GIVING SPIRIT Tom Matthews, Ann Laughlin and Kassidy Davis get ready to serve a full Christmas dinner with all the trimmings at New Beginnings Ministries in Warsaw. The church has served a free Christmas Eve dinner to the public for the past 14 years. “This was my vision, but I couldn’t do it without many hands,” said Connie Dunfee, who is the wife of Pastor Bill Dunfee. Close to 50 people played a role in helping to prepare, serve and deliver a total of roughly 300 meals. “This is a way for us to reach out to people and show them the love of Christ,” Connie said.

to place an income or real estate tax levy on the ballot in May and if it fails again in November 2015 in order to raise revenue for safety services purposes. Negotiations for a new agreement provided the levy passes shall commence after six months with the objective of negotiating a five year contract to provide stability to the sheriff and city. If the levy fails, negotiations for a new agreement shall commence in November 2015. If a five year contract can be negotiated the parties shall seek a phased in return to full staffing.

“I’m an optimist about the levy, but we are going to need all boots on ground to make it happen,” Council President Cliff Biggers said.

“I’d rather go once and not have to come back with the levy.”

Since the contract was not finalized, council could have tabled the issue and held another special meeting before the end of the year, but they decided to vote on it and unanimously passed the ordinance.

“We are in total support of you and feel working with the sheriff’s office is the most efficient way to provide law enforcement for the City of Coshocton,” said the Mayor. “The tough part for us is figuring out how to fund it. Our negotiations have nothing to do with what we think of the job you are doing, only how we can make it all work.”

City Council also was pleased to have one of its hometown hero honorees present at the meeting.

BY JOSIE SELLERS COSHOCTON – Coshocton City Council gathered Dec. 22 for a special meeting to give a final reading to ordinance 46-14, which authorize the mayor or service director to enter into a contract with the Coshocton County Sheriff for law enforcement protection for the city.

Before council was given an opportunity to vote on the ordinance Mayor Steve Mercer informed them that what they had was not the final copy of the contract. There were still a few minor details to be ironed out between the city and county, but City Law Director Bob Skelton was present and went over the changes with council.

Currently the sheriff’s office has one detective, three road deputies per shift (there are four shifts), one support staff and four dispatchers (one per shift) dedicated to the city.

“That will remain the same for the first six months of the contract, but could be reduced for the second six months,” Skelton said.

The contract between the city and the sheriff’s department begins Jan. 1, 2015, and ends Dec. 31, 2015, and is for $719,020.44 or $119,836.74 per month for the period of Jan. 1, 2015 to June 30, 2015. The contract fee for the period beginning July 1, 2015 and ending Dec. 31, 2015 will be $679,474.38 or $113,245.73 per month. As part of the contract, the city also agrees

Seventy-seven thousand dollars was projected for the year and the county came in at $72,000.

Lafayette. Habitat owns lots in the city limits and in other areas of the county, so the new home could be built elsewhere if a suitable family is found outside of West Lafayette. That lot could be saved for another year.

Habitat’s qualified families are getting harder to find. Habitat markets online, on the radio, and through signage to find their families, but the main problem is the family’s debt is too high.

Another concern for Habitat is that their first home built in the county is being returned to Habitat due to the death of the owner. This home is in major need of repair. One aspect of the CHIP grant goes for home repairs, but the $20,000 grant they currently have is strictly for construction and cannot be used for repairs.

For more information on how to be a partner family, call the Habitat office at 623-2764 or visit http://habitatcoshocton.org/images/stories/ preapp%20flyermarch2012.pdf The commissioners also met with Ron Davis, mayor of Warsaw, and Cleek to discuss the CDBG grant funding. The $300,000 grant is paid in full and is for the neighborhood revitalization project. The county is committing additional funds for a $302,800 total.

The grant will cover the parks and recreation projects with $132,500 of the grant, fire protection facilities with $80,000, sewer facilities improvements with $21,800, street facility improvements with $35,700, and sidewalk improvements with $32,800.

All work is scheduled for completion in August 2016 but the goal is to have it done by the end of 2015. Grant dollars will go toward construction and engineering. The engineer is to be hired by the county commissioners and the village of Warsaw is to approve plans and sign off on the drawings. The goal is to have an

COSHOCTON – The Coshocton County Commissioners met Monday, Dec. 22 to open Scrap Steel bids with no bids received. The commissioners closed the acceptance of bids at 9:01 a.m. Fred Wachtel, county engineer, was present and announced that the Ohio Department of Transportation will no longer fund the signs where a county or township road intersect with a state route.

Lt. Jim Crawford met with Christine Sycks, county auditor, and Jinni Bowman to discuss concerns on collecting funds for the OCJS grant, which is used for traffic blitzes and DUI blitzes. The grant was originally for $27,000, but because it is a reimbursed grant, only the amount spent is the amount given. The amount spent was $14,732.59. The advances of $2,500 and $7,000 are to be paid with an extension allowed on the $2,500 and a forgiveness of $96.55.

The commissioners also met with John Cleek, CDC of Ohio, and members of the Habitat for Humanity board to discuss the CHIP grant funding. In April 2014, an agreement was signed for a $20,000 grant for building a home in West Lafayette. The problem Habitat currently faces is that they are having a hard time finding a partner family to move into the house. Qualifications for Habitat families is based on family size, income range, debt to income must not be higher than 43 percent, and the family’s credit, looking at the collections you have and how they are being paid.

Income range is dictated by county guideline for poverty level.

One partner family is currently a possibility.

However, the family has a 61 percent debt to income, but should be at 43 percent by April 2015. The deadline for families to occupy a home is November 2015. That deadline cannot be extended.

If a family cannot be found by November 2015, the county will lose money and it will negatively affect their grant application for next year. The contractor is at a standstill on breaking ground for the new home because the size of the family is not known yet. About $80,000 is needed to build the new home in West Lafayette.

Currently, Habitat has $50,000 to put toward that project and hopes to receive additional funds outside of grant money by fundraising events.

The new family doesn’t have to live in West

CONTRIBUTED TO THE BEACON who conducted CEDA. “What we learned about Coshocton County was the need for a designated industrial park, to continue our available site inventory, to promote Coshocton’s excess water and sewer capacity and how to prepare for site selection visits,” said Skowrunski.

“AEP is proud to be part of creating more opportunities for economic development in rural Appalachian Ohio,” said Tim Wells, manager, economic and business development, AEP Ohio.

The $10,000 grant will be used to help fill an economic development gap identified through the CEDA process.

Marty Walsh, vice president of programs, APEG, noted that one of the goals of APEG is to strengthen the skills of economic professionals in the region. “Our county partners know their area and the local businesses better than anyone, but many have not had a lot of experience working with site selectors and that’s where many of the deals start,” said Walsh.

CEDA was presented by the Appalachian Partnership for Economic Growth and funded by the AEP Ohio.

The grants were presented at the ED 101 workshop held for local elected and community leaders last month.

DONATIONS Payne Skelton had the pleasure of drawing the winning ticket for the 50/50 drawing Coshocton Furniture held to raise money for the Coshocton County Animal Shelter. Judy Thomas was the lucky winner of $268.50. The shelter also was a big winner as it received the other half of that money and several large bags of dog food and five cases packed with cat food, treats for dogs and cats, litter and other needed items that had been dropped off at the store during its drive to help the shelter.

One hundred and forty dollars also was collected from candy machines and donated to the shelter. “This is so exciting,” said Chris Sturtz from the animal shelter. “This is food that we don’t have to purchase which gives us money we can put toward vet care for the animals and spaying and neutering them, which is so important.” Pictured from left are Denise Appis, the wife of Bill Appis, who runs Coshocton Furniture, Sophia Skelton, Payne Skelton, and Sturtz.

Pictured are Anthony Bouris-Wilson, Liam Stevens-Woolery, Alex Papadopol, Colston Lauvray, and Joseph Abel. Steaua, the star that each boy is holding, is like those made by children to carry as they carol in rural Romania. In addition to traditional Romanian Christmas customs the students learned what it was like to grow up in a communist-controlled country that prohibited the celebration of Christmas from 1948-1989.

1954

DECEMBER 31ST, 1954 Local boy scouts had their annual Christmas party in the basement of Grace United Methodist Church with three boys being awarded Eagle Scout. They were John Blake Jr., Thomas Lipps, and Craig Taylor. Following tradition, their mothers pinned the badges on their sons’ uniform. Post Advisor Stacy Richisin, spoke about the boys’ achievements in their scouting years. During the ceremony, Lipps was also appointed to the post of junior assistant Scoutmaster. It was also announced that Scoutmaster Stanley J. Allen was resigning and Lorenzo Crawford, assistant Scoutmaster, was taking his place. Crawford presented Allen with a ukulele as a parting gift.

1965

JANUARY 3RD, 1965 For the first time in recent years, Coshocton County was forming a church league with Keith Smalls serving as league president. Two six-team leagues were to be operated, one for men 18 years and older and the other for boys 18 years and younger. Various churches in the county sponsored each league. Each team would play 10 games and a fee of $15 was charged to help pay expenses and buy a new hall for the league. All games would be played in the Salvation Army building, who was also one of the churches sponsoring the men’s league. Collection would be taken to help purchase trophies and other expenses.

1975

JANUARY 2ND, 1975 The two-day Red Cross Bloodmobile was a success. On the second day, the Senior Girl Scouts of Coshocton County sponsored the bloodmobile, which was the first time in 25 years that a youth group sponsored a blood visit.

The girls baked about 60 dozen cookies for those donating blood. More than 100 first-time donors participated on the second day as well, setting an all-time first donation ever. Thirtytwo people gave blood for the first time Monday.

Blood donations exceeded the quota on Monday by 155 pints with a total of 205 pints collected and 157 pints collected on Tuesday. Thirty-two people were also awarded gallon pins.

BANKRUPTCY

1985

JANUARY 5TH, 1985 A huge wall display of township maps was to be featured at the Farm Bureau Membership Drive Kick-Off. Land owned by Farm Bureau members would be painted red. Cheryll Daugherty, membership chairperson, said the goal was to have one new member in each township. She said the maps would hopefully have quite an impact on those in attendance and it would be easy to see which townships supported the Farm Bureau the most. Also included in the kick-off was a cake baking contest where members were asked to bake their favorite cake which would be sampled and judged by other members.

Little Caesars employee experiences YouTube fame

BY JOSIE SELLERS office also has recognized him and there has been a push by fans to get him on “Ellen.”

“They (corporate) sent a letter saying I was a prime example,” Thornsley said. “I was just like, ‘Holy Cow!’” He also noted that it is okay to give him tips.

They will be put to good use paying for college and the place he just moved into with four friends from Little Caesars. He also says to keep the honks and smiles coming as they make him feel good while he dances around to his music.

“No matter what job you have always go in on time and with a smile because people will react to that,” Thornsley said.

SIGN SHAKER Shane Thornsley’s sign shaking skills have helped him achieve YouTube fame after only a few weeks on the job. BEACON PHOTO BY JOSIE SELLERS COSHOCTON – Shane Thornsley is just your average college kid, working to pay the bills. He never imagined his job at Little Caesars would lead him to youtube.com success.

Thornsley has been a sign shaker for Little

Caesars for about three or four weeks now and dances around and has a good time while he is out on the sidewalk promoting the company’s pizza.

People have enjoyed watching him so much that they started videotaping him and posting the videos online.

“My best friend saw all the videos popping up and decided to interview me and do one himself,” said Thornsley, who is a 2012 graduate of Coshocton High School and a student at the Central Ohio Technical College Coshocton Campus.

That video made by Cody Kirker now has more than 8,000 views.

“It’s a lot to take in, but I’m really grateful,” Thornsley said. “My friends keep telling me, ‘You know you’re famous for shaking a sign?’

It’s crazy.”

He used to work for Pizza Hut, but when it closed for remodeling he was able to find a job at Little Caesars thanks to his friends.

“A lot of my friends work there,” Thornsley said. “This was the only job open and I told them I didn’t mind. I kind of like the fact that there is no food rush to take care of out there. It’s just me being goofy and getting paid for it.”

His sign shaking antics have spread as far as Washington State, where he has family members and Thornsley said he’s also discovered that he’s pretty big in Akron. Little Caesars’ corporate

COSHOCTON - Coshocton County Job and Family Services, in partnership with Mid-Ohio Foodbank, will host a series of community conversations designed to develop and explore sustainable ways to tackle hunger in our community.

Last year, one in six Ohioans and one in four children struggled with hunger. In Coshocton County, more than 40 percent of residents have annual incomes less than 200 percent of the federal poverty level making them eligible for food assistance at food pantries. The community conversations will bring together a diverse group of organizations, businesses, and residents to examine the strength of current efforts and to develop strategies to build on those efforts.

“We know that hunger cannot be solved by just one organization alone, but rather by communities of people and organizations who are committed to making food accessible to all

CONTRIBUTED TO THE BEACON people,” said Mid-Ohio Foodbank President & CEO Matt Habash. “These conversations are about local communities discovering the specific actions that will work best in their specific community to meet the hunger needs of those they serve; and it creates a role for those who want to step in and help.”

The entire community is invited to participate.

More information is available at http://www. midohiofoodbank.org/hunger-movement.

Mid-Ohio Foodbank provides food to hundreds of thousands of hungry Ohioans each year by partnering with more than 650 community partners across 20 counties in central and eastern Ohio, including food pantries, soup kitchens, shelters, senior centers, and afterschool programs. Since 1980, the Foodbank has been dedicated to feeding hungry people by collecting and distributing food and grocery products, educating the community about hunger, advocating for hunger-relief programs, and collaborating with others who address basic human needs. In 2013, the Foodbank distributed more than 53 million pounds of food and grocery products to their partner charities, providing enough food for more than 121,000 meals per day. Mid-Ohio Foodbank is a member of Feeding Americ. For more information or to donate, advocate, or volunteer, visit www. midohiofoodbank.org.

COSHOCTON – People who embrace the Messianic Jewish lifestyle believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, but still hold on to their Jewish lifestyle and traditions. Robert Specter, president of the Rock of Israel Ministries, follows the Messianic Jewish lifestyle and presented a program on Hanukah at the JohnsonHumrickhouse Museum on Saturday, Dec. 20 at 7 p.m.

The program was sponsored by Victory Assembly of God in Newcomerstown with Pastor Brent Heishman, who is hoping to launch a church here in Coshocton in the spring. Those who attended the event had an opportunity to win a gift after each candle of the menorah was lit, and Spector spoke about the history of Hanukah as well as eight similarities between Hanukah and Christmas.

“Hanukah has a rich heritage that intertwines with the Christian and Jewish faith,” said Heishman. “It is most likely that Jesus celebrated Hanukah.”

The Hebrew word, Hanukah, means dedication and is a celebration of an event that happened 200 years before the birth of Jesus. At about that time, people of Jewish faith in Israel were under the rule of a Syrian king, but were free to follow their own religious beliefs, until the king Antiochus IV came into power. He forbade the Jewish people from celebrating their own faith and demanded that everyone worship the Greek gods. He killed many people, including women, children, and infants of the Jewish faith.

Mattathias, a Jewish priest, strongly objected the new king. He, along with his five sons, decided to take a stand for their faith and fight.

One son, Judah, led the Jewish people in a revolt.

This small army of Jewish people defeated the king’s army and in celebration, returned to their temple, only to find it desecrated. After cleaning up the temple and rededicating it to their faith, the Jewish people were once again dismayed to find that when they lit the holy fire in the temple menorah, there was only enough oil to last one

night, and there was no time to produce more oil before the holy flame burned out. Miraculously, the oil that was only supposed to last one night lasted eight nights, which is considered the miracle of Hanukah.

“The purpose of the candles is to shine brightly to announce that God is a miracleworking God,” said Specter. “He can do all things. Hanukah is a miracle. Only God could have made that happen. God is powerful. He can do mighty deeds. He must have helped the Maccabiah army overcome the king’s army.

The other miracle is the oil that should have lasted only one day, but it lasted eight days. This holiday is a celebration that God can perform miracles and if he did miracles 400 years ago, he can do miracles today.”

A similarity between Hanukah and Christmas is the presenting of gifts. Gifts are given during the eight nights of Hanukah. Traditionally, the gifts were given to children by the parents, but since Santa Claus has become an icon of Christmas, children of Jewish faith now receive gifts from Hanukah Harry. Also traditionally, gifts were given to the poor each night so that those of lesser means could also celebrate the holiday.

“In Judaism, we see the gift of God,” said Specter. “In Christianity, we see the gift of God’s Son.” Another similarity is the date. The day Judah was able to retake the Jewish temple was exactly three years after the date it was desecrated, which was the 25th day in the winter month. This is why Hanukah is celebrated in the winter and perhaps why Christians chose Dec. 25 as the date to celebrate the birth of Jesus.

The use of trees is another similar feature of Hanukah and Christmas. In the Christian tradition, Christmas trees are decorated. In the Jewish tradition, the menorah represents a tree with nine branches, eight branches off of the center candle. The center candle is called the shamash candle, or servant candle, and is the first candle lit in the menorah each night of Hanukah.

This candle lights all the other candles of the menorah. Some people of Jewish faith also have a Hanukah bush that they decorate with blue and white lights.

Decorating with lights is another similarity

BY BETH SCOTT between Hanukah and Christmas. Hanukah is also known as The Festival of Lights and features nine lights (candles) throughout the eight-day celebration. Some Jewish people also put blue lights on their homes for the season, and Christians celebrate with white or multi-colored lights.

Another similarity is of course, the similarity of miracles. For the Hanukah celebration, it is the miracle of a smaller army defeating a king’s army to win back their freedom of religion. In the Christian faith, it is the miracle of a virgin birth.

Families are also a similarity with Hanukah and Christmas. While some Jewish celebrations happen at the temple, Hanukah is celebrated at home with food, songs, and games. The dreidel is a game that is associated with Hanukah. It is played with each player receiving ten coins. Each player spins the dreidel and depending on what side the dreidel lands, depends on how much of the center pot of coins the player receives. The four sides of the dreidel say, “Great Miracle Happened There”. In Israel, it says, “Great Miracle Happened Here”.

Another similarity is the presence of the enemy in Hanukah and Christmas. The Syrian king was the Jewish enemy while King Herrod was the enemy of Christmas as he tried to find and kill Baby Jesus.

The last similarity was the presence of the hero. Judah was considered the hero of the Jewish faith while the true hero of the Christian faith was Jesus. Other heroes of the Christmas holiday are the Virgin Mary, Joseph, and also the Wise Men. “Jesus is the deliverer,” said Specter. “He is the one called to deliver us from our sins.”

Specter is a pastor and missionary. He is the president of Rock of Israel Ministries which was started by his father after he accepted Jesus as his Savior. Specter was born in Haiti while his father was on a missionary trip. The goals of the Rock of Israel Ministries are as follows: Jesus is the Messiah, help churches understand that the Bible is a Jewish book written by Jewish people, and provide resources to help in evangelism and understanding scripture.

WALHONDING VALLEY SAND & GRAVEL CO.

17 DECEMBER 31, 2014 THE BEACON CLASSIFIED HOTLINE 622-4ADS

COSHOCTON – Beat the winter blahs this year by taking part in a new workshop series being offered by the local Master Gardeners.

“We are always trying to come up with new ideas to entice people to take part in our programming,” said Tammi Rogers, program assistant, ag and natural resources and county master gardener volunteer coordinator. “We thought maybe some fun, hands-on sessions with an educational component would be a neat way to introduce more people to gardening.”

The programs begin promptly at 6:30 p.m. and are all held in Room 145 of the County Services Building at 724 S. Seventh St. Topics and dates are as follows: • Tuesday, Jan. 20 - Forcing Branches & Bulbs: Learn how to bring blooms indoors and take a dish of narcissus home.

• Tuesday, Feb. 17 - Cool Containers: Veggies & Flowers: Get to know what plants “play well” together and take home some design ideas.

• Tuesday, March 17 - Decoding Plant & Seed Labels & Make Seed Balls: Learn how to read plant labels and seed packets for greater growing success. Make and take seed balls to scatter where you’d like some summer color.

“I collected ideas that the Master Gardeners have given me throughout the year and came up with three (classes) that I thought might be the ones most usable to new or seasoned gardeners,” Rogers said. “Participants will learn about the topic and also go home with information and materials to take home and do, and even share, during the long winter days.”

The cost for the classes is $10 per person/per session or $25 per person for all three sessions.

“We try to include all types of gardeners and levels of expertise,” Rogers said. “These sessions would even be good for younger gardeners, fourth or fifth graders.”

She is most looking forward to the March 17 class and the lesson on seed balls.

“I haven’t done it yet and am really looking forward to making some and, of course, tossing them around to see how it works,” Rogers said.

“That class will also be one that you get to put

The following graduates received pins on Saturday, Dec. 13, at COTC’s Ariel Hall at the Knox campus: Casey N. Adams, Danielle M. Aronhalt, Diane E. Elbin, Tanya J. Elliott, Kara L. Green, Dawn M. Hanna, Ashley A. Harden, Brooke A. Hinkle, Brittany M. Jewell, Derek J. Johnson, Jennifer M. Ray, Nellie A. Reeser-Neal, Wendy L. Richmond, Jessica D. Stewart, Elisha M. Stickle, Ami A. Wickline, and Kimberly A.

Yoder. Only graduates who have granted COTC permission to release their names to the public are listed.

The pinning ceremony is a long-held tradition marking the passage of student to the ranks of professional nursing. 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.
