a piece of Coshocton history Coshocton County celebrates its Bicentennial this year with several special observances and most scheduled events taking on a Bicentennial theme. The picturesque Coshocton County Courthouse, although not 200 years old, is recognized as the landmark symbol of strength and justice in our community and, like the people in our community, continues to stand tall regardless of the season or strife.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the community for all of your prayers and support during my illness these past seven months. A special thanks to all of you at Shepherd’s Christian Assembly for your prayers, monetary support and for continuing in the ministry in my absence. Each one of you is a true blessing. Thank you to the many pastors who visited me and for your words of encouragement and to your congregation for their prayers and monetary gifts. Thank you for the hundreds of get well cards I received from my family, friends, and to those of you I have yet to meet. I thank God for the wisdom He has given to my doctor, Dr. Robert Gwinn, whose quick decision made all the difference in my life. Thanks to the staff on 4th floor of Coshocton County Memorial Hospital, Coshocton County E.M.S. and to the Cleveland Clinic for the kindness and concern you showed me. To Dr. Stocchi and Dr. Stein may the Lord continue to bless your skillful, surgical hands. Thanks to my home health nurse, Laura Roberts, for your many visits. A special thanks to my brothers- in-law Tom Brill and Jon Griffin for everything you have done these past 7 months around the house for me and my wife; and to my sister Debbie for the meals you provided to us and to my sons Chad, Ryan, Vincent and daughter- in-law Nadir for all your prayers, help and for driving the many trips to Cleveland Clinic. A very special thank you to my best friend and wife of 34 years, Carol, for being there beside me 24/7 and for your encouraging words and for reminding me of all the promises we have through the Word of God. Thank you to my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, for the strength He has given me and for “the stripes on His back” for I am healed. (Isaiah 53:4) What an awesome God we have and what a great community I live in. Thank you again and may God bless each one of you.

“We chose a small non-profit in Central Ohio that serves families to receive these donations because we knew we could make a real difference by concentrating our efforts in one community,” said Roberto, “and one of our staff members, Rick Banister of Westerville, is a regular volunteer at WARM.” Scott Marier, WARM executive director, said upon receiving the OSBA contributions: “This is fantastic and will help many people.

This year, Carmen Roberto, president of the Ohio State Bar Association (OSBA) decided to do something about feeding the hungry in Ohio.

As part of this effort, he asked the Board of Governors and OSBA staff to participate. They did, to the tune of more than $4,000 and 153 pounds of non-perishable foods.

At the annual Board holiday party, proceeds from a silent auction were combined with staff donations to generate more than $4,000. The Board and staff also gathered 153 pounds of non-perishable food items.

Both the funds raised and the food items collected were delivered to the Westerville Area Resource Ministry (WARM), a Central Ohio non-profit organization whose mission is to provide compassionate, short-term assistance, educational services and spiritual support in order to encourage individuals to achieve a selfsufficient life while restoring dignity and hope.

Members of New Beginnings Ministries in Warsaw continued their tradition of serving others on Christmas Eve with their annual community dinner. Connie Dunfee remarked, “We’ve done this now for about eight years.

The Lord gave me this burden several years ago and it’s a season to give back. So much of our society says it’s all about me, me, me. So we try to give back and get the kids involved as well. The Lord gave so much to us so this is our opportunity to give back. I can’t do this all myself; the church is so wonderful every year.

People of our church just said, “Let’s make it happen”. We serve in between 200 and 300 meals every year. This is such a blessing. We’ve delivered about 170 meals so far. But it’s more than just about the meal. It’s offering prayer, a friendly smile, and a hug. It’s a hard time right

After months of planning and construction, the locally owned and operated Miller Funeral Home is ready and open for business on Main Street in Coshocton. The facility, which was formerly the Century National Bank, has undergone major renovations, including a 5200 square foot addition.

“We have worked hard to create exactly the building we needed,” said owner Matt Miller. “And of course we were going to do this only once, so we wanted to do it right.” Coshocton based SUTCO construction was the general contractor for the project using almost exclusively Coshocton County contractors to complete the project.

Some of the details that Miller believes people will appreciate include a covered entrance to a spacious main lobby, special children’s room, a private kitchen for families, an in-house video system that allows for recording of the service, just to name a few. In addition, the facility also boasts two large showing rooms for visitations and funerals.

“We created the building with

the details of a service in mind,” said Miller.

The Miller Funeral Home will offer a compassionate and caring approach to their funeral services.

In addition, Miller will also offer cremations, online memorials, preplanning and after care as well.

“We will assist your family in planning a meaningful funeral and choosing the options that best suit your family’s needs and your loved ones wishes,” said Miller.

Miller is a 1993 graduate of Tri-Valley High School in Dresden, 1995 graduate from Ohio University in Zanesville and received his Bachelors in Mortuary Science in 1996 from the Cincinnati College of Mortuary Science . He has been a licensed funeral director and embalmer for 14 years including 5 years at another funeral home in Coshocton. Matt, his wife Valerie, and their three children Andrew, Madison and Grace have lived in Coshocton since 2004.

For more information on The Miller Funeral Home, visit them online at www. themillerfuneralhome.com or call 622-8000.

Winter Houseplant Care: Tips for helping your plants survive the winter Winter is a tough time for your houseplants.

With the low light levels, short days and cold drafts, your houseplants could exhibit symptoms from dropping leaves to dropping dead. Here are a few things you can do to help them out.

Create Humidity: Winter means dry air. When every time you touch something metal and an arc jumps from your fingertips, you know the air is very dry.

Humidifiers can help to raise the level in your whole house and makes a healthier atmosphere for plants and animals. Small room humidifiers can be used if you concentrate your houseplants in one room or area in the winter.

Furnace humidifiers will raise the humidity in the whole house and besides helping your plants, you will feel warmer. Moist air holds more heat than dry air. You’ll be able to turn the thermostat down and still feel comfortable.

It will also cut down on the lightning bolts from the ends of your fingers. For those plants that still need more humidity, you can use the saucer and pebble trick. Daily misting of your plants with lukewarm water will also help. Distilled water is probably the best.

Keep Out the Cold: If your plants start to drop leaves suddenly, it could be from the cold. A sudden cold draft from an open door will shock some tropical plants and cause them to drop leaves. Another

indicator to watch for is black tips on the leaves which mean the plant is getting too cold at night.

If you have deep enough windowsills, move your plants back away from the windows in the winter. Another option is to move your plants to a table or stand to get them away from the glass.

Turn On the Light: With the short days and low winter light levels, most houseplants will go dormant and some will just slowly die back. If they are big enough to stand dying back some over the

winter, they will pick up again when the light levels rise again towards spring. Any extra light you can provide for your plants will help.

Fluorescent lights work just fine and they are economical to operate. Coupled with plant bulbs, they provide the light spectrum plants need to keep growing over the winter. Run them 16 hours a day on timers. They also make incandescent plant bulbs to fit an ordinary light fixture but keep in mind that they give off more heat and need to be further from the plant.

Another option for smaller plants is a light garden. Many of the seed companies and plant outlets sell them. It’s usually a set of shelves with adjustable four-foot fluorescent fixtures.

They are a great way to keep your plants going over the winter and it’s easy to build your own.

If you don’t give your plants extra light over the winter, remember to feed them less often since they aren’t growing as much and won’t need the extra food.

Winter is also a good time to re-pot rootbound plants while they are dormant so they will be ready to go in the spring when light levels increase. Use a mix of good potting soil and well-rotted compost and a pot two inches bigger than the pot the plant is in. With a little extra care, your houseplants will survive the winter and be ready to take off in the spring.

on the primary business of providing acute care services through Coshocton Hospital and the medical clinics in Coshocton, West Lafayette, Warsaw and Dresden. “It is important for our community to have quality long term health care available, but we recognize those services are best provided by those who specialize in long term care,” said Robert D. Miller, Coshocton Hospital Acting CEO and CFO. “By maintaining the facility in its current location, the residents will continue to have easy access to the hospital for laboratory services, x-rays or other acute care services whenever necessary.”

To help ensure a smooth transition for the ECF residents, Steve Hitchens, president and chief executive officer of Autumn Health Care, has been directing the establishment of a team of experienced staff to take over the daily operations of the new Autumn Extended Care Facility. “The Coshocton Hospital staff members at risk of losing their jobs as a result of this sale were given the opportunity for employment with Autumn,” Hitchens said. “Preserving as many jobs as possible has been a critical element of this process for both Autumn and for the hospital.”

The full- and part-time employees affected by this sale were given the option to transfer to the hospital, retire or apply for positions with Autumn.

The transfer of the licensed beds to Autumn

Health Care ownership was effective at midnight on Friday, Dec. 31 and will generate proceeds of $1.3 million for the hospital, $500,000 of which will be placed into a restricted savings account as collateral for existing public bonds. The hospital has proposed using the rest of the proceeds to fund hospital operations.

“We are pleased to add this new facility to our long term care services in Coshocton,” Hitchens said. “And accomplishing this transition by incorporating the quality services of several Coshocton Hospital departments as well as many former ECF staff members is a definite plus for our organization and for the community.”

Agronomy school planned for local farmers Area farmers are encouraged to attend a local Agronomy School to learn about different aspects of growing corn, soybeans and other commercial agricultural crops.

Experts from across the state, such as Mark Loux, OSUE Weed Management Specialist, will be at the school to share their expertise, so don’t miss out on this opportunity.

Registration is $15 and will include a light breakfast, lunch, and a 2011 Weed Control Guide.
