“Dazed” and Delighted!

Surprise! The “late” Mrs. Ellen Conkle surprises Toni Lee Mercer during the Warsaw Lions Club Minstrel Show. It seemed that this particular dear departed person had met their demise with a bad pork-chop. Okay, now I am dazed and confused – pork-chops, corn-cobs, choo-choos, Interlocutor – wow. (Beacon photos by Mark Fortune)

That’s exactly how the capacity crowd responded to the 51st annual Warsaw Lions Club Minstrel Show, held at River View High School this past Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

I NSIDE !

Okay guys, this is NOT the cover of “Rolling Stone”, but it is the best The Beacon can do for you!

Pictured are Jesse and Adam Fischer along with Bob Knicely doing an “unrehearsed” version of “The cover of Rolling Stone”, a parody of the rock ‘n roll life made popular by Dr. Hook & The Medicine Show in 1972. Just in case you are wondering, those guys DID make the cover of “Rolling Stone” five months after the song came out.

MARK FORTUNE Our community has been blessed during the past few weeks with an abundance of events that have inspired, encouraged, generated laughter and brought us closer together. I remarked to a couple of business associates during the past week that our community seems to be working more closely together than ever before. This is obviously a positive thing in light of the economic challenges we face. By working with each other, supporting each other and contributing to the needs of others, we can bring our area back. While it may not be with large industry – it will more likely be through

smaller, locally owned businesses – Coshocton County can once again move forward, taking our rightful place in the “new economic engine” that will drive our country towards growth. The upcoming deer hunting season will bring a flood of pick-up trucks and a sea of orange to our area – and also a lot of green. As in dollars. Did you know that the Woodbury Wildlife Area in our county is the largest in the state? An article in this week’s Beacon written by Ginger Reiss discusses the economic impact of hunting to our county. Let’s welcome these hunters with open arms so they will return and tell their friends about Coshocton County.

I repeatedly comment that these are the folks that could someday bring jobs to our area – someone that has been treated kindly by a restaurant staffer or local businessperson – they will remember a kind gesture that may someday result in a new business being located here.

both generated a lot of laughs for their respective audiences and the monies raised at both will go towards worthy causes and efforts. We do have some work to do – the Salvation Army, New Life Ministries, United Way, Nellie Food Bank and many other worthy organizations need our help during the upcoming holiday season.

But they will need our help beyond the Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s observances, to ensure they can continue providing services throughout the cold winter months of January, February and on into March. So w encourage you to give what you can to the charity or organization of your choice – you really can’t go wrong here.

Mainly, take time to be thankful during this Thanksgiving Week – there are so many in this world that do not have a fraction of what we have available in America. Despite our challenges, the doom and gloom of the mass media (are you tired of the Wall Street pundits talking about “market dives”, “steep declines” and using just about

every other negative word they can muster up?) The market has ALREADY tanked and moving up or down a couple of hundred points each day right now is NOT a steep decline or a huge gain. That already happened. Let’s get it right people. And we all know that the market will come back.

So, despite all that we face, we still live in the greatest country in the world, a country that is FREE, and a country where you can just about become anything you set your mind to. . . yet, sometimes you have to lose what you have in order to muster the courage and faith to grab a hold of something new. But that is exactly WHY this is the greatest country in the world. Because you can do just that.

Bible Verse: “Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, his love endures forever.”

Pslam 107:1 (NIV)

noted five major design trends she expects will be applicable in the smaller environment which exists in Coshocton County.

These trends are; (1) Landscape as a productive rather than just an ornamental design – we should demand performance and usefulness from our landscapes.

(2) Landscape as a part of place, rather than a place apart. (3) The design process can serve as an integrating, community building force. (4) Inspiring community imagination to achieve something fundamental and (5) Understanding that beauty moves us!

Anne Cornell recently attended the ground breaking symposium Re-imagining Cities: Urban Design After The Age Of Oil. Cornell was awarded a Fast Track Funding for Artists grant through the Ohio Arts Council’s Appalachian Arts Program to attend the symposium. The award was based on her 2007 work through the Pomerene Center for the Arts with coartist Steven Matthew Brown and a cross section of the community. The [COSHOCTON] project mobilized individuals, organizations and businesses to share ideas, energies, intentions and dreams in the open Park Hotel lot.

The Re-imagining Cities symposium, held Nov. 6-8 at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, brought together architects, city planners, artists and scientists to address conceptual, design, developmental, and management challenges facing urban environments in the 21st century.

As an artist increasingly committed to creating art with the community on projects integrated in the community, Cornell was eager to learn how these 21st century challenges are being viewed and met in large environments.

Upon returning from the seminar in Philadelphia, Cornell has

2009 Coshocton County Relay For Life Kickoff Meeting Held

These four children are; according to 2009 Team Recruitment Chair and past Relay for Life Chair and Co-Chair, Laurie Stephan “my main reason for being involved in Relay!” (Beacon photo by Mark Fortune)

Members of the committee, co-chairs Bob Nicholson and Kim Gress, and American Cancer Society staff recently held the kickoff for the 2009 Coshocton County Relay for Life event at the Towne Centre Civic Hall. The 2009 Relay will mark the 25th year of the event – 2008 Chair and this year’s co-chair Bob Nicholson exclaimed that, “It’s been a privilege to serve

this community . . . in this role”. Nicholson went on to explain that one of the keys for Relay is that “I want to be pro-active in helping fund research to cure this disease”. Guest speaker Sarah Ann Jenkins – survivor chair for the 2009 Relay for Life – stated that she is a three time cancer survivor and that she is “very grateful to be here”. She said that her husband is her “support

and my lifeline”. Bob Nicholson said that “the survivors are the reason for the energy at Relay. There are now over 10 million cancer survivors each year – survivors need to know that we’re fighting for you!”

Kim Gress, co-chair with Nicholson of this year’s upcoming Relay had the honor of introducing a woman that she called “Superwoman” – that would be previous year’s Relay chair, Laurie Stephan. Stephan is this year’s team recruitment chair and spoke about how much cancer has affected her family and why the Relay for Life is important to her. If you know Laurie Stephan, you also know that there is huge amount of energy packed into this small lady – and she eats, sleeps and breathes the Relay for Life.

Christmas Candlelightings in Historic Roscoe Village Visitors to Historic Roscoe Village will experience an old-fashioned Christmas in this restored canal town during our annual Christmas Candlelighting Ceremonies on December 6, 13 and 20, 2008. A favorite among guests and locals alike, the candlelightings begin at 6pm each Saturday evening.

During the ceremony, traditional carols are sung by guest choirs, and the reading of a cherished Christ-

mas story compliments the dramatic lighting of the 35-foot Village Christmas Tree. Share in the tradition of lighting your own candle as the Honorary Candlelighter passes the flame to the crowd during the singing of “Silent Night.”

Holiday activities taking place on the Saturdays of Christmas Candlelightings include art with Santa Claus from 12N to 2pm on all three candle-

lightings, horse-drawn surrey rides and a live reindeer exhibit from 3pm-6pm at the Visitor Center on December 13th. Enjoy warm roasted chestnuts, hot-mulled cider and cookies as you delight in the live Christmas music throughout the Village.

Brems says the marketplace is perfect for children and adults. “We have many marketplace shops, several where kids can do some kind of hands-on activity,” continued Brems. “We have a dye shop, a perfumery, a food market, a sandal shop, a toy shop, mosaics and a stand where kids can make a small flute. Children will also get wooden figures to take home and set up as their own manger scene.”

Judy Maxwell is handling staffing and costuming for the marketplace characters.

Don Hawthorne oversees the set building, and Tim Marshal leads publicity.

Brems says the Emmanuel Lutheran Church invites everyone in the area to attend A Night in Bethlehem on the 5th and 6th. Passage through the village should take 15-30 minutes. The church is located at 1500 Pleasant Valley Drive and has plenty of parking.

Santa Arrives in Coshocton!

Santa Claus arrived in style on Friday evening riding in the bucket of a Coshocton Fire Department pumper. Making his annual debut at the end of the Miracle on Main Street parade, Santa Claus was then escorted to the Civic Hall where he greeted dozens of area youngsters and heard their requests for Christmas. Pictured is Kobe Rust, son of Jeff and Rachel Rust. Kobe told us when questioned about what he wanted Santa to bring him this year that he wished Santa a ‘Merry Christmas”.

The Community Remembrance Tree once again adds its beauty and peacefulness to the Gazebo located on the Courtsquare in Coshocton. Pictured left to right are; Barb Wilson, who is a volunteer with Hospice, Rick Hudson, who is the spouse of a Health Services of Coshocton County employee and Bob Bish, a Hospice volunteer. The tree will be at the gazebo until January 5th. A special thanks goes to Tom Edwards of Auer Ace Hardware for the use of the ladder! (Beacon photo by Mark Fortune)

As the holiday season approaches, our thoughts turn to the special loved ones in our lives who are no longer with us.

This year, Health Services of Coshocton’s Hospice Division will again be providing a way to remember those loved ones, or recognize a special person in our lives, through the Community Remembrance Tree in the court square gazebo.

Kenneth and Joann Scheetz, of Scheetz Christmas Tree Farm have again donated the live 15-

foot white pine tree in memory of Kenneth’s brother, Merle Scheetz.

Health Services of Coshocton will be placing ornaments on the tree for each loved one being remembered or honored.

The Community Remembrance Tree will initially be lit Friday, November 21st at 6:00 p.m. in conjunction with Miracle on Main, and then will be lit nightly at 5:00 p.m. thru January 5th, 2009.

Anyone may participate in

this annual holiday event by completing a card, which can be found at area pharmacies, or by contacting the Health Services of Coshocton office at 740-622-7311. Donations are not required to have an ornament placed on the Community Remembrance Tree, but are appreciated.

Please feel free to contact Health Services of Coshocton’s Hospice Division at 740622-7311.

Riding Onward...Sixth annual auction to benefit Higher Hopes Riding Center

Page 7

the warsaw business association is sponsoring

by Amy Helmick

In the 1800’s, an English Statesman named Lord Palmerston was quoted for saying, “The best thing for the inside of a person is the outside of a horse”. Tom and Peggy Roahrig know the truth of Palmerston’s words and in 1998, created the Higher Hopes Therapeutic Riding Center on County Road 17. The Center is a recognized 501(3) (c) non-profit organization that offers Equine Assisted Therapy to help individuals with disabilities and difficulties.

The idea of the center began in 1985, when the Roahrigs were operating riding stables at Lake Park.

A young girl in a wheelchair was scared and crying. Eventually she gained courage to take a pony ride, then wanted to go time and again. Retelling the story, Tom said, “Two hours later, the girl is still crying, but this time because she didn’t want to leave. We had to walk every pony over to her so she could give them each a kiss before she left.”

He realized the powerful impact these ponies had on this girl after two hours and wondered what kind of difference could result from long-term interaction.

After research, the Roahrigs applied for 501 non-profit status, which was refused.

It was the mid-1980s. The benefits of Equine Assisted Therapy had not yet been proven, but the Roahrigs believed in their vision and began a program in their yard. By 1997, animal assisted therapies were more

mainstream, and the Roahrigs successfully reapplied for 501 status.

Over the past eleven years, Higher Hopes’ growth has been gradual - just the way the Roahrigs envisioned.

They feel it is important to keep a personal touch and do this by limiting class size to seven. The staff gets to know the participants and monitors their progress, introducing the next activity when appropriate.

All activities are designed to continually improve eye-hand coordination, posture, language skills, balance, and muscle control. It also teaches group participation, social skills, and requires following directions. As individuals advance through the program, their responsibilities increase, from grooming and saddling their horse to mounting and dismounting without assistance.

Classes last one hour. Participants arrive, prepare their horse and take him/ her to the arena. During the first fifteen minutes, they walk their horses and greet everyone. Next, all gather in the center for exercises designed to increase the participants’ range of motion and flexibility. Once the warm-up activities are completed, riding exercises strategically designed to strengthen muscles as well as improve coordination, balance, and concentration begin. This includes weaving through barrels, placing rings over cones as they ride by, bean bag toss, etc. Through the program,

participants not only gain physical strength but also independence and self-confidence, which brings about positive attitudes.

Higher Hopes is a tremendous resource that benefits those with development delays, Attention Deficit Disorder, Learning/Language Disability, Autism, Downs Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy, Spina Bifida, Multiple Sclerosis, Brain Injury, and Brachial Plexus Injury. Their therapeutic treatments improves emotional well-being and can also help with those who are withdrawn or dealing with loss. Higher Hopes welcomed 350 riders last year, ranging in age from 6 to 56. Full-time participants come from Coshocton, Knox, Muskingum, and Licking Counties.

Hopewell contracted 1000 hours with Higher Hopes and proposed a trial with River View Special Education, having seen improvement in their program participants.

Roahrig said, “We will work with anyone we can,” and welcomes new participants. Interested persons are requested to call to make special arrangements (Phone: 824-4183).

Those interested in making monetary, material,

or time contributions to Higher Hopes can click on the “How Can I Help?” link of the webpage (www. higherhopes.org). Saturday, December 13, the community is encouraged to attend the 6th Annual Action organized by the River View FFA at RVHS cafeteria. All proceeds go to Higher Hopes, whose arena has prevented all weather from interrupting riding sessions - except the cold.

Doors for the event open at 4 PM. The action begins at 5 PM. Some of the items to be auctioned include a cowboy hat autographed by Tracy Lawrence & Charlie Daniels, Confederate Railroad Items, Gift Certificates, FFA Fruit & Nuts, and a Charlie Daniels Fan Package (show tickets and an invite to meet Charlie Daniels, included). There will also be over $30,000 of Tack to be auctioned, 50/50 Drawings, Door Prizes, Cash Raffle, Saddle Give Away and Concessions.

The Roahrigs are grateful to their students, volunteers, donors, board members and instructors, to the RV FFA for believing in Higher Hopes mission, and to the community members and organizations who have made donations for the December 13th Auction.

Caroline Heading stars in the role of “Miss Geneva”, the ousted director of twenty-seven previous Christmas Pageant productions in Fayro, Texas, in the upcoming performance of “Christmas Belles”, at the Triple Locks Theatre in December. The play is directed by Susan Gordon and is produced by Cathy Cosmar. (Beacon photo by Mark Fortune)

The Triple Locks Footlight Players will be presenting “Christmas Belles” on two weekends in December.

“Christmas Belles” was written

by Jessie Jones, Nicholas Hope and Jamie Wooten. The play is directed by Susan Gordon, produced by Cathy Cosmar and based in Fayro, Texas, for the holiday season and the annual Tabernacle of the Lamb Christmas pageant, hosted by the “Christmas Belles”.

The Futrelle sisters – Frankie, Twink and Honey Raye – are not exactly in a festive mood, however. A cranky Frankie is

weeks overdue with her second set of twins; Twink is in trouble with the law; and hotflash-suffering Honey Raye is desperately trying to keep the Christmas Program from spiraling into chaos. Miss Geneva, the ousted director of the previous twenty-seven productions, is attempting to take over the show; Frankie’s husband Dub is passing a kidney stone and Frankie lets slip a family secret that has been guarded for decades. But in true Futrella fashion, the feuding sisters find a way to pull together in order to present a Christmas program

Sharing God’s Love Throughout India

The Crouso family recently returned from an unforgettable return trip to India. Lena and Kendall Crouso and two of their children, Chloe age 15 and Addie age 9, along with Donna Hardesty all from Coshocton County spent nearly three weeks touring the country. They were sponsored by the Coshocton Nazarene Church and several other individuals who helped fund the expedition.

“It was a chance for us to reconnect with the same mission workers we visited with in 2004,” said Lena. “ This return trip to India was confirmation for me that God’s church is worldwide.”

The group ventured into all four regions of India, beginning in Mumbai (also known as Bombay). “India has been trying to convert back to their traditional city names prior to when the English names were established,” explained Lena.

They then flew to Aurangabad and then endured a four-hour jeep ride to the small village of Washin.

“That is where Reynolds Memorial Hospital is located,” said Lena. “That hospital is the ministry site where we spent our time in 2004.

We were able to visit with many of the same nurses there and see the upgrades the hospital has made. They now have their nursing school completed.”

The Reynolds Memorial Hospital is the only missions hospital in the area that treats the whole person both physically and spiritually.

The hospital was started by the Church of the Nazarene Worldwide several years ago. On behalf of Women Of Witness, the organization Lena founded ten years ago in Coshocton, Lena presented a scholarship to a female nursing student at the hospital’s school. “The $1,000 scholarship was given in memory of a former Women Of Witness executive director, Sheila Guilliams,” said Lena.

The group witnessed that the caste system was still practiced among the people of that country, even though

it was abolished by the government. “The women of the higher caste society are the ones allowed to be educated and have jobs,” Lena explained. “That just keeps the poor in poverty.”

“The Reynold’s Nursing School is for those women of the lower caste of society,” said Lena. “This nursing degree will help them to rise out of their current status and not be shunned quite as much. This scholarship will allow Indian nursing student, Ms. Chetana Meshram to complete her education and receive her degree.”

Lena says that the hospital’s burn unit was also completed thanks to gifts from the Coshocton Nazarene Church. A burn unit is important to have in India because women there are purposely burned as a form of punishment. “They are punished with burning for many reasons such as giving birth to a girl instead of a boy,” Lena explained. “Women also feel so unworthy in that society that they try to commit suicide by burning themselves.”

“For us as outsiders going into that culture we had to be careful to not go in with a sense of feminism. We had to go in with love and help the women see that their life does have a purpose.”

Something the group from Coshocton was blessed to do was deliver several baby blankets and simple little toys to the hospital. Baby blankets are very important to the Hindu culture because for the first five days an infant is not to have any woven clothing or material next to their skin. “Many of

these babies die during that time due to hyperthermia,” stated Lena. “The blankets we took them were a material they could use during those first five days.”

Lena says they plan to return to India. Kayla Crouso wants to return in the near future to learn more about the empowerment of the Indian women.

ago, will allow Coshocton to accommodate a much greater amount of corporate air traffic.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) procedures for determining runway length requirements indicate that a 4,400-foot runway is sufficient for small business aircraft. The FAA will therefore assist in funding a runway extension at the Richard Downing Airport to the 4,400 feet. The existing runway is 4,099 feet long.

In reality, insurance companies for corporate aircraft require a 5,000-foot runway.

Therefore, the Coshocton County Regional Airport Authority (CCRAA) along with the Coshocton County Commissioners have determined that the runway extension needs to be 5,000 feet and have made this a key priority to position Coshocton County at the forefront of the competition for business and economic development.

Don Yager, of Yager Consultants, Inc., has been involved with the Richard Downing Airport since 1975 as an airport planning and engineering consultant. He was instrumental in recently conducting an airport master plan study. Surveys were made of area business users of the airport. "The results showed that several businesses that use the airport are restricted by the current runway length in terms of cargo weight, passengers, plane size and fuel on board," explained Yager.

"Other businesses are unable to fly into Richard Downing Airport at all and must instead fly into Zanesville Municipal Airport and drive to Coshocton because Zanesville has

two 5,000-foot runways."

"The result is that Richard Downing Airport is losing fuel sales revenue which is their major source of operating revenue," continued Yager, "and Coshocton County is not reaping the maximum benefit of the airport as an economic development asset."

Dave Wiley of Wiley Organics agreed that an extended runway would be a positive addition to the county in terms of economic growth.

"Anyone looking at Coshocton as a potential site for a new company wants to be able to fly into the local airport," said Wiley. "The logistics of people getting in and out of the county to manage these large manufacturing facilities is critical. They want to be able to fly in and out of the local airport. It can be a big inconvenience on them to come to Coshocton since they have to fly into an airport from a distance away."

Wiley says his company has several clients who would like to fly into Coshocton Airport in their corporate jets if the runway were extended. "Our customers want to come here to visit and they want to know how easy it is to get here," Wiley added. "Once they get here they see that Coshocton is great. It would also be a big help to the county if corporate visitors could fly into Coshocton Airport and then they could stay overnight in our lodging facilities."

Yager discussed a study that was conducted by the State of Ohio in 2006 to determine the total economic impact of the 98 non-commercial publicowned airports in Ohio to their respective communities. "This study concluded

that Richard Downing Airport contributes more than 21 million dollars per year to the local economy," stated Yager. "It was ranked tenth in the state. While this is very impressive, the economic impact would no doubt increase dramatically with a longer runway that would accommodate significantly more corporate activity."

According to the Coshocton County Regional Airport Authority Board President, Dr. Jerold Meyer, the cost to complete the runway extension to 5,000 feet is estimated at $900,000. "The FAA will fund half of this cost," said Meyer. "Locally, we need to come up with $450,000.

Money raised from the past three Air Shows will be used toward this goal. The Coshocton County Commissioners and Port Authority Director, T.J. Justice, have also applied to OMEGA for a $200,000 grant for this project. We need to come up with matching funds locally to be eligible for that grant."

Construction on the runway extension is planned for 2010.

Any donations made to the Runway Extension Project are tax deductible since the Richard Downing Airport is a government-owned entity.

Make donations to the Richard Downing Airport Runway Extension Project, 24569 Airport Road, Coshocton, by December 31, for the tax advantage in 2008.

Other points to note during the afternoon is that white our turns into sugar in our bodies, which is why so many health experts urge us to avoid white bread.

Russell explained throughout the afternoon while she prepared the various dishes that were then presented to the participants that a can of pop has about seven teaspoons of sugar with about seventeen teaspoons of sugar 0031_111208

Karen Russell recently held a healthy cooking class at the Courtsquare CafĂŠ in Towne Centre, Coshocton, to show participants that it just takes a small dose of extra effort to cook – and enjoy - healthy meals. The fragrant smells of delicious, healthy food ďŹ lled The Courtsquare CafĂŠ as Russell explained to the partakers that “I’m here to help peopleâ€?.

She went on to explain throughout the preparation for people to, “cut out aspertane and all artiďŹ cial sweetenersâ€?. Choosing the right foods will allow the body to get the sugars that it needs – noting that the normal American diet today is loaded with sugars. One of the more interesting fruits that Russell discussed was the agave nectar – which is a 100% pure sweetener and comes from the cactus plant. Russell explained that she was inspired to get into more healthy cooking and eating as a way of life due to her own health background. “My passion is helping people feel better and stay better!â€? said Russell.

Explaining that packaged foods are not good for the diet because they are loaded with various combinations of sodium, starches, fats and sugars, Russell also stated that, “our body is bombarded by pesticides, etc.�
