Carroll County Library welcomes visitors Library patrons allowed to return with restrictions The Carroll County District Library re-opened to the public on July 6.

The library experience will be a little different than normal due to the Covid-19 virus.

Visitors will be required to wear a mask for the protection of the staff and fellow patrons.

Anyone not able to wear a mask can continue to receive curbside delivery.

At this time, the staff are requesting that anyone under 16 be accompanied by an adult.

Library hours at the main library will be Monday – Friday 9 a.m. – 7 p.m. Currently a limit of 10 patrons in the building is set.

Malvern Branch hours will be 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. Monday – Friday, with a limit of five patrons at a time.

The Bookmobile is running its summer schedule, with a limit of one person/family at a time on the bookmobile. The staff encourages patrons to call in any

requests for materials that can be checked out and ready for pick up.

Each morning from 9 – 10 a.m. (at the main library) is designated for the at-risk population, and from 10 – 11 a.m. each morning at the Malvern Branch.

Computers will be available for use by the public on a limited basis. Computer appointments may be made for anyone needing longer than 30 minutes.

Currently there are no meetings or programming. All summer reading programming is being done on the library’s Facebook page. (“Like” us on Facebook at Carroll County District Library!)

As safety is a huge concern, all returned materials will be placed in bins and quarantined for 72 hours. After the quarantine, the materials are checked in and cleaned. Materials stay on patron cards during the quarantine period. No fines are being charged during this time.

A recent study by Battelle Research showed that the virus that caused Covid-19 is not detectable on five common library materials after three days.

Carroll County Foundation supports community projects

By Nancy Schaar

The Carroll County Foundation’s Board of Governors has approved two grant requests.

Board members John H. Clark and Sean Smith presented checks last week.

Carrollton High School Principal Dave Davis accepted a grant of $1,000, which will be used for the Middle School’s Nature’s Classroom project.

Smith and Clark also presented a $1,000 check to representatives of Harbor Pointe Domestic Violence Shelter of Carrollton. The grant will be used to purchase office equipment.

“We are happy to present these funds to assist both of these worthwhile groups,” said Smith.

Clark added, “It is wonderful to make funds available and to be able to help take care of needs in the community.”

Pandemic delays Matt Little trial

By GEORGETTE HUFF In a pretrial hearing on Wednesday, July 1, Common Pleas Court Judge Michael V. Repella II said that Matt Little’s trial will not begin on July 13, as had been scheduled.

Little has been indicted on 15 felony and misdemeanor charges related to the death of 14-year-old Jonathan Minard, of Dellroy, in April 2019.

Acknowledging his previous advisement to both sets of attorneys, during a hearing held in 2019, to be ready because the trial would start on July 13, Repella said he could not have predicted the difficulty of seating a jury in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Repella will provide a list of available dates to Little’s attorneys and to Prosecuting Attorney Steven Barnett, who will coordinate the availability of each side’s probable witnesses.

A pretrial hearing has been scheduled for 9 a.m. on Friday, Aug. 7, during which Repella is expected to rule on a motion for a change of venue and two motions to suppress evidence that were filed by Little’s attorneys on May 22, and may announce a trial date.

Pastor’s Pen

Giving our Two Cents Have you ever heard the old phrase, “here’s my two cents” or “I got my two cents worth”? I have read a couple of perspectives on the origination of this idiom.

One perspective holds the expression comes from penny-ante poker. A player must use one penny for the ante and another to match the bet. Though I don’t know much about poker, I understand this would be the minimum to play the hand. At this point, however, they don’t have much into the hand. The saying then suggests a person’s “two cents” is not of great importance, but allows the person to play the hand further and carries the potential for success.

A second possible origin goes back to when a stamp cost two cents. People would write to the newspaper in hopes of getting their thoughts and opinions inserted into the reader’s column. If they were included in the column, the writer would feel they had a good return on their investment saying, “I got my two cents worth.” Even if they were not printed, they still got to give the editor their opinion, thus “I gave my two cents.”

Despite the origin of the phrase, the central concept holds. We put in our two cents because it is what we have to offer to the cause or conversation at hand, although generally, we feel that it won’t amount to much. But, just maybe, it will lead to something more and become an offering or sound word to someone who needs it.

This turns my thoughts to the lesson of the widow who offered her two small copper coins found in Mark 12:4144. There is some debate on the exact value of the coins, but Mark specifically claims that the amount is minuscule compared to the large sums given by the wealthy. Jesus, knowing this to be the last of the widow’s money, was moved by her offering. In response, he taught his disciples it is not what you give that matters, but how much you had to give of yourself in the offering that makes the difference.

Be encouraged, even your two cents can make a big difference in someone’s life. Sometimes we don’t think what we have to offer will amount to anything, but you never know. Sometimes, it is in the most insignificant gestures that make the greatest impact. For example, a lady once shared with me the greatest display of love and hospitality that she ever experienced was when she was very pregnant and having an exhausting day.Leaving the store, she turns and drops her keys. Bracing to make the difficult bendover, someone came and picked up her keys for her. The smallest gestures sometimes are those that make the greatest impact.

At other times, our offering is small but comes from significant personal costs and experiences. The widow gave out of her poverty the last of what she had to live on.

People may not know how much it cost you or took to give your two cents. Maybe it is an encouragement to someone having been in a similar situation yourself, maybe it is a caring smile to someone when you feel your patience is gone.

The purpose of this is not to say that every opinion is warranted or even welcomed, but if it means enough to you to offer to another or just seems like the right thing to do, whether it is a belief, word of wisdom, concept, compliment, a kind gesture, or service - you may be surprised the good that can come from it. The key is remembering, it isn’t what we get out of sharing our two cents, but how someone may be blessed by what God has given us to share or do for another.

Beech Creek Gardens offers revamped Critter Features program for the summer Alliance - See, learn, and experience wildlife upclose during the new Critter Features program at Beech Creek Botanical Garden and Nature Preserve offered every Monday and Thursday now through September 10, 2020. Each day of Critter Features, a wildlife expert will surprise visitors with a different animal and engage them in learning about the special critters. The program will be held three times a day at 10:30 a.m., 12:30 p.m. and 2:30 p.m. with the same animal being featured at each of the three presentations.

“Our goal at Beech Creek Gardens is to educate and inform people about their local environment and local wildlife,” explained Nancy Baker-Cazan, education director at Beech

Creek Gardens. “Critter Features is designed to help people learn about the critter that is being presented and we also teach about the habitat, explain where the critter came from, and why it’s important for people to pay attention to the habitat loss that’s taking place in today’s world.”

The new Critter Features program is a revamped version of the Critter Tuesday program that Beech Creek Gardens has offered for the past several years. The program was modified in part as an effort to reduce large crowds as a precaution due to COVID-19, but also because Critter Tuesday had been attracting increasingly larger crowds throughout the past few years. The new structure will create more opportunities for visitors

Sherry’s Book Corner Hi kids! I know you are having fun with the library summer reading program! You always do!

What a cool theme this year...Imagine Your Story. I bet all of you have a story to tell. I know I do.

Come to think of it, I have lots of stories to tell! Remember, every week until the 26th of July there are new packages you can pick up at the library for each event featured.

The book I am going to share with you is all about dragons.

Did you know that dragons are mentioned several times in the Bible?

Just look them up!

Also, the Bible tells of a serpent dragon named Leviathan, a gigantic monster that lived in the sea. Dragon stories have been written for thousands of years. They are a symbol of mystery and power. They are supposed to frighten us, but they can also be funny and caring crea-

to enjoy wild animals upclose in a more personal atmosphere.

“I really enjoy seeing the wonder and excitement on children’s faces when they’re taking a close look at an animal that maybe they’ve only seen in a picture book or in a movie,” Baker-Cazan shared.

The educational wildlife presentations will feature a variety of animals, including those from the botanical gardens’ own collection of reptiles, amphibians and native Ohio animals to exotic birds, raptors, and unique mammals from other wildlife organizations, like flying squirrels and a fox.

Different from previous years, Critter Features will be welcoming new animals from Raptor Hallow Sanc-

tures.

Our granddaughter, Ada loves dragons.

As a matter of fact, she designed her own notecards featuring a dragon. She sells them on Etsy online.

Until next time, enjoy these dragon stories!

Your friend, Sherry Sherry Kline Bolitho Children’s Book Title: Dragons Fantasy and Folklore By: John Hamilton Publisher: ABDO & Daughters Price: Not listed Age group: 8-adult Available at the Carroll County District Library Some scholars trace the dragon myth to ancient Babylon, 4,000 years ago. Dragons spark our imagination. Some people guess that dragons may be humankind’s ancient memories of dinosaurs. Some of the earliest dragon tales can be traced to the Middle East and surrounding areas.

Colorful illustrations bring to life each dragon. Whether they are mean, sad or happy, you will fall in love with each one as I did. The English word for dragon comes from the Greek word drakon of draca, which means serpent. They are usually bigger than an elephant.

Minerva’s ‘Fair Food in the Park’ replaces Homecoming with food trucks Minerva’s annual Homecoming was cancelled in June, but residents will not have to wait until 2021 for their favorite fair foods.

tuary, a non-profit organization that provides refuge for birds of prey, reptiles, mammals, and other birds that are unable to be released back into the wild.

In addition, Beech Creek Gardens has continued their partnership with Clover Field Wildlife Care, a non-profit wildlife rehabilitation facility dedicated to the healing of injured and orphaned wild animals.

The educators at Beech Creek Gardens and their partner organizations hope to provide visitors with knowledge that will inspire them to respect and be mindful of wild animals, especially native Ohio wildlife.

“I personally want people to pay closer attention to the animal life that is around them daily because

there’s more than we realize,” said Baker-Cazan regarding her vision for the Critter Features program.

“I hope Critter Features encourages people to take time to sit in their yard and pay attention to the wildlife and plant life that is trying to exist in cooperation with them and not take it for granted, appreciate it more, and make space for it.”

Although Critter Features is included with general admission to the botanical garden, the nonprofit organization is asking visitors to consider bringing a donation for Clover Field Wildlife Care, Raptor Hallow Sanctuary, or for the resident animals inside the Amazing Garden Plant Science Center. Item wishlists for each of the organizations can be found on the

Huggins withdraws lawsuit, camp allowed to reopen

By GEORGETTE HUFF In an unexpected turn of events, the Court of Common Pleas received notice on Monday, July 6, that LAH & Associates, LLC, dba Eastern Ohio Sports Complex, would withdraw its lawsuit against Lance Himes, in his official capacity as Interim Director of the Ohio Department of Health, and the Carroll County General Health District (CCGHD).

In a hearing lasting approximately six hours on July 1, Judge Michael V. Repella II heard testimony from plaintiff Larry Huggins, sole owner of the sports complex, from Dr. Amy Acton, former director of the Ohio Department of Health and currently an advisor to Gov. Mike DeWine, and from Jerry Snodgrass, executive director of the Ohio High School Athletic Association (OHSAA).

Questioned by his attorney, David Campbellof Lewis, Brisbois, Bisgaard & Smith, LLP, of Cleveland, Huggins recounted his family’s history with the sport of basketball. His father, Charlie, who founded the camp in 1969, coached high school teams. Huggins and his brother, Harry, played in high school and college, as did their brother, Bob, who currently is head basketball coach at his alma mater, West Virginia University.

After receiving“a call from my four sisters and my father, who was getting up in years,” Huggins agreed to purchase the camp.

“I didn’t want to take over the camp, to be quite honest,” he said. However, since purchasing the camp in 2000, he has expanded and added camps for volleyball, football and marching bands. He said “thousands of kids” have told him how important the camp has been to them.

Asked why he had filed the lawsuit, Huggins said, “The business is going

bankrupt because I can’t open.”

Under cross-examination by attorney Marion Little of Zeiger, Tigges & Little of Columbus, LLP, Huggins said that while the camp’s typical gross revenue is $850,000 to $1 million annually, the camp has not consistently shown a profit because the money was reinvested into the company. He said he claimed a profit of approximately $180,000on his 2018 tax filing. Thus far in 2020, the camp has received $82,000 in federal payroll protection funds, which were used to pay camp employees and the mortgage.

Huggins said a CCGHD employee, whose name he could not recall, told him that if he were allowed to reopen the camp, he would have to have to comply with “CDC and state regulations.” Asked about specific plans to safeguard campers’ health, Huggins quoted Dr. Anthony Fauci’s statement, that the risk is low for people under the age of 18, and said he would comply with Department of Health directives “to the best of our ability.”

Acton, who testified on behalf of the state, was the director of the Ohio Department of Health at the time the shutdown order went into effect.

She described the early stage of the COVID-19 pandemic, when little was known about the nature of the virus, and then focused on efforts to mitigate the exponential spread of the of the virus, including the closing of non-essential businesses, issuing socialdistancing orders and encouraging people to wear masks.

She explained what is now known about how the virus affects the entire body as an individual’s immune system attempts to respond to it.

She said researchers are learning more about “mor-

bidity” – the long-term effects of COVID infection, especially in the 60 percent of Ohioans with one or more risk factors that include diabetes, obesity, congregant living conditions, age, kidney disease, hypertension and COPD. She described the mechanics of spreading the disease by expelling “respiratory droplets,” and outlined the “exponential spread” of disease over four months, from March 9, when there were three known cases in Ohio, to June 30, when there were over 52,000 known cases in the state. She noted that it took over two months to reach one million cases worldwide, and then only eight days to reach two million.

While skeptical that a vaccine will be available by the end of the year, Acton said that after the 9/11 attacks in 2001, a White House task force developed a “playbook” that outlined a “national strategy” for dealing with worldwide pandemics including social distancing, shuttering non-

essential business and limiting international travel.

Acton also disputed the risk factor for children under 18, saying that age does not lower the risk of contracting or transmitting the disease.

In redirect questioning, Campbell asked, “When was the last time people were quarantined for two months?” Acton: “Actually, people with infectious diseases are quarantined all the time.”

Campbell: “Have voters approved a shut down?”

Acton: “This is a public health emergency” that is “covered by the Ohio Revised Code.”

Campbell: “Why wasn’t more care taken with nursing homes?” Acton: The state sought to “limit congregate activities.”

In instances when Campbell questioned her income and her thoughts on comments made by attorneys at the Ohio Department of Health, Acton replied, “We are in the midst of a worldwide pandemic,” and concluded with “People have worked 24/7 to protect

the lives and livelihoods of Ohioans” in a fast-moving situation.

Following Acton’s testimony, Jerry Snodgrass said the OHSAA were warned by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that the highest risk in “opening up” was in contact sports among athletes from different areas.

He said high school sports were “shut down” on March 16, and schedules were completely cancelled in May. While hoping to “move forward” on Aug. 1, he said they wouldn’t know until July 31, if fall sports events will take place.

Snodgrass said OHSAA has had “significant input” in the governor’s planning and “have strongly recommended pulling back” on dates suggested by some advisory groups in order to not reopen (sports) too soon.

He said OHSAA is “100 percent” in support of Lt. Gov. Jon Husted’s “Phase II” plan announced on June 22, limiting contact sports to intramural clubs and teams.

Responding to Campbell’s question during cross-examination, Snodgrass agreed it was “not the norm” to be contacted by the Statehouse regarding sports’ schedules. Nevertheless, Snodgrass said, “all phases (of reopening) will be determined by the governor’s office and added, “we have never been under a medical emergency before.”

Following closing arguments, Judge Repella said he would likely issue a ruling on July 6.

However, the court received an email from Huggins’ attorneys, early on Monday morning, asking that the suit be “dismissed with prejudice.”

In a telephone call on Monday, Campbell said the decision to drop the suit was prompted by the Ohio Department of Health’s modifying an order that effectively prevented residential camps from opening, in order to allow “a very large basketball tournament to be held in Columbus,” a reference to Ohio State University’s “The Basketball Tournament” which runs through July 14.

Also reached by telephone, Huggins acknowledged that while the sports complex is open, he does not expect to have a single camper, saying, “it is too late” for this year.

Expressing frustration that as “a taxpayer,” he was prevented from operating his business while the rules were changed to benefit “a large corporation,” Huggins said he “knew going in that it (the lawsuit) would not benefit his business,” but felt there was a “principle at stake.”

NOTE: In another unexpected development on Monday, the OHSAA fired Jerry Snodgrass and issued a statement saying, “The Board of Directors felt it necessary to go in a different direction with OHSAA leadership.”

Snodgrass out, Bob Goldring named OHSAA interim executive director COLUMBUS – Ohio High School Athletic Association Board of Directors President Dan Leffingwell has announced today that Bob Goldring has been named interim executive director, effective immediately.

Goldring has served as the OHSAA senior director of operations and is completing his 25th year as a member of the staff.

Goldring is serving as interim executive director

in place of Jerry Snodgrass, who assumed leadership duties in July 2018 when Dan Ross resigned after 14 years at the helm.

Snodgrass is leaving after 12 total years with the OHSAA following a 31year career in education as a teacher, coach and administrator.

While leading the administrative functions until a permanent executive director is selected, Goldring will also work closely

with state government leaders and school district administrators in developing a plan for return to play in the fall. The OHSAA will conduct a nationwide search beginning immediately to fill the executive director vacancy.

“Through a collaborative effort, we look forward to Bob guiding us and, more importantly, the OHSAA providing guidance to our member schools on the anticipated

re-start of interscholastic athletics this fall,” said Leffingwell, superintendent of the Noble Local Schools in Sarahsville.

“He brings a solid understanding of the association’s responsibilities to serve member schools and administer sports. Bob is a proven relationshipbuilder who will reliably serve our member schools until the position is filled permanently.”

During the 2015-16

school year, Goldring was also the OHSAA acting executive director from mid-March to mid-June of 2016 when Ross was on medical leave. A graduate of Orrville High School, he holds two degrees from The Ohio State University.

He joined the OHSAA in the fall of 1995 as director of information services, was promoted to assistant commissioner in June 2005 and served in that role until becoming senior

director of operations in August 2008.

“I am honored by the confidence the Board has placed in me,” Goldring said. “We have a solid team of knowledgeable and dedicated professionals at the OHSAA who are committed to serving our member schools. My top priorities are to prepare for return to play this fall and successfully lead the team until a permanent executive director is hired.”

Help track Ohio’s wild turkey and ruffed grouse

COLUMBUS – Citizen scientists can participate in surveying Ohio’s wild turkey and ruffed grouse populations by reporting sightings in July and August, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources Division of Wildlife.

Every summer, the Division of Wildlife conducts a turkey and grouse brood survey to estimate population growth. The brood survey relies on the public

to report observations of all wild turkeys and ruffed grouse seen during July and August. Observations can be reported at the wildlife species sighting webpage at wildohio.gov.

Information collected for wild turkeys includes the number of gobblers, hens and young turkeys (poults) observed. Information collected for ruffed grouse include the number of adults and young observed. The date and the

county where the observation occurred are recorded for both species.

This survey is conducted by state wildlife agencies across the wild turkey’s range, which includes Ohio. Information submitted to Ohio’s brood survey helps to predict future population changes and guide wild turkey management in the state and across the nation.

In 2019, the public submitted 436 valid reports

with a statewide average of 2.3 poults per hen. The 10year average is 2.6 poults per hen. Biologists began tracking summer observations of wild turkeys in 1962. Ruffed grouse were added to the survey in 1999.

The mission of the Division of Wildlife is to conserve and improve fish and wildlife resources and their habitats for sustainable use and appreciation by all.

Commissioners learn residents can receive help during COVID-19 pandemic

By NANCY SCHAAR Carroll County Director of Job & Family Services Kate Offenberger provided an update on the Prevention, Retention & Contingency Plan (PRC) at the July 20 meeting of the Board of Commissioners.

One change in the plan will be to end the COVID-19 services, as there have been only a few applications in recent weeks.

An eviction order is not required to receive rental assistance and those who need assistance with utilities no longer need a disconnection notice.

The changes were approved by the board.

Offenberger also said that there are services in the PRC Plan to help individuals who are trying to find a job, such as assistance with clothing, training or transportation. Offenberger also noted there is a subsidized unemployment program under which employers will be partially reimbursed for wages of employees who are eligible for assistance

under the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program.

Clerk Supervisor Chris Modranski informed the board that as of July 20, there were 52 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the county, including 39 who have recovered and three deaths.

Modranski said the health department has issued a health alert to the Lake Mohawk Property Owners’ Association regarding a Covid-19 outbreak in the Lake Mohawk community.

Ohio Regional Development Corporation Grant Director Scott Hillis advised the board of the PY18 Community Housing Impact & Preservation (CHIP) grant Tennant-Based Rental Assistance Program. Hillis said $22,000 had originally been allocated but the ADAMHS board, who has managed the funds, said only $5,500 has been used to date.

Hillis recommended that the remaining $16,500

should move to the HOME Owner Rehabilitation Program.

The board approved the transfer of $16,500 to the PY18 CHIP HOME Owner Rehabilitation program.

County Treasurer Jeff Yeager gave the quarterly investment report to commissioners. The total of all funds on deposit is $27,022,938. The amount on deposit one year ago was $25,755,805.

Interest earned on all accounts in the second quarter was $166,842. The total in the second quarter in 2019 was $181,039.

The total interest earned as of June 30 was $201,542.

The interest earned at this time in 2019 was $229,508.

In other business commissioners: - AUTHORIZED Board President Bob Wirkner to sign the Ohio Public Works Commission project grant agreement for $160,000, for the Avalon Road resurfacing project.

- APPROVED a contract with Eick Electric of

Malvern for $38,500 to install a generator for the 2019 Community Development Block Grant Friendship Center project.

- APPROVED a contract with Kienzle Repair Solutions of Minerva for $18,650 to install a walk-in freezer for the 2019 Community Development Block Grant Friendship Center project.

- AUTHORIZED the software support and voice maintenance schedule with Frontier Communications.

- APPROVED a rightof-way permit for Pattersonville Telephone Company for utility pole work on Arbor Road.

- RECEIVED the June report for the Golden Age Retreat with seven males and 27 females in residence.

- RECEIVED the June dog pound report with 14 impounded, 11 adopted out, five redeemed, one euthanized due to aggression, three citations for no license and two citations for running at large.

Three fire districts respond to a field fire Three fire districts were called out to Geiger farms in Malvern at around 6:30 p.m. Monday, July 6, to extinguish a fire in a field of wheat that was being harvested.

Great Trail Fire District received mutual aid from Sandy Creek and Mohawk fire districts to fight the fire as it spread in across the field located beside Avalon Road between the Malvern United Methodist Church and the Furey airstrip. The field was being harvested at the time.

According to firemen on the scene, they are uncertain exactly how the fire started, but most of the fire damage was on several acres in the middle portion of the field in an area which had already been harvested. Apparently a light northeasterly breeze pushed the fire towards the Methodist parsonage, touching the outskirts of the Hilltop Learning Center day care facility before it was contained.

Residents throughout Malvern could see the smoke. Embers did not

threaten homes. Portions of the field which were unharvested were undamaged.

A firefighter noted,

“The last time that field caught fire was almost 10 years ago.”

Crews could be seen working from the Furey

driveway and the side lot of the Methodist Church supplying water to trucks that were spraying down the field.

By CHARLES PEARSON

This past Saturday was the 244th birthday of the United States of America.

The founders of our nation considered Independence Day an important occasion for rejoicing.

John Adams said, “I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires and illuminations from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward for evermore.”

I hope you took note of the second sentence in John Adams’ quote – (It ought to be commemorated by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty).

Later, on July 4, 1821, John Adams said, “From the day of Declaration . . .

They (the American people) were bound by the laws of God, which they all, and by the laws of the Gospel, which nearly all, acknowledged as the rules of their conduct.” John Adams died on July 4, 1826.

Today there seems to be a trend to take God out of everything. So, I wonder how many of our citizens still acknowledge the laws of God as their rules of conduct? Our nation was founded by men who had a strong faith in God and on Biblical principals.

The Mayflower Compact of 1620 started with these words, “In the name of God, Amen, Having undertaken for the glory of God and advancement of the Christian Faith …”

The Constitution of the New England Confederation 1643 includes these words, “Whereas we all

came into these parts of America with one and the same end and aim, namely to advance the kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ and to enjoy the liberties of the Gospel in purity and peace.”

William Penn in the year 1681 said, “If you are not governed by God, you will be ruled by tyrants.” Our Liberty Bell is inscribed with words taken from the Holy Bible – Leviticus 25:10 – “Proclaim Liberty throughout the land unto all the inhabitants thereof.”

Our Declaration of Independence 1776 has four references to the dependence of our nation on God. Benjamin Franklin said in 1787, “Here is my creed.

I believe in one God, the creator of the universe…”

Alexander Hamilton said in 1787, soon after the Constitutional Convention: “For my own part, I sincerely esteem it a system which without the finger of God, never could have been suggested and agreed upon by such a diversity of interest.”

I pray that our citizens will always acknowledge the law of God as their rules of conduct.

Throughout the Bible we find that God’s primary purpose is for His people to be free. Free from physical oppression and hardship. So, this love of freedom imbued in every man comes from God. Liberation comes from God, but God desires His people to accomplish this.

Our veterans not only fought for and gained our freedom, but are still defending it throughout the world. I pray that on our birthday of freedom, our thoughts and prayers also included them.

Charles Pearson is the chaplain for the Malvern Legion Post 375 and Carrollton VFW Post 3301.

Firefighters from three districts extinguished a fire that started in the middle of a wheat field that was being harvested.

I was thinking about the destruction over the last 5 weeks, with no mayor stopping it in these Democrat-run cities and asking, why? LTC Allen West of Texas has one take on this.

“I have a question for all the delusional and disturbed little social justice warriors running around tearing down statues, monuments, and memorials in America: when are y’all gonna protest and abolish the Democrat party? We all know that the greatest purveyors of systemic racism in America have been the Party of the Jackass. Democrats didn’t support the 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments. They created the Ku Klux Klan, Jim Crow, and the policies of segregation. The longest filibuster in US Senate history was Senate Democrats against the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

The irrational tantrums you “useful idiots” are throwing only serve to evidence how abjectly ignorant you truly are.

Tear down the statue of Abraham Lincoln? Heck, the Republican Party of Texas was founded by free Black men!

Men who were freed by Abraham Lincoln. The Democrats created the KKK to prevent Blacks from voting Republican. So, let’s defund and abolish the Democrat Party. Their soft bigotry of low expectations continues to promote their well-known and systemic racism, which every major city controlled by Democrats proves. Dead confederate generals don’t offend me, the existence of the Democrat Party does.”

The goal of the Democrat Party is to abolish our current government and to start anew, with total control of the populous, as a Marxist regime. In all communist countries, it started with tearing down statues to erase history, abolishing the police and installing their own law enforcement, re-education in our schools, and having control of speech.

You can see this happening now and nothing is being done about it. The left wants the power to control every aspect of your life, and if successful, freedom will cease to ring.

We will be slaves to the will of the government just like the slave owners in the south over 160 years ago.

The radicals have taken over the party, and the thirst for power will not end. JFK wouldn’t know his party now.

Edison Local officals review plans, prepare to reopen schools in August Edison Local school board officials have reviewed plans in light of the COVID-19 lockdown and hope to proceed with reopening school doors in August.

The board discussed the matter during its June 25 regular session at Edison High School and is eyeing a traditional start for classes, barring any changes from the state level.

But officials are also looking at ways to help educate students remotely in the upcoming year and Supt. Bill Beattie said the goal is to be prepared for whatever looms on the horizon.

“As of right now, our plan is to come back in a traditional setting for five days a week, but we will prepare for any option moving forward,” Beattie said.

“We’re going to use Google Classroom as a learning management system and Google Meets as a means for teachers to meet and communicate with kids,” he said.

Beattie also said surveys were mailed to district parents which are not due until July 10, but so far 63 percent of the 168 recent respondents support having their children back in the classroom. Currently, Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine has given county health departments and local school districts the lead in reopening plans and options range from traditional schooling to blended learning and a completely remote education online. In any case, Beattie said the Google systems will play a role in student learning.

“We want to see if any directives come from the governor, and if the plans are up to the local health department and school districts we will move forward accordingly. Our plan is to try to provide some professional development for teachers during August so we’re ready to be up and running on day one,” he added.

Further talks entailed how to utilize three school resource officers at the school buildings since services were affected by the lockdown. Beattie said the board discussed how to proceed if the district faces a similar situation in the future and schools close

once again.

Meanwhile, the board was updated on projects continuing throughout the district. Beattie said a bid was approved for Playing Surface Solutions of Meadville, PA, to undertake the bulk excavation of the master facilities in preparation for walkways, plaza areas, the grandstand relocation and a building entrance gate on the high school campus.

The project costs an estimated $1,014,000 for phase one, but phase two plans were put on hold regarding the addition of baseball and softball fields on campus. Beattie explained there were financial constraints but leaders will decide how to proceed by the end of the year. When that phase proceeds, hopes are to have the ballfields ready for action in the spring of 2022, he explained.

Change orders were also approved with Vasco of Massillon for a concrete stabilization plan for unified athletics facilities at EHS, but officials learned that portion was not necessary and costs were reduced, saving the district an estimated $110,000.

Beattie added that costs for work at Stanton and John Gregg Elementary were more than $400,000 over the district’s allotted $6 million budget and the contract was reviewed again to eliminate the overrun. Those projects include updating windows and HVAC units, among other renovations.

In other matters, the board: - Employed Josh Haspel as computer technology teacher, Shannon Small as a Language Arts teacher, and Elizabeth Conley as the vocal music teacher, all three positions at Edison High School (EHS); - Entered into an agreement with the Columbiana County Educational Service Center for occupational therapy services; - Approved extended time for guidance counselors Sara McGee and Samanda Pepperling for 40 hours of extended time from June 1 to July 31, 2020; - Approved a contract with Trinity Health System for trainer services; - Contracted with the Jefferson County Board of

Developmental Disabilities (JCBDD) for special education services; - Approved the treasurer’s reports and donations such as the Dean BoringSarah Schaefer Scholarship for $200, the Mr. & Mrs. Bill Schaefer-Sarah Schaefer Scholarship for $800 and $228 from the East Springfield Jr. Women’s Club for EHS lunch accounts; - Approved a contract with BJAAM Environmental Services Inc. of Canal Fulton for environmental engineering services for ongoing monitoring and testing of 30 wells on the high school campus following a diesel fuel leak years ago which seeped into the ground; - Accepted a $3,000 grant from the Children’s Hunger Alliance of Ohio to help cover costs for the seamless summer feeding program; - Approved supplemental contracts for JoAnn Stagani as athletic director; Todd Smith as assistant athletic director; Shane O’Brien as head varsity football coach; Jason Fogle, Alfred Johnson, Mike Collopy, Greg Marsh and Nolan Marcus as assistant football coaches; Josh Waggoner, Mark Pittman and Tyler Stagani, volunteer varsity football; Collin Skeeles, Byron Rufkin, Bruce Palmer and James Evans, junior high football; Shane O’Brien, elementary football; Kodi Peterson, varsity golf; Andy Lesnansky, varsity boys’ soccer; Jordan Tice, varsity girls’ soccer; Kim Judy, volunteer girls’ soccer; Todd Smith, varsity volleyball; Keely Drabick, assistant varsity volleyball; Holly Johns and Tonyea Roberts, volunteer varsity volleyball; Sarah Louda and Samanda Pepperling, junior high volleyball; Maddie Brown and Casey Mozingo, fall junior high cheerleading; Jamie Evans, EHS Yearbook, district annual report/calendar and district website coordinator; Marc Sansone, EHS Band and extended band time; and Bev Sansone and David Schultz, EHS Band assistants; - Set the next meeting for July 23 at 6 p.m. at Stanton elementary school in Hammondsville.

Peterson is named Edison Teacher of the Month Edison High School teacher Kodi Peterson has been named Teacher of the Month for March.

Peterson has served as an intervention specialist for Edison Local Schools since 2015, beginning at Stanton Elementary before moving to EHS a year later. He has also served as head junior high girls’ basketball coach from 2015-17, junior high boys’ basketball coach from 2017-20, assistant baseball coach from 201518 and head junior high football coach in 2018.

For the past two seasons, he has acted as head coach of the golf program and had two players reach the district tournament - which are among a total of five in school history. He has also had two players named to the All Buckeye 8 Confer-

KODI PETERSON ence Tournament Team and one named to the AllOVAC Conference Tournament Team.

Peterson earned a bachelor’s degree in history and concentrations in secondary social studies and special education in 2014. As

a student, he traveled twice to Europe with a university study program and visited Austria, Germany, France and Slovakia. His experience included trips to Mauthausen and Sachsenhausen Concentration Camps, Versailles Palace, Hapsburg Palace, Melk Abbey and other sites.

He currently spends his free time hunting, fishing, traveling, kayaking and playing golf, as well as time with his girlfriend, Amanda, who is a professional horse trainer and rider.

They travel across Ohio, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and North Carolina for professional horse shows, including the World Equestrian Games, which were held last year in Tyron, N.C.

Potential Hydrogen Sulfide concern found at Atood Lake HUNTINGTON, W.Va. - The Huntington District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has determined that conditions exist in the outlet works area at Atwood Lake that could result in the presence and possible release of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) gases.

Hydrogen sulfide is a colorless gas that can be easily recognized by its “rotten egg” odor. Symptoms of exposure vary depending on the level and duration of exposure. Low concentrations irritate the eyes, nose, throat and respiratory system. Asthmatics may experience breathing difficulties. Exposure to moderate concentrations can also cause fatigue, dizziness, nausea and headaches. Young children are at particular risk.

This problem is normally confined to the area

adjacent to the outlet works and is not known to pose a problem to recreational users of the lakes. There is no indication that fish taken from these lakes pose a health risk if consumed.

The Corps will monitor H2S levels at the outlet works. Project employees will take readings to detect any presence of H2S gases around the outlet works and surrounding areas.

In the event that H2S gases at any public access site in these areas reaches levels that could pose a health risk to the public, those areas will be closed.

Due to public safety, the area immediately adjacent to the discharge at Clendening and Piedmont Lakes has been closed and will remain closed until the problem naturally corrects itself.

Hydrogen sulfide forms when the concentrations of

sulfates in the watershed immediately behind these dams are higher than normal. During the summer months, the sulfates are converted to hydrogen sulfide gas through microbial activity occurring in the bottom layers of the lake.

As the water leaves the lake, the hydrogen sulfide gas is released into the air, creating an unhealthy situation in the tail water areas.

Corps personnel will continue to monitor the situation for the presence of H2S and will notify appropriate agencies as well as the public if H2S concentration levels are determined to pose a threat to public safety.

For more information, please contact the Muskingum Area Office at 330365-4255 or the Public Affairs Office at 304-3995353.

Carroll County Board of DD plans to start school Aug. 26 “The plan is to have school (Carroll Hills) starting Aug. 26.”

That’s what Supt. Matt Campbell told members of the Carroll County Board of Developmental Disabilities (CCBDD) at their June 25 meeting via Zoom.

Campbell said the classroom size at this time will be eight students to a classroom. This means school age classrooms will resume the way they were before COVID-19 for the 24 enrolled school age students. However, proper COVID-19 safety guidelines will be followed, he noted.

Campbell also explained a plan for preschool, which is more complicated due to the normal classroom size of 16.

However, the board has plans for classroom size of eight by using different locations in the building and/or changing days for the 80 preschool students enrolled for the upcoming school year.

Campbell also discussed the COVID19 recommendations letter dated June 10. The superintendent said the board recommends that individuals remain with one day service provider and not going out of county for services.

He said Service and Support administrators will educate parents, guardians and individuals on Centers of Disease Control, local county health departments and Ohio Department of Health Department guidelines and rules for COVID-19.

“If the guardian and/ or individual wants to proceed with more than one day site or paid services outside of county, then the SSA will document this as an informed decision and the board through the team process will approve,” Campbell said.

Following a Service and Support Administrator meeting Campbell attended June 25 via

Zoom, Department of DD Director Jeff Davis advocated for county boards to get increased federal match of 6.2% starting Jan. 1, 2020, due to COVID-19.

“The state of Ohio is hit hard by decrease in revenue. DODD cut money sent to county boards for Family Selected Services and county boards will also have to pay an increase in match for Adult Day services starting June 1,” Campbell said.

He also presented the monthly Major Unusual Incident (MUI) report for May as emailed from Mid-East Ohio Regional Council showing 3 MUI’s in May and 32 year-todate.

It was also reported the Finance Committee met June 9 to go over provider requests for the $25,000 grant to address COVID19 expenses.

In other business, the Board: - APPROVED payment of $112,870.23 for May

bills in the General Funds account; - APPROVED payment of $14,827.81 for May bills in the Residential Services account; - APPROVED payment of $37,890.76 for May bills in the DD School levy account; - APPROVED the revised Community Network Coordinator position to add Special Olympics Coordinator duties; - APPROVED the financial committee motion to award Carroll Hills Industries $5,924.54; Starlight Enterprises Inc. $3,477.98; ALCO $1,025; Mayle Homes $7,286.24, and St. John’s Villa $7,286.24 for COVID-19 related expenses; APPROVED the Ethics Council recommendations for 2 new and 19 renewal applications for Family Selected Services; - SET the next meeting for July 23 at 5:30 p.m.. via Zoom, Facebook or at the County board office.
