There’s a new paper in town. Well, not really.

A newspaper resurfaces after hiding from the public for more than 100 years. It’s a paper hardly anyone ever knew existed, until now.

As early as 1880 until at least 1910, there was a weekly German paper published in Coshocton County. The Coshocton Wochenblatt, translated The Coshocton Weekly in English, was started

by L.L. Cantwell and Henry Mining. It’s first number was issued on Oct. 2, 1880, but the paper has ceased to exist. Only the Nov. 29, 1906 issue remains and can be viewed on microfilm at the Coshocton Public Library. However, one local Coshocton resident has a paper copy of one of the original January 1910 editions.

Reni Akers has been living in the United States since 1960 and has been a resident of Coshocton since 1963. She was working at the IGA when “Mad” Marshall Jacobs approached her and gave her a copy of a 1910 edition of the German newspaper, The Coshocton Wochenblatt.

He told Reni that the Coshocton Tribune had given it to him. Akers and Jacobs, dubbed the “human fly” because of climbing the Courthouse and getting married on top of a flagpole, had become good friends. Akers said he would stop in the IGA and talk with her, and thought of her when he received the paper. She was happy to receive the paper and was delighted that it was in fairly good condition. To make sure it stayed in that condition, she covered it in shelving paper so the words can still be read.

The Coshocton Wochenblatt was the only German newspaper in town. A large amount of the county had been settled by Germans, especially in the northeastern townships. They spoke German at home, at school, in church, and apparently, in their newspapers. They printed their paper in the Gothic script, which is very hard to read, even to people who speak German.

The old German script, called Kurrent, evolved from the gothic cursive handwriting and began in the first part of the 16th Century and lasted until 1941.

The edition Akers has has three front-page

the forgotten coshocton wochenblatt

This may look like an ordinary old newspaper, but it’s The Coshocton Wochenblatt, the forgotten newspaper of Coshocton County. The Coshocton Wochenblatt was a German newspaper that began it’s publication in 1880. Reni Akers of Coshocton, moved from Germany to the United States in 1960 and has acquired one of the January 1910 editions, pictured here. Beacon

columns of local news. She sat down for three days and painstakingly translated the first three columns into English.

“I want the people to know what went on 100 years ago,” said Akers. “It’s not much different than today. I want Coshocton people to know that we’ve had a different kind of paper here.”

The rest of the paper is world news and even has one article dealing with the murder of millions of birds to make feathers for ladies’ hats. Inside, there is a continuous story about a murder mystery and on the back page, there are market reports, deliquent tax information, and ads. Some of the ads include the Burns building and Pomerene and Pomerene, who were lawyers at the time. It also has an ad for whisky. Bring in your bottle and this place would fill it up for you for a buck.

Sadly, the German paper is no longer available in Coshocton County. There was no information available as to when the last publication appeared. It is speculated that the First World War had something to do with it’s demise.

“I think it dimished because of the war,” said Akers. “The First World War started in 1914 and Germans were looked down upon.”

Mark’s Musings

Okay, this is starting to be very reminiscent of Jack Nicholson in “The Shining”. I AM TIRED OF THE SNOW AND COLD! And yea, I know, I will be complaining about the heat and humidity in August.

But isn’t that what we enjoy doing – complaining about the weather? I mean, what else would you talk about sometimes? The 7 hour Daytona 500?

I guess the folks in Florida finally found out what having potholes caused by the constant freezing and refreezing of pavement means!

Have you heard the ads on WTNS that make reference to the “Performance Tax”? This is currently a bill in both the House (H.R. 848) and the Senate (S. 379) that would allow the major record labels to assess a fee when a radio station plays a song. The fee would be paid to the record label and then to the singer, etc., etc. Your guess is as good as mine as to how much of that money would really make it all the way to the performer. What is Congress thinking? Let’s just keep hammering away at THE BUSINESSES (radio stations, etc.)

THAT CREATE OUR JOBS – do you sometimes think that the goal is for all of us to work for the government? Did you know that there are now more government workers than manufacturing jobs in the U.S.? You should be just a little bit

alarmed about that.

You can find out more about this tax at: www. noperformancetax.org.

The site is sponsored by the National Association of Broadcasters.

Now, for your current information, there are four (4) major record labels in existence today – they are; Warner Mark fortune Music Group, EMI, Sony Music Entertainment and Universal Music Group.

Oh, three of the four are foreign owned. Do a quick search of “major record label ownership” and you can find this information out via Wikipedia.

Are you thinking, shoot, I am just one person – what difference can I make in all of this? That is the wrong way to think. The internet provides a wonderful opportunity for you to find out just what is happening outside our little world here in Coshocton County and even the great Buckeye state. Keep your eyes – and your mind – open. Start communicating with your elected legislators – and let them know what you are thinking. It would

City Service Director expresses appreciation Letter to the editor by Jerry Stenner Coshocton City Service Director Jerry Stenner passed this along to The Beacon for publication regarding the recent winter snowstorm and the efforts of city workers.

I am very proud of all of our city workers who contributed to the effort. Rob Duffy, Street Superintendent, has put together an around the clock game plan utilizing, not only all of our street workers, but also workers from our water, wastewater and cemetery departments.

Pulling together we have been able to maintain roadways for emergency vehicles, businesses and those who must be

on our city streets. And even our city trash haulers, J & J Refuse, have been able to run their regular trash routes, although under very difficult conditions. In the midst of everything else our firefighters made a water rescue and fought a house fire. All in all I believe we have held up pretty well and, yes, I am very proud of their performance.

I would also like to thank all of our citizens for being very patient and understanding with our crews during this recent snow emergency.

Coshocton City Service Director, Jerry Stenner

be presumptuous to think that they know what is happening – and more importantly – how people are thinking - outside the beltway.

Locally, the streets are mostly passable, the highways are clean and most of the kids in the area have not been to school for over a week.

What are you folks doing with your kids during these calamity days? Are they just hanging out at a friend’s house, a relative or have they built a giant snowman? If so, send us your pictures – email them to mark@coshoctoncountybeacon.com. We would love to publish some cool photos of snowmen – or snowwomen – or snow children.

Now, back to “The Shining”. Instead of hedges, I have started working on a snow maze at home. And a late night snowball fight this past week taught my son that Dad knows a thing or two about hiding in a snow bank or making a lot of snowballs at one time. I wondered how I caught this sniffle. But I think he got the best of me when a frontal assault resulted in a snowball smack dab in the middle of my forehead. Enjoy the snow. It will be 90 degrees with 90% humidity before you know it.

From The Coshocton Wochenblatt January 1910 - Coshocton has officially 116 cars.

- In the month of December, 26 persons were arrested because of drunkenness, even though we don’t have a single bar.

- The grand jury met for only five hours. Four cases were reported and eleven witnesses were questioned. Only one complaint deemed important.

sanitary sewage collection system to serve about 50 homes in the unincorporated and unsewered area of Fresno; and the addition of a pump station and force main to convey the wastewater from the cheese company andFresno to the West Lafayette treatment plant. One of Ohio EPA’s priorities is to have Fresno’s sewage treated through a centralized wastewater collection system, so bacteria in raw or partially treated sewage from failing home septic systems will no longer present a potential health hazard or pollute White Eyes Creek.

This construction is the first phase of a three-part regional water pollution control plan.

The second phase is the upgrade to the West Lafayette wastewater treatment plant, allowing it to serve as a treatment facility for the entire region, including additional homes in the West Lafayette area. In the third phase, the Pearl Valley Cheese Company will construct a wastewater pre-treatment facility to serve its operations.

To investigate concerns about a potential public health risk associated with raw or poorly treated sewage, Ohio EPA sampled and confirmed high levels of fecal coliform bacteria in Fresno in 2003 and 2004. The Agency also confirmed odors and persistent unsanitary conditions in 2005 when the Coshocton County Health District issued a written complaint about untreated sanitary sewage discharges. Ohio EPA ordered the county to take necessary steps to construct, maintain and operate sewer services for the Fresno area.

Coshocton County has long pursued sewer utilities for Fresno, but the projects have never been this affordable. The total cost of the first phase of the regional plan is approximately $3.2 million. The stimulus funding of $2.14 million will save users of the system about $3.2 million in principal and interest over 20 years when compared to the cost of financing the project through market rate loans. In recent weeks, construction began on the phase one project, and it’s expected to be complete later this year.

The ARRA funds are being administered

Since Ohio EPA cannot be present to attend Coshocton County’s groundbreaking ceremony for the Fresno and Pearl Wastewater System project on President’s Day, Feb. 15, 2010 (a holiday for state employees), Ohio EPA Director Chris Korleski is issuing a statement to extend his congratulations to the Coshocton County Commissioners, Pearl Valley Cheese Company and the communities of Fresno and West Lafayette.

“This is a very good day for Coshocton County, and Ohio EPA is celebrating with you,” said Ohio EPA Director Chris Korleski.

“Coshocton County is like hundreds of local communities all across Ohio that are being helped by this much needed stimulus funding.

Ohio is appreciative of President Obama and Ohio’s Congressional members for recognizing the need to put Ohioans back to work, while investing in drinking water and water pollution control facilities. I am very pleased that Ohio EPA is able to provide Coshocton County $2.14 million in American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) funds. The funds for this important sewer project will provide multiple jobs and further stimulate Ohio’s economy. Better wastewater services will benefit the Pearl Valley Cheese Company and the village of West Lafayette, helping bring even more jobs and an overall economic boost to the region. These funds also will help protect public health and safety and improve water quality in the area. Ohio EPA staff has worked very hard to see sanitary sewers installed in the currently underserved area of Fresno. As unsanitary water conditions are eliminated and unsafe sewage is properly treated and kept out of White Eyes Creek, the quality of life for many Ohioans will be improved.”

Recently, Ohio EPA announced that $2.14 million was awarded to Coshocton County to build wastewater facilities in three areas – the installation of a sewage pump station and force main to convey wastewater from the Pearl Valley Cheese Company; the addition of a

Sweet Adelines invites women to sing

with you. For many years, the Coshocton County Senior Center has been having a party to celebrate Valentine’s Day. Guests sat back sipping their red punch and listening to the musical talents of Max Hardesty, who entertained with a variety of love songs. Mr. Hardesty, pictured here, is a regular at the center and sings there every month. He also provided the music for the cake walk today. Amy Scott, one of the staff members at the senior center, made six beautifully decorated heart-shaped cakes. Four cakes had “Happy Valentine’s Day” piped on them while the other two said “Love Bug” and “Be Mine”. They also played a guessing game with a Valentine’s Day jar filled with candy. Everyone received a treat bag during the party as well. The senior center is also in the early stages of planning a spring dance. Beacon photo by

according to Kathy Thompson, executive director.

Upon the closing of the Rainbow Children’s Center, its P.T.O. had a balance remaining in its treasury. It was the group’s decision to establish a scholarship fund, which will provide a $500 annual award to a graduating senior who attended Rainbow as a youth.

The scholarship will be awarded for the first time in 2017, which will be the first year for a student who attended Rainbow in 2010 to graduate from high school. The award will be available for a student from Coshocton, Ridgewood and River View High Schools, the Coshocton County Career Center or the Coshocton Christian School.

Advisors for the fund at the Coshocton Foundation will be Lori Monroy and Beccy Porteus.

“Rainbow was an important provider of day care and children’s education in Coshocton for many years,” Thompson said. “The closing is very sad, but we believe this scholarship fund is a fitting and excellent legacy for the Rainbow Children’s Center.”

Contributions to the fund are tax-deductible and may be sent to the Coshocton Foundation, P.O. Box 55, Coshocton, noted for the “Rainbow Scholarship Fund.

Duda honored for 20 years as Deacon Andy Duda is well known in the region as an educator, coach, principal and as a deacon at Sacred Heart Catholic Church. In fact, this week marks his 20th anniversary serving as deacon and a reception honoring him was on Sunday.

Duda is a graduate of Muskingum College with a degree in education. He also has a master’s degree from Xavier College. He began his teaching career at John Glenn where he also coached football, track, and baseball and initiated their wrestling program.

“At John Glenn, I taught phys. ed., health, math and Ohio history,” he said. “I then went on to become principal at their elementary building.”

While at John Glenn, Duda was instrumental in their project of building a new open concept middle school. He then went on to the River View district where he started their occupational work adjustment program and coached football and track.

“After spending a year or two working with the special education program at River View, I went on to take the position as principal at Conesville,” he said. “I was there for eleven years before moving to Keene as principal for the next five years.”

After a brief retirement (the first one), Duda returned to River View as a temporary principal at the junior high. He then ‘retired’ again for a year before taking the post as principal at Sacred Heart School, where he served for five years. He then retired again, but continued to assist at the school.

As busy as his life has been over the years, Duda still was able to sense a strong calling to a ministry of service to God. “It’s important when you feel this calling to listen to how God is touching your heart,” said

su ann and andy duda

Duda.

To become a deacon, Duda was required to go through an interview process through the Diocese in Columbus.

“They look at your spiritual journey, qualifications and your resume,” he said. “Then they screen the applicants. In our class, it ended up being five of us who went through the five year process to become a deacon.”

Duda was still a principal at Conesville Elementary when he began his deacon classes in Columbus, which involved approximately one weekend each month for five years.

“I feel very humbled to have been selected to have this opportunity to serve,” he said. “We were also blessed that we were able to take our wives with us on those weekends when we had classes.”

Duda explains that the position of deacon in the Catholic Church is a lifelong commitment.

by jan myers “At the age of 70 you can retire, but you still have some duties,” he said. “Our commitment is actually to the bishop, not just the local congregation. We often serve in another parish in our Deanery, which includes Millersburg, Dover, Zoar, Newcomerstown, Dennison and New Philadelphia. Not all parishes have a deacon, so we are often needed to fill a role at these other churches. We are fortunate to have two at Sacred Heart. Doug Mould also serves as deacon here.”

As a deacon, Duda has duties as required throughout the Deanery to handle funerals, weddings, confirmations, baptisms, first communions and to assist with Mass.

“As deacon, I am responsible to proclaim the Gospel and to preach,” he said. “One of my roles right now is to serve as pastoral minister, visiting shut-ins. I pray with them and take them communion. I also teach a bible class covering the Old Testament.”

Duda says he has also been very blessed to have worked with the wonderful staff and the four priests at Sacred Heart since he became deacon.

“But the greatest blessing to me has been to have my wife, Su Ann, as my support,” he said.

“I can say it from the mountaintops –I couldn’t have done it without her!”

“The deacon’s role is to be a servant,” said Duda, “just as Jesus served by washing his disciples’ feet. I have found that as I go out and serve, I feel more filled with God. When I visit the sick or the shut-ins, I find that I am more enriched and fulfilled because of God and His blessings, and the way He is working through me. I am truly appreciative to have the opportunity to serve God in this way.”

lot of fun memories.” This was also Kent’s last summer in the Youth Choir.

The choir has been called “College 101” because this is the first time a lot of these high school students have been away from home for more than a few days. Although this idea might be a little scary to the kids at first, eventually, the fair becomes like home. When the fair is over and it’s time to go home, most members of the choir miss their home at the fair.

“It’s their first time of being away from home and all of it’s conveniences,” said Mr. Charles R Snyder, director. “There’s no Internet or TV and it’s where people discover the simple joys of talking, laughing, walking together. In a way, it’s a microcosm of life. It’s that harmony off the risers that makes the harmony on the risers so beautiful. There’s a mystery about it too. I think it’s God’s spirit.”

Luckily, the last day of the fair isn’t the last time these choir members get together to sing.

Every February, they gather in Coshocton to have their annual reunion concert.

Last Saturday, members and staff of the choir met at 1 p.m. and practiced and polished their songs from last summer. The next day, Sunday, they gave their concert and sang only a handful of the songs they performed at the fair. They entered the auditorium through the aisles running to the beat of drums and clapping their hands in time, just as they did during the fair. Their energy and enthusiasm for the songs they were singing throughout the concert was incredible, but should come as no surprise for these high school students. They were doing something they loved, and it showed through their performance on stage.

“The Youth Choir is special because it provides an atmosphere where high schoolers can nurture themselves into who they want to be without the pressures of the high school

world,” said Alex Daw, staff member for five years, “They get to be the person they want to be without any pressure.”

Although the choir’s main goal is teaching music and how to maintain vocal health, which is needed when singing over 100 concerts in three weeks, the friendships are what matter the most.

“Those friendships are strong because they’re the real thing,” said Snyder, “They find out that their differences doesn’t really matter.”

The Youth Choir sang their last set with the Coshocton Community Choir, which is also under the direction of Mr. Snyder. The concert ended with the two choirs singing a rousing rendition of “The Battle Hymn of the Republic” arranged by Roy Ringwald, and then Garry Cornell’s version of the Irish Blessing in “The Song of Farewell”.

Editor’s Note: I was a member of the AllOhio State Fair Youth Choir from 2001 – 2004 and it was the best experience I have ever had in my life. I have known Mr. Snyder since I was eight years old and he has been a wonderful teacher, mentor and friend. This article is for all of my friends from the Youth Choir. Thanks for the memories guys. I love you all!

Youth Choir

The community of Coshocton was richly blessed with the gift of music on Valentine’s Day when about 200 members of the All-Ohio State Fair Youth Choir gave their annual reunion concert. The concert was at the Coshocton High School gymnasium at 3 p.m.

The Youth Choir is made up of 200 high school students from all over the state of Ohio.

They meet once a year for three weeks at the Ohio State Fair. During the fair, they memorize and polish over 60 songs and perform over 100 concerts every summer. If that wasn’t amazing enough, they also march over 10 miles every day to their concert sites and in the daily parade.

And it’s all because these kids have a passion for music.

“The Youth Choir is a different musical experience because the kids that come here love music and are willing to work hard to achieve good musical sound,” said Estella Sproat, staff member of the Youth Choir for eight years, “Mr. Snyder brings out the best in them both musically and in personality. He makes you want to give your best.”

The All-Ohio State Fair Youth Choir was founded in 1963 by Glenville Thomas, former music director at Zanesville High School.

Immediately, the choir took off and began doing amazing things. Thomas directed concerts in front of thousands of listeners at the State Fair, led them on many European tours, and took them to several national parades. He led the group for almost 30 years until his death in December of 1991. In 1992, Mr. Charles R Snyder of Coshocton was named director and the choir continued their amazing feats.

The 200 member choir is selected each spring from various high schools around the state based on musical ability and experience, maturity and personality. Each choir member also needs the recommendation of their high school choir director to participate.

One week before the fair, the magic begins.

The new and returning members of the choir meet at the Rhodes Center at the State Fair. During the first week, the choir begins to learn the songs they will perform during the fair. Schedule includes: wake up, eat breakfast, practice, eat lunch, practice, eat dinner, practice, sleep. This may seem a bit grueling, but it’s in this week that old friendships are strengthened and new friends that will last a lifetime are made.

“I’m going to miss all the friendships and having such a great musical experience,” said Anthony Bible of Coshocton. Last summer was Anthony’s last year at the fair and this was his last reunion concert.

During the fair, the magic continues. While blessing thousands of visitors to the fair with their gift of music, the choir also blesses each other.

“What I will miss the most is being with everybody,” said Kent Kirker of Coshocton.

“Just being able to sing at the fair. There’s a

organization for our community. It showcases all the arts including visual, performing and culinary.”

Several chocolate lovers attended the event for the first time including 10-year-old Lauren Prior. “The toffee mocha chocolate torte was my favorite,” she said. “The chocolate coated popcorn is also really good. I am taking a lot of my chocolate home and it should last me a few days.”

Lauren’s brother Matthew Prior, 13, says he likes chocolate but just in small doses. “I’m taking most of mine home to share with my dad,” he said.

Jane Cornett brought six of her friends to the extravaganza. “My friend Kay Croll and I have been to this before, and enjoyed it so much,” she said. “So, this year, along with Kay, there are several of us here having a fun time.”

Croll brought her granddaughter, Abigail Lochtefeld, who is a student at Kenyon College.

“I think it’s a wonderful event and everything was delicious,” said Lochtefeld.

Lois Murphy says she ate some of her chocolate, but was taking the rest home. “I especially enjoyed the chocolate coconut cake and the chocolate cheesecake,” she said.

Kristy Kestler says she enjoyed the snickers cheesecake, the German chocolate cake and the chocolate covered Oreos. “I try to come every year,” she said. “I think this is a great place to have this event, too.”

Linda Mapel was taking a lot of her chocolate home. “I’m taking mine home to share with my husband,” she said. “The white chocolate covered popcorn was excellent.”

John McPeek was also planning to share his chocolate. “I’m taking it all home,” he said. “My wife Bennie might get a bit of it. We’ll nibble on this for three or four days. Today is a special day for us. February 13, 1946 was the day I returned home from WWII. So this date has always been meaningful for us.”

Jessica and Seth Orban were first timers to the extravaganza. “We wanted to have some time out without the kids,” said Seth.

“The main reason we came is that we love chocolate!” said Jessica. “Plus, it’s a fun way to celebrate Valentine’s Day and support the

One of Coshocton’s sweetest fundraising events was held Saturday afternoon and it saw a record attendance. This was the 17th year for The Pomerene Center for the Arts’ Chocolate Extravaganza. The event was held at the fellowship hall at the Emmanuel Lutheran Church on Pleasant Valley Drive and it was full of chocolate and all those who love it.

Attendees also enjoyed live harp music by Paul and Brenda Neal and painting demonstrations

by Kelsey Schott. Gordon Graham was the raffle announcer. Business financial contributors for this year’s Extravaganza were Dean’s Jewelry and the Law Firm of Frase, Weir, Baker and McCullough.

Mickie Galajda and Mindy Brems were the co-chairs of this year’s event. “I felt it went exceptionally well,” said Galajda. “We have had more attendees than ever before and The Emmanuel Lutheran Church is a perfect venue.”

“We served approximately 350 (at $6 per person) and raised $361 with the raffle,” said Brems.

Galajda says they were especially pleased with the raffle items this year. Dixie Fishbaugh and Nancy Lapp ran the raffle table. “We had 13 items for the raffle this year, which is more than we’ve had in previous years,” said Fishbaugh.

“We had a torte and cheesecake from Mike Abood and Emma Brems’ award-winning chocolate cake. It won best of show at the Coshocton County Fair.”

Fishbaugh also made her famous chocolate roulade as a raffle item. Liberty Pottery donated several pottery platters for the raffle as well.

“Of course, the chocolates were just magnificent,” continued Galajda. “We had 77 bakers and many of them made extra items which was a good thing, because we had such a great crowd. We also have many people here from out of the area enjoying the extravaganza.”

Galajda says they also had 35 volunteers helping to make the event such a success.

“This is the major fundraiser for The Pomerene Center,” she said. “And the Center is such a great

James Morse, a registered Maine guide, provided over two dozen hunting enthusiasts with valuable tips and information on hunting bear in the north woods of Maine during a seminar at Woodbury Outfitters held Saturday, Feb. 13. Morse told the audience, some of whom have successfully hunted bear, that bear meat is, “The best meat you’ll ever eat”.

Morse, who operates a camp in the north woods of Maine, said that bears will travel fifty to one hundred miles for food. They don’t see really well but they can pick up movement.

“Most of hunting bear is about your scent”, Morse said. “This is where the majority of your effort and time needs to be spent, focusing on removing human scent from your clothing, body and footwear. I put my clothes in a sealed plastic tub with some pine branches from the area I am hunting. I use de-scented soap and wear rubber boots, nothing leather – that leather will carry your scent to the bear”.

“Bears are nocturnal animals and are pretty smart”, remarked Morse. “We like to be in our tree stand early and you need to be prepared to sit still for several hours. While I do not guarantee everyone that hunts with me a bear, I

Mood foods to beat the winter blues: Stay healthy this winter (ARA) - The holidays have come and gone, and the long haul to the first day of spring can certainly take a toll on mood and energy levels.

Don’t let the winter doldrums get you down.

Lifting your spirits may be as easy as eating the right mood foods.

Carbs to the rescue Yes, eat carbs. Carbohydrates trigger the release of serotonin, a hormone that reduces pain and regulates mood. Healthy carbohydrate foods that you should always keep on hand include whole grain breads and crackers, brown rice, cereal and fruits. Try spreading a small

amount of peanut butter on a sliced apple for a mid-afternoon snack. The natural carbs of the apple will help to relax your mind and improve focus. Additionally, the protein from the peanut butter provides a jolt of energy, keeping you full feeling until dinner.

In fact, canned tomatoes contain more nutrients and lycopene because they are pre-cooked, enhancing their nutritional content.

Go a little nutty, without really losing it The lull between lunch and the end of the work day can sometimes feel like an eternity, causing us to feel lethargic and irritable. Pull yourself out of the mid-afternoon slump with a handful of nuts or seeds, such as almonds, walnuts or sunflower seeds. The protein in nuts is perfect for a quick pick-me-up, and just a small handful packs a powerful punch of B6 vitamins key nutrients in the creation of mood-enhancing serotonin to calm anxiety. Keep a jar of raw almonds in your desk, or mix up your favorite trail mix for a homemade de-stress treat.

Nothing fishy about this Tuna packs a tasty trifecta of nutrients - inflammation-reducing omega-3s, emotionenhancing B vitamins and serotonin-increasing vitamin D. Tuna is a good source of lean protein, which helps to sharpen awareness and alertness.

Spread tuna on whole grain crackers for a quick lunch or for a stress-relieving dinner, reach in your pantry and toss tuna with a can of chopped spinach and whole wheat pasta to wind down after a long day.

Get moving It is no surprise that most Americans spend a significant amount of time each day traveling to and from work, sitting at a desk, staring at a computer, and then settling down on the sofa to watch hours of television. But experts recommend that everyone should get at least 30 minutes of exercise a day, which increases serotonin levels and gives you a natural high. This can even be accomplished in 10-minute intervals if you can’t always find a free half-hour. Walking is one of the most efficient and effective forms of exercising - it relieves stress, lifts your mood, and helps you get a better night’s sleep.

Avoid the crash Eat small meals or snacks every few hours to avoid peaks and valleys in blood sugar, and maintain positive energy levels. When you start to feel like you are running on empty, resist the urge to reach for caffeine. It’s good for a temporary lift, but too much caffeine is linked to depression, anxiety and mood swings, the latter which can make you crash even harder.

The most important thing is to set realistic, attainable goals and build activity and healthy eating into your daily routine. For more healthy eating tips to help boost your mood year-round, visit www.delmonte.com/solutions.

seniors at Coshocton High School, headed up a local effort to raise money for breast cancer awareness. The monies will go to the Stefanie Spielman Foundation. Kaityln said, “The response from the student body and everyone has been rewarding. My grandma had breast cancer so this is personal for me”. John Tignor stated, “A really close friend of mine had breast cancer.

I want to thank the community for all the support and especially to athletic director Mr. Hemming for his help and support”.

Choosing a theme of “We’re In It to End It”, the pair are pictured here in front of a banner proclaiming the effort. Adding to the excitement of “going pink”, the Redskins cheerleaders adorned themselves in pink socks while the student body appeared in a lot of pink shorts and shirts. And if that wasn’t enough, the Redskins went into overtime against the Claymont Mustangs before pulling out their first of three victories on successful nights at the Wigwam.

Advanced Energy – A new opportunity for Appalachian Business Growth

Firm hired to conduct Coshocton County Brownfield Assessment

on a Clean Ohio Assistance Fund application to conduct a Phase 2 environmental assessment on the former 79-acre General Electric (now owned

by SABIC, Inc.) industrial site on South Second Street in Coshocton.

Justice explained that the exercise is necessary for any community which hopes to identify, clean up, and potentially redevelop contaminated properties. He went on to say that there are significant amount of funds available at the state and federal level to assist with cleanup activities but each funding program requires an assessment such as this to be conducted first.

BJAAM is expected to begin its work in about 30 days with a scheduled completion date of Sept. 30, 2010. The U.S. EPA grant award was part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 and required no local match funds.

Robert Green, a Coshocton Boy Scout, was one of twelve Scouts in the United States to attend the national Boy Scout breakfast in Washington D.C. Accompanying this lucky Scout on his trip was Congressman J. Harry McGregor of West Lafayette from the 17th Ohio District. Each of the chosen Scouts presented a speech after breakfast.

Green spoke on conservation, life-saving and personal health. The Coshocton Scout was chosen to represent Region Four, which includes not only Ohio, but West Virginia and Kentucky as well.

Green attended Coshocton Central and participated in the Hi-Y club, student council and Sunday School. Before this Scout came home, he visited New York, Philadelphia and even had an interview with President Truman.

1960

February 21st, 1960 The Coshocton County FFA were joining with the nation in their celebration of National FFA week. At that time, the three schools in the county offering vocational agriculture had a total of 104 students enrolled in the program with 50 additional students attending evening classes. The National FFA had 380,000 members at the time, 9,000 local chapters and 11,600 members from Ohio. During this time, they also elected three new presidents of the local chapters. They were James Williamson of Warsaw, David Sturtz of West Lafayette, and Don Mason of Union. They were scheduled to take office on March 1.

1970

February 19th, 1970 The 75-foot canal boat, constructed by “Mad” Marshall Jacobs, was finally ready for its finishing touches. It was moved to the corner of Second and Chestnut Streets where Jacobs finished it.

The boat was 15 feet longer than Canal Fulton, which had been dedicated the previous July.

Jacobs had erected a fence around the structure and encouraged visitors to come and see him at work.

The power company also erected lights around the lot so Jacobs could finish work at night. The boat was then docked in the old canal bed at Lake Park after its completion where people were then able to take rides.

1980

January 13th, 1980 The Coshocton High School swim team ended their season on a high note when they beat the Ashland Arrows 91 - 74. This win brings the Redskin’s final record of the season to 9 – 6 and marks the first time in four years that Coshocton has been able to complete a regular season schedule. However, most members of the team were not able to swim due to illness. The coach was hoping that all ill members would be well and able to swim the following weekend at District Championships.

This was the ninth straight winning season for Coshocton.

All information was obtained from microfilm of the Coshocton Tribune at the Coshocton County Library.

The Coshocton Port Authority Board of Directors voted to hire BJAAM Environmental, Inc. of Canal Fulton to implement the activities outlined in two $200,000 U.S. Environmental Protection Agency grants awarded last fall. The agency received six proposals from firms which responded to a Request for Proposal (RFP) issued in December.

The grants allow for the port authority to develop a county wide inventory of brownfield sites and underground storage tank locations.

A community task force will be assembled to assist the consulting firm. Work will include a number of Phase 1 and Phase 2 environmental assessments with remedial action plans to be developed.

“BJAAM Environmental has established itself as a strong firm which has developed a good relationship with the port authority,” said Executive Director T.J. Justice.

Senior feature

by diane merrill

In keeping with our commitment to our readers and our community, The Coshocton County Beacon is pleased to introduce a new feature column that will focus on college seniors from our area. Mark Fortune, publisher and owner of The Beacon, said, “This feature will allow our readers to reconnect with our young people as they finish up their college education and athletics and begin pursuing a career. For many, this will be the end of many years enjoyed playing sports or being involved in other extracurricular activities. While we are beginning with athletes, we are not limiting the features.

Future spotlights may include the military, music or more. Please let us know what you think of this new column and if you know of a college senior that fits this, please let me know”. You can contact Mark Fortune via email, mark@ coshoctoncountybeacon.com or by phone 740622-4237.

A recent Coshocton County student-athlete will soon be a graduate of the collegiate realm, and the fever of playing on the court is familiar and bitter sweet as she knows it is soon coming to an end.

Whitney Williams, a member of the 2006 River View Division 2 State Championship Girls Basketball team, is in her final year and final season at Shawnee State. Williams, number 13, averages about 13 points a game for the Division 2 NAIA team.

Williams, the once “Black Bear” turned “Shawnee State Bear”, says the hype and excitement of being part of a state championship women’s basketball team is still contagious.

“The regional final game my senior year against Columbus De Sales was a game I will never forget because no one really thought we would actually win,” said Whitney. “The feeling of playing for a state championship is a feeling unlike no other. It was something I will never forget.”

Williams is a guard for the NAIA No. 8 ranked Shawnee State women’s basketball team.

She recently was a Shawnee State University Female Athlete of the Week. She helped the Bears to an 85-67 win over Houghton College and a 3-0 record in the AMC. Williams tallied 15 points in the game as she went 5-for-5 from beyond the arc. She also pulled down two rebounds, had two steals, and one assist in the game.

Her father, Fred Williams says that kind of game atmosphere is still great to see and so are the followers.

“When you have the success we had in high school in winning a state championship, that’s hard to top,” her father said. “The Shawnee State women’s program has a group of faithful supporters called the “Golden Bears” which are retired senior citizens in the community averaging about 75-80 years of age. They have

williams their own reserved section of the gym within shouting distance of the officials.”

Coach of the Shawnee State Bears women’s team, Robin Hagen-Smith says those types of games are what she expected from a player like Whitney.

“She understood her role and what it takes to be a winner,” said Hagen-Smith.

You would think that game may stick out foremost in her mind, but there is no “I” in team for Williams.

“My most memorable college game happened about two months ago when we beat Lee University in overtime,” said Whitney. “At the time, they were ranked 5th in the nation in Div. 1 NAIA. We were behind 17 points in the first half but came back to win the game!”

Former River View Varsity Girls Basketball Coach Caroline Daugherty has been coaching for more than twenty years and has coached Whitney since the 7th grade.

Whitney has been through the whole school of Daugherty basketball ranging from Caroline’s father to her husband Bill before being coached under Caroline her varsity years.

Daugherty says that the selfless attitude is personified through Whitney. “She is always concerned about her teammates,” Daugherty said. “She is a quality lady and I look forward to her to be successful throughout her life.”

Though a co-captain of the Bears, Whitney says competition is tough at college and you can’t get too comfortable at any time.

“It is a lot more demanding,” she said.

“I have to work hard every day because there is always a new freshman class coming in and someone that is trying to take your spot if you mess up.”

Knowing that graduation is around the corner, Whitney can still remember that feeling and how she “learned a lot more from sitting on

the bench.”

“Every single person on the team has an important role,” she said. “It doesn’t matter if you’re a starter or the last person off the bench.

I have experienced both of these and trust me, being a starter is a lot more fun. I still don’t know how I didn’t quit but I think I knew that one day if I was patient, I would finally get my chance.”

And what a chance she has had, because according to Shawnee State 2009-2010 statistics, Whitney is 3rd in the American Mideast Conference league in 3 point field goal percentage and she is 1st in the league in 3 point field goals made per game, just to name a few.

Coach Hagen-Smith says that besides her depth as a three-point shooter, Whitney has proved to be a “quality person and outstanding student” in college. “She will be a ScholarAthlete for the 2nd consecutive year…” which means you have to have over a 3.5 accumulative GPA by the time you reach junior status.

“Her strength has always been her shooting,” Daugherty says. “She has worked hard since she’s been young.”

Besides the hoopla of the hoops, Fred has seen his daughter grow tremendously both on and off the court during her four years at Portsmouth.

“She had to study more and manage her time more efficiently, especially during the basketball season with all the hours it entails,” Fred said.

“Where we have seen the most growth is in her confidence with the experience she’s gained in Dental Hygiene, (her major) and athletically, on the basketball court.”

Whitney admits she has learned some life lessons at college too and that dad ultimately was right.

“College taught me how to manage my time because it’s really hard to juggle so many things including basketball, school, family, and friends,” she said. “It also showed me that the kind of person you are matters a lot more than what kind of basketball player you are. You can learn a lot from how a person deals with situations.”

Hagen- Smith says that winning is nice, but it isn’t always important. She says that Whitney has learned that.

“The players are the most important and the relationships that are built throughout their careers. If you always give your best you won’t have any regrets,” said Hagen-Smith.

While playing for River View, Williams was a four-year letter winner in both basketball and soccer for the Lady Bears. She earned honorable mention All-Ohio in 2004 and achieved 1st, 2nd, & 3rd team honors over that 4-year span in the MVL and ECOL leagues as well as Eastern

District honors. She finished her career as River View’s third all-time leader in free throw percentage & ninth all-time in assist.

Whitney hasn’t lost sight of her beginnings by keeping in touch.

“I am still really good friends with Kristin and Kari Daugherty and Ashley Owen,” she said.

“I try to get together with them whenever we are home. We still play basketball sometimes too. I try to keep up with Dayton since Kristin and Kari both play there now. We will always been good friends I think because we have a special bond that no one else could have unless you were a part of the team.”

Whitney has some advice for college- bound athletes once like herself which she is still trying to live by. “Do anything it takes to win a game, whether it’s cheering on a teammate, getting water for them, or hitting the game winning shot.”

Whitney plans to find a job as a Dental Hygienist in the Cincinnati/Columbus area following graduation.

Hagen-Smith has been coaching for 26 years and will be inducted into the Ohio Basketball Hall of Fame in May 2010 along with the 1999 National Champions.

Williams’ previous collegiate seasons stats include: 2008 - 2009 Season -- Whitney played in 31 games for the Bears. She tallied 163 points, 35 rebounds, 23 assists, and 11 steals on the season.

She tallied a career-high 25 points in the game, going 8-for-9 from the field, 5-for-6 from beyond the arc, and 4-for-4 at the charity strip. Whitney was named an NAIA Scholar Athlete.

2007 - 2008 Season -- Whitney played in 22 games as a sophomore for the Bears. She compiled 68 points, 31 rebounds, 12 assists, 8 steals, and 2 blocks on the season. In her best game of the season Whitney scored 13 points and pulled down 6 boards in the Bears 100-61 win over Wilberforce on February 13.

2006 - 2007 Season -- Whitney played in 15 games as a freshman. She compiled 18 points, 6 steals, 6 assists, and 5 steals on the season.

WOOSTER - Ohio Solar power as a backyard moneymaker¬ for nearly no upfront costs? Ohio State University’s Fred Michel will talk about it at an upcoming sustainable energy workshop in Wooster.

“Solar, Wind and Wood: Sustainable Energy Options” takes place 7 - 9 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 23, at the Prentke Romich Company (PRC), 1022 Heyl Rd. (County Road 39). Admission is free and open to the public.

A composting and bioenergy researcher by day, a solar energy proponent by night¬ fueled by sunlight captured during the day of courseMichel will discuss residential solar photovoltaics (PV), including from his own experience with his own home system.

“There are so many incentives, not to mention environmental reasons, to install solar PV, that every homeowner should be seriously considering it,” he said. “Together these incentives make installing a solar system a money-making proposition.”

He’ll explain the process of getting PV installed on your home and how a solar PV system can provide a greater return on investment over the next 10 years than investing the same amount of money in the bank.

Further, he noted, a new Ohio law on municipal financing “allows you to pay off the investment in your PV system through an increase in your property taxes and makes the upfront costs of installing PV essentially zero.”

A Wooster resident, Michel holds a joint appointment with Ohio State’s Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center (OARDC) and with Ohio State University Extension.
