It has certainly been a year, hasn’t it? As The Coshocton County Beacon publishes the final edition of 2009, we would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone that has requested to receive The Beacon. Thousands of you took the time Mark forTune to fill out a postcard or, complete the online form so that you could continue receiving the area’s only locally owned newspaper weekly – and for free. We appreciate the time that you took to do this. Your support is overwhelming and provides us with the energy and motivation to continue taking pictures, writing stories and publishing a positive weekly newspaper when the economy and the newspaper industry have both pointed - at times - to a not so bright future. But it is with great anticipation and excitement that we enter 2010 here at The Coshocton County Beacon. We believe that our community is already seeing the signs of good things to come – and while these indicators may only be apparent in several smaller measures, it is how we believe the local economy will turn around. One small step at a time. Key positives on the local scene for 2009 would have to be the runway extension at the airport as number one, with continued growth at the Coshocton campus of COTC close behind, and several stimulus funds projects coming to fruition. We are not sure why State Route 16 needed repaving, but it is nice to drive on. A better use of the highway funds would have been to repave the stretch of US 36 from Newcomerstown to the junction of 250 above Uhrichsville. Ask any ECOL

fan that makes that drive and they will tell you that. Okay, so not every project makes sense – but we all know that is how the government works. Several local businesses opened their doors in 2009 or expanded, providing much needed jobs for the local economy. Too many people have to drive out of our county for work. The city of Coshocton has begun a much needed campaign to eliminate housing blight and completed some much needed repaving themselves. If you drive around the city, you will notice some empty lots where homes once stood. This is a positive thing as everyone in our county has seen a decline in the value of their homes. The community stood together as one to watch the Ridgewood Generals and Coshocton Redskins football teams make it to the state semi-final game, with both teams succumbing to the eventual state championship winner. To have one team make it that far would be an achievement – let alone two. And the success of our local football teams takes nothing away from soccer success, volleyball triumphs, wrestling, cheering or cross country successes. The young people of Coshocton County continue to amaze when you watch their accomplishments in academics, music and the arts, or athletics. Sure, we have some youth that need our attention, but name a community that doesn’t? And we let many of them down when the OSU Extension levy failed to pass. As this issue of The Beacon goes to press, the fate of 4-H in Coshocton County is still unsettled. We are confident that it will be resolved to a degree of satisfaction and that the 4-H program will continue. The county fair would not be the same without it. So as we close the final Mark’s Musings column for 2009 – let’s remember that we live in a county that provides a safe, loving and kind community in which to raise our children and grand-children, a community that cares about those that are hurting, cares deeply about our elderly, and is passionate about those that are less fortunate. And even a Sheriff’s office and EMS squad that can talk a Dad through how to birth a baby!

During the autumn quarter of 2009, the Center for Academic Success (CAS) became a new resource for students at Central Ohio Technical College. Housed in the hub of student services and activities, the John L. and Christine Warner Library and Student Center, the CAS is home to the following distinct services for students at all levels and from all academic programs: * the Communications Resource Center (CRC, which provides a writing and speech lab) * the Math Lab, a resource that has been active for nearly 20 years * the Education Media Resource Center, which will open for service in Winter quarter 2010. Because there has been an identified need for writing and speech assistance among many COTC students regardless of the class, the CRC was researched and developed. This new resource has become extremely popular in a short time. More than 700 student visits have been made to the CRC since Sept. 23 when the doors opened. Bruce Weaver, Interim Director for the Center for Academic Success, said, “Students have used the CRC for writing assignments for a science class, like Biology, so it definitely reaches beyond the Composition and Speech courses.” There are 24 laptop computers available for students to work on their own in the CRC on writing or speech assignments. Advice is available from a consultant/tutor when needed. Some students request an appointment for more personalized attention; these are typically 30-minute sessions with a consultant/tutor. Students may even use a room to practice and record spoken presentations as well as borrow flip video cameras for similar purposes. Lauren Richardson, a first-quarter practical nursing student, had a paper due for her Basic Writing course on the topic of the American dream. Her instructor gave Lauren the CRC contact number, which was a help. “I got help with my thesis statement and better defining and narrowing my topics,” said Lauren. She said she also learned how to reference sources. “Katrina, the consultant/tutor, guided me through a handbook on reference pages as well as assisting with my editing process.” “If it was not for the CRC, I’d still be trying to figure out how to improve my paper. I plan to continue using this resource in the future,” Lauren said. The nursing student’s advice: “I’d suggest to any student to not be afraid to come into the CRC; you won’t be labeled or singled out. Come on your own time and work at your own pace.” Hours of the CRC vary each day but the center is open Saturdays from noon to 3 p.m. For more information, go to www.cotc.edu, click on Current Students and select Center for Academic Success.

Amy Hasseman, Executive Director of the United Way of Coshocton County, has announced her resignation to pursue opportunities with the family business, Hasseman Marketing and Communications. “Our local United Way has been very fortunate to have been under Amy’s leadership for the past three years,” said Beccy Porteus, President of the Board of Control. “Amy is a very talented individual with a lot of enthusiasm and dedication for whatever task is at hand. We knew she would eventually move on to other opportunities. We are just very thankful to have had her serve as director this long and we wish her the best.” Under Hasseman’s leadership, United Way has developed several community impact programs. The Dolly Parton Imagination Library program currently provides free books monthly to any child age birth to 5 years who is enrolled in the program. Currently there are over 643 children enrolled with an additional 143 who have graduated out of the program. The FamilyWize prescription drug program was started in March of 2007 and has saved county residents over $61,169 to date with over 5,000 claims filed. The Positive Balance program is in its second year and Hasseman was one of the main driving forces who brought this program to our county. Positive Balance is a comprehensive financial literacy and empowerment program that provides free financial services to residents of our community. All three of these programs were brought to Coshocton County without taking any funding

The Christmas spirit is hard to come by these days. People seem so concerned with themselves that the concept of giving to others doesn’t cross their minds. That is certainly not the case at Conesville Elementary School. From the first of December until Dec. 14, students at Conesville Elementary collected over 7,300 non-perishable items for the Salvation Army this holiday season. To make this event fun for the kids, the school decided to have a contest. Whichever class brought in the most cans would win a huge party on Monday, Dec. 21. And the lucky winner is … Mrs. Cores kindergarten class, who collected over 2,000 cans alone, and 1,000 of those cans just arrived the last day of the contest. “We talked about helping people at Christmas,” said Mrs. Cores, “It was a contest and we wanted to win, but we also realized there were a lot of people out there who didn’t have anything to eat, so we brought it to that level too. They’re a good group of kids and they care about others. That’s very important to them.” There was an awesome party for the class on Monday, Dec. 21 including a Christmas movie, a snack with hot chocolate and marshmallows, festive music with a “disco ball” and even a surprise visit from the jolly old elf himself, St. Nick. The PTO, Lisa Crawford, and Chris Campbell sponsored the party. Coming in at second place was Mrs. Donaker’s sixth grade class and coming in at third was Mrs. Brillhart’s fifth grade class. Each runner-up also received a special treat. “Some of our students will actually benefit from this food drive,” said Chris Campbell, secretary at Conesville Elementary, “The

It’s not every day you get to see ponies, goats, calves, rabbits, and Santa Claus all in one place. But on Thursday, Dec. 17, Higher Hopes made that happen for several area special needs children. For over ten years, “A Touch of Country Christmas” event has been giving area children the opportunity to play games, go on pony rides and even visit with St. Nick. Students from Conesville Elementary, Union Elementary, Hopewell, Keene Elementary and Licking Valley enjoyed the festivities, which were at River View High School on Wednesday, Dec. 16 and Thursday, Dec. 17. Higher Hopes even stayed late Thursday evening and invited special needs people in the community who couldn’t make it during the day to come in and visit. “Some of them don’t get the opportunity to do this stuff,” said Missy Wilson from the Newark Education Service Center, “It’s fun to watch a kid go from scared to death to smiling and not wanting to get off the horse. It’s a great feeling.” There were also at least sixty volunteers on hand throughout the two-day event from the River View FFA chapter. They also created all the festive pictures on the walls and constructed Santa’s house. “It not only helps the special needs children, but it helps the volunteers involved too,” said Tom Roahrig of Higher Hopes Therapeutic Riding Center. “We couldn’t do it without them.” The Warsaw Lion’s Club also does their part to keep this Christmas tradition alive. Each year, they donate money to Higher Hopes which goes toward buying decorations for “A Touch of Country Christmas”. The decorations this year including a real Christmas tree all decked out for the holidays, and a giant snow globe. The Lion’s Club also helped to purchase treat bags for the kids as well and McDonalds provided the drinks. Santa (also known as Joel Hamric) took time out of his busy schedule to appear and have his picture taken with all the kids, which they took

deck the halls: riverside Tower has third By BeTh dulaney annual decorating contest Residents at Riverside Tower are spreading some holiday cheer with their third annual “Deck the Halls” contest. Students from the Coshocton County Career Center came by on Thursday, Dec. 17 to judge all five floors and chose a winner. The residents on the fifth floor won the contest and received a free pizza party. Each door on the fifth floor was decorated with wreaths and ribbons with Santas and stockings gracing the hallways. The floor captain was Ethel Goss and she made sure everyone on her floor spread the Christmas spirit by decorating. She also made all the decorations lining the fifth-floor hallways. “This floor really pulled together,” said Kaylene Blackstone, property manager at Riverside Tower, “The floor captain was out knocking on doors making sure they all decorated for the contest. They all try to pull together, and if one resident isn’t able to decorate, their neighbors help them.” Each floor can also pick a tree to decorate in one of the commons room. “We really want to get enough resident participation next year to make this a big event,” said Blackstone. The fifth floor came in first with the second floor coming in close behind with second place.

9. When the weather outside is frightful, heat your home safely. Never use your stove or oven to heat your home. Never leave portable heaters or fireplaces unattended. Install smoke alarms on every floor of your home and outside all sleeping areas and test them once a month. 10. Cut down on your heating bills without being a Grinch. Get your furnace cleaned by a professional; change the filters regularly. Make sure heat vents aren’t blocked by furniture. Close off any rooms you aren’t using and close heat vents or turn off radiators in those rooms. Use either insulating tape or caulking strips to surround your windows and door moldings. Put up storm windows or storm doors to keep the cold out. 11. Don’t move a muscle, until they buckle. Each person in your vehicle should have their seatbelts securely fastened before driving off. Ensure children are buckled up and their car seats are installed appropriately based on their age and size. Children 12 and under should always sit in the backseat. 12. Resolve to Be Red Cross Ready in the New Year. You can take one or more actions to prepare now, should you or your family face an emergency in 2010. Get a kit. Make a plan. Be informed. Best wishes for a safe and happy holiday from the American Red Cross of Ohio Hills.

symptoms of hypothermia, including confusion, dizziness, exhaustion and severe shivering. 5. Use a Red Cross-trained babysitter when attending holiday festivities. Red Crosscertified babysitters learn to administer basic first aid; properly hold and feed a child; take emergency action when needed; monitor safe play and actively engage your child; and some may be certified in Infant and Child CPR. 6. Avoid danger while roasting chestnuts over an open fire. Stay in the kitchen while you are cooking and be alert. Keep anything flammable—such as potholders, towels or curtains—away from your stove top. Have a “kid-free zone” of at least 3 feet around the stove and areas where hot food or drinks are prepared or carried. 7. Be a lifesaver during the holidays and always. The Red Cross recommends at least one person in every household should be trained and certified in first aid and CPR/AED. Your local Red Cross chapter has conveniently scheduled courses and can have you trained and certified in a few hours. 8. Designate a driver or skip the holiday cheer. When you designate a driver who won’t be drinking, you help make sure a good party doesn’t turn into a tragedy. A good host ensures there are non-alcoholic beverages available for drivers. The designated driver should not drink any alcoholic beverages, not even one.
Safe living
With last-minute gifts to buy, social events to attend and family and friends to visit while the weather outside is frightful, the American Red Cross has 12 days of health and safety tips to make the holiday season safe, happy and bright. 1. Prepare your vehicle for traveling to grandmother’s house. Make an emergency kit and include items such as blankets or sleeping bags, jumper cables, fire extinguisher (5 lb., A-B-C type), compass and road maps, shovel, tire repair kit and pump, extra clothing, flares, tow rope. 2. Drive your sleigh and reindeer safely. Avoid driving in a storm, but if you must, keep your gas tank full for emergency use and to keep the fuel line from freezing. Let someone know your destination, route and when you expect to arrive. 3. Help prevent the spread of the flu. Wash hands with soap and water as often as possible, or use hand sanitizer with at least 60 percent alcohol. Use sanitizing wipes to disinfect hard surfaces such as airplane tray tables, luggage handles, cell phones, door handles and seat armrests. 4. Prevent hypothermia by following Santa’s lead. Dress in several layers of lightweight clothing, which will keep you warmer than a single heavy coat. Wear a hat, preferably one that covers your ears. Seek medical attention immediately if you have

Despite freezing temperatures and slippery roads, a crowd gathered at Roscoe Village for their last candle lighting ceremony of the season on Saturday, Dec. 19 at 6 p.m. The River View Certified Golden Choir, under the direction of Mrs. England, sang some traditional Christmas carols to start the event. Rev. Robert Millspaugh gave the invocation. Rev. Millspaugh has been involved with the church in various ways for 37 years and has been in ministry for 54 years. He is a pastor emeritus/ parish associate at the Presbyterian Church. After the invocation, Rev. Millspaugh read a Christmas story called, “The Man who missed Christmas”. It was a story about a man named George Mason who accidently locked himself in a vault before leaving his bank on the day before Christmas vacation. He thought that surely someone would miss him during the holiday season and come and discover him, but no one did. As he was locked in during the Christmas vacation, he began to think about all the opportunities he had had during that holiday season, such as visiting family and playing the piano for a Christmas gathering, but had decided not to do them because he had been too busy. Finally, the day after Christmas, his clerk came and unlocked the vault, yet did not notice George. He realized that he had vanished from society
By BeTh dulaney
for the Christmas holiday and no one seemed to notice he had been missing. He learned that he had been selfish at Christmas and the next year, enjoyed all the opportunities he had passed up last Christmas. George taped a small note on the inside of the vault as a reminder to himself that read: “To love people, that is the purpose of life. To love people, that is the secret of happiness.” Sally Bullens was the honorary candle lighter for the evening. Bullens was awarded the 2009 Coshoctonian Award and is a trustee of the Coshocton Foundation. She is also an advisor of the COTC Board, a member of the Clary Gardens Board and the Ohio Heritage Director’s Board. She is a member of the Triosis Club, Junior Women’s Club, and the Red Hot Mamas. After the candle lighting, the River View Certified Golden Choir sang, “Angels We have Heard on High” and “We Wish you a Merry Christmas”. Rev. Millspaugh gave the benediction. The event was sponsored by the Roscoe Village Business Association. Candles were provided by COTC and members of the Canal Lewisville Royalty distributed candles. Boy Scouts helped serve cookies and cider. The Blue Spruce tree was donated by Habitat for Humanity.

Sarah Jane lindsey: 30 years of leading our 4-h Programs For Sarah Jane Lindsey and her family, 4-H has literally been their life. For over 30 years, Lindsey has been the Extension Educator in the area of 4-H Youth Development at the Coshocton County OSU-Ext. Office, and in 2006, she became the director of that office. She has worked with hundreds of 4-H advisors and thousands of 4-Hers over the past three decades. “It certainly doesn’t seem like it’s been 30 years,” she said. “I haven’t liked all the paperwork, but I have always enjoyed the 4-H members and all the activities. I have many fond memories. I know I have worked with members as kids, then with them as they became parents and advisors, and now with their children.” Lindsey has been planning her retirement for over a year. “I could have retired last year with 30 years in,” she said. “But, I knew I wanted to get through all the activities this summer and then the fair, and also help with the levy before I retired.” She is not certain at this time who is coming in as a replacement for her when she retires at the end of this month. “I assume that our regional supervisor, Jack Kerrigan, will act as interim until someone is appointed,” she said. She says her retirement is bittersweet for her. Lindsey is a new grandmother, and so her retirement days will be far from empty. “I was honored when my daughter, Courtney, asked me to watch my grandson, Braden, when she returned to work as a pharmacist at CVS,” she said, “but I wish I could have left the office in a better funding situation. We have an outstanding office staff and have always been very conscientious and frugal in our spending, but the funding source is not certain at this time for the Coshocton Co. OSU-Ext. Therefore, we have been unable to plan ahead much for 2010 4-H and other extension office programs.” Lindsey says she will really miss her office family. “We spend more time together than we do with our own families,” she added. “Of course, my own family lived 4-H. When I was a kid in 4-H, I always showed cattle and sheep.
By Jan MyerS
lindSey My husband, Rod, grew up showing hogs in 4-H. Our kids, Courtney, Emily and Mark were all very active in the program. They all showed hogs and took a number of other projects in 4-H. They were all Junior Leaders, Junior Fair Board members, 4-H Camp counselors, State 4-H ambassadors, and all attended the National 4-H Congress.” Lindsey says that even though her children are all grown, they still come back to the county fair and to 4-H camp to visit and volunteer. “They also help out with the 4-H skillathons,” she said. Lindsey has seen a number of changes to the 4-H program in 30 years such as the addition of the skillathons that were started over ten years ago. Coshocton County also has several special programs that were started here and have been such a success that other counties have begun to adopt them. “One example is our 4-H public speaking incentive program,” said Lindsey. “Ellen Lee started that several years ago here and Vickie Davis runs that now. I have seen our members really excel in their public speaking due to that program.” Another program that was started in recent years was the Clover Buds for 4-Hers ages 5-8. “Janell Richard is the Cloverbud volunteer representative,” said Lindsey. “We also started
a Cloverbud day camp which has been very successful.” Another 4-H program that Coshocton is known for throughout the state is the shooting sports program. “We are fortunate to have strong volunteer leadership in this area as well,” Lindsey said. “Chuck Wiseman is the coordinator and Debbie Endsley and Dean Freund also work with that program. They are both nationally certified in living history and shooting sports. “Coshocton County is very fortunate to have competent adult volunteer staff in all aspects of our program. Our county is known statewide for our committed volunteers who are so caring and giving of their time.” One of Lindsey’s favorite parts of her job has been 4-H camp. “Our 4-H camping program has always been a strong component,” she said. “I have a philosophy about homesickness - it’s a natural thing that everyone goes through and we really help the campers out with that. I have enjoyed watching the campers grow each year in their confidence and skill levels. I actually get to see this through all our 4-H programs such as judging and skillathons. 4-H is unique in that you have older members working with and helping out the younger ones which helps with developing confidence and skills.” According to Lindsey, many of the 4-H volunteers in Coshocton’s program were 4-H members as youth which is a tribute to the program itself. “Our goal for 4-Hers is for them to develop into good adult citizens, employees, family members and committee members,” she said. “4-H teaches many life skills that help these members throughout their lives. We have teachers tell us they know which of their students are involved in 4-H since they have more confidence and are able to participate more effectively in projects such as science fairs. The 4-H program is definitely worth continuing in Coshocton County no matter where the funds come from.” Lindsey says that many of the 4-Hers will probably remember her as the ‘lady who took ARTICLE CONTINUED ON PAGE 21

People often wonder where the custom of having a tree in the home during Christmas time comes from. We will probably never know for sure. But there are several historical clues that point out where this custom came from. Thousands or years ago, there were people who believed that evergreen trees were magical. Even in winter, when all the other trees and greenery were brown and bare, the evergreen stayed strong and green. People saw the evergreen as a symbol of life and as a sure sign that sunshine and spring would soon return. Candles, or the electric lights we use to decorate our trees today, are also an ancient symbol. They represent the light of spring triumphing over the darkness of winter. In ancient Rome, people decorated their homes and their temples with greenery during a special December feast. It was a happy time. No battles could be fought, the schools were closed, and people everywhere joined in the carnivallike atmosphere and gave each other presents. So when did the Christmas tree go indoors? Legend has it that the tradition was begun by Martin Luther in Germany. He was a monk and church reformer who lived from 1483 to 1546. According to the legend, Luther was returning home one wintry night when he saw the stars twinkling in the sky through the tree branches. Luther was amazed by the sight, and when he arrived home, he was eager to tell his family about it. To help them understand, he went to the woods and cut down a small fir tree. Luther brought it indoors and decorated it with candles, which represented the stars he had seen. The custom spread in Germany, and from there all over the world. In England, the Christmas tree first appeared when Queen Victoria married Prince Albert, who was German. In 1841, Albert set up a Christmas tree at Windsor Castle near London to remind him of his homeland. The Christmas tree custom was brought to the United States by people from England as well as by many German immigrants who came in the 1800’s. Whatever its origin, the Christmas tree is a beautiful symbol for everyone who celebrates Christmas. The night of the Saviour’s birth, all the living creatures, both flora and fauna, came to Bethlehem with gifts. The olive tree brought its fruit and the palm its dates. But the little fir tree had no gift and was so tired it couldn’t resist when the big trees pushed it into the background and hid it from view. But then a nearby angel took pity and commanded a cluster of stars to

BEFORE YOU RENEW YOUR CD...
Today’s Good Samaritan I don’t know if anyone else thinks that there are any good Samaritans around today like the one told in the Bible. One day crossing a busy street, I was going up an alley. I stopped when I heard something dropped to the ground off of my wheelchair. I turned around and saw that it was my old torn lunch box. I looked around to see if there was anyone that I could ask to pick it up! I thought about pushing it to the side of the alley so that it wouldn’t get run over by a vehicle. To push it to the side, I would have had to go out into the street where oncoming traffic was coming towards me. While sitting there debating on what I should do, I looked up at the traffic passing by when I noticed an old blue truck. The driver of the truck stopped, pulled up and turned into an alley. A young man got out of the truck, ran across to where I was, picked up my old lunch box and hung it on the back of my wheelchair. I began to thank him. He was nice, very courteous and
SuBMiTTed To The Beacon By dee ToBiaS
was such a gentleman to me. After thanking him again, he replied, “You’re welcome ma’am,” and drove off. He reminded me of the good Samaritan that the Bible describes. The story of the good Samaritan is found in Luke 10:30 thru 10:38 in the Holy Bible. To sum up the story, there was a man robbed, beaten and left for dead. Two other men who saw the condition of the man that was robbed, but they passed him by. There was a third man the good Samaritan who bandaged the man’s wounds, cared for him and paid for additional cared for him before continuing on his journey. In today’s world, a good Samaritan seldom exist! There are so many people who are in need of a little help from someone. Very few people offer their help and they pass them by, like they do not even exist. So, I would like to say thank you for being my good Samaritan to the young man in the blue truck who stopped and offered me a helping hand, if you would happen to read this.

recycling makes good sense

recyclinG More Than MaTerialS Two employees from Gemini Corpora-
community
tion are shown working on the stage at the former Park hotel site in downtown Coshocton. The two were enduring cold temperatures on Thursday, dec. 17 to build the structure. The materials being used in the construction came from the Prairie Chapel Church. Pictured are Jeff ahonen and Clay Rohrer of Gemini Corporation. anne Cornell of the Pomerene Center for the arts remarked, “There is currently an emphasis in green technologies to construct modularly in a way that all of the components can be reused”. The stage is being constructed in a way that the materials can be used again in another location if that becomes necessary. Cornell added, “We are also recycling stories. This new gathering place is built on sad stories of inattention and miscarried intentions. So instead of a blighted lot and a pile of useless materials we have a new and more hopeful story about going forward”.

the local EMS rushed to the scene. Brad used his shoelace to tie off the umbilical cord. Both mother and baby – Trace Alan Casey, 7 pounds, 1 ounce and 19 and a half inches long – went home on Saturday and are doing fine according to Grandpa Craig Casey. Five year old sister Ella let the EMS in and showed them where mother, father and newborn Trace were. WTNS radio has played the 911 tape and the story aired on channel 4 out of Columbus on Sunday. This is truly a heartwarming story for the holidays and certainly a Christmas that will not be forgotten in the Casey household!

This is truly a Christmas miracle story – and what’s even better – it’s local. Brad and Sammie Jean Casey were scheduled to have a C section this coming week but the baby had different plans! According to our sources, Sammie was having some minor contractions and called the doctor’s office, who informed her not to go to the hospital until the contractions were five minutes apart. Normal procedure as anyone that has been involved in having a baby knows. Well, Sammie decided to take a shower and lo and behold, the next thing that happens is that father Brad is delivering the baby in the bathroom. Sheriff’s office dispatcher Denise Huston helped talk father Brad through the delivery while

dollars for Scholars has annual meeting The annual meeting of the Citizens’ Scholarship Foundation of Coshocton County (Dollars For Scholars) was Wednesday, Dec. 9 at Ohio Heritage Bank.

B o a r d members were presented with the president’s annual report for 2009. Due to the generosity of the community, the 2009 Dollars For Scholars was again an impressive success.

has assisted over 2,650 students seeking to continue their education. The Endowment fund is a large contributor to this success. The fund was established in 1980 and provides a way to memorialize friends or relatives. Unfortunately, this fund is beginning to need additional monies to be able to continue to serve the youth of Coshocton County as generously. Anyone wanting more information on establishing such a memorial through the Endowment Fund should contact Dick Baker or Moe Conrad at Ohio Heritage Bank. In addition, yearly sponsors are very much needed. To be a yearly sponsor and have an award given in your name requires a $250 contribution for an individual or a $350 contribution from a business. These contributors can stipulate some requirements of a qualified applicant such as a student in a particular school, a specified youth group such as 4-H, sports affiliation, Boy Scouts,
Girl Scouts, FFA, Student Council to name a few examples. Sponsors are very much needed as contributions are down in these complex economical times. Dollars For Scholars would like to see more past recipients or their parents give back to the local Chapter upon completion of their studies as a way of saying thank you. If you or your service organization would like to be part of this very important element of the education process for the youth of Coshocton County please contact Dick Baker or Moe Conrad at Ohio Heritage Bank. Sponsors are invited to personally present their award at the annual Awards Ceremony. With the help of the community, the Dollars For Scholars is looking forward to another great year of serving our youth in 2010. Students wanting more information on applying for a scholarship should contact their school guidance counselor for an application.

Candy canes are favorites of Christmas decorations amongst kids. These red and white J-shaped candies are tasty too. It is said that their origin lies in an event in Cologne Cathedra about two hundred thirty years ago. It was said that one evening, the children were being very loud and noisy at the Church and were not paying attention to the choirmaster. In his efforts to keep them quiet and still for Nativity ceremony, he gave them a long, white, sugar candy stick. Since, giving out chocolates and candies at church was otherwise considered sacrilegious; he bent these sticks on one end to make them look like shepherds’ cane who went to worship the Christ on the day he was born and thus, attached a religious significance to them. In 1847, a German-Swedish immigrant in Wooster, Ohio liked candy canes so much that he put them on his Christmas tree as decorations. The idea soon caught up and became quite a fashion. By 1900, candy canes started coming in red stripes and peppermint flavoring and it was said that the white color was symbolic Christ’s purity while the red symbolized the wounds he suffered. The peppermint flavoring was said to represent the hyssop herb described in Bible for purification. Some other interpret that the ‘J’ shaped candy cane is not a cane but the letter ‘J’ that stands for Jesus. However, there are no evidences supporting these views. Around 1920, Bob McCormack from Georgia started massproducing candy canes that came to be known as Bob’s Candies. Since then, the firm has remained the most popular candy-cane manufacturer company in the world.

The Coshocton Elks Lodge 376 was a literal bustle of activity on Saturday morning, Dec. 19 as the local Elks continued their tradition of “Breakfast with Santa”. Mike Wilson, spokesman for the event said, “The Elks is about country and family. It’s important for families to get together and join in family oriented events. We have had this event for as long as I’ve been a member . . . the purpose is to celebrate Christmas. We believe that Christmas is about the birth of Christ – and we are glad to provide this event because it’s special for our kids and grand-kids.
