Joy

Christmas lights on the Square

Carroll County Municipal Court Judge Gary Willen graciously allowed the FPS to take a photo of the lights on Carrollton’s Public Square from his office in the courthouse. The FPS thanks Willen for giving our readers a bird’s eye view of the square. The park has been elaborately decorated by the Carrollton Business Women and is lighted each evening through the holidays.

Generosity

Community gives a helping hand to those in need in a variety of ways By NANCY SCHAAR FPS Correspondent Thanksgiving is here and Christmas is just a breath away. But there is still time for you to give those in your community a helping hand. There are several groups and organizations in our county that help those among us that need a helping hand. And you can help them, by donating, contributing, or volunteering. Loaves and Fishes Pastor Gordon Warner heads up the local food pantry known as Loaves and Fishes. Warner said that due to the holiday schedule, there will be three distribution days next month. Thanksgiving extras have already been given to families that need a little help. “The best thing anyone can give us is cash. We appreciate the donation of canned goods or other foods. But the ones donating those get one or maybe two cans for $1. Through our sources, we can purchase five items with that $1,” stated Warner. Items that are always needed and appreciated are non-perishables such as cereal, pasta’s, breakfast bars, Spaghettio’s, ravioli, macaroni and cheese and other similar food items. One area that is not focused on very often is the personal items needed by families. That would include things such as deodorant, toilet paper, razors, paper towels, cleaning supplies, laundry detergent and other such items. Those are appreciated at any time, according to Warner. Warner said the group works closely with the Salvation Army in meeting the needs of Carroll County families. If you wish to donate to Loaves and Fishes, you may send a check to P. O. Box 635, Carrollton, OH 44615 or contact Warner at 330-627-2917. Coats for Kids Coats for Kids is currently collecting coats, hats and gloves for all ages. Tom Turnipseed is the local program coordinator. Last year more than 500 coats were distributed to Carroll County children. More than 3,500 coats have been provided for children in the area in the last few years since its formation. “Ashton’s store is wonderful. They provide us with five or six cases of gloves every year. Consumers Bank, Michelle

more inside

Catlett and Missy Naylor handle the accounts and help so much. Drug Mart, both in Minerva and Carrollton, collect $1 donation for coats. All that money stays here. It buys coats here,” said Turnipseed. “We’ve done this for 10 years now. I wish we didn’t break records every year for how many we give away, but sadly it seems to go up each year. We let kids pick their coats on December 11 and 12 at the Catholic Church hall on Moody Avenue. The Carroll County Christmas gives out toys at the Villa that day and they send the kids on over to us,” continued Turnipseed. Turnipseed thanked his office staff too because the coats are stored upstairs at his office and they run up and down those stairs a lot. Work on the yearly project begins at the end of August when they start sending out fliers. “We really work hard on this three or four months a year, but when you see one kid get a new coat and grin and act like it’s Christmas morning, you are quickly reminded why you do this. It’s for the kids,” said Turnipseed. We never know what sizes we need so we try to have some of all sizes. We just received an order for 35 cases of coats. Last year at this time we had given out 60 coats already. This year we’ve given out 100 already,” stated Turnipseed. He wishes there wasn’t a need for a program like this, but he’s glad he gets to be a part of it. New or gently used coats are needed for newborns up to adult sizes. They can be dropped off at the Carroll County Sheriff’s lobby at any time or at the Allstate Insurance Office at 160 Second Street, Carrollton. Donations to purchase coats for children in need may be sent to Carroll County Coats for Kids. All donations made in this county are used for children in Carroll County. Backpack Food Program One of the most needed programs in the county is the backpack food program at Carrollton Schools. This CHS (Caring, Helping, Sharing) club helps with many projects in the district but providing food for children over the weekends is one program that is badly needed. The club meets after school on Thursdays and places items in a bag that is delivered to classrooms in the high school,

classified pg. 10

middle school, and elementary school. The teachers discreetly place the bag of food in the backpack of the students who need that extra help. A typical bag will contain a can of soup, applesauce, breakfast bars, donuts, beef sticks, goldfish crackers and similar items. They usually provide two breakfast items, two lunch items, two snacks and a juice box. The program lasts 36 weeks and parents must sign permission for the more than 270 students to participate. The program costs about $22,000 a year and a donation of $100 will provide a meal bag for a student for the whole year. Last year, the funding through the Ohio Department of Health was not renewed. The community heard of the loss of funding and stepped up and provided more than enough to fund the program for the entire school year 2018-2019. Anyone wishing to make a donation may send it to the Carrollton Board of Education at 205 Scio Road SW, Carrollton, OH 44615. Carrollton Schools Care Program A similar program in the school is the CARE program. Students provide supplies for students such as soap, razors, tooth brushes, toothpaste, deodorant and similar items. To donate items or send a cash donation, please contact the school. Sharing Bread The First Presbyterian Church located on 200 N. Lisbon Street in Carrollton offers a free supper twice a month for anyone who would like a good hot meal. The program is called Sharing Bread and this church has been providing meals for the community for many years. Rev. Tim Dyck said the meals are held the last two Monday evenings of each month. They begin serving at 4:30 p.m. until about 6 p.m. “We can always use volunteers to help serve or clean up. Or you can help with getting the supplies needed. We have several groups that sign up to help several times a year,” said Rev. Dyck. Dyck continued to say that girl scouts, boy scouts, civic organizations, youth groups and individuals have volunteered and all are welcome to help. Donations are greatly appreciated. Cash is always helpful. Anyone with any questions or in need of help, please call the church at 330-627-4330.

Christmas trees brighten Malvern Christmas trees in all the downtown planters, in the community park and by the Library, are now in place in the Village of Malvern. A crew of men from the American Legion Valley Post 375 transported and planted 49 small trees. Pictured here, left to right are Alan Artzner, George Sanders, Gregg Hellyer, Tony Smolinsky, Jim Halter, Kenny Geiger and John Chiurco. Chiurco and Artzner are also MCDF Trustees. Most trees are decorated thanks to Carol Brawley, Mary Lou Fischer, Trish Meiser, Beth Meiser, Susan Joyce, Karen Wackerly, and sponsors who chose to decorate their own trees. They will brighten Malvern through the new year. The large community tree was again donated by Jim Smith of Smith Evergreen Nursery in Magnolia. It will be decorated soon by Jake Shreffler’s and Tom Holmes’ families. Both Jake and Tom are MCDF Trustees. The Christmas Trees are a project brought to the Village by the Malvern Community Development Fund. The Board of Trustees thanks all the volunteers who work to accomplish this project.

Happy Thanksgiving! The FPS office will be closed Wednesday through Friday, Nov. 27-29, in observance of Thanksgiving. The office will re-open Monday, Dec. 2, at 8:30 a.m. News items may be dropped off at the office’s drop box or e-mailed to fps44615@yahoo.com.

Sikon shooting investigation continues By NANCY SCHAAR FPS Correspondent Carroll County Sheriff Dale Williams was able to answer a few questions regarding the events surrounding the shooting death of Robert Sikon last week. Sikon was a passenger in a vehicle driven by a female on State Route 171 at New Harrisburg Saturday shortly before noon. A deputy was on that road and just finishing up paperwork and details from an accident. He noticed the truck as it went by and recognized Sikon in the passenger seat. The deputy was aware Sikon had warrants out on him in several counties for crimes related to drugs, theft and non-support. He followed the truck on SR 171 and indicated for the truck to pull over. The driver pulled over and the deputy asked the passenger to put

his hands out of the window. Sikon complied, and the deputy removed Sikon from the vehicle. While trying to place handcuffs on Sikon, Sikon struggled with the deputy and ran. Although he was repeatedly told to stop or the deputy would fire his weapon, Sikon continued to run and was shot. The Bureau of Criminal Identification and Investigation was notified immediately and arrived on the scene about an hour later. Williams said BCI will have the lead in the investigation into the shooting incident. The 911 call made to the sheriff’s office on Saturday was released following a proper public records request from a media outlet. Williams said that was the entire 911 call. Those 60 words were: “911 Dispatch – 911. Do you need police, fire, or medical? Male Caller – Hey, no, no, no. The sheriff told me to call 911. He needs some help.

He’s out here across from the old country store here in New Harrisburg. He’s got a guy on him. Ok. I think someone’s got him in a corner here. 911 Dispatch – Ok, ok. Hang on……” Williams arrived on the scene shortly thereafter along with additional Carroll County Deputies. Carrollton Village Police officers responded to assist with traffic control at the scene. An autopsy was performed by the Stark County Coroner’s office and results will not be released for several weeks. The coroner’s office said on Monday the cause of death has not been determined or released at this time. The office representative said that full testing has been ordered, including toxicology, histology and more. No further information will be released from the county sheriff’s department at this time, according to Williams. The deputy has been placed on administrative leave from the sheriff’s department.

Sherrodsville Council blessed with good news By NANCY SCHAAR FPS Correspondent Sherrodsville village council had a happy meeting Monday night. The good news just kept coming and at one point Mayor Michele Higgenbotham couldn’t contain her big smile any longer and let out one very good, WhoooHoooo!!! Council has struggled during the last year or two and meeting goals just didn’t seem to happen. With Higgenbotham as mayor the council for the first time in over two years has all six seats filled. Higgenbotham and Fiscal Officer Valerie Gardner have worked very hard to organize and get council moving and good things have been happening. The establishment of various committees who meet monthly seems to enhance the council’s work efforts. At the beginning of the meeting, Higgenbotham opened bids for several parcels of land in the village that are for sale.

Don and Terry Beckley of Sherrodsville bid $5,501 for a lot on Gail Drive where the old village garage is located. Bill Machamer of Sherrodsville bid $36,500 and council voted to accept Machamer’s bid for the property. The village will remove village property still in the old garage as soon as possible. Don Beckley also bid on lots 38, 39 and 40 in the village. He was the lone bidder at $1,501. Council did agree to accept his bid for those lots in town. Council has been waiting for a written proposal from Joel Decker and his company Regional Transit. Representatives of Regional began asking in January for the village to give his company the two ambulances, all equipment, all supplies, and the fire department building, the State building, and the EMS building in exchange for not charging residents for emergency care. Various representatives have been to council meetings several times this year, stating they wanted all these materials but nothing was ever presented in writing.

Decker, who lives out of state, finally appeared at a meeting in August with council. Once again, he said the same thing, he wanted whatever the village was willing to give him. He was once again told by legal counsel J. J. Ong that he needed to present this request in writing to the village. The village has not heard from him since then. No representatives of the company have responded to the mayor or council since then either. The village has repeatedly for months tried by phone calls, texts, and email messages to reach Decker and have not had one response from him. The village safety committee did meet and agreed to give Regional the old ambulance, as is. There is a large closet full of equipment, bandages and other medical paraphernalia that will expire soon, if it has not done so already. The committee also recommended giving the materials in the closet to Decker. The committee stated that giving the old squad and the closet

Commissioners receive updates on jail renovation project, bridge replacements By NANCY SCHAAR FPS Correspondent Carroll County Commissioner Jeff Ohler provided an update on the jail renovation project. Funds for the replacement of plumbing in the jail has been on the “need to do” list for some time but funds have not been available. Ohler was able to secure funding for the project and it is set to move forward in the next couple of months. Completing of the project is estimated to take three months. One item that was not included in the estimated repair costs was the cost to house prisoners in another county jail while areas of Carroll County’s jail will not be usable. Ohler has spoken with Col. Jennifer Ferguson of the sheriff’s department and said that overtime pay will be needed for deputies to transport the inmates to out of county facilities. “This is the first renovation of the jail. It has served us well,” said

Commissioner Bob Wirkner. Ohler will keep the board informed as to projected costs as soon as they are known. County Engineer Brian Wise had great news for commissioners regarding the bridge load ratings in the county. Wise said in the seven years he has been engineer, the county had nine bridges that had posted load ratings. “We have replaced all nine of those bridges. 75 to 80 percent has been done in house. I can’t say enough about all the guys. They have worked hard and are just the best,” said Wise. The bridge work was completed this month. Wise said his happiness at reaching this milestone was short lived because he recently received notice from the state that three bridges will have to be rated with load limits. The change is because of the six or seven axle trucks that are being used in the county. Bridges are located in Harrison, Lee, and Orange townships. Emergency Management Agency Director Tom Cottis

received approval to sign and submit a grant request for the Emergency Management Performance Grant in the amount of $41,989. These funds can be used for reimbursement for wages and benefits. In other business commissioners: - APPROVED a small reduction and a small increase in materials needed by NR Lee Restoration for the courthouse tower project. The adjusted total is now $696,723. - RECEIVED a public road petition from Keith and Judith Burgett for a portion of Monroe Alley and an unnamed alley in Leavittsville. A public viewing and public hearing will be held regarding the issue. - APPROVED a lease with Huntington Bank for two Chevy Tahoes for the sheriff’s department. - TABLED until Monday, Nov. 25, the only bid received for a septic system project through the 2018 Water Pollution Control Loan Fund. The bid was $15,300 from Jon Stewart Excavating.

Malvern Council hears requests for Legion Christmas projects By NANCY SCHAAR FPS Correspondent

Dick Ferguson addressed Malvern Village Council regarding Christmas projects from the American Legion and veterans. Ferguson said toys are being collected for children in the village and that items are being collected for veterans in the village. The group has joined with the fire department and will be providing six bicycles to children in the village. If anyone knows of a family that could use a little help, Ferguson asked that they contact him with names, sizes and items they might want for Christmas. On December 11, Santa will be at the American Legion to hand out the gifts. Items for veterans are needed by December 15.

Gifts do not have to be wrapped, according to Ferguson. Council approved Vince Slabaugh to another three year term on the Ambulance Board. His term will start January 1, 2020 through December 30, 2023. In other business council: - CONDUCTED interviews for the full time service position in the village. No decision has been made yet. - APPROVED the third reading of a resolution that permits the mayor to purchase $50 gift cards for Thanksgiving and Christmas for full time employees of the village. - GAVE second reading of an ordinance that will give a pay raise to one park department employee and one water department employee. - HEARD the Records Commission has met and will submit

a list of records to be destroyed to the Ohio Historical Society. Records may not be destroyed without approval from OHS. - LEARNED the salt bin is full but winter salt has been ordered and will be delivered after the village has used some of the current stock.

Obituaries Robert ‘Bob’ Eugene Miller Robert (Bob) Eugene Miller, 76, of Carrollton, passed away Friday morning, Nov. 22, 2019 in his home. The son of the late Glenn Miller and Lucille Rutledge Bake, he was born Oct. 1, 1943 in Carrollton, OH. He served four years with distinction in the U.S. Navy stationed in San Diego. Bob, a kind, generous and loving man, was a dedicated husband, father, family man and friend. He was the rock you wanted in a crisis, bringing his sense of humor, sharp wit, level-head, and infinitely positive attitude to any situation. He was always the first to lend a helping hand whether it was for his family, a friend or even a stranger. Bob loved a challenge and was not one to give up, regardless of the circumstance. Bob loved his animals, so much so, he never turned away the many strays his wife, Pamela, brought home. An avid outdoorsman, he enjoyed golfing, hunting, fishing and just working his property. Another of his favorite pastimes was bowling and mornings always began with a crossword puzzle. He is survived by his wife, Pamela, whom he married Feb. 22, 1977; children, Kimberly (Mike) Kamerer, Troy Miller, Erika (Dan) Dauk and Aaron Postlethwaite; a brother, Samuel Bake; two sisters, Sue McFerren and Judy Lowdermilk; grandchildren, Tyler, Travis, Roman, Lauren, Andrew, Mason, Kylie, and Savanah; and his beloved dogs, Deacon and Quill. Visitation was Tuesday, Nov. 26, 2019 from 2-4 p.m. at Dodds Funeral Home in Carrollton. The memorial service followed at 4 p.m. with Reverend Dr. Lee Martin from Christ the King Angelican Church in Columbiana officiating. In lieu of flowers the family wishes donations be made in Bob’s name to the Carroll County Animal Protection League, P.O. Box 353, Carrollton, OH 44615.

Recount planned for Magnolia mayor’s race The Mayor’s race in Magnolia is still in limbo. A recount of votes cast for the candidates for Mayor of Magnolia at the Nov. 2 general election is scheduled for Monday, Dec. 2 at 9 a.m. at the Carroll County Board of Elections due to state law. According to Board of Election officials, a recount is automatic if the vote total is less than ½ of 1

percent of votes cast. Since the votes cast for Travis Boyd and Grant Downes were 25 and 27, respectively, in Carroll County, the recount is required. However, due to a tie vote of 127 for each in Carroll and Stark Counties, a flip of the coin was held last week at the Stark County Board of Elections where Boyd was declared the winner.

Health commission gives healthy financial report to board By NANCY SCHAAR FPS Correspondent

Carroll County Health Commissioner Dr. Wendy Gotschall presented a thorough financial report for the county health department. At last month’s meeting, Gotschall proposed raises for many employees and board member Sean Speedy objected that the matter was not brought to the finance committee or the personnel committee before being presented to the board for a vote. Gotschall had no issue with both committees reviewing the proposal and having their say in the matter. The vote and more discussion were tabled until this month. Several township trustees were in attendance at the monthly meeting at the invitation of Gotschall. Speedy had said at the previous meeting that just over a year ago, the board did not know if the health department would even continue to exist due to financial strains and lack of funds. Gotschall was brought in as Interim Commissioner after the resignation of the former health commissioner and fiscal officer. The department had experienced many problems during those final months. The department has had 22

staff turnovers in the last five years which is a 68% turnover rate, according to Gotschall. One of the main reasons for those leaving is for higher wages in nearby counties. Gotschall has been able to bring considerable financial savings to the department in the last year by not filling several positions as people left. One large savings was in Gotschall herself. Previously the health commissioner was full time and received $71,393 per year. Gotschall is only a part time worker and receives about $11,000 per year, which is a savings of over $60,000. The fiscal officer position was a full time position with pay of over $51,000 a year. That position was absorbed into the duties of employee Amy Campbell. Campbell also assumed the duties of office manager and has been the lead for the department to achieve state accreditation. A wage comparison was given showing the lowest, the highest, and the current rates for positions in the department. The hourly rate difference in some cases is several dollars per hour. The figures Gotschall provided showed that with no pay increase in 2020 the proposed budget expenses are $624,767. For a three percent raise across the board, the expenses would be $637,108. With the wage increase suggested by Gotschall, the expenses would

be $675,339. The money saved from not filling open positions for full time health commissioner, fiscal officer, tobacco supervisor, PHEP coordinator, 2 health educators, director of community health, and more would be $389,237. “Our income is up and our expenses are down. We are increasing in nursing and vital statistics. And the billing company the department had was getting 7% of all of our billing on the nurses side,” said Gotschall. But the department has hired a full time assistant for the nursing department and she has learned how to do the billing in house. So the contract with the billing company will soon expire and that money will be coming back to the health department, according to Gotschall. Gotschall continued to explain how other employees have taken on the duties of employees that have left or retired. “Before, only one person knew how to do one thing. I believe in cross training. We are not cutting services but will be offering more. I care about these people and I care about our county. I don’t want to see our department combined into other (health) departments,” stated Gotschall. When a vote was called for the raises proposed by Gotschall, board members Tom White, Wendy Wiley and Dr. W. Scott Stine voted yes. Member Sean Speedy voted against the in-

crease stating it just wasn’t the right time for it. Member Sue McMillen was absent. Raises approved per hour were as follows: Office Administrator Amy Campbell $23 to $26, Director of Nursing & Population Health Kelly Engelhart $27 to $28, Director of Environmental Health Courtney Grossman $24 to $24.50, Public Health Nurse Julie Halfhill $18.73 to $21.50, Nursing Administrator Assistant Kristen Long $10 to $12, Registered Sanitarian Tina Marini $17.25 to $21, Community Health Educator Caitlin Mathews $16 to $19, Administrative Assistant & Registrar Corinne Ren $14.75 to $16.75, Public Health Nurse Jessica Slater $18.18 to $21 and Public Health Nurse Barb Warner $19.64 to $22. In other business the board: -LEARNED the staff is working with the Ohio EPA to monitor three residential wells that have tested positive for e-coli. - HEARD that the nursing department averages 115 clients per month now. - PROVIDED 392 immunizations last month. - APPROVED a monthly cost of $269 with ServerSIM to provide server backup services. - HIRED Nejla Shaheen as a consultant as a licensed sanitarian in training through February 28,2020. She will be assisting with food service program at a rate of $20 per hour.

Local Toys for Tots plans distribution thanks to area energy partners Ohio’s oil and gas industry is partnering with Toys for Tots in six counties in southeast Ohio to collect toys for distribution to those in need in early December. This program, with roots dating back to 1947, has helped countless families over the years. This year, as in past, the industry has joined in to help. Those who wish to sign up need to register online at www. toysfortots.org, click on the “Request a Toy” section at the top and follow the prompts. Forms must be submitted by Monday, Dec. 2, to be included in the program this year. For any other questions please contact Deb Oberlin at ohtoysfortots@gmail.com or 330-418-

2330. Please visit the Ohio Toys for Tots Facebook page if you have submitted a toy request but have not been contacted to confirm your pick up day, time and location. “While Christmas is the best day of the year for some of us, unfortunately for far too many it is not, and it reminds them that perhaps they don’t have anyone to spend the day with or find it hard to deliver on a promise to their children for that special toy,” said Mike Chadsey, deputy coordinator for Toys for Tots and spokesman for the Ohio Oil & Gas Association. ”That is what makes this effort so special for those of us who work in this great industry, because we believe to whom much is given,

much is expected. Not only is this our pleasure, but we believe it’s also our responsibility.” “I have enjoyed partnering with Ohio’s oil and gas industry these last six years because these companies and their people have giving hearts and have been an equal partner with the Foundation and we could not do what we do without them,” said Toys for Tots Coordinator Deb Oberlin Here is a list of the counties, with distribution dates along with their hosts for the 2019 program.

COUNCIL from PG. 3 of medical items will be in exchange for five years of free service to all village residents. They will attempt to contact Decker. Since closing Community Fire and Rescue and the EMS department in the village, council has given away or sold items as they were permitted to by law. A grant was received for the purchase of an Extractor Washer. Council had to give it to another government entity that could use it per the terms of the grant from BWC. Dellroy fire department was contacted and immediately came to the council meeting that night and Dellroy fire fighters were very happy to accept the piece of equipment from the village for their department. The new squad that was purchased through a grant will be offered to Fairfield Fire Depart-

ment by the recommendation of the safety committee. “If we’ve ever needed them, they’ve been here to back us up and help us out. If we need them, they can cover,” said council member Mike Booth. Proper procedures and needed paperwork for the transfer will be prepared and the village will contact Fairfield Township Fire Department members. Council members very gratefully accepted a donation of $20,000 to be used by the village for park and playground equipment. The Carroll County Coon hunters association has disbanded and sold their property. The remaining five members divided the funds and each member was able to choose how those funds should be distributed for various community needs.

Former member Bill Booth, Sr. chose Sherrodsville village parks and playgrounds as the recipient of his share of the funds. At this point, Higgenbotham happily declared, “ Whooo Hoooo. We Have a park fund. Finally!” In other business council: - APPROVED payment of the village share of a $93,000 grant from FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) to rebuild the hill and road of City View Drive. Due to flooding and mudslides during a storm this summer, the road has been closed on that end because it is unsafe. The village agreed to pay their match for the grant in the amount of $23,384. The project should begin in the spring. - WILL hold a work day on December 1 beginning at 8 a.m. to assist with installing Christ-

mas decorations and cleaning out the old village garage. - ADVISED that extra plowing and salting will be done on City View since residents now only have one way in and out of the street. - APPROVED the purchase of more salt at a cost of $279 per pallet. - AGREED to have a few trees trimmed and/or removed on village property at a cost not to exceed $1,500. - LEARNED that anticipated revenues for 2019 by Gardner were very close but $300 more will be needed for electric costs, which was approved. - HEARD Gardner report that the anticipated income tax funds were to be $24,000.

Lest We Forget By CAPT. CHARLES PEARSON

U.S. Marine Corps, ret. During the bitter cold winter of 1950 in Korea, as the U. N. was making what they thought was their final push northward to end the war, the 5th Marines attacked to the west from Yudam-ni, went one mile and were stopped. General Sung Shih-un came out of the mountains with eight Chinese Divisions in a carefully planned attack with the intent of destroying the 1st Marine Division. Three Chinese Divisions struck at the 5th and 7th Marines at Yudam-ni. Other elements cut off the MSR (Main Supply Route) to Hagaru-ri and struck at Captain Barber’s Fox Company holding Tokton Pass. Another Chinese Division struck Hagaru-ri which was defended by part of the 3rd Battalion, 1st Marines two batteries of 105’s and odds and ends of service and combat support troops. The road to Koto-ri was cut off and Koto-ri was attacked by another Chinese Division. The situation at Hagaru-ri was the most unstable. The high ground overlooking the town and the exit to Koto-ri had been lost. The unfinished airstrip had been penetrated. The defensive lines around the airstrip were quickly restored, but the runway continued to be swept by enemy fire from the high grounds overlooking the town. On the 28th of November, General O. P. Smith flew in to Hagaru-ri and opened his command post there. He ordered the 5th Marines at Yudam-ni to hold, and the 7th Marines to reverse direction and attack southward to clear the MSR from Yudam-ni to Hagaru-ri. By the 29th, the 5th and 7th Marines made it back to Hagaru-ri. At the same time the remnants of three Army battalions, including those of Medal of Honor winner Lt. Col. Faith, came stumbling in. The few that were in fit condition to fight were attached to the Ma-

rines. Hagaru-ri had to be held until the Division could be reconstituted. On Nov. 30th, they received word from X Corps headquarters that the situation had changed radically for the worse all across the front. They were to pull back to Hungnam. Smith was determined to bring the Division out as a unit, including all of their equipment, vehicles, wounded and dead. A British element, which was attached to the Marines thought it rather gruesome marching alongside the truck carrying the dead. One British Marine said that he was thankful for what the bitter cold did to those bodies, but not the effect it had on their own. By December 6th, the Division was reconstituted at Hagaru-ri and began their break out. Before abandoning the airfield and destroying it, they flew out 5,400 wounded. Rifle companies then leap frogged from one critical terrain to the next, while the Navy and Marine pilots furnished close air support. The last elements from Hagaru-ri completed the eleven mile battle entering Koto-ri by midnight on the 7th of December. There were tearful reunions and hugs as they looked for their buddies. More Army units joined them at Koto-ri and all along the way. On the morning of the 8th they resumed their march (battle) to the sea. There was no power on earth that could have kept the Marines and Army from coming out. By the morning of December 12th, they pulled into the port of Hungnam, where the U. S. Navy was conducting a masterful evacuation. Let us not forget the extreme privations endured by service men and women during that bitter cold winter, and the sufferings endured by all in all our wars. Please continue to pray for those still facing hardships to preserve freedom throughout the world. Charles Pearson is the chaplain for the Malvern Legion Post 375 and Carrollton VFW Post 3301.

Warrior Beat By DR. DAVID QUATTROCHI

Carrollton Schools Superintendent The Carrollton Exempted Village School District received $1.3 million as part of the Ohio Department of Education’s Each Child, Our Future, strategic plan. The state’s biennial budget included a significant investment to support student wellness and success in schools, enabling schools to provide additional mental health services, wraparound services, mentoring, after-school programs and more. Carrollton Schools are using the funds for three new initiatives: the STARS Academy after-school program, the Warrior Alternative Academy, and a School-Based Health and Wellness Clinic. STARS Academy The STARS Academy (Support, Tutoring And Resource Services) is a free after-school program serving 100 Carrollton Elementary students, approximately 20 from each grade 1-5. Parents signed up for the firstcome, first-served program at the beginning of the school year. The pilot program will run Monday through Thursday from Oct. 21 – April 30 from 3:30-5:30 p.m. (except holidays). The STARS Academy program is socially and academically driven, utilizing partnerships with the Carroll County District Library and Community Mental Health services. The goal of the program is to provide enrichment opportunities for academic and social growth, character education, and wellness while building a strong foundation of reading and mathematics skills. Students receive a healthy

snack, homework help and individualized tutoring alongside other structured, fun and educational activities. In the evening, students are transported to various cluster bus stops in the district for easy parent pickup. The success of the program will be evaluated in the Spring. Based on results, the district hopes to secure additional funding to expand and continue the program in the future. Warrior Alternative Academy The Warrior Alternative Academy is a new pilot program housed in the Power Digital Academy building aimed at redirecting students who otherwise would be suspended at home for discipline issues. Along with traditional classes, the academy provides tutoring, counseling and other forms of support to address underlying issues that led to the disciplinary action. The program is a partnership with the Carroll County probation office and Community Mental Health services. The goal of the program is to keep students off the street and from falling behind in school while serving the consequences for their behaviors with community service. School-Based Health Wellness Clinic The district is currently collaborating with the Carroll County Health Department and Community Mental Health on the design and services that will be provided at the CEVSD Wellness Clinic. Services may include immunizations and other well-child programs, mental health and substance abuse supports, and a pharmacy that delivers prescriptions to a student’s home. The district plans for the Clinic to be staffed by a mental health professional, nurse practitioner and counselors. Watch for more details over the coming months!

The Importance of Thankfulness to God “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…” 1 Corinthians 15:3-4 Especially around the season of Thanksgiving, we in America hear a lot about giving thanks. We give thanks to people mostly for what they do and occasionally for who they are. And, for some of us, we give thanks to God for the blessings He gives to us. But a rare offering from us is thanksgiving to God Himself, just for Who He is. Sometimes we forget Who He is. Sometimes we become all too familiar with Him. Maybe what would spur our thanksgiving to God for Who He is, and for us to live in a consistent state of thanksgiving toward Him, would be for us to be awed by the Lord. Is it possible that we’re so enamored by entertainment, so enslaved to what the culture says we ought to be, and too afraid to shout the praises of Jesus (even on Sunday morning) but scream loudly at the television for our favorite team on Sunday afternoon – that we’ve forgotten how awesome God really is? I would venture to say for our hearts to be moved with thankfulness to God is that we could do with a good dose of being awed by God. So, where do we start if we’re to ever get back onto a course of being thankful to God? YOU STARTED HERE... 1 Corinthians 15:3a says, “For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received” - What did Paul, (the apostle who wrote 1 Corinthians), deliver and receive? He received Jesus; He received the Gospel. After he received it, he then delivered the Gospel. Why did he need it? Paul, like everyone else, had broken God’s perfect law and was under God’s wrath and judgement… Romans 1:18, “For the wrath of God is revealed from Heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth.” Here’s where we came from: We were children of wrath (Ephesians 2:3), enemies of God (Romans 5:10), and on our way to receiving the penalty of sin by suffering eternal death (Romans 6:23). Admittedly, that’s a bleak and hopeless picture; but true. Human nature is defined by this - “We want what we want, when we want it, and we’ll step over Jesus and the sacrifice He made for us to get whatever it is that we want.” And what do we want? We want our own way. But there is good news. The Bible says that there’s a more excellent way. WE NEED TO GO TO THIS PLACE… 1 Corinthians 15:3b-4 says, “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…” Paul says that the very thing, sin, that separated you and I from God was paid for by Jesus through dying and shedding His sinless blood on the cross for you and for me. And not only that, Jesus rose from the dead to ensure that forgiveness for us. 1 Corinthians 15:17 tells us, “And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile and you are still in your sins.” But He follows up with the best news anyone could hear in vs. 20, “But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead…” Once we believe, receive, and turn away from who

Sherry’s Book Corner Hi kids! Happy Thanksgiving to you! I hope you had the best Thanksgiving ever! We go to our son and his family’s house in Gettysburg for Thanksgiving day. We have a fun time there. Usually, unless it’s raining, we all go for a long walk after dinner. Nothing like a walk after a hearty meal right? Then, before we come back to Ohio, we go to a Christmas tree farm and help pick out their family Christmas tree! That is always great fun. Then... we all go to a cool orchard to get a bushel of apples for the winter. Do we know how to have fun or what?! You know, one of the most important things about Thanksgiving is time spent with your family or other ones you love. That’s what our book is about to-

Malvern Christian Care Center receives 825 pounds of items from Scout Troop 155 Every year, Scouts USA (formerly Boy Scouts of America) sponsors “Scouting For Food” in November. This year Malvern Troop 155 collected 825 pounds of food and non-perishables on Saturday, November 16, in the Malvern area. The items were delivered to the Malvern Christian Care Center at 715 E. Porter Street for their monthly distribution. Rev. Wally Anderson, director of the Center, was on hand to open the Center and receive donations. Scouts, parents, and scout leaders unloaded the trailer with food and non-perishables, as well as $30 in donations. The items were weighed and separated into different categories to give credit to the troop. Then the boys were given a tour of the Center, and Pastor Anderson explained how the Center works, who qualifies to receive goods, and how much recipients receive each month. The Center has been in operation at various locations since 1985. The Care Center is one of several food pantries in the local area, including Minerva, Carrollton, Waynesburg, and Dellroy. Most obtain food and non-perishables from the Akron Canton Regional Food

Bank and are financially supported in their local areas. The Malvern Christian Care Center has no paid staff, so financial donations are used to purchase food, non-perishables, rent, utilities, and delivery costs. The Center’s service area includes anyone who lives in the Brown Local School District who have a monthly income that is 150% of the poverty level. Families are provided with at least three days of food, as well as non-perishables like toilet paper, cleaning products, and personal hygiene items. From time to time the ACRFB provides mouthwash, batteries, medicines, containers and other odds and ends. Families also receive frozen meats as well as deer meat provided by a local coalition of hunters, farmers, and butchers. The Center’s annual budget is nearly $25,000 a year. Funds come from local churches, organizations, and private donations like the ones received by the scouts. The Center is a 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization, and tax deductible donations can be sent to Carol Scandridge, 10 Shoshone Trail, Malvern. Dollar donations are

particularly appreciated by the Center because it is able to purchase food and non-perishables at the ACRFB for 18 cents a pound. The Center also organizes a Christmas gift program for families with children from birth through 14 years old registered with the Center. Request forms were handed out in October and will be collected at the next distribution on Wednesday, Nov. 27, between the hours of 11:00 to 2:00 and 5:30 to 6:30. Families who apply to the Center for gifts may not apply to the Salvation Army’s Minerva/ Malvern Branch program. Gift requests will be distributed to the churches in Malvern, and families can purchase gifts and clothing in value up to $50. They can pick up gifts at the Center’s December distribution on December 18 and 19. The Center also encourages support of the Christmas gifts program sponsored by the American Legion Post 375, organized by Dick Ferguson. He also organizes a collection of supplies for veterans in Canton and at Cleveland’s Wade Park VA facility.

PEN from PG. 6 we were and then turn to God, we’re no longer (as the Bible says), ‘children of the darkness or the devil’. We’re no longer ‘workers of ongoing sin’. No… we become God’s children with a desire to worship Him, a desire to live for Him, and a desire to be thankful to Him. Those who are rescued have every reason to give thanks! WE DESIRE TO STAY HERE… It’s the desire of every Christian to live in a state of thankfulness to God. But, as we said, we forget. There’s no great secret to being in awe of God and to having a deep reverence & love for Him. Simply take yourself back daily to who God is & what He did for you with the Gospel, read His Word (the Bible), and talk with Him. Daily reminding ourselves of His goodness and what He saved us from will work a harvest of thankfulness to God. When we grasp that God’s love is personal and intentional to us, we won’t be able to hold back our powerful and emotional thanksgiving to Christ. May God bless you with new life in Christ and a rich life of daily thanksgiving in Him and to Him. Christ’s Blessings to you, Scott Welch Senior pastor Christ Community Church

Community Hospice named a 2019 Hospice Honors Elite Recipient, notes 30-year milestone in Carroll County By GEORGETTE HUFF FPS Contributor It’s been a noteworthy year for Community Hospice. The organization has become one of 60 hospice programs nationwide and one of only three Ohio-based hospice programs to be named a 2019 Hospice Honors Elite Recipient by HEALTHCAREfirst, the leading provider of webbased home health and hospice software, billing and coding services, CAHPS surveys and advanced analytics. Twenty-four quality indicator measures were used to rank the 1,850 hospice programs nationwide that participated in the yearlong evaluation period of October 2017 through September 2018. Community Hospice’s president and CEO, Norm Mast gave credit to “the excellent quality care our staff and volunteers provide to patients and families …” and said, “it’s about … honoring and respecting those we serve.” Previously known as Hospice of Tuscarawas County, Inc., Community Hospice was formed in 1986, from the unified vision of local health care professionals and volunteers who saw an essential need for end-of-life care throughout the

area. The recognition by HEALTHCAREfirst places Community Hospice in the top one percent of hospice programs in the state of Ohio and comes as the organization reaches a milestone of 30 years since the Carroll County office was established in 1989. In the years since, Community Hospice has established offices in Stark and Columbiana counties, acquired Hospice of Coshocton County, and developed the Truman House campus in New Philadelphia, which includes inpatient care facilities as well as the Martinelli Center that provides counseling services for patients and family members. Volunteer and Veterans Services Coordinator Pixie Furbee noted recently that from providing care for only a few patients per month in its early years, Community Hospice has an average daily census of 25 people in hospice care and has served more than 90 patients this year. Community Hospice is a non-profit agency. “Not all hospice organizations are non-profit,” Furbee said, explaining that on average, non-profit agencies spend at least 25 percent more on comprehensive care per patient than for-profit agencies, provide more home care to patients, admit all patients with a

spiritual care, availability of the hospice medical director consultations and house calls, nutritional counseling; massage, music, physical, speech and occupational therapy; and volunteer services. Bereavement services and grief counseling are available to primary caregivers and family members for 13 months after patients’ passing. Service options include: Routine Home Care for home patients and those living in nursing or assisted living facilities. Continuous Care provided for brief periods of crisis by a nurse with support from an aide in a patient’s place of residence. Respite Care offered to patients and families needed to travel or take a break and willing to be transferred to Truman House for a maximum of five days. General Inpatient Care available to patients whose symptoms are unmanageable at home. While Community Hospice does accept reimbursement from Medicare, Medicare and private insurance, all services – including medical supplies, equipment and medications related to terminal diagnosis – are provided, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, regardless of pa-

terminal diagnosis regardless of ability to pay, and offer comprehensive bereavement services to family members. Furbee stressed that people “should ask for Community Hospice by name.”

Patient care levels include palliative care, which focuses on providing relief from symptoms, pain and stress for people who are living with a serious illness but have not received a terminal diagnosis, and comfort

care for patients with life-limiting illness who have received a prognosis of six months or less from two physicians. Services offered to patients include skilled nursing care, hospice aides, social services,

HOSPICE from PG. 9 tients’ ability to pay. Along with its 210 employees, Community Hospice is blessed to have a network of dedicated volunteers. In fact, volunteers are an essential part of the hospice team, as one of the requirements for Medicare reimbursement is that volunteers must perform five percent of direct patient-care hours. Additionally, volunteers help administrative staff; provide spiritual care, pet therapy and bereavement support; assist with fundraising, and serve the needs of veterans through “We Honor Veterans,” a national awareness program that focuses on strengthening partnerships with other veterans’ programs in order to enhance services available to veterans. And would there be “Browse & Buy” without the dedicated cadre of volunteers sorting, pricing and displaying an ever-changing array of clothing,

household goods, furniture, books, jewelry, craft supplies and seasonal décor? Holly Flickinger, operations manager for the three Community Hospice shops said, “Going into ‘Browse & Buy’ is like going down memory lane.” While that’s true, more importantly, the shops, located in Carrollton, Dover and Uhrichsville, their communities by donating goods to other non-profit organizations and to individuals who cannot afford clothing or basic household items, and by providing a venue for EBT recipients to fulfill their work requirements. Proceeds from the “Browse & Buy” shops also provide financial support for “No Child Left Alone,” a bereavement camp for children ages 8-18, which takes place each summer at Camp Waunakee in Beach City. For four days in July, up to

50 children who have lost family members are invited to the camp which offers traditional activities including crafts, horseback riding and swimming and provides a nurturing environment in which to discuss their fears, feelings and concerns. As Community Hospice fulfills its mission “to honor life by providing peace, hope and compassion” to patients and their family members, community liaison Suzanne Bates said, “It’s a privilege to walk alongside our patients on their life’s journey.” Community Hospice is located at 704 Canton Road NW, Suite A, Carrollton. Hours are Monday-Friday, 8 a.m.-4:30 p.m. For additional information about hospice programs or becoming a volunteer, contact Pixie Furbee at 330-627-4796 or toll-free at 877-339-3035.

For the fifth year, the Steubenville Nutcracker Village will open the festivities with over 180 unique Nutcrackers on display in Fort Steuben Park and now also along Market and Fourth Streets. In the Park, visitors can see their old favorites as well as new Nutcrackers under the archway

of colored lights. Artisans will be selling their wares in the Advent Market as the crowd awaits the arrival of Mr. & Mrs. Claus before the lighting of the 32’ Christmas tree as well as the 20’ tree in the Land Office Park by the creche. On South Third Street, across from the park, the City of Steubenville Beautification Committee will be offering free food and treats to the kids, House of Prayer Outreach will distribute candy and Wells Academy will hand out mittens and scarves be-

A special holiday production by the Brenda Casey Dance Studio will be presented in the Berkman Amphitheater at 5:45. Back at the Park, the anticipation builds as Mayor Jerry Barilla and members of the Kloska family lead everyone in the countdown for lighting the tree at 6:20 p.m. followed by fireworks, courtesy of the Kloska/Brogan family in memory of their parents Bob and Terry Kloska.
