The Coshocton Community Science Fair was Friday, Jan. 28 at the Coshocton County Career Center. Pictured here is Skyler Wright presenting his project to judges Susan Myers and Susan Gordon. Skylor’s project was testing to see if black marker has different colors in it and if it does, which liquid best removes those colors. The judges were so impressed that Skyler is one of the ten students who are advancing to the Regional Science Fair at The University of Mt. Union on March 26. Beacon photo by beth scott

Opinion

Mark’s Musings

Crows, crows and more crows. What we really need to be saying – and writing – is “Bye, Bye Birdie!” By the time most of you receive and read this edition of The Coshocton County Beacon, the winter ice storm may have come and went – or not arrived at all. But we have an interesting proposal that combines the talents of several area groups – and the weather must cooperate in this one. Let’s presume the ice storm cometh – as we all know, ice is heavy. Downed power lines, trees and other damage can be the result of an ice storm. But we can possibly make this work for us this time around. Somehow we need to get the crows up and flying during the ice storm (pyrotechnics) – as they are flying along hundreds or thousands of feet in the air – and doing whatever crows do as they fly from one destination to another – the ice slowly gathers on their tawdry blueblack wings and they begin tumbling from the sky. Laden such as they are with ice – they can’t possibly support that much weight - the crows are no more. Old Man Winter – 1, Coshocton Crows – 0. Yes, I know what you’re thinking; Mark has either flipped out or has way too much time on my hands. Take your pick. Hey, it’s an idea. But seriously, our local governmental agencies deserve some for taking a stand and making a determined effort at this nagging problem. It’s time for the big game prediction. Steelers will be victorious over the Packers – 28 to 17. Tell me your

prediction – send me an email: mark@ coshoctoncountybeacon.com. Speaking of the impending weather that may or may not affect our area this week – what has happened to our pioneering spirit that settled this great nation of vast distances and weather extremes? Today it seems that the slightest hint of a wintry storm brings people flocking to the grocery stores to stock up – stock up on what? I mean, really, have you ever considered how somewhat foolish (please, please, please, I’m begging here that my wife does not read this column because we all do it) this really is in the year 2011? I can’t recall the last time I failed to get down the driveway and make it to the big city (February, 2010) let alone lost power and heat for several days (December, Christmas ice storm 2005?) Well, based on all of that, I guess . . . I’M HEADIN’ TO THE STORE! GOTTA GET SOME BREAD AND MILK, LAUNDRY DETERGENT, BOTTLED WATER, ETC., ETC. ETC. And of course all the special treats for the big game this Sunday.

The city of Coshocton has become a live scene out of Alfred Hitchcock’s, “The Birds”. Every night, thousands upon thousands of crows fly into the city to make their roost, or home, mostly at the Courtsquare and other well-lit areas around town. Not only are they noisy pests, but they leave their evidence all over the place, on sidewalks, benches, buildings, and cars. Crows in Coshocton County were a little wary Thursday night as a group of county and city volunteers set off pyrotechnics to try and scare away the more than five thousand crows who seem to have made the city of Coshocton

Broadway, Wellston, Ohio In Ohio, 51 counties are currently under gypsy moth quarantine regulations. Gypsy moths are invasive insects that attack trees and shrubs by defoliation. In its caterpillar stage, the moth feeds on the leaves of trees and shrubs and is especially fond of oak. A healthy tree can usually withstand only two years of defoliation before it is permanently damaged or dies. To combat this problem, the department uses different types of treatment strategies to slow the spread of gypsy moth in Ohio. Officials have three programs aimed to manage the pest, including: • The “Suppression” program, which occurs in counties where the pest is already established but landowners voluntarily request treatment to help suppress populations. • The “Slow-the-Spread” program, which occurs in counties in front of the larger, advancing gypsy moth population. In these counties, officials work to detect and control isolated populations in an effort to slow the overall advancing gypsy moth infestation. • The “Eradication” program, which occurs in areas not infested where an isolated population occurs because citizens have carried the pest to the area through infested firewood or outdoor equipment. Department officials work through aggressive eradication efforts to eliminate gypsy moth from these areas. Treatments used for gypsy moth control include: • Foray (Btk), a microbial compound naturally found in some agricultural and forest insects • Mating disruption product, flakes or liquid that disrupt the male moth’s ability to locate females for mating • Dimilin, an insecticide that attacks gypsy moth larvae • Gypchek, a bio-insecticide specifically used

Park National Corporation reports fourth quarter and year end 2010 financial results ZANESVILLE, Ohio – Park National Corporation (NYSE Amex: PRK) (Park) has reported financial results for the three months ended December 31, 2010 and the year ended December 31, 2010. Park’s Board of Directors also declared a $0.94 per common share quarterly cash dividend, payable on March 10, 2011 to common shareholders of record on February 25, 2011. Park’s net income was $74.2 million for each of the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009. Net income for the 2010 fourth quarter was $12.7 million, a slight increase from $12.3 million earned in the same period in 2009. The issuance of common shares over the last four quarters resulted in a decline in net income per diluted common share compared to last year. Net income per diluted common share for the 2010 year was $4.51, a 6.4 percent decline from the $4.82 reported in 2009. Net income per diluted common share for the 2010 fourth quarter was $0.73, a 1.4 percent decline from $0.74 in the fourth quarter of 2009. Park, excluding Vision Bank (Park’s Ohiobased operations), reported net income of $103.5 million for the 2010 year, compared to 2009 net income of $104.3 million. This performance resulted in return on assets of 1.58 percent and

1.61 percent for Park’s Ohio-based operations in 2010 and 2009, respectively. Additionally, Park’s two Ohio-based subsidiaries, The Park National Bank and Guardian Financial Services Company, generated record earnings in the 2010 year. Loan growth for Park’s Ohio-based operations was $128.7 million, or 3.2 percent, during 2010. Nonperforming loans for Park’s Ohio-based operations increased by $32.2 million in 2010, ending the year at $121.0 million, or 2.96 percent of period-end loans. Of the $32.2 million increase in nonperforming loans, $26.7 million was due to loans purchased from Vision Bank subsequent to Park’s 2007 acquisition. Without these loan purchases, Park’s Ohio-based operations would have experienced a $5.5 million increase in nonperforming loans in 2010. “We are very pleased with our results in Ohio. Interest rates for 15- and 30-year home loans during 2010, combined with our local servicing, were especially appealing,” said Park Chairman C. Daniel DeLawder. “More than 20 percent of the home loans we refinanced in Ohio last year were for clients whose original loan was from another lender. It remains a very attractive time to borrow money. We have it to lend and we continue to welcome opportunities to lend to individuals and businesses alike.” In 2010, Park continued to proactively increase its allowance for loan losses, providing additional reserves for future losses in the loan portfolio. At December 31, 2010, the allowance 618 Walnut Street for loan losses was www.PlusOnePizza.com $121.4 million, a 4.0 percent increase compared to $116.7

Ohio Chamber offers up ideas for Redesigning Ohio

Linda Woggon, vice-president of Governmental affairs for the Ohio Chamber of Commerce was the guest speaker at the Coshocton County Chamber of Commerce economic development breakfast, held Thursday morning, Jan. 27 at Roberta’s Catering & Banquet Center in Coshocton. The Ohio Chamber of Commerce recently completed an exhaustive study and report on Redesigning Ohio, “Transforming Government into a 21st Century Institution”. The study was the result of the combined efforts of Ohio’s eight metropolitan chambers of commerce and the Ohio Chamber of Commerce. The report was designed to offer up solutions and recommendations for transforming our state due to an unprecedented fiscal crisis yet is not intended to be a proposed solution to the estimated $6 to $8 billion state budget deficit we are facing. The

#5 Council House One Delaware tribe, told of through the journal of Christopher Gist, had built 40 – 80 houses out of bark, logs, mud and limbs in two parallel lines with a street running through the middle and a council house in the center. This council house was located on the corner of present day Second and Main Street. This is also where Col. Henry Bouquet accepted the hand of the village Native chief in friendship with the promised return of 206 white captives. This “Beacon Bicentennial Bit” was reprinted with permission and taken from the Coshocton County Sesquicentennial book compiled by the Coshocton County Historical Committee and printed by Shaw-Barton in 1961.

The handmade wooden case the flag was presented in was four feet wide, four inches tall and four feet deep to symbolize the 444 days the Americans were in captivity. The flag eventually was presented to former president, Jimmy Carter. All information was obtained from microfilm of the Coshocton Tribune at the Coshocton County Library.

February 7th, 1971 The Footlight Players were proudly presenting the most unique and challenging production they had ever done: “Don’t Drink the Water”, a comedy by Woody Allen. Everything from costumes to props to lighting, sound and make-up had their fair share of challenges with making young actors look old, rigging search lights and gun shots, performing a real magic act essential to the plot, and making a window appear one minute and be gone the next. Although the play was a comedy and a spoof, director Lucie Adger thought the audience would recognize world situations and issues in the play as well. She recommended seeing it twice so the audience could catch more of the funny bits they missed the first time around.

Ohio Chamber felt it was a fiscal responsibility as a leading economic development organization and, according to the executive summary, “our recommendations target specific ideas in key areas of state government; with a focus on those that are particularly well suited to private sector solutions”, (Redesigning Ohio, Executive Summary, 2). The report offers up a road map for longterm, transformational change as well as meaningful recommendations for tackling our (state of Ohio) current fiscal crisis. The approximately fifty page report is accompanied by an Executive Summary, and the entire contents can be located through the Ohio Chamber of Commerce website at www. ohiochamber.com. The report can be accessed via a link located about two thirds down the home page. Essentially, the report targeted ten different areas for government reform. They include: Budgeting for Outcomes, Charter Agencies, Entrepreneurial Management, Government Regulations, Tax Expenditures, Civil Service, Pension Benefits, Health Care, Criminal Justice and Local Governments. And although space prevents us from providing more details on the proposals, we suggest you visit the Ohio Chamber of Commerce website mentioned above and click on the link to read the report.

February 2nd, 1951 It’s never too late to be saved and nobody knew that better than Ned Ellis, a former convict who had recently turned from his wicked ways and found the Lord. He told his life story at the West Baptist Church in Coshocton and conducted nightly meetings there for a week. His life of crime started at the age of nine and as a man, he served a sentence for armed robbery in the Minnesota State Penitentiary. He was also a former dope addict and alcoholic. His life story began at 7:30 p.m. that night with a worship service.

And when he returned to Spain in 1528, he took some of the wondrous beans back to Charles V, his King. Cortez had a suspicion that if this bitter beverage were blended with cane sugar, not only would it be more agreeable to European tastes, but it could become quite the delicacy. He was right. The Spaniards mixed the beans with sugar, vanilla, nutmeg, clove, allspice, and cinnamon. The resulting concoction became the drink of the nobility - a secret Spain managed to keep from the rest of the world for almost 100 years. All chocolate products start with the cacao tree.

Within the Forastero group are cacaos from Brazil, West Africa, Equador, Latin America, Java, and Sri Lanka. The third group, Trinitarios, is the result of breeding between Trinidad Criollos and Amazon Forasteros. The cacao tree, which ranges from 15 to 25 feet high at maturity, is planted in sheltered, areas in moist, tropical climates. It needs plenty of rainfall and adequate drainage to mature.

Delicious, delectable, soothing and, yes, American. Chocolate was a New World discovery, one of the most sought-after treasures brought back to Europe from the brave new land across the Atlantic. Cacao, from which chocolate is created, is said to have originated in the Amazon at least 4,000 years ago. The Aztecs were so enthralled with the bean that they attributed its creation to their god Quetzalcoatl who, as the legend goes descended from heaven on a beam of a morning star carrying a cacao tree stolen from paradise. In fact, the Aztecs valued the cacao bean so much that they used it as currency. The Aztecs also used the cacao beans to prepare a thick, cold, unsweetened drink called chocolatl - a liquid so prestigious that it was served in golden goblets that were thrown away after one use. Christopher Columbus, in 1502, was the first European to run across the beans on his fourth voyage to the New World. Hernando Cortez, however, was a man with his eye on a golden doubloon. While he was fascinated with Aztec’s bitter, spicy beverage, he was more impressed by the fact that cacao beans were used as Aztec currency. In 1519 he established in the name of Spain a cacao plantation where “money” could be cultivated.

Information on real estate taxes Janette Donaker, Coshocton County Treasurer, announces the first half 2010 Real Estate tax bills have been mailed and are due March 2. Taxpayers will see changes in the tax amount due to the following changes: - County-wide taxpayers will see an increase due to the .4 Mill OSU Extension Levy passed in November 2010 - Property owners in Coshocton City School District will see an increase due to 3.66 mill bond and facilities levies approved by voters in May 2010 - Property owners in Pike township will see an increase due to a replacement fire levy passed November 2009 - Taxpayers in Ridgewood Local School District may see a slight decrease due to the early pay off of a school bond issue. - Warsaw will see an increase due to replacement current expense and road levies passed in November 2009 Extensions for payments are available for members of the National Guard and Armed Forces Reserves who are called to active or other duty. Contact the Treasurer’s Office for an application. As a reminder to property owners turning 65 years of age or older sometime during 2011, if

Frosty the Snowman

you own and live in your home, you are eligible for a homestead reduction to your real estate taxes. Applications are available and must be filed at the auditor’s office. As a cost-saving measure, any tax bill with a zero balance will not be mailed. To avoid a 10% penalty, payments can be made at the following locations: Treasurer’s Office drive-thru window at the annex, Home Loan Savings Bank, Century National Bank, Ohio Heritage Bank, Official Payments (credit card payments) 1-800-272-9829, Jurisdiction Code 4524: www.officialpayments.com, and by mail. Failure to receive a real estate tax bill does not eliminate the responsibility to pay. If you feel you have taxes due, and you did not receive a tax bill, call the treasurer’s office at 622-2731.

Keim Lumber Company held their annual Contractor Appreciation Night on Thursday, Jan. 27. The event is based on a threefold foundation: Appreciation, Education and Fellowship. Registration for this year’s event included nearly 300 contractor accounts, over 900 contractor attendees, and over 100 product representatives. In 2010 even with the economic difficulties, Keim Lumber Company saw a nice increase in sales according to Keim’s vice president, Robbie Keim. Part of that success is due to the great relationships Keim has with their contractor customers. Robbie adds that we have been holding these contractor events for many years (since 1993). “We want our customers to know that we appreciate them. The event is a lot of work, but it is worth it.” These events have proven to be beneficial to all involved, Keim Lumber, Keim’s product vendors and to the contractors. Keim wants their contractors to get to know the Keim staff, with whom they deal. Some only have contact through the phone lines. Contractor appreciation night gives the opportunity to meet face to face which is the best way to develop a good relationship. Another benefit of Keim’s contractor appreciation night is the connection between contractors and product vendors. Robbie Keim notes that Keim Lumber Company offers so many products and services that it is difficult to communicate that information. The event allows vendors and Keim Lumber to introduce new products and services. In addition it enables Keim and their vendors a chance to find out what products and services the contractors would like to have. In recent years Keim has added educational seminars to the contractor night schedule. These seminars are intended to give contactors additional information and training to become even more successful. According to David Beachy, Keim Lumber’s sales manager, “This is a partnership and our number one goal is to help our customers grow and improve their business.” Two seminars were held during the afternoon with Paul Winans of Winans Construction, Inc., and Nathan Vaughn and Matt Mullen with the law firm of Krugliak, Wilkins, Griffiths & Dougherty, Co., LPA. Winans shared tips on more effective use of a contractors time, while Vaughn and Mullen provided hundreds of interested guests a presentation on Contractors Legal Basics. A recognized leader of the remodeling industry, Paul Winans is founder, with his wife Nina, of Winans Construction, Inc., an Oakland, California firm frequently awarded for excellence since its inception in 1978.

Chocolate.............................................. article continued from page 12

The fermented beans turn to a rich brown color - a sign that they are ready for drying. In many cases, this is accomplished simply by spreading the beans on trays or bamboo matting and leaving them in the sun. If the climate conditions interfere with this drying drying process, the beans may be dried over hot air pipes. After drying, they are put into bags for shipping to chocolate factories all over the world. After crossing the sea, beans are stored at factories either in silos or in their original sacks in warehouses. These rooms are well aired, kept at cool temperature and the humidity regularly checked. Before the production stage, the beans are sorted and cleaned. Like coffee, cocoa does not acquire the richness of its color and the fullness of its flavor until it is roasted. The degree of care given to this operation has considerable influence on Marriages: Wilber D. Donley of Coshocton to Eva Esther Corder the ultimate quality of the end product - either cocoa powder or chocolate.

and quality of the chocolate. After the cocoa paste, cocoa butter, milk, sugar and additional flavorings have been carefully weighed out in accordance with the recipe, they go into a mixer where rotating, kneading arms thoroughly mix all the ingredients. The result is a homogeneous, paste-like mixture which is already pleasant to taste, but still feels gritty to the palate. The finished mixture again goes through rolling machinery which pulverizes the tiny particles of cocoa and sugar even further to give the chocolate its smooth, eating texture. The paste is transported to conching machines which heat and stir the paste in the last and most important refining process. Conching allows the separate flavors of the individual ingredients to combine. As the paste is stirred, cocoa butter is added which makes the chocolate ready for molding. As the chocolate turns over in the conching machine, a controlled amount of air ventilates the mass, allowing the full aroma and flavor to develop. Nestle’s recipe for milk chocolate is still close to the origingal Swiss formula invented by Henri Nestle and Daniel Peter. For chocolate lovers, the result is a rich, smooth, creamy “mouthfeel”. The still-warm conched chocolate is placed in a tempering machine so that it can be slowly and steadily cooled. The tempering prevents separation in the chocolate when it’s filled into bar molds and hardens. Proper tempering also results in a silky sheen and crisp “snap” when broken - another sign of a superior quality chocolate bar. You may think milk chocolates are all alike. Not so. The quality of milk chocolate depends upon a number of factors including the kind of cacao beans and other ingredients used, the formulation, as well as the length of time the chocolate is conched and the care taken in its preparation. To determine the “best” milk chocolate, use the following criteria: • Appearance--Fine chocolate should be rich in color, with a smooth, glossy surface. Cracked or dull-colored chocolate is an indication of poor quality. • Snap--High quality chocolate should have a decisive “snap” when it is broken. • Aroma--A strong chocolaty aroma - not one that’s fruity or flowery - indicates good chocolate. • Mouthfeel--Fine milk chocolate should feel creamy and melt smoothly across the palate. The extra fine creamy texture is achieved by conching (agitation/blending) ingredients. The longer the conching, the creamier the chocolate. • Taste--The taste of high quality milk chocolate should be rich, sweet and chocolaty never harsh or bitter.
