Local author Dave Lange includes stories about Carroll County in book By NANCY SCHAAR FPS Correspondent
Aultman ceases to offer Stat care in Carrollton, expands other services To accommodate the health needs of the Carrollton community, Aultman will be expanding and enhancing care options at the Aultman Carrollton facility. With this change, Aultman Carrollton will also cease offering immediate care services effective Dec. 31. It will, however, continue to provide primary care services and begin offering same-day appointments for new
patients registering with the practice. This will maintain access to care for Carrollton residents while also bringing essential new services to the community. The plan includes providing more access to specialty physicians, offering extended hours of operation and enhancing the existing services – cardiology, laboratory and imaging services, audiology, therapy and more.
Sherrodsville woman dies in Christmas crash A Sherrodsville woman died Christmas day from injuries sustained from an automobile crash in Green Township in Harrison County. According to the Ohio State Highway Patrol Steubenville Post, Meghan Sue Higgenbotham, 33, of Sherrodsville, was a passenger of a 2011 BMW driven by Dale W. Resor, 34, of Freeport, who was traveling west on U.S. Route 22 at approximately 11:27 p.m. when he veered off the right edge of the roadway in a curve. The vehicle struck a traffic sign, traveled along the
embankment before vaulting from the embankment, overturning onto a guardrail, striking a bridge support and coming to rest upright under the bridge. Both Higgenbotham and Resor were pronounced dead at the scene. The crash remains under investigation. Higgenbotham was an employee at Conotton Valley Schools and was the middle-school volleyball coach. She is survived by her husband, Jarod Higgenbotham; a son, Dylan; and her parents, Kirk "Dan" and Valerie Wallick of Alabama.
Dave Lange, of Malvern, has published a book called “Virginity Lost in Vietnam”. The book includes numerous stories set in Carroll County. As the double entendre title suggests, Virginity Lost in Vietnam is about more than just the war in southeast Asia. It draws heavily on the adventures and frustrations of male pubescence and a culture largely shaped by drugs and rock ‘n’ roll, according to Lange. The 1960’s and 1970’s were a turbulent time in our country and Lange said it was a great time to grow up. One of Lange’s fondest childhood memories stem from the time he spent around a campfire and trips through the woods around Carroll County. His Explorers Post 2164 of Cuyahoga Falls camped there many times in the mid 1960’s. Lange achieved the rank of Eagle Scout and those experiences helped him lead his squad through survival training at Army Fort A.P. Hill, Virginia in 1969. He has been a member of the Carroll County Veteran’s Club board of directors for nearly four years. Through the Vets Club, Lange was able to discover the farm in the county where he had camped so many times. His friend, Dave Grunder, heard Lange describing the farm, acres, and the lake where he had camped in Carroll County as a scout. Grunder told him it sounded like Tabor Lake, which
DAVE LANGE
is located off St. Rt. 39 between Carrollton and Dellroy. When Lange and his wife followed the directions and drove to the old lake the next day, Lange was thrilled to have found the location that held so many wonderful memories from his youth.
The barn at the farm had the name of J. Dalton Williams on the barn. Lange soon discovered that the farmer who let the scouts camp there had a daughter and three sons. Lange was pleased

Village fire department receives donations Carrollton Village Fire Department Assistant Chief Bill Wells was happy to receive two donations for the village fire department. Wells received a check for $2,500 from Ethos Energy, a branch of Carroll County Energy. Marathon Petroleum also presented a check to the village in the amount of $5,000. Dana Turvey, lead driver for Marathon Petroleum, has led many safety oriented demonstrations for Carrollton fire fighters. They have included sessions on how to shut down tanks, proper procedures for after the tank is down, and many more. Turvey has also trained other departments in the county, such as Fox Township, Dellroy Village, and Perrysville Village. Troy Norris, regional transportation director of Crude Fleet, and manager of the Cadiz fleet, said the funds will be used to purchases iPads and tablets for the fire trucks to improve communications between the firefighters. Captain Dennis Fenton of Carrollton Village Fire Department said there will also be a large screen mounted at the station in order to coordinate firefighters, equipment, and access to a fire sight. “It will really help our communications and let us see the best way to handle a fire. We will be able to see how we should send in units to handle the situation,” said Fenton. Wells expressed his gratitude and was enthusiastic about the boost to communications and how to handle any emergency for the best end result.

BOOK from PG. 1 to learn about Dale Williams, Carroll County Sheriff, one of Dalton’s sons. At one of the meetings at the Vets Club, a fellow board member, Randy Stackhouse, introduced him to another Vietnam veteran, Darl Williams, twin brother to Sheriff Williams. The two men have become good friends, according to Lange. Sheriff Williams remembers the scouts camping on the farm for years. “They were all good kids. My dad never had any trouble from any of them. He enjoyed having them in the woods and knowing they were learning about that kind of life,” said the sheriff. The training he had as a boy scout in the Carroll County woods became very important while in the service when he went on a survival trek into the woods. He was the youngest, but he was the only one that knew anything about camping and surviving in the woods. Using his compass, he was able to lead his unit during survival training. Lange said his book is a story about war but it is not war story. He features remembrances from his childhood growing up with a World War II veteran and his war bride as his parents. The story is told of the courage of men in combat. Lange served during the war as a payroll manager and delivered the checks. He would leave the base with a $200,000 payroll. The payroll was delivered by land, air and water. He ventured to the remote areas while in a “Huey” helicopter. “I believe we lost our innocence as a country during that time. We went into that war
believing our government was telling the truth,” said Lange. The book includes stories about his time on baseball diamonds, swimming pools, and a time during some juvenile escapades. Information is shared about meeting and shaking hands with Lyndon B. Johnson during the 1964 election campaign. Lange got to shake his hand and listen to his speech when Johnson said he would not be sending American boys 10,000 miles away from home to do what Asian boys should be doing themselves. While a student at Kent State, Lange lost his student deferment and was drafted. Lange tells about boot camp training, exposure to Agent Orange and napalm, infested rivers, night raids, and the anguish of losing boys killed in action. “I’m proud to have served my country. It was a controversial war. When our plane left Saigon there were whoops and cheers when we left the ground. We never lost a major battle in Vietnam. I believe we were right to resist communism,” said Lange. Following his service, Lange embarked on a cross country hitchhiking journey. He worked as a construction worker and then a union auto worker before earning his degree in journalism at Kent State. Lange then enjoyed a 40-year career as a newspaper journalist. He has been awarded 65 awards in journalism and was named best column writer in Ohio in 2000 and 2011. The book may be purchased at your independent bookseller, or online at Amazon.com.

Lest We Forget By CAPT. CHARLES PEARSON
U.S. Marine Corps, ret. Sydney Gumpertz was the first sergeant of Company E 132nd Infantry, 33rd Division during World War I. During the battle of the Argonne on the night of Sept. 25, 1918, E Company had taken Forges Woods. It was a forward position and orders came down to hold it at all costs. E Company held, but out ahead an enemy machine gun kept firing intermittently causing many casualties which in turn took its toll on E Company’s moral. Gumpertz volunteered to put it out of action and asked for two volunteers to go with him. Corporal Paul Sinclair and his buddy, Sebastian Emma, jumped to their feet. The three of them wriggled out over the parapet of their trench and began to belly crawl towards the machine gun nest. As they neared the machine gun nest, Paul Sinclair rose to his knees, took deliberate aim at the concealed nest and pulled the trigger. This brought on a
burst of fire from the nest killing Paul Sinclair and his buddy, Sebastian Emma. With that, Gumpertz jerked his automatic weapon out and let it spit its entire clip into that clump of bushes and sandbags. He slapped home a fresh clip as he ran towards the machine gun nest shouting in anger. The machine gun nest grew silent and Gumpertz took 11 prisoners. General Pershing decorated him with the Medal of Honor. Proud of it all? You bet he was, but listen to how he said about it all: “I’m most proud of those two kids. Why, there was something about the way they stepped forward to die that was holy – far away from any thrill I have ever known. They did it for their comrades. I accept this award on their behalf.” Think about all of our veterans – all of them were willing to risk their lives for us and many of them gave their all. We should never forget them. Please keep them and their families in your prayers. Charles Pearson is the chaplain for the Malvern Legion Post 375 and Carrollton VFW Post 3301.
Commissioners discuss benefits for board of elections By NANCY SCHAAR FPS Correspondent Carroll County Commissioners held a discussion regarding health benefits for the Board of Elections at the Dec. 24 meeting after receiving a letter from them on Dec. 20. On Dec. 20, commissioners received a letter from Board of Elections Deputy Director Amanda Tubaugh and Board of Elections Director Vickie Reed stating that the Board of Elections was “standing by our Dec. 5 resolution to allow the spouses of board members without insurance available to them to be placed on the county insurance.” At the Dec. 24 meeting, Tubaugh presented commissioners with a 2018 cost saving analysis for their department. Tubaugh showed that the Board of Elections has saved the county more than $20,000 in recent years by doing the election programming, testing, support, and official canvass support by themselves and by not hiring an outside company. From 2010 to 2018 the total money saved from 23 elections would be $422,625. More than $14,000 was saved from those 23 elections by doing their own technology during those same eight years. Tubaugh told commissioners those savings total $437,025 that her department has been able to trim from county expenses. In addition, Tubaugh showed savings in equipment, election software, and software license fees that totaled $462,083. “That makes a total of $899,108 in savings to the county,” said Tubaugh. Tubaugh and the Board of Elections told commissioners that they had passed a resolution that will permit the spouses of Board of Election
members to have county health benefits. Commissioner President Bob Wirkner explained in detail to Tubaugh and board members that it is not permitted due to county policy. The Board of Election members are only part-time employees. Wirkner said there are no part time county employees who receive health benefits. Wirkner also specified that these part time employees are paid out of the general fund. “The Board of Commissioners are under no obligation whatsoever to give the Board of Election members any health benefits at all,” stated Wirkner. Wirkner read county policies that apply. “The Attorney General said in July that we are under no obligation to provide health benefits to any employee that is part time,” continued Wirkner. “The Attorney General’s opinion precedes anything else. We can continue benefits to those who already have them now but we will not extend it to spouses. We won’t pull the rug out from under those who have them now, but not to their spouses,” said Commissioner Jeff Ohler. Commissioner Lewis Mickley said that if employees are going to be offered benefits, they should be offered the whole package of benefits not just a portion of them. Wirkner said if you are not an elected official, you are an employee. That is a part time position and part time positions do not get any insurance. Board of Elections member Georgette Huff said that after researching minutes from Board of Election meetings, it was discovered that an exception was made for Board of Election members in 1982 to offer them benefits. “We are going to continue to offer insurance to the board members, but not to the spouses,” said Wirkner.

Winterizing care for outdoor dogs, cats By Eileen Rohrer CCAPL President If you are unable to have your outdoor pets inside, here are a few tips to help your cats and dogs cope with the extreme weather conditions that winter throws at us. 1. Make sure there is plenty of deep bedding in their boxes. Cedar chips are ideal as straw can harbor flea eggs but can be used if need be. Blankets and rugs are not good to use as they can be dragged out of the box and become frozen and tangled in the rope or chain. 2. Make sure the dog box is up off the ground at least 3 inches and not directly on the ground. The underground dirt can become frozen and this can in turn radiate the cold into the box from underneath. 3. If possible, nail or tack a flap of carpet or a rug over the entrance to help the animal keep their body heat inside and the cold wind out. 4. Face the opening of the dog box towards the east, as most inclement weather comes from the west. 5. If possible, put an electrically heated dog pad inside the box to keep “Fido” warm while inside. 6. Dogs and cats outside require more feedings during the winter months to maintain their body weight and to also help their calorie intake to maintain their body temperature. Smaller meals several times a day are better than one meal in a day or even two. This way the meals help them take in the calories needed to fight the cold weather. Your pet needs to be protected from the cold itself. Just because your pet has fur doesn’t mean they are completely protected from the cold. 7. Water can become frozen very quickly in the cold weather. It is best to offer them fresh warmer water (not hot!) several times a day to keep them from getting dehydrated. Eating snow is not good for them as this can cause belly aches and it also takes more body heat energy to change the snow into liquid in their system and they can become dehydrated more quickly. 8. Sometimes dogs have a difficult time with seeing or smelling their boundaries when there is snow on the ground. The usual scents and smells they are
used to are gone and the snow can also make them disoriented as to their boundaries. So keep an extremely watchful eye on “Fido”, especially the elderly ones! 9. Cats can survive the cold outside as long as they have plenty of food and fresh water to drink. Cats will seek a warmer place such as a barn or building to get out of the bad weather. If you do not have a barn or a building they can go into, provide a sturdy shelter on the porch out of the way of the weather elements and put in blankets or straw for them to crawl into with a smaller opening to help maintain their body heat. 10. Outdoor cats find warm engines the perfect place to find warmth during the cold winter months! To alert any cat that may be near your car engine, bang on your hood a few times before getting in and starting your car. 11. Antifreeze warning! This highly deadly product is fatal to dogs and cats if they find it and lick it! A very small amount can kill a pet! Check your garage floor and where you park your vehicle for any antifreeze that may be leaking from your vehicle and clean it up right away! 12. If you walk your pet on the road or sidewalks that have been treated with chemicals for de-icing the roads, check your dog’s feet before Fido starts licking his paws! Wipe out their paws with warm water to eliminate the chemicals that maybe in their paws. 13. Exercise your pet daily as this can also help with bringing up the dog’s body heat. But, when the temperature is extremely low, limit the exercise for “Fido” to conserve energy. Frostbite can affect the ears, eyes, paws, nose and areas of his/her body that does not have hair. So keep a watchful eye on “Fido” and “Kitty”. 14. You know your pet best, so be sure to keep a close eye on them and bring them in if they are exhibiting signs of being too cold. Monitor your pet closely to avoid any type of severe reaction to overexposure to cold such as hypothermia. Signs of hypothermia include: lethargy, weakness, shivering, muscle stiffness, difficulty breathing, and fixed and dilated pupils. Seek veterinarian attention too, if necessary, for the dog or cat that may be experiencing any of these symptoms.
Courthouse bell tower repair funding at issue By NANCY SCHAAR FPS Correspondent Carroll County Commissioner Jeff Ohler brought the matter of badly needed repairs for the courthouse bell tower at the Dec. 20 meeting. Ohler said the county needs the funds to take care of Phase I of the projects. Estimated costs for the total repair and renovation of the bell tower fall between $923,489 and $1,072,362 according to Perspectus Historical Architecture of Akron. The largest cost for this project would be the renting of cranes and other large pieces of equipment needed to reach to the top of the bell tower, running about $250,000. Commissioner Bob Wirkner said it is very misleading viewing the tower from the ground. The tower only has two levels that are visible from the street. The bell tower is actually five stories high. It sits on the courthouse roof, but the decorated roof edges hides the bottom three stories of the bell tower. Ohler said it would be best if we could rent the equipment needed just one time instead of twice for each phase of the project. The project was broken into Phase I and Phase II to split the cost for the county budget. Renting that equipment twice and paying that rental price twice just isn’t a good plan, said Ohler. It is estimated that $220,000 could be transferred to the permanent improvement fund.
There is also $300,000 in economic development that could be used for the project. Ohler believes there would be a huge cost savings to the county to do both phases of repairs at the same time. Discussion was held about the possibility of procuring bonds to pay for the project but Wirkner said he does not like the idea of encumbering future commissioners with a debt for future years. Ohler said that when project bids are received maybe they will not be as much as estimated. Commissioners will discuss financial possibilities with the county auditor after funds have been certificated for the end of the year. In other business, commissioners: - REPORTED on complaints of shooting at the shooting range recently. The agreement for the range stipulates that shooting may only be done during certain months of the year and times of day are restricted. Ohler said he would review the matter with the sheriff and police departments. - AUTHORIZED a special hauling permit with Barnhart Crane & Rigging on Bane Road to Aurora Road. - INCREASED mileage payment from .545 cents to 58 cents per mile. - APPROVED payment of $1,400 to the Ohio Power Company to move the light pole in the Second Street county parking lot.

Religious giving and tithing today Nonprofit organizations rely on the generosity of donors to help them meet their mission statements. Billions of dollars are donated to charities each year, but few people may know that religious organizations are among the biggest beneficiaries of Americans’ charitable largesse. According to data from the National Study of American Religious Giving and the National Study of American Jewish Giving, American households donated a median of $375 to congregations, $150 to religiously identified nonprofit organizations and $250 to secular charities in 2012. Various sources repeatedly state that those who identify as religious people are more likely to be philanthropic. That likelihood may be a byproduct of the tradition of tithing. Instituted in ancient times, tithing is a concept of giving 10 percent of one’s personal income to a religious organization. Because donors’ income was unlike it is today, centuries ago tithes often came as donations of produce and livestock. Tithing was compulsory within traditional Jewish law and practice, and Christians adopted the practice through Old Testament teachings. Tithing is mentioned in Leviticus 27:30, Numbers 18:26, Deuteronomy 14:24, and 2 Chronicles 31:5. While the New Testament does not recommend or demand tithing and only mentions that gifts should be “in keeping with income,” some religious groups continue to embrace tithing.

Many religious groups leave it up to the donors’ discretion with regard to how much to give when giving or tithing to their church.
Depending on the religious organization, adherents to a particular faith may be encouraged to tithe. But many religious groups now leave it up to donors’ discretion with regard to how much to give. Givers are encouraged to see where their donations go, and it is not without reason to ask for accounting from a church, synagogue or mosque to un-
derstand how donations are attributed. Many religious groups voluntarily publish this information in weekly bulletins. Individuals who plan to give to religious organizations can determine a donation figure that is within their means and adjust it accordingly through the years — giving out of feelings of purpose and not obligation.
Minerva Elementary recognized for success with behavioral program Minerva Elementary School has been recognized for their success with Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS). PBIS involves teaching students expected behaviors in a consistent and positive way, modeling and acknowledging those behaviors, and helping all students meet expectations and be successful.

Bird in Hand events set Experience the thrill of hand-feeding wild birds this winter at Beech Creek Gardens, Saturdays and Sundays throughout January and February, 12-3 p.m. Using a special blend of seeds and nuts, skilled volunteers coach visitors on how to hand-feed wild chickadees and tufted titmouse birds. The volunteers teach visitors where and how to stand, how to position their hand, and how to be still to help entice the wild birds to feed from their hand. Bird in Hand is an annual event organized by Butterfly House Director, Jim Nero, who also has a passion for training wild birds to hand-feed. “I love seeing the reactions of people when a bird lands on their hand for the first time,” said Nero. “The kids’ reactions are especially fun to watch, and we often hear
parents and grandparents say that they’ve never seen their kids stay still for as long as they do while they wait for a bird to land on their hand.” The bird feeding station is located in a wooded area beside the Caterpillar Nursery which is only a short walk from the Visitor Center. Visitors are most successful at hand-feeding the wild birds on colder days or when the ground is snow covered. “Most of us in our lifetimes will never have a bird land on our hand, so Bird in Hand is a really unique experience,” said Nero. “It’s also a great opportunity for families to do something outside in the middle of winter when there’s less outdoor activities.” Another fun part of the Bird in Hand event is the Caterpillar Nursery which transforms into
the ‘Play-Viary’ for the winter and is filled with fun and educational bird-related activities for children. Visitors will also enjoy a warm outdoor fire, hot cocoa, and marshmallows for roasting. In addition to experiencing Bird in Hand at Beech Creek Gardens, visitors can hike the woodland trails, engage with the Gravity Glue exhibit, and explore inside the Amazing Garden Plant Science Center. General admission is $5 per person for ages three and older. Beech Creek members and children ages two and younger receive free admission. For more information about Bird in Hand, visit www.beechcreekgardens.org. Beech Creek Botanical Garden & Nature Preserve is located at 11929 Beech St NE in Alliance, one mile east of state Route 62.

Reading a book is a simple way to add years to a person’s life and it can be done by reading as little as 30 minutes a day.
Simple healthy resolutions to make for the year ahead Many people see the dawn of a new year as the perfect time to implement changes that they hope will have positive impacts on their lives in the year ahead. New Year’s resolutions have a way of falling by the wayside as the year progresses, but sticking with the following healthy resolutions can have lasting impacts on the lives of men and women. • Read more. Many adults wish they had more time to read, but busy schedules filled with commitments to work and family can make it hard to pick up a book every day. But perhaps more men and women would find time to read if they knew doing so could add years to their lives. In an analysis of 12 years of data from the University of Michigan’s Health and Retirement Study, researchers at the Yale School of Public Health found that people who read books for as little as 30 minutes a day over several years lived an average of two years longer than people who did not read at all. • Sleep more. More time to sleep might seem like an unattainable goal for many men and women. But the National
Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute notes that ongoing sleep deficiency can increase a person’s risk for chronic health problems, including heart disease, kidney disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, and stroke. The American Academy of Sleep Medicine recommends adults age 18 and older get between seven and eight hours of sleep per night. • Turn off your devices. As recently as 15 years ago, many adults made it through their days without smartphones, tablets, e-readers, and other devices that are so prevalent today. While it might seem impossible to live without such devices in the 21st century, turning them off can have profound impacts on people’s quality of life. A 2013 survey of more than 1,000 people conducted by the resilience platform meQuilibrium found that 73 percent of respondents felt their devices contributed to stress in their lives. The American Psychological Association notes that stress can negatively affect the musculoskeletal system, the respiratory system and the nervous system and potentially increase a per-
son’s risk for heart disease and gastrointestinal problems. • Work less. Working fewer hours may help many professionals cut back on their stress, as the APA notes that 65 percent of Americans cited work as their primary source of stress. But working fewer hours may also make men and women more productive. A recent experiment funded by the Swedish government compared nurses at a retirement home who worked six-hour days on eight-hour salaries to a control group that worked the more traditional eight-hour workday. Nurses in the experimental group reported having more energy in their spare time and at work, which allowed them to do 64 percent more activities with facility residents. Nurses in the experimental group also took half as much sick time as those in the control group. As a result, the study’s authors ultimately concluded that productivity can increase with fewer hours worked. Committing to healthy New Year’s resolutions can have profound and unexpected consequences that can greatly improve one’s quality of life.
Foster grandparents sought to assist in area classrooms The Corporation for Ohio Appalachian Development’s Foster Grandparent Program is seeking volunteers to join and help children in Carroll County classrooms. Anyone who is 55 years of age or older and meets the program’s income guidelines can join the Foster Grandparent family of volunteers and earn a stipend for his or her time. This is not income and does not affect any income or benefits a person is receiving. The volunteers help the teaching staff in educational facilities,
such as Head Start programs, non-profit day-care facilities, public schools and developmental disability centers, by working one-on-one with children who are having difficulties with their daily tasks. This is arranged and supervised by the schools teaching staff. The volunteer is not required to have any background in education, just the patience to help a child and be willing to show his or her support of the child’s accomplishments. Volunteers also receive roundtrip mileage reimbursement to
and from the assigned sites in their local area, along with reimbursement of their time and mileage to COAD’s monthly meetings. A volunteer must be willing to serve a minimum of 15 hours per week, but can serve up to 40 hours per week. He or she will also earn paid holidays, vacation time, sick time and personal days while serving. Anyone interested may contact Kirk Guisti, coordinator of the COAD Area I Senior Programs Office, at 330-987-7232 or by e-mail at kguisti@coadinc.org.

Happy New Year to all of you! Are you excited or what!?! I am! We have a whole new year to start fresh. When you think about it, it›s like a clean canvas for an artist, or a clean sheet of paper for a writer. Why don›t we all work together to make 2019 the best it can be! When you think about it, if we all reach out to one another, we will be like a circle of friends... and a circle continues forever. The title of this book is rich in history. “KEEP CALM and CARRY ON” is also seen on coffee mugs, T-shirts, and office walls. The original motto was a slogan printed on thousands of posters to bolster British morale during the dark days of World War II. They were to be displayed on trains, buses, and store windows. The British people never saw the posters. The Information Office was saving them for a “crisis.” They were held for posting when German troops landed on English soil. The invasion never came. Sixty years later a bookseller found one of them in a carton of dusty volumes. He displayed it in his shop window and passersby were intrigued. Thus, the motto caught on everywhere. This

Tips on how to succeed with your New Year’s resolution While it is difficult to gauge just how many people make New Year’s resolutions each year, various factors suggest millions of people resolve to improve their lives each January. Television segments devoted to healthy resolutions and discounted memberships are just two of many indicators suggesting resolutions are popular and potentially big business. As popular as making resolutions may be, reports indicate that they’re more popular to make than commit to. For example, a 2015 report from U.S.
News & World Report indicated that 80 percent of resolutions fail. So how can men and women become part of the minority who see their resolutions through to fruition? The following strategies may help. • Plan on being patient. Men and women who expect immediate results may be in for some disappointment, and that can compromise their future efforts. Recognize that resolutions rarely produce overnight results, and that commitments to losing weight and saving more money take time. If necessary, set small goals that can serve as markers on your way to achieving the larger goal. • Be as specific as possible. In addition to being patient, being specific when deciding on a resolution can increase the likelihood that the successful pursuit of that resolution will have as positive an impact on your life as possible. For example, a nonspecific resolution to lose weight may be successful if you only shed a single pound. But men and women who resolve to lose weight typically want to lose more than one pound. By resolving to lose a predetermined and specific number of pounds, you might be more likely to commit to your goal, and more encouraged the closer you get to
achieving that goal. • Don’t be shy. Sharing your resolution with others is a great way to generate support for your pursuit. And that support can motivate you if you hit a rough patch and keep you on track as you progress toward your goal. By sharing your resolution with others, you are also indirectly inviting others who might have set similar goals in the past to offer incite and/or advice, which can prove invaluable. • Expect setbacks. Just like it is important to be patient, it is equally important to recognize there will be setbacks. Men and women who resolve to save more money and have set specific monthly savings goals should not allow one monthly shortfall to derail all of their efforts. An unforeseen expense, such as an automotive or home repair, might compromise your ability to meet your monthly savings goal. Such setbacks are inevitable regardless of your resolution, so don’t be discouraged when they happen. Just commit to getting back on track in time to meet your next goal. Successful New Year’s resolutions might be hard to come by. But there are ways to stay the course and see resolutions through to realization.

Board learns upgrades to Edison High School are nearly complete Construction work at Edison High School is nearing an end and could wrap up over the next few weeks. Supt. Bill Beattie updated the Edison Local Board of Education at its Dec. 20 meeting held at John Gregg Elementary School Dec. 20 on the latest upgrades at EHS. Beattie said the last piece of the puzzle was the installation of windows and that could occur soon. Windows were being replaced in the gymnasium and the school addition dating back to 1962 and officials said the latter portion was incomplete from a previous phase of renovations. “We’re in the final phase of it. The windows need to be installed and we’re hopeful that it could happen by the end of this year,” he said, adding that he was pleased to see the project coming to a close. “They have finished the front entrance and the new railing has been installed. We’re really happy and looking forward to winding up in the next couple of weeks.”
Brewer-Garrett Company of Cleveland was contracted as the design-and-build firm for the projects, which entailed expanding the music room area, moving the Vo-Ag classroom into the organization’s on-site building and renovating the woodshop to create a classroom, plus creating new woodshop and welding shop areas. Further upgrades occurred in the chemistry lab, which features new storage and work areas, while the assistant principal and guidance offices switched places and the handicapped-accessible entry leads to a secure vestibule area. Other work included updating the auditorium and additional wing with LED lighting and the projects were financed with general funding from both the current 5.9-mill operational levy and a 2.1-mill emergency measure passed around 2015. An estimated $6.2 million has been spent to improve EHS, John Gregg and Stanton Elementary while the latest phase at the high school was priced at
