Remembering Maynard Buck, Jr.

Former FPS owner and publisher, 89, passes away

A pioneer in the Ohio newspaper publishing and printing industry has died.

Maynard A. Buck Jr., former owner and publisher of The Free Press Standard, Freeport Press and Harrison News Herald, passed away Friday, Feb. 22, in Westlake, where he had resided since 2011.

Maynard, who was affectionately known by his late wife, Anne, as “Mick”, also owned and operated the former Carrollton Graphics Printing Company in Carrollton, formerly known the Standard Printing Company. Buck purchased The Free Press Standard and Standard Printing Co., founded and operated by the late Glenn and Jane Brenneman, in 1975.

He sold the Carrollton Graphics plant in 1992 and The FPS to David Schloss in January 2015.

Buck was president of the Freeport Press, Inc., a commercial printing plant in Freeport, from 1956 to 1986 when

he sold the company. He also was the owner of the Harrison News-Herald, a weekly newspaper in Cadiz, until he sold it in 1992.

During his astute and successful newspaper publishing and printing career, Buck was the major stockholder in a color separation company, American Colorscans, Inc. in Columbus, OH, having sold it in 1993.

His professional memberships included serving as a president of the Ohio Newspaper Association in 1982 and 1983 and chairman of the Association’s Board of Trustees in 1984 and 1985.

In 1985, Buck received the Ohio Newspaper Association’s Presidents Award for outstanding service to the Ohio newspaper industry. In 1986, he was the 31st recipient of the William Taylor Distinguished Alumnus Award from Kent State University’s School of Journalism.

Perhaps one of the highlights of the Bucks’ newspaper career was in Feb-

MAYNARD A. BUCK, JR. ruary 2015 when Maynard and Anne were honored as one of eight families with the First Families of Ohio News-

paper award at the annual Ohio Newspaper Association’s convention in Columbus.

His civic service included ten years on the Harrison Community Hospital Board of Trustees and chairman of a drive to raise funds to build the hospital. He also served two terms on the Cadiz Board of Education and was president of the Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District’s Board of Directors, having been a member of the board for 20 years.

Upon the announcement of his death Friday, tributes poured in on Facebook and to The Free Press Standard.

Among those were David Schloss, current owner and publisher of The Free Press Standard, who said “As community newspapers remain a source of historical significance in our society, so will Maynard’s contribution to the industry. He was an admirable businessman and local publisher whom I respected and was blessed to have as

a mentor. I join his many friends and family members mourning his passing.”

Also responding with condolences on behalf of the Ohio Newspaper Association was Dennis Hetzel, president/ Executive Director of Ohio Media Association/Ad Ohio, who released the following comments: “The Ohio News Media Association joins Maynard’s many family members and friends in mourning his passing.

Being a newspaper publisher means being a servant leader. He embraced that role to support his communities and the entire Ohio newspaper industry. We particularly appreciate his many years of service on the Ohio Newspaper Association board of trustees and as our board president in 1982 and 1983.”

A Free Press Standard staff member said Maynard’s legacy will be fondly remembered by his family and colleagues for years to come.

Strong winds cause power outages, property damage

By NANCY SCHAAR FPS Correspondent

Carroll County Emergency Management Agency Director Tom Cottis informed county commissioners Monday morning about the damage across the county from the high winds that hit the county Saturday evening, all day Sunday and into Monday morning.

Cottis said there are still many areas of the county that are without power.

“The Leesville and Sherrodsville areas were hit pretty hard. We had a tree fall on a home. The Leesville substation is still out and that affects a lot of people,” said Cottis.

Monday morning the Carroll County Co-op reported 1600 residents were still without power, Ohio Edison had 455 still dark, and American Electric Power had about 1700 without power.

AEP’s Dave Wheeler had told Cottis that they were working a 16 hour day on Monday and had extra workers brought in to assist with the outages.

Cottis said some power might not be restored until Wednesday, February 27. Residents were advised that the Scio Fire Department is set up as a warming center and shelter if anyone is in need of help.

“You have to have the need before you can open a shelter or a warming station. Carroll County is certainly ready to do that for anyone that needs assis-

tance. But we have opened shelters before and no one ever came. Volunteers show up wanting to help, but residents don’t come to the shelters,” said Cottis.

“We can meet the need if we know about it. There are options available for county residents,” said Wirkner.

Cottis said he wished the new weather station that is being set up at the county airport had been operational during this storm. He would have liked to have known how strong those winds were.

Wirkner and Cottis said they are hoping to have the county meet storm ready classification. One goal that needs completed before that is to provide weather radios in all schools in the county. There will also be storm watch classes held this fall.

“The weather station is our foundation for all of this. We need to help prepare the county and to protect our children,” said Wirkner.

Cottis gave credit to the trimming of trees last summer by electric company employees. He said many trees were cleared that were in the right of way of power lines. Cottis believed that helped keep the power on for many residents.

Carroll County Sheriff Dale Williams said Monday that the whole county seemed to get the strong winds.

“Damage was reported from all areas of the county. Trees down, power lines down, a few roads blocked, there was a lot of damage all over the county. Two electric poles in front of the new Taco Bell on Canton Road were snapped

off. A lot of people were hunting their garbage cans on Monday too,” said Williams.

The roads have been cleared, none are

still closed, and although there was a lot of damage there were no reports of injuries or vehicle accidents from debris on the roads, according to Wil-

liams.

“The electric is still off in places but I know they are working hard to get it restored,” said Williams.

Resident’s well passes inspection

By NANCY SCHAAR FPS Correspondent

Finally, a county resident has received a good report for her well inspection and final paperwork has been submitted to the State Health Department in Columbus.

Over a year ago, a resident received funds from the Community Housing Impact and Preservation Grant program to have a new well drilled and installed.

Bill Burgan, owner of American Drilling and Plumbing of Stone Creek, was hired to drill the well. He dug the first hole and it failed and was partially filled in. He drilled a second well but the pump fell in on it and Burgan walked away.

It was later found that the second well was drilled only 29 ½ inches away from the first well.

Law requires it must be at least 10 feet from any other well.

After the State Health Department held the $10,000 bond posted by Burgan he finally drilled another well and connected the water to the resident’s home.

The state was within its right to hold the bond which could not be released back to Burgan until a proper well was completed and he was not permitted to drill any other wells anywhere in the state until he paid back the bond amount.

that things had been resolved until board member Sean Speedy pointed out that the county still did not get what they had contracted for. Commissioners were made aware that the county paid for a 300 foot well but they did not receive that. The final well that Burgan dug was only 120 feet deep.

Commissioners continue to investigate the matter.

Commissioners learn about jobs available for residents

By NANCY SCHAAR FPS Correspondent Carroll County Commissioners learned from Mary Albaugh that numerous jobs are available to county residents.

Albaugh is the recruiting assistant for the census bureau. She manages several counties right now, but is ready to hire managers for each county and census workers as well.

Albaugh explained that though the census is not conducted until 2020, there is a lot of preliminary work that needs done before the actual census.

Albaugh advised these jobs are not the going door to door census jobs that most people think of.

Pay will range from $14 to $27 per hour and you will be paid 58 cents per mile as well for most duties.

“Veterans get the first preference. These are jobs that can be done on the side, evenings, or weekends. But no work is permitted on Sundays,” said Albaugh.

The jobs will last from 18 months up to 24 months. The District Office is in New Philadelphia and there is no required drug test. Albaugh needs to hire a recruiter from Carroll County, an assistant recruiter and someone in management position. The main office is in Steubenville.

Albaugh said the jobs provide great pay, have flexible hours, weekly pay, and paid training. For anyone that is interested email her at mary.j.albaugh@2020census.gov.

A brief discussion was held regarding the purchase of vehicles for various departments in the county.

Commissioner Bob Wirkner said his office was surprised when asked to sign documents regarding the purchase of a new vehicle that they had not heard about.

“Anything like this should come to commissioners before it’s ordered. We don’t want to infringe on legal responsibilities of elected officials. Each has executive powers and we don’t want to infringe upon them but it would be a courtesy if they’d let us know about these purchases,” said Wirkner.

Commissioners again discussed the tree issue at the county airport. The Carroll County Airport Authority Board was notified in 2014 that trees at the end of the runway, not on county property, needed cut because it was impairing the visual approach to the airport runway.

The airport board members talked to property owners last year but have not been able to reach a resolution. Wirkner believed there were two options, either cut the trees or shorten the runway.

The board recently asked for help from commissioners to pay the owners for the trees that need to be cut.

Commissioner Lewis Mickley sent a letter to the county prosecutor to determine the responsibilities for the cost of the tree cutting. Mickley said the prosecutor sent back a few questions to answer and to receive more information.

“A shorter runway would not be good for the long term of the airport. Hopefully there is a resolution with the neighbors.

It would severely limit what aircraft come in. It would severely impact jet fuel sales,” continued Mickley.

“This is an important part of our infrastructure. It could be critical to the county,” said Wirkner.

Mickley will continue to work with the county prosecutor for a resolution to the matter.

CEBCO (County Employee Benefits Consortium of Ohio) Benefit Specialist Wendy Dillingham presented the quarterly report to commissioners.

Commissioners learned that although they had slightly more

than $3 million in claims in 2018, their portion was only $100,000 for each million.

The pool of other groups in the consortium paid the rest of the claims at no additional cost to Carroll County.

One large claim to Akron Children’s hospital was more than $1 million.

With information from Dillingham, commissioners agreed to research the cost for dental and vision insurance through CEBCO. In other business, commissioners: - ANNOUNCED Emergency Services Appreciation Day will be held Monday, March 4 during the commissioner’s regular meeting.

- OPENED the only bid for the 2018 Water Pollution Control Loan Fund from John Stewart Excavating for one septic system to be installed at $12,500. The bid was tabled until February 28.

- AUTHORIZED an amendment to the contract with Perspectus for the bell tower project. The $97,000 contract includes design and construction.

- INCREASED the bond for the sheriff to $72,367 for 2019.

- APPROVED a resolution that will permit the auction of county property not needed anymore. Items will be from the Common Pleas Court, the Prosecutor’s office and the maintenance department and others.

- TABLED guardrail project bids until Feb. 28.

- RECEIVED the dog pound report for Feb. 17 with four impounded, four adopted out, one redeemed, none destroyed, one citation for no license and zero citations for running at large.

The report for Feb. 23 shows eight impounded, seven adopted out, one redeemed, zero destroyed, five citations for no license and no citations for running at large.

John Gregg hosts math, art events March 7 John Gregg Elementary School is opening its doors to students and their families to showcase math-based skills and artistic talents March 7.

Principal Tammy Burchfield said the second annual Family Math Night will run in conjunction with the third annual school art show from 6-7:30 p.m. It is the first time the events have been held together and the goal is to bring families into the school to view different sides of their student’s creativity.

During Family Math Night, activities will be available for grades K-6 to help kids learn while having fun.

“They are math activities that can easily be played at home,” Burchfield said. “Families always ask what they can do at home and this encourages the kids to think mathematically.

We give them games they can do.”

Eight to 10 activities will be offered to the grade levels, ranging from a Bingo-like counting game to one that uses addition through multiplication. Burchfield said students will also receive flashcards to build their skills at home.

Meanwhile, families can also take in the art show and see their student’s talents on display. Art teacher Kelly Dopp said students in each grade level will have original creations on hand and items will be exhibited along the school hallway and in the art room.

“This year’s art show theme is ‘Wild Things’ and each grade level has completed an animal-themed project,” she said.

“Most of the projects showcase multiple art media or multiple art techniques. The purpose of the art show is for students to show off their artwork and skills from the year.”

Dopp added that the venue also provides a forum for students to discuss art with their families and creativity is an important outlet for the pupils.

“It’s exciting for them to have an opportunity to highlight their originality and divergent thinking to their families. Some of the grade-level projects were influenced by famous artists.

Various grade levels studied different artists and used them to influence their work. Hopefully, the families will learn a little more about the wide range of

art styles by viewing these different works. Artists as important as French Impressionistic painter Paul Klee and as relatable as children’s book illustrator Lois Elhert will be showcased.”

Additionally, Dopp said Stanton Elementary will host its art show April 8.

Carrollton Village Council agreed to hire a seasonal laborer to work from April to October or perhaps May to November depending on the spring weather this year.

The job would be for a maximum of 30 hours per week at a rate of $12 per hour.

Village Administrator Mark Wells said that due to the weather from last summer, many projects in the village were not able to be completed.

Wells said that the village hasn’t hired a helper for a couple of years but certainly needs one this year.

The job will include some

mowing, painting, fall leave clean up, and numerous other small projects.

Utilizing a seasonal worker for the smaller jobs will enable the street department to work in two teams and repair or install new catch basins, storm sewers, replace old pipe and other larger projects.

Mayor William Stoneman reported that he had spoken with representatives regarding the proposed gas tax increase.

Stoneman said the village would receive more than $88,000 in 2020 over what is currently received for the gas tax. Stoneman said that figure is expected if the tax is imposed all at once.

The village would receive from $4,000 to $5,000 more each year after that.

In other business council: - LEARNED that the Ohio

Department of Transportation plans to repave state Routes 9, 39, 43, and 332 that are contained within the village limits of Carrollton. The mayor advised that any curb, catch basin, or gas line work should be done prior to the paving project.

- SCHEDULED a work session to be held March 18 at 6 p.m.

- WILL appoint a committee to develop a strategy to protect the water source of the village.

Wells wants representation on the committee from local farmers, the drilling business and from the schools.

- ANNOUNCED a planning committee meeting will be held March 25 at 6 p.m. to discuss a piece of property currently for sale on Canton Rd. The owners are requesting it be changed from residential to commercial.

Grants benefit learning at Southern Local Grant funding is benefitting Southern Local Schools as buildings implement programs targeting student learning.

Two new projects will be implemented at Southern Local High School following the announcement of a $25,000 total windfall for the site, while Southern Local Elementary is seeing great returns on another program started over the past year. School board officials learned the good news during the regular session Feb. 13, where Superintendent Tom Cunningham said SLHS received a $15,000 Project Lead the Way Gateway grant through the Columbiana County Educational Service Center to provide project-based learning in computer science, coding and robotics. The program impacts sixth-graders and hopes are to continue it through high school.

“We decided to look at the middle school and [this funding] goes for software and computer technology as well as one teacher,” he said. “It’s a three-year grant with $10,000 the first year, $5,000 the second year and the district has to support it at least one more year.”

Students would work individually or in small groups to design solutions to problems and Cunningham said Wellsville City Schools received similar funding several years ago to implement the program.

“We’re hoping to continue it all the way through high school and will look for other grants and see what we can do to lay that foundation.”

Cunningham added that the high school also received a $10,000 Health Informatics grant which will focus on healthbased studies. The district has been in talks with Eastern Gateway Community College to potentially provide College Credit Plus courses for the program.

“With the Health Informatics grant, we hope to be on our way to working with medical science opportunities,” he commented.

SLHS Principal Tony DelBoccio, who was absent from the session, later explained that the funding was provided through the Southern Regional Educational Board and would be implemented during the 201920 school year for freshmen through seniors.

“Health Informatics provides four classes and students get the background to go into the health field, from registered nursing to health coding,” DelBoccio said, adding that plans are to hopefully partner with Functional Pathways LLC for job shadowing and internships at sites in Columbiana County. “The overall thought is to have students take classes covered by the grant, so by the time they are in college they will gain career and college credits.”

Dr. Marci Higgins, intervention/digital/library specialist at the school, will instruct classes for students to give them ideas for potential careers before they head to college.

“It’s to try to dispel myths and show what healthcare fields are really about,” Dr. Higgins added.

“We’re waiting to hear from EGCC to see if we can get it as a College Credit Plus course and hopefully we’d have students take part in that great opportunity,” Cunningham said. “We have some good things coming up next year.”

Meanwhile, SLES Principal Kristy Sampson said her school was gaining notice for its usage of a Striving Readers Comprehensive Literacy Grant through the Jefferson County ESC. JCESC was among 46 sites in Ohio to obtain the $500,000 grant through the Ohio Depart-

ment of Education last spring.

The U.S. Department of Education previously awarded $35 million to the state and approximately 95 percent of the funding was distributed directly to local schools or early childhood providers to improve literacy outcomes for children from birth through grade 12. The threeyear grant will focus on serving the greatest numbers of students living in poverty, students with disabilities, English learners and students identified as having reading difficulties. In addition to Southern, four other local school districts have enacted the program in their elementary schools including Buckeye Local, Harrison Hills and Toronto City Schools while Indian Creek uses its portion to benefit both elementary and middle school pupils.

Sampson said Carri Meek, instructional coach and CEO of Instructional Growth Seminars and Support, was contracted through JCESC to work with teachers and was leading a professional development session at Southern Feb. 19. Meek has worked with English/Language Arts teachers in grades K-8 as part of the program and Sampson said her school was making great strides.

“The K-6 staff has been participating in the Striving Readers grants in collaboration with other schools and the ESC,” she said. “We’re currently looking at intervention strategies and JCESC contracted with Carri Meek to provide training. We have seen an increase between fall and winter through our STAR assessments, so we are seeing results.”

She said the professional development would focus on brain research and students’ learning strategies, while JCESC was sending representatives to the school in March to review how it was being implemented.

“JCESC is using us as a model because we’ve shown the most student achievements and have been most compliant with the grant.”

In other action, the Board: - APPROVED sports personnel for the 2018-19 school year, including Chris Ingledue as volunteer girls’ basketball coach; Kathy Randolph, head girls’ track coach; James Malone, assistant girls’ track coach; Mike Skrinjar, head boys’ track coach; Kyle Exline, assistant boys’ track coach; Brenda Kekel, junior high boys’ track coach; Rich Sloan, junior high girls’ track coach; Brent Boyle, softball head coach; Andrew Vulgamore, softball assistant coach; Marci Higgins, softball assistant coach; Jason Glover, baseball head coach; Gerard Grimm, assistant baseball coach; Chris Lewis, assistant baseball coach; and Kyler Woodward, volunteer track assistant.

- APPROVED substitute personnel including Claire McIntosh as mechanics helper; Robert Davidson, custodian and cafeteria; Calvin Sell, custodian; Nicole Fisher, teacher; and Kathleen Venum, teacher.

- APPROVED a memorandum of understanding with Eastern Gateway Community College for College Credit Plus.

- AGREED to pay Utica Shale Academy $4,349.20 for adjustments made to the Fiscal Year 2018 management fee.

- APPROVED overtime pay for fiscal staff, including district Treasurer Greg Sabbato, Julie Dowling and Debbie Lyle for integrating an updated state software system.

The overtime will be for $25 an hour not to exceed 20 hours per week. Sabbato explained the update was mandated and the process should take two months.

Edison band hosting blood drive Friday The Edison High School Marching Band is hosting a blood drive 8 a.m.-1:30 p.m.

March 1 in the school gym.

Donors from the school and community can attend the event, which is being held in conjunction with the American Red Cross. Band Director Marc Sansone said the band students will oversee stations while Red Cross officials will coordinate the blood collection.

“People can register online with RapidPass, which saves time on registration at school,” Sansone said, adding that walkins will be accepted. Donors must be 16 years old or older

and in good health to participate.

He said the blood drive is a community service project and the previous event in November drew 35 units. If the band exceeds that amount, the Red Cross will provide scholarship funds to a graduating member.

Last year, a $1,000 contribution was given to benefit three students, with one $500 award and two $250 scholarships presented to seniors.

“Our goal is 36 units,” he commented. “We’re trying to help save lives, but we are also eligible for a scholarship if we surpass 70 units.”

Edison BOE reviews expansion project The Edison Local Board of Education is looking to expand amenities at the Edison High School campus, and Thursday they secured a contract with a firm to review options.

During the Feb. 21 session, officials approved a contract with MS Consultants of Youngstown to create a program design for future facilities at the high school.

Superintendent Bill Beattie said the move is preliminary and there was no set timeline for work, but leaders hope to provide sporting and other facilities in a more centralized location.

“We are looking into a new 2,500-seat gymnasium and potentially an indoor, all-purpose facility and baseball, softball and track facilities, as well,” Beattie said. “We’re looking to potentially host everything on the current campus, including graduation.

We are also looking to build a new transportation complex at the high school.”

The move, he said, would maintain them in one spot and save on travel for sports. The baseball and softball fields are currently located near Jefferson State Lake and athletes also hold track practice and meets at the Stanton Elementary site. Additionally, junior high basketball practice takes place in the Stanton gym. Beattie said the idea has been on the board’s agenda since January and talks were informal for now, but the track project may be first on the list. A meeting was set for March 6 with the Massillon-based construction firm The Vasco Group to discuss it further.

There were no cost estimates or work timelines at this time, but officials believe this is the first step to bring the ideas to fruition.

“We will meet with MS and start to develop a program design for the facilities and discuss what we need to do to move forward. We will try to get the costs associated with it and hope to have it over the next two or three months.”

In other news, the board learned that EHS will roll out a new pilot project to provide 1:1 Chromebooks for seventh-graders. The initiative will be implemented for the remainder of the year, at which time officials will determine whether to expand it to other grades.

“If the pilot project works out, we plan to expand it to seventhto ninth-grade students during the 2019-20 school year,” Beattie added. “We will make a decision at the end of the year whether or

not to roll it out further.”

The board also took a series of action on personnel and approved Paul Zelich, Thomas Peck and short-term employee Arika Coffy as additions to the substitute teacher list.

Officials also accepted resignations from EHS teacher Jaye Taylor, effective at the end of the school year; school secretary Darlene Mason, effective May 31 for retirement purposes with 30 years of service; bus driver Joe Atkins, effective Feb. 8; and custodian Jim Still, effective Feb. 12.

The board further hired Nicole Herrmann as a tutor for Edison students attending Bishop John King Mussio, utilizing Title I Non-Public funds and not to exceed 66 hours, and also approved Terry Gooch as a bus driver. Meanwhile, supplemental contracts were approved for Todd Smith as head volleyball coach, Tony Kovalesky as Indian League director and Shane O’Brien for junior high track.

In other matters, the Board: HEARD from EHS teacher David Schultz and his government class, who were on hand to observe the session; APPROVED the school calendar for 2019-20 with classes beginning Aug. 21 and ending May 21; ENTERED into an agreement with Eastern Gateway Community College for Dual Credit Coursework with the cost being based on the number of students enrolled in College Credit Plus; AGREED to revise student handbooks for all three district schools; APPROVED an overnight trip for the EHS Band from May 1618 in Cincinnati, the Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton and Columbus; APPROVED a contract with Strategic Solutions based in Columbus for paperless recordkeeping; ACCEPTED a $440 donation from Christ United Methodist Church for the Paws Pantry and a $200 contribution from Jim Blackburn in memory of Gary W. Cain; RETURNED a $50,000 advance from the cafeteria to the general fund; HELD an Executive session regarding negotiations with members of the Edison School District classified employees who are members of the Ohio Association of Public School Employees whose contract expired in 2018.

Guest Column - Finding Your Ancestors

By NANCY SCHAAR FPS Correspondent, Historian & Professional Genealogist

Since I began this history and genealogy column, I have had an assortment of comments from our readers.

Many have appreciated the instruction in learning how to use primary records and how to begin researching their family lines.

But last month’s column received the most comments and people said they want more stories like that. I’m not sure about the reasons for those comments, but they made me smile. I think people enjoyed the image of me falling flat on my face on a grave in an old, out-of-the-way cemetery.

We have searched for ancestors and those of clients in many counties and in many states.

We’ve been all over Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, North Carolina, Connecticut, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, New Jersey, and many others.

I love to research in Frederick County, Maryland. Everyone has always been helpful and courteous in helping me find the old records I needed. A large part of the early population of Jefferson, Harrison, Carroll, and Tuscarawas counties came from that part of Maryland. Several of my family lines came through there as well. Plus there is always the bonus of the old downtown area filled with wonderful antique stores.

I had finished the courthouse research, and the sun was shining so I thought we (my husband Keith and I) should head out to find the family cemetery we needed for the client. We had specific instructions from the librarian and historian at the public library.

We followed their written instructions perfectly, but I think she must have left out one step.

We thought we were on the correct old dirt road that led to the cemetery out in the boon docks when suddenly the road ended and we were facing a very high, very fortified fence that disappeared into the woods around us.

The heavy razor wire along the top of the fence certainly was a

clue we were in the wrong place.

We stopped, of course, and were reviewing the librarian’s directions when suddenly very large men, dressed all in black, highly armed with large weapons pointed at us appeared out of the woods. We froze. Well, maybe they just appeared larger to me at the moment.

We were not in Oz anymore.

We rolled down our windows and the large men asked who we were and where were we going.

We both tried to answer and Keith found his voice before I did. He explained we were genealogists and hunting an old family cemetery and showed them our directions.

He very quickly explained to us that we were in the wrong place and needed to turn the car around and leave.

I didn’t think we could possibly look like dangerous people, but they sure looked that way to me.

We did not argue. We did what he said. We tried the directions again and found a small sign down in the weeds that showed where we should have turned.

We found the cemetery, took photos for the client of his ancestor’s tombstones and headed back to the courthouse. We had found a few more generations for the client and needed to look for their wills, estate records, deeds, etc.

When we got back to the courthouse they asked if we had any trouble finding the cemetery. We explained not on the second try but we were someplace else on the first try.

We explained to the clerk at the courthouse where we ended up, the fence, the guards, the guns.

She started to chuckle and said we had found Camp David.

We found what?

I guess I hadn’t realized that Camp David was there. And the heavy guards were due to the fact that the President at that time was spending a long weekend there.

So if you are ever looking for an old cemetery on the back side of old South Mountain, and you drive up to that fence, quickly turn around and head back to town.

As always, if you have any questions or need help in finding your ancestors, please give me a call or an email at The Free Press Standard, fps44615@yahoo.com.

Is There Enough Evidence to Convict Me of Being a Christian?

Matthew 7:16-20 - Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

When someone speaks your name, what are people’s thoughts?

“This is a good person or a bad person; This is a fake Christian or a genuine Christian”. Jesus made it very clear there is no such thing as a sinner-saint. You are a Christian, or you’re not; just the same as an apple tree cannot produce pears. If we claim to be a Christian and produce the fruit of worldliness, we will be cast into the fire.

Jesus said by their fruits you will know them. We are known by the company we keep, what we say, where we go, what we do. We must bear the fruit of Christianity.

John 15:5 - I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.

To be true Christians, we must stay connected to Jesus. When we put Jesus first, we will bear the right fruit. What is the evidence of fruit bearing?

Romans 10:9-11 - That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on Him shall not be ashamed.

These verses are written to saints of God, (Romans 1:7 - To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints) telling us how to bear fruit: 1) Every day you must confess Jesus, with your mouth, that we serve a risen Saviour.

2) Our hearts will be filled with righteousness. Confessing Jesus to the world keeps us saved, keeps us bearing fruit.

3) We should never be ashamed of Jesus, whom we believe in. It’s called witnessing!

Luke 9:26 - For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when He shall come in His own glory, and in His Father’s and of the holy angels.

There will be trials that will come to test our Christianity.

I Peter 4:12 - Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you.

What do we do when the tests come? Do we go back to our sinful nature or do we bear the fruit of Christ? I read a story about a man that was cut off in traffic and made several gestures to the one who cut him off. A police officer immediately pulled him over. The man confessed to the gestures and said “I did not know this was illegal.” The police officer replied “I pulled you over because you have a bumper sticker that says ‘I am a Christian’. I thought the car was stolen!” II Corinthians 3:2 - Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men.

The world is watching to see what fruit we bear. Like a balloon, when there is enough pressure applied, what’s inside will come out.

So the question only you can answer: Is there enough evidence to convict you of being a Christian?

Free Press Standard | OPINION

By CAPT. CHARLES PEARSON

U.S. Marine Corps, ret.

Joseph J. Cicchetti of Waynesburg, Ohio, served with the U. S. Army company A, 148 Infantry, 37th Infantry Division during World War II. He served in South Manila, Luzon and the Philippine Islands.

On Dec. 8, 1945, he was with troops who were attacking the enemy’s first line of defense on Manila. The Japanese had converted the partially destroyed huge fuel depots and adjacent

buildings into a strongpoint equipped with machine guns, mortars and heavy artillery fire that was concentrated squarely on our attacking troops.

Casualties mounted quickly and the medics were forced to ask for additional assistance to evacuate the wounded. PFC Cicchetti quickly responded and organized a “litter team” and skillfully led it for more than four hours in rescuing 14 wounded men. He and his “litter team” constantly passed back and forth over an open field of fire 400 yards in length under intense fire to accomplish the rescues.

Applause

On one return trip, the path was completely blocked by machine gun fire, but PFC Cicchetti drew attention to himself, drawing fire and returning fire with his own rifle.

As he drew the fire on himself, he ordered the rest of his team to rush past to safety with the wounded.

While gallantry continuing his work, he noticed a group of wounded soldiers some distance away. He ran through increased enemy fire to rescue them. As he approached the wounded, he was struck in the head by a shell fragment, but with complete disregard of his

gaping wound, he continued to help his comrades. He carried one soldier 50 yards to safety before he collapsed and died.

He was given the Medal of Honor posthumously for his leadership, indomitable will and dauntless courage for his actions under fire. His actions saved the lives of many of his fellow soldiers at the cost of his own. He should not be forgotten.

Please keep all of our service personnel and their families n in your prayers.

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

On behalf of Boy Scout Troop 141, I want to thank all who came and supported our ham dinner.

Everyone made it a great success! It takes a great community to help us raise good young adults.

Special thanks go out to all who donated their time to help us cook and serve behind the scenes. Thank so much to Bill Abrahims at Betty Kaye Bakery for getting supplies and cooking the hams and kitchen help Todd Rutledge, Dan Reese, Bob Stewart, Lavern Davenport, Terri Simmons, Cliff Calvert, Masaon McLaughlin, Lori Schlabach, Jimmy’s BBQ, Ponderosa and First United Methodist Church. Thanks to all who let us put signs up, as well as the neon sign at the fairgrounds. With the help of Tom Konst and Jeff Tipton, we were able to deliver about 40 meals to the sick and homebound people for whom we used donated tickets to make this happen.

Above all, it was great to see all those familiar faces. It seems we have become a tradition for Carroll County. All the money earned stays in our troop here in Carrollton.

I am proud of Virgil Schlabach for keeping the troop strong and steady since I stepped down as scoutmaster, and knows I will always be here to help when needed.

Sincerely with thanks, Mark W. Walters Carrollton

Hi kids! Before you know it we will all be outside soon enjoying the nice warm weather of spring, but until then read and then read some more!

Since we just celebrated President’s Day, I thought this would be a cool subject to read about. Perfect for a school book report or for extra credit. You will learn about freedom of the press, freedom of religion, freedom of assembly, and liberty for all. The Constitution was written By the People For the People so we can experience Liberty for All! Last winter our son and his family went to see the Statue of Liberty. They all said she was breathtaking. Years ago before our granddaughters were born, we went to Washington D.C. with the same son and his wife. We visited the U.S. Capitol building and the Lincoln Memorial. If you ever get a chance to visit this exciting place, do it!

Warriors win sixth consecutive sectional title

Six Warriors win sectional championships; 11 advance to district tournament

By JORDAN MILLER

Sports Editor

URICHSVILLE - Six champions. Six straight sectional championships. Six seemed to be the magic number for Carrollton Saturday at the sectional tournament.

The Warriors wrestling team advanced 11 of their 14 wrestlers to the district tournament Friday.

Winning championships for the Warriors were: David Woolever (106 lbs.), Domanick Speelman (126 lbs.), Ben Pasiuk (160 lbs.), Brandon Daniels (170 lbs.), Alex Carrothers (182 lbs.) and Jaret Lane (195 lbs.).

Pasiuk, a senior, won all four of his sectional matches by pin.

His first match of the day, a pin in :21. With :12 remaining in his semifinal match against Minerva’s Khail Louive and on the verge of winning by tech. fall, Pasiuk decided to pin Louive to advance to the sectional championship.

Pasiuk defeated Morgan’s Wesley Pauley with a :29 pin.

Woolever received two byes in the first round and quarterfinal match, so his first match of the day was against River View’s Ben Martin. Woolever recorded a first-period pin against Martin to advance to the finals.

Woolever defeated Minerva’s Drake Decker 9-4 in the championship match.

Speelman, Carrollton’s freshman 126lb. wrestler, recorded a pin and 12-1 major decision to get to the championship match.

His toughest match of the night came against Philo’s Jeremee Richards in the championship match.

Trailing 4-3, Richards escaped Speelman’s grasps as time ticked off the

clock to tie the match at 4-4, sending it to overtime.

Speelman continued his fight, taking Richards down in OT for a 6-4 victory.

Brandon Daniels won the 170-lb. championship by a 14-7 decision over Indian Valley’s Jacob Armstrong.

Alex Carrothers held onto a 4-2 victory over River View’s Dalton Cunningham for the 182-lb. championship.

Jaret Lane narrowly defeated Indian Valley’s Brodey Parsons 3-0.

Other Carrollton wrestlers advancing to districts: Brandon Brown (2nd), Seth Brown (2nd), Connor Clark (3rd), Robbie Hoopes (4th) and Colby Moore (4th).

“This is a great example of them coming and they work hard at practice, they learn. They work well as a team,” Coach Ken Pasiuk said after the Warriors were name sectional champions for the sixth year in a row.

Three of Carrollton’s wrestlers (Nate Blake, Jayden Zbuka and Justin Richardson) had their seasons ended after not qualifying for districts.

“I’m so excited for the one’s that get to move on because they’re not done.

The next opportunity is there,” Pasiuk said. “As for the ones that don’t get to move on, honestly I’m heartbroken for them because you see these kids work so hard to obtain that next level. When they don’t get that, our job is to keep

them hungry and keep them motivated.”

As the 11 wrestlers who remain prepare for the district tournament, coach Pasiuk has a message for them.

“Take it each match, one match at a time. Don’t look at it bigger than what it is because every match is

Lady Lions defeat Philo; win sectional championship

By JORDAN MILLER

Sports Editor

MINERVA - The Minerva Lady Lions hosted their first-ever home tournament game Wednesday against the John Glenn Muskies, and they were victorious, 40-34.

With the win over the Muskies, the Lady Lions got the chance to host yet another tournament game the following Saturday, when they played the Philo Electrics for the sectional championship.

Against Philo, the Lady Lions jumped out to an early 15-10 lead over the Electrics before running away with a 41-28 win.

Minerva added nine more points in the second quarter, holding Philo to

just one points in the frame. Minerva led 24-11 at halftime.

Philo came out strong in the second half, outscoring Minerva 8-2, but still trailed 26-19 entering the final quarter.

Minerva closed out the game by scoring 15 points in the fourth quarter, while holding Philo to nine.

Addie Rhodes paced the Lady Lions with 15 points on seven shots and a free throw. She also pulled down 12 of Minerva’s 25 rebounds.

Nelle Yankovich scored eight for Minerva, including one three-pointer.

Coletta Miller and Elyssa Imler added six points apiece.

The Minerva Lady Lions were scheduled to be back in action Wednesday, Feb. 27 at West Holmes to take on the Maysville Panthers in the district semifinal.

Warriors end regular season with 53-50 loss to Indian Valley Braves

By CHRIS MODRANSKI

Sports Writer

The Carrollton Warriors boys’ basketball team traveled to Indian Valley High School for a nonconference game Tuesday evening to face the Braves in their final regular season game. The Warriors played tough but ultimately came up just short as the Braves won 53-50 on their senior night.

Carrollton fell behind early to Indian Valley and was nearly doubled up in the first quarter, 13-7. The Warriors found their rhythm by the second frame, as they added 10 points and tailed by eight entering halftime.

Coming out of the half, Indian Valley didn’t let up as they put up 16 points of their own in the third quarter.

Carrollton hung with the Braves with a 15-point third quarter.

The Warriors found themselves down by eight points headed into the final period of the regular season. Carrollton poured in 18 points in the frame but Indian Valley’s 13-point quarter and their ability to capitalize on turnovers was just too much for the Warriors.

“We came out and did not execute or play at the level we had in our winning streak and subsequently put ourselves in a hole at the halftime - to a good team, on their senior night. To our boys credit though, we responded in the second half and actually took a lead with 3 mins to go after being down nine,” Coach Mike Aukerman said following the game. “That is the mantra of this year’s team - the kardiac

kids that refuse to go away. Despite some unfortunate calls and Adam (Chaney) fouling out with 2:30 to play...we had the ball, tied 50-50, and a chance to take the lead but missed a shot from point blank range and their boys made plays down the stretch to pull it out. We executed much better in the second half and played as a team in the fourth quarter and have shown flashes this year of just how good we can be.”

Adam Chaney led the way for the Warriors with 16 points and four rebounds, Jimmy Birong poured in 10 points. Drue Moore added nine points and nine assists while Andrew Gotschall chipped in seven points.

Indian Valley’s Braden Rostad had 17 points and five boards while Ryan Berger added17 points of his own.

Cade Williams contributed 11 points and six rebounds.

Carrollton finishes the regular season with an overall record of 7 for 14 and a 6 for 6 posting in the Eastern Buckeye Conference.

Carrollton will face the winner of the Maysville at John Glenn game on Saturday, March 2 at 7 PM. The game will be held at the winners’ home gym.

“We are putting in a few wrinkles for the tournament and are going to John Glenn on Tuesday with the boys to watch the game (Maysville versus John Glenn) to scout our eventual opponent,” Aukerman said. “The boys are excited about a chance to showcase their ability in March basketball - the most special time of the basketball year.”

How to improve circulation The human body is a complex, efficient machine. One highly important component of that machine is the circulatory system, which sends blood, oxygen and nutrients throughout the body.

In perfectly healthy bodies, blood, oxygen and nutrients circulate throughout the body without issue. However, several conditions, including obesity and diabetes, can contribute to poor circulation, which is not a standalone condition but rather a byproduct of another serious health issue.

According to the health information site Healthline, when the circulatory system is not working at optimal capacity, people may experience tingling, numbness and throbbing or stinging pain in the limbs.

Pain and muscle cramps also may result from poor circulation, the symptoms of which vary depending on the causes.

For example, someone whose circulation issues are a result of peripheral artery disease may experience different symptoms than someone whose circulation has been compromised by diabetes.

Because issues affecting the circulatory system are complex, it’s important for men and women to learn how to address such issues if they suspect their systems have been compromised.

• Visit your physician. Poor circulation results from various health issues, so people who think they are dealing with

poor circulation should not try to address the issue on their own. Rather, the best way to improve circulation is to visit a physician the moment you note a symptom. Doctors will confirm if patients are experiencing circulation issues and diagnose what’s causing those issues.

Doctors also will work with their patients to devise a course of treatment for the issue that’s causing their poor circulation.

• If necessary, lose weight and keep it off. Obesity is one of the conditions that can contribute to poor circulation. So many people who are diagnosed with poor circulation may be advised to lose weight and keep the weight off once it’s been lost.

A 2009 study published in the International Journal of Cardiology found that losing weight helped obese women improve their circulation. A healthy diet that includes fish like salmon

that is high in omega-3 fatty acids, which have been shown to improve circulation, can help people lose weight and maintain healthy weights going forward.

• Consider yoga. A 2014 review of an assortment of peer-reviewed studies found that yoga can have a positive impact on risk factors for cardiovascular disease. A low-impact exercise, yoga can compress and decompress veins, potentially improving circulation. It takes time to master yoga positions, but even beginners who cannot fully perform poses during a yoga regimen can benefit from doing the exercises to the best of their abilities.

Poor circulation is a byproduct of various conditions. Once a condition has been diagnosed, patients can help themselves by taking various steps to improve their circulation.

How to overcome workout boredom Healthy Habits Cooking Class to start March 9 The First Tee of Canton has teamed up with the Junior League of Stark County, Ohio, Inc. to offer a new program in the spring of 2019.

The Healthy Habits cooking program derives from The First Tee Nine Healthy Habits curriculum, which focuses on social, emotional and physical health in young people.

The 5-week program will be offered at The First Tee of Canton’s facility located at 2525 25th St. NE in Canton starting Saturday, March 9. Volunteers from the Junior League will work with the kids to introduce cooking elements and making healthy choices through the program.

“This past year, The Junior League of Stark County has focused its outreach efforts on food sustainability in our community. We are eager to develop the vision of promot-

ing healthy eating habits and instilling valuable cooking skills in the students at The First Tee of Canton,” says Sara Ehret, vice president of Community Impact.

“Teaching young people to make healthy choices in their lives is a very important part of our curriculum and we are excited to partner with The Junior League of Stark County to offer this new program,” states Angela Palomba, executive director.

“Without their involvement this wouldn’t be possible.”

Space is limited to 16 participants ages 9–18. Registration is now open online at www.thefirstteecanton.org. The cost is $45, which includes all needed supplies and an apron for the participants. Scholarships are available.

For more information, please visit www.thefirstteecanton.org or call 330-452-5331.

Even the most ardent fitness enthusiasts sometimes lack the motivation to exercise. Various factors, including boredom with a fitness regimen, can affect one’s motivation to hit the gym.

Boredom with a workout can sometimes be overcome by an especially effective workout.

But for those instances when boredom is difficult to overcome, men and women who want to stay in shape can try these strategies.

• Join a sports league. A workout doesn’t have to be limited to the weight room or the cardiovascular area of your local gym. If your motivation to workout is waning, consider joining a competitive sports league. Many fitness facilities even offer adults sports leagues on their premises or at nearby parks for outdoor sports. Sports such as racquetball, soccer and boxing or mixed martial arts provide great exercise and opportunities to meet other fit-

ness-minded people. If games or competitions only take place once or twice a week, be sure to supplement your participation with more traditional workouts on off days.

• Take along your tablet. Many fitness facilities now include WiFi internet access with the cost of a membership. People bored with their workouts can take advantage of this perk and take their tablets with them to the gym, watching a favorite television show or movie while burning calories during the cardiovascular portions of their workouts. This gives people bored with their fitness regimens something to look forward to, and the chance to catch up with a popular show might be all the motivation people need to get off the couch and exercise.

• Periodically change your regimen. It’s easy to get bored with a workout if you’re always doing the same repetitive exercises.

Speak with a personal trainer at

your gym and ask for some advice on how to switch things up and still meet your fitness goals.

There’s more than one way to get fit, and periodically changing your exercise regimen can be a great way to shake things up and reinvigorate your interest in exercise.

• Set new goals. Boredom with a workout regimen sometimes creeps in because people have achieved their initial fitness goals and haven’t set new

ones. Whether you have lost the amount of weight you set out to lose or can now squat as much as you set out to squat, set new goals so you have a new carrot dangling on the end of your stick.

Nearly everyone encounters workout boredom at one point another.

Various strategies can help you overcome such a malaise and reinvigorate your enthusiasm for exercising.

“Who Wants to Live Forever” is a song that appeared on the 1986 album “A Kind of Magic” by the rock band Queen. The song often sparks conversation about the potential benefits of immortality .

Immortality may not be possible, but many people aspire to improve their chances to live a long and prosperous life. A study published in the journal Lancet analyzed data from the 2016 Global Burden of Diseases project to generate life expectancy predictions from 2017 to 2040 for most countries.

The United States saw the largest decline in ranking among high-income countries, as life expectancies in the United States are projected to fall from 43rd in 2016 to 64th by 2040, with an average life expectancy of 79.8.

Life expectancy in the U.S. has dropped in each of the past two years, according to annual reports by the National Center for Health Statistics.

But there may be hope for Americans yet. Doctors and scientists continually study the lifestyles of people who outlive their life expectancies. While genetics can play a role, so can following healthy habits, which have been identified to promote longevity.

• Don’t smoke. Many smokers have been told that smoking trims 10 years off their life expectancies, and that statement is corroborated by a study published in 2013 in The New England Journal of Medicine that tracked participants over a span of several years. The good news is people who quit before

the age of 35 can usually regain those lost years.

• Avoid drug use. Accidental drug overdoses contributed to 63,600 deaths in the United States in 2016, according to the National Center for Health Statistics. Usage of prescription opioids and heroin has skyrocketed in recent years. Drug use also may exacerbate mental illnesses, potentially making drug users more vulnerable to suicide.

• Maintain healthy body mass.

Moderate to vigorous exercise regimens and diets loaded with healthy foods can keep weight in check. Maintaining a healthy weight has a host of positive side effects, including reduced risk of dying from cardiovascular disease. Cardiovascular disease is a leading killer in North America. According to the National Center for Health Statistics, nearly four in 10 adults and 18.5 percent of children in the United States are obese.

According to the 2015 Canadian Health Measures Survey, 30 percent of adults in Canada are obese and may require medical support to manage their disease.

• Limit alcohol consumption.

Some evidence suggests that light drinking can be good for cardiovascular health. However, a paper published in the Lancet suggests every glass of wine or pint of beer over the daily recommended limit will cut half an hour from the expected lifespan of a 40-year-old. The paper says the risks are comparable to smoking.

Simple, healthy lifestyle changes can help people increase their life expectancies.

American Electric Power has once again shown its support for Buckeye Career Center and the school’s students.

AEP Ohio has donated a 2006 International Derrick Digger truck to BCC to benefit the Adult Education Utility Lineworker program and future high school Utility Lineworker program. AEP Ohio officials presented the truck to BCC Thursday, Feb. 21.

The vehicle is used to bore holes and set utility poles. In addition, the derrick portion is capable of holding a pole and crane to move materials. The vehicle will allow students to train on equipment they will use in the workforce.

“We do everything from setting the pole, to pole rescue,

relish

and everything there is related to utility linework. This will certainly be a tool we will be able to utilize,” said Adult Education Director Frank Polen.

The truck is estimated to cost at least $100,000 brand new but this used unit is valued between $6,000-$10,000.

“The partnership with AEP has been in place for a long time,” said BCC Superintendent Bob Alsept.

“It’s helped us prepare good employees for them and it’s good for our students to be able to gain skills and move into not just a job but a career.

Anytime we can have a partnership between business and education, that’s a great partnership, and that’s what we’re here for,” said Alsept.

Dave Wheeler, AEP Ohio community and customer experience manager, had similar sentiments.

“It’s really a symbiotic relationship. We provide these kinds of donations, but at the end of the day we get great quality employees who come out of this program,” said Wheeler.

In addition to AEP Ohio and BCC administrators, the Utility Lineworker students, AEP Ohio employees who are also BCC alumni, and local dignitaries attended the recent truck presentation at Buckeye Career Center.
