Commissioners race New era to begin in Minerva Waller retires after 42 years as mayor, councilman is only contested race By KIMBERLY LEWIS FPS Editor The Village of Minerva will enter a new era on New Year’s Day as Councilman Tim Tarbet succeeds James Waller as mayor. On Tuesday, Dec. 17, Waller gave the oath of office to Tarbet and incoming councilmen Nate Meadows and Matt Kishman. The men will begin their terms Jan. 1. With family members filling council chambers, it was a bittersweet moment for Mayor James Waller who served as councilman and mayor for 42 years. It was also the last meeting for Councilwoman Becky Stoller, who lost her bid for a second term. Waller commended the men for
choosing to serve on council. “It’s seems harder to get people involved. Sometimes it is a thankless job,” he acknowledged. “We appreciate them throwing their hat in the ring.” Meadows’ parents, Lee and Darlene Meadows, were in attendance with Lee holding the Bible as his son gave the oath of office. Kishman’s girlfriend, May Bowersock, held the Bible as he took the oath of office. Both Kishman and Meadows thanked Waller and Stoller for their service to the village. “I look forward to serving and working to make the village better,” Meadows said. Tarbet’s wife, Nancy, held the Bible as he took the oath of office. “I want to thank my wife and sister for being here. I am proud to follow this guy,” he
said, referring to Waller. “Also, I want to recognize Becky. I appreciate what she has done these last four years and hope you continue to serve the community.” Waller thanked his family for “putting up with me for the last 42 years. I missed a lot of time with them for this. We (council) argued, but we enjoyed most of it. We had more disagreements at home, on what was going on and me and my bullheadedness. It was good to have someone to talk things over with.” Waller presented Tarbet with a gavel. “Hit it as much as you can,” he recommended. “Does it do magic?” Tarbet asked. Waller laughed, “No, and it doesn’t do much when you hit it either.”

New Year… New Possibilities!

Malvern Village Council members received good news Monday, Dec. 16. The village had learned last month that a property in the village, formerly Perfect Products, was going through a foreclosure sale with the sheriff’s office. Village Solicitor Chad Murdock learned the village could file a petition to receive the property. Although the petition missed the rushed deadline, Carroll County Treasurer Jeff Yeager canceled the foreclosure sale and granted the transfer of the land to the village of Malvern. The 1.96 acre property is located near the intersection of Morges Road and Grant Street. The village did not have to pay anything for this property. They did pay $51 in fees for the transfer of the property. There are a few liens on the property and they are being carefully considered and reviewed. “We would be able to put all our equipment in it. We could use it as our garage and there are a lot of possibilities with it,” said Mayor Bob DeLong. The building, at this time, has no electric or heat and portions of the roof is in very poor condition but the building would give the village options for many things in the future. Council members are still con-
sidering its uses. Council heard a presentation from two representatives from American Electric Power. They presented information about the franchise agreement that is due for the village in January. The current agreement is 50 years old. The new agreement with AEP permits the village to build infrastructure, provide power, help new businesses establish new connections and also allows for energy efficient opportunities. The upgrades will enable AEP to complete work and power restoration during outages faster. The information will be placed in the local newspaper for the public’s information. Following discussion, council approved the purchase of a new mini excavator. They will trade in the old one for $14,000 and the cost is not to exceed $30,000. In other business council: - Thanked outgoing council member Tom Holmes for his service and help to the village. Holmes wished his replacement, Jan Wackerly, good luck. Holmes did not seek re-election. - WILL consider the offer from an arborist who wishes to plant trees in the park. Council wants to know what types of trees and the locations before approving the request. - SET the first meeting in 2020 for Jan. 6 at 7 p.m. at village hall.

Still no agreement between Sherrodsville and EMS service By NANCY SCHAAR FPS Correspondent

Minerva Councilman-elect Matt Kishman, outgoing Councilwoman Becky Stoller, Councilman-elect Nate Meadows and Mayor-elect Tim Tarbet met with friends and family as the new council members received their oaths of office Tuesday night.
WALLER from PG. 1 After council finished its regular meeting, Sandy Creek Fire Chief Aaron Stoller noted, “I made a challenge to (his wife Becky) that to make change she could be an activist or spend $35 and get 25 signatures. She took me up on it and got the signatures. It cost me more during the campaign. I am very proud of her. She did a great job.” “Mayor, you have been on council as long as I have been alive. For the 25 years I have been on the fire department, you have been very supportive,” he told Waller. “Thank you for your support to the fire department.” Although it was her last meeting, Councilwoman Becky Stoller still wanted to see things done. “First, there is a pothole in front of Consumers National Bank,” she advised Service Director James Williams, who responded it was repaired. “Mayor Waller, I thank you for all you done the last 42 years. I know we had our differences, but I respect you,” she said. “It has been great working with all of you,” Stoller said. “I learned a lot of things. I will keep pushing Minerva forward.” Waller acknowledged he and Stoller did not always get along, but urged her to continue to work to make the village better. “I want to thank Jim for his service. I had a great time these last two years,” Councilman Elliott Hannen said. “Becky, you are awesome. Tim, that gavel is not a pen. Don’t throw it at me.” Hannen referred to an incident when a pen accidentally
flew across the table. “Congrats to Matt and Nate. You have two big shoes to fill,” said Councilman Mason Boldizar. “Becky and Tim have been huge for this council.” “Mayor, I enjoyed the heck out of you,” he continued. “Tim, you have big shoes to fill too. I don’t know how you will make up 42 years on council.” Administrator Phillip Turske, who was only recently hired, thanked Stoller and Waller for their service. “Becky, I promise I will get to the handbook,” Turske said. Tarbet said he was proud to serve with Stoller. “She was never afraid to step up and say something,” he noted. “Right or wrong, she said it.” He hopes she continues to serve the community. Tarbet is excited to be mayor and hopes to accomplish a quarter of the things Waller has. Tarbet pointed out Waller “was in the middle of things” and “didn’t back off from anything” when it came to the village’s huge projects over the past 40 years, including the $1.8 million improvements to the wastewater plant, new swimming pool, new fire station, the biggest block fire, the Brick Street Renovation Project and the renovation of the railroad station. Tarbet commended Waller for “keeping his head” and always caring as he conducted Mayor’s Court. Tarbet presented Waller and his wife Shirla a Joan Henninger painting of the village hall. Waller was already thinking of places to put the painting.
“I want to thank the voters and the residents of the village for their support. It does make a difference when you don’t hear thank you,” Waller said. “I have worked with super councils and four mayors. Yes we fight, but we do laugh too.” He said he learned a lot from two Carroll County judges and an Alliance judge about court but was also able to discuss other things with them. “Would I do it again? Probably not as long, but yes, I would do it again,” he said. “Will I miss it? I’ll miss it. The biggest thing I will miss is the employees. We have super employees. Sometimes I would stop by their department to solve problems, laugh or make fun of.” He also thanked the village hall and police department staff for their assistance over the years. “I will still bother you and will pester you about things,” he warned. He called for others to serve. “Get involved. It’s worth it, especially when you something done. You can say, ‘I was a part of that.’” “Younger people need to get involved to keep the village moving forward,” Waller said. A way people can be involved is to serve on a board or an advisory committee. Council is looking for nine people to serve on the village’s Charter Review Commission, which will update the charter. Committee members are not allowed to be an employee or serve on another village committee. Anyone interested may contact village hall at 330-8687705.
Firefighters respond to chimney fire Fox Township Volunteer Fire Department responded to a chimney fire at 6195 Avon Road N.E., Scroggsfield, around midnight Friday, Dec. 20. Fox Township Fire Chief Fred
Barnett said the fire was caused by the build up of creosote in the chimney and was contained to the chimney. He reminds residents using their fireplaces on these cold nights to have the
chimneys cleaned and to use dry, cured wood. Firefighters were on the scene for two hours. Carrollton Village Fire Department and Bergholz EMS provided mutual aid.
Fire destroys two homes in Amsterdam By GEORGETTE HUFF FPS Contributor Two homes in Amsterdam were destroyed by fire in the early morning hours of Friday, Dec. 20. Jason Gallagher, chief of the Amsterdam Volunteer Fire De-
partment, said the fire appeared to start in the basement of one house before spreading to the neighboring house. Both structures were located on Front Street. Gallagher said there were no injuries. In addition to the Amsterdam VFD, departments from Bergholz, East Springfield, Loud-
on Township, Unionport and Richmond responded to the incident. As of Friday afternoon, Gallagher could not release the names of occupants or property owners, and said the incident was under investigation by the state fire marshal and the Jefferson County sheriff’s department.
There is still no agreement between the proposed services of Joel Decker’s ambulance service with the Village of Sherrodsville. Decker has had a representative of his company address council several times, but has not been willing to put anything in writing to give specifics of an agreement for services with the village. Once again, council member Mike Booth spoke with Decker and said Decker verbally offered to accept the older ambulance, and provide three years of service at no cost to village residents. He said he would increase that to five years if the village would gift him the CPR dummies. Decker’s original request was for the old squad, the new squad, all equipment and all three village-owned buildings. They are the squad building, the fire department building and the state building. Village solicitor J. J. Ong said
Road reported a combative juvenile. Dec. 16 – Debris was reported lying on Lardon Road. Dec. 17 – Harassment was investigated at a Pine Street, Carrollton, residence. Dec. 17 – A patient walked away from a Lodge Road facility. Crash Report Dec. 15 - A Minerva driver turned left on Lemon Road, went over an embankment on the right and hit two trees.

ing and increase the mayor’s salary to $150 per month. Raises cannot be granted during a term of office, but since the mayor and one council member begin new terms in January, it was thought raises could be approved for them. Then approval would be given for equal raises for the rest of council as their terms expire. Ong said the raise would have to have been approved before the November election, not the Jan. 1 date. The seat currently held by Denise Melzer ends Dec. 31. If anyone is interested in serving the village as a council member, they are asked to send a letter of interest to Mayor Michelle Higgenbotham. In other business council: - LEARNED that income tax collections were estimated to be about $25,000 and so far they have collected $23,045. - APPROVED appropriations for the coming year. - WILL discuss work to be done on Dawn Road with a local contractor. - AGREED to advertise equipment for sale that is no longer needed by the village.

they still need to get Decker to put his offer in writing before council will agree to anything with him. Council received a presentation from Harry Matter of CT Consultants regarding the repairs to the road slip along State Route 212 and City View Drive. The street has not been safe for driving since the slip that happened months ago. Matter said the good news is the village has been notified they will receive $100,000 for the repair of this street and hillside but the village must pay the money up front and they will be reimbursed for the project. The village share would be $25,000. The project must be completed by October, 2020. Matter will check to see if the village share can be for work in kind, equipment use and manpower. Matter said the project must be bid out and that should be done by March of next year. He will prepare a proposal for engineering services for the January meeting. Village fiscal officer Valerie Gardner had prepared a proposal that would increase council members pay to $40 per meet-

2019 Reflections Another year has flown by and I’m writing you once again to say “Thank You” to our community, crew, friends, and family for all your support! I praise God for His continued love, faithfulness, grace, and mercy! I feel that God has revealed more of Himself to me this year as I have sought Him. The word “fear” seems to be what has stuck in my mind in 2019. A friend had mentioned to me earlier this year that his relative made decisions and lived their life based upon fear. We’ve all done this from time to time, but when he said it, I recognized that was exactly the way I had been living all these years. I have made countless choices based upon “what ifs” and worst case scenarios. I’ve prayed about it and I truly believe that God has answered me through the Bible, through other people, through circumstances, and through Holy Spirit. I believe He has told me that we don’t have to live our lives based upon the fear of “what may happen” or the unknown. We can live our lives based on the promises and assurances Jesus has given us. That’s why He came to earth; to make a way for us to be connected with our Father & fulfill all the promises He has made to us. I praise God for His revelation to me & I look forward to seeing what He has in store for us in 2020. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Sincerely,
Bill
2 Timothy 1:7 – For God hath not given is the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

A tale of two dads this holiday By GEORGETTE HUFF FPS Contributor FPS Photo / Nancy Schaar
Sherry’s Book Corner Hi kids! I hope you had the best Christmas ever! I realize this is the day after Christmas, but I could not pass up this story! It is a story about giving, even when you don’t want to. About giving something away that you love more than yourself. Have you ever been in those shoes? When we think about people who need more than we do and don’t have the chance to get it, many times that’s where we can be of help. Our story today is about such a need. Part of the title says, a dust bowl Christmas. The dust bowl times in America was a hard time for many American families. There was not enough jobs or food to go around for many. A lot of families lost everything they had except the clothes on their backs. Our main character, Paul has a calf named Ellie. On this Christmas it would be just him, Ellie, and his grandfather. Black dust clouds had destroyed Paul’s family farm, suffocated their crops and livestock, and sent his parents west in search

of work. As Paul and his grandfather finished their bowl of beans they heard a car pull in the driveway. When Paul opened the door, a couple stood side by side. The woman held a baby in her arms. The baby coughed and cried. What would this mean for Paul? Until next time, give a little each day and you will be happy for it! Your friend, Sherry Sherry Kline Bolitho Children’s Book Title: Asleep on the Hay A Dust Bowl Christmas Written and illustrated By: Ben Sowards Publisher: Ensign Peak Price: $17.99 Age group: 10-adult Available at the Carroll County District Library The man who wrote this book is the illustrator of many we-loved picture books, including Christmas Oranges, A Christmas Dress for Ellen, and Seven Miracles that Saved America. This is his first book as being an author. Ben Sowards grew up listening to his grandmother tell stories of her childhood in the panhandle during the Dust Bowl. Ben and his grandmother loved doing puzzles together. They still do. You can assemble your own Christmas puzzle at AsleepontheHay.com. The beautiful illustrations bring peace to this story.
Rory Rembert, of Malvern, and Scott Tasker, of Carrollton, have been friends for a long time. Scott’s girlfriend, Wendy Elifritz, doesn’t know exactly how long, only that they have known each other since high school. Since both are 42 years old, and in fact were born just days apart – Rory on Nov. 7, and Scott on Nov. 20, in 1967 - they met 25
years ago, more or less. It’s safe to say, that over the span of a quarter of a century, the two have shared myriad activities and adventures, some perhaps reminiscent of a certain Clint Eastwood film, “The Good, The Bad, and …,” well, never mind, that was then. Nowadays, Rory is a plumber and Scott works for Williams Compression. We know that readers may wonder, what’s the big deal? It’s a story as old as time. On another day, we might agree, except that recently, un-
expectedly and coincidentally within weeks of each other, both became first-time fathers. Scott and Wendy, who is a stylist at the Hair Gallery in Carrollton and has two grown daughters from a previous marriage, welcomed Mitchell on Oct. 1. Then, on Nov. 8, Rory’s wife Brooke, a preschool teacher, gave birth to their first child, a son they’ve named Lander. For us, this story as a gentle reminder that Christmas miracles happen when you least expect them, which, of course, is why they’re called “miracles.”

Carroll Hills students enjoy field trips Can you believe the holidays are quickly approaching? Over the past few months, the students in the Pre-K all day class at Carroll Hills school have completed units on farm, fall and now are working through their Christmas Unit. The students are getting to have hands on experiences as teachers are incorporating more technology into the classroom. The students have also went on field trips to a pumpkin patch and the local fire station. In November, all the preschool classes at Carroll Hills collaborated and held a preschool Thanksgiving Feast to celebrate the holiday. Students are looking forward to celebrating the rest of the holiday season in Pre-K as teachers continue to help the students grow within the classroom.
Students in the pre-K all-day class at Carroll Hills School recently enjoyed several field trips, including one to the Carrollton Village Fire Station. The students are seen above in front of one of the village’s fire trucks.

It was December 1944 when their family auto trip to Grandma’s house had been canceled because of gas rationing, so they made the trip by train. Father, mother and a nine-yearold daughter found their coach, handed their tickets to the conductor and climbed aboard. The coach was crowded with servicemen who were on their way to the coast where they would board ships for Europe. As this family of three entered the crowded coach, two soldiers quickly rose and gave their seats to the mother and daughter. This was quite a sacrifice because there was no place else to sit except on their sea bags in the aisle or perch on the arm of other seats. Another quickly offered his seat to the father, but he refused and thanked those who offered their seats for his family. The young servicemen were friendly and soon began to chat.
“I’ve got a little sister about her age,” said one. A couple of others complimented the father and mother on their pretty child, and the little girl really enjoyed the attention. One of the soldiers began playing a harmonica and those around him began to sing. Soon there was an old fashioned singalong in progress. They sang old time songs like – Oh Susanna, Clementine, My Wild Irish Rose and many others. The family sang right along with them, including the little girl. The father had a very good singing voice and led many of the songs to the delight of the soldiers and his daughter. One of the soldiers was a very good sketch artist and began drawing pictures of his surroundings. He drew pictures of the family and a separate one of the little girl. He then presented his drawings to the family, which they considered the best Christmas present they received that year. The train had no dining car, so everyone had come prepared with food. The men all had
sack lunches prepared for them by their base chow hall. The family had their own bagged lunches they had brought from home and a big box of cookies they were taking to Grandma’s house, which they shared with the soldiers to their delight. It was like a big picnic with everyone sharing and exchanging goodies. This is a scene that may have happened over and over during World War II. All would remember that train ride. But – I imagine that family of three often wondered about those soldiers they met on that December train ride. Did they survive the war? What did the future hold for those kind soldiers who gave their seat to the mother and child? What happened to the harmonica player? We should never forget them. There are many of our service men and women who will be away from their families this Christmas season also. Pleas keep them in your prayers. Charles Pearson is the chaplain for the Malvern Legion Post 375 and Carrollton VFW Post 3301.

ing the shelves of our Warrior Clothing Closet. Within weeks the shelves were full, and bins were filled with new toiletry items, household cleaning items, clothes and shoes. Families are invited to come “shop” the free closet several times per year, and the clothing is always available to students and their families in emergencies. Last school year, more than 250 students in grades pre-K thru 12 received support from our CARE Team. Many of those students received clothing from the Warrior Closet. Families tell us our clothing closet and backpack weekend food program are making a huge difference by lifting some of the burdens they feel providing for these necessities at home. Thank you again for your support. From all of us at Carrollton Schools, we wish you the happiest of holidays and a healthy and prosperous new year!
Carrollton Schools Superintendent As I reflect on the events of the past year, I must say we are truly blessed in this community. Day after day, I hear about the generosity and support of our local businesses, staff and residents. Whether it’s paying off a lunch account, donating clothing, food, or gifts for those in need, or sponsoring a club or team, you are making a significant impact on the lives of our students! One area that has benefitted significantly due to the support of our community is our CARE Team program. The CEVSD CARE Team serves students who have non-academic barriers that could keep them from being successful in school. In November, we put out a Facebook post asking for help fill-

Malvern Elementary implements literacy intervention for students reading below grade level This year, Malvern Elementary School is implementing Reading Recovery®, a literacy intervention to support students who are reading below grade level. Reading Recovery® is a proven, one-on-one literacy intervention for the lowest-achieving first graders. Through the course of the year, eight students will work with a reading specialist
for 12 to 20 weeks receiving daily 30-minute lessons. After a full series of lessons, approximately 72% of students achieve grade-level reading and writing standards (Reading Recovery® Council of North America). Reading Recovery® has been around and thoroughly researched for over 30 years. In fact, What Works Clearinghouse has given Reading Recov-
ery® the highest possible rating for general reading achievement for a beginning reading program. Because of this, Malvern teachers are excited to be putting such a reputable program to work in their school. The staff looks forward to the growth of the district’s students’ reading abilities thanks to Reading Recovery®.
