Commissioners discuss paving project at Friendship Center

By NANCY SCHAAR FPS Correspondent Carroll County Council on Aging Director Tonya Myers updated the Board of Commissioners at the Feb. 13 meeting on the parking lot project at the Friendship Center.

Tim Thompson of Carroll Asphalt accompanied Myers and explained that after his discussion with County Engineer Brian Wise, his understanding is that the engineer’s department will remove grass from the area, then Carroll Asphalt will put down a six-inch limestone base, and then top it with a six-inch layer of asphalt. Thompson said the area is about 50 X 200 feet.

“We have the money for the asphalt, we just need help with the gravel,” said Myers. Commissioner Jeff Ohler said the board would pay for gravel and he

would discuss installation of catch basins with Wise.

Myers reported the Center hosted a Valentine dinner for 120 people. The Golden Age Retreat provided shuttle service from the parking area behind the grandstand.

According to Myers, any county offices or agencies can use the meeting room at the Friendship Center at no charge. Myers said that activities have increased and it is hard to honor all requests for the big room; however, they make the room available for Election Day and other activities as long as they have advance notice.

Wirkner said he made an unannounced visit to the dog pound and was very pleased to see the facility was spic and span, clean, neat and orderly.

Wirkner said new stainless steel bowls have been installed on the north side of the compound. The dogs will be transferred to the north side while the same

work is done on the south side.

In other business commissioners: - WILL accept bid notices up to 9:30 a.m. on Thursday, March 19 for asphalt materials and road oil, petroleum diesel fuel, ready mix concrete, and road materials.

- PASSED a resolution giving board president Robert Wirkner authorization to apply, accept and enter into a contract with the Pollution Control Board for repairs and replacement of home sewage treatment systems.

- SIGNED a contract with the county health department for $8,000 for tuberculosis testing and surveillance.

- AUTHORIZED a special hauling permit for Frankfother Trucking, Inc. for Citrus Road in Brown Township.

No bond is required by the county engineer.

- APPOINTED Rhonda Cogan, Kate Offenberger and Chris Shepherd to the Tax Incentive Review Council.

“This bill would take taxpayers money out of our district. There are a lot of flaws in it. The state constitution says that public monies cannot be used for private schools. Districts across the state are going to be crushed. Some legislators are dead set on getting this

passed,” said Quattrochi.

MWCD to continue renovations at Atwood Lake campgrounds Five years into its Master Plan renovations, Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District (MWCD) campgrounds including Atwood, Charles Mill, Piedmont, Pleasant Hill, Seneca, and Tappan Lake Parks have new camp areas offering full hook-up, and 50-amp power service with level concrete pads.

Each camp area also has new, ADA compliant restroom and shower facilities with laundry.

Prior to renovation, the campsites throughout the district primarily offered 30-amp power at each site and no other amenities.

“Many of the sites were not level and were grass, (or dirt in many cases due to wear and tear) which were frequently muddy, especially if it is a particularly rainy year,” said Adria Bergeron, MWCD marketing/public affairs administrator. “As a result, some campers would build decks to provide an area outside of their camper, to provide a level space free of mud.”

She noted, “The renovations are designed to provide campsites that offer amenities to better suit our customers’ needs and reduce the amount of modification that has become the responsibility of the guest in the past. As construction projects have been completed throughout the MWCD, the decision was made to invest thousands of dollars to construct all new campsites with full-width camping pads moving forward so customers do not have to invest time and money into building or maintaining a wooden deck. This should allow our customers to spend more time enjoying their campsite, and less time working on it.”

According to Bergeron, the advantages for the camping guests include a designated location for vehicle parking, which improves access to campsites and increases visibility and safety on camp-

The Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District has changed its rules regarding decks at its camping sites at several of the MWCD’s lakes, including Atwood Lake. The photo above is one of the MWCD’s new campsite where a concrete patio is provided, making a deck unnecessary.

ground roads. In addition, a full-width pad not only provides a foundation for camping units, but also provides a patio area outside of the camping unit.

This offers an extension of usable outdoor space on each campsite for picnicking and placing outdoor furniture thus eliminating the need for decks on full-width pads beginning in 2020.

This decision was made because MWCD campgrounds require camping units to be mobile. This is necessary for safety during high water, fire, and catastrophic weather events as seen in 2019 when Atwood Lake’s higher water levels required campers to be moved. The mobility of camping units

classified pg. 11

is also necessary to facilitate repairs and maintenance.

Bergeron noted campers with decks do not allow for these units to be moved quickly because disassembly can be labor and time intensive. In addition, decks located below the spillway and not readily removeable in times of high water could become hazards and obstructions in the reservoirs.

Although decks are not permitted on the renovated sites with full-width pads, Bergeron points out seasonal campers who wish to keep their decks have the option to do so in designated areas of the park where decks are permitted.

Sherrodsville council approves EMS service

By NANCY SCHAAR FPS Correspondent Sherrodsville Village Council addressed several vital issues at their Feb. 18 meeting.

Village solicitor J. J. Ong advised council on the contract with Regional EMS, the lease of the fire department building, oil and gas leases for village property, the announcement that a couple intends to block an alley on their property, and the resignation of the EMS Squad coordinator.

Village officials have been discussing ambulance services through Regional EMS, Inc. for more than a year, but getting definitive answers has been difficult.

The owner of Regional EMS, Joel Decker, who now resides in South Carolina, had been the Sherrodsville EMS coordinator three times.

Council members approved an ambulance service agreement that calls for Regional EMS to be paid $16 per capita, per year for the contract period of March 1, 2020 through Feb. 28, 2025. Based on the 2010 census total of 304 residents, the village will pay $405 per month.

Regional will accept as full payment, rates set by Medicare, Medicaid and private insurances and will offer a discount of 10% for residents without insurance. Payment plans may be arranged.

The village will receive quarterly reports from Regional. After the contract has been in place for six months, each party has the option of canceling within 60 days.

Regional’s treasurer Michelle Enold said that the village of Sherrodsville will be the top priority for service.

Mayor Michele Higgenbotham said she had checked with 911 dispatch services at the sheriff’s office and was told that Regional failed to respond to only two calls in 2019.

The discussion then turned to the question of leasing the fire department building to Regional.

Enold said that after inspection, the fire escape from the second floor must be replaced before Regional could agree to lease the building.

Regional plans to turn one of the bathrooms into a kitchenette and will

opinion pg. 4

pay for upgrades to plumbing, drains and wiring.

“We want to do more town things.

We want to have a hot dog day, blood drives, CPR classes and other stuff,” said Enold.

Moving on to the next item, Enold informed council that she and her husband intend to block off current access to their home via an alley.

The Enold’s own and reside in the former Sherrodsville Elementary School. Enold said she does not appreciate the village plowing the road around her house at 4 a.m. and wants them to stop since it is her driveway and not a village street.

Enold said that she had been to the map office and to the “records” and discovered that her property extends beyond a stretch of paved road used as an alley, and into neighboring yards.

According to Enold, if access is cut off to residents who live adjacent to Enold’s property, it will leave two homes landlocked.

Enold said that a trash truck and about 10 vehicles a day drive up the old school drive, circle the building and exit through the established alley.

She feels it is a danger to her children and wants it to stop.

Following her investigations into “records” she said she discovered that Mound Street is actually a very short road but continues through everyone’s grass as a non-maintained alley.

When questioned by The Free Press Standard regarding what “records” she checked in Carrollton, Enold again replied the records. The FPS asked if it was at the courthouse and Enold said she thought so. When questioned further about what department of records she was referring to, Enold said she had to ask her husband.

Enold said that although she gets along well with her neighbors and doesn’t want to upset them, she will use a saw and cut through the paved alley to stop traffic on it to protect her children.

Regardless of how long Enold has owned the property, Ong stated that the roadway has been used by neighbors in the community for many

Center Twp.’s junkcar resolution stalls

By GEORGETTE HUFF FPS Contributor Center Township trustee Rick McNinch reported at the Feb. 11 meeting that Prosecuting Attorney Steven Barnett has rejected the draft resolution proposed by the board of trustees for the removal of junk motor vehicles within the township.

In a letter dated Jan. 30, Barnett wrote that the material submitted for his review “appears to be incomplete,” with “several” forms missing including a “notice to remove” that must be issued to owners of junk vehicles. Barnett asked the board to “kindly submit” the missing material.

McNinch said he had spoken with Barnett after the letter arrived and was told that enforcing such a resolution would be difficult because the township does not have an “enforcing officer” and violations would be classified as minor misdemeanors. McNinch said he would consult with a private attorney for clarification on the issue.

As fiscal officer Carolyn Leggett distributed the financial statements showing the balances in each fund and the list of bills to be approved for payment, she noted, “It’s been an experience, learning this stuff.”

Leggett said that while she had experienced a “breakthrough” in understanding the accounting system the previous day, she still was relying on training assistance, and had arranged for Wellsville’s fiscal officer to come to the Center Township office for a day.

Maintenance performed on Leesville plant

By JACQUIE HUMPHREY

FPS Correspondent At the Feb. 11 meeting of the Leesville Village Council, Mayor John Traxler reported employees of Buckeye Power had performed maintenance at the village’s wastewater plant, as discussed at the January meeting.

Traxler told council that he had received a thorough report and checklist of the maintenance items completed and that Buckeye had concluded that the plant is in good condition.

He said Buckeye recommended the battery be replaced, at the cost of $196.99. Traxler said the battery is currently four years old. Council discussed and unanimously agreed to this expenditure.

Traxler said that Buckeye Power would return in June for a follow-up inspection and will bring the battery at that time.

In another discussion, Traxler reported that he had spoken with the village’s representative at Atwood Regional Water and Sewer District who had reported that two filters at the wastewater plant are filled up and are running on by-pass until the issue is resolved. He has been working with the EPA to correct this.

In other action, council: • Learned that Atwood Regional Water and Sewer District will submit the annual sludge report for the wastewater treatment plant on the village’s behalf.

• Discussed ongoing issues with street lights.

• Heard a report from village employee Skip Bernhart regarding ongoing and upcoming projects in the village.

• Heard that there may be an issue with the new truck shifting into four wheel drive and was advised by Fiscal Officer Sally Bernhart that the truck is under warranty.

• Discussed tree trimming in the village.

• Learned that it has been too wet to do cold patching of streets and alleys.

• Heard a report from Fiscal Officer Bernhart on utility billing issues.

• Took no action on council members having keys to the village office.

• Discussed performing an inventory of village tools in the spring.

• Discussed possible sidewalk repair after tree removal.

At a time when our schools have problems with student bullying, what message is being sent to these students and to the whole country by the leader of the United States, Donald J. Trump, the most vicious bully of all, who believes it is ok. What do our young people think?

Because of the political turmoil and the importance of the coming elections, I believe it is my moral obligation to share my observations. After reading numerous books and articles on government leaders, both of our country and foreign countries’, I have concluded that Donald J. Trump is among the worst. He has two idols: Vladimir Putin of Russia and Kim Jong-un of North Korea, and he is ruling like a dictator of a communist country.

Donald J. Trump showed his true character as a bullying, immoral, devious, vindictive person in 2015-16 during his presidential campaign. He bullied his campaign staff to do questionable or illegal things. (All of this is in the Mueller Report, which still has not been seen by the public.)

We do know that six people from his campaign were indicted on various charges. One received a five-year prison sentence; the others received suspended sentences. All were fined. Trump denied any responsibility and demonized all six of his former employees, most of whom were lawyers.

Mueller’s investigation continued using the FBI’s information.

Trump fired the head of the FBI in fear of what else might be found out. Mueller’s investigation continued. Trump still wanted to stop the investigation. He then fired the Attorney General and replaced him with Bob Barr (another Trump “henchman”) who two weeks later stopped the Mueller investigation permanently. All of this was accomplished by Trump’s threatening Mueller and others with the loss of their employment with the government. This is the way tyrants use communistic methods to control their subjects.

A comment I hear from some people when discussing the leadership of Trump is, “But look at the economy.” The economic figures do look good, but to paraphrase from the Bible, “what good is it for a man to gain the whole world and lose his soul.”

However, history shows that economic data can be, and are for a fact manipulated to support desired results. This is what Trump is doing.

I want to note here that Nazi Germany in the late 1930’s also had what appeared to be an excellent economy under the rule of Hitler.

As history now shows, Hitler was a tyrant using propaganda and false claims just like Trump. This parallel is of deep concern to me and should be to you.

Trump verbally abuses and assassinates the good character of anyone who disagrees with him or opposes his “ideology.” He has fired several ambassadors: Taylor, Hill, Yanovich, Sondland and others, and banned them from ever again being employed by the government.

Trump also fired a military general after the general turned in his retirement notice in 30 days, which gave the general 20 years of service. Trump fired the general one day before his 20 years was complete, thereby taking away his pension. Truly this is vindictive and immoral.

All of this came out in the Trump impeachment hearings, along with his admission that he withheld money from Ukraine funds, which were appropriated by Congress to aid Ukraine, a US ally, to fight Russian aggression, in exchange for investigations into the Biden’s. (Trump tried to bribe the Ukrainian president, which is illegal, but Trump claimed it was not illegal. He uses propaganda heavily to mislead people.)

At the beginning of this letter, I asked the question, “What do our children think” about Trump’s bullying. I hope the answer is that, “Trump is wrong.”

We, as people of the USA that have a democratic republic form of government, must not allow Trump to overturn it into a dictatorship, or worse yet, a communistic form of government.

Some people blame the Democratic party, and some people blame the Republican party for what is transpiring in our government.

I blame Donald J. Trump for his bullying, slandering, lying and tyrannical form of ruling, which is how all communistic countries rule.

Trump must be removed from office. Our freedom is in jeopardy. If voting is rigged in the next election, he will not only win a second term, he will change our country’s laws and be the dictator forever just as Putin has. We must protect our democratic form of government. According to Will Durant’s observation of civilizations, every democracy before ours has ended in dictatorships. Our great country is vulnerable.

In the upcoming elections, demand a paper ballot and ask the Lord to guide us in our vote.

Lest We Forget

By CAPT. CHARLES PEARSON

U.S. Marine Corps, ret.

Through the night hours of June 5 and 6, 1944, the mightiest fleet the world had ever known was on its way to the liberation of Europe. More than 4,000 ships were enroute from England to the coast of France.

Aboard them was a vanguard of armies that were to swell to more than four million men in the world’s greatest battles.

Above them roared a mighty armada of more than 3,000 warplanes.

This invincible armada was in direct reverse of the epoch-making event that took place more than eight centuries before when William the Conqueror came from the shores of France with 3,000 sailing vessels and landed his warriors on the coast of England. It had, however, one analogy: Although William’s successful invasion changed the course of the history of England, this 1944 invasion was to change the course of the world.

The “Second Front” invasion was one of the greatest feats in history. It was a masterpiece in organization and coordination.

Within a hundred days after General Ike Eisenhower arrived from Italy to take command, it was ready to strike, waiting only

for the psychological moment.

This came two days after the fall of Rome.

The following was taken from General Eisenhower’s ‘Order of the Day’ issued to each individual of the Allied Expeditionary Force, June 6, 1944: “Soldiers, sailors and airmen of the Allied Expeditionary Force! You are about to embark upon the great crusade toward which we have striven these many months. The eyes of the world are upon you.

The hopes and prayers of liberty-loving people everywhere march with you.”

The Allied invasion of Normandy France to open a second front in Europe was a success and it did change the course of the world. However, it was accomplished at great cost.

Wives lost their husbands, family lost their sons, in order to transmit the freedom they once knew, to their children.

We should not forget. The losses for June 6, 1944, (D-Day) were 3,000 British casualties, 946 Canadian and 6,603 U. S. casualties. German casualties totaled 6,500. There were 114 Allied planes lost. The planes could be replaced – the loved ones lost could not.

Please remember to keep all of our military personnel and their families in your prayers.

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

Quartet to perform at Bible Chapel The southern gospel quartet, the Gold City Quartet, will perform at the Carrollton Bible Chapel on Saturday, March 14.

The concert begins at 6:30 p.m. with doors opening at 5:30 p.m.

The church is located at 365 Steubenville Road S.E., Carrollton.

Two food items are requested for admission, which will be donated to Loaves and Fishes, a local food pantry. Door prizes will be drawn and a love offering will be taken.

For more information or directions to the church, call 330627-7376 or Richard and Judy Cunningham at 330-323-9253.

Having lived in this town as a pastor for the past 23 years, I believe one of the many blessings our community enjoys is a great degree of fellowship and cooperation among the various churches and the pastors who represent them.

The Carroll County Ministerial Association sponsors the Loaves and Fishes Food Pantry, and provides leadership for the National Day of Prayer, and inter-church Lenten services each year. Rotating pastors provide clergy invocations at the Village Council meetings, and along with their congregations support several Pro-Life endeavors.

I would like to pay special tribute to an outstanding pastor and his wife who have served this community for nearly two decades and will be leaving us soon to relocate to another part of the state.

Mike and Roberta Doak have been a huge blessing to many. Pastor Mike and Roberta served the Christian Disciples congregation (“the church on the hill”) for many years, then served as interim pastor at First Presbyterian for a few years, and now Pastor Mike is temporarily serving a church in Alliance. When not otherwise occupied, they have been a great blessing to the congregation I pastor, as willing and enthusiastic participants in our activities here.

Pastor Mike and Roberta have demonstrated sterling integrity of Christian character, and a cheerful, grace-filled spirit of friendship and caring to all whose lives have been touched by them. Roberta has served as the capable treasurer of the Loaves & Fishes pantry ministry for the past several years.

Thank you, Mike and Roberta, for all of your contributions to our community. We will miss you and long remember your influences after you relocate. God bless you!

St. Gabriel’s fish fries begin this Friday

Members of St. Gabriel Church of Minerva are preparing for their yearly Lenten Fish Fries beginning this Friday, Feb. 21, and continuing through Friday, April 3.

Patrons will be served from 4:30 to 7 p.m. Dinners include fish (baked or fried), French fries or baked potato, slaw, bread, dessert and a beverage. Rigatoni dinners also are available.

Prices are $9 for adult fish dinners, $4 for children ages 6-12 and free for children under 6 years of age. Rigatoni dinners are priced at $6 for adults, $3 for children 6-12 and free for children under 6.

Patrons can eat at the church, located at 400 W. High St. in Minerva, and carry-out orders are available. Call-ahead orders may be made by calling 330-868-4610.

Four longtime volunteers (from left) are Dave Cinson, Gloria Willen, Bill Pilati and Ralph Halter.

St. Francis Xavier to offer Lenten dinners St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church will once again serve their famous fish, shrimp, and spaghetti dinners during the Lenten season. The dates for the dinners are Fridays Feb. 28, March 6, 13, 20, 27 and April 3. All dinners will be served at the new Good Shepherd Hall, 125 S. Carrollton, Street Malvern from 5 – 7 p.m. The dinners on March 6 and April 3 will also include a bake sale.

“The members of St. Francis parish served more than 50,000 fish, shrimp and spaghetti dinners between 1991 and 2018,” says Fr. Victor Cinson. “The dinners were not held in 2019

because we were building the new Good Shepherd Hall. Now our big, beautiful hall with a fantastic kitchen is completed and we are pleased to bring back our wonderful dinners.”

“They are a great deal,” says committee member Jackie Contini. “For one low price, diners receive a full dinner, beverage and dessert.”

“The large number of diners who return year after year says a lot about how good the food is and how much guests appreciate the value,” says committee member Judy Palleschi.

“Families like being able to get a big table and eating togeth-

er—grandparents, parents, kids and friends. It is a great way to have a family gathering without cooking and doing the dishes.”

“The kitchen volunteers have perfected our recipes for beer battered fish, marinara sauce, coleslaw and other popular items on the menu. The food is good, fresh, and plentiful. We enjoy seeing the camaraderie of all who work and come to eat,” said Fr. Cinson.

This year the Fish Dinner Committee is planning a new system for serving guests to reduce the wait time. There will be a cafeteria line and guests (both with those with dine-in

and take-out orders) can move through the line to get their food. There is no longer a need to call ahead for take-out orders. Also, volunteers will assist those who request assistance with their dinner trays.

The adult size baked or beer battered fish and fried shrimp dinners are $10 each and the spaghetti with marinara sauce dinners are $7. All dinners for children age 12 and under are $5. Each dinner includes rolls and butter, a choice of coleslaw or applesauce, a side dish of French fries or spaghetti, a choice of coffee, tea or lemonade and sherbet for dessert.

Minerva, Carrollton earn share of EBC title

By JORDAN MILLER

Sports Editor

MINERVA - For the first time since 1987, the Minerva wrestling team are conference champions.

The Minerva Lions defeated Carrollton 37-28 to earn a share of the Eastern Buckeye Conference (EBC) title along with Carrollton and Alliance.

The match started at 138 lbs.

Carrollton sophomore Domanick Speelman opened the wrestling dual with a :24 pin at 138 lbs. against Jack Zwahlen.

With a 6-0 lead, Carrollton extended their lead to 10-0 following a 12-2 major decision by Nate Blake (145 lbs.) over Nick Chaddock.

Minerva won their first match at 152 lbs. when Ethan Mueller

earned a major decision (11-2) against Carrollton junior Evan Lewis.

Colby Moore (160 lbs.) won a close match over Minerva’s Khail Louive 6-2. Carrollton sat with a 13-4 lead.

Carrollton senior Alex Carrothers pushed the Warriors lead to 16-4 with an 8-3 decision over Trevor Slider at 170 lbs.

The Lions took control in the next four matches, winning one by decison and three by pin.

Haines defeated Carrollton freshman Ben Zinda at 182 lbs. by an 8-3 decision.

Minerva’s Garrett Hilliard earned a pin 2:29 into the 195-lb. match; Logan Williams pinned Nick Jones with :05 left in the 220lb. match; and Jarrett Burress pinned Carrollton’s JT Richardson just 1:00 into the heavyweight battle.

Minerva also added another win at 106 lbs. when Strader defeated Brody Wade 7-2.

By the end of their run, Minerva led 28-16 going into 113 lbs.

Carrollton won 113 lbs. by forfeit to cut the Lions lead to 2822.

Jacob Norris extended Minerva’s lead to 34-22 with a :51 pin at 120 lbs. With the pin, he pushed the Lion’s lead to 12 points, forcing Carrollton to win their final two matches by pin to tie it at 34-all.

Carrollton junior Brandon Brown defeated his opponent at 126 lbs. by pin in just 1:00.

Down 34-28 entering the final match, Minerva’ Luke Chaddock was able to hold off Carrollton’s Robbie Hoopes (132 lbs.) with a 5-1 decision.

Warriors avenge loss to Alliance, finish second in EBC

Sports Editor

FPS Photo | Jordan Miller Carrollton senior Adam Chaney (3) drives past an Alliance defender and to the basket in last week’s final conference game of the season. Chaney scored 29 points for the Warriors.

ALLIANCE - Last time the Alliance Aviators and the Carrollton Warriors squared off, it was one for the books.

In their first meeting, Alliance led by as much as 15 points before the Warriors came storming back, sending the game to overtime.

Alliance won that game in the extra quarter.

This time, Carrollton went to Alliance with a chip on their shoulder.

Alliance built a 24-17 lead in the second quarter but Carrollton fought back, stringing together a 12-0 run to take a 29-24 lead. The Warriors held a one-point lead (29-28) going into halftime.

Carrollton came out swinging in the third quarter, putting on one of their best offensive performances of the season.

The Warriors outscored the Aviators 20-5 in the third quarter to put the game out of reach.

Carrollton pushed their one-point lead to 16 points (49-33) entering the fourth quarter.

“We executed more crisply on offense in the second half,” Carrollton head coach Mike Aukerman said.

“We got the ball to guys in positions where they could execute and they

executed.”

The Warriors were led on the offensive end by Adam Chaney. He scored a game-high 29 points.

Chaney single-handedly outscored all three of Alliance’s leading scorers who combined for 21 total points.

Carrollton’s defense played a big role in the second half, holding Alliance to 17 points and nine turnovers.

“We scrapped the zone at halftime, because we felt we’re better playing defense when we’re moving,” Aukerman said. “We not only did a good job playing help defense, but we even helped the helper to force them to take tough shots.”

Carrollton junior Gage Poole hit back-to-back threes in the third quarter to ignite a 16-2 run.

The Warriors are now 12-9 on the season and 9-3 in the Eastern Buckeye Conference.

Up until Friday night, Carrollton remained in the hunt for a share of the EBC title, but with West Branch’s win over Salem, West Branch secured the outright title.

Carrollton is set to open tournament action Tuesday, Feb. 25 against the winner of Steubenville vs.

Cambridge.

If Cambridge beats Steubenville, Carrollton will host the Bobcats; if Steubenville wins, Carrollton will travel to Steubenville.

DRESDEN - The Carrollton Lady Warriors basketball season came to an end with a 65-25 loss to Tri Valley in the Eastern District sectional.

Tri Valley opened the game on a 19-0 run before the Lady Warriors scored a pair of points on a Lucy Pridemore layup.

Carrollton junior Abby Laizure led the Lady Warrior’ scoring attack with 12 points. She scored all 12 of her points on four three-point shots.

Tri Valley led 24-2 by the end of the first quarter. They added another 16 points in the second quarter, taking a 40-13 advantage into halftime.

The Lady Warriors were held to 12 points in the second half all together while Tri Valley scored 25 points.

Carrollton senior Malina Moore finished as the team’s second leading scorer with six points. Lauren Marmo scored five points for Carrollton and Pridemore finished with a pair of points.

The Lady Warriors finish the season with a 4-19 record.

Buckeye Career Center Adult Education will host its annual winter open house, Tuesday, Feb. 25, 4:30-6:30 p.m., at Buckeye Career Center.

Full-time adult programs being offered for the 2020-2021 school year include Cosmetology, Dental Assisting, HVAC-R, Heavy Equipment/CDL A Operator, Medical Assisting, Medical Office & Billing Specialist, Law Enforcement Training Academy, Utility Lineworker, and Welding Technology. BCC will waive the $50 application fee for those who attend the open house.

Chase Baxter is a 2019 Carrollton High School graduate who is enrolled in the adult Utility Lineworker program.

The 19-year-old was undecided on his future, but was encouraged by friends who had completed the program.

“They are very successful and love what they do. They talked me into it and sent me in this direction,” said Baxter. “It’s the best thing I’ve ever done.”

He and his classmates are cur-

rently learning to run fiber wire, in addition to learning how to bring power to homes. They also learn to operate a digger truck, bucket truck, set power poles, and have the opportunity to earn a Class A CDL license.

Financial aid is available for those who qualify and BCC accepts local scholarship dollars, as well. Applications are also now available for students from each of BCC’s partner schools.

One student from each of the 11 schools will be awarded the full-tuition (one-year’s worth) scholarship. Baxter was awarded the scholarship last year.

He encourages other potential adult students to apply for the funding. “It was easy for me.

I enjoyed the process and was happy to get it because it paid for my tuition,” said Baxter.

Baxter wants to be employed in the telecommunications field following graduation in May and eventually hopes to achieve an apprenticeship and become a journeyman lineman.

BCC staff will be on-hand during the open house to an-

CHS’ concert band to hold ‘Conservatory Day’ For the first time in several years, the Carrollton High School concert band will not be participating in the Ohio Music Education Association’s large group music contest.

Instead, CHS Band Director David Dickerhoof said, “We are mixing things up this year and going a different direction.”

“This year we will be holding a ‘Conservatory Day’ Friday, March 13, when high school band members will get the opportunity to work with three

instrumental specialists all day.

That evening we will be presenting a concert in the Performing Arts Center with guest conductor Dr. Otis French,” Dickerhoof said.

Dr. French will be conducting a number that he will be working with band members during the afternoon. “We also will feature several chamber ensembles and soloists. It is sure to be an excellent evening of music that showcases our student’s hard work,” Dickerhoof added.

CV superintendent explains his opposition to proposed EdChoice bill

By JACQUIE HUMPHREY

FPS Correspondent At the January meeting of the Conotton Valley Board of Education, Supt. Todd Herman explained to the Board Ohio legislature amendments recently made which would greatly increase the number of availability of vouchers for students to attend private or parochial schools at the public tax expense.

Herman reported that if it should pass, public schools would be required to pay $6,000 to a private or parochial school, should a student choose to attend instead of a public school, an amount greater than public schools receive per student.

Herman reasoned that he is against this legislation for many reasons, one being that “private schools are not (held) accountable” as are public schools, nor are they required to accept all students and could “retain their selective admission policies”.

Herman asked the Board to support the Resolution opposing HB166 and it was passed unanimously.

In other business, the first reading for the 2020-21 school year calendar was presented.

Herman explained the adjust-

ments in the calendar to accommodate construction of the Rocket Center.

Board President Chris Bower inquired as to why there was so much time between the last day of school and graduation, which would be in the midst of linking the new building with the old.

Herman said that he had left graduation on the traditional date but was open to suggestions. The board discussed and agreed to move the 2021 graduation to Sunday, May 2.

In other action, the Board: - APPROVED expenditures totaling $1,153,151.69; - HEARD fund balances reported of $1,121,164.78 in Unified Bank and $1,647,520.96 in Star Ohio. The balance of the Star Construction Fund was reported at $5,055,077.19 and the balance in the US Bank at $17,115,135.01; - APPROVED donations as follows: both a $30 and $200 donation from anonymous donors to Share a Christmas, a donation of $102.71 in products and services from Gooding’s Nursery and a donation of $150 from B&B Carryout for cafeteria lunch fees; - APPROVED Jacob White as a volunteer varsity baseball coach for the current school year, pending completion of all state and local requirements;

- APPROVED Tayla Barker to the classified substitute list as an aide for the current school year, pending completion of all state and local requirements; - APPROVED a Jan. 22 field trip to the Performing Arts Center of Kent State Tuscarawas for students in grades 6-8 to attend a Class Act Series Program, Teaching Students to act with Dignity and Respect; - APPROVED a resolution to renew membership in the Ohio High School Athletic Association (OHSAA); - APPROVED the use of the cafeteria Monday, Feb. 3 and Monday, Feb. 10 to the Youth League Softball sign-ups, from 4:45 to 7:15 p.m.; - APPROVED a contract with Kelly Ricklic as a Site Coordinator for the Rocket Center with a salary of $2,000 per week; - APPROVED a Feb. 21 field trip to Kent State Tuscarawas for six students in grade 5 and six students in grade 9 to attend Young Author’ & Illustrator’s final competition; - APPROVED a May 7 field trip to Progressive Field in Cleveland for students in 5th grade to attend Weather Education Day; - SET the next regular Board meeting for Thursday, Feb. 20, at 7 p.m. in the high school cafeteria.
