The womens’ group is called “Common Cents” and the men’s group is called “Spare Change”. Stephen Snyder, Choir Director and Assistant Band Director at Ridgewood, said, “The choir usually performs with the chorale with December and May being very busy months. We perform for mother – daughter banquets, churches, etc. If you would like our group to perform, please call the school offi ce at 740-545-6345. Our performances are really a service to the community. Chris Fleming, who was enjoying the performance, said of the group, “I really enjoy it – it’s great for the community and the kids get to exhibit all their talents.

Mark’s Musings Mark’s Musings

I am devoting this week’s column to the upcoming American Cancer Society Relay for Life event. This event will be held at the Coshocton County Fair-grounds on Friday and Sat-urday, May 15 and 16, be-ginning at 5 pm on Friday evening. The weather will be ideal of course – as it al-ways is for this wonderful community event! This 24 hour event – from 6 pm on Friday through 6 pm Satur-day, is held to raise funds for cancer research. Can-cer deaths have been on the decline – and much of this success is attributed to the monies raised by Relay’s held around the world. The Coshocton County Relay for Life is something spe-cial. The many hours of volunteer effort, quilt mak-ing, cake baking, Miss Re-lay contestant efforts, fund raising and more make this

a premier event in our com-munity. Our hats must go off to applaud the numerous fund raisers held through-out Coshocton County during the past year. You know that an event is spe-cial when the planning for the next year begins almost immediately following the fi nal lap on the track. I would venture to say that these people – the people that volunteer their time, talents and energy to make the Relay possible – are one of the fi nest examples of people that live in our community. I doubt that there is anyone living in Coshocton County that has not been affected in some way by this dreaded dis-ease. Whether it is a close family member, friend, co-worker or neighbor, cancer affects us all. I would add that these people – the sur-vivors and their families – or those that gave it their all – are our true heroes. LeBron James – a super athlete – yes, a great per-son – yes, a hero, no. This weekend might be a great opportunity for all of us to see some true heroes. Let’s try to instill in our children and grandchildren what the

real meaning of a hero is. Wikipedia says that a hero (male) or heroine (female) refers to characters (fi ction-al or historical) that, in the face of danger and adver-sity or from a position of weakness, display courage and the will for self sacri-fi ce – that is, heroism – for some greater good, origi-nally of martial courage or excellence but extended to more general moral excel-lence.Sorry Manny Ramirez, that defi nition does not defi ne you. Sorry Holly-wood actors and actresses. Sorry race car drivers and professional athletes. Sure, we may like you, admire you and look up to you – but overall, our cancer survivors – and those that did not survive - are way higher up the list. Let’s keep them there. There are so many people that could be mentioned as he-roes in this fi ght. Take a look at the luminaria list of names in the Relay Pro-gram – those that are listed in the “In Honor Of” sec-tion and especially in the ‘In Memory Of” section. They are all heroes. And, as with each year, there are many names published this year that will bring tears to many eyes. Alana Branstetter, who would

have graduated this spring from Coshocton, and little Jenna Dawson, who fought a courageous and brave fi ght, just to name a few. There are so many others. Let’s make sure that this Relay is truly about our lo-cal heroes. Let’s Celebrate Hope – and remember - at this year’s Relay – know-ing that one day we will fi nd a cure for this dread-ful disease. As the survi-vors round the track – let’s give them a rousing round of applause. They deserve that and more.

On Friday, April 24, the Ridgewood High School Concert Choir traveled to Jackson High School in Canton for O.M.E.A. State Contest, and earned a Su-perior rating from each of the four judges. This rating of straight “One”s is the highest score possible at the State level. This is the only the second choir in school his-tory to earn a “One” at State contest, and the first to do so with both males and fe-males using the traditional soprano, alto, tenor, & bass voice division. The only other Ridgewood choir to receive a “One” at the State level was a women’s choir back in 1982.

Straight “One”s in-cludes the highest score pos-sible in sight-reading, where the choir performs a song they’ve never seen before for a judge. They are al-lowed four minutes to study the piece beforehand, when they are allowed to discuss amongst themselves, and receive instruction, but may not produce any pitches. The choir then sings the piece once through with piano, and are allowed one more minute to re-evaluate the piece in the same fashion as before. The concluding stage is that the choir then sings the piece “a cappella”, or without any instrumental support. Concert Choir is an au-

ditioned choir of forty-one students that meets dur-ing the regular school day. There are approximately ten singers on each of the four voice parts. This is the group’s fourth year in exis-tence, and also their fourth year going to contest. This was their second trip to the State level. The choir would like to thank the Ridgewood and West Lafayette commu-nities for all of their support over the past several years, and especially the Ridge-wood administrators. The choir also expressed appre-ciation and thanks to Mrs. Geneva Martin and Pastor Sue Chidley for their ac-companist help.

The 4th annual Brittany 5K run/walk benefit for Wil-liams Syndrome will be May 23 at 8:15 a.m. at Coshocton Lake Park. The benefit will raise awareness of Williams Syndrome and all proceeds will go to the Williams Syn-drome Organization. “Anyone can partici-pate,” said Nanci Rogers, Board of Trustees President for the Williams Syndrome Association, “You don’t have to be an athlete. We have parents pushing stroll-ers and some disabled mem-bers of the community. The point is to come and support a great cause.” Williams Syndrome is a rare congenital disorder which occurs in 1 in 7500 births and is based on a va-riety of physical and devel-opmental characteristics. In Williams Syndrome, there is a deletion of the elastin gene on chromosome 7.

People without this syn-drome have two elastin genes that are intact. However, in individuals with Williams Syndrome, one of these genes are missing. The elastin gene is a pro-tein which helps our arter-ies, lungs, blood vessels and heart tissue to expand and then retract to their original size. This helps doctors and parents to understand why children with Williams Syn-drome have some complica-tions with organs that require elastin. However, it is still not known how the absence of one gene affects the structure of these tissues in the body. That’s why research is vital. The race will start at 8:15 a.m. and walkers are to meet in the picnic shelter by the Pavilion. The first fifty applicants will receive a tee-shirt donated by Jeff Dren-nen Dealerships. Refresh-ments will also be provided

including bananas, granola bars and water supplied by Dr. John Smilo. The first prize winner of the race will receive a free annual Kids America Mem-bership. Winners of each age group will also receive a US Savings Bond donated by the local banks. Each participant receives a ticket when regis-tering and this ticket will be placed into a basket for door prizes, which will be drawn after the race is completed. Most of the door prizes are gift certificates. The morning will con-clude with a barbeque and picnic which will be provid-ed by Collins Meat Market and Buehler’s Food Market. Families with children who have Williams Syndrome have been invited to attend. Some families are coming from Michigan, Cincinnati, Indiana and Columbus. “This is a great way for

them to enjoy Coshocton County and to invite them into our community,” said Rogers. Participants can pre-register at CoshoctonTV.com or by e-mailing Nanci at [email protected]. Cost is $20. Or, participants can register the morning of the race from 7:30 – 8:00 a.m. for $25.Information about Williams Syndrome in this article was obtained from www.williams-syndrome.org and information about the elas-tin gene in this article was obtained from www.wsf.org from Dr. Howard Lenhoff’s essay, “So what is elastin?” He is a professor at Califor-nia University and is the Vice President of the Williams Syndrome Foundation.For more information on Wil-liams Syndrome, visit www.williams-syndrome.org.

Several local residents re-ceived awards for their service to victims of crime recently at a luncheon held during National Crime Victims’ Rights Week. The 2009 Certificates of Appreciation for Outstand-ing Service for Crime Vic-tims were awarded to Chief Terry Mardis of the West Lafayette Police Depart-ment; Andrea Sims, RN at CCMH; Amy Moore, At-torney at Law; and Tam-

my Grissinger, represent-ing Lincoln Elementary School.Emily Kobel is the Victim Witness Coordinator at the Coshocton Prosecutor’s Office. “I work as a victims advocate,” she said. “I can go to court with the victim and help make the experi-ence less intimidating.” Kobel coordinates the lo-cal Victims’ Rights Lun-cheon each year. She says the annual luncheon is de-

signed to bring a variety of community representatives together who work in the area of victim’s rights such as from the court system, Job & Family Services and other business profes-sionals. “There is always a designated Crime Victims’ Rights Week designated each year,” she explained. “I’m so pleased that we had nearly 70 people attend our luncheon.”The speaker for the event was Kelli Grace, Infor-mation Manager from the Ohio Attorney General’s Office Crime Victims As-sistance & Prevention Section. She shared her personal account as a child growing up as a victim of abuse. She stressed that engaging the community is the most important way to protect children from being victims of crime.

Because May is Older Americans month, the se-nior center in Coshocton will be having a Senior Day where seniors from the area can come and have some fun. On Tuesday, May 19, the Coshocton Senior Cen-ter invites local seniors for a morning filled with fun. Coshocton Memorial Hos-pital will be there to pro-vide free health screenings and blood pressure checks.

Flowers will also be on sale. Jerry Weaver will pro-vide entertainment and there will also be root beer floats for everyone who at-tends. Everyone can also participate in a hat contest. There will be prizes for the craziest, most colorful and most unique hat. Every year, about 150 – 200 people come to the event, although the senior center averages around 50

– 60 people daily. “It’s a good time for people who don’t normally come to the senior center to come and see our fa-cilities and spend some time together,” said Jamie Thomas. Senior Day will be on Tuesday, May 19 from 10 a.m. – noon at the Coshoc-ton Senior Center. A lunch will be served afterward.

Why We relayAccording to the American Cancer Soci-ety, an estimated 292,540 men and 269,800 women will be diagnosed with and die from cancer this year. The Relay for Life Organization is committed to decreasing that number and to one day soon, find a cure for what is quickly becoming an epidemic. Relay for Life is an event where people from all around the country walk for the cure. It is usually held at a school or a local park where different teams gather to walk around an area lit with luminaries which are dedicated in honor or memory of a per-son who has had cancer. One of those teams in the Coshocton area is Team Alana. Alana Branstetter was a young woman who was a victim of a cer-tain type of blood cancer and who would have been a graduating senior at Coshocton High School this year. Maxine Branstetter, Alana’s mother, said that the team started out with just family members, but then grew to approximately two hundred peo-ple, most of who were Alana’s classmates. “I am just overjoyed with the response from the community,” said Branstetter, “It’s all for a good cause. If they could just find a cure, then no other parent would have to go through what I went through. What I’m still going through.” The first year Branstetter walked with Relay for Life, her daughter had just be-come ill and was able to walk with her. Shortly afterwards, Alana went into remis-sion but unfortunately was re-diagnosed on her sixteenth birthday. Since then, Bran-stetter, along with her sister, Jolea Cognion, has become team captain of Team Alana. Georgia Summit is another local wom-an who has been deeply affected by cancer. She has been involved with Relay for Life for ten years and has been team captain of Team Family Matters for the passed three years. Her team has approximately fif-teen members and they are all family and friends. “Our whole family has really been

struck by cancer, so we do this to help raise money for the cure,” said Summit, “Our team motto is that we want to wipe out can-cer.” One year, Summit said that her husband made a toilet paper holder with a sign that said, ‘We want to wipe out cancer.’ They sold it at the Relay for Life along with a cake they had made. Practically her entire family has been diagnosed with cancer at some point in their lives. Summit’s mother and father both passed away from cancer, her hus-band has had five different types of skin cancer in his life, and Summit herself has had cancer. She has carsinoid cancer. Car-cinoid tumors are small and slow to grow which are mostly found in the gastrointesti-nal system, but can be found in other places as well. Since these tumors grow slowly, sometimes it could take years before the victim realizes there is a problem. “This type of cancer starts out slow-growing, but then can really take off,” said Summit, “It can be as small as a pinpoint but still cause so many problems.” Summit said she still has a small spot on her liver and takes injections every day to help control her cancer. She has the same

type of cancer that Wendy’s Dave Thomas had and even goes to the same doctor. Another team fighting for the cause is Team Hart to Heart. This is their first year with Relay for Life and has about fifty peo-ple on the team with Jamie Thomas as the team’s captain. The team is named after Thomas’s father and cousin who both had ‘hart’ in their last name. Her father was taken by prostate cancer while her cousin had lung cancer. The team is made up of family and close friends and Thomas developed the team by going to Relay for Life meetings and learning a lot from other teams, such as fundraising ideas. In March, Thomas had a pancake breakfast and bake sale where she raised $1,000 for the Cancer Society. There are so many ways to help out with this organization. Of course, money is always needed for further research, but people in the community can give their time as well. For example, Maxine Branstetter said that so many people have given their time to Team Alana, and it really means a lot just to know that people care. Terri Owens has made a quilt that will be raffled off during the Relay and all proceeds will go toward the team. Linda Weber will be singing and selling CDs with all proceeds going toward Team Alana. Gary’s Muffler Shop has helped them with candy bar sales and KFC has always been there to help with Team Alana and will be walking with them this year. Branstetter’s father, who is a cancer survivor, will be playing mu-sic and her brother will be playing music as well, all for the cause and to honor the memory of Alana. “I’m just so surprised at the number of people who came out to support us,” said Branstetter, “And we just want everyone to know that Alana is still in our hearts and that she’ll be with us on graduation day.” Coshocton’s Relay for Life will be May 15 and 16 from 6 p.m. on Friday to 6 p.m. on Saturday at the fairgrounds. Sta-tistics about cancer were obtained from the American Cancer Society at www.cancer.org. Information about carsinoid cancer was obtained from the Carsinoid Cancer Foundation at www.carsinoid.org.

Do you have memories of Roscoe? Do you have old pictures of Roscoe tucked away? Would you like to share your memories and pictures with others? Then come to the Roscoe Village Visitor Center on May 17th at 2:00 p.m. for a Roscoe Round Table. All year long Roscoe Village Foundation is celebrating its 40th Anniversary and May’s event features a Roscoe Round Table Dis-cussion: a gathering for folks to share stories and pictures of old Roscoe. The Roscoe Round Table

will be exciting as folks recall stories, events and the people that were af-filiated with Roscoe be-fore the restoration as well as the people who helped with the restoration of the buildings that exist today. There were many people who also worked for the Village. Charley Williams was a dominant figure in early Roscoe and Rebecca Hook lived in Roscoe as a busi-ness woman in the late 1800’s. Bill Smart was captain of the barge “The Stranger” and Jackson Wil-liams took up residence in

Roscoe in 1835. Do you remember Tinker Dobson or meeting in the Jackson Township Hall for FFA? Then there were numerous stores: Leatherman Clock and Candle, McConnell’s Hardware, Cloverleaf Mar-ket, and Capt. Miskimens Place. Dig out your old pho-tographs and sharpen your memories. Roscoe Vil-lage hopes that many of you will join them on May 17th at 2:00pm at the Visi-tor Center. Call 622-7644 to RSVP or for more infor-mation.

The Coshocton Footlight Players will be presenting performances of Lerner and Loewe’s “Camelot” at 8:00 p.m. on May 14, 15, 16, 21, 22 and 23 at the Triple Locks Theatre. Directed by Shane Pyle and starring Roger Foster as King Arthur and new-comer Samantha Servais as Queen Guinevere, the performance has over 40 talented people including actors, actresses, orches-tra, lighting, sound and backstage crew. Pyle said, “I feel so fortunate to be working with all of these people. We live in such a small community and are blessed with talent. Our goal is not only to teach but also to let people have fun”. Camelot is Pyle’s seventh production in eight years at the Triple Locks Theatre. Dave Osso, in the role of Sir Dinadan, said, “It’s a fabulous play be-cause of the history – it has a lot of allure and all of the things medieval, includ-ing some very challenging roles. Roger Foster, in the lead male role of King Ar-thur, stated, “This is chal-lenging. It’s a popular mu-

sical. People have ideas of Richard Harris and Rich-ard Burton. Another icon is King Arthur himself – a figure shrouded in mystery. People in the audience have their own expecta-tions – you may miss it by a mile but you want the au-dience to come along with you. King Arthur is a con-summately decent man and

encounters circumstances that are insurmountable yet still finds a way to be a shining example. The great reward of all this is to work with wonderful people and make new friends. This is a level of intimacy that if you don’t do it – it’s really hard to understand the depths of friendships that come from this circumstance”.

Samantha Servais, who hails from Cambridge, and has the lead female role as Queen Guinevere, said, when asked why Coshoc-ton and why this character, “The chance to play this role is a one in a lifetime chance. I’ve always loved this musical. I’ve found through this experience that Coshocton has a won-derful community theatre. I’ve done a lot of commu-nity theatre and this group is one of the best I’ve ever worked with. Even though this is a small facility, there is a wonderful spirit here – you can feel it when you walk through the doors – and that comes out in everything they do. I feel blessed to work with ev-eryone in this group”. Hav-ing witnessed just a couple of the opening scenes on full dress rehearsal night, this writer can tell you that you will be blessed to see this performance. For tick-ets call 740-622-2959. You can also visit the website at www.footlightplayers.com for more information. Due to the high volume of sales, two Thursday performanc-es have been added – on May 14 and May 21.

Canal Quilters hold show

With over 100 participants, the annual youth fishing derby, held at Lake Park on a sunny Saturday morning, was an enthusiastic gath-ering for children, parents and grandparents wish-ing to pass along the skill of fishing to the younger generation. The Coshocton County Sportsmen’s As-sociation currently boasts over 550 members and Ralph Dickerson, presi-dent since 1986 – said,

“The Isaac Walton league used to do this, we took it over when they folded – we’ve done this for around 20 years now. Our goal is to keep the kids interested in fishing – the kids are the future of fishing. Not many parents have time today to take their kids fishing – but a lot of people do set this day aside. We’re glad to be able to continue this tradi-tion for the community”.

The “Mighty Six Plus 1” team of all freshmen defeated the Dudes in Action team and claimed a title for a second straight year. Taran Martin exclaimed, “I feel like a winner!” Michael Adams and Jason Hammond both said, “It’s cool that a team of freshmen beat a group of seniors”. Pictured from left to right are; Michael Adams, Austen Guthrie, Jordan Bradford, Colt Kelso, Jason Hammond, Taran Mar-tin and Shawn Walters. (Beacon photo by Mark Fortune)

Theresa Scheetz, co-chair of the Coshocton Canal Quil-ters Butternut and Blue quilt show, said, “We certainly want to thank the Coshocton High School football team – they’re a lot of fun – and as long as you give them cupcakes – they’re happy! The football team helped install the hangers that the quilts are displayed on for the show, which was held at Agents Auction Gallery on May 1, 2 and 3. All kidding aside, Scheetz reported that over 100 people had attend-ed the show (as of Saturday morning) and she stated that, “Quilting has been through many ebbs and flows – but is currently enjoying an up-surge – I think because you can share things and the in-ternet has also made a big difference. And although

it’s a very social thing – you can do this alone or in a group – quilting is also ar-tistic, and quilts make great gifts and they also keep you warm! The artistic and the social networking is really what it’s about, and getting together with a couple of your friends to shop-hop is a lot of fun. The significance of this particular show is partly because the manufac-turers are currently stressing making Civil War type fab-rics. This is also Abraham Lincoln’s 200th birthday so that obviously has a lot of historical significance. We also have a lot of Civil War artifacts here at the show”. Marilyn Hothem said, “This is my first year in the guild. I’m having a lot of fun get-ting back into quilting”.

Pictured is Mitzi Vance, next to her first place themed quilt. The quilt design was based on Louisa May Alcott’s “Little Women”. Vance said, “I like the story quilts and the Civil War has always been one of my favorite historical periods. I saw this design in a book and I thought it was different”. Vance has been in the local guild since 2004. (Beacon photo by Mark Fortune)

Sportsmen’s Association hosts youth fishing derby

Pictured at the annual Youth Fishing Derby at Lake Park is Brooke Mellor (age 11), the daughter of Bret and Faye Mel-lor. Mellor was brought to the event by Janice Reigle and Bill Shaw, who said Brooke, “wanted to fish the tournament. She’s had a few bites so far”. Mellor had positioned herself on top of a fallen tree that extended a few feet into Lake Park, presumably a good spot to catch fish. (Beacon photo by Mark Fortune)

The second annual River View Black Bear Fest, “A Celebration of Excel-lence” is a day designed to recognize and celebrate the many wonderful ac-complishments of River View students and faculty. River View schools have received an “Excellent” ranking from the Ohio De-partment of Education for the past three years. With everything from a dunking tank to tractors, car show, petting zoo, bands, choirs, Dominos’ Pizza, games, inflatable’s, horse rides, dodge ball and much in be-tween, the near 70 degree temperature combined with a strong breeze for a beau-tiful Saturday event. Shan-non Sammons (8th grade) and Brittany Wood (11th grade) both said about the event, ‘It’s a lot of fun. We’re going to go line dancing and watch dodge

ball after we finish eating”. Wood added, “I enjoy this – it’s a great family event and a chance for people to see the school and the ac-tivities that we have here at River View”. Warsaw principal Frank Polen, who drew quite a crowd at the dunking booth (Polen was the dunkee!) said, “It’s for a great cause. Anything we can do to help is a good thing”. Donations from the dunking booth were going to the River View Relay for Life team. Polen con-tinued, “It’s all in good fun. If someone gets their life saved because of this, it’s all worth it”. 10 year old Jake Grossman, who attends Warsaw Elementa-ry and had just knocked his principal Mr. Polen into the dunk tank, said, “It felt good!” He’s (Polen) one of the best principals I’ve ever had”.

Lincoln Elementary School recently recognized the award winners for their bookmark design contest. The contest was held in conjunction with the Ac-celerated Reader Program/ Right to Read Week and the Scholastic Book Fair. This year’s theme was "Lincoln Reads With Its Heroes". Several local dignitaries were on hand in the gymna-sium to present the awards to the winners from each grade and the overall grand prize-winner. On hand were Sheriff Tim Rogers; "Din-

go" the K-9 and his partner Deputy Dave Stone; Joe Rice, a representative from the Ohio Army National Guard and Todd Shroyer, Assistant Director of the local EMS. Greg Coffman represented the Novelty Advertising Company and presented the grand prize-winning bookmark. Novelty contributed posters of each of the winning bookmarks, awards and printed copies of the grand prize-winning bookmark to be distrib-uted to the entire school. Each of the grade winners

was awarded ten Scholas-tic Book Fair dollars. The grand prize-winner was awarded an additional 20 Book Fair dollars. Novelty Advertising also presented a large vinyl poster, which contained prints of each of the seven winning book-marks, to the school. Judges for the contest were Sheriff Tim Rogers, Ernie Snyder (Fire Dept./ Sheriff’s Dept.), and Todd Shroyer (EMS). Jackie Jackson, Judy Cor-bett and Karen Simpson coordinate the Accelerated Reader Program/ Right To Read Week and Elaine Smith is chairperson for the Scholastic Book Fair. Mrs. Francie Berg is the princi-pal at Lincoln. Mrs. Jackie Jackson said, "In the past the kids were given bookmark-ers that were purchased and already printed. We wanted to go a step further this year. The kids just came off of the Ohio Achievement Testing and this was a nice way to have some fun and reward them for their efforts". The week also included activi-ties like the Read-A-Thon in which the kids collect pledges for the books that they read during the week and special dress-up days for a charge of 25 cents each day. The money collected

will go into the Accelerated Reader Fund for prizes and activities. The students also received visits from some of our local "heroes" rep-resenting the Sheriff’s De-partment, Fire Department, EMS, Military, and church-es. These visitors were able to spend some time with the students, encourage the stu-dents to keep reading, and share some of their own fa-vorite books.

Pictured are the grade winners of the Lincoln Elementary School bookmark design contest. Front row, from left to right are; Reigan Wakely (kindergarten), Nequisha Hunt (first grade), Alaina Lentz (second grade), Aubrey Locke (third grade), back row, left to right; Peter Madsen (gym teacher), Cindy Wang (fourth grade), Lauren Hire (fifth grade) and Mad-eline Hire (sixth grade).

Twenty four senior mem-bers of the Coshocton Youth Chorale prepared for their final appearance with the Coshocton Com-munity Choir on Sunday, April 26 at Coshocton High School. Members of The Coshocton Commu-nity Choir, under the d i r ec t i on of Mr. C h a r l e s S n y d e r , presented their an-nual spring c o n c e r t , “ T h e M o r n i n g Trumpet” at Coshoc-ton High School. The Co-shocton Youth Chorale performs with The Co-shocton Community Choir and is under the guidance of Jan Rice. Twenty four seniors are represented in this year’s chorale and Rice said of the young men and women, “They are welcoming of new members and they’re good leaders. They look forward

to seeing each other every week. They all are all busy kids and they work at it on their own – they’re all dedicated young people!” Lizz Share, one of the se-nior’s, said of her experi-ence, “This is my third year - it’s amazing that all

of us kids from the differ-ent school districts can get together – the rivalry goes away – we’re just like a big family. Mr. Snyder is like a Dad to us. He tells us a lot of life stories. It’s been a phenomenal experience and I wouldn’t trade it for the world”. Dan Baker, another senior, said, “My experience has been absolutely amazing.

It’s totally different from any other chorale group that I’ve been in . . . You really form a special bond with everyone else, which lends itself to a better sound because it blends so perfectly”. The concert will in-

clude a wide range of songs including c lass ical , s a c r e d , Broadway and pop. The youth chorale is c o n c l u d -ing its sev-enth sea-son and is

comprised of high school students from Coshocton, Ridgewood, River View, Caldwell, Newcomer-stown, Licking Heights and two home high schools. The conductor is Mr. Charles R. Snyder and the accompanist is Dickie Barrick. Auditions are held each fall for the youth chorale.

CORRECTIONThere is an addition and correction to a photo caption that appeared on page 14A of the April 29 Beacon. Dawn Hammond is the mother of Dalton Hammond (pictured). Richie Hammond, father, is deceased.


Textile art began thousands of years ago as an embel-lishment for costume and blanket, always bound to function, setting and custom. Today these elements serve more as a springboard for an art form that flaunts 21st century possibilities. The Johnson-Humrickhouse Mu-seum, in Coshocton, Ohio, is pleased to present an exhibi-tion of innovative textile art May 16 – Aug. 9. Pushing the Surface features 24 art quilts by artists from across the United States as well as Israel and Ireland. No longer fit for a bed, the art quilt has the nerve to be any size or shape and more often than not, has thrown symmetry to the wind. These pieces may be painted, dyed, laser printed, appliquéd or fused. The techniques are as varied as the subject matter, which is as varied as the effect. What they do share in com-mon is the basic quilt feature of joining at least two layers by quilting. Pushing the Surface, a biennial event at the mu-

seum, is in its sixth year. An ample number of works by Ohio artists is always showcased. This year’s par-ticipants include Sharon Bell (Shaker Heights), Dorothy Bush (Columbus), Geor-gie Cline (Columbus), Britt Friedman (Oberlin), The-resa Heaton (Fremont), John Lefelholz (Athens), June O’Neil (Cleveland Heights), and Sonja Henney Tugend (Wooster). Lefelholz’s work, which is usually a satirical comment on some malady in our American culture, is en-titled Robbing Peter to Pay Paul. No doubt this piece will continue in the same vein. For a more pictorial approach, Georgie Cline’s Sciota River XIV will evoke appreciation of the natural beauty found in Ohio. The remaining fifteen artists emanate from other states and countries. Flo-ridian Kathy Weaver will amaze viewers with her Dy-namic Systems. A fantasy piece, the design resembles the complex intertwining of internal organs as well as the

bright colors and diversity of forms found in a coral reef. The glowing colors and fab-ulous shapes make this quilt an unforgettable piece. Jane Lloyd’s piece, Spiral Hori-zons, is composed of many, many rows and columns of spirals in a wide spectrum of colors. Overlaying the spirals are circles, vertical lines and broken horizontal lines. The complexity of this piece along with its hypnotic charisma is testimony to the aesthetic and technical abil-ity of this artist from Ire-land. Michiganite Elizabeth Busch’s Echo is also an ee-rie piece. In each of its thirty squares are glowing white “balls” that seem to float off the surface. Concentric circles are quilted in the cen-ter of the piece, creating an inward focus for the piece. Pushing the Surface‘s extraordinary quilts make for a spirited and unforgetta-ble exhibit. In addition to the Montgomery Gallery where Pushing the Surface is fea-tured, the museum displays its permanent collections

in three galleries: Historic Ohio, American Indian and Asian. Mechanical musi-cal machines are currently on display in a fifth gallery. The Ohio Arts Council helps fund this museum with state tax dollars to encourage eco-nomic growth, educational excellence and cultural en-richment for all Ohioans. The Johnson-Humrick-house Museum is open daily from noon to 5:00 P.M. May through October and is lo-cated at 300 N. Whitewom-an Street, in Historic Roscoe Village, Coshocton, Ohio. A restored canal-era town sited along the former Ohio & Erie Canal, Roscoe Village offers many attractions. Cos-tumed interpreters lead tours through the restored build-ings, and numerous shops are situated within the Vil-lage.

tween $12,950 and $31,080. Depend-ing on your family size, these figures will be either more or less. 3. Your willingness to participate as a partner with Habitat.
