Okay, I know that the 157th annual Coshocton County Fair hasn’t even started yet and I’m writing in the past-tense. Please bear with me. The county fair brings a fl ood of special memories to mind, from my youth when we took Black Angus steers and mom packed a picnic lunch that we ate out of the car, to much more recent memories of our own kids taking sheep. I look back fondly on the fair as a glorious time of year when a youngster of 14 or 15 was granted the freedom of roaming the fairgrounds with impunity, taking in all the sights and sounds that were normal for a

teenager of the 1970’s. Ahhh, the arcade. I know that I wore a path that still exists between the barns and the arcade. I remember checking all of the coin return trays for those “unclaimed” quarters that almost always existed somewhere in the arcade. I had my favorites of course, just like any other kid. If I close my eyes and concentrate, I can still hear the various sounds emanating from the arcade. (Or is that those little horns from the kiddy ride area?) I wasn’t much on the racing games, rather enjoying the “shoot ‘em up” games more. That is what mom called them, I recall. As I got older, my job was to train

my younger brothers on the fi ner points of arcading. I think that I did a good job in that category. They both seem to be doing okay! Of course, now the games are that much more sophisticated, with everything from bashing those frogs silly to - prediction here on this year’s favorite – Guitar Hero.Now you know one of my teenage arcade secrets. Besides listening to Steppenwolf and Deep Purple, there isn’t much more. I never had to resort to sneaking through the fence (over) since our 4-H passes got us in. Next on the list has to be the food! French Fries, candy apples, hamburgers at the school eat stands, of course,

I had to eat at what is now my alma mater, River View, but a youth soon learns what food stand has the “best of the best”. Of course, I can’t reveal that here – you need to eat at Coshocton, Ridgewood and River View or one of the many other “specialty” food stands to fi nd out for yourself!The fair rarely goes by that I don’t think of my Grandma Bernice Doughty and her passion for the fair. Whether it was a rock garden complete with moss, fl owers or vegetables, it was a special time going to the fair with Grandma and spending time in

Several of you mentioned that you missed reading this column in our last issue. So, here goes.

A lot can happen in a week or two, that’s for sure. The last ballgame at the venerable Yankee Stadium, a hurricane blows through and takes out the majority of something we take for granted – no, not political yard signs – our electricity! And there’s that little issue in Washington and on Wall Street. Regarding where all the money went, my sources (and they are credible, I assure you!) tell me that it was Colonel Mustard with the candlestick in the kitchen. Okay, I know it’s not a laughing matter. I haven’t had the courage to check my mutual funds or stocks but that coffee can buried in the yard like many of our grandparents is starting to sound not so, umm, ancient. Do you think our leaders can get this mess fi xed? Do you ever wonder how this sort of thing of happens right under our noses and especially, under the noses of the national media? Frankly, I think most of them (national media) are trying to fi gure out the next hit reality show or keep our politicians on the national level from interrupting each other like a couple of kindergartners on the evening talk show circuits. Notice a trend here? That word “national” cropped up a couple of times. Is focusing on our own community starting to sound like the real plan of action that we need to be working on? You bet it is. If you’re like me, you

have probably fi gured out by now that while you can vote and have an impact in that manner, we can have a much more positive impact by working right here in our own backyard to fi x our problems. Washington isn’t coming to our rescue – at least in the real sense. They seem to have a long list of their own problems right now. And maybe for the foreseeable future? This is not to say that the Representatives for our area are not trying to help us – they are – and they have. The point is that we need to help ourselves fi rst. Pull ourselves up by the bootstraps as I heard over the weekend. And we are. We are fortunate to have people working and serving unselfi shly on our behalf for this community. The just completed Jones Zylon air show is another fi ne example of a dedicated group of volunteers, sponsors and community members coming together for a common cause that promotes the best that our area has to offer. Raising funds to get the airstrip to 5,000 feet in length will have a lasting impact for future generations of Coshocton County residents. If China keeps having recalls (the latest one is dairy as you may have heard) maybe someday we can offer tax incentives to the leaders of corporate America to keep their plants in the U.S. You never know when a board member of Saturn, Hyundai or some new energy saving technology like windmills or solar may fl y into Richard Downing

Airport to gas up, take in a play at the new amphitheatre, enjoy a hamburger from Limburg’s Patio Grill, grab a bottle of wine from Raven’s Glenn, Shawnee Springs or Rainbow Hills, get a hole in one at one of our local golf courses, take a tour of Roscoe Village, grab an ice cream at one of our many locally owned and operated venues and fall in love with, as one of the guests at the Roscoe Village Wine, Art and Garden Festival so aptly put it, our “quaint, cute little town”. The next visit they may very well bring the family. So look sharp. Keep fi xing up and sprucing up. Hey, at least I didn’t say Honda.

You just never know.

the agricultural hall looking at the grange exhibits. If you have not done that – you should. The vibrant fall colors of canned vegetables, jams and jellies, pumpkins, gourds and other treats take a special group of people a lot of time to prepare for our enjoyment. To me, the grange hall has a unique smell that just smacks of the fair.Tip your hat to the 4-H leaders and advisors, FFA advisors, the OSU extension staff, volunteers, senior and junior fair board and all the other people,

groups and organizations that bring us the county fair. Recognize the values that they are instilling into the youth of our county today. Our young people work hard all summer, oftentimes starting early in the spring to prepare their projects; feeding, training and grooming their livestock for a chance at glory in the show ring. The preparation of the barns, art halls, educational building exhibits and the commercial buildings help bring the fair alive and turn it into a living, breathing event that, for awhile, allows this forty-something to return to fond memories of my youth. So here’s to you Mrs. Hothem, Mrs. Brown, Mrs. Finnell, Mr. Griffi th and Mr. Buxton. Your guidance and patience meant more than you will ever know.

The Senior Services Levy is a RENEWAL, NOT A NEW TAX. Each year over 1,200 senior citizens receive service.

Coshocton County senior citizens depend on these vital services. In addition, these funds are used as “matching funds”

which brings in additional federal funding for senior citizen programming. We all have a parent, grandparent, neighbor, or friend who has benefited from these services. Some who

might otherwise have to choose between food and medication, who only get one hot meal a day and someone to check on

The Jones Zylon “Wings Over Coshocton” Air Show drew several thousand people to the top of airport hill on a gorgeous Saturday afternoon. Those in attendance witnessed the fastest “port-o’ potty” on wheels, got to see the Ohio Air National Guard C-130 from Mansfi eld ANG base perform several aerial combat maneuvers and of course, the Misty Blues, an all women s k y d i v i n g team as they brought the A m e r i c a n fl ag to air show center. The warmth of the sun and slightly c l o u d y skies gave way to the throaty roar of two Pratt & Whitney engines as they powered the “Gooney Bird” DC-3 aloft. There is no mistaking this unique aircraft that many say set the stage for all commercial airliners to date. From the shiny aircraft aluminum nose to the uniquely designed wingspan, this airplane deserves its’ place in aircraft lore. The Yankee Air Force B-25D bomber gave the crowd another chance to “ooh and ah”, as the aircraft that bore Doolittle’s Raiders to Tokyo from the

decks of a U.S. aircraft carrier in the early stages of World War II spun up its’ two engines and roared down the runway. The race between the world’s fastest Dodge Ram (powered by a jet engine) and Jim “Fang” Maloney wasn’t even close, as the Dodge tore up the airstrip in a bid to defeat Maloney once again. Speaking of the airstrip, the purpose of the air

show is to raise funds that will i n c r e a s e the length of Richard D o w n i n g A i r p o r t r u n w a y number 22 to 5,000 feet, a length that will allow many more a i r c r a f t

to land at the top of airport hill. The sponsors, (especially Jones Zylon), the volunteers, air show coordinators, pilots, Bethel Toler and his team at the airport deserve special recognition for putting on a great show in the skies over Coshocton County for the third straight year. While the air show is taking a one year hiatus, you can bet that the planning and discussions for a grand show in 2010 have already begun.

“Baby of Mine” is a new business located at 125 North Third Street in Coshocton. The store has been open since the beginning of May and is co-owned by Sara Kulbacki and her mother, Mickey Hammond. The main focus of the shop is natural and organic products for mother and child, but there is also a nice selection of products for everyone, with new items coming in weekly. The idea for the business came while on a trip to Canton to buy organic baby food. Sara mentioned that she was tired of having to travel to Canton to fi nd natural and organic products for her three daughters. The idea of starting a

small shop in Coshocton was discussed, but not too seriously. Then the space at 125 North Third became available. This was in March, so some quick decisions had to be made. An opening date of May 1st had been decided and that gave the owners only two months to get paperwork, legalities, designing and remodeling the shop, research, deciding on and ordering inventory, and the dozens of other steps to be taken before opening day. The ladies accomplished all of this and the store has been in business now for about three months. While the two partners found that they could not carry organic baby food because of high minimum orders from suppliers, they do have a nice selection of products and are continuing to add items. They even have a baby shower registration for expectant mothers. A very popular product has been the ‘Melissa and Doug” line of non-toxic toys that are good old fashioned fun and educational at the same time. The business also carries a

complete line of cloth diapering systems, organic soaps, lotions and shampoos for all ages, organic sunscreen and bug repellent, high quality children’s sunglasses, organic cotton children’s clothing and bedding, feeding supplies, nursing items, pregnancy helps, natural laundry detergent, baby keepsake gifts, BPA-free bottles and sippy cups, and much more. There are also items in the store that are not necessarily related to babies and children, such as men’s old fashioned shaving kits, classic games, home décor and of course, Rose Cottage candles, the company that Mickey Hammond has owned for eight years. Rose Cottage Candles are wonderfully fragrant, clean burning soybean candles that are available in over sixty fragrances now. Every candle is handmade from start to fi nish in Hammond’s studio. “I can easily guarantee the quality and performance of every candle I sell, because I am the one that creates and inspects them one at a time.

There is no assembly line mentality with Rose Cottage Candles.” Although “Baby of Mine” is not a large shop, the owners try to maximize selection of natural and organic products for all ages and interests. They are looking forward to serving the needs of their customers for many years to come. Helping local families choose a healthier more natural lifestyle is an ongoing goal. Baby of Mine is located at 125 North Third Street in Coshocton. Store hours are Monday thru Thursday 10 am to 5 pm, Friday 10 am to 6 pm, Saturday 10 am to 3 pm and closed Sunday. Phone is 740-622-6588.

Baby of Mine offers natural and organic products and more for Mother and Child

Mary Jane’s Cottage offers the convenience of an entire house and yard for the visitor’s pleasure and a continental breakfast for the cost of most motel and B&B rooms. The house once stood on Cambridge Road in Coshocton and was dismantled, moved and reassembled in Plainfi eld sometime in the 1950’s. The cottage offers a living room, fully equipped kitchen, full bath, one queen bedroom, one twin bedroom, and large yard with swing, patio with umbrella table and chairs and gas grill. Situated at 112 Church Street in Plainfi eld, which is a dead end street, the cottage offers peace and quiet for visitors. Mary Jane’s Cottage is owned by Ron and Pat Phillips and is named after Ron’s sister, Mary Jane Lange, who was the owner and passed away in 2007. Years of staying in B&B’s, inns and guest houses when travelling prompted the Phillips to open their own guest house in Plainfi eld. After a year of hard work on the house, Mary Jane’s Cottage opened August 1st of this year. Mary Jane’s Cottage offers reasonable rates, comfortable accommodations and a central location for area attractions that can attract visitors to our area. The Phillips goal is to provide a quiet, comfortable retreat for travelers who will wish to return.

On Wednesday, September 10th, students from Coshocton and River View schools made the annual 4th grade trek to the fairgrounds for Ag Awareness Day. Sponsored by the Coshocton County Farm Bureau, the event is no glorifi ed petting zoo; students and teachers visited educational stations set up in and near the livestock barns. “Today they get to experience agriculture through sight, taste and touch,” says Susan Brinker, Organizational Director of the Coshocton County Farm Bureau. “We have 17 different stations, ranging from dairy to bees. It’s an effort to help the students understand that food doesn’t just come from the grocery store. We like to use the phrase ‘farm gate to plate’”. “It’s an opportunity to promote agriculture,” adds Alan Brinker of ASB Farms. “Any time you can get in front of kids with something you believe in, it’s always worthwhile. We’re putting more emphasis on the environment – recycling, conservation – because it’s the right thing to do. Our natural resources may not always be here, and it’s our civic duty to educate and to care for what God has provided us with.” A prime example of that environmental effort is GPS for farm tractors. Mapping of soil types for every US county has already been accomplished, taking approximately 40 years to complete. Today, GPS can tell a farmer what type of soil each acre comprises, which nutrients his soil needs, and even his prospective yield per acre. Armed with this data, he can plant accordingly and avoid adding too many nutrients to ground that doesn’t need it. “We as farmers are trying to be more effi cient,” Alan explains. “We want to be environmentally cognizant … to be stewards of the land.” Not all the stations were so high-tech. At a photosynthesis and plant anatomy station, Debbie Gaumer and Kristy Leindecker from the Garden Patch chose students from each group to act as the plant, food, water, soil, sun and nutrients, creating a fun, interactive lesson. The Garden Patch has participated for about 4 years, Kristy said. “We enjoy teaching the community, especially the people who don’t live in an agricultural area.”Mr. Tim Ward, teacher at South Lawn Elementary, has brought his 4th graders to Ag Awareness Day since its inception. The variety of different people and their knowledge is what he enjoys most about the program. “There’s so much information here for them … science, social studies. At some stations, the kids are like – ‘we learned that in social studies!’ It connects at school both now and later on in the year.” At the Soil & Water Conservation District’s station, students practiced their putting skills. Deb Bigelow manned a large putting board with Coshocton County painted on it. Each area of the county is painted a different color. The goal was for students to putt a golf ball into the

hole that corresponded with the area in which they live. There was a lesson to be taught, as well. “What we do on land has a direct effect on what our water looks like,” Bigelow told the group. The students learned how to keep rivers clean by simply throwing trash in the proper receptacles instead of on the ground, where it can eventually wind up in our water. “The volunteers are doing a great job,” affi rms Sarah Fornava as we watched her class do their best Tiger Woods impersonations. Fornava, who teaches a gifted class at Sacred Heart, was experiencing Ag Awareness Day for the fi rst time. “They’re organized and kid-friendly. It ties in so well with what we’re teaching at school.” Students from Ms. Stout’s class at Union Elementary spent time with Earl James at the apiary station, where they learned about bees and their function in agriculture. Joseph Brenly, 9, felt the top of the safely enclosed beehive where the majority of the bees were congregating. “It’s warmer at the top of the hive where they’re all together,” Joseph said, explaining what he had learned from Earl. “They have to keep the temperature at 95 degrees to keep their larvae warm.” Across the barn from the honeybees, The OSU Extension Offi ce offered insight into the price breakdown of agricultural products. For example, if you pay $4.00 for a gallon of milk, that doesn’t mean the dairy farmer made $4.00. They want the students to understand the many steps and expenses involved between the farm and the grocery store … logistics, processing, transportation, advertising, etc. Livestock was presented, as well. Sheep, pigs, a dairy calf, llamas and goats were on display, and their agricultural value was shared with the 4th graders while they petted and admired the animals. The swine and the llamas were a hit with the Keene Elementary group. “I liked seeing the animals and learning exciting facts about them,” said Sarah Eick, 10, of Mrs. McPeck’s class. “We were the only class the pigs laid down for and didn’t squeal! Plus, I learned that llamas only spit when they’re really upset.” 10-year-old Jesse Lawrence, also of Keene Elementary, enjoyed learning about llamas’ split lips and about electric fences. He also liked the swine, but in a different way than Sarah – “We got to eat pork and pretzels!” As Susan Brinker had said, experiencing agriculture through tasting was part of the day’s education. At the Coshocton County Dairy Service Unit’s station, Secretary-treasurer Maureen Pritchard had a variety of foods on display which students might not realize are made from milk. While they sampled goods like milk and cheese, they were taught how to look for the “real milk” symbol on product labels.

The 4th graders were also able to pet a dairy calf and learned a bit about how to care for it. Mrs. Hahn’s class from Central Elementary spent a few minutes with Elaine Ashcraft and Liam, a 7-month-old Scottish black-face sheep. Here they heard about fi bers, the history of wool, facts about sheep and why man uses wool. “These people are absolutely so terrifi c in showing their love of what they do and their expertise to the children. We love coming,” expresses Hahn, who has attended with her students for the past 10 years. Outside the barns sat a new and very apt addition to Ag Awareness Day – the Soy Bus. Sponsored by the Ohio Soybean Council, the cheerfully painted, biodiesel-fueled Soy Bus is an educational resource on wheels. David Blankenship, who is based in Columbus and drove the Soy Bus to Coshocton, says, “Our major focus is to educate the public … we’re now using soybeans for both food and fuel. It’s important to keep agriculture and farmers a top priority – they’re who’s feeding us.” Blankenship urges schools to switch to biodiesel fuel in their school buses. Soy biodiesel is cleaner, non-toxic, fully biodegradable, renewable, and produced by Ohio farmers. What’s more, it can be used in existing diesel engines without modifi cation. Currently, through the Clean Air For Kids program, the state of Ohio awards grants of up to $25,000 to each school district that switches to biofuel. The funding is intended to offset the price difference between the alternative fuel and regular diesel. Ohio soybean farmers and their checkoff have made this program possible through soybean research and development. Their efforts have led to the quality of soy biodiesel available to our community. Over 20 Ohio school districts are already using biodiesel.

As the event wrapped up, everyone seemed very pleased with the course of the day. The volunteers at each station all genuinely enjoyed teaching the students something about their fi elds of expertise, and the teachers and students progressed smoothly from station to station and were kept busy and engaged at each stop. Among the categories already mentioned, area 4th graders had the opportunity to visit stations focusing on ATV Safety, timber with the ODNR, aquaculture with Fender’s Fish Hatchery, and received information from Coshocton Grain and the Trappers Association. “We hope we taught them something, and gave them something to think about,” says Karen Cutshall of Heidi Hill Goats. She was impressed with the attention and interest the students showed at her station, where they were given facts about goats and the opportunity to meet Beckett, Karen’s Nubian goat. “They were all interested, and they asked great questions!”… Token inquiry “Does chocolate milk come from brown cows?” notwithstanding.

Jim McClure, Executive Director of the Roscoe Village Foundation, stated that “Our fi rst wine, art and garden festival has been very good despite the weather. We had a decent crowd for a fi rst time event and we are especially pleased that, of the eight wineries in attendance, all three of our local wineries were able to participate. This event is a takeoff from the annual Fall Garden Festival with the added components of wine tasting and art.” Following our conversation with McClure, we caught up with Casey Claxon and several attendees that were partaking

of the various wines. Claxon and his family were performing on the stage. The Claxon Family has been performing since they were kids and he mentioned that “they were excited to perform in front of local folks. It’s just more exciting to perform in front of people that you know”. Alice Hoover was portraying Eliza Johnson, the wife of town doctor Myra Johnson and explained to festival goers how canal era families used herbs in the kitchen and for medicinal purposes.

First Roscoe Wine, Art & Garden Festival Deemed a Success! by Mark Fortune

Pictured are Sheila Harris (left) and Stephanie Goldsmith of Zanesville who said that they were enjoying the festival and “Just wanted to try the local wineries”. They are trying one of the several varieties of wine from local Coshocton County winery, Shawnee Springs, owned by Cindy and Randy Hall. Pictured here are Scott Callahan II and Cindy Hall. Like the other wineries in our county, Shawnee Springs is truly a family affair, with Scott Callahan II being the chief bottler and Richard Brenly working in the wine tasting area. The Hall’s have owned the winery for eleven years now.

“Going Green” is a familiar topic to Jeff Wherley, head of the Coshocton County Recycling and Litter Prevention program. Wherley explained that the household hazardous waste collection day, which was held at the Coshocton County Career Center on Saturday, September 13th, is by far the most expensive event that they do. Wherley worked with Cincinnati based Environmental Enterprises Inc. and explained that, “This day gives people an option that otherwise does not exist in this part of Ohio”. Asked about the general nature of recycling in our area, Wherley went on to state that the trailer program has increased in volume and weight each year. Coshocton’s curbside program is also doing better. “Green is hot right now”, says Wherley, “people are hearing about it and recycling is an important fi rst step”. The day’s traffi c fl ow was coordinated by the ever present Coshocton County R.E.A.C.T., or the guys in orange shirts as many have come to identify them. Wherley especially expressed

his thanks to R.E.A.C.T., saying that “These guys have saved my bacon more times than I can count. They do a lot for the community”. You can contact Wherley at his offi ce in Nellie by calling 740-824-5533 to fi nd out more about how you can help our environment.

The 38th annual Junior Women’s Club Bargain Fair for Coshocton County still drew a nice crowd of customers despite rainy and inclement weather. Pictured are volunteer members of the organization Debora Jumper, Donna Frank, Christy Gauerke and Pam Baker. The group holds the annual bargain fair at the fairgrounds in early September and features gently used clothing, bric ‘n brac and other items for sale. (Beacon photo by Mark Fortune)

A group of local community members has formed a ‘Citizens Circle” Group. What is this group? Citizens Circle is a partnership of local concerned citizen volunteers that work with the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction to help released offenders “Go Home to Stay”. This group meets the second Monday of each month at the Shepherd’s Christian Assembly at 311 Main Street in Towne Centre, Coshocton. Citizen Circles are groups of community members committed to helping participants make the change from “offender” to “citizen”. They also create partnerships that promote positive

social interaction and accountability to help participants become productive citizens. They also communicate to participants the belief that their debt has been paid and the community is willing to accept them as a restored citizen. Citizen Circles provide the opportunity for developing partnerships, making a difference in participant’s behavior while promoting community safety. A training session was held on September 19th at the Nazarene Church with Lisa Fernandez of the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Corrections conducting the session. The mission of the Citizen Circle is “community hands illuminating the path, for willing individuals, to complete the transitions needed for re-entry into society.”

For more information on the monthly meetings, contact Tim Markel at 740-502-7139 or Pastor Starkey Lawrence at 740-623-3888.

Jr. Women’s Club Bargain Fair Serves the Community

The recent high winds that caused severe damage and electrical outages across Coshocton County had a positive affect with regard to neighbors and friends joining together to share generators, water, meals and perhaps, some memories of “the good ‘ol days”. That is, the days without running water, lights, television, DVD players, and all of those other gadgets that tend to take time away from friends and family. Maybe you had some time to “reconnect” with your family or friends and neighbors. The togetherness that is Coshocton County took another step forward with this recent event as we witnessed at the Salvation Army and New Beginnings Ministries this past week. I am sure there were many other churches,

organizations and groups that pitched in to help out, including the Coshocton

County Chapter of the American Red Cross. We just happened to be in the right vicinity of these two groups when they were helping feed neighbors in our community.Captain John Cornelius of The Salvation Army said that “we had lots of calls from people without electricity so we felt the need was there to provide hot meals to the community”. The Salvation Army was prepared to serve upwards of 300 to 400 people.We chatted with Mrs. Bill (Connie) Dunfee, wife of Pastor Bill Dunfee at New Beginnings Ministries and she stated that, “We just really felt that this was something we should do – we felt it was important to take care of our people

at home. That’s what it’s all about. We have the “Compassionate Outreach”

trailer that has been to Mississippi, Alabama, Columbus and other places of need in our country but this is home and

at this time we need to take care of our neighbors.”

If you spend any time at all at the Coshocton County Fair each fall, it won’t take you long to fi gure out where the best cheap food can be found… Though, if you didn’t attend the fair last year, you may have a bit more of a challenge. The 4H fair food stand, staffed each year by 4H members and volunteers from across the county, was relocated for the 2007 county fair. Now you’ll fi nd the best shredded chicken sandwiches, coney and kraut dogs and tacos-in-a-bag behind the bleachers in Hunter Arena - the indoor horse arena. Shirley Fry and husband Larry have been involved with the junior fair food stand for over twenty years. They also serve as club advisors to the Ribbon Winners 4H club that meets in Canal Lewisville, and Shirley has served on the 4H Advisory Committee in past years. The Frys remember when the stand operated out of a building constructed by Ridgewood’s FFA club around twenty-fi ve years ago. This building stood for many years between the cattle barn and Hunter Arena on a cement slab. While the location was convenient, inclement weather made it tough for folks waiting to order or receive their food, since there was no shelter. Workers also had to keep a diligent eye on supplies. Only a small storage trailer plus some refrigerated coolers, which were hauled in for fair week, provided the limited storage for food stand supplies for the entire fair week. “We always had a hard time keeping our pop cold,” explains Fry. In early 2007, the fair board requested that the stand be relocated to its present location. The new covered location – still very convenient for fair and show-goers alike - offers the senior fair board the

opportunity to sell food at other events at Hunter Arena. The current building was constructed through the efforts of Coshocton County’s 4H advisory c o m m i t t e e and senior fair board m e m b e r s . Additionally, last year the 4H advisory c o m m i t t e e acquired a l2-foot by 12-foot walk-in cooler for storing all supplies needed to operate the stand during fair week. “Having the cooler has been a huge benefi t to our o p e r a t i o n , ” says Fry.

When asked why the 4H food stand is so popular, Fry says she believes it is because of two major reasons. “First of all, we’re inexpensive,” she explains. “Many families are here all week, and when you’re trying to feed a family every day of fair week, it can get really expensive.” Fry’s right. Finding a good value among the vast array of choices can be a real challenge for families that spend lots of time at the fair.

Secondly, Fry says that the stand’s daily specials contribute heavily to profi ts. “Sunday is the swine show day, so we offer [barbeque] pork sandwiches that day and these are a very big seller,” she explains. “Then Monday is beef show day, so we have special pricing on our [barbeque] beef sandwiches. Tuesday is lamb show day, so we offer roast lamb sandwiches that day.” The stand is open from 6:00 a.m. until 10:00 p.m. each day of the fair, which means that it operates for all three meals

of the day. Because of this, the junior fair food stand is also quite popular for breakfast, offering their county-famous sausage sandwiches and ham sandwiches

– either with or without c h e e s e . B r e a k f a s t b e v e r a g e s include coffee, c appucc ino and hot c h o c o l a t e , along with orange and apple juice.

Profi ts earned from the food stand – which average close to $12,000 each year - go toward funding all county-wide 4H expenses i n c l u d i n g 4H camp scholarships, Friends of 4H awards, 4H

Ambassador awards, 4H Achievement Day awards, club advisor education expenses and the annual 4H Leadership Banquet expenses, among others. So what else makes the stand such a success? Ann Morgan, who also advises Ribbon Winners with her husband Henry, says that the food stand’s success is due to the incredible array of generous donors that support it each year. “Our biggest contributor each year is Kraft Foods,” says Morgan. Morgan serves as a key leader for the food stand on this year’s 4H Advisory Committee. She manages the food and supply donations, coordinating the effort and scheduling donation pickups each year. She and husband Henry have been involved in the food stand for close to ten years. She says that Kraft supplies all the paper products, the hot dogs, relish and other condiments, cheese and taco sauce. Other supporters include McDonalds, the Lowe Farm, the Locke

Farm, Dominos Pizza, Hanby Farms out of Nashport and Olde Village Meats of Frazeysburg. Without a doubt community support is the key to the food stand’s success each year. In addition to the donors, critical support comes from the many, many 4H families and friends that show up year after year to work the 3-hour shifts each and every day. “The donors are like the hub and our workers are like the spokes in the wheel that makes everything work,” says Fry. It’s Melody Lowe’s job to coordinate the worker schedules. Lowe is another key leader for the food stand on the 4H Advisory Committee. This is the fi fth year she and husband Kenn have been involved, coordinating workers and making sure they understand the food stand operation. “This year, for the fi rst time, we sent self-addressed postcards to our clubs who worked last year asking them to commit to their shifts,” she explains. The process must have made scheduling easier because the scheduling is complete and all the shifts have been covered for some time. Though the selection of food sold hasn’t changed much over the years, the quantities of items sold continues to grow from year to year. Sarah Jane Lindsey, 4H Youth Development Director agrees. “We’re one of, if not the largest food seller at the fair,” she says. “But what makes this effort so successful, in addition to our great leadership team and donors, is that our 4Hers really come together to serve the public and 4H families across the county.” Lindsey says that when workers from different clubs come together to work the food stand, the “meet and greet” value – though hard to measure – is rich.

For many fair-goers, the 4H fair food stand is the one place to get a great value and know that you’re contributing to one of the best parts of Coshocton County’s youth. Come by for a taco-in-a-bag, chicken and noodles or a barbeque pork sandwich and see for yourself how it all works. You won’t be disappointed.

The sound of dozens of feet stomping to the beat of “Onward Christian Soldiers” fi lled the historic Chalfant Church this past Sunday as members celebrated their 200th anniversary. Chalfant Church, founded in 1808 by Mordecai Chalfant, is the oldest church in Coshocton County, and located on County

Road 439 in Washington Township at the southern edge of our county. Certainly a more picturesque setting for an old country church could hardly be found. The scene outside the chapel is reminiscent of a landscape unchanged by the passing years and decades gone by, with fi elds of ripening soybeans and corn stretching into the horizon. Visitors from South Carolina, Indiana and other states helped fi ll the church as people with connections to the area and former members enjoyed lunch and time with friends and family. Several members talked about past memories that their time at the church brought forth, with couples that had been married in the church shedding a tear or two reminiscing. The current church building that sits across from Coshocton County’s oldest cemetery was built in 1893, with the Chalfant Society established in 1808. Bonnie and Herb Stevens were married in the church in April, 1954, and their family has a continuous line of church members. Today, like other members, they bring their family to the church so they can grasp an understanding of their heritage. Chalfant Church now observes special Sunday services at various times of the year along with programs centered on the church calendar. The church was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in the 1980’s. As

one of the speakers so eloquently put it on Sunday, “This small country church has made a large contribution to Coshocton County and God’s work, with several missionaries and Methodist Bishops coming from Chalfant Church. This place means a lot to our hearts, history and heritage”.

Pictured are Jane Siegrist, Fayebelle Siegrist, Bob McConnell (his great-grandfather was a Chal-fant member), Barbara Baughman (her mother’s mother was a Chalfant) and Bonnie Stevens. The Siegrist’s and Stevens coordinated the celebra-tion at the church and were recognized for their efforts during the service. (Beacon photo by Mark Fortune)

The purpose of the Conesville Health Fair, according to event coordinators Patty Payne and Denise Appis, “is to offer a free health service to the residents of Conesville and Franklin Township along with other parts of the county”. Nearly 50 people braved the early Saturday morning rain to have their blood pressure checked, prostate (PSA) test, colorectal cancer screen, thyroid and general health reviewed. The Conesville Cool Kids volunteered their time for the fourth straight year, and members of the Coshocton County Memorial Hospital, Coshocton County EMS and other members of event sponsor Village of Conesville helped staff the event.

Central Ohio Technical College (COTC) recently welcomed two new members to the college’s administrative team: Nicholas J. Parisi, M.Ed., dean of

engineering, industrial and business technologies; and Raymond D. Irwin, Ph.D., director of new program development. Both men bring extensive educational and administrative expertise to their new positions at COTC. Parisi joins COTC from Victor Valley College, in Victorville, California, where he was dean of career and technical education. At Victor Valley he oversaw 17 programs in health science, public safety, business and industrial technologies and was directly involved with developing new programs in collaboration with the Workforce Investment Board. “I’m very excited to be at COTC,” said Parisi. “One of my main goals as dean will be to explore ways the college can better prepare the workforce for expansion or other opportunities.” A native of Michigan, Parisi is enjoying his return to the Midwest and currently resides in Newark. He holds a master’s in education from Heritage

College, in Washington, and a bachelor’s in English from California Baptist University. Irwin is a past program director at the Japan-United States Teaching Institute, where he was involved in all levels of educational administration. Working with local industry and cultural institutions, he established a program in translation studies, the only one of its kind in the Midwest. The Worthington resident earned a B.A. and Ph.D. in history from The Ohio State University. He also holds a master’s in library and information science from Kent State University, and a law degree from the University of London. “I’m very much looking forward to working with area employers to fi nd ways COTC can meet the needs of the community and serve our student population,” he said.
