Three CHS students facing charges in school vandalism

By JORDAN MILLER & DONALD RUTLEDGE FPS Staff Writers

Three Carrollton High School students are facing felony charges as a result of breaking in at the high school last Friday, Oct. 19.

Jordan G. Beight, 18, of 911 Canton Road NW, Apt. A, Carrollton, is charged in Carroll County Municipal Court with breaking and entering and vandalism, both fifth-degree felonies.

Bond was set Monday by Judge Gary L. Willen at $20,000 cash or surety with a 10% feature and a preliminary hearing is set for Oct. 31 at 1:15 p.m.

Judge Willen also ordered Beight to have no contact with the two co-defen-

dants and if bond is posted, he is to remain at home under supervision of Marsha Alexander.

Two other youths, both 17-year-old Carrollton boys, are charged in Carroll County Juvenile Court with breaking and entering and vandalism, both fifth-degree felonies. At an initial hearing Monday, Carroll County Court Judge John S. Campbell ordered both boys remanded back to Tobin, the juvenile detention center near Lisbon, where they were taken Friday and set a preliminary hearing for Oct. 26.

The charges stem from the students allegedly broke a window to gain entry into the elementary school some time Thursday night and vandalized See CHARGES, PG. both 3 the elementary and high school.

Council approves new playground equipment

By NANCY SCHAAR FPS Correspondent Carrollton council approved spending $35,339 to purchase new playground equipment for Kiddie Land Park on Main St. Most of the playground equipment currently in Kiddie Land has been inspected and fails to meet current requirements for safety.

Residents can rest assured that the famous purple dinosaur will remain in the park. One tree needs to be removed along with several other items.

But the new unit replacing it in the spring will include two racing slides, a small rock wall to climb, and ground level activities for smaller or handicapped children.

Taylor Kolanko of DWA Recreation said his company has a factory in Alabama where the equipment is made.

They also retain $51 million in liability insurance.

The company also recommends 12 inches of engineered wood fiber product to be used as a cushioning agent under the new equipment.

Gametime is offering the village a $10,000 grant to be used towards the purchase of new equipment.

Council heard a presentation from Steven Dade of the Ohio Department of Natural Resources regarding the placement of a seismic testing unit at Veterans’ Park.

Dade reported that there is no cost, maintenance, or expense of any kind to the village. Dade said they chose the out of the way site at Veteran’s Park because it receives a good phone signal through Verizon and had low background noise levels.

Since the earthquake in Youngstown several years ago, it was established that it was connected to fracking at the time in that location.

Dade said that Harrison County has had several seismic events in recent years as well.

The ODNR wants to monitor the seismic movements in the area in order to determine if an event can be anticipated.

“There are 26 other stations in the region. There is a lot of inter-agency communication. We can determine if readings on the monitor is from area noise, a thunder storm, or actual seismic activity,” said Dade.

The first phase would be to drill two holes and prepare the site and analyze it closely for about two weeks. Then the second phase will be to install the elevated equipment. The unit is solar powered and usually needs maintenance once or twice a season.

“We want to catch what we can to mitigate seismic events,” continued Dade.

Council members questioned Dade regarding instances of vandalism to the equipment and Dade replied it has not been an issue.

Council member Chris Modranski asked if there wouldn’t be a safer placement for the equipment. Modranski said that children are naturally curious and to place it directly in a play area doesn’t seem the most likely choice.

Dade said that the site was chosen because it was “smack dab in the middle of the county” and receives enough sunlight to power the solar unit.

“We stay away from open areas and ball fields,” said Dade.

Dade agreed to meet with Village Administrator Mark Wells to discuss or view other sites that might be less open to the public.

Council was also updated on oil and gas production and drilling in the county from ODNR statistics. Those can be viewed at the ODNR web site.

In other business council: - APPROVED emergency appropriations transferring various funds to other accounts as needed.

- HEARD the finance committee met and discussed a percentage wage increase for the police chief and sergeant instead of an hourly amount.

They also discussed the option of hiring another full time police officer instead of paying overtime to the current police department officers.

- MET in executive session to discuss pending litigation and compensation for an employee.

Olivito records request is ongoing

By EMILY SCHLOSS The Supreme Court of Ohio has granted the voluntary dismissal made

by Jeffrey Mangun, Carroll County Republican Party chairman, in a case against Carroll County Court of Common Pleas Judge Dominick Olivito Jr., for a public records request, however Mangun has now filed a new petition.

The dismissal was made by the Ohio Supreme Court on Oct. 23, following Mangun’s Oct. 18 request. On Oct. 19, Mangun then filed a new writ of mandamus for the same public records request pursuant to Rules of Superintendence for the Courts of Ohio.

The request is for records of a meeting on July 10 between Judge Olivito and staff members of the Carroll County

Clerk of Courts. Mangun’s request seeks records, transcripts and audio recordings.

Judge Olivito has 21 days from the Oct. 19 summons to file an answer to the complaint or file a motion to dismiss. Mangun sent a letter on Sept.

27 to both Judge Olivito and Carroll County Sheriff Dale Williams requesting the records pursuant to the Rules of Superintendence. Mangun stated in his affidavit that Judge Olivito had not responded.

The initial request made by Mangun on Aug. 1 through the Ohio Public Open Records law was denied by Judge Olivito on Aug. 13. On Aug. 24, Mangun then filed a complaint with the Ohio Supreme Court and the parties entered a brief mediation session before Mangun filed the dismissal.

Bowerston man admits to vandalizing Sherrodsville ballfields

By NANCY SCHAAR FPS Correspondent Dakota S. Mullins of Grant Street, Bowerston, was arrested for driving his truck through the ballfields in Sherrodsville, damaging the fence and other areas of the park.

Carroll County Sheriff deputies received a call Sept. 23 at 9:16 p.m. from Sherrodsville Mayor Ken Moffit that a black diesel truck had been doing doughnuts on the ballfield.

Deputy James Lemonte met the mayor at the fields and found ruts all over the parking lot, the ballfields and the grassy areas. In addition, someone had driven a large vehicle straight through a chain-link fence.

Lemonte found a black Ford Excursion that was lifted and had oversized tires that were consistent with the tracks found at the ballfield. The truck was covered with mud and had scratches that matched the chain link fence.

The vehicle was still hot, had the interior light on and fluid was leaking from the drive train.

The truck was registered to Dakota Mullins. While Lemonte was looking at the truck, Mullins arrived at the residence in another vehicle and appeared intoxicated. Lemonte questioned Mullins if he knew where his truck had been and Mullins responded by saying it couldn’t be moved.

Mullins said he had not done the damage tonight but admitted he had done doughnuts on the field two weeks ago. Lemonte asked if anyone else could have been driving the truck and he said no.

While Lemonte was explaining charges about the incident to Mullins, he admitted he had done the damage and had a suspended license.

Deputies left Mullins at the residence with sober relatives.

Photographs were taken and the vandalism recorded and verified.

Lemonte met with Mullins the next evening and Mullins appeared sober and of sound mind. He was read his rights.

Mullins was asked if he would sign a written statement about what happened at the ball fields on Saturday night and then said he didn’t want to incriminate himself.

Mullins told deputies he would go to Lowes and get parts to fix the damaged fence, rake out the ruts and spread grass seed if the village would allow him to make repairs.

Lemonte had already spoken to the Sherrodsville mayor and was told the village would file charges.

A copy of these reports were filed with the county prosecutor’s office. Moffit was advised to get estimates for the damage to be repaired so the prosecutor could determine charges.

Mullins was taken to the Carroll County jail and charged with knowingly causing serious physical harm to property owned, leased or controlled by the Village of Sherrodsville.

Vandalism is a felony of the fifth degree.

A bail hearing was held and Mullins was released on his own recognizance. He will face a preliminary hearing Wednesday, Oct. 24, at 11 a.m. in County Municipal Court with Judge Gary Willen.

Unified Bank tree gets decorated for Halloween

It isn’t Halloween until the tree at the Unified Bank in Dellroy has been decorated for the season.

Pranksters were busy Sunday night, Oct. 21, and residents always smile at the sight. The community appreciates that the bank has been tolerant of this once a year tradition.

AEP Ohio customers to receive bill credits AEP Ohio has filed a settlement with the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio (PUCO) that outlines $607 million in customer benefits from the tax savings created by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. AEP Ohio, the Ohio Consumers’ Counsel, PUCO staff, and several groups representing industrial and commercial customers have signed onto the agreement.

“Since Congress passed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, AEP Ohio has been committed to seeing that our customers benefit from these savings. This settlement provides customers with $263 million in immediate rate reductions.” said Julie Sloat, AEP Ohio president and chief operating officer.

“The collaborative effort of these groups to work through this complex issue was critical to arriving at a beneficial outcome for our customers.”

Bill credits totaling $263 million will begin following the PUCO’s

approval of the settlement and will continue for the next 6 years.

These savings are in addition to $66 million in tax reductions that have been reflected in customer bills since January.

An additional $278 million will be credited over the next 20 years through the Distribution Investment Rider, which allows AEP Ohio to continue making distribution system upgrades, building a smarter energy grid and providing more reliable service to its customers.

A residential customer using 1,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity can expect a total bill reduction of $3.65 per month.

This settlement addresses AEP Ohio’s responsibilities under the PUCO’s order for utility companies across the state to provide customers with benefits from tax savings under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act passed by Congress in 2017. The stipulation is available on the PUCO’s website.

Trial begins on fatal crash

An eight-member petit jury Tuesday began hearing the case of Ashley B. Semrock, 28, of 259 Park Ave., Carrollton, who is facing a vehicular manslaughter charge filed by the Ohio State Highway Patrol in regards to a traffic accident

Feb. 2 on state Route 171, just east of New Harrisburg.

Five plaintiffs witnesses were subpoenaed to testify during the trial held in the Court of Carroll County Municipal Court Judge Gary L. Willen.

Carroll County Sheriff’s Reports Oct. 11 – An Alamo Road resident drove off the edge of the road to avoid a deer, but hit a traffic sign owned by Carroll County Department of Transportation.

Oct. 12 – A Turquoise Avenue, Canton, resident was driving on state Route 39 when he failed to negotiate a curve, went off the

right side of the road, into a ditch, struck a mobile sign, and hit an ODOT trailer.

Oct. 16 – A headstone was reported missing from a Bethlehem Cemetery in Brown Township.

Oct. 20 – A Citrus Rd., Malvern, resident was charged with criminal damaging and assault.

County Health Department Office Administrator Amy Campbell updated the board on the assistance needed by county resident Mary Passwaters.

The bad news is that the repairs have not been completed to her well system but the good news is the State Health Dept. finally seems to be moving forward with her paperwork.

Passwaters received a grant from the county through Community Development Block Grant in 2016 for a new well.

A well was drilled by American Drilling and Plumbing of Stonecreek. The well was inspected and approved by then Environmental Director Scott Lenigan of the Carroll County Health Dept.

Since then, it has been proven that the well failed and proper procedures were never followed

by American Drilling.

The first hole failed and was filled in but not reported to the health dept. A second well was dug but that also collapsed when the pump fell into the well hole. Lenigan had signed off his approval of the first and the second well digs with American Drilling and Plumbing.

Legal requirements state that the second well must be at least 10 feet apart. Upon investigation, the second well was only 29 ½ inches from the first well that had been approved by Lenigan.

The County Health Dept. has filed paperwork with the state to get the $10,000 bond paid

by American Drilling released to Passwaters to have another well dug properly. The state seems to have been dragging their feet but progress is being made and final paperwork is being reviewed at the state level.

“It is undergoing revision with

a legal consultant,” said Campbell.

If the $10,000 is held by the state, American Drilling will not be permitted to do any drilling of a well anywhere until the company repays the $10,000 to the state.

All these months, Passwaters has been without running water at her home. She has been using water holding tanks that are in her yard but she is very concerned about freezing with winter approaching.

Campbell is closely monitoring the situation.

Director of Nursing Kelly Engelhart reported that the drive through flu clinic was very successful with 167 individuals receiving immunizations. Englehart said the busiest times were very early, at lunch, and the after work rush.

In other business the board: - LEARNED that Dr. Wendy Gotschall, interim Health Commissioner, is reviewing contracts up for renewal at the first of the year.

- HEARD that Gotschall is focusing on the year end budget.

- APPROVED the job posting for a full-time Environmental Health Director.

- UPDATED the board on action being taken against residents on Steubenville Rd. for non-compliance of nuisance charges.

- WAS pleased to announce there have been no further confirmations of rabies in the county.

Animals that were tested recently have come back negative.

- COMPLETED yearly mobile home park inspections with no concerns found.

- LEARNED nursing recently held immunization clinics at Conotton Valley Schools and Brown Local Schools. A Pertussis vaccine clinic was held in the Amish community.

House fire ruled undetermined The State Fire Marshal has ruled the cause of a fire that destroyed a modular home on Ocean Rd. in Fox Twp. Sept.

30 as undetermined.

According to Fox Twp. Fire Chief Fred Barnett, the fire occurred at the residence of Rodney Ginonnia at 2224 Ocean Rd. Six area fire departments responded to the blaze, which caused heavy damage to the

home, Barnett said. Providing assistance to the Fox Twp. Volunteer Fire Dept. were Carrollton Village, Carroll County VFD, Salineville, Franklin Twp. and Highlandtown.

Barnett said Ginonnia was not at home when the fire started.

He also noted the owner had no insurance and is living with his mother on Salineville Rd. while receiving assistance from the American Red Cross.

Linda Ellen Pasiuk Linda Ellen Pasiuk, 70, of Amsterdam, OH, passed away peacefully on the morning of Oct. 20, 2018.

She was born March 3, 1948, in Steubenville, OH and lived her entire life in Amsterdam, OH. She was the daughter of the late Kenneth and Delores White and had one sister, Darlene (White) Carney of Brookville, OH. She married her husband, John Pasiuk, of 52 years and had 3 children. Linda was preceded in death by her parents, Kenneth White and Delores (White) Barcus. She is survived by her husband, John Pasiuk; a sister, Darlene (Steve) Carney of Brookville, OH; a daughter, Kristeen (Bobby) Rose of McArthur, OH; 2 sons, Kenneth (Christine) and Kevin (Tally) Pasiuk of Carrollton, OH; 6 grandchildren, Lance Rose, Caleb (Sarah) Pasiuk, Aidan Pasiuk, Mason Pasiuk, Ben Pasiuk and Layna Pasiuk; and nieces and nephews.

Linda was a graduate of Carrollton High School in 1966. She devoted her life to her kids and church. She was a long time member of the Amsterdam Church of God where she was very active in many areas including the children’s ministry and choir. She loved to sing. She was very active in the school by serving in the PTO and Athletic/Band boosters. She loved to serve others, working as a home health aide for visiting nurses as well as a unit assistant at Ohio Valley Hospital. After she was no longer able to work, she spent much of her time babysitting and developing relationships with her grandchildren.

Steeple to Street Casey Stengel made a comment about the challenge of managing a professional baseball team. His observation applies to life in general. He said, “It’s easy to get good players. Getting ‘em to play together, that’s the hard part.”

We can say the same thing about our community, our churches, our schools, you name it. The world is full of good people, or you could say, good players, but getting them to all play together is a different story.

We are all given different gifts, abilities and talents. How do we incorporate our different gifts to work as a team? How do we put aside our differences to make an impact on the world? In team sports you have to realize you are only as successful as the team. Life is really no different - when you live in a community or are part of an organization, you are only as successful as the team as the whole community or the entire organization.

When we are full of pride or selfishness we hinder the community/ organization from moving forward. Jesus instructed everyone, even leaders, to lay aside pride and live to serve others. The Apostle Paul understood this concept and he emphasized teamwork because he knew that we could only reach our goals through mutual effort. In his letter to the Philippian church, Paul shares this advice: “Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than you. Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others” (Philippians 2:3-4).

Paul pointedly addressed a destructive attitude - selfishness. Focus on ourselves and our own interests at the expense of others will ultimately leave any of us being less effective. Paul writing to the Philippians, he mentions selfish ambition. Basically the attitude of “What’s in it for me?” Paul challenges us to consider the feelings, lives and work of others before you. This is hard due to our natural tendency to be competitive.

No one is the complete package and what God has given others is important to us. Each individual has some unique combination of gifts and personality that gives him or her great value. Unselfishness is the only attitude that will make us winners in the end. I challenge each of us today to become people who work as a team and embrace the differences of the world to be all that Christ has called us to be.

Farm Bureau to host Hope for Ohio The Ohio Farm Bureau will host Hope for Ohio Nov. 3.

The program will inspire youth in a way that also gives them the tools to influence their peers and is one of the driving forces behind this program.

Hope for Ohio is a Farm Bureau project in partnership with supporting organizations working together with 4-H and Future Farmers of America (FFA) members to encourage peer to peer prevention measures to help fight the opioid epidemic.

The Hope for Ohio event will be held at the FFA Camp Muskingum at 3266 Dyewood Rd. SW, Carrollton, Saturday, Nov. 3. The program is free and begins at 10 a.m. and will end at 3 p.m. Lunch will be provided.

Youth, parents, advisers, and others interested in helping young people combat the crisis are welcome.

Speakers will share stories and information that will provide youth with tools needed to be prevention leaders in their communities.

Wayne Campbell, founder of Tyler’s Light, will speak at the program. Campbell’s son Tyler died of a heroin overdose after becoming addicted to prescription painkillers.

Dave Kohout is from Talk is Cheap. This program focuses on building character and instilling hope in the lives of young people.

There will also be a panel discussion with Erik Frederickson,

who is a recovery coach affiliated with Wheelhouse Coaching in Carrollton.

The organization director for the Farm Bureau is Michele Specht. She has been involved in planning Hope for Ohio from its beginning. She understands the need to hear personal stories and talk about solutions.

“The speakers for Hope for Ohio have all experienced the effects of substance misuse in their lives. Sharing their personal stories as they interact with those in attendance will make it a memorable experience for all,” said Specht.

The toll of the opioid epidemic has contributed to the first decline in U. S. life expectancy since 1993. The U.S. drug overdose mortality rate is 17.7 deaths per 100,000 ages 15-64, according to statistics provided by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s USDA Rural Development. In Ohio that number is 39.5 per 100,000.

The statistics are at the national average or much higher in local counties.

Jefferson County is at 44.2%, Harrison County is at 22.5%, Tuscarawas County is at 17.7%, and Carroll County is at 19.1%.

Those who pre-register for Hope for Ohio will receive a free t-shirt.

For more information or to register, visit ofb.ag/hope-carrollton or contact Marissa Mulligan at mmulligan@ofbd.org or call 614-246-8238.

By NANCY SCHAAR FPS Correspondent The Community Christmas Program needs donations from the public, churches and local businesses. The program is a non-profit 501c3 group under the Ministerial Association.

The program will serve local children from six months to 12 years of age whose family income is below the 200% of poverty guideline level. The program starts with sign-ups in October and then distributions of items donated will be done the second week of December.

This is the 15th year of this program and serves an average of 250 to 300 children each Christmas season. The program depends on the generosity of the community to help these children each year have a Merry Christmas.

Anyone wishing to make a monetary donation may do

so by mailing your check to P. O. Box 231, Carrollton, OH 44615. Checks should be made out to Community Christmas.

Monetary donations are used to provide gifts to children that the committee is not able to find sponsors for.

This group tries to serve every eligible child that applies but that always depends on sponsors and the funds that are made available.

Anyone wishing to sponsor a child or children should contact Lorrie Cline at 330-417-6330 or Tammy Sanderson at 330787-3414. Sponsor cards will be available after Oct. 30.

The committee would like to extend a huge thank you to everyone who has donated in any way to the program in the years past.

To The Editor To the Editor: In this General Election, Ohioans are being asked to consider a proposed constitutional amendment in Issue One known as The Neighborhood Safety, Drug Treatment, and Rehabilitation Amendment. While the title of Issue One is laudable, the reality of Issue One, if passed by Ohio voters, poses a serious threat to public safety for the citizens of Ohio.

The crux of Issue One, which is funded by out-of-state money, is that the classification of criminal offenses for obtaining, possessing, or using any illicit drugs be limited to misdemeanors only. That means that any person who possesses drugs like heroin, fentanyl, methamphetamine, cocaine, and LSD would not be prosecuted as felonies as is currently under state law. Under the most favorable reading of Issue One, offenders found in possession of 49 doses of cocaine, 49 doses of heroin, and 19 grams of fentanyl would be treated as simple misdemeanor offenses, which could not result a sentence of incarceration. Exposure to only two-milligrams of fentanyl is fatal to an adult.

Under Issue One, if passed, possession of the most dangerous and addictive illicit drugs would be relegated to misdemeanors offenses for which the only punishment a county or municipal court could impose is a sentence of probation–a sanction consisting only of treatment, electronic monitoring, curfew, or community service without any threat or consequence of incarceration. No jail, no prison, no incarceration whatsoever would be imposed until an offender is convicted for a third possession offense in 24 months.

Additionally, Issue One is silent as to whether or not a jail sanction could be imposed if and when there is a violation of the community. Taken together, there is no threat of punishment that holds an offender accountable for their conduct or forces offenders to comply with treatment. This proposed scheme does not consider the amount of substance or the type of substance or the dangerousness of the substance or the addictiveness of the substance that current law considers. Effectively, all drugs will be created equal under Issue One. Experience shows not all drug offenders want treatment. For treatment to be successful the first step is wanting to be drug free.

That is, the offender must first make up their own mind and commit to healthy living. For those offenders who do not want treatment, more often than not, the only way to motivate participation in drug treatment is to use incarceration as a means to reinforce positive behavior. In many instances, drug offenders are on self-destructive paths or not in a condition to make safe decisions for themselves. Incarceration becomes a tool to protect a drug offender from themselves. Issue One will limit, if not eliminate, a sentencing court’s options upon conviction.

In the meantime, Issue One’s proponents estimate that 10,000 convicted felons will be immediately released from prison upon passage merely because those inmates have participated in some sort of treatment or rehabilitation. There is no input or consultation with the sentencing court or any victim of the offense that must be considered before release. Early release, without court or victim consideration, runs counter to the established “truth in sentencing” policy dictated in 1996 when Senate Bill 2 was enacted.

Senate Bill 2 was Ohio’s effort to reinforce the notion that a felony criminal sentence received is the sentenced served. Issue One’s early release provisions run counterintuitive to existing policy. Moreover, experience shows us that, more often than not, just because prison inmates receive a certificate of attendance for attending prison programming doesn’t mean they are cured or problem free. It doesn’t mean they have been rehabilitated and it doesn’t mean they will be a productive member of society. Addiction recovery is an on-going lifetime process. Issue One does not take into consideration any long-term aftercare for those offenders who would qualify for immediate release from prison. The doors of the institution are merely opened and the responsibility of productive treatment is left to the offender leaving the system unsupervised.

Of Ohio’s 50,000 prison population, roughly 1,200 are incarcerated for drug-related crimes. Issue One’s stated purpose will benefit far more inmates than those for whom the amendment is designed. Consistent with this open-the-prison-door position, those persons who are released early as well as anyone else who has ever been convicted of a drug-related offense will be permitted to be have their felony sentences reclassified as misdemeanors if Issue One passes. This provision will open floodgates of case filings that will bog down local courts. Issue One’s message to our children is that violation of the rules results in no consequences or accountLetter to the Editor: This letter concerns the vote on Nov. 6 for Carroll County Common Pleas Judge.

The people of Carroll County should not expect a ruling from any judge in their own favor as “payback” for their vote for judge.

The so-called “character assassination” mentioned by Mr. Olivito in his Q&A in last week’s FPS is a misleading statement that seemed directed at his opponent Mike Repella. In fact, Mike Repella had no knowledge or input into the research the Republican Central Committee had to do. I know, as I’m a member of Central Committee. I say “had to do” because the Republican Central Committee was bombarded with accusations against Mr. Olivito. These accusations were many in number and they were

ability for one’s actions.

Issue One is also touted as a fiscal savings mechanism to the State of Ohio. Yet, in places like California and Oklahoma where similar measures have been adopted, the purported savings in the public treasury have not been realized. In California, for example, proponents of Proposition 47 in 2014 argued the state would save hundreds of millions of dollars annually. Three years later, in June of 2017, when the state used its “savings” to award grants under the proposition, only $103 million dollars were distributed. Similarly, in Oklahoma, where ballot initiatives similar to Issue One were adopted to reclassify drug possession and property crimes as misdemeanors, only $63 million in savings were realized, which state prison officials described as overstated. On October 10th, the Ohio Office of Management & Budget, in analysis of Issue One, concluded that no significant savings would be recognized in Ohio and that Issue One’s passage could increase costs to Ohio. Issue One’s claim that Ohio will save massive amounts of money is not realistic.

Ohio has taken great strides in the past five plus years to address drug treatment and offender rehabilitation. The General Assembly, in the last four sessions dating back to 2012, has reformed community control sanctions and created presumptions for treatment in lieu of outright prison sentences for low level felony drug offenders in House Bill 86. In House Bill 377 and Senate Bill 66, the General Assembly has expanded the ability of convicted criminals to seal their records and increase eligibility for participation in intervention in lieu of conviction, whereby an offender may not be convicted of a crime if they are successful in fulfilling a treatment plan and abstaining from using illegal drugs. In House Bill 49, the General Assembly prohibited the ten largest counties in Ohio from sending non-violent, non-sex offense low level felony drug offenders to prison in exchange for funding for community treatment. House Bill 49 was aimed at reducing the number of persons, many of whom are convicted drug offenders sentenced to prison for one year or less. Most prosecutors predict that the provisions of House Bill 49 will be expanded from the applicable ten counties to all Ohio counties in the future. Statewide, Ohio has 104 drug courts, 43 mental health courts, 30 family dependency courts, 23 veterans’ courts, and 12 re-entry courts all of which serve specific segments of offenders that deal in-depth with substance abuse and mental health problems. The time, money, effort, and resources invested in these programs will be for naught if Issue One passes, and the overall effectiveness and success of these specialty courts will be diminished. If passed, Issue One will run counter to existing statutory laws and any changes to sentencing law should come from the legislature, not a feature of constitutional law. To say Ohio has done nothing to advance drug treatment for offenders and that comprehensive drug crime reform is needed has no merit.

Efforts are continuing and Ohio’s criminal justice leaders understand changes need to be made. Those changes, however, cannot come from knee-jerk reactions at the expense of public safety.

Issue One is not criminal justice system reform. Issue One is criminal justice system slash and burn. Ohio is at the crossroads of America, with major transportation arteries north and south and east and west. While states around us will continue to have aggressive drug offenses and penalties on the books, Ohio under Issue One will only serve as a safe haven for those engaged in interstate drug trade. Low risk equals high reward. The passage of Issue One means the low risk of penalty and punishment will only strengthen the demand for drugs and drug usage in Ohio. Drug traffickers caught in possession will be rewarded under Issue One. Issue One’s passage means Ohio will become a headquarters for supplying the illicit drug market.

Ohio’s major newspapers including The Plain Dealer, Akron Beacon Journal, Columbus Dispatch, and, locally, the Canton Repository have all opposed Issue One. Over 25 different professional organizations, representing county prosecutors, sheriffs, judges, coroners, chiefs of police, police officers, county commissioners, municipal officials, victim organizations, community corrections, and numerous other elected officials, business groups and chambers of commerce are on record opposing Issue One. Constitutional provisions, once adopted, are difficult to amend or repeal. Ohioans cannot afford to be saddled with Issue One. Please join me in voting NO on Issue One.

coming from the public citizens and also from the public officials that worked with Mr. Olivito in the Courthouse. It was not an option for our Chairman Jeff Mangun to refuse to investigate the charges against Judge Olivito. It also had nothing to do with Democrat or Republican. The research which had to be done shows audio and video of the abuses by the current Common Pleas judge. There was no character assassination on the part of Mike Repella or the Republican Central Committee.

It is up to the people of Carroll County to decide, but facts are facts! The video and audio concerning the aforementioned abuses are available for public record. I’ve seen them and we’re voting for Mike Repella for Common Pleas Court Judge.

Commissioners urge voters to say ‘no’ on Issue One on Nov. 6

By NANCY SCHAAR FPS Correspondent

Carroll County Commissioners signed a Resolution to encourage voters to vote no on Issue One at the polls Nov. 6.

Commissioners joined the Chief Justice of the Ohio Supreme Court, the Justice of Public Safety, the County Commissioner Association of Ohio, and the Buckeye State Sheriff’s Association in opposing passage of Issue One. “The title of the amendment is ‘The Neighborhood Safety Drug Treatment and Rehabilitations Amendment’. That sounds wonderful. I don’t question the motive of the people who designed this amendment, but this will be detrimental to local governments and not provide help for those addicted. It won’t work,” stated Commissioner President Bob Wirkner.

“It’s a deceiving title. It’s a problem with everything they’ve put in there. It is detrimental to local government”, continued Wirkner.

It will permit the possession of fentanyl, cocaine, LSD, methamphetamines, heroin and other controlled substances to be classified as a misdemeanor with only mandatory probation. There will be minimum charges, and virtually no jail time for an individual having these substances.

Commissioners said that the amount of fentanyl that is permitted for an individual to have would be enough to kill 100 people but would be a minor misdemeanor.

Commissioners unanimously agreed to oppose Issue One. In other matters, Commissioner Jeff Ohler advised that the sheriff if purchasing four Ford Explorers from Guess Motors, Inc. of Carrollton through the state purchasing program.

Ohler said that he checked with four banks for leasing options and said two of the banks didn’t respond at all to the request, one said they don’t do lease programs, and Huntington Bank said the principal amount would be $37,305 per unit. The interest rate will be 3.95% and also a $250 registration fee.

Sheriff Dale Williams will pay 33% of the total cost up front which will leave a balance of $77,305 to be financed. The

second and final payments will be due in Nov. 2020. A $1 buy out will finalize the purchase at the end of three years.

County Engineer Brian Wise received permission from commissioners through a resolution to change the speed limit on five different portions of roads in the county.

They are: Alamo Rd. between Canyon and Autumn Rd., Arrow Rd., between Bellflower and Canton, Azalea Rd., between Leesville corporation limit and the Harrison County line and Avalon Rd. between Magnolia and Gleco Rd. These sections will be reduced from 55 miles per hour to 45 mph.

Chase Rd., between Apollo and Pacific Rds. will change from 55 mph to 40 mph.

The paperwork will be submitted to the sheriff and will then go to the Ohio Department of Transportation for final approval before being implemented.

Wise said the 2018 paving projects are completed but there are few smaller issues they will still be taking care of such as a slip on Colony Rd. In other business commissioners: - AUTHORIZED a 1st Amendment agreement with a Road Use Maintenance Agreement with Rover Pipeline, LLC to permit adding office space to the compressor station at Leesville.

- AGREED to extend the 2018 Community Development Building Grant paving project by seven days for Barbicus Construction through Oct. 22.

- APPOINTED Ray Heaston to the Transportation Advisory Committee and Mathual Campbell as an alternate through Aug. 30, 2020.

- AUTHORIZED a special hauling permit for Top Notch Logging, LLC on Autumn Rd., Union Twp. A $50,000 bond has been posted as required by County Engineer Brian Wise.

- ALSO approved a special hauling permit for Stone Lick Timber Co. on Apollo Rd., Lee Twp. A $50,000 bond has been posted as required by County Engineer Brian Wise.

- RECEIVED the dog pound report with eight impounded, one adopted out, five redeemed, zero destroyed, one citation issued for no license and no citations issued for running at large.

Farm Bureau encourages ‘no’ vote on State Issue 1 The Ohio Farm Bureau Federation board of trustees has announced the organization’s opposition to State Issue 1, misleadingly called the Neighborhood Safety, Drug Treatment and Rehabilitation Amendment.

Farm Bureau, Ohio’s largest organization for farm, food and rural interests, believes Issue 1 is not a viable approach to the state’s opioid crisis.

“Our state and county Farm Bureaus have been at the forefront of drug abuse prevention in rural Ohio,” said Frank Burkett III, a dairy farmer and president of Ohio Farm Bureau.

“We’ve dug deeply into understanding Ohio’s massive drug problems. Issue 1 runs counter to much of what our members believe are effective steps to reducing the impact of drugs on our communities.”

The organization also believes that a constitutional amend-

ment is not the best mechanism for addressing Ohio’s addiction and drug trafficking problems, especially when the initiative is funded by large out-of-state interests.

Farm Bureau trustees also were concerned that Issue 1 would harm the Ohio court system’s ability to effectively deal with illegal drugs. Further, Issue 1 could be a heavy burden on Ohio taxpayers with few assurances of positive results.

Other concerns include negative impacts on crime rates and on the availability of a reliable workforce.

“Farm Bureau joins with law enforcement, judges and prosecutors, prevention agencies, business groups, elected officials, leading editorial boards and others to encourage Ohioans to vote no on State Issue 1,” Burkett said. “We need solutions to the drug crisis, but Issue 1 is not the answer.”

Election 2018

To assist our readers in making their choice for the State Representatives race for the 95th Ohio House District, The Free Press Standard asked the two candidates six questions to be answered in 3 or 4 sentences.

Following are the responses received from Don Jones, Republican candidate.

QUESTION 1: How do you feel about all the testing the state requires for students? And do you agree – and if you don’t - what changes will you propose to ensure public school students are not being over tested and judged on one standardized test?

RESPONSE: There is entirely too much testing in our educational system. I am for accountability and transparency, but there need to be limits. I have witnessed first hand the stress and anxiety that testing has created for students, parents, families and teachers.

Local school boards and administration should determine what is acceptable and reasonable for their students with To assist our readers in making their choice for the State Representative’s race for the 95th Ohio House District, The Free Press Standard asked the two candidates six questions to be answered in 3 or 4 sentences.

Following are the responses received from Dan Milleson, Democrat candidate.

QUESTION 1: How do you feel about all the testing the state requires for students? And do you agree – and if you don’t – what changes will you propose to ensure public school students are not being over tested and judged on one standardized test?

RESPONSE: Since No Child Left Behind was enacted, the emphasis on testing has inappropriately increased, such that testing has become an end in itself. Promised resources were never delivered to address achievement gaps, poverty remediation programs were never introduced, and efforts to change teacher development never came to fruition. Tests should be used as one of several paths toward graduation and not be high stakes situations that cost students and teachers lots of valuable time together. We need a freeze on new testing and report card components linked to testing until both (1) our approach to the role of testing in education has been rethought and (2) Ohio’s school funding is constitutionally funded.

QUESTION 2: Do you have any specific proposals or solu-

minimum guidelines from the State.

QUESTION 2: Do you have any specific proposals or solutions regarding the opioid Don problem in Ohio?

RESPONSE: The opioid problem is real and is going to take some time to fix, however,

DAN MILLESON

tions regarding the opioid problem in Ohio?

RESPONSE: Like many readers, I’ve seen classmates die, families fall apart, and courageous people overcome this.

I’ve seen communities band together to hunt for a comprehensive solution. Even if you don’t think that investing money towards potentially saving lives of people is “worth it”, there are numerous research studies and analyses that show the financial benefit to Ohio of investing resources towards the opioid crisis in the form of prevention, treatment, etc.

Essentially, investing that money saves money in the long run. And how many employers are having trouble finding employees? Actions in the short term: 1) Provide more resources

I believe that if officials work together with drug courts and professionals in the healthcare industry, a solution may be found. Issue 1 has to fail for this to happen, if not there will be few consequences for offenders and even less funds for treatment.

Educating the public on the issue has to be a priority; many people do not understand the impact that this problem is having on our society.

QUESTION 3: What will you do to support economic development as it relates to Carroll County and our public schools?

RESPONSE: I plan to work with local government officials to assist them in whatever capacity they need assistance with whether it be financial, regulatory or common sense. I am not afraid to fight for what is right and needed. Every situation is different and will need to be evaluated on an individual basis. Growth is a welcome sight in many counties and Carroll County is prime for continuing to grow!

QUESTION 4: Carroll County, for six years, was the epicenter for the oil & gas industry, now the county is seeing the decline as the boom corrects into everyday business – RUMA’s are over, businesses are leaving, real estate transactions are slowing and decreasing in the amount of sales and Local Government Funding through the state has been drastically slashed. What will you do to restore the Local Government Funding and/or increase the local share/return of the oil & gas industry that is being evenly split statewide?

RESPONSE: Local Government Funding is a concern in every county of the 95th district. I will work with my fellow lawmakers to restore as much as possible without raising taxes. However, we need to look at cutting/revising unfunded mandates that have been imposed on counties, as well as capturing as much of the severance and ad valorem tax as possible back to our counties. We need to work to develop new

industries and markets for the local areas.

QUESTION 5: Carroll County is noted for being one of the smallest and least populated counties in the state. Coupled with the size is a lack of good roads that connect to large urban areas, which result in a form of isolation. Healthcare, highways, internet, cellular service, and other basic quality of life features lack in the county.

What would you do as a representative to assist the county in obtaining the basic needs we need to live quality lives and attract economic development – specifically the extension of US Rt. 30 to the Pennsylvania line?

RESPONSE: The extension of Rt. 30 would be a shot in the arm for Carroll County. Infrastructure is key for economic success; quality roads, bridges, water and sewer systems and broadband/cell service all play a major part in economic development. It is my belief that these areas need to become priorities for the statehouse for ALL of Ohio, especially in

rural areas such as where we live. However, we also need to realize that we enjoy many qualities of life that are absent in other parts of the state with our abundant natural resources, clean water, healthy woodlands and quiet environment!

QUESTION 6: What personal qualities will you bring to the office that will make you an asset to the citizens of Carroll County once you are in Columbus?

RESPONSE: My experiences in the organizations that have prepared me for this position. I am involved in those organizations because I have a desire to serve those people with whom I live, work and associate with, to improve our quality of life in eastern Ohio.

My plan is to exert the same amount of energy and work into being your State Representative as I have into becoming the person I am today through my successes as a business owner, teacher/FFA advisor, community leader, father and husband.

to law enforcement and first responders; 2) Build a better network of treatment facilities; 3) Empower County-Wide Opioid task force coalitions; 4) Incentivize careers in social work, counseling, and other careers that can prepare an individual to have a one-to-one relationship with a recovering addict. We need more boots on the ground. [For more specific details, see Sen. Yuko & Sen. Schiavoni’s Senate Bill 154] QUESTION 3: What will you do to support economic development as it relates to Carroll County and our public schools?

RESPONSE: Our public school system is built to serve children from K-12. I believe we should start to serve them earlier. The great equalizer for children in poverty can be to get them into in the arms of an educator at an earlier age, so they are getting the same levels of social and intellectual stimulation. We could then provide them with the wraparound services of mental and physical health professionals. We must be bold and forward thinking about breaking the cycle of intergenerational poverty. After leveling the playing field, we must begin to prepare young people for the opportunity that may appear outside their window over the next 20 years. We must work to provide STEM classes at an earlier age, with a consistent dialogue between public schools, our vocational schools, and our job creators.

This path doesn’t have to be for everyone, but we must acknowledge the skills gap is here and it is getting wider. Let’s talk to our tradesmen and tradeswomen about that. It appears they are going to need apprentices. This requires action now.

QUESTION 4: Carroll County, for six years, was the epicenter of the oil-&-gas industry.

Now the county is seeing the decline as the boom corrects into everyday business – RUMA’s are over, businesses are leaving, real estate transactions are slowing and decreasing in the amount of sales and Local Government Funding through the state has been drastically slashed. What will you do to restore the Local Government Funding and or increase the local share/return of the oil-&gas industry that is being evenly split statewide?

RESPONSE: To demonstrate their priorities, Columbus legislators have padded a $2.7B checking account in Columbus the last eight years and continue to sit on it, while local taxpayers have to foot the bill for very important services such as, mental health levies, fire department levies, roads, water, sewer, and so on. I advocate for a state reinvestment in our hometowns.

I advocate for ending constant tax breaks to those who donate the max to campaigns. I advocate to end this current corporate welfare charade, while our Southeastern Ohio people get pounded with local levies. Actions to bring help to South-

eastern Ohio: 1) Increase local government funds to provide relief to local taxpayers; 2) Push for recently stalled legislation that makes $1B available to local governments to apply for grants and low interest loans to rebuild infrastructure. This will create jobs and free up other dollars for fire, police, and more essential services; 3) Push for recently stalled legislation that brings the lion’s share of oil and gas tax revenue back to your communities to help with roads, bridges, water, sewer, law enforcement, fire departments, and more.

QUESTION 5: Carroll County is noted for being one of the smallest and least populated counties in the state. Coupled with the size is a lack of good roads that connect to larger urban areas, which result in a form of isolation. Healthcare, highways, internet, cellular service, and other basic quality of life features lack in the county.

What would you do as a representative to assist the county in obtaining the basic needs we need to live quality lives and attract economic development – specifically the Extension of US Rt. 30 to the Pennsylvania line?

RESPONSE: I’ve spent a great deal of time in Carroll County and learned many of these issues first hand. House Bill 378 is a great place to start. This bipartisan piece of legislation brings $50M available per year for rural broadband internet businesses to apply for. It passed

resoundingly in the House.

Your current Representative voted against it. Carroll County would benefit greatly from this bill. Simple forward thinking on this, and all the other issues mentioned above will be an improvement. In short, I would support technology improvements for our people at every turn, support Medicaid expansion, which is the financial bedrock of rural hospitals, and work with anyone from any party to improve economic development, including the US Rt. 30 project.

QUESTION 6: What personal qualities will you bring to the office that will make you an asset to the citizens of Carroll County once you are in Columbus?

RESPONSE: I like to make things about the issues. My work ethic, energy, and new way of thinking have been demonstrated by my two campaign tours. Earlier this year, over a 36 consecutive day period, I stopped in 70 towns to learn their history, meet the people, and find the issues that need addressing. I shifted the focus to education this football season.

I am currently on a schedule of 10 high school football games in 10 weeks. I’m using this as an opportunity to meet with educators, administrators, parents, and those concerned with education. You can expect this same level of issues-based determination and community presence if you choose to put me in the Statehouse.

Gulfport Energy’s support boosts youth’s literacy skills Funding from Gulfport Energy is funding small libraries aimed at boosting literacy skills in youngsters.

Stanton and John Gregg Elementary Schools were the recipients of a $7,000 allocation from the company and will help establish leading libraries at the buildings targeting children up to age 5 and their families. Diana Morello-DiSerio, regional literacy specialist with State Support Team Region 12, submitted the Gulfport Energy Fund application for education

to enhance children’s vocabulary before they enter kindergarten.

Dr. Morello-DiSerio and Miguel Brun, intervention specialist and district literacy instruction coach, hope to assist more than 200 children who live in the rural communities and have no access to public libraries where they could read and participate in story time activities before entering preschool.

According to research, children who are exposed to books and families who share in meaningful “talk” are better prepared to

develop reading skills and are in better health throughout their lifespan. By forming the small libraries at the schools, families would have access to literature to help hone their child’s reading and vocabulary skills.

More ideas are to include guest visitors and readers with assistance from area churches and having the room made available to area in-home childcare programs for professional development.

The funding provided for books, furniture, shelving and

supplies for arts and crafts and other methods of learning.

One site has already been established at Stanton with another planned for John Gregg, and Morello-DiSerio said the library ties into the district’s goal of bolstering literacy skills in youth.

“The district is part of a state literacy pilot project and we’re working on language and literacy,” she explained. “There’s also a family involvement component and I’m aware that Edison has been doing great things through a previous Striving

Reader’s Grant. It’s in its third year and we’ll really be focusing on the family component in the lens of literacy. This mini-grant is for parents to have more access to things that will help increase their children’s language and literacy growth,” she added.

Morello-DiSerio said the interaction would also help initiate book handling skills, book knowledge and vocabulary. In addition to picture books and storybooks, the libraries are also stocked with puzzles, music, puppets and building blocks to

improve motor skills.

“We’re excited to get the grant so we could reach out to more parents as they come to school and see it as a place where everyone is learning,” she added.

District Assistant Superintendent Julie Kireta sees the additions as a plus for the schools.

“Parents of our preschoolers can come, sit, read books and borrow books from the library.

We want to encourage literacy and communication in our students as young as we can,” Kireta noted.

Warriors snap four-game losing skid; defeat Wildcats 38-14

By JORDAN MILLER

Sports Editor

CANTON - It’s been a long four weeks for the Carrollton Warriors football team. Following a 3-1 start to the season, Carrollton fell of the grid losing four-consecutive contests.

The Warriors had something to prove Friday night while taking on the Canton South Wildcats but they had to overcome one mishap early.

On Carrollton’s first possession of the game, the Warriors coughed up the ball at midfield. The Wildcats scooped the ball and returned it over 50 yards for a touchdown, giving themselves an early 7-0 lead.

“It wasn’t good, it wasn’t good but we stayed the course,” Carrollton coach Phil Mauro said. “We threw the ball well, I thought Teagin [Mohn] stepped up and threw the ball very well. It was just a great team win tonight.”

Carrollton’s offense started to click in the second quarter, scoring 20 unanswered points, going on to win 38-14.

“I’m just proud of our guys,” Carrollton coach Phil Mauro said following his team’s victory. “Our coaches did a great job preparing them, our kids played hard.”

Ryan Walker, who was a running force in this one, scored from one yard out with 7:51 left in the first half. Walker finished the game one-yard shy of 200 yards on 36 carries. Teagin Mohn

scored on the two-point conversion to put Carrollton ahead 8-7.

Nearly seven minutes passed by before the Warriors found the end zone again.

The Warriors forced a Canton South punt with 6:25 left in the second quarter and took over at their own 17yard-line.

A pair of runs by Walker and Mohn gave the Warriors a first down.

The longest play of the drive was an 11-yard scramble by Mohn.

The Warriors chipped 5:24 off the clock and capped it off with an eightyard touchdown run by Mohn. The two-point attempt was no good and Carrollton led 14-7 with 1:01 remaining in the second.

Mohn finished the game with 121 yards on 19 rushes.

On the Wildcats first play following Carrollton’s touchdown, Connor King came up with a strip-sack on Canton South’s quarterback, Riley James, giving the Warriors the ball at their opponent’s 39-yard-line with 50 seconds left in the game.

The Warriors showed a little trickery toward the end of the half.

Jake Kopko got the ball on a reverse play and fired it down the field to a wide-open Braden Wells for a 42-yard gain. Walker capped off the drive with his second touchdown of the game, this time from two yards out.

Carrollton took a 20-7 lead into the locker room at halftime.

Shansky honored for 600th career win SALINEVILLE- Southern Local High School volleyball coach Robert Shansky was honored for more than 600 wins, highlighting a storied career that is far from over.

Shansky, who has been coaching for 43 years, was surprised with a plaque from Southern Local Superintendent Tom Cunningham and Assistant Principal Ron Sines who praised him for his milestone and his dedication to the sport and school.

“I have a lot of respect for him and what he’s done for the kids,” said Cunningham.

Sines touted Shansky’s work with

athletics and said he did plenty of work behind the scenes.

“What he does with the entire athletic department is impressive. He puts in a lot of time and we really appreciate it.”

Shansky’s journey began when he was teaching at East Liverpool High School, where he recalled being tapped for the role.

“It was my second year of teaching and [then-ELHS Principal] John Weaver told me it was my job now. It was a relatively new sport at the high school and I had a college course in it,” he said.

He commented that the game was

vastly different than with only a 12game season and different rules. Today, teams play 22 games and the sport is much more competitive. During his time at ELHS, his coaching would bring success to the school and his teams garnered a staggering 514 wins by the time he joined Southern Local in 2014. That momentum continued in Indian Territory with Southern Local teams racking up more than 80 wins and other honors, including two ITCL championships, three EOAC titles and two OVAC Division II-A wins in a row.

Cardinals end 62-year drought, win conference title

By JORDAN MILLER

Sandy Valley sophomore quarterback Cam Blair (10) airs the ball out to his wide receiver, Brodie Kelly (fore ground) in Friday night’s win against Buckeye Trail.

MAGNOLIA - A lot has happened in 62 years.

We’ve elected 11 new presidents and put a man on the moon. We’ve created the first mobile phone and the Cavaliers have won an NBA championship.

While all those things were happening, there was one thing that wasn’t; Sandy Valley winning a conference title.

The Cardinals had not won a conference title since 1956 (when Dwight D. Eisenhower) was president, but they ended that Friday night with a 47-18 win over Buckeye Trail.

As of right now, the Cardinals hold a share of the Inter-Valley Conference (IVC) North title but with a win this Friday against Malvern, that would make the Cardinals the outright

champions.

The Cardinals wanted it, and they wanted it bad.

Sandy Valley jumped out of the gates and never looked back against Buckeye Trail.

Brandon O’Bradovich scored on a two-yard touchdown run five minutes into the game.

Demetrius Evans hauled in a pair of 30-yard plus touchdown passes from Cam Blair in the opening quarter to put the Cards ahead 20-0.

The touchdown passes to Evans were 44 yards and 32 yards.

A little over a minute into the second quarter, Buckeye Trail got on the board with a 30-yard touchdown pass and trailed 206 after failing on a two-point conversion.

The Cardinals responded with a 30-yard touchdown pass of their own, two minutes later.

Blair connected with Brodie

Kelly to put the Cardinals up 27-6.

Buckeye Trail’s Tyler King hauled in a three-yard touchdown pass but failed again on the two-point attempt.

Sandy Valley led 27-12 with 3:32 left in the second quarter.

O’Bradovich scored from two yards out and Brady Russell caught a 57-yard touchdown pass from Blair to extend Sandy Valley’s lead to 40-12 at halftime.

O’Bradovich scored again in the third quarter from a yard out to put his team ahead 4712.

With the win, the Cardinals improve to 8-1 on the season and currently sit seventh in the region for the playoffs. Top eight qualify.

Sandy Valley will travel to Malvern to take on the Hornets Friday night. Kick off is scheduled for 7 p.m.

Stafford wins district championship; Minerva teams qualify to regional meet CAMBRIDGE - The Minerva Lions boys and girls cross country teams finished as district runners-up at the Division II district race Saturday morning at Cambridge.

Stafford was followed closely by junior teammate Nick

Bledsoe. He placed sixth with a time of 17:22.3.

Minerva freshman Connor Shingleton placed just outside of the top-10, at 12th, with a time of 17:33.8.

Freshman Trevor Slider placed 21st with a time of 17:57.5 and Ben Brady placed 28th with a time of 18:07.9. Jack Spall placed 77th for Minerva with a time of 19:28.8.

Minerva junior John Fink placed 95th, running a time of

20:12.4.

All of the Minerva Lady Lions placed in the top-50.

Sarah Carver set the pace for Minerva with a fourth place finish, running a time of 19:53.5.

Minerva freshman Jenna Cassidy placed ninth with a time of 20:16.8.

Nelle Yankovich finished right outside of the top 10, placing 11th with a time of 20:21.8.

Kala Eddy ran a 20:34.3,

placing 18th.

Freshman Madeline Crissman posted a time of 21:19.8, placing 30th, and sophomore Abby Chaddock placed 36th with a time of 21:40.2.

Abby Dunham finished 44th with a time of 22:05.9.

The Minerva boys and girls cross country teams will race at the regional tournament Saturday, Oct. 27 with hopes of advancing to National Trail Raceway for the OHSAA state tournament.

CHS soccer team falls to Minerva 7-0 in first round of sectional tournament MINERVA - The Carrollton boys soccer team fell 7-0 in their season finale to Minerva and fell by the same score in the first round of the East District tournament.

“We battled tonight,” said Carrollton’s coach AJ Atkinson.

“We forced Minerva to play tonight, they weren’t able to play down to our talent and still get a victory; the first seven minutes were evidence to this.”

Minerva led 3-0 at the half and began to build that lead early, scoring on their first possession

of the game.

Carrollton’s Evan Meek finished with 22 saves and Jordan Poracky recorded two.

“We kept fighting though,” Atkinson said. “It wasn’t until halfway through the second half did Minerva begin to pull

away.”

“I’d also like to recognize our seniors,” Coach said. “They were all great role models and will be missed.”

The Carrollton soccer team finished 3-12-1 overall and 1-5 in the conference.

Alliance doubles up Minerva 42-21 MINERVA - It was a tough senior night for the Minerva Lions as they dropped to 0-9 for the fourth straight season, never winning a home game in their career, falling to Alliance 42-21.

Minerva scored early, once in the first quarter and two times

in the second, taking a 21-0 lead into halftime.

The Aviators added another pair of touchdowns in the third quarter on a pass of nine yards and a run of 19.

The Minerva Lions did all their scoring in the final quarter

of play.

Minerva sophomore Garrison Markins found his way to the end zone twice on rushes of 34 yards and 52 yards. Markins finished the game with 19 carries for 141 yards.

Steve Place added another touchdown on a five-yard run.

Zerrick Banner converted all the PATs for the Lions.

The Lions will travel to Carrollton to take on the Warriors Friday, Oct. 26.

The Warriors enter the game at 4-5, coming off a win over Canton South.

The Carrollton high school, junior high, and youth wrestling staff are teaming up to hold their annual novice clinic for any first and second year wrestlers (grades K – 6). “This

clinic is a great opportunity to learn the basic rules and technique to wrestling,” said camp officials.

The camp is free and runs Oct. 30, 31 and Nov. 1 from 5:30-7

p.m. each day.

On Nov. 3 from 9-11 a.m., the camp will conclude with a tournament for those who participated.

The clinic will be held in the

Bell-Herron gymnasium.

Wrestlers are required to wear shorts, tee shirt and wrestling/tennis shoes.

Awards will be given out to the participants at the tournament.

The Warriors’ defense came up big, dropping Canton South’s running back in the end zone, scoring a safety.

Walker added his third touchdown of the game on a nine-yard run with 2:22 left in the third quarter. Mohn’s twopoint conversion was good.

Bryce Carte scored his first high school touchdown at the beginning of the fourth quarter from a yard out to give Carrollton a 38-7 lead.

“I’m just proud that they stayed with it,” Mauro said as he spoke about the Warriors fourgame losing streak. “Sometimes

it’s easy to just throw in the towel and we definitely haven’t done that. Real proud to come out and get a big dub tonight.”

The Warriors finished the game with 442 yards of total offense, including 59 passing yards and 383 rushing.

The Warriors will host their

rival, Minerva, Friday night at Community Field. The winner of the game will claim the Rotary Traveling Trophy, which Carrollton has acquired the last three years. Minerva comes into the game 0-9, as they did last season, but they took Carrollton to double overtime last year.

600TH WIN FROM P. 7 SLHS has also ranked as high as eighth through the Ohio High School Volleyball Coaches’ Association and earned district runner-up and sectional championship titles over the past three years.

But he still keeps tabs on former players through social media and recalled an alumni game during his final year at East Liverpool which brought back many of his past athletes.

Shansky has even made the sport a family affair by coaching

his five daughters or having them assist with coaching or another capacity, plus his wife Ann has kept the scorebook. He was proud to see a dozen former players move on to play in college, including recent SLHS grad Lizzie Willis who is at Notre Dame College near Cleveland, while others have gone on to become coaches themselves.

“I’m just happy that I’ve had the opportunity and volleyball is a great tradition. The kids are very

hardworking and it’s been nice to continue,” he said. “I’ve had outstanding coaches over the years and I can’t do anything without my family’s support. When you’ve been in it as long as I have, you meet so many people along the way who are so helpful.”

Shansky said he has honed his coaching skills by watching others, adding that the biggest compliment a coach can receive is when someone copies his or her move or play. In addition to coaching, he acts as athletic

director and also teaches three courses at the high school.

Shansky praised the staff and administration at Southern, noting he had a great working relationship with them.

When asked if he will continue, he said he plans to remain active for as long as possible.

“It’s been a thrill,” he concluded.

“It’s been a great road, a long road. [I will continue] as long as I love what I do. I have been very fortunate.”

Tickets are now on sale for the annual wrestling steak fry.

The steak fry is scheduled for Nov. 17 at the Carrollton Vets

Edison HS to hold Oktoberfest Edison High School will be the haunt for costumed boys and girls during the seventh annual Oktoberfest celebration Saturday, Oct. 27.

Organizer Fatima Smuck, district administrative assistant, said activities will get under way from noon to 2 p.m. at the high school and all of the fun is free. District kids and their families can enjoy lots of treats without the tricks this Halloween season, including games, pumpkin decorating, inflatables, hayrides, fire trucks and more.

“We’re planning on having candy treats and chips at many stations located throughout the school, free hot dogs, water, cotton candy and popcorn, a literacy booth where preschool and kindergarten students will receive a free fall or Hallow-

een-themed book, a costume parade and local fire departments with fire trucks.”

The costume parade is set for 1:15 p.m. and will include judging and prizes for the best ensemble. One new addition is horse-drawn hayrides instead of horsepower-led tractors. Smuck said the first event was held in 2010 and it has drawn hundreds of people every year.

“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. “We have over 500 people attend our event. It is free of charge and a good time for the students and their families.”

All children must be accompanied by an adult for the festivities.

CONSERVATIVE PRINCIPLES OF LIFE I respect our Second Amendment Rights & Religious Freedom.

I have hunted, handled & owned my own guns since age 14.

I honor and respect Veterans and their families.

I believe that the lives of unborn children should be protected.

INDEPENDENT, IMPARTIAL, NON-PARTISAN This year & in 2006 & 2012 I paid my own campaign expenses.

I do not solicit or accept donations.

I care about the public’s confidence & perception of my impartiality, fairness & integrity as a Judge. In my opinion, my opponent’s soliciting thousands of dollars in campaign donations and running a “smear campaign” conflicts with these desired judicial qualities.

MY STEADY HARD WORK HAS REDUCED THE COURT’S CASE DOCKET My criminal, divorce & civil docket is at an all time low. I have completed 303 cases already this year of the 402 cases assigned to my court, leaving 99 active cases remaining through August 31, 2018.

MY DECISIONS HAVE BEEN ACCURATE Of my 6200 cases/decisions less than 5 have been reversed.

DRUG COURT CONSIDERATIONS I have often considered whether to apply for a “Drug Court” grant.

Drug courts need in the range of $250,000.00 per year to operate.

Grant monies come from taxpayers. When grants run out, county taxpayers must pick up the tab or the Drug Court Program ends. Carroll County taxpayers already pay for our court, the Public Defenders office to represent the defendants and our probation department, to handle these cases.

Drug cases, like all cases that come before this court, are handled by balancing community needs, rights and protections with those of each defendant. I have an excellent Adult Probation Department and staff.

They supervise all drug case treatment in lieu cases and drug defendants on probation. They weekly drug test and make all probationers comply with all drug and alcohol counseling court orders. We make all our referrals to Comm Quest and RU Recovery Program.

VICTIMS OF CRIME RECEIVE RESTITUTION In 2017, I collected $42,000 in restitution and returned these funds to victims of crime.

CONVICTED DRUG DEFENDANTS GO TO PRISON I sentenced 320 defendants to prison since 2007.

I sentenced 75 defendants in drug related cases to a combined total of 100 years in prison.

In 2017, I sent 26 defendants to prison.

PROBATION VIOLATORS GO TO PRISON, EOCC AND JAIL In 2018, 55 persons on probation from our court violated their probation rules. I sent 15 of these violators to prison.

Six were sentenced to EOCC for 6 months incarceration.

27 violators received additional local jail time.

7 violation cases are pending.

I HAVE EARNED MY EXPERIENCE I have 40 years Criminal, Civil and Divorce-Custody law and judicial experience. I tried 60 jury trials as a practicing attorney and dozens of jury and bench trials as a trial Judge. I’m a Certified Death Penalty Case Qualified Attorney and Judge. As an attorney and Judge I have tried murder jury trial cases.

I respectfully ask for your support & vote this October & November. When it comes to our Common Pleas Court Judge, Commitment to Community, Competency, Fairness,Trust, Integrity and Experience matter.

Thank you to all my supporters from all political parties.

HOME IMPROVEMENT

Is your heating system ready for cool weather?

(StatePoint) Savvy homeowners know that with cool weather, comes a bit of preparation.

A quick audit of your heating equipment can mean less wasted energy, a more comfortable home and lower energy bills.

Nearly half of all heating and cooling equipment in U.S. homes never performs to its advertised capacity and efficiency due to incorrect installation, according to U.S. government estimates. And if you have an older system that was built before current efficiency standards, you could be spending more than needed on heating your home.

If it is time to replace your system, be sure to have it properly installed by an HVACR professional, certified by North American Technician Excellence (NATE), the nation’s largest nonprofit certification body for HVACR technicians.

NATE-certified technicians are skilled professionals who have

proven their knowledge in the HVACR industry by passing specialized certification tests.

“The NATE-certified techs who perform maintenance and repairs do a consistently great job. We never have any concerns if the job is done right,” says Rob Kirkpatrick, a longstanding customer of Thermal Services, a Nebraska-based contractor.

Beyond having an efficient heating system properly installed, you can prepare for the season in the following ways: • Clean heating filters. Check them every couple of weeks and change them at least twice in the season, or as directed by the manufacturer.

• Check and maintain insulation. Improperly insulated walls, floors, attics, basements and crawlspaces drain away heat and can also lead to moisture imbalance.

doors can also improve a home’s insulation.

• Turn down the thermostat or install a programmable thermostat to regulate temperature.

• Clean the furnace area. Do not keep chemicals or cleaning products near a heater, and do not store anything next to it that could impede ventilation.

• Free all vents and returns of obstructions. Do not lay carpet over vents, place furniture over or in front of them, or obstruct the flow of air.

• Dry air feels cooler than moist air, so install a humidifier. A simple humidifier may make the home feel five degrees warmer than a home with dry air.

• Look into geothermal heating systems which use earth’s natural heat and are among the most efficient and energy-conserving heating and cooling technologies currently available.

• For optimal performance of your HVAC system, get an annual service contract which includes both heating and cooling maintenance. But take care to avoid poor service and scams.

(StatePoint) Is it time to replace your home’s entry door? If your foyer is drafty, the answer is yes. Particularly with winter around the corner.

Not only will a new door boost exterior appeal, it will prepare interiors for a temperature dip, making your home more comfortable, while saving you money on utility bills.

So, what should you be looking for in a door?

• A tailored fit. Nothing feels quite as good as well-tailored clothing created specifically to your size, shape and style preference. Off-the-rack clothing just does not fit everyone’s measurements.

Similarly, off-the-rack doors fall short of expectations in the same way. The materials and workmanship that go into custom-made doors are of exceptional quality and durability, and far exceed what is available as ready-made.

Unlike consumer-grade doors, which are cut down to fit your need, professional-class doors are built to your exact measurements for a more secure and energy efficient door.

• Energy efficiency. Look for ENERGY STAR certified doors, which have been independently tested and certified to meet strict energy-efficiency standards set by the Environmental Protection Agency.

While a new door does come with a price tag, it’s important

This fall, set yourself up for a comfortable winter. Upgrade your entry door for substantial energy savings and a more secure home.

to keep in mind that the right choice can help you lower your utility bills and ultimately present a return on your investment.

• Quality materials. While wood doors offer a beautiful classic look, they require regular maintenance and lack the endurance, security and energy efficiency of fiberglass or steel.

Consider opting for quality materials that will last a long time but not force you to sacrifice the look you want.

For example, the low-maintenance fiberglass options offered by door system manufacturer ProVia include the Signet and Heritage collections and provide the classic look of real woodgrain, but are engineered to be highly energy efficient.

The Legacy steel collection provides durability and energy efficiency, whether you opt for a woodgrain texture or smooth steel look, and is a good choice if security is your top priority.

• The right style. When select-

ing a style and color, take into consideration the current architectural elements of your home.

Use online tools that allow you to upload an image of your home’s exterior and play with various combinations to determine the right fit.

Keep in mind that an entry door can either be a place to maintain the overall mood of your home’s exterior or a way to add a pop of color.

Weatherization myths – debunked!

(StatePoint) Weatherizing your home for each season can make it more comfortable – but how to do it can be confusing.

Here are four common weatherizing myths – busted! – to help get your home ready for cooler weather to come.

Myth 1: It does not matter where your thermostat is placed.

Truth: Location, location, location! You may be spending more on heating and cooling than you need to be if your thermostat is in the wrong place. Placed in direct sunlight, you run the risk of getting false readings, as it can “think� the room is warmer than it actually feels, causing your air conditioner to turn on when it is not needed.

Similarly, a thermostat placed near the kitchen often reads

that the home is far warmer than it truly is due to the stove and oven. The best location is on an interior wall, centrally located and near areas where you spend the most time, ensuring these rooms are the most comfortable.

Myth 2: Closed curtains and blinds in cold weather prevent heat escape.

Truth: According to the Department of Energy, shades and drapes can reduce heat loss from a warm room by up to 10 percent.

However, opening curtains and blinds during the day when direct sunlight hits can also allow for a warming effect.

In winter, draperies should be closed at dusk, but opened at dawn.

In addition, heat escape through windows can be pre-

5 tips to bring your home’s Wi-Fi ‘dead zones’ to life

Black and white: A reemerging home design trend

(StatePoint) Whether it is to stream a movie from the bedroom or lock the front door using smart home technology, you have likely come to expect Wi-Fi to reach every corner of your house.

The reality is that there are certain locations in many homes where Internet-connected devices and smartphones are unable to receive a steady Wi-Fi signal (or any signal at all) from the router. These sad places are called “dead zones.� “Dead zones typically include bathrooms, second- and third-story bedrooms, attics, basements, garages and back patios -- and they can drive everyone in the house absolutely crazy,� says Jeff Parker, the “WiFi Guru,� and editor of the Milo Wi-Fi Blog, a source for practical advice, new products, and leading-edge technology dedicated to enhancing the Wi-Fi experience.

So, given today’s basement-to-attic demand for Wi-Fi access, what is the most economical and effective strategy for winning the battle against dead zones in your home? Parker offers five no-cost/low-cost suggestions: 1. Keep your router away from metal. Objects such as mirrors, televisions, appliances or anything large made primarily of metal (i.e. decorative furniture, filing cabinets, even fish tanks!) have the potential to impair your network’s signal strength.

If possible, move such items and your router apart.

2. Switch to a less crowded frequency. In living spaces like apartment buildings, too many broadcasting networks can interfere with each other and impact Wi-Fi quality. Because routers broadcast across two wireless frequency bands, 2.4 and 5 GHz, when one is too crowded it acts like a highway packed with cars. The good news is you can usually switch frequencies within your mobile device settings to use the less crowded channel.

3. Reboot regularly. Routers asked to complete many requests, such as handing out multiple IP addresses to different devices and handling large downloads, can end up slowing down because of the heavy workload. You can think of rebooting your router as basically refreshing it and clearing any memory or stalled tasks.

4. Get the latest hardware. If you are still using that dinosaur router from the early 2000s, it is probably time for an upgrade.

Outfitting your home with a smarter and more advanced router could be the solution to your Wi-Fi woes, especially if your existing router is a very old model with limited capabilities.

Internet service providers often provide router upgrades by request for no charge.

5. Consider a distributed mesh Wi-Fi system. For Wi-Fi that reaches farther, consider a mesh Wi-Fi system, which consists of a main router connected to a modem and a series of satellite Wi-Fi distribution modules placed throughout the house.

Those from Milo provide a strong uninterrupted signal to every Wi-Fi device in the home, from attic to basement. To learn more, visit milowifi.com or call 1-877-426-6456.

Don’t just live with the dead zones in your home. By taking a few simple steps, you can enjoy a more satisfying Wi-Fi experience.

(StatePoint) Black and white always has been a classic color pairing, and this neutral palette has resurged as one of today’s hottest design trends.

Whether your look is modern or traditional, knowing how to properly use black and white can provide balance and boldness to a home. Here are some tips to help integrate this trend into your space. • Create a Luxurious Living Room. They say the darker the wall color, the smaller the space feels -- but that is not entirely true when black walls are paired with the right light accents. In the right instances, black and white go together like yin and yang, transforming living rooms into picture-perfect spaces. “You can either go heavy on the black, with black painted walls or wallpaper, or make it the accent color and opt for white walls,â€? says Danielle DeBoe Harper, interior designer and senior creative content manager at Moen, a leading manufacturer of kitchen and bath fixtures. “In a white-heavy room, include touches like artwork in black frames, a black fireplace or a black painted floor and ceiling moldings. In a black-heavy area, use white trim and rugs to offset dark walls for a contemporary look, or organic wood accents to create a unique boho feel.â€?

In modern homes, DeBoe Harper recommends incorporating a pair of bold buffalo

vented with window insulation products, such as Duck brand Roll-On Window Kits, which create a barrier between outdoor air and a home’s interior, helping block drafts and air leaks.

It is also a myth that these are hard to install: A pre-taped edge makes for easy roll-on application, requiring no measuring, while fitting snuggly to indoor window frames to provide an airtight, crystal-clear seal.

Myth 3: It is expensive to draft-proof your home.

Truth: Homeowners can actually save hundreds of dollars annually on heating and cooling costs with proper weatherization early in the season. How do you do it? There are many inexpensive, do-it-yourself weatherization products that are easy on the wallet and easy

Consider combining a matte black faucet, such as Moen’s Sleek kitchen faucet, with a white backsplash and counters, or mixing black bentwood cafÊ chairs around a modern white tulip table for a more eclectic approach. • Shower Your Bathroom with Style. Black and white can give your bathroom a clean, crisp look. Infuse black accents through a matte black faucet and coordinating accessories, like those from Moen’s Genta bathroom suite, or through black and white floor tiles in a geometric print. Towels also

provide an opportunity to add texture and visual interest, whether it is a modern floral or traditional houndstooth.

For a seriously eye-catching shower, install black and white striped tile. Keep the bathroom’s walls white, so the tiles really pop, expanding the stripes to the ceiling to emphasize the height of your bathroom walls and make it feel bigger -- the thinner the stripes, the bigger the statement. “Integrating black and white makes your space feel sophisticated, yet playful and on trend,� adds DeBoe Harper. “Use these tips to achieve the ideal balance in your home.�

Windows and doors are the two largest draft sources in any home and should be top priorities for homeowners. Duck brand MAX Strength Silicone Weatherstrip Seals are quick to install and seal various size gaps around windows and doors that may be allowing air to escape.

Myth 4: It is cheaper to keep your home at a constant temperature.

Truth: A common misconception is that it is better to keep your home at a constant temperature, even when you are not home. However, if the system runs less during the day, it uses less energy.

Guest Column - Finding Your Ancestors

By NANCY SCHAAR

FPS Correspondent, Professional Genealogist & Historian With the holiday season quickly approaching, it is a great opportunity to spend time with extended family members that includes the older generation.

Older family members delight in telling stories about their youth, where they went to school, how things were taught “back then”, the difference in clothing, in games, in family activities, the importance of the local church to the family, their first jobs, military service, and so much more.

One of the most frequently asked questions I received as a professional researcher all these years has been to find out the names of someone’s grandparent.

The grandparent was referred to as Grandpa Schaar or Grandma Brown. First names were not used. And it is surprising how many people, who lost their grandparents at a younger age, do not know the first names or maiden names of their grandparents.

My father’s parents divorced when he was two years old. He was raised by a wonderful step-father. But his biological father or that family was never mentioned, never spoken of. He didn’t know their names. He didn’t know where they lived. He knew nothing of that part of his heritage.

After the death of his mother and his step-father he asked me to find those missing family members. I did. It turns out the family lived only a few miles away but in another county. It meant a great deal to my father to know who his grandparents were, how they lived, the details of their lives. But it also saddened him to know they were so close and he never knew them.

These names people search for are usually listed in an obituary of a spouse or a sibling or their parents.

If you visit a cemetery where your grandparents are buried, always look around those graves. You will usually find other generations such as your grandparents parents. Aunts, uncles, cousins, will be buried in a familiar area of the same cemetery.

One common thread found in family stories before 1980, are the babies or young children that died. It is very common when grandparents or great grandparents graves are found that you will find the grave of an infant or maybe even several small children that were born to your family that have never been mentioned.

Earlier generations did not openly discuss the heart break of the loss of small children. It was common for families to endure the death of one or more small children due to fever’s or other epidemics that swept through neighborhoods.

You can see groups of small headstones in cemeteries that all belong to one family. The family contracted the disease and the small ones were too weak to survive. My family cemetery has a grouping of six children all under the age of 10.

They all died from the measles epidemic in 1918.

They all died in the span of a week. Sadly, it happened that way sometimes.

Those wounds to the heart were kept close and not openly discussed.

While you visit with family members this holiday season, take some time to listen to the older generation as they tell you the family stories of years gone by. Watch their faces light up as you show an interest in their lives.

In the early 1980s, I went to visit a brother to my grandmother. She had been gone for several years. But her brother was 90 and a kind, gentle

soul with a twinkle in his eye and generous laughter as he told the stories of his childhood, which included stories about my grandmother.

This was before cell phones, before video recordings, but I did take a tape recorder and my camera. He let me photograph his old, old family photos and I cherish those prints today.

I treasure the cassette tape I used and it still holds the crackle of his voice, and I can still hear the joy in his voice as he told the stories of long ago. I would love to have a video recording of that. His voice sounded so much like grandma’s.

We have so many devices now that make recording any event a simple task.

Ask a few questions to get them talking and then treasure the time with them while you still have them. Sadly, many people don’t begin a family search until after the older members are gone.

While siblings are clearing out mom and dad’s house, they discover old photos, pieces of furniture, old Bible’s and other items that they don’t know who they are or who they belonged to.

Now is the time to ask those questions about not only their childhood, but also the childhood of their parents or grandparents.

You can find birth dates. You can find death dates. You can find where they lived, went to church, or are buried through a variety of primary source documents.

I love finding out how grandparents met. Most of the time, they grew up in the same neighborhood. But I will always wonder how my grandparents met. No one ever asked. And none of their seven children know the story either.

Grandma was raised in southern Indiana in a very small community. Grandpa was raised in Illinois, also in a very small community. And in that area in 1924 transportation between communities barely existed. And yet they found each other. Raised seven children and lived a good, long life together.

Dates and places can be found in court, church, or other records. But the story behind that date and place can’t be found in a historical document.

My mom grew up in southern Indiana. She had an older sister who had married and moved to the big city where her husband found work. My mom stayed with her in the summer and found jobs to help the family. Times were tough in those days. And everyone contributed if they could.

She was a waitress in small diner. My dad was in that big city to go to Bible college to become a minister. He drove a city bus to pay his way through school. That explains how he got to Anderson, Indiana when he was from Plum Run in Harrison County.

They met because he stopped at that little diner because it was close to college and affordable for a college student. And there was mom. It took him weeks to work up the nerve to talk to her.

Then it took him weeks to work up the courage to actually ask her out on a date.

In fact, he had supper at the diner one night, and left the diner and went to the pay phone on the corner and called her to ask her out. He did this several times before she said yes. And love was found, they married, raised a family of four daughters, grandchildren and great grandchildren. And were more in love 50 years later than they were 50 years before.

But that story isn’t going to be found in a book or a court record or document.

Do you know how your grandparents met? How long did “they court”? Where did he take her on a first date? Ask questions now because the answers to the questions will be gone and you won’t have another opportunity.

The stories are gone when these older generations are gone. And those answers can’t be found if they aren’t told and remembered now.

Sherry’s Book Corner Hi kids! Are you all ready for Halloween?

Just think... next Wednesday you’ll be out and about collecting your favorite treats. And how about those school Halloween parties, are they fun or what? In case you didn’t know, Halloween began more than 2,000 years ago. The custom of trick-or-treating may have started in England or Ireland. Also, long ago in Ireland, people believed evil spirits were afraid of light. People began making lanterns. They cut the center out of turnips and put candles in them.

After the Irish came to America, pumpkins were easier to find. So they used pumpkins instead of turnips. They called the lighted pumpkins jack-o-lanterns. Now we carve our pumpkins. And the neat part is, we can make them any way we want. When I was a kid, my dad carved the best pumpkins ever! I always thought mine was the best pumpkin on the block! This book is a story in rhyme.

Coach Rutigliano meets fans at Shrivers grand opening

By NANCY SCHAAR FPS Correspondent Well known football coach, Sam Rutigliano, was on hand Saturday to greet fans during the grand opening of Shrivers Pharmacy in Carrollton.

He signed autographs, posed for photos and enjoyed talking to the public.

Rutigliano is a former NFL and college football coach, and current television football analyst for WEWS, the ABC affiliate in Cleveland, Rutigliano, 85, grew up in Brooklyn, NY, and played high school football at Erasmus Hall High School.

He played college ball in Tennessee and coached at the high school level in New York, Connecticut and Maryland. His first stint as an assistant pro football coach was for the Denver Broncos in 1967. He was also an assistant coach for New England Patriots, New York Jets, and the New Orleans Saints. He was then hired in 1978 as the head coach for the Cleveland Browns.

His Cleveland Brown’s team

was nicknamed the Kardiac Kids and he received the NFL Coach of the Year Award for the 1980 season.

During the next few years, Rutigliano served as a sports analyst for NBC and ESPN before taking the head coaching job at Liberty University. He retired from there in 1999.

He has been at WEWS-TV 5 for ABC in Cleveland since 2011 as a Browns analyst.

“I had coached for three high schools, three colleges, five teams of the NFL, 25 years there. I had enough,” said Rutigliano with a big grin.

“Ten or twelve still live in Cleveland and they still come around. Yeah, Brian still comes over,” said Rutigliano when asked if he still sees some of the men he coached. He still hears from superstars that he coached such as Brian Sipe, Ozzie Newsome, Clay Matthews, and others.

He said he and his wife had a home in Cleveland on 11 acres that they loved. And when he was coaching at Liberty University, they kept the home in

Cleveland for their retirement.

He said he was glad they did because it was home. He has two daughters that live in Cleveland, three grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren now.

“We left in 1984 and was at Liberty for 10 years. My wife, she had 19 moves and our kids were in 23 schools,” said Rutigliano.

Rutigliano says he enjoys staying in one place these days and especially enjoys his family.

And even at 85, he keeps busy with radio commentary and enjoys still being in the business.

Shrivers Pharmacy is open 9 a.m.-7 p.m. Monday-Friday, 9 a.m.-3 p.m. Saturday and is closed Sunday. It offers free delivery in town, as well as delivery out-of-town for a fee.

Neil Stone serves as pharmacist in charge with a staff pharmacist and two technicians.
