A Charlie Brown Christmas
BY MARK FORTUNE
Christmas pageants come and go each year but to the parents, siblings, and family members that attend these performances with cameras, cell phones and video cameras in hand, the opportunity to capture a moment is indeed, priceless. Fifth and sixth grade students from Lincoln Elementary School presented “A Charlie Brown Christmas” to the community on Tuesday evening, Dec. 13, in the CHS McKinley Auditorium. Accompanied by a chorus and directed by Aaron Mencer, the students said their lines with precision and the audience joined in on a few Christmas favorites. Tyler Huston, who was cast in the role of Charlie Brown, said, “It felt really good. I was really nervous at first, but I worked through it. It was just a lot of fun. It was a never ending twist, and it was so much fun being like Charlie Brown.” This was Huston’s first time on stage. Andrew Brown, who played the role of Linus, blanket and all, said, “It felt really good to play Linus. It was just a big honor for me and I’m hoping my parents were really glad that I got to do it.” Brown has
been in musicals at his church but without a speaking part. Brown said he started working on his big line first thing and, “I enjoyed the scene when I was doing my big line.” Madison Miller, who played Lucy, said, “I enjoyed the experience and working with other kids the most.” For those that know the play, Lucy has several challenging lines when she is in her role as the Psychiatrist, trying to help Charlie Brown define his phobias. Of these, Miller said, “I worked every night on my pronunciation. It took a lot of recesses and lots of homework. I will most definitely continue acting.” Lincoln Elementary School Principal, Mr. Dave Skelton said, “I was exceptionally impressed with the team performance and in my opinion, humbly so, I felt it was a quality performance by the children, obviously accented by many, many helpers behind the scenes, both children and adults. My thanks to the parents and to the children, most importantly the children, for their performance. It was heartwarming.”

A new facility to serve the need for the disposal of Utica Shale oilfield fluids is commencing construction in Coshocton, project developer Buckeye Brine, LLC announced today. Steve Mobley, President of Buckeye Brine, said the disposal well facility will provide a service essential to local drilling operations. “We’re glad to be here early. Coshocton County should see a tremendous amount of Utica Shale drilling activity and with that comes the need to dispose of the waste fluids. Disposal wells are an absolutely essential part of every important

oil and gas field. Although Coshocton County has had disposal wells for years, they’re by no means sufficient to meet the needs of the drilling activity we expect. Having these wells central to the activity will do a lot to lessen the impacts of truck traffic.” Mobley said disposal wells have been used since the thirties to prevent pollution from oilfield brine wastes, and that much of the early development of the technology occurred in his hometown of Kilgore, Texas. “We sat on top of an enormous oilfield and it had a huge requirement for the disposal of saltwater produced in association with the oil. Early on, they developed the technology of returning the fluid to the same strata they came from, or a similar one, and removed it as a threat to both surface water and groundwater.” Over 150,000 wells in the United States are used to dispose of oilfield fluids and to enhance recovery of depleted wells. The practice is regulated by United States Environmental Protection Agency, which delegates authority for the program to Ohio Department of Natural Resources. A disposal well works much like an oil well in reverse. The two Buckeye Brine wells in Coshocton will inject wastewaters about a mile below the deepest freshwater. Regulations require five barriers—three of steel pipe and two of cement--to isolate the groundwater from the saline formations that receive the brine wastes. Coshocton oil producer and oilfield supplier Rodney Adams is the landowner of the facility and will be managing daily operations. “We’ll probably never need more than about five people to operate it, but we think we’ll attract some tank truck companies to Coshocton. They like to locate near the wells they’ll be hauling water to, and Coshocton’s otherwise a good place for an oilfield service company to locate. We’ve already had some interested companies come visit, so we could see dozens of truck driving jobs come in pretty soon. We also expect a lot of trucks will be leaving our site loaded with water to take back out to the wells, so the City of Coshocton should be selling us a lot of water.” The facility, located near the corner of Airport Road and Highway 36, will initially consist of one well and associated storage tanks placed on a concrete pad with walls to contain any spills and drips. Mobley expects a drilling rig to move in within a week or so. Expansion plans include a second well and additional tank storage. “We’ll drill the first well and then start working on the surface facility. We hope to be open early in the second quarter,” he said. Buckeye Brine was recently organized to develop the project in Coshocton. The company’s investors are from Ohio and Texas and have extensive experience in energy production and services.

Hello, my name is Joel Mason and I would like to take a minute of my time to invite you to join the Branch Church on Christmas Eve. I invite you to come and see what all the fuss is about this season. Just so you know in advance, we won’t be giving lessons on Santa Claus, nor will we be speaking of the hottest new Christmas carol that shares a message of shoppers in their frenzy. No, instead we will speak of the only true thing that reflects the true meaning of Christmas and that is of the baby, who came to this world, and loved us before we loved ourselves; Jesus Christ. You see, At Branch Church we believe, “Tis the season for THE reason.” Not “tis the season for ANY reason.” I believe there is truly a gift for you and me to celebrate in this day. I believe there is more to life than waking up to die, and I believe there is a purpose for each one of us here on earth. With that said, I also believe that I am not perfect and that I make mistakes, sometimes very willingly. I also know what it feels like to be in a mess in my daily life, because I am just a mortal being. But, I also know that there is more to life than just running in circles. I believe in forgiveness of sins, and the power of the Holy Spirit. And I can tell you that I learn a little every day about humility and love. Because Jesus Christ came to this earth for me, for you, and like or not, for everyone else under the sun.

Make no mistake, He loves you. And that is why I would like to invite you to join us on December 24th at 7:00 p.m. If you know Jesus as Lord and Savior, please come celebrate Him with us. And if you don’t, please come and see why we gather to celebrate Him! By His Grace, Branch Church Family

Touch of County Christmas spreads holiday cheer to children BY JOSIE McCORMICK
Santa was in the room, but he wasn’t the reason Tina Tipton was smiling from ear to ear. “I’m going to ride a horse,” said the Hopewell School student. “It’s so soft.” Tipton and her fellow preschoolers were waiting in line for pony rides during Touch of Country Christmas Dec. 14, at River High School in its agriculture education labratory. She had her pony all picked out and so did Pablo Velasco. “I want the big black one,” he said. “I’m excited to ride.” Gideon Orban, had a blast coloring a picture of Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, but he also was ready to go for a ride. “It’s going to be fun,” he said. Pony rides were one of many activities offered during the program, which is a community service project for the Future Farmers of America. “We do it to support special needs children,” said Jim Rich, an

BY JOSIE McCORMICK agriculture instructor and FFA advisor at River View. “If we can make their lives happier for even a half hour it is worth it.” Touch of Country Christmas started in 1999, when Kecia Buxton, who is also an agriculture instructor and FFA advisor, was a student at River View. “It’s definitely grown a lot from that first year,” she said. “We’ve learned a lot about what works and doesn’t work. This year’s program gave kids from Coshocton, Knox and Muskingum counties the chance to enjoy pony rides from Triple “R” Stables, a petting zoo, games, a cake walk and visits with Santa Claus. “People at the Higher Hopes auction also bought toys and donated them back to Higher Hopes and we are going to give them to some of the kids,” Rich said. He also praised River View for supporting the program. “We’ve been real fortunate,” Rich said. “We use a lot of kids from the high school to make this happen and the teachers are very supportive. The superintendent also was here this morning to see how things were going. This takes a lot of cooperation.” One of the many River View students helping with the program was Hayden Watson. “I enjoy hanging out with the little kids and talking to them,” he said. Shawna Arzai also looks forward to helping with Touch of Country Christmas. “I love the atmosphere,” she said. “The little kids see the animals and they get all smiley.” K a r e n Kobunski, an intervention specialist Elementary, CENTRAL CHRISTIAN atsaidUnion her students start CHURCH asking about coming to the program in the fall.

December 27th, 1981 Four teams, two unbeaten and two with only one loss under their belts that season was preparing for the 1981 second annual Coshocton County Holiday Basketball Classic at River View High School. The unbeaten teams, River View and Ridgewood, would open the Classic on Tuesday at 7 p.m. Whoever would win that game would be declared the Holiday Classic Champions. At 8:30 p.m., Coshocton and Buckeye South, both with only one loss of the season, squared off. The winners of this game would play the losers of the previous game on Wednesday for second and third place ranks. Buckeye South took the championship in 1980 and Coshocton was runner-up. All information was obtained from microfilm of the Coshocton Tribune at the Coshocton County Library.

December 22nd, 1961 The senior high youth fellowship at the First United Presbyterian Church would be presenting seven scenes from the Nativity outside the church for the whole weekend. The cast changed each evening, allowing various young residents to participate in the live demonstrations. Actors were in costume and portrayed characters from Scripture throughout the night as live animals were brought in from area farms. The audience was requested to stand in the court yard, facing the church to be able to see all seven scenes. December 26th, 1971 Coshocton County hunters, Frank Sprague and William Veigel had just returned from their first trip to British Columbia where they had bagged two large moose. It was the second moose they had each killed. Veigel’s trophy moose was reportedly the second-largest taken that season with a 213-point rack. Each moose bagged weighed between 1500-1600 pounds. The two said that while they were in British Columbia, they had seen moose and caribou, but no grizzlies, although they spotted grizzly bear tracks during their 11-day hunt in the wild country.

December 22nd, 1951 It looked like a win for Fresno on the basketball court with six minutes to go in the game and Fresno leading by 12 points, but the Roscoe Tigers had something else in mind as they rallied in the fourth quarter to tie the game and eventually celebrated a close victory over Fresno with a 62-54 score. Fresno started off strong and led the game all the way until the very end when Roscoe finally took charge, making this the third victory for Roscoe in the season. Other games in the county were postponed due to snow, but the weather didn’t keep Roscoe fans away as they cheered their team on to victory.

The Ready, Set, Go participants at Coshocton Job and Family Services are sending handmade cards to servicemen and women in Afghanistan. Sixteen participants in the program made Christmas cards to send to 33 individuals serving in 1484th Transportation Company, Afghanistan. According to Robin Sharier, coordinator of the Ready, Set, Go program, “The purpose of this activity was twofold; to enhance the participant’s knowledge of current events, and to teach them the importance of having concern for others. These participants are struggling with their own issues and we feel it is important for them to understand that many other people have needs.” The program provides individuals who are receiving Ohio Works First (OWF) cash assistance with tools to become self sufficient. Participants learn job seeking skills, budgeting, basic computer skills through Connect to Your Community, nutrition skills through Kim Gress with the County Extension Office, and interpersonal relationship skills. Students who do not have a GED also work on academic skills in the JFS Resource Room. They also gain
valuable work experience at various worksites in the community where they enhance their work ethic and gain a practical application of the other skills they have learned. The cash assistance the participants receive is designed to provide them with support while they are learning the skills to become employed and to ultimately achieve self sufficiency.

Understanding ‘A Christmas Carol’: Chris Hart gives presentation on holiday classic BY BETH SCOTT The Christmas spirit was felt Thursday evening at the Coshocton Public Library as Chris Hart, dressed in his Victorian Christmas finery, gave an informative presentation on the variety of terms used in Charles Dickens’ classic Christmas tale, ‘A Christmas Carol’. Hart is the curator living historian at Roscoe Village and said that ‘A Christmas Carol’ is his second-favorite Christmas story, reading the classic tale at least once every Christmas season. He fell in love with the book when he found a 50 cent copy at a book fair when he was in

third grade, and he faithfully watched the Mr. Magoo’s Christmas Carol ever since he was a child. Hart explained that when reading the story each year, he came across certain terms and phrases he did not understand and would not be understood by today’s society, so he decided to look them up this year and find out their meaning. He started the evening by giving an historical account of the novel itself, saying that it was published in 1843 after Dickens’ popularity began to decline. Dickens first came up with the idea for a ghostly Christmas story in October of that year, finishing the novel by the first of December. This classic holiday novel was an instant success. Dickens printed 6,000 copies and just three days after the book hit the shelves in London, they were sold out. In February of 1844, ‘A Christmas Carol’ moved to theatres and soon, eight different versions of the story were featured, including one where Scrooge reunites with his long-lost love, Belle. In 1853, Dickens hit the road with his new popular novel and performed several dramatic readings in which he played several of the characters. ‘A Christmas Carol’ also had impacts on London society and their Christmas traditions, according to Hart. As Christmas did not become a federal holiday until 1870, shops and factories did not necessarily close for the holiday season, and even if they did, workers were sometimes not paid. After ‘A Christmas Carol’ became so popular, more shops and factories closed for Christmas Day and workers were more likely paid for their holiday. Surprisingly, because of Scrooge’s generous donation of the Christmas

Hart then delved into some of the various terms used in Dickens’ novel and explained their modern-day meaning. He also explained that various characters in the novel represent Dickens or someone in Dickens’ family. For example, the young Scrooge sitting in the schoolhouse all by himself on Christmas Day represents Dickens when he was young.

and cooling by regions. Because environmental control is crucial for the protection of artifacts, the museum’s staff and administration long considered this a serious issue. Objects such as JHM’s irreplaceable American Indian basketry collection and its wood, hide and art pieces have all been compromised because of high humidity levels. Furthermore, as the HVAC system aged, the facility itself has been damaged by recurring water leaks from the circulating system. In 2010, the Johnson-Humrickhouse Museum Foundation resolved to conduct a capital campaign to address this worsening problem. The Johnson-Humrickhouse Museum Foundation was created to manage the museum’s endowment and generate additional money to be used towards the museum’s operations. Since November 1999 when the foundation became operational, it has provided the museum with over $214,000--$177,000 for operations, $18,344 for capital improvements, and $19,200 for special conservation projects.

The Johnson-Humrickhouse Museum is pleased to announce the completion of its most significant building project since the building was constructed in 1979: the renovation of its heating, ventilating and cooling system. This accomplishment was made possible because of four generous contributors: the Schooler Family Foundation ($25,000), the Montgomery Foundation ($25,000), the Coshocton Foundation ($20,000) and the Johnson-Humrickhouse Museum Foundation ($25,000). Key components of the upgrade include the provision and installation of five new humidifiers, direct digital controls for each new humidifier, a new building automation system, and control modifications to the existing boiler, chiller and circulating pumps. The five existing air handling units were also upgraded with new direct digital controls, actuators and sensors. The HVAC system, installed when the facility was built in 1979, did not have the capacity to regulate humidity nor to control the heating

The boxes contained food for a holiday meal, a certificate for meat from Collins and a few extra items. “I’m so impressed that every school district is here,” said Captain John Cornelius. “There is such competition and rivalry between them, but when they get here, they work together to help the needy in our community.

The sounds of Christmas
BY BETH SCOTT
Tribune writer recognized by Ohio School Boards Association
The sounds of Christmas echoed through the Senior Center on Thursday, Dec. 15 as members of the bell choir from the Coshocton Christian School played six Christmas carols for local senior citizens. This was only one stop for the bell choir that day as they were ringing their bells all over town, stopping at four different places that morning. Twenty-seven children from kindergarten through sixth grade make up the choir and they have been practicing for the past three weeks. “I enjoyed the bells,” said Barbara Cogion, “and they all concentrated so much on what they
were doing. It’s nice to see children be able to do that.” The bell choir ended their concert with “We Wish You a Merry Christmas,” and then had another special treat to give to the seniors. Each member of the bell choir had hand-made and painted Christmas ornaments, which they passed out to everyone at the end of the concert. “I just enjoyed kids performing for us,” said Agnes Bechtol, “They did a wonderful job.” “I loved it all, especially the chimes,” said Rose Marie Kettler, “I haven’t heard any of that for a long time. It was quite a surprise really.”

Hayhurst was nominated for his fair and balanced coverage of career-technical secondary education in Coshocton County. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED

Recipes of Christmas past spiced up the 4th Annual Christmas Cookie Tour of Inns during A Very Vintage Christmas event on Dec. 4 and 5. Visitors from across Ohio and adjoining states toured the Amish Country Lodging Council’s 4th Annual Tour, a two-day charity event, which sold 1,200 tickets, and raised more than $13,000 net profits for recipients, Hospice of Holmes County and the Love Center Food Pantry. In addition to benefiting charities, the event awarded hospitality providers a stage to showcase their award-winning and unique properties. Amish Country’s finest inns and bed and breakfasts prepared classic delights from the recipe book “Festive Favorites” and served
CONTRIBUTED TO THE BEACON them up with 1940’s flare. Festive Favorites, a compilation of over 350 delectable cookie recipes, features classic treats bound by country proverbs. “Festive Favorites” editors Char Kellogg and Fran Mast offered baking tips and a book signing at the Berlin Hotel and Suites. The twelve inns showcased on this year’s tour were the Barn Inn, Berlin Grande Hotel, Berlin Hotel and Suites, Carlisle Inn Sugarcreek, Carlisle Inn Walnut Creek, Comfort Inn Millersburg, Donna’s Premier Lodging, Guggisberg Swiss Inn, Hannah’s House Retreat, Hilltop Manor B&B, Hotel Millersburg, and Zinck’s Inn. Visitors on the tour enjoyed seeing how each inn incorporated the 1940’s theme. Vintage holiday décor, Christmas trees dressed with tinsel, and Christmas cards from the 1940s decked the halls and guestrooms of the inns. Nick Biggens from Cleveland Heights, who purchased tickets as a surprise for his wife, said that when they walked into the first inn, they were overcome with nostalgia. “Visiting the inns was like reading a good storybook that you want to read again,” said Biggens following the tour.

Hospice of Holmes County and the Love Center Food Pantry will each receive a check of more than $6,000. “Oh, the power of a cookie,” said Mark Rohrer, co-director of the Love Center with wife Dorothy. “This contribution has come at the right time, when we are providing food to more and more people who have fallen into hard times.” The Amish Country Lodging Council, operating under the auspices of the Holmes County Chamber of Commerce, is dedicated to excellence in hospitality, and “embraces the concept of giving back to the community,” said Loretta Coblentz, chairperson. “The tour will continue to be an annual fundraiser for highly valued charities. On behalf of our hospitality partners, supporting businesses, vendors, and volunteers, we thank you for your contribution to this very worthy cause.” A limited number of first edition copies of the “Festive Favorites” cookbook is still available and can be purchased at the Holmes County Chamber of Commerce office or by visiting www.christmascookietour. com.
