Conotton Valley to construct $18m Rocket Center By DON RUTLEDGE FPS Staff Writer A new $18 million Rocket Center and NO more school property taxes for residents of the Conotton Valley Union Local School District! Unbelievable? But it’s true. Conotton Valley School Supt. Todd Herman says construction is expected to begin this summer on an 80,000 square foot building to be termed The Rocket Center at an estimated cost of $18 million. He explained financing for the project is coming from public utility property taxes being levied on the Rover Pipeline, which has 15 miles of pipeline across the Conotton Valley Union Local School District. Herman said the district is to receive $3 million this year and $4.4 million next year while the incoming revenue to the school district is expected for the next 40 years. “Consequently, the Board of Education has decided to discontinue two tax levies at the conclusion of 2019!”, the Superintendent said.
They include an emergency levy that generates about $500,000 per year and a permanent improvement levy that yields approximately $140,000 annually. The savings will be about $200 a year on a $100,000 property valuation, according to Herman. “You can see from the renderings (in accompanying photo) there will be something for everyone in our community,” Herman continued. The Rocket Center, to be constructed in front of the Conotton Valley school on state Route 212 is to include a health cli nic, fitness and wellness center and a connection to the current school building. Herman said the Conotton Valley School District is considering incorporating a new indoor pool into the Rocket Center to provide year-round programs and services not currently offered in the community. In addition to an eight-lane competition pool, the Rocket Center is to include fitness equipment and exercise studios, performance gymnasium and storage, elevated walking and running track and team and family locker rooms. Also included in the project are a six-

lane bowling alley, multipurpose and fitness rooms, daycare and preschool, senior center, media café, school kitchen and cafetorium, school band room and storage and a secure facility and access. The eight-lane competition pool will offer lap, open and family swimming, swim lessons and water safety education, swim fitness classes and water
aerobics, swim birthday parties and pool rental with the potential to offer competition swimming. The center will also include family locker rooms, upper level seating for viewing and will be free and low cost fees for taxpayers. “The Rocket Center will truly become the center of our community and it will be free for our taxpayers.
Our community has always supported this school and the CV Board of Education is committed to giving back!” he added. A public informational meeting to inform residents of the school district about the project is scheduled for this Thursday, Jan. 31, at 7:30 p.m. in the Conotton Valley High School gymnasium.
AEP Ohio offers tips for extreme cold weather The polar vortex is bearing down on a large swath of the United States and bringing extreme cold weather to Ohio. When the temperature drops, your home appliances may kick into overdrive, including heat pumps, gas furnace blowers and portable space heaters. These conditions can not only drive up your electric bill, but they can
be unsafe, too. Here are some key things to remember during the extreme cold. Being Efficient and Staying Warm
• Set thermostats as low as appropriate for staying healthy and comfortable. • Turn off lights and electric appliances that you don’t need or aren’t using. • Keep doors and windows closed as
much as possible, including overhead doors on attached garages. • Open curtains on the sunny side of the house to warm up your home. If there’s no sun, close the shades to keep warm air in. • Add door sweeps and weatherization strips to reduce outside air coming in. Cold Weather Safety • Take extreme care when using a
space heater. Place it at least three feet away from anything that can burn, including walls, and unplug it before you leave the room. • Never use a stove or oven to heat your home. • If you’re using a fireplace, use a glass or metal fire screen. Be sure it’s large enough to catch sparks or rolling logs. • Use generators correctly – never op-
erate one inside your home, including the basement or garage. • Guard against carbon monoxide poisoning. Make sure you have smoke and carbon monoxide detectors and that they are working properly and have fresh batteries.

Looking back 40 years after commissioners were arrested By KIMBERLY LEWIS FPS Editor Before President Donald Trump and the U.S. Congress tussled over the funding of a border wall, the Carroll County Commissioners had their own fight with Carroll County Common Pleas Probate and Juvenile Division Court Judge Patricia Anderson regarding an additional $13,284 to fund her court. “It is somewhat similar to the circumstances of today in Washington,” acknowledged Robert “Rock” Smith, then a 27-year-old, first-term commissioner in 1979. “We go through it every year. The elected office holder makes a budget request for the funding they want for the year,” Smith said. “It’s a request, nothing else.” In December 1978, Judge Anderson requested $54,068.22 for her 1979 budget, but the commissioners only appropriated $40,784, a deficit of $13,284.22. On Jan. 11, 1979, Anderson filed a judgement entry that the court “finds that certain items included (in the budget) have not been appropriated as ordered. The court further finds that no reason has been submitted to the court as to why the sums so requested for the proper operation of each division of the court have not been appropriated as ordered.” Anderson gave the commissioners until Feb. 1, 1979, to provide testimony or evidence to explain their decision. Commissioners Smith, Robert Kellogg and Dale Williamson declared they would rather go to jail than to appropriate additional funds for Anderson’s court. Not that they could, Kellogg and Smith noted. “We were always frugal,” explained Kellogg, then a 25-year-old, first-term commissioner. “For the 10 years prior, the county never raised taxes. The 1978 re-evaluation raised the value of property taxes and that didn’t happen,” he said. Smith noted the county Auditor Richard Walton would not have recertified the budget had they asked. “When we did the budget, the audi-

tor certies how much it is, but always holds some back in case the economy goes to crap. We did the best we could,” Smith explained. “We would have had to take the funds from someone else.” “We told her we would work with her at the end of the year if she needed the money, but we would not re-certify our appropriations budget,” Smith continued. “That was not good enough.” “We appropriated every dime we had,” Kellogg said. “There was no additional money, unless we took it from someone else. It was not fair to do that.” So on Feb. 1, the commissioners received subpoenas to appear in Anderson’s court. At the hour-long hearing, the three commissioners and the Auditor Walton testified. It had been reported the Revenue Sharing Fund had more than $88,000. Walton told Prosecutor John Heflin that “it has been a longstanding tradition that the county has had to subsidize the Revenue Sharing fund account and that it has not been a practice to use the Revenue Sharing money to augment the county’s general fund.” Smith noted he and Kellogg were in the third year of their first term. “We were familiar with the routine,” he explained. Williamson had just been elected, but his wife worked in the auditor’s office so he also was familiar with the routine.
Upon issuing her sentence, Anderson referred to a statement by Ohio Chief Justice Celebreeze, “American society is based on a system of law and penalties imposed are not just to punish, but also to show that all laws are to be honored. “As public officials, it is doubly imporant for you to uphold the law and to follow the strick letter of the law,” she told the commissioners. “... This has been an unnecessary waste of taxpayer’s money,” Anderson continued. “Therefore, since you have acted in contravention of the laws of this state, I find you to be in contempt of this court.” Anderson sentenced the commissioners to Carroll County Jail for 10 days and each was assessed a $500 fine plus court costs for failure to comply with a court order regarding the appropriation of funds for the 1979 operation of the probate and juvenile court divisions. Sheriff Dean Yeager escorted the commissioners to the women’s wing of the recently built county jail. Both Kellogg and Smith said they were not surprised to be behind bars. “We each had our own cell, but spent most of our time in the common area playing cards and things,” Kellogg recalls.

A former Minerva church was destroyed by a blaze Thurday, Jan. 24, as crews fought to keep the fire from spreading to a nearby church and business. Sandy Creek Joint Fire District responded to a call around 9:10 a.m. to find the second story of the former Harvest Christian Church, 204 W. High St., Minerva, in flames. The department was on the scene for two-anda-half hours and received mutual aid for more manpower from Great Trail Fire District, Carrollton, Louisville and Augusta fire departments. Sandy Creek Capt. Todd Earley noted the department used its ladder
truck, but requested Louisville’s as well because of the height of the church’s steeple. The church was one of the oldest in the village having served as the Church of the Nazarene for many years before becoming the Harvest Christian Church. The property is owned by Chris and Jayme Debo who had planned to renovate the church into a youth center and basketball training center. Clean-up crews were on site Friday, Jan. 25, starting to tear the damaged sections down due to safety concerns. Earley said the cause of the fire remains under investigation.

ARRESTS from PG. 1 And being interviewed. Kellogg said two reporters from area newspapers were allowed into the jail to interview the commissioners. The story about the arrests went viral and being featured in local, national and even international papers. “We got calls from the London Daily Mirror,” Kellogg said. “We joked that we hoped we would get to meet Johnny Carson from the ‘Tonight Show.’ It never happened.” The commissioners only spent 39 hours in jail. The public raised the approximately
$1,600 for the commissioners’ fines and court costs. Anderson would eventually get a portion of the money to cover expenses at the end of the year. State lawmakers would spend the next few years trying to pass legislation preventing similar incidents, but no laws would be passed. “It was an experience,” Kellogg said of the event. Kellogg served two terms as commissioner, before leaving to work two years for Ohio’s Department of Development. He served as the city manager of
Rittman before continuing to serve as city managers for two communities in Florida. He is now city manager for Palm City, Fla. Smith served as commissioner until 1996. “When I was first elected, the commissioners would meet one day a week. Then it changed to two. At the end, I was going in every day,” he said. Smith recently retired from Smith Piping Company. Of the incident, Smith notes, “It was a unique life experience, but not life changing.”

Year-End Reports
Free Press Standard | AREA & OBITUARIES
Sheriff’s Office sees improvements
By NANCY SCHAAR FPS Correspondent
Carroll County Sheriff Dale Williams has released his 2018 year-end report. Williams was pleased with the 3,729 hours of continued training that was completed in 2018 by deputies. 2018 improvements included new cruisers, new radios, NexGen 911 (to be completed in February 2019), acquired CPR/ AED equipment for employee training, implemented Psychotropic Drug Reimbursement Program, developed a “cost efficient” formulary for inmate medications and installed School Resource Officers in all Carroll County Schools and implemented extensive training making our schools safer. The Road and Patrol Division reported that road miles traveled by deputies were 228,883, which is up from the 187,174 miles driven in 2017. The total calls for 2018 were 4,844, up from 3,859 in 2017. 2018 saw 418 arrests over 341 arrests in 2017. Crash calls in 2018 were 414 over 346 in 2017. Williams said there was a decrease in incident reports in 2018 with 773 over 1,324 in 2017. Deputies responded to a total of 752 alarms in 2018, which included burglar, carbon monoxide, fire, medical alert, motion and panic alarms. This is a hike over alarm drops for 2017, which was 567. In the report of vehicular crashes in 2018, Williams was pleased that the county’s death rate dropped from six in 2017 to three in 2018. Injuries from crashes in 2018 were 66 with 100 recorded for 2017. There was only one reported suicide in 2018, two accidental deaths, and two overdoses. In 2017 Williams reported three suicides and five accidental deaths and three overdoses. Dispatch received 189,093 radio and telephone calls in 2018. In the jail division, total fees collected were at $44,573 in 2018. This includes commissary sales, work release fees, other agency housing, fingerprint fees, debt collection and more. Total arrest numbers were up from 2017. Those made in 2017 totaled 1,357 with 1,450 arrested in 2018. The detective division was kept busy with 289 total cases in 2018. This included sex related crimes, burglaries, breaking and entering and theft related crimes. Other investigations included arson, bombs, explosives and property damage. “The bad things, the fatalities, suicides, accidental deaths and overdoses are down but there are still too many,” said Williams. “We had a very good year. Our deputies are working very well together and working as a team, and that makes a difference in
our outcome,” continued Williams. Two of his biggest concerns are drug trafficking and the safety in our schools. Williams’ has a resource officer in each school building in the county. It took a lot of hard work and cooperation with the school districts to make that happen, according to Williams. Williams has been able to resolve, partly at least, the high cost of medications for inmates. Williams said there is a new program that will reimburse the county for those medications. It is one area Williams found frustrating and unpredictable with his budget. He said you never knew what medications inmates would need and whatever the cost the county had to pay for it. The jail is now allowed to use generic drugs instead of the name brands in many instances, which will save thousands of dollars for the county. Williams is looking forward to working with Common Pleas Court Judge Michael Repella as he establishes a new drug court for the county. Williams felt it will be a good addition to the county court system and improve treatment for those with addiction issues. Williams praised County Commissioner Bob Wirkner for his diligence in working with his department to meet the new mandatory standards for the NexGen 911 system that is to be implemented this year. Issues with the jail building itself will be addressed in 2019 with improvements to the jail with new windows, new lighting and new plumbing. Sticking to a tight budget and watching every penny is the only way to handle the finances of the Carroll County Sheriff’s Department, according to Williams. Williams was pleased that at the end of 2018, he was able to return to County Commissioners $22,462 to be placed in the general fund. Williams explained that there are so many unknowns in his budget that it is always hard to predict where the budget will end up by the end of the year. “We never know how many miles we have to drive, we never know what a gallon of gas is going to cost, we don’t know the medical needs of the inmates we house and we never know the repairs that our vehicles will need. There are just so many unknowns, but I do my best to anticipate the needs,” said Williams. One of the most important goals of the coming year for Williams is to emphasize school safety more than ever. The public, parents and grandparents need to know what to be aware of and what to watch for to keep our children safe. “By working together with the public and the schools we will be able to keep our children as safe as we can,” said Williams.
A total of 2,078 criminal and civil cases were filed in the Carroll County Municipal Court under Judge Gary L. Willen during 2018.

Sherrodsville resident wants town cleaned up By NANCY SCHAAR FPS Correspondent Joe Stull, a resident of City View Drive, addressed Sherrodsville Village Council about the condition of a neighbor’s home and property on City View Drive. Stull said he has tried to solve the problem nicely, but that is not working out. “There is a big SUV parked on City View and they will not move it. The snowplow scraped around it, but dug up Bill Wilkin’s yard,” said Stull. Stull said the neighbor constantly has dogs running loose and they poop in everyone’s yard and we have to mow over it or clean it up ourselves. Stull added there are junk vehicles and the home and yard are in a deplorable condition. “This used to be a nice town, everyone took care of their properties and had some respect and some pride,” said Stull. He questioned council members if they would like to live next door to someone like that and put up with the dogs and all the junk. Stull also felt there were a couple of other properties in the village that need cleaned up before the town is known as a slum district. Stull was advised by the Mayor and council that the village solicitor is working out an agreement with Roswell police to handle enforcement of ordinances in Sherrodsville and would help clean up the town. Michelle Higgenbotham was elected as president of council. Committees were named and
set for 2019. Discussion was held regarding the two vacant seats on council. Anyone that has lived in the village for at least one year is eligible. Anyone interested in serving may contact the mayor or village hall. A resolution to set rates of pay was approved. They are set as: council members $25 per month; Mayor $117 per month; Fiscal Officer $660 per month and $12 per hour as EMS Clerk; street commissioner $425 per month; EMS Coordinator $15 per hour up to 40 hours per month, and street department help $8.55 per hour. Mayor Ken Moffat opened two sealed bids for snow plowing services for the village. Todd Jones submitted a $75 call out fee and $75 per hour. Neighbor Dan’s bid was $100 for the first hour and $75 per hour plus $21.50 for 100 pounds of salt. Council approved the bid from Todd Jones. Moffat will meet with Jones to discuss the needs of the village and instruct him regarding the plowing requirements. In other business council: - WILL hold a Finance Committee meeting Feb. 18 at 6:30 p.m. prior to the regular meeting. - LEARNED that inventories of buildings are still being compiled. - HEARD that Fred Feik Jr. has donated a plot of land to the village.

The board welcomed new ztrustee Dr. Jennifer Beard. Dr. Beard and returning Trustee Diane Ruff were sworn in by Carroll County Common Pleas Judge Michael Repella. Board officers for 2019 are President Roger Bartley; Vice-President Dick Rutledge; and Secretary Virginia Birks.

Guest Column - Finding Your Ancestors By NANCY SCHAAR FPS Correspondent, Historian & Professional Genealogist
Knowing the formation of the state and the county’s where your ancestors lived is a very important part of finding your ancestors. For our own local area, Tuscarawas County was formed in 1808. It encompassed a much larger area than it does today. The eastern end of the county covered about one fourth of what today is the western parts of Harrison and Carroll counties. There were originally two more townships on the eastern side of Tuscarawas County. They were called One Leg Township and Dohrman Township. Dohrman Township covered parts of Harrison County. Harrison County was formed in 1813. The township was named after Henry Dohrman who received 23,000 acres of land from Continental Congress for helping American ships during the Revolutionary War. Dohrman’s grant was a six mile square tract made up of Township 13, Range 7 of the seven ranges. He was granted this land in 1787 long before Ohio was even thought of. Dohrman was a wealthy Portuguese merchant in Lisbon, Columbiana County. This encompassed the areas later known as Rush and Mill townships in Tuscarawas County. After township and county lines were more clearly defined, most of Dohrman Township was transferred as part of Harrison County. I have ancestors in Dohrman Township on the 1820 census. But on the 1830 census, the same people are now living in Washington Township, Harrison County. Until I learned some history about the development of the counties and the changes made in their boundaries over the years, I thought my ancestors had moved. But they did not move. The name of the place where they lived was changed. One Leg Township was named, from a legend, about a one legged Indian (Native American) that used to live in that area on One Leg Creek. That part of then, Tuscarawas County, was transferred into what became Carroll County. Once again, I had ancestors living in One Leg Township on the 1820 census. But on the 1840 census, they were then living in Monroe Township, Carroll County. Again, the ancestors never moved. Public officials simply changed the name of where they lived. As you search for your ancestors, you need to know the history of the area where they lived. It may very well give you a new place to search. When I was researching these ancestors from these two, now non-existent townships, I was puzzled as to why they were suddenly not in the county records such as deeds, wills, estates and more. I had to follow the trail of the records from one county to the new county that had been formed. The one set of great, great, great grandparents of mine,
John R. and Mary Elenor Beck Brown, baffled my Dad and I for years. We knew where they were born, we knew where they married, we knew where they lived their entire lives, but we hunted for more than 20 years for their burial places. We could not find them in any cemetery. We knew they died in Harrison County and lived near Freeport. We tramped through every cemetery we could find. We chopped brush, cleared away weeds and other assorted thickets to read names on long forgotten tombstones. And we found them by accident. It was just one of the many strange coincidences that happen in genealogy. A client of mine lived in another state and couldn’t travel here. But she wanted to see the place where her roots began in Ohio. I found her ancestors were buried in a church cemetery on a ridge above Freeport. My husband, Keith, went with me to find the graves and take photos of the tombstones and the old church. It was a beautiful setting high on a hill with one of the quaint churches I remember from my childhood. As we walked through the cemetery searching for her family headstones, I was looking ahead to other rows, and literally tripped over a fallen tombstone and landed on a grave. As I’m dragging myself up out of the mud, leaves, and cold earth, (it was December) I noticed the base of the tombstone said BROWN. I told Keith to remind me to look and see who that was before we left. We found the client’s tombstones, got photos for her, and as we were leaving Keith picked up the headstone that was flat on the ground. I could have hit the ground again when the stone read John R. Brown. And the stone beside him was for his wife, Mary Elenor Beck Brown. After 20 years of searching, we had finally found them. They weren’t in Harrison County, although that was where they lived all their lives. That sweet old church sat high on a hill with the folks from so many years ago buried within its shadows, but it was in Belmont County. It sat just across the county line. In the classes I teach, I always advise people to look around a grave of your ancestor. If one family member is buried there, you are almost guaranteed to find more of the same family. You will find children, brothers, sisters, more grandparents and be able to fill in a lot of blank spaces in your family tree. Following my own advice, John and Eleanor had four children buried with them. These children and their spouses and several more generations of their family were all together on that hill top. If you find yourself stuck and an ancestor seems to have disappeared. Remember to study the development of the county’s and townships in that area. They might not have moved either. But the name of the place where they lived was changed. If you have questions about your own family research or how to get started, please contact me at the Free Press Standard, P. O. Box 37, 43 E.

Lest We Forget By CAPT. CHARLES PEARSON
U.S. Marine Corps, ret. At the start of America’s involvement in World War I, our Black population’s willingness to serve was overlooked. W.E.B. Dubois, one of the most important champions of Black America in the early 20th century, argued that, “If this is our country, then this is our war.” America then began including their Black population and, as a result, more than 360,000 Black Americans served during World War I. They received new educational opportunities, in spite of segregation and friction. They were usually given non-combat jobs, such as menial working parties, cooks and etc. However, there were all-black combat units, such as the 369th Infantry Regiment, nicknamed the “Harlem Hell-fighters.” Army Sgt. Henry Johnson was
a member of this fine unit. On May 15, 1918, Sgt. Johnson and Pvt. Needham Roberts were manning an isolated post near Sainte-Menehould, France. They were suddenly attacked by a German patrol. Both were wounded, but Sgt. Johnson managed to kill one German and wound two others before his rifle jammed. He then leaped out of trench using his rifle as a club and a Bolo knife in the other hand. He came out screaming and slashing with his Bolo knife. His sudden frantic actions startled the remaining Germans and they fled the scene. His actions saved himself, the private and many others from being killed or captured. We should never forget all who risk their lives for their fellow man. Please keep all of them and their families in your prayers.
Charles Pearson is the chaplain for the Malvern Legion Post 375 and Carrollton VFW Post 3301.
Letter to the Editor Letter to the Editor:
I felt sick when I saw and read the story about Mocha. I will never understand how any human being could abuse and torture a little, innocent helpless dog, or any kind of animal. They can’t have any kind of conscience. Mocha, only two years old, probably was abused and tortured by this person her whole little life. Six months and $2,500 isn’t enough punishment for any low life committing this kind of crime. He should get at least 10 times that amount. Also a picture of Mocha should hang in his cell, so he can remember each and every day what he did to this poor little innocent dog. He should also be put in a cell with a couple of dog lovers who could teach him a lesson. I’m glad to see Sheriff Williams say he will treat it as criminal. I also thank Jason Cooke for having compassion on little Mocha and for giving her a cheeseburger. It was probably the best food she ever had. I’m thankful the suspect was caught before he hurt another animal. It starts out abusing animals with these kind of people then elivates on to other things. I hope and pray the suspect and people like him will never, never be allowed to be around any other dogs or animals again.

Sherry’s Book Corner Hello everyone! Spring is just around the corner! Really! It won›t be too much longer and the warmer temperatures will arrive and stay. Also, while I was planning ahead, I noticed daylight savings time will begin on March 10! Wow! We’ll have more time to spend outdoors. And... speaking about the outdoors, I found the perfect book for you this week about working on your own land if you haven’t been doing so already. As we travel around Carroll County we can see many new homes in our area. Many who came for the freedom of land and open skies. It was for you that I choose this week’s selection. I remember what it was like to live in a neighborhood filled with people. That is how I grew up as a child. We had a postage stamp size yard and we also lived next door to a church. But that was my home and I was happy. My mom had a beautiful rock garden on the side of the church parking lot. My dad made it for her. Wherever you live, or whatever size yard you

Minerva spoils Carrollton’s homecoming night with overtime win By CHRIS MODRANSKI
Sports Writer
The Carrollton Warriors boys’ basketball team found themselves down big coming out of halftime of their 2019 Winter Homecoming game Friday night against longtime rivals, the
Minerva Lions. The Warriors clawed their way back on their home court to force overtime, but Minerva held off the Warriors for the win. Minerva won the tipoff and senior Reece Catlett drained a three-pointer right out of the gate for the visitors. Minerva’s quick start seemed to stifle

the Warriors offense. The home squad moved the ball with plenty of speed and aggression but lacked quality shots. Minerva went on a seven-to-zero run until Carrollton Junior Adam Chaney was able to get the Warriors on the scoreboard when he found the bottom of the basket from the right wing with 3:38 left in the first quarter. On Minerva’s next possession Senior Brice Williams spun away from traffic in the paint and laid the ball in prompting Carrollton Coach Mike Aukerman to call a timeout. Carrollton’s only other score in the quarter came when Chaney grabbed an offensive rebound in the paint and put it back up and in. The first quarter came to an end with Minerva up 13 – five. Minerva scored four more points in 45 seconds prompting another Carrollton timeout so Coach Aukerman could make necessary adjustments. Coming out of the timeout Carrollton senior Conner King found senior classmate Drue Moore on the low post for two points. On the ensuing possession Chaney took a monster sized charge from Minerva’s senior Alex Kimble giving the Warriors possession of the ball. King missed a layup but Chaney was following him in the paint and was able to gather the ball and put it back in the hole. Minerva’s senior Taylor Lowmiller found himself unguarded at the top of the key and made the Warriors pay for their mistake as he drilled the three-pointer. Carrollton sophomore Gauge Poole received his first start on the Varsity squad and got on the scoreboard with a short jumper from the paint off of a dish from Moore. Minerva took a 15 point lead into the intermission with a score of 28-13. Carrollton’s Chaney and Moore came out in the second half with a mission to get the home team back in the game. Chaney drove the paint, made the layup and received an “and-1” foul from Minerva’s Kimble. Chaney’s foul
shout was a success. On the next play both Chaney and Kimble, who had been battling each other all night were assessed offsetting fouls. The next time Chaney had the ball he was driving into the restricted area and was again fouled by Kimble who picked up his fourth with 3:10 left in the third quarter. Chaney converted both foul shots cutting the Minerva’s lead to 11. Minerva missed their next shot and Carrollton’s Moore hit a sweet stepback from the elbow adding two more points. Minerva’s Catlett found himself wide open and drilled a jumper. Aukerman called another timeout and the Warriors were only down by 10 points. Chaney lost his first defender with a crossover and then spun into the paint connecting on a layup. The ball got loose from Minerva as they was bringing it up the floor and Moore, sacrificed his body, and dove onto the floor from a dead sprint gaining control of the ball and tossing it to Carrollton sophomore Jimmy Birong who scored a layup off the fast break. Carrollton was now playing with determination, intensity and pure Carrollton grit! Minerva still had a huge 10 point lead going into the final quarter but Carrollton had the mojo! Birong opened the quarter with a shot from beyond the arc and missed but had followed his shot and came crashing into the paint, retrieved his own rebound and laid it in while still in mid-flight. Moore was fouled on Carrollton’s next possession and converted on both foul shots. Minerva missed their shot and Moore received the ball in transition and drilled a threepointer from the right wing cutting Minerva’s lead to five and causing the packed house to erupt. Minerva Coach Shawn Green called a timeout to regroup his squad. Coming out of the timeout Chaney was fouled by Lowmiller and converted both foul shots cutting the visitors lead to three. Minerva scored a quick basket forcing
Aukerman to regroup his squad with 4:27 left in the game. Both teams went back and forth exchanging blows and collecting fouls for the next three and a half minutes. Carrollton’s Moore grabbed the Warriors first lead of the night on a very well defended threepoint shot that would have made Dick Vitale use his famous saying, “Are you kidding me? That’s awesome baby!” The lead didn’t stand for long as Catlett was fouled and converted both charity shots tying the game at 46. Moore hit a step-back jumper that brought everyone out of their seats. Chaney connected on two shots from the charity line giving Carrollton a 50-47 lead with 22.8 seconds left in the game. Minerva called a timeout to set up their final plans. Minerva inbounded the ball and burned up about a dozen or so seconds trying to get an open shot. Minerva’s Senior Phillip Boord dished the ball to Williams who drained a game-tying three-pointer with eight seconds in the game. As you watched that shot fall you could hear Mr. Cavalier Austin Carr say his signature line, “He’s got ice water in his veins!” Carrollton’s Chaney got a shot off at the buzzer but he was being tightly guarded by Boord and the shot failed forcing a 4:00 overtime period. Minerva took control of the overtime period from the get go to become homecoming spoilers and defeated the Warriors by a final score of 59 to 54. “Although the result was not what we wanted, man did the boys battle in the second half. After a rough first half of turnovers and missed easy shots, we came to play like warriors in the second half ” said Carrollton Head Coach Mike Aukerman. Chaney led all scorers with 27 points and 17 rebounds, Moore contributed 12 points, four assists and three rebounds and Jimmy Birong chipped in nine points, four rebounds and two steals.

Lady Warriors drop seventh game in a row; fall to 2-13 on the year By CHRIS MODRANSKI
Sports Writer
MINERVA - The struggles continue for the Carrollton Lady Warriors as they fell to the Minerva Lady Lions, 51-25, in an Eastern Buckeye Conference (EBC) game this past Saturday at Minerva High School. The Warriors, who fall to 2-13 overall and 1-6 in conference play, got off to a slow start against their longtime rival.
Carrollton was only able to get four baskets to fall during the entire game. Luckily the Lady Warriors were successful at drawing the foul and converting trips to the charity line for points or the final score would have been severely lopsided. Carrollton made nine trips to the foul line and went an astonishing 14 for 16 on the free throws. Abby Laizure led the Lady Warriors with 10 points, all coming from the foul line as she went 10-for-12. Malina Moore
contributed five points on two field goals while Grace Leslie scored four points. Minerva’s Nelle Yankovich led all scorers with 11 points while Ella Kendrick followed up with 10 points of her own. Elyssa Imler chipped in seven points for the Lady Lions. The Lady Warriors will play host to the Alliance Aviators on Saturday, February 2. The Varsity game will start at 12:00 PM. Junior Varsity will not play.
Carrollton looking to fill vacant varsity football head coaching position Carrollton High School in Carroll County is seeking qualified candidates for the position of Head Football
Coach. A teaching position will most likely be available as well. If interested, please email Athletic Director Jason Eddy at
jason.eddy@carrolltonschools.o rg with a letter of interest and an updated resume by February 15.

Beavers Marine Store to build on Atwood Lake By NANCY SCHAAR FPS Correspondent Beavers Marine Store will be coming to the shores of Atwood Lake this summer. They have been located near Magnolia for many years. Owner Neil Beavers said he is the third generation to own and operate the store. The store began with his grandfather, Merle Beavers, then his dad, Mark Beavers ran the store and now Neil has a new vision for the 87 year old business. The current store is located at 2045 Magnolia Rd. NW, Magnolia. The new store will be built along State Route 542 east of The Bluffs, formerly Atwood Lake Lodge. Construction is set to begin this spring and Neil
hopes to have Phase I completed by fall for the 100 by 200 feet storage building. “We need to move a lot of earth. We plan to do the whole project in phases. First will be to get the first storage building up, then we’ll add a second one in a year or so. I was raised here. I like to keep it all green but I will give options the area has not had before,” said Neil. The store building is expected to be about 60 by 80 feet. The storage building will have the capacity to store pontoons three boats high. Neil said he hears from customers that it’s hard to find a dock through MWCD (Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District) and for those that only use a boat a few times each summer or a few weeks at a time, what his store will offer
might be the perfect option for boat owners. The storage building will house up to 60 boats on each side. When a boat owner wants to use his boat, they simply call Beavers Marine and provide them with the dates the boat will be needed. Beavers will pull the boat, deliver to the site on the lake that the owner chooses and set a time to meet back with them at the end of the day, or weekend will also be pre-arranged. Beavers will meet them, and return the boat back to storage until it is needed again. When the entire business has been moved to the lake site, Neil expects to have 10 full time employees for the warmer nine months of the year and a staff of five to remain on through the full year.
FPS Photo / Nancy Schaar Employees of Beaver Marine Store are (from left) Laurie Davy, Luke Wilson, owner Neil Beavers, Mark Beavers, Tom Abel, Josh McMullen, and Todd Dingler. The store will move from its Magnolia Road location to state Route 542 this summer.
New and used boats will be available for sale as well as supplies, equipment, and other boating needs. Alumacraft, Bennington, Yamaha and other outstanding brands, both
new and used will be available. Service is available by their service personnel and support for whatever your boating needs may be. Members of the current crew
are mostly family members but it’s been that way all along. His grandfather, his dad, mom, and other members of the family all pitch in with the areas of the business they specialize in.

Research suggests that one of the most important factors in healthy child development is a strong, open relationship with a parent or trusted caregiver. Committed to supporting local youth, Coalition for a Drug Free Carroll County is pleased to launch the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration’s (SAMHSA) “Talk. They Hear You.”® campaign in Carroll County. Working together, communities will now have access to campaign materials and to help equip parents and caregivers with information, skills, and confidence to talk with youths about the dangers of underage drinking and substance use. According to the National Survey on Drug Use and Health, alcohol continues to be the most widely misused substance among our nation’s young people. Other drugs, such as marijuana and prescription pain medication, are also prevalent among youths. Carroll County is no different. In our community, research shows 44% of youth surveyed in Carroll County Schools had drank at least one alcoholic beverage in the thirty days prior to the survey (Youth Risk Behavior Survey 2015). The “Talk. They
Hear You”® campaign is helping to address this by encouraging and supporting parents’ commitment to talk with their children about the risks of alcohol and other drugs. “The benefits of reducing underage drinking and substance use are substantial, including saving lives and promoting the health of young people,” said Robert Vincent, SAMHSA official. “The ‘Talk. They Hear You.’® campaign’s goal is to provide parents and caregivers with the resources they need to address the issue of alcohol and other drugs with their children under the age of 21.” Frank Copeland, chairman of the Coalition for a Drug Free Carroll County, said, “Our aim is for the priority audience (parents/adults/caretakers of youth) to adopt and sustain a specific behavior, regular and frequent conversation (family communication) with youth about the use of alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs (ATOD’s). This strategy was selected to address our local condition of low family communication around drug use/abuse. Our messaging will include information/education for parents to communicate with youth about their disapproval of using alcohol under-
age. The campaign will increase parent/adult knowledge and skills to have these conversations, and the importance of these conversations. These conversations need to happen more frequently between adults and youth. SAMHSA’s “Talk. They Hear You.”® campaign is a national media campaign made up of parent resources such as fact sheets, brochures, infographics, and public service announcements that air nationally. The campaign has historically equipped parents with the knowledge and skills to increase actions that reduce and prevent underage drinking. Recently, it has expanded its messaging to include other substances such as marijuana and prescription drugs. The campaign now offers resources to assist parents in talking with young children about other drugs, beyond alcohol. For more information about “Talk. They Hear You.”® and how parents can help prevent underage drinking and other drug use, visit www.samhsa. gov/underage-drinking. Coalition for Drug Free Carroll County http://adc-carroll.com
