The Holmes County Hub Shopper

Gray was living in Holmes County. That’s the key, the Shopper has grown and it’s only grown because the businesses themselves have grown.”

That’s what sales is all about, he added.

“It’s about seeing people’s businesses grow and the relationships with the customers,” he said.

When Gray first started in the food business, a customer explained how to start a business by showing him an old, rusty, beatup coal bucket.

“He said, ‘I’m going to give that to you. I want you to go home, clean it up, paint it, put a decal on it and sell it for $5. Now that’s a business,’” said Gray. “The point is, you can take something that has no value and make something out of it.”

In Holmes County, Gray sees his work with the Shopper as helping local businesses work with what they have.

“Value — we see the opportunity to merchandise and to market,” he said. “When we first moved, tourism wasn’t big out there. That area has grown so much because of the work ethic and the honesty.

Here, people trust you to do what you say you are going to do. If you help people get what they want, they help you build what you want. That’s basically service.”

Meanwhile, Gray was deeply involved in the Berlin Lion's Club.

“It’s a great organization that helps people get glasses, and the park in Berlin is a major development. Holmes County was a great place to raise a family,” he said.

Now, he’s moving to be closer to his family.

“In all those years my family supported me,” he explained. “That’s why we’re moving to Canton, to be closer to family and grandchildren. It’s time to be with the family, to slow down and enjoy life with

all its great memories and relationships.”

They continued to support him last year throughout a back surgery that Gray said slowed him down quite a bit.

In Canton, Gray hopes

to find a part-time position. “In sales, it’s what I’ve done all my life,” he said.

At this point in his career, Gray said he has

Second, it temporarily speeds up the movement of mucus, possibly helping relieve congestion and limiting the amount of time viruses are in contact with the nose lining.

Sheriff promises zero tolerance for driving drunk

By CHRISTINE L. PRATT Staff Writer Throughout the holiday season, Holmes County sheriff’s deputies will be out in force cracking down on drunken drivers throughout the county with aggressive “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” enforcement.

Through Jan. 2, they’ll join state and local law enforcement in the national effort, watching for drunk drivers to help keep roads safe for holiday travelers.

“You’ll see us making lots of stops during this highly visible enforcement period and if we suspect anyone is driving while intoxicated, deputies will show zero tolerance for drunk driving,” according to Sheriff Timothy W. Zimmerly.

He notes the excitement and celebrations of the holiday season can lead to bad decision making and serious legal conse-

quences. Subsequently, local deputies are prepared to stop and arrest any drunk drivers and keep our roads safe.

“We try to keep this county safe,” said Capt.

Dale Renker, who said because of the extra manpower and traffic stops they make, deputies traditionally see more incidents of drinking and driving during this time of year.

“They tend to go to parties, consume too much and try to drive home,” he said, hopeful that between the extra enforcement, education and planning, serious consequences, including injury and fatal crashes, can be prevented.

The situation is made worse with adverse weather, which can compromise road conditions.

“You really have to have all your attention on the road, and by being impaired, the slightest little mistake can result in a crash,” Renker said.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 32,367 people were killed in motor vehicle traffic crashes across the nation in 2011, and 31 percent (9,878) of those fatalities occurred in drunkdriving-related crashes.

Drunk drivers often face jail time, the loss of their driver’s license, higher insurance rates and dozens of other unanticipated expenses ranging from attorney fees, court costs, car towing and repairs, to lost wages due to time off from work.

To help keep the holidays and the roads safe, Zimmerly advises: — Even one drink can impair your judgment and increase the risk of getting arrested or having a crash while driving.

— If you will be drinking, do not plan on driving. Plan ahead; designate a sober driver.

— If you have been drinking, do not drive.

Call a sober friend for a ride.

— If someone you know is drinking, do not let that person get behind the wheel.

— If you see an impaired driver on the road, contact law enforcement immediately.

This extra patrol is funded with the High Visibility Enforcement Overtime Grant, which is through Ohio Traffic Safety Office from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to support the efforts of safety partners statewide

and focus on traffic safety areas such as restraint use, impaired driving, speed, motorcycle safety and youthful drivers.

Local Entertainment Holidays at the Mansion on display through Dec. 31

By CHRISTINE L. PRATT Staff Writer MILLERSBURG — The year’s Holidays at the Mansion is bound to send all visitors tripping back through time as they take in the exquisitely decorated Victorian House Museum.

As always, every corner of the 28-room mansion is decked out for the holiday season thanks to the time and effort of local businesses and organizations.

This year’s special exhibit and theme revolves around trains and train history. The third-floor ballroom is filled with

model trains and old maps and photos of the trains and their routes through Holmes County.

Decorators were encouraged to incorporate trains into the holiday displays in the rooms.

The entire production and exhibit is perfect for “anyone interested in mansions decorated for the holiday, history buffs to view the collection and all things Christmas,” said Historical Society Executive Director Mark Boley.

The theme, he said, came from a successful brainstorming session.

“The committee was trying to think of a theme for this year and I mentioned

how everyone used to put trains around the Christmas tree, and (suggested) fond memories of an earlier childhood might be of interest,” said Boley. “By adding some local railroad history to the mix of model trains we can tell a story.

“The display will have old photos of depots in Holmes County, time table enlarged when trains used to daily pass through town and old railroad maps … even one of a proposed electric railway between Millersburg and Dover,” he said, explaining that while the proposal never came to fruition, the original land maps and survey records,

and soothing, especially during cold winter months.

Join The Wilderness Center staff, Joann Ballbach and Barb Vitcosky in welcoming the first day of winter while discussing and sampling teas made from pine, spice bush and more.

The Wild Edibles MeetUp will be held between 10-11 a.m. on Saturday, Dec. 21 in The Wilderness Center’s Interpretive Building. The Meet-Up is free and open to the public.

For more information, please call 330 359-5235 Ext. 20 or email barb@ wildernesscenter.org.

A dog-themed poetry slam will be held Jan. 15 beginning at 7 p.m. at Jitters. The event is a fundraiser to benefit the Holmes County Dog Warden’s Department, therefore it is requested that all poems have dogs as their main topic.

Jitters is a Christian business and it is also requested that poems be respectful and be presented in a respectful manner.

Sponsors include Spare Time Lanes, Berlin Gospel Bookstore, Dairy Queen of Millersburg and Doughty Valley Meats.

to be incorporated in the display, are evidence of it.

“By combining the model rail display — of interest to young and old — and showing some historical items, we will tell a story of the historical significance of the rails to Holmes County,” Boley said.

This year’s Holidays at the Mansion is going on through Dec. 31. Hours

are Monday-Thursday, 1-4 p.m., and Friday-Sunday, 1-8 p.m. Admission for self-guided tours is $8 for adults and $7 for senior citizen 65 and older. Combination tickets, to include a tour of the Millersburg Glass Museum, can be purchased for a total cost of $10.

URBAN SOILS CONTEST — Hiland FFA members competed in the State Urban Soils judging contest. They were fifth in the district level, which qualified them for the state contest. Members who participated in the contest in London, Ohio, were: Grant Mast, Javan Scheufler, Lee Shetler and Dillion Zimmerly. The contest is designed for students to evaluate the land.

Members judged the soil to determine if it is suitable for urban uses such as building a house, roads, or recreational purposes. During the contest, members judged four soil pits, took a knowledge-based test on urban soils, and a soil survey book test. While judging the pits, members are looking for the water table, bedrock, hard dense layer, slope, land formation, and determine soil layers such as sand, loam or clay. Individual placing were: Mast, 143; Scheufler, 157; Shetler, 106 and Zimmerly, 167. They placed 41st See Pg. 13 — MARKETS as a team overall.

Holmes County wildlife officer on list of DOW employees suspected of hunting while on duty

By ART HOLDEN Daily Record Outdoor Editor COLUMBUS — They were hired and sworn in to uphold the law, but took advantage of their positions and now are facing repercussions.

On Friday, the Ohio Inspector General, Randall Meyer, issued a report on his office’s longrunning investigation into improprieties by several Ohio Department of Natural Resources, Ohio Division of Wildlife wildlife officers. The incidents in question date from 2009-2010, and involve wildlife officers harvesting and checking in deer while records show they were on duty.

“As soon as we found out about the allegations, we took proactive steps starting back in 2012,” said Division of Wildlife chief Scott Zody, noting officer check-in and check-out procedures and better accountability have been addressed.

“At this point, we want to

reserve judgment until we do our own investigation and due process, and then we’ll take the appropriate action necessary.”

Included in the list of 18 wildlife officers cited for improprieties is Holmes County wildlife officer Jeremy Carter. Carter has been with the Division of Wildlife since 2002, and has been the Holmes County wildlife officer since June of 2007. He’s a 1998 Loudonville High School graduate.

Carter is cited in a 2010 incident in which he claimed nine hours of regular pay on Jan. 12. At 4:30 p.m. on that day, Carter checked in a deer in Holmes County. His unit history log shows he signed on duty at 9:49 a.m. and off duty at 5:29 p.m.

Not only does that make it look like Carter harvested his deer on state time, but his unit log only accounts for 7.67 hours, when he claimed nine.

Adding to Carter’s case is the fact that the ODNR provided the Office of the Ohio Inspector General

Shumaker receives recognition for work COLUMBUS — Kate Shumaker, Extension educator, of the Holmes County office of Ohio State University Extension, has been recognized by the Ohio Joint Council of Extension Professionals for her work in Family and Consumer Sciences educational programming.

Shumaker received the Distinguished Service Award on Dec. 3 during the Ohio State University Extension annual conference in Columbus.

Each year, the National Extension Association of Family and Consumer Sciences recognizes members for their FCS/ Extension work by presenting awards for outstanding accomplishments in achievement, leadership, service and communication. This award is given annually to Family and Consumer

Shumaker Sciences Extension Educators who contribute time and effort to county and statewide educational programming and who take an active role in promoting the Extension profession.

with a harvest report of a different individual, but citing the same metal tag number as reported by Carter.

“We encourage our employees to hunt, trap and fish,” said Zody. “We want people who are passionate about wildlife, but they have to separate work from recreation.”

The entire investigation grew out of 2009-2010 case that found Brown County wildlife officer Allan Wright, and wildlife supervisor David Warner, hunting while on duty.

Their case was brought to light when they posed for a picture in their uniforms.

After reviewing the Brown County case, the Office of the Ohio Inspector General decided to look further into wildlife officer improprieties, and originally came up with a list of 122 DOW employees who potentially harvested deer on days they claimed work hours during the years 2009 and 2010.

Employees who claimed some form of permissible leave were removed from

Holmes County wildlife officer Jeremy Carter is included in a list of 18 Division of Wildlife employees accused of hunting while on duty after the Office of the Ohio Inspector General conducted a statewide investigation. Carter’s alleged incident happened in January of 2010. the list, narrowing the number to 79. That list was further reduced to 26, and those 26 employees were sent letters requesting they contact the Office of the Ohio Inspector General to be interviewed.

Only eight responded, and none of those eight agreed to be interviewed.

Then eight more were cut from the list of 26 as the Division of Wildlife was unable to locate the original harvest reports that were needed to confirm the identities of the wildlife employees.

The Office of the Ohio Inspector General forwarded its report for consideration to each of the

18 prosecuting attorneys for the counties named in the report, and now it’s up to those prosecuting attorneys to decide if any laws were broken.

The Inspector General recommended that the Ohio Department of Natural Resources should: 1. Review the actions of all employees involved to determine whether their conduct warrants further administrative action or training.

2. Review the Ohio Department of Administrative Services’ time and attendance policy, ODNR communications policy, and state of Ohio ethics laws with all personnel.

3. Require supervisors audit work hours claimed by wildlife officers to assure accuracy and compliance with laws and policy.

An attempt to contact Carter through his phone number as the Holmes County Wildlife Officer was not returned. However, that’s to be expected as Carter, along with the others involved, are currently on restricted duty.

“They’re still working,” said Zody, “but they can’t perform law enforcement duties.”

Zody feels it’ll take the Division of Wildlife 2-3 months to wrap up its investigation.

The Holmes County Hub Shopper Kerrie McKallister Dirt Don’t Hurt

Commentary

The disposal that stole Christmas Basically, I’m a terrible gift-giver to begin with. I’m the person who overthinks and tries to find just the right gift the receiver will use and cherish, and would have never bought for his or herself. I long to be the person who watches their face as the package is unwrapped to see that moment of surprise and pure happiness, because it will undoubtedly match mine. For me, giving gifts is truly as much joy as getting them. This year may be a little off, though.

I hate shopping. One recent Saturday my friend texted me photos of herself in the mall and I returned photos of myself taking a class in primitive fire building, standing in the snow for five hours and loving it. We both think the other person is nuts, but the chances of her building a fire while stranded in the wilderness are slim. I, on the other hand, am going to have to go shopping.

Whether online or in the store, somehow I will manage to squeeze in last-minute purchases so I can shower those I love with pretty packages.

Except for my husband, that is.

This happens to us just about every year. We start off the holiday season saying we aren’t going to go crazy with presents for each other. We remind ourselves our children and life in general pretty much suck out any and all extra funds we have lying around, so our budget for the holiday will be reasonable. This is all well and good, until we’re faced with more and more of this so-called life, and our budget begins to shrink even more. Suddenly, our gift-giving to each other has gone from “not-crazy” to “just someSee Pg. 15 — STOLE

Rep. Dave Hall announces legislative advances COLUMBUS — State Representative Dave Hall (R-Millersburg) announced that the Ohio House of Representatives passed Senate Bill 137, which requires vehicles to slow down, proceed with caution and, if possible, change lanes when passing highway maintenance vehicles and Public Utilities Commission vehicles that are stopped.

Highway maintenance vehicles include snow plows, traffic lane stripers, road sweepers, mowing machines, cement trucks and other vehicles used for highway maintenance activities. In order to protect the safety of drivers and highway workers, the bill requires that vehicles attempt to change lanes cautiously to avoid being in the lane adjacent to the stationary highway maintenance vehicle.

Depending on weather and traffic, the law specifies that changing lanes is

not always an option but vehicles are required to slow down and proceed with caution. Regulations differ depending on the number of lanes.

Currently, state law requires similar actions when approaching a stopped public safety vehicle, emergency vehicle or road service vehicle as part of the “Move Over, Slow Down” initiative.

S.B. 137 adds to this law.

“This type of initiative can save lives,” said Hall.

“Motorists should always proceed with caution when passing highway maintenance workers and vehicles, and now Ohio’s laws reflect and reinforce that responsibility. We must do all that we can do to protect both highway drivers and maintenance workers.”

S.B. 137 is the companion bill to House Bill 172, which passed the House in June. S.B. 137 will now go to the governor for his

dite that process. This may seem like a simple reform, but to many people it will mean the world.”

Throughout the past 15 years, many states have changed their laws to permit adult adoptees to access their pre-adoption birth certificates. Ohio’s inequitable three-tiered system of access has made it very difficult for many adoptees to access this personal document, an issue that Senate Bill 23 addresses.

Senate Bill 23 passed by a vote of 91-2.

— Hall also announced that House Concurrent Resolution 32 passed out of the Ohio House. The resolution recognizes and celebrates independent businesses.

In 2014, HCR 32 officially would designate the week of Monday, June 30 through Sunday, July 6 as “Independent Retailers Week.”

“I’m so happy to join my

colleagues in recognizing the importance of Ohio’s independent retailers,” said Hall. “These businesses are vital to Ohio’s economic health, and they mean a great deal to the families and individuals who are employed because of them.”

An independent retailer is a single business that operates by itself and is not part of a larger company chain.

HCR 32 will now head to the Ohio Senate for further consideration.

— The Ohio House of Representatives has passed House Bill 292, which creates a study committee that would examine the aerospace technology industry.

The Aerospace and Technology Study Committee would consist of 13 members, including three state senators, three state representatives and one appointment by the governor. The six members

from the House and Senate would then appoint six more members representing entities like the aerospace industry, the military, or academia.

“Ohio has an opportunity to be at the forefront of this job-creating, cutting-edge industry,” said Hall. “Working with business leaders and experts in the aerospace industry, we can find new ways to attract aerospace jobs to our state.”

Beginning July 2014, the committee would be tasked with providing an annual report of its findings and suggestions to the Senate President, Speaker of the House and Governor. Specifically, the report would include strategies for promoting the industry, ideas for the sharing of resources and other research and development procedures.

HB 292 now heads to the Senate for further consideration.

— The Ohio House of Representatives also passed Senate Bill 23, legislation to address disparities in Ohio’s adoption laws.

The legislation permits adult adoptees who were adopted between the years of 1964 and 1996 to access their original birth certificates once they reach the age of 18.

Adoptees who were born before 1964 and after 1996 have nearly unfettered access to their original birth records, while it is nearly impossible for adults adopted between these years to obtain the same documents.

“Giving adult adoptees greater access to their personal documents is just the right thing to do,” said Hall. “Individuals should be able to obtain their original birth records with limited government interference, and S.B. 23 should improve and expe-

Donations given to Harvest Ridge project

By KELLEY MOHR Staff Writer MILLERSBURG — To date, the Holmes County fair board has raised about $3.6 million — $3,624,317 to be exact — in funds, pledges and in-kind donations for the project to build a new fairgrounds at Harvest Ridge.

Within the past month, the board received two inkind donations. Mason Pro-

ducing and Kenoil donated the on-site well, which has a value of $60,000. Fair board member Duane Miller pledged to donate $50,000 worth of cement finishing, while Campbell Oil donated $15,000 and WKLM Radio completed its pledge of $25,000.

In unencumbered funds — money not tied up in any project — there is $1.08 million, said Tom Wilke, project manager.

For excavation, which is scheduled to start in January, the board has just under $800,000 in the bank.

In addition to that number, the board is scheduled to receive commitments of about $148,000 before Jan. 15 and several pledges with which the board can work with the Holmes County Community Fund, amounting to between $200,000-$300,000.

Those funds will cover about 40 percent of total excavation costs, said Wilke.

For the on-site well donated by Mason Producing and Kenoil, the board is working with Bakerwell to plug it.

“They need it out of there before the excavation can begin full bore,” said Wilke.

The process will involve getting the proper per-

mit, the use of a service rig, bulldozer, tank rental, water disposal and cementing, the digging of a ditch with a pit liner and supervision on-site.

Wilke provided an estimated value of the cost of plugging that well. The cost of the service rig — $6,800 — is being donated

by Bakerwell. Cementing, which will cost an estimated $7,200, is being donated by Petroset Cementing

Services of Wooster.

The project has an estimated total cost of $17,200. With all the donations, the fair board may pay only $2,000 — or less — to plug the well, “which I think is a pretty good deal,” said Wilke.

Harvest Ridge excavation lowers use of project money

By KELLEY MOHR Staff Writer MILLERSBURG — A revised compaction plan for excavation work to be done at Harvest Ridge will save thousands of project dollars.

The Holmes County fair board had hoped to begin excavation work on the property in September, but a revised contract will feature even more changes to lower the cost of excavation at Harvest Ridge.

With the help of Brick-

ler & Eckler, Attorneys at Law, the board has been in the process of negotiating the contract with Fechko Excavating for the purpose of storm water retention and extensive excavation work to be completed at the Harvest Ridge property — which will clear the way for the development of the buildings and grounds of the future fairgrounds and exposition center.

Already, changes have been made to the original plan to reduce the amount of dirt that has

to be moved. For example, the grandstand was rotated by 180 degrees, changing the pit area and relocating the horse barn and arena — allowing for 73,000 less cubic yards to be moved at $150,000 in savings, according to Harvest Ridge Project Coordinator Tom Wilke.

Now, Fechko also suggested changing the compaction standards on land that would not support significant structures. Plus, the topsoil would not be stripped in those areas.

“In the areas where Feckho could compact the soil to 90 percent rather than 98 percent … It will save a lot of time, plus

we can save the topsoil, which will save time and money,” said Wilke. “With these changes, we will save $86,000 on the project — which obviously we are all eager to do.”

After moving the grandstand, the revised bid for excavation was set as $1.3 million. With these further changes, the earth work is estimated to cost $1.214 million.

Also part of the contract is that any donated or reduced-cost materials provided by the fair board will be deducted from Fechko’s costs.

In addition, gas lines located on the Harvest Ridge property have been

“A lot of that testing has to do with buildings, not just excavation,” said Wilke, noting that most of the testing of soils and materials will occur in later years.

Thrifty to Nifty Consider these 10 year-end financial ideas (BPT) — With the economic ups and downs of the last several years, many Americans are more motivated than ever to get their finances on track. With some financial alternatives expiring before the year’s end, there’s no better time than the present to start.

“If you’re waiting until the New Year to resolve to better your finances, you may want to think again.

You could be missing out on some year-end strategies that could help bolster your retirement savings and even provide tax benefits,” says Lule Demmissie, managing director of retirement at TD Ameritrade Inc., a broker dealer subsidiary of TD Ameritrade Holding Corporation. “By being proactive, you can really have a positive effect on your nest egg.”

Demmissie offers 10 smart year-end strategies to help you start the new year with a strong financial focus: 1. Make 401(k) contribu-

tions by the end of the year Not good at regularly saving for retirement? Make up for it by investing part of — or your entire — year-end bonus. For 2013, the maximum 401(k) contribution for people younger than 50 is $17,500. It’s a simple way to help build your retirement savings.

2. Play catch up If you’ll be 50 by the end of the calendar year, now may be the perfect time to make catch-up contributions.

In addition to the $17,500 401(k) maximum, people 50 and older can make a $5,500 catch-up contribution. Visit the IRS website for more information on contribution amounts.

3. Invest in a traditional or a Roth IRA While the deadline for this year is technically April 15 of the next year; some say don’t wait to make contributions to an IRA for the 2013 tax year. Take advantage of the tax benefits, such federal tax-free growth and

tax-free withdrawals during retirement. For traditional IRAs, most wage earners can deduct contributions on income taxes now and pay the taxes upon qualified withdrawals in retirement. Note: Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) limits apply for deductibility for both Roth and traditional IRAs. 4. Invest in a child’s future Give your child a head start in life by investing toward his or her education. Consider opening a 529, Coverdell or custodial account. For parents of children already in college, don’t forget to take advantage of the American Opportunity College Credit if you are currently paying your child’s college tuition.

(Note: AGI limits apply).

5. Pay down high-interest debt Having high-interest debt can make saving for anything else very challenging.

By paying it down now, you can save yourself money in the long run. If you only

pay the minimum amount each month, a seemingly small purchase could take months to pay off and over time could cost significantly more due to the high interest rates.

6. Own a home? Invest in it Numerous energy-efficient home improvements qualify for a federal tax credit if done by the end of 2013. Things like new windows, doors, water heaters and skylights may qualify.

Visit energy.gov to learn more. In addition to a tax credit, these improvements can save you money on your utility bills, opening up more of your monthly budget.

7. Donate to charity Donating to charity isn’t only an act of goodwill; it

can be used as a write-off come tax time. Whether a monetary gift or donation of goods, such as clothing and household items you no longer use, keep records and include the deduction when you do your taxes.

8. Adjust your W9 In 2012, the average tax refund was just under $3,000. Rather than loaning Uncle Sam the money at no cost, consider adjusting withholdings and using the funds for saving or investing 9. Save for a rainy day It can be tempting to spend any monetary holiday gifts or bonuses from work immediately. Instead, if you don’t already have one, use that money to start an emergency fund. Some financial professionals advocate

having six to nine months’ worth of expenses set aside for unforeseen emergencies.

10. Review your portfolio Don’t delay reviewing your contributions and portfolio allocations. TD Ameritrade offers a variety of taxdeferred savings vehicles that can help you pursue your retirement goals. If you have questions, meet with a qualified financial adviser and learn what you can do to start 2014 on the right financial foot.

TD Ameritrade does not provide tax advice. Please consult with a tax-planning professional with regard to your personal circumstances.

Christmas in New Bedford Send help!

He’s happy at home as his womenfolk take flight ’Twas the night before Italy and all through the house All the women were scurrying but not the man mouse.

He lounged in his LaZ-Boy still wearing his cap Whilst sipping a beer with a cat in his lap.

The bags were all staged at the foot of the stairs In hopes the TSA would handle with care.

With Ma in a tizzy and Charlotte all chill — The scene was akin to a military drill.

The trip of a lifetime!

His womenfolk to Rome!

And the best part of all was he’d get to stay home!

A few years ago, my daughter, Charlotte,

John & Kristin Lorson

spoke to my Rotary Club about the trip she had taken to the Far East with a college group.

She had scrimped and saved and worked several jobs in order to travel because, as she said laughingly, “My Dad never took us anywhere.”

As you can imagine, I took a pretty good ribbing over that one, especially considering the fact that one of Rotary’s goals is to promote the international exchange of both

ideas and people. Just to set the record straight, Charlotte’s claim was far from true. That kid was sleeping in a tent between her mother and me before she was even six weeks old. I’ve taken my kids PLENTY of places — just not very far!

The truth is, I’m a bit of a homebody. While I love few things more than reading about high adventure at the farthest reaches of the earth, I don’t really have much of a desire to travel beyond my own bubble.

Don’t get me wrong here, I’m certainly not averse to adventure, but for me, adventure begins at my back door and almost never takes me more than a day’s

It’s a holiday tradition that’s been getting people outdoors for more years than Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade — It’s the Audubon Christmas Bird Count (CBC).

“If you would like to join others in friendly competition, learn more about local wildlife, make a difference and experience the wintry, beauty of nature, please join us at The Wilderness Center on Friday, Dec. 20,” invites Gordon Maupin, Executive Director of TWC. “Birders of all abilities are welcome. Novices can be paired with seasoned observers to form teams of 4-6 people.”

During the 1800s, many Americans participated in the tradition of a Christmas “side hunt.” Groups would gather, choose “sides” and then compete

drive away from home.

If I can climb on my bicycle at that same back door and head toward the adventure then all the better.

Charlotte came up with the idea of this trip to Italy as an opportunity to take her mother along on her style of adventure.

This break between college semesters will be the last time for a long time Charlotte will be making her own plans. The U.S. Army becomes her official travel agent come May, and sightseeing will definitely not be on the itinerary. So off they go, the intrepid traveler and her tenderfoot mother.

Italy may never be the same!

Today there are more than 2,300 counts held each year. Each count takes place within a circle 15 miles in diameter and is centered at a specific location. The count is the result of the efforts of amateur bird enthusiasts and is a wonderful example of the power of

Volunteer observers allocate part or all of a day to scouring the countryside to identify and record as many birds as possible.

The organizer of each count then tallies the total of all observers and sends them to Audubon.

Audubon and other organizations use the data to assess the health of bird populations and to help

A forgotten birthday is finally remembered The Man of the House forgot my birthday this year.

Well, to be more exact, he didn’t actually forget it — he just thought the date was on a Tuesday instead of Monday. Even after I told him about a birthday message that came via email that day he didn’t get it. He claimed it was because I had been getting birthday cards every day for almost a week that confused him.

Daughter Robyn dropped by later in the afternoon to bring a gift and a homemade card that she had painted. I was very impressed and left it in plain sight on the kitchen island, just to help him out. I mentioned to her during her visit that I feared my day had been forgotten — unless he was planning a big surprise that evening.

The real celebration was held two days later by going downtown to the Outback Steak House. It is a sacrifice on the part of The Man of the House since he would rather take a beating than drive near Charleston in heavy traffic. We went while it was still daylight which made it less likely we would get lost.

Actually, it was an uneventful drive with the aid of our sometimes trusty GPS. We made only one wrong turn, that being getting off one driveway too soon. It was easily rectified, unlike some situations we find ourselves in.

The steaks were perfectly cooked, the baked potatoes were hot and fluffy, the little loaf of bread was great, and the Caesar salad was delicious. What more could we ask of a meal? We always vow to return once a month but we figured the last time we dined at that chain was back in June for our wedding anniversary.

Holiday stain-busting tips keep carpets bright “It is important to treat spots and stains promptly and properly to avoid letting them do permanent damage to the fibers,” explains Barry Lichtenstein, a certified master textile cleaner and owner of Amcho Carpet Cleaning in Framingham, Mass.

“This can cause damage to either the color or texture of the fibers.”

leave your carpet looking drab. Lichtenstein says many homeowners with good intentions are actually making stains worse by incorrectly treating the spots. He advises homeowners to avoid these common mistakes when treating carpet stains: — Do not over-saturate the stain with cleaning products. This just makes a small spot larger.

— Do not rub the carpet.

This can cause damage to the texture of the carpet.

— Do not put water on a dry soil. Rather, make sure to vacuum it first.

When fighting the inevitable drips and dribbles of entertaining at home, Lichtenstein says there are a few general best practices for treating carpet stains.

1. First, remove as much

lar motions, the stain will spread.

4. Finally, blot with cool water, then blot dry.

From candy canes to fudge to Grandma’s famous yams, most stains can be cleaned using these techniques. For additional stain removal information, Lichtenstein recommends visiting the Carpet and Rug Institute (CRI) Residential Spot Solver on carpet-rug.org, or choosing a spot remover from the CRI list of tested and certified products.

In addition to stains, parties mean more foot traffic in your home. As people come and go during your holidays, you’ll likely notice extra soil on carpets and other flooring. There’s no need to panic that your carpet investment is compromised.

(BPT) — Whether it’s the ghouls trick-or-treating on Halloween, the gobbles of great food on Thanksgiving, or the gatherings of loved ones over the holiday season, you will likely be hosting an event at your home. Food and friends make the perfect pairing for celebrations — but that can mean spills and splashes on carpets. There’s no need to panic when you know the tricks the pros use to treat tough holiday carpet stains.

indoors. A high efficiency vacuum from the Seal of Approval list removes 80 percent or more of the soil in a carpet — making carpet a good option even for allergy sufferers.

“Carpets and upholstery fabrics should be cleaned on a regular basis before they show overall soiling or staining,” Lichtenstein says. “When a high level of overall soiling or staining has been reached, there is always some permanent damage that has occurred.

For the best results, clean the fabrics before they reach that level of soiling.”

How often should you vacuum? The CRI recommends high-traffic or pet areas be vacuumed daily, medium-traffic areas be vacuumed about twice a week and light-traffic areas should be vacuumed weekly.

For tough holiday stains or deep set-in soils, it may be time to call in the professionals for help. Working with an IICRC certified firm (a leading certifying body for the cleaning and restoration industries) that uses CRI Seal of Approval equipment and cleaning agents ensures your carpets and upholstery will be cleaned the right way by knowledgeable experts.

Board of health working to close budget gaps

By CHRISTINE L. PRATT Staff Writer MILLERSBURG — In the wake of a second failure at the polls, members of the Holmes County District Board of Health will have to discuss the potential for a third goround when they meet Friday.

Without talking much about another levy attempt, they did take some remedial steps at their November meeting to close some budget gaps.

In a continued effort to

bring fees in line with the associated costs of services, members gave a preliminary nod of approval to proposed increases to water and sewer fees.

Water collection fees will increase from $50 to $100 when done by a sanitarian and from $20 to $50 when collected by the owner.

If approved, sewage inspection fees will all increase $25, to a maximum proposed fee of $275. Fees for small flow on-site sewage treatment system also will increase $25, with the exception of holding tanks, which will

remain $50.

The fees feed into two funds that traditionally have been supplemented by revenues from the district health fund, said Holmes County Health Commissioner Dr. D.J. McFadden, explaining continued efforts are being made to better help the department recoup its actual expenses and overcome the hurt of the levy failure.

In November, by a count of 2,500 (47.94 percent)-2,715 (52.06 percent), voters rejected the district’s request for additional local funding

through a proposed 0.75mill, 10-year operating levy.

If passed, the health levy would have cost the owner of a $100,000 home an additional $26.26 annually. It would generate $608,900 annually and provide the funds to cover the cost of moving toward accreditation and help the department better face cuts in direct funding from the state and increasing expenses — to compensate for services no longer provided by the Ohio Department of Health and general operations.

The board of health also committed that passage of the levy would prompt the health district to return to a funding pool $207,000 annually awarded to the district from inside millage.

McFadden said in light of the failure the health board must give serious consideration to its next move, including whether to re-approach a levy option to ensure continued survival and control of the local health district.

In the interim, he said, they’ll continue looking at ways to make ends

meet, which likely will affect more environmental health fees, the clinic and the immunization program.

“While disheartening, our staff have rallied and ... we are moving rapidly to make cuts and generate revenue where we can,” McFadden said of the levy failure.

The full list of recommendations, he said, is set to come before the board when it meets on Friday.

Downtown Millersburg to benefit from new website MILLERSBURG — A new and improved website invites visitors to shop, dine and stay in Historic Downtown Millersburg.

“We are proud to be a Heritage Ohio Main Street Community continually working on revitalization efforts in our downtown,” the website announces.

“Historic Downtown Millersburg offers unique shopping, dining, pubs, lodging, museums and recreation.

In our downtown, merchandise is hand-crafted by local artisans, and everyone is greeted with

a smile.”

The revamped website features special offers, an event schedule and a photo gallery showing scenes of past events and the village’s historic buildings — even an old photo of the Holmes County Courthouse.

“We can list so much more information now,” said Historic Downtown Millersburg Executive Director Judy Lamp.

“Most importantly, it keeps people aware and connected to what’s going on — and it gives it to you in a glance.”

The site also highlights exciting happenings in the downtown, such as

an upcoming event or a favorite local business.

Currently, the site spotlights Children’s Night and Girl’s Night Out while providing a shortcut to local businesses Bag’s Sports Pub, Hotel Millersburg, Starlight Antiques and the Village Antique Emporium.

“The photo gallery, the spotlights, the events … it all gives people so much more information,” said Lamp. “For events, we can highlight it with pictures and large descriptions about each event.”

With the spotlights, HDM will be able to advertise special events, store anniversaries, spe-

cials or sales as well.

Local businesses are also invited to join the organization, as the website provides a downloadable HDM enrollment form.

For example, Antiques in the Alley vendors will be able to download the vendor contract right from the website for the May and August event.

“It’s all available right on the site,” said Lamp.

“It’s a quick reference for people.”

Other features include information about Historic Downtown Millersburg, contact information, a list of members and a history of Millersburg, as well as

E. Holmes schools win $200,000 grant

By CHRISTINE L. PRATT Staff Writer E. HOLMES DISTRICT — Students attending Winesburg and Mount Hope elementary schools soon will begin to discover themselves as “Cabinets of Wonder,” thanks to a state grant designed to help enhance learning.

The $205,485 grant awarded to East Holmes was one of 24 winning proposals, which will receive a combined $88.6 million in January from the Ohio Department of

Education’s Straight A Fund.

“Through a focus on literacy, the arts and our unique Amish-Mennonite culture in eastern Holmes County, students in our two rural elementary schools will grow to see themselves as special ‘Cabinets of Wonder,’ while documenting and sharing their artifacts of learning into personal ePortfolios,” according to the project summary.

“This project will help students increase learning achievement in literacy and 21st Century skills, while reducing spending

through refreshing and updating our infrastructure, and utilize a greater share of resources in the classroom through the flexibility and innovation of tablet technology which has been specifically designed for use in educational settings.”

It is projected to impact 288 students by improving the infrastructure at Winesburg and Mount Hope elementary schools, according to Superintendent Joe Edinger, explaining the grant’s name is “based on the idea that each child has special gifts and interests

that will be highlighted through this project.”

Those buildings, he said, have yet to be linked with higher speed data connections, and the current state mandates are subjecting the district to the additional expense of making that a reality, by not only expanding connectivity but adding technology.

Additionally, students in both buildings will have “the opportunity to develop learning portfolios through content managed LearnPads and to expand the Newbury and Caldecott literature pro-

grams that these young readers have grown to love.”

“We are very excited about the direct impact to these two buildings, but the secondary impact is the entire district infrastructure is funded for network updates that are required to implement the grant at the awarded schools,” according to Edinger. “It will not alter our respect for the cultural expectations and digital concerns of Amish families. We are continuing to work with the Amish Advisory Boards and Church to find this

balance. Meeting the needs of our students and respecting the interests of our community will remain a top priority.

“This grant allows us many opportunities and allows us to work more efficiently. Improving services and saving district funds is a win-win for everyone,” he said.

The state budget appropriated $150 million for a second round of grant awards in FY15.

Use professionals to correctly trim landscape trees You and your landscape trees have made it through another season — drought, insects, or early leaf drop might have been the battles you had to fight for months ... at least as far as your trees are concerned. You may think that because the now dormant, leafless trees have made it this far into the calendar, you can now breathe easy. Think again! With winter storms approaching, hazards in trees should be removed now — before they damage property or the tree.

Winter is a great time to examine the stability and health of your trees, say tree care experts. Why? With the leaves off, cracks, defects and deadwood are easier to see.

“Most trees can be pruned year-round, if pruned properly,” says

Tchukki Andersen, Board Certified Master Arborist, Certified Treecare Safety Professional and staff arborist for the Tree Care Industry Association. “And certain operations are easier to do in the winter, if the ground is frozen or the tree is not actively growing.”

Some homeowners worry that arborists will not be able to determine deadwood on a tree when the leaves are off. “On the contrary,” says Andersen. “This is the best time for an arborist to locate deadwood by looking for changes in branch color, fungus growth, cracks and other symptoms that can help them make this determination. Since the leaves are off, the view of the entire tree’s architecture is clear and a thorough check can be per-

formed.”

Pruning is much more than the simple act of sawing off limbs. Proper pruning is an art based on scientific principles of plant physiology. At its most basic level, pruning trees involves removing damaged, dead or structurally weak limbs, which will improve a tree’s health and reduce the chances of personal or property damage caused by falling limbs. More advanced pruning methods aid in improving the tree’s structure and long-term health.

Proper pruning encourages growth, increases flower and fruit production, improves plant health, and removes damaged limbs, all which give aesthetic appeal to a tree.

Pruning at the right time and in the right way is critical, since it is possible to kill a tree through neglect or over-pruning.

How can a homeowner

know if an arborist will prune a tree correctly?

“Ask the arborist if they prune according to the American National Standards Institute standard for tree pruning, which is called ANSI A300,” says Andersen.

This standard recommends, and in some cases requires, that the use of certain tools, cutting techniques and pruning methods be followed, and sets the standard definitions for terms the arborist will use in your estimate.

Properly written work estimates for tree pruning should be written in accordance with ANSI A300 standards.

In addition to the information given on the work estimate, ANSI A300 sets some guidelines for basic pruning practices that arborists should follow.

Arborists adhering to the ANSI A300 pruning standard will:

— not leave branch stubs — make few or no heading cuts — not cut off the branch collar (not make a flush cut) — not top or lion’s tail trees (stripping a branch from the inside leaving foliage just at the ends) — not remove more than 25 percent of the foliage of a single branch — not remove more than 25 percent of the total tree foliage in a single year — not damage other parts of the tree during pruning — not use wound paint — not prune without a good reason — not climb the tree with climbing spikes A professional arborist can assess your landscape and work with you to determine the best trees and shrubs to plant for your existing landscape. Contact the Tree Care Industry Associa-

tion, a public and professional resource on trees and arboriculture since 1938. It has more than 2,000 member companies who recognize stringent safety and performance standards and who are required to carry liability insurance. TCIA has the nation’s only accreditation program that helps consumers find tree care companies that have been inspected and accredited based on: adherence to industry standards for quality and safety; maintenance of trained, professional staff; and dedication to ethics and quality in business practices. An easy way to find a tree care service provider in your area is to use the “Locate Your Local TCIA Member Companies” program.

Gibbs asks people to send in ‘affordable’ health care stories

By U.S. REP. BOB GIBBS 7th District Every day I receive emails, letters and phone calls from constituents on all topics that matter most to you. I also recently held a telephone town hall where the listeners were able to dictate what issues we discussed. The single most discussed issue through all forms of constituent communication has been your disgust with Obamacare.

As some of you may know, I also had trouble signing up for Obamacare. These past few weeks I logged on to the D.C. health exchange to sign up for my new health care plan. It took numerous tries; all the while my information was never saved. It took multiple tries on the computer, along with assistance from the help line for me to ultimately sign up. After I had enrolled I was told I was in the system successfully and had picked a plan but was never notified what my premiums would be. This disappointment and uncertainty has been found across the country on websites that should be facilitating the sign-ups.

According to the Associated Press, the White House estimated in September that “494,620 people would sign up... by Oct. 31” and “projected enrollment would reach 3.3 million nationally by

Dec. 31.” We have now learned that only 364,682 Americans have selected a health plan through either a state or federal insurance marketplace in the first two months since they launched, according to HHS. These numbers are more proof that this unworkable law is not only harmful but it is also something that the American public is not supporting.

I wanted to take a moment to share with you just some of the Obamacare stories I have received because it’s important to me that their stories are heard. A man from Coshocton wrote in that his premiums would increase $300 per month because he has been put on a new health care plan.

His previous plan was not as expensive and he will

now have trouble paying due to the increase.

A constituent from Centerburg, emailed in to express her disgust with the current law. She was once a supporter of the law because she, like many other Americans, believed that it would simply no longer be possible for an insurance company to deny a person based on pre-existing conditions. As the law has gone into effect, she has felt as though she has been misled. Her family does not qualify for subsidies and will be expected to pay $12,000 a year for only 60 percent health insurance coverage under the law.

She is frustrated because she and her husband would like to be able to put money away for their children’s college education but the only way they

would see a decrease in the amount they pay for insurance would be to make less money.

Many of your stories are similar to this family in Centerburg. Now these families are faced with an increase in their monthly premiums that they can barely afford and this increase is not built into their already tight budget.

American families are continuing to experience so much uncertainty because of Obamacare.

Whether it’s losing their current doctor, the astronomical increase in premiums and deductibles or the unworkable website; the American people have been left out in the cold due to this law. I will continue to work with my colleagues to work for solu-

Hawks eke out win over Knights

By KEVIN LYNCH Sports Writer On a cold and blustery night in Berlin, there was nothing like a little Holmes County barnburner of a basketball game to heat things up.

And despite coming out as cold as the freezing temperature outside, missing all eight of their 3-point attempts in the first half, the Hiland Hawks managed to gut out a 53-51 victory over the visiting Knights of West Holmes, spoiling the homecoming of former Hiland coach Keith Troyer.

“I think both team played extremely hard,” Hiland coach Mark Schlabach said. “We didn’t shoot free throws well, missed some key boxouts,

and we didn’t execute some of our offensive sets very well, but we made some gutsy plays down the stretch.”

Like the trap and forced turnover at halfcourt with 1:02 remaining after Todd Ropp hit a pair of free throws to pull Hiland within 51-50. Or Eric Miller’s ensuing drive to the bucket that gave the Hawks a 52-51 lead with 48 seconds remaining.

The Knights had the ball and plenty of time.

And they also had Brady Arnold, who had carved up the Hiland defense for 21 points. The Knights got the ball in to Arnold, who drew a double-team as he drove toward the lane. As the Hiland defense collapsed on him, he dished a pass down low to Luke

Ogi, who put up a shot that rimmed out.

Ropp ripped down the rebound with four ticks left on the clock, and Hiland’s Jordan Yoder split two free throws to seal the victory. “(Ogi’s) shot wasn’t why we lost the game,” West Holmes coach Keith Troyer said. “He’ll make that the next time. When they turned up the pressure, we didn’t take care of the ball. There was a stretch there where we had some turnovers and that swung the momentum a bit. I’m proud of the effort these guys put out tonight.”

The Knights came out smoking, getting 3-pointers from Scotty Troyer, Chance Cline and Arnold, and another from Troyer to open up an early lead they stretched to 20-8 after a quarter. West Holmes started 7-of-11 from the field, while the Hawks made only 4-of-12.

“That was part of the problem in the first quarter. We’re used to making a play after a little bump, but West Holmes is a little stronger than some of the other teams we’ve played,” Schlabach said.

“That was an adjustment we had to make.”

Another Cline triple gave the guests a 25-12 lead midway through the second quarter, before the Hawks picked up the intensity defensively, forced a few turnovers and got a couple stops, and buckets by Todd Ropp and Jordan Yoder pulled the Hawks back within eight (29-21) at intermission.

“Our last four possessions (of the first half) were key,” Schlabach said.

“We got it eight. We finally settled down a little bit, got some stops, and had some good offensive possessions. We actually had a good possession that we didn’t score on, and that helped us gain a little bit of confidence before halftime. That settled us down and we played better in the third quarter.”

Jordan Yoder nailed a 3-pointer from the top of the key for the first triple of the evening for the Hawks, igniting a 9-1 run that evened the score at 30-30 midway through the third quarter. Hiland West Holmes’ Josh Neer scores two points in the first half of the battle between the Knights and Hawks this past Saturday.

would actually lead on a basket by Ropp (22 points), but Arnold’s two foul shots gave the Knights a 37-36 advantage heading to the fourth quarter.

The lead went back and forth as the teams traded free throws, but a Brady Schlabach triple gave Hiland a 41-39 lead midway through the final frame.

A three-point play by Arnold put the Knights up 44-42, but Ropp canned his lone 3-pointer of the night to put the Hawks right back on top 45-44.

Neer netted two free throws and Arnold added another three-point play to give West Holmes a 49-45 lead with two minutes to play in the game.

Miller came back with a three-point play at the other end to pull the Hawks back within one.

Neer, who finished with eight points, scored inside on a beautiful pass from Arnold to make it 51-48.

Ropp answered with a pair of free throws and then the Hawks stole the ball, setting up Miller’s game-winning bucket with 48 seconds to play.

“There were some things we were disappointed in tonight, but we also showed the ability to come back,” Schlabach said. “That’s the first time we’ve been behind all year. Those are things we can hang our hat on later in the year.”

The win improved Hiland’s record to 5-0, while West Holmes dropped to 4-1.

“I thought both teams played hard,” Troyer said.

“They fought hard, both teams hustled, they made a couple more plays than we did. It’s tough to lose games like this, but we’ll be OK. “This was a learning experience. We’re only five games in,” the coach continued. “This is the first time for a lot of these guys at the varsity level.

On returning to Hiland, Troyer admitted it was a little strange.

“Pregame, it was different. It felt strange.

I coached a lot of these kids in baseball. I knew all of them,” Troyer said.

“But in the big picture, it was just another game.

I give our guys a lot of credit, coming back from an overtime win last night at Lexington, and with all the hype surrounding this game, the effort they gave, I’m very proud of them.”

Hiland’s Todd Ropp rips down a rebound in front of West Holmes’ Brady Arnold during the battle of Holmes County this past Saturday in Berlin.

Troyer right at home as West Holmes coach Keith Troyer was Kevin in a strange Lynch place SaturStaff Writer day at the Perry Reese Jr. Community Center.

When he graduated from Hiland in 1986, he finished his career as the leading scorer in school history with 1,421 points, helping the Hawks to the state tournament that final year.

After taking his talents to Malone College to play, he returned home to teach in the East Holmes District and served as an assistant coach on Perry Reese’s squad. After Reese’s untimely death in 2000, Troyer took over and guided the Hawks for five seasons.

On Saturday night, Troyer returned to the Reese Center donning enemy apparel. He was dressed in West Holmes clothes, guiding the Knights in his first season as coach at the cross-county rival.

Just last spring, Troyer was coaching a lot of the members of the Hawks

basketball team as first base coach for the Hiland baseball squad. He admitted he felt a little out of place, but never let it show.

“Pregame, it was different. It felt strange. I coached a lot of these kids in baseball. I knew all of them,” Troyer said.

One of those players was Todd Ropp.

It would be easy to understand if Troyer unfriended Ropp on Facebook after the way the Hiland senior treated the Knights. All Ropp did was pour in a gamehigh 22 points on 8-of-10 shooting from the field, including one 3-pointer.

He also ripped down seven rebounds to lead the Hawks in that category as well.

“There’s not much you can’t like about Todd Ropp,” Troyer said. “He works so hard. He’s a good kid. I wish nothing but the best for him.”

Lady Hawks sink Pirates behind high-scoring Regina Hochstetler

By KEVIN LYNCH Staff Writer It doesn’t take much to get Regina Hochstetler going. The high-scoring senior scored 14 of Hiland’s 22 first-quarter points in the last three minutes of the opening period.

The Cedarville-bound senior finished with 27 to help the Hawks sink neighboring Garaway 60-47 in an Inter-Valley Conference clash.

With the Hawks trailing 7-5 midway through the first quarter, Hochstetler scored on a driving layup.

She followed that with a 3-pointer to give the Hawks the lead at 10-7.

Lexi Beachy scored inside for the Pirates to pull the visitors back within 10-9.

Sasha Goings stroked a triple from the top of the key and Hochstetler converted a turnover into a three-point play.

Another Garaway turnover and another Hochstetler triple and Hiland had a 19-9 lead.

The Pirates threw away another pass and Hochstetler nailed a triple at the buzzer to give the Hawks a 22-9 lead after one.

The Pirates spent the

rest of the game trying to get over that hump, but couldn’t do it in suffering their first IVC loss of the season (4-2, 3-1).

“We knew Regina had the ability to hit the threes and she got loose a couple times, and she knocked them down,” Garaway coach Jim Monigold said.

“At the same point, when you’re getting two or three shots a trip, she’s going to find a way to get open.”

A three-point play by Goings and a Hochstetler 3-pointer helped Hiland build a 33-15 lead at intermission.

“I thought we had a great run there in the first half,” Hiland coach Dave Schlabach said. “It was good to see we played some minutes of Hiland basketball.

I’ll take that for now. We gave up a lot of points in the fourth quarter, but irregardless of that, I saw some Hiland basketball, we rotated, we pressured.”

The Hiland coach offered high praise for the play of Hochsteter, comparing her to one of Hiland’s all-time best players, Jena Stutzman.

“When she takes a shot, you just expect it to go in. If you give her an open three, she takes it.

If you get up in her grill, she footworks you and

does the next best thing,” Schlabach said. “Her reading ability is so good.

She understands the game so well. She knows how to score. She reminds me more and more of Jena all the time. She’s not the passer Jena was, but she gets the right shot off. And that’s what Jena used to do all the time.”

Hochstetler scored seven in the third quarter and Mackenzie Miller added a score inside as the Hawks took a 44-28 lead into fourth quarter, where the Pirates made a gallant run, but came up short as Hiland improved to 4-1 on the season, 3-0 in the IVC. Hochstetler was Hiland’s lone player in double figures with 27. The Hawks had nine players score in all. Goings and Emily Yoder finished with six points apiece, but Goings missed the second half with an injury.

“The balance is a concern. We had to keep scoring because they’re very capable,” Schlabach said.

“Our post players, Erin (Schrock) and Mackenzie (Miller) gave us some good minutes. Erin got us some good boards tonight.

She is taking advantage of her minutes. She gives us a great effort when she’s in there. That’s all they’ve

got to give us, boards, hustle and make a layup.”

Garaway got 17 from Courtney Putt and nine from Katie Welker.

“That first quarter was big for us. It presented a challenge and the girls fought hard. We cut it to 10 in the fourth quarter.

All we can do is live and learn from it,” Monigold said. “You take away the first quarter and we played with them the rest of the game. That’s basketball. You’ve got to play four quarters.”

Hiland 91 Newcomerstown 12 This Inter-Valley Conference matchup was over after the tip as Hiland opened the game with a 38-0 first-quarter run Saturday afternoon at Newcomerstown. From there, the Hawks never flinched as they parlayed that into a 58-5 halftime lead and another easy conference win.

With a total of 13 players scoring, Hiland was led by Regina Hochstetler with 26 points and five rebounds, and Rachel Horn tossed in 13 points.

Megan Beachy chipped in 12 points, Mackenzie Miller pulled down a team-high seven boards and Emily Yoder dished out six assists.

Lady Knights roll over Lexington

By KEVIN LYNCH Staff Writer Even without one of its main defensive cogs, West Holmes played a near flawless first quarter, forcing a dozen turnovers by Lexington that led to easy buckets and an insurmountable lead.

The Knights sprinted out to a 28-2 advantage after the opening eight minutes and proceeded to crush the Lady Lex 75-14 in an Ohio Cardinal Conference clash Thursday in the Dungeon at West Holmes.

Senior defensive specialist Paiten Strother injured her finger in practice and watched as Alex Starr stepped in for her and did an admirable job in her place, scoring six of her 10 points in the first quarter.

Starr was one of four West Holmes players that finished in double figures. Laina Snyder led the way with 19 points and 11 rebounds. Hannah Clark tossed in 18, including three 3-pointers. Emily Molnar also connected from long range three times and finished with 16. Eight different players scored in all.

West Holmes pulled the full-court press off midway through the first quarter after building a 17-2 lead, but the Lady Lex still had a hard time penetrating the halfcourt defense played by the Knights.

“I tried to motivate the top seven or eight kids by giving them a challenge and they came pretty close to meeting it,” West Holmes coach Lisa Patterson said.

“You’ve got to play the game and prepare your team no matter who they’re playing and you don’t want to change how you play. The kids did a good job defensively early on and things kind of steamrolled from there.”
