouse during the annual observa-tion of Armistice Day (now Veteran’s Day) on the 11th day on the 11th hour “made his day”. Spinks also men-tioned that he was at War-saw Elementary School earlier in the day where he enjoyed a breakfast with his grandchild, Tristin Spinks. Spinks then showed us a note that he had received

from 11 year old Brooke Ulrich, a student at Lincoln Elementary School. Her note expressed thanks for what Spinks and other vet-erans did for our country – Spinks commented that’s this card is a very special thing to him and “it means a lot to me”.
