By NANCY SCHAAR FPS Correspondent Gary Lee, Jr. appeared before Carroll County Common Pleas Court Judge Michael Repella Thursday, Jan. 16, for his final pre-trial hearing.

Lee was arrested in March 2019 following an undercover operation in which deputies on a school bus and in a vehicle following the bus observed Lee flashing a young girl and children on the school bus.

At first, Lee pled not guilty, but at the end of March 2019, he changed his plea to guilty and waived his constitutional rights. He remained in the county jail for three months on three counts of public indecency.

Continuing with the investigation, sheriff’s deputies confiscated electronic devices that Lee had used, finding two photographs that depicted juveniles appearing to be under the age of ten engaged in sexual activity. The new evidence was presented to the grand jury in October and resulted in five felony indictments.

Indictments include one count of importuning (a 3rd degree felony), stemming from allegations that Lee tried to solicit sex from a child under the age of 13; two counts of pandering sexually-oriented material involving a minor person (both 2nd degree felonies); and two counts of pandering obscenity involving a minor (both 3rd degree felonies).

Lee was scheduled to be released from the Carroll County jail in October but was charged with the new counts be-

opinion pg. 4

fore he could leave the jail lobby and has remained in the county jail awaiting his trial set for January 27.

During Thursday’s pre-trial hearing, Lee’s appointed attorney asked Judge Repella to separate the charges into two trials. Attorney Stephen Kandel requested that charges two, three, four and five be separated from count one so as not to prejudice the jury.

County prosecutor Steven Barnett told Judge Repella that he did not disagree with the proposal to separate the charges.

“Charges two, three, four and five are regarding the photos of minors that are unrelated to the count one charges.

Two, three, four and five are similar,” stated Barnett.

Charge one is importuning, which means persistently seeking participation in sexual conduct. The remaining charges two through five are in regard to the sexually-oriented material involving juveniles found on Lee’s electronic devices.

Repella agreed and said the charges are from different facts and different dates.

Repella scheduled the trial for Jan. 27 in regards to charges 2, 3, 4, and 5. He advised both attorneys that they are to schedule a trial for count one as soon as possible. He also advised that any further motions must be made next week and he will not anticipate any surprises.

Members of the victims’ families were present for Lee’s pre-trial hearing. The trial will begin 8:30 a.m. on Jan. 27 in the Common Pleas Courtroom.

At press time, only two State’s witnesses had been subpoenaed to testify at the trial, which is scheduled for three days.

Perry Township man announces candidacy I would like to introduce myself as Donald Leggett II. Friends and family also know me as Pete Leggett. I am a life long resident of Carroll County and reside in Perry Township with my Life Partner, Becky.

We enjoy spending time with our adult children and grandchildren. In my spare time I enjoy truck pulling, Nascar racing and restoring antique cars.

I am running for the Jan. 3, 2021 Carroll County Commissioners position.

I started my own business 25 years ago as Leggett Auto Service. Within those 25 years I have dealt with multiple customers and businesses in Carroll County.

Currently I employ four employees, including myself. If elected, my employee of 12 years will be handed all responsibilities going forward so I can dedicate my full time to you as your commissioner.

DONALD ‘ PETE’ LEGGETT II being elected trustee for Perry Township for 23 years and still active. As a respected trustee I have helped make major improvements and successfully maintained our township.

If elected I will continue to dedicate my hard work for the residents of Carroll County just as I have done for my township and my business.

Shaw and Palmer appointed to fill vacant seats on Dellroy Council

By JACQUIE HUMPHREY

FPS Correspondent At the January meeting of Dellroy Village Council, Mayor Doug Ruby reported that he had received five letters of interest from residents who are willing to fill the two vacant council seats. Council briefly discussed them prior to proceeding with the items on the agenda.

At the end of the regular business meeting, council went into an executive session to discuss the candidates. Upon reconvening to regular session, council recommended to Mayor Ruby the appointments of William Shaw and Bruce Palmer.

Ruby made these appointments and the oath of office was administered by Solicitor Jenna Hokes.

In other discussion, the position of Clerk was again discussed. Current Clerk Candice Ruby reminded council that her term expires March 31, 2020,

and that no one had ran in the November election.

Ruby had previously suggested that council consider changing the elected position of clerk to that of a hired fiscal officer.

Solicitor Hokes explained to council that most small villages have already made this change.

Council President Joe Ruby inquired as to what the difference the financial obligations of the village would be should council decide to go with a fiscal officer. Hokes advised that there would be no change in the salary, unless council decides to increase this. Hokes further advised that adjusting the salary of a fiscal officer can be done at any time, the salary of an elected clerk can be changed, but only goes into effect after the following election.

Clerk Ruby further advised council that they will also need to consider that she is currently taking care of the Community Building rentals and cleaning, and that a job description will

need to be reviewed. A lengthy discussion took place.

Council unanimously agreed to change the position of clerk to that of fiscal officer. Hokes will prepare the Ordinance for the February meeting.

In other action, council: - Approved 30 purchase orders in the amount of $17,465.95; - Approved 17 checks and two electronic payments totaling $2,924.33; - Heard fund balances reported as followed: $55,722.92 in the General Fund, $14,409.35 in the Street Fund, $2,927.80 in the State Highway Fund and $0.11 in the Fire Protection Fund; - Heard receipts for the Community Building reported at $150; - Accepted a 2012 Edition of the Ohio Basic Code as the governing laws for the Village; - Approved Unified Bank as the Village’s financial institution for 2020; - Set committees for 2020;

U.S. Marine Corps, ret.

The fire you kindle for your enemy often burns yourself more than him. This very situation happened to the British during our Revolutionary War. When the British saw George Washington’s rag tag army of volunteers who had no uniforms, they began to think that it was going to be an easy pushover. They felt superior knowing that they were a welltrained army and they were facing a group of sloppy looking volunteers.

An English Army surgeon, Dr. Richard Schuckburgh, wrote the words of the song ‘Yankee Doodle.’ We all know it – “Yankee Doodle came to town a riding on a pony. He stuck a feather in his hat and called it macaroni.”

No one is certain where the word Yankee came from, but it had been used since the early 1700’s to indicate those in the New Country. The British army assumed that Washington’s rag tag army would only doodle around and not really fight. They also claimed that if they put a feather in their hat it would improve their appearance.

However, I often wondered

why they called them macaroni’s. Well – in the late 1600’s there was a group of young Italians that started a fad of wearing sloppy looking clothes.

Some of the English youth began to copy them and they became known as Macaroni’s.

So you see, the song was written to make fun of and bully Washington’s rag tag army of untrained troops.

What was the reaction of our Revolutionary American soldiers and marines? They followed the advice given in the Bible. Proverbs 16:32 reads, “He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty.” Ephesians 4:26 reads, “Be ye angry but let not the sun go down upon your wrath.” In other words, do not let anger fog your mind lest you stumble.

The Continental soldiers and marines were slow to anger.

In fact, they liked the tune and soon it became their battle song. The British heard it so often during their retreat from Concord that General Gage is said to have exclaimed, “I hope I shall never hear that tune again.” But the British did hear it again. American military bands played it over and over as the British surrendered at Yorktown.

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

Glenn ‘Sunny’ Dye Glenn “Sunny” Dye, 77, passed from this life to answer God’s call to eternity.

You are invited to visitation hours Saturday, Jan. 25 from 11 a.m.1 p.m. at Beacon of Light Church, 8247 Amsterdam Rd. (St. Rt. 164), Amsterdam. Service at 1 p.m. by Mike Thurston. A sit-down lunch will follow.

Letters to the Editor deadline is 5 p.m. Friday. They must be signed with a contact number and town listed.

Obituaries are due by noon on Tuesdays for that week’s paper.

Letter to the Editor Dear Editor: On the morning of Dec. 19, 2019, around 4 a.m., I had a dream that I received a Christmas card in the U.S. Mail with a check for $10,500 from a church or ministry. Then I received a Christmas card that same day in the U.S. Mail from one of my cousins with a $100 check in it.

I told the people in the church I attend on Dec. 22, 2019, about my dream and what I received in the US Mail. I also told them that I had an appointment to take in my van to a local garage to have it checkout for all the noise it has been making when I drive it and if anything needs tightened up again.

After church, my pastor who has been helping me to get to and from Church and helping us with getting medication and groceries for me and Rene because of our vehicle issues also gave me a check for $100.

The next day on Monday, Dec. 23, 2019, I took my van to the garage and they said that the frame in the front was rotted out so bad that it was moving when I drove it.

I called the loan company that was holding the lean on the van and before I had even said anything about my van they told me that they had released the van from the loan so I could get my title.

I check later that Monday at the title office and it took some time, but they got the letter from the loan company and I got the title on Thursday, Dec. 26, 2019.

I called around and filled out a loan application at a local car dealer and they got me into a 2015 KIA. The cost of the vehicle before that tax and interest was $10,500. The same amount of the check that was in my dream.

I know that for some I am preaching to the choir and other people who don’t believe in God is I know this is God. Sincerely, Evangelist Dr. Robert L. McKim, Sr. Carrollton Human Trafficking Awareness January is Human Trafficking Awareness Month. Did you know that the crime of Human Trafficking generates billions of dollars of profit each year? It is the second most profitable transnational crime behind drug trafficking. Human Trafficking occurs when a person uses fraud, force, or coercion to exploit children, women, or men for labor or commercial sex.

Why does Human Trafficking occur in Ohio? Here are five reasons: First, our advanced highway system allows for easy travel through Ohio. Second, to support this highway system, Ohio leads the nation in the number of truck stops. Third, 60 percent of the U.S. population is within an 8 to 10 hour drive from Ohio.

Fourth, the agricultural industry in Ohio relies on the immigrant population. Finally and more locally, Tuscarawas County is within 2 hours of four international airports.

How do you know if someone may be a victim of human trafficking? You should be concerned if you encounter someone who is accompanied by a controlling person; who lacks control over activities, money, or identification; who is transported to and from work or who lives and works in the same place; who is unable to leave a job because of unfair debt; or who is bruised, depressed, fearful, or overly submissive.

If you see something that doesn’t look right, call the National Human Trafficking Hotline at 888-373-7888, text the BeFree line at 233733, or call the Ohio Highway Patrol at #677. For more information locally, check out the Tusc Against Trafficking website at www.TuscAgainstTrafficking.org or like our TuscAgainstTrafficking Facebook page.

Robin Bowdish Regional Human Trafficking Coordinator It’s that time of year. Winter. Cold. Dark. Dreary. Maybe spots of sunshine here and there. Certainly not everywhere. Smoking chimneys warming homes. Families inside. Sitting by the fireplace.

Kitchens are warm with the cooking of food. Oops! Forgot about the fireplace thing. Can’t have a fireplace without having your dog getting warm, or your cat for that matter. Pets are family, right? If we have a shelter, they have shelter. If we have heat, they have heat.

If we eat, they eat.

You know, I think about this time of year. The holidays – presents, giving, receiving, being kind, sharing…shoot (I know shoot isn’t my real word but let’s pretend since it’s been holiday time) shoot.

Everyone shelters their pets, right? Right?

I’m out and about daily. Here and there, back and forth to the store. Make my rounds to my kids’ homes and feed their dogs and get some exercise outside. Head on down to the nursing home with my rescue dog, Macon Jake Roosevelt Vahila. Don’t you just love that name? And yes, I was sober when I named him. I got him from the pound eight years ago. Now he has a job. He and I go down to the Alzheimer’s nursing home in Carrollton to see the boss and Macon Jake Roosevelt Vahila (MJRV) has become a real friend to the residents. They love him and he loves them and they have become friends. Eight years ago MJRV was going to be euthanized at the pound.

Good thing a friend of mine called me and though I may wish to change that. Now we go see other residents in caregiving facilities too.

It’s a new year folks. God had a plan for Macon Jake. I’m hoping that God has a plan for all you readers of this letter and you find it in your hearts that if-if-if you have the time to visit the pound or rescue a stray or keep your eyes open… give a pet a home. Keep your eyes on the road for a wandering puppy. One never knows when one will be seen.

Happy new year!

Pastor’s Pen

The Bible tells us: “Who, being in the very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, He made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled himself by becoming obedient to death – even death on a cross! Therefore God exalted Him to the highest place and gave Him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” Philippians 2:5-11 He willingly gave up his home in heaven to come to the earth in obedience to God the Father and to serve all people and save those who accept his completed work on the cross. He came with a servant’s heart and a servant’s attitude. John 18:37 “You are a king, then!” said Pilot. Jesus answered, “You say that I am a king. In fact, the reason I was born and came into the world is to testify to the truth. Everyone on the side of truth listens to me.” We should also have a servant’s heart. One of the things that we have control over is our attitude. Our circumstances are not always good, sometimes they flat out stink. We are told to be thankful in all things, not for all things. There is a huge difference. The birth of Christ didn’t just happen, it was planned from the beginning. Christ did not give up His deity to become human. He performed no miracles until He was baptized in the Holy Spirit; by the way, that is the same Holy Spirit that we are baptized in. Christ made Himself nothing by taking on the nature of a servant and becoming one hundred percent man, being obedient to death even the horrifying death on the cross.

Mark 10:42-45 “Jesus called them together and said, “You know that those who are regarded as rulers of the gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be slave of all. For even the Son of man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many.” These verses give us the motive for Christ’s ministry and the plan for our salvation. A ransom for many (all) who believe Jesus said, “It is finished.” John 19:30 I Corinthians 2:9-10, 16 However, as it is written: “What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived – the things God has prepared for those who love Him. These are the things God has revealed to us by His spirit. For, “who has known the mind of the Lord so as to instruct Him? But we have the mind of Christ.”

In Loving Memory of Janice �Faye� Worley Heffelbower 2-23-1953 ~ 1-23-2007

Thirteen years ago today, God saw you getting tired, and a cure was not to be.

He put His arms around you, and whispered “Come to Me” With tearful eyes, we watched you, and saw you pass away.

Altough we love you dearly, we could not make you stay.

A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best.

We love and miss you still.

Love, Your Husband, Bernie and Family & Friends

Sherry’s Book Corner Hi kids! When I read this book, I could relate to the young girl in the story. I walked to school too!

I walked with my two friends, Patty and Denise.

When we were in grade school we walked about three miles. Monday through Friday. Whatever the weather, we walked. We just dressed for it!

The author and illustrator of this story also walked to school. He walked with two brothers and four sisters, and they walked a mile.

This story is one of his fondest childhood memories. Years ago, I wrote a short story about one of my fondest childhood memories.

It is about ice skating. The title is “Shimmering Shadows.” I used to skate on a pond near our home under a moonlit sky with my friends after school. Now that I think about it, I may just get this story back out and see what I can do with it.

Carrothers earns fourth-place Top Gun finish for Carrollton Warriors finish 25th out of 51 teams at Alliance HS Top Gun tournament

ALLIANCE - It’s one of the best regular season wrestling tournaments in the country, and it takes place just 40 minutes from Carrollton.

The Top Gun tournament, now in it’s 34th year, was host to more than 50 different teams this year.

Carrollton finished 25th as a team, scoring 60.5 points.

Only three Carrollton wrestlers earned spots on the podium this season.

Carrollton senior Alex Carrothers finished as Carrollton’s top

wrestler with a fourth-place finish at the 170-lb. weight class.

Brody Wade (106 lbs.) and Colby Moore (160 lbs.) both finished eighth in their respective weight classes.

Carrollton junior Brandon Brown won his first three matches of the tournament at 126 lbs., before meeting his match against Alex Vars. Brown lost by pin in the third period.

Brown was out of the tournament when he was forced to forfeit his first consolation match because of an injury.

Sophomore Domanick Speelman had a first-round bye, and won

the second round match (138 lbs.) with a :35 pin. Nic Willingham of Aurora knocked him out of the championship bracket with a second round pin.

Speelman won his first consolation match with a 16-1 tech fall but fell in the second round by pin, eliminating him from the tournament.

The Warriors are set to resume action Thursday, Jan. 23 at Cuyahoga Valley Christian Academy and will wrestle in the West Holmes tournament Saturday, Jan. 25.

Carrollton fights back against Alliance, loses in OT

Carrollton junior Talen Timberlake looks to go up for a shot against Alliance. He finished with two points.

CARROLLTON - Looking to stay at the top of the Eastern Buckeye Conference standings, the Carrollton boys basketball team hosted the Alliance Aviators Jan. 14.

The visiting Aviators scored early and often, building a controlling lead only to have it erased late.

The Warriors put together an 18-2 run in the fourth quarter to take their first lead of the game (39-38), topped off by a steal and layup by CHS senior Jimmy Birong with 3:09 remaining in regulation.

The Warriors defensive pressure in the fourth quarter caused Alliance to turn the ball over 10 times.

With 11.2 remaining in regulation, Carrollton senior Adam Chaney forced his way to the free throw line, sinking a pair of foul shots to tie the game at 41-41.

The game was sent to overtime.

With 33.2 seconds left, Carrollton trailed 44-43 and was forced to foul.

The Aviators sank both free throw attempts and increased their lead to 46-43.

Chaney then took over, driving to the basket and scoring two points with a layup - only 18 seconds remained on the clock at this point.

Carrollton trailed 46-45.

With less than 10 seconds remaining, Carrollton was forced to foul again if they wanted any chance

to win. Alliance made both of their free throw shots, taking a 48-45 lead and giving Carrollton no other choice but to pull up from three.

Chaney got a shot off from three but missed the mark. The basketball Gods gave him another shot, as Birong was able to tap out the rebound to Chaney. He gave it a double pump-fake and released as the buzzer sounded - the ball bounced off the front of the rim and fell to the ground.

Carrollton came up short, 48-45.

Chaney finished the game a teamhigh 24 points.

“It was quite a tale of two halves,” Carrollton Coach Mike Aukerman said.

“Our guys answered convincingly in the fourth and left it all out on the floor.”

Alliance finished with 14 steals in the game, being led by sophomore Gage Ford who recorded a team-high six steals and blocked three shots.

“Our crowd was amazing and it is great to see that kind of support for our guys,” Aukerman said. “We really feed off of them, and the fact we fight to the final buzzer is something I think anyone in this community would be proud of.”

The Warriors hosted Cambridge Jan. 18 and fell 50-31.

Carrollton is now 4-2 in league action.

Malvern Hornets boys basketball team continues to roll

Browning, Minor lead Hornets against Strasburg

Malvern junior Johnny Browning is defended by a Strasburg player in an IVC game last week. He finished the contest with a game-high 19 points.

MALVERN - The Malvern boys basketball team continues to be one of the top teams in the Inter-Valley Conference (IVC).

The Hornets dominated the conference champions of the last two seasons, the Strasburg Tigers.

The Tigers jumped out to a 4-0 lead thanks to a quick pair of early buckets

by Tayshawn Curtis - who finished the game with eight points.

Malvern switched gears part way through the first quarter, putting on a 6-0 run to take a 6-4 lead by the end of the period.

The Hornets clamped down on defense in the second quarter, keeping the visiting Tigers off the board while scoring 11 themselves.

Malvern lead 17-4 at intermission.

The highest scoring quarter for Malvern happened in the third quarter.

Malvern scored 17 points while holding Strasburg to just 10. The Hornets went on to win the game 47-

24.

Johnny Browning led the Hornets with a game-high 19 points, including one three-pointer.

The only other Hornet scoring in double figures was Michael Minor.

He finished with 15 points, including one three-pointer and shot 4-of-5 from the foul line.

Minor pulled down seven of Malvern’s 27 rebounds.

As a team, Malvern made 10 of their 16 (63%) free throw attempts in the game.

Jake Onul scored five points for Malvern, Kenneth Martin added four and Trent Severs tacked on two points.

Noah Ball and Max Earl scored one point each in Malvern’s win.

Accident closes Burrow Road

By GEORGETTE HUFF FPS Contributor Burrow Road SW in Monroe Township was closed for approximately an hour on Sunday afternoon, Jan. 19, following a two-vehicle crash that injured three adults and three children.

Shortly after noon, a 2005 Honda Accord being driven by Jace Miles, 19, of 808 Thomas Ave. NW, Carrollton, was traveling south on Burrow Road and went left of center, strik-

ing a 2014 GMC Terrain being driven by Tyler Delancey, 27, of 1222 Taft St., Sherrodsville.

Both vehicles went off the road, and the vehicle driven by Miles overturned. The airbags deployed in both vehicles.

Both drivers were injured.

Miles was taken to Mercy Hospital and Delancey was transported to Aultman Hospital in Canton.

Passengers in the Delancey vehicle, April Delancey, 23; Ryker Delancey, 6; Leo Delancey, 3 and Apollo Delancey, 9 months, of the Sherrodsville

Commissioners receive update on county insurance

By NANCY SCHAAR FPS Correspondent Wendy Dillingham of the County Employee Benefits Consortium of Ohio (CEBCO) appeared before the Board of Commissioners on Jan. 16, to discuss the third-quarter reports.

Dillingham reported that all employees should have received a new insurance card. It is a universal card that includes health and prescription benefits.

As of Jan. 1 the county’s prescription drug benefit moved from Express Scripts to Anthem Prescription.

“We went with Anthem because no one gives better discounts in the state other than Anthem,” said Dillingham.

The report showed that 276 employees are enrolled in the plan. Total employee enrollment decreased by 1.7 percent from a year ago. Fifty-four percent of the membership is female and 45 percent is male.

The top health conditions reported were injury and poisoning. Musculoskeletal system issues, digestive system, neoplasms and preventative care

were the top five categories.

Akron Children’s Hospital was the most utilized center for health care. The top inpatient facility was Cleveland Clinic hospitals, and top outpatient services were with Aultman and Mercy hospitals.

The top diagnosis for employees continues to be diabetes, according to Dillingham’s report.

Dillingham advised that several drugs have now been classified as generic and co-pay costs will be slightly more.

Commissioners Bob Wirkner and Jeff Ohler appointed representatives for several boards and committees through the end of 2020. Commissioner Lewis Mickley was not in attendance.

The appointments are the following: John S. Cooper, Apiary Inspector; OMEGA Membership Board, Wirkner, Mickley, Ohler and alternate Christopher Modranski; John Cross to Airport Authority Board; Modranski to the Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy Committee; Sheriff Dale Williams and Police Chief Robert Ellington to the Carroll County Volunteer Peace Officers’ Dependents Fund Board; Wirkner to the 911 Planning Committee and 911 Technical

Center Twp. resident challenges legality of trustees’ meetings

By GEORGETTE HUFF FPS Contributor As the Pledge of Allegiance concluded and the Center Township board of trustees were preparing to vote on Rick McNinch’s motion to go into an executive session as the first order of business at the Jan. 14 meeting, township resident Rick Weals interrupted, calling for a “point of order.”

Weals said that because the public had not been properly informed that a special meeting would be held on Jan. 3, any business that had been conducted at that meeting would be null and void. Representatives from two local papers were present at the Dec. 23 meeting, when the date of the special meeting was set.

However, Weals stated that a notice had not been posted on the door of the trustees’ building located at 419 Fourth St. NE, near Westview Cemetery.

Board chair Mark Walters disagreed, saying he thought the notice had been posted.

McNinch then asked for the floor. He said that while the board understands the public’s frustration, serving as a trustee “feels like walking on a

hotbed.” He said that he, Walters and Matt Manfull are going to work on getting things “straightened out.”

Noting that “it’s sad because when I was first a trustee under the old guard, (people like) Bill Myers helped get things done,” McNinch asked that residents “give us a little bit of a break and let us move on.”

However, Weals persisted.

Without providing dates or details, he said “three out of four” prior meetings “have been illegal.”

Saying, “I will do what has to be done,” Weals informed the board he intends to call the state attorney general.

The trustees went into an executive session for the purpose of discussing the fiscal officer vacancy with Carolyn Leggett included.

Later in the meeting, after an executive session lasting over 20 minutes, Walters announced that Leggett has agreed to complete former fiscal officer Pam Berardinelli’s unexpired term, starting immediately.

Additionally, the board agreed to hire Theresa Love of Tuscarawas County as temporary, part-time, deputy fiscal officer for the purpose of training Leggett. Because the fiscal officer’s pay rate is set, Leggett’s

pay will be reduced to cover the $25 per hour that Love will be paid.

Leggett will begin her first full term in office on April 1.

In other business, trustees: -APPROVED a motion to conduct meetings using an agenda. Anyone wishing to speak must call ahead to be placed on the agenda and will be given 3 minutes to speak at the meeting.

-APPROVED raises equalizing the pay rate for road superintendent Zeph Casper and cemetery sexton Rob McClure at $18.25 per hour.

-OUTLINED vacation, compensatory time, holiday and sick leave benefits for all township employees.

-HEARD that McNinch will ride with Casper to check conditions on certain roads in the township.

-RECEIVED a letter from Tim Thompson, owner of Carroll Asphalt, that identified several issues including concerns about past bidding procedures. The letter stated that Thompson will not bid on Wood Road work and suggested that the board read the Trustees Handbook.

-ANNOUNCED the next meeting will be 7 p.m. on Jan. 28.

Census jobs can provide County board of health reports sound finances extra income in 2020 If one of your New Year’s resolutions is to pay off bills or to improve your overall financial position, the Census Bureau can help with your goals.

The Bureau is recruiting thousands of individuals to fill fulltime and part-time positions as recruiting assistants, field supervisors, office operations supervisors, enumerators, clerks, and foreign language speakers to work on the 2020 Census.

Pay rates for these positions have increased recently in many Ohio counties. The Bureau provides weekly paychecks, flexible hours, paid training and an opportunity to work close to home.

These jobs may be particularly appealing to retirees, college students, and those seeking temporary employment or a second job.

To be eligible for a 2020 Census job, applicants must: - Be at least 18 years old.

- Have a valid Social Security number.

- Pass a Census Bureau-performed background check and a case-by-case review of criminal records, including fingerprinting.

For a complete list of qualifi-

cations, we invite you to visit 2020census.gov/jobs.

The online application process is simple and easy and takes approximately 30 minutes. The assessment includes questions about your education, work history and other experiences.

Those who would like to claim veterans’ preference will need supporting documentation.

“Don’t prejudge your eligibility for 2020 Census jobs,” said Rose Simmons, an Ohio Partnership Coordinator. “Just apply and let us take it from there.”

Apply now online with a Smart device at 2020census.gov/jobs.

For details about available jobs or assistance with applying online call 855-562-2020 or 855JOB-2020. Select option 1 for technical assistance or option 3 to speak with someone in your area census office.

Census Bureau officials encourage those who have already applied for jobs to check their application status or update their applications by logging in, using the password they already established, or by calling 855562-2020.

In addition to providing an income, working for the 2020 Census is an opportunity to see

how the Census Bureau functions from the inside while helping to work toward a complete count of Ohio’s population. It may also be an opportunity to work for the federal government for the first time.

“Working for the Census Bureau involves you in a once-ina-decade process that benefits you and your community,” Simmons added. “We’re counting everyone once, and only once, and in the right place. Having an accurate population count helps us receive our fair share of federal funds that are distributed to our state and communities every year to assist in planning for bus routes, drawing district school boundaries, and lets companies know where to open new stores and businesses. All of this can lead to an increase in public services and conveniences as well as new job opportunities.”

As mandated by the U.S. Constitution, America gets just one chance each decade to count its population. The U.S. Census Bureau counts every resident in the United States. It is mandates by Article 1, Section 2 of the U.S. Constitution and takes place every 10 years.

A lengthy discussion was held with resident Gordon Warner who provided Board President Dr. W. Scott Stine with a letter seeking an appointment to the board due to the unexpected resignation last month of board member Sean Speedy.

The District Advisory Council will meet in March to appoint someone to fill the vacancy.

Warner questioned whether the board policy that “no person who is related by blood or marriage to any employee or member of the board shall be hired or employed by the board” has legal standing.

Warner then asked if the board would have to fire his wife, who has been a nurse with the department for 12 years, if he were selected as a board member.

Commissioner Gotschall and Administrator Campbell both stated that clause has been in the administrative policies for a very long time and other boards and companies have the same policy.

Board Member Tom White questioned whether Warner could be appointed at all since his wife is already an employee.

Following the discussion, the board agreed to send the matter

Grant funds totaled $132,473 in 2019.

Office Administrator Amy Campbell reported the department continues to work on the many forms and pages of materials required by the state to meet accreditation requirements.

Campbell has been working on this process for some time. She said 64% of the accreditation process has been completed.

Director of Nursing Kelly Engelhart reported her department is doing point-of-sale inspections of businesses selling tobacco products to ensure they are not selling to anyone under

to the county prosecutor for his opinion.

Rose Township resident Bernie Heffelbower also attended the board meeting and expressed an interest in filling the vacancy on the board.

In other business the board: - SET the next board meeting for Feb. 5 at 5:30 p.m. at the health department.

- WELCOMED Jack Kuttie, who was observing the meeting for his Eagle Scout award.

In Loving Memory of Danny Daniel Michael Strawder, Jr. January 27, 1979 – January 15, 2006 It is still a very difficult struggle each day that we have to go on living our lives without you here to share it with us.

It was on that day, January 15, 2006 you left us on this earth with only the memories you left behind.

No one knows the pain we go through everyday, knowing that we lost you without getting to say any last words, and all the questions that will remain unanswered, such as what would you have done and what you would be doing now. Where you would be and what the future had in store for you.

What we do know for sure is that it wasn’t the end for you.

It gives us such good pleasure knowing it was the beginning for you, in a new place, where only good exists. And someday, when the good Lord is ready for us, we will be reunited, together again, happily ever after, knowing we will never be separated from each other again.

Until then, you will be missed, always remembered, never forgotten and loved by family and friends.

Father, Daniel Strawder Sr. Mother, Joyce Boron Brothers, Jay-R and Brent Strawder Sister, Christina Strawder

Your Neighbor Has One An Obstructed Airway

More than 30 million Americans snore, and many are suffering with undiagnosed Obstructive Sleep Apnea.

This is a serious sleep disorder that occurs when a person’s breathing is interrupted during sleep, and they may not even be aware this is happening.

Specifically, the tongue and soft palate collapse onto the back of the throat, restricting air flow into the lungs, causing the familiar snoring sounds. Sensing a lack of oxygen, the brain sends out an alarm to rouse the sleeper just enough to raise his head and thrust his jaw forward to temporarily open the airway. This can happen 6 to 10 times an hour and can cause a long list of problems associated with chronic lack of sleep.

An Aggravated Sleep Partner

Nearly 50% of middle-aged adults snore, so the likelihood that your neighbor is affected by this problem is high. And snoring doesn’t just affect the snorer. Partners can suffer from lost sleep as well. Tests show that sleep partners average at least one hour of lost sleep a night due to a partner’s snoring.

Have you recognized one or more of the 10 common signs of OSA in yourself or a loved one at the bottom of this page? Obstructive Sleep Apnea affects your health and wellbeing.

An Unused CPAP Machine

With more than 750,000 Continuous-Positive Air Pressure or CPAP Machines prescribed each year, your neighbor probably has one by their bedside right now.

A CPAP is usually the treatment of choice for those with severe sleep apnea. However, many patients have trouble tolerating their CPAP machine, wear their CPAP less than prescribed and are unhappy with their results.

A treatment option is only effective if you use it.

Medicare Approved Facility

OSA CAUSES INCREASED RISK FOR: • • • •

heart attacks hypertension congestive heart failure stroke

• diabetes • acid reflux disease • impotence • motor vehicle accidents

THE SOLUTION - C.O.A.T. Continued Open Airway Treatment

Schedule your FREE Limited Exam Today

There are easier and more comfortable solutions to sleep apnea. We are a medical equipment provider that specializes in the treatment of OSA using a custommade oral appliance.

This specially designed “mouth piece” fits over your teeth and is custom-made for you by a licensed dentist who has advanced training in dental sleep medicine.

Similar to a mouth guard or retainer, this comfortable, easy-to-wear appliance maintains your jaw in a forward position, keeping your airway open and leading to more restful sleep.

There are over 15 years of evidence supporting the effectiveness of oral appliances in treating OSA.

ORAL APPLIANCE BENEFITS

Covered by most medical insurances Easy to use and comfortable to wear • Easy to travel with • Better sleep • Improved daytime functioning • Higher compliance rates than CPAP therapy • Less snoring • May help improve the sleep of your partner • •

1040 Trump Rd NW, Suite 300 • Carrollton, OH 44615

Normal Airway with open and

easy breathing.

Snoring Airway with intermittent obstruction halts breathing.

THE PROCESS

Obstructive Apnea Airway

completely blocked, stopping breathing.

Let our Healthy Sleep Center Continuing Health Care Concierge walk you through the process of obtaining the necessary appointments to secure a diagnosis of OSA to submit your oral appliance as a medical claim.

If you already have a prescription, you would begin your process by discussing insurance and payment plans with your Continuing Health Care Concierge.

It just takes 3-5 minutes for our state-of-the-art iTero Element Intraoral Digital Scanner to create a digital color impression of your teeth. With our digital process there is no impression material placed in your mouth, and your oral model is sent electronically to our labs,

which decreases the amount of time needed to deliver your appliance.

In roughly 10-15 days, your custom oral appliance will be delivered, and you will return to our office for your final seating and adjustments. At that time, you will be taught to use and maintain your appliance with your personal cleaning kit and AM aligner.

You will have follow-up appointments once a week for a month for incremental bite adjustments to your appliance to ensure your best possible sleep.

The effectiveness of your oral appliance can be tested using an app, by your sleep partner’s testimony or by your own feelings of improved rest and wellbeing.
