Carroll commissioners finalize 2019 county budget

By NANCY SCHAAR FPS Correspondent

County commissioners finalized the 2019 budget on Jan. 3.

“This is the first time I can remember that we didn’t have to transfer money to bring the close out figures to zero,” said Commissioner Jeff Ohler.

Commissioner Bob Wirkner said the original budget requests totaled $10,057,000, but that had been brought down today to $10,018,000.

The certification of estimated receipts according to Auditor Lynn Fairclough is now $10,479,000.

With a few more dollars to work with, Wirkner suggested the grant given to the County Airport Authority be increased. They have been given $5,000 per year but Wirkner learned that amount does not even cover the real estate taxes so the money is just coming right back to the county and not providing a boost to the airport budget.

Following further discussion, commissioners agreed to increase the grant to the Carroll County Airport Author-

ity board to $15,000 for 2019.

Ohler brought up for discussion the funds needed to fix Magnet Road in Augusta Township. Trustee Carl Mangun had asked commissioners for help because the slippage was so severe they were going to have to close the road. They had been able to accumulate funds for the repair but were still $53,000 short. Mangun was very concerned that any emergency vehicle, police, fire, or ambulance, will take at least another 15 minutes to reach someone in that area if the road was closed.

Ohler believed that need should be

reconsidered since it relates to infrastructure of the county.

Commissioner Clerk II Chris Modranski spoke with Mangun and was informed that the township trustees had been able to raise all the funds needed for the road repairs.

Other changes to funds needed were for the county’s share of Multi-County Juvenile District. They had requested $181,000, but that had changed to only $110,000.

Leggett reported the Park District had sent a letter requesting $36,000 to install a warming kitchen and replace the roof of the barn.

A grant to the fair board was increased from $20,000 to $40,000 for 2019.

The amount from the general fund account for commissioners is $886,940, the sheriff’s department will receive $2,789,567, and the grant for the fire department was increased from $32,000 to $40,000.

The total amount appropriated for the general fund budget for 2019 is $10,074,176. The total approved for the county non-general fund is $20,882,800.

The grand total of all funds budgeted for 2019 for the county is $30,956,977.

Auditor reminds residents about deadline for CAUV renewals

By NANCY SCHAAR FPS Correspondent Carroll County Auditor Lynn Fairclough has sent letters to county residents who own agricultural land and who participate in the CAUV (Current Agricultural Use Valuation) program.

All renewal applications are due by March 4.

The CAUV program is to provide

tax relief to the owners of agricultural land who are actively using the land for commercial agriculture.

To stay in compliance with the program, each owner must file a renewal application each year, according to Fairclough.

Fairclough has mailed each CAUV participant a reminder that these application letters to the program must be sent in every year for renewal. The mailing from the county auditor will be the only notice residents will receive.

The rules for these application papers were changed in 2017 and are now due each year.

“If the renewal application is not returned by the first Monday in March, the land will be removed from the CAUV program and land owners will be required to pay a three year recoupment,” said Fairclough.

If anyone has any questions, they may visit the auditor at the Carroll County Courthouse or call her at 330-6272096.

Malvern Council discusses park issues

By NANCY SCHAAR FPS Correspondent There will be no dog park at Malvern Village Park.

Council has discussed the issue several times in recent months, but has not taken action.

Council member Eunice Thompson said Monday, Jan. 7, that village residents keep telling her that no one wants a dog park in the park. Council member Marci Hubbard also said that people are telling her they don’t want the dog park.

For years council has repeatedly stated that no dogs are allowed in the park. One of the issues residents had questioned was if you can’t have a dog in the park how do you get to the dog park. The proposed dog park would have been a fenced in area inside the village park.

The members of the park board have proposed this idea since last summer but many questions were not answered.

Those include questions as to who is going to clean up the dog park, what happens if two dogs get into a fight, escape the dog park by jumping over the fence and do they stay on a leash while in the dog park.

All members of council voted against establishing a dog park.

Council again brought up the subject of having garden tractor pulls at the park. Sandy Tucker had asked council last summer if her club could hold tractor pulls at the village park.

Tucker wanted to hold them in an area at the front of the park.

Council members have had a difficult time reaching Tucker and she has not been returning their phone calls.

Mayor Bob DeLong said he found a good area that could be used for the pulls, but was at the back of the park and would require a bit of work before it could be used for the events.

Following further discussion, council agreed that they did not know if Tucker’s group would even be interested in the second location.

DeLong was concerned that the front park site would be too near homes and noise, parking and other issues might upset residents. Council agreed they would wait to see if Tucker returns their calls.

In other business council: - ELECTED Barb Burgess as Council President for 2019.

- ASKED Solicitor Chas Murdock to prepare a leash law for the village.

- HEARD from Fiscal Officer Ashley Neading that the financial reports were finished for 2018. It was a great year.

Our income was over what we expected and our expenditures were under budget.

- WAS told the website has been updated with current personnel, minutes and other information.

- DECLINED a hearing for an alcohol permit for Chadwick’s Investments new restaurant in town.

- HEARD that the pine tree was stolen from in front of village hall again.

- LEARNED that the street department has taken down and put away the Christmas decorations.

- ANNOUNCED the next meeting will be held on Wednesday, Jan. 23 at 7 p.m. due to Martin Luther King Day falling on the regular meeting night.

Commissioners still deciding how to proceed with clock tower

By NANCY SCHAAR FPS Correspondent Carroll County Commissioners are still trying to decide what is best for the taxpayers’ dollars regarding repairs to the courthouse clock tower.

For many years, funds were not available in the county budget to make needed repairs to the tower. But after so many years of patches and patching, it has reached a point that it either needs to be completely restored or removed.

The clock tower is a true landmark of the county. The cost to make all the needed repairs

to the tower is estimated to be $1.2 million. Commissioners received a breakdown of those costs in order to do the project in two phases.

The largest expense in each phase is the high cost of renting the equipment, such as cranes and lifts to enable workers to safely reach the top floors of the tower to make the repairs.

It was estimated that in each phase it would cost about $250,000 to $300,000 to pay for the rental equipment.

Ohler stated that if the project is completed at one time, instead of two phases, it would save taxpayers $250,000 to $300,000.

Finding funds in the county budget to cover the $1.2 estimate is proving difficult. Ohler said they could get a zero interest loan from the United States Department of Agriculture.

“We can’t kick this can down the road any further. There were years when there wasn’t any money to do a big project. But it’s reached a point where it has to be done,” said Wirkner.

Financing through bonds was briefly discussed but commissioners did not want to encumber future commissioners with a debt like that.

Commissioners will continue to study options for funding of the project.

CCAPL installs its 2019 Elections board health benefits officers, board of directors are a question for prosecutor

By NANCY SCHAAR FPS Correspondent Carroll County Commissioners once again had a lengthy discussion regarding health benefits for the spouses of Board of Election members.

The issue was brought up a few weeks ago when Vicki Reed, Director of the Board of Elections, told commissioners that their board had decided to offer health benefits to the spouses of the Board of Election members.

Commissioners told Reed and Assistant Director Amanda Tubaugh that was not permitted without commissioner’s consent because the funds for that

would come from the general fund.

Commissioner Jeff Ohler said that only full time county employees are offered health benefits and the Board of Election members are all part time employees or officers of the county.

Wirkner continued to say that if health benefits were offered to one group of part time employees, then it must be offered to all part time employees.

“The general fund can’t afford that kind of expense,” said Wirkner. Wirkner continued to say that the Attorney General’s opinion on this issue from July simply states that counties “may” offer health benefits to spouses of part time employees or officers but that it is not re-

quired.

Following more discussion, commissioners agreed to offer health benefits to the spouses of the current Board of Election members. But this will apply only to the member’s current term. When their current term expires, spouse health benefits will cease when the term is over.

Commissioners agreed to send the issue to the county prosecutor for his review before the insurance offer is made official.

Ohler agreed and said that they can continue to get the coverage they are getting now.

Vehicle titles to change Beginning in January 2019, the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles in collaboration with county Clerk of Courts title offices, will implement a new Ohio Certificate of Title, according to Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicle (BMV) officials.

In addition to the change in size, the appearance of the front and back of the title has been modified to better accommodate new fields and security features, as well as provide more clarity to the user.

During the phased implementation period, a customer requesting a motor vehicle title

from a Clerk of Courts title office will receive the current title (2016 version) or the new title (2019 version), depending on whether or not that county has converted to the new title.

Customers do not need to replace their current title with the new title.

All previously issued, valid versions of the Ohio Certificate of Title may still be used to sell/ transfer/register motor vehicles.

All title issuance processes will remain the same, Ohio BMV officials said.

Clarification In the Dec. 27 issue, the article regarding Run for Rosie’s donation to the Carroll County Caring Hands should have stated Rosie’s mother, Linda Moreland, decided to make the donations for her birthday, not Rosie’s.

Also the banner text was accidentally cut off. The banner reads: “I’m honest. I can’t make up my mind. I dwell on things.

I have a hard time letting go.

I have not mastered forgiving

AND forgetting. I gossip. I try to not show my emotions, but really you can tell. I am a nerd.

And, I try to do what makes me the happiest. I have adrenal CANCER, and it has changed me and my outlooks on life – so deal with it – I believe in GOD. I believe everything happens for a reason. I sing like a Rockstar, but can’t hit a note. And if I need to – I will tell you the truth, whether it hurts or not.”

Guest Column - Thank Your School Board Member Today

By DR. DAVID QUATTROCHI

Carrollton Schools Superintendent School board members exemplify local citizen control and decision-making in education.

They volunteer hundreds of hours and an immeasurable amount of energy to assure that our schools are providing the best education possible for the children of our community.

Here are some reasons we are taking this opportunity to show them our appreciation during School Board Recognition Month in January.

School board members are citizens whose decisions affect our children — what they learn, who will teach them and what kinds of facilities house their classrooms.

These are men and women elected to establish the policies that provide the framework for our public schools. They represent you, and they take this responsibility seriously by attending lengthy — sometimes challenging — meetings, conferences and institutes where they broaden their knowledge about education; during numerous conversations about the schools; and sessions before the Ohio General Assembly.

Our school board is one of more than 700 school boards across the state. These boards

enable us to have local control of public schools, meaning that decisions on school programming are made by local, elected representatives who understand the community’s unique problems, who represent us.

It’s a tradition that began nearly 300 years ago. With the advice and counsel of the educational professionals they hire, our school board has an impact on virtually every aspect of our schools. It’s a huge responsibility and one that should not be taken lightly.

Too often we neglect to recognize the dedication and hard work of these men and women.

Please take a moment to tell a school board member “Thanks for caring about our children’s education.”

So, hats off to the dedicated men and women who make it possible for local citizens to have a say about education in our communities.

We salute the public servants of the Carrollton Exempted Village school district whose dedication and civic responsibility make local control of public schools in our community possible. We applaud them for their vision and their voice to help shape a better tomorrow.

Lest We Forget

By CAPT. CHARLES PEARSON

U.S. Marine Corps, ret.

In World War I, during the fighting in the Argonne Forest in France in 1918, one American battalion got caught deep behind enemy lines.

They were having a lot of trouble staying hidden from the Germany army. However, their troubles really began when started being shelled by American artillery. The Allied forces doing the shooting had no idea that they were shelling their own troops.

The American battalion had to send a message to the Allied troops to stop their fire as quickly as possible. There were no telegraph wires anywhere near them. It was too dangerous to send a runner, beside the fact it was more than 25 miles to headquarters. The American battalion used an unusual messenger – a carrier pigeon.

A message was placed in a tiny capsule and then attached to the bird’s leg. These pigeons were trained to fly back to their

home, and in this case that was more than 25 miles away, at temporary headquarters.

Five of the birds were released, but the Germans shot them down. Finally, the battalion was down to their last hope – a bluish gray bird named Cher Ami, which is French for “dear friend.” As it turned out, she certainly proved to be just that.

Cher Ami got through the lines, and flew over 25 miles in less than a half of an hour. She was badly wounded during her flight.

One eye was gone, a leg was shattered, and she had been hit in the breastbone. Nevertheless, Cher Ami delivered her message and the shelling stopped, possibly saving the lives of many of our own men. Cher Ami was considered the war’s bravest bird.

We must never forget all of our brave troops who risk their lives on our behalf. Please keep them and their families in your prayers.

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

Sherry’s Book Corner Hi kids! Happy New Year to you! I have some thrilling novels planned for you in the future, but for this month I thought it would be fun to feature a couple of picture books.

I myself love picture books. They are fun and full of color... unless the illustrations are done in black and white!

This book is FULL of color! And... it is a very interesting story. Who would have ever thought of making soup out of a cactus?

From the author’s note, the story of “Stone Soup” or “Nail Soup” appears in cultures around the world. He chose to set this version in the time of the Mexican Revolution. It lasted from 1919 to 1922.

The common people of Mexico struggled to take back political and economic power from the wealthy classes and foreign business interests that controlled most of the country.

The author Eric A. Kimmel is also well known for his Caldecott Honor Book, Hershel and the Hanukkah Goblins. He visits schools across the United States, sharing tales and strumming his

Until next time, why not make your own pot of cactus soup!

Children’s Book: Title: Cactus Soup By: Eric A. Kimmel Pictures by: Phil Huling Publisher: Marshall Cavendish Price: $16.95 Age group: 8-adult Available at the Carroll County District Library When a troop of soldiers ride into the town of San Miguel everything changes. When the captain of the troop asked the mayor for some cactus soup everyone in the plaza heard the mayor exclaim, “What is cactus soup?” They were told to bring the captain a kettle of water, plenty of firewood, a stirring spoon, and one cactus thorn.

Soon everyone in town was making a pot of cactus soup. Rich in color and characters, once you read this story, you will want to make your own cactus soup.

SPORTS Carrollton wins battle of the Warriors over West Branch 65-60 Thursday, January 10, 2018 P. 6

fpssports44615@yahoo.com

Chaney scores 25 points for the Warriors in conference win

By CHRIS MODRANSKI

Sports Writer

CARROLLTON - The Carrollton Warriors basketball team ended 2018 with a big victory over the visiting West Branch Warriors in an Eastern Buckeye Conference showdown with a final score of 65 to 60.

The Warriors fast start proved to be enough despite a late surge from West Branch. The game started a little bizarre as the visitors bench was assessed a technical foul prior to start of the game. The foul came after a West Branch player took his jersey off to put an undershirt on while seated on the bench. Ohio High School Athletic Association rules require players to dress or undress inside their locker room.

Carrollton’s Adam Chaney made the first two free throws and Carrollton took possession of the ball to start the game, there was no tipoff. Carrollton dropped 20 more points including a crowd energizing three-pointer at the buzzer by Trevor Boggess to end the first quarter, giving Carrollton a 22-17 lead after the first frame.

Carrollton’s second quarter was just as impressive as the first as the team connected on six shots for 14 points while holding their contenders to four baskets and two free throws for 11 points. Carrollton took an eight point lead into halftime with a score of 36 to 28.

The third quarter was pretty even as Carrollton added 13 points while going six for 13 from the floor and one for two from the charity line. West Branch

collected 14 points while taking 15 shots during the frame. Carrollton took a 49 to 42 advantage into the final frame.

Carrollton added five points from the charity line in the final period which

was the difference in the game as they hung on to win 65 to 60.

Carrollton’s Chaney was feeling dangerous as he collected a doubledouble and led all scorers with a season high 25 points and 11 rebounds. Brady

Brenner had 12 points and seven rebounds while Drue Moore finished with 10 points and seven assists.

The Junior Varsity team was also victorious with a 40-35 final score.

Carrollton improves to 2-8 overall

and 2-2 in the Eastern Buckeye Conference and will travel to Salem High School Friday for another conference matchup. Junior Varsity action starts at 5:30 PM with Varsity action to follow their conclusion.

Carrollton’s Jaret Lane (white singlet) holds West Branch wrestler in a cradle in Thursday night’s match. Lane won his match by a decision of 8-2.

CARROLLTON - The West Branch Warriors were a tough match for the Carrollton Warriors Thursday night, as they defeated CHS 35-33 on alumni night.

The dual between the two Eastern Buckeye Conference (EBC) teams started at 182 lbs.

West Branch’s Ginnetti defeated Carrollton’s Alex Carrothers by a decision of 5-2.

Jaret Lane tied the dual match at 3-3 with an 8-2 decision over Lawniczak in the 195 lb. match.

West Branch went on to win four of the next five (220, 285, 113 and 120) matches.

Carrollton’s David Woolever picked up a first-period pin against Courtney in the 106 lb. match.

The Warriors’ standout freshmen, Domanick Speelman (126 lbs.), pinned his opponent nearly a minute into their match.

Carrollton junior Robbie Hoopes recorded a first-round pin at 132 lbs.

West Branch sealed the deal winning three of the last five matches.

Ben Pasiuk won by forfeit and Brandon Daniels pinned his opponent with :27 left in the first period of his 170 lb. match.

The Warriors placed second at the Wheeling Park Duals.

The Carrollton Warriors are set to be back in action Thursday, Jan. 10, at home in a tri-match against New Philadelphia and Firestone.

Matches are slated to begin at 5:30.

Carrollton junior Abby Laizure (3) shoots a three-pointer over a Canton South defender. Laizure finished the game with six triples, tying the school record.

The Carrollton Lady Warriors hosted the Canton South Lady Wildcats this past Saturday for an Eastern Buckeye Conference (EBC) clash.

The Lady Warriors fell in a big hole quickly but came close to climbing out of it by the fourth quarter but the Lady Wildcats were just too much as Carrollton went on to lose 63-43.

The Lady Warriors were only able to connect on one basket in the first quarter and went four-for-six from the foul line.

Carrollton’s six first-quarter points were no match for Canton South’s barrage of baskets as they connected on seven shots and went a perfect four-forfour from the free-throw-line, giving the Lady Wildcats an 18-6 lead after the first quarter.

The Warriors found the basket in the second quarter as Chloe Glass added a pair of baskets and Lucy Pridemore chipped in a pair of points. Abby Laizure hit a big three-pointer. The Lady Warriors slowed the Wildcats down in the second quarter, limiting them to only 10 points. Canton South lead 28-18 at halftime.

The third quarter was much like the second for the Warriors, as Glass added two more baskets and Pridemore chipped in two points but this time Laizure knocked down two huge three point baskets giving the Lady Warriors 13 third quarter points. Laizure finished the game with six threepointers, tying Carrollton’s record for three-pointers made in a game.

Canton South led 41 – 31 going into the final quarter.

Carrollton’s Laizure knocked down another three-point shot to begin the

quarter bringing the lady Warriors within seven points. Despite Laizure connecting on two more three pointers in the fourth quarter, Carrollton wouldn’t get any closer than seven points before the Wildcats turned on the jets to close out the game. The Wildcats made nine shots and went four-for-six from the foul line added 22 points to their total in the fourth quarter.

Laizure led all Warrior scorers with 18 points on six three pointers while Glass finished with 10 points.

The Lady Warriors fall to 2-9 overall and 1-4 in the conference play. The Lady Warriors will host the Louisville Leopards on Saturday in a nonconference matchup. Junior Varsity action gets underway at 12:00 PM with the varsity game to follow.

Carrollton Junior Varsity also fell to Canton South with a final score of 69 to 24.

Huskies, Quakers defeat Lions on the hardwood

By JORDAN MILLER

Sports Editor

FPS Photo | Vanessa Cercone

Minerva’s Brice Williams (12) and Blake Kinsey (34) both fight for a rebound against the Salem Quakers.

MINERVA - The Minerva Lions dropped two games last week, against the Salem Quakers and the Harrison Central Huskies.

The Huskies handed the mighty lions a 66-48 loss.

Brice Williams led the way for Minerva with 21 points and pulled down five boards.

“Brice Williams was his normal 20-point self. He is as steady as you will find and his versatility is unmatched in our league,” said Minerva Coach Shawn Green.

“We have played 10 games, he has seen half a dozen defensive schemes directed at stopping him and he just keeps putting up 20 point efforts every night. He is averaging 19.8 ppg and 8.1 rpg.

He is a special player and an even

better teammate.”

Reece Catlett scored 20 points and recorded three rebounds for Minerva. He also shot 5-7 from beyond the arc.

“Reece Catlett was fantastic tonight. He is really good against aggressive teams and showed that tonight,” Coach Green said. “He made a career high five three pointers and attacked the basket very well.”

As a team, Coach Green was happy with the team’s performance.

“I’m very pleased with the effort tonight, especially after such a tough loss,” he said.

“Harrison is really good. They have one of the best sophomores in the state of Ohio in Kobe Mitchell. We held him to 28.”

Mitchell scored 43 points in a game the week prior and is averaging 25 points a game on

the season.

The Salem Quakers squeaked a one-point win out over the Lions 38-37.

Williams scored 19 points, eight rebounds and a pair of assists in the loss.

“He is not afraid of any part of the game. He carries the load every night for us and does it with a positive attitude,” Green mentioned. “He is really what you would want out of every high school athlete.”

Blake Kinsey added nine points for Minerva.

“Blake Kinsey played a fantastic game tonight. He made threes, defended and rebounded and was one play away from being the hero for us with his put back bucket that gave us a lead at 14.8 seconds,” he said.

Brandon Baumgardner scored

three points, pulled down six rebounds and finished with a pair of assists and steals.

“I love how hard this group competes on game night, but we are learning hard lessons (three one-point losses in four games) about the "little things" like boxing out, or making free throws, or as simple as passing and catching,” Coach Green said. “One possession executed better in each group could have us in first place in the EBC. We literally went from first (with a win tonight) to sixth (with a loss). This league will come down to the last week of the season and I wouldn’t be surprised if every team still has a chance to win it at that point.”

The Lions will play host to the Marlington Dukes Friday night, Jan 11. JV action is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. Varsity will follow.

Despite the team’s seven-point loss to their rival, Coach Tucci expressed his gratitude for the Hornets’ effort.

The Malvern Hornets also played the Newcomerstown Trojans.

Malvern was victorious with a 89-47 win over the Trojans.

“We faced a Newcomerstown

team that is really struggling. I was proud of the boys for respecting our opponents and the great game of basketball,” Tucci said. “We were very businesslike and played very well together. Derk and Kenneth had great floor games.”

Michael Minor scored a careerhigh 17 points for Malvern and Hutchison added 10.

John Browning recorded 14 points for the Hornets.

“Encouraging problem solving and critical thinking in our students are skills necessary to compete in the real world,” stated Becky Miller, curriculum director for Minerva Local Schools.

“An entrepreneurial mindset,

thinking outside of the box, along with these skills provides opportunities for creating jobs that do not exist yet.”

Two Minerva students, Alex Granat and Matt Sullivan, were awarded $200 cash prize for placing second place with their

English translator application project.

The Minerva students who participated were Halli Ford, Hana Esber, Madison Fessler, Christian Goodin, Alex Granat, Matthew Sullivan and Brendan Bennett.

Malvern man dies in freak accident MARTINS FERRY — A Malvern man died Jan. 4 after a tire flew off a coal truck and smashed through the windshield of the pickup truck he was riding in.

According to the Clairsville Post of the State Highway Patrol, Waldo E. “JR” Stout, 55,

of Malvern, was a passenger in a Dodge pickup truck driven by James A. Murray, 72, of Minerva, that was heading north on state Route 7, near County Road 4 north of Martins Ferry, when a tire came off a Volvo dump truck traveling south.

The tire bounced over the me-

dian barrier striking the cab of the pickup. Stout was killed instantly.

According to the police reports, it is believed the tire that came loose was from the dump truck’s rear axle and was part of a dual-wheel setup.

Troopers report Murray sus-

tained only minor cuts.

The dump truck was driven

by Timothy R. Johnson, 49, of Barnesville. He was not injured.

The Ohio State Highway Patrol was assisted by the Martins Ferry Police Department. The accident remains under investigation.
