Justice is served for Mocha with conviction

By NANCY SCHAAR FPS Correspondent

Mocha supporters said they feel justice has been served following the sentencing hearing for Quin Markins in Judge Michael Repella’s Common Pleas Court room last Thursday, Feb. 28.

Markins was charged in January with two counts of prohibition concerning companion animals (Goddards Law) with the first charge being a fifth-degree felony for causing serious physical harm to a companion animal.

The second charge was a first-degree misdemeanor for knowingly torturing, tormenting, needlessly mutilating or maiming, cruelly beating, poisoning, needlessly killing or committing an act of cruelty of a companion animal.

The investigation by Carroll County Sheriff Dale Williams began in November of 2018. Markins was indicted by the Carroll County Grand Jury on Jan. 9, 2019.

Jason Cooke of Brooksville, Trumbull County, rescued Mocha and adopted her following the incident that led to Markins arrest.

“On Nov. 13 my life changed forever. Through social media I learned of Mocha’s abuse. I traveled an hour and a half to pick her up and took her to a vet. When I saw the x-rays, I was mortified. The vet said her injuries were consistent with a dog that has been hit by an automobile. I then took her to Akron for treatment,” said Cooke during his testimony on behalf

QUIN D. MARKINS on Mocha.

“No dog deserves to have this happen to them. This dog should be here right now. He didn’t have to have Mocha.

He didn’t have to do this, but he did and he admits it,” said Cooke to Judge Repella.

Cooke asked Repella to include in Markins sentence being prohibited from ever owning or having a companion animal ever again in his lifetime.

Mocha had multiple fractures, numerous injuries to her legs and other areas of the body as well. She also had a fracture to her elbow joint and previous pelvic fractures, according to

Cooke.

Cooke continued to say that the vet was outraged at the amount of internal injuries, as well as numerous broken bones from previous beatings.

The veterinarian recommended to Cooke that Mocha be euthanized the next day because with her new injuries and the chronic injuries she had endured, her quality of life would have been greatly affected.

Mocha was given a soft blanket and tender care in those final hours, according to Cooke. He also bought her a big hamburger before having to say goodbye.

“She wasn’t my dog for very long, but she was mine. Even if only for less than 24 hours. I surrounded her with love. It might have been the only time in her life she had that,” said Cooke.

Markins has been in the Carroll County Jail since Dec. 28 when Carroll County deputies arrested him in Minerva. He was also found to have an outstanding warrant out of Massillon Municipal Court.

Judge Repella thoroughly explained the charges and the legal consequences and what they would mean to Markins life. Markins flatly answered the Judge’s questions.

Markins had previously pleaded not guilty to the charges but upon the advice of his legal counsel, Steven Kandel, Markins changed his plea Thursday to guilty.

Kandel told the court that Markins was ready to take responsibility for his actions and admitted to his drug use.

Carroll County Commissioner Robert Wirkner (from left) recognized Carrollton Police Chief Robert Ellington, sheriff dispatcher Amber Williamson, Carrollton Police Patrol Officer and School Resource Officer Taylore Trsinar and Mike Ruby of the Carrollton Fire Department, as well as every emergency responder, for their service to their communities.

Carroll County Commissioners honored Carroll County emergency service personnel Monday, March 4.

“Our emergency services personnel are charged with saving lives and protecting property 24 hours a day, every day of the year,” stated Commissioner Bob Wirkner.

Wirkner continued to say that emergency personnel can never be adequately compensated or sufficiently recognized for the sacrifices made for their communities.

Commissioners passed a proclamation honoring police, sheriff, fire, and ambulance personnel for their dedication and for the sacrifices made every day.

Carroll County Sheriff Dale Williams and deputies were scheduled to be included in this ceremony, but were called to the scene of an accident at that time.

Commissioners support proposed fuel tax increase

By NANCY SCHAAR FPS Correspondent Carroll County Commissioners passed a resolution supporting House Bill 62 which is an increase in motor fuel tax that would provide more funds for the county to use to repair and replace roads in the county.

The resolution includes support in part to help Carroll County fund the significant clean up and repair costs that resulted from the heavy rains during the last year. Numerous issues of flooding, landslides, and road slips challenge the current budget for road repairs.

Commissioner Robert Wirkner stated that the people that will be hit the hardest by the fuel tax increase are truck drivers, who pay 40% of the tax collected.

The State of Ohio has not had an adjustment to the fuel tax since

2005. Funding for roads and bridges is decreasing an average of $250 million per year. This is in part due to the conclusion of two state bond issues.

For more information regarding the current and future situation of roads in the state you may visit the website: FixOurRoadsOhio.com.

Carroll County Engineer Brian Wise informed commissioners that he has been instructed by the Ohio Department of Transportation to reject all bids that had been submitted for the guardrail replacement project.

Wise said the bids did not meet the full requirements of the project in all aspects.

Bids will be accepted up to April 1, 2019 at 9:30 a.m. in the commissioners board room.

Commissioners accepted the resignation of Commissioners assistant clerk Tyra Warrington. They agreed to advertise for a new assistant clerk for 32 to 40 hours per week and beginning pay of $12 per hour.

Board of DD seeks new board member, welcomes special projects coordinator The Carroll County Board of Developmental Disabilities is seeking a new board member.

A replacement to be appointed by the Carroll County Probate and Juvenile Court Judge John S. Campbell is being sought for Katie Ray, who has resigned from the board.

Interested individuals should contact the Carroll County Board of Developmental Disabilities at 330-627-6555 or e-mail mcampbell@carrollhills. com for information. Deadline for all inquiries is April 1.

A paid advertisement seeking a new member is published in this issue on page 14.

The announcement for a new board member was made by Supt. Matt Campbell at the Board’s Feb. 28 meeting when Campbell also introduced Tim Liversage as the new community relations special project coordinator.

Campbell said Liversage will be taking over the duties of Healthcare Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) compliance and security officer.

Business Manager Ray Heaston reported on a recent meeting with Eagle Consulting to update HIPAA policies and complete risk analysis. School officials said Heaston will be working with the auditor’s office to report classroom aide wages for the newly passed House Bill 572.

HB 572 is the fix for Ohio Public Employees Retirement Systems giving classroom aides credit for a full year.

Ryan Buck, Director of Education Services, reported to the board the preschool maintained the 4 star rating from Step Up to Quality. He also went over the Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities review of Early Intervention, which received the highest rating of meeting standards.

In discussing calamity days, Buck said the school has 9 calamity days which will not need made up since the Ohio Department of Education goes by hours and the school has enough hours to cover the 9 days and then some, he noted.

In other business, the Board heard Supt. Campbell report on contract negotiations with ResCare Ohio.

Campbell said he and Business Manager Ray Heaston met with Rebecca Birch Jan. 3 when Campbell encouraged ResCare to follow person centered thinking and allow residents choice of day services.

He also noted ResCare has been helping residents interview and visit day sites such as Carroll Hills Industries.

Campbell said he was notified that only one resident will continue attending Board services while the other 7 have picked private providers and will transition to those services.

The Superintendent also reported on two recent meetings he attended in Delaware and

Franklin counties.

At a Feb. 8 meeting held at the Delaware County Board of DD, Campbell told Board members Rick Black of the Ohio Association of County Boards discussed the need to reduce the cost of targeted case management since it is a certified public expenditure reimbursed by the federal government.

Campbell said Atty. Steve Postalakis also talked about how county boards may approach independent providers due to Department of Labor employer of record findings.

Self-advocate Christine Brown discussed executive order 2019 to hire more people with disabilities in government. One of the current complications is when people with disabilities retire, Public Employee Retirement benefits would eliminate Medicaid eligibility, thus taking away funding for much needed services.

Campbell said Jeff Davis, newly appointed Ohio Department of DD director, talked about his priorities of providers and case management. “He (Davis) wants to simplify the system and address increasing provider wages to at least $12.38 per hour across the state,” Campbell said.

Director Davis will create a unit to support providers and a unit to support case management, Campbell noted.

At a Feb. 6 Service and Support Administration statewide workgroup meeting Campbell attended at the Franklin County Board of DD, Campbell said rule changes for Self-Empowered Life Funding waivers, vocational habilitation, non-medical transportation, on site on call, monthly rate calculators and private duty nursing were discussed.

County board action at the Feb. 28 meeting included: - APPROVAL of payment of $1,173.14 for January bills in the Hot Lunch account; - APPROVAL of payment of $173,160.58 for January bills in the General Funds account; - APPROVAL of payment of $108,031.35 for January bills in the Residential Services account; - APPROVAL of payment of $331.58 for bills in the DD School Levy account; - APPROVAL of payment of $21,667.43 for January bills in the Youth Residential grant account; - APPROVAL of program division/committee reports; - APPROVAL of the revised Major Unusual Incidents and Unusual Incidents to ensure health, welfare and continuous quality improvement policy; - HELD a half-hour executive session to consider the dismissal of a public employee or official; - SET the next regular meeting for March 28 at 5:30 p.m. at the Carroll County Board of DD building on N. High St. in Carrollton.

Malvern Council to require pets on leash in park

By NANCY SCHAAR FPS Correspondent Malvern Village Council gave a first reading to an ordinance that will set limits for dogs and other animals in the village park during its meeting March 4.

The ordinance includes the provision that all dogs and cats will be on a leash, chain, or cord of reasonable length while on public property or right of way.

The leash must also be held by a responsible adult.

The village has posted for years that no dog is permitted in the park but violators can regularly be found in the park with their dogs.

This ordinance was created so that the village can enforce a leash law in the village.

Fiscal Officer Ashley Neading presented information from Softline Data, Inc. regarding an “all call” type of service to the

village. This could be used for road closings, boil orders and other emergency information.

Council will consider the issue.

In other business council: - APPROVED a maintenance agreement between the village and Brown Local Schools to jointly participate in a sidewalk grant program through the Ohio Department of Transportation.

- LEARNED the park committee president is Craig DeLong and committee terms will be for one year.

- ANNOUNCED the village will not hold Old Fashioned Days this summer.

- HAVE received four bids so far for the mowing contract for the village park. Deadline is March 11.

- LEARNED the Citrus Road trailer park still owes $1,000 from their February water bill.

- AGREED to order portable toilets for the park for the summer.

“You need to get it under control. You will be tested for drugs and alcohol when you get out,” said Repella.

Markins will also be required to get a job and earn his GED upon release.

Repella imposed a sentence of

180 days in the county jail with a credit of 31 days served.

When Markins is released from jail, he will immediately be taken to a one year intensive drug and alcohol treatment center called Adult Teen Challenge.

There was a long list of sanctions that Markins must comply with during his probation.

If even the slightest rule is broken, Repella stressed to Markins that he will be taken to an Ohio prison and will serve his full-term there.

County engineer discusses road conditions in annual report

By NANCY SCHAAR FPS Correspondent Carroll County Engineer Brian J. Wise presented his 2018 annual report to commissioners.

Funding issues continue to be very important to the local road repairs and replacement projects. The county receives revenue for the highway department from the State Motor Vehicle Fuel Tax but those have been steadily declining in recent years. Wise was happy to report that they had increased slightly last year.

With 307 miles of road and 144 bridges in the county, Wise thanked all the workers in his department for their hard work and dedication.

“The roads need paved. They need tops and they need leveled. We have patches on patches. Half of our roads are great and the other half are not so great,” said Wise.

Wise reported that there are projects he hopes to complete this year that were on his list to be done in 2018. Wise said it rained and rained and there was nothing they could do about it.

Wise said the county received between 60 and 70 inches of rain in 2018. He said they did what they could, but some projects just can’t be done in the rain.

Due to several retirements, the staff of the road department is at 23. Wise said it’s been a hard winter and they’ve used 94 tons of winter mix this year and as we know, there is more to come.

Wise reported that the county is down to one low posted bridge. He also said eleven bridges are to be repaired or replaced by 2020. The average life of a bridge is about 50 years.

That means that three bridges must be replaced every year to keep up with normal wear and tear, according to Wise. Each bridge costs about $250,000 to replace. That means that

$750,000 of the budget each year must be set aside just for that purpose.

With the proposed tax increase by the Governor, Carroll County could see an increase of $1.7 million a year in income from the fuel tax. The county now receives about $2.4 million from that road tax.

Commissioners discussed sending a letter of support for the tax increase to the Governor. Commissioners Jeff Ohler and Bob Wirkner were both in favor of the letter.

Commissioner Lewis Mickley didn’t immediately respond. He finally said he was just sitting there thinking quietly. “People don’t want taxes. I represent the people,” said Mickley.

Wise commented that the county has no option mechanics in place to pay for road repairs. Mickley then voted yes to send the letter of support.

The road improvements that were made by Chesapeake several years ago are beginning to deteriorate. Wise hopes to be

The total revenue received for 2018 was $4,485,931. This was a slight increase over 2017 which was $4,090,942. The engineer’s department does not receive any funds from property taxes, which is a common misconception among residents.

The department spent over $4,449,448 in 2018 to perform 45,000 hours of labor.

Since doing the contract work themselves, this has saved the department over $250,000.

“Performing road and bridge repair and maintenance work with our own personnel is one of the most cost effective ways we can manage our resources more efficiently,” stated Wise.

Wise said he expected they would need to purchase a new wheel loader in 2018 but by making repairs themselves to the loader they were able to update the mower fleet which is 20 years old.

Minerva native Yeoman (Submarine) 2nd Class David Baxter was selected as Junior Sailor of the Year while serving aboard USS Columbus (SSN 762).

Minerva native selected as Junior Sailor of the Year Norfolk, Va. – A Minerva native, Yeoman (Submarine) 2nd Class David Baxter, has been selected as Junior Sailor of the Year (JSOY) while serving aboard USS Columbus (SSN 762).

Sailors that show outstanding initiative and commitment to the Navy’s mission and teamwork are selected as Sailor of the Year and Junior Sailor of the Year after standing before a board of senior Sailors. Baxter was selected for his impressive work ethic, providing superior assistance for every Sailor that entered the Administration office.

“My favorite part of my job is working hand-in-hand with each Sailor to fix their issues,” Baxter said. “I love being part of the submarine force.”

Baxter joined the Navy after a long line of family members who served or are currently serving their country: his grandfather, his father, his sister, his brother, his brother-inlaw and his cousin.

He recently joined four other Columbus crew members during a namesake visit at

Columbus, Ohio where he got to tour the Columbus Statehouse, the Columbus Supreme Court, attend a Columbus Blue Jackets hockey game and speak with many JROTC youth at various Columbus high schools, among other venues during their busy tour schedule.

USS Columbus Chief of the Boat, Master Chief Dustin Bruner, highlighted the importance of the boat’s work and the pride the crew has in their namesake, stating: “When we are out there, we are trying to make Columbus proud of us.”

The Columbus is a flexible, multi-mission platform designed to carry out the seven core competencies of the submarine force: anti-submarine warfare, anti-surface warfare, delivery of special operation forces, strike warfare, irregular warfare, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance and mine warfare. It’s 362 feet long and 33 feet wide, powered by a nuclear reactor to push the boat through the water at speeds of more than 20 knots while submerged.

Kimble truck overturns on state Route 39 curve A Kimble trash truck of Dover, overturned on its side while driving on a curve at Kangaroo Crossing on Salineville Road Monday morning at 8:40 a.m.

Carroll County Sheriff Dale Williams said the pavement was wet, maybe a bit icy, and as the truck began to slide and overturn it hit the steel structure of a railroad overpass before coming to rest on its side. The truck left deep gouges in the road pavement.

The truck driver was Roger Kirtley of N. Shore Drive, Mineral City. Kirtley was injured and taken to Mercy Medical in Canton by EMT Ambulance.

On Tuesday, Kirtley remained

in the hospital. His injuries were not known at this time.

Representatives of Ohio Rail did come to the scene of the accident and said an engineer would be sent to inspect the train bridge and its steel structure.

Fox Volunteer Fire Department, Carrollton Village Volunteer Fire Department, McNinch towing, and deputies were on the scene to assist.

Williams said the road was closed from 9:45 until 11 a.m.

Monday. The truck was uprighted and hauled away by McNinch. Williams thanked all departments involved for their quick action and assistance.

Pastor’s Pen

I grew up in a suburb of Cleveland. As a child, I remember we had one small-screen television set and we could only watch shows in black and white. There was no microwave.

In fact, we didn’t even have a shower, just one small bathtub.

We cooked on a gas stove and I recall the pilot light often went out. Life wasn’t always easy then. One day I had been out with my mom and when we arrived home, she realized she had forgotten the house key.

We could not call my dad on the cell phone – they didn’t exist. My mom didn’t want to break a window since there wasn’t much money for repairs. There was a small opening going into the basement that had once been a coal chute for the coal furnace. My mom pushed me through the coal chute, and I got stuck. She pushed harder and I eventually fell onto the basement floor, found my way in the dark and unlocked the kitchen door.

As I look back, I realize how difficult life was for my parents at times, but mom had a deep and wonderful faith that enabled her to face tough times. Near the end of her life she gave me her journal.

On one page she wrote, “Dear Lord, there is nothing I need today.

I’ve come only to talk.”

I’m sure this was not original with my mom, but it fits what she taught me. No matter what happens in life, sometimes we need to just sit and talk to God. And then listen for God’s response! Life is filled with peaks and valleys. In the midst of our triumphs and failures we can be assured, God walks with us.

In Hebrews we read, “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.” In Joshua it is written, “Have I not commanded you?

Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”

Pastor Jim Painting

Lest We Forget

By CAPT. CHARLES PEARSON

U.S. Marine Corps, ret.

In January of 1965 Lt. Colonel William Leftwich Jr., reported for duty as an advisor to a South Vietnamese Marine Brigade.

On March 9, 1965, Lt. Col. Leftwich led the Vietnamese Marine unit on an attack against a Viet Cong position just outside Hanoi. Wounded three times by enemy machine gun fire, Leftwich rushed to help evacuate a seriously wounded comrade. He himself refusing aid, continued to coordinate the air support strikes through the remainder of the action. His fearless conduct earned him one of the first Navy Cross awards in the Vietnam War. After leaving Vietnam in 1966, he served as an instructor at the Basic School for newly commissioned officers at Quantico Virginia. In 1970, he returned to Vietnam as battalion commander of the 2nd Battalion 1st Marines. He eventually became the commanding officer of the 1st Reconnaissance Battalion.

In keeping with the Corps reputation as adaptive warriors, the battalion was using “stingray” tactics to track and target the North Vietnamese. Stingray

teams of at least six Marines would secretly be inserted in the mountains along suspected or known enemy supply routes.

When one of these stingray teams would run into trouble, Leftwich would pick up an M-16, climb aboard a chopper and go into the boonies to help them himself.

On Nov. 18, 1970, one of Leftwich’s teams was in trouble and, as was his custom, Leftwich went to their aid in Que Sons. The mountainous terrain was rugged and the weather did not cooperate. Using a CH-46 chopper and special rope rig, the entire team was pulled up into the aircraft. But as they withdrew from the enemy-infested area in dense fog, the helicopter crashed into a mountain, killing all 15 aboard.

Many of our brave service members have sacrificed their lives for us and their country.

Self-preservation is the first law of nature, self-sacrifice the highest rule of grace. We should never forget those who have practiced the highest rule of grace for us. Please keep them and their families in your prayers.

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

Letter to the Editor By now, you’ve probably heard about Human Trafficking, but what does it mean and what can you do about it? Human trafficking, or modern day slavery, is defined as the compelled service of others for profit. In 2017, the National Human Trafficking Hotline data indicated that Ohio was 4th for potential human trafficking cases. California, Texas, and Florida were first, second, and third. Data from the Office of Refugee Resettlement also indicates that our community is at risk for human trafficking. In 2018, 66 unaccompanied children were released to sponsors in Tuscarawas County. Only Hamilton and Franklin County received more. It’s not unusual for these minors to get lost in the system, putting them at risk to be trafficked.

What do you really know about human trafficking? Let’s explore some common myths.

• Human trafficking is only sex trafficking. Myth! 68% of the 20.9 million victims of human trafficking globally involve forced labor; 22% of the victims are sexually exploited; and 10% of the victims are part of a state-imposed forced labor.

• Victims of human trafficking will self-identify. Myth! 50% of the victims of human trafficking had contact with a health care professional; none of these victims said they were trafficked.

• Human trafficking is not in our community. Myth! The National Human Trafficking Hotline has reported on more than 30,000 cases of potential human trafficking from all 50 states, DC, and the U.S. Territories.

• Human trafficking only happens to children. Myth! The National Human Trafficking Hotline reports that since 2012, 62% of the case reports they’ve received involve adults.

• Human trafficking only happens to women. Myth! The National Human Trafficking Hotline reports that since 2012, 18% of the case reports they’ve received involve men.

How do you know if someone may be a victim of human trafficking? If you encounter someone who is accompanied by a controlling person; who lacks control over activities, money, or identification; who is transported to and from work or who lives and works in the same place; who is unable to leave a job because of debt owed to the employer; or who is bruised, depressed, fearful, or overly submissive; be concerned.

From 2013 to 2017, the Ohio Attorney General’s Office reported that 554 human trafficking investigations led to 367 arrests and 105 state human trafficking-related convictions. If you see something that just doesn’t look right, call the National Human Trafficking Hotline at 888-373-7888, text the BeFree line at 233733, or call the Ohio Highway Patrol at #677.

NEXUS teams up with FAO to invest in area youth Grants just announced through the Foundation for Appalachian Ohio (FAO) will invest in the promise of these Ohio’s Appalachia’s youth to lead and partner with their communities in substance use prevention.

A recent $20,000 donation from NEXUS Gas Transmission is being put to use to help build new or develop stronger youth-led prevention efforts through a two-year infusion of grant funding, as well as training and technical assistance for the adults guiding young people in this work.

Ohioans living in Appalachia have been greatly impacted by the destruction of the national opiate epidemic. These grants will invest not only in prevention strategies designed to reach young people, but also in the ability of young people to lead effective prevention efforts themselves. Funding from NEXUS will help to support training and technical assistance in Columbiana County through a collaboration with Steel Valley FCA, the Columbiana County ESC, and Family Recovery Center, as well as support Personal and Family Counseling Services in Carroll County in their efforts to grow youth-led prevention of substance use in their community.

“FAO has always believed in the children of Appalachia,” said FAO’s President and CEO Cara Dingus Brook. “As we partner with our communities to tackle some of our greatest challenges, we know that our youngest citizens have an incredible ability to lead. We have great hopes for the ways these young people can make a difference for their peers and their communities, in particular around issues of substance use.”

The grant is an opportunity to engage more of Appalachian Ohio’s young people as leaders in the identification and implementation of evidence-based prevention strategies.

“Our partnership with the Foundation for Appalachian Ohio is anchored in our commitment to support, bolster and grow healthy, successful communities where we live and operate,” said NEXUS spokesman Mitchell McKerlie. “We are pleased to support FAO’s youth-led prevention program and their unrelenting efforts in fighting the opioid crisis in Appalachia.”

With these grants, the Foundation will work with Ohio University’s Voinovich School of Leadership and Public Affairs to build upon their track record of growing youth-led prevention across Ohio by expanding efforts in the state’s Appalachian region.

“We are excited for this opportunity to help more communities develop youth-led prevention efforts to combat substance use,” said Ohio University President Duane Nellis. “Our youth-led prevention work has been powerful and we have hoped to do more of it here in our Appalachian Ohio region.

This partnership with the Foundation for Appalachian Ohio is an exciting collaboration in service of the region.”

With additional partnership and support from the Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services and the Prevention Action Alliance, grantees will work with partners that stretch beyond Appalachian Ohio.

Grantees include organizations, schools, and communities across the region who will either initiate local, youth-led prevention programs or ground existing programs in an evidence-based approach. Grantees include Personal and Family Counseling Services in Carroll County to support Youth-Led Prevention Each of the grantees will receive $5,000 over two years, training and technical assistance for adult facilitators of youth-led programming, and the support of fellow grantees who are guiding youth leaders in the region.

Additionally, FAO will support capacity-building grants to develop additional understanding around youth-led prevention in local communities, like the dollars supporting the Family Recovery Center in Columbiana County.

“Strengthening Youth-Led Prevention” is the first grant initiative through the Foundation’s new Health & Human Services Pillar Fund for Appalachian Ohio. In a region long plagued by a philanthropy gap that leaves Appalachian Ohio with nine times fewer philanthropic resources than the rest of the state, FAO has launched the Pillars of Prosperity to create and invest the kind of flexible, strategic funds most needed in the region’s communities. Each fund focuses on one of five areas essential to a vibrant and prosperous region – Arts & Culture, Community & Economic Development, Education, Environmental Stewardship, and Health & Human Services.

“Our communities have long needed flexible resources that can adapt to our region’s greatest needs and most exciting opportunities,” shared Brook.

“That’s why the Pillars of Prosperity were created and it’s promising to see this first effort take on such a crucial issue. It’s only been possible because of the partners who have helped us reach this milestone.”

Gifts to FAO’s Health & Human Services Pillar are tax deductible and can be made in a number of ways, including cash, gifts in wills, and life insurance. To make a donation, please designate the Health and Human Services Pillar and mail to the Foundation for Appalachian Ohio, PO Box 456, Nelsonville, OH 45764. Donations can also be made online by visiting the online giving page on our website.

Sherry’s Book Corner

Hello everyone! There are a lot of activities going on in the month of March!

For instance, we have Ash Wednesday on the 6th, Daylight Saving Time Begins on the 10th, St. Patrick’s Day is on the 17th, and Spring begins on the 20th!

Are we going to be busy or what? I thought a fun picture book would be just what we needed to start the month off just right. Also, it has a great chocolate chip recipe at the end of the story.

Imagine that!

How many of you out there bake chocolate chip cookies!?!

I do! They are Randy’s favorite cookie. Now that we are eating gluten free, I use the recipe off my gluten-free flour bag. He thinks they are the best!

Maybe because of who bakes them?

When I read this story, it made me realize we can do anything if we put our minds to it! Once you share this story with your kids, they too will see the possibilities for their future is endless. All that is needed are ideas and

encouragement! I think this story is a great idea!

Until next time, stock up on all your ingredients and start baking!

Your friend, Sherry Sherry Kline Bolitho Adult Book: Title: How the Cookie Crumbled Written and illustrated by: Gilford Ford Publisher: Atheneum Books for Young Readers Price: $17.99 Available at the Carroll County District Library The main character, Ruth, started helping her grandma in the kitchen when she was old enough to hold a spoon. She loved cooking so much she went to college to study nutrition. She married Kenneth Wakefield and they moved to Whitman, Massachusetts.

They purchased an old tollhouse and named it the Toll House Inn. There, Ruth opened a restaurant and she has been well known ever since.

Ruth created the chocolate chip cookie in her own restaurant. In 1997, chocolate chip cookies were made the official state cookie of Massachusetts. Most people agree the chocolate chip cookie is a staple of the entire United States.

Five CHS wrestlers advance to state tournament

By JORDAN MILLER

Sports Editor

HEATH - For the sixth year in a row, the Carrollton wrestling team placed third at the district tournament.

Five Carrollton wrestlers, including a record two freshmen, will continue their seasons this weekend at the state tournament.

Carrollton entered the district tournament with 11 wrestlers still alive in the tournament.

Brandon Daniels, Ben Pasiuk, Alex Carrothers, Domanick Speelman and David Woolever are Carrollton’s five wrestlers who made it out of the tournament and will represent the Warriors this Thursday, Friday and Saturday at the state tournament.

“All five of our wrestlers are good enough physically, mentally, and skill wise to reach the top,” Coach Ken Pasiuk said. “Pasiuk and Daniels have done a great job leading their team and keeping the younger wrestlers focused and grounded.”

Pasiuk won his first match with a :23 pin against Fairland’s Josh Brewer. He advanced to the semifinals with a 7-3 decision over Hartley’s Joey Petrella.

Pasiuk was winning big in his semifinal match but his opponent had to default due to injury in the third period. He defeated River Valley’s Hadyn Danals 11-3 for the district title. With his district championship win, he became the first Carrollton

wrestler to win both sectional and district championship titles all four years of high school.

Brandon Daniels won a hard-fought battle against Maysville’s Hayden McGee, 12-7, to punch his ticket to the state tournament.

Daniels won his championship match 11-8 over Bric Parks of Jackson.

Carrollton junior Alex Carrothers overpowered Sheridan’s Chance King 5-0 in the 170-lb. championship, to qualify for the state tournament.

Carrollton freshmen Speelman and

Woolever both lost in the semifinals but rebounded in the consolation semifinal with wins to advance to the state tournament.

“These two are special young men that are gifted in the sport,” Coach Ken Pasiuk said about the two young wrestlers. “They both work hard in the wrestling room and have very good chances to make podium.”

“Our Carrollton boys had a great weekend. We are very proud of our entire team,” Coach Ken Pasiuk said.

“Our District tournament is tough and

our guys went into each match confidently and ready to wrestle.”

Six Carrollton wrestlers’ seasons ended at the district tournament: Brandon Brown, Seth Brown, Jaret Lane, Connor Clark, Robbie Hoopes and Colby Moore.

Sophomore Brandon Brown placed fifth at districts, making him a state

alternate.

Daniels (429) broke Tom Sell’s 1985 record of takedowns in a career (415).

He also moved ahead of Sell’s singleseason record of 160 with 170 takedowns.

Carrollton’s state qualifiers will wrestle starting Thursday at 3 p.m. at the Jerome Schottenstein Center.

Sports Editor

NEW CONCORD - A season full of highs and lows came to an end Saturday for the Carrollton Warrior boys basketball team in the OHSAA tournament.

The Warriors were in it until the very end against the Muskies.

John Glenn, seeded no. 2, was on top at the end of the first quarter, 13-10, but Carrollton, seeded no. 17, made up the three points they were down and tied it at 23-23 going into halftime.

The third quarter was a back-andforth battle between the Warriors and Muskies but John Glenn took a 33-32 lead into the final frame of action.

The Muskies put the final nail in the coffin, outscoring Carrollton 17-13 in the fourth quarter, winning 50-45.

“Very proud of our guys and the fight they displayed every game,” first-year

head coach Mike Aukerman said. “We were in nearly every game this year and surely entertained our fans and community. I wish for them that we could have accumulated a few more wins.”

Adam Chaney led the Warriors with a team-high 27 points, including six three-pointers and going four-of-four from the free throw line.

Carrollton senior Drue Moore recorded seven points, including a triple of his own.

Andrew Gotschall made one threepoint shot for Carrollton, his only points of the game.

The Carrollton Warriors finished the season 8-15 overall and 6-6 in conference action.

“Our boys battled like warriors and were winners in the gym and in the eyes of our community,” Aukerman said. “But it sure would’ve been nice to win another handful of games - don’t get me wrong.”

a row. “We will work you through it. We let them know if one is off a little, we are confident that the other four will be there to pick up till we get them straightened out. Trust us.”

“My seniors are awesome.

They try and keep the team up beat. These girls never give up,” Coach Fox said. “They are constantly striving to make things better. Very proud of all my girls.”

Malvern’s Banta advances to state

The Malvern Hornets wrestling team will have one wrestler to represent the squad this weekend at the state tournament.

Malvern junior Tyler Banta qualified for the Ohio High School State Athletic Association (OHSAA) state tournament with a fourth place finish at 126 lbs.

Banta defeated Anthony Roby of Madison-Plains in the consolation semifinals with a pin in 30 seconds.

“I could not be more proud of Tyler. He has worked incredibly hard to get to where he is now,” Malvern Coach Robbie Wilson said. “Having to come back from an injury that kept him sidelined most of last season and summer just makes this an even greater accomplishment for him.”

Banta is the first Malvern wrestler to qualify for state since Dominic Chiurco nearly a decade ago.

“His is a big thing for our program,” Wilson said. “I hope that kids look at Tyler and see that Malvern is a place they can wrestle and have success and compete at a high level.”

Banta will wrestle Cameron Dickman (25-2) of Oak Harbor in the first round of the state tournament Thursday afternoon at the Jerome Schottenstein Center.

Banta enters the tournament with a record of 31-12.

Farming Today Dairy Promotion Board honors Shaland Farms, Rhodes is 2019 Dairy Princess

Agriculture drives the economy Though it’s easy to look at the tech industry and think this increasingly influential sector is what makes the world go round, something closer to the very core of the Earth may be what’s driving your economy.

The agricultural sector plays a strategic role in a nation’s economic development and prosperity. From the earliest days, agriculture has been heralded as playing a crucial role in North American culture.

Farmers who grow produce and raise livestock for meats and other products have long exemplified what it means to work hard and take initiatives to be self-sufficient.

The symbiotic nature of agriculture and the economy is

noticeable when examining the ups and downs of each. This is because food production and the potential of agriculture extends beyond the fields and local food stands. These resources impact supply chains and other markets. A strong agriculture base influences other employment sectors like food manufacturing, biotechnology, hospitality, machinery building, and much more, while a weak agriculture can adversely affect those sectors.

While it can be difficult for residents of developed nations to visualize agriculture’s effect, one only needs to turn to impoverished and developing nations to see just how big an impact agriculture can have on

an economy.

Agriculture provides food and raw materials, eventually creating demand for goods produced in non-agricultural sectors.

Also, food provides nutrition that can serve as the foundation of a healthy nation.

Earning a living in agriculture strengthens purchasing power, which fuels other markets.

Eventually, farming can pave the way for development, including roads, markets, shipping services, exporting, and many other sectors.

Agriculture is an important economic building block. An especially important sector, the agricultural industry, when supported, can contribute greatly to sustained economic growth.

Ohio agriculture director to visit Carroll County The Ohio Department of Agriculture Director Dorothy Pelanda is hosting informal meet and greets across Ohio and one is scheduled in Carroll County.

On Tuesday, March 12, from 2-3 p.m., Pelanda will be at Ohio FFA Camp Muskingum, 3266 Dyewood Road SW, Carrollton.

This meeting is offered in cooperation with Carroll, Stark, and Columbiana soil and water conservation districts.

Pelanda wants to introduce herself, share information regarding background and listen to thoughts and ideas from members of Ohio’s food and agriculture industry.

Pelanda was appointed as the 39th director of the Ohio Department of Agriculture by Governor Mike DeWine on Jan. 10. She is the first woman to serve as director in the department’s history. Her greatgreat-great uncle, Gideon Liggett, served eight years (six as treasurer) on the Ohio Board of Agriculture (the precursor to ODA) in the early 1900s.

A lifelong Ohio resident, she grew up on her family farm in Marysville, where the values of hard work, steadfast determination, resourcefulness and eternal optimism were instilled in

DOROTHY PELANDA her at a young age. Pelanda still lives on the farmland where she was raised.

As a small business owner, Pelanda understands that government regulation and bureaucratic red tape must be limited to allow Ohio’s business owners to thrive and prosper. She practiced law in her own private practice for nearly 30 years, where she represented hundreds of clients from Union County and the surrounding area.

Join the Arbor Day Foundation and Maintenance key to functioning farms receive 10 free trees The family automobile is not the only piece of equipment that requires routine upkeep to ensure it is operating properly.

Life on a farm can come to a screeching halt if farm equipment is not properly maintained. Farmers invest hundreds of thousands of dollars on agricultural equipment, such as tractors, tillers, hoppers, and dozers. Adhering to maintenance schedules can prevent breakdowns and decrease the need for potentially costly emergency repairs.

Keep it clean Cleaning the surface of equipment can go a long way toward keeping it operating smoothly.

Use a pressure washer to remove caked-on mud and other debris. Titan iron suppliers recommend quickly washing equipment after usage so that substances do not have the chance to harden.

Learn the equipment Over time, it is possible to employ your senses of sight, sound and even smell to determine if equipment is working properly. Familiarize yourself with the owner’s manual so you can troubleshoot minor problems.

Any unusual sounds, odors or responses from the gear should be noted.

Routine maintenance checks Routinely inspect hoses, fittings, and seals to ensure they are in good working condition.

Be sure fluids, such as coolant and oil, are at the proper levels. Check and replace filters as needed. Tires need to be properly inflated, and inspect the battery for corrosion or other signs that it may need to be replaced.

Joining the Arbor Day Foundation is an ideal way to get in the mood for spring planting. Anyone who joins the Foundation in March 2019 will receive 10 free Colorado blue spruce trees or 10 free redbud trees to plant when the weather turns warm.  The free trees are part of the Foundation’s Trees for America campaign. “These trees will help beautify your home for many years to come,� said Matt Harris, chief executive of the Arbor Day Foundation. “The trees will also add to the proud heritage of your state’s existing Tree City USA communities.�

The Tree City USA program has supported community forestry throughout the country for the past 40 years.

Farmers invest hundreds of thousands of dollars on agricultural equipment, such as tractors, tillers, hoppers, and dozers. Adhering to maintenance schedules can prevent breakdowns and decrease the need for potentially costly emergency repairs.

Check belts for cracks. Tour the exterior of the equipment looking at signals and lights to ensure they are in proper working order. Hardware should be tightened and any missing pieces replaced.

Heavy farm equipment needs motor oil, hydraulic oil and filters changed more frequently than automobiles. Such equipment also may need more frequent lubrication of chains and cables. Always check and inspect equipment prior to jobs requiring heavy and extended usage.

Malvern Vapor Shack offers variety of vape products

By GEORGETTE HUFF FPS Contributor

Jodi and Darren Watson debated about what to do with the small shed at the end of the driveway on the property they had bought on Bluebird Road near Malvern.

The couple planned to have a vegetable garden, so perhaps the shed could be used as a greenhouse, to store tools and start seeds. However, at the same time, Darren had begun to “vape” as a means to quit smoking. As they researched the local availability of the types of products used in the vaping process, the idea of turning the shed into a retail outlet took hold.

The Malvern Vapor Shack

opened briefly in mid-2018, then was closed for renovations and has now reopened, fully stocked with vape tanks and Hemp Bombs products formulated from cold-pressed CBD oil in a wide variety of flavors, concentrations and forms including tinctures, lollipops, syrups, gummies, oils and capsules.

The Watsons explained that CBD oil is harvested from cannabis plants via a process that removes THC, which is the main psychoactive component of the plants.

The CBD products sold at the Vapor Shack are sourced from premium-grade, organic plants that are grown without pesticides, herbicides, or insecticides.

Dozens of styles of “vapes,” in-

cluding BLU products and over 300 flavors of natural-based “juice” are available at the Vapor Shack. Darren also cleans and reconditions customers’ vapes.

Additionally, the shop carries pet oil and dog biscuits that can help relieve stress, anxiety and chronic pain in pets.

Kratom, a powdered “tea” derived from a natural leafy herb that helps people deal with opioid withdrawal, pain and anxiety, is available in red, white and green variations.

While the Watsons are committed to offering products and encouragement to help others to quit smoking, they stress that sales will be made only to customers who are 18 or older.

The Malvern Vapor Shack is located at 5248 Bluebird Road

Lighthouse Bistro and Atwood Dock Marina & Grill welcome Scarpino as new executive chef The Lighthouse Bistro and Dock Marina & Grille at Atwood Lake announced March 1 the addition of their new executive chef for this upcoming season.

Gary Miller, manager partner for both the Bistro and the Dock, said, “We welcome Bryan Scarpino as our new culinary team leader. Bryan brings over 25 years in the food service industry as the head chef at popular Stark County eateries La Pizzaria, That Little Italian Kitchen, Main Street Grill in North Canton and Reunions’ Pub where he started his career.”

He noted Scarpino will be moving to the area so he can be fully involved with our operations at The Dock and the Bistro and also be involved in the local community.

“We are fortunate to find a chef that has as much passion for the food industry as Bryan,” Miller added. “We’re sure to continue to have our same signature dishes that you have come to love, but now, with a new keen eye, great items will be added. I’m sure Bryan will share some of his Italian cuisine background with us.”

The Dock Friday will open

Malvern High School receives two AEP education mini-grants

Friday, March 15, and kick off with its St. Patrick’s Day party Saturday, March 16.

The Bistro will also be opening Friday, March 15. Both establishments will be on the spring hours of being open Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.

“I look forward to having a ‘Meet the Chef Night’ for all of our Diners Club Members from the Bistro and Dock in April and you’ll have the opportunity to meet with Chef Bryan,” said Miller. “When you see Chef Bryan, give him a warm welcome to the Atwood Lake community.”

The Foundation for Appalachian Ohio is pleased to announce Malvern High School is one of the 2018 AEP Access to Environmental Education Mini-Grant recipients.

This year, 16 grants were made, totaling more than $20,000, in support for environmental education projects across Appalachian Ohio.

The AEP Access to Environmental Education Fund supports projects encouraging youth participation in learning experiences linked to local natural resources that share the lessons learned with their communities. Educators and 501(c)(3)

nonprofit organizations alike are eligible to apply.

Malvern High School received a $1,500 grant for its Energy Charge! Project. This project will serve as an introduction to alternative energy options.

Grant funding will be used to purchase necessary materials to build two bicycle power stations, as well as a solar power station so students will create different sources of energy to charge their cell phones and laptops.

Malvern High School also received a $1,500 grant for its Car Conversion project. This project will bring awareness to

fossil fuel usage and how to reduce our usage by converting a gasoline-based vehicle into an electric vehicle. Students will engage in hands-on learning by using a car conversion kit to transition a car from gas to electric power.

Buckeye Career Center to break ground for energy operations and utility lineworker training center Buckeye Career Center is increasing its footprint on career and technical education with the addition of a new Energy Operations and Utility Lineworker training facility.

Groundbreaking on the 15,000 square feet building, on the northeast side of campus, is expected to take place the first week of March 2019. The anticipated completion date is March 2020 with the building open to students in the fall of 2020.

The facility will house the high school Energy Operations program, which enrolls nearly 90 students each year, in addition to high school Natural Resources, Adult Education EMS/ Fire Safety programs, the Adult Education Utility Lineworker program, and new for the 2020 school year will be a high school Utility Lineworker program.

According to Buckeye Career Center Superintendent Bob Alsept, the project is due to the continued demand for qualified workers.

“The oil and gas industry has an increased need but all sectors are looking for trained employees. Helping to prepare new employees and replace retiring workers is vital to what we do for all fields of employment and this new building will help us in that mission,” said Alsept.

The addition will allow Buckeye Career Center to again provide a permanent home for the Adult Education EMS/Fire Safety programs, which have temporarily been housed in the former New Philadelphia Fire

Free Press Standard | SCHOOLS

Department.

“Many local agencies are looking to hire both full and parttime safety workers. This move will benefit high school and adult students as we’ll be able to offer more industry credentials, such as CPR/First Aid on-site,” said BCC Curriculum, Instruction, and Adult Education Director Frank Polen.

The building will feature four high-bay labs, four classrooms, and one – 65 feet tall indoor lineworker training facility, complete with six climbing poles. Tuscon Inc. will provide civil construction and Benchmark Construction will serve as the general contractor for the brick and metal-sided structure, both submitting the lowest bids for the project.

BCC Natural Resources students worked this fall to clear trees from the construction site and Adult Education Heavy Equipment/CDL A Operator students helped prepare the ground for construction.

“We are pleased to be working with local companies who have a local feel for the workforce, including employing former Buckeye Career Center students. This will expand the parking area as well, as we complete our five year plan of projects,” said Alsept.

BCC will also maintain the current outdoor lineworker training facility. Updates and photos of the project will be available on the Buckeye Career Center social media platforms including Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

BCC Superintendent Bob Alsept and Adult Education Director Frank Polen helped prepare the pancakes, while other administrators and staff served the pancake and sausage breakfast to 388 attendees.

The third annual event encourages parents to have breakfast with their student(s) and tour his or her students’ lab, as the school day gets underway.

Principal Matt Fockler greeted the families and thanked them for attending. Fockler believes the turnout was exceptional.

“It was extremely nice to see high school students have breakfast at school with their parents,” said Fockler. “The bells were ringing, we did announcements, they saw labs, and kids were in the hallways.

They get that actual school day experience.”

Family photos were also captured and will be distributed to each student who attended.

forts,” Kireta commented.

Kireta also is coordinating an event with the chamber March 11 to offer soft skills training when it comes to job and college interviews.

Juniors and seniors will be invited to meet with representatives during the school day prior to the college and career fair to discuss proper etiquette.

“We went to an Ohio School Boards Association conference and learned there were skills that people were lacking, and we wanted kids to have an idea of what jobs and colleges were looking for.”

She added that the fair was one way the district strives to provide students with meaningful

experiences that will enhance their college and career readiness by offering the tools and pathways for their future. The event also allows students and community members to learn more about higher education, trades and careers they may be interested in. Vendors would be on hand to answer questions and provide advice on required training and networking for career choices.

Letters have been distributed within the community and potential vendors must RSVP by March 7.

Any college, business or trade interested in participating may contact Kireta at Julie.kireta@ edisonwildcats.org.

Looking on (back) are Legion Sergeant-at-Arms Jeff Binkiewicz and Chaplain Dan Vojvodich.

Richmond Legion donates $1,000 to Edison HS for Chromebooks Edison High School has instituted its 1:1 Chromebook initiative and received a helping hand from the Richmond American Legion Post 740 by way of funding.

Legion members presented a $1,000 check to the school Feb. 28 to outfit seventh-graders with devices for more modern learning. Principal Matt Morrison said the initiative began this year in grades 7-12 and some of the 600 devices were received during that week. The plan is for students to gradually begin taking them home.

“The seventh-grade was given 120 new Chromebooks to take home this month for the rest of their tenure at EHS,” Morrison said. “Grades 7-9 will have their own devices at the beginning of the 2019-20 school year and we are planning for grades 10-12 to take them home sometime during the next school year.”

He added that each device, which includes a cover and charger, is worth approximately $300 and parents have the option to purchase annual insur-

ance. The high-tech tools also replace textbooks and save on costs in the process.

“We are no longer buying traditional textbooks for every subject,” Morrison continued.

“Five or more textbooks are worth more than one Chromebook,” he commented.

Morrison said he is grateful to the Legion for its ongoing support and said the group has been extremely active within the school district.

“They support our students in numerous activities such as Boys and Girls State and American Legion baseball. They make numerous monetary donations towards flags, library funding, literacy supplements and

Chromebooks,” Morrison said.

“They also provide an Americanism test competition that our students participate in,” he added.

Dan Vojvodich, Legion chaplain, said the veterans’ organization has been a longtime supporter of the school district and funds were raised through activities and donations.

“We donated $1,000 for Chromebooks for Edison High School to be a contributor to the education of our kids,” he said.

“Our purpose here is to try to help the schools any way we can through education. Good things happen in these schools,” Vojvodich said.

A variety of activities planned at John Gregg March is coming in like a lion at John Gregg Elementary School, which has a slew of events on the calendar during the first week.

Principal Tammy Burchfield said the school’s weekly Homework Huddle program is getting underway and community members are volunteering their time to assist students with completing homework, studying for tests and reviewing important basic skills. She added that the volunteers come equipped with experience, encouragement, patience and snacks. Homework Huddle is currently in its second year of implementation.

Meanwhile, a Bible study program is being organized through Mount Zion Church. It is open to students in grades K-6 and provides youth with some Biblical principles that will help develop patience, kindness, gentleness and self-control. Both activities run each Wednesday

from 4-5:15 p.m. at the school.

March Madness Week ensues with parent luncheons and student showcases planned throughout the first week of the month. Luncheons will be offered for grades 3-6 and their families from noon to 12:45 p.m. with student showcases to be held for grades PreK-2 from 3-3:45 p.m. The fifthgrade luncheon and first-grade student showcase are March 7; and the sixth-grade parent luncheon and second-grade student showcase March 8.

In addition, the school PTO will host its Spring Book Fair throughout the week and John Gregg will feature its annual art show and Math Family Night March 7 from 6-7:30 p.m.

A variety of fun math-based events will be available for the whole family in the gym and attendants can also peruse a series of original artwork created by the students in the art room.
