Rick Merrell retires from Annin
BY JOSIE SELLERS
RETIREMENT PARTY Rick Merrell was treated to a retirement surprise and party on Dec. 19 by the employees at Annin Flagmakers. For more photos, visit www.coshoctonbeacontoday.com. BEACON PHOTO BY JOSIE SELLERS
“They are good people,” said Merrell, who recently retired as director of operations. “They’ve been a treat to be around. It’s been nice to get up in the morning and want to come to work.” The folks at Annin also know how to have fun. They sent Merrell off in style with balloons delivered by an entertainer, a walk down memory lane that included numerous pictures of him and lunch with plenty of yummy looking desserts. COSHOCTON – Rick Merrell will greatly miss The day’s festivities were mainly the people he’s worked with at Annin Flagmakers organized by Bobbi Parks, Cheryl Bartholow and over the last 13 years. Jackie Darr. “We also decorated his yard with black flags,” Parks said. Dave Rogers, who has been with the Shelby Theatres 460 Downtowner Plaza • Coshocton • 622-6855 company for almost 11 years, will be stepping into Merrell’s shoes. Call for Show Times! 622-3456 (film) Now Playing: “The Hobbit” (PG-13) “He’s given us a lot of guidance about the “Night at the Museum” (PG) right way to do our jobs,” Rogers said. “I’m TUESDAY IS “MATINEE ALL DAY!” going to miss sitting down with him one on one
and discussing work or life outside the plant.” Merrell, however, did leave Rogers with a reminder of how he liked to run things. “I gave him a plaque that I had in my office about General Schwarzkopf’s rule 13 and 14,” Merrell said. “Rule 13 is to take charge and rule 14 is to do what’s right. I tried to run my businesses that way and I hope Dave tries to do the same.” Now that he’s retired, Merrell says he plans to wait on his wife to soon do the same and then hopefully they will get to spend some time down south in Mississippi on the Gulf Coast. “We are just waiting on the Lord and to see what opportunities he opens up for us,” he said.

Thank You The children of Pearl (Mrs. Edward) Hiltner would like to express our deepest thanks and appreciation to the entire staff of Autumn Extended Care facility and the Ohio Health Care Services hospice workers in Coshocton. The nursing care received by our Mother was provided with professional skill, compassion, respect, gentleness and affection. She clearly enjoyed the frequent, friendly and light-hearted interactions from all levels of staff. Communication by the nursing staff kept us informed when we could not be with her. It was such a comfort to all of us to know that Mother was in skilled and caring hands. When it became necessary to provide Mother with hospice care, she and all of us were blessed by the frequent and timely presence of the hospice workers whose calming presence, compassion, knowledge and skill were of immense comfort to us during the final days and hours. What became clear to us was that the Autumn staff and the hospice workers were providing care not only to our Mother, but were administering to our emotional needs as well. What more could anyone want for a loved one. We thank each and every person who had a role in the care of our Mother. Coshocton is so fortunate to have Autumn Extended Care and the hospice care of Ohio Health Services.
With gratitude from Pearl’s children, Fay, Pat, Melanie and Ed, Jr.

City Council working on sheriff contract, moving forward with tax ordinance
BY JOSIE SELLERS COSHOCTON – The City of Coshocton is a step closer to finalizing its contract with the Coshocton County Sheriff’s Office. Legislation 46-14, an ordinance authorizing the mayor or service director to enter into a contract with the Coshocton County Sheriff for law enforcement protection for the city of Coshocton, was given a first and second reading at council’s Dec. 15 meeting. “We aren’t quite ready to put it on paper yet, but at our special meeting on Dec. 22 we will have something in writing,” said Mayor Steve Mercer. That special meeting will be held at 7 p.m. Monday, Dec. 22, in council chambers. During the meeting Ordinance 40-14 also received a third reading and passed, but not without some opposition. 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. “I’ve been laboring with this since its inception,” said Councilman Brad Fuller. “I’ve heard a lot of negative feedback and no positive from the people in the community it will affect. I realize there needs to be a fair collection of taxes from all, but my biggest problem is that it’s retroactive (to 2014 taxes). Many people (who work out of town) aren’t prepared for it and it will be a financial burden. I motion we move forward without making it retroactive.” After Fuller shared his concerns, City Auditor Sherry Kirkpatrick informed council that citizens can set up a payment plan with the city to pay their taxes. “We will work with people,” she said. Council President Cliff Biggers then asked for yes or no votes for Fuller’s motion to amend Ordinance 40-14. The motion failed to carry and the ordinance was then put to vote. It passed with only one council member voting no and one abstaining. The meeting also included another salute to a hometown hero. This week’s honoree was Sergeant Terry J. Foster who is currently stationed at Fort Campbell in Kentucky and is a motor transport operator. He has been in the service for four years and has spent a total of 18 months in Afghanistan. Fuller presented him with a certificate in front of council and his parents, wife, and two children. “I thank everyone for your support,” Foster said. “I really appreciate it a lot.” JOSIE@COSHOCTONCOUNTYBEACON.COM

Twenty-two Ohio East team members spread the word about shoeboxes to churches, the general public, businesses and community groups.

She was also grateful for all the seasonal volunteers who worked hard throughout collection week to receive, pack and load cartons of shoeboxes on trucks to deliver them to Boone, North Carolina, to be processed and prepared for their journey to more than 100 countries around the world. “Everyone is important in this endeavor to bring joy to a child in need,” said Troyer.

DECEMBER 30TH, 1964 With the increased interest among the local teenagers in the healthcare field, a small model community hospital was constructed in the lobby of the Coshocton County Memorial Hospital. Each month, a different set of slides was placed behind the viewing windows in the model showing many types of hospital people at work. Brochures were available with addresses for those interested to write for more information. All interested county residents were encouraged to view the new model, which was also available for schools and clubs by appointment. It was reported that there were many shortages in the medical field, so this was a great career opportunity.

DECEMBER 26TH, 1974 Ritchie Babcock, Ridgewood’s All-Ohio Guard candidate, scored 40 points in the game Friday night in the Generals 72-58 victory over Indian Valley, eclipsing a record of 37 that he set the previous year. Babcock netted 14 field goals in 22 attempts and was 12 of 13 from the foul line. With his 40 points, he now had 986 points and could be the first Coshocton County cager to score 1,000 points in a single season since 1958 when Loren Wilcox did so. Babcock’s father, Richard, tallied more than 1,000 points in his three-year career from 1953 - 1956 including a one-game high of 44 points in a district tournament game, which was broken in the 1960s.

DECEMBER 24TH, 1984 Christmas time was Margaret Skelton’s opportunity to display the many ornaments she had collected over the years. But none were as precious to her as her assortment of angels. Sixty-seven angelic ornaments filled her Christmas tree each year and ranged from glass figurines to ceramic figures to tiny wooden ones. She also showcased an angel band and angels of the world showing angels of all different races and cultures. Skelton focused all her Christmas decorations around the birth of Christ, which she said was the reason for the season. Each angel ornament had a memory as well of the person who gave it to her. All information was obtained from microfilm of the Coshocton Tribune at the Coshocton County Library.

DECEMBER 24TH, 1954 Jacob Schwindt might have been 79 years old, but that didn’t mean he sat around the house all day. Schwindt was an advocate for physical activity and could be seen most mornings riding his bike in West Lafayette. He often stopped at the West Lafayette General Store for a chat with the boys. If the boys were too busy, Schwindt would pitch in and help, never expecting any sort of payment for his work. That Christmas, Schwindt was surprised with a gift from the boys at the general store, a shiny red three-speed bicycle that the boys gave him as a token of their appreciation.

Shooting sports classes announced
CONTRIBUTED TO THE BEACON COSHOCTON - 4-H Shooting Sports classes will begin in January. Classes are taught by 4-H volunteers certified to teach their respective discipline. Classes beginning in January are beginning air rifle, position shooting air rifle, air pistol, and archery one. Beginning air rifle teaches the basic marksmanship skills that can be applied to many other shooting disciplines. The importance of proper sight picture, trigger control, and breath control to shooting accurately are covered. All students will shoot off of a rest to increase the safety of the activity and assist them in shooting consistently, accurately, and develop a group of shots on the target. Position air rifle class expands on the basic marksmanship skills taught in the beginning air rifle class. Standing, sitting, kneeling, and prone positions are taught instead of shooting off a rest. These positions are used in precision air rifle, small bore rifle, and high power rifle competition. Proper use of the rifle sling while in a solid position and other shooting equipment are explained and used. The air pistol class builds on and continues with the basic marksmanship skills taught in the beginning air rifle class. The safety rules are reviewed and explained. The students will experience more shooting in this class due to their previous experience. CO2 pistols are used, shooting off of a rest. Archery one class teaches the basic form, stances, and safety. This class gives the shooter a chance to learn the basics of archery, while getting a strong foundation in safety and shooting fundamentals. Equipment is provided for any class a youth signs up for, but they are highly recommended to bring their own safety glasses. See more details on class dates/times and locations at go.osu.edu/ shoot or by viewing the website Coshocton.osu. edu. Classes fill up quickly so reserve your space now by calling the OSU Extension Office at 6222265.

COSHOCTON - The Coshocton Junior High Band, Coshocton High School concert band, Jazz Reservation, Coshocton City Schools Elementary Choir, Chamber Singers, Men’s Ensemble and Festival Choir presented various well known selections including the iconic “Let It Snow,” “Here Comes Santa Claus,” “Boogie Woogie Santa Claus,” “Silver Bells,” and others during the “Swinging Into Christmas 1942” Christmas concert presented on Tuesday evening, Dec. 16 in the high school auditorium. Adding to the authenticity of the presentation was snow falling on the singers – that combined with the 1940s era costumes made it feel like a true old fashioned Christmas. The year 1942 was the year that Irving Berlin introduced “White Christmas” a song that quickly became a wartime favorite. According to the Guinness World Records, the version sung by Bing Crosby is the best-selling single of all time with sales in excess of 50 million copies worldwide. Artistic directors for the program were: Michael Blowers, Richard Early, Shannon Folkert, Barry Hardesty and Aaron Mencer. The Coshocton Schools choirs plan to take a trip to South Carolina’s Patriot Point this spring to perform on a World War II era ship. The trip is called The Patriotic Salute to the Greatest Generation and money is needed to fund the trip. For $10 you can sponsor an In Honor Of or an In Memory Of name on a board that will travel with
the choir. For more information you can contact Teresa Ott at the school. Anna Richcreek, who sang “All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth,” said, “It was really fun. I was a little bit nervous but I kind of got over it. I have done it a lot with the Footlight Players.” Anna is the 11-year-old daughter of Jeff and Angela Richcreek and is a sixth grader at Sacred Heart Elementary. “When I grow up I want to be a professional ballerina. That’s my passion but I also want to act and sing. I don’t want to drop down on something; I want to keep it up.” “I enjoyed being in the program. I go to a different school, I go to Sacred Heart and so I wasn’t part of Coshocton Elementary but meeting new friends and being with different types of people really helped me gain a new life skill I think. I think it helped loosen my nerves.” Then we had to talk about the “elf” pajamas that Anna wore. “My mom got these for me. Last year she got a pair like this and that was fun. For my sister she got a Santa one. For Christmas we have cousins coming over from California and Virginia and we thought they would really like it because they are young. We like them a lot so this year we thought we would get another pair just in a bigger size so we could use them for this Christmas program and also wearing them as pajamas.” MARK@COSHOCTONCOUNTYBEACON.COM

them,” she said. “If someone needs to have a car seat checked we can also arrange that. We have a very particular method we use and a check list to follow to guarantee we hit all the spots and get them everything they need.” Donations from those who attend the classes are appreciated, but not required. “If you do give a donation it goes back into the program,” Maag said. “Sometimes we have to buy special car seats or get seats for demonstrations.” The Ohio Buckles Buckeyes program is in all 88 counties and car seats that are used for it are provided by the Ohio Department of Health. “They give about 60 car seats per county every year and currently are using the Evenflo SureRide Titan 65 convertible car seat and Evenflo amp backless booster,” Maag said. “Evenflo happened to be the company that won the bid for the state of Ohio.” Maag works in Tuscarawas County and would like to find a local agency to coordinate the
Ohio Buckles Buckeyes program for Coshocton County. Training for the agency car seat coordinator would be given by Maag and would consist of learning the distribution methods for the car seats. The agency would also be required to have a trained car seat technician on staff (this should be the same person as the coordinator). This training is offered at various times throughout the state and has a minimum cost of $85 for four days of training. Upon completion of this training, the student would be a nationally certified car seat technician, and eligible for recertification every two years. Support and yearly (or more) site visits and constant communications would be maintained with the county coordinator, enabling them to stay updated on the most recent information in car seats. To learn more, contact Maag at 330-343-5555 ext. 122 or at patty. maag@odh.ohio.gov. JOSIE@COSHOCTONCOUNTYBEACON.COM
Celebrate responsibly this holiday season
BY BEACON STAFF
Throwing a party this holiday season? Why not try making one of these non-alcoholic drinks available to your guests, especially the designated drivers. Both were winners at the Coshocton County Safe Communities Coalition’s Holiday Happy Hour, which challenged teams to make fun and festive non-alcoholic drinks.
COSHOCTON – No one thinks their holiday celebration will end in tragedy, but unfortunately December is one of the most notorious months for arrests, accidents and deaths involving alcohol because of an increase in the number of parties, social gatherings and other holiday celebrations. According to Lt. Matt Boyd from the Ohio State Highway Patrol Zanesville Post, in 2013 there were two crashes with two people killed in Coshocton County and in 2014 there have been seven crashes with seven people killed. There were no impairments in the 2013 crashes, but one of the seven killed this year involved an

Squeeze chocolate and caramel syrup in, as much as you like. Blend until smooth. Drizzle chocolate and caramel syrup on the inside of your glass, then pour the mixture in. Top with whipped cream, a drizzle of chocolate and caramel syrup. impaired driver. The Coshocton County Safe Communities Coalition’s hope for the season is that everyone celebrates responsibly by planning ahead of time how they will get home safely if they drink. The group’s advice to the public is to make sure a designated driver is selected before the celebrations begin. “Always have a plan in place to get home safely - call a cab or a sober family member or friend to pick you up,” said Christy Mosier, Safe Communities Coordinator. She provided information for the following
The Beacon is on
local cab companies to help make that easier. If you don’t have a designated driver call one of these companies to help you get home safely: Bob’s Taxi, 654 Orange St., 202-0171, available 24 hours; Shelly’s Taxi, 1715 S. Lawn Ave., 622-4203, 622-0000 or 202-2960, available 24 hours; Wright Away Taxi, 610-3915. “We want people to have responsible fun so they can celebrate many more happy occasions in 2015,” Mosier said.

COSHOCTON – Could you use a new car seat for your precious cargo or are you worried that yours isn’t installed correctly? The Ohio Department of Health’s Ohio Buckles Buckeyes program can help WIC income eligible parents or guardians with both of these dilemmas. “The Ohio Buckles Buckeyes program is essential a program to help individuals who need help getting a car seat and getting them information about them,” said Patty Maag, who is a regional coordinator for the program and has 12 counties under her including Coshocton. “Our main purpose is education.” The class is an hour to an hour and a half long and is offered once a month at the Red Cross office on Fourth Street. Maag already has her 2015 schedule filled out and the first class of the year will be offered at 11 a.m. Wednesday, Jan. 28. Those interested in attending the course must sign up by calling Maag at 800-860-8302. “Parents need to call in advance so if they have any kind of special needs, we can address

How to deal with holiday stress
some time each day for them. Consider setting a cutoff date; after that date, things that haven’t gotten done will be deferred until next year. Keep It Simple: A holiday feast doesn’t have to be elaborate to be wonderful. Often traditional fare is appreciated most, with guests providing some of the dishes. When shopping, take advantage of gift-wrapping services. Try shopping at home from mail order catalogues. Let someone else compete for the “most fabulous holiday preparations” award. Stay in Budget: Do holiday preparations strain your budget? Learn to say no to expensive holiday ideas. Choose simple, thoughtful, or useful gifts over elaborate, expensive surprises. How can you enjoy the holidays if you are worried about paying your bills? Riding the Emotional Roller Coaster: The holidays are hard on our emotions. The holidays of our childhood take on a magical glow that is often impossible to recover in adulthood. While the radios and department stores are blaring
CONTRIBUTED TO THE BEACON messages of peace and joy, you are dreading the family gathering that always leads to someone not speaking to someone else. If family gatherings are stressful, avoid long visits, either in your house or away. Defer settling family arguments until some other time. Be willing to let go of old traditions if they no longer work for your family, and find new ones that do. Take Care of Yourself: Counter the holiday pressures by giving yourself some time for rest and renewal each day. Avoid overindulgence in holiday food, alcohol and caffeine. Think about what the holidays are actually celebrating and try to stay true to that spirit. Peace and joy can be more than just a department store come-on.

COSHOCTON - The Holidays is a time of festivity, parties, shopping, entertaining, religious observances, family gatherings, decorating, and stress. With all the extra demands we place on ourselves and expectations of the season, is it any wonder that most of us feel some stress during the holiday season? The source of holiday stress is simple: When it comes to time, money, social and family commitments, most people try to do too much. Here are some strategies for making your holidays a time of renewal. Set Priorities: People tend to overextend themselves during the holidays. It’s not necessary to attend every party and celebration that comes along. Decide what activities you and your family would most enjoy doing and focus on those. Learn to say “no” gently but firmly to social events that are over your limit. Plan Ahead: Nothing creates more holiday stress than last minute shopping and preparations. Take charge of your holidays in advance by making lists of things to do and setting aside

The 86 third graders and their grandparents also were welcome to come to the special day in their pajamas. Haylee Kinsey was surprised when both of her grandmothers, Becky Graham and Bonnie Kinsey, showed up in pajamas that matched the ones she was wearing. “She didn’t think we’d do it,” Graham said. “She thought we’d be too embarrassed.” Pictured from left are Graham, Haylee and Bonnie.

PLAY Senior Citizens were invited to a luncheon and a drama at Ridgewood High School on Thursday, Dec. 18. The play, directed by Jill Collins and Rebecca Wells, was first produced in New York in October of 1939. Entitled, “The Man Who Came to Dinner”, the comedy focuses on Sheridan Whiteside, played by Jacob Panteloukas, who is invited to Ernest Stanley’s, played by Samuel Scott, house for dinner. On his way in the front door, Whiteside slips on ice and spends the majority of the play in a wheelchair in the Stanley’s home where comedy ensues. Pictured here is Maggie Cutler, as played by Danika Brenneman, and Bert Jefferson, as played by Jared Norman. Cutler is Whiteside’s nurse and falls in love with newspaper reporter, Jefferson. The two plan to be married, but Whiteside has other plans and tries to break up the marriage. “The luncheon has been a tradition in the school district,” said Rebecca Wells, Student Council advisor. “The idea is that the community gives a lot of support to the school and we’re trying to give something back.” For lunch, the guests enjoyed chicken breast, mashed potatoes, stuffing, fruit, and cake. Members of the student council and also the STATS Club helped by preparing for the lunch. They also made Christmas ornaments and gingerbread houses for the centerpieces.

The support of area businesses who donated to service baskets that were raffled off at the fair was greatly appreciated. Jessie Tubbs also was a big help with coordinating the vendors and businesses who donated to the quarter auction. The Wacky Scotch Doubles Bowling Fun Afternoon also was a success because of help from the Coshocton Bowling Center, Clow Veteran Group, West Lafayette Extreme Achievers 4-H Club and the West Lafayette Queens Court. The Blue Star Mothers meet the second Monday of each month at the adult learning center of the Nazarene Church on Orange St.

LESSONS Maria Goodman, Draven Dupler and Lacee Garvin listen to a lesson on Christmas in France during Union Elementary School’s Holidays Around the World. In France Santa Claus goes by the name of Père Noël and he puts gifts in children’s shoes instead of stockings. BEACON PHOTO BY JOSIE SELLERS WARSAW – Did you know that people in India decorate banana trees instead of pine trees at Christmas time? This is just one of the many facts Carter Russell learned while preparing for Union Elementary School’s Holidays Around the World. Students in kindergarten through third grade spend Dec. 15-18, discovering how other countries celebrate Christmas and learning about alternatives to the holiday like Hanukkah and Kwanzaa. Some of the third graders also were selected to research specific countries and present what they learned to the younger students. “It’s a week of learning and fun,” said Sherri Lawrence, principal at
The Coshocton County Beacon will be closed Thurs., Dec. 25; Fri., Dec. 26.; Thurs. Jan. 1; and Fri., Jan. 2.
FRUIT CAKE A lot of students didn’t enjoy the fruit cake they got to try during the Holidays Around the World activities, but Jaiden Richards found it pretty yummy.

Russell and fellow third grader Skyler Cooper were part of presentations on India and China. They helped younger students find both countries on a map and answer questions in a packet of worksheets that they took with them from one station to the next. “I was really surprised by how long they celebrate Christmas in China,” Cooper said. “It’s Dec. 1 – Jan. 6.” She also enjoyed the different crafts they made. “I really liked making the Chinese lantern,” Cooper said. For second grader Peyton Bratton, China was the most interesting country, but the whole week was fun. “We learned about new things like how Santa is different in different countries,” he said. At some of their stops during the week of activities, the students also got to taste food. Terri Lowery brought in cookies to share during her presentation on Christmas in Germany and Denise Emig had the students try fruit cake. Many of the students weren’t fond of the fruit cake, but for the most part one group devoured what she served up to them. “It’s awesome,” said Jaiden Richards, who is in the first grade.

Shane Pyle selected District Governor of Rotary in 2017
CONTRIBUTED TO THE BEACON as district governor, going back to 1922 when George C Mitchell, the president of the PopeGosser China Company, served. I am proud that in 2017, Coshocton will become the center of the Rotary Universe as Rotarians from all around Central and Southeast Ohio will travel to Coshocton for our District Assembly, District Conference and many other events.” Pyle said his primary goal is to spread the word of Rotary to the 21st century generation. “When Rotary was first established in 1905, the members would gather in small rooms and offices to meet and discuss the needs of the community. That was the only way they could communicate as a group. But today, a single text or “tweet” can reach hundreds in a millisecond. How can we bridge that gap? That will be my focus, to energize the young men and women of this generation to participate in Rotary actively, in this day and age of Social Media.” Filter Sand & Gravel for Septic Systems A.D.S.

That is a lesson that should never be under-taught but sometimes it gets left behind. And we certainly want to place a high value on that service.” Principal Polen said that normally the school donates the canned food items to the Nellie Food Bank but with that being recently closed; they made the decision to donate the items to Pastor Mark Granger and the New Life Ministries food bank. “As of yesterday we had over 5,800 items donated. That’s almost double our goal. We also started a loose change drive to buy the perishable items; milks, breads and that sort of thing. The kids raised almost $300 for that. Then, our staff – for a $20 contribution which will go to Relay for Life, could wear jeans. We raised $500 to $600 for that.” MARK@COSHOCTONCOUNTYBEACON.COM

COSHOCTON - The United Way of Coshocton has currently reached 60 percent of their $380,000 goal for this campaign year of 2014-2015 which is $235,000 in donations and pledges. “We are so encouraged that the last four years we have been able to reach our goal amounts and are hoping the same for this year,” said Lyn Mizer, director. “We know that Coshocton is
filled with people who truly care about the quality of life and the health of the people living here. One of the beauties of giving to the United Way is that the money stays local and impacts our local friends and families. When there are so many great charities, how do you pick and choose which ones to support? When you give to the United Way, you don’t have to choose because it goes to 19 local agencies! And those local agencies last year served over 16,000 local residents.” The United Way has been extremely busy in the year 2014. They relocated their office to 402 Main Street to increase their visibility, they launched 2-1-1 which is the free phone number to call in order to be connected to the various services here in Coshocton, and most recently, they have been conducting some community conversations. The United Way hopes to identify common concerns expressed in the conversations with the intention of putting a plan in place that can move Coshocton forward in becoming a healthier place to live. Although the number of conversations
CONTRIBUTED TO THE BEACON has yet to be determined, the last of them will be open to the public in order to reach those who want to express their thoughts. The United Way of Coshocton endeavors to take a broad-based view of the needs of the entire community. When a community comes together, problems can be addressed and solutions can be found. If you would like to give to the United Way, send your check to P.O. Box 84, Coshocton, Ohio 43812. If you would be interested in finding out how to volunteer or be a part of the Community Conversations, call Lyn Mizer at 622-4567.

SURPRISE The Coshocton Christian School had a surprise going away party Dec. 16, for high school teacher Tara Parson. Pictured in front is Tara and in back, from left, are her parents Dan and Wendy and Principal Stan Zurowski. For more photos, visit www. coshoctonbeacontoday.com. BEACON PHOTO BY JOSIE SELLERS of the people they interviewed was Principal Stan Zurowski. “She knows her subjects well and has a way of communicating with her students that gets them excited and makes them want to learn more,” he said. “She also helps them seek God’s will for their lives.” Many others interviewed in the video also talked about her dedication to her job and in following the Lord. When the video ended, a teacher who Parson was particularly close with shared a few words about her. “You all hit the nail on the head,” said Cindy Kraft. “She’s caring, funny, stylish and loves the Lord with all her heart and I think that is evident to the students. She’s given her whole heart to this job.” She also had a personal message for Parson. “God has given you a great ability,” Kraft said. “Never shy away from using it. I will miss
BY JOSIE SELLERS you dearly.” Zurowski presented Parson with a gift from the school and then gave Pastor Jason Diaz the opportunity to speak. “You’ve been a fantastic addition to this school and will be missed,” he said. “You are irreplaceable. We may be able to fill your position, but we will never replace you and the impact you’ve had on people’s lives here.” Diaz and Zurowski also said they will all pray for her as she begins the next phase of her life at Sherrodsville Wesleyan Church, where she will serve as the worship director for children and youth. “I was totally surprised today,” Parson said. “I really appreciate it. The students did a great job with the video. It was amazing. I’m going to miss the kids the most.” Zurowski is currently in the process of trying to find someone to fill in for Parson. He’s working with several college placement offices and is coordinating with retired teachers. Any retired teacher interested in filling the position for the rest of the year is welcome to contact the school at 622-5052. “My advice to the new teacher would be to keep the kids challenged and push them to be their best and not please anyone but God,” Parson said.

The ceremony originated in the 1860s at London’s Nightingale School of Nursing. Florence Nightingale, who had recently been awarded the Red Cross of St. George for her selfless service to the injured and dying in the Crimean War, chose to extend this honor to outstanding nursing graduates by presenting each of them with a medal for excellence.
