COSHOCTON – The Indian Mud Run is just around the corner and organizer Hubie Cushman needs volunteers to help him prepare for the more than 600 participants that are expected at the Saturday, June 25 event.

“We want to have close to 40 obstacles,” Cushman said.

This is the fifth year for the Indian Mud Run which offers competitors a 3.5 mile course in the beautiful setting of Lake Park with multiple obstacles to challenge people’s physical and mental strength.

“Two, possibly three, of the obstacles are from the top 10 obstacles of the World Championship,” said Cushman. “I was fortunate to be on the crew for the World Championship in Cincinnati and got to know the guy who runs the top rated obstacle race in Europe. The signature obstacle is dragon’s back, which is usually $3,000 to $4,000 to use, but we are getting the chance to use it for free. He wants to bring his race to the United States and some major obstacle races are showing interest in using our course.”

Senior graduates from Coshocton Christian School COSHOCTON – Ruth-Anne Coates has had a passion for cooking ever since she can remember. At just 10 years of age, her father taught her how to use a knife and slice tomatoes. On Friday, May 20, she took the next step in her journey to become a chef when she graduated from the Coshocton Christian School.

“I remember when she was 10, I smelled something coming from the basement, and I thought something was on fire,” said Dale Coates, Ruth-Anne’s dad. “But she was making a cake and it turned out beautifully.”

Ruth-Anne was part of the culinary arts program at the Coshocton County Career Center and studied with Mike Cichon. During her graduation ceremony, she was presented with the Julia Childs award.

“I never got upset with her when she made a mess in the kitchen,” said Deborah Coates, Ruth-Anne’s mom.

“Sometimes it would take me two days to clean up the kitchen, but I always thought if I demanded a perfectly clean kitchen, I would stifle her creativity. Sometimes,

May was National Community Action Month

To the Editor, On Aug. 20, 1964, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Economic Opportunity Act which created a variety of programs, including Community Action Agencies, as part of his War on Poverty. He knew then as we know now that the war against poverty must be won in the field, in every private home, in every public office, from the courthouse to the White House. Community Action Month is a wonderful time to honor and celebrate the impact Community Action has on the lives of families and communities across the country and, in contrast, to highlight the problems of poverty, growing economic inequality and the need to bring millions of struggling families and individuals nationwide into the middle class. Agencies are successful every day in helping families achieve economic security. Given that the needs of each family and community are unique, Community Action is able to use a range of resources and programs to meet local needs in creative and impactful ways.

Today there are approximately 1,000 Community Action Agencies across the U.S. covering 99% of the nation’s counties. They are all connected through national and state networks; however, each is autonomous. Locally,

KHCA is private, non-profit 501(c)(3) organization with a Board of Directors made up of local community members and also partners with many different agencies to maximize local resources to meet local needs.

The Kno-Ho-Co-Ashland Community Action Commission (KHCA) was established in 1965 to wage the war on poverty on a personal level in Knox, Holmes, Coshocton and later Ashland Counties by promoting self-sufficiency for those of limited income ensuring that all residents are able to live in dignity, by implementing innovative and cost-effective programs to improve the lives and living conditions of the impoverished, by providing support and instruction for everyone in need of assistance, and by being a major voice of reason in establishing welfare system reforms.

KHCA statistics underscore the positive impact Community Action has on our neighborhoods. The agency helps countless individuals improve their lives each year by providing them essential services and life-changing opportunities through a broad spectrum of programming to serve children through the elderly including Head Start, women’s health clinics, a dental clinic, affordable housing, weatherization and energy

Consider Roy Rich on Nov. 8

To the Editor, I think that as responsible and caring citizens of Ohio, we all need to take a close look at how things are going in our own Congressional 7th district. We are all familiar with the phrase “Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” These values should include a living wage, good healthcare, and equal rights for all.

For too long, our community has struggled due to the same old ways of thinking.

Retired police officer Roy Rich brings a fresh perspective to our 7th Congressional district. If you believe peace and prosperity should be shared by all, you may want to give Roy a look.

Everyone who meets Roy is impressed. I’m hoping that on Tuesday, November 8th, we can all agree that “Roy Rich is our guy.” Visit rich4congress.com to learn more about Roy’s vision and values.

efficiency programs, homeless shelters, emergency services including rent, utility and home heating assistance as well as senior citizen programming including hot meals and supportive services. KHCA typically serves over 10,000 households a year. The organization has in excess of 170 employees and KHCA volunteers contribute over 15,000 volunteer hours annually to the betterment of their communities.

Despite experiencing budget cuts, shrinking resources and increased demands for services during these challenging economic times, KHCA has been remarkably successful assisting the low-income and working poor families, senior citizens, children and everyone in between to achieve and maintain economic security.

Our staff and Board of Directors are committed to their task of replacing disadvantages with opportunities, turning hope into reality for families and communities and creating pathways to self-sufficiency. To learn more visit www.knohoco.org J. Michael Stephens President KHCA

Elks makes donations to community organizations

By Josie Sellers josie@coshoctoncountybeacon.com

COSHOCTON – The Coshocton Elks Lodge 376 decided to use its $2,000 grant to help not just one, but four local groups.

The Salvation Army, REACT, the Honor Guard and the Coshocton Canal Quilters received $500 each during a special presentation held May 18 at the Elks.

“Thank you for the support you give us,” said Major Steven Pearl. “We do the best we can to help those in need in our community.”

Tony Wise, who was there representing REACT, was very appreciative of the donation his organization received.

“Thank you everybody,” he said. “This means a lot to us.”

Jack Patterson who accepted the Honor Guard’s donation also expressed his thanks.

“We do probably around 80 military funerals a year and it’s an honor for us to do them,” he said. “Thank you very much for this donation. It will go to good use.”

Karen Caley and Cathy Wegener from the Coshocton Canal Quilters brought two of their patriotic lap quilts to show members of the Elks a project their donation will help with.

“So far they have made over 200 of these that you (our members) have helped us give out to veterans,” said Marilyn Griffis, who presented the checks to the organizations and is a past exalted ruler of the Elks.

Caley was very thankful that the Elks thought of them.

“Marilyn is a fabulous lady and it’s an honor for us to make these quilts for veterans,” Caley said.

Griffis said the $2,000 grant they received came from the Elks National Foundation and it could be used to honor and help organizations in the community.

“Most of these groups have to spend their own money so we wanted to help them out,” she said. “The Canal Quilters also have worked with us on a big scale and the Salvation Army was suggested to us by one of our members for the work they do with young people.”

Kent State Tuscarawas unveils Performing Arts Center 2016-2017 Season

NEW PHILADELPHIA - On Sept. 10, Kent State University at Tuscarawas Performing Arts Center 2016-17 season launches with “Resurrection – A Journey Tribute”, the first of 21 diverse and high-quality performances. The season will also feature comedy, dance, Broadway shows, and additional concerts.

“We have four outstanding Broadway shows on this year’s schedule,” said Dr. Brad Bielski, dean and chief administrative officer of Kent State Tuscarawas. “David Mitchell, our general manager, applied his extensive theatre and Broadway show background to carefully choose “42nd Street”, “Saturday Night Fever”, “Riverdance” and “Once” for this upcoming season. The series will appeal to broad audiences.”

According to Mitchell, “The quintessential backstage musical comedy, “42nd Street” is the song and dance fable of Broadway with an American dream story.” Many of the songs from this musical have become classic hits, such as “We’re In The Money,” “Lullaby of Broadway,” “Shuffle Off To Buffalo,” “Dames,” “I Only Have Eyes For You” and “42nd Street.”

“Saturday Night Fever”, which has a large following, is based on the hit film featuring songs by The Bee Gees.

“Once” is the winner of eight 2012 Tony Awards® including Best Musical. “‘Once’ tells the enchanting tale of a Dublin street musician who’s about to give up on his dream when a beautiful young woman takes a sudden interest in his haunting love songs,” said Mitchell. “During my career, I’ve worked on more than 130 Broadway show engagements and the musical “Once” is in my top five that I’ve seen and worked with. It should be the “don’t miss” show of the season. There will be an actual Irish pub on stage which audience members can visit prior to the show and at intermission. Do I need to say anything more?”

Due to popular demand, the international Irish dance phenomenon “Riverdance” is returning to the Kent State Tuscarawas stage for the second time, with three performances scheduled over three days, March 14 -16.

“Riverdance - The 20th Anniversary World Tour” will feature new costumes, new lighting, new projections and a new number, Anna Livia, featuring the female members of the Irish dance troupe in an a cappella hard-shoe number.

Mitchell selected GroundWorks to be able to invite community participation in the show.

“In coming to Kent State Tuscarawas, one of my goals for the Performing Arts Center was to increase community involvement,” said Mitchell. “With Groundworks Dance Theater, we’ve commissioned them to create a dance piece specifically for local dancers. Auditions will be held and this piece will be incorporated into the show.”

Headlining the diverse Music Series are country favorites Lonestar and the iconic Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, the Beatles tribute show “The Fab-Four – The Ultimate Tribute”, the Cleveland Jazz Orchestra, the nationally recognized pop quartet Under the Streetlamp and the a cappella group VoicePlay.

“Another goal I have set for the PAC is to get artists into the schools to work with local high school students,” said Mitchell. “We’re bringing the a cappella group VoicePlay in three days prior to their show to enable them to go into the schools and work with students.

Some of those students will have the extraordinary op-

portunity to perform with VoicePlay during the concert at the PAC on Saturday evening, Oct. 15.”

Memorable holiday performances will include Mannheim Steamroller, who are returning for the second time and will perform two shows; and “Lightwire Theater’s A Very Electric Christmas”, which includes timeless holiday hits by Nat King Cole, Mariah Carey and Tchaikovsky.

Adding to the rich variety of the season’s shows are: “Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood – Live!”, based on the award-winning PBS television series, it is a fun and heartwarming musical that shares the importance of volunteering in your community; “Broadway’s Next H!T Musical”, the hysterical, improvised and unscripted theatrical awards show; and “Men are From Mars/ Women are From Venus LIVE!”, a light-hearted theatrical comedy based on the New York Times #1 best-selling book of the last decade by John Gray.

The Cabaret Series features performances by the Paul Ferguson Sextet, The Blue Drivers, Honeybucket and returning by popular demand is Kristine Jackson and Austin Walkin’ Cane. The cabaret tickets are $45 and include dinner.

“For the second year, Michael Taylor Insurance & Financial, Inc., will sponsor the upcoming season,” said Bielski. “We are also grateful for the second consecutive year sponsorships of AquaBlue Inc. for the Cabaret Series and the Tuscarawas County Community Foundation’s sponsorship of our Broadway Series. And new this year is Alonovus who is sponsoring our Music Series.

These partnerships enable us to keep our PAC ticket prices affordable and accessible to those who want to attend our shows.”

A complete list of performances and ticket prices are online at www.kent.edu/tusc/pac. PAC members will be able to purchase tickets to the 2016-17 season from May 20 to June 5. Pre-sale packages, four shows or more, can be purchased June 6 - 12. Single show ticket sales begin June 13. Tickets can be purchased by mail, in person at the Performing Arts Center box office, by calling 330308-6400 or online at www.kent.edu/tusc/pac.

Free and convenient parking is available for all shows.

Alumni remember days as Warsaw Pirates

By Josie Sellers josie@coshoctoncountybeacon.com

WARSAW – Once upon a time Warsaw was the home of the pirates and teenagers there proudly wore orange and black.

Alumni of the former Warsaw High School gathered together May 21 to remember the good old days at the 106th annual Warsaw Alumni Association Anniversary Banquet, which was held at their school that now serves as an elementary.

“I like coming to see old friends and I grew up around here,” said Vivienne Darst Spicer.

She graduated from Warsaw High School in 1951 and her class was one of several honored at the banquet.

“I have a pictured of our 40th reunion in 1991 and everyone had skirts on,” Spicer said. “By our 60th everyone had slacks on. It’s a different world now.”

There were 24 people in the class of 1951 and Spicer believes 11 of them are still alive.

The other honor classes were: 1936, 1941, 1946, 1956, 1961 and the River View High School class of 1966.

Class of 1956 member John Siegel attended the banquet with his wife Marilyn Jane Siegel.

“We still live in the area, but haven’t been here for a while,” he said.

John gave his classmate Jim Childress credit for getting their classmates organized.

“We had 37 in our class and there are 13 deceased now,” Childress said. “It’s scary when you get to be 76 and 77 years old. You want to make every effort you can to see each other.”

The class of 1966 only had about 60 to 80 members when it was at Warsaw High School. Those who attended the banquet at Warsaw believe they finished their high school years with a class of 194 when several schools consolidated to form RVHS. “We broke it (RVHS) in,” said Jim Walker.

He attended college for a while after high school and then entered the Air Force before returning to school and graduating from The Ohio State University.

“I like coming to the banquet to see people I haven’t

“There are a lot of memories in these halls.”

His classmates Franklin Dilly, William Sampsel and Steve Kempf also spent time in the service after high school and agreed that it’s the people that bring them back to the banquet.

“It’s hard to recognize some people though,” Dilly said. “People you were close friends with it’s a little easier to recognize.”

When it came time for them to move to the new high school Sampsel said no one knew what to expect, but now they can always say they were the first class to graduate from RVHS. “I didn’t think about it then, but now it is something no one can ever take away from us,” Kempf said.

The banquet, however, isn’t just a time to remember the past. It also is a time to celebrate the future.

Every year the Warsaw Alumni Association also presents scholarships to RVHS graduates. This year they went to: Bryar A. Cox and Whitney L. Fender – 2016 Warsaw Alumni Scholarships; Grace C. Wherley – Clodaugh Brenneman Cline Scholarship; Jonathan I. Helmick – Davis Family Educational Grant; Cassidy P. Whiteus, Abigail S. Warschauer and Morgan E. Anglin – Class of 1965 Scholarships; Jonathan I. Helmick – Alton and Mozell Kirch Agricultural Scholarship; Kayla Ann V. Metz – Richard & Mary Daugherty Lawrence Memorial Scholarship; Emily C. Barnett – Buxton Memorial Scholarship; and Nichole L. Hepner – Dr. James M. & Norella Giffen Walker Memorial.

| MEMORIES JUNE 3, 1956 World traveler Darrell Linder was coming to Coshocton’s Masonic temple on June 7, where he was guest speaker at the lodges’ father and son banquet.

The 35-year-old was a member of the Trans-World Airlines Ambassador’s Club, through which he had travelled throughout Europe, Asia and Africa.

JUNE 2, 1966 Summer and its mosquitos were nearly here and Coshocton must be ready for them. The Coshocton Lion’s Club, partnered with the Water Department, had prepared a small fleet of “fogger” trucks in order to fight these pests. George Fischer, superintendent of the Water Department and Chairman of the Lion’s Club, had devoted all the man power and equipment the two organizations could manage. According to Fischer, the results were expected to be greater than last year’s. On the evenings of June 6 and 7, “fogger” trucks rolled through town to treat large breeding grounds. Fischer warned that children should not ride their bikes near the trucks as it poses a risk to both them and the drivers.

MAY 29, 1976 The Plainfield Village cemetery was hosting a special memorial for the veterans buried within. There were 96 Civil War veterans buried and 31 veterans from wars from the Spanish-American War to World War II. The program was primarily devoted to the 96 veterans of the Grand Army of the Republic. Speaking at the program was Senator Applegate of Steubenville and local man Jessie Jackson who is the son of one Union Sergeant Francis A. Stone. The committee in charge of the memorial included Alan Dusenberry, Lloyd Fowler, Farrell Sharrock and Gerald Roahrig.

Roahrig was a vet himself and he maintains the white crosses of the WWI veterans. He also built the sandstone memorial flagstaff in the cemetery.

JUNE 1, 1986 Former West Lafayette resident Kurt Howell had been contracted by comedian Joan Rivers to write jokes for her. While he was in West Lafayette over the weekend, he described River as “... bubbly in persona as she is on TV”. He also said that the arrangement had a rocky start after he sent his sample jokes to the wrong address. Howell, son of Mr. and Mrs. Harold Howell of West Lafayette, graduated from Ridgewood High School in 1978 and from OSU, with a degree in communication. Since then he had worked at WCMH-TV out of Columbus.

COSHOCTON – The Coshocton County Commissioners had some guests during their Wednesday, May 25 meeting. People from Hopewell Industries sat in on the meeting to see how it was run. While they were there, the commissioners went over their meeting agenda and talked about the duties of a county commissioner.

Brad Fuller said that Hopewell Industries has a Community Round Table every Wednesday at 9 a.m. with different community people who come in and discuss various topics. They also want to get out more into the community.

“We just want to meet new people in the community, not just government officials,” said Fuller. “It’s fun meeting new people and we want to get out into the community more often.”

Fuller also gave an update on the Bacon Festival. He said that the festival has joined with Our Town Coshocton, a 501c3 foundation, so that all donations to the festival are tax deductible. The

nizations donate money to the program to help pay fees associated with taking the state board exam. The community is also supportive by attending “lab day”when the salon is open to the public, and graduates of the program give back by hosting field trips to their salons; providing tips on customer service and the opportunity to network.

Darla sees Coshocton as a “growing community”- it has been through a lot of change but it will continue to grow.

She would recommend Leadership Coshocton to others for the networking opportunity and to see what the community has to offer. She states: “It has encouraged me to grow; step back and reflect on how to inspire my students.”

COSHOCTON - Darla Wagner was born and raised in Muskingum County where she graduated from Philo High School and Mid-East in Zanesville. She has received her state licensure from Ohio State University. Wagner Prior to coming to Coshocton County, she worked as a cosmetologist and teacher at Mid-East Technical Center; followed by the Knox County Career Center and came to the Coshocton County Career Center 18 years ago as an instructor of cosmetology.

She and her husband Russell have three children and two grandchildren.

Her son Jonathan Gatten works in Newark at Tectum as a CAD manager, while the oldest daughter Alisha just completed her pinning ceremony for nursing. Their youngest daughter Sierra is in dance, track, cheer and 4-H. Darla is involved with the Ohio Education Association, Ohio Cosmetology Career Teachers Association as well as the Duncan Falls Baptist Church, where she volunteers with junior church.

Darla was nominated by an advisory member to participate in Leadership Coshocton, as she “didn’t know as much about Coshocton” as she would like. She has enjoyed getting out in the county; seeing landmarks and meeting people.

Darla has “enjoyed the journey being in Leadership Coshocton.”

From Darla’s perspective, Coshocton is a very giving community. Volunteer orga-

event will feature a parade this year and the king and queen of the festival will be given a scholarship for at least $500. The ever-popular Weiner Mobile will also be back.

People from Hopewell Industries also stayed to witness the 2016 Ohio Public Works Commission (OPWC) county resurfacing bidding process.

Commissioners received three bids for the project that will cover 16 roads and streets in the county. It is funded through the OPWC grant and local money as a 50 percent match. OPWC is committing $600,000 toward the project.

The three bids were: Melway Paving with a bid of $1,145,770; Small’s Asphalt Paving with a bid of $1,140,131.95; and Shelley Company with a bid of $1,199,935.25. The engineer’s estimate is $1,170,000. The commissioners turned over all bids to Frederick Wachtel, county engineer for his review and recommendation.

Congratulations!

Summer arrives in Fresno FRESNO - Well, school is out, the children are “set free”, area pools are open, and summer has officially arrived in Coshocton County! Amen! After a long winter, a soggy spring and a cool month of May, we are ready for a warm and wonderful month of June here at the Fresno Farmers’ Market. Local gardens are starting to produce a wealth of healthy and good-for-you greens, herbs, and veggies. And yes, a favorite among favorites the beloved strawberry will be making its formal introduction. There just isn’t anything as delicious or lovely as the year’s first bowl of fresh sliced strawberries. They are not only sweet and delicious, but they are a powerhouse of vitamins: E, A, C, Potassium, Magnesium, Iron, B-Complex, plus they are loaded with antioxidants. All this and they practically contain zero calories. But, a word to the wise: if you want them, come early to market. There is always a line and they sell out in a hurry!

If you haven’t planted your garden or flower beds, no need to worry. There is still plenty of time and a great selection of lovely hanging baskets, flowers, herbs and bedding plant to pick from still available from our growers.

Our bakers and makers have those fresh from the farm tastes to fuel all your hard work and energy needs like: artisan breads, homemade noodles, angel food cakes (perfect for those red ripe beauties), fry pies, fresh brown eggs, local golden honey, herbal teas, cookies, rhubarb pies and so much more.

So, what are you waiting for? Get it up, get it dressed and get out to the Fresno Farmers’ Market this Saturday morning and as always, we look forward to bringing the “farm to your family’s table”.

The market it located in the heart of downtown Fresno next to the new Fresno Hardware & Surplus. Just look for the signs. Every Saturday from 8 a.m. – 12 p.m., rain or shine, May through October. For more information, call 740-545-0849 anytime with your questions, comments or suggestions.

Here is an excellent recipe to use some of that farm fresh goodness and take a little slice of Fresno home with you.

Easy as Pie “Strawberry Pie” 1 cup sugar 1 1/4 cup water 2 tbsp. cornstarch 1/4 cup strawberry jello powder 4 cups fresh sliced strawberries 1 baked ready to use pie crust Bring sugar, water and cornstarch to boil over medium heat until it starts to thicken. Add jello powder and stir until dissolved. Remove from heat and chill for two hours. Arrange berries in pie crust, pour jello mixture over berries, and chill for two hours. Serve with whipped cream if desired.

RVHS to introduce community service letter

By Andrew Everhart

WARSAW - Community service will soon be added to the list of activities students can receive a varsity letter for at River View High School.

This recent addition was a smart choice according to Principal Chuck Rinkes. He felt that students who wish to partake in community service should be shown appreciation for their selflessness and willingness to benefit the community.

“We have a number of organizations in the building and kids that do a lot of community service hours already so I think that it will provide students that already do community service with recognition and it will potentially encourage other students who don’t already do community service to participate as well,” Rinkes said.

Rinkes also added that the requirements needed to earn a community service letter are pretty straight forward.

“Next year’s seniors will be required to do 25 hours of community service while juniors, sophomores, and freshmen will be required to reach a level of 50 hours. A percentage of the hours will have to benefit the school in some way but not all of them because we want the greater portion to be served within the community in order to benefit Coshocton at large,” he said.

Much of the focus this school year at River View has been on the importance of giving back.

“I’ve said it numerous times throughout the year to our students and it’s that our focus this year has been on gratitude, paying it back, and paying it forward. It just adds to the existing notion that we need to think bigger than ourselves and be more selfless rather than selfish,” Rinkes said.

He believes this will be the first step toward creating a more aware and community-minded teenager.

Cicadas not harmful to plants, humans

By Beth Scott beth@coshoctoncountybeacon.com

COSHOCTON – It has begun. If you have been outside within the last couple of weeks, you have likely seen at least a few cicadas that have emerged from the underground. These red-eyed bugs pop up every 17 years (13 years if you live in the southern states), with one purpose: to find a mate and create the next batch that is scheduled to arrive in the year 2033.

These enormous insects live most of their life underground as a nymph feeding on tree roots. Most trees can withstand these feedings and will not be harmed. After 17 years, it’s as if an internal clock goes off for cicadas and they emerge into the world and begin mating. The male emits a sound that attracts a female, and once the sound begins, it can be very loud. Once a female is impregnated, she cuts a slit in a twig and lays her eggs.

“They are very particular about the size of the twig,” said Tammi Rogers, Program Assistant, Agriculture and

Natural Resources, and County Master Gardener Volunteer Coordinator, OSU Extension Coshocton County.

“The twig has to be ¼ inch to ½ inch in diameter. The eggs hatch within a couple of weeks. They’re about the size of ants when they hatch and they drop and start burrowing in the ground.”

Rogers said that trees four years old or younger are at risk of damage because the branches are just the right size for females to lay eggs. Other than that, plants are not at risk of being harmed.

“They feed very little as adults,” she said. “They feed on the sap from trees. They don’t eat leaves or eat your tomato plants, and they can’t bite you. They’re legs are scratchy, so if they land on you, people think they’re being bitten when it’s actually their legs.”

The lifespan of a cicada once it has emerged from the ground is about two to four weeks, but they will last all summer long because some have not yet emerged from underground. As there is nothing to repel these creatures, we just have to share our summer with them.

“Insecticides are not recommended because with most insecticides, insects need to consume them for it to kill them,” said Rogers. “There is nothing you can do to repel these insects, no matter what the Internet says.”

Cicadas are found around the world and in some countries, they are used as food. They are edible for both humans and animals and can also be used as bait for fish. People who have eaten them say they have a nutty flavor much like peanuts or almonds and they are a good source of protein. If your pet consumes them, they probably will not harm them unless they eat too many in which case they may vomit. A very small percentage of animals may also have an allergic reaction to them as well.

So for this summer, it looks like we will have to get used to seeing them around our homes and yards until autumn. But the good news is, after summer’s end, they won’t be back for another 17 years.

It is an excellent way to better engage the realities of extreme poverty and is very impactful in helping parents educate their kids and begin to develop a heart for the poor. It’s also a great conversation starter - especially for those who have never had the opportunity to see Compassion’s work first-hand.

First Fridays are up and running

By Josie Sellers josie@coshoctoncountybeacon.com

COSHOCTON – Our Town Coshocton has another season of First Fridays up and running.

“This was Cheryl’s (Triplitt-Wantuck) baby,” said Melissa Leist, president of Our Town Coshocton. “She loved doing it and to carry it on for her is really exciting for us.”

Wantuck, who passed away earlier this year, was the founding member of Our Town Coshocton and the driving force behind First Fridays, which are held from 5 to 8 p.m. the first Friday of the month May through September in downtown Coshocton.

The Friday, June 3 First Friday will include a special recognition for Wantuck from her fellow Coshocton High School Class of 1964 members. They will dedicate a bench in her honor at 5 p.m. on the side of the court square that faces Main Street.

This month’s First Friday also will have its very first sponsor who will bring an activity to the court square.

“The Farmers Insurance John Ianniello Agency is bringing a huge inflatable obstacle course that is big enough for adults to do,” Leist said. “It’s double sided so you can challenge a friend.”

Our Town Coshocton is actively seeking sponsors this year.

“The board didn’t know that Cheryl was the sponsor of First Fridays all along,” Leist said. “We do have the kiddie games that Cheryl’s daughters graciously gave to the board to use, but we would love to find a sponsor for the train (from past First Fridays) to bring back because it has been requested.”

Anyone interested in becoming a First Friday sponsor or being a vendor at the events can visit http://ourtowncoshocton.com, e-mail OurTownCoshocton@gmail.

First Friday Themes Friday, June 3: Safety groups, clubs and service organizations will be recognized.

Come meet first responders and thank them for keeping the community safe. You also can get information on different groups and find out how to join them.

Friday, July 1: Dog days of summer. There will be a pet parade and dog competition.

Friday, Aug. 5: First Farm Friday. Come visit with farmers to learn about their equipment, animals and products they produce.

Friday, Sept. 2: Football Friday tailgate.

Everyone is encouraged to wear their favorite team colors. com, contact the board members, stop at the Depot Shops, speak with Michelle Turner Ganz at Dean’s Jewelry, or reach out to the organization on its Facebook page.

Our Town Coshocton, however, isn’t just about organizing First Fridays.

“First Fridays started out as a way to keep people interested in learning about Our Town Coshocton and bringing people downtown to get them in front of businesses and services there,” Leist said. “It’s a tradition now, but we don’t want to be seen as doing just this. We want to be seen as project people and we are starting to take on small projects.”

They are working on a plan to get awnings on Main

Street cleaned and in the future repaired, organizing block by block small cleaning projects and a trash can project.

“We are open to suggestions,” Leist said. “This isn’t a group that is just us. We want this to be a partnership of private and public sectors that involves the whole community.”

One example of how they already are working with others is the performance by Elvis impersonator Caesare Belvano. He will perform his Eternally Elvis show from 5:30 to 6:45 p.m. at the Friday, June 3 First Friday in the artPARK on Main Street. The show is sponsored

by Century 21 Court Square Realty, WTNS, Home Loan Savings Bank, Dean’s Jewelry, Peoples Bank, Dan Duren/Matt Drummond, Dile’s Faithful Cleaning and Coshocton Furniture.

“Elvis pairs so well with us and First Fridays,” Leist said. “We are in total support of this. The new Our Town Coshocton is all about working together and cooperating with other organizations.”

Our Town Coshocton formed as a 501(c)(3) organization in 2013 after founding members came together to address Coshocton’s overall need for revitalization. Our Town Coshocton embraces the Main Street Approach® promoting Coshocton as a hometown community and important county seat. They do this by utilizing the Main Street® principles that have been successful throughout Ohio and the country. Their mission is to stimulate the revitalization of Coshocton’s commercial core, adjacent historic districts and the town in general through awareness of our heritage, vital past and vital future, promoting a spirit of cooperation and pride in our town.

Mars to approach earth this Memorial Day NEWARK - People in central Ohio are going to be able to have a very scientific experience while they celebrate Memorial Day. The cicadas have emerged in the region which only happens every 17 years. But, there’s also something happening in the night sky on Memorial Day that only happens approximately every 17 years as well – the red planet is close to Earth and visible without a telescope. So, picnickers will be able to listen to the cicadas and see Mars at the same time.

“On May 30, Mars will be 46.8 million miles from Earth,” said The Ohio State University at Newark Physics and Astronomy Assistant Professor Michael Stamatikos.

“Due to the oval shape of planetary orbits, and the gravitational effect of other planets, such as Jupiter, closest approach distances vary. Closest approach is defined as the nearest distance between planets as they orbit the sun, which is measured from center to center. The Earth-Mars distance ranges from 35 million miles to 249 million miles.”

Stamatikos is faculty at Ohio State Newark, but has been affiliated with NASA since 2006, when he was selected as a NASA postdoctoral fellow at Goddard Space Flight Center (NASA-GSFC). He’s maintained his affiliation with NASA-GSFC as an off-site astrophysicist, while supporting the Swift and Fermi satellite missions.

“One of the things I love about teaching at Ohio State Newark is finding ways to make science and space exploration accessible to all,” said Stamatikos. “Mars being visible to the naked eye is a way everyone can expe“Mars being rience the solar system around us.” visible to Mars opposition octhe naked curred on May 22, which is when Mars, Earth and eye is a way the Sun aligned, flanking Earth in the middle. everyone can Mars will be bright from experience the May 18 to June 18, after which Earth’s inner orbit solar system overtakes Mars, since one around us.”

Martian Year equals 687 Earth Days. “This results -Michael Stamatikos in retrograde motion, where Mars appears to reverse direction, then go forward again, against the background of apparently ‘fixed’ stars,” said Stamatikos. “This is why the ancients referred to the planets as wandering stars.”

On Aug. 27, 2003, Mars made its closest approach on

record of 34,646,418 miles. That won’t happen again until Aug. 28, 2287.

“You can find Mars by looking about a third of the way up from the horizon and directly overhead, in the southern sky, at midnight,” said Stamatikos. “Saturn will also be visible. Mars may appear a bit reddish, which is why the ancients adopted it as the god of war.”

The Ohio State University at Newark offers an academic environment that’s challenging but supportive with world-renowned professors and access to Ohio State’s more than 200 majors. It’s where learning comes to life.

Research, study abroad and service learning opportunities prepare students for their careers in ways they never expected.

Coalition brings agencies together

By Josie Sellers josie@coshoctoncountybeacon.com

COSHOCTON – There was a full house for the May 25 meeting of the Violence Prevention Coalition.

“We had a great turnout with lots of different agencies here,” said Stephanie Montgomery, who facilitated the meeting.

Montgomery is the legal advocate for First Step Family Violence and said they started the coalition to encourage collaboration between groups in the community.

“There are so many different components to domestic violence,” she said. “We wanted to get the agencies together to help them spread the word about their services.”

The May 25 meeting helped Montgomery become aware of the recovery and transitional housing that Coshocton Behavioral Health Choices (CBHC) is operating.

John Turley from CBHC explained that people recovering from addiction problems often have nowhere to get away from family and friends who might have helped drag them down that road.

People who live in the recovery housing must be residents of Coshocton who are clients of CBHC or another treatment organization or recently released from a treatment facility.

While living in the recovery housing, Turley helps the individuals continue to work on their recovery process, getting a job, volunteering if they aren’t working and learning how to get back out on their own and stay sober. They also have their efficiency apartments inspected, screened and their rent gradually increases as they get their feet back under them.

CBHC’s transitional housing called The Landing is for young adults ages 18-24. Beth Cormack, CBHC execu-

tive director, sees this as a prevention outreach program because it isn’t just for those who are CBHC clients or people fighting addictions. It also is a way to help young people who have aged out of foster care and give young adults a chance who may not have any other place to turn than the streets.

Another positive about the coalition is that it gives people the opportunity to address questions, concerns, or rumors about their organization.

Ken Sheffield, director of the Coshocton Counseling Center was able to confirm for attendees of the meeting that yes, his agency and Thompkins Child and Adolescent Services are combining.

“We’ve always been under one umbrella (with Six County) and offered similar services,” he said. “The plan is to merge the agencies sometime in October.”

Some are worried that this will mean a loss of jobs, but Sheffield doesn’t think that will happen.

“We are both swamped,” he said.

There are several pros to the merger.

“We both are in older buildings so they are looking for a new one here in town to create a community mental health center,” Sheffield said.

People will be able to go one way in the building for child and adolescent services and the other for adult services.

“Hopefully this will allow us to expand our services,” Sheffield said.

The Violence Prevention Coalition has two more meetings scheduled for this year on Aug. 31 and Nov. 30. Montgomery said invitations to them are sent out by e-mail and anyone who would like to be added to the list can call First Step at 740-622-8504 or e-mail firststepcosh@sbcglobal.net.

Coshocton Opportunity School graduates 27 students

By Beth Scott beth@coshoctoncountybeacon.com

COSHOCTON – The Coshocton High School auditorium hosted the 2016 Coshocton Opportunity School graduation on Thursday, May 26 at 6 p.m. Twenty-seven county students accomplished their goal and received their high school diploma.

“These kids have decided they want a diploma,” said Roger Moore, principal of the opportunity school. “We believe that all kids can learn and these kids are proof of that. Once they started believing in themselves, they

RUN One obstacle is unique to the Indian Mud Run. “It’s our own design and I’m happy about that, but it’s too hard,” Cushman said. “We have to make it a little easier.”

Larry Cooper also is bringing his obstacle called destroyer.

“It was voted second best new obstacle last year,” Cushman said.

However, before people can take on any of these challenges, Cushman needs help getting the course ready for them.

“We need help cleaning the trails, weed eating and setting up obstacles,” he said. “We get the canal at 4 p.m.

Thursday (the week of the race) and will be there setting up obstacles through Friday evening.”

Work days will be posted on the Indian Mud Run Facebook page or you can call or text Cushman at 740502-5013 or e-mail him at hubie3@roadrunner.com.

You also can contact Cushman if you want to volunteer on race day.

“The big thing we need this year is obstacle marshals,” he said. “You just sit there in a lawn chair and monitor the obstacle, but if someone doesn’t complete it right, you cut their band off. The big thing in obstacle racing

READING the collective summer reading for the state of Ohio. Next year, instead of different themes for different age groups, there will be one main theme for the entire program.

Registration is required to participate in the program and can be done by visiting either the Coshocton main library or the West Lafayette branch. Kids will receive a “First Reading Record” with 16 baseballs printed on the form, each representing 15 minutes of reading.

Once each baseball is filled in, representing four hours of reading time, kids can return the form to the library and register for a chance to win prizes. Every four hours qualifies for a home run and kids can place a baseball sticker on a display board at the library for each home run they hit during the summer. For the first home run, kids have the opportunity to win prizes including Renaissance coupons, a free trip to McPeek’s Mighty Maze, or a truck Pez provided by Auer Ace Hardware.

Each participant will also receive a food coupon for their first four hours of reading. Those under three years old get a sippy cup.

For each home run after, kids can win other great prizes such as an American Girl Doll, a Kid’s Kindle, and other prizes. Teens have the opportunity to win a one-

knew they could do it. Some of them have been through struggles, but they are sitting here getting their high school diploma.”

Moore introduced teachers of the school and members of the board of directors.

“I appreciate all of their support,” said Moore. “All they care about are kids graduating.”

The opportunity school started in 2006 and had 25 students in its first class with 22 graduating. Over the years, more than 300 students have graduated. The school has also received an “Exceed Standard” rating by the state and met the standard of high performance and is eligi-

ble for federal grants.

Rick Merrill, who has been a member of the board of directors since the beginning, is stepping down this year.

“It’s been a good run with this school,” he said. “It’s been an honor to be a part of it. This school really is an opportunity for these young people to get an education.”

At the end of the ceremony, Moore encouraged the students to put their diplomas to good use and also thanked family and friends.

“We provide the education, but you provide the support,” he said.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 now is to finish with your band on showing you completed everything.”

Top 15 finishers in each age category will get their names on next year’s shirts, medals will be handed out just as in past years and for the first time ever the top three in every five year age group will receive an authentic American Indian Tomahawk.

“I think that is going to drive a lot of people here,” Cushman said. “Time slots are filling up.”

The race is from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. and people can sign up for competitive and non competitive time slots by visiting www.indianmudrun.com. Awards for the competitive waves will be handed out at noon.

“The morning heats are all competitive and people pay more for the chance to win the tomahawks,” Cushman said. “If these people skip an obstacle they lose their band and get a five minute penalty. The afternoon waves are completely for fun.”

The Indian Mud Run also features the blob pillow, a kids’ course that will be hosted by the Boy Scouts and held rain or shine and various vendors. Plus competitors get a free beer at the end of the race.

“Part of the adults and kids course run side by side,” Cushman said. “It will be great for pictures of the kids

and adults doing the same obstacles side by side.”

He also is excited to announce that canal crossings have gone from three to five, the water slide is bigger and better and there will be more opportunities for spectators to view competitors taking on the obstacles.

“This year is so important because we are going to video people at the end and ask them how they like the trail,” Cushman said. “We are going to send that to the major races in hopes of bringing in a bigger one.”

Obstacle course races like the Indian Mud Run are one of the fastest growing participation sports and Cushman said there is a group trying to make it an Olympic sport.

“If we can get a major one to come here they will bring thousands of people with them,” he said. “In the future we could have the Indian Mud Run in June and still bring a major race to town.”

Proceeds from the Indian Mud Run benefit Lake Park and also are divided between the Boy Scouts, fire departments, sheriff’s auxiliary and other groups who donate their time to help with the event.

“I run in a lot of these races,” Cushman said. “We might not have the money to build the obstacles that others have, but you won’t find a better trail than ours.”

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 year teen pass to Kids America, a salon manicure and pedicure, a 24” smart HD TV, and other prizes. Adults can also win prizes which include book bags and Kindle Fires. Each age group has the opportunity to win six tickets for Coshocton Library Night with the Columbus Clippers, which will be Aug. 14. Everyone will be able to walk the track before the game and one winner will throw out the first pitch at the game.

“All library prizes are made possible by community sponsors,” said Jennifer Austin, teen librarian. “We start asking for funding in January and go around to different business in the community who give us funding. Without them, we wouldn’t be able to have this program.”

Approximately 1,200 children and 200 teens are expected to participate in the program this year.

“The reason we are so excited about summer reading is because of the summer slide,” said Deborah Crowdy, children’s coordinator. “By ninth grade, there is a 52 Lexile point difference between those who read in summer and those who don’t. So we feel it’s vital for children to participate in reading. If you have a younger sibling and you read to them, those minutes count for you and for them.”

The libraries will also have activities throughout the summer as part of the reading program including Little Olympians, Champ Camp with fun crafts, the MadCap Puppets, Ben and the Dragon book reading, Plugged and Unplugged, Maker Teens: A Maker Space Club, a metal water bottle design shop, Hi Bounce Ball Lab, and many more. All programs are free, but registration is required. For more information on those programs and more, see The Beacon’s Community Calendar.

“Anything you read counts,” said Austin. “Comics, magazines, I’ve even had students from the Christian school ask if their devotionals count and the answer is, yes. The purpose is just to get them to read.”

Summer is the library’s busiest time of the year, and they start planning the summer reading program in January. People start asking about the program in late winter and always look forward to the free pool party at Lake Park.

“We see people during the summer that we don’t see any other time of the year,” said Crowdy. “It’s an opportunity to talk about the library and it’s just an exciting time to be at the library.”

COSHOCTON - Echoing Hills recently received a $10,400 donation from Coshocton Elks Lodge 376.

Exalted Ruler/PER Mike Wilson presented the check to Buddy Busch, president/CEO of Echoing Hills Village and Lauren Unger, camp administrator for Camp Echoing Hills. Four hundred dollars of the money will be used for camper ship and $10,000 will go to Camp Echoing Hills.

“A camper ship helps scholarship a camper who needs financial help,” said Busch. “The $10,000 goes to general operations costs. That helps pay for our costs not covered by fees campers pay to come. Because of medical costs, additional staff to camper ratios, need for climate controlled facilities and pool, our costs per camper exceed what we charge a camper to come to camp. This check helps fill that “gap” in funding.”

The Ohio Elks state project is cerebral palsy and the Coshocton Elks supports this cause by donating to Echoing Hills, which this year they were able Josie Sellers | Beacon to give $2,000 more.

RV junior high students decorate ceiling tiles for school

By Josie Sellers josie@coshoctoncountybeacon.com

WARSAW – The River View Junior High Art Club left its mark on the school this year.

The seventh and eighth graders in the club spent the last several months painting ceiling tiles that will hang in the hallways around the library.

“It’s nice to know they are going to stay here and people after us will be able to look at them,” said Jessica Brooks, a seventh grade member of the club.

Rodney Stein, who advises the club, said the students’ designs for their tile had to be preapproved and include a positive message.

Eighth grader Kaitlyn Richard painted an American Flag on her tile with the help of Kevin Jenkins.

“I thought a flag was an important thing in school to represent,” Richard said.

“These took a long time. I think we worked on them for two months. Some of us kept changing our designs, but we got our goal accomplished.”

Cale Bible’s tile was dedicated to teacher Brian Darr. The eighth grader’s tile has painted on it, “I’m not perfect, but I’m pretty close.” – Mr. Darr.

“He always said that to the class last year and it was fun to hear him say it,” Bible said.

Kirsten Kiefner, Lexi Jacobs and Lydia Mitchell used their tile to show their love of playing sports.

“Our whole lives revolve around them,” Kiefner said. “This was really fun to do because we got to show our take on River View and we wanted to remember school spirit.”

The art club meets during the day and Stein said the students had to apply to join.

“We started the club because I was seeing students drawing all the time,” he said.

“There was a club for a while that met after school, but it kind of disappeared so we reinvented it this way.”

Bible was happy the club members were able to decorate the tiles.

“I wanted to make my mark on the school,” he said.

Fourth graders participate in Nature Day Field Trip

By Beth Scott beth@coshoctoncountybeacon.com

COSHOCTON – Fourth graders at Coshocton Elementary explored the great outdoors on Monday, May 23 during a Nature Day Field Trip at Clary Gardens. The students divided among five separate stations during the day and learned about the Wonderful World of Worms, Pollinators, Stream Studies, Wildlife, and Water Conservation.

“Any time we can get more kids out here for educational purposes is just wonderful for the garden,” said Jandi Adams, director of Clary Gardens.

The five facilitators of the event were representatives from Coshocton County Soil and Water Conservation District, Master Gardeners, 4-H educators, and educators through Ohio State University Extension and Clary Beth Scott | Beacon Gardens.

Ohio EPA promotes new service, outreach, financing division Are you a small business owner who needs help with environmental regulations? Or a business that is looking to lower costs by reducing the energy you use, waste that you generate or pollutants that you emit from your operations? Are you a municipality or utility looking for attractive financing for your drinking water or wastewater infrastructure or to simply jumpstart recycling & litter prevention efforts in your community? Who do you call?

For decades, Ohio EPA has had an office that focused on helping small businesses navigate state and federal environmental rules and regulations and the paperwork that goes with permitting and compliance. Ohio EPA also had offices offering financial and technical support programs, from financing water and sewer infrastructure to reducing waste and increasing recycling.

In 2015, Ohio EPA combined these offices to create a new division that serves as a “one-stop shop” for businesses and communities needing compliance, technical and financial assistance. The new division retained the name Division of Environmental and Financial Assistance (DEFA) but now provides a wider variety of services and better customer assistance. “I believe this merger has enhanced the way we serve our customers and improved our own internal operations. We are now better positioned to help even more regulated entities with a greater level of service,” said Ohio EPA Director Craig W. Butler.

DEFA consists of three offices:

• The Office of Outreach and Customer Support (OCS) serves as the “front door” to the Division. OCS staff connect Ohio businesses and communities with the division’s services through in-person meetings and presentations. We also communicate services with newsletters, monthly emails, webinars, etc.

• The Office of Compliance Assistance and Pollution Prevention (OCAPP) helps thousands of small businesses annually comply with environmental regulations.

Among the services provided: On-site assistance, help completing forms, training events, and plain-English publications. OCAPP helps entities identify and implement pollution prevention (P2) measures that save money, improve performance and benefit the environment. The office also works to recognize the outstanding efforts of businesses, communities and other entities that are making a commitment to environmental stewardship through Ohio EPA’s Encouraging Environmental Excellence (E3) program.

forestry to reduce and prevent water pollution. Funding is also provided for recycling, litter cleanup and scrap tire management activities. OFA also provides technical assistance to help small community wastewater plants improve operations and comply with permit limits.

By combining its resources under one division, DEFA has positioned itself to improve the agency’s responsiveness, as well as increase the level and range of services that can be provided to Ohio EPA customers.

For more information on the new DEFA, visit: epa.ohio.gov/defa For compliance related questions, please call our compliance assistance hotline at (800) 329-7518. To receive our quarterly electronic newsletter and monthly listserv updates, or for any other inquiries, please e-mail outreach.defa@ohio.gov or call 614-644-2798 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m., ask for the Office of Outreach and Customer Support (OCS).

We’re here to help!

Good Sam Camping Club enjoys fairgrounds

By Andrew Everhart

COSHOCTON - This year, the Good Sam Camping Club decided to set up camp the week of May 16 at the Coshocton County Fairgrounds.

The club, which was created in 1966 and is celebrating its 50th anniversary, is comprised of avid campers spanning from all over the country.

According to event volunteer Pat Musselman, “We have members from five different states including Canada. There are people from Kentucky, Indiana, Pennsylvania, Illinois, and even people all the way from Florida.”

Good Sam had quite the turnout this year with approximately 240 to 245 RV’s participated in the event.

Musselman said that much of the intrigue surrounding the Good Sam Camping Club is because of its willingness to Andrew Everhart | Beacon

serve the community.

“Well first off we’re a non-profit organization and we make a lot of contributions to various scholarship funds, veterans organizations, and so forth. People also like it because it gives them an opportunity to share experiences with one another and enjoy time spent together,” said Musselman.

Musselman also added that his favorite part of working alongside the Good Sam Camping Club is that it gives him a chance to help people and give back.

“Since I’m on staff I’m in a position to help people and, for me, it’s really rewarding to be able to do that. We’re a pretty old organization, in terms of age, and we constantly try to get younger people involved, which is working, so for me, it’s greatly rewarding to be a part of this organization,” said Musselman.

Public has questions about property code investigator Josie Sellers josie@coshoctoncountybeacon.com

COSHOCTON – The new property code investigator position was once again a topic of discussion at the Coshocton City Council meeting.

During the public input time of council’s May 23 meeting, Karen O’Dell expressed concerns about the former country club site on Cambridge Road where condos are currently being built. She feels the owner of the property lets the grass there get way too high and sidewalk in front of the property is in horrible condition.

Both Mayor Steve Mercer and City Council President Cliff Biggers assured her that issues there are being taken care of and that when the property code investigator is hired that they would indeed be the person to address concerns like the ones she shared.

Tim Kohler also had questions about the new position.

He was wondering if having a property code investigator will speed up the process of having complaints and violations dealt with especially when it comes to junk cars.

Service Director Jerry Stenner said they already move as fast as they can on junk car complaints, but sometimes they aren’t easy to deal with.

“Lt. Hettinger has assigned a deputy to handle junk cars and we move as quickly as we can, but sometimes we run into legal issues,” Stenner said. “There will be vehicles without plates and you have to search to find out who owns it and then you have to wait until the wrecker service can get it out.”

As for the country club property, Stenner shared that he made a call to the person in charge the same day O’Dell expressed her concern about the height of the

Biggers encouraged the community to give the property code investigator position an opportunity to work.

“Administration hasn’t even hired anyone yet,” he said. “I think this position will benefit everyone in the city with the way it is written and looks.”

Mayor Mercer said they have received lots of applications for the position.

“We have some real strong candidates that seem like they would be a good fit for the position,” he said.

At the meeting council also gave a first reading to ordinance 21-16 that will establish regulations for towers in the City of Coshocton. The ordinance would give the city control over such concerns as where the tower could be located, its maximum height and the aesthetics of the area where it is placed.

Local youth audition for summer play Mark Fortune mark@coshoctoncountybeacon.com

COSHOCTON - Shelly Lillibridge, who is producing the youth production, “Murder at the Goon Show,” said, “This year we are doing a comedy whodunit. It takes place backstage at a big theater, lots of contestants for a show very much like the olden days of a show called the Gong Show. Talent, not so good but a lot of performers.

So, they’re all backstage and they’re talking and somebody gets murdered. And the person that gets it, everyone on the stage pretty much has a reason why they would like that person dead.”

“So there are dual things going on, not only the murder, but there are also some bad things happening at the theater. There’s a police officer who is disguised as a contestant who is there to investigate that problem. And then, he is there when the murder happens so he goes to that. So there are two things happening at the same time.”

Marissa Crawford, who is directing, said, “The kids come from all over the county, from Coshocton, River View and Ridgewood to audition. It’s great that we have this much variety.”

Both Lillibridge and Crawford said that they enjoy being part of the theater.

“I call it the hidden jewel,” said Lillibridge. “So many people will come and say, ‘I’ve never been to the theater.’ It’s hard for me to wrap my mind around that.

Let’s put the kids show into perspective, when they start young, it’s really awesome to see some of them come on through. I was just in a production at Christmas with Heath Chaney who started in kids’ productions and is now an adult and is directing plays at other places. And Marissa Crawford, who started with kids productions, now a young working woman in Columbus but still finds a way to come back and support us and do her thing.”

“Some of these kids will be in high school plays or in college. And all of this is a sounding board for them in their college days. This is a foundation for that and for many friendships.”

The performances will be Thursday, Friday and Saturday, July 14-16 and July 21-23 at 8 p.m. at the Triple Locks Theater in Roscoe Village and two Sunday matinees, July 17 and 24 at 2 p.m. You can find out more at www. footlightplayers.com.

The show follows Wolfe and Fritz, two of the most skilled pickers in the business, as they hunt for America’s most valuable antiques - from motorcycles, classic cars and bicycles, to one-of-a-kind vintage memorabilia.

As they hit the back roads from coast to coast, they continue their mission to recycle America by rescuing forgotten relics and giving them a new lease on life, while learning a thing or two about

American history along the way.

“American Pickers” is looking for leads and is on the hunt for characters with interesting and unique items. Some of what they look for are: Vintage bicycles, toys, unusual radios, movie memorabilia, advertising, military items, folk art, early firefighting equipment, vintage musical equipment, automotive items, and clothing. They are always excited to find things they’ve never seen before and learn the story behind it.

If you or someone you know has a large, private collection send your name, phone number, location and description of the collection with photos to: americanpickers@cineflix.com or call 855-old-rust.

Gibbs’ Zika vector control act passes House until there’s an epidemic. This is a responsible, common sense bill that will help ensure public health officials aren’t fighting Zika, a resurgent West Nile virus, or other mosquito-borne threats with their hands tied behind their backs.”

Joe Conlon of the American Mosquito Control Association (AMCA) also released the following statement in reaction to passage of the Zika Vector Control Act: “The AMCA thanks Congressman Gibbs, the House Agriculture Committee and the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committees for their tireless work in seeking to address this critical issue for public health mosquito control activities. AMCA strongly supported HR 897 as originally introduced in its goal to permanently end the regulatory confusion that forced mosquito control agencies to divert taxpayer dollars away from supporting public health. The NPDES permit does nothing to enhance environmental protections, adds ongoing bureaucratic costs and increases threat of litigation to the public agencies charged with suppressing mosquito populations and preventing their mosquito-borne diseases. We thank those members who have supported the original goals of HR 897 and urge enactment of legislation to permanently clarify this issue.”

WASHINGTON, DC – States, local governments, and mosquito control districts are a step closer to preventing a Zika outbreak in the United States after the House passed legislation suspending a duplicative and unnecessary permitting process for pesticides.

H.R. 897, the Zika Vector Control Act, clarifies that pesticides regulated and approved under the Federal Insecticide Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) do not need permitting approval under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES), which only adds bureaucracy and compliance costs for organizations that spray pesticides for public health.

After passage of the Zika Vector Control Act, Congressman Bob Gibbs released the following statement: “Because of a court decision that ignores not just decades of precedent, but the intent of Congress in regulating pesticides, entities that spray for mosquitos are spending time and money on administration and compliance rather than protecting public health.

EPA has appropriate authority under FIFRA to protect human health and the environment. The requirements imposed by the court do nothing to enhance the safety of pesticide use but only increase costs. This summer, it is becoming more and more evident the nation will be contending with the outbreak of the Zika virus. We need to be proactive and give those responsible for public health the tools to prevent an outbreak, not wait

Gibbs applauds committee passage of water resources bill WASHINGTON D.C. - Building on the reforms of 2014’s Water Resources Reform and Development Act, the House Transportation & Infrastructure Committee passed H.R. 5303, the Water Resources Development Act (WRDA) of 2016 today.

Putting WRDA on a two-year cycle to invest in American water infrastructure has been a priority for Water Resources and Environment Subcommittee Chairman Bob Gibbs. WRDA 2016 continues those efforts with fiscally responsible provisions that de-authorizes out of date projects, offsetting the cost of newly authorized projects.
