ZANESVILLE - Small farm owners who want to learn more about how to make their farms work better for them or expand their operations, or those new to agriculture who are looking for ways to utilize acreage, can attend workshops and presentations on these and more issues during a small farm conference Saturday, March 23, in Zanesville. The Living Your Small Farm Dream conference and trade show is designed to help participants learn more tips, techniques and methods for diversifying their opportunities into successful new enterprises and new markets as a way to improve economic growth and development on their farms, said Mark Mechling, an Ohio State University Extension educator in agriculture and natural resources. “It may be a person who is new to agriculture, or someone that may have acreage that they aren’t using to the fullest, or even someone who has newly acquired land and may not know what to do with it,” he said. “What we try to do with this conference is to give participants a smorgasbord of ideas that may interest them by offering a wide variety of sessions in which they can learn more in-depth about an issue, gain resources and learn how to finance a new venture.” The conference, which will be held at the Muskingum County Convention and Welcome Center, 205 N. Fifth St. in Zanesville, kicks off with a keynote address on Planning and Goal Setting, presented by Mike Hogan, an OSU Extension educator. OSU Extension is the outreach arm of Ohio State University’s College of Food, Agricultural and Environmental Sciences. Following Hogan’s address, participants can choose from over 20 sessions from Ohio State and industry experts on issues related to small farms and a trade show for small farmers that will offer information that can benefit a variety of growers, Mechling said. The overall goal of the event and the mission of the OSU Small Farms Program is to provide a greater understanding of production practices, economics of land-use choices, assessment

Direct marketing and cottage foods development workshop announced contributed to the beacon
COSHOCTON - If you are planning to sell food at local Farmers Markets or Local Bounty Coshocton or have ever considered the possibility of making a food for sale, then plan to participate in a Direct Marketing and Cottage Foods Development Workshop from 6 - 9 p.m. Monday, March 25, in Room B100 in the County Services Building. Direct marketing is the sale of items directly to the consumer. This could include fresh produce, eggs, meat, honey, maple syrup, or a processed food like a baked good or fruit jam or jelly. Foods that are made in the home without a requirement for inspection are called cottage foods. There are plenty of opportunities for starting a home-based food business or directly marketing the products from your farm. Eric Barrett, Agriculture and Natural Resources (ANR) Extension Educator in Mahoning County and member of the OSU Extension Direct Marketing Team, will offer advice on growing and developing your brand. This program helps new and experienced direct marketers get their marketing plan in line through branding their farm business. Barrett will also explain the best approaches for pricing your products. You will see examples from other marketers and get materials to help you price your own products. Following the Direct Marketing section, Emily Adams, ANR Extension Educator in Coshocton County will present a workshop on developing a home-based food business by making Cottage Foods in Ohio. Adams will explain the food safety reasons behind Ohio law for Cottage Foods including why certain foods are able to be made in the home without inspection and some are not. This program also helps food producers understand labeling and ways to determine if a recipe is ready for the market. Cost of the class is $10 and can be paid at the OSU Extension Office before the registration deadline of Wednesday, March 20. To register go to coshocton.osu.edu for a downloadable flyer or by contacting the OSU Extension office at 622-2265 or e-mail adams.661@osu.edu for information.

three new SANDs with triple the storage space. Two switches, one at the engineer office and the other at the airport, need to be replaced for a cost of $12,900. LaVigne also proposed a redundant connection from the sheriff’s office back to the annex, so if one connection goes down, another can be used as a back-up, for a total cost of $9,930. There is currently $55,388 in funds to utilize for new equipment for the IT department. All projects proposed by LaVigne could be covered by the end of the year.

We need her the most here, just let her stay If it’s just for a while, if it’s just one more day. He said, Oh my child, you don’t understand She’ll be a healed soul if she just takes my hand. Go ahead, cry if you must, shed many a tear But always remember...I am nothing to fear We knew she was tired, the pain she could not hide He guaranteed no more hurting if she stood by His side He promised her beauty and gold streets in His land So we tearfully and painfully let go of her hand.

I hope I can express myself enough to thank all of my friends and family for their cards, prayers and calls while in Riverside Hospital for open heart surgery and also my recovery time at home. I will say that taking care of yourself early in life is critical as to the length of good health. Life is so precious and we are here for only a short time. Thanks again and I look forward to seeing all of you soon.

edition of The Coshocton Daily Age. Although the article was written some six days after the first storm hit, the full impact of the flood was not known. The article states, “The Walhonding river valley north and west of Coshocton is cut off absolutely from all communication from Coshocton. Warsaw, Nellie, Walhonding and other villages in the valley are known to be hard hit but it will be days before any reliable information can be obtained from these towns because all communication, telephone and railroad, has been cut off entirely. The biggest damage in the county is expected to come from this valley.” Human interest stories add heart and soul to the papers’ official announcements: “Mother Saves Her Three Children from Drowning,” ”Flood Thieves Under Arrest,” and “Sad Funeral: Pallbearers Wade in Water Carrying Body to the Grave,” to name a few. The Flood of 1913 is enthralling, particularly for those familiar with Coshocton County. A description of the image’s location accompanies each photograph so that viewers will recognize the spot, in spite of the water and debris. The Johnson-Humrickhouse Museum is open from 1 to 4:30 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday. Admission is $3 for adults, $2 for children and $8 for families. Wednesdays are

Announcements
COSHOCTON - The Flood of 1913 was immortalized by photographers who printed their images on postcards. Whether it was Main Street submerged under a foot of water, a spontaneous lake in what was previously a cornfield or a collapsed train trestle, these water-sculpted landscapes enthralled those who lived through it and fascinate those of us today who can only imagine it. To commemorate the greatest natural disaster in Ohio history, the Johnson-Humrickhouse Museum will display nearly 50 photographs of a flooded Coshocton County. The Flood of 1913 features enlarged images from a selection of postcards that were collected by Joe and Donna Kreitzer. The exhibit, sponsored by Joe R. Engle Museum Gallery fund, will be displayed Friday, March 1 through Sunday, April 28, in the Montgomery Gallery. The Flood of 1913 began on Friday, March 21, with the first storm comprised of strong winds and warm temperatures. A second storm hit on Saturday, dropping temperatures to the 20s. By Sunday (Easter Day), the land was saturated and nearly all the rain became run off flowing into streams and rivers, and still it continued to rain. Rainfall over the state totaled 6-11 inches. Levees could not contain the water. Nearly all areas of Coshocton County were severely affected (West Lafayette, the exception). Statewide, the death toll was estimated at 467 and more than 40,000 homes were flooded. Newspapers from the time of the flood will also be exhibited. “CREST OF FLOOD REACHED HERE THURSDAY” was announced on the front page of the March 27

Memories
The way we were... February 27th, 1953 The fourth graders at Chestnut School had been studying about Norway and as a class project, they constructed a Norwegian village, under the supervision of Miss Mildred Zimmerman. The class formed different committees to discuss the Norwegian culture and reference work was used in the study. Each student was given an assignment to complete with the display, which featured miniature units of furniture such as chairs, decks, tables, pipe organs, and books. They created a mountain background from chicken wire and newspaper.
COSHOCTON - The United Way Board of Control voted unanimously to bring on Joshua Branch as member of the full board. He is currently serving as the Director of Coshocton Alternative School. He graduated from Muskingum University in 2005 and has his master’s degree from Salem International University. Branch has coached teams in football, basketball and track at various levels.

February 28th, 1963 Coshocton National Bank was not only celebrating their 65th anniversary, but also its movement up 123 places in rank among the country’s top 1400 banks in growth, according to the American Banker, a national banking publication. The Coshocton National Bank opened March 1, 1898 and employees observed the day by wearing period clothing and serving free cake and coffee to customers. A replica of the original bank building was on display, and a 65th anniversary contest, open to all county residents, offered a $65 savings account prize for guessing the number of hours the bank had been open since its founding.

United Way board members may serve two consecutive three-year terms and there are currently 17 board members. “Our board is very much a working board and therefore accomplishes a great deal on behalf of not only our 20 partner agencies, but also on behalf of Coshocton County,” said Lyn Mizer, United Way Executive Director. “According to our bylaws, we are permitted to have between 15 and 20 members, so if anyone is interested in serving our mission of advancing the county’s health and human services agenda by expanding resources and applying them effectively attempting to build a more selfsufficient community, we would welcome their interest.

February 28th, 1983 Although the TV series, “M-A-S-H” ended that night, the Coshocton Middle School students were planning to give a toned-down version of the play in late March. Thirty students were cast as actors and another 30 would act as stage crew for the production. Auditions for the play were right before Christmas with rehearsals beginning after the break. Students wore “M-A-S-H” tee-shirts to help them get in the mood for the play. The plot involved trying to raise enough money to send to a young Korean boy to America so he could study to be a doctor. All information was obtained from microfilm of the Coshocton Tribune at the Coshocton County Library.

COSHOCTON – Christian Osborn is taking his baseball skills back to where he first learned about the game. “Florida is where I grew up, but I’m also a little sad to leave the home I’ve made here the last four years,” he said. The Coshocton High School senior and Florida native signed his letter of intent Feb. 20, to play baseball at the University of Tampa, a Division II college. “I’m really relieved to have made a decision,” Osborn said. “Now I can enjoy my senior year and have fun with my teammates and fellow seniors.”
He started learning about the game of baseball when he was 2-years-old. “My dad took me to a local field in Florida and started teaching me about the rules,” Osborn said. “When I was 3 I got started in my first league and from there on I played year-round. I started out as a catcher, but when I was 10 or 11 I was asked to pitch in an all-star game and decided that was my calling.” He started his first game on the mound for the Redskins as a freshman. “I love pitching,” Osborn said. “I’m in control and get to set the pace of the game. I also get to be a leader, which is where I’m comfortable.” Coshocton’s baseball coach Scott Loomis was very excited for Osborn. “His years of hard work are paying off,” Loomis said. “This kid knows how to pitch and
he’s dedicated. You ask him to do something and he gives you everything he has.” Osborn appreciates all the help his coaches have given him. “I’ve had great training and I’ve learned a lot that I’m going to take to college with me,” he said. “It’s always been a dream of mine to play at the next level.” Christian is the son of Tonya and Brett Osborn. “I’m so excited and so proud of him,” Tonya said. “It’s been amazing watching him turn into the young man and player he is.” Christian plans to major in forensic science at the University of Tampa. He also said he will be ready to take the mound whenever he is called upon. “I’m going to do what I’m told and give 110 percent,” he said. josie@coshoctoncountybeacon.com

1863,” Porteus said. “We are proud to have them as part of our community.” She also had the honor of acknowledging AEP Conesville Plant, which served as the campaign’s corporate chair. “A corporate sponsor is needed to help the campaign run smoothly and we are thankful that they stepped up to do this for us,” Porteus said. “They have been a strong supporter of United Way and raised roughly $161,000 over the last six years and consistently been one of our top 10 supporters.” Next year’s corporate sponsor will be Clow Water Systems. Another business that stepped up to help this year’s campaign was Buckeye Brine. When Steve Mobley, president of the company, heard United Way had only reached 95 percent of its $380,000 goal he issued a challenge to the community that Joy Padgett shared with those who attended the annual meeting. “He will match us dollar to dollar up to $10,000 in order to help us reach our goal,” she said. “I believe together everyone accomplishes more so I urge you to reach into your pockets and donate $1, $5, or even $10. Every bit is appreciated.” United Way has until Tuesday, March 26 to achieve its goal. “We are trying to make our dollars work hard in the community and make a difference and thought this might be a good way to help United Way with a final push,” Mobley said. Lyn Mizer, executive director of United Way, appreciated his generosity and that of everyone who donates their money, time and energy to United Way. “It takes our board, our businesses, their employees and every one of us here to make a go of this,” she said. United Way has 20 partner agencies. It also helps with other community projects such as helping people file free tax returns, supplying free books to Coshocton children ages 0-5 through Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library and hosting Clean Up Coshocton Day, which is set for Saturday, April 20. United Way also hosts a yearly kickoff event called Taste of Coshocton County. Seventeen area restaurants and caterers provided samples of their food at last year’s event and this year’s is already scheduled for Thursday, Aug. 22, at Lake Park Pavilion. “When we pull together our resources we make Coshocton a thriving place to live,” Mizer said. Anyone who would still like to donate to the campaign can do so by calling the United Way office at 622-4567, or sending a check to: United Way, P.O.

Members were asked to wear red to bring attention to the American Heart Association’s campaign Go Red for Women. Tomma Bordenkircher passed out information on heart disease. She also gave everyone a red dress pin and a card to record their weight, blood pressure and cholesterol numbers. More women die from heart disease than from the next three causes of death combined including all forms of cancer. She announced it has been 20 years since she had open heart surgery. She reported on First Step’s annual dinner on Feb, 11. She encouraged members to contact their legislators regarding the bills on violence against women, Senate Bill 47 and House Bill 11. She announced the next Meet the Candidates night would be held Oct. 10 at the Coshocton County Career Center (CCCC). She reminded members to loan her photos for the 80th anniversary CD. Mary Mason stated the Individual Development (ID) training was cancelled but will be rescheduled in March. Liz Herrell thanked all the members
COSHOCTON – American consumers have the luxury of buying with a degree of confidence that they are getting what they pay for and business owners assume they are competing on a level playing field, all due to the diligence of weights and measures inspectors. To remind the public that these public servants are working for their benefit and for pennies a year, County Auditor Christine Sycks announces March 1 through 7 is Weights and Measures Week. The theme for Weights and Measures Week 2013 is “Common Cents.” Sycks shares that accuracy in trade serves the common interest of every person and every business owner, and it comes at a very affordable cost to taxpayers. According to the Ohio Revised Code, the County Auditor is the sealer of weights and measures
for the county. Coshocton County’s appointed Weights and Measures Inspector is Jarrod Tipton. The cost per resident averages just 55 cents per year for this government function. This is why weights and measures enforcement makes ‘common cents.’ Sycks points out that a person can lose more than that 55 cents on a single package of short-weight ground beef or a few gallons of mis-measured gasoline. “Not only do we protect Coshocton County’s citizens, but this service also protects our business owners. A few pennies on every transaction can add up to enormous differences in profits for retailers, who depend on unbiased, independent regulatory oversight to ensure a level playing field in competition.” The date for Weights and Measures Week
who donated or helped serve refreshments at the Martin Luther King, Jr. celebration at St. Andrews. She reminded members Equal Pay Day will be observed on April 9 with an Unhappy Hour at Uncorked in Roscoe Village. BPW Ohio will reduce state dues by $10 during the month of April. Members are encouraged to invite guests to meetings and activities. The next state meeting will be on April 13 in Boardman. The 50/50 drawing was won by guest Jenna Guthrie who donated it to First Step. The next meeting will be at 6 p.m. March 18, at Edie Ryan’s. The program will be about Buckeye Girls State and open to the public. BPW’s mission is to achieve equity for all women in the workplace through advocacy, education and information. Membership is open to men and women, employed and unemployed. For information, contact Liz Herrell at 740-2940199 or at coshoctonbpw@gmail.com.
Weights and Measures Week: It’s Common Cents
contributed to the beacon
commemorates the signing of the first United States weights and measures law by John Adams on March 2, 1799. Since then, there have been advancements from mechanical devices to highly sophisticated, software-based weighing and measuring instruments. Tipton has fulfilled the Ohio Training requirements for Weights and Measures personnel and is required to complete annual continuing education to qualify as Inspector. If there are any questions or concerns regarding any commercial measuring device, please contact the County Auditor’s Office at 622-1243 to request an inspection.

AKRON – River View High School will compete in the 2013 JA Titan Challenge Friday, March 22.

The Panel of Experts includes Bryant Henson (Lockheed Martin), Patricia Mishic (A. Schulman), Ben Scott (FedEx Custom Critical) and Keeven White (WhiteSpace Creative). The sponsors for the 2013 JA Titan Challenge include: Lockheed Martin, ExxonMobil, FedEx Custom Critical, EYEMG, Goodyear, Bridgestone and Deluxe Corporation.
