Barn at Spring Acres perfect for any occasion Out on Township Road 341, just four miles north of Warsaw, stands an old, rustic barn owned by Elaine and Ron Farie. This 100-year-old structure has been completely renovated and restored into a beautiful, picturesque place perfect for weddings, social gatherings, reunions, or whatever the occasion may be. It has even been used as a place of worship for two Easter sunrise services. The Barn at Spring Acres Farm is a peaceful setting away from the hustle and bustle of life. It accommodates 125 guests and boasts three handmade wrought iron chandeliers which hang down gracefully from the ceiling, emanating a soft glow from the lights. The peaceful view from inside looks down on a bridge across a babbling spring-fed stream. Outside is a country paradise with trees, flowers, and plenty of space. There is also a fire ring, plenty of room for walking, room for outdoor horseshoes, a place to play Frisbee, and adequate parking. Elaine is a registered nurse and loves the country and gardening. The barn was originally re-furbished for her youngest daughter’s wedding. She has maintained the landscape with a lot of hard work and love and she enjoys the beauty and the history of the barn. The Barn at Spring Acres Farm will be opening soon for the season on May 1. To book an event, contact Elaine or Ron Farie at (740) 824-3749 or visit their Web site at www.barnatspringacres. com. The barn is open for events until Oct. 31 and is located at 28643 Township Road 341 in Warsaw.
In Memory of my dear sister
In Memory of David (Randy) Gray
March 20, 1972 - March 19, 2001 I know a place where the sun is like gold, And the cherry blooms burst with snow; And down underneath is the loveliest nook, Where the four-leaf clovers grow. One leaf is for hope, and one is for faith, And one is for love, you know, But God put another in for luck– If you search, you will find where they grow. But you must have hope, and you must have faith, You must love and be strong, and so, If you work, if you wait, you will find the place Where the four-leaf clovers grow. - Ella Higginson

The spring musical returned in a big way to Coshocton City Schools this past weekend with the presentation of “Seussical the Musical” by students from the junior and senior high. Kris Hardesty, who directed the musical, said, “It’s been eight years since there has been an actual performance here on the stage that was actually done by Coshocton students. Some of our students participate with the Coshocton Players, but this is the first done entirely by Coshocton students in several years. It’s pretty exciting. I’ve been really, really appreciative of the kids’ willingness to just do whatever it takes. There’s nothing else like theater. We’re finding that out, and the kids are finding out that live performance is entirely different than anything else. In theater, you never know from night to night. For them to experience the art form of theater is important.” Nathan Lain, who portrayed the Cat in the Hat, said, “In the show, I play a number of different characters, so I have to get out of my character as the Cat and change costumes a lot. It’s good to have theater here. I moved here from a school that had theater and so it’s nice that it

I’m enjoying it.” Alex Lawrence, who was cast as Horton the elephant, said, “Horton is kind of a reserved character that doesn’t enjoy being the center of attention, but he is the only one who can hear the “Whos” and he’s the only one who can help them. The other animals are ganging up on him and he doesn’t like that, but it falls on him to be the responsible one and save this little planet. I love the music, the music is amazing. It has a lot of snappy tunes, some fast paced ones and also some lullabies. I’m unimaginably excited.” Stacey Drennen, whose son Connor was cast as JoJo, commented on Friday night’s performance, “I would say that it was absolutely amazing. Fabulous. The kids

The proclamation is to encourage everyone to learn and acknowledge individuals with developmental disabilities and to support opportunities for those individuals.

Last year’s beneficiary was the American Red Cross, and this year, 100% of monies raised will go toward Deputy Jo Kobel, who has been recently diagnosed with breast cancer. Jo said she’s doing very well after a set back with an infection prevented her from starting chemotherapy. The cancer was able to be removed, but her doctors recommended four rounds of chemotherapy just to be safe. She was diagnosed with stage two cancer. “I’m overwhelmed,” she said about being the beneficiary for the Guns vs. Hoses game, “I just can’t say enough about how the community pulls together. I didn’t realize I had so many friends.” Jo returned to work Monday, March 14. She has been with the sheriff’s department for ten years.

“I really haven’t gotten awards and it’s just an awesome thing to be recognized for something you love to do so much,” David said, “because I love working here. I love being a bus driver here. Everybody’s so encouraging here. The staff is awesome, and it’s just a great honor and I’m just blessed.” The Support Professional Award was awarded to Carolyn Shustar, who provides direct care services to individuals in Coshocton County and Hopewell contacts her, sometimes on short notice, to fill in for others. She goes above and beyond her duty. The last award went to Malinda Wagner. She works at the RHDD building and is always polite, positive and ready to work. She hardly ever misses a day. Mr. Oster ended the breakfast by thanking everyone for attending. The students at Hopewell had also made special treats that were available for the guests on their way out.

Glenn Beck of FOX News has a theory that connects the Great Pyramid of Giza with the Newark Earthworks, and by association, the Newark Holy Stones. Found in ancient mounds in the Newark area in the 1860s, the Newark Holy Stones refer primarily to two carved and polished stones bearing Hebrew inscriptions. One, the Keystone, is shaped like an arrowhead and inscribed on each of its four sides is an attribute of God. The second, referred to as the Decalogue Stone, features an image of Moses and a list of the Ten Commandments. The discovery seemed to confirm a 19th century theory about the origins of the moundbuilders, that they were not Native Americans but a remnant of the lost tribes of Israel. Further examination of the stones by archaeologists and Hebrew scholars in the 1800s rebutted this claim, asserting that the stones were a fraud. The Newark “Holy Stones”: Science, Politics, and Religion in 19th Century Ohio will be offered on March 26 at 3 p.m. at the JohnsonHumrickhouse Museum where the Newark Holy Stones are displayed. Brad Lepper, Curator of Archaeology for the Ohio Historical Society, will present the 19th century context and suggest the political and social motives that may have been behind their creation. Beck is not the only one to purport the stones’ authenticity. A number of people believe there is growing archaeological evidence that shows that European and Mid-Eastern peoples visited and even settled in the New World long before Columbus. The Johnson Brothers, founders of the Johnson-Humrickhouse Museum, purchased the stones not long after they were discovered. Ever since the museum opened in 1931, the

March 18th, 1951 The Coshocton High School musicians made a clean sweep when they all took home superiors at the Solo and Ensemble contest in Mansfield. Both vocalists and instrumentalists received a superior rating in every classification. It was the finest showing that had ever taken place at a district music competition before 1951. As a result, all the instrumentalists went to state finals at Ohio Wesleyan in April and all the vocalists took part in the district contest in Newark.

March 19th, 1961 Five of Mr. and Mrs. Tom Cartons’ six children were named members of the honorary Dayton Dolphins, a boy and girl swim team recognized as one of the best swim clubs by the Amateur Athletic Union. The Cartons, formerly of Coshocton, now lived near Dayton so their young children could swim competitively for the team. The children, ranging in age from 5 – 12, had proven themselves some of the best swimmers on the team. Since they joined, both boys and one of the girls had won a total of 27 ribbons, 12 of which were for first place. Against the latest opponent, Tommy Carton was the only triple winner of the event, taking first in the 80-yard individual medley, 40-yard backstroke, and 100-yard freestyle. He was the only record holder for the Dolphins thus far in the 11 – 12 age group.
1971
March 20th, 1971 It was the first time sixth grade teacher Karen Drudy said she saw her students attack their science fair projects with such gusto and enthusiasm. The theme for that year’s science fair was pollution and its effects on the earth, and the kids jumped at this idea. Some students created models of parks and campgrounds, trying to imagine what it would look like without all the litter. Others created oil wells and explained how just one drop in a small stream can contaminate the water for miles. The students not only pointed out pollution problems, but came up with solutions. One group turned a useless river into a working river by building a dam, made out of clay, and irrigation pipes, or straws. Signs at the science fair read, “We dislike pollution. It’s killing our wildlife. It’s killing our plants. It’s killing our earth.”

March 21st, 1981 The children at Coshocton County Head Start received a special visit from the farm yard. A representative from the Coshocton County Humane Animal Treatment Association came by to visit the kids, bringing with him a small piglet, a two-day old lamb, a hamster and a kitten. He talked to the children about being nice to animals as they all sat in a circle taking turns playing with their newfound furry friends. At the end of the day, all the kids agreed that the piglet was a “real ham”. All information was obtained from microfilm of the Coshocton Tribune at the Coshocton County Library.

The basement fellowship hall of the Coshocton Presbyterian Church was crowded Wednesday, March 9 as people gathered for the first Lenten Lunch of the season. Norma Owens welcomed the guests, led a short prayer, and then shared a beautiful rendition of “Lamb of God” with accompanist, Caroline Heading. She also explained the presence of a small rock located at each place at the table. The rock had been painted black and had a white cross painted in the center. Owens explained that the gift was to remind everyone daily that Jesus is their Savior and he died for their sins. The menu for the day included soup, with a choice potato or vegetable beef soup, a variety of pies, vegetables, muffins, crackers, cheese and beverages. After everyone enjoyed their luncheon, Norma Owens read a scripture reading from Luke 8: 4-15 and Rev. Mike Bilza of the Coshocton Alliance Church expanded on the reading. Luke 8: 4-15 is about the parable Jesus told about the seed being planted on the various types of

Everything is the same in each scenario Jesus gives except the condition of the soil, or in realty, the human heart. Rev. Bilza said that the first example Jesus gave where the seeds are devoured by birds represents a person who hears the Word, but does nothing with it. They totally reject the Word of God and continue to live without faith. The second example where the seeds fall on the rocks represent a person who hears the Word of God and immediately accepts it and receives God, but then quickly forgets it and reverts back to their own ways. Rev. Bilza explained this type of a person receives God based on emotions, not faith. The third example Jesus gave where the seeds are choked by the thorns represents a person who may believe in God, probably goes to church and other faith gatherings, but never really has a personal relationship with Jesus.

Beacon Bicentennial Bits #33 Oldest Church in the County Chalfant Church was built in 1811 and is the oldest church in the county. The first church was a hewn-log structure and stood until 1849. It was replaced by another building in 1849 and the present church was built in 1893. It is located on the same site as the original building. Among its charter members was an African American slave. In 1822, an all-day Sunday School began where people would bring their dinners with them for an all-day session.

and helping them earn their 300 hours of sweat equity. In order for a partner family to earn a home, they have to have as part of the requirement, 300 hours of sweat equity, which means that they are going to be putting time into building a home, or time into the community, volunteering in the community or volunteering at programs for Habitat. Many people feel that when a partner family moves into a home, we give them the house and give them the key. That’s not the case. The Habitat partner families do an incredible amount of work to earn their home. They have real ownership in the home.” Nagle added that, “Habitat For Humanity is currently finishing house number eight, seven is just about complete and we’re now working on number nine, getting that under roof.

tenth house already has a Habitat partner family. We’re excited at where we’re at.” Gemini Construction owner Jason Pendola said he had a two-fold reason for being at the show as a local business, “Number one, to support what Habitat does in our community. Every year they’ve got projects that are happening to help people get into homes, and secondly, because we get a lot of business from this. People really come looking for our services, so it’s mutually beneficial. It’s great to be here.” Another local business who set up at the show was Coshocton Glass. Owner Tim Howell stated, “This is our first time being at the home show. It’s been nothing but positive feed for us so far. We’re trying to reach out to the community as much as we can. It’s a good show and a good investment of our time. I enjoy being here and meeting the people that I don’t get to see on a regular basis. Hopefully they’ll see our services and know that we can do something for them.” Jane Mautz, public relations committee chair and board member for Habitat For Humanity, said, “This show is one of the ways we can get our name out there. People can see who we are. We really give a helping hand to someone who wants to be a homeowner. We have to come up with funds. We’re not large enough yet that our previous homeowners to supply our money through their payments. So we need some fundraisers. This serves a two-fold purpose. We get some money out of it for our partner families and we get our name out there. And we really hope we’re helping our local businesses be better. That’s what it’s all about. It’s community helping community. It’s all of us helping together. Our vendors have been great; the Career Center is a great location. A lot of volunteer hours go into this event to make it happen.”

The second annual Habitat For Humanity Home Show was held this past weekend at the Coshocton County Career Center with hundreds attending. Over 40 vendors had displays and exhibits featuring home related products and services with seminars and demonstrations including; gourds, woodcarving, vegetable gardening and Red, White and Bloom. The home show is a major fund-raiser for Habitat For Humanity of Coshocton County. Free bulk shredding was also provided and donations were accepted for the Habitat For Humanity ReStore. Debnar said, “I think Habitat is a wonderful organization and I thought if I could come and offer something, I would be glad to. I enjoy growing gourds and seeing the different varieties. There are certain seeds you plant and you know exactly what you’re going to get, then there are other ones that you can plant, like the long-necked gourd, that, if you let it grow on the ground, it will take all kinds of unusual shapes. I also like crafting and showing at the fair.” Debnar also added that raising and cultivating gourds ends with the Coshocton County Fair and that with this year’s Bicentennial, there are several new categories for people to enter gourds. Jane Sikes, who helped organize the event, stated, “Last year we had just over a thousand people in the two days and this year we’re expecting a similar number. There are so many nice things being offered. All of the exhibitors have specials going on; we have Buehler’s offering some lunch if you want to grab a sandwich. It’s springtime and it’s time to think about getting the house straightened up, cleaned up for spring and this is a great time to do that.” Nancy Nagle, who serves as chairman for the family support committee for Habitat, said, “Family support involves working with our Habitat families and encouraging them
