County pushes through weekend storm

By NANCY SCHAAR FPS Correspondent

Old man winter threw everything at Carroll County this past weekend.

Rain, ice, rain, snow, ice, and then five foot snowdrifts! And you can’t forget below zero temperatures.

But officials of the county praised residents for paying attention to weather warnings, road condition reports, and the county experienced very few incidents that were storm related.

Carroll County Engineer Brian Wise said it was a tough couple of days.

“There were a lot of diverse events.

We had reports of six to eight inches of snow. We had a tough time with snow drifting that was four to eight feet deep and we’re still fighting that. We don’t have numbers yet as to how many tons of salt we needed or how many hours our drivers put in, but today we are starting to see pavement and tomorrow is calling for 40 degree temperatures and rain, so we should see some melting,” said Wise.

In the early hours of Sunday morning, County Engineer Supervisor Alan Furbee called the plow trucks back to

the garage for an hour or so. The roads were that bad and three trucks had ended up off the road and in ditches.

There were no injuries and the trucks were not difficult to get back on the road, according to Wise.

Emergency Management Agency Director Tom Cottis said a warming center was ready to open but there wasn’t a need for it. “We always are prepared to open a warming center or shelter at the Friendship Center at the fairgrounds.

But we didn’t need one this weekend,” said Cottis.

Cottis said there were very few power outages. Some parts of the county saw four inches of snow while other areas received eight or nine inches. The Malvern area seems to have received the deepest snow. But that’s not counting snowdrifts, which were a big problem on the roadways Sunday, according to Cottis.

“Please still continue to check on elderly neighbors to make sure they are ok and if help is needed, please call,” said Cottis.

Street Superintendent Marcus Benson said they put salt down on Saturday but then the village mainly got rain. Sunday and Monday were differ-

ent stories.

“It was crazy how different areas of the county got different amounts of snow. When we had nothing yet in Carrollton, Malvern already had about four inches of slush and had the plows go through. Even with the extreme cold, we were able to keep working on the streets and very few people were out around town and we were able to keep working,” said Benson.

On Monday, Benson said they were able to start loading the piles of snow and getting them out of town to try to clear parking areas. Benson appreciated the help of the water and sewer department with the snow clean up.

Carroll County Sheriff Dale Williams was pleased that residents paid attention to the warning and stayed home and didn’t try to venture out.

“Between the ice, the snow, and then the drifts, it was a tough job to get the roads cleared. Our highway department did their best to keep up with it all and did a great job. Nothing is more important than keeping your family safe and I am grateful people did

Shopko closing Minerva store amid Chapter 11 restructuring Clearance signs were up Tuesday, Jan. 25, at Minerva’s Shopko Hometown, located on Alliance Road.

The corporation announced Jan. 16 it will close several of its Shopko, Shopko Hometown and Shopko Optical Centers after filing voluntary petitions for a court-supervised financial restructuring under Chapter 11 of the United State Bankruptcy Code.

Minerva’s store is expected to close in early April.

Sadly, this is the second time area residents will see the storefront empty with Shopko taking over the building after Pamida closed.

“This decision is a difficult, but necessary one,” said Russ Steinhorst, chief executive officer. “In a challenging retail environment, we have had to make

some very tough choices, but we are confident that by operating a smaller and more focused store footprint, we will be able to build a stronger Shopko that will better serve our customers, vendors, employees and other stakeholders through this process.”

Area man sentenced to 15 years to life for rape

By NANCY SCHAAR and DON RUTLEDGE FPS Staff

A former Magnolia man, convicted of two counts of rape involving two children under age 10, could die in prison.

That was the explanation given Darrienne Jackson Brodrick Yospur by Visiting Judge Richard D. Reinbold Jr. when he sentenced Yospur to serve a mandatory indefinite term of incarceration of 15 years to incarceration for the rest of his natural life in prison following Yospur’s conviction in Carroll County Common Pleas Court last Thursday, Jan. 17.

In pronouncing the sentence, Judge Reinbold asked Yospur if he understood that he will probably die in jail.

Yospur responded he understood.

Judge Reinbold further explained the institution where Yospur will serve will determine controls or sanctions over his prison sentence. If he is ever released, Yospur will have to register as a Tier 3 sex offender for the remainder of his life.

At the Jan. 17 change of plea and sentencing hearing, Yospur withdrew his former not guilty pleas to 15 felony counts contained in an indictment returned against him Sept. 5, 2018.

They included 10 counts of rape, each 1st degree felonies; two counts of pandering sexually oriented matter involving a minor, each 2nd degree felonies; one count of gross sexual imposition, a 3rd degree felony, and two counts of

pandering obscenity involving a minor, each 2nd degree felonies.

Following plea negotiations, Carroll County Prosecuting Attorney Steven D. Barnett dismissed 13 of the felony counts and Yospur entered guilty pleas to two counts of rape, each 1st degree felonies.

When asked by Judge Reinbold if Yospur had anything to say as to why judgment should not be pronounced against him, the 21-year-old responded: “I realize I have an addiction to sex and pornography that comes from my

Carrollton BOE names new administrative assignments

By NANCY SCHAAR FPS Correspondent

Carrollton School’s Board of Education held a Budget Hearing, the yearly Organizational meeting and the regular board meeting.

Superintendent Dr. David Quattrochi gave an update on the progress of the new 6 to 12 grade school complex. The update included final plans for the new field house for the school as well.

Director of Programs Ed Robinson said that this summer will be one of the busiest ever for the school district.

“Every child from pre-school to high school will be in a different building with different teachers and administrators for each building,” said Quattrochi.

Plans are still set for the district to receive the keys to both new facilities at the end of May. All elementary students will be housed at the current Carrollton High School Building with Matt Nicholas serving as Elementary Principal and Darin Abel as the Elementary Assistant Principal.

Middle school will be housed in the new building located on St. Rt. 332 south of Carrollton with Tim Albrecht serving as Assistant Principal for grades 6 to 8.

High School students will also move into the new facility with Dave Davis serving as principal for grades 6 to 12. Assistant Principal for grades 9 to 12 will be Caleb Crawl.

All members of the administration met with Quattrochi and their wishes for grade assignments were made known.

Quattrochi said they are all excited about the new assignments for next year.

“This didn’t happen in a vacuum. This has been talked about for months. We spoke to them both separately and collectively.

They are all embracing this,” said Quattrochi.

Meetings will be held with all teachers and staff members to determine what subject’s and grade level’s they would prefer.

“People get stagnant. It’s good to move around after six or seven years. It brings fresh eyes to all areas,” said board member Wendy Gotschall.

In other business the board: - ELECTED Rose Seck as President and Helen Skinner

SHOPKO from PG. 1 Since 1962, Shopko has provided quality name-brand merchandise, great values and services to small and mid-size cities and have consistently met the needs of smaller communities across the Central, Western and Pacific Northwest regions of the U.S. The company operates 360 stores in 26 states, including 234 Shopko Hometowns.

In an e-mail to its customers, Shopko officials state, “Over the past several months, we have been taking action to drive improved performance and strengthen Shopko’s financial position. Today, Shopko took an important step towards protecting our future and ensuring our

ability to continue delivering the high-quality products and services that our customers are accustomed to receiving.”

In a press release, the company stated, “In order to position the company for future success, Shopko has announced that it will be closing an additional 38 stores, relocating over 20 optical centers to freestanding locations, and conducting an auction process for its pharmacy business.”

Based in Green Bay, Wisc., Shopko plans to continue to grow its optical business by opening additional freestanding optical centers in 2019 after being “encouraged” by the performance of the four freestanding

optical centers opened in 2018.

Shopko is also filing customary first day motions that, once approved by the court, will allow the company to smoothly transition its business into Chapter 11, including, among other things, granting authority to pay wages, salaries, benefits, and pay vendors and suppliers in the ordinary course for authorized goods and services provided on or after the filing date.

Shopko is seeking to facilitate the restructuring as a result of excess debt and ongoing competitive pressures. The petitions have been filed in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Nebraska.

Drilling company still did not get water well right

By NANCY SCHAAR FPS Correspondent

Carroll County Health District board member Sean Speedy asked members to investigate more into the money that was paid to American Drilling of Stone Creek for a new well for a resident.

Early last year, commissioners approved a grant from the Community Housing Impact and Preservation Grant program to install a new well for a county resident. American Drilling and Plumbing of Stone Creek was hired.

The first hole dug failed and was filled in but was not reported to the county health department.

A second well was dug, but collapsed because once again the hole was not dug properly and the pump fell into the well.

American Drilling just walked away. Although the health department tried to contact the company for months by letter and by phone, there was no response from the company.

The resident was finally provided with a storage tank in her yard for her to have water to the house. But after almost a year, that was wearing pretty thin.

Upon further investigation, the health department found that the second well was drilled only 29 ½ inches from the first well.

The legal requirement states that it must be at least ten feet apart.

The county health department began working with the state to place a hold on the $10,000 bond paid by Bill Burgan, owner of American Drilling.

On November 5, the Ohio Department of Health issued orders to American Drilling to comply within 15 days. The state can hold that $10,000 bond until a new well is properly dug, installed, and working. Burgan would not be permitted to drill another well anywhere in the state until he paid back the $10,000.

Burgan asked for a 10-day extension until Dec. 21. Burgan did dig a well by the deadline.

Speedy advised the board that the deal still isn’t right. Speedy said Burgan was required to dig a 300-foot well. But the last well that Burgan dug was only 120 feet.

“That’s diminished value. The county did not get what they paid for. They paid for a 300-foot well and that is not what they got,” said Speedy.

Speedy said that Burgan owes the county a refund, because they did not get what they paid for.

The matter will be looked into further to determine the proper course of action that needs to be taken.

After the well was drilled in December, the State Health Department advised Office Manager

Wise elected to serve on engineer’s assoc.’s board Carroll County Engineer Brian Wise was recently elected to represent the area of the State on the County Engineer’s Association of Ohio Board of Directors for 2019 at the association’s annual meeting in December 2018.

As a Board of Directors member, Wise will be representing the seven counties of Ohio District 11; Belmont, Carroll, Columbiana, Harrison, Holmes, Jefferson and Tuscarawas. Wise

will be joined by 11 other district directors on the board from all over the State.

“I am honored to have the opportunity to represent my fellow county engineers on the board of directors and I look forward to working with the association to improve Ohio’s highway and bridge infrastructure,” Wise said.

Wise was sworn in to the CEAO Board of Directors on Dec. 10.

Amy Campbell that Burgan had asked who he sends the bill to for the last well he dug.

Board members were pleased to learn that the budget for 2019 was turned into the County Auditor on time in 2018. All budget deadlines were met and Campbell thanked the auditor’s office for their patience and help with all of the process.

Health Commissioner Wendy Gotschall advised that they will be reviewing the county commissioner’s policy and procedure policies to see how the health department’s compare.

“Ours are probably not current and will need to be updated. We can use the county as a guideline,” said Gotschall.

In other business, the board: - LEARNED the department is working on food inspections and plan to have them completed by Feb. 28.

- HEARD that 95 immunizations were given in December.

- WAS told there were a total of 164 deaths in Carroll County in 2018.

There were a few vehicles in ditches around the county but no major accidents or injuries were reported. Williams was very concerned about the subzero temperatures and people who might have ventured out and were stuck or in a ditch.

“There were times this weekend that would have made it very difficult to get a firetruck or an ambulance to someone in trouble. It was pretty rough on the roads. The warnings aren’t issued lightly. We did post a Level 2 Snow Emergency for the county. It was needed and people listened. That’s a really good thing,” said Williams.

YOSPUR from PG. 1 childhood. It has plagued me for over 10 years. A lot of things happened that is my fault. A lot of things happened that was not my fault. I did what I did.

I have to face up to this and I know God will be with me,” he said.

Yospur also said he is very sorry and he prays every night for forgiveness for what he’s done.

He said he loved all of his family and he was very sorry.

The grandmother of the victims was also given an opportunity to address Yospur and the Court. She said she was grateful that the children did not have to testify. She also said she hopes they don’t remember the bad stuff.

“I know in my heart I’ll never be able to trust. As a grandmother, I should have known.

People have said I didn’t protect them. He hurt our entire family.

He ruined entire relationships.

He needs to be punished.”

“I wanted to take a gun and

shoot him. He hurt my babies.

I hope my grandchildren will not remember what happened to them,” said the victim’s grandmother who was very emotional and sobbing.

In response to the grandmother’s comments, Judge Reinbold said “Your feelings of guilt are natural. It’s not your fault. He’s guilty. He knew what he was doing.”

Yospur’s response to the grandmother’s comments was: “It’s going to be very difficult for you. I don’t blame you for what’s happened. I’m very sorrowful. I wish I could change.

I know how you feel. When I get out, you can inflict as much pain on me as you want, “ he continued. Yospur also quoted a Bible reference to forgiveness.

Judge Reinbold then imposed the 15-year minimum to life sentence on each of the two counts of rape to be served concurrently.

Carroll County sheriff’s dep-

uties transported Yospur to Lorain Correctional Institute Friday to begin his sentence, according to Carroll County Sheriff Dale R. Williams.

When asked for a comment on Yospur’s conviction and sentence, Carroll County Prosecuting Attorney Steven D. Barnett said: “In light of the facts and evidence in this case with two child victims under age 10, the sentence was appropriate. We are glad that the victims did not have to endure any further trauma of having to participate in a trial and we hope there is some semblance of justice for them.”

“I am also grateful for the hard work taken by sheriff’s investigators in developing evidence that established a provable case beyond a reasonable doubt,” he added.

Prosecutor Barnett also explained Yospur will be eligible to request parole after serving 15 years of his prison sentence.

Dellroy Council receives donation from Legion

By JACQUIE HUMPREY

FPS Correspondent DELLROY- At the January meeting of the Dellroy Village Council, Brad Gray and Bob King of Dellroy’s American Legion were present to give Council a donation.

King said that the Legion was making the donation toward expenses of the Community Building. Mayor Doug Ruby and Council thanked King and Gray for their generous offer.

Fiscal Officer Candice Ruby welcomed in-coming Solicitor Jenna Hokes. Ruby introduced Hokes to all of Council and said that she looks forward to working with her.

Fiscal Officer Ruby inquired of Hokes as to the proper steps to take to have some needed electrical work done on three separate buildings. Ruby reported that one estimate previously obtained was in excess for $1,000.00.

Hokes advised Ruby that any expenditure over $1,000.00 must be bid out and advertised

in a local newspaper. She explained that the work could be solicited in one advertisement, to reduce the advertising cost to the Village, and then detailed individually by interested contractors. Ruby will proceed with the bidding process.

Mayor Ruby advised Council that a third approved signer for Village checks needs to be added at Unified Bank, in case either he or the Fiscal Office is unavailable.

Council discussed and Council member Don Palleye noted that he thought that Council had approved the Council President as signature of record previously. Ruby explained that the bank has requested a copy of official minutes be submitted to add anyone to the account.

Hokes advised that having minutes with Council’s approval of an addition was a standard operating procedure, as will be showing proof of identification.

Council unanimously approved Council President Joe Mabie as an authorized signature of record for the Village.

In other action council: - Approved 30 purchase or-

ders totaling $17,465.95 and twenty-nine checks and electric payments in the amount of $4,737.89.

County Year-End Reports Obituaries Common Pleas Court Sara Marie Willen

Following is a 2018 annual report submitted by Former Carroll County Common Pleas Court Judge Dominick E. Olivito Jr. for the period of Jan. 1, 2018, through Dec. 31, 2018: The Common Pleas Court presided over more than 902 cases and proceedings during 2018. The Court’s active caseload for 2018 was 511 cases.

The Court impaneled three grand juries and presided over six grand jury sessions. The Court impaneled 3 petit trial juries during 2018.

The Court heard numerous judicial release motions, criminal record expungement hearings, and 124 probation violation probable cause and merit hearings. The Court heard more than 150 Child Support Enforcement Agency contempt motion hearings, child support objection hearings, and Interstate Child Support Registration cases. The Court interviewed and approved 100 Notary Public applicants.

The Court began 2018 with 143 active civil, domestic relations and criminal cases pending. 368 new cases were filed during 2018.

384 cases and motions were completed by the Court. 127 cases remained on the Court’s active docket Dec. 31, 2018.

The Common Pleas Court employs and supervises the Carroll County Common Pleas Court Adult Probation Department. A total of 144 probationers were supervised and reported to the Adult Probation Department during 2018 entailing 1,961 criminal bond reports and probation contacts being made to the Adult Probation Department. The Adult Probation Department was supervising 138 probationers as of Dec. 31, 2018.

During 2018, the Court sentenced 39 defendants to prison and nine defendants to the Eastern Ohio Community Correction Facility. Adult Probation filed 62 probation violations during 2018.

Adult Probation, the Prosecutor’s Office and this Court actively prosecuted Common Pleas Court Adult Probation violations resulting in incarceration in the county jail, Eastern Ohio Correction Facility, Electronically Monitored House Arrest, Halfway Houses, and prison for those probation violations. This resulted in 15,114 days of incarceration as punishment imposed upon those individuals collectively sentenced to prison, community control sanctions and probation violations during 2018.

The Court, through the Adult Probation Department, collected $46,035.53 in fines and court costs and $15,464.70 in restitution during 2018.

The operating budget for the Court, Adult Probation Department, and the Jury Commission was $499,223 for 2018. Of this budgeted amount the Court returned $114,823.16 to the general

fund as unspent in 2018. The Court returned $73,078.71 to the general fund as unspent in 2017.

The Court experienced increased filings of new domestic violence civil protection petitions. During 2017 grand jury indictments for aggravated vehicular assault, burglary, breaking and entering, theft, drug, and sexual offenses dominated the Court’s criminal docket.

The Court was staffed by Attorney Sue Selegean-Dostal, Court Administrator and Law Clerk, Douglas Bettis, Assignment Commissioner, Official Court Reporter and Executive Secretary, and Judge Dominick E. Olivito Jr. Timothy Patterson, bailiff, retired June 1, 2018, after serving the Court for 11 1/2 years.

The Carroll County Adult Probation Department was staffed by Byron Fairclough, Chief Probation Officer, Hunter Borland, Assistant Probation Officer and Kelly Strock, Assistant Probation Officer. Randy Smith served as a part-time Probation Officer when necessary.

The Jury Commissioners were Betsy Bair and Mary Sinclair.

The 2018 Veterans Service Commissioners appointed by the Court were Lawrence R. DeDent, Thomas Barnett, Tom Indorf and Michael Majorca.

Stressful, emotional, and dangerous cases were handled daily by the Common Pleas Court. Security is necessary to prevent weapons and violence from entering and occurring in the Courthouse.

Noting the numerous national incidents involving multiple person shootings at or near public buildings, concerns regarding securing the safety of county employees and the public when using the courthouse are real. The Second Street SE entrance to the Courthouse remains the only reasonable choice to permit unlimited but secure entrance to the Courthouse for visitors and packages to prevent weapons and violence from entering the Courthouse. The Courthouse Security Committee sets policy regarding access to the courthouse and courthouse security.

The Common Pleas Court always attempts to provide a fair, independent, professional and thoughtful environment for individuals and attorneys to resolve pending domestic relations, divorce, child custody, child support, felony criminal prosecutions and civil lawsuits.

It has been an honor to serve as Judge of the Carroll County Court of Common Pleas for the past 12 years.

Thank you.

Respectfully submitted, Judge Dominick E. Olivito Jr. (2007-18) Carroll County Court of Common Pleas General and Trial Divisions

Throwback Ad Published Jan. 25, 1979 in The Free Press Standard

Lest We Forget

By CAPT. CHARLES PEARSON

U.S. Marine Corps, ret.

Contrary to army regulations, American soldiers often adopted dogs as mascots during war time.

The mascot dogs were not trained for any specific mission, but simply fulfilled their duty as devoted friends providing comfort under stress in a terrible war.

During the summer of 1917, “Stubby,” a stray pit bull, became the mascot of the 102nd Infantry, part of the army’s 26th “Yankee” Division while they were completing their training here in the States. Robert Conroy smuggled him aboard ship when they shipped out from Newport News, Va., and headed for St. Nazaire, France, in January of 1918. Stubby joined the fighting with the 102nd on Feb. 5, 1918. One night while the troops slept, he warned a sleeping sergeant of an impending gas attack. Another time, he sunk his teeth into the leg of a German infiltrator who was then quickly captured.

The small dog strayed into no man’s land and was wounded by shrapnel. Stubby and the 102nd participated in battles at Chateau-Thierry, the Marne, Saint-Mihiel, and the Meuse-Argonne. Some French women fashioned a blanket for him to wear and the soldiers fashioned medals to be pinned on the blanket. The media picked up the story and Stubby soon was in all the papers.

After serving 19 months over-

seas and participating in 17 battles, Stubby returned home with Conroy and the dog’s popularity seemed to grow even more. In 1920, the Eastern Dog Club of Boston awarded him a large silver medal inscribed with the words “Awarded to the Hero Dog Stubby.” The American Red Cross, the YMCA, and the American Legion all made the dog a life member of their organizations.

Stubby toured the country participating in more parades than any other dog in the world. He eventually met three presidents – Woodrow Wilson while still in France; Harding in 1921; and President Coolidge welcomed him to the White House in 1925. Old age took his life in 1926. His body was prepared by a taxidermist for display in the Red Cross museum with his French blanket and medals.

It is not easy for our military to face death in all its hideous forms in the far corners of the world. But what, perhaps more than anything else, gives them the nerve to face the difficult task of which their country asks, is the realization that the love of God, friends and family is with them.

Stubby, with his constant expression of faithful devotion, love and affection, was a small example of that love. In time of war, more than any other, one needs such love. Please keep all of our military personnel 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! We all like to be happy don’t we? And, none of us like our feelings hurt do we?

I fell in love with this story about feelings, and I also fell in love with our main character, Fragility.

Plus, as you can see, she is pretty cute too!

When I was a kid I was taught not to hurt people’s feelings, so I did my best not to. I can honestly say my feelings were not hurt too often, but when they were it was a very sad feeling.

Another thing, I was also taught two wrongs don’t make it right. How about you?

Here is a something from our story.

One day Rudy the elephant appeared during a game of soccer. Rudy was very rude and he hurt F r a g i l i t y ’s feelings. But Fragility stood her ground.

After all, she was the Protector of the Goal. So she decided to hurt Rudy’s feelings. When Rudy started to cry she couldn’t help but feel sorry for him. She knew how

By Sherry Kline Bolitho

it felt to have your feelings hurt.

At that very moment they made up and became the best of friends.

Until next time, be happy!

Your friend, Sherry Sherry Kline Bolitho

Children’s Book: Title: Hurty Feelings Author: Helen Lester Illustrated by: Lynn Munsinger Publisher: Houghton Mifflin Company Price: $16.00 Age group: 5-7 Available at the Carroll County District Library Fragility loves almost everything about life and her surroundings. Being the hippo she is, she loves to play the popular hippo game, “Sink to the Bottom” and pickup soccer. One thing for certain, she does not like her feelings hurt, or feeling lonely.

Check in with seniors, neighbors during and after winter storms

Winter Storm Harper brought snow, ice, high winds and bitter cold temperatures to most of Ohio this past weekend.

Weather-related road conditions, utility outages and more are dangers for all Ohioans, but can be especially hazardous for older adults. The Ohio Department of Aging asks all Ohioans to check on older loved ones and neighbors before, during and after the storm.

Here are some things to ask about when you call or visit: • Do they need medical attention? Have they fallen? Are they staying warm enough? Are they taking their medications as prescribed?

• Do they have safe food and water? Are they eating and

drinking regularly?

• Is the temperature in their home comfortable? Do they have safe means to heat the home if temperatures continue to fall?

• Whom will they call if they need help? Do they have access to a phone that will work without power or landline service?

Ohioans who live in nursing homes also can be at increased risk from severe winter weather. The Office of the State Long-Term Care Ombudsman advises to call loved ones’ nursing homes to check conditions there and ask how the facility is staffed.

If you or an older loved one become ill or injured during the storm, or if it becomes unsafe to

stay in your home for any reason, call 9-1-1 for emergency assistance.

Check local media or call local law enforcement to learn about the availability of warming centers or emergency shelters. Your area agency on aging can help identify emergency resources and services in your community. Visit the Ohio Department of Aging’s website (www.aging. ohio.gov) for contacts or call 1-866-243-5678 to be connected to the agency serving your community.

The Department of Aging’s “Safe at Home” web page (www.aging.ohio.gov/safeathome) includes resources for older Ohioans to be prepared for emergencies.

Seven Carrollton wrestlers earn spots on Top Gun podium

By JORDAN MILLER

Sports Editor

ALLIANCE - This year’s Top Gun tournament will be one to remember for the Carrollton Warriors wrestling team.

At the Top Gun tournament, the Warriors finished third as a team, which is a Carrollton best at the tournament.

Seven Carrollton wrestlers placed for the Warriors, which is the most number of placers the team has had in the history of the Top Gun tournament.

Lastly, Carrollton senior Ben Pasiuk fought his way through the bracket and right to the top of the podium, winning Top Gun, becoming Carrollton’s first and only wrestler to win the tournament in their career. With Pasiuk’s five wins at Top Gun, he surpassed his brother, Aidan, for career wins at CHS with 185.

Pasiuk (160 lbs.) had a first-round bye to open the tournament, and then defeated Christian Swarm of Austintown with a :38 pin.

He then won by a 6-2 decision over Trinity freshman Drew Cain.

Pasiuk ended day one of the tournament with a berth to the semifinals after Jaden Hardrick of Wayne forfeited the quarterfinal match.

Sal Perrine of Nordonia dropped a 62 match to Pasiuk in the semifinal.

Pasiuk narrowly defeated his opponent in the championship match on Saturday. Ty Mcgeary of West Allegheny put up a tough battle against Pasiuk but fell 6-4.

Carrollton freshman David Woolever (106 lbs.) and Brandon Brown (120 lbs.) both placed second for the Warriors.

Woolever opened the tournament with a 4-0 win over Tyler Cathcart St. John School. Woolever continued to

cruised through his weight class with a first-period pin, 4-3 win and 5-3 decision to land him a spot into Saturday’s championship match.

St. Vincent St. Mary’s sophomore Kenny Crosby was just too much for the Carrollton freshman, pinning him :36 into the third period of the match.

Brandon Brown, just a sophomore, dominated his way to the Top Gun finals with a pair of pins under :30 to open the tournament.

He defeated Brandon Meade of Cuyahoga Heights 9-3 in the quarterfinals.

On Saturday, Brown beat Jarrett Warrington of Claymont 4-1 to advance to the finals.

COLUMBUS, OH - Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) Director Mary Mertz named Kendra Wecker as chief of the ODNR Division of Wildlife on Saturday, Jan. 19. Wecker brings more than 25 years of experience working for the division building programs and partnerships that have helped shape Ohio’s conservation efforts. She becomes the first female Chief of the Division of Wildlife and will begin her assignment on Sunday, Jan. 20.

Wecker has advised numerous ODNR Division of Wildlife chiefs and other senior staff on legislative issues for all aspects of hunting, fishing, trapping and shooting sports. She has worked on many large projects affecting Ohioans, including commercial fishing regulations, Sunday hunting and improved shooting ranges. She was instrumental in proposing legislation for the popular cardinal and bald eagle license plates, and in the creation of the Ohio Biodiversity Conservation Partnership as well as the popular Ohio Diversity Conference.

“I want Ohioans to experience and learn about Ohio’s great wildlife resources and have the opportunity to enjoy them with their families,” said ODNR Director Mary Mertz. “Kendra’s history and knowledge working with our partners and wildlife legislative efforts will be instrumental in guiding the agency into the future.”

Former Division of Wildlife Chief Mike Miller will stay within ODNR as acting law enforcement administrator for Parks and Watercraft. Miller served the ODNR Division of Wildlife for a year and a half, helping to bolster law enforcement capabilities and

create the multi-year and lifetime licenses for hunting and fishing.

As chief of the division, Wecker will be responsible for day-to-day operations, including issues related to wildlife law enforcement, fish and wildlife research and management, promoting and establishing regulations related to wildlife recreation including hunting, fishing, trapping and wildlife watching, as well as the responsible management and investment of funds generated from the sale of hunting and fishing licenses and related equipment.

Wecker was the Wildlife Diversity Coordinator for almost 20 years before becoming the Information & Education Executive Administrator in 2016. In both roles she worked with outside organizations on outdoor public education programs, advised multiple chiefs on important topics, managed research project budgets totaling over $1 million, and coordinated legislative issues for the division.

During her tenure she has been the recipient of multiple awards, including Wildlife Conservationist of the Year from the League of Ohio Sportsmen. Since graduating from Ohio State University, protecting the rights of hunters, anglers and trappers has always been a top priority for Wecker.

She enjoys camping, fishing, and hunting with her family.

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

ODNR ensures a balance between wise use and protection of our natural resources for the benefit of all. Visit the ODNR website at ohiodnr.gov.
