amazing stories to share from past adventures. Others had hobbies they were extremely passionate about or unique collections. I had the pleasure of writing about many of our military veterans, a parrot that played cards with its owner and locals who collect everything from military memorabilia to golf balls. I also once had the chance to write a story connected to the 1940s flag pole wedding at the fairgrounds. This one was especially fun since I’m related to the bride from the famous Mad Marshall Jacobs wedding that is part of Coshocton’s history. What made each of these stories special

Words cannot express how much it meant to me to see so many people take the time to surprise me on this special occasion. It was great to see so many family and friends again. I would like to say a special thank you to Rob Kehl and Ward Croft for organizing my surprise party on the 15th, and to give a huge thank you to Tara Kehl for the most delicious refreshments. You can bake for me anytime! I can’t forget to thank the staff of Autumn Care Extended that were “in” on the surprise and helped to get me to the party room. I also want to give a shout out to everyone that sent gifts and birthday cards to remind me that I’m getting closer to my Golden Buckeye Card! You all helped to make my day very memorable.

STORY CONTRIBUTED TO THE BEACON
Financial-services firm Edward Jones ranked No. 5 on FORTUNE magazine’s “100 Best Companies to Work For 2012” list in its 13th appearance on the prestigious list, according to Doug Speicher, financial advisor for Edward Jones in Coshocton. Edward Jones also ranked No. 3 for largesized companies and No. 2 for work-life balance for associates who feel “encouraged to balance their work and personal life.” The firm was the highest ranking financial-services firm on the list. Edward Jones’ 13 FORTUNE rankings also include top 10 finishes for nine years and consecutive No. 1 rankings in 2002 and 2003 and consecutive No. 2 rankings in 2009 and 2010. Currently, Edward Jones has 1,515 positions available throughout the country, mostly for financial advisor and branch office administrator. Each Edward Jones branch office includes one financial advisor and one branch office administrator who work one-on-one with clients in the communities where those clients live. To pick the 100 Best Companies to Work For, FORTUNE partners with the Great Place to Work Institute to conduct the most extensive employee survey in corporate America. A total of 280 companies participated in this year’s survey. Two-thirds of a company’s score is based on the results of the institute’s Trust Index survey, which is sent to a random sample of employees from each company. The survey asks questions related to their attitudes about management’s credibility, job satisfaction, and camaraderie. The other third of the scoring is based on the company’s responses to the institute’s Culture Audit, which includes detailed questions about pay and benefit programs and a series of openended questions about hiring practices, internal communications, training, recognition programs and diversity efforts. Edward Jones provides financial services for individual investors in the United States and, through its affiliate, in Canada. Every aspect of the firm’s business, from the types of

The bottom line is that a Catholic education only costs a family about $1.25 per child per instructional hour. Compare that to the amount you pay per hour for music lessons, dance lessons, or any activity in which your child participates. Think about all the great benefits your child could receive from a Catholic education at Sacred Heart School. If you would like more information, stop by our office or call 622-3728. We will be having a registration in the gym on February 7 from 5:30-6:30p.m.

Compliments of:
10. GOD IS ALLOWED IN OUR CLASSROOMS: We embrace the teachings of Jesus and those things infuse all aspects of our programs. Sacred Heart School is a place where your children will feel safe physically, socially and morally. 9. STUDENTS OF ALL FAITHS ATTEND: On average, 14% of students who attend a Catholic School are not Catholic. At Sacred Heart School, 50% of our students come from outside Sacred Heart Parish. 8. OUR CLASS SIZE IS SMALL: Lower teacher-student ratio means teachers have more time to spend with each individual student. 7. NO PRESSURE TO “TEACH TO THE TEST”: Our students learn to think critically, read for comprehension and write coherently. Our third grade students have scored higher on the Terra Nova test than any other school in the diocese. Our fourth through sixth grade students also were among the highest scores in the diocese. 6. WE ARE A FAMILY: The teachers know the names of all the children whether they are in their classroom or not. Older students are kind and helpful to the younger students and act as role models for those children. 5. BUSSING IS AVAILABLE: All three school districts provide transportation for any Sacred Heart School that requires it. 4. WEEKLY SPECIAL CLASSES: Our students have weekly Art, Music, Phys Ed, Computer Classes, and Sign Language. Fifth graders are eligible to participate in band with the public schools. Our students have access to speech, occupational and physical therapy, and special education services. 3. FIRST TO HAVE SMARTBOARDS: Sacred Heart School was the first in the county to have smartboards in all classrooms. Our computer lab has 18 new Dell computers. 2. EXPECTATIONS ARE HIGH: We expect our students to meet their fullest potential. We push them to succeed while providing the tools they need. 1. CATHOLIC EDUCATION IS AFFORDABLE: Parishoners receive discounts on tuition. Additional tuition assistance is available for eligible families through the diocese as well as programs in our parish that sponsor students.

February 2nd, 1952 Coshocton bridge is falling down! As resident Clarence Carpenter drove his truck over the Coshocton bridge over the Tuscarawas River, he noticed the bridge was shaking and immediately notified highway authorities who closed the bridge when they noticed a broken plate under a supporting beam let the floor sag an estimated five feet. They believed the cause of the breakage was the continual heavy pounding of traffic over the last 40 years. The bridge was built in 1911 and had been repaired numerous times. They hoped to have this major repair completed in just 10 days..

February 6th, 1962 Ronald Gordon of Coshocton was spending his winter in sunshine, sand and 80 degree weather while studying abroad in Mexico. He was enrolled in the only American-style college in Mexico City. While his classes were all taught in English, outside of the classroom is where Ronald received his real education, interacting with people in the rich Spanish language, learning the history of a different country, and immersing himself in the culture, the arts and the entertainment of Mexico. As with most American students studying in Mexico, Ronald stayed in a Mexican household where he was treated like family and became fluent in the Spanish language.

February 5th, 1972 It was a wild overtime at the Coshocton Redskins basketball game against Dover. With one second to go in the game and Dover ahead, Randy Foster, a junior at Coshocton, tipped in a basket, tying the game at 62-62. In the first overtime, the two teams were deadlocked at 64-64 and Dover missed their shot as the bell sounded. In the second overtime, the game was again tied 66-66 until Dan Brown put the Redskins over the top 68-66. With nine seconds left, Tommy Meiser was fouled following a rebound and dropped in both shots for the 70-66 victory. Coach Bill Bowman was speechless after the game.

February 7th, 1982 Learning is best outside of the classroom. This was certainly the case for the JVS horticulture students. Most days, their lab room sat dark as these students enjoyed traveling and changing their community for the better. They traveled to businesses all over Ohio, planting over 15,000 Holland tulip bulbs at the General Electric Company, reseeding the landscape at the River View Junior High School, or preparing a landscape graphic design for a Coshocton resident. They also operated a 70-tree orchard, a florist shop, a spring garden center, and a 3,200 square foot greenhouse at the JVS.

Do you know what to use to make a penny shine or what type of water helps plants grow the most? These were just two of the many questions asked and researched by students who competed at the Coshocton County Sixth Grade Science Fair. Jennifer Wang from Lincoln Elementary did her project on shining pennies. “I learned quite a lot of facts about pennies and what makes them shine,” she said. “Vinegar and lemon juice did, but I was surprised soapy water didn’t change them. Wang was one of 32 students who participated in the county science fair after receiving a superior rating at their school’s fair. The fair was held Jan. 27, at the Coshocton County Career Center. “This is a chance for the student to learn to pose a question and how to go about scientifically researching it,” said Karen Brown, coordinator of the fair, which is hosted by the Muskingum Valley Educational Service Center. Competing in science fairs also gives students an opportunity to go through an interview process. “I was pretty calm and felt good about it,” Wang said. Fourteen different community members helped judge the students’ science fair projects. “I really praise my judges,” Brown said. “They are competent and knowledgeable people that are positive with the kids.” Wang’s classmate Madison Miller also had a good experience being interviewed by the judges. “I feel great,” she said. “I was a little nervous at the start, but the judges made me feel confident.” Miller did her research on whether or not agri-gro has an effect on herbs. “I love to garden,” she said. Lincoln sixth grader Becky Corder also did a project connected to gardening. She studied how five different waters impact the growth of plants. “I thought spring water would do the best and it did,” Corder said. “Coshocton City water

long Chautauqua and the Civil War Encampment coinciding with its 150th anniversary, it was a memorable year. Add to that the huge success of the America in Bloom landscape committee that garnered national recognition and awards in their first year of judged competition. That group continues on and has since received nonprofit status as “Coshocton is Blooming”. The Bicentennial Celebration did much more than capture state-wide attention, it created a great sense of pride and a cooperative spirit throughout our community. It has laid new groundwork and forged fresh frontiers of opportunity to help sustain the quality of life long into the future. In recapping the year, I commend the many community groups, organizations and volunteers, and also want to include the usually unheralded efforts of our city employees. It is difficult in government work to balance declining income and yet meet increasing public expectations, but our officials and employees were up to the task. Through the cooperation of management and labor, I am proud to say we continue to weather the storm. Through retirements and attrition, we have been able to lower the workforce, reduce costs and maintain all services without layoffs and furloughs. Our departments have operated frugally and in some cases, understaffed. All this is reflected in our General Fund finishing in the black for the second year in a row, with a positive balance of $234,846.00, and in All Funds to the good for $6,327,783.00. Nearly 30% of that can be attributed to the Utilities Department turning around what 5 years ago, was a dangerously low reserve balance in their fund. Now they are able to pay off some debt early, thus saving our taxpayers money while assuring adequate funds are available for maintenance and emergencies. However, not just Utilities, but all our departments take seriously the public trust of the funds allotted to them. From street to cemetery, fire to recreation and throughout, our supervisors understand the responsibility of public service. We are not out of the fiscal woods yet. The lingering recession, the burden of the state reducing local government funds and elimination of the estate tax in another year, will require us to continue to weigh the services we provide with the monies we receive. It is imperative that officials, management and unions work together to cooperate on all levels; independent actions and personal agendas are not only counterproductive, but undermine the purpose of government service. We are charged to be wise stewards of the responsibilities entrusted to us and that we must be. This coming year will bring careful scrutiny of wages and benefits that are a significant expense to the city. For the past three years, this kind of joint effort was shown when our employees agreed to wage freezes and concessions. I look for that continued spirit of cooperation in balancing our fiscal restraints with the needs of our workforce. Looking forward into 2012, we need to focus on the primary and essential functions of government, one being the safety and protection of its citizens. I believe we have always had a safe

community to live in. Last year it was necessary to negotiate a reduction in the sheriff contract due to our continued revenue decline, which in turn, resulted in staffing reductions. Planning for this year, we reviewed appropriations with the sheriff last November for the 2012 contract. I set a goal to restore an additional $50,000 to our current monthly contract and we were able to identify the source to fund it. However, final end-of-the-year actions by council, led to that commitment being removed and delayed till 2012. I will again propose that appropriation increase to council and hope they agree this support is vital to the safety and security of our citizens. Recently, we have had a series of break-ins by a group of vandals and thieves. The Sheriff is committed to apprehending the perpetrators and we should be resolved to fully support that effort, not just in word, but also in deed. Main Street has been one of the areas targeted by these criminals. We have a beautiful downtown, but we need to help our merchants in many ways. We have far too many vacant storefronts, and vacancies lead to vandalism. I’d like to see a 12% reduction in vacancies by the end of this year, and 40% by the end of 2015. I believe these are obtainable goals. I’m asking each of the 3 groups that have been working to improve the downtown area, to come together and find a common vision and plan: “The Towne Centre Association”, The Port Authority’s “Our Town Coshocton” and “The Project to Restore America”. I’m also calling on council’s Grants & Economic Development Committee to explore giving landlord tax credit incentives for allowing several months of free or reduced rent to businesses moving into vacant storefronts. In conjunction with these initiatives, I’m commissioning a study of the Downtown and Chestnut Street Bridge lighting issues. The deteriorating condition of the electrical infrastructure leads to whole rows of lights going down. We need to know the solution and projected costs to repair this ongoing problem.

repayment of $700,000 for the plant’s failure to meet federal Low to Moderate Income hiring requirements. We have been very longsuffering with the ethanol executives in their effort and hopes of reopening the plant and fulfilling the LMI requirement. I have sincerely appreciated the State’s willingness to extend deadlines to us, but it is time to get this gorilla off our backs solely and get relief from the sources that helped put him there. We need help to resolve this potential crisis and I will continue to appeal to the various state departments, and our state and federal legislators as well. We need more cooperation and common sense compromise to restore hope to us that state and local partnerships, for the economic good of all, are worth entering into. I look forward to the future opportunities I see on the horizon and the resolution of projects and issues that have lingered long. I am more encouraged now than ever before, that we are turning the corner on the struggles we’ve been challenged with.

year to finalize a water agreement with them. We have been in recent contact to reopen the discussions, finalize the terms and close the deal. They expressed their willingness to go forward. As we had hoped last year, the city’s major project on the agenda will again be to rebuild the Sheridan Road infrastructure. Engineering, and then seasonal delays, caused us to put off this project till this year. We are on course to bid the job within the next month and a half with the start date to be set this spring. Though it will be a messy, temporary inconvenience to the area residents, the ultimate outcome will be reliable water delivery and some beautifully paved streets. Finally, I want to address the 800 pound gorilla that has taken up residence here in the city. That is the Ethanol Plant issue. It was with high expectations and much fanfare from the state level that Coshocton was awarded the earnestly sought construction of a new ethanol plant in Ohio. Hardly could any community turn down an opportunity like this for well-paying jobs and the promise of spin-off businesses. We as a city had a key component to draw them to our county and that was the capacity and ability to upgrade our wastewater plant to treat their discharge, and that we did, with a $5,000,000 investment in the latest biothane technology. So far, that joint risk has not panned out and to the contrary, the state has moved onto their next hopeful projects. That leaves us holding millions in wastewater debt and the Ohio Department of Development demanding grant

perspectives. Today, we can see vacant buildings but some locals still remember the days when storefronts were filled and vibrant activity was up and down the sidewalks. Our First Friday celebrations have been successful in returning that excitement each month. But it will take personal involvement and commitment by merchants, organizations and agencies to make that an everyday activity. Commitment, such as the kind that was shown 30 years ago by a young entrepreneur opening a fledgling Hallmark store, and using her love of the downtown area, her store became an anchor and shining beacon for others to build around. Sue Border’s enthusiasm and distinctive personality surely will be missed, but her contribution to Main Street will live on. Other initiatives for 2012 will be to consolidate our Street and Cemetery Departments along with maintenance responsibilities to create a new Department of Public Works. This will allow our supervisory positions to better manage a broader scope of areas and utilize our workforce more efficiently. We will actively pursue the oil and gas industry to market our city’s greatest asset, our water capacity. Millions of gallons of water are used in the hydro-fracking process. What has been an apparent over-capacity since our water plant upgrade ten years ago, now appears to be a tremendous opportunity. We have both a robust water source with our well fields, and have a proven distribution method to meet the demands. I welcome this market opportunity, and have the hope that the county will be in a position this

State of the Village

State of the Village for West Lafayette Members of Village Council, News Media and the Citizens of this wonderful Village of West Lafayette, I begin my annual State of the Village by telling you it has been a privilege to have been your Mayor for twenty years and I want to thank everyone who voted me into office for another term. I consider it a great experience being Mayor and enjoy working with everyone to help make this a great community to live in. A State of the Village is the method of relaying to our citizens the conditions of the Village for the past year and the stability of the Village for the next year to come. For the year 2011, our financial status continued to be sound. In comparing our financial stability, we review areas such as interest rates and taxes. In 2010 the interest received from checking, money market and CD investments was $6,136 and in 2011 it was $3,282. The projected amount of interest for 2012 is $3,000. As the numbers show, interest income is decreasing with each passing year. The Municipal income tax collected in 2010 was $269,697, in 2011 the amount collected was $261,682 and the projected General fund amount will be $265,000 collected for 2012. These amounts reflect the one percent income tax collected that assists with the operation of the General Fund. The projected amount to be collected from the newly voted ½ percent income tax for the Street Repair Fund should be around $132,500. Remember, since voters’ approved the additional tax in the fall, the Village’s local income tax is now 1.5 percent. The additional ½ percent is exclusively for maintenance and repair of Village streets, alleys and sidewalks and is held and controlled in a separate fund. The General Fund in 2010 had revenue of $560,815 and had expenses totaling $566,284. Even though the expenses exceeded the income, we did have a carryover from 2009 to remain sound. The year 2011 was a better year for the General Fund. We had revenue of $597,428 and expenses of $559,459. These 2011 numbers reflect a higher carryover for the year 2012. However, we believe the projected General Fund revenue for 2012 will be $435,403 and expense of $433,149. The projected revenue and expense for 2012 is a lot lower for a few reasons. The fire department is no longer operated from the General Fund. With council and state approval, a new fund has been established to record revenues and expenses. This fund receives $85,250 from the four townships we contract with for fire protection. Loss of Local Government revenue is another factor to consider for the lower income projected for 2012. As a comparison, in 2010 we received $50,144 from Local Government, in 2011 we received $46,676 and the projected amount to be received in 2012 is $34,000. We did have revenue generated from alcohol

sales in 2011 of $660.00. Also we received $450.00 from golf cart registrations in 2011. When comparing all these numbers, we can see a decrease in the operating General Fund revenue and therefore I have encouraged all department supervisors to be watchful of our expenses in the future. I have had meetings with the supervisors and have been assured our spending will be limited to only the necessary. Despite these drops in revenue from the state and other sources, I believe we will continue to be secure. Fiscal Officer Lisa Stiteler has been doing exceptional work by keeping the finance committee and the Mayor aware of the financial status of the village. We meet at least once a month and more often as necessary to review finances. I thank you Lisa for your diligent work. It does take more than financial stability to make a village successful. We have an efficient police department, an efficient fire department and an efficient utility department also contributing to the success of the village. Also I want to recognize the governing body, the six council members, who make the rules and decisions for the village operations. The cooperation between the Mayor and village council has been a large factor in the successful operation of this village. I am pleased to welcome back to council Roger Warne and Ron Lusk and look forward to working with them and the other four council members, Christie Maurer, Kelly Gossett, Dean Wears and council president Dave Rogers. We made a great team in 2011 and will continue do so in the future years. Police Chief Terry Mardis has been busy in 2011. He was mandated by Senate Bill 77 to provide a separate interview room in his police department. To make this happen, we moved the council meeting room to a new building. Chief Mardis has remodeled the police building to accommodate this mandate. Along with the renovations, his department has handled 3,314 calls/complaints, 2,774 follow ups, 475 traffic
stops, 41 accident reports, 21 felony cases and 128 criminal arrests along with parking and written warnings. Keep up the good work Chief Mardis and thank you and your officers for making this village a safe place to work and live. Fire Chief Gaylord Hill has continued to maintain an efficient fire department. That group of volunteers has retained a top fire rating for years even with their limited and older equipment. A goal for the department is to have new turn out gear, air tanks and personal air masks and even a new fire truck. The safety of those firemen is of great concern to the village officials. I hope that these goals can be attained in the near future as they certainly deserve it. Village Administrator Dave Kadri was hired a few years ago and has had a long list of to do’s since his hiring. A major project has been taking the necessary steps to accept waste from Pearl Valley Cheese and from the Village of Fresno. By accepting the waste, it was necessary for the village to renovate our waste water treatment plant. Working with our engineers, the estimated project cost for this was approved at 1.7 million dollars. The village has hopes that this project will actually come in under the project cost. Grants applied for and approved total approximately one million dollars. We also have the option to apply for either 0% or low interest rate loans. Currently, the waste water (sewer) plant has a rated capacity to treat 220,000 gallons of waste per day. The sewer plant utilized a year to date of 103% of plant capacity treating an average of 227,562 gallons of waste per day. The water treatment plant has a rated capacity to treat one million gallons per day. The water plant utilized a year to date of 22% of plant capacity treating an average daily flow of 222,858 gallons. It was necessary to purchase some new equipment for the water, sewer and street department in 2011 with the expectation of making do with what we now have for 2012. For the convenience of water and sewer users, we established the one cycle utility billing. This project has been working well. The Village Administrator had a very good workforce in 2011 and strives to maintain the same in 2012. I thank you and your employees for making West Lafayette a pleasant place to live. The subject of the condition of the village streets has been on my agenda for several years. Each year the funds to do street resurfacing have been difficult to find even as a matching fund for grants. With the passing of the 1/2 % increase to village income tax, that fund will provide us much needed money to accomplish some street and alley repairs.

It’s a Wonderful Life: Pooch Blackson recalls his youth BY BETH SCOTT

it ‘Marshall’s Dream’. Every painting that Pooch owns tells a story. In one such story, Pooch’s wife, Mary Alice, which he had been married to for 58 years before her passing, bought him a painting from Goodwill. Pooch enjoys learning about the artist of the paintings he collects, but on this painting, the signature of the artist had been worn away. Looking for another clue to the identity of the artist, he found a group of numbers on the back that looked like a phone number, so he decided to give it a try and call the number. A woman answered the phone and Pooch explained that he had her painting. When he described the painting to her, she recognized it as a painting she had done for her father. She told Pooch she was living in Florida and asked where he was calling from. When Pooch said Central Ohio, the woman told him that she used to live in a small town in Central Ohio called Coshocton. The woman asked for Pooch’s name. “Before I even got ‘Pooch’ out of my mouth, she started screaming,” Pooch said. The woman had graduated with Pooch and hadn’t spoken with him since. She had lived in Coshocton and her father had a music store on Third Street. Because of finding this painting, she and Pooch were able to reconnect after all of these years. Pooch spends his time now playing his player piano, entertaining at senior centers and nursing homes, and collecting his artwork. His ‘Galley in the Alley’ behind his house is filled with artwork from his collection, his ‘stringless’ banjo, his player piano and a beautifully-restored record player. On any given morning, Pooch can be found having coffee with his friends at Hardee’s discussing politics and health. Although he has his friends, Pooch commented that he misses his ‘old gang’ of buddies from when he was young. But that doesn’t get him down. Anyone who knows Pooch knows that he’s always a positive person. Throughout his life, Pooch has some advice for others. “Never give up,” he said. “Because if you do, you’ll never know how close you were.” BETH@COSHOCTONCOUNTYBEACON.COM

BEACON PHOTO BY BETH SCOTT areas. He made friends with a man in Newcomerstown who always used to speak to him asking how the 7Up business was doing. Pooch would smile at the man, who was always welldressed, and say, “It’s doing fine, Mr. Young.” He then laughed and said that he should have given the man a box full of baseballs and asked for the signature of the major league pitcher, Cy Young. Pooch also knew football player and coach, Woody Hayes, and attended all of his games at Ohio State. In the 1960s, Pooch owned a market in town called Pooch’s Market: The Best Doggone Market in Town. He later sold it and started in the insurance business. Some people in the community may remember when Pooch played Santa Claus for all of the children in Coshocton, riding on the fire truck during the Christmas parade and passing out candy to all of the children on the court square lawn. “What a treat that was,” said Pooch. “That was so much fun. What a thrill that was for me to play Santa Claus for this community. What a special thing that was.” As an avid singer his whole life, Pooch starting singing in the Moose Minstrel Shows and continues to be a part of the Lion’s Club Minstrel Shows in November. He is also a member of the Al Jolson International Society, who was dubbed “The World’s Greatest Entertainer”. It’s no surprise that Pooch’s love for music goes beyond singing. When a friend gave him his collection of piano rolls to be played on a player piano, Pooch took them but didn’t have a piano to play them on. About a month later, he saw an ad for a player piano and decided to buy it for a good price. The piano still functions and plays the piano rolls beautifully. Most of the rolls he has dates back to the 1940s, although a few go back as far as the early 1900s. Pooch not only loves music, but has a huge collection of artwork. This love of art started when Pooch’s brother, Benny, sold him a few Benton Clark paintings. Since then, Pooch has been collecting art from various Coshocton artists and especially loves paintings depicting nature or the history of Coshocton. His brother was also an artist and, at Pooch’s request, painted him a scene of the Monticello II, calling

Many in the Coshocton community know Lewis ‘Pooch’ Blackson as an entertainer, playing his banjo at local senior centers and retirement homes. But Pooch’s love of good music and good company is only the tip of the iceberg of his life. To say that he has led and continues to lead an exciting and wonderful life would be an understatement. Pooch Blackson has simply been blessed with a loving family, a variety of rewarding jobs throughout his life, and a vast collection of paintings from various artists in Coshocton, most notably, Benton Clark. Pooch was born and raised on Oak Street in Coshocton and attended the former Bancroft School. One of his earliest memories is when he was 13 years old in 1941. He and his friends were playing football outside on Dec. 7 in the Red Sea, which got its name from the red dirt created from the coal mine. He remembers his father coming outside and calling the boys to the house saying that President Roosevelt had just declared war on Japan. Sadly, one of the friends he had been playing football with, Ed Young, enlisted in the Navy and was killed in the war. When Pooch was young, his mother used to bake cakes, cookies, pies and candies all the time. One of his friends, Dale, whose nickname was Minnie, used to come over to Pooch’s house asking if his mother had any sweets baked that day. Pooch said, “If you keep coming over, I’m going to start calling you Minnie the Moocher.” His friend replied, “Well if you do that, I’m going to start calling you Pooch.” Ever since then, he has been affectionately known as Pooch. Pooch is proud of his Coshocton High School football team in 1946, when they won every game they played. When the coach passed away, the family asked Pooch to speak at the funeral and later awarded him a painting of his high school coach, saying that Pooch was very special to him. The piece was done by a former member of the Coshocton football team, and Pooch has added the painting to the hundreds of artwork he has collected over the years. In 1996, Pooch’s high school football team had a 50th reunion. He decided to write to the University of Michigan’s coach, Bo Schembechler. Pooch had played against Schembechler during a scrimmage with Barberton High School in 1946 and Coshocton had won the scrimmage. Fifty years later, Pooch decided to ‘rub it in’ a little, and even received a letter back from Schembechler with some friendly jokes. Pooch still has the letter. Another early memory Pooch recalls is when he had his first slice of pizza in Coshocton in the 1950s. He was at a friend’s relative’s house when he was introduced to the taste of pizza. He said he missed a rare opportunity after that to open his own pizza shop. “If you think Pizza Hut is big, can you imagine what Pooch’s Pizza would have been like?” he said. Pooch said he missed another opportunity when he was younger. Pooch used to sell 7Up in the 1950s in Coshocton and the surrounding

for 2012. I sincerely want to thank the residents who voted for this increase. Council chambers moved to a new location in 2011. As stated before, Senate Bill 77 required our police department to have a separate interview room with certain equipment available. Because of lack of space available at the police department, we decided to move council chambers and give the police department the entire old municipal building and village council would relocate. After months of study, village council and I felt very strongly that the purchase of the old video building was the best solution for the needs of the village. In 2011, we were successful with the demolition of a dilapidated house thru the Neighborhood Stabilization Program Fund and the owner of the house. Goals for 2012; to continue with the removal of other dilapidated houses in the village providing program funds will be available, continue to enforce the property ordinance to improve appearance of homes in this community, concentrate strongly on improvement of streets and alleys, offer our water and sewer facilities to property owners out side the village limits and maintain current employment levels and to maintain current service levels. I encourage our residents to support our local small businesses and schools. In conclusion, thank you to all village department employees and council committees for going above and beyond to make 2011 successful. Thank you for your trust and dedication to your village officials. I am proud to be your Mayor and I am excited and ready for the challenges of 2012.

Students to research crows in Coshocton CONTRIBUTED TO THE BEACON
CONTRIBUTED TO THE BEACON
in this unpopulated industrial area, there has been no need to ‘move’ them this year except the occasional morning when large groups linger in populated areas when moving out of town to forage. Beginning Jan. 30, the Pomerene Center will lead a team of four high school researchers in collecting crow data throughout the month of February. They will collect data in consultation with researchers at Binghamton University and Cornell Lab of Ornithology. The data will be shared with researchers at Binghamton and Cornell and used as the information base for a weeklong Gund Gallery workshop with artist Diana Cooper. Diana Cooper, 12 Kenyon College studio art students, Professor Karen Snouffer, six Coshocton County high school students and
Pomerene Center artist Anne Cornell will work to create an artistic visualization of Coshocton’s crow data. As in Gund Gallery’s inaugural exhibition, Seeing/Knowing, the planned workshop explores the expanded ways art can represent thought and convey information. Gund Gallery will present the work to regional colleges and community art centers as a traveling installation piece and promote it as a model of collaborative art making, bringing local community, Liberal Arts College and international artist into meaningful relationship.

CROW ART A potential public art venue for the crow art. PHOTO
Business Directory
Coshocton has carried the nickname Crowtown for some time. No one seems to know exactly where the nickname came from, but it is somehow linked to motorcycles. In 2008, when crows began to congregate for the winter in significant enough numbers, Annin Flag Co. purchased a propane cannon to scare them away from their parking lot. In 2011, when thousands of crows settled for the night on the court square, the city purchased pyrotechnics to chase them away. The name begins to fit like a glove. Coshocton. Crow resort town, Crowtown. 2012 crow resort season: The crows are regularly gathering for their night roost in the vicinity of the RockTenn paper mill just north of the convergence of the Tuscarawas and Walhonding Rivers. Roosting spots change. Frequently, the crows roost in trees easily visible along either the east or west bank of the Tuscarawas. Due to both the factory lights and the light reflected by the mill emissions, this area along the river is always significantly lit at night. Weather conditions effect the emissions from the RockTenn Paper Mill, in turn, the emissions effect the quality and intensity of light in the vicinity surrounding the mill. The light is all in the yellow spectrum. As the crows are roosting as a single group

Business on the move in Coshocton

FEBRUARY 1, 2012
Business
Several Coshocton County businesses have set up shop in new locations or expanded services to help them continue to serve their patrons. Take a look at some of the changes being made.
East of Chicago East of Chicago had to decide to move or close when the building it was in was sold. Owner Jeff Wilkins picked relocating and East of Chicago can now be found in the old Damon’s location at 750 S. Second St. A drawback to the move was lack of space for a buffet, but East of Chicago is highlighting other features of the business. “We now post daily specials on our reader board and are concentrating on our delivery and pick up customers pizza needs,” Wilkins said. He also said East of Chicago sets itself apart from other pizza places by the fact that its dough is made fresh daily, its 100 percent real three cheese blend is fresh never frozen, and its meats come from an exclusive Italian meats distributor. “Over the years as food costs have risen sharply, the temptation is there to compromise by buying frozen cheese that has fillers, or frozen dough balls that are pervasive in the industry, but East of Chicago has maintained fresh and real food integrity and we refuse to compromise,” Wilkins said. “Our customers know and keep coming back for our amazing taste. We have our signature pan crust, a hand tossed New York style thin crust, a crispy cracker crust, a loaded crust, as well as a newer item, our Authentic Deep Dish Chicago style pizza.” East of Chicago’s menu also includes subs, wings, pizza, salads and desserts. “Our phone number is still 622-8800 and we have some special offers for former Damon’s customers who call in the old Damon’s line 2955500,” Wilkins said. Cantwell Creek Garden Center Cantwell Creek Garden Center offers a lot more than plants. It also stocks several different types of animal feed. Six varieties are available for dogs, four for cats, nine for horses, two for cattle and the store also carries feed for rabbits,

goats and chicken. Cantwell Creek is located at 601 W. Chestnut St. and is owned by Jeff Henderson and Brent and Mindy Shrimplin. “We offer the best customer service along with the highest quality plants,” Mindy said. The store opened in 2005 and the staff has more than 30 years of combined experience in the industry. “By continuing to grow our local business, we will be able to continue to retain and provide jobs for our community,” Mindy said. In addition to animal feed, you also can pick up plants, annuals, vegetables, herbs, perennials, trees, shrubs, seeds, fertilizers, soils and mulch at Cantwell Creek. For information about Cantwell Creek, call 622-0283 or follow them on Facebook. The Village Pantry The Village Pantry in Roscoe Village has a new place to call home. They have moved from what is now Shaker House at 435 N Whitewoman St. to the old school house at 318 N Whitewoman St., located right beside G.A. Fischer Jewelers. The main reason owners Chris and Jenny Wilson decided to move was because they needed a bigger space to put their full-sized kitchen for their cooking classes. “There was no room for an oven and to have a nice cooking class,” said Jenny. “It was just very congested.” Now, The Village Pantry is able to offer a much larger space for their classes including an oven, a refrigerator and a counter where the food is prepared. In the other building, the chef’s counter and the check-out counter were the same, making it harder for people to talk with the chef and sample food while others wanted to purchase items. Now, the chef’s counter and check-out counter are completely separate, making it easier for customers to talk to the chef without interfering with other customers purchasing items. “I love the new space and all the windows,” Jenny said. “On a sunny day, you can’t get enough of it.” Parking for customers is also more convenient than at the other building. The building still has its original school bell, which rings before cooking class begins. Because of more storage and space, Jenny hopes to add more products in stock. “This allows us to broaden our availability to our customers,” she said. In addition to the cooking classes and a wide variety of cookware available at The Village Pantry, the space is also available for small parties. The Village Pantry can be reached at 740575-4049.

Krasco’s Customs A move to 901 ½ State Route 541 has helped Krasco’s Customs grow and keep business in town. “We were in Roscoe Village for five years but we out grew our building there,” said Roy Krasky, owner of the business. “We had gotten a screen printing machine that takes up a lot of room. With it we can do stuff in house that is made locally.” Krasky’s business puts customized messages on items such as hats, T-shirts, sweatshirts, hoodies and even coffee cups. “We do a lot of stuff for kids for schools but we can also customize just one shirt for a birthday or something with funny sayings,” he said. He also does vinyl lettering for decals. “I enjoy creating stuff,” Krasky said. Krasco’s Customs moved to its new location in October. “We just keep growing a little at a time,” Krasky said. “We plan to get a lot of stuff done up for the schools.” For information about Krasco’s Customs call 622-6955.

COTC has participated in an ongoing discussion with Hollywood Casinos regarding possible educational opportunities for the past year. Central Ohio Technical College is a fully accredited two-year college dedicated to providing high quality, accessible programs of technical education in response to current and emerging employment needs, as well as encouraging the professional development of students, staff, faculty, and administrators to assist them in achieving their maximum potential. COTC operates campus locations in Newark, Coshocton, Knox, and Pataskala.
0013_071311
Central Ohio Technical College (COTC) and Hollywood Casino Columbus announced a unique partnership in which COTC will provide workforce training for potential casino employees. COTC will primarily provide nongaming training such as security, slot machine technical support, and accounting. COTC’s casino training classes will first be offered in summer 2012, several months before Hollywood Casino Columbus’ planned opening date of autumn 2012. While exact class dates are yet to be finalized, in order to best accommodate the widest possible range of prospective students, COTC will offer classes at multiple locations and times of day throughout central Ohio. College-credit classes and not-for-college credit classes will be offered through COTC’s Workforce Development Innovation Center (WDIC). COTC is committed to exploring the possibility of incorporating some casino training certificates toward completion of an associate degree. Prospective students can call the WDIC to be added to a list to receive class information when available. Call 740-755-7122. Additionally, as class information becomes available it will be added to the WDIC web page: www.cotc.edu/ AboutCOTC/WDIC/Pages/default.aspx. At previously developed Hollywood Casinos, workforce training was provided internally by the casino. In central Ohio, however, Hollywood Casinos wanted to operate training under a new paradigm – one in which the casino would partner with educational institutions.

from all parts of Ohio is honed into working together as ‘Ohio’s Incredible Singing Machine’. These singers inspire our audiences with hope, and the miracle expands as members of the audience reach out to believe in and encourage the singers to become future leaders of our society.” The Youth Choir will also be singing at the 10:30 a.m. Sunday, Feb. 12 worship service at The Coshocton Presbyterian Church, 142 North Fourth St., and a Youth Choir ensemble will sing at the 8 a.m. mass that day at Sacred Heart Church, 805 Main St. Guests are welcome to attend either service. These young singers will be in Coshocton for the weekend, which includes a Saturday rehearsal and the concert on Sunday. Housing for the singers is provided by local residents. “It is amazing to me the way people in our community have opened their doors and their hearts to these young musicians over the past two decades,” said Snyder. “This has been a beautiful demonstration of Coshocton County hospitality.”
The reunion concert is held at Coshocton High School’s McKinley Auditorium located at 1205 Cambridge Road in Coshocton. Due to the construction at Coshocton High School, the best route to enter for parking is Denman Avenue to South 14th Street to Sleepy Hollow Drive for access to the CHS parking lots.

Donations still needed for United Way’s 2011-2012 campaign BY JOSIE McCORMICK
Lyn Mizer, executive director of United Way of Coshocton County, Inc. has faith the community can pull together and reach the organization’s 2011-2012 campaign goal. “We are not quite where we were last year, but I know we have a lot of untapped potential in this community,” she said. The campaign is almost complete with $354,445.55 pledged to date or 97 percent of the $365,000 goal. Mizer believes this would not be possible without the help of every donor who pledged a little or a lot. “I am encouraged most by the fact that we

Every United Way donor is invited to attend the annual meeting and awards presentation breakfast at 6:45 a.m. Thursday, Feb. 23, at The Presbyterian Church. Cost is $10 per person for a breakfast buffet. Reservations can be made by sending $10 per person to P.O. Box 84, Coshocton, OH 43812. For information, call the United Way office 622-4567 or e-mail execasst@ coshoctonunitedway.org.
are making goal slowly, but surely,” she said. “When we have more people giving a little other than a lot it means more are taking ownership over what happens in Coshocton.” Right now Coshocton’s industries are leading the way with donations. “Fifty-six percent of our donations come from payroll deductions,” Mizer said. “Some of the area businesses really stepped up this year. Annin almost quadrupled what they pledged last year and CCMH and Kraft almost doubled theirs. It’s very encouraging.” The campaign kicked off in August at Taste of Coshocton and will wrap up sometime this month. It is not too late to pledge your support to United Way. Call United Way at 622-4567, to have a pledge form sent to you. The organization’s mission is to build stronger, safer and healthier communities by inspiring people to make a difference and together improve lives. “Our goal is to figure out what are the needs of the people of Coshocton and how we can make sustainable and do able goals and go after them one at a time,” Mizer said.

Approximately 160 teen members of the Youth Choir and the Cardinal Chorale will be traveling from all points in Ohio to Coshocton for the 20th annual reunion concert. The Winter Pops Concert is sponsored by the Coshocton Community Choir and will be held at 3 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 12, at Coshocton High School’s McKinley Auditorium located at 1205 Cambridge Road. The All-Ohio Youth Choir is conducted by Charles R. Snyder of Coshocton. “The concert title, ‘Walk Together’ was the theme for this past summer’s performances at the Ohio State Fair in 2011,” said Snyder. “The Choir explored ideas and songs about the joys of walking the journey of life together, so concert goers will hear favorites such as The Happy Wanderer; Michael W. Smith’s Friends; Heart and Soul; Under the Sea; Lollipop and Breaking Up Is Hard to Do (featuring the ladies).” The choir will also perform the college novelty song Whistle, Maggie, Whistle; and Tell My Father from the musical ‘The Civil War’ (featuring the men). The Coshocton Community Choir will join the young singers in the final set featuring, I Believe and The Battle Hymn of the Republic. Each summer, The All-Ohio Youth Choir memorizes, rehearses, and polishes 60 or more songs during its 18-day residency at the Ohio State Fair. These numbers are then presented to thousands of fairgoers in over 100 performances, at an average of nine concerts per day, across the 360-acre Ohio Expo Center. “One of the things that makes the Youth Choir so special is its perennial sense of community in friendship,” said Snyder. “Each year, a group of over 200 high school singers

Hey teens, want a cool place to socialize with your friends, surf the Internet and play games? Look no further than the Coshocton Public Library’s Plugged and Unplugged for Teens program. Every Wednesday after school the lights in the library’s large meeting room are dimmed and white Christmas lights sparkle as teens chat with friends, look up their favorite websites, play video games on consoles like the Wii, gather around board games and enjoy snacks. A game Chris Peyatt enjoys playing is Super Smash Bros. “It’s just really fun and it’s also competitive,” he said. The Coshocton High School eleventh grader has attended Plugged and Unplugged for Teens for at least the last two years. “It’s a good way to get away from the stress and drama of school,” Peyatt said. Jennifer Ricketts, young adult coordinator at the library, said the program also teaches teens life skills. “There are house rules, but they set up the games and decide how to rotate,” she said. “They also have a sense of community here. They may not be completely comfortable somewhere else, but here they know this is their place and they can be who they are.” Devin Nation, a seventh grader at Coshocton High School learned about the program from his older brother. “You get to hang out with your friends here,” he said. Nation said he mostly spends his time at Plugged and Unplugged on the computer listening to music. Autumn Thornburg , an eleventh grader at
