Center Township’s ‘boring’ meeting brings new questions

By GEORGETTE HUFF FPS Contributor After months of wrangling between the Center Township Board of Trustees and their constituents over a variety of issues including, but not limited to, the condition of some township roads, finances, and complaints about junk cars, the addition of “public participation” to Jan. 28’s meeting agenda signaled a new direction, toward civil discourse and away from the shouting and rude behavior that punctuated meetings over the past months.

Actually, having an agenda at all was a welcome change, as none were available to the public at previous meetings.

The explanation for “public participation” states “Each member of the public will be granted up to 3 minutes to address the board. The board may ask questions for clarification purposes at their discretion.

If questions are asked by the board this will not count as of part of the 3 minutes. Guests invited by the board do not have to yield to the 3 minute time limit.”

Indeed, early in the meeting, the board and a representative of Kinder Morgan discussed the company’s decision to contribute $3,000 toward upcoming repairs on Lindy Lane as well as an extension of a Road Use Maintenance Agreement between the township and Kinder

Morgan through 2022.

The discussion, which was not listed on the agenda, lasted well over three minutes.

The board ticked off the usual agenda items: approved bills for payment, read and approved minutes of the previous meeting, and heard a report from fiscal officer Carolyn Leggett.

Leggett thanked the trustees and employees for their patience with paychecks being late, noting that Marsha Trushel, an experienced fiscal officer, spent a day helping Leggett navigate the complexities of the accounting system, including setting up passwords and appropriating funds into the correct accounts.

Leggett also explained that Theresa Love, a fiscal officer from Harrison County, would continue training beginning on Jan. 29.

Under “old business,” because of questions about the validity of their reorganizational meeting, the trustees approved motions naming Mark Walters chair and Matt Manful vice chair of the board.

The board announced that in the future, notices of special meetings will be posted on the window of the township hall and in the Carrollton post office and will be given to the local newspapers.

The meeting hummed along with no controversy.

Leggett noted the township has received $14,001.01 from the Ohio Emergency Management Agency, as reimbursement

for storm damage repairs.

Walters announced the Ohio Department of Transportation turned down the township’s grant application for repairs to Wood Road due to a lower volume of traffic than some other areas.

The board discussed getting quotes for internet service and road materials, heard that Rick McNinch will write a policy governing the use of township credit cards, and talked about remodeling the office area.

In fact, the meeting went so smoothly, that Union Township resident Tim Thompson described it as “boring.”

And then came #9, the “public participation” line item sandwiched between #8 “trustee reports” and #10 “adjourn meeting” on the agenda.

Comments from township resident Rick Weals were met with silence.

When the FPS questioned the lack of response, McNinch replied that the board could choose not to reply and said he felt the meeting was over.

The FPS then asked if those with issues or concerns might be more likely to get a response if they call ahead and ask to be put on the agenda, and was told

by Manfull, “we’re not putting them on the agenda.”

McNinch then immediately moved for adjournment; the motion was approved, while the question that started much of the wrangling remains: What is the best way to get answers in Center Township?

Sherrodsville inches closer to ambulance service

By NANCY SCHAAR FPS Correspondent

Sherrodsville Village Council met in special session on Monday, Feb. 3, for two purposes.

One was to deliberate contract proposals with Regional EMS for emergency services. The second was to sign a resolution to transfer ownership of a village-owned emergency squad vehicle to Fairfield Township.

The meeting was delayed due to lack of a quorum. Mayor Michelle Higgenbotham made a quick phone call and a fourth member arrived.

Village resident Danny Buckey asked council members why they want to give everything away?

“I’ve watched you for a couple of years now and you just keep giving stuff away. We worked hard to get this stuff and you’re just giving it all away. What’s the rush?” questioned Buckey.

Higgenbotham explained that the newer emergency squad owned by the village has not been used in over two years.

Because it was received from a FEMA grant, the village could not sell it, but is permitted to give it to another government entity.

Michelle Enold, treasurer for Regional EMS, then addressed council.

In December, Enold was given an offer to present to Regional EMS owner Joel Decker regarding the leasing of an older emergency squad and a village building to house it.

At Monday’s meeting, Enold said they are not interested in leasing anything.

“It would take at least $2,000 to get the squad where we could use it. We have three other vehicles of that age. At the end of

the lease we would have no ownership. This is not in Regional’s best interest,” she said.

Enold said that the squad is in terrible shape and has mold and mildew in it.

“If you sell it, we would put in a bid. But we are not interested in leasing,” continued Enold.

Enold then presented three contracts to council members.

The first was the original agreement in which the village gives all the buildings, squads and equipment to Regional.

Village solicitor J. J. Ong said that this offer was not even on the table and council would not consider it.

Enold said that Regional would be glad to provide service to village residents, then added that anything they do for the village would be billed to the village.

Ong stated that the village would not pay without a signed contract, which prompted Enold to question why Regional EMS needs an agreement at all.

“You can’t just come in, you as a business, you can’t send a bill without a contract. Nothing changes until a contract is in place,” said Ong. The second contract states, “REGIONAL will provide emergency and non-emergency ambulance service to residents of VILLAGE in exchange for VILLAGE paying REGIONAL $16 per capita, per year, for the contract period, monthly, retroactive to February 1, 2020”.

Ong asked Enold to explain whether it is a yearly fee or a monthly fee?

Enold went outside to make a phone call and returned stating that the fee would be a yearly fee. The total charged to the village would be $4,864, or $16 per capita for 304 residents. The village population is estimated to be 325.

The third option calls for the

village to pay a flat rate cost per squad run of $750 for a five-year period. For example, if there are no runs in March, the village pays nothing. If there are responses in April, the village will pay $750 per each response.

Then Higgenbotham said the details would have to be spelled out in the contract. Payments will not be made for simple transport calls.

“This is the first we’ve had numbers, monthly or yearly.

No one has been able to answer questions regarding Regional at all,” said Higgenbotham.

A brief discussion was held regarding which buildings Regional wants to lease. They also discussed splitting the heating/ electric bills because the State building, the EMS building, and the fire department building are on the same account.

Council went into executive session to discuss the two proposed contracts with Ong. No action was taken following the session.

On a happier note, documents were signed and ownership of the emergency squad unit 3510 was transferred to Fairfield Township Fire and EMS Department.

Fairfield Township was chosen because they frequently respond to calls or emergency situations in Sherrodsville.

Fairfield Township fiscal officer Jennifer Brown, EMS Coordinator Connie Boyd, and Fire Chief Donald Fry expressed their appreciation for the vehicle because it was the best one, the newest one they’ve ever had.

Brown said that having a squad like this to help the people in our township is ‘just wonderful.’

Sherrodsville council’s next meeting will be Monday, Feb. 17, at 7 p.m. in the State Building.

Wirkner reported that on Saturday, many residents were at the dog pound renewing their dog licenses.

At the Jan. 30 meeting, Commissioner Bob Wirkner said he and EMA Director Tom Cottis met with the Airport Authority Board to discuss updating and establishing a working Airport Zoning Appeals Board. The board was organized in the 1960’s but has not been active in many years.

Wirkner advised that he has created a flow chart that shows how the airport zoning process will work and said he will meet with the prosecutor to see if they are on the right track.

If the plan were approved, Wirkner would then like to talk about placing the EMA (Emergency Management Agency) in charge of the Airport Zoning Appeals Board.

In other business at the Jan. 30

meeting, commissioners: - LEARNED the courthouse clock tower project has a completion deadline date of February 14.

Obituaries Bette Ina Brown

David ‘Dave’ Brammer

Charlotte M. Cole (nee Nichols)

Bette Ina Brown, 83, of Augusta, surrounded by her family, passed away peacefully Saturday, Feb. 1, 2020 at the home of David and Kelli Garrett in Minerva.

She was born in the Molly Stark Sanatorium in Louisville, Stark County, Ohio on April 1, 1936 to Paul Edgar and Pauline Beulah (Kinsey) Brown.

Bette graduated from Washington High School in Massillon in 1953. After high school she attended Hiram College where she earned college credits. Later in life, she went back to college, and in 2003, she earned an Associate’s Degree from Casper College in Casper, WY. While she was attending school at Hiram College, Bette met Terry Tim Solon. They married Aug. 25, 1955 and had four children together. Even though they eventually divorced, they remained lifelong friends. Bette has always had a special place in her heart for Tim, and he for her.

Bette worked as a legal secretary for the Attorney General for the State of Wyoming and then moved back to Ohio to work for her father, who was also an attorney in Massillon. She later moved to Myrtle Beach, SC, where she owned and operated a trailer rental park used by vacationers that was located right on the beach.

She then moved to Queen Valley, AZ, where she owned and operated the Queen Valley Guest House for those who vacationed there in the winter. While there, she also served as treasurer for the Queen Valley Domestic Water Improvement District and was an Election Judge for Pinal County, AZ. She also served as a foreman on the 75th Grand Jury in that same county. She eventually returned to Ohio and settled in Augusta, the place where both of her parents were born and raised.

The Augusta Cemetery became her passion. She was heavily involved in genealogy, and while living in Augusta, she did family history research on the “residents” of the Augusta Cemetery. She put together a website for the Augusta Cemetery and spent thousands of hours diligently researching and recording the history of those who are buried there. In addition, she worked to improve the cemetery. She removed weeds and overgrowth, burned down an old outhouse that was no longer needed, and even worked to dig up tombstones that had sunk into the ground over the years. For a time, she served as Treasurer on the Board of the Augusta Cemetery Association.

Bette is survived by two daughters, Cyndy Solon of Longview, WA and Natalie Anne (Doug) Hansen of Casper, WY; two sons, Lloyd (Judy) Solon of Longview, WA and Nathaniel Solon of Casper, WY; ten grandchildren; 13 great-grandchildren; a sister-inlaw, Faye Janelle (Johnson) Brown of AZ; and two nephews, Paul Travis Brown and Steven David Brown both of Arizona.

Bette was preceded in death by both her parents and her only sibling, Paul Bennett Brown.

Funeral services will be held at Augusta Christian Church, 8150 Andora Rd. NE, Augusta, Ohio, on Saturday, Feb. 8, 2020 at 11 a.m. with Paul Travis Brown of Mesa, AZ, officiating. Burial will follow at Augusta Cemetery.

Visitation will be held Saturday, Feb. 8, 2020 from 10-11 a.m. at Augusta Christian Church. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions can be made to Augusta Cemetery Association, PO Box 5, Augusta, Ohio 44607.

Friends may express their condolences on our website: www.bartleyfuneralhome.com.

She went line dancing at the Carrollton Friendship Center every Wednesday for years. She started collecting dolls as a therapy after she lost her daughter, Colleen in 1980. Raggedy Ann and Andy were her favorites and she often would dress up as Raggedy Ann and visit nursing homes, bringing treats and joy to the patients.

Guest Column Finding Your Ancestors

By NANCY SCHAAR FPS Correspondent, Historian & Professional Genealogist

I recently received questions asking how to find an obituary. The man had looked for an obituary for his grandfather, but didn’t find one.

My first question to him was did he check all the newspapers available. He had not. He had checked one newspaper for the date and didn’t look anywhere else.

Obituaries for family members were usually placed in one newspaper. If the person was prominent in the community, they would have obituaries in any local newspaper that was available.

Obituaries are a wonderful source for information. They usually contain birthdates, place of birth, spouse’s name, children’s names, where they lived, war service, parents’ names, church membership and location of burial.

Most villages of a larger size would have two newspapers. One would be Republican-based and the other Democrat-based. Yes, they were based on political parties.

If you were a Republican, that is where you would have your obituary printed. If you were a Democrat, you would place your obituary in the Democrat version.

Your political-affiliated newspaper would give you a pretty nice obituary. The opposing paper would usually just say you died.

Many times when people are researching, they find an obituary in one paper and the search stops. Always, always, always check all available newspapers for your relative.

The best example I’ve found to demonstrate the differences in obituaries for the same person was found for a client’s great grandfather. We knew he was a doctor in the late 1800’s and we knew the town.

I found the first obituary in one village newspaper in 1905.

It read: Dr. W. M. Williams, the oldest resident of this place, died Monday at his home here. For a number of years he was one of the leading physicians here, and was a very intelligent man to the time of his death. He has been a familiar figure on the streets here until about two weeks ago, when he became confined to his home because of weakness due to old age. His age was about 80 years. He was a profound scholar and had been a great traveler.

At one time, he was editor of a Cadiz newspaper. The funeral will be….

Well that was wonderful! How proud the client would be! But don’t get real proud just yet.

I followed my own rule. I checked the second newspaper in town. An obituary for Dr. Williams was found there too.

It read: A message was received today of the death of Dr. W. H. Williams. He has been a resident there for more than forty years, and a third of a century ago was one of the most active and influential men of that community. He was a man of ability and wide information, but by peculiarities of dress and style of living in recent years, lapsed into obscurity. He abandoned the practice of medicine and lived like a recluse, alone in an old neglected house. He abstained from any change of clothing or use of water in the way of ablutions (washing), and hence presented an unkempt and filthy appearance. The oddest character ever known to this town has passed away.

Which was he? Was he a fine, upstanding, highly respected, well-educated citizen?

Or was he a filthy, stinky, weird old man who never took a bath or changed clothes and lived like a hermit?

Always check all newspapers available.

If you don’t find an obituary, a newspaper can still tell you a lot. They are rare to find today, but in the late 1800’s and through about 1970, newspa-

Lest We Forget

By CAPT. CHARLES PEARSON

U.S. Marine Corps, ret.

Robert H. McCard dropped out of high school early 1939 and a short time later acquired a job tending bar at a local inn in Syracuse, NY. He quit that job in December of 1939 and joined the United States Marine Corps.

After recruit training, he attended sea school and served for one year aboard the heavy cruiser Tuscaloosa. After his promotion to private first class in July 1940, he attained the temporary rank of sergeant and became a recruiter in Centralia, IL. December 1941 brought war for the United States. McCard, with his new wife in tow, left Centralia. He reverted to his pre-recruiting duty rank of private first class and spent time at the Great Lakes Naval Training Station and then Marine Corps Base Quantico, VA. Wartime promotions came quick and McCard made corporal and then sergeant in only a few months in early 1943.

In April he went to Camp Lejeune, NC, and was assigned to 4th Tank Battalion. His unit arrived in the Pacific theater in late June 1944 and McCard saw combat in the Marshall Islands.

After a refitting period in Hawaii, the 4th Tank Battalion mobilized for its next campaign: Saipan.

Some 30,000 Japanese troops held the island, which was headquarters for Japan’s Central Pacific Fleet. On June 15, 1944, the attack began and within the first half hour of the attack, the Navy put 8,000 Marines ashore, including McCard and his tank crew. It was a horrific bloody affair as the Marines pushed ahead.

A day into the advance, McCard’s tank crew continued to meet stiff resistance, finally stalling when Japanese 77mm guns disabled their Sherman

medium tank. Worse still, they were cut off from other tanks in the platoon as the enemy swarmed forward.

McCard and his crew stood their ground as the Japanese came in for the kill of their crippled tank. They retuned fire with their tank’s main gun and machine guns, but as enemy fire increased, McCard ordered his Marines to leave the stricken tank via the escape hatch. As they withdrew, McCard covered for them from the “tracked pillbox” which the Sherman tank had become.

He hurled grenade after grenade at the charging Japanese. Even after being severely wounded he continued his stubborn defense, buying time for his Marines to reach safety.

Finally, his grenades gone, McCard removed one of the tanks machine guns, cradled the weapon in his arms and swept the ground in front of his tank with devastating automatic fire, killing at least 16 Japanese soldiers before collapsing atop of his tank, mortally wounded.

McCard’s body was recovered when Marines advanced past the disabled tank where he made his last stand. He was later buried in the 4th Marine Division’s cemetery on Saipan.

For his actions that day, McCard was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor. He was one of four Marines – two of them tankers – to earn the highest award for valor on Saipan; all of them were enlisted and all posthumous recipients. Officials presented McCard’s medal to his widow on April 10, 1945.

Like McCard, all the men and women of America’s military have answered the call of duty for this great nation. They did so without question and often with tremendous sacrifice to themselves and their families. Please keep them in your prayers.

Minerva Public Library invites children to attend a Stuffed Animal Sleepover on Tuesday, Feb. 11 at 6:30 p.m. in the Youth Department. Children and stuffed animals will enjoy a half hour of stories and songs before the children go home… leaving their stuffed friends behind for an after-hours library sleepover party. Children can pick their toys up the following day and learn just what mischief transpired after the library closed for the night. Suggested for ages 3-7; caretaker attendance is required. It is highly recommended that children not bring their favorite stuffed friend, as it may be too difficult for them to be separated from each other for the night.

On Saturday, Feb. 22, Minerva Public Library will host LEGO Day in the Youth Department. Youth from kin-

dergarten through 12th grade are invited to drop in any time between 2-3:30 p.m. and create using the library’s collection of LEGO sets. Bring a friend or just make new ones! Caretakers are encouraged to attend.

Pastor’s Pen

St. John tells us that Jesus was “full of truth and grace”.

Those of us who claim to be His followers should therefore endeavor to live lives that are like that too. That means we have a solid commitment to truth – to tell the truth, to stand for the truth, to promote the truth, to want to find out the truth more perfectly (for we all have only partial understanding), to be willing to be interrogated about what we believe to be true.

Furthermore, since Jesus said that “the truth will make you free”, we recognize that truth is liberating, freeing people from the bondages that result from ignorance and error, for all ideas have consequences. So Jesus’ followers are not apathetic about wanting to help people come to a personal knowledge of the truth, and a personal knowledge of Jesus Himself, Who is the living truth.

Grace is a word that conveys the idea of beauty, charm, loveliness, favor. The people who most needed someone to help them were attracted to Jesus, not only for what He said, but how He said it. They sensed the love, the compassion, the mercy and kindness He sincerely had for them, and that His words had power to help them.

So if we are His followers, we will confidently stand for truth, no matter how unpopular, but we will be motivated by grace, seeking to help people, seeking to understand their point of view even if we think it is not correct. We will look for the deeper needs of spirit to which we can offer the kindness of Jesus and His power to change hearts, minds and lives. We will be humble knowing that our grasp of truth is far from complete.

This matter of seeking to live lives full of truth and grace has practical relevance to our present culture, both in the political and religious and moral aspects of life, where values clash and controversies are raging. Our motives should always be summarized by Jesus’ Golden Rule: treat others the way you would want to be treated. If we do that, we will live full of truth and grace.

Sherry’s Book Corner Hello everyone! I can’t believe we are living in the first week of February already. Time is swiftly moving along and we need to keep up with it!

So... I have some neat thoughts to share with you this week. Since Valentine’s Day is next Friday, I want you to think about you! Our health is so very important. And, so is our mental attitude.

One day I thought about this, when we don’t feel well it is hard to have a happy outlook on life.

This month I am going to feature two books about health that deal with two of the most common illnesses that we face - diabetes and arthritis.

H o w e v e r, before I continue about the book I have chosen for you this week, I want to share this quote with you that was written by Ralph Waldo Emerson. ‘Love is everything. It is the key of life, and its influences are those that move the world. Move your world my friends, with love.’ This new year of 2020 is just beginning. Think about how much love we can spread around to one another. Randy and I

John Gregg School Principal Tammy Burchfield (left) is shown accepting a check for $1,000 from Heather Jameyson-Henry, general transportation manager of the Wintersville Walmart Distribution Center.

Walmart Distribution Center donates $1,000 to John Gregg Elementary Walmart Distribution Center is supporting students at John Gregg Elementary School between Amsterdam and Bergholz by donating $1,000 through the Miles for Education program.

The company donates a penny for each accident-free mile driven by private fleet truck drivers at every Walmart transportation office. A school in the home region receives between $1,000 and $2,000 based on the safety performance of local drivers and Walmart has contributed more than $100,000 nationwide to schools within their communities.

Heather Jameyson-Henry, general transportation manager at the Wintersville facility, said the program offers the drivers a unique way to give back to the community. She said drivers were extra cautious on the

roadways during July 20-26 and the company made a financial contribution based upon every safe mile they drove during that timeframe.

“This is just one of the many ways Walmart supports education across the country,” Jameyson-Henry said, adding that it was the first time the local distribution center participated in the program. “It’s also a great way to engage all of our drivers in raising money for our local schools.”

John Gregg School Principal Tammy Burchfield appreciated the contribution and said officials were mulling ways to utilize the funds, either for a fun activity or as part of John

Gregg’s Positive Behavior and Intervention Supports initiative.

“It will definitely be used for our students,” Burchfield added. “Anytime we have somebody within the community who understands the value of educating our kids and is willing to be a participant in the lives of students, it’s always a great feeling that we’re all in this together,” she added.

Walmart’s private fleet is one of the largest in the United States and its 74 offices, which include more than 9,000 drivers, support over 4,500 Walmart stores, Sam’s Club locations and Neighborhood Markets across the nation.

CHS snaps losing skid, wins back-to-back EBC games CARROLLTON - It was a muchneeded week of victory for the Carrollton boys basketball team.

The Warriors entered the second part of Eastern Buckeye Conference (EBC) action riding a four-game losing streak.

They snapped the streak with a doubledigit win over their archrival, the Minerva Lions.

“There’s a run in front of us if we get back to playing like we were in the beginning of the year,” Carrollton Coach Mike Aukerman said. “It started tonight against Minerva. It’s a rival game.”

Carrollton led the whole game in the 54-39 win, but didn’t pull away until the third quarter, when they outscored Minerva by 10.

The Warriors led 11-9 by the end of the first quarter and 26-20 at halftime.

Carrollton dominated in the third quarter, outscoring Minerva 16-6, taking a 42-26 lead in the final quarter of regulation.

The only quarter Minerva won was the fourth, scoring 13 points compared to Carrollton’s 12.

Jimmy Birong was a force for the Warriors, leading his team with a newcareer high 21 points.

Carrollton senior Adam Chaney followed with 14 points.

Carrollton’s Brady Benner scored eight points and Talen Timberlake pitched in five points.

“Our biggest key tonight was our unselfishness, the ball didn’t stop,” Coach Aukerman said. “We played as five engaged guys the whole time.”

Minerva’s leading scorer was Brayden Costea who scored a team-high eight points.

Minerva’s Cole Maley scored seven points. Koby Kinsey added six points and Shea Common tacked on five points.

Carrollton shot 75% from the foul line (9-of-12). Minerva made three of their eight attempts.

The Warriors came up with 11 steals throughout the game and Minerva swiped away 10.

Carrollton watched the lead slip away against the Canton South Wildcats Friday on homecoming night but rallied back to secure their sixth EBC win of the season.

The Warriors led 12-11 after one quarter of play. They added to their lead in the second quarter, taking a 2416 lead into halftime.

Canton South edged Carrollton in the third quarter 16-14 and took a lead early in the fourth quarter, but the Warriors battled back for the 51-49 win over the Wildcats.

Chaney finished with a monster performance for Carrollton, scoring 27 points, pulling down four rebounds and coming away with three steals.

Birong and Gage Poole both scored seven points. Timberlake finished the game with six points for the Warriors.

Benner scored four points but he made an impact on the defensive side of the ball, pulling down three defensive rebounds and blocking a pair of shots.

Carrollton is now 9-8 on the season and 6-3 in the EBC - tied for second with Marlington. West Branch leads the conference with one conference loss.

“We have a lot to play for coming up, who knows what’s going to happen in the league race,” Aukerman said. “We just have to continue to attack every game. We want to get on a run.”

Carrollton will be back in action Friday at home against the West Branch Warriors.

CARROLLTON - For just the ninth time in Carrollton wrestling history, the Warriors recorded a shutout victory in a dual match marking the first time they’ve done it in a league match.

“Getting a shutout is obviously our goal each week,” Carrollton Coach Ken Pasiuk said following the Warriors historic victory. “However, it’s hard to do when we have such competitive teams that we wrestle. When it does happen it’s special for our team.

Everyone can walk away feeling they contributed to the team win.”

The Warriors resumed Eastern Buckeye Conference (EBC) action with a home match against the Salem Quakers.

Carrollton recorded five pins in the 72-0 win.

Carrollton’s Brody Wade recorded a 3-0 win at 106 lbs. Brandon Brown won his match at 126 lbs. with a 102 major decision.

Domanick Speelman was awarded a tech fall victory after defeating his opponent at 138 lbs. 16-0.

Carrollton senior Nathan Blake earned a 16-9 decision win in his 145-lb. match.

The Warriors rattled off five straight pins from 152 lbs.-195 lbs., starting with junior Evan Lewis.

Lewis won his match with a pin just

1:03 in; Colby Moore won his match with :16 to spare in the first period at 160 lbs.

CHS senior Alex Carrothers recorded the fast pin of the night at 170 lbs., defeating his opponent in :19; Ben Zinda pulled off a :43 pin at 182 lbs., and Jaden Barkan capped the five-pin streak with a :32 pin.

Nick Jones won his match at 220 lbs. with a 4-3 decision.

Coach Pasiuk says the highlight for him was watching the joy on his wrestlers throughout the dual match.

“The highlight for me was watching our team get pumped for the match and stay pumped the entire time,” he said. “They all went out to their match on a mission.”

Four Carrollton wrestlers won their matches by forfeits against Salem.

As the season winds down, the Warriors have their eyes set on a possible conference title.

“They need to just do what they been doing all season long,” Pasiuk said. “Work hard at practice getting a little bit better each day, be confident in themselves, and keep encouraging one another. They also, need to go out and approach each match like a practice. Wrestle hard and not be afraid to take chances.”

Carrollton wrestles again Thursday, Feb. 6 at home against Marlington.

Minerva Lions defeat Lady Warriors by 18 points CARROLLTON - The Carrollton girls basketball team dropped a pair of games to the Minerva Lady Lions and the state-ranked West Branch Warriors.

The Lions led 15-11 after the first quarter but clamped down in the second quarter, only allowing Carrollton to score seven points to their 13.

Minerva led 28-18 at halftime. The Lions added a point to their lead by the end of the third quarter and doubled up the Warriors in the fourth quarter as they won 52-34.

Carrollton junior Abby Laizure finished as the game’s top scorer, dropping 16 points. Lauren Marmo scored nine points. Malina Moore and Grace Leslie added three points each for the Lady Warriors. Lucy Pridemore scored a pair of points and Emily Wayts tacked on one point for Carrollton.

SNORING is UNHEALTHY. An Obstructed Airway

More than 30 million Americans snore, and many are suffering with undiagnosed Obstructive Sleep Apnea.

This is a serious sleep disorder that occurs when a person’s breathing is interrupted during sleep, and they may not even be aware this is happening.

Specifically, the tongue and soft palate collapse onto the back of the throat, restricting air flow into the lungs, causing the familiar snoring sounds. Sensing a lack of oxygen, the brain sends out an alarm to rouse the sleeper just enough to raise his head and thrust his jaw forward to temporarily open the airway. This can happen 6 to 10 times an hour and can cause a long list of problems associated with chronic lack of sleep.

An Aggravated Sleep Partner

Nearly 50% of middle-aged adults snore, so the likelihood that your neighbor is affected by this problem is high. And snoring doesn’t just affect the snorer. Partners can suffer from lost sleep as well. Tests show that sleep partners average at least one hour of lost sleep a night due to a partner’s snoring.

Have you recognized one or more of the 10 common signs of OSA in yourself or a loved one at the bottom of this page? Obstructive Sleep Apnea affects your health and wellbeing.

An Unused CPAP Machine

With more than 750,000 Continuous-Positive Air Pressure or CPAP Machines prescribed each year, your neighbor probably has one by their bedside right now.

A CPAP is usually the treatment of choice for those with severe sleep apnea. However, many patients have trouble tolerating their CPAP machine, wear their CPAP less than prescribed and are unhappy with their results.

A treatment option is only effective if you use it.

Let our Healthy Sleep Center Continuing Health Care Concierge walk you through the process of obtaining the necessary appointments to secure a diagnosis of OSA to submit your oral appliance as a medical claim.

If you already have a prescription, you would begin your process by discussing insurance and payment plans with your Continuing Health Care Concierge.

It just takes 3-5 minutes for our state-of-the-art iTero Element Intraoral Digital Scanner to create a digital color impression of your teeth. With our digital process there is no impression material placed in your mouth, and your oral model is sent electronically to our labs,

which decreases the amount of time needed to deliver your appliance.

In roughly 10-15 days, your custom oral appliance will be delivered, and you will return to our office for your final seating and adjustments. At that time, you will be taught to use and maintain your appliance with your personal cleaning kit and AM aligner.

You will have follow-up appointments once a week for a month for incremental bite adjustments to your appliance to ensure your best possible sleep.

The effectiveness of your oral appliance can be tested using an app, by your sleep partner’s testimony or by your own feelings of improved rest and wellbeing.

Elementary students at Southern Local hold Kids Heart Challenge Southern Local Elementary School students will get moving this February as the site hosts it annual fundraiser for the American Heart Association.

Physical education teacher Kathy Randolph said the Kids Heart Challenge kicked off Feb. 4 with an assembly. An AHA representative outlined details and got kids revved up for the month-long moneymaker, which also incorporates Valentines’ Day and National Heart Month. The school was just shy of its $4,000 goal last year and has garnered up to $6,000 in the past, but organizers are still finalizing the funding target for 2020.

Students in PreK-6 are collect-

ing donations to earn a series of prizes per funding level between $5 to $1,000. Items include character badges to adorn wristbands, jump ropes, stuffed toys and ear pods. Donation forms are being distributed, but parents can also download the Kids Heart Challenge app or register their child for an online fundraising page at heart. org/KidsHeartChallenge.

Consumers earn honors as 2020 OTCQX Best 50 MINERVA — Consumers Bancorp, Inc. (OTCQX: CBKM) is pleased to announce it has been named to the 2020 OTCQX® Best 50, a ranking of top performing companies traded on the OTCQX Best Market last year.

The OTCQX Best 50 is an annual ranking of the top 50 U.S. and international companies traded on the OTCQX market. The ranking is calculated based on an equal weighting of one-year total return and average daily dollar volume growth in the previous calendar year.

Companies in the 2020 OTCQX Best 50 were ranked based on their performance in 2019.

“Consumers Bancorp is pleased to be included among the impressive list of companies

choice.

The bluebird box will be available to the public on Saturday, Feb. 8, for $15 at the Arts Center, 204 W. Main St., Carrollton.

There will be categories for design and painting with judging on March 7. For more information, call 330-627-3739.

State will send out notices reminding residents to renew their driver’s licenses COLUMBUS - Beginning this month, the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) will begin sending driver license renewal reminder emails to customers.

“We understand that drivers have a lot of obligations and deadlines in their everyday lives,” said Ohio Governor Mike DeWine. “We hope these new email reminders serve as a convenience for those who are

approaching their driver license expiration date and remove the stress of remembering to renew at the last minute.”

The email reminders will include a link to create a personal document checklist to help customers verify they have the right documents needed to obtain a federally compliant driver license which will be needed beginning on Oct. 1, 2020, to board commercial flights, or

enter U.S. federal buildings and military bases.

“The BMV is committed to providing innovative customer service,” said Charles Norman, Ohio BMV Registrar. “This is another example of our dedication to enhancing the overall customer experience by using technology to provide new options to meet their needs.”

A driver license that is current or has been expired less than six

months can be renewed at any deputy registrar license agency.

If a driver fails to renew his or her license six months or more beyond the expiration date, he or she must obtain a temporary permit and successfully complete all required testing before a new license can be issued.

For more information, including how to opt-in for this service, please visit www.bmv. ohio.gov

on the OTCQX Best 50 list.

We take shareholder relations, financial reporting and corporate governance very seriously and are happy to see those efforts, along with the increased visibility provided through participation in the QX market, result in increased interest in CBKM,” said Ralph J. Lober II, the company’s president and chief executive officer.

The OTCQX Best Market offers transparent and efficient trading of established, investor-focused U.S. and global companies. To qualify for the OTCQX market, companies must meet high financial standards, follow best practice corporate governance, and demonstrate compliance with applicable securities laws.

SLES students learn to make good choices Students at Southern Local Elementary School will get lessons in making good choices through the Kelly Bear C.A.R.E.S. program starting this month.

Kelly Bear C.A.R.E.S., or Character and Resilience Education Skills, is an annual program geared towards kindergarteners to help enhance their total development and prevent problem behaviors by promoting 12 key skills: self-awareness and self-respect, emotional understanding of self and others, social competence and constructive peer relationships, self-control, empathy and kindness towards others, problem solving and anger management skills, respect for individual differences, healthy living choices, perseverance and resiliency, refusal skills, personal safety and character traits such as

honesty and responsibility.

SLES Guidance Counselor Larry Rudloff said School Resource Officer Deputy Chase Askounes will visit the classrooms each week from Feb. 19 to April 9 as part of the program. Students will be treated to a video on Mondays and Deputy Askounes will appear each Wednesday to discuss a corresponding theme.

“The overall goal is to prevent behavioral problems with kids by teaching them the essential skills to promote healthy development,” Rudloff added.

He explained the classes will learn such behaviors as politeness, helpfulness and sharing; health topics including exercise, nutrition, cleanliness, proper sleep and positive ways to express feelings; and safety at home and school.
