Carroll County Sheriff Dale Williams is grateful that the total number of traffic fatalities this year has been limited to one. But he says that one is still too many. Traffic fatalities totaled three in 2015, in 2016 there were five. In 2017 there were six vehicle fatalities and in 2018 the county had three. Colton James Boring was killed May 12 after a car crash on State Route 39. Boring’s pickup truck had went left of center, traveled down an embankment, into a ditch, and then into a tree. He was pronounced dead at the scene by

Carroll County Coroner Dr. Mandal B. Haas. He was 22 years old and his family was from Dover. He was to be married next month. Williams thought the county had been counted with two traffic fatalities this year. On March 7, a Pennsylvania truck driver had crashed his tanker on Scio Road. But it was learned through the autopsy that he suffered a medical death. He had a major coronary and died before the truck crashed so his death was not ruled a traffic fatality. “One death is one too many. Our whole department has made ourselves very visible. Seeing us makes people

ORDC approves $100,000 for rail improvements by Griffeth and Son Trucking On Sept. 25, the Ohio Rail Development Commission (ORDC) approved a grant award in the amount of $100,000 to Griffeth and Son Trucking, located in Carrollton, Carroll County. This award is part of a $1.2 million investment by the company that will create 40 new jobs and retain 30 jobs in Carrollton. The project involves the installation of rail, purchasing loading and unloading equipment and additional site preparation costs. Rail service to the facility will be provided by Wheeling & Lake Erie Railway. Founded in 1989, Griffeth and Son Trucking serves the waste hauling, oil field and stone industries. The company plans to acquire the former Heritage Plastics facility to use it for transloading stone for various customers. Jim Griffeth, Griffeth and Son Trucking president, said “This grant will assist us in building a rail spur to serve

our customers. We plan to reactivate a spur that has been inactive for three years.” Matthew Dietrich, executive director of the ORDC, said “This project supports economic development in the area by providing an Ohio company with rail access for transloading and giving them additional transportation options. This project also redevelops a vacant industrial facility.” ORDC assists Ohio companies and communities in creating and retaining jobs by preserving rail service to existing shippers and providing rail service to new customers. In addition, the ORDC funds projects to improve railroad-highway grade crossings to increase safety to the traveling public. Please remember, when around railroad tracks always expect a train. Rail lines in Ohio are private property and trespassing is both strictly prohibited and extremely dangerous.

Thank you to each of you that donated,” said Williams.

Following a pretrial hearing on Tuesday, Oct. 1, Matthew Little waits while his attorneys consult with Chief Probation Officer Byron Fairclough.

LITTLE from PG. 1 in the amount of $100,000, as Littleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bond. During that afternoonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hearing, Repella outlined the terms of Littleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s release on bond, asking each time if Little understood the restrictions. First, Repella stated, there is to be â&#x20AC;&#x153;absolutely no substance abuse,â&#x20AC;? neither drugs nor alcohol, telling Little as he had at an earlier hearing, â&#x20AC;&#x153;we will be drug testing.â&#x20AC;? Second, Little was told he is to have â&#x20AC;&#x153;absolutely no association with known felons,â&#x20AC;? and furthermore was advised by Repella to avoid contact with anyone â&#x20AC;&#x153;who will get you in trouble.â&#x20AC;? Third, confirming that Little has been fitted with a GPS

COUNT from PG. 1 slow down and pay more attention. We have devoted so many hours to making ourselves visible and citing those who pushed the limits and were in danger either to themselves or others on the road,â&#x20AC;? said Williams. The best advice he can give is to just slow down. Buckle up. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t drink and drive. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t TEXT and drive. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whatever the message is about, it can wait for a couple of minutes until you find a safe place to pull over. Please do not use your cell phones when you are at the wheel. Think of the loss your family would suffer. Think of what they would do without you. Think about another family or driver that

you could kill or cause injury to while you are trying to push that button on that phone. Trust me. It can wait,â&#x20AC;? pleaded Williams. Williamsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; frustration is clear when he watches traffic and sees six or seven drivers out of ten using their cell phones. There is nothing that important that cannot wait for a couple of minutes. Williams asked that residents all do their best to keep the fatality total to only one this year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Boringâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death is still one too many. Think of the loss to his family. Please put down your cell phones when you drive. You will be saving lives,â&#x20AC;? stressed Williams.

Commissioner learn about county’s wellness program By NANCY SCHAAR FPS Correspondent Manager of Community Health Outreach and Promotion Susie Frew informed Carroll County commissioners about the 2019 CEBCO (County Employees Benefits Consortium) Wellness Program and the 2020 CEBCO Wellness Program. Frew said that 52 employees and spouses completed the health evaluation program and have earned over 600 points. 20 people completed a portion of the program and have earned tickets to be placed in a drawing for incentive prizes. Frew also suggested there be a $200 incentive provided to employees if they participate in the wellness program. Commissioner Bob Wirkner said that with the increase in CEBCO premiums and an increase in the dental coverage, there may not be funds available for the cash incentive program. Frew said the number of participants in the program is down from last year. 129 people participated in 2019 and only 74 were involved in 2020.

Frew also announced her retirement from the department effective November 12. Ohio Regional Development Corporation President Dale Hartle updated commissioners about the Community Housing Impact and Preservation Grant (CHIP) program. The county received $402,700 for the grant in the fall of 2018. Two housing rehabs have been completed with one more in the process of being done. One additional application is pending and will go out to bid soon, according to Hartle. “$212,700 is reserved for private owner rehabilitation. Of that, $120,000 is for home repair and $22,000 is set aside for rental assistance,” said Hartle. The goal of this portion of the program is to help five owners with housing rehabilitations. The state requires 50% of the program funds must be under contract by the end of November. Commissioners Wirkner and Jeff Ohler reported they had recently attended a meeting and learned about a safety improvement for the intersection of State Route 43 and State Route 171. Left turn lanes will be added to the intersection and the

work will begin in 2021. The $500,000 project will be funded from the gas tax increase. In other business commissioners: - HIRED as Social Services Workers II Tracy Maag and Jessica Ailing at $18.73 per hour and Tara Clapper at $17.64 per hour as a Social Services Worker I. They will begin duties October 15. - APPROVED modification agreements for several CHIP Mortgage agreements. - ACCEPTED the amounts and rates Resolution 2019-25 as determined by the Budget Commission and authorizing necessary tax levies and certifying them to the county auditor. - APPROVED a Memorandum of Agreement of Services with the Ohio Secretary of State and the Carroll County Board of Elections. This is for the Albert intrusion detection services. - RECEIVED the dog pound report with five impounded, three adopted out, one redeemed, one destroyed due to injuries from being hit by a car, zero citations for no license and zero citations for running at large.

Carroll County Board of DD is able to keep state-funded waiver A meeting of two Carroll County Developmental Disabilities (CCDD) officials with the state director resulted in Carroll County being able to keep a state funded Self Empowered Life Funding waiver. A Sept. 16 meeting of Supt. Matt Campbell and Business Manager Ray Heston, both of CCDD, with Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities Director Jeff Davis and his staff was explained by Supt. Campbell at the Sept. 26 meeting of the CCDD board. Campbell said the meeting was to request state funded waivers to address the new waiting list rule and three immediate need individuals. He said the Carroll County Board is currently above the ceiling for waivers of 82 individual option, 16 Level I and four Self-Empowered Life Funding (SELF) waivers. As a result of the state meeting, Campbell said it led to our county being able to keep a state funded Self Empowered Life Funding waiver for an individual on the waiver who needs an individual options waiver, which pays for more service. “The state normally takes the state funded waivers back when the person no longer needs them. However, in this case, they understood our need to keep the waiver for another person with emergency needs,” Campbell said. But, we were not given the three state funded individual options waivers we requested, he noted. Campbell said Carroll County has 34 people left to complete the waiting list assessment. The Board will address the three immediate need individuals with local levy match for waiver funding of services. In other business, Supt. Campbell presented the monthly Major Unusual Incident report for August as emailed from Mid-

East Ohio Regional Council. He said there were seven major unusual incidents and a total of 48 year to date. Campbell explained a major unusual incident is anything adversely affecting a person’s health and safety. Verbal abuse, physical abuse, social abuse, neglected and unplanned hospitalizations are examples. Campbell told the Board that he received an email Sept. 17 from the Ohio Department of Education noting Carroll County Board of DD’s 2019 Special Education rating met requirements. “This rating is based on the final special education program data that the district submitted through Education Management Information System for the 2017-18 school year. The Special Education rating is because our school provides services for people with disabilities,” he explained. Campbell also reported on a Superintendent Executive Committee meeting he attended Sept. 18 at Xeno’s Center in Columbus. He said Lisa Salyers of the Ohio Department of Education presented a lead exposure in young children. Ohio Department of Development Disabilities Deputy Director of Medicaid Debbie Hoffine also reported on the increase in waiver rates, waiting list hearings, private duty nursing and the Individual Service Plan. Bridget Gargan, Lori Stanfa and Eric Bittner from the Ohio Association of County Boards discussed the policy Symposium. PAC presentation, Disability Rights Ohio lawsuit and Service and Support Administration Director training.

Lest We Forget By CAPT. CHARLES PEARSON

U.S. Marine Corps, ret. World War II had been raging for two years and three months, or some 828 days, when the United States was thrown headlong into the conflict – forced to declare war against Japan on Dec. 8, 1941, and against Germany and Italy on Dec. 11, 1941, after valiant efforts to restore peace. When it came, it was like a bolt of lightning hitting every home in the United States. More than 12,000,000 from these homes were to leave in pursuit of peace and take up arms in protection of human freedom – to hold off the evil powers from making our own homeland a battleground. Fighting for freedom in all parts of the world, they were stamping out the flames before they could reach America – to save our 135,000,000 people from the terrors that were being inflicted on the women and children of nations invaded by the Axis powers of Japan, Germany and Italy. During the night of Dec. 8, 1941, something happened to the people of the United States. Every sign of division, every internal conflict had disappeared.

Instantly they stood fast together. The spirit of the American people asserted itself. The spirit of Democracy which Hitler had said was “incapable of working together” – too impotent to meet a crisis. He had sneered at the Americans as a nation of “cowards”. He jeered at human freedom as a fool’s dream in its last days. The strength and will of the American people became a decisive factor in crushing the powers of despotism. American manpower and American industry performed a modern miracle in organization and production. When the Twin Towers were hit on 9-11 our citizens had a small sample of what war on our own soil would be like. Today we are still facing an enemy who sneers at our way of life. We have sent our (volunteer) brave young men and women out to face this enemy in hopes of keeping our homeland from becoming a battleground. We must set aside our internal conflicts and unite behind them as they face the despotic enemy and defeat them. Please keep all of our military personnel and their families in your prayers. Charles Pearson is the chaplain for the Malvern Legion Post 375 and Carrollton VFW Post 3301.

FPS Correspondent At the September meeting of the Conotton Valley Board of Education, Supt. Todd Herman reported that he and Rocket Center Director Bill Love met recently with the Board of the Bowerston Public Library regarding the satellite branch of the library that will be installed at the Rocket Center. Herman said he had advised the library that CV is looking at the library’s intentions for staffing of and supplying materials to the library branch, and was advised that the library is looking at approximately $22,000 per year in resources. The intention is to have the library open to students during school hours and to the public 2 evenings a week and several hours on Saturdays. Herman said that the discussion included the possibility of the school giving the library money to purchase books for younger children, to be housed at the Rocket Center satellite, but remain property of the library. Herman advised that during the meeting, the Library Board had requested a liaison from the School Board be appointed to assist during the establishment of the new satellite to ensure that both parties were on the same page for the school’s expectations. Herman further advised that he had recently visited Kent State Tuscarawas to speak with representatives of the Cleveland Clinic, who agreed that there is a need in our area for healthcare services. Herman said the Business Director for the Clinic had reached out to him soon after the meeting and advised that the district should receive approximately $150,000 from the state of Ohio over the next 2 years for wellness. Herman said that if these funds do become available, he sees a possibility of hiring a team doctor, having quarterly community health screenings, and to begin laying the groundwork with the community for healthcare services at the Rocket Center.

Looking Back Compiled by Don Rutledge 60 YEARS AGO From 1959 FPS Files A special attraction at the 109th annual Carroll County fair was a team of four oxen drawing a Conestoga wagon built in 1837 and owned by Vance Swickward. Carrollton High School’s newspaper, The Black and White, was awarded the All American rating by the National Scholastic Press Assn. Ed H. Boyd of East Carrollton had 10 seven-year old Chinquapin Oak trees, unusual in this part of the country as they are a native of Alabama and the southern part of the United States, growing on his 160-acre farm in Lee Twp. The CHS gridders scored their fist touchdown of the 1959 season as they defeated the Sandy Valley High Cardinals 8-0 on the local field. 50 YEARS AGO From 1969 FPS Files Owners of Rhuark’s Pharmacy, which was established in 1937 at 120 Public Square, Carrollton, changed hands when Mrs. John (Sid) Stewart sold the business to William F. Jobes Jr. of Minerva. Paul M. Perkins, a Canton attorney, announced that he plans to be a candidate for judge of the Carroll County Common Pleas Court, a position held by Judge Frank F. Cope for the past 36 years who did not intend to be a candidate. Miss Penny Grezik, a senior, was selected as Conotton Valley High School’s homecoming queen. Members of her court were Candy Vought, Becky Booth, Kathy Chambers and Barbara Fell. The Carrollton Warriors evened their record 2-2 by overpowering the Cadiz Cardinals 20-6 40 YEARS AGO From 1979 FPS Files Richard Smeltz was elected president of the Carrollton Ruritan Club. Niuman’s Meats on SR 183, north of Minerva, owned by Edwin and Norma Niuman, was holding a 59th anniversary sale with free carnations for the ladies. Cindy Toth was crowned the 1979 homecoming queen at Springfield High School. Candidates for Carrollton High School’s 1979 homecoming queen were Rhonda Berard, Sharon Stavano, Barb Pozderac, Kim Seich, Julie Herron and Elaine Jones. 30 YEARS AGO From 1989 FPS Files Taking part in a brief ribbon cutting ceremony for the two new elementary classrooms constructed on the east side of the Carrollton High School addition were Carrollton Board of Education President Gordon Evans, Donald Glenn and Bob Thompson, architect and field representative; Carrollton Elementary School Principal Craig Winters and Carrollton School Supt. Lawrence Pontuti. Area high school bands participating in the Carrollton High School band’s 1989 Band Extravaganza were Malvern, Brush, Sebring, Jewett-Scio, Cuyahoga Falls and Carrollton, the host band. Carrollton Police Chief Ray McAfee received his Bronze Star Medal, which he earned while serving with the U. S. Army during World War II (1943-45). 20 YEARS AGO From 1999 FPS Files Courtney Reed was crowned Carrollton High School’s 1999 homecoming queen by the 1998 reigning royalty Jen Fletcher. Members of the 1999 queen’s court were Kristen Bausell, Ashleigh Brooks, Jess Hershey and Jennifer Hill. Members of the CHS speech team who advanced to the final round of the Wake Forest National Tournament were Tiffany Varner, John Franklin, Dawn Peterson, Mike Curry and Heather Bailey. Renovations totaling approximately $7.5 million were planned for Atwood Resort and Conference Center. Carrollton High School’s golf team won the Northeastern Buckeye Conference (NBC) championship. The players included Jon Suma, Dustin Findling, Scott Power, Kyle Roudebush and Tom James. 10 YEARS AGO From 2009 FPS Files The four Carrollton High School Alumni Foundation’s 2009 inductees included Robert E. Couch Jr., Mike Fawcett, Neva Duvall Locker and Dr. John Walters. The First Presbyterian Church in Carrollton became handicapped accessible with a vertical wheelchair lift and ramp installed in the dining hall. The Carrollton Music Study Club awarded two “Musician of the Year” awards at their September meeting. Recipients included Mrs. Helen Maffett, a long-time Carrollton resident and Music Study Club member, and Pastor Mike Doak and his wife, Roberta, for their support and help with club activities. Like two undefeated teams, the Carrollton Warriors and Marlington battled each other right down to the final click of the clock when Carrollton scored with 2:04 left on the clock on a two-yard run by junior quarterback Johnny Lowdermilk.

Pastor’s Pen Have you ever been lost or felt lost? Most of us have in some way. When I was a child, on Sunday afternoons we would pile in the car and go for a ride. I grew up when cars did not have a GPS unit to give you directions. We used paper maps. Mom was the map reader, but she had a difficult time communicating directions to my dad, because he wouldn’t listen. Dad was convinced that he could find his way to any location without help. He didn’t even like to stop at a gas station to ask for directions. And he seldom admitted he was lost. I still enjoyed those trips even if we spent most of our time on unknown back roads. It didn’t matter if we got lost because the goal was just to go for a family trip. Nevertheless, there are times we need to ask for directions. There are times when we need help. It may not be while driving a car, but there are times in life when we are lost and confused. In those moments we need to forget our pride and seek guidance. The best place to start is with God. We read in Proverbs 3: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.” There have been times in my life when I was lost and I found my way faster if I turned to a friend for help, or when I asked my pastor, or just prayed for God’s guidance. We all lose our way at times. It is nothing to be ashamed about. There is a roadmap that will help us find our way again. It is the Bible! In Matthew’s gospel we read in the seventh chapter, “Ask and it will be given you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened for you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.” No matter where you are in life, be assured, God loves you and is right by your side!

Sherry’s Book Corner Hello everyone! Have I found the project for you... for those who want one! And, just in time for the holidays. If you are interested in a new look in flooring for your home, check out this idea. Earthen floors. They are beautiful if you have the time to install them. The earthen floors in our world today are durable and easy to take care of. The basic ingredients in earthen floors are simple. Clay, sand and some sort of fiber. Most people use chopped straw. Earthen floors have a unique look and feel to them. Walking barefoot over an earthen floor feels warm to the touch. Also, an earthen floor is softer than a concrete floor. I like what Sukita Reay Crimmel, one of the authors said. “I feel a relationship with the prop-

erties of clay, sand, straw, oil and wax and find simple inner joy in blending these ingredients to create beauty. The shimmer of the clay, the strength of the sand, the color of the straw and the support of oil and wax delight me.” Now tell me, did I share a good idea with you or not? Until next time, get ready to be covered in clay, sand, and straw! Your friend, Sherry Sherry Kline Bolitho Adult Book Title: Earthen Floors A Modern Approach To An Ancient Practice By: Sukita Reay Crimmel and James Thompson Publisher: New Society Publishers Price: $29.95 Available at the Carroll County District Library This book is a fully illustrated guide to this natural building technique. Every part of the process is explained. A few examples are: Sourcing and harvesting materials; Preparing the subfloor and Living with and maintaining your earthen floor. Making the floor mix is very important. You need to find the right recipe and use the proper required tools.

Fire Safety Checklist for Caregivers of Older Adults

Free Press Standard |FIRE PREVENTION

Older adults are more likely to die in home fires because they may move slower or have trouble hearing the smoke alarm. Make sure the people you know are prepared and safe.

Put a check in front of each statement that is true for your home. Smoke Alarms

Escape Plan

{ Smoke alarms are on every level of the home.

{ There is a fire escape plan that shows two ways out of every room.

{ Smoke alarms are inside and outside sleeping areas. { Smoke alarms are tested each month. { Smoke alarm batteries are changed as needed. { Smoke alarms are less than 10 years old. { People can hear smoke alarms from any room. If not, consider one with a different sound or one that comes with a bed shaker or strobe light.

{ Exits are always clear and not blocked with furniture or other items. { Everyone knows where the safe meeting place is outside the home. { The escape plan works for everyone, including people who use a wheelchair, a hearing aid, or glasses. { There is a phone near the bed to call a local emergency number in case of a fire.

Find the Safety Words and Phrases

Carbon Monoxide Alarms { Carbon monoxide alarms are located on each level of the home. { Carbon monoxide alarms are less than 7 years old.

44-GAME LOSING STREAK IS OVER! Minerva beats West Branch 30-20 for first win since Oct. 31, 2014 By JORDAN MILLER

Sports Editor

BELOIT - It’s been five long years. Five long WINLESS years. Four complete seasons without a win. Four games this season without a win. The headlines, “The Minerva Lions lost to *insert team name here*,” became a normal thing to write; and an almost expected thing to read. A losing streak of 44 games loomed over the Minerva Lions since 2014, their last win coming against Carrollton on Oct. 31, 2014. That was until Friday, Sept. 27, 2019 against the West Branch Warriors. Minerva was able to ring the victory bell once again after defeating the West Branch Warriors 30-20. The Lions have come oh so close all season, holding late-game leads in three of their first four games over United, Sandy Valley and Canton South. They were able to piece it all together against West Branch. The game remained scoreless through one quarter of action before Minerva’s Steve Place scored on a four-yard touchdown run to put the Lions up 70 with 2:24 remaining in the first half. West Branch returned the ensuing kick return to Minerva’s 38, setting up a 35-yard score to tie the game 7-7. Nick Chaddock converted a 25-yard field goal for Minerva as the first half ended to extend the Lions lead to 10-7 heading into halftime. The Lions took advantage of a special team error by West Branch, recovering a muffed punt at the Warriors’ eightyard-line. Jimmy Common rushed it in for a four-yard touchdown run to add to Minerva’s lead, 16-7 following a missed PAT. West Branch cut Minerva’s lead to 1613 later in the the third, but it was Minerva the rest of the way as they cruised to a 30-20 victory. Now, 1-4 on the season, Minerva will be back in action at home against River View Oct. 4.

Carrollton comeback halted by Marlington, Warriors fall to 0-5

CARROLLTON - The Carrollton Warriors football team found themselves in a 14-0 hole in the first quarter against the Marlington Dukes Friday night. Marlington got on the board early in the first quarter, scoring on a two-yard Anthony Sabatino touchdown run with 9:36 remaining in the first quarter. The Dukes extended their lead to 140 following a 60-yard touchdown pass by CJ Greiner to Andrew Pucci. Carrollton sophomore quarterback Austin Colletti performed his best game of the season, completing on a pass to Brandon Brown that went 83 yards for the touchdown.

Carrollton missed the extra point and trailed 14-6 with 4:58 left in the first quarter. Colletti completed four passes for 136 yards, a season-best. He also threw for a total of two touchdowns. The second quarter went scoreless between both teams and Marlington led 14-6 at the half. Colletti completed his second touchdown pass of the game, this time to Jarod Becknell for 35 yards. The Warriors went for two and Colletti rushed the right side of the line into the endzone to tie the game at 1414 with 4:48 remaining in the third quarter.

As the third quarter came to an end, the Dukes refused to lay down. Sabatino rushed in another touchdown from four yards out with :12 remaining in the quarter to put Marlington ahead 21-14. The Dukes silenced the Carrollton student section with 1:34 left in regulation. Sabatino completed a hat-trick, scoring his third rushing touchdown of the game on a six-yard scamper, extending Marlington’s lead to 28-14. That was the final. Carrollton senior Ryan Walker led the Warriors defense, making his way into the Marlington backfield twice, recording a

pair of sacks including 4.5 tackles. Colby Moore recorded a team-high 10.5 tackles against the Dukes, including six solo. Brown led the Warriors with two catches for 87 yards, including his 83yard catch and run touchdown. Hunter Henry was Carrollton’s top rusher, racking up 56 yards on 16 carries. With the loss, Carrollton falls to 0-5

on the season and 0-2 in conference action. Marlington improves to 3-2 on the year. The Carrollton Warriors are slated to continue Eastern Buckeye Conference action on the road at West Branch to take on the winless Green Warriors. West Branch most recently lost to the Minerva Lions; allowing Minerva to snap their 44-game losing streak.

Sports Writer

Malvern outshines Tusky Valley on the gridiron by a final score of 34-24 to give the Hornets a homecoming victory to remember and improve their overall record to 3-2 on the season. The Conotton Valley Rockets hang tough as they defeat the Bridgeport Bulldogs 43-28. Malvern - The Hornets put together 400 yards of total

offense of which 191 of those yards came through the air. Malvern quarterback Derk Hutchinson connected with Kenneth Martin for a 70 yard scoring pass reception in the second quarter. Hutchinson then connected with Noah Ball for a 10 yard touchdown pass in the second quarter and then again in the third frame for a 23 yard scoring pass-play. Hutchinson went 9 for 18 through the air with three

touchdowns and two interceptions. Malvern ran the ball 28 times collecting 209 yards adding two more touchdowns to the score. Hutchinson was the ball carrier on the two scoring plays, one for 82 yards and the other from 29 yards out. Tusky Valleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Noah Love ran the ball 31 times for 268 yards and three touchdowns. Malvernâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bryson White led the defense with 10 tackles. Xavier Watson contributed with

eight more tackles, including one TFL and one sack. Sam Foster and Jacob Cox each added seven tackles. Martin had three tackles, an interception and fumble recovery while playing on the defensive side of the ball. Malvern will travel to East Canton for Friday nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s contest for a 7 oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;clock start. Conotton Valley - The Rockets downed the Bridgeport Bulldogs on the road by a final

score of 43-28. The Rockets put together a massive run-bycommittee rushing game with 43 attempts collecting 413 yards from the line of scrimmage and six touchdowns. Conotton Valleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rushing committee included David Broderickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 12 attempts for 131 yards and one score, Braden Caldwellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 15 rushes for 118 yards and a touchdown, Ethan Maugeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s four attempts and 59 yards with two scores, Evan Riceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 59 yards

Conotton Valley improves to 2-3 on the season and will travel to Caldwell Friday evening to take on the Redskins. Kickoff is set for 7 oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;clock.

(IC) 1. Edison: Carrollton was finally able to resume their postponed game with Edison after a threatening storm forced a halt in play during their original matchup on Aug. 20th. The contest resumed play last Thursday night with a 1-0 lead with 25:01 left in the first half. The goal was scored by Lawson Irwin, which was his first career high school goal. Carrollton made a few mental mistakes and did not attack the ball at times as well as they are capable of, but they still played a good game. Neo Ruiz made his first appearance in this game after being out with a concussion since Sept. 7th's game against East Liverpool. Shots on Goal: 11-6 C Keeper Saves: Evan Meek (C) 4, Kyle Griffith (E) 4 and Dylan Schaar (C) 3. Goals: Lawson Irwin 2 (6th goal of the season), Denis Linhart 2 (3rd goals of the season), Till Rudiger 1 (1st goal of the season) and Ronal Chavarria 1 (6th goal of the season). Assists: Jacob Ford assisted on Lawson's goal from the 20th. Asier Barreteaga assisted Denis' goal. Salem: Carrollton allowed Salem to score the first goal of the game when they allowed Miguel Lorenzo to get too deep in the box. The defenders were too slow crashing down on him and he was able to flip a goal over Carrollton keeper Evan Meek's head. The Warriors were able to recover with two quick goals by

Ronal Chavarria and Maikyn Navarro. Ronal ran down a long ball and was able to slip one past the goalkeeper as he raced out of the box. Maikyn's goal came on a shot he took a few feet out of the 18' box to give Carrollton a 2-1 lead. With just under 45 seconds left in the first half, Gus Pesta sent a corner kick into the box. Chavarria battled with his defender until he placed a centering pass to Pesta who had curled around from the corner to the top of the 18. Pesta took the shot and squibbed the ball past the goalkeeper increasing the lead to 3-1 at halftime. Chavarria added his second goal of the night by capitalizing on a mishandled ball in Salem's zone. Chavarria trapped the ball on the goalpost before dribbling around a defender and goalkeeper and into the net for the 4-1 score. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our defense and goalkeeping by Meek really held us in the second half. I think we grew a little too content with the score. Thankfully the defense and Meek battled to hold us in it,â&#x20AC;? said Atkinson. Keeper Saves: 8-4 Evan Meek Goals: Ronal Chavarria 2 (5 goals total), Maikyn Navarro 1 (1st goal), Gus Pesta 1 (1st goal of the season). Assists: Chavarria After last week, Carrollton improves their overall record to 5-5-2 and 1-3 in the Eastern Buckeye Conference (EBC). The Warriors travel to Tusky Valley Thursday for a 5 oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;clock kickoff.

Warriors soccer team extends winning streak to four games By CHRIS MODRANSKI

Sports Writer

The Carrollton Warriors boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; soccer team dominated the pitch last week and is now sporting a four-game winning streak. The Warriors downed Indian Creek 2-1, Edison 6-1 and Salem 4-1 for the week. Indian Creek: Carrollton had the lead around the 10-minute mark for time left in the game and an Indian Creek attacker was about to take a shot from 40-yards out from the goal. Carrollton defender Kyler James recognized the threat and charged out in front of his shot. From about 10 yards away from the kick, James took the shot to the face blocking the attempt and very likely game tying goal. James left with a bloody nose but returned to the match a couple minutes later. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Indian Creek was a very hard fought game. I was very impressed with how hard we battled. We knew this was going to be a tough game and we came ready for it. I am so proud of how my guys played today. This truly was a team effort. We are in stride and playing confidently,â&#x20AC;? said Carrollton head coach AJ Atkinson. Shots on Goal: 5-4 Carrollton Keeper Saves: Evan Meek (C) 6, Coy Amis (IC) 5, Mason Miller (C) 2 Goals: Ronal Chavarria (C) 1 (7th goal of the season), Maikyn Navarro (C) 1 (2nd goal of the season) and Elijah Liewellyn

Sisters of Charity signs letter of intent for Mercy Medical Center to join Cleveland Clinic Cleveland Clinic and the Sisters of Charity Health System signed a non-binding letter of intent on Sept. 27 to explore Mercy Medical Center becoming a full member of the Cleveland Clinic health system while maintaining its Catholic identity through sponsorship by the Sisters of Charity of St. Augustine. The Sisters of Charity Health System, which is the sole member of Mercy Medical Center, and Cleveland Clinic will begin a careful and thorough review to complete the due diligence process that will outline how they will move forward to best meet the health care needs of residents in Stark County and surrounding communities. “Since its founding in 1908, Mercy Medical Center has been a treasured ministry of the

Sisters of Charity,” said Sister Judith Ann Karam, CSA, congregational leader of the Sisters of Charity of St. Augustine. “Our goal is to position Mercy so its caregivers, physicians and volunteers can continue to provide safe, high-quality Catholic health care to Stark County and beyond for generations to come. In our rapidly evolving health care environment, hospitals have a greater opportunity to successfully serve individuals, families and communities by working in clinically integrated systems of care. And, Cleveland Clinic is Ohio’s most comprehensive health care network.” Benefits of the potential partnership include expanding high-quality services; expanding and improving technology at Mercy Medical Center; providing additional support and

investment in addressing the unmet needs in the community; building physician synergies; and increasing the ease of access to the most highly specialized services for patients in Stark County if and when needed. “We are excited for this potential partnership of Mercy with a world-class health system that will maintain its roots in Northeast Ohio,” said Thomas J. Strauss, president & CEO of the Sisters of Charity Health System and interim CEO of Mercy. “Joining with Cleveland Clinic, which has strong local presence, will help Mercy Medical Center strengthen its services to the community; provide expanded options for clinical services and support important growth initiatives that will provide for the long-term sustainability of Catholic health care in Canton.”

The Sisters of Charity Health System and Cleveland Clinic will work toward finalizing a definitive agreement. The due diligence, regulatory and Church requirements will all inform the timeline and further details of this transaction. “Cleveland Clinic is committed to keeping Mercy Medical Center strong and ensuring that Catholic health care continues to be delivered in Stark County,” said Tom Mihaljevic, M.D., CEO and President of Cleveland Clinic. “Our mission is to do what is best for our patients, and to maintain a commitment to safety, quality and exceptional outcomes at every one of our hospitals. We know how important Mercy is to the people of Stark County and we look forward to continue providing opportunities for growth.”

The Canton Garden Center awarded “Awards of Merit” to the Carroll County Park District and to Barb Burns-Hopper and Shirley Jones, both from Carroll County. Nominations were made by Becky Day.

They use specific standards as set forth by the National Council of State Garden Clubs. “The Bluebird Farm Park now has award winning gardens. No

other business/government garden won an award,” said Dale Alexander, director, Carroll County Park District. “Hopefully, more visitors will come to Carroll County to come to the Bluebird Farm Park and enjoy our gardens and other amenities.” The home gardens of Barb Burns-Hopper and Shirley Jones were awarded the “Beauty Spot” Award of Merit. Burns-Hopper recently became a Master Gardener through The Ohio State University.

Local supporters for Dysautonomia Awareness receive proclamation By NANCY SCHAAR FPS Correspondent Darcy Bolanz of Carrollton received a proclamation from county commissioners to help bring awareness to Dysautonomia in support of her daughter, Eliza. Eliza would be a junior in high school if she were permitted or able to attend school. Eliza first became ill when she was nine years old and diagnosed with POTS, Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome. This disease is connected to Dysautonomia. They have sought treatment at Akron Children’s Hospital, Cleveland Clinic, Nationwide

Children’s in Columbus, Sall POTS Treatment Center, Texas and the University of Toledo Medical Center. She has also received care at Pittsburgh Children’s Hospital. Eliza will be traveling to the Mayo Clinic in the near future for further treatment. One to three million people are affected by POTS in America and is more common than Multiple Sclerosis.
