Also, any taxpayer can set up with us an escrow payment plan where each month an amount is paid towards their current taxes. This avoids two large amounts being due twice a year. The twelve payments begin in August and the amount is an estimated amount, due to various levies being voted upon in November. Now to the most difficult part of my job – the collection of delinquent real estate and mobile home taxes. I knew coming in to office that this needed to be one of my first priorities and my office has been diligently working on them. State law is clear as to how to address the issue of delinquencies, and even with our current economic conditions, I feel we cannot let our delinquencies get higher.

Some of my tax foreclosure decisions have been difficult and not without sleepless nights; however, great progress has been made in collecting these taxes. It is not fair to the persons who scrape and genuinely do without to pay their taxes, while others do not make their tax responsibility a priority. Thank you to the County Prosecutor, Special Prosecutor and the Sheriff’s Department for their assistance with collecting the delinquent taxes. If you have delinquent taxes, please do not just ignore them. Please make arrangements with us to pay them. In closing I would like to thank everyone who had a part in making my first three months in office a really great experience. One of my favorite quotes is by Joe Paterno, “It is the name on the front of the jersey that matters most, not the name on the back”. As you can see Coshocton County truly works together as a team. Thank you to all county employees who put the team first.

ow! My first three months in office have gone so fast. Now that we have completed the first half real estate and mobile home tax collections, I wanted to share some information with you regarding the Coshocton County Treasurer’s Office. First off I want to thank my staff for all their hard work. They are very enthusiastic and dedicated employees, working hard and genuinely caring about our taxpayers. In February we sent out over 29,000 real estate tax bills and over 4,000 mobile home tax bills. Thank you to all who came into the office and paid or mailed their payments. The first half collections went well and very smoothly. Thank you to WTNS, The Beacon and The Tribune for keeping the community informed regarding tax collection dates and other information. In striving to be more effective the County Auditor and County Recorder allowed me to share some of their employees during first half collection. Many payroll hours were saved by their employees assisting me while also doing their own duties. Thank you to their employees who assisted us. I am making some changes to streamline procedures and better serve our taxpayers before the collection of second half taxes, which will be due sometime in July. In late April I am implementing a new check imaging system which will save payroll dollars and many hours of manual posting. This system will scan the payment and automatically post it to the individual parcel. Thank you to the County Commissioners for their assistance with this equipment purchase to upgrade our services. I also am in the process of obtaining the capability to take debit and credit card payments in our office for tax payments by second half collection this summer.
Delinquent taxes affect each of us. They affect our schools, our safety, our childrens’ services, and many other aspects of our lives.

Robert D. Miller, FHFMA, Coshocton Hospital CEO, has been awarded the 2011 Frederick C. Morgan Achievement Award from the Healthcare Financial Management Association (HFMA). Mr. Miller is the 53rd recipient of the award that is the national association’s highest individual honor and recognizes career-long contributions to health care financial management and HFMA. Nominations are submitted by HFMA members and chapters, with a committee of national representatives selecting the nominee who most reflects the spirit of service fostered by the award’s Miller namesake, Frederick C. Morgan, who retired from health care in 1965. “I applaud Bob’s long term dedication to HFMA and the efforts he has put forth on both the national and chapter level,” said Mary Beth Briscoe, HFMA National Chairman 2007-2008. “His knowledge and years of leadership make Bob a very special member of HFMA. His sense of humor, professionalism, willingness to help others, enthusiasm, passion and service to HFMA made him an outstanding recipient for the Morgan Award.” Robert D. Miller, FHFMA, is the CEO of Coshocton County Memorial Hospital and has been a member of HFMA since 1984. He spent his first years of membership in the West Virginia chapter where he quickly became involved and assumed the duties of chapter president by 1993. He served as a regional executive, worked on several task forces, offices and committees, and served on the HFMA National Board from 1995 to 1997. Miller won the HFMA Medal of Honor Award in 1998 and is a recipient of many other West Virginia Chapter and national HFMA awards. With his move to Coshocton in 2002, Miller joined the central Ohio chapter and has been a key advisor in chapter reorganization, valued board member, membership chair, rural council chair and was a delegate for a second time in the US/UK HFMA Exchange. Miller was also this year’s winner of the Central Ohio Chapter George M. Gevas President’s award. HFMA is recognized as the leading membership organization for health care financial management executives, with more than 35,000 members nationwide. The organization provides education, analysis and professional guidance to assist CFOs, controllers and accountants in identifying and managing financial issues facing the health care industry.

On Saturday, March 12 at the NCAA Division II indoor track and field championships in Albuquerque, N.M., AU senior Kurt Roberts, Lancaster, Ohio, won the third indoor championship in shot put. Very few throwers in the country are as rock solid indoors as Roberts. A year ago, he established the meet record in the shot put with a throw of 64-11.5. On Saturday, he led the field with a throw of 63-11. That effort put some distance between

Nothing can compare to the drama and excitement that is generated by the addition of floral displays, especially burgeoning flowered baskets hanging from posts along the way. Imagine coming across the bridge into Coshocton and seeing huge baskets hanging from the traffic poles at Second Street filled with spilling red, blue and white blooms. Now, imagine those same fabulous baskets, eight of them at each intersection, all along Chestnut and Main. Truly magnificent, breathtaking....

Memories
The way we were... 1951
Library News
April 8th, 1951 It was the first time Coshocton High School had scored a ‘grand slam’ in district competitions. Previously, Coshocton soloist in voice and/or instrumentalists had taken home superior, but never before had all musicians from Coshocton High School received top ratings at district competitions. Everyone, including the 72-piece band and 73-voice choir, were moving on to state. The choir even received special praise from one of the judges. Both the band and choir were to perform at state at Capital University at the end of April. Instrumentalists were to compete at Ohio Wesleyan at the end of April and soloists were to perform at Otterbein in May.

April 9th, 1961 A little 5-year-old boy in Walhonding had marriage on his mind and he wasn’t going to settle for less than he thought he deserved. He had his eyes set on Caroline – that is, Caroline Kennedy, daughter of President John F. Kennedy. So, he decided to write her a Valentine proposing marriage. He had heard his mother and father talking about how pretty the president’s daughter was, so he asked his Mom to type out a letter with his intentions to little Caroline. Surprisingly, he received a note back which said that Caroline would think about her decision. They also received a letter from President Kennedy and his wife saying they got a big kick out of the letter.

1971
April 11th, 1971 Members of the Nellie United Methodist Church dedicated their newly-decorated sanctuary and new hymnals at their morning worship service on April 18. An open invitation was extended to everyone in the community to attend and to stay for a luncheon afterward. Rev. John Knox Hess, district superintendent of the Mt. Vernon District was to be the special guest speaker. The church had been built in 1902 as an Evangelical church and was first dedicated in 1903. In 1923, electric lights were installed and in 1930, a six-week revival occurred. In 1963, the church became Methodist.
1981
April 13th, 1981 The brewing storm seemed to reflect the feelings of the Newcomerstown ladies track team as River View’s unbeaten Lady Bears dominated their competition at a ladies division Relay. The Lady Bears won their first five events and took seven out of nine before the event was canceled due to a storm coming. Their coach was ecstatic and said she was proud of her 17-member team. She said each member was at her best that night, but was a little disappointed because one student could not compete due to the early cancellation. Other than that, the coach was happy with the results.

Kilpatrick was also recognized by MVESA as one of this year’s Outstanding Students for her leadership and academic performance. She, along with Bill Webb, her chemistry instructor at the Career Center, were recognized at the March 23 reception. Kilpatrick identified Webb as a teacher who has provided her valuable direction and inspiration.

Each winter, Muskingum Valley Education Service Center sponsors a competitive writing contest within its member districts, which span the Coshocton, Muskingum and Morgan counties, and each year, five students are selected as winners. This year, for the first time ever, a student studying in a career-technical school walked home with one of prizes. MacKrea Kilpatrick, a senior in the Cosmetology program at the Coshocton County Career Center, was one of those winners. The Susan E. Mahoney Writing Contest was named in memory of former MVESC Superintendent Ron Mahoney’s daughter, who had a gift and passion for creative writing. Up to five winners, students who show promise and a talent for creative writing, can be selected each year and each takes home a cash prize. On Wednesday, March 23, at a special reception at MVESC’s office in Zanesville, Kilpatrick was awarded a $1,000 scholarship for her prize. To be eligible, Kilpatrick had to submit two pieces of original writing, verified by her English instructor, as well as her goals as a young writer. Fifty-six contestants entered this year’s contest. Their entries were judged on originality, clarity and expression. Kilpatrick submitted an autobiographical narrative describing her first deer hunt at age eight. She accompanied her father on the hunt and described the experience in detail. The piece was titled ‘A Hooking Hunt’ because it was so enjoyable. She became an avid hunter as a result of the experience. The other piece Kilpatrick submitted was a narrative comparing some of her duties, working at a horse farm, with her

gives the cast time to bond, almost like a family. “I’ve met four new friends this year by being in the musical,” said Bethany Anglin who plays Amaryllis, “They’re so sweet. Everybody gets along so well. It’s like a family.” English said the two scenes that have been the most challenging is when all 45 cast members are on stage performing one of the most famous songs in Broadway history, “Seventy-Six Trombones”. It’s more difficult just because there are so many actors on stage at one time and getting the logistics down on how they are to move and dance is harder than it may look. The same applies for the song, “Shipoopi”. English said that some of the harmonies are difficult as well, especially the barbershop quartet. Barbershop is not easy music and every member has to know his own part to make it work. Three out of the four actors singing in the quartet are freshmen. Some of the most enjoyable scenes for the audience are some of the most challenging scenes for cast and crew because those scenes involve a lot of people, and a lot of moving and action. Another scene that English thinks the audience will enjoy is the first scene, which involves a train. The actors on stage all speak in rhythm to sound like a train. They start out slow as a train would when starting up, and then speak faster and faster, and eventually slow down at the end of the scene. Even the dialogue sounds like the noises a train would make. “I love to get the chance to be someone I’m truly not and to almost be like another person totally opposite from what I truly am,” said Nathan Shutt who plays Harold Hill, “I really am honored to have the opportunity to do that and I really enjoy it. The amount of work that everyone puts in and how far it comes along in such a short time and how it just all clicked right at the end is just truly magical.” The year is 1912 and each actor is responsible for his or her own costume, which they find at Goodwill, Roscoe Village, the Antique Mall, or are rented from a store in New Philadelphia. They try to stay as close to the period as possible. Tickets are $5 per person and will be available at the door. English said she is very grateful for all of the community support and hopes that the audience, as well as the cast, will enjoy the show. “I think the kids really truly enjoy it,” said English, “It’s a lot of work, but it’s very worth it. When they get on stage and perform in for the first time, that feeling is exhilarating. It gives the kids a sense of accomplishment. When you see that final product and you know it’s successful, you get that sense of achievement.”

The Coshocton High School tennis team has its sights set on some pretty lofty expectations during the 2011 season. But those high hopes have merit as four returning lettermen and two more seniors will occupy starting slots. Scott Simpson is the lone senior among the lettermen who return and will pair with junior Austin Bryant as the first doubles duo. Juniors P.J. Bair and Andrew Miller will represent as the first and second singles players and seniors Drew Baker and Jason Milliken will play second doubles. “I am excited to see how we grow and react to the challenges which we will most certainly encounter,” Coshocton coach Kevin Kittell said. The Redskins also tasted some success a year ago and is likely to carry over. Overall, the Red and Black finished with a record of 12-6 and made some noise in the East Central Ohio League race with a 5-3 mark. “The season looks to be an interesting one in that many of the teams on our schedule are as balanced as I have seen them in 11 years,” said Kittell.

The Coshocton High School boys track & field team has some high expectations to live up to, but head coach Steve Smith is confident that his team will be able to achieve great heights in the 2011 season. “We’re returning from a very successful season where we were able to win our first ECOL Championship in school history,” head coach Steve Smith said. “We graduated three state qualifiers last year and we have young talent ready to fill their shoes.” Inheriting the leadership role are seniors Zach Shaw and J.J. McKay. McKay returns after a successful season in the sprint events and as a member of the Redskins’ state-qualifying 4-by-100-meter relay team. He won an East Central Ohio League title and qualified for the regional in the 100-meter dash. Shaw is coming off a great season, placing in the 110 hurdles and shot put at districts. “JJ will use that experience to show our young athletes what it takes to make it to Columbus and the kids look up to Zach and will follow his work ethic,” said Smith, now in his sixth year. Junior Drew McNichols was a regional qualifier in the discus and sophomore Saquore Harris made it in the 200. McNichols will have to phase back into full strength as he is recovering from a broken collarbone. He and Shaw will be backed in the throws by juniors Nate Conidi and Austin McCrea and freshman Jordan Saylor. Harris and sophomore Jake McKay add to the sprint corps while the distance crew includes juniors Brody Philabaum, Brandon Walker and Hawken Lewis. JJ McKay and Harris will also compete in the long jump and Jake McKay will pole vault. Junior Cole Powers, Lewis, Blust will vie in the long jump and freshman Corbin Coffman in the high jump. Adding depth to the sprints will be Curtis Blake, junior K’Marr Cooper, sophomores Chris Peyatt, Colt Johnson and Jordan Williamson, and freshman Matt Michael. Blake and Walker will also pole vault. The distance group will include seniors Kyle Blust and Steven Wimer and freshmen Ian Hartley, Coffman and Nathan Lain. Some versatility will come from freshman Matt Michael. “Overall, we are excited to get another track season underway,” Smith said. “We have seven returning lettermen and 16 newcomers competing in their first year of high school track. We are going to work hard and strive to get better as the year progresses.”

In a continuing series of Sunday evening Lenten services hosted by the River View Ministerial Association and held at the Camp Warsaw Retreat Center on the outskirts of Warsaw, well over one hundred people joined in song and worship on Sunday evening, Apr. 3. With church congregations joining together in worship from the Warsaw area and neighboring communities to observe Lent, Pastor Mark Schwartz, Camp Warsaw Retreat Center director, said, “It’s a blessing to see the community come together to worship. There are a lot of good hearted people in our community and a lot of good positive things coming from our gathering together.” Ron Davis, the current President of the River View Ministerial Association, said, “I think this has allowed us to come together in one place. It has allowed us to have a neutral place – not that we need a neutral place – it’s still better. I think the congregations have been very open to this. The preaching has been very good. It’s a great group of guys and gals that I work with here, the Pastors of these churches. We all have one thing in common, and that’s Jesus. We’re just

She is joined by speedy set consisting of senior Dejay Duhamel, junior Trista Bryant and sophomore Nicki Carling. Clark and Carling both have a shot at the school record time in the 100 dash, according to Matz. Other standout sprinters are senior Denae Biggers, juniors Miranda Brown and Carley Walker, sophomore Paige Unger and freshman Quantesha Carlton. All are expected to fill in on the 4x200 and 4x400 relays.

Children ages 5—12 are invited to experience JHM like they never have before. They’ll need a flashlight to explore each gallery in the dark and should be ready for some surprising bumps in the dark. There will be clues to decipher and a mystery to solve. Children will also make a pendant necklace styled by pendants found in Hopewell Indian mounds. Participants will watch Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian and snacks will be served. This is a repeat performance of last summer’s Night at the Museum with a few improvements. We have a repeat appearance by the bear that lives in the cave, but please don’t tell children ahead of time. Children are encouraged to wear pajamas and bring a flashlight and sleeping bag. Admission is $9 for children; $8 for Friends of the Museum, and $1 for accompanying adults. Make your reservations by April 6.

Students from the River View National Honor Society came to help volunteer, Lucky Learners 4-H club is also here volunteering and we also have an Americorps NCC group here. They’re currently working on a work project here at our camp and they came over to help.” “We’re just hoping to have a real fun evening and bring everybody together to have a dance and hopefully start an annual event. Paula just does a wonderful job here.” Dee Woodward Wells, an advisor for the Lucky Learners 4-H club, said, “We are studying diversity and we wanted to explore all different areas of that. That being said, we have been to the Hopewell Valentines dance and helped chaperone that. It was a wonderful, absolutely moving experience. So when they called to ask us to do this, we were right on board. We came out and helped decorate and our kids are learning more about themselves as well as helping other people.

give the public another opportunity to prevent pill abuse and theft by ridding their homes of potentially dangerous expired, unused, and unwanted prescription drugs. Bring unwanted medications for disposal to the Coshocton County Fairgrounds at 707 Kenilworth Avenue. The service is free and anonymous, no questions asked. Last September, Americans turned in 242,000 pounds, 121 tons, of prescription drugs at nearly 4,100 sites operated by the DEA and more than 3,000 state and local law enforcement partners, including Coshocton County Sheriff’s Office. This initiative addressed a vital public safety and public health issue. Medicines that languish in home cabinets are highly susceptible to diversion, misuse and abuse. Rates of prescription drug abuse in the U.S. are alarmingly high, as are the number of accidental poisonings and overdoses due to these drugs. Studies show that a majority of abused prescription drugs are obtained from family and friends, including from the home medicine cabinets. In addition, Americans are now advised that their usual methods for disposing of unused medicines, flushing them down the toilet or throwing them in the trash, both pose potential safety and health hazards. Four days after last fall’s event, Congress passed the Secure and Responsible Drug Disposal Act of 2010, which amends the Controlled Substances Act to allow an “ultimate user” of controlled substance medications to dispose of them by delivering them to entities authorized by the Attorney General to accept them. The Act also allows the Attorney General to authorize longterm care facilities to dispose of their residents’ controlled substances in certain instances. DEA has begun drafting regulations to implement the Act.

Spring Home Improvement
Saturday March 26, twelve Ridgewood High School students competed for top honors at the District #13 Science Fair at the University of Mount Union in Alliance, Ohio. Amanda Matchett received a superior rating on her Energy & Physics project, “A Pocket Full of Sunshine”. Her project was a study of how the distance to a light source has an impact on the amount of solar energy produced in a solar cell. She will make her second consecutive appearance at State Science Day in May. She competed and earned a superior last year. At Mount Union, she was awarded the U.S. Army award for her efforts at District #13 Science Fair. Jarrett Art, an 8th grader, received a superior award on his project in Behavioral Science called “The Music Within Us”. His study was on how different types of music relate to the changes

Mulch 101: Get to know the unsung hero of the garden (ARA) - Gardeners know that mulch is a greatlooking layer of topping on the soil in gardens and landscapes, but mulch is so much more than just a decorative cover. Mirroring the leaf layer found on a forest floor, mulch covering can benefit both plants and soil. There are many different types of mulch to consider. Some mulch contains leaves and bark that decompose and break down over time, while others contain things like pebbles and shredded tires. Mulch’s benefits run much deeper than beauty. * A mulch layer can moderate the soil temperature reducing the effects of extreme heat or cold. * Soil condition may be improved by the decomposing matter from mulch that provides plants with added nutrition. * Mulching a garden creates the ideal environment for earthworms and beneficial organisms. * If heavy rains or soil erosion is an issue, mulch can help reduce these effects. Weeds will find it difficult to become established and grow in a mulched area. Using mulch in the flower and vegetable garden is always a good idea. Not only does it “finish” a bed, but it also creates a path through the garden, even during wet conditions. Use mulch to create trails through planting areas or even non-planted areas, such as under a swing set to prevent erosion, or around a bird feeder to prevent fallen seeds from germinating. Mulch is not just for gardens and landscaping anymore. Use a two-inch layer of mulch at the top of indoor plant containers to help cover unsightly soil, conserve water and keep them looking great.
Available varieties of mulching materials are diverse and nearly limitless. Most preferable however, are mulches that break down over time and add to the nutritional make-up, or tilth, of soil. Most commonly used mulching materials are: bark or wood chips, leaves, grass clippings, straw or hay, newspaper, pine needles, cocoa shells and compost. Each offers unique benefits, depending on use. * Wood chip or bark mulches offer a nice “finished” look, while providing numerous benefits and requiring very little upkeep. These types of mulch are also readily available nationwide. Scotts Nature Scapes Advanced Mulch provides even more benefits than the average wood mulch. Although most bark-based mulches lose color and fade to gray after a few weeks, Nature Scapes mulch has a one-year color guarantee. So, if new mulch is added to your landscaping more than once a year, Nature Scapes can help to save time and money. In addition, the Water Smart technology used in this product has a water-channeling property that prevents over watering in flowers and produces
beds by channeling water directly to the roots. This helps use up to 30 percent less water. * Leaves and grass clippings have the added bonus of being free. However, leaves will need to be chopped up with a mower first and left to compost over the winter for the best value to the garden. Grass clippings decompose quickly and are not as attractive as some other forms of mulch. Both of these materials are better capitalized on if simply chopped up and left on the lawn for a layer of mulch added directly to grass. * Straw or hay is inexpensive, but may contain seeds that will germinate in the garden. * Newspaper is also cheap, but will need to be wet down first, and then covered with another type of mulch to prevent it from blowing away. * Pine needles may drastically increase the soil acidity and are best limited to mulching around acid-loving plants such as blueberries and rhododendrons. * Cocoa shells are becoming popular in many areas because of the unique look, but this is not advisable for pet owners. When ingested by pets, the cocoa shells may cause illness. * Compost is always a great idea because it not only adds nutritional value to the soil, but also is an excellent way to recycle waste. For maximum effect, a 3- to 4-inch layer of compost is required. This is often used in conjunction with another form of mulch, such as wood chips or bark. Mulch may not get the glory in the garden or landscape it deserves, but this often-overlooked cousin of soil has a lot to offer. Even if you just use mulch for its neat appearance, you will still reap all of its wonderful benefits.

Family fun coming to Ridgewood Elementary Carnival by beth scott The Ridgewood PTO will be sponsoring their first ever carnival on Saturday, April 16 from Noon – 4 p.m. in the Ridgewood Elementary auditorium. The carnival is a fundraiser for the students at Ridgewood Elementary and will go toward such things as playground equipment, field trips, and school supplies. Last fall, the Ridgewood Elementary PTO had a fundraiser that didn’t go over as well as planned, so they came up with the idea to have a family-fun carnival with everything from carnival games to a basket auction. Throughout the day, there will be cake walks with cakes and cupcakes generously made and donated by parents. Todd and Kelly St. Clair from Cambridge will be showing off their collection of snakes and bugs in the music room. They have everything from boas to scorpions to a 10 foot albino python. All the animals can be handled, except the scorpions, which will be on display only. There will be something for the whole family to enjoy at the carnival including balloon animals created by the third grade class, and, for $2, even sandy candy. Sandy candy is just like the different-colored sand in a jar kids make at fairs and festivals, only with candy, so they are very similar to pixie stix, only bigger and with a variety of flavors.

HOPEWELL BENEFIT AUCTION

In a philanthropic move destined to inspire students, community members and fellow givers, Granville philanthropists J. Gilbert Reese and Luella H. Reese are calling the community to action with a $10 million challenge. This challenge will raise endowed funds to support scholarships benefitting students attending Central Ohio Technical College and The Ohio State University at Newark in perpetuity. As an integral part of Central Ohio Technical College, the Coshocton community will play an important role in the challenge. J. Gilbert Reese is one of the founding fathers of Central Ohio Technical College and The Ohio State University Newark and has played a critical role in the continued success of both institutions. Central Ohio Technical College President, Dr. Bonnie L. Coe, said, “The Reeses will match up to $10 million for all gifts and pledges made between April 30, 2010 and June 30, 2012 to support the growth of endowed scholarships for COTC or Ohio State Newark students. The challenge will match gifts dollar-for-dollar up to $10 million. Gifts can be made to the Newark Campus Development Fund (NCDF), a permanent, locally controlled endowment fund that provides funding for innovative projects and scholarships at COTC and Ohio State Newark as well as to COTC and Ohio State Newark directly.” The $10 million of community support plus the $10 million in matched dollars will provide an unprecedented $20 million of endowed scholarships with approximately four hundred $2,000 student scholarships awarded annually in perpetuity. With a still uncertain economy and unemployment lingering around 10% in the region, these scholarships come with perfect timing. The Coshocton campus will also benefit from this campaign. Dr. Coe said, “This is an investment in the local community. We expect employment for Ohio associate degree graduates to grow by 23.1% over the next decade, making the Coshocton campus an ideal platform for economic growth in Coshocton and surrounding counties.” “This is an opportunity to transform all of the communities served by COTC,” said Kim Barton, Development Officer for COTC. “It’s a way for people to double the impact of their philanthropic dollars and help intelligent, deserving students better themselves with a quality higher education.” Dr. Coe said, “The Reeses are very supportive of our extended campuses. Because they support our extended campuses, they are going to match any contribution from Pataskala, Knox County, and Coshocton. The match will be held in Licking County for Licking County students, but a donation from a donor, for example, in Coshocton, will be restricted to the Coshocton campus.” Dr. Coe also said, “We have a history of collaboration and being frugal by sharing resources with both institutions.” (Central Ohio Technical College and The Ohio State University at Newark) Cost sharing allows two smaller institutions to realize the economies of scale and associated benefits of an institution twice the

Ridgewood boys track still optimistic after losing five seniors by Jim Barstow There is a passing of the baton going on within the Ridgewood High School boys track & field team as it jumps into the 2011 season. The Generals lost five team members who participated in the state meet last season and are now looking for individuals to fulfill new, vital roles. Most affected by graduation have been the Generals’ sprint, sprintrelay, hurdle and distance events but coach Josh Lahmers believes there is a strong pool of candidates among the team’s 33-man roster. “Last year we didn’t have a lot of depth and that was probably our biggest weakness but graduation opened up a lot of spots,” he said. “It’s a rebuilding year but there is a lot of competition in a lot of different events.” Hoping to replace the state-qualifying members of the 100- and 200-meter relays made up by Austin Bates (who also qualified for states in the 300 hurdles), Jake Conrad, Colt Landis and James Wiggins and Nate Anderson. Vying for the vacancies are seniors Jarod Conrad, Nick Bellik and Jay McVay; juniors Mark Border, Chris Saylor, Lenard Davidson and Jake Zeigler; sophomores Tyler Rizer and Zach Israel; and freshmen D.J. Varian and Laken Bluck. “So far we have been pretty good with our relays,” Lahmers said. “The 4-by-100 is sort of picking up right where last year’s team left off. We’re not quite to the point where they were, but we’re showing potential.” Saylor finished fifth in last year’s regional and missed qualifying for the state meet in the pole vault by one place. Conrad will also compete in the hurdles. In the distance events, senior Luke Feldner returns, who in the 1600and 3200-meter run, will need to step up in the loss of Brad Olinger, the Inter-Valley Conference distance runner of the year. It is Feldner’s fourth varsity season. Another senior, Ryan Cunningham had a great cross country campaign in the fall and will push Feldner and he in turn will be pushed by the senior trio of Travis Schlabach, Tyler Bradford and Marley Cumbee.” Juniors in the mix are Daniel Burch, Patrick Cushman and Nigel Hackenbrackt as is sophomore Lindy McConnell and freshman Jason Abel. Freshman Cole Zeigler will compete in the middle distance races and junior Davey Garber in the hurdles. In the field events, the shot put and discus crew will be paced by juniors Evan Jones and Joe Holmes and senior Donald Mullet. Sophomore Ben Newell also push for his place in the mix as well junior Tyler Mann, freshman Jared Lindig. Senior Richard Hawthorne is a legitimate 20-foot threat in the long jump and a solid high jumper. Junior Derek Lahna will also high jump. Junior Jacob Gallagher will also compete. Pole vaulters are Saylor and freshman Hayden Burkholder. Saylor was a regional qualifier last season in that event. “For a lot of our kids, they are competing in their first-ever track meets so it’s a learning experience,” said Lahmers. “But we have some key pieces to the puzzle. It’s just a matter of whether we can put it all together. “There is some potential, but I don’t know yet if that means “state material”, we don’t know yet.”

Ridgewood girls track head coach optimistic by Jim Barstow about 2011 season Head coach Chris Cabot’s assessment of the Ridgewood girls track & field squad bodes pretty well for the 2011 season. “We seem to be solid across the board,” Cabot said. “I’m not sure we are strong in any particular area but a solid number of girls makes us fairly deep from the team standpoint.” Among the leading returnees are seniors in sprinter Jasmine Valdez, hurdlers Jessica Casterline and Jordan Viaea, shot put and discus thrower Laissie stocker and distance runner Paige Erb. Juniors include Roxanne Thursby, Haley Wiggins and Meghan Cunningham in the sprints and sprint relays, Ali Lusk in the shot put and discus and Kayla Tedrick and Alaynee Wright in middle distance and long jump. Cunningham will also compete in the pole vault. Sophomore contributors include Maddy Jones and Madison Kistler in middle distances, Victoria Wiggins in sprints and relays, Kira Smalley in the pole vault and Paige Lane and Mackenzie Bates in the throws. Newcomers include senior Anna Viega and juniors Halie Schwab and Alayna Frazee. “We lost a lot of seniors from last season so we will have to look for people to step up and fill their shoes,” Cabot said.” He also expects the Lady General to compete with Sandy Valley, Garaway, Tuscarawas Central Catholic and Strasburg for supremacy in the IVC. “They all have solid teams and look for the league to be competitive,” Cabot added. “Our goal is to be in the mix and try to compete and have a shot at winning the league meet.”

The River View track uniform has been very visible and hopefully we can continue that.” Seniors whom Gray says will contribute to that continued success include sprinter David McVay, who placed fifth in first year’s regional 200-meter dash while Marcus Elgart will run the varsity boys track Team (Names are not in order of appearance.)

The River View Girls Track team photo was not available at the time of press. The photo and roster will be printed as soon as the photo is available.
The Lady Bears track team will be a young squad with only a handful of seniors leading the team. “We need to replace some pretty good athletics and we lost most of our points from last year,” head coach Vince Andrews said. “We may not be as strong as we were last year, but we’ll be okay. We have a good mix and a lot of potential in a lot of the events so we’ll be competitive.” Andrews has high expectations for senior Kari Carnes and juniors Tanna Rodehaver and Kristin Eaton, sophomore Tamika Long and freshman Bailey Moore in the sprints, senior Kim Sycks in the hurdles, juniors Rachel Hammond and Keirsten Ashcraft in the distance events and Laura Lauvray and Ciarra Ramsey in the throws. Rodehaver will also compete in the long jump while sophomore Katie Smith will compete in the sprints, long jump and high jump.
