Members will be happily surprised when they are able to return to business, which was scheduled for May 21 with very limited hours. Missy Adkins, manager of the private club, said everything has been updated in the club. “The carpet has been replaced. The entire inside of the lodge has been painted. The ceiling tiles have been painted and updated. Everything has been steamed and cleaned, and we’ve rearranged a lot of it,” she said. Adkins said they also have revamped the patio area and are planning to paint the outside of the building too. “We still have a lot more that we want to get done, but Submitted While no business wants to be forced to be closed, the Coshocton Moose Lodge decided to take advantage of the stay-at-home order and update the club. with being closed, we have to get the funds to do it,” she said. Adkins said they have tried to obtain grants and loans but have been unable to do that because the Moose Lodge is a private club. The work is all being completed by employees and members of the club. “Employees and officers have been in there day in and day out to make the Moose what it is today. We never had more than 10 people in the club at one time. Every day different members or employees donated their time, and we cannot thank them enough. I can’t name everyone without missing someone,” Adkins said. The Moose Lodge closed its doors on March 15. Although other places offered takeout food service, the Moose gave their leftover food to their employees to help them until they could receive unemployment. “Many of our employees have yet to receive their unemployment. Without having income, we felt it best to give our food to them,” Adkins said. Adkins also said the inside of the lodge is constantly being cleaned and sanitized to prevent the spread of COVID-19. She said they decided to open with limited hours compared to what they are used to. “We felt it was best to start out slow and add hours as we see fit,” she said. Kids’ Corner: How to create a lava lamp with kids By Jen Jones The internet is full of ideas of neat science experiments you can easily do with your children, and most use things you have around the house. Allison Hammond from Montessori Preschool created a lava lamp with her For more news log on to www.coshoctonbeacontoday.com children, Britany and Gage. To create a lava lamp with you children, you will need food coloring, Alka- Seltzer tablets, vegetable oil, water and a bottle. Fill the water bottle about 2/3 full of vegetable oil. Add water until the bottle is almost full (leave some space at the top). Add a few drops of food coloring (don’t mix colors). Finally, drop in an Alka- Seltzer tablet. It will sink to the bottom and start to dissolve. As it dissolves, “lava” will begin to move around your water bottle. The reaction is only temporary. Why does this happen? Two scientific principles allow this experiment to work: density and polarity. Density is how much of an item fits into a space. Water is denser than oil, so it will sink to the bottom. Polarity prevents the two from mixing together. Water molecules are polar, meaning they have an electrical charge that Submitted Allison Hammond from Montessori Preschool created a lava lamp with her children, Britany and Gage. will attract other atoms. Oil molecules are not polar, so they will not attract to the oil. When the Alka-Seltzer tablet reacts to the water, carbon-dioxide bubbles are formed, and these stick to the water droplets and rise to the top of your lamp.
