Wells noted the damage to the old tree was more noticable once it was down.

“Mayor Bill Stoneman and I thank Rick and Bruce Carlton for donating the tree and the Carrollton Civic Club for getting the project done,” said Wells. “The street department employees removed the old tree and planted the new one. The Civic Club members put stakes in to make sure it grows straight and shored it up. We are very appreciative of everyone working on this project.”

Victim’s Assistance applies for grant

By NANCY SCHAAR FPS Correspondent Karin Taff, Victim’s Assistance director, received signatures from county commissioners to apply for the 2019-2020 grant that funds her department.

Taff said that the funding for her office was cut by 7% but she can still work with that number as long as they don’t need to hire additional personnel.

“Many counties were cut a lot more than that because they didn’t comply with what was needed,” said Taff.

The Victims of Crime grant does require a 20% match from the county but that is paid from the court costs received from those found guilty.

Taff explained that the money collected as fines and court costs are used to assist victims.

25% of the funding goes to the Alliance Area Domestic Violence Shelter and 75% goes to Harbor Point. Taff said the money is distributed according to how much we use each shelter. “Alliance has never rejected us,” continued Taff.

Commissioners agreed to increase the grant given to local veterans organizations by $300 to cover the increase in the cost to purchase flags to honor the graves of veterans that have died.

In other business commissioners: - ANNOUNCED the courthouse will be closed Tuesday, November 5 at noon due to elections being held that day.

an’s Day. - APPROVED the Annual Meeting of Township Trustees and Engineers on December 5 at 6:30 p.m. at the Friendship Center at a cost of $1,500.

Moving on to the next subject on Speedy’s list, he said that over the last year there have been two wells that came back positive for e-coli. Those two wells were chlorinated, according to Speedy.

“If you chlorinate and chlorinate and chlorinate, and you still get e-coli, then it is in the aquifer. This will eventually get down to nearby wells. Other wells may be contaminated,” said Speedy.

Speedy said that some people will be told to put ultraviolet light on the wells to get rid of the e-coli. But that does not fix the problem, according to Speedy.

For one of the wells that Speedy had drilled and tested, he discovered that the whole thing had been reconfigured and was not to code, it was not acceptable.

“I don’t know how something I put together got changed without my knowledge or approval,” said Speedy.

Gotschall told Speedy she would provide him with the photocopies from the files that he is requesting.

The last resolution presented to board members for approval consisted of raises for 10 staff members. Increases ranged from 50 cents per hour up to $3 per hour.

The board learned that a wage analysis had been done compared through the Association of Ohio Health Commissioners. The increases were proposed in order to be more competitive and help with retaining employees.

Recently the department has suffered the loss of several skilled employees due to the of-

fer of much higher wages nearby, according to Gotschall.

Speedy objected to the raises presented and questioned why the matter had not been brought before the finance committee. After further discussion, board members agreed to refer the matter to the finance committee. Speedy also recommended that it be passed to the personnel committee before coming back to the full board for a vote.

“These rates still don’t touch the range. It’s still below average,” said Gotschall.

“In March of last year we were questioning if we were even going to have a department or if we were going to have to go in with another county,” said Speedy.

“Can we afford this?” questioned board member Tom White.

“This leadership is looking at how to fund this department differently. We are not coming back to trustees for more funds.

We had to pay the $20,000

for the required Community Health Assessment. But we didn’t ask for more funds. We were able to get donations from businesses and other health leaders to pay for this,” said Kelly Engelhart.

Gotschall agreed to present the issue to the finance committee and then the personnel committee before bringing it before the board for a vote.

In other business the Board: - LEARNED Gotschall is working on the budget forecast for the year end of 2019 and has a budget draft for the year 2020. Gotschall praised workers in the department for stepping up and filling in the gaps after several people left or retired from the department.

- DISCUSSED a contract issue with ServerSim. Options were discussed. The contract as it is now did not receive approval from the county prosecutor.

Resident’s water woes not resolved

By NANCY SCHAAR FPS Correspondent Carroll County Health Board Member Sean Speedy introduced Mary Passwaters at the recent meeting of the board.

Over a year ago, Passwaters had applied for and received a grant through Community Development Block Grant funds from county commissioners to install a new well at her home.

Commissioners signed a contract with Bill Burgan of American Drilling and plumbing from Stone Creek. American Drilling did drill a well for Passwaters that later failed. American Drilling had not followed

proper procedures and did not report anything to the health department as required by law.

Burgan did attempt to dig a second well, but that collapsed when the pump fell into the hole and it was left that way.

Neither well was properly closed, sealed or reported. Legal requirements dictate that the first and second well must be at least 10 feet apart. Upon investigation, it was determined that the second well was only 29 ½ inches from the first well.

The driller went home and didn’t come back. Passwaters was left with no water to her home. Water tanks were later provided but when that continued for months, it became very difficult for Passwaters.

Where to vote on Election Day Following is a list of the 16 voting locations (polling places) for the 23 Carroll County precincts at the Nov. 5 general election.

Polls will be open from 6:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. Anyone having questions as to where they vote should call the Carroll County Board of Elections at 330-627-2610 or visit its website at www. carrollcountyboe.com.

Washington Twp.: Washington Twp. building, 3097 Cobbler Rd. NE, Carrollton.

Last fall, the county health department filed paperwork with the State Department of Health to place a hold on the $10,000 bond paid by American Drilling. The company would forfeit the $10,000 and it would be used to pay for a new well for Passwaters. In addition, American Drilling was not permitted to drill another well anywhere until he had repaid the $10,000 bond.

The Ohio Department of Health ordered American Drilling to provide another well, one that met with legal requirements. But when Burgan finally drilled the third well, it was only 120 feet deep instead of 300 feet and he provided no lining. So although he was paid

through a grant program from county commissioners for a 300 foot well with a liner, the county did not get what they paid for.

“I do not trust this well. I can’t do laundry; I have to go to the laundromat for that. I have to go to the basement every morning to see how much water is in the tank so I know what I can do that day,” said Passwaters.

Passwaters continued to say that this has been a disaster for her all these months and that at one point, Burgan tried to sue her for $5,000 he said was owed to him.

The matter will be considered by the Board of Health and discussed with the county prosecutor.

Warrior Beat

By DR. DAVID QUATTROCHI

Carrollton Schools Superintendent We are fortunate in the Carrollton Exempted Village School District to have the resources necessary to construct a state of the art facility without going to the voters. Our opening ceremony in August was a wonderful tribute to the many individuals and groups that made the new Carrollton High School - Carrollton Middle School building a possibility. It was exciting to see the community, students, and staff tour the facility, feeling the magnitude of the project and the sense of pride that comes with a new building and expanded opportunities.

We are also fortunate to be able to bring all of our elementary students and staff together in a more collaborative environment as a unified elementary school at the former high school building. Our wish for them is to become part of the new campus. Our primary students and staff deserve to experience that same sense of pride that comes when you teach and learn in a new building that supports a 21st-century education.

A growing body of research has found that school facilities can have a profound impact on both teacher and student outcomes. For teachers, school facilities affect teacher recruitment, retention, commitment, and effort. For students, school facilities affect health, behavior, engagement, learning, and growth in achievement. Researchers generally conclude that without adequate facilities and resources, it is challenging to serve large numbers of children with complex needs.

The new high-middle school provides us with the flexibility for reconfiguring seating arrangements. As a result, students have the opportunity to be educated in a more collaborative learning environment. Teachers are already using the updated technology in the classrooms to reach the ever-growing diverse learning populations. Our students have a renewed sense of pride and ownership for their school and community.

Thank you to everyone who made this dream a reality! We encourage community members to be part of our district.

We invite you to watch a game, play, musical event, or lend your time or talents to coach or mentor a young person. This is your school district, and we welcome your involvement! Go Warriors!

Lest We Forget

By CAPT. CHARLES PEARSON

U.S. Marine Corps, ret.

During World War II, the mightiest struggle the world has ever known, we came to know many nations as true friends. A true friend is one who is more prompt to come to you in adversity than prosperity. Australia and her gallant neighbor New Zealand proved to be true friends.

The island continent “down under” the Equator, with its 7,300,000 stalwart people, was the bulwark against which the Japanese tidal wave of aggression beat in vain. Australia, with the Pacific Ocean on the north and the Indian Ocean on the west, was to stand as an impregnable fortress against invaders.

With an area nearly as large as the continental United States, but with a population only one-seventeenth that of its American ally, it marshaled nearly 1,000,000 men and 50,000 women in defense of its freedom.

Out of its manhood, seven of every ten men between the ages

of 18 and 35 years served in the armed forces. Some 500,000 of these volunteered to serve in any war theater. Australians fought gallantly on every battlefront in the world.

With 40 percent of all men and women of working age in armed services or war production, the remaining 60 percent provided food and necessities for the Allied forces tanks, field guns, aircraft and ammunition.

With the aid of Lend-Lease it provided 90 percent of the food for American forces in the South Pacific fighting zones.

New Zealand, with a population of less than 1,700,000, sent more than 55,000 of her sons to battlefronts overseas, about 45,000 to aid in the pending liberation of Europe, while some 60,000 more defended the homeland.

We should continually thank God for them and for our own men and women who not only defended our freedom then, but are still today on the battlefield fighting to keep our country free. Pleas keep them in your prayers.

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

Two thumbs up and more to the group big and small who do the Haunted Schoolhouse in Sherrodsville! They do a Class A job of scaring you from start to finish! The monsters didn’t take long to see that I was an easy target and they passed the word along to their pals. I screamed from the time went in ‘til the time I came out. Two monsters even followed me outside and thanked me for making their job more fun. So, if you are looking for some Halloween fun – Go back to school! My group had a grand time. Once again, A+ to all that pulled the Big Fright together.

As I grew up it was expected that I would say thank you when someone was kind to me. If my parents noticed I had failed to act in such a way, they told me about my poor behavior. To this day I try to say thank you when people are kind. The apostle Paul wrote, “Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” However, it is one thing to be kind to a stranger or neighbor, but do we try hard to say thanks to those who are closest to us? Do we regularly tell our spouse, our parents, our best friends and those people who have helped us, how much we appreciate them?

Jesus tells a story about seeing 10 men who had leprosy. Such people were usually ignored, but not by Jesus. When they called out to Jesus he spoke with them and told them to show themselves to the priests. As they walked away they were healed. One of the 10, when he saw he had been healed, ran back to Jesus and praised him. But the other nine never bothered to say thanks. Would you have been the one who returned or one of the nine who didn’t?

How many special people in your life, who have gone the extra mile for you, never received the proper thanks. I have no doubt that I did not tell my dad how much he meant to me. I didn’t say thank you enough. I am ashamed of that behavior. When mom and dad would visit me at the church I served in Indiana, dad would always shake my hand when it was time to leave. In his hand was a $10 or $20 bill. I knew how hard it was for him to come up with even such a small sum, sadly, I didn’t let him know how much it really meant.

I was only 29 when my father died. I will forever regret that I didn’t go the extra mile to show the depth of my gratitude for what he did for me. Don’t wait to show your thanks. I think my dad knew my feelings, but it would have meant even more if I had just told him how special he was. This holiday season, take some time to write a letter, send an email, or personally speak to those people who have made a difference in your life. Tell them thanks!

Carroll County Park District wants to grow its outreach The Carroll County Park District has placed a 0.25-mill, 10year additional tax levy on the Nov. 5 ballot to improve, maintain and preserve its programs and facilities.

The levy would cost a homeowner with a $100,000 valuation $9 per year.

The Friends of Carroll County Parks is inviting the public to a meeting and social this Wednesday, Oct. 30, at 6 p.m., at the park to discuss the district’s plans for the parks.

“The park district’s primary source of revenue is from the oil and gas leases that were signed some time ago. These funds are running low and will be exhausted as early as 2020,” explained Executive Director Dale Alexander. He noted the district does not receive any royalties from any wells.

The Carroll Count Park District does not receive any operating funds from the county and has relied on donations, grants and the lease money to maintain and improve the parks. It does receive an $80,000 endowment from Joyce Hannon’s Estate for the operation and maintenance of Bluebird Farm Park.

“Our mission is to preserve and conserve parks, develop programs and spaces to enhance the public’s use and enjoyment for those who live, work and play in Carroll County. Carroll County Parks are safe places to gather with friends and family, participate in sports, take a hike or just relax,” Alexander said.

He noted the district’s priority is to maintain and improve existing parks, while providing new spaces for passive and active recreation countywide.

The district has two parks: Bluebird Farm Park and the Carroll Community Park.

Bluebird Farm Park is a historical significant landmark for Carroll County with buildings dating back to the early 1800’s. The district’s plan is to maintain these buildings and landmarks ensuring they will remain in good shape for residents and visitors to enjoy. It also would like to increase trails within existing parks and improve the gardens at Bluebird Farm Park.

Carroll Community Park is home for the Carroll Soccer Club. The district’s plan is to improve the fields, as well as increase the available fields for the soccer club, football, baseball and softball. It would also like to improve existing trails and develop accessible trails as well.

Alexander notes the district also wants to work more with the individual communities and Stark Parks to better residents’ access to more parks.

One such plan is for Partners for Play, which is a comprehensive countywide initiative that sets aside funds for the improvement of parks in villages and townships. Playgrounds and fields will be fixed and improved.

“After we have everything fixed, the plan will be to create new amenities,” Alexander said.

The initiative also creates opportunities for the park district to work with Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District and the Stark Parks. A great example is how the park district assisted Malvern Park with its Frisbee golf course. Another example is building a multipur-

pose trail from Waynesburg to Minerva, a real project that can be accomplished with the assistance of Stark Parks.

Alexander notes the district can receive funding for extending the trails through grants, but it will still need to rely on local funds for the maintenance of the existing and additional trails.

The district other goal is to increase health and wellness programming opportunitie,s as well as increase special events to promote Carroll County as a great place to live and visit.

This could be accomplished by creatinge teen programs and activities and offering a special senior program to keep the mind and body energized.

“Parks bring family and friends together. County residents will enjoy discounts at concerts, events and rentals,” Alexander noted.

Alexander is the district’s only full-time employee. It has a part-time administraive assistant, a part-time maintenance employee and a seasonal employee. Alexander notes the district relies on the probate court and family services for additional volunteers when they are available.

Alexander encourages residents to attend Wednesday’s information meeting to learn more about the park’s existing programs and what it hopes to offer through collaboration and funding from this levy.

has given me valuable leadership skills.

Great Trail Fire District puts levy on ballot for EMS The Great Trail Fire District has placed an additional 3.5-mill, five-year levy on the Nov. 5 ballot in an effort to add ambulance service.

The Brown Township and Malvern area have an existing ambulance board, the B&M Ambulance District, which also has a levy to provide ambulance service to the area. It does not have its own ambulance service, but contracts with EMT Ambulance.

Should Great Trail’s levy pass, the Brown Township Board of Trustees and Malvern Village Council has stated they would disband the ambulance district and that 0.8mill levy would be removed.

The building and its contents, which does not include any ambulances or medical equipment, would be returned to the township and village.

The Great Trail Fire District is hosting an open house Saturday, Nov. 2, 10 a.m.-1 p.m., at its South station, 235 S. Bridge St., Malvern.

ELECT

Residents will have a chance to look at an ambulance, see fire equipment on display and enjoy food, while children may participate in an kids obstacle course and hands-on demonstrations.

According to Fire Chief Ralph Castellucci, the levy could cost a difference of $97 per year for a home with a valuation of $100,000 above what property owners are already paying to the existing ambulance district.

Castellucci notes the levy would provide emergency medical services to the township and village by providing an ambulance 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

The goal is to purchase two ambulances, with the first staffed by 24 hours a day by trained EMTs and paramedics. Should

the first ambulance be out on a call, the second ambulance would be staffed by on-call medically-trained personnel, similar to paging volunteer firefighters.

Castellucci explained that soft billing will be used for Malvern and Brown Township residents, which means the district will accept a person’s insurance and there would be no cost to the resident.

He encourages residents to attend the open house to learn more about the proposed ambulance service.

“Response time is the absolute priority for medical emergencies,” he noted. “Firefighters are in the best position to respond quickly with large numbers and provide vital services.”

What improvements would you like to see and how do you propose implementing them? *With the approval of the township trustees, I would like to place the township’s financial information on the online, “Ohio Financial Checkbook,” thereby making the township more transparent for its residents. * The cemetery records of lots and burials need to be more assessible. I am in the process of entering all previously purchased deeds into a computer program, which will make the records available to all. * I would like to see Center Township host its own website, having a place to post “Minutes of the Meetings,” announce special meetings and other township news. I could get this site up and running. * I would like to continue to work on grants and other assistance programs with the trustees. * I would like to have available a township business card showing the names and telephone numbers of the trustees.

I hope we are awarded the grant from ODOT for Wood Road to resurface it. If so, we need to take some time to carefully plan it out and take care of any water problems we may have and some berming issues. We need to continue to look into our chip and seal process and adjust it as needed. I hope we all remember that I am one voice on a board and it takes two more for a team.

On a few occasions, taking all night. I feel when we take care of the roads we are taking care of the people.

For the last four years, we have been working diligently in Monroe Township. We have replaced several culverts and chipped and sealed more roads than the year before, as well as trying to keep gravel in washed out areas. We purchased a newer dump truck which will allow us to haul larger loads of ash and stone this winter.

I feel we had made great progress in the roads and safety conditions and there is a lot more we have planned for the coming eyar. I am proud of the work we are doing and proud to be a part of the Monroe Township team.

To continue to represent our township in a positive manner within our township, our county and our state.

To represent all of our township residents when it comes to spending and implementing projects.

This includes not only township road residents, but also county road and state route residents, who all pay tax revenue toward our township road expenditures.

I represent all of our residents, no matter what type of road you reside on.

I am also running one more term to pay it forward for the good life I have been provided as a resident of Rose Township for close to 60 years. I have been blessed to have the opportunity to serve Rose Township. I have met with many of the residents over the past eight years concerning many different

issues. I have learned many lessons. I have learned you will have good days, and you will have bad days. I have learned it is all part of a trustee’s job.

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

I presently believe wise spending involves addressing road drainage issues. That is the number one culprit when dealing with road deteriation. This involves grinding many years of old material up and grading and stoning to get a good base and proper crowning on our roads. It also involves replacing old rusted out culverts and ditch work. We just completed Heritage Road, for example.

We have other roads on our list presently. We will move forward when the board feels our finances allows for this major expenditure.

Of course, we must still maintain our other roads not on the list at the present time by using spot emulsion and patching material and dust control and also continue culvert replacement and proper ditching as needed.

I am also very interested in working with Ohio Mid-Eastern Governments Association. OMEGA is a publicly funded grant writing service that assists government entities in applying for grants. This service is provided free and serves a 10-county area in our region.

We have a meeting scheduled in December with an OMEGA representative to explain how they can assist Rose Township in obtaining grants for our roads and possibly equipment.

I want to continue to work with the other trustees in finding solutions for dust control issues. This has been a work in progress, especially when coupled with the major road reconstruction projects.

We will continue to try different methods and solutions until this issue is conquered in a cost-effective manner.

If after a road is property graded, crowned and ditched, it is determined to be a road for emulsion application, and we can expect to get more than a year or two years out of that investment, I will certainly support that route. I do not support throwing $80,000 to $120,000 away yearly to keep doing it the way it was always done.

The road must be prepared properly; otherwise, you are throwing money away year after year with the same result.

I want to continue the great relationship we have with our present employees. I assure you they continue to do the best job possible for our township. They are continually learning the right way of doing their jobs. I support sending them for additional training where applicable to learn better ways and safer ways of performing road work and any other work pertaining to their jobs. This past spring and summer created

many challenges for our township employees and trustees. We had massive amounts of rain that we have not experienced for a very long time. This created issues, and unforeseen expenditures, for not only our township, but also for our county and state. Many ditches and culverts could not handle the amount of water that was flowing through them. Tree removal was a major issue that required some contracted emergency response to open up roads.

I support shared services with other townships. I will continue to support utilizing this very valuable tool as needed. We have a great working relationship with many of our surrounding townships and villages and I will continue to build on those relationships in my next four-year term.

Michael T. Reed, 51, of Dellroy, is a high-school graduate.

Why are you running for office?

My hope is to bring new or different viewpoints for the betterment of the township.

What are your qualifications for this office?

I have lived in the township on a dirt road for the majority of my life. My background includes farming and working heavy construction, which included building roads.

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

I would like to see better township roads for Rose Township residents. I would propose that our trustees research how other townships are able to have better roads built and maintain roads and are oiled in a timely manner.

WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP Kyle Davis and Darrell L. Shafer are seeking the Washington Township trustee position. Davis did not return a candidate questionnaire.

Darrell Shafer, 41, of Carrollton, graduated from Carrollton High School in 1997 and served as township trustee for 12 years from 2004 to 2015.

Why are you running for office?

I am running for trustee because I enjoy the responsibility of working with the other trustees in leading our township. Whether it is working on the roads, getting my hands dirty or being in the office seeing to find ways to promote, improve and advance our community, such challenges are rewarding.

What are your qualifications for this office?

My previous 12 years serving as Washington Township trustee, six years of serving on the State Board of Directors of the Ohio Township Association and eight years serving as an officer of the Carroll County Township Association are a few of my qualifications for the trustee position. I am a 2008 graduate of the Ohio Township Leadership Academy. Most importantly, my willingness to continue to educate myself on the workings of township government, whether it be through workshops and networking opportunities provided annually by the Ohio Township Association or educational opportunities through the Auditor of State’s office.

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

In Washington Township, as in other townships, there are always projects that will need serious attention. But the number one concern is road improvements.

In small rural areas such as ours, I firmly believe trustees must be hands on. Having a commercial driver’s license allows me the ability to operate all equipment owned by the township, ensuring the most effective delivery of services at the lowest cost.

A week ago Randy and I were sitting in our backyard.

The day was drawing to a close and we were enjoying the nice weather. All of a sudden we noticed activity in our birdbath.

A blue bird couple was taking turns taking a bath! They were having so much fun! The water was splashing everywhere. After they dried off on one of my shepherd hooks they flew off in the distance. Like I told Randy, it was Friday night date night!

Benefit set Nov. 10 for Conotton Valley grad in need of kidney

By NANCY SCHAAR FPS Correspondent Vic Anderson is a 1972 graduate of Conotton Valley High School. He grew up in Sherrodsville and Carroll County, was honorably discharged from the U. S. Army in 1975 and has worked on drilling rigs in the oil field for almost 40 years.

But for the 65 year old, life changed quickly a few years ago. Following a simple routine blood test, Vic was sent to a nephrologist where he learned on the first visit there was only one course of treatment for his recent diagnosis of IgA Nephropathy or Berger’s Disease.

This is a chronic kidney disease and he was at first placed at stage 4. His kidneys have continued to fail and he is now at stage 5 or End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD).

Vic has since spent many days, weeks and months at The Ohio State University Comprehensive Transplant Center for evaluation and treatment.

Since his diagnosis, he was instantly immersed in educating himself about his disease and his treatment options. He has been on a restricted diet, restrictions for travel, and just about every aspect of his life.

In addition, last year Vic had to have open heart surgery as a result of damage to his heart from his failing kidneys. And there have been complications with his heart since the surgery.

The disease, diagnosis, testing and treatments have taken their toll on the family’s finances as well.

On Sept. 12, Vic was notified that he was finally accepted into the transplant program. The heartbreak that came with that news is that his type O kidney has a waiting list that is many

Vic Anderson, a Conotton Valley graduate, is in need of a kidney transplant after being a diagnosed with IgA Nephropathy or Berger’s Disease. A lunch benefit will be held Sunday, Nov. 10, at the Lions Club in Sherrodsville.

years long.

As a type O, he can donate to anyone that includes type A, type B, type AB or type O. But he can only accept a type O for his transplant. The waiting list is expected to be at least five years or more. But Vic doesn’t have that kind of time. He needs help now.

Vic and his wife, Conotton graduate Robin Lester McClelland, were excited last week to be notified there was a kidney for him at OSU. They were there very early the next morning and learned he would be the recipient of the second kidney.

If one was not viable, he would return home without a transplant.

It wasn’t a perfect kidney and Vic had a critical level of potassium, but he was willing to take the risk because he knew he didn’t have much time left on his own kidneys. He was only

3/10 of a point away from sudden death.

Sadly, it was determined the kidney was not fit to be used for a transplant and Vic and Robin came back home.

Vic needs the support of his classmates, family, friends and members of the community.

A lunch benefit will be held Sunday, Nov. 10, at the Lions Club in Sherrodsville. The Class of ‘72 has put together the benefit to help their classmate. It will be held from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

There will be sandwiches, deserts and more. There will be raffle tickets available on several items, a 50/50 drawing and all donations will be gratefully accepted.

If you would like to make a donation, you can do so at Go Fund Me for Vic or send donations to Vic at 112 Dewey Avenue, Freeport, OH 43973.

McIntire has worked in the medical field for many years and is facing mounting medical bills after being diagnosed with a degenerative disease known as Arnold-Chiari Malformation.

Arnold-Chiari Malformation is when a part of the cerebellum extends below the foramen magnum and into the upper spinal canal, which causes pressure on the cerebellum and brain stem.

In 2019, she underwent corrective surgery that required surgery of the brain and spinal cord in an attempt to stabilize her ssytems so she may attempt to live as normal of a life as possible.

She is ineligible for any type of short- or long-term disability benefits from her employer.

SWEET VICTORY!

Carrollton football team grabs first victory of the season against Canton South CARROLLTON - It may have taken eight winless weeks to accomplish, but the Carrollton Warriors were able to

add their first W to win the column Friday, Oct. 25 with a 9-7 win over the Canton South Wildcats.

Canton South received the opening kick off and started their first drive at their own 29-yard line.

Carrollton senior Nick Leonard (left) celebrates after the Warriors take down the Canton South Wildcats Friday night. Carrollton’s Joey Beard (right) crosses the goal line on a two-yard touchdown run, the only touchdown of the night for Carrollton. Beard led Carrollton with 30 rushing yards.

The Warrior defense forced Canton South to a three-and-out. The Wildcats punted the ball away, but only 16 yards.

Carrollton started their first drive of the game at Canton South’s 37-yardline.

Austin Colletti, the Warriors sophomore quarterback, threw a strike to senior Brady Benner for a 10-yard gain, moving the ball to the Wildcats’ 27-yard-line. Colletti called his own number a few plays later, rushing nine yards to the 19-yard-line.

Two plays later, the Warriors faced a fourth-and-one at the 18. Colletti kept the ball on a QB sneak, earning two yards and passing the line to gain for a first down.

With a fresh set of downs, Joey Beard controlled the rest of the drive for the Warriors. The running back rushed the ball on five of the next six plays, resulting in his own one-yard touchdown run to put Carrollton ahead 7-0 after Neo Ruiz’s extra point attempt.

The Warriors took 5:01 off the clock on their opening drive, leaving 4:20 left in the first.

Beard finished the game with 15 rushes for 30 yards. Colletti ran the ball 14 times for 28 yards.

Neither team was able to score through the second or third quarters, leaving the rest of the action for the fourth.

The Warriors defense pinned the Wildcats deep in their own territory and took advantage in the fourth quarter.

Canton South’s quarterback mishandled a snap at the nine-yard-line and recovered the ball in the end zone, resulting in a safety and two points for Carrollton, extending their lead to 9-0 with 4:57 remaining in regulation.

“It’s great. We needed that,”

Carrollton’s head coach Jim Tsilimos said about the team earning a safety in the fourth quarter.

With 3:12 left in the game, Canton South forced a Carrollton punt and took over at their own 43.

The drive consisted of big plays, including an 13-yard pick up when Canton South’s Gavin Moses connected with Trent Chavers, moving the ball to Carrollton’s 25-yard-line.

With :22 remaining in the fourth quarter, facing a first-and-goal situation at the two-yard line, Moses kept the ball for Canton South’s first and only touchdown of the game.

Carrollton recovered the squib-kick attempt to seal the victory.

“You have to give credit to Canton South, they hung in there,” Tsilimos said. “Luckily week got the onside.”

Despite losing, Canton South outgained Carrollton in total offense, 165-156.

Colletti completed four passes for 71 yards. His longest pass of the night was to Gage Poole on a 37-yard connection in the third quarter.

Colby Moore led the Carrollton defense with 8.5 tackles, including one sack. Josh Knipp wasn’t far behind, finishing with eight tackles.

Carrollton’s punter, Jarod Becknell, punted the ball five times for 170 yards, averaging 34 yards a punt.

The Warriors will be back in action to take on the Minerva Lions in rivalry week, Friday, Nov. 1 in Minerva.

Both teams enter the game with a 1-8 record but Tsilimos says when it’s your rival, both records are tossed out the window.

“There’s some momentum and the kids feel good about themselves. They can smile, finally,” Tsilimos said. “It’s been a hard eight week. We finally got one...hopefully we can turn it into two.”

Minerva girls team, Bledsoe advances to state race The Minerva girls cross country program team qualified for the state meet for the fifth straight year and the 11th time in program history this past weekend at Pickerington High School.

“The girls exceeded our expectations,” Minerva cross-country head coach Olivia Scott said. “Going into the race I was very nervous. With four of our runners being freshman, you never know how they will react to the pressure of a race like the regional meet.”

The Minerva girls placed fourth overall at the Pickerington regional with a score of 136. Granville was champion with 50 points while Buckeye Valley was runner up with 117 followed by Bexley with 124.

Scott says the girls improved each mile throughout the race.

“They went out calm and every one of them picked off runners and moved up places each mile,” she said.

Sophomore Jenna Cassidy led the lions with a 17th place finish in a time of 19:32.

“Jenna Cassidy was in 31st at the mile and moved up to 17th to qualify herself individually for the second year in a row,” Minerva head coach Olivia Scott said.

“She has turned into such a competitor and was able to drop 20 seconds off of her personal record with a 19:32.”

Caitlyn Hopple raced her way to 34th with a time of 20:13 followed by Layla Monroe in 37th with a time of 20:20.

“Layla Monroe had an awesome last 800 meters as she took out 12 girls,” Scott said about the performance of Monroe.

Herra Hoffee placed 23rd in 20:27.

Aubrey Dunham was the lions fifth runner with a time of 20:29. Madeline

Crissman finished in 51st place with a 20:40 time followed by Emily Norris who placed 91st in 21:32.

Scott said the team’s ability to race together is what drives them to success.

“The strength of our team is our pack.

Hoffee, Dunham, Hopple, Crissman and Norris all performed the best of their ability when it mattered most,” she said.

“I am so proud of them and look forward to next weekend. The race has definitely become more competitive with some previous division one teams dropping back to division two this year.”

The lone qualifying boy runner for Minerva is Nick Bledsoe.

The Minerva boys’ team finished in tenth place at the Pickington Regional Championships. The Lions top runners included Bledsoe (23rd, 16:45), Connor Shingleton (29th, 16:47), Drew Spall placed 62nd in 17:42 followed by Jack Spall in 83rd with a time of 17:57. Other Lion finishers include Ben Brady (100th, 18:09) John Fink (102nd, 18:11), and Brandon Davis (131st, 18:40).

“It was a heartbreaking day for our boys team,” Scott said. “We went into the race knowing we had to run our hearts out to make it to next week. They did just that but we still came up short.”

Scott says the course was more challenging than years past.

“The race this year was definitely more competitive than years passed,” she said.

“Several teams that were previously division one dropped back to division two this year. Normally if you run around a 17:10, that qualifies you to state individually. Connor Shingleton ran 16:57 and missed qualifying by one place.

He is such a tough athlete and

competitor. Luckily he has two more years to run as a lion.”

The season came to an end for a majority of the boys team and Scott says she’s going to miss the effort this senior class puts forth.

“Jack Spall had a fantastic race and ended his career with a personal record.

You can’t ask more than that from a senior. We are so proud of him. John Fink ran strong the entire race,” she said. “I can’t say enough about these senior guys on and off the course. They love each other and are always more concerned with the team than their own accomplishments. It’s hard to find teams

like this. Coach Crawford Coach Monk and I couldn’t be more proud of these young men.”

The varsity teams return to action next Saturday, November the 2nd at the OHSAA State Championships hosted by Pickerington High School. The boys race is at 2:15 and the girls at 11:45.

Members of the state bound Minerva Lions girls cross country team gather for a photo after advancing out of regionals at Pickerington High School.

Barker breaks 20 minutes; qualifies to OHSAA state race Carrollton sophomore and lead runner Camryn Barker will get her shot at a state championship Saturday, Nov. 2.

Barker advanced to the state race with a 23rd-place finish and time of 19:45.8.

Carrollton’s Tessa Bodo placed 83rd with a time of 21:19.4.

Carrollton freshman Maddie Burgett recorded a time of 21:38.5, placing

93rd at the regional meet.

Running a 21:51.7, Carrollton’s Ella Little placed 100th.

Elizabeth Funkhouser placed 120th after putting a time of 22:42.5 on the board.

Junior runner Mary Lewis finished 130th followed by Jessi Cramer’s 141st place finish.

The lone boy regional qualifier for

Carrollton, Alex Carrothers, placed 76th in a time of 18:40.2, missing the slot to advance to the state race.

Camryn Barker, along with all the other area qualifiers, will race Saturday at National Trail Raceway in Hebron, OH in the Ohio High School Athletic Association (OHSAA) State Championships.

It’s been a while since the Conotton Valley Rockets finished with a football record of .500 or above, or even a fourwin season; the last being 2012. They have a shot at finishing 5-5 with a win in their final game of the season Friday night.

The Rockets scored first in the 28-22 home victory over Clay Battelle (WV).

Braden Caldwell opened the scoring,

recording a 37-yard touchdown run for the Rockets, putting his team ahead 70.

Two second quarter touchdowns and another one in the third from Clay Battelle put the Rockets down 22-7.

The Rockets scored at the end of the third on a one-yard run by Ethan Mauge. They converted a two-point try to cut the lead to 22-15.

James Burleson scored on a 16-yard run to tie the game in the fourth.

Caldwell used his legs again, keeping the ball for a one-yard touchdown run to give the Rockets a 28-22 lead late in the contest.

Caldwell came up big again with the game sealing interception in the end zone, with only :40 remaining in regulation.

Rockets win fourth game of the season Carrollton sophomore Camryn Barker, who placed 23rd at the regional meet with a time of 19:45.8, holds her regional medal after the awards ceremony.

Cardinals football team in need of win for shot at post-season The Sandy Valley football team continues to roll, now with an 81 record, the Cardinals are still sitting on the outside of the playoffs looking in, entering the final week of the regular season.

Sandy Valley is ranked nine in Division V Region 17 action; the top eight in each region qualify for state.

Friday night, the Cardinals earned computer points with a 28-8 road victory over Buckeye Trail, who sported a 6-2 record.

Both the Warriors and Cardinals entered the matchup with perfect 3-0 IVC North records; the winner of the game would clinch a share of the league title.

It wasn’t Sandy Valley’s highpowered offense that got the ball rolling Friday night, but the special teams unit.

The Cardinals’ junior, Demetrius

Evans, fielded a punt and returned it 80 yards for a touchdown with 6:05 remaining in the game. Sandy Valley led 7-0.

The Warriors had a shot, constructing a 13-play, 61-yard drive, moving the ball to the Sandy Valley two-yard line.

With a first-and-goal opportunity, Buckeye Trail was unable to convert on four attempts, turning the ball over at the one-yard-line.

It didn’t take long, two plays actually, for the Cardinals to cover 99 yards.

Sandy Valley’s QB, Cameron Blair, connected with Brodie Kelly for a 44-yard pass.

Evans stepped up big for the Cardinals again, this time on offense. He broke free from the Warriors defense and hauled in a 51-yard catch for a touchdown

with 9:25 remaining in the first half.

Buckeye Trail had to score to keep the game in reach.

With 3:21 left in the second quarter, Trail QB Isaac Hickman hooked up with Jack Parry for an 11-yard touchdown. Ronnie Rominger rushed in a two-point conversion to make it 14-8.

The Cardinals did all the scoring in the second half, thanks to the footwork of Blair.

He scored on a 49-yard run late in the third and an 11-yard sprint with 9:08 left in the fourth quarter.

Blair finished with 115 passing yards, going 6-of-8. He also rushed for 74 yards on six attempts.

Brendan Obradovich led the Cardinals rushing attack with 102 yards.

Malvern football team in playoff picture

Ultimately, the Malvern Hornets football team controls their own destiny, whether they’re getting into the playoffs or not.

Coming off a rally win over Tuscarawas Central Catholic, the Hornets improved to 5-4 on the season and sit eighth in Division VII Region 25.

The Hornets found themselves down 24-6 against the Saints but a 30-point fourth quarter propelled Malvern to victory.

“It was a beautiful ugly win for us. We didn't play good at all for about 2 1/2 quarters, turned the ball over and way too many penalties,” Malvern Coach Matt Chiurco said. “Tristan made a huge play at the beginning of the 4th to get us within a score and it was like a domino effect happened. We cranked it up defensively and just took it to them offensively. We played with an edge in the 4th quarter and

that was huge.”

The Hornets take on Sandy Valley Friday night. If Malvern wins, they will be in the playoffs (for the first time since 2013) with a 6/7-seed. If they lose, it’ll be a waiting game, Chiurco says.

“I expect us to play our best game of the year on Friday,” he said. “We're excited for the opportunity!”

Malvern will travel to Sandy Valley (8-1) Friday, Nov. 1.

The Carrollton wrestling team poses in the cafeteria at Carrollton High School. The team and coaches are preparing for their annual wrestling steak fry, slated for Nov. 16 at the Vets Club on Brenner Rd.

Free Press Standard |ELECTIONS & EDUCATION

Thursday, October 31, 2019

Southern Local has a new school resource officer Four face off for two seats on Edison Local BOE Four candidates are seeking the two seats on the Edison Local Board of Education at the Nov. 5 election.

However, only one responded to a questionnaire The Free Press Standard sent to each of the candidates.

The lone responder was M. David Reed, 53, of Richmond, who graduated from Jefferson Union High School in 1984 and Hinds Community College with an Associate degree in computer networking, Systems Technology.

Also on the ballot are Matt Bordash of Richmond, Josh McConnell of Richmond and Warner Sanders of Toronto.

Following are Reed’s responses to the questions asked Edison Local Board candidates.

Why are you running for office?

An interest in knowing where all the money is going and having children in the district while caring for all the kids to make sure they are getting a well-rounded education.

What are your qualifications for this office?

Born and raised in the district for over 50 years, being the former president of the Local Fire Department and Baseball/Softball Youth Association and volunteering in many other areas. I have been around many of the children in the district because of the many activities my own kids are in.

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

Changes in the balance of funding across the board for all activities, ie: sports and academics. Do checks and balances

M. DAVID REED on the budgets on a monthly basis.

Three seek to fill two seats on Stark County ESC board Three candidates are seeking the two seats on the Stark County Educational Service Center Member of Governing Board.

They include Jacqueline DeGarmo, Jeff R. Evans and Mary J. Olson of Uniontown, an incumbent.

Following are the responses received from two of the three candidates to three questions asked to each of the candidates

by The Free Press Standard.

The two responders included Jacqueline DeGarmo, 67, of Canton, and Jeff Evans, 58, of Minerva, a 1979 graduate of Minerva High School and a 1983 graduate of Bowling Green State University with a Bachelor of Arts and Communications degree.

Why are you running for office?

DeGarmo: I would like to further serve my community by supporting the efforts of our Educational Service Center. I am hoping that my rich experience in K-12 education, Higher Ed, small business, local community activism and global economic review will offer insights into solutions as the districts we

JACQUELINE DEGARMO serve face more challenges.

Evans: Children benefit when the ESC, local service organizations and churches and religious communities are encouraged to work together. The ESC can be instrumental with this challenge.

What are your qualifications for this office?

DeGarmo: 31 years in Stark County public education with

expertise in curriculum finance and community, including roles as HS teacher, HS principal, Assistant Superintendent and Superintendent.

Evans: Minerva Local Schools Board of Education three terms 2006-2018, Minerva Mission Co-Founder and President Non-Profit 501-C-3.

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

DeGarmo: It would be heartening to see the learning business of our community take a front seat at the economic development table in Stark County as we better accept the critical role of “talent” in the new creative economy. I hope to help our leadership convene these broader conversations and ensure needed services to our districts to continue at an optimal level.

Evans: The Stark County ESC can continue to play a vital role by coordinating and investing to expand the Care Teams in each school district. Expanding support for more volunteer programs to engage local residents with their respective schools.

SALINEVILLE- There’s a new school resource officer (SRO) in town, or rather, at Southern Local Schools.

Deputy Chase Askounes took on his new role Sept. 12, replacing longtime SRO Deputy Brandon Hoppel. Deputy Askounes is a new member of the Columbiana County Sheriff’s Office, having joined the force about two months ago, but he previously served as an officer for the Liverpool Township Police for 2 ½ years.

He has been busy making the rounds at Southern Local Elementary School and is getting acquainted with the staff and students. The new SRO said everyone has been welcoming and he was excited about the role.

“I love it,” he said. “I go at lunchtime and speak to a lot of the kids so we can have positive interaction. When I get the opportunity, I will go to sporting events so they can see me and have more contact with me after school,” he added.

Askounes said law enforcement has always been an interest of his and he took courses at Eastern Gateway Community College after graduating from high school, which ultimately led to his stints with the township police and CCSO. “It’s one of the things I’ve always wanted to do, just to get to help somebody,” he said. “To help one person change their view or help with something in their life is a proud accomplishment,” he said.

Being around the students should also come easily since

he is the third child in a family of nine and his siblings range in age from five to 27. Once he gets acclimated, he plans to work with the schools and continue the Kelly Bear character-based program for youngsters as well as a drug awareness and positive behavior initiative

for the fifth- and sixth-grade classes.

The Kelly Bear program will take place this spring and he expects to coordinate the latter program with SLES Principal Rich Wright and guidance counselor Larry Rudloff for implementation this year.

Adapted from Washington Irving, here is a spooky show alive with hilarious action and

fun. It begins when Ichabod Crane, a lightly goofy schoolmaster, comes to the farming community of Sleepy Hollow with all his worldly possessions. He’s looking for a good life and a wealthy wife who will supply it.

Once he sets eyes on the local beauty, Katrina Van Tassel, he’s sure his dream will come true. Unhappily for Ichabod, Katrina has a boyfriend who’s extremely jealous... the boisterous Brom Bones. To complicate matters, the graveyard is haunted by a small army of

restless spirits, including the most famous phantom of all, the Headless Horseman.

At a party, Ichabod proposes marriage to Katrina, but is booted out by Brom and forced to make his way home through a terrible storm. In the dark, there’s something shadowy and towering intent on taking Ichabod’s life - the Headless Horseman!

Poor Ichabod has to outrun the galloping phantom! Does he? No one knows for sure because the schoolmaster is never seen again.
