Christmas memories from long ago By NANCY SCHAAR FPS Correspondent
Several residents of Centreville Village sat down to share their Christmas memories from their childhood, from their years as parents with children of their own, and talked about how different Christmas is today. Lewis and Wilma Grigsby
Lewis and Wilma Grigsby are both 92 years old. Lewis was raised on a farm and worked at TRW in Minerva. He was born in West Virginia but moved to Ohio with his family when he was three years old. He had four sisters and his dad farmed. His mother died when he was in the third grade and they didn’t celebrate Christmas after that. He does remember a paper bell that always hung in the doorway at his home when he was young. “We always had a tree after we got married and had our own family. We had decorations for the tree that was cut from the farm. We had lots of lights
on the tree and the kids always had presents. They got clothing too,” said Lewis. Wilma worked at Surety Rubber, Kauffman’s, and the Villa Restaurant. When she was a child, Christmas was kind of just another day. She said they didn’t put up decorations but she and her sister and two brothers each got an orange. Wilma did remember they usually had a ham dinner. Wilma thought Christmas today is very different. She said the kids just get so much and they seem to expect it. “It was never like that when we were young,” said Wilma. Lois Newell
Lois Newell, 92, had many warm memories from her childhood. She is the daughter of Jake and Carrie Kirkpatrick Wadsworth and grew up on the family farm where the Great Trail festival is held now. Her father was a bookkeeper but they all helped with the work on the farm. She remembers back to when she was eight or nine years old and they had a neighbor, Mr. Young. Young would pay them 25 cents an hour to cut weeds at his house. She said

Proposed Atwood ambulance district still seeks supporters By NANCY SCHAAR FPS Correspondent
The last scheduled meeting of a group trying to establish the Atwood Ambulance District met at Conotton Valley High School Thursday. Kevin Vandegrift held the meeting with Attorney and long-time EMT and firefighter, Chip Comstock. Comstock has been hired by the Village of Sherrodsville to help establish the ambulance district in the area. Vandegrift is the EMS chief for the village of Sherrodsville. Due to a lack of volunteers to man the Sherrodsville EMS squad, the department has not answered a call in two years. Vandegrift has remained as the EMS chief paid by Sherrodsville council. Comstock and Vandegrift have been trying to gain support from seven entities to establish the district. They are Sherrodsville, Leesville, Roswell, Dellroy, Monroe Township, Warren Township, and Orange Township. These areas have all been served for many years by the Sherrodsville EMS squad. Each entity is being asked to sign an agreement that would make their village or township a part of the ambulance district. Each entity would appoint one person from their area to sit on the board of the ambulance district. The board would then make the decision whether to place the issue on the ballot for No-
vember, 2019 to pass a levy. A levy is the only way the district would be funded. The village of Sherrodsville has offered to lease the district their squad building, two squads and their equipment. Sherrodsville is the only proposed member of the district to have already signed the agreement. Vandegrift said one ambulance only has 18,000 miles on it and contains expensive equipment needed to run an ambulance. Included are heart monitors, new cots, and other medical equipment. Each meeting that has been held has brought about ten members of the community to hear the plans and proposed service the district would offer. The proposed board would be the ones to decide how many mills would be put on the levy. The board would decide how many employees to hire, their rate of pay and other issues. Comstock explained that the agreement will be presented at each village council or township meeting for their signatures in January. If the board moves forward with a proposed levy, the first tax collection from the levy would be in April of 2020 and the district could not function as a rescue unit until then. Area residents have been concerned for the last two years because there is not an established rescue squad in the area. If someone has a health emergency in those seven areas, an ambulance is sent from either EMT in Carrollton or Smith Ambulance in Dover. Response times have been averaging more
than 45 minutes, according to Comstock. The estimated levy to operate an ambulance district such as the one that covers the Waynesburg area would cost the owner of a $100,000 home $210 a year, $17.50 per month, or 57 cents a day, according to Vandegrift. “The only way this is going to happen is to form the board, propose the levy and the needed millage and then bring it to the voter’s for a vote,” said Comstock. Area resident Larry Walker had several good questions regarding the district. He asked where they would get qualified personnel from. Comstock and Vandegrift replied that they will be hired as part time workers from other ambulance or fire departments. Sherrodsville Mayor Ken Moffat said that EMT’s or paramedics are usually looking for an extra shift from another department to supplement their incomes. Orange Township trustee Jim Romig questioned if any other options have been considered and what the cost of another option would be compared to a tax levy. Romig wanted to know the cost to hire an already existing ambulance to post an ambulance in their area. Comstock and Vandegrift both said that other ambulance services have been contacted about establishing their squad’s in the area but said that those companies won’t do it without a tax base that will guarantee their funding.
Commissioners asked for their wish list By NANCY SCHAAR FPS Correspondent Commissioners were visited by Deb Brown of Save Your Town. Brown had been visiting various areas of the county during the last week. Brown questioned commissioners about what they would like to see in their town and county in the future. Commissioner Bob Wirkner replied that the county needs infrastructure to encourage economic development. Commissioner Lewis Mickley said he wants for his kids to have what he did growing up in Carroll County. He listed a swimming pool, a youth center, and family activities. Commissioner Jeff Ohler said the county needs the ability to

take care of things. “There has to be a reason why company’s come here. A big step will be water and sewer to Commerce Park. We have a better chance with smaller than big businesses. I’d rather have four employees for 50 companies over one company that hires 400,” said Ohler. Brown has already spoken to village councils, the Chamber of Commerce and other organizations and businesses. She will provide a report when her study is finished. Wirkner reported that funding for the Indigent Defense Fund has been reduced again and expected to be $176,000 for 2019. Wirkner said that funding from the State has never been enough to begin to cover the expense and counties are forced to pay the bill. Commissioners were visited by Sherrodsville Mayor Ken Moffat and EMS Coordinator Kevin Vandegrift. The men represented a group that is trying to establish an ambulance district for seven areas around Sherrodsville.

Dec. 12. Judge Willen noted the charge against Semrock did not involve recklessness or criminal intent, but was an accident with an underlying charge of left of center. According to Sgt. Bill Bower of the Ohio State Highway Patrol who investigated the Feb. 2 accident, Jacqueline Wanner, 61, of Magnolia, died as a result of injuries she sustained in the accident. Bower said Wanner was driving a 2016 Honda Civic east on state Route 171 and Semrock was driving a 2010 Mazda 6 west of state Route 171.

Sherrodsville still seeks bids for street snow removal By NANCY SCHAAR FPS Correspondent
Sherrodsville Village Council is still seeking bids for snow and ice removal for this winter. One bid has been received, but Mayor Ken Moffat is still asking for others to submit a bid for the job. Moffat said the intersections must be clear, and hills clear and salted. Moffat will be the one to see about the job and is the person who will supervise the maintenance of village streets. Kevin Vandegrift updated council on recent meetings held to present the plan for an Atwood Ambulance district consisting of seven separate villages and townships.
“The attendance hasn’t been what we want,” said Vandegrift. Moffat said that people need to understand that this proposed district will not be run by Sherrodsville. Each of the seven entities will have one seat on the Board of Directors for the district. “We need to spread our wings a bit. Expand to villages and township that see the need and help speak out. This is not a Sherrodsville thing. This is an area thing. We need to get our grass roots out there,” said Moffat. In other matters, Moffat asked council members to think over the next few weeks about what they would like to see in the village. They were asked to make a wish list of improvements, up-
grades, or projects that would improve the village. Fiscal Officer Valerie Gardner received approval for the 2019 appropriations for a total of $70,316 for the general fund. All funds which include the street department, capital projects, EMS, etc. totals $119,354. In other business council: - APPROVED a $25 per month raise for street superintendent Bill Booth. - THANKED all those who helped put up and repair Christmas lights for the village. - LEARNED that Dawn, Hazelton, Gayle, and Elm streets have been patched. - AUTHORIZED up to $2,500 for several new snowflake lights when on sale in January.

Malvern man dies after jumping from moving truck By KIMBERLY LEWIS FPS Editor A night of celebration ended in tragedy for a Malvern family Saturday night, Dec. 17. Kenneth Geckler and his son, Vincent, were returning home after celebrating Kenneth’s 72nd birthday at a Canton bar, when they had verbal confrontation in the truck, Kenneth told Carroll County Deputy Jacob Baker following the incident. The father told deputies he had stopped multiple times during the trip home to let Vincent out of the truck with Vincent then getting back in the vehicle so they could continue. After stopping at Woods Grocery on Alliance Road, Malvern, Kenneth stated he had continued to Robertsville Road when Vin-
cent allegedly became irritated and began beating on the dash and slamming his head on the windows. According to the incident report, Kenneth said Vincent then opened the passenger side door and exited the moving vehicle. The men were only a short distance from their home at 8232 Avalon Road N.W., Malvern. Upon arrival on the scene, Deputy Baker found Vincent unresponsive with a noticeable head injury and performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation until medical technicians from EMT Ambulance arrived to provide medical care. Vincent was pronounced dead at the scene by Carroll County Coroner Dr. Mandal Haas. An autopsy will be performed at the Stark County Examiner’s Office.
Deputies performed a field sobriety test on Kenneth, who was arrested for operating a vehicle under the influence. Sheriff Dale Williams said Kenneth Geckler allegedly recorded a BAC of 0.09 and was released after posting bond. Funeral services for Vincent Geckler will be held at 11 a.m. Friday, Dec. 21, at Arnold Funeral Home in Canton with calling hours 4-6 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 20. According to his obituary, Vincent, 49, was a U.S. Navy veteran, originally serving at the Great Lakes Training Center, and then deployed with the Marines in Iraq. During his tour in Iraq, Vincent earned the nickname “Doc” because “he saved countless lives in the field.” In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Wounded Warriors.

Investigation ongoing for beaten dog By NANCY SCHAAR FPS Correspondent Carroll County Sheriff Dale Williams stated this week that the investigation into the beating of Mocha, a two year old dog, is still on going. Mocha was rescued from the suspected abusive owner by a Trumbull county dog rescue and taken to MedVet in Akron on Nov. 14. According to the medical report, Mocha had received multiple fractures and injuries to the legs. The vet’s report confirmed that Mocha had numerous previous fractures which included a fracture of the elbow joint and pelvic fractures. Other previous injuries included numerous rib fractures. The vet determined that due to the serious injuries from this most recent beating and from prior incidents, Mocha was euthanized. Williams said if any witness will come forward, charges in the case may still be filed. “No warrant has been issued due to the lack of a witness,” said Williams.

Gov. Kasich signs law designating “Veterans Suicide Awareness Day” COLUMBUS—State Representative Andy Thompson (R-Marietta) announced Dec. 10 that a bill he joint-sponsored bringing attention to the staggering number of veterans who take steps to end their own lives following military service was officially signed by Governor John Kasich Dec. 7. House Bill 202 designates the first Saturday of May as “Veterans Suicide Awareness Day.” Rep. Thompson initiated the legislation after speaking to a constituent of the 95th House District, Jason Rutledge, who served in the Marines in Iraq and Afghanistan and who has made it his mission to raise awareness about the issue of veteran suicide. “I am extremely pleased that our governor has signed House Bill 202 into law,” Thompson said. “I have participated in the Veterans Suicide Awareness Day March in Carrollton, and I know how serious this issue is. No family should have to go through that pain, and any awareness we can raise will help decrease the amount of future tragedies.” In committee testimony, Rep. Thompson highlighted some of the statistics associated with this issue, including the estimation that 22 veterans commit suicide every single day. When returning home from serving overseas, veterans are faced with many

Guest Column - Merry Christmas and Happy New Year By AMY RUTLEDGE
Carroll County Chamber of Commerce and Convention and Visitors Bureau Director
2018 is quickly coming to a close. I would like to take this time to wish everyone reading this article a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! If you don’t celebrate Christmas, then happy whatever you do celebrate! It doesn’t matter to me what you celebrate, I just want to make your day better. My hope for 2019 is for everyone to be kind to one another. It is hard to be upbeat after watching TV, listening to the radio and news reports and hearing all of the horrible things people do to each other throughout the world. So I am encouraging everyone to try to be nicer and smile. It is amazing how much a
smile can change people’s mind set and maybe brighten their day. Make your New Year’s resolution to smile and say hi to a random person a day. You will be surprised at how it will make your day better also. I have heard a lot of people compliment the Carrollton area on how friendly the people are here. This is something to be proud of and to continue to work on to make it an even friendlier place for visitors and ourselves. That is what community is all about, enjoying and working together to better the place we call home. Make 2019 the best year ever by stepping away from the negativity and be nice to everyone, even if they weren’t nice to you. No one knows what is happening in other people’s lives and your smile and saying hi might be the difference that helps a person having a hard time.
Lest We Forget By CAPT. CHARLES PEARSON
U.S. Marine Corps, ret. It was Christmas Even 1917 in “no man’s land” during World War I, somewhere in Italy when a most unusual and wondrous thing occurred. Battle weary men in one of the American trenches began singing “Silent night, holy night, all is calm, all is bright!” To their surprise, the German soldiers began signing that very same song in their own language,” Stile nacht, heilige nacht, ales schlaft, einsam wacht.” All along that particular section of “no man’s land” all cannon fire ceased for the night.
Peace reigned amidst scenes of carnage that night. For a few hours, foes became friends as they joined in singing Christmas carols, one after another. It was reminiscent of the last two verses of the carol “Christmas Bells.” And in despair, I bowed my head; “there is no peace on earth,” I said; “For hate is strong, and mocks the song of peace on earth, good-will to men!” Please keep our military personnel in your prayers as they do their best to bring peace on earth. Charles Pearson is the chaplain for the Malvern Legion Post 375 and Carrollton VFW Post 3301.
Steeple to Street As we have come to Christmas time again, we may be reminded of the old slogan, “Jesus is the reason for the season.” Both Mary and Joseph were told by angel messengers that the baby was be named “Jesus,” a name that means Savior, “for he shall save His people from their sins,” St. Matthew reports. In St. Luke’s account, Mary is informed that this Jesus is the son of God and He will reign over His people, and to the shepherds, the angels announce, “a savior is born.” A savior is given because a savior is needed. This Jesus is highly qualified – the Son of God and son of human Mary – divinely holy and powerful, “full of truth and grace,” (St. John 1:14). Yet this Jesus is fully identified with man’s needs as now He is incarnated into humanity. He will save and He will reign. In His power to reign He triumphs over all the evil forces that would ultimately destroy us and thus He is powerfully able to save us. But only those who choose to accept His reign as Lord in their lives can be saved by Him. To fail to recognize him as the One who came from God and Heaven, rightful Lord and King for man, is to fail to rightly believe Him to be the Savior. Man’s natural condition is sinful, lost and perishing … but whoever believes in Him need not perish, but may have everlasting life, for God so loved the world that He gave His son. (St. John 3:16) As the angel said, “unto you is born a savior.” Jesus is the reason for the season. Gordon Warner Pastor Wesley Community Chapel
Troopers focused on impaired driving as holidays approach The Ohio State Highway Patrol remains committed to removing impaired drivers from Ohio’s roads before senseless tragedies occur. During the first 10 months of 2018, troopers had 22,432 arrests for impaired driving resulting in 51 fewer OVI-related fatal crashes. In 2017, there were 14,481 OVI-related crashes on Ohio roadways, killing 405 people and injuring 8,848 others. During the same period, troopers removed more than 27,000 impaired drivers from Ohio roadways. OVI-related crashes accounted for 35 percent of all
fatal crashes in Ohio in 2017. “We can’t fight the battle against impaired driving on our own, we need your commitment to make our roads safe,” said. Lt. Mark Glennon. “Everyone can help make our roads safe by planning ahead, designating a sober driver and insisting that everyone in the vehicle is buckled up.” This year, troopers from the New Philadelphia Post have removed 39 impaired drivers from our roadways. The public is encouraged to call #677 to report impaired drivers, drug activity and stranded motorists.

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas at Southern Local HS It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas at Southern Local High School, where classes will be decking the halls with holiday décor. The school leadership committee, which includes about 11 SLHS students, is spearheading the project and each corridor has a corresponding theme. Hopes are to have the decorations ready so students - and staff - can start counting down to Christmas break. Leadership committee member Aubrianna Mellott said the idea was to do something fun
and festive to ring in the season. “We came up with the idea to try to show how we can work together as a school and make something the elementary kids can come and see, as well as something we can put on for the community.” The original plan was to decorate for Halloween, but organizers opted to get into the Christmas spirit. Teachers became involved and holiday themes were selected for areas of the building including “Candy Land,” “Gingerbread,” “The Grinch” and “Winter Wonder-
land,” “Frozen,” and “Santa and His Elves.” Students signed up to decorate and have been spending time before and after school getting the hallways ready. Hopes are to showcase their designs to the public during the school basketball game on Dec. 15. Mellott noted that it was not a competition, but rather a show of cooperation. “We wanted to bring everyone together and make it uniform. Everyone can do something and be included.”

Hello everyone! Well, we now have five days until Christmas! I had a whole library to choose from for this week’s selection, but once I read this story, I knew this was the one. I thought your whole family could enjoy this book together either on Christmas Eve or on Christmas Day. A moving, readout-loud story for all to hear. It starts with the Christmas tree and ends with the greatest gift of all that God gave us the very first Christmas gift, His Son, Jesus. The two little girls in our story, Laurie and Elizabeth, snuggled in their daddy and m o m m y’s arms by the Christmas tree to learn about Christmas and its true meaning. I did not have this scenario when I was a child, but as an adult, Randy and I passed this message on to our sons at a young age. In our world today, more than ever, we all need

MEMORIES from PG. 1 Mary, Bill, Helen, Mildred, Martha, Lois, Frederick, and Carrie. Lois said her sister Mary remembers riding horse and buggies to church and places, but Lois only remembers cars. “We always had a Christmas tree. We’d go out on the farm and cut one. It was usually three or four days before Christmas. We hung our stockings. We all got an orange, some hard tack, a little sack of some kind of candy, and cracker jacks,” said Lois. Christmas dinner was usually chicken or ham. They walked a lot back then and the farm had a long lane. They walked to church and to school too. They attended the midnight service at the Lutheran Church in Malvern and they also went to church Christmas morning. She married Bob Newell in 1947 and they had five children. They are Phyllis, Bob, Bonnie, Bill, and Jim. Phyllis passed away not long ago. Bob died in 2005 but they had almost 60 wonderful years together and Lois is thankful for that. Bob Newell was a well-known auctioneer in the county for many years. “We usually got them one thing they asked for. The girls usually wanted a doll. The boys wanted those little cars. We got Bill a microscope when he was about ten. He really enjoyed it. We all enjoyed looking at things in that microscope,” said Lois. Lois said they all got clothes for Christmas too. As a child, Lois always wanted her own doll. She had a special aunt and uncle from Canton. Her uncle was the Chief of Police there for several years. The aunt and uncle would bring presents and the older girls got dolls and Lois wanted one so badly. Her first doll was a rag doll. She did finally get a real doll when she was seven. It still had a rag body but it had a doll head. Her dad played a baritone, mom played the piano, and there was a lot of music and they were always happy. She said she doesn’t remember a lot of fighting or arguing among the brothers and sisters, but she also said they were spread out in age quite a bit. When she started school her oldest sister had already graduated and her oldest brother was in the Navy. With a chuckle, Lois did remember one incident when

she was young that her mother stepped in when Lois and a sister were trying to shove each other down the staircase. Lois said Christmas has changed so much since she was a child. “You didn’t expect gifts like children do today. It was a special day to be together as a family and with friends. We always got small gifts but nothing like families do today,” said Lois. Bob Bishel
Bob Bishel is 86 and was born near Pittsburgh. He lived for many years near Mechanicstown on a farm. After high school, he served in the Navy and the Korean War. Bob grew up with one brother and one sister. They cut their own tree every year and used some store bought decorations, but most were homemade. The children usually received one toy on Christmas. One of his favorite gifts as a child was a monopoly game. Bob said they all went to church together too. His mom would cook whatever she wanted to for Christmas dinner. There wasn’t a tradition of turkey or ham like there is today. He remembers that one year she cooked venison for Christmas dinner and it was very good. Bob said they always had the big dinner on Christmas Eve instead of Christmas day. Bob and his wife, Ann, had one son and two daughters. “We always made sure our kids had a few gifts, but it’s nothing like today. Kids get a lot more now. It was about family and visiting with friends. It wasn’t about the gifts back then,” said Bob. Bob has lived in Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Ohio and worked in West Virginia for 33
years as an engineer. He moved here in 1993. “I’ve seen quite a bit of the world. Being with the children and grandchildren watching them grow up, was the best part of it all,” continued Bob. “I really enjoy living here. They take good care of you and the food is pretty good all the time,” said Bob. One daughter is in Virginia, his son is in Fayetteville, North Carolina, and his daughter Carolyn lives at Atwood Lake with her husband, Jeff Yeager. Bob and Rose Pierce
Bob Pierce, now 88, and his wife, Rose, 81, remember Christmas as a very different day from what it is today. Bob was born in Marietta and had five brothers and one sister. He was the youngest. His dad did everything. He was a jack of all trades. He was a pipe fitter, an electrician, and he could do anything, according to his son. His memory is scarce from his childhood about Christmas. His dad left the family when he was ten. His mom had a hard time after that and worked very hard. Bob worked at Ford Motor in Canton for 34 years. Rose grew up with three sisters and three brothers near Pattersonville. Her dad worked at Dieboldt. She said they always had a tree but they had a small income too. “There were a few gifts. One toy and some clothing was about it. It was about being with your family and some friends. It was different,” said Rose. Christmas day they always had a ham. The turkey was just for Thanksgiving. But one of the best parts of Christmas was her mother’s homemade rolls and

pies. She got a doll almost every year. “It was such a different Christmas. It makes me appreciate everything I have now,” said Rose. Bob and Rose dated for two years before he gave her an engagement ring for Christmas. And her gift from him the first Christmas they were married was a beautiful grandmother clock, which still graces their living room. “We had three boys, two are deceased. And we have 12 grandchildren and 18 great grandchildren with two more on the way! We used to travel a lot but enjoy living here and our family is still the most important part,” said Rose.

SALEM – The Carrollton Warriors wrestling team put on a dominate performance against the Salem Quakers Thursday, Dec. 13 to open Eastern Buckeye Conference (EBC) action with a 58-12 win. The match started at 106 lbs. but the match of the night came at 138 lbs., featuring Carrollton’s Nate Blake against Adam Magnuson. Blake scored an early takedown in the first period to take a 2-0 lead, but he trailed the rest of the match. With less than :35 remaining in the third period, Blake trailed 7-6. He got two reverse points and back points with under :30 left in the match to win 13-7. Carrollton’s David Woolever earned Carrollton six team points with a :50 pin over Salem’s Dylan Newhouse. Salem’s Caiden Hart made it even at 113 lbs., pinning Carrollton’s Jayden Zbuka :23 into the final period. Tied at 6-6, the Warriors won four straight matches to take a 22-6 lead. At 120 lbs., Carrollton sophomore Brandon Brown scored on an early takedown against Jacob Frost to take a 2-1 lead. He led 6-3 after the second period and sealed the match in the third with two takedowns and some back points to win the match by major decision 13-4. Carrollton’s Dominick Speelman (126
lbs.) was wasting no time in his match, pinning Will Cunningham in the first period. At 132 lbs. Carrollton’s Robbie Hoopes recorded a first period takedown to lead Salem’s Owen Kirkland 2-0 after the first period. Hoopes went on to win the match 7-0. Blake’s 13-7 decision extended Carrollton’s lead to 22-6. Connor Clark, a Carrollton junior, took Jax Booth to the overtime, but fell 4-2 in sudden victory. “Our kids don’t go out to embarrass anybody, that’s not what it is,” Carrollton Coach Ken Pasiuk said. “If you can take care of it, take care of it right away,” and that’s exactly what his team did. Leading 22-9, the Warriors pinned six consecutive Quakers, including five of them in the first period. Carrollton’s Colby Moore (152 lbs.) pinned Lane Lafleme one-minute into the match. Carrollton senior Ben Pasiuk followed with a one-minute pin of his own in the 160 lbs. match. Brandon Daniels jumped out to a 6-3 lead over Salem’s Logan Stecker in the 170 lb. match before pinning him in the first period. Carrollton’s Seth Brown recorded the fastest pin of the night, :33 into his match over Sam Murray. Carrollton’s Alex Carrothers and Jaret Lane also recorded pins. Salem snapped Carrollton’s six-match

pin streak with a 3-1 win in the final match of the night at 285 lbs. “It’s a confidence booster,” Coach Pasiuk said. “They’re going out there and they’re wrestling; they know they don’t want to lose.” Carrollton placed eighth at the North Canton Hoover Holiday Invitational with a team score of 115.09. Wadsworth won the tournament with
a score of 175.02. The Warriors finished the tournament with five placers: Pasiuk (second), Brown (fourth), Daniels (fifth), Speelman (sixth) and Hoopes (sixth). Lane was one win away from finding a spot on the podium for Carrollton. “This was a great tournament for our team at this time of the year,” Coach Pasiuk. “The team is improving in all
areas but have a lot to work on to get ready for the post season.” “We are very proud of how our boys wrestled and handled themselves in this very competitive tournament,” Pasiuk said. The Carrollton Warriors are set to be back in action Thursday, Dec. 20 at Marlington High School. Varsity matches are set to begin at 7 p.m.

The Carrollton Warriors Varsity basketball team ended their four game road trip on a high note last Friday as they won their first game of the young season in an overtime thriller. Carrollton traveled to Marlington High School in Alliance were they took on the Dukes in an Eastern Buckeye Conference (EBC) matchup. The Warriors took it to the Dukes for four quarters forcing an overtime period were the visitors left victorious with a final score of 58 to 53. The Warriors put up an outstanding defensive effort in the first quarter keeping the Duke’s off the scoreboard.
Yes, you read that correctly, Marlington didn’t score a single point in the first period. Carrollton put up 13 points in the first and added nine more points in the second giving the Warriors a 22-6 advantage at the break. “Our defense was solid in the first half because we communicated and paid attention to their personnel and their strengths” said Coach Mike Aukerman Marlington made some adjustments at halftime and registered 15 points in the third quarter and held Carrollton to just 10 points. Carrollton added 15 more points in the final period but Marlington came roaring back with a 26 points in the final frame tying the game and forcing an overtime period. Carrollton dominated the extra period
with an 11-6 run putting the Dukes away for good. The Warriors shot 44% from the floor and had 26 points in the paint compared to Marlington’s 31% shooting and 18 points in the paint. “I am extremely proud of the moxie we showed to get that first win of the year. More will follow if we can learn and grow from the elements that produced the victory. Our guys were pretty jacked up after that first win, which also puts us 1-0 in EBC play. And I’m just glad we were able to come together and finish it as a team. To win in that fashion, in overtime, is certainly one I am excited to get as my first win as a head coach. But this is about those guys in that locker room” said Aukerman when asked how it felt to get
his first win as a head coach. Carrollton’s Adam Chaney led all scorers with 26 points six rebounds and three steals. Drue Moore gave the Warriors 17 more points five rebounds and six assists. Trevor Boggess added five points while Gage Poole and Conner King each chipped in four points. Jimmy Birong contributed two points. Marlington’s Andrew Pucci had a team high 15 points while Cameron Bennett and Blane Himmelheber each added 12 points. Carrollton faced off against the Cambridge Bobcats in a nonconference match up last Tuesday and were outpaced by the Bobcats as they won, handedly 62-47. The Warriors
only shot 34% for the game compared to Cambridge who shot 49%. Adam Chaney led the Warriors with 20 points, Drue Moore chipped in 12 points and Conner King added eight points. Cambridge’s Trent Valentine had a game high 22 points going 9 for 9 from the charity line. Nicholas Oliver provided 13 points while Sean Perkins added 10 points. Carrollton (1-4)(1-0) will head to Minerva High School for a game against their longtime rivals Friday night. Junior varsity action gets underway at 6:00 pm with the varsity game following.
Williams scores 25, pulls down 13 boards in loss to West Branch By JORDAN MILLER MINERVA - The Minerva Lions hosted the West Branch Warriors and the Steubenville Big Red in back-toback contests Friday and Saturday nights. Against the Warriors Friday night, Minerva gave up a 9-0 run to open the game. “Two bad stretches really cost us any chance of winning this game,” Minerva Coach Shawn Green said. “West Branch started the game 9-0 in the first minute of the game, and they closed the half 19-2.” West Branch won the Eastern Buckeye Conference (EBC) game 5949. Minerva was led by senior Brice Williams 25 points and 13 rebounds. He went 12-of-14 from the free throw line. “Brice Williams again showed why he is the best overall offensive player in our league,” Coach Green said about his standout senior. “He gave up 3 inches of height to the two West Branch posts, but still ended tonight with 25 points and 13 rebounds. He scores in a variety
of ways and has been our anchor this year. He is such a great kid who loves basketball and always seems to show up when the lights are brightest.” Minerva senior Philip Boord scored eight points, pulled down five boards and recorded a trio of both steals and assists. The Lions received bench action from Brandon Baumgardner. He scored five points and recorded three rebounds and two steals. “Brandon Baumgardner gave us a great effort tonight off the bench. He helped spark our 4th quarter rally and we need him to stay confident and aggressive,” Green said. “He will be a key contributor to this team because he plays his butt off and is a very good athlete. When Brandon makes an impact on the game we tend to have team success.” The Minerva Lions lost a close one, 72-66, to Steubenville Saturday night. The Lions energy is what kept them in it, Coach Green said. “We really battled tonight against a well rested and ultra athletic and talented Steubenville team. I’m really proud of the fight my guys showed tonight and know we all really wanted
this win,” said Green. “We expended a lot energy in our second half rally last night against West Branch and knew Steubenville was off last night and resting. But, our guys responded and really competed tonight. It was a one possession game most of the 4th quarter and it came down to who could put a few stops together first.” Williams led the Lions with 24 points and eight rebounds. Boord scored 16 points and led his team with six assists but it was Mitchell Greer’s second quarter that gave the Lions the boost they needed. Greer scored eight points and pulled down six rebounds. “We needed some size tonight against their relentless bigs and Mitch turned in the best performance of his career,” Green said. “He is a great kid and hard worker and it was awesome for him to have a good night. We are going to need his inside presence as we get into league play.” Minerva will be back in action Friday night at home against long-time rival, Carrollton. “Our guys will be ready and hungry for that first victory. It will be a lot of fun and I can’t wait to get to practice Monday to start our preparation.”
Nellie Yankovich collected nine points and Shelby Wheeler chipped in eight points. Minerva also won the Junior Varsity game by a score of 56-18. Carrollton continued their home stand on Saturday when they hosted the West Branch Warriors in Carrollton’s third Eastern Buckeye Conference game of this young season. Carrollton hung tuff with the West Branch Warriors for the first two quarters but ended up falling to the visitors by a final score of 53-30. It took over two minutes for the first points of the game to be registered when Carrollton Malian Moore (#23) spun out of traffic into the paint for a layup. On the ensuing play Chloe Glass (#32) blocked a shot forcing a turnover and Moore sunk a jump shot from the
top of the key to register two more points and forcing the West Branch Coach to call a time out to make some defensive adjustments. West Branch didn’t get on board until the game was almost half way through the first frame. West Branch got hot and put up 13 more points in the remaining time while Carrollton was only able to collect five more points in the frame. Carrollton outscored the visitors 11 to 9 in the second quarter to draw within 4 points with a halftime score of Carrollton 20 and West Branch 24. West Branch came out in the second half with a full court press and setting traps on almost every inbound attempt Carrollton made and it proved to be too much for the Home team as West Branch outscored Carrollton 19 to 2 in the third
quarter. The fourth quarter was more of the same and West Branch put up 10 points while Carrollton only scored eight. Malina Moore was the high scorer for Carrollton with eight points while Erin King scored six points. Chloe Glass and Abby Laizure added five points each. Payton Alazaus led the way for the West Branch Warriors with 16 points including four 3-pointers. Grace Heath scored 11 points while Jessica Bock added nine points. West Branch had nine players on the score board. West Branch won the Junior Varsity game 53-20. The Carrollton Warriors (1-6, 0-3) will host the Wooster Lady Generals on Saturday when JV action starts at noon. Varsity action will start at approximately 1:30.

OHSAA adjusts format for boys basketball state semifinals COLUMBUS – Changes are coming to the Ohio High School Athletic Association boys basketball state tournament, Executive Director Jerry Snodgrass has announced. Beginning with the 2019 state tournament, the boys basketball state semifinals will be doubleheader sessions, meaning fans will need only one ticket for both semifinal games of each division and will not need to leave the arena between those two games.
The new format for the boys semifinals is similar to how the girls basketball state tournament has been conducted. The changes were approved last week by the OHSAA Board of Directors. “We are pleased to make this change,” Snodgrass said. “This means that during the semifinals, fans will not have to leave the arena and reenter as often and many of the teams and their fans will miss less school and work time. It also
means the semifinal sessions will have four communities inside the arena instead of two, so the Schottenstein Center will be closer to capacity, which will create an electric atmosphere for both games.” All-session tickets will go on sale to the general pubic in early February. Ticket order forms will be mailed to OHSAA member schools this week. Some ticket prices will be adjusted for the boys state tournament, including a
decrease in the cost of all-session tickets in the terrace level from $120 down to $96 per person ($12 per session). All-session ticket prices in the lower level remain the same at $144 per person ($18 per session). For the semifinals, single-session tickets will increase from $15 to $20 in the lower level and from $10 to $15 in the upper level. Single-session tickets in the lower bowl for students and fans of the 16 semifinalists will be sold at the schools for a reduced
MALVERN - The Conotton Valley Lady Rockets handed the Malvern Lady Hornets a 39-36 loss in overtime last week. The Lady Rockets jumped out to a 13-7 lead to end the first quarter, but Malvern held Conotton Valley to only two second quarter points, taking a 16-15 lead into halftime.
The Lady Hornets led 29-27 entering the final frame. Conotton Valley outscored Malvern 4-2 in the fourth quarter to force overtime. The Lady Rockets scored three more points than Malvern in the extra quarter. Conotton Valley’s Sydney Lyon finished four-of-seven at the free
throw line and totaled 21 points. Maddie Bower scored 11 points for the Lady Rockets. Lani Bower led Malvern with a team-high 18 points. Sarah Minor scored 10 points, Hope Whaley added six and Gabby Lawarence tacked on a pair herself.
With the win, Conotton Valley improved to 3-4 on the season and 1-3 in IVC action. Malvern drops to 1-6 on the year as they continue to search for their first conference win of the season. Malvern will play host to the Minerva Lions Dec. 22. Varsity tips off at 1 p.m.
rate compared to the public lower-bowl cost and will allow admittance for both games of the session. Like the girls basketball state tournament, the boys basketball state championship games on Saturday will remain as a separate ticket for each game. “We want to stress that this format change doesn’t mean that we are doubling the cost of tickets for the semifinals,” Snodgrass said. “In fact, the cost for all-session tickets stays the
same in the lower bowl and actually decreases in the upper bowl.” The Center Court Club tickets will also be available again, which includes access to a VIP club section between every game. Additional details for tickets will be released in mid-January. The 2019 OHSAA girls basketball state tournament will take place March 14-16, while the boys basketball state tournament is March 21-23.
The Carrollton boys basketball team will be hosting their first annual Carrollton Boys Basketball Pancake Breakfast Saturday Dec. 29. The breakfast will be held at the Carroll County Friendship Center, located at 100 Kensington Rd. NE. Breakfast will be served from
7-10 a.m. Event officials encourage people to come out to support the basketball team and cheer them on before they 1 p.m. game at the Tuscarawas Central Catholic Holiday Classic. Admission to the breakfast will be a donation.

Better Business Bureau warns of online scams The Better Business Bureau serving Canton Region and Greater West Virginia reminds residents that scammers use phony tracking numbers to fool online shoppers. The BBB recommends people make sure to buy only from trustworthy websites. Scammers are using phony tracking numbers to fool shoppers into thinking their package is on the way, according to recent BBB Scam Tracker reports. How The Scam Works
You are shopping online and find a site with amazing deals, often 50 percent cheaper than prices on established websites. The website and the products look legitimate, so you decide to take a chance and make a purchase. After checkout, you get a confirmation email that contains a tracking number from UPS, FedEx, or another shipping service. What happens next depends on the scam. In some versions, the tracking number provided is completely fake. In other variations, the number is real and appears to work at first...
until “your” item is delivered somewhere else. Either way, the outcome is the same. Providing a phony tracking number allows scammers to stall and shift blame for the missing package to the shipping service. In reality, your purchase never existed in the first place. You may even get shipping notices without purchasing from a new website. The notice may say the shipper is having difficulty delivering a gift package to you. The email may contain a link that asks for personally identifying information or that downloads malware onto your computer. This scam is particularly prevalent at the holidays when more packages are being shipped. Scammers are hoping you are busy or distracted and will click without thinking. Protect Yourself From An Online Shopping Scam:
• Before buying online, confirm the site has real contact information. Make sure the seller has a working phone number and address on the website, so you can contact them in case of
problems. • Don’t click on links in unsolicited emails. Look at the email carefully and confirm that you actually ordered before taking any action. Instead of clicking on a link, go to the shipper’s website and manually key in the tracking number to confirm it’s real. • If the price seems too good to be true, there’s probably something wrong. Be wary if the item is selling for significantly lower than what you’ve seen elsewhere. • Review BBB online shopping tips. Many online purchase scams use similar tactics. SeeBBB.org/ShoppingOnline for more advice. To learn more about scams, go to BBB.org/ScamTips. If you’ve been targeted by this scam, help others avoid the same problem by reporting your experience at BBB.org/ScamTracker.

Carrollton school board pleased with test scores By NANCY SCHAAR FPS Correspondent

Intervention specialist Maureen Kaufmann is playing an active role in the Behavior and Socialization Integration Classroom (BASIC) pilot program developed between Edison Local Schools and the Jefferson County Board of Developmental Disabilities. Kaufmann helps develop positive behavioral and intervention support strategies for teachers and students and works to address a variety of needs, at times involving community organizations. She is pictured here with Liam Styletz, a second-grader at Stanton Elementary, doing an activity in the sensory room.
Edison, Jefferson DD Board partner for pilot project Edison Local Schools and the Jefferson County Board of Developmental Disabilities are teaming up for a new pilot project aimed at helping students with behavioral and socialization issues. BASIC, or Behavior and Socialization Integration Classroom, was started this year and currently helps students in Edison schools with a variety of issues. Superintendent Bill Beattie said he and JCBDD Superintendent Michael Zinno discussed ways they could assist those students in need and developed a role for Maureen Kaufmann, a longtime teacher at the School of Bright Promise, to provide support. “Maureen pulls all the kids in for a small group or one-onone sessions. The goal is for those students to go back into the classroom and work on intervention and supports to incorporate them daily into the classroom,” Beattie explained. “She also tries to give teachers strategies and intervention they’ve been working on [to assist with their practices].” Beattie said the project has been fruitful, and leaders initially targeted at least 25-30 students but have since tripled that number with 79 currently receiving assistance. “There are many kids benefitting from the service so far and hopefully we can extend it another year,” Zinno added. “The superintendents get together at the Jefferson County Educational Service Center each month and sometimes we talk about needs we can fulfill. That’s how this came about. It’s not necessarily a child with behavioral issues; it’s a child with behavioral challenges we can help. It can be a child with trauma or one who is not necessarily eligible for the BDD program, but one who could
benefit from the concept of positive behavioral supports.” Kaufmann, an intervention specialist who spent eight years teaching in the intermediate unit at the School of Bright Promise, currently works with students in grades PreK-12 who are at risk, have trouble academically or with behaviors or family situations. She divides her time between Stanton and John Gregg Elementary Schools and Edison High and said her work is wide-ranging. “The BASIC program was a brainstorm between Mr. Beattie and Mr. Zinno because they wanted to get services for students who are at risk. I observe the students, talk to teachers and try to implement supports for students, teachers and families. We’re a wraparound service.” She spends her time assisting with individual education plans, or IEP’s, doing behavior plans, implementing Positive Behavior Supports and Interventions and working with students and teachers to meet needs within the classroom. Kaufmann collaborates with Diana Morello of State Support Team Region 12 (SST-12) and District Literacy Specialist Miguel Brun on the PBIS supports and also devises strategies to benefit both teachers and pupils. With the latter, the trio devises plans to take PBIS strategies and incorporate them into a model classroom setting at the elementary schools. “The teachers are working hard to implement the strategies I give them and the administration is behind us, plus the principals are doing a positive job of implementing it. The teachers want their students to be successful and there’s lots of positive reinforcement that we are doing,” she said. Students are generally referred
through teachers and guidance counselors and she collaborates with ENGAGE, a program through the Ohio Family and Children First Council, while additional resources have been provided by the Jefferson County Community Action Council and Coleman Professional Services. Kaufmann has even referred families to Help Me Grow for early intervention for support, as well as homeless shelters, the United Way of Jefferson County, therapy and social services. Additionally, she has worked to get sensory items for kids with autism and sensory perception as well as materials to soothe hyperactive students, including weighted blankets and calming corners. “Whatever need they have, we work to fulfill it,” she added. “[I refer them to] different agencies for different supports.” Since the pilot project’s inception, Kaufmann has noticed a distinct change for the better. “We’ve seen improvements in student behavior and you hear a lot more positive reinforcement. We try to celebrate what we want to change and acknowledge good behavior. I’ve seen a change in the climate. It’s really positive and I think the principals should be proud of themselves.” Moreover, Beattie attributed the success to Kaufmann’s diligence and hoped to see the benefits continue. “Maureen has been a very positive influence for the district, not only for bringing in strategies for intervention and socialization, but she’s also brought in community services,” he concluded. “Positive Behavior and Intervention Supports have been incorporated into classrooms and we’re excited to see how it will develop.”
Carrollton Elementary School Principal Tim Albrecht presented a report for board members detailing the ELA test scores for third grade students. The scores include Carrollton, Dellroy and Augusta Elementary schools. The English Language Arts testing program is based on the end of the third grade school year. “These students are performing higher than students did in 2015. Scores were all above average,” said Albrecht. Abby Shockey informed board members about a recent trip for four high school students to the Heinz Historical Museum in Pittsburgh on November 30. Other students attending were Emily Schaar, Jimmy Birong, and Alex Carrothers. Shockey reported that speak-
ers for the day-long meeting included scientists from NASA who discussed future space technology and the future colonization of Mars. Speakers hoped the students would feel inspired to study astronomy in the future according to Shockey. The field trip was sponsored by Carrollton Rotary. Director of Programs Ed Robinson reported that styles and colors for furnishings are being reviewed for the new school campus for grades 6 - 12. “This is our last big hurdle. RFQ’s (Request for Qualifications) will be out before Christmas,” stated Robinson. In other business the board: - SET a budget hearing for Jan. 8 in the POWER Training Center at 5:45 p.m. - WILL hold a public hearing before approval the 2019-2020 school calendar Jan. 8 during the regular board meeting.

Edison, Buckeye students collect for ‘Paws to Help Santa Claus’ campaign Edison and Buckeye Local High Schools teamed up off the court to help collect toys for needy kids in their communities through the “Paws to Help Santa Claus” campaign. The schools had to raise the most toys by the Dec. 7 basketball matchup and the one with the least collected would see their principal don the opponent’s mascot during a game. Edison won the challenge by gathering 274 toys while Buckeye Local collected 152, but the kids were the real winners since the 426 toys will be divided between the districts. Pictured with a few of the items are Edison and Buckeye Local students. Front from left are Gracie Fox, Morgan Martin, Jailyah Green and Ethan Powell.

Carroll Hills Elementary students enjoy many Christmas activities By SHELLY HAUGHT Carroll Hills School
Merry Christmas... ...to all our good friends everywhere. It was our pleasure serving you this year. 2019! Looking forward to 2018!
The elementary students at Carroll Hills School have been very busy working on a variety of Christmas crafts. They are using them to decorate the classroom as well as making some ‘surprises’ for their parents for Christmas! The kids made sugar scrub for their mom’s with the help of Brittany Rohr. Brittany is the Job Associate at the Ohio Extension Office. A week ago, she taught the kids about just how much sugar is in different food items. Brittany also helped the kids paint pictures with powdered sugar, water and glitter. Within the classroom the students have made snowmen, gingerbread men, grinches, Santa’s elves, and Christmas bulbs. This gives them an opportunity to express their creativity. Later this month their parents will be coming for a visit in the classroom. They will be decorating Christmas cookies and making a simple craft with their children. Early in December, the kids were surprised to find an elf in their classroom! Santa sent him here to keep an eye on the kids and make sure they are being good! They got to think of names for our elf and then we voted. They decided on the name Elfie! We are looking forward to a lot of adventures between now and Christmas! Earlier this week the class got to go for lunch at Pizza Hut as a reward for completing their Pizza Hut Book It monthly reading challenge. Afterward, they mailed their handwritten letters to Santa Claus. Each student had to type their address for their envelopes. Here are a few students standing in front of our homemade class Christmas tree made out of construction paper. The ornaments have yarn on them to indicate how tall each of the students are in 2018. This week the students have been working on assembling and decorating a gingerbread house. The gingerbread house was donated to the classroom by Brody Nolan and his mother. It looks awesome!
May the true joy of this special season be yours.

Joy celebrated at Bell Herron Middle School By NANCY SCHAAR FPS Correspondent
Bell Herron students decorate doors for holiday contest The classroom doors at Bell Herron were decorated for a contest. Shown with one of the doors are students (from left) Rachel Hale, Lexis Ewing, Maleyna Havens, Phoebe Moyers and Natalie Imes with their

Southern Local seeks more education opportunities SALINEVILLE - Southern Local school officials are looking to add more educational opportunities for high school students with additional pathways toward successful careers. SLHS Principal Tony DelBoccio told board members at their Dec. 12 meeting that he applied for a $10,000 grant which ties into STEM and opens pathways for such fields as nursing technology. The grant would help provide four courses to benefit juniors and seniors with the opportunity to expand in the future. The idea is to work with Eastern Gateway Community College on the program and he was planning to meet with college officials to discuss it further. “The Southern Regional Education Board has 10 different pathways you can instill in the curriculum,” he explained. “We’ve surveyed students in October for interest and health was No. 1 while STEM was No. 2. There are four courses and its project-based instruction.” He added that students could perhaps pursue such fields as nursing or X-ray technician by taking college courses and possibly doing some job shadowing. Dr. Marcy Higgins would teach the courses but must undergo some professional development training before the program begins, DelBoccio said. Supt. Thomas Cunningham said more funding was being sought and hopes were to utilize space by the campus weight room for training and labs. School officials should learn whether the funding was approved in February and hopes are to offer the pathways during the next school year. In related matters, the high school was eyeing a possible pilot project to help bolster students’ math scores before they head to college. Assistant Principal Ron Sines mentioned interest in Assessment and Learning in Knowledge Spaces, or ALEKS, which is a web-based, educational environment for grades K-12 and higher education mathematics that would be used to help prevent stu-
dents from taking remedial math in college by improving their capabilities now. “When kids are in college, they end up retaking a math class and it sets them back time- and moneywise,” he said. “ALEKS gives the high school kids an opportunity to increase their math scores without losing that time or money. We’re looking at it but will meet with people form Kent State’s East Liverpool campus. It’s similar to what we do now with EGCC in that instead of going through remedial courses, students will take the classes here,” Sines added. Leaders said the only other site to offer ALEKS is basketball great LeBron James’ Promise School in Akron. In related matters: - The board approved 1-percent administrative staff pay increases for fiscal years 2018-19 as stated in the State Teachers Retirement System contract, which will begin with the last pay of December; - Southern Local Elementary art teacher Kim Adams showed a time-lapse video of her Take Pride 3.0 project to update the school complex with creative displays and inspirational quotations. She said she, SLHS art teacher Laurie Ronshak and high school art students spent about 61 hours over Thanksgiving break completing work in one hallway of the high school, adding that others have volunteered their time to do more work. School Board President Michael Abraham praised her for the work; - DelBoccio announced the school received an excellence award from Ohio Senator Joe Schiavoni since at least 5 percent of the high school students passed the post-secondary and alternative pathways; - Officials said a series of meetings and conferences were set centering on improving test scores and ACT testing while National Honor Society students may tutor kids who are struggling in the seventh- and eighth-grades; - The board approved continuing contracts for cafeteria

Joy at this time of year is a word used for Christmas. But at Bell Herron Middle School, Joy is the name of a very important member of the education team. Joy Smith is the secretary and when she missed a day of work last week, teachers and students decided to decorate not only Joy’s office, but also the hallway. Each hallway of the school was decorated in a different theme. The sixth-grade floor was decorated as “Deck the Halls.” The seventh-grade floor was “Joy to the World.” The eighth-grade floor was decked out as a “Winter Wonderland.” When Joy returned to work the next day, she found her office decorated for Christmas, but also found an entire wall behind her desk covered with an enormous printing of her photo. Teachers went a step further and strung twinkle lights in a zigzag pattern in the hallway. Students decorated dozens of paper Christmas ornaments that all had Joy’s photo in the middle of them. The ornaments were then hung on the hanging lights. Smith said she was almost speechless and that it took a few minutes for the whole display to sink in. She still isn’t sure how they made her photo that big. Smith was touched that
Bell Herron Middle School secretary Joy Smith received a “joyful” surprise when she came to work last week. Teachers and students decorated her office and the hallway with her photos on ornaments made by students. The sign in the hallway featured not only her photo but lights and a sign that read “Joy! Sprinkle That Stuff Everywhere!”
the students made all the ornaments to go along with the fun. Teachers involved in the “Joyful” surprise were Lisa Baker, Jodie Poole, Patty Wey, Vonda Barnhart and Corwin Koppelman. Students that day each re-
ceived a small surprise from the teachers as well. When students arrived, they each found a tasty candy cane taped to their lockers. Teachers said they just wanted to make the kids smile and to remember that they really care about them.
SLES DARE Program restarts in January Southern Local Elementary School will kick off the new year with the return of the Drug Abuse Resistance Education (DARE) program in January. Columbiana County Sheriff’s Deputy Jen Tucker, who serves as the DARE officer, is scheduled to visit SLES on Jan. 2 and discuss the importance of making good decisions and avoid-
ing drugs. She will appear each Wednesday through Feb. 20 to address fifth and sixth-graders and then return to address fourth graders on Wednesdays from March 6-27. However, dates may change due to inclement weather. Larry Rudloff, school guidance counselor, said Deputy Tucker will provide a specific curricu-
lum targeting each grade level. The program, which is sponsored by the CCSO, began with the fifth and sixth grades but expanded in recent years to include second and fourth-grade classes. It starts in the fall with second-graders participating throughout October and November and impacts more than 200 students.
