Kidney donor sought for Carrollton graduate National Donor Day is Feb. 14 By NANCY SCHAAR FPS Correspondent Feb. 14 is Valentine’s Day. But for a local woman it is also National Donor Day, which is very important to her right now. Nikki Cvengross grew up and graduated from Carrollton and is a 2016 graduate of Kent State University. She is an occupational therapist. In May of 2016, Nikki began having issues with high blood pressure. A simple blood test at Dr. Inman’s revealed she had Stage 3 Kidney Disease to End Stage Renal Failure. After further testing, Nikki found out that her kidney filtration was very low and a biopsy was performed in March 2017. The final official diagnosis was Antineutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibody (ANCA) Vasculitis. In April of 2017, Nikki began a series of infusions with a medication that was meant to shock her immune system and to keep it from attacking itself. This disease attacks the small blood vessels in the body. In Nikki’s case, it affects the filters in the kidneys. Protein and red blood cells are leaked into the urine. It had been Nikki’s dream to own her own home and a week after she closed on her home she had to go through another set of infusions. It did help some, but not much. Her doctor had a high success rate with these procedures but she just wasn’t responding as he had hoped. Nikki got married in 2018 and here husband, James Fraschieri, has stood right beside her through it all.

In July of that year, Nikki began having trouble with very high potassium levels. “They were very dangerous levels. Twice the normal limits in just a week,” said James. Nikki’s mom, Debbie Riddell, said Nikki had so much swelling and quickly gained 40 pounds in fluid. She couldn’t wear shoes, sandals, nothing. She was in the hospital for quite a few days and they did another biopsy. Through it all, Nikki has refused to just sit around. She is a woman who is used to kayaking, camping, hiking, climbing, running, doing lots of things outside. Nikki and James even participated in a 10 mile hike in Pennsylvania. Sitting around in the house just wasn’t in her nature. Through all of the testing and treatments, she continued to work. In fact, she carries two jobs. She works at Carroll Healthcare and spends her evenings working at Jimmy’s BBQ. “My jobs have been amazing at working around the schedule for when I need days off. They’ve been great,” said Nikki. Following another stay in the hospital in July, Nikki had to have surgery to insert a CVC catheter for dialysis, which started then. She had to be at the center at Belden for three hours at a time for the first three weeks for dialysis. In November they fitted her with a catheter in her stomach so that she could do dialysis at home. Since the first of December, Nikki has to use her home dialysis unit five nights a week. It takes about 7 ½ hours for the entire process. Normally two liters of fluid are gathered each night. Nikki said one of the hardest things to get used to is just being tired all the

Carrollton graduate Nikki Cvengross Fraschieri has been diagnosed with Antineutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibody (ANCA) Vasculitis, which is attacking her kidneys. She stands next to her car with signage asking people to donate a much-needed kidney.

time. She is used to being on the go and the feeling of exhaustion is just always there, but she refuses to let it keep her down. Nikki’s husband, James, has worked at NAPA Distribution in Carrollton for 10 years. His parents, Craig and Cheryl, live nearby and the doctor said she has the best support group he’s ever seen. “It’s not hereditary. It is very rare. It’s most commonly found in older people in t heir 50’s and 60’s,” said Nikki of her condition. “It is uncommon in children. It can affect any part of the body and can react very differently in different people,” said Nikki.

At first, doctors thought she might have rheumatoid arthritis but further testing found the problem with the kidneys. “It’s been a whirlwind. It’s leveled out some now. At first, the nausea was every day. It’s not as bad now but the swelling and the hair loss is still something to get through,” said Nikki. Nikki’s mom had moved to Florida, but after the diagnosis last summer she moved back to Carrollton to be with Nikki. Debbie is a nurse. Her husband, Kevin Riddell, works at Asbestos in Cleveland. Family members have been tested in case they could be the donor of a kidney for Nikki. Debbie is a univer-

sal donor and is a great match. But doctors decided that although Debbie could be a donor for someone else, another younger donor would give Nikki her best chance. Although Debbie can’t donate her kidney to her daughter, she is still going to donate her kidney to someone else who needs it. Both women have been through the training classes and educational sessions that are needed to be a donor or have a transplant. All of this medical work must be done through a University hospital. When a donor is found for Nikki,

By DON RUTLEDGE FPS Staff Writer A 34-year-old Malvern area man is headed to prison for six years upon being convicted of two counts of aggravated arson by a Carroll County petit jury last week. Jeffrey L. Lotterbaugh, formerly of 7060 Alliance Rd., Malvern, was found guilty by a 12-member petit jury of the first- and second-degree felony arson charges following two hours of deliberation last Thursday, Feb. 7. Upon returning a unanimous guilty verdict on both counts, the jury was excused and Lotterbaugh was sentenced by Judge Richard Reinbolt Jr., who was assigned to hear the case by Ohio Supreme Court. According to Carroll County Prosecuting Attorney Steven D. Barnett, the evidence showed that Lotterbaugh started three separate fires Oct. 15, 2018, inside three different rooms of a mobile home where both he and his brother, Charles Lotterbaugh, were living at the time. Barnett said the brother attempted to put out two of the fires and after the third one, he fled the trailer. The fire was extinguished by the Great Trail Fire Department and no injuries were reported, Barnett said. Lotterbaugh, who was suspected of being under the influence of alcohol

opinion pg. 5

and drugs at the time, was arrested without incident at the scene by Carroll County Sheriff’s deputies. The sheriff’s department was assisted in their investigation by the Ohio State Fire Marshal, Barnet added. During last week’s two-day trial, which began Wednesday, the jury of eight men and four women heard testimony from five State’s witnesses that included Great Trail Fire Chief Ralph Castellucci, Carroll County Sheriff’s Deputy Jacob Baker, Lotterbaugh’s brother, Charles, and his mother, Betty Tanner. The state’s final witness was Investigator John Weber from the Ohio State Fire Marshal’s office, who investigated the cause and origin of the fire. Barnett said the jury also viewed several photographs and a diagram of the scene. The prosecution rested its case near the end of the day Wednesday and the defense called no witnesses. In addition to the six-year prison term, Lotterbaugh is required to register with the Ohio arson registry for life as a result of his conviction. Prosecutor Barnett presented the case on behalf of the State of Ohio and Lotterbaugh was represented by attorneys Stephen J. Kandel and Michael A. Boske of the Carroll County Public Defender’s office. Lotterbaugh was transported to the Lorain Correctional Institution in Grafton last week to begin his prison sentence, according to Carroll County Sheriff Dale R. Williams.

Carrollton Council to address trash complaints By NANCY SCHAAR FPS Correspondent

A local pastor brought issues regarding his trash removal from Kimble’s Recycling and Disposal to Carrollton Village Council during its meeting Monday, Feb. 11. Pastor David Powell has talked to various drivers and various personnel at the Kimble office but the problem just keeps getting worse. Powell said that he wanted to hire another trash collector but was upset to find out that he is not allowed to hire who he wants. This is because the village has a contract with the Kimble Company for the entire village and no other companies can collect weekly trash. “You’ve taken away my right to hire who I want. It’s very frustrating. It sounds like a dictatorship. It takes away my rights. I did speak to a competitor and he would love to collect trash for the village. Powell said they don’t pick up the trash for two or three weeks. Powell said their timing was off too and the don’t come when they are supposed to.

Commissioners learn of second group trying to establish emergency squad By NANCY SCHAAR FPS Correspondent Mandy Henderson and Chuck Decker met with the Carroll County Commissioners to provide details about their plans for a Regional Emergency Medical Squad for Orange Township and surrounding areas. “Our goal is to be an asset. We started three years ago. There is a need. People can’t afford a levy. We will have funds from donations and from transports. That will help support us. We want to start mid-summer. From 10 to 6 maybe,” said Henderson. Henderson said Joel Decker, who currently lives in the south, is the executive director and Michelle Enold is the treasurer. Henderson said they have between 12 to 15 volunteers ready to answer emergency calls to the squad. “We have an agreement with Orange Township. They don’t want anyone, but us for their care,” said Henderson. “There is no vendetta. We want to work with these people. We just all want to work together. The sheriff, the township, you guys, just all you guys,” said Henderson. Henderson said she would keep commissioners informed of their progress in getting an emergency squad running. Members of the Board of Elections met with commissioners to discuss ways to keep the lines of communication open. Last fall, the Board of Elections passed a resolution authorizing health benefits to an employee that did not qualify under the terms for the General Fund. Commissioners brought the matter up in a commissioners meeting because no one can authorize spending money from the general fund except for commissioners. Board of Elections Assistant

Director Amanda Tubaugh said she had called the Auditor’s Office and had been told it was ok to offer the health insurance to the part-time employee through a resolution. And that was what her board did. Commissioners gave the Board of Elections one week to rescind the resolution they had passed but a letter was received by commissioners from the board stating they were standing by the action of the resolution. Again, commissioners told the Board of Elections they cannot spend general fund money. Board of Elections Chairman John Barnett felt his board was represented as loggerheads. “We’ve worked this out and we have needs in the coming months. Let’s keep meeting as they are needed because we are going to need your help,” said Barnett. Commissioner Bob Wirkner said it had been a unanimous vote to not permit a part-time employee from having health insurance. Elections member Georgette Huff felt that wasn’t quite true citing that Lewis Mickley had not voted on the issue. Mickley explained he did not vote due to a family connection with the elections office. Mickley said he thinks communications are an issue throughout the entire courthouse. He said people don’t communicate and he felt they needed a representative of each board to sit down together. Wirkner said the public has a right to know what is going on. Nothing pre-empts that. Wirkner also said commissioners have supported the needs of the Board of Elections. Commissioners discussed selling the county command vehicle because it is no longer needed. It could be re-purposed as a library, dental van, and other uses, according to Commissioner Jeff Ohler. Commissioners did agree that they need

to place a reserve of $20,000 on the selling price for 2005 model vehicle. Wirkner explained that the unit was bought with a grant because the state wanted them in different regions. “We were the first to have them in the area. Then the state changed the district outlines. It became redundant. Hazmat used it, the sheriff used it at the mill festival, at the fair, and many other events,” said Wirkner. In other business commissioners: - ANNOUNCED the courthouse will be closed Monday, Feb. 18 in observance of President’s Day. - MET in executive session to interview John Cooper as the Apiary Inspector. Following the session, commissioners hired Cooper at a rate of $8.55 per hour. - AUTHORIZED a special hauling permit for Paint Valley Hardwoods for Cactus and Antigua roads in Union Township. A $50,000 bond has been set per the county engineer. - AGREED to a special hauling permit with Mervin Troyer for Arbor Road in Fox Township. A $50,000 bond has been paid. - TABLED a guardrail replacement bid award until Thursday, Feb. 21. - SIGNED a special hauling permit with DeNoon Lumber Co.

Commissioners, EMA to give weather station to airport board By NANCY SCHAAR FPS Correspondent Carroll County Emergency Management Agency Director Tom Cottis provided the Airport Authority Board with information regarding a weather station that his department and county commissioners would like to have installed at the airport. “Commissioner Bob Wirkner and I met to discuss where would be the best place to install a weather station and Bob suggested the airport. Both of us felt there would be little interference from trees or buildings and we could get accurate readings for rain, wind, and other weather,” said Cottis. Cottis further explained that the county’s contractor Serversim would take care of the installation and set up of the unit. “We don’t have anything in the county. We have to call National Weather at Pittsburgh for the information. This is zero cost to the airport. All we need is a signed agreement,” said Cottis. The communication tower on state Route 9 had been suggested as a location, but Cottis said there would be too much interference. Fred McMullen of the National Weather Service in Pittsburgh is involved in the project as well, according to Cottis. Vice President Karen Tuttle said a location could be beside the restaurant or at the corner of the maintenance hangar. Cottis said it needs to be located within the fence line. Cottis explained that being near a building or run off from a roof or drain spout could cause misreadings in the rain amounts and in the temperature readings. Cottis also said the wireless connection will be paid for by the county and the airport will have no cost for the project and that a 40-inch screen would be donated and mounted in the restaurant so that patrons and pilots can monitor the weather. Conducting the meeting due to the absence of President John Cross, Tuttle reported Commissioner Lewis Mickley is working with the commissioners to see who is financially responsible for the costs involved in the tree removal at the end of the

runway. Mickley is preparing a letter to send to the county prosecutor for his opinion. The Federal Aviation Administration advised the Airport Board in 2014 that there are numerous trees blocking the visual approach to the runway. The airport was advised these needed to come down immediately, because if the FAA inspected and found them still blocking the approach, the airport could be shut down by the FAA. Various committees and volunteers have been assigned the task of talking to the land owners about the removal of the trees during the last six years but little progress has been reported and no trees have been removed. Before the meeting started, several board members discussed and disagreed about whether the meeting was a regular meeting or should have been announced as a special meeting. The board designated two years ago that regular monthly meetings will only be held on the odd months of the year, specifically January, March, May, July, September, and November. In 2018, when an additional meeting was held, it was called, announced, and advertised as a special meeting. At the January meeting when they announced the board would have a regular meeting in February, the media questioned if it should be designated a special meeting. Tuttle responded that it was not a special meeting, it would be a regular meeting. During the regular or special meeting of Feb. 11, Tuttle said that one line had been omitted from the recently approved rules and regulations for the airport. Tuttle, although chairing the meeting, made the motion to add one sentence in Section VI regarding meetings. The section currently reads: The Authority shall hold regular meetings on the second Monday of the month as specified by the president at a place and time open to the public. Tuttle asked the board to approve the following: Upon a poll of the trustees, however, the president may designate other days and times for regular meetings.

The members of the airport authority voted yes on this addition with the exception of member Harry Stansbury, who abstained because he wanted to review the rules and regulations since he had never been sent a copy as other board members had. The rules and regulations established in 1967 at the formation of the county airport were abolished in 2013, and again abolished several times in 2014. Since then, various committees have been set up to establish new rules and regulations but none were ever produced. New rules and regulations were finally adopted by the board in November of 2018. The language is confusing and misleading at times. The name for board members is not consistent throughout the rules. In some places they are called board members and in other places they are referred to as trustees. No explanation for the language is given. In other business the board: - LEARNED that Tuttle is working on 2018’s financial records for auditing purposes. - HEARD Dave Fitzgerald report that the airport did not sell one drop of fuel during January. - THANKED Sonny Fitzgerald for making repairs to the tractor and snow plow. - THANKED county commissioners for a grant of $15,000 to assist with operations and maintenance of the airport.

CAUV tax renewals due By NANCY SCHAAR FPS Correspondent Carroll County Auditor Lynn Fairclough is reminding all residents who own agricultural land and who participate in the CAUV (Current Agricultural Use Valuation) program the deadline is quickly approaching to file. All renewal applications are due by March 4. The CAUV program is to pro-

vide tax relief to the owners of agricultural land who are actively using the land for commercial agriculture. To stay in compliance with the program, each owner must file a renewal application each year, according to Fairclough. Fairclough has mailed each CAUV participant a reminder that these application letters to the program must be sent in every year for renewal. The mailing from the county auditor will be the only notice residents

will receive. The rules for these application papers were changed in 2017 and are now due each year. “If the renewal application is not returned by the first Monday in March, the land will be removed from the CAUV program and land owners will be required to pay a three year recoupment,” said Fairclough. If anyone has any questions, they may visit the auditor at the Carroll County Courthouse or call her at 330-627-2096.

Free Press Standard | OPINION

Lest We Forget By CAPT. CHARLES PEARSON

U.S. Marine Corps, ret. On Oct. 8, 1918, Corporal Alvin C. York of the 328th Infantry fought a desperate battle with a German machine-gun detachment and brought into camp 132 prisoners. He was promoted to sergeant, awarded the Distinguished Service Cross, the French Croix de Guerre and many other decorations, and generally acclaimed the greatest individual hero of World War I. Among Sergeant York’s most treasured honors is the following letter, written by Lieutenant Colonel Buxton to the girl whom York married as soon as he returned: Miss Gracie Williams Pall Mall, Tenn. My Dear Miss Williams: It has come to my attention that you are one of the people at home who, by virtue of friendship, is interested in Sergeant Alvin C. York, Company G., 328th Infantry. Entirely without any suggestion on the part of my friend, Sergeant York, I should like to tell you and his mother something of the very high esteeem in which he is held by the officers and men of his division. Until the 82nd Division entered the fight in the Argonne, it was my privilege to command the battalion of which Sgt. York’s company was a part. During those many trying days, Sgt. York grew daily in our esteem as a very efficient noncommissioned officer and as an unusual influence for duty and good conduct among his comrades. Not only was his record maintained during those terrible battles in the Argonne, but on the 8th of October, 1918, Sgt. York performed acts of extreme heroism and presence of mind which won him the Distinguished Service Cross and

the personal thanks of major General Duncan, Major General Summerall and General Pershing himself. With a little detachment of men from G Company, he faced an entire German battalion in an isolated ravine, far from any American assistance. Nine Americans were at once shot down, but Sgt. York fought on until the German Major and 131 German officers and men surrendered as prisoners. There were only seven Americans left besides Sgt. York, who had himself personally borne the heaviest brunt of the fighting. This achievement on his part came at a very critical time and unquestionably saved the lives of large numbers of his comrades, who would have later been attacked by this captured battalion. It will be a great satisfaction to Mrs. York and yourself to know the respect which all of us feel for the manly Christian character displayed by this splendid American. Sincerely yours, Lieutenant Colonel Buxton The shortest surest way to live in the world is to be in reality what we would appear to be. Sgt. York truly believed that God would bring him home safely from the war. Earlier in his diary, he wrote that he went, trusting in God, asking Him to bring him home. Lt. Col. Buxton wrote of the respect which they all felt for the manly Christian character displayed by Sgt. York. Deference (honor) is the instinctive respect we pay to the great and good. Sgt. York depicted his faith in his God and his country as many of armed forces personnel still do. More than what most people realize. Please keep them all in your prayers, for all of you are in theirs. Charles Pearson is the chaplain for the Malvern Legion Post 375 and Carrollton VFW Post 3301.

Letters to the Editor To the Editor, I would like to respond to the letter from Terry Vahila. Although we have never met, I feel I know you from the number of times you have called to report the same dog. I tried to explain to you, numerous times, that the dog is healthy and well kept. The leaves help to insulate the dog house, the straw is bedding and this one has a heated water bowl. You clearly have no respect for me or what I do because it doesn’t fall under your idea of what it should be. Have you ever given any thought that personally, I may agree with you about leaving animals out in below-zero weather. I can’t imagine why it has to be a law when common sense would dictate to bring them inside. However, I cannot bring my personal opinions to the job; I must be professional. The “handbook” you refer to is the Ohio Revised Code! I surely did not write it, but that is the law and cannot be altered by me to satisfy your obsession. I have no idea to whom you are referring when you cite, “It’s a dog,” certainly not my words. True, that if shelter is provided and the animal is properly fed and watered, living outside is allowable under Ohio’s laws. I am happy to show you my “handbook” or you can simply go online and type in Ohio animal cruelty laws. This is not a position of justification, it’s the law. I have received all the training available and I am in constant contact with the prosecutor whenever a question of legality arises to ensure I handle the situation properly. I have had this job for 21 years. It is certainly not easy or even safe. The pay is lousy with no benefits so I’m not in it for the money. The worst part is that everyone knows how to do it without the benefit of any training, and they are quick to cast aspersions. I know this has never occurred to you, perhaps it’s you that is wrong. Shirl Berry Animal Cruelty Investigator Carroll County Humane Society To the Editor: I believe the liberals are destroying everything I served my country for and believe in - our Constitution, Bill of Rights, our history, our way of life and In God We Trust, and the list goes on. They show no respect to our military, our law enforcement, our laws and our law-abiding citizens. They harass and attack anyone who disagrees with them. The liberal mayors have police stand down when liberal groups disrupt our citizens going to work and coming home. They care more for the illegals than their own people. We have homeless people. The average American is trying to make a living. They want the illegals have free food, medical care and housing, while we, the taxpayers, are forced to pay for someone who is breaking the law to begin with. All the liberals do in office is pass laws that attack law-abiding citizens and protect the illegals and criminals. They believe in open borders and care more about illegals than the people that put them in office. Wake up America! I hope our military and law enforcement remember they took an oath to protect our Constitution and country, and say “no” to any orders that say otherwise. After World War II, the officers who were brought before the court over war crimes usually responded, “Just following orders.” There comes a time when you must decide what’s right and what’s wrong. I see people who have no idea how many stars are on our flag, what countries we border, who fought in the Civil War, and the list goes on. I would be afraid to ask them, “Who’s buried in Grant’s tomb?” Makes me wonder what kids are taught in schools now. It’s a sad day when we have a president trying to protect us all, and the media and liberals always attack him. Wake Up America!! Pay attention to what’s going on in our country and actually vote for people who truly believe in our country and values and actually represent “We the People.” Respectfully, Harold M. Shurtz Carrollton

Christian Love

I Corinthians 13: 1-8 defines Christian Love: Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity (love), I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity (love), I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity (love), it profiteth me nothing. Charity (love) suffereth long, and is kind; charity (love) envieth not; charity (love) vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up. Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. Charity (love) never faileth: It means to love, expecting nothing in return. Theologians call this passage “the encyclopedia of Christian Love”. 1. Longsuffering - God is not looking for a reason to judge, but an opportunity to forgive. 2. Love-Charity is kind - to help to show compassion. 3. Love envieth not - does not become jealous of others. 4. Love vaunteth not itself - love does not try to impress others for personal gain. 5. Love is not puffed up - is not self-centered. 6. Love doth not behave itself unseemly - love shows good manners. 7. Love seeketh not her own - to love for personal gain. 8. Love is not easily provoked - does not look for confrontation. 9. Love thinks no evil - keeps no records of wrong - does not bring up past failures for leverage to win an argument. God’s love destroys all evidence of past failures! 10. Love rejoices not in iniquity - does not point out the weakness of others to hide personal flaws. 11. Love rejoices in the truth - desires truth to prevail. 12. Love bears all things - has no limits of forgiveness. 13. Love believes all things - believes in the worth of others. 14. Love hopes all things - believing God will work all things together for His glory. 15. Love endureth all things - love will outlast the influences of evil. It’s impossible as humans to love like this, but with God’s Love in us, all things are possible! We would like to welcome you to come out for Sunday service at 10 a.m. or Thursday night Bible Study at 7 p.m. Heaven’s Edge Apostolic Church, 1196 Brenner Rd. NE, Carrollton. -Pastor Bill Grimes Heaven’s Edge Apostolic Church

Nominees sought for Community Service Award Three Carrollton community service clubs have joined to co-sponsor the Carrollton Community Service Award. The Carrollton Civic Club, Carrollton Rotary and Carrollton Ruritans are working together to honor members of the Carrollton community who have unselfishly given of their time and energies to make Carrollton and surrounding areas a better place to live. Formerly the Distinguished Service Award (DSA) given by the Carrollton Jaycees, then the Carrollton Civic Club, the CCSA will continue in the same spirit and purpose of the DSA. Tom Konst, secretary of the Civic Club, said “We (Civic Club) thought it might be time to expand the sponsorship of the award. What better way to do this than to get the other community service clubs involved?” He continued, “The DSA was established by the Carrollton Jaycees in 1957 to honor those community members who have given back above and beyond the ordinary. It recognized individuals who gave of themselves over an extended period of time, sometimes years in length, or for

a noteworthy event or a cause that benefited others. Anyone can be nominated by any individual, not just by the service club members. All one needs to do is pick up a nomination form, complete it and send it in. Nomination forms are available at the Carroll County Chamber of Commerce office or at McFadden’s Insurance, both located on Public Square in Carrollton. Forms must be returned by Monday, March 11. Mail completed forms to Carrollton Civic Club, P.O. Box 205, Carrollton, OH 44615. The winner of the 2018 Carrollton Community Service Award will be announced at a dinner honoring them Thursday, March 28 at the Atwood Yacht Club. Social time will begin at 6 p.m. followed by dinner at 6:30 p.m. Cost for the dinner is $25. Tickets are available from the Carrollton Civic Club, Carrollton Rotary and Carrollton Ruritans or by calling Tom Konst, 330627-4368 or Denny Roudebush, 330-936-7441. Deadline for the dinner is Wednesday, March 20. Any questions may be directed to either Konst or Roudebush.

Sherry’s Book Corner Hi Kids! Happy Valentine’s Day to all of you! I’m sure you had a fun day at school with your teacher and your classmates!

STEM Night set Feb. 21 at Stanton Elementary HAMMONDSVILLE - Stanton Elementary students and parents can have fun with math during a STEM Night activity Feb. 21. The event will be held from 5:30-7:30 p.m. in the lobby of the elementary school and organizer Jordan Tice, a sixth-grade teacher, said it will include a variety of stations for attendants to learn and enjoy. The sites will be led by math teachers, other educators and staff volunteers. “There will be a demonstration with the 3-D printer and many hands-on building challenges using different everyday materials,” Tice said. “In one challenge, students must build a tower that will hold the weight of a basketball with only news-

paper and masking tape. In another task, students must build the highest tower they can with only a limited amount of index cards. Problem-solving puzzles like tangrams let students create art while applying what they know about shapes. All these activities and the many others included in STEM Night can be adjusted for students of all ages.” This is the second year for STEM Night and she added that math teachers initially were asked if they would like an opportunity to provide an activity night similar to literacy events conducted at the school. The educators jumped at the chance and wanted to integrate interesting ways to complete math problems.

“We wanted to find engaging, hands-on activities that would incorporate mathematical concepts, so we decided to do a STEM night that does not just incorporate math, but other subjects as well. This year, we continued with the STEM theme but all the activities are different from last year,” she said. “The purpose of STEM night is to bring students, parents and community members together to complete some fun and educational tasks. STEM activities promote critical thinking while engaging students in science, technology, engineering and mathematics concepts.” About 75 people attended the inaugural event and officials were hoping for a larger turnout this year.

Reunion set for CHS class of ‘54 Carrollton Class of 1954 will hold a reunion Saturday, June 15, at 1 p.m. at Carrollton Ponderosa and a breakfast Sunday, June 16, at 9 a.m. at Ponderosa. Anyone knowing the current addresses for

Warrior wrestlers improve to 4-1 in EBC with win over Wildcats By JORDAN MILLER

Sports Editor

CANTON SOUTH - As the regular season begins to wind down, the Carrollton Warriors continue to wrestle with a chip on their shoulder. Carrollton traveled to Canton South Thursday night to take on the Canton South Wildcats for the first time in their new gym. The Warriors won all but two of their matches throughout the night. Entering the match with an injured 106-lb. wrestler, they called down to one of their less-experience young wrestlers to fill the void, and Brody Wade did just that. Wade did lose, but he saved the team some points as he avoided a pin in one of his first varsity matches. “He steps in and he did a nice job,” Carrollton wrestling coach Ken Pasiuk said. “He saved our team some points and I’m very proud of him for that.” The Canton South Wildcats were low in numbers and forfeited a lot of their matches, but Coach Pasiuk was still happy with the way his wrestlers did compete when they hit the mat. “The kids who stepped on the mats to wrestle, they dominated and they wrestled tough against good kids,” Coach Pasiuk said. “They wrestled tough through their wins and their losses, they acted like they were supposed to act.” Results for the Canton South match are as follows: 106: Boyd (CS) d. Wade (C) 8-3. 113: Miller (CS) p. Gavin Rininger

(C) 3:08. 120: Brandon Brown (C) win by FFT. 126: Domanick Speelman (C) t.f. Gulling (CS) 15-0. 132: Robbie Hoopes (C) win by FFT. 138: Nate Blake (C) p. Gauze (CS) 3:18. 145: Connor Clark (C) p. Nichols (CS) 1:59. 152: Colby Moore (C) p. Little (CS) 0:56. 160: Ben Pasiuk (C) p. Williams (CS) 0:23. 170: Brandon Daniels (C) win by FFT. 182: Alex Carrothers (C) win by FFT. 195: Jaret Lane (C) d. Frey (CS) 3-0. 220: Seth Brown (C) p. Fellouzis (CS) 0:18. 285: JT Richardson (C) win by FFT. The Warriors will wrestle their final regular seaon match of the season at home against the Minerva Lions Feb. 14. Match time is 7 p.m. “I’m glad we get a good match in the last dual that we have, Coach Pasiuk said.” “It’s going to be a very competitive match, and I love it because our kids peak at the right time and if we peak at the end of the season, we have kids who are going to do well in the post-season,” he said. “Having that good match at the right time is only going to help us, win or lose, it’s going to help our kids. We want to win obviously. We don’t go in with the thought of losing, we go in with a positive attitude thinking we’re going to come out of it victorious. We’re going to handle it the right way regardless.”

Warriors rebound with back-to-back wins following loss to Alliance By CHRIS MODRANSKI

CHS senior Drue Moore (black uniform) drives to the lane as head coach Mike Aukerman looks on. Moore finished the game with 15 points for the Warriors.

The Carrollton Warriors boys’ basketball team won two of their three games last week. Carrollton fell to the Alliance Aviators at home last Tuesday but rebounded with back-to-back wins over the Canton South Wildcats on the road and the Edison Wildcats at home. CANTON SOUTH – The Carrollton Warriors shot brick after brick with an echoing “boing” in the Red Ash Memorial Gym way too often during the first quarter of the Eastern Buckeye Conference (EBC) clash. Carrollton was moving the ball well and was getting off great shots but it seemed as if there was a lid over the hoop. Canton South didn’t seem to have that problem, even their ugly shots were falling through the basket. Canton South got out to a devastating 18-6 lead by the end of the first period. The Warriors came alive in the second quarter, after Coach Mike Aukerman instructed the squad to keep taking their shots and continue to work as a team. “I challenged the boys to play for team and program pride vs South,” Coach Aukerman said. “It’s easy to get up for games when you know a league crown is in the sights like it was vs west branch and alliance. But vs south we were playing for pride. We still want to get to ten wins, we want to go .500 in the league, and we want to hit the tournament with momentum and finish the year strong.” The players executed as instructed and came roaring back in the second quarter with a 15-4 run of their own. The lid had come off the basket and the “boing” sound had transformed into that oh so sweet “swish” sound as Carrollton came within one point by halftime (22-21).

Carrollton gained the lead at the beginning of the third quarter and a battle ensued for control of the scoreboard. Carrollton had a one-point lead with just a few seconds left in the period. Carrollton’s Drue Moore went full “hocus pocus” and inbounded the ball to himself off the defensive players back for a quick layup as time was expiring. Moore finished the game with 15 points. Carrollton took a 39-36 lead as they headed into the final frame. Carrollton finished the game with a 19-point fourth quarter and headed home with a 60-52 conference win. Carrollton’s Brady Benner led all scorers with 20 points followed by Adam Chaney’s 16 points. “We had a great crowd follow us to South and the boys and our staff really appreciate that,” Aukerman commented. “We have loyal fans and the energy they give us comes up huge.” EDISON – Carrollton played host to the Edison Wildcats on a rare Saturday night game. Carrollton controlled the speed and tempo of the game and cruised to a 65-40, non-conference victory. After opening the game with a 7-0 run, Edison came right back with an 80 run of their own prompting a Carrollton timeout. After the timeout Carrollton’s Gage Poole stole the ball with 25 seconds left in the period and made a layup on the fast break to give Carrollton a 12-10 lead after one quarter of play. Edison’s Anthony Sinicroppi drilled a three-pointer and gave Edison what turned out to be their final lead of the night. Carrollton’s Moore took control of the game, guiding his teammates, running a very high tempo and at times hectic offense that Edison couldn’t defend. Carrollton had a 23-17 advantage at the intermission. See CHS BASKETBALL P. 9

Consecutive losses knock Minerva Lady Lions out of league title race

The Minerva Lady Lions girls basketball team took to the road Saturday to take on the Marlington Lady Dukes in an Eastern Buckeye Conference (EBC) battle. The Lady Dukes improved to 8-12 on the season after taking the Lady Lions to overtime, and handing them a 38-36 loss. The Minerva Lady Lions tried to rebound against the Canton South Wildcats, but they just couldn’t. Down 13-9 after the opening quarter, after a 7-0 Canton South run to open the game, the Minerva Lady Lions regrouped entering the second quarter. Minerva won the scoring battle in the quarter, outscoring Canton South 129, trailing 22-21 at halftime. Minerva scored a bucket just seconds into the third quarter to take their first lead of the game, 23-22. At the end of the third quarter, the game was knotted up at 31 all. The Minerva Lady Lions were outscored by Canton South 16-11 in the fourth quarter. Canton South came out of the battle victorious 47-42. The Minerva Lady Lions are now 155 on the season and will host the Canton Central Catholic Crusaders Saturday, Feb. 16 at 1:30 p.m.

Moore had a team high 17 points while Adam Chaney contributed 15 points. Following this week’s games Carrollton improves to 6-13 overall and 5-6 in the Eastern Buckeye Conference (EBC). The Warriors will host the Salem Quakers Friday, Feb. 15, in a matchup for the history

books as we say goodbye to the Carrollton High School Gymnasium in its final game. All former Carrollton girls and boys basketball players are invited to attend the final game in the CHS gym against Salem free of charge and will be recognized at the end of the game. “We are excited to play the final game in the old gym Friday and hope to pack it with former players, alumni and community supporters,” Aukerman stated. “Senior night for our guys will be special.”

The Lady Warriors did what Carrollton always does despite the scoreboard and that is to keep fighting. Even though Carrollton fell in the final quarter 15-8 it’s that never-giveup attitude that makes us unique.

Carrollton’s Malina Moore recorded seven points, four rebounds, two steals and two assists for the game. Abby Laizure added six points while Lucy Pridemore chipped in five points. The Lady Warriors fall to 3-15

overall and 2-9 in EBC play. Carrollton will travel to Mogadore high school on Saturday to take on the Lady Wildcats for their final game of the 2018\2019 season. Tipoff is scheduled for 1 PM.

From P. 8 CHS BASKETBALL Edison saw more of Moore leading the Warriors down the court with precision in the third quarter. Chaney hit a defender with a little “shake and bake” in the paint as the quarter winded down, extending the Warriors lead to 43-29 lead and some breathing room for the final quarter. The fourth quarter brought about a rare occasion for Coach Aukerman and the Warriors as he was afforded to pull the starters from the game for a nice applause from Warrior Nation. The reserves finished out the game and cruised to the 65-40 victory.

Bride’s Guide 2019

Fit is important for wedding dress Because fashion preferences were once ornate and dependent on precise fits, ready-towear clothing really did not become widely available until the early 20th century. Such attire is now available in just about any retail store. Because ready-to-wear clothing is so readily available, the average person may be unfamiliar with custom-made or tailored items. In fact, a couples’ wedding may be the only instance in their lives when they require the services of a seamstress or tailor. Fittings are a part of wedding planning, and here’s how brides-to-be can navigate the process of finding and being fitted for a dress. • Try on sample gowns. The first step is to make your rounds to various gown shops and try on the samples they have available. Most sample sizes will not be the size you wear every day, so expect them to be ill-fitting. Do not be discouraged. Once a gown is chosen, the dress shop will take your measurements and order the gown according to the manufacturer’s sizing guide. Again, this can be shocking, since the size will likely be larger than what you wear in street clothes. Some shops will also order a little larger to allow for adequate tailoring. • Schedule the first fitting. The first fitting should be anywhere from eight to 12 weeks before

the wedding date, according to experts at WeddingWire, an online wedding information provider. This is the time it takes to complete most standard alterations. Complex customizations can take even longer. Brides should also budget a minimum of $500 for alterations, which may or may not be included in the price of the dress. • Bring shoes and undergarments. Remember to bring along the exact shoes and undergarments you will wear with your gown. A change in shoes or bra/corset can result in the alterations fitting poorly the next time. Bring these items along to all subsequent fittings. • Speak up. Martha Stewart Weddings suggests speaking up at fittings if anything is uncomfortable or needs tweaking. Seamstresses are masters at their crafts, but only if they understand the desires of the bride. • Check the details. The second fitting is designed to check that all issues from the first fitting have been addressed, the gown is comfortable and you can move freely. At the last fitting, ask the maid of honor to come along so that she understands how to bustle or help you handle complicated straps or closures. Open communication with a seamstress and bridal shop can ensure brides-to-be get a dress that fits like a glove.

Fittings are a part of wedding planning, and here’s how bridesto-be can navigate the process of finding and being fitted for a dress.

They can then stick the labels on sign-in sheets or use them like business cards. • Dress comfortably. Bridal expos involve a lot of walking and roaming around. Wear comfortable clothing and shoes. Consider a backpack or handsfree bag so you are not weighed down when collecting the swag and other handouts throughout the day. • Ask questions.

Couples about to embark on their wedding journeys will likely learn a thing or two about party planning once their engagements are over and they are newly married. Wedding planning can seem overwhelming and a tad confusing at times, but a crash course in wedding terminology can help couples make more informed choices along the way. • Blusher: A short, single-layer veil that covers the bride’s face before the ceremony. • Boutonnière: A single flower bud worn by the men in the bridal party. • Canapés: Bite-sized appetizers served during the cocktail hour of a reception. • Civil ceremony: A marriage ceremony conducted by a council official or justice of the peace at a municipal location rather than in a house of worship. • Cocktail hour: Typically an hour-long interlude between the wedding ceremony and the main dinner of the reception. Guests have time to arrive and mingle before being seated. • Corkage fee: A fee some establishments charge to allow guests to bring their own wine. • Dais: A podium or platform raised from the floor where the bride and groom are seated. • Deposit: A percentage of the total cost of service given to a vendor to secure a date for their services. • Dragées: Round, small edible balls of sugar that appear on wedding cakes. • Escort (seating) cards: Printed cards that direct reception guests to their seats. • Fondant: A sweet, plyable product used to decoratively cover layered cakes. It can be used in lieu of straight buttercream. • Handle wrap: Ribbon or fabric that wraps around the stems of a bouquet the bride and wedding party carries. • Maid/matron of honor: The title given to the woman who assists the bride and stands closest to her at the altar. “Maids” are those who are unmarried, while “matrons” are women who are. • Master of ceremonies: An individual who will work with the DJ or band to announce the various components of the wedding reception. • Nosegay: A small bouquet or flower arrangement typically given to the mothers of the bride and groom before the cer-

Recently engaged couples may be excited to get a jump on wedding planning. Bridal shows can be a great way for couples to meet and familiarize themselves with local wedding professionals, all the while introducing themselves to the terminology of wedding planning. Though they’re a great source of information, contacts and samples, bridal shows also can be a bit overwhelming. Learning how to maximize time spent at shows can help couples plan their weddings as efficiently as possible. • Start small. If the idea of large crowds is unappealing, attend the more intimate, boutique shows that are often held at local reception halls and restaurants instead of the larger installations at convention centers and hotels. • Scout out vendors. Check the bridal show’s website for lists of exhibitors and see if your desired vendors are on the list. But even if they’re not, keep an open mind and use the show as a chance to compare offerings. If an event map is available, marking off must-visit booths can help save time. • Pre-register. Pre-registering for bridal events saves time at

The perfect gown, veil can be found at Elizabeth Renea’s

How to create a wedding day schedule Wedding days can be hectic. In fact, many couples note after tying the knot that their wedding days were so busy that the ceremonies and receptions were over before they knew it. Creating a wedding day schedule can seem like a daunting task. Couples tend to have lots of things to do before saying “I do,” and organizing everything so ceremonies begin on time can seem as puzzling as a brain teaser. But certain scheduling strategies can help couples ensure they look their best and make it to the altar on time. • Start with the ceremony. Couples can establish a framework for their wedding day schedule by working back from the ceremony. Once the ceremony time is set, couples who plan to take photos before their ceremonies can then work with their photographers to determine how much time they will need for photos and where they want to take the photos. Bridal parties may need transportation to the photo session, so determining when and where to take photos before the ceremony gives couples an idea of when to arrange for pickup. • Confirm when the wedding venue is open to the wedding party. Before booking hair and makeup appointments, couples should confirm when they will be able to access their wedding venue. Brides may want to get their hair and makeup done at the ceremony sight, but that may only be possible if the venue opens early for the wedding party. If it does not, then brides must account for transportation time to the ceremony sight when making their wedding day schedules. • Determine how much time is needed for hair and makeup. Weddings that feature large bridal parties will require more time for hair and makeup than ceremonies with small bridal parties. Grooms and groomsmen often take care of their

own hair, though some grooms might want to schedule hot shaves for themselves and their groomsmen. Grooms should ask groomsmen if they want a hot shave and then work with their barbers to determine how much time it will take to tend to all participants. Brides with large bridal parties may need to book more than two hair and makeup artists so everyone can get done on time. Wedding hair and makeup sessions can last several hours for large bridal parties, so brides should schedule their sessions early if their parties are big. • Make lunch arrangements. Some couples choose to tie the knot and host their receptions at the same venue. In such instances, if brides are getting their hair and makeup done at the venue, ask the venue representative if lunch can be provided to the bridal party. Some venues may include small lunch buffets in their reception costs, while others might charge extra. Confirm the availability and costs, and if it’s unavailable or too expensive, then arrange for lunch to be delivered. Either way, couples should not skip lunch, as it may be their only chance to eat until after the ceremony. • Distribute your schedule to one another and the bridal party. Once the wedding day schedule has been devised, couples should share it with each other and their wedding parties. Grooms’ wedding day to-do lists might not be as extensive as brides’, but grooms should still be kept in the loop regarding the schedule so they can help if anyone has questions or if something goes awry. Sharing the schedule with the wedding party decreases the chances of someone being late or missing an appointment. Couples can solve the riddle of scheduling their wedding days by working backwards and asking their vendors to cooperate in laying out the day’s events.

Bud’s Flowers and Gifts relocates to Main Street By GEORGETTE HUFF FPS Contributor Long a fixture on North Lisbon Street, Bud’s Flowers and Gifts has moved. Owner Michelle Rowan explained that when she and her husband, Scott, purchased Bud’s Flowers in 2015, they bought only the business, but not the building in which it was then located. With that building now listed for sale, the Rowans looked for available rental space and recently relocated to 80 W. Main St. in downtown Carrollton. Prior to purchasing Bud’s Flowers, Rowan owned and operated Bergholz Greenhouse for 15 years, during which she supplied plants to Bud’s. Several years later, she opened a related business, Special Touch Floral Design, also located in Bergholz. She closed Special Touch when she purchased Bud’s and said that due to staffing concerns with the greenhouse, her

commuting schedule and wishing to focus her attention on Bud’s, she recently made the difficult decision to not open the greenhouse this year. Bud’s new location, which most recently housed a meat market, has been completely transformed. Once rather staid, the space now feels airy and welcoming, with lush greenery, comfortable seating and an inviting assortment of keepsakes, garden statuary, wind chimes and throws. In a nod to the building’s history, a section of

interior brick wall has been left uncovered. Arrangements featuring fresh or silk flowers or live plants may be ordered. Additionally, a selection of fresh arrangements is available daily. Delivery service is offered to surrounding communities. Shop hours are 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday – Friday, and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday. Online ordering is available at www. budsflowersandgifts.com. The phone number is 330-6275114.

BBB launches essay contest The BBB® Charitable & Educational Fund, Inc. announced a new scholarship essay contest for area high-school seniors. The “BBB Life Lessons Essay Contest,” is a theme-based essay contest that challenges students to reflect on living a life of integrity and ethics. The essays are submitted online and reviewed by a panel of judges. The top four essays will be awarded scholarships ranging from $500 - $2,500. The contest is open to area highschool seniors attending schools in Stark, Carroll, and Tuscarawas counties (visit the website for a complete list of eligible schools).

There is no GPA requirement to apply, and scholarship funds are used towards attending any career, technical, college, university or trade school after high school graduation. The theme for the 2019 essay contest is “Trust.” The BBB’s mission is building an ethical marketplace where buyers and sellers trust each other. When submitting essays, students should consider how trust plays a vital part in living a life of integrity and ethics. “We are excited to provide this scholarship to students in our community,” stated Frank Cil-

ona, BBB president and CEO. “We wanted to make this scholarship available to any student seeking to further education after high school, including those students attending non-traditional avenues, such as trade or technical schools. The BBB’s perspective is, no matter what professional career a student chooses, they should strive to live a life centering on ethics and integrity.” Essay submissions will be accepted through March 31. Students can read more about eligibility, instructions to apply, and submit entries on the website http://bit.ly/BBBLifeLessons.

Students should take FAFSA verification process seriously The federal government requires many students who submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to verify the information on the FAFSA. The students are chosen by the U.S. Department of Education. Used to apply for most federal and many state student aid programs, the FAFSA asks detailed questions about the income and resources of students. Parents are required to provide their information as well if their children are dependent students. Students are considered dependent if they are undergraduate students under 24 years old, not married, have no dependents of their own, are not veterans or were not orphans or

wards of the court until age 19. The college or, in some cases, an agency working with the college will contact students to let them know if their data is being verified. Students and parents need to take that process seriously, according to KHEAA. Students chosen for verification cannot receive their financial aid until they have completed the process. As soon as they are contacted, they should provide any information that is required. Putting it off will only lead to frustration if the process isn’t finished when classes are ready to start. If students have decided not to attend a college that asked them for verification, they should let

the college know so it will stop requesting information. KHEAA is a public, non-profit agency established in 1966 to improve students’ access to college. It provides information about financial aid and financial literacy at no cost to students and parents. KHEAA also helps colleges manage their student loan default rates and verify information submitted on the FAFSA. For more information about those services, visit www. kheaa.com. In addition, KHEAA disburses low-cost private Advantage Education Loans for its sister agency, KHESLC. For more information about Advantage Education Loans, visit www.advantageeducationloan.com.

Raise the Roof supports school pavilion project BERGHOLZ - Music will fill John Gregg Elementary School in March during a special event to support the students. Richmond United Methodist Church is holding “Raise the Roof for John Gregg Elementary,” a free music event March 2 at 6:30 p.m. in the school gym. A variety of acts will perform throughout the night, including the Richmond UMC Praise Team, John Gregg students and the bluegrass band Awesome Possum. Free will donations will be taken and other proceeds from throughout the night benefit the construction of a pavilion on the grounds for the pupils. Kathy Ramsey, a teacher at John Gregg and church member, said those who attend will receive tickets for chances to win McConnell Meat Market gift certificates valued at $100 and a family-sized dinner and a movie package worth $150.

the prize drawings. “This is the first time for the event. Everybody who walks through the door will get a ticket for the drawings,” she added. “We will also have free snacks, a 50-50 and a Chinese auction.” Attendants can enjoy a blend of gospel, bluegrass and other music from the church praise team, Awesome Possum and school students. Among the latter performers slated to appear are Malayna Bright, Ali Shrieve and Madeline and Adrienne Granatir, who will showcase vocal and instrumental songs of their choosing. Ramsey initially brainstormed the idea of holding a community event at the school and the church sought to help fulfill a school need. John Gregg Principal Tammy Burchfield mentioned the project to construct a pavilion large enough to hold 50-70 students. It would be a multi-purpose site and could house students as they dine al fresco at lunchtime or conduct an outdoor classroom.

Church members, which also include fellow teachers and several students’ parents, began organizing the benefit and Ramsey hopes to have a successful event with the potential to become an annual gathering. “The church is quite excited. We hope we have a lot of people come to the event,” she noted. “We’re excited to share our music and fellowship with the community.” Meanwhile, Burchfield was seeking cost estimates but hoped to have the structure in place this spring or next fall depending on available funds. She was grateful to the church for reaching out to help. “I think it’s fantastic. The community and school should join together and figure out what we can do for our kids. This would create a place for kids to go outside and eat and it can be used as an outdoor classroom. We’d like to have the pavilion by next year, and if we can meet the [financial goal] we will do it.”

Dellroy first graders celebrate 100 days

Tuesday, Feb. 5, was the 100th day of school for Dellroy Elementary students. First-grade teacher Mrs. Chappell asked each child to bring in a collection of 100 items for the special day. Collections were to be grouped by 5’s, 10’s, 20’s or 25’s. Tuesday morning all the students at Dellroy from kindergarten to fifth grade visited their

classroom to see all the collections made by the students. The first graders also skip counted to 100 for their visitors. The teacher was proud of the creativity and excitement of the students. Mrs. Chappell said they celebrate Day 100 as more than a milestone for the school year. Students learn the number 100 and use mathematical skills in many ways using 100.

Besides learning to count to 100, students built a tower out of 100 cups, drew pictures about what they thought they would look like at 100 years of age, made a list of 100 rhyming words, and dreamed about what they could buy with $100. The 100 days of school activities help students work on math, reading and writing skills and also have lots of fun.

Buckeye Career Center kicked off Career and Technical Education month by inviting local community and business leaders to be “Director for a Day” Tuesday, Feb. 5. Eleven area business, community, and government leaders served as directors. Attendees included Ohio Department of Education Deputy Superintendent Dr. John Richard, Carroll County Board of Developmental Disabilities Superintendent Matt Campbell, Doug Peterman Jr. with Peterman Plumbing, Jeanne Wilson from Senator Sherrod Brown’s office, Tuscarawas County Commissioner Al Landis, Kayla North with Mast Trucking, Bruce Clay from H3D Tool Corporation, Dave Moreland with Skyline Homes, Pam Sprowls from Ohio Billing Inc., along with North Star Metals and Designer Stone Company’s Darren Galbraith and Mike Chambers. The program allowed area leaders to view Buckeye Career Center for an entire day while classes were in session. “The Director for a Day program provides a window for the community to see a full-service career center in action. We can have tours or open houses during the evening, but our greatest strength is the interaction between the students and their instructors. We wanted to create an event that would highlight the learning that takes place at Buckeye Career Center.

It is an unscripted event that gives our visitors an idea of the people and programs that make Buckeye Career Center so special,” said Buckeye Career Center Superintendent Bob Alsept. The event also gave the guests a chance to meet employable students and experience the education career center students are receiving. “The students were 100 per-

cent engaged in what they were doing. I thought that was really a great advertisement for this place,” said ODE Deputy Superintendent Richard. Eleven Buckeye student ambassadors served as guides for the directors as each director visited four labs. They were served a meal by culinary arts students in the Joe Carlisle Café.

Spann-Myers earns top honors at Southern Local spelling bee SALINEVILLE - A fifth-grader spelled her way to the top during the Southern Local School District Spelling Bee Feb. 5. Sixteen participants in grades 5-8 took their place in the Southern Local elementary school library, but SLES student Alliandra “Alli” Spann-Myers was the last one standing after correctly spelling “bevel” during the 10th round. A bevel is defined as “a sloping surface or edge.” Southern Local Jr. High eighth-graders Darrel Kram-

er and Corbin Stillwell got a second chance to round out the other two spots after respectively misspelling “wikiwiki” and “contraband” in the ninth round. They battled four more times before Kramer successfully completed the word “boutique” during Round 14 and was named first runner-up, followed by Stillwell as second-runner up and fellow eighth-grader Zack Tribelo as alternate. Spann-Myers was confident, but also relied on a higher power at the competition. She said

she reviewed her words for two days before the bee and said a few prayers to help her through the district contest and beyond. “I just kept telling myself in my mind that I could do it,” she said. “I love to read, and reading makes you a better speller. Last night, I prayed to God to help me through this and at least get a tie or something.” She said another prayer right before the bee to carry her through the nationals. Rounding out the list of contestants were Adam Collussy, a seventh-grader at SLJHS; Gabe Blissenbach, seventh; Kaleb Cremeans, fifth; Lindsey Bregar, seventh; Kendall Wood, sixth; Melody Benedict, fifth; Casey Edmiston, sixth; Charlie Price, eighth; Jason Pratt, fifth; Tyler Rawlings, seventh; Ryli Bettis, sixth, and Mickaela Allison, sixth. The top three finishers received trophies, while all of the contestants were given certificates. Fifth-grade teacher Dana Patterson organized the event and served as judge along with SLES Principal Kristy Sampson, while librarian Donna Hart called rounds and fourth-grade teacher Jim Reese was announcer. The next matchup is the Columbiana County spelling bee set for March 6 in Lisbon and that winner will advance to the Scripps National Spelling Bee in Washington, D.C., in May.
