In Memory of David (Randy) Gray

March 20, 1972 - March 19, 2001

I know a place where the sun is like gold,And the cherry blooms burst with snow;

And down underneath is the loveliest nook,Where the four-leaf clovers grow.

One leaf is for hope, and one is for faith,And one is for love, you know,

But God put another in for luck–If you search, you will find where they grow.

But you must have hope, and you must have faith,You must love and be strong, and so,

If you work, if you wait, you will find the placeWhere the four-leaf clovers grow.

- Ella Higginson

Barn at spring Acres perfect for any occasionOut on Township Road 341, just four miles north of Warsaw, stands an old, rustic barn owned by Elaine and Ron Farie. This 100-year-old structure has been completely renovated and restored into a beautiful, picturesque place perfect for weddings, social gatherings, reunions, or whatever the occasion may be. It has even been used as a place of worship for two Easter sunrise services. The Barn at Spring Acres Farm is a peaceful setting away from the hustle and bustle of life. It accommodates 125 guests and boasts three hand-made wrought iron chandeliers which hang down gracefully from the ceiling, emanating a soft glow from the lights. The peaceful view from inside looks down on a bridge across a babbling spring-fed stream. Outside is a country paradise with trees, flowers, and plenty of space. There is also a fire ring, plenty of room for walking, room for outdoor horseshoes, a place to play Frisbee, and adequate parking. Elaine is a registered nurse and loves the country and gardening. The barn was originally re-furbished for her youngest daughter’s wedding. She has maintained the landscape with a lot of hard work and love and she enjoys the beauty and the history of the barn. The Barn at Spring Acres Farm will be opening soon for the season on May 1. To book an event, contact Elaine or Ron Farie at (740) 824-3749 or visit their Web site at www.barnatspringacres.com. The barn is open for events until Oct. 31 and is located at 28643 Township Road 341 in Warsaw.

‘seussical’ presented at coshocton High school

The spring musical returned in a big way to Coshocton City Schools this past weekend with the presentation of “Seussical the Musical” by students from the junior and senior high. Kris Hardesty, who directed the musical, said, “It’s been eight years since there has been an actual performance here on the stage that was actually done by Coshocton students. Some of our students participate with the Coshocton Players, but this is the first done entirely by Coshocton students in several years. It’s pretty exciting. I’ve been really, really appreciative of the kids’ willingness to just do whatever it takes. There’s nothing else like theater. We’re finding that out, and the kids are finding out that live performance is entirely different than anything else. In theater, you never know from night to night. For them to experience the art form of theater is important.” Nathan Lain, who portrayed the Cat in the Hat, said, “In the show, I play a number of different characters, so I have to get out of my character as the Cat and change costumes a lot. It’s good to have theater here. I moved here from a school that had theater and so it’s nice that it

started up again. The audience was a good crowd last night (Friday). They caught a lot of the little jokes that I threw in there. I’m enjoying it.” Alex Lawrence, who was cast as Horton the elephant, said, “Horton is kind of a reserved character that doesn’t enjoy being the center of attention, but he is the only one who can hear the “Whos” and he’s the only one who can help them. The other animals are ganging up on him and he doesn’t like that, but it falls on him to be the responsible one and save this little planet. I love the music, the music is amazing. It has a lot of snappy tunes, some fast paced ones and also some lullabies. I’m unimaginably excited.” Stacey Drennen, whose son Connor was cast as JoJo, commented on Friday night’s performance, “I would say that it was absolutely amazing. Fabulous. The kids

How lucky In this scene from Act 1 of “Seussical the Musical”, Horton (Alex Lawrence) has been talk-ed into sitting with Mayzie’s (Jenna Kreider) egg. The two-act musical has music by Stephen Flaherty and lyrics by Lynn Ahrens.

Higher education scholarships available

“Act as if what you do makes a difference. It does.”

- William James

Memorable Quotes

Three graduating seniors at River View High School will be awarded a scholarship by the Warsaw Alumni Association. The purpose of these scholarships is to partially defray the cost of attending higher education. The Association will be presenting the 27th $500 Alumni Scholarship and the 16th Clodaugh Brenneman Cline $1,000 scholarship. In addition, a $500 agricultural scholarship will be awarded in memory of Alton and Mozell Kirch of the Tiverton Area. Scholarship application forms are available in Mrs. Hemming’s Room at River View High School. Applications for the Cline Scholarship can be found online at the Coshocton Foundation in Coshocton. Selection criteria for these scholarships are that candidates must be a graduating senior at River View High School with a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 for the Alumni Award and the Cline Award, and a 2.5 for the Kirch Scholarship; have attended Warsaw Elementary School; have been accepted at an accredited institution of higher education; have participated in community, school and work activities, as well as demonstrated leadership qualities and posses good moral character. The Warsaw Alumni Scholarship is funded by contributions from Alumni, former teachers and friends of the community. Many contributions are made in memory of past graduates, teachers, administrators, or friends who have

attended Warsaw High School or friends of the Warsaw community. Any person desiring to contribute to this fund should send contributions to Jim Lawrence, Chairperson/ Warsaw Alumni Scholarship Fund/Box 166/Warsaw, Ohio 43844. Checks or money orders should be made payable to the Warsaw Alumni Scholarship Fund. The Cline Scholarship is funded by family and friends of Clodaugh Brenneman Cline, a 1937 graduate of Warsaw High School. Contributions to this award should be sent to the Coshocton Foundation/220 S. 4th St/Coshocton, Ohio 43812, in care of the Cline Scholarship Program. The Kirch Agricultural Scholarship is funded by the family and friends of Alton and Mozell Kirch, who dedicated their lives to agricultural pursuits in western Coshocton County. Contributions to this fund may be sent to Jim Lawrence at the above Warsaw address. If a family, individual or class would like to make a memorial scholarship in memory of a friend or loved one, the Scholarship Committee has established a minimum of $500 for an award. Since 1992, the Alumni Association has awarded $44,775 in scholarships to River View graduates. This amount reflects the generosity of alumni and friends of the Warsaw community. The scholarship committee would like to thank all who have contributed to this program.

Every so often we receive a wake-up call of sorts. Many, if not most of these come in the form of a tragedy or natural disaster. The devastating earthquake in Japan followed by a tsunami brings to mind just how fragile life can be and how, with the advent of 24-hour news access, we share in global disasters. Of course, the news channels will be filled with pundits proclaiming that this is exactly the reason why nuclear energy is so dangerous and should be banned from the planet. I am confident that the Japanese will do all they can to rectify this situation and have taken the necessary precautions in advance. But there is only so much you can do when an earthquake hits that is among the top five in recorded history. And while this situation is certainly not light-hearted, I had to reflect on my youth just a bit when a news anchor reported that her Japanese counterparts were wearing helmets at their desks. Why would that cause a reflection in the midst of a terrible tragedy, you might ask? Lest you consider me callous or crass, (I am neither as most know) a good friend and buddy that I grew up with is celebrating a certain birthday this week. You know, one of those milestones in life. He will remain nameless for now. As youngsters, we spent many a Friday and Saturday night watching Godzilla tear up Tokyo whilst the citizens of Japan sported those plastic helmets. Or what seemed to be plastic anyway. Now I know why they had them in the first place. So that is the image my

mind conjured up when I heard those words. It does seem that the world is responding quickly to the disaster in Japan, with aid and search and rescue teams promised or already on the ground from America, Europe and other countries. And this is how it should

be. A global response is necessary and required for a disaster of this level. Locally, the U.S. census data reports that our county lost several hundred in population over the past ten years. Most of us know that our community is not growing in population so how do we ensure that we are “right-sized” for our tax base, infrastructure, education, social services and other community needs? Our city and county leaders are heading in the right direction with more rural access to water and sewer, broadband, discussions on consolidation of services and establishing goals for our community. Might we here at The Beacon be so bold as to suggest that a “Vision 2020” plan be established for our community? Maybe it already exists. Some questions to ponder, “What might Coshocton County look like in the year 2020?” “Will we grow or continue a slow decline in population?” What do you think? If state and or federal budget constraints won’t allow for expansion of the much needed four lane highway, (in our opinion it is number one) what would our number two goal be? Your opinion is welcome. Send an email to [email protected].

Hopewell school celebrates dd month at breakfastBy BetH scott

Hopewell Schools celebrated the abilities of individuals with disabilities Wednesday, March 9 at their third annual DD Breakfast. The breakfast was an official kick-off to March’s DD Month. Breakfast started at 7:30 a.m. and the staff from Help Me Grow provided a breakfast of fruit, Danish, muffins, coffee, and juice. At 8 a.m., Steve Oster, superintendent of Hopewell Schools, welcomed everyone to the breakfast. “I think for us, DD awareness month is really all about celebrating the abilities of individuals with disabilities,” he said. “Our theme this year is ‘Together’….One of them is together, we inspire possibilities. People have dreams and people have wishes, and as a community, we’re able to meet those dreams and make things happen for people with disabilities and that’s really important.” He then introduced Casey Claxton, President of the DD Board who officially welcomed

everyone to the event and personally thanked the staff at Hopewell and their partner organizations for all their hard work and dedication. Guest speakers for the event were Mike, Chasity and Mattilyn Clarke and Karl Murray. The Clarke family spoke first about their daughter, Mattilyn, who is currently a part of the Help Me Grow program. Mattie will be a year old next month and suffers from spina bifida. Mattie’s doctors told her parents she would never be able to stand, crawl, or walk and would have other problems as she grew older. “We were blindsided by it,” Mike said. “We had absolutely no idea what to do and if it wasn’t for this program (Help Me Grow), we’d still be in the dark and Mattie’s development

wouldn’t be where she is today. The doctors would be right. She wouldn’t be able to pull herself up. She wouldn’t be able to crawl. She wouldn’t be able to stand. Her fine motor skills and cognitive skills are just advanced because of their knowledge.” “Without Help Me Grow,” Chasity said, “she wouldn’t be as far as she is developmentally because they know exercises that help strengthen her muscles that are maybe weakened. They’ve helped her crawl and walk.” Karl Murray spoke next on how Hopewell has helped him become more independent in his life. He worked at Hopewell and Pretty Products and is now working at Forest Hill Lake. He plays basketball for the Hopewell Indians and has recently moved out on his own. After his speech, Mr. Oster commented that Karl is a great role model and will hopefully inspire others to

follow in his footsteps. The County Commissioners then presented the 2011 DD Month Proclamation to the Clarke family. The proclamation is to encourage everyone to learn and acknowledge individuals with developmental disabilities and to support opportunities for those individuals. Before closing, Mr. Oster presented five awards to people in the community who have helped or been an inspiration to the students at Hopewell. Volunteer of the Year award went to Lille Corder who helps with the Special Olympics and Hopewell Indians basketball games. Ciarra Ramsey was awarded the Youth Volunteer award. She is a senior at River View High School and is an assistant volunteer coach with the Hopewell Indians team. The Distinguished Service Award went to David Roderick, who drives bus for Hopewell and takes photos at their events.

“I really haven’t gotten awards and it’s just an awesome thing to be recognized for something you love to do so much,” David said, “because I love working here. I love being a bus driver here. Everybody’s so encouraging here. The staff is awesome, and it’s just a great honor and I’m just blessed.” The Support Professional Award was awarded to Carolyn Shustar, who provides direct care services to individuals in Coshocton County and Hopewell contacts her, sometimes on short notice, to fill in for others. She goes above and beyond her duty. The last award went to Malinda Wagner. She works at the RHDD building and is always polite, positive and ready to work. She hardly ever misses a day. Mr. Oster ended the breakfast by thanking everyone for attending. The students at Hopewell had also made special treats that were available for the guests on their way out.

3rd annual Guns vs. Hoses to benefit local deputyBy BetH scottThe third annual Guns vs. Hoses charity

basketball game will be Saturday, March 26 at Kids America at Noon. Each year, the game raises money for people in need in the community. The first year, money was raised

for a local fireman diagnosed with brain cancer. Last year’s beneficiary was the American Red Cross, and this year, 100% of monies raised will go toward Deputy Jo Kobel, who has been recently diagnosed with breast cancer. Jo said she’s doing very well after a set back with an infection prevented her from starting chemotherapy. The cancer was able to be removed, but her doctors recommended four rounds of chemotherapy just to be safe. She was diagnosed with stage two cancer. “I’m overwhelmed,” she said about being the beneficiary for the Guns vs. Hoses game, “I just can’t say enough about how the community pulls together. I didn’t realize I had so many friends.” Jo returned to work Monday, March 14. She has been with the sheriff’s department for ten years. There will be other activities at the game as well such as a 50/50 drawing and a raffle. Shannon Devore said that many local businesses have shown their generosity and donated items for the raffle. The concession stand will also be open with foods that have been donated and will include pop, water, pizza, shredded chicken and Sloppy Joe’s. The winner of the game will be awarded a trophy. For the past two years, the sheriff’s department has been victorious over the fire department. “It’s just something for us to do to get

together,” said Shannon, “In addition to helping the community, we wanted to bring the community together with a fun event.” The halftime show will be by Miss Jennifer’s Dance Studio Elite Dance Force. Admission to the game and food at the concession stand are by donation. Mail-in donations can be sent to Home Loan Savings Bank.

Johnson-Humrickhouse museum to host class on newark Holy stonesGlenn Beck of FOX News has a theory that connects the Great Pyramid of Giza with the Newark Earthworks, and by association, the Newark Holy Stones. Found in ancient mounds in the Newark area in the 1860s, the Newark Holy Stones refer primarily to two carved and polished stones bearing Hebrew inscriptions. One, the Keystone, is shaped like an arrowhead and inscribed on each of its four sides is an attribute of God. The second, referred to as the Decalogue Stone, features an image of Moses and a list of the Ten Commandments. The discovery seemed to confirm a 19th century theory about the origins of the moundbuilders, that they were not Native Americans but a remnant of the lost tribes of Israel. Further examination of the stones by archaeologists and Hebrew scholars in the 1800s rebutted this claim, asserting that the stones were a fraud. The Newark “Holy Stones”: Science, Politics, and Religion in 19th Century Ohio will be offered on March 26 at 3 p.m. at the Johnson-Humrickhouse Museum where the Newark Holy Stones are displayed. Brad Lepper, Curator of Archaeology for the Ohio Historical Society, will present the 19th century context and suggest the political and social motives that may have been behind their creation. Beck is not the only one to purport the stones’ authenticity. A number of people believe there is growing archaeological evidence that shows that European and Mid-Eastern peoples visited and even settled in the New World long before Columbus. The Johnson Brothers, founders of the Johnson-Humrickhouse Museum, purchased the stones not long after they were discovered. Ever since the museum opened in 1931, the

Newark Holy Stones have been a draw for many visitors. Dr. Lepper is an occasional Visiting Professor of Sociology and Anthropology at Denison University. His primary areas of interest include North America’s Ice Age peoples, Ohio’s magnificent mounds and earthworks, and the history of Archaeology. Noteworthy research includes excavation of the Burning Tree mastodon and discovery of the Great Hopewell Road, featured in a recent documentary. What are the “Holy Stones?” Are they

evidence of pre-Columbian visitations by ancient Hebrews? If they are clever frauds, what were the perpetrators’ motives? You will enjoy seeing these objects of contention and parting in the discussion. This program is sponsored by the Ohio Humanities Council, a state affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities. Since 1972, the Council has provided leadership, resources and financial support for the humanities in Ohio.

1951March 18th, 1951

The Coshocton High School musicians made a clean sweep when they all took home superiors at the Solo and Ensemble contest in Mansfield. Both vocalists and instrumentalists received a superior rating in every classification. It was the finest showing that had ever taken place at a district music competition before 1951. As a result, all the instrumentalists went to state finals at Ohio Wesleyan in April and all the vocalists took part in the district contest in Newark.

1961March 19th, 1961

Five of Mr. and Mrs. Tom Cartons’ six children were named members of the honorary Dayton Dolphins, a boy and girl swim team recognized as one of the best swim clubs by the Amateur Athletic Union. The Cartons, formerly of Coshocton, now lived near Dayton so their young children could swim competitively for the team. The children, ranging in age from 5 – 12, had proven themselves some of the best swimmers on the team. Since they joined, both boys and one of the girls had won a total of 27 ribbons, 12 of which were for first place. Against the latest opponent, Tommy Carton was the only triple winner of the event, taking first in the 80-yard individual medley, 40-yard backstroke, and 100-yard freestyle. He was the only record holder for the Dolphins thus far in the 11 – 12 age group.

1971March 20th, 1971

It was the first time sixth grade teacher Karen Drudy said she saw her students attack their science fair projects with such gusto and enthusiasm. The theme for that year’s science fair was pollution and its effects on the earth, and the kids jumped at this idea. Some students created models of parks and campgrounds, trying to imagine what it would look like without all the litter. Others created oil wells and explained how just one drop in a small stream can contaminate the water for miles. The students not only pointed out pollution problems, but came up with solutions. One group turned a useless river into a working river by building a dam, made out of clay, and irrigation pipes, or straws. Signs at the science fair read, “We dislike pollution. It’s killing our wildlife. It’s killing our plants. It’s killing our earth.”

1981March 21st, 1981

The children at Coshocton County Head Start received a special visit from the farm yard. A representative from the Coshocton County Humane Animal Treatment Association came by to visit the kids, bringing with him a small piglet, a two-day old lamb, a hamster and a kitten. He talked to the children about being nice to animals as they all sat in a circle taking turns playing with their new-found furry friends. At the end of the day, all the kids agreed that the piglet was a “real ham”.

coshocton goodwill in need of donationsBy BetH scottWith the economy in

the state it’s in and everyone tightening their belts financially, many people are starting to pick and chose which charities they donate to. While all charities benefit others, Goodwill in Coshocton benefits people in this community directly. With spring cleaning just around the corner, now is a great time to donate unwanted gently-used items to the Coshocton Goodwill. Because there are so many other competitors vying for donations, the Coshocton Goodwill has suffered tremendously. The decline started in December, and according to Angela Moore, retail store manager, the store struggled in January and February. With the warm weather quickly approaching, Moore is hoping that people will begin cleaning out their homes and donating to Goodwill. She said that most people come and donate when warm weather approaches, but this year, that hasn’t happened yet. One hundred percent of all donated items stay here in Coshocton. If an item has been housed in the Coshocton Goodwill store for too long, it will then be transferred to another store location. Right now, the donations at the Coshocton location are so low, the Zanesville store has been kind enough to share some of their donations with their neighbors in Coshocton. However, the Zanesville store is suffering as well and can only share so much. Goodwill is a non-profit organization and receives no income from any government, state or county agency. All of the monies raised through regular customers are used to pay Goodwill employees. Goodwill employs members of the community who might not otherwise be able to find a job. They also help people who want to find a good job, but do not have the right tools or resources to do it on their own. The Goodwill Workforce Development Department help with how to create a winning resume and interview skills. When the prospective employee is ready for a job position, they are either hired at Goodwill or move on to another job through Goodwill, such as positions in rest stops or hotels. There are currently about 400 Goodwill employees in the district. A dozen of those are employed in

Coshocton. “I like that we’re all a big family,” said Carol Ann Duren who has worked at the Coshocton Goodwill store for many years. So, how do community donations influence the Goodwill employees? Simple. The more donations Coshocton Goodwill receives, the more money they generate through sales, and the more people they can hire. “ T h i s organization actually is about Coshocton,” said Moore, “It helps Coshocton. This particular store, if they donate to the Coshocton store, it’s helping your friends and your neighbors. It all stays here. It’s about having a chance,

not a charity. Some of the people we have are very disabled and it gives them a lot of pride to earn that paycheck and not get a food stamp card. Especially if you spend a few minutes talking to someone, they are tickled, they are happy to have this job.” Coshocton Goodwill needs any and all donations the community has to give. Examples of donation items include but are not limited to gently-used clothing, kitchen equipment, toys, books, tools, bikes, bedding, curtains, dishes, cutlery, or any antiques. Men’s clothing is also in high demand. Please do not bring in any items that do not work. Also, no animals or chemicals will be accepted. Monetary donations are also appreciated. Goodwill offers a wide variety of items for very low prices. T-shirts and jeans sell for $2.99. They also offer prom and other formal dresses. Not only is Goodwill a place to find a good deal, but also the place to find antiques that may not be available anywhere else. Moore said it is also a social outlet for people in the community. Anyone can drop off their gently-used items at the Coshocton Goodwill Monday – Saturday from 9 a.m. – 5:30 p.m. and on Sundays late in the afternoon until 5:30 p.m. Goodwill is located at the corner of Third and Main Street in Coshocton.

ridgewood High school presents ‘Beauty and the Beast’By BetH scott

The ‘tale as old as time’ is coming to Ridgewood High School. The Ridgewood Thespians proudly present Disney’s Beauty and the Beast, which will be performed in the high school auditorium Thursday, March 24 – Saturday, March 26 at 7 p.m. When thinking about what musical to do in the spring, Director Jill Collins tossed around a few ideas with other members of her staff. However, the students came to her with the idea of doing Beauty and the Beast. Her thought was, “Why not?” and the students were ecstatic. Rehearsals began, props were created, choreography started coming to life, and the music sounded beautiful. When asked what she has loved about being in this production, Meredith Evans, who plays the lead female role, Belle, answered, “Just the magic of feeling it all come together. We have a lot of the set painted now and now the orchestra music’s coming together. It’s a lot of fun just to feel it starting to gel and people getting off book and it’s exciting because, when they announced

that we were going to do it, it’s my favorite Disney movie. My grandma gave me the book she used to read to me. I always wanted to be Belle and didn’t expect to get it, but it’s just fun to see it all come together. I’ve been excited for two months and will be until after the show.” For those who are not familiar with the story, Belle is a beautiful young woman who lives in a small town in France, pursued by a very prideful man, Gaston, whom she has no interest in. Belle is not content with her life and has always dreamed of something more. When Belle’s father is lost in the woods, Belle goes in search of him and finds a mysterious castle. What lies beyond will open up a whole different world for her where she will find magic, make new friends, and meet her true love, the Beast, who is more than he appears. This production might be considered a little more challenging than most. Director Collins said that one of the most challenging scenes in the play is the transformation of

the beast. This involves a light show to hide the actor and he literally has to change from beast to man in a matter of only a few seconds. Another challenging scene is the fight scene between Gaston and the Beast just minutes before the transformation. The fight scene needs to look real, and that can be hard to do on a stage, but Collins said Matt Downing, choreographer, has done a great job. “This is the first drama production I’ve ever been in,” said Brad Harvey, senior, who plays Gaston, “so I was a little unsure about doing anything in it, but being Gaston is like a whole character shift for me because I’m not generally ‘Gaston-like’, so it’s been kind of a work in progress becoming evil. It’s fun to be somebody you’re not. It’s just something different.” Collins said she thinks one of the most enjoyable scenes for the audience will be when Gaston proposes to Belle. She also said the, ‘Be Our Guest’ song will be enjoyable because everyone will be on stage in costume and

performing this timeless song with great choreography. “My favorite part is working with everybody else,” said Stephanie Ellis, senior, who plays Mrs. Potts, “It’s a group effort. It’s not like the baseball team where you have like the second string and the third string. We all work together to make it what it is.” Over 50 cast and crew members are involved in the play including an orchestra. The costumes have been rented from a place in Akron and will arrive Friday. On Friday, March 25, the cast members will be going to Ridgewood Elementary to read to the students. One of Belle’s passions in the play is to read, so the cast will be integrating that part of the play to teach elementary students that reading can

take you anywhere. “I think overall, I’ve just been so surprised by just how much work goes into it and how much these students are willing to put into it,” said Rebecca Paul, English teacher and first year assistant director, “That’s what’s fantastic and how much you see them getting out of it too.” Tickets are available at the door or also by preordering reserved seat tickets. The cost for adults is $8 and students and seniors are $6. The reserved seat tickets will only be held until 6:15 p.m. the night of the performance. Tickets will be available at the high school office or at the will call table the night of the show. Pre-order tickets by calling 545-6345 and ask for Nicole at Jill Collin’s voicemail or e-mail [email protected]. “I just think of it as memory making for young people and that’s why I chose something like this because they throw so much of their heart into it,” said Director Jill Collins, “It seems like you live and breathe it for these six weeks. But it’s just so much fun to see them work with each other…So I think it’s just, you get to see youth doing something wonderful and enjoying it and helping each other out, and that’s what it’s all about.”

The basement fellowship hall of the Coshocton Presbyterian Church was crowded Wednesday, March 9 as people gathered for the first Lenten Lunch of the season. Norma Owens welcomed the guests, led a short prayer, and then shared a beautiful rendition of “Lamb of God” with accompanist, Caroline Heading. She also explained the presence of a small rock located at each place at the table. The rock had been painted black and had a white cross painted in the center. Owens explained that the gift was to remind everyone daily that Jesus is their Savior and he died for their sins. The menu for the day included soup, with a choice potato or vegetable beef soup, a variety of pies, vegetables, muffins, crackers, cheese and beverages. After everyone enjoyed their luncheon, Norma Owens read a scripture reading from Luke 8: 4-15 and Rev. Mike Bilza of the Coshocton Alliance Church expanded on the reading. Luke 8: 4-15 is about the parable Jesus told about the seed being planted on the various types of

soil. Jesus told of the seeds that were dropped on the stony ground and the birds devoured

them. Then the seeds were spread on rocks where they sprang up, but withered and died because they had no roots. They were then spread on a cluttered ground where they grew, but the thorns choked them. Finally, they were planted on good soil where they grew and prospered. Rev. Bilza explained that the sower of the seeds in Jesus’ story is anyone spreading the Word of

God. The seeds represent the Word of God and the soil represents the condition of the human heart and their receptivity to the Word. Everything is the same in each scenario Jesus gives except the condition of the soil, or in realty, the human heart. Rev. Bilza said that the first example Jesus gave where the seeds are devoured by birds represents a person who hears the Word, but does nothing with it. They totally reject the Word of God and continue to live without faith. The second example where the seeds fall on the rocks represent a person who hears the Word of God and immediately accepts it and receives God, but then quickly forgets it and reverts back to their own ways. Rev. Bilza explained this type of a person receives God based on emotions, not faith. The third example Jesus gave where the seeds are choked by the thorns represents a person who may believe in God, probably goes to church and other faith gatherings, but never really has a personal relationship with Jesus. It’s okay to worship Jesus in church, but they don’t like him to “interfere” with their lives. They let the troubles of the world, or the thorns, diminish their faith. Then, the last example where the seed is planted in good soil represents a person who accepts Jesus with their whole heart and has an intimate relationship with Jesus. Rev. Bilza closed his sermon with a prayer and prayed that each person present would be like the seeds in the good soil. He also asked anyone who wanted to accept Jesus into their hearts to pray a special prayer with him and to also pray for the ones that wasn’t ready to make that decision yet that they might accept Jesus within the coming days. The Lenten Lunch closed with the singing of “Bringing in the Sheaves”. The food was provided by Trinity Episcopal Church, Park United Methodist Church, and Fresno United Methodist Church. Hinds Jersey Farm provided the cheese. A $3 minimum donation was asked and all monies raised went to the Church Women United. They will be using the money to provide school clothing for the needy children of the county. The next Lenten Lunch will be March 16 at 11:45 a.m. at the Presbyterian Church. They will continue every Wednesday at the same time until Easter.

Excited fifth and sixth grade Lincoln Elementary school choir members performed several songs at the Evening with the Arts held at Coshocton High School this past weekend. The enthusiastic youngsters, under the direction of music teacher, Aaron Mencer, entertained an appreciative audience with tunes ranging from favorites like “Danny Boy” to an African melody sung in Swahili. Mr. Mike Blowers, department chair and choir director for Coshocton High School and junior high, said, “This is the first elementary choir we’ve had probably in five or six years. We’re extremely excited and we have about 70 students here on the stands ready to sing.” Mencer added, “The kids are very excited and they wanted to come out and perform. They have

worked very, very hard. The kids will be doing five numbers of various genres, we tried to mix it up for them and allow them to do some different things. We’re doing a Latin piece; we’re doing an African piece in Swahili language, a French piece for the guys. We have a lot going on. The students are super excited and just came out in all colors, they’ve worked so hard and I’m excited to be here with them.” Myrtle Beall, who coordinates the Evening with the Arts, said, “We’ve scaled back a bit to make it more manageable this year. This is more of a celebration of the arts; the visual arts, the singing and

performing arts, some technology and the play sums it all up. This is a celebration of all the arts that Coshocton City Schools has.” Beall explained that the importance of the arts, “The arts are just really something that you have to have in the kids training and their education. I’m into this left brain, right brain thing, where the whole brain has to be educated and the right side is the creative side and if you don’t take the time to develop that right side of the brain then the kids are going to be lopsided. And (laughing) we don’t want lopsided kids going out into the world. If you look at the statistics as to what business leaders are wanting, they want problem solvers, they want creative thinkers. And that’s what art does for these kids. It helps them develop in that

area. We’re not expecting all of them to go out and be artists or musicians but problem solving, creative thinking; that can be applied to any profession even if you choose to work in a fast food venue, be a stay at home mom, any place you can apply that. We really stress the problem solving part of it.” Responding to the question about why having an art event is important, junior Byron Brenneman, who was working at a display making clay pots with fellow junior Brittany McFarland, said, “Art is very important for our culture and for learning.” McFarland, said, “I think that it pretty much supports individualism and gets across that art is important. I enjoy everything about art; let your imagination go crazy.” She plans to be an animator and major in art in college. lincoln cHoir goes “liVe” pictured are several very excited members

#34 The first church in Coshocton

In 1818, the first church was

constructed in the city of Coshocton. It was a Presbyterian

Church and was established in the fall of that year.

This “Beacon Bicentennial Bit” was reprinted with permission and taken from the Coshocton County Sesquicentennial book compiled

by the Coshocton County Historical Committee and printed by Shaw-Barton in 1961. (Page 77)

Audition announcement for ‘my Fair lady’Coshocton Footlight Players are pleased to announce auditions for My Fair Lady. Andrew Lloyd Webber has called My Fair Lady, “the benchmark musical of all time.” Based on George Bernard Shaw’s play Pygmalion, My Fair Lady tells the story of Professor Henry Higgins, who, upon accepting a bet, transforms a common gal from the “gutter” named Eliza Doolittle, and through vocal coaching, turns her into someone taken for royalty. It is filled with magnificent songs, such as “I’ve Grown Accustomed to Her Face,” “On the Street Where You Live,” “I’m Gettin’ Married in the Morning” and “I Could Have Danced All Night,” to name a few. Auditions are scheduled for Sunday, March 13 at 2 p.m., Monday, March 14 at 7 p.m., and Tuesday, March 15 at 7 p.m. at the Triple Locks Theater in historic Roscoe Village.

Habitat Home show draws hundreds By mArk FortuneThe second annual Habitat For Humanity Home Show was held this past weekend at the Coshocton County Career Center with hundreds attending. Over 40 vendors had displays and exhibits featuring home related products and services with seminars and demonstrations including; gourds, woodcarving, vegetable gardening and Red, White and Bloom. The home show is a major fund-raiser for Habitat For Humanity of Coshocton County. Free bulk shredding was also provided and donations were accepted for the Habitat For Humanity ReStore. Debnar said, “I think Habitat is a wonderful organization and I thought if I could come and offer something, I would be glad to. I enjoy growing gourds and seeing the different varieties. There are certain seeds you plant and you know exactly what you’re going to get, then there are other ones that you can plant, like the long-necked gourd, that, if you let it grow on the ground, it will take all kinds of unusual shapes. I also like crafting and showing at the fair.” Debnar also added that raising and cultivating gourds ends with the Coshocton County Fair and that with this year’s Bicentennial, there are several new categories for people to enter gourds. Jane Sikes, who helped organize the event, stated, “Last year we had just over a thousand people in the two days and this year we’re expecting a similar number. There are so many nice things being offered. All of the exhibitors have specials going on; we have Buehler’s offering some lunch if you want to grab a sandwich. It’s springtime and it’s time to think about getting the house straightened up, cleaned up for spring and this is a great time to do that.” Nancy Nagle, who serves as chairman for the family support committee for Habitat, said, “Family support involves working with our Habitat families and encouraging them

and helping them earn their 300 hours of sweat equity. In order for a partner family to earn a home, they have to have as part of the requirement, 300 hours of sweat equity, which means that they are going to be putting time into building a home, or time into the community, volunteering in the community or volunteering at programs for Habitat. Many people feel that when a partner family moves into a home, we give them the house and give them the key. That’s not the case. The Habitat partner families do an incredible amount of work to earn their home. They have real ownership in the home.” Nagle added that, “Habitat For Humanity is currently finishing house number eight, seven is just about complete and we’re now working on number nine, getting that under roof. We have Habitat families for seven and nine and the

tenth house already has a Habitat partner family. We’re excited at where we’re at.” Gemini Construction owner Jason Pendola said he had a two-fold reason for being at the show as a local business, “Number one, to support what Habitat does in our community. Every year they’ve got projects that are happening to help people get into homes, and secondly, because we get a lot of business from this. People really come looking for our services, so it’s mutually beneficial. It’s great to be here.” Another local business who set up at the show was Coshocton Glass. Owner Tim Howell stated, “This is our first time being at the home show. It’s been nothing but positive feed for us so far. We’re trying to reach out to the community as much as we can. It’s a good show and a good investment of our time. I enjoy being here and meeting the people that I don’t get to see on a regular basis. Hopefully they’ll see our services and know that we can do something for them.” Jane Mautz, public relations committee chair and board member for Habitat For Humanity, said, “This show is one of the ways we can get our name out there. People can see who we are. We really give a helping hand to someone who wants to be a homeowner. We have to come up with funds. We’re not large enough yet that our previous homeowners to supply our money through their payments. So we need some fund-raisers. This serves a two-fold purpose. We get some money out of it for our partner families and we get our name out there. And we really hope we’re helping our local businesses be better. That’s what it’s all about. It’s community helping community. It’s all of us helping together. Our vendors have been great; the Career Center is a great location. A lot of volunteer hours go into this event to make it happen.”

HAmming it up At tHe Home sHow pictured is three-year-old Logan Lahna, son of Max and Jen-nifer Lahna, with local gourd enthusiast, phyllis Deb-nar. Logan was examining several of the hand-painted gourds that Debnar brought to the Habitat For Hu-manity Home Show on Saturday, March 12. The show was at the Coshocton County Career Center over the weekend. BeACon pHoTo By MArK ForTune
