Carrollton Schools dedicates its new field house on campus

By NANCY SCHAAR FPS Correspondent A dedication was held Wednesday, Nov. 6 to officially open the new field house for Carrollton schools.

The field house is located on the campus of the new high school and middle school on Scio Road (SR332). It is adjacent to the football stadium.

Construction began last November

and it was projected to be completed by the end of May 2019. The 23,000 square foot facility is state of the art and ready for students.

It contains a gymnasium with rubberized flooring, two locker rooms for football teams, a wrestling room, and a weight training room. The building will be used for training and practice of volleyball, both boy’s and girl’s basketball, softball, will have baseball batting cages and includes junior and senior high locker rooms. Included is space

for classrooms and physical education classes “We are proud of this legacy in our community and school,” continued Robinson.

The estimated $3 million project did run past the expected date of opening due to the unusual weather we had in the spring and summer.

The 911 Technical Advisory Committee met last week and heard updates regarding the Next Gen project for the county.

Committee President Bob Wirkner reported that the six pilot counties that have completed the work for the Next Gen project can work together to receive the Carbyne texting program.

Carbyne is a public safety technology company that has developed a call handling ecosystem and delivers advanced IP-enabled communication.

All available data is brought into one emergency response system. This system will enable 911 calls to provide the exact location of any incident, provide video streaming and conversational functions.

Wirkner said with a simple click of the mouse, the 911 dispatchers can use any smart phone to immediately view where the incident is located, see the live video that the cell phone owner is seeing and immediately dispatch emergency services that are needed. It will even be able to locate people who are in buildings.

Each county will have to pay about $60,000 each, up front, for the new technology. A grant can then be applied for and each county will receive all but $10,000 back.

A lengthy discussion was held regarding the proper authorization of ordering a life flight for an emergency in the county.

Committee members learned that a life flight usually costs upwards of $35,000. According to Ken Joseph most insurance coverage only pays for a small portion of the cost such as $5,000. And the injured person is left with the responsibility to pay the balance.

One factor that needs weighed before calling for a life flight, according to long time firefighter and department chief Jack Swinehart is the fact that many times emergency personnel are at the sight.

Swinehart said that many times the emergency crews could load and transport the critically injured person to the hospital in the same amount of time it would take for a life flight to arrive.

And then life flight would still need to evaluate, load, and take the injured to a hospital.

The decision has to be made by those on site what will get the injured the

medical attention that is needed in the least amount of time, according to Swinehart.

Wirkner stated that the actual call is to be made from the 911 dispatch center for life flight but they are relying on the recommendation of the fire department and emergency technicians at the scene.

The life flight that responds may be from several origins. The response frequently is dependent on the weather and if the unit has safe flying conditions and which unit is available.

911 Coordinator Sergeant Cheryl Keyser reported that there is a need for cell phones for dispatchers to use.

Keyser explained that during a recent loss of communications at the 911 center in Columbiana County, personal cell phones were used as an option to establish communication.

“This is not good. What if there is a subpoena issued for a dispatcher’s private phone that was used for communications?” questioned Keyser.

Following further discussion, the committee approved the purchase of cellular phone service for dispatcher’s use.

Wirkner informed members that the county sheriff is the person who directs the day to day operation of the PSAP (Public Safety Answering Points).

Wirkner was recently notified that their Technical Advisory Committee was lacking definitions that must be included in the plan.

A definition section had been provided by Wirkner and Keyser and received approval by the committee for inclusion in the presented committee plan.

Included in those definitions are duties of the committee, county commissioners, the sheriff, township and municipalities notifications.

The final topic for discussion was the expected election of officers for 2020.

The committee reviewed the wording for who is responsible for seats available on the committee and who is eligible to be appointed president of the committee.

There was some disagreement as to whether the president must be a fire chief or just a member of the Fire Chief ’s Association. Member Ralph Castellucci said he thought the chair only has to be a member of the committee and said that the Ohio Revised Code does not specify he must be a current chief.

The nominations for officers were tabled until the next meeting in February.

Veterans recognized for their duty, honor and service to our country

By NANCY SCHAAR FPS Correspondent The 11th hour of the 11th day of November will always be set aside to honor all veterans of the United States who have served their country.

Veterans, residents and the fifth-grade class of Carrollton Elementary met at Westview Cemetery Monday to honor all veterans who have served.

The welcome was given by Veterans of Foreign War Quartermaster Jim Newbold as he stated that Veterans Day is when we celebrate and honor all veterans and Memorial Day is when we

honor those who have passed.

Newbold gave a special welcome to 96 year old Carl Miller. Miller served in World War II and fought at the Battle of the Bulge.

“We all signed on the bottom line.

We all put our lives on the line for our country,” said Newbold.

Following an invocation by Chaplain Tom Barnett, there was a sweet reverent amen from the students of the fifth grade class.

The guest speaker for the day was Carroll County Commissioner Robert Wirkner. Wirkner served his country in the Navy in Iraq and served on a special investigation team through the Department of Defense.

“Military Service is a way of life

classified pg. B7

and once you have served, your life is changed forever in ways that only those that have served can truly understand. Not all veterans served in a wartime environment but they shared the military way of life,” stated Wirkner.

Wirkner said that General MacArthur spoke at his retirement about three words. They were duty, honor and country.

“Every veteran swore an oath which is legally binding, however duty runs far deeper than just a legal obligation of obedience and service,” said Wirkner.

He explained that it includes moral commitments, loyalty and faithfulness,

“Honor. In military life, honor has a special meaning. It is not just rules to live by. The most legendary rule in the Code of Honor is that no one is left behind in the field, no one. Not even at the risk of your personal safety, no one is left behind,” continued Wirkner.

When he referred to country, Wirkner said that not only have veterans served their country and defended their family, home and our borders, but that also includes the American way of life.

Grand jury indicts former pharmacist on 22 charges Of the seven indictments returned Nov. 6 by the Carroll County grand jury, five involved drugs, including a former part-time pharmacist at a Carrollton area pharmacy.

According to Carroll County Prosecuting Attorney Steven D. Barnett, the grand jury heard testimony from ten witnesses involving the seven cases, all of which were returned as indictments.

Arraignments for those indicted will be held before Carroll County Common Pleas Court Judge Michael V. Repella II this Thursday, beginning at 8:30 a.m.

Among those drug indictments was RITA M. MCELWAIN-KELLY, 58, of 301 Stratton Lane, Flushing, who was indicted on 11 counts of illegal processing of drug documents and 11 counts of deception to obtain a dangerous drug, all 5th degree felonies.

Prosecutor Barnett said it is alleged that between June 2018 and June 2019, McElwain-Kelly, who worked as a part-time pharmacist at a Carrollton area pharmacy, allegedly changed quantities and altered her own prescriptions to obtain additional refills from her doctor without the doctor’s authorization on 11 different occasions.

The Carrollton police department was assisted in the investigation by investigators from the Ohio State Board of Pharmacy.

Also indicted on felony drug charges is ROBERT A. ATKINSON, 42, of 6164 Trench Rd. SE, Amsterdam, on one count of improper handling of firearms in a motor vehicle, a 4th degree felony; three counts of aggravated possession of drugs, all 5th degree felonies; one count of aggravated possession of drugs, a 3rd degree felony; one count of drug paraphernalia offenses, a 4th degree misdemeanor, and one count of receiving stolen property, a 4th degree felony.

Prosecutor Barnett said Atkinson’s indictment stems from two separate incidents. It is alleged that while Carrollton police officers were working in conjunction the U.S. Marshal’s Regional Fugitive Task Force went to a Waynesburg Rd. NW

address Aug. 26, 2019, searching for a wanted person, Atkinson arrived and was allegedly found in possession of methamphetamine, fentanyl, oxycodone and a loaded handgun in his vehicle. Further search of the vehicle discovered various paraphernalia used to administer drugs, including a glass pipe.

In a second incident allegedly occurring Oct. 23, Carroll County sheriff’s deputies executed a search warrant at a Waynesburg Rd. address where Atkinson was discovered in possession of a mobile air compressor unit that was reported stolen from Tuscarawas County earlier in the week.

Other indictments were returned against the following: - COREY J. OCHELTREE, 26, of 1217 Mace Rd. NE, Carrollton, indicted on one count each of carrying concealed weapons, improper handling of a firearm in a motor vehicle and receiving stolen property, all 4th degree felonies. It is alleged that Carroll County Sheriff’s deputies and Carrollton police initiated a traffic stop Oct. 20 on a vehicle in Carrollton and in which Ocheltree was a passenger.

During the course of the stop, a loaded handgun was found concealed on Ocheltree’s person and upon further investigation, officers identified the handgun as stolen.

- SHELLY R. SMOOTLEACH, 47, of 9173 James St. SE, Lot #2, Waynesburg, indicted on one count of possession of drugs, a 5th degree felony. It is alleged that Carrollton Police officers made a traffic stop Oct. 9 upon a vehicle driven by Smoot-Leach for a traffic violation. When asked to exit the vehicle, several pills, which were later identified as the narcotic Oxycodone, were discovered in her possession and without a prescription.

- JOHN A. ARNDER, 33, of 717 Center St., Apt. 3, Dover, indicted on one count of possession of heroin, a 5th degree felony; two counts of receiving stolen property, each 4th degree felonies, and one count of possession of drugs, a 1st degree misdemeanor. It is alleged that

while on routine patrol Oct. 9, a Carroll County deputy discovered a vehicle stolen from New Philadelphia parked in the driveway of a Sherrodsville residence. While investigating, a man, later identified as Arnder, attempted to leave from the rear of the residence.

When taken into custody, Arnder allegedly had Alprazolam on his person, which was not prescribed to him. Further investigation revealed a second stolen vehicle from New Philadelphia on the property, which was also alleged to have been brought to the residence

by Arnder. During a search of the stolen vehicles before impound, suspected heroin was also found.

By NANCY SCHAAR FPS Correspondent

There are many things to watch for,” continued Faber.

The flier given by Faber said there are four ways to report government fraud. You can use email, the phone, a letter, or a mobile app. All tips are reviewed by the Auditor’s Special Investigations Unit. Faber has implemented two special prosecutors to handle the tips.

He said we must deter crime in government.

“We want you to talk to your sheriff and prosecutor. Elected officials have some liability and are all part of the team,” encouraged Faber.

Commissioner Bob Wirkner advised Faber regarding the firewalls and other security measures that are in place for Carroll County.

Carroll County Auditor Lynn

Faber spoke of areas that are more vulnerable than other areas of county government.

Faber said the counties of Sandusky, Logan, Licking, Wayne, Fayette and Richmond were hit by malware.

Fairclough and Faber discussed software options that will be available in the near future and what programs will work best.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Rob Portman (R-OH) announced the U.S. Department of Transportation will award the Regional Transportation Improvement Project (RTIP) $18 million in funding as part of the Better Utilizing Investment to Leverage Development (BUILD) competitive grant program.

This funding will help RTIP, a public agency serving Carroll, Columbiana, and Stark counties, construct a three-mile extension of the existing two-lane US-30 expressway through East Canton.

Portman released the following statement applauding the announcement: “This is great news for Carroll, Columbiana, and Stark counties and I want to thank Secretary Chao for her support and Stark County Commissioner Richard Regula for his tireless efforts to bring these improvements to the region’s infrastructure. This grant will help complete the important expansion work that the city is undertaking and boost opportunities for economic growth and job creation,” said Portman.

“Opening access to the trucking industry on Route 30 is critical for the safety conditions and growing energy industry in the Marcellus and Utica shale

region in Northeast Ohio.”

“Thank you Secretary Chao, Senator Portman, Congressman Gonzalez, and the entire Ohio delegation for supporting Stark County’s application for the BUILD Grant. This $18 million will ensure that we can make the improvements to the US-30 expressway that are needed to continue to attract jobs and economic opportunities to the region,” said Stark County Commissioner Richard Regula.

Senator Portman wrote a letter to Secretary of Transportation Elaine Chao in support of the city of Canton’s bid on October 10, 2019. County officials also met with the office and Transportation officials to advocate for the importance of the project. The project was prioritized in Ohio’s Statewide Transportation Improvement Plan and recently received $2 million from the Transportation Review Advisory Committee.

State Rep. Thomas West (D-Canton) said, “This grant funding represents a significant investment in our community, and I want to thank all of our elected officials who worked so hard to secure it. The improvement to Route 30 will boost our local economy and increase safety on this critical byway.”

Commissioners learn about RTIP’s federal grant

By NANCY SCHAAR FPS Correspondent

Carroll County Commissioner Bob Wirkner was pleased to report that he had been notified that the State Route 30 RTIP (Rural Transportation Improvement Project) has been notified they will receive $18 million that is to be used to purchase rights of way along the proposed SR 30 route expansion.

State of Ohio Department of Transportation officials had recently viewed the proposed route expansion including the connecting spur that would connect Carrollton to the new highway. This includes 14 miles that will be the northern connector for Carroll County to SR 30.

“It is estimated that 13,000 cars a day will use this connector,” said Wirkner.

Wirkner said the infrastructure grant for $58 million is still in the works but the good news is that the $18 million grant can be used as the county’s 20% share.

In other matters, Wirkner reported that during a recent storm, Columbiana County emergency dispatch was shut down.

“They found out what had

happened and it all came back to one single switch. But we can learn from that. If the situation happened here, we would know to check that switch. A redundancy system will be implemented,” stated Wirkner.

Wirkner was pleased to report that Columbiana County’s 911 calls were immediately switched to Carroll County 911 Dispatch, as they are designed to do. Wirkner assured the board that not one single call was missed and all calls were answered and dispatched as needed immediately.

Following Wirkner’s report on the 911 Technical Advisory Committee’s meeting held recently, commissioners approved the plan to purchase cell phones to be used by 911 dispatch members.

In other business commissioners: - LEARNED from Commissioner Jeff Ohler that the four tops of the courthouse clock tower are finished and that 90% of the painting has been done.

The rest will only take a few days and will be done as soon as weather permits.

- AGREED to changes to the Americans with Disabilities Act compliant procedure and the Title VI program that changes designee Sonja Leggett’s name change to Sonja Trbovich.

CHS students hold mock election

Members for the Junior Government and AP Government classes at Carrollton High School followed the pattern of registered Carroll County voters almost to a “T” in last Tuesday’s general election.

According to a summary sheet submitted to the FPS, the students picked the same Carrollton village and Center Twp. candidates as registered voters except for one – and that was the write-in candidate for the Carrollton Board of Education.

They also followed the trend of voters in rejecting the proposed additional 0.25 Park District levy.

According to the government instructor, Marcia Folk, 91 juniors chose to vote. “But not all of these students voted for every candidate/issue,” she said.

Following are the juniors’ top choices with actual election winners (based on unofficial results) in parenthesis:

Candidates For Carrollton Mayor – William J. Stoneman, 84, (505); Carrollton Clerk-Treasurer – Darla Tipton, 87, (506); Carrollton Council – Christopher R. Barto, 77, (391); Christopher R. Modranski, 38, (393); Center Twp. Trustee – Mark W. Walters, 47, (633); David Householder, 41, (242); Center Twp. Fiscal Officer – Carolyn Leggett, 62, (400); Pamela S. Berardinelli, 20, (363); Lorrie Kaltenbaugh, 8, (138); Carrollton Board of Education – Wendy Gotschall, 63 (2,449); Michael A. Pozderac, 59, (1,861); Helen Skinner, 14 (100); Dan Ries, 0, (535).

Issue Proposed Tax Levy (additional) Carroll County Park District For the tax levy – 36, (2,065); Against the tax levy – 49, (3,589).

Thank You!

Applause Grateful for Edison Levy Support On behalf of the Edison Local School District, I want to thank voters for supporting the 2.1-mill emergency renewal levy on Election Day. Their passage of the seven-year measure will help further the district’s plans to unify sports and school facilities on the grounds of Edison High School in Richmond and provide a win-win for the school and community alike. The levy, which would generate $1,049,150 per year, will help construct a 1,500-seat gymnasium and add baseball and softball fields and new parking lots to carry EHS well into the future. Currently, the baseball and softball fields are located off-campus at Jefferson State Lake and athletes have held track practice and meets and junior high basketball practice about 10 miles away at Stanton Elementary in Hammondsville. By bringing these activities back to the high school campus, it will centralize them in one location and offer more safety for students and convenience for parents who have to drive throughout the area to attend events.

And since it is a renewal, there will be no new taxes incurred by residents. The original levy which passed in 1994 was used as necessary additional revenue to handle daily operations; however, proceeds from this emergency renewal levy will cover the centralization plan for extracurricular activities. The school board previously hired MS Consultants of Youngstown to establish a program design for future facilities and the firm will be used for the centralization plan.

It will take 12-16 months to construct the new gym and possibly six months to complete the ballfields, while work has already been completed on the new $500,000 track by Vasco of Massillon.

Because of the voters’ support, these ideas will soon be a reality and we at Edison Local Schools are sincerely grateful. It is a great time to be part of the Wildcat Nation.

Thank you again, Superintendent Bill Beattie

Sheriff Speaks

By DALE WILLIAMS Carroll County Sheriff

As we enter the winter season, we know there will be rain. We know there will be freezing rain.

We know there will be ice. We know there will be snow.

The best tip I can give all drivers is to slow down. You know the roads might be slippery. You know it will take you just a few more minutes to get to work or get to school or where you need to be.

This is still Ohio. We have hills, we have curves, plenty of them on our roadways. Just please use common sense.

There are always a lot of accidents with the first snow. It seems drivers forget from last winter how to drive in snow and ice.

My deputies, 911 dispatch officers, our fire departments, and our emergency services are here

Lest We Forget

By CAPT. CHARLES PEARSON

U.S. Marine Corps, ret.

Growing conditions are tough for many Ohio farmers this year, but President Trump has delivered a ray of hope by announcing a plan to use more ethanol. This announcement will help Ohio ethanol plants, farmers and rural families across the state and nation.

However, this won’t happen if President Trump can’t get the EPA to listen to him. For several years, the federal EPA has granted secret exemptions to big oil companies allowing them to not blend ethanol. This year, the EPA quadrupled this exemption number without justification and Ohio has felt the impact. In fact, just a few weeks ago Three Rivers Energy in Coshocton was forced to close its doors and send workers home, citing in part the EPA’s overuse of these exemptions.

Farmers across the nation know that President Trump needs to act. He needs to not only say he supports farmers, but also take action at the EPA. Ben Klick Board Member – District 5 Ohio Corn and Wheat Growers Association

Brown applauds senate’s passage of legislation to stop animal cruelty WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH) is applauding Senate passage of his Preventing Animal Cruelty and Torture (PACT) Act, legislation that would make the gruesome torture and killing of animals a federal offense and make it easier to prosecute those involved in animal cruelty.

“Intentionally harming animals for entertainment is an egregious act that we cannot tolerate,” said Brown. “This legislation will help put a stop to these disgusting acts, protect animals, and bring those committing these crimes to justice.”

Disturbingly, in so-called “animal crush videos,” individuals brutally kill, mutilate and torture small and defenseless animals as a perverse form of entertainment to be shared over the internet.

In 2010, Congress passed the Animal Crush Video Prohibition Act, which made the creation, sale and distribution of these animal crushing videos illegal.

However, the actual acts of cruelty against these animals is still legal. The PACT Act would build on previous legislation by making these reprehensible acts illegal.

Sens. Pat Toomey (R-PA) and Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) are leading the Senate version of the bill. Reps. Ted Deutch (DFL) and Vern Buchanan (R-FL) introduced the House version.

Brown is a cosponsor of the legislation.

The PACT Act is endorsed by the Humane Society of the United States, the National Sheriffs’ Association, Fraternal Order of Police, and the Association of Prosecuting Attorneys.

to take care of you. But if you drive just a bit slower, maybe you won’t need us and that will make us all happy.

Cell phones - I don’t understand people who think they can text and drive at the same time. If your eyes are on the phone screen, they are not on the road or other drivers. Put that phone away. You can pull over when it is safe to do so and you can answer the message if it is that important.

We are seeing too many accidents caused by cell phones.

Before cell phones, those messages, those calls all could wait until we got home or we got to work.

Wear your seat belts. They do save lives. Put the cell phone in the back seat until you reach your destination. Slow down.

Prepare for some snow and ice.

You know we will get some.

Just slow down and keep your family safe.

Joe R. Hastings was born in Malvern, Ohio, and later moved to Magnolia where he entered the U. S. Army during World War II. After his basic training, PFC Joe Hastings was sent to Drabenderhohe, Germany, serving with Company C, 386th Infantry, 97th Infantry Division.

On April 12, 1945, during an attack against strong enemy forces defending Drabenderhohe from dug-in positions on high commanding ground, Joe thought only of the safety of his fellow soldiers. As squad leader of a light machine gun section supporting the advance of the 1st and 3rd Platoons, he braved direct rifle, machine gun, 20mm and mortar fire, some of which missed him only by inches while rushing forward some 350 yards of open rolling fields to reach a position from which he could fire on the enemy troops.

From this vantage point he killed the crew of a 20mm gun and a machine gun, driving several of the enemy rifle men from their positions. He so successfully shielded the 1st Platoon that it had time to reorganize and remove its wounded

to safety.

Joe Hastings then observed the 3rd Platoon to his right was being hit with very heavy 40mm and machine gun fire. He again ran 150 yards with his gun to the leading element of that unit, where he killed the crew of the 40mm gun.

He then spearheaded the Platoon’s attack on the enemy, firing his gun at hip height, disregarding the bullets that whipped by him, until the assault had carried 175 yards to the objective. He and his riflemen killed or wounded many of the enemy and put two machine guns out of action.

PFC Hastings, by his bold and fearless leadership and unrelenting determination to protect his men and to wipe out the formidable German opposition, cleared the path of his company’s safe advance into Drabenderhohe. He was killed four days later while again supporting the 3rd Platoon. He sacrificed his life for his fellow man, including you and me.

We still have troops today, like PFC Hastings, who are willing to lay down their lives for their fellow soldiers and our freedom. We must never forget them. Please keep them in your prayers.

Simple Thankfulness and How to Have It “So whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.” Jesus Christ, Matthew 7:12 At our core, in our souls, we all want to be that person that is more thankful. We know those people, or at least have heard of those, that ‘do thankfulness’ at least a bit better than we do.

And even if we don’t know them, we know living thankfully is a better way to live, a happier way, and a healthier way. Jesus speaks about a way of life that blesses one another. A life of thankfulness empowers us to live that way. A life of thankfulness is simple, if you embrace these 3 things...

Embrace the fact that it’s not about you.

Whatever ‘it’ is in life, or life itself, that ‘it’ is not about you. Contrary to popular opinion, life doesn’t revolve around you. As we’ll see in a moment, it’s about God. If you live life in a vacuum where it all revolves around you, you’ll eventually self implode. We know people who are unhappy and they’re lives are usually marked by blaming others, having a proclivity for quick retaliation, and (knowingly or not) hurting others. What happens on the inside of a life like that? Sadness, selfishness, a bad outlook, and continually striving for a reward that will never satisfy. And why?

There’s no thankfulness in a life like that; there’s no gratitude towards others. And when there’s no gratitude towards others, there’s no celebration.

You can’t be thankful if it’s about you. On the other hand, when we embrace the fact that life is about others, we begin to see value in life and that causes thankfulness; and that thankfulness overflows. Selfishness implodes, valuing life explodes in thankfulness.

Embrace the value of others.

Thankfulness is about seeing and embracing the value of others. God has created others and one of those reasons is so that we can verbally bless, praise, and show our thankfulness to others. The Bible is full of examples of thanking others such as in Philippians 1:3, “I thank my God in all my remembrance of you…”. When you focus on the value of others, you give yourself an opportunity

to see everything that they do that is good. Too often, we focus on the negative in others and what is gossip worthy. However, focusing on the value of others changes the life dynamic to see the value in others and that causes a desire to be thankful to them for who they are and for what they’re doing.

Embrace the value of God. Thankfulness is ultimately and primarily about seeing and embracing the value of God. If we’re not thankful for God, our thankfulness towards others is limited. James 1:17 says, “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with Whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.” You’ve heard the saying, “God is good, all the time!” and that’s true. Every good thing that we enjoy, whether it be good weather, love from one another, a needed boost in our salary, our next breath, etc., is from God. And even in the bad times, God is good in that He makes comfort and peace available through others and through Himself.

And when we embrace God through Jesus Christ and His Gospel, we have an eternity to thank Him, (1Corinthians 15:3-4, “For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that He was buried, that He was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures”). Since He is good and He shows us His goodness, the natural reaction is to thank Him not only for what He does, but Who He is.

When we fully embrace the value of the Creator for Who He is, we can fully embrace the value of others for who they are. When we do that, a life of Thanksgiving will flow from us.

It’s simple: A life of thanksgiving is born from the value we have towards others and towards God. Cultivate your value in God and others and reap a life of thanksgiving.

Christ’s Blessings to you, Scott Welch Senior pastor Christ Community Church

Designs by Beverly branches out with new storefront

By NANCY SCHAAR FPS Correspondent Designs by Beverly will hold an open house Friday and Saturday, Nov. 22 and 23. The new shop is located at 1021 Mayham Road NE, Carrollton.

Hours on Friday will be 10 a.m. to 5 pm and on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Owner Beverly McClure has been making her own silk flower arrangements for family and friends for many years.

“I wasn’t sure about starting my own business but was encouraged by family and friends to try it,” said McClure.

She started the shop in a small building adjacent to her home on Mayham Road, but it just wasn’t big enough. So last year, she and her husband, Rob put the finishing touches on a 16 feet by 28 feet building beside their home. Rob said they worked on it a little at a time and finally finished last year.

Beverly said she began by making Christmas wreaths and sold them at the Dellroy Craft Show in November. Several friends began asking her to make them silk flower arrangements placed in hanging baskets.

SPORTS SANDY VALLEY GOES DOWN SWINGING Thursday, November 14, 2019 B1

fpssports44615@yahoo.com

No. 8-seeded Cardinals drops back-and-forth game against No. 1-seeded Kirtland KIRTLAND - In order to make the high school football playoffs in Ohio, you need to make the top eight in your region.

The Sandy Valley Cardinals did just that, sneaking into the playoffs with the No. 8 seed, to play the No. 1-seeded, undefeated and defending state champion Kirtland Hornets.

Kirtland, a team who has won easily throughout the 10 regular season games, was tested when they hosted Sandy Valley.

The Cardinals battled so resiliently, they only trailed by one-point at the beginning of the fourth quarter but ultimately lost 38-24.

The Cardinals were the first team to score.

With 5:05 remaining in the first quarter, Sandy Valley’s Cameron Blair connected with Brodie Kelly to put the Cardinals ahead 7-0.

Kirtland responded one minute later with a short touchdown run and took an 8-7 lead after converting a two-point conversion.

Blair threw his second touchdown of the game to Demetrius Evans for 18-

yards. Sandy Valley took the lead again, 14-8 with 10:42 left in the first half of play.

Evans finished the game with 10 catches for 90 yards and a touchdown.

On the ensuing drive, the Cardinals forced a Kirtland punt, but the Hornets took over shortly after when the ball was stripped from Blair. Kirtland took over at their own 30 and drove it down the field and scored on a 22-yrd jet sweep. Kirtland reassumed the lead (1514) with 1:40 left in the second quarter.

With 8:15 remaining in the third quarter, Brendan Obradovich scored a touchdown for the Cardinals, giving his team a 21-18 lead.

Kirtland answered on a 35-yard Mason Sullivan touchdown run with 7:01 left in the third, taking a 25-21 lead.

Jamon McCort kicked a 33-yard field goal for Sandy Valley, cutting the deficit to only one-point (25-24) with 4:05 remaining in the third quarter.

Looking to put the game out of reach, Kirtland went with a screen pass to Mason Sullivan, who rumbled down to the one-yard line before being tackled.

Kirtland’s Liam Powers tried punching it in from the one-yard-line on a second-and-goal attempt, but fumbled the ball into the end zone.

Sandy Valley recovered.

The Cardinals were unable to take advantage of the turnover.

Kirtland added another touchdown on a 52-yard touchdown run by Luke Gardner with 5:07 left in regulation.

The Hornets now led 31-24.

With three minutes remaining, in a last-ditch effort, Blair’s fourth down pass was picked off by Danny Davidson.

On fourth-and-one from Sandy Valley’s 21, Kirtland’s Gardner took a pitch and broke free around the right side of the line and sprinted to the end zone for the final touchdown of the game with 2:13 left in the game.

Blair ended his junior season with 282 yards and two touchdowns on 24-of-42 passing.

The Cardinals end the season with a final record of 9-2 and an Inter-Valley Conference (IVC) North championship and a playoff appearance, both for the second year in a row.

Cuyahoga Heights defeat Hornets in round one

GARFIELD HEIGHTS - Saturday night against Cuyahoga Heights marked Malvern’s first playoff game since the 2013 season.

The Malvern Hornets, seeded No. 8, took the road and traveled to No. 1seeded Cuyahoga Heights to take on the Redskins. Cuyahoga Heights won the playoff game 49-6.

“It was a disappointing night to say the least. Cuyahoga Heights is a very good football team, but we didn't do ourselves

any favors,” said Malvern head coach Matt Chiurco. “The last five minutes of the first quarter was hard to watch in all aspects of the game. These last few games we've had multiple turnovers and when your playing good teams, that isn't going to end well, much like it did tonight.”

The Hornets displayed hope on their first drive of the game, converting two first downs courtesy of a pass from Derk Hutchison and run by Adam Moser that ended in a fumble. Cuyahoga Height’s

defense recovered the loose ball.

The Redskin’s Ryan Krajewski recorded three rushing touchdown and QB Sam Shaffer passed for two more, putting Cuyahoga Heights in control after one quarter, 28-0.

The Redskins added another touchdown in the first half to take a 35-0 lead into halftime. Then added two more touchdowns in the second half.

Malvern’s only touchdown of the game came in the fourth quarter on an Xavier

Watson 20-yard run.

“I feel like we are making progress, but we still have a ways to go, to get where we want to be,” Chiurco said about his underclassmen. “I’m really going to miss this senior class. Every single one of them is a great kid and fun to be around. They were never the vocal type, but instead let

their actions speak for themselves, something our underclassmen should take note of. I'm glad these guys got to have a playoff experience, just wish it would have went better than it did for them, because they deserved it.”

Malvern finished the season with an overall record of 5-6.

Malvern’s Xavier Watson tackles a Cuyahoga Heights player in the team’s playoff game last week.

wanted them were older or traveled and weren’t able to take proper care of hanging baskets on porches. So the silk flowers were the perfect alternative.

“Most of my work is in pots and hanging baskets. I do home arrangements too,” said Beverly.

Beverly does design flower arrangements for all seasons. She said her taste is not primitive but she does use a few rustic containers for arrangements.

This time of year, Beverly is busy making tombstone saddles

and sprays that are used on the grave. Those come with firm anchors so they don’t blow away.

Beverly has experience in accounting and has taken several classes in floral design. But the items she makes are just from her imagination.

She recently obtained some unique green John Deere tractor plant holders and for Carroll County farmers they should sell well.

Other items include seasonal home arrangements, outdoor

containers, wreaths, grapevine angels, crosses, wall baskets, tabletop arrangements, funeral arrangements, wrought iron plant stands, shepherds hooks, basket sleeves, animal and angel figurines, decorative gift and storage boxes, tapestry and quilted throws.

During the open house, all arrangements will be 10% off and door prizes will be given away.

Beverly invites you to visit her new showroom and see her displays of silk flowers.

John Sobolewski, NOACC board chairman, (from left) presents a plaque and trophy to Minerva Area Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Denise Freeland, Dave Catlett, owner of Dave Catlett Construction, and Gary Chaddock, Minerva Area Chamber of Commerce board member.

Minerva’s Catlett receives chamber’s Bright Star Award David Catlett, owner of David Catlett Construction, was honored at the Northern Ohio Area Chambers of Commerce Bright Star Awards presentation on Oct. 22 in Westlake.

About 40 chambers of commerce across northern Ohio recognized a volunteer from their chamber as their “Bright Star,” and who has “made a significant impact on the chamber through membership, retention, spon-

sorship, economic development, operations and/or education.”

Each Bright Star is an active chamber member and is likely to be an unsung hero or a dedicated behind-the-scenes volunteer.

Catlett was nominated for this award by the Minerva Area Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors for his generosity in giving of his time and resources to the Chamber and other community organizations and

for chairing the annual Minerva Chamber Rodeo.

The volunteers honored represented a wide range of involvement with their respective chambers, some having been a member and or officer or committee chairman for 20-plus years and some being newly involved, but each of whom has given freely of his time, working hard for his chamber without any expectations.

Burgett Angus Farm LLC, Carrollton, recently re-enrolled in the American Angus Association®’s MaternalPlus® program as a commitment to making genetic improvements in lifetime cow herd productivity.

Breeders participating in MaternalPlus are keenly focused to better evaluate herd reproductive performance, the number one profit driver in the cow-calf industry.

MaternalPlus is a voluntary, inventory-based reporting system that collects additional reproductive trait data to pro-

vide Angus breeders and their customers the information they need to make effective selection decisions. To date, more than 140 breeders have completed MaternalPlus enrollment.

The program allows producers to capture cow herd and reproductive performance data; gain faster access to preweaning EPDs as a selection tool; characterize females through heifer pregnancy EPDs tied directly to herd genetics; expand new trait development for Angus reproductive and longevity measures; and streamline their ability to

track heifer and cow reproductive records through AAA Login.

In addition, MaternalPlus lays the groundwork for selection tools related to cow longevity in the herd. Gathering these records will allow the Association to cultivate research related to cow herd productivity and make improvements similar to what the Angus breed has witnessed in other economically relevant traits.

For more information on MaternalPlus, visit the Association website or access AAA Login.

Fall Home Improvment Ideas How to create a winter-friendly outdoor living space For many homeowners, the arrival of fall and winter marks an end to time spent lounging and dining al fresco on the patio.

But cold air does not necessarily mean patio furniture must be packed up until flowers bloom anew in spring.

In its 2017 Home Design Trends Survey, the American Institute of Architects found that consumers continue to emphasize practical features that expand the functionality of their homes via heavy investment in outdoor living spaces. The survey found that the popularity of outdoor living spaces increased by 72 percent between 2012 and 2017, highlighting just how much homeowners enjoy spending time outdoors. By taking measures to make their outdoor living spaces winterproof, homeowners can enjoy these

areas of their homes even more.

• Cover your deck. A covered deck may appear to make the space less enjoyable during spring and summer. However, covered decks can protect residents from the sun on especially hot days while also making the space more functional in winter.

An overhead shelter on a deck can be outfitted with heaters (and fans to provide a cooling effect in summer) and allow residents to sit outside and watch snow fall without getting wet.

• Plant the right trees. Coniferous trees prevent wind, which can be especially harsh in winter. Homeowners who are unsure about which direction wind typically comes from can consult a landscape architect to determine where to plant the trees to ensure they’re most effective.

• Fire up the patio. A firepit or fireplace can warm up an outdoor living area, making such a space warm and cozy even on a cold winter night. A patio with a built-in firepit can cost a pretty penny, but such an addition can withstand winter weather better than a standalone firepit, which might be vulnerable to being tipped over by winter winds.

• Install lighting. The sun sets early in winter, so homeowners won’t be able to rely on natural light to illuminate their outdoor living spaces well into the evening like they do in summer.

Heat lamps can be used to both warm and illuminate a space, serving dual, budget-friendly functions.

With the right adjustments, outdoor living spaces can be enjoyed throughout winter.

Covering a deck or patio and/or adding a fire feature are two ways to make outdoor living spaces more winter-friendly.

Consider these 10 tips Tips to store firewood for winter safety the right way this fall Winter begins on Dec. 21, 2019, and extends to March 19, 2020, in the Northern Hemisphere. Those three months can be both beautiful to behold and difficult to endure.

Winter has its share of safety hazards, and extra effort may be required to protect one’s health and well-being when the chill creeps in. In recognition of that, the National Safety Council and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention offer these winter safety tips.

1. Winterize your home to keep interior temperatures comfortable and prevent weather-related damage. Winterizing includes insulating water lines that run along exterior walls, cleaning out gutters, installing weather stripping, and replenishing insulation.

2. Exercise in cold tempera-

tures can put many people at risk of heart attack — especially those who are typically inactive.

If you must exercise in cold weather, remember to stretch beforehand. Take breaks when shoveling or ask for help.

3. Check carbon monoxide alarms to see if they are working properly. Every year in the United States, more than 400 people die from and 50,000 are treated for carbon monoxide poisoning. Exhaust from improperly vented heating appliances can contribute to carbon monoxide sickness.

4. Prepare a winter emergency kit and keep it in your car in case you are stranded in inclement weather. The kit can include food, water, blankets, first-aid supplies, flares, and booster cables, among other items.

5. Wear appropriate clothing

sues around the house.

Wood that is freshly cut has a water content of 60 percent or more. Yet, for best burning ability, wood should be near 20 percent in water content.

Green wood is hard to ignite and will not burn nearly as well or efficiently as seasoned wood.

Another concern associated with green wood is that it can contribute more to creosote accumulation in the flue of a fireplace. Creosote is a combustible material that may lead to fires if left unchecked.

science-based lawn, garden and home improvement innovator, seasoning wood typically takes six months to a year. Homeowners may opt to purchase seasoned wood that already has sat and dried.

Homeowners who have an abundance of firewood have to store it somewhere. Log Splitters Direct suggests choosing a dry, breezy area of the property that is about 20 feet from the nearest door to the house. This helps avoid hitchhiker pests from coming inside with the wood, such as termites, ants, spiders, and mice. Do not stack the wood flush against a structure. It should be at least a few inches away to allow airflow behind the stack.

Stick to organized rows of wood no more than four feet high. Log racks and pallets and posts will keep the wood up and off of the ground where moisture and rotting can develop.

Placing the logs in an unorganized pile will impede air flow and cause the wood to rot rather than continue to dry and season even more.

Homeowners also should use a cover to protect seasoned firewood from the elements. Position a tarp or plastic sheeting so it blankets the top of the stack and extends a few inches down the sides. Keep the sides mostly exposed to air. Others prefer to stack it in a barn or shed or under an overhang.

Green wood is less expensive than seasoned wood. Those who prefer this method should do so in the early spring and let it season over the next several months.

Bankrate says that the cost of a cord of wood varies across the country, but in general one can expect to pay between $120 and $180 for a cord of hardwood that is split and seasoned.

This price may be higher in mid-winter when demand increases.

6. Sprinkle sand or cat litter on icy patches of walkways to improve traction. Sand or cat litter is easier on the environment than some chemical ice melt products.

7. Consider a whole-house generator as an emergency backup if the power goes out in winter. Generators can keep the heat running and the refrigerator humming along until power is restored.

8. Exercise caution with space heaters and other supplemental heating devices. Turn them off when you leave the room, and do not leave them on overnight while you are sleeping.

9. Slow down when driving in the snow. Black ice patches can be difficult to see, and snow itself can reduce tire traction.

Leave extra time to get where you need to be.

10. Consider switching from gloves to mittens. With fingers touching each other inside mittens, they help generate more body heat than when they’re inside gloves.

These are just a few safety tips to heed during winter.

Fall Home Improvment Ideas 13 ways to prepare your home for winter Is your home ready for winter?

Even though you probably want to soak up every last fall day, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to take some time to prepare your home for winter.

Use this checklist to make sure youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re ready for another round of the cold and snow.

1. Clean Out Your Gutters Clearing out your gutters and downspouts should usually be done a few times a year, depending on how many trees you have. But emptying them before the freezing temperatures set in is an important first step to winterizing your home.

2. Assess Your Roof Roof maintenance is best done before the cold sets in, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a crucial part of preparing your home for winter. The best way to determine your roof â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s integrity is to do a visual inspection.

You will want to look for sections of the roof where the shingles are cracking, bending, or just plain missing. Loose screws and rusted panels should also be investigated to see if there are some potential leaks in the making.

3. Protect Your Wood Deck Sweep your deck clean of fallen leaves and other dirt and debris.

If you didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t apply a fresh coat of sealer in the spring, now may be the time to do that before the snow starts falling. You can lay a large tarp down to protect your wood or make sure to be diligent about using a plastic shovel for snow removal.

4. Flush Your Sprinklers As you winterproof your home, pay special attention to outdoor water sources. If your lawn has a sprinkler system, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to shut the water off before the ground freezes.

5. Check Your Snowblower Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait for the first snowfall to get your snow removal equipment in order. If you havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t run your snowblower in a while, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll probably want to change the motor oil, spark plug and air filter before firing it up. You should also lubricate the chute, levers and linkages throughout the machine so that everything turns easily once youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re removing snow.

6. Bring in Outdoor Plants, Furniture and Grill Before the freezing weather hits, take inventory of all your outdoor accessories and plants.

Clean all of your outdoor furniture and store in your garage or shed. Any yard equipment you used during the summer should be cleaned up and stored in a dry place when preparing for winter. For your garden hose, disconnect it from your faucet and put it away. For mowers, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll want to scrape off any grass that is caked onto the blades. This can be done with a putty knife or wire brush. You should also take this time to change the oil, air filter and spark plug so youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re prepared for when spring rolls around.

7. Seal Gaps Around Your Doors and Windows

An important goal of winterizing your home is to keep your heating bills down and make sure your home is blocking out the cold air effectively. A great way to do this is to add weather stripping to your doors and caulk any window gaps. To prevent a draft from sneaking in, make sure all your windows stay locked.

8. Protect Your Pipes Unheated interior spaces like your garage, attic or basement are most at risk for frozen pipes.

Insulate exposed water pipes, such as those in crawl spaces or that run along outside walls, floors and ceilings. Use heat tape or thermostatically controlled heat cables to wrap pipes. Other ways to protect your pipes from freezing are to keep your garage closed as much as possible and even when you arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t home, and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let the temperature of your house fall under 55 degrees Fahrenheit.

9. Clean Your Chimney and Check Fireplace Flue After giving it the summer off, having your chimney inspected and cleaned is important for fire safety. Hire a local professional for a certified fireplace and chimney inspection and cleaning before the winter hits.

An inspection will determine if there has been any buildup through the off-seasons and test your flue for a tight seal when closed.

10. Test-Run Your Heating System and Replace Filter

Change the air filter in your furnace and check its efficiency before the cold weather begins.

Stock up on several air filters for the winter, and change them every month. The best thing for your furnace is to call an HVAC professional to come out and inspect it for you to make sure everything is operational. During their inspection, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll clean the furnace and change the filter for you. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also worth paying a little more to have them clean out your ducts as well.

11. Cover Your Water Heater To stop your hot water heater from losing heat as quickly, you can purchase a water heater insulation blanket. These will only run you about $20-$25 from your local home improvement store and save you some cash on your heating bill.

12. Install a Programmable Thermostat According to Energy Star, using a smart or programmable thermostat will save the average consumer more than 8%

Some home repairs can sink budgets fast A home is the most substantial investment many people will ever make.

Once down payments have been made and closing costs have been paid, homeowners may still be staring down sizable expenses as they begin to tackle any repairs that need to be made.

Home maintenance and renovations involve a certain measure of trepidation. Even after vetting contractors and establishing budgets, homeowners may worry that repairs will unearth problems that snowball into expensive fixes. Planning ahead for such projects and learning to recognize issues that tend to be costly can help homeowners weather any storms that may arise. â&#x20AC;˘ Foundation issues: A strong foundation is key to any home.

If there is a problem with the foundation, it can be unsafe to live in the house. The foundation repair company Foundation Experts advises that foundation fixes can range from $4,000 to upward of $100,000 depending on the scale of the job. Clogged gutters and water pooling around the foundation can contribute to damage, so water issues must be remedied first. â&#x20AC;˘ Roof damage: A roof is a key barrier between the indoors and outdoors. Roofs must remain in tip-top shape. The home improvement resource HomeAdvisor says that a roof repair or replacement can cost between $3,000 and $12,000. But homeowners also must budget

for the cost of removing the old roofing materials and fixing any damage to the interior of the

home. Inspecting the roof and making repairs as you go is key to avoiding a big headache.

Ice dams can pose a threat to your home Cold, snowy weather can present various issues for homeowners to contend with. One such problem, ice dams, can cause damage to walls, ceilings and other areas.

The University of Minnesota Extension says that an ice dam is a ridge of ice that forms at the edge of the roof and prevents melting snow from draining properly. A complex combination of heat loss from a home, snow cover and outside temperatures can lead the formation of ice dams. An ice dam will be fed by melting snow above it and cause a backup at the edge of the roof.

Dams can cause gutters to tear off and loosen shingles and may lead to water backing up and pouring into the home, advises This Old House. Ice dams also can contribute to soggy insulation, making the insulation lose

its protective R-value and becoming a magnet for mold and mildew.

Homeowners can do a number of things to temporarily prevent the formation of ice dams. Heated cables clipped to the roof â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s edge in a zigzag pattern can help prevent dams that lift shingles. Pushing snow off the roof can help. Laying an ice melt product in gutters to help melt the ice that forms also can prevent ice dams.

More permanent solutions involve keeping the entire roof the same temperature as the eaves by increasing ventilation, adding insulation and properly sealing air leaks that can warm the underside of the roof. This may involve calling in a professional contractor. Such an investment is well worth it, as it can prevent much more costly damage down the line.

â&#x20AC;˘ Siding replacement: Another costly project can be replacing the siding. Siding may need to be replaced if there is water/ wind damage or penetration from insects. Spot repairs may be relatively inexpensive. However, the home improvement resource Modernize says the average siding installation project can cost between $5,500 and $15,000 depending on the materials homeowners choose. â&#x20AC;˘ HVAC update: Keeping a home at a comfortable temperature is also a matter of safety. If a system gives out, homeowners may be scrambling for a solution. Yearly inspections and upkeep, which includes changing system filters regularly, can help identify potential problems. Neglect is one of the main contributors to the failure of heating and cooling equipment. Based on national averages, a wholehouse HVAC system can cost between $4,000 and $12,000.

These are some of the more costly repairs homeowners can expect. Keeping on top of the home will help mitigate damage and could extend the life of major home components.

Change Batteries and Test Smoke Detectors Winter is the perfect time to crank the heat, light a fire and make some soup on the stove â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but all these things also make this the peak season for home fires and carbon monoxide poisoning. Change the batteries in smoke and carbon monoxide detectors and test them to make sure they are working properly.

Dellroy considers fence ordinance, changing to fiscal officer from treasurer

By JACQUIE HUMPHREY

FPS Correspondent At the November meeting of the Dellroy Village Council, Solicitor Jenna Hokes read to Council a new ordinance that she had drafted, governing the construction of fences in the Village.

Hokes reported that she had done extensive research on Village laws governing fences, since Council had expressed an interest in adopting an ordinance for Dellroy, she read the draft to Council.

Village resident Anita Rutledge, who was present at the meeting, inquired how this ordinance would affect those with existing fences and Hokes advised that under the new Ordinance, they would be grandfathered in. Normal repairs may be done, but complete replacements would require adhering to the new ordinance. Hokes also advised that Council would be able to approve variations, should they be requested.

Council President Joe Mabie

asked how violations of this ordinance would be handled.

Hokes advised that violations would not be cited as a misdemeanor, but those in violation would be issued a letter to correct and then an injunction filed to appear in court.

In other discussion, Treasurer Candice Ruby reminded Council that her term in office expires March 31, 2020. Hokes advised that Council may appoint a treasurer, or has the authority to change the position, by ordinance, to that of fiscal officer.

Hokes explained that fiscal officer is a part-time, hired position, where the employee may live outside of the village limits.

Council discussed the advantages of the fiscal officer position. Hokes advised that with Ruby’s term expiring at the end of March, Council will need to make a decision in the near future so an Ordinance may be passed and the position advertised for, so that hiring can be done no later than the March meeting of Council.

In other action Council: - Approved 18 checks and three electronic payments totaling $9,755.21, and one pur-

chase order in the amount of $1,500.

- Heard fund balances as follows: $58,437 in the General Fund, $13,039.70 in the Street Fund, $2,717.58 in the State Highway Fund and $5,054.64 in the Fire Protection Fund.

- Heard receipts of the Community Hall reported at $850 and expenses of $447.17.

Board members heard a request from Tim Timberlake regarding the establishment of a clay target competition team.

Timberlake said they didn’t need any money from the school, the money to purchase targets would be done by the team, and team members provide their own skeet guns for use.

“We use sponsors, and two businesses are already on board and ready to help pay student expenses. Costs come from pigeon fees and students shoot about 50 a week. There are 25 birds in a round. The scores are entered by coaches. And there are tournaments where the students can compete,” said Timberlake.

Timberlake also said that every student must take and pass a safety certification class.

Sherrodsville makes plans for Brick Street repairs

By NANCY SCHAAR FPS Correspondent

Sherrodsville Village Council met in special session Monday, Nov. 4, to discuss road repairs for Brick Street and if approved, to approve a financial appropriation to cover the cost.

Council members have discussed for years what to do with Brick Street. The village owns a short portion of this street and they have previously said that no one lives in a home on the piece that is owned by the village.

The street is more commonly known as Dawn Road, which is the township name for the road.

The village has patched this street with various recommended remedies, none of which has

held. They have tried asphalt, chip and seal, concrete and gravel, with very little lasting repairs.

The problem is that on the Dawn Road portion there is heavy large truck traffic. And every repair breaks, cracks, or comes out of the many large holes on the street.

Residents on Dawn Road have complained for years and the village keeps telling them it doesn’t belong to the village. It is not the responsibility of the village, except for the small portion that is technically Brick Street.

Mayor Michele Higgenbotham announced Monday that Orange Township trustees are going to pave their part of Dawn Road. If the village was financially able they could “tag onto the project” and pave the village part.

Fiscal officer Valerie Gard-

ner was asked by the Mayor to provide a financial summary.

Gardner said the budget for this year had “wiggle room” of $37,000. Those funds have not been needed for any other project and only $14,000 is needed to pave Brick Street.

Gardner suggested that if they are moving forward with the project, they should appropriate $16,000 to cover any unexpected expenses with the project.

Higgenbotham advised council that this project is to pave, not chip and seal, Brick Street.

The project will be completed by the end of the year.

Council did agree to join in the paving project and approved appropriations of up to $16,000 to cover the cost.

Council will meet in regular session Monday, Nov. 18 at 7:30 p.m. in village hall.
