The show is called “Down the Garden Path” and is completely sponsored by the Canal Quilters. All 130 members participate and help with the show each year since its beginnings in 1987. The quilt show has always been a success in the past. This year, the show will feature ten different categories, including pieced bed quilt, mixed technique quilt, appliqué quilt, lap quilt, baby quilt, miniatures, wall-hangings, miscellaneous, such as clothing, home décor and needlework, and youth-made quilts, which are made by young people who don’t belong in the group, but have an interest in quilt-making. Lisa DeBee Schiller will be speaking at the event. She does appliqué quilt work and will be giving a brief lecture and trunk show on Saturday afternoon. Five different quilt shops will also be at the show to display their products. The show will also be raffling off a beautiful

From The Coshocton Wochenblatt January 1910 The beloved Forman, Mr. Henry Hartmann in the Artist Department at the American Artwork, spent the holidays with his mother, relatives, and friends in Chicago. We are very sorry to hear that our friend, Fritz Jordis on Mulberry Street, is very ill with plusary. We wish him a speedy recovery. It is significant that our merchants are wondering and asking themselves how they can make a profit considering the price and flactuation of their goods. The State Legislature met in Columbus on Monday. Wondering if they free us for the the Burden of the Temerance (Ordinance) (County Option) by passing a “Home Rule” law? Very doubtful.

Coshocton Hospital is communicating these changes in advance in order to make the transition as seamless as possible for our patients.

Beginning May 3, several physician offices in Coshocton and surrounding areas will be reclassified as Hospital Based Clinics of Coshocton Hospital. As a result, there will be some changes and enhancements to the way patients are registered for services at these physician offices. This change being implemented by Coshocton Hospital addresses some of the reimbursement challenges that providers are facing under today’s ever-changing healthcare environment. Efforts are underway to minimize the impact this change will have to patients, with minor changes in the registration process and a slightly different billing structure. Hospital officials are excited about the positive impact this change will bring to the community, and help to enable the future delivery of healthcare services to the residents who live here. The affected clinics will continue to have access to the many resources of Coshocton Hospital and, of course, clinic staff will continue

Rock the Arts

By Beth dulAney “Rock the Arts” is so much more than just art The 3rd annual Rock the Arts Celebration of bring. by the students. School choirs and bands will Education is coming to Coshocton High School on May 8 from 10 a.m. – 3 p.m. This is a huge event that really brings all of the schools in the city of Coshocton together for one main event to show off the student’s achievements throughout the year. This isn’t just about beautiful art, but focuses on all aspects of education. There’s everything from science, music, and photography, the dissection of a turtle. But the fun doesn’t stop there. The main goal of this event is to kick back and have a party that celebrates these students and their achievements. There will be displays, games, a concession stand, a silent auction, opportunities to help a couple of great causes, and so much more. This event is completely self-funded by the teachers and they receive absolutely no funding from the school. All the hard work and dedication they put into this is completely volunteer only. They do not receive compensation for the long hours it takes to put this together. All sponsors are listed on the back of a Rock the Arts t-shirt that are available during the event for $12. The design on the front of the shirts, which depicts two guitars that crisscross and are decorated with roses, was created by a 6th grader at Central Elementary School, Justin DeMoss. “It’s an opportunity to showcase what the students have done during the year,” said Jon Cotterman, teacher at the high school and program coordinator, “They don’t have many venues to show their work. That’s why we created this.” The Rock the Arts really has something for everyone. There’s the Think Quest “Submit a Thinking Cap” where students from the 3rd or 4th grade can make and submit a cap representing a profession they most admire. All entries must be made from 80% recycled material and be submitted to the festival between 9:30 – 10 a.m. the day of the event. Caps will be judged and the winner will be announced at 2:30 p.m. Come and see what the future holds. A fortune teller will also be at the festival from 10:30 a.m. – 2:30 p.m. Step into the Fortune Teller’s tent and learn what the future will
If you love taking pictures, you’ll want to enter the photography show. It’s open to students kindergarten through 12th grade. There will be no judging. It’s all in fun. Get up and dance to Just Dance, which has replaced Guitar Hero this year. This is for students ages pre-teen to teen and will be featured on the wii system. If you’re looking for something furry and cute, the animal shelter is allowing the volunteers to bring a puppy and kitten to play with. They will also have information on how to adopt your very own pet. Along with the Animal Shelter, there will be other tables set up as well. The library will have a table where you can make your own bookmark, and both the Pomerene Center and the Johnson-Humrickhouse Museum will have a table as well. If any teacher in the district would like to set up a table and display creative writing essays, poetry, science fair projects, etc, contact Dawne Shook or Myrtle Beall at the Coshocton High School at 740-622-9433. If you’re looking for more of a science activity, come and watch as Danielle Crown, Junior Advanced Biology Student, performs a live dissection on a turtle. But if you’re looking to help a good cause, Rock the Arts has many opportunities for just that. The festival committee will be sponsoring a Bread Art Table. This is very unique and can also be done from home. Visit www.gowiththegrain. org, create a piece of art on an electronic slice of bread, submit it to the Web site, and $1 will be donated to Share Our Strength to help feed America. Rock the Arts will have computers set up at the event for people to show their creative side on a slice of bread and help end childhood hunger in America. The AP Art Students in Mrs. Beall’s class are also doing the Butterfly Project. This is another project you can get involved with at home. The Holocaust Museum in Houston is trying to collect 1.5 million homemade butterflies to symbolize the number of children who perished in the Holocaust. Stop by the table and create a beautiful butterfly. There’s plenty of entertainment provided
be performing as well as students from Miss Jennifer’s Dance Studio. There will also be a silent auction including glass pieces, traditional art, live floral arrangements, and also one of the fish on Second Street during the Dogwood Festival that was created from recycled material last year. “If you’ve never been here before, you’re missing out on seeing some wonderful things,” said Dawne Shook, English teacher at the high school and program coordinator, “It’s such a positive wonderful experience as a district to come together and it’s also a great family event.” The Iron Chef will be making its second appearance at the festival. This was Kristen Binggeli’s idea and it has really taken off. Students and the community can make their dish at home and bring it in the morning of the event to be judged. Prizes will be awarded for each category. First place prize is an iron skillet. All entries must contain the secret ingredient: pineapple. The main goal of the event is to make it one big party where the community can view the student’s achievements and sit back and relax while munching on some free popcorn or something from the concession stand. “It’s also a unique opportunity to see where your tax dollars are going in the school system,” said Myrtle Beall, art teacher and coordinator of the event. There will also be a 50/50 raffle, Rock the Arts T-shirts, beads, 80s sunglasses, face painting, and many other activities too numerous to name. All money raised will go back into the account for next year’s show. Rock the Arts will also be at First Fridays on May 7 with a table outside of Dean’s Jewelry where the community can come and paint rocks. A schedule for Rock the Arts will be available. “One reason I started this is so that the community and the school could come together and celebrate the student’s efforts throughout the year,” said Myrtle. For more information, visit their Web site at www.rockcoshocton.com.
Rock the Arts will have something for the students every day of the week leading up to the main event. Monday: “Hats off to education”: Wear your most creative hat Tuesday: “Great minds think alike”: Dress like twins Wednesday: “Go crazy in celebration of a great school year”: Wear RTA shirt, crazy socks, and crazy hair Thursday: “My favorite thing about school is…”: Dress up to represent your favorite subject, sports, etc… Friday: “Our school rocks!”: Wear your favorite music t-shirt The RTA committee has planned a theme week prior to the event in which all students in the district are encouraged to participate in the days special dress up events.

The Coshocton County Beacon recently met with the Superintendent of Coshocton City Schools, Dr. David Hire, Todd Salmans, President of the Coshocton City School Board and Mr. Greg Coffman, who co-chairs the bond committee along with Judy Maxwell, to discuss the upcoming bond issue. The Coshocton City Schools have placed a 3.16 mill bond issue and a state required half mill maintenance levy on the May 4 ballot to build a new elementary school on the same campus as the high school. The Ohio School Facilities Commission would provide 67% of the funds necessary to build the school – while property owners in the city school district would be responsible for the remaining 33% spread over 34 years. Todd Salmans, President of the “I think the main reason to Coshocton City do this is to really ensure School Board, that our children have all said, “The Ohio Facilities the advantages that they School Commission is can possibly have with allowing school their education. districts to do what is called - Greg Coffman a “segmented build”, in other words, concentrate on building only what you need. What we need is a new elementary school to replace the three aged structures – for example, Lincoln School is now over 100 years old. We’re trying to be considerate to the taxpayers and not over-burden our taxpayers. But we don’t know how much longer this funding will be available – we want to get what we can because you don’t know when the money will disappear. The positive for our children is that a new facility will be state of the art – and have all the bells and whistles – and allow them to compete in this global economy. Being on one campus will allow shared learning with faculty and more cooperation for learning. This is also a positive for safety issues – having all of our kids together is a neat thing. Now, we don’t know what it will look

Superintendent of Coshocton City Schools, said, “It’s our time to do something positive. Our future rests with our kids. The current schools weren’t built with today’s needs and requirements in mind. At Lincoln Elementary, for example, we have a trailer in the playground that serves as a library; we have art and music in corners of the stage, which also serves as the cafeteria. Computer class is also taught on “It’s our time to do the stage. We something positive.

It is distracting. This new school would have less square footage than Central like yet – passing the bond issue is the first step. But we will have no Elementary but would be designed differently and disruption of learning because we can continue would be much more conducive to learning. People have asked, “What’s it going to look in our current buildings until the new elementary school is built. I think we have a really unique like?” Well, the design phase would be 5, 6 or 7 months then you are into winter. Construction opportunity”. The Beacon asked Salmans why, considering would start in the spring of 2011 and you need senior citizens, passing this levy is important. about 18 months for that, then you would move Salmans responded, “We can receive 67% in for fall 2012.

This is for the community.

Fifty, sixty or seventy years ago, you didn’t have to teach say, “Wow, how did you do that”? It is for Coshocton to decide. That’s my view every student, now you have to educate every as a board member. We’re giving people a say – child. There are many kids in our community that’s what this country is built on. It’s not about that have a lot of special needs and we can have what I want; it’s about what the community classrooms that take this into account.

Playing softball at night? Until 1950, this wasn’t a reality until county officials, the city recreation department, and the fair board decided to erect poles and lights at the softball field at the fairgrounds. They met with the Ohio Power Company and Jones Metal Products to make this happen. After the lights were erected, each team in the softball league played half their games under the big lights and the other half during the day on the field on Second Street. The field will be lit with 54,000 watts using 36 bulbs. Once Ohio Power erected the poles and installed the reflectors from Jones Metal Products, the softball teams could finally play ball under the lights. The installation took two weeks.

The Coshocton National Bank was to receive a new addition – an artistic addition that is. Nationally-renowned artist Dean Cornwell unveiled his latest masterpiece entitled “Canal Days” at the Coshocton National Bank later that month. The bank knew they wanted an historic painting back in 1957 when renovations began on expanding their office. A number of other artists were considered and interviewed for the job, but in the end, Dean Cornwell’s work won them over. He had other pieces featured in magazines and his work had been seen by millions. Now, a beautiful mural stands in tribute to his great artwork in Coshocton County for all time.

The dedication of the new Coshocton High School was an event not to be missed. Dr. Charles Gehrke, professor of chemistry at the University of Missouri, returned to his home town to speak about science and education. Gehrke is known nationwide for his acclaimed work on the analysis of moon rocks. He had slides available at the dedication of Apollo 11 and Apollo 12 flights, lunar Samples, and lunar laboratories. Congressman John M Ashbrook presented the school with the Coshocton flag, which had flown over the nation’s capitol. The event was scheduled to take place on May 3 in the gymnasium.

The Board of Education, at a special meeting on Monday, Apr. 26, passed a resolution stating their intention to reduce the rate of the existing Permanent Improvement (PI) tax levy by 0.5-mills for the remaining two years of collection if voters approve the 3.16-mill bond issue and state required 0.5-mill maintenance tax levy at the May 4th election. The intention is that the half mill state required maintenance levy would be fully offset by a reduction in the existing Permanent Improvement Levy. Coshocton City Schools Superintendent, Dr. David Hire stated, “It is not going to get any cheaper than this.”
The Coshocton Nazarene Church dedicated its new Fellowship Center Sunday, May 4 at the 10:30 a.m. worship service. Dr. D. E. Clay was to be the guest speaker. After the service, a brief memorial service and the laying of the corner stone took place. The center was dedicated to the memory of Rev. E. L. Jefferson who served as pastor from 1964 – 1978. The new gymnasium houses many activities such as basketball, volleyball, roller skating, and weight lifting. The center is only open to persons involved with the church and would not be available for rent. The fellowship hall would be available for rent for meals, weddings, and anniversaries.

with what we have but it is cost prohibitive to continue retrofitting these old schools. This is a 25 million dollar construction project that will create some jobs and help local businesses for a year and a half. Just for that alone is a good reason. Due to the age of our current schools, it may cost us more money to vote no on this bond issue and that is a really important point. If we say no, what are we saying no to? Really what we want, if you’re going to vote no, just make sure it is an educated vote. But if you take a look at it, the positives far outweigh the negatives. We can have a brand new facility that can exist for several generations. The maintenance costs are low because the efficiencies are there. This is probably the last best chance we may have for years. This is 67% funded by the state and may be the last round of the tobacco settlement money. We hope the community looks back and says, “I’m glad we did that”. This school will be built “green”, and will be safer, cleaner and more inviting for our children. It would utilize sunlight and space much better than our current buildings. We have great teachers and great kids; let’s give them the building that they deserve”.

tangible that you can be proud of. When you drive by it you can see where your tax dollars went. People that come to our community will make a judgment call based on what our schools look like. Communities are getting these buildings all over Ohio, so people are somewhat used to seeing newer schools. They don’t want to take a step back. We have the opportunity with the elementary school to keep the millage low – 3.6 mills – and at 34 years to keep it low. We have tried to make it as attractive as possible to the taxpayer. There’s never a good time to ask for money but this is as good a time as any by taking advantage of this sale, so to speak. The state has set aside 16.1 million dollars for our district and if we don’t use it they will make it available to another district. The only way we can get this is to come to the voters. If you’re under 65 you are looking at around $86 per year for the typical homeowner in the city school district. That amounts to twentyfour cents per day. The fact is, we wouldn’t be asking for this if we didn’t need it. We do need these elementary schools fixed. When they get to be 100 years old, they are fraught with a lot of challenges. And every winter we have more and more challenges. So it takes more and more money for the upkeep of these buildings”. Hire concluded, “It’s our time to take advantage of this money. We certainly have a need for it. We’re going to continue to do a quality job educating our kids. The reality is, forty years ago, you could graduate in the buildings we had, go and get a job from the local community and be set. Our kids today that are trying to graduate will probably have four or five careers, and 80% of their jobs probably haven’t been invented yet. It is a tremendously difficult job preparing kids for that future and this can benefit our kid’s future and make our community more attractive for business. I’m hopeful that we can get this done because it can impact this community in so many ways. I would rather be part of the solution than complain about the situation. This can be a real shot in the arm”. Greg Coffman added, “I think the main reason to do this is to really ensure that our children have all the advantages that they can possibly have with their education. The technology is very important. We’re doing well

Julia Ostler is a regular at the Coshocton County R.H.D.D. She loves bright colors and especially riding the R.H.D.D bus. She also loves her new room at the Cassingham Hollow home for persons with disabilities. Julia’s room used to look pretty bare until Lisa Bash decided to paint a mural in Julia’s room. She talked with artist Janelle Kron and she agreed to do the mural. After drawing multiple designs, she showed them to Julia. She immediately went to a drawing of a tree and butterflies, picked it up, and claimed it as her own. The painting took two weekends. When it was finished, that staff at R.H.D.D. began to notice positive changes in Julia. She really began to take ownership of her room and has had a positive influence on her health and safety. She is also more independent, and the mural has made her calmer and she enjoys her room a lot more. If you talk to Julia, the first thing she’ll tell you is that she loves her “tree” and she can’t wait to ride that R.H.D.D. bus. Coshocton County R.H.D.D. is a non-profit organization that provides services for people in the community with disabilities. Visit their Web site for more information at www.rhdd.org.

Tickets for the show are $5. “It’s fun to watch the students grow and accomplish something through dedication,” said English. “It’s such a positive experience for them. There’s so much that goes on in a musical and it pulls kids from all different groups in school together and they become friends. They really bond together and it becomes like a family.”

Thespians at the River View High School love being on stage and it shows during their rehearsals. During every moment, the actors and actresses break character only when instructed by their director. When they walk on that stage, they are no longer themselves, but transform into their characters. This spring, the River View Thespians will be performing Oklahoma! on April 30 and May 1 at 7:30 p.m. Doors open at 7 p.m. The High School gymnasium have been transformed into a quaint country setting that was designed and created by three men whose children have graduated. But they still come back every year to help create the scenery and make the performance come alive. “Without those three guys, I don’t know what we would do without them,” said Debbie English, director. Rehearsals started in February and have been going well despite having to miss a few because of the snow. The first rehearsals dealt mainly with character development and procuring costumes, which are provided by the students themselves. As time progressed, the students and director began the blocking process where each scene is painstakingly scrutinized and all the mistakes are worked out. “I like the show because it’s so much fun to do,” said Colby Tarrh, who plays the lead role Curley, “My character, Curley, is so much fun to portray. His songs are so happy and go-lucky. All the characters are really a lot of fun.” The average person doesn’t know what goes on behind the scenes, even at a small high school production. Along with character development, there is choreography, lighting, sound, hair and make-up, getting tickets ready, storing costumes, all which work together to make the play run smoothly. Royalty dues are also something most people don’t think about. They can cost up to $2,000, depending on the play. “We really appreciate businesses and the community for donating money and allowing these kids to have this experience,” said English,

Coshocton Friends of the Animal Shelter changes name Coshocton Friends of the Animal Shelter is in the process of changing their name to Four Paws Friends, according to Sandi Guinther, president of the association. The Board of Directors voted to change the name at the annual meeting on March 9. The purpose is to help clarify to the public the differences between the two non-profit associations, Guinther said. “Over the years, there has been a lot of confusion about Friends of the Animal Shelter and the actual Animal Shelter,” she said. “In some cases, people thought we were one and the same group. We are not. I have talked to Chris Sturtz, Humane Officer for the County, and she is in complete agreement that there needs to be a name change. Originally, the Friends of the Animal Shelter was formed to raise money for physical things needed at the Shelter. In years past, Friends
of the Animal Shelter purchased dog cots for the kennels, paid for and installed automatic waterers in the kennels, had the kennels repainted, purchased a large grooming bath tub, and spent $10,000 on special cages for the Cat Isolation Room. They also spearheaded a $120,000 building expansion, and with the help of many contractors in the area, saw that project completed in 2009. Periodically we are also able to donate pet food and newspapers to the Shelter. In June of 2009, Friends of the Animal Shelter opened a Thrift Store & Pet Adoption Center at 504 Main Street which will now be called Four Paws Thrift Store & Pet Adoption Center. At year’s end, 2009, we found “forever homes” for 117 dogs and 129 cats through the Adoption Center and Cat Adoption Center at Tractor Supply Company. Money raised through the store and other donations are now being used
to adopt animals from the Animal Shelter, along with caring for owner surrendered animals. Once these animals are surrendered or purchased from the Shelter, they are spayed or neutered, vet checked, updated on vaccines, heartworm checked and bathed in preparation for finding a new “forever home” for them. Proceeds are also used to help transport groups of dogs to other rescues on the east coast that have stricter spay and neuter laws and are desperate for loving pets. The new name, Four Paws Friends, easily ties in with the Thrift Store name and makes it easier for people to understand that we are not the Animal Shelter. We are a no-kill rescue center for dogs and cats. In addition, it will be much easier when doing fund raising projects for the public to know if their money is going to Four Paws or the Animal Shelter.

Would you like to ride in my beautiful balloon? Well, you can, and all you have to do is sponsor one. The Coshocton County Chamber of Commerce and the hot air balloon festival committee are seeking businesses and individuals to sponsor balloons for the 2010 Frontier Power Hot Air Balloon Festival. One person from the sponsoring business gets to take a ride on Friday evening, weather permitting. After the sponsor ride, sponsors are invited to join the pilots and crew for a hog roast. Your business name will be attached to the balloon basket all weekend announcing your support. Each year, the balloon festival committee invites past sponsors to continue their support. Those invitations are now out, and it’s time to open the opportunity to businesses that did not sponsor last year. For $500, you can support the festival and be a part of offering free entertainment to Coshocton County. The Hot Air Balloon Festival is the longest continuously running hot air balloon festival in Ohio and brings thousands of visitors to
Coshocton County every year. The hotels are full and restaurants are busy. Call the Chamber of Commerce at 622-5411 for information about how you can support this wonderful event.

Coshocton County is a hotbed of archeological material. New information is being discovered yearly. Dr. Nigel Brush, Associate Professor of Geology at Ashland University, will share some of his recent findings on Thursday, April 29 at 7 p.m. at the Johnson-Humrickhouse Museum in Roscoe Village. The topic of Dr. Brush’s lecture is The Cullison Protohistoric Village Site at Warsaw and the Warsaw Warrior petroglyph. The Cullison Protohistoric Village Site is located near the present village of Warsaw and was occupied by Native Americans between A.D. 1610 and 1660. Dr. Brush conducted an archeological fieldschool at this site in the summer of 1995 with students from the College of Wooster. Artifacts recovered from the site included flint tools, flint debitage, stone tools, pottery, animal bones, and plant remains. During the Beaver Wars (A.D. 1650-1700), Iroquois warriors from the area of present-day New York State made frequent raids on the Ohio Country and eventually drove most of the indigenous population from their homes. A petroglyph found at the Cullison Site may depict one of these Iroquois warriors. Dr. Brush has published two articles on his work at this site: “The Cullison Site: A Protohistoric Village in East Central Ohio” (Archeology of Eastern North

Keim Lumber’s 2010 Anniversary Breaks Record Keim Lumber Company, which will be 100 years old in 2011, continues to be a leader in the building materials and home improvement market. For the second year in a row, Keim’s Anniversary sale, April 14-17, set an all-time high in a down economy. When the 2009 anniversary sale ended with a record setting volume of sales, the Keim Lumber staff was elated. As the year rolled on and 2010 came with a continued slump in the building industry, there was little hope to match the record sales volume. But with a slight uptick in the housing market and the continued expanding of Keim’s product and service lines, the seemingly impossible happened. When the
first two days of Keim’s 2010 sale were slightly down from 2009, the staff was disappointed yet grateful for the sales volume, which they were seeing. After Friday’s moderate sales, it looked like a good sale, but not another record-setter. But by the close of business on Saturday, there were plenty of smiles as the total sales rose to a new high several thousand dollars over the 2009 record. There were also smiles in the homes of this year’s prize winners. Jim Register of Wooster was the winner of a $10,000 Keim Lumber gift card, Regan Schlabach of Walnut Creek received a $5,000 gift card and Kenneth Haas of Valley City Ohio received a $2,000 gift card.

Scott Van Horn of Loudonville won the 3-cushion, outdoor swing and Wayne L. Miller of Sugarcreek won this year’s teen drawing for a $100 gift card. Congratulations to all the winners. Business continues in this 100th year of Keim Lumber, in Charm Ohio, and the Keim family and staff look forward to continued growth. Will the 100-year Anniversary Sale in 2011 be another record setter. We’ll have to wait and see.

State Rep. Troy Balderson visits children at Coshocton Head Start Children in Brenda Brown’s Head Start class received a special treat on Thursday, April 15 when State Representative Troy Balderson stopped by to read to them. Troy read, “The Grouchy Ladybug” by Eric Carle. It was about a grouchy ladybug who met a happy ladybug. Instead of sharing his food with the happy ladybug, he said, “Get lost.” One little boy in Brenda’s class observed that, “Those were not kind words.” The grouchy ladybug picked fights with other insects, hyenas, a gorilla, an elephant, and even a whale. Finally, the whale’s tail hit the ladybug and he flew all the way back to where he started from. He once again met the happy ladybug and he shared his dinner with the grouchy ladybug, even though he had not been nice to him that morning. After the story was read, Brenda and volunteers gathered balloons and led the kids outside. The children had each written a note

attached to the balloon with the Coshocton County Head Start address. They are hoping, whoever finds the balloons, will write them back. After letting them go and watching them sail into the air, the kids talked about where they hoped the balloons would land. One little girl hoped her balloon will make it to Santa while another said her balloon was probably already to Mexico by now. The balloons were to commemorate Young Child’s Week, which was April 12 – 16. Every day, a different activity was planned. Monday was hat day and they read Cat in the Hat, Tuesday was favorite color day and the kids mixed different colors and painted, Wednesday was green day and the kids cleaned up around the school, and Thursday was crazy day where kids wore their craziest outfit. “This is definitely the best part of my job,” said Troy Balderson. “Anytime you get to spend time with kids, whether it’s reading to them or at the state house, it’s always the best. It’s my way of giving back and I’m glad I get the opportunity to spend time with them.”

Port Authority seeking Brownfield sites The Coshocton Port Authority is seeking the public’s help to identify any potential brownfield sites. The effort is part of a process the agency has undertaken to develop a countywide brownfield site inventory. The port authority was awarded two $200,000 U.S. Environmental Protection Agency grants last year to assess potential brownfield sites and properties with petroleum underground storage tank issues. A brownfield site is defined as real property for which the expansion, redevelopment, or reuse of which may be complicated by the presence or perceived presence of a hazardous substance, pollutant, or contaminant according to BJAAM Environmental, Inc. The Canal Fulton firm has been retained by the port authority to implement the scope of services outlined in the federal grant award.
“I encourage any individual who has direct or indirect knowledge of a potential brownfield site anywhere in Coshocton County to contact the port authority with as much information as possible,” said executive director T.J. Justice. A form is available at www. coshoctonportauthority.com. Justice said that once an inventory is generated, the list of sites will then be prioritized in terms of potential redevelopment and other factors. Some sites will be selected to have Phase I and Phase II environmental assessments conducted along with remedial action plans. Typical brownfield sites include abandoned or underutilized industrial sites, such as factories or other manufacturing sites, and commercial sites, such as dry cleaners, petroleum bulk facilities, and gas stations, as well as former residential sites which have asbestos Quality Work at a Competitive Price! may contamination.

house. Four years later, Jim and Elsa founded Citizens Against Domestic Violence and pushed for House bill 19, dubbed “Tina’s Law” to pass. House bill 19 mandates that, starting next school year, 7th – 12th grade students must be taught how to recognize and prevent teen dating violence and bullying. This program will reach 296,000 students every year. “We need prevention,” said Jim Croucher, “We have intervention, but, especially with young people, that’s where we can make a difference.” Statistics show that 74% of violent adults came from an abusive home. “I hope they understand the seriousness of teen dating violence and domestic violence and how our young people are involved in this and how they are dying,” said Jim Croucher, “Your community needs to take a stand and if you don’t, a lot of your young people are going to lose their lives or be in a bad situation.” After their presentation, awards were presented to Deputy Nancy Wilt, of Coshocton Sherriff’s Department, Christine Wilson, Coshocton Municipal Court Probation Officer, Donna Ryan, Clerk of Courts Office Common Pleas Court, and a representative of the Emmanuel Lutheran Church for their efforts in helping victims of domestic violence. An honorary award was given to Judge Richard Evans for his years of service. The Coshocton County Memorial Hospital provided a lunch of deli buffet-roast beef, ham, turkey, cheeses, soups, chips, pies, pasta salad, and a variety of drinks.

Only four days before Christmas of 1992, Tina Croucher was brutally murdered by her exboyfriend while she slept safe in her bed. He then turned the gun on himself. After dealing with unspeakable grief and heartache, Tina’s parents, Jim and Elsa Croucher, decided to form Citizens Against Domestic Violence to help educate students and young adults about this horrible occurrence. Since its founding in 1996, Jim and Elsa have spoken to 94,000 students around Ohio about domestic violence, how to have a healthy relationship, and how to recognize signs of a bad one. On Tuesday, April 20, Jim and Elsa came to Victim’s Right’s Week Annual Lunch at the Presbyterian Church. They began their presentation by telling a little about Tina’s relationship with her boyfriend. She met a boy from another high school, who incidentally had been raised in an abusive home, and they started dating. Elsa said she noticed little things about him she didn’t like. He started telling her what she could and couldn’t wear, he would get jealous when she talked to other boys, and he even transferred to her school so he could be with her all the time. Elsa said the control he had over her quickly became abuse. When Tina came home with a black eye, she said some of her friends were playing football and the ball hit her in the eye. Jim and Elsa were suspicious. Then, one day, the boy was suspended from school for shoving her up against a wall. Tina’s parents advised her to break off the relationship. She did. Suddenly, he was everywhere. Every time Tina went to class or the grocery store, he was right there behind her. There were no stalking laws in affect at this time, and finally, he convinced Tina to take him back, showing her

During those six years, he has been conducting a mock car crash in the Coshocton County school districts each year.

On Wednesday, April 14, 165 out of 230 students signed a “Prom Safety Pledge” at an assembly. “I hope they take this home with them and practice what we’ve told them,” said Childress, safety supervisor, “In the past, we’ve had some bad things happen.
