Carroll County is fourth in state to achieve Next Gen status By NANCY SCHAAR FPS Correspondent Carroll County has worked for more than four years to make the Next Gen connection happen. The cost was more than $500,000, but all agree the thousands of hours involved is well worth it. The state had many requirements in order for the county to reach Next Gen status, but Commissioner Robert Wirkner said it is worth every penny if it saves lives. The county’s PSAP (Public Safety Answering Point) had to become compliant for Next Gen or face losing the county’s emergency operators. The state could have closed down the county dispatch center and calls would have been answered from a neighboring county such as Columbiana. Under the old 911 system, dispatchers would answer the calls but would have to use separate radio systems to call the
emergency services that were needed, whether they were fire departments, ambulances, sheriff or police officers. Wirkner said this is cutting edge technology and could have been done in various stages as other counties have chosen. But Wirkner said they were going to do it once, and do it right. Captain Cheryl Keyser, 911 and communications administrator for the sheriff’s dispatch center said that final step was very exciting. “It will offer so much better service for county residents than what we had,” said Keyser. “When a call comes in to the dispatch center, it only takes a millisecond for it to go to the 911 call center in Columbus and back to our PSAP. The system is compatible with cell phones as well as landlines and determines the exact location of the caller in the county,” said Keyser. The new computer system has the information at the dispatcher’s fingertips literally before you can blink, according to Sheriff Dale Williams. The former 911 system could only
handle calls from landlines. This new system is geared for cell phones as well as landlines. It can also answer TDD calls for the hearing impaired. The dispatcher can communicate immediately with the call through the messaging system. Williams said one thing they need people to do is to stay on the line. Do not hang up. Williams continued to say that many people will call for help, tell what the problem is, give the address, but then hang up. Dispatchers are now specially trained emergency medical dispatchers. They will keep the caller on the line and give specific instructions to the person on the phone telling them step by step what to do to take care of the sick or injured until help arrives. Those emergency services have already been called out and are on their way. Wirkner said that when the new system was introduced by the state, the

Residents protest lenient charges in public indecency case By NANCY SCHAAR FPS Correspondent
A long line of protestors met outside the county prosecutor’s office Friday. Members of the community have been upset since Prosecutor Steven Barnett charged a man with second degree misdemeanors after he allegedly confessed to frequently exposing himself to young children on a school bus. Harrison Township resident, Gary Dean Lee, Jr. is being held in the Carroll County jail on a $100,000 cash or surety bond on misdemeanor charges of public indecency. Carroll County Sheriff Dale Williams said that information was provided to school resource officers and Carrollton school officials regarding a complaint of Lee exposing himself to small children when they got off the school bus at their homes on Jasmine Road. Williams directed a plain clothed deputy to ride the school bus Friday, March 8. The school bus was also followed by two additional deputies in an unmarked vehicle. Lee was observed by deputies pulling down his pajama pants and al-

About 40 people gathered on the square in downtown Carrollton Friday to protest the charges filed by the county prosecutor against a man who allegedly admitted to sheriff deputies that he had repeatedly exposed himself to a little girl. Some of the signs read, ‘Give a Hoot – Prosecute’ and ‘Sheriff & Police Do Their Job, Y Not U’.

Prosecutor responds to criticism Carroll County Prosecuting Attorney Steven D. Barnett issued the following statement March 15: “Much has been discussed on social media regarding the case against Gary D. Lee, Jr. First and foremost, we sympathize with the victim and her family. Our victim-witness assistance office has been engaged to offer whatever assistance that is available. As a prosecutor, I am limited in the remarks I can make in response due to ethical rules as well as the presumption of innocence. Suffice it to say, prosecutors are duty-bound to enforce the laws as they are written and this controversy sheds light on the inadequacy of the public indecency law, which should have more teeth for circumstances such as these. We hope that legislators take note. Prosecutors ethically and professionally cannot prosecute cases beyond the scope of the law or expand the evidence to support something that is not attainable under the law. We will review any evidence in an investigation to determine whether or not that evidence supports the filing and the pursuing charges consistent with meeting our burden of proof under the law “

Leesville council discuss paving By JACQUIE HUMPHREY
FPS Correspondent At the March meeting of the Leesville Village Council, resident Jim DeWalt was present to inquire of Council what street paving projects are in the works for this coming summer. DeWalt noted that there are multiple streets, Water, Market, Pigeon and Liberty, that could use attention, as well as the turn at East Market and area where South Pearson Alley is being cut through. DeWalt also advised that the water runoff situation at Wayne and Borden Alley is problematic, where a Village culvert is running into a Township ditch. Council discussed and agreed to have a contractor look at the situation. Fiscal Officer Sally Bernhart inquired of Council as to their intentions for a town-wide clean-up day. After a brief discussion, Council agreed to decline the event this year. Mayor John Traxler reported
to Council that he has spoken with Susan King regarding the Village’s RUMA agreement, and was advised that they do not want to close the RUMA as they have not completed work in the area. In other action Council: - Noted that the roof is leaking in the garage. - Agreed to research resolutions to restrict driving on edges of Village Circle since guardrail has been removed. - Noted that several sign posts are needed at various areas in the Village. - Discussed legal action options with Solicitor Jenna Hokes, regarding two abandoned structures in the Village.

Dellroy council considers quotes for building repairs By JACQUIE HUMPHREY
FPS Correspondent At the March meeting of the Dellroy Village Council, two estimates were reviewed for needed building repairs. Chris Kurtz submitted an estimate in the amount of $5,979.02 and Premium Commercial Roofing, LLC in the amount of $12,500.00. Council discussed the estimates and Council President Joe Mabie inquired if both contractors were quoting identical work. Mayor Doug Ruby confirmed that he had accompanied both contractors to the worksites and requested the same quotes from each. Mabie also inquired of Solicitor Jenna Hokes if there is a standard deviation for work estimates. Hokes confirmed that the standard in Ohio is 10 percent. Treasurer Candice Ruby inquired of Hokes if Council should approve the exact amount of the estimate, or an additional amount, to prepare for extra work that may be discovered when the work is started. Hokes advised that adding some funds for contingency is acceptable and suggested approximately $500 overage before additional action would have to be taken by Council. Council discussed the quotes and approved an expenditure of up to $6,500.00 to Chris Kurtz, payable upon completion of approved work. Council also reviewed estimates for electrical updates in the Village. One estimate was received from Dan Electric of Mechanicstown in the amount of $1,508.94 and one Richardson’s Electric, LLC of Carrollton in the amount of $1,600.00. Council discussed both estimates and agreed to wait until the April meeting to take action, as no one present was familiar with the work of either contractor. Both will be reviewed prior to the April meeting of Council. Pastor Damon Spurgeon was present at the meeting to discuss with Council several upcoming changes that he anticipates in the near future for a community organization. Spurgeon said that he will keep Council in the
information loop as things develop. Treasurer Ruby advised that she needs to have a date set for the annual Community cleanup day so that a dumpster can be reserved. Resident Anita Rutledge was present at the meeting and advised that a Closing Day Celebration for the Village’s Elementary school is set for Saturday May 4, and that she didn’t believe that would coincide well with a clean-up day. Council agreed and discussed optional dates for this event, settling on Saturday, May 18. This event will be held from 8 a.m. until noon. Ruby will reserve a dumpster for the event. In other action, Council: - Approved 15 checks and 4 electronic payments in the amount of $3,660.91. - Heard Fund balances reported as follows: $51,003.91 in the General Fund, $7,867.20 in the Street Fund and $2,110.27 in the State Highway Fund. - Heard receipts of the Community Building reported at $525.00 with expenses of $524.24. - Heard the third reading of Ordinance 01-2019, approving permanent appropriations for 2019, and passed unanimously. - Heard Treasurer Ruby report that reservations for the Community Building have been coming in steadily. - Was advised that there is no existing Ordinance in the Village governing the construction of fences. - Heard a report from Council President Joe Mabie on the recent meeting he had attended for Atwood Regional Water and Sewer District. - Learned that this month’s movie night will be held March 22 beginning at 6:30 p.m., and will feature Ralph Breaks the Internet. - Was advised that a Community Easter Egg Hunt will be held at Monroe Township Park Saturday, April 13, beginning at 2 p.m. The Easter Bunny will be in attendance, refreshments will be served and there will be prizes for everyone.

Free Press Standard | AREA NEXT GEN from PG. 1 state planned to reduce the number of PSAP’s in the state from 350 to 88. He said the county had to take all the steps to become Next Gen compliant or risk losing our dispatch center. Wirkner explained that the calls would be routed to a neighboring county but said he felt a dispatcher from another county would not know our communities or the roads or directions to give for emergency personnel. “We really needed to keep these responses to come from county people. No one knows our county like our own people,” said Wirkner. One of the first things Wirkner did, representing the Board of Commissioners, was to assess what equipment the former 911 system had. Wirkner quickly found out that most of the equipment was outdated and parts or support for the old system were not available anymore. One of the first and biggest issues facing the change in sys-
tems was to update the county mapping system. Keyser said it took a lot of time and deputy Lisa Ellington was diligent in finding all the errors that were in the system. That included roads that didn’t match up to actual maps, housing numbers, and so much more. To be Next Gen compliant the mapping system in the county had to be 99% accurate. Many, many hours were spent driving around the county confirming addresses, correcting addresses, and adding new addresses from housing developments that have been built in recent years. Keyser said the actual switch to the new system was last week. Keyser said the system was put to the test following a fiery tanker crash on State Route 332 last week. She said there were many, many calls to 911 regarding the crash, the fire, and response that was needed. In the old system, Keyser said the system would have been overwhelmed. But the Next Gen did its job and so
did dispatchers. The new display system also shows exactly where all deputies are at all times on the roadway. So it is simple to determine who to send to respond to a call for help. The PSAP is staffed by 11 full time dispatchers working three shifts. Two 911 dispatchers are on duty at all times. Wirkner showed his pride when he said that in the 1980’s there was one defibrillator in the county. It was kept at the sheriff’s office. When emergency personnel needed it for a response call they had to stop at the sheriff’s office to pick it up before they could answer the emergency call. When Wirkner was the EMA Director, he wrote grants and received funds to purchase defibrillators to be placed in the county. “What is the mission of law enforcement except to protect, save lives, and protect property? This project had many commit-
tees, many commitments, many people and much hard work. I am very proud to have been a part of it,” stated Wirkner. There is a 90-day trial period that the county must go through before receiving state certification. They can use that time to work out any minor glitches that may pop up. But Keyser, Williams and Wirkner aren’t expecting too many of those. Wirkner credited everyone involved in this project such as the Emergency Medical Agency, the fire departments, deputies, dispatchers, the sheriff and more. Wirkner said this was not a handful of people because there was a lot of work going on in the background. It was done according to the state requirements, it’s been tested and tested and is working great. “This is a great thing for the county. It will help us save lives, send help more quickly and will keep up with technology in the future as well,” said Williams.
CASE from PG. 1 legedly exposing himself to a young girl after she got off the school bus at her home. He was immediately arrested by officers and taken to jail. He later confessed to deputies about his actions in front of small children and allegedly admitted he had done it on previous occasions. According to sheriff’s records, Lee was originally charged with three counts of first-degree misdemeanors regarding his conduct which could have resulted in a six-month jail sentence for each charge. Barnett changed the misdemeanors to second degree. The three counts could include up to 90 days in jail and a maximum of $750 in fines. Lee entered not guilty pleas to the charges at the hearing March 8. Carroll County Municipal Court Judge Gary Willen ordered that Lee, if released, is to have no contact with any child under the age of 18 and will be placed with a GPS monitor at his cost. He must also remain at least 1,000 yards away from any child under the age of 18. Several children on the school bus have admitted they have seen the man allegedly expose himself before but they have not
come forward to press charges yet, according to Williams. Shannon Noble said they were protesting because they feel elected officials need to be held accountable. “We feel in many cases more can be done by the prosecutor to cooperate and facilitate our great law enforcement and local court’s valiant hard work. Public safety, security, and victims, especially when children are involved must be at the forefront when hard choices are required,” said Noble. The child’s grandmother was one of the protestors and was appalled that this man would get a lighter sentence than the man convicted of beating a dog two weeks ago in the county courts. “I’m sorry that happened to the dog. But this is a child. This involves children. How can the prosecutor do so little?” questioned Tammy Wilson. “It is horrendous that this is just a misdemeanor. Think of what this little girl will have to go through in the coming months and years. The sheriff did his job. The deputies did their jobs. Why is the prosecutor not doing his?” questioned Noble.
Shannon Noble joined the protest with his sign - Police Do Their Job - Do Yours!
Several protestors voiced the same concerns, if not the county prosecutor, who is going to keep our children safe. “It’s really sad to hear about the abuse of a dog. It is completely horrible. But this is our children!” said Kim Keister of Minerva. Shelby Green of Dennison was there to protest too. She brought her five-week-old daughter with her. Bundled snug against the cold, Jansen slept through the protest. But her mother was there to help guarantee the safe-
ty of all children, including her own. Several signs said, “Give a hoot” and had many drivers honking their horns in support as they drove through Carrollton square last Friday past the prosecutors office. One protestor was extremely upset as he said that Lee had not only allegedly confessed to exposing himself on the day of the arrest, but gave deputies other dates when he had also exposed himself. Lee also allegedly told officers about the ideas and thoughts he had regarding the little girl. The protestor couldn’t understand how minimal charges could be filed and questioned why they were not felonies. Barnett issued a statement in which he said that the charges filed were not compatible with felonies and Lee could not be charged with felonies. Williams said he hopes that other parents come forward so that additional charges may be filed against Lee and hopes they increase his sentence. Lee will have a pre-trial hearing March 20 at 10 a.m. and his trial will be held Tuesday, March 26 at 9 a.m. in Carroll County Municipal Court.
Commissioners proclaim April as Sexual Assault Prevention Month By NANCY SCHAAR FPS Correspondent Carroll County Commissioners signed a proclamation to emphasize April as Sexual Assault Prevention Month. Ashley Bichard, a victim advocate for Compass, which is an affiliate with Good Will Industries, provided commissioners with information regarding the education, prevention, and support activities that are sponsored by their group. “People are more likely to come forward to receive help when they know it is out there, said Bichard.

Sandy Valley BOE hires home instructor, accepts resignations

The driver of a water tanker was injured in a crash on state Route 39 Thursday, March 14.
Crashes close two routes By KIMBERLY LEWIS FPS Editor
Fox Township firefighters were busy Thursday, March 14, responding to two accidents at the same time on two different state routes. The department, assisted by the Carrollton Village Fire Department, were called to 6194 Salineville Road NE (state Route 39), Mechanicstown, for a 4,200-gallon water tanker rollover at approximately 11:21 a.m. The driver, Dennis Adams, 50, of Canton, sustained serious injures after being trapped in the cab. Adams was tranported to Aultman Hospital by EMT Ambulance. The fully loaded tanker, owned
by Evolution Energy of McMurray, Pa., went off the right side of the roadway and over an embankment into a creek after shearing a power pole causing arcing live power lines close to the vehicle, said Fox Fire Chief Fred Barnett Jr. Two Ohio Department of Transportation employees, Todd Miles and Matt Miller, were the first to aid the driver after coming upon the scene, Barnett said. The men kept the driver’s head above the rising frigid creek waters until first responders arrived several minutes later. Carroll County Emergency Management Agency Director Tom Cottis was on the scene all day, along with the Carroll County Sheriff’s Department, the Ohio State Highway Patrol and the Ohio Department of Transportation.
Carroll Electric crews were also on the scene to repair the pole, which left more than 400 customers without power for several hours. A second Evolution Energy truck arrived to drain the water from the overturned vehicle. A representative of the company expressed his appreciation to all the emergency responders who assisted his long-time driver. While state Route 39 was closed for this accident, state Route 524 just south of Mechanicstown was also closed for a one-vehicle crash. Fox Township firefighters and a Carroll County sheriff’s deputy was on the scene as they removed the vehicle from that accident. The driver was southbound and drove off the right side of the roadway through a field before crossing the road and ended stricking an embankment.

Carrollton BOE considers Eastern Ohio Grazing Council to future of farmhouse host grazing workshop March 28 By NANCY SCHAAR FPS Correspondent Carrollton Schools Superintendent Dr. Dave Quattrochi discussed the future of the farmhouse that currently houses administration offices at the school property on State Route 332. Quattrochi explained to the board that the farmhouse is not compliant with Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Standards and will require approximately $400,000 to $500,000 to bring it into full compliance. Plus, it will require some external modernization to make it “fit in” with the new grades 6 to 12 campus environment. The new building is being constructed on the back of the farm property and classes will begin at the new campus in August of 2019. A new field house is also being constructed to the left of the farmhouse. At the beginning of the construction plans, Quattrochi said many times that they planned to keep the farmhouse as part of the county history. But there have been issues with the foundation, floors, and other items in the farmhouse. The biggest issue is the ADA compliance factor. That would have to include renovations for doorways, bathrooms, and the installation of an elevator to ac-
cess the second floor. The old farm property was purchased in 1989. The David Rutan property included 157 acres that included a “nine room modernized office building, a large barn, and a story and a half garage,” according to histories of the county. The property was purchased with the intent to provide a location for future schools, athletic fields and play areas. “I want the people to know what is going on. I want them to have a say in the matter. What do our stakeholders want to do? Keep it? Or tear it down?” questioned Quattrochi. Quattrochi said the majority of people that are talking to him about it, say tear it down, it’s an eyesore. If torn down, the administration offices would be located at the former pre-school building across the street from the Field of Dreams on SR 332, which would also need some renovations before they could use it. The board has issued the question to the public. A survey is available through March 25 at https://www.surveymonkey. com/r/YHZPQRH. The survey is also available on the school website at Carrolltonschools. org. In other business, the board: - ASSIGNED administrators for the next school year as: head high school principal Dave Davis, assistant elementary principal for grades 6-12 Timothy
Albrecht, assistant high school principal for grades 9-12 Caleb Crowl, middle school head principal Matthew Nicholas for grades K-5, and assistant elementary principal Darin Abel for grades K-5. - APPROVED a field trip for the Bell Herron Middle School choir to Norwin Middle School and Kennywood, PA, May 11. - HIRED Holly R.

Get ready, Carroll County! Severe Weather Awareness Week is March 17-23 As part of a coordinated effort with the Ohio Committee for Severe Weather Awareness, Governor Mike DeWine has proclaimed March 17-23 as Severe Weather Awareness Week and encourages all Ohioans to learn what to do to protect themselves from spring and summer weather hazards, including home emergencies. “Ohio’s weather can be unpredictable, so it’s important to be prepared,” said Governor DeWine. “Ohio has already had two tornadoes this year, along with extremely cold weather, heavy snowstorms, and flooding that resulted in a state of emergency in nearly two dozen Ohio counties. Ohio’s Severe Weather Awareness Week is an ideal time to learn about severe weather preparedness and get ready.” Governor DeWine proclaimed a state of emergency on Monday for the following 20 counties impacted by damaging flooding last month: Adams, Athens, Brown, Gallia, Guernsey, Hocking, Jackson, Jefferson, Lawrence, Meigs, Monroe, Morgan, Muskingum, Noble, Perry, Pike, Ross, Scioto, Vinton and Washington. The emergency proclamation authorizes various state departments and agencies to coordinate state and federal response and to assist local government in protecting the lives and property of Ohio residents. “As we have seen this winter, severe weather, such as tornadoes and flooding, doesn’t keep a calendar. We need to know of all the weather hazards that can impact our state and how to prepare and protect ourselves,” said Ohio Emergency Management Agency Executive Director Sima Merick. “Every minute counts in a disaster, so we encourage you to plan now so you’re prepared. Make emergency plans for the different hazards that can impact your household. Practice tornado and fire drills. Make emergency supply kits for your home or for your car, in case you need to evacuate. Additionally, consider purchasing flood insurance.” During the weather safety campaign, the state of Ohio will participate in a statewide tornado drill and test its Emergency Alert System Wednesday, March 20, at 9:50 a.m. During this time, Ohio counties will sound and test their outdoor warning sirens. Schools, businesses and households are encouraged to practice their tornado drills and emergency plans. What Can Ohioans Do During Severe Weather Awareness Week? - Prepare for Weather and Home Emergencies. Homes, schools and businesses should
update their safety/ communications plans. Practice tornado and fire drills. Replenish supplies in emergency kits. Be informed – Know the risks about the different disasters and hazards that can affect families where they live, work and go to school. Include children in emergency planning. - Know Ohio’s Weather Hazards. Ohio’s spring and summer weather hazards include tornadoes, thunderstorms, floods, and even snowstorms through early spring. Visit the OCSWA website: weathersafety.ohio.gov to view current Ohio weather and to review severe weather safety and preparedness information. - Know the Difference between Storm Watches and Warnings. Ensure that everyone knows the difference between a Tornado Watch and a Tornado Warning. A tornado watch means conditions are favorable for the development of tornadoes. A tornado warning is issued when a tornado is imminent or occurring. If a tornado warning is issued for your area, do not stop to take photos or shoot video. Seek safe shelter immediately. During tornado drills or actual tornado warnings, remember to DUCK! D – Go DOWN to the lowest level, stay away from windows. U – Get UNDER something (such as a basement staircase or heavy table or desk). C – COVER your head. K – KEEP in shelter until the storm has passed. Many Ohio counties have outdoor warning sirens that sound during severe storm and tornado warnings. During storm watches or warnings, listen to your NOAA Weather Radio or your local news for current weather conditions and information. People also receive notification of severe weather and other emergencies through their cellphones and mobile devices. Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA) are emergency texts sent by authorized government alerting authorities. WEAs can notify you of storm warnings, local emergencies requiring evacuation or immediate action, AMBER Alerts, and Presidential Alerts.
Sherrodsville council address potholes, EMS By NANCY SCHAAR FPS Correspondent Sherrodsville Village Council held lengthy discussion regarding the filling of potholes and what options are available for making street repairs. Mayor Ken Moffat said the complaints continue to come in regarding the condition of Dawn and Crane Roads, especially Dawn Road. “It’s frustrating to keep spending so much money on Dawn Road every year when we don’t have one village resident with a mailbox on it,” said Moffat. Council agreed it is frustrating to keep fixing Dawn Road when the damage is being done by large trucks using the road for businesses located out of the village limits and not one resident of Sherrodsville has a mailbox on that road. Council solicitor J. J. Ong advised that council could approach the businesses that use the road and discuss the option of a Road Use Maintenance Agreement. This would bring funds to the village that would be used specifically for Dawn Road. Safety Committee chair Michele Higgenbotham reported that she had received an email from Regional, Inc. “There wasn’t much in the email, not even an address to send a response. All it said was that they want to lease the EMS building and squads,” said Higgenbotham.
Higgenbotham said they didn’t offer any compensation, they just said they wanted it. The Safety Committee advised council that they voted not to lease the building to this company. Council agreed and will send a letter to the business telling them they do not want to lease the building to them. Joel Bender of Whitaker Myers Insurance presented council with updated figures for their village insurance. Property insurance increased slightly, but reductions in premiums were made due to the village no longer having a fire or EMS department. The large equipment has been removed from the insurance list and will reduce costs for the village. In other business council: - SET village wide yard sale date for Saturday, June 8. - WILL host a village wide cleanup day Saturday, June 15. - REMINDED the village that the council seats for Lila Booth and for Bud Newell end in 2019. Two vacant seats remain on council. Anyone interested in serving must be a registered voter and reside in the village. - HEARD from Ong that he has an officer who is willing to be police chief for the village and enforce the ordinances of the village. - RECEIVED a check from the county that pays for the ball field damages from the sentencing of a vandal. - Moffat reported that he is still trying to obtain a fleet number before a truck for the village is purchased.
Pastor’s Pen
We are in the Lenten season and, among other things, it is a time of spiritual renewal. We ask ourselves, “Is my life a reflection of the teachings of Jesus?” Jesus told his followers that they were the “light of the world.” He went on to say, “Let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.” Do our neighbors see our good deeds, or do they see a person who can be unfriendly, who gossips, or who is quick to judge others? It’s our choice on how we live! As a teen in a small town I spent a lot of time riding my bike. I kept the bike in the garage which had no door on the front. My dad left for work very early in the morning and one day he noticed that my bike was missing, but back in place in the evening when he got home. He asked me about it, but I didn’t have an answer. Dad devised a scheme to discover what was happening. He attached string to tin cans and lined them up across the entrance to the garage. One night he heard the cans clanging. When he got to the garage, he found a neighbor boy tangled in the cans trying to take my bike. He confronted the boy who explained he was taking the bike and using it on his new paper route in the morning. Dad knew the boy’s family didn’t have much money so instead of making a big deal, dad gave permission for the boy to borrow the bike. In that moment dad was reflecting the light of Jesus. Granted the boy should have asked to use the bike and I’m certain my dad explained that, however, through his actions my father taught me about loving my neighbor. A few weeks later that boy had a bike of his own, thanks to my dad. Where dad got the money for the bike I’ll never know, but I know where the love came from. Praise the Lord! Pastor Jim Painting
Lest We Forget By CAPT. CHARLES PEARSON
U.S. Marine Corps, ret. Tibor Rubin was born in Hungary and was imprisoned in a German concentration camp during World War II and was liberated by American troops. He was impressed by the Americans and wanted to be like them. He traveled to the United States to become a citizen. He later said, “When I came to America, it was the first time I was free.” He then joined the U.S. Army to show his appreciation. In 1950, he was a member of the Eighth Army on the road to Pusan, Korea. To be truthful, the first Americans had come to the war too speedily to have any chance of indoctrination about its higher purpose. They were aware only of the desperate need to survive against the cluster of “gooks” working up to trample them down. The struggle for the Pusan was fierce.
As his unit retreated to Pusan where they would take their stand against the Communists, Rubin stayed behind to keep open the vital Tae-gu-Pusan road link. He “inflicted a staggering number of casualties on the attacking force during his Medal of Honor citation. Rubin was captured by the communists. While a prisoner, he broke into enemy food storehouses and gardens seeking food and medical supplies for his fellow prisoners. “His brave, selfless efforts saved the lives of as many as 40 of his fellow prisoners,” his citation reads. We do not choose our own parts in life. Our duty is confined to playing them well. We know that God is everywhere at all times and surely God was in Rubin’s heart as he played his part. Please remember to keep all of our service men and women and their families in your prayers. Charles Pearson is the chaplain for the Malvern Legion Post 375 and Carrollton VFW Post 3301.

SPRING HOME IMPROVEMENT
Thursday, March 21, 2019
Questions to ask before embracing DIY Home improvement projects are as popular as ever. In its 2017 True Cost Survey, the home improvement site HomeAdvisor found that, between February 2016 and February 2017, homeowners spent an average of just over $5,000 on home projects. That marked a nearly $1,900 increase from the year prior, indicating that homeowners are increasingly opening their wallets to transform their homes. In addition to spending money to improve their homes, many homeowners are spending their time on projects as well. While DIY projects can provide a sense of fulfillment and personal attachment to one’s home, prospective do-ityourselfers should ask themselves some questions before picking up their hammers and getting to work. Do I have any physical limitations? No matter how much home improvement television shows may simplify projects, prospective DIYers should know that such undertakings are typically very difficult and oftentimes physically demanding. Homeowners with existing health conditions or other physical limitations may not be capable of performing certain tasks or may need to take frequent breaks, which can delay projects. Do I have the time? Many home improvement projects require a significant amount of time to complete. Homeowners whose time is already stretched thin with commitments to work and/or family may not be able to complete projects within a reasonable amount of time. That’s fine if working on a part of the home that won’t affect daily life, but can prove stressful or problematic if the project is in a room, such as a kitchen or bathroom, that residents of the home use each day. Novice DIYers should be especially honest with themselves about the time they have available to work on the project, as such homeowners are bound to experience a few time-consuming missteps along the way. Can I afford it? While DIY might seem more affordable than hiring a con-

tractor, that’s not necessarily true. Novice DIYers may need to buy or rent tools, costs that can add up. Contractors already have the tools necessary to begin and complete projects, so the cost savings of DIY might not be as significant as homeowners think. Before going the DIY route, homeowners should solicit estimates from contractors, comparing the estimates to how much a project will cost if homeowners do it themselves. Can I go it alone? Many home improvement projects require more than one set of hands, and it’s risky and even foolish for first-time DIYers to assume they can begin a project and see it through to completion entirely on their

own. Homeowners whose spouses, partners, friends, or relatives are willing to chip in may think that’s enough. However, the DIY skills of those who volunteer may be a mystery until the project begins. Novice DIYers should enlist the help of a friend or family member with home improvement experience. If no such person is available, it may be wise to hire a contractor instead. Home improvement projects may seem simple on television. But prospective do-it-yourselfers must make honest assessments of their skills, time and budgets before taking on a DIY project.

How many times have you sat on the sofa pouring over a home magazine wishing your rooms could be ripped from its pages? Some people are gifted with a natural talent to impart a space with perfectly balanced colors and schemes that fit with one’s lifestyle and design preferences. Others are not as equipped. But that doesn’t mean design has to suffer. An interior designer with knowledge and resources who’s in your corner can make all the difference. Many people are hesitant to bring in professional designers because of cost. But contrary to popular belief, working with an interior decorator is not something reserved for the rich and famous. Designers actually can save homeowners money in
the long run. A good designer will choose the right amount of high-quality elements that will be durable and timeless. This means less money will ultimately be spent on replacing cheap materials or redesigning rooms that have gone out of style. According to the design experts at Homepolish, utilizing a designer to transform a space can create rooms that are more in tune and balanced with homeowners’ needs — helping to improve mood and functionality. That can extend to other areas of a person’s life and well-being. Putting the task of designing a home’s interior in someone else’s hands frees up time to focus on other projects as well. Designers can look at a space with a careful eye and not be
influenced by items that have sentimental attachment. He or she can help decide if anything should be repurposed or removed. Plus, an interior designer can help homeowners stay on budget. Designers also can serve as liaisons for clients who have difficulty communicating with builders and architects. Designers are trained to think about things that homeowners tend to overlook, such as placement of lighting, outlets and room flow. He or she also likely has contacts within the industry that can be utilized, saving even more time and money. A good designer can be worth the investment. The end results will be an interior that homeowners will be proud to call home.
Quick and simple ways to make a front door pop Visitors’ impressions of a home are often dictated by the home’s entryway. Must as one may judge a book by its cover, the same can be said about the impression that a front door and entryway can create, regardless of how accurate that impression is. Making certain changes to an entryway can go a long way toward improving curb appeal. Entryways also can set the scene for a home’s interior. Whether one chooses to be classic or bold, modern or traditional, there are various ways to quickly transform a home’s entryway. • Bold front door color: Color can dramatically enhance an entryway. Painting an existing door or replacing it with a more vivid option can do the trick. The DIY Network says certain colors stand out as favorites. These include turquoise, yellow, red, indigo, orange, and black. The door color should complement the other shades of the home, such as those on siding and trim. • Custom walkway: Guide guests right to the front door with an attractive (and safe) walkway. Stamped concrete or
decorative paver blocks may fit the bill. This walkway can extend to the street or to the driveway. • Contain plants. Landscaping around the entryway should be neat and well-tended. Overgrown plants or shrubbery may give off an air of neglect. Container plants and carefully curated shrubs can create a neat and inviting aura. • Highlight the address. Make sure the home can be found easily with bold and decorative house numbers. Consider two different address signs: one illuminated and easily viewed from the curb, and another closer to the front door. • Utilize high-end materials.
The relatively small area of real estate by the front door enables homeowners to splurge on more opulent materials that can really add a feeling of luxury. These can include colorful tiles, ornate planters, decorative wooden doors, or elaborate knobs and lighting fixtures. • Add architectural details. Find out which architectural elements will meld with the style of the home and then incorporate them. Moldings, columns, shutters, and trim are areas to consider. The entryway to a home garners a lot of attention. Homeowners can enhance their spaces with entryways that really make a statement.

Improve your home’s curb appeal with paint and more (MS) — An attractive front entrance area gives a home curb appeal that invites both guests and potential home buyers. Upgrading a home’s exterior can be as simple as painting or as complex as installing new windows or adding a patio. Inspiration for a curb appeal “makeover� that reflects the owner’s budget and decorating choices are easy to find online. Stop by the nearest Woodcraft store for tools and supplies, along with helpful advice from the staff, or visit Woodcraft. com to shop and read how-to blogs and articles. One of the easiest and quickest ways to boost curb appeal is to paint (and repair if needed) a home’s front door, molding and trim. Painting garage doors, porches, shutters, doorsteps, flower boxes, furniture, mailboxes/stands, and window trim are other potential projects, as is changing the front door hardware. For front door and shutter painting inspiration, visit these informational blogs on Woodcraft.com: Front Door

When it can be smart to hire a painting pro Few things can revitalize a home more readily than a fresh coat of paint. Thanks in part to the affordability of paint and its ease of application, painting is something that even novice DIYers can typically handle. According to the marketing advice guru Brandon Gaille, it is estimated that residential interior paint only lasts around three years before it needs to be updated. Exterior paint can fade, chip and peel due to various environmental factors. As a result, many homes can likely use a fresh coat of paint in at least one room. As DIY-friendly as painting can be, when attempting to paint the interior or exterior of their homes, homeowners may learn that some painting projects are best left to the professionals. Painting requires skill, patience and a knowledge of how various paints — including finishes for particular applications — will hold up. Novice painters may do more harm than good by dripping paint on expensive carpeting or floors or fail to recognize the nuances that indicate a spot-on painting job. Professional painters have spent hours upon hours learning the ropes of what works — and what does not. Painters often understand that painstaking preparatory work is crucial to getting pristine finished results. Walls and ceilings must be properly repaired and prepared even before a base coat is applied. Professional painters also have an eye for details. And because professional painters make a business out of doing interior and exterior surfaces, they understand which tech-

niques can improve efficiency. That means a professional job can typically be completed much more quickly than a DIY project. Even though some people think they’ll save money by painting their own homes, that’s not necessarily true. Professionals already have all the equipment necessary, unlike novices who may need to make repeated and potentially costly trips to the hardware store for supplies.

Archaic wiring may not support electrical needs Old homes can be charming and contain architectural elements not often seen in many modern housing developments. But what older homes may have in design appeal, they may lack in updated features. While cosmetic changes are not necessarily difficult, one area of concern in historic homes — and sometimes even in houses built 40 or 50 years ago — is archaic wiring. Wiring provides power to every room of the home. In today’s electronics-driven society, electricity that works is an essential component of daily life. Over time, wiring can be compromised through simple aging, pest infiltration, weather, or other conditions. Deteriorated wiring can present a shock hazard and also a serious fire hazard, warn the home renovation experts at The Spruce. Furthermore, the home improvement site This Old House advises that the amperage of old wiring may not be able to meet the needs of the devices used in homes — overpowering the circuits. This can cause breaker blowouts and
additional time and money fixing them. Safety can be a large motivator for turning painting over to a pro. Navigating exterior areas or tall interior ceilings can be challenging and may require scaffolding or tall ladders DIYers do not have. Risk of falls or other injuries increase with lack of experience. Painting can give a home a facelift, and oftentimes it is smart to turn the work over to professionals to ensure the job is done just right.

other problems, such as overheated wires that may spark and cause fires from within the wall. Wiring often falls into the “out of sight, out of mind� category. Homeowners may make allowances for inadequate electrical systems, such as running extension cords or using multiplug connectors to increase their wiring capacity. However, they may not be diligently keeping on top of upgrades needed to stay safe. Confirming that a home’s electrical system is safe is a necessary part of home maintenance.

“The Quality You Want For Your Project�
For those who haven’t already done so, schedule an inspection with a licensed electrician to go over the home’s wiring. He or she can determine if any areas pose a safety risk and/or do not conform to local code requirements and the National Electrical Code. Failure to meet code can lead to difficulty obtaining permits to make other home renovations, or difficulty selling a home later on. The electrician can also go over improvements that can improve safety and function. Additional outlets, including GFCI outlets in kitchens and bathrooms, may be part of the plan, as well as rewiring a fuse box or circuit panel to allow for better flow of power around the house. Frayed wiring or underinsulated wiring also may need to be replaced. Owners of old homes should recognize possible electrical system dangers that require attention. Plus, considering electrical codes change quite frequently, it is always in a homeowner’s best interest to work with a qualified electrician to keep wiring inspected and up to date.

Cardinals basketball team falls in regional semifinals to Pirates
ATHENS - A historically great season has come to an end for the Sandy Valley Cardinals boys basketball team. In the Division III Regional Semifinals, one win away from an elite eight berth, the Cardinals met their match when they took on the Wheelersburg Pirates. Sandy Valley jumped out to an early lead against the Pirates. They even held onto the lead throughout most of the game, leading 37-22 midway through the third quarter. Sandy Valley’s lead vanished, and it vanished fast when Wheelerburg put together a 14-0 run in the third quarter. Wheelersburg’s Tanner Holden was a force late in the game, scoring 22 points, 14 of them in the second half. Holden scored six points during the Pirates 14-0 run. Sandy Valley’s Bryce Kelly tamed Holden in the first half, playing stellar defense, holding him to only eight
points before he erupted for 22. The Cardinals led 25-20 at halftime. Wheelersburg Connor Mullins sank a pair of free throws with :16 remaining in the game, but Sandy Valley’s Dante Tucci had a quick response when he made a three, bringing the Cardinals within two points (50-48). With 5.4 records remaining in regulation, Wheelersburg’s Trent Salyer made one of two foul shots, extending the Pirates lead to 51-48. Sandy Valley’s Keegan Offenberger had a shot to send the game into overtime with a three, but his shot bounced off the front of the rim as the clock struck zero. Kelly led the Cardinals with a teamhigh 12 points, Tucci added 11 points, 10 boards and three assists. Offenberged scored 10 points for the Cardinals. The Cardinals end their season with a record of 19-8 with a 51-48 loss to the Pirates.

Sandy Valley graduate named Ohio University’s next head coach
Jeff Boals
Former team captain, Jeff Boals, of the Ohio University Men’s Basketball, has been named the 19th head coach in the history of the Ohio University men's basketball program, as announced by Director of Athletics Jim Schaus today. "I am incredibly grateful and honored to return home to my alma mater as the head men's basketball at Ohio University," said Boals. "My family and I are thrilled to see my coaching career come full circle with this opportunity. Sincere thanks to Dr. Nellis and to Jim Schaus for their confidence in me to lead the young men of Ohio both on and off the court." Boals is returning to Athens after spending the previous three seasons (2016-19) as the head coach at Stony Brook. He has guided the Seawolves to an overall record of 55-41 – including a 31-17 mark in America East Conference play. Stony Brook
has gone 24-8 (12-4 AEC) in 201819 and will be making its second postseason appearance in the last three years. The Seawolves received an invitation to the College Basketball Invitational Tournament in 2017. Stony Brook placed five studentathletes on the America East's All-Conference Teams in 2018-19, with sophomore center Jeff Otchere being named the league's Defensive Player of the Year and redshirt sophomore guard/forward Andrew Garcia being tabbed as Sixth Man of the Year. A native of Magnolia and graduate of Sandy Valley High School, Boals is a 1995 graduate of Ohio University. He served as a two-time team captain and garnered four varsity letters under the leadership of his head coach, the late Larry Hunter. "I am ecstatic about our hiring of Jeff Boals to lead our men's basketball program," said Schaus. "He is the
perfect fit for us and checks all the boxes. Of course, Jeff is a Bobcat and former player so he understands what it is like to play and succeed here. Jeff is a proven head coach with a wealth of successful coaching experience during his career. He is well-respected for his knowledge of the game and knows how to develop players. He is a great person that will relate well to his players, assistant coaches, staff and fans. The future is bright for OHIO men's basketball with Jeff Boals leading the way. I can't wait for him to get started!" A member of Thad Matta's coaching staff from 2009-16, Boals helped guide Ohio State to seven postseason appearances, including six NCAA Tournaments. The Buckeyes, who won or claimed a share of three Big Ten Conference titles, advanced to the Final Four in 2012. Ohio State went 193-62 during Boals' time in Columbus.
Boals was instrumental in bringing some of the top players in the nation to Ohio State, including current NBA stars Jared Sullinger and D'Angelo Russell, along with Aaron Craft, the all-time steals and assist leader in Ohio State history. He also coached the 2010 National Player of the Year, Evan Turner, during his outstanding collegiate career with the Buckeyes. “I am excited to welcome Jeff Boals back to Ohio University,” said President M. Duane Nellis. “He is well respected in the world of college athletics, and in addition to a winning track record, he will bring a high level of integrity, and commitment to academic achievement and success to our men’s basketball program. He will make a great addition to the Ohio University family!” Boals and his wife, Katie, have two children, Sydney and Chase.

Sherry’s Book Corner Hello everyone! Since yesterday was the first day of spring, we’ll all face many more activities outside. So... I thought I’d feature another fine novel for your enjoyment. Once I started reading this story it was hard for me to put down. Oh how I wish all stories were like this. You know the kind. They set the scene in your mind. You can almost smell their surroundings. And if the sun were out, you would feel it. Words to a writer is a gift finer than gold. Did you ever think about that? I need to think about that statement I just made more often. For you those of you who like to write I’d like to share this quote with you. My sister-in-law Vic drew an illu s t rat i o n of a writer alongside these words. “If you wait for inspiration, you’re a waiter, not a writer.” – Unknown. How do I know she is a writer you may ask? Because she is holding a pencil! I now keep this on my desk as a reminder that I do love to write and I need to write more often.

Bell-Herron Scholarship Foundation Fund Drive planned for April
The annual Bell-Herron Scholarship Foundation Fund Drive will be conducted from March 30 to April 30. Contributions are being sought until April 30 in an attempt to meet the 2019 drive goal of $10,000. Contributions of $5 or more, which are tax deductible, entitle the donor to a voting membership in the scholarship foundation. Since its establishment in 1963, the Foundation has invested $1,344,850 in providing post high school training for local and area young people within the Carrollton Exempted Village School District. There have been 1,214 recipients over these past 55 years. Last year, 32 scholarships were awarded by the Bell-Herron Scholarship Foundation totaling $46,750. Due to the generosity of the late Dr. Glenn C. Dowell, five scholarships to The Ohio State University were provided last year totaling $9,000. Seven scholarships were also awarded in memory of Mrs. Bert (Jane) Lytle, totaling $8,000. The leadership scholarships created by Steve and Suzanne Harter awarded $3,750 to three students to attend Mount Union University. Also, last year four senior Bell-Herron scholarships were given that totaled $6,000. In addition, there were six recipients for the Bell-Herron Earl and Marie Carlton Scholarships, which totaled $12,000. The Bell-Herron
Anderson Memorial Scholarship of five recipients totaled $5,000. This year, two new scholarships are in the memory of Mary Kean White and Phyllis Newell for a total of $3,000. The Foundation was established in honor and memory of W.R. Bell and J. Wendell Herron, both former superintendents at Carrollton Schools. Current Foundation officers are Atty. Sean Smith, president; David Davis, vice president; Linda Shotwell, treasurer, and DiAnne Buck, secretary. All scholarships are awarded to graduates of Carrollton High School. While no one student is awarded a large amount, the financial and moral support, which a scholarship provides often, is the extra boost needed to allow that student to begin a program of higher education. Ninety-eight percent of the Fund’s income is given to recipients, with only two percent for expenses. No amount goes to its officers for any compensation or salary. Donations may be mailed to the Bell-Herron Foundation treasurer, Linda Shotwell, P.O. Box 123, Carrollton, Ohio 44615. Contributions may be given any time of the year. Memorials, class gifts, or donations also may be a consideration for the future. If you have any questions, please contact Sean Smith at 330-627-4770.

Tickets on sale now for Minerva’s prom “Come Sail Away” is the appropriate theme for this year’s Minerva High School prom when students will have an opportunity to go sailing on the riverfront in Cleveland! According to school officials, arrangements have been made to hold the 2019 prom May 4 aboard the GoodTimes III in Cleveland. However, there will be no personal transportation allowed. Prom goers are required to board charter busses in Minerva for Cleveland, where they will be aboard the Goodtime III for 2 ½ hours. The cost is $50 per student, which includes the charter bus transportation to and from
Cleveland, Goodtimes III dinner, music and dancing aboard the boat and a cruise down the riverfront. Permission slips are available at the attendance window by the main office at Minerva High School through Friday, April 19. No tickets will be sold after April 19 when the reservation for the boat is due, school officials said. A promenade will be held from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. prom night in the Minerva High School main gymnasium where the 2019 prom king and queen will be crowned at the conclusion of the promenade. Prom goers will board charter buses for Cleveland at 4:45 p.m.
Dunlap Photography will again be providing their picture services this year. Students must make an appointment with Dunlap’s when their permission slips are turned into the Minerva High School office. Anyone having questions regarding the prom should contact Heidi Soles at 330-868-4134, ext. 3005. A Post Prom, sponsored by the Students Against Destructive Decisions, will also be held this year at Minerva High School from midnight until 2 a.m. for a $5 pledge that can be paid during lunch periods at the high school. The $5 pledge will be returned
to those students who stay until 2 a.m. where there will be plenty of food as well as gift certificates and other prizes to be given away. Any junior or senior, including RG Drage students, may attend, regardless of whether they are attending the prom. Those planning to attend the post prom should contact Mrs. Coldwell in room 204N before school or place an envelope with $5 and your name and grade in her mailbox in the office. Anyone bringing a date, a guest pass should be turned in and the additional $5 along with the name and grade as well on the envelope.

Treasured Sensations showcases handcrafts, collectibles in new location By GEORGETTE HUFF FPS Contributor
BOB YOUNG and DICK KIKO, JR.
Kiko, Young’s Auction Services join forces KIKO Company, Ohio’s leading auctioneers, realtors and asset advisors, have teamed up with Akron-based Young’s Auction Service to deliver the most professional real estate and auction services in all of northeast Ohio. Founded in 2007 by Bob Young and his wife Tina, Young’s Auction Service is the Akron area’s prominent full-service auction company specializing in real estate, antiques/collectibles, firearms and weekly consignment auctions. “At KIKO, we believe our role is to provide advice and options to sellers with a commitment to integrity, collaboration and caring,” says Dick Kiko Jr., CEO of KIKO Company. “Bob Young and his team at Young’s Auction Service exemplify this mission. As a family business themselves, they are committed to providing an exceptional experience for both buyers and sellers, treating everyone with honesty and respect. I am very excited to have Bob join KIKO and continue his work as a leading asset advisor.”
Young will be a licensed auctioneer and realtor with KIKO serving the Akron Metro area, including west to Medina/Wadsworth, south to Green/Barberton and north to Hudson/ Cuyahoga Falls. He will focus on residential real estate, farms and land, commercial properties and quality collectibles. Young is also a Federal Firearms Licensee, helping clients liquidate firearms safely, legally and effectively. Young and his team will continue to operate Young’s Auction Center, a facility located in Akron, Ohio that hosts quality consignment auctions every Friday at 6 p.m. KIKO Company was founded in 1945 by Russell T. Kiko, Sr. Russ began in the auction business, conducting sales on the family farm with help from his wife, Coletta, and their 13 children. Seeing himself as a pioneer in the auction industry, Russ selected a covered wagon as the company logo, and now the KIKO wagon is a well-recognized brand representing auction excellence in Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia.
There is no mistaking Carla Fahrni’s excitement about her shop’s new location. It was evident as she ushered a tour of Treasured Sensations, which recently relocated to 221 N. Market Street in Minerva. Natural light streamed through large windows and a faux fireplace added a welcoming glow to the newly-renovated showroom where displays are thoughtfully arranged to give customers ample room to browse. Fahrni explained the idea to open a retail shop originated with the need to provide a more convenient access for customers of her home-based business making “Memory Mutts.” The floppy-eared “mutts” are available in two sizes. Each is handmade to order by Carla, using personal articles of clothing supplied by the customer. She describes the process of creating each piece as a means of “self-expression” for herself as well as providing a meaningful keepsake for recipients. In addition to plaques made by Fahrni, the shop also stocks jewelry made by local artisans, as well as engraved etched glass pieces made by the late Tammy Shaffer. Newer and vintage collectibles are featured, including signed pieces of Fenton, Viking glassware and Precious Moments figurines. A wide variety of body and fragrance oils is available, and it’s Christmas every day at Treasured Sensations, with a variety of newer and older ornaments,

stockings and decorative items available year-round. Recent additions include Himalayan Salt Lamps, which are reputed to offer health benefits including aiding with allergies, asthma and other breathing maladies; a variety of all-natural jams, marmalade and jellies from the Vermont Country Store; and a line of spices and seasoning blends and loose leaf tea produced by the Atlantic Spice Co. of Truro, Mass. Treasured Sensations is open 12:30-6 p.m., Wednesday through Saturday. The phone number is 330-705-3771. Like the business on Facebook @ memory mutts.
