Carroll County Common Pleas Judge Michael Repella II speaks to the large crowd attending his swearing in ceremony Thursday, Dec. 20, in the Common Pleas Courtroom.

Repella sworn in as common pleas judge

By KIMBERLY LEWIS FPS Editor Attorney Michael Repella II was sworn in as the Carroll County Common Pleas Court Judge by Ohio Supreme Court Justice Sharon Kennedy Thursday, Dec. 20, with his family and large crowd of supporters looking on.

Repella’s wife, Sarah, held the Bible as Repella gave the oath of office as his children Michael III, Samuel and Caroline; parent Michael and Roseann Repella; in-laws Everett and Margaret Todd; and grandfather Jim Smith look on.

“Today is a new day in Carroll County,” said Justice Kennedy, calling on Repella to uphold the U.S. and state Constitutions and to “renew the trust”

and to do his duty - fair and impartial.

She commended his goal of starting a Drug Treatment Court to assist Carroll County residents who are “fighting the demons of substance abuse and to give them a possible choice of treatment.”

Kennedy called providing treatment options to substance abusers as a blessing for the family, friends and neighbors of the abuser and to make Carroll County a better place.

Repella admitted to being overwhelmed, noting he would have called a person crazy for saying he would become a judge 15 years ago, let alone eing sworn in by a Ohio supreme court justice and with Appellate Court Justice Carol Ann Robb, retired judge William Martin and retired judge John Weyand in attendance. His wife agreed.

“Thank you so much for your sup-

port,” he told the crowded courtroom.

As a young attorney, he explained that he was initially intimindated by the judges, and then realized they had bosses with the court of appeals. He said he put the Supreme Court judges on a pedestal.

He thanked his family for their support and their sacrifices.

“I went to judge school last week. I didn’t know that was a real thing,” he acknowledged with a laugh. “They spoke about our judicial reputation.

‘Who are you going to be?’”

“I still want to be the same Mike I am today six years from now. I want to be the person the county has confidence in. You may not always agree with me, but I will be fair and just.”

A Sherrodsville man is facing multiple charges in two counties and is being held in the Carroll County Jail on a $500,000 cash or surety bond.

Tristan Shepherd, 23, of 2000 Taft St., Sherrodsville, was arrested Wednesday night, Dec. 19, after an approximately 50-mile, high-speed chase through three counties involving four law-enforcement agencies. A trooper was injured during the chase and three cruisers, two Ohio State Highway Patrol and the other, a Carrollton Police Department, were damaged.

Carroll County Municipal Court Judge Gary Willen set Shepherd’s bond Thursday, Dec. 20, on charges filed by the Carrollton Police Department that include failure to comply with an order or signal of a police office, a third-degree felony; operating a vehicle under the influence, reckless operation and marked lanes. A preliminary hearing was set for Dec. 26 in Municipal Court on the failure to comply with all four charges.

The Ohio State Highway Patrol has filed both criminal and traffic charges against Shepherd. On Dec. 20, Stark County Judge Curt Werren found probable cause on three charges, operating a vehicle under the influence (fourth-degree felony), failure to comply with order of police officer (third-degree felony) and aggravated vehicular assault (second-degree felony) and issued a warrant for Shepherd with a $50,000 cash or surety bond.

Additionally, Werren issued a warrant with a $1,000 cash or 10 percent surety on a misdemeanor charge of

criminal damaging or endangering. In traffic court, Shepherd has a bond set on a warrant of $1,000 cash, suretly or 10 percent plus costs for no seat belt (minor misdemeanor), reckless operation (minor misdemeanor), driving under fiscal responsibility act suspension second offense (unclassified misdemeanor), and driving under OVI suspension third offense (unclassified misdemeanor).

According to Carrollton Sgt. Geno Cook, Patrolman Mike Middleton had just finished following up on a hit-skip accident in a parking lot on Canton Road Wednesday night around 10:10 p.m. when he noticed a 1999 white Ford F-250 truck pull out onto Canton Road from Speedway North spinning its tires and fishtailing from side to side. Middleton spun his cruiser around in an attempt to stop the driver for the offense and activated his overhead lights. The driver failed to comply while passing another motorist from the center turn lane. Middleton activated his siren after Shepherd continued southbound on Canton Road onto Moody Avenue where he went off the left side of the road shearing off a traffic sign.

Shepherd continued traveling on several county roads heading toward Waynesburg when Capt. John Kampfer and Deputy Herda from the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office joined in to assist with the chase. Sheriff Dale Williams said his deputies assisted Middleton as Shepherd entered Stark County because there were no cruisers available from Magnolia and Waynesburg police departments and Stark County Sheriff’s Office.

Remembering Rosie Run for Rosie donates to Carroll County Caring Hands

By KIMBERLY LEWIS FPS Editor

Run for Rosie remembered its namesake, Roselyn Derby, on her birthday by making donations to two organizations.

On Roselyn’s birthday, Dec. 19, her mother, Linda Moreland, and her cousin, Tonya Myers, presented $600 to Debbie Herrington for Carroll County Caring Hands on behalf of Run for Rosie.

Run for Rosie was a 5-K race organized by Moreland and Myers following Roselyn’s death in October 2010 and held in Roselyn’s memory as part of the Carroll County Relay for Life.

The annual race raised more than $87,000 in five years for the Carroll County Relay for Life and the American Cancer Society.

Run for Rosie partnered with family,

more inside

friends and Carroll County Run for God to “work together and build an amazing race and support for one another,” Myers explained.

Some of Run for Rosie’s members additionally raised more than $10,000 by participating in the “Brrrr for the Cure” event at Lake Milton.

The group also participated in Stark County Strides walks, raising even more funds for American Cancer Society.

The $600 donation to Carroll County Caring Hands will provide assistance to Carroll County residents with expenses that stem from medical-related issues, such as the result of an accident, injury, diagnosis, treatments or chronic condition. Carroll County Caring Hands is a local 501(c)3 tax-deductible charity and is able to provide gas

Gotschall is named health commissioner

By NANCY SCHAAR FPS Correspondent Dr. Wendy Gotschall has served the Carroll County Health District as interim health commissioner since April of 2018.

The Health Board members hired Gotschall as interim director after the resignation last March of former commissioner Leann Cline.

Gotschall holds a Doctorate in Nursing Practice from Walsh University. She serves as adjunct faculty for Aultman College and Walsh University and is currently teaching Leadership and Health Promotion and Assessment class.

She is Senior Vice President at Aultman Hospital and has over 18 years of executive experience and is responsible for budgets totaling over $50 million in expenses each year.

Gotschall received overwhelming approval and thanks from board members and Board President Dr. W. Scott Stine.

Gotschall was hired following a turbulent time with the health department during the last year of Cline’s employment. Much of the controversy stemmed

from the faulty budget presented by the fiscal officer hired by Cline.

Many changes have occurred in the last year at the health department with Office Administrator Amy Campbell stepping up and handling many of Cline’s duties.

“Wendy is willing and able to continue as part-time health commissioner. It is working quite well. We, as a board, are very enthusiastic having Wendy continue,” said Stine.

In other business the board: - APPROVED the proposed 2019 budget draft as presented.

- REPORTED that Mary Passwaters has successfully had a new well drilled and water has been restored to the residence.

- APPROVED adjustments to several program account balances.

- HIRED Kristen Long as the Public Health Nursing Clerk at $10 per hour, 40 hours per week, effective Dec. 21, 2018.

- MET in executive session to discuss the appointment of a public employee.

- PRESENTED the meeting schedule for 2019. Meetings will continue to be held on the third Wednesday in the lower level of the health department at 5:30 p.m.

CHASE from PG. 1 Cook reported Shepherd continued into Waco where he was met by multiple officers from the Canton City Police Department who deployed stop sticks near the intersection of U.S. Route 30 and state Route 43.

“Except for the one car on Canton Road, there were very few vehicles on the road,” Cook noted. “There wasn’t any traffic until Waco, but I think the number of lights (from cruisers) warned people there was something going on and they got off the road.”

Cook said the stop sticks punctured Shepherd’s front tires, losing air slowly in an effort to bring the vehicle safely to a stop. Despite the loss of tire pressure, Shepherd continued northbound on Interstate 77 where officers from Carrollton, Carroll County Sheriff’s Office, Canton Police and Ohio State Highway Patrol were attempting to get Shepherd to stop. According to Cook, the tires fell on its rims around the Tuscarawas Street exit, but Shepherd continued north rear-ending a trooper’s cruiser sending him off the right side of the road and striking the front of the

REPELLA from PG. 1 FPS Photo / Kimberly Lewis

Ohio Supreme Court Justice Sharon Kennedy gives Michael Repella II the oath of office for Carroll County Common Pleas Court as his family and supporters look on.

The Brown Local Board of Education has purchased an adjacent property to the school for needed school bus parking.

At the Dec. 17 meeting, the Board voted to purchase the property at 7140 Sycamore Rd. NW, Malvern, currently owned

by Michael and Barbara Detchon, at a cost of $37,625.

According to Brown Local School Supt. Scott Bowling, the Board previously purchased the house at the back side of our current campus beside the property and decided to have both properties to use in that area to park our buses once everything is ready.

“We currently have to park our buses off campus, which was the only option when the school was at the old location on W. Main St. Now that we have more room, we can save the extra expense that we incurred when we parked them off-site,” he said.

“We anticipate this purchase

will eventually pay for itself for that reason,” Bowling added.

In other business, the Board: - APPROVED five supplemental contracts including: Doug Wood, assistant varsity track coach; Irishe Spurgeon, Excellence Committee; Victoria McKinney, elementary girls basketball; Falon Jones, Detention monitor, and Nicolette Carnahan, Home instructor.

- APPROVED Angela Casebolt as a classified substitute; - APPROVED Jodi Watson as a bus driver; - APPROVED bills totaling $322,656.91; - APPROVED membership in the Ohio School Boards Association at a cost of $3,1107 and the Ohio School Boards Association Legal Assistance fund in the amount of $250; - HELD a 40-minute executive session to discuss the hiring and/or termination of a public employee and the purchase of property.

Guest Column Finding Your Ancestors

By NANCY SCHAAR FPS Correspondent, Historian & Professional Genealogist

Christmas family get togethers are a great place to gather information about your family history.

When you begin looking for ancestors, you have to begin with the generation closest to you. Talking to grandparents is a great place to start.

They can tell you the names of their parents, birthplaces and where they are buried.

They can tell about war service, where they worked, stories from their childhood, church related events, weddings and adventures and escapades. Grandparents hold a vast storage of family information.

If you find a blank and need to find dates for birth, death, marriage, burial, then you know to start research.

Your local genealogical society will have court records, copies of them, or have them available on microfilm for you to search through. Many public libraries will also have a genealogical section with records for you to search.

If you need a death record from Ohio, they can be found in the probate department of most court houses. The more recent years, since 1960 or so, are normally found at county health departments.

Although Ohio was formed in 1803, and courthouses were established in the counties as they formed, the State of Ohio did keep records. From the beginning they kept wills, estates records, deeds, and various court proceedings. But the state did not keep birth or death records until 1867. It was not required by the law of Ohio until 1908.

A death record tells you much more than just a name, a date, and cause. Ohio death records contain the name, the date of death, the age at the time of death, the parents’ names, the place of birth, the cause of death, whether they are male or female, married, single, or widowed and the undertakers name and/or burial location, and of course the town, township and county where the person had died.

In most instances the death record can take you back at least one generation. With that much information a lot of doors open up for further research. You can check the cemetery where they are buried and you will almost always find more family members and ones from earlier gen-

erations too.

The death record information will also lead you to find an obituary which will identify spouses, siblings, and details about the person’s life.

A birth record is also a wonderful resource that will provide more than just name and date.

These were not kept in Ohio until 1867 either. And for more recent ones, you would have to visit the health department as you do for death records.

A birth record in Ohio will tell you the name of the baby, the date of birth, the location of the birth such as town, township, and county. It will also provide the mother and father’s names, where the parents were living, whether male or female, and race.

In many cases due to the high infant mortality rate, a child was not named immediately at birth. In these cases, the record is filed under the last name of the father and under Infant for the baby’s name.

The records are in alphabetical order by the last name of the father. Then the records are sorted by the first name of the babies.

For example, if you need a birth record for John Williams, who is the son of Charles Williams, and you don’t find him in the J section for John, then you need to look in the C section under Williams, Charles.

The pioneers did not make regular trips to the county seat and births and deaths were rarely recorded within a few days.

The township trustee would gather the names of births and deaths and turn them in to the courthouse every three months.

On many death records, the place of birth or parents’ names may not be given and will just state unknown. Remember that does not mean the parents did not know that information. It just means the township trustee who turned in the information did not know the names or places to provide them.

Enjoy your time with your family. Circumstances can change in a moment. Ask the questions now while you are still fortunate enough to have your parents, grandparents, or even great grandparents, or maybe more.

The older generation is full of stories of their childhoods from 70 or 80 years ago and they can tell stories that their parents, your great grandparents, told them. They love to talk about those days gone by. It is important to them. And to share with a child or grandchild, will make them smile all day.

Just start asking the questions.

Merry Christmas!

Lest We Forget

By CAPT. CHARLES PEARSON

U.S. Marine Corps, ret.

More than 22,000 American nurses were recruited to serve in the U.S. Armed Forces between 1917-1919, and more than 10,000 served admirably in Europe near the Western Front during World War I. Another 1,500 served in the U.S. Navy. Several hundred worked for the Red Cross and some worked in U.S. Units attached to the British and French armies.

There were 120 combat-related casualties suffered by American women during World War I. Marion G. Crandel, a canteen worker, was killed by enemy fire in Ste. Merehould, France. Two days later, nurse Ruth Landen was killed by a German shell on March 29, 1918, while tending to an injured soldier. Army nurse Glorietta Trivett helped pull wounded soldiers out of the trenches and was cited for bravery under fire by General Pershing.

During the battle of Belleau Wood in June 1918, hundreds and hundreds of wounded poured into the medical tents.

Army nurse Eula Crow wrote in her diary that the packed,

twisted bodies, the screams and groans, made her think of Dante’s Inferno. Conditions were no better near the old St. Mihiel salient south of Verdun France and even worse in the forest west of Chemin des Dames, 80 miles northeast of Paris, where three major World War I battles took place. Resupplying the nurses there was a major challenge.

In every field hospital, evacuation stations or clearing houses, American nurses faithfully discharged their duties as they dealt with the stench of gangrene, the heart-wrenching, shell-shock cases and shelling from enemy lines. In the second half of World War I, the nurses had to deal with a new scourge. Hundreds of fevered soldiers and Marines, and the nurses who cared for them, succumbed to Spanish Influenza.

That disease spread around the world and in 11 months killed more people than the war itself.

We must never forget what a wonderful part our nurses play for our military personnel and their families. Please keep them all in your prayers.

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

The Carroll County 4-H Advisory Committee Chris Ulman Benefit Dinner and Auction Chairperson

Dear Editor: I represent two local Christian charities and would like to thank the community for its generous support of the Loaves and Fishes Food Pantry and the Carrollton unit of the Salvation Army.

The Loaves and Fishes Food Pantry is sponsored by the Carroll County Ministerial Association and serves about 350 client households each month. Generous donations of funds and food have been received from individuals, clubs, civic organizations, churches and school groups. Sanders Market and Betty Kaye Bakery provide weekly donations. The facility on Moody Avenue is provided rentfree by the Sisters of the Good Shepherd Convent. A core of about 40 volunteers staff the pantry and make weekly truck runs to the Akron Food Bank. The Rotary Club provides staffing for our evening distribution each month.

Anyone wishing to donate to the food pantry may mail contributions to Loaves and Fishes, P.O. Box 551, Carrollton.

The Carrollton unit of the Salvation Army has also been generously supported by our community. Special thanks to those local merchants who have allowed “kettle-bell ringing” during this Christmas season: Sanders Market, Ponderosa, Drug Mart, Tractor Supply, and Dollar General Market. (Special thanks to Dollar General Market for reversing an earlier corporate-level decision not to allow bell-ringing.) Thanks to the many volunteers who have done the bell-ringing.

The Salvation Army provides emergency assistance with utility and rent payments and other urgent needs. Those wishing to donate should mail contributions to Salvation Army, P.O. Box 635, Carrollton. Carrollton area residents are urged not to respond to mail appeals from Cleveland Salvation Army because those funds may not return to benefit our local community.

Again, thanks to all who help our community by supporting these two local charities. Anyone desiring further information may call 330-627-2917.

Traffic safety programming continues in Carroll County The Carroll County General Health District will continue to provide traffic safety programming in Carroll County through the Safe Communities program.

The Ohio Department of Public Safety’s (ODPS) Ohio Traffic Safety Office (OTSO) awards $25,000 to Carroll County to implement traffic safety education and awareness.

The goal of Safe Communities is to prevent traffic related fatalities and injuries in Carroll County. Grant funds will be used to address seat belt use, speed, motorcycle safety, impaired and distracted driving.

The increase in traffic within Carroll County continues to be a concern and one reason why we need to address traffic safety issues, especially with young drivers.

Increasing and maintaining seat belt use among Carroll County drivers and passengers will continue to be one of the focus areas for Safe Communities Carroll County. Wearing a seat belt is the single most effective way to reduce fatalities in motor vehicle crashes. According to an Observational Seat Belt Survey conducted by Miami University of Ohio; Carroll County’s seat belt restraint use remains at 92.0%; however, this data indicates that 8% of

the population is still not wearing a seat belt. Safe Communities Carroll County will also be implementing activities to educate and reinforce the dangers of distracted driving and driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs through events, simulators, activities, and educational materials; and will also be working to increase motorcycle safety and addressing the consequences of driving at unsafe speeds within Carroll County.

As of Oct. 11, Carroll County has had three traffic-related fatalities for the year. In 2017, Carroll County ended the year with five traffic-related fatalities. “The year is not over yet.

We still have a lot of work to do in Carroll County for the remainder of 2018. Traffic safety issues and concerns still need to be addressed and we need to increase traffic safety awareness through education and media to help prevent traffic related fatalities and injuries in Carroll County,” said Natasha Yonley, Safe Communities Carroll County Coordinator.

Safe Communities Carroll County is led by the Carroll County General Health District. If you would like more information on Safe Communities Carroll County or would like to become a member and

assist in addressing traffic safety concerns within Carroll County, please contact Natasha Yonley, Safe Communities Carroll County Coordinator at 330-627-4866 ext. 1526 or email nyonley@carroll-lhd. org. For more information on Safe Communities Carroll County, please visit: http://carroll-lhd.org/health-education/ safe-communities.

Safe Communities funds are passed through OTSO from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to support the efforts of safety partners statewide and focus on traffic safety priority areas such as restraint use, impaired driving, motorcycle safety and youthful drivers. Competitive grant proposals are accepted and reviewed by OTSO. The FFY 2019 competitive grant process solicited grant proposals from state agencies, non-profit organizations, colleges, universities, hospitals, political subdivisions and other interested groups within selected Ohio counties and jurisdictions (based upon the number of fatal crashes).

Steeple to Street There is a word in the language of Christmas that seems very out of place. That big, bad word is “government.”

We hear a lot about government every day. The word brings to mind thoughts about taxes, politicians, campaigns, policies and regulations we don’t like, rumors of corruption and deceit. We get frustrated with failed governmental attempts to deal with society’s great problems. Yes, the big, bad word government does seem out of place in the language of Christmas, but there it is, right in the middle of the Christmas scripture: A child is to be born, a son given, “and the government shall be upon His shoulder.” Centuries later, when Herod asked where Messiah was to be born, the correct answer was given: out of Bethlehem is to come the one who will rule and govern.

What we forget is that “Peace” (which sounds very much like a Christmas word) can really only come where there is powerful and wise and just government. Peace is a sense of safety, security, harmony and wellbeing. Where there is a lack of good government, there is chaos, confusion, fear, danger and suffering. Man needs government.

He needs to be liberated and protected. He needs

order to regulate his life in order to live in harmony with his neighbor. Unfortunately, man is born a selfish greedy rebel. He cannot really live an orderly peaceful life because he is either selfishly taking advantage of someone else or suffering as a victim of someone else’s selfishness.

The good news is that a Savior has come who can liberate people from the bondage of sin and selfishness. The Prince of Peace can bring to the trusting, converted heart a genuine desire to be ruled from within by the great King of Kings who is meek and lowly of heart. When we truly accept the government of Jesus as Lord of our life. He brings to us a wonderful sense of peace, security and wellbeing.

The best is yet to be, for someday He will rule the whole world. He will shoulder the responsibility of providing truly good government. So great will be the peace of His New Order that even the lamb and lion will lay down together and a child safely lead them. Yes, Christmas is all about government. “Let earth receive her King!”

Hi kids! Have you ever attended an after Christmas party? Well, if you haven’t you are going to now!

How many of you have ever heard of Pippi Longstocking? She is a funny little girl with long red braids. In 1950, the author Astrid Lindgren introduced a book of the same name. She has written several different books with Pippi being the main character. Here in the United States the books have never been out of print. They have even inspired several feature films, plays, and videos. This book was published in Sweden in the 1950s. This is the first time it has been available in English!

I found Pippi to be a very exciting and caring friend, but I don’t know about Mrs. Finkvist.

For some reason she doesn’t like children... but she loves cream cakes. Now tell me, what would you think of a person like Mrs. Finkvist who invites herself to your after-Christmas party? Would you let her attend? After all, all the children in town were welcome. Why would Mrs. Finkvist want to surround herself with all the town’s children?

Children’s Book: Title: Pippi Longstocking After-Christmas Party Author: Astrid Lindgren Illustrated by: Michael Chesworth Publisher: Viking Price: $13.99 Age group: 8-12 Available at the Carroll County District Library Christmastime in Sweden is celebrated with a number of unique traditions. One typically Swedish Christmas tradition is that of stripping or “plundering” the tree before it is taken down.

That’s why Pippi’s party is an after-Christmas party. Pippi also makes two new friends during this event, Elof and Perk!

Wintery snow and children with laughing faces make up this fine book about friendship and sharing. And the Christmas tree is a fine character as well.

Pasiuk cousins named CHS Students of the Month Two first cousins – Ben and Layna Pasiuk, have been named Students of the Month for December at Carrollton High School where both are seniors.

Ben, son of Ken and Chris Pasiuk of 5167 Avalon Rd. NW, Carrollton, is a member of the wrestling team and National Honor Society at CHS. He also attends church at Grace Chapel where he serves as an usher.

Ben has two brothers, Caleb, 22, who is a graduate of Mount Union University and Aidan, 19, a sophomore at Wheeling Jesuit University. His hobbies include wrestling, hanging out with friends and spending time with family.

Upon graduation, Ben will attend West Point Military Academy where he will continue his academic and athletic career.

Ben plans to study biology at West Point and enter the medical field.

When asked what teacher, coach, family member or special friend has influenced him and why, Ben replied: My dad has had a major influence on my life. He has pushed me past my limits in wrestling, has always been encouraging and made me the man I am today. Mrs. Incerpi has influenced me in the classroom. She has taught me many different skills throughout my high school career and pushed me in my academics to strive to do the absolute best I can. She also has a great sense of humor.

In offering advice for success in life, Ben quoted:

LAYNA PASIUK

“Life’s not about how hard you hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward”. - Rocky Balboa.

This quote can relate to anyone because life has its rough patches. But those are not what you are defined by. You are defined by how you respond to those hard times and keep pushing past them to reach the goals you set for yourself in life, Ben added.

Layna is the daughter of Kevin and Tally Pasiuk of 7080 Cavalry Rd., Amsterdam. She is a member of the track and soccer teams, band, Prayer Warriors, Student Council and National Honor Society at CHS. Layna is also a member of a youth group and has one brother, Mason, 19, a college sophomore.

Her hobbies include making paper snowflakes. “I started in 2014 and have made 48 of them since then,” she said.

Upon graduation, Layna plans

to attend Youngstown State University and pursue a degree in early childhood education.

When asked what teacher, coach, family member or special friend has influenced her and why, she said: My mother has helped influence me in my career choice because she is an elementary school teacher and her passion for teaching children has shown me that I want to do the same.

In offering advice for success in life, Layna replied: Keep a positive attitude even when things get tough.

As Students of the Month, both Ben and Layna become eligible for a $500 scholarship provided by McFadden Insurance Co. to one boy and one girl at the conclusion of the 2018-19 school year.

They also will have their pictures displayed on the wall at CHS and be treated to lunch by CHS Principal David Davis.

CHS wrestlers remain unbeaten with 52-15 win over Dukes

By JORDAN MILLER

Sports Editor

ALLIANCE - Another week, another dominate performance by the Carrollton wrestling team.

The Warriors defeated the Marlington Dukes 52-15 to remain unbeaten in the Eastern Buckeye Conference (EBC).

The EBC dual started at 106 lbs.

Carrollton’s David Woolever pinned Marlington’s Aiden Dugan 1:28 into the 106 lb. match to give Carrollton a 6-0 lead.

The Dukes tied it at 6-6 with a first period pin of their own in the 113 lb. match.

Carrollton sophomore Brandon Brown pinned Marlington’s James Aebi-Manion a minute into the 120 lb. match to give the Warriors a 12-6 lead.

Freshman Domanick Speelman added to the Warriors lead with a 12-2 major decision over Brenden Hamilton.

Carrollton led 16-6.

In the 132 lb. match, Carrollton junior Robbie Hoopes was taken down in the first period by Mason McCarty.

Trailing 2-0, Hoopes escaped McCarty’s grip :25 into the second period and took him down to take a 32 lead. McCarty tied the match up at 3-3 with an escape in the third. With :49 left in the third period, McCarty took Hoopes down to the mat to and won 5-3. Marlington trailed 16-9.

Carrollton went on to win eight straight matches.

Sophomore Nate Blake started the streak with a 23-4 tech fall win at 138 lbs.

It only took Blake :15 to takedown his opponent, Marlington’s Joe Heeter. He led 10-2 at the end of the first period en route to his 19-point win.

“Nate Blake has the biggest heart on

the team,” Carrollton wrestling coach Ken Pasiuk said. “We all have big hearts but he has been injured and he’s nursing his injuries. It’s hard to keep him off the mat; he wants to be on the mat for himself but also for the team.

He doesn’t want to disappoint himself or the team. He goes hard the entire match. It’s exciting, you never know what’s going to happen. He could be on his back one minute and have the kid on his back the next minute.”

Connor Clark won by a 10-1 major

decision over Marlington’s Michael Varner. Colby Moore added another major decision for the Warriors, defeating Nolan Hooker 14-1.

Carrollton senior Ben Pasiuk won the 160 lb. match by a 17-2 tech fall over Josh Aebi-Manion.

Carrollton’s Brandon Daniels recorded the fastest pin of the night in the 170 lb. match, pinning Marlington’s Luke DeBee :10 into the first period.

Down 4-3 late in the thid period,

Carrollton’s Jaret Lane picked up a pair of back points against Colton Kerns to win the 182 lb. match 5-4.

Chase Baxter pinned Marlington’s Zach Dine :48 into the 195 lb. match.

Seth Brown capped off the Warriors eight-match win streak with a 7-1 decision over Masyn Creager at 220 lbs.

Marlington’s Riley Bray pinned Carrollton’s JT Richardson in the second period of the 285 lb. match.

Following the Warriors win, Coach Ken Pasiuk praised his wrestlers

attitude this season.

“They’re aggressive, they’re wrestling hard and they believe in themselves,” Pasiuk said. “They’re listening and they’re trusting their team and the coaches.”

“I also like the way they’re handling themselves to defeats to,” he said.

“Winning matches is important, I think as a team, but obviously, I want to win them all.”

The Warriors are set to be back in action Dec. 28-29 at the Wheeling Park Duals.

Carrollton senior Drue Moore looks for a teammate to pass the ball to. Moore and the Warriors took on the Minerva Lions last week.

You could tell it was a rivalry game Friday when the Minerva Lions hosted the Carrollton Warriors in an Eastern Buckeye Conference (EBC) clash. The stands were full, the student sections were large and load. The atmosphere was full of hostility. The stars were aligning and this was going to be a matchup for the ages.

The first quarter was back and forth with some big baskets from both teams.

Minerva’s Senior Brice Williams connected on two three pointers and a field goal while Carrollton’s Senior Drue Moore answered back with two big three’s and a two point jump shot of his own. Minerva’s Senior Phillip Board added 3 baskets from the floor in the opening quarter while Carrollton’s Junior Adam Chaney hit a long ball and a layup adding five more points to Carrollton’s total. Minerva’s senior Taylor Lowmiller chipped in tow points in the quarter and Carrollton’s Junior Andrew Gotschall hit a two pointer bringing the Warriors within one point at the end of the first period, Minerva 16 Carrollton 15.

Scoring slowed down a bit for both teams in the second quarter but Minerva was able to get some new offense from Seniors Reece Catlett and Brandon Baumgardner who added five points each to the Lions total score.

Boord chipped in two additional points for the home team. The Warriors also had a new contributor on the scoreboard when Junior Brady Brenner added five points and Senior Conner King scored two points. Minerva outscored the Warriors by one point in the second quarter taking a 28-26 lead into halftime.

Minerva’s Williams put on a show in the third quarter connecting on three baskets and Boord added another two points to his scoring onslaught for the

night. Carrollton’s Benner scored six points of his own in the quarter while Moore added a bucket. The Lions once again outscored the Warriors by one point in the quarter taking a 37-34 advantage into the final frame.

In the fourth quarter Minerva added 17 huge points to solidify the game and stifled the Warriors keeping them to 10 for the quarter giving the Lions a 10 point margin of victory with a final score of 54-44.

Minerva scored 30 points in the paint compared to Carrollton’s 16 which as the difference in the game.

Minerva’s Brice Williams finished with 20 points and eight rebounds.

Williams went six for seven from the free throw line. Phillip Boord totaled 14 points, four rebounds and three steals.

Brady Benner led the way for the Warriors with 15 points, five rebounds and two steals. Drue Moore added 13 points, five rebounds and five assists.

Carrollton won the junior varsity game 40-32. The rematch will take place in Carrollton on January 25.

The Carrollton Warrior boys basketball team played a very competitive game against the defending Inter-Valley Conference (IVC) champions Sandy Valley Cardinals during their home opener this past Tuesday. The visiting Sandy Valley Cardinals came into the nonconference match up with six wins and one loss. Carrollton gave them everything they could handle and then some, but fell short of the victory with a final score of 58 to 48.

The Warriors fall to 1-6 overall and 11 in the EBC and will host the West Branch Warriors on Friday with junior varsity Action starting at 5:30 PM. The Lions pick up their first win of the season improving their record to 1-5 and 1-3 in the EBC. The Lions host Canton South in an EBC clash on Friday with junior varsity action starting at 5:30 PM.

Mark Hundley, Minerva’s newly hired head football coach, talks to Minerva football players about his expectations for the 2019 season.

MINERVA - After four consecutive winless seasons, the Minerva Lions hope they have found their guy to lead them success.

Lance Willison, who led the Lions since 2016, recently stepped down from his position. The Minerva Local School Board held a special board meeting to name Mark Hundley the next head football coach at Minerva High School.

Hundley brings thirty-plus years of coaching experience to the program.

He was the first head coach at Dublin Jerome High School in 2004. While at Jerome High School, he led the program to the OHSAA playoffs twice

during his 11 years there.

Hundley met with the players Friday to talk about expectations.

“We’re not all about wins, but I’m looking for wins,” he said. “That’s the purpose of going out and playing on Friday nights.”

He was named the Central District and Division II Coach of the Year in 2005. He was also named Ohio Capital Conference Coach of the Year in 2007.

For the last four seasons, Hundley has been as assistant coach at Dublin Coffman, helping the team to the playoffs in all four seasons.

“Throughout this process we were consistently impress with Coach Hundley’s dedication and experience in developing the whole student athlete as a person and football player,” Minerva

Athletic Directo Andrew Mangun said.

Hundley plans to start talking to the team and getting to know them as the season progesses. He wants to build a foundation that will allow them to hit the ground running once the season starts.

The Lions last winning season was 2013 when they finished with a record of 6-4. Their last playoff appearance was in 2011.

Coach Hundley has been married to his wife Sally for 35 years. They have three grown children, Cori, Josh and Sam.

By CHRIS MODRANSKI

Sports Writer

The Carrollton Lady Warriors traveled to Alliance last Wednesday and picked up their second win of the season and their first Eastern Buckeye Conference (EBC) victory. The Lady Aviators entered the matchup winless on the season

at 0-7 overall and 0-3 in the EBC. Carrollton’s Freshman Josie Burgett started the scoring for the Warriors with a field goal from the floor and then Sophomore Abby Laizure drilled a basket from beyond the arc. Burgett chipped in another two points giving the Warriors seven points for the opening quarter. The Lady Aviators

ended the opening frame with eight points on two field goals each from Fletcher and Thomas.

Carrollton’s defense stepped up in the second quarter only allowing the Aviators to convert three baskets for six points while Sophomore Neveah Hutchinson added two points, Senior Chloe Glass sunk two field goals for four more points and Burgett was perfect from the line on a

pair of free throws before Laizure converted her second long ball of the night. The Lady Warriors took an 18-14 lead into intermission.

Carrollton’s stout defensive effort continued into the third quarter as they kept control of Alliance and only allowed them to collect five points.

Carrollton’s junior Malina Moore was able to convert two

baskets while Burgett continued her pace with another two point field goal. Glass chipped in another basket while going 1-2 from the charity line. The Warriors went into the final period with a 27- 19 lead.

Carrollton added seven more points in the fourth quarter on a three-ball from Laizure while Glass converted another field goal and Burgett went perfect

from the line. Alliance was only able to put seven more points on the scoreboard giving Carrollton the victory with a final score of a 34-26.

The Lady Warriors grabbed 22 rebounds and had eight steals for the game. The team will travel to Wadsworth High School Friday to play in the Believe Roundball Classic.

Carrollton senior Calob Dalton (sitting on right) signs with the Western Michigan Broncos. He is pictured with his mother, Carolyn and football coach Phil Mauro.

KALAMAZOO, MI – College football’s early signing is a period which runs through Dec. 19-21.

Most Division I recruits put the ink to the paper on the first day.

Carrollton senior defensive end, Calob Dalton, made it official on Wednesday, signing with the Western Michigan Broncos.

Dalton has been a force on the Carrollton defensive line since his sophomore season, breaking the school’s single-game record for sacks with three against Minerva in 2016.

He is Carrollton’s career leader in tackles for loss with 36.5 and sacks with 17.

“I was told at a young age that college would be the way to go,”

Dalton said. “Just being able to have it all paid for and not having to worry about going into debt is a big weight off my shoulders.”

As for his time at Carrollton, Dalton said it’s been great to him.

“It’s real nice, it’s a great place,” he said. “Coach [Phil] Mauro is the best as they come. He knows everybody. He’s helped me more than anybody I know.

He’s a great guy.”

“We’re excited. It’s a testament to the program and what the coaches did prior,” Coach Mauro said. “A lot of coaches worked with Calob prior to me. Coach [Eric] McCort and his staff did a great job developing him.”

“We’re super excited for him and we think it will be a great motivation for a lot of our younger players,” Mauro said.

“He’s been huge for the

program. He’s our all-time career sacks and tackle for loss leader. Great presence and practice player. He’s a great role model for our younger guys.”

Along with his career records in sacks and tackles for loss, he is second in tackles for loss in a single-game against Coventry with four. In his sophomore season, he moved to second alltime in both sacks (10.5) and tackles for loss (20.5).

Dalton is the third Carrollton athlete to sign DI this year.

Others are: wrestler Ben Pasiuk (Army West Point) and track and field athlete Alivia Bentley (Ohio State).

Dalton will be attending the university on a full ride; books, room and food will be paid for.

He plans to major in biology and be a chiropractor.

CHS hosts three Mellott named Southern Christmas concerts Local Student of the Month

By DON RUTLEDGE FPS Staff Writer

The spirit of Christmas was expressed in traditional yuletide music at three holiday vocal and instrumental music concerts at Carrollton High School.

The three Christmas concerts presented by the vocal and instrumental music departments were well attended and received prior to the Christmas break.

The Dec. 11 instrumental music concert, which featured the Carrollton schools 5th grade band and Bell-Herron Middle School’s 6th and 7th grade bands, was a classic!

Not only did the participants, along with the audience, enjoy the evening’s performance – but the players had fun in proving their instrumental music learning accomplishments.

In addition to separate performances by each of the three bands, the young musicians were joined by a Carrollton staff ensemble listed on the program as “The Jolly Band of Elves”.

The ten-piece ensemble included Ms. Rebecca Dixon, flute; Ms. Angel Brooke, clarinet; Mrs. Lori Strader, bassoon; David Davis, trumpet; Jason Paxson, French horn; Chelsie Stoffer and Ms. Chelsey Sauerwein, trombone; Jordan Provost, tuba; Matt Nicholas and Dr. David Quattrochi, both percussion.

The group performed Angels Diggin It! alone and then joined the 5th grade band in an arrangement of Old St. Nicholas Had a Farm.

The concert concluded with

a performance of the 7th grade band of Twas the Week Before Christmas featuring a special guest, Leon the Elf (Craig Rodgers, Dean of Students at Bell-Herron Middle school).

A Rockin’ Christmas concert presented Dec. 17 and featuring the Bell-Herron Middle School 8th grade band, CHS Warrior Brass choir, CHS Steel band and the Carrollton Concert band was equally enjoyable and entertaining.

The 8th grade band, under the direction of Head Band Director David Dickerhoof, performed four selections, including Santa’s Got a Brand New Bag, which featured Joline Greaves and Brianna Ohler as vibraphone and trumpet soloists, respectively.

The Steel band performed Carol of the Bells and Feliz Navidad under the direction of Mike Kopko. Lighted palm trees adorned the area in the gym where the Steel Band performed.

The Warrior Brass Choir, under the direction of Jordan Provost, performed three yule selections.

Brass choir members included Amanda Bentley, Jocelyn Sellers, Tara Oberlin and Alex Lowery, all trumpet; Samuel Pesta, French horn; Ashlee Copeland, euphonium; Madison Keyser, Trevor Zinda and Tobias Barnhart, trombone; Jacob Welland and Jaden Batty, tuba.

The Concert Band, under the direction of Dickerhoof and Provost, performed four Christmas arrangements, which included “Here Comes Santa Claus,” “A Rockin’ Christmas,” “Hark! The Herald Trumpets Swing” and “We Need a Little Christmas.”
