Well, I hate to say I told you so, but . . . yes, I boldly predicted that the Browns would beat the Steelers last week during our Kiwanis lunch. Now if I could only be so fortunate with knowing what the economy and the stock market would do . . . oh MaRk foRTune well, such is life. While all of you know that The Beacon is all about the positive news in our community, we need to pause here to say shame on whomever paint-balled several homes in our community this past weekend. Their punishment when caught – and they will get caught – should be to wash down these homes. Maybe if we returned to some semblance of common sense instead of everything trying to be “politically correct” in this country we could get something accomplished. You know it to be true. There are hundreds of small community newspapers across the United States that are working hard to help their communities and serve the businesses and organizations in their market. And this extends well beyond the print media. This week’s front page photo is a great example of our local radio station working hand in hand with The Salvation Army to bring about the successful completion of the Christmas Castle project. Hats off to everyone involved. The Christmas season brings with it both joy and sorrow for many. And for many in our area, this will be a difficult Christmas with unemployment well over 10% and who knows how many classified as the “working underemployed”.

Commerce, Central Ohio Technical College, Job and Family Services and everyone who is working diligently to keep Coshoctonians employed and at the same time trying to bring more employment to our county. The key is education – we must educate our children – indeed, implore them – to seek an education beyond high school. That education can be a technical school, a skilled trade like the culinary arts, automotive, welding, cosmetology, electronics, the military or a four year college. The number of careers continues to increase and some little known opportunities exist in today’s economy that were not even known 10 years ago. Get on the internet and instead of playing around on Facebook or Twitter, do some research on careers and opportunities. Take advantage of local opportunities and career days at local high schools. These are all gifts that exist in our community. But the best gift you could give your children this year for Christmas might be the gift of inspiration. Inspire them to further their education and pursue a lifelong path of learning in whatever career of field they believe is best suited for them. The best thing about this gift during tough times – is that it is free. All it takes is some motivation and time devoted to your children. Our children are a gift, and inspiring them as parents, while challenging, can give our children the gift that truly lasts a lifetime.
Proud to have served the people of Coshocton and our surrounding communities for over 113 years!

Seated, left to right are; local author Debbie Snyder, Charter Member Betty Leech, local artist Esther Vertsch, Bennie McPeek, and Norma Grewe, President. Standing from left to right are; Rev.

The Trirosis Club of Coshocton met in the parlor of The Presbyterian Church for a wonderful 65th anniversary dinner catered by CCMH on Monday, Dec. 7. The forty ladies in attendance shared lots of smiles, gifts, much laughter and listened to stories of inspiration from local author Debbie Snyder and local artist Esther Vertsch. The Trirosis Club has been in existence since 1944 and charter member Betty Leech shared her memories of the club in its early years. Leech said, “We met at the Carnegie Library and since this was during the war years, these were tough years. We organized our own entertainment in the club with book reviews, demonstrations – and my demonstration was, “making and decorating Christmas cookies”. Since most of the men were off to war, this brought all of us closer together. We were friends and played cards, and pooled our gasoline coupons to go places like the skating rink in New Philadelphia. We volunteered at the Red Cross and anything that had to do with our soldiers, we did it. We baked cookies and made sandwiches and passed them through the windows of the troop trains as they passed through Coshocton. At that time, everyone listened to the 6 pm news on the radio”. Leech concluded by saying, “I think sometimes after 65 years that things might be different – but they really aren’t. We’re still supporting each other and that is what’s important”. Linnett Lowe told the group, “The word Trirosis comes from the Greek word meaning, “Three Sisters”. Three local ladies spoke following the evening’s meal; local author Debbie Snyder, local artist Esther Vertsch and following a dessert buffet of cheesecake, the Reverend Jan Coffman played the piano while members of the club sang Christmas carols. The club concluded the evening with a beautiful rendition of “Silent Night”. Norma Grewe is the President of the Coshocton Trirosis Club.

Jeff Richcreek, a member of the Higher Hopes Therapeutic Riding Center board, said, “There are just too many people to thank. The community overwhelms us with donations and support for this event. The River View FFA deserves a special thank you because without their sponsorship we couldn’t hold it here in the RV high school cafeteria. We are grateful that the FFA kids take this on as a community project”. Tom Roahrig, who heads up the organization, stated, “I just want to thank the community for their support, especially all of the volunteers who provide their services for this auction. We are really grateful to Jim Nelson for his time. Through the generosity of our volunteers, Higher Hopes receives 100% of the profits from this auction”. River View FFA President Duane Stutzman commented, “We’ve always helped the Higher Hopes Riding Center with members of our chapter on hand to help and I feel that this is a real community service. We’re proud and honored to host this event. It’s an opportunity for us to help this group. Tom does so much to help us and we’re glad to help them out as well”. Andrea Lepley, who donated a buckeye cake for the silent cake auction that featured cupcakes for the necklace, remarked, “Because I work in a multiple disability classroom in Heath – we take the kids to the Higher Hopes Riding Center twice a year so we like to help Tom out”. Volunteer Jen Jones said, “I do this for my kids. I have two kids that ride and my niece rides. It gives them the opportunity to be like typical

Canal Lewisville Recreation received a grant from American Electric Power in honor of AEP employee, Tim Matis’ significant volunteer service. The AEP connects program recognizes the commitment of AEP employees and retirees to their communities and supports causes that are important to them, according to Michael G. Morris, chairman, president and chief executive officer. More than 940 grants were made company-wide last year representing more than 124,000 volunteer hours donated by AEP employees and retirees and their families. “This $150 grant from AEP will be used to further improve the ball fields at Canal Lewisville Park for the more than 125 children in the Keene and Canal Lewisville areas that enjoy playing baseball and softball each summer”, stated Julie Pepper, treasurer of the board at Canal Lewisville. “We thank Tim Matis for his service and dedication to the children of Canal Lewisville Recreation and AEP for their generous donation”.

students learn “soft skills”, a huge bonus in today’s job market In an ever-changing economy, many students who are about to enter the working world are wondering what they need to do to find, get and keep a job. Having a good set of job-related skills may, however, be only half of the equation for success. Thirty-eight high school seniors at the Coshocton County Career Center have had a unique opportunity to learn about that other half. Experts say that in today’s competitive job market, hiring decisions often hinge on job candidates’ “soft skills.” What are soft skills? A hands-on employability program offered through the national Junior Achievement Association – a series entitled JA Success Skills - is helping those thirty-eight seniors understand and put into practice those soft skills. The program, complete with student materials and support tools for those hands-on exercises was funded through the regional Junior Achievement office in Akron, which covers programs in Coshocton County. The seven sessions that make up the series are being taught by Derek Dozer, Human Resources manager at Clow Water Systems. Dozer, a volunteer through Junior Achievement has been coaching students through a series of multimedia presentations, games and case studies to reinforce

These are the skills that, according to Dozer, today’s hiring managers are looking for in potential employees. “I hate to see kids not know what to expect when they go in for that first interview,” said Dozer, “I am usually very frank with the students so that they’ll not be hit with any surprise questions.” Dozer says he will typically ask job candidates about both their job experiences and their personal history – both of which play an important role in painting a complete picture of how an interviewee would fit into the company as an employee. The work-readiness series has been used successfully for three years and was designed to meet the needs of a diverse group of high school students by providing engaging, academically enriching, and experiential-learning sessions. “In a recent survey, 8 out of 10 high school students who participated in JA Success Skills stated that they felt better prepared for the world of work,” said Ali Savage, program coordinator with Junior Achievement of North Central Ohio, “This is due largely to JA volunteers, like Mr. Dozer, who take the time to share their experience with students, connecting the dots between school and the world of work.” The seven-part series covers sixteen critical success skills against which job candidates are typically measured or rated. To the degree students can master these skills and look for opportunities to develop them, they will become sought-after candidates in almost any job market. The sixteen skills covered in the program and reinforced though applicable learning experiences include reading comprehension, concise/informative writing, clear/accurate communication, active listening, critical observation, using math to solve problems/make decisions, project planning, problem solving/decision-making, teamwork and cooperation, advocating and influencing others, conflict resolution/negotiation, leadership, taking responsibility for learning, taking time to reflect and evaluate outcomes, learning through research and using information and communication technologies. “These are the soft-skills that employers are looking for in potential employees,” said Darla Wagner, Cosmetology instructor at the career center and currently instructing student in the class. She goes on to explain that at times, having the above described skills will even trump industry or career skills. “Certainly in today’s tight job market, it’s becoming more and more critical that today’s graduates try to demonstrate these skills right up front,” said Debbie Kapp-Salupo, Career Center Superintendent, “that’s why these Employability classes are so very important for our students.”

The Warsaw Medical Clinic has a new home in Coshocton County, but don’t worry. They haven’t moved far. Even before the new facility was constructed, staff knew that the old building wasn’t meant to be permanent. The original intent was for the clinic to be in its current location all along. Now that the old facility has been torn down and the new clinic has opened, patients can expect a new and improved atmosphere. There is now more privacy for the patients because the walls are now sound proof, so consultations between doctor and patient are more intimate. Also, the parking lot, which is where the old clinic used to stand, is paved, which makes it easier for patients with wheelchairs and walkers. The staff also has more storage room than they had in the old building. “We wanted to establish a permanent presence in Warsaw,” said Roger Williams, senior director of Physician Services at Coshocton County Memorial Hospital, “I’m very pleased with how the facility turned out. Our main goal is to provide excellent health care for Warsaw, and this facility provides patients the opportunity to have access to health care.” The Warsaw Medical Clinic has two physicians: Dr. Baig and Debbie Dickson. Dr. Baig worked at the old facility for two years and specializes in internal medicine. He is a traditional doctor in the sense that he sees both hospital and clinical patients and is always on call. Dickson specializes in child and family mental health. She has worked at the clinic for three years and accepts all types of insurance. Both physicians are currently serving over two thousand patients and are accepting new patients. The clinic’s hours are Monday thru Thursday from 8:30 a.m. – 5 p.m. and 8:30 a.m. – noon on Friday. They can be reached at (740) 824-3568.
The Coshocton County and City Health Departments has expanded local H1N1 influenza vaccine eligibility to all residents on Dec. 14. The Ohio Department of Health has lifted restrictions on the vaccine that prevented the local health departments from vaccinating people who did not fall into high risks groups. For the next week, the health department will continue to focus vaccinations efforts exclusively on health care and EMS workers who provide direct patient care; pregnant women; people who live with or care for children less than 6 months of age; all people 6 months to 24 years; and people 25 to 64 years with chronic medical conditions. Christy Mosier, Emergency Preparedness Coordinator said, “Beginning the week of Dec. 14, all individuals who want the H1N1 can receive the vaccine free of charge from the County and City Health Departments at our scheduled H1N1 flue clinics.” Officials from the Ohio Department of Health evaluated several factors before making the decision to lift restrictions on vaccine eligibility, including prior vaccine distribution, feedback from local health departments and discussions with other state and federal health officials. In addition to being vaccinated, Coshocton County residents can help stop the spread of illness by washing hands thoroughly and often; covering mouths when sneezing or coughing; and staying home from work or school if sick. For more H1N1 clinic information call the County Health Department at 295-7397 or the City Health Department at 622-1736, Ext. 112.

In a time when Americans are placing more emphasis on environmental stewardship than ever before, a growing number of people are discovering the numerous environmental benefits of choosing a real Christmas tree that is naturally superior to the alternative. “Some people still don’t understand that real Christmas trees are far more environmentally friendly than the artificial alternative,” said Kenneth Scheetz, owner of Scheetz Tree Farm, “At the time they are harvested, most real Christmas trees have been producing oxygen, sheltering wildlife, conserving soil, improving

water quality and absorbing carbon dioxide for more than seven or eight years.” Christmas tree farms around the state are planting thousands of trees every year, and with those trees come a host of environmental benefits. The vast majority of Christmas trees purchased in this country come from a farm where growers plant one to three seedlings for each tree harvested. Close to half a billion trees are currently growing on U.S. tree farms. Then, after the season, Christmas trees can be recycled for use as mulch, fish and wildlife habitat and for controlling stream bank erosion. In sharp contrast, plastic, petroleum-based artificial Christmas trees never biodegrade, and after their useful life likely go to a landfill. Along with being a much more environmentally friendly option, real Christmas trees offer customers a chance to visit a farm and see those benefits at work. “Have you ever seen where an artificial Christmas tree comes from? Chances are they don’t give many tours at those Chinese factories,” said Dave Reese, president of the Ohio Christmas Tree Association. “Tree farms are great places to visit for their natural beauty and the chance to spend some time outdoors in the country.” Whether it is a chance to spot some wildlife, take a deep breath of fresh oxygen from the trees, or simply spend some time on a farm with family, a real Christmas tree is clearly the naturally superior and enjoyable choice this holiday season. For more information, call Scheetz Tree Farm 622-3656.

WEST JEFFERSON, OH - Nate Elfrink is 7 ½ years old and has been fighting cancer his entire life. Nate lives a half mile from us and is friends with our boys. Not only that but he is a second cousin to our family. It is with deep sorrow that I heard the news last week of his brain tumor growing back (expon...entially) when they returned from St. Jude’s hospital with the devastating news. Unfortunately, there is not much more they can do for him. His last wish is to receive as many Christmas Cards as possible, (hopefully 1 million)! If you get a moment, could you please send a Christmas card to Nate? Here’s his address: NATE ELFRINK 2415 TAYLOR BLAIR ROAD WEST JEFFERSON, OH 43162 More importantly than a card, please take the time to pray for Nate and his family in this difficult time. Merry Christmas! (Editor’s Note: This was brought to our attention by Amy’s sister, Betsy Brown, who is a Coshocton County resident. Please take time out of your busy holiday schedule to send Nate a card for Christmas.)
Beacon announces second annual Christmas Story Quiz!
These cookies won’t crumble Local pastry chef Amy Taylor, Nancy Kangas and Ann Leppla were the judges at a recent cookie fund-raiser for The Pomerene Center. With over twenty entries, the judges said, “We’re looking forward to it”. When asked about consuming all of that sugar, they responded, ‘We’re not worried about that!” There were five different categories of cookies for the contest; spirit, heirloom, balls, bars and nuts and cutouts, cutups and decorated and finally, pressed. The qualification to enter in the heirloom category was that there had to be a story behind the entry. Judging was done based on four criteria; appearance – “you eat with your eyes first”, texture – a cookie can taste great but if it doesn’t feel right in your mouth it’s not a good cookie, smell – an award winning cookie needs to have a great smell - and taste. Obviously, a winning entry will just taste good!

the little pine tree in the forest that was smaller and tattered, unlike all the tall and beautiful pine trees. The little tree felt insignificant, but was always there to help an animal in the forest that was in need. When the queen came through her forest, she wanted to destroy the little tree because it was so ragged and small, but then thought of how it had helped the animals in the forest and finally decided to take it back to her palace for her Christmas party. The story is called, “Why Christmas Trees Aren’t Perfect” by Richard H Schneider and Elizabeth Miles and is available at the Coshocton Public Library. canDLe LighTing conTinues faMiLy TRaDiLocal honorary students from three Tion Pictured is three year old Elijah felumlee Coshocton schools were assistant candle lighters of Dresden, receiving his flame from roscoe Village for the evening.

Roscoe Village lit up its lights for the second of three candle lighting ceremonies on Saturday, Dec. 12 at 6 p.m. People from all over the community gathered for this annual tradition to sip warm apple cider and enjoy some Christmas cookies and fellowship. This evening, Bill Hixon was the honorary candle lighter. Mr. Hixon had the honor of decorating the White House Blue Room Christmas tree for the past twenty-eight years and always hid good luck charms deep inside the tree. Each year, the Blue Room Christmas tree holds from seven to eleven thousand ornaments. Mr. Hixon gave a brief history of some of the symbols of Christmas such has how the red holly berry came into existence. It was believed that the holly berry used to be green until the death of Christ. When Christ first wore the crown of thorns, which was made from holly branches, one of the thorns pricked His forehead and as the blood dripped onto the berries, they became red. Mr. Hixon also told a story of the kitten in the manger. Long ago, kittens could only meow. That was the only sound they could make, until the kitten in the manger wanted to give something to the baby Jesus. So, he curled up beside Him and started to purr, singing Him a lullaby. Now, every time kittens purr, they are remembering the special gift they gave to Jesus. “If that’s not a true story,” said Hixon, “it should be!” After Mr. Hixon spoke, Don Lain from Coshocton Nazarene Church gave the invocation and then Ridgewood Chorale, under the director of Mr. Stephen Snyder, sang “Come to the Manger.” The story reader for the evening was Mr. Charles R Snyder.

Strapless, sequined, beaded, or ball gown, prom dresses are as unique as each of us. But, sometimes the one we really want is out of our price range. Would you like to save a ton by purchasing a used dress? Well, check this out! Club Scion and the Mentoring Center of Coshocton County are hosting an event like no other in our community. On Jan. 9, 2010, the annual Especially for You will be at The Metoring Center, 441 North Main Street (SOTA building next to Peebles) in Coshocton, Ohio. Especially for You will have dresses on display that were worn in the past years with where and when on the ticket with the asking price for that garment. Accessories and shoes will also be available for purchase at a fraction of the original cost. Vendors such as Mary Kay, Avon, etc will also be there to help find the perfect look with their products. If you have a dress that you would like to sell, the cost to market it at Especially for You is $5 per dress and $2 per accessory (including shoes, purses, jewelry, etc). Give us a call right away to reserve your spot. Call (740)610-7433 and ask for Jessie. The deadline to register is Jan. 7, 2010. In the case that your dress wouldn’t sell, we can offer you a donation receipt to help recoup some money through taxes. If your dress is donated, it will go to a girl in Coshocton County whom may not otherwise get a dress. Last year we gave away 50 dresses to girls and with the economy, this year looks to be a greater need. If you have any questions, please call The Mentoring Center of Coshocton County at (740)623-8110.

Decorative christmas oRBs in coshocton county Beginning this week, you may notice large round objects showing up in unexpected places. On Wednesday, Thursday and Friday nights, Dec. 1618, decorative lighted ORBS will be found throughout Coshocton, then on Saturday, Dec. 19, you may find them floating at Lake Park before they will arrive at their final destination--the PARK Hotel lot on Main Street where they will remain through the holidays. Anne Cornell director of the Pomerene Center for the Arts says the ORBS were created by the River View Junior High Art Team. “They made seven ORBS and one fish that we used for the Miracle on Main Street parade a few weeks ago,” she said. “They were so well received that we wanted to get them out for a more prolonged period of time in the community. Light, in winter, is such an important energy source for our human brains. We loved them in the PARK lot when we had them there the night of the parade. Putting the lighted ORBS in the lot for an extended period of time goes right along with our hopes for the space--to create new energy in a useless blighted spot.” Supplies for the ORBS were donated by local businesses. Cornell says coaxial cable was donated by Time Warner and packaging wrap was donated by Novelty Advertising. “LED battery lights are suspended in the interior of the ORBS,” she said. “They are all approximately three feet in diameter.” For more information about the ORBS project, go to http://pomerenearts.org/education/schools “There is also a link on that page to an award winning public art project called Verdant Walk in Cleveland that was our inspiration for this project,” said Cornell. “That is how we ended up creating orbs, although we did not call them that until we started throwing them around: they suddenly felt like they belonged in the sky.”

A partnership effort has resulted in the creation of a training needs survey to be distributed to the Coshocton County business community. Efforts by the Coshocton County Career Center, Central Ohio Technical College Coshocton Campus, Coshocton Port Authority, Coshocton County Chamber of Commerce and the Knox County Career Center Adult Workforce brought about the survey being distributed this month. “This information is critical in order to seek out or develop training opportunities for the entire workforce in our community,” said T.J. Justice, Executive Director of the Coshocton Port Authority. Justice said the single most important factor to existing and future businesses today is the quality of the workforce. It’s imperative that training providers know what qualities and skills are needed in order for private enterprise to be able to produce goods and products or provide a service. The survey, which can be completed online in about three minutes, will be distributed to each member of the Coshocton County Chamber of Commerce. Non-chamber members may receive a survey to complete by contacting administrative assistant Billy Jo Wilson at 622-5411. Information gathered as a part of the process will be kept confidential and provided to the Port Authority for use as it deems appropriate.

The Coshocton County Board of Realtors held their Christmas luncheon at Raven’s Glenn on Friday, Dec. 11 with Heather Guess and Heather LePage coordinating the activities. The gavel was passed from outgoing President Christi Olinger to incoming President Jim Nelson. Tony West presented a gift to Olinger for her tireless efforts and continuing the strong community presence of the local board during her two year tenure. Olinger said, “I want to thank everyone for their help during the past two years – and for giving so much to the community – we have helped a lot of local organizations”. Continuing, Olinger commented, “It’s been a wonderful two years – we’ve accomplished much during these two years and I’m turning over the President’s reins to a very capable Realtor in Jim”. The Board of Realtors also installed their slate of 2010 officers; Jim Nelson, President, Tom Dile, Vice-President, Marlene Griffith, Secretary and Jessica Williams, Treasurer.

Darlene Guess presented the 2009 Honorary Member of the Year award to Mil Chandler, who worked for Renfrew Realty and lived in Coshocton for 22 years. Of Chandler, Guess said, “She was the real estate scene here! She set a standard and gained the respect of every Realtor in this area. Oftentimes she sold a home two, or even three times.
