It’s Written in the Stars - Relay For Life May 16-17 By Jan Myers

‘It’s Written in the Stars’ is the theme of Coshocton’s upcoming Relay for Life event that will be held at the Coshocton County Fairgrounds from Friday, May 16 at 6:00 p.m. to Saturday, May 17 at 6:00 p.m. This 24-hour event is expected to raise $145,000 for the American Cancer Society. Bob Nicholson and Laurie Stephan are the co-chairs.

$140,000. “Because of the outstanding contributions this county made to The Relay last year, Coshocton County earned the distinction of being 20th in the state out of 215 Relay events,” explained Stephan. “Last year we had approximately 30 people involved in the planning stages and 900 team members. In addition to that we had over 200 survivors who walked in

welcome to attend any part of the relay.” Entertainment is also a big part of the event. Along with some returning favorites, they have some new entertainment this year. “Sheldon Mencer is coming back this year along with the three area high school choirs who will be singing the relay theme song that Sheldon has written for us,” continued Nicholson.

Pictured above are Laurie Stephan and Bob Nicholson, co-chairs of the 2008 American Cancer Society Coshocton County Relay for Life.

“This is our ‘million dollar’ year,” said Nicholson. “Our goal this year is to raise $145,000, but once we hit the $80,000 mark, we will have raised $1 million over the past 13 years of Coshocton Relays.” Last year they made their goal of

the survivor lap in 2007.” This year’s Relay has 40 teams participating, representing about 1,000 people. There is also expected to be 400 cancer survivors participating. “We may easily have 2,000 people at the opening ceremony,” stated Nicholson. “Anyone is

“Haley Watson will sing the National Anthem and will also perform at 10 p.m. on Friday. Plus, we have performances by the groups ‘Seven Days’ and ‘By His Grace’, and magician Jeff Leonard.” A favorite for Nicholson is the luminary ceremony held at 9:00 p.m. on

The Frontier Power Company Frontier Supply Co. “Join us for our annual cook-out”

Friday. “All the candles are lit around the track,” said Nicholson. “Last year we had 1,230 of them. The weather was perfect and so they stayed lit pretty much all night. The track just glowed – it was gorgeous.” Other events during the two days will include a balloon launch, an armed services ceremony, a cake auction, a craft and quilt auction, a purse auction and new this year is the golf ball drop. “We’ll be offering the chance to drop golf balls from a bucket truck,” explained Nicholson. “You’ll be able to purchase 1 ball for $5 and 3 balls for $10, with the goal being to drop the balls on the bull’s eye below. There will be a cash prize for 1st place and a large number of consolation gifts.” Most of the volunteers who help with Relay are passionate about the cause, and Nicholson and Stephan are no exception. “My family has been hit hard with cancer over the years and Relay For Life has provided a way for me to be able to help fight this,” explained Stephan, who’s been involved for the past 10 years.”No matter what my contribution is to Relay For Life I know that I’m helping. The monies may be used for research to help find a cure, a drug or for therapy that may make life easier for the cancer patient and/or their family, or for programs that benefit all.” We like to focus on the survivor aspect,” said Nicholson. “That is our goal with Relay – to raise money for cancer research – so that there are a lot more survivors.” For more information visit Coshocton’s Relay website at www. events.cancer.org/rflcoshocton, or call Coshocton County’s Cancer Resource Center (CRC) at (740) 291-8273.

From the Publisher . . . Welcome to the second issue of Coshocton County’s only locally owned newspaper, The Coshocton County Beacon! For many of you in the Warsaw, Conesville, West Lafayette and Fresno zip codes, this may be the first time you have seen The Beacon. We are bringing you this edition of The Beacon because it contains the official 2008 Coshocton County Relay for Life program. We are a bi-weekly community paper distributed on Thursday’s by the U.S. Postal Service and also available at over 60 stores and businesses in Coshocton County. Our distribution approaches 12,000 copies for this issue and will be around 9,000 for the next several issues. As we grow the business we will also expand the distribution and quantity of papers delivered. Our delivery method of choice is the U.S. Postal Service and, while expensive, we know that this is a completely credible manner in which to deliver our product into your hands. We hope you enjoy reading our paper – we are interested in hearing your suggestions. I must admit that the overall community response to the premiere issue was overwhelmingly positive and encourages us to work even harder to follow through on our slogan ‘Shining a Positive Light on Coshocton County”. That phrase is part of our logo – but it is more than that. It is also our mission and the manner in which we strive to conduct business. I encourage the greater Coshocton community to monitor our efforts and keep us on track. If you have a story idea or suggestion, by all means, send me an

email – my address is mark@coshoctoncountybeacon. com . While I cannot promise that we can cover every idea; we will certainly take a good look to see how it fits into our purpose. I would also ask you to support our advertisers, because it is they who allow us to deliver a quality paper to the community free of charge. We are proud to have the 13th annual Coshocton County Relay for Life program included with this edition of The Beacon. The Relay is a special event for a special group of people. In fact, I would go so far as to say that these folks are genuine heroes. You hear people asking “where have all the heroes gone?” - come out to the fairgrounds this Friday and Saturday, May 16 and 17 and you will find them. Cancer affects a disproportionate number of our citizens and the monies raised at this event go to further Cancer Research. You never know when that dollar you pluck from your purse or pocket and drop into the bucket on Main Street may be “The Dollar” that is the tipping point – the dollar that provides the research that finds a cure. In fact, this will be the year that the Coshocton County Relay for Life surpasses the million dollar mark in total monies raised for cancer research. This is in only 13 years. Coshocton County, you can be proud of this achievement! I would urge you to visit the Fairgrounds between 6 p.m. Friday, May 16 and 6 p.m. Saturday, May 17 to witness a spectacular outpouring of love, hope, courage, faith and even a few tears. It is a touching and emotional event that lifts spirits and draws upon courage. A few of the events that you don’t want to miss are the Opening Ceremony at 6:00 p.m. on Friday, the Luminaria Service at 9:00 p.m. on Friday evening, the Miss Relay contest at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday morning, the Armed Forces ceremony at Noon on Saturday, and the third annual quilt, craft and cake auction beginning at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday. There are events and live entertainment going on throughout the 24 hour event of course that are fun for the whole family! The closing ceremony is at 6:00 p.m. on Saturday. So come out to the Fairgrounds Friday and Saturday and see the enthusiasm that over 40 teams with hundreds of volunteers have for this cause! See you on the track!

Annin Flag Company has been a cornerstone of the commercial scene in Coshocton County for about as long as anyone can remember. What you may not know is their fondness for philanthropy. In this region, Annin’s employees have consistently been leading fundraisers for local and national charities, including Muscular Dystrophy Association, The Salvation Army, Camp Echoing Hills, the Coshocton County Sheriff’s Office and our local animal shelter, to name a few. But the real focus this month is for the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life, for which Annin has had the top corporate fundraising team for the last four years. The event, which kicks off Friday, May 16th at 6:00 p.m. and runs for a full, twenty-four hours, is one to which Annin has a strong and steady commitment. Part of that reason stems from the energy and dedication of this year’s team co-captains Brenda Howell and Julie Darr, and by a plant management team that is willing to support and encourage a high level of employee involvement. Relay for Life is a yearly event, sponsored by the American Cancer Society, but conducted at a county chapter level. It is a day-long celebration - including a 24-hour team relay-walk – which will take place at the Coshocton County fairgrounds, Friday May 16th through Saturday, May 17th. For Annin’s employees, as well as for other corporate or civic or religious teams, the relay is the culmination of many months worth of fund-raising efforts.

“ W e actually begin our fundraising effort in early July,” says Darr; “and we go clear up until the relay.” Darr is Team Leader in Annin’s department that makes Boy Scout neckerchiefs. She also serves as Treasurer for all employee fundraising i n i t i a t i v e s throughout a calendar year. For Relay for Life, those fundraising efforts have brought in over $100,000 over the last seven years. “We did lots of things this year to raise money,” says Darr. Employee fundraising efforts over the last year have included conducting lotteries, offering lunchtime “mini-meals” to employees, car washes, bake sales, craft bazaars, candy bar sales and more. “We won’t reveal the entire amount of money we’ve collected for the Relay until the closing ceremony,” said the team’s other co-captain, Brenda Howell. Howell – who works in the Returns department at Annin - is in charge of lining up the team. If they match last year’s participation, this year’s team will number close to 120, once employees’ family members join in the fun. “We’ve got over three pages of names – front and back- who’ve signed our walking sheet this year,” exclaims Howell. The team represents both first and second shift workers, who will stagger their starts and stops to keep Annin employees in the relay event the full 24-hours. Howell and Darr both comment that the efforts of Annin’s employees are directly attributable to plant manager Rick Merrell and the other supervisors who have encouraged employee participation at a level that many other participating teams admire. Perhaps it’s because Merrell is, himself a Cancer survivor. Merrell is quick to point out that the good publicity Annin gets on behalf

The luminaries – each represents a friend or loved one who lost their battle with cancer or is currently battling the disease - will be illuminated in a special ceremony on Friday evening, May 16th at 9:30 p.m. Each luminary has a loved one’s name and a memorial tribute message affixed to it. Thus far, Annin employees have purchases sixtyeight luminaries. For Howell, it will be her 7th relay event. “I guess I got involved because my mother passed away from cancer,” she says. “Almost no one hasn’t been touched in some way.” For Darr, it’s her sixth. Both say they take pride in being part of the Annin Team.

of their community service fundraising efforts should go directly to Annin’s “great people.” “Our employees have bee so gracious with their hard-earned money,” Merrell says. For Annin’s part, Merrell says they work hard to promote the value of being a good corporate citizen and keeping their money inside the county. They also support their own employees when disaster hits and extra help is needed. As for his personal experience with the big C, Merrell explained that after surgery and some follow-up radiation treatments, he’s been cancer-free for almost three decades. “I guess that one of the reasons why I support the relay,” he explains. “For me, like so many others who battle cancer, every year is a good year. Many aren’t as fortunate, and don’t have another year.” Merrell has actively encouraged the company’s four supervisors – Cheryl Barthalow, Jackie Darr, Jackie Hultz and Brenda Kopp - who have wholeheartedly gotten behind Annin’s Relay for Life efforts. Other key supporters include Production Superintendent Joe Douglas and Distribution Manager Rick Payne, who has personally solicited the vast majority of raffle prizes. For several months now, Darr has kept a table operating at the start and stops of both shifts to answer questions, solicit team members or offer opportunities for employees to contribute financially. One of the newer projects – begun this year to support fundraising – is the sale of employee-designed, 12-inch by 18-inch yard flags. The first is a purple ‘support’ flag, used for individuals wishing to remember loved ones who have lost their cancer battle. On it is printed: “Hope for a Cure.” The second – a bright purple and yellow flag – for survivors and those battling cancer says: “Strength and Hope.” Employees at Annin have bought the $ 20 flags, contributing much in that effort alone. There will also be over sixty luminaries – small illuminated plastic

Senior Day Set to Start by Ginger Reiss

Caught Ya!

There are almost too many events held throughout our community during the months of April and May to fully capture all of the wonderful photo opportunities presented. For that matter, try to find a month in Coshocton County without at least a good half dozen offerings for those of all ages. One event in particular is designed to bring out families - uniting moms, dads, brothers, sisters, grandparents – well, you get the idea. This is the annual Lake Park Fishing Derby. We “caught” Desi (age 9) and Chase McHenry with this just landed 7 inch bluegill at Lake Park on Saturday, May 3rd. Father and son proudly displayed their catch for the camera.

Then, beginning at 12:00 noon, seniors can enjoy and sing-along with Coshocton resident Dan Barnes’ piano music. Barnes is well-recognized in the county, having played many years at King Charley’s Tavern, at the Roscoe Village Inn, among many other establishments, during the last several years. Last year’s activities included a number of vendor and agency displays having to do with senior issues, including health, long-term financing and insurance and other such topics. “This year, because we also have a Seniors Health Fair in June, we decided to omit those displays for Senior Day,” explained Hobbs. “It just didn’t’ make sense having the same sorts of informational displays only a month apart.” According to her, most of the seniors just enjoy visiting with one another and reminiscing while listening to the music, anyway. Seniors are invited to stay for supper, which the center will begin serving at noon. The meal will consist of baked ham, green beans, sweet potatoes, coleslaw, rolls, a choice of beverage and cheesecake, for dessert. Door prize drawings will also be conducted during the day, with the Senior Center furnishing all prizes. Senior Day has been an annual festivity for as long as Hobbs can remember – or, at least as long as she has been with the center. “I joined the staff here in 2000, so we’ve been having the celebration at least eight years!” If you think you’ll just pop in, if your schedule permits, think again. The Senior Center only takes reservations for this event, so call early. “We can hold up to 220 guests for the day,” says Hobbs. “We usually sell out well in advance, though we do keep a waiting list.” To make your reservation, call 622-4852. All activities are free-of-charge for area seniors.

Seniors from across the county are invited to a special celebration at the Seniors Center on Browns Lane, May 20th , beginning at 10:30 a.m. “In conjunction with Older Americans’ Month, established by the Ohio Department of Aging, Seniors Day is a special day set aside at each area seniors’ center to honor and celebrate senior citizens and their impact on communities and on our nation. “We try to pick a day that doesn’t coincide with other centers’ activities, says Ronda Hobb, Coshocton Senior Center Director. “That way area seniors can visit other centers and connect with their senior friends who live outside the area.” Hobbs says that This year’s celebration – the third Tuesday in May - will begin with a dove release on Senior Center premises, at 10:30 a.m. “About twenty or so doves will be released,” says Hobbs, to mark the special day. The birds are provided and released by Coshocton County resident and business owner Ivan Ford. Doves – because they symbolize peace and because of their homing instincts – were chosen to begin this year’s celebration. . “Some of the other centers begin their celebrations with balloons,” says Hobbs; “but we wanted our kick off to be a little more environment-friendly and, we hope, a little more meaningful.” The birds will instinctively return to their breeding and roosting home, at Ford’s residence. Since many of our seniors are veterans, a symbol of peace, it was thought, might make a more fitting opening to the day’s activities. At 11:00, Celeste Friedman will perform a musical variety show for seniors in the main activity room. Friedman, a Newark resident performs music from the 40s and 50’s, including many well-loved tunes from silver screen musicals.

The theme for this year’s Bible School at Roscoe United Methodist is Power Lab, Discovering Jesus’ Miraculous Power. The fun starts Monday, June 2nd and runs through Friday, June 6th, 9:00 am to 12:00 pm each day. There will be two preschool classes of “Squeaky Beakers.” The Squeaky Beakers are children four years old and who have not yet attended Kindergarten. The Power Lab Team is children ages Kindergarten through sixth grade of the current school year, 2007-2008. Each day will hold something exciting, so come and meet Professor Wilma and learn all about how Jesus gives us our POWER. The children will have their Bible School program on Sunday, June 8th during the 10:30 Worship service with a picnic to follow. For more information and to register, call Karen Shepler at 622-7780. Roscoe UMC is located in Roscoe Village at 475 High Street. The Rev. Corelee Cox is the pastor.

Faith

Dear Heavenly Father,

by Mark Granger What comes to mind when you hear the word, “Faith?” Do you feel you have any? Do you feel that you could use a lot more? Even Jesus made the statement in the Gospel of Luke chapter 18 verse 8, “When the Son of Man (Jesus) comes, and will He really find faith on earth?” We generally think of faith as God answering our prayers when we have come to a place of desperation and all of our efforts to work things out have failed. We in the USA have lived through a time of the greatest prosperity that the world has ever known. We might not feel that way about it but we have. Now we are facing what we call hard times with a very high unemployment rate in our country and especially in our county. Let us be reminded that during the Great Depression the unemployment rate was at least 30%. WE are far from that. What does this have to do with faith? Everyone you talk to is blaming everyone else for our financial and economical woes. From corporations to the Federal and Local Government and even God Himself is getting blames for our problems. This year our elections will be one of the most important if not the most important in our nation’s history. We have come to the conclusion that if the right person is elected the jobs will come back and the money will flow once again and we will all be happy. Prosperity is not always a good thing because somehow God has gotten lost in the shuffle because we did not need Him in our lives as we once did and now we wonder where He is and

why He let us down. I am reminded of this scripture in Psalm 16 verse 15, “He (God) gave them their request, but sent leanness into their soul.” We have seen the prosperous times and enjoyed them but in the process we have wilted and nearly dried up spiritually. Our Nations and personal problems are spiritual and not economical. What is the answer? We find it in the Bible in the Book of Revelations chapter 3 verses 13-22. Verse 17 tells us of a people who have said, “I am rich and have become wealthy, and you need of nothing,” and Jesus says, “You do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind and naked.” It is always strange how we see ourselves and how that God sees us. This next verse gives us the answer, “…be zealous and repent. Behold, I (Jesus) stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door I will come in to him dine with him and he with Me.” The Lord simply wants us to repent of our sin and to let Him into our hearts and renew our relationship with Him and let Him work in our lives and through our lives. In the Book of Hebrew’s chapter 4 and verse 16 we are told, “Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in the time of need.” God does care about each of us but we must do things God’s way.

We also remember the families of our troops, and ask for your unique blessings to fill their homes and your peace, provision and strength to fill their lives. May the members of our armed forces be filled with courage to face each day and may they trust in the Lord’s mighty power to accomplish each task. Let our military brothers and sisters feel our love and support. In the name of Jesus. Amen. Editor’s Note: This prayer is being published in lieu of the Bible verse in observance of Memorial Day.

Coshocton County Featured in Tourism Publications Coshocton County has been fortunate to be featured in several publications recently. According to Coshocton County Convention and Visitors Bureau Director, Belinda Williamson, exposure like this can potentially generate numerous visitors, which translates to additional tourism dollars spent in our county. The newly released book, Particular Places, A Traveler’s Guide to Ohio’s Best Road Trips, mentions 15 of the best places to visit in Ohio, including Coshocton. Author Jane Ware not only gives readers a list of maps, phone numbers and driving directions to each place she mentions, but she also includes a mix of fun trivia facts and opinionated insight on each destination. The chapter about Coshocton includes a history of the area and mentions several area attractions such as Rainbow Hills Winery and Bed & Breakfast, Roscoe Hillside Cabins, Apple Butter Inn, The Old Warehouse Restaurant, Raven’s Glenn Winery, The Courtsquare Café, Serenity Tea House, Roscoe Village, Monticello III Canal Boat, the Johnson-Humrickhouse Museum, Wildwood Music, the Galley in the Alley, Liberty Pottery, Miller Pharmacy Soda Fountain, Pomerene Center for the Arts, the Coshocton Antique Mall, Old Stone Fort, and Helmick Covered Bridge. The book also details the numerous historic murals located in the community including those at Chase Bank, Coshocton County Courthouse, Spitler’s Restaurant, Central Elementary School, Coshocton Fire Department and at the Coshocton Presbyterian Church.

The Particular Places book is available In Roscoe Village at The Village Bookworm and the JohnsonHumrickhouse Museum and at the Coshocton Public Library, or visit www. orangefrazer.com. “We work hard to get the word out about all Coshocton has to offer,” stated Williamson. “When I read about what others write about our community it makes me feel proud to live here and be representing this county.” Coshocton was also recently featured in the summer edition of Group Tour magazine. Attractions highlighted in that article include Towne Center, Roscoe Village, Raven’s Glenn, Unusual Junction, Pearl Valley Cheese, Rainbow Hills and the Johnson-Humrickhouse Museum.

Preschool Princess By Jan Myers

Five-year-old Brooke Wilson, a preschooler at Hopewell School, was diagnosed with infantile spasms when she was eight months old. Her mother, Jody Wilson, says that up until that point she was a normal child, even reaching major infant milestones sooner than her twin brother, Austin. But once the epileptic seizures started, things changed. “We are thankful to have Hopewell School in this community,” said Jody Wilson. “I didn’t know anything about the school until we had to use them. If people really knew what was going on there, I think the community would be even more giving to the school. We are

very fortunate to have Hopewell here, because unfortunately there are a lot of children in this area that have a disability of some kind.” Holly Rine, Director of Children’s Programs at Hopewell School, explains that the Preschool Special Education Unit can serve up to 8 children with special needs and 4 typical children. Brooke started out in Hopewell’s Early Intervention Program. She has a oneon-one aide who is provided by her local school district. “Each of the local school districts have preschool special education programs,” explained Rine. “We have three of those programs here at Hopewell and are already full for next year. It’s nice for those children who have a lot of special needs to be involved in our program since we have all the resources here to assist them. We have therapists on staff and a speech and language department that is proficient in the area of alternative-type communication for children who can’t

Preservation of the Past

Millfork Valley 4-H undertakes monument project Possibly the most important aspect of our present day life is the past. Without the past we forget who we are, where we came from and for what purpose we remain. The past truly holds many keys and mysteries to the future and preserving that past in a world determined to lunge forward into new dimensions isn’t always easy. Whether we realize it or not our county cemeteries house many of the mysteries of our past. Ask any member of the local Genealogy Chapter just how important cemeteries are to our history and they’ll give you quite an interesting and lengthy speech. The sad truth however is that many of our old cemeteries lay in disarray and ruins. The graves that remain are worn, tattered and even vandalized, shameful as that may be. Millfork Valley 4-H Club wants to change that for at least one area cemetery known simply as Warner Cemetery, which is situated at the corner of County Road 6 and Township Road 306. Named after the Warner Church that stood on the grounds up until a few years ago when it was torn down, the cemetery remains an intricate part of our county’s history. In 1870 Warner Methodist Episcopal Church was organized by Rev. S. R. Surie and was named in honor of Dr. Warner,

of the North Ohio conference at that time. The original framed building was erected at a cost of $2,000 and church membership in the 1870’s was sixty-six. The goal of Millfork Valley is to purchase a stone monument that will contain an etched photo of the old church as well as the dates it stood. The monument would not only serve as a permanent sign and marker for the cemetery, but would also preserve the quaint image of the little church built more than one hundred years ago. The cost of the monument is about $1,200 and the members of the club have been holding bake sales, car washes and other fundraisers in an attempt to raise the money to purchase the monument As one 4-H member put it… “Raising $1,200 is going to take a lot of cookies”! Any resident or community member that is interested in helping with this wonderful project of preservation can mail their tax-deductible donation to: Millfork Valley 4-H-- c/o Elaine Ashcraft 46118 County Road 58, Coshocton, Ohio 43812. Any donation regardless of how large or small will be greatly appreciated and will help this project along more than you can imagine.

The Coshocton County Beacon • May 15, 2008 speak. What we try to do is work with every child where they are so they can continue to progress at their own pace.” This is the third year for Brooke to be in the preschool at Hopewell, and Wilson recommends it to anyone who has a child with a disability. Tiffany Wehr is Brooke’s teacher. Brooke’s twin brother Austin also attended the preschool. “The preschool program is even good for kids that don’t have disabilities,” continued Wilson. “The way my husband, Mike and I feel about it is that it exposed Austin to children that aren’t as fortunate as him. He looks at them like there’s nothing wrong with them. I know kids can be cruel and I believe that every child should experience this so that there’s not so much cruelty towards a child that has a disability.” Wilson says she sees the whole staff at Hopewell dedicating their lives to the kids. She feels the school and staff offer the children so much more than parents can do at home. “The earlier you can get a child that has a disability into any kind of a therapy atmosphere, the better off they will be,” stated Wilson. “Their chances of learning even one little thing is so important.” Brooke loves the aquatics program and the staff says she comes alive at that point. They also have a sensory room at Hopewell and this year Brooke gets to spend more time exploring in that room. “She actually got up and walked by herself while in the sensory room,” expressed Wilson. “She’s done that a couple of times now. The room has mats

on the floor so the kids don’t get hurt.” Wilson says she would love to be able to put a pool or sensory room in their house to give Brooke extra stimulation at home. Brooke is also working with a computer program at the school. “I had a hard time sending her to school at first,” said Wilson. “But the staff at Hopewell treats Brooke just like she’s one of their own kids. Her aide, Lori Speaks, is just wonderful with Brooke. It goes beyond the call of duty. Kathy Tenney, the school nurse also keeps a good eye on Brooke. The whole staff is phenomenal – they have lots of patience. They send home notes everyday of what she’s done that day.” Even though Brooke is just five-yearsold, she is already an ambassador. She was one of the youngest recipients of a Vagus Nerve Stimulator which is a device similar to a pacemaker that helps control her seizures. “She is an ambassador for Cyberonics which is the company that makes the Vagus Nerve Stimulator,” explained Wilson. “So we get phone calls from parents who are considering whether to use this for their child.” Brooke has also been featured in Twins magazine and on WHIZ TV. “We have had a wonderful experience with the program at Hopewell,” stated Wilson. “Brooke brings a lot of joy to our lives. We don’t exclude her from anything. We call her princess and she definitely is a princess.”

4-H Food, Fashion and Family Living Board Meet Local Business Owner Members, advisors and several mothers of the Coshocton County 4-H Food, Fashion & Family Living Board met at The Serenity Tea House on Tuesday, May 6 for a special evening of tea sandwiches; ham and Swiss, chicken salad, cucumber and tomato, homemade lemon bread, chocolate chip cookies, and a variety of delicious mini pastry desserts. And, of course, hot peach tea! Members of the board were treated to owner Jeanne Keenan talk about the challenges of starting a small business. Jeanne talked to the young women about many unanticipated challenges and adapting to change. As Keenan stated, “You stay in business by being willing to change. Business is driven by your customers and you need to be willing to try new things.” Like us, some of our readers may be wondering what exactly is the Coshocton County 4-H Food, Fashion & Family Living Board. Pam Gilmore serves as the key leader of the group with Ellen McClain serving as the assistant leader. This is a service

group that is focused on serving the community that undertakes special projects throughout the year – they are driven to help and serve others. They participate in the Career Center Open House by teaching kids how to make a craft, conduct the Style Show and Tasting Smorgasbord at the Junior Fair and are currently earning money for a trip to New York City to learn more about fashion. According to the group, one of their most enjoyed projects is “Adopt a Resident” in which each young woman adopts a resident at the CCMH Extended care Facility. At Christmas, last year, the girls knitted a scarf for the resident they adopted. One resident was so impressed that they did not want to use the scarf! This group of young women is another wonderful example of what our community does best – teaching others how to help and serve.

Camp Echoing Hills was home to nearly 90 Echoing Hills Village Residents from all over the state of Ohio this past week where they participated in their Annual Sports Retreat. The sports retreat serves as a competitive and challenging 2-day event that the residents look forward to all year. For some this is the only time for them to see friends they have made over the years. And for others, it is the opportunity for the challenge of competing where they will win ribbons and metals. The residents rally together and cheer one another on in relay races, field events, chair volleyball, corn hole and the ultimate game show all with hopes of winning. At the close of the event, there is an awards ceremony and banquet where they receive their much anticipated awards – awards that they will carry with them for weeks. Sports retreat could not have been made possible without the support of a volunteer group from Fairfield Christian Academy. High School students stayed at Camp Echoing Hills for the week and did a lot of clean up work. After their days of cleaning, they then participated and helped run sports retreat for the residents. Echoing Hills Village is a nonprofit ministry dedicated to creating opportunities for individuals with disabilities. Echoing Hills Village believes that all people with disabilities can live purposeful lives with dignity

and respect. Through residential and recreational services, they assist people with special needs to achieve their highest potential. Echoing Hills Village is committed to becoming recognized as one of the best providers of innovative, lifeenhancing experiences to individuals with disabilities by the end of the decade.
