Ron Smyth (left) was elected vice president and Aaron RIchardson was named president during the Edison Local Board of Education’s re-organizational meeting Jan. 10 at the district office in Hammondsville. Also serving on the board are John Prokopakis, Tracy Wright and Scott Lockhart.

Richardson chosen to lead Edison BOE as it re-organizes The Edison Local Board of Education regrouped for 2019, naming new leaders and approving business to operate in the new year.

The board elected Aaron Richardson president and Ron Smyth as vice president during a brief organizational session Jan. 10 and approved a series of measures to aid district operations.

During the subsequent regular meeting, leaders granted a fiveyear contract to district treasurer Lisa Bruzzese following an executive session. Bruzzese has served the district since 2016 and her contract was due to expire June 30 of this year, but Superintendent Bill Beattie said officials granted the extension which starts this July.

“She’s come into the district and has done a lot of good things and brought a lot of financial stability to it,” Beattie said. “We’re glad to have her here in the district.”

Bruzzese was excited to continue working with the district.

“It’s been a pleasure working here and I look forward to serving our students, staff and the communities of the Edison Local School District. I appreciate the board’s support and confidence in me,” she said.

Meanwhile, the board approved an updated policy that defines harassment, intimidation and bullying in schools.

It was set for a first reading but the board passed an emergency resolution in order to forego the two additional readings. Superintendent Bill Beattie said the measure has been under consideration for several months.

“When we attended the Ohio School Board Association Conference in November, we attended several safety conferences and one had this policy,” he explained. “We saw that it was a lot stronger and was what we needed.”

He said the district’s current policy was vague, but the revamped version pinpoints key areas for more clarity. Beattie added that it would be posted on the district website under the board policy tab and he will seek other avenues to inform parents.

In other action, officials: - Heard from Beattie that heating issues in the newly renovated guidance area were being rectified at Edison High School while gym windows and auditorium flooring work were also

wrapping up and everything could conclude next week.

- Learned from Joe DeBold, district buildings and grounds and transportation supervisor, that timeline for bus inspections has been revamped and he had some concerns about the rotations of vehicles, saying some buses could be running for 18 months without an inspection. DeBold was also looking into the possibility of acquiring some used school buses from between 2016-2018 and was gathering information on available vehicles and possible pricing.

- Heard from Assistant Superintendent Julie Kireta that students and faculty were taking advantage of the E-CAT online program and the L.Y.N.D.A. program through the Public Library of Steubenville and Jefferson County. She and District Administrative Assistant Fatima Smuck added that they were writing grants for programs.

- Learned from Smuck that preschool was getting fuller and officials will have to look at matters for next year.

- Approved personnel matters with Annalee Mehling added as a substitute teacher and supplemental contracts granted to Mario Sinicropi as weight room volunteer, Keely Drabick as a track assistant, Dawn Cable and Amy Bordash for junior high track, Nolan Marcus for freshman baseball, Lynsey Morrison as softball assistant and Mikayla Tice as a softball volunteer.

- Heard from Paul Baker, Close Up advisor at Edison High School, who requested a donation to take three seniors to Washington, D.C., this year.

Officials agreed to contribute $300 per student.

- Proclaimed January as School Board Recognition Month.

- Passed a resolution to accept a memorandum of understanding for College Credit Plus with Kent State University for the 2019-20 school year.

- Accepted a $250 donation by the Chaffin Luhana Foundation for the Paws Pantry.

- Thanked DeNoon Lumber for providing a canopy to shelter faculty and students at John Gregg Elementary. Both Smyth and Beattie thanked the company for donating materials and labor for the project.

- Set a planning committee meeting for Jan. 17 with the next regular scheduled for Feb. 21 at 7 p.m. at that site.

Carroll County Clerk of Courts Report A total of $334,270.28 was collected in the legal and title departments of the Carroll County Clerk of Courts office during January.

This included $22,045.25 received in the legal department, $1,390.80 collected and paid to the state of Ohio and $8,711.75 collected and paid to the Carroll County treasurer, leaving $65,076.20 being held on deposit.

Motor vehicle and watercraft tax collected and paid to state amounted to $299,942.92 while fees and taxes collected and paid in the title department to the Carroll County treasurer totaled $12,282.11, according

to Clerk of Courts William R. Wohlwend.

Filed in the legal department last month were 27 civil cases, 10 criminal cases and 8 Notary Public applications.

CV to partner with Conn-Selmer to purchase band instruments

By JACQUIE HUMPHREY

FPS Correspondent LEESVILLE - At the January meeting of the Conotton Valley Board of Education, a proposal from Conn-Selmer School Partnership Program was approved for the purchase of new band instruments.

Treasurer Denise Ketchum reported that Conotton is looking to partner with Conn-Selmer for the purchase of instruments, hoping that the district will receive a total of 26 instruments, which through the agreement will cost only $72,135.51.

Music Director Jonathon Stuck advised that this “agreement would not only allow Conotton to purchase the greatly needed instruments at an extremely discounted rate, but the Conn-Selmer Corporation will also donate grant money to the school to help cover Professional Development and bring in resources/guest artists to help our students.”

Stuck further reported that Conotton’s music program is growing and is now outnumbering the instruments that are available. Stuck said that there are currently 84 musicians participating in the band program at Conotton Valley and only have 78 instruments in their inventory. Stuck estimated that the age range of these instruments is from 19702017, with the median age being 1985. The average lifespan of an instrument is normally 10-15 years.

Stuck is enthusiastic that the anticipated purchase will help Conotton update the inventory for the next 15 years. He proposes buying: 1 flute, 4 clarinets, 2 alto saxophones, 2 trumpets, 3 F Horns, 2 marching euphoniums, 2 concert eupho-

niums, 2 middle school sized tubas, 2 high school sized tubas, 2 sousaphones, 1 set of chimes, 1 marimba, and 1 vibraphone.

Stuck stated that “the fact that we can still use some of our instruments dating back to 1970 is a testament to the care and maintenance of our students, as well as the past band directors. This purchase allows us to continue to grow in the future and to make sure our students have the best available tools to accelerate their learning” and that “we are so thankful to have such a supportive board of education, community, and administration. Without their support we would not be able to do what we are doing”.

Superintendent Todd Herman said “We are excited about the growth in our Band Program. Mr. Stuck and Mr. Bollon are doing a great job!”

Commissioners still plan to restore the clock tower

By NANCY SCHAAR FPS Correspondent Carroll County Commissioner Jeffrey Ohler provided an update regarding the repairs needed for the courthouse clock tower.

Ohler said he, Assistant Clerk Christopher Modranski, and Building Maintenance Supervisor Ed Eick participated in a conference call Jan. 30 with Perspectus. Perspectus is an architecture firm that will be handling the project.

Work by the firm towards the bidding process for the project will be received in a week.

Ohler advised he hopes the bids will be received at the end of March and anticipates hiring a contractor at the end of April.

Work on the project should begin mid-May with five months allotted for completion of the clock towers repairs.

Commissioner Lewis Mickley reported that he had met with Airport Authority Board Karen Tuttle and Jonathan Walters last week. Tuttle and Walters are trying to find out who is responsible for the tree cutting at the end of the airport runway that was ordered by the Federal Aviation Administration.

Tuttle questioned if it is the responsibility of the Airport Authority to pay for the removal of

the trees or does it fall to commissioners to pay these charges.

The FAA notified the Carroll County Airport Authority in 2013 that an area of trees at the end of the runway must be cut immediately because they were blocking the visual approach to the runway and were hindering clear sight for safe landings.

The Airport Authority has discussed the issue several times since 2013 and has attempted to get the property owners of the trees to remove them. Not all land owners are cooperating with the Airport board.

Mickley had been asked if fines could be issued to the non-compliant residents in order to get these trees removed.

Mickley reported he would present the issue to the county prosecutor for his opinion on who is responsible for the tree cutting expense.

Commissioners were told by Transit Director Sonja Leggett that Transit has been awarded a $434,986 grant for the department. The Federal monies are $338,084 and the state funds are $39,612. This grant is to be used for operating expenses.

Leggett has also received the 2019 Bus Facilities grant of $66,573 in federal money and will be used to purchase two replacement vans.

In other business commissioners: - AUTHORIZED an ease-

ment for utility purposes from commissioners to the village of Carrollton to permit the village to enter county property to lay, install, repair and maintain electric lines, sewer lines and pump stations for the Route 9/171 sewer project.

- WILL accept bids up till 9:30 a.m. on Monday, Feb. 25 for the installation of one sewer system through the 2018 Water Pollution Control Loan Fund.

- OPENED two bids for Phase II of the guardrail replacement project. Bids were tabled until they have been reviewed. A contract will be awarded Monday, Feb. 11, 2019.

- APPROVED a work order for the village of Leesville for wintermix for 2019.

- AGREED to approve the Water Pollution Control Loan Fund Assistance Agreement with the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency for $150,000 for the septic repairs to be completed by Nov. 30, 2020.

- SIGNED a contract with De Nova Construction LLC of Chaska, MN for $3,750. This is a three year contract through Dec. 31, 2020 to prepare the Cost Allocation Plan each year.

- RECEIVED the dog pound report with three impounded, one adopted out, one redeemed, one destroyed, and no citations issued for no license or for running at large.

HEMMING from PG. 1 years teaching fourth grade at Carrollton Elementary.

She met her husband, David C. Hemming, after moving here and the couple were married March 14, 1946. They remained married for 24 years until David’s death in 1970.

Lois and David had two sons, William and James (deceased), and have one grandson, Matthew and three great-grandchildren.

Lois is a long-time member of the Carroll County Genealogical Society, having served as president.

“I had the library in my home for 20 years before it moved to where it is now (on Second Street NE),” she said.

She volunteered at the library

and mailed the newsletters to its membership. She continued to volunteer at the library up until two years ago.

“I retired myself,” she laughed.

“The books got too heavy.”

She has seen many changes in the world and believes the Internet and computers are some of the biggest.

“I certainly didn’t expect anyone to land on the moon in my lifetime, but they did,” Lois said. “All the types of medicine have changed since I was little.”

She noted there were only a few automobiles on the road when she was growing up and that has been a tremendous change. Airplanes were “just coming into being when I was young,” she said of air travel be-

coming commonplace.

When asked what the secret to her long life was, she said, “I have no idea. I’ve done most the things opposite to what they tell you to do.

“Maybe, it’s surviving teaching. Probably because my grandparents lived fairly long lives. I guess that is one of the main things to make people live longer. “I’m sure medicines come into it too.”

When asked if there was any advise she could give to the rest of us, Lois laughed, “My kids never listened to it.”

She finally relented and advised, “Be honest and work hard.”

Happy Birthday, Lois.

Flu activity is increasing Flu activity in Ohio is increasing and widespread throughout the state for the first time during this flu season.

The number of flu-associated hospitalizations are also rising with 338 new hospitalizations during the first week of January compared to 166 during the last week of December. There have been 893 total flu-associated hospitalizations in Ohio so far this flu season, which runs from October 2018 to May 2019. The number of flu cases typically peak between December and February.

flu shot, and the Ohio Department of Health (ODH) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend that everyone six months old and older get one as the best protection against seasonable flu viruses. It takes about two weeks for a flu shot to take full effect.

“Flu vaccination is the safest and most effective way to prevent the flu which can lead to missed work and school, and cause other serious health complications,” said ODH Medical Director Dr. Clint Koenig. “Pregnant women, young children and people who already have serious medical conditions are especially at risk for serious complications from the flu.”

Flu symptoms can include fever, cough, sore throat, body aches, headache, chills and fatigue. Although most people fully recover from the flu, some experience severe illness like pneumonia and respiratory failure, and the flu can sometimes be fatal. People who think that they may have

the flu and are pregnant, have an underlying medical condition, or who are extremely ill should contact their healthcare provider immediately.

Flu vaccines are offered by many doctor’s offices, clinics, local health departments, pharmacies and college health centers, as well as by many employers and some schools.

While vaccination provides the greatest protection against the flu, other effective ways to avoid getting or spreading it include: washing your hands frequently or using alcohol-based hand sanitizer; covering coughs and sneezes with tissues, or coughing or sneezing into your elbow; avoiding touching your eyes, nose and mouth; and staying home when sick and until fever-free for 24 hours without using fever-reducing medication.

Flu-associated hospitalizations in Ohio are tracking below the five-year average so far during this flu season. More information about flu and flu activity in Ohio is available at www.flu.ohio.gov.

Lest We Forget

By CAPT. CHARLES PEARSON

U.S. Marine Corps, ret.

After World War I, Earle E. Radikin, an ambulance driver for the 102nd Ambulance Company, 26th Division, told the following story of what happened to him while in a combat zone.

He had two severely wounded soldiers of the 102nd infantry in the back of his ambulance that he had picked up at an aid station and was transporting them to a field hospital. The enemy kept a close eye on the road that he had to travel, so he was to travel it at night. Since it was night time, he had to travel by moonlight or by using his small slit blackout lights. For about a third of a mile enemy shells were flying all around his ambulance digging up the road.

He locked his jaw and gripped the steering wheel as he opened the throttle and zigzagged through the shell holes.

He thought, just another hundred yards and he would be out of their range. Just then there was a huge explosion and the ambulance lurched to a halt.

Radikin leaped out to investigate. The shell had detonated almost against the rear of the ambulance, killing the two wounded soldiers inside.

Radikin climbed back into his seat and was pleased to find that it started. He again sped down the road until he knew he was out of danger. Knowing that he was out of gun range, he slowed down. Speed wouldn’t help those torn bodies in the battered ambulance.

Soon, from inside the ambulance drifted the wheezy notes of a harmonica wailing the song, “Where Do We Go From Here.”

The hair began to creep on the back of Radikin’s neck. He flattened the gas pedal and the ambulance leaped forward. For a moment the music stopped, then it started again.

Radikin crunched the ambulance to a halt and stumbled out. The dead men’s music picked up a steadier beat. Cautiously, he approached the rear of the ambulance. There on the tailboard, quite oblivious to his surroundings, squatted a grimy soldier. At the sight of Radikin’s white face, he took his harmonica from his mouth, slowly whipped it across his blouse and grinned.

Radikin gulped and asked, “Wh-where’d you come from?”

He answered, “I joined up with you when you slowed down back there; I thought I’d catch a lift to Divisional Headquarter.” He then returned to his music.

“Well,” Radikin said, “If you’ve got to play that damn thing – you play it up here in the front seat with me where I won’t get any funny notions.”

Every man or woman who has been in combat has stories to tell – some comical, most are tragic. Ask them to tell their story. It’s good therapy for them and they should not be forgotten.

Please keep those who are living those stories in your prayers.

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

Pastor’s Pen

“No One Dies From the Roaring of the Lion”

I Peter 5:8-9 King James Version (KJV). Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.

We, as Christians, are to resist the devil with steadfastness. It’s good to remember that Satan does not chase after those he already has. We need to be alert spiritually.

James 4:7 says to Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

It’s been said a lion’s roar can be heard up to 5 miles away. When we resist Satan’s advances, we hear him roar as he flees from God’s children.

I John 4:4 - Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world.

No one dies from the roaring of the lion. The mouth of the lion cannot stop us from living in victory.

John 10:10 - The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

The devil desires to steal, kill and destroy. Jesus has come to bring victory over Satan. When we live for Jesus, we will have abundant life.

Colossians 1:13,14 - Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of His dear Son: In whom we have redemption through His blood, even the forgiveness of sins.

We have been delivered from darkness and brought in to God’s kingdom through His Son Jesus, who has redeemed us through His blood. The killing spree is over - the devil is roaring but not biting.

II Timothy 4:17,18 - Notwithstanding the Lord stood with me, and strengthened me; that by me the preaching might be fully known, and that all the Gentiles might hear: and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion. And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

Paul said “The Lord stood with me. The Lord gave me the strength to preach the gospel. I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.”

Daniel 6:22 - My God hath sent His angel, and hath shut the lions’ mouths, that they have not hurt me....

God shut the mouths of the lions. God will deliver His children.

The devil roars but he cannot bite. God Himself will shut the devil’s mouth!

I John 4:18 - There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.

It’s time to stand up against the enemy of our souls. We need to stop living in fear and reach to Jesus, who loves us.

Jude 24 - Now unto Him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy.

The Lord is able to keep you from falling and gives us victory! Satan’s intimidation is over. No one dies from the roaring of the lion.

We would love to have you out for our services on Sunday mornings at 10 a.m. or Thursday evening at 7 p.m. We are located at 1196 Brenner Rd. NE, Carrollton.

Pastor Bill Grimes Heaven’s Edge Apostolic Church

Letter to the Editor I really and truly do not understand the selective thought process of those who opt to bring a pet into their family and then in 2-degree weather make the decision to place it in a fenced-in area or chain it to a tree or let it run loose or chain it to a dog house.

But as painful as that can be, I just cannot accept some county humane societies positioning themselves in the justifications as to why it’s ok for pet owners to do that. After all, they say, it’s a dog. As long as they have water and shelter by golly, by gum all is well in doggie land. After all, Terry, as long as they have leaves or straw to lay on and a make-shift roof of leaves and an opening to go in and out, yeah, for that dog.

I absorbed their explanation and I wondered where the handbook was that guides these folks down their professional journey.

Not that I want to take the dog house or the leaves away from the dog.

Something is better than nothing. However, I sort of, somehow, maybe sometime, would like to see the handbook that guides the folks to protect those animals that they represent.

I mean, in my world, leaves piled up in the corner of the fenced-in area for shelter is just so sad. I would feel much better if the fencedin area had a really nice roof over it so the snow and rain would not fall on the newly installed furnace.

Sherry’s Book Corner Hello everyone! Are you staying warm enough?

I hope so! Just remember, when you go outdoors, layer, layer, layer. I learned that a long time ago and it works. And, the less flesh exposed the better.

For those of you who love the outdoors like I do, you know what it takes to enjoy the gifts of nature whatever it may bring. As I see it, there is no reason to stay in the house if you don’t want to!

Last July, our son Zach flew to San Juan on business. He purchased this book to read on the plane. He passed it on to me to read. I have read many books in my lifetime, but these characters will live in my heart forever. I was deeply moved in mind and spirit for each one.

This is a love story, of life and freedom, whatever the cost. The Bible teaches us, Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. (St. John 15:13.) Anne Frank wrote, “How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world.” Until next time, a warm Valentine wish to you from me.

Title: All The Light We Cannot See

Marie-Laurie LeBlance is 12 when the Nazis occupy Paris. At the age of six. she is blind. She lost her eyesight due to congenital cataracts. Bilateral.

Irreparable. Marie-Laurie lives with a father who adores her. And she him. He is the principal locksmith for the Natural Museum of Natural History. He and his work are her world.

Werner Pfenning will be 14 in May. The year is 1940 and no one is laughing at the Hitler youth now. He has one more year. Then they’ll give him a helmet and lamp and stuff him in a cage with the other boys. He grew up with his sister in a two-story orphanage outside of Essen, Germany.

These two lives meet at the end of the war. What happens to them and the world in which they live will enlighten you, inspire you, and give you a whole new meaning about love and the human spirit.

“The craftsmanship of Doerr’s book is rooted in his ability to inhabit the lives of Marie-Laurie and Werner.”

Noah Gray graduated from Malvern High School in May of 2015.

In 2016, Damascus Friends Church (previously Malvern Schools) entered into a cleaning contract with the Carroll County Board of Developmental Disabilities Employment Department. Since Noah was very familiar with the site, it was the perfect place for him to begin job training. Noah did a great job while cleaning the church.

After the initial job was complete, he was offered a permanent cleaning position two days a week. Noah accepted and has been working there for two years. Mayle Homes staff provide transportation and job coaching services for Noah.

He takes great pride in the work he does and has become part of the Damascus Friends Church family and also participates in church activities when he is not working. Noah is always willing to help wherever he is needed.

Great job Noah!

The Warriors were unbeatable after Moore’s loss, not losing a single match between the weight classes of 160-285 lbs.

Carrollton senior Ben Pasiuk won by a major decision over Brailyn Lightner, 110, and Brandon Daniels put on a dominating performance against Logan Bell, winning by a technical fall of 24-6.

Alex Carrothers put on a display of technique at 182 lbs., winning his

match over Warren Gentile 6-0.

Carrollton’s heavyweight wrestler, JT Richardson, ended the night with a win by forfeit.

“We are very proud of he way our wrestlers have been wrestling,” said Carrollton Coach Ken Pasiuk following the Alliance match. “They are motivated to improve with each practice and match. The loss to West Branch was hard but we know the focus from the beginning has been post season” DIVISION I REGION 2 DUALS For the second year in a row, the Carrollton Warriors moved up from Division II to Division I for the Ohio High School Athletic Association (OHSAA) state duals.

Carrollton took on Med Highland in the quarterfinals and defeated them 4023.

The Warriors routed Ashland 39-28 in the semifinals to advance to the finals against Wadsworth.

The top-seeded Grizzlies were too tough for Carrollton, as they handed the Warriors a 48-21 loss in the finals.

“We knew the competition was going to be stiff and we had to wrestle tough as a team if we wanted to be successful,” Coach Ken Pasiuk said. “Our team really did step up to the challenge and beat two very solid teams. In the finals we wrestled very competitive against Wadsworth, however they were just better on that day.

D1 Regional dual meet runners up is a sold run.”

The Warriors will be back in action at Canton South to take on the Wildcats in EBC action.

Alliance led early in the contest, 6-4, in the first quarter as the Lady Warriors were only able to convert four free throws

in the quarter.

The Lady Warriors dropped 16 points on the visitors from six different players in the third quarter. Alliance only scored two baskets in both the third and fourth quarters. Carrollton took a 13-point lead into the final frame and then padded that with nine more points, making the final score 40-22.

Laizure made four three pointers in the game, finishing with a game-high 12 points.

Malina Moore contributed eight

points and pulled down seven boards. The Lady Warriors were disciplined as a team from the foul line, making 11 of 15 free throws. Alliance went one-forseven from the charity line.

The Lady Warriors lost a couple of road games earlier in the week as they fell to the Marlington Dukes on Monday 70-24 and the West Branch Warriors on Friday night by a final score of 52-24.

Southern Local elementary 4th graders Andrew Winter and Makyla Davison get ready for the annual American Heart Association fundraiser set for February. A Kids Heart Challenge kickoff assembly will be held Feb. 8 and a $4,000 goal has been set for the moneymaker. The event will close March 1 with a Jump-A-Thon activity during students’ special time in the gym.

Southern students are jumping for Kids Heart Challenge SALINEVILLEStudents at Southern Local elementary school are jumping and moving to raise money for the American Heart Association during the Kids Heart Challenge this February.

A kickoff assembly is set for Feb. 8 at 2:30 p.m. with Adam Parker, youth marketing director for the AHA, and students in PreK-6 who will be collecting donations for the cause.

Physical education teacher Kathy Randolph said the fundraiser will be held throughout the month, which fittingly ties in with Valentine’s Day and National Heart Month, and a daylong Jump-A-Thon activity set for March 1 to get kids moving.

“Our goal this year is $4,000,” Randolph said, adding that as much as $6,000 has been raised in the past. “[The JumpA-Thon] is held during special time and there will be jump

ropes, hula hoops, an obstacle course, dancing and limbo. We want to have them moving and tell them what to do to keep their hearts in shape.”

Kids could earn a series of prizes based upon the levels of funding they have contributed and items range from jump ropes and basketballs to T-shirts and wireless headphones. Online donations are also accepted with wristbands and plush toys also being given away as rewards.

Randolph and SLES Principal Kristy Sampson are planning another incentive to reach the goal, previously dressing in costumes to entertain the students.

This year’s theme is Heart Heroes and a dress up activity is set for the week of Feb. 25-March 1 leading up to the Jump-AThon. Monday will be Red Out Day for the AHA; Tuesday is “Sock It to Heart Disease,” a crazy sock day; Wednesday is

“Be a Heart Hero to Help Stop Heart Disease,” where kids can don shirts depicting their favorite superhero; Thursday is “Put a Lid on Heart Disease,” or hat day; and students will wear workout clothes that Friday to take part in the Jump-A-Thon.

Sampson said the school has received plenty of support from the community and was pleased to help the organization.

“Our community always does a good job supporting us with this event, so we don’t want to make it a hardship for them and the kids to participate. The AHA has always been a good partner,” she added.

The AHA encourages youth to be physically active for at least 60 minutes per day, do a good deed daily and choose water over sugary drinks to stay healthy. For more information or to register online, go to www.heart.org/kidsheartchallenge.

Malvern High School Honor and Merit Rolls Students listed on the Honor Roll and Merit Roll for the second nine weeks grading period of the 2018-19 school year at Malvern High School/Middle School have been reported by school officials as follows: Honor Roll 4.0 Grade Point Average or Higher 6th grade: Kenna Ball, Lau-

Members of the Southern Local High School Leadership Committee traveled to Beaver Local High School on Jan. 10 to learn about the facilities and activities and gather ideas for SLHS. Southern and Beaver Local students were paired together to attend several classes and have lunch during the visit. Participating are students from both schools including, (front, from left) Emma Palmer, Katelyn Bailey, Ivy Winters, Jenna Riccardo, Addison Guildoo and Alexis Rhodes; (middle) Mary Quinn Cook, Trisha Brown, Bryan Anderson, Madison Ours, Aubrianna Mellott, Riley Felton, Sydnie Holden, Garrett Givens and Victor Duncan; and (back) Nate Barber, Jayce Sloan, Cameren Grodhaus and Jaden Kiddey.

Southern students exchange ideas with Beaver students Southern Local High School students took a trip to Beaver Local High School on Jan. 10 to exchange ideas and find ways to improve their campus.

Ten members of the school leadership committee headed to the site and met with other students to discuss such topics as school spirit and student involvement. Among the committee members were Aubrianna Mellott, Alexis Rhodes, Riley Felton, Victor Duncan, Bryan Anderson, Jayce Sloan, Cameren Grodhaus, Katelyn Bailey, Trisha Brown and Ivy Winters, who were paired up with 10 BLHS students and attended two classes before joining their peers for lunch. Mellott and Rhodes, who are both

seniors, said they learned alot from their visit and are pondering ideas for implementation at Southern.

“We went to learn how the school operated and about school spirit and student involvement,” said Mellott. “The principal talked to us about getting students to go to games and they have a Varsity Club.”

“They need their varsity letter or pay $1 to get to go to a game, so the club is not just for athletes,” Rhodes added.

Rhodes said they also looked at the facility and learned about technological tools that aid education.

“We looked at the technology and the teachers have MacBooks that sync to their TV’s,”

she commented. “The technology seemed like a big convenience.”

Other outstanding factors included the colorful schematics of the building and its versatility.

Mellott noted that classrooms were separated with a mobile divider which could open up the space into a common area. She and Rhodes agreed that the trip was very helpful in formulating plans for Southern.

“I think it helps a lot to go to other schools because it gives ideas to better this school,” Rhodes said.

Previous committee members have traveled to Western Reserve and Columbiana High Schools last year and another excursion could be set for May.

Aiming High program returns to SLES Positive actions are the crux of the latest installment of the Aiming High program when it returns to Southern Local Elementary School this week.

Lynsi Beagle, program coordinator for the Family Recover Center in Lisbon, will be on hand each Wednesday to speak to second-grade classes about

making good decisions and related topics. Larry Rudloff, school guidance counselor, said Beagle will begin Feb. 6 and focus on second-graders.

“There will be four 35-minute individual sessions in the three classrooms,” he said. “The program focuses on life skills such as making good decisions, building character, knowing how to be a good person or citizen and the importance of building a solid reputation.”

Barkan, Kienzle named CHS Students of the Month Kenny Barkan and Olivia Kienzle have been selected as Students of the Month for January at Carrollton High School where both are seniors.

Son of Kenny and Jessica Barkan of Dellroy, Kenny is involved in the National Honor Society and Prayer Warriors at CHS. He also serves his church Grace Chapel and lifts weights at All-1.

He has three brothers, Jaden, 15, a sophomore; Micah, 13, an 8th grader, and Kale, 11, a 5th grader.

Barkan says his favorite hobbies are spending time in God’s word and praying, lifting, reading books and learning German. He is undecided about his future plans.

When asked what teacher, coach, family member or special friend has influenced him and why, Kenny said: The most influential person in my life is my dad. My dad has always been there for me. He has helped me through thick and thin, always teaching me how to become a better man myself. By instilling Bible values in me from a young age, I will forever be thankful for showing me to see Jesus and the true meaning of life.

In offering advice for success in life, Barken replied: Ephesians 4:32 says, “Be kind to one another, tender hearted, forgiving one another as God in Christ forgave you.” As Christ has forgiven us, we should forgive those around us, even if they have hurt us or wronged us and it’s their fault. When we forgive them, it allows healing and fixes the separation that is between us and allows you to

FFA Camp Muskingum to host Great Backyard Bird Count Launched in 1998 by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and National Audubon Society, the Great Backyard Bird Count was the first online citizen-science project to collect data on wild birds and to display results in near real-time.

Now, more than 160,000 people of all ages and walks of life worldwide join the count each February to create an annual snapshot of the distribution and abundance of birds.

Camp Muskingum invites you to participate. On President’s Day, Monday, Feb. 18, rain or shine, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., simply come to Ohio FFA Camp Muskingum, 3266 Dyewood Rd. SW, Carrollton, to tally the number and kinds of birds you see.

You can count, as long as, or a short a timeframe as you want.

The camp offers varied habitats, such as lake front, forest, and open fields. Bird watchers can choose from many outdoor and select indoor locations on the 200-acre camp. People of all ages and abilities are welcome.

The camp does ask those under

Carrollton Alumni Foundation appoints new trustees, officers

OOGEEP accepting scholarship applications The Ohio Oil and Gas Energy Education Program and the Ohio Oil and Gas Energy Education Foundation are accepting first-time and renewal applications for their 2019 Oil and Gas Energy Education Scholarships now through March 1.

In 2018, OOGEEP awarded 21 renewal and 41 new scholarships to students attending accredited colleges, universities, and technical or trade schools of their choice. These renewable $1,000 scholarships are designated for students

pursuing careers in the natural gas and crude oil industry.

To be considered for a scholarship, students are required to submit an essay describing their personal and career goals in these industries along with letters of recommendation and meet other academic requirements. Detailed information about the scholarship can found on the OOGEEP website at https://www.oogeep.org/ teacher-students/scholarships/.

To learn more about careers in Ohio’s oil and gas industry,

Four new trustees were appointed and officers for 2019 were elected at the annual meeting Jan. 26 of the Carrollton Schools Alumni Foundation held at the Ponderosa Steakhouse in Carrollton.

Beginning new three-year terms on the Board are Leonard Hutson, class of 1957; Nicole (Fierbaugh) Taggart, class of 1995, and Ellyn (Atchison) Dunlap, class of 1967. John Clark, class of 1960, was appointed to fill a seat vacated by Stacy Fawcett for a one-year term.

Re-elected as trustees to complete an additional three years of eligibility on the board were Mandie (Babe) McCort and Pam (Henry) Cogan.

Outgoing trustees who served six years on the board are Joy Warner and Dave Kean, who were recognized for their service.

During a meeting of the Trustees, Mandie (Babe) McCort was re-elected president; Atty.

Steven Barnett, vice president; John Davis, treasurer; Rhonda (Cummings) Cogan, secretary; Wendy (Shawver) Davis and Lori (Davis) Bryan, recording

secretaries, and Don Rutledge, Foundation historian.

This year’s four Hall of Fame inductees include: Dr. Jack Lewis Maffett, class of 1950; Dean Rinehart, class of 1956; William (Bill) Wohlwend, class of 1968, and Don Rutledge, class of 1960.
