LIVE NATIVITY The Coshocton Christian Tabernacle brought the story of the birth of Jesus to life for county residents last Friday, Saturday, and Sunday night as the community was invited to drive through the back lot of the church and witness various scenes of Christ’s birth and life. By Sunday night, approximately 2,000 people had driven through with cars lined up on the highway by early Sunday evening for the final night of the event. Members from REACT donated their time to direct traffic for the three nights of the event. “My favorite part is the whole church gets involved and everyone pitches in to help out,” said Nick Johnson, youth pastor at the church. “I get to stand at the end and hear from the community what their favorite part was. It’s neat seeing the impact on the community.” For more photos, visit coshoctonbeacontoday.com. BEACON PHOTO BY BETH SCOTT

“This is one of those endings where the co-director and I tear up every time when one of George Bailey’s sons says, ‘Look, Daddy.

Teacher says, every time a bell rings, an angel gets his wings’,” said Collins. “It just gets us every time.”

Although there are no really challenging scenes in the play, Collins said the lighting and sound technicians have a challenge due to the number of scene changes.

Students in the drama club itself are being challenged as well. Just a few weeks ago, they performed, “Legend of Sleepy Hollow” on Nov. 20 and in the middle of January, they will be performing “Rehearsal for Murder” on Jan. 14 and 15 at 7 p.m. The leads for each play were cast early in autumn so that they could have plenty of

WEST LAFAYETTE – The Ridgewood High School drama club will be performing a Christmas classic for the general public on Monday, Dec. 21 at 7 p.m. at the high school auditorium and for senior citizens on Wednesday, Dec. 16 at 10:30 a.m. Although not well received when it first opened in 1946, “It’s a Wonderful Life” has become a must-watch for many each Christmas season.

“It’s a classic and we always try to keep our senior citizens in mind when doing our Christmas play,” said Jill Collins, director of the play. “We did this a number of years ago, and it was wellreceived, and we just happened to have the right students to be able to do it again this year.”

The play focuses on George Bailey, played

by Jared Norman, who is less than happy with his current life as he has given up his personal dreams for the betterment of his small town and his family, his wife Mary, played by Shianne Boone, and their children. When his Uncle Billy loses an $8,000 loan on Christmas Eve, George

“We’ve been rehearsing for the play for the past two weeks,” said Collins. “We’ve been spending a lot of hours together and we eat dinner together. We’re like one big family.”

Tickets are available at the door and are $5 for adults and $3 for students. Those attending the play on Monday, Dec. 21 are asked to park in the front parking lot.

“We always do a Christmas play for our senior citizens,” said Collins. “They are one of our steady audiences at other performances.

They are such great supporters and many of them helped to build our auditorium through their donations.”

Commissioners help fund new tasers for sheriff’s office

COSHOCTON – The Coshocton County Commissioners met with members of the sheriff’s department at their Wednesday, Dec. 9 meeting to discuss funding the purchase of tasers. The department currently uses tasers manufactured in 2003 and those are becoming outdated and cannot be repaired.

Currently, there are eight tasers still in use at the sheriff’s department. They are requesting funds to purchase 34 tasers to replace the ones already in use and to outfit all officers with a taser. So far, the department has received a $12,500 donation from the Skelton family and

$2,500 in community donations. One taser costs $1,023.88.

Tasers are an essential piece of equipment for law enforcement officers and have reduced injury to an officer by 90 percent and injury to a suspect by 60 percent. During the meeting, the officers present gave multiple accounts where using a taser has eliminated the need to take a life or injury with a pistol. Officers also said that many times, they only need to display a taser for the suspect to surrender.

The commissioners agreed to fund $19,811.92 for the purchase of tasers. An additional $10,597 is needed.

The officers also discussed Keefe Commissary Agreement added features including a prepaid debit card release system for inmates with the amount of money given to them on the card at time of release instead of mailing a check, an inmate phone ordering system where the inmate will use the phone in his or her cell to order commissary at any time, which frees up time for the corrections staff, and an internet and phone deposit for inmate commissary accounts where a family member or friend can deposit money into the inmate’s account without having to come in to the sheriff’s department.

The mayor and service director discussed possible projects to use CDBG grant money for, if they wish to apply and their application is accepted next summer. One project discussed was running water lines into the valley off of Sixth Street. Currently, there is some contamination occurring with the water lines and sewer in that area and residents may not be able to use their well system in the future. Extending the city water line would help 72 residences.

Another project discussed was the downtown lighting issue. The lighting downtown is approximately 30 years old and needs replaced and updated. During the recent sidewalk project, the city worked with Hilscher-Clarke to replace conduit and they also recently replaced 12 electrical boxes.

Stenner also announced that the circuit breaker box has also had to be repaired due to age.

The city is also interested in switching to LED lights to save energy and money.

No decisions on projects have been named yet, but these two projects are what the city deems is the most necessary in which to use CDBG funds.

DECEMBER 20TH, 1965 Private First Class John J. Saathoff U.S. Marine Corps was awarded a uniform by Leatherneck Magazine and an award certificate. The uniform was awarded to Saathoff for being the outstanding recruit in his platoon. In a letter to the parents of P.F.C. Saathoff, Lieutenant Colonel P.H. Simpson, United States Marine Corps, commanding officer of the Marine Corps Recruit Depot, San Diego, California, said that he won this award in competition with 78 men. After considering the knowledge, conduct, attitude, military bearing and leadership potential of all the candidates, Saathoff was judged most worthy to receive the Marine Corps dress blue uniform.

DECEMBER 24TH, 1975 Showing on Christmas Day, Cleveland’s WKYC-TV’s Montage program featured, “Roscoe: A Blessing in Disguise”, which won the top award at the Film Festival of the Americas. The film, produced by Howard Schwartz, had been entered into a large number of competitions from the Ohio State Awards, to be held in Columbus in January, to the American Film Festival, to be held in New York, where it was entered into the fine arts category. In addition, because the film was produced in connection with Montage’s Bicentennial series, it had also been entered into several Bicentennial film competitions.

“Roscoe: A Blessing in Disguise”, included an in-depth look at the “small town” concept through the eyes of residents. Interviews with notable Coshocton residents were included in the film, alongside shots of the village captured by the WKYC-TV crew.

DECEMBER 19TH, 1985 The Coshocton County Salvation Army had received national recognition based on the success of its grass-roots based support and distribution. Commissioner Norman S. Marshall, national director of the Salvation Army, said on CBS news Nightwatch broadcast that the Coshocton Salvation Army illustrated the close community involvement the agency tries to achieve.

FRESNO – Esta Raber’s favorite thing to do with her children is arts and crafts.

“Sometimes it was hard to come up with another idea though so I started writing stuff down,” she said. “Then I decided I need to write a book on arts and crafts and stuff for preschool age children so moms could go to it for quick ideas. I wanted it to be something they could go to when children say, ‘Mom what do we do now,’ which I know happens often.”

Raber put her ideas and some she had gathered from others into an 80 page book titled, “Making Memories with Little Helpers.”

The book is divided into arts and crafts, games, miscellaneous and cooking activities.

“My children love the gak, which is kind of like silly putty and the edible peanut butter playdough,” Raber said. “They also enjoyed Worming Our Way to a Special Day. We put circles on the wall and made a caterpillar. We were going to Colorado in 30 days and every day we took one off and sometimes they had something written on the back like let’s read a story or you get a treat. It was a big hit.”

When she started the book, Raber thought it would be mostly geared toward preschoolers, but she had discovered that even older children enjoy it.

“People have been giving it to older children and letting them get ideas out of it for themselves,” she said.

Raber has five children all under the age of 5 and said they and her husband were very supportive of her writing the book.

“Writing is my hobby and I just kind of made sure I made time for it,” she said. “The children also loved the idea of mom writing a book. They were at my elbow and fascinated by it and my husband was excited to.”

The classroom offers a lot of fun and educational toys for the children to play with including play houses, blocks, books, a kitchenette, a science area, and even a section for mythical creatures like Pegasus and unicorns where the kids are encouraged to use their imagination. They also have a computer that the students use once in a while.

“The Career Center had everything ready for us to go,” said Scott. “They were more than welcoming. Anything we needed, they gave to us.”

Scott said that the teachers try to give the students as much freedom as they can and let them make their own choices about what they want to do for the day. There is even an area for students to go and be alone if they choose.

“If we see that a student is having a bad day, we’ll take them aside and say something like, you look sad today,” said Scott. “They can sit in the quiet time area as long as they want if they don’t feel like playing with the other students that day.”

The Head Start is funded by Federal Head Start and they are a grantee agency. They recently passed the daycare licensing but are on provisional licensing because this is their first year. They are also working on a five-star rating.

They collaborate with the Career Center and Hopewell.

COSHOCTON – When Valerie Mollohan heard more volunteers were needed for the second day of The Salvation Army’s Christmas Castle shopping at Wal-Mart she decided to jump in and help.

She and her daughter Jay-Lynn Adkins took brother and sister Johnny and Shalee Luce around the store Dec. 8 and helped them pick out clothing and shoes and then brought them back to their mom.

Each child who was signed up for The Salvation Army program had $70 to spend and the volunteers had a list of their sizes and what they were most in need of.

The Luce siblings started out their shopping spree with shoes and socks.

“I got these boots because they are cheetah print,” Shalee said.

Her brother picked out black tennis shoes and camo pattern socks and Shalee selected “Frozen” themed socks. They both got new winter coats, a shirt each and Johnny picked out a pair of pants.

This annual event has become a Christmas tradition for the past 17 years and each year is dedicated to the memory of Karen Rich who passed away in 2006.

“The idea came from our tree farm,” said Jim Rich. “We did something similar to this at the tree farm, and we used to call it A Touch of a Country Christmas. This is all in her honor.”

Each year, A Touch of Country Christmas invites elementary students from all over the county and surrounding counties to participate.

schools, East Knox, Hopewell, and Head Start.

River View High School AG students donate their time, working ahead in their classrooms so they can take the day off to be Santa’s helpers at the event. River View graduates even come back and help each year during the event. Most came to the event as an elementary student and are now volunteering as a high school student.

“It’s become a tradition,” said Allyssa McMullen. “I did it when I was here in high school. It’s a great program and it affects a lot of students, not only the students coming, but the high school students.”

Rich echoed McMullen’s comment.

“We feel it’s just as beneficial to our high school students as it is to the elementary students who are coming,” said Rich. “It’s good for the high school students to work with the elementary students. A lot of the time, when they ask (the high school students) what was the most important project of the year, they mention this project.”

The AG students donate some of the animals for the event, although the ponies for the pony rides come from Tom Roahrig at Higher Hopes Therapeutic Riding Center.

“You ask kids what was their favorite ride and they all say the pony ride,” said McMullen.

“We really appreciate Tom bringing in the ponies and setting up the pony rides.”

During the Higher Hopes auction, bidders can bid on items placed in a sleigh and those items are then donated to a school who attends A Touch of Country Christmas.

BY BETH SCOTT “It’s a good thing to take stuff out from the auction and give it right back to the kids,” said Roahrig.

A Touch of Country Christmas also receives funding through the Warsaw Lions Club and the school board. Some members volunteer their time to help during the event.

Not only could students ride the ponies, but they could also interact with other animals like sheep, rabbits, llamas, goats, and even a pet skunk. Other activities included a coloring table, signing the Country Christmas wall, a cookie walk, and a chance to sit on Santa’s lap for a picture. They could also socialize with students from other school districts.

Rich, McMullen, and Roahrig all graduated from River View High School and for them, this program is about giving back to the community.

“Because of what we gained here at River View, we’d like to return that to the community,” said Roahrig. “We’re honoring the past and presenting the future with better things.”

When asked why they continue the program each year, Roahrig said, “Those smiles are what it’s all about.”

COSHOCTON – In July, six members of Coshocton’s Boy Scout Troop 406, based at Burt Avenue Wesleyan Church, participated in a Boy Scouts of America High Adventure experience at Sea Base on Islamorada Key in Florida. The scout participants were John Brems, Shane Deeds, Jacob Heading, Brennan McClain, Richard Paynter, and Austin Weller. Scout leaders Tom Heading and Jason Weller accompanied the scouts on their adventure.

The group flew from Pittsburgh to Fort Lauderdale and picked up a van to drive to Big Pine Key where they stayed for three nights.

During their stay there, they traveled to Key West and the Everglades to see the sites and visited a sea turtle rescue and rehabilitation facility on Marathon Key. The scouts checked into Sea Base on July 22 where they received an orientation, met their boat captain, Brennan, and first saw the Midnight Dragon, a 41-foot sailing ketch where they would spend the next five days and nights.

They set out for the waters of the Florida Keys that night. They sailed during the day, stopping at reefs to snorkel. They did some fishing along the way with limited success. Everyone took

While the winds were light most of the time, one day, they were great for sailing, and Midnight Dragon answered the call, providing an exhilarating sailing experience which the boys called, “Awesome”. The boat and crew returned to Sea Base on July 27 where personal gear was unloaded and the boat was cleaned for the next crew. A night stay in the dorm at Sea Base and a luau completed their experience, and they flew back to Pittsburgh the next day. Everyone really enjoyed their adventure.

This experience taught the boys how to live and work together in cramped surroundings. It taught them what it takes to operate a sailboat SEE ‘ADVENTURE’ ON PAGE 18

TRUE SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS Every year, many people in the community start off their Christmas season by attending the Coshocton Community Choir’s annual Christmas concert. This year was no exception as the three choirs, the Community Choir, Youth Chorale, and the Children’s Choir, performed to a packed auditorium. More than 200 musicians from all over the area come together every first Sunday in December to start the Christmas season by reminding people of the true meaning of Christmas. This year, the theme was “Gifts of Love” and focused on connecting with the perfect gift of Christmas given by God through the birth of Jesus Christ instead of trying to find that perfect gift for everyone on your Christmas list. The audience was also invited to participate in the concert during the singing of “Angels We Have Heard on High”, “What Child is This?” and “Joy to the World”. The choirs are accompanied by pianist Dickie Barrick and the Roscoe Brass Quintet. The choir’s spring concert entitled, “Lead On!” will be Sunday, April 24 at 3 p.m. in McKinley Auditorium at Coshocton High School. BEACON PHOTO BY BETH SCOTT

1. BECAUSE YOU HAVE A PAST

You can’t go back, but He can. The Bible says, “Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever” (Hebrews 13:8)

2. BECAUSE YOU NEED A FRIEND

Jesus knows the worst about you, yet He believes the best. Why? Because He sees you not as you are but as you will be when He gets through with you. What a friend!

3. BECAUSE HE HOLDS THE FUTURE

Who else are you going to trust? In His hands you are safe and secure - today, tomorrow, and for all eternity. His Word says, “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon Me and go pray to Me, and I will listen to you. (Jeremiah 29:11-12 NKJV)

Lord Jesus, thank You for dying on the cross for me. I recognize that You are the true Son of God, sent to the earth to pay the full price for all of our sins.

I believe that You were raised from the dead. You are God Almighty, and I surrender to Your Lordship. I am sorry that I have lived my life apart from You. Please forgive me for thinking that my life could have true meaning without You. I turn from my sins and choose to follow You. I give You my hurts and fears, my unforgiveness, my pride, my greed and all the garbage from my past. Thank You that I can start my life over again with You. I ask this in Your name. Amen.

COSHOCTON – The smoke has stopped pouring out of WestRock’s stacks and Ohio Means Jobs Coshocton County officials hope they have helped direct some of the company’s former employees into their new future.

The company announced in late fall that it was closing the plant, which was said to employ 225 people, before the end of the year.

On Dec. 9, the local Ohio Means Jobs office

had a special job fair at Lake Park Pavilion just for the displaced workers. Sherri Gibson, business coordinator with Ohio Means Jobs Coshocton County, said 20 businesses and educational entities were at the fair that was attended by more than 70 WestRock employees.

“A paper mill from Alsip, Ill. flew into recruit, Kraft hired eight on the spot, AK Steel is talking to several candidates and seven people are making the trip to Illinois to visit the mill up there,” Gibson said. “Nestle Purina in Zanesville also was excited with the applicants they got.”

Another service Gibson’s office provided the employees with was a transition center that closed at 5 p.m. Dec. 11.

COSHOCTON – Melissa Roahrig has always enjoyed helping the community, but in 2016 she hopes to do even more.

Her goal is to seek nominations from the community of children or families and treat them to a new outfit including shoes from items she collected either from donations, thrift stores, garage sales or found bargains on at stores.

“This could really boost someone’s self confidence and that would be the main goal,” Roahrig said. “I read an article in a magazine about a teacher in an inner city school who noticed in her classroom that students who were dressed clean and nice had a difference in their attitude toward learning. They felt more confidence in raising their hands to answers questions versus a student who say had duct tape on their shoes so she started a clothing room in an unused room in her school. Eventually she opened it up to other schools and people started donating items to it.”

Roahrig already has a couple of totes of clothing and is working on getting a 501c3 for her yet to be named program. She does however, know that she would like to make the program mobile and take it to where people are and have it up and running by March.

“I wanted to wait until March because there are already so many programs during the holidays, but what happens after the holidays?”

Roahrig said. “If it’s still cold then we can look at pants or help people get a spring outfit. We can change the outfits and the shoes with the season.

This is definitely something I want to do year round.”

Anyone interested in nominating a family or a child to be treated to a new outfit can contact Roahrig at 740-575-2361.

CHRISTMAS JOY Harold Haines, who lives on County Road 24, has been setting up a Christmas display on his property for more than 30 years. The display features more than 100 Christmas decorations and can be viewed each night in December. Pictured here is just a small portion of the display. BEACON PHOTO BY BETH SCOTT COSHOCTON – A Christmas display that started more than 30 years ago with one small angel has grown to well over 100 festive Christmas decorations. Harold Haines, who lives on County Road 24, has been collecting outdoor Christmas decorations for the past three decades and doesn’t plan to stop any time soon.

“People love it,” he said. “All the neighbors around here look forward to this. I see a lot of people in town or in my shop who especially love my ‘69 Camaro. My son made that many years ago.”

The ‘69 Camaro, nestled by Haines’ workshop, is just one of a few specialty-made items that Haines has on his property. He also features some items that are not made anymore including a life-sized Nativity scene and some inflatables.

But Haines’ decorations are about more than just spreading holiday cheer. For him, it’s about proclaiming the word of God. “It’s all about spreading the word, and if it changes just one life, it’s worth it,” he said.

When asked if he has a favorite display, he

BY BETH SCOTT pointed toward the large wooden cross displayed on his hillside.

“That pretty much says it all right there,” he said.

With all the Christmas decorations he has, it takes Haines and his wife approximately six to seven weeks to put up all the decorations, including about three days just to run extension cords. Haines also puts out luminaries about 10 to 12 days before Christmas. After all the decorations have been put up, Haines spends most of his nights surveying the property and doing maintenance on any item that isn’t working properly. With as many decorations as he has, that means he’s usually fixing at least one item every night.

“This is our thing,” he said. “On Thanksgiving, this is what my wife and I do.

The grandchildren wanted to start helping us, but we like to do this. But we’re getting to the point where we think we might want to start letting them help next year.”

Haines said that his electricity bill skyrockets in January, but has gone down considerably since switching to LED lights. However, he says the money doesn’t matter.

“You can’t put a value on this,” he said. “It’s priceless.”

On weekends in December, Haines said there is usually a line of cars by his house and people bring their kids to see his lights. He says he enjoys talking with the many people who stop by and he hopes people focus on the reason for the season.

“I hope they think about Christ and the joy of Christmas,” he said. “That pretty much sums it up. It’s about the birth of our Savior. It can’t be no more important than that.”

Haines lives about a mile out on County Road 24 off of State Route 83 on the left. If you drive out there after dark any night in December, you can’t miss it.

Ways to help with seasonal depression COSHOCTON – For most people, the upcoming holiday season is a time of celebration, spending time with family and friends, and baking up some family-favorite Christmas cookies. But for others, the season can be stressful, which can lead to depression or what is referred to as the Christmas Blues. Here are some helpful tips from Ken Sheffield of Six Counties Inc. in Coshocton on how to make your Christmas merrier.

“Keep a positive outlook,” he said. “Don’t think about the things you can’t do, but shift to the positive side and think about what you can do.”

Sheffield also cautioned on what kinds of movies you watch and music you listen to.

This time of the year, television is flooded with Christmas movies, and most of them set unrealistic standards on how the holiday season should be. Even some Christmas music may bring some people down, so Sheffield advises

not to listen to those specific songs this holiday season.

While most people find Christmas shopping fun, finding that perfect gift for that certain someone can also come at an expense you can’t afford.

“Be realistic when you go shopping,” said Sheffield. “Don’t spend money you don’t have.”

Probably the most important thing to do this holiday season to chase away the Christmas blues is to surround yourself with people you love.

“Be around other people,” said Sheffield. “If you isolate yourself, it’s just going to make the depression worse.”

Although we’ve been pretty lucky in Coshocton County with the amount of sunshine and warm days we’ve had this autumn, December through February are usually the coldest and dreariest months of the year in Ohio, which can definitely contribute to holiday and post-holiday

BY BETH SCOTT depression.

“Sunshine is a natural anti-depressant,” said Sheffield. “So if we have a sunny winter day, get outside if you can.”

How do you know when your holiday depression may be more serious and you need to seek professional help?

“When you wake up sad and it doesn’t go away, that’s a big red flag that you need to do something,” said Sheffield. “When you stop doing things you like or you are getting physically sick. Depression can make you physically sick.

Also, if you have crying spells and nothing has triggered it, that’s a sign that you need to get some help.”

Most of all, whether you have seasonal depression or not, remember Sheffield’s last piece of advice, and that is, “Do something every day that makes you laugh.”

Use these stress strategies for the holidays COSHOCTON - The holidays — a time of festivity, parties, shopping, entertaining, religious observances, family gatherings, decorating, and . . STRESS! With all the extra demands we place on ourselves and expectations of the season, is it any wonder that most of us feel some stress during the holiday season? The source of holiday stress is simple: When it comes to time, money, social and family commitments, most people try to do too much. Here are some strategies for making your holidays a time of renewal.

Set Priorities: People tend to overextend themselves during the holidays. It’s not necessary to attend every party and celebration that comes along. Decide what activities you and your family would most enjoy doing and focus on those. Learn to say “no” gently but firmly to social events that are over your limit.

Plan Ahead: Nothing creates more holiday stress than last minute shopping and preparations.

Take charge of your holidays in advance by making lists of things to do and setting aside some time each day for them. Consider setting

a cutoff date; after that date, things that haven’t gotten done will be deferred until next year.

Keep It Simple: A holiday feast doesn’t have to be elaborate to be wonderful. Often traditional fare is appreciated most, with guests providing some of the dishes. When shopping, take advantage of gift-wrapping services. Try shopping at home from mail order catalogues.

Let someone else compete for the “most fabulous holiday preparations” award.

Stay in Budget: Do holiday preparations strain your budget? Learn to say no to expensive holiday ideas. Choose simple, thoughtful, or useful gifts over elaborate, expensive surprises.

How can you enjoy the holidays if you are worried about paying your bills?

Riding the Emotional Roller Coaster: The holidays are hard on our emotions. The holidays of our childhood take on a magical glow that is often impossible to recover in adulthood. While the radios and department stores are blaring messages of peace and joy, you are dreading the family gathering that always leads to someone not

speaking to someone else. If family gatherings are stressful, avoid long visits, either in your house or away. Defer settling family arguments until some other time. Be willing to let go of old traditions if they no longer work for your family, and find new ones that do.

Take Care of Yourself: Counter the holiday pressures by giving yourself some time for rest and renewal each day. Avoid overindulgence in holiday food, alcohol and caffeine. Think about what the holidays are actually celebrating and try to stay true to that spirit. Peace and joy can be more than just a department store come-on.

Kiss the pig fundraiser raises money for United Way

BY JOSIE SELLERS told the employees. “I’m not looking forward to kissing a pig, but this is for a good cause.”

This was only one of several fundraisers Annin held for United Way. Pledge cards were collected from employees, there was a silent auction, a tailgate party for the Ohio State vs Michigan college football game, chili cook off and more that raised a total of $6,000.

“We had fun and tried to do different things to get our employees involved,” Parks said.

United Way of Coshocton County is in the midst of its annual fundraising campaign, which has a goal this year of $395,000. Currently 53 percent of that goal or $209,452 has been raised.

The funds help United Way support its 19 partner agencies.

To find out more about United Way of Coshocton County or how to make a donation, visit www.coshoctonunitedway.org.

Along the way, people were invited to taste some authentic Jewish food and make crafts at some of the various places. People were cautioned by the census taker, Pastor Bryan Kittner, to beware of the tax collector and others begging for money. Plastic coins were given to each participant so they could pay the tax collector and offer some to the beggars if they chose. Of course, people also had to be wary of the Roman soldier going on his rounds around the village.

“This is our gift to the community,” said Kittner. “A lot of effort and time goes into this and we try to make everything as realistic as possible. This is just to bring it to life and they learn a little bit of the history of what it was like back then. The greatest gift is the birth of our Savior. He is for everyone.”

BY MARK FORTUNE COSHOCTON - The Coshocton County Board of Realtors held its annual Christmas dinner with family, guests and affiliate members enjoying a delicious dinner catered by Schumaker Farms at the Frontier Power Community Room on Thursday evening, Dec. 10.

The event is always well attended and celebrates the past year, a presentation of awards and the installation of the new slate of officers for the Coshocton County Board of Realtors.

The guest speaker was Sara Calo, the Ohio Association of Realtors President for 2016. As part of her remarks she said, “We sell dreams and our goal is make sure everyone has a voice – so that you can do what you do.”

Katie Leitz’s pretend family was one of the many that often struggled with buying groceries.

“We never had enough money for everything,” said Leitz, a Ridgewood High School student in the youth leadership class.

“There was always something that got taken away.”

Darcie Keirns, a member of the adult leadership class, also found herself struggling with not having enough money.

“We didn’t eat until the fourth week,” she said. “I had to pay my bills first and then see what I had extra. I paid the electric and gas, but couldn’t afford to brush my teeth or wash the grease out of my hair.”

Even before this challenge day, the members of the adult leadership class decided they wanted to do something to help those in the community who might be struggling financially and came up with the idea to collect non perishable food items and toys to help families have a little bit brighter Christmas.

“This was a group effort,” said Darla Wagner, who came up with the idea. “We wanted to give back to the community in a positive manner and help fulfill needs for all ages. It’s a wonderful feeling to give back to others.”

Social work students display research posters on campus NEWARK - Students in Lecturer Penny Carroll’s social work course at The Ohio State University at Newark shared their research with the campus by displaying posters in The John L. and Christine Warner Library and Student Center lobby. The course is titled “Adolescent Parenthood and Sexuality: International Perspective.” Students worked in groups on their final projects and created posters to display their findings.

“I believe in taking the work outside the walls of the classroom,” said Carroll. “Students had to stand with their posters and answer questions about their research when it was on display in the Warner Center lobby.”

The course is designed to provide a broad understanding of the biological, psychosocial and cultural forces that influence adolescent sexual behaviors and fertility patterns, as well as family

CONTRIBUTED TO THE BEACON formation decisions. The poster presentation project required students to look at adolescent and teen psychological development, age range and gender emphasis, social and/or spiritual components, and local/international research and statistics.

Danielle Cantrelle, a senior from Pickerington, researched nomophobia and how it is effecting teens. Nomophobia is the fear of being without access to your mobile phone.

“A large percentage of teens cannot function without their cell phone or media device,” said Craft. “It has a huge impact on their mental health and wellness.”

“They feel they have to be connected all the time to be popular,” said Cantrelle. “It creates a false sense of reality.”

Casey Mumma, a junior from Granville, and Karlee Nogaj, a junior from Johnstown, researched the most effective forms of sex education in high school. Their group examined both abstinence only and comprehensive pregnancy prevention education.

“Schools that educated students with all birth control options, including abstinence, had much lower rates of teen pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases,” said Mumma.

“I think our research showed that abstinence only education can be a big problem,” said Nogaj.

“The students did amazing work this semester,” said Carroll. “I’m thrilled they were able to share their findings with the campus community through the poster presentations.”

The Ohio State University at Newark offers the best of the Big Ten educational experience, access to Ohio State’s more than 200 major programs, a rich research heritage and academic excellence.

Ridgewood Middle School performs ‘A Christmas Carol’

BY JOSIE SELLERS

Mullen said. “This is a hard play.”

The play, written by Carmella Gates, is based on the Charles Dickens novel, but has a few twists.

“She stayed pretty faithful to the dialogue, but added some humor and watered it down some,” Mullen said. “The dialogue though is older than these kids and they had to play some emotions that hopefully they haven’t had to experience in their young lives.”

Ian McCurdy, who played Bob Crachit, was up for the challenge.

“I liked trying to do the different emotions and feelings,” he said. “I enjoy getting to do plays in front of my friends, family and other people.”

Ashton Grindle liked acting out the parts of his character Fred.

“He’s Scrooge’s cousin and was a lot of fun to play,” Grindle said. “He’s a good character THEATER Ian McCurdy, Tara Sipes and Ashton Grindle practice a scene from “A who is nice and happy.”
