REASON FOR THE SEASON With Christmas approaching, it’s easy to get all wrapped up in the glittery lights, the shopping, baking cookies, and finding that perfect gift for family and friends. But this Christmas season, take time to reflect on what the season is really all about, the birth of Jesus and the journey to Bethlehem. The Coshocton Christian Tabernacle had its Live Nativity drive thru last weekend on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights. It depicted not only the birth of Jesus, but defining moments throughout his life, death, and resurrection.

FUNDRAISER This custom-made poster was produced for the Coshocton County Animal Shelter to raise funds for the animals at the shelter. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED TO THE BEACON COSHOCTON - A custom-made poster has been produced for the Coshocton County Animal Shelter to raise funds for the animals at the shelter. The 19- by 26-inch poster was created by Shelter volunteer Phil Samuell of Gambier, who donated his design and photography skills along with The Watkins Printing Company of Columbus, who donated the printing of the fourcolor poster. The poster is for sale at $5 each and would make a great gift for the dog lover you might know. Samuell photographed five dogs in the back of his 1950 International Harvester pickup truck for the poster image. “This is an amazing gift to us,” said Ivy Farley, Coshocton County Animal Shelter co-director. “The funds raised from the sale of this poster will go toward medicines for the animals. Of course, we have a long list of needs at the shelter, so any gift is appreciated and well-used. Since the poster was donated, all money raised from the sale of this poster will go right into the Shelter.” Contact the shelter at 622-9741 to learn how you may purchase this poster.

Peoples Bancorp Foundation, Inc. supports Coshocton Unified Boosters CONTRIBUTED TO THE BEACON
DONATIONS Debbie Shryock and Phil Hunt of Peoples Bank presented a $5,000 check to Tim Fortney of the Coshocton Unified Boosters. Funds will be used for the Stewart Field Community Renovation Project. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED TO THE BEACON COSHOCTON - Peoples Bancorp Foundation, a non-profit corporation formed to make donations in Peoples Bank market areas, recently awarded $5,000 to the Coshocton Unified Boosters toward the renovation of Stewart Field. The donation will be used to help fund Phase I of the estimated $595,000 project. “Stewart Field has been the home of Coshocton High School Redskin athletic teams and the marching band for decades. We are very happy to support the boosters and work together to ensure it remains their home and becomes an asset available to the entire Coshocton community,” said Phil Hunt, Peoples Bank Branch Manager - Coshocton Main. Phase I focuses on the field surface and will include the installation of bleacher wraps with a logo-theme design that will encase the area under the stands, excavation of the existing playing surface, installation of base and drainage system for new field surface, and installation of ProGrass artificial turf surface. With the much-needed upgrades, the facility may be used year-round for school and community events. To learn more about the renovation project and how you or your business may donate, visit www.WeAreCoshocton.com. Peoples Bancorp Foundation contributions focus on charitable giving in four major areas: Community investment and economic development, youth and education, human services programs that improve the social needs of low- to moderate-income communities and individuals, and the arts and cultures. Organizations receiving grants meet those requirements and serve the markets where Peoples Bank currently has office locations. Peoples Bancorp Inc. is a diversified financial products and services company with $2.6 billion in assets, 59 locations and 58 ATMs in Ohio, West Virginia and Kentucky.

COSHOCTON – Ordinance 40-14, which deals with income taxes, received a second reading at Coshocton City Council’s Dec. 8 meeting and also a bit of negative feedback from the public. The purpose of the ordinance is to amend section 191.05 (D) of the codified ordinances of the City of Coshocton and reads as follows: The resident taxpayer making a return shall, at the time of filing thereof, pay to the administrator the amount of taxes shown as due thereof, however, where the tax so due has been deducted at the source pursuant to 191.06 or where the tax has been paid by the taxpayer pursuant to 191.07 to another municipality the taxpayer may claim credit of these taxes up to but not to exceed .75 percent. All city residents must complete and file a tax return regardless of whether any tax is due. Councilman Brad Fuller has heard from at least five residents who are not in favor of the ordinance and also received a letter from another one who is also against it. Fuller read the letter, which shared thoughts on how this ordinance puts residents who work out of town at a disadvantage and encourages people to leave town. The other ordinances that were read during the meeting received much less discussion. Ordinances 43-14 and 44-14, which both deal with transfers, and 45-14, which handled appropriations, were each given three readings and passed by council. The group also gave a first and second reading to ordinance 39-14, an ordinance to appropriate funds for current expenses and other expenditures for the City of Coshocton, State of Ohio, for Jan. 1, 2015, through Dec. 31, 2015.

Brothers use father’s collection of books to make unique bird houses
BOOKS FOR ART Fred and Jim Williams make decorative Golden Book birdhouses out of Little Golden Books that their late father, Max Williams collected. BEACON PHOTO BY JOSIE SELLERS COSHOCTON – When Max Williams passed away in 2011 he had more than 800 books in his Little Golden Books collection. Two of his sons, Jim and Fred Williams are now keeping his memory alive by making decorative Golden Book birdhouses. “There was a craft house in Findlay that made them and dad donated some of his books to,” Fred said. “They made him two and he kept one and gave me one. When he passed away I looked at it and thought I can do that too. Theirs is different than the one I designed though.” The brothers now offer their bird houses in three sizes of Golden Books, large, medium and mini and between the books their father had and they’ve since collected the brothers can make one in almost any theme. “If one of us doesn’t have the book we can usually get it,” Fred said. They also can turn the smaller bird houses into Christmas ornaments. “It’s fun to do,” Jim said. “I like trying to figure out which pages from the books look best on the outside.” Fred also has fun making the bird houses and believes his father would be proud of them. “He spent a lot of time collecting the books,” he said. “It’s a great way to remember Dad and use his collection in a positive manner.” Both Fred and Jim also enjoy hearing about the Little Golden Books that their customers remember. “‘The Poky Little Puppy’ seems to be real popular, but for me ‘The Little Red Caboose’ is the book I remember from when I was a kid,” Jim said. “I also like ‘Our Flag’ which tells the whole history of the flag.” The brothers also get a lot of requests for Disney books. The big bird houses are $30, the medium ones are $25 and the little ones are $20 and are available at the Cottage Gate in Roscoe Village at least until Christmas. Anyone wanting a bird house with a special theme can contact Fred at 502-0349, Jim at 294-0730 or e-mail goldenbooksmax@gmail.com. “They are unique gifts that you can’t just go to Wal-Mart and get,” Fred said.

AUTHOR Louise Cardenzana couldn’t be prouder of her 9-year-old granddaughter Piper Hawkins who was at Ohio State of Mind on Dec. 13 to sign copies of her book, “Visions of Light: A Christmas Story.” “She’s been writing for such a long time,” Cardenzana said. “She has copies of her stories with her own drawings in them so this is really exciting. She wanted to do this and was very motivated.” After attending a festival about books, Hawkins decided she was going to publish a book before she turned 10, which will happen on Dec. 18. “It’s really cool and amazing that I did this,” Hawkins said. “It was a challenge, but I got through it.” She is already planning her next book and said it will be about a puppy tooth fairy. “I sign my books with dream big and my name,” Hawkins said. “That would be my advice to others. Do what you want because you can do it.” BEACON PHOTO BY JOSIE SELLERS

DECEMBER 18TH, 1974 One of the most important parts of the Lake Park Development, the building of the aqueduct bridge, was to be launched in the summer of 1975, according to Mr. Montgomery, chairman of the Lake Park Development Leadership Committee. The footbridge was to tie together the property owned by Lake Park on both sides of the Walhonding River. It was also expected to increase tourism to Coshocton and Roscoe. The total cost of the bridge project was to be $257,000 and be completed by the Brode Company in Newcomerstown. The footbridge was to be eight feet wide and 310 feet long.
1984
DECEMBER 20TH, 1984 A month from now, on Jan. 20, 1985, officials planned to open Coshocton County’s new senior center on Brown’s Lane. John O’Reilly, director of the county development office, told the county commissioners that they expected 1,000 people to attend the grand opening ceremonies. Interior work on the building was almost complete with last-minute details still needing accomplished. Some citizens hoped the name Sarah Hay Wilson who donated her home to the county which had been considered as a site for the center, would be used in the naming of the center. However, the commissioners felt the “Coshocton County Senior Center” represented all contributors and users of the center. All information was obtained from microfilm of the Coshocton Tribune at the Coshocton County Library.

DECEMBER 19TH, 1954 Milligan Memorials, which was the oldest business of its kind in the community and had been in operation for more than 50 years, was moving from its location at Main and Water Streets to a partly-finished one story 130 by 600 foot concrete block building at the foot of the hill on Cemetery Drive.

Students raised nearly $200 for the animal shelter and then members shopped for needed supplies like cat and dog food, cleaning supplies, trash bags, paper towels, and laundry detergent.
On Nov. 21, five members (Reanna Ackley, Courtney Guthrie, Cassidy Cantrell, Taylor Holderbaum, and Tara Brush) along with their FCCLA adviser, Miss Kristen Binggeli went to the Animal Shelter to donate these supplies and socialize with the animals. The girls were very excited at the opportunity to go to the Animal Shelter. Once there, the girls were saddened by

Coshocton Hospital Laboratory becomes part of Genesis HealthCare System Lab ZANESVILLE – In the upcoming weeks, the laboratory services at Coshocton Hospital will undergo a change that will keep routine laboratory testing and a blood draw center in Coshocton, while placing the ownership and management of the laboratory under Genesis HealthCare System. Under this new model, onsite draws and testing necessary to ensure critical results for patients in the hospital, emergency room, and surgery, as well as processing for outpatient testing, will continue to be provided at Coshocton Hospital. This includes hematology, chemistry and blood bank services. Cytology, histology and microbiology studies that require culture growth and analysis will be performed at Genesis. A courier pick-up and delivery system will allow prompt turnaround of results to physicians and their patients. Board-certified pathologist and medical director of the Coshocton Laboratory, Roger Little, MD, will continue to complete on-site testing for rapid identification of malignancies when an immediate assessment is needed, such as during a surgical procedure. Under the new structure, laboratory staff will
become Genesis employees effective Dec. 16. All employees received job descriptions detailing the qualifications necessary to meet federal requirements outlined in the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Act (CLIA). One employee elected to retire, two will not be transitioning to Genesis, one took another position within the organization, and the remaining 15 accepted positions with Genesis. Tom Havranek, Jr., the current laboratory information systems manager, will become the Coshocton Laboratory Site Manager. He has 21 years of experience with Coshocton Hospital and will oversee the technical and operational functions of the laboratory. Jodi Maziar, a medical laboratory technician who has been employed at Coshocton Hospital since 1993, has been selected as the laboratory coordinator with oversight of day-to-day operations. Dr. Little will continue as the medical director of laboratory services. This transition has been planned for several months. The decision followed extensive reviews that revealed the integration would greatly reduce cost, create processing efficiencies, and
CONTRIBUTED TO THE BEACON bring enhanced testing services to Coshocton. “In today’s healthcare environment, small community hospitals can survive and prosper through strategic collaborations that provide the best care delivery and cost efficiencies available for our local communities,” said Lorri Wildi, Coshocton Hospital Interim CEO. “This integration of our laboratory with the Genesis Lab helps us meet high testing standards for our patients while keeping testing and lab draw services here in Coshocton. It’s another example of how Genesis and Coshocton Hospital are working together to keep quality health care services available in Coshocton.”

Here Comes Santa Claus
COSHOCTON – The image of Santa Claus has graced Christmas cards and decorations, and has been one of the most iconic symbols of the Christmas season for many generations. Many local men have put on the white beard and jolly red suit at holiday festivities to the joy of children and adults alike, but one man is still remembered to this day as the original Coshocton County Santa Claus. Lewis “Pooch” Blackson recalls the days he donned the Santa suit made by his wife’s grandmother as happy times filled with reindeer, parades, local merchants crowding the sidewalk, sleigh bells, candy, and most importantly, smiles on the faces of children. Pooch remembers vividly that after his 7Up route, he would stop at Ford Motor, which is now Chase Bank, and change from his delivering uniform to his Santa suit. Sheriff Gilbert Kempf would meet him out front, and the two would ride from Walnut Street to Eighth Street in the cruiser where Santa would take his place in the fire truck for the parade. “I remember all the local merchants would come out on the sidewalk and they’d wave and yell,” said Pooch. “They all wanted to see Santa. We always had a sleigh down at the court yard filled with candy and I remember one year, the kids got a little rambunctious and I did too, and they upset the sleigh.” One year during the parade, Pooch remembers, they had live reindeer. Unfortunately, one reindeer got his hoof stuck in railroad tracks
BY BETH SCOTT
and the attendants had a hard time pulling the reindeer free. “There was a building there with big glass windows, and I remember thinking that that reindeer is going to go right through that window,” said Pooch. “That was going through my head the whole time they were trying to get it free.” One very heartwarming memory that Pooch has of those days comes from two little girls, Mona and Mindy, who climbed up on Santa’s lap, put their arms around his neck, and told Santa that they loved him. “That was over 60 years ago,” said Pooch. “Those two girls are all grown now. One lives in Louisiana and the other lives in Washington. After 60 years, those two girls still call me every Christmas to tell me that they still love Santa. Isn’t that wonderful? Those were the great days of my life. I was so glad that I could do that for the community.” One memory that Pooch has of playing Santa isn’t quite so heartwarming, but it’s definitely one worth telling. “One year, Kenny Grier told me that his wife and kids would be at their house at a certain time and could I stop by dressed as Santa,” said Pooch. “Of course, I said yes. Well, I went to the wrong house! I was one block over from where I was supposed to be. The door wasn’t locked, so I just walked right in. There was a woman lying there on the couch, and when she saw me, she screamed just like I’d stabbed her. I think I made
her believe in Santa that day.” Pooch has also played Santa for the General Electric Christmas party at the Armory where they always used to ask him to sing, “I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus.” Santa also used to make an appearance at the Episcopal Church where he remembers a lady there who would always give him Old Spice aftershave as a gift. He also organized the first Christmas Tree Festival in the old American Legion Hall. Pooch and others would go around to different merchants and ask if they would consider decorating a tree to be sold during the festival. About 50 to 60 trees were decorated each year and the festival raised a lot of money for charity. The festival lasted about four years. Pooch hasn’t quite hung up his Santa suit yet. At a luncheon in Millersburg a couple of years ago, Pooch donned the Santa suit during their annual Christmas Tree Festival. “I sat down with a couple of ladies and told them that I’m going to transform into Santa Claus right before your eyes,” said Pooch. “I put on the beard and the hat and the suit. We laughed and had so much fun. Then I walked around to the different rooms and was ho-ho-ho with people and they all had so much fun.” Pooch has enjoyed his years as Santa Claus and remembers those times fondly. “I’ve enjoyed playing Santa Claus for this community,” he said. “It was wonderful.” BETH@COSHOCTONCOUNTYBEACON.COM

COSHOCTON – Kim Sapp stayed for the whole time at The Salvation Army’s first night of Christmas Castle shopping and was planning on doing the same on night number two. “This is my fifth year volunteering,” she said. “They’ve helped me and this is my way of giving back.” The Salvation Army planned on helping
495 kids during its two nights of shopping at Wal-Mart on Dec. 8-9 and greatly appreciated the volunteers who took them around the store. “The volunteers take the kids shopping and then bring them back to their parents,” said Betty Shutt from The Salvation Army. “They have a slip with what the kids need and make it a special time for them. They get to pick out all their own clothes and it’s their time to shine.” The Salvation Army works with the families to figure out if the kids are most in need of pants, shirts, socks, shoes or boots or a coat. “It’s all marked on the slip we give the volunteers with sizes,” Shutt said. “They get to spend $75 and when they check out if it doesn’t
BY JOSIE SELLERS add up they can go back to get socks or underwear until it all adds up. We can always use as many volunteers as we can get and the ones we’ve had are wonderful.” Youth volunteers were paired with adults and Sapp had the pleasure of working with Morgan Anglin a junior from River View. She was volunteering her time along with other members of the school’s National Honor Society. “It’s been a great experience so far,” Anglin said. The pair did it’s best to help 5-year-old Brookelyn Daley get the most for her $75. They managed to get Daley both boots and tennis shoes and some great items with pink in them, which is her favorite color. Daley’s mom, Maria Husk, greatly appreciated what The Salvation Army was able to do for Brookelyn and her other two children. “This is great,” she said. “They put a lot of time and effort into it.” JOSIE@COSHOCTONCOUNTYBEACON.COM

door, and there was Santa. I noticed he had no exchange gifts, but gave the children a stocking bag of candy treats from the party, whispering to me, “I’ll tell you later.” After our children had gone to bed, Santa explained he had been at the front door of a house and when he knocked, he heard a child up the hallway shouting, “Mom, come here, it’s Santa Claus!” He could see through the front door, Mom lying on the couch watching TV saying, “Now that is not Santa, get back in here and close the door. But the children kept yelling, “Come here, Mom, come here, it’s Santa Claus!” But again Mom yelled, “I told you kids that the way things are this year, Santa may not stop here!” And still the kids called out, “Mom, please come here, it’s Santa Claus!” Santa could see through the window Mom was getting off the couch and as she turned the corner into the hall, looking in the doorway with her eyes wide and her hands went to her face as she exclaimed, “Oh my God! It is Santa Claus!”

COSHOCTON – Christmas week several years ago, most of the lodges held a gift exchange and party for members’ children, with the special treat of Santa being there to hand out the gifts. At that time, two of our then five children had the flu and were too sick to attend the party. I told them if they were good for Grandma, who was babysitting, I would try and have Santa come to the house and visit them. They were excited and happy. At the party, I explained my problem to Santa, who agreed he could do this for me. Giving him the two exchange gifts and directions to where we lived one block north of the Elks alley, 6 p.m. The party over, we returned home with the good news “Santa” would be at our house for Mark and Marianne, because they had been good for Grandma. The arrival time came and went. 6:15 p.m., no Santa. 6:30 p.m., no Santa. How could we explain this? At 6:45 p.m., with tears in their eyes, they heard the jingle bells at our

Senior citizens share Christmas memories COSHOCTON – Vonnie Hubble still remembers the excitement of Christmas mornings from her childhood in the 1940s. “Everything was out under the tree and not wrapped,” she said. “I remember seeing a doll, a doll house and bike and not knowing what to go to first. I was an only child so I was a little spoiled.” Ruth McCoy often wondered about her stocking that hung on the fire place. “I’d hope there wouldn’t be coal in it,” she said. Hubble’s Christmas memories also include time spent with her late husband. “He loved to shop, buy gifts, wrap them and watch them be opened on Christmas morning,” she said. “He also trimmed the tree and did everything else. I didn’t have to do anything. I just got to sit back and watch.”

It was a bigger tricycle and I think it was red and had a bell on it.” When Thomas got married and had kids she and her ex-husband made sure they saved up for Christmas. “He worked for GE and I was a teacher with the city schools,” she said. “We saved up for Christmas by using a Christmas club. The credit union took it right out of his pay check. It was nice because the first of November you got your check.” Thomas’ daughter, who is older than her son, also played along with the idea of Santa Claus being real until her brother learned the truth. “Now her kids are six years apart like they are and her oldest is also playing along for the younger one,” Thomas said. If she had to guess, Thomas would say her daughter’s favorite Christmas present as a child was the tricycle she received from her grandparents (Thomas’ parents) and her son’s was a battery operated jeep. She also made a point of helping make sure the grandkids understood the true meaning of Christmas. “A couple of years ago I took my grandson to pick out a toy at WalMart and then we took it to the fire department for their toy drive,” Thomas said. “I wanted them to understand that it’s not always about receiving. It’s about giving. They know the true meaning of Christmas thanks to us and their parents.” JOSIE@COSHOCTONCOUNTYBEACON.COM

COSHOCTON – Lynn Weaver will never forget the kind gesture that the original owner of Golden’s once did for her mother-in-law. “Years ago Jerry’s mom stopped in and tried a coat on,” Weaver said. “Mr. Golden told her she looked very nice in the coat, but they had eight children and she just wasn’t sure if she could afford it. That night Mr. Golden showed up at their house. He gave Jerry’s dad the coat and told them to pay him when they could.” The Weavers now own Golden’s, which has been in business since 1913 and Carton’s Shoe Store, which has existed since 1909. Quality
Main Street
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 17 Golden’s also focuses on taking care of customers. “Florence (the manager) does a great job,” Lynn said. “She will help you find a scarf to add or jewelry so you get the whole complete outfit.” Golden’s offers people quality clothing in numerous sizes, including plus, and Carton’s has a variety of brands and styles of shoes for babies, children, women and men. Shoes also can be special ordered at Carton’s. “There used to be a lot more stores on Main Street and on Friday and Saturday nights there was constant traffic up and down the street,” Lynn said. “We aren’t doing too bad though. We have our good days and our bad days, but we also have some very loyal repeat customers.” The Weavers also have great relationships with their fellow merchants that they use to help their customers. “We’ve known the Turners from Dean’s for years and years, the Triplitts and even knew Mr. Golden,” Lynn said. “We all try to help each other out. If someone comes in looking for soccer shoes, I send them up to Steve at Carroll’s Men’s Shop and if someone buys a suit he’ll send them here for dress shoes. We need to educate people to shop local. We are all about customer service and offering people something a little bit special. At Carton’s we aren’t just going to sell you a shoe just to sell it. We make sure you get the proper fit.” JOSIE@COSHOCTONCOUNTYBEACON.COM

Christmas memories shared at Our Town Stories
BY BETH SCOTT
SANTA VISITS Mrs. Clary made a special visit to Clary Gardens on Sunday, Dec. 14 to volunteer her time helping at the Snacks with Santa event. More than 40 people attended and each child had a chance to sit on Santa’s lap and tell him what they want for Christmas. However, the day started with Chris Campbell, events coordinator at Clary Gardens, wondering if Santa was going to make it. Joe Hoover, who was scheduled to play Santa, had an emergency that morning and couldn’t make it. After a few frantic phone calls, Roger Stephen volunteered his time at the last minute notice to fill in as the jolly old elf. Julia Roberts volunteered her time as Santa’s helper and Nikki Darr also volunteered to take professional photos of the kids on Santa’s lap. Mrs. Clary started Clary Gardens in 2000 as a tribute to her late husband, Lawrence B. Clary, who owned a florist shop, Clary Brothers Florist. The business started in 1907 and closed in 2010. “I wanted to come here today to see Santa,” said Mrs. Clary, who also brought some cookies to the event. In addition to having snacks, the kids also made Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer crafts out of wooden discs. All of the proceeds from the event will go toward the development of the Children’s Garden.

she said. “They don’t do that anymore. They’re all about Santa Claus. But plays back in those days always were about the Lord. We always honored God.” Johnson remembers practicing every day after school for her Christmas program. “We always had Christmas Eve services at church,” she said. “And we always had a big program. I remember practicing every day after school. In our family, we always had candy, taffy, and fudge, and we always went caroling. My uncle used to take us on rides in the sleigh.” Johnson also remembers her last baby doll she received from Santa was in 1940 and she still has it. Marjorie Wright has quite a disturbing memory of a Christmas pageant one year. “Our schoolhouse in New Bedford caught on fire the night of the Christmas pageant,” she said. “Years later, I saw my first grade teacher and she asked me if I remembered that. I said that I did, but I knew something she didn’t. My mom had bought me a snowsuit, and I knew that if I didn’t bring that snowsuit home, I would be in trouble. So I kind of slipped away from the crowd outside and ran back in to get my snowsuit.” Greir also talked about the time two very different Santas showed up at his house. “I remember one year, I hired this guy, Tommy Ross, he was a short little guy, to come to my house and play Santa Claus,” he said. “Our neighbors across the street had a Santa Claus and told him before you go, why don’t you go over to the Greir’s house and see them? So he came over and knocked on our door, and he was a big guy! I opened the door and thought, what happened to Tommy? So then, 15 minutes later, Tommy shows up and he looks more like an elf! My kids asked me, what happened to Santa Claus, Dad?” Everyone agreed that Christmas is becoming too commercialized and we need to get back to the things that really matter. “Everyone is so greedy and mean anymore this time of the year,” said Lorine. “Christmas used to be about family and everyone was always so nice. You just walk down the street and people were always so nice. We need to get back to that.” BETH@COSHOCTONCOUNTYBEACON.COM

COSHOCTON – A big sack of candy filled with candy canes, nuts, and a big orange on the top seemed to be a common gift of yesteryear. A group of about a dozen people met at the JohnsonHumrickhouse Museum on Thursday, Dec. 11 to discuss their favorite holiday traditions from their childhood, and every one of them remembered receiving a sack of candy from Santa Claus with an orange on top. The Christmas spirit was alive and well as each person in turn shared his or her favorite memory of the season. “My favorite toy was probably a Shirley Temple doll,” said Lucy Baumgardener. “My daughters wanted a Chatty Cathy doll, but we only had enough money for one, so my daughters had to share. That didn’t work very well.” Some remembered that although they didn’t receive a lot of gifts, they never felt ungrateful for what they did receive. “I only got three to four gifts, and my brother and sister only got three to four gifts too, but we never felt deprived,” said Harry Medley. Kenny Greir said his favorite gift was a pair of high top boots with a pocket in the side for a penknife. He remembers he didn’t want to take them off. Lula Williams said the favorite gift she ever received was a desk her father made for her. “My favorite was probably doll babies,” said Joan Johnson. “We used to use butter to wash their faces because you couldn’t use water. I remember they had rubber bands around their arms and legs and the rubber bands kept falling off.” Good food is always a special part of the holiday season. Cathy Wegener’s father always made sea foam for Christmas, and she has a special memory of Syck’s bakery. “Every good meal we had, we had to have Syck’s dinner rolls,” she said. “Those were the best rolls. I asked for the recipe one time, but they took that recipe with them to the grave.” Lorine Medley has memories of fruit baskets during this time of the year. “Dad used to work at the brick yard,” she said. “He used to get a huge basket of fruit for Christmas from the brick yard. We couldn’t wait until he got home with all that fruit.” Another fond memory talked about was church services and Christmas programs. “We always went to church on Christmas Eve and that’s where Santa came to see us,” said Williams. “We always got oranges and candy.” Donna Kreitzer remembers getting candy and oranges for Christmas as well. “I remember schools would always have the big plays,” she said. “Gifts back then were a sack of candy with oranges in it.” Lorine remembers Christmas plays back then were always about Jesus. “I remember we always had plays at school and we always sang songs like ‘Silent Night’,”

Soldiers celebrate with families CELEBRATION Soldiers from the 1485th Battalion of the Army National Guard Kilo Company “Commandos” who have been away at boot camp and those preparing to move on to advance training and their families were treated to a Christmas party. The celebration was held Dec. 14 at the National Guard Armory in Coshocton and included a traditional holiday meal for about 300 people. Many volunteers helped cook and serve the food including Tim Hess, general manager of the Coshocton Bob Evans and his staff that were off that weekend. “We wanted to give them a chance to get nice pictures together and a good hot meal,” said First Sergeant Justin Sprankle. “We just want them all to have a nice day together and leave with a smile on their faces.” For more photos, visit www.coshoctonbeacontoday.com.

BY JOSIE SELLERS Muskingum, Licking and Knox counties are invited to attend Touch of Country Christmas. “I like meeting the kids out front and seeing their faces and wide eyes,” McMullen said. Collin McCoy, a junior at River View, enjoyed watching the children have fun. “It takes a while to set this up and is a lot of hard work, but then you get to see the kids’ smiling faces and you know you made them happy,” he said. McCoy has been involved with Touch of Country Christmas before, but this was freshmen Allysun Aslaksen and Jessica Yacapraro’s first year helping out. Aslaksen was carrying around a rabbit for the children to pet and Yacapraro was helping them color and write their name on a special wall. “It’s great seeing the kids and their excitement over Santa,” Aslaksen said. “It’s also so cute when they pet the animals.” Jim Rich, who is River View’s other FFA advisor, said they try to add something new every year and the Warsaw Lions Club is a big help with that. “Seeing the kids come in makes all the work that goes into this worth it,” he said.

COSHOCTON – In 2004, Irene Miller went to the Coshocton Foundation asking for funding to conduct a feasibility study on renovating the courthouse. Ten year later, Miller’s dream is becoming a reality. On Tuesday, Dec. 2, Lepi Enterprises started work on renovating the Common Pleas Court Room. After tearing down the drop ceiling, the staff at Lepi unveiled a beautifully-ornate high ceiling with three small paintings on the walls. “We are bringing back the beauty of the Common Pleas Courtroom with the help of the community, Judge Batchelor, and the County Commissioners,” said Miller. “We have a lot of treasurers in this community, but we have to preserve this one.” The present Coshocton County Courthouse was constructed from 1873 to 1875 and cost $65,597 to construct. Until 1824, court hearings were conducted in rented rooms above Charlie’s
RENOVATIONS Jim Lepi, Mark Sheets and Jason Ethell, all of Lepi Enterprises, Inc. are pictured doing work on the ceiling of the Common Pleas Court Room in the Coshocton County Courthouse. For more pictures, visit www.coshoctonbeacontoday.com. BEACON PHOTO BY JOSIE SELLERS Tavern and the commissioners paid $30 a year for the rent and an extra $2 a year for a smaller jury room. In 1819, a log house was built to serve as the first courthouse. That was later torn down, and a new two-story building was constructed in 1824 for a cost of $1,984. Notable changes in the courthouse include the removal of an iron fence in 1907, cannons and cannon balls placed in 1912, which were later removed for the war effort, and a large water fountain which was removed in 1949. Other notable features at the Courthouse are the majestic clock tower which was a handwind instrument until it was motorized in 1940. Until that time, a janitor used to climb the steep staircase twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening, to hand-wind the clock. Another feature of the Courthouse is the bell, which was forged in Pennsylvania and transported from Cleveland on the Ohio Erie Canal to Roscoe Village. Apparently, as the canal passed through towns in Ohio, the bell would ring announcing its presence. The mural painted by Arthur William Wolfe, which is 30 feet long and five feet high, is another notable aspect of the Courthouse. The mural hangs in the Common Pleas room and depicts the signing of the peace treaty between Bouquet and Native Americans in November 1764. That room is currently the home of a huge metal scaffold, called a dance floor, where workers

BY BETH SCOTT are currently restoring that beautiful ornate ceiling. It is unavailable for court hearings at this time, so the magistrate courtroom is being used. “It’s amazing what the judge has given up,” said Miller. “He has given up his room for this renovation. But what we’re going to have after these three months is amazing.” The public is invited to take a hard hat tour of the Courthouse on Jan. 12, 19, and 26, 2015 any time from 9 a.m. – 4 p.m. Call Miller at 5459554 to RSVP. “The judge is adamant that this project be open to the public,” said Miller. “He said himself that this is the public’s building.” The Courthouse staff is also planning an open house in the summer where the public can tour the building and see it completed. The project is expected to take 120 days since its beginning on Tuesday, Dec. 2. Editor’s Note: Special thank you to Irene Miller who contributed the historical portion of this article.

DECEMBER 17, 2014 THE BEACON CLASSIFIED HOTLINE 622-4ADS
COSHOCTON – The Coshocton County Commissioners met with Todd Shroyer, EMS Director, on Wednesday, Dec. 10 to discuss 2015 salaries. Shroyer proposed that the rate increase for 2015 be $0.40 more per hour to all employees with a slightly bigger rate increase for administrative staff due to having more responsibility as they are now required to become certified in operation hazmat level training. Shroyer expressed concerns to the commissioners that the wages at Coshocton County EMS are not competitive with other agencies in surrounding areas. Even with the increase, senior paramedics will be making less than a beginner dispatcher. Other counties are paying larger wages, and Shroyer has lost a few experienced paramedics this year because of that. “It’s important to be competitive with wages,” said Commissioner Gary Fischer. “You can’t keep losing those experienced people. We need competitive wages to attract and maintain quality people. It’s difficult when you invest all those years in an employee and then lose them because of wages.” The proposed wage increase will be added to the commissioners’ Monday agenda. The commissioners approved and reviewed: - A motion to sign Resolution 2014-68 for the replacement of deficient bridge (SFN 1631578) carrying CR 19 over Big Run in Coshocton County. This work will be performed as part of PID 97470 Cos-CR 19 / Lic-CR 204 / TR 21. - Receive the Monthly Transport Expense Account Report from Coshocton County Sheriff Timothy Rogers for the month of November 2014. - Receive amended certificate of estimated resources dated Nov. 25, 2014 from Christine R. Sycks, County Auditor.
