Well, the Olympics are fading into the history books, with the U.S. basketball team, called the “Redeem Team” having captured the gold medal in a classic confrontation with MARK FORTUNE Spain. As most of you know by now, the Chinese captured more gold’s than any other country, but the U.S. had the most overall medal count. On to the 2010 Winter Games! Could there be any more dominant athlete than our swimmer, Michael Phelps? It is rumored that he has at least 8 or more companies waiting to sign him up to sponsor their products.

Ah, that Wheaties box! I still have one somewhere with Michael Jordan on it.

I imagine the cereal inside the box is probably stale by now.

On the local front, you need to read the update from the Coshocton County Board of Commissioners. This column speaks very frankly about the upcoming election in November and the reasons for a new justice facility. The ramifications of not doing this would not be pleasant for our community so we urge you to get involved and find out for yourself the details. There are several other issues that

will be on the ballot this November that are critical to moving Coshocton County forward. Again, there is no substitute for an involved and informed voter, so ask questions, read, and stay informed.

The issues on this fall’s ballot will affect EVERYONE in our county, regardless of whether you are retired or are gainfully employed.

Did you take the opportunity to come downtown for the Car Show, Sidewalk Sales and the Canal Festival? The parade was a great one, as was the car show earlier in the day. The folks from Towne Centre deserve our appreciation for hosting and sponsoring this event, along with the trophy sponsors. It was a good thing to see the streets of our beautiful downtown filled with people, restored automobiles and vendors. Casey Claxon and Kirby Hasseman did a super job emceeing this year’s parade, adding a bit of humor and familiarity to the parade participants.

Our community has seen several positive happenings over the past two weeks; one very good example is that the Coshocton County Head Start recently earned a two star rating from the state of Ohio, with the strong possibility of having the three star distinction soon. As State Senator Joy Padgett stated at the press conference, ‘This Head Start is always striving to improve themselves. As they

improve, they enhance the learning environment for the kids. It pays forward with kids that are prepared for the next level of learning. Other than a parent, the teacher is the next most important influence in a child’s learning.” Head Start Executive Director Steve Troendly, Education Manager Carla Aronhalt, Board President Ken Smailes, members of the staff and the board deserve to be congratulated for this achievement.

On a somber note, our community lost a good friend this past week with the passing of Dr. D. Michael McPeak.

Mike fought an extremely courageous and difficult battle with cancer and leaves behind many friends and family including his parents, his loving wife, Susan, and their children Kristen and David. Mike was an avid golfer and a great supporter of the River View golf team. Over the weekend, I imagined a pain free Mike teeing off on the most beautiful golf course ever designed, using golf balls that travel straight and true and never land in a sand trap. Mike truly hit a hole-in-one with his life. He will be sadly missed.

BPW Cake Auction lets you have your cake and eat it too!

Time still remains to enter auction - 20 cakes entered so far!

The 2008 Third Annual Cake Auction, sponsored by the Coshocton Business and Professional Women (BPW) will be held on Friday evening, September 5th at 7:30 p.m. at the Coshocton Towne Centre Civic Hall on Main Street.

The auction is open to anyone that wishes to enter a cake and also to bid on the cakes. And, of course, with this event, you CAN have your cake and it too!

The goal of the local BPW is to help promote all working women in the area. The BPW supports Dollars for Scholars, Buckeye Girls State, 4-H Leadership Camp, First Step – Family Violence Intervention Services Shelter and Operation Sweatsuit, plus providing scholarships to those individuals attending a higher education institute through the Joan McNeely Working Women’s Scholarship Fund and Florence Allen Scholarship Fund. The BPW wants to provide more funds for these projects and also facilitate the growth of the organization. The BPW was able to increase their scholarships from two for $500 each to two for $750 each due to growth in the organization’s fund-raising events. The local BPW also gave a total of $2750 to the community over last year. The BPW is appreciative to the community for allowing them to give back to the greater Coshocton community.

CCMH Grillin’ duo and Golf Mix Well at Pro-Am Tournament. CCMH employees Travis Webb (left) and Bob Miller show that their skills are in a different area than golf, but following the annual Pro-Am endowment fund tournament a lot of hungry golfers were grateful for their talents on the grill.

The Coshocton County Memorial Hospital was happy with their recent golf outing fundraiser. Stephen Miller, Safety/Corporate Compliance Officer for CCMH, says the 2008 Coshocton Hospital Second Annual Pro-Am Golf Tournament was held to raise funds for the hospital’s endowment fund. “We felt the golf tournament was successful,” said Miller. “We saw an increase in team participation and tee box sponsors over last year. We plan to have this as an annual event.” Miller says they had 120 people making up the 30 teams that participated.

The event was held at River Greens Golf Course. Rick Davis, Head of CCMH Development Council, organized the outing with Miller assisting. “Chris Norris and Midge Reidenbach did a lot of preparation on the computer prior to the event,” said Miller. Other committee members who also worked on the event included Art Tokar, Roger Williams, Dave Brown, Greg Nowak, Steve Feller, Travis Webb, Dave Powers, Kay Gergley, Barb Emmons, Mac Corwin and Melissa Cabbel.

Sponsors for the golf outing included Jacobs Vanaman Agency, Opoc. US, Quadramed, Aramark, Medben, Rankin & Rankin, St. Jude Medical, Becky Dorner & Associates, Chase, Pharmacy Systems Inc. and Premier Health Care Services.

Miller says the endowment fund is used for future projects at the hospital. “We want the endowment fund to grow so that when we have another large hospital building campaign here we’ll have that money available,” explained Miller. Contributions can be made to the CCMH Endowment Fund by calling the hospital at (740) 622-6411.

Jr. Women’s Bargain Fair The Tradition Continues By Jan Myers For half a century, the Jr. Women’s Club in Coshocton has held an annual bargain fair as their fundraiser. At the close of last year’s event, there was talk that it would be the final one, but club members voted earlier this year to hold the event again.

“They weren’t sure about having it again this year since it is so much work,” said Shantelle Coffman, Chairperson of the Bargain Fair. “But when we were trying to decide what fundraiser to replace it with, it seemed a shame to take away something that’s been around for so long.”

Coffman says they have changed it just a bit to fit the needs and schedules of today’s society. “We’re trying to update and revamp things with the Bargain Fair by adding some new departments and changing the hours,” added Coffman.

The Jr. Women’s Club Bargain Fair will be held at the Commercial Building at the Coshocton County Fairgrounds on Friday, September 12 from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. and on Saturday, September 13 from 8:00 a.m. till 1:00 p.m. They have eliminated the men and women’s clothing departments, but have added a new and nearly new department, sporting goods and a tools/garage department. Other popular departments from the past will still be included such as children’s clothing, jewelry/ purses, furniture, boutique/antiques, linens, toys, books, games and electronics.

“We hope the new departments will help people out with the items they need,” stated Coffman. “Price ranges on the items are always very reasonable. People can get some very good deals there.” Money raised from the event allows the Jr. Women’s Club to support various organizations and causes in Coshocton. Most all of the club’s 40 active members assist with the Bargain Fair. “I’m glad we’re still having it,” continued Coffman. “It raises a lot of money for us to give back to the community.”

Coffman says that this has been the only fundraiser the club has usually had, but that plans are in the works for a St. Patty’s Day Dance in March.

COSHOCTON, OH—Stunt pilot Jim ‘Fang’ Maroney says he learns new stunts each spring to include in his air show acts. He flies high, wears a parachute and intentionally makes things go wrong so he can recognize all the different scenarios that can happen in the air. “That’s how I figure out some of my new maneuvers for my act,” he explained. “I’ll lay awake at night wondering what would happen if I did this? The next day I’ll go out and try it.” Visitors at the 2008 Jones Metal Products, Co. Wings Over Coshocton Air Show on September 20 will get to see some of the new stunts Maroney has worked out this year.

This will be the third time Maroney has been invited to perform for the Coshocton Air Show and he says he enjoys the community.”The people in Coshocton really make me feel at home,” he said. “The community is very much like where I grew up--the people, the work ethic, it’s a neat town.”

Maroney says flying has been his life for a very long time. His father started teaching him to fly in a Piper Cub when he was just four-years-old. He has been a stunt pilot doing air shows for 32 years, is retired from the military and is also

As queen, I will be traveling all over Ohio representing Coshocton County and the Canal Festival. In addition, I will be promoting many of the events held in and around Coshocton County. I am in the process of setting up a Myspace site to keep everyone informed of upcoming local events. This site will also be used to document the many festivals, parades, and activities that my court and I will participate in.

I would like to give special thanks to the Towne Centre Association for sponsoring the Canal Festival Queen and Princess competition and to everyone in the community who volunteered their time, effort, and resources to make this year’s festival so much fun! It was great to see so many people turn out for the parade and pack the court square to watch the Elvis concert. I don’t think I could ever forget dancing with Elvis on stage. I look forward to meeting many of you at upcoming events, such as the Coshocton County Fair and the Apple Butter Stirrin’.

It’s my hope that teens will become more involved in our community events and I welcome your ideas and suggestions. I can be contacted through Myspace at www. myspace.com/canalfestivalqueen or email me at emyels@yahoo.com. I’m excited about the upcoming year and look forward to hearing from you!

Outgoing Canal Festival Princess Thanks Community Dear Residents of Coshocton County,

This year will always hold a special place in my heart, and I would like to thank everyone who made this year possible. I would also like to wish the contestants the best of luck.

Hello, my name is Cristy Gilmore and I am the 2007-2008 Coshocton Canal Festival Princess. This past year I have had a wonderful time traveling around the many County’s of Ohio. I have attended around 30 different festivals and events in the many parts of the State. While I’m sad that it is coming to an end, I am grateful for the opportunity to promote our small but wonderful community.

This past year has been wonderful experience. Some days were long and some weekends were with little rest, I would not have passed up the experience for anything. One weekend we were in Logan, Ohio until late on Saturday, and the next day we had to be in Vermillion, Ohio for and 8:00 a.m. breakfast. There were a few other weekends like this,

The Coshocton County Beacon • August 27, 2008

7 year-old Kellyn Donaker of Walhonding shows us her empty bean bowl. The Donaker family has attended for over 70 years, and three generations of her family were at the Bean Dinner on Sunday.

The Grand Army of the Republic (GAR) was founded in 1866 in Illinois, mainly focusing on the welfare of Union veteran soldiers and their families. Comprised of Civil War veterans, it became a powerful political organization with posts in every state of the US and even posts overseas. In fact, during the years 1868 through 1908, there were no Republican nominations to the presidency without the group’s endorsement.

In New Castle, Charles Nichols Post #394 of the GAR was formed in 1867. Soldiers traveled from miles around to reunite every year at the Nichols farm, bringing their wives and children to the encampment. Beans cooked over the fire was the camp fare, and during their meetings, war veterans and members of the Ohio Volunteer Infantry and the Ohio National Guard discussed ways to provide national relief for widows and orphans of the Civil War. When Charles Nichols passed away, he bequeathed his land to the community of New Castle – with the stipulation that the bean dinner would continue as an annual community event. And it has, without fail. Then, in 1907, Samuel McElwee willed the land that is now McElwee Park to the community, and the dinner has been held there ever since.

Thus steeped in local tradition and a rich heritage, the community of New Castle celebrated its 200th anniversary at McElwee Park in conjunction with its 141st consecutive GAR Bean Dinner. Huge kettles of beans

simmering over open fires and fresh, homemade cornbread are the staples of the annual gathering.

Scheduled for the third Sunday of every August, this year’s bean dinner was held August 17th, 2008 with somewhere in the neighborhood of 350-400 in attendance. Volunteers cooked 65 pounds of beans in preparation for the day.

Of course they like to run out rather than have leftovers, but if they overestimate the crowd, shut-ins are delivered soupbeans with a smile and a visit. For those who enjoy the GAR’s tradition but aren’t soupbean fans, a full menu is always available- complete with a homemade ice cream stand and Sno-Cones.

Several residents of the New Castle area have participated in the bean dinner for over 50 years, including committee member Karen (Allen) Locke. Along with her entire family, Karen is deeply involved in planning and coordinating the event. “We have six new families helping with the Bean Dinner this year, which is great,” says Locke. “The current committee is getting older, and we need families who are willing to step in and continue the tradition.” Karen is a veritable fount of information on New Castle’s heritage. At the back of the park shelter, she had set up a large display of pictures, articles, letters, and old documents outlining the history of the area and the bean dinner itself.

A few people, like native John Richards, have come to the bean dinner for some 70 years.

Richards’ smiling face was the first I saw upon entering the park grounds. John helps out every year, “taking donations for upkeep of the park”, he says. “I meet up with a lot of old friends here, some I don’t see for a long time, but we come to the dinner.”

Mary Sparks was enjoying her bowl of beans when I asked if this was her first time attending.

“Actually, it’s my 2nd,” said Sparks. “It was talked about at church a lot, so I decided to come last year.” Sparks relocated to the area from Columbus in 2005. “We love the community!”

For their display of loyalty to the GAR Bean Dinner, Alan and Janette Donaker deserve top honors. They were celebrating their 12th wedding anniversary on the day of the event, and Alan’s parents, Elden and Anna Donaker were celebrating 59 years together. Janette and Alan are the 3rd generation of Donakers to wed on August 17th, which always falls close to or on the day of the bean dinner. Elden, who has attended for over 70 years, made it a family tradition with his children, so his son Alan grew up attending the event. “Alan and I

actually delayed our honeymoon by one day so we could come to the dinner that year!” Janette laughed.

It’s not just locals who enjoy the bean dinner.

Sally (Sarah) Horn travels annually from Westerville, Ohio to help serve. Her father, Bill Horn, always attended with his parents as a child, and eventually brought his own family.

In fact, “He was born on Bean Dinner Sunday, so he always made it a point to come,” Sally shared with me. Aside from the time her father served in Vietnam, Sally herself has attended for almost 50 years, since she was a little girl. Bill relocated to Hawaii in 1959, yet most years still manages to make it back for the event - making him the furthest-traveling person at the dinner, in addition to one of the longest attending.

When asked why she still makes the annual trek to help serve, Sally replied, “The bean dinner was important to my grandmother, Sarah Horn.

She was part of the crew that got running water up to the shelter. Before then, water had to be carried up from the spring. I just love coming here!” Sally’s namesake, Sarah, is imprinted into the cement floor of the park shelter.

Rest assured that beans and visiting with friends weren’t the only things to enjoy – entertainment was plentiful. Beginning at 10 am, there was a church service, flag-raising, games for the kids, General Banning Camp Sons of the Union Veterans portrayed a Civil War re-enactment of the original encampment, and there was live music for everyone. Chestnut Ridge wowed the crowd, and as always, the Walhonding Rube Band was in attendance.

A fairly new tradition to the event is the crowning of the Bean King or Queen. Since 1983, the Rube Band has selected one of its members to reign over the Bean Dinner. Tracy Mercer Elliott was the first to receive the honor, and this year Bill Edwards, 72, of Coshocton

This year’s ditty was aptly sung to the tune “On a Sunday Afternoon” …

its income tax revenue from the sheriff’s department.

It is no secret that the cost is staggering. While $16 million dollars for the basic structure is a lot of money, just two years ago the cost was $12 million.

Costs continue to go up, but we feel that because of the economy, it is a good time to bid the project as bids are very competitive right now. To answer another question we hear, YES, local contractors will have an opportunity to bid on this project.

We have tried every avenue we have to find funding and are filing an appropriation request with U.S. Senators Sherrod Brown and George Voinovich as well as Congressman Zack Space. The state had 20 million set aside for adult detention facilities, but this was taken away to help balance the budget and is no longer available – we are on our own.

In the spring election a 2 mil levy was approved for the EMS. It was 3 mils previously; this took away 1 mil of voted millage. The Emergency Room levy will not be renewed this year and as it was a 1 mil levy, this adds up to 2 mills of voted millage that is coming off of the tax collection at the end of this year.

From these 2 mills of previously voted levy money, we are putting on 1.64 to pay for the bonds. This will run for 29 years.

We had to take it out that long to bring the millage under the 2 mils. We are not asking for more taxes, just a new usage of levy millage that was previously voted on and collected. We know we are going to have to pay for the safety facility one way or another, and this is the best solution we could come up with that would not ADD more millage on the backs of Coshocton County residents.

The facility is designed to house 120 inmates. This should meet our needs for 30 to 40 years. It is designed to easily be added to in the future if the need arises.

Under our plans, we will need to add 4 to 6 employees. In talking to other counties, if the state mandates our construction, we will need to hire 28 to 30 new

Back Pain?

employees. That would bankrupt the county.

We have taken in consideration with our planning the operation and maintenance of the facility. We don’t know what the future holds, but we will not be coming back next year asking for more money to operate it. We can also generate some revenue by housing out of county inmates. The current facility is legal for 18 inmates, many days it houses over 70.

In the past few weeks there have been two suicide attempts and one cardiac arrest in which the inmate expired at the county hospital. Under these conditions how long do you really think we can expect the state to look the other way? One lawsuit and we are building the facility under court order the way the state says and they do not care where we get the money. All non-essential services will be eliminated. This includes our share of soil and water, extension, fair board, Port Authority, etc. All essential services will be drastically cut. It will cost us far more than this bond issue will and the effects will last every bit as long as the duration of the levy.

We take our responsibilities very seriously. Please get informed and vote based on facts. We know there will be many issues to vote on this fall. We cannot stress enough what this means to all of us, and that being said, as it is in good government, you the people have the final say.

Uncorked Poker Run benefits Animal Shelter Pictured are Marilyn Bucklew (left), chairperson of “HATA”, or the Humane Animal Treatment Association, and Sarahann Jenkins, who is employed in the office at the animal shelter and a couple of cuddly puppies enjoying some warm sunshine and apparently, each others’ company during the event in Roscoe Village.

A Poker Run coordinated by Joe and Lori McGraw-Hardesty, the owners of “Uncorked” in Roscoe Village was held Saturday, August 23rd, to benefit the local animal shelter. Riders left prior to 1:00 pm and returned by 6:00 pm before enjoying the band ‘Sneeky Peek”. Chris Sturtz, County Humane Officer, said, “I think it’s wonderful that Lorrie and Joe decided to do this for us and the animals. The shelter is full

right now so we appreciate the positive attention. The economic challenges we have right now in our community are causing more people to relinquish their pets to the shelter. Some of this is caused by downsizing or foreclosures and people being forced from homes to apartments or rental units that do not allow pets due to job loss, rising costs, and other situations.” Lorrie expressed that, ‘Being that we are new and have only been open for a couple of months, we are happy with the turnout!”

The animal shelter is open Monday through Friday from 9 am to 4 pm and Saturday from 10 am to 1 pm or by appointment. You can call the animal shelter at 740-622-9741. The facility is located at 21755 Township Road 164 (Morgan Run Road) just outside Coshocton.

and conditions. Guilliams thoroughly explained the wine making process and the due diligence that must be paid by anyone wishing to enter into this now lucrative business. Wine consumption in the United States is expected to soon surpass beer and is growing at an annual rate of 4 to 5%.

Want to get started? Plant now and your first real harvest will be in about 7 years.

Guilliams went on to explain that they have learned through experience and essentially that “you can’t fight nature, grow what you can”, meaning that certain varieties of grapes grow best in Ohio and in this part of our state.

Following a delicious meal at Raven’s Glenn Winery and Restaurant we made our final stop on the tour at the George Darr farms near Newcomerstown. Darr Farms is a third generation family farm with land that sits astride three counties, Coshocton, Guernsey and Tuscarawas. Darr Farms is truly a diversified agribusiness, with many arms extending out into the state and the country. They package watermelons, tomatoes, raise and ship cornstalks, pumpkins, and bundled “decorative” corn, like what you might buy for Halloween or Thanksgiving. This is a family operation from the ground up yet Darr Farms boasts 40 to 50 employees in the peak season. Following a hayride where George explained how they have installed grassland strips between the river and cropland to protect the Tuscarawas River from fertilizer runoff, we were treated to

The County Official’s Tour, coordinated and organized by the Coshocton Soil and Water Conservation District, and held on Friday, August 22, highlighted several farms and agribusinesses in the northeastern part of Coshocton County. Nearly fifty county officials, media, and representatives of The Chamber and people linked to the Soil and Water Conservation District at the state level joined the tour. The tour was coordinated by Teresa Bradford and staff from the Coshocton office of the Soil and Water Conservation District along with Tim Halt of the USDA. A monetary donation from National City Bank helped fund the tour.

The first stop was the Curtis Garber farm, to learn how today’s farmer is protecting the environment with help from the SWCD by ensuring that chemicals and fertilizers are properly stored in tanks with additional precautions for possible leakage. The next visit on the tour was the Adrian Garber farm, to learn how farmers in the rolling hills and valleys of our county have learned to reap the most from their crops and protect valuable topsoil thru grass waterways, critical area seeding and contour strip farming. The Garber’s take their topsoil seriously and have worked diligently with assistance from the SWCD to protect this commodity.

Our next stop on the tour was at the Scott Thomas Farm, to learn how a roofed manure storage facility combined with wetland cells protects the nearby streams from runoff. With the price of fertilizer at an all time high, manure is “one of the most valuable resources on the farm”, said Tim Halt of the USDA office. The storage facility at the Thomas farm can hold roughly the equivalent of $6,000 worth of fertilizer value per storage. The unit needs emptied about three times per year. What makes manure so valuable is the nitrogen that it contains. The Thomas’ milk 110 dairy cows.

The next visit on the tour took us to Ravens Glenn Winery and included a visit to the grape arbors used by the Guilliams in their wine making. Bob Guilliams neatly explained that a ton of grapes will result in 150 to 160 gallons of finished wine, depending on the variety of grape, sugar content and other conditions. One acre of vines will result in 3 to 6 tons of grapes, again, dependent on the variety

an extremely welcome treat of homemade ice cream and/or fresh fruit by the Darrs’.

We then made the trip back to Coshocton, confident in the fact that today’s farmer is certainly a diverse, well educated and environmentally conscious individual that appreciates the land and resources that many of us take for granted. Be assured that the farmers in Coshocton County possess much knowledge and realize their critical role in today’s world.
