Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree!

This Christmas Tree lights up the living room of the Frye's quaint home in the bustling city of Newark. Phil's guitars had to be moved in order to make room for this short needle tree, but at last check, at least one guitar had made its way back to the living room.

Molly, Grace, and Phil found this beauty among several fields of trees at Stout's Tree Farm in Utica. The Frye's recommend this place that features friendly people and customers that welcome dogs and kids. There was also free coffee, cookies, hot chocolate, and candy on a tree for kids in the barn. The trees were also reasonably priced.

Merry Christmas from the Frye's!

$1,000 Reward Offered on Jewel Thieves

Licking County Crime Stoppers is offering up to a $1,000 reward for anyone that has information that will help law enforcement with the investigation of a theft at a downtown Newark jewelry store.

The Newark Police Department reports around 4:30 p.m. on Dec. 7, two suspects stole loose diamonds valued at $10,600 from an unlocked jewelry case at HL Art Jewelers. A store employee observed the theft and called 911 and the two suspects left the store. Witnesses say they drove off in a car described as a gray Pontiac that was possibly a Bonneville and newer than 2000. The rear license plate was bent down and unreadable.

Both suspects are described as light skinned black males between 40-50 years old, well dressed, and wearing glasses. The first suspect is described as six-feet tall, weighing 200-220 pounds, with short hair and a bald spot on top. The second suspect is described as 5-foot-9 to 5-foot-11 tall, weighing 240-250 pounds, with a buzz cut.

Police say the suspects may not be from the Newark area, and a similar theft occurred in August at Pugh’s Jewelry store in Zanesville.


Anyone with information on this crime is urged to call the Licking County Crime Stoppers at 740-349-6888 or 1-888-488-9058. A special coding system protects the identity of the caller but allows for the reward to be issued at a later time.

Crime Stoppers also takes calls from persons with information about any felony. Information leading to the arrest and indictment of a felony suspect could qualify the caller for a reward as determined by the Crime Stoppers’ Board. Crime Stoppers is a non-profit organization. Reward money comes from private individuals, businesses, and foundations that see Crime Stoppers as an integral tool in the community’s fight against crime. Tax-deductible donations can be sent to: Licking County Crime Stoppers, Inc., P.O. Box 304, Newark, OH 43058-0304.

Sitting on the Dock of the Elks

The House Band had a special guest on stage at its latest show. Licking County Board of REALTORS "Interim" Executive Officer Mark Evans joined the band for a rousing rendition of Sitting On the Dock of the Bay at LCBR's Holiday Party on Dec. 10 at the Newark Elks Lodge.

"Mark is a true rock and roll star," said Phil Frye, third lead guitarist. "He was better after a full practice round of the song, but you can't tell me that Otis Redding got it right his first time either."

Once in a Lifetime!

The other day I was getting a ride back to my office from a Newark Kiwanis Club meeting with my good friend Casey Claxon.

Casey mentioned he had something special in his backseat, and it turned out to be Parky, the official Park National Bank mascot outfit.

The moral of the story is, always check Casey's backseat for a once in a lifetime opportunity. This moment is right up there with trying on the head of Mr. Red in a storage room in Riverfront Stadium while interning for the Cincinnati Reds in 1993. I later found out the reason they stopped using that version of Mr. Red was something to do with asbestos.
