Cobblestone Inn set to open

By NANCY SCHAAR FPS Correspondent The Cobblestone Inn at Bluebird Park Farm will be open and serving delicious meals in a tranquil, historic setting. The restaurant is owned by Lisa Stansbury and will open for business April 16 to April 28 on a reservation only basis.

Lisa is very well known throughout the area as the owner/operator of the Airport Restaurant located at the Carroll County Airport. The Airport Restaurant is known for the wonderful homemade pies made by Lisa. She will continue to manage the Airport Restaurant and will still serve homemade, family style foods as well as their famous deserts.

The Cobblestone Inn is named for the cobblestones that are in the lower level that surround the original fireplace.

Fairy lights and many copper kitchen antiques on the mantle reflect the golden light. The walls show historical photos from around the county during the turn of the century.

The farm was originally owned by Christian Kintner who was a son of German immigrants and was born in 1784 in Pennsylvania. He and his wife, Elizabeth, came in a covered wagon to Ohio in 1816. From a government land grant, they purchased the old farm for $5 an acre. The original log cabin had a clapboard roof. This is before Carrollton, first called Centreville, was established.

The farm was owned by the LePine family from 1943 to 1964.

Richard and Joyce Hannon bought 55 acres of the farm in 1972. They lived there until 1987. In 1989 Joyce established the Bluebird Tea Room. During the next ten years, several old barns from before the Civil War were restored and became separate attractions at Bluebird. They were turned into a private residence, Susie’s Museum of Childhood, Hannon Hall and Joyce’s Garden Party Room.

The Bluebird Farm Amphitheater was constructed in 2003 and included stairs and roads for access to the amphitheater. Hannon’s held a grand opening in May of 2007 and in 2008 Joyce Hannon donated the Bluebird Farm Park to the Carroll County Park District.

The property is taken care of by the Carroll County Park District board.

Lisa and her husband, Harry Stansbury, began work at the Bluebird February 1, 2019. Meals will be served at both the upper and lower porches, the main dining room and in the history room.

“It needed a lot of cleaning. It had been empty for a long time and we did a lot of heavy cleaning,” said Lisa. It took a lot of cleaning to restore the original cobblestone fireplace in the lower level, according to Harry Stansbury.

They have done much more than

just clean. They have updated electrical components, plumbing, and the main floor of the restaurant is 100% handicapped accessible from the upper parking lot, which is reserved for handicapped accessible vehicles. There are ramps and railings in place to assist those that need a hand. Both agreed that they have painted every inch that had paint, leaving a clean, fresh look to the inn.

Serving as chef for The Cobblestone Inn will be Murray Williams, who was the chef at Knickers and at the McKinley Grand in Canton. Murray Williams III brings many years of chef experience with him. He began cooking with his father when he was just a kid. Murray Williams II was trained at Le Cordon Bleu.

“I handled between 400 to 500 weddings and other special events each year at McKinley Grand,” said Murray. He also catered hundreds of special events for the Hall of Fame festivities each year.

Murray was born in Kilgore and is glad to be closer to home and is excited about the plans for The Cobblestone Inn. Featured will be pasta, steak, seafood and chops.

“I am dedicated to making this a success. I want to give our guests a high quality dinner at a fair price in a relaxed atmosphere,” said Murray.

Hours are scheduled for Sunday, Tues-

day and Wednesday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.; Thursday, Friday and Saturday they will be open from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Extended hours will be made available this summer.

“We will serve one special a day, a catch of the day fish, crab or other seafood. We’ll also add prime rib as we get more established,” said Ashlee McCort Williams, daughter of Lisa Stansbury and wife to Murray Williams. Ashlee will be managing The Cobblestone Inn. One item featured on the dessert menu is homemade baked cheesecake.

After sampling this desert, I can promise that you will not have just one piece.

You will be coming back for more.

All pies will be made from scratch just as they at the Airport Restaurant. They will feature chocolate, peanut butter and pecan pies, as well as homemade tapioca and other specialties.

Gluten-free, vegetarian and vegan meals will also be available. Children will enjoy the items offered on their special menu, which of course includes sliders and chicken nuggets.

Lisa has purchased and installed new equipment including new freezers, ice machine, refrigerators, deep fryer, toaster oven and Panini grill. Harry said the park board has been wonderful. He said they have been very gracious and

Carroll County Sheriff Dale Williams sadly announced April 6 that they lost very special K-9 Deputy Oz. “It is with heavy hearts we report we have lost one of our own, retired K-9 Deputy Oz,” said Williams.

Deputy Oz had a very successful career with the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office. He has been enjoying his retirement since June of 2016. Oz was a great teacher to his younger brother, K-9 Otis.

Deputy Shane Beohm was the partner, dad and best friend of Deputy Oz. “Today we say goodbye. You entered our lives 12 ½ years ago and created an immediate bond. You were courageous, fearless and displayed sound

nerves. I admire your character and I’m most thankful for all of your accomplishments on the road. You made me a better deputy due to your resolve.

This hurts. Rest easy my friend,” stated Beohm.

Williams wanted to make sure county residents knew that not only did Oz excel at all of his duties, he was also responsible for the tracking and reprehending of murder suspect Wesley “Butch” Clark in 2015 during a multi-county manhunt.

The Sheriff and members of the sheriff’s department extend their sympathies and appreciation to Deputy Beohm.

“Thank you for your service Deputy Oz. We salute you,” said Williams.

Repella appoints drug court liaison Carroll County Common Pleas Court Judge Michael V. Repella II has created a new job position in the Carroll County Adult Probation Department to begin a Drug Court program.

Karley L. Fluharty has been appointed by Judge Repella as a Behavior Health and Drug Court liaison for the remainder of 2019.

According to Judge Repella, Fluharty is responsible for oversight of the new Drug Court Program and the bridge of communication amongst the court and corresponding agencies.

Fluharty graduated with honors in 2016 from Kaplan University, where she obtained her masters of science in psychology with a specialization in applied behavior analysis. She is an Ohio state board-certified chemical dependency counselor assistant in pursuit of board certification as a licensed chemical dependency counselor III. With experience working as a court liaison and in the field of addiction recovery, Fluharty says she is excited to bring a service that will enhance recovery, reduce recidivism, and better the overall quality of life to individuals in need in Carroll County.

Judge Repella said Fluharty will also be instrumental in obtaining the Court of Common Pleas certification for a Special-

KARLEY FLUHARTY ty Drug Court docket. “The Drug Court Program will give those struggling with addiction a second chance at a new beginning,” Repella said.

“This is a process that requires the Supreme Court of Ohio’s oversite and approval,” he added.

In addition, Fluharty will be responsible for the administration and oversight of the Court’s new State Opioid Response grant for $53,000, which was awarded to Carroll County to help those affected by opioid addiction, the judge explained.

Grand jury returns six indictments In a half-day session Wednesday, April 3, the Carroll County grand jury returned six indictments after hearing testimony for nine witnesses.

According to Carroll County Prosecuting Attorney Steven D. Barnett, indictments were returned against the following: - AMBER W. WISE, 26, of 106 Liberty St., Amsterdam, and TYSHAUN MILLER, 40, of 832 S. Arch St., Alliance, who were each indicted on one count of possession of heroin, a 5th degree felony; one count of possessing drugs and one count of possession of dangerous drugs, both 1st degree misdemeanors.

Wise also was indicted on an additional count of possessing drug abuse instruments, a 2nd degree misdemeanor, and Miller was indicted on an additional count of obstructing official business, a 2nd degree misdemeanor, and one count of drug paraphernalia offenses, a 4th degree misdemeanor.

Prosecutor Barnett said Miller allegedly misled officers as to his identity following a March 4 traffic stop in the village of Carrollton.

Subsequently when positive identification was made, officers determined Miller had an outstanding arrest warrant and was taken into custody, where a search of his person found a small set of scales. Search of the motor vehicle revealed suspected heroin, buprenorphine and trazadone, as well as syringes.

- HARVEY L. STRAUSBAUGH, 54, of 6345 Center St. SW, Carrollton, was indicted on one count of domestic violence, a 3rd degree felony.

It is alleged that Strausbaugh assaulted a family member Feb. 5 at his Perry Twp. residence, having a previous conviction for domestic violence.

Barnett said the Grand Jury returned an indictment against Strausbaugh during its March

session. However, while his case was proceeding, it was discovered that Strausbaugh had a second previous conviction of domestic violence, which aggravated the current charge to a felony of the third degree.

Barnett said that this indictment supersedes the previous indictment that was filed and was necessary to reflect the appropriate level of the charge.

- MELISSA J. BLACKBURN, 42, of 1131 Ardmore Ave. SW, Canton, was indicted on one count of grand theft, a 3rd degree felony. It is alleged that Blackburn stole a muzzle loading rifle March 13 from a Carrollton area business.

- SHAUN C. CLARK, 40, of 10125 Steubenville Pike Rd., Lisbon, was indicted on one count of illegal conveyance of drugs of abuse onto grounds of a detention facility, a 3rd degree felony. It is alleged that Clark was discovered to have brought fentynal into the Carroll County Jail March 20 after being booked in for an outstanding warrant.

- TERRY W. LAMBERT JR., 43, of 2207 Magnolia Rd. NW, Magnolia, was indicted on one count of domestic violence, a 4th degree felony. It is alleged that Lambert assaulted a family member at his Magnolia area residence March 28. It is also alleged that Lambert was previously convicted of domestic violence in Carroll County in 2018.

Arraignments for those indicted will be held before Judge Michael V. Repella II in the Carroll County Court of Common Pleas Thursday, April 11, beginning at 8:30 a.m.

Barnett also said that in addition to the regularly scheduled sessions of the Grand Jury every other month, the Grand Jury may meet monthly as needed to ensure better case management flow within the court and jail.

New pots and pans and most of the kitchen equipment is all new too. Harry said they also purchased a state of the art ordering system so the servers can place an order directly to the kitchen staff from the lower level, the porches or the main dining room.

The restaurant has passed all of the county and state inspections.

They have been inspected but have not received notification of the approval of their liquor license yet, but they do expect to receive that in a few days. Ashlee said they will offer a full bar for guests.

“This is fine dining. This is a great atmosphere. It is very relaxing and peaceful here. The Airport Restaurant is more like a diner, a mom and pop diner.

The Cobblestone Inn will be much different. This will be fine dining,” said Lisa.

Easter will feature a plated

lunch. They are only accepting reservations for lunch on Easter.

Deadline to make reservations for Easter is April 16 and there are only a few remaining spots on that list.

Harry has done a great deal of work in preparing The Cobblestone for opening. He has painted, made repairs and brought in many supplies they will need.

“Most people don’t know you can rent a room and stay and Bluebird Park too. Cabins are available for overnight stays and you can rent a room at Hannon Hall. The park is set up for weddings and receptions can be handled by the staff too,” said Harry.

New signage is being installed and a new website is being designed and will be available soon. You can almost smell the delicious food that is coming your way.

Interest is increased on county funds

By NANCY SCHAAR FPS Correspondent Carroll County Treasurer Jeff Yeager presented the first quarter investment report to commissioners.

Yeager said the total funds in all accounts are $44,552,843. At this point last year, the county had $40,975,789 held in investment accounts.

Interest rates have shown an increase and Yeager is pleased to see the difference. At the end of the first quarter in 2018, the county had received $34,145.

This year the first quarter shows $48,469 gained in interest.

Most accounts in 2018 had a rate of 1.25 percent. Rates at this time are slightly higher at slightly more than 2%.

“The rate is about the same as last year but it is up a little bit.

It has leveled off in the last six months,” said Yeager.

Commissioners granted a request to use several parking spaces in the lot behind the courthouse reserved for employees. Owner Fred Tarr asked for the space for about a week in order to place a dumpster to contain the old roof that is to be removed and a new metal roof will be placed on his building.

Tarr will pay rent for the spaces he uses during that time.

A public hearing was held Monday to determine whether Pollard Road should be vacated or not. Pollard is located in Center Township.

The portion of road in question has not been used by the public for a very long time, according to County Engineer Brian Wise. The road is about .31 miles long. Wise also said that currently all parcels have contiguous ownership so that all owners of land against the road have access to it from any areas of their property.

Cole and Emma Johnston presented a petition signed by other home owners on that section of road stating their desire to keep it as a road.

Commissioners Bob Wirkner and Lewis Mickley both voted against vacating the road at this time. Wirkner said we don’t know what the future needs for this road or these properties may be.

Emma Johnston told commissioners they would go back to the township trustees and ask them to open and maintain the road.

FPS Correspondent At the April meeting of the Dellroy Village Council, several residents were in attendance to express their concern about pests and trash in the Village.

Resident Betty London told Council that she is experiencing a problem with rats coming onto her property, she believes this is from a chicken coup across the street.

Mayor Doug Ruby reported that the Village has an Ordinance governing the keeping of animals in the Village, and he has spoken with the County Sheriff’s office about enforcement.

Solicitor Jenna Hokes advised that rats are a public nuisance and if their origin can be proven, charges can be filed.

Melissa and Micah Williams were present to tell Council that they are fed up with the trash, beer cans, fast food containers and debris that is being allowed to accumulate. The Williams’ said that they are interested in selling their home and moving out of the Village, but the state

of the town makes it very difficult to sell.

Ruby said that he is in total agreement with the Williams’ and feels that Dellroy very much needs a thorough clean up.

A lengthy discussion took place regarding the matters of animals and trash. Hokes explained the legal procedures to address and resolve these matters, she suggested issuing letters first, and allowing 10 days for compliance before taking further legal action.

Council President Joe Mabie suggested that he and Mayor Ruby approach the residents of the properties in question first, he said he felt it would be a more neighborly way to address the issue.

Hokes advised that a personal approach is fine and explained further steps to pursue legally, should they be necessary. Hokes also advised that Council let the County Sheriff’s Department notify those in violation of the Village’s animal ordinance.

In other business, Council discussed with Dawnette Lawther, representative of the Village’s volunteer Fire Department, rental of the Community Building for Aug. 14-18 for the an-

nual Firemen’s Festival. Council agreed on the discounted $75 per day rental fee, instead of the full $150.

In other action Council: - Approved ABATE Motorcycle Awareness Day request.

- Heard Mabie report that there are no changes at Atwood Regional Water and Sewer District.

- Agreed to obtain some estimates to chip and seal several alleys in the Village.

- Approved an estimate from Dan’s Electric in the amount of $1,615 for electrical updates.

- Tabled setting a date for Village yard sales in August.

- Heard fund balances reported as follows: $50,523.55 in the General Fund, $8,499.56 in the Street Fund and $2,160.17 in the State Highway Fund.

- Heard receipts of the Community Building reported at $450 with expenses of $666.64.

Lest We Forget

By CAPT. CHARLES PEARSON

U.S. Marine Corps, ret.

One of nine children, Vincent R. Capodanno was ordained a Maryknoll priest in June 1957.

He devoted the next seven years of his life to missionary work in the Far East.

Compelled with a strong desire to serve his God and his country where he was most needed, he applied for service with the Navy Chaplain Corps in July 1965. He specifically requested duty with the Marines in South Vietnam. Father Capodanno joined the 1st Marine Division in April 1966.

As Chaplain Capodanno’s one-year tour neared completion, he volunteered to serve an additional six months. The request was granted. The priest took a 30-day leave and visited family and friends in New Jersey. Upon his return to South Vietnam, he received an assignment to the 5th Marines who were then operating in the Hiep Duc Valley, west of Ky in Quang Tin Province.

The Marines of his new regiment soon learned that Father Capodanno was one of them.

The priest lived and worked alongside the men, sharing the hardships and dangers.

Early on the morning of Sept.

4, 1967, Company D, 1st Battalion, 5th Marines was badly mauled by a strong force of Viet Cong near Dong Son in the Hiep Duc Valley. Reinforcements were rushed to the scene of action. Chaplain Capodanno asked to accompany the reinforcements. Initially his request was denied, but the priest persisted and the battalion commander gave his okay.

Helicopters carried the Marines to a landing zone four miles from the battlefield.

Chaplain Capodanno was sent to the company command post and the men headed for the battlefield. As the lead platoon descended the crest of a hill, the enemy struck with a fury. From

the relative safety of the company command post on the back of the hill, Chaplain Capodanno heard the screams and cries of the wounded. He voluntarily left the command group to help. Completely ignoring the heavy volume of enemy fire, the chaplain moved throughout the battlefield giving aid to the wounded and administered his church’s Last Rites to the dying.

One of the men Capodanno tended was Sgt. Lawrence D. Peters, a squad leader. Peters had distinguished himself by ignoring the enemy fire to point out targets for his men.

Even after Peters was severely wounded, he continued to lead his men. Although Peters lay in an open area, Father Capodanno ran toward him through the scrub bush. An enemy mortar round exploded behind him and a large chunk of shrapnel ripped into his right shoulder.

With blood streaming down from his shoulder, he made it to Peters and prayed with him until Peters died. Peters was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor on April 20, 1970.

Throughout the long fight, Chaplain Capodanno persisted in seeking out those in need despite his wound and the gunfire sweeping the hillside. The chaplain then spotted a wounded corpsman and tried to pull him to safety. At the same time, he saw an enemy machine gunner aiming at a pair of Marines.

Father Capodanno dashed the best he could toward them drawing their fire. His bullet-ridden body was recovered later that night. He had been shot 27 times. On Jan. 7, 1969, Father Capodanno’s brother, James, accepted his Posthumous Medal of Honor.

Those men and all who serve are serving you and I. No greater love can one show his fellow man than to give his life to serve you. Please remember to keep all of our service men and women and their families in your prayers.

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

Letters to the Editor Look out 18 to 21 year olds, the Carrollton Council is coming after one of your rights. How you may ask?

They want to strip your legal right to decide whether you want to purchase tobacco or vape products. You are old enough to vote, give your life defending your country, enter in a legal contract and legally be considered an adult at 18, but it means nothing to the council. Taking away a right just because they don’t like your choices.

The council said they really didn’t have a problem raising the age to 21. If this passes, so not to be considered hypocrites, the council should push for all rights of being an adult to 21 just to be fair.

Randy Miller Carrollton Dear Editor: Having watched demonstrations by anti-va, BLM (Black Lives Matter), some college students and other groups disrupting, destroying and harassing anyone who disagrees with them, I haven’t heard the word “racist” very much until these people got together a couple of years back. Now all Trump supporters are racist ... Really?

I belive most people feel like “We didn’’t come over on the same boat, but we all are in the same boat now.”

Looking back on my past history, I have never owned a slave and never desired to have one, plus it would just be another tax burden on myself. I also looked into my Family Tree relatives going back to 1800s. I found no “racist” there either. But I did find out one of my relatives did marry a full-blooded Native American. If only I knew that at the time, I may have been able to check that box under race and got a better education. Also, I did find one familymember was pretty wealthy, but would have to call him a “Tight Wad,” instead of “racist,” because I wasn’t in his will.

I’m tired of hearing this word “racist,” since I believe there are very little racists in our country anymore. I do remember having a black cat and a white cat at one time. I believe I treated them equal, but do remember giving the white one an extra treat to eat one day. I guess it’s something I’ll have to live with the rest of my life, if these groups still like using the word “racist” on everything.

When I was in the military, our members came in all kinds of skin shades, religion and nationality. The worst I ever saw was personality conflicts, but other than that we all looked out for each other.

That’s the way our country should be like now instead of being divided.

I remember Khrushchev saying, “America will destroy itself from within” back in the 1960s. True American citizens need to really wake up and be aware of what’s going on in our country.

Respectfully, Harold M. Shurtz Carrollton

Applause To the Editor: The HARCATUS Family Support Office in Carrollton would like to extend our sincere gratitude to the Dollar Tree for their very generous support in 2018. Their donations made our Back-To-School and Holiday Give-a-way/toy drive a huge success and helped many Carroll County families. We truly appreciate their support.

A special thank you to Belinda Mach for her support throughout the years.

We have accomplished so much by simply bringing smiles to worried faces and made the quality of life better for families who have fallen on hard times. Not every adult that comes to our office qualifies for the programs we offer, but no one in need is turned away when it comes to the holidays. We have a little of everything in our Community Clothing Closet, something for adults/children of all ages and interests.

We want to take this time to thank some of the many individuals, organizations and businesses that have partnered with us through the years: Tim and Charlotte Johnson, Betty Ames, Ron Shockley, Mr. and Mrs. Dirienzo, Roger and Bargie Barto, Vo Ash Chapel, Bonnie Shockley, St. Francis Xavier Church, St. Gabriel Church, Sherrodsville Lions Club, Roger and Kathy Greene, Jewel Gallon, Sid Popovich, Carrollton High School teachers, staff and students, Loretta Dobos, Carroll County PAC Committee, and the ladies with Twice Around for Kids and Ben and Marvel Boggess for your continued support.

A special thank you to our wonderful volunteers: Martha McIntire, Sue Erwin, Terry Small and Marsha Logan. We have many more partnerships than space will allow us to name, but each is precious to us in their own special way.

Pastor Kimberly Arbaugh says “The object of the ‘Way of the Cross,’ is to help the faithful make a spiritual pilgrimage of prayer through meditating upon the central scenes of Christ’s sufferings and death.

The 14 stations on the journey serve as a stark reminder of the humbleness in which Jesus was willing to provide a path to salvation for others through His sacrifice,” she added.

“What a better way to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus than with an Easter sunrise service on the Square?” The public is invited to join church members Easter Sunday at 6:30 a.m.

on the Square in downtown Carrollton for a time of worship and reflection.

The service will last approximately 40 minutes and is open to everyone who should dress for the weather. In case of inclement weather, the sunrise service will be held at Carrollton First UMC on the corner of S. Lisbon St. and 3rd St. SE. “Those unable to make it to the sunrise service is invited to join us for our regular Easter services at 8:15 and 10:45 at Carrollton First UMC (located across from the post office) or at 10 a.m. at The Bridge at the Fairgrounds,” Pastor Arbaugh said.

Change Change is all around us - some good and some not so good.

Change affects us all differently. I am not telling you anything you don’t already know, after all this isn’t rocket science. I am also sure that like me you can think of times when you have not handled yourself well in the midst of change and can think of times when you have been a champion role model for how to act. Can you be honest enough with yourself to recognize those times? Do you stand up tall and act like a strong person or do you throw a fit when things don’t go your way?

Romans 12:2 says, “And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.”

In the midst of change are you allowing the actions of the world to transform you or are you standing strong in the word of God and being the change the world needs? I challenge you to take a deep breath and look at how you are interacting with the world and the change in your life.

Hi kids! I am about to share a cool classic tale with you about a rabbit.

It was written by Beatrix Potter in 1902. It was her first published book. Speaking about a rabbit, I have two in my backyard right now eating the birdseed I put out each morning. As of yesterday, I was feeding only one rabbit. It was also eating alongside a squirrel and a morning dove. But today I have two. They are both the same size so they must be the best of friends or their mate!

Back to our story. The illustrations featured are all-new by Cindy Thornton.

She is a renowned contemporary illustrator who lives in Orlando, Florida.

It seems like she has given Peter Rabbit a whole new life!

In case you didn’t know, Peter Rabbit is a favorite furry friend to people of all ages. The idea for Peter Rabbit came from the love of the countryside. Miss Potter spent most of her childhood studying and drawing animals. I thought this would be a delightful book to share at Eastertime.

By Sherry Kline Bolitho

When you think about it, for those of you who love to write or draw, or both, you could create such a story. Use your imagination. Put it on paper and run with your ideas! Who knows what the future may hold just for you? Soon you will be out of school and you will have more time to be creative!

Until next time, Happy Easter!

Your friend, Sherry Sherry Kline Bolitho Children’s Book Title: Peter Rabbit Author: Beatrix Potter Illustrated by: Cindy Thornton Publisher: Racehorse for Young Readers Price: $12.99 Age group: 4-Adult Available at the Carroll County District Library Peter Rabbit has a rebellious side to him. Even though his mother tells him to stay out of Mr. McGregor’s garden, he soon disobeys her wishes.

He is the local farmer who seems to have everything a rabbit would want and more. Colorful illustrations highlight the trouble brewing between Peter and Mr. McGregor.

Soon, Peter finds himself in a whole lot of trouble. Of all the living creatures sharing Peter’s world, who do you think helped him the most?

And, what do you think happens to him when he gets home?

Spring Home Improvement Lighting is a key component of your home’s curb appeal Curb appeal can affect prospective buyers’ perception of a home. When addressing curb appeal, homeowners may be inclined to focus on features that are easily seen from the street during the day. But what can a homeowner do to improve on his or her home’s nighttime aesthetic?

Outdoor lighting is one aspect of curb appeal that is often overlooked, advises the home improvement experts at The Spruce. Homeowners may fail to recognize the importance of how proper illumination can provide their homes with a warm glow and make it look beautiful after the sun has set.

For example, think of how cozy and inviting neighborhoods appear during the holiday season when homes are strung with twinkling lights. Homeowners can replicate that look all year long with lighting elements.

Lighting for evening hours also helps maintain a safe environment for people who are visiting the property. Illuminating walkways and doorways provides a clearly visible and safe path to and from the home.

The following are a few ways to improve outdoor lighting.

• Focus on architectural features. Outdoor lighting can focus on the external features of the home’s architectural style.

Use light to draw attention to interesting gables, dramatic roof lines, dormers, or curved entryways.

• Play up landscaping. Stylish lighting can highlight trees, shrubs, pathways, gardens, and

all of the elements of softscapes and hardscapes on a property.

The lighting experts at Vernon Daniel Associates say that soft lighting can make homes feel warm and cozy. Uplighting trees or other elements can add a dramatic effect.

• Light up all doors. Make sure that doors, both entry and garage, are properly lit for ease of entry and egress from the home. Safety.com, a home and personal security resource, says a home burglary occurs every 15 seconds in the United States.

Installing motion-activated lights or lights on timers can deter break-ins. Consider using home automation to control porch lights and other outdoor lights remotely, if necessary.

• Create entertaining areas.

Outdoor lighting can be used to extend the hours residents can spend outside. This is great for entertaining and can be an excellent selling point.

Homeowners are urged not to overlook outdoor lighting as a vital part of their plan to improve curb appeal.

Tree services can protect your property Cold weather can take its toll on a property, especially in regions of the world where winters are harsh. Most parts of the landscape are vulnerable to damage from winter storms, but trees may be especially susceptible. By the end of winter, many homeowners wonder if their trees would benefit from some professional TLC. Tree services provide a host of services. While fall is a popular time to remove trees from a property, doing so in spring is not unheard of, especially if trees were affected by winter storms and now pose a threat to a home and the people who live inside it.

Homeowners considering tree services can explore the following ways that some professional arbor attention can protect them and their homes.

• Tree services can help protect a home’s foundation. Old trees that stretch well into the sky can be captivating, but they also can pose a threat to a home’s foundation. Such trees may have especially large root zones that may extend beneath walkways and even a home. In the latter instance, foundations may crack as roots try to stake their claim to the ground beneath a home. According to the home improvement resource HomeAdvisor, homeowners pay an average of just over $4,000 to repair foundation issues, though major problems can cost considerably more than that. A professional tree service can remove aging trees that might be beautiful and awe-inspiring but still pose a threat to a home and the areas surrounding it.

• Tree services can improve visibility. Trees that have aged a bit since their last trimming

might affect the view of a property from inside a home.

Overgrown branches can compromise residents’ ability to see and experience the natural beauty just outside their windows. The average homeowner may be able to trim short trees on his or her own, but if views from the second floor of a home or higher have been compromised, it’s much safer to call a professional tree service. Such services have the right tools and experienced personnel necessary to safely trim high branches on tall trees.

• Tree services can help prevent future damage. Even if trees made it through a recent winter unscathed, that’s no guarantee next winter or even the coming seasons of spring, summer and fall won’t ultimately prove their undoing.

Travelers Insurance notes that weather-related roof damage, including damage resulting from falling limbs and branches weighed down by snow during the winter months, accounted for more than half of all Travelers property loss claims between 2009 and 2016. According to BNC Insurance and Risk Advisors, homeowners may be liable if a tree they knew posed a threat falls onto a passerby or a neighbor’s property and causes damage or injury. Having all trees properly trimmed each year, but especially those that can fall on your home and your neighbors’ homes, may prevent future damage and legal issues.

Tree services can ensure trees maintain their awe-inspiring beauty and help homeowners protect their homes and their belongings.

Restore rusty tools with vinegar

Many people may be tempted to discard rusty tools that have gone unused and sat in a garage or shed for a significant period of time.

But tools encrusted with rust do not need to be relegated to the trash bin, nor do gardeners have to toil for hours scraping and sanding off the rust. There’s a much easier way to restore rusty tools that relies on a common household ingredient: vinegar.

P E P L A L’S H C

Pour vinegar into a deep enough vessel to submerge the metal part of the tool. Soak the tool overnight. The next day, use a scouring pad to rub off the rust. If the tool is too big to fit into a can or bucket, simply wrap it with a vinegar-soaked rag and cover the whole tool with a tightly secured plastic bag. Follow the same procedure the next day. After all the rust is gone, rinse the tool in cool water and dry thoroughly. Then return it to regular usage.

Spring Home Improvement Tips for finding a home services provider

Draw inspiration from those budding crocuses and daffodils pushing through the last remnants of snow and employ these tips to prepare for the upcoming gardening season.

Get Ready: Early spring landscaping tips During the cold months of winter, many people stare longingly out of the window dreaming of spring and time spent outdoors. For those with green thumbs, images of tending to the garden and other aspects of their landscapes no doubt dominate such daydreams.

Draw inspiration from those budding crocuses and daffodils pushing through the last remnants of snow and employ these tips to prepare for the upcoming gardening season.

• One of the first steps is to apply a preemergent weed killer to get a head start knocking out weeds that can plague the lawn during the growing season. Killing weeds at the roots early on can mean far fewer hassles in spring and summer, and may prevent new generations of weeds from cropping up each year.

• While it may be tempting to take a prematurely warm day as a sign that spring is in full force and purchase a bunch

of annuals, it’s better to know the last of the possible frost dates (check “The Farmer’s Almanac”); otherwise, you may waste time and money planting flowers or vegetables only to have them zapped by another frosty day.

• Amend the soil so that it is the right consistency — just crumbling when lifting it. Soil that is too muddy after spring thaw can harden, making it difficult for plants to flourish later on. Speak with representatives at a local lawn and garden center about which types of amendments you can add to the soil in your particular area to enrich it.

• Lawn and garden experts at The Home Depot suggest filling in bare patches of lawn now by mixing a few shovelfuls of soil with grass seed. Then apply this patch to the bare areas, water, and continue to care for the area until the spot fills in.

• Spend a day in the garage or shed tending to the lawn

mower and other gardening equipment. Clean all tools and ensure that everything works, repairing parts as needed.

• Give outdoor entertaining spaces a good scrubbing, clearing away dirt and grime that may have accumulated over the winter. Use a leaf blower to blow away any leftover leaves.

• Check if the front porch, railings or decking need painting and/or staining. Tackle these projects when the weather is cooler so everything will be ready for those peak spring days.

• Think about any annuals you might want to plant in the landscape this year that will complement any existing shrubbery or perennials. Come up with a theme so that the entire yard is cohesive.

Before homeowners know it, winter is gone and it is time to once again enjoy long days spent outdoors. Get a jump start on spring lawn prep as soon as you can.

How to spot a grub infestation Many an amateur landscaper has encountered grubs while tending to their lawns, but even the most attentive green thumber may have a lawn infested with grubs and not know it.

According to the pest and weed experts at Roundup®, grubs often go unnoticed until late summer, when they’ve already done substantial damage to a lawn. Oddly enough, one

of the telltales signs of a grub infestation is not the grubs themselves, but the animals looking to dine on them.

Fully grown grubs make for hearty meals, so homeowners who notice raccoons, skunks, armadillos, and/or birds digging up their lawns may have a grub infestation. That’s because these unwanted guests like to dine on mature grubs who have

spent summer feasting on organic matter in the soil.

Another sign of a possible grub infestation is a lawn that feels spongy when stepped on.

Patches of dead grass that peel back easily are a sign that grubs have eaten the roots that keep healthy grass in place.

Homeowners who are good with their hands can tackle many minor home improvements on their own. However, more complicated projects often require the services of professional contractors to ensure the renovations are done right, completed on time and within budget.

Choosing a home services provider requires careful consideration on the part of homeowners. The wrong contractor can cost homeowners time and money, so homeowners must exercise due diligence when vetting contractors before going forward with a home improvement project.

Types of contractors The Federal Trade Commission notes that the scope of a project may necessitate hiring various types of contractors.

The more complex a project is, the more likely it is that homeowners will need to hire contractors who specialize in certain areas. Understanding the differences between contractors can help homeowners make informed decisions.

• General contractor: General contractors manage home improvement projects. This includes hiring subcontractors and supervising their work.

General contractors also secure building permits and schedule inspections.

• Specialty contractors: Specialty contractors focus on specific areas of a project. For example, homeowners who are remodeling their kitchens may need new cabinets installed by a contractor who specializes in cabinets and cabinet installation. That contractor is a specialty contractor.

• Designer or design/build contractor: The FTC notes that these contractors both design and build projects.

• Architects: Architects design homes as well as any additions or major renovations to homes.

Architects are often necessary when projects involve structural changes to existing homes.

Hiring a home services provider Once homeowners determine which type of contractor they need, they can they begin researching local professionals.

• Speak with neighbors, family and friends. Neighbors, family members and friends who have worked with contractors in the past are great resources.

Seek recommendations from people you trust, even asking to see completed projects if possible.

The wrong contractor can cost homeowners time and money, so homeowners must exercise due diligence when vetting contractors before going forward with a home improvement project.

• Utilize the internet. Websites such as HomeAdvisor and Angie’s List are free of charge and can be great resources when homeowners are looking for contractors. Each site includes reviews of contractors from past customers and contact information for local contractors.

• Confirm qualifications. The FTC advises homeowners to confirm contractors’ licensing and qualifications before hiring anyone. Some areas may not require licensing, but many do.

Homeowners can contact their local building department or consumer protection agency to determine the licensing requirements for their area.

Hiring a home services provider is a complicated process that can be made easier by homeowners who do their research and take the decision seriously.

CHS baseball team wins first game against Beaver

By CHRIS MODRANSKI

Sports Writer

The Carrollton Warriors baseball team got on the board early and finished strong to earn the team’s first win of the season against Beaver Local, as well as Brian Connelly’s first win as the Warriors new head coach Saturday.

Six different players scored seven runs in Carrollton’s a 7-4 over the Beavers.

Carrollton scored three runs in the first inning and then finished with four runs in the sixth inning.

“We have had the lead in every game this season but didn’t finish. We would hang our heads as soon as something went wrong. That’s in the past from this point forward. We had a ton of energy today from the time they arrived at the field at 10:30am. From the first pitch of the game, the boys were ready and hungry for a win,” Connelly said following the Warriors win. “We’ve been close and today they stamped one with a great four-run sixth inning and Josh Shepherd made two great catches with last one a complete highlight film diving catch that ended it. I’m happy for these guys. They have worked extremely hard and we’re just getting started.”

The Warriors had seven hits on 24 at bats and received four walks while only striking out three times during the game. Carrollton left six base runners stranded on base.

“The thing I like the most about them is they are very coachable and are getting better and better because of our work ethic. If we continue to be unselfish and accept roles and situations this group will bring back

Carrollton Baseball. I saw some of that today. Winning is fun. That’s what we want to do” said Connelly.

Evan Lewis went five and two-third innings while giving up seven hits, four runs, two walks and fanned four. Chris Gromley went one and one-third innings and picked up the save with an efficient pitch selection of 25 strikes and 15 balls.

First year coach Connelly said “It’s nice to get the first win as the Carrollton coach but this was the kids first win this year. That’s more important. The hustle and guts they showed was what I’ll remember.”

Carrollton dropped an Eastern Buckeye conference (EBC) match up with Marlington Dukes this past Wednesday with a final score of 7-3.

Carrollton scored their only runs during the first inning of the game and then gave up six hits and committed six errors giving the Dukes the lift they needed to get the victory.

Caden Buxton went 3-for-4 on the day and crossed home plate once.

The Warriors pitched by committee during the game. Brody Wade threw for two innings giving up three hits and four runs while walking six batters.

Buxton went four innings giving up two hits, two runs and striking out three batters. Lewis came in seventhinning and only gave up one hit while recording one strike out.

Carrollton is scheduled to have a home and away matchup against the Minerva Lions on Tuesday and Wednesday and will play host to the New Philadelphia Quakers on Saturday with a 3 p.m. first pitch.

Sandy Valley strikes revenge against Indian Valley Braves

By JORDAN MILLER

Sports Editor

CARROLLTON - The Sandy Valley Lady Cardinals lost a tough game to the Indian Valley Braves last Tuesday 4-2 but rebounded with a 3-1 win Saturday.

The two teams competed in a tripleheader hosted at Carrollton Saturday and faced each other in the second

game of the afternoon.

“Today we were able to come up with timely hits especially in the bottom of the sixth inning,” Sandy Valley Coach Cortney Geiger said following the win.

“This was a huge win for us against a great team.”

The Lady Cardinals are now 7-2 on the year and will host Buckeye Trail Friday at 5 p.m.

MILLERSBURG - The Carrollton girls track team has been on a roll this season, and they weren’t slowing down at all Saturday when they traveled to West Holmes for the Knights Invitational.

Trailing entering the final race of the day, Carrollton’s 4x400 relay team of Cindy Lewis, Jillian Rinkes, Josie Burgett and Micah Donley, knew winning was the only option.

“The girls had come to the coaches with about 3 events left in the meet getting nervous, which they always do even if the meet isn't depending on it,” Carrollton Head Coach Lindsay Traver said. “We told them, as we always do, that it's going to come down to the 4x4. During the boys 3200m run they announced the scores with one event left and we were down three points, which meant we needed to outscore Tusky Valley by at least 4 points to win the meet. Across the field you could see that set in for the girls.”

The relay team stepped up their game down the home stretch to steal the win with a time of 4:13.92.

“Cindy, Jillian, and Josie ran a great race, passing other athletes down the homestretch, giving Micah the baton with a lead that she extended. There is only one word that explains their expressions as they completed their lap around the track... determination.”

The Lady Warriors won the invitational with 106 points. Indian Valley finished in a close second with 105 points.

Carrollton senior Alivia Bentley dominated the shot put and discus events, setting invitational records in both events.

She recorded a throw of 45’ 11.25” in the shot put. The second closest throw was from Philo’s Jacelyn Wigal who threw 37’ 1.25”.

In the discus event, Alivia Bentley set the meet record with a throw of 129’ 8”. Wigal finished second with a throw of 109’ 5”.

Donley took control of the sprints, winning the 400 with a time of 1:00.17. She also won the 200 with a time of 26.00 and placed third in the 100-meter dash with a time of 12.89.

Carrollton senior Mac Tubaugh competed in the pole vault, an event Carrollton has never had, for the first time, placing third after clearing a height of 9’. She also placed seventh in

the long jump with a jump of 14’ 7” and seventh in the high jump with a jump of 4’ 6”.

Tubuagh recorded a time of 16.80 in the 100-hurdles, finishing fourth, while teammate Layna Pasiuk placed fifth with a time of 16.90.

Pasiuk also placed 10th in the 300hurdles with a time of 55.08.

Elizabeth Potts, Rinkes, Lewis and Pasiuk combined for a first-place finish in the 4x200 race with a time of 1:51.24. The same four placed fourth in the 4x100 with a time of 52.87.

Ridgewood won the event with a time of 52.22.

Carrollton freshman Camryn Barker placed fifth in the 1,600 with a time of 5:52.36. Keane placed 16th in the event with a time of 6:42.91.

The Lady Warriors 4x800 relay team of Alli Stackhouse, Tessa Bodo, Mary Keane and Ella Little placed sixth with a time of 11:29.02.

Burgett placed fifth in the 800 with a time of 2:38.54. Lewis placed sixth

with a time of 2:39.96.

Amanda Bentley placed sixth in shot with a throw of 32’ 2.25”. She recorded a throw of 83’ 8” in discus to place 12th.

“Our girls are absolutely pushing each other to get better, as well as pushing themselves to get better. At practices, they naturally pair up in ways that make them to compete against someone of similar ability and push each other through workouts,” Traver said. “At Marlington on Tuesday, some of our leaders asked us for a harder workout on Wednesday or Thursday because they were ready to, as they said, ‘get in shape’. As coaches, we don't want to overtrain our athletes early in the season because this can lead to injuries and peaking too early, but this was great to hear. As a team, they see their potential and are hungry to get better.”

The Lady Warriors will be back in action Saturday at Sandy Valley to compete in the Lidderdale Invitational.

It’s Garage Sale Season!

Advertise in the Free Press Standard today!

Get rid of your unwanted items, declutter your house and make some money!

It’s a win-win-win wiith the Free Press Standard.

Call Doji at 330-627-5591 by noon Monday to get in that week’s classifieds.

Then sell-sell-sell.

Tips for a Successful Garage Sale Instead of giving away unwanted items that have gathered dust around the house, many people turn to garage and yard sales to transform their clutter into some extra money.

Yard sales may not be a “get rich quick� scheme, but they present an environmentally friendly way to clean up a home. What’s more, they can be an ideal way to connect with neighbors and meet new people. Any money earned is an added bonus.

Statistics collecting resource Statistics Brain says that roughly 165,000 yard/garage sales take place in the United States each week. Nearly 700,000 people purchase something at those sales, leading to millions of dollars exchanging hands.

Yard sales may seem straightforward, but there are a few strategies to ensure such sales go boom rather than bust.

Choose the right date & time Plan when to hold the sale by looking at the calendar and choosing an open weekend. Many people host their yard sales on Friday, Saturday or Sunday mornings, theorizing that this is when the most people will be free to browse their wares.

Begin early in the morning so that shoppers will not need to disrupt their schedules much to visit neighborhood sales. A 7 a.m. start time will attract the early birds and free up most of the day.

Advertise the sale To reach the maximum number of shoppers, advertise your sale in

various ways. Signage around the neighborhood announcing the sale is one method. Signs should be bold, simple and easily readable for passing motorists.

Place ads in local newspapers, online and on grocery store bulletin boards, and use social media to spread the word of the sale even further. Be sure to give ample notice of the sale so that shoppers can mark their calendars.

Make for easy browsing Arrange goods for sale into categories and pay attention to presentation. You may generate more sales if items are easy to see and browsing is made easy. Put items you expect to draw the most attention popular near the end of the driveway to entice passers-by.

A neat and inviting appearance

also may convey that you’ve taken care of your home and your belongings. Play some music and offer light refreshments to create a convivial atmosphere.

Price things reasonably It’s tempting to overprice items, but a good rule of thumb is to mark things for one-half to onethird of the original value. Be open to negotiation, but try to haggle with a “buy one get one� approach, rather than marking down the price considerably. After all, the goal is to get rid of as many items as possible, with financial gain a distant second.

Yard sales are popular ways to make money and clear homes of unwanted items. Hosts can make their sales even more successful by employing a few simple strategies.

Community Hospice holds ribbon cutting at new site

HOF from PG. 4 Distinguished Service Award by the Carrollton Jaycees in 1984 and received the Carroll County Chamber of Commerce President’s Award in 2010.

In submitting his nomination for Wohlwend to be considered an Outstanding Alumnus and be inducted into the Hall of Fame, Smith said: “This is only my opinion, but I sincerely believe that in service to community there is no one – no one – that even comes close to what my friend Bill has done for ‘his’ community.

“Bill was the one who taught me all about community service and he did it not by telling me how or why it was important, but by showing me. Some people will say that they love Carrollton, Bill may not say it, but his lives it!,” Smith added.

Bill and his wife, Valerie, have a daughter Angela Wohlwend Johnson and a son Michael, both of Carrollton. They also have four grandchildren.

DONALD “DON” RUTLEDGE, who was nominated

by Carol McIntire, became Editor of the former Carroll Journal Jan. 1, 1964, a position he held until Dec. 29, 1966, when he joined The Free Press Standard as Associate Editor.

Prior to that time he worked at the former J. C. Penney Company store in Carrollton and was a draftsman for General Telephone Co. until beginning his newspaper career with The Carroll Journal.

He completed several journalism and news writing/photo journalism classes at Kent State Stark Campus and Kent State University.

Rutledge is a 50-year plus member of Carrollton First United Methodist Church and is a charter member of the Carrollton Schools Alumni Foundation, currently serving as historian.

He also is a member of Canton Federation of Musicians Local 111 and plays trumpet in the summer concert series of the Canton Concert band and the Stark County Fair Band.

He received the Carrollton Civic Club’s Distinguished Service Award in 1993 and the Carrollton Music Study Club’s Musician of the Year award in 2001.

He also is the recipient of the Carroll County 4-H Advisory Club Friends of 4-H and Honorary member of the Carrollton FFA. Other citations include an award for 34 years of spelling bee news coverage and National and Ohio Music Clubs Award of Merit for excellence in news coverage.

In her nomination, Mrs. McIntire said: “No one has covered Carroll County in a newspaper like Don Rutledge. He’s spent over 50 years taking pictures and writing stories about county residents and loved every minute of it.

“Don is the only person I know who has provided news coverage for three generations of families. When you think of The Free Press – you think of Don Rutledge,” she added.

Community Hospice of Carroll County held a ribbon cutting Thursday, April 4, at its new location at 704 Canton Road, NW, Suite A, Carrollton.

Located in what was Timeless Cuts N Styles, the office space has been renovated to meet the needs of the Hospice staff and volunteers.

Cutting the ribbon are (from left) Community Liaison Suzanne Bates, Chief Financial Officer Nic Reynolds, Chief Operating Officer Mike Griezen, Advisory Board member Melanie Campbell, Chief Executive Officer Norm Mast and Carroll County Chamber of Commerce Director Amy Rutledge.

The volunteers and staff are excited about their new location as they continue to serve Carroll County.

Aultman to offer free cancer screenings Saturday

April is Child Abuse Prevention Month

The Aultman Cancer Center’s 18th Annual Cancer Screening Day provides free cancer screenings to uninsured and underinsured members of the community. The event will be held Saturday, April 13, from 8 a.m. to noon at Aultman Hospital.

Free cancer screening options will include breast, cervical, colon, lung, prostate and skin.

Appointments are required for all screenings. Aultman Hospital follows nationally recommended screening guidelines for all screening events. Please call 330-363-6011 to register.

Participants will be asked questions to determine if they meet screening eligibility guidelines when they schedule an appointment.

The Aultman Cancer Center encourages people with a family history of cancer or those who have never been screened to take advantage of the free cancer screenings.

Cancer Screening Day will also offer educational materials that teach the signs and symptoms of cancer, as well as important screening guidelines for men and women as they age.

For people with average risk, screening recommendations are women 40 and older should have annual mammograms, and men 50 and older should discuss risk factors with a doctor to consider prostate cancer screening. Those who want to learn if they are at higher risk should contact their primary

care doctors. African-American men and any man who has other men in his family with prostate cancer should consider prostate screening sooner at age 45. People age 55-74 who are current smokers or have quit less than 15 years ago should talk to a doctor about lung cancer screening.

This 18th annual event is just one way Aultman employees and local physicians – who volunteer their time for this endeavor – are committed to cancer education and prevention in the community.

Remember: The best cancer prevention is to live a healthy lifestyle. For more information or to register, call 330-3636011.

The Carroll County Job & Family Services is planning activities throughout April to promote awareness of the growing need for intervention and to alert the public of what they can do to help stop the cycle of abuse.

The community is encouraged to wear Blue April 10 to raise awareness of child abuse and neglect prevention.

The annual Child Abuse Prevention Walk will be held April 27 from 10-12. This year’s theme is #EverydayOhioHeroes.

Be a hero to a child in need by picking your super power: Support, Volunteer, Mentor, or Donate. The walk will begin and end at the Carroll County Job & Family Services Building, 95 E. Main St. There will be hot dogs, popcorn, cotton candy, a

bounce house, and door prizes at this event.

Many children experience abuse or neglect and are unaware that their lives can be any different. In 2018, the agency investigated more than 205 reports of allegations of abuse or neglect. The agency’s goal is that this abuse may be reduced by the prevention efforts of you, the community and the combined services of counseling agencies, law enforcement, schools and others that have invested their time and efforts into the lives of children.

It is the hope of Job and Family Services staff that children will find stability, safety and happiness in the present which will continue into their future. It is so easy in a generation of email, cell phones, and social network-

ing to lose sight of what it means to be an involved member of your community. Parenting is such an important yet difficult job.

If communities can come back together to help each other on a personal level, it will provide for a better future for our children as well as our society. Let us all do our part in this task to provide a child with the life they deserve.

Another way you can help is by becoming a Foster Parent. Sometimes families need help in caring for their children while they focus on bettering themselves.

Families are needed. You can call 330-627-2571 to inquire about becoming a Foster Parent or to make a report of abuse/neglect.

Reports can also be made after hours by calling the Sheriff’s Office at 330-627-2141.
