Johnson, AT&T retirees present suitcases to JFS

By KIMBERLY LEWIS FPS Editor For a child being taken from his or her home for their own safety, staff at the Carroll County Jobs and Family Services do what all other similar protective agencies do - they gather the child’s belongs in garbage bags as they move him or her into a foster or kin home.

On Thursday, March 21, the AT&T Pioneers Northeast Ohio Chapter, joined by U.S. Congressman Bill Johnson, presented 10 new children’s suitcases to the Carorll County Job and Family Services to be used for the children.

The suitcases will be used for children in need and each child will get a new toothbrush and blanket in the suitcase.

AT&T Pioneers is a group of vol-

unteers made up of retired and active employees committed to their communities.

“Our Ohio chapters work hard throughout the year, volunteering time and funding to carefully screened 501c3 charities in our state,” said Steve Kristan, AT&T External Affairs director. “As long as there’s a need – no matter how large or small – Pioneers answer the call in every way imaginable.”

The Pioneers raised money to help children who are going into foster care on short notice. The children often see their belongings carried in plastic or trash bags in these urgent situations. It adds discomfort to a difficult situation.

“When children come into care because of abuse or neglect, many have only the clothing on their back,” said Congressman Johnson. “They can

Lion King Jr. performances sold out

By NANCY SCHAAR FPS Correspondent If you did not attend any of the four performances at Bell Herron Middle School Auditorium of the Lion King Jr., you missed a lot.

You missed the joyous blend of voices and music. You missed the last stage performance of 2019 seniors.

You missed the bittersweet last performance on the stage at Bell Herron.

You missed three generations of families present who have performed on that stage when they were in school at Bell Herron. You missed delightful

comedic lines. You missed colorful costumes. You missed wonderful creative scenery and props.

You missed it.

Before the last show began, all performers met in the gym in a big circle.

Rafiki (a.k.a. Jared DeGarmo) led the actors and crew in various performance exercises. He was able to settle nerves, move the excitement in the right direction and helped keep tears at bay for some.

At the end of their own circle of high school life, senior class members reflected on this performance and their lives spent at Carrollton Schools.

Olivia Kienzle, daughter of Duane Kienzle and Rose Kienzle, said this was her eighth performance in theatre

productions. “This is my final show. It has all been absolutely amazing,” said Olivia.

Jared DeGarmo, the son of Jake DeGarmo and Becky Everhart, said that he was blessed to have been a part of this whole production. “It was a fun and crazy period in my life. It’s very emotional. We’ve known each other since we were little kids. I love all of you more than I can say. My advice to all of you here tonight is to leave nothing behind. When you are out there on the stage, give your performance everything you have to give. Leave nothing

Stanton Elementary sixth-grader Zachary Kuntz is heading to the nation’s capital after gaining top honors at the 2019 Jefferson-Harrison County Regional Spelling Bee. Kuntz, the son of Brian and Kasey Kuntz of Knoxville, was first out of 50 competitors and won with his correct spelling of the word valence, a chemistry term which is defined as “the combining power of an element, especially as measured by the number of hydrogen atoms it can displace or combine with.” Kuntz completed 15 rounds in 1 hour and 58 minutes at Buckeye North Elementary School in Brilliant and said he was surprised by the win.

“I couldn’t believe it,” he said. “I studied for 10 hours the night before and was very nervous.”

He also noted his family’s pride, especially older brother Ben’s, whose birthday coincided with Kuntz’s victory.

“I don’t think they believe it either,” he added, saying Ben’s wish was for him to win the competition.

His successful conclusion was different from his turn during Edison Local’s district bee, where he landed in eighth place. Still, he considers himself to be a good speller but said his favorite subjects are math and science, plus he enjoys playing football.

Kuntz will be brushing up on his words soon as he advances to the Scripps National Spelling Bee in Washington, D.C., in May. He received an all-expenses-paid trip to the event from the bee sponsors, as well as a trophy provided by the Jefferson County Educational Service Center.

Among other prizes he earned were the Samuel Louis Sugarman Award, a oneyear subscription to Brittanica Online Premium from Encyclopedia Brittani-

ZACHARY KUNTZ ca and Merriam-WebsterUnabridged. com and $250 from Huntington Bank.

Rounding out the top 10 were Lindsey Zifzal, an eighth-grader at Indian Creek Middle School, at second; Cara Motto, a sixth-grader at South Elementary School, third; Maximilian Gan, a sixth-grader in the Ohio Virtual Academy, fourth; Jordan Fritz, a seventh-grader at Harding Middle School, fifth; Cam’Ron Ajebe, a sixth-grader at Harding Middle, sixth; Sara Johnston, a seventh-grader at Edison Junior High School, seventh; Mary Jones, a homeschooled sixth-grader, eighth; Ember Davenport, a fifth-grader at Harrison East Elementary, ninth; and Gianna Barker, a sixth-grader at Harding Middle, 10th.

This year’s regional bee was presented by the Herald-Star.

Commissioners learn of possible Lee changes plea to guilty new health clinic for county on indecency charges

By NANCY SCHAAR FPS Correspondent

Carroll County Health Department Director of Nursing Kelly Engelhart provided information to commissioners regarding the implementation of a new health program for the county.

Englehart said that Carroll County could receive a grant of $650,000 for two years with $150,000 being provided in the first year for start up costs.

There would also be a three year renewal contract after the first two years.

The health clinic, including a dentist, would be located on the top floor of the county health department building on Moody Avenue in Carrollton.

Engelhart explained many services would be available that are not currently available to county residents without going to another county to receive those services.

The health center would employ seven to eight full time staff members.

The final phase of the grant application

more inside

will be submitted April 11. The grant will be awarded September 1 and the center would have to be operational within 120 days.

Commissioner Bob Wirkner praised Engelhart for the impressive improvements made to the department within the last year. Wirkner said the problems they experienced with the health department in late 2017 and through 2018 with personnel and budgeting disasters seems to have been completely turned around.

“We are trying to keep things simple and transparent,” replied Engelhart.

Carroll County Engineer Brian Wise opened bids before commissioners for the supply of concrete, asphalt materials, petroleum, and road materials.

With the approval of Wise, all bids were accepted except for diesel fuel.

Wise will bring that bid back before commissioners March 28.

Gary Lee, Jr. appeared before Municipal Court Judge Gary Willen and changed his plea from not guilty to guilty.

Lee was arrested March 8 and charged with three misdemeanor counts of public indecency after plain clothed deputies allegedly saw him exposing himself to a young girl as she got off the school bus at her home.

After Lee changed his plea and waived his constitutional rights, Judge Gary Willen said that each count carried a $750 fine and 90 days in jail. Lee had been held on a $100,000 cash bond, but Willen said that bond has now been revoked. Lee remains in the county jail.

Through the school resource office, Carroll County Sheriff Dale Williams had a deputy ride the school bus and the bus was followed with two more

opinion pg. 5

plain clothed officers who also witnessed the exposure.

Lee allegedly admitted to deputies during questioning that he had committed the act and had done so on other occasions as well. If Lee had been released on bond, he was not permitted to have any contact with any child under the age of 18, be placed with a GPS monitor, and remain at least 1,000 yards away from any child under the age of 18.

Protestors gathered on the square Friday, March 15, to question the prosecutor why felony charges weren’t filed. Protestors were upset that a man charged recently with beating a dog received a stiffer sentence than Lee did.

County Prosecutor Steven Barnett said he was limited by the law as to the charges that could be filed against Lee. Barnett said “the laws regarding public indecency needs to have more teeth for circumstances such as this”.

A pre-sentence investigation was ordered by the court and Lee will appear before Judge Willen again Wednesday, April 24 at 10 a.m.

Carrollton council to invest funds

By NANCY SCHAAR FPS Correspondent Carrollton Village council discussed the option of investing village funds into money market or Certificate of Deposit.

Mayor William Stoneman suggested $1.5 million be placed in a one year CD and $400,00 should be left available for their use in case of an emergency.

Council member Brittany Tangler suggested placing the funds in a money market account that provides 2% interest and money can be withdrawn at any time without a penalty.

COUNTY MUNICIPAL COURT

LION from PG. 1 behind,” stated Jared.

Olan Domer, son of Brian and Mindy Domer, named all the productions he had performed in during his years at Carrollton Schools. Domer thanked his parents, and his sister and Mr. and Mrs. Nuzz (Nuzzolillo) for all they have taught him and shared with him.

Vocal Director Mindy Domer was very emotional at the final performance. Not only was it the last performance on this stage, but it was the last performance for her son, Olan, in a Carrollton Schools production.

“As I reflect on the Lion King production, I am deeply grateful for the vision that Alzana Nuzzolillo had in choosing this particular show to close our beloved Bell Herron stage. The many layers of symbolism in this show’s dialogue and lyrics were the perfect parallel to closing this chapter of stage productions in Carrollton Schools.

Many incredible directors, actors and musicians graced that same stage providing a wealth of inspiration, celebration and incredible artistry which has anchored the solid education provided for generations of students. I am privileged to have performed and directed in the same space where my grandfather appeared in two productions, my mom was in charge of props and both of my children brought to life great stories with incredible fellow cast members.

I am grateful for the scores of hands and voices that have contributed to growing unusually great performers from this community,” said Domer.

Ron and Alzana Nuzzolillo were directors for this year’s spring musical production.

“Mrs. Nuzz”, as she is fondly known to the students, said that this was an incredible show.

“This was a great group of kids. There are 120 kids in this show. It was amazing to see how the high school students opened their arms to the young elementary students who were in the show. It was just incredible. These students are just very special,” said Mrs. Nuzz.

The ending of the performance was quite emotional as directors, teachers and special friends were honored not only with bouquets of flowers but with bouquets of feelings and words that expressed how these students felt about the people who had given so much of their time, patience and talents to them.

Ticket sales were very brisk as the first three performances sold out in less than two weeks.

A fourth show, a Saturday matinee, was added and it too was a sellout.

As students acknowledged in their comments, it may have been the ending of a special

County hopes to receive state emergency road funds

By NANCY SCHAAR FPS Correspondent On March 20, Governor Mike DeWine declared a state of emergency for 37 counties in the State of Ohio.

DeWine made this declaration after learning of the serious damage done to roads because of the severe weather the state has endured the last few months.

This proclamation will give the Ohio Department of Transportation and local government’s access to federal emergency relief funds. All 37 counties have had damage to roads.

“Many of these roads are in dangerous condition, impacting the safety of Ohio’s drivers. By declaring a state of emergency, Ohio can now access federal funding to help with the unplanned costs to repair the highways damaged by heavy rain and

flooding,” said Governor DeWine.

“From what I understand, this funding can only be used on Federal Aid Eligible routes.

This means that roads that are classified as Rural Major Collector and above qualify. Carroll County did not have any damage to our Federal Aid eligible roads. Our damage seems to only have occurred on a few of the non-federal aid eligible routes,” stated County Engineer Brian Wise.

Wise continued to say that he does not think any of the township roads will qualify for the available funding either. He does think the state will have a few

roads that qualify for the emergency funding.

Wise is still hopeful that the county may qualify for some of the funding.

Other Ohio counties that are included in this emergency declaration by the Governor are: Adams, Athens, Belmont, Brown, Butler, Carroll, Clermont, Clinton, Columbiana, Coshocton, Gallia, Greene, Guernsey, Hamilton, Harrison, Highland, Hocking, Holmes, Jackson, Jefferson, Knox, Lawrence, Licking, Meigs, Monroe, Morgan, Muskingum, Noble, Perry, Pike, Preble, Ross, Scioto, Tuscarawas, Vinton, Warren and Washington.

Edison BOE approves contracts for projects Expansion and renovation projects are in the works within the Edison Local School District after contracts were approved during the March 21 regular school board session.

Board members met at Edison High School where they approved a deal to create an estimated $500,000 track on the campus and renovate the auditorium, plus they said a scope of work is eyed for improvements at Stanton and John Gregg elementary schools.

Supt. Bill Beattie said the high school projects should be underway later this spring and completed by the start of the next school year, but the ultimate goal is to provide sports and activities at one site. In February, the board hired MS Consultants of Youngstown to establish a program design for future facilities at the high school in order to provide sporting and other events in a more centralized location.

Currently, the baseball and softball fields are located near Jefferson State Lake and athletes also hold track practice and meets plus junior high basketball practice at Stanton.

“Our goal is to get all of the athletic facilities onto the Edison campus and this is the first step,” Beattie said.

For now, the focus is on forming a track on the campus and renovating the auditorium, and officials inked deals with The Vasco Group of Massillon and LM Construction of St. Clairsville for those respective projects. Beattie said the track plan could begin around late May with a completion date of July 31.

“Our next step is to get core samples of the soccer field to

make sure it is solid so we can build on it. We will then put in water and electrical lines,” he explained.

To help offset the costs, the board established a Capital Projects Fund and transferred $750,000 from the general fund into the account. Becky Princehorn, an attorney with the district’s legal firm of Brickler and Eckler of Columbus, guided them through the process.

Beattie said the amount covers the price of the track with some extra buffer to cover incurred costs, but the funding could be used for any building project. He added that work should start June 3 on the auditorium, which will receive new drywall, a coat of paint and a new grid and ceiling tiles.

Meanwhile, an additional contract was approved with MS Consultants for criterion engineer services to develop the scope of work for renovations at the elementary buildings.

Beattie said the schools would be outfitted with new HVAC units, windows and doors.

“We want to get the process started early to get the scope of work under way,” he noted, saying those improvements could begin in the spring of 2020.

In other matters the Board: - Approved resignations from bus driver Mark Thomas, which was effective March 4, and school nurse Mary Trimmer that is effective at the end of the school year; - Approved non-certified employment contracts for bus drivers Andrea Russell, Crystal Baker and Thomas Byers, all continuing, and Terry Gooch,

CASES from PG. 1 find comfort from the suitcases and blankets. They may want a place to carry a stuffed animal, pajamas or school supplies that will ease the transition into a foster home. The Carroll County Job and Family Services does great work in our community, and these suitcases will help the children by giving them a sense of pride and feeling of ownership.”

Kate Offenberger, director of the Carroll County Job and Family Services, added: “We are so appreciative of the support from the AT&T Pioneers and Congressman Johnson for the suitcases for our foster children. It is difficult for children to leave their families to go to a foster home until they can safely return home. Our foster parents and staff work hard to provide the necessary supports to families and children in our community. Anyone that has an interest in becoming a foster parent for Carroll County children should contact the agency as there is a great need for additional foster parents so that our children can remain in our communities.”

Offenberger and her staff, most of whom had been there for less than two years, spent an hour talking to Johnson about what they do and the difficulties they face.

Offenberger noted that when dealing with multi-system children, the staff cannot find foster homes for the children. She explained that Carroll County relies heavily on kin to provide care.

Cheri Miller, also with the Carroll County Jobs and Family Services, pointed out the government mandates the staff try to unify the family, but sometimes that is not in the best interest of the child.

Johnson pointed out that he grew up with an alcoholic father and understands some of the trauma the children are going through.

“What you do for the kids, it is appreciated,” Johnson told the JFS staff. “We are blessed to

have guys like you looking after these children.”

“I don’t want to call you a stopgap, but that it somewhat what you are. You give the children some semblance of normalcy during their formative years. It is important the children have a healthy place to grow up, feel valued, loved and nurtured.”

Johnson and AT&T representatives Kristan and BJ Smith spent an hour with the staff and learning about their responsibilities.

Guest Column - Finding Your Ancestors

By NANCY SCHAAR FPS Correspondent, Historian & Professional Genealogist

People have been asking questions about doing genealogical research in other counties and other states. I wish there was one answer but there isn’t. It varies by each county and by each state.

Probate departments will contain births, deaths, marriages, wills, estate records, and more.

The Recorder’s office will contain deeds, mortgages, and more. The Auditor’s office will contain tax records and more.

When you go to another county courthouse to research, first thing Monday morning isn’t usually a great time. Late Friday afternoon isn’t the best time either. You have to remember the court clerks and office staff are usually swamped trying to keep with the work load of their departments.

Some staff members are very kind, friendly and helpful to a genealogist. To some, we are just nasty little pests.

When you go to a new county, find out what the rules are for researching in their office. Some counties let you use the indexes and find the records on your own. Some counties do not want you touching anything.

Many years ago when I first started going to other counties, there was a volunteer lady that had library duty that day at her genealogical society’s library. I wanted to look at census on microfilm to find an ancestor that had missed getting in an index.

This was before Ancestry.

This volunteer would not let me touch the microfilm rolls or the microfilm reader. She put the roll of film on the reader.

Then she sat very close to me, as in very close, and slowly turned the little handle on the reader.

That was a very long, frustrating day. She sure turned it slow.

When they insist on getting it for you, it makes researching difficult. While you are going through the names in the index, you might spot a spelling variation that could be your family. The court clerk isn’t going to look for variances like you would.

I have traveled to 20 states and hundreds of counties doing genealogical research not only for my own family lines but also for clients. 98% of the time we were treated kindly. There have been exceptions, but they were rare.

One of the worst was Belmont County. The rules changed every time you went into the probate office. At times I was told look at what you want, if you need photocopies, let us know.

At other times, I was told to let them handle the records.

Several years ago, the last three times I had been there for research, the clerk had said get what you want, let me know if you need a copy. When I went in on my next visit, I found the marriage book I needed, found the document I needed, and carried the large court docket book over to the clerk that usually made the copies.

My big mistake was holding the book by the sides and I had my thumbs inside the book marking the page I needed.

The clerk grabbed, jerked, pulled the court docket out of my hands and began yelling at me that I was not allowed to handle court records. She grudgingly made the photocopies I needed. The rules had changed again.

As I soon discovered at the local emergency room, the rough and tumble clerk had broken my thumb. Yes. She broke my bones. Bless her heart!

Always double check the rules.

Find out what is allowed and not allowed. Be prepared to use only pencils if you are writing down names and pages from indexes to check. Pencil marks can at least be erased.

Never place the tablet or paper you are writing on actually on the court docket book. It could bleed through and damage the court record permanently. Yes, even a pencil point can press hard enough to imprint the page underneath. Learn to always set your writing instrument and paper beside the docket you are looking at.

When you do need photocopies, ask the clerk very nicely with a smile. Write down the docket book number, the page and the names you are wanting photocopied. The clerk’s job was just made a bit easier and you won’t be as much of a nuisance.

When I ask for photocopies, I give the clerk the docket book, with my list of page numbers and names clearly printed on paper. But I always include the phrase, “When you have time could you please………”

Kindness and understanding go a long way in the world of genealogy. Every time I have went to Belmont County I hope to learn that one particular clerk has retired. Good news! About five years ago she did retire! My other thumb is safe, for now.

Letter to the Editor Letter to the Editor: “O beautiful for spacious skies for amber waves of grain.”

Most of us know the words of this beautiful song that describes the many virtues of our great country.

Unfortunately, there is a group of people that are coming against so many of the principals and values this country has lived by for many years.

Such as love of God, not killing babies, freedom of speech for everyone, having secure borders, electoral college and many more.

Why should those who are not of this country be allowed to vote here? Or be given medical help, or food that should be given to our people? We cannot take care of everyone, our people must come first!

Also our country cannot survive as a socialist country! Those who are trying to push this idea and many other liberal ideologies must not be allowed to change our dear and precious country.

This is the greatest country on earth and if we give in and do as this group wants we will not survive as a country!

Why can’t this country remain as the founders intended and go by the constitution as our forefathers intended.

So we can stay great, a nation that has enjoyed the freedoms so many dear men and women have fought and died for.

America, we must love her, not become a socialist country!

Lest We Forget

By CAPT. CHARLES PEARSON

U.S. Marine Corps, ret.

During October of 1918, the battle of the Meuse-Argonne Forest was one of the fiercest battles of World War I. It was a “do or die” fight for the Germans and they were not about to give up. As the Americans, attacked, Colonel Whittlesey’s battalion of the 77th Division was unable to see that the line was not keeping up to his front, because of the dense thickets of the forest. They had moved so far forward of the line that the Germans slipped in behind them, surrounding them completely.

Whittlesey’s men had gone in with two days of rations. They had eaten one day’s rations before they knew that the Germans had them in a siege. They were now in a deeply wooded ravine with no way out. They managed to send one message to the rear as to their predicament and their position and then silence. Airplanes were sent to drop them supplies and food, but missed their target with the Germans receiving all of their food and supplies.

Now it looked like starve or surrender. The Germans sent a message to Col. Whittlesey that they would be wise to surrender. This bored Whittlesey and he refused to answer.

Before Whittlesey went to training camp, he had no military experience, but up in his New England hills they had a way of “waiting ‘em out.” So he set up defenses all around and proceeded to “wait ‘em out.”

His doughboys had to learn how to diet and ration out their ammunition. They waited for their fellow Americans to complete their battles and come to their rescue.

The veteran Second Division was on their way from St. Mihiel to Mont Blanc and then on to the Meuse-Argonne.

It had been deloused and had

some rest and good eats to put a little flesh on their bones. The wounded were back in ranks and the gaps of the dead were filled with recruits. They were fresh and raring to go.

A regiment of the 82nd on the other side of the forest was wading and swimming across the river Aire in the middle of the night. They used the cover of darkness because the Germans had the river zeroed in with their machine guns and would have riddled them in daylight.

The temperature of the water was 50; and even when it was not raining, the air was too moist for clothes to dry properly.

The Pennsylvanians of the 28th were moving like mountain goats on the mountain side of the valley of the Aire river.

Crawling through thickets and over rocks of steep slopes, the 28th moved toward the Germans in the forest.

At last, foot by foot, these military forces acting like pincers, broke though on both sides and the lost battalion was relieved.

Whittlesey went in with 550 officers and men and came out with 194.

We are all brave in fair weather with stomaches full after a bath and shave and the crowds cheering in the first flush of charge.

But - when the map becomes unintelligible and soldiers get separated from one another, and are under fire for days on end lying in gas-saturated foxholes like being shut up in a foodless refrigerator with a skunk and a clawing wildcat - the will may grow weak. The will of Whittlesey’s battalion never waned as they “waited ‘em out.”

Our men and women in our armed forces have put up with these types of situations throughout history and their will never wanted. They have always continued to push forward to accomplish the task before them. Please keep them in your daily prayers.

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

John Gregg Elementary fourth-graders (from left) Haley Paice, Abby Carpenter and Madelyn Board sharpened their skills in preparation for the annual Jump Rope for Heart fundraiser to benefit the American Heart Association.

John Gregg hosts Jump Rope for Heart John Gregg Elementary students moved for a cause as the school hosted its annual Jump Rope for Heart fundraiser.

Students collected money from friends and family and took part in a special activity in the gym on March 22. Physical education teacher Jim Marcus said second- through sixth-graders will participate throughout the day in jump rope contests and a $5,000 goal has been set to benefit the American Heart Association.

“We always try for $5,000 and last year we raised about $5,600,” he said. “Kids are collecting money and bring it in the day of the jump. There are three contests: a 30-second

speed jump, an endurance jump and the long rope. There will be winners in each grade and there will be top three placers for boys and girls in the short rope and the top three teams in the long rope.”

Former teacher Dr. Connie Crawford, who started the event nearly 40 years ago at the school, was set to return again this year and Marcus said school PTO members were also assist by collecting and counting money, keeping track of the contests and presenting ribbons to winners. John Gregg has been supportive by raising thousands of dollars each year to help the AHA fight childhood obesity, heart disease and

stroke through education and life-saving research. The school has been recognized by AHA and has garnered as much as $7,000 in the past.

Students receive prizes from the AHA based on their donation levels while the pupil who collects the most money also receives a reward.

However, Marcus said the greatest reward for them was simply to help others.

“I think they really like it.

We get a really good percentage of ones who participate,” he added. “They bring $5 to participate and we have about 200 students involved during scheduled times for one hour that day.”

Brammer, King chosen as CHS February Students of Month Selected as Students of the Month for February at Carrollton High School are Chyenne Brammer and Connor King, both seniors.

Daughter of Christina Brammer of Carrollton, Chyenne is a member of the Art Club, French Club and National Honor Society at Carrollton High School.

Chyenne has two sisters, Chandra, who is a freshman at CHS and Jacquelyn, a 4th grader. She also has a brother, Cauy, a 9th grader.

One of her special hobbies is designing tattoos for people. “I have a passion for drawing and it developed into tattoo designing. I have designed a couple for myself, a co-worker of my Mom’s, family members and some friends.

Chyenne has been accepted for admission to the University of Mount Union where she plans to attend this fall.

She plans to major in physics and minor in astronomy so she can get an astrophysics degree.

After graduation from college, she plans to work for NASA. When asked what teacher, coach, family member or special friend has influenced her and why, Chyenne replied: My youth group teacher, Jonathan Naylor,

has influenced me the most because he has taught me to be a better person to myself and others.

In offering advice for success in life, Chyenne said: Stop caring about what others think and do because once you go from there, success comes hand in hand.

When asked what teacher, coach, family member or special friend has influenced him and why, Connor said: My parents have taught me the value of hard work and that has been central to my academic and athletic careers.

In offering advice for success in life, he said: Work hard until you are successful, and then work harder.

Sandy Valley BOE hears reports Several reports were given at the March 18 meeting of the Sandy Valley Board of Education.

Good news was included in the Treasurer’s report given by Sandy Valley Treasurer Morgan Kail, who told the Board the Sandy Valley School District has received the Tuscarawas County tax settlement of over $400,000 (a net increase) from the Rover Pipeline from Tuscarawas county.

“From what we can gather, the pipeline will be on a depreciation schedule, which will decrease our tax revenue from this property each year,” Kail said.

Elementary School Principal Victor Johnson noted the elementary school had a packed house at the Preschool Family Night March 12.

“The standing room crowd of parents, grandparents and loved ones were entertained by the preschoolers who sang songs

and then had a gallery showing off their 2018-19 art work.

High School Principal Matt Whitted reported Sandy Valley had an excellent showing at the Region 13 Destination Imagination tournament. He said the state tournament will be held March 30 at Beaver Local schools.

Commenting on the basketball update, Whitted said it was an amazing ride and he is absolutely proud of our kids.

The night high school students wait all year for is here and for Buckeye Career Center Graphic Arts students, the evening is even more special.

Graphic Arts students are responsible for designing and creating the larger-than-life decorations each year that fill the BCC cafeteria for the annual Buckeye prom, with assistance from other BCC students and labs, as well.

This year’s theme for the April 6 event is “Las Vegas Pair-A-Dice” and students have been using computer programs like InDesign and PhotoShop to layout props, which are then printed and constructed in-house.

Lacey Jahle and Samantha

Crank are BCC Graphic Arts juniors from Carrollton. Both have helped create 500 paper poker chips to represent the Las Vegas theme. “ I did a lot of cutting of the large poker chips and the playing cards,” said Jahle.

“The poker chips were hard because we had to hand cut them into perfect circles,” she added.

Crank has enjoyed learning new techniques and is excited to see her class’ hard work come to life. “I enjoyed getting to learn how to cut the chips and also learning new things from our lab teacher. She has taught us how to cut properly and use the correct tools. I cant wait to see all the decorations up and alive,”

Crank said.

The public is invited to view the prom set-up and decorations Saturday, April 6, from 6:307:10 p.m. during the walk-in period. Promenade will start at 7:15 with prom running from 8-11 p.m. at Buckeye Career Center. Students must have an approved permission slip and ticket to enter.

Sherry’s Book Corner Hi kids! Are you ready for some laughs? You’d better be because this book made me laugh almost through the whole story!

I don’t know about you, but I do love to laugh.

You know, by myself, with my family, with my friends... or maybe with a stranger, who knows.

I think we would all be happier if we laughed more! Oh I know, there is a time and place for everything, but if we can laugh, let’s do it!

The writer of this story was born in England in 1970. Her husband is an historian and they have two daughters, Lily and Sasha. Her husband is also a bestselling writer.

They worked on this book together. You can learn more about her at SantaMontefiore. co.uk.

Come meet Shylo. He is a quiet bunny who wants to live the life of adventure! Soon he becomes part of a band of elite rabbits dedicated to safeguarding the royal family of England. Soon Shylo learns anything in the world is possible. With the help of his new friends, he overcomes bullying and gains self-confidence.

Until next time, Laugh, laugh, laugh, the world

Carroll County Daffodil Society to host exhibit at Bluebird Farm Park The Carroll County Daffodil Society is hosting a Daffodil Exhibit at Carroll County Park District’s Bluebird Farm Park on Saturday, April 27, from 11 a.m. - 3 p.m.

The park district joined forces with the American Daffodil Society to form the county chapter to promote Carroll County which is the State of Ohio’s Daffodil County. The county Commissioners have proclaimed April as the Daffodil Month.

The idea to create more awareness was the brain child of several people. Betty Mills has worked with soil and water for years passing out Daffodils at the County Fair. Elaine Painting has also provided 1,000’s of Daffodils through the 5 and 10 as well as through The Ashton Foundation. Jen Greco has worked with Daffodils for years as well. Laura Alexander met Betty Mills and Elaine Painting to discuss expanding the effort. Laura is a Master Gardener and was looking for a good project to increase awareness about Daffodils in the county.

“Carroll County has a wealth of blooming talent and it is natural that the park district helps with this initiative,” said Dale Alexander, Executive Director of Carroll County Park District. The Carroll Soil and Water Conservation District

has become the first affiliate member of the Society. “We are pleased that the Conservation District is a partner. They actually have been promoting Daffodils for years.” Our effort is primarily to bring everyone together who appreciates Daffodils in the County, “he continued.

The plan is to have bulbs distributed throughout Carroll County and make the Bluebird the hub with 1,000’s of Daffodils blooming in March and April. Petitti’s Garden Center in North Canton is providing unsold Daffodils for the Society to dry and prepare for a fall bulb planting. Elaine Painting has also stated her support in helping the fall planting.

The exhibit to be held on April 27 will be fun and educational.

A painting class will take place.

The Park District and the Society will be distributing Daffodil pictures to elementary schools for children to color and show at the exhibit. A Daffodil contest is scheduled as well.

If you wish to join the Carroll County Daffodil Society, or have Daffodils and wish to get into the exhibit you can contact Carroll County Park District at 330-627-8046. Watch for flyers on www.ccparkdistrict.org or Face Book … Carroll County Park District / Bluebird Farm Park.

Pastor’s Pen

During my teens, my dad and I had an unusual relationship. It was argumentative and loving at the same time.

This was during the 1960’s when there was a great deal of social unrest. The world was changing rapidly. From my dad’s perspective the changes were coming too fast. From my perspective the changes were too slow.

When we would start to discuss the issues, loud arguments ensued. However, when dad and I were finished arguing, it was quickly forgotten. We often hugged or maybe sat down to listen to an Indians game. It was just the way we debated issues.

Mom, on the other hand, couldn’t let go. She would worry about our fights. Even though my dad and I never had any hard feelings, we should have tried harder to respect my mom and learn how to quit yelling.

And Mom should have paid more attention to the words of Jesus in Luke, “Can any of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?”

A few years later when I decided to become a minister and began to study the scriptures carefully, I was fascinated by Jesus declaring that his followers were called to be the “light of the world.” In Matthew he declared, “Let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven.”

To use my dad and I as an example, if we had been in public yelling at each other, we certainly would not have been a shining light.

We shouldn’t speak without thinking of the consequences of our words or how we say them. We should not exclude others because of apparent differences, but we should seek to include them in order to understand the differences.

When Jesus was asked which commandment was the greatest he replied, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the greatest and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”

Pastor Jim Painting

Library’s mystery picture contest has photo finish It has been a long, hard fought battle – Girls versus Boys - in the Carroll County District LIbrary’s “Fill the Mystery Picture” contest.

The library began this contest last year, requiring kids to check out books and earn stickers to put on its “Mystery Picture.”

Each puzzle picture required more than 3,900 stickers to complete.

It took about three and a half months to complete, but on Thursday, March 7, the last piece was filled in on the Girls’ chart at about 1:25 and the last piece on the Boys’ chart filled in at 2:35. So very close!

It was very exciting, early on, trying to guess what each picture would be. Later, the library staff just watched as it slowly came into focus and tried to figure out where to place the pieces to do the most good. The Girls’ Unicorn picture became clear pretty quickly, but the Boys’ Tiger picture was harder to figure out.

The winning team will win candy bars, but because the puzzles were finished on the same day, all the kids will win candy. Almost a “photo finish”.

Congratulations to all the kids who participated for their great job reading.

Conotton Valley BOE tours CNB supports FFA Camp high school’s greenhouse Muskingum with donation Consumers National Bank announced that it has earned a “leaf ” on the Ohio FFA Camp Muskingum donor tree with its recent donation to the camp.

“Consumers National Bank is proud to support Ohio FFA Camp Muskingum’s mission to make a positive difference in the lives of students by developing their potential for premier leadership, personal growth and career success through agricultural education,” said Ralph J. Lober, president and CEO of Consumers National Bank.

“As an independent community bank serving agriculture clients throughout our markets, we appreciate the importance of having a high-quality facility like Camp Muskingum in our area. The Camp’s ‘Nature’s Classroom’ program provides education in an outdoor setting emphasizing community awareness and personal development through cooperative learning and positive experiences. Students from across our 15 markets attend educational programs at Camp Muskingum which is consistent with Consumers National Bank’s com-

By JACQUIE HUMPHREY

FPS Correspondent At the March meeting of the Conotton Valley Board of Education, Supt. Todd Herman reported he had enlisted high school/advanced Science teacher Tom Burton to give those who were interested a tour of the newly constructed greenhouse.

Burton first took the group to his classroom, where he explained the current activities of the horticulture class and demonstrated the procedure for growing hydroponic plants.

Students are also involved in growing clippings of Okinawan spinach, provided by Burton, who explains that the young leaves are great for salads, as well as stir frying when they become larger. Burton says that Gynura crepioides, the technical name for Okinawan spinach, also makes a great house plant.

Burton, who has been gardening with his wife for over 30 years, is teaching his students how to become more self-sufficient through gardening, while learning how to eat a healthier diet.

Burton is very excited to share his knowledge and experience with students that he said have told him are eager to come to his classes. He also shares his favorite recipes for homemade salad dressings with his class, further encouraging healthier eating and self-sufficiency.

Burton next led the group to his pride and joy, the newly constructed green house that was just completed at the beginning of March, at the approxi-

mate cost of $15,000. Here hydroponic plants, micro greens and table herbs are abundant.

Burton explained the workings of the green house and advised that the table herbs will be potted and available for sale at the April 18 Science Fair. Supt.

Herman says “we are fortunate that Mr. Burton has a passion for homesteading. The students are learning practical applications that will serve them throughout their life. This is truly why teachers teach!”, he added.

mitment to make a difference in our communities,” said Lober.

“What a blessing to have a local bank that lives and works within the communities that it serves,” said Todd Davis, Director of Ohio FFA Camp

Muskingum. “Being a customer of Consumers National Bank through its loan to FFA Camp Muskingum, it is reassuring having a bank so committed to their mission of serving their customers,” said Davis.

Farm Credit to hand deliver Patronage payouts Farm Credit Mid-America, which has a local office in Alliance, is returning $146 million to eligible customers as part of its Patronage program, and under this year’s plan, customers in Ohio will share in more than $40 million of that payout.

“Patronage not only demonstrates the value of belonging to a cooperative – our customers also are our owners – but it has direct and positive benefit for every eligible farmer and agricul-

tural business customer/owner of Farm Credit Mid-America,” said Evan Hahn, regional vice president agricultural lending, Alliance.

With this year’s Patronage payout, FCMA will have returned $262 million to customer/owners over the last three years. Patronage is not a guarantee – the association’s board annually has to approve the program, and not all customers will receive a check. Of the association’s

$23-billion portfolio, $11.4 billion is Patronage eligible.

“We work hard to do our best for our farmers,” said Bill Johnson, Farm Credit Mid-America president and Chief Executive Officer. “To help them make their operations as successful as can be. Few lenders offer this type of advantage.”

Local office leaders across the four-state territory will deliver Patronage checks by hand – 36,000 total checks that exceed

$20,000 – with the remaining arriving by mail the week of March 25-29. The average check amount is about $3,000, and there are 1,000 checks that are greater than $20,000.

The amount each eligible customer will receive is proportionate to the transaction level with FCMA during 2018. Patronage is not funded by rate increases and rates are not increased to pay Patronage. Interest rates change daily and are market driven.

CHS girls track team returns Division I state champion, qualifier

By JORDAN MILLER

CARROLLTON – From middle school head coach, to varsity head coach; Lindsay Traver will be taking on a new role in 2019.

Traver takes over a Division I team with a plethora of returning athletes and experience.

The Lady Warriors return the 2018 Division I Shot Put State Champion Alivia Bentley to the ring this season.

She also finished runner-up in the discus throw last year.

Fellow senior Micah Donley returns to the track for the Lady Warriors, also a state qualifier in the 400 and 200.

Other returning lettermen for Carrollton include: seniors – Cindy Lewis, Mac Tubaugh, Layna Pasiuk, Bri Burkhart, Makayla Bolanz and Bella Mossor. Juniors – Amanda Bentley, Amanda Byler, Ali Menarcheck, Jayle Solomon and Jillian Rinkes.

Sophomores – Ella Little, Tessa Bodo, Aliyah Jenkins, Cayden Trussell and Mary Keane.

“Our program has a range of

accomplished, experienced athletes and young inexperienced athletes,” Traver said. “Our focus for returning and new athletes is daily progression in individual events and team dynamic.”

Coach Traver says that she looks forward to the experienced athletes leading the young ones.

“We look forward to watching our returning athletes motivate our new athletes to continually develop as a member of the CHS track team,” she said. “We have the opportunity to face some of the best competition within our league through the invitational we are attending and we look forward to our athletes’ performance in these competitions.”

Traver says the top newcomers for the Lady Warriors include freshmen Alli Stackhouse, Josie Burgett, Elizabeth Potts, Maya Keyser, Camryn Barker and Chandra Brammer; along with sophomore Emma Bodo.

The Lady Warriors track team is set to be in action March 30 at Fairless High School, competing in the Falcon Invitational. Events are scheduled to begin at 9:30 a.m.

Carrollton’s “best starter on both school record sprint relays”; Flanagan was the program’s “best long jumper in school history”; and Lampe was 2018 best distance runner.

The Warriors return senior Calob Dalton, a three-time state placer in the 4x1 and 200. Dalton holds the school records in both the 100 (11.18) and 200 (22.65).

Carrollton senior Jace Miles returns to the ring for the Warriors, winning an NBC title last season in shotput and placed at districts in the event.

Jon Russell, a Carrollton junior, will be one of the Warriors’ top distance runners in 2019. Russell was a regional qualifier in the 1600 last year and qualified for state in cross country in the fall of 2018. Carrollton junior Alex Carrothers and senior Evan Days finished last season as regional placers in the 4x8.

Others returning to the track are: Mason Henry, Connor Rutledge, Andrew Gotschall, Jett Russell and Justin Naylor.

In the last four years, the Carrollton track program has had three state champions, 10 state runner-ups, 45 All-Ohio honors, 41 school records broken and established. They’ve also accumulated four district team championships, three regional

championships and one state runnerup with 60 state qualifiers.

“That senior class (of 2018) leaves as the most successful group of athletes in school history,” Aukerman said.

The Warriors will welcome newcomers Drue Moore, Brady Benner, Adam Chaney, Oriol Farress, Talen Timberlake, Nick Bryan, Austin Colletti, Domanick Speelman, David Woolever and Cauy Brammer this season.

“We have a young group but are led by some great individual leaders,” Coach Aukerman said. “Our focus will be on daily progression and development, and the potential to compete at the highest of levels at the end of the year is there.”

Aukerman says this season will rely on the experienced athletes.

“Our season will be dictated by how far our leaders are willing to take us with the potential and vision to win multiple individual and team titles during the championship season,” he said. “We look to build on the standard of excellence our program has been built on.”

The Warriors track team will be in action Saturday, March 30 at Fairless High School, competing in the Falcon Invitational. Events are slated to begin at 9:30 a.m.

CARROLLTON – Shane Ball is set to take over an experienced group of Carrollton softball players this season.

Ball will field a team including eight returning letter winners who finished last season 10-9: seniors - Zoe Drake, third base, second team NBC and first team Eastern District; Erinn Leggett, centerfield; Diana Luyster, outfield; Rickee Stidom, second base and second team NBC honorable mention; Faith Loy, outfield; and Madison Keyser, catcher. Juniors – Mehgan Harsh, first base; and Skylar Vipperman, first base.

“We have a wide vision towards the upcoming season,” Coach Ball said.

“We are creating an environment that the girls are buying into. This group of girls are insanely great.”

The Lady Warriors lost four key players to graduation last spring: Shelbee Stidom, a four-year letterman; Kira Anderson and Jazzlyn Pidgeon, both three-year lettermen; and Cassidy Bajornas, a one-year letterman.

Five new Lady Warriors will see varsity action in the 2019 season: freshmen - Jaden Pidgeon, Makayla Ball and Aleigha Higgins; and sophomores - Anissa Flanagan and Ashlee Vipperman.

Ball says the team’s mental toughness will lead them to success this season.

“With their mental toughness, respect, world class attitudes and understanding of humility, they get that it’s not about being good but being great,” he said.

The Lady Warriors will be in action Saturday, March 30 at home against Garaway. First pitch is at noon.

New baseball coach says there’s room for improvement in 2019

Returning lettermen for the Carrollton baseball team include (from left): Chris Gromley, Nick Leonard, Teagin Mohn, Jimmy Birong and Caden Buxton.

CARROLLTON – The Carrollton Warriors baseball team enters the 2019 spring season under the direction of first-year head coach Brian Connelly.

Connelly started his coaching career in 1997, even winning a state title with Toronto Legion in 1999. He’s been a long-time assistant coach with the Toronto Red Knights.

He is taking over a Carrollton Warriors squad who is coming off a 616 season, including 3-9 in conference action.

Carrollton returns seven lettermen to the diamond in 2019: Caden Buxton, infield/pitcher; Teagin Mohn, catcher/outfield/pitcher; Jimmy Birong, infield; Nick Leonard, pitcher/utility; Trevor Boggess, utility; Chris Gromley, utility; and Jared Barkan.

Connelly says he’s excited to take over a group of players who saw some playing time last season.

“Knowing some players earned valuable experience,” he said. “I can’t pin point only one player (who is a newcomer). If we want to be successful, it is going to take all of us as players and coaches.”

When asked about the team’s strength entering the season, Connelly wanted to slow down on answering.

“Ask me that in May,” he said. “We’ll see if we did our jobs and are heading in the right direction.”

Connelly says there’s room for improvement in every aspect of the Warriors’ game.

“We will do the little things that win games,” he said. “We will compete.”

Connelly says everyone in the league has a shot at winning the EBC championship, but says it’s Carrollton’s turn to start turning the tide.

“We haven’t won a league title in baseball for 19 years,” he said. “This group needs to start changing that.”

The Warriors will be in action Friday, March 29 at home against Canton McKinley. First pitch is scheduled for 5 p.m.

Malvern enters 2019 season with young, inexperienced baseball team

By CHRIS MODRANSKI

Sports Writer

FPS Photo | Kimberly Lewis

The Malvern baseball team will rely on the experience of just two returning seniors and one junior this year.

The Hornets return seven players in total from last year’s team that posted an overall record of 5-18 and finished in last place in the Inter-Valley Conference (IVC) with a record of 111.

“We have kids that know and love the game of baseball. They are very coachable” said experienced head coach Dennis Tucci.

Tucci is in his fifth stint as the baseball coach at Malvern. He last coached on the diamond during the 2014 season.

He brings 15 years’ experience as the head baseball coach with an overall record of 187-177. Tucci will be assisted this season by Jason Powers.

The Hornets will continue to look at

improving their pitching this year.

“We have a lot of work to do concerning pitching. We have very little pitching experience” said Tucci.

Returning to the diamond for the Hornets are seniors Chase Meyer (3B/OF) and Alex Skinner (C/1B).

Junior Kenneth Martin will fill in at second base and short stop while sophomore’s Derk Hutchinson (P/SS), Max Earl (OF/1B), Trent Severs (OF/2B) and Payton Davis (C/3B) will see serious playing time.

New to the team this year include promising freshmen Tristan Phillips (2B/SS), Michael Minor (1B/P) Conner Lefevre (C/OF) and Johnny Walker (2B/OF).

Who’s going to be the toughest matchup in the IVC this year?

“Sandy Valley, they’re loaded” said Tucci.

The Hornets got their season started this past Monday against Strasburg.

Lady Hornets to rely on senior leadership

By CHRIS MODRANSKI

Sports Writer

The Malvern Hornets will look to their seniors for leadership as they enter the 2019 softball season.

The Lady Hornets return eight letter winners from last year’s team that went 4-17 overall and 1-11 in the InterValley Conference (IVC).

“We will rely on the strength of returning pitching and senior leadership” said head coach Jim Townsend, who is entering his 19th season leading the Hornet softball

team.

The Hornets will see some very familiar faces as well as some newcomers on the diamond this season. “We are still trying to find the right fit and position for our players.

We have a couple of scrimmages scheduled to work it out” said Townsend.

Returning to lead this year’s Lady Hornets are seniors Danielle Casler (third base), Haili Kendall (outfield) and Kamm Marinucci (first base).

Juniors include Hope Whaley (infielder), Olivia Daniels (infielder)

and Madison Lewis (outfielder).

Experienced sophomores are Alaina Paulette (outfielder) and Alana Daniels (pitcher).

Newcomer Madison Hole will be taking over the catching duties and brings travel ball experience.

The Hornets will welcome back Kamm Marnucci who had to miss last season due to an injury.

What about the IVC? “Strasburg, Sandy Valley and East Canton are returning experienced teams and it will be a battle for the league title” said Townsend.

The Malvern Hornets boys track team will be led this season by their eight returning letterman and first year head coach Brett Lee. Malvern finished 13th last season in the Inter-Valley Conference (IVC) and will be looking to improve on that showing.

“Our team is young but fast. There will be a lot of young kids running on our relay teams. Our youth is our strength as a team and gives us a chance to have a strong showing in the league” said Lee. Returning to the track and field for the Hornets will be juniors Kevin Bibby (sprints), Andrew Norton (sprints), Jacob Cox (sprints), Rick Shundry (weights) and Davair Williams (sprints & field events).

Returning sophomores include Kameron Huffman (sprints), Adam Moser (sprints & field events) and Tommy Thompson (distance).

The Hornets will be looking for production from newcomers Zack Untch, Landyn Huffman, KJ Thomas, Dylan Mowery, Johnny Walker and Sam Foster.

The Hornets will be led by first year track coach Brett Lee who is hoping Dylan Mowery, senior thrower, who was not able to participate last season due to an injury but has worked hard in the off season, will carry the team in the weights.”

Lee continued by saying that Adam Moser had a strong finish last year in the sprints and field events and hopes it will carry over to this season.

The Hornets opened their season at the Claymont Invitational this past Saturday.

Lady Hornets return state champion

By CHRIS MODRANSKI

Sports Writer

The Malvern High School girls track team will look to improve their third place finish in the Inter-Valley Conference (IVC) from last season.

The Lady Hornets will have a big hole to fill since losing Kelsi Hulit to graduation. Hulit holds school records for discus, shot put and long jump. Hulit was a state runner-up in discus and finished fifth in the shot put last season.

“We have many returning letter winners from our team that placed third overall at the

state and league meet and were district champions. State champion Zoe Moser is a junior and we return the members of our 4X100 team that placed ninth at state last year” said head coach Jeremy Maher.

Returning letter winners for the Lady Hornets include senior Gabby Lawrence; juniors Zoe Moser, Lauren Foster, Laura Rodgers, Vanessa Stanbro, Kara Lawrence, Makayla Bowe, Maggie Champer and Hope Whaley; and sophomores Paige Peshina, Savanha Cramer and Raine Coblentz.

“The girls on this team are hardworking and motivated.

They look forward to showing that they are ready to compete at a high level and show they are not satisfied with being district champions last year” said Maher.

Promising newcomers include Veronica Maxian, Cailin Wade, Chelsea Weekly, Jayla Ray, Kaitly Mayle, Arianna Anderson, Natalie Cox, Emma Jones, Peyton Smith, Alowyshes Grove, Lanie Bower, Jillian Jacko and Adrianna Paulette.

“We will greatly miss Kelsie Hulit and will look to having other athletes step up and lead the team” said Maher.

Five players return to the diamond for the Minerva Lions baseball team

By JORDAN MILLER

Sports Editor

MINERVA – The Minerva Lions baseball team will be led by a new coach this season, after finishing 11-10 last year, and 6-8 in conference action.

Greg Travis will lead the Lions baseball program in 2019.

Five players return to the field for the Lions, including four seniors: Alex Kimble, Dom Slentz, Evan Hertel and Charlie Bolanz. Junior Cole Maley also returns to the diamond for the Lions.

Travis says the team has a lot of depth on the mound with the addition of a few young guys.

“Overall our lineup will be solid throughout since our guys are doing a great job of adjusting their approach at the player and hitting situationally,” Travis said.

The Lions will hit the field with a lack of experience this year.

“Overall lack of experience at the varsity level from our youth core,” said Travis. “We’re asking a lot from them but I feel they’re up for the challenge.”

Minerva will welcome a slew of newcomers to the diamond: freshman

Nick Lautzenheiser; sophomores Lucas Kimble, Kaden Walker, Evan Barnes, Logan Williams and Shea Common; and seniors Cam Givens and Mike Hanley.

“We have a solid experienced core returning and are adding a few new young guys,” Coach Travis said. “I think with the depth we have across the field, we will compete in the EBC.” He says the Lions will rely on the leadership and experience of their upperclassmen.

“One thing that is really going to help us is our seniors’ leadership from Slentz, Hertel, Bolanz, Hanley, Kimble and Givens,” he said. “Everyone will be solid throughout the league. They all seem to be returning key pieces from last year. Early season match ups are going to be key as teams are finally getting outside.”

Travis says the Lions need to get after it early in the season.

“Winning those early games can really impact things late in the season,” he added.

The Lions will be in action Saturday, March 30 at home against Strasburg.

Game time is slated for 11 a.m.

The Lady Lions will welcome newcomers Julia Miller, Hailey Kohl, Addie Rhodes, Jenna Cassidy, Madeline Crissman, Kaitlyn Irey, Kayli Wright, Rylee Buccini, Rylan Smith and Abby Wheeler to the team.

“Our biggest deficit is in the hurdles.

We have some freshen we hope to contribute,” Scott said. “We hope to get McKenna Nign healthy. She has been out with a bad injury.”

The Lady Lions have a new coach on board to help the hurdles out this season.

“We have Carl Zallow who is a YSU graduate and participated in track there.

We are hoping his knowledge will help us develop our young hurdlers.”

As for league contenders? Scott says the Lady Lions will **compete contend** for the EBC title along with Carrollton and Salem.

“They always have tough teams,” she said.

Minerva will host the West Branch Warriors April 2 with events beginning at 4:30 p.m.

Imler takes over Minerva softball program, says 2019 will be a ‘growing year’

By JORDAN MILLER

Sports Editor

MINERVA – The Minerva Lady Lions softball team will compete in the 2019 season under th direction of first year head coach Al Imler.

Imler will field six returning lettermen this year: seniors – Stella Boldizar, third base and center field; and Ally Street, second base. Juniors – Maddie Foutz, third base and outfield; Olivia Kamph, pitcher and first base; Elyssa Imler, catcher and shortstop; and Shea Cress, first base and outfield.

“The team will be strong defensively,” Coach Imler said. “We have some athletic girls in some key positions that will make plays. I think we will hit the ball well as the season progresses. Our two seniors along with our juniors should do well this year.”

The Lady Lions welcome a few promising newcomers to the team this season: juniors Gina Slentz (outfield and

catcher) and Sierra Amatangelo (pitcher and first base). Freshman Lydia Brunner, shortstop and outfield.

“The main weakness we will have is lack of experience,” Imler said. “We are a young team with a lot of new faces.

We graduated six starters from last year’s team.”

Imler believes 2019 will be a rebuilding season for the Minerva softball program.

“I think this will be a growing year for the program,” he said. “With six new starters, game reps will be crucial to really get a handle on what works best for the team as we make adjustments.”

As for who will compete for the conference title this year?

“I think West Branch and Salem are definitely contenders for winning the EBC this year. I believe most teams have graduated key players and will look to some new faces to step in and contribute,” Coach Imler said. “With Louisville no longer in the league, I believe it really balances the field.”

Lions track team welcomes back 12 lettermen from last season to lead Minerva

MINERVA - The Minerva Lions track team will be one of the teams to beat in 2019, returning 12 lettermen to the track and field this season.

Among the 12 returners are: Joey Stafford, state qualifier in 1600; Jason Williams; Taylor Lowmiller; Nick Bledsoe; Kyle Hudson, regional qualifier in 110 hurdles; Garrison Markins, regional qualifier in long jump; Chance Martineau; JJ Johns; Liam Billiter; Bryson Becker; and Ben Brady.

Minerva Coach Frank Monk says the team’s strength this year will be their distance/sprints runners and the long

jump.

“We will probably get better as the year goes on and the younger athletes gain experiences,” Coach Monk said. “We’ll be good with a solid group of team leaders to help younger athletes gain confidence.”

Coach Monk says the team with the most depth will have the best shot at the conference title this season.

“First season without Louisville so will be much more competitive,” he said.

“The team with depth will have the advantage in meets. Dual meets do not count toward winning the league title, so a good invitational team will have the advantage.”

Lady Rockets return majority of 2018 softball team

By JORDAN MILLER

Sports Editor

BOWERSTON – The Conotton Valley Lady Rockets softball team will be led by first-year head coach Jeremy Bleininger in 2019.

The Lady Rockets return much of their 2018 ball team, only losing three key players (Makayla Nedrow, Kyndsley Hendershot and Maddison Underwood) to graduation.

Returning to the field for Conotton Valley are: seniors Kerston Ferguson, right field;

Emilee Rouse, outfield; Madison Jones, third/pitcher; and Briana Jones, catcher/first. Juniors Juliet Humphrey, outfield; Kayleigh Toot, first; and Carly Caldwell, second. Sophomores Samantha Myer, first; Kylie Ferguson, outfield; Emily Siedel, shortstop/pitcher; Genna Harlow, outfield; Sarah Schaar, catcher/utility; and Tabitha Stuber, centerfield.

“The team’s biggest strength is the unity between all of them along with the drive to succeed,” Bleininger said.

The Lady Rockets will welcome newcomer Ellie Bower to the diamond this season.

“She will help the team from the circle as well as with her bat,” said Bleininger.

The first-year head coach says there is room for improvement among this Conotton Valley team.

“The main area I hope to have the team improve on is the fundamentals of the game,” he said. “Good fundamentals executed correctly makes a team successful.”

Bleininger says he expects Strasburg to be a strong contender for the conference title this season due to their “long history of success.”

Rockets baseball team will rely on underclassmen

By JORDAN MILLER

Sports Editor

BOWERSTON – The Conotton Valley baseball team hopes to improve on last season’s 9-14 overall record (5-7 in conference action).

Dave DiDonato enters his second season as the Rockets head coach, he says the team will rely heavily on their number one (Kris

Hostetler) and number two (Nate Novak) pitchers to lead the team.

Hostetler was named first team IVC last season along with first team all-district.

Other players returning for the Rockets are: Kale Sellards, Ethan Barton, Braden Caldwell, Joey Schaar and Matt Caldwell.

Coach DiDonato says his Rockets team will work on improving defensively in 2019.

“We have to make routine plays routinely,”

he said.

After losing four key players to graduation last spring, some underclassmen will get the chance to shine this season.

“We will have to play freshmen in key positions this spring so our success will be determined by them,” Coach DiDonato said. “They need to make routine plays and have quality at bats.”

CHS students host a powder puff football game to raise money for Tzak Rainsberg CARROLLTON - Last week, the CHS Club hosted a Powder Puff football game to raise money for Tzak Rainsberg and his family.

Rainsberg was a student at Carrollton High School when he was involved in an accident in 2017, leaving him in a wheelchair and with a traumatic brain injury.

The Rainsbergs wanted to purchase Tzak a Hippocampe All-Terrain Beach Wheelchair, that costs nearly $3,400.

When Carrollton students,

teachers and residents found out, they took the matter into their own hands and started to raise funds.

Between the powder puff game and student/teacher collections, $4,788 was raised; more than enough money was raised for the chair.

“We appreciate all of the students and the work that they put into the event,” Tzak’s mom Tisha said. “Tzak will get his chair and he will so enjoy it! We are so proud to be a part of this community!”
