Pictured are members of the Ridgewood High School Concert Choir performing at the Dogwood Festival in Coshocton on May 6. The womens’ group is called “Common Cents” and the men’s group is called “Spare Change”. Stephen Snyder, Choir Director and Assistant Band Director at Ridgewood, said, “The choir usually performs with the chorale with December and May being very busy months. We perform for mother – daughter banquets, churches, etc. If you would like our group to perform, please call the school office at 740-545-6345. Our performances are really a service to the community. Chris Fleming, who was enjoying the performance, said of the group, “I really enjoy it – it’s great for the community and the kids get to exhibit all their talents. My niece Jayma Leavengood is in the Ridgewood Jazz Band”. (Beacon photo by Mark Fortune)

MARK FORTUNE I am devoting this week’s column to the upcoming American Cancer Society Relay for Life event. This event will be held at the Coshocton County Fairgrounds on Friday and Saturday, May 15 and 16, beginning at 5 pm on Friday evening. The weather will be ideal of course – as it always is for this wonderful community event! This 24 hour event – from 6 pm on Friday through 6 pm Saturday, is held to raise funds for cancer research. Cancer deaths have been on the decline – and much of this success is attributed to the monies raised by Relay’s held around the world. The Coshocton County Relay for Life is something special. The many hours of volunteer effort, quilt making, cake baking, Miss Relay contestant efforts, fund raising and more make this
a premier event in our community. Our hats must go off to applaud the numerous fund raisers held throughout Coshocton County during the past year. You know that an event is special when the planning for the next year begins almost immediately following the final lap on the track. I would venture to say that these people – the people that volunteer their time, talents and energy to make the Relay possible – are one of the finest examples of people that live in our community. I doubt that there is anyone living in Coshocton County that has not been affected in some way by this dreaded disease. Whether it is a close family member, friend, coworker or neighbor, cancer affects us all. I would add that these people – the survivors and their families – or those that gave it their all – are our true heroes. LeBron James – a super athlete – yes, a great person – yes, a hero, no. This weekend might be a great opportunity for all of us to see some true heroes. Let’s try to instill in our children and grandchildren what the

real meaning of a hero is. Wikipedia says that a hero (male) or heroine (female) refers to characters (fictional or historical) that, in the face of danger and adversity or from a position of weakness, display courage and the will for self sacrifice – that is, heroism – for some greater good, originally of martial courage or excellence but extended to more general moral excellence. Sorry Manny Ramirez, that definition does not define you. Sorry Hollywood actors and actresses. Sorry race car drivers and professional athletes. Sure, we may like you, admire you and look up to you – but overall, our cancer survivors – and those that did not survive - are way higher up the list. Let’s keep them there. There are so many people that could be mentioned as heroes in this fight. Take a look at the luminaria list of names in the Relay Program – those that are listed in the “In Honor Of” section and especially in the ‘In Memory Of” section. They are all heroes. And, as with each year, there are many names published this year that will bring tears to many eyes. Alana Branstetter, who would
have graduated this spring from Coshocton, and little Jenna Dawson, who fought a courageous and brave fight, just to name a few. There are so many others. Let’s make sure that this Relay is truly about our local heroes. Let’s Celebrate Hope – and remember - at this year’s Relay – knowing that one day we will find a cure for this dreadful disease. As the survivors round the track – let’s give them a rousing round of applause. They deserve that and more.
Bible Verse May your unfailing love rest upon us, O LORD, even as we put our hope in you. Psalm 33:22 (NIV)

Ridgewood Choir earns straight “One’s” Straight “One”s includes the highest score possible in sight-reading, where the choir performs a song they’ve never seen before for a judge. They are allowed four minutes to study the piece beforehand, when they are allowed to discuss amongst themselves, and receive instruction, but may not produce any pitches. The choir then sings the piece once through with piano, and are allowed one more minute to re-evaluate the piece in the same fashion as before. The concluding stage is that the choir then sings the piece “a cappella”, or without any instrumental support. Concert Choir is an au-
ditioned choir of forty-one students that meets during the regular school day. There are approximately ten singers on each of the four voice parts. This is the group’s fourth year in existence, and also their fourth year going to contest. This was their second trip to the State level. The choir would like to thank the Ridgewood and West Lafayette communities for all of their support over the past several years, and especially the Ridgewood administrators. The choir also expressed appreciation and thanks to Mrs. Geneva Martin and Pastor Sue Chidley for their accompanist help.

On Friday, April 24, the Ridgewood High School Concert Choir traveled to Jackson High School in Canton for O.M.E.A. State Contest, and earned a Superior rating from each of the four judges. This rating of straight “One”s is the highest score possible at the State level. This is the only the second choir in school history to earn a “One” at State contest, and the first to do so with both males and females using the traditional soprano, alto, tenor, & bass voice division. The only other Ridgewood choir to receive a “One” at the State level was a women’s choir back in 1982.

People without this syndrome have two elastin genes that are intact. However, in individuals with Williams Syndrome, one of these genes are missing. The elastin gene is a protein which helps our arteries, lungs, blood vessels and heart tissue to expand and then retract to their original size. This helps doctors and parents to understand why children with Williams Syndrome have some complications with organs that require elastin. However, it is still not known how the absence of one gene affects the structure of these tissues in the body. That’s why research is vital. The race will start at 8:15 a.m. and walkers are to meet in the picnic shelter by the Pavilion. The first fifty applicants will receive a teeshirt donated by Jeff Drennen Dealerships.

Awards Presented for Outstanding Coshocton Senior Center has a Service for Victims of Crime By Jan Myers fun day in store for local seniors
Several local residents received awards for their service to victims of crime recently at a luncheon held during National Crime Victims’ Rights Week. The 2009 Certificates of Appreciation for Outstanding Service for Crime Victims were awarded to Chief Terry Mardis of the West Lafayette Police Department; Andrea Sims, RN at CCMH; Amy Moore, Attorney at Law; and Tam-

Emily Kobel is the Victim Witness Coordinator at the Coshocton Prosecutor’s Office. “I work as a victims advocate,” she said. “I can go to court with the victim and help make the experience less intimidating.” Kobel coordinates the local Victims’ Rights Luncheon each year.

Why We relay By: Beth Dulaney
According to the American Cancer Society, an estimated 292,540 men and 269,800 women will be diagnosed with and die from cancer this year. The Relay for Life Organization is committed to decreasing that number and to one day soon, find a cure for what is quickly becoming an epidemic. Relay for Life is an event where people from all around the country walk for the cure. It is usually held at a school or a local park where different teams gather to walk around an area lit with luminaries which are dedicated in honor or memory of a person who has had cancer. One of those teams in the Coshocton area is Team Alana. Alana Branstetter was a young woman who was a victim of a certain type of blood cancer and who would have been a graduating senior at Coshocton High School this year. Maxine Branstetter, Alana’s mother, said that the team started out with just family members, but then grew to approximately two hundred people, most of who were Alana’s classmates. “I am just overjoyed with the response from the community,” said Branstetter, “It’s all for a good cause. If they could just find a cure, then no other parent would have to go through what I went through. What I’m still going through.” The first year Branstetter walked with Relay for Life, her daughter had just become ill and was able to walk with her. Shortly afterwards, Alana went into remission but unfortunately was re-diagnosed on her sixteenth birthday. Since then, Branstetter, along with her sister, Jolea Cognion, has become team captain of Team Alana. Georgia Summit is another local woman who has been deeply affected by cancer. She has been involved with Relay for Life for ten years and has been team captain of Team Family Matters for the passed three years. Her team has approximately fifteen members and they are all family and friends. “Our whole family has really been

struck by cancer, so we do this to help raise money for the cure,” said Summit, “Our team motto is that we want to wipe out cancer.” One year, Summit said that her husband made a toilet paper holder with a sign that said, ‘We want to wipe out cancer.’ They sold it at the Relay for Life along with a cake they had made. Practically her entire family has been diagnosed with cancer at some point in their lives. Summit’s mother and father both passed away from cancer, her husband has had five different types of skin cancer in his life, and Summit herself has had cancer. She has carsinoid cancer. Carcinoid tumors are small and slow to grow which are mostly found in the gastrointestinal system, but can be found in other places as well. Since these tumors grow slowly, sometimes it could take years before the victim realizes there is a problem. “This type of cancer starts out slowgrowing, but then can really take off,” said Summit, “It can be as small as a pinpoint but still cause so many problems.” Summit said she still has a small spot on her liver and takes injections every day to help control her cancer. She has the same
type of cancer that Wendy’s Dave Thomas had and even goes to the same doctor. Another team fighting for the cause is Team Hart to Heart. This is their first year with Relay for Life and has about fifty people on the team with Jamie Thomas as the team’s captain. The team is named after Thomas’s father and cousin who both had ‘hart’ in their last name. Her father was taken by prostate cancer while her cousin had lung cancer. The team is made up of family and close friends and Thomas developed the team by going to Relay for Life meetings and learning a lot from other teams, such as fundraising ideas. In March, Thomas had a pancake breakfast and bake sale where she raised $1,000 for the Cancer Society. There are so many ways to help out with this organization. Of course, money is always needed for further research, but people in the community can give their time as well. For example, Maxine Branstetter said that so many people have given their time to Team Alana, and it really means a lot just to know that people care. Terri Owens has made a quilt that will be raffled off during the Relay and all proceeds will go toward the team. Linda Weber will be singing and selling CDs with all proceeds going toward Team Alana. Gary’s Muffler Shop has helped them with candy bar sales and KFC has always been there to help with Team Alana and will be walking with them this year. Branstetter’s father, who is a cancer survivor, will be playing music and her brother will be playing music as well, all for the cause and to honor the memory of Alana. “I’m just so surprised at the number of people who came out to support us,” said Branstetter, “And we just want everyone to know that Alana is still in our hearts and that she’ll be with us on graduation day.” Coshocton’s Relay for Life will be May 15 and 16 from 6 p.m. on Friday to 6 p.m. on Saturday at the fairgrounds.

Bill Smart was captain of the barge “The Stranger” and Jackson Williams took up residence in
Roscoe in 1835. Do you remember Tinker Dobson or meeting in the Jackson Township Hall for FFA?

Don’t miss a shining spot called “Camelot”
In the first scene of Camelot, King Arthur (Roger Foster) is mesmerized by both the beauty and voice of Queen Guinevere (Samantha Servais) as he listens to her beseech the Gods. (Beacon photo by Mark Fortune)
sical. People have ideas of Richard Harris and Richard Burton. Another icon is King Arthur himself – a figure shrouded in mystery. People in the audience have their own expectations – you may miss it by a mile but you want the audience to come along with you. King Arthur is a consummately decent man and
encounters circumstances that are insurmountable yet still finds a way to be a shining example. The great reward of all this is to work with wonderful people and make new friends. This is a level of intimacy that if you don’t do it – it’s really hard to understand the depths of friendships that come from this circumstance”.

The Coshocton Footlight Players will be presenting performances of Lerner and Loewe’s “Camelot” at 8:00 p.m. on May 14, 15, 16, 21, 22 and 23 at the Triple Locks Theatre. Directed by Shane Pyle and starring Roger Foster as King Arthur and newcomer Samantha Servais as Queen Guinevere, the performance has over 40 talented people including actors, actresses, orchestra, lighting, sound and backstage crew. Pyle said, “I feel so fortunate to be working with all of these people. We live in such a small community and are blessed with talent. Our goal is not only to teach but also to let people have fun”. Camelot is Pyle’s seventh production in eight years at the Triple Locks Theatre. Dave Osso, in the role of Sir Dinadan, said, “It’s a fabulous play because of the history – it has a lot of allure and all of the things medieval, including some very challenging roles. Roger Foster, in the lead male role of King Arthur, stated, “This is challenging. It’s a popular mu-
Samantha Servais, who hails from Cambridge, and has the lead female role as Queen Guinevere, said, when asked why Coshocton and why this character, “The chance to play this role is a one in a lifetime chance. I’ve always loved this musical. I’ve found through this experience that Coshocton has a wonderful community theatre. I’ve done a lot of community theatre and this group is one of the best I’ve ever worked with. Even though this is a small facility, there is a wonderful spirit here – you can feel it when you walk through the doors – and that comes out in everything they do. I feel blessed to work with everyone in this group”. Having witnessed just a couple of the opening scenes on full dress rehearsal night, this writer can tell you that you will be blessed to see this performance. For tickets call 740-622-2959. You can also visit the website at www.footlightplayers.com for more information. Due to the high volume of sales, two Thursday performances have been added – on May 14 and May 21.

Canal Quilters hold show
www.coshoctoncountybeacon.com • Classified Hotline 622-4ADS
Sportsmen’s Association hosts youth fishing derby
Pictured is Mitzi Vance, next to her first place themed quilt. The quilt design was based on Louisa May Alcott’s “Little Women”. Vance said, “I like the story quilts and the Civil War has always been one of my favorite historical periods. I saw this design in a book and I thought it was different”. Vance has been in the local guild since 2004. (Beacon photo by Mark Fortune)
Theresa Scheetz, co-chair of the Coshocton Canal Quilters Butternut and Blue quilt show, said, “We certainly want to thank the Coshocton High School football team – they’re a lot of fun – and as long as you give them cupcakes – they’re happy! The football team helped install the hangers that the quilts are displayed on for the show, which was held at Agents Auction Gallery on May 1, 2 and 3. All kidding aside, Scheetz reported that over 100 people had attended the show (as of Saturday morning) and she stated that, “Quilting has been through many ebbs and flows – but is currently enjoying an upsurge – I think because you can share things and the internet has also made a big difference. And although
it’s a very social thing – you can do this alone or in a group – quilting is also artistic, and quilts make great gifts and they also keep you warm! The artistic and the social networking is really what it’s about, and getting together with a couple of your friends to shop-hop is a lot of fun. The significance of this particular show is partly because the manufacturers are currently stressing making Civil War type fabrics. This is also Abraham Lincoln’s 200th birthday so that obviously has a lot of historical significance. We also have a lot of Civil War artifacts here at the show”. Marilyn Hothem said, “This is my first year in the guild. I’m having a lot of fun getting back into quilting”.
Pictured at the annual Youth Fishing Derby at Lake Park is Brooke Mellor (age 11), the daughter of Bret and Faye Mellor. Mellor was brought to the event by Janice Reigle and Bill Shaw, who said Brooke, “wanted to fish the tournament. She’s had a few bites so far”. Mellor had positioned herself on top of a fallen tree that extended a few feet into Lake Park, presumably a good spot to catch fish. (Beacon photo by Mark Fortune)
With over 100 participants, the annual youth fishing derby, held at Lake Park on a sunny Saturday morning, was an enthusiastic gathering for children, parents and grandparents wishing to pass along the skill of fishing to the younger generation. The Coshocton County Sportsmen’s Association currently boasts over 550 members and Ralph Dickerson, president since 1986 – said,
“The Isaac Walton league used to do this, we took it over when they folded – we’ve done this for around 20 years now. Our goal is to keep the kids interested in fishing – the kids are the future of fishing. Not many parents have time today to take their kids fishing – but a lot of people do set this day aside. We’re glad to be able to continue this tradition for the community”.
Black Bear Fest features fun and family The second annual River View Black Bear Fest, “A Celebration of Excellence” is a day designed to recognize and celebrate the many wonderful accomplishments of River View students and faculty. River View schools have received an “Excellent” ranking from the Ohio Department of Education for the past three years. With everything from a dunking tank to tractors, car show, petting zoo, bands, choirs, Dominos’ Pizza, games, inflatable’s, horse rides, dodge ball and much in between, the near 70 degree temperature combined with a strong breeze for a beautiful Saturday event. Shannon Sammons (8th grade) and Brittany Wood (11th grade) both said about the event, ‘It’s a lot of fun. We’re going to go line dancing and watch dodge
ball after we finish eating”. Wood added, “I enjoy this – it’s a great family event and a chance for people to see the school and the activities that we have here at River View”. Warsaw principal Frank Polen, who drew quite a crowd at the dunking booth (Polen was the dunkee!) said, “It’s for a great cause. Anything we can do to help is a good thing”. Donations from the dunking booth were going to the River View Relay for Life team. Polen continued, “It’s all in good fun. If someone gets their life saved because of this, it’s all worth it”. 10 year old Jake Grossman, who attends Warsaw Elementary and had just knocked his principal Mr. Polen into the dunk tank, said, “It felt good!” He’s (Polen) one of the best principals I’ve ever had”.
The “Mighty Six Plus 1” team of all freshmen defeated the Dudes in Action team and claimed a title for a second straight year. Taran Martin exclaimed, “I feel like a winner!” Michael Adams and Jason Hammond both said, “It’s cool that a team of freshmen beat a group of seniors”. Pictured from left to right are; Michael Adams, Austen Guthrie, Jordan Bradford, Colt Kelso, Jason Hammond, Taran Martin and Shawn Walters. (Beacon photo by Mark Fortune)

Mrs. Francie Berg is the principal at Lincoln. Mrs. Jackie Jackson said, "In the past the kids were given bookmarkers that were purchased and already printed.

The week also included activities like the Read-A-Thon in which the kids collect pledges for the books that they read during the week and special dress-up days for a charge of 25 cents each day.

Textile art began thousands of years ago as an embellishment for costume and blanket, always bound to function, setting and custom. Today these elements serve more as a springboard for an art form that flaunts 21st century possibilities. The Johnson-Humrickhouse Museum, in Coshocton, Ohio, is pleased to present an exhibition of innovative textile art May 16 – Aug. 9. Pushing the Surface features 24 art quilts by artists from across the United States as well as Israel and Ireland. No longer fit for a bed, the art quilt has the nerve to be any size or shape and more often than not, has thrown symmetry to the wind. These pieces may be painted, dyed, laser printed, appliquéd or fused. The techniques are as varied as the subject matter, which is as varied as the effect. What they do share in common is the basic quilt feature of joining at least two layers by quilting. Pushing the Surface, a biennial event at the mu-
seum, is in its sixth year. An ample number of works by Ohio artists is always showcased. This year’s participants include Sharon Bell (Shaker Heights), Dorothy Bush (Columbus), Georgie Cline (Columbus), Britt Friedman (Oberlin), Theresa Heaton (Fremont), John Lefelholz (Athens), June O’Neil (Cleveland Heights), and Sonja Henney Tugend (Wooster). Lefelholz’s work, which is usually a satirical comment on some malady in our American culture, is entitled Robbing Peter to Pay Paul. No doubt this piece will continue in the same vein. For a more pictorial approach, Georgie Cline’s Sciota River XIV will evoke appreciation of the natural beauty found in Ohio. The remaining fifteen artists emanate from other states and countries. Floridian Kathy Weaver will amaze viewers with her Dynamic Systems. A fantasy piece, the design resembles the complex intertwining of internal organs as well as the
bright colors and diversity of forms found in a coral reef. The glowing colors and fabulous shapes make this quilt an unforgettable piece. Jane Lloyd’s piece, Spiral Horizons, is composed of many, many rows and columns of spirals in a wide spectrum of colors. Overlaying the spirals are circles, vertical lines and broken horizontal lines. The complexity of this piece along with its hypnotic charisma is testimony to the aesthetic and technical ability of this artist from Ireland. Michiganite Elizabeth Busch’s Echo is also an eerie piece. In each of its thirty squares are glowing white “balls” that seem to float off the surface. Concentric circles are quilted in the center of the piece, creating an inward focus for the piece. Pushing the Surface‘s extraordinary quilts make for a spirited and unforgettable exhibit. In addition to the Montgomery Gallery where Pushing the Surface is featured, the museum displays its permanent collections
in three galleries: Historic Ohio, American Indian and Asian. Mechanical musical machines are currently on display in a fifth gallery. The Ohio Arts Council helps fund this museum with state tax dollars to encourage economic growth, educational excellence and cultural enrichment for all Ohioans. The Johnson-Humrickhouse Museum is open daily from noon to 5:00 P.M. May through October and is located at 300 N. Whitewoman Street, in Historic Roscoe Village, Coshocton, Ohio. A restored canal-era town sited along the former Ohio & Erie Canal, Roscoe Village offers many attractions. Costumed interpreters lead tours through the restored buildings, and numerous shops are situated within the Village.
