By Jan MyersYou may have seen an oval sticker with the letters ‘COSH’ on some vehicles around town recently. These are the creation of The Novelty Advertising Company in Coshocton. Greg Coffman, president of the company, says he came up with the idea while traveling. “I was on vacation and saw these oval Euro stickers for sale and on several vehicles,” he said, “You see the common ones for places like The Outer Banks and Hilton Head Island. But I saw one on a car that said ‘BKVL’. I’d never heard of that one and when I walked up to that car I saw that it stood for Bakersville, North Carolina. I felt that if Bakersville, North Carolina could have an auto sticker, then Coshocton should have one, too.” Coffman says that even though The Novelty Advertising Company is an old company (they started in Coshocton in 1895) they continually have a lot of new ideas. “Coshocton is considered the birthplace of the promotional advertising industry,” said Coffman, “The Novelty Advertising Company was just one of several companies in Coshocton creating specialty advertising products over 100 years ago. As we all know, nationally, that industry has grown tremendously over the years. The specialty advertising business is now a $21 billion industry.” The Novelty Advertising Company prints a number of popular full-color items such as calendars, posters, banners, greeting cards, flyers, newsletters and brochures. “We are also a promotional product distributor,” said Coffman, “We can get just about anything printed with your logo. Our goal is

to help local businesses and those across the country promote their businesses by helping drive traffic to web sites, publicizing special events, providing trade show products and increasing store traffic. The promotional products industry has actually continued to do very well in this economy.” C o f f m a n says that 2009 was a good year for the local company, which employs 47 people.

They recently did a desk pad calendar giveaway to over 250 local businesses and organizations. “We did that just to fill a need in the community,” said Coffman, “We know that many businesses have made budget cuts and may not have been able to purchase the large desk calendars this year.” The Novelty Advertising Company was also pleased that in 2009 they were able to bring some of the former JII business back to Coshocton. “This past year was our first year to produce a portion of the JII calendar line,” said Coffman, “We have hired many of the former JII employees and they were a big help in making this happen.” Coffman says the auto sticker was designed with the letters COSH, short for ‘Coshocton’ to help instill community pride and raise awareness about our county. “It’s kind of like an ambassador program,” he said, “It allows us to positively promote Coshocton as a tourist destination wherever we go.” The weatherproof stickers retail for $5 and are available at Roma’s Gifts and Florist on Main Street and weekdays at The Novelty Advertising Company showroom on Walnut Street. Coffman also plans to make the stickers available at the Chamber of Commerce office at 401 Main Street. The proceeds from the initial supply of COSH auto stickers will be donated to the Coshocton Community Band. For more information, contact The Novelty Advertising Company at (740) 622-3113.

Pearl fay Pickrell now a centenarian

Friends, family members and well wishers gathered at Burt Avenue Wesleyan Church on Saturday, Jan. 30 to celebrate the 100th birthday of Canal Lewisville resident Pearl Fay (Jennings) Pickrell, who was born on January 29, 1910. Son Charles Jr., who still lives in Canal Lewisville, said when asked about his age, ‘”I’m

old enough to vote!” Later, he admitted to being 75 years old. Brother Tom lives in Florida and was unable to attend the party due to his wife’s illness. Pickrell said about his mom Pearl, “I think what has helped her make it to one hundred is the fact that she is always on the move. She does everything around the house that she can”. Doris and Gilbert Parkhill attended and Doris remarked, “She used to babysit the boys (Todd and Trent) for us. She babysat for four or five years”. Gilbert recalled, “Pearl never walked – she always ran”. Denny and Ellen Conkle came to the party

and Ellen presented Pearl with a bouquet of flowers. Denny said, “I delivered her kerosene for a kerosene heater that was in the kitchen. It only took a gallon at a time”. Pearl herself said, when asked about a favorite memory of all the years, “My kids going to school.” And the reason for her longevity, “I keep busy around the house”. Ask anyone that knows Pearl Pickrell and they will tell you that energy truly does come in small packages. Wanda Fisher said, “She would still be mowing her own lawn even at one hundred years old if

leTTer To The ediTor By harry JaMes Medley Jr

Did you watch the Pro Bowl? Neither did I – ha, ha! I caught the highlights on ESPN and that was enough for me. Waiting on the Super Bowl – I will stick with my prediction of last week – Colts by two touchdowns. I do not think it will be close. Get your party favorites ready – my favorite is a recipe from the year that the Bears won the Super Bowl with “The Fridge”, Walter Payton, Coach Mike Ditka, Mike Singletary, McMahon, and the “Super Bowl Shuffle”. A great article in “The Coshocton Tribune” this past Sunday reported on the ban on smoking in bars and social clubs. According to the report, Coshocton has had a total of 102 violations with 66 of those dismissed, 14 warnings and 19 fines in the amount of $13,900 assessed but only $600 of those fines collected. Is there a point to this ban? Is it any wonder we aren’t able to accomplish anything of significance anymore? Like perhaps placing a ban on texting while driving – which could save some teenagers (and adults) lives. Improving our educational system? Or perhaps figuring out how to modernize how we collect data for the 2010 US Census that doesn’t involve spending millions (billions?) of taxpayer money. Gee, maybe we could figure out how to utilize the Internet, Facebook, Twitter or other social media to gather the data. Or maybe we could use our annual tax filing to update the Census in near real time. But why would we want to do that? It might actually make

sense. Have an opinion on this? Share it with me via email at [email protected]. Maybe I am missing something here. Our community lost a hard worker and dedicated community servant last week in the passing of Mr. Paul Bintz. Paul owned and

operated Paul’s AG on Third Street for nearly 50 years and most in the community knew him as a kindly man that helped people when they were down. These are the people that helped make our community what it is today and each one that passes on means a little bit more of our history fades into memory. If you have a relative that is older or in failing health take some time to record their memories of the past – snap some photos – and ensure that their memories are preserved for the family members of the future. We were invited to a special birthday party for Pearl Fay (Jennings) Pickrell on Saturday. Pearl celebrated her 100th birthday last Friday – born in 1910. Can you imagine the changes and history that Pearl has witnessed during her lifetime? From the heyday of the automobile to manned space flight, people living during the 20th century have certainly been witness to more significant events than any other century. What will the 21st century bring? Oh, that reminds me – we have that little thing called 2012 coming in a couple of years. You know what the Mayans said about that. We will see. Just in case, I am already working on my column for the December 19, 2012 edition of The Coshocton County Beacon.

The clumsiness of business

It is difficult to say what is impossible, for the dream of yesterday is the hope of today and

the reality of tomorrow.-Robert H. Goddard, US physicist and

pioneer rocket engineer

Memorable Quotes

The clumsiness of business as usual today is a real problem of worldwide significance today. The lack of creative thinking is because of the clumsiness of the ones who control the money. Rothschild, who controlled the banking interest of Europe a long time ago, stated that he didn’t care who controlled the politics of the country as long as he controlled money. Has this changed in 2010?Harry James Medley Jr.Coshocton, Ohio

they hadn’t put her lawn mower away!” Joining the exclusive club of people aged 100 years or older probably won’t mean much of a change in lifestyle for Pearl, who lives frugally near her friends and neighbors in Canal Lewisville. According to Wikipedia, there are slightly more than 96,000 people aged 100 or more in the United States as of 2008. Nancy Grubbs, who works for the Coshocton County Senior Center, and delivers a meal to Pearl daily, said, “She is just such a joy – she is a real clown. When I grow up I want to be just like her! She is still as sharp as a tack!” Pearl married Charles Pickrell in 1933. He passed away in the early eighties. Family members from all over Ohio and relatives from as far away as North Carolina attended the celebration. Special guests included Coshocton Mayor Steve Mercer and wife Sharon. Pearl and Charles Pickrell were blessed with

two sons; Charles Jr. and Tom, many grand-children and eight great-great grandchildren. A grand-daughter, Linda Testa, said, “It’s just awesome to see that many years celebrated and how things have changed in her lifetime”. Some of the more whimsical items invented during Pearl’s lifetime include the slinky, silly putty and the ball point pen. Guests were invited to sign a special birthday “card” that will be turned into the center square on a quilt that her good friend Ada Haines is making. Haines could not attend the party because she was in the hospital. Haines, Laurella Billman, and grand-daughter in law Angela Pickrell helped plan the special day for Pearl. Special friend Ada Haines had this to say from her hospital room on Monday following the party, “She is so very special to me and my goal was to see that she had a very special birthday. I want to thank everyone that helped make her 100th birthday a special one”.

Wanda Unger, treasurer of the Canal Quilters, presented a gift of $200 to Habitat for Humanity of Coshocton Jan. 18. Ernie Galajda, president of the Habitat board accepted the donation.

famed children’s author visits conesville elementaryStudents at Conesville Elementary received a rare treat on Friday, January 29, when famed children’s author, C.J. Heck came for a poetry reading and a book signing. Heck was there the whole day entertaining the students with her brilliant poetry. Although she is an adult, Heck’s writing refl ects that of a child’s to more accurately portray her own childhood memories and so that she may also better relate to her targeted audience. Heck is a Coshocton native and grew up on Elm Street. She said that most of her children’s poetry is based on her own experiences when she was a child. Some poems are based on her siblings, her children, grandchildren, and even the students she meets when doing school readings. Her fi rst children’s poetry book is called “Barking Spiders”. But these aren’t your traditional eight-legged fi ends she’s speaking of. “We were all sitting on the fl oor playing chutes and ladders,” Heck said, “it was a wooden fl oor and all of a sudden, my sister passed gas. She said, ‘Oh I’m so embarrased’ and covered her face. But my brother stood up and yelled, ‘Hey Sue, you’d better get some Raid. We’ve got some barking spiders in here.’ We all cracked up laughing and my sister wasn’t embarrassed anymore. So I got the idea for the poem, ‘Barking Spiders’.” Heck started each session by introducing herself to the kids and teaching them a little about poetry. She explained to the kids that poetry can be found in everyday life through greeting cards, songs, and even tongue twisters. For the next ten minutes or so, the class giggled and laughed as they tried their best to master the tongue twisters Heck taught them. The class split up into two sections and tried to out-do each other in both speed and accuracy. By the end, the classes were pretty good with those tongue twisters. Even the teachers were expert tongue twisters! After the class had untwisted their tongues, Heck began reading some of her poetry. Heck’s writing was amazing and her subject matter was something both children and adults could relate to. The children could relate more to Heck’s style of writing and the adults sat back listening, remembering their own childhood. At the end of the hour, Heck left time for questions. She really has a gift with children, because those students were actively engaged for the whole hour. Even the ones who admitted to not liking poetry were asking questions about writing and Heck’s childhood in the end. She also answered other very important questions when asked such as, “What’s your favorite poem?” and “What’s your favorite animal?” and “Do you have any poems about dirtbikes?” “My inspiration comes from anyone,” said Heck, “It started out with being just a part of my life and my childhood, and when my kids were

born, I started writing funny things they did. Now I have grandchildren. I’ll call them up on the phone and read a poem to them and they’ll tell me if it’s good or not. If it’s not, I’ll rip it up and start on another one, or put it in a drawer somewhere. They’re my greatest critics.” Heck does readings throughout the state of Ohio and has travelled to many other states as well sharing her gift of writing with others. She also has written some adult poetry, which can be viewed at www.authorsden.com and includes the poem she wrote for her fi rst husband, who was killed in the Vietnam War. She is still debating

whether or not to publish her adult poetry in book form. Most poems Heck writes has a subtle message in them, such as “The Quarter”. It’s about a little boy who fi nds a quarter and is wondering what to buy with it. As he and his father are walking downtown, they see a blind man in a wagon with a cup. The little boy decides to give his only quarter, all the money he has, to this blind man. Thinking his daddy will be mad at him for giving away all his money, the little boy is shocked when his daddy says he’s proud of him. “There’s no money in books,” said Heck, “but if you’re not shy and can go out and visit these students, that’s where all the fun is. I get a high every time I talk to these kids.” C.J. Heck has eight books that are ready to be published. She is also planning on publishing a new book of children’s poetry sometime next month. To learn more about Coshocton native author, C.J. Heck, visit her web site at www.barkingspiderspoetry.com. There, you can read some of her children’s poetry, high school poetry, view information about her school and public visits, tongue twisters, and her biography. CJ’s book is available to buy on amazon.com.

Barking sPiders CJ Heck, famed children’s au-thor, visited the students at Conesville elementary on Friday, January 29, to promote her book, “barking Spi-ders” which was published in 2000.

Sacred Heart will join other accredited Catholic elementary and high schools throughout the Diocese of Columbus in a national celebration of Catholic Schools’ Week, Feb. 1 - 5. This year’s theme, “Dividends for Life”, highlights the mission of Catholic schools to provide a faith-based education that supports the whole child academically and spiritually, and prepares students for future successes. “Sacred Heart is proud to be a part of this national celebration that helps raise awareness of how Catholic schools continue to inspire children with a faith-based education,” said Mary Stenner, principal of Sacred Heart, “Our

school helps students develop intellectually, spiritually and morally, fostering wisdom and understanding that helps produce adults and leaders for our community.” Sacred Heart School has planned several activities to celebrate the week. A school breakfast for the staff and students was on Monday morning to kick off the week. On Wednesday, Feb. 3, they will be having a “Special Friends’ Mass” at 1 p.m. in the church with a reception in the gym immediately following the service. On Tuesday, Thursday and Friday of that week they will be doing other activities at the school. They encourage everyone to visit their school, tour their classrooms, talk with their students and teachers, and they’re sure everyone will see what hundreds of families already know—that our school truly does provide a faith-based education for our students. “Sacred Heart School benefits more than just our students and their families,” said Stenner, “With higher standardized test scores, attendance rates and smaller class sizes, our students are prepared for the next phases of their lives. We help build a strong foundation for them to become contributing, successful members of this community.” Sacred Heart is an accredited school with almost 80 students in grades preschool through six serving the Coshocton City, the Riverview and Ridgewood Local, and the TriValley School Districts. Special education, speech and language, band, music, physical education, and art are a part of the curriculum. The students also enjoy instruction in computers, Spanish, and sign language. For more information on this event, call the school office at 740-622-3728.

1950February 3rd, 1950

William Waters of West Lafayette, originally of Otsego, celebrated his 95th birthday at the home of his son and daughter-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. John Waters of West Lafayette. There was a special birthday dinner at noon with a beautifully decorated cake as the center of the main event. Mr. Waters was in good health at the time and spent the day surrounded by his family, including his wife, Sarah, whom he had married on Oct. 23, 1884. Mr Waters was a farmer, a stone mason, and a teamster on the oil fields. He was also a member of the Otsego Methodist Church.

1960February 6th, 1960

Fresno basketball fans had something to celebrate. The Indians had won the first Coshocton county league championship the previous Friday, and began making plans for the upcoming tournament. The 91-52 victory was over Union and was their next to last game of the season. Second place had not yet been decided, but Fresno was scheduled to meet one of the teams involved for the runner-up position, the West Lafayette Generals. West Lafayette had dashed Conesville’s hope for second in a previous game. The Indians had crushed the Generals earlier in the season, but the General fans were hoping for a comeback and a victory over the Indians, which would put them in the second place position.

1970February 7th, 1970

Thirteen students had arrived in Coshocton the previous week as part of the Cardinal Conference exchange program. These students came from different area schools and stayed for two days. They had the choice of following the same schedule as their host student or to follow their own schedule during the two-day period. They were able to return to their homes Friday evening, but had the option to stay and attend the Coshocton – Ashland game and the after-game dance for free. In order to participate, applicants had to write a 200 word essay on why they wanted to represent their schools. The main purpose of the program is to promote good inter-school relationship.

1980February 3rd, 1980

Coshocton Lumber Company had a new home. It had recently purchased the Majestic Paint Store in the Downtowner Plaza. The paint store had then been relocated as a separate department at the lumber company on Walnut Street. The store’s manager, William Kobel, continued to operate the new paint department for Coshocton Lumber. While most companies have a going out of business sale, to celebrate it’s new location, Coshocton Lumber decided to have a huge going into business sale. Every item was knocked down to a ridiculously low price for the occasion. All items from the old store were still offered and, as always, the service was always friendly.

Regular physical activity is good for everyone, including at-home seniors. Falls are a common cause of injury and disability. Physical activity makes bones stronger and less likely to break if a fall does occur. Home healthcare aides can assist their clients in performing simple exercises that have been determined to be age- and physical ability- appropriate. Generally, it is safe for most adults to exercise. Even seniors with heart disease, diabetes, and arthritis can exercise safely. In fact, many of these conditions are improved with exercise. For most seniors, walking is one of the easiest activities. A home health aide can be the partner who motivates a senior client to do some sort of exercise and stick with it.

It’s hard enough for most people to fi nd time and motivation to ex-ercise. It can be exhausting and overwhelming if you have to try to get your parent to exercise, too. INTERIM HEALTHCARE OF COSHOC-TON can help. Our home healthcare aides can make sure your loved one eats right and gets enough exercise every day. That exercise, as well as that companionship, can help keep your loved one healthier for longer, which means they will get to stay in their house for longer, too. Our services are fl exible, to match your needs, which means we can offer 24-hour long-term care, or temporary respite care for overnight. Call 877-759-2106 to learn what we can do for you. Our address is 420 Downtowner Plaza. Home care delivered right to your door. 623-2949

keim lumber holds woodworkers night By Mark forTune

Nearly 1300 guests representing over 450 different wood working shops and businesses attended the Woodworkers night at Keim Lumber in Charm on Thursday evening, Jan. 28. Twenty eight vendor companies were represented on site to answer questions and display product lines for the guests. A full catered meal was prepared and served by the Carpenter’s Café, which is located on the second floor of the Keim Lumber facility. Two free seminars on leadership and innovation were provided during the afternoon by Elam Esh and Bruce Hendrick. Bill Keim, President of the company, said, “This event is a thank you

to these customers who have been buying from Keim Lumber. It is an event where we benefit and the woodworkers also benefit”. David Beachy, sales manager at Keim Lumber, made the following observations about the event, “These events have become somewhat of a reunion for the woodworkers and we feel that this event adds value to what we already provide for our customers. These seminars would normally cost a lot of money to attend, yet are provided free to our customers. We believe that events such as this help build relationships between our company and the woodworkers and

amongst the woodworkers themselves”. Guests could tour the many buildings that house the various departments at Keim Lumber, including the custom millwork shop and offices, where those on the tour were able to see Keim Lumber’s state of the art fully computerized and automated routing machine at work. Employees of the company were hard at work during the afternoon and evening so that guests could not only see how things are done at Keim, but by whom. John Swaffer, Marketing Manager at Keim Lumber, commented, “We are excited about the number of attendees and the enthusiasm for the vendors on hand. Many of the vendors are displaying brand new product lines and particularly products that are “green”. We are able to offer so much more product in our 120,000 square foot showroom and we are pleased that so many have turned out for this event”.

The Coshocton Hospital Oncology Department provides its patients with the right care when they need it. The staff of the department realizes that there is more to healing than just the prescribed treatments. Patients also gain a lot from those around them that are going through similar situations. Jackie Mason, RN, C who leads the monthly Cancer Support group at the hospital, has helped give survivors another tool in their recovery. The department received monetary donations from survivors and the families of those who have lost their battles. The department staff voted to utilize these funds and create patient information boards for the department. These boards feature different patients from the department every couple weeks. Sometimes it’s the patient only and other times they focus on the patient and loved ones who are playing an important role in their recovery process. “Most times, the patients answer basic questions about themselves, tell a little bit about their story, describe the support that they receive from the caregivers in their life, and where they draw their strength from,” said Mason. People who are visiting the department can stop and read the boards and see the notes from the individuals and gather strength from their story. Mason said that another individual even contacted the local media and asked for donations of scarves to be given to patients going through chemotherapy. She said that at last count, approximately 100 scarves of different shapes and sizes had been donated to the department. The support that is shown in our community is evident through simple actions like this. The Cancer Support Group meets the fourth Monday of the month. Their meeting on Monday,

Jan. 25 and focused on how to wear scarves to make you look and feel better. The guest speaker was Brenda Akers of Akers of Style. Coshocton Hospital is a non-profi t organization located at 1460 Orange Street in Coshocton Ohio. Currently the largest employer in Coshocton County, Coshocton Hospital celebrated 100 years of service to the community in 2009. With a complete line

of services available, they are dedicated to providing “The Right Care…Right Here”. For more information, please contact the hospital at 740-622-6411 or visit them online at www.CCMH.com

italian chef wows guests at raven’s glenn cooking class By BeTh dulaneyGuests at Raven’s Glenn received a special delight on Saturday, Jan. 30 with their event, “Cooking with Mimma”. Mimma Bonderer is an Italian chef who has been living in the United States for ten years and who really enjoys cooking and entertaining her guests. She is an amazing cook who uses authentic Italian ingredients imported from Italy in all of her food. Her dream was always to teach the Italian food she grew up with to Americans. The event started at 1 p.m. Guests were led one-by-one into the back room which overlooked the beautiful snow-covered Tuscarawas River. After everyone settled in, the staff of Raven’s Glenn passed out a few of Mimma’s recipes. Then, Mimma took the stage and began by giving a little biography of herself and also the food she was going to be making. She explained that the main difference between American food and Italian food was that in America, the FDA requires preservatives in all canned and frozen foods. In Italy, only freshly-grown ingredients are used in their foods. Therefore, the food has a much richer and fresher taste. “I was raised cooking from scratch,” said Mimma, “Everything is done from scratch. When I came to the United States, I couldn’t find some of these ingredients I used to cook with in America. My dream was to bring these ingredients to the United States that are hard to find.”

The first dish Mimma made was a flatbread with diced tomatoes and seasoning. The flatbread was almost like a cracker, which went very well with the tomatoes. The next course was an amazing dish of pasta with meat sauce and cheese. The pasta was imported from Italy and had no preservatives. Because of this, the pasta tasted fresh and the sauce was very rich in texture. I personally thought it was the best dish

of pasta I had ever eaten. As everyone enjoyed their pasta, Mimma and her assistant, Tracey Lockhart showed some different tools used to make homemade pasta. At the end of the event, everyone received a bag of some of the imported pasta Mimma used and also a recipe for the sauce. The next course was a pleasant surprise. Truffles! Mimma made an amazing fresh salad with strawberries and a Balsamic vinegar with black and white truffles. Truffles have a very unique smell and taste to them, and they complemented the salad very well. “The food is awesome,” said Bill Houglan of Dover, “I enjoy watching her cook and learning some things. I really enjoyed the salad with strawberries. It was different, but very good.” Truffles are very expensive. They range in price from about $600 - $3,000 depending on the type of truffle. But if you can afford it, it’s worth it. The next course was pork smothered in gravy made with truffle flour. It was served with potatoes and mixed vegetables. While the guests enjoyed their pork, Mimma told a humorous story about the first time she ever ate corn. When Mimma’s children would have friends over, she would always invite their families to stay for dinner. One time when Mimma went to pick up her children at a friend’s house, their parents invited her to stay for dinner. Mimma was a little hesitant because the family was having corn, which was only used to feed the cows in Italy. However, she decided to be a little adventurous and try some. She absolutely loved it and ran home to call her mother in Italy and proclaim that she must try some corn.

Buon ciBo e Buoni aMici (good food and good friends) mimma bonderer is an italian chef who has been living in the united States for the passed 10 years. Her dream was to bring great-tasting italian food to America. She had a cooking class at Ra-ven’s Glenn on Saturday, Jan. 30 at 1 p.m. and served up some amazing authentic italian dishes. beACON pHOTO by beTH duLANey

After everyone enjoyed their pork, Mimma took a short break and walked around to all the different tables and spent time with everyone. “I’m really learning a lot,” said Carla Hall of Newcomerstown, “And Mimma is just so sweet.” “I don’t think you could beat the price,” said Gail Houglan of Dover, “I thought we’d just get some small samples of the food, but this is wonderful!” After the break, dessert was served. Mimma served a white chocolate spiced pear tiramisu. The dessert was sweet, but not too sweet. Just perfect. “Cooking reminds me of my family,” said Mimma, “and the joy of cooking with friends.

It’s wonderful because I can share with other people and it’s a way to think of my days in Italy.” During the event, Raven’s Glenn served five different wines with all five courses. Each wine complemented each dish perfectly and really enhanced the taste. “The whole concept of this event was to put food and wine together that enhances one another,” said Raven’s Glenn owner, Robert Guilliams. Everyone agreed that Mimma’s food was absolutely amazing.

rethinking church By Mark forTuneNearly two hundred members of United Methodist churches from the Three Rivers district met at the Roscoe United Methodist Church on Saturday, Jan. 30 to attend workshops designed to help Methodists “Rethink Church”. The keynote speaker was East Ohio Conference Bishop John L. Hopkins, who told the attendees that, “A lot of people know of Jesus – but they don’t really know Jesus because a lot of people have not heard about Jesus”. When asked what the goals were for the workshops, Bishop Hopkins said, “First, I’m hoping that by coming together we will discover that every church is trying innovative things – and we can find out how lives are changed when we go outside the church and touch people in our communities. It

is really about finding the “Best Practices” for our churches. The second goal is to absorb some of the innovation from the workshops and learn how the church can be more relevant for younger people. One of our missions is to reach people outside the church, particularly the poor and the younger generations. Church work needs to be generational, and not so much geographical. Many younger people see the church as an institution. We’re trying to change that”. Reverend Jim Humphrey, superintendent of the United Methodist Three Rivers district, commented, “We’re hoping to equip people to do new ministries – new fields that are focused on youth, the divorced, parenting and reaching people in poverty. We need to bring the message of the gospel in new ways to people outside the walls of the church”. The Three Rivers District office of the United Methodist church is located on Walnut Street in Coshocton, across from Grace United Methodist Church. The district contains 75 Methodist churches and touches ten counties.

reThink church united methodist east Ohio Conference bishop John L. Hopkins addresses near-ly two hundred members of area united methodist Churches that attended several workshops on Satur-day, Jan. 30 at the Roscoe united methodist Church. The workshops were designed to educate and dis-cover innovative ways to reach people outside the church. beACON pHOTO by mARk FORTuNe

“small business backbone of u.s. economy”, says schilligSteve Schillig, Director of the Ohio Small Business Development Center, Region 10, spoke at last Wednesday’s economic development breakfast, hosted by the Coshocton County Chamber of Commerce. According to Schillig, the US Department of Commerce defines a small business, “As a business having fewer than 500 employees”. Small businesses pay 44% of the US private payroll and have provided over 64% of all net jobs over the past 15 years. Schillig said that small business owners, “Like a challenge, are goal oriented, and see opportunity where others see problems”. The Ohio Small Business Development

Center is a nonprofit agency funded by the Small Business Administration, Ohio Department of Development and local partners, Kent State University – Tuscarawas and the Coshocton County Chamber of Commerce. There are twelve regions in the state and Schillig represents Region 10 and covers Holmes, Tuscarawas and Coshocton counties. Schillig said, “The goal is to start, sustain and grow small businesses in Ohio”. Training and resource classes are offered once a month on Friday’s at the Chamber office and the regional office at Kent State Tuscarawas offers resources such as books, DVD’s, brochures

and many other training resources. From July 2007 to June 2008 the office had 2,322 client visits with 2,454 hours invested. Specifically, Schillig’s office saw 88 clients from September 2008 to September 2009, with two new business starts with four employees. Schillig said, “Small business is critical to our economy. We have many resources available and most of these are free”. To contact Schillig, call his office at 330-308-7479 or you can call the Coshocton County Chamber of Commerce, 740-622-5411.

tystate of the city address from Mayor steve Mercer

City of CoshoctonState of the City

Monday Jan 25, 2010Mayor Steven D. Mercer

Members of Council, elected officials, guests and citizens of Coshocton, As I review 2009, I’ll start with a collective sigh from me and all those who served and worked in city government last year. To paraphrase Kenny Rogers, “We picked a fine time to be elected Lucille”. The effects of the worst recession since the great depression reached its tentacles all the way to small fish like our city and spread its wings across this nation and around the globe. However, public service is just that. Sometimes there are seven years of plenty, and then seven years of lean. We come to the card table optimistic for what we’d be dealt and though we’d sometimes like to call for a re-deal, we know our responsibility is to do the same as each of you, that is to play the hand we’re dealt. Let me show you that hand for 2009. In 2007 our income tax revenue peaked at nearly $4.78 million. As the economy began its free-fall in 2008, revenue fell 4.85% and our General Fund ended the year $400,000 in the red. 2009 saw what was perhaps the city’s greatest one year income tax loss, an 11.77% drop of over a half million dollars from the previous year. That was a tremendous amount for a budget our size and the cause for many somber meetings and long days. But that wasn’t the end of the game. Through frugal fiscal management, conscientious department heads, positive effects from city council policy changes, and having a few good cards drawn at the end of the year that blessed us with additional income, we were able to finish 2009 in better financial shape than we started. We were able to close the $400,000 General Fund deficit by nearly 96% or $382,200. In fact, the total of all city funds combined was in still the black throughout the year. I’m not an economist, but I am hopeful like everyone, that 2009 was the bottom of the recession and in 2010 our economy will stabilize. How did this translate to what we were able to do in 2009? We kept all of our departments, had no employee layoffs, maintained essential safety services and improved the quality of services citywide. Specifically, here are a few highlights: Our Health Department was able to expand services and add an employee while increasing revenue. With the retirement of Dr. Ernest Kundert, we welcomed a new Health Commissioner, Dr. Wendy Redmond. The Street Department repaved 17 streets, completely replaced two, used 490 gallons of traffic paint, 270 tons of pothole patch, 1350 tons of snow salt, 16,000 gals of brine water and

repaired over 45 storm water catch basins. Our Cemetery Department had 109 interments, sold 55 new grave plots, and installed 88 headstone foundations and bronze markers while maintaining four city cemeteries year round with the fewest employees ever. The Recreation Department started the year with the largest budget cuts, but with newly appointed Steve Jones at the helm as director, the department accepted the challenge to keep the high level of programs and facilities for which it’s known. With the help of the Recreation and Project boards, he not only did that, but also improved ball fields and fencing and lighted – for the first time – one of our ball diamonds at City Rec. Park. And they did it all under budget. Our Utilities Department is the largest combined entity with 22 employees in the water and wastewater plants, billing office and the distribution crew. Operating two plants on a 24/7 schedule, crews responded to 26 water line breaks, 92 sewer calls and - charged with providing quality water and sewer services with ever changing EPA regulations - is a monumental challenge to Director Dave McVay and his team. Seems his job could be much easier if Jerry and I would just leave him alone more. This past year we continued to restructure the plant operations, combined the two distribution crews for better efficiency and cost savings, replaced outdated equipment and made a few capital improvements. Safety of the citizens is a primary purpose of government, and the excellent working relationship between the Law Director’s Office, Municipal Court and the Sheriff’s Office means residents receive the protection and timely attention they deserve, even under ever increasing caseloads and decreasing budgets. With the help of the County’s IT Department, we are working on setting up video arraignments between the Jail and Municipal Court. This is just one example of the inter-government relations that help everyone when we lay down our territorial walls to do what best serves all. The Fire Department continues to be a shining beacon in the community and shows the taxpayer’s money and trust are well spent and

very much appreciated. In 2009, we added a new 75-foot ladder truck, upgraded safety equipment with grants and improved our state firefighting rating. Nothing typifies the value of this more than the life-saving event that occurred New Year’s weekend. Capt. Mark Underwood, his team, the sheriff’s office and citizen volunteers pulled a woman from her burning, smoke filled house, moments before a tragedy would have occurred. Their response was “It’s nothing more than what we’re trained to do” - but to one grateful person, it was much more. Thank you to the Chief, Mark, and all firefighters and first responders who can be faced daily with such challenges. When trying to condense a year in review, I would be remiss not to acknowledge a few other people and highlights. Pointing out these few doesn’t diminish the work, dedication and service of many more. All of them together make up the team and together, we work for you, the citizens. Part of that team is the two unions and its members representing about two-thirds of our workforce. This year we signed three-year contracts with both the Fire and AFSCME unions. Recognizing the economic conditions we all face, they accepted a three-year wage freeze and agreed to other cost-saving measures with insurance and benefits. This is the evidence of a team pulling together for the greater good. I thank not only the unions, but all our employees. I’d also like to recognize four individuals who retired in 2009. A total of over 125 years was given by Law Director Joe Skelton, Auditor Lois Murphy, Mike Honnold in the water plant and Dave Burns from the Health Department board. This is a significant loss of experience. Thank you to each of them. Even with the economy’s effect on us, we saw many positive changes in 2009. Change can sometimes be painful, but it is inevitable. However, I see change as a necessity and always proceeded with something of the old passing away so something new can emerge. Let’s look at some of those changes. Visionary local entrepreneurs saw vacant buildings as opportunities and acted on them.• Organic Technologies completed their corporate relocation with the purchase and renovation of the former Shaw-Barton/JII building, bringing beauty and purpose back to a great facility and continuing to add jobs.

transformation of that long-empty building has been impressive.• Coshocton Trucking saw a treasure in the former Trans-Service site that compelled them to action and to relocate their company. The result was a more efficient facility to better serve their growing business. To us, it meant one fewer empty building and 127 jobs into the city. They then recruited Smith Brothers Sales and Service to Coshocton. This snowball effect is the interaction we need to help fill buildings and storefronts.• Looking further down Second Street, we also welcomed Woodbury Outfitters into the city. They saw the opportunity in the former Big Bear grocery store to expand their business and take advantage of the low purchase price. I see that business as an anchor for re-energizing that end of town. It is also exemplified with Crowtown Pizza, now relocated in the former Burger King building. What else on Second Street?• Abbott Infusion in the old Rent-All building;• Hickory Heaven restaurant in the Mini Plaza;• New owners of the Downtowner Plaza;• Family Dollar new business and building; and • Other small businesses willing to take a risk showing that this city is worth the investment. This is the same foresight we need to keep our beautiful Main Street as a sustainable commercial area. There are many opportunities waiting for someone to seize them. I encourage and challenge anyone considering starting a business, or moving their business, to pick now while the market is ripe. This is the time. When I look back at 2009, I have to return to what I see as perhaps this community’s greatest strengths - the people. I believe the entire county is filled with some of the most caring and benevolent people in the state. We see that in the support for the Cancer Society’s Relay for Life, the Salvation Army Christmas Castle project, another United Way drive that exceeded its goal and in all the groups, service clubs, organizations and churches that see needs and fill them. Just one example is the Community Food Pantry administered by New Life Ministries. We have many churches that have some form of food and clothing assistance, including soup kitchens and Angel Food Ministries. This is but one of them. In 2002, the church was approached to take over serving Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners to those in need. At the same time, they were also beginning a food pantry and soup kitchen, a large task to undertake. Eight years later in 2009, they delivered 869 meals, and served 325 dinners during Thanksgiving and Christmas. Additionally more than 700 people were served through their food pantry. They purchased more than 218,000 pounds of food, distributed

78,000 pounds of produce, and received 5,000 pounds of deer meat from Farmers and Hunters Feeding the Hungry, and 20,000 pounds of food from Wal-Mart’s Feeding America Program. This is not a large church, but they are supported by many other churches and organizations. With the help of these groups, they are able to perform this monumental task. We have Pastor Mark Granger and some of his members here tonight. They represent not just his group but an entire community effort serving those less fortunate. I don’t take credit for how this game played out. After all, I wasn’t the dealer. Credit goes to all those who shared the yoke: the elected officials, city council, our safety service director, and the

departments saddled with the task of operating with reduced budgets. Credit also goes to all of the volunteers that serve on the many boards and committees and to those who contribute without the recognition or knowledge of others. Above all, I acknowledge our God, who I believe has blessed this community and its people. I’ll close with this familiar scripture from Jeremiah of which I am fully convinced: “For I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord, plans to PROSPER you and not to harm you, plans to give you HOPE and a FUTURE.” May God bless you keep you and cause His face to shine on you and this blessed city.Thank you. Mayor Steve Mercer

More than just ducks By Mark forTune

The twelfth annual Coshocton County Ducks Unlimited fundraising banquet was held at the Lake Park Pavilion on Saturday evening, Jan. 30. Following a meal catered by Schumaker Farms, local auctioneer Greg Rice combined his enthusiasm with the bidding attendees to raise money for conserving wetlands. Wes Enlow, who serves on the Coshocton County committee, paid $275 for a signed Beanie Wells OSU jersey, and had this to say, “I have been a chairman, or co-chairman for over 30 years. Although I don’t hunt ducks, I do hunt and I believe in the mission to protect over 100 species of birds and animals because if someone doesn’t do it – the wetlands will disappear in short order”. Josh Fisher, another committee member, stated, “The fact that all the money raised here tonight goes to help protect Ohio waterfowl and preserve wetlands is a good thing. Coshocton County Ducks Unlimited is one of the best in the state and we’re proud of that”. Greg Rice, who has been the auctioneer for the event since it started 12 years ago, remarked, “This is a great way to help hunters and

conservationists both – it allows people to see more wildlife. This is not just about hunting or hunters, but also about preserving the wetlands and grasslands for all outdoor enthusiasts.” Aaron Schmitt, who is the chairperson of the Coshocton County Ducks Unlimited Chapter, said, “I do appreciate all of the support we received for this year’s dinner and auction – it has been well attended and was a great banquet and auction that helps us send money to Ducks Unlimited. We appreciate all of the businesses and companies that donated items for the auction. Together we can continue to fund the conservation efforts of Ducks Unlimited.” For more information about the Coshocton County Ducks Unlimited Chapter, contact Schmitt at 740-623-8047. You can learn more about the national organization at www.ducks.org.

scholarship deadline fast approachingLouisville, KY: A Feb. 26 deadline is fast approaching for applications for Farm Credit Services of Mid-America (FCS) scholarships. FCS, a $16 billion agricultural lending cooperative serving farmers, agribusinesses and rural residents in Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana and Tennessee, is committed to educational success and is offering scholarships to college students enrolled in agricultural programs. Thirty-six scholarships – ranging in value from $1,000 to $1,500 – will be awarded to children of members of Farm Credit. This is in addition to awarding over $60,000 in scholarships to students attending

universities with ag colleges as well as the 4-H and FFA, bringing FCS’s total scholarship investment to over $100,000 annually. “We can think of no better way to invest in our future than through providing scholarships to students choosing to pursue careers in agriculture, fi nancing or ag business,” said Kelly Miller, Financial Service Offi cer with Farm Credit in Coshocton. “As agriculture continues to evolve, we want students to be at the forefront of the industry, and grow with it.” Through an initiative endorsed by the Farm Credit board, the scholarships are part of the cooperative’s stewardship program which involves returning greater value to rural America by increasing the association’s investment in education and youth activities. The scholarships are available to members, their dependents and spouses of the ag lending cooperative. Scholarships will be awarded in April based on academic record, leadership qualities, and community involvement. To apply, go online to www.e-farmcredit.com and click on Community Support to download the application. Or call 1-800-444-3276 to talk the closest offi ce about obtaining an application.
