Parents Question Class Sizes at Beallsville;District Raises Substitute Pay Rate

Darin BrownGeneral Manager

As the Switzerland ofOhio Local School District[SOLSD] enters its secondschool year after a massivecut in teaching staff beforethe 2013/14 school year,class size is still an issue inthe district. Several parentsbrought forth complaintsduring the regular sessionmeeting of the Board ofEducation held at Beallsvilleschool on Sept. 18.

Currently, junior-highlevel English, history andscience classes each see 37students in the classroom atone time in the Beallsvilleschool. Parent Kelly Meadesaid of the situation, “Having37 students in one classroomis unacceptable.” ParentNikki Trigg addressed theboard and administration bysaying, “I want to know howthis is going to be fixed.”

Darin Brown,General Manager

Whether or not expecta-tions about job creation fromthe current oil and gas boomin the county have been metdepends upon whom youtalk to. However, it is unde-niable that the boom has cre-ated new opportunity forseveral industries not previ-ously a part of the county'sindustrial landscape. Amajor player in this shift has

been the Hannibal IndustrialPark. On Friday, Sept. 19,the facility celebrated yetanother new addition, as anopen house was held toshowcase the capabilities ofthe new Universal Blastcofacility.

Tripp Waynick, ExecutiveVice President of UniversalBlastco, said the company'snew facility in MonroeCounty is all about “servicingall this oil and gas activity.”

The company prepares andpaints items used mainly ininstalling pipelines. Sectionsof pipe, launchers andreceivers, tanks, manifolds,etc. are just some of the itemsthat the company paints.Speaking of the necessity ofwhat his company does,Waynick said, “Corrosion isnot an aesthetic issue. It's astructural issue. Companiesare spending lots of moneyon this equipment. Our job is

to protect their investment.” Such work was already

being done in the area beforeUniversal Blastco moved in,but on a much smaller scale.Waynick said there are sever-al good smaller shops.However, he added, “Therewas a need for a bigger facil-ity with bigger capacity tohandle bigger things.”Universal Blastco, which isbased in South Carolina andhas operated a facility in NewMartinsville since 1985, wasglad to fill the void.

The facility has all newequipment and a massivepaint booth serviced by ahigh-capacity crane. Whensomething is received topaint, it has to be preppedfirst. At that time workersblast the items with a sand-like powder to remove eventhe smallest amounts of oxi-dation. Items are then maskedin a staging area before enter-ing the paint booth. The com-pany uses urethane paint thatmeets strict VOC limitationsand coats items two, three orfour times, depending on thecustomer's request. Overall,all the specialized new equip-ment represents a two milliondollar investment by thecompany.

Part of the reason for theopen house was to reach outto fabricators. Currently, the

The Monroe CentralFootball Moms’ annual Tourof Homes features an array ofdifferent styles of living fromthe Victorian home of PaulaRing to a casual lakesidehome of Sharon Yoss. Thehomes of Kim and BonnieKilburn, Craig and AmyReich, Paula Ring, Dick andMarie Yoss and Sharon Yosswill be open during the 2014tour. The scenic beauty ofthese homes is just an extraplus to the lovely homes.

Located at 35433Miltonsburg-Calais Road,Woodsfield, the home of Kimand Bonnie Kilburn was builtin 1996 on property that wasowned by Kim’s family. “Webuilt our house in the middleof a cornfield,” says Bonnie.The location was chosenbecause a valley made theperfect spot for the pond thecouple wished to build. “Theroad was the hardest part,”noted Bonnie. “It took sever-al loads of stone to build it.”The original house designwas a log home but since logstake a lot of upkeep, brownvinyl siding was used to keepa rustic look.

The open concept is whatthe couple especially likesabout their design. The backof the house has lots of glass,which keeps it bright andopens to the natural beautyof the surroundings. Bonnielikes the natural light thataccentuates the browns andearth tones used throughoutthe house. The fireplace inthe living room is made frommanmade stone, which wasbecoming popular at thetime the house was built.

The hickory wood floor-ing was added more recentlyand looks so much like theoak which is so prevalentthroughout the house. “Ilove it,” said Bonnie.

The master bedroom over-looks the pond and provides

the perfect setting for a relax-ing soak in the hot tub locat-ed on the deck just outsidetheir bedroom. Up the stairsare a bathroom and Justin andAlex’s rooms. One side of thehallway is an open balconywhich overlooks the livingroom and accentuates theroom’s A-frame glass panels.Being an avid outdoorsmanand high school footballplayer, Justin’s room reflectsjust that. Collages, MonroeCentral memorabilia, alongwith his deer head andmounted large bass he caughtin their pond, paints a pictureof what is important in thisyoung man’s life. His brotherAlex also loves the outdoorlife. His room has the bestview of the pond, which ishome to three large whiteducks.

A beautiful cross stitchedquilt, made by Kim’s moth-er, Judy, has a special place

in the hallway. Bonnie notedher mother-in-law has mademany special quilts for fami-ly members.

The front porch was addedabout eight years ago. “Ialways wanted a gazebo sowe put one on the porch,”said this homeowner.

Bonnie’s Embroidery islocated within the home. “Istarted my business in theback part of the basementbut had no store front,” saidBonnie. The garage wasenclosed and made into afamily room/store front anda garage was added besidethe house.

The Kilburn home has alight, welcoming atmos-phere.

Nearby just past ShadowLake at 34400 Miltonsburg-Calais Road is the countryhome of Craig and AmyReich. It is a traditional two-story farm house built in the

early 1900’s and has beenhome to a Reich family sincethe mid-1970s when Craig’sfamily purchased the houseand 100-plus acre farm. “Thehouse had good bones butneeded major repairs andredesign before the familycould move in,” said Amy.

Walls and ceilings werereplaced but the originalwoodwork, staircase andpocket doors were removedand each piece marked andstored until they were putback. “It was rumored theremight be ghosts in the house,but the Reich boys wereassured by their mom that noghosts would have stayedwithout walls and with all thedust and noise,” said Amy.

According to Amy, the firstconstruction included build-ing a kitchen andbathroom/laundry by enclos-ing the back porch. Duringthe demolition and rebuildingprocess, pre-schoolers Craigand his brother Chris hadplenty of time exploring andacclimating to country living.Craig’s mom remembers himinstructing visitors that therewere three bathrooms at thisnew house, but the only onethey could use was outside.

More building projectsfollowed with a large addi-tion to the house for a fami-ly room, bedroom, bath andgarage. Craig’s dad was themain contractor/builder, buthe did hire some high schoolboys to help including Mr.Winland, Monroe Central’scurrent athletic director.

“Craig’s roots were firmlyplanted at the farm. He andhis dad started an autobodyrepair and used car businessand raised sweet corn andbeef cattle,” added Amy.Craig convinced Amy thatthe farm was big enough toinclude another family.When Craig’s family built a

I don’t think we can dis-pute it any longer. Fall isofficially here. The nightshave been getting cooler,and I have noticed leavesstarting to change colors.Some maple trees alreadyhave some flashes of brightred and orange.

Fall is definitely myfavorite season. There’ssomething about the crispsmell of leaves and theslight chill in the air that justmakes me feel good. There’snothing better than taking awalk on a nice fall day.

I am a little disappointedthis year that the BethelHarvest Festival is no more.I think they are having a din-ner of some kind instead.From what I hear, there justweren’t enough peopleavailable to work to puttogether a harvest festival.

Of course, there will bethe re-branded MonroeCounty Fall Festival (previ-ously the Black WalnutFestival) in a couple ofweeks. We will have a tabupcoming shortly with aschedule of events.

Speaking of fall festivals,I’m sure many of you areexcited about theBarnesville PumpkinFestival which is scheduledfor this weekend. I haven’t

been there since I was a kid.I know it’s a big deal. It’ssad to say, but I usuallyavoid Barnesville during thefestival because of trafficand crowds. When Adelineis older, though, we’ll haveto go for her.

That’s the funny thingabout having children. Theymake us get out and be moresocial. I’ve talked to parentsthat swore they would nevercoach any sports teams, yettheir kid’s team needed acoach and next thing youknow they’re coaching.

People do crazy thingsfor their kids. Laura and Imade our first crazy pur-chase for Adeline over theweekend. While lookingfor furniture for us, wecame across a child-sizedcamouflage recliner. Eventhough Adeline’s too little,we made the mistake of sit-ting her in it. She instantlylit up with a smile. Weknew then we had to buyone... boy are we suckers!Although it was still a littlefoolish to buy one, we atleast shopped around andfound a much cheaper one.It’s sitting in our livingroom now. I’m sure it’sonly the first of many pur-chases that her smile willcause.

High school football is infull swing. I was able toattend the best game of theseason last weekendbetween Monroe CentralNoles and CaldwellRedskins . When two teamsplay as hard as they did, it isa shame that one team had tolose. The fans were on theirfeet during the fourth quarteras well as the overtime peri-od. Watching games whenyou know the players on thefield, the cheerleaders, andthe students in the band aswell as many of the parentsin the stands makes the gameeven more exciting.

It is no secret among myfamily members and friendsthat football is my favoritesport to watch. This year,through my special connec-tions, I was able to purchasefour tickets to the Ohio StateBuckeye football gameagainst Cincinnati onSeptember 27th. Jeremyfelt he must attend the wed-ding of a friend from his

time in upstate New Yorkwhen a friend offered himthe chance to buy his tickets.My daughter-in-law haschosen to go to the gamewith me. She is a big OSUfootball fan as well. In fact,this will be her second gamethis season. We are takingPhilip and Debbie along too.Attendance at a Buckeyegame is not complete with-out packing a cooler full offood and sodas for a tailgateparty. We will enjoy anafternoon of fun sitting inour folding chairs watchingall the other crazy Buckeyesdoing the same thing. Thegame is slated to start at6:00 p.m. but we will getthere well before lunch andjust wander around lookingat the other 105,000 plusfans in their red shirts sport-ing their Buckeye necklaces.I have never been to a pro-fessional football game but Ican’t imagine them beingany more fun than watchingthe Buckeyes in person.

In the past, I have had thepleasure of being the desig-nated driver for my parentsto a couple of OSU games.In his later years, dad didn’tlike the traffic surroundingColumbus so he promised tonot complain as I drove inthat madhouse called gameday in Columbus. I knewthat he was sitting in thebackseat biting his tongue.There was always the gentlereminder on the way to thegame that he got the best gasmileage when he drove thespeed limit. At the time Ithink gasoline was close to$2.00 per gallon. (Guess wewon’t see that again.) Eventhough he was the one thattaught all of his children todrive, Dad was grateful thatwe would drive in “the city”.

Boy do I have great memo-ries of watching footballgames with Dad. I think I wasaround seven the first time hetook me to a game. Dad wasa great one to volunteerwhere kids were involved.

He was announcing theM&M marching band (nowMorgan HS) half-timeshows. My little girlfriendand I were hooked. By thetime we were in 4th grade wewere both practicing our clar-inet and trumpet so we couldbe in the marching bandwhen we got to high school.Marching band was a greathigh school experience. I amso sorry that kids in MonroeCounty are not able to havethe same opportunity.

When I was getting readyto save my article on Mr.Acer, I realized that I wascelebrating an anniversary.This week marks one year of“Thoughts From the BumpyRoad.” It is my hope thatyou have enjoyed my ram-blings as much as I enjoywriting them. Have an awe-some week. “I cannot giveyou a formula for success,but I can give you a formulafor failure – which is try toplease everybody.” HerbertBayard Swope

I sat down here to start myletter to you folks and itlooks as though that’s all fornow. I took a little nap andmy words aren’t followingmy lead very well. I’ll catchyou in a little while.

As we were nearingBeallsville this last triphome from grocery shop-ping received a sad messageon the cellphone. We don’tget a daily paper and I had-n’t opened the Beacon. Kim,our daughter-in-law, calledto see if I knew that PauleneHarper was to be buried in ashort time that day. It reallywas a blow since I didn’tknow Mrs. Harper was justshort of 100 years of age andall my boys knew her in thetheir early years atBeallsville Grade School.

She was a great teacher anda caring one.

As I stated, I didn’t knowof her passing but I pulledover and went in to say mygood-byes to an old friendand a great lady. vlk

Well my little breakextended nto another day.I’d like to say that it gaveme a new slant on things butit’s still too early to tell. I’ma Red Rose devotee but Ijust had a mug of MaxwellHouse and maybe that’ll justgive me a boost.

In a few days I will beanother birthday older.

That’s what folks mostlycall it. I don’t. I’m award-ing myself a Gold Medal(It’s really in the form of anew dishwasher) but to meit’s a sign that I’m not “allwashed up” and though Ihaven’t square danced forseveral years, I can still tapout the tune and enjoy” abackward glance”. It’s all inhow you think. As a matterof fact, my thoughts aren’tnearly as complex as theywere. Sooo, right hand overand you fill the next. Justenjoy!

This is my time of the

year. I’m pretty sure myMom felt much the same asshe waited for her baby andfelt the cool breezes thatblew across the hills ofPleasants County, WestVirginia. Then came theSunday morning that madeall the waiting worth it toher. It was a baby girl, ME,and all the pain and waitingwere already starting tofade, October 1, 1939. Imight not have known a lotyet, but it’s a sure thing thatI’ve come a long way and Iain’t ready to throw in thetowel yet! vlk

Monroe County VeteransServices Information

by Gary Lake, Veterans Service OfficerThis month we will address

veteran’s burial benefitsfrom federal, state and coun-ty levels. Though difficult todiscuss, it is essential toknow what entitlements areavailable at the time of deathof a veteran.

The VeteransAdministration administers aburial benefits programdesigned to assist veterans inmeeting the funeral and bur-ial costs of a deceased veter-an. The type and amount ofbenefits payable depends onthe veteran’s individual serv-ice record and cause ofdeath. The details are oftenconfusing and our office isprepared to ensure each vet-eran’s family receivesearned entitlements.

On December 27, 2001,President Bush signed PublicLaw 107 – 103, the VeteransEducation and BenefitsExpansion Act of 2001.Under this law theDepartment of VeteransAffairs (VA) increased reim-bursement for funeralexpenses and cemetery plotsfor service-disabled veteransand now provides govern-ment markers for veterans’graves even if familiesalready have installed privatemarkers. In addition anincrease in burial allowancesfor Non-Service-RelatedDeaths was made by thepassing of the Veterans’Benefit Act of 2010 Update.Effective October 1, 2013the VA will pay up to$734.00 dollars towards bur-ial and funeral expenses, anda $300.00 dollar plot-inter-ment allowance. Also if thedeath happened while theVeteran was hospitalized bythe VA, or under a VA con-tracted nursing home care,some or all of the costs fortransporting the Veteran’sremains may be reimbursed.Note: If the Veteran dieswhile traveling under properauthorization and at VA

expense to or from a speci-fied place for the purpose ofexamination, treatment orcare, burial, funeral, plot,interment, and transportationexpenses will be allowed asthough death occurred whilehospitalized by the VA.

To receive the burialallowance, the veteran mustbe buried in a non-govern-ment cemetery and meet oneof the following criteria:•The veteran must have beenin receipt of VA disabilitycompensation or a VA pen-sion at the time of death.•The veteran must havebeen discharged from themilitary due to a disability.•The veteran must have diedin route or in a VA facility.

If a veteran qualifies forany burial benefits at the timeof death either the funeralhome director or the veteransoffice is available to informthe family. Depending on theindividual circumstances theVeterans Administration maypay up to $734.00 or a maxi-mum of $2,000.00 dollarstowards veteran’s burialexpenses. I encourage eachfamily to contact our office,because there may be addi-tional benefits available to thewidow based upon specificguidelines.

The new law allows theDepartment of VeteransAffairs (VA) to furnish anappropriate marker for thegraves of eligible veteransburied in private cemeteries,whose death occurred on orafter Sept. 11, 2001. Thechange authorizes the order-ing of a government markerregardless of whether thegrave is already marked.

Qualified Monroe Countyveterans are authorized thefollowing entitlements at thetime of death. The CountyVeterans Office coordinateswith the local funeral homesto ensure that veteransreceive their benefits. Thecounty funeral homes

arrange for a qualified veter-an’s full military gravesideservices and burial flag. Theveteran’s office provides abronze flag holder and flagto the family to place at theveteran’s gravesite. EachMemorial Day the VeteransService Commission pur-chases flags that volunteersplace on veterans’ graves.

In addition burial is avail-able in VA NationalCemeteries. Ohio has twoNational Cemeteries that areavailable for eligible veterans,their spouses and dependentsat no cost to the family andincludes the gravesite, grave-liner, opening and closing ofthe grave, a head-stone ormarker, and perpetual care aspart of a national shrine. If theVeteran is buried in a VAnational cemetery, some ofthe cost of transporting thedeceased may be reimbursed.Other benefits include a flag(with case for active duty)and military funeral honors.Family members and lovedones of deceased veteransmay request PresidentialMemorial Certificates.Information and points ofcontact are available for theseprograms at our office.

Each veteran’s circum-stances are unique and dif-ferent. Veterans should beaware of their entitlementsand benefits. Also widowsof wartime era veteran’s or aveteran who dies from aService-Connected condi-tion may be entitled to apension based upon specificcriteria. It is important thatthe family of a deceased vet-eran inquiring about bene-fits have the deceased veter-an’s discharge, death certifi-cate, marriage license, andincome information toassess any entitlements.

The Veterans Office hasmoved to a new locationwithin the Senior CenterComplex across the hallfrom the Historical Office.

Popular UPS Driver JeffFouss Set to Retire

The driver of the Woodsfield area UPS route, Jeff Fouss,will be retiring on Friday, Sept. 26. Jeff, pictured above,has been on the route for 29 years. Photo by Darin Brown

Darin Brown,General Manager

Sometimes peoplebecome a part of our every-day lives. They are part ofour routines. We see them,smile and wave. Sometimeswe talk to them, get to knowthem better. But, often times,we get used to them beingthere, and that's enough.

For Woodsfield residents(and those living outside ofLewisville andMiltonsburg), one of thosepeople who has quietlybecome a part of their livesis Jeff Fouss, the UPS driverwho has had the Woodsfieldroute for the last 29 years.On Friday, Sept. 26, Jeff willbe driving his big browntruck into the sunset as heretires from the job he's heldsince 1983 and the route he'shad since 1985.

Some may remember atime when Jeff was not theUPS driver in Woodsfield.Those few will rememberthat Leland Close drove theroute before tranferring tomanagment. After spendingtwo years driving subroutes, Jeff bid on the vacantroute, which runs throughSwazey Rd. near Lewisville,to Woodsfield, toMiltonsburg and back to theoutskirts of Lewisville. Hewas awarded the route and,in April of 1985, he startedon the job.

Since that time, Jeff hasbeen driving approximately150 miles, stopping around85 times and delivering any-where from 150 to 200 pack-ages each day. A rough cal-culation (bringing intoaccount weekends, sevenholidays a year and a few

days off) would find that Jeffhas driven over one millionmiles on the Woodsfieldroute and has deliveredaround 1.2 million packages.

The numbers are stagger-ing, but that's not what Jeffis thinking about as he nearsretirement. As many whohave met him would expect,Jeff said he will miss thepeople the most. “I see somecustomers more often than Isee some members of myfamily,” he said with alaugh. He added, “I knowthem. I know their families.We talk about our familiesto one another.”

Jeff realized how muchpeople cared about him in1995. Another UPS driverwith the first name Jeff, wholived in Marietta, was driv-ing home from his route(which ran to Clarington)when he was tragically hitand killed by a jack-knifingsemi truck. Since the onlyavailable information wasthat a UPS driver named Jeffhad died, and since JeffFouss was out-of-town thatweekend, the rumor millquickly established that hehad been killed.

Upon returning to work onMonday, Jeff didn't knowwhat was about to hit him. “Itwas like people were seeinga ghost. People kept comingup and hugging me, and Ididn't know what was hap-pening,” he said. Somebodycame up to him and said,“You don't know what'sgoing on do you? Peoplethought you were dead.”

Jeff said a regular cus-tomer told him at the end ofthat emotional day, “Nowyou know what it would belike to attend your ownfuneral.” Jeff said of thewhole event, “I knew thenhow people here felt about

was a big proponent to getadditional staff.” However,he said hiring additionalstaff was not possible due tobudget constraints.

Some discussion was heldduring public participationabout the student dress codeat Beallsville school. Severalparents had been upset earli-er this month when studentswere sent home for wearingyoga pants and Sofie shorts.After receiving complaints,Superintendent Hall directedHilverding to allow studentsto wear the clothing items.During the meeting on Sept.

18, community memberLarry Stukey asked theboard directly if yoga pantswere allowed at Beallsville,and he received a “yes.”

Teacher Todd Christmantold the board and administra-tion that Hilverding had askedteachers about dress codeissues at the beginning of theyear and the feedback shereceived was that yoga pantswere an issue. He said it washis belief that the ban fol-lowed the student handbookwhich calls for no form-fit-ting spandex in grades 5-12.He said he believed the board

and administration wereundermining Hilverding’sauthority by allowing theitems of clothing.

Also addressed duringpublic session was the statusof River High School’sgymnasium. The playingsurface had been demol-ished and is being replacedafter it suffered severe waterdamage last month.Community member RonSebring asked the boardwho was paying for thereplacement of the floor.Director of Buildings andTransportation, Jason

Clutter, said it has beenturned into insurance butthat the insurance companywas trying to come back onthe plumbing contractor.

Sebring also asked if theproblem that caused thewater to enter the gymnasi-um was fixed. Clutter saidthe issue has been addressedand that such an eventshould not happen again.

Beyond the public partici-pation portion of the meet-ing, there was little businessto be completed. The mostrelevant motion passed dur-ing the meeting was to

change substitute teacher payto $80, up from the previouspay of $65. With budgetissues at play, the board wasreluctant to make the deci-sion. However, it was statedthat the district is having adifficult time filling sub posi-tions because neighboringdistricts offer higher pay.

With budget issues a per-sistent part of the meeting’sconversation, SuperintendentHall addressed the issue ofthe upcoming levy during hisreport. He said, “We will sur-vive without it, but I wouldrather thrive.” He said thedistrict has decided on a new

approach by offering anincome-tax levy for vote, atype of levy never put on theballot in SOLSD. He said heis hopeful that people willunderstand the levy and willsupply the district with amuch-needed “five yearband-aid.”

Hall also made note of thesuccess of the H.E.L.P.Committee’s College andCareer Night that was heldlast week. “It was just a greatnight,” he said. SeveralSOLSD students in atten-dance were able to discusstheir future with college rep-resentatives during the event.

new home a few years agoon another section of thefarm, Craig and Amy movedinto the farm house andmade it theirs. Amy is theartistic visionary and has puther touches into the newkitchen remodeling andplanned the furnishings,color and decoratingthroughout the home. Herfamily items and heirloomshave been included, alongwith special touches fromher aunt Nancy Sirianni’sshop. Craig and Amy’s threechildren have bedrooms andbath on the second floor,which reflect their individ-ual likes and interests.

Amy and Craig enjoybeing outside. Her flowersare colorful evidence of hercreative planning and care-ful attention, while Craigwould rather be in a field onthe tractor.

The busy lives of a youngfamily require a flexible,durable and comfortablehome where parents, kidsand pets can function andthrive, and this is the atmos-phere you will find at theReich home.

If you like Victorianhomes, art and beautifulcraftsmanship, the home ofPaula Ring located at 213Eastern Avenue, next door toPat’s Gift Shoppe, is a mustsee. Paula provided a littlehistory of her 129- year-oldhome. The lot was owned byMr. Parry next door (ParryMuseum). She believes thehouse was built for one of hisdaughters in 1885. In 1900 itwas owned by John and EvaBurg until 1921 when it wassold to the Presbyterians astheir manse or house for theirpreachers. It remained in theirhands until around 1965.Many preachers lived in thehouse. “That may be why Ithought it felt so good. A lotof prayers went on here,”noted Paula. Rev and Mrs.Byrd bought the house fromthe Presbyterian Church for aretirement home. After beingvacant for five years, Paulabought the house in 1992.

“It was a wreck!” she said.“I could not have bought itwithout the wonderful talentand help of my great family –Marc, Andrew, Dad (PaulRing), Grandpa Leighton(Weber), Uncle Midge(Weber) and cousin Ed. Therest is history.”

Paula, a teacher in theSwitzerland of Ohio SchoolDistrict, also gives piano les-sons in the beautifully deco-rated music room of herhome. On the wall hangs hergreat-grandpa HenryAckerman’s violin, given toher father (a music teacherand musician) many yearsago. An old Victrola and alarge bench from her father’sformer barber shop, antiquefamily pictures and moremake this room so interesting.

Everything in this home isartfully displayed and deco-rated with original artwork,old family photos in antiqueframes and family heir-looms. Many of the roomshave original fireplaces. Oneof the bedrooms holds a bedwhich belonged to her great-grandfather Henry. Abovethe bed is a photo of his par-ents, Paulus and MarthaAckerman, Paula’s great-great-grandparents.

While renovating for her“to die for kitchen,” an 1867

flag with 36 stars, alongwith many old letters datedin the 1800s, were found inthe walls of the home. Pauladonated these to the ParryMuseum.

And back to the “to die forkitchen” … all the beautifulwalnut cabinetry was madeby Paula’s brother, Andrew.The kitchen features pull-outspice cabinets on each side ofthe refrigerator, gingerbreadarchway over the open door-way and so much more. Youjust have to see the crafts-manship that went into thisdesign. The bathroom off thekitchen has a marble sinkwhich came from her grand-parents’ home before it wasrazed. Brother Andrew builtcabinetry around the sinkwhich complimented thedécor. From the dining area,you can see the beautiful par-tially covered outside livingarea. With the lovely land-scaping which flows aroundthe back of the house toinclude a fish pond (whichPaula herself built), it is per-fect for an outside gathering.

The sunroom housesPaula’s oil can display, terrar-ium with orchids and lots ofartwork and antiques. A fewsteps away, her garage, whichalso houses Paula’s art studio,can be seen. The front deckedentry was added in the lastyear by the late Rev. FrankLehosky, a talented crafts-man, who did work on sever-al of the houses on this tour.

According to Paula’s moth-er, Marie Ring, Paula begancollecting antiques soon aftershe began teaching. She hasincorporated these antiques,heirlooms, her 22 framedoriginal paintings and muchmore into the décor of thisbeautiful Victorian home.(parking is available acrossthe street) It is definitely amust see on this tour.

Tucked back from StateRoute 800, the home of Dickand Marie Yoss is located at38821 Briar Ridge Road,Woodsfield. Dick gives a lit-tle history on this home aswell. It was built in 1968 byWilliam and MargaretStauffer. He was an engineerat Ormet and his wife was ateacher at WoodsfieldElementary. Bill Staufferbuilt an airplane in the lowergarage of this house and tookall of the various parts of theplane to the local airportwhere he put it together andthen flew the plane. At onetime, the outlines of the vari-ous parts of the plane werevisible on the floor where hehad spray painted them. Mr.Stauffer was careful to placethe house in an east westdirection with the south sidecontaining a lot of glass, thusexposing it to the warmth ofthe sun in the wintertime. Inthe summertime, when thesun moves slightly higher,the overhang shades the sun-light and the trees help keepthe home fairly cool. Quiteoften, in the dead of winter,notes Dick, the furnace doesnot run if it is a sunny day.

Dick and Marie have mademany changes to this housesince moving there in 1973.The tile on the front porchwalkway came from the roofof the Woodsfield Post Officewhen they were required toreroof the building. Mariesaid they watched from thelaw office across the street asthe roof was replaced. They

asked and were able to pur-chase the tile. The coachlamp on the front porch was agift from a divorce client whowas a professor of EasternEuropean History at KenyonCollege and had traveled fre-quently in Europe during thesummers. He had acquired amatching pair of these coachlamps, but his wife in thedivorce case wanted bothlamps. They wound up split-ting the pair. The husband didnot want to have only one ofthe lamps so he gave this oneto Dick. The lamp itself prob-ably dates back to the 1700s.

The beautiful white quiltcovering the bed in a guestroom is very meaningful toMarie. While attending a quiltshow in Dexter City manyyears ago with her mother-in-law, the late Kathleen Yoss,Marie admired a quilt. Theynever talked about it afterthat, but four or five yearslater, a quilt like it was aChristmas gift from her moth-er-in-law. Kathleen had madeit, quilted it and gifted it toMarie. This room also hastwo antique pieces found inHot Springs, Arkansas, nearMarie’s birthplace.

Over the last few yearsbefore his death, Rev.Lehosky had done substan-tial remodeling to the Yosshome. Over the three-yearperiod the remodeling wasdone, Yosses lived in a farm-house on their nearby farm.Part of that renovation wasthe remodeling and additionof a beautiful master bath.

The eat-in kitchen has lotsof white glass door cabinetryand cork floors. Throughsliding doors, the additionaldining area overlooks a beau-tiful wooded area.

Dick’s game room is OSUthemed. There is an OSUlight over the pool table, anold Coke machine, a candyshelf from the 1957 NAPAstore and an OSU tall tableand stools. Many of the itemsin this room were Christmasgifts, noted Marie.

The exterior of the house isCalifornia redwood and hasrequired very little mainte-nance over the years. Thepatio was added recently, andthe bricks that are primarilyunder the sunroom itself camefrom some of the local streetsin Woodsfield and some ofthe bricks were manufacturedby the Monroe BrickCompany. The large pine treeon the west side of the houseis a Christmas tree that wasplanted when the Yoss familyspent their first Christmas inthe home in 1973.

“This has been a greatplace to raise kids,” saidMarie. This home is defi-nitely a great addition to thisyear’s home tour.

The lake side home ofSharon Yoss, Dick’s sister, islocated at 41455 North ParkDrive, Wilson Lake,Beallsville. This house, withits spectacular view ofWilson Lake, was built andadded to by local contractorsand craftsmen. PerrySchumacher of Woodsfieldbuilt the house in 1994. Anew sunroom was added in2014, along with new back-splashes in the kitchen andboth bathrooms, all built andinstalled by RandyKindelberger of Jerusalem.

The sunroom opens onboth sides to decks whichoverlook the sparkling lake,

As avid OSU fans, the home of Dick and Marie Yoss reflects just that in Dick's gameroom which features lots of OSU items and memorabilia. The many tall windows bringlots of light and shows off the beauty of the home's surroundings.

the green trees and the thriv-ing vegetation. Sharon notedthat in fall the colorful dis-play is outstanding.

“The furnishings in myhouse combine traditionaland antiques,” said Sharon.“It is obvious that I love myfamily. There are many pic-tures of my children, grand-children, nieces and nephewsthroughout the house.” (andtoys) Yes, many toys becauseSharon has the opportunityto spend lots of time with hergrandchildren.

As you make your waydown to the lower level ofthis home, the wall is linedwith family photos. Here youwill find lots of toys and twodesks from Sharon’s thirdgrade classroom. Sharon’smother’s player piano is afocal item in this lower room,which also has a deck show-ing off the beauty of Mother

Nature. This is Sharon’sfavorite spot where she cansit on the deck’s swing andenjoy the peace and tranquil-ity of her surroundings.

Throughout her house, youwill find little gifts from herformer students, as well asmany items made by localcraftsmen: candlesticks andheart jewelry case made bythe late Stanley Heft; an oilpainting by Brent Sloan, aWHS/MC graduate; a quiltrack made by the late CalvinWeber; a cutting board by thelate Pete Christman; a step-ping stool made by her uncle,the late Cy Haren; kitchencabinets, bathroom vanitiesand bed headboard made byAndrew Ring. Severalafghans, made by her chil-dren’s grandmother, HazelCalder, grace the home. “Andof course, the most cherisheditems of all, quilts made by

my mother Kathleen Yoss,my grandmothers, Clara Yossand Louise Haren, and myaunt, Lela Hunnell.Throughout the years thesequilts have wrapped my fam-ily in love,” added Sharon.

With the floating dock,summertime is enjoyed bythe children and family withswimming and fishing, aswell as fun with the kayak,paddleboat and canoe. It’s alike a vacation home, butSharon can enjoy it through-out the year.

This year’s tour is defi-nitely one of the best with itsdiversity and range of styles.You won’t want to miss thisannual event set for Sunday,Oct. 5, 1 to 5 p.m. Ticketsare available at the MonroeCentral Fieldhouse inMonroe Memorial Park andat the Sharon Yoss home onWilson Lake.

While Jeff will certainlymiss that warmth from thecommunity, he will notmiss some things about hisjob. He said, “I'm notgoing to miss the winters. Iwon't miss the Christmas

House. Pandora Neuhart,Monroe County Auditor,opened with asking everyonein attendance to “Save aNumber, Save a Life”. Sheinstructed the audience to takeout their cell phone and addthe Crisis Hotline number 1-800-354-4357 to their contactlist and to please text it to afriend. This number servesMonroe County citizens as ahelp line for anyone whoneeds help in a time of mentalcrisis. Bonnie Porter wel-comed everyone and the eventcontinued with the reading ofthe Official Proclamationmaking the week of Sept. 7thSuicide Prevention AwarenessWeek. The document statedthat Monroe County is ranked#1 in the State of Ohio forcompleted suicides per100,000 people and that it isthe 10th leading cause ofdeath in the United States.

Suicide is largely prevent-able and all citizens can helpprevent suicide by becom-ing aware of warning signs.Reverend Susan Lehoskyled the group in prayer and

lit a candle in memory ofthose lost to suicide. MariahDaily then sang two songsfor the event. Chelsea Scott,Court Advocate for the Tri-County Help Center gave ashort explanation of thecoalition and the work it hasdone in the past four years.She also gave everyone theopportunity to place thename of someone who com-pleted suicide on theMemory Wreath.

Pandora spoke on depres-sion and the loss of RobinWilliams. Depressionaffects both men andwomen, predominantly fromages 15 to 85. It is thefourth leading cause ofdeath in the world and isexpected to increase to sec-ond by the year 2020.People who do not havedepression often think it is achoice. This is Not True!Depression is not somethingshort-lived that blows overafter a few days. Majordepression is disabling andprevents a person from func-tioning normally. People

underestimate the severityof this critical illness andavoid speaking about it. Shestated that if you only takeone thing away from thisevent, please let it be thatyou do not underestimatethe severity of depression.This was followed by songsperformed by SavannahBurke.

Linda Masters, MonroeCounty Health DepartmentAdministrator then spoke onthe myths and indicators ofpotential suicide. Feelinglike no one cares, and thestatement “I wish I weredead” or “I am going to killmyself” are common indica-tors. 80% of suicide “com-pleters” talk about it beforethey actually follow through.If you encounter a personmaking such statementsplease don’t hesitate to askthem if they are thinkingabout hurting themselves. Acommon myth suggests thattalking about suicide mightcause a person to act. This isnot true. It is helpful to showthe person you care and take

them seriously. Most peoplewant to be stopped. Theywant to end their pain, nottheir lives.

The event concluded withthe extinguishing of the can-dle followed by Pastor DaveCottrell’s tribute to PastorFrank Lehosky who was the2014 President of theSuicide PreventionCoalition until his untimelydeath in April. He was anoriginal member of thecoalition and was dedicatedto the mission of awareness.The 20 plus gathering joinedin singing “Friends areFriends Forever” beforethey parted.
