Griffeths to serve as grand marshals for Christmas parade A well known business couple will serve as Grand Marshals of Carrollton’s annual Christmas parade this Saturday, Nov. 24.

“The Heart of Christmas” is the theme of this year’s parade which will honor Jim and Betty Griffeth of Carrollton.

Sponsored by the Carrollton Rotary Club, the parade will form at noon on Third Street NE and will kick off at 1 p.m.

Judging categories will include: Best Walking Group, Best Business Float, Best Non-Profit Float, Best Antique Tractor, Best Fire Truck and Judges’ Choice.

Following the parade, Santa Claus will be available at the Gazebo in Public Square Park to meet youngsters and distribute treats.

The Griffeths launched their trucking firm, Griffeth and Son Trucking, Inc. in 1985, which has turned into a family operation.

Starting out with one truck hauling

coal, Jim worked at the County Highway Department during the day and ran loads of local coal in the afternoon.

In 1989, the Griffeths incorporated their business with four trucks, running from Carrollton to Dundee, MI, and four local trucks hauling ash for Anthony Mining.

In 1991, they moved to their present location at 1161 Roswell Rd. (SR 39 west) and opened The Rock Shop. At the same time their son, D.J., started working as a mechanic and then as a truck driver.

In 1996, Jim was elected Carroll County commissioner. A position he held until 2005.

When the coal hauling slowed down, the Griffeths started hauling for the oilfield companies. That is when their daughter, Jamie, started with the family business.

Today, the Griffeths still service Rosebud Mining and the oilfield companies with their 29 trucks and 32 employees.

The decision to consolidate the Carroll County Volunteer Fire Department and the Carrollton Village Fire Department began with a conversation months ago.

The consolidation was announced publicly Tuesday, Nov. 13, at the Carrollton Village Council meeting.

Carroll County Fire Chief Jack Swinehart and Carrollton Fire Chief Shane Thomas sat down Friday, Nov. 16, to talk about the transition at the village fire station.

Swinehart noted he has thought about consolidating the departments for the past couple years since the formation of the Sandy Creek (Minerva) and Great Trail (Malvern) joint fire districts.

He pointed out the national trend is to regionalize fire departments to provide better service to the community.

“It is in the best interest of the two departments and the community, as well,” he said.

“As far as the fiscal standpoint, it makes sense (to consolidate) since the departments are so close and would save the taxpayer’s money,” Thomas explained.

The Carrollton department is funded through a tax levy, while the county department receives a $32,000 grant from the county.

Thomas acknowledges the village will see an increase in costs for more paid volunteer firefighters, vehicle maintenance and workers’ compensation.

“On the upside, we are gaining more manpower, especially during the day,” Thomas said. “We will have a very strong department.”

The Carroll County department will bring 16 firefighters to the village station.

Swinehart agrees, “The benefits outweigh the risks.”

Swinehart and Thomas explained that unlike Minerva and Malvern’s situation where the merging departments each had their own coverage area, the county department has no specific coverage area and provides mutual aid to area departments.

Both men admit there will be more conversations in the future as officers from both departments hash out the details for the consolidation.

The Carroll County Fire Department will bring three engines, two utility vehicles and two tankers. That equipment will be moving to the Carroll-

Carroll County Fire Chief Jack Swinehart (left) and Carrollton Fire Chief Shane Thomas shake hands as the two departments continue to work toward a consolidation that would transition the county fire department’s staff and equipment into the village fire department.

VFD from PG. 1 ton fire station and the county’s station will be “retired” by the commissioners, Thomas said.

Swinehart and Thomas noted the items to be discussed include what equipment to keep and what can be gotten rid off.

The departments have five Jaws of Life between them.

Thomas believes the consolidation will decrease response time since the current protocol is to tone out the village, then county and then mutual aids.

The firefighters will begin working on the transition by training together on their equipment, allowing the firefighters to become familiar with the different equipment,

as well as the firefighters from the other department.

Thomas explained that the county firefighters must fill out an application and pass a drug test to be hired, but all the county firefighters will be accepted on the roster.

Swinehart noted the county firefighters are randomly drug tested so the requirements are not an issue.

Both acknowledge the departments have had some rivalry in the past, but neither believe it will be a factor now.

“It started over 50 years ago and no one here now remembers,” Swinehart said.

“Our firefighters are incred-

Council agrees to consolidation of village, county fire departments

By NANCY SCHAAR FPS Correspondent Carrollton Village Council unanimously agreed to join the village fire department with the Carroll County Fire Department during its meeting Nov. 13.

Carrollton Village Fire Department Chief Shane Thomas and Carroll County Fire Department Assistant Chief Scott Nichols addressed council and answered questions from several members regarding the merger.

The joining of the two departments has not been brought into a discussion during council meetings.

The county fire department will move its equipment and men into the village department at the safety building on Second Street.

“This seems awfully quick,” said council member Chris Barto. Mayor William Stoneman replied that there are two fire departments less than a mile apart. Stoneman said they have 17 men and it will make it bigger and better.

Barto questioned if the funding for the department from county commissioners comes with them.

Council member Chris Modranski replied that the commissioners do not fund the county fire department. But commissioners do present a grant of $32,000 to the county fire department each year.

The county owns the land and the building that housed the county fire department, but Thomas said the department owns all of the equipment and it will be coming with them to the village.

Stoneman and Thomas explained it was a win for every body and it is a win for the taxpayer. This adds 16 or so members to the village department, bringing its membership to 40 or 45 members.

The county department brings with them three engines, two tankers, two utility vehicles, and turn-out gear that is only two years old. Turn out gear needs replaced every ten years, according to Nichols. Thomas said county is bringing about $350,000 worth of apparatus to benefit the village.

Barto questioned changes that will be needed in the Policy and Procedure manual and Thomas said they have not done those updates in anticipation of this decision.

Council member Tom Parker asked if the department has room for the equipment.

Thomas said the Hazmat equipment will be moving out and that there would be room for the additional equipment in the village fire department station.

“We will have one very strong fire department. They bring a lot of knowledge and fire power,” said Thomas.

Modranski asked if county fire department’ mutual aid agreements also pass to the village

403 N. Reed Avenue, Malvern, Malvern, OH O

330-863-2553 AR-10582618

fire department.

Thomas said that the village will go on the mutual aid calls.

“We had about 70 calls a year.

We didn’t have contracts, but we had agreements with three townships,” said Nichols.

Thomas said that response time will become better because for daytime calls, when fewer firefighters are able to respond, the township gets toned first, then the county, then the village. Thomas said this would speed up the response times.

County’s Chief Jack Swinehart will become a captain in the village department. It was not sure when the merger will take place or when equipment and men would be joined together.

In other matters, council granted a $1,500 per year salary increase to both Police Chief Robert Ellington and Police Sergeant Geno Cook. The action was taken because patrolmen who work overtime are actually receiving high wages than Ellington or Cook. Pay increase for officers is also being discussed.

Council did approve the hiring of an additional full time police officer. Currently the village spends about $49,000 per year on overtime pay and wages for part time officers. A full time officer will cost the village about $10,000 more.

In other business council: - DISCUSSED briefly the idea of creating funds each year to buy more playground equipment and to help residents with sidewalk replacement costs.

The FPS office will be closed Thursday and Friday for the holiday.

Wishing family, friends and neighbors the best Thanksgiving!

ibly passionate about serving the community and preserving their legacy. This (consolidation) makes the most sense,” he said.

“I’m looking forward to this transition. It has not been easy,” he continued. “We are taking the necessary steps to preserve our legacy. It’s a good thing.”

“I admire what they have done (at the county). I served on the department for seven years. They have done a lot with a little funding,” Thomas said.

“Our guys are excited,” he said. “We are going to make something really good here.”

Carrollton Business Women honor Rohrer as Woman of the Year

By KIMBERLY LEWIS FPS Editor The Carrollton Business Women recognized animal activist Eileen Rohrer as its Woman of the Year Tuesday, Nov. 13, at Our Lady of Mercy Hall.

Last year’s Woman of the Year recipient Debbie Herrington presented Rohrer with the award.

“This person has given a tremendous amount of time, heart, and love to the many causes and underdogs she so deeply cares about. She is a shining example of dedication and selflessness.

She gives of her time and personal resources to benefit those in need,” Herrington said.

She called Rohrer a “go-getter who does not understand can’t, won’t no or never happen” and an advocate, volunteer, cheerleader, organizer, author (under the pen name Becky Conrad), and an avid gardener.

“My sources tell me she has traveled far and wide comforting, encouraging, and consoling victims of domestic violence and other victims of crime,” Herrington continued. Rohrer “has authored two books on the topic as well. I’m told she often shared her experiences privately, and the books were a means to share those widely, to inspire others.

Amazing what you can learn about someone when you start asking questions.”

She owned Eileen’s Professional Dog Grooming shop in Malvern for approximately 12 years and founded the Malvern Area Business & Professional Association. During this same time, she served as the investigator and president of the Carroll County Humane Society. She later owned and operated Reflections on the Square. After the store closed, she worked for Karin Taff as director of Women in Safe Homes for the Carroll County Victims’ Assistance Office. She also attained a medical transcription degree from Stark State College at the age of 55.

Herrington also learned Rohrer was once a bartender at the Little Forest Inn. To which, Rohrer noted, “I was a good bartender.”

Rohrer may be best known for her work in the Carroll County Animal Protection League for getting the construction of the no-kill shelter underway. To

date, nearly $600,000 has been spent to build this structure.

“My favorite quote in my experiences with Eileen, ‘Ask me what time it is, and I’ll tell you how the watch was made’,” Herrington recounted.

Rohrer thanked the Business Women for the recognition. She spoke about her books, which talked about her personal experiences as a victim of domestic violence with the second book continuing the story as a survivor. She also spoke at length about the CCAPL’s no-kill shelter and explained why the organization’s focus is education for people of all ages and safety for the animals, animal owners and volunteers. She noted fundraising continues for the shelter with Santa photos Dec. 14-16 at Tractor Supply Company. She was also very pleased the CCAPL members will have their first meeting at the shelter on state Route 43 on Thursday, Dec. 6, at 6:30 p.m.

Rohrer joins the ranks of 30 other women, including Elaine Painting, Rose Seck, Amy Rutledge, Tammy Sanderson, Janet Smith, Bridget Hepner and Debbie Herrington, who have received the honor.

Following the presentation, Painting gave the invocation.

Following dinner, the 2019 officers were installed. They are President Susan Williamson, Vice President Bridget Hepner, Secretary Tammy Sanderson and Treasurer Ellen Finnicum.

Carrollton French teacher and coordinator for Blessings in a Backpack program, Belinda Mach, thanked the members for their support. She listed some observations she has had about the CBW members. “If someone needs something, you are there,” she noted. “Sometimes people don’t need to ask you, you just offer to help.”

“When people do ask you, your generosity exeeds our expectations,” Mach said, citing the community’s support of Blessings in a Backpack. “You don’t do it for glory or for credit, you do it for the community. The effects have been far reaching,” she concluded.

Amy Rutledge advised members that the organization will soon begin selling sponsorships for Built By Pottsy poinsettas to be placed on the Square. More details will be announced soon.

Carrollton Exempted School District Superintendent Dr. David Quattrochi presented board members with the recently released District Profile for 2018–2019.

“This report is not just based on test scores. It contains general information about the district. This plan is an accountability report designed to give our community a transparent view of our district’s strengths and areas of need,” stated Quattrochi.

Quatrottchi said it shows the four goals of the district strategic plan which are student achievement/educator growth, partnerships, facilities and finance.

“Our vision is to learn from the past, prepare for the future and open doors to success in a 21st century facility. We will nurture the values of caring, respect, virtue, knowledge and skill building necessary to be lifelong learners,” continued Quattrochi.

Goal 1 – Student Achievement/Educator Growth

The district will continue to offer dual enrollment for students to earn high school and college credits at the same time.

Advanced placement classes are offered in Biology, Literature, American History, Government and Art. The STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) education uses these academic subjects and lets students discover the problem learning on real world situations.

Power Digital Academy (PDA) provides an alternative to brick and mortar classrooms and offers flexibility to students for taking online classes.

Goal 2 – School and Community Partnerships

The district partners with more than 60 different businesses and manufacturers to enable students to participate in mentorship and internship programs.

Goal 3 – Facilities

Construction of the new middle and high school complex is expected to be completed by the end of May of 2019. Students will begin the school year of 2019 – 2020 with not only a brand new building, but with up to date technology and plenty of space for new classrooms and all activities.

The new state of the art facility will include 166,000 square feet sitting on 165 acres. It will be air conditioned, contain two gymnasiums, contains a 1,520 seat Performing Arts Center, a centralized kitchen and two dining areas.

Goal 4 – Finances

The revenue sources for the district are a result of local real estate taxes at 46.8 percent, unrestricted state aid at 42.5 percent, federal aid at 4.5 percent and 5.4 percent from other resources.

The partnership between the school district, Carroll County Commissioners and Carroll County Energy created a 30 year, $39 million tax abatement. Funds from this abatement will be used to pay for the new grades 6 to 12 building.

Dellroy council approves pay raises

By JACQUIE HUMPHREY

FPS Correspondent DELLROY—Dellroy Village Council approved during its November meeting $1 per hour pay raises to its two part-time employees Gary Fedeli and Chuck James.

An executive session to discuss personnel was held prior to Council’s decision. Both employees are currently working part time and earning $10 per hour. This raise will go into effect on Jan. 1, 2019. Council voted unanimously in favor of the raises.

Ohio to implement a bold, new law to deter distracted driving

COLUMBUS – Effective Oct. 29, House Bill 95 becomes law and enacts a significant distracted driving deterrent and an effective tool for law enforcement to enforce dangerous driving. House Bill 95 establishes Ohio’s unique approach of combating distracted driving by enhancing existing moving violations. For example, law enforcement officers no longer will need to prove a driver is texting, but only that a moving violation has occurred and the driver was distracted at the time.

The law requires an enhanced financial penalty in addition to existing fines or alternatively the completion of a distracted driver course, for drivers who commit a specific traffic violation while distracted.

For example, a driver operating a vehicle outside marked lanes who is also engaging in a distracted behavior, will face an enhanced fine of up to $100 in addition to a fine for the lane violation. Other violations such

as red light, stop sign, speeding, and other moving violations similarly would result in potentially higher fines.

The Ohio Department of Public Safety was tasked with creating a distracted driver course for offenders who plead guilty or are convicted of a specific traffic violation while distracted. This course is available in lieu of paying the enhanced court fine of $100 or less, providing the offender pays the total amount of the fine established by the violation and submits written evidence of completion of the distracted driver course.

The one-hour course discusses what distracted driving is, who is a distracted driver, cell phone distractions, the risks and consequences of driving distracted, and combating distracted driving.

The distracted driver course will be available Oct. 29, 2018 and can be found on the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicle’s Driver Training website (https://www. drivertraining.ohio.gov).

June Bessie Tilmant, 91, died at her home in Kensington, OH, Nov. 16, 2018.

June was born Nov. 6, 1927, in Sparrows Point, MD, to Monroe and Bessie (Droneburg) Plott. She was the fifth of seven children.

The family moved to Minerva while June was still a child. June attended Cleveland Bible College and on Aug. 20, 1950, married Marcel George Tilmant of Charleroi, Belgium. Together they had six children. June stayed home to care for the children before working for Minerva Nursing Home and Copeland Oaks where she retired at the age of 80.

June has been a faithful member of Minerva First Church of the Nazarene. She loved her church and pastors dearly. June was known to load her car with neighboring kids so everyone got to Sunday School. She was always praying that her children would come to know Jesus as their Savior. Though she was small, she was a mighty prayer warrior. Her children and grandchildren always found comfort in the love and guidance June generously provided.

One of June’s favorite activities in the summer was to sit on her porch and watch the hummingbirds. She never let the feeders run dry. In winter, June sat in her dining room, watching the cardinals and goldfinches at the feeder. She loved flowers and her vegetable garden and picking strawberries for pies. Entertaining her children and grandchildren always gave June great joy. She loved nothing better than having all of the bedrooms filled with her kids and the living room covered in sleeping bags and grandchildren. June loved to cook Thanksgiving dinner and would stay up all night preparing for the big meal.

In December of 2011, June suffered a brain bleed and has been in the loving care of her oldest son, Tim. He has given her the love and attention she gave her children throughout the years. June has been cared for in her home where she always wanted to be.

June is survived by her husband, Marcel Tilmant; 3 sons, Timothy Tilmant of Kensington, Mark (Debbie) Tilmant of Mount Vernon, and Joel (Stefany) Tilmant of Mount Vernon; and 3 daughters, Susan Tilmant of College Grove, TN, Annette (Dave) Merki of Canton, MI, and Rebecca (Bob) Beer of Noblesville, IN. She is survived by a sister, Marlene Abrams of Canton; nineteen grandchildren and twenty-eight great grandchildren.

Finding Your Ancestors - Guest Column

By NANCY SCHAAR FPS Correspondent, Professional Genealogist & Historian Last month I suggested that the upcoming holidays are a wonderful time to ask older family members about the family history.

I suggested it was a great time to ask about how grandparents or parents might have met and fallen in love. I suggested it was also a great time to ask about war service or trips they might have taken together.

Often the holidays are the only time most family members get together. After the hellos, the hugs, questions about work and school, how long it took for you to drive there that day, or other activities, the conversation might run out.

The holidays are a great time to bring along old photos. Share with siblings or all the grandchildren. You might have photos from your school days, weddings, vacations or other events. Not only will it provide answers to questions about your family history, it will help move the conversation along.

It seems like most older people will have a box of old photos stuck somewhere in a closet or a drawer that are not identified. They know who they are, but when they are no longer with us, will you know who these people were? Will you know how they are related?

Besides providing a warm walk down memory lane for our older relatives, it will also extend your family history for your later years.

The photos will also trigger other memories, funny stories, and provide the grandchildren with a glimpse of how it was long ago. And will show them how very different childhood was for you or your grandparents.

For those that aren’t watching football games, maybe you’d like to bring along a game that you played with your siblings when you were a kid. Children today are entertaining themselves with electronic games that my generation never dreamed of.

We played board games, rhyming or matching games, jigsaw puzzles, paper dolls, Barbies, card games, and don’t forget the guitar and piano sing-alongs, and virtually nothing that plugged into anything.

Games and play time are so much different for children of this generation.

I know it’s true for my own family gatherings. The teenagers are constantly on their phones, and the parents are quite a bit too.

Unplug the electronic games. Silence the ringers on the phones.

Look at each other. Talk to each other. Make new memories to go with the old ones.

The older we get, the more we realize just how quickly time is passing. Suddenly you are the older generation. Share your life, share your memories, bring the family circle close once again.

As always, if you have any questions or need help with your family research or getting started, ask me.

Thank you to those who have called or emailed me with your stories and your questions. I am happy to try and help find answers for you.

Lest We Forget

By CAPT. CHARLES PEARSON U.S. Marine Corps, retired This past Veteran’s Day was the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I. The Armistice was signed on the 11th hour of the 11th month of 1918. We should never forget those who willingly risk their lives for world peace. It was their hope and desire that would be the war to end all wars.

One of the most highly decorated men of World War I was Sgt. Alvin York. Sgt. York received the Medal of Honor, along with many other decorations, but York’s most treasured honor was the following letter, written by Lieutenant Colonel Buxton to the girl whom York married as soon as he returned from the war: Dear Miss Gracie Williams: It has come to my attention that you are one of the people at home who, by virtue of friendship, is interested in Sergeant Alvin York, Company G, 328th Infantry.

Entirely without any suggestion on the part of my friend, Sgt. York, I should like to tell you and his mother something of very high esteem in which he is held by the officers and men of his division.

Until the 82nd Division entered the fight in the Argonne, it was my privilege to command the battalion of which Sgt. York’s company was a part. During those many trying days, Sgt. York grew daily in our esteem as a very efficient noncommissioned officer and as an unusual influence for duty and good conduct among his comrades.

Not only was his record maintained during those terrible battles in the Argonne, but on the 8th of October, 1918, Sgt. York performed acts of extreme heroism and presence of mind which won

him the Distinguished Service Cross and the personal thanks of Major General Duncan, Major General Summerall and General Pershing himself.

With a little detachment of men from G Company, he faced an entire German battalion in an isolated ravine, far from any American assistance. Nine Americans were at once shot down, but Sgt. York fought on until the German major and 131 German officers and men surrendered as prisoners. There were only seven Americans left besides Sgt. York, who had himself personally borne the heaviest brunt of the fighting. This achievement on his part came at a very critical time and unquestionably saved the lives of large numbers of his comrades, who would have later been attacked and captured by this captured German battalion.

It will be a great satisfaction to Mrs. York and yourself to know the respect which all of us feel for the manly Christian character displayed by this splendid American.

Sincerely yours Lieutenant Colonel Buxton Sgt. York truly believed that God would bring him home from war. Earlier in his diary, he wrote that he went to war trusting in God, asking Him to bring him home. Lt. Colonel Buxton wrote of the respect which they all felt for the manly Christian character displayed by Sgt. York. Honor is the instinctive respect we pay to the great and good. Sgt. York depicted his faith in his God and his country as many of our armed forces personnel still do. More than what people realize.

Please keep them all in your prayers, for all of you are in their prayers.

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

Letter to the Editor To the Editor:

It takes good people to make this world go around and it takes an army to help raise awareness and funds for a good cause. Without these people and businesses helping me during the month of October for Dysautonomia Awareness Month and raising funds for Dysautonomia International, the month would not have been a success.

Thank you to Ohio State Governor John R. Kasich, The Carroll County Commissioners, The Carroll County Messenger, The Free Press Standard, Normandy Inn, Built by Pottsy, Bob and Connie Mace and family, Pieces with Purpose, Ponderosa Steakhouse, Carrollton High School, Hair Etc., Hair Gallery, Atwood Beauty Dock, Shriver’s Pharma-

cy, Smith Piping, Brenda Leggett, Jaycee Flanagan-Hudson, Toady Haines, Danny Yost, Emily Shaffner, Cheryl Furbee-Cramer, Jack Leggett and my dear friend Lori Stoneman.

Lori took so much time away from her family to help me organize the fundraisers, be at each event and having the duty as the fundraiser’s treasurer. Her family has been on this journey with our family since day one. I could not have done any of this without her.

We raised $2,250 dollars for Dysautonomia International.

Again, a BIG thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, to each one of you who helped support this cause.

Lack of members leaves Leesville council without quorum

By JACQUIE HUMPHREY

FPS Correspondent No official November meeting was held for the Leesville Village Council on Nov. 12.

The Village of Leesville currently has only four of the six available Council seats filled. At the planned November meeting, only Council members Bruce and Carl Palmer were present.

Council President Kaitlin Bernhart had reported at the October meeting that she would be

absent in November, following a planned surgery. No information was available for the absence of Council member Erin Sterling.

Solicitor Jason Jackson advised that although half of current council members were present, no official meeting could take place without a minimum of 3 members. Fiscal Officer Sally Bernhart asked Jackson if a video conference with Council President Bernhart would be acceptable to make the quorum possible.

Jackson advised that although

video conferencing is addressed in the Ohio Revised Code, and permitted for some boards, it is not acceptable for village councils.

He further said that ordinary bills may be paid, but no additional expenditures could be authorized without an official meeting of council.

Mayor John Traxler unofficially reported he had a contract between the village and Atwood Regional Water and Sewer that was prepared for council’s approval, but that it could wait until the December meeting.

After a brief discussion among those present, it was decided to not reschedule the November meeting, and to hold off on any action until the regular Dec. 11 meeting.

The Village of Leesville currently has two open council seats.

Anyone wishing to serve in this capacity should attend a regular council meeting on the second Tuesday of each month.

The next regular meeting of the Leesville Village Council will be held on Tuesday, Dec. 11, at 7 p.m. in the Village Hall.

Utica Shale Academy awarded mini-grant The Utica Shale Academy has received a financial boost to help students improve proficiency with their math studies.

The energy-based community school, which is lodged at Southern Local High School with a satellite site at Columbiana High School, gained a $600 Best Practice Grant from the Jefferson County Educational Service Center to provide graphing calculators for an estimated 60 pupils.

USA Director Rich Wright said the learning tools will assist in updating to the most current technology and help students become more proficient with content. While current calculators only allow students to plot one point, the new version will help pupils develop a stronger understanding of graphing and plotting multiple points, creating an ideal visual for students

Free Press Standard | OPINION

and an ability to distinguish between graphs and functions.

This is the third grant award for the program and Wright said he was excited to receive the funding.

“The ESC has been great to us and it will greatly help the kids,” he said.

JCESC Superintendent Dr. Chuck Kokiko said the minigrants enabled educators to provide innovative and important tools to help students in the classroom.

“The JCESC is appreciative of our member school districts and enjoy giving back when the opportunity presents itself.

Much of our time is spent with school administration as well as providing teacher professional development and the minigrants are a way to have a direct impact on the classroom,” he said. “The JCESC Governing

Board is grateful to all of our applicants and the hard work teachers do each and every day.

We look forward to continuing the program next year.”

Now in its fourth year of operation, USA is available to students in grades 9-12 who live across Ohio and provides curricula required by the Ohio Department of Education. It currently offers a customizable digital curriculum allowing for acceleration or remediation along with flexible scheduling plus SafeLand, OSHA-10, First Aid and CPR, hydrogen sulfide (H2S) awareness and confined space certifications.

Academy graduates receive a high school diploma, certificates, and college credit options offered through Eastern Gateway Community College. The community school also partners with New Castle School

of Trades in East Liverpool to provide welding instruction to students.

JCESC has disbursed an estimated 200 Best Practice Grant funding over the past decade with the Utica Shale Academy receiving three awards since joining the Educational Service Center in 2015. This year, 21 applications were approved out of more than 50 submissions from Buckeye Local, Edison, Indian Creek, Harrison Hills, Southern Local, Steubenville, Toronto City Schools and the Utica Shale Academy.

Former teacher calls veterans the ‘defenders of dreams’

By KIMBERLY LEWIS FPS Editor

Submitted Photo

Southern Local High School art students created a large tear-away banner for Veteran’s Day that includes a design and names of 183 local vets and thank you notes for their bravery and service.

Each veteran received a square as a keepsake from the school’s Veteran’s Day ceremony Nov. 12.

Pictured with the banner are (from left) James Burris, Hannah Price, Paige Davis, Sasha Duffield, Ivy Winters, Tabby Young, Kaylee Howcroft, teacher Laurie Ronshak and A.J. Long.

Southern Local art students create banner for veterans A banner posted for Veteran’s Day activities Nov. 12 at Southern Local High School included a special message for those who bravely served our country.

Art teacher Laurie Ronshak said each of the 183 squares which comprise the banner include the names of local veterans who have attended festivities each year, but the cards also contain thank you notes on the back to share appreciation for their service.

Veterans had a chance to collect their special cards on Nov. 12 when the school held a veteran’s breakfast followed by a ceremony featuring patriotic words and music.

“We’ve collected a list for the last five years of veterans, and every year we keep adding to it,” she said. “We do a banner of over 170 names and they are all people who have attended the ceremony,” she said.

Each square also includes designs that form the basis of patriotic artwork including an eagle, American flag and the

Statue of Liberty, while the opposite side contains the thank you note. Ronshak said the tearaway banner allows the vets to have a keepsake from the event and she was inspired because veterans usually requested the squares from previous banners.

Nearly 80 art students worked on the project over a two-year period and hung the banner and other signs in the cafeteria

Former teacher and Navy veteran Tim Hunston asked Minerva Elementary students to think about their dreams and that, like them, the men and women who defend this country also have dreams.

During Minerva Elementary’s Veterans’ Day service Monday, Nov. 12, Hunston explained that veterans also had dreams of becoming business owners, teachers, engineers and more, but also defended our country against all threats, foreign and domestic.

“Their dreams are pretty much alike (to yours),” he noted. …

“You need to thank these veterans. Some dream to dream.

Some learn to dream. Thank God to all the defenders of our dreams.”

Having taught third through fifth grades, Hunston was able to talk to the students about the importance of these veterans’ service in a manner that the children could understand.

He spent 30 years in education serving as a teacher and acting principal. He has also served as a poll worker for the Carroll County Board of Elections for 18 years.

Hunston also noted that during his service, he learned to make friends with total strangers, who come from different

backgrounds and experiences.

“You learn to ask questions, listen and be patient with them,” he noted.

Principal Mark Scott listed most popular super heroes for the students, pointing out “veterans are the real heroes.” The service began with the posting of the colors by Boy Scout Troop 150.

Fifth-graders Jeremiah Booth and Danika Wagoner read a poem. “Taps” was performed by eighth-grader Makiah King.

The third-grade choir performed the national anthem, “The Star Spangled Banner.”

The fifth-grade choir sang “A Million Things,” “This is My Country” and “God Bless the USA.”

and gym.

“The kids have done a lot of work to this point. I’ve had nearly every class do squares and we gathered the names from [music teacher and event organizer] Emily Bowling.”

Ronshak added that blank squares were included on the banner but names would be added for first-time attendants at the ceremony.

Veterans honored by Bell-Herron students

By NANCY SCHAAR FPS Correspondent Eighth-grade students from Bell-Herron Middle School honored veterans Monday, Nov. 11, during a special assembly.

The eighth-grade choir sang the anthems for each branch of the military. A special section of chairs on the gymnasium floor was reserved for veterans. As each anthem was played, veterans who served in that branch of the military stood and students voiced their appreciation with applause.

Principal Albrecht welcomed those in attendance and said, “We are all eternally grateful for the complete sacrifices each soldier gave.” One chair remained empty for students to contemplate the full sacrifice that many soldiers gave.

“They paid a price few of us can imagine,” said Albrecht.

Eighth-grade student Alicia Lebbano read the poem “Flanders Field.”

Guest speaker veteran Tom Indorf began his remarks by welcoming the soldiers home from Vietnam.

Indorf said he decided when he was a junior at Carrollton High School he would serve.

He was a graduate in 1985. He said he was invited to a lovely island, Parris Island. That was where he received boot camp training.

“This day was first set to remember the end of World War I. Armistice Day. The end of the war came 100 years ago at the 11th hour on the 11th day.

President Woodrow Wilson set Armistice Day as Nov. 11. In 1954, Ike (President Dwight D. Eisenhower) recognized it as Veteran’s Day for all veterans to be honored,” said Indorf.

Indorf said he stopped at a yard sale in Minerva and found a World War I army helmet.

On the helmet the soldier had

Conotton Valley HS recognizes veterans

By NANCY SCHAAR FPS Correspondent

Conotton Valley High School students honored veterans from the community at a ceremony Friday, Nov. 9.

Veterans were served breakfast

in the cafeteria first and enjoyed a chance to visit with other veterans and former classmates.

At 9 a.m. veterans were honored by presentations from students. A slide show of veterans who graduated or lived in the area were shown. The veterans served in World War I, World War II, Korea, Vietnam, Af-

ghanistan, and Iraq.

The presentation in the gym was attended by all students, as well as veterans and their families and members of the community.

The students honored the soldiers who willingly sacrificed part of their lives to serve their county.

carved the battles in which he fought, which included the Argonne Forrest. The soldier was Martin Freptile of the 42nd Rainbow Division of New York.

Messages during that war were carried by men from one unit to another. Six soldiers were sent out with the same message in hopes that one man would make it to the other group of soldiers. Freptile was one of those men that didn’t make it.

He was killed trying to carry a message between battalions

during heavy artillery fire.

The words written in the diary of Freptile said: “America must win this war. Therefore I will work. I will save. I will sacrifice. I will endure. I will fight cheerfully. And I will do my utmost as if the issue of the whole struggle depended on me.”

Short videos of memories of former soldiers were shown.

Teacher Mr. Neeley presented a painting of a soldier with a flag while patriotic music was played.

Carrollton VFW honors Miller, McLoney for support

By KIMBERLY LEWIS FPS Editor

The Carrollton Veterans of Foreign War Post 3301 honored two long-time members and World War II veterans at its Veterans’ Day dinner Saturday, Nov. 10.

Serving as master of ceremonies, Quartermaster Jim Newbold acknowledged the service of Carl Miller and John McLoney to the nation, as well as the VFW post over the years. He noted Carl Miller joined the U.S. Army in 1943 and served at the

Battle of the Bulge. During his service, Miller was stationed in nine countries. John McLoney joined the U.S. Army in 1943 and served in the Pacific Theater, specifically the Phillipines.

Commander Jack Stephenson and First Vice Commander and Judge Advocate Ken Fisher presented Miller with a VFW trustee medal and McLoney with the VFW service medal.

Both received photo books highlighting their service with the VFW Honor Guard and thank-you notes.

Both Miller and McLoney served on the Honor Guard and attended many funerals of area veterans.

Newbold noted this year was the 100th anniversary of World War I and Veterans’ Day. “Few shoulder the burden of many and make the supreme sacrifice for our nation,” he noted.

He explained that when it looked like the VFW post would close, Miller and McLoney stood beside them like the vanguard, the leading part of an advancing military formation, to ensure the Carrollton VFW continued.

Chaplain Charles Pearson gave the invocation.

The VFW Auxiliary provided the dinner with the local Girl Scout Troop serving.

If you are thinking about your future, you may what to thinks about getting a job in construction. I have a little story I would like to share with you about one of the pipeline workers I saw a few weeks ago.

One morning on my way back from my bicycle ride, I viewed what I call a heartfelt moment. A man who holds the stop sign at a pipeline site was bent down talking to a little whitehaired lady.

Even with his yellow safety helmet on, I could see his face. He was closely listening to her every word. He was busy working, but he took the time to listen to her. I am sure he made her day. He would make any mother or father proud. Think about it, you might want to make a living in the

Bentley signs with Ohio State Track and Field program

Submitted photo

Pictured above: Carrollton senior Alivia Bentley (center) signs with Ohio State to continue her career with the Buckeyes in the track and field program. Pictured with her are her parents, Amy and Jason. Back row: Head girls track coach Lindsay Traver, former girls track coach Chris Woolf, boys track coach Mike Aukerman and shot/disc coach Greg Shadle.

Carrollton High School track and field stand out Alivia Bentley has signed with the Ohio State Buckeyes Track and Field program.

The Carrollton senior is the defending Division I girls shot put champion; she is the third Warrior in the last two seasons to win a track and field state championship.

“Choosing Ohio State was a fit that felt right,” Bentley said after signing with the Buckeyes. “After several visits of other big schools as well as small schools with many long nights of discussions with my family I have never felt the comfort that OSU has offered.”

Bentley, a stud shot and disc thrower, won the conference championship four times; six-time district placer, including four district championships.

She’s won regional championships twice and has qualified for the state tournament eight times in the two events.

Bentley holds the Carrollton record for shot put with a throw of 45’ 2” her sophomore season, beating the previous record by four inches.

Bentley is a four-time state runner-up and two-time outdoor national qualifier.

When she’s not breaking records in the ring, she’s excelling in the classroom. Bentley is a 10x scholar

athlete.

“I have always been very family oriented and with OSU, it offers me that sense of family,” Bentley said.

“With Ohio State I feel that this is my best choice not only as an athlete but as a student.”

The Carrollton senior thanked everyone who made this dream of hers a reality.

“Thank you to all of Carrollton for its support and the staff who made sure I had this opportunity,” she said. “My parents for the many sacrifices they have made.”

“Alivia has had a championship mentality from day one,” Bentley’s long-time head coach Mike Aukerman said. “She never misses a day to get better - she throws in December snow, works harder than anyone in the weight room and is as coachable as they come.”

Aukerman says that the Carrollton coaching staff is beyond words for Bentley signing with Ohio State.

“We couldn’t be happier for Alivia to continue her journey in Columbus as a Buckeye,” he said. “As the reigning and defending state champion, I know she has big plans for her last season as a Warrior.”

Bentley concluded with “I am blessed and honored to represent Carrollton at The Ohio State University.”

Minerva to celebrate Small Business Saturday Nov. 24 On Nov. 24, Minerva will celebrate Small Business Saturday, a day dedicated to the local businesses that create jobs, boost the economy and ensure that communities stay strong and vibrant.

Small Business Saturday was created by American Express in 2010 in response to small business owners’ most pressing need: more customers.

On that day, a wide variety of businesses throughout the village will be offering discounts, giveaways, door prizes, activities, and more. A map of all participating businesses, their hours, and special offers will be available at the businesses, and the first three customers at each location will receive a goody bag filled with information, coupons, and treats.

Participating businesses are: Medicine Center Pharmacy, Sphon’s CCW & Armory, Minerva Music Center, Hinton Primitives & Christmas Tree Farm, Loudon Motors Ford, Studio C Salon, McDonald’s, Simply Scarves . . . and Such,

Sandy Springs Brewing Company, Three Sons’ Hardware, Tropical Paradise Pet Store, Kohmann’s Motors & Mowers, Kishman’s IGA, Grinders Above & Beyond, Off the Beaten Path, Nevaeh Salon & Spa, Rae’s Jewelry, the Market Street Art Spot, C&E Surplus & More, Que Pasa Mexican Restaurant, Treasured Sensations, Salon Revive, and Lion’s Den Sport Shop.

Additionally, a pop-up shop will be located at the Roxy Theatre, 10 a.m.-5 p.m., featuring vendors and crafters, including Pawsome Bandanas, Dream Free Crafts, Olde Pine Spring Farm, Kathy’s Handcrafted Kreations, Scentsy, Usborne Books, Color Street Nails, and more.

Anyone visiting at least six of the participating businesses, getting his map stamped or signed, and returning it to the Minerva Chamber office by Nov. 30 will be entered into a drawing for a prize including gift certificates and items from McFeeder’s Tae Kwon

Newell to serve as Consumers’ Fairlawn relationship manager

Do, Sandy Springs Brewing Co., McDonald’s, Real Integrity Real Estate Services, the Market Street Art Spot, Studio C Salon, Que Pasa, the Hart Mansion Restaurant, and the Roxy Theatre.

Patronizing local shops and restaurants, as well as doing business with local financial institutions, farmers and home-based businesses benefits the community in many ways. A greater share of dollars spent in locally owned businesses stays in the local economy - as much as three times more than dollars spent in chain outlets.

Small businesses create local jobs, help to give Minerva its unique character, and build a sense of community. Minerva’s business owners play a huge role in the community’s quality of life, generously supporting schools, athletics, organizations, events, and those in need through fundraisers and donations. They often “do the right thing” even if it does not maximize profit.

Mercy receives an ‘A’ for patient safety

CANTON: Mercy Medical Center was awarded an ‘A’ from The Leapfrog Group’s Fall 2018 Hospital Safety Grade.

The designation recognizes Mercy Medical Center’s efforts in protecting patients from harm and meeting the highest safety standards in the United States.

The Leapfrog Group is a national organization committed to improving health-care quality and safety for consumers and purchasers. The Safety Grade assigns an A, B, C, D or F grade to hospitals across the country based on their performance in preventing medical errors, infections and other harms among patients in their care.

“At Mercy Medical Center, patient safety and quality are our top priorities,” says Paul Hiltz, FACHE, president and CEO of Mercy Medical Center. “We are proud to have earned an ‘A’ rating from The Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade, a gold stan-

dard measure of patient safety.

This means our patients can feel confident in Mercy’s efforts to keep them safe from preventable harm and medical errors.”

Leah Binder, president and CEO of The Leapfrog Group, says, “Leapfrog’s Hospital Safety Grades recognize hospitals like Mercy Medical Center that focus on advancing patient safety.

This ranking provides an important resource for patients, and a benchmark for hospitals, to determine how care at one hospital compares to others in a region. Hospitals that earn an A Hospital Safety Grade deserve to be recognized for their efforts in preventing medical harm and errors.”

Developed under the guidance of a National Expert Panel, the Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade uses 28 measures of publicly available hospital safety data to assign grades to more than 2,600 U.S. hospitals twice per year. The

Edison Local to receive nearly $10,000 in grants

Nearly $10,000 in grant funds are coming to Edison Local Schools for safety and learning opportunities.

During the Nov. 15 meeting at Edison High School, officials announced that the district gained an estimated $8,300 state safety training grant and tentative plans were to combine efforts with other districts to improve student behavior.

Supt. Bill Beattie said teachers at Edison schools were undergoing PAX training with the Jefferson County Prevention and Recovery Board. PAX is a universal intervention used by teachers and schools to teach self-regulation, self-management and self-control in young people and several sessions have already been held in a joint effort between the JCPRB and Jefferson County Educational Service Center.

Beattie said PAX training has been conducted for preschool and high school programs but the next one would focus on middle school students.

“There was $12 million in grant funds from the state of Ohio and every school district had an opportunity to receive funding,” he explained. “We received about $8,299 and think the school districts are going to put their funds together and provide PAX training for seventh- and eighth-grade teachers,’ Beattie added.

He said officials were still waiting to finalize plans for the training session.

In addition, three teachers each garnered $600 Best Practice grants from the Jefferson County Educational Service Center (JCESC) to bolster student success with innovative lessons. JCESC Coordinator Patty Ferrell presented the mini-grants to Jordan Tice, Miguel Brun and Jaye Taylor to enhance learning in the realm of math, literacy and foreign languages.

Tice will use her funding to teach 60 sixth-graders at Stan-

ton elementary about the benefits of solar power and they will construct a robot using kits purchased with the grant money.

“Students are excited to work on challenging, hands-on projects with their peers. This grant has allowed me to get students excited about school again,” she concluded. “Thank you to the Jefferson County ESC for giving teachers an opportunity to apply for this grant so they can supply classrooms with resources they normally may not have.”

Brun, an intervention specialist at Stanton and John Gregg elementary schools, is seeking to bolster literacy among through his project, “Simple View of Reading-Language Comprehension-Developing Morphemic Analysis.” The district has been part of the Ohio Early Literacy pilot program to strengthen word recognition and language comprehension among students in grades PreK3 and the idea is to use explicit instruction each day to achieve that goal.

“The teachers in the Edison Local School District in grades PreK-3 are implementing evidence-based literacy practices through the Early Literacy Pilot,” he said. “This grant will allow the teachers to implement evidence-based instruction strategies that will strengthen the language comprehension piece of the simple view of reading,” Brun added.

Additionally, Taylor plans to use grant funding for “Comprehensible Input Using the Somos Curriculum,” which intends to enhance foreign language instruction by using new strategies. The project will impact about 200 students in Spanish classes and plans are to build conversational abilities and help the pupils better retain their knowledge.

“It is a more natural approach to learning a language and involves a total curriculum overhaul since it’s not centered on

a textbook,” Taylor explained.

“I’ve already partially begun to implement it, but I hope to fully incorporate it into my curriculum as soon as I get the resources,” he said.

Additionally, officials said donations totaling $1,350 were accepted with $1,100 from DeNoon Lumber and Jeffrey and Christina Kemmer for the Paws Pantry and $250 from Rich Cernansky for the high school.

In other action, the board: --APPROVED supplemental contracts for Maggie Shaffer, Chris Somerville, Amanda Richardson, Kristy Potkrajac, Jordan Tice, Alicia Hartman, Julie Kireta and Kim Warren as Destination Imagination volunteers; Bill Koehnlein, elementary wrestling; Nick Howell, assistant baseball; Samantha Springer, junior high girls’ basketball; Bryce Coleman, assistant wrestling; Mark Smyth, freshman basketball; Michelle Durbin, volunteer winter cheerleading; Shane O’Brien, elementary football; Nate Moses, elementary basketball; JoAnn Stagani, junior high girls’ basketball; Zach Smith, assistant swimming; Casey Swearingen, junior high winter cheering; and Madison Brown, junior high varsity cheering; --APPROVED additions to the county substitute teacher list, including Alicia Long and short-term subs Allison Bertha, Mark Kovalcik and Greg Stagani; --APPROVED resignations from paraprofessional aide Gina Bengier and assistant wrestling coach Dakotah Goff, while Goff was later named to varsity wrestling; --GRANTED permission for a co-ed indoor track and field club at no cost to the district; --EXTENDED graduation options to the Classes of 2019, 2020 and 2021; --SET the next meeting for Dec. 20 at 7 p.m. at John Gregg Elementary school between Amsterdam and Bergholz.

Southern Local renews treasurer’s contract The Southern Local Board of Education took steps to renew its contract with District Treasurer Greg Sabbato during the Nov. 14 monthly session.

Board members first approved an amendment to the last year of his current pact and increased his salary to reflect similar wages around the region.

His salary will increase from $80,000 to $90,000 per year as of Aug. 1, but he will receive no further raises under his new five-year contract, which runs from 2020 to 2025.

“I think Mr. Sabbato does a great job. The board moved him up for the last of his contract and [his salary] was far below that,” said Superintendent Tom Cunningham. “We looked at salaries in Jefferson, Columbiana and Mahoning counties and thought this brought him up to par.”

In other money matters, Sabbato shared some good news about the potential to reduce the millage rate on the cur-

rent bond issue effective for the 2018 tax year. He said the district has the opportunity to lower it from 3.1 to 2.7 mills, noting a 40-base point decrease. A bond levy was used to pay off the loan for the school building project and was refinanced in 2007, but prudent financial maintenance has meant the district could pay it off even earlier.

“It was due to be paid off in 2025 but we hope to pay it off early before 2020,” Sabbato said. “It’s in good faith to the taxpayers and will mean even more savings. If the balance went up, the county auditor and treasurer could ask us to do it.”

In other action, the board: - Announced that three $600 Best Practice Grants were awarded by the Jefferson County Educational Service Center to teachers Tonyea Kellison, Eric Nejus and MaryLou Taylor for their learning projects; - Approved the first reading of

bylaws and policies that have not been updated or put in place for years; - Approved Alysha Zwick as a substitute custodian, secretary and parapro, Kathleen Venum as a teacher and Carla Zwick as a substitute bus driver; - Named Terry Vest as fulltime evening custodian; - Approved a one-year contract for Melissa DelBoccio as a tutor for Southern Local; - Approved a college visit for students at West Virginia University on Nov. 26; - Approved continuing contracts for Gloria Hamilton, Wendy Ketchum and Brenda Stewart, all cafeteria workers; - Approved one-year contracts for cafeteria employee Monica Plunkett and bus driver Dara Redfern; - Approved maternity leave for elementary schoolteacher Allison Warner; - Slated the next regular meeting for Dec. 12 at 5 p.m. with a holiday dinner to follow.

Teachers in the Edison Local School District received $600 Best Practice Grants from the Jefferson County Educational Service Center. Pictured are, from left, JCESC Coordinator Patty Ferrell with Jordan Tice, a sixth-grade teacher at Stanton Elementary, and Miguel Brun, an intervention specialist at Stanton and John Gregg Elementary. Not pictured is Jaye Taylor, foreign language teacher at Edison High School.

Edison teachers earn Best Practice Grants

Teachers in the Edison Local School District gained Best Practice Grant funds to perpetuate student success.

The Jefferson County Educational Service Center disbursed three $600 mini-grants to elementary educators Jordan Tice and Miguel Brun and Jaye Taylor at Edison High School to help enhance learning in the realm of math, literacy and foreign languages.

Tice will utilize her funding to teach sixth-graders at Stanton Elementary about the benefits of solar power with her project, “Solar Powered Engineering.”

About 60 math students will construct a robot using kits purchased with the grant money and the project is eyed for this spring.

“The goal of the project is to get students to make the connections from what is done in class to different career choices, like engineering,” she said.

Tice, a previous grant recipient, added that she was honored to be selected for a second time.

“Students are excited to work on challenging, hands-on projects with their peers. This grant has allowed me to get students excited about school again,” she concluded. “Thank you to the Jefferson County ESC for giving teachers an opportunity to apply for this grant so they can supply classrooms with resources they normally may not have.”

Brun, an intervention specialist at Stanton and John Gregg, is seeking to bolster literacy among students at Stanton and John Gregg Elementary Schools through his project, “Simple View of Reading-Language Comprehension-Developing Morphemic Analysis.” The district has been part of the Ohio Early Literacy pilot program to

strengthen word recognition and language comprehension among students in grades PreK3 and the idea is to use explicit instruction each day to achieve that goal.

“The proposed project will place an emphasis on explicit instruction in morphemic analysis,” he added. “It will impact all students in grades K-6 at both Stanton and John Gregg.

The goal is to develop morphemic analysis through the study of morphology,” he said.

“Morphemes are the smallest meaningful unit in a word and the proposed evidence-based strategies are designed to help students recognize base words and prefixes and suffixes along with Latin roots and Greek combining forms. These activities directly address the language comprehension aspect of Scarborough’s Reading Rope, a leading research tool utilized to drive evidence-based instructional practices.”

Brun was honored to receive the mini-grant and said it helps make innovative instructional practices possible.

“The teachers in the Edison Local School District in grades PreK-3 are implementing evidence-based literacy practices through the Early Literacy Pilot. This grant will allow the teachers to implement evidence-based instruction strategies that will strengthen the language comprehension piece of the simple view of reading.”

Additionally, Taylor plans to use grant funding for “Comprehensible Input Using the Somos Curriculum,” which intends to enhance foreign language instruction by using new strategies.

“It is a more natural approach to learning a language and involves a total curriculum over-

haul since it’s not centered on a textbook,” Taylor explained.

“I’ve already partially begun to implement it, but I hope to fully incorporate it into my curriculum as soon as I get the resources.”

The project will impact about 200 high schoolers, generally freshmen and sophomores in the Spanish class, and plans are to build conversational abilities in students and help them better retain their knowledge.

“I’m very excited to receive this grant and very thankful to be chosen for it. I can’t wait to start using these resources and improving my classes,” Taylor added.

JCESC Superintendent Dr. Chuck Kokiko congratulated the recipients and said the grant helps teachers put their innovative projects into practice.

“The JCESC is appreciative of our member school districts and enjoy giving back when the opportunity presents itself.

Much of our time is spent with school administration as well as providing teacher professional development and the minigrants are a way to have a direct impact on the classroom,” he said. “The JCESC Governing Board is grateful to all of our applicants and the hard work teachers do each and every day.

We look forward to continuing the program next year.”

JCESC has disbursed an estimated 200 Best Practice Grant funding over the past 11 years with Edison receiving 35 awards within that timeframe.

This year, 21 total applications were approved out of more than 50 submissions from Buckeye Local, Edison, Indian Creek, Harrison Hills, Southern Local, Steubenville, Toronto City Schools and the Utica Shale Academy.

Southern Local educators awarded Best Practice grants Three Southern Local School District educators have received grant funding to further student learning projects in their classrooms.

The Jefferson County Educational Service Center awarded three $600 Best Practice grants to first-timers Tonyea Kellison and Eric Nejus of Southern Local Elementary and previous recipient Marylou Taylor of Southern Local High School for projects centered on writing, special education and science.

Kellison will use her windfall to conduct a Young Author’s Conference and benefit about 420 students in grades K-6 at SLES. The event, which is set for April 16, will help students learn about the writing process and be inspired to read and write after attending a workshop by a noted children’s author.

“I am so honored to receive this grant,” Kellison said. “It gives our school an opportunity to do projects like this one that we would not be able to afford,” she added.

Kellison was inspired to do the project when second-grade teacher Holly Davis brought the idea to her attention.

Nejus plans to acquire standing double and single desks for the special education resource room at SLES, which may help intervention students struggling with ADHD. About 45 special education students in grades 4-6 will benefit from the furniture and Nejus said the goal is to help them expend extra energy so they can

focus.

“Recent research suggests that ADHD is linked to physical inactivity and that a sedentary lifestyle can aggravate ADHD symptoms. For children suffering from ADHD, moving and fidgeting is an important and natural way to relieve symptoms,” he explained.

“However, when seated there is no non-disruptive way for them to fidget. Standing desks allow children to move more, and many are even equipped with moving footrests that allow them to fidget while standing,” he said.

Nejus was pleased to receive the mini-grant and hopes to have the new desks by the end of December, and his goal is to provide 10 standing desks and two double desks in the resource room. With the average student sitting for roughly 4.5 hours each day, the standing desks will increase student concentration and allow eye contact with teachers, increasing overall engagement.

“Considering some of the great proposals I’ve seen from our school alone, I feel very honored for mine to have been selected. I would like to thank JCESC for their generosity, commitment and dedication to improving education,” Nejus added.

Meanwhile, Taylor will use her latest grant to create a physics bridge project that teaches students about stress, forces and pressure. The “Balsa Bridge Testing” project expects to impact more than 80 students in grades 9-12 from her physics and physical sci-

ence classes and she hopes to implement it around the third quarter of the school year.

“The goal of this equipment would be to give students a visual and practical experience with planning, construction and testing bridges while looking at various forces and stress points,” she noted.

Taylor, who received a minigrant two years ago, was excited about the latest disbursement for her project.

“I am very humbled and grateful for this grant and for the support for our students from JCESC,” she said.

JCESC Supt Dr. Chuck Kokiko congratulated the recipients and said the JCESC was pleased to assist teachers with their innovative approaches to education.

“The JCESC is appreciative of our member school districts and enjoy giving back when the opportunity presents itself. Much of our time is spent with school administration as well as providing teacher professional development and the mini-grants are a way to have a direct impact on the classroom,” he said. “The JCESC Governing Board is grateful to all of our applicants and the hard work teachers do each and every day.

We look forward to continuing the program next year,” Kokiko added.

JCESC has disbursed an estimated 200 Best Practice grants over the past 11 years with Southern Local receiving 12 awards since joining the ESC in 2015.

Resident’s lack of water soon to be resolved

By NANCY SCHAAR FPS Correspondent

The Carroll County Health Department finally has great news for resident Mary Passwaters. She should have a new well drilled and operational by the end of November.

The health department has been trying to force the company that drilled the well to drill a new well for Passwaters, but American Drilling of Stone Creek has not returned the county or the state’s phone calls, emails, or other messages.

Passwaters has been without water for almost one year.

Passwaters received a grant from Community Development Block Grant funds for a new well. That well was drilled by American Drilling and Plumbing of Stone Creek.

The well was inspected and approved by then Environmental Director Scott Lenigan of the county Health Department.

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

by American Drilling.

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

Legal requirements state that the first and second well must be at least 10 feet apart. Fol-

lowing an investigation, it was determined that the second well was only 29 ½ inches from the first well.

The County Health Department has filed paperwork to make the State place a hold on the $10,000 bond paid by American Drilling and Plumbing. The company would forfeit that $10,000 and it would be used to pay for a new well for Passwaters. American Drilling would not be permitted to drill any well anywhere until he repaid the $10,000 bond.

The State was able to finally make American Drilling aware of what had to be done. The Ohio Department of Health issued orders on Nov. 5 and ordered American Drilling to comply within 15 days. That means by Nov. 26, Passwaters should have water to use in her house once again, finally.

The only water Passwaters has had during these months has been water provided by a large storage tank in her yard.

American Drilling sent a crew to the residence to make repairs, but the owner did not show up.

The well was sealed and closed, but the faulty pump was left in the well.

Health Department Interim Health Commissioner Wendy Gotschall was very pleased with the progress finally being made to remedy the situation for Passwaters.

Inspections of sewer systems in the Amsterdam area have been completed and it was found that more than 95 percent of the systems are failing.

40 years of Thanksgiving reunions remembered

By NANCY SCHAAR FPS Correspondent

The Bryan family who live in the Summittville area have kept a family Thanksgiving tradition alive for 40 years.

This year on Thanksgiving the family will celebrate being together for the last 40 Thanksgivings.

Dave Sevek said he thought it was pretty special that the family has been able to keep this tradition for so many years. He said it takes a lot of dedication and determination from the family members to do this year after year.

The family history they share begins in 1926 when Eugene Bryan and Margaret Hambach were married in Canton. Dave said they met at a dance. He was a carpenter and also owned the family farm on Aurora Rd. in East Township.

With a little research on this family I found that on the 1940 census, Eugene and Margaret are found in East Twp. Their children at that time included Louis, Paul J., Anna May, Arthur, Edward B., Mary M., Martha G., and Dorothy J. Three more children were added. They were Lyla, Ruth, and Carl.

That made a total of eleven children for this special family.

Eugene is listed as a farmer on both the 1940 and the 1930 census in East Township.

Going back to Eugene’s parents, he is found as an 18 year old on the 1910 census. He is living with his parents Joseph and Mariah in East Township.

Eugene and his father are listed as farmers. Living with them are several more children. They are Steward, Edwin, Veronica, George, Blanch, and James.

Joseph gives his birthplace as

Ohio in 1861. His father is listed as having been born in Ohio while his mother was born in Ireland.

Mariah is found on the 1910 census in Canton living with her parents Jacob and Catherine Hambach. She is eight years old. Siblings listed are Clarence, Lavita, Leo, Robert and Lawrence.

Jacob lists he was born in Ohio in 1869. His father and his mother’s birthplaces are given as Ohio also. Catherine’s birthplace is given as Ohio in 1870.

Her father and mother were both born in Germany.

Eugene died in 1963 and Margaret died in 1978.

After the death of Margaret, the siblings were gathered after the funeral service at the church hall at St. John’s in Summitville.

The siblings were concerned about the large family drifting apart and losing touch with each other, according to Dave.

The following year in 1979 the family enjoyed Thanksgiving dinner together at St. John’s church and have been doing so every year since then.

“Not everyone comes every year, but everyone tries. It’s really important to stay together,” said Dave. They average about 75 people every year but one year had 112.

Each year family members are asked to bring a specific dish and a dessert.

Family starts arriving about 8:30 to decorate and start the food preparations. The potatoes and gravy are cooked at the church hall but almost all of the other dishes are cooked and brought to the party.

Three large turkeys are cooked every year as are five pounds of homemade noodles, 40 pounds of potatoes, three crockpots full of stuffing, two gallons of gravy, and don’t forget the corn, green

beans, and dozens of other side dishes.

One large table is reserved for all the pies and other desserts to share.

Art Bryan, son of Eugene and Margaret , raised the turkeys for a number of years. They were butchered and cooked for the dinner. For four or five years the turkeys were cooked on an outside barbecue spit instead of the oven roasting method.

When they barbequed they were cooked the day before Thanksgiving, carved up and placed in roasters for the big dinner. According to Dave, it was usually a pretty cold day to barbeque but quite a few of the family members would come over and they had a good time around the fire catching up and sharing memories.

Fresh buns were always made each year from a family recipe and that tradition continues as well.

Dave remembers as a kid how they all looked forward to that one special day when they played all day with lots of cousins. Cards were played, especially Euchre. Grandchildren were taught to play too. Those cousins still play Euchre every year at this get together.

The parents always took care of organizing the event and assigned the menu, but now the grandchildren take care of all that. Dave said the remaining aunts and uncles can sit back and just enjoy the day and not worry about the work. The grandchildren have it covered.

In recent years four brothers and four sisters have passed away, but those that remain, along with the 30 grandchildren and their spouses, and the more than 50 great grandchildren, plan to keep this special yearly family tradition for many years to come.

Dellroy fifth-grade music class presents special program The Dellroy fifth-grade music class has been preparing a very special project called, “Land of the Silver Birch.”

Music teacher Lorie Strader has been teaching the students to play pitched and unpitched percussion instruments. They have also learned to sing the melody and have incorporated their knowledge from their fourth-grade music class where they learned to play the recorder.

This approach to a music class is based on a theory by a German composer named Carl Orff.

The approach developed by Orff combines music, movement, drama and speech into active music experiences.

When students were asked what was their favorite part of this music class, the students all had similar responses. They enjoyed the movement, the music, making music themselves, and not having to sit at a desk.

Dellroy students are trying to complete three projects this year and will perform all three at SHOWOFF 2019 in May.

Carrollton Family Literacy Night draws huge crowd Family Literacy Night took place at the Bell Herron Middle School Gymnasium Tuesday, Nov. 6, 2018. The event was for students in grades preschool through five and their families.

A total of 340 people attended the event. Family Literacy Night featured Outback Ray and his

amazing animals, a free book for all students, fun and free learning themed stations.

All proceeds from the theme baskets that were raffled off and the popcorn and water that was sold will benefit the RIF program at our Elementary Schools.

John Gregg Elementary students attend Family Literacy Night The second annual Family Literacy Night held Nov. 1 at John Gregg elementary school between Amsterdam and Bergholz was a resounding success after drawing more than 120 students and parents for an evening of educational fun.

Organizers Angela Smith and Kathy Stewart, who are Title I teachers at the school, said it was their largest draw yet and families of students in grades K-3 enjoyed a camping-themed night together. Camp Read-ALot included a series of stations with games and activities that brought students and their families together.

“We had a sight-word cave where kids used flashlights, plus we had free food and S’mores,” said Smith. “There was a Roll and Read station where they used dice and a Read and Illustrate station, a rock-climb-

ing wall, firefly-themed poetry and crafts and a vowel fishing pond,” they added.

In addition, attendants had a chance to browse the school PTO’s Scholastic Book Fair and the organization also used accumulated points from last year’s book fair to purchase literature for each child. Organizers said the district also donated pencils and bookmarks and provided hot dogs and refreshments.

“It was all learning-based and intends to make reading fun,” added Stewart. “There were also backpacks full of games and books as door prizes, plus we had a storyteller reading to the kids.”

“We try to promote early literacy skills with family engagement and get kids excited about reading,” Smith interjected. She said the success of last year’s venture helped build interest in

the recent event and organizers hoped the momentum will continue to grow for future endeavors.

“I think the word spread last year. We had such positive feedback from that and the word spread,” she commented.

“We also did a lot of advertising with flyers and a one-call,” Stewart added. “We were also excited to see a few of the board members and superintendent show up.”

They thanked their fellow teachers and staff who donated their time for the event and the district and community for further support.

“We couldn’t have done it without the support of our staff, teachers, administrators and even the custodians. The John Gregg family came together in a collaborative effort,” Smith concluded.
