Minerva man charged for allegedly abusing dog, Mocha

Monday, Jan. 21, 2019

By KIMBERLY LEWIS FPS Editor

The Minerva man suspected of injuring a two-year-old, mixed-breed dog named Mocha was indicted by the Carroll County Grand Jury Wednesday, Jan. 9.

Quin Markins, 23, last known address Minerva, was indicted on two counts of prohibitions concerning companion animals (Goddard’s Law) with the first charge being a fifth-degree felony for causing serious physical harm to a companion animal.

The second charge was a first-degree misdemeanor for knowingly torturing, tormenting, needlessly mutilating or maiming, cruelly beating, poisoning, needlessly killing or committing an act of cruelty of a companion animal.

Carroll County Sheriff Dale Williams has been investigating the alleged abuse since November when the dog was rescued by Jason Cooke, a Trumbull County dog rescuer.

After learning of Markins’ arrest, Cooke spoke for 25 minutes on Facebook Live about Mocha’s journey and expressing his thanks that her alleged abuser had been charged.

Because of the extent of Mocha’s injuries, she had to be euthanized. The medical report stated Mocha had multiple fractures and had suffered injuries to the legs and other areas of the body as well. The dog had a fracture to the elbow joint and previous pelvic fractures too.

The report also recorded that the dog had numerous rib fractures prior to this incident.

The veterainarian who examined her found she had both new and “chronic” injuries that would have affected her

Mocha, a two-year-old mixed breed dog, was euthanized in November after being allegedly abused by a Minerva man. The suspect, Quin Markins, was indicted by the Carroll County Grand Jury Jan. 9 on two counts of prohibitions concerning companion animals, also known as Goddard’s Law.

quality of life.

Cooke bought Mocha a cheeseburger before she was euthanized. “I consider her my dog,” he said at the time. “Even though she was only in my life for less than 24 hours.”

“She was surrounded by love, possibly for the first time in her life,” he said.

Markins has been housed in the Car-

roll County Jail since Dec. 28 when deputies picked him up in Minerva.

He also has an outstanding warrant out of Massillon Municipal Court.

“I’m not going to put up with people beating animals or, in this case, needing them to be put down (because of abuse). I will treat these cases as criminal,” said Williams.

Carroll County residents who are currently receiving Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) or food assistance benefits, will be receiving their February benefits early due to the federal shutdown, according to Kate Offenberger, director of the Carroll County Job and Family Services.

Those customers who receive recurring food assistance benefits will most likely receive their February benefit sometime between Jan. 16 through Jan. 20, Offenberger said.

Recurring benefit households will not receive food assistance benefits again until their March issuance date, assuming the shutdown has been resolved. It will be critical that customers plan accordingly and budget their food assistance to last until their March issuance date, she added.

Those residents who are in the process of applying for food assistance or are recertifying their case are encouraged to submit their interim reports and supply verifications by Jan. 20 so the agency staff can process the cases for the February benefits to be issued.

Offenberger said applications and cases will be processed throughout the shutdown, but it is uncertain when benefits will be issued for cases not approved by Jan. 20. Currently there is no funding for SNAP benefits past February, she explained.

There are currently 1,227 Carroll County households receiving SNAP benefits. Director Offenberger stated that staff will be authorized to work overtime to process as many cases and applications as possible so that customers receive their February benefits.

It is critical that customers provide their verifications and interim reports as soon as possible. At this time, no other local JFS program is being affected by the federal shutdown, Offenberger explained.

She said the agency will notify the local food pantries about the current impact of the federal shutdown on SNAP benefits as it is most likely there will be an increase need for assistance.

Customers with questions should call the customer service line at 844-6406446.

Man who led police on three-county chase among grand jury indictments Enjoy Coffee with the FPS Editor this Friday

A former Sherrodsville man who now has a Tallmadge address has been indicted by the Carroll County grand jury after eluding police following an attempted traffic stop in Carrollton and leading law enforcement officers on a 50-mile, three-county chase before being apprehended in Summit County.

TRISTAN M. SHEPHERD, 23, of 600 Wing Dr., Tallmadge, formerly of 2000 Taft St., Sherrodsville, is facing a Jan. 9 indictment charging him with one count of failure to comply with an order or signal of a police officer, a 3rd degree felony, and one count of driving under suspension, a 1st degree misdemeanor.

According to Carroll County Prosecuting Attorney Steven D. Barnett, Carrollton police officers attempted to stop Shepherd’s vehicle Dec. 19, 2018, on Canton Rd. for a moving violation.

Barnett said Shepherd allegedly failed to stop and a lengthy pursuit ensued west through Carroll County and into Stark County, where stop sticks were deployed in an attempt to stop Shepherd’s vehicle.

“The pursuit continued on US Rt. 30, then north on I-77 through Canton, ultimately terminating north of the Akron-Canton Airport where multiple law enforcement agencies were able to stop the vehicle and take Shepherd into custody,” Barnett said.

The Prosecutor noted a state trooper was injured in an attempt to stop Shepherd’s vehicle in the Canton area.

Subsequent to his arrest, investigators determined Shepherd allegedly did not have a drivers license, Barnett added.

Charges against Shepherd in Stark County are also pending, including assault on a peace officer, failure to comply with an or order or signal of a police officer and felony driving under the influence, the Prosecutor said.

Shepherd is being held in the Carroll County jail on a $500,000 cash or surety bond with a 10% feature.

During the all-day grand jury session, 14 other individuals were indicted, including a Minerva area man for animal cruelty and seven related to drug violations.

Remember to recycle your Christmas tree If you bought a live Christmas tree there are many environmentally friendly uses for your tree.

Tom Butch, community outreach specialist for the Carroll – Columbiana – Harrison Solid Waste District announced that Christmas trees will still be accepted through January 31.

There are five drop off points where county residents may leave their Christmas Trees. They are at the fairgrounds in Carrollton, Ohio Street in Dellroy, Lake Mohawk at the Maintenance Garage Parking Lot, the village park at Malvern, and the village building at Leesville.

These trees can be used as a resting place or shelter for birds and animals in your back yard. You can also place

trees in ponds or lakes to act as a fish habitat. But they must have weights attached to weigh them down and to keep them from floating. Cinder blocks could be used. They can also be used to stop erosion washouts.

Each available site will be posted with a sign saying “Recycle Your Live Christmas Tree Here”. Trees will be chipped or used for habitat. Trees will not be accepted if they are wrapped in plastic, plastic bags, or have tinsel or ornaments.

Butch asks that residents remember to recycle wrapping paper and boxes from Christmas too.

According to Prosecutor Barnett, Lumley’s position is part-time and he will be allowed to continue to maintain a private legal practice so long as there are no conflicts with any criminal cases.

Lumley is the son of Jeff Lumley and Diana Locke, both of Carrollton, and is a 2005 graduate of Carrollton High School.

“I think it’s really great to have someone in the office who returns to their hometown and dedicates himself to public service,” Barnett noted.

Lumley and his wife reside in Carrollton. He is a member of Carroll Lodge 124 F. & A.M. and the Carrollton Civic Club and serves on the board of governors of the Carroll County Foundation.

He joins Chief Assistant Prosecutor Michael J. Roth and Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Sean R.H. Smith and administrative professionals Jennifer Schlemmer and Trista Elifritz as Prosecutor Barnett’s staff.

Commissioners say no to health benefits to elections board, spouses

By NANCY SCHAAR FPS Correspondent

After receiving clarification from Carroll County Prosecutor Steven Barnett, health insurance benefits for members of the Board of Elections were again discussed by the Board of Commissioners during last week’s meetings.

Tension between the boards has been simmering since the Board of Elections voted in September, 2017, to pay the director, deputy director and front-office staff for a 40-hour work week, beginning Jan. 1, 2018.

In December, 2018, the Board of Elections approved a resolution to extend health insurance coverage to board members’ spouses. Board members, who are considered to be part-time “officers,” have had the option of enrolling in the county health plan under an agreement dating back to 1982. Spousal coverage has been available only to fulltime employees. When the resolution came to their attention, the commissioners made it clear they would not approve the added draw on the General Fund to cover members’ spouses.

Additionally, the commissioners have advised the Board of Elections that they will not continue to fund the 40-hour work week, when the standard is 35 hours.

With the Election Board’s refusal to rescind the December resolution, commissioners sent the issue to the county prosecutor for a final decision regarding benefits for part-time employees and whether the pay raise could continue.

County Prosecutor Barnett stated in a lengthy response that neither the pay raise nor expanded health benefits were in compliance with laws restricting changes in in-term compensation.

Commissioners advised the Board of Elections that the pay raise cannot be given, and have voted to discontinue health insurance coverage at the conclusion of the terms of board mem-

bers who are currently enrolled in the county plan.

“We’re not attempting to cast the officers in a bad light; they just got in the wrong lane. The General Fund is the responsibility of commissioners for the taxpayers and it has to be voted upon by this board,” said Commissioner Robert Wirkner.

A public hearing was held to discuss the vacating of Breezewood Drive. The request had been made, commissioners viewed the property in question, and all agreed to vacate Breezewood Drive in Loudon Township.

The resolution does stipulate that vacating is dependent on the final decision of County Engineer Brian Wise.

Eight residents and two to township trustees were in attendance and all were in favor of vacating the undeveloped road.

“It was put on the platt map in the 1940’s but was never a road,” said resident Spencer Bendle.

Commissioners made numerous appointments to various county and government boards.

They were: Wirkner to County Commissioners Association of Ohio with Mickley as alternate, Wirkner to the 911 Committee, the Techinical Advisory Committee, to the Board of Governors of the Carroll County Foundation through 2021, to Justice County Commissioners Association, to the Ohio Public Works Commission, Carroll Columbiana Harrison Environmental Policy Board.

Ohler was appointed to Correctional Planning Board, to the Public Defenders Commission, the Law Library Research Board and to OMEGA Executive Board, Transit Appeals Committee. Mickley was appointed to the Employee Benefits Committee and the Harcatus Board.

All three commissioners will serve on the Community Development Client Complaint Review Committee and the OMEGA membership Board.

In other business, commissioners: - SET termination between the county and the county volunteer

While en route, deputies found a vehicle matching the description of the vehicle seen leaving the home, whereupon Thurman was taken into custody.

During the course of the investigation, deputies determined Thurman’s driver’s license was suspended and the vehicle’s license plate did not match the vehicle. Thurman was also allegedly found in possession of a pipe believed to be used to administer illegal drugs.

The 15 indictments were returned by the grand jury after hearing testimony from 14 witnesses.

Prosecutor Barnett also said that the Grand Jury inspected the Carroll County jail and in a written report filed with the Clerk of Courts, noted no violations of applicable state laws and regulations.

Barnett also indicated that some arraignments will be held before Judge Michael V. Repella II in the Carroll County Court of Common Pleas this Thursday, Jan. 17, 2019, beginning at 8:30 a.m., while others will be arraigned by visiting Judge Richard D. Reinbold, Jr. at his call.

Scio man caught urinating in front of courthouse

By CHRIS MODRANSKI

FPS Correspondent A Scio resident is facing additional charges after returning to the Carroll County Jail from a two-hour furlough.

Brandon Penner of 8201 Chalon Road has been charged with one count of public indecency, a fourth-degree misdemeanor, following an incident outside of the Carroll County Courthouse.

Upon returning to the Carroll County Jail at the end of his two-hour leave of absence, Penner was indulging on one last cigarette before heading back inside when nature called. A county employee observed Penner urinating next to the electrical service boxes approximately 25 feet to the west of the main entrance into the courthouse. The employee notified the Courthouse Security Officer of the incident and Penner was immediately

questioned and escorted back to jail by the jail commander.

Penner, who is currently incarcerated for failure to appear on a child support case, was granted the two-hour furlough for Friday, Jan. 11 by Probate-Juvenile Court Judge John S. Campbell.

The new charges were filed in Carroll County Municipal Court and will be heard by Judge Gary Willen. Courthouse security footage was obtained of the incident.

Airport ready to continue perimeter fence project

By NANCY SCHAAR FPS Correspondent Engineering Consultant Lane Wanamaker reported to the Airport Authority Board recently that he is moving forward with paperwork to request a grant that will enable the next phase of the fencing project at the county airport to be completed.

A grant provided a perimeter fence around a large portion of the airport property and runway last year, as required by the Federal Aviation Administration.

The next phase of the project will continue the fence for another 7,200 feet. A decision yet to be made by the board will be to determine if the restaurant will be inside or outside of the next section of fence. Wanamaker said this phase would cover the whole east side of the property.

“The next phase will have to include filling in a wetland area and working with the Army Corps of Engineers,” said Wanamaker.

In other business the board: - SET a special meeting of the airport board for Monday, Feb. 11, at the Microtel on Canton

Lest We Forget

By CAPT. CHARLES PEARSON

U.S. Marine Corps, ret.

World War I began in 1914, but the United States tried to stay neutral.

Even after a German submarine torpedoed the Lusitania passenger ship killing 128 Americans, President Wilson thought the United States would not enter the war. The British intercepted a German message to Mexico in January, 1917, that helped persuade the United States to enter the war.

The message indicated that Germany had approached Mexico for an alliance in case of war with the United States.

As payment, Germany promised to help Mexico recover the land it ceded to the United States after the Mexican War. On April 6, 1917, the United States declared war on Germany and our first troops landed in France on June 26, 1917.

Even though the U.S. participation in the war was brief, our fresh troops brought new life to the battle weary troops of our allies and soon brought the war to a favorable end.

A group of 20 United States officers met in Paris, France, in February 1919 to organize a committee to select several hundred officers who had the

confidence and respect of the whole army to form a new veteran’s organization called the American Legion. Those 20 officers did their work so well that when the first organizational meeting took place in Paris in March 1919 about 1,000 officers and enlisted men attended.

They then named a subcommittee that went to the states to organize veterans at home and the American Legion grew rapidly.

World War I was also a catalyst for membership in the Veterans of Foreign War’s organization.

Their membership increased more than 200,000. Captain Harry S. Truman came home and joined the VFW Post 35 in Kansas City, Mo., which no longer exists. Both the VFW and the American Legion were the first to care for those who came home maimed from the war.

We should all be thankful for all those who served in and with our Armed Forces. Many never returned from war and many who did were and are maimed for life. Let us all extend our heartfelt gratitude for their loyal and faithful services performed in safeguarding our liberty. Please keep them in your prayers.

Sherry’s Book Corner Hello everyone! Now that the holidays are over until spring and summer arrives, I thought you would have more time to read all kinds of books!

When you think about reading, there are so many choices to explore. Fiction, nonfiction, autobiography, self-help, business, travel.... I could go on and on but I won’t! I found this book about hope very interesting. The author, Allison Carmen, is an active blogger and speaker. She lives in New York City. Why not check her out at AllisonCarmen.com.

Most of you know I love to collect quotes and these two from this book will be added to my collection.

J o s e p h Campbell wrote, “We must be willing to let go of the life we have planned, so as to accept the life that is waiting for us.” And Martin Luther King Jr. wrote, “Everything that is done in the world is done by hope.”

When we look around us it seems like our world rotates around confusion. So, I thought a book about hope was just what we all needed to get us

By Sherry Kline Bolitho

on the right track for the new year!

Until next time, be as hopeful as you can be!

Adult Book: Title: The Gift of Maybe Finding Hope and Possibility in Uncertain Times Written by: Allison Carmen Publisher: A Perigee Book/Penguin Price: $15.00 Available at the Carroll County District Library Allison Carmen spent many years fighting a powerful addiction. She always felt anxious and afraid. The gift of «Maybe» can be a life savor.

When we recognize the maybe in everything, we understand that no matter what a situation looks like, things will definitely change.

The reason the mindset of maybe works is that it continuously offers us more than one possibility.

When a person has choices, they feel free to make decisions for themselves which makes for a happier and secure person.

We all need to feel secure. That is how it should be.

It is the story of Walter, a shy boy whose mother leaves him for the summer with his eccentric grand-uncles. It is rumored the uncles are rich and she wants Walter to find their money.

Walter isn’t happy about being left with old men, while the

uncles aren’t pleased to be stuck minding a boy. When Walter hears gossip about his uncles’ wild and wooly pasts, he begins asking questions, and while the old guys don’t enjoy having the boy poking into their pasts, as they start telling tales of their youthful adventures, they find themselves itching for some new adventures.

Film critic Roger Ebert wrote: “This is about the uncles every boy should have, and the summer every boy should spend.”

New Year, BETTER YOU! Understanding depression, its triggers and symptoms

Submitted Photo

Area residents enjoyed making a snowman as the January craft at the Carrollton Friendship Center recently. Showing off their snowmen are (front, from left) Rose Weiss, Sue Cashon, Ursula Lincoln, Amy Harkless, Carol Walker and Aneissa Randal; and (back) Sandy Ady, Doris Logan, Rose Marie Matejka, Mary Ellen Richards, Evelyn Parrish, Glenda Miller, Carol Lee Kopacs, Diane Donnely, Gene Fankhauser, and Elaine Myers (hidden by her craft).

Activities keep seniors busy at Carrollton Friendship Center Socialization is important to your health and the Carrollton Friendship Center provides an opportunity for senior citizens to keep busy.

According to Carroll County Council on Aging Director Tonya Myers, the Carrollton Friendship Center provides more than meals, but provides a variety of activities like exercise (tai chi, Balance Matters and Golden Sneakers), card games, line dancing, and a lending library.

Myers noted the center recently received two mini grants. The first was $2,500 from the Ashton Preservation Foundation to be used for crafts and activities.

“We are so thankful to have been awarded this grant as our

monthly craft attendance has grown so much, this grant allows us to offer our crafts to our seniors with no cost,” she said.

The crafts and supplies are bought locally at Ashton’s 5and 10-Cent Store, Dollar Tree and Dollar General Market.

Aneissa Randal, the center’s utility worker, organizes and teaches the crafts.

The second grant was a $3,000 grant from AAA9 for Congregate Sites (in-house dining at Carrollton, Malvern and Sherrodsville), which was used to purchase new roaster pans, new travel coolers to transport to sites, new soup kettles for dineand-dash events, new tables, 24 new arm chairs, new pitchers for serving drinks, and more.

“This grant was a blessing to us as our numbers are increasing and this will allow us to serve even more people in 2019,” said Myers.

Senior citizens are also able to enjoy movie days twice a month on a new 70-inch television.

The television was purchased with funds raised by a quilt raffle from Roberta Eckley and Wanda Cummings, which generated more than $500, and a private donation of $200. New releases are shown on the second Friday of the month, while oldies, family or Christian movies are featured on the fourth Tuesday.

“We are so blessed that our community voted yes for the Friendship-Senior Center levy,” said Myers. “Our services are provided in part by the Ohio Department of Aging through Area Agency on Aging Region 9, Carroll County tax levy and generous donations from businesses, community clubs, and the giving residents of Carroll County.”

Many people periodically have bad days when they just seem to be in a bad mood. When a bad mood is not short-lived, this might be a potential indicator of depression.

Depression is a common mental disorder that, according to the World Health Organization, affects more than 300 million people across the globe. The WHO notes that despite the fact that there are known and highly effective treatments for depression, fewer than half of those suffering from depression receive such treatments. Furthermore, in many countries, fewer than 10 percent of people with depression receive treatment.

Learning about depression and how to recognize its symptoms may compel people battling it to seek treatment for this very common and treatable disorder.

Why do I have depression?

Everyone has a bad day here or there, but people with depression may wonder why theirs are more than just a bad day. The WHO notes that depression is a byproduct of a complex interaction of social, psychological and biological factors. Exposure to adverse life events, such as unemployment, the death of a loved one or psychological trauma, can increase peoples’ risk of developing depression.

Depression also may be caused by physical conditions. The WHO says cardiovascular disease can lead to depression.

What are the symptoms of depression?

The Mayo Clinic notes that one in 10 people whose depression goes untreated commit suicide. That only highlights the importance of recognizing the symptoms of depression and acting once any have been identified or suspected. Symptoms can include: • Difficulty concentrating, remembering details and making decisions • Fatigue • Feelings of guilt, worthless-

The WHO notes there are a variety of treatments available to people who have been diagnosed with depression, and doctors will determine which might be the best for each patient. To make that determination, doctors may inquire about the duration and severity of symptoms as well as family history and whether or not the patient has a history of drug or alcohol abuse.

Depression is a common mental disorder that too often goes undiagnosed. Seeking help the moment symptoms are detected or suspected can help people overcome the disorder.

New Year, BETTER YOU! Elevated Services’ staff learn healthy strategies for work Sanitize the cellphone The most germ-addled item in your home may not be the toilet or the kitchen sponge.

Mobile phones pick up bacteria wherever they go. In addition, users touch their phones an average of 47 times a day, according to the national average determined by a Deloitte research survey, introducing new contaminants to the device each time they do so.

Researchers at the University of Arizona found that cell phones carry 10 times more bacteria than many toilet seats, and there may be as many as 17,000 bacterial gene copies on the average high-schooler’s phone.

While cell phone safety often focuses on protecting data, smartphone users also should consider keeping their phones clean to remove the potentially harmful microbes that accumulate on phones every day.

Avoid excess moisture when cleaning cell phones, advises the home and lifestyle experts at The Spruce as moisture can damage internal components.

Most cell phone screens have an oleophobic coating that repels oils from hands and fingers.

Harsh cleansers or abrasive materials on the glass can prematurely remove this coating and/ or scratch the surface.

While you clean at your own risk, many tech experts suggest a spray mixture of distilled water and isopropyl alcohol applied to a microfiber cloth to remove surface contaminants.

Don’t directly wet the phone.

There also are pre-packaged cleansers sold for electronics usage. Invest in an antimicrobial cover to provide an added layer of protection for the phone.

Other ways to keep a phone clean are to wash your hands before use and to try to keep the phone away from areas that may be vulnerable to germs, such as bathrooms.

Prompted by its customer’s environmental safety and health policy on pre-work stretch-and-flex as a warm-up activity before starting the workday, Elevated Services, LLC’s owners Nicole and Aaron Paulette partnered with Colton Newell, co-owner of All-In Training, to teach their employees stretching and flexing strategies on Jan. 7.

Elevated Services, LLC is a Carrollton-based telecommunications tower company, and its employees are faced with physically-intensive labor when they climb towers to perform work at heights.

Newell helped employees to identify warm-up activities and stretches that will help them prepare for the work day. He also introduced them to recovery techniques they can use at the end of the day.

Those participating in the training with Colton Newell are (front, from left) Oualid Benabderrahman; (middle row) Nicole Paulette, Zachary Strine and Keith Thomas; and (back) Aaron Paulette, Nick Trussell, Danny Riggs, Joe Brooks and Donny Riggs.

History

The site of the present County Home was purchased for $13,600 on July 6, 1867. An additional tract was acquired making a total of 365 acres, some of which has since been sold.

The original building was built in 1937 with county funds and opened April 1, 1938, under the management of the Carroll County Commissioners. A bond issue enabled the county to renovate the original facility and a new building was completed in 1954, naming it the Carroll Golden Age Retreat in 1988. As of 1993, the facility has been supported by county tax levies and donations.

New Year, BETTER YOU! Three tips to overcome everyday aches and pains Pain is a significant concern for many people. Estimates from the International Association for the Study of Pain suggest that one in five adults across the globe suffer from pain.

Pain can affect anyone, even people who have not been in an accident or suffered an injury while playing a sport or performing another physical activity. For example, lower back pain, which can be caused by sitting at a desk

for long stretches of time, is the most common type of chronic pain in the United States. Such pain may be unavoidable, but that does not mean it and other types of everyday aches and pains cannot be overcome.

Begin a well-rounded exercise regimen

Regular exercise that includes both strength training and cardiovascular exercise increases blood flow and helps build a

strong core. A strong core supports the spine and reduces the pressure on it, making it less likely people who sit for long stretches at a time will end their days with lower back pain. Routine exercise also helps other areas of the body by keeping muscles loose and flexible.

Before beginning a new exercise regimen, men and women, especially those with existing aches and pains, should consult their physicians about which exercises they should do and which they might want to avoid.

Employ RICE

RICE, which stands for rest, ice, compression, and elevation, can help men and women over-

come the aches and pains that result as the body ages and tendons begin to lose some of their elasticity. RICE might be most helpful for people who have been diagnosed with tendinitis.

Athletes over 40 who engage in activities that require repetitive motion might need to take more days off between rounds of golf or other competitive and/or repetitive activities. If tendinitis flares up, take some time away, icing any sore areas, wrapping them in bandages, and elevating them while resting. Athletes rarely want to sit on the sidelines, but a few days off can go a long way toward alleviating the pain associated with tendinitis.

Age should not prevent you from being physically active, and numerous studies have touted the benefits of continuing to

Recognize your body may develop some limitations

exercise into your golden years.

However, as the body ages, muscle fibers become less dense, resulting in a loss of flexibility that increases the risk of injury and/ or soreness.

As men and women grow older, they shouldn’t abandon activities like gardening or strength training. But they may need to scale back on the intensity with which they perform such activities.

Doing so can prevent the kinds of muscle strains associated with aging.

Pain affects more than one billion people across the globe. But some simple strategies can help people overcome pain and enjoy a rich quality of life.

Flu activity in Ohio is increasing and widespread throughout the state for the first time during this flu season.

The number of flu-associated hospitalizations are also rising with 338 new hospitalizations during the first week of January compared to 166 during the last week of December. There have been 893 total flu-associated hospitalizations in Ohio so far this flu season, which runs from October 2018 to May 2019. The number of flu cases typically peak between December and February.

It is not too late to get a flu shot, and the Ohio Department of Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend that everyone six months old and older get one as the best protection against seasonable flu viruses.

It takes about two weeks for a flu shot to take full effect.

“Flu vaccination is the safest and most effective way to prevent the flu which can lead to missed work and school, and cause other serious health complications,” said ODH Medical Director Dr. Clint Koenig.

“Pregnant women, young children and people who already have serious medical conditions are especially at risk for serious complications from the flu.”

Flu symptoms can include fever, cough, sore throat, body

aches, headache, chills and fatigue. Although most people fully recover from the flu, some experience severe illness like pneumonia and respiratory failure, and the flu can sometimes be fatal.

People who think that they may have the flu and are pregnant, have an underlying medical condition, or who are extremely ill should contact their healthcare provider immediately. Flu vaccines are offered by many doctor’s offices, clinics, local health departments, pharmacies and college health centers, as well as by many employers and some schools.

While vaccination provides the greatest protection against the flu, other effective ways to avoid getting or spreading it include: washing your hands frequently or using alcohol-based hand sanitizer; covering coughs and sneezes with tissues, or coughing or sneezing into your elbow; avoiding touching your eyes, nose and mouth; and staying home when sick and until fever-free for 24 hours without using fever-reducing medication.

Flu-associated hospitalizations in Ohio are tracking below the five-year average so far during this flu season. More information about flu and flu activity in Ohio is available at www.flu. ohio.gov.

Carrollton’s Mike Chiurco lands job with Tampa Bay Buccaneers

By JORDAN MILLER

Sports Editor

TAMPA BAY, FL - From water boy at Carrollton High School to defensive

Mike Chiurco

From Arizona to Florida: Chiurco continues to live his dream in the sunshine backs coach with the Arizona Cardinals, Mike Chiurco is continuing his career in the National Football League, this time with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

“I couldn’t be more excited,” Chiurco, a 1988 graduate of Carrollton High School, said. “I’ve known Bruce now for 21 years. Once you become friends with Bruce, you’re friends with him for life.”

At the end of the 2017 regular season, Cardinals’ head coach Bruce Arians announced his retirement from the NFL. As is the case for most assistant coaches in the league, when a new coach is hired, he cleans house; leaving Chiurco without a job.

Chiurco didn’t stay jobless for too long, as he was hired as the head

football coach at Seton Catholic Prep, a local high school where he lives in Arizona.

In an interview with the Free Press Standard in 2016, Chiurco said he was fortunate to coach in the NFL without ever being the head guy at the high school or college level.

“That was so much fun,” said Chiurco. “I wasn’t doing anything else at the time (when they contacted him), I hadn’t found another NFL job at that time and I had never been a head coach.”

In his first year as the head coach of the high school program, he led them to an 8-4 season, including a playoff appearance and first-round win; but all things must come to an end, even if it was just a one-time thing.

“I’m a man of faith, almost a year to the day I was sitting there and I found out I wasn’t going to be retained by the new head coach at Arizona, Steve Wilks,” he said. “I remember sitting there with my wife and thinking ‘what am I going to do,’ and she said ‘just keep the faith, it’s all going to work out.’”

As the case in most marriages, the woman is always right.

Chiurco’s faith continued to stay strong, and his prayer was answered.

Arians enjoyed retirement but he couldn’t stay off the field for long.

After his one-year hiatus, Arians jumped right back in the saddle, being named the head coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

After the hire was official, one of the

first calls Arians made was to Chiruco, telling him he needed him by his side.

“It’s so exciting to be back in the NFL, it’s always been my life-long dream to coach in the National Football League.

It’s a hard thing to accomplish...luckily I’ve got to know the right person.”

Chiurco’s new position with the Buccaneers is assistant to the head coach, and he will also play a role coaching on the offensive side of the ball.

“It will help me be a more wellrounded coach from the stand point of Bruce’s offense,” Chiurco said. “His offenses can be pretty complicated at times, so it will be very beneficial.”

Chiurco’s wife and son will be joining him in Tampa Bay after the school year.

Buckeye Conference (EBC) with the Alliance Aviators. Both Carrollton and Alliance are 4-3 in EBC action this season.

The Warriors picked up wins against the Canton South Wildcats at home, 51-45 and on the road against the

Salem Quakers, 64-56.

CARROLLTON – It was a very competitive matchup when the Warriors hosted the Wildcats last Tuesday but Carrollton dictated the pace of the game which made the Wildcats play out of their comfort

zone. Canton South might have drawn first blood when they connected on a jumper but Carrollton’s Adam Chaney connected on a three pointer right out of the gate. South’s Chris Fontes matched Chaney’s three-pointer but Carrollton’s Brady Benner hit a jumper and Chaney connected from long range following a Canton South miss forcing the visitors to use a timeout to regroup and settle down. Following the timeout South’s Riley James and Myles Martin each connected from beyond the arc to go up 11 – eight with less than two minutes in the first quarter. Carrollton’s Chaney sunk his third triple of the quarter and Drue Moore dropped in a basket. The first quarter ended in a tie at 13 after South’s Riley James connected on two free throws.

The second quarter started with South’s Sean Blackmon on the charity line after missing two shots but picking up the reaching foul. Blackman connected on both free throws. Chaney hit a short jumper and then stole the ball as south was bringing it up court and dished to Carrollton’s Trevor Boggess who laid it in for two more points. Carrollton’s Conner King came up with a huge block as the second quarter was coming to an end which gave the Warriors a two point lead and energized the large crowd going into the intermission. Adam Chaney finished the first half with 15 points in the first half.

Carrollton kept south off of the scoreboard for the first 4:58 of the third quarter as they knocked down nine points during that time. Carrollton’s shooting went dry for 2:48 until Brady Benner on a rafter shaking threepointer with 14 seconds left in the third

quarter to give the home team a 38-34 lead into the final quarter where Adam Chaney found his shot connecting from deep off the left wing. Carrollton was able to put up 13 points in the fourth quarter to give them the win.

Adam Chaney led all scorers with 21 points, Brady Benner contributed 13 points and Trevor Boggess chipped in six points in six minutes.

SALEM – Carrollton traveled to Salem on Friday night to take on the Quakers in an EBC competition.

Carrollton jumped out to an early first quarter lead and scored 20 points while keeping the Quakers to a modest 10 points. In the second quarter Carrollton was able to put up 14 points while keeping Salem contained to 10 points again for a 34-20 advantage at the break.

Salem came out in the 3rd quarter ready to complete as the dropped 20 points and Carrollton was able to add 12 more points to their total in the quarter to give them a 46-40 advantage going into the fourth quarter.

Carrollton survived the fourth quarter push by Salem and was able to best them with an 18-16 score in the final quarter to give them a final score of 6456.

Drue Moore finished the night with a team-high 17 points, eight assists, five rebounds and three steals, Adam Chaney finished with 16 points, five assists, five rebounds and a pair of steals, Andrew Gotschall added 14 points and Jimmy Birong contributed nine points.

The Warriors improve to 4-9 overall and 4-3 in the Eastern Buckeye Conference and will participate in the MLK Classic in North Canton on Saturday.

“The district followed all necessary protocols and assigned the coaches to home, while an investigation by both the district and law enforcement took place,” he stated.

“We take this situation very seriously and our district fully cooperated with the investigations. The matter is now with the prosecutor, and Minerva Local Schools cannot provide further details until it is appropriate to do so,” Chaddock said.

“The Minerva Local School District is fully committed to assuring the safety and care of our students, and that responsibility extends to student participation in our sports programs as well,” he stated.

In Memory In Memory of Daniel (Danny) Strawder, Jr. January 27, 1979 – January 15, 2006 Some believe 13 is a lucky number, others that it is unlucky. For us this year, 13 is an unlucky number. Because this year makes 13 years since you left us here on earth to go be with the Lord. It’s been very difficult for us dealing with losing you. We go through a lot of pain, but the good memories you left behind with us change the sadness to joy. It helps to ease the pain knowing that we can continue doing the things you wanted to do, until they are finished, and make new memories of you to live on.

Then one day, we will be reunited again. Until then, you will always be loved, never forgotten, and remembered by family and friends.

Christian Academy to compete in Bible Quiz Competition

By NANCY SCHAAR FPS Correspondent The Carroll County Christian Academy will participate in the National Bible Quiz Team Competition in March. This event is held in Columbus.

They will also compete in the Buckeye Christian Schools of Ohio fine arts competition later this spring.

Christian schools from all over Ohio will take part in the competition under national guidelines.

The competition in March will have students answering many questions regarding five books of the New Testament. They are Timothy I and II, Thessalonians I and II, and Titus.

“These students also rank high in these competitions,” said advisor, Dr. Stan Anderson. The national events propose ques-

tions to the students on all the books of the Bible from Genesis to Revelation.

Anderson said the students would have the five books of the Bible memorized by the time of the event.

Questions will be asked such as, “What subject is discussed in Timothy I, chapter 4, verse 6?” Students will be asked a variety of questions about these scriptures, according to Anderson.

Southern Local Schools revamped for the new year and named new leaders to helm the board for the coming year.

During an organizational meeting Jan. 9, officials elected Jay Cole as board president and Linda Morris vice president for the duration of 2019. Officials also approved a series of resolutions surrounding district operations and took more action during the regular session that followed.

District Treasurer Greg Sabbato shared some good news, saying plans to repay funding for energy-related upgrades at the school could occur sooner than expected. Sabbato told the board that electricity and natural gas savings totaled more than $137,000 this year and the funds would repay for work through the School Energy Conservation Financing Program over the next seven years.

The board entered into the program in 2016 and worked with H.E.A.T. Total Facility Solutions Inc. on the transition program under H.B. 264, which allows school districts to finance energy efficiency improvement projects and use the cost savings to pay for the improvements. The upgrades must generate enough energy and maintenance savings to pay for the project within 15 years, while there would be no additional expense to taxpayers.

More than 500 Ohio school districts have participated in the program.

H.E.A.T. representatives audited the Southern Local K-12 school building, as well as the administration building, bus garage and noted areas of particular interest, and the district took such steps as replacing bulbs with LED lights, adding light sensors to shut off automatically when a room or hallway is not in use and performing maintenance on the HVAC system.

“We had a light winter, and if we’d had a more severe winter, the savings would be around $172,000,” said Superintendent Thomas Cunningham. “With the savings, the funds could be paid early and any future savings for the district would go into the general fund.”

The board also approved a series of personnel matters, including the resignation of longtime teacher Jody Lockhart who plans to retire at the end of the school year. Lockhart has served the district for 17 years and the board wished her well in her endeavors.

Continuing contracts were also approved for cafeteria workers Cindy Marshall and Monica Plunkett with a oneyear contract granted for bus driver Danielle Berkheimer.

Additionally, maternity leave was approved for teacher Emily

Brinker beginning in February with a return date set for August.

The board further accepted the resignation of bus driver Tiffany Hamilton effective this month; employed paraprofessionals Christine Pitts and Kayla Terdina through the Jefferson County Educational Service Center; named Bob Shansky varsity volleyball coach and Marissa Paxson as junior class advisor; and approved bus driver Tiffany Hamilton and cafeteria/custodian Christina Eltringham on the substitute list.

The board also: - Approved committee appointments with John Sawyer and Cole on finance; Kip Dowling and Mike Abraham on personnel/negotiations; Morris and Sawyer on maintenance/ transportation; Morris and Cole on curriculum/policy; and Abraham and Dowling on athletics/activities.

- Set compensation at $80 per meeting for current board members and $120 per session for recently elected posts and not exceeding 24 meetings annually.

- Agreed to submit the annual tax budget to the county budget commission.

- Established meeting times on the second Wednesday of each month with the next regular session scheduled for Feb. 13 at 6:30 p.m. at the district office.
