RTIP Committee is encouraged by state support for US 30

Encino Energy presented Carroll County Sheriff Dale Williams with $15,000 that was pledged to help purchase a drone for use in the sheriff’s department. Attending the presentation are (front, from left) Commissioners Robert Wirkner and Jeff Ohler; and (back) Brian Klin, Environmental Supervisor for Ohio Operations; Jackie Stewart, Director of External Affairs; Dave Edwards, Director of Environmental Health and Safety; Sheriff Dale Williams; Jon Moreland, Lease Operator II and grandfather to Jonathan Minard and Greg Butler, Health and Safety Supervisor for Ohio Operations of Encino.

Carroll County Commissioner Robert Wirkner announced Thursday that the RTIP (Rural Transportation Improvement Project) for U.S. Route 30 has received both written and financial support from the state.

Wirkner was informed by the Ohio Department of Transportation that an announcement will be made on Nov. 6 that will grant $500,000 to the RTIP committee for a complete detailed design for this fiscal year. This design will include plans to relocate U.S. Route 30 from Trump Avenue to state Route 44.

The state also plans to announce on Nov. 6 that the RTIP will receive $1.5

million for the next fiscal year.

“This will move the Trump Road to SR 44 project forward,” said Wirkner.

“People are asking me why I support this project. It is three things. It is health, safety and commerce. We are a county without a 24-hour healthcare facility. Minutes can count in a lifesaving emergency,” he said.

“As for safety, with funding and construction and expansion of U.S. Route 30 into a four-lane highway, experts from ODOT say accidents could be reduced by a significant number. Concerning commerce, this expansion would create economic development when the project is completed,” said Wirkner.

According to Wirkner, Marathon has indicated they want to expand and give better access to the wells in Wellsville.

Commissioners look Encino Energy donates $15,000 at year-end funds toward purchase of drone

By NANCY SCHAAR FPS Correspondent

By NANCY SCHAAR FPS Correspondent Carroll County Sheriff Dale Williams, along with Carroll County Commissioners, was happy to accept a very large sized check from representatives of Encino Energy last Thursday, Oct. 17.

They also received a regular check they can take to the bank.

The donation of $15,000 was pledged to Williams for his campaign to raise funds to purchase a specialized drone to be used in his department. Encino Director of External Affairs Jackie Stewart had told Williams if he could raise the rest of the $38,000 needed to purchase the drone, Encino would donate the last $15,000.

Stewart kept her word and Williams has been able to raise the balance of funds needed from local businesses and supporters.

The donations received are: Commissioners $10,000, Carroll Electric $5,000 and the Carroll County Eagles $1,500. Those that contributed $1,000 were McFadden Insurance,

Pete Slates, Coley’s Stag and C. Pearson. More donations came from Kathy Ketchum, Kapeleski/Miller/Hepner, Karen Keller, Dodds Funeral Home, Potsy, Bryan Cole, David Lumley, S. Sauer and Lumber Service.

The drone is specially designed for use by law enforcement officials. Four deputies have been chosen and will receive company training to learn how to use all the features of the drone. Training costs are included in the drone purchase price.

“Every dollar is appreciated so much.

I can’t thank the community enough for helping us get the drone. It will help us save lives and keep people in this county safer,” said Williams.

“This is the best part of what we do.

This will have an impact in a positive way where we live and where we work.

We have worked with commissioners and the sheriff to make this happen. This is another great example of partnering with the community,” said Stewart.

“We have a lot of wells and facilities in this county. A lot of sheriff departments have been using drones. They are used for lost people, hunters that need help, drug intervention and find-

ing drug traffickers and many other things. We borrowed the one Tuscarawas County Sheriff’s department has.

It helped us in the search for 14-yearold Jonathan Minard in April of this year. We appreciated it so much and it made a difference in the search and the investigation,” said Williams.

Those in attendance from Encino Energy were Brian Klink, Environmental Supervisor for Ohio Operations; Dave Edwards, Director of Environmental Health & Safety; Jon Moreland, Lease Operator II and Greg Butler, Health & Safety Supervisor for Ohio.

Moreland is the grandfather of Jonathan Minard. Encino helping with this particular project meant a great deal to Moreland and his family. Jonathan’s body was found a week after he was reported missing. Charges have been filed against a local man following the investigation.

Stewart asked everyone attending to please honor Jonathan with a moment of silence.

Williams said the order for the drone will be put in immediately and his department is anxious to receive the new equipment and put it to work. He said he believes it will make a difference.

Carroll County Commissioner Bob Wirkner advised that he is sending a letter to all department heads and elected officials.

“We are sound and stable. We will be able to meet most of the requests that have been made by the departments.

As for a 3% raise increase for employees, that will depend on how much un-appropriated funds for 2019 can be placed into carry over for 2020,” said Wirkner.

If the departments are able to return unused funds to the commissioners, Wirkner feels the 3% raise will be affordable. If all funds are used by the departments this year, it leaves raises in question, according to Wirkner.

“If you look at the general fund budget right now, it looks good. But it is misleading. $1.6 million is set aside to pay for the repairs to the clock tower and the county jail. There is also

$389,000 included that was received from the state for the new voting machines,” continued Wirkner.

Wirkner explained that those funds make the general fund look great but those funds cannot be used for anything else. “All you see is not what is available, but we will consider the 3% raise,” stated Wirkner.

Carroll County Health Department Commissioner Dr. Wendy Gotschall and Office Administrator Amy Campbell thanked commissioners for the work that has begun on the parking lot of the health department building.

Gotschall explained that an issue has developed with the backup generator at the department and that it needs reset on a concrete pad.

Campbell updated commissioners regarding the $20,000 cost for the required community health assessment.

“We sent requests out to the community and have received $18,500. We

Thursday, October 24, 2019 FUNDS from PG. 1 still need $1,500 and hope that commissioners can help meet the cost,” said Campbell.

Commissioners had previously said if there was a small difference between what the department had collected, they would consider filling in the final amount needed. Commissioners agreed that can be done and they can transfer that money through a grant from their funds. That request was approved.

Director of Nursing Kelly Englehart told commissioners that she is working with Dr. Quattrochi, Carrollton Schools Superintendent, to create a school based health clinic. The department would be staffed with a nurse who can administer prescribed medication as needed to students, and many other tasks.

In other business commissioners: - APPROVED bond releases for Rosebud Mining in Section 26 of Rose Township and Dayton Excavating & Repair Services, LLC for the completion of Project A. - LEARNED the health de-

partment had hired a new environmental specialist and a new sanitarian.

- WAS advised that Susie Frew will retire from the health department November 12. She will be replaced by Caitlyn Mathews. Myra Pancher has also retired. Two employees have left to work at Tuscarawas County health department for higher pay. Gotschall said they are in the process of doing wage-analysis for these positions.

- LEARNED that the health department is almost finished with the 2019 forecast year end budget and will be able to project the carry over for 2020. The 2020 budget is done pending a review of a few new programs.

Wirkner stated the commissioners truly appreciate the health department’s diligence with the work on their budget and reporting of all funds.

Canton man killed in two-vehicle crash A Canton man was killed in a two-vehicle accident at the intersection of state Routes 9 and 171 (Cobbler Road) in Washington Township Wednesday, Oct. 16.

911 received the first call at 5:42 p.m. that two vehicles had crashed at the intersection. According to the Carroll County Sheriff’s reports, a Chevrolet Uplander van driven by Dorman Ixos, 64, of Canton, was eastbound on state Route 171 when he pulled into the path of a Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck traveling southbound on state Route 9 and driven by Craig J. Henry, 35, of Carrollton.

Carroll County Sheriff Dale Williams said the pickup truck collided with the van and both vehicles came to rest in the field on the southeastern side of the

intersection.

Williams said Ixos was pronounced dead on the scene by Carroll County Coroner Dr. Mandal Haas. Henry was not injured.

A passenger in the Ixos van, Linda Ixos, 51, was found sitting outside of the vehicle when first responders arrived. She was transported to Mercy Hospital where she was reported in stable condition on Thursday, Oct. 17.

Williams said the accident remains under investigation. Investigators are uncertain at this time whether seat belts were in use, but noted there was no indication of drug or alcohol use as being a factor in the crash.

Responding to the scene were deputies, Carrollton Fire Department, EMT and Quad ambulance.

Carrollton Police Reports Oct. 8 – A resident on Park Avenue was working on his car, when it rolled down the drive, crossed the street and hit a tree.

Oct. 9 – A Carrollton woman was stopped at the top of the square impeding traffic. An officer advised her to move but she declined. As the woman exited her car she dropped things on the ground. Pink round pills were in plain sight and on the ground. They were oxycodone.

She claimed they belonged to her sister. She was charged with possession of a controlled substance, traffic violations and taken to the Carroll County jail.

Oct. 10 – A Mace Road, Carrollton, man was stopped by police and informed them he had a weapon in his vehicle he had received from his uncle.

The man got out of the vehicle as instructed and was then charged with receiving stolen property and having a concealed weapon.

Oct. 14 – Police pulled over a Fresno Road man for driving in the center lane on Canton Road.

The 71 year old had a strong odor of alcohol and an open bottle of Kessler whiskey visible on the seat. The man admitted he had a couple, then said he had a drink. The man put his hands on the officer’s shoulders and they were removed and he was told not to do that again.

Sobriety tests were performed but the man did not pass any of them. The man was told he was going to jail and he argued with and became aggressive towards the second officer. He placed his hands on this officer as well and was instructed to remove them. As the man was cuffed, he struggled and received cuts on his wrists and forearms.

He was treated at the jail. The BAC he blew was .83. He was charged with resisting arrest and driving offenses.

Oct. 14 – Police questioned a Maple Street, Sherrodsville, woman after a Canton Road business reported she was viewed on video leaving with clothing items she had not paid for. The woman claimed she had paid for the items but had no receipt and that action was not found on the surveillance recording.

Oct. 15 – A Main Street resident was charged with criminal damaging following a domestic

incident when the man butted his head against the police car and damaged the car. He was taken to the county jail.

Oct. 16 – The manager of a store on Lisbon Street called police after someone backed into her vehicle in the parking lot. Surveillance footage revealed the other driver backed directly into her vehicle and left the scene. Officers located and spoke to the driver who was unaware she had hit anything.

Oct. 19 – A Canton Road business owner challenged four visitors who were visiting the business next door to his business. Police had no reason to force the four vehicles to be moved. The property owner became quite upset and with police videotaping the incident, he emptied a trash can on the trucks. The can contained hot cocoa powder. Police advised the man if parking is an issue he needs to have the lot surveyed and a barrier placed between the parking spaces. The truck owners contacted police later saying that when they turned on the vehicles the powder blew throughout the air system and were concerned about damage to their engines. Police advised to have the vehicles checked and to retain the receipts.

Accident Reports The Battle of the Bumpers was a popular sport last week as police charged five drivers after incidents in which they hit the rear end of the vehicle in front of them.

On Oct. 10, a 16-year-old boy hit a Kensington Road woman’s vehicle while at Moody Avenue and Third Street.

On Oct. 11, an Amsterdam man rear ended an East Sparta man’s vehicle.

Also on Oct. 11, a Lincoln Avenue man rear ended a North High Street resident’s vehicle that was parked.

On Oct. 12, a Clark Avenue, Canton, man was rear ended by an unknown driver that left the scene after hitting the rear end of the trailer he was pulling causing major damage.

And on Oct. 17, a driver was rear ended while stopped on Canton Road waiting to make a left turn into Dollar General Market. The Minerva man said he did not see the truck that was stopped on the road.

Status of Sherrodsville’s EMS service remains unknown

By NANCY SCHAAR FPS Correspondent Sherrodsville Council member Lila Booth questioned village solicitor J. J. Ong regarding the process to disband the EMS service in the village. Ong explained that a plan needs to be in place for those services before the village disbands the service.

Ong reported that he or the village have not received any further communication from Regional Transport Director Joel Decker.

“The ball is in his court. He has been told multiple times to submit his plan for services to the village in writing. We have received nothing,” said Ong. Council member Jay Vaughn asked for confirmation that Regional is covering the village at no cost to the village residents through the end of the year.

Ong again said the village has no binding agreement or contract with Decker’s company.

Ong said Decker’s comments regarding no service after the first of the year or what he would be charging the village seemed like a threat.

Lest We Forget

By CAPT. CHARLES PEARSON

U.S. Marine Corps, ret.

POW Camp B-5 in Japan was a hodgepodge of prisoners from all the allied forces in the Far East.

The camp commandant was unusually tall and big-boned for a Japanese. He wore thick black horn rimmed glasses and was known by all of the prisoners as “Four-eyes.” His vile temper and sadistic leaning earned him the rueful respect of the prisoners and of the guards to whom he was equally unpleasant.

Four-eyes took special pleasure in six chickens in an enclosure behind his quarters. Almost every morning he would begin his day by going into the chicken house, collecting the eggs and speaking affectionately to his brood. They were probably the only creatures he had ever actually loved.

George Francis (whom I wrote about last week) and another prisoner, Kenneth Cambon (a Canadian doctor) decided that they would like to eat one of those chickens, something that they had not eaten in over four years. They talked about the consequences if they were caught and decided it was worth it. At least they would die having one last good meal.

It was a warm, humid and cloudy August night. There had been a noisy party in the commandant’s quarters, so they could count on him and a good part of the guards to be somewhat less alert. No lights were allowed because B-29 raids had been pounding Japan for some months. The plan was for Kenneth to distract the guards, while George weaseled in to steal the chicken.

Waiting until everyone was asleep, they slipped out of their quiet hut. Kenneth ducked behind the kitchen, being care-

ful not to arouse the cook. He pulled a home-made slingshot from his pocket with some smooth pebbles and took aim at the bell that rang when someone tried to escape. Bong!!

It sounded and both guards took off running for the tower. Kenneth ducked into the latrine, ran out the back to the chicken house just in time to see George emerge with a chicken under his arm. They snuck into a room used as a first aid dispensary that contained an electric sterilizer. They plucked and cleaned it carefully, putting all the feathers and innards in their hats. While George boiled the chicken, Kenneth took the innards and buried them behind the guard’s barracks and then spread some of the feathers around on top of the loose ground.

After boiling the chicken, they attacked their prize. Nothing ever tasted so good. They ate the whole bird, sucking the bones dry. It was ecstasy. They both then snuck back into their barracks before everyone woke up. They did not dare tell anyone for fear of what would happen. They waited.

Four-eyes didn’t notice his loss for two days. George and Kenneth suffered in silence. On the third day, Four-eyes discovered he only had five chickens and all hell broke loose.

He noticed the feathers behind the guards barracks, so he lined up his own guards and worked them over one by one by slapping them around and beating them with a long stick as they vainly tried to stand at attention. Apparently, Four-eyes didn’t think it possible that a prisoner could be the culprit.

As you say your daily prayers, please remember all of our service personnel including POW’s and MIA’s.

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

Bob Alsept; Scott Minor, Buckeye Career Center Behavior Management Specialist/In-School Suspension instructor; Mike Travis, a TCCSC representative, and Sherry Cardani, the Superintendent’s secretary who spearheaded the BCC collection along with Minor.

Buckeye Career Center staff donates hog and funds to church food pantry Buckeye Career Center (BCC) staff recently donated a processed hog and $321 to the Twin City Christian Service Center (TCCSC) to benefit the church’s food pantry.

The donation was made possible by an annual donation drive by BCC staff members, who include teachers, support workers, administration and others. This year, the group raised $1,221 and used $900 of that money to purchase a hog at the 2019 Tuscarawas County Fair. The hog was exhibited by BCC Ag. & Diesel/Commercial Truck senior Carter White of Claymont High School. The 225-pound hog was processed

by Buckeye Career Center’s Meat Cutting lab and instructor Scott Ripley. The remaining money will be used by TCCSC to purchase food for those in

need.

TCCSC representatives Carl Sowers and Mike Travis stopped by BCC to pick up the donation Oct. 14. Sowers, who coordinates food donations, explained that they will be able to provide 150-300 meals with the meat and even more food, thanks to the cash donation.

“For every dollar that’s donated, four meals are created. We will be able to provide 1,200 meals with this donation,” explained Sowers. “We go to the Akron-Canton Regional Foodbank to buy our food and we get more bang for our buck there,” said Sowers.

The BCC collection was spearheaded by Buckeye Career Center Behavior Management Specialist/In-School Suspension instructor Scott Minor and the Superintendent’s secretary Mrs.

Minor collected cash donations and bid on White’s hog at the 4-H Junior Fair Auction. “Tuscarawas County does a great job of supporting our kids. It is an awesome feeling to know we have purchased a hog, through privately donated funds,” said Minor.

White also appreciates that his animal is benefiting multiple people. “I like that the hog is going to people who need something. It helps the community and it means a lot to me,” said White.

BCC staff members raised $140 more this year compared to the 2018 collection drive.

The fundraiser benefits a different charity each year, with last year’s proceeds going to Authentic Church’s ‘Blessings in a Backpack’ program.

Awesome Possum to perform Oct. 26 at the Bridge The area’s most loved bluegrass band will present an Awesome Possum concert at 6:30 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 26, at the Bridge, located in the Rosebud complex at the Carroll County fairgrounds on North Lisbon Street (state Route 9) in Carrollton.

The event is free and open to the community with light refreshments provided.

Did you ever have to do something you didn’t want to do? Of course, you have! It’s a part of life.

Nevertheless, one of the ways to a life filled with joy is to quit dwelling on the negative moments and focus instead on the positive ones. Jesus taught us to trust God and be confident that the difficult moments will pass, and peace will fill our lives.

He wasn’t just taking about annoying moments but truly difficult tasks. Jesus taught, “But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.” That is certainly not something we want to do.

On the other hand, that is what our Lord taught us to do and when we obey Him we discover a deeper joy. We do what the Lord teaches because we trust him. Jesus also taught, “If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also.” Who wants to do that? Well, whether we want to or not, we must trust in the Lord and be obedient. It is not always easy, but it is what is expected of us.

I remember as a child being told we were going to grandmas. I hardly ever wanted to go. It was an hour’s drive and I was having fun at home. But I had no choice. I would whine and complain all the way there, but once we arrived, I had fun and I would play until I was exhausted.

If I had just trusted my mom when she said I’d have fun, it would have been even better. There are times when the teachings of Jesus seem too hard, but if we trust, we will discover Jesus knows best.

Then it was time to come home from grandmas, I would lay down in the back seat of the car. (This was before seat belts!) I didn’t know where I was, but I knew my dad knew the way and because I trusted him, I would fall asleep. When we got home, dad would carry me up to my bedroom and tuck me in.

The next morning, I would wonder where I was, but then it dawned on me that my dad took me just where I needed to be.

That’s God! If we trust and put ourselves in His hands, even in the most difficult times, eventually God will get us to where we should be. We read in Proverbs, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight.”

Southern Local students Natural Resources Assistance Council seeks to fill three seats learn in relaxed café Seventh and eighth-graders at Southern Local Jr. High School have a unique way to learn by incorporating high-tech tools and a more relaxed atmosphere through the ELA Café.

The concept was started by English/Language Arts teacher Brett Hughes this past year and alters the educational format by putting the student in charge of their projects.

Hughes whipped up an intriguing menu of lessons which fall under the categories of appetizer, entrees, desserts and midnight snacks and they are interactive and easily accessible via Chromebook or smartphone.

Lessons are designed in Google Form and students use a wide variety of software to show their understanding of writing concepts such as Sutori, ThingLink, Book Creator and more.

“They have a weekly menu and the appetizer is a daily language review,” Hughes explained. “The three main entrees can carry them through the week and include two Google drawings to show how they understand and learn concepts.

This is where they help each other out. The dessert is an exit ticket where we get feedback.

Once a week they get a midnight snack with a Flipgrid to record a 90-second video and answer questions,” he explained.

Additionally, pupils can partake of an eight-part salad where they focus on types of sentences, make Google posters and take a test and quiz. Students may use their smartphones if they are absent and projects also utilize Pear Deck Vocabulary programs to create vocabulary flashcards.

One of Hughes’ classes published their flashcards to the in-

The Ohio Public Works Commission (OPWC) District 14 Natural Resources Assistance Council (NRAC) seeks to fill three vacant council positions.

The first two positions are open to those individuals fulfilling the requirements of any of the five groups represented below from within the OPWC District 14 jurisdiction of Carroll, Columbiana, Coshocton, Guernsey, Harrison, Holmes, Jefferson or Tuscarawas counties in Ohio.

The third position must be filled by an individual representing “Group 3” from within the District 14 jurisdiction.

The NRAC reviews and recommends Clean Ohio Green Space projects within its district jurisdiction for funding.

“Group 1” representatives are defined as a county, municipal corporation, township, conservancy district, regional or joint district or unit of local government, or regional or joint polit-

ternet and were ultimately used at another school in California.

Hughes also restructured the classroom to make it more conducive, and gone are the traditional desks in favor of repurposed tables from the library where his students work in a more casual fashion.

“I wanted to switch up to alternative seating,” he said, adding that lessons could be accessed at school or at home at any time.

“We’re open 24/7. All of the students have access to the curriculum through their smartphones and online, so it’s a paperless classroom.

They can sit anywhere - on the floor or at a table. I find that when students are comfortable, they learn better, they create better and they are successful,” he noted.

Hughes said much of the work will entail creating projects throughout the year, but the class dynamic will change.

“After the first of the year, this

class will be running itself and I will be a facilitator. It’s powered through Google Classroom and is a comfortable place for the kids to learn.”

Students work at their own pace and Hughes said the objective was creative learning.

Hughes even utilizes the Screencastify program that allows him to give video-based lessons when he is not in class.

“At the end of the school year, we’d made gains on Language Arts tests since this was introduced. The students are all engaged with their work and they are talking about what they are doing and it makes them feel good. I’m going to see gains in their work,” he concluded.

“Every professor I’ve had has always said, ‘The more you can get them to create, the better the classwork is.’ This is where the world is going. The days of pencil and paper are slowing going away, in my opinion,” Hughes added.

ical subdivision that is located within the geographical jurisdiction of the appointing integrating committee.

“Group 2” A conservation organization, an environmental advocacy organization, an organization with a primary interest in watershed protection and restoration, the department of natural resources, the environmental protection agency, or the United States natural resources conservation service.

“Group 3” representatives are defined as a city park system or metropolitan park system or a board of park commissioners from a county that is located within the geographical jurisdiction of the appointing integrating committee, a statewide parks and recreation organization, or the United States national park service.

“Group 4” representatives are defined as a statewide organization representing agriculture,

an organization representing forestry interests, the department of agriculture, or the United States department of agriculture.

“Group 5” representatives are defined as an organization representing business, local Realtors, or a planning agency, including a port authority, located within the geographical jurisdiction of the appointing integrating committee.

Nomination forms may be requested via email at trinaw@ omegadistrict.org, or by calling Trina Woodland, NRAC 14 Liaison, at the Ohio Mid-Eastern Governments Association, 740439-4471, ext. 201. A nomination letter from a recognized entity within the five groups listed above and a resume of the nominee’s qualifications must be attached to the nomination form.

Nominations will be accepted by the NRAC 14 Liaison until Nov. 30.

Retired teachers hear about exchange student’s experiences Carrollton High School’s exchange student Asier Berreteaga Gayubo was the speaker at the Oct. 18 meeting of the Carroll County Retired Teachers Association (CCRTA) held at the Carrollton Bible Chapel.

Gayubo compared his educational experience in Spain to his experience now in Carrollton and answered several questions from the audience.

By good fortune, one of the young women serving the dinner had been a previous exchange student from Italy and

graciously added her comparisons.

During the business meeting, Joyce Ferguson, the CCRTA treasurer, was appointed to serve as the CCRTA’s representative on the Carroll County Foundation Board.

Members who volunteered at the 49th Algonquin Mill Fall Festival shared their experiences and Kendra Burger of the Ohio Retired Teachers Association regional liaison, gave members her card and the ORTA’s new address.

Rose Seck and Darlene Smith were re-elected for two year terms as president and vice president, respectively. Committee reports were given by Darlene Smith, Dora Mae Sutton, Earl Ferguson and Donna Spahr.

Members gave suggestions for locations, speakers and a theme for meetings in 2020.

CCRTA meetings will resume in April and all active and retired teachers in Carroll County are welcome and encouraged to attend for information and fellowship.

Sherry’s Book Corner Hi kids! Wow! Do I have some spooky stories for you to read this week. Just in time for the Halloween season!

I’m sure many of you have read some books written by Mary Downing Hahn. This past spring, we went to visit our granddaughters and Ada thought I might enjoy reading this book.

I must say... it is very interesting. Actually it is 3 books in 1!

I might add, you might want an extra light on as you read...

Oh, and something else, you’ll want someone close by, you know, in another room just in case. Or who knows, you may want them to be in the same room so you are not alone. That’s up to you. You’ll know what to do once you start

Oh... I almost forgot, you want to make sure all your doors are locked. And to be on the safe side, why not turn on the outside porch lights for extra safety. Ask your mom and dad, I’m sure they won’t mind. They may even want to read these stories with you!

Minerva boys, girls cross country teams sweep district championships

Members of the District Championship winning Minerva boys cross country team include (from left): Coach Evan Crawford, Head Coach Olivia Scott, Brandon Davis, Kyle Hudson, Jack Spall, Nick Bledsoe, Connor Shingleton, Ben Brady, John Fink, Jacob Wollman, Drew Spall and Coach Frank Monk.

Members of the District Championship winning Minerva girls cross country team include (from left): Front row - Kenzie Fountain, Beth Shuman, Ashley Monroe, Julie White, Tori Dunham and Morgan Dalton. Back row - Head Coach Olivia Scott, Emily Norris, Layla Monroe, Hera Hoffee, Jenna Cassidy, Aubrey Dunham, Caitlyn Hopple, Madeline Crissman and Coach Brianna Coy.

The Minerva cross country program made history by sweeping both the boys and girls cross country East District Championships this weekend at Cambridge High School.

This is the first time in program history that both teams brought home the district championship. The boys claimed their second district crown in program history while the girls won their ninth.

Minerva girls accumulated just 47 points. Tusky Valley was runner up with 102 followed

by Carrollton with 117.

“I can’t express how excited the coaching staff is after our race today,” Minerva head coach Olivia Scott said following the district championships.

“Both teams ran amazing.”

Sophomore Jenna Cassidy led the Lions with a sixth place finish in a time of 20:10.

Caitlyn Hopple raced her way to 8th with a time of 20:42 followed by Herra Hoffee in 10th with a time of 20:44.

“Jenna went out nice and steady and the last mile was an all out race with the pack she was competing against. Caitlyn had a slow start but had a great finish in 8th place as a freshman,” Scott said. “Hera Hoffee had another big day. She just keeps getting better each week.”

Aubrey Dunham placed 14th in 20:48 and Layla Monroe was the Lions fifth runner with a time of 21:04.

“Aubrey Dunham also has shown us that she is a totally different runner this year, putting everything on the line for her team,” Scott said about Dunham’s performance Saturday. “Aubrey has what we call the Lion roar as she approaches the finish line and it is so motivating to watch.”

Madeline Crissman finished in 20th place with a 21:33 time followed by Emily Norris who placed 25th in 21:56. All seven Lion runners were individual regional qualifiers.

Scott says the team has their eyes set on one goal.

“Our goal next week is to finish top three at regionals for a fifth consecutive state berth for the Lions,” she said.

The Minerva boys’ team also finished as East District Champions. The Lions accumulated 80 points. River View was runner up with 94 points with Martins Ferry third at 122.

“Our guys team had an amazing day,” Scott said. “We have been holding them back all year, telling them to trust the process and wait for this time of year. They are primed and ready to go.”

The Lions top runners included Nick Bledsoe (3rd, 116:35).

“Nick ran a smart race and came away with a third-place finish,” Scott said about the senior’s race. “We are ecstatic with the way his senior year is going.”

Connor Shingleton placed 8th in 17:10, Drew Spall placed 17th in 17:48, followed by Ben Brady in 35th with a time of 18:01. Other Lion finishers include Jack Spall (27th, 18:05) Brandon Davis (29th, 18:12), and John Fink (45th, 18:34).

“Connor had another strong race for an 8th place finish. Ben had the best race of his year so far,” Scott said. “We needed that today to keep River View from catching us. Jack and John are also having strong senior years. Jack was 77th last year and 27th this year at the district meet. John was 95th last year and 45th this year. It’s amazing the progression they have made.”

Scott added she feels the Lions have a state berth in their sights.

“Our goal next week is to finish in the top four at regionals and make a second consecutive trip to the state meet.”

The varsity teams return to action next Saturday, October 16th at the Regional Championships hosted by Pickerington High School. The boys race is at 2:15 and the girls at 11:45.

Carrollton loses hard-fought battle to Alliance CARROLLTON - The Carrollton Warriors football team resumed conference action Friday, Oct. 18 at home against Alliance.

The Aviators left Community Field winners, defeating Carrollton by a score of 21-12.

The visting Alliance Aviators took control in the first quarter, jumping out to an early 14-0 lead.

Less than four minutes into action, Alliance’s Jeff Talbert broke off a 24-yard touchdown run to put the Aviators ahead 7-0.

Talbert struck again, this time with 4:22 remaining in the opening quarter. He scored his second running touchdown of the game, this time from six yards out.

Carrollton’s defense kept Alliance off the board in the second quarter, coming up with a drive ending interception from Brandon Brown, and went into the break down 14-0.

Carrollton Head Coach Jim Tsilimos says he felt like his team was playing timid in the first half of action.

“I got on them about it,” Tsilimos said after the game. “We talked at halftime about it and I got on both quarterbacks.

They seemed to respond a lot better in the second half.”

The Warriors cut into Alliance’s lead in the third quarter when Carrollton sophomore QB Austin Colletti called his own number and rushed it in for a two-

yard touchdown. The PAT was blocked and Carrollton trailed 14-6 with 6:02 left in the third quarter.

The Warriors found themselves in positions to score multiple times, but were unable to punch it in, in an attempt to tie the ball game at 14-14.

Alliance took a 21-6 lead in the fourth quarter. Colletti scored again late in regulation on a short touchdown run, but the conversion attempt was no good.

Carrollton trailed 21-12 and was unable to fight their way out of it.

For the first time this season, Carrollton outgained the opposing offense in yards.

Carrollton finished the game with 336 total yards compared to Alliance’s 329.

Colletti completed nine passes for 164 yards and rushed for another 89 yards on 22 carries.

Joey Beard racked up 41 yards and Hunter Henry, 34.

Carrollton’s Brown was the leading receiver for the Warriors, hauling in three passes for 87 yards. Brady Benner wasn’t far behind with 71 yards on four catches.

Josh Knipp was a force on Carrollton’s defense, making seven tackles including 1.5 tackles for loss. Justin Naylor finished with six tackles and Colby Moore, 4.5.

The Warriors, now 0-7, will host the Canton South Wildcats for their final home game of the season Oct. 25 at Community Field. Kick off is slated for 7 p.m. with senior night recognition prior.

Carrollton quarterback Austin Colletti (14) avoids a pair of Alliance defenders on a run in last week’s EBC game. Colletti rushed for 89 yards and threw for 164.

The Carrollton Warriors boys soccer team left it all on the pitch Saturday during the first round of playoffs.

Carrollton fell to the Beaver Beavers by a final score of 2-1.

“Today was a heartbreaker. I don't think any of us were ready for the season to be over. We battled the entire match, but we fell short on capitalizing on a couple of our goal-scoring

opportunities,” said head coach A.J. Atkinson.

Beaver's first goal hurt because we nearly saved the ball from trickling into the net. Evan Meek had rushed toward the attacker who toe-balled a shot when he saw Meek charging at him. Meek dropped down to stop the roller, but the ball snuck underneath him.

Defender Justin Thompson raced back to try and clear the ball before it crossed the goal line, but the ball ricocheted off the post and deflected off Thompson

and into the net. In Thompson's case, the ball was going to roll over the line if he had not tried to make an attempt.

Carrollton then struck back by a goal from Maikyn Navarro. Navarro received the ball at the top of the 18 and was able to shield off his defender from the ball.

Navarro then beat a second defender before roping a shot past Beaver's goalkeeper. The score remained 1-1 until midway through the second half when a pass down the middle on defense by Carrollton was stolen by Beaver. Beaver

took advantage of this mistake and netted the go-ahead goal. Carrollton had a couple opportunities to tie it again at 22, but the Warriors were never in the right position to capitalize.

“I do want to praise how hard my guys played. We accomplished a lot this year, and the boys all wanted to add winning our first Sectional Championship since 2009 to the list of accomplishments for this season. After a couple of days go by and the sting of losing and the season being over wears

off, I know I will be amazed at how far we have improved as a team when I reflect back on this season. I could not be more proud of the effort that my guys gave and the hard work they have put in in order for us to reach this point,” said Atkinson.

Shots on Goal: 9-5 Beaver Keeper Saves: 7-3 Evan Meek Goals: Maikyn Navarro (C) 1; Chase Flati (B) 1, Zach Smith (B) 1 The Warriors finish this soccer season with a final record of 5-9-2 (1-5 EBC).

Down 20-19 with four ticks left in regulation, the Conotton Valley football team had to dig in for the win.

Conotton Valley’s Hugo Cenzano recorded a 25-yard field goal as time expired to win the game for the Rockets, 22-20, over Beallsville.

Beallsville received the opening kick off. The Conotton Valley defense wasted no time. Braden Caldwell

picked off a Beallsville pass in the endzone. Conotton Valley was unable to capitalize on the turnover and was forced to punt.

Conotton Valley struck first when Caldwell connected with James Burleson for a seven-yard touchdown to put the Rockets ahead 7-0 with less than five minutes remaining in the first quarter.

With 9:30 remaining in the second quarter, Beallsville cut Conotton Valley’s lead to 7-6 on a three-yard quarterback keeper. The extra point was no good.

A gutsy fourth-down call paid off for Conotton Valley with nearly four minutes remaining in the first half.

On fourth-and-goal, Ben Mauge punched it in from three yards out to

extend the Rockets lead to 13-6.

Conotton Valley took a 19-6 lead into halftime following a three-yard touchdown run by Evan Rice.

Beallsville struck at the halfway mark of the third quarter.

With almost eight minutes remaining in regulation, the Blue Devils scored again, this time on a three-yard run, taking a 20-19 lead, their first lead of

the contest.

Conotton Valley scored the gamewinning field goal as time ticked off the clock.

Caldwell completed four passes for 89 yards and a touchdown. He also rushed for 70 yards on 12 carries.

The Conotton Valley Rockets will play host to Clay Battelle Oct. 25 for their 2019 senior night.

ODNR recognizes outstanding contributions to forestry in Ohio including Carroll County camp COLUMBUS, Ohio – The Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) Division of Forestry honored two individuals and one organization for their outstanding contributions to forestry in Ohio at the Forest of Honor ceremony in Zaleski State Forest on Oct. 17.

“Conservation of a renewable resource is what forestry is all about,” said Dan Balser, chief of the Division of Forestry. “Our inductees have been passionate leaders in innovative forest practices and have enabled many other foresters, students, and landowners to practice better forest stewardship.”

Trees were planted in the Forest of Honor to recognize the following recipients: Ohio FFA Camp Muskingum Located in Carroll County on the banks of Leesville Lake, FFA Camp Muskingum has been offering unique outdoor experiences since 1942. The forests, hillside, and lake offer prime opportunities for nature studies. When Camp Canopy (formerly “Ohio Forestry Association Forestry and Wildlife Conservation Camp”) needed a new home, FFA Camp

Muskingum rose to accept the opportunity in the mid-1990s.

They have been very accommodating and bring a highquality staff to work with the high schoolers that attend Camp Canopy to learn about natural resources stewardship.

Gary Kaster Gary Kaster significantly advanced commercial, private, and public forestry in Ohio by being instrumental in developing and implementing successful improvements to forestry practices that can be used at all levels of forest management in Ohio. Many of Gary’s achievements involved extensive experimental tree planting on American Electric Power’s (AEP) surface mine reclamation sites. He also served multiple terms on Ohio’s Forestry Advisory Council, including significant time as chairman.

Dave Apsley Dave Apsley’s name is synonymous with forestry education in Ohio. His outstanding leadership and innovation are based on his tireless hard work and ability to network to accomplish well thought-out goals. He is the primary coordinator and leader of

the very successful “A Day in the Woods-2nd Friday Series” programming, now in its eighth year at Vinton Furnace State Forest and other southeastern Ohio locations. Due to his leadership, more than 100 presenters and partners have collaborated to teach and sponsor 70 programs to more than 3,000 woodland owners and enthusiasts representing the 125,000 acres of woodlands they own.

Induction into the Forest of Honor recognizes individuals, groups, and organizations that have contributed significantly to the accomplishment of the Division of Forestry’s mission and the advancement of Ohio forestry in one or more of the following ways: Develop and/or implement successful improvements to forestry practices that can be used at all levels of forest management in Ohio; Raise public awareness about the benefits of wellmanaged forest resources; Champion legislation that results in a successful policy change to forestry practices. Educate students in the knowledge, appreciation, and problemsolving skills related to trees and forest management.

Why are you running for office?

Being elected to village council would afford me the opportunity to be a more active member in our community from a legislative stand point, as well as help Minerva succeed and prosper to its fullest potential. I am raising two sons, three and four, in Minerva because I love living here and being a part of this great community. I was raised here myself and I want to give my children, and all families, an even better place to call home.

What are your qualifications for this office?

I am currently in my 10th year as a member of the Minerva Rotary Club and I served as president in 2012. I am also currently in my eighth year of volunteering for the Minerva Athletic Booster Club. I also serve on the board for the Minerva Chamber of Commerce.

I serve on both the Ohio Grocers Legislative Committee (OGA) and National Grocers Government Relations Committee (NGA), whose focus is on backing independent and community driven supermarket retailers, and wholesalers to be successful.

What improvements would you like to see and how do you propose implementing them?

I am an avid cyclist, a park person and I just love being outdoors. Having more walking trails, and potentially a new bike trail in our town, would promote a healthy and active community; it would not only do well for the townspeople, but bring in visitors from surrounding areas to see what a great village Minerva is. I would use my knowledge and resources to help local building owners fill vacant buildings with retail, or other businesses. I would clean up vacant lots and turn them into more functional and beneficial properties to our community. I would also encourage residential development and continue replacing water lines throughout Minerva.

Nathan Daniel Meadows, 36, of Minerva, is a 2001 Minerva High School graduate and attended Kent State Stark Campus for a semester.

Why are you running for office?

My parents moved my family here in 1995, and in 2008, I purchased my own home here in town. In the time between those two events, like many others, I left. Unlike so many others, however, I chose to return to Minerva. Family was a major factor in that decision,

but so was community. This is a fantastic area in which to settle down and raise a family and I wanted to be a part of that.

My community involvement began with the Minerva High School Drama Department, of which I have been the advisor for the past six years. I also became directly involved with the community by volunteering for events offered by the Chamber of Commerce, including the jazz festival and Oktoberfest.

That, in turn, led to opportunities to help promote the Roxy Theatre and initiate events there, such as monthly movies and live community theater, and being asked to join Minerva’s 20/20 Vision Committee, an arm of ArtsinStark. Getting involved in these ways is a small step toward much bigger goals.

As a community volunteer, I have seen the strengths and weaknesses of our town, and I want to be part of making improvements in our community.

Community is family. We come together at all times and stand as one and have respect for our town and one another. That is the Pride of Minerva.

What are your qualifications for this office?

Through my involvement in the community, I interact with many different groups of people of a range of ages and from all walks of life, allowing me to get feedback from a wide variety of people. I work at the high school and have the opportunity to inspire young people to push beyond what they think they can do. I host trivia at

Sandy Springs Brewing Co. on Thursday nights and try to entertain and welcome whoever walks through the door. My involvement with the chamber has allowed me to meet a lot of people, and to find ways for our community to experience great movies, music and live entertainment.

Being able to showcase what our community has to offer opens up great opportunities for the future. Our town is full of life, we just have to nurture it a little.

As MHS drama advisor, I have managed budgets, and I know fiscal responsibility is of the utmost importance for any organization that seeks to grow and fund new initiatives. I have turned the drama program around financially, and, in turn, have helped the school provide better equipment for our students.

What improvements would you like to see and how do you propose implementing them?

I would like to see our downtown flourish. We have many storefronts that are sorely lacking in care and too many of them are empty. I would like to see every storefront filled. Our downtown used to be a prominent shopping area and I would like to see it return to that glory. I think the first step forward toward this goal is to pass an ordinance or ordinances that hold building owners to a set of regulations to make their properties: appealing to the public eye and potential buyers/renters; have affordable rent for up

I am running for the Office of Mayor as I am concerned with the decline in businesses in our village and surrounding areas.

I want to keep Dellroy a great place to live.

What are your qualifications for this office?

I am very qualified for this office. I have been mayor for eight years. I am a lifelong resident

of Dellroy. I have experience working in and for our community. I learned the needs for our village and worked diligently to get those needs met. I have the ability and knowledge to work for better the village of Dellroy.

What improvements would you like to see and how do you propose implementing them?

I would like to work on updating our streetlights, storm drains and sidewalk repair. I will look into applying for grants and working with neighboring villages. I will be speaking to neighboring village to pull our resources, to work together to better our villages.

Carrie Hutson and Mick Ruby did not return candidate questionnaires.

and coming business owners; and conform to standards that ensure spaces are up to code.

I would also like to see bigger retail chains and businesses come into the area. I don’t think another fast food or big chain restaurant is going to hurt our existing businesses. It gives residents another option without leaving town and spending money elsewhere. It also helps employ our own citizens.

Granted, this could be applied to anything, not just restaurants.

Rebecca Stoller, 36, of Minerva, has served one term on Minerva Village Council. She is a 2002 graduate of Minerva High School and received an associate degree in applied business from Kent State Tuscarawas Campus in 2005.

Why are you running for office?

I’m running for a second term because I feel there is still more to accomplish in the Minerva community. We hired a new village administrator and I would like to work with him and continue to work with the other council members. I hope to be re-elected for a second term to make a difference in the Minerva community.

What are your qualifications for this office?

I’m the incumbent on Minerva Village Council. I’ve learned a lot in my first four years and would like to continue to learn more and to help the residents of Minerva.

What improvements would you like to see and how do you propose implementing them?Continue to develop a plan to improve infrastructures; improving water quality throughout the village of Minerva; continue to collaborate between village, schools and chamber of commerce to help our community grow into the future; and continue to help the residents of Minerva. To make these changes requires a collaborative effort of village council, the administrator and service director.

Patrick C. Snow, 67, of Minerva, is a graduate of the Leetonia High School and Salem Trades School where he became a journeyman machinist.

Why are you running for office?

To help improve and contribute to the wellbeing of my fellow residents of Minerva.

What are your qualifications for this office?

I was on village council in Washingtonville, Ohio, for one year in 1993, then served as mayor from 1994 through 1999. During my six years in the office, the village realized $4.3 million in improvements to its infrastructure.

What improvements would you like to see and how do you propose implementing them?

I would like to decriminalize cannabis for adult use and curtail / eliminate Mayor’s Court.

Up until 1937, man enjoyed a healthy relationship with cannabis as medicine for 10,000 years plus. Mayor’s Court unjustly targets the working poor.

Mickley will not seek second term as commissioner Lewis Mickley, a Republican who is serving his first term as a Carroll County commissioner, announced during the Carroll County Republican fall dinner, held on Oct. 10, that he would not seek re-election in 2020.

The Free Press Standard has learned that the recent appointment of Mickley’s wife, Nicole, also a Republican, as deputy director of the Carroll County Board of Elections, was among the factors Mickley weighed in deciding not to run for a second term.

I’m excited to run for mayor of Magnolia for several reasons: 1) To continue Magnolia’s tradition of being a beautiful, historic village; 2) to utilize my government experience effectively managing our resources to get things gone; and 3) to lead Magnolia into the future by making continuous improvements to our roads, facilities and environments for our residents and families.

nior this year. We are blessed to have a great staff who care for our children every day. It is the board’s job to be sure that they have the tools and equipment to do their job so that they are successful in whatever role they serve.

The school district needs to continue to be transparent, communicate and involve the community. In order for our community to progress and evolve, we have to be the visionary leaders that drive change.

Although change is difficult, it is inevitable and necessary.

Being creative and fiscally responsible is key and I don’t believe it would be right to walk away from what we have started …without finishing it.

What are your qualifications for this office?

I was born and raised in Carrollton. I have served on the board for two terms, so I have a good understanding of the financials, programs and opera-

tions of the school district.

My 18 years of experience as an executive at Aultman Hospital has helped lay the foundation for understanding management, administration and working with people. I am active in the community and believe that working together is the best way to get something done.

What improvements would you like to see and how do you propose implementing them?

Now that we have a new 6-12 facility, I would like to work with administration and the board to see how we can finish K-5 on the campus. I would like to help with developing and implementing new programs such as a School Based Health Clinic, After School Program for elementary children and other health education programs for staff and students.

I would love to see more community based activities held on the campus in the future such as

a Senior Walking Program like “Silver Sneakers” in the new field house, Relay for Life and a Farmer’s Market to just name a few.

I believe it would be exciting to be able to host tournaments in our new facilities, have various programs in the new auditorium and create a cross country course on the school grounds.

Working together with other county agencies, businesses and citizens is how I would propose accomplishing many of these things.

Dan Ries, 48, is a 1979 graduate of Carrollton Schools and received his Bachelor of Science Degree in Education from Bowling Green State University in 1983.

Following are his responses to The FPS questions: Why are you running for office?

a graduate of CHS, past teacher, parent of CHS graduates and 35 years as a local businessman, I feel my experiences give me a well rounded understanding of all aspects of the Carrollton school district.

What are your qualifications for this office?

Bachelor of Science from BGSU – 9 years substitute teacher at CHS – 35 years as a local business owner.

What improvements would you like to see and how do you propose implementing them?

I’m disappointed in the state’s grades for our school system recently published in this paper. We need to examine them closer, possibly set up a committee of educators to work on improving these grades.

Maybe visit a school system that is getting passing grades to see what they are doing right that we could adapt.

Helen Skinner, 64, an incumbent, has served two different terms totaling 8 years on the Carrollton Board of Education.

She is a graduate of Marshall University and Kent State University.

Following are Mrs. Skinner’s responses to The FPS questions: Why are you running for office?

I wasn’t going to run for re-election. However, the Board has not completed all the goals established. Community service has been part of my life and improving the learning platform for our children is dear to my heart.

What are your qualifications for this office?

I have a strong business background in the non-profit sector working for more than thirty

years as the County Librarian with seventeen of those years as Library Director. Completing two major construction projects – one being a multimillion-dollar Federal project, as well as an addition. Handling a large budget and being creative to do so without a bond levy.

Most recently attending monthly construction meetings for the new school as a representative of the board.

What improvements would you like to see and how do you propose implementing them?

Consistency is the key to continuous improvement by completing the Strategic Plan started in 2014. We just completed Goal III, which was the new facility. Now Goal IV is Finances – we need to be creative with a Capital Campaign focusing on building an endowment for the future.

Seeking donations and grants from a variety of sources and being efficient with our spending.

Creating naming opportunities whenever possible.

We already discussed a Banner pole campaign at the new campus and matching gift programs from national companies that put aside money that often goes unclaimed. Create a unique donation form that is tailored specifically for alumni using a technology platform. Creating engaging afterschool programs that promote better attendance at school and improves behavior as well as academic achievement.

Being watchful of finances that the monies already set aside for maintenance is adequate.

HILLS from PG. 12 connect with today’s rapidly growing job market. To accomplish this we must continue to build meaningful partnerships with employers, our community leaders and parents. Additionally, I firmly believe we must continue to invest in the staff of the district, providing and encouraging opportunities for professional development. It is the staff in the classrooms and working within the buildings that have the greatest impact on our children, we must ensure they feel valued, supported and engaged.

Edison Oktoberfest set for Oct. 26 Edison High School will become a major haunt this Halloween season as it hosts the ninth annual Oktoberfest on Oct. 26.

Boos and ghouls who attend Edison Local Schools are invited to dress up in their favorite costumes for the free festivities, which will be held from noon to 2 p.m., and enjoy a variety of activities such as candy stations, games, pumpkin decorating, treats, inflatables, hay rides, fire trucks and more. District Administrative Assistant Fatima Smuck, event organizer, said many of the popular attractions are back and Oktoberfest offers fun for the whole family.

“We are planning to have numerous candy stations locat-

ed throughout the school and manned by our athletes and staff. Hot dogs, popcorn, cotton candy and water will be provided free of charge,” said Smuck. “Pumpkin decorating will be available for students and they can take them home, plus a literacy booth for students in preschool and kindergarten is planned and each student will receive a free fall or Halloween-themed book.”

Hayrides and inflatables will be located outside and local fire departments will have emergency vehicles on display with some extra treats for the kids.

The costume parade will take place on the football field at 1:15 p.m. and judges will award prizes to the best entrants.

All children must be accompanied by an adult at the festivities. Smuck noted that upwards of 500 people have attended in the past and she hoped for another great turnout this year.

“The Oktoberfest is a time for our Edison families and community to celebrate fall activities and a safe place for children to receive treats and participate in fun activities,” she added.

“This is one way of saying thank you to our community for supporting what we do. It is free of charge and always a good time for our students and families in the Edison Local School District.”

Smuck also thanked the faculty, staff and students for giving their time at the event, in addi-

tion to businesses and organizations for their assistance and donations. She cited Tom and Mollie McConnell for providing the pumpkins, the Edison FFA for spearheading the hayride, staff for donating candy and chips for the stations, the district for providing food and the inflatables and the parent-teacher organizations for helping her with the event. In case of inclement weather, activities will be moved inside the school.

Conotton Valley BOE learns of the resurgence of ‘Rocket Review’

By JACQUIE HUMPHREY

FPS Correspondent At the October meeting of the Conotton Valley Board of Education, High School Principal Danielle Caldwell presented an update of on-going high school events to the Board.

Caldwell reported that since the reinstatement of the Journalism Class, the first edition of the high school newspaper has been released.

Caldwell presented a copy for the Board’s review. The fifteen page, color newspaper has sections for featured articles, positive news, high school and elementary staff members of the month, sports, world news, opinion, activities and more, something to be of interest to everyone. The paper, like its predecessor, is called the Rocket Review.

Board President Chris Bower inquired of Caldwell as to how the paper is being distributed.

Caldwell explained that options for printing and distribution are currently being explored, the first edition was printed and distributed at the school, as well as posted to the school’s website, but with the expense of color printing, fundraisers, such has a halloween costume contest, are being held so that larger quantities of the paper may be printed offsite for greater distribution in the district.

Caldwell further reported to the Board that strategic releas-

es are now being posted to the school’s Facebook page, including educational items to help get parents more involved.

In other discussion, Rocket Center Director Bill Love was present at the meeting to report that he has had the opportunity to spend some time meeting the faculty and staff, all who have been very welcoming. Love said that he has been gathering a lot of valuable information from other district’s about their Wellness Centers and believes that the Rocket Center will be a State of the Art facility.

Love reported on one security system, SafePoint, that he recently had the opportunity to review and explained to the Board that either a current driver’s license or State issued ID was required for entry to the facility that had this system.

Board member Kevin Willoughby inquired of Love if this is something that he would like to see at the Rocket Center.

Love responded that he would certainly like to see more research done, he feels that security at the new facility, and the safety of our kids, is of the utmost importance.

Athletic Director Dave DiDonato was also present at the meeting to report to the Board that athletic event scheduling is currently moving away from printing paper schedules, because they are changed so often, and are more commonly referring people to websites.

Bower inquired if an event “all call” could be sent, especially

to those who do not utilize the internet. Supt. Todd Herman reported that he is already doing this.

DiDonato turned the floor over to basketball coach Matt Edie, who explained the basketball handbook that he is currently working on. Edie said that he is developing the handbook from DiDonato’s template and has added links to videos, for a clearer explanation for players. Edie also updated the Board on the progress of the district’s entire basketball program, from elementary to high school.

In other action, the Board: - APPROVED expenditures totaling $1,293,536.56; - HEARD fund balances reported of $4,708.896.45 in Unified Bank and $143,690.71 in Star Ohio. The balance of the Star Construction Fund was reported at $5,030,439.55 and the balance in the US Bank Account at $17,030,435.08.

- APPROVED the creation of a 467 student wellness and success fund. This fund is to account for state monies distributed in accordance with ORC section 3317-26, that are restricted for specific purposes related to student wellness.

- APPROVED student activity budgets for Elementary Principal Fund, National Honor Society, Musical/Play/Drama, Academic Challenge and Share a Christmas; - APPROVED the correction of Resolution 2019-138 due to a typographical error regarding
