ONE LAST SHOT

Carrollton Community celebrates CHS gym By JORDAN MILLER FPS Sports Editor CARROLLTON – The Carrollton Exempted Village School District had no idea the gymnasium they built in 1957 would be filled with so many memories 62 years later. Nearly 50 former boys and girls basketball players returned one last time to take in a basketball game in the CHS gym, as the last game was played there Friday night against Salem. Following the Warriors 63-50 victory, each former player in attendance was recognized. People as young as Jacob Roberts, a 2018 graduate, to Dale Howell, a 1958 graduate, who played the first-ever game in the then-new gym, were honored. “It means a lot [to be back in the gym],” Howell said. “A lot of good kids went through here.” As for his favorite memory in the CHS gym, he said, “Playing with the guys, you know? Running around with them. I enjoyed it. I’ve always enjoyed it, for 60 years.” The floor was open to fans and former players after the game to make one last shot in one of the hoops. Howell couldn’t pass on the opportunity. He may have missed on his first two attempts, but the third time was the charm.

Dale Howell, a former Carrollton High School basketball player pictured in 1958 (left), who played in the first game in the gym, prepares to shoot one last shot in the now-old CHS gym during a celebration ceremony Friday night.

“That was nice,” the 78-year-old said as he walked away from the free-throw

line after making his shot. He added that Carrollton deserves the new

good to a lot of kids. A lot of them graduated and had good times and got good jobs. I hope to see that kind of success in the next school.” It’s been a place where celebrations have taken place; like when the Warriors celebrated their first wrestling state champion, Aidan Pasiuk, in 2017. “In wrestling, with the most knowledgeable and supportive fans in the state, we constantly packed the house to have the loudest matches in the area,” Carrollton Athletic Director Jason Eddy said following the conclusion of Friday night’s basketball game during a ceremony to recognize former boys and girls basketball players. “In basketball, every opponent dreads playing in our small gym to face not only our team, but The Black Hole as well.” The gym has seen the likes of Ali Poole and Kevin Merrick become the all-time scoring leaders for the boys and girls basketball teams. As Eddy continued, he spoke about non-athletic events that have taken place in the CHS gym. “This gym has seen countless homecoming dances, proms and awards ceremonies,” he said. “The Browns and Steelers have played basketball here, and unfortunately, so have a bunch of donkeys,” Eddy said,

ONE LAST CALL

Final tones sounded for Carroll County VFD By NANCY SCHAAR FPS Correspondent On Saturday, Feb. 16, at 12:10 p.m. the Carroll County Volunteer Fire Department received its last call out as a department. Carroll County Sheriff’s office dispatcher Mike Ruby read a message from Carroll County Sheriff Dale Williams and his deputies and staff. The message read: “Carroll County Fire control to Carroll County Volunteer Fire Department Station 12, these are your final tones. Today we say thank you to the Carroll County Volunteer Fire Department. This department was founded in 1953 and has served Carroll County for 66 years. To the firefighters and their families, past and present, may God bless you and keep you safe. Thank you for your dedication and service to our community. Carroll County Volunteer Fire De-

partment (CCVFD), the time of your final tones is 12:10 on February 16, 2019. From the bottom of our hearts, we thank you all for 66 years of unwavering dedication and service.” Station 12 responded by saying they acknowledged their final tone. Dispatch wished the firefighters good luck on their next adventure. Carroll County Volunteer Fire Department firefighters joined together on the engines and service vehicles and rode from the department building on North Lisbon Street, Carrollton, through the square and on to their new home at the Carrollton Village Safety Building on Second Street where the village fire department is housed. The county fire department has struggled in recent years with income to keep the department going, to purchase new equipment and to keep answering calls from all over the county. They responded to all departments who were in need of assistance.

the Civil Defense. At that time, the state then allowed individual counties to acquire the equipment being used and formed the Carroll County Volunteer Fire Department, Inc. under the direction of the Carroll County Commissioners until 2005. In 2005, CCVFD became a privately run entity and remained independent until Feb. 16, 2019. On Saturday, CCVFD made their last journey and joined with the Carrollton Village fire department. Members of the village fire department lined up across the top of the square as the county department made their journey. Village firefighters waved and gave them thumbs up and warmly welcomed the county men to the new department. Village Fire Department Chief Shane Thomas said the merger is a big win for the village and the county. “This gives us a strong roster of 44 firefighters. This group brings with it so many years of experience. Plus this will give us three engines, two tankers, with 8,000 gallons of water capacity plus 1,000 gallons on each engine. We have firefighters from 20 to 70 years of

age. They are well trained, prepared, experienced and ready to go,” said Thomas. The combined equipment will give the village department multiple sets of Jaws of Life, two utility vehicles, a brush truck and a rescue truck. “We will need some new gear in the near future but this team is ready to take care of our people,” said Thomas. Carrollton Mayor William Stoneman said he was proud of all the firefighters for their many years of service. “They’ve always been ready to assist the village and take care of the county. Combining departments gives the village a very strong, well equipped group of firefighters. We are in good hands,” said Stoneman. Long-time county fire Chief Jack Swinehart worked together with Thomas and village officials to make the merger a smooth one. Swinehart will serve on the Carrollton department as captain.

Sherrodsville council discusses winter plowing By NANCY SCHAAR FPS Correspondent

Sherrodsville Mayor Ken Moffat held an open discussion regarding the new plowing and salting service the village has this winter. Moffat said it took a few snowfalls for the new company to learn which intersections, hills, streets and alleys need plowed and when they don’t. Moffat said he was pleased and very few complaints or criticism have been heard. The new company only comes when Moffat calls them and Moffat specifies exactly which areas are to be plowed or salted. Finding places to put the snow that’s been plowed is always a hard decision, but they are working together for the good of the residents. In other matters, council gave Moffat their approval to work with the Army Corps of Engineers regarding a property in the village that does not meet flood plain regulations. The property has been discussed numerous times and complaints from residents con-

Malvern trailer park leaves water bill unpaid By NANCY SCHAAR FPS Correspondent

Malvern Village Administrator Marcus Benson reported that the water bill for the Citrus Road trailer park was not paid in full this month. Benson said he did contact the company and was told they had a large water break and the company will send the balance due as soon as rents are collected. The trailer park suffered numerous issues two years ago when the owner had not paid the water bill to the village for a very long time. More than $25,000 was due on the water bill and is yet to be paid. But since Municipal Court Judge Gary Willen appointed a receiver for the rents, the water bill has been paid each month until now. Benson will contact them again soon if he does not hear from them.

Quick response prevents major damage to workshop Quick response by firefighters averted a major fire at a workshop on Bane Road Feb. 13. According to Fox Twp. Fire Chief Fred H. Barnett Jr., the Fox Township Volunteer Fire Department was called at 7:03 a.m. for a reported workshop fire at 5070 Bane Rd. NE, Mechanicstown. Barnett said upon arrival units found the rear of the building on fire. After removing several pieces of metal siding, firefighters were able to extinguish the fire, which got into the insulation and wood frame of the building and was contained in

that area, causing minor damage. Barnett said the cause of the fire was due to an overheated exhaust pipe that went through the wall from a diesel engine inside the 54x80-foot pole barn owned by John Mullett, who discovered the fire. Mutual aid was provided by Carrollton Village Fire Department with two trucks and eightfirefighters, Augusta VFD with two trucks and five firefighters, Carroll County VFD with one truck and one firefighter and Fox Twp. VFD with three trucks and nine firefighters.

Commissioners move forward with weather station at airport By NANCY SCHAAR FPS Correspondent Carroll County Commissioner Bob Wirkner was pleased with the Carroll County Airport Authority board for signing an agreement with commissioners to install a weather station at the county airport. “I would like to get the county ready to be a designated ‘storm ready county’. This is the first building block,” said Wirkner. Wirkner continued saying this is the first step in a larger initiative. The weather station will be monitored by Emergency Management Agency Director Tom Cottis. “Currently we have to rely on weather reports from the National Weather Service in Pittsburgh. This station will keep us informed of every weather condition that might affect our county. It is at no cost to the airport and will provide valuable information to us,” said Cottis. A 40-inch screen will be installed in the airport restaurant so pilots can monitor the weather before taking off from the county airport. Commissioner Jeff Ohler offered good news to the board regarding the closure of the former county landfill property. Ohler said the cost for closure has been revised and the estimate has been reduced quite a bit. During the next year the wells at the site will only have to be tested twice a year, not four, and will save the county about $40,000. Commissioner Bob Wirkner commended Ohler for his diligence in meeting all of the testing and monitoring activities for the landfill property required by the Environmental Protection Agency. Director of Job & Family Services Kate Offenberger met with commissioners in executive session to discuss the discipline of an employee. Following the session, a resolution was passed placing Brenda Frazier, a Social Worker II employee, on a five-day suspension. Frazier will have five unpaid work days, Feb. 19 and 20 and March 4, 5 and 7.

Commissioners also responded by saying that they had received letters from Frazier and they were reviewed and evaluated. Commissioner Bob Wirkner stated the appropriate action has been taken. Ohler said he had met with Health Department Commissioner Wendy Gotschall and Office Administrator Amy Campbell and learned that there are two badly needed projects at the health department building. The health department is contained on both the upper and lower levels of the building but there are no stairs to access either floor from the inside of the building. If anyone with an office upstairs needs to speak to an employee on the lower level they must exit the building and walk down the hill. The second desperate need for the health department is the paving of the lower parking lot. It is plagued with large potholes and the loose gravel on the hill makes it dangerous for employees to access either the upper or lower level. Several employees have fallen in recent months. Ohler said he has met with Building Maintenance Supervisor Ed Eick and Eick will get an estimate for each project. “Once we have the estimate for the repairs to the courthouse clock tower, we will know what funds we have available to handle other repairs,” said Ohler. In other business commissioners: - AUTHORIZED a special hauling permit for Denoon Lumber for Colony Road in Fox Township with a $50,000 bond per the recommendation of County Engineer Brian Wise. - APPROVED right of ways for Tennessee Gas Pipeline for four roads in the county. - WILL accept bids up to 9:30 a.m. on Thursday, March 21, for road materials, asphalt materials, road oil, ready mix concrete, and petroleum diesel fuel. For more information, contact the county engineer’s office. - LEARNED the income survey was completed for Amsterdam and showed 54 percent of residents are low to moderate income. - APPROVED the new plat mat for the vacating of Breezewood Drive.

SNAP customers to receive half March benefits starting Feb. 22 Carroll County Job & Family Services Director Kate Offenberger announced that as a result of the partial shutdown of the federal government in January, those households receiving SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) benefits for February received them mid-January. Due to the concern about the length of time between the issue date of February’s benefits, the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services will be adjusting the issuance of March benefits. Offenberger told commissioners recently that eligible households in the county will have 50 percent of their March SNAP benefits available to them on Feb. 22. The remaining March SNAP benefits will be available on the normal availability date. Anyone who has questions regarding their benefits, please call the customer service line at 844-640-6446.

Free Press Standard | AREA SHOT from PG. 1 drawing a chuckle from the crowd. “From French soirees to community Halloween parties, the school, and this gym in particular, has been the center of activity in Carrollton for over a half of a century.” It’s been packed full of residents for choir and band concerts; it’s sold out for the Harlem Globetrotters. The gym has even been a place where people have come together to celebrate a former student’s life. The crowd grew silent as Eddy acknowledged the ultimate sacrifice one of their own made eight years ago. “Certainly the most poignant moment that showed what being a Carrollton Warrior is all about, is when this gym held the calling hours and funeral for Lance Corporal Terry Wright in 2011 (Wright was a 2008 graduate of CHS),” Eddy said, in a now somber gymnasium. “As sad as that week was, there couldn’t have been a more suitable location than this gym for our community to show their pride and admiration for one of their own. It’s certainly a

Items to take to the tax preparer For many working Americans, April 15 is synonymous with taxes. Whenever taxpayers decide to begin the process of filing their taxes, those who hire professionals to prepare their returns should have the following items ready when visiting their tax preparers. Personal information • Social security or tax ID number • Social security or tax ID number of your spouse, if applicable • Dates of birth of all dependents • Social security or tax ID numbers of all dependents • Last year’s tax return • Spouse’s tax return from previous year, if filing jointly Income Information • W-2 forms from all employers you worked for in the last year • If you are filing a joint return, W-2 forms from all of your spouse’s employers in the last year

• Information regarding investment income, including proceeds from the sale of bonds or stocks, income from foreign investments, interest income, and/or dividend income • Income from local and state tax refunds from last year • Business income and accounting records from businesses individuals own • Unemployment income

• Rental property income • Social security benefits • Proof of miscellaneous income, such as lottery winnings, gambling winnings, etc. Income adjustments (if applicable) • Homebuyer tax credit • Green energy credits • IRA contributions • Mortgage interest • Student loan interest

• Contributions to medical savings accounts • Self-employed health insurance • Moving expenses • Education costs • Qualified medical expenses Dependent care (if applicable) • Education costs • Childcare costs • Adoption costs Charitable contributions (if applicable) • Charitable donation receipts Bank information • Bank account number • Bank’s routing number This list is a general list of documents that taxpayers may need to bring when visiting their tax preparers. Individuals who want to be certain they bring all the documents necessary to file their returns should contact their tax preparers in advance of their appointments to determine which documents they will need to make the process go as smoothly as possible.

Tax-advantaged investing grows wealth Investing has always been a means for people to grow their wealth and make their money work for them. Investors know that protecting investment earnings is important, and that often can be achieved through tax-advantaged investments. Tax-advantaged investing, also called tax-efficient investing, allows investors to maximize the profits they can keep after taxes are filed. Investment selection and asset allocation are important factors affecting returns, but minimizing taxes and other costs is also crucial, according to the Schwab Center for Financial Research. There are some ways for investors to keep more of their assets. A qualified financial ad-

visor can help navigate the waters of the best tax-advantaged options. When investing on an annual basis, there are some general accounts people can use to their advantages. • A 401(k) or 403(b): These accounts are an ideal way to get “free” money. Funds in these accounts are put away pre-tax. Because your adjusted gross income is lowered, so is your federally taxable income. In addition, some employers may match contributions up to a certain percentage. Companies also may offer Roth 401(k) plans, which differ from traditional plans in regard to when you pay taxes. With Roth plans, you pay taxes up front. When the money is eventually withdrawn, those

withdrawals are tax-free. • IRAs: Individual retirement accounts are similar to 401(k) plans in that they’re tax-deferred. However, they generally offer greater freedom in investment choices. Roth IRAs, like the Roth 401(k) plans, must be paid with after-tax dollars. But the advantages are higher contribution amounts, withdrawals that are tax-free and no mandatory withdrawals when a person reaches a certain age. • Tax-Free Savings Account (TFSA): Canadian investors can explore TFSAs. These are accounts that do not tax any contributions, interest earned, dividends, or capital gains, and can be withdrawn tax-free. It is available to individuals ages 18 and older in Canada and can

be used for any purpose. • College savings accounts: Investing in a 529 plan can be wise for parents. While money is invested after tax, it is taxfree when withdrawn for qualified higher education purposes. • Health savings accounts: To get a tax deduction on health expenses, an HSA is the way to go. HSAs are linked to high-deductible health plans and allow account holders to use the funds for qualified spending. Working with a financial planner can help investors maximize their investments to be as tax-efficient as possible. Financial experts understand funding limits and the timeline in which to invest for tax advantages.

Psalm 46:1 - God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. The Lord Jesus is our safety net; human strength is not enough. Jesus is always present - He is as close as the mention of His name. Psalm 46:10 - Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth. It’s not our human nature to be still. Every one of us wants to resolve our own problems. Proverbs 3:5,6 - Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths. We cannot afford to put our trust in our own ability or understanding. If you will acknowledge the Lord and be honest with yourself, we ALL need God to direct our paths. Let God be God in You! I Peter 1: 7-9 - That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ: Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see Him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory: Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls. We all go through the trials of life. Trials test our faith to see what we are made of. In order for gold to have its greatest value, it must be put through the fire. The fire burns away the impurities and gives gold its value. When we go to God for help in our trials, He will give us strength. The Lord Jesus allows trials to burn the impurities out of our lives. There is a song verse that says “trials don’t come to stay-they’ll soon pass away; with the help of God, we’re on our way”. When we put our trust in Jesus, the end result of our faith will be the salvation of our soul. It’s time that we take inventory of our lives and realize we cannot lean on our own understanding. We can’t fix our lives on our own: we need Jesus. Jesus gave 3 altar calls in His ministry. One of them is in Matthew 11:28-30 - Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart; and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. We can come to Jesus and lay our burdens down. If you will do this, the Lord will give you rest. Jesus can take away the heavy burden and give sweet peace within. Let God be God in You! We invite you to come out and worship with us on Sunday mornings at 10 a.m. and on Thursday evenings at 7 p.m. Heaven’s Edge Apostolic Church, 1196 Brenner Rd. NE, Carrollton.

Lest We Forget By CAPT. CHARLES PEARSON

U.S. Marine Corps, ret. World War II war correspondent Ernie Pyle had joined a party setting up a new forward command post on the island of le Shema during the battle for Okinawa. Suddenly there was a burst of machine gun fire and a cry went up: “Litter bearer – litter bearer – man hurt up here.” Corporal Edward Devine from Chattanooga, Tennessee, raised his head to see if there was anything he could do, and he noticed that Ernie Pyle had raised his head too with the same intention. When later questioned, Corporal Devine said, “I believe Ernie Pyle was really thinking of going forward to aid those soldiers, even though he was a civilian, because that was his nature.

Just then another burst of machine gun fire came from the sniper and I saw Pyle fall. I knew that he would get whatever aid possible from officers nearby, so I went for the Jap sniper that shot him.” Corporal Devine crawled toward the building from which the sniper was firing from. He tossed in a hand grenade and set the building on fire killing all who may have been inside. Ernie Pyle became one of the best loved reporters. His syndicated column during World War II told millions of Americans how their boys lived and fought as soldiers for our freedom. We should never forget that beloved reporter who told the true story about our warriors. Please keep all of our warriors in your prayers. Charles Pearson is the chaplain for the Malvern Legion Post 375 and Carrollton VFW Post 3301.

Sherry’s Book Corner Hello everyone! At this point in life, just remember, spring is just around the corner! Soon we will be opening our windows to let in the fresh air as we do our spring cleaning. Oh how I love it! It brings back so many neat memories of my mom and I as we cleaned our house together. I can still see her. She would roll up the bottom of her jeans and put on her “Keds” tennis shoes. If it was a little chilly, she would wear a sweatshirt two sizes too big! Now, after all these years, my mom still spring cleans with me at my house, in my heart. So ladies, gather up all your cleaning supplies and be prepared to have the time of your life! Ta l k i n g about ladies, this is a story about women who went up and above their duties for our nation. As the USA Today put it, “A fascinating story about ordinary women who did the extraordinary.” Back in 2017, our library purchased this book from me. Ever since then I wanted to read it. Since I read All The Light We Cannot See, my first column I wrote for this month, I knew it would tie in nicely. In her introduction of her book, the author stated, “In 1942, a new secret came to this part of the world. The earth trembled and shook and made

The large factories were built in the middle of the Appalachian Mountains. They were hidden, isolated, and independent. New homes were built for these young women. At the height of construction, new homes were erected as quickly as one every 30 minutes. Denise Kiernan met with these women and lived their stories through them. Many are in their 80s and 90s. Women occupied a wide variety of roles at Oak Ridge, wielding everything from blowtorches to Geiger counters. At one plant in 1945, roughly 22,000 workers were employed women.

ArDell ‘Mickey’ Kester celebrates 90th with open house March 2 ArDell “Mickey” Kester will turn 90 years old on March 3, 2019. Her family is celebrating Mickey’s milestone birthday on Saturday, March 2, with an open house, 1-5 p.m., at the Microtel Inn & Suites Conference Room at 1030 Canton Road NW in Carrollton. Mickey requests no gifts, just the presence of her family and friends. Birthday cards are welcome. Mickey was born in South Bend, Ind., and became a world traveler as a devoted Army wife to her beloved husband, SFC Delnar Paul Kester, retired. The couple married Nov. 7, 1959. They were married for 57 years until Paul made his journey to heaven in 2016. Mickey and Paul made the Carrollton area their home upon retirement and were active members of Baxter’s Ridge Methodist church. Mickey is a “domestic engineer” devoted to the health and well being of her family, says her daughters. “But don’t let that fool you, because Mickey was a pioneer for women’s rights. She was a divorced single mother in the 1950s and she single-handedly owned and operated a Union 76 full-service gas station while Paul was deployed overseas during the gas

crisis of the 1970s. It was her personal mission for her children to know how to drive and financially support themselves.” When asked what are the biggest changes she has seen in her lifetime, Mickey believes the biggest is the empowerment of women to be strong, independent, and have a voice, citing that when she was in grade school female teachers could not be married. Mickey saw the voting age change from 21 to 18 and watched the military transition from the draft to being all volunteer. She witnessed

the electronic evolution and is deeply concerned about the epidemic of illegal drug use and the escalation of terrorism in America. Mickey says she has seen miracles in heathcare for cures to diseases they didn’t have years ago. Spending time gardening and fishing have been lifelong favorite activities for Mickey. Her daughters point out, “She’s feisty about her Pittsburgh Steelers and shopping with her is an adventure. The best thing about Mickey is she is the best friend you will ever have.” When asked what is the secret to her longevity, Mickey contributes it to home-cooked. healthy meals. Mickey has two sons, Paul and Steve; a daughter-in-law, Robin; two daughters, Linda and Lisa; a son-in-law, Bill; eight grandchildren and six great-grandchildren. Her advice to them is, “be the best you can be all the time and choose love over hate every time.” But I see the hands of a hero so true, A woman who survived what this life put her through A woman whose heart still shimmers like gold, With the hands of a warrior who made her mark on this world.

Carrollton wrestlers say goodbye to CHS gymnasium with win over Minerva By JORDAN MILLER

Sports Editor

CARROLLTON - The regular season is in the books for the Carrollton Warriors wrestling team, and now it’s time to look forward to the post-season. The Warriors got the chance to wrestle one last dual match in the CHS gymnasium (because of Carrollton’s new 6-12 school), and they got to take on none-other than their arch rival, the Minerva Lions, defeating them 42-20. The match started at 220 lbs., and boy was it a loud one: the gym was rocking and the fans were stompin’. Carrollton’s Seth Brown took on Minerva’s Logan Williams at 220 lbs. It was a back-and-forth match from the first whistle but Brown found himself down 8-7 with under 10 seconds remaining in the final period. With all his power, Williams was holding Brown to the mat. Brown prevailed as the clock neared double zeros and in the blink of an eye, Brown scored a pair of points on a reverse to win the match 98. Down 3-0, Minerva needed a win and they got it from their heavyweight wrester. Jaret Burress recorded a firstperiod pinned over Justin Richardson. The Warriors tied the match at 6-6 with an 11-5 decision from freshman David Woolever at 106 lbs. over Drake Decker. The Lions responded with another pin and regained a 12-6 lead after Jacob Norris pinned Carrollton junior Jayden Zbuka in 1:36. Carrollton gained control after winning the next three matches of the night starting at 120 lbs. Carrollton sophomore Brandon Brown (120 lbs.) pinned Damion Dailey just :33 into the match. The Warriors picked up another trio of team points after Domanick Speelman won by a 6-2 decision over Luke Chaddock at 126 lbs. Robbie Hoopes recorded a first-period pin after pinning Ashton Silverwood :52 into the 132-lb. match. See CHS WRESTLING P. 8

Lady Warriors end season with back-to-back non-conference wins By CHRIS MODRANSKI

Sports Writer

The Carrollton Lady Warriors finished their season on a two-game winning streak with a home win against the Cambridge Lady Bobcats and on the road against the Mogadore Lady

Wildcats. The Lady Warriors finish the regular season with an overall record of 5-17 and 2-10 in the Eastern Buckeye Conference (EBC). Cambridge – Carrollton started the game with a small celebration to recognize their two seniors, Miranda Stonemetz and Chloe Glass in front of

the largest crowd and student section of the year. “The seniors have been great. Chloe has been waiting for this opportunity for a long time. She is a vocal leader, but she also is one of the hardest working kids in the gym. The girls feed off of her energy and intensity,” Coach

Chandra Myers said. “Miranda just started playing basketball this year, but she is such a positive influence when she is around the girls. No matter if she is in the game or not, she is always cheering for the girls and lifting them up. We are definitely going to miss both girls next year, and there will be

some big shoes to fill in the leadership area.” Stonemetz, who got her first varsity start and made the most of it by knocking down the first shot of the game energizing the hometown fans. See GIRLS BBALL P. 8

Carrollton senior Connor King (32) muscles his way to the basket in the final basketball game at CHS against the Salem Quakers.

Seniors Drue Moore, Trevor Boggess, Connor King, along with the rest of the Warriors steamrolled to a 63-50 win over the Salem Quakers, closing a longlasting chapter as they said goodbye to the now “old gym.” Tzak Rainsberg, a Carrollton student who suffered an injury following a car accident, served as honorary captain and delivered the game ball to the officials at the beginning of the game. A Dellroy resident, Tzak grew up with this year’s graduating class. Following his accident, Tzak became known as strong, determined young man in the community. Tzak and his father, Todd received a standing ovation from the entire gym and fist bumps from his teammates after the ball was delivered to officials. Carrollton jumped out to a quick 102 lead as Adam Chaney hit a few threes from the right baseline and top of the key. Brady Benner missed a shot but King took care of the load in the paint, pulling down a board and putting it up for a basket. Chaney scored on a fast-break layup, forcing Salem to call a timeout to regroup. Salem’s Trey Double connected on a three-pointer from the top of the key to cut the deficit anyway he could. Double scored three more points after being fouled while scoring and converting the and-one. The Warriors excuted beautiful ball movement as Moore dished the ball to Benner. who passed it to Gage Poole for a three pointer from the right baseline. Double responded by drilling another three, this time from the right wing. Chaney answered back with a jumper from the high-post. Moore ran the baseline and ended the quarter with a layup giving the Warriors a 17-11 lead. Poole began the second quarter with a deep ball from the left wing off a pass from Moore. Double answered right back with a long ball of his own, from there, game on. Benner drove the paint for two more points. Double drained another three, he couldn’t miss. Moore drove the baseline for another

layup; Salem had no answer for his skillset. Carrollton took a timeout to set the game plan for the rest of the half. Andrew Gotschall came out of the timeout for Carrollton and scored early and often, racking up a quick seven points. Moore connected from downtown one more time and then blocked a three-point attempt into the sixth row of The Black Hole. Carrollton took a 34-24 lead into intermission. Carrollton continued their hot streak to begin the third quarter with a deepball from Chaney and a pair of jumpers from Benner and Moore. Salem had to burn a timeout for adjustments. After a Warrior was fouled, one of the ceiling lights blew, and left a dark spot in the gym. Coach Aukerman knew exactly what to do. He told one of the officials to throw the ball at the light and it would come back on. It’s like he has been in that situation before. Thank goodness for it being the last game in the gym. “I told them that if we played our brand of basketball and we got after them defensively and got out in transition and just tried to play harder than Salem the ball will go in more often than not,” Aukerman said. “I am very proud of our seniors and wanted them to go out on a winning note because I remember my final high school game like it was yesterday and it was a loss. We loss in the fourth quarter and I told them you guys are going to remember this so let’s make it a good one.” Chaney led the Warriors with 18 points and eight rebounds while Gotschall added 13 points. Moore finished with 11 points, seven assists, five rebounds, three steals and two blocks. Double led the Quakers with 21 points and five rebounds. The Warriors improve to 7-13 overall and 6-6 in Eastern Buckeye Conference play. The Warriors will finish out the regular season on the road Tuesday against the Indian Valley Braves. Carrollton will play the winner of New Concord John Glenn vs. Zanesville Maysville game on March 2, 2019 at a site to be determined in the second round of the Ohio High School Athletic Association basketball tournament.

From P. 7 CHS WRESTLING Minerva’s Ethan Mueller defeated Carrollton junior Nate Blake at 138 lbs. in a hardfought match, winning 6-5. Blake finishes the regular season for the Warriors without being pinned in any of his losses. At 145 lbs., Carrollton junior Connor Clark dropped a 6-1 decision to Minerva’s Nolan Smith. Minerva’s Evan Hertel (152 lbs.) defeated Carrollton’s Colby Moore 9-2. Carrollton won the final four matches of the night, three by pin in the first period. Ben Pasiuk pinned Ashton Hilliard over a minute into the 160-lb. match. Daniels recorded a :34 pin at 170 lbs., earning the Warriors six-team points. Carrollton junior Alex Carrothers earned the fasted pin of the night after defeating Greg Hilliard in just 11 seconds.

Carrollton senior Jaret Lane recorded a 10-4 decision over David Church, winning Carrollton’s last match of the night and their last match in the now, “old gym.” The Carrollton wrestling program is losing a solid group of seniors this season. Seniors include: Brice Pratt, Mason Henry, Chris Gromley, Jordan Poracky, Tristen Hutson, Teagin Mohn, Chase Baxter, Seth Brown, Jaret Lane, Brandon Daniels and Ben Pasiuk. They won 2 league titles, have been to the regional finals of the state duals 3 consecutive years – including a final 4 appearance their sophomore season. They have placed in the top 10 at the state tournament all 3 years and have been sectional champs all 3 years. They have a combined overall dual meet record of 84-12. “There were some really good matches today,” Carrollton

coach Ken Pasiuk said following the match. “What’s awesome about that is it just makes our kids better with every match. I’m proud of our kids the way they wrestled, even with the ones they lost. They kept them close, they wrestled tough. If we got pinned, they were still battling during that match. They did not give up.” “I think Minerva is a very, very quality and tough team, no question about it,” Coach Pasiuk said. “So to have that for our last match, and the last time we’re going to wrestle a dual in this school, it’s awesome. What a way to end for our kids and the school.” As for Coach Pasiuk’s favorite wrestling memory in the gym, he said: “Beating Louisville, for the NBC title.” 2017 CHS graduate Adam Shaw took down his opponent to earn a major decision, and

ultimately win the Warriors a Northeastern Buckeye Conference title. “Looking around, the crowd system that we had and the support system we had, it was memorable. That was my favorite, no question about it.” Now it’s time for the postseason. “We’re excited,” Pasiuk said after being asked about the start of the post-season. “We think a lot of these matches that we’ve been wrestling is really getting us ready. Our kids seem to be peaking. I’m hoping and praying that they continue to get better. We’re pushing them in the room and they believe in themselves mentally. They feel like they can do it. I think we’re ready.” The Carrollton Warriors will be back in action Saturday, Feb. 23, at Claymont High School to compete in the Division II wrestling sectionals.

third period while Burgett added three more, all while holding Cambridge to just five points, giving Carrollton a 2625 advantage entering the fourth quarter. The Lady Warriors’ enjoyed the brief lead while they had it. Cambridge regained the lead at the beginning of the final quarter but Glass drove the paint scored to put her team back into the driver’s seat. From there, it was all Carrollton moving forward. Carrollton exploded for 17 points in the fourth-quarter as they sent the seniors out in style with a 43-34 victory. “I think we played great team basketball tonight. Before the game we talked about defensive

intensity. We knew emotions would be running high because of senior night, so we told the girls to do it for the seniors and go all out” said Myers. Burgett led the Warrior scoring attack with 12 points (eight for twelve from the free throw line) followed by Glass’ 11 points and Laizure chipped in eight points. Cambridge’s Taylor Slaughter led all scorers with 15 points while Alexis Wilkinson added 10 more points. Mogadore – The Lady Warriors used Laizure’s long ball and balanced score contributed to a “no doubt about it” 40-22 victory over the Lady Wildcats of Mogadore on Saturday afternoon to finish out their season. Carrollton made four-of-four

foul shots in the first quarter but fell behind 6-4 in the quarter. Carrollton outscored Mogadore 11-8 in the third quarter. The Lady Warriors exploded in the third frame with 16 points and held the Lady Wildcats to four points. Carrollton won the fourth-quarter battle nine to four. Laizure led the Warrior scorers with 12 points and Malina Moore chipped in 8 points. Mogadore’s Mackenzie Fletcher dropped in 12 points and Raelynn Thomas knocked down 8 points.

Video of a local youth baseball player goes viral on social media Isaac Husted, 11, a Dellroy Elementary student, went viral last week after his baseball coach posted a video on twitter of him hitting a ball off a tee, against the wall and the ball came back and landed right back on the tee. It was like pure magic! Social media accounts such as SportsCenter, House of Highlights, Barstool sports and many other media establishments shared the video. At the time of publication, the original video has been viewed over 1,500,000 times. SportsCenter’s video of the incredible trick shot has been viewed 2,000,000 times. Celebrities such as Michael B. Jordan, the star actor of the Black Panther, Creed, and Fantastic Four movies even commented on the video: “He just needed someone to confirm he wasn’t tripping,” Jordan said. Husted’s reaction is what sold the video. He was just as shocked as anybody and couldn’t believe what he just witnessed.

Glass added one point from the foul line before Laizure drilled another long-ball. Despite the effort from the Lady Warriors, they trailed 18-11 at the end of the first quarter.

Carrollton BOE hears update BCC to hold open house on backpack food program Feb. 26 for adult education By NANCY SCHAAR FPS Correspondent

Nutrition Director Barb Burns and teacher Mrs. Belinda Mach presented a video showing Carrollton School Board members how their nutrition program for students is appreciated. The project began a few years ago when Burns noticed there were children in the district who went hungry on weekends because of situations in the home and the lack of food provided for them by a parent or caregiver. Burns began sending small bags of snack items home on weekends with about 50 children and the great need of many other children soon became apparent. Burns contacted Mach, who sponsors the high school group, CHS – Caring, Helping and Sharing Club, and the students were ready to help. Students meet every Thursday after school in the cafeteria and pack the meal bags that are sent home with children on Friday afternoons. The program was called Blessings in a Backpack. Mach said they aren’t allowed to call it that anymore but simply say BIP. Last September, the club was alarmed when they learned their funding through a grant from the Ohio Department of Health had been done away with. The students knew how much 275 students in the district would suffer without the aid of the food for weekends. Each bag contains two breakfast items, two lunch items and two snacks and a juice box or hot chocolate. A typical bag will

contain a can of soup, applesauce, donuts, beef stick, goldfish crackers, and similar items. Students that qualify for a free or reduced lunch qualify for the weekend meals but their parents must sign permission for them to participate. The 36-week-long program costs about $22,000 a year and when broken down that is about $2.50 per student. Donations were sought and poured in when the need became known. Carrollton teachers were the first to step forward. It was determined that it would cost $100 to sponsor one child for a school year. Teachers dug deep and raised thousands of dollars. A reward offered by the high school Principal Dave Davis permitted the teachers who contributed to wear jeans one day a month to work. “It just poured in and we met our goal. We have enough to last through September or maybe October of the next school year. We had 132 sponsors and raised $138,000,” said Burns. Burns thanked the teachers, members of the community, foundations, clubs, civic organizations, and companies. The teachers of the students in the program are discreetly provided with the bags for students in their classrooms. While children are at recess or involved in an activity, a teacher will slip the food bag into the students backpack. Those that participate are taken care of without revealing their identities to classmates. The video shown to board members was presented by a company that donated to the program but wishes their identity to be kept unknown. It contained comments from school nurses, teachers, principals and

students as they tell just how much these bags of food are needed and appreciated. Mach said it means a great deal to the students who help bag the food each week. They know that they are making a difference, a very big difference in a child’s life. Anyone wishing to make a donation to continue this program for the next school year may do so by mailing a donation to the Carrollton Board of Education at Carrollton Schools, 252 Third Street NE, Carrollton, OH 44615.

Paperworks & More returns to downtown Carrollton By GEORGETTE HUFF FPS Contributor After several years in the “suburbs,” Paperworks & More has returned to downtown Carrollton. Established as a branch of Malvern-based Gordon’s Printing in 1998, the business was first located at 30 Public Square, in a building owned by Brad and Helen Lewis. Upon becoming sole owners of the business in 2008, the Lewises changed the name to Paperworks & More and have twice moved the business, first to a location on North Lisbon Street and then to the Carroll County Industrial Park on state Route 332, south of the village. In November 2018, Paperworks & More moved to its current location at 32 W. Main Street. While some basic office supplies are kept in stock, the shop’s merchandise mix has evolved over the years and now showcases selections from wellknown makers including wall art and mugs from Ohio-based P. Graham Dunn and Joanna Gaines’ Magnolia House line of soaps, lotions, candles and oil diffusers. Works produced by local artisans are featured, including jewelry by Janet Smith, handmade bar soaps by Kristen Buchanan, and John Miller’s stoneware pottery. Framed collages created by Helen Lewis are also available. A charming children’s section includes books, blankets and swaddlers, and a selection of plush stuffed animals by Bun-

CNB’s Chili Cook-off raises funds for BBBS The Carrollton branch staff of Consumers National Bank held its 11th annual Chili Cook Off on Friday, Feb. 1, and raised more than $579.90 for Big Brothers Big Sisters. Carrollton Sales and Service Manager Missy Naylor and her staff each cooked their own personal chili recipe and invited customers and neighbors to vote for their favorite chili recipe by placing a small donation in cans marked for each pot of chili. The winning chili cooked by Tonya Green received $92 in votes. Second place was captured by Michele Catlett, whose chili received $52 in votes. Katina

McCune received the Chairman’s Award, Tonya Green received the Mayor’s Award, and Michele Catlett received the Big Brothers/ Big Sisters Award. The coveted President’s Award was presented to Sue Locke by Consumers National Bank President Ralph J. Lober, II. “We look forward to our chili cook off fundraiser each year,” said Naylor. “Through donations given as votes for their favorite chili, customers help us raise much needed funds for Big Brothers/Big Sisters. We had some great chili recipes to choose from and it was a lot of fun for us and the community,” said Naylor.
